Stephen's Secure Blog #10
These stories about Stephen began was when he was 10 years old, and
moving to a new part of the country to attend a special school for
gifted students, in the 1950's. This was from a time before computers
would fit on a desk, and when people communicated with friends in other
countries by actual letters sent through the postal service. He wrote
225 of them to a friend. He stopped writing to his penpal, but found he
still wanted to record his life, in case he lost his memory again, and
wrote 30 entries in his first logbook. Then he wrote to an artificial
intelligence called Geenee, in the master computer in his school for
gifted students, which he started attending in 2016. Now it's 2018 and
later, and he's continuing to save his memories in a secure blog.
All characters are fictitious, even if some of them might have names
that belong to some actual people, or act like people we know.
The stories may not be posted in chronological order.
Stephen is 12 in this story, in March of year 2 of his special school.
Stephen's Secure Blog #10 "Zander's Training, Part 2"
START Page
Ichi ported back to Zander's apartment on the reception island, to
continue his training.
I laid around on the bed for a while, doing nothing. Then I thought a
little, and put plans for a Ssintris telepathy transducer in a crystal,
with an active encoding table. I wasted more time doing nothing, and
then ported to his door. He yelled "Enter." I did. I said "Now we will
test your energy management. Extend your perceptions as much as you
can. Do you detect any energy lines or concentrations?" One glance at
my aura made him decide to cooperate, and not ask questions. He pointed
out the lines, and an energy concentration in his bedroom. Sandroom, I
should say. I said "See if you can absorb some of it's energy." He
tried a few times, and then succeeded. I said "Very good!" He grinned.
I put a ball of crumbled up paper on his sand, and said, "See of you
can push some energy out of the chakra in your hand at the ball, and
push it to make it move. Let me demonstrate it first. Look for the
energy flows." I did it, and the paper ball moved. I said "Your turn."
It took him a long while but he was finally able to do it. I said
"Would you like to know how you place in speed of learning that?" He
said "Yes." I said "Better than most beginners. Now you have the
technique, we go on to strength." I put a golf ball on the sand. He
tried for an hour, and had to get more energy, but he finally did it.
Exhausted, he said, "How much can you move?" I said "Our Eastern
martial arts has one aspect of this, called Ki. We use it to enhance
strikes and balance. A very few can extend that force outside their
bodies. Some of our students who are not psionic, can do it. In that
fight in the crystal, when I wasn't psionic, I could have smashed him
to a bloody pulp from 3 meters away, if I had wanted to." He and Ichi
both said "Wow!" I just bowed.
I said "You may not have realized it yet, but you have come a very
long way today. You have mastered a number of techniques, which you
only need practice to perfect. Now would you like to learn to connect
mentally to others?" He said "I thank you very deeply for all your
help. Yes I would like that very much." I grinned and said, "I bet you
would. You could really surprise your fellow Guardians with it. At
least that's what you think now. You might change your mind about that
after more consideration. Here's how you do it. It's so simple, it will
surprise you. We will use Ichi as your target. Build a picture of him
in your mind, probably just his face, and put what you can feel of his
personality in it. Will it to be really him, very strongly. Then push
your mind into the picture, gently, and think in words to him." I could
see that it worked. I said "To close the connection, will the picture
to go away." I could feel him do that. I said "The words you make in
your mind can also be echoes of the words you speak out loud. With a
lot of mind control, you can separate them, and even manage multiple
contact conversations separately at the same time. Questions?" He said
"This is indeed simple, but how does it work?" I said "It is simple,
but not how the technique was arrived at, and nobody but it's
originator understands the new math he created for it." He got the
message, and didn't pursue it further.
I said "I think you might have sufficient mind control to be
entrusted with one of our devices. Would you like to try it?" He
grinned and said, "Does that qualify as a stupid question?" I said
"From your feelings, I would say very much so." He laughed. I showed
him my laser ring, and said "Do your people wear rings like this? I can
make it in any design. He said "Some do. I assume it has some unusual
functionality." Ichi and I grinned. I said "Do you have a design you
would like to have it in?" He said "Yes, but how do I give it to you?"
I said "Visualize it strongly, and push it at me." He did and I caught
it. I said "No methods, but you can watch." I made his ring in the air
between us, in 9 seconds, and dropped it into my hand. I said "It is
keyed to operate only for you, Ichi, and me, and will not operate
against us. It is shielded and cannot be tampered with. This was
invented before some regular human invented the basic science of it ten
years later, but this was much better. I will demonstrate." I ported
some firebricks to the floor, and a steel rod on top of it, and a small
lump of tin. I melted the tin with the ring at the low setting, and
sliced the bar in half at the high setting. I said "In these two
settings, it emits a coherent light beam from the gem, with the power,
duration, and focus, by the will of the wearer. I would advise not
keeping it operating more than one minute in 30, or the gem might
degrade. Would you like to have it?" He said "Most definitely!" I gave
it to him, and said "Touch the stone to read the instructions." He put
it on, and very carefully tried it. It worked for him. He took it off.
I said "I suggest that you do not wear it while you are sleeping." He
laughed and said, "I heartily agree!" I said "Someday I should tell you
why I was sure to warn you about that." He laughed again, and said, "I
will anticipate that with much interest." Ichi said "Me too!"
I ported an 8cm crystal ball to my hand and said, "When you can push
this with your mind, we will do some much more interesting things with
energy. Now it is time for Ichi and I to have supper with our family.
When we come back, I will have another gift for you, which I worked on
earlier." He asked Ichi for food, and I ported home, and Ichi did in a
minute. He said in the bedroom, while we were undressing, "What gift?"
I said "Plans for his telepathy transducer." He said "Oh! He will like
that a lot." I grinned. I said "There is still a little time before
supper." He didn't have to be reminded twice. We did nut play in the
link at the highest intensity, till we squirted. He said "That was
intense!" I said, "Well, we didn't have all that much time." He said "I
don't care." We laughed.
We went back after supper. He had a question. "About the ring. How
long will the power last?" I said, "If you don't overuse it and damage
the stone, it should last as long as the finger you wear it on. And no,
it doesn't use your personal power. That raises another issue. It's
something very important we should discuss. You know about the body's
life energy systems, which are partially duplicated in the world and in
space, and you can push some of that energy out of you, and you can
take some of that energy into you. This happens normally between
people, too, but very little, and usually in balance. Except for some
people who have an internal imbalance. Some have too much, and give it
to others. I was like that. Some have too little, and suck it out of
everybody around them. Neither of them know it's happening, and the
people who lose the energy only know they feel tired and depressed
around that person. There is another kind of person who does this
intentionally to people. You felt you needed to have more energy for
your practice. Some adepts prefer to steal it from other people, even
to the point of their death. I have fought and defeated some of them.
The last one stole energy from hundreds of people to use to fight me,
the same as he had fought me in our past incarnations, which he knew
more of than I did at the time. Now that you are aware, you might
discover some of those people in the future. It is the duty of a
Guardian to make them stop. We don't just protect our worlds from abuse
by others, we protect our worlds from those like ourselves who would
abuse their abilities, because we are the only people who can. Your
thoughts?"
Zander said "With power, comes responsibility. You have shown me that
more by who you are and your actions, than you could ever say with
words. I agree with and accept your charge. You will train me to fight
them?" I said "I can only train you to resist their energy stealing. I
can't tell you how to fight what I can't know about. If you are a good
fighter in the normal sense, that would help you most, because it is
won and lost in the mind, like all fights. I won by researching my
enemy, keeping my secrets from him, planning ahead with many
alternatives, using surprises, establishing goals, and very quick
thinking. Those things you can learn and practice elsewhere." He said
"True. And wise."
I said "Do you think you can move the white ball more easily now?"
Zander said "I would like to see if I can." We went to it, and he
actually did move it, and was surprised by it. I said "Tell me why it
was so easy for you now." He thought hard for that one. He said "I am
not sure, but could it be that I had been wasting energy by
concentrating too hard?" I grinned and said, "You can be sure now." He
grinned back. I pointed at the big crystal ball. He looked doubtful,
but tried. It didn't move. I said "Ichi?" He nodded and moved it
easily. Zander said "I understand. You would not have me do what isn't
possible for me. Further, now I know some of why you have Ichi with
us." I said "Not just because I like him." Ichi poked me. I told him,
"More resistance." He nodded and they did it for an hour. Then we
talked.
I said "There are some things you should know about the mind contact.
If you connect to somebody very gently, and keep your mind very quiet,
most people who aren't Adepts won't be aware of you. We feel it's
dishonorable to do that unless somebody's freedom or life is in danger.
We would not have worked to decode your associates' telepathy if we
didn't think it would be needed to help you. Now that we have, here it
is." I gave him the crystal. I said "Beside the plans, it has an active
encoding table. While it is being read by you, if you say a word and
telepath it at the same time, it will add the information to its
database. If you do add some words to it before you leave us, and would
like us to have a copy of it for our archives, we can duplicate it, but
only if it's your wish." Zander said, "Thank you very much. This means
a lot to our people." I said "You are welcome. I have a question. We
can provide the GC a limited number of communication devices like we
gave you. They have unlimited range and are instantaneous. They can't
be tampered with or examined internally. They would be in keyed pairs,
and not tunable. My question is, should we? Don't answer now. Think it
over and tell us tomorrow, or when you are ready. I think that's all we
should do today. You can practice moving things. Tomorrow we will be
doing more mind management, and some energy transformations. Any
questions?" He said "Not at the moment, but I expect to have some ready
for you tomorrow." We grinned and bowed. And left.
In our bedroom, I asked Ichi for comments. He said "I like what
you're doing with responsibilities. I'm not sure about the communicator
offer." I said "What do you think I planned with that? Before he
answers tomorrow, I might tell him there would be conditions." He said
"What conditions?" I said "My question first." He said "If he's smart,
he'll ask about the conditions. If he's REALLY smart, he'll just say
no. If he's a genius, he'll poke you on the nose for screwing with his
mind." I laughed. I hugged and kissed him and said, "Very good, and you
made it funny, too. Now to your question. I would have to present the
deal in person to the Council in session, and give THEM conditions,
about how the Earth is treated." He said "I like that! But what if he
says no, like he should?" I said "No problem. Soon enough, I'm going to
do it, or something like it. Then I will have his support. In real
situation management, all likely results should be positive in their
own way, available for improvement if desired." He said "So Scholar
Nigel was right?" I knew he meant about his replacement as my
understudy. I said "Absolutely!" He cried. I let that go for a while,
then I put his hand on my nuts and started the link. That made him
interested in something else more enjoyable, and after a very pleasant
while, we squirted. Then we slept in the ultimate comfort of each
others' loving arms.
