Stephen's Secure Blog #69
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 13 in this story, in the Summer, after the end of year 3 of
his special school.

Percy, Ichi, and I got out of Zander's flyer, and went inside my
house. In the living room, which I set to Earth normal comfort, I said,
"I didn't know this would take two days. Sorry for dragging you here a
day early." Percy said with a grin, "I'm not sorry at all!" Ichi said
"Me too. It's always interesting around you. And a lot of fun.
Especially after." He hugged and kissed me. I said "We have to decide
what to do now. We can stay, or go back to Earth for the night." Percy
said "What are you going to do?" I said "I stay where the mission is,
if I can, until it's done. But don't let that influence your choice.
Not much action here until we see the cats. You know, someday we are
going to find out if cross species conception and viable birth is
possible. I expect that will take a whole lot of er, energetic trying."
Percy said "Absolutely!" Ichi said "I will stay here with you." Percy
said, "Your picture of the President. Can you do that for Surrhaa?" I
said "I put my feelings about their personality in the picture as I'm
making it. If I do that for her, with you and Ichi here and your
feelings about her, it's going to make us VERY hot." He said "Please."
I said "Well, don't squirt on the picture before I'm finished." They
laughed.
We undressed to get comfortable, and I made the picture. I could hear
them panting behind me. When I was finished, and they crowded closer
for a better look, I did get poked, and it wasn't by fingers. Then they
hugged and kissed me, and that led to some really wild and intense
sexual play, and we squirted very hard. While we were resting, I said,
"I'll have to be more careful with what I put in these things, or they
are going to get covered with a lot of wiggly happiness." Percy said
"Not yet. Getting there, though. I couldn't quite reach it. We should
try again soon. I'm staying." Ichi said "I'm not surprised." We
laughed.
In the morning, we had another squirting session to get the day
starting right. Then we cleaned up and had breakfast, which I ported in
from the school. Then we talked a while, bringing Percy up to date
about what I had been doing on this world. He said wow a lot. Then we
went to the gyn in the basement to work out. Percy had never seen Ichi
and me really go at it in practice. More wows. While we were resting,
he said, "I've never seen anything like that!" Ichi grinned and said,
"We slowed it down for you. At our full speed, you really wouldn't have
seen anything, like it or not. We couldn't, either. Need object sense
for that, or clairvoyance." Percy said a very loud "WOW!" I said "We
usually don't let people see what you saw. Please don't spread it
around." He said "I understand. I won't. Can any others do that?" I
said "The speed you saw? Only one other could that I know of, but I
would advise him not to, at his age." He said "Oh. You mean Pete." I
said "I'm not going to violate privacy, so I won't tell you who." He
said "Right Sorry." I said "Are you ready to go see our new friends, or
do you need some more er, safety preparation? Oh, I see that you do.
More work." They laughed, and we did a lot leading up to squirting. We
cleaned up and had lunch, and discussed the Tsuriss. Then Zander came
and picked us up and brought us to the President's home to meet the
Tsuriss.
We were led to the art room, which had a lot of extra chairs in it.
Surprisingly, the room was much cooler than usual, I suspected for the
comfort of the Tsuriss. We turned off our protection, which Zander
noticed. I let him know I approved of his perception, which pleased
him. They stood when we walked in, and we all bowed to each other and
had introductions. They were both female, the Ambassador to Zander's
world, and the Ambassador to the GC, Hoechess and Singar. They were
beautiful! They knew we thought and felt that, too, and were pleased.
So did Hissssner and Zander, who were amused, which the Tsuriss
noticed, and were not pleased about. Before we sat down, Ichi, Pete,
and I, presented our hands to the Tsuriss, who gave us the greeting of
family. They were of the same clan of Surrhaa. We were all speaking the
GC language.
Singar said to Pete, "Surrhaa has told us of your help in repairing
her ship, and that she likes you very much." Before Pete could reply,
Singar said to me, "She told us of you, who she said is the wise leader
of your people. There are some things we do not understand about that."
She didn't say any more, so I said "I would be happy to repair that, if
you will tell me what the problems are. One way to start that, is to
tell me what you already know." She said "We were told that you are the
leader of your people who helps offworlders, and that your people are
separate from the other people on your restricted planet. Is that
correct?" "I said "Yes. Accurately stated." She said "We don't
understand how that can be, when a restricted planet should not have
the technology you displayed in your assistance." I said "Logic would
indicate that the restricted world designation which the GC has applied
to my world, is in error. Or that some people were using advanced
technology from another world. Or, that a small group of people had
advanced itself significantly over the rest of the people on that
world, and is hiding that from everybody else. Can you think of any
other likely possibilities?" She said "We can not. Further, we would
rule out your second possibility, in that what was demonstrated showed
a thorough and creative knowledge of the technology which was used,
which would be very unlikely if it had been from another world, unless
you were born and raised on that other world, which Surrhaa said you
were not." I said "The GC is not in error, this time." She said "Then?"
I said "What we do, and how we do it, is all of our own invention. We
do not share it with our world, because only we are able to understand
it. The GC has a rule about that. We agree with it, and uphold it." She
said "You would not share it with us?" I said "We can't. It is not just
our choice. It is not possible." She said "Why is it not possible?
a way you can understand. To start, what do you think about the art in
this room?" She said "It is wonderful. Possibility some of the best in
the galaxy." I said "Can you create their equal? Even with all the
training and education possible?" She said "No. I see what you mean.
Your technology requires some specific personal qualities to understand
and operate?" I said "Precisely. Rare qualities. On our world, less
than 8 per generation, of seven billion, of which we accept about
half." She said "What are those qualities?" I said "One is
intelligence. One is age. Learning must start very early in childhood.
And there are special talents, which are required for full
progression." She said "Which special talents?" I said "That we will
not say, except to the people who have them." She said, "Then,
intelligence?" I said "We have a way of measuring which is different
from other worlds. To tell you more, I would have to measure your
intelligence, to show comparisons. I can do that now, in a second, if
you will permit." She said "How will you do that?" I said "I would scan
you. An examination of the part of you that would be of interest, only.
You would experience nothing, and it can't cause any harm." She said
"Proceed." I did that, and said, "How does your level of general
intelligence compare with others of your people?" She said "Very much
above average, near to genius." I said "We use numbers. 100 is average.
Above that is above average. 130 and above is gifted. 160 and above, is
genus. 200 and above, is super genius. Your number is where you said it
would be, at 152. That usually does not qualify for our schools as a
child."
She said "What is your level of intelligence?" I said "It has not
been accurately measured. Above 200, and inconclusive about how much
higher than that. Before training. Now, it can't be measured by tests,
because we train our minds to run multiple parallel processes, and to
use other skills, which can increase our intelligence significantly."
Hissssner said "Wow!" I said with a grin, "We hear that a lot."
Hoechess said "How do we know this is the truth?" I said "Do you think
we would lie to fellow clan members?" She said "Please forgive me. I
was wrong to ask that." I said "Yes in one way, but you are right to
question the unusual. I respect you for that. Here we go into one of
those talents which are required. All of us know when we are being lied
to. There are different ways to do that. One is a special talent.
Another way is analysis of body language. We do both. One more thing.
We do not lie. That would interfere with, maybe even damage, our mental
precision, which is required for our technology to be operated safely.
Percy used his environmental envelope in repairing the ship's engine.
The room was open to space. If he had lied before or during that
operation, the forcefield which protected him from airless space, might
have failed, and killed him. That's not why he didn't tell any lies. He
didn't, because he didn't think to, because it's not part of who we
are. There is another quality we look for. Love. We need to be able to
feel love. We could not trust each other with our lives, without love.
Surrhaa should have told you about the love we have." Singar said "She
did, and, if you will forgive, another thing which we find difficult to
believe."
I said "I am disappointed that you would doubt our friend Surrhaa.
So, I ask you. Would you want my love?" She said "If you would give
it." That's what I did, to everybody in the room. After a time for
recovery, Hoechess said, "That cannot be denied." I said "Why would you
want to? I ask, because it seems that is what you are trying to do. We
met Surrhaa in the course of a rescue mission. We helped. Lives were
saved. We were very impressed by her, and liked her a lot. Loved her.
She was impressed by us, and liked and loved us. What I see here is
your disapproval of Surrhaa and what she has done regarding us. Dislike
and distrust of our friend, and of us. I can understand your distrust
of us, but not of Surrhaa. What has she and we done to deserve this?"
Singar said "We did not believe another species could be so compatible
with us, as Surrhaa described." I said "That answer is not complete.
More is required." Silence. "You will wish you had said it, than I.
Well?" More silence. I said "You did not want to believe that another
species, or some members of one, could be your equal in the things of
yourselves that you value, and possibly your superiors in some way.
That is unfortunate for people in the positions you hold." She stood up
and said "We will not stay here and be insulted." I said in her
language in command voice, "You WILL stay and address your wrong to the
people YOU have insulted. SIT DOWN!" She sat, in shocked surprise.
I said "We speak the truth. Always. Among us, that never is an
insult. In fact, we view people who are insulted by the truth which can
help them, as mentally ill. Do you wish us to think that of you, and as
representatives of your species, of ALL of you? We asked to see you.
Did you ever consider asking WHY? Hissssner is my friend. He graciously
arranged this meeting for us, at our request. We are his guests, too.
You have insulted his guests in his presence, which is an insult to
your host. You did everything you could do but say it outright, that we
are liars and could not possibly be your equals, even after asking such
personal questions that we do not even ask ourselves of each other.
Then you refused to say why, so I told you. The only insults here are
YOURS, not mine. You still have not asked us why we wished to meet with
you. Tell me why, before I tell you that. Speak!" Silence, then
Hoechess said, "I understand. I will say it. Arrogance. We felt,
because of our positions, that we were the superior, but you with your
intelligence and advancements made us feel small, and we reacted badly
to that. I apologize." I said "Accepted." I looked at Singar. She said
nothing. I said to them both, "I think you will really regret not
asking why we wanted to meet with you, before all this. Are you going
to ask now?" Singar said "I ask." I waited, and she said, "Why did you
request this meeting?"
I said "There are two reasons. One, is to tell you that we removed
all the Van from your solar system, as we did with this system, and all
the other inhabited systems where they had bases and offices, and they
will never return. The other reason WAS to offer to teach your
qualified people to be our equals, which we are doing for other
species. Now do you see what you have thrown away?" Hoechess actually
tried to attack Singar! I put a 4th wall between. I said to Singar, "I
am preventing Hoechess from harming you, even though I sympathize with
her point of view. Tell me, who is truly at fault here?" She stayed
silent. I said "Speak, or I will send a file of this meeting to your
planetary government." She screamed and tried to hurt, first me, and
then when she couldn't, herself. I restrained her. I said to Hoechess,
who had stopped her attack, "Is this normal for your species?" She said
"It would be wise of me not to underestimate you. Therefore I must
assume that you know it is not normal for us, but a sign of severe
mental impairment, which I hope is not permanent." I said "I am pleased
by your rational judgement. Do you agree or disagree with what Singar
has expressed here?" She said "I disagree with all of it. She is the
senior of us, so I let her take the lead, as is our custom. She has
shamed our people."
I said "She needs to be relieved of her duties, and sent for
treatment. Getting that done might be difficult. Who we are is only for
the levels of such as you and Hissssner. I can make copies of this
meeting available, as proof of her, er, difficulties, but only to your
planetary leader. Do you have any helpful suggestions?" She said "I do
not." I said "As the nearest and senior representative of her species,
do you believe she is mentally incompetent to make rational judgements
and decisions at this time?" She said "I understand what you are
saying. I should have suspected it. You are a therapist. She is not
rational." I said "Yes, and thank you. I can't treat her. She does not
have a brain malfunction, and I am the target of her antipathy. She
could not accept counseling from me. There is something else I can do
to help, if you authorize it. I can lay a command on her which will
help her control her actions, and cause her to seek proper treatment."
She said "That is more kindness than she deserves, and I thank you.
Yes, I authorize it." I said "Is there a qualified therapist for your
people here on this world?" She said "We have a large staff here,
between us. There is a qualified therapist available."
I said in pushed commands to Singar, in her language, "Singar! Hear
me and obey! You will control your behavior to not become physically
violent to yourself and to others, of any species. You will follow and
obey the commands of Hoechess in regard to your seeking and receiving
help for your mental health, and you will obey the commands of that
therapist when he or she gives them. When Hoechess tells you to, you
will say to your therapist what I have said to you that you are hearing
now, which are my commands to you. Your therapist can release you from
my commands by saying, 'I release you from Stephen's commands'. There
is one command you will never be released from, which is, 'You will not
communicate anything of me and my people in any way without Hoechess'
authorization'. I know you will obey my commands." I pulled out of her
mind and brain, after putting her to sleep. I gave Hoechess a camera
memory card and said, "This contains a file which shows her er,
distress. The therapist might find it useful. She is sleeping now, and
will wake when I let her." She started to ask how, but I said "No." She
nodded. I said "I'm impressed by your intelligence, which appears to be
significantly more than you need for your er, current position." She
laughed. Then she said, "I've thought that for years. I respect you and
your abilities, but now I find that I like you, too. Surrhaa was right.
You are good people." I said "Thank you. That means a lot to us. Please
keep that we removed the Van, a secret for now. I think you know not to
ask how." She said with a smile, "Yes, and I will keep the secret. You
want to use that at some future time to allow yourselves to be taken
more seriously." I said "Brilliant!" She almost glowed with happiness.
Ichi said to her, "I agree. I am second to Stephen, and I don't know if
I could have reached that conclusion as fast as you did, given the
circumstances." Pete said "I just think you are very nice." Ichi and I
poked him, and we laughed.
I said to Hoechess, "You might not know this, but your species and
mine, at least with our males and your females, are sexually
compatible." She said with interest, "Surrhaa had hinted. I will take
that as confirmed." I said "On our side, we feel, in practice, it
should be confirmed as often as possible." Zander and Hissssner almost
fell out of their chairs laughing. I said to Hoechess, "They are very
susceptible to our humor. All the more because we are truthful in that,
as in everything else." She said with a smile, "I am not immune!" I
said "Good. What do you think about starting a school like ours on your
world?" She said "I feel VERY positive about that." I said "There will
be problems to solve. There must be a first student of your kind, who
will then teach the others about their special talents. We could teach
such a one in our school, but it would not be good for her. We live on
a restricted world. That student could not be where the general
population would notice. It would be like a prison for the student, if
such student had time away from studies and sex play, with the
popularity which would be experienced. One advantage is that our
climate where our school is, is a little more comfortable for you than
this world, which is only good for sandy dry roasting." She laughed and
said, "I have noticed that. But, if there were a school of your kind
here, our students would accept such discomfort." I used Zander's kind
of telepathy and said, +What do you think?+ He said +I would gladly
accept a qualified student!+ Hissssner said +I would support that.+ I
said +Then make the offer.+
Zander said "With their help, I am starting such a school here, and I
already have an offworld student they sent to me. I would gladly accept
any student of your people which Stephen chooses." Hoechess said "I
understand. You are their student." Zander said to me, "Brilliant is
right. I don't know how she does it, but I do admire her for it." I
grinned. I said to Hoechess, "How is Singar's second? Any good? If not,
at least rational? She said "Better, but I don't know by how much.
Before you ask, I will check her out, and see what happens." I said
"What about on your homeworld?" She said "I have some useful contacts
there. I will start working on that. How can I contact you?" I gave her
a card which had the coordinates of my house, and the phone number
there. I said "We are not usually there, we travel so much, but calls
will be transferred to our communication center. They can then inform
us of the call, and we can then talk with you. There will be no
transmission delays." She said "Even if you are not in this system?" I
said with a grin, "You already assumed that." She laughed. Zander said
"Wow!" The rest of us agreed.
I said to Hoechess, "Do you have your own transportation?" She said
"We do." I said "Will you need help with Singar?" She said "That I
would not refuse." I said "My friends Ichi and Pete will go with you.
They will return by their own methods." She said "I look forward to
seeing them do that." I said with a grin, "You know you won't." She
laughed again. I said "There is one last thing, for this visit, which
you might find a little unusual." She laughed. I said "I deserved that.
Anyway, with our own people, we express and share caring and affection
physically, by hugging, preferably not with clothing in way, which we
don't wear in our homes. And with a physically compatible species.
Zander's is not. Yours is. May I hug you before you leave?" She held
out her arms, and I went into them, broadcasting my love. It, and she,
was wonderful. After a while we parted and she said, "I did not expect
that." I said "I did." She said, "We will see each other again. You can
be sure of that." I said "I am!" She laughed. She and Singar, after I
let her wake up, and Ichi and Pete, went out and to their flyer and
took off. Both Ichi and Pete requested I keep a watch on them, and I
said I would, and they would keep a watch on me. Standard procedure on
a mission. Then I sat and talked with Zander and Hissssner.
