Stephen's Secure Blog #105
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 after
2018, 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 14 in this story, in the Summer, after the end of year 4 of
his special school.
Stephen's Secure Blog #105 "Visit From Tsuriss Museum"

Hoechess called, and said she and her museum director friend would
like to see my home gallery. I said "Has she seen what I have in the
museum? I would recommend that first." She said "She hasn't, but is
willing if you would join us in that." I said "I will. When?" She said
"Any time from now, up to 6 days." I said "We can do it now. I will
meet you there. Then we can go see my home gallery." She said "Good.
Thank you." I contacted Zander and told him about it and said, +I would
like Grace to be with me, so those two hot felines won't try to rape
me.+ He laughed and said, +But you would love that!+ I said +That's
why. I don't what them to think they can succeed in manipulating me in
any way, which they very much want to do.+ He said +I understand.+ I
said +I would like Mgambe to monitor, and show Harditch how her people
are behaving, and any other students you think would benefit from
that.+ He said +Good idea. I'll tell them. Would you be available for a
class discussion later?+ I said +If it would be useful, but I don't
think it will.+ He said +Alright. Have fun.+ I growled, and he laughed.
I said +I think it would be a good idea if you were at my house for the
tour, as my agent, if she wants to buy anything.+ He said +Yes. I'll
pick you all up at the museum.+ I said +Thanks.+
Grace ported to my house just when I did, and I dressed in something
nice. I had a gem crystal to donate, and she carried it in a box. We
ported to an unobserved location in the museum, and we walked to the
curator's office. I introduced Grace, and said, "We are meeting two
Tsuriss here, who want to see my art. Then they will go to my house to
see more, and try to seduce me." She laughed really hard. I grinned and
said, "Grace is with me for protection." She laughed some more. I said
"To protect THEM." Then she almost fell out of her chair laughing.
Grace laughed, too. When things got a little more stable, I said, "Want
another donation?" She said, "I could never refuse you." I hid behind
Grace and said, "Oh please protect me!" More laughter. Then I took the
crystal out of the box. It was a gem quality green and pink tourmaline
crystal, about 74cm long. Crintaj said "Wow!" I said to Grace, "That
approximately translates to, 'Oh yes, we have to have it'." She said
"Almost can't live without it?" I said "Close." Crintaj said with a
grin, "I agree." I said "Our guests are arriving. Would you like to
join us?" She said "Yes I would. If nothing else, just to watch the
interaction, now that you have prepared me for that, with their
agenda." I laughed. We went to the front.
Our guests came in the door, and I did the introductions. Crintaj had
a hard time controlling her reaction to the consternation she detected
in them. I said in Ssintris telepathy to her, +Careful with your
reactions, please.+ She sent back, +Oh my, but you are full of
surprises!+ Grace said +And a lot of other things.+ Crintaj had to
conceal a choke behind a cough. We went on the grand tour, with Crintaj
pointing out things of interest. Our guests actually appreciated her
being with us, then, which Crintaj noticed with some pleasure and
amusement. I said, after we were finished, and all were in Crintaj's
office, "Most of my work here is on loan, or for sale through the
museum. I have only donated gems and minerals, and what they might be
attached to. Like this latest one, here." They appreciated the
tourmaline. The Tsuriss director said, "Those light cubes. We would be
interested in offering them in our museum." Crintaj looked hard at me.
I said "They are miniatures of the big one outside, which they bought
for a LOT of credits, which includes a three year exclusivity. So, see
my agent Zander in three, and we can make the arrangements then." They
both nodded, but not with the same feelings. Then we said our farewells
to Crintaj, and went to the main entrance to meet with Zander.
We went in Zander's flyer to my house, and I gave them the grand
tour. They were almost as interested in my technology as they were in
my art. The pool intrigued them. I said "We use it for recreation and
exercise, and for sports, too." Hoechess said "My species doesn't like
to get wet." I said "That could change. What you dislike is the cold,
and the fact that your fur takes a while to dry, and makes you even
colder, and looks ugly. That doesn't happen here. The water is heated,
and under the blue light, you are clean and dry instantly. It even
cleans Ssintris teeth. Oh, and the water is purified every minute
nobody is in it or near it." They looked interested, so I said, "If you
like, we can all get in and see how it is." Hoechess said "I have to
admit I am tempted, from the joy many species receive from that
activity. However, I don't think this is the right time for this kind
of indulgence." I said "Alright, but there might not be another
opportunity for our special guest. Would you like to see my galleries
now?" They did, and said a lot of wows.
The museum director said, "There are some things I would like to have
for my museum." I said "Then you should discuss that with my agent,
Zander. You can find me at the pool." And that's where I went. Grace
stayed with them. They found me in the pool, swimming around. At my
prompt, Grace stripped and dove in, and we raced around and had a lot
of fun. I said to the others, "Sure you won't join us?" Zander said "I
would like to, but I should stay with our guests. Unless they would
and went through the blue light to get dry. Hoechess said "I notice you
have different distributions of fur. Is that natural or optional?" I
said "For me, optional. I decided not to have any but on my head. Most
males of my kind on maturity, grow it on the face as well, and most
shave it off. I didn't want to bother with that, either. The blue light
is individually programable to remove such things, and even trim
claws." She said "VERY interesting technology!" I said "I thought so,
which is why I included it in my house when I remodeled it recently.
It's in all the personal areas, too, and already programmed for all
known compatible species. You can try it. It's perfectly safe, because
you can't program it yourself. Only we who have the ability to
interface with it, can." Zander went through it, and reported it safe,
and after fingering his fangs, said "They do feel very clean." The
museum director went through, and said, "Oh!" Then she said to
Hoechess, "You have to try this." She first put her arm in the water,
and then walked through the light, and said "Oh!"
I said "Any comments?" Hoechess said "The tickle. What is the purpose
of that?" I said "To let you know it works, and to help you wake up in
the morning. Everybody asks about that feature, and every time I ask if
they think I should remove it, and they all say no, so there it is."
She grinned, then said, "And my arm is perfectly dry, too." Grace said
"When Stephen makes something, he does it RIGHT!" Zander said "Of
course. Why make something wrong?" I said "Exactly." She said "I wish
others could have that." I said "But they can't. It would kill them if
they tried to program them. It uses forcefields. One slight mental
miscalculation, and you could be cut in half, or worse, just partially
in half. It's fully programmed now, by me, so it's safe for everybody
to use here." Hoechess said "That tickle opens up other possibilities."
I said "I know what you mean. I don't think I should do that, and take
from people the incentive to interact with love with other people. We
need more things to bring us closer, and not further apart, which we
already have too much of." She bowed and said, "You are wise, besides
being frustrating." I just grinned, and put my clothes back on.
I said to Zander, "Are there things to load?" There were, and he gave
me the catalog numbers. I said "Grace and I will put them in your
flyer, while you entertain with your sparkling wit, our honored guests
in the lounge." He grinned, and led them there. Grace and I went to the
gallery, and put the acquisitions together, and carefully ported them
to the inside of the flyer, and then went to join them in the living
room. I said "All done." I said to the museum director, "If you would
like to visit again, you would be welcome." She said "You do
commissions?" I said "Yes, to those who can afford them." She said
can work completely unobserved, if I can't transport the finished work
to the site. Some of my methods should not be observed. And I would
very much like to avoid governmental decision making and interference.
I am not a lover of torture." They laughed. She said "We will be in
contact about that, I'm sure." I bowed, and they did, and they went out
to the flyer and took off.
Grace and I hugged and kissed each other. I said "Funny at times, but
it went well. For us, anyway." She laughed, and said, "I know I
shouldn't have, but I liked how sexually frustrated they were, who
couldn't have an opportunity to get you alone. And teasing them with
your nakedness, which they did find attractive, with your well defined
muscles, was just nasty, and I loved that, too." I laughed, and said,
"I know." She said "It would have been VERY interesting if they had
gotten into the water with us." I said "I don't know if I could have
resisted going all the way with them." She said "I know." We laughed.
We sat around and waited a while, and when Zander was back at the
school, we ported there.
Splidnt immediately launched himself at me for a hug. I dodged in
speed mode, and he went flying past me and almost into a wall. He
skidded to a halt barely in time, and was laughing as he turned around
to face me. he said "That wasn't fair!" I said "It was more fair than
you trying to surprise me." Ginging said to him, "See? I told you so."
Splidnt hissed at him, and they both laughed.
