Stephen's Secure Blog #154
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 15 in this story, in fall, after the start of year 6 of his
special school.

From the Council Chamber, we went to Hissssner's house. Rose, Hawk,
and Ichi, joined us there. I said "I apologize for not telling all of
you in advance what was going to happen there. I didn't know. Most of
what I said WAS planned, but not scheduled to be spoken for about
another four years. The Confed issue made that happen faster than we
planned for. I didn't know if I would have to speak as much of it as I
did today. But still, it was better than if I had to say all I could
say." Hissssner said "Probably would have pealed the paint right off
the walls." They were too shocked and sad to laugh. I grinned and said,
"I was prepared for that, literally. I was expecting them to ask more
about my tech, like how do my light sculptures work. They cut apart
some of the miniatures, and found nothing in them they recognized as
being a device. If I were cruel, I might have enjoyed their
frustration." Crintaj said "That's alright. I'll do it for you." I said
"Nice of you. Thanks." There was some chuckling. Hoechess said "I'm so
angry at them, I feel like clawing them to ribbons." I said "Isn't part
of that, because you did, or tried to do, something similar in the
past?" She looked startled, and then said, "The Master Psychologist
does it again. Yes, you are right." I stood, and motioned her to, and I
hugged her with all my love. Rose helped her to sit down, saying
softly, "I just love when he does that." That did garner some smiles.
I said "I can still live here and in my house just as much as before,
which wasn't really that much. I don't actually need to go outside of
it. You all know now I can teleport, So I can bring in any visitors I
want to. Well, if they ask. I can still give things to the museum,
through Rose." She nodded. I said "I have a duplicate of my house on
Misnok, in the Confed. I can just as easily port visitors there, too. I
still have more work to do with the Confed, and they already know more
about what I can do than the GC public. But I don't have to do any.
Ichi, Rose, or Hawk, or all combined, can do it just as well, which I
didn't want the GC to be afraid of, knowing." They nodded. I said "In
case you don't know, the love I projected covered the entire system."
Even Ichi said "Wow!" I said to him, "Ha! It's been a while since I got
you to say that." He laughed. I said to all, "Please don't be sad. All
this means is that I won't be seen in public any more here. There isn't
any good reason to, now, and it would be harmful. I never liked it, and
I'm not sad I don't have to expose my shyness anymore. Rose is still
special to Posintan and so can still get more of our people, after they
graduate from our school, GC citizenship in competing there, which will
be good for them, too. And maybe a little good for Posintan, to be
reminded that other people can have good sportsmanship, and really
appreciate their system." The Posintan Ambassador said, "Absolutely!
But we will always love you." I said "I er, thought I was through with
this embarrassment thing." Rose said, "From friends who love you,
NEVER." They all agreed. I said brilliantly, "Oh." They laughed.
I said "I will still support our schools. And still have pool
parties. I'll still find more students, and help teach them, and
someday we will have so many of us, there just can't be any war, and
everybody will be free to evolve beyond violence. Even it it, er, kills
them." Real laughter then. I said "Anybody want to speculate what the
Council will think and do about what happened today?" Hoechess said "I
can't even make a guess about that." Ichi said, "Even more interesting,
what will the public do to THEM about it." I said "I'm not sure I can
approve of those malicious grins." Some more laughter. Crintaj said,
"One thing I can predict. We can sell more of your art, now, and at
higher prices." I said "Well, I'll have the time to make some more."
I said "Gikkal is calling me. For those who don't know of him, he is
the best and most honest reporter on the planet. He already knew a lot
of what I said today. Oh, he's crying. Well, he likes and respects me.
I'm telling him I'll still be available just like always, but
privately. He feels better about that. I'm telling him that Rose will
represent my group to the GC when there is a need, which I planned the
first week I had known her." Her mouth dropped open in surprise, and I
grinned at that really hard, which made Hawk laugh hard. She recovered
and poked him, which made him laugh even harder. I said to Rose "You
can ask your father about that, because I told him the next day, after
what happened in the museum." She was even more surprised. I didn't
lose my grin. Then I said, "I can still have fun, even in truth,
obviously!" The Inspector Magistrate said "My instrument isn't on, but
I can still verify the truth of that." I grinned and thanked her.
Back at my house on Zichesshich, with Rose, Hawk, and Ichi, I said
"It's funny, but my house is almost always sealed, so what I said about
that isn't new. The air in here is cycled from Earth. If you want a
pine forest scent, I can put the the source in a pine forest. Just
don't ask for a swamp." Rose said "Sagebrush at our ranch." I said
"Done, but cooled a little." And we could smell it. Ichi said "Wow!'"
But he had his mouth covered. I laughed. I said "Any of you could do
the same, if you wanted to. Even if you don't want to create something
different, you could follow my plans." Hawk said "Why bother, when we
have yours?" I said "In a way, that's true. All I have is yours. But,
doing things yourself, is good practice. I won't always be around, for
you to be dependent on." Rose said, "Yes, you'll be a rectangle." Hawk
"While you're ovulating." I said "Eggsactly!" Ichi just groaned. We
tickled him. Rose said "Does he know about Cress?" I said "Well, I
didn't tell him. Why not ask?" Ichi said with interest, "What about
Cress?" She told him. He said "That's great news! Powerful family,
you've got!" I said "Not too bad in the looks, either." Rose and Hawk
poked me. Ichi grinned.
I said "I gave a copy of what happened at the GC, to the Confed PA,
the planetary President, Krack, and Angrala. And to the president of
Posintan. Any of them can call me if they want to talk about it. How is
Splidnt doing?" Ichi said "He's amazing! He reminds me of you at that
age. Brilliant and fun. He'll get it all, and be the first non human
child to be a real Senior Adept. Ginging isn't too far behind. You sure
know how to pick them." Hawk said "Right. He might even have a talent
for it." Rose poked him, and he laughed. Rose said "It's settled. I'm
going to marry Stephen when I'm 18." I said "Naturally, I wasn't
consulted." She said "Who didn't expect it? I know you did! And you,
Ichi. If you are still available then, you should think about Cress
when she gets to near that age." He said in surprise, "Matchmaking
already?" She said "Of course." Ichi said very seriously, "I have been
thinking about marriage a lot. My parents are pushing me to, and
Stephen wants more of us. So far, I haven't found anybody for me, but I
have thought of Cress being somebody I would like to have my wife be
like." Rose was thunderstruck, and screeched, "Really!?" Ichi said "But
she's so young. She might grow up to be different, and prefer somebody
else. And so might I." Hawk said "That's true, but we can't think of a
better man for her. Or for any woman, actually." Ichi said "Oh. Wow!"
He cried. We hugged him. I said "I have to agree, with all my heart."
That didn't help to make him stop crying from happiness and humility.
We hugged and kissed him. I said "I like saying nice things to people.
I wish I could do it more often."
Hawk said "Well, I know what I would like to do more often." I said
"I think your hand is speaking about that, a little louder." He grinned
and said, "Soon, it's going to shout." His hand didn't, but we did,
while we were finishing with a lot of orgasms. After, while we were
resting, I absently stroked them with my love. Rose said in surprise,
"What are you DOING!" I stopped, and said, "What? What was I doing?"
She said "I don't know, but it was like I was being loved somehow, in
different places, like I had fur, and you were stroking it." Ichi said
"I felt the same." Hawk said "Me, too, and it was incredible!" I said
"Hmm. Was it like this?" I tried to do what I had done before, and they
gasped. I said "I guess that was it." Ichi said "So now you know, what
was it?" I said "I'm not all that sure, but it seems like I combined my
projected love, with telekinesis. In effect, I stroked you with my
love." Hawk laughed almost hysterically. When he had calmed enough to
hear me, I said, "What's so funny?" He said "I couldn't help thinking
of what would have happened if you had done that to the GC Assembly."
We joined him in laughing.
