Stephen's Secure Blog #263
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 17 in this story, in late Winter of year 7 of his special
school.
Stephen's Secure Blog #263 "Another PM Meeting"
START Page
I met with the Prime Minister of Thailand. After some polite things,
I said, "Did the monarchy survive my er, strangeness?" He laughed, and
said, "You know it did, and better than ever. I thought the public
would oppose His Majesty treating you like an equal, but it turned out
to be the other way around. They liked that YOU treated the King as
your equal." I said "I tried to tell them that I treat everybody that
way. I really do, including the Presidents of star empires, and old
street sweepers. Well, when they aren't enemies." He said "You know
people will believe what they want to believe." I grinned and said,
"Including you?" He said "In duties, I don't have that luxury. His
Majesty likes you." I said "Liking is a lesser part of love, and a
precursor. I get that a lot, but I never try for it. That would be
dishonest. I am just who I am." He said "Well, I like it. The question
about sex wasn't on the list. I apologize for that." I said "No need. I
would answer all the questions which can happen, my way. That can
frustrate some people, but most often it astounds them, and sometimes
they regret asking. That happened in the Galactic Council Assembly,
which required that I appear there. I have not made another public
appearance on any GC world since then, which I told them would happen,
at the end of the questioning. They were really sorry they caused that,
after disliking me before that." He said "Will that be the same here?"
I said "Do you think I can walk the streets now, without causing a
large disturbance?" He said "I understand. When the truth of who you
are comes out, you have to leave." I said "From the public, yes, but I
do keep in contact in private. So, no more concerts here. They would
tear down the hotel to get near me." He said "But not so in the rest of
the world." I said "Probably. In Tibet, I go only to religious places,
and so I am treated with respect and restraint. To the West of us, they
would try to arrest me. Naked and weaponless, what they would point at
me wouldn't cause much more than laughter." He laughed really hard. I
grinned, and said, "Like now. To the East of us, I don't know what
would happen. In America, most would treat me as any American. Some
would challenge me as a fake, and some would shove their religious
intolerance onto me, which is ironic, as I was the most loved of the
Christian Saints. We are going to find out." He grinned, and said, "It
should be interesting." I said "It has been so far, at my art gallery
events. One big man threatened to break me in half if I didn't tell him
how I knew his name. I er, showed him why he couldn't do that. I became
his counselor, and his private investigator for his troubles. His
brother in law is stealing from his company and funding terrorists. I
told Homeland Security what to do about that, which didn't please them
at first. I had to er, convince them of the strength of my desire." He
laughed, and said, "You do lead an interesting life, and you tell it
with such humor, that people enjoy hearing about it, probably more than
you do living it." I said "Yes, that is true. I leave a lot of people,
laughing. I like that. Happiness is good."
I said "Ah! It's happened. We are about to be visited by a spaceship.
The last I will allow from the Galactic Council, which I told them. My
people have automatic detectors for these occurrences, but I'm a little
more sensitive, so I discovered them first. In another day, they will
be slow enough so that they can accept communication." He said "You can
see them?" I said "I can sense the disturbance their faster than light
drive creates at the edge of our solar system. Their drive works by
causing the space around them to change in a way that affects speed and
other properties of matter and space. It blinds them, but not me. I can
see inside their ship, and can speak to them, but there is a time
differential which would make that useless. The effects of Dr.
Einstein's Relativity. We will wait until they have turned off their
stardrive, and have slowed down enough for us to communicate usefully,
to greet them. I know Captain Zolnox. Here is what he looks like." He
said "Wow!" I said "They are less a warlike people than most out there.
They think their teeth are sexy." He laughed. I said "They have an
observation station on Earth. It will be closed down, and their
personnel will go back on the ship. It will be interesting if the
Captain doesn't know that yet." He laughed, and said, "Why will it be
closed down?" I said "Because WE don't need it here, and they were
raiding businesses in their area for intoxicants, and actually
purchasing illegal drugs. We stopped that some time ago, after we had
collected video evidence. They actually planned to kill the inspector
who was supposed to go back on a ship. We rescued him, who had been my
student, who is now on his world and running one of my schools."
I said "The station isn't very careful with their shuttles'
invisibility apparatus, and they break down a lot, letting them be
seen, and we do NOT want them to know what is happening in Tibet. My
technology is much in advance of theirs. So, they have to go. When the
Earth is advanced enough to go to the stars, WE, the people of Earth,
will do it OUR way, and not as they would allow us." He said "Wow!" I
said "Maybe. My students and children will be involved with that." He
said "You have children?" I said "I will. A boy and a girl. I have seen
them." I showed him the painting. He said "Fine people." I said "For
them, thank you. I expect to be gone before they reach that age." He
happens. One time in public, in a trance, I painted the future with
people like the captain in it. There was some disturbance." He laughed.
I said "More so, because it was noticed that I and my students
recognized them." He laughed some more. I said "I was ready to catch
some eyeballs when they were about to pop out." He laughed again. He
said "I have to ask, will you ever do comedy on stage?" I said in
surprise, "My communications with the media aren't funny enough?" He
said "That's not what I meant." I said "I've already done it, in a way.
Want to see it?" He said "Absolutely!" I showed him my funny Strauss
songs on the piano. He laughed. I said "We might show that in the
States. It wouldn't go well here, with how people want to think of me."
He said "I understand."
I said "Does His Majesty still want to see me in private?" He said
"He does, very much." I said "Do you know what he wants to discuss?" He
said "He didn't tell me." I said with a grin, "That's not what I
asked." He laughed. I said "That's alright. People his age usually want
to know what I know about death and after. And they want to know if
their children will be any good. And there might be some curiosity
about me." He said "That's what I was thinking." I said "You agree with
me! You must be very intelligent." We laughed. I said "So, when will
that be?" He said "Won't you be busy with the starship?" I said "Others
will handle most of that. I would just be doing some polite things as
the boss. Well, except for one thing. If they have the same Chief of
Engineering as the last time, I want to be a lot more than polite with
her." He was very surprised. I grinned and said, "This is what she
looks like. The fur rubbing on human skin, well, I think you can
understand. Galactic Council ships are seldom of just one species. They
don't discriminate. One of us had sex with her when her ship visited
last. Ever since then, we have all been very eagerly waiting for her
return, and er, our turn." He laughed, and said, "So you DO believe in
sex!" I said "Absolutely! I am love. Sex is a great way to share and
increase it. Sex without love is harmful to the spirit. That, I and my
students do not do."
He said "With your love for all, would that include sex with men?
Please ignore that if it offends you." I said "I don't have sexual
feelings for men, but I am not able to refuse men who love me enough to
want to do that with me, when the time and the reason is right. And
that includes groups, too. Naturally, friendship would need to be part
of that, and mutual respect. You might find this interesting. We have
found throughout the galaxy, that Adepts do not advance beyond what we
call the trained basic level, until they are able to freely feel and
express love. When we bring that to them, they become more enlightened,
and are able to do more, with more understanding. But it isn't easy for
them to change who they are. It takes a lot of effort and time, but
they do improve. Also, throughout the galaxy, the more important and
powerful a person is, the more that people want to have sex with him.
That is one of the wrong reasons. Sometimes that frustrates my
students." He laughed and said, "I can imagine." I said "Maybe not.
Most of my students, or my students' students, are of other species,
and they do not have most of the social restrictions of sexual things
as most human societies do. Some of that can be amusing. They all want
to know what size a particular part of me becomes, and they are not shy
about asking about that in public, and offering to assist in its er,
development. Children, especially." He laughed. I said "That can be a
little awkward when one of them is asking that, while such young furry
person is sitting on your lap." He laughed loudly. Then he said, "What
did you do about that?" I said "There is more. Our students feel each
other's feelings, including those about sex. And we see without eyes,
all around us, and inside things. Privacy is mostly impossible. I told
him that I would not like to be a museum display object, and that my
species can become very frustrated to have such a state as he wanted to
see, and then not complete the action it was for."
He said "Did he accept that?" I said "Yes, because our emotion sense
shows us when somebody is lying. He knew I would enjoy his er, help,
but he had to accept the truth of my reason. Then we discussed the draw
that personal power has, and I helped him, and his roommate of the same
species, make the connection. He realized it was true, but that didn't
change his desire, and the desire of all the others, which included the
adults." He said "Did he ever get his wish?" I grinned, and said, "Yes.
Would you like to know how?" He said "Absolutely!" I said "Somehow, I
knew you would say that." He laughed. "My house there has a swimming
pool. His species hates being wet. We don't swim with clothes on.
Nobody covers up to go in the water but Earth people. I convinced them
to try it, because the water is heated, and my instant personal
cleaning system also dries their fur in an instant. So they tried it.
The whole school did, and with some of my own students, too. Well, a
lot of interesting things can happen under the water, and one part of
the pool is a hot tub, with lots of bubbles. We all packed into that,
at the end of the swim time, and it was very crowded, and one thing led
to another, and, well, I'll put it this way. It was a good inducement
for them to practice holding their breath under the water." He laughed
very hard. Then he said, "Was its use completed? I said "I wasn't the
only male in that state by then. The females weren't immune to their
own stimulation. And being that we all shared each others' feelings,
there was some amplification of them. Before we knew it, we had all run
through the cleaning station, and were on the soft area near the pool,
very energetically finishing the er, completion." He laughed hard
again. I said "Pool parties have become the most popular kind of
entertainment the schools have. But it's just mutual masturbation. We
have rules. One of them is that there is no penetration when there is
somebody not of legal age for their species, present."
I said "There are some odd things in that. Hopchers have fur, and
long prehensile tails, which they like to employ in sexual activities.
And as a species, they are full of love. They are VERY popular, and a
lot of them serve as house parents to the younger students. These
people, being like hard skinned insects, do not like to hug each other,
but love to hug soft skin people. These big people have three sexes. I
have not dared to ask them how they do it at home." He laughed hard
again. I said "So, now you see why I didn't want to talk too much about
sex to the press." He said "Yes. You DO lead a very interesting life."
I said "Would His Majesty like to have this meeting in his crystal?" He
grinned, and said, "Absolutely!" I said "I'll do that. Please let me
know when the meeting will be, so I can tell the Abbot with enough time
for him to make arrangements to be away from his Temple. Do you think I
should share our meetings with the Abbot?" He said, "For myself, I give
permission. The more he knows about your involvement with His Majesty,
the better." I said "Then I will, and watch carefully for a heart
attack." He laughed. We rose, and I said, "I should have a meeting with
my people about what we will do about the spaceship. They already know,
but I think they like to hear the way I say it." He said "I can really
believe that!" We laughed. I hugged him with love, and ported away. I
updated their crystals.
