Stephen's Secure Blog #434
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 24 in this story, in Winter of year 14 of his special school.

Some companies didn't like what I said about the H-1B immigration
law, and said so, loudly. I fired back by giving CNN a stack of
individual case histories, overall descriptions of what they did, and
supporting documents, and even recordings of meetings inside the
companies, and with lawmakers. And I gave a press release, saying, "I
was going to wait a month to see if the companies would do the right
thing and fix the problem. Instead, they tried to make the wrong thing
worse, so here it is a little earlier. Now they have a lot more
problems than they had before. This should serve notice to all. When I
suggest you do the right thing for your own people and your country,
being noisy about it will really cost you. Do it some more, and see
what else I can do." One company did. I gave things to DOJ,
Immigration, and even to Border Control and Customs. I got together
some lawyers to do a class action suit on behalf of fired employees. I
showed all that to the stock holders in a mass emailing. Many bailed.
CNN and Fox reported that the company might not survive. The other
companies are treading very carefully now. Chad wished otherwise.
I said to Chad, "I have a problem. Thermocouples are too inefficient,
verging on divorce." He poked me. He said "Heat directly into
electricity. Would make nuclear reactors MUCH more efficient. Other
burning power plants, too. Got it?" I said "Yes, but there is a
problem. Needs electricity to get it running, and the physics is too
advanced for it to be understood now. They couldn't repair it if it
broke, and what it was on, would melt." He said "Can't make it
simpler?" I said "Nope. Tried. We can convert radiant heat, infrared,
but with today's understanding, that's it. Thought about putting it in
volcanos, but the wires from it would melt." He said "Iceland. Submerge
in hot pools." I said "In the one country that doesn't need it. Fusion
is actually easier, and I do NOT want that on Earth!" He said "Right.
Kaboom!" I said "And one more thing. Serious heat pollution. A planet,
to be stable, should recycle its energy. Adding something seriously
unnatural in heat producing, will cause too much heat pollution, and
instead of having global warning, we toast everybody. Also why I appose
squirting microwaves at Earth from space sun collectors."
He said "But if we had them, and a good way to store the power, which
short, and it will really let loose. Instant new major volcano. No core
taps, either. On really shaky ground there." I got poked again. He said
"How small can you make a self contained fusion reactor?" I said
"Can't. Needs a big jolt of power to start it. Leave out that source,
and it could be smaller than one of my big Welcome cubes. Another
problem with these powerful power sources, is distribution. We lose
half the power from Niagara that we take from it, in transmission
loss." He said "Even the 4th power is a negative, being from outside."
I said "Yes, but not nearly as much as fusion, not being associated
directly with heat. But we REALLY can't offer that. Maybe never. Only
super genius Adepts will ever understand it." He said "Someday, when we
have enough of them." I said "Maybe. You, a few incarnations from now."
Chad said, "Speaking about that, I take it you want me to stick
around for a while after you skip out, to look after your youngins?" I
said "I would think your curiosity would make it unnecessary for me to
ask." While he was poking me, I said, "But, of COURSE I'm asking." We
laughed. I said "How many kids do you have now?" He said "If you mean
from donations, as of this moment, 231. Most of them should have been
yours. You've got 24. More on the way. In a few years, the school is
going to be full of blonds." I said "About time we put that stereotype
to rest." He said "Sure no dumb blonds here! Four of my earliest coming
to school next year, and if their parents aren't overwhelmingly smug, I
don't know who is." I said "Even the fathers like it?" He said "Mixed,
but yes. Problem keeping them from crowing to the world." I said "If it
gets too bad, have to move to Allguard." He said "We'll have to, just
for the space." I said "Or Belize. Not Tibet, though. Tough on casual
visitors. Still, we should have homes here. Navajo." He said "Right.
Good for them. All that horsing around." My turn to poke him.
Sol and Kamala are super geniuses. I'm not sure how much, yet. Both
can read, and are into calculus. We are using indestructible tablet
computers for that. They're a little rough with their things, even
though we're good at catching them in the air. On the other kid side,
Minster and the twins are almost inseparable. As expected. They are
also full Senior Adepts, and the most talented of their people. I
visited with them at Zander's school. Minster said, "We like what
you've done for our people. How was it possible?" I said "I'd like to
be able to tell you, but I don't know. Rose thinks it's just me being
me, and that there is more to that than I realize. Well, who else could
I be?" They grinned. He said "You know what we want." I said "And you
know what I said about that. Too early, and things will actually get
worse. They should know that all the Adepts are out of power before
their own do the broadcasts, and that shouldn't happen until the
government they leave is a good one that can withstand even more
changes for the better. Your people are going to know the aliens they
thought were captive slaves, were actually highly educated and trained
people. They WILL figure out why that is. Then they will discover that
the aliens have their own Adepts, and that I've been teaching them too.
And doing sex. Well, maybe not that last thing." They laughed.
I said "Speaking of that. Do you all know how it is with me, Rose,
and Hawk?" They nodded vigorously. I said "I could almost hear your
brains rattling." They laughed. I said "So, you KNOW I understand how
it is with you." I watched their heads closely, and they laughed hard.
Minster said, "We know. And another thing. When you go, we will be with
and for them whenever they need us." I said "So I don't have to ask.
Thank you. I would like to do something, but I know I shouldn't, yet.
If the government Adepts met with you too soon, it might hold back
their progress. I want them to be awed by you a little later. It
wouldn't hurt if you spent that time in improving yourselves even more.
Then we could really blow up their minds! Er, astound them." More
laughter. I said "It's time for me to go to their class. Rose and Hawk
are already there. You can watch, of course. Just don't let them detect
stood and hugged me, and ported to join my kids. I ported to join the
class.
I said "My arriving was noticed by more than your group." The Leader
said, "In the government?" I said "Some, and some not. What should we
do about that, if anything? Besides growling." Hawk laughed the
loudest. The Leader said, "Sometimes I wish I didn't love you." I gave
him a big fat grin. When he stopped laughing, he said, We could invite
them." I said "And if some accept?" He said "I see what you mean. A
separate class wouldn't hold us back. San?" San said, "Ready." I said
"Now, how do we ask them?" Leader said, "We can't. We don't know who
and where they are!" I dropped some papers in his lap. He said "Oops!"
More laughter. He said "But it would mean more, and be better, if you
asked them yourself." I said "I agree. Best use of resources. I'm
sending multiple simultaneous projections. Audio first." I said
"Greetings. I am Stephen. I noticed you felt me arrive on your planet.
If you have an interest in continuing this conversation, please say so.
If you don't, I will stop this transmission." One not in government
asked me to stop. The others asked to continue. I asked if I could use
an image of me they could see, and they agreed. I told those how many I
was doing that with at the same time, and they were surprised. I said
"I ported in for the class. Would you like to join us?" Some had some
questions, but in the end, they all wanted to come, even if they had to
cancel plans for the evening. I offered to port them, and they
accepted. It was crowded. I said "Introductions first, and then
something really different." We did that, and there were some surprises
over who was an Adept. And some women Adepts, finally.
I said "San! Your house is too small. Think it should be bigger?" He
grinned, and said, "Absolutely! Er, how?" I said "Well, if you want it
to be noticed, and give the inspectors headaches, I could raise the
roof and put a new floor in. Or I could reroute some wires and pipes,
and give you a gigantic room under the ground. That's what I did for my
gym and pool in Tibet, while my guests were sleeping. Well, I think
they were sleeping. I didn't look. But they were very friendly with
each other." Some laughter. San said "We could try the underground,
first." I said "If your visitors agree to keep it secret, so people
won't be tempted to smash things to unsuccessfully understand how they
work, I could make it VERY nice." He said "PLEASE!" I said "Why am I
not surprised?" Some laughter. I said "So, how many floors?" He said
"How many can you put in?" I said "You would NOT want to walk that far.
He said "Four. The classroom first. Conveniences next, then the gym,
educational purposes. All you new people just witnessed me have to
correct myself. I can't lie. Yes, that's true. Big handicap in
politics." Laughter. I said "But it makes you much more trusted, which
is a very valuable thing. Where should the entrance to below, be?" He
showed me, and I made it. I said "All done. Let's go see." Hawk said,
"If we charged by the wow, they would be really poor." Some chuckles.
We went down to the first subfloor. Hawk said "Hey Stephen! Some of
this is NEW!" Rose said "It all is. He just made it." Hawk laughed, and
said, "But he never put windows in a basement before." I said "Not real
windows, but they do replicate the views from the floor above. Makes
the place feel more comfortable, and you can see who's coming, if you
want to. My own chairs here. They conform to your shape. No matter how
hard you laugh, you can't fall out of them. Severely tested." Some
laughter. I said "Not yet, you haven't sat in them." More laughter. I
said with false sadness, "So little respect. Oh, and there's the
proof." They were laughing. I said "The next level down has a kitchen,
bathrooms, dining room, store rooms, and a psionic insulated room." We
went there. They loved the kitchen. And the food makers. I said "A
teacher with hungry students doesn't have time to cook, and hungry
students don't learn very well. No, they won't serve intoxicants. None
of my things do, and they would turn off your psionics, anyway." One
new visitor said "That I know very well. Sometimes I need to do that."
I said "After a while in study here, you won't need to do that. You
will have FULL control of all you do, all your psionics does." He said
"Oh! I'm in!" Some others agreed with him. I said "Next level is the
gym. I workout for at least two hours a day. When I get up, usually."
We went down, and I demonstrated some things with Rose and Hawk, and
they were all astounded. I gave the standard talk about it being
necessary for advancement, and why. Then the pool room, and they
thought it was beautiful. I showed them all the features.
San asked, "What is this soft area for?" Rose, Hawk, and I grinned.
He said "Oh. That love thing." Hawk said "We've even convinced some
people who don't like the water, to try it. It's heated, and the blue
light dries fur instantly. And when we use the pool rooms, well, it's
not just the water that's heated." I said "Should we tell them?" Hawk
laughed. San said "Please!" I said to Hawk, "Not that. It's personal.
The link." He laughed. Rose said "We have a technique where we don't
just share feelings, but sensory impressions, too, and it can multiply
to very intense levels which can actually improve one's psionics some
times." I said like I was tired, "Our training is SO exhausting!" They
laughed. I said "Our schools have these facilities, either right there,
or seconds away. So, let's go up and settle down for a little
conference for the new people." We went, and San did the basic
discussion. After that, I said, "You should split the classes. Those
less advanced shouldn't be distracted and temped by those more
advanced. I see you want to know why. How about death? Yes. Try
something before you're ready, and you could kill yourself, and, maybe
even others. I've seen that happen, and have had some close calls,
myself. If you don't think much of that, think about how your teachers
would feel, if you hurt yourself. We DO love you." And I shared that
with all. There were some tears.
I said "We have NEVER had a psionics student want to stop learning."
The Leader, said, "In all your schools?" I said "Yes. More, no matter
how much they learn, we learn, I learn, we all consider ourselves
students. Some taller than others, though." Some chuckles. He said "How
do you determine who is the leader?" I said "When you become more
advanced, you will know that question doesn't really apply to us. We
each do what we do best for the situation, in concert with the others.
Usually, the one with the highest intelligence, the most advanced
skills, the most experience and wisdom, leads when there is need of a
leader, because that person does that better, and all know that. Some
of us have an ability which, when trained, can aid very much in leading
in emergency situations." Hawk nodded, and said, "The Situation
Manager. These two. They think through situations even while they're
happening, and make bad things ten times better than if they had never
happened, and to far into the future. We can figure out how they do it
and why, sometimes, after it's all over, but not before. Fun to watch,
though." Rose said "Stephen got the first fleet to stop and go back,
that way." The Leader said "The news conference after the love and
healing broadcast. I didn't know what he was going to say. He boxed me
in pretty well." They nodded at that. I said "I took over my group when
I was twelve years old. I didn't try to, and they didn't let me. It was
just natural for us, because I was the most advanced of us." Hawk said
"And the cutest." They laughed.
Rose said "You know now I've been rescuing your Adept potential
children. They've been in our schools. The least of them, is more
advanced and more powerful than many of you will ever be, coming so
late to full training." One said "Why is that?" Hawk said "Control.
Skill and ability isn't enough. Control is all important. The finer
your control, the more and better you can do with what you have. I can
split my mind into multiple independent compartments, each with almost
my full intelligence, that are programable like a computer. I can
manage my memories, and move them around. My equipment I'm wearing is
controlled directly by my mind. Not by code words, but solely by will.
This ring; see the red light? It can emit a laser that can cur through
4cm of steel. No, it's not a weapon. Stephen invented these things for
mining and exploration. He sculpts gems. This ring emits
tractor/pressor rays. My belt is an environmental control system, which
has a personal shield, and can do more along that line. I can wear them
in my sleep, and they will not activate accidentally. Could YOU control
yourself that well now?" They said they couldn't. One said "Does that
involve teleporting, too?" I said "Sure does! A young student dreamed
almost breaking something." Laughter. I said "I was sleeping, but one
partition was on watch, and felt him port to my pool by accident, while
sleeping. I went there and we had a talk. Well, what if he had been
dreaming about space?" Some wows. I said "Right. Don't jump ahead, and
don't think less of control. You adult students probably will never be
as good as the students who started as children, but that doesn't mean
you can't be VERY good. Great, even. Much more than you are now,
definitely."
I said "So, back to where I was going. With who we are, and that
includes you, as you will find out, means the best of us leads, no
matter the age or degree of cuteness [chuckles], because who wouldn't
want the best outcome of what we do? Comments?" The Leader said, "They
wouldn't order us around?" I grinned, and said, "Would it work?" He
said "Probably not." I said "Then somebody who was fit to lead,
wouldn't do that. Yes, there is a BIG difference between commanding and
leading." They thought for a while. I said to the Leader, "You are
San's leader in the government, but functionally, who of you leads
here?" He said "Yes, I see. He is the best. We can SEE that, so there
was never a question of that. I didn't even think of it. Wow!" Rose
said "You've discovered something else. Have any of you ever argued
with each other while you were here?" Some surprise. I said "You will
understand more of that in time. I'll tell you one thing now. You know
love. You never have to be alone, ever again." Some actually cried.
They were hugged. I said "Your children in our schools know this very
well. They almost never sleep alone. I didn't. Why should we, when we
don't have to?"
I said "When your children come home, you will love them. And they
are VERY worthy of that. I think it would be best that there be two
separate classes here for a while, meeting on different days. San, your
replacement ready?" He said "Yes, and he's very good. I'm glad, too,
and very happy to leave the government. I was sick of it. That was
work. THIS is a reason to LIVE!" They were all impressed with him. I
gave him a bow. Rose said "Let's split up and do some work. New people
upstairs." One said to me, "You aren't going to be teaching?" I said
overwhelms people, and they become too distracted by who he is." Hawk
said "And he's modest and too easily embarrassed." I shook my head in
sadness, and they laughed. I glowed and wrapped them all with my love,
and then bowed, and ported to the twins and Minster, and my kids. We
all hugged, and he said, "You prepared the way for us. Well done, and
thank you!" I said "That's me, Stephen the preparer." They laughed.
We were natural for better hugging, and we did that, sometimes
switching places for fairness, and watched the classed. We were in a
sea of love, and it was better than great.
