Solomon's Private File #179
These stories about Stephen and Solomon take place starting in
1950's. Stephen wrote about his life in letters to a penpal, and then
in a secure blog, in case he lost his memory again, in the master
computer in his school for gifted students, which he started attending
in 2016 in a new incarnation, until his death. Now his son Solomon is
attending the same school, and is writing in his own secure blog for
his future incarnations.
All characters are fictitious, even if some of them might have names
that belong to some actual people, or act like people we know.
Solomon is 22 in this story, in the Fall of 2048.

I said to my interviewee in my office at the Bureau, "Please wait a
moment or two. I'll be back." I went out to reception in time to see a
man stumbling out the door of one of our offices. Jen came out of
another one. The man tried to push between us, but Jen caught him in a
hammerlock. He tried to kick back with his heal. She took him to the
floor, with a twist lock on that arm. I said to him, conversationally,
"If you try to get out of that, you'll break your arm. That's alright,
you have another one available for breaking." Samantha came out and
said, "Good work, Jen." I said to her, "You let him out? She said, "I
knew Jen would want to play." Jen said, "Oh. Thanks." I said, "Doesn't
seem to be much to him." Sam said, "We don't get to choose who wants to
get rough. Shame, though." Jen said to me, "You had that angry Kung Fu
Master. Not fair!" I said, "I'm the boss. Got perks." Two guards came
in, and one special agent. My big guard friend grinned at me. I said to
him, "I'm just here as an audience member. Meet our new tag team."
Chuckles. I said, "He tried to get rough with one of us, who was more
than he could handle. Another of us helped him to decide not to escape
his just reward." I gave the agent a memory card of the action. All the
staff and clients were staring at us. I said, "Maybe the next to get
physical will be more interesting." Grins all around.
One of the clients said, "Even shrinks here can fight!" I said, "You
call that a fight?" Chuckles. I said, "If it were a real fight, he'd
have been down and out in an instant. But that's not what what the FBI
does. He was subdued without physical harm, prior to arrest. A little
boring, though. Well, we can't have everything." More chuckles. We went
back into our offices. I had to motion to my client to go ahead of me,
so I could get in. We sat, and he said, "Wow! They don't look tough." I
said, "And we like that. Don't need to intimidate people. We're alone
with people off the street. All my shrinks are black belts. I don't
intend to lose any." He was impressed. We finished the evaluation and
he was approved.
George said to me in contact, "We've found a shielded world,
something like what your plant does, but including invisibility. Normal
survey showed anomalies. We figure you have finer perceptions. We don't
want to blunder in." I said, "Good call. Interesting. Wow! Er, I'll
take care of it. Oh my, do you look funny." He laughed, and said, "I
get it. Over our heads." I said, "Actually, I'm not sure. Time diving
shows the shield came before what would be in it. You can't get in. I
managed to sneak a probe in, but it was blocked. I could force it, but
you know I won't. I think we should just ignore it for now." He said,
"Not much choice. Going to try them after your next upgrade?" I said,
"Shhhh!" He laughed.
I shifted part of me to the planet inside the shield. It had an
Earth-like environment. There was a small spread out park village. The
people were a lot like humans, but taller and with bigger heads and
brains. They knew I was there, and greeted me with a whole lot of love.
I was invited into one of the buildings, clean and white, looking
something like a hospital, to an office where a man and a woman were. I
was greeted and invited to sit. We talked without spoken words. I said,
"Finally, I meet the Originators. I thought you had left the galaxy."
He said, "We are one kind of what you know as Originators. We had left,
but some of us returned to monitor you." I said, "The stones didn't
know this when I met with the big one." She said, "That is true. This
is a new installation. Your activity with them caught our attention." I
said with a grin, "I'm not surprised." They grinned back. He said, "I
sense your disappointment that we are not in advance of you." I said,
"I like to learn, but I'll live with it. I see you're in some way the
ancestors of us of Earth." She said, "We are for many, but more so for
Earth, because we seeded it first with our kind of environment and DNA,
in this cycle of our activities, and used that to seed other planets."
I said with a smile, "Which if they knew, would be horrified." He said,
"If they knew of all of your world, yes, but with who they know in
person, you know they would be proud to be of you." I said, "Er, you're
not above embarrassing people?" She grinned and said, "We are not." I
sighed.
I said, "You have very long lifespans. Natural?" He said, "We do, and
it is natural for us now. How did you know?" I said, "I have not
directly examined your minds or bodies, but I know all else that is on
this world." She said, "Would that include where we came from before we
were on this planet?" I said, "You, er, missed a spot." They chuckled.
I showed them where. I said, "You knew I was more advanced. You should
have known you couldn't hide things from me perfectly." He said, "We
didn't know how advanced you were, until we enticed you here." I said,
"I have been enticed before to a strange place. I know you didn't do it
here. You didn't expect me to be able to get through your shield." They
nodded, embarrassed. I said, "Did you know I can see the links between
you two, and see part of your meld in action?" She said, "We didn't." I
said, "Did you think you could multiply your minds to create one that
would be more than I am?" He said, "Yes. Could we have?" I said, "Not
even with all of you on this planet." They were very surprised. I said,
"But it would be interesting to watch." Smiles. I said, "Do you know
the main reason why I am here?" She said, "Curiosity?" I said, "That's
a very minor reason. I could have learned all I wanted from you,
without your knowledge. I came because you wanted me to. To please
you." They were surprised and humble.
I said, "Is there anything you would request help for?" He said,
"Your mind training?" I said, "I would have to examine your minds and
bodies to make that work for you." She said, "All of us here?" I said,
"That would be optimum, to determine variance. Are you representative
of your species?" He said, "We are." I said, "If I were to do this to
you two, with the rest, you would need to stop the meld." She said, "We
should trust you?" I said, "You are not nearly as advanced as you think
you are, if you have to ask that. How do you receive communications
from your er, Boss?" He said, "The Supreme Being sends us a
concentrated communication block. We work in melds to decipher it,
which can take many days." I said, "I can decipher them almost
instantly. Any here still in progress?" She said in surprise, "Two."
She told me who had them. I said to those two in their minds, "I am
Solomon. I offer to help you with those Boss packages. Do you accept?"
They discussed it with others, and then agreed to it. I said, "Done."
They were very surprised, and told everybody.
I said to my pair, "I am able to hold conversations with Him. Yes, He
can speak to me in words. Embarrassing words, actually, when he speaks
to others who are in the link with me." Their smiles flickered on and
off with their awe. I said, "Are you able to receive packages here
behind your shields?" He said, "We are not." I said, "That's not good
for you to be so out of touch. What were you going to do about that?"
She said, "One of us would travel to where it could happen." I said,
"But you wouldn't know when that should be. Hmm, are you here for
purely personal reasons?" They looked embarrassed. I said, "I like new
friends, and really so for you, but I have to disapprove of this, for
your separation from the Boss." They were surprised, and I said that. I
said, "You are thinking, 'Who is he, to say that to US?' Well, you'll
find out." They expressed more embarrassment. I said, "No, I didn't
read your mind. I am to you, what you are to the average baby on Earth.
I don't need to read your mind to know it."
I said to their stunned mind, "I am going to ask God about this. Do
you want to be a part of that?" After a delay, he said, "Yes please.
Will you include all of us here?" I said, "If they accept it, yes. I
see you doubt that I can. Well, I won't know until I try. I don't fail
very often." They expressed agreement with that. I sent my love out,
and they all accepted it. Then I managed my call to God to bypass the
reality of the shield, and He joined us and gave us His love. He said,
"Well done, Solomon! They did not believe. You speak for me, my Senior
Prophet of all time. They should not be where they were told not to be.
They will return. You may give them what knowledge you deem wise, and
you may know all they know, which is what you had planned." I said,
"Aww, you caught me!" He laughed. I said, "Just to be sure they don't
think I'm faking you, give them some big heavy packages they will know
had to come from you?" He said with humor, "I will." He left, and I
stopped the broadcast.
They were all absolutely stunned. They each had a new package in
their minds. And that meld in front of me was broken. After a while,
describing the relationship now, is I'm like a younger brother to Him."
They were in awe. I said, "My proposal for what you want?" She said,
"We agree to the examination." I said, "Done. I can't help you with our
mind training. Your minds are too well trained in different ways for it
to be learned. Your children could be taught, but it would make them
different from you. I don't know how much, but that could cause them to
not fit into your society properly." He said, "We would have to
carefully consider that. How may we contact you?" I said with a smile,
"A personal visit is not acceptable?" She said, "You to us, very
acceptable, but us to you, that is forbidden." I asked the big stone if
he would serve as a bridge, and he agreed, and told me which stone to
give them. I gave him my thanks, and we shared amusement over the whole
situation. He said as we closed our contact, "Like babies! Ha!"
I ported the stone to me, with a gold and platinum setting around it,
in the form of a plaque with my name in their language on it, and held
it out to her, and said, "Tell this stone, and I will know." She said,
"Even from not in this galaxy?" I said, "From anywhere in this
reality." He said, "Wow!" I said, "I hear that a lot." Awe and
chuckles. I said, "Now, would you like me to send you back?" She said,
"You can do that?" I didn't say anything. She said, "Oh, I apologize.
We would have to discuss that." I said, "How long would that take?" She
said, "A few minutes. Would you transport our facilities?" I said, "All
you wish, to anywhere you wish. What you leave behind will be disposed
of. This world will have nothing of you then. The people in this galaxy
should not know of you. Some of my people suspect, and I had to reveal
too much of me to them to cause them to not interfere." He said, "I
apologize for us. We were wrong." I said, "I understand the temptation
I posed for you. I think I might have done the same in your place. But
with a little more humor." They had an interesting mix of emotions,
which my slight smile encouraged.
They agreed to the transport, and gave me the list of which should go
where. When they were all ready, I sent them, and learned all they knew
in that galaxy, to add to what I had learned from them in this galaxy.
Then I ended my presence there, and the shield I had been maintaining
as I was sending them back. George immediately said in my mind,
shielded, "The shield around that planet is gone. I had a monitor on
it. No trace of what caused it. Sent them packing?" I said, "You aren't
supposed to know that." He laughed and said, "I can guess. Surprised,
weren't they?" I said, "Absolutely!" More laughter.
I visited my plant friend. She said, "I knew you would come! I
recognized that shield." I said, "Some Originators disobeyed orders and
came back to watch ME, like I was their only source of entertainment."
She said, embarrassed, "I appreciate their motivation." I said, "That
doesn't bother me. It's that they disobeyed orders, and forced me to
take action that revealed to my group what shouldn't have been. And
they had a little ego problem." She said with humor, "They couldn't
believe how much more advanced you are?" I said, "Difficult for them.
But when God told them off, they were REALLY surprised." She laughed
her way, all branches shaking. I said, "Oh, that was a big one." More
of the same. We shared a lot of love.
I said to my stone, "Comments?" He laughed. I said, "Well, that was
one. I never expected such as them to do that." He said, "A surprise to
us all." I said, "So they don't know you are the local boss of them."
He said, "You left them their pride in not telling them that. That was
very nice of you." I said, "How much do you influence my group?" He
said, "Very little. We have no desire or need to, and you have very
strong wills." I said, "I noticed that, in comparison to them. Been
servants too long?" He said, "That could be the reason. More your field
than ours." I said, "They fit their roles. We wouldn't." He said with
humor, "I DO agree with that!" I said, "The deal with the stoned beds.
You could have influenced us a lot." He said, "If we had been
instructed to, we would have had some personal resistance to that. We
love who you are, and would not want to change that. And one other
thing." I said, "Fascinated curiosity. We are liable to do practically
anything, and with creativity, especially if we can include sex in it."
He said, laughing, "So very true, all of it."
I said, "Do you share us with others of your kind?" He said, "Would
you disagree to that?" I said, "If they like it, absolutely not!" He
said with love, "We didn't know. Thank you! We have been requested to
do that, and have, after you learned time diver protection, and
improved our understanding of that. They wanted to experience more of
you and your group." I said, "You must have been sorely lacking in
entertainment." He said with embarrassment, "That was so." I laughed
and said, "I'm glad to have helped. Some of me you are not able to
understand now." He said, "True, but with awe and pride that you are
our friend. We have learned much from you and your group, and I do not
mean just science. How to be good people." I said, "Isn't it more, how
to experience life with humor, compassion, and love?" He said, "Yes,
you would know that." I said, "You have the ability to initiate
conversations. Don't be a stranger." We shared love.
I examined all the stone people on Allguard, in the Hall of Stones,
and found some that were damaged. They agreed to let me heal them. I
did, without assistance. I said to my stone, "Please pass the word that
I will heal any of your people who are in need of it." He said with a
burst of intense love, "I will! You did that without help. Does this
mean that you understand us completely?" I said, "How much do you want
to know of that?" He said, "Oh! I must think on that." I said, "I know
the feeling!" We shared humor and love.
Mom said, "All our stones reacted to something. Reports are they
won't talk about it. Got info?" I said, "I did a God contact to heal
one of them. Sort of tickled all the others a little. Byproduct result
is positive. They like and appreciate us more." She grinned and said,
"Thanks." I could feel my stone grinning.
