Solomon's Private File #204
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 24 in this story, in the Fall of 2050.

China was the first country to ask for my school gun and bomb
protection, but with something added. I shifted to the meet with the
President. I said, "You know, others could have done this, much below
your position." He grinned and said, "I'm selfish." I sighed, and he
tried not to laugh. I said, "What you want can't be included, or the
cooks would have problems." He said, "Oh! I understand." I said, "But
already built in is an automatic alert when a knife is brought into a
school. One of us will look at the circumstance then, and take any
appropriate action if necessary. Also alerts us on bombs and guns.
Criminal could be waiting outside to harm the children as they leave."
He said, "I should have known. You don't want people to know this?" I
said, "Preventing a crime, doesn't stop people from wanting to do it,
who may then do something different, but worse. If they know they can't
crime, but the people who want to do anything like it."
I said, "Yes. Do you remember the sex abuse case where I put graphic
images on the TV for?" He said, "I do. VERY effective!" I said, "Much
more than the public knows. We had a detector web set up all over the
world. It triggered on anybody who enjoyed looking at it." He said,
"Wow! What did you do about them?" I said, "We did time research on
them, and any who had done anything like that, we helped to prosecute."
He said, "I don't know what to say. What you did was so good and
important for the whole world, and nobody knows!" I smiled and said,
"Calling yourself a nobody?" He said, "I'm serious!" I said, "You know
we can't make that public. A case could be made that we invaded
people's privacy, and we want to be able to do similar things in the
future that might not work if they were warned." He said, "I have to
agree, but I don't like it." I said, "Such is the world." We hugged
with love.
My counseled Republican Senator asked for my politician approval, and
I did approve him, and made that public just as Dad had done. Then some
other Republicans and Democrats of both houses asked for the same. Most
were approved. Surprising to some, most of the Independents were not
approved. I was asked about that, and said, "Ideals are good. Taken to
reckless extreme, is not good. Going so far as to appear insane, in
denying reality, is VERY not good." That stopped most of the questions.
My friend did win his primary, and the election. Some of my approved
didn't win. I was asked what I thought about that. I said, "I have no
opinion on the fact that some political candidates I approved didn't
win their elections. I don't do approvals for that, but for the person.
The voters have many other factors to consider in making their choices,
and that should be respected. And so should their decisions as
reflected in their votes." Some expressed surprise at that, but most
liked what I said, even praised it.
Fox ran a show discussing me. There were a lot of comments on my
increasing degree of maturity and wisdom. I made an image in the air in
the studio and gave them a loud bronx cheer. They laughed. I said, "I
haven't changed much in my personality since I created it. The
difference you see is caused by how I need to be in the different and
more complex tasks that I've been involved in, causing more of me to be
visible than was when I was a child. Much of the work I do now could
not have been accepted from a child, as people could just not see a
child that way, just as some of the statements I made then, would not
be accepted well at all, from an adult, such as my er, herd comments to
Senators at the museum." Chuckles. I said, "I was enlightened before I
was twelve, but I resisted it because it would have made people
uncomfortable seeing how I would have been then, and they wouldn't have
known why they felt that way."
One said, "You created your personality?" I said, "I was thrust into
the leadership of my group as soon as I entered our school at age ten,
being so much better than the others. I didn't want that. I wasn't that
kind of person. I disliked how such a person would have to be. I knew I
had to, so I deliberately made myself so, step by step." He said, "A
sacrifice?" I said, "It's very much a sacrifice, to deny who you are,
and deliberately change yourself into who you dislike. But not
completely. I'm still at heart a research psychologist. I have to admit
I failed to completely suppress my odd humor, and that does NOT make me
sad." Chuckles. I said, "When I as twelve, and had multiple doctorates,
I received the life memories of more than a thousand people, my past
lives, many of whom lived well into advanced old age. Full total recall
memories. How much of a child COULD I be after that?" They said, "Oh!"
I said, "Not even my mother understood that, and I helped her to not
see it. I was the child she wanted me to be for her, because I loved
her. I still do, but now I can be more of who I am. In honesty, I have
to say that there is no one who can understand all who I am, and never
will be, but God, and he isn't likely to teach a course in it." Awe and
chuckles.
I said, "I don't lead as much as I used to. They know I don't like
to. Strangely, I still lead in absentia. Sometimes they say they just
do what they think I would do, and not surprisingly for super geniuses
who have watched me in my mind for years, they get it right. I haven't
yet decided how I want to feel about that." Good chuckles. I said, "One
more thing, and you can bet they're listening VERY closely." More
chuckles. I said, "Some of what I do now, none of my people know about,
working on direct orders from my er, Boss, in far away galaxies and
dimensions, some of which none of my people can reach. I think even
they don't realize the full implications of the title God insists on
embarrassing me with. Oh! Well, now they do." More awe and chuckles.
One said, "So you are able to do less work here?" I said, "That won't
change my work here on Earth in any way. But how much of that work that
isn't captured in video, is actually mine? I set up processes and
tasks, and would do them myself, but then others offer to take them
over from me. How could I refuse to give them what will help their
personal advancement? But that's not why they ask to help. It's for
their love of me, to relieve me of things that hurt." They had some
tears. I said, "I've taken too much of your time. Oh, this isn't CNN?"
Laughter. I gave them my love and said, "Farewell." They had some good
comments after that.
At home, Mom said, "So you finally said it. Will they realize what it
means?" I said, "The public, or our group?" She said, "A difference?" I
said, "In degree, yes." Galya said, "You're His right hand man." I
said, "He doesn't actually have hands." Pokes and chuckles.
My stone said to me, "The one of us you asked if you made a king,
would like to speak with you." I said, "Oh, should I dress formally, to
match that tone?" He couldn't conceal all of his humor at that. He
said, "I tried. He's there." We went there. King said to me, "On behalf
of all of us, I want to apologize for interfering in your action
regarding the Originators and the warped space. We were wrong in
thinking we could do it better, and wrong in not fully accepting your
God appointed leadership, and wrong in not obeying our own pledge to
you to follow your lead." I said, "Fine. Accepted. What's next?" My
stone said to him, "I told you!" He said, "I still don't understand." I
said, "I'll explain it. We aren't your usual biological emotional
people. We in my group do have emotion, but we're ruled by logic and
reason. From my point of view, you learned something useful, and we all
will benefit from it. So, case closed. We move on. Speaking about that,
why here in particular?"
He said, "I don't think I'll ever get used to that." I said, "I hear
that a lot. So did my father. Think of it this way. You think much
faster than the regular people of my species do. I think so much faster
than you do, I can't even help you to understand how much. If I kept a
feeling going as long as you would, I would actually be damaged,
experiencing it like years to your seconds." He said, "I think I almost
understand that. You are more like God than I thought possible." I
said, "I have to agree with you. I think the same thing sometimes, when
I want to try to resolve what should be impossible." Awe and virtual
grins. He said, "Does God communicate with you in a way your bonded
can't perceive?" I said, "Er, can I refuse to answer?" Humor. I said,
"Oh, alright. Yes. initiated in either direction." My stone said, "I
can verify some of that. I don't see the insides of God packages unless
he lets me." King said to me, "Have you done a mission for God that we
don't know about?" I said, "I can answer that, but I think it would be
more interesting if I didn't. Don't even try to growl. You can't!"
Frustration and humor.
He said, "We are here because we would request your help in
understanding this space. Speed here is variable in unpredictable
ways." I said, "There is no intelligent life here but us." He said,
"How can you know that?" I said, "All I can say is that I looked. Well,
and to say that I didn't know I could do that." Awe and humor. I said,
"You know there are different kinds of spaces. Those where the physical
laws are the same as others, or different, or so different that they
are incompatible with things from other spaces. That last category is
what enables my people's teleporting; an extra spacial dimension. This
space is something of a combination of all of those kinds of spaces.
You are able to be here because of your increased perceptions and
abilities. No others of your kind can exist here without my help. If
you had eyes, they would be staring at me."
My stone said, "If I had traveled here to meet with him myself, what
would have happened?" I said, "You would have ceased to exist. Yes,
there is a risk to exploring, even for such as you." The king said,
"There is no need for us to be here?" I said, "Correct, and I'm not
able to help you to understand more of this. Hmm, have you actually
tried to leave this space?" He said, "I just tried and failed, and I'm
not able to communicate usefully with your gift." I said, "If it hadn't
been for your ability to communicate with others through your own
don't know if when I would have been asked to find you, that I could
have located you here in a reasonable amount of time, if at all. But it
didn't happen like that, so where would you like to be now?" He said,
"The space of your big gift." And then we were there. He was very
relieved.
I said, "Personal curiosity is prompting me to ask you a question.
You are not obligated to answer. The Originators who assisted the Van
in my dimension and galaxy. They left. Do you know where they are now?"
He said, "I do, but they are not now the same people. What they did
caused them damage. They have been healed, but the memories of their
work with the Van have been removed. They are there." I looked. I said,
"Nice people. A little short, though. Oh, right, big to you." Humor.
I said to Mom, "There is a pirate problem off Somalia. Do you want to
handle it, or shall I?" She looked so indecisive, I had to laugh. She
said, "How can you do this to me!" Then she had to chuckle. I said,
"You want to see me in action that much?" She said, "Absolutely!" I
said, "I have to tell you, we all feel that way about you, too." She
looked really odd, so I grinned to it. I said, "How about a compromise?
We do it together. You take the front, and I provide the mostly silent
smile." She said, "Their poor ping-ponged necks!" We both said, "Let's
do it!"
We ported to the deck of the ship being captured, just as the pirates
were coming aboard. The Captain started grinning. I put my finger to my
lips and looked serious, and he straightened out his face. I nodded
with a smile. He looked odd, but got the message that he should play
along. I moved back, and postured myself to look casual. A pirate's
head showed above the rail, and he noticed Mom. He recognized her right
away, and tried to climb down, but stepped on the hand of the man below
him, who yelled. Mom reached down and lifted up the man like he weighed
almost nothing, and stood him on the deck, saying, "Here, let me help
you. So, who are you?" He just stared at her. Then the next man showed
his head. She turned to him and did the same. The first man tried to
run away, but Mom said, "It's not polite to turn your back on a lady."
She turned him around with an invisible 4th hand and held him there.
Then the third man came up, and a fourth.
While they were looking back and forth between me and Mom, she said
to them, "Well, who are you?" Nervous silence. I said, "Maybe they're
not smart enough to speak." She turned and said to me, "Think so?" They
tried to run, but kept banging into invisible walls and each other. I
said, "Well, they sure are active. Can rule out being too tired." She
said, "Seems so. Hey you, is Sol right? Are you too stupid to know how
to talk?" One said, "We can talk, but we won't to a she-devil!" Mom
said, "Oh, that's good. I'm not any kind of a devil, so you can talk to
me." He said, "But you are!" She said, pleasantly, "There, you just
proved I'm not. You talked to me." He was smart enough to understand
what he did, and was very annoyed. The Captain choked back his
laughter. One of the pirates did the same. She said, "Please talk some
more." Silence.
I said, "Maybe his tongue is stuck. Think I should give it a pull,
and see how far I can make it stretch?" Mom said, "Couldn't hurt to
try. Well, not me." He said, "NO! Don't do that!" I said, "Oh! Not
stuck now, but the loudness isn't set quite right." I said to him,
"Please be polite to my mother." She said to me, "Do you really mean
that?" I said, "Only a little, because I think he won't. Would make it
more interesting." She said, "I have to agree, it would." She said to
the pirate leader, "Are you going to be polite to me, or are we going
to make this little meeting more interesting?" He said, "I will be
polite, Lady Rose." She turned to me, and said, "Disappointed?" I said,
"I have to admit it, a little, yes." She nodded and said, "There is
still hope."
She turned to the pirate, "What were you intending to do here?" He
said, "We were just going to have a friendly visit." I said with a
smile, "Lying is very impolite. Do it again?" One of the pirates, the
youngest, fell down and laughed hard. I went over and helped him up,
and said, "Come stand with me." He did, eyes very wide. Mom said to the
leader, "So?" He said, "We were going to ask for money." She said, "And
what were you selling?" He had a crafty look, and said, "Protection."
She said, "Protection from whom?" He said, "From er, us." She said, "Do
you think those on this ship need that now?" He said, "I see they do
not, so we should be leaving." Mom said, "Just out of curiosity, how
could you have done anything that this ship would need protection
from?" He said, "Missile launchers." She looked over the rail said, "I
don't see any on your boat." He went and looked, and said, "They were
there! Oh, er, we didn't have any, so there was no harm." I said, "Hmm,
remember about the polite thing?" He looked afraid, and said, "We had
them, but they are now gone." Mom said, "True. I recommend that you
don't try to touch any weapon ever again. You might not like what would
happen if you did." He said, in horrified fascination, "What would
happen?" She said, "What weapon you touch, even through cloth, will
never leave your hand until you learn to live a peaceful and helpful
life. This applies to all of your crew who have ever harmed another
unjustly." My tense young pirate companion suddenly relaxed. I gave him
a slight nod, and he looked grateful.
I said to Mom, "That could be a problem. They still have some weapons
on their ship. What if they touch some by accident while having wild
sex with each other?" My pirate and the Captain laughed loudly. Mom
almost couldn't hold that in. She said to me, "That could be a problem.
Make their manhood not work?" The pirate leader said, "Please don't do
that! I politely request that you remove all the weapons on our ship!"
I said, "Such energy! They must really love each other." Mom said, "I
noticed." She said to him, "In politeness, I can't refuse such a
request, done for love. All your weapons are gone. You and we have had
a pleasant visit after all. Please be well." He looked back at me, and
then to Mom, and she nodded. They started to leave.
My pirate said, "I can't be with them now. Can I stay here?" I looked
ported an AK-47 to my hand, and said, "My mother's consequence settings
are in place." I gave the pirate the weapon, and he touched it without
fear, and then gave it back to me. He said, "They forced me to join
them." I looked at the Captain, and said, "Standard wages for beginning
seaman. Hard work but fair. Loyal, and you will have a future with us."
He said, "I swear!" I nodded to the Captain. They both knew what I
meant. I said, "Here is what documentation he has. I should tell you
that this little event was broadcast live on TV. Well, American TV.
Only people who couldn't sleep would have seen it." Grins. Mom said to
me, "When you said the wild sex part, I don't know how I kept from
laughing." I said, "But you took that and went with it, brilliantly.
You made him be polite about which he very much didn't want to be. Such
a lesson in self control, very few ever have. He should thank you, but
he might not see it that way now." The others laughed again. Mom and I
bowed to each other and hugged. Then we offered to hug the two with us,
and the rest of the crew that were arriving after hiding. We did, and
then we ported to the studio at CNN.
Brandy was there for breaking news, and said to us on air, "That was
totally unexpected." Mom said, "It was to us as well. Sol told me about
the impending piracy, and asked me which of us should handle it. We
both wanted to watch the other in action so much, we couldn't decide,
so we agreed to do it together. It worked out well, I think." Brandy
said, "Oh, it did! Will you be doing something like this again?" I
said, "Maybe. Probably not in that area for a while." She laughed. We
hugged her, and ported home. Hawk's image was all grins. I said,
"Please apologize to Gal for us, for causing you to wake him up in the
middle of the night." He said, "He says it was worth it." He laughed
some more, and winked out. Not before sharing love with all of us.
