Solomon's Private File #377
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 32 in this story, in the Fall of 2058.
Solomon's Private File #377 "About Monster Mash"
START Page
Wendy introduced us on the CNN show. They were Mom, Galya, and me.
She said, "Our guests are here today to show and discuss an action
Solomon was involved in." I said, "All of us were involved in it, in
some way. That's why we're here. There were more of us involved, but
they wouldn't all fit in here." She said, "Oh, a group action." I said,
"Very much so. We couldn't have done it any other way, and succeeded."
Mom said, "That includes their survival. We first discovered the
problem in 2040. The Nagindra Empire asked us to help them with a
strange craft that had crashed on one of their planets. One of the
survivors of that had told them some strange things before he died. His
people were being attacked by invaders with powerful psionics. We
couldn't discover anything more than that." They looked at me. I looked
behind me, and Wendy chuckled.
I said, "This was before I could do time research. I scanned that
whole solar system, and discovered the cloaked starship that the people
of the crashed shuttle had come from. With that, we learned of their
home planet." Mom said, "He warned us off in a hurry." I said, "The
invaders were powerful psis, and would detect any noticeable intrusion.
If we had used more advanced techniques to examine them, they could
have learned them from us, which we REALLY didn't want to happen."
Galya said, "That's the biggest problem in fighting Adepts. You use
something they don't know against them, they could learn that, and use
it against you." I said, "And they were superb telepaths, and had a
more powerful mind force than we did, which I had been teaching to my
personal students for the past two years." Mom said, "We don't view
that as a coincidence, that he was teaching things Stephen hadn't known
about, that were needed specifically for this action." Wendy said,
"Wow! I see that. Would they have invades us?" I said, "Eventually,
yes. Nobody could have stopped them, not even us in a good way, when we
discovered them."
I said, "There was more to them, and the problem. They took over the
minds of some of those they conquered, and changed their brains to make
them mental slaves, in a kind of hive existence." I said to Mom, "We
didn't fully tell you why they did it." She said, dangerously, "What
was it?" I said, "They could tap the former intelligence of their
slaves, and what psionics they had. Only I knew that, until I shared it
with my team after we took their memories. They COULD do that, but not
well, and mostly didn't think they needed to. You'll see why it wasn't
important in the action, except to make you worry too much." We went to
tried not to laugh.
Back from break, I said, "I was our leader then, being the most
powerful, and the rest. Even one of the invaders was more than we could
handle, without showing them too much. But we were improving
dramatically, with the new things I was teaching my personal students."
Mom said, "They were, and we watched that in amazement." I said, "The
invaders weren't moving for a while, so we could wait until we became
strong enough to fight them. Our people wanted to know what I was
planning." Galya said, "All he would tell us was he was going to look
said, "Very frustrated!" Galya said, "We, his students, just grinned a
lot." So did we, then.
I said, "We had to wait for more students I could train." Wendy said,
"You couldn't train the adults?" I said, "The adults hadn't grown up
knowing about psionics from birth. It was relatively hard for them to
accept the existence of it, when they went to the school. Not so my
generation. We grew up knowing about it like it was normal. That caused
neural connections in the brain to form that were more in favor of the
use of psionics than those of the past generations, from that exposure.
That enabled those of my generation to learn to use their psionics
faster and better, including the new things I had introduced." Mom
said, "And Sol was a better teacher than we have ever had." Galya said,
"Part of that was he knew what he had developed better than anybody
had, and the other things, too, more than Stephen had." I said, "My
advantage in part came from his work, that I could start from." Mom
said, "This made Sol our real leader, and his personal students better
than any of the rest of us. So now you know why we followed his lead,
frustrating as his lack of announced plans were." Grins. We went to
break.
Back from break, I said, "When we had enough people to start training
for the action, we did that, practicing as different groups together,
so we could beat the invaders at their own game, using the abilities
they knew about, and our advanced ones where they couldn't detect them.
It wasn't easy!" Galya said, "It sure wasn't, and not just because we
didn't know about his plan." I showed us throwing boulders at each
other, with disguised faces. Wendy said, "Wow!" Galya said, "We said
that." Then I showed them all throwing them at me. Another wow. I said,
"By then they were expecting I would be doing some solo work in the
action. When I thought we were strong enough, I showed them part of the
plan. We needed to capture one of the invaders alive, but not in a way
the others would suspect it was done by an enemy. That would be VERY
difficult to do with strong telepaths. We practiced shielding a group
of us their way, so they couldn't detect our advanced higher powered
shields inside it. That was VERY difficult in coordination in the
group, and in technical issues. In action, one little fault in that,
could expose the whole thing, and create a disaster. Eh, we don't like
those." Grins.
I said, "There was another problem." I looked at Mom, and she said,
"Yes. Us. They were our CHILDREN! They were going on a mission that the
rest of us couldn't work. We desperately wanted to be there and protect
them, but the invaders would have detected us." I said, "Such strong
feelings, well, I couldn't take the chance they would interfere. I
figured out a kind of system that would do something like fry anybody
who tried to use their viewpoints to watch us. I warned them. They
didn't." Mom said, "You didn't tell us that part!" I said, "I did tell
you that in an action, the lives in it have priority over all others.
You should have expected I would make SURE it was that way." She
sighed, and said, "Yes. Total commitment to the job. I should have
expected that." I said to Wendy, "An action gone bad, with us, could
make it possibly millions of times worse. We just CAN'T leave a known
preventable risk in place." She said, "I understand. Wow!" I said,
"That, too." We went to break.
Back from break, I said, "When we were ready for the action, the
first team secretly ported to an insulated chamber under the water in
the harbor of the city the invaders were all meeting in. I was
monitoring remotely, VERY delicately, ready to take advantage of any
opportunity to aid our team and the mission. The team formed their
multiple shields, and the overall group disguise." Galya said, "I was
part of that team, and I tell you, that was WEIRD. It looked much
different from the outside, than the inside." I said, "Here they are
leaving the water." The monster climbed onto the dock, and rampaged
though the streets. The military tried all kinds of weapons, to no
great effect. I stopped the action, and said, "Yes, that was our team.
They were inside it. One was in the head, so he could see what was
happening through the mouth, and provide an aura for the invaders, who
weren't at the scene yet, to possibly detect." Wendy said, "Wow! You
made a monster! It sure looks real! Better than the movies." Galya
said, "Thanks. We worked hard coordinating our team members to make it
move and react realistically."
I said, "More than that. You gave it a personality!" She grinned, and
said, "We tried. Glad you liked it." I said, "We chose that date and
time, because it was a national holiday, and few people were there.
While they were concentrating on battling the monster, I was protecting
the people so they wouldn't notice, very carefully. Not one person died
in that. Finally, the invaders came to take on the monster. It doesn't
look like they did much, but it was all mental. They had good personal
shields, and powerful mind force. But we had practiced for that." I
showed it, with the back and forth flying pieces of the buildings. And
then the monster ate one of them. I stopped the action, and said, "THAT
was what we were there for. A snack." Chuckles. Wendy said, "They would
never suspect he was kidnapped!" Galya said, "That was the whole point
of the action." I started the playing of it again. During it, Wendy
said, "It looks playful!" I said, "Yes, great work. You'll know why,
later." The monster turned around, and went back into the water. I
said, "Then the team ported with the captured invader, to a shielded
room. During that part of the battle, something happened that I didn't
know would happen, but was ready to take advantage of if it did. The
invaders were so distracted, they didn't notice when I copied all their
memories into my mind." Wendy said, "So you didn't need to take that
one?" I said, "We didn't know I could do that, and there was another
reason to take him. Memories of a person aren't who they are in real
life, and how they will respond to things, and the choices they may
make."
Galya said, "In other words, Sol wanted to play with him." Chuckles.
We went to break. Back, I played the conference we had with Chonkine,
after saying, "He couldn't see or detect us. That's me speaking, until
I leave for the next part of the action." After I played that part,
Wendy said, "You turned him!" I said, "Yes. That was one of the goals;
to see it it were possible. You'll see the other goal later." We went
to break.
Back from break, I showed them me looking for my lost pet. It caused
continuous grins. Wendy said, "Wow! More than that! You tricked them
into asking you to remove their psionics!" Mom said, "When he showed us
that after the action, then we knew what he had meant a year before,
when he said he was going to look for his lost pet. We had absolutely
NO idea it would be Godzilla!" Chuckles. I said, "I didn't know if God
would be able to heal all those brain damaged slaves, but I hoped, and
he did, on 37 worlds." Mom said, "We didn't know it was possible for
him to do that kind of broadcast." I said, "Neither did I. So I did."
Chuckles. Wendy said, "You said before about an action that had a nap
in it, and that you were all smiles about. That is SO true! And you
planned this when you were only 14!" I said, "Age doesn't really apply
to us. I had already earned a whole lot of doctorates, and had over a
thousand past lives in my mind. That action worked because of
psychology, and the genius, hard work, and courage of my team. I
couldn't have done it without them." Galya and I hugged and kissed.
I showed them what then happened with Chonkine. I said, "He became
our introduction to his people. Some of their children became our
students. But what happened in that action didn't end there, and that
helped save thousands of lives on Earth. In my love and healing
broadcast then, God gave me the math and ability to predict
earthquakes. I don't know if I would have been able to receive that and
understand it, if I hadn't stretched my abilities to do the broadcast
to that many planets and people at the same time." Mom stared at me,
and said, "Oh! Interesting." Galya said, "Absolutely!" Wendy said, "I
was going to say that!" Chuckles. She said, "In what way was it a
stretch?" I said, "It was an unscheduled broadcast. There were millions
of people who were in dangerous situations, where they would be killed
or injured in that distraction. In only a few seconds, I had to prevent
all that, each thing in a separate individual process. And I was
repairing the damage to their cities at the same time." Mom stared at
me, and said, "I hadn't thought of that. In your father's first world
broadcast, even without healing, he said he had to prevent accidents,
and that was what killed him. He was sent back with the mission to free
Tibet. You were younger, and did that to 37 planets! You could have
killed yourself!"
I said, "True. But I had the time management ability, so I could
stretch my time. He didn't then, and couldn't do that, which caused him
to overextend himself." She said, "Oh. Well thought. But you didn't
know that would actually help you at the time." I said, "Eh, but I
hoped a lot." She sighed. Mom said, "I already told about the risks he
took in that action, in a previous show. I didn't know there were more
risks." Wendy said, "Is that going to be a problem between you two?"
Mom said, "No. He did what he should have. He always has, and always
will. Being his loving, very concerned, mother, is MY problem." She and
I hugged and kissed. Wendy closed the show.
Producer came in, and said, "You know we're going to replay that a
lot." Grins. I said, "One of the most popular actions at the school."
Galya said, "One of the most difficult parts of that for Sol, was not
being able to lie." He said, "Oh. Yes, I see. That WOULD be difficult
in these actions." I said, "Hmm, I did have one with a lot of wood in
thinking of, yes. I might share it someday. Complicated, though."
Producer was practically drooling. I said to him, "Not any real action
in it, just words, but serious in implications for that entire galaxy.
Oh, alright. Got some biting wit in it, too." Grins. He said, "Got any
more about the dueling action?" I said, "A lot, but local and personal
issues. I'm raising a young man, and helping a society to evolve. Some
interesting happenings, but mostly just work. I should be ending my
involvement there soon. Most of my actions, even on Earth, have private
things in them that shouldn't be broadcast. And those that don't,
mostly can't be made useful to show as a video. Real life isn't usually
staged for that. Some actions would cause unusual feelings about me, or
have things in them that would cause problems, such as Adept things, or
sexual issues. Most of my actions are not short term things." He said,
"I think I understand. But please?" I said, "What I can, and think will
be useful, I do share." He nodded. We hugged all around.
Back home, I said, "Well done. Great team we were." Mom said, "I have
going to tell us how you would do the frying?" I said, "Nope. You knew
that." She growled, and we chuckled.
There was a lot of discussion about that action, with a lot of smiles
and admiration. Kids loved it. No big surprise there!
