Stephen's Secure Blog #441
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 29 in this story, in Summer of year 19 of his special school.

Kam is 9, and Sol is 10. We've decided that both are going to the
school in the Fall. When we told them that, they were all excited. Then
not so much when we told them they would be staying in a foster home
there, most of the time. Kam said, "But why?" Rose said "I did. That's
right. I grew up here. So did Cress and Hawk, who was the first of us
to go to the school. He stayed in a foster home there, too. We missed
him a lot, but I think he missed us a little less." Hawk nodded, and
said, "I have to admit it, I did. It was a new adventure to me, and I
was having so much fun, even though I worked REALLY hard, I was very
happy to be there. Then Stephen arrived, and I found my true love." We
all felt that love from him. Rose said, "And then I went there, and
found the same in Stephen. It was a whole new world. We want all those
good things for you, too." I said "There are practical reasons, too.
The time zone difference. A daily commute would do bad things to your
life rhythms. Still, you could come home on weekends and during the
summer. If you want to. You might not want to, while having so much fun
there. That's fine with us. We want what is best for YOU."
Sol said to me, "Did you go home on weekends, too?" I said "I didn't
have another home to go to. That's why I haven't said much about this.
I don't know what it's like in this life, and my last one, to have a
real home with a real loving and safe family, while I was going to the
school. I'll say this, though. Good change is good for you. It gives
you learning experiences that you can't have any other way. Very
important things. No, I'm not going to tell you what they are, and not
just because they are different for each of us. You need to have no
implanted preconceptions, to derive the most from those experiences;
discovery, being one of the greatest joys. Many of my best times in my
lives as a kid, for learning and for fun, I resisted at first. Dreaded,
actually. Let us who have been through these things, guide you with our
love and care. One more thing. The home you will go to, is the same I
lived in." Rose said "I think they did a VERY good job in raising your
father!" They obviously couldn't argue with that. I said "Something
else. They could tell you how I was then." That really captured their
interest. I said "A little more, actually. They knew me in my previous
life, too. I was their teacher. Hmm. Maybe I should ask them not to
that. We did a lot of hugging and kissing, while we laughed.
Later that evening, Rose said to me, "You managed the foster home
situation very well." I said "It was fortunate for us that Tim and Mac
are still around and are willing to keep doing it." Hawk said,
"Probably just out of curiosity." We poked him. I said "Next summer,
Sol goes to camp. Who doesn't want to watch THAT?" They laughed. Rose
said "And not Kam?" I said "The year after. But while Sol is in camp,
Kam will be in Tibet, being introduced as the Dalai Lama, and touring
the country with Rhamcha." Rose said, "Will they accept her?" I just
grinned. They poked me. I said "Er, ouch?" They laughed. I said "You
might not have noticed it, but I've noticed some mannerisms in common
with the last one. They'll be looking for that. And that she'll
recognize some places and things. They will feel the truth in her. I
don't think there will be much of a problem." They nodded, satisfied.
Four more political candidates asked for my approval, and one already
in the Senate. I approved the candidates. I asked the other one why he
wanted my approval, when he wasn't running for anything. He said "But I
do plan, at least for now, to run again. I don't know how to say this
without sounding heartless, but with what you've said, I don't know if
you will be available then." I said "Truth is only really heartless if
he who expresses it is heartless. You aren't." He nodded, with moist
eyes. I said "In fact, in this you are wise. Unexpectedly so, for your
position." He had to laugh. I said "Do you think some others will ask
for approval, who aren't in immediate er, need of it, after what we do
here today becomes public?" He said "Yes, I think some will. I plan to
encourage it, too. Tibet is a resounding success, and you approved of
them in their government. There HAS to be a connection. I want that
success for OUR country, too." I said "I've been waiting for somebody
to see that, and make it public. Those at CNN never did. That's right.
I rarely gave them questions to ask. They still didn't do that as well
as they could have, even after I suggested they ask some real experts
for good questions. Boring repetitions. That's why I stopped the
shows." He said "Wow!" I said "I have a big collection of those." He
laughed. Then he looked surprised, and said, "I just thought of
something. Did you do something similar in China? You made them free
I looked like I was conspiring, and said, "Shhhhh." He made a silent
wow. I said "You know how delicate international diplomacy can be. You
tell anybody that I influenced them, and they might just go the other
way in pride." He said "I see that. It applies more to them than to any
other people. I WILL keep it to myself, even if you disapprove me." I
said "But then, they might actually be proud of it, considering all the
good that came of it. Better not risk it, though. About the approval.
You already had it before you asked. I know of you and your quality.
I'll make it official for the evening news." He had some tears, and
said, "Thank you. I have to ask, when you are gone, will one of your
people continue to do this?" I said "Again, you are the first to ask
that, which shows how well you care for the future. I have two things
to say about that. The first is, we've been doing it since I was 12 in
my previous life, and not just in this country, but not in public,
which should remain a secret." I cupped my ear, and he said, "Wow", and
laughed. I said "I don't know if the public part will continue, or even
if it could be valued without my known er, boss connection, after I'm
gone. It's not my decision. I don't rule my people. It's not necessary.
They WILL be fair. We are all that way. We hug a lot, too." I stood,
and we did that. I ported him home. I announced the standard approval
for him, but added a comment about his care for the future. That
surprised some, and made some think, too. A lot more, when he said why
he asked for it, and recommended that all do the same. There were no
immediate takers. News outlets had a lot of back and forth comments on
the whole thing. Chad liked that.
A lot of countries, and the UN, asked for our help in decommissioning
atomic power plants. I had a meeting with them. They outlined the
problem. I said "Uranium is expensive. Spent fuel rods are VERY
expensive, but so is storing them. There isn't any perfectly safe way
to store them so they can later be retrieved. But I CAN store them, and
in the countries that want to keep them, but my technology would make
them inaccessible." One said "Could you explain that?" I said "A
shielded time stasis field. I am the only one I know of who can do
that, and undo it when necessary. Another option is to port the whole
thing into a star." One said "Couldn't you put it in space somewhere?"
I said "I could, but I won't. A thousand years from now, what if
somebody stumbles across it, and in ignorance, opens it up, and dies
from that? Or worse, brings it home, and a lot of people die? I know
very well that can happen. I've explored space junk myself. Warnings
are only useful to people who understand and believe them." After some
more discussion, I said, "We will remove anything the owners want us
to, safely, but permanently. Just like we've been doing. Whole
buildings, if they want, even active reactors. That's right. They don't
need to be shut down. We removed the one in Chernobyl, and cleaned the
area. Size doesn't matter. Not even in sex." Some chuckles. I said "But
I said "One more thing. Each national government, and owner of the
plant, must authorize that inside their own territory. No, you can't go
and tell me that, yourself. No surprises." Some looked disappointed. I
said "I won't do your work for you, or anybody. Even if I wanted to, I
can't. I shouldn't. That I can't interfere with global warming should
have told you that. I can only help with what you can't physically do
in some circumstances, that won't affect free will. I don't get to
choose, but everybody else must must be able to choose to do the right
thing, or suffer the consequences. Do you understand?" Some did.
One asked to see me alone after the meeting. Then she said, "Sir, I
have something to say that I think the others wanted to, but couldn't
ask. Your er, glow. Is this something new? Is there some special
significance to it?" I said, "Could you please describe it?" She did. I
said "That's my aura. Interesting. You said they all could see it?" She
said, "We did, and commented on it while you were in the main office
before the meeting." I said "People who don't have the ability to see
psionic things, don't see auras, unless the aura is extremely powerful,
and that was only a possibility. I didn't know it was happening, and I
sure didn't cause it. It's definitely not something I want, and what it
could mean about how much time I have left. Anyway, who wants to be
some kind of strange lightbulb?" She didn't know how to respond. I said
"Thank you very much for telling me about this." I offered to hug her,
and she accepted, and I gave her all my love. I helped her to sit, and
ported to the school, and to Pete's office.
I said to Pete, "I have a strange request." He laughed. I said "No,
stranger than that." He looked very interested. I said "I need one or
more Adepts who don't have any automatic processes going on, who are
willing to close their Third Eyes, and then tell me what they see when
they look at me." I could see the contact traces from his head. I named
out loud each one he contacted. He said "How?", just as they were
porting in. There were three. I said to them, after hugs and kisses of
greeting, "I would like us to do a little experiment. If you would,
please turn off your psionics completely, and then look at me with only
your eyes, and maybe your noses if you want, and tell me if you notice
anything out of the ordinary that somebody would also notice who wasn't
psionic." They did that, and told us they could still see my aura. I
thanked them with more hugs and kisses, and they turned on their
psionics and left.
I said to Pete, "So now I'm an excited firefly for ALL to see. Try it
with a camera?" He did, and said, "Not visible to a camera. Or a
mirror." I said "Thanks. In answer to your question, I could see the
traces your contacts made, and I just knew their names. I didn't try."
He said "Wow!" I said "I agree. It means I'm really nearing my end." He
said "Do you know the date?" I said "I suppose I should tell you. The
love broadcast after I include Kam in one, will be when I go. But she
is NOT to know that!" He said "Right. I don't know if we can delay her
psionics. We almost couldn't do that for you." I said "I know. But when
she is able to use the 4th for extra energy, she joins me in a
broadcast. I can't disobey my instructions." He said "Yes. Are you
going to do something special for the last one?" I grinned and wiggled
my eyebrows, and said, "You'll just have to wait and see." He said
no. Children." He said "Oh, right. Would have been interesting,
though." We exchanged big grins.
Back home, Hawk said, "But what ARE you going to do?" I said "I
haven't decided. I don't know what new abilities I might have then. I
might be given an extra special one at the last second. I AM going to
make the last one count, though." Rose said "I don't doubt that in the
least. Too bad about the orgasms, though." We agreed on that, for
others. Not for ourselves right then. It was a really fun time.
