|

|
|
25 The trio was going thru normal operation of the ship. Some communications
|
|||
|
|
26 had been restored and ship to ship conversation was enabled. Three other
|
|||
|
|
27 ships were with "the great guaran" and seemed to be keeping each other
|
|||
|
|
28 company. This uncharted area left many choices open. Choices were being
|
|||
|
|
29 made on the correct destination, whatever that was. Ultimatly it was
|
|||
|
|
30 decided that 4 ships could cover more ground than one fleet and that
|
|||
|
|
31 expedtions were in order. tommorow whenever that is the four would
|
|||
|
|
32 part company to return in 6 months time to report.

33 Leo was frustrated, no mater how much she clung to the trident
|

|

34 it gave her no help. No idea's popped up like lightbulbs to show

35 a gleaming light in the deep dark of space. Perhaps the trident was
|

36 just on the fritz she thought to herself, anytime now we should get

73 Re : Mat/December relationships
|
|||
|
|
74
|
|||
|
|
75 Has any thought been given to the biological implications of May/Dec
|
|||
|
|
76 relationships ?. I think we are overstating the crux when focus solely on
|
|||
|
|
77 matching the sexual peak of individuals.
|
|||
|
|
78 ...(arrg enter only ! ch: focus/focus is...)
|
|||
|
|
79 Consider... within a biological framework the following.
|
|||
|
|
80 An elder male that has withstood the tests of the environment,is in
|
|||
|
|
81 good health, in general has a stronger drive for life.
|
|||
|
|
82 Younger female with many years of child bearing and care ahead.
|
|||
|
|
83 In terms of a species survival it makes logical sense to pass the genes
|
|||
|
|
84 of a well adapted long living member on to a younger member of the species
|
|||
|
|
85 for care and upbringing.

90 called reality of "HERE & NOW". I imagine I managed to missed an absolutely
|

91 wild tirade about the (AHEM!) snails tax. Ahhh well... I am sorry that I
|
|||
|
|
92 can't say more on this May/December issue but there really must be a new
|
|||
|
|
93 skeleton we can drag out of the closet. HMMMM.... I know! How many people
|
|||
|
|
94 present today believe that our supposed state legislators don't really
|
|||
|
|
95 "understand" their constituients? I'm mean, we should all want them to have
|
|||
|
|
96 a shower in the capital right? And let's not forget that nifty little per-
|
|||
|
|
97 diem raise! And hey! Let's be sure to have a full time, year round session
|
|||
|
|
98 on why ballot measure # 1 didn't pass so we enjoy that raise! Just what are
|

108 Crimson and Crystal (words & music: Cynthia McQuillin)
|
|||
|
|
109 Crimson and Crystal deck her shadow hals
|
|||
|
|
110 And in incense and teardrops her voice gently calls.
|
|||
|
|
111 But in that silent kingdom the sun never shines
|
|||
|
|
112 For she's locked it away in the fortress of time.
|
|||
|
|
113
|
|||
|
|
114 Her eyes they are hollow like deep empty pools
|
|||
|
|
115 And her touch is like ice, it makes mortal blood cool
|
|||
|
|
116 Her existence is longing, she's waiting for me
|
|||
|
|
117 My dear Lady Death will soon set me free.
|
|||
|
|
118
|
|||
|
|
119 In mansions of shadow she wanders each night
|
|||
|
|
120 But she's ever alone outside time's patterned flight
|
|||
|
|
121 As she lays down beside each lover she takes
|
|||
|
|
122 She whispers their name but they never awake.
|
|||
|
|
123
|
|||
|
|
124 Crimson and Crystal deck her shadow halls
|
|||
|
|
125 And in incense and teardrops my name now she calls.
|
|||
|
|
126 I'll see her tommorrow for with her I'll go
|
|||
|
|
127 To stay with the Lady that time only knows.
|
|||
|
|
128
|
|||
|
|
129 Crimson and Crystal deck her shadow halls
|
|||
|
|
130 And the time will be coming when we've all been called
|
|||
|
|
131 To lie down in silence in her crystal sleep
|
|||
|
|
132 And she'll watch us and guard us in her crimson keep.

189 It was always cold in here. Even with the gowns over scrubs and mask, it
|
|||
|
|
190 was darn cold. Perhaps it was the patient's goose bumps and betadine skin..
|
|||
|
|
191 It was his first breast augmentation. A bright future ahead, augmenting
|
|||
|
|
192 and reducing.... The life of a plastics man! The money!
|
|||
|
|
193 He never cared for the balding, alcholic man at the controls of the
|

|
194 anesthesia machine and less for tapes he insisted on playing in the OR.
|
|||
|
|
195 The scrub nurse was ready to hand over the knife, but he paused. An
|
|||
|
|
196 augmentation on a transvestite. This is not what he thought he would be
|
|||
|
|
197 doing on his rotation to riches! And now with all this AIDS business. He
|
|||
|
|
198 did not WANT to change the world. He wanted a life, a family, and a nice
|
|||
|
|
199 practice doing face lifts and tummies.
|
|||
|
|
200 No he was not going to suffer this middle aged waltz crap anymore. "Kill
|
|||
|
|
201 that tape and put on the FM!", he barked at the nurse!

276 There once was a hacker from Trite
|
|||
|
|
277 Whose skin was a terrible sight.
|
|||
|
|
278 And though it couldn't be,
|
|||
|
|
279 It looked just like a tree,
|
|||
|
|
280 So alas, his bark was much worse than his byte!
|
|||
|
|
281
|
|||
|
|
282 And...
|
|||
|
|
283
|
|||
|
|
284 There was a young hacker who spit,
|
|||
|
|
285 Right in front of where he sit,
|
|||
|
|
286 The computer burst aflame,
|
|||
|
|
287 The hacker was in shame,
|
|||
|
|
288 He said "I missed it by just one bit!"
|
|||
|
|
289
|
|||
|
|
290 Oh, well, what else to do.
|
|||
|

291
|
|||
|
|
292 To Legislator:
|
|||
|
|
293
|
|||
|
|
294 They don't care. Within a few years, the big money corrupts 'em anyway. So why
|
|||
|
|
295 do you care if you don't do anything but maybe vote once in a while anyway?
|
|||
|
|
296 Politics should never be discussed lest there is a plan of action that will be
|
|||
|
|
297 taken and accomplished. The rest is just hot, hot, hot air.
|
|||
|
|
298
|
|||
|
|
299 And lots of it.

322 How can the strange wonderland that some tag a 'dream' be described? Shall
|
|||
|
|
323 I call it wonderful, hideous, or beautiful? Or is it all of these? English
|
|||
|
|
324 does not communicate the concept well, I fear, and yet it is all that we have
|
|||
|
|
325 to deal with. Hope that it suffices. Milchar dreamt.
|
|||
|
|
326 In other circles of magical expertise, adepts would have termed it a healing
|
|||
|
|
327 dream. An effort by that part of him which keeps the whole going.
|
|||
|
|
328 Milchar did not know he dreamt. He was blissfully unaware of the raging of
|
|||
|
|
329 his sensory nerves- especially those that dealt with pain. He was suspended
|
|||
|
|
330 in a void that lay within us all, until-
|
|||
|
|
331 ++++++++++++++++
|
|||
|
|
332 "..up. C'mon, Milch, the 'doc say's you're conscious. Up and at 'em. Let's
|
|||
|
|
333 carpe that ol' diem. Grann, he's not listening to me. Get that ice water
|
|||
|
|
334 ready, will you?"
|
|||
|
|
335 I opened my eyes. I regretted it, and closed them again. Despite my
|
|||
|
|
336 tremendous struggle to still it, the room insisted upon quivering. "Ohh...
|
|||
|
|
337 The ice water you can leave alone, Grann. Judging from my surroundings,"
|
|||
|
|
338 I opened my eyes again, "you've moved me. Not surprising, I don't think I'd
|
|||
|
|
339 make a very attractive rug. Ouch, Doctor- remind me to bring aspirin along
|
|||
|
|
340 next time I go extra-body-hopping. Better yet- stop me."
|
|||
|
|
341 "You've got my promise. Want to explain the visitors outside?"
|
|||
|
|
342 I remembered exactly HOW I'd received my entry for "Headache, Skull-Cracking
|
|||
|
|
343 Division, Grade 1A". "Haven't you talked to them yet? Using the sub-space
|
|||
|
|
344 communicator? Even normal AV com will work, they're only a few thousand km
|
|||
|
|
345 away."
|
|||
|
|
346 "I've neglected to tell you. During your trance, you used up all of the
|
|||
|
|
347 argentium. AND you made five systems, including communication but not
|
|||
|
|
348 dimensional stabilizing, spatial anchoring or life support. Thus, unless you
|
|||
|
|
349 have two tin cans and a VERY long string, the chit-chat is out. Back to
|
|||
|
|
350 question one. Want to explain the visitors outside? Identities will do."
|
|||
|
|
351 "Piper and Bard you know. The rest- Cragmore, Trainor, Lady Tyree, Zeb,
|
|||
|
|
352 The Tin Man- I hope I haven't neglected anyone- are new to me. Cragmore and
|
|||
|
|
353 Tyree have psi talent, Zeb I could not discern anything at all about, and
|
|||
|
|
354 the Tin Man is a... machine intelligence. Ah, yes, now I remember one more:
|
|||
|
|
355 Emu. My contact with the others was thread-thin, except with Cragmore."
|
|||
|
|
356 The Doctor paused to straighten out the names in his head. "And why did you
|
|||
|
|
357 need so much power? Were you powering their craft?"
|
|||
|
|
358 "One question at a time. No on two. The Pell-Mell is not deficient in that
|
|||
|
|
359 regard. I powered the convolution, instead."
|
|||
|
|
360 "You WHAT?"
|
|||
|
|
361 "Let me explain. The flow of time in the... hmmm, for lack of a proper term,
|
|||
|
|
362 I'll call it the ZEB zone for now...was much slower than the time flow here.
|
|||
|
|
363 The convolution was created in the ZEB zone, but since it bridged the planes,
|
|||
|
|
364 it remained here for a 'longer' amount of time. If a sidereal observer could
|
|||
|
|
365 see both planes at once, he would see that the the convolution sprang into
|
|||
|
|
366 being, existed, and ceased on both planes simultaneously."
|
|||
|
|
367 "And how was it formed in the first place?"
|
|||
|
|
368 "By the mixing of blood in the zone, it seems. By love. By any number of
|
|||
|
|
369 unique things. I really don't know. What I did was find a ship of beings
|
|||
|
|
370 in the zone, contacted them, and held the convolution open long enough for
|
|||
|
|
371 them to slip through. I'll bet they will have a tale to tell at the Inn.
|
|||
|
|
372 How much time has passed there?"
|
|||
|
|
373 "I've had the computer work that out. Fifteen minutes in the zone equals
|
|||
|
|
374 four weeks here equals eight days on earth equals five days in Innisfal. I
|
|||
|
|
375 am constantly reminded of an old but true saying, 'The perversity of the
|
|||
|
|
376 universe tends toward a maximum.' I think "universe" should be struck out and
|
|||
|
|
377 "multiverse" inserted. Get up, you need food. Afterwards you can help me
|
|||
|
|
378 fix the systems you've molten."
|
|||
|
|
379 "Molten!?"
|
|||
|
|
380 "Yes. You're quite thorough when you do something, aren't you? Molten to
|
|||
|
|
381 their core..."

399 the light that was once bright subsided. i turned to make quite certain
|
|||
|
|
400 that the other person, the one that so graciously has taken the name 'zeb',
|
|||
|
|
401 was resting peacefully. i saw no motions yet i knew something was not as
|
|||
|
|
402 it should be.
|
|||
|
|
403 before i would try to get some sleep i would check the compress over
|
|||
|
|
404 zeb's wound to see if the amount of bleeding had actually gone down to
|
|||
|
|
405 the point that it wouldn't require constant attention. i looked, but
|
|||
|
|
406 what caught my attention was that her eyes were open. i tried to move
|
|||
|
|
407 back to where i was before and noticed a shift in gravity.
|
|||
|
|
408 "oh, i feel so light!..." i thought aloud.
|
|||
|
|
409 "you should. it's a natural experience," she said softly in reply.
|
|||
|
|
410 "i should? it is? what do you mean? are you all right?" i was just
|
|||
|
|
411 filled with nonsensical, irrelavent questions. her having spoken caught
|
|||
|
|
412 me a biy off my guard.
|
|||
|
|
413 "yes, what you are doing now is not doing. you are thinking. now are
|
|||
|
|
414 you able to do what you may not have been able if you had to rely on your
|
|||
|
|
415 physical body." she said this softly, but i did hear her.
|
|||
|
|
416 "you mean this is more of this mental mumbo-jumbo? as in..."
|
|||
|
|
417 "yes. but relax, it is essential."
|
|||
|
|
418 "you, uh, seem to know what your talking about. er, i mean thinking
|
|||
|
|
419 about. oh, i don't know what i mean anymore. this is all so confusing."
|
|||
|
|
420 her face gave way to a slight smile as i attempted to calm myself. "but
|
|||
|
|
421 what about yourself, are you all right? are you still in pain?"
|
|||
|
|
422 "no, i'm not all right, but it shall pass. it always does. and yes, i
|
|||
|
|
423 am still in pain. such pain does not aleviate easily. but it shall pass."
|
|||
|
|
424 "is there anything i...?"
|
|||
|
|
425 "you must be strong. i have not spoken, as it were, to anyone this way
|
|||
|
|
426 for quite some time."
|
|||
|
|
427 "i... well i don't really know..." my head began to spin. "what i
|
|||
|
|
428 was going to ask was how did you get here? i think i know how the piper

442 Attention Galaxy player who helped out so graciously before. One more question:
|
|||
|
|
443 (well, probably one of many more, but my philosophy is, why knock your brains
|
|||
|
|
444 out trying to trace and retrace your steps when you've put in so many hours,
|
|||
|
|
445 why not ask those who can give you a hint? It's a lot more fun anyway...
|
|||
|
|
446
|
|||
|
|
447 Anyway, how about that smart ol' door in the Heart of Gold? I did the drive

|
|
448 with the tea sub and all (prematurely I guess, it docked me 30 points so I
|
|||
|
|
449 know I'm on the wrong track), so I think the key is that %('&#"%#!!! door.

475 After my scroll was given back to me I placed it on the table in front of
|
|||
|
|
476 me and started thinking of new things to write. While I was thinking this
|
|||
|
|
477 small rabbit was staring at me, I looked at it for a minute finding nothing
|
|||
|
|
478 unusual about it, then I fell back into my thoughts. After a few seconds I
|
|||
|
|
479 opened my eyes to find this rabbit reaching for my scroll (Which was just
|
|||
|
|
480 beyond his reach), I was curious as to what it intended to do with it when
|
|||
|
|
481 (if) he got it, I pulled back my scroll and made a swatting gesture hoping
|
|||
|
|
482 to scare off this small animal but he just looked at me for a second and then
|
|||
|
|
483 tried once again to grab my writings. I decided to let him have it after my
|
|||
|
|
484 attempt to scare him off so I pushed it within his reach waiting for him to
|
|||
|
|
485 take it. At the same time I was telling myself that if he destroyed it I was
|
|||
|
|
486 going to have rabbit stew tonight. I am now waiting for this rabbit to do
|
|||
|
|
487 something.

491 The scroll was old, torn, and had much sign of wear. There were eraser(?) marks everywhere. Words, in a very
|
|||
|
|
492 beutiful writing style, were spread across it's face, and I tried to understand them. I made out "Darbon"
|
|||
|
|
493 "Love" and "Two" but the rest was indecipherable. Scratching with my
|
|||
|
|
494 back-foot, I tried to unscramble the words by sounding them out, but to no
|
|||
|
|
495 avail. Darbon smiled as he watched me "reading" his scroll. It was a grand
|
|||
|
|
496 sight to just look at the calligraphy, let alone the wonder the words probably
|
|||
|
|
497 held, but until they were spokemn, they would remain a mystery to me. I let
|
|||
|
|
498 go of the scroll, and in appreciatioon for letting me see it, I fished out a truffle and pushed it towards him, hoping he would 499 take it. It was the least I could do...
|
|||
|
|
500
|
|||
|
|
501 I then waited for Darbon to do something....

504 Tell me: how can anything creative be a "waste of space"? If true effort is
|
|||
|
|
505 put into a piece of writing, why not let others look at it? Let them praise
|
|||
|
|
506 it, condemn it, or objectively critique it, as their personality allows. Let
|

|
|
507 the author grow. Backwater is unique. Let it alone. How can anything

508 creative be a waste of space? Never mind. Don't tell me, I don't want to

509 know.

530 Yeah, I guess I see your point. My apologies...constructive criticism or praise

531 is always better than complaint. Thanx for the comment.

|
|
548 One of the reasons that I take this boardwalk, is to read the fine, and not
|
|||
|
|
549 so fine, liturature that is penned here upon. If I just want Techie mannure,
|
|||
|
|
550 I can go anywhere, but for a blend of the best of it all I come here. My
|
|||
|
|
551 praises to both the writers comloudy, and those who just choose to chat.
|
|||
|
|
552 I mean eaves dropping can be as much fun as reading lit.
