|
|||
|
|
5 GENERAL DISCLAIMER: BWMS IS NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY INFORMATION
|
|||
|
|
6 PLACED ON THIS SYSTEM.
|
|||
|
|
7 BWMS was created as an electronic bill board. BWMS is a privately owned
|
|||
|
|
8 and operated system which is currently open for use by the general public.
|
|||
|
|
9 No restrictions are placed on the use of the system. As the system is
|
|||
|
|
10 privately owned, I retain the right to remove any and all messages which
|
|||
|
|
11 I may find offensive. Because of the limited size of the system, it will be
|
|||
|
|
12 periodically purged of messages. (only 629 lines of data can be saved)
|
|||
|
|
13 To leave a message, type 'ENTER' and use ctrl/C or break to get out of the
|
|||
|
|
14 ENTER mode. The message is automatically stored. If after entering the
|
|||
|
|
15 message you find you made a mistake, use the replace command to replace
|
|||
|
|
16 the line. To exit from the system, type 'OFF' then hang up.
|
|||
|
|
17 Type 'HELP' to see other commands that are available on the system.
|
|||
|
|
18 *****************************************************************
|
|||
|
|
19
|
|||
|
|
20 SCOTT: from the command prompt when you first get on, type "CC N" this will
|
|||
|
|
21 show the control S's everyone is telling you about. It appears to be some
|
|||
|
|
22 sort of bug in your terminal software since it is filling the line with them,
|
|||
|
|
23 What is happening is that your software is sending a XOFF (the control S), but
|
|||
|
|
24 since BWMS doesn't recognize the character as anything other then a regular
|
|||
|
|
25 character, it echos it back, so your software sends another to try to stop
|
|||
|
|
26 BWMS from sending those nasty things, so BWMS echos them because it thinks
|
|||
|
|
27 you want to enter them...... until the line gets full, then BWMS starts seg
|
|||
|
|
28 bells to let you know that the line is full. You need to find out why the
|
|||
|
|
29 control S is being sent.

44 I am calling from Eugene, I was wondering how the job situation is up there.
|
|||
|
|
45 I just graduated from Lane Community College with a 2 year degree in Computer
|
|||
|
|
46 Programming. Is there jobs for programmers? Also I was wondering if there
|
|||
|
|
47 any user groups for Apples up there (I have an Apple ][e). I think this board
|
|||
|
|
48 is really different, but it does the job. What is it run on? Can you do 1200
|
|||
|
|
49 Baud? It would help my phone bill if you can.

53 Ok leonard, how could you tell it was the LNW, and then the IBM? Was it the boarder? Was it the keys I used? I went back
|
|||
|
|
54 and looked at that LNW message, and except for a couple double spaces there was no noticeable computer-determined errors.
|
|||
|
|
55 So how? And then the planet? Jupiter what? What argument? Whoosh! Over the head. The cable: How about a dozen disks for
|

56 the cable? If you don't mind non-verbatims, I have a few extras. Hold on the RS232? Ok, I'll take out of the out box and put

57 it back into the extra-parts drawer.

63 Okay! Enough! No more Mr. Niceguy. Responsibility. Yes, think about it.
|
|||
|
|
64 That strange concept few think about and even fewer practice. No one
|
|||
|
|
65 takes responsibility. It's not my fault, I don't work in that department.
|
|||
|
|
66 I can't take responsibility for that. You'll have to get someone else to
|
|||
|
|
67 help you. How typical. Shrug, shirk, shrink away. It's not my problem.
|
|||
|
|
68 NO! I want you to take responsibility. I want to take responsibility too.
|
|||
|
|
69 We must go forth hand in hand, never again to blame another, but to
|
|||
|
|
70 instead admit our guilt. Time enough has passed without paying the dues
|
|||
|
|
71 that our owed for life. We can not continue on the present path of self-
|
|||
|
|
72 ishness. No more, no more, it is time to service the debt, and clean the
|
|||
|
|
73 slate, and try, yes at least try, to start anew. Can we try? Will you
|
|||
|
|
74 try? Yes I will try. Now, let us. Please, we must try. It is now or never.

103 depressing problems with a multiple author story -- we aren't keeping it

|
|
111 I've just bought a book so that I may keep reminders of what has come to
|
|||
|
|
112 pass in the trek of our comrades across these great lands of home.
|
|||
|
|
113 The morning will come to soon, and with the sun will come the sounds of
|
|||
|
|
114 of boot heels in the sea of mud that for the night we could call home.
|
|||
|
|
115 I will go now and collapse on the cot next to your brother, weary from
|
|||
|
|
116 the toils of our labor. Patter would be proud of us.

|
|||
|
|
124 The pale orange sun struggled futilely to make its way past
|
|||
|
|
125 the grey mist. A cock crowed, and inside the small shack, the
|
|||
|
|
126 sole inhabitant, a youth of eighteen stirred. Reluctant to leave
|
|||
|
|
127 his warm bed, he half-consciously shuddered as his feet hit the
|
|||
|
|
128 cold stone floor. He walked over to the basin, poured some water
|
|||
|
|
129 from the pitcher into it, and then splashed a handful into his
|
|||
|
|
130 groggy eyes. His mind still filled with thoughts of sleep, he
|
|||
|
|
131 shrugged and poured the remainder of the water over his head.
|
|||
|
|
132 Today was no time to be groggy, for it was the annual day for
|
|||
|
|
133 examinations to the academy--examinations that were the only hope
|
|||
|
|
134 for those too poor to make their way on anything but merit.
|
|||
|
|
135 He moved thoughtfully over to the fireplace, and poked the
|
|||
|
|
136 coals into a small fire. Adding some kindling, he hung the
|
|||
|
|
137 kettle on its hook. While he waited for the water to boil, he
|
|||
|
|
138 quickly finished dressing. He gathered the two fresh eggs from
|
|||
|
|
139 the henhouse, and fried them with some bacon from the larder. He
|
|||
|
|
140 could only eat about half his meal, his stomach too nervous to
|
|||
|
|
141 hold much besides the strong tea. He dumped the rest of the food
|
|||
|
|
142 on the ground for the hens, washed the plate and pan, and sat down
|
|||
|
|
143 for one last cup of tea. He struggled to control his thoughts--
|
|||
|
|
144 he saw himself placing first on the list of scholars, then he
|
|||
|
|
145 worried about finishing last, his mind fluttering back and forth
|
|||
|
|
146 between the two extremes. "Enough!" he yelled at himself. "I
|
|||
|
|
147 will do my best--and that is all any man can do." Shouldering his
|
|||
|
|
148 bag and pocketing his uncle's pipe, he set off to test himself.

184 SADLEY, THE SUMMER IS DRAWING TO A CLOSE. THE SUN'S PLACE IN THE SKY IS CHANGING
|
|||
|
|
185 , SHIFTING TO WHERE IT'S LIGHT NO LONGER PROVIDES THE VIGOROUS WARMTH OF THE
|
|||
|
|
186 MIDSUMMER. RESIDUAL HEAT STILL KEEPS THE BITE OF THE COLD AWAY, BUT EACH DAY
|
|||
|
|
187 WINTER SUCKS THAT MUCH MORE ENERGY AWAY FROM THE HEATSTORE. ANOTHER SUMMER GONE.
|
|||
|
|
188 AND, WHY DO I FEEL AS THOUGH EACH YEAR I ACCOMPLISH LESS, ENJOY THE SUMMER LESS?
|
|||
|
|
189 IS IT BECAUSE AS I GROW OLDER I HAVE LESS TIME FOR DAYDREAMING, LYING IN THE SUN
|
|||
|
|
190 AND HAVE MORE RESPONSIBILITIES TO MEET? MORE WORK AND MONEY I HAVE TO GET? WHY
|
|||
|
|
191 MUST I WORK MONTHS TO BUY AND SUPPORT A HOUSE, CAR AND OTHER PERIPERAL ITEMS?
|
|||
|
|
192 ALL THESE DO IS TO HELP ME TO WORK BETTER, MAKE MORE MONEY TO BUY A BETTER CAR
|
|||
|
|
193 BUY A BETTER HOUSE, MORE THINGS THAT TAKE
|
|||
|
|
194 MORE OF MY TIME AWAY. AS I GROW OLDER, I FIND THAT MY TIME IS LESS AND LESS MY
|
|||
|
|
195 OWN. IT IS OTHERS. AND EVEN THEN, OTHERS ALSO LOSE MORE OF THEIR TIME TO ME.
|
|||
|
|
196 THIS IS NOT A FAIR TRADE OFF, I WOULD GLADLY GIVE THEM THEIR TIME BACK, IF I COULD
|
|||
|
|
197 EVEN GET A SMALL AMOUNT OF MY OWN FROM THEM. OTHER PEOPLE, TOO WOULD LIKE THIS.
|
|||
|
|
198 ALL OF US, LIVE OTHERS LIVES. STILL, I HAVE MY SCOPE, MY VISION OF MYSELF, OTHERS
|
|||
|
|
199 OFTEN LOSE THEIRS. MANY PEOPLE, LOSE TOUCH WITH THEMSELVES, IS IT BECAUSE TO LOOK
|
|||
|
|
200 AT YOURSELF IS UNBERABLE? BECAUSE YOU CANNOT EVER GET BACK TO WHAT YOU HAVE LOST
|
|||
|
|
201 AND TO FORGET THIS YOU IGNORE YOURSELF? I NEVER WANT TO BECOME LIKE THIS. EVEN IF
|
|||
|
|
202 ALL MY LIFE IS GONE TO OTHER PEOPLE, I STILL WANT TO LOOK AT MYSELF AND SEE
|
|||
|
|
203 EVEN IF IT MAKES ME CRY.

256 several minutes. Piper? You look downcast beyond the ravages of your
|
|||
|
|
257 medicines. Emu? You stand in the corner and lurk. You act as if you wanted
|
|||
|
|
258 to say something, but you remain silent. Lady Tyree? You too are
|
|||
|
|
259 strangly quiet, so different from what you were before. Tin Man and Fencer,
|
|||
|
|
260 so new to our adventure, but still so silent. I ask again, what has
|
|||
|
|
261 happened? Have we lost sight of that which has drawn us together? Are we to
|
|||
|
|
262 stand aside and let this evil destroy all that we know? I have already lost
|
|||
|
|
263 my planet, but it is not too late for you. But we must act and act
|
|||
|
|
264 swiftly. A group can not function as a group unless all the members act
|
|||
|
|
265 accordingly. We must not lose sight of our goal. We must not forget that
|
|||
|
|
266 the universe depends on us. We are the last bastion the Realities have."
|
|||
|
|
267 Trainor appeared drained from his empassioned speach. He sunk down
|
|||
|
|
268 onto some cushions behind the main control chairs. He was silent, as were
|
|||
|
|
269 the rest of the adventurers. The Pell-mell floated in trans-reality.
|
|||
|
|
270 Trainor's planet, or what was left of it, was only a few realities away.
|
|||
|
|
271 The path the creature from ZEB had torn a path through the fabric of space,
|
|||
|
|
272 a path that could be followed by the Pell-mell. The question was would the
|
|||
|
|
273 Pell-mell follow? Would it visit the planet to see the destruction the
|
|||
|
|
274 ZEB creature could havoc? Can the diverse and talanted group of people
|
|||
|
|
275 overcome their problems, and return to the group that looked so promising
|
|||
|
|
276 at the beginning of the quest? As always, unanswered questions; questions
|
|||
|
|
277 that could only be answered by the voice of all, or the voice of none.

281 Responsibility and Illusion, so each partakes of the other, in

|
|
282 turn, as colors shift to the mind's eye. Yellow is Red and Black
|
|||
|
|
283 is White, but the gathering gloom surrounds all in its embrace, an
|
|||
|
|
284 embrace of death. Daylight fades as the onrush of the darkness
|
|||
|
|
285 overtakes all in its path. The analogy is clear, but the actions
|
|||
|
|
286 to take are not. What should the responsible person due to avoid
|
|||
|
|
287 the effects of such an occurrence? As the gloom that approaches
|
|||
|
|
288 us gains despite our best intentions, clouded are the choices
|
|||
|
|
289 we can make. d, your words smack of a need for the same thing
|
|||
|
|
290 when we look deep into ourselves, we all need. It goes without
|
|||
|
|
291 saying that needs unmet are acids untreated to our psyches.

|
|
308 "We're sorry, Trainor. I don't know about the others, but I was
|
|||
|
|
309 thinking about the significance, the importance of our journey." Emu
|
|||
|
|
310 was the first to respond to Trainor's plea, then went right back to
|
|||
|
|
311 work. "Apogee in the 300 degree range, Bard."
|
|||
|
|
312 "Check. Coming in from the jump; one more jump before planet-
|
|||
|
|
313 fall. Bringing in inertial damp..." Bard's voice trailed off.
|
|||
|
|
314 "Bard, would you check your stream modulators? We're gatting a huge
|
|||
|
|
315 flux in the ship's gravity." Emu held himself in place as he felt him-
|
|||
|
|
316 self rapidly lose weight, and just as rapidly regain it. At the same
|
|||
|
|
317 time, in another part of the ship, Fencer found out why special toilets
|
|||
|
|
318 are needed in zero-gee environments.
|
|||
|
|
319 Whan Bard didn't answer, Emu turned to look at him. Following his
|
|||
|
|
320 wide-eyed stare, he caught the fading glimmer that was where Piper had
|
|||
|
|
321 been standing. The pretty blue and green bubbles of light boiled and
|
|||
|
|
322 popped, falling slowly into themselves, finally disappearing with a
|
|||
|
|
323 distinct "pop".
|
|||
|
|
324 "gods almighty..." Lady Tayree gasped.
|
|||
|
|
325 "By the wings of Ariel," Bard cried, "I've never seen that before.
|
|||
|
|
326 Quick Emu, can you trace Piper with your tracker? I'll hold our position
|
|||
|
|
327 here."
|
|||
|
|
328 Emu started at Bard's words, then realized what he had said. "Uh, yeah
|
|||
|
|
329 , hold on ..." He turned and started tuning for Piper. Setting for line
|
|||
|
|
330 input, he tied the tracker to the ship's scanners. On a strong hunch, he
|
|||
|
|
331 first scanned the area of the ZEB creature. Sure enough, Piper's trace
|
|||
|
|
332 was there, right in the middle of the entity. The tracker showed that
|
|||
|
|
333 Piper's brain waves were near-normal, except for a disturbing intermittent
|
|||
|
|
334 dip in the alpha activity.
|
|||
|
|
335 Tin Man came rushing in, followed closely by Fencer, who was wiping
|
|||
|
|
336 something from his tunic, and Cragmore, who was trying to control Fencer's
|
|||
|
|
337 dog. The dog was evidently very disturbed by the sudden grav shifts, as
|
|||
|
|
338 was everyone.
|
|||
|
|
339 "What happened?" demanded Trainor.
|
|||
|
|
340 Lady Tayree nervously explained. "piper and i were watching the viewin
|
|||
|
|
341 g screens, when he started to shimmer. i tried to grab him, but there was
|
|||
|
|
342 nothing solid to hold. the shimmer started bubbling in reds and yellows,
|
|||
|
|
343 then changed to greens and blues. then he was gone..."
|
|||
|
|
344 "I've got him on the scanners, now..." Emu continued, "... and he
|
|||
|
|
345 seems to be okay. Believe it or not, he's right in the middle of our
|
|||
|
|
346 friendly neighborhood anomaly."
|
|||
|
|
347 Bard looked at Cragmore. "You've got psi background, don't you? Can
|
|||
|
|
348 you contact Piper, find out what's happening?"
|
|||
|
|
349 "I can try. Can you give me an idea where and when he is in relation
|
|||
|
|
350 to us?"
|
|||
|
|
351 "Our time, and only five parsecs distant. Can you work with that?"

355 Yes, the dark winds of approaching gloom can be frightening indeed. How
|
|||
|
|
356 to avoid them, how to make the decisions that must be made? Look deep
|
|||
|
|
357 into your soul, listen to your feelings. Be true to yourself. Fear of
|
|||
|
|
358 risk, fear of choosing wrong, fear of being hurt; these are what inhibit
|
|||
|
|
359 the choice. The longer the decisions are put off, the closer and faster
|
|||
|
|
360 the darkness comes. To do what is right for yourself. What is right? How
|
|||
|
|
361 can we know that the choice made is the proper one? Life is a series of
|
|||
|
|
362 risks. We can only listen to our feelings, and make the best choice we
|
|||
|
|
363 can. When we hide behind our mask of fear we only hurt ourselves.

404 Tin was feeling a bit bewildered, and a bit light headed as well, but that
|
|||
|
|
405 was due to the ships gravity problem (or maybe that whiff of scotch). He
|
|||
|
|
406 was lost as to the reasons behind the fade-out of their companion, but the
|
|||
|
|
407 gravity problem was a bit more along his line. After a bit of snooping it
|
|||
|
|
408 became obvious that somehow a bit of hair or fur had been caught in one of the
|
|||
|
|
409 control contacts. The dog was not to blame, the colors didn't match.
|
|||
|
|
410 "I've located the problem with the ships gravity. Everyone hold on to some-
|
|||
|
|
411 thing, I've got to turn the system off for a seco

|||
|
|
412 (line noise).. to get things working again. And someone grab the dog. Giving
|
|||
|
|
413 everyone a moment to anchor themselves, he cut the power to the gravity control
|
|||
|
|
414 and pulled the offending contact to clean it off. It took a bit longer than
|
|||
|
|
415 the promised second, but in less than a minute he had the contact back and the
|
|||
|
|
416 power restored.

|

|
|
425 passed in algiers... benghazi... and cairo... technometers are sometimes too
|
|||
|
|
426 flashy... sometimes too accurate... tilean grimaced at the click the watch
|
|||
|
|
427 made... it was beginning to annoy the other agents...
|
|||
|
|
428 they stood at the airport... gray cement stretched out flatly for yards...
|
|||
|
|
429 then the desert stretched ever farther... someone clicked their heels... a
|
|||
|
|
430 tie flew up in the breeze... sall four agents waited...
|
|||
|
|
431 finally a jeep arrived... it turned a tight circle and some men wearing
|
|||
|
|
432 arab costumes... straight out of the movies... hopped out and shuffled the
|
|||
|
|
433 agents into the jeep... it turned tightly once again and sped down the flat
|
|||
|
|
434 desert floor...
|
|||
|
|
435 tilean spoke to one of them... the other agents could not understand...
|
|||
|
|
436 he was making travel arrangements... getting each agent where he ought to go
|
|||
|
|
437 and when he ought to be... except himself... he would stay in the oasis...
|
|||
|
|
438 the oasis loomed above them... the trail of dust dispersed as the jeep
|
|||
|
|
439 slowed... the palm trees towered above them... and they had entered maradan
|
|||
|
|
440 oasis... the people from the market were chattering loudly... and the kids
|
|||
|
|
441 playing in the street made even more... it is hard to hear yourself think in
|
|||
|
|
442 maradan... the jeep slowed...
|
|||
|
|
443 the brakes squealed to a slow stop in front of the International Club...
|
|||
|
|
444 one of the building erected by the nazis during the war... and kept open by
|
|||
|
|
445 the many visitors to maradan... after all... where would they know to have
|
|||
|
|
446 each other assassinated...
|
|||
|
|
447 flies descended upon the jeep... everyone hopped off... allean's watch
|
|||
|
|
448 clicked again... the arabs stood as if they did not know where to go... then
|
|||
|
|
449 tilean realized... the arabs may not enter the International Club... that is
|
|||
|
|
450 only for those of european or far east descent...
|
|||
|
|
451 tilean led the way into the club... his hand pulled aside the soft cloak
|
|||
|
|
452 the covered the entrance... the dampness flooded out at him... the sunlight
|
|||
|
|
453 flooded past him... into the club... his agents found their way inside...
|
|||
|
|
454 tilean let go of the cloak... and everyone resumed chatting...
|
|||
|
|
455 a man with a turned up nose arrived at the scene... he wore a tuxedo...
|
|||
|
|
456 in stark contrast to the primitive entrance.. he asked about a reservation...
|
|||
|
|
457 soon they were seated at a table and waiting to be told where to go...
|
|||
|

466 The piper swam in what seemed to be a soft grey fog. At first, there was
|
|||
|
|
467 the slight sensation of a breeze -- a feeling of motion, either of himself or
|
|||
|
|
468 the medium surrounding him. Later, whether he simply stopped moving, moved
|
|||
|
|
469 with the wind, or stopped feeling it, the sensation of motion stopped.
|
|||
|
|
470 The tempurature was not hot, not cold -- no sensations reached his skin. The
|
|||
|
|
471 unrelieved grey seemed to soak into his eyes, a thick, uniformly illuminated
|
|||
|
|
472 fog of undetermined thickness. The light and heat seemed unvarying, a thick
|
|||
|
|
473 sensation of incredible ennui.
|
|||
|
|
474 Only gradually did the piper begin to realize a change. Tiring of the
|
|||
|
|
475 monotony of the grey fog (the piper was a firm believer that when something
|
|||
|
|
476 occured, one should wait patiently if possible until the situation became
|
|||
|
|
477 more clear) the piper began rummaging by touch in his sporran. His fingers
|
|||
|
|
478 seemed to have almost no sensation. Lifting his hands, the piper was
|
|||
|
|
479 greeted by almost no changes in the soft grey surrounding him.
|
|||
|
|
480 A sharp bolt of fear filled the piper. He placed his palms tightly over
|
|||
|
|
481 his eyes, and could see only a slight darkening of the greyness that surrounded
|
|||
|
|
482 him. Working from memory rather than a sense of touch, he reached up for
|
|||
|
|
483 his earlobe, grasped it tightly and twisted. He was rewarded by only a slight
|
|||
|
|
484 sensation of pressure, a nearly undetectable twinge.

I seem to be typing a double of every

|
|
504
|
|||
|
|
letter. Does anyone see this or just
|
|||
|
|
505
|
|||
|
|
me. Also it seems to be double spacing.
|

|

This is very wierd.

I'm looking for a program called ASCII Express, and DFX. If any
|
|||
|
|
511
|
|||
|
|
one has thoes programs and would like to swap for something, I
|
|||
|
|
512
|
|||
|
|
have many programs to choose from. Of course I have an Apple IIe.
|
|||
|
|
513
|

I have tons of arcade quality games and other stuff. The new 5.5

Copy II PLUS is among one of them.

523 "Emu, I hope you can do something FAST. From these readings it looks
|
|||
|
|
524 like Piper's sensory inputs are damped *way* down. At least as bad as a
|
|||
|
|
525 sensory deprivation tank..."
|
|||
|
|
526 Bard's thoughts flashed back over the years (all too many) to his
|
|||
|
|
527 training. He remembered the 'tank'. I f you goofed on your co-ordinates
|
|||
|
|
528 you might *literally* wind up 'nowhere'. Thus the tank sessions, to give
|
|||
|
|
529 you a chance to work out how to operate without sensory feedback.
|
|||
|
|
530 If Piper was 'normal' he'd have 15-30 minutes before he started
|
|||
|
|
531 getting too far out of touch with reality...

534 Sonic Screwdriver (sa'-ik skroo'-driv-er) n.: A small device commonly used
|
|||
|
|
535 for manipulative work. Uses vary, but include disintergrating small objects
|
|||
|
|
536 (.5 cm^3 or smaller), and manipulation of objects without actual physical
|
|||
|
|
537 contact. Noted to be exceedingly useful in the opening of locks of all sorts.

540 The Doctor had little trouble with the lock, and we gained the foyer. The
|
|||
|
|
541 interior of the house struck me as odd- for there was no furnishings. Scrap
|
|||
|
|
542 papers scuttled back and forth across the floor, as if hurrying to find the
|
|||
|
|
543 remainder of their comrades. Perhaps the wind that followed us through the
|
|||
|
|
544 door was really to blame. Whatever the cause, one scrap in particular caught
|
|||
|
|
545 my eye, and I grabbed for it. It read:
|
|||
|
|
546 [Translated from the Latin, which is in no manner like the Latin of this line
|
|||
|
|
547 anyway, to a rough approximation of English]
|
|||
|
|
548 A Proclamation, the Seven Thousand Four Hundred Fifty-Eighth such made by Our
|
|||
|
|
549 Esteemed Leader, Yule Frenbunder:
|
|||
|
|
550 On this day of June 15, the Frenbunder estate will be evacuated, and all
|
|||
|
|
551 objects within moved to the nearest suitable estate, until such time as the
|
|||
|
|
552 Odd and Exceedingly Strange Occurances in that vicinity cease. Patrols will
|
|||
|
|
553 inspect an area about the estate on a daily basis, in search of evidence to the
|
|||
|
|
554 effect that the Occurances have Indeed ceased.
|
|||
|
|
555 [Signed, in an exceedingly lavish and gaudy manner, Yule Frenbunder]
|
|||
|
|
556 "An explanation, Doctor. What we seek is truly within." I gave him the notice
|
|||
|
|
557 so he could read for himself. He scratched his head, and gazed at it. I
|
|||
|
|
558 snatched it back and read it to him. I'd forgotten the Doctor's inability
|
|||
|
|
559 with languages. (It rarely showed, but sometimes it was a severe handicap.
|
|||
|
|
560 Once he had tried to barter with a group of Cinsdians for a new scarf, and
|
|||
|
|
561 ended up calling the trader a 'erduhslytum'- an insult incomprehensible in
|
|||
|
|
562 English but unforgivable when dealing with a Cinsdian. It was three days
|
|||
|
|
563 before I could persuade their chief not to saute' him, and three more before
|
|||
|
|
564 they released him.)
|
|||
|
|
565 We set to work. The ground floor and two upper stories produced nothing, but
|
|||
|
|
566 our luck changed in the basement.
|
|||
|
|
567 Off to the left side of the damp chamber, a black oval hovered slightly above
|
|||
|
|
568 the concrete floor. It was utterly
|
|||
|
|
569 black, not the variety that reflected light somewhat. This ABSORBED it.
|
|||
|
|
570 "A Convolution, something I had not expected to see in my lifetime. This is
|
|||
|
|
571 the source of those presences I have felt, Doctor. This is a direct pipeline,
|
|||
|
|
572 a duct, through time, space, planes, and lines. The TARDIS brought us here,
|
|||
|
|
573 supposedly, because this is the nearest outlet. I wasn't sure such a thing was
|
|||
|
|
574 possible until now. To directly span all the dimensions at once, and to
|
|||
|
|
575 maintain it... the energy!"
|
|||
|
|
576 "Hold it, I'm trying to figure the equivalents in my head. Er, the output of
|
|||
|
|
577 two good-sized G stars would do it." The Doctor stopped. "We're going to
|
|||
|
|
578 mess with something that can harness THAT sort of energy?"
|
|||
|
|
579 "Unless you have a better idea."
|
|||
|
|
580 "Well......", the Doctor began.

583 "I think I can reach him, if he's not too far out." Cragmore emerged
|
|||
|
|
584 from a storage room where he had been examining some of the Pell-mell art-
|
|||
|
|
585 work in more detail. "If I can grab piper in psi, we should be able to
|
|||
|
|
586 guide the ship using Emu's device and my directions."
|
|||
|
|
587 Gragmore settled down on the metal floor of the ship. He pressed his
|
|||
|
|
588 back hard against the wall, his neck and head in perfect alignment with
|
|||
|
|
589 his spinal column. He closed his eyes tightly, and a look of incredible
|
|||
|
|
590 concentration spread across his darkened face. For another moment he was
|
|||
|
|
591 motionless, and then his outstretched arms began to curl inward towards
|
|||
|
|
592 his chest. Sweat began to form on Cragmore's brow. His hands spread out
|
|||
|
|
593 until the fingers were as wide as his joints would allow. He pressed them
|
|||
|
|
594 together in an isometric manner, and then sat still again. No sound, no
|
|||
|
|
595 movement, for several moments, until, "I see him... I am near him. Piper!
|
|||
|
|
596 Piper! Can you hear me? Look out, ignore what your body tells you and
|
|||
|
|
597 listen to your mind. The mind's eye! The third eye! Listen and see. Piper!
