|
|
30 We exist in two worlds,
|
|
31 the inner and the outer.
|
|
32 The inner world is that of the mind and spirit.
|
|
33 The outer world is that of external reality.
|
|
34 All conflicts are between
|
|
35 the inner and outer worlds;
|
|
36 yet all we know of the outer world
|
|
37 are the impressions of its existence
|
|
38 received by the inner.
|
|
39 Are then these conflicts real-
|
|
40 or are they but the phantoms
|
|
41 of our quarrelsome minds?
|
|
42 If they are real, then how can we know this?
|
|
43 If they are illusion,how can we know this?
|
|
44 The search for truth is the search for consistency;
|
|
45 for an identity of form and content
|
|
46 in the two worlds.
|
|
47 Only that which exists in both worlds-
|
|
48 in the single outer world and in
|
|
49 all the inner worlds
|
|
50 of all people
|
|
51 can be said to partake of reality.
|
|
52 Inner truth
|
|
53 when it is that only
|
|
54 is the truth of the spirit.
|
|
55 It can be as real as iron or fire
|
|
56 in the inner world
|
|
57 and its effects there can be
|
|
58 as definite;
|
|
59 and that it does not partake of reality
|
|
60 does not diminish it.
|
|
61 The mountain brook is not shamed
|
|
62 that it does not have the power of the vast ocean;
|
|
63 for it to be a brook
|
|
64 and fulfill a brook's destiny
|
|
65 is the full measure of value that can be given.
|
|
66 The actions we practice on the external world,
|
|
67 the world of stone or wood or flower,
|
|
68 matter little.
|
|
69 These actions may be illusion
|
|
70 and they may not-
|
|
71 but even the reality of their effects
|
|
72 will fade away with the passage of time.

77 No need to call for transportation, The Lazy One said. He pulled something

92 To: LYSIAS
|
|
93 Subject: NET membership
|
|
94 The first step in gaining NET membership is to appear in person
|
|
95 at either the PorSFiS meeting, or the PC&S meeting after.
|
|
96 There your application will be reviewed by the highest ranking members
|
|
97 of the NETWORK, using a stringent and HIGHLY arbitrary rating system.
|
|
98 If you pass this, you will be admitted to the lower ranks of the NETWORK,
|
|
99 until such time as you have proven your value to the NETWORK.
|
|
100 If such an event were actually to occur, you would be re-evaluated and
|
|
101 , if evidence indicates, be invited to join the elite of the NETWORK.
|
|
102
|
|
103 Incentive to join: The desire to graduate from the level of 'system phreaker'
|
|
104 to the intellectually more satisfying realm of Human Being.
|
|
105 Members of the NETWORK do not indulge in such infantile behavior as
|
|
106 trying to crash bulletin boards, but are rather dedicated to the
|
|
107 tracking down and elimination of such activities.
|
|
108 Membership in the NETWORK is not open to the plebeian, but is instead
|
|
109 a privilege of those whose higher moral character cries out for
|
|
110 relief from the juvenile babblings all too prevalent on the Backwater
|
|
111 Message System.

119 Aaron: I am interested in being the fourth in the archive buy.
|
|
120 Have the 30 or so dollars in my hot little hand.
|
|
121 As I use the same DOS as L'homme, hopefully we can work out some
|
|
122 adequate method of transference.
|
|
123 Alex: I have no problem with the 23rd for RISK. With the exception of
|
|
124 Monday/Tuesday evenings, I am amenable to most any day/time.
|

125 L'homme: After our conversation, I expected to log on here and find the

129 ALL ARCHIVE: well, assuming that the Ninja and Voyeur are not the one and
|
|
130 same, we have 5. I want to go for it as soon as we co-ordinate our format
|
|
131 differences. But, if a sixth shows up, individual copy cost would be
|
|
132 reduced to approx. $20 for the complete set. Additional takers? Printing
|
|
133 could be arranged, probably have it laser printed.

135 ALL Para-Psych: Sorry, you can't have my birthday. I was hoping something

136 more along the lines of projection, telek, etc..

142 L'homme: Gee, and I thought I was running for Secretary of BW Defence. Are
|
|
143 you involved with this NETWORK (ahem) game? I fear that MF&E is moving
|
|
144 towards a simple "MF". Checked up on my "a-lazing", eh? SOMEWHAT correct
|
|
145 you say? I'll bet I have a better "auntie a-lazing" algoritm than Mead!
|
|
146 Seems some basic theoretical research was done in a similar area in sig.
|
|
147 proc. a few years back, hasn't been applied to graphics, though the theory
|
|
148 (as you acknoledged) is the same. Even if I don't know nothin' 'bout
|
|
149 graphix! Nyah! On to other topics.. seems you and the adventure
|
|
150 have come to something of a stand-still. Too bad the Doc wouldn't let you
|
|
151 borrow his dimensional stabilizer... Might I suggest that this device..
|
|
152 maybe a computer.. maybe a very powerfull computer.. could help you out
|
|
153 of this situation itself? If you could find a floating input, perhaps
|
|
154 you could serialize a message....

160 Bard -- I doubt that power traces could help us. The scale voltage i
|
|
161 dangerous (like around 60 kv rough gess) and you need a moving magnetic
|
|
162 field to pick up anything by induction. We need to find a signal line
|
|
163 that has a fluctuating magnetic field -- your machine does have rectifying
|
|
164 inputs doesn't it? Input filtering and voltage limiting? With the rapid
|
|
165 rise and fall caused by square waves, we may end up with awfully spikey
|
|
166 power! Not waiting for the bard to answer the piper took a loop of cable
|
|
167 and arraomnged it along a likely looking trace.
|
|
168 As he worked he spoke: "My pipes are useless at this scale for several
|
|
169 reasons -- the viscosity of the air as bard mentioned, and the scale.
|
|
170 They are simple acoustical resonators -- imagine what their fundamental
|
|
171 frequency is at this scale! I could probably use them for cleaning teeth
|
|
172 if the frequency is not too high." The piper had not noticed the ninja
|
|
173 waking behind him. A rustle caused him to turn... to behold the most
|
|
174 terrifying sight of his life -- a charging ninja brandishing his dreaded
|
|
175 stick shift! Blanching, the piper took a single step backwards, stumbled,
|
|
176 and fell as the ninja slowly approached.
|
|
177 pppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppp
|
|
178 +++++++++ Now working on new code............... Milchar +++++++++++++++++++
|
|
179 Bard looked up in time to see the ninja attempt to attack Piper. He
|
|
180 responded by throwing a wrench at Ninja. The results of these attacks were
|
|
181 rather startling.
|
|
182 Bard's wrench describe an exceedingly odd curve, while Ninja was
|
|
183 dragged out of line by his stick shift. The magnetic field of the traces had
|
|
184 cancelled attacks.
|
|
185 Before Ninja could recover Bard had reached over and activated the
|
|
186 stasis. While everyone else was frozen, he bound the ninja and carried him
|
|
187 over to the car. He then restored the 'normal' time flow and started a scan
|
|
188 of the ninja. He soon spotted an anomaly in the scan.
|
|
189 Using great care (and VERY well insulated tongs) he placed the gem(?)
|
|
190 in a stasis capsule and switched the field on at the fourth quantum. There!
|
|
191 Turning to piper he commented, "Don't worry about whether or not
|
|
192 it's a signal trace. If it's a power trace I'll just use the MMF inputs
|
|
193 instead of EMF!"
|
|
194 They soon had the power packs charged. Voyeur took a look at a meter
|
|
195 while bard was charging them and turned white! In a short time, all was
|
|
196 ready. The furry animals had been coaxed into the pack (and everything
|
|
197 secured so that they couldn't hurt it (or themselves). Everyone was in place
|
|
198 waiting...
|
|
199 Bard entered the co-ordinates & typed "Execute".

|
|
201 The apprentice was almost at the inn when there was a loud "POP" behind
|
|
202 him. There in the middle of the road stood L'homme's "car". Climbing out
|
|
203 were Bard, voyeur, Piper, and a stranger with a wolf!

241 T BOOK STORES. IF YOU FIND THE KEY, YOU WILL KNOW WHAT BOOK TO GET, BUT YOU MAY
|
|
242 NOT NEED IT
|
|
243 IN THE SECOND FORM, IT IS ALWAYS PRESENT, EVERYWHERE, BUT NO ONE CAN SEE IT.
|
|
244 IN THE THIRD, IT IS IN THE WORDS THEMSELVES; IF ANYONE HAS A CERTAIN HOBBY, IT W
|
|
245 ILL BE VERY EASY, ESPECIALLY IN LOWER CASE.
|
|
246
|
|
247 WHILE THE KEY (FIRST FORM) IS IN THAT BOOK, THE USE OF THE KEY IS UNIQUE, AND WI

294 Coutrthouse, when a strange 'portal' opens in front of him. Being in midair,

348 Well although I'm not really here, I can still make comments until I leave.

349 To J.C and the Boys...
|
|
350 That is an awfully tacky name. That is in poor taste, it is a good way
|
|
351 to offend a whole lot of people. Secondly, I meant comic relief in that I
|
|
352 am different than all the super heros here, because I make mistakes. And if
|
|
353 you think J.C. and the Boys is funny, you are the one with the peverted sense
|
|
354 of humor. Also, where to you get the authority to tell what is good for
|
|
355 computing and lfe in general? By divine right? I doubt it. Sinse I do
|
|
356 not know who many are in your little " club ", I will address a message to

358 To Saint Peter - I cannot tell if you agree with the previous message

359 put here, but you could at least give your real name on CBBS. Or is

417 ($<#+"($<#$'#"
|
|
418 As everyone piled in the car, bard shouted "Hang on!", and with that, he
|
|
419 flipped a switch on his console, and everything went black..er white...er
|
|
420 green...er..well everything went.... Sounds and sights that had never reached
|
|
421 the eyes of L'homme did so. And after a time so short it seemed like an
|
|
422 eternity (this is reality hoping eh?), things started to settle down so a
|
|
423 somewhat normal (although this entire adventure has been anything but normal).
|
|
424 As the smoke and dust cleared, and the sunlight poked itself through the
|
|
425 dirty windows of a battered but alive 1967 mustang, the occupants of said
|
|
426 car opened the doors and poured out onto the dirt road. L'homme, piper, voyyeur,
|
|
427 bard, dreamtoucher, snow runner, a grogy ninja, habitrail harry, and several
|
|
428 other small creatures had indeed arrived. "But where?", thought L'homme. This
|
|
429 isn't the road to Tek! Oh hell! I give up! So I miss out on a 28k/year
|
|
430 starting systems programmer job on the local vax 780. I may not know where
|
|
431 I am here, but I can learn. And everyone else seems to be quite happy about
|
|
432 the whole situation. And as the saying goes, 'When in Rome etc etc etc...'
|
|
433 "Come on!" shouted bard. "This way! We are back! The Inn!!!". L'homme
|
|
434 followed the others, and took one long glance at his beloved car. "It'll bbe
|
|
435 OK here", said voyeur. "This is a low crime area." L'homme caught up with the
|
|
436 others, and they all rushed to the place called the Inn.
|
|
437 In the excitement, everyone had forgotten about the "egg" Bard had placed in
|
|
438 what he called a "stasis" field. It lay in the back seat of the car, glowing,
|
|
439 humming, and definitly making some attempt at movement. What problems this
|
|
440 little "egg" could bring to the Inn and its users, no one can say at the
|
|
441 moment, but wouldn't that make a great next adventure??? (HINT HINT HINT)

456 The piper followed his friends, travel stained and weary into the inn.
|
|
457 After downing several large containers of the inn's frothy brew, he turned
|
|
458 to the bard, "Where did you put our fuzzy little friends?"
|
|
459 Hearing that the bard had turned them out of his pack to fend for
|
|
460 themselves, the piper poured a portion of the brew into a saucer, and when
|
|
461 no one was watching slid it down next to a suspicious hole near the floor.

463 Sorry, I did not mean for my msg to come across that way. It was aimed

464 only at that one group. I did not know where to reply, except where I got

465 the msg. I assume that everyone can't hate me here, although a large

466 majority might think I'm a pest. Don't worry, I leave in 6 hours for England.

469 L'homme, Voyeur, etc: Sorry, but we didn't seem to be getting anywhere. The only
|
|
470 real plot development was ninja & I had no desire to fight THAT battle in our
|
|
471 previous location.
|
|
472 As for the stasis field, if it starts to hum, glow, or do ANYTHING at
|
|
473 all in less than a trillion years... Bard will be the the first to run like mad!
|
|
474 (The time factor is about 1E18 to 1!) Of course, I'm gonna get curious and open

475 my little stasis box....

551 Jericho stepped out onto the terrace of his Ney York apartment. His eyes
|
|
552 wandered over the city that he called home. He thought about all the good
|
|
553 adventures that he had before coming to this time. Jericho has a special
|
|
554 'talent' that allows him to travel through the rifts in the Space/Time fabric.
|
|
555 He gained this ability about 5 years ago when he allowed the Army to try out
|
|
556 a new Anti-Truth serum drug on him. The drug did strange things to the
|
|
557 chemicals in his body. Now Jericho, as he now calls himself, can go wherever
|
|
558 and whenever that he wishes. "Enough reminising, Jericho." he tells himself.
|
|
559 He gets up, and walks over to the closet, and pulls on a special hanger.
|
|
560 The closet's back wall slides aeway to reveal a secret room filled with mass
|
|
561 equipment. He dons is uniform, and walks through time.
|
|
562 When he emerges, he realizes that he is at the Inn his father had told
|
|
563 him stories about. His father was one of the greatest men of his time. Which-
|
|
564 ever time that he happened to be in. Jericho's father was the man known as
|
|
565 The Doctor. The same Doctor that had to steal the Presidential Septre from
|
|
566 Galifrey in order to get the Key to Time. The same Doctor that had ventured
|
|
567 back in time to save the wine. The same Doctor that had been appointed to the
|
|
568 Lord President's Seat. Jericho's father was a great man. Now it is up to
|
|
569 Jericho to be as great as The Doctor. Jericho walks up to the Inn, waits for
|
|
570 a moment, then enters...

592 A stranger in a red cape walked by the car. He noticed a strange humming
|
|
593 from the back seat, and noticed an egg. As he looked at it, it cracked, and
|
|
594 in a great flash of light the shell vanished into a powder.
|
|
595 "Zounds! The Rothman Ruby!" the stranger shrieked. And indeed, sitting

|
596 on the seat, glowing slightly and jiggling through no obvious source of
|
|
597 power, was that famous Ruby. It had been stolen some thousand years ago
