|
||
46 on
|
||
47 Suddenly there sat Sten his his flight chair outside the Inn looking
|
||
48 just a little bit confused. "Schulman! SCHULMAN!" he screamed into his
|
||
49 radio, "You messed up BAD this time! Looks like you transfered me onto
|
||
50 the surface of one of the surounding planets. Knowing you, I'm on mars."
|
||
51 "Sorry, I tried to do it right this time. I have the text book right
|
||
52 here, I was following the instructions. There was one thing though, while
|
||
53 you were transfering over there was a small difficulty." Schulman radioed
|
||
54 back.
|
||
55 "What, what MINOR difficulty?" Sten sat there looking about at the
|
||
56 few people who were coming and going from a nearby tavern.
|
||
57 "Well...there was some smoke and then some sparks. I thought it might
|
||
58 be something else, other than you." Schulman sat looking at a burnt section
|
||
59 of the control panel. "It looks kind of bad."
|
||
60 "WHAT?!? Can you fix it?"
|
||
61 "I don't build these things, I just try and use them."
|
||
62 "Well TRY and fix it! I don't want to be stuck down here forever!"
|
||
63 Pacing around an old tree. "Better yet, when you get it fixed you can
|
||
64 come down here too!"
|
||
65 "I'll see what I can do."
|
||
66 "Next time I'll transfer YOU to my ship! Talk to you later. Sten
|
||
67 off!"
|
||
68 "Okay! Schulman off"
|
||
69 There have been screw-ups before with these new transferers but this
|
||
70 takes the cake. But now, now Sten will have to see what kind of a mess
|
||
71 he is in this time. Earlier he noticed a tavern close by, they should
|
||
72 have food there too.
|
||
73 Walking into the Inn, Sten ordered whatever they make from the back
|
||
74 and went to see if he could find a table. Never before has he seen so
|
||
75 many people in one place. There must be hundreds of people... Finally
|
||
76 there was an empty table so Sten sat down and waited for his meal and
|
||
77 drink.

|
||
146 Nathan sipped the ginger ale and pondered the
|
||
147 situation.
|
||
148 " You know ", he said to the fellow next to him, " I
|
||
149 really am not sure this all exists. It doesn't look
|
||
150 remotely like my bedroom. In fact I've never seen this
|
||
151 tavern anywhere around my apartment, very less my loft."
|
||
152 Nathan's voice lowered to an inaudable mumble. The
|
||
153 patrons at the Inn took no notice of the small man
|
||
154 having a mid life crisis. There seemed to be so many
|
||
155 people arriving and disapearing that not much notice was
|
||
156 paid to anything.
|
||
157 Nathan's voice became silent. He put his briefcase on
|
||
158 the counter and proceed to take some items out. He
|
||
159 pulled his reading glasses and sliped them on. They
|
||
160 hung on the tip of his oversized nose making him look
|
||
161 exteremely bookish, but put him at ease.
|
||
162 He pulled out an old issue of The New Yorker,
|
||
163 yesterdays Times and a dog eared copy of the Banana
|
||
164 Republic catalog and droped to the counter. He
|
||
165 carefully put his portable CD player on top of his
|
||
166 magazines. He then took out a notebook labled
|
||
167 " Compositions " and opened it up. He pulled out a
|
||
168 mechanical pencil and put the tip to the top of page
|
||
169 number one. Then he waited for inspiration.
|
||
170 And waited.
|
||
171 Finally, for seemed an eternity to Nathan ( but was
|
||
172 really no more than five minutes ), he withdrew the
|
||
173 pencil and put everything back into the briefcase.
|
||
174 Thoughts raced though his head. " Where am I?", "How
|
||
175 do I get home?", "Can you get the Times from here?",
|
||
176 "What will my analyst think?" and " Do they have
|
||
177 bathrooms here?".
|
||
178 His head slumped to the counter making a small thump.
|
||
179 Barely audible Nathan asked:
|
||
180 " Can I have another ginger ale?"

184 Hmmm....Gee I wish I could leave e-mail on forementioned phone number.
|

185 However, I cannot because I make it a rule not to call long distance unless I
|
||
186 have a specific task, and e-mail can be done on other systems.
|
||
187 Why is it long distance to me? I don't know. Ask the phone company that
|
||
188 says that I cannot call certain phone numbers because I live too far east. If
|
||
189 I did not live in Troutdale, and lived 8 miles west of here, then I could call.
|
||
190 (By the way---we have no phone numbers that the people in Portland CANT call,

191 they get all, we get some.)

222 Emu noticed a new arrival to the Inn as he walked in and asked for
|
||
223 the light switch. "Obviously confused," was Emu's prognosis. The new
|
||
224 arrival looked around and saw the bar, went up and ordered a ginger ale.
|
||
225 Emu decided that it was time for a refill, not to mention a closer view
|
||
226 of this stranger, so he sauntered up to the bar himself.
|
||
227 The gentleman was fiddling with his papers and with an unrecognizable
|
||
228 black box, though probably of earthly origin, by the markings. Then Emu
|
||
229 saw something that he hadn't seen in years! It brought back many great
|
||
230 memories of Earth, primarily of a province called 'New York'. Emu gazed
|
||
231 and sighed. When his refill was finally granted ("It's getting busy here,
|
||
232 and the proprietor off gallivanting in who knows where or when" he
|
||
233 snorted) Emu spoke.
|
||
234 "Hi, I see you're new around here. My name's Emu. Can I read your

318 Fungi grew in piles above other fungi. Spores dusted the air as one
|
||
319 person after another of the entourage disturbed them. Seeds stuck to th
|
||
320 fine robes of Milchar. A slimy thing left a trail as it crawled inside
|
||
321 the vehicle.
|
||
322 It was a mess. Though the sparse bits of technology had transported
|
||
323 them safely across the planet, no one knew why. From astonished bits of
|
||
324 conversation, the Former learned the people were plain confused.
|
||
325 Rather than waiting for someone to approach him about what had
|
||
326 appened or why, the Former decided to sit down. The most solid place,
|
||
327 with no slimy trails, was the ground plate of the transporter. It was
|
||
328 d to the touch
|
||
329 If there was anything to look at that didn't look confused, it was te
|
||
330 inside of the transporter. A plate of metal had been left loosely
|
||
331 astened, so it was easily tossed aside.
|
||
332 A sparking series of differently colored cables were hidden above th
|
||
333 plate. Low and behold, these had snatched the Innkeeper from his spot
|
||
334 nd the bar, ad dropped him nearby. A simple error for a transporter
|
||
335 to make, why once- No, that's a risque story for another time.
|
||
336 The Former looked back at the scene of confusion. It was slightly
|
||
337 herent the. The Piper had everyone putting on oxygen atmosphere
|
||
338 packs from the wrecked vehicle, and the people seemed to be arriving at
|
||
339 sensible theories about what had happened.
|
||
340 Then it struck him. The sparking wires, they had to be still
|
||
341 operational! The Former detached the primary power cable from the
|
||
342 ansporter and the sparks stopped their crackling.
|
||
343 "Fellas," The Former said, standing to his full frame, "We might nt
|
||
344 be the only ones involved in the accident, and if there are more, we hae
|
||
345 to help them home,"

354 Former -- I'm a trifle confused. We're in the ailien's house/workshop?
|
||
355 correct? We've got an oxygen atmosphere presently, but this is a bubble
|
||
356 in a chlorine atmospere planet. Oxygen packs seem like a good idea, and
|
||
357 so does some sort of eye protection (ever get chlorine in your eyes?)
|
||
358 We can expect the chlorine to diffuse back in fairly quickly, oxygen is
|
||
359 VERY corrosive and could be expected to destroy chlorine-based life.
|

360 By the way, you did go through some sort of transformation, did you
|

361 not? what do you look like now?

388 In the past, this nation's rebels and revolutionaries were great men and women of high mind and immense strength. Our
|
||
389 Paul Reveres and our Nathan Hales set this country on a course of magnitude never seen before in the history of the world.
|
||
390 As the years flow onward, rushing towards a future with ever increasing speed, those individuals who dreamt of greatness
|
||
391 went onward too, never stopping for the masses, who are always three steps behind. If they should stop, so should our whole
|
||
392 ideal of living. In every Man there exists an infinitesimally small yet powerful urge to do greatness. the movers and
|
||
393 shakers utilize this urge to its greatest extent, changing the world in their eyes, allowing the followers to come along
|
||
394 for the ride. On the other end of the evolutionary scale, those people who manifest the urge for greatness in psuedo-
|
||
395 pious rituals take great care to make their science exacting, when in reality all they are doing is shifting the blame
|
||
396 of their own functional inability to the realm of the unknown and all-powerful. They seem acceptance and power in numbers,
|
||
397 because they have no power and no pull on their own. They are not people unto themselves, they are crustaceans living off
|
||
398 the shoreline of humanity, like leeches sucking blood from a living working animal. Parasites that are not symbiotic are
|
||
399 the worst creatures known to man. They exist wholly has an adjunct to free vivacity and continued growth. They are a
|
||
400 scurge on the face of all that lives for live. They seek their countenance with darkness because darkness is the only light
|
||
401 their blind eyes can see. Mankind is unimpressed with their wimpers, but unfortunately is unable to disrupt their carrion
|
||
402 beaks from the flesh of all that lives, so they, in their horrid splendor, live on, and multiply, because some minds are weak
|
||
403 and the allure of darkness is great for those who have never seen the light.

|
||
420 Piper, the Former is a tall white dog, who walks erect on two legs. His
|
||
421 paws are adapted to the tasks of manipulating or walking. In that respect, I
|
||
422 guess, he is no less suited to technology than the others here.
|
||
423 The alien home is an enormous mushroom or mycological accident. The part
|
||
424 we occupy is inside the umbrella portion. It is reasonably mushy in here and
|
||
425 the creepy crawlies are not helping any.
|
||
426 I filled the chamber with an oxygen atmosphere generator, and the generator
|
||
427 is not going to wear down. In respect for the alien's home, I guess we are
|
||
428 going to switch to atmosphere packs. Chlorine being better for the structure
|
||
429 of the home, and it's owner.
|
||
430
|
||
431 Man in Gray, the scratches in the lens are being repaired tomorrow. I left
|
||
432 Cassandra there. She says she found the money to do repairs in the kitchen,
|
||
433 those sacks of sugar maybe? Oh well. The ammunition those guys left in the
|
||
434 walls is going to stay, no one knows how to get it out.
|
||
435 Retch is driving a lot. I found him locking the garage doors, ready to go
|
||
436 home for the night. He was sure upset when I told him it was time for work.
|
||
437 I wonder where he goes at night.

|
||
441 Let's see.... We've got Bard(me), Piper, the Innkeeper, Milchar, Cragmore,
|
||
442 the Former, & the alien (whose name escapes me at the moment).
|
||
443 The Former apparently has his own gear. The alien doesn't need any.
|
||
444 I've got my gear. The Innkeeper seems to not need any gear.
|
||
445 That leaves Piper, Milchar and Cragmore. Piper gets one of my spare
|
||
446 suits. I've got *one* more....
|
||
447 Milchar? Are you up to protecting yourself?
|
||
448 Cragmore, I don't recall whether or not you arrived outside. (so much
|
||
449 has happened since then).
|
||
450 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
|
||
451 Helpful descriptions: The conveyer is somewhat larger than a motor home
|
||
452 (Winnebsgo & the like), but larger and more "streamlined". If it isn't
|
||
453 right side up we have *major* problems. (you try climbing out an airlock
|
||
454 that is on the ceiling!).
|
||
455 As previously stated, the interior has about as much room as a camper van.
|
||
456 (the shift gear, powerplant, and contragravity units take up most of the
|
||
457 space, equipment, supplies & life support take up the rest).
|
||
458 My suit (and spares) is basicly an impermeable coverall, that seals to
|
||
459 "plastic" boots. Gloves can be sealed to the wrists, and a light duty
|
||
460 "helmet" is rolled up like a hood. A stronger bubble helmet will seal to
|
||
461 the neck. Without support pack, (around 7 kilos) the suit is good for maybe
|
||
462 30 minutes. With the pack, it's good til you need to eat or excrete.

|

477 indeed, mr. siverman. indeed! what a bunch of crap! whenever people
|
||
478 start whipping out phrases like "crustaceans living in the shorelines
|
||
479 of the beach of humanity", well, my crap detector beeps a coupla times.
|
||
480 please, get real. society is not a happy family as you see it. there
|
||
481 are not really Evil people, except in the comic books. and the
|
||
482 "evil" (smalll "e") are just looking at good from a different perspective.
|
||
483 Satanism (and i will say that nearly all satanists, including i, do
|
||
484 not believe in satan as a red dude with horns and a pitchfork and
|
||
485 a pointy tail) sees the world through a different set of eyes than
|
||
486 say christianity, but it is the Goodest and Trueist religion ever. we
|
||
487 do not advocate violence, quite the opposite. we are for the policy
|
||
488 of "avenge yourself against your enemies" and "give your friendship
|
||
489 to those who deserve it, but dont "love thy enemy"". this is astringent
|
||
490 in the eyes of some, but it is reality, the real world. if you want to
|
||
491 extend your hand to a mugger who just ripped you off to make friends,
|
||
492 you are a fool and deserve what you get, which probably wont be good.
|
||
493 i watched "the 700 club" today, as it is good for laughs,
|
||
494 and saw some more christians imposing or trying to impose their beliefs
|
||
495 n others. today, they were upset because the textbook writters
|
||
496 didnt include the "positive effects" of christianity being "given" to
|
||
497 the indians in central-south am., but how they did "shockingly" only
|
||
498 mention that "christianity was imposed on the indians." it is a fact:
|
||
499 CHRISTIANITY WAS *IMPOSED* ON THE INDIANS, and they deny it. what good
|
||
500 did this do to the indians as they claimed? well, cortez destroyed the
|
||
501 entire aztec civilization in a year or so, and they were totally wiped
|
||
502 from the face of the globe. how about the "holy wars"?
|
||
503 is the slaughter of 20 million people (mostly children too) a good
|
||
504 thing? the monks encouraging people to go sure thought so....for what
|
||
505 reason too? a border dispute. it didnt matter. "god" doesnt give a crap
|
||
506 about earth, a infinately tiny part of the know universe. we are so
|
||
507 incomprehensibly meaningless in the universe. incomprehensable! we
|
||
508 are so proud, why cant there be life on other planets? it will hurt
|
||
509 our 1-1 relationship with an imaginary
|
||
510 god. where would we be now if the total scientific and socio-econmoic
|
||
511 life of the world hadnt stagnated for 1000 years during the 100%
|
||
512 religiously controlled "dark ages"? i wonder.....i wonder.....

|

518 Dear Mr. Doughnut Man.....
|
||
519
|
||
520 Well aren't we being Nihilistic? The truth is, I agree with many of your
|
||
521 basic premises, but you support them rather negatively. The Church may be
|
||
522 a load of bunk, but for many people it is their only source of comfort.
|
||
523 Think about it. Some people can only heal themselves through the use of
|
||
524 placebos. They need to think that something else, either higher or more
|
||
525 intelligent, is helping them. It relives the burden of having to know the
|
||
526 whole burden is on their little human shoulders. And I think that Church
|
||
527 is a placebo for the Masses that cannot figure these things out for
|
||
528 themselves, cannot bear the brunt of the responsibility of having to find
|
||
529 the divinity in themselves. There is, in my opinion, no big, bearded man
|
||
530 sitting in the clouds, but a shared, common divinity that everyone shares
|
||
531 and draws on/. And by condemning the Church, you are condemning a goodly
|
||
532 number of people to a small, if not nonexistent slice of the deistic pie.
|
||
533 My mom always told me that that was greedy.
|
||
534 But you are right about the Dark ages. In most cases, the Church is run
|
||
535 by human beings as lost as the masses they try to heal.
|
||
536
|
||
537 P.S. to PenDragon.. Finally got a good debate to comment on, didn't I?

||

544 ***********************************
|
||
545 to: DOUGHNUT man
|
||
546 Id also like to make a commint about that qote.
|
||
547 "GOD DOESNT GIVE A CRAP ABOUT EARTH" unqote
|
||
548 Well I think your might be right about
|
||
549 him not caring about the planet, but he
|
||
550 definitly does care about the souls on it.
|
||
551 becouse if you look at it this way.
|
||
552 When Lucifer was casted out of Heaven their
|
||
553 was only 1/3rd that wint whith him, but since
|
||
554 man (& woman) has come into exsistance, Hell has been filling up
|
||
555 pretty fast, a lot faster then heaven.
|
||
556 Some one made a commint I think it was on
|
||
557 the previes disk,."for cristan is born there is satanist born."
|
||
558 Whut this person doesnt realise is that
|
||
559 every one brakes the ten commandments, which doesnt
|
||
560 mean their satanist, but it definitly doesnt make them a cristen
|
||
561 so actualy its more like for ever 10000 pepole born
|
||
562 1 true cristan might amerge, the others will be
|
||
563 miss led, desived, etc... Whut im try to say is,
|
||
564 When God created Man(`s soul) he created his own destruction
|
||
565 becouse he didnt ever suspect Lucifer
|
||
566 would brake free of his bonds, But oh well who want to live
|
||
567 for ever any ways....
|
||
568 & to that other commint, qote. "there are not
|
||
569 realy any Evil pepole exceptin the comic books" unqote..
|
||
570 (big E) Well then youve never met Me..!!!!!
|
||
571 & you said somthing about satan as a red dude
|
||
572 whith horns and a pitchfork. Well thats right
|
||
573 he doesnt look like something off of Heckel & Jeckel cartoon.
|
||
574 But does have Horns, not red skin, red symbolises Demons, if any
|
||
575 think it would be green(DEIVINE) or Blue(ANGELIC)
|
||
576 & no pitchfork A diffrent dude carrys that !!& its not a pitchfork
|
||
577 its a trident.. anyways 3 out of 10 he`s carrying around
|
||
578 the ribbin from Eve`s hair..
|
||
579 (not that I see him All the time)
|
||
580 thats just whut LUCIFUGEROFASALE is telling me right now.
|
||
581 He also telling me I sould be saying stuff like this to you
|
||
582 I dont no why, but oh well he hasnt throughn me
|
||
583 across the room yet so hes not to pissed off.
|
||
584 I just wanted to say if you think God doesnt care
|
||
585 about anything its becouse you just
|
||
586 dont fill his power in this world anymore, becouse he let it
|
||
587 slip through his fingers in to the fire......

|
||
594 A hand shook my shoulder, and I left the regions of sleep to return to the
|
||
595 surface world. I yawned.
|
||
596 Bard looked at me with a puzzled look on his face. "Are you okay, Milch? Can
|
||
597 you get your own air now? We're going to let the clorine back in here."
|
||
598 I shook my head to clear it. I felt much better than last I remembered...
|
||
599 almost *too* good. "Yes, I think I can. Keep something close by for
|
||
600 emergencies, though... just in case."
|
||
601 Bard nodded, and tried to keep his mind off his wrecked transporter by helping
|
||
602 the others to be able to survive the coming clorine.
|
||
603 I fumbled about for that pack of 3x5 cards. The search went much faster than
|
||
604 in the old days, when the cards were in only one order- random. Now I found
|
||
605 right card under "Survival" subsection "Breathing".
|
||
606 I read from the card, pronouncing each syllable clearly in my mind. A bubble
|
||
607 of clear air flowed into being, surrouding my head entirely. I fcarefully
|
||
608 gauged my expenditure of energy.
|
||
609 It was about an order of magnitude too small. What was going on?
|
||
610 Outside help? Not Cragmore- he had all he could do to endure the mental static
|
||
611 the alien produced; little bits of the pain drifted into Milchar's mind now
|
||
612 that I had some power to work with.
|
||
613 Milchar's Mind? Why had I thought that?
|
||
614 I hoped that the others could do without me for a bit, and examined the room
|
||
615 for mental disturbance other than the alien's. Could that be part of their
|
||
616 technology? Hmmm, that plant over there looked particularly interesting...
|
||
617 where had I seen one like it, with those transparent needles?
