Archivist Notes: We start off 2025 with one of the best sounding channeling sessions we have had the joy to adding to Ashtar Command archives. Our sound engineers got really good quality out of this recording from 1995 that brought six members of the command together for a very informative session. Our ring mistress Tia takes the opportunity to get things going by giving me an assignment where I will enlist the help of Karra and Alana in coaching a young lady who was just beginning to develop her psychic abilities. I would be traveling off the mountain each day to begin training her in mental shielding as Omal had started with us. The second assignment she was authorizing was for Mark to return to surveilling Groom Lake at Area 51 in his astral body for any new technology being developed. It was something Mark and I had started that the base had become interested in what we found. Assignments given, Tia turns the reins over to Omal for his turn speaking. What he helped me with is my questions on the differences between fifth and sixth dimensions. He explains that the base is sixth dimensional but enclosed in fifth dimensional work space. In later sessions would hear more about the room next to the gravity generators creating the effect. One topic that would come up here and also with Karra was the link between her and I being developed more strongly to where I could hear her on a more constant basis. Omal had some good tips for how to make that happen. We finish up on the world to come after humanity ascends to a higher dimensional Earth. He says what those humans will find guardians there who had been trained for the position that would teach them about their new world and new life. That leaves Kiri to get us to side two. Her training with me had been in coercion so we work on increasing the practice I was doing. To help in this, she provides four important tips in using the skill that make it sound pretty simple. What we do learn is that coercion acts within a frequency created by the user. Mind and voice combine to produce waves of a coercive frequency designed to overwhelm the normal frequency of a person who haven't yet developed mental shielding. She reminds me she had taken Champion coercer twice while in university so she knew the subject well. We end on how to create the coercive frequency which would be continued on side two.


My conversation with Kiri on side two is very short and ends with a bad joke before Wing Commander Taal pays us an infrequent visit and starts things off with a good joke. He was coming by to let me know that a pilot friend of mine had his first confirmed kill and thank Mark for his volunteering to be a guinea pig with the pilots deepwater rescue training. Taal reveals it wasn't a good experience for Mark due to a nosebleed acquired from the two and a half hours it took to get back up to the surface. That brings up the question of the reports of USO's being seen in the world's oceans. He tells his those are craft specially designed for undersea research and don't have the ability to fly in space. The bulk of our talk concerned his upcoming convoy duty he had planned. We learn that convoys can travel through hostile third dimensional space which is where they can get jumped and have to be defended. He then took off which brought Karra on to discuss the assignment given to me by Tia. The person in question had healing as a potential ability so we work on how best to help her develop that skill. We next cover the discussion from Omal about the new mindset we were to develop in which we could hear each other better. We had heard before that improving our telepathic connection was a step to doing that with people down here I had a connection with frequency wise. At the end of our talk we reminisce about my days when I used marijuana to create a better connection to her but had given it up as a dead-end. She explains that enough time had passed where we were able to start at getting back to improving the connection again as if I had never gotten high. Our last guest speaker of the night takes over from Karra to discuss some scheduled battle strategy. Unfortunately, Lyka found himself unable to do so because she needed pictures to properly demonstrate what she knew and that she was a bit tipsy from a flower she had eaten before the session. So the wargame training had to be put off but with a silver lining that I already had a board game down here which would serve our purposes perfectly. That left Tia to run the tape out so I asked her about whether or not she doodles. She reminded me of the potty humor of the question which came from being a mother of triplet daughters. So begins a discussion on a camping trip they had taken to the mountain above the base where they had hunted some rabbits. The four of them were descended from felines so mom was teaching her daughters skills from her home planet complete with individual hunting designs she had painted on each one's faces. We continue discussing the Cubs and how the one called Athena had gotten into an argument with her sister because she wanted to be the boss. It caused some friction which was finally resolved in the end. We finish up the channeling session with the revelation of Tia's real name before she took on a name she felt we would find easier. In her trying to get me to repeat it, it's easy to see why she decided on Tia. It's great to have such an excellent sound quality to work with and we are very happy everything was quite understandable for a change. An excellent entry into the Ashtar Command archives.

   
In love, light, and wisdom as one,
Russ and Karra

SIDE ONE



(Tia is the ring mistress and the first speaker)


Tia: okay, who's this?

Russ: Bonnie Prince Charlie. In order to.....

Tia: yes, this.

Russ: his assassination.

Tia: actually I believe Bonnie Prince Charlie died in.......oh, ask Mark, he's the expert.

Russ: 1798.

Tia: uh-huh, in France I believe.

Russ: France?

Tia: yes. Ask Mark, he'll tell you all about Bonnie Prince Charlie.

Russ: okay.

Tia: okay, now project A, throw everything out the window because this needs direct attention. It was something that you will be able to work on with Karra and Alana in a healing communication capacity. Project A is going to be a problem that is occurring for a young lady that Mark knows and I believe you've met her once....

Russ: oh, what's her name?

Tia: Ronnie.....

Russ: right.

Tia: who is breaking into operancy. Now, the first part should be you should get Skip up here soon, as soon as possible.

Russ: okay, how about Ronnie?

Tia: and Ronnie but Skip first, Ronnie second. So what we'll do is next week we will get Skip up here. Right, Mark's going to go down and see her on Saturday and sit down and work on helping her as best as he can. But somebody's got to be with her a fair bit of the time to help her and I don't think Mark would have the time to go down every evening after work to sit with her and talk and teach her.

Russ: what about her current flame then?

Tia: they're very close.

Russ: is he becoming operatant or.....?

Tia: he's latent. He's interested but he's latent and he shy a bit.

Russ: was he there at that session?

Tia: yes he was. When Ronnie left, he left as well to comfort her.

Russ: huh?

Tia: uh-huh. Okay, what happened was that the channeling session started, I came on, right? And because it was an unprotected area there was a lot of leakage. This does a lot of protecting.

(She was pointing to the pyramid around her)

Tia: but it doesn't matter because because you're so used to the energy anyway.

Russ: right.

Tia: so what happened was that there was a lot of energy leakage and she started breaking out in a sweat and started to get the shakes followed very quickly by a headache from the energy. So she got up and left and her current boyfriend or possibly husband I believe, not too sure on that, got up and left with her to comfort her.

Russ: uh-huh.

Tia: so it's possible that he has latent healing which would be useful because she also has healing which she inherited from Skip. She also has a slight coercive ability and also she's very in tune with possibilities that can occur which makes her a what?

Russ: a telepath?

Tia: no, a clairvoyant. See the future but only in limited things. She sees the possibilities of what are and what could be.

Russ: hmm.

Tia: she's quite a talent actually. See, most people don't have high shields. There were quite a few people in that room that started suffering from neck aches and light headaches.

Russ: hmm. So that's why Omal had us learn shields first.

Tia: uh-huh. That will be the first thing that you will teach Skip to use for Ronnie to learn.

Russ: so why didn't Bethany stick around?

Tia: well Bethany is a clone, (?) she's one of those misknown events. When she tries to come up here and she succeeds from time to time. Let's say she tries five times, right? And she gets up once. Okay, now that will be project A which we will work on for a week and also, you're a fool, Russ. You really want Mark to teach you how to fence?

Russ: and I believe it was Mark who initially brought up the whole subject of wishing to teach me to fence. I, in my infinite wisdom, decided that it wouldn't be a bad idea to learn a form of self-defense that I currently do not know. Where does the fool part come in to this that you were mentioning so highly?

Tia: because you told him not to hold back.

Russ: right.

Tia: and if he decides not to hold back, the fight will be over in I estimate in about thirty seconds. And Kiri agrees. Kiri has sparred against Mark and she says he's good. When he doesn't hold back he's good. Ask him to hold back and let him teach you the basic movements and work with you and spar with you but going through a simple or a very slow training technique where you spar slowly.

Russ: of course. I'd be glad to.....

Tia: we have a visitor who has just arrived.

Russ: great.

Tia: and Kiri is filling her in on what was said in the challenge. And she's nodding profusely, she agrees with us.

Russ: tell Lyka I appreciate the concern also.

Tia: Lyka says that Mark has beaten her on a number of occasions. Mainly with the long, thin ones.

Russ: I believe, let's see if I do a self-analysis it, it would be our competitive spirit between ourselves that would lead me to offer such a challenge.

Tia: uh-huh. But the best bet would be to ask him to hold back because once he's worked up, I don't know how his knees are going to hold up, but once he works up after probably
about five minutes, his reactions would be fast. It would be remembering the movements and everything and just speeding up his movements.

Russ: thank you Tia, I'll take it under advisement for a solution.

Tia: well, you've seen him practice, haven't you, on his own?

Russ: yeah, uh-huh.

Tia: you ought to watch him when he does. He doesn't do it very often which is bad. He should do it more often. Okay, now then, questions. Oh yes, project B. Now, stemming again from that channeling session, was a discussion between Mark and another gentleman called Mark who worked at area 51. We are going to restart that project.

Russ: of course, yes.

Tia: and would Friday night be convenient?

Russ: yes, Friday night would be fine.

Tia: okay, midnight?

Russ: once my movie gets out.

Tia: okay, good, good, good. Now we're going to concentrate on that sub memory blast also, right?

Russ: of course.

Tia: uh-huh. Okay, and that is at Groom, not the Goose.

(Groom Lake)

Russ: ahh.

Tia: okay? Now, questions.

Russ: I'm gonna save for you till after Omal.

Tia: okay and I'm sorry to be a bossy boots and laying down all that for you.

Russ: I'm quite used to that.

Tia: okay, now, I will put on Omal. Are you sitting comfortably?

Russ: no, actually.

Tia: well sit comfortably.

Russ: I'll sit on the floor. The hard, hard, tough floor and let my back get really sore.

Tia: do you know what this is?

Russ: one small violin?

Tia: it's playing just for you.






(Omal is the night's first guest speaker)



Omal: greetings and felicitations Russ and how are we functioning? Yes, you are functioning within specified diameters.

Russ: no, actually beyond specified diameters and that's what the topic of tonight's conversation is all about.

Omal: okay, let us proceed.

Russ: alrighty. First off, prior to that, I was wondering a little bit about how does sixth dimension differ from fifth dimension, I.E. Hades to Sirius?

Omal: okay, the laws of fifth dimension are the proverbial two twos. Which is bigger? Perception is the key.

Russ: hmm.

Omal: how do you travel from one side of the room to the other in fifth dimension?

Russ: see, what I mean is, when I'm on Hades Base, I don't see any differences between that and when I'm on Sirius.

Omal: that's because it is a working space within the fifth dimension which has the same properties as the sixth dimension.

Russ: oh okay, that explains it. We'll go back to the subject later on but basically the sixth dimensional Earth that we were discussing last week so we could go back into again this week....

Omal: uh-huh.

Russ: would have the same properties as both Hades base and Sirius?

Omal: yes, correct.

Russ: okay.

Omal: there would be no difference between Sirius and its properties or Hades base in the working space within the fifth dimension that has the properties of the sixth dimension.

Russ: okay, excellent. So we could actually say Hades is on the sixth dimension.

Omal: in essence yes, although it is on the fifth.

Russ: right. Okay, now, elevating the mind to rise in consciousness is basically what I'm always striving for and what most humans try to strive for.

Omal: yes, that is correct.

Russ: okay. Now I'm practicing to separate individual thinking so that I can integrate into Karra's mind better.

Omal: uh-huh.

Russ: now while I do this practice, I wonder if you could tell me what is happening in my aura.

Omal: what is happening is, your aura is changing its frequency and coloring which matches Karra's and that is because you are trying to get her into a frequency so you are on a much tighter note where you will hear Karra thinking and talking.

Russ: uh-huh.

Omal: that she would be able to talk to you much more directly and you talk to her much more directly. If you were to look at or scan Tia, Mark and Kiri.........the reason why I say that is Tia, Mark, Kiri, little joke........you would see that their auras are very close together.

Russ: and so that's even when he's down here.

Omal: correct. That is why he can hear Tia giggling whilst she chases somebody around the room.

Russ: now here's what I don't understand, maybe you can help me with this is Mark's mental set never seems to be different now than it was when I first met him.

Omal: uh-huh.

Russ: does that mean that Kiri and Tia's mindset is similar to his at that point also?

Omal: pretty much so. You have to remember that they are very close triplet souls.

Russ: right. So why is it I'm having so much longer and harder to get to where Karra's and mine mindset or similar?

Omal: partly because Mark is an astral traveler that spends a much longer time in contact with them.

Russ: hmm, I see. So basically if I was to spend as much time with Karra I'd be in the same position he is.

Omal: correct.

Russ: okay, so that means I have to work a little bit harder and continue on the way I'm going.

Omal: correct. You see, Mark is constantly subjected to when he is here, a telepathic barrage from Tia and Kiri.

Russ: and so am I.

Omal: and vice versa.

Russ: right.

Omal: so that there is constantly, they chatter a lot on the intimate mode a
nd when I say a lot, I do mean a lot.

Russ: I'd guess you know.

Omal: yes.

Russ: so basically, what I need to do is just be able to open up more of myself to Karra.

Omal: uh-huh, yes. And with them sleeping together in close proximity, I mean their heads apparently, frequently touch. So that you'll see Tia and Kiri with their heads close together and Mark with his head close as he can get to theirs and that helps also.

Russ: hmmm.

Omal: if you could spend sixteen hours a day with Karra, you would have that link as well.

Russ: I see. Due to the fact that they are within each other's aura more constantly than I do.

Omal: correct.

Russ: such for example when I'm with Erica a lot, her and I have a lot of the same mindsets.

Omal: correct. But it wasn't always the way.

Russ: correct, I've changed more towards her and her towards me.

Omal: correct.

Russ: okay. Now what are ways that I can improve this and figure out some self-monitoring techniques?

Omal: hmmm, instead of projecting emotions at Karra and possibilities in an emotional form, talk to her directly and listen.

Russ: okay.

Omal: and by listening, you will actually hear her eventually.

Russ: yeah, we were practicing that tonight when we were at dinner.

Omal: yes. Tia is saying that, to paraphrase her, we three are experimenting with instantaneous thought at a higher speed ratio.

Russ: hmm.

Omal: for example, Tia is saying that when she thinks something, she is thinking it faster so then Mark receives it faster and he is trying to work on the same thing. Unfortunately, Tia said he's not quite as quick as we are. Meaning them.

Russ: of course, yes. He'll get a good kick out of this when he hears it later on.

Omal: oh, I think he's fully aware.

Russ: okay, now, for the self-monitoring technique.....

Omal: yes.

Russ: a way to do it?

Omal: oh, yes. A self-monitoring technique would be to make mental notes of how you hear Karra. Is it partly emotion and partly her voice? Is it her voice or is it your own mind.

Russ: uh-huh.

Omal: if you hear for example, "Russ, take that pen and that piece of paper, go to the telephone and call Carrie and ask her questions".

Russ: oh.

Omal: or, getting the feeling that you should pick up the phone, right? You should pick up the piece of paper and not hearing the words.

Russ: oh, I see.

Omal: make a mental note of the fact that you heard Karra say, "pick up the pen" and then you got the feeling that you needed to pick up the paper.

Russ: that would be handy.

Omal: eventually you will notice that it will be Karra saying, "Russ, Russ dear, pick up the pen". I'm not very good at....

Russ: you're doing quite well actually.

(Russ starts laughing)

Russ: okay, I understand.

Omal: uh-huh.

Russ: all right, now can this be made into a constant condition then? Like what Mark does all the time?

Omal: yes, I do not see why you shouldn't. Although Mark does not all the time for the simple reason that some of the time he is up here as well as being down there.

Russ: right, it cuts him off from that whereas I would have the ability to do it all the time.

Omal: correct, which will help you to accelerate to that level.

Russ: okay, which is my next question.

Omal: it will help you with your telepathy and your next question being where do you proceed from there?

Russ: no.

Omal: no?

Russ: no. Next question being is this a pre-lane (?) to sixth dimension?

Omal: hmm, it is something that is necessary. Not 100% necessary but it is a aid.

Russ: because it feels like it would be a sixth dimensional sense.

Omal: uh-huh.

Russ: in other words okay, it's two different modes of thought. In third dimensional thought, a person has anger, self questioning....

Omal: etc.

Russ: etc., right. With this, it's much more clarity and peacefulness.

Omal: correct, yes. And with a direct communication does lead to a higher level of consciousness. It is telepathy, although it is with your twin soul.

Russ: right. So that's why you say open up to Karra?

Omal: correct.

Russ: oh, I understand. And what did you say my next question was?

Omal: where do you proceed from there?

Russ: ahh yes, that's it, right. Okay, that's a good question too by the way.

Omal: yes.

Russ: I should've thought of that myself.

Omal: where you proceed from there is being able to receive transmissions from other people on your dimension.

Russ: ahh.

Omal: it is a first step to telepathy.

Russ: oh, I see. Okay, and this is, as we've discovered before in class, that people with closer soul notes have a better chance....

Omal: of course.

Russ: of telepathy like myself and Karra.

Omal: correct.

Russ: okay, now then, how does this new mindset lend itself to meta-concert?

Omal: it speeds up the process. For example, if Mark, Kiri and Tia were sitting down and they decided to go into meta-concert.....

Russ: uh-huh.

Omal: it is almost instantaneous, they can mesh quite quickly.

Russ: ahh, I see.

Omal: and Kiri and Tia being quite good at telepathy up here, can mesh with other minds and bring them in to a meta-concert.

Russ: now the question I have concerns specifically in meta-concert is, which position does it lend itself to more? All of them or just a couple?

Omal: enunciation is very important but yes, it does lead to all positions. From the low secondary to the high executive.

Russ: excellent. I would assume that the next step beyond that then would be teaching.

Omal: hmm, no, to master it.

Russ: oh master it, okay, right. And then after that would be teaching.

Omal: correct. But you also have to speak up because as you rightly noted, sometimes your voice is not heard very well on the recordings.

Russ: right. It's funny because we're the same distance away.

Omal: correct but I have a much better ability at projecting my voice.

Russ: true, that's after much practice.

Omal: of course.

Russ: okay, so the key here is to master it and get it down to where it's a constant.

Omal: correct.

Russ: okay. Would I be able to do this with other people on Hades base also besides Karra do you think?

Omal: at present, no. You may be able to do it with soul notes that are close such as Alana.....

Russ: uh-huh.

Omal: but at first, no.

Russ: okay. Possibly my children may have the ability.

Omal: yes. Sometimes they will transmit on your frequency.

Russ: oh.

Omal: it occurs with the Cubs and Alex and Leonedies with Mark sometimes.

Russ: I mean he gets sounds of feeding frenzies but......

Omal: that is an example.

Russ: I guess that would be an example then. Okay, excellent. All right, before I go on to this next part, let me see if I got anything else in regards to this. Okay yeah, let's go on the next subject which is on the new world that we're talking about in which I'm going to be using some of this information for teaching. In fact, I already got a little practice the other day with a gentleman who came here for a regression one time named Dan.

Omal: uh-huh.

Russ: and we were discussing......

Omal: this is the gentleman with the addiction and some misconstrued beliefs that is overzealous? Jealous?

Russ: jealous right, but it is good practice for me.

Omal: uh-huh.

Russ: now then, with this I had a question on whether the initial shock of translation, what would stop people from sliding back into a third dimensional mindset?

Omal: nothing at all.

Russ: oh really? Okay, is that due to the fact that being on a new world, one would naturally then just go ahead and accept the sixth dimensional space around them?

Omal: no, I did not say that.

Russ: no.

Omal: I said there was nothing to stop him from sliding back.

Russ: oh, oh, oh, I get it. Okay, nothing to stop him from sliding back.

Omal: correct.

Russ: oh, okay. So, right away I see problems arising.

Omal: yes, you do. What would happen for example if people started to become very possessive? They would carry on living out their normal lifespan on the sixth dimension and when they passed away, they would be reborn onto the third.

Russ: well wouldn't this have trouble.......? Oh, I see. Yes, it would have troubles for other people up there but that would be up to them then.

Omal: correct.

Russ: oh my God, you're wet again. The kitty.

Omal: you have a kitten.

Russ: oh, you saw it?

Omal: I do not see it. Tia was bouncing up and down and going I quote, "ahh, ain't it cute?" Please, proceed with the questions.

Russ: okay, with the problems then arising it would be up to each of the individual people to then learn and not slide back themselves.

Omal: correct, learn how to handle it.

Russ: okay.

Omal: this one is Ganja, correct?

Russ: that's Ganja, yes. The problem that I came up with is the fact that when we first settled here on earth as far as people growng and we developed weapons as soon as possible and kept improving them throughout the ages.

Omal: yes, because it was necessary to deal with hostile animals.

Russ: yeah.

Omal: and hostile animals could also be construed as mankind.

Russ: right. Now, what I was wondering, will teachers be provided or will that be strictly up to the people who dare to become their own teachers for everybody else?

Omal: there will be teachers provided but they will be far superior in their abilities.

Russ: okay. I assume that these teachers would be then from Hades Base or would they be from Earth that had that had made the translation?

Omal: they will be guardians.

Russ: oh, I see.

Omal: and who are the guardians?

Russ: well, I'm going to take a wild guess here, this really wild guess but I would say the hybrids.

Omal: correct.

Russ: I was right.

Omal: that is the guardians. Take for example one of the guardians or the parents of the guardians. Is he powerful?

Russ: no.

Omal: although certainly he is very powerful and that is part of his function is to teach the guardians and possibly be one himself.

Russ: I see. Okay.

Omal: he is a super operant.

Russ: oh, you mean Leonedies?

Omal: correct.

Russ: oh, of course, him.

Omal: yes, him.

Russ: I thought you meant powerful with strength, muscles and stuff. He's just a little kid.

Omal: oh certainly, but knowing what he has now is equal to a fully grown human adult.

Russ: oh, okay.

Omal: a genius adult at that.

Russ: I thought this was a gray area?

Omal: there were certain facts that can be discussed.

Russ: oh, okay, good. All right, now what would be the people translating to that planet's initial reaction to these guardians? Would it be of maybe awe or would it be of fear?

Omal: neither.

Russ: oh really?

Omal: guardians will be trained.

Russ: oh, I see.

Omal: remember what I said last time, tools will be supplied.

Russ: so that's why my genes are important in this also for the communication abilities.

Omal: hmm, your genes are more important for a more humanoid look.

Russ: oh, I see.

Omal: I'm guilty about that but it is very important.

(Russ starts laughing)

Russ: I'll take your word for it.

Omal: what would you prefer, a six foot tall individual or a six foot tall individual that looks human?

Russ: oh, I see.

Omal: one that is slim and slender like your average Sirian.

Russ: uh-huh.

Omal: or one that is more human?

Russ: human would be more accessible.

Omal: correct.

Russ: I understand.

Omal: okay, let this proceed.

Russ: okay, next subject and that is on to Plan B of Tia's agenda there.

Omal: uh-huh.

Russ: and I was wondering if you could please explain some of the benefits of knowing the details of Area 51?

Omal: it isn't necessary to be able to pass on the information for a warning on the technology that would come out of it.

Russ: hmm, okay. Because I notice there's various disadvantages, that being of course your caution for paranoia.

Omal: uh-huh.

Russ: so these benefits tend to outweigh that and would this information then be necessary to be gotten out within the foreseeable, quick future or long-range?

Omal: not yet, it would be something you would take you time about. It would be in dribs and drabs but very cautiously from different locations.

Russ: okay.

Omal: for example, a road trip with nice rubber gloves and placing it in a receptacle somewhere like Fallon or somewhere further away.

Russ: okay.

Omal: San Francisco, Los Angeles, Seattle, Phoenix, New York.

Russ: Victorville, Cambria.

Omal: no.

Russ: no?

Omal: those are places that you have had residence. That is one place you cannot send them from.

Russ: oh, I see. Okay.

Omal: the same as Mark cannot send them to the Napa Valley or from Great Britain.

Russ: not that he would try.

Omal: correct.

Russ: okay, well that's all I have for now. Thank you for everything.

Omal: okay, and we have been working with Mark on his impersonations of Arnold Schwarzenegger you might be interested to know.

Russ: oh good, let's hear a few.

Omal: you'll have to ask Mark.

Russ: oh.

Omal: you want to ask me if I have any questions?

Russ: oh, okay. Do you have any questions?

Omal: no, but I'll be back.

Russ: okay.

Omal: and of course the tape.....

Russ: yeak uh-huh.

(We hear some rustling and the tape stops and restarts)





(Tia makes the quick transition between speakers)


Russ: find something to do in the meantime.

Tia: okay, let's answer questions. Okay, tell you what, we're going to put her on.

Russ: okay.





(Kiri steps into the channeling field)


Kiri: yo, dude.

Russ: what up Kiri baby?

Kiri: hey.

(We hear a failed high-five)

Kiri: terrible shot. Okay, what do you want to know?

Russ: we're on kitty watch right now.

Kiri: oh, okay. I'll keep my head facing that way and I will talk up so you guys that are hard of hearing can hear me.

Russ: okay, now.....

Kiri: you're not looking that way, are you?

Russ: no.

Kiri: well I was thinking that you've got tons of wood out there. Tons and tons of wood. Well, about a ton anyway. What's happening with your raised beds?

Russ: oh, the greenhouse?

Kiri: yes, and the greenhouse, the raised beds and the greenhouses.

Russ: well, we're cutting.......we're carving out the things for it.

Kiri: uh-huh.

Russ: I was going to buy wood for the greenhouse.

Kiri: yes, but for the raised beds, you've got wood there, wood over there, you've got plenty of wood for it.

Russ: how many raised beds are we looking at?

Kiri: how many do you want?

Russ: a couple or so.

Kiri: you don't have that much wood there.

Russ: not really sure yet.

Kiri: okay, your questions.

Russ: for Kiri, should I practice coercion once a day?

Kiri: for Russ, what do you think?

Russ: I think it's not enough.

Kiri: I think it's about right. Because what else are you practicing? Astral travel, healing......

Russ: yeah, well that's just all the basics.

Kiri: uh-huh.

Russ: coercion is one of those things where it is going to take a lot more work to get it good.

Kiri: depends on how long you practice. Once a day could be for two, three hours.

Russ: well, I'm talking about coercing somebody.

Kiri: going to try on him?

Russ: who, Mark?

Kiri: uh-huh.

Russ: no, I can't get through his shields.

Kiri: you can when he's having a week moment.

Russ: yeah, but I don't want to take advantage of his weak moments. I'll leave that to you girls.

Kiri: yeah, we take it. Yeah, we take advantage of him all the time.

Russ: right, so I mean, it wouldn't be fair for me to keep doing it also everyday.

Kiri: we use feminine coercion and you can't do that, nnyyyyhhh.

Russ:
nyhhh, free up my feminine side, nyhhh.

Kiri: you have one?

Russ: do you have a male side?

Kiri: don't know, I've never looked.

Russ: yes, you do.

Kiri: you know, I think Tia talking to your cats worked.

Russ: they seem a little bit more calm than....

Kiri: uh-huh.

Russ: less concerned with each other.

Kiri: uh-huh.

Russ: okay, now we were going to practice coercion tonight or you were going to give me some techniques.....

Kiri: okay, techniques.........okay, I think the tape's about to run out in a few anyway. Technique number one, relax. Tip number two or technique number two is make full eye contact. For example, what are you thinking?

Russ: how to focus in my brain so that I can....

Kiri: that is tip one right there. I have full eye contact with you, don't I?

Russ: you do now.

Kiri: yes. Can you break away?

Russ: yeah.

Kiri: takes a little bit of willpower, doesn't it?

Russ: no.

Kiri: why do you keep on looking back then.

Russ: well I'm trying to pay attention to you at the same time while you're talking. It's rude to ignore you while you're talking.

Kiri: that's tip number one........tip number two, sorry.

Russ: keep people from being rude.

Kiri: correct. People are not rude very often, they will not look away.

Russ: uh-huh.

Kiri: uh-huh. See, I have you in full contact.

Russ: I look down here, you can't contact anything.

Kiri: uh-huh.

Russ: any more techniques I should know about?

Kiri: yes. Tip number three.....

(They both start laughing)

Kiri: in no way tell tip number two.

Russ: yeah.

Kiri: see, see, see?

Russ: oh good, you want me to sit here and look at this all night long?

Kiri: no, that was just an example, okay?

Russ: okay.

Kiri: see, it's easy to do, you make eye contact. It would be easier if I could open both eyes. You wouldn't be able to look away at all.

Russ: it would be easier if you were down here.

Kiri: oh yes.

Russ: okay. So, tip one, relax.

Kiri: uh-huh. Because if you're all tense and everything, the energy that you give off is nervous, jittery energy which makes it difficult for tip number two. Tip number three, serious tip number three, learn tip one and two before doing anything else. That is the most important tip. Tip number four, keep a level voice. Don't slide up and down the scale. Do I slide up and down the scale when I'm coercing?

Russ: you're not really coercing me, it's hard to say.

Kiri: do I slide up and down the scale when I'm coercing?

Russ: no, of course not. You should know that as well as I do.

Kiri: correct, but you have to say it.

Russ: oh, yes, of course you do.

Kiri: of course I do slide up and down the scale?

Russ: oh no, you don't.

Kiri: thank you. Okay, that is the tips.

Russ: okay, so why is it when someone is coercing me that it looks like waves upon your shields?

Kiri: that's because how it works.

Russ: that's how I see it.

Kiri: because it is like sound, sound travels in waves.

Russ: so because this is voice as well as mind, it amplifies the waves that are coming from you.

Kiri: correct.

Russ: which is mind or sound or both?

Kiri: both.

Russ: both. Okay, so, let me get this straight......

Kiri: the way it works is it's like a radio, right?

Russ: right.

Kiri: radio gives off waves, correct?

Russ: right.

Kiri: your mind is the radio transmitter.....

Russ: uh-huh.

Kiri: and the waves coming out into your mind.....

Russ: right.

Kiri: right? Which receives it.

Russ: right.

Kiri: that is the transmission.

Russ: okay, now everyone has coercion built into them. It's part of your software that comes with your hardware package, right?

Kiri: correct.

Russ: like that little analogy?

Kiri: yes, uh-huh.

Russ: okay, now then, does then the fact of using your brain and your voice together create a certain frequency that isn't there normally or is it just......?

Kiri: yes.

Russ: oh, it does?

Kiri: it creates a coercive frequency.

Russ: okay.

Kiri: on Sirius it is called the coercive frequency.

Russ: and you can determine between regular frequencies and a coercive....

Kiri: correct.

Russ: which kind of takes all the fun away I figure.

Kiri: not necessarily.

Russ: well, when you walk into a party, everybody goes, "whoa, it's the coercive frequency girl".

Kiri: uh-huh and that's what I'm known for. I'm known for two things, my coercive ability and my engineering.

Russ: what about that sexy bod?

Kiri: that's secondary. How many Sirian women do you know that are not sexy?

Russ: well, your grandmother wasn't all that big of a turn on.

Kiri: that is different, that is age.

Russ: you asked, didn't you?

Kiri: yes.

Russ: okay.

Kiri: but how many Sirian women have you met that aren't sexy?

Russ: right.

Kiri: just the one, my grandmother. Please, have more respect for her.

Russ: I'm joking Kiri. God, Karra's laughing.

Kiri: my grandmother and myself are very close.

Russ: I know, but I mean because of that you should be able to enjoy a good joke as well as she can.

Kiri: well, you're insulting her.

Russ: I am not insulting her. She's not here to be insulted.

Kiri: God, you're so gullible sometimes. You fall for everything hook, line and sinker. Okay, now where were we?

Russ: okay, we were at let's see, back on Sirius.

Kiri: that was one of my things. Don't forget, I did pick up the trophy two years in a row straight.

(The champion coercer trophy)

Russ: oh yeah.

Kiri: uh-huh.

Russ: okay, now, what about Karra? Does she have any coercive abilities?

Kiri: healing coercive abilities only. She's not an all-around coercer.

Russ: she doesn't do coercive frequencies as much?

Kiri: she's hopeless in coercive frequencies.

Russ: because I know you helped Mark out.....

Kiri: oh yes.

Russ: all the time.

Kiri: a lot. I just gave him little pointers from time to time.

Russ: okay, so, to create the coercive frequency, steps one, two....

Kiri: uh-huh.

Russ: and three are still set. All right......

Kiri: uh-huh.


            
SIDE ONE ENDS




bar




SIDE TWO



(The conversation with Kiri picks up where it left off)


Russ: okay, so, creating the coercive frequency has to become a natural extension of your own self.

Kiri: correct.

Russ: because you can't sit there and think, "okay, now I use my voice, I use my mind", takes too long.

Kiri: correct. Practice, practice, practice, practice. Now I'm going to hand over back to Tia because we have one, two, three more people that want to talk.

Russ: oh, I got a joke for you.

Kiri: okay.

Russ: okay, remember Ryan who came here before?

Kiri: uh-huh.

Russ: now then, I have a feeling that he is starting to backslide a bit.

Kiri: uh-huh.

Russ: now, if he backslides again, I have the feeling he might go as low as a flower. Now, what would his name be?

Kiri: Pettle.

Russ: Ryincarnation.

Kiri: that's terrible. Okay, I'm going have to put on as Tia's getting antsy with a joint ending for the tape.

Russ: okay.

Kiri: see you shortly.

Russ: all right.






(Wing Commander Taal pays an infrequent visit)



Taal: yes, sit up.

Russ: yeah, that caught my attention right away.

Taal: greetings.

Russ: greetings Taal.

Taal: correct.

Russ: all right, and how are you?

Taal: I am functioning fine.

Russ: excellent.

Taal: first, have joke for you.

Russ: okay.

Taal: the other day I shot the biggest mouse you have ever seen with my laser pistol.

Russ: uh-huh.

Taal: this thing was huge. However, I don't think they're going to let me back into Disneyland.

(Russ laughs at that)

Russ: that's a good one, I like that.

Taal: I'm serious. Just kidding.

Russ: thank you for your careful watchfulness on my trip.

Taal: welcome. And I must thank Mark for his assistance recently.

Russ: with what?

Taal: research.

Russ: oh, yes.

Taal: Mr. guinea pig.

Russ: oh yes, instead of having a pilot taken off of duty or something, now you've got Mark.

Taal: yes, Mr. guinea pig.

Russ: did they throw him in the lake yet?

Taal: yes, today.

Russ: oh, they did. He didn't tell me how that went.

Taal: I hear he was not a happy individual. I think, yes, Kiri says he had nosebleed from depth.

Russ: hmm. No wonder he didn't mention it.

Taal: not a happy experience. Six hundred feet down, three hours to come up.....sorry, two and a half hours to come up.

Russ: whew, you guys are really looking at the worst case possibilities then.

Taal: we have in the past had people rescued from thousand feet down.

Russ: oh really? The life support functions of the ship would be quite adequate though I take it?

Taal: yes, but unfortunately at that depth vessel unflyable.

Russ: that's true.

Taal: normally when you land in water you are in trouble.

Russ: now we've had occasions where we've heard of underwater vehicles.

Taal: correct.

Russ: USO's. And is that a particular kind that's designed for that?

Taal: correct. Normally they are lowered from a three-man vessel.

Russ: oh, I see. So they're not like dual rated for air and water?

Taal: no. They can fly in atmosphere.....

Russ: okay.

Taal: but not in space. They do not have the equipment to translate space.

Russ: oh, I see. Hmm.

Taal: they have equipment for working in intense cold and pressure.

Russ: hmm, okay. So depths of deep, deep, deep.

Taal: up to thirty thousand feet, plus.

Russ: Marianas Trench.

Taal: to the bottom I hear.

Russ: hmm, okay. Now is that something that you guys have to be concerned with?

Taal: no.

Russ: good.

Taal: they are special assignments. News flash for you.....

Russ: hmm, fire away.

Taal: your friend has a confirmed kill.

Russ: excellent, excellent. So, that's his first then?

Taal: correct.

Russ: ahh, well on his way to getting up there in the ranks.

Taal: and how many more does he have to go before he gets as high as yours truly?

Russ: I'm guessing here at twelve more?

Taal: a little higher.

Russ: ahh, twenty?

Taal: no.

Russ: not quite that high.

Taal: I said little higher.

Russ: so around fifteen. I was really close then.

Taal: yes.

Russ: all right, how's Katrina? I hear she comes by once in a while.

Taal: right. She is fine and functioning.

Russ: is she here tonight?

Taal: no.

Russ: oh. Usually when we have a pyramid session she is here.

Taal: pyramid session? No, she is at home with little one. It is her turn to watch.

Russ: ahh, I see. Well I hear you're off on another trip here pretty soon?

Taal: that is correct.

Russ: a long one?

Taal: unfortunately, that is so.

Russ: six weeks I believe.

Taal: correct.

Russ: that's a long one.

Taal: long convoy duties.

Russ: oh.

Taal: it avoids boredom by rotation. At the time born, but because rotation, not so.

Russ: good. Well, being as you're guarding a convoy, does anything ever happen that you actually need to be there for?

Taal: yes.

Russ: oh really?

Taal: yes.

Russ: they get jumped once in a while?

Taal: occasionally, yes.

Russ: that would be amazing. I wouldn't think that......

Taal: normally through hostile parts of third dimensional space.

Russ: oh. Reminds me of back in the 1940s when we had a big world war down here and we had convoys going from America to Britain to supply the allies. And the German U-boats would be out in the water looking to torpedo....

Taal: yes, I can see the similarities.

Russ: right and they'd have these destroyer escorts that would be on wolf pack patrols.

Taal: hmm.

Russ: well, good. So you might get another kill out of this next convoy....

Taal: that is where I have most of my kills.

Russ: oh really? So, is it like a surprise attack?

Taal: yes.

Russ: in force?

Taal: not necessarily in force.

Russ: and it's not just like one on one kind of thing?

Taal: no.

Russ: you mean multiple on one, right?

Taal: yes.

Russ: that's what I thought.

Taal: it is an advantage for us sometimes.

Russ: because they're working as a pair and they have to back each other up and you don't.

Taal: not necessarily. Sometimes it is six of us against one of them.

Russ: oh, I see. Well that's not quite sporting.

Taal: what is fighter combat?

Russ: it's survival.

Taal: in its barest essence, it is murder.

Russ: that's true.

Taal: we shoot them down without being seen.

Russ: well, maybe you can answer me a question on that and that was if you can translate between dimensions, and they're only limited to just third dimension, can you just suddenly like say pop into third dimension right behind them or something?

Taal: you have to be careful doing that because it is not always constant reappearance. For example, third here, wink out to fourth, wink back in. Instead of you being back here, you may be over there.

Russ: oh, I see. It's tough to tell where you will pop back out.

Taal: correct, because it is a wide area. A good time has elapsed.

Russ: can't your computers account for that?

Taal: there are so many variables that the calculations are very high.

Russ: oh, I see. But if computers could calibrate it to that....

Taal: that would give us something to work on.

Russ: that would be great for practice sessions, working on getting to where you can pop in and out at the same spot.

Taal: it is something we work on. In a hundred tries we may do it only twice or three times, not acceptable for combat.

Russ: no, not even acceptable. That's suicidal. You could lose a battle trying that.

Taal: correct.

Russ: it's like a stealth fighter though, get that down to where it's a hundred out of a hundred....

Taal: then it would be fair? No, but it would work.

Russ: right.

Taal: thank you. Dismissed.





(Tia makes her next transition between speakers)


Tia: stand easy Russ.

Russ: oh thank you. Hey love.

Tia: hey. Right, I'll put on let me see. Yeah, okay.





(Karra takes over from Wing Commander Taal)



Karra: when I tell you something, you're meant not to tell everybody I told you.

Russ: well yeah, but it wouldn't be fair to pretend like it's my memory.

Karra: I wonder why I bother sometimes.

Russ: because you love me?

Karra: that's it, I'm going to cross my legs then.

(Russ laughs)

Karra: let's start again.

Russ: all right.

Karra: let's get down to business.

Russ: alrighty we've got a lot to work on here.

Karra: uh-huh.

Russ: okay.

Karra: and project A.

Russ: yes.

Karra: okay, the young lady. First of all, we have to get her healing ability operational.

Russ: well, we could have her work on Mark.

Karra: she needs to learn how to control her ability.

Russ: well she could practice on me.

Karra: no, what I'm saying is she has to understand in advance.

Russ: oh, right. Oh, we'll explain all that.

Karra: yes. Because if you get her to work on somebody and she gets it wrong, she could do more harm than good. And she won't be able to heal Skip because they're too close.

Russ: right.

Karra: but they can learn from each other by discussing techniques.

Russ: yeah, but I always have these little cuts and bruises on me.

Karra: uh-huh.

Russ: she can always help accelerate that.

Karra: but we've got to start off at the beginning. She is a total novice.

Russ: that's the best kind.

Karra: we will have to teach her healing and cleanliness. Clapping her hands, washing her hands is necessary. Something we try to remind you of from time to time.

Russ: well, I got it the last time.

Karra: well what about the time before that?

Russ: well not all the time, I'm a novice too here you've got to remember. Catching up quickly.

Karra: not quick enough as you know. I'm not mad at you really.

Russ: I love you too.

Karra: yes, I'll try to cooperate as much as possible on helping you accelerate with your one-on-one telepathy.

Russ: hey, we're working on it, tonight was a great step forward I'd say.

Karra: uh-huh, I think so too. Okay now, come on, down to business.

Russ: okay.

Karra: Tia is saying that she has others for the tape.

Russ: okay, questions that I have for you.

Karra: uh-huh.

Russ: okay, now, let's work on this new mindset, shall we?

Karra: hmm?

Russ: okay, because that's all I got here to pay attention to because that is where my main focus is going to be for the next however long it takes to get this perfected. So you'll have to bear with me because I'm going to be working on this constantly. All right, now the new mindset reminds me of being high......

Karra: uh-huh.

Russ: okay? Now you were in my mind a lot of those times so you can see the similarities but why is this so?

Karra: because it is using a higher function which is smart. When the neurons fire across the synapses, it fires across the pleasure circuits, correct?

Russ: yeah, it does feel good.

Karra: uh-huh and what's happening as we succeed, is that they're firing as a, "hey, this is good, thank you".

Russ: I just thought it was the way you always feel.

Karra: hey, I always feel good.

Russ: well that's like me, seems like this is the way you would be constantly.

Karra: uh-huh.

Russ: okay, and so, you sure you don't have your coercion down to a T?

Karra: no I don't.

Russ: okay. Basically, I'll be working on getting it to where I can understand you now.

Karra: uh-huh.

Russ: what I need to do is have you help me the way that Omal mentioned.

Karra: yes, of course.

Russ: you specifically say, "Russell you pick up the pen".

Karra: okay, I will do so.

Russ: I mean however you do it.

Karra: I will try not to do it the way that it is normally done up here which is in the space of a second I can transmit what I just said.

Russ: right, which wouldn't do me any good at all.

Karra: no.

Russ: whereas it might be a fleeting mind image to me......

Karra: uh-huh, to Kiri or Alana or one of my techs it would be understood and replied upon in that second.

Russ: we'll get to there.

Karra: eventually, yeah.

Russ: yeah.

Karra: it takes a lot of practice.

Russ: right but we have to start from scratch so like we're gonna start with Ronnie and you can start with me.

Karra: cool and quickly sidestepping, I agree totally with Kiri and Tia on fencing with Mark.

Russ: oh, okay.

Karra: it would be fun.....

Russ: right.

Karra: but I'm not looking to heal you every five minutes. So please, with restraint.

Russ: with restraint, yes.

Karra: good.

Russ: all right, now then, and so in the future what I'll do is, I'll be mentally always pushing myself to be ready to receive.....

Karra: uh-huh.

Russ: and then I'll be listening for you to be specifically saying something in regards to what I'm doing.

Karra: yes.

Russ: okay. The key is even though you aren't a coercive person.....

Karra: uh-huh.

Russ: I need you to hopefully be able to remind me to coerce at moments where I need to coerce.

Karra: I'm going to give the answer that Mark gave Kiri the other day when he said that.......that Kiri said to him that he had to coerce Ronnie to open up to talk to him.

Russ: right.

Karra: and Mark said he couldn't do that because it wasn't necessary to do that. And he said even if he wanted to he could not coerce her because of the respect. And Kiri said that it was important that he coerce her and he refused.

Russ: I don't have that problem.

Karra: you're not a full on, hard-core coercer, are you?

Russ: no, but if I was to become one, I'd be.....

Karra: uh-huh.

Russ: as necessary I'd be right there in the end.

Karra: yes, it is the moral dilemma.

Russ: yes, I won't have that problem.

Karra: and I can't coerce you for the same reason that Mark can't coerce Ronnie.

Russ: I don't want you to coerce me.

Karra: no.

Russ: all I want you to do is just remind me to coerce, all right? I just need someone to say, "hey Russ, this would be a good time to coerce this person".

Karra: I'm not a coercer.

Russ: I don't want you to, just say it to me.

Karra: I will try.

Russ: all right.

Karra: I can't guarantee it.

Russ: okay, that's all I want. I just want to hear a little hint or reminder......

Karra: uh-huh.

Russ: and I'll do the work.

Karra: oh yes, by the way, you have a mission tomorrow.

Russ: why, what's up?

Karra: healing journey mission.

Russ: Carrie?

Karra: yes.

Russ: I haven't practiced with her for a while but that was pretty successful.

Karra: you can practice tonight with Alana. Yes I know, I'm devoted.

Russ: I know, but still, I've got to work harder on what I'm working with Alana on. I'm slacking.

Karra: uh-huh.

Russ: well, it's not slacking, I'm trying to get the complete feeling of being there without falling asleep.

Karra: uh-huh.

Russ: alrighty. Well, that's all I've got and you said you've got a bunch of people who still have to get on.

Karra: well we do have one more person. How much tape do we have?

Russ: that's all, one more person? Oh heck, we've got about a good fifteen minutes of tape.

Karra: we can talk for just a little bit more. Okay, now then, yes, we have been monitoring with interest the terrible twosome, Mark's knee problems.

Russ: oh, okay.

Karra: uh-huh. He's really jumpy about people probing and messing around with his knees even though the pain can really get to him at times.

Russ: well, we've been told off, haven't we? I mean not told off, I mean told not to by him.

Karra: well, the fact that Mark is so nervous and jittery about having people probing around with his knees.

Russ: who is, doctors?

Karra: I think Mark is scared of everybody when it comes to his knees or any part of his body.

Russ: that's weird because if it was me boy, I'd be jumping to get them worked on.

Karra: well, Mark is a very strange individual at times.

Russ: okay, so how's his knees?

Karra: hmm, apart from the fact that the pins and stuff are gone, they're pretty messed up.

Russ: and it's not because of the fact that the pins are gone I take it.

Karra: no, that was more of a help than anything else.

Russ: okay.

Karra: still not quite sure how he managed to do that actually.

Russ: I thought we already proved it was that car?

Karra: yeah, I know it solves the problem working on them up here but it shouldn't have dissolved them as rapidly as it did. Probably explains why he's been a little bit cranky.

Russ: hmm.

Karra: yes, he has been cranky recently, hasn't he?

Russ: that's true.

Karra: uh-huh.

Russ: but see, this is what I'm really counting on.

Karra: yes, to catch things that you miss.

Russ: no, but that would help too. No, it was my crankiness I feel. It's like I've been in a permanent third dimensional state that I can't break out of.

Karra: this is something that we really need to discuss with you actually.

Russ: yeah, and I think the whole thing with tonight is a final just tired of it. Wanting to just break out of that whole thing in front of me. I had to do something to get extreme....

Karra: uh-huh.

Russ: to break into a more higher dimensional state because this third dimensional crap is getting to me.

Karra: that's part of the problem now. When it happens you've got to go, "okay, fair enough. So what, what am I gonna do about it?"

Russ: that's why I did that tonight.......

Karra: uh-huh.

Russ: so that now I have an answer for that.

Karra: good.

Russ: did you notice that though when I would be like sliding into the game or getting a set of people at the table next to me, I would be able to go ahead and just go back into that state and get out of it?

Karra: uh-huh.

Russ: well that's the answer I think.

Karra: hmmm.

Russ: see what I'm talking about?

Karra: yeah, I know exactly what you're talking about.

Russ: see, I mean before now, what were my options? It used to be I'd go smoke a joint.

Karra: uh-huh.

Russ: or go hit a bong a couple times and I'd be out of it for the next four hours.

Karra: yeah.

Russ: but without that to me, it seems like I've finally gotten that out of my system or something......

Karra: uh-huh.

Russ: to where now I'm looking to find a replacement mentally......

Karra: uh-huh.

Russ: to match that which I did physically.

Karra: correct.

Russ: and I think this is going to be the trick.

Karra: yes.

Russ: I just have to, just you know.......

Karra: mind you, the pair of you have been quite cranky recently.

Russ: well, that's the frustration.

Karra: uh-huh, yes, of course. But with Mark I think it's the pain and frustration with work.

Russ: hmm, true.

Karra: that he keeps on getting hung up at work and hung out to dry every so often at work for things he did not do.

Russ: well, we'll go ahead and I think you're gonna see a nice change.

Karra: well, I hope so.

Russ: well, if I can be more in tune with you....

Karra: uh-huh.

Russ: I mean that's gonna be......

Karra: oh, of course, yes, yes. I've got to go, I'm getting paged. Hey, I didn't say I was going, I said I've got to go, I'm being paged. I didn't say that I was going.

Russ: oh, I wanted to finish my sentence.

Karra: okay, go ahead, finish your sentence.

Russ: okay, when I used to get high, I'd be like with you closer.....

Karra: uh-huh.

Russ: as far as mentally and that was my big escape.

Karra: uh-huh.

Russ: hopefully create that bond.

Karra: uh-huh. Unfortunately, you were deluding yourself because where does it go?

Russ: right, it was a dead-end.

Karra: uh-huh.

Russ: but, the problem came in was with stopping it.....

Karra: uh-huh.

Russ: I lost that bond.

Karra: why?

Russ: well, because of the fact that those synapses weren't firing properly.

Karra: no, they were firing as they should be but they were taking the stimuli away that would make them fire at an accelerated level.

Russ: right.

Karra: which in actual fact is an artificial level.

Russ: then what is it I'm doing now? Am I actually still doing the same thing?

Karra: correct.

Russ: okay, so....

Karra: after two years, we're now getting back to the level where you were when you weren't taking your habit and you would've gone no higher. But now that you're free of it, there's only one way to go.

Russ: right.

Karra: okay, well I am being paged dear.

Russ: okay.

Karra: I'm sorry.

Russ: that's all right. I got you in my conversation and well I have a free conscience.

Karra: yes, I'll see if I can relay rabbit ears.

Russ: okay, love you much.

Karra: probably some fruitcake and roller blades.;







(Tia makes her last speaker transition)



Tia: and off she goes with her bag. Oh well, I suppose I better put on the last guest speaker.

Russ: okay.

Tia: okay.

Russ: did I ask you my questions?

Tia: yeah, you did. Let me put on this guest speaker, she'll be quick.

Russ: okay.





(Lyka is the night's last guest speaker)



Russ: I saw a mouth move.

Lyka: yo, Russ, hi!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Russ: yo Lyka.

Lyka: hey, how's it going?

Russ: definitely and how is yourself?

Lyka: begins with H.

Russ: oh, well that, that would explain it, yes.

Lyka: whoaaaaaaa.

Russ: good.

Lyka: forgot what comes after that.

Russ: oh.

Lyka: okay........

Russ: okay.

Lyka: let me get down to business.

Russ: alrighty.

Lyka: battlefield strategy.

Russ: hey, yeah, that's right. We were gonna work on that, weren't we?

Lyka: uh-huh.

Russ: I forgot, bitching.

Lyka: and unfortunately, I can't do it without pictures.

Russ: oh. Well we don't have anything set up down here to translate pictures for you.

Lyka: no, but what I can do is..........no, I can't do that because I don't have the hand eye coordination.

Russ: well, didn't you get taught anything about that in school without having to use pictures?

Lyka: it's easier with pictures. I could explain it to you until blue in the face and you would not understand.

Russ: okay, I see.

Lyka: the reason being that you don't speak Sirian, do you?

Russ: not very well, no.

Lyka: there's your answer.

Russ: and I could go up there and I could spend as much time as I could but I don't have the mind astral coordination's to understand it completely.

Lyka: and here endth the lesson.

Russ: I know you have a way around this though.

Lyka: uh-huh, I'll think of it.

Russ: I have faith.

Lyka: you do.

Russ: so how's everything other than that?

Lyka: who knows around here?

Russ: oh, why's that?

Lyka: you know how to wargame.

Russ: yeah, I've wargammed before.

Lyka: uh-huh. What we can do is Kiri plays you and I give Kiri strategy moves.

Russ: okay.

Lyka: I have the eye-opening routine.

Russ: uh-huh.

Lyka: and we have the hand eye coordination and we have my great strategy mind.

Russ: excellent. What materials are going to need for this?

Lyka: little toy soldiers.

Russ: all right.

Lyka: and an agreed upon rules of engagement. I'd love a table with hits and miss and damage points.

Less: wait a minute, wait a minute........

Lyka: also, little scale soldiers.

Russ: hold on sweetheart.

Lyka: uh-huh.

Russ: okay, a couple years ago my brother sent me this space-age wargame set.

Lyka: uh-huh.

Russ: and how it's got all the pieces and everything, like little cardboard pieces that represent units of soldiers with different arms....

Lyka: uh-huh.

Russ: different battlefield things. It's got whole maps and everything all laid out ready to go with different places. And I can get Mark to help to set that up with me. He can go through it and learn it with me and then Kiri will know it because I'll do it when Kiri is with Mark.

Lyka: uh-huh, okay.

Russ: and then I can wargame with Kiri then during a session......

Lyka: uh-huh.

Russ: and you can coach her from there.

Lyka: uh-huh.

Russ: that will work.

Lyka: okay.

Russ: okay. We've got everything already, we're set.

Lyka: times up.

Russ: okay.

Lyka: bye.

Russ: bye.





(Tia is back to finish up the night)


Tia: okay.

Russ: hi darling.

Tia: now, where's my questions?

Russ: okay. Well, I already asked you the questions I wanted to ask you.

Tia: oh, okay.

Russ: but, we need to talk anyway during this whole thing. I just try to hide my nervousness.

Tia: yes, I know.

Russ: going back and forth so we don't just say hi. Oh, is Alana here?

Tia: no.

Russ: okay.

Tia: chitchat, chitchat, chitchat.

Russ: hey, do you doodle at work?

Tia: I don't understand.

Russ: doodle. You know, when you're sitting there and you're thinking of something or you're working on something and drawing little shapes and stuff on your note pad or something?

Tia: no, I don't have time.

Russ: oh, you don't?

Tia: no.

Russ: you can tell a lot about a person how they doodle.

Tia: sorry, potty humor.

Russ: okay. You've been a mother too long now.

Tia: uh-huh.

(Russ starts to laugh)

Tia: never too long, I adore my cubs.

Russ: I know.

Tia: we had great fun at camping.

Russ: yeah, I heard about the new grill they made for that.

Tia: yes, surprise the hell out of me, they've gotten their own.

Russ: did they? Well that's good.

Tia: they love eating rabbit.

Russ: oh, they do?

Tia: uh-huh.

Lyka: but not the big ones. They like eating young rabbits because they're tender. The big ones are, especially the ones high up where we were, are bigger and tougher and stringer and their ears are longer.

Russ: hmm, I understand.

Tia: uh-huh.

Russ: hmm, so it looks like you've got some really nice hunters on your hands here.

Tia: yes, my daughters.

Russ: you had them painted up...

Tia: uh-huh.

Russ: I was wondering about that. Did you do each one separately then?

Tia: did each one in a different design.

Russ: oh.

Tia: normally what would happen if they were to become priestesses in the hunt is that they would design their own when they were older.

Russ: right.

Tia: normally start training when they're about seven.

Russ: wow, you really got them in early on this. So what about the other Durondedunn couple, how are they doing? I haven't heard about them in a while.

Tia: they're doing fine. She's being cared for and bedridden from the nose down.

Russ: so she likes being pregnant?

Tia: uh-huh, she thinks it's great.

Russ: do we know how many cubs they're going to have?

Tia: four.

Russ: four?

Tia: uh-huh.

Russ: excellent. And they'll be the normal size.....

Tia: yeah.

Russ: no problem there.

Tia: normal size, no problem at all.

Russ: good. And so how is the transition going?

Tia: hmm, they don't show any signs of operancy.

Russ: oh, they don't.

Tia: none at all.

Russ: was that an expected thing?

Tia: yes, it was expected that they would be normal.

Russ: right.

Tia: and as they have mainly......and I don't show off my abilities....

Russ: uh-huh.

Tia: they're limited.

Russ: well, I always heard about the little incident.

Tia: what little incident?

Russ: Athena and Minerva or Athena and Diana.

Tia: yes.

Russ: that little incident.

Tia: hey, you shouldn't get between two cubs when they're fighting.

Russ: well yeah, but if it happened down here, that's the first thing I'd do too.

Tia: uh-huh. But your species doesn't have retractable fingernails that come out that are razor-sharp.

Russ: well true. I'd have Mark give me a suit of mail maybe.

Tia: yes. But they've resolved their problems and everything.

Russ: that's good. So they've become fast friends again?

Tia: yes.

Russ: excellent. It won't hurt that meta-concert then.

Tia: that's very important to them.

Russ: okay.

Tia: it's just that Diana thought that because she's the boss of the meta-concert that she should be the boss of the pack.

Russ: yeah, there are pack rules, right?

Tia: yes, there are pack rules. The pack rules are that......

Russ: the biggest is strongest.

Tia: the one that wins the fight is the boss.

Russ: oh, yeah.

Tia: it doesn't matter if they are bigger or stronger. But in Athena's case, bigger and stronger and more stamina had the advantage. Quite frequently on home, it would be the smallest of the litter that would be the boss.

Russ: why?

Tia: quicker, faster.

Russ: true.

Tia: more agile. But Athena could take a lot more damage than I could at her age.

Russ: did you get into a few fights when you are student?

Tia: oh, did I?

Russ: who was the boss in your little group?

Tia: my big sister.

Russ: oh.

Tia: actually, she was first. There was my brother, there was me and then my little sister.

Russ: and she was just quicker and faster than you?

Tia: uh-huh.

Russ: then you were?

Tia: yes.

Russ: hard to believe, you're pretty quick and fast.

Tia: she was quite impressive.

Russ: and your brother didn't stand a chance either?

Tia: he was dominated by me and little sister.

Russ: that poor guy. He would have some serious psychological problems in this world if that happened.

Tia: it's natural. Tee was......it was natural for him to be dominated.

Russ: what's his name?

Tia: Tee.

Russ: Tee.

Tia: hmm?

Russ: what was your sister's name?

Tia: sister's name? Oh yes, sorry. I was thinking. TEE.

Russ: okay, sounds like Tee.

Tia: no, that's Tee. TEE.

Russ: TEE and Tia.

Tia: uh-huh. And actually my Durondedunn name is Prew

Russ: oh is it?

Tia: Prew.

Russ: oh, I didn't know that.

Tia: uh-huh.

Russ: that's great.

Tia: I took a earth name to make it easier for you guys.

Russ: oh, I see.

Tia: can you go Prew?

Russ: Proo.

Tia: no, Prew.

Russ: Proo.

Tia: Prew.

Russ: I am doing Prew.

Tia: no you're not. You're not putting enough emphasis on the middle.

Russ: Proo.

Tia: Prew. See what I mean, you can't get me down for it.

Russ: yes. I found out about being in the correct my frequencies today. I didn't know about you, Mark, and Kiri.

Tia: uh-huh. Yeah, I think that's a great idea of ours is the timeshare.

Russ: well, so how's that going to work?

Tia: carefully.
