Something is rotten in the State of Denmark because Darla
hasn't made it back or called home and now Dr. Strange is using the
purported aliens net address. Hmmmmmmm, could the world wide UFO
reported Gray's (Grey's) have taken over our cosmic friends base in
space? I don't like it, something's afoot. Dr. Yubiwan sounds negative
unlike Darla and alien Mermaid crews uplifting posts. Could the reported
hostile Gray's (Grey's) or men in black actually have found our cosmic
friends base in space, per Greysky near Jupiter, or cover base on Earth?
Troubling, very troubling to say the least. I knew when I received that
automated generated Pere transmission something was up because Darla
advised they would always answer all nightbat calls and I only had to
whistle. Hmmmmmmm, yes, this mystery Dr. strange only adds more intrigue
to where is our Darla? That my cosmic friend Sil broke radio net comm
silence to get messages to me and our group was comforting, but then
suddenly resultantly silenced by the reported most senior crew member
Kiyo, hmmmmmm, smells like trouble in paradise.
I knew it, just as my friend Silly was advising of first official
contact day finally approaching someone or some group silenced her. Come
on a Ph.D. in space, then why haven't he or she introduced themselves
properly? Someone assumes no need for proper protocols or manners, very
much like secret authoritative governing non civilian or past reported
Gray's (Grey's) mode of operandi, extreme negative behavior change is a
red flag. Sure, no assurance to Bert that his sweet potato pie offering
is respectfully acknowledged, no good or bad cloud jump mission reports,
no back lip to oc's out of lurking mode posts, silencing of Sil, Kiyo
reported adhering to comm silence and now so called Dr. Strange takes
over the alien comm. Hmmmmmmmmm, nightbat's out of crate bull shit meter
swings to red, this does not compute.
I suspected a drama was being played out in space but this is possibly
even more sinister or worrisome then ever expected. Could our cosmic
friends have run into dangerous other alien race trouble? Have they
taken over Darla's space base and are they holding the left back reserve
crew hostage? Oh no, this can't be, or is it? Is that why this uppity
Dr. Ph.D. acts so confident and negatively towards multiverse Earth sci
fi theorist's and some of our alt.astronomy posters?
Why is it that my pocket UFO detector is not picking up any cosmic Darla
signals and why isn't Greysky on this like the flash that he normally
is? Sure, sure, Double-A says just give them more time to complete their
mission, but then why this Dr. Strange taking over their comm? Painius
even sent out a lovely original poem with no answer from Darla? Just not
like them, something's afoot. I know Min's posts are filled with bias
hate but that couldn't be it, could it?
Anyway, I'll try fine tuning my UFO pocket crystal detector a little
more, heck, I have it on infinity now as it is. Well, maybe if I add an
high powered amp to it I'll be able to pickup something, anything,
where's Greysky when you need him? Hand me one of your Bud Light's Bert,
will ya? This suspense is too much and building up. Who is this strange
net comm Dr.?

You talk about Darla allot, who, what exactly are you talking about?

I wouldn't worry about it yet. A tour to the Magellenic Cloud is going to
take them some time using that 'primitive' clipper ship engine of theirs.
(kidding). Meanwhile, back on EarthDome, others are using the comm. channel
out friends are borrowing to get onto the internet, and if I know the
gubba'ment, those good 'ol black hats are wanting to silence anyone they
can - kinda like a CB radio brat throwing a carrier over someone you want to
talk to. I have no doubt when our cosmic pals get back from their long
jaunt they will send you some space decoder rings, and me some filamentary
star-stuff (shielded and even more shielded). And we can all hope they
didn't eat any of Berts sweet potato pie while en rout or they maybe passed
their destination while either in the head, or trying to 'get the wood out'
heh heh...Of course, I have my FTL Gizmo fired up and tuned to 1,4545455 Hz

No, I mean 'really', Mr. Sheppard, why are you still here?
That is, why, after professing to want to remain in lurker status due to

Of course, you don't 'really' torment me, you just make feeble attempts to
do so.
Since this is good for your fellow posters, those who miss you and who like
to see you dig at Darla, we shall continue to laugh at your inconsistencies
and giggle at your silly, gender biased remarks.
So why, then, Mr. Sheppard?
Could it be because you are far, far more disgusted with yourself and with
your inadequacy to give the memory and greatness of Mr. Wolter due process

How can what you don't know be assessed if you are not forthcoming with what
you do know?
How can I believe you know 'lots' if you have trouble even spelling the
phrase, 'Cepheid variables'?
Your lack of integrity is astounding, Mr. Anglesea, especially when you
consider that you answer your question to me before you even give me a
chance to answer first.
Of Course I can can tell you something you don't know about them that
follows logically.
Yet first you must be forthcoming about what you know.

Feelings

Feelings of inadequacy are healthy, Mr. Anglesea.
I would never be able to do what some of the other crewmembers here do.
Without feelings of inadequacy I might attempt something I don't know how to
do with perfectly horrible results.
You on the other hand evidently like to feel superior, to raise yourself
above others in order to hide your own fears and inadequacies, your feelings
of inferiority.
This is a common, classic malignancy among humans.
Welcome to my 'couch'.
Accept yourself just as you are, and then begin to promote loving feelings
for yourself and for others.
When you can love the worst thing about yourself, when you can feel strong,
loving ties with your worst enemies, only then will you begin to find
balance.
Only then will you begin to understand why you secretly, slowly kill
yourself, and why your enemies hate you so much.
You can still be as guarded and as skeptical as you like.
My only fee for my services is that you turn this into a healthy, productive
skepticism.
If you will not at least try, then sod off and quit wasting our time.
Dr. Yubiwan, Ph.D.
That's an easy one, isn't it?
This is what we have been nurturing all along.
Unofficial contact requires ultimately that we nurture disbelief.
Our slips are showing not because we have loose slips, but because it is the
showing slip which catches the eye.
We have answered your questions several times.
Why are you acting so stupidly?
Are you totally incapable of comprehending?
More likely you are, as I said before, backed up against an impenetrable
barrier of fear.
You don't recognize the truth because you overwhelmingly fear that you and
Wolter are dead wrong.
So even if you and Wolter are right, you'll never know because you are too
afraid to be disproved.
Doesn't this circular logic you keep pushing like a drug ring true?
Or are you so far gone that your brain cells have turned to mud?
(Tough love's a bitch, isn't it.)
Dr. Yubiwan, Ph.D.

OK, let start with you answering this: What is the effect (if any) of the
presence of metals on the evolution and period luminoisity relationships of
Cepehids. Can make any assumptions on what effect this will have on distance
measurements, and give me the maths? I ask you this question, because I
asked my class the very same thing last week.
Be careful of just looking it up on the web and coming up with a pat answer.
None of my class did so, lets see if your aliens are as smart as my
students.

Start posting on Astronomy, or as you say, "sod off". Until then, expect to

Let's face it, it's your claim of PhD *in addition* to your claim of
alien-hood that's getting you all the flak. Oh, and you say y'all have
already given us that difinitive discourse on space and gravity. How
about a recap of it then? No dice?
You might as well pack it in and go lurk some more. Might
learn somethin'. oc
Mr. Sheppard, I grow bored with you.
You already know what I require in order to recap.
If you do not attempt to answer my questions, then all the explanations I
can give you won't sink into your thick skull.
RTFQ you silly hick.
Dr. Yubiwan, Ph.D.

Not a very good one at any rate.
Do you expect your students to soak things up like a sponge?
Do you blame them when they fail?
Or do you rightfully take and accept full responsibility for failing to
teach them?

Sod off, until you can show me you're a teacher and a good one.
Three testimonials from your students are required at this point.

You have no proof of this accusation.
It's a wonder you have any money left.
I'd sue you myself, but I'm not in this for the money, and I already know
who you are, so it would advance me nothing.
This I can appreciate.
This is the first thing you've said that makes good sense.
It's not an accusation, but a skeptical opinion.
Stick to this and we may both be able to learn something spectacular.

Thanks Bert, I don't normally bat drink especially in the early
morning but that ice cold Bud is too good to resist right about now.
(:~) Double-A now concurs something's afoot with our Darla and the
Strange Dr. taking over the alien comm. So you deduce Darla and crew now
are pure sci fi, the guy that eats that book stuff up like candy, ha,
ha, ha, ha, ok Bert. But what if like you say they are on the level,
what then? Hmmmmmmm, even oc came out of lurking mode to challenge the
good Dr., let's see what develops. I suspected Darla was taking a long
time to make it back, or answer our posts, but what is it, why the
mystery Dr., is Double-A right and the mission is just taking longer
then expected for our Earth time? Does that mean we will be older then
Darla when she/he finally makes it back? Ha, ha, ha, ha, what are we
talking about, a few more weeks, months, years, centuries, what?
Your making naked cosmic Darla blush is something I would like to see
myself, however under the present circumstances not likely.

Fun, you say fun Greysky, when our alien Darla friends might be
in trouble out in the furthest most regions of space? I needed that ice
cold Bud light Bert gave me just to help calm my immediate fears for
their safety. Wow, what's going on, first they tell us they are going to
alien comm silence by my friend Sil and most senior Kiyo and now a
strange doc takes over with an Earth based school title, huh? Glad to
hear you're not picking anything up on your FTL comm either Greysky,
they must be so far out no tellin when they will make it back. But why
the comm hush and now Dr. Strange on the scene?

Simply to indicate that it is at least as much Their board as it is yours.

This still smacks of your superiority complex, Mr. Anglesea.
Why is it that I have to prove myself to you, but you don't have to prove
yourself to me?
You've shown just as much bullshit thus far as have I.
What makes you so special? and how precisely do you justify calling others
kooks?
You've shown yourself to be at least as kooky as I may appear to be.
You must truly fear the idea of extraterrestrial life.
What the heck will you do when we go public?

Wait a minute Bert, your Bud Light must be giving me a bat buzz
and is keeping me up, are you saying you had plans on fantasy eating
Darla, but in reality you think she/he has plans on eating you, huh? You
forget Darla purportedly has the ability to reverse age so you might
still be in the ball game if you know what I mean. Never give up hope,
science has a way of making what was thought impossible, real, and I
have put in a good word for you with the mystery Doc.

Sorry to hear of your computer troubles LJ and yes I had
respectfully answered you. Reported Darla and alien crew are the
unofficial alien ongoing net contact trying to assess our readiness for
first official alien human contact. Presently cosmic Darla and the
Commander Proz and alien crew are on a mission and purportedly are on
their way back to Earth quadrant. This past year they have been
contacting select science group members for interchange of dialog and
knowledge transfer to evaluate our hopeful final official public contact
advanced race reception and their possible Earth prepared landing.

Your panic is noted.
Although the true source for your fear is found within you, I understand
that you just cannot help yourself.
Until your species evolves past this fear, your friends (and enemies) in
space will just have to deal with it.
Of course, your enemies may exploit your sweatiness, your nervous laughter.
So the least You can do is show some courage!

Dr. Yubiwan, Ph.D.
The way of the Fear:
Dr. Yubiwan, Ph.D.
This is all very interesting, Mr. Glazier.
Darla still uses the same name.
Darla has possessed the entire name since birth.
(Of course, the entire name is much longer and only begins with the sounds,
"dar-la".)
Darla is quite fond of you, you know.
I'm told that your brand of multi-directional thinking, and your evidenced
desire to test your ideas out on the many great minds in these science
newsgroups, completely fascinate and intrigue our number-one biologist.
Darla's parents are far away exploring the galaxy hub.
Their modified shields have gotten them to within 6.34 light years of the
main central energetic 'singularity'.
And their outstanding brains are very similar.
We are very much more dolphin-like than primate-like, to be sure.
The Only signal we are receiving presently from the LMC explorers is a
"thumbs up", meaning that they are all still alive and well.
We expect a more complex signal with a more comprehensive status report just
a soon as the Orion bridge clears of travelers.
I'm sure that if Darla were here, you would see the customary large grin <G>
along with an explanation similar to this one.
Sorry if you, nightbat and others feel that my bedside manner needs
improvement.
But I have reason enough to be firm with my kook attackers.
The Perseuns could show up at any time, and if they do, there will at least
be some of you who can pass on the information about them to your leaders
when they (the Perseuns) make official contact.
They shall first allow you time to consider surrendering to them.
Frankly, you would be well-advised to take the full amount of time to
prepare to fight them.
It would not be wise to surrender, for any respect they might hold for you
would quickly go down the tubes.
Upon your official decision to fight, they will give you ample time to
complete your preparations.
Their moral framework only allows them to battle using the highest level of
weapons which their enemies use against them.
And your species outnumbers them, although their smaller number (a few
million individual fighters) is much better organized for war than you are.
Also, they are much higher in intelligence than humans, so your race will
have to rise to the occasion.
Hopefully, the Perseuns will not give in to their natural curiosity and
explore this star system as they cross back on the Orion bridge.
So you probably won't have to deal with them.
This heads up is 'just in case' they come knocking.
Dr. Yubiwan, Ph.D.
What was Darla's English mother doing having sex with a dolphin-like creature?
Was this in some sort of adult rated circus sideshow?

There is so much beauty about your planet, both above and below your ocean
surface, real and mythical.
I'd say they're yours.
Dr. Yubiwan, Ph.D.
How quaintly astute!
May I suggest you fight them with ... wits?
Dr. Yubiwan, Ph.D.
You know--I was expecting the notorious human humorous wit of the type seen
from Messrs. Double-A, Vingnutte and Glazier, but I am at once astounded and
pleased by the acumen both you and Mr. Bohne have shown.
Indeed, Mr. Bohne even 'combines' humor and wisdom!
The downside is that the Perseuns, while never using a level of weaponry
higher than that used against them, are not averse to using lower levels of
weaponry.
In other words, if you begin to fight them using 'pens' and 'wits', and
later some of you resort to 'guns' and 'bombs', you will receive same from
them in retaliation.
The peoples you cite from your past are indeed valid examples and concerns.
The one thing you may have going for you is your adaptability.
You have learned enough from your wartime experiences to know that the
combination of territoriality and adaptability (cite your Korean and Vietnam
observations/experiences) is virtually indestructible without far-superior
weaponry.
As for our intervention, we cannot hope to help you much with our skeleton
crew.
You will have to stall the Perseuns as long as possible until our frontier
explorers return.
At that point, the Perseuns will break off their attack and go after our
crew.
We are the ones they really want after all.
They will see your planet as only a curious diversion.
Our crew will lure them to a safe battlefield and show them 'what fer', as
you say.
Ease your mind, as distressful feelings will help only up to a point.
Be led by the fearless, or at the very least, by the courageous.
You have shown yourselves to be up to the occasion.
Now all you need is a little luck!
Dr. Yubiwan, Ph.D.

Careful Double-A, I'm trying to secure a cosmic stream star ship
window seat for you if and when Darla and brave crew make it back soon.
Please excuse Bert's beer induced twisted fantasies, after all he has
apologized to Darla for his occasional heightened net displayed lust for
the exotic diva. It's not every day a net star adventurer stunner comes
our way with thoughts of eternal youth and possible star ship rides.
While you may look upon them as alien creatures I'm sure they may have
an initial general view far less of us. Myself I have an objective
scientific reserved opinion and the net relationship of Sil and nightbat
may be likened to the Earth legend of Pocahontas and John Smith, two
very different race star crossed souls trying to breach the cosmic great
divide despite unimaginable odds.

Words, a.k.a. propaganda, are indeed very effective weapons of war.
If you can convince your enemy that he is already defeated before the
battle even begins, then you can achieve one of those stunning
victories where almost no one on your side is killed. Soldiers who
are running away are not much of a danger.
We say this tactic effectively used in both Gulf Wars I and II.
The problem now in Iraq is that remaining entrenched enemies do not
"believe" in defeat. For them even death is seen as victory! Hence
our soldiers continue to be killed.

I told you Lloyd... you really DON'T want to know. Darla is a net kook who

"studying" us mere mortals. So far no anal probes, but who knows.

Thank you, The Nightbat, for this poetry, and for the poems of Virginia and
Painius as well.
This brings out many feelings, and one is: there is nothing to forgive.
So we are back in-galaxy and what do I see?
Understandable misgivings about our resident psychologist.
(Nobody likes Dr. Yubiwan, by the way.
The good doctor is honest to the extremis, i.e., to the point of death.)
To begin, we found LIFE!
Yes, we were a bit surprised to find life in the satellite galaxy.
It's very low level life, however life nonetheless.
The upside is that our 3T system (Transfer Travel Technique) we used to go
to the LMC can also be utilized to explore all of our galaxy's other
satellite structures, too.
The downside is that we learned that the 3T system is unusable for exploring
beyond the satellites.
We'll have to find another way to get to Triangulum and Andromeda.
We have our work cut out for us, now, because we gathered so much data.
We actually processed more information than your entire planet generates in
nearly a million years!
It will take at least a week to completely digest all of this.
We note that Wally Anglesea once again asked about Cepheid Variables.
There really are only three types of knowledge we can give you on CVs:
1. Information you already know.
2. Information you don't know, but other scientists on your planet Do know,
and you would be able to confirm this.
3. Information you don't know, but you would not be able to confirm.
As you see, none of this would be useful to you.
We realize that this is very unsatisfying to you, but YOU must realize that
your belief that we are a kook or kooks or something other than what we say
we are is acceptable to us.
We seek only knowledge from individuals like you, so your doubts are
expected and respected.
If you really want to learn more about CVs, I suggest you exhume some of
Leavitt's personal papers.
http://tinyurl.com/5rs6c
Some of the research was withheld due to the way Leavitt was treated by
colleagues.
Leavitt recorded all findings in a personal journal, though.
Happy Hunting, dear shaper of young minds!
And by the way, we've made peace with the Perseuns.
It was all just a misunderstanding, and they are happy with the improvements
we gave them.
When their curiosity sent them in your direction, Silouen went out to engage
them (without permission, as usual).
Yubiwan chased after Silouen as a backup and was able to talk them out of
their hostilities toward us.
Yes, Yubiwan was just as surprised about the success as we were.
So we are presently enjoying a little downtime on their home planet in the
Perseus Arm.
Before I leave you, on the subject of official contact, most of us are still
working on Pros Pere.
Pere continues to be doubtful of Earth's readiness and firm about gathering
more INDIVIDUAL data before making a final decision.
We must respect this, because once contact is made, there is no turning
back.
I know that none of you really believe that we are who we say we are.
However, when official contact takes place, there will be no further doubt
in your minds, and your lives will be altered forever in ways that you can
now only imagine.
Thanks also to Ray Vingnutte, Charles D. Bohne, Bert, and all the others who
responded to Silouen and Yubiwan.
We look forward to meeting all of you in the near future.
So be happy and well.
Always remember to smile so you may generate those healing, life-extending
endorphins!
Darla
Hey Darla - good to see you and yours have had a safe and productive
journey. We missed you guys, you know. I think even your critics, though
they wont admit to this, fell into a slump as well. :) As for Dr. Y, he's
not such a pain in the ass...its good to know he is not a "Hollywood"
doctor. Honesty may be painful, but you know the old saying, "Only through
pain can growth occure."
> To begin, we found LIFE!

That's interesting. So there are galaxies out there where life, for whatever
reason, is either just getting started, or has stagnated at the simple
level. Makes me think we should appreciate this special milky way we have
been placed into, even if we are not too advanced ourselves.

To get to Triangulum, you will need my Pinto, fueled by LSD :) Seriously
though, seems to me you have made yeomans progress to date. The journey to a
thousand galaxies begins with a jaunt to the first one. Perhaps ther are
other, higher level energies linking non-satellite galaxies to each other
you can make use of? I've a feeling you are close to a breakthrough in this
area...

Hey, I'll take data that I can't confirm. That's called speculation and is
perfectly accetable in some circles, but is still safe as long as it remains
unconfirmed. As soon as it is, then it opens up the possibility (in closed
minds) that you are who you say you are.

You know, you have a very special kid, there. In time, she will make a good
captain of her own ship. That she decided to battle the Perseuns for us says
a lot. Even Dr. Yubiwan - he isn't all snapping turtle.

Hmm... perhaps thereis one more point the Good Captain should consider in
all of this. Though we are seperated from you by lightyears, look at the
conseqquences born of your decision to contact us. We are causing your crew
to take actions they would perhaps never have taken otherwise. Rescuing Sil,
when you would have not gone out one last time. And now we have dragged the
pood old Doctor into our web of influence. And the outcome is he made peace
with a potential hostile race. You see, though Dr. Youbiwan may be surprised
at the outcome he achieved, I am not. We humans are acting as a Remote
Operator, modifying your lives in a positive way. I am beginning to see the
connection between Sil and us as more than chance. She is going to become an
important player in the relations between our peoples in ways neither you,
or Pros Pere, nor I can see. I would ask Pros to not be too set against
contact, for whatever reason, but I really think the decision wont be his to
make. We are all mere players on Destinies' stage, and when it does happen,
we are all going to be swept along in whatever roles we will have, given to
us by forces incomprehensibly more powerful than we all are. So, I will keep
a bottle of wine chilled for what I know will be happening soon - and a
bottle of ice cold root beer being reserved for Sil if she doesn't drink
alcohol yet.

Hi Darla,
Glad you are back.
I like you and your gentle personality much better than that nasty,
hyperactive, and out control Dr. Yubiwan!
Please keep the Dr. locked up, or sublimated as the case may be.
Double-A
You're Welcome, Mr. A!
I'm always happy to be of helpful service.
Dr. Yubiwan, Ph.D.
There Can be growth without pain, you know, Greysky.
Dr. Yubiwan merely returned the responses in kind, much the same as Pere
would do.
Which is not surprising when you know that Yubiwan is Pere's mentor and
teacher.
What IS surprising is how Pere remains firm regarding contact.
Both Yubiwan and myself generally have great influence over The Proz, but in
this case Pere is thus far unwavering.

Well, at least one other galaxy that we know about now.
The life in the LMC is older than all life on Earth, and yet it has risen no
higher than simple asexual reproduction.
You may recall that Earth was like this for the vast majority of its
existence.
It's only since sexual reproduction came along that great variety became the
norm.

Thank you, Greysky, but actually we haven't got a clue.
The 3T system it turns out is far too slow to use to go more than a few
million light years.
To go the distance in question, we will have to soup things up a bit. <G>

Probably best to maintain your present rate of progress for now.
Some people are already having machination nightmares.

once official contact has been made.

Wally Anglesea wants to use the data to confirm/deny who we are.
For this purpose such information is useless, so we must accept that he and
others will remain in denial regarding extraterrestrial flesh.
And besides, even if some data eventually becomes confirmable,
Wally-Anglesea-types will simply rationalize and call it a "lucky guess" on
our part.
Believe me, there is no help for the terminally skeptical.
Thank you, yes, I'm so proud of Silouen I could strap her to a falling star
and applaud her flaming descent!
Sil has a lot to learn.
She actually faced the Perseuns head-on putting herself between them and
your star system.
They sensed the higher-level tools and hesitated attacking just long enough
for Yubiwan to get there and open a dialogue.
There's just no stopping her when she thinks she's right.
I shall give Pros Pere your estimation.
I'm not sure what is going on in that head, but I Do know we are finding out
that there is much greater diversity in the people of Earth AS INDIVIDUALS
than there is between your genus and many of the other forms of life on your
planet.
This may serve to heighten the chaos that would ensue, and cause the turmoil
to endure longer than expected.

Why is this so, what problems did your expedition encounter to
indicate 3T system limitations? Is it weak or lack of cosmic streams
beyond the satellites or no proximate outer galactic dense star to lock

That's too nasty Bert, a shot in the distinguished nightbat moon
when all I have is praise for your sometimes positive in all directions
dart throwing but negative sci fi book reliance friend propensity.
Remember to or distinguish the purpose of sci fi no evidence based for
book sales act not the messenger. Doctor Strange Bones says the Earth
sci fi hype is good when the book sales are used to promote real science
and it can be perceived ok in that light. Our cosmic diva Darla comes in
peace and good will towards men not ray guns to blast them in the butt.
Ha, ha, ha, ha, you're so funny Bert, laser guns, that's so B movie of
you, why would Darla ever think of harming an Earthman like profound
helpful nightbat? Darla admits our honoring poetry sets off such
feelings of passion long forgotten in the millennia of their dedicated
exploring space travel.
I can never match the poetic gift of amazing Painius, Virginia, or
Double-A, but I try since we need those star ship seats to hopefully
finally make it off this planet within our Earth limited lifetime. I
want those space sub light year traveling youth effecting miles to start
helping you become young again Bert. Not just sweet potato mentally but
actually physically eternal youthful like our Darla. I want to see our
other Maverick oc surrounded on the star ship by stunning brilliant
naked young alien multi sex cadets eagerly trying to understand Wolter's
outside force premise. Zinni's look on his face as boards the star craft
following oc for final physical analysis of secret intergalactic craft.

Yes Greysky, think of the possibilities, once you learn how the
Darla crew monitors all local galactic info data across multi
frequencies simultaneously and is able to broadcast over LY distances,
you may not want to leave the star ship. I respect the Pros because he
doesn't like taking unnecessary chances, the mark of a capable leader.
His/her concern is mine because of the unknown factors when dealing with
emotionally based humans and how they will react to official public
contact day. We would have fun for sure playing with the comm but what
about the multitudes, how will they ultimately take first contact and
proof we are not alone? Mass panic, shock, fear, disbelief, hostility,
paranoia and suspicion, or awe and respectful acceptance, who knows?

You're much too modest Greysky, every security Government agency
probably has you on their watch list, using your net gizmo to try to
listen in on possible alien communications. The public spotlight is ok
for those that enjoy it, however, most times researchers prefer quiet
time to further discover what they experimentally deduce and always
aware of the implications of major breakthroughs. I caught your post on
taking back physics, but fat chance because they know how important it
is to National Security. One leap or one major technical advantage can
alter the balance of power overnight. Nightbat and Greysky aboard a star
ship will know what power we will have at our disposal, but can we be so
sure of general mortals. Will notified Earthlings be protective like the
Pros and vigilant alien crew, or override our mutual sincere scientific
assurances and take collective protective Earth folk negative actions?
Will the military forces disregard the nightbat and Greysky's insistence
on mutual highest of diplomatic protocol, even if Mr. Bohne gives it his
all too? Collectively can the enlightened alt.astronomy respectful
members stop world chaotic actions should panic ensue? I would settle
for distant on space craft Earth observation and guarded notification to
preempt any danger of first peaceful official contact, exactly like
Darla and crew are attempting.
I long to meet Sil but our immediate wants must take a back seat to
protecting all parties to allow a smooth integration of alien race 1st
official contact and avoiding mass panic. I stand with the Commander
Pros in this regard, it can be done, but will require the most delicate
of world nations notification to assure the Earth people of the aliens
peaceful intentions.
Look at the flack and ridicule you receive Greysky just for FTL
pronouncement possibilities. Can you imagine if we were to world
communications alien comm break in and star ship ride broadcast over the
entire world that they are here, please do not panic? Practical
Inventor's are not like some extremely intelligent but at times
ambiguous mathheads, for having a working model brings with it its great
responsibility and normal crowd suspicions. We know the difficulties of
being at the head of the crowd, one slip up and from authority you can
be made dust under the crowds feet. Who wants an historian to claim
centuries later, gee those guys were just way ahead of their time.
the nightbat
Yes, no doubt the first few days after confirmed official contact will be
tense ones. Though I would much rather get lost inside the innards of the
ships engineering room- using 'Star Trek' as an example, I would probably
be a Geordy LaForge or a Scotty type than a Spock or Kirk type- but think
my efforts would be spent mostly to ease first contact pangs.
I suspect we all will be busy well before official first contact day. I
think those well established first contact proceedures will begin the day
Pros decides to 'go ahead', and they will involve all of us here and whoever
else our friends have contacted here on earth. Our lives will change way
before the president of the USA or the leader of the EU or the Russisan
Primere is awakened by space telemetry administrators bearing a message from
the deep.

heh, History grinds us all into a fine powder. The one thing I know for
sure, is I have a basic faith in humanities propensity to benifit from any
situation. I hope our desire to advance ourselves will quickly overwhelm any
fear response we may have. After getting our running orders, we will all -
you, me, Bert, Virginia, Bohne- every one of us- will be doing the talk show
circuit. I am afraid fame will come to all of us instantly like a Mack Truck
in the face, whether we want it or not. The general public will at first be
fearful because they do not have information to realize their fear is
groundless - and if we do our job correctly once the world public realizes
that not only are the aliens not here to invade, but they bear the gifts of
long life, health, and knowledge undreamed of, it won't take people long to
get with the program, which is the program of life. It's time for the Human
Baby to leave the crib. Then, you can sweet tech-talk Sil while I wander
dazedly through the ships' centers seeing what there is to see, while we are
all on our way to explore the Triangulum with a souped up Hyperdrive running
on Mexican sweet potatoes and poetry.
