Speaker 1: So this is what I when we generally start with
Speaker 1: to see how instinct.
Speaker 2: We are as a group.
Speaker 1: I want you all to say, table read gateway on
Speaker 1: the count of three in a good voice.
Speaker 2: Camp Clark one two great, table read gateway.
Speaker 1: Yeah, steaks, I steaks, yep.
Speaker 3: Why is it into number two school though I just
Speaker 3: pushed throttles to full flight.
Speaker 2: There must be a flame out again.
Speaker 1: We start checklist.
Speaker 4: We're losing outs two just cross flight level two zero
Speaker 4: zero now at one niner zero, dropping fast.
Speaker 1: I apologize art.
Speaker 5: This passenger says it's.
Speaker 1: A CIA agent or t I need the radio. Get out,
Speaker 1: whoever you are. Engine two not responding to the radio.
Speaker 1: I need to speak the language right now.
Speaker 3: If I don't get the engine restarted, we lay crash.
Speaker 1: We turn to your seat. That's in order.
Speaker 6: The engine is gone. Soon you'll lose hydraulic pressure and
Speaker 6: flight control. We will crash. But first I need the radio.
Speaker 4: Ten thousand feet there's no response to reach our procedures.
Speaker 1: It's like the engine isn't even there. Why do Tendant
Speaker 1: prepare the cabins for impact well.
Speaker 4: After caution, we've losted hydraulic pressure and flight control.
Speaker 1: Give me that radio. I have critical information about neutralizing
Speaker 1: the antitudes? Did cause this crack?
Speaker 4: Often we're polonel, give me the fucking rain he sent,
Speaker 4: Get back to your seat.
Speaker 7: Ah, you shot him?
Speaker 1: Why would you give me the radio stout?
Speaker 8: I have.
Speaker 1: Hello. This is Lieutenant Colonel Wayne M. McDonald retired, and
Speaker 1: I have a story to tell you. In nineteen seventy seven,
Speaker 1: I got the assignment to investigate and report on the
Speaker 1: Gateway Project, a means for man to venture beyond time
Speaker 1: and space?
Speaker 6: Could we spy on.
Speaker 1: Russia from a great distance? Were they spying on us already?
Speaker 1: I was a man tasked with finding answers that were
Speaker 1: needed and quickly. I served a tour of duty and
Speaker 1: US Army intelligence in the early seventies known as Project
Speaker 1: four oh four. I was in Laos covertly assisting US
Speaker 1: interests in Vietnam. The report I submitted got me this
Speaker 1: far more controversial assignment. I discovered things you might not believe.
Speaker 6: But should.
Speaker 1: Do a quick Google search for analysis and Assessment of
Speaker 1: Gateway Process CIA. You'll find an actual document from the
Speaker 1: CIA website written by none other than yours. Truly, click
Speaker 1: on that and have a read. Be advised they might
Speaker 1: open a file on you for looking at the report.
Speaker 6: I don't know.
Speaker 1: I don't work there anymore. In nineteen seventy seven, I
Speaker 1: was stationed at Fort George G. Mead Army intelligence base
Speaker 1: in Maryland near Washington, DC, five thousand acres of military
Speaker 1: personnel doing tops egret intelligence work keeping the free world safe.
Speaker 1: At the time, we were transcribing and translating all of
Speaker 1: Russia's radio and TV broadcasts, thousands of hours of tapes analyzed,
Speaker 1: looking for patterns codes. It was a standard day in
Speaker 1: my lab until it wasn't. I've gotten parsons. When you
Speaker 1: have today's radio transmissions entered, get started on the task
Speaker 1: news feed.
Speaker 9: I'll have it done within the hour. Lieutenant Colonel McDonald.
Speaker 1: General, adis a rare pleasure. I didn't realize we had
Speaker 1: an inspection today.
Speaker 6: No inspection, General, This room is secure and silent.
Speaker 1: Yes, sir, fully TSSC, I secure my briefcase.
Speaker 6: Please is this serious?
Speaker 1: I think I saw this on Star Trek last week.
Speaker 10: Do I impress you as a joking man? No, sir,
Speaker 10: everyone out, But Lieutenant Colonel McDonald.
Speaker 1: Sir, you heard the general.
Speaker 6: Ever listen to this.
Speaker 1: Give you that radio. I have a critical information about
Speaker 1: detrilizing the entity. Get cause this crowd. I've been with
Speaker 1: Alope say about the group? Was that the plane that
Speaker 1: went down last month? Yes, terrorists posing a CIA a lunatic.
Speaker 10: No, In fact, that was a legitimate CIA operation Agent
Speaker 10: Manny Orties. Limited details on the operation are in this file.
Speaker 10: You think the Russians or some other hostile force.
Speaker 1: You think a hostile force brought that plane down trying
Speaker 1: to get to someone.
Speaker 6: What I think is in being discussed. Just your orders,
Speaker 6: Roger Letzer.
Speaker 10: The cockpit recording you just heard has been shared with
Speaker 10: fewer than ten people. That portion was cut out of
Speaker 10: the official NTSB version.
Speaker 1: I don't understand.
Speaker 10: Sometime back science it Sack Bentof made us aware of
Speaker 10: some facts, facts regarding expanded states of consciousness that allowed
Speaker 10: traveling by thought. The Russians had been studying it for years.
Speaker 10: They had been trying to get to our man bent Off.
Speaker 1: And you think they crashed that plane?
Speaker 6: Ortiz was a decoy flying under Bentoff's name.
Speaker 1: How did they bring it down?
Speaker 10: That's what you're going to find out. You're not going
Speaker 10: to mention that crash or recording. Ever, the world's reaction
Speaker 10: to such information would be catastrophic, Yes.
Speaker 1: Sir, is is this another MK ultra.
Speaker 6: No.
Speaker 10: You'll create a report, but it won't mention that incident
Speaker 10: or our spying or our missing spy planes.
Speaker 1: The pair of SR seventy ones had crashed. I thought
Speaker 1: they were mechanical issues.
Speaker 6: So did we until we got that recording.
Speaker 1: Sir. It all seems rather incredible. Initially, I'm inclined to
Speaker 1: be skeptical.
Speaker 10: You'll be on a transport to Monroe Institute in Virginia
Speaker 10: at oh six hundred tomorrow. You're going to get to
Speaker 10: the bottom of this. I want facts. That buzz box
Speaker 10: on your belt.
Speaker 1: It's a pager. General, you could reach me anywhere in
Speaker 1: the world. My assistant, Captain Parson's handles all.
Speaker 6: Messaging stay handy.
Speaker 1: Yes, sir, I was given a puzzle without all the pieces.
Speaker 1: But on the ninth of June nineteen eighty three, I
Speaker 1: issued a final report. Sadly, before I finished that report,
Speaker 1: our brilliant scientist Itsak Bentoff died on a doomed airliner
Speaker 1: in Chicago. Oddly, this time, even the cockpit voice recorder
Speaker 1: failed before anything else.
Speaker 6: No clues.
Speaker 1: You can google that too. American Airlines Flight one ninety
Speaker 1: one it was a serious setback. This is the story
Speaker 1: of that report before and after it was released by
Speaker 1: the CIA, the things I learned and the places I saw.
Speaker 1: But please read my report. You tasked me to provide
Speaker 1: an assessment of the Gateway experience in terms of its
Speaker 1: mechanics and ultimate practicality. As I set out to fulfill
Speaker 1: that tasking, it soon became clear that in order to
Speaker 1: assess the validity and practicality of the process, I needed
Speaker 1: to do enough supporting research and analysis to fully understand
Speaker 1: how and why the process works. Frankly, sir, that proved
Speaker 1: to be an extremely involved and difficult business.
Speaker 5: Follow me to the lab, sir, Mister Monroe was waiting.
Speaker 2: Lieutenant Colonel McDonald, Nice to meet you. I'm Robert Monroe.
Speaker 2: Welcome to my lab. Sit down.
Speaker 1: Please thank you Monroe. I've read the research.
Speaker 2: You think it sounds like a bunch of bullshit, don't.
Speaker 1: You, sir? My personal opinions don't enter into this. I'm
Speaker 1: here to fully evaluate your process from an objective viewpoint.
Speaker 1: Monroe wasn't dumb. He knew it really did sound like bullshit,
Speaker 1: but he needed credibility with the military, and my report
Speaker 1: could provide it.
Speaker 2: You've been ordered to keep an open mind.
Speaker 1: That is an accurate assessment.
Speaker 2: Can you start training tomorrow?
Speaker 1: Sure, I need somewhere to drop my personal items, but
Speaker 1: i'd like to start today.
Speaker 2: Perfect. I'll have Nurse Fields show you to your quarters
Speaker 2: and we'll get started.
Speaker 1: Initially, based on conversations with a physician who took the
Speaker 1: gateway training with me, I had recourse to the biomedical
Speaker 1: models developed by Itsak bent Off to obtain information concerning
Speaker 1: the physical aspects of the process. The long hours of
Speaker 1: training were eased somewhat by the caring hands of Nurse Fields,
Speaker 1: but even she turned out to be more complicated than
Speaker 1: she first appeared.
Speaker 9: Please lay back down, Lieutenant Colonel. I'm going to attach
Speaker 9: some electrodes. Relax, get comfortable.
Speaker 1: Will I be hypnotized?
Speaker 5: Probably not today, but eventually. Yes.
Speaker 1: Do I have time for a cigarette?
Speaker 5: Nicotine disrupts the process. Are you nervous?
Speaker 1: Why would I be nerve I'm just listening to some sounds.
Speaker 5: Did you read all of the materials you may want to.
Speaker 1: Mister Monroe?
Speaker 2: Are you ready, Lieutenant Colonel?
Speaker 1: Ready as I can be.
Speaker 2: Okay, Now you're going to listen to some sounds and
Speaker 2: speech in this sensory deprivation chamber. A series of tones
Speaker 2: will help bring you into hemispherical synchronization. Left brain and
Speaker 2: right brain broad into sync. We call it hemicyink. Okay,
Speaker 2: you will note flashing lights on the ceiling as you
Speaker 2: reach hemsink, both halfs of your brain finally working as one.
Speaker 2: If you need us, we'll be in the control room.
Speaker 2: All right. Relax and observe the flow of energy around you.
Speaker 2: You'll be guided through each of these focus levels. You'll
Speaker 2: find increasing abilities in each as you rise.
Speaker 1: Upping my focus level huh sounds like mumbo jumbo.
Speaker 2: Relax and observe. You'll be aware of each focus level
Speaker 2: and its meaning as we progress today, I will aim
Speaker 2: for Focus twelve, where you can traverse time and space.
Speaker 5: I'll join you there Focus twelve. The standard protocol.
Speaker 2: Was suspended for these tests. Lieutenant Colonel McDonald has had
Speaker 2: years of military training, a level of discipline we can
Speaker 2: only approximate here. We will forego many of the early sessions.
Speaker 5: Yes, mister Monroe, continue the preparations.
Speaker 2: Nurse Fields, have my hypnotic items ready, please.
Speaker 1: I admit to seeing little promise and gateway. At first,
Speaker 1: I would put the headphones on and lay back, following
Speaker 1: Monroe's voice in the various tones. Frequently I just fell asleep.
Speaker 1: But I was surprised to discover that after a while,
Speaker 1: images started swirling out of the darkness.
Speaker 2: Oh was right.
Speaker 1: Eventually I was able to advance in the training with
Speaker 1: some effort and gained new abilities, But all attempts to
Speaker 1: attain usable intelligence on Russia ultimately failed. So a few
Speaker 1: weeks later they got me closer, much closer. They flew
Speaker 1: me out to a secret submersible base next to the USSR.
Speaker 1: I found myself one thousand feet below the sea of Okotsk.
Speaker 1: In seventy one, the CIA had discovered a Soviet deep
Speaker 1: sea transmission line. We wanted to listen in, so we
Speaker 1: installed the tap. This was Operation Ivy Bells. It was
Speaker 1: a joint CIA and NSA project with help from the
Speaker 1: US Navy. You can google that too. Ivy Bells, fun
Speaker 1: little project. They decided it would be good to physically
Speaker 1: transport me to the undersea Soviet military transmission lines.
Speaker 11: So there I was, sir, we're here in the cable
Speaker 11: tap location. Time to do your thing. I'll connect your
Speaker 11: headset to the feed.
Speaker 1: Ready.
Speaker 6: It worked.
Speaker 1: I had followed the training and achieved Focus twelve in Gateway.
Speaker 1: This is one of the highest states of consciousness. It
Speaker 1: unlocks the ability to remote view at will, unrestrained by
Speaker 1: time or distance. But a surprise awaited me there. I
Speaker 1: was investigating the secret missile base, invisible to the motionless soldiers,
Speaker 1: frozen in time. There, I was trying to read a
Speaker 1: computer screen when I realized that one of the other
Speaker 1: beings there was different. It was like me, unbound by
Speaker 1: time or location, floating. Hello, priviet. My Russian had an accent,
Speaker 1: but this simple hello should have worked. The entity merely
Speaker 1: scurried up a wall and vanished into the ceiling. Hey wait,
Speaker 1: all My further attempts to locate the entity that day failed.
Speaker 1: I returned to my body on the sub and got
Speaker 1: another surprise. The pilot. Hey, did you see that thing
Speaker 1: out there looking into the porthole?
Speaker 11: Sir, not calling you a liar, but we're one thousand
Speaker 11: feet down nothing but fishies out there.
Speaker 1: I can see it right now there, it's looking at me.
Speaker 11: Okay, okay, copy that, sir. I'll note it in the
Speaker 11: log coupard.
Speaker 1: They didn't believe me at first, who would, But I
Speaker 1: would meet the entity again. I included a couple paragraphs
Speaker 1: about this in my final report, a warning more or
Speaker 1: less to those who would follow be intellectually prepared to
Speaker 1: react to possible encounters with intelligent non corporal energy forms
Speaker 1: when time space boundaries are exceeded. It may also be
Speaker 1: possible that individuals encounter thought forms while in an out
Speaker 1: of body state, which mingle with physical reality and are
Speaker 1: not easily differentiated. Yeah, you heard that right, word for
Speaker 1: word from an official CIA report. I knew there was
Speaker 1: much more to investigate and explain. Meanwhile, I kept working
Speaker 1: back at the institute. Next time on Gateway, things heat
Speaker 1: up when I finally find that Russian missile base. But
Speaker 1: that's not even the big event. Courtesy of a surprise
Speaker 1: guest visitor, I find my way back in time, all
Speaker 1: the way to Nazi occupied France in nineteen forty four,
Speaker 1: but in more danger than I ever was before.
Speaker 3: Hey, before we move on, can we do your mini
Speaker 3: sub Captain again?
Speaker 2: Kevin? And like?
Speaker 3: So, since we have yours, can we do one where
Speaker 3: you have fun with it but also projects?
Speaker 1: As you said, but I, especially since you say.
Speaker 3: Cuckoo berg later, I'd love for you to cavin it up.
Speaker 11: Sure, So where do you want to start from.
Speaker 3: Just take it from that initial one because we got
Speaker 3: the more official version that Jack wanted.
Speaker 2: But for your do we you know, we'll come in
Speaker 2: at zeke.
Speaker 3: I want to grab the server nearing the cable tapplication,
Speaker 3: So the middle of.
Speaker 11: Thirteen, oh, copy got oh thirteen guys.
Speaker 3: Because we got a more formal version. Now we'll have
Speaker 3: here so that when you say cucku ber.
Speaker 6: You can like you hit them.
Speaker 2: Got him?
Speaker 1: Are we reading all the way through?
Speaker 6: Uh no?
Speaker 3: I think let's just do a pick up with any
Speaker 3: sub to ready, and then we'll go to fourteen.
Speaker 11: Okay, sir, we're nearing the cable tap location. Time to
Speaker 11: do your thing. I'll connect your headset to the feed.
Speaker 3: Right through to fourteen and then we'll just pick it
Speaker 3: up from a pilot.
Speaker 6: Do you see that.
Speaker 1: Pilot?
Speaker 12: Hey?
Speaker 1: You see that that thing out there looking into the porthole.
Speaker 11: Sir, not calling you a liar, but we're one thousand
Speaker 11: feet down nothing but fishies out here.
Speaker 1: I see it right now there. It's it's looking at me.
Speaker 11: Okay, okay, copy that, sir. I'll note it in the
Speaker 11: lock cou coop bird.
Speaker 13: This is the first step along your path to a gateway,
Speaker 13: a gateway beyond which is discovery, your own discovery of reality,
Speaker 13: of truth, of who and what you are now a
Speaker 13: simple preparation. Because of the special audio techniques used, it's
Speaker 13: important that certain sounds reach your right ear and others
Speaker 13: your left ear. To be sure of this, you should
Speaker 13: be hearing my voice in your right ear at this moment.
Speaker 13: If you are not hearing my voice in your right ear,
Speaker 13: turn your headphones around now so that you are hearing
Speaker 13: my voice in your right ear.
Speaker 1: Hello listener, Lieutenant Colonel Wayne M. McDonald here. Last time
Speaker 1: you found out why I issued a report to the
Speaker 1: CIA about Gateway and its ability to let you traverse
Speaker 1: time and space via your mind. This time we delve
Speaker 1: deeper into the mystery.
Speaker 9: Welckle up, Lieutenant Colonel MacDonald. Good to see you back
Speaker 9: with us. You're looking well.
Speaker 1: Thank you. Nurse That Many submarine was quite an experience.
Speaker 5: Mister Monroe says, you're making great progress. Today.
Speaker 9: We're moving into hypnotism. Should help you concentrate.
Speaker 1: H It'll help me get closer to finding what happened
Speaker 1: to my father. I'll try it once I achieved Focus twelve.
Speaker 1: I wanted to know what else I could do naturally.
Speaker 1: I wanted to use it to find unobtainable answers, answers
Speaker 1: to the questions that hang on through the years, to
Speaker 1: the mystery of Saint Mary at Gleice. On June seventh,
Speaker 1: nineteen forty four, my dad made it ashore at Normandy.
Speaker 1: It was even a photo, but he vanished a day
Speaker 1: later and some merit glease and was declared. I spent
Speaker 1: my life wanting to know what happened. At school, a
Speaker 1: boy had started a rumor that my dad was a coward,
Speaker 1: a drunken deserter who ran off with a French whore.
Speaker 1: I still remember how it felt when I heard that,
Speaker 1: and how it felt breaking that kid's nose.
Speaker 2: How is everyone today? Is our star subject prepared?
Speaker 5: He is wired up, Chamber is ready to I want.
Speaker 1: You to prep me for a trip to nineteen forty
Speaker 1: four in France.
Speaker 2: I know it's important to you, but that's way off
Speaker 2: our program. Let's revisit this after you've progressed further. Okay.
Speaker 2: We need to prove that we can get past the
Speaker 2: information distortion issue and provide actionable intelligence, and we need
Speaker 2: to figure out those entities you've talked about I.
Speaker 1: Don't think you understand. When I'm moving into those other areas.
Speaker 1: I hear voices, people talking. Sometimes I know them conversations
Speaker 1: from the past. I'm pretty sure I hear them my dad.
Speaker 2: Stay inside your energy resonance balloon and ignore those voices.
Speaker 2: Continue on into that missile site. We need details.
Speaker 1: If you want me to report that your method works,
Speaker 1: you need to prove it to me first, then it
Speaker 1: goes in my report.
Speaker 2: Let's agree on a deal. You get me the location
Speaker 2: of the missile base. I'll facilitate you visiting.
Speaker 1: D Day Roger that and finding my father.
Speaker 2: I can help you. Hold on. Have you heard of
Speaker 2: psilocybin excuse me, known as magic mushrooms?
Speaker 1: Yes, I've heard of those.
Speaker 2: How do you feel about them?
Speaker 1: They're illegal, and I put my assistant on report for
Speaker 1: using them in laos.
Speaker 2: They may help you get further into gateway.
Speaker 1: Wait, you're suggesting illicit narcotics psychedelics.
Speaker 2: Actually, if you want progress, we've got to understand where
Speaker 2: this is going.
Speaker 1: I am prepared to plunge into illegality.
Speaker 2: I'm glad you have plenty of time to invest and
Speaker 2: can forego their assistance.
Speaker 1: My mother's in a home and failing, I need to
Speaker 1: tell her the truth before she's gone.
Speaker 2: This could help you get her the answers in time.
Speaker 1: Perhaps I could make a single exception, Is there any danger?
Speaker 1: All experience unpleasantness?
Speaker 2: Take these then lay back in forty five minutes or so,
Speaker 2: we'll run the audio. Enjoy your journey, then have another
Speaker 2: look for that missile base.
Speaker 1: Yes, it went against everything I stood for. At least
Speaker 1: then Vietnam was a war against bra burning hippies, at
Speaker 1: least to some of my colleagues.
Speaker 6: But I tried it.
Speaker 1: I was going to eventually find my father, the truth
Speaker 1: about my father, but I needed to find that missile base.
Speaker 1: First waves of light washed over me. I imagined a
Speaker 1: field of grain waving in the wind, waving at me.
Speaker 1: I found myself giggling at ridiculous thoughts, and I found
Speaker 1: it worked. Does that make me a hypocrite? Life eventually
Speaker 1: does this to a.
Speaker 6: Lot of us.
Speaker 5: Yes, I'll be right down. I need to see another
Speaker 5: patient for a moment.
Speaker 1: I'll be back to make an omelet. You've got to
Speaker 1: break some eggs. Nurse Fields went to visit them while
Speaker 1: I entered the world of altered states. I didn't know yet,
Speaker 1: but there were secret rooms in the basement at the
Speaker 1: facility where they kept the broken eggs.
Speaker 6: She was visiting them.
Speaker 3: Yes, doctor Alexander, are you running more tests upstairs?
Speaker 5: How is that your concern?
Speaker 3: Because my comatose patient just sat up and moved his eyes.
Speaker 9: That's not funny. You turned him into a zombie. You
Speaker 9: fix him.
Speaker 6: I'm not joking.
Speaker 3: For just a few seconds he sat up.
Speaker 5: I don't know what to tell you.
Speaker 6: If only Hitzack was here, he could figure this out.
Speaker 5: They've hidden him away where no one will find him.
Speaker 3: Hidden no way so well, they effectively halted his work.
Speaker 3: Bad guys won Maybe you know where they hit him.
Speaker 9: In any case, it' zuc isn't here, and Captain demark
Speaker 9: here has gone off on a mental walk about forever.
Speaker 1: Apparently they'll find his way back.
Speaker 5: Eight months is a long time to be clicked out.
Speaker 3: I really believe your tests upstairs are having an effect.
Speaker 3: If we could coordinate, get in touch with.
Speaker 9: Bentov random neurons firing, he's mentally gone, just like the
Speaker 9: poor SAPs in the next two rooms. We're taking a
Speaker 9: big risk putting McDonald through it.
Speaker 3: We've improved the process, refined it. If I could just
Speaker 3: see McDonald's.
Speaker 5: Charts not gonna happen.
Speaker 3: So long, doctor, Yes, I'll see you at your performance
Speaker 3: review next week.
Speaker 1: Good luck.
Speaker 9: By the way, I sometimes leave things on my desk
Speaker 9: at night. Uh huh, Lieutenant Colonel McDonald, come.
Speaker 1: In nurse fields. This is unexpected.
Speaker 2: What can I do for you?
Speaker 9: I hope you're enjoying your free time. I wanted to
Speaker 9: check on you and bring.
Speaker 1: You this on my pager and realized i'd left it
Speaker 1: in a lab.
Speaker 9: Mister Munroe had me remove it so you wouldn't be distracted.
Speaker 1: Wait, don't you have weekends off?
Speaker 5: Not usually. I have tomorrow off to go to church.
Speaker 6: Very good.
Speaker 1: I'll be traveling to Staten Island to visit my mother.
Speaker 5: She's in an elder care facility there. Correct.
Speaker 1: Yes, she has good days and bad days. I'm hoping
Speaker 1: to get some answers about my dad for before she's
Speaker 1: completely gone.
Speaker 9: Best wishes on your visit. Have you noticed anything odd
Speaker 9: during the test here?
Speaker 6: Well?
Speaker 1: Odd has new meanings? Now what do you mean exactly?
Speaker 5: I don't know. Do you ever get lost out there?
Speaker 2: No?
Speaker 1: I can always just transition back to focus ten, then
Speaker 1: focus three, and then poof, I'm right back here.
Speaker 5: Sorry, I bothered you.
Speaker 1: Oh, if something comes up, just call my contact number
Speaker 1: from the base. Captain Parsons can reach me.
Speaker 5: Yes, have a nice visit with your mother.
Speaker 9: I'll ask the facilities people to drop some flowers off
Speaker 9: before you go.
Speaker 1: Her visit didn't make me feel at ease. In fact,
Speaker 1: quite the opposite. When the flower showed up an hour later,
Speaker 1: I was still thinking about her, worried.
Speaker 6: Look what did she know?
Speaker 1: What wasn't she telling me?
Speaker 14: She's been fairly good this week, had a couple better days,
Speaker 14: even did a painting than asking about you a lot.
Speaker 1: Yeah, well, I've been out of town on a mission.
Speaker 1: When I finish, I'll be able to visit more, I hope.
Speaker 14: So she's always talking about you, gets her days and
Speaker 14: visits confused. Sometimes be adaptable, keep smiling even if she
Speaker 14: doesn't make perfect sense. Missus McDonald, your son Wayne is
Speaker 14: here to see you.
Speaker 5: Well, what are you waiting for?
Speaker 8: Send him in?
Speaker 14: See what I mean? Still get that spark going in?
Speaker 8: Wayne?
Speaker 15: Have you been eating properly?
Speaker 1: You look thin? Yes, mother had roast beef last night
Speaker 1: and I brought you something.
Speaker 8: Oh, oh, here, lovely, there's a vase in the bathroom.
Speaker 1: Where would you like.
Speaker 15: Him there by the window.
Speaker 1: The red one's blow in the sunlight. Have you been, mom?
Speaker 1: You look really good?
Speaker 8: I should. Eva did my hair yesterday. She really knows
Speaker 8: her way around the curlers.
Speaker 1: Yeah, she does work.
Speaker 8: Did you get a haircut too? You look different from
Speaker 8: last week?
Speaker 2: Mom.
Speaker 1: My current mission has me posted in Virginia. It's been
Speaker 1: two months since I visit Nonsense.
Speaker 15: You were sitting in that very chair telling me you
Speaker 15: were going to visit your father in France. He's not there,
Speaker 15: you know, been dead a long time, but he did
Speaker 15: love you. Sent letters every day. They're here somewhere.
Speaker 1: I think, Mom. The work I'm doing is experimental. It's
Speaker 1: got me thinking about dad. Do you ever wonder who's.
Speaker 15: That friend of yours? I went from high school Robbie Alan,
Speaker 15: wasn't it? He was with you last time, but never
Speaker 15: said a word.
Speaker 1: A chill blew through me. Robbie had been dead for
Speaker 1: twenty plus years at that point. Gassed himself for the
Speaker 1: pickup truck while we were in high school birthday.
Speaker 6: Gone horribly off the rails.
Speaker 1: But I hadn't spoken of him in decades, though he
Speaker 1: was off and on my mind. Okay, Mom, I uh,
Speaker 1: hey are those chocolate chip cookies I see over there.
Speaker 1: I sure could use one.
Speaker 15: Yes, you could, too, thin, Please help yourself.
Speaker 7: Mildred Barrass baked them Mildred Paris.
Speaker 1: Uh okay, thanks mama.
Speaker 8: Maybe the kitchen.
Speaker 5: Here made them. I get confused.
Speaker 1: Now it's all right, Mom, don't get upset.
Speaker 6: They're delicious.
Speaker 15: I think my watch stopped.
Speaker 5: I keep forgetting to wind it.
Speaker 1: No, no, it's the right time, two pm. It runs
Speaker 1: on batteries, so you don't have to wind this one.
Speaker 6: Mom.
Speaker 1: You got it for Christmas batteries.
Speaker 15: Why do I wind it every day?
Speaker 11: Then?
Speaker 1: I found the visit some at disquieting, but it was
Speaker 1: her insistence that had recently been there that really got
Speaker 1: to me. I'd certainly been thinking about her quite a lot.
Speaker 1: I returned to the institute, mister Monroe, a rare pleasure.
Speaker 2: Come in, please.
Speaker 1: What brings you to Creue Quarters?
Speaker 2: I could hear you typing from down the hall.
Speaker 1: Yeah. The brass requested an interim report, and I've summed
Speaker 1: up the training as relatively successful. You've taken the process
Speaker 1: to heart, but we don't have proof of effectiveness yet.
Speaker 2: I'm aware. I wish I could report.
Speaker 1: Something, anything that demonstrated positive results.
Speaker 2: If you don't, they might pull my fund there. Then
Speaker 2: you'll never get your answers. Your dad, I can't help that.
Speaker 2: I can only report the truth. Can you give us
Speaker 2: another few days. I've got a surprise coming that I
Speaker 2: think can better prep you for your next journey?
Speaker 1: Okay, I'm willing to try. Although I'm not convinced that
Speaker 1: the mushrooms are the best.
Speaker 2: Path, I think I have something better.
Speaker 6: Good.
Speaker 1: Look, I can hold the report off for a few
Speaker 1: more days.
Speaker 2: Thank you. I'll see you in the lab after lunch.
Speaker 1: I already ate.
Speaker 2: Okay, let's go get those answers.
Speaker 1: Roger that we were both motivated, but for different reasons.
Speaker 1: If I could pinpoint where that base was or gain
Speaker 1: some operational intelligence about it, we could both move forward.
Speaker 1: Continued failure wasn't an option. Neil's Poor the renowned physicist,
Speaker 1: once responded to his son's complaints about the obtuse nature
Speaker 1: of certain concepts and physics by saying, you are not thinking,
Speaker 1: you are merely being logical. The physics of altered human
Speaker 1: consciousness deals with some conceptualizations that are not easily grasped
Speaker 1: or visualized exclude usively in the context of ordinary left
Speaker 1: brain linear thinking. So to borrow doctor Borer's mode of expression,
Speaker 1: parts of this paper will require not only logic, but
Speaker 1: a touch of right brain intuitive insight to achieve a complete,
Speaker 1: comfortable grasp of the concepts involved. Nevertheless, once that is done,
Speaker 1: I am confident that their construction and application will stand
Speaker 1: up to the test of rational critique.
Speaker 2: How's he doing.
Speaker 5: He's getting close to the rem state.
Speaker 2: Switch to focus fifteen content. I think we can get
Speaker 2: him there this time.
Speaker 5: Perhaps doctor Alexander should be here.
Speaker 2: That quack. He's turned three soldiers into potted plants. He's
Speaker 2: not screwing this one.
Speaker 5: Up, as you say, switching to focus fifteen content.
Speaker 2: Now, let's get the location of that base.
Speaker 9: You can understand why he wants to find out about
Speaker 9: his father, can't you. We've offered him an opportunity he
Speaker 9: can't pass up.
Speaker 2: I'm not convinced he's going to like what he finds.
Speaker 5: Knowing is better than not knowing.
Speaker 2: I hope you're right. I think he's moving into Remstay
Speaker 2: watch him.
Speaker 1: I found myself at the missile base again, wandering the
Speaker 1: halls in a bleached out reality. I serenely moved into
Speaker 1: their space with no time passing. I tried to read
Speaker 1: the signs on the base. I know the cyrillic alphabet
Speaker 1: and speak some Russian, but still couldn't make sense of anything.
Speaker 9: He's in deep rem Hopefully he's found the base and
Speaker 9: avoids that presence that always upsets him.
Speaker 2: Don't encourage him with that entity talk. I wish he
Speaker 2: would just avoid it until we get the funding secured.
Speaker 5: Really, things don't work that way. Wow, Field, it's doctor
Speaker 5: Alexander for you. Tell him I'm busy with an experiment.
Speaker 5: He says, it's important. Let me have the.
Speaker 9: Phone, Doctor Alexander. I'm busy, ma'am, And if he calls back,
Speaker 9: I'm even busier.
Speaker 5: Yes, ma'am.
Speaker 1: I missed all of the drama in the lab. I
Speaker 1: was far far away. I found the Russian base. I
Speaker 1: finally knew where it was and couldn't wait to get
Speaker 1: back until my superiors. But there was a problem, A
Speaker 1: glowing one staring at me from across the missile silo,
Speaker 1: and it didn't look happy.
Speaker 6: Hey, who are you?
Speaker 1: Why are you following me? Please answer me. I need
Speaker 1: to know. I want to know.
Speaker 2: You're not ready, Robbie, but you're gone.
Speaker 1: You can't Maybe I'm someone else.
Speaker 6: Don't go to France.
Speaker 1: My shock at this point was extreme. I thought i'd
Speaker 1: started to recognize the entity, but its shape and voice
Speaker 1: shifted again. Was it my friend who killed himself in
Speaker 1: high school?
Speaker 2: Now?
Speaker 1: I wasn't sure? Why not explain things to me? At
Speaker 1: this point, the entity grew massively into a glowing ball
Speaker 1: of light, racing toward me at impossible speed.
Speaker 5: I'm bringing him out as hard as racing.
Speaker 2: You're thwarting our progress.
Speaker 5: I'm saving our test subject.
Speaker 1: She leaned down and spoke in my ear.
Speaker 5: Wayne, it's time to come back. Now.
Speaker 2: It's not good to talk to him.
Speaker 5: He's coming now, he's with us again.
Speaker 6: Robbie, hold on, WILLI Where did he go?
Speaker 2: Who?
Speaker 1: My friend? Robbie?
Speaker 2: Where does he live?
Speaker 5: Ah?
Speaker 6: Never, never mind.
Speaker 1: If you're looking for an address for that base, start
Speaker 1: in your coots, send your blackbirds there. You're sure, Roger that,
Speaker 1: and let me know when you've located it.
Speaker 2: I'll informed the brass.
Speaker 1: I had their answer, but nobody knew the cost yet.
Speaker 9: Calm yourself, Lieutenant Colonel. Your heart rate's still elevated. You
Speaker 9: can relax.
Speaker 5: Now you've proven the program works.
Speaker 1: I'm going to finally meet my father. It's kind of
Speaker 1: hard to relax knowing that.
Speaker 5: Let's get you settled back in your quarters. You need
Speaker 5: to rest.
Speaker 1: Okay, fair enough, but you tell Monroe I expect him
Speaker 1: to start the training for my D Day mission tomorrow.
Speaker 5: Yes, Lieutenant Colonel.
Speaker 1: Was I right?
Speaker 6: Yes?
Speaker 2: Indeed you were hidden underground in a forest as you described.
Speaker 2: But I still advise that you hold off on this
Speaker 2: D Day thing.
Speaker 1: Give me one valid reason you aren't prepared, I said,
Speaker 1: a valid reason. My family has waited forty years for
Speaker 1: this answer.
Speaker 2: Then what's a few more months. The answer might not
Speaker 2: make you happy.
Speaker 1: But I need to know what happened to my father.
Speaker 2: There's someone here to see you, to offer special help,
Speaker 2: special help. I'd like to introduce you to the man
Speaker 2: behind the science. It sucked bent tough. Wait what no
Speaker 2: one can know where you are? What are you doing here?
Speaker 2: That is who?
Speaker 12: I have dressed as a juniitor and just spend a
Speaker 12: half ow a mop in the hallway. I want to
Speaker 12: see you. I achieve your Monroe tells me your clothes.
Speaker 2: I have some ideas.
Speaker 1: I'll give it a try, but you really shouldn't be
Speaker 1: seen by anyone. Concerned that I wasn't making enough progress.
Speaker 1: Monroe had gotten Itzac bent off himself to come push
Speaker 1: me over the top. Monroe wanted a favorable report and
Speaker 1: the funding it would bring.
Speaker 12: This effort is worth my reappearance.
Speaker 2: I can't hide forever.
Speaker 12: Let's get the work.
Speaker 1: So I got my wish. Itsac broke protocol and provided
Speaker 1: special training and hypnosis. Monroe kept his end of the
Speaker 1: bargain and I got more, much more than I bargained for.
Speaker 2: I'm here.
Speaker 1: I can't believe it. I expected to be an observer
Speaker 1: as before. Turns out I was a participant.
Speaker 7: Hunt.
Speaker 1: No wait, wait, you can see them and there you
Speaker 1: have it. I progress through the ascending consciousness phases and
Speaker 1: got my wish, but it wasn't what I expected. Funny
Speaker 1: how life frequently works out that way in any case.
Speaker 1: If you want to know more about that journey and
Speaker 1: how the rest of my report came out, come back
Speaker 1: for our next episode.
Speaker 6: You won't be bored.
Speaker 3: Goodness didn't get too I don't want to get some more.
Speaker 1: I love doing this fine hunt.
Speaker 9: Yeah, you can get one question that is nurse fields,
Speaker 9: random neurons firing.
Speaker 14: I maybe my ears are failing that I do your neurons.
Speaker 3: Good, so find that line. In the meanwhile, Nick, let's
Speaker 3: get two more from your halts.
Speaker 1: How were you saying.
Speaker 13: One?
Speaker 3: Was both of them more intense, one more fear, one
Speaker 3: more anger?
Speaker 1: Okay, sounds good. Yeah, I'm gonna stand up. Yeah, please
Speaker 1: do stand okay, yeah, just yell at me, Nick, can
Speaker 1: we go back and forth?
Speaker 2: Your line, my line, your line, my line?
Speaker 1: Okay, so I can match your energy.
Speaker 7: Hearts find a hounch No, wait, you can see me
Speaker 7: hats fight a hounch no, wait, wait you can see
Speaker 7: me hants fighter hounch no wait wait you can see me.
Speaker 6: Like a bulldog.
Speaker 9: Okay, m hmm what.
Speaker 5: Pages page six.
Speaker 9: Random neurons firing. He's mentally gone, just like the poor
Speaker 9: SAPs in the next two rooms. We're taking a big
Speaker 9: risk putting McDonald through it.
