God I just wish I could go outside right and do what needs to be done. I keep having a slight sense that the time is now but then the feeling doesn't

JOURNAL ARCHIVE: 04/14/10 5:46 PM
I woke up just now and was convinced that today is Friday and that I was going to miss the new episode of "Stargate Universe" if I did not get up out of bed. I have been up for what seems a long time considering how long before I noted that today is Wednesday.

Just before waking up I had a dream again about that house in Greer South Carolina that I "remember" owning. There were a lot of visuals that, while seemingly unimportant, I cannot now recall enough to describe. The overall theme of the dream this time was that another family was living in that house or they were just about to move in and that is a source of confusion, I reflect after waking up, because I still wanted to stay there for at least one more day and I am not certain if they will be there. I also saw another remote control device that was important to the dream. I did not recognize it from anywhere in real or artificial memory but in the dream I recognized it as a remote control but it also seemed to be a telephone. I was very frustrated at one point because the voice message indicator was flashing during the point when I wanted to know if that other family was going to be at that house and I guess that was a voice message from them about that detail. I was frustrated because I could not find the button to press to activate the voice message playback and then there were some other details that I remember and could describe that do not seem associated with the house, although I was listening ot the remote control/telephone and there was almost an element of Stephen King's "Maximum Overdrive" although that was just a vague suggestion almost but that I felt certain about. I think that is the point where I woke up but maybe not. I am not certain which point in the dream I woke up.

I woke up thinking that if I did not get up in time then I would have to wait until 8 PM to watch the new episode of "Stargate Universe" and that would mean I would miss the new episode of "Smallville" which I now think was one of those vaguaries about actually watching that "The Simpsons" rebroadcast at 6 PM today along with something about the next episode of "Stargate Universe" and about a general line of thought about how that new episode storyline is somehow connected to the work I am now doing.

CONTROL INTERFACE ROOM. Destiny has apparently had time to scan ahead of herself and information is appearing on the holoscreen. Young and Eli are looking at the screen while Rush is sitting hunched over his console.

RUSH: It's a G2 star, yellow dwarf, similar to our own Sun. Because Destiny didn't know it was here, the star's gravity well disrupted our propulsion systems, causing us to drop out of F.T.L. prematurely.

(He draws in a breath against the pain in his chest. Eli looks at him in concern. Rush continues his explanation.)

RUSH: A glitch in the technology.

YOUNG: So what happens now?

RUSH: We've entered a parabolic course.

(He types on his console and the holoscreen shows a depiction of the route the ship will take through the system.)

RUSH: Once we're round the star, we'll be far enough away from its gravitational influence, back into F.T.L. and on our way.

YOUNG: How long's that gonna take?

RUSH: A few weeks. There is, however, a silver lining.

(He types again and the display changes. Eli frowns at the screen in surprise.)

WALLACE: A planet?

RUSH: The only one in the solar system, so far as I can see. About the same size as Earth.

(He dips the tip of his little finger into some white powder he has with him, then sucks the powder off his finger. Presumably it's some kind of pain killer given to him by T.J. Eli looks at the holoscreen.)

WALLACE: Looks close.

RUSH: It is. Within shuttle range.

YOUNG: Atmosphere?

RUSH: In a word, perfect.

[Planet surface]

(Conifers stand on the slopes down to a lake, where three figures beam down onto a trackway.)

MCCOY: Look at those pine trees.

KIRK: And that lake.

MCCOY: I swear that's honeysuckle I smell.

KIRK: I swear that's a little orange blossom thrown in. It's unbelievable. Growth exactly like that of Earth on a planet half a galaxy away. What are the odds on such duplication?

SPOCK: Astronomical, Captain. The relative size, age and composition of this planet makes it highly improbable that it would evolve similarly to Earth in any way.

MCCOY: What in blazes is that?

(A bizarre structure on a dais, with steps leading up to it.)

KIRK: Analysis, Spock.

SPOCK: An alien metal of some kind. An alloy resistant to probe. Readings can't even measure its age accurately. These incised symbols are fascinating. Evidently, some form of writing.

KIRK: Any theories about what it is?

SPOCK: Negative, Captain. Structures of this complexity require extremely sophisticated building apparatus, the kind usually found in cultures surpassing or equalling our own.

MCCOY: Meadows and no meteor craters. The whole place is an enigma, biologically and culturally.

KIRK: What's the nearest concentration of life forms, Mister Spock?

SPOCK: Bearing one one seven mark four.

KIRK: And how much time did you say we have to investigate?

SPOCK: If we are to divert the asteroid which is on a collision course with this planet, we must warp out of orbit within thirty minutes. Every second we delay arriving at the deflection point compounds the problem, perhaps past solution.

KIRK: You did say thirty minutes?

SPOCK: Yes, sir.

KIRK: Then let's go. Let's find out what life forms are blessed by this environment.

(Standing on the opposite side of the lake from a collection of tipis and a lodge.)

MCCOY: Why, they look like. I'd swear they're American Indians.

SPOCK: They are, Doctor. A mixture of Navajo, Mohican, and Delaware, I believe. All among the more advanced and peaceful tribes.

KIRK: It's like discovering Atlantis or Shangri-la. Mister Spock, is it possible there's a more evolved civilisation somewhere else on this planet, one capable of building that obelisk or developing a deflector system?

SPOCK: Highly improbable, Captain. Sensor probes indicate only one type of life form here.

MCCOY: Shouldn't we contact them, Jim? Tell them?

KIRK: Tell them what? That an asteroid's coming to smash their world into atoms?

SPOCK: Too primitive to grasp the concept of space flight, Doctor. Our appearance here would only confuse and frighten them.

KIRK: We've got a job to do. Let's get back to the Enterprise.

(Along the path.)

MCCOY: What's the matter, Jim?

KIRK: What? Oh, nothing. It's just so peaceful, uncomplicated. No problems, no command decisions. Just living.

MCCOY: Typical human reaction to an idyllic natural setting. Back in the twentieth century, we referred to it as the Tahiti Syndrome. It's particularly common to over-pressured leader types, like starship captains.

KIRK [OC]: (dazed and confused) Where am I? What place is this? What are these? (phaser and communicator) I feel should know. They're familiar and yet unfamiliar. How did I get here? Who am I?

KIRK: It's only the wind and the thunder.

MIRAMANEE: I act like a stupid child. I have nothing to fear. You are here. (she looks outside) It is time.

KIRK; Time?

MIRAMANEE: To go to the temple. The people will be waiting.

KIRK: Why?

MIRAMANEE: To save them.

KIRK: But it's only the wind. The wind can't harm them.

MIRAMANEE: The wind is only the beginning. Soon the sky will darken, the lake will go wild, and the earth will tremble. Only you can save us.

KIRK: But I can't do anything about the wind or the sky.

MIRAMANEE: If we don't go now, it will be too late. You must go inside the temple and make the blue flame come out.

KIRK: I don't know how to get inside the temple.

MIRAMANEE: But you are a god.
