The Duplicate Man

Aired Monday 8:00 PM Dec 19, 1964 on ABC

QUOTES

Control Voice: (opening narration) Since the first day that Man stared up at the stars and saw other worlds there has been no more haunting question than this: What will we find there? Will there be other creatures? and Will they be like us? Or when that ancient dream comes true, will it turn into a nightmare? Will we find on some distant frozen planet an alien life of unimaginable horror?

The Duplicate Man (1964)

Synopsis

Somewhere in a future city an alien monster with murder on his mind is lurking. Its the Megasoid, a man sized creature with comparable intelligence to man but murderous in intent and with a drive to procreate. Henderson James was supposed to have this creature under lock and key, but alas it has escaped and will require that he clone himself in order to find and kill the creature he was intent on studying. The only problem is how to find and kill it discreetly as the creature is outlawed on Earth and then there is the issue of whether or not the creature will be so easily subdued.

Weezer

"My Name Is Jonas"

My name is Jonas
I'm carrying the wheel
Thanks for all you've shown us
But this is how we feel
Come sit next to me
Pour yourself some tea
Just like grandma made
When we couldn't find sleep
Things were better then
Once but never again
We've all left the den
Let me tell you 'bout it

The choo-choo train left right on time
A ticket costs only your mind
The driver said, 'Hey man, we go all the way'
Of course we were willing to pay

My name is Wepeel
I gotta box full of your toys
They're fresh out of batteries
But they're still makin' noise (makin' noise)
Tell me what to do
Now the tank is dry
Now this wheel is flat
And you know what else?
Guess what I received
In the mail today
Words of deep concern
From my little brother

The building's not going as he planned
The foreman has injured his hand
The dozer will not clear a path
The driver swears he learned his math

The workers are going home
The workers are going home
The workers are going home
The workers are going home
Yeah!

The workers are going home
The workers are going home
The workers are going home
Yeah! Yeah! Yeah!

My name is Jonas

from my private journal as Kerry Burgess: 9/15/2006 4:43 PM

Since it was a Basic Electricity and Electronics school in Orlando, the group consisted of people aspiring for different Navy enlisted designations. Most of us were either in the Fire Controlman program or the Electronics Technician (ET) program. After completing that BE/E program, we went to Chicago for, in my case, FC “A” school. The others went to ET “A” or whatever technical career they were pursuing. After graduating from “A” school was when they were promoted to FC3 or ET3. I was already an FC3 but I didn’t get another promotion at that point, having to earn it on my own. From there, some of us went on to specialist training in Dam Neck, VA. I did get a new designation after graduating from there. After completing the course on the fire-control computer, I earned a Navy Enlisted Classification (NEC) code of 1189.

Oy looked up briefly at the sound of his name.

YOU ARE *KA-TET*; ONE MADE FROM MANY. SO AM I. WHOSE *KA-TET* STRONGER IS SOMETHING WE MUST NOW PROVE."

There was a moment of silence, broken only by the steady hard throb of the slo-trans turbines, bearing them on across the waste lands, bearing them on towards Topeka, the place where Mid-World ended and End-World began.

"SO," cried the voice of Blaine. "CAST YOUR NETS, WANDERERS! TRY ME WITH YOUR QUESTIONS, AND LET THE CONTEST BEGIN."

AFTERWORD

The fourth volume in the tale of the Dark Tower should appear - always assuming the continuation of Constant Writer's life and Constant Reader's interest - in the not too-distant future. It's hard to be more exact than that; finding the doors to Roland's world has never been easy for me, and it seems to take more and more whittling to make each successive key fit each successive lock. Nevertheless, if readers request a fourth volume, it will be provided, for I still *am* able to find Roland's world when I set my wits to it, and it still holds me in thrall ... more, in many ways, than any of the other worlds I have wandered in my imagination. And, like those mysterious slo-trans engines, this story seems to be picking up its own accelerating pace and rhythm.

I am well aware that some readers of "The Waste Lands" will be displeased that it has ended as it has, with so much unresolved. I am not terribly pleased to be leaving Roland and his companions in the not-so-tender care of Blaine the Mono myself, and although you are not obligated to believe me, I must nevertheless insist that I was as surprised by the conclusion to this third volume as some of my readers may be. Yet books which write themselves (and this one did, for the most part) must also be allowed to end themselves, and I can only assure you, Reader, that Roland and his band have come to one of the crucial border-crossings in their story, and we must leave them here for a while at the customs station, answering questions and filling out forms. All of which is simply a metaphorical way of saying that it was over again for a while and my heart was wise enough to stop me from trying to push ahead anyway.

The course of the next volume is still murky, although I can assure you that the business of Blaine the Mono will be resolved, that we will all find out a good deal more about Roland's life as a young man and that puzzling figure Walter, called the Wizard or the Ageless Stranger. It is with this terrible and enigmatic figure that Robert Browning begings his epic poem, "Childe Roland to the Dark Tower Came," writing of him:

My first thought was, he lied in every word,

That hoary cripple, with malicious eye

Askance to watch the working of his lie

On mind, and mouth scarce able to afford

Suppression of the glee, that pursed and scored

Its edge, at one more victim gained thereby.

It is this malicious liar, this dark and powerful magician, who holds the true key to End-World and the Dark Tower ... for those courageous enough to grasp it.

And for those who are left.

MY UNDERSTANDING OF TRUTH

By John Chambers

&&&
&&&

Blaine is the truth.

I want to go back and that is the truth.

I have to go back and that is the truth.

I'll go crazy if I don't go back and that is the truth.

I can't go home again unless I find a stone a rose a door and that is the truth.

Choo-choo, and that is the truth.

Choo-choo. Choo-choo.

Choo-choo. Choo-choo. Choo-choo.

Choo-choo. Choo-choo. Choo-choo. Choo-choo.

I am afraid. That is the truth.

Choo-choo.

Jake looked up slowly. His heart was beating so hard that he saw a bright light like the afterimage of a flashbulb dancing in front of his eyes, a light that pulsed in and out with each titanic thud of his heart.

He saw Ms. Avery handing his Final Essay to his mother and father. Mr. Bissette was standing beside Ms. Avery, looking grave. He heard Ms. Avery say in her clear, pale voice: Your son is seriously ill. If you need proof just look at his Final Essay.

John hasn't been himself for the last three weeks or so, Mr. Bissette added. He seems frightened some of the time and dazed all of the time ... not quite there, if you see what I mean. Je pense que John est fou ... comprenez-vous?

Ms. Avery again: Do you perhaps keep certain mood-altering prescription drugs in the house where John might have access to them?

Jake didn't know about mood-altering drugs, but he knew his father kept several ounces of cocaine in the bottom drawer of his study desk. His father would undoubtedly think he had been into it.

"Now let me say a word about "Catch-22"," Ms. Avery said from the front of the room. "This is a very *challenging* book for sixth- and seventh-grade students, but you will nonetheless find it entirely enchanting, *if* you open your minds to its *special charm*. You may think of this novel, if you like, as a comedy of the surreal."

I don't need to *read* something like that, Jake though. I'm *living* something like that, and it's no comedy.

He turned over to the last page of his Final Essay. There were no words on it. Instead he had pasted another picture to the paper. It was a photograph of the Leaning Tower of Pisa. He had used a crayon to scribble it black. The dark, waxy lines looped and swooped in lunatic coils.

He could remember doing none of this.

Absolutely *none* of it.

Now he heard his father saying to Mr. Bissette: *Fou*. Yes, he's definitely *fou*. A kid who'd fuck up his chance at a school like Piper HAS to be *fou*, wouldn't you say? Well ... I can handle this. Handling things is my job. Sunnyvale's the answer. He needs to spend some time in Sunnyvale, making baskets and getting his shit back together. Don't you worry about our kid, folks; he can run ... but he can't hide.

*Would* they actually send him away to the nuthatch if it started to seem that his elevator no longer went all the way to the top floor? Jake thought the answer to that was a big you bet. No way his father was going to put up with a loony around the house. The name of the place they put him in might not be Sunnyvale, but there would be bars on the windows and there would be young men in white coats and crepe-soled shoes prowling the halls. The young men would have big muscles and watchful eyes and access to hypodermic needles full of artificial sleep.

They'll tell everybody I went away, Jake though. The arguing voices in his head were temporarily stilled by a rising tide of panic. They'll say I'm spending the year with my aunt and uncle in Modesto ... or in Sweden as an exchange student ... or repairing satellites in outer space.

May 1959

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The following events occurred in May 1959:

May 28, 1959 (Thursday)

Two female monkeys became the first animals launched by NASA into outer space and returned safely to Earth. Able, a 7-pound rhesus, and Baker, a 1-pound spider monkey, were placed in the nose cone of a Jupiter rocket and sent 300 miles aloft from Cape Canaveral, and recovered, unharmed, in the Caribbean Sea 1,100 miles away.

SPACE MONKEY PICTURES: 50-Year Anniversary

The rhesus monkey Able is tucked into a NASA cradle in preparation for takeoff aboard a U.S. Army rocket on May 28, 1959.

Fifty years ago Able and her squirrel monkey companion, Baker, became the first monkeys to survive the trip into space. Sadly, Able died a few days later during surgery to remove an infected electrode.

Able was preserved after her death and is currently on display inside her cradle at the National Air and Space Museum in Washington, D.C.

Captain KIRK: Ahead warp factor one.

SULU: Aye, aye, sir. Warp factor one.

(later, everyone is back on duty)

KIRK: Mister Spock.

SPOCK: Captain.

KIRK: There's really something I don't understand about all of this. Maybe you can explain it to me. Logically, of course. When you jettisoned the fuel and ignited it, you knew there was virtually no chance of it being seen, yet you did it anyhow. That would seem to me to be an act of desperation.

SPOCK: Quite correct, Captain.

KIRK: Now we all know, and I'm sure the doctor will agree with me, that desperation is a highly emotional state of mind. How does your well-known logic explain that?

SPOCK: Quite simply, Captain. I examined the problem from all angles, and it was plainly hopeless. Logic informed me that under the circumstances, the only possible action would have to be one of desperation. Logical decision, logically arrived at.

KIRK: I see. You mean you reasoned that it was time for an emotional outburst.

SPOCK: Well, I wouldn't put it in exactly those terms, Captain, but those are essentially the facts.

KIRK: You're not going to admit that for the first time in your life, you committed a purely human emotional act?

SPOCK: No, sir.

KIRK: Mister Spock, you're a stubborn man.

SPOCK: Yes, sir.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kosmos_954

Kosmos 954

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Kosmos 954 was a reconnaissance satellite launched by the Soviet Union in 1977. A malfunction prevented safe separation of its onboard nuclear reactor; when the satellite reentered the Earth's atmosphere the following year, it scattered radioactive debris over northern Canada, prompting an extensive cleanup operation known as Operation Morning Light.

Launch and operation

The satellite was part of the Soviet Union's RORSAT programme, a series of reconnaissance satellites which observed ocean traffic, including surface vessels and nuclear submarines, using active radar. It was assigned the Kosmos number 954 and was launched on September 18, 1977 at 13:55 UTC from the Baikonur Cosmodrome, on a Tsyklon-2 carrier rocket. With an orbital inclination of 65°, a periapsis of 259 kilometres (161 mi) and apoapsis of 277 kilometres (172 mi), it orbited the Earth every 89.5 minutes. Powered by a liquid sodium–potassium thermionic converter driven by a nuclear reactor containing around 50 kilograms (110 lb) of uranium-235, the satellite was intended for long-term on-orbit observation, but by December 1977 the satellite had deviated from its designed orbit and its flightpath was becoming increasingly erratic.

In mid-December North American Aerospace Defense Command, which had assigned the satellite the Satellite Catalog Number 10361, noticed Kosmos 954 making erratic manoeuvres, changing the altitude of its orbit by up to 50 miles, as its Soviet operators struggled to control their failing spacecraft. In secret meetings, Soviet officials warned their US counterparts that they had lost control over the vehicle, and that the system which was intended to propel the spent reactor core into a safe disposal orbit had failed.

At 11:53 AM GMT on January 24, 1978, Kosmos 954 reentered the Earth's atmosphere while travelling on a northeastward track over western Canada. At first the USSR claimed that the satellite had been completely destroyed during re-entry, but later searches showed debris from the satellite had been deposited on Canadian territory along a 600-kilometre (370 mi) path from Great Slave Lake to Baker Lake. The area spans portions of the Northwest Territories, present-day Nunavut, Alberta and Saskatchewan.

Recovery

The effort to recover radioactive material from the satellite was dubbed Operation Morning Light. Covering a total area of 124,000 square kilometres (48,000 sq mi), the joint Canadian–American team swept the area by foot and air in Phase I from January 24, 1978 to April 20, 1978 and Phase II from April 21, 1978 to October 15, 1978. They were ultimately able to recover 12 large pieces of the satellite. 10 of the fragments recovered were radioactive. These pieces displayed radioactivity of up to 1.1 sieverts per hour, yet they only comprised an estimated 1% of the fuel. One fragment had a radiation level of 500 R/h, which "is sufficient to kill a person ... remaining in contact with the piece for a few hours."

Aftermath

Under the terms of the 1972 Space Liability Convention, a state which launches an object into space is liable for damages caused by that object. For the recovery efforts, the Canadian government billed the Soviet Union C$6,041,174.70 for actual expenses and additional compensation for future unpredicted expenses; the USSR eventually paid the sum of C$3 million.

Kosmos 954 was not the first nuclear-powered RORSAT to fail; a launch of a similar satellite in 1973 failed, dropping its reactor into the Pacific Ocean north of Japan. Kosmos 1402 also failed, dropping its reactor into the South Atlantic in 1983. Subsequent RORSATs were equipped with a backup core ejection mechanism – when the primary failed on Kosmos 1900 in 1988 this system succeeded in raising the core to a safe disposal orbit.

Search teams did not find re-entry debris at the predicted location until they recalculated where that location would be based upon data indicating a stratospheric warming event had been[when?] in progress during re-entry. The stratospheric warming was first documented by the US Army Meteorological Rocket Network station at Poker Flat Research Range near Fairbanks, Alaska.

The American Presidency Project

Richard Nixon

XXXVII President of the United States: 1969 - 1974

Proclamation 4153—National Shut-In Day, 1972

September 13, 1972

By the President of the United States Of America

A Proclamation

Too few Americans realize that illness or infirmity confines several million of our fellow citizens to their homes, to nursing homes, or to other institutions.

Although we are developing programs at national, State, and local levels to bring the greatest possible number of these people back into active participation in community life, there are many who will remain shut-ins for the rest of their lives. These people do not have to be shut out, shut away from our concern and from sharing in the life of their communities.

To draw attention to the plight of our shut-in citizens, and to encourage continuing efforts to lessen their isolation, the Congress, by a joint resolution approved August 7, 1972, has requested the President to issue a proclamation designating the third Sunday of October 1972 as National Shut-In Day.

Now, Therefore, I, Richard Nixon, President of the United States of America, do hereby proclaim Sunday, October 15, 1972, as National Shut-In Day.

On that day, I urge all my fellow Americans who are fortunate enough not to be shut-ins to visit those who are less fortunate and are confined to their own homes, to nursing homes and to homes for the aged. In addition, I urge that this be the first of many visits, a new beginning of concern in the days that follow.

In Witness Whereof, I have hereunto set my hand this thirteenth day of September, in the year of our Lord nineteen hundred seventy-two, and of the Independence of the United States of America the one hundred ninety-seventh.

Doctor Daniel Jackson
Oma Desala. I felt like I knew you, like we'd met before, but… you look different.

OMA
Lightning flashes, sparks shower, in one blink of your eyes you have missed seeing.

DANIEL
Right. What did you mean when you said my fate is in my hands?

OMA
When the mind is enlightened, the spirit is freed and the body matters not.

DANIEL
You're talking about ascension, right? Rising to a different plane of existence. Are you saying that I could do that? Become like you?

OMA
You must complete the journey you began at Kheb. Only then will you be able to find your way to the Great Path.

DANIEL
What do I do?

OMA
Release your burden.

DANIEL
Okay, well, consider it released. What's Step Two?

OMA
A tall man cannot hide in the short grass.

DANIEL
You know, I really, I don't have time for one of these kind of conversations.

OMA
One cannot reach enlightenment by running from death.

Quotes

Colonel Jack O'Neill: [to Jonas Quinn] All right, let me be clear about something. I think this is the point Daniel was trying to make. A weapon of mass destruction can only be used for one thing. Now, you might think it'll ensure peace and freedom, but I guarantee you, it'll never have the effect you're hoping for until you use it, at least once.

SAINT-EXUPERY A Biography. By Stacy Schiff. Illustrated. 525 pp. New York: Alfred A. Knopf. $30.

Antoine de Saint-Exupery (1900-44) is remembered by French (and some American) children for his fantasy novella, "The Little Prince," and by adolescents for his lyrical humanistic pronouncements ("I swear that what I went through, no animal would have gone through" -- although admittedly it sounds much better in French). Both of these accomplishments have led to some confusion over the years. More often than not "The Little Prince," published in 1943, is associated with the recording of the tale made by Gerard Philipe, a beloved French actor who, like Saint-Exupery, also died young and became a legend in France, and who lent his memorable voice to the main character. As for the particular statement quoted above, which sometimes still appears in examination questions, it was originally uttered by one of Saint-Exupery's fellow pilots, Henri Guillaumet, after he narrowly escaped from a harrowing episode in the Andes

Ronald Reagan

XL President of the United States: 1981 - 1989

Radio Address to the Nation on the Space Program

January 28, 1984

My fellow Americans:

Three days ago in my State of the Union Message I spoke to you about taking on the challenge of America's next frontier, space, as one of four great goals for the eighties. Well, today I'd like to tell you more about that challenge, about how we can advance America's leadership in space through the end of this century and well into the next, and how, by reaching for exciting goals in space, we'll serve the cause of peace and create a better life for all of us here on Earth.

For a quarter of a century, we've moved steadily forward in the exploration and utilization of space, extending our knowledge of our solar system, our galaxy, and our universe. The space shuttle, our most recent advance in space technology, gives us routine access to space.

Just as the Yankee Clipper ships of the last century symbolized American vitality, our space shuttles today capture the optimistic spirit of our times. Our many achievements have proven that we can do much in space and that there's much more we must do to ensure that America lives up to her description—a land of hope and opportunity.

Our space goals will chart a path of progress toward creating a better life for all people who seek freedom, prosperity, and security.

Our approach to space has three elements. Let me discuss each of them briefly. The first is a commitment to build a permanently manned space station to be in orbit around the Earth within a decade. It will be a base for many kinds of scientific, commercial, and industrial activities and a steppingstone for further goals.

Scientists from NASA, universities, and private industry will do research in and around the space station—research that's only possible in the zero-gravity and vacuum of space. As needed, private industry will fund expansions of the NASA facility where companies can manufacture new products and provide new services.

But most importantly, like every step forward, a space station will not be an end in itself but a doorway to even greater progress in the future. In this case, a space station will open up new opportunities for expanding human commerce and learning and provide a base for further exploration of that magnificent and endless frontier of space.

International cooperation, the second element of our plan, has long been a guiding principle of the United States space program. The tricentennial of the first German immigration to America was celebrated last year with a joint space effort. Just as our friends were asked to join us in the shuttle program, our friends and allies will be invited to join with us in the space station project.

The third goal of our space strategy will be to encourage American industry to move quickly and decisively into space. Obstacles to private sector space activities will be removed, and we'll take appropriate steps to spur private enterprise in space.

We expect space-related investments to grow quickly in future years, creating many new jobs and greater prosperity for all Americans. Companies interested in putting payloads into space, for example, should have ready access to private sector launch services.

Transportation Secretary Elizabeth Dole will work to stimulate the private sector investment in commercial, unmanned space boosters. We need a thriving, commercial launch industry. NASA, along with other departments and agencies, will be taking a number of initiatives to promote private sector investment to ensure our lead over current and potential foreign competitors. So, we're going to bring into play America's greatest asset—the vitality of our free enterprise system.

We've always prided ourselves on the pioneer spirit that built America. Well, that spirit is a key to our future as well as our past. Once again, we're on a frontier. Our willingness to accept this challenge will reflect whether America's men and women today have the same bold vision, the same courage and indomitable spirit that made us a great nation.

The peaceful use of space promises great benefits to all mankind. It opens vast new opportunities for our industry and ingenuity. The only limits we have are those of our own courage and imagination. When President John Kennedy challenged America to go to the Moon, he said it would not be one person going but an entire nation putting him there.

Our space program has done so much to bring us together because it gives us the opportunity to be the kind of nation we want to be, the kind of nation we must always be—dreaming, daring, and creating.

Until next week, thanks for listening

from my private journal as Kerry Burgess: 11/4/2006 9:42 PM
Ah. That dirt road that I followed to Stampede Pass that time is NF-54.

And even more interesting….I can’t remember what it was I was driving when I went up there. That is very interesting. I wouldn’t have driven a car. I am quite certain it was well before I had my Jeep Wrangler. That Wrangler is that only vehicle I have had out here that I would have driven up there and I am quite certain it was with the first two years after moving out here that I went up there. Very weird.










from my private journal as Kerry Burgess: 11/7/2006 1:01 PM
I still can’t remember how it was I got up to Stampede Pass that time. I can visualize being up there but I can’t visualize anything about the vehicle I was driving. I sometimes want to say that I drove that blue RX-7 up there but that seems impossible. I would not have driven that car up a mountain on dirt roads. And even more weird, I can almost visualize myself sitting in there vehicle while I was there, but I can visualize absolutely no details about it. It is as though the details of the vehicle have been erased from my memory but everything thing else is there. I can remember driving down the mountain, but I can’t even visualize the windshield of the vehicle. I suspect this is the beginning of my real memory returning. I may start to realize the vehicle I was driving in that day and that will be a conflict because I will find myself thinking about how I never owned a vehicle like that.










from my private journal as Kerry Burgess: 11/7/2006 2:42 PM
I also wonder how I knew I was at the peak of Stampede Pass. I can see it located on the map, but I am confused about that detail surrounding when I see myself up there at some time I can’t see how I could have been up there.










from my private journal as Kerry Burgess: 01/12/07 10:33 AM
I still haven't had any new thoughts about those memories of Stampede Pass I was writing about. I thought that was some kind of door that was going to open to turn the Thomas Ray memories into conventional memories. The intriguing component about Stampede Pass is that I can' remember what I was driving when I went up there. There's no way I would have driven my blue Mazda RX-7 up there on those gravel roads and I am quite certain I never drove my Jeep Wrangler up there. I certainly would not have driven that Buick car up there, which was the car I had when I moved out here and I just started thinking again about that car yesterday. So the mystery remains: how did I get up there?










from my private journal as Kerry Burgess: 03/17/07 10:36 PM
There has got to be a way to disconnect these false "memories" and reconnect my real memories into my consciousness.

What about that conflicted memory of being on Stampede Pass that day? How could I remember that? I had no vehicle that could have got me up there back in those days. I never drove my Jeep Wrangler up there. That has got to mean something. If I could just see it.

03/17/07 10:38 PM
And when I remember it, I'll know where to go. They're waiting for me now, but I have to consciously remember. I think they send people to walk around me that I should recognize but that I still do not consciously recognize.










from my private journal as Kerry Burgess: 05/15/07 4:10 AM
I did reach some kind of new level recently, as I progress towards my real identity. The thought occurred to me though that it will take some kind of medical process to fully restore my real memories. I don't know though. I don't know. I feel again I am on the verge of remembering something. I just don't see how it won't all come flooding back. I haven't had any more thoughts about the confusing memory of Stampede Pass. I was, and remain, confident there is a key to that memory conflict. I just can't remember how I got up there but I can remember clearly that I have been up there within the past 9 years.

"Rio"

I keep puzzling over a visual memory I have of being at Stampede Pass on a nearby mountain. I can still see myself being up there. I remember that I studied Stampede Pass a lot on the map, for some reason, before I moved out here in 1998. But the puzzling part is that I cannot remember how I got up there. I can visualize being there, but I cannot remember what I drove up there and it is very puzzling. After Microsoft approached me in 1998 to work for them, at a point after my real memories had been suppressed and I found myself needing employment, and then transported me out here for the job, they also transported a burgundy Buick car I had bought earlier for about $600. I can't remember the model of that Buick but I remember it was rather beat up and the company that transported it made a lot of notations about the dents and dings in the body of the car. So I am quite certain I did not drive that car up those gravel roads to that mountain pass. After Microsoft transported me out here across many states from South Carolina, my Buick didn't arrive for a while, so they gave me a rental car to use until the movers got my Buick to me. When I flew in to Seattle on the flight Microsoft arranged for me, the rental company that Microsoft uses told me something about how they didn't have a car available for me and asked if I would take a Dodge Caravan van that was available and I did take the van. But I am quite certain I did not drive that van up there because I only had it for the first month, from about 12/5/1998










from my private journal as Kerry Burgess: 09/30/07 9:09 PM
Another thing similar is that detail I have written about of being up there at Stampede Pass that time and not now being able to reconcile how I got up there.

Something has changed about the whole notion. I am not so much remembering the experience, as was the perspective I wrote from; rather I am remembering my recollection of that experience. Something like that. I can still visualize being there on that dirt road where I determined was Stampede Pass, but yet for the life of me, I cannot even begin to remember how I drove up there. It makes no sense.










from my private journal as Kerry Burgess: 11/03/07 2:40 AM
There is still that detail about Stampede Pass but I have to consciously try to remember that I was even puzzled over that. The sense of puzzlement isn't there associated with that detail, which is curious itself.

But what will be my first true memory that returns to conscious awareness and that can't be reconciled into the world of Kerry Burgess?

11/03/07 2:42 AM
All this stuff I have been writing....where does that come from?

It is all just thoughts that are present in my mind that I puzzle over. I have no idea where it comes from. It is all just there, in my mind.

11/03/07 2:45 AM
I think I would like that first true memory to return to conscious awareness to be from 1977. I would like to remember first the first time I saw Phoebe after I returned from my mission to the comet and I was feeling pleased with myself.

11/03/07 2:47 AM
I can't even begin to imagine the details associated with that memory.

Where were we? New York? Did I call her? Did I go by her house? Was the weather cold? How hard was it for me to readjust to Earth gravity? When did I drive a car again? Did I have a car or did I drive a motorcycle? Did I take Phoebe to see a movie soon after I got back? How many people in my family and her family knew where I had really been? Was my broken ribs still bothering me? How did breathing Earth air again seem to me?

11/03/07 2:53 AM
Did I fly into that airport north of Albany and did she meet me at the airport in 1977? What month was that? I'll bet I have that documented somewhere; that first day I saw her in 1977. It was probably some time after I returned. I was probably in quarantine for a while. Something like that. I might have still been in relatively good physical condition, after being able to return to exercise. The broken ribs probably restricted my exercising for a while. Maybe not. I probably had to fly into the comet with the use of only one arm.

11/03/07 2:55 AM
Think about it.

How would I find out where I documented the first day I saw Phoebe again in 1977?

A television episode?

Probably.

But what?

11/03/07 2:57 AM
I don't even know where to begin looking because I have no idea how long I had been back on Earth.

6 months?

11/03/07 2:57 AM
Maybe I tied it to her age. Something about her age at the time I saw her again. Maybe.

That would make sense, considering 11/26/1976.

11/03/07 2:59 AM
I had probably talked to her on the telephone soon after I returned to Earth in April 1977 but it was a while before I saw her again.

Stampede Pass

I must have been lying in bed for over four hours last night and could not fall asleep for that much time and longer because I started thinking during the night last night that Stampede Pass is where I materialized after the L-1011 Stargazer spiraled down from over forty thousand feet after breaking into pieces and then crashed with such force that it virtually vaporized on contact with that ground. I started thinking of how that scene with "Picard" and his wife announcing that dinner was ready could be a detail I created to represent the details I read about the source of the name for Stampede Pass, as well as how "Kirk" mentions that he smell something burning in the kitchen. I thought over many details last night as I hoped to fall asleep and I was thinking of how the dialog with the statue in the 1996 film "Star Trek: First Contact" is about how after I understood that my aircraft was unflyable because, for one reason, a wing had just broken off due to impact with debris from the Pegasus rocket that had just exploded in front of my windshield, I was turned around part ways in my seat as the pilot and I had my had outreached to shake the hand of Kerry Burgess and I spoke that flying with had been an honor but the aircraft was spinning too fast for us to shake hands. When I materialized at Stampede Pass I felt as though I had materialized about one inch or two above the ground and I found myself standing there in the woods on that dirt road with absolutely no idea where I was and I was standing there with my hand still reaching out to shake his hand.
