Just as I was finishing this note, the last part was about trying to find any past references I had made about aliens and mind-control.
All the other content I had established here before that point.
But just at the precise same moment, trying to find something about aliens and mind-control to close out this note, one of the FM antenna broadcast stations I randomly tune around to has started playing "Moving in Stereo". I don't know the song they're playing next, some of the lyrics I've caught are "How high, do you want to fly", KPND, next song: "This is what you get, this is what you get, when you mess with us"
So I decided to finish it up there and start working on formatting the note for this post on Blogger and then post.

Chapter 37: Elvi
"Captain, you are a very special, very important person - "
"Wait."
"No, no, I - "
"Really. Wait. Look, Doctor Okoye. Elvi. I've been feeling a kind of tension between us for a while now, and I've just been pretending not to. Ignoring it. And that was probably a bad call on my part. I was just trying to make it all go away so we wouldn't have to say anything, but I'm in a very committed, very serious relationship, and while some of my parents weren't monogamists, this relationship is. Before we go any farther, I need to be clear with you that nothing like that can happen between us. It's not you. You're a beautiful, intelligent woman and - "
"The organism that's blinding us," she said. "You're immune to it. I need to get blood samples. Maybe tissue."
"I'll help anyway I can, but you have to understand that - "
"That's why you're special. You're immune. That's what I was talking about."
Holden stopped, his mouth half-open, his hands out before him, patting the air reassuringly. For three interminable heartbeats, he was silent. And then, "Oh. *Oh*. I thought you were - "
"The eye assessment that Doctor Merton did - "
"Because I thought... Well, I'm sorry. I misunderstood - "
"There was. The tension? You were talking about? There was some tension. But there's not anymore," Elvi said. "At all."
"Okay," Holden said. He looked at her for a moment, his head turned a degree to the side. "Well, this is awkward."
"It is *now*."
"How about we never mention this again?"
"I think that would be fine," Elvi said.

Biography
Born March 23, 1986 in New York City, New York, USA
"Leviathan Wakes" by James Corey, "The Expanse" series of novels, book 1
Chapter 1: Holden
[first lines]
A hundred and fifty years before, when the parochial disagreements between Earth and Mars had been on the verge of war, the Belt had been a far horizon of tremendous mineral wealth beyond viable economic reach, and the outer planets had been beyond even the most unrealistic corporate dream. Then Solomon Epstein had built his little modified fusion drive, popped it on the back of his three-man yacht, and turned it on. With a good scope, you could still see his ship going at a marginal percentage of the speed of light, heading out into the big empty. The best, longest funeral in the history of mankind. Fortunately, he'd left his plans on his home computer. The Epstein Drive hadn't given humanity the stars, but it had delivered the planets.
from my private journal, as me, Kerry Burgess, typed after being released from the USA Veterans Affairs psychiatric hospital enduring many months sitting in a grungy two-computer room in a homeless shelter on the waterfront in downtown Seattle:

It might be because I knew Phoebe Cates, but I can't remember.

Hell, I could be secretly married right now to Phoebe Cates for all I know.

(from internet transcript)
SPOCK: Stratos, Captain. A city actually floating in the sky.
KIRK: Looks as tranquil as its reputation, doesn't it.
SPOCK: It is one of the most interesting metropolises in the galaxy. Have you ever visited here, Captain?
KIRK: Once. I didn't have time to look around.
SPOCK: I've never had the opportunity. However, I hear its art forms are incomparable.
KIRK: Yes, art is the population's chief occupation.
SPOCK: It is a totally intellectual society. All forms of violence have been eliminated.
KIRK: There's the mine entrance. The zenite consignment should have been there. I don't understand it. Those Troglyte miners were supposed to have made delivery when we beamed down.
SPOCK: Perhaps there is another entrance, Captain.
KIRK: Perhaps.
SPOCK: It would seem the Troglytes have changed their minds about delivery.

The last words anyone wants to hear over the intercom right now are: "My name is Kerry Burgess. I'll be your pilot today."

One other apocalyptic scenario that has been in my mind for I don't know how long is something I eventually understood to be similar to lemmings that kill themselves.
I pondered many times over how this area was in the future going to be overrun by about 30 million people as they streamed through here to drown themselves in Puget Sound.
I gave that scenario a great deal of thought and even now I ponder over why it seems important that they all drowned themselves in Puget Sound instead of taking such logical steps as jumping off the I-95 bridge into Lake Washington.
I think to myself that such a plan would be more logical because the bodies would not pile up near the shores as they would if 30 million people walk into the Puget Sound here in the downtown area than if they jumped off those bridges where I think the lake is very deep.
Sometimes I think they will have other lemmings that will transport them here in buses and trains so the movement will be orderly and so that the ones waiting to reach the bay will not pass out from lack of food and water.
Other times I think they will stay strictly on the roadways so they will not trample the foliage or cause any other such damage and that they will know to find place to use the bathroom instead of simply relieving themselves where they stand or where they are slowly walking as I imagine there will be a great mass of them as they make their way to the sound.
Other times I imagine that other lemmings will arrange for a long series of makeshift piers that extend into the deeper waters of the Sound so all those 30 million or so people will walk off those temporary piers and into the deeper water.
I imagine they will carry weights with to drag them down to the bottom of the Sound. It dawned on me they will carry extra weight in backpacks.
