by me, Kerry Burgess, 12/07/2023 04:12 AM
The purpose of this note is to follow up on my post from yesterday and that immediately precedes this post. With no idea of what I would find today, this day 12/07/2023, I followed the code-pattern of my original work and formed and assembled this content today. And because of the track of this content, I decided to watch for the first time the next episode of Apple-tv's "For All Mankind" streaming-video serial. This next episode is completely new to me. I wrote this paragraph before watching the episode for the first time.

Episode Summary
When their shuttle is diverted to a planetoid, Kirk, Spock, and McCoy encounter Earth's Warp Drive pioneer, Zefram Cochrane, who appears to have survived there alone for 150 years.

NANCY: What's happening? I demand to know.
KIRK: You already know as much as we do, Miss Hedford. Whatever that thing is outside, it's yanked us off course from the Enterprise.
SPOCK: Now on course nine eight mark one two, heading directly toward Gamma Canaris region.
MCCOY: Jim, we've got to get Miss Hedford to the Enterprise. Her condition.
KIRK: I know, Bones, but there's nothing I can do about it.
NANCY: I insist you make your scheduled rendezvous with the Enterprise.
KIRK: Miss Hedford, we'll do what we can, when we can. At the moment, we're helpless. You might as well sit back and enjoy the ride.

FLINT: In that region of earth later called Mesopotamia, in the year 3834 BC, as the millennia are reckoned. I was Akharin, a soldier, a bully and a fool. I fell in battle, pierced to the heart and did not die.
MCCOY: Instant tissue regeneration coupled with some perfect form of biological renewal. You learned that you were immortal and
FLINT: And to conceal it. To live some portion of a life, to pretend to age and then move on before my nature was suspected.
SPOCK: Your wealth and your intellect are the product of centuries of acquisition. You knew the greatest minds in history.
FLINT: Galileo, Socrates, Moses. I have married a hundred times, Captain. Selected, loved, cherished. Caressed a smoothness, inhaled a brief fragrance. Then age, death, the taste of dust. Do you understand?
SPOCK: You wanted a perfect, ultimate woman, as brilliant, as immortal as yourself. Your mate for all time.
FLINT: Designed by my heart. I could not love her more.
KIRK: Spock, you knew?
SPOCK: I had hoped I was wrong.
FLINT: You cannot love an android, Captain. I love her. She is my handiwork, my property. She is what I desire.
KIRK:: You brought me here to learn this? Does she know?
FLINT: She will never know.
KIRK: Let's go.
FLINT: You will stay.

SPOCK: We have discovered what he is, Captain.

Director Duncan Jones says the finale to the Moon trilogy will be an 'action road movie'
By Karen Han Jul 12, 2019, 10:20am EDT
Duncan Jones' feature debut Moon remains one of the best science fiction films of the 21st century. Moon’s story subverts both genre conventions and audience expectations; Sam Bell (Sam Rockwell) thinks he’s nearing the end of his three-year contract mining helium-3 on the moon, but his story quickly becomes much more complicated.

Captain's log, supplemental. Starfleet Command reports no unusual activity along the Neutral Zone, and there is no sign of a temporal anomaly. It would appear that I am the only member of the crew to retain any knowledge of the events I experienced.

(the senior staff poker game has been going for a while)
CRUSHER: Take it.
RIKER: Any time, Doctor.
LAFORGE: Four hands in a row. How does he do it?
RIKER: I cheat. I'm kidding.
CRUSHER: You know, I was thinking about what the Captain told us about the future. About how we all changed and drifted apart. Why would he want to tell us what's to come?
LAFORGE: Sure goes against everything we've heard about not polluting the time line, doesn't it.
DATA: I believe, however, this situation is unique. Since the anomaly did not occur, there have already been changes in the way this time line is unfolding. The future we experience will undoubtedly be different from the one the Captain encountered.
RIKER: Maybe that's why he told us. Knowing what happens in that future allows us to change things now, so that some things never happen.

WORF: Agreed.

RIKER: Of course. Have a seat.
DATA: Would you care to deal, sir?
PICARD: Oh, er, thank you, Mister Data. Actually, I used to be quite a card player in my youth, you know. I should have done this a long time ago.

The unmanned Pegasus rocket would ignite and blast into orbit. On this particular day of 6/27/94, when I believe I was flying the Ten-Eleven, nickname "Stargazer," while a U.S. Navy Lieutenant Commander, there was a serious problem with the launch of the Pegasus. All I really know about all this is one actual detail that I have read indicating that the "Stargazer" did launch a Pegasus rocket in June 1994, but the launch was a failure. That is all I really know. Everything else, as much of what I have written, are either real, forgotten memories trying to resurface in my mind, or it is all just random thoughts of imagination. I believe absolutely it is the former though. As for "Stargazer," I have two theories about what happened that day. One is that the rocket was deployed, but it exploded when it was supposed to ignite. The other theory is that the rocket fired before it had detached from the fuselage and carried us farther up into the atmosphere before it disconnected or exploded. Whichever way it happened, the impact to the aircraft was virtually the same and the aircraft broke into several pieces as it plummeted over 8 miles to Earth.

"The Second Soul" April 14, 1995
A dying race of aliens has come to Earth to stop its own extinction... by reanimating human corpses. The N'Tal do not have bodies of their own, instead they require hosts to live — but they have the technology to reanimate, cure and occupy the bodies of the recently dead. It appears that the N'Tal intend to change the Earth's atmosphere to their own advantage, while killing all humans. Instead, the N'Tal have built an enclosed replica of their home planet, so that their children, who will be fully human, can know the history of the N'Tal home world.
