Bert,
You don't need to go off planet to find that place, it's called Britain &
they pronounce "somewhat crazy" as "eccentric".

I am aging.

Sadness can age a person.
Now that the Perseus data is nearly processed, I guess the shock is
catching
up to us.
We are All aging here right now.

Uhm.
We lost one of our members in Perseus.
You had not met this one yet, Sil.
Silouen.

Sil was one of the finest engineers and pilots we had.
Rare among us.
Vision and coordination as good as any of your pilots.
Sil was out scouting the hole that had disrupted the nebula we were
studying.
The hole changed direction unexpectedly, and Sil was caught in its
grip.
Happened too fast, nothing we could do.

Do not know where Sil is now, just no longer with us.
Uhm.
We are all feeling the effects now, so probably will be quiet for a
time.

So sorry, probably should not have burdened you with this.

Until later.
Many good wishes to you.

Darla

Sorry to hear. Any exploration, I suppose can be risky no matter where
you
are - exploring in your own backyard and falling down a hill, or out
near
a
black hole in Persius. But, if some types of holes are really pathways
to
other universes, your pilot is still doing his job just in a different
neighborhood. Small comfort maybe, but the ending of a chapter doesn't
mean
the book is finished...

Greysky



In gratitude, Greysky.

Your thoughts are comforting.
Comforting indeed.

It is difficult to explain about our relationships with each other.
You lose a friend whom you have known for perhaps fifty years, and it
devastates you.
Only time and distance can ease your pain a little.

Silouen was our friend.
In the millions of your years that we have known Sil, our lives have been
saved countless times by this one.
Sil's smile can send your heart soaring from the deepest wells.
In fact, this is how I brought myself back from the dumps - by picturing
Silouen's bright and ready grin.

We are going back to look for Sil again next week, and to further study
the
oval nebula.
The hole was not a black hole, by the way.
Very different in that this hole manages to move around very much like a
living thing, or as if a living thing is guiding it.
And yet similar to a black hole in that it is a tremendously powerful
gravity source.
You can be thankful that we have only come across these holes in the
Perseus
arm.
We have never seen them in our Sagittarius arm, nor in your Orion spur.
This is fortunate because these holes feed on stars and nebulae.

Again, Greysky, many thanks for your easing words.

Darla


Glad to hear you haven't given up on your friend. He may still yet be
around, just whipped way off course by the gravity field... if it were me,
I'd try to get close to a nearby sun and use its gravity field to counter
the holes' field.... maybe Sil is in close orbit around a star??

Now to the nature of the gravitational 'anomaly'. From what you say it is
indeed a good thing we have none near us - what defence would we be able to
mount against a 'living hole' moving in to begin munching (and probably
breeding?) on our puny sun? Yikes!! If the universe is fundamentally alive,
then it would be unrealistic to suppose it is a garden of Eden out there.
There would be an entire 'spaceology' populated by many types of entities,
and this thing sounds like one of them... perhaps a 'bug' that uses
gravitational energies as a shield the way a cockroach uses a chitin shell
to protect it from other predators as well as its hostile environment?
Great, our galaxy is developing a case of the cosmic crabs. I really hope
they can't breed or are capable of FTL travel, or there will indeed be a
problem in the future... if you don't step on cockroaches when you see them
they wll soon take over your house, and we can't move the whole planet to a
new neighborhood. Do us all a favor - if this is really a bug that is bent
on galactic consumption- once you find Sil, drop some RAID down its gullet,
ok?

We are all strange in some ways, Bert.
Usually, this strangeness is undetectable by our own selves.
When you detect your own strangeness, it means that you are not as strange
as you think you are.

As for fitting in, from our perspective you fit in very well on your planet.
But then, a Draminian xpoifjvo[jh[o would fit in very well on your planet.

You might be interested to know, nightbat, that your words played a large
part in our decision to move up our return plans.
We will be leaving soon to continue our search for Silouen.

And in our hopes for your continued existence, and in keeping with your up
and coming St. Valentine's Day ritual, our hearts go out to all of you.

The hardest thing for you people right now is to think happy and loving
thoughts when you do not Want to.
Like when you are angry or in pain, or frustrated or in mourning.
Anger, pain, frustration, mourning - these are some of the things that age
you very Quickly.
You must Work to condition yourselves to smile Even when you do not Want to
smile.

Darla, these transmissions are potentially being monitored by
millions of Earthlings around the globe, please keep that in mind when
recommending or doing any heavy breathing. They might get the wrong idea
about what they are about. (:~)

Glad to hear you are going back to look for most able Sil, for she/he
could be trying to find you. If she/he is as good a pilot as you say,
she/he knows enough to go with the flow and not against it for too long.
She/he might just have had to glide with the strong cosmic currents
until she/he can find an opening to safely escape its formidable
dragging pull. Naturally, keep all the emergency frequencies and buffers
high and open for any distress call and increase amp modulation
reception on all bands in case she/he is really far out. Just go back to
her/his last charted coordinate or actual last contact point and remain
there until hopefully she/he gets a fix on you again.

Forget for now about Bert's sweet potato pie, raiding so called living
cosmic entities, and clearing your name of sockpuppet's implied
impostors, get Sil if you can.
My words are just words, but Sil needs action to help her/him make it
back. Here is a clue, it's all about renormalization, not looking at
stars, planets, nebulas etc. as living things. People on Earth used to
worship the sun for its warmth and life giving properties. It's a star
for heavens sake, like billions of others in the cosmos, get over it.
The Universe, if looked upon as a whole, is a system, not a God. I can't
tell you enough to stop wasting your time looking for cosmos living
entity, go and try to save, if at all possible, the one that really
presently matters, Sil.

Then when you hopefully have her/him safely aboard and have returned, we
can astronomy group go into cosmos theoretical reality, physical system
analysis, properties of stellar acids and gases and their enormous human
like appetites, and oc's important relayed gravity cosmic flow thoughts.
Too bad you haven't dropped off those radio decoder multi light year
range rings yet, for the group as a whole might be able to help track
Sil's whereabouts for you. I have a nice big field next to my home so
you can fly over here in Indiana where the buses to run and ha, ha, who
would notice your large space ship making a quick fly by to make the
drop? A good dozen would do, even one for Zinni, Carruthers, and St.
Cloud. Heaven knows we need experienced intelligent answers not more
telescopes.

Ok, Earth internet station to cosmic visitors, safe journey, happy
Valentines to all, and good luck. Nightbat to Darla out.


the nightbat

Hi Charles Thanks for that advise. I have a dog called "Rudy",and as
most in this group have seen a pure white octopus called "Moby" Lot of
fish tanks. Still the sadest part of getting old(I'm old) is losing
friends that you have had all your life. I told them to eat a pound of
Mexican sweet potatoes a day,and they only ate one potato a week. Bert

Truly.
You will be ecstatic to know that the struggles continue.
No matter how old or advanced you get.

Life kicks you best when you're down.

Yes, there should be many options explored and partaken in before a 'final
option' like killing something is taken, but I also think not looking at
killing as a possible solution - no matter how unclean it may be- need to
also be considered *sometimes*. This is expressed here on earth as
'pacifist', or anti death penalty, but only partly. Sometimes the greater
consequences of not taking an action can justify taking an action like
killing. An (extraterrestrial) example sparked by this posting comes to
mind - suppose Darla recieves horrifying news on the FTL radio that her home
solar system is under assult - by a group of cosmic bugs - that are heading
towards her home star to 'feed' on it, resulting in it eventually going nova
and destroying everything she holds dear? You can't communicate with them
because they are not intelligent / possess no souls/ are driven only by
satiating their primal hunger by feasting on Darla's people and their
property. If there are no other solutions, I don't think you should have
much of a guilty conscience for protecting your home. Still, it's nice to
know there are people out there that find violence as a universal soultion
repugnant - I'd bet you often run across ruins and remnants in your travels
that show how others have not learned this until too late.

BTW, Sorry for picking on your home. I didn't use the earth as an example
because we wouldn't have a chance, even against bugs.

No apology necessary, Greysky.
Our home planet was swallowed by our star eons ago when it RG'd.
It was one of the most tragic, and at the very same time one of the most
beautiful things I have ever seen.
A fact of life, this will Also happen to Your planet in a few billion years.
