GreetingHello, my Power Patrol! Welcome to more of my 2005 adventures - me vs. the modern age! I've got lots of details at my old web log of the Power Patrol! (ref: http://www.eilertech.com/stories/2005/fergletter_may.htm) I can't explain all the stuff that went on back then, because it was full of reality shifts! But this story starts in the middle of that log. Keep reading, and you'll figure it out! Other people have been writing about this stuff - so I have guest commentary! Enjoy! (signed) The Powernaut!

Bonus Section: Commentary from Vince Cortez! What's Been Happening?
All the links here can be found under http://www.eilertech.com/stories/2005/ .The previous Powernaut 2005 strip mentioned how the Space Jellyfish had taken over Earth. This happened during a severe and ongoing reality shift. (ref: humans.htm) Before the shift, in the United States we had Ms. President Rodham. Now, we have Mr. President Bush Jr. The Jellyfish seem to be benign. Apparently they've dealt with reality shifts before. They're not part of an alien invasion; it's just a few of them on our planet. As for the superhumans, Karl put it best: "Brawny heroes and buxom heroines are probably fighting to reverse this 20-year-record-size reality shift." The Powernaut has his own records of this stuff, alongside legendary extra-universal characters such as Superman and Thanos. The rest of us *don't* have those records. So the people who publish the Powernaut's comic strip have skipped those accounts, and I don't blame them. The current strip mentions the Powernaut's recent trip to Chicago. (ref: powerpatrol1.htm) An infestation of stone men arose then, throughout the metro area. He actually saved the Hurrier from them, at a theater on the outskirts. No one is quite sure where the stone men came from yet; they could just be a side effect of the reality shift. They look like the 1990s mercenary Rock Pile Jim, who was a human transformed into a rock-like body. I'm familiar with the ghost research the Powernaut mentioned. Private enterprise started it, the Government tried to acquire it, and I helped disrupt it. (ref: fergletter_may.htm) Now they're rebuilding. They say they need to monitor the feelings of dead people after terror attacks such as the Reduction of Nappanee. Uh, fine, but we'll need to stop them capturing people like they captured my friend's brother. The Powernaut reported the American debut of a German adventurer named the Hurrier. Wyatt Ferguson has revealed, the Hurrier publishes his diaries. (ref: pentahedron.htm#hurrier) Perhaps the Hurrier will make himself more known worldwide in future. |
Bonus Section: Commentary from Vince Cortez! Karl and Steffi and Hypergaard
All the links here can be found under http://www.eilertech.com/stories/2005/ .Hypergaard's a mystery to me. But someone purporting to be Wyatt Ferguson wrote of extradimensional superhumans earlier this year. (ref: pentahedron.htm) Perhaps there's a relationship. In any case, Karl Scribner and Steffi Brock seem to have their own relationship with Hypergaard, going back to 1969. They're both barely old enough for that, though they would have been children then. There's definitely a story to tell there. |
Bonus Section: Commentary from Vince Cortez! The Test
|
On the surface, this looks like a very silly test. I looked online and couldn't find any test givers who would admit to asking questions like those. The online sources said they take their questions and even testing environments seriously, to reduce test anxiety. But it seems to me this test might have been designed to gauge performance when anxious. Since it's an online test, they can measure how long it takes to answer each question too. I noticed all the questions seemed to measure tolerance of villainy. Karl's no villain, but he still passed. He once told me he wouldn't shoot Hitler, he'd find him a nice Jewish girlfriend. Yep, that's Karl. |

Bonus Section: Commentary from Vince Cortez! The Cleanup
All the links here can be found under http://www.eilertech.com/stories/2005/ .One may wonder what the governmental response would be in a world where people really can move hurricanes around by wishing. I can say, they take it seriously. But this isn't quite the government we're most familiar with... This series has already mentioned, the world was ruled by the Space Jellyfish. If you look closely, you can see they were on the Powernaut's side in this confrontation. I don't know exactly what they did with the villains, but there was no trace of them until... well, you'll have to read more Powernaut stories to find what happens later. Speaking of more Powernaut stories... We haven't yet heard from everyone who was involved in this incident or in hurricane relief efforts. I'm sure there will be more stories from many people. But the Powernaut has already published his own notes. (powerpatrol2.htm) If you prefer your Powernaut adventures as comic strips, Karl's told me the next modern-era episode will come online early next year. |
