Jeff, weakened by his radiation sickness, suffers a major heart attack and collapses before he can call for help. Darren and Frasier escape from their street gang captors but Jesse gets stuck and is recaptured. NOTES ON SEASON FIVE: Actor Pat Talkington who played Kevin Holt was killed in a car accident, thus his character was supposed to have Kevin turn up missing but return early on. Lara Jill Miller's character was supposed to stay but the passing of Pat made her ask to leave. Michael Cerveris replaced Mike Holloway as Mike Bell. WHY? This was one of the worst of many bad moves by TC. And for no apparent reason. Christoff St John (playing Dion) became Kristoff St John. Keith Mitchell took on the name Keith Coogan (playing Toby). Toby fixed TIM and expanded him all over the satellite. His personality was given an overhaul as well and his voice became that of Vincent Price. As much as I like Price, this was yet another bad move in a series of bad moves. The 90 minute format seemed un-needed as not much continued to happen via each episode. Jeff Martin, a pivotal character for this season and the season to follow, was, in the first book, barely mentioned as breaking out. He also appeared in season four but was just briefly referred to as being in trouble! Anyway, Jeff broke out but knew Chip for a long time and was a lifelong friend. Jeff apparently broke out in early September of 1986. SPINOFF CHECKLIST: STAR TEAM FOUR-single season POINT OF NO RETURN-February mini series to conclude the series ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- From: J2rider@aol.com Subject: TPFICT: tctp6 Date: 02 Apr 2000 17:24:44 EDT 1987-1988 142-CHOICES Jesse gets stuck in a hole, it was too small for his larger body.

Evan agrees to help Terry fight Dion's charges. 149-EMPATHIC AGONY Terry senses the impending breakout for Jake and Josh. Julia, unaware of this, kidnaps the twins to use as bait for Trent. Julia subjects the twins to separation torture, hurting one physically while the other, in isolation, feels the pain as well. 150-THE GEMINI FACTOR Jake and Josh become the first twins to break out.

Evan asks for a formal meeting to remove Dion from his position as leader. Julia offers to save the twins, but at a cost. 160-SOUL SEARCH Toby is unable to revive the twins. Trent considers Julia's offer. Julia's terms: Trent accompany the twins to help with her research. Dion takes care of some personal affairs. Evan pushes for Dion's impeachment. Trent and Toby decide to agree to Julia's terms to save the twins. Trent agreed but only because he knew if he didn't, there was no other way to save the twins. He later found out he was wrong. Trent and the Twins leave to join Julia, who, to Daniel's consternation, keeps her end of the bargain, as Trent does his. 161-LIFE AND DEATH Dion returns from visiting his family and shocks everyone by tendering his resignation as leader. The members see Dion's turmoil and wonder if they have been doing the right thing. Evan tries to get through to Dion. A horrified Evan listens to Dion's ramblings, as he realizes what Dion has planned just seconds too late. Dion blew his brains out with a 44 caliber pistol, with Evan looking on, too stunned to react soon enough. 162-WHY ARE WE HERE? Evan falls apart after failing to stop Dion's sudden suicide, which he witnessed and feels totally responsible for. John and Liz return to find the Tp in shock. The members question how and why it happened and how it could happen. Terry and Renny return home for Dion's funeral. Jeb does some soul searching of his own. 163-RETURN OF THE RENEGADE Daniel, stunned by memory impact, returns to the satellite and is captured. He escapes, now understanding what affected him and why. He leaves no word of the condition of Trent and the twins. Jeb returns home in secret. 164-A QUESTION OF LOYALTY Andreas battles with his emotions over his loyalty to the Tp and to his homeland. Trish, Brett, Lorraine, and Derek work on a project to get everyone back on track again. Trent tries to help the twins, unable to comprehend what has happened to them. Daniel taunts Trent about Dion's suicide. 165-DECEPTIVE QUESTIONS Trent makes a breakthrough with the twins. Jeff takes a chance to visit his brother and sister. Trent and the twins, weak but once again active, stage a daring escape, which infuriates Julia and Daniel. Jeb is caught and taken prisoner by his foster father. Andreas contacts the KGB. 166-PAST, PRESENT AND FUTURE The TP band together to save Jeb from more deadly abuse. Colonel Moninco returns Andreas's phone call. Toby makes a startling discovery about Jeb's mysterious missing past. Jeb had been kidnaped at the age of 3 and raised by his abusive step parents. His real name is Jeb Terrance Atherton. Jeb's real father is dead and his real mother remarried a scuzball who is after her money. The Athertons are worth 150 million. 167-HAUNTING MEMORIES The Tp are successful in saving Jeb, who is stunned by Toby's news. Andreas informs the membership of his decision, which does not sit well. John and Liz form a new leadership plan for the TP. 168-PHANTOMS Josh, Jake, and Tina are saved from a trap set by Julia by a mysterious stranger who seems to know all about them. John and Liz present their leadership plan to the full membership, which readily accepts it. A young orphan named Max Manchester (Sunny Besen Thrasher), also a genius, age 12, breaks out with help from Toby. 169-SUPREME COUNCIL The membership begin deciding on who should be a part of the new Supreme Council. Toby and Evan decline leadership but accept seats on the council. A secret mental vote conducted and counted by TIM, elects Trent new leader, with Josh and Lorraine as deputy leaders. John and Liz agree to sit on the Supreme Council and return to limited active status. 170-PLOTS The mysterious stranger appears again, saving the satellite from a bomb planted by Daniel and undetected by TIM. To lift their spirits, Darren, Mike, Frasier, Brett, Danette, Kamandi, and Derek decide to have a picnic. Toby, visiting his parents in NY, is mugged. 171-REVELATIONS The picnic group are caught in a surprise time storm, unknown to the rest of the membership and end up God knows where. Toby awakes in the hospital with amnesia and no identification on him. Julia and Daniel launch a new attack plan of the TP but are stopped by the mysterious stranger. Jeff, on Earth, has yet another radiation attack. Daniel discovers Toby's amnesia. The members cannot locate either Toby or the picnic group, causing a great deal of worry. The mysterious stranger jaunts aboard the satellite and reveals his identity, which stuns everyone. It is Stephen Jamieson. NOTES ON SEASON SIX: Dion killed himself during February sweeps. A scientific explanation for this was not given but plans called for it to be revealed in season 8 (1989 to 1990). Daniel is evil because no mutation or evolution is every 100 right from a scientific viewpoint. Although John was going to be "recast" with actor Robert Torti---saner minds prevailed and John was still Nick Young. MY VIEWS: This is really the first truly strong season and much better than the awful 4 and 5. I still have trouble with killing people off for the sake of killing them off at the end of a "season" just to give the cliffhanger some danger. Deaths do make the universe a more dangerous, less mundane place in a series and this works to that effect, however to have it happen at the end of a "season" using a cliffhanger is just sometimes too boring, only to have all wrapped up neatly in the next season's opening. This reeks of nighttime soap junk like DYNASTY, FALCON CREST, and their awful spinoffs. At times, however, the format can work such as with the mysterious stranger and Daniel and the much better KNOT'S LANDING series can show. The ideas and casting here is much more inspired than in the past and the action moves better. Although I had some reservations about Jake and Josh, their addition is welcomed. An improvement all around.

An improvement all around. > I agree. This is what I first started being exposed too when several months after I paid for my membership, I slowly started getting bits an pieces of this and the forthcoming ''Season 9/10'',which consisted of short bits like this,with TC then begging others to finish the story,with his trademark ''hee hee'' added at the end. Naturally when I started writing and created my first character, he wrote back quickly telling me how much he was going to enjoy developing my character with me,and looking forward to my suggestions for ideas for this!! I had already plotted out a lengthy storyline,and while some suggestions were welcomed, I didnt need him to try to take my cahracter away from me and disregard my plotline,which was necessary for the charcter to work! THen he tole me he planned to ''balance'' my storyline by creating a simliar character who would've ruined my sotyline,and would've lessend the impact that I had planned. THis was normal for Tc as he had to be the mastermind of all aspects of all stories,and always added his name to the story,even as just the adapter or listed the author as a ''inspiration'' for the finished product.:P He didnt use my character and hopefuly not my idea,as we broke off relations at this point. Jeff ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- From: J2rider@aol.com Subject: TPFICT: tctp1-3 Date: 06 Apr 2000 18:02:35 EDT THE TP-original series-1974 to 1979 DREAMS OF DESTINY-1980 to 1981 (time change sometimes puts this later) JEDIKIAH'S REVENGE-movie-1982 ANIMATED TOMORROW PEOPLE-series-1982 1982 to 1983 1-INTRODUCTIONS Questor (John Stamos), an alien, discovers an underground group of telepaths living in London. He helps them with a mission and makes his friendly intentions clear as do they. This mission was to find out about a group of teen pickpockets who had stolen secret weaponry from a London armory. 2-BREAKOUT Stephen senses a new Tomorrow Person breaking out during a blizzard. An attempt to help almost has tragic results. Brian Robbins (Andrew Caravelli) breaks out. 3-FAR TO GO With Stephen and Tyso's help, Brian comes to terms with his new powers. Brian's first adventure ends up detecting a youngster with great potential. 11 year old Toby Llewellyn (Keith Mitchell) is this genius. 4-YOUNG BLOOD Toby is an 11 year old genius who breaks out. He instantly distrusts everybody. He and the others think he is the youngest to break out but they forgot Kenny really was. Younger Tp will break out within the next 8 years. 5-FIRE ONE Toby uses his new powers and his own genius, to reconstruct and remodel the TP HQ. In the process, we learn how TIM was created. 6-CALL FROM TIME Time Guardian Peter returns to the TP for help in containing a time warp he accidentally unleashed. This time warp was putting history 25 years too early, causing things to happen earlier than they should have. NOTE: This type of time warp would affect the Tp again in the future and more than once. In 1989, 1990, and 1991, a time warp rift (really due to creative differences between TC and myself) would make these years sort of blend into one long time. 7-LETTER FROM HELL College student now, Tyso is disturbed by telepathic emissions from occult experimentist Jani Thomas (Valerie Landsberg). An accident during a ceremony causes her to break out. 8-LOVE AT FIRST SIGHT Stephen and Jani fall in love as he trains her in the use of her newfound powers. 9-SECRET LIFE A bookwormish student with a secret partyloving side shows signs of breaking out but cannot be found when the time arrives. Julian "JJ" Tomie (Anthony Edwards) joins the TP. 10-MORDEU 30th century evil magician is accidentally released by Peter. Mordeu wants revenge on his foe Questor, who was responsible for his imprisonment. 11-MAGIC HATH FEW CHARMS Questor is captured by Mordeu. The Tp face defeat at the magician's hands. Mordeu destroys the most recent version of the Lab. It is alien Matthew Star (played by Peter Barton from the TV series THE POWERS OF MATTHEW STAR ) who comes up with a new solution that saves everyone. When Mordeu is entombed, he loses his powers. Mordeu is finally entombed on a distant planet. 12-DEADLY ACT A young aspiring actor is plagued by visions and voices of doom, sensing a neighbor's terrorist hostage taking plans. Tawny Callahan (Meeno Peluce, star of VOYAGERS!) breaks out. 13-THE CURSE OF THE SPIDRON Spidron escapes Galactic Prison, where Steen had managed to put him and returns to Earth for revenge on the TP. The Trig assisted construction on a specially designed hidden satellite, begins. Later this satellite will be named FUTURE ONE and will also be revealed to contain its own secrets such as being a rocket/star/space/time ship. 14-JOINT CUSTODY The TP risk contact with Earth governments to help stop a deadly new strain of flu accidentally unleashed by the CIA and the KGB. This virus was released when it was being tested by flushing sponges with the infection in them into several major systems of water plants on the US East Coast. 15-DOCTOR'S CHAIR A doctor finds out about the TP and tries to expose them after Brian reveals their secret while under hypnosis treatment for a football injury. This doctor vanishes before the TP can find him 16-MOVING IN The Tp move into their new satellite headquarters, hidden from Earth view by spectrashift. TIM, malfunctioning, goes berserk during transfer from Underground to the Satellite. 17-SEAVIEW ALiens invade Earth to build an undersea base that if completed would mean the destruction of half the Earth. This episode is based on DOCTOR WHO-WARRIORS OF THE DEEP. 18-CLASSIC CASE Jamie Parker (C Thomas Howell) is surprised to learn that he will eventually become a TP. Questor and TIM help Peter resolve a time flux. Questor came from the 27th Century. Peter and TIM were helping to try to work out a way to get Questor home. Although the time flux allowed Questor to come to the past--the Tp's present---and it was opened easily, there was virtually no way to recreate it to send Questor home. 19-FAMILY SECRETS Andrew's father is murdered! Seeking a reason, Andrew and the TP stumble upon a long forgotten family feud now involved with world security. 20-DETONATION Andrew's family feud heats up when his power hungry uncle seizes an atomic energy plant and threatens detonation if his demands for world power are not met. 21-TIME CROSS-A group of TP not involved with Andrew's family feud travel with Peter into the 23rd century to cure an illness which threatens all psi life. Barney Barton (Tim Topper) breaks out with Kevin Ankoris's (Billy Warlock of BAYWATCH season 1 and 2, DAYS OF OUR LIVES, and GENERAL HOSPITAL) help. NOTES ON SEASON ONE: Jamie and Kamandi, friends of QUESTOR, appear quite a bit on this first season of the new Tp. Andre Fleaurmer (Thelonius Bernard) and Kevin Ankoris (Billy Warlock) were Tp who broke out before this series began. Thus they broke out sometime between WAR OF THE EMPIRES and INTRODUCTIONS. This Lab was similar to the first Lab only larger and was protected by a spectrashift. TIM was located in a ceiling encasement, John having decided that the mobile version was too much trouble to maintain. although the network of tubing for TIM's biotronic fluids now encompassed the entire lab, including the individual's quarters. This lab was located somewhere near the vicinity of the original Lab, but built even farther down and further back than the Second Lab (THE LOST GODS) which was destroyed by Major Ann Turner and the SIS in 1981---which brings me to DREAMS OF DESTINY. DREAMS OF DESTINY by Dianne Elliot details what happens in the years 1980 to 1981 approximately although the constant time shifts that occur make WAR OF THE EMPIRES sometimes occur in 1980 or 1981 and DREAMS in 1981 to 1982. One bad move in that is the death of Hsue Tai. The satellite: A team of Trig engineers built it. It is in geosynchronious orbit 22,300 miles above Earth's surface over London, England. Time on the satellite is measure by Grennwich Mean Time, each individual member can adjust the environment of his or her quarters and the time within, to fit their own needs. The satellite started out as 12 decks large with more than enough space to accomodate the TP currently known and can be moved by means of a propulsion system to any location in the solar system. It is hidden from view of Earth by a spectrashift generator. Much of this would change over the years as the satellite was named later (FUTURE ONE) and would grow or expand and secrets within would be revealed. Matthew Star and Walt Sheppard appear from time to time. Also some episodes were crossovers with QUESTOR, a series about an alien. There were also crossovers with POWERS OF MATTHEW STAR. MY OWN COMMENTS: One can see both merit and confusion right from the beginning. The TP didn't need do crossover so blatantly with either QUESTOR or POWERS OF MATTHEW STAR. The overreliance on other characters made the TP more like THE X MEN, which sometimes worked and sometimes didn't. As time went on, this format faded but the TP never fully recovered. 1983 to 1984 22-MELTDOWN The Tp try to find a way to defeat Andrew's Uncle Richard. Gregg Martz (Kelly Hansen), One of Richard's hostages breaks out. Anderw dies to save the planet from certain destruction, using his telekinesis to contain the nuclear explosion. MY NOTES: In this controversial move, Andrew appears to die but is he really gone for good? Also didn't like his dad having to die also. A bad move for the series, I felt. 23-THE DECISION Stephen and Tyso decide to return to the Galactic corps after a couple of years back on Earth. Jani decides to stay behind. NOTE: This is the last episode where Brian is played by Andrew Caravelli, who passed away in a car accident. 24-SILENT NIGHT, JOBE NIGHT Jobe Arkensa becomes the first deaf Tomorrow Person. Brian is felled by a mysterious disease while at the Trig with Stephen and Tyso. NOTE: Brian is now played by Todd Porter of WHIZ KIDS. 25-BARTER FORTIME Andrea Barter (Lara Jill Miller) breaks out when she picks up telepathic impressions from Jobe who was the victim of a kidnapping, having witnessed a murder. Andrea manages to alert the Tp to his perilous predicament. 26-TIME TRAP Peter, trapped in the 21st Century, calls for help. A rescue attempt by the Tp fails. 27-LIVING LEGEND Zack finds Rabowski alive and teams up with the Tp to stop the time crossing monsters Rabowski has forced Peter to help him unleash. Rabowski had trapped Peter when Peter first found out Rabowski was still alive. The first team sent to find Peter was captured and had to be rescued by a second team when Rabowski made his way to the 20th Century. Zack (Lee Curreri of FAME), a Time Guardian, teamed up with Toby to create a convection, returning the monsters to the time where they were originally taken from. 28-SEEING DOUBLE Ricky Johnson (Adam Rich of EIGHT IS ENOUGH) breaks out, going insane in the process as the TP try to stop the disasters being caused b Ricky while in pain. TIM manages to heal the mental injuries and Ricky joins the TP. 29-THE SEARCH Jamie asks for help in locating Questor, who has disappeared. Dr. Allenton is holding Questor prisoner and the Tp must find a way to save him without revealing their existence to him. 30-SEARCH CAREFULLY Kevin infiltrates Allenton's headquarters where he finds Allenton's unknowing assistant, Barb Jansen (Amy Steele from FRIDAY THE 13TH PART 2 and POWERS OF MATTHEW STAR), on the verge of breaking out. Kevin and Barb help restore Questor's memory and all escape, leaving behind a stunned Allenton. 31-SKATING ON THIN ICE Barney goes undercover to help with the breakout of Olympic skater Kevin Holt (Pat Talkington), which TIM believes will be a difficult breakout. NOTE: We now have two Kevin's--Kevin Holt; and Kevin Ankoris (Billy Warlock). This is the first of several bad decisions by TC. 32-STAR LIGHT, STAR BRIGHT Andre and Matthew Star investigate a friend under suspicion of drug dealing. They stumble onto an assassination plot innocently involving their friend. NOTE: Walt Sheppard (Lou Gossett Jr) , Matthew's mentor is a semi regular on the show now. 33-POINT OF NO RETURN Tikno asks the TP to help him free the natives of planet Sharonna from a non psi dictator. The plan fails, but Mike Bell, Barney, Barb, Tawny, and JJ remain behind to continue the fight. NOTE: the first of many ill fated spin offs of the kind TC liked to do. Some of them worked but for the most part they were pretty awful. 34-DISSOLUTION TIM's essence is accidentally stolen by computer hacker and aspiring musician Terry Keller (Michael Damian of some soap opera), who then breaks out. The Tp must find TIM and assist Terry without his aid. John, seeing the group continue to grow and mature, decides to permanently join Heather and Amanda at the Trig, where they were sent during the KGB virus outbreak. NOTE: Another bad move, moving John to the Trig. This had to be done to incorporate Heather and Amanda, Dianne's characters from DREAMS OF DESTINY into this TC universe. TC had storylines that did not include these two great characters since he found out about them after he plotted so many stories. To fit them in later on (a good move as they were the best thing about this series), he moved John and the two of them to the Trig. 35-NEW RULER Elizabeth M'Bondo assumes the mantle of leadership. Brian, still weakened by his battle with the VSR virus, returns to Earth feeling inferior, helpless and altered. 36-SOLO STAR Brian goes on a deadly mission without informing the others to prove himself still worthy of being a TP and is nearly killed in an accident. 37-JOYCE'S WORLD Snobbish teen Joyce Feinstein (Alison Finte) begins to break out but runs from all attempts of help that the TP offer. 38-THE TOBY FACTOR A mysterious malady fells Toby while TIM is offline. Liz isn't sure that Toby can be saved without help from the massive biocomputer TIM but help from the Trig doctor M'Pongold, a very alien doctor, arrives at the last moment. M'Pongold is not humanoid. 39-SECRETS Jamie feels left out when Questor goes on a secret mission for the TP. Jamie breaks out following an accident at school caused by his distraction over the situation. 40-HEARTACHES Jamie feels betrayed by Questor, who only wants to shelter his friend from the troubles of the world. Their strained relationship is mended with help from Terry and TIM. NOTE: It starts to get more and more like a soap opera and not much happens per episode at this point. TC felt the TP became a community ala KNOT'S LANDING and this shows...badly. 41-THE FERRERI Renaldo Ferreri (Tony La Torre) is the orphaned son of a former circus act is kidnaped from his guardians, the owner of the circus, where his fear triggers his breakout. A telepathic cry for help alerts Terry, who goes to his rescue but almost not in time. Renaldo joins the TP. 42-CRY FOR HELP Renaldo discovers an extra power. Hit by a laser the first time he jaunts, Renaldo breaks out fully. He can shoot lasers from his fingertips---absorbing energy. 43-THE "DEATH" OF RICKY Ricky is seemingly killed in an auto accident but the Tp pick up on faint traces of memories, prompting them to believe something strange is going on. An enemy of Ricky's discovered his powers and had him kidnaped for his own purposes. 44-SUSPICION Jobe is arrested for burglary, not knowing he was framed by a friend. The Tp try to find a way to clear the young man without revealing their existence. 45-GUILTY UNTIL PROVEN INNOCENT The Tp discover Jobe's legal counsel is a fake while discovering the counsel's secretary, Felice Akers (Connie Needham), is ready to break out. Andre pulls a stunt in court that clears Jobe and reveals the real culprit. 46-THE PARADE On Earth for some time off, Stephen and Tyso pick up images of an invasion, which is confirmed by Ambassador Kolar (John Colicos of BATTLESTAR GALACTICA). This invasion will later prove to be an invasion from Tharga. 47-THE TIME IS HERE Zack comes in search of Peter, who disappeared during their most recent mission. 48-SCENES FROM THE END OF SPACE Brian picks up images of Hsui Tai and Andrew, who were both thought long (?) dead. No explanation can be found except that maybe Brian is going crazy. Brian's visions are found out to be projections, coming from a Thargon agent. NOTE: Despite this, Andrew and Hsui Tai live on in some form. This will be revealed in the future. 49-THE WEDDING ROYALE Stephan and Jani's wedding is wonderful until a feared Thargon invasion begins. This puts the TP into action. 50-FINAL VOWS The Tp must secretly save Earth from the Thargon invasion. Major space battles inflict great damage on the satellite. A stray phaser bolt from a passing Thargon ship hits Jani, who lives her final moments in Stephen's arms. The others manage to defeat the invading army. 51-PARALYSIS OF DOOM Renaldo's powers suddenly begin to fail, causing him to be injured in a jaunting accident, perhaps fatally. The Tp suffer a slowing of their powers. The still training Felice dies suddenly, prompting a few tests and a lot of worry---have the Tp suddenly begun to devolve? Later in the next episode we find that the real culprit was a small virus that affected only TP. Toby develops a cure, given to all Tp when they break out, one dose for life. NOTES ON SEASON TWO: While Andrew Caravelli was 19 when he played Brian, Todd Porter who replaced him was 17. Some stories remained self contained while others took several weeks to resolve. The series thus took on a semi continuing format. Several episodes were crossovers with QUESTOR as happened in the first season. Three spinoffs appear this season and intermingle with the main show, often starting out on the main TP show. STEPHEN AND TYSO, TIME GATE, and POINT OF NO RETURN begin. John is written out (always a bad move) following the mid season start of POINT OF NO RETURN. He began to return from time to time before fully returning (thankfully) in the 1988 to 1989 season. There were also more crossovers with THE NEW ADVENTURES OF MATTHEW STAR and QUESTOR. SPINOFF CHECK: STEPHEN AND TYSO season one TIMEGATE season one POINT OF NO RETURN season one MOVIE: RETURN OF THE DOOMSDAY MEN 1984-1985 52-THE RUSSIAN CONNECTION Endrei Komorov (Ron Claver), the first Russian TP undetected by the KGB, breaks out. Renaldo recovers from his accident. Toby and TIM, working together, find the answer to the sudden weakness that affected Renaldo and Felice. Felice has died. The culprit is a small virus that affects only TP. Toby develops a cure that is given to all TP when they break out, one dose for life. Brian decides to join Stephen and Tyso at the Trig. 53-AMERICAN EXPRESS Endrei, worried about his family in the USSR, disobeys orders and returns home, only to be captured by the KGB. Toby, making a new orientation machine, picks up a teenager in agony. Tony Le Blanc (John P Navin, Jr) breaks out. 54-RESCUE TESTING Kevin and Terry launch a rescue attempt for Endrei. College student Darren Solquist (Simon Beal) breaks out during a test for ESP. Tony attends a beauty contest. 55-BEAUTIFUL BOMBSHELL A beauty contest contestant is targeted for murder. With Tony and Renny's help, Jillian Vontz (Dara Sedaka) breaks out after escaping harm. Major Hughes contacts Liz about Endrei. Hughes blames Endrei for espionage. 56-WHEN ARE WE NOW Terry and Renaldo find an abandoned mummy at the circus, accidentally bringing its curse to life, opening a time warp. The time storm sends Renny and Terry through time but all within a couple of years of where they then were. The Tp had to find a way to get them out of the storm and stop it, which they did by releasing a load of magnetic energy into it. Peter comes to the rescue to prevent Earth from being engulfed into the time storm. 57-GROWN GERMAN Greta Hoffman (Danielle Von Zerneck of TABLE FOR FIVE), daughter of the German ambassador, and a friend of Tony's, breaks out during a state reception, endangering the secret of the TP. 58-VANISHING TACT Stephen and Tyso contact Liz for assistance on a diplomatic mission. Driadnai Amindi (Tom Citera--Hash in UP THE ACADEMY), the son of a wealthy Arab shiek, suddenly disappears in front of his father and several witnesses. 59-RICH IN SOUL Dri becomes a full fledged TP afer an unintentional goose chase while jaunting out of control. Kevin and Ricky vie for Andrea's affection. 60-THE DARKHORSE Evan Darkhorse (Carmen Santa Maria) becomes the first Native American TP when he breaks out following a climbing accident during his test of manhood. Jamie finds a secret passageway in his school, which leads into a deadly trap. NOTE: Evan's breakout is based on STAR TREK ANIMATED-YESTERYEAR!?! 61-SCHOOL DAZE Jamie, being held captive by Dr. Allenton, tries to contact TIM but instead makes contact with a teacher's daughter on the verge of breaking out. Julianne Andretti (Stacy Nelkin) tells the Tp how she broke out, leading to Jamie's rescue. 62-FLASHBACK Liz and Toby recount Tp history for new members Darren, Jillian, Evan, Dri, Greta, and Julianne, using mentally recorded highlights of past adventures. This is basically a cheater episode using clips from past shows--and as such, it sucks big time. 63-STROKE OF GENIUS Brilliant high school senior Dion Suttor (Christoff St John from some soap opera) mistakes his breakout for the beginnings of a stroke and treats himself from his doctor father's medicine supply, causing him to overdose on pain killers. Darren picks up impressions of sinking spirits, leading to Dion's rescue. 64-PROFESSOR CAWSTON, I PRESUME John, on holiday from the Trig, goes with Liz to see Professor George Cawston. When he turns up missing, it is discovered that he has been kidnaped by his niece, Heidi Brandt (Lisa Turner) . 65-WIPEOUT It is learned that Heidi, while in the process of breaking out, picked up her uncle's memories of the TP. She kidnaped him for his help but accidentally damaged his memory in the process of probing his mind. 66-REMBRANCES OF THINGS PRESENT Called on by the Tp to help restore Cawston's memory, his lab assistant Sabrina Tolliver (Wanda Johnson) is so shocked, it triggers her break out. 67-VIBRATION THERAPY Toby, Terry, Gregg, and TIM come up with a dangerous plan to restore Cawston's memory, knowing it could kill any or all of them. The plan involved TK to vibrate the brain, while trying to telepathically locate the cause of the amnesia. It worked but since the vibrations were similar to tuning forks, it was very dangerous. 68-SECOND CHANCES Kevin wins Andrea's hand. Ricky, feeling rejected, disappears. Dion tries to follow Ricky to try and comfort him. Cawston's memory is 100 percent restored. 69-MASTER'S HEIR Cawston receives a phony distress call from the Tp asking for his help. It is actually a trap set up by the son of Colonel Masters, who is out to avenge his father's murder. This appears to be one of Colonel Masters' sons, possibly Micheal Masters. 70-QUAKE SCENE Zack alerst the TP to vibrations in the Earth's time flow. Toby detects an unusual seismic pattern near New York. Glenna Sequas (Cythnia Gibb) , a fast rising soap star, is experiencing severe headaches. 71-AN EVER GROWING PATTERN Glenna breaks out, causing an earthquake in New York City.

Questor and Jamie help the Overmind team race to find the cause and an antidote. Jamie helps Questor and begins to try to fulfill his dream of being a success on Broadway without using his powers. 74-CURE ALL Questor risks his life to find Tyso, who disappeared while on a search for the antidote.

Peter and Zack disappear while in communcation with the TP. Evergreen sees the devil again. Stephen and Hawk investigate a distress call. 76-DEADLY SUPRISE The distress call turns out to be a phony. Stephen, Hawk, Evergreen, Peter and Zack are al the prisoners of a mysterious captor. Tyso sees Mike in danger and calls the planet Sharonna to alert him. 77-INVISIBLE MOTIVE The Sharonna group returns to Earth with natives Dreidal (Dweezil Zappa) and Adrianna (Erin Moran) in tow. Liz worries about what happened to the missing TP and friends. Driadnai, Greta, and Gregg join the missing list. Liz contacts John for advice. 78-PAPER IN FIRE Questor, called by Brian for a meeting, witnesses the young TP's abduction. Toby discovers that the time flux now threatens Earth's very existence. Barney and Dreidal disappear from the satellite. 79-AND GOD CREATED CHAOS The kidnappings of the Tp and their friends are discovered to have been engineered by a still living Jedikiah (Francis DeWolf), who reveals his is working for an all powerful entity who will stop all time on Earth unless the TP agree to help him gain universal domination and control over all time and space. 80-DETRON Aided by Jedikiah, Detron plans to wreak havor throughout the entire boundaries of space and time, as the still active members rush to find a solution to stopping him, to no avail. 81-THE LAST BLACK DAY Detron begins his destruction palns, beginning with present day Earth. Jedikiah taunts the Tp, who are all captured in one stroke of Detron's might. The united Tp and friends hatch a deadly and sacrificial plan to save all time and space from massive destruction. Frasier McCollough (Alasdair Cumming, Colin in DOCTOR WHO-ARC OF INFINITY), a young Australian college student, runs from his family home in fear when Detron randomly attacks it and him. Detron now controls all time and space around Earth and begins hungering for more. NOTES ON SEASON THREE The character of Kevin Ankoris (Billy Warlock) seems to have just vanished from the show. Jamie appears as a full time regular. The stories become fully continuing. QUESTOR crossovers were involved. The spinoff characters return for this season. A massive death occurs as a result of the battle with Jedikiah and Detron. MY NOTES: Not terrible but too many breakouts and the soap format hurt the overall effect of the show. Way too many characters and too many breakouts happening right on top of each other. Not bad but not very good either. The crossovers at this point were an inspired idea but having them crossover so much was not very cool. I wouldn't mind the original series characters Mike Bell, Stephen Jamieson, and Tyso Bozewell returning from their spinoffs but we also get a major influx of characters we don't really care about. SPINOFF CHECKLIST: STEPHEN AND TYSO season two TIME GATE season two POINT OF NO RETURN season two GROUND ZERO season one-Spring of 1985 1985-1986 82-FEAR OF FLYING Detron is defied b a group of the Tp and Hawk. Detron threatens to destroy Earth. Peter, Zack, and Brian put their plan into action. Jedikiah is killed (again). The last ditch effort succeeds in getting rid of Detron but at the highest cost possible: Brian, Gregg, Sabrina, Tony, Julianna, Greta, and Jobe perish while Hawk and Toby are critically injured and the inside of the satellite is destroyed. Ricky, Heidi, and Glenna, seeing the destruction, decide to quit active membership. The plan was to use a massive bolt of psychic energy but those who channeled the energy had to actually touch Detron to deliver it. Jedikiah was seemingly killed in the backlash of energy, the same backlash that while getting Detron put away, killed many TP. 83-AUSSIE IN THE OUTBACK Stephen and the Overmind Group return to their headquarters to seek help for Hawk. Toby begins a slow recovery. Dion and Liz discover Frasier breaking out and in need of help. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- From: J2rider@aol.com Subject: Re: OT TPFICT: tctp6 Date: 06 Apr 2000 18:03:38 EDT 1987-1988 142-CHOICES Jesse gets stuck in a hole, it was too small for his larger body.

Trent considers Julia's offer. Julia's terms: Trent accompany the twins to help with her research. Dion takes care of some personal affairs. Evan pushes for Dion's impeachment. Trent and Toby decide to agree to Julia's terms to save the twins. Trent agreed but only because he knew if he didn't, there was no other way to save the twins. He later found out he was wrong. Trent and the Twins leave to join Julia, who, to Daniel's consternation, keeps her end of the bargain, as Trent does his. 161-LIFE AND DEATH Dion returns from visiting his family and shocks everyone by tendering his resignation as leader. The members see Dion's turmoil and wonder if they have been doing the right thing. Evan tries to get through to Dion. A horrified Evan listens to Dion's ramblings, as he realizes what Dion has planned just seconds too late. Dion blew his brains out with a 44 caliber pistol, with Evan looking on, too stunned to react soon enough. 162-WHY ARE WE HERE?

Jeb's real father is dead and his real mother remarried a scuzball who is after her money. The Athertons are worth 150 million. 167-HAUNTING MEMORIES The Tp are successful in saving Jeb, who is stunned by Toby's news. Andreas informs the membership of his decision, which does not sit well. John and Liz form a new leadership plan for the TP. 168-PHANTOMS Josh, Jake, and Tina are saved from a trap set by Julia by a mysterious stranger who seems to know all about them. John and Liz present their leadership plan to the full membership, which readily accepts it. A young orphan named Max Manchester (Sunny Besen Thrasher), also a genius, age 12, breaks out with help from Toby. 169-SUPREME COUNCIL The membership begin deciding on who should be a part of the new Supreme Council.

To lift their spirits, Darren, Mike, Frasier, Brett, Danette, Kamandi, and Derek decide to have a picnic. Toby, visiting his parents in NY, is mugged. 171-REVELATIONS The picnic group are caught in a surprise time storm, unknown to the rest of the membership and end up God knows where. Toby awakes in the hospital with amnesia and no identification on him. Julia and Daniel launch a new attack plan of the TP but are stopped by the mysterious stranger. Jeff, on Earth, has yet another radiation attack. Daniel discovers Toby's amnesia. The members cannot locate either Toby or the picnic group, causing a great deal of worry. The mysterious stranger jaunts aboard the satellite and reveals his identity, which stuns everyone. It is Stephen Jamieson. NOTES ON SEASON SIX: Dion killed himself during February sweeps. A scientific explanation for this was not given but plans called for it to be revealed in season 8 (1989 to 1990). Daniel is evil because no mutation or evolution is every 100 right from a scientific viewpoint. Although John was going to be "recast" with actor Robert Torti---saner minds prevailed and John was still Nick Young. MY VIEWS: This is really the first truly strong season and much better than the awful 4 and 5. I still have trouble with killing people off for the sake of killing them off at the end of a "season" just to give the cliffhanger some danger. Deaths do make the universe a more dangerous, less mundane place in a series and this works to that effect, however to have it happen at the end of a "season" using a cliffhanger is just sometimes too boring, only to have all wrapped up neatly in the next season's opening. This reeks of nighttime soap junk like DYNASTY, FALCON CREST, and their awful spinoffs. At times, however, the format can work such as with the mysterious stranger and Daniel and the much better KNOT'S LANDING series can show. The ideas and casting here is much more inspired than in the past and the action moves better. Although I had some reservations about Jake and Josh, their addition is welcomed. An improvement all around.

NOTES ON SEASON 7: A little boy named Mikey Kevin Holt, played by Christopher Finefrock is also in this season. He is the child of TP Kevin Holt and Tp Andrea Barter. Rob Stone and Jeff were written out after 11 episodes (a bad move). Credits altered accordingly each season. Jeff contracted AIDS through a blood transfusion. Characters from STEPHEN AND TYSO reoccur. Andreas Kozloswki played by Jonathan Aluzis moved to the spinoff STAR FRONTIERS at midseason. LATE NIGHT WITH DAVID LETTERMAN also had David, Calvert Deforrest, Paul Shaffer, Will Lee, and Jack Hanna appearing as themselves, another really boring idea. Carol appears for three appearances. SPINOFF CHECKLIST: STAR FRONTIERS season two TIMELOST season one CROSSOVERS with BEAUTY AND THE BEAST and DAVID LETTERMAN. MY VIEWS ON THIS SEASON AND TC'S RIPOFFS: Okay here is where TC really started to shine as well as piss me off. Dianne's excellent characters and contributions excelled this series from the so-so often garbage that it was to a major entertaining event each week. Dianne, who received no credit for her story lines and contributions as well as for her characters, is always the best and is always entertaining and fun. In addition, I became really angry at TC for his rip offs. At the time he made up season 7, I and Dianne had pitched several characters independent of each other. What TC would do is take a character, say for example, a 13 year old street boy that I made up. He would then take the background, change it A LITTLE and change the age to perhaps a 17 year old character. He would then introduce HIS character with the 17 year old age and the same background as the one I made up and perhaps change the country or the state that the character I made up came from. He would introduce this character EARLIER than he would introduce my charactor. Now I proposed this NYC street hustler boy and he introduced his 17 year old from some other state who found his way to NYC earlier. He also began to do this here, this season. For instance, Max, a characater who wasn't going anywhere. Max suddenly found his parents were old time characters Evergreen and Paul. Well, Dianne already had pitched Mike Bell's illegimate son Quince to TC. Quince, a great character (Christian Bale) is introduced in season 8, not 7. TC did this again and again. I also made my NYC hustler a forerunner of the Time Guardians via a THIRD BREAKOUT. You can see where this was used in Cesee, TC's earlier character. I also made use of a very young breakout about the age of 5 who was deaf and couldn't talk. Well this character would interact kindly and angelically with all the characters including the bad guys. TC then took Mikey and reintroduced him to the show just to do the same thing. This hijacking didn't restrict itself to just the character but to the ACTORS and CASTING IDEAS as well as the storylines. It is a shame TC felt he had to do this for some of his stuff this season showed greatness above and beyond all he had done before. The Soggoth stuff, despite the slowness of coming, was really quite good. The BAD: a crossover with BEAUTY AND THE BEAST. It seemed unneeded. I like BEAUTY AND THE BEAST a great deal but this story, a typical trial frame up story, didn't need Catherine to be in it. Later, I suggested a FRIDAY THE 13TH THE SERIES character, the newly young Ryan (now either 9 or 11) breakout and low and behold in season 9, there was a FRIDAY THE 13TH crossover which TC took credit for. TC was NEVER any good at naming characters: he took names of actors, sometimes the actors who played them and made those the names. WORSE: he took names of already existing characters and used them again! Thus we had two or three Kevins, at least two CCs, and now he makes a Peter arrive. Well, Peter was a Time Guardian. Later we will get a Marco and a Marcus, two different characters who break out almost at the same time, and a villain named Corey while we had a Kory or Cory already as a hero. This kind of confusion could have been avoided but wasn't. Another problem I had was with the books themselves: the first book in particular just hinted at what happened. I had to dig and ask and ask and ask to find out Max's parent's identities. You won't find it in the first book. There are also many other things that I had to find out and many which I will never which the books just hint at but don't fully explain. Later books were better at giving us more details. I constantly told him this was needed and he revised the format due to my detailed criticisms and advice. I am still pissed that his hidden seasons 10, 11 and 12 were not given to me. I can only guess at what he ripped off of me without giving me any credit. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- From: J2rider@aol.com Subject: TPFICT: tctp5 Date: 06 Apr 2000 18:04:10 EDT 1986-1987 Becomes 90 Minutes (previous episodes were one hour) 112-OUT OF CONTROL Toby regains consciousness in time to save the satellite, but not Kevin.

Darren and Frasier escape from their street gang captors but Jesse gets stuck and is recaptured. NOTES ON SEASON FIVE: Actor Pat Talkington who played Kevin Holt was killed in a car accident, thus his character was supposed to have Kevin turn up missing but return early on. Lara Jill Miller's character was supposed to stay but the passing of Pat made her ask to leave. Michael Cerveris replaced Mike Holloway as Mike Bell. WHY? This was one of the worst of many bad moves by TC. And for no apparent reason. Christoff St John (playing Dion) became Kristoff St John. Keith Mitchell took on the name Keith Coogan (playing Toby). Toby fixed TIM and expanded him all over the satellite. His personality was given an overhaul as well and his voice became that of Vincent Price. As much as I like Price, this was yet another bad move in a series of bad moves. The 90 minute format seemed un-needed as not much continued to happen via each episode. Jeff Martin, a pivotal character for this season and the season to follow, was, in the first book, barely mentioned as breaking out. He also appeared in season four but was just briefly referred to as being in trouble! Anyway, Jeff broke out but knew Chip for a long time and was a lifelong friend. Jeff apparently broke out in early September of 1986.

OKAY WHAT'S UP NOTE: What the hell is this, a soap opera? It has turned the TP into total soap and it's really mediocre. Not only that but does one get the idea that these little blurbs can only add up to about 15 minutes of so called adventure? 105-FIRE AND WATER Toby detects a radiation cloud drifting towards Earth. Elizabeth accepts Gary's marriage proposal. Chip's lifelong best friend is showing signs of being in trouble. 106-UNUSUAL ACTIVITY Endrei notes an increase of activity on the Russian space station. Toby and Liz fear detection by the Soviets, who may be worried that they are working for the CIA. The CIA can no longer prove the TP's existence but are now fully aware of the TP. Jesse helps out with earthquake victims near his home. 107-THERE'S A SUCKER BORN EVERY MINUTE The radiation cloud is approaching Mars, coming ever closer to Earth. Terry confesses his love to Julia by proposing to her. Toby and Danette try a first date. 108-GEIGER COUNTER Terry awaits Julia's answer, hoping that their 15 year age difference won't matter to her. Toby sends Zeke and Evan to investigate the radiation cloud, who could bring back bad news---if it gets too close to Earth, it will destroy all life. 109-PLAN OF REACTION The cloud is now only two weeks from Earth and definitely deadly. Toby develops a plan to absorb the cloud as an energy source. Terry goes to Julia's home for an answer to his proposal. 110-ABSOLUTION The radiation cloud is almost upon Earth, while Toby works to build a containment device of some kind. Julia reveals her true motives, trapping a heartbroken Terry and confessing her shockingly extensive knowledge of the TP. 111-FREE FALL Renny and Frasier investigate Terry's disappearance. Julia claims not to have seen him recently. A captive Terry tries desperately to call for help. Toby's absorption and containment enclosure malfunctions as the radiation cloud envelops the satellite. Liz, on Earth, prepares for her wedding. TIM, overloaded by the information from the cloud explodes, injuring Toby, Kevin, and Lorraine. Without help from TIM, the satellite's orbit begins to decay. NOTES ON SEASON FOUR: Liz will retire next season. Phillip Gilbert as the voice of TIM will retire next season but Vincent Price will take over TIM's voice. MY OWN NOTES: Oh boy, the real rot sets in. Okay, I can see that if you enjoy the characters, you can enjoy a particular story line. The stories are driven only by the characters and many of them are not interesting or fleshed out in any way, thus, the stories are mundane, something the TP should never be. I also tend to see what I never noticed until writing this: the worst aspects of DOCTOR WHO's later seasons began to influence TC: we have a regular villain and deaths thrown in for deaths' sakes. Not a good way to write. On top of that, we continue to get the encroaching soap continuation aspect, which only hurt this writer and this once promising show. This season the characters that break out are even more shallow than the previous ones, many of the best ones having been killed off at the start of this "season." The stretched out story lines only make things worse and this season can probably be told as one four hour mini series and even that would be putting stress on the narrative. In addition to all of this mess, TC's spinoffs are not listed in the correct years in book one and book three--one might be correct and the other might not. Some in Book One have overlapping years and others are not listed in the third book.

"Come, come luv," he gently grasped her by the arm and tenderly escorted = her out. "We'll nip down to the canteen for a cuppa." [We've been in this observation bubble for three days!] Gazel complained = as she stretched the kinks out of her legs. [I wonder what's going on = back home?] [Same old, same old,] Tam wearily put in.

[Hey, look at the odd green line on the tiny screen,] A'ky'to shifted = closer. [On that device in the corner, I wonder what that flat line = means?] The heart monitor was screaming. A calm nursing sister's voice announced = a Blue Call in Room 222 over the intercom. "Johnny!" his mum called as a = team of cardiac specialists bustled through shoving an unwieldy cart = before them. "That's my baby in there! David, what's going on??" Gazel, A'ky'to and Tam, all winced when they saw the comatose John = violently jerk from the harsh current those platter things delivered to = his bared chest. When the defibrillator failed, they did all sorts of = unpleasant things to him, such as ram a thick tube down his throat, and = inject drugs through huge needles. [He did survive this?] A'ky'to sniffled. [He did,] Gazel held herself. [I want to be a doctor, but I couldn't do = that!] [This all happened, last century,] Tam reminded them, quietly. [In one = of their hospitals!] [If I could only stir my spirits, just once more!] an Elder's invocation = broke through her steely barriers. [Dad --- go to him, please!!] [Did you sense that??] Gazel quizzed her friends. [That's an Elder or ---] Tam cringed, before probing the bubble's ether. [A Time Guardian,] A'ky'to finished, screwing down his own barriers = tight. [Now what do we do??] John awoke very slowly. An aching jumble of dream images, largely of a = hippie insisting that he had broken out, haunted his throbbing skull. A = vile medicinal paste coated his dry mouth. His throat was unbelievably = sore. The retched rawness only intensified down into his chest. For = several seconds he blankly stared at the bruising and welts across his = ribs, wondering how Rowls managed to pummel him that badly. Then he = realized the absolute worst insult. He was wearing his best pajamas, and = that someone had ripped every button off of the shirt. Groaning, he = could imagine his mum's scolding tone --- "Where am I?" he asked, when = he opened his eyes. Closing his eyes, John tried to recall what happened. What happened at = the bus stop was crystal, as well as that chase into the alley, and = Rowls beating him. A nagging feeling opened, that he had been in the = hospital. That would explain the pajamas and the tingling pricks over = his arms. "Where am I?" he repeated louder, bracing himself to stand. However, his watery legs would not support his weight on this strange = giving surface. John only managed to stand half way, before sliding back = as limply as a rag doll. The floor was as soft and giving as flannel, = but he could not place the color or even pattern of colors. An entire = spectrum flowed over the walls, floor and ceiling, like something out of = an addict's bad trip. "HEY!" John impatiently shouted. "WHERE AM I??" [John's awake,] a bodiless voice observed. [That's good,] that one sounded like a little boy. "Where --- who are you?" John huffily demanded. [But now, what do we do?] a third child, slightly older than the second = inquired. [The Guardian must have brought him to us, but she has not shown her = hand,] the girl said worriedly. "Look, please, who ever you are ---" John began to reason. [Yet, she's still within the bubble, somewhere,] the little boy stated. "Could you please answer," John pressed his voice, growing tighter with = each syllable. [Time Guardians can be ---] "[A COUPLE OF MY QUESTIONS?!]" John loudly interrupted again, this time = mentally as well, without realizing it. [What do we do about John Fairchild?] the older boy asked. John's anger was replaced by doubt, for now he began to think that he = was nothing more than a troublesome prisoner. [Well ---] the girl paused. [The records do not show how John came to = accept and use his powers...] [You mean --- teach him??] the second boy sounded particularly dubious. = [That's against every ---] "What are you three on about?!" John snapped, with his hands on his = hips. [Oh dear, he's getting upset,] the girl began. [I guess I would too, if I only understood every fourth or fifth word,] = the youngest of the trio sounded sympathetic. "[I can understand you three, perfectly well!]" John hotly defended, = still not realizing what he was capable of. His young jailers fell quiet. [Let's try something. ARE - YOU - = HUNGRY,-- SIR?] each word was carefully pronounced, as if he was a = toddler. John puzzled that through. "Yes, I'm a bit hungry, but I would like some = water please," he replied. [Did you pick that up?] the girl asked. [No---] "[LOOK, I AM GETTING SICK AND TRIED OF THIS LITTLE CHARADE, YOU THREE!]" = John lashed out through his brain and his tongue. [I heard that!] the oldest boy sounded satisfied. [He is also projecting his emotions,] the girl muttered. [ER, -- JOHN,-- = WOULD - YOU - LIKE - SOMETHING - TO - EAT? Again with the baby slow pace. "[IF - YOU - DON'T - MIND!]" John mocked = her phrasing and tone. To himself he added, [This has got to be hell!] [JOHN, -- SIR.] the little boy copied his friend. [YOU - ARE - NOT - IN = - HELL, -- SIR. YOU - ARE - NOT - EVEN - DEAD!] John groaned, dropping his head into his fingertips. "MAY I PLEASE HAVE = SOME WATER?! My throat is getting bloody parched!" he said that aloud, = only. A glass of water materialized beside his left hand, without him = witnessing it. Feeling the cool, damp against his skin, John simply = grabbed the glass, and downed it, spilling half of it. "[Thank you,]" he = replied quietly, thinking as he turned the glass over in his fingers. = "[YOU - THREE WANT - ME - TO- DO - SOME-THING!?]" he loudly announced. [John is trying!] the girl was pleased. [YES! John ---] their voices blended eerily. [WE - WANT - YOU - TO - = TEL-E-PATH!!] John rudely snorted. "[Now, that's impossible!! The human brain is = simply incapable of receiving or sending supposed bio-electronic = pulses---]" His unseen tormentors were giggling. "[Hey! That's true! Furthermore, = nervous tissue could not withstand the rapid build up and break down of = toxins ---]" Their rolls of sparkling laughter threatened to become infectious. = "[Now, wait a minute!]" John finally gained his footing, pacing, = telepathing and speaking like a riled college professor. "[Biomechanics = as applied to something as fantastic as Telepathy IS - NOT - FUNNY!!]" [It is when you telepath it, Sir!] the youngest chimed. John squeaked behind his finger, trying not to laugh in either manner. = [Can there really be such a thing as telepathy?] John puzzled, he hoped = to himself, rubbing his jaw in thought. [Am I really a telepath??] [I think he's ready,] her telepathy came across feathery and soft as a = whisper. "[For what?]" John tensed. ------=_NextPart_000_0004_01BFA318.20A52660 Content-Type: text/html; charset="iso-8859-1" Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable

Gazel, A'ky'to and Tam, all winced when they saw the comatose John = violently=20 jerk from the harsh current those platter things delivered to his bared = chest.=20 When the defibrillator failed, they did all sorts of unpleasant things = to him,=20 such as ram a thick tube down his throat, and inject drugs through huge=20 needles.

[He did survive this?] A'ky'to sniffled.

[He did,] Gazel held herself. [I want to be a doctor, but I couldn't = do=20 that!]

[This all happened, last century,] Tam reminded them, quietly. [In = one of=20 their hospitals!]

[If I could only stir my spirits, just once more!] an Elder's = invocation=20 broke through her steely barriers. [Dad --- go to him, please!!]

[Did you sense that??] Gazel quizzed her friends.

[That's an Elder or ---] Tam cringed, before probing the bubble's = ether.

[A Time Guardian,] A'ky'to finished, screwing down his own barriers = tight.=20 [Now what do we do??]

John awoke very slowly. An aching jumble of dream images, largely of = a hippie=20 insisting that he had broken out, haunted his throbbing skull. A vile = medicinal=20 paste coated his dry mouth. His throat was unbelievably sore. The = retched=20 rawness only intensified down into his chest. For several seconds he = blankly=20 stared at the bruising and welts across his ribs, wondering how Rowls = managed to=20 pummel him that badly. Then he realized the absolute worst insult. He = was=20 wearing his best pajamas, and that someone had ripped every button off = of the=20 shirt. Groaning, he could imagine his mum's scolding tone --- = "Where am=20 I?" he asked, when he opened his eyes.

Closing his eyes, John tried to recall what happened. What happened = at the=20 bus stop was crystal, as well as that chase into the alley, and Rowls = beating=20 him. A nagging feeling opened, that he had been in the hospital. That = would=20 explain the pajamas and the tingling pricks over his arms. "Where = am=20 I?" he repeated louder, bracing himself to stand.

However, his watery legs would not support his weight on this strange = giving=20 surface. John only managed to stand half way, before sliding back as = limply as a=20 rag doll. The floor was as soft and giving as flannel, but he could not = place=20 the color or even pattern of colors. An entire spectrum flowed over the = walls,=20 floor and ceiling, like something out of an addict's bad trip. = "HEY!"=20 John impatiently shouted. "WHERE AM I??"

[John's awake,] a bodiless voice observed.

[That's good,] that one sounded like a little boy.

"Where --- who are you?" John huffily demanded.

[But now, what do we do?] a third child, slightly older than the = second=20 inquired.

[The Guardian must have brought him to us, but she has not shown her = hand,]=20 the girl said worriedly.

"Look, please, who ever you are ---" John began to = reason.

[Yet, she's still within the bubble, somewhere,] the little boy = stated.

"Could you please answer," John pressed his voice, growing = tighter=20 with each syllable.

[Time Guardians can be ---]

"[A COUPLE OF MY QUESTIONS?!]" John loudly interrupted = again, this=20 time mentally as well, without realizing it.

[What do we do about John Fairchild?] the older boy asked.

John's anger was replaced by doubt, for now he began to think that he = was=20 nothing more than a troublesome prisoner.

[Well ---] the girl paused. [The records do not show how John came to = accept=20 and use his powers...]

[You mean --- teach him??] the second boy sounded particularly = dubious.=20 [That's against every ---]

"What are you three on about?!" John snapped, with his = hands on his=20 hips.

[Oh dear, he's getting upset,] the girl began.

[I guess I would too, if I only understood every fourth or fifth = word,] the=20 youngest of the trio sounded sympathetic.

"[I can understand you three, perfectly well!]" John hotly=20 defended, still not realizing what he was capable of.

His young jailers fell quiet. [Let's try something. ARE - YOU - = HUNGRY,--=20 SIR?] each word was carefully pronounced, as if he was a toddler.

John puzzled that through. "Yes, I'm a bit hungry, but I would = like some=20 water please," he replied.

[Did you pick that up?] the girl asked.

[No---]

"[LOOK, I AM GETTING SICK AND TRIED OF THIS LITTLE CHARADE, YOU=20 THREE!]" John lashed out through his brain and his tongue.

[I heard that!] the oldest boy sounded satisfied.

[He is also projecting his emotions,] the girl muttered. [ER, -- = JOHN,--=20 WOULD - YOU - LIKE - SOMETHING - TO - EAT?

Again with the baby slow pace. "[IF - YOU - DON'T - MIND!]" = John=20 mocked her phrasing and tone. To himself he added, [This has got to be=20 hell!]

[JOHN, -- SIR.] the little boy copied his friend. [YOU - ARE - NOT - = IN -=20 HELL, -- SIR. YOU - ARE - NOT - EVEN - DEAD!]

John groaned, dropping his head into his fingertips. "MAY I = PLEASE HAVE=20 SOME WATER?! My throat is getting bloody parched!" he said that = aloud,=20 only.

A glass of water materialized beside his left hand, without him = witnessing=20 it. Feeling the cool, damp against his skin, John simply grabbed the = glass, and=20 downed it, spilling half of it. "[Thank you,]" he replied = quietly,=20 thinking as he turned the glass over in his fingers. "[YOU - THREE = WANT -=20 ME - TO- DO - SOME-THING!?]" he loudly announced.

[John is trying!] the girl was pleased.

[YES! John ---] their voices blended eerily. [WE - WANT - YOU - TO -=20 TEL-E-PATH!!]

John rudely snorted. "[Now, that's impossible!! The human brain = is=20 simply incapable of receiving or sending supposed bio-electronic=20 pulses---]"

His unseen tormentors were giggling. "[Hey! That's true! = Furthermore,=20 nervous tissue could not withstand the rapid build up and break down of = toxins=20 ---]"

Their rolls of sparkling laughter threatened to become infectious.=20 "[Now, wait a minute!]" John finally gained his footing, = pacing,=20 telepathing and speaking like a riled college professor. = "[Biomechanics as=20 applied to something as fantastic as Telepathy IS - NOT - = FUNNY!!]"

[It is when you telepath it, Sir!] the youngest chimed.

John squeaked behind his finger, trying not to laugh in either = manner. [Can=20 there really be such a thing as telepathy?] John puzzled, he hoped to = himself,=20 rubbing his jaw in thought. [Am I really a telepath??]

[I think he's ready,] her telepathy came across feathery and soft as = a=20 whisper.

"[For what?]" John tensed.

[How did = this stuff get here??] [We sent you the toys for you to practice on, Sir,] A'ky'to explained. [Would you please not call me Sir! You're making me feel like I'm a = hundred years old!] John picked up the ball, examining the soft pink = surface. Then he gave it a gentle toss up and caught it. [Can't bend = this like a fork, like ---] [Molecular manipulation of metallics is a bit advanced, for you now, = John,] the still nameless girl explained. [However ---] Apparently on = its own, the ball floated from his open palm, hovering before his face. [If this is really happening to me,] John summarized. [The first logical = step in learning telekinesis should be levitation...] [Tam, he doesn't believe us!] the girl hissed out of concern. [Watch it, Gazel!] the other boy now named Tam, snapped. [John can use = his telepathy!] John chuckled. [Now, about this ball hanging here ---] he purposefully = sounded bored and restless. [Catch it!] Gazel playfully released her telekinesis. Automatically, John shot out his hands and caught it, the old fashioned = way. "[Okay, I made a mistake!]" he quickly admitted in both outlets. He = hefted the ball, mentally calculating its weight. Rolling it onto his = fingertips, he stared at it, willing it to lift. The sphere trembled, before lifting off in a wobbly levitation. John flashed a pleased smile. [Don't force your tk so much, John!]=20 [Why?] John was finding it difficult just to float the ball.

[Bravo, John!] Tam congratulated, a pulse ahead of Gazel and A'ky'to. [I guess I should use a gentler hold,] John telepathed, as he gave the = sphere a casual toss, and again caught it, with his own telekinetic = fingers. This time, the floating orb did not compress or wobble. [For = every action, there is an equal but opposite reaction,] he mentally = quoted, keeping the ball aloft. Dropping the orb, he telekinetically = lifted the shiny puzzle pieces. [About these ---] A'ky'to reached to the farthest triangle, causing it to rotate.

[All right, this is like = the chap spinning china plates on sticks...] One by one, delicately, = John tagged each piece, spinning it. Soon there were twenty-five = flashing, dancing triangles bobbing around him. [You use these to = practice coordination?] [Among other telekinetic techniques, John,] Gazel collapsed his = twinkling cage.

[Would you please answer my questions?] John = mentally shouted, pushing his hair out of his eyes. [Find us, John!] Gazel suddenly challenged. [Catch us, if you can!] The three presences, he was tracing, disappeared. In under a hundredth = of a second, they had separated and reappeared. John's eyes roved about the simple room, consisting of the same four = walls, ceiling and floor, with the rainbow of colors flowing over the = giving, soft surfaces. One of them was nearby, perhaps in the very next = room. Gazel. He anxiously wiped his mouth. She moved, teleported again. This time he = knew that she was in the next chamber south to his position, by a ping. = He latched onto the alien sensation, aching to move toward it. His eyes flew open. John had moved --- teleported, but this room was = disappointingly the same as the last. Also Gazel must have teleported = out, when he teleported in. No, jaunt. Simpler, faster word, better for = escaping out of danger, than teleporting. A'ky'to's laugh sparkled like a spring rain. John followed it in his = mind, jaunting toward the youngster. He caught an after image of a = Japanese boy wearing green trousers and tunic. Emboldened, Tam materialized behind John, poking him in the shoulder. = Spinning, he saw a slightly older, Hindi boy vanish. John, only briefly = astonished, declared, [Okay, I'm it, but when I catch even one of you = three, I do want some answers!] Ghostly snickers, and giggles egged him on. On the next jaunt, he = glimpsed Gazel, as she waved good-bye. Each room he jaunted into was the = exact same as all of the others, but John could feel that he was = teleporting. He tried to form a mental map of this strange place, but = the closest comparison that he could come up with, was that they were = inside a big ball. On the very next jaunt, he found Tam within reach. = John forgot, snapping out his hands, having the delicate child vanish = just as his fingers closed. [Come off it!] John threw up his hands in = defeat. [Look, if I can't catch you, and since you won't give me = answers, I might just as well leave this madhouse!] [NO!] That was not a child. John extended his senses, probing the area, discovering a different room = from all the others. There was only one presence in there, female, = older. [Who are you?] [A concerned --- friend,] great age had lowered, slowed her telepathy. = [Come to me, instead, John. I can answer a few of your questions.] Suspicious, he followed her invitation. This chamber was indeed = different, opening up like a cone. On the far wall, among the flowing = colors, floated a static rotating oval, made up of milky wisps. Before = that was an antique chair. Standing beside it, leaning heavily on an = ornate cane, was an elderly lady. Age had colored her once auburn hair, and necessitated the use of a = cane, however, it did not ravage her. She carried herself with a = queenly, nearly alien grace and ease, as she stepped up to him. She = bobbed her head, acknowledging, "[John---]" Feeling a bit self conscious, he gulped and bobbed his head in return. = "[Er mame ---]" Suddenly she swung away. White fields flowed down her = arms and shoulders like great wings. There was a clap, as three children = materialized within the angelic embrace. "[Caught you, you little imps! = Please excuse that, John,]" she glanced up from the grinning group. = "[These three were born into this game!]" "Are they yours?" he asked simply, relaxing back to merely speaking. "Heavens, no," she warmly chuckled, she followed in his example, as she = stroked Tam's long ebony hair. "Gazel, Tam and A'ky'to are the lucky = winners of a school competition, for the first use of --- this... = temporal bridge." "Temporal bridge? Where are we? Mame?" "Please," she began to interrupt, then waved aside her objection. "To be = scientifically concise, we're no where." "What? We've got to be somewhere!" John insisted, as he prowled up to = what looked like a shelf projecting out of the wall before the chair. "Watch, my young friend," she gently nudged him to one side. Passing her = hands over the shelf, lights and switches flashed out of the color = stream. "A screen please." A television screen sized square materialized = before them. "We aren't on Earth, but just outside of it," she = explained. "And it has been a few days since I last sat through hyper = level physics. There's the lot!" Columns of exotic formula scrolled = down, filling the screen in brilliant red figures. "Recognize it, John?" He began to shake his head no, his heart sinking. These people commanded = a much higher technology, than he could ever hope to learn. Suddenly, he = pointed, "No, that's Professor Hawking's --- that's --- You're saying = we're in a wormhole --- in hyperspace?!" "Actually, we're in a bio-constructed environmental bubble, that's = extended into hyperspace," she replied. "But hyperspace is a mathematical concept!" "Acting like a big zero, to balance out the rest of the universe---."=20 John opened his mouth to protest. "It always goes back to the maths." "Yes, it does," she sagely concurred. "Now you know why we couldn't = allow you to just madly jaunt out. You would have ended up, somewhere = out there." "I could have died?" "If we didn't find you, but to farther complicate matters, should you = had managed to jaunt out of hyperspace, into real space/time, we simply = would have lost you." John only briefly reflected, before demanding, "What are you people = doing here?" "They are doing a research project. I'm just an interested third = party..." "What are you doing research on?" Gazel shied back, while A'ky'to began = to open his mouth. The elder sighed, shooting them a commanding glare. "You, John." "Me?" he gasped. "Milady, I'm --- just a kid!" Her mercurial gaze drew him away, from his protest. "Why were those two = punks chasing you, John?" "Harv and Rowls," John puffed into a pout. "Those two were picking on = the little kids at the bus stop. Nicking whatever change they had on = 'em! Somebody had to stop those two!" "And you took it upon yourself," she prompted quietly. "Nobody else would do anything! Look, I wasn't looking for a fight, but = I'm not a coward!" [I know,] she only briefly glanced into his eyes, and rubbed his arm, = yet she had taken away the sting of his father's recent comments out of = his thoughts. "I become important, don't I?" Longingly, he met her eyes, catching them = shifting from silver back into grey. "It's with these powers, I've just = developed! What do I do? Become an entertainer? Become a secret agent?" She reacted, but kept her thoughts to herself, clutching her fists = tight. Her fingers hovered over the shelf, dismissing the switches and = twinkling buttons. His school books materialized in their stead. "John, = what can I say? Matters had gotten out of hand, as I suspected it did. = We had to interfere in your life, but we cannot dictate how you live = it." "In other words, you could have changed your future." "When infinite possibilities are factored in, as they must, Time, does = not flow as simply as that, John. Our time and place is secure and we = are anchored to it. Your future that has not been written!" She handed = back his books. Finding them clean, undamaged and dry, he began to ask, "How did this?" = His mind became a muddle of conflicting emotions. [Learn about your = powers and yourself,] the lady instructed, as she lightly cupped his = chin. [Be intelligent, brave, caring for others. You also must be strong = and cautious. John, you are the first to break out, but many more will = follow you and look to you.] He caught a tear. [Then, there will be others?] [You will find them, and they will find you,] she smiled, as she began = to turn away. "[Come, walk with me.]" She winced, pivoting on a painful = hip. Automatically, John caught the woman by the elbow to steady her. = "[That's a rather unusual cane,]" he commented. "[This?]" she hefted the walking stick for his inspection. "[A dear = friend gave me this after my hip was broken, by an impatient patient." "[It's a giraffe,]" John admired the lifelike detail, as they continued = to move away from Gazel, A'ky'to and Tam. "[Yes, he was,]" she confirmed. "[But to me, the giraffe become a totem. = It is a wonderful time to be a giraffe, John.]" "[I don't understand...]" She brightly chuckled. "[Due to their height and eyesight, giraffes are = great watchers --- just watching our people spread across the wide = world.]" "[Our people?]" John inflected. He gasped. He knew this lady. His soul touched hers. She allowed her final mask to fall, only to him, and then only briefly. = *Our people, my gentle Beloved.

Suspicious, he followed her invitation. This chamber was indeed = different,=20 opening up like a cone. On the far wall, among the flowing colors, = floated a=20 static rotating oval, made up of milky wisps. Before that was an antique = chair.=20 Standing beside it, leaning heavily on an ornate cane, was an elderly = lady.

Age had colored her once auburn hair, and necessitated the use of a = cane,=20 however, it did not ravage her. She carried herself with a queenly, = nearly alien=20 grace and ease, as she stepped up to him. She bobbed her head, = acknowledging,=20 "[John---]"

Feeling a bit self conscious, he gulped and bobbed his head in = return.=20 "[Er mame ---]" Suddenly she swung away. White fields flowed = down her=20 arms and shoulders like great wings. There was a clap, as three children = materialized within the angelic embrace. "[Caught you, you little = imps!=20 Please excuse that, John,]" she glanced up from the grinning group. = "[These three were born into this game!]"

"Are they yours?" he asked simply, relaxing back to merely=20 speaking.

"Heavens, no," she warmly chuckled, she followed in his = example, as=20 she stroked Tam's long ebony hair. "Gazel, Tam and A'ky'to are the = lucky=20 winners of a school competition, for the first use of --- this... = temporal=20 bridge."

"Temporal bridge? Where are we? Mame?"

"Please," she began to interrupt, then waved aside her = objection.=20 "To be scientifically concise, we're no where."

"What? We've got to be somewhere!" John insisted, as he = prowled up=20 to what looked like a shelf projecting out of the wall before the = chair.

"Watch, my young friend," she gently nudged him to one = side.=20 Passing her hands over the shelf, lights and switches flashed out of the = color=20 stream. "A screen please." A television screen sized square=20 materialized before them. "We aren't on Earth, but just outside of=20 it," she explained. "And it has been a few days since I last = sat=20 through hyper level physics. There's the lot!" Columns of exotic = formula=20 scrolled down, filling the screen in brilliant red figures. = "Recognize it,=20 John?"

He began to shake his head no, his heart sinking. These people = commanded a=20 much higher technology, than he could ever hope to learn. Suddenly, he = pointed,=20 "No, that's Professor Hawking's --- that's --- You're saying we're = in a=20 wormhole --- in hyperspace?!"

"Actually, we're in a bio-constructed environmental bubble, = that's=20 extended into hyperspace," she replied.

"But hyperspace is a mathematical concept!"

"Acting like a big zero, to balance out the rest of the=20 universe---."

John opened his mouth to protest. "It always goes back to the=20 maths."

"Yes, it does," she sagely concurred. "Now you know = why we=20 couldn't allow you to just madly jaunt out. You would have ended up, = somewhere=20 out there."

"I could have died?"

"If we didn't find you, but to farther complicate matters, = should you=20 had managed to jaunt out of hyperspace, into real space/time, we simply = would=20 have lost you."

John only briefly reflected, before demanding, "What are you = people=20 doing here?"

"They are doing a research project. I'm just an interested third = party..."

"What are you doing research on?" Gazel shied back, while = A'ky'to=20 began to open his mouth.

The elder sighed, shooting them a commanding glare. "You,=20 John."

"Me?" he gasped. "Milady, I'm --- just a = kid!"

Her mercurial gaze drew him away, from his protest. "Why were = those two=20 punks chasing you, John?"

"Harv and Rowls," John puffed into a pout. "Those two = were=20 picking on the little kids at the bus stop. Nicking whatever change they = had on=20 'em! Somebody had to stop those two!"

"And you took it upon yourself," she prompted quietly.

"Nobody else would do anything! Look, I wasn't looking for a = fight, but=20 I'm not a coward!"

[I know,] she only briefly glanced into his eyes, and rubbed his arm, = yet she=20 had taken away the sting of his father's recent comments out of his=20 thoughts.

"I become important, don't I?" Longingly, he met her eyes, = catching=20 them shifting from silver back into grey. "It's with these powers, = I've=20 just developed! What do I do? Become an entertainer? Become a secret=20 agent?"

She reacted, but kept her thoughts to herself, clutching her fists = tight. Her=20 fingers hovered over the shelf, dismissing the switches and twinkling = buttons.=20 His school books materialized in their stead. "John, what can I = say?=20 Matters had gotten out of hand, as I suspected it did. We had to = interfere in=20 your life, but we cannot dictate how you live it."

"In other words, you could have changed your future."

"When infinite possibilities are factored in, as they must, = Time, does=20 not flow as simply as that, John. Our time and place is secure and we = are=20 anchored to it. Your future that has not been written!" She handed = back his=20 books.

Finding them clean, undamaged and dry, he began to ask, "How did = this?" His mind became a muddle of conflicting emotions. [Learn = about your=20 powers and yourself,] the lady instructed, as she lightly cupped his = chin. [Be=20 intelligent, brave, caring for others. You also must be strong and = cautious.=20 John, you are the first to break out, but many more will follow you and = look to=20 you.]

He caught a tear. [Then, there will be others?]

[You will find them, and they will find you,] she smiled, as she = began to=20 turn away. "[Come, walk with me.]" She winced, pivoting on a = painful=20 hip.

Automatically, John caught the woman by the elbow to steady her.=20 "[That's a rather unusual cane,]" he commented.

"[This?]" she hefted the walking stick for his inspection. = "[A=20 dear friend gave me this after my hip was broken, by an impatient=20 patient."

"[It's a giraffe,]" John admired the lifelike detail, as = they=20 continued to move away from Gazel, A'ky'to and Tam.

"[Yes, he was,]" she confirmed. "[But to me, the = giraffe=20 become a totem. It is a wonderful time to be a giraffe, John.]"

"[I don't understand...]"

She brightly chuckled. "[Due to their height and eyesight, = giraffes are=20 great watchers --- just watching our people spread across the wide=20 world.]"

"[Our people?]" John inflected.

He gasped. He knew this lady. His soul touched hers.

She allowed her final mask to fall, only to him, and then only = briefly. *Our=20 people, my gentle Beloved. The Tomorrow=20 People...*

This story is completed in two parts.

Rating: PG for violence.

Legalities: The Tomorrow People was a television series created and = produced=20 by Roger Price, via Thames River Television, 1973.

------=_NextPart_000_0004_01BFA31C.0A4D19A0-- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- From: CMento6653@aol.com Subject: TPFICT: tctp 1 to 87 Date: 12 Apr 2000 16:06:20 EDT THE TP-original series-1974 to 1979 DREAMS OF DESTINY-1980 to 1981 (time change sometimes puts this later) JEDIKIAH'S REVENGE-movie-1982 ANIMATED TOMORROW PEOPLE-series-1982 1982 to 1983 1-INTRODUCTIONS Questor (John Stamos), an alien, discovers an underground group of telepaths living in London. He helps them with a mission and makes his friendly intentions clear as do they. This mission was to find out about a group of teen pickpockets who had stolen secret weaponry from a London armory. 2-BREAKOUT Stephen senses a new Tomorrow Person breaking out during a blizzard. An attempt to help almost has tragic results. Brian Robbins (Andrew Caravelli) breaks out. 3-FAR TO GO With Stephen and Tyso's help, Brian comes to terms with his new powers. Brian's first adventure ends up detecting a youngster with great potential. 11 year old Toby Llewellyn (Keith Mitchell) is this genius. 4-YOUNG BLOOD Toby is an 11 year old genius who breaks out. He instantly distrusts everybody. He and the others think he is the youngest to break out but they forgot Kenny really was. Younger Tp will break out within the next 8 years. 5-FIRE ONE Toby uses his new powers and his own genius, to reconstruct and remodel the TP HQ. In the process, we learn how TIM was created. 6-CALL FROM TIME Time Guardian Peter returns to the TP for help in containing a time warp he accidentally unleashed. This time warp was putting history 25 years too early, causing things to happen earlier than they should have. NOTE: This type of time warp would affect the Tp again in the future and more than once. In 1989, 1990, and 1991, a time warp rift (really due to creative differences between TC and myself) would make these years sort of blend into one long time. 7-LETTER FROM HELL College student now, Tyso is disturbed by telepathic emissions from occult experimentist Jani Thomas (Valerie Landsberg). An accident during a ceremony causes her to break out. 8-LOVE AT FIRST SIGHT Stephen and Jani fall in love as he trains her in the use of her newfound powers. 9-SECRET LIFE A bookwormish student with a secret partyloving side shows signs of breaking out but cannot be found when the time arrives. Julian "JJ" Tomie (Anthony Edwards) joins the TP. 10-MORDEU 30th century evil magician is accidentally released by Peter. Mordeu wants revenge on his foe Questor, who was responsible for his imprisonment. 11-MAGIC HATH FEW CHARMS Questor is captured by Mordeu. The Tp face defeat at the magician's hands. Mordeu destroys the most recent version of the Lab. It is alien Matthew Star (played by Peter Barton from the TV series THE POWERS OF MATTHEW STAR ) who comes up with a new solution that saves everyone. When Mordeu is entombed, he loses his powers. Mordeu is finally entombed on a distant planet. 12-DEADLY ACT A young aspiring actor is plagued by visions and voices of doom, sensing a neighbor's terrorist hostage taking plans. Tawny Callahan (Meeno Peluce, star of VOYAGERS!) breaks out. 13-THE CURSE OF THE SPIDRON Spidron escapes Galactic Prison, where Steen had managed to put him and returns to Earth for revenge on the TP. The Trig assisted construction on a specially designed hidden satellite, begins. Later this satellite will be named FUTURE ONE and will also be revealed to contain its own secrets such as being a rocket/star/space/time ship. 14-JOINT CUSTODY The TP risk contact with Earth governments to help stop a deadly new strain of flu accidentally unleashed by the CIA and the KGB. This virus was released when it was being tested by flushing sponges with the infection in them into several major systems of water plants on the US East Coast. 15-DOCTOR'S CHAIR A doctor finds out about the TP and tries to expose them after Brian reveals their secret while under hypnosis treatment for a football injury. This doctor vanishes before the TP can find him 16-MOVING IN The Tp move into their new satellite headquarters, hidden from Earth view by spectrashift. TIM, malfunctioning, goes berserk during transfer from Underground to the Satellite. 17-SEAVIEW ALiens invade Earth to build an undersea base that if completed would mean the destruction of half the Earth. This episode is based on DOCTOR WHO-WARRIORS OF THE DEEP. 18-CLASSIC CASE Jamie Parker (C Thomas Howell) is surprised to learn that he will eventually become a TP. Questor and TIM help Peter resolve a time flux. Questor came from the 27th Century. Peter and TIM were helping to try to work out a way to get Questor home. Although the time flux allowed Questor to come to the past--the Tp's present---and it was opened easily, there was virtually no way to recreate it to send Questor home. 19-FAMILY SECRETS Andrew's father is murdered! Seeking a reason, Andrew and the TP stumble upon a long forgotten family feud now involved with world security. 20-DETONATION Andrew's family feud heats up when his power hungry uncle seizes an atomic energy plant and threatens detonation if his demands for world power are not met. 21-TIME CROSS-A group of TP not involved with Andrew's family feud travel with Peter into the 23rd century to cure an illness which threatens all psi life. Barney Barton (Tim Topper) breaks out with Kevin Ankoris's (Billy Warlock of BAYWATCH season 1 and 2, DAYS OF OUR LIVES, and GENERAL HOSPITAL) help. NOTES ON SEASON ONE: Jamie and Kamandi, friends of QUESTOR, appear quite a bit on this first season of the new Tp. Andre Fleaurmer (Thelonius Bernard) and Kevin Ankoris (Billy Warlock) were Tp who broke out before this series began. Thus they broke out sometime between WAR OF THE EMPIRES and INTRODUCTIONS. This Lab was similar to the first Lab only larger and was protected by a spectrashift. TIM was located in a ceiling encasement, John having decided that the mobile version was too much trouble to maintain. although the network of tubing for TIM's biotronic fluids now encompassed the entire lab, including the individual's quarters. This lab was located somewhere near the vicinity of the original Lab, but built even farther down and further back than the Second Lab (THE LOST GODS) which was destroyed by Major Ann Turner and the SIS in 1981---which brings me to DREAMS OF DESTINY. DREAMS OF DESTINY by Dianne Elliot details what happens in the years 1980 to 1981 approximately although the constant time shifts that occur make WAR OF THE EMPIRES sometimes occur in 1980 or 1981 and DREAMS in 1981 to 1982. One bad move in that is the death of Hsue Tai. The satellite: A team of Trig engineers built it. It is in geosynchronious orbit 22,300 miles above Earth's surface over London, England. Time on the satellite is measure by Grennwich Mean Time, each individual member can adjust the environment of his or her quarters and the time within, to fit their own needs. The satellite started out as 12 decks large with more than enough space to accomodate the TP currently known and can be moved by means of a propulsion system to any location in the solar system. It is hidden from view of Earth by a spectrashift generator. Much of this would change over the years as the satellite was named later (FUTURE ONE) and would grow or expand and secrets within would be revealed. Matthew Star and Walt Sheppard appear from time to time. Also some episodes were crossovers with QUESTOR, a series about an alien. There were also crossovers with POWERS OF MATTHEW STAR. MY OWN COMMENTS: One can see both merit and confusion right from the beginning. The TP didn't need do crossover so blatantly with either QUESTOR or POWERS OF MATTHEW STAR. The overreliance on other characters made the TP more like THE X MEN, which sometimes worked and sometimes didn't. As time went on, this format faded but the TP never fully recovered. 1983 to 1984 22-MELTDOWN The Tp try to find a way to defeat Andrew's Uncle Richard. Gregg Martz (Kelly Hansen), One of Richard's hostages breaks out. Anderw dies to save the planet from certain destruction, using his telekinesis to contain the nuclear explosion. MY NOTES: In this controversial move, Andrew appears to die but is he really gone for good? Also didn't like his dad having to die also. A bad move for the series, I felt. 23-THE DECISION Stephen and Tyso decide to return to the Galactic corps after a couple of years back on Earth. Jani decides to stay behind. NOTE: This is the last episode where Brian is played by Andrew Caravelli, who passed away in a car accident. 24-SILENT NIGHT, JOBE NIGHT Jobe Arkensa becomes the first deaf Tomorrow Person. Brian is felled by a mysterious disease while at the Trig with Stephen and Tyso. NOTE: Brian is now played by Todd Porter of WHIZ KIDS. 25-BARTER FORTIME Andrea Barter (Lara Jill Miller) breaks out when she picks up telepathic impressions from Jobe who was the victim of a kidnapping, having witnessed a murder. Andrea manages to alert the Tp to his perilous predicament. 26-TIME TRAP Peter, trapped in the 21st Century, calls for help. A rescue attempt by the Tp fails. 27-LIVING LEGEND Zack finds Rabowski alive and teams up with the Tp to stop the time crossing monsters Rabowski has forced Peter to help him unleash. Rabowski had trapped Peter when Peter first found out Rabowski was still alive. The first team sent to find Peter was captured and had to be rescued by a second team when Rabowski made his way to the 20th Century. Zack (Lee Curreri of FAME), a Time Guardian, teamed up with Toby to create a convection, returning the monsters to the time where they were originally taken from. 28-SEEING DOUBLE Ricky Johnson (Adam Rich of EIGHT IS ENOUGH) breaks out, going insane in the process as the TP try to stop the disasters being caused b Ricky while in pain. TIM manages to heal the mental injuries and Ricky joins the TP. 29-THE SEARCH Jamie asks for help in locating Questor, who has disappeared. Dr. Allenton is holding Questor prisoner and the Tp must find a way to save him without revealing their existence to him. 30-SEARCH CAREFULLY Kevin infiltrates Allenton's headquarters where he finds Allenton's unknowing assistant, Barb Jansen (Amy Steele from FRIDAY THE 13TH PART 2 and POWERS OF MATTHEW STAR), on the verge of breaking out. Kevin and Barb help restore Questor's memory and all escape, leaving behind a stunned Allenton. 31-SKATING ON THIN ICE Barney goes undercover to help with the breakout of Olympic skater Kevin Holt (Pat Talkington), which TIM believes will be a difficult breakout. NOTE: We now have two Kevin's--Kevin Holt; and Kevin Ankoris (Billy Warlock). This is the first of several bad decisions by TC. 32-STAR LIGHT, STAR BRIGHT Andre and Matthew Star investigate a friend under suspicion of drug dealing. They stumble onto an assassination plot innocently involving their friend. NOTE: Walt Sheppard (Lou Gossett Jr) , Matthew's mentor is a semi regular on the show now. 33-POINT OF NO RETURN Tikno asks the TP to help him free the natives of planet Sharonna from a non psi dictator. The plan fails, but Mike Bell, Barney, Barb, Tawny, and JJ remain behind to continue the fight. NOTE: the first of many ill fated spin offs of the kind TC liked to do. Some of them worked but for the most part they were pretty awful. 34-DISSOLUTION TIM's essence is accidentally stolen by computer hacker and aspiring musician Terry Keller (Michael Damian of some soap opera), who then breaks out. The Tp must find TIM and assist Terry without his aid. John, seeing the group continue to grow and mature, decides to permanently join Heather and Amanda at the Trig, where they were sent during the KGB virus outbreak. NOTE: Another bad move, moving John to the Trig. This had to be done to incorporate Heather and Amanda, Dianne's characters from DREAMS OF DESTINY into this TC universe. TC had storylines that did not include these two great characters since he found out about them after he plotted so many stories. To fit them in later on (a good move as they were the best thing about this series), he moved John and the two of them to the Trig. 35-NEW RULER Elizabeth M'Bondo assumes the mantle of leadership. Brian, still weakened by his battle with the VSR virus, returns to Earth feeling inferior, helpless and altered. 36-SOLO STAR Brian goes on a deadly mission without informing the others to prove himself still worthy of being a TP and is nearly killed in an accident. 37-JOYCE'S WORLD Snobbish teen Joyce Feinstein (Alison Finte) begins to break out but runs from all attempts of help that the TP offer. 38-THE TOBY FACTOR A mysterious malady fells Toby while TIM is offline. Liz isn't sure that Toby can be saved without help from the massive biocomputer TIM but help from the Trig doctor M'Pongold, a very alien doctor, arrives at the last moment. M'Pongold is not humanoid. 39-SECRETS Jamie feels left out when Questor goes on a secret mission for the TP. Jamie breaks out following an accident at school caused by his distraction over the situation. 40-HEARTACHES Jamie feels betrayed by Questor, who only wants to shelter his friend from the troubles of the world. Their strained relationship is mended with help from Terry and TIM. NOTE: It starts to get more and more like a soap opera and not much happens per episode at this point. TC felt the TP became a community ala KNOT'S LANDING and this shows...badly. 41-THE FERRERI Renaldo Ferreri (Tony La Torre) is the orphaned son of a former circus act is kidnaped from his guardians, the owner of the circus, where his fear triggers his breakout. A telepathic cry for help alerts Terry, who goes to his rescue but almost not in time. Renaldo joins the TP. 42-CRY FOR HELP Renaldo discovers an extra power. Hit by a laser the first time he jaunts, Renaldo breaks out fully. He can shoot lasers from his fingertips---absorbing energy. 43-THE "DEATH" OF RICKY Ricky is seemingly killed in an auto accident but the Tp pick up on faint traces of memories, prompting them to believe something strange is going on. An enemy of Ricky's discovered his powers and had him kidnaped for his own purposes. 44-SUSPICION Jobe is arrested for burglary, not knowing he was framed by a friend. The Tp try to find a way to clear the young man without revealing their existence. 45-GUILTY UNTIL PROVEN INNOCENT The Tp discover Jobe's legal counsel is a fake while discovering the counsel's secretary, Felice Akers (Connie Needham), is ready to break out. Andre pulls a stunt in court that clears Jobe and reveals the real culprit. 46-THE PARADE On Earth for some time off, Stephen and Tyso pick up images of an invasion, which is confirmed by Ambassador Kolar (John Colicos of BATTLESTAR GALACTICA). This invasion will later prove to be an invasion from Tharga. 47-THE TIME IS HERE Zack comes in search of Peter, who disappeared during their most recent mission. 48-SCENES FROM THE END OF SPACE Brian picks up images of Hsui Tai and Andrew, who were both thought long (?) dead. No explanation can be found except that maybe Brian is going crazy. Brian's visions are found out to be projections, coming from a Thargon agent. NOTE: Despite this, Andrew and Hsui Tai live on in some form. This will be revealed in the future. 49-THE WEDDING ROYALE Stephan and Jani's wedding is wonderful until a feared Thargon invasion begins. This puts the TP into action. 50-FINAL VOWS The Tp must secretly save Earth from the Thargon invasion. Major space battles inflict great damage on the satellite. A stray phaser bolt from a passing Thargon ship hits Jani, who lives her final moments in Stephen's arms. The others manage to defeat the invading army. 51-PARALYSIS OF DOOM Renaldo's powers suddenly begin to fail, causing him to be injured in a jaunting accident, perhaps fatally. The Tp suffer a slowing of their powers. The still training Felice dies suddenly, prompting a few tests and a lot of worry---have the Tp suddenly begun to devolve? Later in the next episode we find that the real culprit was a small virus that affected only TP. Toby develops a cure, given to all Tp when they break out, one dose for life. NOTES ON SEASON TWO: While Andrew Caravelli was 19 when he played Brian, Todd Porter who replaced him was 17. Some stories remained self contained while others took several weeks to resolve. The series thus took on a semi continuing format. Several episodes were crossovers with QUESTOR as happened in the first season. Three spinoffs appear this season and intermingle with the main show, often starting out on the main TP show. STEPHEN AND TYSO, TIME GATE, and POINT OF NO RETURN begin. John is written out (always a bad move) following the mid season start of POINT OF NO RETURN. He began to return from time to time before fully returning (thankfully) in the 1988 to 1989 season. There were also more crossovers with THE NEW ADVENTURES OF MATTHEW STAR and QUESTOR. SPINOFF CHECK: STEPHEN AND TYSO season one TIMEGATE season one POINT OF NO RETURN season one MOVIE: RETURN OF THE DOOMSDAY MEN 1984-1985 52-THE RUSSIAN CONNECTION Endrei Komorov (Ron Claver), the first Russian TP undetected by the KGB, breaks out. Renaldo recovers from his accident. Toby and TIM, working together, find the answer to the sudden weakness that affected Renaldo and Felice. Felice has died. The culprit is a small virus that affects only TP. Toby develops a cure that is given to all TP when they break out, one dose for life. Brian decides to join Stephen and Tyso at the Trig. 53-AMERICAN EXPRESS Endrei, worried about his family in the USSR, disobeys orders and returns home, only to be captured by the KGB. Toby, making a new orientation machine, picks up a teenager in agony. Tony Le Blanc (John P Navin, Jr) breaks out. 54-RESCUE TESTING Kevin and Terry launch a rescue attempt for Endrei.

Dion tries to follow Ricky to try and comfort him. Cawston's memory is 100 percent restored. 69-MASTER'S HEIR Cawston receives a phony distress call from the Tp asking for his help.

Detron now controls all time and space around Earth and begins hungering for more. NOTES ON SEASON THREE The character of Kevin Ankoris (Billy Warlock) seems to have just vanished from the show. Jamie appears as a full time regular. The stories become fully continuing. QUESTOR crossovers were involved. The spinoff characters return for this season. A massive death occurs as a result of the battle with Jedikiah and Detron. MY NOTES: Not terrible but too many breakouts and the soap format hurt the overall effect of the show. Way too many characters and too many breakouts happening right on top of each other. Not bad but not very good either. The crossovers at this point were an inspired idea but having them crossover so much was not very cool. I wouldn't mind the original series characters Mike Bell, Stephen Jamieson, and Tyso Bozewell returning from their spinoffs but we also get a major influx of characters we don't really care about. SPINOFF CHECKLIST: STEPHEN AND TYSO season two TIME GATE season two POINT OF NO RETURN season two GROUND ZERO season one-Spring of 1985 1985-1986 82-FEAR OF FLYING Detron is defied b a group of the Tp and Hawk.

The last ditch effort succeeds in getting rid of Detron but at the highest cost possible: Brian, Gregg, Sabrina, Tony, Julianna, Greta, and Jobe perish while Hawk and Toby are critically injured and the inside of the satellite is destroyed. Ricky, Heidi, and Glenna, seeing the destruction, decide to quit active membership. The plan was to use a massive bolt of psychic energy but those who channeled the energy had to actually touch Detron to deliver it. Jedikiah was seemingly killed in the backlash of energy, the same backlash that while getting Detron put away, killed many TP. 83-AUSSIE IN THE OUTBACK Stephen and the Overmind Group return to their headquarters to seek help for Hawk.

Jillian and Renny consummate their relationship on Renny's 16th birthday. Kevin and Andrea reveal their secret to everyone, who couldn't be happier for them and their impending arrival. OKAY WHAT'S UP NOTE: What the hell is this, a soap opera? It has turned the TP into total soap and it's really mediocre. Not only that but does one get the idea that these little blurbs can only add up to about 15 minutes of so called adventure? 105-FIRE AND WATER Toby detects a radiation cloud drifting towards Earth. Elizabeth accepts Gary's marriage proposal. Chip's lifelong best friend is showing signs of being in trouble. Jeff Martin appears (Rob Stone of MR. BELVEDERE). 106-UNUSUAL ACTIVITY Endrei notes an increase of activity on the Russian space station. Toby and Liz fear detection by the Soviets, who may be worried that they are working for the CIA.

Liz, on Earth, prepares for her wedding. TIM, overloaded by the information from the cloud explodes, injuring Toby, Kevin, and Lorraine. Without help from TIM, the satellite's orbit begins to decay. NOTES ON SEASON FOUR: Liz will retire next season. Phillip Gilbert as the voice of TIM will retire next season but Vincent Price will take over TIM's voice. MY OWN NOTES: Oh boy, the real rot sets in. Okay, I can see that if you enjoy the characters, you can enjoy a particular story line. The stories are driven only by the characters and many of them are not interesting or fleshed out in any way, thus, the stories are mundane, something the TP should never be. I also tend to see what I never noticed until writing this: the worst aspects of DOCTOR WHO's later seasons began to influence TC: we have a regular villain and deaths thrown in for deaths' sakes. Not a good way to write. On top of that, we continue to get the encroaching soap continuation aspect, which only hurt this writer and this once promising show. This season the characters that break out are even more shallow than the previous ones, many of the best ones having been killed off at the start of this "season." The stretched out story lines only make things worse and this season can probably be told as one four hour mini series and even that would be putting stress on the narrative. In addition to all of this mess, TC's spinoffs are not listed in the correct years in book one and book three--one might be correct and the other might not. Some in Book One have overlapping years and others are not listed in the third book. SPINOFF CHECKLIST: STEPHEN AND TYSO season 3 TIME GATE season 3 POINT OF NO RETURN season 3 GROUND ZERO --Winter 1986 MOVIE: STEPHEN AND TYSO: THE ARMAGEDDON FACTOR-December 1985 1986-1987 Becomes 90 Minutes (previous episodes were one hour) 112-OUT OF CONTROL Toby regains consciousness in time to save the satellite, but not Kevin.

Darren and Frasier escape from their street gang captors but Jesse gets stuck and is recaptured. NOTES ON SEASON FIVE: Actor Pat Talkington who played Kevin Holt was killed in a car accident, thus his character was supposed to have Kevin turn up missing but return early on. Lara Jill Miller's character was supposed to stay but the passing of Pat made her ask to leave. Michael Cerveris replaced Mike Holloway as Mike Bell. WHY? This was one of the worst of many bad moves by TC. And for no apparent reason. Christoff St John (playing Dion) became Kristoff St John. Keith Mitchell took on the name Keith Coogan (playing Toby). Toby fixed TIM and expanded him all over the satellite. His personality was given an overhaul as well and his voice became that of Vincent Price. As much as I like Price, this was yet another bad move in a series of bad moves. The 90 minute format seemed un-needed as not much continued to happen via each episode. Jeff Martin, a pivotal character for this season and the season to follow, was, in the first book, barely mentioned as breaking out. He also appeared in season four but was just briefly referred to as being in trouble! Anyway, Jeff broke out but knew Chip for a long time and was a lifelong friend. Jeff apparently broke out in early September of 1986. SPINOFF CHECKLIST: STAR TEAM FOUR-single season POINT OF NO RETURN-February mini series to conclude the series 1987-1988 142-CHOICES Jesse gets stuck in a hole, it was too small for his larger body.

Trent considers Julia's offer. Julia's terms: Trent accompany the twins to help with her research. Dion takes care of some personal affairs. Evan pushes for Dion's impeachment. Trent and Toby decide to agree to Julia's terms to save the twins. Trent agreed but only because he knew if he didn't, there was no other way to save the twins. He later found out he was wrong. Trent and the Twins leave to join Julia, who, to Daniel's consternation, keeps her end of the bargain, as Trent does his. 161-LIFE AND DEATH Dion returns from visiting his family and shocks everyone by tendering his resignation as leader. The members see Dion's turmoil and wonder if they have been doing the right thing. Evan tries to get through to Dion. A horrified Evan listens to Dion's ramblings, as he realizes what Dion has planned just seconds too late. Dion blew his brains out with a 44 caliber pistol, with Evan looking on, too stunned to react soon enough. 162-WHY ARE WE HERE?

Jeff takes a chance to visit his brother and sister. Trent and the twins, weak but once again active, stage a daring escape, which infuriates Julia and Daniel. Jeb is caught and taken prisoner by his foster father. Andreas contacts the KGB. 166-PAST, PRESENT AND FUTURE The TP band together to save Jeb from more deadly abuse. Colonel Moninco returns Andreas's phone call. Toby makes a startling discovery about Jeb's mysterious missing past. Jeb had been kidnaped at the age of 3 and raised by his abusive step parents. His real name is Jeb Terrance Atherton. Jeb's real father is dead and his real mother remarried a scuzball who is after her money. The Athertons are worth 150 million. 167-HAUNTING MEMORIES The Tp are successful in saving Jeb, who is stunned by Toby's news. Andreas informs the membership of his decision, which does not sit well. John and Liz form a new leadership plan for the TP. 168-PHANTOMS Josh, Jake, and Tina are saved from a trap set by Julia by a mysterious stranger who seems to know all about them. John and Liz present their leadership plan to the full membership, which readily accepts it. A young orphan named Max Manchester (Sunny Besen Thrasher), also a genius, age 12, breaks out with help from Toby. 169-SUPREME COUNCIL The membership begin deciding on who should be a part of the new Supreme Council. Toby and Evan decline leadership but accept seats on the council. A secret mental vote conducted and counted by TIM, elects Trent new leader, with Josh and Lorraine as deputy leaders. John and Liz agree to sit on the Supreme Council and return to limited active status. 170-PLOTS The mysterious stranger appears again, saving the satellite from a bomb planted by Daniel and undetected by TIM. To lift their spirits, Darren, Mike, Frasier, Brett, Danette, Kamandi, and Derek decide to have a picnic. Toby, visiting his parents in NY, is mugged. 171-REVELATIONS The picnic group are caught in a surprise time storm, unknown to the rest of the membership and end up God knows where. Toby awakes in the hospital with amnesia and no identification on him. Julia and Daniel launch a new attack plan of the TP but are stopped by the mysterious stranger. Jeff, on Earth, has yet another radiation attack. Daniel discovers Toby's amnesia. The members cannot locate either Toby or the picnic group, causing a great deal of worry. The mysterious stranger jaunts aboard the satellite and reveals his identity, which stuns everyone. It is Stephen Jamieson. NOTES ON SEASON SIX: Dion killed himself during February sweeps. A scientific explanation for this was not given but plans called for it to be revealed in season 8 (1989 to 1990). Daniel is evil because no mutation or evolution is every 100 right from a scientific viewpoint. Although John was going to be "recast" with actor Robert Torti---saner minds prevailed and John was still Nick Young. MY VIEWS: This is really the first truly strong season and much better than the awful 4 and 5. I still have trouble with killing people off for the sake of killing them off at the end of a "season" just to give the cliffhanger some danger. Deaths do make the universe a more dangerous, less mundane place in a series and this works to that effect, however to have it happen at the end of a "season" using a cliffhanger is just sometimes too boring, only to have all wrapped up neatly in the next season's opening. This reeks of nighttime soap junk like DYNASTY, FALCON CREST, and their awful spinoffs. At times, however, the format can work such as with the mysterious stranger and Daniel and the much better KNOT'S LANDING series can show. The ideas and casting here is much more inspired than in the past and the action moves better. Although I had some reservations about Jake and Josh, their addition is welcomed. An improvement all around.

NOTES ON SEASON 7: A little boy named Mikey Kevin Holt, played by Christopher Finefrock is also in this season. He is the child of TP Kevin Holt and Tp Andrea Barter. Rob Stone and Jeff were written out after 11 episodes (a bad move). Credits altered accordingly each season. Jeff contracted AIDS through a blood transfusion. Characters from STEPHEN AND TYSO reoccur. Andreas Kozloswki played by Jonathan Aluzis moved to the spinoff STAR FRONTIERS at midseason. LATE NIGHT WITH DAVID LETTERMAN also had David, Calvert Deforrest, Paul Shaffer, Will Lee, and Jack Hanna appearing as themselves, another really boring idea. Carol appears for three appearances. SPINOFF CHECKLIST: STAR FRONTIERS season two TIMELOST season one CROSSOVERS with BEAUTY AND THE BEAST and DAVID LETTERMAN. MY VIEWS ON THIS SEASON AND TC'S RIPOFFS: Okay here is where TC really started to shine as well as piss me off. Dianne's excellent characters and contributions excelled this series from the so-so often garbage that it was to a major entertaining event each week. Dianne, who received no credit for her story lines and contributions as well as for her characters, is always the best and is always entertaining and fun. In addition, I became really angry at TC for his rip offs. At the time he made up season 7, I and Dianne had pitched several characters independent of each other. What TC would do is take a character, say for example, a 13 year old street boy that I made up. He would then take the background, change it A LITTLE and change the age to perhaps a 17 year old character. He would then introduce HIS character with the 17 year old age and the same background as the one I made up and perhaps change the country or the state that the character I made up came from. He would introduce this character EARLIER than he would introduce my charactor. Now I proposed this NYC street hustler boy and he introduced his 17 year old from some other state who found his way to NYC earlier. He also began to do this here, this season. For instance, Max, a characater who wasn't going anywhere. Max suddenly found his parents were old time characters Evergreen and Paul. Well, Dianne already had pitched Mike Bell's illegimate son Quince to TC. Quince, a great character (Christian Bale) is introduced in season 8, not 7. TC did this again and again. I also made my NYC hustler a forerunner of the Time Guardians via a THIRD BREAKOUT. You can see where this was used in Cesee, TC's earlier character. I also made use of a very young breakout about the age of 5 who was deaf and couldn't talk. Well this character would interact kindly and angelically with all the characters including the bad guys. TC then took Mikey and reintroduced him to the show just to do the same thing. This hijacking didn't restrict itself to just the character but to the ACTORS and CASTING IDEAS as well as the storylines. It is a shame TC felt he had to do this for some of his stuff this season showed greatness above and beyond all he had done before. The Soggoth stuff, despite the slowness of coming, was really quite good. The BAD: a crossover with BEAUTY AND THE BEAST. It seemed unneeded. I like BEAUTY AND THE BEAST a great deal but this story, a typical trial frame up story, didn't need Catherine to be in it. Later, I suggested a FRIDAY THE 13TH THE SERIES character, the newly young Ryan (now either 9 or 11) breakout and low and behold in season 9, there was a FRIDAY THE 13TH crossover which TC took credit for. TC was NEVER any good at naming characters: he took names of actors, sometimes the actors who played them and made those the names. WORSE: he took names of already existing characters and used them again! Thus we had two or three Kevins, at least two CCs, and now he makes a Peter arrive. Well, Peter was a Time Guardian. Later we will get a Marco and a Marcus, two different characters who break out almost at the same time, and a villain named Corey while we had a Kory or Cory already as a hero. This kind of confusion could have been avoided but wasn't. Another problem I had was with the books themselves: the first book in particular just hinted at what happened. I had to dig and ask and ask and ask to find out Max's parent's identities. You won't find it in the first book. There are also many other things that I had to find out and many which I will never which the books just hint at but don't fully explain. Later books were better at giving us more details. I constantly told him this was needed and he revised the format due to my detailed criticisms and advice. I am still pissed that his hidden seasons 10, 11 and 12 were not given to me. I can only guess at what he ripped off of me without giving me any credit. 1989-1990 202-DELIVERANCE 203-HYPERSPATIAL HELL 204-RELIGIOUS EXPERIENCE 205-MISTAKEN IDENTITY 206-REVEREND OF THE MASSES 207-HOT WHEELS 208-GAME, SET, AND MATCH 209-OVERDUE HOMECOMINGS 210-A YEAR IN THE LIFE (Three Hour Special) 211-LOCKSMITHING IS THE FAMILY TRADE 212-BEAT OF A DANCER 213-CULT PERSONALITIES 214-INTERIOR EMOTIONS 215-ELECTIVE MURDER 216-SPACED OUT 217-BURNING QUESTIONS 218-LIARS AND ASSASSINS 219-HEART OF A HEALER 220-TALENTS NEVER FORGOTTEN 221-HOUR OF RELIGIOUS SIGNIFICANCE 222-DEATH WITHIN A DREAM 223-APARTHEID HO! 224-EPIDEMIC HOMOPHOBIA 225-BETRAYED TRUSTS 226-DEATH BY FIRING SQUAD 227-ASTRONOMICAL ODDS 228-PHOTOGRAPHIC ENHANCEMENT 229-MEDICINE IN A MISSILE SILO 230-INSIDE/OUTSIDE 231-ARM, HAMMER,---AND SICKLE 232-COMMUNIST FEVER 233-EVERY PICTURE TELL A STORY 234-INCRIMINATING EVIDENCE 235-FREEDOM TO CHOOSE, FREEDOM TO DIE 236-MOLE IN OUR MIDST 237-VENGEANCE OF A SHAPE CHANGER 1990-1991 238-FROM RUSSIA WITH FEAR 239-JAWS OF THE SHARK 240-TRAINING GROUND 241-BREAKING GROUND 242-INVASION OF THE SOUL 243-REHAB RELAPSE 244-INDEFINATE FUTURES 245-BACK IN THE USSR 246-PAST ACQUAINTANCES 247-INCIDENT IN NEW ORLEANS 248-SHATTERED MINDS 249-TRIAL BY FAN 250-FINAL DEPARTURES 251-VISIONS OF PRETTY MAIDS, ALL IN A ROW 252-THE MOST UNIQUE CHRISTMAS OF ALL 253-SHRINKING SENSATION 254-ORPHAN BY CHOICE 255-FAMILY SECRETS 256-INTERNAL MATTERS 257-A WOLF IN SHEEP'S CLOTHING 258-SIREN SONG 259-DEEP IN THE HEART OF CHINA 260-PREMATURE INTERMENT 261-KILKRIE CRY 262-WOUNDS OF THE HEART 263-HAIL TO THE CHIEF 264-FROM NOW UNTIL DOOMSDAY ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- From: CMento6653@aol.com Subject: TPFICT: tcstephen and tyso--full seasons Date: 12 Apr 2000 16:15:10 EDT SPINOFFS STEPHEN AND TYSO 1983 to 1984 1-PERMANENT VACATION Stephen and Tyso settle in at the Trig, while an unseen menace threatens the Trig headquarters.

The Thargons were planning to invade Earth. 17-DOUBLE CROSS Stephen suspects a new agent recruit of being a spy for the Thargon Empire, but has trouble proving it until it is almost too late. The spy trapped both of them and they almost didn't get away. The Spy was planning to assassinate the head of the Federation Council. 18-STANDING ALONE Stephen and Tyso are left behind on a routine mission of diplomacy when Kolar orders an evacuation of personnel but neglects to inform the two, endangering their lives. The planet turned out to be hostile, except for the peace loving president and his aids. The people staged a revolution, which Kolar knew about in advance which would become evident in the next season of STEPHEN AND TYSO. We find out then that Kolar is power mad! 19-PROBLEMS SOLVED Tyso's attitude appear a bit dazed to Stephen and when he investigates he gets the surprise of his life.

Tyso hears rumors about a pirate ring kidnaping slaves on not so distant planets. Brian Robbins decides to join Stephen and Tyso. 26-THE HORNS OF TAIGAR Stephen works to put Jani out of his mind. Stephen and Tyso investigate the slave reports and discover an unusual ally named Taigar from the planet Edyrom. Taigar has naturally dark skin, black curly hair, orange-ish eyes, and two minute horns sticking out of his forehead at the hairline. He is also psi humanoid. Tyso and Stephen rescue him from a slaver colony. Tyso and Stephen find this ally when they are discovered trying to free slaves. 27-KOLAR'S FOLLY Kolar sends Brian on a suicide mission, angering Stephen. Tyso indoctrinates Taigar on Galactic Law.

Taigar falls into a trap set by slaver Magron (Sid Haig), intent on recapturing him. Brian learns of a secret in the Trig's construction. Kolar is not really evil, nor even bad, but a kind of galactic Richard Nixon--he wanted absolute power He is like Borusa in THE FIVE DOCTORS on DOCTOR WHO. Taigar is held in this story and the next two. 31-DENIAL Kolar denies all the accusations, claiming Stephen and Tyso want revenge for an earlier mission failure. Taigar manages to send an SOS, which is picked up by Brian. 32-FOLLOWING ORDERS Stephen and Tyso disobey Kolar's direct order and they go to save Taigar, who will surely die without their help.

Stephen and Brian follow up on a lead Liz gave them. Taigar keeps an eye on Kolar. 35-NO TURNING BACK Kolar's control of the Council backfires when Stephen leads Taigar, Tricia, Tyso, and Brian in resigning from the Galactic Agent Corps. Stephen plays a trump card while Kolar vows revenge. 36-FAST TRACK Kolar's identity is exposed after he lures Stephen and Taigar into a deadly trap, to use as bait for the rest who must decide whether to do battle or try and secretly help their friends. The battle that ensues could change Trig politics forever. Kolar, it turns out, was a ruler from a distant time who had been made immortal. Kolar was his current name. Previously he had been many people on many planets including King Henry VIII on Earth. 37-CHANGE OF VENUE The mass migration occurs following Kolar's defeat, as the former agents join Kenny Ararath (Stephen Salmon) and Carol Rounder (Sammie Winmill) at OVERMIND while keeping their status as private investigators, Trig Style. OVERMIND is a galactic peacekeeping organization like the UN on Earth. OVERMIND leader Selan (Carol Kane) tells them to behave and obey the rules but Stephen promptly breaks them when he picks up life signs on a planet devoid of life. 38-IN THE SHADOW OF A HAWK Hawk (Jeff Yagher--a real life model maker and actor--he was in one of the awful BIONIC WOMAN/SIX MILLION DOLLAR MAN reunion movies as a wheelchair bound son) tells his life story. He was a slave and had a recent escape. Hawk is a young alien humanoid who was not psionic. His powers are inborn--he could fly, instantly translate many languages, shoot forcefields from his fingertips, and heal people empathically. He can not hear telepathy. He is completely non psionic and has a code of justice that allowed him to kill if necessary while others were unable to even think of killing. He was originally from Prescdia V (also spelled as PRECEDIA V). Tricia answers a call from Sophostria. Carol speaks of feeling imminent danger for the entire universe. 39-BEST MAN WINS Hawk is surprised by an appearance by his twin brother Arik who intends to sell him elsewhere. Taigar is surprised by a records search. Liz calls Stephen about Time Guardian Peter's time flux. 40-COMING FROM A FAR PLACE Taigar and Tyso head for Taigar's home planet. Stephen and Selan begin investigating the time flux which is now growing slowly stronger. Toby from Earth visits with a plan to aid research on TIM for study. 41-FROM WITHIN...

Stephen and Peter the Time Guardian try to save Hawk. 42-WARNING BELL Stephen and Tyso bring Taigar and Hawk to Earth for the first time to rest after Arik's attack. Hawk, on an expedition with Brian, falls ill. Tyso visits Evergreen, his sister. 43-A SIGN FROM ABOVE SHALL BE AS SWEET Hawk is gravely ill, cause unknown.

Brian talks of returning home for good. 44-A CURRENT AFFAIR Hawk slowly recovers, thanks to Questor (John Stamos). Brian visits his family. Mike and Stephen talk about Mike coming home to Earth until what's happening is figured out. 45-TIL THE END OF ETERNITY Evergreen's distress call alerts Stephen and Hawk, who try to find her.

Taigar is nearly exposed while on the planet side, because of his horns. 46-DEADLY ENCOUNTER Stephen and Hawk try to figure out a way to escape their captor with Evergreen, Peter, and Zack. Brian tries to find Stephen and Hawk, with no success. Tyso dreams of Mike Bell but cannot reach him at first. Stephen and Hawk find out their captor is Jedikiah but even more so their is another captor behind this one---Detron! NOTES: All stories are in continuity with final season episodes of TP and a massive weeks long crossover story against Jedikiah and Detron. Thus, the seasons on all spinoffs were short to enable them to return to the parent series for several weeks. Overmind is a galactic thinktank. MY NOTES: Okay, this is better than STEPHEN AND TYSO season one but why are there so many alien characters in it that take the forefront: Hawk and Taigar are compelling enough though and unlike some other alien characters are well fleshed out here and in the future. Overmind in the original series was not fully explained but I could have thought Overmind was really a part of the Galactic Trig, so quitting the Trig to go to Overmind doesn't really make much sense. The crossovers are a good idea but there should have been some other way to show the logical procession of story lines and where they actually melded into each other. Overall, a good set of episodes here. 1985-1986 47-HEALING TOUCH Stephen and Tyso travel to the mysterious Xerox to ask aid of a mystic healer. Tricia puts Brian to rest. Taigar watches over Hawk, who lays dying in the Trig medcenter.

Arik prepares to once again try to kill his brother Hawk. Stephen expresses anger over Nydorra's trickery. 51-OVERMIND OBITUARY Arik attacks OVERMIND hq, with Hawk at less than peak condition. Radan makes his move on Tricia, who will have none of it. Nydorra tells Tyso what she does, she cannot help. Hawk fights his brother to a standoff. Nydorra is a priestess like ELAAN OF TROYUS and Noona from TREK's A PRIVATE LITTLE WAR. Her powers are all consuming and she cannot control the effects of her healing powers. 52-HAWK'S HEART Nydorra bores of toying with Hawk, causing confusion in the young man. Stephen tries to find a way to reverse Nydorra's well meant spell. Nydorra spurns Hawk when he professes his love for her, causing a problem. 53-IN THE BLINK OF AN EYE Hawk suffers from Nydorra's callous attitude. Tyso tries to reason with Stephen about getting rid of Nydorra. Taigar gets a call from Earth. 54-MED ALERT Hawk enters a mental coma, causing by Nydorra's severed link, which she refuses to reestablish. Taigar tells Radan to lay off Tricia.

Tricia and Selan cook up a plan to discourage Radan's relentless pursuit. 58-FAR FROM CIVILIZATION Taigar confronts Magron on loaded turf, with Stephen and Tyso close behind. Hawk and Nydorra come to an understanding about their relationship. 59-PAST PLANE Taigar delivers Magron to Galactic Prison. Stephen is approached for advice by Hawk on how to win Nydorra properly. An embarrassed Radon gets the message from Tricia. 60-HOWEVER MANY THERE ARE, THERE ARE NEVER ENOUGH Stephen puts his tiring foot down, his patience wearing thin. Nydorra and Hawk have a tentative date, Earth style. Tyso tries to figure out what is eating Stephen. 61-STEPHEN'S QUEST Stephen disappears for a few days leaving a frantic Tyso and the gang wondering what he is up to. Hawk spies a stranger hanging around OVERMIND. Nydorra receives a summons from Xerox. 62-WHAT'S GOING ON? Stephen returns, refusing to say where he has been, even to Tyso.

Tyso attempts to trace Stephen. 68-FINAL SPLIT Stephen's tape is played, explaining his motives and his grief over what he did to Hawk. Tyso's anger boils over to the point of a possible termination of friendship. Taigar and Tyso vow to track Stephen down. Stephen says his own goodbyes, in his own ways, and disappears. Stephen was fed up with being the one to always carry the burden of a great deal of their problems. STARTEAM FOUR---90 Minutes and aka STEPHEN AND TYSO 4-- part of Science Fiction Six In One Winter of 1986 69-BATTLE ROYALE Hawk's mindlock from Stephen is broken by Taigar. The newly christened Starteam Four then respond to a distress call from the Minion VII, asking for help from marauders invading their world but the entire planet is found to barren and full of deadly traps. Stephen left because he was fed up with being the one to always carry the burden of a great deal of their problems. 70-FROM THE ENDS OF THE GALAXY When Tyso and Hawk crashland on a planet where their respective powers are pretty much useless, it is up to Taigar and Tricia to find them from hundreds of planets in the sector they were last seen in. 71-MIND WARP Tyso catches a glimpse of Stephen in a dream, and heads up an expedition to find him, but Stephen is one step ahead of them. After going to Vindam, they discover that the Vindamises people are being exploited by a ruthless tyrant dictator. 72-THE POWERS THAT BE Hawk questions his own loyalty when he finds himself on a Thargon planet without remembering how he got there. It seems a bout of induced amnesia caused him to assassinate the president of the Galactic Council. But, then again, things are not always what they seem, as the team tries to stay one step ahead of Harry Steen and the authorities in finding and helping to clear Hawk of the deed. Hawk didn't do it. It was a native Thargon whose revolutionaries were planning to reopen the threat of war with the galaxy. The president of Tharga changed after the attack on Earth left Jani dead. This one was assassinated because he strove for peace for the empire and the universe. 73-CARBON COPY Hawk's twin Arik returns, this time leading a group of renegade psi beings, determined to destroy the team once and for all, not counting on them getting help from a surprise source. 74-FROM WHENCE THEY CAME A farewell of sorts as Tricia retires and Tyso, Hawk, and Taigar return to the Trig Agent Corps, only to be met with hostility being induced by an ambassador enemy of the Earth and the Tp, and especially Stephen. NOTES: Dean Lawrence leaves to PROJECT: MINDSTAR, Rodney Helal to OPERATION: PROTOTYPE, and Jeff Yagher to the TC version of THE OUTSIDERS and LIFELINE. MY NOTES ON THE WHOLE SERIES : I never could really like STEPHEN AND TYSO all that much. It was too much like the old STAR TREK series. Yet the whole team thing did provide some suitable stories. It was atmosphere I didn't think it had: I feel the Tp should left to less political, less military set ups such OVERMIND and the TRIG CORPS of agents. Left as individuals, I think the Tps could manage on their own but going off to help other worlds is not too bad. And it was difficult to think of either Tyso or Stephen as being a part of some corp. They were so individual, rebellious types, not military like soldiers. Another problem I had was that OVERMIND and the TRIG seemed to be part of ONE basic set up on the series, true that the show never really fully explored either group, let alone their relationship to one another but I think in hindsight, the groups were more myterious that way. Yet something had to be done to explore them and this series did that credibly. Again, however, many ideas were lifted almost whole sale from the first STAR TREK TV show. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- From: CMento6653@aol.com Subject: TPFICT: tctimegate-full Date: 12 Apr 2000 16:16:36 EDT TIME GATE 1983 to 1984 1-INTRODUCTIONS Peter is introduced to his new partner, Zack in an unsual manner---they are thrown into a 22nd century time warp together. 2-WHERE EVER THEY MAY FALL The Guardians investigate unusal time traffic near the planet Minos XII, which doesn't know about time travel yet. 3-KEEPER OF THE OCEAN Peter, investigating the lost Earth city of Atlantis, uncovers a plot to assassinate the president of the doomed city. 4-FOLLIES GALACTIC On leave for good work, Peter and Zack run into an old menace, one that has held a grudge against the Peter since 1AD: Gaius! 5-LONG MAY THEY WAVE Going to the assistance of an old friend of Peter's grandfather Zenon (played now by Danny Kaye, whom I like but cannot understand why TC couldn't just use the man who played Zenon in A RIFT IN TIME), ally Zack gets taken hostage by a renegade Time Guardian named Tempest, who wants to use the time lanes to invade other worlds. Tempest seems to be played by Leonard Nimoy in later stories but may or may not be him here. 6-RENEGADE Peter and Zack track the renegade Tempest, a troublemaker, through time, where he has set up shop in 21st century Earth. 7-ERIK THE WRONG On Minaria, Peter and Zack befriend a homeless boy on the run from local authorities who turns out to be somewhat of a surprise to the Guardians. 8-FANTASTIC JOURNEY On Earth in the year 1232, Zack and Peter try to set right a chain of events started by an accidental time rift, one that could wipe out Earth's history as they know it. 9-HOLD AN OLD FRIEND'S HAND When Peter intercepts a call from Carol Rounder, requesting assistance, it turns out to be a potentially deadly trap for both Guardians Peter and Zack. 10-PEACHY KEEN While on leave, Zack has a reaction to the plants of Graon, leaving him without powers, while Peter tries to come up with the cure for his friend. 11-TEMPEST The renegade Time Guardian returns, hoping to kidnap Peter to use a leverage against Zenon. 12-ROME FREE While in Caesar's Rome, Peter and Zack are mistaken for two local criminals, and sentenced to face the lions. 13-BACKWARD BOUNCE Zenon falls ill, leaving Peter in charge of the Time Lanes and Zack in charge of finding a cure for Zenon. 14-DEBUT NIGHT A new Guardian beings to misuse his powers while in a distant time, leaving Peter and Zack to follow and set him straight. 15-NOW AND THEN Peter suffers delusions while ill as Zack tries to find a way to return home while prisoners of an alien Time Lord.

The old Time Guardian fnids out he was dying from a hereditary gene problem, he hadn't seen his estranged children, who were off on their own missions in some other time or times. NOTES: The series resembled NBC's VOYAGERS! with Peter and Zack trying to correct mistakes in time, usually with a great deal of science fiction adventure. Zack was played by Lee Curreri, the long haired actor of FAME on TV in the late 1970s and through the 1980s. 1984 TO 1985 17-TO EACH HIS OWN Lalla, Peter's cousin, graduates from the Guardian academy and joins her cousin and his partner Zack when the are sent to investigate an unlawful use of the Time Lanes near Marcus II.

Daimal is played by Tony O'Dell of the insipid 1980s TV show OTHERWORLD. 24-DAIMAL As they continue to help the underground, Peter, Zack and Lalla discover a special slave with incredible powers. With the slave ring uncovered and broken up, Daima (Tony O'Dell) decides to follow the Guardians wherever their defective time discs take them. 25-ON EARTH Zack and Lalla, after ending up on Earth, follow up on the cries of a little girl being whisked out of a shopping mall in the year 1972. Lydia Randall (Soleil Moon Frye of PUNKY BREWSTER) is this girl. 26-RESCUE The time travellers must rescue Lydia Randall from her abductors following the death of her parents in an accident while on their way to deliver the ransom the kidnappers had demanded.

Daimal feels the beginnings of something toward Lalla. Lydia tries to adjust to her new life. 28-FREEZING ZONE After the attempt to fix the discs fails, Peter finds out his disc is no longer working. Lalla and Daimal begin to work together on a plan to fix the problems. 29-A WAY TO GO Having fixed the discs to work on a field rather than personal levels, the travellers use them again and end up on a hostile planet where a bounty hunter is on trial for murdering the leader of the planet. Kerchon (Bill Beyers) plans an escape attempt, helped by the unwitting time travellers. He is a mix of Turlough from DOCTOR WHO and Okona from STAR TREK: THE NEXT GENERATION but is also like the renegade cowboy in the mini series specials DESPERADO. Lydia found out something about him later on. 30-FOREVER COMES ETERNITY Lydia struggles to understand her parents' death in her own time while coping with her new friends and surroundings. Daimal has his first taste of love.

Lydia has found out that the bounty hunter Kerchon has a connection to the Time Guardians. 1985 TO 1986 34-THE RETURN Zack and Peter find themselves back with the other travellers after the explosion which killed Detron. The slaves on Marta V ask Daimal to stay behind to help their cause. Lalla and Daimal say goodbye. 35-WARP HOLE On the planet Demos, Kerchon finds himself growing fond of his companions. Lydia is befriended by the daughter of the scientist trying to repair the damaged time discs. Delana, the daughter (Kim Fields), elects to go with the travellers in search of advevture. 36-WAY BACK WHEN Prehistoric Earth leaves a bad taste in the travellers mouths as their powers fade out following an attack by a brontosaurus. Lalla despairs for his missing lover Daimal. Zack jumpstarts the discs using a crude flint device, jerking the travellers even farther off course. 37-ANDANTE QO The Guardians and friends land on a devastated planet from sometime in the future. Andante Qo (Rene Ferrait of MENUDO's early years), the lone survivor of the holocaust looks for companionship. Kerchon finds a rune stone that could mean trouble. 38-TRACKING ERROR Trapped on Andante's planet for the time being, the travellers find themselves in trouble with the return of the marauders who decimated the planet's population. Andante vows revenge for his people. A time warp brings a stunned college student to the Guardian's aid at the last minute. Rick Martino (Bryan Scott) is his name. 39-FRIENDLY ENCOUNTER Rick Martino is puzzled about where he is and how he got there. Peter and Zack discover Tempest is behind their predicament and is toying with them. Lydia and Kerchon explain the facts to Rick. Andante attempts to fix the time discs, to no avail. 40-PLANET POWER Erixia native Kelli Branch (Janet Fielding of DOCTOR WHO), planet librarian (similar to the library in STAR TREK'S ALL OUR YESTERDAYS), tries to help in the quest for answers. Rick puts his physics major to the test on the time discs. Delana takes her leave while Kelli volunteers to join the group. 41-FALLING FAST As Peter and Zack understand more and more about their problem, Andante and Kerchon offer a possible solution. Kelli finds a mysterious statue on Zarnon, while the boys put their plan into action. The problem was the malfuctioning time discs. Solution: Andante wanted to fuse the three errant disks together, creating a massive disk, using the means at their disposal. 42-WORKING TITLE As the Guardians struggle to make their plan work, Lydia and Kelli stumble onto a plot to kill Kerchon, who is known by the locals. Andante becomes entangled in the plot and is captured for his troubles. He was the unwitting decoy for the local bunch that were after Kerchon from Kerchon's bounty hunting days. NOTES: Peter and Zack knew all their history and didn't have to consult their history books often. The second season had some of the characters leave to join the TP story during TIME GATE's second season. MY NOTES ON OBLIGATIONS--MAJOR SPOILERS for that story which was written by me, Charles Mento: In my full length story TIME GATE is finally concluded: Peter, Zack and Lalla find a way back and to remain in their own time in the far future of the 26th century. They try to find a way to rescue the others and do--but too late for Rick, for he is killed. Their intervention gets Andante, Kelli, and Lydia to the TP in the year 1991 where they meet Rico, Rollin, Landen, Borj, and others. Andante gets his revenge as we meet the race that destroyed his people, visit their planet and have his funeral on his own world, Massimo. Kelli returns to Erixia and we later find out in another story that she is pregnant with his baby son Ante. Rick is killed on the planet Rates, the planet that spawned the killers of Andante's people. Lydia goes to Kelli's planet where Delana is. Kerchon, having gone insane from battling the pirate boys on the planet Rates, destroys that planet is thought blown up with the entire planet. Andante is killed, accidentally, by Chad Llwellyn, brother of Toby and the renegade TP, who was trying to kill Rico Perera, whom he feared. Survivors of Rates, pirate boys in training, are left on Earth...and are very difficult to stun, kill, and find. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- From: CMento6653@aol.com Subject: TPFICT: tcpoint of no return 1 to 47 Date: 12 Apr 2000 16:17:50 EDT POINT OF NO RETURN NOTES: Ambassador Timus and hs close clone brother Tikno to the planet Sharonna where an evil despot had taken over some nine years earlier, stopping psionic life just before it had started to emerge. Although the first attack was unsuccessful, five of the Tomorrow People teamsup with the rightful heirs t the throne, Dreidal and Adrianna and stayed behind to continue the fight to free the people of Sharonna. Mike, Barney, Barb, Tawny and JJ were the Tomorrow People while Ankor and Alexia the rulers out to destroy them. Alexia eventually took over herself, killing Ankor and sentencing his son, one of the rebel underground to death. In this series, the Tp had to seem a bit more violent here, preferring to face direct combat. This has a lot to do with the fact that somehow, there had to be adventure without the use of special powers, since there was a psi dampner located somewhere on the planet. The evil rulers' Hunter named Simon is the age of the Tp while Alexia and Ankor are middle aged. Jan to June 1984 1-FROM THE STARS Under the guidance of Sharonna natives Adrianna (Erin Moran) and her younger brother Dreidal Dweezil Zappa), the five Tomorrow People learn the layout of the planet, while Premier Ankor (Nicolas Coster) and Mistress Alexia (Marj Dusay) plot to kill the newcomers. 2-IN THE GARDEN Adrianna and Dreidal tell the Tomorrow People their planet's struggle against the evil Ankor, who stole the throne from their parents, who were killed trying to provide freedom of their children. 3-BALANCE OF POWER Ankor tests the limited abilities of the five Tomorrow People in secret. Alexia conjures up a vision of the future. Mike and the others adjust to limited powers. 4-FORTRESS OF EVIL Mike and Barney make plans to storm the castle. Tawny discovers that Sharonnites will become Tomorrow People if Ankor's dampener can be found and turned off. 5-DANGEROUS TREK Miek and Barney, with Dreidal as guide, set off for the castle. Hunter (his title not his name) Simor (Robert Romanus) finds the group's hidden headquarters. Ankor prepares a trap for those headed for the castle. 6-TRAPDOOR Mike and Dreidal are captured by Alexia's magic. Alexia is a true sorceress and her powres are not telepathic. Simor invades the refuge but the others have already deserted it. An injured Barney heads for the old encampment, not knowing it was abandoned. 7-FALSE ECHO Alexia takes a liking to Mike, who is repulsed by her tactics. Ankor sentences Dreidal to slow death by torture. JJ and Tawny return to the abandoned camp to find Barney. 8-CYCLONE Barney tells the others that Ankor somehow expected them. Mike plans to make use of Alexia's fascination to escape. Barb and Barney reflect on what they left back on Earth. Dreidal undergoes horrendous torture while Ankor watches with a smile. 9-TWO STORIES DOWN Driedal refuses to join Ankor and Alexia, angering them further. Mike desperately tries to find out what part of the castle Dreidal is being held in. JJ and Tawny find a local who claims to know of a secret path into the castle. 10-RESCUE PARTY Tawny, Adrianna, and Mistok head for the caves, with Simor on their trail. Mike overcomes a guard and heads into the bowels of the castle to find Dreidal. Alexia senses the presence of more TP but cannot find the right trail. 11-ON THIS SIDE OF LIFE Mike finds Dreidal near death. Simor alerts Ankor to the caves and what is coming through them. Tawny pushes on alone while the others wait in the safety of the caves. Mike and Tawny find each other just as Ankor launches his assault. 12-PASSIVE RESISTANCE Tawny and Mike, with a fragile Dreidal in two, hole up in a lower part of the castle, trying to wait out Ankor and Simor. Barb arrives in the cave with news heard in the village about the ambush. JJ undertakes a dangerous mission when he tries to locate Ankor's dampener. Ankor makes a mistake, allowing the three trapped freedom fighters to slip back to the caves and safety. 13-FURY Ankor and Simor blame each other for the escapes until Alexia puts her foot down. Dreidal hangs between life and death, his wounds seriously infected. JJ, out with two villagers, is captured by Ankor's guard. Adrianna and Barb try to locate a healer for Dreidal. 14-MEDICINE MAN Barney and Mike are repulsed by the man professing to be a refuguee doctor, brought back to the village by Barb and Adrianna to treat Dreidal. JJ refuses to tell Alexia anything until she finds a spell that could change his mind. The doctor reveals his true mission when he injects the young prince with a deadly poison. 15-SEE NO EVIL A brainwashed JJ returns to the village, the others not suspecting he is in Alexia's control. Mike, Adrianna, and Barb race time to find the elusive antidote to save Dreidal's life. Barney cares for a hallucinating Dreidal. Tawny becomes suspicious when JJ makes a mistake. Simor attacks the village and takes Tawny, Barney, and Dreidal hostage, snapping an ignored JJ back to normal. JJ leaves the village undetected, and races time to find Mike and the others. JJ had been bugged, unbeknowst to him and led Simor and his troops back to the camp. He didn't know he was bugged ergo it wasn't his fault that the camp was attacked. This if found out going into Season three: found out in the 1985 to 1986 season. Sept 1984 to 1985 16-ARRIVAL JJ finds Mike and the others and tells them what has happened at the village. Simor realizes JJ is missing, and reports to Alexia. Dreidal lapses into a coma, only hours away from death. Barney and Tawny struggle to free themselves from their bindings in order to save Dreidal. Mike and company launch an attack, surprising Simor and run Simor and his troops out of the village. Dreidal is given the antidote and later wakes, much to everyone's relief. 17-BUGOUT The group prepares to find a new camp, now that Simor and his maters know the location of the village. Dreidal tells Barney about how it was before Ankor took power and of the fears that still linger with him after seven years. Mike lets JJ know he isn't to blame for the attack and what happened. JJ didn't know he was bugged. The bug is what lead Simor and troops to attack their camp. 18-POST MORTEUM The group finds an underground fortress left behind from the war and sets up shop. Dreidal ventures outside, with help from Barney. Adrianna accues JJ of being follish, which he readily admits, surprising her. Ankor, angry with both Alexia and Simor, steams and orders the rebels to be found, no matter where they went. 19-HOT PEPPERS Mike and Barney talk with locals about the best way to defeat Ankor and Alexia. JJ and Adrianna take some time off together, each confessing their feelings for one another. Dreidal and Tawny go exploring in the nearby forest, and find a surprise. 20-SPRINGS UNDERGROUND The under spring found by Tawny and Dreidal turns out to have certain elements, strengthening the Tomorrow People's power to a degree. Simor captures one of the villagers from Arie and takes the small town over. A messenger from Arie alerts the group to their trouble with Simor. 21-LIBERATION DAY Mike and Dreidal come up with a plan to run Simor and his troops out of Arie. Tawny acts as bait for one of Simor's troops, but is captured when the plan backfires. Simor offers the village intact for the surrender of Dreidal and Adrinna. 22-BARGAINS Tawny watches helplessly as Simor baits his friends, who do not know he was captured. Dreidal plans to give himself up until Barney discovers what the young man is up to. Mike and JJ infiltrate Simor's guard, not knowing Alexia has seen this happening in a vision. 23-BLOW-UP Simor surprises Mike and JJ, who end up with the captured Tawny. Alexia uses her magical skills to force the location of the others from Mike, wanting revenge for his earlier trickery. Dreidal secretly enters the village in disguise, with a plan to unite the villagers. 24-REVOLT OF ARIE Alexia offers Mike a proposition too good to refuse, but he does. Dreidal pleads before the village Council of Elders, and persuades them to aid his cause. Adrianna and Barb cause a distraction for Simor and Alexia. The villagers follow Dreidal in attacking the troops, running them out of the area. 25-BACK FROM THE DEAD After the troops are routed, a village elder tells Dreidal and Adrianna that their father may still be alive. Tawny soucts out the castle, very carefully. Alexia reveals her latest plan to Ankor, who applaudes her efforts at pleasing him. Alexia's plan: to convince Dreidal that his father is still alive. 26-POSSESSION Dreidal is obsessed with finding his longlost father, despite Adrianna's skepticism. A guard working for Alexia is disguised as a peasant and named Marout. Alexia used magic to return him to the castle to hel persuade Dreidal and Tawny of his authenticity. Marout leads Dreidal and Tawny to the place where Erik was last seen, then disappears before the stunned boys. Mike finds out about the expedition a little too late, after getting information from a former guard. Dreidal and Tawny are snared by Alexia's devious plan. 27-MISSING MEN The group finds that Tawny and Dreidal have disappeared off the face of the planet or at least it seems so. Alexia deceives Ankor, by not revealing her two captives to him. Tawny and Dreidal try a frantic escape attempt, which ends in failure. 28-SEARCH PARTY Mike suspects Alexia's magic of being responsible for the boys' disappearance but cannot find the proof. Ankor continues to fall for Alexia's bluff. Simor discovers Alexia's deceit and her captives but is unable to take them for himself due to her spell. Dreidal fights a reoccurance of infection from his old wounds while trying to keep Tawny from succumbing to the concussion he sustained in their escape attempt. 29-BACKTRACK Simor tells Ankor the truth of Alexia's lies. Tawny, having beat his injuries, works with a feverish Dreidal to find a way out of Alexia's trap. Mike infiltrates the castle to confront Alexia,, who is on the carpet before Ankor for her deceit. 30-MAGICAL BONDAGE Mike confronts Alexia face to face, with a proposition to give himself up in exchange for Tawny and Dreidal's freedom. Ankor discusses his doubts about Alexia with a sympathetic Simor, who is anxious to gain favor in Ankor's eyes. Alexia, behind Ankor's back, agrees to Mike's proposal, on the condition that he never try to escape, or all of the group will suffer. 31-DOWN AND DIRTY Mike plots to offest Alexia at the prisoner exchange. Alexia sees Mike's deceit in a vision, while continuing to undermine Ankor's authority. Simor hatches a plot to get rid of Alexia and the rebels at the prisoner exchange, which he has foundout about and alerts Ankor, too. 32-EXCHANGE OF LIVES Alexia brings Tawny and Dreidal to the exchange site, where Mike awaits their arrival. Simor and Ankor surround the area, unbeknowst to either party. Tawny, onto Alexia's plan, tries to warn Mike but is stopped by the witch. As the exchange is taking place and Mike is sending the boys home, Ankor and Simor arrive to kill all of them. 33-MURDER PLOT Alexia unleashes her full power on both Ankor and Simor but allow Mike, Tawny, and Dreidal to escape in the process. Alexia takes charge of the planet, making both Ankor and Simor her obedient slaves and choosing a guard to train as an assassin to send after Adrianna. Mike learns of the revolt in the castle and goes to check it out. 34-EARTH BOUND Mike uses his limtied resources to contact Elizabeth on Earth, who agrees to his plan. JJ refuses to let Adrianna go to Earth alone and along with Tawny, decides to accompany her. Ditor begins his enchanted stalking, and discovers the rebel plan to send Adrianna to the home planet of the offworlders. Using the Trig, Tawny, Adrianna, and JJ return to Earth, while Alexia uses magic to send Ditor after them. JJ, Tawny, Adrianna have adventures on Earth in GROUND ZERO series. 35-THERE IS NOTHING LIKE A WOMAN SCORNED Alexia finds she cannot leave in the same way she sent Ditor and blows her top. Mike vows to stop Alexia whatever the cost. Barb and Barney have a small picnic. Dreidal finds a royal treasure buried in the forest. 36-SUMMONS Mike wakes from a dream, seeing trouble on Earth, and tells the others they need to return home at least briefly. Alexia tries to discover how to use her abilities to make her toally invincible. Mike contacts Liz again, who sends word that several Tomorrow People are missing. The group decide to return home for a time and Dreidal insists on going along with them, in return for their help. 37-BACK HOME AGAIN On Earth, Mike and Liz discuss what has been happening. Dreidal has his first experience with jaunting since his seventh year of age. Mike plans a strategy with Toby to find the missing Tomorrow People. Barney and Dreidal disappear from the satellite. NOTES: All stories are n continuity with the final season episodes of the Tp and a massive weeks long crossover story. The seasons on all spinoffs were short to enable the characters from each series to return to the parent series for several weeks. In short: we get a big mess. To make matters even more interesting or confusing, JJ, Tawny, and Adrianna go to Earth in the episode EARTHBOUND leading directly to the series GROUND ZERO. They are chased by Ditor (Greg Bensen). 1985 TO 1986 38-RESURRECTION Following their adventure on Earth, Mike, Barney, Barb, and Dreidal return to Sharonna to find the rebel movement in the hadns of a rash young man, who wants to try the off worlds and the young prince for treason for leaving the planet for several weeks. His name is Kodar (Brian Backer). 39-FLIGHT OF FANCY Mike convinces Kodar that they can work together to vanquish Alexia and her growing meglomania. Barney and Alena, a village girl, accidentally capture Ankor's onlly offspring, Brittion (John Scott Clough of the movie FAST FORWARD). Brittion claims to hate his father but tells the rebels that Alexia has enchanted nearly everyone and Brittion wants to join the battle. 40-TRIAL BY FIRE Kodar and the villagers distrust Brittion, who volunteers for a dangerous mission to prove himself to them. Brittion and Dreidal head for the castle to check on Alexia. Alexia begins to experiment with her growing powers and finds they could lead her off the planet to world domination all over the universe. 41-BRITTION'S FOLLY In order to avoid capture, Brittion exposes Barney, who brands the young man a traitor, as do the rest when his deception is heard of. Brittion has a plan of his own, and takes matters into his own hands to prove his sincerity. Alexia sends her troops, led by Simor into the countryside. NOTE: Can anyone understand the first two sentences of this episode? 42-OVERHEARD Brittion tells Barney of his plan and Barney realizes that Ankor's son is truly on their side. Kodar is injured during an attack on the rebel camp. Brittion finds the new source of power Alexis is using but doesn't know how to destroy it. Dreidal's royal treasure reveals a magical weapon. 43-FOLLOW THE DOG Ankor performs Alexia's every wish. Alexia's power source is revealed to Barney as Brittion stealthily leads him to freedom. Barney confirms Mike's suspicions about Alexia's newfound powers. Ankor captures his son Brittion and under Alexia's influence, sentences him to death. Brittion knows the way through the secret passageways that line the underbelly of the castle. His guidance was necessary for Barney to be able to escape. 44-POWER OF THE SPHERE Mike risks discovery to see Alexia's newly installed power crystal. News of Brittion's capture reaches the camp. Dreidal and Alena steal inside the castle to try and free Brittion before his father's sentence can be carried out but are caught in the process. 45-FROM THE DIARY OF A PREMIER'S SON Dreidal and Alena are forced to become witnesses to Brittion's execution. Brittion remembers happier times with his father before the usurpation. Mike conceives a plan to resuce all prisoners. 46-PATTERNS OF FORCE Mike, Barney, and nearly 100 rebels lead a frontal assault on the castle, creating a diversion as Kodar slips into the castle to fre Dreidal, Alena, and Brittion. Alexia decides to squash the rebel forces once and for all and uses the crystal to capture everyone of the rebel leaders. 47-DEADLY DAWN As the entire group await Alexia's decree of execution, Mike and Barney come up with ways to strengthen their powers, using Alexia's power crystal. Alexia orders the deat of all the rebel leaders. Mike is selected as the first to be executed. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- From: CMento6653@aol.com Subject: TPFICT: tc specs Date: 12 Apr 2000 16:20:19 EDT Okay I am new at this: THE TOMORROW PEOPLE TC universe original series plus extensions into the 1980s and 1999s TCTP seasons 1 to 7 of 9 Stephen and Tyso-complete TIME GATE-full PLUS spoilers for OBLIGATIONS Point of No Return-episodes 1 to 47 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- From: Jeffl1965@aol.com Subject: Re: TPFICT: tcstephen and tyso--full seasons Date: 12 Apr 2000 16:23:46 EDT In a message dated 4/12/00 3:16:05 PM Central Daylight Time, CMento6653@aol.com writes: > Subj: TPFICT: tcstephen and tyso--full seasons > Date: 4/12/00 3:16:05 PM Central Daylight Time > From: CMento6653@aol.com > Sender: owner-tpfict@lists.xmission.com > Reply-to: tpfict@lists.xmissi on.com > To: tpfict@lists.xmission.com > > SPINOFFS > Thanks for posting these!!!

Summary: Dark forces seek to destroy both the Legacy and the Tomorrow People, with a surprising enemy in particular. I=92d like to thank Kristin, my long-suffering beta-reader who has stuck = with me through five fics now, as well as Deb and Laura for providing me with detailed character sketches of Barbara Rayne. Thanks, guys! (If there a= re any mistakes, blame me! :-) ) Family Ties A Tomorrow People/Poltergeist: The Legacy Crossover Chapter One Control Room, Angel Island, San Francisco =93So what exactly are we looking for?=94 Nick asked as Derek stepped th= rough the holographic entryway. =93Anything to suggest why the Blessed Mother statue at St. Mary=92s is weeping,=94 the Dutchman responded. =93Gee, that really narrows it down,=94 Nick muttered as Derek passed him= and entered his office. Derek smiled briefly, but did not let Nick know he h= ad heard the comment. Things had been somewhat slow around the Legacy as of late, and they were all getting a bit =93stir-crazy,=94 as Alex had put i= t. He took a deep breath as the doors of his office slid shut behind him. E= ven Derek himself was beginning to feel slightly restless. To make it worse, the holiday season was nearing, and that usually meant trouble of one kin= d or another for those who stood vigilant against the darkness. The Dark s= ide just couldn=92t seem to let this season of peace and goodwill go by witho= ut trying to ruin it. Walking to his desk, Derek gratefully sank into his comfortable chair. After a moment, he spun around to face the window, hoping the panoramic view of the skyline would calm his nerves. Even that majestic cityscape, though, couldn=92t do more than take the ed= ge off. Sighing, the Precept turned back to his desk and began digging thro= ugh the ubiquitous mounds of paperwork that were the hallmark of the Luna Foundation, as well as the Legacy. He had barely picked up his pen when the phone on his desk began shrilly ringing. Grateful for the interruption, Derek snatched up the receiver. =93Derek Rayne.=94 =93Sir, it=92s Jonathan, from the front gate. There=92s someone here to = see you, sir.=94 Derek=92s face went pale as the gatekeeper relayed the visitor=92= s identity. Hanging up the phone, he strode out of his office and into the Control Room. =93Derek, are you okay? You look like you=92ve just seen a ghost!=94 Al= ex exclaimed with concern upon seeing her Precept=92s pale face. =93You could say that,=94 was the only response she got as Derek stepped = through the hologram. She glanced over at Nick, who shrugged in response. ****** The Foyer, Angel Island Derek smiled bemusedly as he paused to straighten his tie in the mirror. =91I=92m a grown man, and I still worry about what she=92ll think of me!=92= he thought to himself with a slight chuckle. Finally satisfied with his appearance, he strode towards the door just in time to hear someone knock= ing on the other side. The Dutchman took a deep breath before swinging the d= oor open. =93Mother! What a pleasant surprise!=94 he exclaimed. Barbara Rayne smi= led in return. Surprisingly youthful in appearance, she had the bearing of a Russian countess, and impeccable style to match. =93Oh, really, dear? From the look on your face, I=92d think you were go= ing to the guillotine,=94 she replied to her son=92s greeting. Derek grimaced, = and then hastily schooled his expression into one of pleasure. =93Aren=92t y= ou going to invite me in?=94 Abashed, Derek stepped aside to allow his moth= er to enter. Ever vigilant, Domenic, the major domo, appeared seemingly out of nowhere, and took Mrs. Rayne=92s bags. =93Will your mother be staying long, sir?=94 the proper British manservan= t asked. =93That depends, Domenic,=94 Derek replied, with a glance at his mother. = =93on exactly why my mother has made this unannounced visit.=94 =93Haven=92t you guessed, Derek?=94 Barbara asked with a smile. =93I=92= ve come to meet my granddaughter. Take my things to the Green Room, please, Domenic= .=94 ****** Taphini Island, The Ship Adam Newman lay curled up on his mattress, a framed photograph clutched i= n his hand. He stared past it, his eyes filled with tears. =91How could she do this to me?=92 he wondered. =91How could she fake he= r own death?!=92 Overcome, the Australian threw the picture across the chamber= and buried his head in his arms, ignoring the sound of the glass in the pictu= re frame shattering. The Ship produced a worried-sounding melody. =93Just leave me alone!=94 Adam cried, his voice muffled by his arms. T= he Ship continued its attempts to comfort him, but they went unheard. After a moment, the alien computer became silent. A second later, a flash of light filled the chamber, and quickly faded to reveal Ami, who appeared quite worried. She began to move towards Adam, = but paused when she noticed the smashed picture by her feet. She knelt over = the shattered picture, and gingerly piled the pieces of broken glass on top o= f the framed picture. Picking up the damaged photograph, Ami walked over towards Adam=92s limp form on the futon and set the picture down next to = him. Settling herself on the edge of the mattress, Ami reached a hand out and squeezed Adam=92s arm. =93It=92s okay, Adam,=94 she whispered to him. =93Carrie can fix it, I=92= m sure.=94 The only response she got was a muffled moan. =93Come on, Adam, why don=92= t you tell me what=92s bothering you?=94 The Australian remained silent. =93D= oes it have something to do with this picture?=94 Ami asked, tapping a finger o= n the edge of the frame. She got no verbal answer, but Adam did raise his eyes and glare at her angrily. Intrigued, Ami quickly pursued this line of questioning. =93Who is she Adam? A relative?=94 she asked as she peered= at the old picture. Indeed, the picture=92s subject did share the Australian=92= s dark hair and eyes. A hand suddenly snaked out and covered the picture. Ami looked up in surprise to see Adam had fully raised his face and she quickly noticed hi= s eyes were red and puffy. =93Have you been crying?=94 she asked. Adam ducked his head, but Ami pre= ssed on. =93What happened Adam? What did she do?=94 A sudden thought struck= her. =93Or was something done to her? Was she killed?=94 Adam glanced at his= fellow teleporter sharply, and then took a deep breath. =93The woman in the picture is my mother. She died with my dad in a car = crash when I was ten. Or, at least, that=92s what I thought=85=94 Adam reveale= d, carefully studying Ami=92s face. =93Oh, Adam!=94 Ami exclaimed, reaching out to comfort him, but the Aust= ralian edged away. He wasn=92t ready for comfort, at least not yet. =93I always thought she had died in that crash--but all that changed the = other night. When we went up against that cult,=94 Adam continued, as Ami sat = in shocked silence. =93I=92m positive I saw her with them--as their leader.= =94 ****** Angel Island, The Living Room Derek and Barbara Rayne sat on the sofa in the luxurious room, quietly catching up and making small talk. Once he had taken his mother upstairs= to =93freshen up=94 before meeting her granddaughter, Derek had gone to Carr= ie=92s room to tell her of their visitor. Unfortunately, the room was empty, an= d Carrie was nowhere to be found. After a fruitless search of the House an= d grounds from the Control Room, Derek had made a mental note to get his daughter a cellular phone or at least a pager, and had hastily ushered hi= s mother into the living room to await his daughter=92s return. =93Frankly, Mother, I wish you had called first,=94 Derek told his mother= as he poured tea from a sterling silver pot Domenic had thoughtfully brought in. =93I=92m surprised you weren=92t expecting me to visit, dear,=94 Barbara = replied as she accepted the steaming cup her son offered her with a perfectly manicu= red hand. =93After all, you called me out of the blue one day, and told me I= had a granddaughter I had never met! I talked to her for approximately twent= y minutes, and then=85nothing!=94 =93Yes, well, things have been a little busy around here,=94 her son repl= ied uncomfortably, keeping one eye on the doorway. =91Where is she?=92 he wo= ndered. =91It=92s not like her to disappear without at least leaving a note.=92 =93I=92m certain they have--the Legacy has a way of taking up most of you= r time, I know,=94 his mother replied. =93But still, you could have at least had= her call me again, or write a letter!=94 A sudden flash of light just outsid= e the doorway drew both of their attentions before the discussion could escalat= e. =93Alex? I got that stuff=85=94 Carrie=92s voice trailed off as she ente= red the room, shopping bags hooked over one arm. Dressed in a faded sweatshirt a= nd ancient jeans, she seemed out of place in the elegant room. =93Oh, I=92m= sorry I interrupted, I was looking for Alex,=94 the redhead explained, beginnin= g to back out of the room. Derek quickly rose from his seat and grabbed her hand. =93No, please, we were waiting for you. Carrie, this is someone I=92d li= ke you to meet,=94 Barbara Rayne rose and approached her granddaughter with a wa= rm smile and an outstretched hand. =93Hello, dear, I=92m your grandmother.=94 Carrie=92s eyes went wide as = her free hand involuntarily reached to meet her grandmother=92s. The elder woman chuckled at her shocked silence. =93I know you weren=92t expecting me,=94= she began, but Carrie cut her off. =93Oh, no, I=92m thrilled to finally meet you,=94 she broke in, glaring d= aggers at her father, who simply shrugged with an amused smile. =93It=92s just tha= t this is kind of a bad time=85Um, I=92ll be right back.=94 She quickly exited = the room, leaving her father and grandmother to glance at each other in confusion. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- From: Jeffl1965@aol.com Subject: Re: TPFICT: tcstephen and tyso--full seasons Date: 12 Apr 2000 21:57:46 EDT In a message dated 4/12/00 8:07:49 PM Central Daylight Time, CMento6653@aol.com writes: > Subj: Re: TPFICT: tcstephen and tyso--full seasons > Date: 4/12/00 8:07:49 PM Central Daylight Time > From: CMento6653@aol.com > Sender: owner-tpfict@lists.xmission.com > Reply-to: tpfict@lists.xmissi on.com > To: tpfict@lists.xmission.com > > I will.

Would Trevor still have the discs,or did he wipe them when he tired of TC's crap? Dianne has given me her permission to repost her earlier stuff,as she's lost most of it due to a complete 'puter failure of her old Commodore that she used to write them on. I dont have anyway to translate them,but I do know someone who could try to get the unit up and running at least long enough to transfer the stories to DOS formatted discs,and I hope that WordPerfect can translate them. Dianne never responded to my offer to assit her in that. I hope that she's planning on doing that,or trying to handling the daunting task of retyping all of her work,which i feel is worth it, IMHO.

Alexia orders the deat of all the rebel leaders. Mike is selected as the first to be executed. 48-TAUNTS ARE PAINFUL Mike, in front of Alexia's firing squad, taunts the witch into casting a certain spell, which she does in a rage. His powers fully restored, Mike jaunts away just as the firing squad pull their triggers. Mike and Barney use Alexia's power crystal to restore the powers of all the captive Tomorrow People as well as Dreidal. Mike finds the location of the psi dampner. Alexia was angered into delivering a spell that restored the powers of the Earth group partially. They had always retained a small amount of their abilities; and her spell was unreversable, was made even stronger, hence, Mike was able to jaunt away from her completely, rather than just a few feet as before. 49-POSSIBILITIES ARE ENDLESS As Alexia rages about being tricked, the rebels use their partially restored powers to plot a raid on the dampner, to restore powers to all Sharonittes who may possess them. Alexia places a shield around her power crystal, knowing Mike and the others know its location. 50-FALSE FRONT As Mike and Brittion lead the fight to the dampner, Alexia presents an illusion of winning, until Mike and Brittion realize what is happening, too late. One third of the rebels are destroyed by Alexia, with Simor as her willing assistant. Mike and Brittion cling to life with their fingertips, as Mike tries desperately to telepath a message back to the about to be attacked camp. Alexia used magic to camoflage her troops until it was too late for the others to escape---they got cut off and were surrounded by her troops without knowing it. 51-SLAUGHTER Alexia pushes her troops to the limit, but none of the leaders are found, having jaunted away at the last second. Mike and Brittion fight Alexia's illusions to try and discover where their prison is located. Alexia decides to kill Ankor. 52-A DAY IN HELL Mike realizes where he and Brittion are. Dreidal finds Mike, who tells Brittion to say away from the castle, despite Alexia's plans. Brittion determines to save his father, despite orders and his own fear of the witch. 53-PARTIAL BLUEPRINT Brittion is injured and is not in time to save his father who is executed by Alexia before his eyes. Mike and Barney use their powers to look for a way into the real building housing the psi dampener. Simor leads the way in the war against the rebels, following Alexia's word. 54-POWER TO THE PEOPLE Alexia finds her influence in terrorizing the people waining as her powers continue to grow. Mike and Barney finally discover a possible way to destroy her power crystal. Brittion faces death against Alexia's powers when he refuses to tell her the rebel's hideout. 55-A WOMAN'S FURY Alexia finds out about the plan against the power crystal and sends Simor to capture Barney and Mike. Mike and Barney use their limited powers to plant a crude bomb on the crystal, but are stunned by Simor before they can leave. Brittion bribes a guard and escapes to the caves beneath the castle, where he too becomes trapped with Mike and Barney. 56-POWER STRUGGLE Simor suddenly finds himself out from under Alexia's influence, but cannot figure out why. Barb and Dreidal lead a search party for the missing Mike and Barney. Mike, Barney, and Brittion are confronted by Alexia and are terrified when she reveals her plans to try and conquer the universe. 57-HAUNTED Simor seeks relief for his recurring nightmare since breaking Alexia's hold on himself. Dreidal, sent back for supplies, is cornered by Simor and tries to help him, despite beingon the opposite sides of the war. Alexia uses a spell from the power crystal to paralyze Mike, Barney, and Brittion, then leaves them in the crystal room to be overcome by radiation. 58-POP FLY Dreidal is tricked by Simor, back in command of his faculties, and is taken prisoner. Mike and Barney struggle to break Alexia's deadly paralyzing spell, knowing the crystal can kill them if they are in the same room with it for very long. Barb and Kodar find a telltale sign. 59-BACK FROM OBLIVION Kodar and Barb find the men but cannot break through Alexia's barrier. Brittion manages to move a little and rolls over, pushing Mike out of the spell's sphere of influence. Mike and the others use their heads to free Barney and Brittion but are thrown for a loop when Simor shows up, with the captive Dreidal and offers to help them destroy Alexia. Alexia sets up a trap at the end of the cave, to trap everyone. As they reach the end of the cave, Mike links with the others to call Earth, but contact with Earth is lost when Alexia springs her deadly trap. She trapped all of them in the cave by sealing the entrance and then slowly flooded it with the radiation from her power crystal. NOTES: the series began to take on a more superpowers vs magical powers tone. It is also now a peaceful guerilla warfare vs a brutal guerilla warfare. Brittion, son of Ankor, had long been disenchanted with his father and Alexia. He officially joined the rebels when they captured him. It took some time to convince Mike that his intentions were true. Feb 1987-during the New TP season five 60-PART ONE Alexis has once again captured everyone and sentenced them to death but JJ manages to get off an SOS to the Tomorrow People. Evan, Chip, Toby, Stevi, Jeff and Danette are dispatched to the planet Sharonna and find that they must break through Alexia's massive barriers in order to save their friends. Alexia's cruel streak shows through when she forces Mike to watch her torture Brittion and Dreidal. 61-PART TWO The Earth contingent groups with several local villages to plot a mass insurgence against Alexia's stronghold. Alexia suffers a sudden weakness in her abilities, letting Tawny slip away undetected to the crystal room. Jeff and Evan are captured by Alexia's men but promptly turn the tables and impersonate them when she calls her guard to order. Tawny meets up with Jeff and realizes their SOS got through. Evan smuggles Chip into the castle to treat the injured Brittion and Dreidal. The villagers, led by Toby, Stevi, and Dannette, who are wearing power boosters, attack the castle headon. 63-PART THREE In the confusion of battle, the prisoners escape into the underground, with Alexia close behind. Simor changes sides once again. JJ and Adrianna get cut off from the others and face Alexia alone. The villagers take charge of the castle. 64-PART FOUR Alexia faces off with Mike and Dreidal in the crystal chamber, knowing the only way out is to try and run, carrying her crystal with her. Kodar takes charge above, getting the remnants of Alexia's now fallen regime out of the castle. The Earth contingent sabotages the power dampener. Mike and Alexia fight their final battle, which Alexia seemingly loses. The power crystal is destroyed (or so it is believed). The Sharonnites and the Earthers believe Alexia perished when she tried to save the power crystal. Dreidal is sworn in as Prince of Sharonna, while Adrianna agrees to marry JJ, who decides to stay behind. Alexia is seen heading off into the galaxy, her crystal still intact. NOTES: This was an 8 hour mini series telecast between episodes 16 and 17 of the 5th season of the TP, which were both devoted to the story here. The storyline continued for a couple of weeks following the mini series on the parent series. MY NOTES: This is a small mess of TC's rather than a major mess. I think the series POINT OF NO RETURN could have become, if fully written out, the TP version of BLAKE'S SEVEN and/or ROBIN HOOD. GROUND ZERO Feb 1985 1-HOMECOMING JJ and Tawny return to Earth, bringing Adrianna (Erin Moran of HAPPY DAYS) with them, hoping to stay safe from the assassin Ditor dispatched by Ankor to kill her, not knowing he, with Alexia's help, has followed them to Earth. 2-PLOTLINES Tawny rushes to alert JJ and Adrianna when he discovers Ditor's presence, but ends up needing help himself when Ditor ambushes him. 3-FAR FROM OVER Tawny is freed with help from Toby, but unknown to anyone, Ditor plants a tracer inside Tawny's system, allowing him to track the three anywhere. 4-TRACKED DOWN JJ loses his cool when Tawny becomes ill, and the reason is diagnosed as Ditor's tracking device, which he has used to find Adrianne's hiding place. 5-DAMSEL IN DISTRESS JJ, Tawny, and Toby track Ditor, who has kidnapped Adrianna and is using her as bait to attract the Sharonna freedom fighters. 6-SHOWDOWN Ditor issues his ultimatum but is suddenly wisked back home to Sharonna while Tawny and JJ are left to wonder why, deciding to remain on Earth for a while longer. NOTES: the action takes place all over the world but mostly in Los Angeles. 1985 TO 1986 7-ALL OVER AGAIN Ditor returns from Sharonna now prepared, thanks to the magic of Alexia, to be able to shielf himself from TP powers, and even use them to energize himself. He promptly begins to plot the capture and eventual execution of JJ, Tawny, and Adrianna. 8-WHERE IS THE NIGHT Ditor traps Tawny, intending to use him against the others but Tawny and Toby, with help from TIM, have other plans, which were conceived during Ditor's prolonged absence. 9-TACTICAL DISADVANTAGE Ditor, unprepared for the attack on him, vows to kill Tawny and Toby before leaving Earth. JJ and Adrianna have a peaceful evening alone together. 10-RED SKY AT MORNING Ditor lures Toby down from the TP satellite while Tawny heads back home, not expecting to find what he does when he gets there. 11-BACK TWO SQUARES Tawny leaves JJ and Adrianna alone, after finding them in bed together. Toby alerts TIM to his situation, who in turn alerts Tawny and JJ. 12-DANGEROUS SITUATIONS Tawny gives himself up in exchange for Toby's release but trusts Ditor too much, despite warnings from JJ and TIM. JJ prepares for the final showdown with Ditor. 13-PREPARATIONS Ditor tortures Toby for information on the Tomorrow People. Tawny tries to alert JJ to their situation. Adrianna hatches a plot. 14-ARMED Adrianna uses her newfound powers to distract Ditor, while JJ rescues Tawny and Toby. Toby reveals plans to trap Ditor and send him to galactic prison. 15-SHOWDOWN JJ goes after Ditor, according to Toby's plans. Ditor's new powers prove too hard to handle. Toby's plan to capture Ditor works at the last second. 16-GOING HOME Ditor is handed over to Toby and TIM for delivery at Takron VII, the prison planet closet to Earth. Toby, Tawny, and JJ say their goodbyes. Tawny, JJ, and Adrianna return to Sharonna to continue the fight for freedom. NOTES: As in season one, this series took place all over the world but mostly in Los Angeles. Ditor never returned to Sharonna nor is he mentioned again. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- From: CMento6653@aol.com Subject: TPFICT: tctp season 8 starts; number 202 Date: 16 Apr 2000 01:06:52 EDT THE TOMORROW PEOPLE Original series extended to 1980s and 1990 TC Universe Season 8; Episode 202 1989-1990 202-DELIVERANCE As Sogguth attempts to ravage Shirewood, Jeremy, Damien, and Cesee put the containment ceremony into action.

Chapter Two Angel Island, the Control Room =93Alex!=94 Carrie exclaimed as she stepped through the hologram, bags s= till hanging over one arm. =93Do you know who=92s out there?=94 =93No, but I know Derek looked like he had just seen a ghost. Who is it?= =94 Alex asked, looking up from her terminal as Carrie walked in. =93My grandmother!=94 the redhead exclaimed as she dropped into the neare= st chair. =93Barbara=92s here?=94 Alex asked eagerly. =93Well, that explains Derek= =92s behavior earlier! How is she?=94 Carrie glared at the researcher. =93I had no idea what to say to her--she looked incredible, nothing like = I expected!=94 the young teleporter exclaimed, running a hand distractedly through her unruly auburn hair. =93And to make matters worse, I actually walked in there holding bags from Wal-Mart and looking like I=92d just go= tten out of bed!=94 =93You with nothing to say? That=92s a first,=94 a deep voice commented = from the other side of the room. Carrie glanced over and grimaced. =93Thanks a lot, Nick! I don=92t see you running out to say hello!=94 A= lex quickly stepped between the two of them and put her hands up in a placati= ng gesture. =93Now, come on guys, back to your corners. Carrie, I=92m sure Barbara d= idn=92t even notice any of it. She was probably much too eager to meet you. Why don=92t you give me those bags, and run upstairs to change?=94 Carrie gl= anced down at her faded sweatshirt and ancient jeans, which had a hole in one knee. =93Thanks. That=92s a good idea. I=92ll meet you outside the living roo= m in five minutes,=94 she replied, dropping the bags on the floor and vanishing in = a flash of light. =93Think she=92d teach us how to do that?=94 Nick asked. Alex smiled. =93Well, you could always ask, but I don=92t think she really wants to ta= lk to you right now. Why don=92t we go say hello to Barbara?=94 Alex commente= d, taking Nick by the arm and pulling him out of the Control Room before he could object. ****** Taphini Island, The Ship =93You think your mother=92s that cult=92s leader?=94 Ami asked in disbe= lief. Adam nodded. =93I=92m sure it was her. Look at the picture!=94 Ami did, but she wasn= =92t so sure. The picture was at least ten years old, and a bit fuzzy. =93You don=92t believe me.=94 Adam stated bluntly, reading the uncertaint= y in her face. =93It=92s not that I don=92t believe you, Adam, it=92s just that--well, i= t=92s kind of hard to tell,=94 Ami fumbled for the right words to placate her friend. = But Adam would have none of it. =93I understand. It seems outrageous to you, doesn=92t it?=94 he asked, = his voice having gone curiously flat. =93I wouldn=92t say outrageous, Adam=85=94 Ami began. =93What would you say about it, Ami?=94 he demanded. Ami couldn=92t thin= k of anything to say, so she kept her mouth shut. Adam rose from the mattress and began pacing around the small circular chamber. =93I can=92t believe= you=92d do this to me! Not after what she did!=94 Ami rose and put a hand on hi= s shoulder, but Adam shrugged it off. =93I think I need to be alone right = now,=94 he told her coldly without turning around. Biting back tears, Ami nodded and backed away from him. Before she left, though, she gave it one last try. =93I=92m sorry, Adam. Maybe--=94Adam cut her off with a wave of his hand. =93Don=92t, please. Just go.=94 The Australian dropped down onto one of= the Ship =92s ledges as his fellow teleporter disappeared in a flash of light, his= head in his hands. ****** Angel Island, Carrie=92s Room =93Hey! Can=92t you knock or something!=94 Carrie exclaimed as Ami =91po= rted into her room. =93I was in the middle of getting changed! What if you=92d be= en Megabyte?=94 =93What if I=92d been Adam?=94 her friend teased, sitting down on the bed= . Carrie gave her the full benefit of the =93Rayne glare=94 as she pulled on a swe= ater and straightened her khakis. =93So what=92s up?=94 Carrie asked as she stepped into the adjoining bat= hroom to brush her teeth. =93I=92m worried about Adam. He thinks--wait a minute, why are you getti= ng dressed up so early in the morning?=94 Ami asked her fellow teleporter. Carrie never got out of her =93uniform=94 of sweatshirt and jeans before = noon if she could help it. :You=92ll never guess who=92s downstairs,: Carrie challenged. =93Who?=94 Ami asked. :C=92mon, guess!: Carrie replied with a mental grin. :Um, Elvis?: Ami =91pathed with a roll of her eyes. A sudden sensation = of choking came across the telepathic link, and she leaped to her feet. :Carrie! Are you okay?: :I=92m fine, you just made me almost swallow my toothbrush.: Carrie repli= ed. :How=92d you come up with that one?: :It doesn=92t matter. So who=92s downstairs?!: Ami demanded. :My grandmother.: was the =91pathed reply, tinged with excitement. :I ju= st came up here to change so I could do damage control on my first impressio= n.: Carrie added ruefully. Ami started in surprise. :Today=92s a day for family surprises!: she exclaimed. :Huh?: :Adam--oh, never mind. You should go downstairs and enjoy yourself.: Am= i couldn=92t bring herself to spoil her friend=92s good mood. =93No, what=92s going on? What=92s wrong with Adam?=94 Carrie asked wit= h concern as she came back into the bedroom. =93Well, he thinks the leader of that cult--the New Dawn, right?--was his mother.=94 Ami carefully watched the expression on her friend=92s face. =93What?! Where=92d he come up with that one?=94 Carrie asked in surpri= se. =93He has an old photograph of her--his mother, I mean--but it=92s quite = old and a bit fuzzy. I couldn=92t tell for sure, but he was adamant about it.=94= Ami replied with a sigh. =93Oh, man. What are we going to do?=94 Carrie wondered aloud as she ra= n a hand through her hair. She stared in surprise as Ami took her by the shoulders. =93Right now, you are going to go downstairs and meet your grandmother. = We can discuss what to do about Adam later.=94 Ami told her friend in no uncertain terms. =93He won=92t do anything crazy, I=92m sure,=94 she add= ed as she saw her friend=92s hesitation. =93Are you certain?=94 Carrie asked. Ami nodded. =93Well, okay then. = If you=92re absolutely positive he won=92t go off looking for her or anything, that i= s,=94 she added with a sidelong glance at her friend. =93I=92m sure. He=92s just upset and stressed out right now. He needs t= ime to cool down, and then we=92ll be able to reason with him,=94 Ami replied. = =93Now go downstairs before your grandmother comes up here looking for you!=94 Bot= h girls burst into laughter at that matronly remark. =93Okay, Mom!=94 Carrie exclaimed as Ami mock-punched her on the arm. =93= You want to meet her?=94 Carrie asked as she moved towards the door. Ami sh= ook her head. =93And how are you going to explain your British friend who arrived here without anyone noticing?=94 she asked with a smile. =93Good point. I want you guys to meet her, though. I am going to tell = her about us, I think--eventually. She deserves to know,=94 Carrie remarked, grinning as Ami shooed her out of the room. :See you later, right?: the question was =91pathed as Carrie walked down = the hallway. The redhead grinned. :You bet. We can discuss our fearless leader then.: Ami smiled with relief; at least she wasn=92t alone in handling this anymore. ****** A darkened room, somewhere in San Francisco The only source of light in the dimly lit study was from a small desk lam= p, illuminating several ancient texts that lay open on the desk. A woman wa= s bent over them, her dark hair pulled back into a long braid. =91There must be something here!=92 she thought to herself, smacking an o= pen hand on the open volume in frustration. =91I must find some way to regai= n favor with my lord!=92 The sudden sound of a floorboard creaking caught = her attention. =93Yes, Michael?=94 the woman asked without turning around. =93I should have known I couldn=92t sneak up on you, Ariel,=94 the tall, = blond man remarked with a slight chuckle. =93Anyway, I brought those books you wan= ted. Don=92t know what you hope to find in them, though.=94 He dropped the vo= lumes on the desk before collapsing into a nearby armchair. The dark haired wo= man had to jump to keep the priceless volumes from tumbling to the floor. =93Be more careful, Michael! These books are irreplaceable--they=92re va= luable antiques!=94 she exclaimed. Her frustration was met with a wry smile. =93As is so much around this place, I=92m afraid. We need new blood in t= his organization, Ari.=94 Michael commented, staring idly into the darkness = that shrouded most of the room. =93Exactly how do you suggest we recruit this =91new blood=92?=94 the wom= an asked skeptically. Her companion smiled. =93How about those youngsters who surprised us at the clearing? They app= eared to have rather=85=91promising=92 talents, you know.=94 The woman called = Ariel groaned. =93I know they do, Michael. It=92s how they stopped us from bringing our= lord to cleanse this world, remember! How would you have us bring them across= ? They=92d never agree to help us, that much is clear!=94 she exclaimed, ri= sing from her seat. =93Oh, I don=92t know about that, Ari,=94 Michael replied, waving her bac= k into her seat. =93They=92re human, at least I assume they are, and that means= they all have at least one weakness. All we have to do is figure that out.=94 =93Is that all? I thought you wanted us to do something impossible!=94 = Ariel said with a mirthless laugh as she turned back to her books. =93We don=92= t even know who they are!=94 =93Oh, don=92t we?=94 Michael remarked, pulling a manila file folder fro= m thin air and tossing it carelessly onto the desk. Ariel grabbed it and eagerl= y opened the file. She gasped as she looked through its contents. =93How did you get these?=94 she demanded of her companion, spreading sev= eral photographs on top of the precious volumes. Michael simply shrugged. =93It was child=92s play, my dear. Once I realized his identity,=94 Mich= ael gestured with one elegant finger to one of the pictures, =93the others practically came to me! Now, how are we going to, ah, =91convert=92 the= m?=94 =93I have an idea=85=94 Ariel murmured, half to herself as she studied th= e pictures intently. =93Well, whatever you decide,=94 Michael remarked, rising from his seat, = =93make sure they pay for disrupting our ritual and blocking the coming of our lord!=94 Ariel merely nodded in agreement; she was lost in thought. Mi= chael smiled icily at her, and then strode from the room. As he pulled the door shut behind him, a small man dressed in a servant=92= s uniform approached him with the air of someone approaching a caged panthe= r. =93Um, sir?=94 the small man asked, keeping his head bowed--it was treaso= n to meet the Master=92s eyes. Unfortunately, the =91Master=92 responded with= a tired sigh--a sure sign of trouble. =93Yes, what is it?=94 he asked sharply, which only made the servant more nervous. =93Well, there--there=92s a phone call for you, sir,=94 the man stammered= , carefully keeping his eyes downcast. =93I=92ll take it in my office,=94 Michael snapped. =93Oh, and make sure= our dear mage Ariel is not disturbed--not for any reason whatsoever. She is in th= e midst of an extremely important project; the fate of all our endeavors is hanging in the balance. Do you understand?=94 The servant nodded, and Michael headed for his office. =91My dear Ariel,=92 he thought to himself. =91This plan of yours had be= tter work. If not, well-- even you are expendable.=92 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- From: CMento6653@aol.com Subject: TPFICT: TCTP: STAR FRONTIERS seasons 1 - 2, eps 1 to 39 Date: 16 Apr 2000 16:29:37 EDT THE TOMORROW PEOPLE Original Series Extended to the 1980s and 1990 TC universe STAR FRONTIERS episodes 1 to 39 STAR FRONTIERS Jan to Sept 1988 1-TRAINING SESSIONS Renny Ferreri and Terry Keller arrive at the Trig to begin their terms as Diplomatic officers.

Renny meet a pretty Amberneise ambassador named Petree. 10-FALSE SENSE OF SECURITY Petree lures Renn into coming to her planet for a visit, with something more than affection in mind. Terry's advanced classes begin to overwork him a bit, concerning Devon. 11-MAKING AMENDS Renny, hurt by Petree's ruse, nevertheless agrees to her plans to help her people's revolution, knowing it could cost him his life.

In the troop's caravan, a bound and gagged Renny relives the horror from his breakout several years before. 18-SEASONS CHANGE Kolar orders Mekea (the different spelling reflects TC's original mistakes--I an not sure which spelling is the correct one, thus it is left in) to execute Renny as an enemy spy. Terry and Kimani race time to find the enemy encampment in the Ambera junglelands. Devon prepares an invasion force with the help of the Galactic Police Corps. Kimani is the member of the Ambernese Underground that is Terry's contact. 19-SEVERED TIES Renny tries to summon up his courage as the time for his execution draws near. Terry and Kimani find the just abandoned encampment and must follow their trail. Devon gives Kolar an ultimatium. Renny faces Mekea's execution plans---a slow, excruciating death by dehydration and electric shock. 20-TIME OF ARRIVAL Terry and Kimani secretly invade the encampment, stopped for the night. Renny fights hunger, fatigue and head to stay alive in Mekea's sweat cell, knowing he has only hours to live. Devon finds the weak link in Ambera's anti psi barrier and blasts it to bits, much to Kolar's surprise. 21-FORCIBLE ENTRY Dveon and the Galactic Troops arrive on Ambera while Kolar tries to escape. Terry and Kimani overcome a couple of guards and manage to free Renny, who is close to death. Kolar arrives at the encampment ahead of Trig troops to find it in confusion, as Terry, Kimani, and Renny struggle to reach the Underground's rendezvous point. 22-SAFETY IN NUMBERS Terry and Kimani return to the capital to meet Devon. Trig Troops capture Mekea but Kolar disappears. Renny is rusehd to the Trig for emergency medical treatment. Devon restores order on Ambera---- while hidden away, Kolar vows revenge on all three ambassadors. 23-VISIONS OF THE PAST Renny fights to stay alive, reliving long past events, while Terry watches over his best friend. Devon gives his report to the Galactic Council. Andreas arrives from Earth to begin his training. Terry meets with Zexoniese Ambassador Brandi Zeekolmick (Kathy Maisnik) of the planet Zexon about his next assignment. 24-PASSION FLOWER Andreas receives notification of his classes. Terry and Brandi talk about life as intergalactic representatives. Devon assigns Andreas to Terry for orientation. Renny continues a slow but steady recovery. Andreas, in addition to becoming an ambassador in training, is also going to become part of the Trig Protective Corps, a sort of galactic Impossible Missions Force (IMF from MISSION: IMPOSSIBLE). His classes deal with both of these aspects of his new career. 25-GENETIC MUTATION Renny makes a discovery about himself while in the Medical Center, one that will change him forever. Devon begins talks with Xexoniese leader Pharqan. Terry and Andreas are stunned by Renny's news. Brandi prepares to return home. Renny has an additional power now: he can make his body intangible. 26-PEACE ACCORDS Renny is discharged from the medical center. Andreas mistakenly alienates Professor Dorbl, one of his teachers and the most powerful at the Trig. Devon and Pharqun sign an alligeance pact, making Zexon a Federation. Brandi decides to join the Ambassador Corps. Terry helps Brandi settle in. 27-FAR AWAY POINT Devon, Terry, and Renny are asked to aid in talks on Korlob, a Thargon planet seeking agricultural aide from the Trig. Andreas's Trig education could be cut short if Dorbl has his way. Brandi and Terry spend a peaceful night on Korlob together. 28-SCHOOL OF HARD KNOCKS Dorbl sentences Andreas to a week of his training camp to shape him up. Andreas follows his instincts about Dorbl and makes a surprising discovery, changing his feelings for the Professor. A Thargon Emissary to Korbal warns the Trig to keep out of Korbalian affairs, angering Devon. 29-VIOLATION OF TRUST A Trig merchant ship is attacked by an unknown assailant. Terry and Renny investigate the incident with help from an ever present Brandi. Devon accuses Thargon Emissary Endal of attacking the Federation ship. 30-PLANET OF DESERT Andreas surprises Dorbl with his persistant efforts while in training camp. Terry finds evidence that the Thargons are being framed for the attack on the ship. Devon makes an official inquiry. Renny is annoyed by Brandi's constant hanging on of Terry. 31-THE REAL MCCOY A Thargon vessel is destroyed by an unknown weapon. Endal accuses the Federation of an act of war, which Devon denies. Terry and Renny present the evidence found after the attack on the Federation ship. Andreas makes good in Dorbl's eyes. Renny confronts Brandi over her dogged pursuit of Terry. 32-RELATIONSHIPS OF PAST AND PRESENT Terry is angered by Renny's inteference in his romantic life and tries to understand why his friend is so upset over his growing relationship with Brandi. Renny goes soul searching alone, and stumbles upon the real cause of the breakdown in the talks. Andreas joins the delegation on Korbal. Renny, taking a closer look, is surprised from behind by one of the real culprits. 33-CAPTIVE AUDIENCE Terry beings to put two and two together concerning the evidence of a frame around both the Thargons and the Federation attacks. Renny, a prisoner of the Sorson General, asks why they are trying to pit the two forces against each other and gets a surprising answer. Andreas comes across the hidden Sorson ship and alerts Devon. 34-IMPASSE General Virtirolou confesses to making both attacks to both delegations but warns them to proceed no further or it will mean death to Renny. Renny, anxious to escape his captors, puts a plan in motion. Andreas and Terry, with Brandi, concoct their own plan. General Virtirolous reports to his superiors that his plan is in motion and that he plans to be in charge of the Trig and the Thargon Council within a week. 35-SHIFTING TIDE Virtirolous, intent on his plans to conquer the Federation and Thargon empires, doesn't notice his prisoner is missing until it is too late. Renny's plan works, as he slips noiselessly out of the Sorson spacecraft, where he discovers Terry and Andreas waiting for him, with Brandi also nearby. Renny outlines Virtirolou's plans for the others. Virtirolou alerts his troops to Renny's escape. 36-BACKFIRE Renny uses his newest power to prevent Virtirolou attacking or escaping until help can arrive. Terry arrives at the mediation center with the news of Virtirolou's capture. Andreas and Renny are both stunned by Brandi, who has her own reasons. Virtirolou's troops prepare for battle. 37-DOUBLECROSS Brandi explains t powerless captives Andreas and Renny why she turned on them. Terry and the delegation return to find themselves ambushed. Renny begins to understand why he felt the way he did about Brandi and he and Andreas offer to help her if she helps them to escape. 38-BATTLE LINES Terry and Devon are cut off from the others when exposed to Volumite by a Sorson platoon but manage to hole up in a nearby cave. Brandi demands to see her mother, a captive of the Sorsons. Andreas, using the survival tactics Dorbl taught him, manages to slip into the mountains neaby when Brandi conviently looks the other way. Renny promises Brandi his help to secure the release of her mother. The Sorsons strike the delegation's troops with volunite, rendering them helpless. 39-SURROUNDING AREA Andreas, still suffering the effects of the volumen, treks across Korbal's mountainous desert, trying to find help. The Thargon troops in the valley, led by Endal, vow to fight to the end, not stopped by volumen. Devon and Terry make their way back to the settlement to find help, stumbling across Andreas along the way. Brandi's deceit is discovered by Virtirolous, who's solution is to kill Renny to prove he means business. Brandi makes a last ditch effort to stop the situation from growing, with little result. Renny's desperate escape attempt means death for at least one person. Endal is shot. NOTES: Andreas joined the Trig when he tired of trying to help free his fellow Russian Psioniks get out from under KGB scrutiny and service. Brandi Zeeskolmick was a native of the planet Zexon who attached herself to Terry. Renny continued to metamorphosize. He was slightly mutated when he broke out, which gave him the ability to shoot lasers from his fingertips when he had to. During his incarceration, his desire to escape led his body's genes to mutate a little more, and when it was over, Renny has the ability to turn parts of his body intangible, making it possible for him, on occasion, to reach through walls, and walk through barred doors. This power is only beginning to be explored and as yet, the character has little control as the power does not yet work at will. 1989 TO 1990 40-A PRICE TOO HIGH 41-DISTANT SHORE 42-FROM ON HIGH 43-NEMESIS OF LIGHT 44-AMOEBA 45-A STUDY IN SPIDRON 46-ELECTRIC BLUE 47-LIKE ICE 48-EVIL IN THE MIST 49-OLD ENEMIES 50-TUNNELVISION 51-OUT OF BODY EXPERIENCE 52-ANXIOUSNESS 53-MYSTIC ALLIANCE 54-MAGIC SECRETS 55-INFINITE WISDOMS 56-THE SWEET TASTE OF AMBROSIA 57-DEJA VIEW 58-INVICTUS 59-AD INFINITUM 60-QUESTIONNAIRE 61-IN CASE OF FIRE, YELL FOR HELP 62-WATCH FOR FALLING RUSSIANS 63-FROM THE OUTSIDE 64-TURNING THE TABLES 65-COSMIC CONNECTION 66-FALLING STAR 67-DOWN IN THE PITS ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- From: CMento6653@aol.com Subject: Re: TPFICT: tctp season 8 starts; number 202 Date: 16 Apr 2000 16:34:00 EDT No, this is not it. There is a whole season 8 and 9 to deal with but they are much longer. Up soon. First I will take care of the spinoffs from the first book and then onto season 8. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- From: CMento6653@aol.com Subject: TPFICT: tctp: travels of toby 1- 11 (full) plus short scenes Date: 16 Apr 2000 19:56:09 EDT THE TOMORROW PEOPLE THE TRAVELS OF TOBY LLWELLLYN Original Series Extended to 1980s and 1990 TC Universe THE TRAVELS OF TOBY LLWELLYN Summer 1988 1-ALONE IN THE WORLD Toby is discharged from the hospital, still an amnesiac, because he looks old enough and the hospital need the bed. He knows the chain he wears, the only jewelry he was wearing following the mugging, means something to him, but cannot remember what. He does remember anyone, and neither the Tp nor his parents know what has happened to him. Julia, however, does, and sends Daniel to use Toby while he is still with defenses down, and convince him to come aboard with her. 2-I'LL FIND MY WAY HOME Toby, memory gone, decides to set off across the country to see if he can remember anything. Trent and Lorraine have discovered what happened and are dismayed to find that he has been discharged. Daniel follows Toby to a small Ohio town where the young amnesia victim becomes a fall guy for cocaine runners. 3-IN THE BLINK OF AN EYE Toby aids in the capture of the drug smugglers. Daniel plants himself ahead of Toby to intercept him. Max and TIM (Vincent Price's voice) scan all the morgues of the US in search of Toby, who is on a bus bound for Tulsa. 4-OKLAHOMA BOUND Toby lands in Tulsa, where he befriends a young girl running from an abusive stepfather. Daniel lays low after finding out the girl's story and contacting her stepfather. Jake and Josh find out Toby was in Dayton but had left a couple days earlier. Toby's powers unleash themselves when he and Tanya are waylaid by her stepfather and Daniel, and they must make a hasty escape and a secret call to the local police, which catches Tayna's stepfather but not Daniel. NOTE: This synopsis is badly written, not up to TC's usual standards even if the story is good. 5-HOME PLATE On a bus headed for the west coast, Toby begins wondering about how he did what he did in Tulsa. Daniel and Julia plan to catch Toby outside Los Angeles. Tanya returns home, where Toby says a tearful goodbye to her, promising to look her up someday, once he rmembers who he is. 6-WHEREVER I LAY MY HAT Toby arrives in LA, remembering something about a transport station. Daniel works with Julia's massive underground to find Toby, who gets mixed up with an abusive pimp on LA's Sunset Strip and ends up in serious trouble. 7-DAY OF RECKONING Toby runs fast from the trouble he witnesses, something striking a familiar chord with him here. He remembers things that he thinks belong on TV. Daniel cannot seem to get ahead of the prized young genius, Toby always managing to get out of the things he sets up just before he can arrive to take charge. Toby, fearing something, and now realizing someone is following h im, heads for San Francisco. 8-POSITIVE IDENTIFICATION Julia turns to the media, acting the bereaved aunt, to locate Toby. Toby, now fully realizing someone is tailing him, decides to throw his pursuer off track and jumps the bus in Sacramento. Julia is outraged when the media refuse her request for lack of proof or evidence that the young man really existed. 9-INNER QUEST Chip now realizes that Toby's condition has probably caused a temporary loss of powers, except for in moments of stress. Trent hears of a young man who seemed not to know who he was running from the strip and investigates. Toby, trying to determine who he is and where he is from, checks the Statehouse records on a whim and recognizes someone else's file, thinking it his own. Daniel removes the planted fiel as he continues to stalk Toby, who now believes Julia is indeed his aunt. Toby experiences his first severe headache as he still cannot figure out what happened in Tulsa. 10-SEEING THE TRUTH As he prepares to head for Julia's in Los Angeles, Toby is finally approached by Daniel, who offers fake credentials as a PI hwo has been tracking him. Toby at first believes him, but suddenly he receives a premonition, when Daniel touches him for the first time, and decides against going with Daniel. Toby leaves Daniel a note at the boarding house wehre he was staying and leaves town, once again headed for San Francisco. 11-CENTER OF IT ALL In San Francisco, Toby is befriended by a social worker named Eric Tolstoy in a shelter he comes to for food and lodging. Daniel tracks him this far but decides to contact Julia for a decision on how to proceed. Meanwhile, Eric gives Toby shelter and an ear to talk to. Toby lays his heart on the line and asks for advice but Eric can only offer Toby a job in the shelter and all the support he can give, as well as protection from Daniel. A grateful Toby accepts the proposition, and seems to enjoy himself here until Daniel decides to show up, and Toby sees him through the window. EPISODE NOTE: Eric is a social worker at the shelter in San Francisco where Trent will eventually find Toby. NOTES: The end of this series (the last 4 episodes) was telecast during the first four weeks of the TP's 7th season. The series was a summer show between the Tp's 6th and 7th season. Eric would reappear again, not to be confused with the Eric who is the President's son. Toby has been mugged in his native NY. Daniel and his boss, socialite Julia Winters (also Nebor's half human daughter), found out about Toby's condition and resolved to either turn him to their side or capture him to use against the Tp. Toby traveled across the country trying to discover his identity, meeting trouble and danger along the way. Daniel was using his powers to chase Toby, who mostly stayed one step ahead of Daniel. Toby had forgotten about his powers, though they did surface in 3 of the episodes, each time with young Toby wondering what had happened. Near the end of the series, Daniel finally caught up with Toyb and had the young teen convinced that Julia was his bereaved aunt. Toby agreed to accompany Daniel back to Los Angeles but picked up bad vibes from from the arrangement at the last minute and left town, leaving Daniel a note, asking him not to follow. Daniel continued to harass Toby, but never caught up with him. The storyline of Toby's mugging and amnesia started on the TP series in the next to last episode of the season, spread out over the summer series, and continued throughout the first third of the following season on the TP series. MY NOTES: This series has potential to be fully written out as full length stories or novels. I believe it could be the TP series to mirror THE FUGITIVE series, reflecting on social mores and moving from place to place. The individual episodes need work, however as not much is clear from TC's shakey synopsis. Tanya seems to be left behind, yet seems to be on a bus with Toby, then he says goodbye to her at her home. Also one story DAY OF RECKONING seems to have no plot at all but tells the plot of the entire show. I think it, too, can be whipped into shape. Some scenes follow, written by me from TC's synopsis: DAY OF RECKONING scenes: Female prostitute: Hey kid, if you don't ant to do this kind of work, I suggest you'd better disappear. Toby: (absent mindedly): Disappear? Don't you mean jaunt? Prostitute: Jaunt? That ain't no American word. Are you British, Kid? Toby: British? I don't...maybe... Prostitute: Hurry, HE'S coming, get out of here! Beat it! Jaunt! Toby: Huh? What does... Prostitute: Run! (Toby runs off) A scene from POSITIVE ID: Julia is watching Phil Donahue on TV. On the tv Phil: Don't you think this aunt has a similar beef to your plight, Twana? I mean should the media let itself be used by this unnamed aunt the way it let you? A scene from SEEING THE TRUTH: Daniel, the renegade TP, put his hand on Toby's shoulder. Toby's eyes close and he sees Daniel appear in the darkness smiling evilly and holding a bloody knife. Toby waited until Daniel went to get him a hot dog, unaware Daniel laced it with knockout dust. Daniel finds a note on the park bench when he returns. It reads, "I"m sorry not to you but for you. I think you really wanted me to come with you---you needed me to come with you----you needed me to do so for some reason that is important. But I know that whatever my future is you are not a part of it, or not a major part. Whatever I am, really am, you are not the same as I. Thank you for your help but I must seek out my true potential---I see it now, I hope someday you will find your true potential--I see it now. I hope someday you will find your true potential, too." Daniel crumbles up the note, "I'm a part of it. More a part of it than you shall know!" Note: later on Daniel turns good by saving TP Joachim and his lover, Craig, from Matthew Galloway but is shot, throwing himself between them and the bullets Matt and his men shot at them. Daniel dies. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- From: CMento6653@aol.com Subject: TPFICT: tctp: timelost season one 1 to 26, END OF BOOK ONE Date: 16 Apr 2000 20:41:19 EDT THE TOMORROW PEOPLE Original Series Extended to 1980s and 1990 TC Universe TIMELOST with Mike Bell TIMELOST---30 minutes 1988 to 1989 1-TIMELOST Darren Solquist (Simon Beal), Mike Bell (Michael Cerveris), Fraiser McCollough (Alasdair Cumming), Brett Fischer (Gary Hayes), Kamandi the alien (Jeffery Henderson), Danette Brandon (Shalane McCall), and Derek Tomlin (Rodney Pearson) were taken from a picnic via a time storm. Their powers erratic at best, the seven wake up to find themselves desposited in a world of prehistoric connotations. Except for one inescapable fact---there is man and dinosaur together, a known historical impossibility. NOTE: Today, this may not be fact: dino prints have been found with man's prints inside them! 2-PTERYDACTYL WITH A "P" As they continue to scout, the seven find more animals, and very little evidence of the man they sighted. When they stop to rest on their trek, trying to find out how they got there, an animal decides they are a danger. A pteradactyl attacks them. 3-EMERGE AND SEE Danette finds a pool of water with an unusal glow, and thinking it might be a way back to the present, the seven decide to investigate. The pool is a kind of time conduit. 4-TOO EARLY TO TELL Kamandi (one of the time travelers and Questor's younger brother, an alien is played by Jeffery Henderson who looks like John Stamos) and Mike decide to find out if history can be rewritten when the pool leadds them into the time of the crusades. A local notices strangers and decides to use them as unwitting pawns in plans to kill King John (Rodney McDowell). 5-TO THE BATTLE Powers still erratic at best, Mike and Derek join up with a band of rebles who have gathered to protect the king from his enemies. Danette wins the confidence of a servant girl loyal to the king. 6-MAGNA CARTA The kings enemies strike just in time to try and prevent Magna Carta from being signed, throwing most of the seven into the dungeon with the King, while Danette and Darren, disguised as servants, must try and rescue all. 7-WIZARDS AND WITCHES After defeating the usurper, King John tells the seven about a mystic in the mountains who may be able to answer the many questions they have, but cannot ask. With help from the seven travellers, and their illusions, they were able to defeat the rebels by making them think King John's army was much larger than it was. 8-MYSTIC ANSWERS The Wizard Paulan (Ina Wolfe) believes the story of the seven, and how they got there and tries to help but an evil witch overhears their plans and kidnaps Brett to be her consort. 9-WAR OF WANDS An enchanted Brett fights against his friends when Chandra (Morgan Brittany) refuses to let him go and the TP must find a way to free him from her power after she strikes down Paulan. 10-GATEWAY Once Brett is free, Kamandi delivers Paulan's spell but it doesn't take them far enough, as they land I the middle of the American Revolution and are immediately arrested as spies for the British, thanks to Mike's too quick mouth. 11-THE BRITISH ARE COMING Denials unbelieved, the seven use their limited powrs to escape but Mike gets left behind, and is sentenced to be executed. 12-GIVE ME LIBERTY OR BUST Derek, with help from Darren and a still weak Brett, pulls a last minute escape attempt for Mike but the seven become hunted fugitives all over the country side. 13-SHELTER FROM THE STORM Seeking shelter from a rain, the seven sack out in a barn that turns out to be owned by the sheriff, causing a great deal of trouble. 14-DISCOVERIES When the group are discovered in the barn by its owner, the sheriff, he turns out to be an unexpected ally, for a price that could mean death for Darren and Kamandi. 15-ESCAPE FROM THE GALLOWS As Darren and Kamandi help the sheriff free his son from the Redcoats, Danette, Brett, and Derek hatch an escape plan for an attempt to go home, using Brett's growing mystic knowledge. 16-BACKWARD TURN Using a variation of Paulan's spell, the seven again fade through time, but in the wrong direction, ending up in Nero's Rome right in the middle of the colleseaum during a gladiator duel. 17-FORWARD MARCH Danette is taken in by Nero, who fancies her as a mate, while the boys must choose between becoming gladiators or being thrown to the lions. They become gladiators. 18-CHALLENGE TO A DUEL When Nero moves in too fast, Brett challenges his best gladiator to a duel to cover an escape attempt and to save Danette's honor. Brett distracts Nero and gets out of it by surprising the emperor with his sword prowess, knocking his majesty on his fat ass. 19-FAR FROM ROME The escape attempt successful, the seven head for the hills above Rome, having foundout about an anicent legend of witches living in a village there. Witches once inhabited the cave and Chandra was one of them, leaving it behind when she crossed the time barrier into the time they encountered her. 20-CAVE OF ENCHANTMENT Discovering the caves supposedly haunted by witches, Derek discovers a book left behind by its previous occupant, which leads to a discovery of what sent them through time. 21-GATEWAY TWO When Brett opens the time warp inside the cave using the new information they've found, he misses a word and catapults the group into a brouhaha in the days of the Arabian Knights. 22-DESERT THE DESERT On the run following a run in with a tribe of thieves in ancient Arabia, Brett and Derek get separated from the others and wind up in a big mess. 23-BURNING OASIS Derek and Brett their powers not working, feel the pain of ancient torture, while the others race time to find their captors. 24-CHANGES Brett, in considerable pain after being tortured, suddenly visualizes their home time, and sees trouble ahead for all, as well as a critical decision that will have to be made in the future, one that will affect all of them. 25-FALL FROM GRACE After rescuing Derek and Brett, both near death, the others race to find the portal described by a delierious Brett, one which will take them home. Derek and Brett are rescued by the others. 26-ARRIVAL Hiding in the lush oasis, the seven wait out what Brett says he knows is going to happen by tracing their journey thus far, while a stronger Derek tends to a still critical Brett. Brett swears that a way home will be found soon...for at least some of them. NOTES: Sir Terrence is played by Michael Landon, Jr. Marcus the Rogue is played by Mark Ryan. It is to be figured that they are both in the Magna Carta storyline, however Marcus might be in the Nero storyline. THIS CONCLUDES THE FIRST TC BOOK info. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- From: CMento6653@aol.com Subject: TPFICT: tctp season 7--202 to 209 Date: 19 Apr 2000 13:05:44 EDT 1989-1990 202-DELIVERANCE As Sogguth attempts to ravage Shirewood, Jeremy, Damien, and Cesee put the containment ceremony into action. Halfway through the ceremony, Sogguth attacks and injures Jeremy; Damien jumps in and completes the ceremony. As Sogguth is forced to retreat to the bowels of the Earth once again, the purely evil entity tries to drag everything and everyone along with him. It is Andrew who stops to protect his friends, especially the helpless Jeb. In the cave below Aerie, Amanda is saved by the ghost of Sir Edward, who stepped in to protect his beloved granddaughter. Everything begins to normalize once again as the hole opened by Cesee and Jeremy closes. As everyone recovers from the battle, the medical team strains itself to the limit to stabilize Heather, whose injuries and very grave. Jake, Josh, and Trent are also worried about Jeb and how much of what happened to him he will remember. When he comes to, he remembers only snatches until he sees Heather lying on one of the beds. He becomes hysterical and the team is forced to sedate him. Evan discovers Julia's broken body in the temple and dispatches a team to take her to the Trig for proper care. They can help her regain her identity. Senator Wolfe, the brother of Susan McCelland (Nicola Bryant of DOCTOR WHO), is touring a military installation when he discovers to his horror that they are planning on shooting the TP satellite down. Thanks to Jeb's earlier handiwork, they have finally pinpointed its location. Hawk, recovering from his injuries, makes known his request to remain on Earth for awhile. Trent is surprised that Hawk felt he had to ask permission. In Lynchberg, Virginia, a pair of brothers, arguing about something trivial, and under a lot of pressure from their mother's impending death from cancer, enter a bank to do some business, and are among 12 people taken hostage when robbers storm the bank. 203-HYPERSPATIAL HELL Jeb tortures himself over what he did to Heather, even though he had no control over himself at the time. As Cesee and Damien work to keep Sogguth's gateway permanently closed, Cesee causes a time ripple, and locates two Tomorrow People in a distant time. Locking onto the images, he pulls Mike and Brett back home, to everyone's surprise. In Lynchberg, when faced with a gun to his brother's head, Davy Carter (Seth Green) suddenly screams and vanishes before several witnesses. Daen (Kevin Cromley), his older brother, faints, and also disappears. Tim is picking up a violent telepathic impulse from hyper space. As Daen and Davy's lives hang in the balance, Trent and Toby, with guidance from TIM, manage to get to them just in time and bring them back to the satellite. When Daen comes to, he refuses to believe what has happened to himself and his little brother. The fact that their father is a minister and Daen is also considering the seminary, clouds his judgement until Trent forces him to accept the rality of the situation, in order to save a retreated Davy. Late at night, Heather suffers a setback, and the healers send John away so they can concentrate on saving her. John jaunts into Jeb's quarters and accuses the teenager of being a murderer, which leaves the already unstable 17 year old a wreck. Hurting and in tears, after John departs, Jeb packs up his things, and, fighting TIM all the way, leaves the satellite, flinging away his jaunting band at the last possible second. Trent and Chip, alerted by TIM, come in seconds too late. TIM brings them up to date on what has been happening, and Chip realizes that despite all their support, no one had bothered to tell Jeb that Heather would recover. On Earth, Jeb is alone, thinking he killed a close friend. The next day, as Heather awakens and Amanda is allowed to see her, she remembers what happened to her and the news about her pregnancy. Later that day, as all is quiet aboard the satellite, the word comes from the Pentagon and General Crampton gives the order: destroy the Tomorrow People satellite. 204-RELIGIOUS EXPERIENCE As the missiles hit the satellite, Trent orders everyone, including the injured, to Shirewood, as he, Toby, and John fight to get the satellite out of the missiles' path, and avoid any other attacks. Finally, they push the satellite into lunar orbit. At Shirewood, Amanda is spending time wiht "Uncle" Mike when she senses something different about him and alerts her mother. Heather discovers Mike is not Mike but Midor, a Sharonna native with his memory changed. She vows to find out what has happened to the real Mike and now Midor finds himself the center of attention, especially since even he thought he was Mike. On Earth the Reverend Harrison Hartford (Jack Horkheimer of PBS skywatch bits), a rising TV evangelist, has a meeting with the new President of the US James Shrube (Harry Morgan of MASH). His motives are to find out what he can about the Tomorrow People. Shrube is shocked to find out that the minister even knows about them. He advises caution when Harford tells him of his plan to expose them on his television show. Tina has realized that she is attracted to Stephen, who agrees to train her as a galactic agent, against his better judgement. Once things are back to normal on the satellite, she begins her training and makes a potential fatal mistake during a simuation. Stephen decides he cannot handle training her and tells her he will write a letter of introduction for her to give to his mentor, Harry Steen. Tina is crushed but agrees. Max and Toby begin to educate Daen and Davy about their new heritage and what they have become. When they tell their parents, both are shocked but Rev. James Carter (Monte Markham) is convinced that Daen and Davy, along with the other Tomorrow People, are the beginning of Revelations' 144,000 survivors of Armegeddon. Repairs on the satellite begin in lunar orbit. Trent admits to Samantha how worried he is about Jeb. Samantha tells him that Jeb will be back, when the time is right for him to feel accepted again. Trent, with the blessings of John, orders a formal hearing on Jeb's actions. John is surprised and angered when the members of the Tomorrow People find Jeb innocent due to posession by Sogguth. MY NOTES: Okay this episode makes an unusal mess out of lots of stuff: Mike is now played by someone not from the real show but here we find out he is not Mike after all, making all that happened to Mike since this new person played him not having happened to Mike at all but to an alien named Midor. This is sub standard story telling and comes right out of the sappy and blatantly dull soap DAYS OF OUR LIVES in its less than grand time period---John isn't John but really is...oh, who cares. Another note is John's anger at Jeb over having attacked Heather. While this creates good conflict, I cannot see John being so mad---but it makes sense that he is insensed at someone who attacked his wife. Yet John was taken over by Soggoth too once. I reminded TC of this and this was how it was to be resolved. It is somewhat resolved in THE STORY OF ROLLIN written by me. THE STORY OF ROLLIN also introduced some minister that was against Rollin, a Tomorrow Person, thus you can see some of TC's ripping off of my story in that and again, introduced before Rollin was. 205-MISTAKEN IDENTITY Heather asks Kenny to try and find out what happened to the real Mike (SIGH) while Midor, upset about the turn of events is forced to face who he really is. Tina, preparing to leave for the Trig, is stopped by Hawk, who convinces her that it is Stephen she wants, not to become a galactic agent. Hawk makes her realize that she loves Stephen and she should stick around and fight for him. Toby, having some time on his hands, decides to contact Tanya Turquel (Ami Dolenz), unsure of how she will feel about him, since he had no memory of his own life the last time he had seen her. On a yacht, a rich young college student, daydreaming about an upcoming race, suddenly finds himself on a nearby yacht, with no clue as to how he got there, until contacted by Max, who tracks down the newest TP, Marcus Bradley the Third (Phillip Tanzini). Kenny, working for Heather, discovers that Mike is being held hostage and prisoner on Arracon, a warlike, non psi planet, by Alexia (Marj Dusay) , who was thought to have died on Sharonna. As the Tp decide how to mount a rescue mission, Mike suffers from the three years of imprisonment and torture. Arrakel (Wayne Northrup) , Alexia's chief henchman, takes great delight in torturing and hurting the powerless TP. Back on Earth, Sabrina Sands (MTV's Martha Quinn) has watched the TP as they recovered from the Sogguth crisis and is amazed how much strength Trent has shown as their leader. He comes to see her but the two of them end up fighting about their age difference again until Trent says they should just get married and put the problem behind them once and for all. To both their surprise, Sabrina accepts his proposal and after a few months of fighting, their love had conquered their feelings. Their problems are beginning to fall by the wayside. MY NOTES: Two years before this came out, I came up with an American snob girl TP named Marette. TC said he wanted everyone that broke out in season 10 to be from a different country so I changed Marette to French and actually like her better as a French girl. Season 8 came out and here we got Marcus, a rich snob from NY who broke out during a race. Gee, Marette broke out during a bike race in France. Another TC rip off of my ideas and characters. 206-REVEREND OF THE MASSES Rev Hartford's first nationally telecast show attracts a large audience and he uses the time to blast "a group of dangerous mutants emerging in God's Kingdom, a society bred by Satan himself". This broadcast makes both Daen and Davy very uncomfortable, but they are not alone. On Earth, President Shrube and General Robert Crampton (John Pleshette) formulate another plan. Both would prefer not to have a group of super people watching their every move and England and the Soviet Union are in total agreement. Trent and Sabrina surprise everyone when they announce their wedding plans, bringing congratulations from all. Toby and Tanya meet in her hometown for the first time since Toby's recovery from amnesia. Both are not sure about the meeting, but want to see each other again. Toby is especially worried. He has never trusted his secrets with anyone but his parents and yet he knows if the relationship continues to grow, he will owe Tanya the truth of what had happened to him the first time they met. Max decides to take Cesee on a trip ot his orphanage, because the young man wants to know, see, and understand life on his mother's home planet. Carol is his mom. When the boys get there, a fellow resident named Lucy Webber (FULL HOUSE's Candace Cameron), takes a liking to Cesee and decides to teach him the Western way of life, with funny results. Cesse encounters chewing gum for the first time. Back on the satellite, Sabrina confesses to Tina, Heather, and Liz that she isn't sure of her worthiness to be Trent's bride, because of her lack of special powers. Liz, whose husband Gary is a Norm, assures her that she and Trent will find different ways to make their deep passionate love special. MY NOTES: Not bad but getting to be more and more like a tepid soap opera all the time. Dragging out stories is never a good idea, even on soaps. 207-HOT WHEELS Trent decides to launch a rescue attempt for Mike and calls on Tawny, JJ, and Sharonna's Prince Dreidal to assist, since all are familiar with Alexia. Charles, to everyone' surprise, agrees to lead the mission, which also includes Toby, Stephen, Tina, Lorraine, Marcus, and Jake. As preparations are underway, things are quiet. John and Heather prepare to do some baby shopping, but first Heather must have her exam. Chip insists. She and John postpone their trip for an hour. During the exam, Chip suddenly emerges from the examination room requesting John's presence, doing so without using the slightest trace of telepathy. John is alarmed, and when they are alone, Chip tells him that one of the twins failed to respond to Heather's enhanced telepathic call. After a few moments and with help from Jake and Josh, Chip is able to determine that one of the twins will be devoid of powers, due to Sogguth's influence. John and Heather are crushed but vow not to let it show or let it affect them too much, for other than being powerless, the baby is perfectly healthy. Later, Trent and John see the rescue party off, worried about what they might find. On Earth, a young psych major at the University of Nevada, Las Vegas is enjoying his twentieth birthday party with his friends at his favorite professor's home when he is suddenly stricken with a severe headache. Through his professor offers to get him some aspirin, he declines, saying he'll get it himself. In the large bathroom of the house, he pushes himself out of his wheelchair to reach the medicine cabinet and his chair rolls away. He forgot to lock the wheels. Angry with himself, suddenly a spasm of pain hits him. He screams, falling to the floor, and suddenly, he vanishes. Up on the satellite, Chip and TIM pick up a sudden empathic pulse, and Chip goes to investigate. Arriving at UNLV, he searches for a few moments and suddenly comes upon a student crumpled up in the rose bushes near the student library. Hastily making a decision, Chip brings him back to the satellite. When Kelly Ransom (Stewart Goddard) wakes up, he is very skeptical as to what has happened, until Chip demonstrates his telekinesis for him. Kelly quickly becomes very interested and Chip offers to take him on a tour of the satellite. Kelly is amused when he discovers that Chip doesn't know he can't walk. Undaunted, Chip pulls a chair from the medicenter, and proceeds to show Kelly the wonders of Tpdom. Kelly is the first handicapped Tomorrow Person. They decide to keep Kelly's breakout a secret until the general meeting the following evening. At the meeting, Chip gets very dramatic when he tells the others that a new TP has broken out. Chip introduces Kelly, who appears on the jaunting pad, wheelchair and all. Needless to say, the young doctor is pleased with himself when the others react with stunned surprise. Kelly is very nervous about the first meeting, but tries not to show it as Trent, glaring at Chip for not warning everyone, welcomes Kelly to the fold. 208-GAME, SET, AND MATCH On Arrakon, the Tp team and Driedal try to elicit information from the local people about where to find Mike but to no avail. One of the subjects makes a report to Alexia about strangers in the village. Alexia, using her power crystal, views the streets and discovers faces she knows. "So, at last they know," she muses. On Earth, tennis star Joaquim Arkensa, the younger brother of deceased Jobe Arkensa, is preparing for a major match against Ivan Lendl, when suddenly, he doubles over in pain while warming up on the court. He calls his coach, who excuses them for a moment, and he tells Joaquim to return to the locker room for a rest for a few moments before the match gets underway. Once in the locker room, Joaquim experiences another spasm of pain and suddenly realizes what is happening to him. He tries to gather his strength and manages to get off a weak norm thought message to Toby and Evan, then he collapses in a heap on the floor. When Joaquim comes to, he is in the medicenter and everyone including his close friend Evan are surprised he broke out. Tests conducted a few years ago showed that he wouldn't. Nevertheless, Joaquim is proud to follow in his beloved brother's footsteps, but decides to keep it a secret from his family for now. At the general meeting the next night, Hawk and Evan, representing both himself and Toby, express concern at Kelly's handicap, unsure if he will be able to lead the full life of a Tomorrow Person. Kelly is visibly hurt, but tells them of his extremely busy life, his coaching Special Olympics Kids, his 14 hour class schedule and more. The two are somewhat placasted and Evan volunteers to teach Kelly all about what he can do, and how to keep himself from being tempted. Kelly eagerly agrees and over the next week, pushes himself to prove himself to his mentor. But there is a problem brewing: Daniel has eavesdropped on the past two meetings, and Matthew Galloway is planning to spirit Kelly away. He thinks a TP, handicapped and still mostly untrained, will make an excellent guinea pig. A week following his breakout, Kelly returns home to his dorm, where his friend and roomate Tom is waiting for him. He questions Kelly and despite their friendship, Kelly gets angry when Tom's questions get too nosy. Wheeling around from facing his friend, he suddenly feels a prick on the back of his neck. As he blacks out, he sees Tom's face shimmer, replaced by the sneering, unfamiliar face of a young man with flaming red hair. Jeb has come out of hiding, after taking a couple of months to sort out his life. He decides he needs some help and guidance and a young blond man convinces him that the best place to find solstace is in the Ring of Life. Jeb knows it is a religious cult but decides to give it a try anyway. Back on Arrakon, the Tp come face to face with the helpless Mike but before they have a chance to do anything, Alexia's troops storm the bunker where he's being held captive. The Tp find themselves fighting for their lives and watch as the tide of the battle turns against them, until Dreidal spies a locked room in the fortress. Slipping the lock and entering the room with Marcus on his heels, Driedal is overjoyed to have found Alexia's power crystal again. Marcus, who came on this mission for fun and found himself fighting to stay alive, plants a small bomb on the crystal, and the two exit. Suddenly, the entire fortress explodes as Marcus yells for everyone to jaunt which they do, just in the nick of time. Charles holds the weak and battered Mike in his arms as from a nearby hilltop, they watch the finish of the explosion. There is no doubt this time, Alexia and her power crystal will never be a threat again. In the rubble of the crystal, a badly injured Alexia vows revenge someday as she watches the figures of her enemies fade into nothingness. Arriving back on Sharonna, Jake tends to Mike whle Stephen contacts Trent, reports their success and that they'll bring him home in a few days. Outside Aerie, Amanda has a run in with a girl from a neighboring ranch and she and this girl, Becky hit it off instantly. Amanda has to watch herself carefully, being sure not to use her powers around her newfound friend. Becky invites Amanda over to watch videos, asking her if she likes Telegramm and their music. Amanda almost slips and calls Jake and Josh her friends since they are, but catches herself and says the are her favorites instead. MY NOTES: Have I missed something here? POINT OF NO RETURN's story continues but isn't it Alexia who is holding Mike, thus, why does she have to storm the stronghold where Mike is being held? Were their factions among her troops who wanted Mike? Was Mike being held by someone other than Alexia? What gives? Add to this that TC, while making up some good names for his alien characters (well most of the time), cannot spell the same name the same way each time. Arracon and Arrakon, Dreidal and Driedal. These have been typed as they are in the book. I take it they typing errors only. There was one spot where Amanda was typed as Ananda so I fixed that. But I am not sure of some the spellings of the alien names--I mean which is correct? Thus, I keep the alien names and more exotic names as they appear in the books. This story is well plotted though but again, TC has a way of rushing through details in the writing. At least one sentence above makes no sense grammatically: At the general meeting the next night, Hawk and Evan, representing both himself and Toby, express concern at Kelly's handicap, unsure if he will be able to lead the full life of a Tomorrow Person. Hawk and Evan, representing both himself ? And why would they need to represent Toby? Why so much concern over Kelly being handicapped? Doesn't he have a right to be a TP? 209-OVERDUE HOMECOMINGS Tina heads to Aerie, wanting to talk to Heather about the situation with Stephen and herself. She wants to talk to a friend who has had experience. Heather offers up she and John's secluded cabin in the Canadian wilderness as a retreat. Tina likes the idea but isn't sure she cna interest Stephen and doesn't think John would approve. Heather tells her not to worry about John. Laughing, they head upstairs to prepare of Mike's coming home party. When he arrives, many of the Tp are shocked to see him in such bad condition, but is Amanda who breaks the ice, willingly jumping into Mike's weak but waiting arms. Somewhere in Mexico, a groggy Kelly finally comes to to find himself strapped to a table and tightly gagged. He tries to summon the others but for some reason, none of his calls are getting through. Suddenly a door slides back and two people stroll in. He recognizes one as the young man who kidnapped him and the other as soneone from Evan's dilligent instruction: Matthew Galloway. Ording Daniel to remove Kelly's gaag, Galloway tells the young man what he has planned for him. Kelly tries to put on a brave front, secretly hoping his fear doesn't make him wet his pants. As the two leave, Daniel gags him once again and Kelly is left alone in the room. Suddenly, pulling on the straps, he realizes that one isn't as tight as the other and after a few moments, he slips his left out of the strap. Pulling the gag from his mouth and unbuckling the other straps, Kelly knows he has to find an escape route. Edging himself off the table and onto the floor, Kelly pulls himself out the door, and spies another door across the hall. Getting there, he musters his strength and uses his limited telekinesis to open the lock. As he opens the door, he nearly falls down a flight of narrow stairs. Suddenly, Daniel is standing over him, and Kelly is whisked awya to a dark cell and thrown on the floor, his hands bounc behind his back. Daniel tells him the loose strap was a test of his abilities, then slams the door leaving Kelly in total darkness. Tears of fear streaming down his face, Kelly vows to keep trying to escape. He won't have Evan's and Hawk's fears about him become reality. Back on the satellite, Stephen confesses to John how he can't stop thinking about Jani, since Jeremy's ultra realistic illusion during their battle with Galloway. John knows what Heather has planned and offers a suggestion for he and Tina. Meanwhile, Heather and Tina visit the cabin and Tina agrees it's perfect for a private tryst. At a concert sponsored by Sabrina's radio station, Jake and Josh play host to a couple of radio contest winners. Jake finds himself smitten with Brenda Ellis, the friend of the winner and following the show, he and Josh ask the girls to go dancing. Later that night, back at their apartment, the twins are talking and Jake admits asking Brenda out again. Toby takes Peter to the shelter he stayed at in San Francisco and introduces him to Eric Tolstoy, the young man wo runs it and who allowed Toby to stay there and work when Toby was on the run and amnesiac. Eric in need of volunteers and Peter, homeless except for his Tp quarets, is anxious to help out. Toby leaves Peter and Eric talking about he plight of the homeless, many of them teenagers like himself, homeless by choice. Back in Mexico, Kelly has spent several hours trying to figure out an escape plan and having used a nail to cut through his bonds, he has checked to make sure the cell is not monitored and again summoning everything he has, he manages to unlock the cell door. Peering out of a crack, Kelly spies a golf cart just down the corridor and pulls himself towards it. Just as he manages to climb in and start it up, Daniel and his goons come running behind him. Using his paralyzed foot as a weight, Kelly hits the gas and blasts down the corridor, trying to outrun Daniel. Punching buttons at random on the dash, he opens a door at the end of the corridor and suddenly he is in the Mexican sunshine. Glancing back at Daniel, he hurriedly calls TIM, who jaunts him back just in the nick of time. Galloway, livid with anger, tells Daniel and his guards they are in deep trouble. Upstairs, as Kelly tells of his adventures, Hawk and Evan, along with everyone else, praise him and promise they won't ever doubt his ability as a full fledged Tp again. As the group listening breaks up, Jake and Josh pull the young man aside and ask for his help on a project for the upcoming wedding. Kelly, hearing what they want, at first, refuses, but with subtle badgering, finally he agrees to help out. MY NOTES: Okay, if Kelly didn't survive this, then Hawk and Evan would figure too bad about him and handicapped people? I don't get the message here and I am not sure I like it. Dianne Elliot's wonderful material here seems to be fresh and exciting but unfortunately, TC didn't credit which storylines were his and which were Dianne's. On the whole, I would say her's were the more entertaining ones. Not that his were all that bad either. The plotlines here are good; I just don't like the implications of Hawk and Evan's prejudice against handicapped people. That it struck a nerve may be good reason to say it is one of the more thought provoking story ideas. 210-A YEAR IN THE LIFE (Three Hour Special) 211-LOCKSMITHING IS THE FAMILY TRADE 212-BEAT OF A DANCER 213-CULT PERSONALITIES 214-INTERIOR EMOTIONS 215-ELECTIVE MURDER 216-SPACED OUT 217-BURNING QUESTIONS 218-LIARS AND ASSASSINS 219-HEART OF A HEALER 220-TALENTS NEVER FORGOTTEN 221-HOUR OF RELIGIOUS SIGNIFICANCE 222-DEATH WITHIN A DREAM 223-APARTHEID HO! 224-EPIDEMIC HOMOPHOBIA 225-BETRAYED TRUSTS 226-DEATH BY FIRING SQUAD 227-ASTRONOMICAL ODDS 228-PHOTOGRAPHIC ENHANCEMENT 229-MEDICINE IN A MISSILE SILO 230-INSIDE/OUTSIDE 231-ARM, HAMMER,---AND SICKLE 232-COMMUNIST FEVER 233-EVERY PICTURE TELL A STORY 234-INCRIMINATING EVIDENCE 235-FREEDOM TO CHOOSE, FREEDOM TO DIE 236-MOLE IN OUR MIDST 237-VENGEANCE OF A SHAPE CHANGER ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- From: CMento6653@aol.com Subject: TPFICT: whoops that should read SEASON 8 Date: 19 Apr 2000 13:08:08 EDT Sorry about that, chief! It should read SEASON 8. Not to confuse you more than you already may be! THE TOMORROW PEOPLE Original Series Extended to 1980s and 1990 TC Universe Season 8-Episodes Overall numbering is 202 to 209 Posted by Cmento 1989-1990 202-DELIVERANCE As Sogguth attempts to ravage Shirewood, Jeremy, Damien, and Cesee put the containment ceremony into action. Halfway through the ceremony, Sogguth attacks and injures Jeremy; Damien jumps in and completes the ceremony. As Sogguth is forced to retreat to the bowels of the Earth once again, the purely evil entity tries to drag everything and everyone along with him. It is Andrew who stops to protect his friends, especially the helpless Jeb. In the cave below Aerie, Amanda is saved by the ghost of Sir Edward, who stepped in to protect his beloved granddaughter. Everything begins to normalize once again as the hole opened by Cesee and Jeremy closes. As everyone recovers from the battle, the medical team strains itself to the limit to stabilize Heather, whose injuries and very grave. Jake, Josh, and Trent are also worried about Jeb and how much of what happened to him he will remember. When he comes to, he remembers only snatches until he sees Heather lying on one of the beds. He becomes hysterical and the team is forced to sedate him. Evan discovers Julia's broken body in the temple and dispatches a team to take her to the Trig for proper care. They can help her regain her identity. Senator Wolfe, the brother of Susan McCelland (Nicola Bryant of DOCTOR WHO), is touring a military installation when he discovers to his horror that they are planning on shooting the TP satellite down. Thanks to Jeb's earlier handiwork, they have finally pinpointed its location. Hawk, recovering from his injuries, makes known his request to remain on Earth for awhile. Trent is surprised that Hawk felt he had to ask permission. In Lynchberg, Virginia, a pair of brothers, arguing about something trivial, and under a lot of pressure from their mother's impending death from cancer, enter a bank to do some business, and are among 12 people taken hostage when robbers storm the bank. 203-HYPERSPATIAL HELL Jeb tortures himself over what he did to Heather, even though he had no control over himself at the time. As Cesee and Damien work to keep Sogguth's gateway permanently closed, Cesee causes a time ripple, and locates two Tomorrow People in a distant time. Locking onto the images, he pulls Mike and Brett back home, to everyone's surprise. In Lynchberg, when faced with a gun to his brother's head, Davy Carter (Seth Green) suddenly screams and vanishes before several witnesses. Daen (Kevin Cromley), his older brother, faints, and also disappears. Tim is picking up a violent telepathic impulse from hyper space. As Daen and Davy's lives hang in the balance, Trent and Toby, with guidance from TIM, manage to get to them just in time and bring them back to the satellite. When Daen comes to, he refuses to believe what has happened to himself and his little brother. The fact that their father is a minister and Daen is also considering the seminary, clouds his judgement until Trent forces him to accept the rality of the situation, in order to save a retreated Davy. Late at night, Heather suffers a setback, and the healers send John away so they can concentrate on saving her. John jaunts into Jeb's quarters and accuses the teenager of being a murderer, which leaves the already unstable 17 year old a wreck. Hurting and in tears, after John departs, Jeb packs up his things, and, fighting TIM all the way, leaves the satellite, flinging away his jaunting band at the last possible second. Trent and Chip, alerted by TIM, come in seconds too late. TIM brings them up to date on what has been happening, and Chip realizes that despite all their support, no one had bothered to tell Jeb that Heather would recover. On Earth, Jeb is alone, thinking he killed a close friend. The next day, as Heather awakens and Amanda is allowed to see her, she remembers what happened to her and the news about her pregnancy. Later that day, as all is quiet aboard the satellite, the word comes from the Pentagon and General Crampton gives the order: destroy the Tomorrow People satellite. 204-RELIGIOUS EXPERIENCE As the missiles hit the satellite, Trent orders everyone, including the injured, to Shirewood, as he, Toby, and John fight to get the satellite out of the missiles' path, and avoid any other attacks. Finally, they push the satellite into lunar orbit. At Shirewood, Amanda is spending time wiht "Uncle" Mike when she senses something different about him and alerts her mother. Heather discovers Mike is not Mike but Midor, a Sharonna native with his memory changed. She vows to find out what has happened to the real Mike and now Midor finds himself the center of attention, especially since even he thought he was Mike. On Earth the Reverend Harrison Hartford (Jack Horkheimer of PBS skywatch bits), a rising TV evangelist, has a meeting with the new President of the US James Shrube (Harry Morgan of MASH). His motives are to find out what he can about the Tomorrow People. Shrube is shocked to find out that the minister even knows about them. He advises caution when Harford tells him of his plan to expose them on his television show. Tina has realized that she is attracted to Stephen, who agrees to train her as a galactic agent, against his better judgement. Once things are back to normal on the satellite, she begins her training and makes a potential fatal mistake during a simuation. Stephen decides he cannot handle training her and tells her he will write a letter of introduction for her to give to his mentor, Harry Steen. Tina is crushed but agrees. Max and Toby begin to educate Daen and Davy about their new heritage and what they have become. When they tell their parents, both are shocked but Rev. James Carter (Monte Markham) is convinced that Daen and Davy, along with the other Tomorrow People, are the beginning of Revelations' 144,000 survivors of Armegeddon. Repairs on the satellite begin in lunar orbit. Trent admits to Samantha how worried he is about Jeb. Samantha tells him that Jeb will be back, when the time is right for him to feel accepted again. Trent, with the blessings of John, orders a formal hearing on Jeb's actions. John is surprised and angered when the members of the Tomorrow People find Jeb innocent due to posession by Sogguth. MY NOTES: Okay this episode makes an unusal mess out of lots of stuff: Mike is now played by someone not from the real show but here we find out he is not Mike after all, making all that happened to Mike since this new person played him not having happened to Mike at all but to an alien named Midor. This is sub standard story telling and comes right out of the sappy and blatantly dull soap DAYS OF OUR LIVES in its less than grand time period---John isn't John but really is...oh, who cares. Another note is John's anger at Jeb over having attacked Heather. While this creates good conflict, I cannot see John being so mad---but it makes sense that he is insensed at someone who attacked his wife. Yet John was taken over by Soggoth too once. I reminded TC of this and this was how it was to be resolved. It is somewhat resolved in THE STORY OF ROLLIN written by me. THE STORY OF ROLLIN also introduced some minister that was against Rollin, a Tomorrow Person, thus you can see some of TC's ripping off of my story in that and again, introduced before Rollin was. 205-MISTAKEN IDENTITY Heather asks Kenny to try and find out what happened to the real Mike (SIGH) while Midor, upset about the turn of events is forced to face who he really is. Tina, preparing to leave for the Trig, is stopped by Hawk, who convinces her that it is Stephen she wants, not to become a galactic agent. Hawk makes her realize that she loves Stephen and she should stick around and fight for him. Toby, having some time on his hands, decides to contact Tanya Turquel (Ami Dolenz), unsure of how she will feel about him, since he had no memory of his own life the last time he had seen her. On a yacht, a rich young college student, daydreaming about an upcoming race, suddenly finds himself on a nearby yacht, with no clue as to how he got there, until contacted by Max, who tracks down the newest TP, Marcus Bradley the Third (Phillip Tanzini). Kenny, working for Heather, discovers that Mike is being held hostage and prisoner on Arracon, a warlike, non psi planet, by Alexia (Marj Dusay) , who was thought to have died on Sharonna. As the Tp decide how to mount a rescue mission, Mike suffers from the three years of imprisonment and torture. Arrakel (Wayne Northrup) , Alexia's chief henchman, takes great delight in torturing and hurting the powerless TP. Back on Earth, Sabrina Sands (MTV's Martha Quinn) has watched the TP as they recovered from the Sogguth crisis and is amazed how much strength Trent has shown as their leader.

Kelly is visibly hurt, but tells them of his extremely busy life, his coaching Special Olympics Kids, his 14 hour class schedule and more. The two are somewhat placasted and Evan volunteers to teach Kelly all about what he can do, and how to keep himself from being tempted. Kelly eagerly agrees and over the next week, pushes himself to prove himself to his mentor. But there is a problem brewing: Daniel has eavesdropped on the past two meetings, and Matthew Galloway is planning to spirit Kelly away. He thinks a TP, handicapped and still mostly untrained, will make an excellent guinea pig. A week following his breakout, Kelly returns home to his dorm, where his friend and roomate Tom is waiting for him. He questions Kelly and despite their friendship, Kelly gets angry when Tom's questions get too nosy. Wheeling around from facing his friend, he suddenly feels a prick on the back of his neck. As he blacks out, he sees Tom's face shimmer, replaced by the sneering, unfamiliar face of a young man with flaming red hair. Jeb has come out of hiding, after taking a couple of months to sort out his life. He decides he needs some help and guidance and a young blond man convinces him that the best place to find solstace is in the Ring of Life. Jeb knows it is a religious cult but decides to give it a try anyway. Back on Arrakon, the Tp come face to face with the helpless Mike but before they have a chance to do anything, Alexia's troops storm the bunker where he's being held captive. The Tp find themselves fighting for their lives and watch as the tide of the battle turns against them, until Dreidal spies a locked room in the fortress. Slipping the lock and entering the room with Marcus on his heels, Driedal is overjoyed to have found Alexia's power crystal again. Marcus, who came on this mission for fun and found himself fighting to stay alive, plants a small bomb on the crystal, and the two exit. Suddenly, the entire fortress explodes as Marcus yells for everyone to jaunt which they do, just in the nick of time. Charles holds the weak and battered Mike in his arms as from a nearby hilltop, they watch the finish of the explosion. There is no doubt this time, Alexia and her power crystal will never be a threat again. In the rubble of the crystal, a badly injured Alexia vows revenge someday as she watches the figures of her enemies fade into nothingness. Arriving back on Sharonna, Jake tends to Mike whle Stephen contacts Trent, reports their success and that they'll bring him home in a few days. Outside Aerie, Amanda has a run in with a girl from a neighboring ranch and she and this girl, Becky hit it off instantly. Amanda has to watch herself carefully, being sure not to use her powers around her newfound friend. Becky invites Amanda over to watch videos, asking her if she likes Telegramm and their music. Amanda almost slips and calls Jake and Josh her friends since they are, but catches herself and says the are her favorites instead. MY NOTES: Have I missed something here? POINT OF NO RETURN's story continues but isn't it Alexia who is holding Mike, thus, why does she have to storm the stronghold where Mike is being held? Were their factions among her troops who wanted Mike? Was Mike being held by someone other than Alexia? What gives? Add to this that TC, while making up some good names for his alien characters (well most of the time), cannot spell the same name the same way each time. Arracon and Arrakon, Dreidal and Driedal. These have been typed as they are in the book. I take it they typing errors only. There was one spot where Amanda was typed as Ananda so I fixed that. But I am not sure of some the spellings of the alien names--I mean which is correct? Thus, I keep the alien names and more exotic names as they appear in the books. This story is well plotted though but again, TC has a way of rushing through details in the writing. At least one sentence above makes no sense grammatically: At the general meeting the next night, Hawk and Evan, representing both himself and Toby, express concern at Kelly's handicap, unsure if he will be able to lead the full life of a Tomorrow Person. Hawk and Evan, representing both himself ? And why would they need to represent Toby? Why so much concern over Kelly being handicapped? Doesn't he have a right to be a TP? 209-OVERDUE HOMECOMINGS Tina heads to Aerie, wanting to talk to Heather about the situation with Stephen and herself. She wants to talk to a friend who has had experience. Heather offers up she and John's secluded cabin in the Canadian wilderness as a retreat. Tina likes the idea but isn't sure she cna interest Stephen and doesn't think John would approve. Heather tells her not to worry about John. Laughing, they head upstairs to prepare of Mike's coming home party. When he arrives, many of the Tp are shocked to see him in such bad condition, but is Amanda who breaks the ice, willingly jumping into Mike's weak but waiting arms. Somewhere in Mexico, a groggy Kelly finally comes to to find himself strapped to a table and tightly gagged. He tries to summon the others but for some reason, none of his calls are getting through. Suddenly a door slides back and two people stroll in. He recognizes one as the young man who kidnapped him and the other as soneone from Evan's dilligent instruction: Matthew Galloway. Ording Daniel to remove Kelly's gaag, Galloway tells the young man what he has planned for him. Kelly tries to put on a brave front, secretly hoping his fear doesn't make him wet his pants. As the two leave, Daniel gags him once again and Kelly is left alone in the room. Suddenly, pulling on the straps, he realizes that one isn't as tight as the other and after a few moments, he slips his left out of the strap. Pulling the gag from his mouth and unbuckling the other straps, Kelly knows he has to find an escape route. Edging himself off the table and onto the floor, Kelly pulls himself out the door, and spies another door across the hall. Getting there, he musters his strength and uses his limited telekinesis to open the lock. As he opens the door, he nearly falls down a flight of narrow stairs. Suddenly, Daniel is standing over him, and Kelly is whisked awya to a dark cell and thrown on the floor, his hands bounc behind his back. Daniel tells him the loose strap was a test of his abilities, then slams the door leaving Kelly in total darkness. Tears of fear streaming down his face, Kelly vows to keep trying to escape. He won't have Evan's and Hawk's fears about him become reality. Back on the satellite, Stephen confesses to John how he can't stop thinking about Jani, since Jeremy's ultra realistic illusion during their battle with Galloway. John knows what Heather has planned and offers a suggestion for he and Tina. Meanwhile, Heather and Tina visit the cabin and Tina agrees it's perfect for a private tryst. At a concert sponsored by Sabrina's radio station, Jake and Josh play host to a couple of radio contest winners. Jake finds himself smitten with Brenda Ellis, the friend of the winner and following the show, he and Josh ask the girls to go dancing. Later that night, back at their apartment, the twins are talking and Jake admits asking Brenda out again. Toby takes Peter to the shelter he stayed at in San Francisco and introduces him to Eric Tolstoy, the young man wo runs it and who allowed Toby to stay there and work when Toby was on the run and amnesiac. Eric in need of volunteers and Peter, homeless except for his Tp quarets, is anxious to help out. Toby leaves Peter and Eric talking about he plight of the homeless, many of them teenagers like himself, homeless by choice. Back in Mexico, Kelly has spent several hours trying to figure out an escape plan and having used a nail to cut through his bonds, he has checked to make sure the cell is not monitored and again summoning everything he has, he manages to unlock the cell door. Peering out of a crack, Kelly spies a golf cart just down the corridor and pulls himself towards it. Just as he manages to climb in and start it up, Daniel and his goons come running behind him. Using his paralyzed foot as a weight, Kelly hits the gas and blasts down the corridor, trying to outrun Daniel. Punching buttons at random on the dash, he opens a door at the end of the corridor and suddenly he is in the Mexican sunshine. Glancing back at Daniel, he hurriedly calls TIM, who jaunts him back just in the nick of time. Galloway, livid with anger, tells Daniel and his guards they are in deep trouble. Upstairs, as Kelly tells of his adventures, Hawk and Evan, along with everyone else, praise him and promise they won't ever doubt his ability as a full fledged Tp again. As the group listening breaks up, Jake and Josh pull the young man aside and ask for his help on a project for the upcoming wedding. Kelly, hearing what they want, at first, refuses, but with subtle badgering, finally he agrees to help out. MY NOTES: Okay, if Kelly didn't survive this, then Hawk and Evan would figure too bad about him and handicapped people? I don't get the message here and I am not sure I like it. Dianne Elliot's wonderful material here seems to be fresh and exciting but unfortunately, TC didn't credit which storylines were his and which were Dianne's. On the whole, I would say her's were the more entertaining ones. Not that his were all that bad either. The plotlines here are good; I just don't like the implications of Hawk and Evan's prejudice against handicapped people. That it struck a nerve may be good reason to say it is one of the more thought provoking story ideas. 210-A YEAR IN THE LIFE (Three Hour Special) 211-LOCKSMITHING IS THE FAMILY TRADE 212-BEAT OF A DANCER 213-CULT PERSONALITIES 214-INTERIOR EMOTIONS 215-ELECTIVE MURDER 216-SPACED OUT 217-BURNING QUESTIONS 218-LIARS AND ASSASSINS 219-HEART OF A HEALER 220-TALENTS NEVER FORGOTTEN 221-HOUR OF RELIGIOUS SIGNIFICANCE 222-DEATH WITHIN A DREAM 223-APARTHEID HO! 224-EPIDEMIC HOMOPHOBIA 225-BETRAYED TRUSTS 226-DEATH BY FIRING SQUAD 227-ASTRONOMICAL ODDS 228-PHOTOGRAPHIC ENHANCEMENT 229-MEDICINE IN A MISSILE SILO 230-INSIDE/OUTSIDE 231-ARM, HAMMER,---AND SICKLE 232-COMMUNIST FEVER 233-EVERY PICTURE TELL A STORY 234-INCRIMINATING EVIDENCE 235-FREEDOM TO CHOOSE, FREEDOM TO DIE 236-MOLE IN OUR MIDST 237-VENGEANCE OF A SHAPE CHANGER ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- From: "Jen Sulzer" Subject: TPFICT: Family Ties 3/6 Date: 19 Apr 2000 20:51:47 -0400 *PLEASE READ* Title: Family Ties, 3/6 Author/pseudonym: Jen Email address: jsulzer@kent.edu Rating: PG for some violence Focus: All Season 2 members for P:TL, The entire NS team (except for Lisa) for TP.

Chapter Three Angel Island, the Living Room =93And so, after we retrieved the artifact, the spirits simply vanished!=94= Alex told a politely attentive Barbara. She glanced over to the doorway--Carr= ie was taking longer than the promised five minutes, and the researcher was doing her best to stall for her. She was psychically sensitive enough, though, to notice a =93disturbance in the Force=94 as Nick would have put= it, and those =93disturbances=94 usually meant another teleporter was nearby. =91I just hope Carrie doesn=92t get any ideas about telling Barbara right= away!=92 the researcher thought to herself. =91I can just imagine the fireworks t= hat would cause!--Speak of the devil,=94 she added as Carrie stepped through = the doorway. =93Ah, hello, everyone. How=92s everything going?=94 the redhead remarke= d nervously. =91Oh, that was real smooth, Carrie! You sound like you=92re= in third grade!=92 she mentally berated herself. =93We were beginning to think you were never going to come down!=94 Alex= joked, coming over and putting a reassuring hand on Carrie=92s shoulder. =93Don= =92t worry--you=92re going to be fine,=94 she whispered into the teleporter=92= s ear. Carrie managed a brief smile just before her grandmother approached. =93Hello, dear,=94 Barbara Rayne greeted her granddaughter warmly. =93I = do hope you=92re feeling better--you looked slightly ill before,=94 she commented= with a smile. =93Yes, well, I was feeling a little dizzy earlier, but I=92m okay now,=94= Carrie replied, giving her grandmother a grateful smile for the excuse. Barbara quickly took her by the arm and led her over to the couch. =93So, tell me about yourself, dear,=94 Mrs. Rayne instructed as Derek, A= lex, and Nick made a discreet exit. =93I=92m afraid there=92s nothing I didn=92t tell you on the phone,=94 Ca= rrie replied. =91Well, except for the fact that my friends and I have psi abilities tha= t we use to save the world every now and then,=92 she thought to herself wryly. =93Are you certain? I=92ve missed so much of your life,=94 her grandmothe= r commented. =93I don=92t even know your favorite food or color.=94 =93Pizza and dark blue,=94 Carrie replied without missing a beat. Both R= ayne women shared a laugh, but a discreet knock at the door interrupted their conversation before it could go any further. Carrie and Barbara both ros= e to answer it, but Carrie reached the door first. =93I=92ve got it, Grandmother,=94 she said as she reached for the doorkno= b. Barbara smiled at being addressed that way for the first time. =93Yes, Domenic?=94 Carrie asked upon seeing the majordomo on the other = side of the door. =93I do apologize for the interruption, Miss Carolyn,=94 the manservant b= egan. Carrie smiled; the majordomo was the only person who insisted on calling = her by her full name. =93but your father requests your presence in his offic= e for a moment.=94 Domenic smiled apologetically. =93Of course, Domenic,=94 she responded. =93Please tell him I=92ll be the= re in a minute.=94 The majordomo nodded, and then crisply turned and proceeded d= own the hallway. Carrie turned back to the inside of the room and began to explain the situation to her grandmother. =93Don=92t worry, dear--I completely understand,=94 her grandmother repli= ed with a wave of her hand. =93Yeah, duty calls,=94 Carrie replied with a grateful smile as she exite= d the room. ****** Another darkened room Michael came into the room with a measured stride, confident that all was going to plan. All except for Ariel, of course--she would bear watching. As a precaution, Michael checked the lock on the door as he shut it behin= d him. =91Time for the local report,=92 he thought to himself, running a hand th= rough his blond hair as he sat at the large desk which was the principal piece = of furniture in the room. He opened a drawer, and pulled out a medium-sized velvet pouch. It was black in color, of course. He unfastened the closu= re, and shook out a round, clear crystal about the size of the palm of his ha= nd. Settling the crystal in the middle of his desk, Michael held his hands ou= t above it, and began chanting softly in Latin. A moment later, the stone began to glow with an unearthly green light, and a voice issued from it. =93What news?=94 the voice asked sharply. Michael allowed himself a smal= l smile before he replied. =93Our plan to capture and convert those =91teleporters=92 has moved forw= ard, and everything is falling into place,=94 he reported. =93What of the witch?=94 the voice asked. Michael=92s expression changed= to a frown. =93She is with us for the moment, but her allegiances may be wavering. Perhaps you could arrange to send me another mage?=94 he replied, trying = to keep his voice light, but still hint at future possibilities. =93You will make do with the resources you have,=94 the voice instructed = coldly. The crystal then fell dark, and no efforts Michael made could reestablish the connection. ****** Angel Island, the Hallway =91What=92s going on here?=92 Carrie wondered as she approached her fath= er=92s office. =91First he =93forgets=94 to tell me my grandmother is coming to= visit, and then he yanks me out of the room just as I begin to feel comfortable with her!=92 Carrie stepped through the doors as they slid open before her, intending = to give her father a piece of her mind. She came up short, though, as soon = as she saw the worried expression on his face. =93What=92s wrong?=94 she asked instantly, moving to stand beside him at = his desk. Derek managed a ghost of a smile, and indicated that she take a seat. Af= ter a moment=92s hesitation, she did so. =93Hey, it=92s not that bad. Actua= lly, Gran and I getting along pretty well, considering.=94 Her father=92s smile wa= s more real this time, and Carrie took that as a good sign. =93I=92m glad of that, but that=92s not why I needed to see you,=94 her f= ather remarked. =93I just received a fax from Frank Karmack down at the police station. There was a robbery last night=85a witness described the perpet= rator appearing in a flash of light, and then disappearing in a similar manner.= =94 Carrie=92s jaw dropped as she sat in shocked silence for a moment, but sh= e quickly recovered herself. =93Well, it sure wasn=92t one of us!=94 she exclaimed. =93There=92s more, I=92m afraid,=94 Derek went on. =93The owner of the s= tore was killed by some sort of invisible force, possibly a telekinetic blast of s= ome sort.=94 =93Now you know for sure it wasn=92t us! For heaven=92s sake, we can=92t= kill!=94 his daughter exclaimed angrily. The Dutchman nodded calmly, causing Carrie t= o blush with embarrassment at her overreaction. =93Yes, I know that,=94 Derek reminded his daughter. =93Could you check = with the others, just to make sure of their whereabouts? If any of them were near= by, it=92s possible someone saw them and made up this story,=94 Derek asked. = Carrie snickered. =93If they came up with that story,=94 she commented, =93they=92d have to= be drunk. Oh, I get it!=94 she commented at her father=92s smile and nod. Carrie=92= s eyes took on an unfocused appearance as she contacted the others. :Hey, guys, I hate to do this to you, but I need to know last night around,=85: she returned to reality for a moment to glance at her father. =93When did it happen?=94 she asked. =93About a quarter after midnight,=94 was the reply, after Derek checked = a paper lying on his desk. :Around a quarter after midnight last night, California time. A shopkeep= er was robbed and then murdered, and a witness described the culprit appeari= ng and disappearing in a flash of light.: Carrie explained. The replies we= re quick in coming. :I was in my room, studying for my Chem exam,: Ami replied in her clippe= d British accent. :Dad was working late, so Kev and I rented some movies and got pizza,: Megabyte =91pathed. :Yeah, and we had to stay up all night watching bad movies and eating col= d pizza!: was Kevin=92s reply, which brought a smile to Carrie=92s face. :I was on my way to school, like you two should=92ve been!: Jade chimed i= n. :She=92s got a point, Megabyte. That=92d be quarter after eight, London = time,: Carrie observed with a smile. :Why walk to school when you can teleport? And besides, I took a year of= f before college, remember?: Megabyte asked mischievously. :It=92s kind of hard to teleport when your mother watches you out the win= dow every morning to make sure you actually get on the bus!: Jade retorted. :All right, you two, that=92s enough,: Adam stepped in, but his mental =93= voice=94 lacked its usual authority. In fact, he sounded more tired than anything. :I was here on the island.: he finished quietly, and then withdrew from = the conversation. Carrie frowned for a moment, but decided now was not the t= ime to pursue the matter. :What=92re we going to do?: Megabyte asked. :I don=92t know yet. I=92ll get back to you when I have more information. Thanks, guys.: Carrie opened her eyes as she broke the mental link. =93No one was even close to that area,=94 she reported. =93I don=92t kno= w what=92s going on here, but it=92s definitely something we should look into.=94 =93Agreed,=94 the Dutchman replied. =93Perhaps we can work together this= time?=94 he asked with a smile. =93Well, we can always try,=94 his daughter replied, with an answering gr= in. :You know, we should probably check this place out, before too much more time passes,: Ami interjected. Everyone else =91pathed their mental agreements, even a reluctant Adam. =93Could you make my excuses to Grandmother?=94 Carrie asked her father a= s she rose from her chair. Her father replied with an elegantly raised eyebrow. =93Hey, if we really are being framed for murder,=94 Carrie told him, =93= we=92d better check it out before the trail gets any colder.=94 Derek considere= d this for a moment, then nodded. =93All right, but I have a feeling Mother isn=92t going to like this,=94 = he replied. Carrie laughed out loud at his pained expression. =93Hey, she=92s family--just tell her something=92s come up.=94 =93What kind of =91something=92?=94 her father asked. =93Oh, I=92m sure you=92ll think of =91something=92,=94 Carrie remarked w= ith a sly smile. =93I=92ll be back as soon as possible,=94 she promised just befor= e disappearing in a flash of light, leaving Derek to try and come up with a= n excuse that his mother wouldn=92t see through in an instant. =91This is going to take a miracle,=92 the Dutchman thought to himself wi= th a shake of his head. ****** A darkened room somewhere in San Francisco =93So, how is the great plan going?=94 the tall, blond man asked from his= seat by the fireplace as a dark haired woman entered the room. =93Exactly according to schedule,=94 she responded, gracefully taking a s= eat in the chair across from him. =93My sources tell me Rayne has been appraise= d of the =93incident,=94 and he will undoubtedly relay the details to his daug= hter.=94 =93And after that, it=92s only a matter of time,=94 Michael finished, lea= ning forward eagerly. =93I must say, Ari, this plan of yours is brilliant. A= ll we have to do is dangle this =91carrot=92 in front of their noses, and they=92= ll come to us!=94 =93And when they do,=94 Ariel commented with a tight smile. =93They won=92= t be able to escape, despite all their =91special powers=92!=94 The two of them sh= ared a dry laugh, and then Michael rose from his seat and strode towards the doo= r. =93Much as I hate to leave your delightful company, my dear, I really mus= t begin preparations for our =93guests.=94 They will undoubtedly be arrivi= ng shortly.=94 With a cold smile, he strode from the room, leaving his dark haired companion to gaze into the fire. =93Yes, he will be here shortly, and then I will know the truth=85=94 she= thought to herself, clasping her hands in her lap as the flames seemed to leap higher under the intensity of her gaze. She didn=92t realize Michael was silently observing her every move from just beyond the slightly open door. ****** Outside Baker=92s Meats, San Francisco No one paid much attention to the small group of young people gathered outside the deli turned gory crime scene. If anyone even noticed them, t= hey assumed they were simply a group of curious, morbid teenagers. That was = the farthest thing from the truth, however. The group of young teleporters clustered tightly together, discussing their plan of action. :For the last time, Jade, you can=92t look inside!: Ami admonished the yo= unger girl, who, for all her attempts at being mature, pouted. It hadn=92t bee= n the initial plan to involve the younger two in this grisly crime, but Jade ha= d thrown a fit at the thought of being left out of the excitement, and Megabyte had dragged Kevin along anyway, saying he =93needed to get out m= ore.=94 :Adam and Megabyte got to look!: Jade replied. Ami rolled her eyes and turned to Adam for support. To her surprise, however, help didn=92t come= from the Australian who sat on a set of concrete steps, deep in thought. :Trust me, kid, it=92s nasty in there. It=92d give you nightmares for at= least a month. Think of the five goriest movies you=92ve ever seen and put the= m together--that=92s how bad it is in there.: A shaken-looking Megabyte sob= erly put in, giving Jade something to think about. He continued on a private channel to Ami and Adam. :How anyone could think we did this is beyond m= e.: :No one thinks that, Megabyte. Derek just wanted to make sure no one had seen us around here and gotten the wrong idea, remember?: Ami replied. :There=92s Carrie,: Adam suddenly broke into the conversation. Ami glanc= ed in the direction he was looking, and smiled to see Carrie quickly approachin= g them. =93Hey guys, how is it in there?=94 she asked, gesturing in the direction= of the roped-off store. =93Very, very nasty,=94 Megabyte replied. =93I wouldn=92t recommend look= ing, if I were you.=94 Carrie raised an eyebrow. =93It must be really bad to get that reaction from you, Megabyte,=94 she commented to the computer hacker, who nodded grimly in reply. =93So, now what?=94 Carrie asked, turning to Adam, who had remained silent for the l= ast few minutes, with his pendant tightly clutched in one hand. =93Earth to Adam!=94 Carrie remarked a few moments later, putting a hand on his sho= ulder after the Australian failed to answer. He abruptly snapped back to reali= ty. :Someone=92s watching us!: he exclaimed, jumping to his feet and running across the street, into an apparently abandoned building. The remaining teleporters glanced at each other in confusion for a moment, then took of= f after their leader. ****** Angel Island, Derek=92s Office =93Derek, may I speak with you for a moment?=94 the Dutchman glanced up t= o see his mother standing just inside the doorway. =93Of course, Mother. I can finish this paperwork later,=94 he replied, = pushing a stack of papers to one side of his desk. =93What=92s on your mind?=94 = Barbara Rayne graciously took the seat her son offered, and then sighed. =93I know you have secrets from me, son, just as your father did. I came= to terms with that awhile ago,=94 his mother told him. Derek nodded, rememb= ering her last visit, where they had finally made peace with each other. =93However, that is not the case where Carrie is concerned,=94 Barbara continued. =93 I know she=92s keeping something from me, and I need to k= now what it is. Tell me, Derek, what=92s going on here?=94 It was clear tha= t Barbara Rayne was determined to find an answer, but her son tried to fend her off as best he could. =93I believe this is a question Carrie should be answering herself,=94 he replied, earning a sigh from his mother. =93I did try to ask her first, but she seems to have disappeared again,=94= she replied. After a moment=92s thought, she continued. =93Actually, the la= st time I saw her, she was on her way to your office. What happened to her, Dere= k?=94 Barbara Rayne challenged. =93Carrie asked me to tell you she had some urgent business to take care = of,=94 Derek stated, hoping that, for once, his mother would be satisfied with a simple explanation. =93And what =91business=92 would this be?=94 his mother asked, giving her= son an appraising glance. =93A friend called her,=94 Derek replied. =93A friend who needed her hel= p very badly.=94 =93Would this =91friend,=92=94 Barbara began, making it clear she wasn=92= t entirely convinced of Derek=92s excuse, =93happen to be Adam? She mentioned him t= o me on the phone,=94 she added upon seeing his surprised expression. =93Yes, it was,=94 Derek stated, hoping Carrie would return in time to pu= t an end to all of this. =93Well, then, why don=92t you give me his phone number, and I=92ll call = her,=94 his mother reasoned. =93You don=92t have to do that,=94 Derek jumped in. =93Why, Derek?=94 his mother asked. =93Is it because she=92s not really = there?=94 Barbara glanced at her son with a raised eyebrow that emphasized their kinship. ****** Near Baker=92s Meats, San Francisco :Ugh!: Jade exclaimed as they entered the long-abandoned building across = the street from the butcher shop turned crime scene. :This place is disgusting!: Indeed, it was--dust blanketed the floors of the bare rooms= , and shadows filled every corner. The team crept quietly down the dark hallway, trying to figure out where their leader had gone. Megabyte paus= ed to flip a light switch on a nearby wall, but nothing happened. :Guess somebody forgot to pay the light bill.: he joked, drawing a wither= ing look from Jade. :Megabyte, that one is so old--: she began. :Did anybody see which way Adam went?: Carrie interrupted as they came t= o a branch in the hallway. The others shook their heads. :Flip a coin?: Megabyte asked flippantly. Carrie was just about to repl= y to this when a sudden crash off to their right caught their attention. Immediately, the team headed in that direction. They burst into a room a few doors down the hall from where they had been earlier, and froze. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- From: CMento6653@aol.com Subject: TPFICT: tctp universe season 8--overall number 202 to 207 Date: 22 Apr 2000 01:01:11 EDT 202-DELIVERANCE As Sogguth attempts to ravage Shirewood, Jeremy, Damien, and Cesee put the containment ceremony into action.

It is Andrew who stops to protect his friends, especially the helpless Jeb. In the cave below Aerie, Amanda is saved by the ghost of Sir Edward, who stepped in to protect his beloved granddaughter. Everything begins to normalize once again as the hole opened by Cesee and Jeremy closes. As everyone recovers from the battle, the medical team strains itself to the limit to stabilize Heather, whose injuries and very grave. Jake, Josh, and Trent are also worried about Jeb and how much of what happened to him he will remember. When he comes to, he remembers only snatches until he sees Heather lying on one of the beds. He becomes hysterical and the team is forced to sedate him. Evan discovers Julia's broken body in the temple and dispatches a team to take her to the Trig for proper care. They can help her regain her identity. Senator Wolfe, the brother of Susan McCelland (Nicola Bryant of DOCTOR WHO), is touring a military installation when he discovers to his horror that they are planning on shooting the TP satellite down. Thanks to Jeb's earlier handiwork, they have finally pinpointed its location. Hawk, recovering from his injuries, makes known his request to remain on Earth for awhile. Trent is surprised that Hawk felt he had to ask permission. In Lynchberg, Virginia, a pair of brothers, arguing about something trivial, and under a lot of pressure from their mother's impending death from cancer, enter a bank to do some business, and are among 12 people taken hostage when robbers storm the bank. 203-HYPERSPATIAL HELL Jeb tortures himself over what he did to Heather, even though he had no control over himself at the time. As Cesee and Damien work to keep Sogguth's gateway permanently closed, Cesee causes a time ripple, and locates two Tomorrow People in a distant time. Locking onto the images, he pulls Mike and Brett back home, to everyone's surprise. In Lynchberg, when faced with a gun to his brother's head, Davy Carter (Seth Green) suddenly screams and vanishes before several witnesses. Daen (Kevin Cromley), his older brother, faints, and also disappears. Tim is picking up a violent telepathic impulse from hyper space. As Daen and Davy's lives hang in the balance, Trent and Toby, with guidance from TIM, manage to get to them just in time and bring them back to the satellite. When Daen comes to, he refuses to believe what has happened to himself and his little brother. The fact that their father is a minister and Daen is also considering the seminary, clouds his judgement until Trent forces him to accept the rality of the situation, in order to save a retreated Davy. Late at night, Heather suffers a setback, and the healers send John away so they can concentrate on saving her. John jaunts into Jeb's quarters and accuses the teenager of being a murderer, which leaves the already unstable 17 year old a wreck. Hurting and in tears, after John departs, Jeb packs up his things, and, fighting TIM all the way, leaves the satellite, flinging away his jaunting band at the last possible second. Trent and Chip, alerted by TIM, come in seconds too late. TIM brings them up to date on what has been happening, and Chip realizes that despite all their support, no one had bothered to tell Jeb that Heather would recover. On Earth, Jeb is alone, thinking he killed a close friend. The next day, as Heather awakens and Amanda is allowed to see her, she remembers what happened to her and the news about her pregnancy. Later that day, as all is quiet aboard the satellite, the word comes from the Pentagon and General Crampton gives the order: destroy the Tomorrow People satellite. 204-RELIGIOUS EXPERIENCE As the missiles hit the satellite, Trent orders everyone, including the injured, to Shirewood, as he, Toby, and John fight to get the satellite out of the missiles' path, and avoid any other attacks. Finally, they push the satellite into lunar orbit. At Shirewood, Amanda is spending time wiht "Uncle" Mike when she senses something different about him and alerts her mother. Heather discovers Mike is not Mike but Midor, a Sharonna native with his memory changed. She vows to find out what has happened to the real Mike and now Midor finds himself the center of attention, especially since even he thought he was Mike. On Earth the Reverend Harrison Hartford (Jack Horkheimer of PBS skywatch bits), a rising TV evangelist, has a meeting with the new President of the US James Shrube (Harry Morgan of MASH). His motives are to find out what he can about the Tomorrow People. Shrube is shocked to find out that the minister even knows about them. He advises caution when Harford tells him of his plan to expose them on his television show. Tina has realized that she is attracted to Stephen, who agrees to train her as a galactic agent, against his better judgement. Once things are back to normal on the satellite, she begins her training and makes a potential fatal mistake during a simuation. Stephen decides he cannot handle training her and tells her he will write a letter of introduction for her to give to his mentor, Harry Steen. Tina is crushed but agrees. Max and Toby begin to educate Daen and Davy about their new heritage and what they have become. When they tell their parents, both are shocked but Rev. James Carter (Monte Markham) is convinced that Daen and Davy, along with the other Tomorrow People, are the beginning of Revelations' 144,000 survivors of Armegeddon. Repairs on the satellite begin in lunar orbit. Trent admits to Samantha how worried he is about Jeb. Samantha tells him that Jeb will be back, when the time is right for him to feel accepted again. Trent, with the blessings of John, orders a formal hearing on Jeb's actions. John is surprised and angered when the members of the Tomorrow People find Jeb innocent due to posession by Sogguth. MY NOTES: Okay this episode makes an unusal mess out of lots of stuff: Mike is now played by someone not from the real show but here we find out he is not Mike after all, making all that happened to Mike since this new person played him not having happened to Mike at all but to an alien named Midor. This is sub standard story telling and comes right out of the sappy and blatantly dull soap DAYS OF OUR LIVES in its less than grand time period---John isn't John but really is...oh, who cares. Another note is John's anger at Jeb over having attacked Heather. While this creates good conflict, I cannot see John being so mad---but it makes sense that he is insensed at someone who attacked his wife. Yet John was taken over by Soggoth too once. I reminded TC of this and this was how it was to be resolved. It is somewhat resolved in THE STORY OF ROLLIN written by me. THE STORY OF ROLLIN also introduced some minister that was against Rollin, a Tomorrow Person, thus you can see some of TC's ripping off of my story in that and again, introduced before Rollin was. 205-MISTAKEN IDENTITY Heather asks Kenny to try and find out what happened to the real Mike (SIGH) while Midor, upset about the turn of events is forced to face who he really is. Tina, preparing to leave for the Trig, is stopped by Hawk, who convinces her that it is Stephen she wants, not to become a galactic agent. Hawk makes her realize that she loves Stephen and she should stick around and fight for him. Toby, having some time on his hands, decides to contact Tanya Turquel (Ami Dolenz), unsure of how she will feel about him, since he had no memory of his own life the last time he had seen her. On a yacht, a rich young college student, daydreaming about an upcoming race, suddenly finds himself on a nearby yacht, with no clue as to how he got there, until contacted by Max, who tracks down the newest TP, Marcus Bradley the Third (Phillip Tanzini). Kenny, working for Heather, discovers that Mike is being held hostage and prisoner on Arracon, a warlike, non psi planet, by Alexia (Marj Dusay) , who was thought to have died on Sharonna. As the Tp decide how to mount a rescue mission, Mike suffers from the three years of imprisonment and torture. Arrakel (Wayne Northrup) , Alexia's chief henchman, takes great delight in torturing and hurting the powerless TP. Back on Earth, Sabrina Sands (MTV's Martha Quinn) has watched the TP as they recovered from the Sogguth crisis and is amazed how much strength Trent has shown as their leader. He comes to see her but the two of them end up fighting about their age difference again until Trent says they should just get married and put the problem behind them once and for all. To both their surprise, Sabrina accepts his proposal and after a few months of fighting, their love had conquered their feelings. Their problems are beginning to fall by the wayside. MY NOTES: Two years before this came out, I came up with an American snob girl TP named Marette. TC said he wanted everyone that broke out in season 10 to be from a different country so I changed Marette to French and actually like her better as a French girl. Season 8 came out and here we got Marcus, a rich snob from NY who broke out during a race. Gee, Marette broke out during a bike race in France. Another TC rip off of my ideas and characters. 206-REVEREND OF THE MASSES Rev Hartford's first nationally telecast show attracts a large audience and he uses the time to blast "a group of dangerous mutants emerging in God's Kingdom, a society bred by Satan himself". This broadcast makes both Daen and Davy very uncomfortable, but they are not alone. On Earth, President Shrube and General Robert Crampton (John Pleshette) formulate another plan. Both would prefer not to have a group of super people watching their every move and England and the Soviet Union are in total agreement. Trent and Sabrina surprise everyone when they announce their wedding plans, bringing congratulations from all. Toby and Tanya meet in her hometown for the first time since Toby's recovery from amnesia. Both are not sure about the meeting, but want to see each other again. Toby is especially worried. He has never trusted his secrets with anyone but his parents and yet he knows if the relationship continues to grow, he will owe Tanya the truth of what had happened to him the first time they met. Max decides to take Cesee on a trip ot his orphanage, because the young man wants to know, see, and understand life on his mother's home planet. Carol is his mom. When the boys get there, a fellow resident named Lucy Webber (FULL HOUSE's Candace Cameron), takes a liking to Cesee and decides to teach him the Western way of life, with funny results. Cesse encounters chewing gum for the first time. Back on the satellite, Sabrina confesses to Tina, Heather, and Liz that she isn't sure of her worthiness to be Trent's bride, because of her lack of special powers. Liz, whose husband Gary is a Norm, assures her that she and Trent will find different ways to make their deep passionate love special. MY NOTES: Not bad but getting to be more and more like a tepid soap opera all the time. Dragging out stories is never a good idea, even on soaps. 207-HOT WHEELS Trent decides to launch a rescue attempt for Mike and calls on Tawny, JJ, and Sharonna's Prince Dreidal to assist, since all are familiar with Alexia. Charles, to everyone' surprise, agrees to lead the mission, which also includes Toby, Stephen, Tina, Lorraine, Marcus, and Jake. As preparations are underway, things are quiet. John and Heather prepare to do some baby shopping, but first Heather must have her exam. Chip insists. She and John postpone their trip for an hour. During the exam, Chip suddenly emerges from the examination room requesting John's presence, doing so without using the slightest trace of telepathy. John is alarmed, and when they are alone, Chip tells him that one of the twins failed to respond to Heather's enhanced telepathic call. After a few moments and with help from Jake and Josh, Chip is able to determine that one of the twins will be devoid of powers, due to Sogguth's influence. John and Heather are crushed but vow not to let it show or let it affect them too much, for other than being powerless, the baby is perfectly healthy. Later, Trent and John see the rescue party off, worried about what they might find. On Earth, a young psych major at the University of Nevada, Las Vegas is enjoying his twentieth birthday party with his friends at his favorite professor's home when he is suddenly stricken with a severe headache. Through his professor offers to get him some aspirin, he declines, saying he'll get it himself. In the large bathroom of the house, he pushes himself out of his wheelchair to reach the medicine cabinet and his chair rolls away. He forgot to lock the wheels. Angry with himself, suddenly a spasm of pain hits him. He screams, falling to the floor, and suddenly, he vanishes. Up on the satellite, Chip and TIM pick up a sudden empathic pulse, and Chip goes to investigate. Arriving at UNLV, he searches for a few moments and suddenly comes upon a student crumpled up in the rose bushes near the student library. Hastily making a decision, Chip brings him back to the satellite. When Kelly Ransom (Stewart Goddard) wakes up, he is very skeptical as to what has happened, until Chip demonstrates his telekinesis for him. Kelly quickly becomes very interested and Chip offers to take him on a tour of the satellite. Kelly is amused when he discovers that Chip doesn't know he can't walk. Undaunted, Chip pulls a chair from the medicenter, and proceeds to show Kelly the wonders of Tpdom. Kelly is the first handicapped Tomorrow Person. They decide to keep Kelly's breakout a secret until the general meeting the following evening. At the meeting, Chip gets very dramatic when he tells the others that a new TP has broken out. Chip introduces Kelly, who appears on the jaunting pad, wheelchair and all. Needless to say, the young doctor is pleased with himself when the others react with stunned surprise. Kelly is very nervous about the first meeting, but tries not to show it as Trent, glaring at Chip for not warning everyone, welcomes Kelly to the fold. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- From: CMento6653@aol.com Subject: TPFICT: tctp 208 to 213 Date: 22 Apr 2000 01:03:04 EDT 208-GAME, SET, AND MATCH On Arrakon, the Tp team and Driedal try to elicit information from the local people about where to find Mike but to no avail. One of the subjects makes a report to Alexia about strangers in the village. Alexia, using her power crystal, views the streets and discovers faces she knows. "So, at last they know," she muses. On Earth, tennis star Joaquim Arkensa (Larry Saltis from the shortlived and awful NEW MONKIES in the late 1980s), the younger brother of deceased Jobe Arkensa, is preparing for a major match against Ivan Lendl, when suddenly, he doubles over in pain while warming up on the court. He calls his coach, who excuses them for a moment, and he tells Joaquim to return to the locker room for a rest for a few moments before the match gets underway. Once in the locker room, Joaquim experiences another spasm of pain and suddenly realizes what is happening to him. He tries to gather his strength and manages to get off a weak norm thought message to Toby and Evan, then he collapses in a heap on the floor. When Joaquim comes to, he is in the medicenter and everyone including his close friend Evan are surprised he broke out. Tests conducted a few years ago showed that he wouldn't. Nevertheless, Joaquim is proud to follow in his beloved brother's footsteps, but decides to keep it a secret from his family for now. At the general meeting the next night, Hawk and Evan, representing both himself and Toby, express concern at Kelly's handicap, unsure if he will be able to lead the full life of a Tomorrow Person. Kelly is visibly hurt, but tells them of his extremely busy life, his coaching Special Olympics Kids, his 14 hour class schedule and more. The two are somewhat placated and Evan volunteers to teach Kelly all about what he can do, and how to keep himself from being tempted. Kelly eagerly agrees and over the next week, pushes himself to prove himself to his mentor. But there is a problem brewing: Daniel has eavesdropped on the past two meetings, and Matthew Galloway is planning to spirit Kelly away. He thinks a TP, handicapped and still mostly untrained, will make an excellent guinea pig. A week following his breakout, Kelly returns home to his dorm, where his friend and roomate Tom is waiting for him. He questions Kelly and despite their friendship, Kelly gets angry when Tom's questions get too nosy. Wheeling around from facing his friend, he suddenly feels a prick on the back of his neck. As he blacks out, he sees Tom's face shimmer, replaced by the sneering, unfamiliar face of a young man with flaming red hair. Jeb has come out of hiding, after taking a couple of months to sort out his life. He decides he needs some help and guidance and a young blond man convinces him that the best place to find solstace is in the Ring of Life. Jeb knows it is a religious cult but decides to give it a try anyway. Back on Arrakon, the Tp come face to face with the helpless Mike but before they have a chance to do anything, Alexia's troops storm the bunker where he's being held captive. The Tp find themselves fighting for their lives and watch as the tide of the battle turns against them, until Dreidal spies a locked room in the fortress. Slipping the lock and entering the room with Marcus on his heels, Driedal is overjoyed to have found Alexia's power crystal again. Marcus, who came on this mission for fun and found himself fighting to stay alive, plants a small bomb on the crystal, and the two exit. Suddenly, the entire fortress explodes as Marcus yells for everyone to jaunt which they do, just in the nick of time. Charles holds the weak and battered Mike in his arms as from a nearby hilltop, they watch the finish of the explosion. There is no doubt this time, Alexia and her power crystal will never be a threat again. In the rubble of the crystal, a badly injured Alexia vows revenge someday as she watches the figures of her enemies fade into nothingness. Arriving back on Sharonna, Jake tends to Mike whle Stephen contacts Trent, reports their success and that they'll bring him home in a few days. Outside Aerie, Amanda has a run in with a girl from a neighboring ranch and she and this girl, Becky hit it off instantly. Amanda has to watch herself carefully, being sure not to use her powers around her newfound friend. Becky invites Amanda over to watch videos, asking her if she likes Telegramm and their music. Amanda almost slips and calls Jake and Josh her friends since they are, but catches herself and says the are her favorites instead. MY NOTES: Have I missed something here? POINT OF NO RETURN's story continues but isn't it Alexia who is holding Mike, thus, why does she have to storm the stronghold where Mike is being held? Were their factions among her troops who wanted Mike? Was Mike being held by someone other than Alexia? What gives? Add to this that TC, while making up some good names for his alien characters (well most of the time), cannot spell the same name the same way each time. Arracon and Arrakon, Dreidal and Driedal. These have been typed as they are in the book. I take it they typing errors only. There was one spot where Amanda was typed as Ananda so I fixed that. But I am not sure of some the spellings of the alien names--I mean which is correct? Thus, I keep the alien names and more exotic names as they appear in the books. This story is well plotted though but again, TC has a way of rushing through details in the writing. At least one sentence above makes no sense grammatically: At the general meeting the next night, Hawk and Evan, representing both himself and Toby, express concern at Kelly's handicap, unsure if he will be able to lead the full life of a Tomorrow Person. Hawk and Evan, representing both himself ? And why would they need to represent Toby? Why so much concern over Kelly being handicapped? Doesn't he have a right to be a TP? 209-OVERDUE HOMECOMINGS Tina heads to Aerie, wanting to talk to Heather about the situation with Stephen and herself. She wants to talk to a friend who has had experience. Heather offers up she and John's secluded cabin in the Canadian wilderness as a retreat. Tina likes the idea but isn't sure she cna interest Stephen and doesn't think John would approve. Heather tells her not to worry about John. Laughing, they head upstairs to prepare of Mike's coming home party. When he arrives, many of the Tp are shocked to see him in such bad condition, but is Amanda who breaks the ice, willingly jumping into Mike's weak but waiting arms. Somewhere in Mexico, a groggy Kelly finally comes to to find himself strapped to a table and tightly gagged. He tries to summon the others but for some reason, none of his calls are getting through. Suddenly a door slides back and two people stroll in. He recognizes one as the young man who kidnapped him and the other as soneone from Evan's dilligent instruction: Matthew Galloway. Ording Daniel to remove Kelly's gaag, Galloway tells the young man what he has planned for him. Kelly tries to put on a brave front, secretly hoping his fear doesn't make him wet his pants. As the two leave, Daniel gags him once again and Kelly is left alone in the room. Suddenly, pulling on the straps, he realizes that one isn't as tight as the other and after a few moments, he slips his left out of the strap. Pulling the gag from his mouth and unbuckling the other straps, Kelly knows he has to find an escape route. Edging himself off the table and onto the floor, Kelly pulls himself out the door, and spies another door across the hall. Getting there, he musters his strength and uses his limited telekinesis to open the lock. As he opens the door, he nearly falls down a flight of narrow stairs. Suddenly, Daniel is standing over him, and Kelly is whisked awya to a dark cell and thrown on the floor, his hands bounc behind his back. Daniel tells him the loose strap was a test of his abilities, then slams the door leaving Kelly in total darkness. Tears of fear streaming down his face, Kelly vows to keep trying to escape. He won't have Evan's and Hawk's fears about him become reality. Back on the satellite, Stephen confesses to John how he can't stop thinking about Jani, since Jeremy's ultra realistic illusion during their battle with Galloway. John knows what Heather has planned and offers a suggestion for he and Tina. Meanwhile, Heather and Tina visit the cabin and Tina agrees it's perfect for a private tryst. At a concert sponsored by Sabrina's radio station, Jake and Josh play host to a couple of radio contest winners. Jake finds himself smitten with Brenda Ellis, the friend of the winner and following the show, he and Josh ask the girls to go dancing. Later that night, back at their apartment, the twins are talking and Jake admits asking Brenda out again. Toby takes Peter to the shelter he stayed at in San Francisco and introduces him to Eric Tolstoy, the young man wo runs it and who allowed Toby to stay there and work when Toby was on the run and amnesiac. Eric in need of volunteers and Peter, homeless except for his Tp quarters, is anxious to help out. Toby leaves Peter and Eric talking about he plight of the homeless, many of them teenagers like himself, homeless by choice. Back in Mexico, Kelly has spent several hours trying to figure out an escape plan and having used a nail to cut through his bonds, he has checked to make sure the cell is not monitored and again summoning everything he has, he manages to unlock the cell door. Peering out of a crack, Kelly spies a golf cart just down the corridor and pulls himself towards it. Just as he manages to climb in and start it up, Daniel and his goons come running behind him. Using his paralyzed foot as a weight, Kelly hits the gas and blasts down the corridor, trying to outrun Daniel. Punching buttons at random on the dash, he opens a door at the end of the corridor and suddenly he is in the Mexican sunshine. Glancing back at Daniel, he hurriedly calls TIM, who jaunts him back just in the nick of time. Galloway, livid with anger, tells Daniel and his guards they are in deep trouble. Upstairs, as Kelly tells of his adventures, Hawk and Evan, along with everyone else, praise him and promise they won't ever doubt his ability as a full fledged Tp again. As the group listening breaks up, Jake and Josh pull the young man aside and ask for his help on a project for the upcoming wedding. Kelly, hearing what they want, at first, refuses, but with subtle badgering, finally he agrees to help out. MY NOTES: Okay, if Kelly didn't survive this, then Hawk and Evan would figure too bad about him and handicapped people? I don't get the message here and I am not sure I like it. Dianne Elliot's wonderful material here seems to be fresh and exciting but unfortunately, TC didn't credit which storylines were his and which were Dianne's. On the whole, I would say her's were the more entertaining ones. Not that his were all that bad either. The plotlines here are good; I just don't like the implications of Hawk and Evan's prejudice against handicapped people. That it struck a nerve may be good reason to say it is one of the more thought provoking story ideas. 210-A YEAR IN THE LIFE (Three Hour Special) Jeremy comes back from an archelogical dig with his professor's video camera. Damian sees the oppurtunity and suggests that they use it to document a video history of the TP. Jeremy likes the idea and they start the project in the schoolroom, where they cause some commotion, much to Lorraine's chagrin. As Mike begins full recovery on the satellite, he is visited by family and friends who try to catch him up on events of the past three years. Mike's therapy is slow but making progress but he feels like an outsider because he doesn't know very many of the currently active Tp. Trent and Sabrina put the finishing touches on their wedding plans, less than a week away from the big event. Both are experiencing a few jitters, but are sure they want to go through with it. Tina takes the opportunity to invite Stephen to the cabin for the weekend, since Trent and Bri will be on their honeymoon, and there hopefully won't be any trouble. Stephen accepts and insists that they invite everyone down for a barbeque. Tina is chagrined but cannot talk him out of it. Meanwhile, Joaquim tells Toby he wants to tell the someone he loves about his special powers. When Toby asks what her name is, he's surprised to find that the "girlfriend's" name is Craig. Toby is mifffed (but only a little) at his longtime friend for not admitting to being gay before this but as "Craig is 23 and I'm still a minor at seventeen," says Joaquim, "It's better to keep it as secret as possible." Especially since if the public found out, he would never be able to continue playing professional tennis. Joaquim doesn't want it a secret from the TP, however. Toby tries to tell him to wait awhile, but is unsuccessful. At the meeting that evening, Joaquim comes formally out of the closet and although most are startled, they assure him that his sexual preference will have no effect on them. Mike and Marcus, however, share an unusally violent but private reaction to the news. On Earth, Eric Baker (Shannon--Shane Sinutko of the 1970s movie THE SHAGGY DOG sequel and also in one episode of STARMAN as a motorcyle racer), the grandson of newly elected President Shrube, is driving home from a friend's birthday party when he suddenly begins experiencing wild visions. He pulls his sleek red Trans-Am to the side of a Washington back street but before he can get out of the car, he faints, falling over on the front seat. Having heard the cries of someone breaking out, Damian and Max suddenly appear next to the car. When Eric wakes,he is told what happened to him. From his grandfather's work, he is aware of the Tp but didn't really believe in them---until now. When the handsome seventeen year old reveals his identity t them, they are very surprised. The next day, Eric is indoctrinated on TP procedure and begins to understand his powers, as he meets nearly everyone, who are curious about meeting the grandsom of the most powerful man in the US. When he meets Trent, it is a suprise to him, because Eric is a big fan of his. As Lorraine and a reluctant Kelly help the twins prepare their wedding present for Trent and Bri, they try to talk Kelly into singing professionally. Kelly laughs. He's quite content as he is. The next morning, after an allnight bachelor party, everyone is up early for the wedding at Trent's large Malibu estate. Mrs. Sands has invited over 800 guests, mostly in the showbiz community. Because of the celebrity status of the bride and groom, and the number of guests, there are reporters everywhere. Gloria Hilland from CNN SHOWBIZ TODAY, Mary Hart and John Tesh from ENTERTAINMENT TONIGHT, Regis Philbin and Kathie Lee Gifford from LIVE! And a host of local reporters. In fact, Regis and Kathie Lee are part of the wedding party. Regis is invited to be a groomsman because of the support he's given Trent's career over the last few years, and Kathie Lee is a matron of honor because she's an old family friend from when she and Bri's older sister went to college together. Trent worries with the guys (when Regis is out of the room) that Matthew Galloway might try something but Jake and Josh have considered this, and have made sure neither Galloway nor Daniel can get in. They wouldn't dare try with so many people around, not to mention the cameras. The wedding goes off without a hitch and at the reception, Jake and Josh present the newlyweds with a song written about them for the occasion and performed by Lorraine and Kelly, a song which brings tears to their happy eyes as they rise and gather friends for a special thank you. The guests mingle and congradulate the bride and groom as Charles Shire plays the piano in the background. Heather, mingling, bumps into David Letterman and Paul Shaffer, who kid her about her appearance on his show. Suddenly, Mike gives a yell her way. She follows his call and finds he and John talking to a tall, curly haired man and his companion, a slim shorter lady with long blond hair. She doesn't recognize the face, but she does the empathic imprint and she quickly wraps her arms about the Doctor, who introduces her to his companion, Romana (the second Romana). Inside the house, Trent and Sabrina are preparing for their getaway, and Sabrina (Bri) brings up the subject of her mother. Trent promises her that they will tell her his secret as soon as they get back. The next say, when all has quieted down on the satellite, Mike is approached by Midor. Midor had been staying in the background since Mike's homecoming. Mike is surprisingly sympathetic towards the young man who for all intents and purposes was his double for nearly four years. Mike tells Midor that he has earned his place among the TP but Midor isn't so sure. Still, the marks are there, and Mike senses that he is going to have a long and lasting relationship with the young Sharonnite. Josh, leader in Trent's absence, receives a message from a couple of old friends. They are coming home for a visit. MY NOTES: Okay can I say, Yawn. This is just dull and at 3 hours, it would have been quite a borefest. Nothing happens but the wedding and lots of talk and lots of celebrities, none of whom I like, make appearances. Move on to the next story. 211-LOCKSMITHING IS THE FAMILY TRADE Trent and Sabrina return from their honeymoon to find that Stephen has organized a barbeue at the cabin, and that Heather, John, and Tina are doing everything they can to keep people from accepting the invitation. The newlyweds, knowing what is going on, decline the invitation when it is offered. Mike awakes one night screaming from a dream. He has dreamt of a preteenager who is being arrested by police in London. The dream is so violent, he even gets a stigmata from it. On Earth, Quincy Wrenwood (Christian Bale) and a friend have been arrested for breaking and entering and his proud cockney mother, Carly (Tracy Ulman) decides that his father--his REAL father--should have to pay the bail, since she cannot afford it. At their Pennsylvania retreat, Ring of Life member Jeb sees a statue about to fall on Father Jason's head, and to everyone's surprise, the falling statue stops inches from the young leader's head and floats back to the pedestal. Danny Frye (Anton Fig), seeing Jeb (aka Brother Jason) suddenly stiffen and focus his attention on the statue pulls the teenager aside and tells him he is a miracle worker. Jeb is distressed. Now his powrs are out in the open, and Frye is going to force him to use them. Frye's murderous devotion to Father Jason is dangerous, and Jeb wisely decides he has no choice but to become the revered Pathfinder that Father Jason's sermons often mentions. Eric returns to the White House to see his grandfather, and spies a document on his grandfather's desk dealing with Operation: Safe Heaven, the code name given to th destruction of the Tomorrow People. Eric had gone to apologize for disappearing the Saturday before last, but found himself arguing against his beloved grandfather over the TP. President Shrube was succinct and to the point: it wasn't Eric's concern. Angry and more than just a little bit frightened, Eric, mainly to shake his favorite fishing partner up, said too much, touched his jaunting band and jaunted out in full view of the President. On the satellite, Trent comforts him, telling him that maybe no he won't be so anxious to destroy the TP. Carly calls Mike, asking to see him. He hasn't seen her in over ten years and wonders why but when he sees her son, he instantly recognizes that their brief teenage affair had resulted in a child, a son he wants to get to know but Carly wants him to have nothing to with. Mike is stung by her bitter words and Quince's venomous tongue but vows to win them both over. Jake and Brenda Ellis (Justine Bateman of FAMILY TIES) have another date and Brenda writes her mother and stepfather about the love she has found. The next day, she wakes violently ill, and asks her roomate to come iwth her to the Student Clinic. She is two weeks late and when Susie asks why, Brenda admits to her she thinks she may be pregnant. On the satellite, down in the gym, Daen and Davy are arguing as Daen workss out. Davy wants to go with Amanda, Cesee, Max, and Lorraine to Disneyland. Daen refuses to hear his brother's pleas. Nasty words are exchanged, then TIM interrupts, telling them that their father has left an urgent message: they are to go to the hospital immediately. Their cancer stricken mother has taken a turn for the worse and is not expected to live only about a couple of more days. Both boys turn ashen, and hasten to dress. Asking TIM if there has been any more word, he tells them no, then jaunts them to the hospital. Trent, with Evan's help, has arranged a satellite tour for Senator Gabrial Wolfe (Rick Lenz). Evan brings him aboard, and the senator is grateful for the oppurtunity. He is surprised to see Eric Baker as part of the greeting party. Eric explains that he is the newest breakout. The kind senator promises not to use his knowledge as a weapon against the President. After two hours, Senator Wolfe is very impressed. He has always believed in the peaceful intentions of the Tomorrow People. Then Trent surprises him: Douglas and Susan are home for a visit and Susan rejoices in the reunion with her eldest brother. Douglas pulls Stephen aside and asks him to join he and Susan on their new home planet. Stephen promises to think it over. MY NOTES: What is this with Brother Jason and Father Jason? Is this a three way "god" that the cult leaders made up? Cultist Sister Marie Light is played by Elisabeth Shue. Father Jason Tolmason is palyed by Adam Curry. 212-BEAT OF A DANCER At the latest recruitment drive of the Ring of Life, Jeb takes notice of a young vietnamese girl Kim Ngyuen (Ming Na Wen from AS THE WORLD TURNS) who is among the new converts. He is surprised that he can actually pick up some of her thoughts. He plans to keep an eye on her. If he has a chance to. In London, Mike meets again with Carly, trying to convince her that he means well. Carly is adamant but Quince is intrigued with Mike and asks to be allowed to spend a little time with this man who is his real father. Mike and Carly are both taken by surprise by his request. New York is the backdrop for a meeting between Hartford and Maxil Valasques (Miquel Fernandez), a powerfully rich real estate developer who is also one of the major backers of world terrorism. Hartford has a plan and Velasques is intrigued with the idea the minister has. He agrees to fund it and put it into operation. Stephen, Tina, Heather, John, Amanda, and Hawk arrive at the cabin for a weekend but all of the others find a convienent excuse for leaving Stephen and Tina alone for a while. Stephen begins to slip into one of his moods and Tina tries to get him to talk about it. Stephen clams up, then realizes with a start that he is indeed in love with Tina, just as Jani said on her deathbed. Stephen forces himself to confront the facts and says a private goodbye, forcing the old link with Jani to dissolve. Tina is happy Stephen finally realized he was torturing himself. Once he has purged himself, the two of them finally connect with each other. John and Amanda return from collecting pine cones, and a shirtless Stephen meets sthem at the door, thanking John for his meddling with a smile unseen on the young man in quite a while. John and Amanda head off into the clearing to head home, stopping along the way to collect Hawk, whom they have to savse from a pretty kitty with a white stripe down its back. Jake and Brenda meet for a date, and Brenda drops a bombshell: she is definitely pregnant. Jake is stunned, knowing he now has to tell her the truth about himself. While strolling through Hyde Park, Quince and Mike, arguing, are suddenly brought together when Quince suddenly starts to break out. Mike risks everything by bringing him to the satellite and Quince suddenly finds himself involved in a strange and unexpected world. When Mike asks Quince to try and understand about himself, Quince once again is unsure but tries to clear his mind where this stranger, his real father, is concerned. In Lynchberg, as the end nears, Beverly Carter tells her beloved sons how proud she is, and how she cannot leave them until she knows they will carry on without her. A quiet Davy, and a tearful Daen both promise her that they will try and do their best to carry on and will keep a watchful eye out for each other. She smiles, then her eyes close, for the last time, as the Carter brothers realize they have lost the woman who brought them into the world. MY NOTES: Dianne's Quince storyline and character of Kim get going and both are fantastic and riveting. 213-CULT PERSONALITIES Richie is nervous about making a record but having Trent as producer makes him feel at ease and as the muic flows over him, it begins to come as naturaly as a live performance, as he sings the lyrics fro his latest tune, he begins to feel and understand that this is what he's wanted all his life. Daen and Davy help prepare for their mother's funearl and the two brothers are having different reactions to her death, Davy is very quiet and reserved, while Daen cannot think about her without tears starting to fall. Jeb is forced into his new role as the Pathfinder. He is kept under guard in a spacious tent, to help guide straying members of the cult. Jeb feels like he is in prison, which is how a murderer like he should be, he thinks. Hartford's plan of action begins to unfold earlier than expected when Velasques comes upon one of his targets completely by accident while hunting in the forests in upstate New York. Evan has come here for meditation and is tuned out as Hartford approaches him. Evan becomes the first victim as Velasques easily overpowers him. In Denver, Joaquim and Craig Mallick meet for their first date in some time and Joaquim reveals his secret to Craig. The wheels in Craig's head start to turn the minute he finds out while on the outside, he shows nothing but love toward the tennis player. Jake and Josh discuss Jake's dilemma, and Josh tells his twin that Brenda has the right to know that she is carrying the unborn child of a Tomorrow Person. Later that evening, when they meet, Jake sits Brenda down and tells her everything. Brenda is stunned and balks at the idea that she's been dating a freak. Jake is hurt by her words and Brenda tells him that not only does she not approve, her stepfather certainly would never approve. Jake is floored when he is told that her stepfather is General Robert Crampton, the man behind the attack on their TP satellite. She asks Jake to leave, telling him she has some thinking to do. He returns to the satellite with the news, leaving everyone stunned. In Malibu, Jeremy and Damian are at Trent and Sabrina's to tape part of their documentary as Robin Leach arrives to interview the newlywed stars for his show, LIFESTYLES OF THE RICH AND FAMOUS. One of the camera men thinks he needs a long rest when he breaks a favorite figurine of Sabrina's by accident and finds it perfectly intact a few moments later, courtesy of Damian. When Leech finds out that Trent and Sabrina are aquainted with the Shire family, he begins foaming at the mouth, asking them to put in a good word with Charles. It seems he's been after a tour of Shirewood for a number of years. The four TP chuckle at the thought or Lord Charle Shire on TV but Damian thnks it might teach the pushy talk show host a lesson, and decides to take action on his own later. In Lynchberg, Daen and Davy attend their mother's funeral, which to their surprise, Rev. Hartford attends. Following the service, Daen tells Davy and their father that he wants to say a private goodbye to his mother, and tells them he'll jaunt home later. He is approached by Hartford, who offers his condolences to the young man. Daen is wary, and thinks Hartford doesn't know he's actually talking to a Tomorrow Person, one of the unnamed targets of his many sermons. As Hartford puts his arm around Daen in a gesture of support, he plunges a needle hidden in his ring into Daen's shoulder. A stunned Daen tries to call for help but the suddenness of the attack and the powerful drug overpowers him and he falls unconscious into the TV preacher's arms. Hartford gently picks him up, climbs into the back seat of the limosine with him, and tells the driver to go. Daen has become victim number two of Harford's unfolding plans. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- From: CMento6653@aol.com Subject: TPFICT: tctp 214 to 217 Date: 22 Apr 2000 01:04:24 EDT 214-INTERIOR EMOTIONS Jake gets a message that Brenda wants to see him. He doesn't waste time, hoping she's come around but when he gets to her dorm, she floors him by announcing she plans to get an abortion. Jake pleads with her to wait, to get to know and understand the world of the Tomorrow People, to give him the chance to show her everything but she is not moved by his words. He begs for a few days, and she reluctantly agrees. He returns up to the satellite and reveals her plans to his brother Josh and Chip. They both are adamant, Brenda must not be allowed to go through with an abortion. Chip tells the shaken pop star that it would affect him as well, though he isn't exactly sure how. Sister Kim has been straying from her studies in the Ring of Life, according to Brother danny. She is brought to see Father Jason, with Sister Marie at her side, who pleads her case. Kim has been sick she tells her lover. Jason refuses to allow Danny to "purge" her, but rather sentences her to spend time with the Pathfinder. Sister Marie fears that Kim cannot endure the rigid meditation but agrees anyway. At a concert in Vienna, Charles becomes the third victim of Velasques, taken by surprise by a synaptril dart. Jeremy and long time friend and slightly overweight Dori MacDonald (Mindy Cohn of FACTS OF LIFE) are taking a walk and he isn't paying attention when he steps in front of an oncoming car. Dori tries to rescue him but he has no chioce but to rescue her, inadvertently revealing hs special powers in the process. His best friend is miffed but promises to forgive him if he'll tell her everything. Jeremy groans but not unhappily. When Kim goes to meet the Pathfinder, Jeb is intrigued by her. He senses something is about to happen, and tries to make conversation with her. She, at first, talks to him, but then steps back when he makes a gesture to make contact with her. He tries to explain what is happening to her, but she isn't having any of it, until she suddenly screams and collapses. Brother Danny and a couple of guards come running, and Jeb, panicing at the thought of being "purged" by Danny, does something he never thought he would ever again do, as he mind calls for Trent, Toby, and TIM. The harsh atmosphere of the tent is replace by the coolness of the jaunting pad as Jeb and Kim are whisked to the satellite. After the healing team take Kim to help her through her breakout, Trent and Toby corner Jeb, trying to reason with him, but Jeb just yells he wants to be alone, and tries to jaunt away but TIM redirects him to one of the observation decks. Trent tells TIM to make sure Jeb cannot leave the satellite, until he's had a chance to try and make his friend realize everything's okay. Trent tries but gets nowhere, and sends Jeb down to see a friend in the lower observatory. When Jeb arrives, he thinks he's alone until a voice startles him. He turns to see Heather standing there. As she and Jeb talk, she is able to convince him that if she doesn't blame him, no one else, save John, does either. Several months of pain for the teenager comes to a close, and Heather holds him as he cries the pain and thankfulness out. She and Jeb then return, and Jeb agrees to say. He still feels the guilt, but knowing Heather forgives him has finally started him on the road to recovery. During a history trip to the National Archives, Damian and Eric are surprised by one of Eric's secret service men, who is really an agent for Velasques. A chase ensues and even though he succeeds in capturing the two teenagers, this time there are witnesses and the President, to his dismay calls the TP satellite to find out, "What in hell is going on??!!" He is assured that actions are being taken to try and find not just his grandson but four others who have suddenly disappeared. Trent and Sabrina's segment of LIFESTYLES airs and though concerned about their missing friends, most of the members get a kick out of it, especaiily from Leach's foaming at the mouth over a lost painting that Trent and Sabrina didn't know was lost. Hartford, also watching, smiles an evil smile. He has plans no one knows about yet. Matthew Galloway and Daniel are also watching and Daniel notes with amusement how irritated Galloway gets when one of the celebrities that are also TP get so much air time. MY NOTES: A very good episode without much baloney, for once! 215-ELECTIVE MURDER Jeb visits his mother for the first time since his self imposed exile and his greedy stepfather begins to see the teenager as a threat to his plans to get control of Anita's money. He begins to make plans to make Jeb disappear permanently. Somewhere in the Far East, five very confused young men begin to wake up. Charles and Evan are the first to wake, and discover that none of their powers except local telepathy work. Damian and Eric are next to wake and the four of them dicuss how to handle Daen. He's going to be an emotional wreck, Eric declares. Charles tells them they have to help him through his recent loss and sense of grief before they can begin to figure out what they have been kidnapped for. It is Eric who stands with Daen when he wakes up, trying to understand what has happened.Daen is the first to tell them that Hartford was his kidnapper and that he was taken from his mother's funeral. Back on the satellite, Davy is frantic, worried about his brother but also upset that his brother would take off and leave he and his fatehr at a time like this. Meanwhile, Kelly's research on the accident that left him without the use of his legs proves that Kelly's accident did indeed connect indirectly with the TP battle with the entity Detron a few years back. Kelly becomes interested in what Detron was and the psychological effects the battle had on the remaining TP. Jake makes a last plea for Brenda to wait before she goes through with her plans and she agrees, secretly having decided to do it that evening. While on stage at a club that evening, near the end of the first set, Jake, singing lead vocals and finishing up the last song of the set, suddenly stiffens and collapses on stage, to the horror of the audience, which includes Trent and Sabrina. Josh leaps over his drums, makes an excuse and has the curtain lowered. Kneeling to help his twin brother, Josh tells them that the instant he touches him what has happened. As Trent and Sabrina rush backstage, Josh tells them that now they know what happens when the Tomorrow Person father of an unborn child feels that child die in an abortion. All four jaunt back to the satellite. Jake is barely conscious and in a lot of pain, pain he's locked his mind in, both protecting and weakening his brother at the same time. As Chip, Josh and last minute replacement healer Jeremy do what they can, Trent and Toby decide Brenda should see what effect her decision has had on the handsome young man. Trent goes to her dorm, and gives her a choice: come willingly or be kidnapped. Trembling at his obvious pain and anger, she agrees to go. When she sees Jake in his condition, she instantly regrets her decision. She is surprised that Josh will even talk to her, and though he is weak and also in some pain, he explains exactly why this has happened. In California, Matthew Galloway and Daniel attend the party of a up and coming young actor in Bverly Hills who happens to live in Julia's old neighborhood. While mingling, Daniel discovers that one of the party goers is on the verge of breaking out. Justin Richards (Andrew White) is here with a friend he made on his travels and is keeping away from all the drugs being done, he's broken the habit. He heads upstairs to go to the bathroom, and runs into the young blond man he's spoken with for a moment downstairs. Suddenly a rag is clamped over his nose and mouth from behind and he falls unscious into Daniel's waiting arms. They take him from the party, telling the very drunk host that they are taking him out for some fresh air. The two of them load Justy's limp form into Daniel's van and speed for home a couple of blocks away. A few hours later, when Justy wakes, he knows he's been kidnapped but doesn't understand why, though he knows the blond had something to do with it. Knowing he's being watched, he jokes around, but doesn't get any response, so he settles down to watch TV in his cell, wondering why he's been kidnapped, and more than a little scared, though determined not to show it. In the Far East, the captured five are visited by Velasques, and are given a choice: don special belts or die. After they put the belts on, they are told that if they use their powers, except local telepathy, without permission while in "training" the belts will explode, killing them, and everything within several feet. When Evan shows some bravado, he is taken out by a couple of Velasques' goons. A couple of hours later, a badly beaten Evan is tossed back into their cell. Velaques still hasn't told them what purpose they have been kidnapped for, and he just tells Charles to wait, that they will know soon enough. MY NOTES: Justy is one of the worst TP ever. I don't like the actor TC cast nor the fact that we have yet another Hollywood star. Enough of these already! Add to the fact that he gets some odd power later on--a power to shrink---and I think that speaks for itself. I also understand with this many TP, the need for many villains but the constant kidnappings and captures and escapes make for real boring reading and I am sure if a series, would have made for constant boredom and channel changing. TC hits a peak with this season and possibly with some of the next season (9th) with some really good ideas--the abortion was one great idea and my TP story HAUNTED INSIDE, which I hope to post soon, completes the story. Still, we have too many TP, too many bad guys, and too much going on to really get into any one plotline beyond the abortion. Just like a soap, when the characters I don't like are around or a story I think is too slow moving or going at a snail's pace, I just tune out or try to "fast forward" to the story and characters I like. Mike and Quince return after the next episode, thank goodness. 216-SPACED OUT Jake slowly recovers in the medicenter, with his brother and Chip casting a watchful eye over him. Brenda wants to see him and refuses to leave if not allowed to. Entering the alcove, she is surprised by Jake's feelings towards her. He is in pain and trying to keep the torrent of emotions filling him under control, but as he weakly turns to face her, the love for her shows in his eyes. He tells her that he forgives her, but cannot ever love her again. What she did cut a hole inside him that cannot ever be healed. Brenda, now sure she made a terrible mistake, kisses him gently on the cheek, tears in her eyes, and tells Trent she's ready to leave. Peter Wilson and TIM pick up a psi reading somewhere in Beverly Hills and Peter decides to hone his growing control of psychometry by trying to find out what is causing the reading. Asking Davy to go with him, to help him get his mind off of his missing brother, the two head earthside. Meanwhile, Trent calls Interpol agent Chris Harding and asks for his assistance in the case. He is growing more and more worried and Chris instantly agrees to help. He will conduct a search of the files and see what he can come up with. Back in the middle east (I thought it was the Far East, hey, TC come on!) the five captives discuss what is going on and Evan reveals the villain's real plan, which he overheard during his beating. They plan to force the five of them to assassinate The Prime Minister of Britain and the President of the US. Eric is visibly shaken when his grandfather is mentioned. Jeb's stepfather Randall Smythe (Jeff Conaway of TAXI) contacts some old partners in crime about helping him get rid of a little problem named Jeb McAllister. Randall's plans are now in motion. In Beverly Hills, Peter and Davy get as far as a posh neighborhood in their attempt to track down the errant signal. Peter suggests they split up. Peter follows the signal and without realizing it, ends up at Julia's old mansion. Daniel sees him coming and before he knows it, Peter is overpowered by guards, and thrown into a cell with Justy. Peter tries to explain to the skeptical teenagers what is going to happen, but Justy doesn't believe him, until later that night, when the voices begin. Peter spends hours nursing Justy through a very painful breakout Meanwhile, Davy, who returned to the satellite when Peter didn't show up at the meeting place, is working with TIM trying to find his friend. After nearly ten hours of working to ease Justy's pain, his breakout finally completes itself and Peter, shushing the stunned young man, bounces his own telepathy off of Justy's mind and manages to contact Tim. Matthew Galloway to believe it until suddenly both boys vanish from their cell. Galloway has been bested again. Justy's sudden introduction into Tomorrow Personhood has him confused, but when he meets Trent, one of his favorite recording stars, he knows he's going to like being a TP. As Chip takes him down to Medicenter for a physical, the two of them bump into Hawk, and Justy is amazed when he's told he's just met his first alien. Back in the Middle East, Eric and Evan begin to formulate a plan to stop Velasques from taking over the Economic Conference, where the assassinations are to take place. Suddenly, the guards come and force Daen to go with them. When they return a couple of hours later, they return a broken and beaten Daen to the others. When Evan asks Velasques why, he replies Daen needed to be shown that he could die just as easily as his mother did. The others are outraged and Eric determines that no one will killed as the plan in his head gets clearer and clearer. 217-BURNING QUESTIONS After a call from his old friend Jeff, Chip without explanations, suddenly drops out of sight, dropping his schooling, and heads for Aerie to work things out. Heather knows the pain he's going through, for she too has lost close friends. Mike and Quince return from a holiday together, getting to know each other. Quince doesn't trust everyone yet and it shows, as he send a cruel jab Amanda's way when she's spending time with Mike. Joaquim, Jeb, and Marcus play a cut throat game of Photon in the newly finished arena on the satellite, and Marcus goes out of his way to make certain Joaquim is knocked out of the game first, totally ignoring Jeb. Marcus, upon winning the game, much to expert Jeb's surprise, tells Jeb, in a earshot of Joaquim, that "fairies are made to play tennis, not Photon." Joaquim is stung but thinks Marcus is just playing around, and tells him that he heard that remark and that maybe Marcus should stick to the Polo field. Without realizing it, Joaquim has made an enemy in Marcus. As Chip works out his feelings at Aerie, John and Heather work with him, trying to help him through his confused feelings. Jeff calls Heather, and tells her he is ready to return to the satellite. He knows his death is only a few days away. On the satellite, Trent, Peter, and Chris discuss what Chris found out from the secret serviceman involved in Damian's and Eric's kidnapping. Peter, who was watching from behind a one way glass, thinks he may be able to track the five missing Tp down if he were to get one of the man's possessions (this is another rip off TC stole; Rico, one of my characters uses this power many times, notably to find info from a murder victim's car--the car was the witness to the murder; these outlines were sent to TC before this episode came out). Chris promises to keep working on it but the secret servive is blocking his attempts at getting his hands on anything else. Mike is walking down a corridor with Max and Midor, talking about his newfound son and all the good his vacation accomplished when he spies Quince talking with Joaquimi at the end of the corridor. Calling for his son to join them, Mike tells the others that th elast thing he wants now is for his son to be "contaminated by a flaming queen". Midor doesn't understand the reference but Max does and is upset by Mike's attitude. In their bunker, Eric feels comfortable enough to finally discuss his plan wiht the others. Charles agrees that it might work but they have to be careful to not let any of the guards overhear all the details they have to learn in order to carry out the plan. Jeb receives a call from Randall in the middle of the night. Randall tells Jeb he has information that his father may not have died in Vietnam as thought. He asks Jeb to meet him under the ferris wheel at Magic Mountain. There are people who may not want this information to get out. Jeb agrees, and hurries to meet Randall. Once there, waiting where he was told, Jeb hears a small explosion and looks up to see a car from near the top of the ferris wheel plummetting towards him. With no time to jaunt, he uses all of his rusty telekinesis to throw the car aside. Sitting down to catch his breath, Randall shows himself and suddenly pulls a gun, surprising Jeb. Forced to surrdner himself, he tires to reach the others but something is blocking his telepathy and he can't jaunt because others are watching, according to Randall, who handcuffs and gags the teenager and forces him into the trunk of his car. Trying to reach the satellite again, Jeb manages to contact TIM and Toby, who are curious to how the sudden meeting went. At first, Jeb wants to stay to find out what's going on, but when the car stops suddenly, and he hears Randall talking to someone, he decides to leave, and TIM returns him to the satellite just as Randall is opening the trunk. Toby quickly frees his friend, and the two of them head for Jeb's mother, who at first refuses to believe them, until Jeb finally convinces her with financial records TIM and Toby came up with. When Randall returns home, he finds Jeb, Toby, Jeb's mother Anita Graves Atherton Smythe (Anita Morris), and the Belair Police waiting for him. Knowing he's been found out, he flees, but Jeb catches him before he can get out of the expansive yard. As the police haul Randall off to jail, he vows revenge on Jeb. Jeb just smiles. After all, what can Randall do to someone who just someone who just disappears like a ghost? Toby and Jeb laugh and return to the satellite. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- From: CMento6653@aol.com Subject: TPFICT: SUMMONS 1/3 Date: 22 Apr 2000 11:04:22 EDT THE TOMORROW PEOPLE Orginal Series SUMMONS part one of three by Charles Mento 1/3 parts takes place between ACHILLES' HEEL and THE LIVING SKINS (1978 or 1979) THE TOMORROW PEOPLE by Charles Mento They had all gone now. When TIMUS returned with Glip to the Trig, Andrew begged John and Liz to allow him to go. Hsui Tai sat on the couch of the New Lab and was lost in thought. John and Liz decided to accompany Andrew to the Trig, anxious to introduce him to their previous friends: Carol, Kenny, Stephen, Tyso, and Carol's husband and baby son. All three had begged her to go with them but Hsui Tai declined, remaining behind. She wasn't sure why she stayed but it was some mood she was unaccustomed to. Liz, one of the most sensitive Tomorrow People, had noticed her mood. Still, they had all gone. While they were gone, Hsui Tai set TIM onto a very important research project. Hsui Tai thought once she became a TP, she would see the beauty of the world and the Universe. Yet, she was stuck in the Lab most of the time as before in the Temple of Shansu, where she was always indoors, away from nature, away from people, and away from herself. She didn't notice or hear as Mike jaunted in, back from Sistus Five where he visited with Chris Harding and Meshgin, a friend that Mike met during the Valkeryie-Odin encounter. Mike said, "Hello," quickly, then caused his A-E suit to vanish. In its place, he telepathically put on bell bottom slacks, a loose fitting, short sleeved leather vest, and boots. "Hi, I said, Hsui Tai. Hsui Tai?" Mike was worried about Her. She hadn't been herself after the others left. She was generally a positive, cheerful girl. Mike felt a deep affection for her and she was the only person to make him totally forget his dear, lost Pavlov. Almost. It hurt Mike to see Hsui Tai hurting and depressed--and this state reminded him of Pavlov, how he felt after she died. Whatever the problem, Mike felt that he and
