    Leapin’ lizards, Daddy! You’re really jumpin’ bail? Thirty million dollars?

    Those are my orders from Washington, Annie!

    Where are we going?

    Oh, around and about.

    Oliver Warbucks and his little orphan, Annie begin a long journey.

    But, Daddy, they took away your passport!

    Oh, well, I have many passports, Annie! And so do you!

    There is no time for talk, Little Princess. You will ask nothing, please.

    Your servant, Little Princess!

    You will go with this fellow. Warbucks will contact you with instructions.

    And then we’re headed for –

    That is for Warbucks to decide. I am but his dutiful subordinate. Go now!

    Whew! Life with Daddy Warbucks! Never been anything but one mystery after another! Okay, it’s always been fine by us, Sandy. Guess it still is!

    Arf!

    And somewhere off Italy’s Amalfi coast –

    Warbucks still alive! That is not possible!

    How long will he torment me? How long? Warbucks, I promise you, we will meet again, soon! And it will be our last meeting!

    “The Saga of Dr. Dark”(18) 10/21-22/2017

    ON THE SHIP

    After 6 hours the watch tells them they see one of the zodiac powered rafts returning from the island. Once they are on board they are inundated by a fog of incredible intensity. Compass spinning wildly, some of the equipment flashes on and off as if being hit by EM energy. When it clears the island is gone. Was there ever an island they ask? The Sea Wolf team A that made it back has no memories other than leaving the ship and then returning to it. The dark static lifted as they were enveloped in that fog and now? Ship’s electronics are mostly out to “intermittent” the photonics are untouched. One thing they do know is that they aren’t where they should be. The Surveillance Ship’s captain concurs on that. Whatever it was knocked them for a loop. The fix they had was also lost. They too are working to get a bearing on their position.

    ON THE ISLAND

    Dr. Dark was having a good laugh, one of several he has had since freeing himself from that cool tube he was in. It took considerable energy to do what he had done. why he has access to thermal energy from the Earth’s core. With the stators he had created, crude but serviceable for this act did well. Though several turned to slag in the doing.He couldn’t allow them to know his location or remember it. When he transferred him he wiped their entire mainframe—-on both ships. It will be delicious when they find out they are half way across the world and have no memories of his island. Too late for that Sea Wolf Strike Team B. Too much had been done to them for that.

    Stators and Transtators are outgrowths of the old vacuum tubes only they function using the zero point energy of the vacuum of space. They are immune to EMP and later to different r-states that other technology of Earth cannot operate. It is their r = ∞ (n) where the (n) is variable which allows them to function in all r-states higher or lower than our r=1 state in a 3+1 universe.
