  1. Why would half the intestinal bacteria of those that remain disappear when 100% of the intestinal bacteria of those that were snapped went with them?

    Still in bandeau bra and panties, Dani stood outside Jason's door. She pushed the button to announce her presence and was surprised that the door opened instead. She went inside. The apartment was mostly dark. City lights filtered in through the windows, but no lights were on inside. There was a light coming through the not-quite-closed door to Jason's bedroom. Venturing closer, Dani saw Ash wearing Jason's Federation hockey jersey. She was curled up beside him. Jason had an arm around her and a hand on her knee where Ash had laid it on top of him. “I really wish I hadn't left mine in the loft,” Ash said. “I can see about getting you another one,” Jason said quietly. Dani pushed the door farther open. “I”m sorry to intrude.” “You aren't,” Ash said. “Good,” Dani said. She climbed on the bed opposite Ash. “Why didn't you tell me what you were planning?” She lay down on her belly, feet up in the air, ankles crossed. “Primarily, because it didn't concern you. Secondly, because I wasn't sure it would work.” Dani waved her hand in front of his face. Jason deftly caught her wrist. “I thought you were blind.” “That doesn't mean I can't feel the air moving from your hand.” “Oh. Are you going to let me pay you back for this?” Jason's arm went around her, and she pulled herself up so that he head was on his shoulder, mirroring Ash. “There's nothing for you to pay me back for.” “You could have warned me. I would have worn something a lot less flammable. At the very least you owe me a new dress.” “And you just know how much I hate taking you out to try on new dresses,” he teased. “I am such a clothes horse.” Dani put her hand on Ash's leg and moved her fingers up over Ash's calf. “Dani, I'm not saying I'm not interested. And I'm not saying I am interested. But I will not have you in a position where I could hurt you.” “It's so hard.” She smiled at Ash. “It's okay. I much prefer my playmates to be interactive.” “As long as you understand.”

    The Corvette bucked and blood splashed the windscreen. “I'm hit!” “How bad?” Jason spared a glance out of the corner of his eye. “I don't know.” “Drain the battery!” “But the car...” Leah said weakly. “Is a write-off!” He pulled the cover off a power outlet, grabbed Leah's hand and held it to the outlet. The car slowed with the loss of power. “Shield up as soon as you can!” Leah nodded. Electricity snapped and popped around her, getting stronger the longer she pulled power from the car's battery. The helicopter swung around for another pass. “Can you fly?” “I think so,” Leah answered. Bullets ripped into the highway ahead of them. Jason turned into the guard rail. A crimson lance blasted through the rail from the driver's side of the car. There was little resistance from the rail when the car's momentum carried it through. The Corvette plunged to the surf below. Jason and Leah both changed. Pulsar and Sparx flew away from the falling car.

    “My dad was big on plans. Execution sometimes had issues. He actually built a transporter. Perfectly safe for humans. The only problem was dad couldn't get the range down. It was great for getting up to the research satellite and back. Or Mars if we had a unit there. I'm not sure what the maximum range would have been. “But imagine if we can get the range down to manageable numbers. You're in the tower and you want to spend time with Kate, you step into the unit, dial up the farm, and there you are.” “Jason, Warren has made me sit through enough episodes of Star Trek and the various Stargate shows that even I know that's a bad idea.”

    The ax whistled through the air. The wood splintered and the ax was embedded in the stump. Jason tossed the pieces onto the pile and retrieved another log. Marlene watched as he levered the ax from the stump and set the log in place. “Going to do the whole thing?” Marlene asked. Shrugging, Jason said, “Might as well. It was already dead.” He glanced up at her and Marlene felt herself shiver as if a cold breeze caressed her. “What's on your mind?” “I was wondering if we could talk. The twins are talking. Warren and Beth are off talking. Seems like the thing to do.” “Where's Ash?” Marlene smiled. “Listening to music.” Jason brought the ax down again. Leaving the ax in the stump, he gathered the splittings for the pile. Marlene sat in the chair. “Are you sure this is what you want to do?” Placing another log on the stump, Jason brought the ax up. The log sundered, he gathered the pieces. “I don't know. All I can say is that it feels right.” “I guess I can't argue that. But why?” Jason saw Kris flash through the air before diving back down towards the hot spring. “Showing Kari what she can do. Or maybe herself.” He turned his glance to Marlene. “Think about it. Where else can she go?” “I could argue that it isn't your problem.” “Our property changed her. It was done in our labs. Regardless of who was using them. We owe her.” Marlene tilted her head to the side. “There's more to it, isn't there?” Jason hung his head for a moment. With a crimson flash Jason brought out a journal. From the color of it Marlene knew it was one of Sandy's. He handed it to her and then went back to splitting wood. Marlene ran her hand over it. The blue color of it and the pattern felt comfortable to her. It perfectly matched her own in every way except the color. Hers were green. Where Marlene's were mostly a collection of diaries, Sandy's held musings, songs, sketches, and the like. A diary, but Sandy had tended to put more into her journals than just daily events. Marlene felt the pang of grief that came when she thought about Sandy. She opened the book and began reading.

    Marlene stopped at the door and turned to Leah. “Walk with me?” Leah stared at Marlene. Walk with me? How many times had she asked Jason that? Leah shook her head to clear it. Marlene frowned. Leah smiled at her. “Sure.” Stepping out on the porch Marlene received a questioning look from Trese. “I'm okay. Unless I sprouted horns or something.” “Not that I've noticed. He's in the barn,” Trese said. Marlene nodded. Leah came out, the screen door settling behind her. “Not the picnic table.” Marlene shook her head. Brad was sitting on it. Moving to the top of the steps, Leah looked down. “Dani said potholes. Those look like...” “Post holes,” Marlene finished. “Down the lane?” The two headed towards the road walking close together. “What do you want to talk about?” “What are we going to do?” Leah looked at Marlene from the corner of her eye. “About?” “Jason. He still loves you.” Looking down, Leah said, “I know.” Marlene turned to look at her. “Little things he's done. A carton of ice cream. Spending the weekend with me when the last thing he wanted was to be near me.” Marlene grabbed Leah's wrist her turned her to face her. “Jason wasn't rejecting you. He was rejecting himself. He blames himself for what happened to you. He wants to be near you. He wants to touch you like he used to. Like when he spent the night in your bed...” Marlene stopped. “I'm sorry. I didn't... I should have realized that there was a bad occurrence attached to that.” Leah nodded and looked down again. “He wants you.” “He wants both of us.” “He chose you. He won't put either of us in that situation.” It was Marlene's turn to nod. “What are you going to do?” Giving her a pained smile, Marlene said, “I need to talk to him. I have something to tell him that I should have told him before.” She cast a glance back at the barn. “Then I get to see where I stand with him.”

  11. Jim Holden: Hey I'm glad that me and Naomi being together isn't an issue for you. Amos Burton: Oh, no. She's a good person and I like her. But she's like a sister to me. Jim Holden: Right. Amos Burton: I mean, don't get me wrong, I'd do her if she'd let me. Jim Holden: I'm glad we had this talk.

  13. I used to think that life was sweet I used to think it was so complete I can't believe You've thrown it away I used to think we had it made I used to feel we would sail away Can you just imagine How I feel today? Well, it seems a long time ago You were the lonely one Now it comes to letting go And you're the only one Do you know what you've done? It's so funny how we don't talk anymore It's so funny why we don't talk anymore But I ain't losing sleep and I ain't counting sheep It's so funny how we don't talk anymore It really doesn't matter to me I guess your leaving was meant to be It's down to you now You wanna be free Well, I hope you know which way to go You're on your own again Don't come running to me When you're the lonely one Remember what you've done It's so funny how we don't talk anymore It's so funny why we don't talk anymore It's so funny how we don't talk anymore
  14. Off on your own It's a lonely ride Seeing the things Only seen through your eyes Pick yourself up Gonna try it again Knowing that this time You're reaching the end The voice inside Made me feel that I can fly And you'll be there by my side Forever We're the restless kind Lay your broken dreams upon the road (And we will ride) We're the restless kind (In the morning light) See the tears and joy fall from your eyes (And we will ride) We're the restless kind Rolling down the road With the wind in your hair And maybe we're searching For something we can share One heart, one soul Hold a mountain of dreams The circle's unbroken And rough around the seams So don't you fear, my friend You know I'll love you till the end And I'll be there by your side Forever We're the restless kind Lay your broken dreams upon the road (And we will ride) We're the restless kind (In the morning light) See the tears, the joy fall from your eyes (And we will ride) We're the restless kind Yes, I know How the world can fall upon you And take you down, down, down And make you feel like you're hollow inside Do you understand I will light the candle And guide your soul (Down the highway) And give you faith in the world, oh We're the restless kind Lay your broken dreams upon the road (And we will ride) We're the restless kind (In the morning light) See the tears and joy fall from your eyes (And we will ride) We're the restless kind Lay your dreams upon the line (Oh woh, oh woh) We're the restless kind (Oh woh, oh woh) See the tears, the joy (Oh woh, oh woh) (Oh woh, oh woh) (Oh woh, oh woh)
