Gateway - Act 1

So this is what I when we generally start with
to see how instinct we are as a group. I
want you all to say, table read gateway on the
count of three in a good voice.
Camp Clark one two great.
Table read gateway.
Yeah, I steaks, I steaks yep in hand.
Why is an engine number two school though I just
pushed throttles to full.
It must be a flame.
Out again restart checklist. We're losing outs two just cross
flight level two zero zero now at one niner zero
dropping fast.
I apologize, or this passenger says it's.
A CIA agent or teach. I need the radio.
Get out, whoever you are.
Engine two, not to the radio.
I need to speak the language right now.
If I don't get the engine restarted, we lay trash.
We turn to your seat. That's in order.
The engine is gone. Soon you'll lose hydraulic pressure and
flight control.
We will crash.
But first I need the radio.
Ten thousand feet there's no response to restart procedures.
It's like the engine isn't even there.
Why the tendant prepare their cabins for impact.
Well after caution, we've lotted hydraulic pressure and flight control.
Give me that radio I have critical information about neutralizing
the entity.
Get cause this crack. Often we're polone save ALTA.
Give me the fucking rate, he said, get back to
your seat.
Ah, you shot him?
Why would you give me the radiount I have.
Hello.
This is Lieutenant Colonel Wayne M. McDonnell, retired, and I
have a story to tell you. In nineteen seventy seven,
I got the assignment to investigate and report on the
Gateway Project, a means for man to venture beyond time
and space? Could we spy on Russia from a great distance?
Were they spying on us already? I was a man
tasked with finding answers that were needed and quickly. I
served a tour of duty and US Army intelligence in
the early seventies known as Project four oh four. I
was in Laos covertly assisting US interests in Vietnam. The
report I submitted got me this far more controversial assignment.
I discovered things you might not believe but should. Do
a quick Google search for Analysis and Assessment of Gateway
Process CIA. You'll find an actual document from the CIA
website written by none other than yours. Truly click on
that and have a read. Be advised they might open
a file on you for looking at the report.
I don't know.
I don't work there anymore. In nineteen seventy seven, I
was stationed at Ford George G. Mead Army Intelligence Base
in Maryland near Washington, DC, five thousand acres of military
personnel doing top CI grid intelligence work keeping the free
world safe. At the time, we were transcribing and translating
all of Russia's radio and TV broadcasts, thousands of hours
of tapes analyzed, looking for patterns codes. It was a
standard day in my lab until it was.
Captain Parsons.
When you have today's radio transmissions entered, get started on
the task news feed.
I'll have it done with me, our Lieutenant Colonel McDonald.
General addis a rare pleasure. I didn't realize we had
an inspection today.
No inspection, General, This room is secure and.
Silent, Yes, sir, fully TSSC, I secure my briefcase.
Please? Is this serious?
I think I saw this on Star Trek last week.
Do I impress you as a joking man? No, sir,
Everyone out, but Lieutenant Colonel McDonald.
Sir, you heard the General.
Every listen to this.
Give me that radio. I have a critical information about
laturizing the edge to get cause this crack.
I've been with below dabout.
Was that the plane that went down last month? Yes,
terrorists posing a CIA a lunatic.
No.
In fact, that was a legitimate CIA operation Agent man Orities.
Limited details on the operation are in this file.
You think the Russians or some other hostile force.
You think a hostile force brought that plane down trying
to get to someone.
What I think is in being discussed, Just your orders,
Roger Letzer. The cockpit recording you just heard has been
shared with fewer than ten people. That portion was cut
out of the official NTSB version.
I don't understand.
Sometime back science it Sack Bentof made us aware of
some facts, facts regarding expanded states of consciousness that allowed
traveling by thought. The Russians had been studying it for years.
They had been trying to get to our man bent Off.
And you think they crashed that plane.
Ortiz was a decoy flying under Bentoff's name.
How did they bring it down?
That's what you're going to find out. You're not going
to mention that crash or recording. Ever, the world's reaction
to such information would be catastrophic.
Yes, sir, is is this another MK ultra.
No, you'll create a report, but it won't mention that incident,
or our spying or our missing spy planes.
The pair of SR seventy one's had crashed.
I thought they were mechanical.
Issues, so did we until we got that recording.
Sir, it all seems rather incredible.
Initially, I'm inclined to be skeptical.
You'll be on a transport to Monroe Institute in Virginia
at oh six hundred tomorrow. You're going to get to
the bottom of this. I want facts. That buzz box
on your belt it's a pager general and could reach
me anywhere in the world. My assistant Captain Parsons handles
all messaging.
Stay handy.
Yes, sir, I was given a puzzle without all the pieces.
But on the ninth of June nineteen eighty three, I
issued a final report. Sadly, before I finished that report,
our brilliant scientist Itsak Bentof died on a doomed airliner
in Chicago. Oddly, this time, even the cockpit voice recorder
failed before anything else. No clues. You can google that too.
American Airlines Flight one ninety one. It was a serious setback.
This is the story of that report before and after
it was released by the CIA, the things I learned
and the places I saw. But please read my report.
You tasked me to provide an assessment of the Gateway
experience in terms of its mechanics and ultimate practicality. As
I set out to fulfill that tasking, it soon became
clear that in order to assess the validity and practicality
of the process, I needed to do enough supporting research
and analysis to fully understand how and why the process works. Frankly, sir,
that proved to be an extremely involved and difficult business.
Follow me to the lab, sir, mister Monroe was waiting.
Lieutenant Colonel McDonald, Nice to meet you. I'm Robert Monroe.
Welcome to my lab.
Sit down. Please, thank you, Monroe.
I've read the research.
You think it sounds like a bunch of bullshit, don't.
You, sir? My personal opinions don't enter into this.
I'm here to fully evaluate your process from an objective viewpoint.
Monroe wasn't dumb.
He knew it really did sound.
Like bullshit, but he needed credibility with the military, and
my report provided.
You've been ordered to keep an open mind.
That is an accurate assessment.
Can you start training tomorrow?
Sure, I need somewhere to drop my personal items, but
I'd like to start today.
Perfect.
I'll have Nurse Fields show you to your quarters and
we'll get started.
Initially, based on conversations with a physician who took the
gateway training with me, I had recourse to the biomedical
models developed by Itsak bent Off to obtain information concerning
the physical aspects of the process. The long hours of
training were eased somewhat by the caring hands of Nurse Fields,
but even she turned out to be more complicated than
she first appeared.
Please lay back down, Lieutenant Colonel. I'm going to attach
some electrodes. Relax, get comfortable.
Will I be hypnotized?
Probably not today, but eventually. Yes.
Do I have time for a cigarette?
Nicotine disrupts the process? Are you nervous?
Why?
I'm just listening to some sounds?
Did you read all of the materials you may want to.
Mister Monroe?
Are you ready, Lieutenant Colonel?
Ready as I can be.
Okay, Now you're going to listen to some sounds and speech.
In this sensory deprivation chamber, a series of tones will
help bring you into hemispherical synchronization. Left brain and right
brain broad into sync. We call it hemicyink.
Okay, you will note.
Flashing lights on the ceiling as you reach hemsink both
halfs of your brain finally working as one. If you
need us, we'll be in the control room.
All right.
Relax and observe the flow of energy around you.
You'll be guided through each of these focus levels.
You'll find increasing abilities in.
Each as you rise.
Upping my focus level huh sounds like mumbo jumbo.
Relax and observe.
You'll be aware of each focus level and its meaning
as we progress today. It will aim for Focus twelve,
where you can traverse time and space.
I'll join you there.
Focus twelve the standard protocol.
Suspended for these tests. Lieutenant Colonel McDonald has had years
of military training, a level of discipline we can only
approximate here. We will forego many of the early sessions.
Yes, mister Monroe, continue the preparations.
Nurse Fields, have my hypnotic items ready, please.
I admit to seeing little promise and gateway. At first,
I would put the headphones on and lay back. Following
Monroe's voice in the various tones. Frequently I just fell asleep,
but I was surprised to discover that after a while,
images started swirling out of the darkness.
Row was right.
Eventually I was able to advance in the training with
some effort and gained new abilities. But all attempts to
attain usable intelligence on Russia ultimately failed.
So a few weeks.
Later they got me closer, much closer. They flew me
out to a secret submersible base next to the USSR.
I found myself one thousand feet below the sea of Okotsk.
In seventy one, the CIA had discovered a Soviet deep
sea transmission line. We wanted to listen in, so we
installed the tap. This was Operation Ivy Bells. It was
a joint CIA and NSA project with help from the
US Navy. You can google that too. Ivy Bells, fun
little project. They decided it would be good to physically
transport me to the undersea Soviet military transmission lines.
So there I was, sir, we're here in the cable
tap location. Time to do your thing. I'll connect your
headset to the feed.
Ready.
It worked.
I had followed the training and achieved Focus twelve in Gateway.
This is one of the highest states of consciousness. It
unlocks the ability to remote view at will, unrestrained by
time or distance. But a surprise awaited me there. I
was investigating the secret missile base, invisible to the motionless soldiers,
frozen in time. There, I was trying to read a
computer screen when I realized that one of the other
beings there was different. It was like me, unbound by
time or location, floating.
Hello, priviet.
My Russian had an accent, but this simple hello should
have worked. The entity merely scurried up a wall and
vanished into the ceiling. Hey wait, all my further attempts
to locate the entity that day failed. I returned to
my body on the sub and got another surprise. Pilot, Hey,
did you see that thing out there looking into the porthole?
Sir? Not calling you a liar, but we're one thousand
feet down, nothing but fishies out there.
I can see it right now there, it's looking at me.
Okay, okay, copy that, sir. I'll note it in the log.
Coopard.
They didn't believe me at first, who would, But I
would meet the entity again. I included a couple paragraphs
about this in my final report. A warning more or
less to those who would follow be intellectually prepared to
react to possible encounters with intelligent, non corporal energy forms
when time space boundaries are exceeded. It may also be
possible that individuals encounter thought forms while in an out
of body state, which mingle with physical reality and are
not easily differentiated. Yeah, you heard that right, word for
word from an official CIA report. I knew there was
much more to investigate and explain. Meanwhile, I kept working back.
At the institute.
Next time on Gateway, things heat up when I finally
find that Russian missile base.
But that's not even the big event.
Courtesy of a surprise guest visitor, I find my way
back in time, all the way to Nazi occupied France
in nineteen forty four, but in more danger than I
ever was before.
Hey, before we move on, can we do your mini
sub Captain again?
Kevin? And like?
So, since we have yours, can we do them where
you have fun with it but also projects? As you said,
but I, especially since you say cuckoo berg later, I'd
love for you to cavin it up.
Sure, So where do you want to start from?
Just take it from that initial one, because we got
the more official version that Jack wanted.
But for your we do you know, we'll come in
at Z.
I want to grab the server nearing the cable tapplication,
so the middle of thirteen, oh copy.
Got oh thirteen, guys.
Because we got a more formal version. Now we'll have
here so that when you say cucku ber.
You can like you hit them.
Got him?
Are we reading all the way through?
Uh No, I think let's just do a pick up
with any sub to ready, and then we'll go to fourteen.
Okay, sir, we're nearing the cable tap location. Time to
do your thing. I'll connect your headset to the feed.
Right through to fourteen and then we'll just pick it
up from a pilot.
Do you see that.
Pilot?
Hey, you see that that thing out there looking into
the porthole.
Sir, not calling you a liar, but we're one thousand
feet down nothing but fishies out here.
I see it right now there. It's it's looking at me.
Okay, Okay, copy that, sir. I'll note it in the lock.
Cuckoo bird
Very
