Ragna speaks with Jonathan

Science Fiction?

Jonathan found himself once again aboard the Timespace Ship the Awesome whose home port is Switzerland 7028AD(or at least what Switzerland becomes on the first time line).(We here writing and reading this live on the 2nd timeline which began shortly after 9-11.
note:
The real causes behind 9-11 have never been revealed and aren't likely to be either(at least publicly) so that is a given. So the short story is that the 2nd timeline began around early 2002 or therabouts in order to prevent the extermination of most of mankind which started with a nuclear war that ended the lives eventually of almost everyone on earth except some in Switzerland, England and parts of Africa. However, since the the radiation in the air kept circling the planet from the dust on the ground, one of the safest places for some reason is what is nowadays called Switzerland about 8000 feet in elevation. Though eventually it gets better by about 3000 to 5000 AD and people then live down to about 3000 feet in elevation without becoming crazy mutants from a strange movie.

So as an act of compassion everyone's life was saved on this second timeline in which all you reading this live.

Ragna who is from the 7000's mostly is visiting in his ship many of us call "The Awesome" which is about the size of a good sized motor home but is disc shaped for easier travel through time with a group of people board. I suppose about 50 people or more could be squeezed on board like a battle group but mostly this ship is used for observing time and seeing what actually happened down through time. Because the truth of what actually happens down through time is seldom reported (at least correctly) by anyone.

Jonathan was walking his dogs in the forests with his two dogs when he knew they were being taken aboard "The Awesome". Unlike many people this had become sort of a regular occurance that dated for sure back to 1974 on Mt. Shasta but could have begun in Jonathan's childhood. He didn't really know for sure.

When the dogs and Jonathan were on board they all greeted Ragna. The crew of the ship were all busy with their duties in other rooms and Ragna brought Jonathan and his dogs into the room used like a living room and office combined on the ship. It had 360 degree viewscreen around the room so one could look out in all directions if one wished from the ship. It made one feel like they were outside even though there were no windows as such inside the ship.

Jonathan asked Ragna, "What brings you here, Ragna?" "Oh. I'm just checking on you and your family and making sure you are all okay." Jonathan said, "There must be something more specific than that?" "Well. To be honest many on earth don't really survive well the next few years psychologically. There are just too many severe changes that happen on earth in many directions at once." Jonathan said, "Will there be a war?" "Oh no. Nothing like that. That's not the problem. It's that it is sort of an economic upheaval where the world has to get its bearings again. It reminds me a lot of the first 50 years of the twentieth Century without the World Wars, then multiply the changes by about 10 and you get the idea of what I'm talking about. Governments aren't really the problem now, resources are."

"Many won't be able to get enough resources to survive because of Global Climate Change, economic changes,human and animal and bird and fish health changes etc. So I'm here trying to see how you are faring?"

Jonathan looked at Ragna and then said, "Well. I find it very stressful because almost everyone knows people who are struggling. And even wealthy people who didn't have their resources diversified properly are having problems too. People who are too deep in debt might not survive the next 5 to 10 years without going into Chapter 7 or Chapter 13 bankruptcy. It's very sad Ragna!"

Ragna looked into Jonathan's eyes and said, "So you are surviving this?" Jonathan looked back and said, "As well as can be expected. I was trained by my parents to survive anything and so I am. They trained me well having been through the Great depression as teenagers and young adults themselves. They never stopped talking about how rough it was and so in that way they prepared me and my family with all the ways of surviving economic hard times. If one is prepared for anything they usually survive better than those who aren't prepared. So yes, Ragna, by the Grace of God we're okay!"

Ragna looked at Jonathan and said, "Jonathan, Elohar sends her regards. She's raising our kids who are teenagers now." Jonathan said, "Well. All my kids are teenagers to their late 30s, so I understand."

Ragna said, "I wish I could do more to help you."

Jonathan said, "Yeah. Psychologically, it's been a rough year but we're hanging tough and still okay."

Jonathan found himself once again walking with his dogs in the forest. Ragna was getting sort of eccentric. He couldn't imagine Ragna raising teenagers. Ragna was a time General and too scientifically efficient to be comfortable raising kids. Raising kids and feeling centered about it was more for someone like Elohar who was a very intuitive and caring person. Ragna, was more the ultimately efficient type of person. You couldn't ask for someone better than Ragna if you were in any kind of jam or emergency. But Ragna was a little more aloof like an Einstein, intellectually at least.
