Chapter 7
One day, on returning to his room, Ralph got a prophetic vision. He could feel it coming on and said, "Oh, no. Not here." He fell to the floor, convulsing and shaking, his eyes twitching and rolling to the top of his head. M yelled for a stretcher to take him to the infirmary.
Ralph was taken to the infirmary and placed on an examination bed. He continued to convulse and shake for half an hour and then fell into a trance, staring at the ceiling for another half an hour. While this happened, the human and alien doctors examined Ralph's vitals and brainwaves. These brainwave patterns were different from anything they had ever seen.
Finally, Ralph came out of the trance and, with a slightly slurred speech, said, "There is a UFO that will crash near New York in two days. It will crash into an apartment building, killing and injuring many people."
M asked, "How do you know this?"
Scrunching his eyes closed because of his headache, he said, "You remember I told you about the green guy DNA and the side effects? This is one of them. Not everyone gets these … I'm just one of the lucky ones. Can I get something for this horrendous headache? They aren't usually this bad." He moaned and said, "Maybe it is because there were aliens in the vision," He rubbed his head with his hands.
Ralph sat up and removed Suit, sitting on the bed with only the sheet covering him.
Ralph explained, "I must remove Suit before taking any medication because the suit enhances the potency to the point where there could be an overdose problem."
One of the doctors gave him two pills and a glass of water. Ralph said, "Thank you." He took the pills and washed them down with water. He then added, "There may be more of these. They usually come in batches."
He started to sit up, got a strange look in his eyes, and slowly whispered, "But not usually this close together," and fell back to the bed, convulsing, shaking, and moaning. After another half an hour, the convulsing stopped, and Ralph entered the trance stage. His headache was even worse when he woke from the second trance than in the first. He closed his eyes tightly and held his head between both hands, shaking slightly and taking deep breaths, trying to relax. He said, "Oh, God, my head."
M and C were there when he came out of the trance. C asked, "Did you see more about the ship crash?"
Ralph moaned and said between gasps of pain, "Yes, it will hit the atmosphere at 11:04 a.m. The crew inside is all passed out or something. The ship is totally out of control. If you can knock it out of its current trajectory, it will miss Earth and hit the Moon." He rolled onto his side, pulled his legs into a fetal position, held his head with his hands, and began shaking. One of the doctors came over with a syringe and gave him an injection of pain reliever. Ralph relaxed and fell asleep.
The next day, when Ralph awoke, he still felt very dizzy. M was there next to the bed.
Ralph said, "I'm sorry about all the drama. I haven't had one of those for a few months. I'm going to be tired for a while. I could go right back to sleep. Did you guys find the ship and stop it?"
As he asked the question, C walked up and answered, "Yes, we did and managed to land the Octomage ship on the moon remotely. They had a mendotonic gas leak, and the entire crew and passengers were unconscious. Your information saved many lives. Thank you."
Ralph said, "You're welcome. Can I go to my room and sleep for a while? These prophetic visions drain me." He sat up and put on Suit under the sheet.
C stepped aside so Ralph could get out of bed. He was a little dizzy when he stood, but it passed quickly. He walked back to his room slowly next to M. M locked the door after he entered. He took his Suit off and went to bed. He slept for eight hours, and when he awoke, he felt refreshed. He got up and did some exercises and showered and shaved. M and C watched him as he exercised naked. M said, "Pam is a lucky lady to have a man with a great body like Ralph's."
C said, "I'm sure he knows we are watching him and does all of this naked to elicit that exact type of response you just gave." and walked away.
M said to herself, 'I don't care; he still has a great body that looks nice.' She sighed.
Ralph put on Suit and sat down to meditate. Just as he was entering the first level of meditation, he could feel the familiar tingle of Suit's connection. He asked in his mind, 'Suit, are you awake?'
Suit said, 'Yes, but I am still not 100% operational. It will be another 12 hours before recalibration is completed.'
Ralph said, 'It will be good to have you back,' and continued with his meditation. He did not make any outward sign that Suit was nearly functional; Ralph knew they were watching him all the time.
