(Tia goes over the matter transference technology available to other races than ours. She also has a fictional story that is pretty humorous from another third dimensional race warning of the disaster that can befall someone in an accidental transportation.)

Tia: Bell is a person that......that's not Bell's real name obviously, it's her handle but it's part of her Hades Base name, that they had on Hades Base.

Russ: when?

Tia: umm before they died.

Russ: a recent.....or a past life?

Tia: yes.

Russ: one prior to this?

Tia: probably a little further back than that actually, I'm not too sure.

Russ: and how were they recognized?

Tia: by their wording.

Russ: they use particular wording?

Tia: yeah, their construction of sentences and things. We run things through the computer and it recognizes patterns and stuff. For example, when Mark writes or you write, there is a particular pattern which is recognizable from past lives.

Russ: Maxxus and Naxxus? 

(Ed. note: a past life in Atlantis when Mark and I were brothers coming from Sirius)

Tia: uh-huh. And we can trace it all the way back if we have copies of writing...that's why....

Russ: to Sirius?

Tia: yeah. That's why we access through the computer. The computer analyzes this information, looks for a specific pattern right? If there is a pattern that is tagged, it will then be sent to Sirius where it is processed and analyzed deeper.

Russ: what about that question from Boisedief about, "what do you need computers for then?" Now you've got millions of bytes of information going through every second.....

Tia: yes but that was self-explanatory, I did not even answer that.

Russ: I answered it.

Tia: yes but I did not, I saw it and went, "phew", that does not need an answer. I think he is one of those people that thinks he is smart but is not.

Russ: he thinks he's got all the answers.

Tia: yeah, a person that thinks that "Star Trek" is the end-all and be-all of everything....I mean that is so far off, it's ridiculous.

Russ: well not all the way off.

Tia: no, the engine propulsion system apparently is possible but the rest of it, some of theories that they come up with are so wacky and far off it's totally implausible. And he seems to take that as the theories that they discuss are plausible, half the time they're not. Matter transference for example, that is very, very dangerous. It does work, but not as reliable as they show on "Star Trek". The fear that the older doctor (McCoy) has of matter transference beams is a common fear for those races that do use matter transference and it's not just a few individuals, it's a lot of them. For example, ripping somebody down and reassembling them, it only works if you have one person.

Russ: oh I'm sure there's lots of horror stories of people it didn't work on.

Tia: oh yeah.

Russ: that would scare the bejesus out of me to go through one of those things.

Tia: well there is a song that I picked up from a third dimensional monitoring that one day four people went out to a party, and this song is always sung by a man right? He went out with his girlfriend, his best friend and his best friend's girlfriend. And they all went through a matter transference beam and now he's pregnant.

Russ: huh.

Tia: I actually couldn't add up, it was a race that has evolved much further than they were when I picked it up. When I picked it up it was something that was broadcast like on your radio waves.

Russ: huh, poor guy.

Tia: it's a song.

Russ: yeah.

John: yeah it's a "Cars"...I think it is a "Cars" song if I'm not mistaken.

Russ: no it's a different race, not this planet.

John: oh a different race.

Russ: a different planet.

Tia: well if my memory is right, the gist is that his body got ripped down to be projected through a matter transference beam with his girlfriend right next to him. They went through it and she has a penis and he has a womb.

Russ: I don't think the "Cars" ever wrote anything like that.

John: no, no, I was thinking of something else.

Tia: and what was it? His best friend has breasts, a penis and very feminine legs and his girlfriend has to shave her legs everyday.......

Russ: scary thought.

Tia: and is flat-chested but it's a song.

Russ: yeah of course, it's not fact.

Tia: no.

Russ: a joke.

Tia: I think it was written as a anti-matter transference song.

Russ: right.

Tia: okay.

Russ: all right.

Tia: no more? Okay.

Russ: not yet, I have something I've saved for Omal instead.
