Part 1

This would be the first attempt at investigative reporting or writing of any kind for that matter. His friend had got him the job for a smaller tabloids-type publishing. They specialized in the strange such as UFOs or ghosts. His first story would be from a story he had heard as a kid.

Everyone has heard of Bigfoot but during his time living on the reservation the Natives talked about it as if it was fact. The Sasquatch, as they called it, was considered to be real. The story was the medicine man knew the Bigfoot from the forest. The medicine man was a bit of a mystical creature himself. Meeting a friend from the Nooksack Tribe in the town of Deming North of Bellingham just south of the Canadian border.

Back in the school days a carload of people including himself and a friend had seen something run across the road between two corn fields out in the middle of nowhere outside a town called Acme. Nobody in the car said anything until about an hour later. Everyone thought they were seeing something until someone asked everyone else if they has seen the same thing. Could have been practical jokers but maybe not. First he would need to seek out the medicine man.

Finally, Jake's Native American friends had arrived at the casino and joined him for lunch. After some catching up Jake explained his new job and reminded Tom of the stories told by his aunts and uncles and about their encounter near the corn fields. He explained that he had only seen the medicine man once as a kid. His dad had died and his mom had poured out some alcohol on the ground in his memory. Apparently this was not a good thing in the Native American culture.

The medicine man had come down from the hills and had said that someone had poured alcohol to the dead. Tom's Grandmother who was still alive had grown up with the medicine man. The medicine man was chosen as a kid to become a shaman, live in the forest, and learn traditional medicine. The plan was through these connections Jake would get to interview the medicine man and potentially get a chance to look for the Sasquatch on Native land. If you have never been to this region of the world it is a thick forested area with clean, clear, streams. Watcom falls near the community college is a great place to get a glimpse of what is in the less travelled mountain area.

Tom thought it was funny that Jake would even try but being a good friend he would help him the best he could. They would go out to the grandmother's house after dinner and get the investigation started. After about a ten mile drive out onto the reservation they arrived. Jake had worked for her husband on the reservation mowing lawns when he was alive. His grandfather was from the Philippines and a master chef. Hanging out with Tom and his family was often a gourmet cuisine. Jake wished he had not eaten just in case there were leftovers. After catching up Jake began to reveal his other reasons for going out to the reservation. It turns out the medicine man had come down and visited her a few days before. He had told her that he was coming out and what to tell him.

This was odd because he just started the job and had not planned on visiting a few days ago. The instructions the medicine man had given her is that if Jake wanted to interview him to ask about Sasquatch he would need to give up technology and live in the forest for a month. He had just started this job so he wasn't sure how the people paying him would react to paying him to live in the woods to get the interview. The boss must have been in a great mood because he agreed to pay Jake for the month of time but he would have to write about the experience even if he didn't get to see Bigfoot.

There was one time that Tom had left Jake out on the Reservation at night and he had to walk down the road surrounded by the woods. He remembers something large enough to crack branches following him the entire time. He through a lighter on the ground to break it and make a large popping sound to scare whatever was stalking him. He needed to get a survival guide immediately. He needed to know what he could eat in the forest. A poison mushroom often looks identical to the edible ones. Jake knew some survival skills from Boy Scouts and survival shows he often watched.

He had often fantasized about moving to Alaska and living in the wild. If he could live in the more mild forest for a month with the shaman perhaps he would obtain the skills to take the next step. He wasn't sure how to mentally prepare for this adventure. He had almost forgotten that the objective was to find Bigfoot. It was a week before he was to meet the medicine man so for now he would catch up with his old friend.

Part 2

Now it was time to do some survival research just in case there was any truth to the medicine man's story. Tom the friend that had told him of the medicine man was a practice joker and did know his friend that got him the job. It seemed suspicious that he was so easily able to dedicate a month to getting the story. Just in case he would learn about native plants and mushrooms in the area. It was fun to go mushroom hunting anyway he had gone with Tom and his friend that knew mushrooms.

It was a good time. He even went as far to eat a couple of insects, that's what they seemed to do on the survival shows. Who knows what he was getting himself into. He imagined one of those mystic adventures where he would have to walk down a trail and not look back. There's always some kind of story like that it seems. The Greek story of Orpheus has a similar theme. The important thing was he would just report what he was told no matter how ridiculous. The story Tom told him about the medicine man made it seem like he would be out in the woods in a loin cloth hidden in the bushes covered in war paint. The day finally came for him to go and stay in the medicine man for about a month.

Tom had given him the directions to meet him and would be expected. It is probably good to note to some people that it is not a good idea going deep into the reservation unless you are invited or with someone from the tribe. When he got to the destination it was a house. Kind of worn and lived in but it was a house not living out in the brush. He introduced himself and the medicine man introduced himself as Mike. He was maybe I'm his sixties or seventies it was hard to tell. What Mike wanted help with was fixing up his house and help out in the garden. Tom had told him about previous experience landscaping and working at a hardware store and plant nursery. The climate and the soil were different but it could be figured out. Mike showed him around. The garden was impressive with a wide variety of plants.

Most people would see an unorganized mess but from previous experience he recognized the polyculture gardening methods. This just means instead of rows of one crop which is called monoculture there is a wide diverse population of plants. This is beneficial for a few reasons. For example legumes such as beans or peas collect nitrogen from the atmosphere and put it into the ground. When the pea or bean plants get cut down they leave the nitrogen in the root zone and in the compostable materials from the plant. Anything green contains nitrogen as far as plants go. Another benefit is what is called a biological fixer. These plants can have more than one purpose. For example they can attract beneficial insects to help manage the garden or access nutrients that are locked in soil.

Over time polyculture does not require fertilizer inputs or chemical control. Monoculture attracts infestations because there is an abundance of one thing with nothing to help control infestations. Larger scale more permanent crops such as orchards are called permaculture farms. These methods work great small scale and can yield large harvests for a family with limited space. Certain trees are legumes such as locust or Siberian Pea Tree. Legumes often grow pods. The medicine man showed him the problems he had with the deer and other animals eating his plants. Outside of gardening it was mostly fixing leaky valves. He would also help him fix the roof. It was composite shingles probably put on during a cold day. As long as the wood was not rotten underneath it would be an easy fix. Some roof tar on a warm day and a couple of roofing nails.

After the first week of an awkward situation we finally got comfortable enough to talk about the Bigfoot or Sasquatch. What the medicine man did is make remedies from plants in his garden and from the forest. He also did a type of massage that was similar to the Asian concept of centering oneself. A friend from back home had gone to the Mayan version that the Mexican people would go to. Somehow the Mayan medicine man got rid of nerve pain in the friends back. Another friend with a military background had visited what he referred to as a witch doctor with an Eastern or Asian natural medicine background.

He figured out a skin allergy by having the friend hold up bags with different household items such as toothpaste and soaps. The friend was unable to hold up the soap when the witch doctor pushed on his hand. Modern medicine couldn't figure it out with fancy testing but Eastern medicine solved it in ten minutes. He knew that a medicine man was usually an expert in alternative healing. It is just the old way. Now the concept is to synthesize medicines similar to what is in plants. What you might find in a modern pain reliever is the same is what you would find in certain birch and willow tree bark. The synthetic version has a faster effect but the natural version last longer. Mike explained that the common mistake of using an herbal tea is people try and make it taste good.

A medicinal amount of an herbal tea is highly concentrated and doesn't taste that good. Mike had lived in the forest as part of his training. He was not going to bother training someone in a month to learn what takes a lifetime. Mike had reluctantly told me about the Sasquatch even though that is what the purpose of helping him out was. He likely didn't want to seem to crazy but the story he told wasn't what was expected. Apparently the Sasquatch was able to talk but only communicated in the Native Tribal language which was being lost with time.

The Bigfoot told Mike that once the language was forgotten their relationship with nature would also be forgotten. Mike told him that it was the Bigfoot who had been following him in the woods as a kid. Apparently the Sasquatch could read thoughts and intentions of individuals. According to Mike the Sasquatch could also smell better than a bear and could trick most people's mind. The way he explained it is that it worked kind of like fiber optics. The mind only saw what it wanted to. He imagined something like the Predator our running around in the woods. This was far from the image of a wild savage beast. If this wasn't strange enough the Sasquatch had told him a story that would make Sasquatch seem not as far fetched. According to Mike Sasquatches could live thousands of years. The Sasquatch even had his own version of Gilgamesh and his encounters with the wild man Onkido. According to the Sasquatch Gilgamesh nearly lost his life to the wild man who ran with the forest creatures. The embellished tale of the humans had Gilgamesh the victor. Also according to the Sasquatch humans were aliens from Mars. They had destroyed their own planet with their wars and technology. Apparently humans were initially a lot weaker and smaller. They had to combine their DNA with primates from Earth in order to have a chance on earth. Before the humans showed up the Sasquatch was the dominant species on the planet. He could see why Mike didn't want to tell him about the Sasquatch. The way Mike told it was a matter of fact and never showed any sign of joking. This was just the type of story that publisher was after. This story seemed so unlikely but it was interesting.

Part 3

This was Jake's first attempt at writing of any kind. He mostly had done more labor and retail related jobs. Mike had been telling him abound the Sasquatch but he needed to establish a time line. The good type of thing about this job is it didn't require fact checking or further investigation. Well some investigation of the area and sights of interest relating to Mike's story.

The first thing he needed to know is when and where he had encountered the Sasquatch. According to Mike his predecessor who was the actual medicine man who came down from the forest. Mike enjoyed company unlike the medicine man before him who lived out his life in the woods. He figured he needed to be closer to people to help them and he said living outside is hard and uncomfortable. The Bigfoot had been watching him during his training. Mike said the Bigfoot was mostly a solitary animal but enjoyed some interactions with residents of the deep forest. At that time it was him, the medicine man, and the creatures of the forest. Mike would mention attributes of the Sasquatch as he told his story. According to Mike the Bigfoot was very in tune with the earth.

According to modern humans there are 5 or 6 known senses if you count balance as a sense or think that some people are capable of E.S.P. According to the Bigfoot and some ancient cultures such as the Egyptians there are 365 senses. Humans have shut off the ones that they don't need because they no longer use them. They have focused on the senses that are best for survival and navigation of the physical world. A Sasquatch is in tune with everything around it. If a plant such as grass is stepped on or a bush brushed up against it sends out a distress signal. The Sasquatch could sense the distress of a single blade of grass from a mile or more. The Bigfoot claims their decline was caused by solitary and territorial behavior. Like the Lion and Tiger comparison. A tiger is a bigger, faster, stronger animal than a lion but Tigers don't operate as a pack. Even though a Sasquatch could tear a human in half just as easily as a person could ring the water out of a sponge they were territorial.

The medicine man before Mike was able to teach him medicine but Mike was not as in tune with the Earth. After establishing when Mike had met the Bigfoot and a little about the creatures abilities he wanted to know about the Sasquatch's version of history. Mike was about to drop another bombshell to add more details to the tale. The Sasquatch had told him that the same DNA and RNA exists throughout the Universe. DNA adapts differently to different conditions. On the Earth after most of the Dinosaurs were wiped out the dominant primates with the highest intelligence on land were the Sasquatch. On Mars there was a smaller version of a human similar to a grey alien. These were actually offspring of a larger being from a completely different planet.

The other planet was in an extremely long orbit. It was a very large planet with fairly extreme environmental conditions. The result was a very large and extremely intelligent being with incredible strength and an extremely long life span. Mars and the Earth are a little to warm for them to stay long periods of time. Jake thought about one of his friends from the South warning him about watching too many documentaries. The Southern friend would always make fun of his uncle for "Watching old big hair chasing the Ewanakis around." He was referring to the Unnanaki from the Summerian text. He had a little laugh thinking about it as Mike was talking. Mike mentioned ancient Egypt but there is a couple different ancient Egypts. The one we are most familiar with is well documented by the Greeks and into Roman times.

Before that there is the Mesopotamia ancient History such as the battles with Hittites. What Mike was referring to was the Matriarchal Ancient Egypt which was about 12,000 years ago before Western influence. The rivers flowed a little differently then. There were previous cultures that are mentioned in the older Vedic tales from India. According to the Bigfoot we are nowhere close to the technology level of the past. The truth is hidden in our children's stories or myths. Mars was actually a functional planet at one point but it was destroyed by human nature and technology. After the extinction of the dinosaurs the earth was far more attractive to inhabit. The people who built Mars were actually created from the DNA of the inhabitants of the larger planet.

They were designed as a worker race. They were adapted to survive better on Mars. If you are to look at a humans genetics it is actually fused together. Ironically the people from Mars used the DNA from Earth to create a worker race to mine earth for minerals used in technology. Going to another planet is a just like discovering a new country. Wealth and greed play a role in creating war. Mars had advanced defenses using a giant particle beam to defend the planet. It could use the ionesphere to generate a huge lighting bolt. What they had not counted on is when the large planet came close to the sun on it's long orbit it caused a huge static charge. The large planet orbits between Mars and the Earth. With the defense system of Mars it created what is called a Cosmic Lightning Bolt. If you look at Mars half of it is textured and half of it is smooth. Basically the cosmic lighting bolt grounded itself on the planet destroying it's atmosphere and destroying part of the moons of Mars. Without an atmosphere or proper balance from the pull of the moons to create waves the planet failed instantly. It might of been the design of the more intelligent beings to kill off the offspring that had gotten out of hand. The large intelligent beings focused their attention on the earth and debated on whether or not to wipe out the humans that were created. According to the Bigfoot a couple of the Mar's clans still exist in unpopulated regions of the world such as deserts in New Mexico, Chile, or Antarctica. Supposedly a whole city exists under the ice. The beings from the large planet imposed themselves as Gods for a time. Humans were a young species and designed to be controlled. The problem is DNA has it's own ideas. Maybe one day humans will experience the same thing with their own creations. In all other matters Mike was honest and completely reliable. Jake wondered how such a sensible guy bought into this fantasy. The mind sees the world as it perceives it. It was important just to listen and not question. It wasn't his intention to embarrass Mike or call him a liar. He was just to record what he said no matter how far fetched it sounded.

Part 4

It was hard to keep a time line because Mike would only talk about the Bigfoot when he wasn't busy with something else. He was often helping people, working on his garden, and would sometimes make carvings. For all Jake knew the whole thing could be a set up maybe even a test. It was possible this assignment was injected into his life for a purpose. Tom knew the publisher. It could be a test of journalism skills. So far what Jake had noted was Mars people introduced humans about 150,000 years ago. They used their DNA and another primates to fuse together humans. The first humans were not as autonomous as the later models. Strong and easy to control but not intelligent enough for complex tasks. It took a few formulations but different types with different attributes were developed to mine the different climates. The people from Mars were created to settle and mine Mars in a similar fashion. They were made small to live off of small rations for long periods of time. The Mar's people or grey aliens lived for long periods of time. They had similar attributes as a super organism.

They could communicate with each other on things like projects short range. They would use more advanced technology to communicate long range. The Bigfoot doctrine is a bit different than our human version. Sasquatches are able to pass information genetically as well as orally. They could basically meditate and contact their ancestors and obtain information. The Bigfoot doctrine involving humans starts with an ancient encounter. A grey alien was probing the earth looking for minerals. It had gotten out to take a sample of the water and test it. The alien would frequent the same area. One time while out taking samples one of them had turned off it's protective field to take a crap. The ancient Bigfoot took advantage and trapped the alien. The ancient Bigfoot did not understand the aliens language but could understand it's thoughts. The alien was pleading for it's life.

The ancient Sasquatch wanted to know what they wanted and why. The alien showed him in his mind. They were interested in gold, mercury, silver, and other precious materials. In their thoughts the alien walked him through the spacecraft. The motor consisted of two cylinders one inside the other. They create opposing charges creating a rotating magnetic field. This creates electrons that then are ran through plates an insulators that increase the power. After this it goes through a device similar to a Tesla coil creating high frequency energy which excites a gas creating a type of plasma. The types of crafts the grey aliens used was the classic metallic spacecraft. The plasma is a heat source and also charges high energy weapons as well as protective fields. Some of the energy was also used to operate a superconducting device similar to what we use for a Mag-Lev train. The high energy could be used in different ways. For example a diamagnetic field can be generated to go into atmospheres as well as travel through water as easily as air. These systems it used for domestic travel and defense. The spacecraft itself was a super collider. The high frequency energy created and kept electrons and anti electrons suspended in a magnetic field inside of tiny tubing. The particles could be allowed to collide together and create a reaction generating huge amounts of energy. There were other charging devices that worked similar to focus fusion technology. Different amounts and frequency of energy were required for different tasks. The crafts have cloaking technology that work similar to a chameleon or octopus.

They are able to control how photons are refracted. The craft just looks like an invisible object when traveling at lower speeds. When long distances are traveled a more complicated technology is used. Even at the speed of light it takes time to travel across the universe. There are a couple of ways to overcome this. One is entangled particles which we use in quantum computers and photon experiments. Several entangled particles need to be generated and physically transported to a location. Great for known locations with known materials. The tricky part of sending something or someone in this method is making sure the same materials are available on the other end. Something is taken apart, destroyed, and then reassembled on the other side. Another way is to open up a sort of window in spacetime. This can be accomplished two ways. One is by achieving absolute zero in a field outside of the spacecraft. This allows the craft and content to operate as a wave rather than a particle and traveling through physical matter. A beacon is key for appearing in the right place in the physical world. The plasma energy could also be used to create a high energy field that emits an orange glow. These are the most common sightings because they are visible in our light wavelength. Basically it can travel from one side of the sky to another in an instant. When they take off they shoot straight up. There was another way as well but wasn't used as much as the other systems. Matter could be translated into information and particles such as neutrinos that travel faster than light. There were problems with this technology. Only single elements were sent this way. The problem with exceeding the speed of light is the further you travel the further back in time you go. The grey aliens were advanced but nowhere near the beings that created them. The Sasquatch realized that these beings were also responsible for his creation. They had planted the DNA on the earth. What was strange is the humans were closer to the original species than the grey aliens in appearance. This would cause problems during a visit. They were attracted to the women of earth. The relationships would often result in a type of super human like Gilgamesh. The original humans didn't have the same telemeres as later humans. Telemeres determine life span. The Sasquatch claims the first human is still around, well at least part of him. The problem with Adam is he can regenerate from a single cell. The grey aliens captured him and put him in a liquid that dissolves as fast as he can regenerate. The container is buried under the ice in Antarctica to slow the process further. The distant one is just waiting to be released like a genie in a bottle.

The Sasquatch wanted to crush the grey alien but the consequence would be a hunting party. The Sasquatch instead made a diplomatic decision. He would let the alien keep it's life if they would leave Sasquatches as well as forest animals and plants. The grey alien made the deal but would later use the human to hunt the Sasquatches. Technically they were keeping the deal. Unfortunately a ruthless being created the grey aliens. The larger beings had all kinds of personalities just like us. The one that created the grey aliens lacked empathy. He was called Mars by the Romans and Aries by the Greeks. Like to intimidate humans by hunting them down and using their skins to create hammocks. He was who checked on the operations. They would just sort of show up. They would just materialize but it would seem as if they had been there the whole time. Their technology was superior to the residents of Mars. They watch us now but would intervene in our lives in the past. After the ancient ancestor of the Sasquatch encountered the alien and let him go he decided to seek advice from another ancient. Kouplacaun is what we call a dragon who lived in the ocean near what is now South America.

The dragon was from the previous Era of life. It was basically an intelligent dinosaur. They were hunted to extinction by humans but not without a fight. The ancient Bigfoot who was then in what we call Asia or Eurasia built a vessel and headed across the sea. The dragon knew how future events would play out. The dragon later helped the Mayans chart the stars. The dragon worked everything out mathematically and had witnessed encounters in the past with the large beings. The earth at first was a hunting ground. Dinosaurs made great trophies and were tasty to them. The dragon on more than one occasion made them realize they were not invincible. Mike's story was getting out of hand for the moment. Aliens, Bigfoot, dragons, and humans. He told Mike he needed a break to make notes and organize information. He wondered if Mike had a supply of Magic mushrooms or something he wasn't telling him. Jake just thought take a break and get back to the job. For all he knew it was a test and his attention to details is what was important.

Part 5

Mike would sometimes jump in and out of different events in time and would sometimes go on about how alien technology worked. He would often add something he had left out or just added more detail. On example Jake thought he might be able to kind of grasp was some of the energy sources. Jake was no physicist and neither was Mike. He wondered if one of his stories would be about him and the Sasquatch stealing an alien vessel. It was strange the amount of detail considering he was telling a story he was told. Maybe that was the challenge. He needed to get as many details as possible. They probably were testing his performance as a journalist. Really he had no idea what to do. He was just going to record ad much detail as possible, read previous articles, and format his story or Mike's, or Bigfoot's story and whomever else's story. One example of Mike's added detail story is when he was talking about Plasma.

According to him something solid can be melted into a liquid, heated into a gas, and then further heated into plasma. He explained the spinning cylinders one inside the other started with a small charge created from a rotating magnetic field. There was also mercury used to help conduct or something. From there it would go through a series of capacitors to build up the charge. Basically stacks of conductive plates with insulating plates. Mike had done the old science experiment where you fill a bucket full of glass bottles and poor salt water around them. A charge coming in would build up. The charge was constantly coming in from the rotating magnetic field. Friction or a rotating magnetic field can create free electrons and when you get enough of these built up it wants to flow as an electrical charge. Most things that create electricity spin something, usually by using heat energy. After enough energy was created to create a plasma by heating a gas photons or light is added. It is concentrated with a magnifying lens refracted and concentrated more times. The type of light is filtered with a prism. Different light spectra have different properties. The focused energy then gets super-heated through a focus fusion process. It requires a lot of energy to create a focus fusion reaction. Basically if you could take all of the power from a large dam to create a focus fusion reaction the energy output is incredible in a compact space.

That is enough energy for travel without the solar system but even more energy is required for further travel. The focus fusion reactor is then used to create anti electrons and keep them traveling faster than the speed of light in a magnetic field. Tiny tubing is coiled to create long distances of travel in a fairly compressed space. An electron is kept in the same condition suspended in a magnetic field in tiny tubed rotating the opposite direction. Once both particles are traveling fast enough they are collided together in a chamber. This had a huge power output. Jake tried to keep everything as exact as what he was told. He would let the scientists or whoever read the publishing determine the credibility of the science. When Mike finally got back to the story about the ancient Sasquatch building a boat and crossing the ocean from Eurasia to South America as we know them. There he was to me at kuplacaun or something like that.

According to Mike he was often depicted by the Mayan as some sort of snake dragon thing. The ancient Bigfoot was to meat him near the coastline of the Pacific Ocean. Mike noted that the dragon had both gills and lungs and could even fill itself with water and live on the bottom of the ocean. It could adapt to any amount of pressure. It's skin was similar to an octopus but much thicker. It could become the textured surface of an overview bottom and never be detected even by modern technology. Mike mentioned that people were not the smartest thing on the planet. They view Bigfoot as a wild animal and set put to trap it as one. If the Bigfoot becomes irritated he becomes the hunter. If you go that deep in the woods who's to say what happened.

When the ancient Sasquatch finally reached the beach of an island close to modern day Brazil he found a gift of fish and seaweed waiting for him prepared. The dragon knew he was coming. Or at least he had calculated the potential of him showing up at that specific time. After eating the dragon revealed himself. He disguised himself as a wave coming into shore. The Sasquatch was able to sense his presence but his optical camouflage was amazing. The Bigfoot asked the dragon how he knew he was coming. The dragon's reply was that time was an illusion. The mind required it to navigate the physical world. The dragon said he was there simply because the Sasquatch believed he would be. The observation of the Dragon allowed the Dragon to exist. Maybe that dragon was hanging out with his cousin puff a little too often Jake thought ad Mike told the story. Mike mentioned that an atom only exists where it is being observed. The dragon told the Sasquatch about the history that was about to unfold and it was unstoppable. The Sasquatch told the dragon of the faults in their defensive systems. The Dragon was going to lie in wait. He would let the Mars people create the human. He would let them build their villages. Then the dragon would wait for the right moment and take out the grey aliens by turning the people against them. The dragon had told him the grey alien he had captured had managed to collect the Bigfoot's DNA. The dragon told him that the humans would at least be half good despite their destructive nature.

He told the Sasquatch of the battles to come. The humans were one thing but the big aliens from the distant planet would defeat them. The Dragon reached out his hand and the Sasquatch grabbed it. The Sasquatch saw through the dragons mind the future that would unfold. The Bigfoot saw all of the battles and the victories and eventually loss along the way. He would watch the world change. He would return to Eurasia and head up to what is know the Hindu Kush mountains and find his distant relatives roaming the hills. He was to develop fighting systems to help focus strength, energy, and the mind. A war was coming eventually. Once the humans got here they would first work in mines and when they are no long needed for that they would get used like chess pieces in wars. He mentioned a conflict back on the big aliens planet between the one later called Mars and others. The big aliens didn't like an intelligent organism enslaved. It is a politician argument that had divided opinions back home. The cosmic thunderbolt that it finally escalated to was the result of a political dispute. There was a war between the three planets that would change what seemed to be a natural order to things.

The Sasquatch knew that he could not win the war but he was going to put the right amount of respect and fear in the hearts and minds of everything else. He had made a deal with the grey aliens and was not going to be able to attack until the alien set their human army loose on them. The dragon had placed the thoughts in his mind of how to build weapons he needed to fight. It would take a long time for the humans to get a foothold. The Sasquatch would travel the world looking for others like him. There actually were not that many considering the size of the planets. They lived for long periods of time and a female may only have one offspring. They were the shephards of the wilderness. They were mostly there to protect everything else. In a way the human was them. Created from the same DNA. Sasquatch was initially created by the big aliens or at least the DNA coding that led to the life form. Maybe eventually they all resembled the big aliens. Maybe they were just a product of something before them. There seemed to be a theme of constant change.

Part 6

While Mike was out on an errand Jake was at his house watching a documentary on Scientology. Jokingly he thought of Sasquatchology based on Mike's Bigfoot stories. Aside from alien technology Mike would sometimes talk about the habits of a Sasquatch. He said they could roam the entire planet more than once in a lifetime. It would only become territorial during mating seasons and the first two years of the offspring's life. After that it would stay with the mother for ten more years and then head out on its own.

They have much stronger instincts than people as well as the memories of their ancestors. With built-in camouflage and the ability to adapt to any environment. Now they frequent the harshest environments with the deepest wilderness. They communicate with the old tribal medicine men and the monks that preserve the ancient secrets. It could run over 50 MPH and navigate any terrain. Because of the amount of humans on the planet there was sightings here and there. The Sasquatch could also be moody and take offense to drunk hunters or campers leaving their trash. The Sasquatch would usually just throw a large boulder from the tree line and give out a war cry that would scare anyone.

According to Mike they also had telepathic traits. They could access memories by touching anything living. They were often solitary animals but would interact with all animals of the forest and jungles. They lived long periods of time and had symbiotic relationships with the planet and it's creatures. Sasquatches are graze as well as hunt. It preferred fish but would eat rabbits or other rodents if necessary. A Bigfoot as the term describes has very large feet that take up a lot of surface area rarely leaving a track. Through deep snow they often slide across the top on their bellies rather than leaving tracks. They are excellent climbers and can jump from tree to tree. If they stand straight up they can reach 15 feet tall. Their feet were different from humans. Humans feet are not as naturally suitable for all terrain.

According to Mike's story humans were actually de-engineered to prevent them from adapting and becoming too independent. Another strange thing he through in there was a so called master race was a combination of all races. A human was the result of genome splicing. In order to access recessive genes such as telepathy genes would need to be mixed together. The distant one Utanapishtum was able to change his skin tone before they put his brain in the jar. The distant one was the perfect prototype but too dangerous for simple tasks like mining.

New ideas are always dangerous. There is a strange anomaly with human genes. It does appear that genes have been spliced together. Genetic flaws that are advantageous are common among evolving species. Species usually evolve into an environment where the human adapts an environment. When compared to other mammals humans are not as easily able to adapt. Pigs for example can grow tusks in a couple weeks after being set free in the wild even though in domestic conditions they have no tusks. The story was far fetched but there were underlying truths to it. It was raining again outside so Jake had the perfect time to go over his notes. There was only a few days left to get what he could. Jake was just going to try to get is as accurate and descriptive as possible. Whether it was true or not wasn't important. Getting the details and putting into the proper format would be important.

The readers of the publishing wanted strange with hints of facts. Mike never really talked to anyone else about the Sasquatch but seemed to enjoy telling Jake about it. Jake was able to fix the roof and everything else that leaked as well as give Mike a hand with chores. Tom the friend that introduced him to Mike was a layer in the Seattle area. He knew the publisher through mutual friends from college. For all Jake knew they could be calling Mike telling him what to say. Aside from getting the story Jake enjoyed the smell of the forest and day trips to rivers, lakes, and other recreational areas. The occasional trip to the hippie, hilly town by the water. Mike would often get fish from friends in the fishing industry. There was nothing better than smoked salmon done correctly. Not even a cedar plank with an expert chef at the grill would be a better use. The expectation of running around in the forest chasing Bigfoot was replaced with home cooked meals tasty to the last. When the rain finally stopped Jake went out to the garden to look for slugs.

Part 7

Now the first retelling of human history was Mike's story of Utanapishtum. The ancient Sasquatch was the first profit who told of the coming invasion and the problems it would cause. It wouldn't be for several generations. There was actually peace for a long time because the humans couldn't venture into the deep wilderness. They stayed by their mines and within their rock walls. Humans were the minority for a long time. It wasn't until the populations got large that they became a pest. Many had escaped from the mines and terrorized workers who stayed behind in the mines.

The grey aliens were not happy about it. Because most developed civilizations were in low lying areas they would use a nuclear reaction to rapidly heat the ice and create a flood. An ancestor of the ancient Sasquatch had become aware of their intentions. He used him camouflage to approach one of them that appeared to be a leader. It was Utanapishtum the ancient one as he was later known. The Sasquatch stood on the other side of the reed fence and spoke the ancient language and told Utanapishtum of the aliens plans. He had told him that he was one of the Gods and used one of their names to convince him.

The Sasquatch spoke as if he was talking to the fence and told the Ancient One to build a round basket type boat. It wouldn't steer very well but it wouldn't cap size in a flood. He told him to take a bunch of animals with him so he could start breeding them when he found dry land to provide for his family and friends. Utanapishtum had different DNA than others. He was the first prototype and very obedient to what he believed to be gods. He was like a developing baby he could regenerate cells. He produced am abundance of the same chemical that can be extracted from a pig intestine lining. This is what allows the pig to adapt so quickly from a domestic to wild environment. After the flood the ancient one was discovered still living. They acted like it was caused by the cruel sinners of the time. Wrath of God caused the disaster. Because he was loyal and they didn't want to admit any wrong doing they told him he was chosen. He was no longer a slave he had earned his freedom. He was brought to an island and was brought many wives over time.

His telemeres were much stronger than others allowing a seemingly immortal life. It was in a way a cruel joke. He would watch his wives and families die. After that the larger aliens started showing up to see why the civilizations were destroyed. This caused political fall out. They enjoyed watching the humans and their struggles. They always found a way to overcome the odds. Humans have kind of a built-in synchronization system. This can be observed with an MRI during deep meditation, hypnosis, hypnotic dancing, hallucinations, and prayer. People's minds seem to operate at the same frequency during these activities. The large aliens were advanced enough to influence dreams and sometimes reality for individuals. To the large aliens the human drama was like an interactive soap opera. They were taking sides and intervening on behalf of their favorite warriors. There were half breed humans that resulted from the large aliens mating with humans.

Now the Sasquatches wanted to rid the world of the half breeds. They could defeat humans easily but the so called half gods were a handful. The only thing worse was a Lupin. These were human and wolf hybrids. Guardians outside of the walled cities. The only problem was anything outside the wall after the sun went down became prey. The most famous of the Lupin were Remus and Romulus. The gene was diluted over time but the blood lust remained. The Sasquatch would kill these things when they felt threatened by them. The large aliens were the toughest. They were strong and had superior technology. The Sasquatch would attack those loyal to the gods but would help those who saw through their tricks. When the large aliens showed up they re-established the slave mining colonies and built the human population back up.

This generation of humans wouldn't live as long so they couldn't become too intelligent. They would first have to learn to work together so they purposely divided them. The humans were no threat until they could overcome time. Eventually they would no longer be slaves. The purpose was to mine gold to shield against radiation in space. When the flood happened the large alien responsible for the Mars base had become unpopular. He had a weapon that used the ionosphere of Mars to create a thunderbolt that could destroy spaceships before they could reach the surface of Mars. This weapon was used against him during a celestial line-up of planets that only happens about every 140,000 years. During this line-up a static charge was created that created a backfire which depleted the Mars atmosphere and broke pieces off of it's moons. This event ended the wars of the large aliens. Instead they used humans like a chess game like what had done before. What finally ended the involvement of the large aliens was a confrontation with a Sasquatch. The Sasquatch had caught one by surprise from behind. It was stronger than the Sasquatch but grabbing it allowed it to enter it's mind. The Sasquatch showed him the consequences of their actions. The large alien was empathetic and knew they had to leave and let the humans have their own future. Eventually the Sasquatch would die and return to the earth. When a Sasquatch is ready to die they meditate until spontaneous combustion. According to Mike there was only a few left and they would be extinct in the near future. Someone somewhere might unwittingly see one in the distance if they venture deep into the remaining wilderness.
