Subject: I'm dead?

Just for the sake of doing it I googled my name Jerry B. Falls, USS Barb, accident today and guess what? I retired in 1973, I was on Barb from 7/62 to 12/64. It said Jerry B. Falls QMC(SS) died in San Diego in 1976 on Barb FROM AN ACCIDENT
I had the accident in 1963 when the Fairing hatch on the bridge fell on me and hit me in the neck. Later that year I had a cervical operation at Oak Knoll Naval Hospital. Since that time I have had two Lumbar and one more cervical operation which limited my mobility and has me using a wheel chair for any great distances.

Word of my demise has been greatly exagerrated (Mark Twain I believe). At 76 I am still here and the rest of my body is not in too bad shape.

Are you sure you're alive? You never reported to USS Ray, according to the crew list at:

Subject: Maybe....

....you are visiting a shadow Earth after having had a deep sleep.

This is a reality game, you have just awoken up when in all reality you shouldn't have. This has sent the 'Masters' in a spin, especially now that you have spoken out. Now there are us out there that know the truth!

Muldrer and Scully will visit you shortly. People thought it was just a neat idea that they do another movie after so many years.

I am afraid to sleep tonight, who knows what will happen to me! I now know about people coming back from the 'dead'.

The real scary part about this is that I am at least 12 hours ahead of you guys, if I make it alive tomorrow, I will let you know it's safe.

Hmmmmmm......but how do I know that YOU guys aren't one of 'THEM'?

Psssst....POD, meet me at the 'Bell Tower' at midnight!
