Log Entry 2
This is Dr. Lance Cader recording the second jump that I recently took. As noted in the earlier log entry, through mapping the Gay Gene, anyone with the same gene could send their consciousness through time into another person. My trip to World War II France has been enlightening and my assistant and I learned a lot for future jumps.
Today we tuned the GG-69 program to January 1918 and found a candidate aboard the USS Minneapolis in port in Philadelphia preparing to transport troops to Europe to help out in the war. This ship had taken one of the worse hits from the Spanish Influenza during the year 1918. Turning the dials, my assistant Paul homed in the frequency and with a flash of blue, I found myself looking through the eyes of Johnny a sailor aboard the ship sitting on a berth next to another crying sailor. From Johnny's consciousness, I learned the horror of the current epidemic and the fear he felt of both getting that flu and the uncertainty of going to Europe for the war.
"Billy, I know he was your cousin from Kansas and you two worked on the family farm but you can't go near his body as you may catch this flu" I said in the voice of Johnny. "This shipped is rampant with this disease and we need to find somewhere safe so that we aren't in such tight quarters with these other sailors. So many people are sick that they won't miss us on our off time. I found us a hidden area behind some ammunition crates down in the hold. Grab some blankets and a pillow because it will be cold there but that will help us avoid this death."
With a sniffle the 6ft blond headed farm boy gathered some things and followed John to their new sleeping area. Glancing in a porthole reflection on the way down, I could see that John was around 5'10 with olive skin. With the New York accent that I heard when I spoke through him, I guessed he was of Italian descent. The two sailors found their hidden area and settled their blankets and pillows.
"Johnny, I'm cold. Can you scootch closer?" Billy asked in a quiet voice.
"Billy, we need both of our body heat. Let us lay these blankets out and cover both of us with the top blankets so that we can share our heat. We also need to get down to just our boxers. We need skin to skin contact."
"Are you sure Johnny?" asked Billy "I'm a little shy still not being used to being around so many guys I don't know."
"Well, you know me, Billy".
