alternate work and "sleep" modes with the Alphas. And then there is
the Elite, who form a privileged aristocracy that rules over the
Alphas and Betas. In the face of increasing pressure from
stasis-jumpers of the Resistance, the Elite insists that extreme
measures are necessary for survival of the species. Their plan,
however, doesn't account for the power of the human heart. Larissa and
Eric have fallen in love even though their only contact, other than
furtive holographic messages, is when they trade places in the stasis
pod they share.

The nightmares, however, aren't real and neither is Tom. He's an

originally created Tom to save humans from fires and other dangerous
situations. However he anticipated that his colleague, Dr. Edward
Normandy, might try to militarize the android and use him as a

When Scott Bowman gets an urgent message from his brother Peter, he
decides to drive back to their hometown of Halford, Washington to see
what is wrong. When he gets there, he discovers that Peter is dead and
his wife Eilleen has been charged with his murder. But that's not the

125. Revival - July 21, 2000 - 6608
Ezra Burnham and his daughter Sarah are old hands at the business of
faith healing. Ezra, a preacher who lost his faith when his wife died,
is the front man, the one who lays his hands on the deaf and lame. But
Sarah is the key to the act, working backstage and communicating with
Ezra through a tiny earphone about the plants she's scattered through
the audience. It's all going well until one day a strange young man in
a wheelchair approaches Ezra near the end of a revival meeting. Luke
is not a plant, but when Ezra lays his hands on him, he not only rises
from his wheelchair, he begins to float six inches off the ground.
After the meeting, Luke and his mother Serna approach Ezra with a
proposition. If Ezra will teach Luke the secret of the revival
circuit, Luke will continue to work his mysterious magic at Ezra's
side.

130. Final Appeal - September 3, 2000 - 6624/6625
It is the year 2076 and Dr. Theresa Givens, a time-traveler from the
20th Century has been sentenced to death. Her crime - violating severe
anti-techology laws passed in the wake of the nuclear holocaust 20
years earlier, an event that destroyed most of the world and prompted
those who survived to return to the bucolic world that existed before
the Industrial Revolution. Theresa has one last chance for a reprieve.
Her lawyer, Nicole Whitely has won leave to appeal to the Supreme
Court, a body headed by Chief Justice Haden Wainwright. The balance of
the court is divided evenly between conservatives who support the ban
on technology and liberals who favor a review. In light of the
importance of the case, the government has sent Solicitor General
Wallace Gannon, a fierce defender of the law, to argue its case. The
court has suspended the normal rules, allowing Theresa to join her
lawyer in speaking in her defense.
