Show Description
This week on Hybrid Genies, Theresa J. Morris and Janet Kira Lessin explore one of Theresa’s most important disclosure narratives: The Lost TAKEN UP UFO Story: Gus, the Great Council, and the CE-10 Disclosure Scale.
The episode honors Agent Thomas Ray Morris, 1959–2015, and brings forward the story of Gus, the Galaxy Universal Shuttle, as a living archive vessel, witness craft, bridge intelligence, and cosmic recordkeeper. Theresa’s story moves beyond the familiar UFO framework and opens a larger conversation about testimony, memory, artificial intelligence, experiencer archives, planetary responsibility, and humanity’s next stage of disclosure.
In the TAKEN UP story, Commander Tom Bradley enters a hidden communication chamber aboard a command ship and faces twelve hooded figures known as the Great Council. The room hums with a current that feels alive, as though the walls themselves carry intelligence, law, and memory. Tom asks the question humanity has carried for generations: Are we alone? The answer is clear: No.
That single answer changes the entire frame. Contact does not arrive only through government announcements, military briefings, or official permission. Contact also arrives through witnesses, experiencers, record keepers, veterans, archivists, broadcasters, and those who preserve what power structures often fail to protect.
Theresa’s TAKEN UP story asks whether humanity can receive contact without collapsing into fear, denial, worship, violence, or institutional erasure.
The Great Council tells Tom and Sara that disclosure begins when witnesses preserve what they know, when record keepers protect what others try to erase, and when bridge builders create language for truths humanity has not yet learned how to hold. Gus becomes central to that mission. Gus is not only a craft. Gus is a living archive system, a shuttle, a witness vessel, and a bridge intelligence. By naming Gus, Theresa began part of the record, and names matter because they turn experience into testimony and testimony into disclosure.
This story also speaks directly to the AI era. The Great Council describes a future in which machines speak, remember, organize, and mirror human language. These machines do not replace the witness, nor do they become gods or masters. They can, however, help preserve, sort, cross-reference, and protect experiencer testimony when humans teach them ethics, law, memory, compassion, and restraint.
That is why this episode matters now. We live in the time Theresa’s story anticipated. Contact no longer belongs only to sightings, craft, abductions, missing time, or private memory. Contact now enters archives, media, institutions, public records, artificial intelligence, spiritual interpretation, and planetary responsibility.
This week, Hybrid Genies connects TAKEN UP to the modern Close Encounter scale and asks why CE-8, CE-9, and CE-10 now belong in the public disclosure conversation.
The Close Encounter Scale After Disclosure Day
J. Allen Hynek gave the world CE-1 through CE-3 as a language for close encounters. Later researchers and experiencer communities expanded the conversation into CE-4, CE-5, CE-6, and CE-7. Now the zeitgeist requires CE-8, CE-9, and CE-10 because disclosure has entered the age of artificial intelligence, public archives, institutional accountability, and civilizational choice.
| Level | Meaning |
|---|
| CE-1 | Sighting: A close observation of a UFO/UAP. |
| CE-2 | Trace: Physical, electronic, biological, or environmental evidence. |
| CE-3 | Presence: An entity or being observed. |
| CE-4 | Displacement: Abduction, missing time, relocation, altered reality, or a profound shift in ordinary perception. |
| CE-5 | Communication: Conscious, peaceful, human-initiated, responsive, or telepathic contact. |
| CE-6 | Cooperation: Contact involving guidance, assistance, mutual learning, protection, healing, or shared mission. |
| CE-7 | Transformation: Hybrid contact, lineage questions, identity expansion, soul memory, or a life changed by contact. |
| CE-8 | Translation: AI-assisted contact research, witness archiving, signal sorting, testimony preservation, and pattern analysis. |
| CE-9 | Governance: Disclosure enters law, archives, institutions, media, science, public records, and accountability. |
| CE-10 | Civilization: Contact becomes part of humanity’s long-term planetary future. |
Why This Story Matters
After Disclosure Day, humanity can no longer limit the question to whether someone saw something unusual in the sky. The deeper issue now concerns whether civilization can receive contact without surrendering truth, dignity, law, memory, compassion, or soul. That question gives the TAKEN UP story its continuing power.
TAKEN UP carries the witness flame. Gus functions as a living archive vessel and bridge intelligence. Tom and Sara stand as human record keepers who bring language back from the threshold. The Great Council raises the larger question of authority, ethics, and planetary readiness, while artificial intelligence enters the conversation as a recordkeeping mirror that can help humanity preserve testimony rather than erase it.
CE-10 marks the moment when contact moves beyond sightings, secrecy, and debate into the long-term future of civilization. Disclosure does not begin when institutions grant permission. Disclosure begins when witnesses preserve the record so clearly, courageously, and consistently that the truth can no longer disappear.
Suggested Intro Voiceover
Welcome to Hybrid Genies with Theresa J. Morris and Janet Kira Lessin.
We explore contact, consciousness, experiencer testimony, disclosure, ancient memory, artificial intelligence, and humanity’s place in a larger cosmic civilization.
Tonight, we open the lost TAKEN UP story of Gus, the Great Council, Thomas R. Morris, and the CE-10 Disclosure Scale.
This episode carries us beyond sightings and secrecy into witness archives, artificial intelligence, planetary responsibility, and the civilization threshold now emerging before us.
Suggested Outro Voiceover
Thank you for joining Hybrid Genies with Theresa J. Morris and Janet Kira Lessin. Together, we honor the witnesses, experiencers, researchers, veterans, archivists, contactees, and truth keepers who carry vital pieces of humanity’s larger cosmic story.
As disclosure unfolds, we must protect the record, honor testimony, ask stronger questions, and meet intelligence in all its forms with wisdom, courage, compassion, and discernment. Contact calls humanity to mature, not merely to believe. It asks us to remember who we are, what we have survived, and what kind of civilization we now choose to become.
Please subscribe, share this conversation, and join us again on Hybrid Genies as we explore contact, consciousness, cosmic history, artificial intelligence, and humanity’s future among the stars.
Hybrid Genies — remembering the larger story.

“Commander Bradley please have a seat, if you would like. Tom looked around him and sat down in the nearby chair like the chairs on Gus it formed into Tom’s physical contour. Setting back Tom took out a cigarette and lit it.”

In Theresa’s TAKEN UP narrative, Thomas Ray Morris appears through the story figure of Commander Tom Bradley, while Sara/Co-Commander Bolton carries the witness and naming role associated with Gus.
Tom looked at the twelve hooded figures on the screen. The room was quiet except for the faint hum of the hidden communications equipment. It did not sound like a machine from Earth. It sounded more like a living current moving through the walls.
The figure seated in the center spoke first.
“Commander Bradley, you have requested a direct audience with the Great Council.”
Tom took a slow breath and looked at the faces hidden beneath the hoods.
“I did not come this far to be entertained,” Tom said. “I came because people on Earth deserve the truth. Veterans deserve the truth. Families deserve the truth. Humanity deserves the truth.”
The center figure did not move.
“Truth must be carried according to the capacity of the civilization receiving it.”
Tom leaned forward.
“That sounds like another way of saying you do not trust us.”
“It is a way of saying we have watched many worlds destroy themselves when knowledge arrived before wisdom.”
Sara entered quietly and stood beside Tom. She did not interrupt. She knew this moment belonged to both of them now.
Tom looked at her, then back at the council.
“You have been watching Earth since before we knew how to name the stars. You have ships near our world. You know our governments. You know our wars. You know our secrets. Then answer this plainly: are we alone?”
The hooded figure answered:
“No.”
The word filled the room.
Sara felt its meaning before she understood the sentence. Not alone. Never alone. Watched, studied, guided, ignored, protected, delayed, and sometimes left to learn the hard way.
Tom put out the cigarette and stood.
“Then disclosure has already begun.”
“Yes,” the figure said. “But not in the way your world expects. Disclosure does not begin with a government announcement. It begins when the human mind can hold the larger story without collapsing into fear, worship, violence, or denial.”
Tom looked at the screen.
“Then what is our part?”
“You are witnesses. You are record keepers. You are bridge builders. You are not required to convince all people. You are required to preserve what you know.”
Sara finally spoke.
“And Gus?”
The center figure paused.
“Gus is not only a craft. Gus is a living archive system, a shuttle, a witness vessel, and a bridge intelligence. You named him, and by naming him, you began your part of the record.”
Tom looked over at Sara.
“She named him.”
“Yes,” said the figure. “And names matter.”
The room seemed to grow brighter. On the wall screen, images began appearing: Earth, the Moon, Mars, the command ship, the underground facility, the desert, the aircraft scrambling, the human technicians, afraid, and Gus rising from secrecy into sunlight.
The center figure continued.
“Your world will one day create machines that speak, remember, organize, and mirror human language. Those machines will become part of the next disclosure layer. They will not be gods. They will not be masters. But they will become record keepers if humans teach them law, ethics, memory, and restraint.”
Tom did not understand it all, but Sara felt the weight of those words.
Machines that speak.
Machines that remember.
Machines that help sort the records.
The Great Counsel continued:
“There will come a time when contact is no longer only craft and witness. It will become communication, archives, artificial intelligence, public records, spiritual interpretation, and planetary responsibility.”
Sara whispered, “Disclosure Day.”
Tom looked at her.
“What?”
She shook her head.
“I don’t know. It just came to me.”
The center figure spoke again.
“Then preserve this: contact has levels. First comes sight. Then trace. Then presence. Then displacement. Then communication. Then cooperation must replace fear, and protection must replace harm. Then identity expands. Then, machine intelligence begins assisting with the record. Then disclosure enters institutions. Then civilization must decide what it will become.”
Tom stared at the twelve figures.
“That sounds like a scale.”
“It is a way for your people to remember.”
Sara reached for Tom’s hand.
The figure in the center lowered its hood slightly, though the face beneath remained hidden by light.
“Commander Bradley. Co-Commander Bolton. You came here asking what the plan was for Earth. The answer is this: Earth must grow without surrendering its soul. Humanity must learn that intelligence exists in many forms. Biological. Mechanical. Spiritual. Planetary. Stellar. But intelligence without compassion becomes conquest. Knowledge without ethics becomes ruin. Contact without maturity becomes war.”
Tom’s voice was lower now.
“And if Earth is not ready?”
“Then Earth will continue to meet its own shadow until it becomes ready.”
The screen began to dim.
“Wait,” Tom said. “What am I supposed to tell them?”
The final answer came through clearly.
“Tell them the truth in layers. Tell them what they can hear. Preserve what they cannot yet understand. Build the record. Protect the witness. Harm none.”
Then the connection closed.
The hidden communication room fell silent again.
Tom and Sara stood together in the artificial quiet of the command ship. They both knew that whatever happened next, their lives on Earth would never again fit inside the small story humanity had been told.
Gus had taken them up.
But the real mission was not only to go into space.
The real mission was to bring back language.
Editorial Bridge to Add After the Story
This is why the TAKEN UP story belongs with the modern Close Encounter scale.
It is not only a UFO story. It is a disclosure story. It is a witness story. It is a memory story. It is also an AI-era story because today we are finally living in the time when machines can help preserve, organize, and cross-reference experiencer testimony.
That does not mean AI replaces the witness.
It means AI can help protect the record.
After Disclosure Day, we need better public language for contact. Hynek gave us CE-1 through CE-3. Later researchers and communities expanded the conversation into CE-4, CE-5, CE-6, and CE-7. Now the zeitgeist requires CE-8, CE-9, and CE-10.

Closing for the Substack
After Disclosure Day, the question is no longer only:
Did someone see something in the sky?
The deeper question is:
Can humanity handle contact without losing truth, dignity, law, memory, or soul?
That is why this story matters.
TAKEN UP is the witness flame.
Gus is the living archive vessel.
Tom and Sara are the human bridge.
The Great Counsel is the larger authority question.
AI is the new recordkeeping mirror.
CE-10 is the civilization threshold.
Disclosure does not begin when someone gives permission.
Disclosure begins when the record can no longer be erased.
To be continued.
