Post #165 [Two][76.1] [13.1] Sharry sat with the very collector's items that had been given to the Seekaplayerteam01 that had not turned out to be dangerous. The cupcans, of coffee, had proven to be poisoned and the poem, on the tea-towel a curse. The pointscard, supposedly with 100 free points, was a fraudulent document easily detected as such. In front of her were those two last items and the three figurines. Was it a mere whim that had her call for them? Thakas, a permateen neuter male smiled, longingly, at the figurines. “I could add them to my collection!” Sharry shook a finger at him. “Firstly I need to investigate the figures that are not part of any official collection and then, if safe, they can be put on display for all to enjoy but you may have copies of all three.” Display copies would be much larger than the originals. Which was when one of the figurines became animated, turned towards Sharry, and spoke to her. “Sorry about the poison in the coffee! I knew it would be discovered and, anyway, the antidote was also in the coffee though harder to find than the poison. Look again at the cupcans themselves. Restudy the tea-towel. Do the same with pointscard and even the fangiftbox everything came in. There was a conspiracy aimed against you from the start and though weakened it still exists; it became damaged by the resolution that began with the great metaphysical battle fought, perhaps, at Doomscore and is gathering its strength. At its core is a deep threat, not just to you but to many, and behind it is the deeper threat. Is there a 'deepest threat'? I do not know but it would not surprise me. Oh, yes, one more matter; the first five wall safes respawn with the same items but how long they will do that is not within my knowledge; the five buttons, below that, will lead to new results.” There was a shimmering effect and a copy of the fangiftbox materialised. Like the original the fangiftbox there was a 20x20x20 cubic centimetre fangiftbox. Inside were 20 self heating cupcans of coffee, a collectable figurine set of three Seekaplayers in PAASTs but with out the helmets, a pointscard worth 100 points and a tea-towel; on the tea-towel was an odd poem of support and mild adoration along with the Seekaplayers' symbol. Except that this time all items were genuine and there was no poison or antidote involved with the coffee. The voice spoke again. “A genuine fangiftbox for you to make analytical comparisons with. Must go! Now the figurine will become just that! “ Thakas gave her a puzzled look. “Why were you talking to yourself, Sharry?” Sharry sighed. “The voice was speaking through me, not from me, meaning that it is somehow linked to me. Puzzling but true!” Thakas smiled. “Everything about Sharry is a bit puzzling.” Sharry sighed, gave him an ironic smile and ended up with Thakas, a male shaped neuter, sleeping on her lap.

The Great Healing Pyramid of Egypt! You go in injured and-or sick and come out much better but you are bound tightly in bandages so you could be mistaken for a real mummy gone rogue; watch out for those arrows, spears, swords etc.

Post #164 [Two][75.2] [12.2] Serenala Ono'Tasha spoke. “If you mean one Doctor Stella Annelis Freeman, she came to our home, here, was captured and proven to be a doppelshifter of much experience and skill. At least that is what we assumed she was until she escaped in a fashion that had us questioning that conclusion. Unfortunately she had learned the location of our home, here, and so we waited for trouble to arrive; it never did!” Sharry0101 frowned softly. “Why did you capture her? Did she cause you trouble?” Serenala frowned softly, right back. “As was previously ordered, by the sleeping Wisendemigod CrandloOno'Tasha, all strangers were to be captured. No, she caused us no trouble at all, even promising to keep our location a secret except to those she was serving a contract to. As for those who came with her, they were left behind by her and are to be found, comfortably confined, in a chamber not very different from this one. With the last Rainbowflash, that happened, their number was increased being doppelshifters and doppelforms that had started out as doppelformers along with nondoppel followers.” Sharry0101 nodded. “More of our people will be coming here but as friendly allies; envoys will come from the Seekagovernment Ministry of Liaison Affairs, Department of Diplomatic Affairs. They will come in an envoy taskteam that will include Seekabodyguards, Seekasecuritors, Seekaservers and any others as found necessary.” Serenala frowned less softly. “I take it that you Seekars would see us as being inside your territories.” Sharry0101 raised up her hand in a placating manner. “If accepted as a semiautonomous realm, inside the greater Seekahomeworld, you would become one more of many that already exist. Now for the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth and not the deceptions that your kind seem overly dependent on!” Serenala nodded. “We are all, here, a mixture of doppelshifters, doppelforms, others including those found abandoned by the Wisendemigod and myself as the only doppelshaper; as you probably know, a doppelshaper is a more powerful cousin of a doppelshifter being much rarer than them.” “Serenala Ono'Tasha was the name that I held while trying to track this place down but I have come to prefer my newer identity. The story that I told you is mostly alike the one recounted to us by a Wisensubgod survivor of the Wisendemigod's savagery when his own people rebelled against his growing madness. He was in a healing alcove but escaped from it, was perhaps rejected by that piece of Risengodtech, and then fled away taking none with him or attempting no more attacks on his, by then, former followers.” The doppelkind, there, kept their current appearances. There turned out to be nondoppel elfdwarfs amongst them as the animals were not doppelkind. In other spaces were humans, mannoids and others who had willingly joined the Free Complexative. As promised, the envoy taskteam soon arrived but was soon to be followed by more taskteams.

Post #163 [Two][75.1] [12.1] Sharry0101, Gavag and three other Seekachampions came out of one of five doors inset into a wall, the five being a cabled teleport hub or CdTH with its four CdTBs of booths. The elegantly made chamber stretched into the distance with odd curves to its walls, bowl shaped pools fed by small waterfalls, fountains sprayed water into the air from the centers of those bowls. Greenery was a great strip against one wall where grew groves of trees, clumps of bushes and odd sugar can like plants. Deep Elves were there tending gardens, including foodgardens, along with mostly podula-goats and dairy cows. Big oranges were being picked from two groves, of trees, and cows were being milked by hand. Warriors came to confront the Seekachampions but with no sense at all, about them, of hostility. They had flexible metallic armour and carried springdartcarbines equipped with spring-bayonets. The elegantly graceful Deep Elves were actually elfdwarfs as elf dwarf hybrids with other genetic elements thrown into the mix. As elfdwarfs they were more elf than dwarf just as their hybrid cousins were dwarfelfs being more dwarf than elf. Then came forward a hoodrobed figure of a matriarch elder who halted before Sharry0101 with a smile and oddly slanted eyes but not as sharply so as were those of full elves. As she drew back her hood she exposed her pointed ears that were less so than those of an elf would have been. “So you are connected to the appearance of that CdTH at the edges of our complex here that is an outer one of our Complexative.” Sharry0101 shook her head, just a little, in her body armour suit with the helmet visor being transparent. “Greater forces, than myself and my people of the Seekars, were responsible for such taking place. That is Celestial Intervention! There are 10 such CdTHs, of the same exact layout, but we only know the locations of the one that we came from and this one. The other one is in a basement space in Seekahomecity.” The matriarch nodded, just a little, with her silvery grey hair indicating she was centuries old. “There is 'something' Celestial about all of you.” Shimmy0101 spoke. “We are all celestialmortals and what of you, your people?” The other sighed. “We have but a small trace, of the Celestial, in us! We once served the Wiserisengods of the Risengods.” Sharry0101 nodded. “We were once of them, of the Wisengodfolk.” The matriarch lost some of her smile. “She will not be pleased to see you, being one of the 10 gifted Wisendemigods sent on an expedition by the Wisengodfolk. Those Deep Elves were betrayed when expected assistance failed to arrive.” Sharry0101 responded. “Most likely the Wisengodfolk were too busy trying to survive to send any previously promised help. Much, of what happened, remains lost to us but we know there were great troubles.” The matriarch bowed briefly. “I am Serenala Ono'Tasha. The Wisendemigod sleeps, and heals slowly-steadily, in a glowing alcove that materialised years ago due to some kind of foldbacking of timespace. There are 10 alcove-hubs, of the same design and layout, being of Risengodfolk fashion just as those CdTHs would be.” Shimmy0101 spoke, briefly, of the great metaphysical battle that had raged with an amazing range of forces being involved. “It ended with powerful Celestial Intervention and much resolution but not a final resolution for that process continues. We are investigating an investigator who sought to learn more about the story that one of the 10 champions ended up here.”

Post #162 [Two][74.2] [11.2] Teresa was riding a sturdy pony, well suited to going through that kind of environment. “The most important information, given to me by that former holy guard, was that the big, flashy, well guarded chamber was a false one. The real one is far plainer and relies on being very well hidden though it also had forms of protection; there are very troubling whispers about what that last means. Shaztecs, and Zhastecs, know that the Rainbowflash changed matters but most have no more than a vague impression of what had done so. The knowledge, of it, appears to be fading away from the awareness of most.” Sharry0201 was riding another enhanced pony next to the other woman. “When it comes to Celestial interventions into mortal realms, when it comes to how they effect most mortals, that is quite normal a result but you know that, don't you?” Teresa nodded. “I am still getting used to be a celestialmortal and melded with the EverWanderer or at least with an aspect of that one. Timespace refolded, but not neatly so, thanks to the big metaphysical battle and its Rainbowflash aftermath but now it is being resolved, being 'neatened out'.” The robots were 10 robodrones, five hulking robogolems. five slimmer robodroids, 10 robocarts and 10 roboturrets which were already deployed on top of the robocarts; half of them were weapons equipped but the others were service-support units with special manipulator arms. Sharry0201 spoke again. “Problematic is that Doomsworld seems to have become more than just a mortal realm in a fashion that is supposedly improbable if not impossible.” There were saddle-ponies, pack-ponies and five, small, single pony pulled pony-carts. The robocarts could be made to look like pony-carts, complete with ponies, using special holographic projections that even threw accurate shadows. Even as the forward moving robodrones sent back disturbing first reports, the snifferdogs made low warning sounds that something very disturbing was ahead. The convoy began to prepare for the scene, of carnage, ahead. The stink, of death, came to them on a light breeze that before then had only smelled of local plant life.

Post #161 [Two][74.1] [11.1] Teresa, an aspect of the EverWanderer, travelled in a taskforce from Anklelusdeep, the settlement, along with 24 other EverFolk and Seekataskteam0201; the last had with it five Seekachampions, five Seekacompanions and 10 Seekapartners along with 50 Seekaminions. The last element were Seekaxiliaries of 40 enhanced ponies, five big hounds, five snifferdogs and five 4eyesbirds. Of the 10 robodrone type Seekaminions, three went out ahead in as stealthy a fashion as was possible. While two were in reserve another two went out to either side and two followed. All hovershifted fairly close to the ground so as not to give themselves away in the uneven landscape of hillocks, gullies and small ridges. The taskteam passed ancient relics, of advanced warmachines, left over from the Doomswar that took place before the Doomsdays that ended it. They glimmered with odd, disturbing, fields of energy that were linked with what ever superweapon that had destroyed the hulking mechanisms. Amongst the hundreds of hulking robots, and other types of warmachines, were the shapeforms of super power armoured soldiers that also glimmered. There was the tilted banner of the UCAC55, the United Citystates Army Corps Fifty-Five. It was generally believed that the UCC was splintering before the Doomswar began but that it broke into three general factions during it; that is neutral defensive aggressive, those supporting the Darkside Forces and those the Enlightened Forces. About a quarter of the old UCC population went with either faction but what happened to the others remained a mystery, at least to most. What had her do so was somewhat of a puzzle to Sharry0201 but she went forth and managed to gain, and activate, a Minor Wishling that was added to by others doing the same with a Minor Rainbowling. There was a Rainbowflash of energies and the remnants, of the UCAC55, were gone! The Seekachampions knew they had gone to reappear, as machines and supersoldiers, in Seekaoutkeep but would soon become an aspect of the growing, evolving, Seekaforce. The Seekaforce was the Seekapolice, Seekasecurity, Seekaparamilitary and Seekamilitary along with distinctive special sections. The Seekaparamilitary were mainly the Seekaguards but also the new Seekarangers serving only in the Seekawilds. The Seekamilitary was, so far, the new Seekasoldiers. The specials were the Seekascouts and the Seekatroopers that often would serve with any others in the Seekaforce. Then there were the extreme emergency response Seekaresponders of mixed roles. Teresa, before she became mingled with an aspect of the EverWanderer, had spoken to a Shaztec, enslaved by the Eloi, who had spoken of a great Rainbowflash, of energies, that had swept through the great, underground, Shaztec Realm including the supertemplecity of Shazzantacca, the supertemplecitystate of Shazzantaccalla and the Shaztec Sacred Zone; this included others either less known or less spoken of though better known of. There was the Shaztec Sacred Chamber of 13 Divine Entrances to the Labyrinth of Testing, Truths, Troves and Torment. The Shaztec had been a holy warrior priest helping to guard that chamber when a swarm of Eloi led morlocks had attacked. They had been driven off but had taken, with them, captured Shaztecs and Zhastecs. What had driven the Eloilords to carry out such a foolish attack was uncertain; they had suffered heavy losses for the gain of a small number of slaves. The Shaztec Sacred Chamber of 13 Divine Entrances was very heavily guarded and not just by humans but by shadowkind, mummiats and zombies. In front of each, of the entrances, was a hulking spiritual magic animated clockwork steelgolem.

Post #150 [Two][73.2] [10.2] Gavag shook his head. “That is a very surprising bit of information. What happened to the Deepway Elf Expedition is generally a mystery even to most Celestials but so is what happened to that people after they parted ways with the Risengodfolk that they had been with. It was believed, by most, that they went deep down into the underground depths, of NewEarth, or at least one of them.” It had become firmly established that the creation, of the NewEarth, had been problematic and that it had resulted in the appearance of other NewEarths. It was also accepted that at least three, of those NewEarths, had somehow become Doomsworld. Gavag went on. “As you probably know, this address is one of the location that Doctor Stella Annelis Freeman had marked in her Seekahomecity street atlas. It might be easy to start any investigation right here.” Sharry0101 nodded. “Very convenient an idea! Now for door #2.” As if responding to their plans, the contents behind that door was a stack of notebooks focused on that location, on what seemed to be a whole hidden area that Seekars had failed totally to detect. Door #3 opened to 10, adjustable, keyrods of electrum being elegantly beautiful in appearance; they were definitely of Deepway Elfan design and make. Then there were 10 booklets, identical to each other, that had in them key code clues to how to open special doors even with the use of a keyrod. Door #4 opened to the same as #5 but there were small, noticeable, differences between the two types of keyrod. Doors #6 to #10 opened to each reveal another surface with a button in its center. Pushing each one, in turn, led to shimmering effects and the materialisation of sets of five doors in different locations. Those, with the pressing on button #1, appeared, in the previously bare wall, across from that which held the safes. Facing them meant that the two, to the left, were outgoing teleport senders while the two, to the right, were teleport receptors; the one, in the middle, led to service-support equipment and interface consoles. Sharry0101 entered a teleport sender chamber, along with Gavag and three other Seekachampions, to find themselves cable-teleported to a teleport receptor chamber amongst another set of five doors.

Post #159 [Two][73.1] [10.1] In Seekahomecity Seekasecurity now had the double chambers, plus the house and other underground areas, as a demioutpost that they kept secure but that they also worked both in and out from; that was the place where the five desiccated bodies had been found. Wall lockers, after the Rainbowflash, turned out to be full of useful equipment-supplies as normally used by both Seekasecuritors and Seekaagents, but also some other items of usefulness. The 10 wall safes proved to be very resistant to being opened, defying traditional safe cracking methods as well as more advanced technological ones. Seekachampion-Squad0201 had not managed to do so and the reason was that the outer safe doors were bare of any seeming way to open them except for an odd picture-symbol. Sharry0101 managed to have a Minor Clueling activated. With a soft shimmering a 1x1x1 cubic metre cubecanister materialised on the floor. Inside it soon proved to be 10 books, written in Panglish, about the obscure civilisation of the Deepway Elves; they were identical to one another being each a brief, concise, general history including a chapter on the very phonetic picture-symbol language. The Deepway Elves had once been close allies of some of the Risengodfolk Factions but most of all to the Wiserisengodfolk of the Seekachampions' past. Then there were 10, identical, scrolls that were in sealed tubes; they each had the Epic Poems of the Deepway Elf Explorers' Expedition to the Center of the NewEarth. Then there were 10 disks that each on it one of the picture-symbols as shown on the 10 wall safe doors. Yet Sharry0101 had a 'hunch' that the disks had to be used in a special way when it came to opening the wall safes up. So it was that she read through one book and one scroll, absorbing all the information with amazing speed and efficiency. Then Sharry0101 meditated in a way of quiet contemplation of that newly acquired knowledge. The picture-symbols represented the 10 Deepway Elf explorers that had commanded the expeditionary taskforce as one primary, two high, three medium and for low elder-leaders; that is both on the wall safe doors and the disks. Gavag materialised, as a celestialmortal, and spoke in Panglish. “I thought that you might need my assistance.” Sharry0101 smiled. “That could well be the sake. I need to take the disk, with the picture-symbol of the primary elder-leader's partner and push it against door #1.” The disk, that she chose, had the same picture-symbol on it as did door #5. She explained that, being five females and five males, that each of the 10 was partnered with a member of the opposite sex. One found the disk, showing a partner, to push that against the door showing the other partner. Door #1 opened, sliding upwards into a hidden recess. Out of it she took a street atlas book of Seekahomecity but it was only one of 10 stacked neatly inside the chamber; they were standard except each had notes written down in the notes section but also in page margins. Map locations were marked as in being reference linked to relevant notes. The printed copies had integrated the notes, the marked maps and also some odd doodles opportunistically placed in some empty spaces. The books also had the same title and name of Doctor Stella Annelis Freeman being just inside the front cover of each text. Sharry0101 flickered through the book, that she held, and then spoke. “Doctor Stella Annelis Freeman was researching a report that a secondary elder-leader, from the expedition, came to live here in Seekahomecity shortly after it officially went from being Seekahometown to Seekahomecity.”

Post #158 [Two][72.1] [9.1] The Seekahomecentre Lobby Chamber was a large, impressive space with fine quality fittings, furnishings, decorative touches and enclosed displays. Display cases dotted the floor space and were in wall alcoves, sometimes filling big ones. The Seekaparents were with a select number of permayoungs and other companions including Shazzie plus Bighappyhuggy whom she was caring for. A dragonbird was seen flying through the air in a highly secured display bubble hanging from the ceiling above as was a Spitfire aeroplane from OldEarth's World War Two but in its own bubble. They passed a much smaller model of a massive megaexcavator that were known to trundle over the Great Regenerative Plains ever drawing up regenerating resources. A deadly Zocyborg zocyborgman model stood in a display box with its 2handcannon that it held with its upper two arms of four. The lower two hands held each a spikeshield that could project a force screen or fire off a blastpulse from its spike. A children's tricycle had a mannedroid, an accurately looking human android of basic nature, riding it while wearing flowery patterned overalls; the little boy looked very happy as he pedalled madly but somehow remained in the same place. A hovercar sedan was held in the air by transparent struts as it was, in theory, held up by its electrofanjets. It was a standard kind of vehicle that had been used in the UCC for centuries with its autodriver, safety and other special functions. They came upon an amazing holographic display, in a large alcove box, of all of the permayoungs, Seekaparents and others who dwelt in Seekahome. Everybody was awake, alert, well behaved, well dressed, happy and otherwise not so realistic. It was a group shot with everybody facing the front as they were intermingled lightly together. According to the explanation, written out below the display, they were all to be considered special status guests, to Seekacentre, in future. This included privileges of no entrance fees, a free giftbag with every visit, a 50% discount on many items for sale, access to a special Seekacarecentre of a Seekasubcentre, and ones yet to arise. A CentresHelperManif came to them as a well dressed, lightly immodest, professional woman with silvery skin, hair and part of her eyes; she wore a black minidress, highheel shoes and silken gloves. She stopped and smiled warmly at the visitors. “Welcome to the Seekacentre, special guests! We hope that you enjoy the holographics and should know that it will, from now on, show up only in the Seekacarecentre for the sake of privacy. I am CentresHelperManif CentresSarisaris. Given the makeup, of your group, I suggest that we go to Seekacarecentre. Please follow me.” The rest, of the visit, was spent in the Seekacarecentre where the permayoungs, there, enjoyed themselves but so did everybody else. There were games for all mindwise ages, dispensers of free snacks plus drinks, a copy of the big alcove with its holographic display, books of which many were picture ones and so much else to do. There was a subtle educational element, to so much of it, that this pleased the Seekaparents.

Post #157 [Two][72.1] [8.1] Seekamind held a mindwise meeting with Seekaprimesteam0000. Seekamind: “Much was resolved, thanks to the great metaphysical clash that took place deep in Doomscore itself, but more so a greater resolving process has been instigated that is still unfolding. Billions, of trapped soul entities, were freed from entrapment and are now in Sanctumary as a great transmultidimensional realm; millions are in Safeumary as they need more care and now there is Careumary of deeply confidential nature.” Seekaprimes as one: “Unfolding as in transformation!?” Seekamind: “Yes as in continued improvement of stability, increasing accessibility to areas and a few changes going forward from the past along with much else that needs to be more fully comprehended.” Seekaprimes as one: “Understood and acknowledged!”

Post #156 [Two][71.2] [7.2] Sharry0101 made a gesture, as linked strongly to the Seekagoddess, and now the painting made sounds even as it sped up to be like a video recording in its pace. It soon became clear that the supposed Seekacult, in Seekahomecity, had been a group of young petty criminals who thought it would be clever to make up the cult. It started again with the young men, drunken and foolish in their behaviour, daring to copy the pentagram onto the floor. They used their own blood which none would do if they had any real knowledge, and experience, with such matters. The pentagram also had mistakes in its making so would not have properly bound any summoned entity anyway, even of the weakest sort; what they had, seemingly, summoned was a both a very malignant and powerful one. There were 10 wall safes being a top, and bottom, horizontal row each of five of them. Working that chamber, and the first one above it, only really began at that time. When the five awoke they were greatly changed, for the better, having paid for their petty crimes and even the darker one of keeping the shadowshards; they had accidentally found both them, and the tome, when burgling a small, isolated, house on the outskirts of Seekahometown. When the burglars had detected somebody returning home, they had fled the scene. The Seekachampions had a Seekasecurity Taskteam go to the burgled house but it was no surprise that it had been stripped of anything relevant, to any investigation, and then abandoned. The departed had taken, with them, many items; that is valuables, personal ones that could help identify them, perhaps more exotic ones; this was discovered through obvious gaps on walls, an emptied floor safe and other such forensic details. The only DNA samples found would turn out to be those of visitors or of animals meaning that those dwelling there had somehow managed not to leave any such traces behind them; the same was true of fingerprints. Or so it appeared to be until loose floorboards were found to conceal a hidden cache of a half drunk bottle of cheap wine, two glossy pornographic magazines, some semilegal herbal cigarettes wrapped in cloth, coinage of creditlars being mostly copperlars, a business card wallet and a small, tight banded, roll of pamphlets. It was at first a problematic breakthrough but it would, in the longer term, lead to some very fruitful discoveries but also disturbing ones. As for the five, former petty criminals, they would become top quality Seekaagents.
-
Post #155 [Two][71.1] [7.1] In Seekahomecity there were still ongoing investigations in the matter of the crazed mob, the insane leader and his shadowshard tipped, shadowsteel, staff. Seekasecurity Seekaagents, who worked undercover unlike Seekasecuritors, found a hidden cache in a deeper basement level. There were stolen ration-packs, hand-tools, fuel powderbricks, medications and a few other items of value including some creditlars of mostly silverlars. In the same, big, wall safe they found 15 shadowshards wrapped in treated cloth and then placed in lead lined, steel, lockboxes. The very last was an amazing but disturbing find. A Seekachampion-taskteam got there ass fast as they could and used hihitech devices to examine the basement; Seekaagents had already carried out more standard forensics on that space. The secret door had not been discovered by the Seekaagents but Shanda both found and opened it. 10 Seekachampions moved down a crudely lasered tunnel and then found a chamber of horrors. Five, desiccated, corpses lay sprawled across the floor that had been fed of blood, water and liquefied flesh. They were dressed in the hoodrobes of the twisted Seekacult. Seekacultists believed that imprisoned somewhere were the real Seekagoddessgods and that the current Seekalords were part of a conspiracy against them; thus they were the enemies of the Seekacult. They were considered, by the great number of people, to be a tiny minority of crackpots and that was generally true. Yet, beneath their robes they wore the type of gear typical of petty criminals. On the floor was an elaborate pentagon, drawn in blood, with strange symbols and on the floor, close to one of the distorted bodies, a large book with a human leather cover. It lay as if it had been dropped. There was a flash, of rainbow energies, and then the five were alive but sleeping deeply. The lower chamber was more structurally sound than it had been, had improved walls and other surfaces. It had been dotted with rubbish, with broken pieces of furniture, but was now fitted, furnished and even decorated. There were tables, chairs, wall lockers, a wardrobe, a child's wooden rocking horse, a kitchenette and two doors marked 'toilet' and 'showerbath' in turn along with other items. There were nine more copies, neatly placed in a bookcase that was against a wall, and below that 100 clean, edited, formalised copies of it; there were also 10, small, datacubes but on top of the bookcase. There were also 100 other type items, being 10 sets each of 10 identical ones, but these were in a compartmentalised bookcase. Out of character, on one wall, was a grim oil painting in a wooden frame. It showed a deathly pale, distorted, figure in a grimy, blood stained, hoodrobe who was confronting five, frightened, young men in stylish hoodrobes. It was standing in the center of the pentagram and they outside it. The character could have been a male of the Seekachampions except for the distorting effects of damage done, of filth and malignant hatred showing in an extreme grimace. With a surprise, for the Seekaagents, the painting was revealed to be an animated loop ever changing in a slow-steady fashion.

Post #154 [Two][70.1] [6.1] Doomsgamegod #3 of 13 On High spoke. “So the fangiftbox came with poisoned coffee in self heating cupcans that were easily detected by the Seekaplayers. The easily decoded message, hidden in the poem on the tea-towel, was both a threat and a warning. Our question is how did such items get past our supposedly top rate security system?” Doomsgamegod #11 of 13 on High bowed briefly from where he sat onin his own special chair. “Investigations have so far led nowhere except that the gift-box did not go through official networks to reach its destination. An investigation team suspects that an intrusive remoterobot was used being a very small, stealth designed, one. Tracks have been found that no official game device made. 3Dcamera recordings caught what looked to be a small tracked-turret. At the time match supervisors believed it was one of the teething glitches that the arenas having been suffering from.” Doomsgamegod #1 of 13 was on a slightly higher level than the others as was traditional. “A rogue faction may be attempting to sabotage arena-games. We will send a report to the Doomsworldgamegods as we do not to risk more trouble with them considering what happened last time. Another report will go to High Central Seekacommand.” Doomsgamegod #13 of 13 On High asked, as was that one's role, a hopefully pertinent question. “What of the news media, academia and others who might be interested?” Doomsgamegod #1 of 13 On High: “We get clearance, from the Doomsworldgamegods, and have briefings ready to send to all officially listed recipients. Then we wait to see what happens next except for our own, ongoing, investigations that will now go beyond the one taking place in that one games-arena.” All there bowed in show of accepting the decision.

Post #153 [Two][69.1] [5.1] Seekaplayerteam01, of 20 Seekaplayers, spread out as they ran across a clearing towards another shelter-barrier that was both an obstacle and that offered some sheltering against enemy attacks. It was a training-testing mission, as in the very first one undertaken by Seekaplayers. They wore PAASTs and carried either triplecarbines or hoopballguns, most having the former rather than the latter. 15 Seekaplayers were enhumans, highly enhanced humans, while five were sophisticated simuladroid androids. Enemies were third party ones with out there being an opposing playerteam. Pop-up turrets had done just that, hurling rocket-bullets at the Seekaplayers or even advanced rocket-grenades. Spotting turrets would be attempting to 'mark' them and soon mortar shells would coming in, over, the shelter-barrier. There were also attack-drones, high hovering turret-drones, rail-turrets, remotedroids, landmines and more; amongst those listed ones were surprises yet to be uncovered. They kept moving until they came upon a resupplying dispenser where they topped up their ammo so as to leave the reserves untouched. That small area was a safe zone but in a timed manner as in the loss of points after a deadline was met. The arena audience filled about 50% of its capacity but heavily regulated, low key, gambling was very active. Jhanda, a male Seekaplayer, fired off a hoopballgun at a vertical grey hoop. The grey ones were biggest, the copper smaller, the silver even smaller and the smallest were the golden ones as possible scores increased as the size decreased but also with the colour changes. The grey hoopball shot through the hoop, scoring this time 40 points plus a high bonus of 30 making it 70. A bonus could be one, two, three or none. The hoopball survived, as the one, so could be retrieved by any team player. Jhessy fired a pulselaser pulsebeam and struck a silver laser target, targets having the same range of colours and sizes, as the hoops did; the scores were relatively lower because laser targets were relatively easy to strike with lasers. The score was three plus a bonus of one being four. The target went blank and would not become active again until after 10 minutes had passed. They came upon a fan prize location and were surprised to find there a 20x20x20 cubic centimetre fangiftbox. Inside were 20 self heating cupcans of coffee, a collectable figurine set of three Seekaplayers in PAASTs but with out the helmets, a pointscard worth 100 points and a tea-towel; on the tea-towel was an odd poem of support and mild adoration along with the Seekaplayers' symbol. The coffee was put away for the next official break and everything was transshifted into Seekainventory which could not be accessed during a game. More shooting, dodging, running followed along with launching hoopballs through ballhoops, lasering laser targets, blasting hard targets in various ways and triggering off traps before they were reached. Different types of remoteturrets kept attacking along with remotedrones and even remotedroids. They came out of the training-testing mission that trained them and which gave test results to be used by a few with official access to them along with, perhaps, some others.

Post #152 [Two][68.2] [4.2] With a soft shimmering, Shazzie materialised along with Bighappyhuggy the fleshgolem. Shazzie smiled serenely and spoke. “Our group have materialised in Newhopecity along with us two but we two are also here because we missed being here though in a way we never have been. I am now a celestialmortal as you are but not as experienced, or as powerful, or as skilled as you and the Seekachampions are.” Shimmy smiled. “You are welcome. Unofficially we are Seekaparents. We could adopt both you and Bighappyhuggy to be your mums and dads.” Bighappyhuggy yawned and then nodded. “Very good good good idea! Lots of mums, and dads, to fuss over us. Me is a special fleshgolem made by tricky genius inventing man named Cornelius Percollius who made me to be a special, friendly, companion who was bad Princess Shazzantie but who is now good Shazzie. Even back as a princess, Shazzie was her informal name and she did treat me okay but later she became very nice to me.” Shazzie smiled up at the Bighappyhuggy. “You, big sweetie, helped me get nicer. Now you go and sleep with LittleChestManif while I have a talk with Sharry and Shimmy.” Bighappyhuggy burped and a very small jet of rainbow energies shot out of his mouth. He sighed and patted his belly. “The small Rainbowbaby is stirring in my belly. Her name is Tinzie but there are others with her but they have no names yet.” The fleshgolem was left to go off to where he lay against LittleChestManif but also on a sloping stack of cushions as provided by the LittleCelestialManif. Shazzie spoke, after she sat on the damage resistant carpeted floor, there were more than one Shazzantacca; two became Newhopecity but three have become an even bigger, in some ways stranger, version of Shazzantacca. It is now a supertemplecity. Shadowadis is worshipped there but so are the Shazgods as being part of the Shazgodfolk. The Burning Black Smoke Flame is fuelled by Shadowadis' avatar of Shazzasha instead of captive entities as it once was. Shadamaligna is whispered of but is officially non existent so the whispering is very quiet. There is Shaztec Quadaddom of Priestdom, Kingdom, Queendom and Elitesdom but also, outside of those, the Commondom including Shazmilitias, Shazguilds and others arising. That is because the Shazgods are pushing a large scale reformation agenda that has been generally successful with some compromises given into. Some say that the real names, of the Shazgodfolk, are the Hardrisengodfolk, the Sharprisengodfolk and Smartrisenfolk; there may be at least one more whose name is unknown to me.” Shimmy sighed. “All those three Risengodfolk Factions are known to us and all of them bode no good at all with the Risengods being worse, in general, than the rest of the Risengodfolk who are Risengodfollowers, Risengodservers and Risengodminions. Cornelius Percollius was an associate of Caroline Murphy who confronted us at the CDH, the Centre of Doomsworld History.” So it was that Shazzie learned about the CDH, its surprise appearance and then the its quick vanishing away. Then the Seekacentre had appeared but had, after a short time, vanished away but emerged again. Shimmy spoke. “Now Seekacentre is at the edge of Seekahomebase but is now known as Seekahomecentre for there will be, in future, more than one Seekacentre. Only the Lobby Chamber is open, and five subcentres being a museum-gallery, SVR facility, a research-reference library-study, an amusement arcade and a fitness facility. There are service-support networks and other features there just to keep the centre functioning.” Shazzie went off to sleep next to Bighappyhuggy and against LittleChestManif. The two Seekaparents were soon asleep being bundled up with young Permayoungs.

Post #151 [Two][68.1] [4.1] Sharry, who was of no number, burped a permababy named Shandy and then a baby named Charles. The former Seekachampions, in Seekahome, had no designations anymore but the informal ones of parents. “Gavag, Chancecis, Marriet and the others found with them in that other Anklelusdeep were returned from death. This time, around, they were not found in Anklelusdeep, either dead or alive. I wonder if we will meet them again and, if yes, what they will be like.” Shimmy responded, being dressed in the same kind of jumpsuit as Sharry was. Each was individualistic in its friendly warmth of colours and patterns. “All we can do is put aside previously established data and compare it with what has arisen since the fold back transformation took place.” Shimmy had a sleeping trimorpher wolfdog, wolf-dog hybrid, sleeping up against her and against him another one being female. He was K9herois and she was his sister being K8braveis. As trimorphers they could be more human like wolfdogmans, squatter wolfdognoids, or enhanced wolfdogs in shapeform; yet they could also become far more human thought that was not part of their 'trimorpher' identity. Being returned, from death, had given all 13 Treasury Vaults guarding creatures that and other added abilities. They were K9guards along with the rest of the K913. There were K1 to K9 as the lowest nine of 13. Above them, in the pyramid hierarchy, were three as K10 to K12. At the very top was K13. The higher they were, in level, the bigger the individuals were and so easily the largest was K13champis. Except their background story had changed as this time, around, they had been found in the Seekavaults' Treasury Subvaults as they now were. They had been found alive, and well, in a very large communal area where Seekaservonet served their needs, and a few wants, including exercise space. Sharry frowned softly. “We did not find Shazzie, or the other humans who had been with her or any of the Folkies or other animals or even the fleshgolem Bighappyhuggy; that is in the Seekavaults. Perhaps our people will find them in the current version of the underground Shaztec Zone. Nor have they been found in Newhopecitystate. Decisions have been made and surely celestial forces have been involved as Truecelestial ones or even, of them, Primecelestial ones.” The Folkies had been the four furkkies and two, bigger, furbbies while the other animals had been two cave ponies plus two, large, packdogs. There had been the single fleshgolem and six Shaztec humans including Shazzie. Striperra, Catsipaw and Babyrobotsi had ended up in Seekahome along with big housecat named Puddytat, a white hound dog named Rovertat and a fairly big parrot named Parrotytat; all were mostly white. The cyborg baby, Babyrobotsi, was snoozing inside his robotic unit but was very close to Shenny who was keeping an eye on other sleeping Permayoungs along with more children, pets and even others. A LittleChestManif lay at the back of Sharry with a flat tray arrangement on top; on this was a comfy mattress, surrounded by a safety tail, on which slept some permainfants. The troubled-troublesome five were far less so, now, and also far more at harmony with themselves and others around them. They were sleeping with three K9guards, Catsipaw and the three Tattytats; that is the white housecat, parrot and hound. A couple of sophisticated simuladroid, type androids, were assisting in the picking up, and putting away, of items and in cleaning. Seekacarers were there, being assisted, as were a couple of informally named Seekaparents. A permatween went off to use a toilet cubicle and soon more were following as if the 'need to do so' had arisen at the same time.

Post #150 [Two][68.1] [3.1] A mindwise meeting took place with Seekamind, and Seekaprimeteam00 as an semiautonomous aspect of Seekamind, in mindspace. Seekamind: “Iself have news to pass onto you. New transmultidimensional realms have been created being Sanctumary, Safeumary, Smartumary, Gaiaumary, Hubutary and Gamesutary.” Seekaprimeteam00 as one: “Understood and acknowledged.” “Sanctumary is a main sanctuary for multiple lifeforms having escaped from Doomsworld.” Seekaprimeteam00 as one: “Understood and acknowledged.” “Safeumary is an intensive care sanctuary being inside Sanctumary.” Seekaprimeteam00 as one: “Understood and acknowledged.” “Gaiaumary is a nature sanctuary linked closely to, but separate from, Sanctumary.” Seekaprimeteam00 as one: “Understood and acknowledged.” “Hubutary is a hub for all Doomsgameteams to have hubbases at, to gain information, to be part of mediation sessions and much else.” Seekaprimeteam00 as one: “Understood and acknowledged.” “Gamesutary is where Doomsgameteams are sent as gamers to take part in Doomsgames of SVR, Super Virtual Reality, Gamesets or in 3DFFGs, 3D Face Front Games.” Seekaprimeteam00 as one: “Understood and acknowledged.” Seekamind: “Other realms, of the kind, will be arising in future.” Seekaprimeteam00 as one: “Understood and acknowledged.” Seekamind: “All such realms will be embedded in the transmultidimensional Doomssphere that is linked to Doomsworld: that inside is also found the transmultidimensional vessel the Seekar within which are found Seekahomeverse of a growing number of Seekarealms of sometimes changing nature and-or designations.” Seekaprimeteam00 as one: “Understood and acknowledged.” Seekamind: “It is now confirmed that the Doomsworldgods, the LittleCelestialPrimes and other, to be identified, Truecelestial Entities, are based in Doomssphere. It is also confirmed that many Fallen Celestials are based in the Doomsshadow.” Seekaprimeteam00 as one: “Understood and acknowledged.” The mindwise meeting continued!

Post #149 [Two][67.3][2.3] Security clearance signals came through, authenticating the arrival of the real LittleChestManif, and it materialised. He spoke even as he materialised. “The LittleCelestialPrime has sent a warning that a fake me might come offering to give you a useful up-down tower but it will be a bomb.” Teresa gave the chest entity a kiss. “Thank you but it came and then we sent it away along with its bomb. LittleAnticelestialFaker tried to trick us through the use of one of its manifestations. Now, sweetie, do you have anything for we EverBlessed to use that will be safe and helpful?” A real up-down tower base was placed in a best position for safe, effective, use and then projected upwards into the air but also down through the ground in a fashion that hurt nobody. Except that an armamolerat came up, out of the ground, and gave the EverFolk a lecture, of sorts, about 'frightening' underground folk who were just minding their own business when... The armamolerat ended up sleeping, all curled up, in Teresa's lap as she sat on top of the LittleChestManif. The flexible armour plated mammal had had its fill of waterjellies, foodbars and being otherwise fussed over. Teresa spoke. “I would like you to come with me, LittleChestManif, to below with my expeditionary group who will be projected so as to be stronger and more secure than they were. With us will be some reformed Eloi, and morlocks, who will guide us through the underground areas that they know of. With us will be Seekachampionteam02. Now that Seekavaults are inside Seekahomeworld, are part of the Seekaunderlands, since the back folding changes to history, there are other Sacred Vaults to be once more located, explored and inventoried.” A Seekatranscube, out from Seekatranspost03, arrived with a shimmering materialisation. It looked like a cube of a dull grey metallic colourisation; it was, externally, a 3x3x3 cubic metre shape. Based in Seekatranspost01 was Seekachampionteam03. Any Seekachampionteam was now made up of 15 Primes superhumans as in super enhanced humans. The Seekacompanions were 15 enhumans as in standard enhanced humans. There were Seekapartners of 30 androids being very human like simuladroids. Yet others would be chosen, in future, as Seekaxiliaries or specialised Seekar Auxiliaries of such as human like replidroid androids, trimorphers and others. Then there were multiple type, to be designated at need, Seekaminions. They were more basic type duplidroid androids, chunky robodroids, hulking robogolems, robocarts, robohorses, robohovers, robohoverers, robodrones, robomecha and of others. Then there were the secretive, hidden, others. There materialised outside, of the Seekatranscube, Seekachampionsquad0201 being five Seekachampions, five Seekacompanions and 10 Seekapartners. There were no Seekaxiliaries or Seekaminions with them there being none yet of the former, to choose from; nor had any been designated, to the squad, of the latter. So, for now the squad had only 20 members in it. Or so it was visibly for there were, with them, three Seekaphasers who were not openly visible and neither was the ever presence of Seekamind. Sharry0201 gave LittleChestManif a kiss before talking with him and the two EverFolk.

Post #148 [Two][67.2][2.2] The fighting ceased, the small Purity Army starting to withdraw peaceful with the defenders allowing them to do so. The attackers had come expecting much less resistance and would soon be returning to a cleverly hidden Puritycult Stronghold known as PurityDeseslia after one of the living Purityrisengods who still might, or might not, exist. They had come without any large siege equipment or the means to construct it or powerful artillery or anything else of the sort. They had mostly survived with surprisingly few deaths having taken place amongst their number. Teresa spoke. “The university city, of Centropia, being just south-east of the massive Centropolis, sent the expeditionary taskforce to investigate whispers of another way to get to Shazzantacca that was not even close to Anklelusdeep let alone through it. Despite a large contingent of elite Strongborne Mercenaries, we were decimated in a great, dimly lit, supercavern by white furred, nocturnal, creatures known as morlocks as led by psychic gifted near human variants known as the Eloi of Antarrus. There were big morlocks each with two arms, bigger ones each with four arms and even bigger ones with six arms that must all have had enhanced brain capacity to deal with those extra limbs. The bigger the type, the less numerous they were, the smaller the faster but also weaker; its a pattern often found amongst genetically engineered entities as created by the Risengods.” Augustus shook his head. “The hedonistic Eloi immortals were supposed to have been destroyed a very long time ago, on one of the OldEarths, when their morlock, human and other slaves rebelled against them including Eloi rejects who had no psychic abilities of any measured value except that was not the truth. Antarrus was the last remnant of a once mighty, but flawed, civilisation known as the Antarrus Collectivity. This may be another 'anomaly' of the kind found only too commonly onin Doomsworld.” Now there were reformed Eloi, morlocks along with former slaves of Shaztecs, Zhastecs, Doomslanders from the surface and hybrid Eloi, amongst others, that had been transshifted to Seekaoutkeep's SQZ or Secured Quarantine Zone; they would not stay there very long before ending up in the Seekaoutkeep's PIZ, Probationary Immigration Zone. An exception was the Strongborne Mercenaries who were in the process of returning to the Strongborne Mercenary Cooperative homebased in the city of Metroburg. The SMC had outbases in Centropia, Cratertropolis and Tradetopiacity. The EverEnforcer was one of those, who together, were the only contractors of the SMC. An avatar of the LittleCelestialChest, as new terms had emerged, came forward as a LittleChestManif. He bustled over and squatted down closer to the two EverFolk. The EverWanderer bent over and rubbed his rounded top and he quivered slightly with pleasure. The LittleChestManif spoke, with a slightly woody voice. “The LittleCelestialArtisan sends you this gift that will help you detect energies of a wide range of sorts.” From the LittleCelestialManif sprang a materialisation beam, of energy, and where it struck the ground appeared a wide disk shape. The LittleChestManif spoke again. “It becomes a balancing tower both above and below the ground. It will be up to you to find a good place to activate it. Somewhere below the apex of the dome should be best.” The two EverFolk smiled before the EverEnforcer pointed an odd silvery rod at the LittleChestManif and the EverWanderer did the same at the disk. Energy pulses shot out from both rods. The fake LittleChestManif shuddered and became a dull, grey, oblong shape as the a LittleFakerManif and the disk revealed itself to be a powerful bomb. Then both were forcefully dematerialised and sent elsewhere.

Post #147 [Two][67.1][2.1] Had there been a changed restart to much of Doomsworld History? Anklelusdeep was a settlement of the Hardblood Survivalist Clan being a Craterhold of a heavily fortified town. It warriors were renowned for their great fighting abilities and physical fitness but so were others of them. It was said that they did not willingly harm any others but would do so, with great skill, if that was necessary. Now it was necessary as their springboltguns, a bigger cousin to their springdartguns, hurled powerful metal bolts at the enemy with electric motors humming to draw back the springs after each shot was fired. In the enclosed battlements, and in wall gunports, they operated along with cannons, rocket-grenade launchers, mortals and machineguns. Puritycultists were laying siege to the ringwall designed to deflect away solid projectiles with its vertical sloping and horizontal the same. Purityfighters, of all sorts, were not having a good time of it as it turned out that they had badly estimated the Hardbloods. Even their magepriests were finding it hard to find solutions to getting even close to the walls. They grouped, to focus energies, and hurled spiritual magic energies at the ringwall only for those energies to be reflected away by the efforts of specialised countermages. The dome, now opaque from the outside, shivered as it was struck by shells, and other projectiles, but it easily held against the onslaught. An aspect, of the EverEnforcer, stood as a long hoodrobed figure bearing the identity of Stephan Augustus. He had organised the restructuring, of the Hardblood Clan, after a bloody purge of its malignant members, and a great expansion of its resources; that including more than those of military nature. Anklelusdeep had expanded from being a small, lightly fortified, village to a large, heavily fortified, town with much of the protection being hidden. A flesh-aspect, of the EverWanderer, stood there as a civil fatigues wearing Teresa Farrent Ravensong being an explorer, historian and archaeologist amongst other classifications. The real person had been dying when an aspect, of the EverWanderer, had found her and the two had willingly 'merged together as one'. Celestial Mandate-Protocols had not only allowed this to happen but through such Middle Celestials had brought back others from near death and even death itself. It helped that the attempted massacre had taken place only just over three, local, hours before. Ravensong spoke as the two examined the stubby black, shadowstone made, base of a tower that had once been much taller. Anklelusdeep had been a borderpost of the dreaded Shaztec Empire but it had been over 2,200 local years since that empire had collapsed after being reduced, in size and power, in a sequence of disasters for it. “There are many, well learned, Sages who believe that the Shaztec Templecity of Shazzantacca exists deep below this surface-subsurface area being at the center of a much diminished version of the Shaztec Empire; the Zhastecs certainly believe so and long to free any of their people still being enslaved by Shaztecs.” 'Subsurface', in this case, meant not so deeply underground as in such as cave-systems closer to the surface or even underground bunkers. Stephan shook his head, just a little. “Shazzantacca still survives as does what is now the Shaztec Quadaddom but the situation is more complicated than that simplistic vision. The Puritycultist fools do believe in the concept and came to destroy the templecity in the name of the Holy Purifying Flame. This one Purity Army would be destroyed if it tried to seek the Shaztec Quadaddom of Priestdom, Kingdom, Queendom and Elitesdom; the consequences would have led to great regional troubles though Iself do not know what those would be, at least not yet.”

Post #146 [Two][66.2][1.2] The Seekachampions helped the former mobbers as did Seekaresponders of police and medical services. The dead man's body was found to be covered with strange red sores caused by being too close to an unshielded shadowshards. It was easy to discover that the man had been dying, his body slowly-steadily breaking down for the same reason. Any evidence, to do with the make of the staff at its top, had been destroyed when the shadowshard had exploded. Goldstar Lieutenant Shimmy0103 spoke. “The way that shadowshard suddenly exploded seemed overly convenient to be accidental; it killed the man so he could not be questioned and destroyed any evidence of importance with the staff. Or did it? The metal is shadowsteel as produced by the Shaztecs, the Shadowcult and a few more than that. Its very hard to make, needs exotically rare resources to do so, and there might be stockpiles left in former Shaztec Imperial Territories.” Sharry0101 picked up the staff, it had been examined for fingerprints and other evidence, and noted the artisan symbols. “Shaztec hieroglyphics, jaggedly done as usual, of the elite Metallurgical Order and of the Metalworkers Order that served them as an echelon. Of excellent production value and worth a small fortune in goldlars or at least in Shaztec gold-bones.” Of the Seekar Currency there were rare platinumlars, less common goldlars, common silverlars and very common copperlars; they came in the form of metallic coins and flat, rectangular, metallic cards. The Risengods had introduced those extremely hard to forge cards, and coins, as in forgery. The Seekachampionteam departed, with its Seekacompanions, and returned to Seekahomebase but only after buying goodies from a local market. From stalls they paid for food, toys, books, hats and a few other items. It was partly because of official policy that they did so as they put money into the local economy and helped prop up local employment along with small business. They stopped at a Order Compassionate Post to pass over a donation of 20 goldlars, 200 silverlars and 200 copperlars as cards-coins. Despite best efforts, the Seekastate found it difficult to keep all fed, housed, and otherwise cared for; this was partly because the situation had started out as not so great and because of the constant trickle of refugees that arrived in the Seekahomeworld. The Order Compassionate, of the Orderhood, was of great help and the Seekars assisted them to do their best. High above sparkled, a little in places, the citydome that covered Seekahomecity. Another was being constructed as the metropolis was planned to expand.
-
Post #145 [Two][66.1][1.1] Much had changed while much had not but there were also levels, of transformation, that had taken place! Sharry0101, as Goldstar Captain of SeekachampionteamA0101, rode a robohorse (robotic horse) along the winding, narrow, laneways of the Seekahomecity of Seekacapitalla. Mannoids we common, as guided demicitizens just as there were subcitizens that needed to be protected. Humans were there, also, along with a variation of Humanics to which, as a classification, humans belonged. Robohorses were normally leased, from the Seekastate, under legal stewardship of special contracts except that Seekaservers had direct stewardship of advanced robots under their care. The Seekachampions wore PAASTs of slim Power Assisted Armour Suits and on their backs were lightly armoured, vertically oblong, solidstate backboxes. They were aware of the different technological levels in the metropolis with lotech being about as common as midtech but hitech being far less, in quantity, than both of those combined. The Seekachampions were clearly endowed with much hihitech. While the great majority accepted that this was necessary, a small minority did not. An android pedalled a five wheeled quincycle past her and the other Seekachampions with her, having a single front wheel jutting out from the front of the pedalcraft. In the back where some excited, excitable, mannoids most likely in from the countryside; with their own crafted tradegoods, and copperlar coins, they were looked after by the Seekakeeper who rode with them. They would return home after gaining some nice goodies but also after enjoying entertainments aimed at them as customers. The 15 Seekachampions lightly chucked some small items at the mannoids who happily caught the gifts; there were useful devices and consumables along with some trinkets that pleased the receivers of the gifts. In return some leaf wrapped foodparcels, small crafted goods and running water polished stones, were gifted back. Mannoids had their sense of pride and so were glad to bee seen as productive and as not dependent on handouts though they were contented to gain items, of more value, than they gave in return; to do so was just common sense acknowledgement of their limitations versus those of the Seekars. Five women, five men and five female neuters rode robohorses while backing them up were five simuladroids also riding robohorses, five robogolems striding along and five robodrones hoverflying through. The laneway ended and the 30 units spread out into a big courtyard with the robodrones lifting higher so they got a better view of the area and improved targeting. The shooting, of stunpulseguns, began at once! Humans, in the mob, began to collapse and yet they did not run, or lie down, so as to escape; instead, with bizarre rage, they raced at the Seekachampions and their Seekacompanions. The tall, angular, man stood holding up the smooth, black, metallic staff with the pulsating red streaked, black, gem at its tip. He wore a hoodrobe of black satin, both expensive and fancy but not practical. His skin was pasty and dotted with small, red, sores but he was very much a mortal human. His face was a grinning grimace of hatred. Then the gem exploded and he died, was dead as he struck the ground. The mob stopped running, attacking, and looked around in a daze as if not knowing where they were, what they had been doing or how they had come to be there. Sharry0101 frowned. “A Shadowshard as misused by those who definitely have little knowledge of such matters. It is supposedly impossible for anybody, anything, to get past the Seekahomeworld Barriers especially now that they have been greatly strengthened so it is unlikely that the Shadowshard came from there.”
-
Post #144 [One][65.1] A great metaphysical battle raged between all of the Risengods, returned, and the 'darkness' that they had supposedly expelled from themselves. They were not alone as there were EverGods, Dragongods, Sciencegods, the Gods of Atheism, and others emerging into prominence. The battle was not to destroy, or dominate, the swirling bitter darkness but to bring it to a standstill, to stop it from attacking, to create a positive marker so that the Goddessgods could intervene; that is to do so both more carefully and effectively while being allowed to do so by the Celestial Mandate-Protocols. As existence, itself, was manipulated there in the Doomscore, of the Doomsworld, truths revealed themselves; there had been multiple OldEarths had had been vaporised to become the Vaporisation Zone as analysed by the EverInvestigator. It was from the vaporisation zone that more than one NewEarth had sprung with one being at 'center' of those NewEarths that then became the Doomsworld; or was it just one NewEarth that had done so but three? Doomsworldgods came to assist the battle to subdue the DoomsShadow; that is three Doomsworldgodmonos through which flowed energies from the two Doomsgodsduo but also, through them, from the single Doomsworldgodtri. Then came Retwir of most mysterious nature both created by, and creator of, the whole process that had gone from OldEarths to NewEarths and then the Doomsworld. Then Rhortau and Roedit. Yet it was Retwir that cried out 'Yedeshcralendeshinbralleshin-Batacrallisin-Crydoshincrandalishshinda-sutasutama!” Those 'words' swept out and were enhanced, amplified, by all there apart from the DoomsShadow embedded deeply within the supernatural Doomscore; that being at center of the natural geographical Doomsworldcore. It was a proclamation of sorrow, apology, guilt, repentance and a great desire to more than just make amends but to call upon the Goddessgods themselves to directly intervene to bring Celestial Justice to the fore. As through the Doomsworldgame was instigated a Major Wishling and a Major Rainbowling ending with a great sweeping of energies, quasienergies, as the Goddessgods acted with, and through, the activation of those. With the flow of these incredible events came the Celestial Angelic Avatars of who-what had been Shazzie, Sagesmart, Gavag, Marriet, Chancecis and others; some were known by the Seekachampions but the great majority were strangers. THIS IS THE ENDING OF BOOK ONE!

Post #143 [One][64.1] Sharry slept in Seekahome, in the Seekaziggurat, in the Seekavaults, in Shazzantacca and even in Seekacore as linked to Seekamind along within Seekahome. Gaiacity was cleansed off shadakind and the clean up began! The Seekavault #1a was found to have no more shadakind there. The Celestitribeing, of a Celestitribaby, was very protective of Sharry after meeting her deep sleeping self. So it was that Seekataskteam02 remained, for the moment, in the fantastic Rainbowcastle of the amazing Rainbowcastlecity. A Major Rainbowling was activated there to strengthen it in many ways including the enrichment of its resources; the effect much improved the whole citystate of Taskatanna as focused on the city of Taskatannatila. That was happening in the Seekaunderlands. At the accessible parts, of the Seekaziggurat, peoples were organising well. Arriving groups, of refugees, were now being sent onwards to a large security medical quarantine encampment as set up closer to the Seekahomelands Seekawilds Border. The reasons were that local space had been exhausted and that odd illnesses had been detected amongst refugees of previously non encountered types. Sharry slept in Seekahome surrounded by permayoungs and pet companions along with other Seekaprimes of former Seekachampions. Seekakeep was free of Antiseekars and there dragonfolk were being successfully integrated into Seekar society. Then the other Seekachampions also fell into deep sleep to be cared for by others who also kept them secure as was possible.
