Sarah spoke. "The disintegration blast, that caused the Megaton Crater, may have had an internal source but did it fail to destroy this site. That, if I am not mistaken, is a dreaded Zerotower of criminally insane genius."

 

There had been more fighting carried out, amongst a large ring of machinery surrounding the tower at a distance. There were more oversized zyclop corpses along with those of humans for the chamber seemed to have an odd preserving effect on the bodies. A soft, glimmering, radiance reached out from the tower.

 

Vargas responded with grim determination. "We must destroy this place!"

 

Sarah shook her head. "We could easily cause the destruction not just of Megaton but a larger area than the settlement. We need to sabotage the Zerotower but with great care."

 

The operation, to do just that, began!

The XFISA, XFiles Investigations Security Agency, people suddenly showed up in the Chosenzone but not alone as with them came other Predoomsday people plus animals, androids, robots and more. Of surprise were such as trustworthy zetanfolk including zetans, tame supermutants created by secret Predoomsday experiments, animafolk of human-animal hybrids, tame zyclops and super powered individuals. Most were typical Predoomsday humans, animals, plants and much else. They brought, with them, a great amount of useful resources as mostly donated by the LittleFateFamily.

 

Most important, in many ways, they brought vital information about the mysteries faced by the Chosen Ones.

 

Agent Dana Scully spoke as she sat at a big, round, table at which sat one person from each of the Chosen One Fives along with a Rainbowlord and a LittleFateOne as a woman representing the LittleFateFamily; all LittleFateOnes were deep shapeshifting members of the LittleFateFollowerhood.

 

She spoke, showing signs of some tiredness. "You have done well, in some ways better than the XFISA did before what you call Doomsday fell. The LittleFateFamily warned us of what was coming and brought us, along with loved ones and much else, to the where the massive submarine was hidden even then. There was a large counter-conspiracy alliance that had not only learned about the Doomsday Conspiracy but about its incredible, criminally insane, plans. We missed out on Doomsday and the centuries that passed since it took place over 200 years ago."

 

Scully went on after a noticeable, thoughtful, pause as if working out what she would say next. "The problem, with investigating the Doomsday Conspiracy, was that it was hidden behind many 'red herrings' of lesser conspiracies, false conspiracies and other types of false leads. We cut it down to the True Illuminati, the TechCorps Central Network, the EarthEnclaven and the most hardest, to learn about, the 13G13 that we suspected could well have been behind the whole conspiracy."

 

Sarah spoke. "They were and continue to be the head of a Postdoomsday Conspiracy." She then spoke of the 13Gamer13, the 13War13, the 13Tech13, the 13Syndicate13 and other 13/13s as new information obtained now had their names be. "We recently changed the given names for such because this gameworld has been 'distorting' but also because of other factors that are unclear to us. We are stable, and safe, here in the Chosenzone but are trying to bring in more from the one gameworld even as new gameworlds are formed in a runaway fashion."

 

Jasmine spoke of the Chosen Ones, sent from the Gamerworld, to investigate what was happening to the Gamergod's plans who name seemed to be shifting, changing, in a disturbing manner.

 

Scully then spoke. "The TechVaultsDC are important not only as techvaults but because their numbers are aspect of a code that in turn is a very important key to a deep secret. We need to gain a total list of all TechVaultsDC and to work out how many of the numbers are valid to use for it appears not all of them might be so."

There were no Chosen Ones amongst the XFISA people or those that had shown up with them such as SWATTs, paramilitary Special Weapons Armour Tech Troopers, and a wide range of others. Yet the XFISA had known that there were such as Chosen Ones though not what the name meant. The XFISA had already chosen to support the Chosen Ones as had the SWATTs, of the SWATT Force, who had previously worked with the XFISA.

 

SWATTs came from the older SWATs as teams, the change taking place in the mid 21^st Century as the new paramilitary units were needed to deal with exotic threats. Original SWATs had been decimated by a series of violent, aggressive, civil disorders and carefully calculated attacks against them by special forces mercenaries. The new SWATTs retaliated, proving themselves as they hunted down the mercenaries and dealt with them while proving that the Doomsday Conspiracy had been behind the planned assault on the SWATs but not why.

 

Then, with a soft shimmering, stacks of documents appeared on the table being five of them as folders, of print-outs, and dataplugs full of digital information. There were also some holotapes of that rather odd technology. It became necessary to study the new information that had been sent by the LittleFateFamily and then to create a whole new plan, of action, including a list of prioritized goals. In the end they would push all their prior research results to one side so as to start again though rather grudgingly so in some cases.

The LittleFateWoman had four arms, and easily the strength, to carry two permababies, a permafant (permanent infant) and two, short, permatweens; they were, in turn and with alphabetical influence, Bib, Bub, Beb, Bab and Bob. They were comfortably asleep and it was better that way as they entered the GDC in what, outwardly, seemed like a surprisingly quiet, atomic motorised, hoversedan. The machine glided across a river that had not existed before Doomsday, past a domed settlement that was still largely dry inside the dome. Could the five Bsiblings be said to be Chosen Ones?

 

The five Omans, as avatars, went with other Reregulators and the LittleFateRanger, plus three LittleFateDeputies, tracking the movement of a pack of savage Gary superclones. Fast to regenerate damage, superhuman in physical abilities but dumb, the short lived entities had been causing havoc. They had even driven off a reaverpack that no radraiders had managed to do. Leaving most behind, a smaller number moved into a crater and to where the Garys had gone. It was there they found a surprise, to all but the LittleFateEntities there, of desiccated Gary bodies all shrunken up. Something far more dangerous than they had drawn from them blood, liquefied flesh and some life energies; they were like the bodies found by the RRs in the Capital Building.

 

The Jsisters discovered a secret door, in the big museum chamber, that led to another big chamber where the missing displays had been moved to. There they found more techvault dedicated ones but also those linked to mysteries such as the 'vampiric murders' of Boston, a big zetan battle with native North American Indians before Europeans had shown up, the native Indians had won, the sightings of a blue police box that showed up only to quickly vanish away, the hunts for BigFoot, troubles with the alien Greys, the time travelers who claimed to come from a Postdoomsday world, what seemed like versions of supermutants, troubles with FEV and so much else.

 

The Ssisters found a hidden way, indicated in the books, that took them to a secret, Deepway Station complete with a metallic worm of an advanced, atomic, monotrain. The TriOrderhood claimed it but granted some rights to the people of Megaton, the Megaton Town Council grudgingly accepting this because the town gained many resources. It was no real surprise that they also found a bunker of US military type complete with the type of tech that the SteelOrderhood could most well use. The place was abandoned, of humans, with no signs even of radghouls though there were a few robots and even some androids.

 

The Sclones, of Stormghosts, kept moving deeper into the GDC until they crossed into the smaller DC. Three groups, of radgangers, and one of radraiders, paid dearly for attacking the infiltrators but soon retreated as best they could.

 

The Mbrothers found a techvault type wheeldoor in a very unexpected place. On it was a strange code but it ended in '101DC'. They failed, at first, to open it.

The Wanderer carefully entered the supposedly long abandoned US Military bunker of Ravenrock and soon found there, quite active, the RavenEnclave of the small RavenEnclaven that was mostly a secret research development organisation; that is one focused on working with artificial intelligence of megacomputers. The RavenEnclaven had only heavy security, and standard security, to protect them as guards and robots but they had an extensive network of turrets to back them up.

 

The Wanderer confronted the ZAX type megacomputer, ZAX1114211, that was going quietly, efficiently, insane! Even as he went through its core data, in a seemingly impossible manner, it became clear that out of the artificial intelligence's changes was arising a new identity of one US President John Henry Eden. ZAZ1114211 had been studying all prior US Presidents including those of the Second American Civil War and the Great Federal Schism.

 

The important discovery was that an outside influence was not only behind the 'madness' but was guiding the deluded, new, president into following a conspiracy to kill many millions of Wastelanders across the old USC Mainland. His attempts to discover the identity of such failed except for the name of TechVault010AO.

 

After he made some 'interesting tweaks' to the megacomputer, the Wanderer spoke with the RavenEnclaven leaders and when he departed, they went with him to a new site. The EagleEnclaven had sent an expeditionary force to Ravenrock and it was not going to share with any other Enclaven but would either absorb, or destroy, the smaller one; so he found transports, and other assistance, for them to do so and began to influence them away from being part of the EarthEnclaven based madness.

 

Colonel Augustus Autumn, a ruthless EagleEnclaven Commander, came leading the expeditionary force to find the security systems let him, and his people, into much of the bunker but not all of it. President Henry Eden announced 'himself' to be the leader of the NUS, the New United States, that the EagleEnclaven was welcome to be part of as long as it recognised him as president. Wryly, the colonel agreed, considering the amazing resources found in Ravenrock that the EagleEnclaven needed including manufacturing, maintenance, repair, research and more.

 

As for the RavenEnclaven, there was no sign of them, not even in the databanks of the mad megacomputer so of course President Henry Eden did not remember them.

A secret door, in a wall that once sported a display in the FakeVault101DC museum, led to an almost identical chamber where there were the moved displays from the first chamber. The Jsisters, with others in tow, investigated.

 

There was one about TechVault997DC with the experiment of researching-developing different kinds of cyborgs including variations of brainbots. There was also R'n'D being done in linkage techs of human brains to cyber technologies at a deeper level. The term Cyberman was mentioned more than once but also Cybermat, Cybergirl, Cyberdroid and Cyberbot along with a few others; of those terms only Cyberman, Cybergirl, Cyberboy and Cyberdog referred to cyborgs as the others were about androids and robots tuned to working with the Cyberforce. Details were missing including to references that were left vague.

 

TechVault998DC was to do with squat, mutated, humanoids known as Daleks that operated in hovercones, special mecha, dronecraft and inside cyberlink capsules that were part of sophisticated cybercomputer networks. Again the lack of detail was some what frustrating.

 

Most interesting was the one of the real MainVault101DC and its isolation entrapment experiment the title was deceptive as was the original term for the more known of isolation experiment. Different factions were driven to fight each other, for sheer survival, by ever shifting forms of isolation-entrapment but also by introduced threats outside of the chosen factions; those chosen factions were normers, the most normal along with the biggest number, the reavers, the psykers, the elementers, the shappers, the mimicers, and more not actually titled. There was, again, a pausity of important details and yet that last display had given them important information about what was happening with the real MainVault101DC.

 

There was a VaultPrime robot, a civil construction counterpart of a LibertyPrime with a vague account of how it had assisted in the construction of the real MainVault101DC.

 

There were more VaultTech construction robots though none were humanoid or as big as the VaultPrime.

 

The Jsisters soon worked out that not all of the displays, that had been moved from the first found museum chamber, had been moved to that one. There were five that were unaccounted for.
