[2.7][0010] Gamer Team Players of Steel Entering WashingtonDC. (Direct continuation of post before this one)

It was a laboratory with elements of horror house and torture dungeon. The experiments, on students, had clearly been of the malignant kind with the testing of strange drugs, dubious genetic engineering and odd variants of the GMI (Genetic Manipulation Infiltration) plus other projects. The skeletal remains, of long dead experimental subjects, were seen to have been inside capsules, strapped to steel tables or submerged in now, often, empty tanks. Only a couple were filled with such as stagnant water or other fluids.

There were indications of past violence as in smashed furniture, and fittings, which was saying much for they tended to be made of steel.  Perhaps more than one creature had escaped. The SP14 spread out, but not too much, with everybody being in close pairs. Scientific devices were gathered up, along with other useful items, and sent to Sanctumary being multiplied by two. Analytical work was done on some of the liquids, remaining in tanks, and were discovered to be of appalling nature except for where there had been clean water.

They found the patchwork fleshgolem squatting next to a AtomicCola vending-machine drinking a cold bottle of AtomicCola Original.  Of course he fell in love with the SQuins at once and was soon being fussed over by Shurly who used AtomicCola vendor vouchers to pay for AtomicFoodbars, AtomicChips and AtomicCoffee for the big, scarred, micrstitched up one. Some of the Seekaplayers got also had their share.

He spoke with a odd gruff, rough, voice. "Professor Frankenstein made me to help him in the laboratory and to protect him against escaped creatures. Then everything went mad, bad and sad so he ran away, with his others, leaving me and others like me behind. This is a good vending machine for it becomes full up every so often and there are always prizecaps, coins, cards and vouchers around somewhere."

Emergency Issue Dollars had been issued as coins and dollars, only, as cards. EIDs had proven to remain one of the best currencies since Doomsday along with redeemable prizecaps and voucher cards. Otherwise there were just a varied range of tradegoods at varied values.

His name was Frankison and he had not left the immediate research development area since he was created. It had not been good there but was better when the professor realised he was not a very reliable laboratory worker being too easily upset by what was going on there. So he got to spend his time in a quieter area along with experimental subjects that the professor had allowed to live in the same place. They were still there though a few were in status capsules.

Frankison spoke with a solemn tone of voice. "Frankidad said that he, and others like him, were monstrous in their ways but were fighting to deal with 'something' far darker and more dangerous than themselves that permeated the very core of this world from the first moment of its existence. He said not many words like that so I was surprised by them. Frankidad said it was best if I do not go with him, for my own sake, when he left in a hurry for he and his colleagues were in danger. He said 'something' about going to join the 'TriquaInstitute  based in New Britain and New Hampshire."

They went off to meet his friends and pets!

Frankison had given the false impression of there being only a very few lifeforms either inside or outside of statuscapsules. A row, of respawning contents, vending-machines were not just AtomicCola ones but others giving food-drink along with semirandom  lists of small gifts, publications, Teknacorp (Tekna Corporation) items and three more exotic types.

Humans were there with general, physical and mental, enhancements. They were considered to be mild impact experimental subjects along with others and there were also moderate and heavy impact ones, the last often being in statuscapsules sometimes being big enough to hold more than one. There were also animals such as cats, dogs, lizards, birds and fish in big aquarium tanks. In long plant beds were a variety of plants some offering food or herbs-spices. Crops, of fungi, were also grown being mostly mushrooms.

Sandris, an enhanced woman, was in a white jumpsuit and she was hairless with purple skin but green eyes. "Frankenstein colour coded us enhanced humans so we stood apart from non gen ones and those whose nature was influenced by the GMI There are other statuscapsules with such humans in them along with others; they were captured trying to infiltrate into the school and put into statuscapsules. Before anything could be done to them, Doomsday struck! We enhanced humans only came to here to live after Doomsday took place. Frankison told us about the other statuscapsules but has only been there once, with his 'Frankidad' centuries ago so he can not remember how to get back there. He has told us that there were placed dangerous safeguards to keep others from going there and he has no solid reason to lie about it. You know, I have always wanted to be a paperback writer; of novels, that is!"

Sharry smiled sweetly, of course. "What a wonderful ambition! You could still become one if we send you to a place called Sanctumary but you have to admit to be shapeshifters, or at least those of you who are have to do so."

Sandris sighed. "Purple skin means one is a shapeshifter but it somehow would not surprise me you knowing what I am with knowing about the colour coding."

Sharry nodded. "We will send you to Sanctumary where you will be placed into security quarantine as probationary citizens. We will send all including those in the statuscapsules along with those in them. There you can write, and publish, your paperback novels. Now, I have some questions for you!"

Shorey found the bookshelf full of Predoomsday paperbacks and a single one marked 'How to Write a Paperback Novel'. Inside that they found a coded set of data disguised as a 'poor example of writing' and a hidden map of part of the research development centre.

It turned out easier, and best, to send all to the 'half way place' and that two of the SQuins would go with them being Shorey and Shurly! Others would be coming, from that same location, to replace the two women.

[2.9][0012] Gamer Team Players of Steel Entering WashingtonDC. (Direct continuation of post before this one)

Shurly, and Shorey, went to Demisanctumary Safeumary along with Frankison and some others from the dreaded school in WashingtonDC; that is other experimental subjects, including those in the statuscapsules that were moved with some difficulty, animals, plants, fungi, robots and a small number of basic androids. The three robots, and two animals, that had been stored away, were now active in the new halfway realm. Cybergirlie, MrCarryon and Trieyebot were there to meet the newcomers as were Amphibioto and Wingfastus the animals being five members of the Seekaplayers.

The others, in that place that so many had hidden away for so long, were gone leaving 12 Seekaplayers behind. They explored more, of the hidden away area of the school that was turning out to be far more than just that. The vending machines area became their main base area with four remaining there while two teams, of four, explored. The three teams were always carefully chosen such as Batmanbot was always with See3pio at the 'home area'.

A row, of respawning contents, vending-machines were still useful AtomicCola ones but others giving food-drink along with small gifts, publications, Teknacorp items and three more exotic types.The 'more exotic' type vending-machines were a one that sold one shot medicants, another that dealt with 'small, accurate, historical replicas' and the third that offered a range of experimental devices of later prototype production; that is they were, in theory, not yet in full production. To look over the vending-machines, in a closer fashion, was to realize that there was an odd pattern about the way they were arranged and in what they were vending. They began buying up every item on offer with only the 'semirandom' gift machines offering different items as selling went on.

"Why Teknacorp items?" Shandy sighed. "Why here in a place supposedly far removed from any of the Teknaplexes (Teknacomplexes) listed officially in DC such as TeknaplexDC101, TeknaplexDC106 and... ah yes.. TeknaplexDC083."

Charles Le'Nerd spoke with a tone of mild disgust. "True GRRKs (Gaia Reclamation Resources Kits)  Teknaplexes hidden behind false ones full of experimental victims, Teknatopias (Tekna Utopias) full of Teknacorp elites, their cronies, and the echelons that serve t hem. Teknabunkers ready to help conquer the world and what else, I wonder!"

So they bought items like wristcomputers, laserpistols, teknasuits, security body-armour sets, stunclubs, minirobots and other Teknacorp items.

Most of the items, gained from the vending machines, and other sources in the area, were sent on to Safeumary  being multiplied only twice because of transdimensional factors. Vended items were lain out, in a careful pattern, on top of a large table. AtomicCola items were of the same range as gained already from another vending machine.

There was food-drink from a McYummy machine that kept up an annoying 'yummy yummy in my tummy' tune as they bought items from it.

The small gifts were fairly expensive ones that one might give to school staff or even students; was it a supplier of some kind of bribery?

The medicants were of a well known, useful, range that would be most valuable in the wastelands such as regenpens, medipens, antiradpens, antitoxpens and multiantidote to a number of venoms; question was why were they being being provided back before Doomsday took place?

The publications were of biodegradable, recyclable, clonepaper being compact newsmags (news magazines), scientific journals, fiction books, nonfiction ones and a short selection of odd ones out.

A glossy softporn magazine, with 3Dphotos, showed both men and women. It was called the Fleshpicks Magazine being an edition distributed just a few days before Doomsday. It did not take long to realize that the subjects were attractive 16-19 year old students from that school perhaps being exploited though there was no obvious evidence of it. One a person turned 16, in the former USA, they could be naked in a softporn sense but had to wait to be at least 20 to be in a hardporn one. Yet it was there, in that text, that clues were first found that presented a puzzle and the start to solving it. There were 13 figures, in the photographs, but not all were shown naked or getting to be so. There were three others, in the background, five males and five females making up the number '13'; this might not seem to be important but there was a symbolic precedent about that figure, especially so in certain contexts.

Charles Le'Nerd frowned. "Could be three neuters, five females and five males that could be a balanced 13 pyramid pattern as with some types of clone13s."

Sharry frowned softly at the man. "Could be !"

Charles sighed. "You know of my almost obsession with conspiracy theories; there are discernible, but subtle, patterns here such as in the way the individuals are arranged."

Sharry shook her head. "Take away the 'almost' and yes I do! Why display them in such a manner? Could it be a matter of hiding them in the open! They have many features in common, including the dressed neuters if that is what they are. They do not bulge, in their tight suits, in the right places to be either male or female. They are stereotypical in their blondness, tanned white skin and blue eyes being clearly very fit and likely very healthy. There is a strange, disturbing, quality about them that... I am picking up as in a lack of conscious, of a moral compass."

Professor Sagesmart spoke with a frown on his face and in his voice. "The students, were they experimental clones or at least some of them, it would be a clever way to disguise so many of them being tested in this one place and could truly explain what was terribly wrong with at least a great number of them."

Sharry frowned. "I suspect not just clone experimentation was linked to this place but other types as in Professor Frankenstein's research; according to Frankison they were not clones that his 'dad' worked with as he had worked on Frankison with."

Then they found a small number of other, important, clues; it was an experience that was both chilling and yet exciting!

[2.11][0014] Gamer Team Players of Steel Entering WashingtonDC. (Direct continuation of post before this one)

News came that the five androids, and five elementals, of the Seekaplayers had joined the three robots, and two animals, that were in Safeumary; they brought others with them and some equipment-supplies. There was tension, in Sanctumary that the Seekaplayers could deepsense, when they were there, and they continued to keep contact with a few that were still there; some they did so with in a most discrete fashion.

Clue #1 was a pamphlet gained from a free items dispenser of WashingtonDC paraphernalia of an interesting variety. The pamphlet, of the school, showed that large chamber and other features of as a 2D map but showed a curiously empty space behind the vending machines that was very large. It had other blank spaces and also different types of puzzling features. The dispenser was well away from the vending machines but still in the same chamber.

They sent more items to Sanctumary that were multiplied by five being ones from both the vending machines and other sources.

Clue #2 was the pattern of vending machines that had a empty wall space at the horizontal line of them. A secret door was unlocked and opened to slide upwards so as to reveal a small, cube shaped, chamber. There was a range of small, cube shaped, alcoves in the far wall that had softly glowing, glass like, floors that quickly proved to be active sensors. Beneath each alcove was a cryptic puzzle including a row of numbers plus mathematical symbols.

A scouting group, of four, found a Dangerous Confiscated Property Chamber with five major areas; one was marked 'from staff', a second 'from students', a third 'from visitors', a fourth fourth was 'from miscellaneous' and the fifth was 'from unknown'.  The great chamber was full of mostly organised items so all was sent to Safeumary multiplied twice. Because time passed twice, as fast, as it did in that gameworld, than it was hoped that those, there, might soon come up with some interesting discoveries.

The school based team did study a catalogue from the DCPC and were amazed at what had been there and would soon enough be there again as respawning would take place for sure.

Sharry frowned. "Enough weapons to wage a small war with, enough hard drugs to supply a moderate sized South American Cartel with, enough gold ingots to buy a small urban mansion estate full of luxury goods, enough computer gear to put together at least one very advanced supercomputer network, enough pornography to keep a whole town of perverts happy for a year, a great number of sex related items including contraceptives, enough fancy clothing-footwear..." Shandy shrugged. "Lingerie, highheel shoes and other such items that are not always intended for women to wear. Oh, let us not overlook the deluxe chocolates, wines, liqueurs, leather bound books etc. Then there are the torture devices, the assassination tools, children's toys, more jewelry and so much more."

See3pio spoke. "Gosh, an inflatable sheep for children to play with!"

Batmanbot sighed. "Maybe that it not for children to use, wonderful See3pio! I will try to explain later when we are alone together."

Batmanbot had quite a lot of such conversations with See3pio!

Sharry kissed See3pio and then did the same to Batmanbot; in response See3pio bounced up and down in mid air while Batmanbot froze for a few seconds with a big grin on his metallic face.

The search, for clues, continued!

Changed the last part of the previous post to the following to have it make it closer to what I was trying to convey.

[3.1][0015] Gamer Team Players of Steel in Safeumary.

Shorey examined the decoded message and frowned. The Sanctumary's  Sanctumaristate High Council of Security Matters had very recently issued a series of security decrees intended to seek out and deal with dangerous infiltrators of a yet unknown source. They were stated as being shapeshifters of varied degrees of threat. A few had surrendered to the Sanctumarian Security Keepers or just to private citizens of the Sanctumaristate. It seemed that they hated, and feared, those that they served but not willingly so as they described themselves as being mind-slaves; that slavery failed when they were in Sanctumary  indicating that the mysterious GreatEnemy had made a mistake of some kind or so it seemed to be.

Part of the decoded message was a short list of five, rare, items needed to be sent to Sanctumary and a longer list of more common types, many of which had already been sent.

Somehow it was no surprise that Batmanbot arrived in the company of See3pio who he was always protective of. See3pio had not really worked out to be of a great adventurer and Batmanbot brought the best out in him. So they were soon at work, as a team, in Safeumary. With a rising concern that shapeshifting infiltrators might have reached Safeumary, the pair began both helping to protect and teach children at a large, highly secured, teaching training centre.  The students were of all ages and not just human.

The two lived with Shorey and Shurly which made them both very happy. Frankison got on very well with the two robots, especially the childlike See3pio but that did not surprise anybody who knew anything much of them. Many others not only lived, but worked in, the very same high secured Seekaplayers Complex. The five androids, and five elementals, were there but soon two of each would be going to join the others at the terrible high school in WashingtonDC.

Other changes were coming.
