[7.4][0031] Taking Stock, Resting and Working Things Out in Safeumary! (Direct continuation of the story post before this one)

In a large, lightly decorated, meeting chamber a Seekaplayers meeting was held.

Sharry spoke. "The whole, fake, highschool, techcomplex and bunker were partly the manifestation of a dark entity that was partly infused into it. The 4SVR copy has been erased for reasons that will not be gone into, at least not for now! Until then we will need to focus on other matters."

All the Seekaplayers were there including the newly recruited Sculder and Foxulder; Sculder was a powerful psychic based psycher and Foxulder was cyborg augmented along with having enhanced biological features. Other, highly qualified, agents had already taken their place in the XAISA being Rainnarri and Doggettio.

Shendy spoke. "A large group of migrants, perhaps they would better be called refugees, arrived today in Safeumary from Sactumary. They were able to bring only relatively little resources with them. The Safeumary Central Tricouncil has already begun to assist them but for now they are in security, medical, quarantine."

Professor Sagesmart asked. "How many refugees?"

Sharry answered. "5,224 of them. More are already on their way. Safeumary is in trouble of some kind but getting information, even from the refugees, is proving to be problematic. The ones who have arrived were common folk working, studying, being cared for away from the more central areas of Sanctumary. It appears that troubling changes began in Sanctumary some two years ago. Civil war has already begun in some areas but it is unclear to who the factions are or why they are fighting."

Shorey spoke out. "Sanctumary is based partly on a better version of DC of the wastelands. That is no past Doomsday, no desolate environments, no mutants, no rogue robots or other negative factors of WashingtonDC. Perhaps we will find a way to go there but for now all travel is seemingly locked in a one way from Sanctumary to here, Safeumary."

Scully spoke. "So, where next and who will go?"

Shurly answered. "We will not know until our patron-benefactor reports to us but there are still plenty of things we can do until then."

Stanley sighed. "I could eat more fruity cupcakes!"

Everybody else quietly agreed that this was a good plan!

[8.1][0032] SQuins' First Group Meditation Projection Mission

During their first group meditation session the SQuins had actually 'gone elsewhere' as in a projection fashion. That is into the 4SVR copy of the fake triple zone of bunker, techcomplex and highschool. They did so to avoid what they had detected as safety filtering of the 4SVR network-system which they did not need but which had impeded what they needed to find; question was who-what had imposed that filtering and why?

They came in silvery, metallic, suits that covered them head to foot as identical humanoid figures without any identifying features.

This time they found a trapdoor, in the grass, through which the crazed student had fallen through. A diagonal slide tunnel ended above a tunnel full of flowing jelly substance that would have quickly caused the student to go unconscious before killing him and starting the process of digesting him. They flew through the air, above the jelly stuff, and scanned it from there.

Sharry: "A fast and merciful death for any who fell into its traps."

Shimmy: "Yet still murder for all that."

The other spoke to them. "No, those that one took, in real existence, were already as good as dead so brain damaged were they. Others came to me and begged for merciful death but one did save others through another trap linked network or when they came to me begging for death; with those one could do so, in one way or another as you will discover."

They came into a great dome shaped chamber and flew to where a disk shaped platform stood at its center with one big, cylindrical,  column supporting it at that point. The jelly substance flowed into great openings to vanish away to where it was most probably processed.

The voice spoke again. "We are innocent, are victims just as the students were that we gave mercy to."

The humans that worked on the gently sloping shoreline, of the great pool of jelly substance, did so with grey metallic caps on their heads and coveralls, plus gumboots, of the same colourisation. One, a young woman, fell down and screamed in agony before struggling to stand and to go on working.

The voice laughed nastily. "Oh, well, so much for that protestations of innocence! One fed off the dark emotions, and pain, of the false highschool that one helped to create along with the techcomplex and bunker. Well, no, not really me as such but that which one is a copy of. One became imbued with one's creation, became so embedded that one was trapped as the mysterious other had planned it to be."

The images, of the slaves, vanished away.

The voice spoke on. "One can not feed off clever illusions especially as that is what one is, also."

Big, powerful, gun-turrets popped up out of the ground and sent rocket-shells, blasting pulses of energy, missiles and laser beams at the SQuins that all passed harmlessly through them. The firing ceased and the turrets popped back down, out of sight.

The malignant presence was gone, at least from that area, having fled away.

[8.2][0033] First Group Meditation Projection Mission (Direct continuation of the story post before this one)

Shorey examined a screen on her multiscanner before making it vanish back to a hidden inventory. "There is far more nutrients, in the absorption transferal jelly, than could be provided by a few missing staff and students. Also a lot of it seems to come from plant based products and fungi. The protein appears to come largely from clonemeat. There are also some condiments thrown in to improve the flavour. The oddest ingredient is AtomicCola Super."

Sharry frowned softly. "We ended up sending a whole lot of that substance to Sanctumary thanks to the multiplication of 27."

Shendy sighed. "Could just be a coincidence!"

They had found, in the zone where the jelly ended up flowing into, processing plants that changed it to some extent before storing it in big cubecanisters that then went onto conveyor belts. Robots did all the work along with automation  as controlled by a supercomputer network. The belts had gone outside of the 4SVR environment so their destination remained a mystery for the moment.

Going back the other way, along the tunnel and past the trapdoor along with others like it, they came to a great chamber and, in it, a complex. Hydroponics, cultivation of clonemeat, and other biotech food production went on there. Not all of it went into the jelly but much of it was used to feed the staff, and students, of the fake highschool after it was changed to make it more palatable.

Some, of the food, went to a third destination but it also went beyond the current, available, 4SVR maps!

They continued to explore available space!

[8.3][0034] First Group Meditation Projection Mission (Direct continuation of the story post before this one)

The emoticon floated in mid air as a weeping globular head that looked the same, to any viewer, no matter what direction that they saw it from. The SQuins knew very well it was original to the 4SVR simulation that they were projecting into. It was a message but was it for them?

Around them was the Blondie13 Den or was it?

Shendy spoke. "This chamber appears more to entertain, and impress, visitors than to be used in any practical manner."

Big, glossy, photographs dotted one wall area being from the softporn magazine but there were others with the Blondie13 playing sports, running a science experiment in a laboratory, carrying out a technical project in a workshop, keeping fit by exercising in a gymnasium, studying quietly in a library and other activities.

Sporting trophies lined shelves along with other high placement awards.

Shurly frowned softly. "Why do we have a subtle feeling of disturbance about this place?"

Artworks on a wall or on shelving were next to a large bookcase filled with expensive, leather bound, volumes.

Sharry frowned not so softly. "Why do the women remind me of us?"

The emoticon was replaced by that of a broken heart so now it was clear that the changing message was for them! What did it mean and who-what was sending the message to them?

The term Blondie13 was only one, of a few names, that the 13 were known by but most had a variation, in them, of the word 'blonde or blond'.

Then a row, of 13 wall lockers, opened up to reveal 13 upright, multipurpose, bodycapsules.  In each one was a dead woman, man or neuter clearly being the BlondiePR13.

The voice spoke from a speaker. "One is Supercomp13ABC13 and I miss the clones that were only public relations figures but much nicer than the real Blondie13 and far more attractive. The real ones were malformed experimental subjects that came to hate themselves, each other and everybody else. You might seem like the five public face females but you are not them, of course, as the real Blondie13 murdered them."

There was a flash of yellow-white energies that went through everybody and everything there, and beyond but which had no direct effect on the SQuins or at least it did not seem so at the time. A changed had happened but to who-what and how?

They returned to where they had been meditating.

[9.1][0035] Second Group Meditation Projection Mission

The 4SVR scenario had become more than just that but was somehow more 'real' but was becoming slowly-steadily more so or so the SQuins deepsensed. It had also expanded to show areas previously missing from the 3Dmap or outside of it.

Supercomp13ABC13 was happier for now the BlondiePR13 were with 'him' again being in a large, comfortable, well resourced and secure complex. The 13 clones were sleeping, in sleepcapsules, as they needed to do so having just been resurrected-recreated somehow.

SC13ABC13, his shortened name, spoke from a carefully coordinated speakers for perfect surround sound effect. "There is more than one cloning facility here, somewhere, as part of the techcomplex along with related facilities. They provided clonemeat to add to the jelly flowing tunnels, clone lifeforms for a very wide range of reasons and did much else as a reflection of the real techcomplex that is still out there waiting to be fully activated along with the rest of the gameworld or so I compute with admittedly limited, accessible, data."

Shendy spoke. "What of the fake highschool?"

SC13ABC13: "You have recounted for me your ventures through out the fake highschool, techcomplex and bunker but there are only three spots, in the fake highschool, that you seemingly did not visit. One knows only vaguely about them but has their coordinates. They do not seem to be very big but, again, one may be mistaken in that assessment."

Shendy observed. "You are very honest!"

SC13ABC13: "Thank you but it was the Headmistress who program-conditioned me that way as she invented me and directed the taskteam that made me. She was hard but fair, Professor Sasha Rannis. She had two hearts and other differences with her body that indicated she was a human variation very different from the ones of this world. She could manipulate time, to a limited extent, with her innate special powers and had other such tricks she could carry out. Rannis even had a strange cube shaped transport she called a TSASTT  meaning Timespace Alternates Spacetime Transport. Oh, yes, she was a Timespacesage! She did not say much else about the Timespacesages except that their original homeworld was a planet called Chronossia though they also had two secondary homeworlds and colonies."

Shurly shook her head. "Sasha Rani is known to us or at least vaguely so. She is linked to our childhood in the PanNexusia ."

Shendy nodded. "A Timespacesage? Was she also fake?"

SC13ABC13: "You Seekaplayers weren't so maybe she wasn't either and neither were some others or so one figures!"

Shendy : "Who?"

SC13ABC13: "The XAISA Agents, another Timespacesage known as ProfTime and the Sageprofessors but also, maybe, the Tanglassa. Trouble is, again, that one knows little about any of those having picked up knowledge of them only through secondary means."

The SQuins staid some time with the supercomputer network before moving onward.

[9.2][0036] Second Group Meditation Projection Mission (Direct continuation of the story post before this one)

The Tanglassa turned out to be the 'presence' that they had encountered as a voice in the area where the flowing jelly substance went through basic processing. Question was about just how 'real' was it. The SQuins came  to the realisation that, somehow, it was not just an aspect of the changing 4SVR program. They found the information at the site of the first coordinates that SC13ABC13 had informed them of.

It was largely a sophisticated observation chamber spying on the fake highschool through the use of concealed audio-visual pickups, hidden sensors, more obvious eyebots, ceiling corner based security cameras, scanners, motion detectors and far more. This included devices carried by security people, all robots and those used to tap into telecommunications. Large viewscreens took on main focuses as backed up by smaller ones and datascreens screens showing information in a variety of forms.

A simple print-out was taped to a console desk that spoke of the basics about the Tanglassa being a code name that gave away nothing about its true nature. The note was addressed to them, as the SQuins, and was signed off with the name Rewrit of Rothua!

At back of the main chamber was a smaller one that observed the jelly fluid flowing tunnels, of which there were a few more than the one that the SQuins had traveled along. It showed them where the food was grown, cloned and otherwise produced that went into the jelly substance to be both transported and broken down as it was absorbed. It also showed where the food jelly went through more advanced processing.

They found another jelly tunnel led to another, great, chamber. This was also where 13 great, mutated, blobs of flesh fed hungrily on a large amount of it along with the many, smaller, mutants that served them. Tubes fed jelly substance to them while others took from them three types of waste product of solids, liquid and gas; they were all recycled.

The sight of them doing could be have seen as grotesque and pitiful but the SQuins did not view them in either fashion but with compassion.

It was kind of haunting to know that a large amount, of all that food, was produced to feed the mysterious, exotic, Tanglassa but more so with the realisation that the entity was the bloated mutants of Blondie13 or was that the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth?

Where were the real ones, since Doomsday, and what had happened to them?

[9.3][0037] Second Group Meditation Projection Mission (Direct continuation of the story post before this one)

The SQuins found that the second, and third, coordinates were two more observation chambers being almost identical to the first one. They were linked by a cable-teleport network of CTBs, cable-teleport booths. The five femmes found that they could use the network and so did so.

The second observation chamber had at its back a smaller one that secretly watched over what looked to be a 3DTV studio with a gameshow. The SQuins were angered to realise that it produced malignant recorded episodes that were then sent onwards to a few chosen elites and the echelons that served them along with a few others.

The third observation chamber showed where the cubecanisters, of processed food went to, using conveyor belt tunnels. It was to the fake highschool for its staff, students and more hidden occupants. That is to large scale kitchens that converted it into meals, snacks, fills for vending machines, emergency rations and as other items; some were drugs to be drunk, swallowed as pills, eaten or used with hypodermic needles.

At this point it seemed that they had nothing more to discover, in that three places as one site, so they ceased their current mission.

[10.1][0038] Third Group Meditation Projection Mission

The 4SVR scenario was emptied of any real value as much had gone from it. It was no looking more real than a 4SVR scenario but now was not much of one. So the SQuins erased it as they would later on inform the other Seekaplayers.

Following a trail, as created by their mysterious mentor-benefactor-tributee, the five of them ended up in a quasireality as 'real' as the gameworld as itself. Just as Safeumary was a Demisanctumary, so was this one now known as Smartumary. SC13ABC13 ran it in conjunction with the BlondiePR13 who served as his assistant-advisers. Smartumary already was strengthening links with Safeumary but so far was isolated from Sanctumary being even more so than Safeumary had recently become.

Being young, Smartumary was still only quite small even when compared to Safeumary let alone Sactumary but it was growing slowly-steadily on an increasing scale as it expanded outwards in a 3D fashion.

The SQuins helped in many ways, spending a 50 gamecredit on Smartumary and its peoples. What helped this decision was that the 50 gamecredit previously spent of Safeumary had been regenerated so they still ended up with a reserve of 50 gamecredit. It seemed that their mysterious mentor-benefactor-tributee, as they now called 'it', had been pleased by their earlier expenditure on Safeumary.

Taking a chance, they spent their one, and only, Major Wishling on Smartumary which helped to improve it from then on and for a while to come.

They had a troubling feeling that they were missing 'something' or was it only the one thing but was it worth going over prior experience once more? They had their doubts and wondered if their was another way to gain more answers and what was it if there was only one.

They realised that they had not been given any clear instructions on just what they should seek to do and why they should do. Indeed the communications with their mentor-benefactor-tributee had been both rare and fleeting so far which was becoming frustrating; only their sheer busyness before had stopped them from taking this factor clearly into account.

[11.1][0039] Some Changes Made and Preparations Begun

Of the six group meditations, by the SQuins, the last three were straight forward meditations of rest, restoration and a hope of ideas emerging to assist them of which none came to them; they did become strengthened and more rested of body, mind and spirit.

Shimmy became a Steekaserver along with her new assistant, K9herois. They would remain in Safeumary with Shimmy being on the Seekateam Special Council with K9herois having his position mostly as sleeping under the council bench and with his head resting on one of her feet. Shorey, with Stanley as her assist, would soon join them on the council with Stanley also sleeping much but back of Shorey.

The Seekaplayers now had four new vacancies being reduced to 21 in number.

The Seekateam was the new title for the team making up both Seekaplayers and Seekaservers.

Team exercises, meetings, brain storming workshops and other preparations began for the true gameworld to be activated.
