Davad shook his head in wonder. “Why did the mobile-phone, hardly meant to be so large, appear so relatively big?”

 

It was an excellent question but there were no easy answers.

 

Jayle spoke. “At least we have a source of the manifesticants as linked with the game, by the same name, in the mobile-phone. There are also references to other aspects of the realm of Divinaedra, many of them in some of the games. Also some disturbing implications if these games even partly influenced the formation of our reality.”

 

Demar spoke then. “There are the 3Dphotos that were stored in the mobile-phone. They are not good quality but they show a cavern chamber of some kind dotted with portable tripod-lamps, generators, rechargeable battery packs, power tools, scaffolding and much else. Yes, figures in some kind of lightly armoured hazmat suits, perhaps made of a kind of kevlar.”

 

They had memorized the photographs, along with other data, but the photographs came up on a big 3Dflatscreen that slid up from the floor. The cavern seemed to be made of metallic stone. There were what seemed to be great statues of some kind of humanoids and these also were made of metallic stone. Then there were glowing cubes, spheres and pyramids that seemed melded to the walls. These glowed softly of translucent crystal material that looked fragile looking but somehow gave the impression that it was anything but so. It also looked elegantly beautiful.

 

Some soldier figures stood in kevlar armour suits complete with full enclosing helmets. They had advanced and deadly looking automatic weapons but some also had a kind of railgun weapon, a type of gaussrifle.

 

None of these people bore any resemblance at all to World State citizen-clones. They were of varied shapes and sizes while citizen-clones tended to be far more standardized of shapeform and size.

 

There were some 2Dphotos of family, friends, a pet dog, other school students, teachers and of the underground settlement of Moontown. It was fairly bleak being of pressurized air filled caverns sealed off with the rock itself along with various metals, carbon-fibre and special forms of plastic.

 

There were many notes about Moontown, its people, the family, the friends, but most were general. There did not seem to be anything of significance until they realized that hidden inside the notes, using an amazingly good coda system, was other information.

DAMADA DAVAD DEMAR DELIA OF THE DEVLIN THIRTEEN

Communications were made with the two androids in Megaton. They reported that the situation there was fine and were given more instructions.

 

Communications were made with Sarah Lyons and the RothuaRetirwa Followers in the Springvale Mountain Outpost of the OSDC and the Ironside Mercenaries.

 

Communications were made with the Zavid Triplets in LifeVault0101A2 who were still be prepped to go on a series of enforced missions for the Overseer Government of that LifeVault.

 

Communications were made with the other Watchitii Prime Three that continued on their sweeping observations and recordings of conditions and events.

 

Communications were made with the AlphaOmega Thirteen.

 

The search for answers behind the sabotage inside the MultiTransCubeShip, and for other possible sabotage, led to the finding of some interference. More importantly it led to passive sabotage programs ready to strike. Then there were signs of another set of powerful, deadly entities at work inside one of the MultiTransCubes of the MultiTransCubeShip.

 

Was it the forebaden and dreaded Perfectus Thirteen? Was it the work of the insane Fragmentori Thirteen?

 

RothuaRetirwa rested peacefully at the core of the MultiTransCubeShip and if she-he-it had wanted to cause trouble, would not have needed to carry out sabotage to do it.

 

What link was there between the sabotage and the ChaosLords? Had the ChaosLords been there by coincidence or not? They may have been taking advantage of the sabotage as they sent in one of their TARDISes to scout the Divinaedra Realm of that solar system.

 

They began exploration of the MultiTransCubeShip, not relying on internal security or other network-systems because they had been or may have been sabotaged.

It had been the MultiTransCube of the Fragmentori Thirteen, before and as they became the Fragmentori Thirteen, and it showed.

 

There was a great cubechamber that was a three dimensional cluttered maze of balconies, walkways, platforms, rampways, stairways, chutes, tubes, pipes, buttressing, flying-buttresses, columns, archways, globes, cubes, cones, oblongs, statues, mirrors, armaglass panes and much else. Davad and Jayle searched it in person with three Devlin and three Brownstone follower avatars while the others observed them.

 

Once known as the Equalus Thirteen, what had sent them insane, had fractured them, remained largely a mystery. In their growing madness they had impacted badly on the whole of the Thirteen Thirteens.

 

Who were the Thirteen Thirteens? Well, there had always been more than thirteen of the 'Thirteens' for the name itself was a deliberate deception.

 

There had been the AlphaOmega Thirteen and Watchitii Thirteen that still existed by the same names.

 

There had been the Seven Thirteens that changed names and natures to become the Devlin, Brownstone, Zavid, Carada, Jademin, Torsche and Shazlar Thirteens.

 

Then there had been the Equalus Thirteen who went insane to become the Fragmentori Thirteen and the Modestia Thirteen who turned evil to become the Perfectus Thirteen.

 

Then there were the Sanctuard Thirteen who had vanished in Sanctuarius.

 

There were others? Why could they not be remembered properly? There seemed to be odd gaps, contradictions, half truths in the knowledge of the Thirteen of Thirteen, that is those now considered to be of the Thirteen of Thirteen. The Fragmentori Thirteen and Perfectus Thirteen were no longer so but were there others and what was their status.

 

There were supposedly 'more than thirteen' of the Thirteens in truth but now only twelve were accounted for, even including the two Outcast Thirteens.

 

Then again there were hints of something called the Guardistar Thirteen and something else called the CentroRadius Thirteen along with something else known as the TriRingTri that might or might not have been a Thirteen.

 

Also what of OmniMultiple that the Perfectus Thirteen had created? What exactly was its real link with the Thirteen of Thirteen?

EyeotiiGama's projection avatar vanished as the trap was set firmly around the MultiTransCubeShip, as it was isolated inside a triple phase shielding of timespace randomized transitions. Such a trap, such a shielding, could not hold the MultiTransCubeShip for ever, far from it, but the trap seemed not to be designed to do so. It seemed to be designed to hold just long enough to hold something inside for a given period of time.

 

That could not be the Devlin or Brownstone Thirteen, or so they reasoned, but the far more powerful presence of RothuaRetirwa. The trap was set for RothuaRetirwa and not for them. In thinking this, they were not totally correct.

 

So for the moment the Devlin Thirteen would not be returning to the DC Wastelands and the Brownstone Thirteen would not be returning to the DC Sublands. Instead they would focus on dealing with the trap, exploring more of the MultiTransCubeShip and doing what else they could including trying to discover the nature and identity of the ones or one that had made the trap.

 

They managed to communicate with both the AlphaOmega Thirteen, and the Watchitii Thirteen, along with the Zavid Thirteen, despite the trap. It was done with more difficulty and for the moment nothing could be sent out though things could be sent into the MultiTransCubeShip though with increased difficulty. The trap was focused one way, which could hopefully be a weakness in it.

AARAA AARIE AARON AARAO OF THE ZAVID THIRTEEN

 

The Zavid Triplets first rejuvenate-duplicate-multiplied a three metre wide high cubecanister of damaged hitech parts, small weapons and condensed nutrients serums for basic vault-rations. Being of UnityNeo, it was really no surprise that the Overseers Government had learned of the Brownstone Triplets' ability to do this trick. What surprised the Zavid Triplets was how they guessed that the Zavid Triplets would probably have the same ability; they decided that the LifeVault0101A2 Overseer Government could exploit this trick.

 

The results were two cubecanisters full of brand new condition items along with two cubecanisters of basic vault items from foodbars, jumpsuits and pipboys to socks, stimpaks, stimgum, citboys, plugits to miniature roboremotes, holotapes and much else.

 

That was fine enough. The Overseers were pleased. Then they began to demand more and tensions arose as the triplets made it clear that they were quite limited in what they could do. They also pointed out that the ability to rejuvenate-duplicate-multiply anything took a good deal of their psionic energies. They would do the trick once a day and would expect some special extra rations to assist with the energy loss along with a reasonable boost in their vault-citizen allowances.

 

To their surprise the Prime Overseer stepped in and supported them. Then again he was clever and canny enough to see that the vault was better off with a steady, consistent, reliable supply of new improved resources than with one burst that would soon end.

 

They waited for their first mission and it did not come. Instead what came was that the Subways Unified Republic had sent an envoy taskforce to LifeVault0101A2 that had been halted just outside of the vault proper. Why? Because the taskforce had far too many SUR Guardsmen and fighting robots for the like of the Overseer Government. UnityNeo might run both the vault and the underground republic but they were still separate factions. All the vault factions supported the Overseers.

 

The Overseer Government turned out to be wise as the Subways Unified Republican Network Government demanded that LifeVault0101A2 surrender itself to the authority of that republic. The response from Prime Overseer Alphonse Almodovar was very abrupt and just a little colourful. The envoy taskforce were given some supplies and sent packing back to the Subways Unified Republican Territories.

AARAA AARON AARAO OF THE ZAVID THIRTEEN

 

Aaron and Aarao went with security officers, security guards and some specialists of varied kinds, into areas of the vault that did not officially exist. To get there they were driven in electric golfcars, called that because they were actually PreDoomsday manufactured golfcar like vaultcars along a major road tunnel of the vault.

 

Many vaultfolk had come to ride pedal-vehicles such as bicycles, big tricycles including delivery ones, and even such as four wheeled quadcycles. The use of pedal-vehicles in the straight, smooth vault ways, including the rampways, was energy efficient and very effective. The Overseer Government strongly supported the use of a mode of transportation that did not use power grid electricity, that was fairly easy to manufacture and to maintain, and which kept people fitter and healthier.

 

They departed from the common ways, from the common areas, and passed through a security outpost to an elevator that most vaultfolk did not know existed. The elevator shot them downwards and soon they were passing through areas where mostly roboremotes went, that is levels full of autorobotic network-systems such as life support, power grid and others.

 

At the edge of the flooded subvault, the two triplets were given survival power armour suits and other equipment, much of it in special lightly armoured backpacks. The security people staid behind as Aaron and Aarao went through a power-door airlock.

 

Soon they were wading through water filled hallway tunnels up to their armoured knees. They found sealed up network-systems, places where hardware and other items had been salvaged but soon they found areas that had resources that could have been salvaged but had not been. They wondered why until they came upon the half drowned skeletal remains sealed inside survival power armour.

 

Something big had attacked and killed the pair of vaultfolk despite their light power armour. The two Zavid Triplets examined the clues carefully and then Aarao spoke.

 

“Big, nasty mirelurks. The marks indicate it must be so. If any mirelurks were killed, clearly the other mirelurks dragged the bodies off to be recycled, as in eaten.”

 

“Not manifesticants but real mutated mirelurks.” Aaron looked around at the hallway tunnel. “Yet something tells me that it would take more than mirelurks to stop the Overseer Government from trying to salvage from or even to reclaim this whole subvault.”

 

Then they heard the bizarre screaming of agony and rage that was the muffled sound of a big powerful mirelurk adult fighting for its sheer survival.

AARAA AARON AARAO OF THE ZAVID THIRTEEN

LUCKY EDDIE

 

The mirelurk was not only dead but half devoured by the time that they got to where the brief but savage fight had taken place. When they saw what had killed the great creature, what had half eaten it with apparent ease, they were shocked.

 

He was a naked, slimly muscular young man who crouched over the mirelurk with crazy wild eyes. His body sparkled softly with just visible energies. He gripped a tough metal rod that he squeezed as if it was soft putty. The young man stared at the newcomers with mindless fear and rage.

 

But he did not attack.

 

Then he tried to talk but all that came out was a croak. The dusky white man looked briefly frustrated and then he wiped some mirelurk gunk off his mouth and spat into the water.

 

There was a small, elaborate tattoo on his left shoulder that read, in Standard English, LUCKY EDDIE and which was inside a black and white line drawing of a dragon.

 

This was Lucky Eddie, the young man of the giant mobile-phone, but he was far more filthy now and very much crazed.

 

Aaraa formed out of mid air as a young woman, as a sister figure to Aarao, and she spoke from inside her survival power armour; it was also a solid illusion as the rest of her was. “We need to get him to the MultiTransCubeShip as soon as possible. We can not afford to have the Overseer Government claim him. Luckily there are no functioning security network-systems in this area, either overt or covert in nature.”

 

Oddly, Lucky Eddie seemed to trust them. They revealed their faces through their helmet visors and Lucky Eddie smiled, especially at Aarao and Aaraa. He did not seem surprised at how Aaraa had appeared.

 

Aaraa sighed. “Clearly he is very joyful to see a woman. We must get him sent to the MultiTransCubeShip for I can 'sense' others coming. Yes, others are coming but I can not quite define what they are or how many of them there are.”

 

Lucky Eddie suddenly scowled and he turned to peer down the hallway tunnel. He picked up a cupful of water, threw it into the air, and with a sparkling shimmer it became a sparkling watery globe hovering in mid-air. Then it shot along the hallway with amazing speed, turned a sharp corner sharply and was gone from sight.

 

Seconds later the water globe returned just as quickly and Lucky Eddie swallowed it whole. Then he frowned and turned to the others. He spoke with apparent difficulty in Standard English. “Go now, quick! They come! I can deal with them but better you not be here. Lucky Eddie not very nice but Lucky Eddie is nice when compared to 'they'. Go now, please. Bring lovely young woman back later for hugging kisses and fun time. Bring...” He looked confused for a moment. “Go now. Do not come back until I say you can.”

 

'Sensing' great danger, and truth in his words, they retreated. They had also 'sensed' that this Lucky Eddie did really like them.
