AARAA AARAO AARON AARIE OF THE ZAVID THIRTEEN

LUCKY EDDIE

GLORIA GODDESS THE GODDESS

 

“TriRingTri is what it is called. The Perfectus Thirteen designed and created it, in theory to bolster the strength of all of the Thirteen of Thirteen. The other Thirteens were not stupid and quickly realized it was a trick to capture their minds. Somehow, in the chaos of what has taken place, you Zavid Thirteen had TriRingTri placed on you. Except that TriRingTri largely failed to control you or to infiltrate your minds. Your strength as a Thirteen made sure of that.”

 

Lucky Eddie was changing nappies and Aaron assisted in this while Aarie and Aarao breast fed the quite small chubby muscular neobabies two at a time. Aaraa kept the other neobabies entertained with story time, projecting brightly colourful and basic animated images into the air.

 

Goddess Gloria the Goddess showed up briefly at a distance, dancing and whirling along with some rainbow skin coloured, naked nymph like zilphs; they were slimly muscular, slimly voluptuous, female figures moving with amazing grace and speed.

 

Then zilphs, blue coloured nymphs and green coloured dryads were showing up to attend to neobabies, along with smaller butterfly winged (or so it looked) sylphs. The sylphs flew low through the air, flittering here and there with amazing speed speed and agility. All of these female entities moved with amazing speed and agility.

 

“So the Perfectus Thirteen used the TriRingTri to try to control us.” Aarao shook her head. “Somehow that does not 'feel' right. It is as if we glimpsed the mentality trying to control us even as it glimpsed our minds.”

 

Lucky Eddie wiped a small baby nose with the hem of his floral dress, which somehow remained clean, and then kissed the small one on the forehead before he spoke. “Perfectus Thirteen did not try to trap you using the TriRingTri. I do not know what did but not them for the Perfectus Thirteen vanished years ago. Their actual fate is unknown as is the fate of many of the Thirteen Thirteens that actually number more than thirteen. Odd really. I should know more considering I invented the theory of the Thirteen of Thirteen in the first place. Realities collide in my mind. Contradictions arise and fall.”

 

Then he stood up abruptly. “Removing the TriRingTri damaged you more than you consciously know.” He had gathered up the TriRingTriRings and had slipped them into a strange metallic pouch but though it looked like a casual gesture, it did not feel like one. “You will need to remain here in Goddess Gloria the Goddess Gardens for a while so you may as well come with me to the Goddess Gloria the Goddess City.”

 

Then he paused before speaking. “By the way have you seen a mobile-phone around? I seem to have misplaced it; I do so much like my mobile-phone.”

PART ONE: THE TRUTH, THE WHOLE TRUTH AND NOTHING BUT THE TRUTH!?

LORD ARTISAR SAVISAR TREASAR ALPHAOMEGA OF THE ALPHAOMEGA THIRTEEN

 

Lord Treasar AlphaOmega had become fully aware of the entrapment of the Brownstone and Devlin Thirteens in the MultiTransCubeShip along with the inability of the Zavid Thirteen to leave Goddess Gloria the Goddess Gardens. The first was a trap of obviously a trap of some kind but the latter seemed to have been the work of the mysterious Lucky Eddie saving the Zavid Thirteen from the TriRingTri. That is from the TriRingTri but also the force that had been using the TriRingTriRings to try to enslave the Zavid Thirteen.

 

It seemed that the AlphaOmega Thirteen could not call upon any other of the Thirteens to assist them for they were either helpless or simply not there to be utilized or were dangerous, were even enemies.

 

The Fragmentori Thirteen were insane, erratic and secretive.

 

The Perfectus Thirteen may have been a threat but had apparently vanished a long time ago.

 

Lord Savisar AlphaOmega was still in the Sharp Island outpost base where she was attempting to learn what she could have what was happening on-in Amtriel. She was gaining consistent data-pulses from the Watchitii Thirteen.

 

There was odd news. The Enclaven had withdrawn its eyebots from the DC Wastelands with out explanation and for the moment the DC was quiet of the bizarre propaganda of President Eden Patriot.

 

Supermutants, zenmutants and metamutants from LifeVault0087B2 had withdrawn from attacking the DC Wastelands. The DC Wastelands became more peaceful but not peaceful. No PackRaiders had come for some months now and that added to the relative peace of the domain. Indeed no tribal raiders had come from the Virgin Highlands for some time and such as bandits, gangers, ghoulers, marauders, even zhouls, seemed less active. It was as if the very mutated monsters of the Wastelands sensed something big-bad was coming and were getting prepared for trouble.

 

Lord Artisar AlphaOmega was still in Sanctuarius and was overseeing the removal of status of peoples, androids and others from status-storage. Any hopes that those of 'higher intelligence' could clear up the mystery of how they had ended up in status, or what had happened to the Sanctuard Thirteen, was soon dashed. Somebody, or something, had erased memories and knowledge from their minds enough to stop them from knowing just what had happened. They could remember a peaceful, prosperous Sanctuarius where the Sanctuard Thirteen ruled quite wisely and were well respected by the peoples of Sanctuarius. These arisen ones were shocked to find the Sanctuard Thirteen were gone. The arisen were soon joining the populations and settlements inside the Sanctuaries of Sanctuarius.

 

Scully and Mulder were well into the process of organizing the new centre-complex for their new agency. They were soon being joined by other humans, androids, smart-robots, cyborgs and others. The rejuvenated men, the Lone Gunmen, had been enlisted to their cause being now much youthful, fitter and healthier than they had been.

JAEIO JAYLE JODIE JONNI OF THE BROWNSTONE THIRTEEN

DAMADA DAVAD DEMAR DELIA OF THE DEVLIN THIRTEEN

 

The two sets of triplets had TriRingTriRings but the devices were inactive, having failed to be effective. They were removed and the triplets felt no different. Why the TriRingTriRings were less effective on them than on the Zavid Triplets was not an easy question to answer.

 

They had weakened the entrapment barriers around the MultiTransCubeShip so that communications and teleportation were easier though still much easier to the MultiTransCubeShip than from it. Now the MultiTransCubeShip was more able to absorb solar energies, a function that had been made less efficient by the entrapment fields.

 

RothuaRetirwa stirred in his sleep, for he had begun to sleep, and suddenly the Devlin and Brownstone Thirteens knew that it had been RothuaRetirwa who had defeated the TriRingTriRings easily and smoothly. The RothuaRetirwa Followers, that had been in the DC Wastelands, had returned to the core of the MultiTransCubeShip to be with RothuaRetirwa.

 

RothuaRetirwa Followers informed the Brownstone Thirteen and Devlin Thirteen that for the moment RothuaRetirwa could not free the MultiTransCubeShip. This was because some enemy entity, of unknown type and identity, had somehow tuned into RothuaRetirwa's psionic energy signature to nullify him to a large extent. RothuaRetirwa was working to defeat this move, would do so in a way to make such tricks not work against him in future, but it would take time.

 

The huge mobile-phone turned out to have a series of 3Dmovies and 3DTV episodes recorded in its special solid-state drive.

 

There were fourteen episodes of a 3DTV science fiction show called ADNORMAL SANCTUARY, fifteen episodes of STARTREK ENTERPRISE, twelve episodes of SERENITY FIREFLY, two episodes of UNCIS along with some others.

 

One was called the GLIMMERING FOG and was about an alien fog that both caused people to become undead if they died in it and which protected the undead from sunlight that would otherwise destroy them. GLIMMERING FOG II had the appearing of the Glowing Mist, a counter threat to the Glimmering Fog, that created and supported anti-undead such as damphirs.

 

There was a Japanese animated 3Dmovie called DRAGON EMPIRE which was about a dynasty of Imperial Dragons fighting against treacherous imperial factions, rogue dragons and powerful wizards who would enslave dragons.

 

There were some moderate pornographic 3Dmovies, animated, live and mixed, called SCHOOL GIRLS NIGHT IN, SCHOOL GIRLS NIGHT IN 2, GIRLS WANT TO HAVE FUN, NAUGHTY NURSES OF NIGHTINGALE HOSPITAL, NAUGHTY NURSES OF NIGHTINGALE HOSPITAL 2, NAUGHTY NURSES OF NIGHTINGALE HOSPITAL 3, NAKED GIRL CITY, PLAYGIRL PARTY STRIP DOWN, CARRY OFF NURSES, CARRY OFF WOMAN DOCTORS, CARRY OF LOVING, CARRY OFF SCREAMING, CARRY OF COWGIRLS, CARRY OFF STEWARDESSES, WICKED WITCH WOMEN, STAR TREKKIN BABES and some others.

 

It became clear that part of the data in the mobile-phone had been carefully and deliberately erased but fragments remained anyway hinting that Lucky Eddie had written of something called Project Gathering Moss, the title being a code name having nothing to do with the real nature of the project.

 

They continued to examine the mobile-phone for they 'sensed' that Lucky Eddie had been both cunning and brilliant, that there was more yet to discover in that strangely oversized device.

PART ONE: THE TRUTH, THE WHOLE TRUTH AND NOTHING BUT THE TRUTH!?

PRIMUS PERIA PIENA PEVER OF THE PRIMA THIRTEEN

 

The three grinned at each other. They had transduplicated a 3x3 metre cubecanister of luxury goods and had gained two cubecanisters of the same and two cubecanisters of basic vault items. They would consume the luxury items themselves or allow them to be consumed by their pet humans, elite followers and special friends. The idea of transduplicating vital items to keep the vault functioning more smoothly or for the common people, did not occur to them. If it had done so, they would have dismissed it.

 

The beautiful ones wore decadent expensive stuff and sat in a large luxurious chamber full of hardware that would have done better serving the LifeVault they were in.

 

Primus spoke into their minds.

 

Primus: *You could consider transduplicating some vital parts for LifeVault0087A1.*

 

The triplets scowled almost as one. They had no desire to look beyond their own immediate pleasures and status unless they had to do so. On the other hand the LifeVault they were in, that they were oppressing, did need parts of the sewerage network-systems.

 

Peria giggled madly for a moment. “Let them eat s***.”

 

The others laughed, a rather nasty sound.

 

Piena scowled extra, his beautiful face twisting briefly into ugliness. “Next time we transduplicate, we do the vital sewerage network-system parts. These stupid vaultfolk are becoming far too demanding. Perhaps we should punish them again.”

 

The vaultfolk were UnityNeo in majority when the Prima Thirteen had taken over using TriRingTri and forces of QuasiUnity Clones, psioniczati of the zatizats, synthetic-psychic instrumentalities and synthetic-psionic devices. The Prima Thirteen had rounded up NonUnityfolk and UnityNeofolk who would be a threat to them, and had them terminated. Primus had advised against this supposed easy solution and the triplets were now forced to admit that doing so had created a whole lot of martyrs. The rebel networks and fighting forces were proving to be far holder to destroy then the Prima Triplets had first assumed they would be.

 

The three scowled at each other in mutual rage, self pity and confusion.

 

Then everything changed in an instant.

PRIMUS PERIA PIENA PEVER OF THE PRIMA THIRTEEN

 

Primus appeared as a young woman, a fourth triplet, and smiled at the two brothers and one sister. “The observing intruder is gone. You can remove your TriRingTriRings.”

 

They did so and as the triplets did so they lost their dark looks. At once they threw off the foolish clothes to reveal vault-jumpsuits beneath. Piena looked around at the fancy hardware in the room, many showing flashing lights or small active screens. Most of it was fake. They were fake.

 

A door slid open and in came Trisha Perrin, supposedly the much hated leader of the rebellion. She was pushing a curious looking device on a small trolley. She smiled at the triplets and at Primus. “A very good performance.” Then she lost her smile. “Yet how long will it continue to fool the unknown one, or ones, who you supposedly serve?”

 

Piena went to the one of the two cubecanister that supposedly held luxury goods. He opened it and took out one of the much needed sewerage network-system parts that the vault needed. “We have no way of knowing, as we have already stated, or even if we have already been discovered. We have decided we will no longer try deception because it is getting too hard to carry out and we are starting to weaken. There is too much danger in continuing such tactics.”

 

Trisha nodded. “Accepted! Others may not agree but the majority of the Leadership Council will do so. Your fake invasion and occupation of this place has given us much. The QuasiUnity clones and psioniczati are safely in virtual reality restraint, the synthetic-psionic and synthetic-psychic devices are deactivated and stored well apart from their keycards and some vital parts. The resources that you brought with you have done much to enrich our lives.”

 

Pever spoke. “Thank you but we did all of this as much to free ourselves as to assist UnityNeo. I would not willingly be helpless puppets or make others into helpless puppets.”

 

Trisha smiled. “I want to show you our latest counter device to synthetic-psionic and synthetic-psychic technologies.” She tapped some buttons on a keypad and the top opened up, a rounded silver metallic disk rising up into the air on a metallic shaft. “Now, to get it functioning so I can show you what it does, I press this.”

 

Trisha pressed a button, there was a flash of energies and the Prima Triplets collapsed even as Primus vanished.

PRIMUS PERIA PIENA PEVER OF THE PRIMA THIRTEEN

 

The Prima Triplets awoke to find themselves lying on advanced medical beds being attended by humans in white jumpsuits and medic-robots. Trisha was standing in the background looking concerned but not overly so.

 

She spoke as the triplets, naked but covered by white sheets for the sake of modesty. “I am sorry for the deception but the TriRingTriRings you removed were fake. You were still wearing real TriRingTriRings. We have removed the real ones now. The Primus you were communicating with was a false Primus. The real Primus has been suppressed for many years and will it take time and energy for her to become fully strong once more.”

 

A weight of deception, darkness, oppression had been removed from their minds that they had not known existed until it was gone. They were angry now, not just for themselves but for Primus. Yet they knew that ahead lay a period of quiet rest and restoration, of a growth of strength.

 

They went back to sleep.

 

Trisha spoke to somebody close to her, somebody who was there and yet not there also, somehow. “The TriRingTri Operation failed badly, partly thanks to your interference, but the One True Enemy is hardly defeated. They still sow deception, chaos, carefully manipulated factions and yet do we know who they are or what they or what they wish to achieve?”

 

“We of the Circling Circling, we have been following trails to find the evil behind the evil behind the evil.” The voice of the one who was both there, and not there, was oddly muffled and was also disguised. “UnityNetwork has much left to do to try to cleanse UnityNeo of dark elements of internal, external and mixed influences. The True Thirteen of Thirteen will be strong allies to you but it is going to take a long time, this war that is both secretive and more open. RothuaRetirwa is important to Unity as are such as Lucky Eddie and Goddess Gloria the Goddess but you are also important to them. They have suffered far too much for the bad that they did, as have others, are but child-adults trapped in a situation they were largely tricked into by the One True Enemy.”

 

The voice went on. “I must go now. We will send you more resources through the Lamplight Caverns Stargate. You need to focus strongly on making sure that the Prima Triplets recover as much as possible within a reasonable time. The process can not be rushed but I 'sense' you are fully aware of this.”

 

Then the entity was truly gone, just like that. Trisha sighed and stepped closer to the triplets and watched them with concern on her face. Yes, she was of UnityNetwork, of stronger more organized Unityfolk rising inside of UnityNeo and amongst UnityNeofolk. But UnityNetwork, often called UnityNet, was still only a relatively small and weak proportion of UnityNeo and thus was fairly vulnerable; it had much work to do, much of it dangerous, before it could become stronger, more secure and more effective.

OBSERVITTI EYEITIIALPHA OF THE WATCHITII THIRTEEN

 

The DC Wastelands were oddly quiet and peaceful for the Wastelands. That did not mean total peace and quiet, far from it, for it was still the Wastelands. Regulators, traders, settlers, nomads, tribals, Outcasts of Steels and others were all reporting less aggressive activity by all kinds of threats. PackRaiders, and such as supermutants, seemed to have vanished from most areas and savage feral ghouls, zhouls, were less prone to coming out of their toxin ridden home undergrounds. The Enclaven was gone from the area, including its eyebots.

 

The tensions between the URDC and other factions were lessening as the URDC suddenly withdrew a large number of unreasonable demands. The URDC even made some concessions in order to get relations back onto a friendlier level.

 

Yet there were indications that not all was well, that something troublesome was coming, as if this was the 'peace before the storm'.

 

Those of more sensitive psychic nature, those known for special psychic abilities, some UnityNeofolk tapping into Unity-psychic fields, and others, were have troubling dreams or even nightmares of amazing vivid nature. The subjects varied except they were all about threats, wars and other troubles coming to the DC Wastelands. Yet they also presented others coming to fight the threats. A consistent theme, in the background or foreground, were the GlimmeringFog and GlowingMist. Apart from that there was a great range of inconsistency and some of the foreseen events, entities, were most exotic.

 

Professor James Zavid, and his group, emerged in Megaton in disguise and with fake identification documentation. They rented a house in Outer Megaton and had a meal, with drinks, at the BRASS LANTERN DINER. They retired to the house, after that, for a long rest after buying goods at the OUTER MEGATON GENERAL STORE.

 

Argyle, Herbert Daring Dashwood, the Jade Sisters and K9191, came back to the DC Wastelands in a battlebuggy. Or at least Argyle and Herbert did for the others had come from elsewhere. Argyle's fake dead body lay in the fake Rockopolis, the underground hiding place of slaves and other ghouls along with such as DomniCommonwealth runaway androids and those hiding from the Tenpenny Family's paid assassins. The fake living Herbert was, ironically enough, dwelling as a mad old man in Tenpenny Towers that was surrounded by Tenpenny Town, the settlement where those lived who served the Tenpenny Family but who were not wealthy or otherwise worthy enough to live in the Tenpenny Towers. They were well disguised, the pair of them, because they had to be. If the Tenpenny Family, and the DC Syndicates, learned that they were actually alive and well, about the fake corpse and live mad man, then the hunt would be on again.

 

Sarah Lyons, and the Lyons Pride, had returned to the DC Citadel. Since everything had gone quiet, the operation that they had shared with the Ironsides Mercenaries, had been called off. The Orders of Steel DC continued to alter, adapt and upgrade the huge, mostly underground, fortress they were in while extending old and putting new operations into the DC Wastelands.

 

Monitor vessels, squarish heavily armoured gunboats dotted with turrets, began operations up and down the DC River from as far as Arefu Bridge, the actual great bridge where the settlement of Arefu was based, to DC Citadel Port and onwards to RivetCity and then the DC River Islands. Of course there were other settlements that were passed, even visited.

 

Sisterhood of Steel air-patrols were becoming more common. Helicopters, aerocopters, adapted civilian aeroplanes and even some vertibirds were used. Sisters of Steel began to escort civilian air-convoys and Monitors, along with faster, lighter armed and armoured, gunboats began to escort river convoys.

 

The Orders of Steel DC began a series of internal reforms with in various Orders and the structure of the OSDC as a whole.

OBSERVITTI EYEITIIALPHA OF THE WATCHITII THIRTEEN

 

In Bethesdatown, with a sparkling shimmer, three Beetlecars and two tiny one person Bugcars, appeared with a variety of civilians and two big old trucks with a variety of soldiers. Except that each Beetlecar was pulling a small family holiday caravan, each Bugcar was pulling a very small box-trailer full of a wide variety of goods and each military truck was pulling both an ammo-trailer and a 105mm howitzer weapon. The materialization had begun again in Bethesdatown.

 

Except there were also two nine metres wide, nine metres high, cubecanisters full of basic Wastelands survival and military gear. There were also five prefabricated modular shipping-crates of older design, each five metres wide and high, ten metres long. These latter were filled with an amazing array of PreDoomsday gear from small vehicles, robots, books, holotapes to pop-up toasters, cans of instant coffee, tubs of ever soft butter, medical kits, clothes and much much else.

 

Except there were also fifteen floating globe shaped globerobots, each being three metres across and twenty hunched, red boneskinned creatures, hulking powerful with thick muscular bodies in body-armour and carrying large guns adapted for their use.

 

URDC Guardsmen approached the new arrivals with great care but nothing bad happened. The civilian and military newcomers were glad to become URDC citizens. The cubecanisters and shipping crates were welcome resources as were the vehicles and the two howitzers.

 

As for the globerobots and the hulknoids, they were clearly not interested in joining the URDC but were not aggressive either. They seemed to be waiting patiently for something to happen further. Then, with out warning, the blue globerobots and hulknoids vanished with sparkling shimmers of energies.
