Fallout Alternates: One 7.1 [9]

Alice Lyons revealed her secrets and a taskforce, both a Steel Troopers and a FEARIO platoon, went out to intercept Captain Daniel Robson only to find nobody. The charismatic leader, and his followers, had not shown up at the rendezvous point where Alice had expected to meet them. The taskforce returned with some scavenged loot, some local mapping data, and some other recorded data. The area had once been a multiple purpose use underground area with lots of storage chambers, utility networks, some secondary subway tunnels and stations along with shelters and a sewerage recycling complex.

Gangers had been there but had departed abruptly, leaving a few resources along with some warning graffiti that something very dangerous was in the area; it seemed the warnings meant the supermutants that had invaded the area but no assumptions were made.

Patrols continued in the area along with the careful placement of fortified sentry outposts that were quite close to other such outposts, giving outpost troopers a better chance for retreat to safety or quicker reinforcements arrival. The FEARIOs were soon focusing on patrols while the Steel Troopers staffed the outposts. All of the outposts were only a fairly short distance from the CCComplex.

FEARIOs began sending out search and collect forces, each seeking to learn what was happening and to collect useful data along with resources. One returned with a big collection of pristine quality Gronak, Captain Cosmos, Super Avengers, and other 3Dcomic magazines. Major Mum Sarah Lyons agreed with the FEARIOs picking up such finds as long as they agreed to sharing them with others, including herself.

The FEARIOs found, and brought in, some refugees who were fleeing from a mysterious, but dreadful, threat. Sarah studied the mixture of rough, tough, looking ghoulmans, humans, even some animans, being all ages and both genders. There was one android, a replicant, disguised as a human except that the other refugees knew of her true nature.

A small, outer, part of the CCComplex was converted into a secure place for the newcomers. They gratefully chose from locally scavenged items and gifts from stores. They drank hot beverages, clean water, and ate Grade A MREs. Clothing, blankets, footwear, small tools, toys, books, and other items were soon being used by those that had been seminomadic scavenger-hunters. They were soon using small alcoves and antechambers with basic facilities.

Sarah did not question the exhausted refugees but the leader, a tough looking man missing one eye and wearing an eye patch, wrote down some notes for her before meeting his personal needs. Something big, highly radioactive, dimly glowing, fast moving and extremely aggressive had been attacking everything it could; scavengers, scavenger-hunters, gangers, bandits, scavenger-traders, and others had suffered from the attacks. Even some powerful radbeasts, such as mirelurks and packs of ghouls, had proven to be vulnerable to the monster; that is if there was only one of them. There was no real evidence that there was only one of them.

Sarah had the sentry outposts reduced in number but each enlarged with more power armoured troopers, robots and weapon turrets. The FEARIO units were increased in size and given some special weapons, including mininuke-launchers only to be used with extreme need. Faster, smaller, scouting trios were to be extremely careful and to keep moving quick unless they needed to do otherwise.

The CCComplex was put on a higher alert, and defensive, status. That meant more supersoldiers, and troopers, doing patrol duties.

Sarah continued to seek answers to getting the thirteen safevaults open. The answers to the first was to come from a surprise source.

Fallout Alternates: One 8.1 [10]

A network of tunnels, in the CCComplex, accessed smallish and small chambers. At least half were basically fitted and ready for use. Others were fully fitted out utility chambers already helping to serve-support the complex. Yet others were storerooms but there were odd ones and even an exotic one. This last one was a basic square shaped room with a series of plates on one wall that was coded message. A team effort got the message decoded with some difficulty and thus SafeVault Mall CCComplex 13/9-9 was able to be opened; that is the decoding ended in the gaining of the entrance passcode that was partly password.

Alice was back in charge of the CCComplex, working hard to prove herself and get back her good name, though she was under careful scrutiny. Sarah was able to focus on being there when the copperish SafeVault door was opened and the taskteam entered being a mixture of Lyons Pride Steel Troopers, FEARIOs, and robots. The first space was a big security-quarantine airlock like chamber with another vault blast-door on the opposite wall from the first; it was typical of those found in all kinds of VaultTek vaults except there was a special feature with this one. To one side was a big alcove largely filled with thirteen diagonally placed status-capsules filled with jumpsuit wearing humans, all of them beautiful and youthful, with there being a mixture of genders, races, and more personal features.

The other side had typical lockers, small utility alcoves, doors to small utility antechambers, and even a store-charge bay with a programmable protectron.

The inner wheel-door, just as heavily armoured as the first, had yet another code and was copperish with a silvery circle at its center. In the circle was the new set of characters, set out as the others were.

Sarah stood, observing, as the humans began to awaken inside the status-capsules; they had begun to go through a destatus cycle as soon as the vault door had opened or so it seemed to be. As she stood there, with a pipgirl placed on one wrist, she was signalled that Alice wanted to talk to her. On the small 3Dscreen Alice was frowning softly. "Our people found an out of the way map tablets, in a small storeroom down the hall from the code plate room. They are basically accurate maps of the Washington CC area the secret subway and its well hidden stations plus other facilities. One is below the CCCitadel! Only trouble is that it notes that certain tunnels are non usable, by the monorail trains, and need to be repaired or just travelled through by other means. These areas also have danger symbols, of red skulls, but no detail of what the threats are. So did some of the working stations and we suspect rogue security network-systems might be at work there. A monorail train could get from here, to the nearest reachable station, in just five hours at safe response speed."

She meant a speed at which the train could be brought safely to a quick halt if it had to be. The map was only fairly accurate even according to information on the tablets.

Alice went on speaking. "On the back of each of the thirteen subway map tablets are some codes and other information. Perhaps some of it is to do with the SafeVault Doors. I am sending the tablets to you but can download data-recordings of them into your pipgirl if you authorise it."

Sarah smiled. "I will authorise it!"

So the data was downloaded and soon both the tablets had arrived and the status-capsule humans were a quarter of way to climbing tiredly out of the specialised containers.

Fallout Alternates: One 9.1 [11]

Sarah Lyons raised her battlerifle, as she and other Lyons Pride Steel Troopers entered the chamber of the false refugees. Alice Lyons had sent her the data, revealing their true identities, when data had been downloaded to Sarah's pipgirl about the tablets. The man, with the fake eye patch, was Captain Daniel Robson. Apart from the replicant android, the others were all Robson's loyal followers having taken on disguises, sometimes elaborate ones. FEARIOs already surrounded the group, aiming guns at all but the replicant android.

Sarah scowled softly at Daniel. "Captain Daniel Robson, Alice told us the truth about your scheme to take over the CCComplex except that I do not think that you told her the truth. The truth is linked to the android that you abducted from the CCCitadel Research Development Centre after enslaving her with dark programming software and a slaver clamp. For this crime alone you could be executed since the Orderhood of Steel has conceded that androids have rights as citizens of differing classes. The order, for your arrest and return to the CCCitadel, has been sent out by the Orderhood Elders Council."

Robson grinned. "Do you think I give a damn about the Orderhood of Steel and its petty laws? The truth would shock you!"

Sarah shook her head. "You, and your followers, are synth Type-5s being improved versions of the Type-4s. We found the remains of the real Daniel Robson and his genuine Followers. You dumped the bodies in a secondary cave chamber of a cave system below the CCCitadel. Some radshoom farming ghoulmans found them by following the stink of rotting flesh but radrats got there just before they did. They killed, and ate, the radrats then sent a message to the CCCitadel."

The fake Robson frowned. "I do not care about the activities of mere ghoulmans."

Sarah snorted. "If you had cared, about such matters, you may have guessed they would soon find the hidden bodies. The Orderhood Elders of Steel thus learned about your existence. From then on your every action was tracked. What you did to Alice Lyons we are not totally sure of but..."

Synth Robson frowned. "We love each other. The real Robson would have just used her, and killed her, but I love her. Nor do I hold it against her that she revealed our secrets."

The female captain shook her head. "Alice showed signs of what we call biological program-condition impressioning. It has been scrubbed from her brain, her mind, but it will be at least a year before she is fully recovered. What are you really after, synth?"

Fake Robson grinned. "Your Orderhood of Steel has no idea what it is up against. We were sent by the New Genesis Foundation to find out more about the alien orbs and what they have been up to. We were also sent to learn more about the vanishing force of supermutants, zyclops, and mutant hounds. The NGF is always willing to gain more information, including that of more esoteric nature. We are not the synths that you should fear."

Sarah nodded, as if more to herself than to the synth. "We know about the doppelganger synths that have nothing to do with the New Genesis Foundations or the three foundation factions that broke away from it."

Robson arched his eyebrows. "Well, you have been busy and lucky!"

Sarah shook her head. "Luck had nothing to do with it. We found a largely destroyed, abandoned, underground complex with an intact chamber. That chamber had data on PreDoomsday synth research development prototype production programs. Your kind of synths are totally synthetic, including smartmaterials such as synthetic flesh of your more sophisticated Type-4s and even more sophisticated Type-5s. Doppelganger synths are actually biosynths, that is an amazingly clever kind of cyborg type entity. They were created by a PreDoomsday faction known as the Secret Initiatives Foundation based in the NewBritain New Technologies Institution; that is, more accurately, beneath it in a very big bunker complex that was the one found by our people with the chamber of secrets. An unknown faction provided us with data leading us to the find and others of great value."

Robson shrugged. "Why bother telling me all of this? Why not just destroy me?"

Sarah sighed. "Because you are a doppelganger biosynth very cleverly disguised as a Type-5 synth. We know that the ways you enslaved the replicant android and took influence of Alice Lyon's mind, were developed only by the Secret Initiatives Foundation. Thus we knew what to look for, how to look for it, and that it linked you with the vanished SIF. Vanished, but to where? It could have been into space, deeper underground, into the future, by rift to another dimensional realm or some other crazy plan; we know pretty much everything was tried, by factions, attempting to escape from Doomsday."

The doppelganger, as now exposed, laughed and then visibly sobered. "Venus!" Then it 'died' as hundreds of microbombs exploded through out its body as if punishing it for revealing the secret that it had just done."

Sarah sighed. Terry Lyons, in the far off CCCitadel, had worked out a way that might trick a doppelganger into giving up its secrets; the trick was partly something fed to the unwitting biosynth along with a carefully worked out series of prompts and responses; it had worked out with surprising ease which made Sarah suspicious.

Which was when the white light energies flashed through the chamber, everything in it, and out through the walls from the small floating orb that had appeared. Again she found herself falling into comfortable, safe, oblivion.

Fallout Alternates One 10.1 [12]

Alice spoke from where she sat at the big round table of the newly renamed CCComplex, now being a CCComplex called the Lyons Sisters Complex, the LSComplex. "Changes have been mostly more subtle this time and Alice has totally healed from what the biosynth doppelganger had done to her. Robson is returned to us as a biosynth hybridisation of both the human Robson and the doppelganger synth. He is sleeping in a medical cell. The Type-5 synths are now loyal to us as is the replicant android and yet we do not, as yet, know why Robson abducted and stole the android except that it has some unusual upgrades. Perhaps the newcomers, woken from the status-capsules, can tell us something."

The thirteen awakened were of the PreDoomsday XFiles Investigations Agency, the XFIA. They were all enhanced, augmented, light class cyborgs. They were the forensics Doctor Dana Scully, Agent Fox Mulder, Agent Olivia Dunham, Agent Peter Bishop , Professor Walter Bishop, Assistant Professor Astrid Farnsworth Bishop , Director Phillip Broyles, Coordinator Nina Sharp, Assistant Director Warren Skinner, Agent John Doggett, Agent Monica Reyes, Security Agent Benjamin Rider and Security Agent Tasha Naftala. Only Director Broyles, Coordinator Sharp, and Professor Bishop sat at the table.

The genius scientist gave an absent smile to the uniformed Orderhood of Steel captain. "I have examined the upgrades and have concluded that they are designed primarily to store a great amount of heavily compressed data. That is up to 1,000 petabytes of electronic data. They are also designed for extremely rapid downloading-uploading of such data. There is one upgrade augmentation that appears to be unique in that it seems designed for very fast, mass, decoding of petabytes of data. My guess, given all that you have told me, that the android was meant to assist in the breaking of some kind of very sophisticated, large scale, code. Given the nature of the code, I compute that the code is most likely of PreDoomsday origin and is of very high security classification."

He looked around at one of the FEARIOs who was pretending not to stare at him. "Aaahhh, yes, as I suspected! Metaclone Type-5s. Super operatives of some kind. I was in one of the original cloning research development programs being subcontracted to the World Government Ministry of Science, Department of Research Development. That was before the age of miracles truly became the age of madness, before everything went to chaotic violence ending in the unleashing of the superweapons. We climbed into status-capsules, in a shelter, but did not really think that we would survive for already Doomsday had begun. A sphere-entity brought us back, fascinating, but why? Those entities do not do anything lightly, forgive the pun. Sarah Lyons, they call you Major Mum."

Sarah smiled and nodded. "I am their clone mother who loves them! Alice is Commander Auntie."

Alice smiled at that. "It is privilege to be so ranked and so well regarded! So you know of the orbs of light!"

Walter Bishop responded. "Not a great deal except that they have always appeared, sporadically, on the NewEarth. The frequency, of the appearances, and the numbers appearing, increased as the years passed but did so dramatically in the decade before Doomsday, which may easily have been more than one day thanks to the use of two timespace distortion superweapons and one transreality manipulation superweapon along with the advanced nukes, disintegraters, bilogicals, chemicals, nanobotic and other types. You say a great amount of data has been lost to you but, in truth, much of that data was only known to a tiny minority of the PreDoomsday populations. You retain, have regained, much of the more common type data though there have been some mistakes in your interpretations; understandable ones but ones that need to be corrected. The Silver Beatles did not do their last concert in 1985AD but in 1986AD on the OldEarth."

Sarah nodded. "I knew that! I have data-files of their 1986AD Finals Goodbye Album."

Walter smiled. "The 1998AD Finals Remembrance Album is better with improved sound quality. I have some data-files..."

Alice humphed softly. "If we can get back to mildly more important matters. The appearance of the supermutants army as led by an unknown dark entity, the appearance of the dark entity stalking the tunnels, and the appearance of the synths, how are they connected? The nature of the replicant android begs more questions than it answers. We need more data. I suggest that the mission to the CCCitadel is launched as soon as possible."

Which was when sirens began to go off alerting all that the LSComplex was under major attack. Following soon after that came calls for all personnel to go to defensive, and emergency, stations. In a very few minutes the chamber was empty.

Fallout Alternates One 11.1 [13]

It appeared to have been a false alarm and yet had been worth it as a practice run for a real crisis. The responsive effort had been good but not good enough as far as Commander Alice Lyons was concerned. Yet she could only call for a limited expanse in drills because staff resources were already stretched despite the presence of the added presence of the FEARIOs, the synths and the XFIA people along with others come in from the outside. More refugees came, including transformed ghouls and supermutants. They brought radroaches changed to furroaches, radrats turned to furrats and radmoles turned to furmoles. There were radchickens, changed to chickens, that had no fur on them. The orb-entities influence had spread quite a distance but in a fashion that seemed in ways to be rather sporadic in nature.

Sarah made her way down a secondary corridor, in her uniform and with out weapons, showing she was being peaceful. Then she was in a big secondary storeroom where three big creatures were happily chowing down on generally dreaded Grade-C MREs and Survival Emergency Foodbars (SEFBs) . The three big creatures had multiple mouths either chewing away or gaping open to have more of the awful rations chucked into them, boxes plus wrappers plus actual rations. The three big creatures easily devoured, digested it, all as FEARIOs kept opening up more lidboxes of the neatly stacked smaller boxes of rations. Other FEARIOs were busy washing them with powerful liquid soap, scrubbing them hard to cause the big creatures to shiver in delight.

The FEARIOs froze, looking at the newcomer for a short moment. Sarah smiled. "Continue on, sweeties, but from now on you can tell me the truth as I trust your judgement."

A clone turned to her, saluted, and then he explained. "Sphere-entities changed them for the better but even before that they were only frightened shaperbeasts being but cubs separated from their herd. We were finding a way to approach you with out alerting the traitors amongst your people of which we think there are at least two. We are sorry that we have to tell you this. They only attacked in response to attacks on them, retreating as quickly as they could. Also the Gangers were not talking about them when they warned about something dangerous in the area. The Gangers are of very tough gangs and yet canny enough to deal with such as shaperbeasts with out starting a fight. You opened a second SafeVault blast-door that has led to something to do with shaperbeasts."

Sarah sighed. "I am your clone-mother, remember, so I 'sensed' you were up to something; anyway you did not try to hide it from me, mindwise, which I appreciated. Newly gained data, the help of newcomers, opened up the second door to what turned out to be a surprise. That is another airlock type security-quarantine chamber much like the first but with an alcove full of equipment-supplies for looking after shaperbeasts. There is yet one more blast-door to get past and it also has the same type of information on the round door surface. I will have all the shaperbeast oriented equipment-supplies brought here. Do you know what threat the gangers warned of?"

The FEARIO responded. "According to these lost cubs it is at least one great and terrible monster that has swallowed up whole such as mirelurks, gangers, ghouls and other things. It is semitransparent in places and one can see the prey dissolving slowly away but the shaperbeasts got the impression, somehow, that the prey were not suffering, were deep in a peaceful mind state. The shaperbeasts were driven away from their herd when the monster attacked it. It might have been driven off, for adult shaperbeasts are truly deadly, but by that time the three older aged cubs were lost. They want their herd to come here and to be safe, especially some of the herd; they were reluctant to reveal it but we suspect that the three are rejected by many of their kind but their elderly mother, two sisters, a brother, and five others love them while a few others care for them, anyway."

Sarah nodded even as others arrived with the stuff for the shaperbeasts. Androids came to assist, as did robots, and Professor Walter Bishop was driven to come by his great scientific curiosity and love for creatures of all kinds.

Fallout Alternates One 12.1 [14]

Solar Federation spaceships came into Lunar Orbit being both the convoy from the Mars Colonies and the escort vessels previously sent out to protect it back. The biggest vessel was a jury-rigged structure, that was partly a powerful spacetug, in which the prize was concealed; that is if one could call the Greynari relatively small saucership a 'prize'; the damage saucership was only small by Greynari estimates but was massive by human measurements. There was something not just unnatural but antinatural about it; that is its very presence seemed antagonistic to nature, to the natural laws of the universe.

It was hard to look at for too long even through electronic means and extremely difficult to do so directly with the eyes. Electronics went odd with it and even heavily shielded robots went erratic at times, often experiencing troubles.

Maintenance complained that robotics, and other hardware-software-firmware 'too close' to the saucer malfunctioned far more often than the average and even more than in some more common type difficult conditions.

The Greynari were far more powerful, and dangerous, than the zetan aliens that had once served them before the zetans broke away in a wild bid for both freedom and long term survival; like other Greynari followings before them, the zetans came to realise that the Greynari could not help but to destroy them and then would replace them with new followers. The Greynari only feared, in their own hard to comprehend way, the berserker insane Greytari who supposedly served them but occasionally turned upon them, destroying many Greynari before they were all massacred.

Yet the Greynari saucer was heavily damaged as if a force had both burned it and crumpled part of its incredibly strong hull as if it was made of soft tissue paper. Thrust into it was a great black-purple glistening prong of unknown substance that visibly throbbed. Yet, as horrible as it looked, it was less disturbing to be close to than was the Greynari saucership itself. Metal plating sealed off holes in the saucership, being heavy human type manufactured type alloys done in a heavy industrial complex inside Phobos. Substances were sprayed onto the base of the prong to help keep it surviving. Floating there were three small glowing spheres but what they were doing, what influence they were having on things around them, was far from obvious.

Fallout Alternates One 13.1 [15]

Submajor Sarah001, a clone FEARIO, liked to be close to Major Mum Sarah Lyons to assist her. Sarah held the dead body, of the superclone, in her arms and stared coldly at the traitor who had tried to shoot her dead. Only Sarah001 had moved, with incredible speed, to intercept the powerful bullet with her body.

Steel Sapper Portamo Jollymont gave Sarah a scornful look. "Some of us are tired of the weakening of the true traditions of the Brotherhood of Steel. We staid with Lyons because of misguided loyalty and hope that he would not continue along this path of madness. Allowing women to hold higher ranks, to be in command of elite forces such as the Lyons Pride, holding talks with those harpies of the Sisterhood of Steel, declaring that ghoulmans are equal to humans, protecting advanced androids as citizens, giving precious resources to lowly Wastelands scum like settlers, all this and more have become too much for us. Elder Owen Lyons must be disposed of but firstly he needs to be wounded."

The exotic tingling of energies began deep inside of Sarah, or so it felt, and rapidly expanded through out her body. She spoke even as she felt the odd sensation of power growing with her. "My father gave you a second chance, along with others, after you betrayed him the first time. Most, of those forgiven, went on to prove themselves worthy of trust but we always had doubt about you. Who gave you the strange gun that so easily penetrated the special armour, and flesh, of a superclone?"

Around them was a big chamber where activity had halted. Manufactured items had been coming out of the factory, already neatly stored in special containers. There were plenty of lidboxes bound to be used by genuine refugees coming into the outer sections of the LSComplex to form there a settlement. A cave system was neighbouring it, being lit-warmed by glowcrystal, where glowshooms were already being cultivated along with penned radroaches, radrats, radshooms, pools of blind fish, pale muttfruit and other useful produce. There were fortified sentry outposts out there along with more general type service-support outposts.

The man gave her a puzzled look, shook his head as if confused. "I can not... remember. There was a pale figure, tall and angular but otherwise human like... very pale like an albino but sickly like... in a black stinking hoodrobe. He spoke to me of the need to kill you, of the need to... he gave me the strange black pistol and told me that it only had five rounds in it and that it would melt away as soon as the last one was used, which happened. No casings were ejected by the weapon." He shook his head. "It is time to die, yes it is time to die, I must die now as ordered to do so by the Paleman."

But even as he began to die, an explosion of exotic light energies flashed out from Sarah Lyons.

The would be assassin was healthy and changed, being reliable now. Sarah001 was standing next to Sarah and studying her with adoration that Sarah both appreciated and found mildly discomforting. The influence of herself seemed to be more limited than that of any of the glowing spheres or was it just more hidden and subtle? Sarah did not know!

The big chamber was active again but this time there were oversized powermecha helping to move even more containers before for the factory was enlarged by three extra big, and many smaller, chambers. The number of storerooms, full of resources, was also increased and there were another thirteen times thirteen androids along with three times thirteen times thirteen special multiple purpose robots being hovering multitrons.

Sarah001 spoke. "Beloved Major Mum, who saved my life, I was coming here with some surprising news of great importance. I suggest that you come with me to where the shaperbeasts are having their seventh nap of the daytime period. We have gained some surprising information from the beautiful adorable cubs."

Sarah hugged, and kissed the superclone on the cheek, having given up on treating the clones as she would Steel Troopers. Then they were on their way to the shaperbeasts. They went there using a small four wheeled, enclosed, robotcar as guided by the supercomputer network-systems of the base. Somehow it was no surprise that some of the XFIA people were there to meet her, including a worried Professor Walter Bishop.
