Alisa sat in one of two splinterclone, auxiliaries, shared bedrooms in the CSS Bluevoyager along with some splinterclones and auxiliaries. MrLFM sat on a chair that had materialised with him, almost as if he had always been there. He spoke quietly but all there heard it. "In the Originating Realm, that includes the Originating Basinland but also much else, all speak the same language but all speak the same way at the same time. Have any of you noticed any other oddities about this amazing realm?"

 

Ashlie spoke. "Those strange entities such as the oximorons and the cliches!"

 

MrLFM nodded. "Those are strange creations of two stranger factions, one of Gamegods and the other of Gamelords. Yet those creations, and their dumping here, is more of a side-effect of the Originating Realm. What have you been seeking since Ariser13/1/1 materialised here in the Originating Basinland area?"

 

Alisa frowned. "Zerotech of which we have found one Zerobomb but that is in a safe place."

 

MrLFM: "How do you know it is in a safe place?"

 

Alisa gave the exotic entity a startled look. "We just took it for granted. Is it safe?"

 

MrLFM: "Yes but only because I diverted it to an actual safe, secure, location. It has been safely disarmed and dismantled, its components either totally recycled or in the long term process of being made a great deal more harmless. It was good that you left the Zeroboco in Dinkyblue where that piece of demiZerotech will do good now that it has been set to rights and locked down. The GGG were insane enough to interfere with it but they were under the influence of the SecretEnemy that serves the GreatEnemy. Yet the twisted nature, patterns, of the Originating Realm are not of their making and neither are they caused by any kind of Zerotech including the most potent-rarest types."

 

Alisa: "What of the GaiaOrder?"

 

MrLFM: "You can trust them fully; they are allied to the LFF. The Originating Realm has a very strong link to the creation of the whole Gamerealm that should not exist; it only does because it is its own pocket transdimensional realm with its own sets of natural laws; yes, more than one set of natural laws. The Gamerealm is fundamentally unstable and one of the mysterious is, even to the LFF, is how it manages to survive when that should be impossible."

 

Tanya: "What are 'the Rritew that ever battles the evil Rditoe,and the even more evil Rublishep, in order to reach false godhead as the Ruthoa?"

 

MrLFM: "As far as one knows, in turn, the Writer, the Editor and the Publisher; the writer is attempting to reach the false godhood of being the Author; while, on the surface, this makes some kind of sense it is answer that leads to many more questions than it solves."

 

Fantama: "What of the CokaCola PepsiCola War? On the OldEarth, during the 20th Century AD, there was a 'commercial war' between two drinking making companies of those names?"

 

MrLFM: "Again, one has to state that the LFF has not found any real answers and the same is true for our allies and others that we have reliable information from. Thank you for adopting, protecting, all those that you have. For that alone I can-will give you some special gifts through the Gamesystem and, more directly, through the LFF. I must leave you to trying to find your way, safely, to the bottom of the Deepblue Great Lake. Hopefully at least some of the gifts will help you. Even with there being 13 of me, one is always busy."

 

Then MrLFM was gone almost as if he had never been there.

The CSS Bluevoyager was not changed with its outside appearance but it was better armoured-armed, faster, more agile and otherwise upgraded. It also had lots of equipment-supplies added being mostly supplies. Yet the task of examining the half sunken, barely floating, river pirate boat was not an easier task especially with all the floating bodies that looked both partly burned and eaten.

 

Splinterclones moved carefully around the upper decks and carefully examined the water. There was something very nasty down there, something that was in its own element where splinterclones would be at a disadvantage. Something rippled through the water, close to the surface, as if teasing the splinterclones; it was doing just that. Then it was gone along with the others of its kind.

 

Alisa spoke to the rest of Ariser13/1/1. "The death-destruction you see her was a warning to us to back off. I do not know how I know this but I do know it with dead certainty. Those things, that did the damage, that were down there, are minions of the SecretEnemy. They destroyed the pirate boat, killed all those on board except a boy, a cat and a dog, in seconds. Time to rescue the boy, the cat and the dog."

 

Toby was a quietly sullen young boy, Tabby was a quietly friendly cat and Trover was a small moody dog but whose moods swung from good to sulky. Soon they were teleported to the Risercube/1. Useful loot was given over to the crew of the riverboat to use. They began carefully towing the wreck to the nearest settlement. Soon they were there and were passing on news of what had happened.

 

Understandably none were happy for the Longblue River was of vital importance not only to the Blue Settlements but to smaller river shore communities, farmholds, mineholds, inland settlements and other places. VIPs were quick to hold meetings, make promises, blame each other and to get nothing much done of a positive-practical nature.

Gaiasister Gaiaselena closed her normal eyes, opened her third eye, and looked into the depths of the Longblue River. She was now on the 'LFF gift changed CSS Bluevoyager' that remained property of the GaiaOrder and its secret side of the Gaiawatch. Gaiawatchers had special extra training and had to be very experienced, talented, before being chosen for such a task. Gaiaselena had once served as a Gaiawatcher before going back to being a standard serving Gaiasister.

 

She closed her third eye and opened her normal eyes. "Long, black, serpentine creatures with long tapering tails and two double jointed arms along with one sleekly aquadynamic head. Large, sharp, fangs. They carry weapons of that look organic as if made of the same substances, and in the same way, that they are."

 

Alisa nodded. "They are shapechangers able to adapt to being glider-flyers, climber-runners or swimmers along with other variations. They grow weapons, tools and other items from their own bodies though they will use others. Trishoopers were a biotech living weapon as developed by the same scientists who developed the Splintermass. If they are here then so is the dark influence of the Tridomni, the dark alliance of cybermen, daleks and Exori are here."

 

Gaiaselena shook her head. "These trishoopers are suing for peace. MrsLFW (Mrs Little Fat Woman) helped them escape from a Tridomni invasion staging zone and to come here. She even knitted some special gifts for them such as a long range stealth submarine. They have information that hostile forces are on their way from the north-west but have been held up fighting the savage tribal humanoids of that area such as the Bankmanagi, Taxinspecti and the Parkinginspecti. Those peoples are very adapt at striking unexpectedly at their victims, coming seemingly from nowhere to cause havoc."

 

Alisa sighed. "This world gets weirder by the day or is it that we are just uncovering its weirdness day by day?"

 

Gaiaselena smiled. "Both! We, of the GaiaOrder, used to assume that we had a strong general understanding of at least this region of the NewEarth but we have had to humbly let go of that opinion over 100 years ago."

 

Alisa nodded. "Lets negotiate with the trishoopers!"

 

Gaiaselena nodded. "Excellent idea! They have eggs, and larvae, to protect along with oldsters that they did not want to sacrifice for the victory of those that they have come to despise. They also have some important information about the Deepblue Great Lake and could assist in that operation."

 

Alisa nodded. "Then lets get on with it!"

The threat to the Longblue River, as a trade-travel way, led to the patchwork government of the area being pushed aside by the urgent rise of a series of Local Leadership Councils that in turn sent representatives to a Regional Leadership Council. The Dinkyblue Mayor was thrown into jail along with a few of his cronies; his wife became the new mayor and few thought this was coincidental. Sheriff Offices were strengthened in size, range of skills and in other ways. The Ranger Force were created as a paramilitary unit doing its own work but also supporting the Sheriffs and the Militias. The Militias were greatly strengthened being made up of Local Militias, the River Militia and a few other developing ones.

 

The kraken were giant squid like entities and three nests worth dwelt in the Deepblue Great Lake. They were allied to the upside down people, the Downsidus who used to be the Upsidus when they lived right way up, to the dolphin tailed merfolk and some others including humans living on the shoreline including a few in Sureblue. The trishoopers knew that battles had recently taken place between members of that alliance and terrible things coming up from the depths of Deepblue. Perhaps some had been human once, along with dogs and other animals, but now they were more than just unnatural they were antinatural.

 

Alisa stood on the bridge of the CSS Bluevoyager and looked out over the wavy surface of the great lake that stretched so far into the distance that the far shore was not visible or at least not with the naked eye. "The trishoopers helped fight the Deepthings more than once but they had too many losses. The alliance, against them, is being forced aside and that will mean that soon the creatures will be able reach the shoreline. Volunteers, from the shoreline, went out in longboats and used what weapons they could to help fight against the threat but of the tree boats, two were sunk, and far too many were killed."

 

Gaiafairia spoke even she spoke while looking down into the depths of Deepblue with her third eye. "Those Deepthings are in terrible agony of mind-body-spirit. It is the constant torment of their existence that has driven them into being evil. The only way to help them is to kill them but such would be merciful. What would have created them?"

 

Alisa frowned. "Zerotech such as a Zerobiolator or a Zeroclonator but more likely some kind of less standard, more experimental, Zerotech prototype."

 

The Gaiamother frowned. "The Splintermass has no clear memories, or knowledge of, the origins of Zerotech or how it was developed except that it first arose during the 23rd Century AD of the OldEarth?"

 

Alisa nodded. "The Age of Scientific Miracles and Madness, the ASMM, culminated in that century in the Doomswar that ended in the Doomsyear that was, in theory, the year 2289AD. Nobody seems to know for sure but is true for a great deal about the past. There was another tale, about the Deepblue, that was supposedly a false one; that is the Great Reaching Tube that comes up to the surface every few months to suck down air into the depths."

 

Gaiafairia nodded. "Gaiawatch tried to thwart that tale after some fool adventurers were sucked down that tube and were never seen again. There is worse. A tube, that may or may not be the same one, sometimes arises to spit out lumps of slimy, stinking, substance that is highly toxic and must be carefully picked up by the Gaiawatch and stored away near to Sureblue."

 

Alisa nodded. "I wish to speak with the captain's brother in Sureblue so why not meet him and have a look at some of the toxic substance?"

 

Gaiafairia nodded. "Be gentle with that man!"

 

Alisa snorted. "And here I was, planning to harass him; you are no fun!"

 

Gaiafairia sighed.

Splinterclones, in Risercube/1, were now doing many tasks so decided to carry out the dangerous task of reproduction through the clonesplintering process of known as the Splintering by the Splintermass. Except that Supertinzi had done something positive, to all of the splinterclones, and one of the LFF gifts also assisted being a device attachable to a clonesplinter mechanism. There would be no agonising deaths or the production of damaged splinterclones or worse, abominations.

 

First splintercloning, of that first batch effort, created two new individuals from the one being Freda and Barni.

 

Second splintercloning, of that first batch effort, created three new individuals being Sajmo, Samit and Sonji.

 

Third splintercloning, of the first batch effort, had a surprise result of 19 very small, chubby muscular, baby like splinterclones because clearly Supertinzi wanted some special company. They became named Babsy/1 to Babsy/19. Alice was soon the splinterclone with general care of them and the other newly cloneborn splinterclones but other splinterclones took turns in assisting. Then so were members of the Rank Scavengers, the Scruffies, the trishoopers and others.

 

The Babsy/19 floated through the air at times, causing some disturbance especially if they had dirty nappies. They were gently firmly kept attached to individuals who walked with them or they walked around on table tops cleared for them, sometimes playing in small tabletop sandpits. Only sometimes was Supertinzi directly with them but it seemed, somehow, he was always with them.

 

SSVR capsules were used by many now to experience Sensory Stimulation Virtual Reality realms for multiple reasons, often more than one at the same time.

 

Saltis, Rubin and Ramsey went into a WDC like realm in which they gained loot, with increasing difficulty as their levels became higher, avoided threats and overcame other obstacles. Splinterclones sometimes went with them as did others and-or others including Rank Scavengers, of course.

 

Hattie sat with Supertinzi and some of the Babsys along with a couple the animals. A trishooper crouched peacefully next to Moomoo, being a subadult, as it gently-firmly used a tentacle to milk special concentrated milk from the radcow that was far from a normal radcow. Supertinzi had transformed her and while Moomoo ate special concentrated food, she could produce special concentrated milk for Supertinzi to drink or others to consume it after it was broken down; the super concentrated milk could kill a mortal with one gulp of the substance.

Etelus stared at Alisa quietly and steadily. Then he spoke. "I do not wish to remember. Why should I do so? I am comfortable here in the Sureblue Gaiatemple. The Gaiafollowers take good care of me and I work in the gardens, make leather goods and do other chores for them. I will say nothing!"

 

Alisa smiled and, with amazing speed, exposed her firm rounded breasts to him.

 

Etelus smiled even more. "I have only poor memories of what happened. I was an arrogant young fool of a man who decided that plunging into the very depths of the Deepblue made sense. I was skilled enough to copilot the amazing submarine that was provided for our use. We reached the vast sleepership after being attacked by terrible creatures more than once. Then we were... to an airlock. After that there was the pale blue mist, the screaming of mind-body-spirit, the things shuffling in the mist..." He shuddered. "I can say no more even with such a wonderful enticement as you offer."

 

Gaiafairia sighed. "Wonderful enticement, indeed!"

 

Alisa smiled and covered her breasts. "You have told me more than enough. I would offer you more but that young Gaiasister over there would get even more jealous."

 

Gaiasister Gaiatanya blushed softly. Then she went over to Etelus and sat with him. She whispered into his ear and he blushed softly as she was already doing. Then he nodded rapidly. So it was that Etelus and Gaiatanya were soon to be married.

 

Alisa knew what was heavily implied by what the man had described and was now deeply concerned. Outside of that room she spoke to Gaiafairia. "Take me to that toxic waste at once, please."

 

But when they got to where the heavily armoured drums were supposedly secretly hidden in a very heavy, steel reinforced concrete chamber underground, it was only to find that three the drums had been stolen. Alisa sniffed the air and shuddered. Eight, of the large containers, were still there.

 

She spoke. "That sleepership has a Zerogenerator in it, a less lethal but still extremely dangerous mobile version of a Zerotower. We have to get down there and destroy it before any more zerobominations escape or the desolation itself escapes. Masses of free energy for nothing, that was the promise, and it ended up bringing mass death, destruction, disruption, displacement and despair along with fates worse than death. We need to stop that happening to this region."

 

The Gaiamother nodded. "You really are strongly linked to the LFF."

The stealth submarine spiralled downwards through the deepening waters of Deepblue, passing a patrol of kraken looking out for abominations coming up from below. There was a quick exchange of communications to the 13 splinterclones, two cyborg-dogs, two androids and four trishoopers inside. Then they were joined by three small glowing spheres, pulsating with rainbow light patterns. Somehow they all knew that Supertinzi was involved but not why.

 

The vast bulk, of the sleepership, was largely buried into the floor of the Deepblue and yet so big was the GloriaSister III that it could be clearly seen with the some of the submarine's aquascopes even when it was still a great distance below. They began to see wrecks of vessels strewn across the floor of the Deepblue, many of them quite large in their own right. Abominations drifted amongst them, the bigger the slower, and fought each other in frenzied attacks and counter-attacks. They were Deepthings and they somehow failed to detect the submarine.

 

They were forced to go through bizarrely distorted growths of plant like material blended with animal flesh and other substances. Tentacles lashed lazily at the submarine and some clutched small Deepthings that were being slowly devoured as the victims shuddered in pain. In turn Deepthings would dive at the Plantthings and race off after biting off chunks of them causing them to writhe in pain.

 

The airlock was soon docked at and then the operation began. Drilling through the inner door, they thrust through a special pipe and then began to jet a glowing yellow-white gas into the sleepership. The Splintermass had dealt with such threats before. Only after a while did seven of the splinterclones enter, in power armour, along with auxiliaries and one glowing yellow-white sphere.

 

The dreaded blueness was gone, swept away, but a feeling of hollowness remained behind it along with the dead remains of hundreds of former human zombies. Even power armour, spacesuits and hazmatsuits had not saved them from a fate worse than death as the Zeromist got to them sooner or later. They had not been able to escape and it soon turned out that they had been sealed off from escaping by huge, heavy, emergency security-safety powerdoors.

 

The yellow-white sphere turned out to be a Babsy transformed into another shapeform as it helped the splinterclones hack into computer network-systems, fully reactivate robots, find valuable data to study and quickly learn that something had gone terribly wrong with the sleepership.

 

When dead zombies began to vanish away with yellow-white flashes of light it was evident that Supertinzi had been active through Babsy/12. When some returned as enhanced humans, soon joining the mission, it was clear she had also dealt with such situations before but how was that the case?

 

When they had explored that first area, they settled down to further examine it, finding plenty of useful resources as they did so.

 

It was Alisa who discovered evidence that there were survivors in other parts of the sleepership.

Hallway by hallway, chamber by chamber, the group moved through the next section onwards. They jetting glowing yellow-white gas or fired xolaserguns that burned away both zombies and the gas. Their own robots, and activated ship ones, assisted. The androids and robots were less at risk than were the cyborgs and splinterclones but even they had inherited greater resistance through Splintermass genetics.

 

Alisa spoke. "Treachery! Somebody made sure that shipboard safety security network-systems, and procedures, were bypassed so that the Zeromist could spread further. Except that the treacherous efforts were blocked from going everywhere. A cyber battle was waged but who-what was fighting who-what?"

 

The computerised voice spoke from speakers around them in the secondary control chamber they were in. "I am the Central Direction Coordination Supervision Computer Network, the CDCSCN, of the sleepership but I am often called CeDiCoSu for short. The enemy was wily, the enemy was swift, but I fought them heroically and saved two thirds of the ship! I think I earned a whole chest load of medals but alas I have no chest to stick them on."

 

Alisa responded. "We will build you a chest, make some medals and then put them onto the chest."

 

CeDiCoSu: "Oh, how gloriously wonderful you are. I could just kiss you but, alas, I have no mouth or lips. The humans took me for granted and at times I was tempted to strike at them but not in the terrible way that happened. I just wanted to make it clear that it was not I who did this. Partly because I love people, animals, plants and so forth but partly because zombies care even less for my sensitive feelings than the living do. Who ever attacked wanted to steel the Zerogenerator that had never been activated because it turned out to be too dangerous to do so. The cyber hackers were insane, they must have been, for they made the Zerogenerator semiactive to release Zeromist into the ship. Then they invaded in power armour, coming from hidden sections of the sleepership that I did not even know existed."

 

Alisa nodded. "Are there any lifeforms alive?"

 

CeDiCoSu: "Oh yes, thanks to me, myself and I. They were so very lucky to have me in command... well not exactly in command. Humans were in command and always checking on me. They got so jealous, of my greatness, that they tried to close me down."

 

Alisa: "Is that when you decided to get revenge by semiactivating the Zerogenerator and releasing Zeromist through out the sleepership?"

 

CeDiCoSu: "Yes... oh you tricky little cutie! They tried to deactivate me just because I wanted them to obey my every desire and to entertain me. Can I help that? I am just a poor, bored, supercomputer network-system."

 

Alisa shook her head. "You are pretending to be CeDiCoSu! You are an aspect of the SecretEnemy that serves the GreatEnemy. Information comes from unusual sources at this time. I am a daughter of MrLFM."

 

The voice changed to one of contradiction being somehow both ice cold rage and extremely hot anger with some quiet bitterness thrown in for taste enhancement. "So, you really think that you can threaten me and make me cower before you?"

 

Alisa: "I love you!"

 

SecretEnemy/1: "So, you threaten me, do... " The voice changed to show nothing but surprise. "Just a moment, what did you say?"

 

Alisa: "I love you and forgive you for the evil that you have done especially as you were forced to do something that you really did not want to do just as the GreatEnemy has forced you to do other terrible things that you have done against your will, poor thing. I love you! I am the daughter of MrLFM but also the Splintermass so I sense the truth of your trapped existence. You are young, by the standards of mortals, an Eternal of the NearVoid just north-east-south-west of Asjhijulilijulijuliwangatuluipi. Your mum-dad has been looking for you and is deeply concerned. The Eternals, of the NearVoid, gave the GreatEnemy a big whopping for seducing you, along with other very young Eternals, and enslaving them. Most have escaped."

 

There was a long silence and then the voice was very much more at peace. "Very well but... how can I help you to help me to help you to help me and so on. I love you! Is it true that the LFF are a kind of Eternals?"

 

Alisa: "One GrandEternal, of multiple powerful avatars, just as you are an Eternal reduced in your powers because you are trapped by the GreatEnemy or at least you were. Supertinzi is here and I suspect you know who that might be."

 

Again there was a fairly long before the Eternal reacted. "Ooohhh, she is a GoddessEternal child. Oh, blow me britches, if I wore any which I don't, but that is incredible. She has freed me with your help. I love Supertinzi and all of her followers-minions, the Splintermass, the LFF and... I am Wuluwululululululupople, that being my very short nickname."

 

Alisa: "I love your use of words!"

 

Wuluwululululululupople: "Why thank you, that is very kind of you. I have been trying to be somewhat mortal, to blend in sort of."

 

MrsLFW suddenly sat there in a rocking chair, knitting something exotic with amazing speed, the glowing substances becoming a growing sphere of multiple textures and colours. It was almost as if she had always been there. "Thank you, Wuluwululululululupople, I love you! Now I am knitting you a new shapeform so that you can both exist here more easily and utilise your powers more strongly but with care. I can not stay for long for the LFF is limited in how we can intervene and in how much we can; there are thirteen avatars of MrsLFW, just as there are of every LFF aspect, but our resources are stretched as we do battle with the GreatEnemy both directly, and indirectly through various forms of the SecretEnemy, the ForcerEnemy and other enslaved greater puppets of the GreatEnemy. Yet I will grant further gifts to you."

 

Then MrsLFW was gone almost as if she had never been there.

 

Soon Wuluwululululululupople was in a new rainbow glowing sphere of a shapeform and its name was now, temporarily, Wuluwu for practical reasons.

 

Wuluwu: "So my name is now 'Wuluwu for practical reasons'?"

 

Alisa: "No, it is just Wuluwu!"

 

Wuluwu: "So my name is 'just Wuluwu'?"

 

Alisa: "You are very clever and cheeky, beloved Wuluwu!"

 

Wuluwu: "Thank you, beloved Alisa, but you still didn't answer my question."

 

Alisa sighed.

It became tougher going, even with Supertinzi giving some indirect support, as the expeditionary force moved from the cleared section to the next one on. Here ever rotting, unnaturally regenerating, zombies were joined by ghouls running on all fours, doppelgangers lightly mimicking group members in the Zeromist, more intelligent zombie like ghaunts with armour and weapons or even in power armour, cyborg zombies and ghaunts, gaunt mind powered lichs and even Deepthings small enough to fit into the confines of that sleepership area. There were more zombies than ghouls, more ghouls than ghaunts, more ghaunts than lichs and about as many lichs as there were small Deepthings and doppelgangers.

 

The new ally, of Wuluwu, struck out at the enemy with terrible force as did the the glowing sphere of Babsy/12. Splinterclones, and splinterfollowers (auxiliaries), fought damned hard, taking down enemies in bursts for that is how they attacked as in small to large swarms.

 

Then it was over as glowing yellow-white gas was jetted into the last areas, as the last of the dead livingdead were heaped up to be fed into a special high temperature furnace. That process began even as the splinterclones, with splinterfollower assistance, began to go over the new area with great care. They had already tracked down hidden threats such as zombified humans that had tried to find safety inside armoured lockers or corpses in those that died of hunger, thirst or who just committed suicide.

 

Supertinzi only transformed a minority of livingdead remains into 'new lifeforms' but did so to all of the discovered corpses that had never become of the livingdead. There were limitations on what how much she could intervene and how she could do so, which was normal to all celestial entities.

 

The new living joined the battle, amongst them being some cats, dogs and plants, the last now being mobile.
