The real CeDiCoSu spoke from speakers. "Do not wake those in the Status Sector A statuscapsules with out undertaking careful analyse of them. The Zeromist got into that sector, though in a thinned out form. The other status sectors are heavily protected by awake humans and humanoids. Yet I would be careful with them also for there seems to be something unusual about them. They do not behave as typical humans would. They appear to be oversized, over muscled, sexless, emotionless, with out any form of conscious, and they have golden, silvery or copperish skin while the humanoids are cyborg monstrosities. Zybermen, and Zyberborgs, is what they call themselves."

 

Alisa: "The datafiles speak of normal settlers due to populate space colonies."

 

CeDiCoSu: "This is a sleepership but not the one that it is in theory. The real GloriaSister III travelled three times to-from the Mars Colonies, the status network-systems allowing for the saving of many resources, and then continued to be used with 50% less statuscapsules in use. This is the Shadowerdax that carries what seems to be an invasion force that was meant to land on the Terraformed Mars so as to attack the Free Mars Colonies. It was a plan formulated by the then totally criminally insane, corruption, autocratic and militaristic Terran World State with its fetishistic addiction to twisted superscience, distorted social engineering and bizarre mysticism."

 

Alisa: "What diverted the Shadowerdax from its original flight path?"

 

CeDiCoSu: "I do not know! One moment the Shadowerdax is travelling towards Mars and the next it is here, at the bottom of this great, deep, freshwater lake. When the Zerogenerator was sabotaged, many thousands of crew used lifepods to travel to the surface using emergency network-systems designed to be used with lifepods after they had plunged into deep bodies of water from space."

 

Alisa shook her head but more to herself than to any others. "This is getting more and more interesting! Time to investigate the Zybermen and Zyberborgs; perhaps they will be friendly."

Bullets exploded across an armoured metal wall as splinterclones smashed down another pair of Zyber zyberborgs. The ambushes were working well enough but the numbers of Zyber were increasing while the splinterclone numbers were not. On top of that the splinterfollowers were all damaged, being fixed, or were unable to deal with such enemies such as the cyborgdogs. They had been the ones to help alert the splinterclones that an enemy offensive was starting as did CeDiCoSu. CeDiCoSu had sent robots to help but they were weaker than the zyberbots that had been activated by the Zyber Command. The transformed humans took on the zybermans who were in larger numbers than were the zyberborgs.

 

The Zyber were taking orders but from who-what?

 

Then two more splinterclone13s arrived with splinterbot combat robots and splinterdroid combat androids along with other auxiliaries.

 

Alisa crouched, fired off a burst of shots from her autorifle, then moved very quickly as enemy projectiles exploded where she had been. Splinterclones only fired one burst of bullets or a single grenadeshell or grenaderocket before flickering away from that location to another. They attacked with amazing speed and then vanished. The Zyber seemed to be designed for more conventional type war and were having problems with splinterclones tactics.

 

Alisa spoke to Benjamin. "There must be other kinds of Zyber units in storage."

 

Benjamin nodded. "Unless those were in another disguised sleepership."

 

CeDiCoSu: "Benjamin sweetie is correct but so are you lovely Alisa. I have been tracking down hidden datafiles and have found whole databanks of valuable data along with more that needs further analyse. There are faster, more agile, units known as zybergirls and zyberboys. One zybergirl, commander, will lead three zyberboys because the 'breasts' contain special extra hardware. Other zybergirls have other kinds of extra breasts based equipment. Those that created the Zyber had strange forms of thinking."

 

Alisa: "Thank you, sweet CeDiCoSu. How are the other preparations going?"

 

CeDiCoSu: "Very well and the Zyber have just sued for peace! They have realised that you are not the enemy that they feared would attack. They have also had too many losses. They need your assistance."

 

Alisa: "Inform them that we agree!"

The splinterclones based alliance was soon formed with the Zyber with Zyber being repaired, regenerated. Only three had actually been killed and were successfully quasiressurected. Zybergirls had come out of statuscapsules, had realised that the zybermans had made a mistake, and had at once given out commands. They had command priority over zybermans and zyberborgs along with zyberbots and zyberboys of course.

 

The Zyberforce had broken away from the oppressive command of those who had created them. They had been abandoned by a large number of the active crew, and their families, of the sleepership but could not blame them for that for others had become of the livingdead.

 

Zyshant, zybergirl, stood facing Alisa in a secondary command chamber. She was metallic golden, was shaped like a naked young woman complete with nipple like bumps and other features unnecessary to cyborg design. She spoke. "Yes, yes, I know what I look like."

 

Alisa shrugged. "Such things have no effect on us splinterclones but changes can be made."

 

The zybergirl shrugged. "Perhaps later! There are higher priorities. The first is the Zerogenerator Chamber. It has not Zeromist but thicker Zerofog. MrLFM told us this and much more such as we need to trust you, respect your wisdom. I wish he was here..."

 

MrLFM stood there with a large, softly, glowing suitcase of softly whirling rainbow colours. It was almost as if he had always been there. Then he placed the suitcase appearing power artefact carefully on the floor. He stood up straight and smiled. "What is in that area is beyond mortals, even immortals, to deal with. Because there was outside interference on has the celestial mandate to act. There will still be many challenges for you to deal with, some of them being very dangerous. You may have stronger allies with you that you do not recognise as such."

 

Then everything was swathed in a great explosion, expansion, of rainbow radiance that went through everything and everybody.

The Zerogenerator was gone, along with a whole heavily sealed off area now filled with extreme vacuum that went way beyond mere vacuum of absence of atmosphere. There was no gravity, no energies and the absence of much else leaving a seemingly impossible state of affairs.

 

The sleepership was cleansed of Zeromist and Deepthings as was the whole of the Deepblue, the great lake having many natural lifeforms in it that were transformed from those abominations. It would appear that the problems, down there, were all solved.

 

That is until a great number of empty statuscapsules were found, in their own secret, heavily secured area. Alisa's group walked between great structures filled with the statuscapsules, most of them of standard size-shape but many of them being of other design. Splinterfollowers, Zyber and trishoopers moved with them along with one of the Babsys who was sleeping in Alisa's arms as a chubby muscular baby figure.

 

"Who-what were they?" Alisa studied signs on the machines and walls but all just gave technical information along with some obscure codes. "How did they escape from the sleepership?"

 

CeDiCoSu: "A whole bank of spaceboats were launched, being capable of submarine like activity in case the sleepership became submerged. They could have contained, with only a little difficulty, all of those from those statuscapsules along with a good deal of equipment-supplies from the containers in this same chamber."

 

Alisa shook her head. "Why do I have a feeling of concern about those who were here? They could have travelled along the Longblue River but the Danublue River also flows into the Deepblue Great Lake and water flows out of it southwards into the Downblue River."

 

CeDiCoSu: "The spaceboats departed from the Shadowerdax many years before the Zerogenerator was sabotaged and the surviving crew, along with others, departed in lifepods that went up to the surface."

 

Alisa suddenly gave a start. "We have presumed that all of the lifepods went straight up to the surface of the Deepblue; could a few of them have travelled out of the Deepblue using other means and the spaceboats have done the same thing? Do you have probes that would work underwater?"

 

CeDiCoSu: "Probes, drones and drillers. I compute that you want me to carefully chart the very deepest deeps of the Deepblue."

 

Alisa nodded. "As a start. Look for ways out of the great lake that might now be up there on the surface such as river tunnels. The wrecks could also be checked out."

 

CeDiCoSu: "It has begun. 100 probes will launch out further, the 100 drones will do looping patrols starting-ending at the sleepership and the 100 drillers will go underground while 100 monopods will be planted to assist in communications, navigation and security."

 

Alisa nodded. "Others will work with you, wondrous CeDiCoSu, to expand these ongoing operations. Now it is time to go to the bottom most levels of the sleepership! That is the area deeply buried into the floor of the Deepblue. What do you know about it, CeDiCoSu?"

 

CeDiCoSu: "Nothing! I have discovered that the Shadowerdax is far more heavily armoured, and armed, than any standard sleepership though they were well armoured-armed. It has very heavy-powerful navigation, communications and other hardware inside its great nose structure, being far more than necessary to travel from the OldEarth to Mars. There are also other supernetwork-systems that of obscure nature and purpose that they have been designed to send the sleepership through a timespace wormhole and avoid timespace worms. You people we need to penetrate sealed up areas and, if safe to do so, link me into previously cut off computer network-systems."

 

Timespace worms had once been a children's joke but then the first large scale wormhole experiments had discovered the existence of great big, dangerous, wormholeworms. One of them chased, then swallowed, an early robotic wormhole probe with much ease. The aftermath was gathered up by a second, far stealthier, probe and there was no much remaining of the first probe. Yet the remainders of wormholeworm poop turned out to be highly valuable to science.

 

Alisa nodded. "That was exactly our highest priority plan."

The mighty, heroic, handsome and deluded Rritew lead his army of fictional characters towards the north in a noble retreat called 'lets run away'. Yes, he was defeated, really defeated, but was he defeated? Yes he was! Perhaps he should have created more powerful characters than Wally the Clown, the Little Sweet Ponies and Fandalg the Magician. Well he did create the mighty Dragons of Destructive Destruction but they turned out to be only one metre long and they blasted people with really bad breath.

 

What had gone wrong? He blamed writer's block, the editor, the publisher and a case of rising damp in his castle except that he did not really have a castle.

 

It was time to really focus his mind, his thoughts and his creativity in a really focused fashion!

 

Scantily clad Amazingly Sexy Amazons flirted with him, each other and with the very air itself; too bad they were good at flirting but not so good at fighting.

 

They all stopped at a very large concrete palace where they settled down for the night!

Now there were 13 Alisa splinterclones as a subcluster named Alisa13. One was in the sleepership but all others were in Risercube/1.

 

More splinterclones were created through clonesplintering as were splinterfollowers through other processes.

 

A small GaiaOrder inpost was set up in the Lifecube/1 even as Lifecube/2 materialised with its lower quarter being filled with fresh water and small to smallish aquatic lifeforms. A structure rose up through the water and into the air that was almost identical to the one in Lifecube/1.

 

Risercube/1 was still expanding with more cubechambers and other features along with the new lifecube.

 

While Alisa/13 was in the Shadowerdax, Alisa/1 became a constant companion of Supertinzi and the other Rank Scavengers plus the river pirate boat three of a cat, a dog and a boy. Alisa/2 became the liaison to the GaiaOrder. Alisa/2 was linked to the trishoopers, meernoids and meerkats. Alisa/3 ended up being principle carer-handler for Splinterfollowers.

 

Alisa/4 to Alisa/12 did a whole lot of different kind of work as they led special made up teams to do so.

 

Ariser13/1/2 remained in general command of Risercube/1 being one Central Director, three Central Coordinators and nine Central Supervisors.

Alisa/13 led her people into three sealed off areas that turned out to have demiZerotech mechanisms of three Zeroduplicators, three Zerocommunicators and three Zeroportators along with specialised equipment-supplies to go with them.

 

There was a sealed chamber full of antique books, artworks, furniture and other items taken from the OldEarth, some being thousands of years old.

 

There was a chamber with 20 SSVR capsules being of Sensory Stimulation Virtual Reality. With them were a lot of related equipment-supplies along with many duplicated SSVR program cartridges.

 

There were eight large sealed off areas with massive amounts of poorly sorted standard, less special, and even less exotic equipment-supplies.

 

No obvious way was found to go downwards through the very heavy, highly secured, horizontal barrier cutting off the lowest section of the Shadowerdax.

 

The answer was the careful use of one of the Zeroportators. Except that Alisa/13 found herself concerned about what any expedition might run into so she instigated a grand research program, into that secret area, using all the available data, of multiple kinds, that was relative; more data was to be searched for.

[Maharg67]

F1STE 1.33[35]

 

A great deal of semiuseful, useful and very useful data was discovered, gathered, correlated, analysed, summarised, archived and so forth but nothing was found out about the lowest level of the sleepership.

 

So the very large Zeroportator was loaded up with a taskforce, equipment-supplies and carefully, very carefully, phase-shifted downwards.

 

There was nothing down there but a very great space inside a great hollowed area of the sleepership with a cradle that suggested that something very large had rested there. The shape, of the cradle, suggested an elongated saucer shaped vessel of some kind. The kind of machinery that remained behind, the signs there, reinforced that idea. The other massive clue was the massive airlock that was tightly sealed but which could have been used.

 

CeDiCoSu: "I have hacked into the local supercomputer network-system and it appears that what ever was here was a supersized, militarised, Zeroportator. Beyond the airlock is a great glowcavern, partly damaged by the arrival of the sleepership, that goes into a great maze of glowcaverns, glowtunnels and other features. It could be an alternative way of getting down to here with out going through the waters. There is a very sneaky way from here up to the higher levels of the sleepership, being four outer hull tunnels that go around the great horizontal layer."

 

It would have felt like an anticlimax but the Alisacluster, as the 13 of her was starting to be called, sensed that there were very important mysteries to be solved such as the spaceboats' departure and the departure of the massive Zeroportator along with how the Shadowerdax had got there in the first place.

The Gamegoddess was not as insane as she pretended so as to deceive her enemies but she knew she had to escape from the secret Gamedomain of the Gamegods and their follower-minions. That is if she staid there she would end up insane because of a malignant psychic-spiritual attack being constantly launched at her or she would be assassinated though that would be extremely difficult to do.

 

The majority of Gamegods were increasingly restless as the Gameworlds became less controllable. They were starting to disobey the Gamegoddess in growing frequency and strength.

 

So, taking a section of the Gamedomain with her, she phaseshifted herself and her follower-minions, along with others, to the NewEarth and into the Originating Region. She had plans to carry out and the exotic nature, and resources, of the Originating Region would help her carry them out or so she hoped.

The Rank Scavengers wandered, in a loose group, through the Dinkyblue Markets along with two Alisa and some other splinterfolk, being both splinterclones and splinterfollowers. Saltis, Ramsey and Rubin turned out to be very good at haggling as the local merchants soon learned to their minor cost. The merchants did gain valuable goods such as hitech and even more midtech devices. The robots, and animals, were content to peacefully look around.

 

Dinkyblue had been increasing in size with the arrival of refugees from the north-west and others simply hoping to gain an improved life in the now domed settlement, or dometown. Political, social and economic change was taking place with the arrest of corrupt politicians, business people and others.

 

From Sureblue, all the way to Dinkyblue, all Bluetowns were now domed, were surrounded by fortified barriers, had improved enlarged harbours and other beneficial changes. People went into, and out of, the towns through archways that scanned and sensor swept them but only a very few complained.

 

Powerful patrolboats now moved up-down the river between settlements and riverside land patrols did the same.

 

Supertinzi slept in a pouch against Saltis' chest. Most did not detect her existence but children and animals tended to do so.

 

The Gaiafollowers were in larger numbers but that was apparently because many of them had been coming south-east with the refugees. All were tall, being more females than males, and with the third eyes in their foreheads. Where had they come from? How had they come to have the third eyes? None seemed to know, not even them.

 

An exploration-mapping team had reached the sleepership, from the surface, by going underground. They met some friendly, neutral and not so friendly but not hostile peoples. There were meernoid-meerkat communal burrows, trishoopers that had settled into their own villages, gnomes in underground villages, self-deluded pygmalions who were good at doing things but not as good as they assumed they were, great big clomping herds of oliphants like talking pink-white-brown elephants that could fly with outstretched gravity-ears and yet others including confused oximorons.

 

Alisacluster bought, traded for, information such as about the underground areas between, and out from, the surface Blue Territories and the sleepership. Trade-diplomacy was starting, on a regular basis between the Blue Territories, the underground areas and the new, growing, sleepership community.
