Gameworld Captivated Epic

Gaiaville was quickly established as the new name for DemiVault101C as it was found that the 'mysterious benefactor', and hypothetically present super villains, were gone. The Rainbowbaby, Shadowbaby and others of their kind were in Arisercube/1 as were the Arisers.

 

The fake DemiVault101C had proven to be much easier to deal with than the fake DemiVault101D had been except that the aftermath was just as long term in taking care of the aftermath of saving people. There was also the big problem of creating a viable society with the population of ex ECs, Tormentors and elite folk.

 

In Freetown the last of the statuscapsule held glowflea-IVirus victims was out and most were living active lives in the vault. The only living glowfleas were preserved, comfortably, in very secure confines and one was on public display in the new Freetown zoo, behind triple layer armoured glass.

 

Rainbowjelly, and blackjelly, capsules were sent to Arisercube/1 where the jelly material were reabsorbed by the now named Spectrum Babies, being recycled by them for future use.

 

The transformed ones, from them, became citizens of Riserville based in Lifecube/2 that had recently materialised as another 100mx100mx100m Lifecube.

 

The new, bigger, cubechamber had been gained by the Risers expending all of their accrued Prize Points along with some of their Luck Points to hopefully improve the prize; it had worked and they had also gained more 10mx10mx10m cubechambers along with other features being added to the Arisercube.

 

Time became three times faster inside Arisercube/1 than outside so much more could be done there but more care had to be taken with entering-leaving and staying at the Arisercube for briefer periods of time. Increasingly more lifeforms were remaining there permanently but the biggest populations were made up of animals and plants along with some mosses.

 

Freetown, Gaiaville and Riserville kept up a consistent communications, trade and diplomacy with each other.

Alisa was observing the training formations of so far arisen Arisers being humans, animals, shapechangers, robots and androids but also now a small number of elemental humanoids of life, phase and solar. All had arisen with the original group or come out of the 13 Risercubes.

 

13 Telecubes had appeared being teleportation transports, 100 times bigger inside than out, that could jump-teleport, phase-teleport and travel in other ways.

 

13 Regencubes, 100 times bigger inside than outside, rejuvenated-regenerated lifeforms but also assisted them in other ways. Many, from Gaiaville, were being helped in one of the Regencubes but others undertook healing-sleep in its special alcoves.

 

She spoke and her words were relayed to the training group in the new 100mx100mx100m cubechamber that was not a lifecube and which the Arisers had taken for their sole use as they had about half of the accessible Arisercube. Much of that was unused but sealed off for good reasons.

 

"Very good but could be excellent. Tighten up your coordination and loosen your cooperation."

 

The Arisers were running patterns based formations out on the large ground level of the cubechamber. They were, in a sense, playing a very complicated-subtle version of chess.

 

They were working through a small scale strategy and the tactics of smaller units.

 

Having achieved the first of three levels, that is 1-of-3 semilevels and 10-of-13 levels, they had gained one general effective perk as they had done with the gaining of each sublevels. They had also gained one perk that they could choose and the Arisers-Net had chosen the activation of the Arisermind, it already being at a level equal to their own. It helped with the Multiple Shared Services such as the MSI, the MSD and the MSE but also could communicate with the Arisers if necessary.

 

A Gaiaguardian stood there, being of the necessary GaiaOrder paramilitary that had only been created when found to be needed when dealing with the Wastelands. He quietly, meditatively, took everything in and he was one of the minority of Gaiafathers that had a thirdeye. At that moment he looked only through his normal eyes. He then started to speak with Alisa.

 

They discussed strategy, tactics and logistics along with secondary specialisations like communications, medical care, intelligence, hygiene and moral. It did not take long for him to reveal that he had been a General in the EagleEnclaven until he got tired of their brutality, their oppressive hierarchy and the way they treated many as expendable including their own common ranks. He had proven himself to the GaiaOrder but more importantly, to the rather mysterious forces that gave over the Gaiapowers to chosen individuals known as the Gaiadepts. He was Gaiasherman and he was to have a positive influence on the Arisers while gaining much from them in turn.

"Great big sweetie sulky claw!"

 

Chloe spoke before kissing the massive slaughterclaw on the nose. Then she looked around the Mysterious Sanctum of the MSers that was also linked to the GaiaOrder and some other factions. Here it was often called the Gaiasanctum.

 

She was inside a large domed sanctuary, or domesanct, to stop the slaughterclaws there from getting out. They were now conditioned only for defensive aggression or hunting special designed prey and fighting special roboclaws but not to the death.

 

The big creature was stretched out enjoying bright-warm sunlight in a great suncavernland with a cloudsky above being a filter layer between itself and the suncrystal growing across the vast ceiling way way above. One could not see the far walls of the suncavernland but there were massive column-mountains evenly spaced to keep the underground realm stable-solid.

 

The slaughterclaw rumbled with an odd mixture of melodramatic self pity and pleasure.

 

Aeroships flew in the distance like gracefully ugly squat saucers along with smaller aeroboats and dirigible based airships and airboats. Subsonic jets were also used but in far less numbers and supersonic jets even less so. Chloe had been learning about the Evergreen Basinland, its geography and other facets. There were domed settlements in the distance along with domed agricultural areas and other kinds of domed places.

 

The slaughterclaw was not alone, there being a pack of 15 of them, that hunted down robotic prey before dropping them and tearing from them packages of meat with special additives in them. The hunting kept their skills honed and they fought the robots also, driving them off or even smartly retreating if they needed to, so they kept up other survival skills. There were other slaughterclaw packs in the Mysterious Sanctum for in the Wastelands they were becoming the primary targets of well armoured-armed human hunters seeking to kill them for their highly prized skins. There were other reasons that they, and other rarer type radbeasts, were in growing danger of extinction.

 

Chloe stood there alone. She was already manifesting more than one prime Gaiapower and now could move between certain places in various realms with little effort. She took out a very big meaty snack from a special shoulderpack and the slaughterclaw was soon chewing away on it.

 

As big and lovely as Cutieslaughter was, Chloe had not been drawn there because of the slaughterclaw. Then Gaiafairia was standing there, after appearing with a sparkling shimmer. "Granddaughter, what has brought you here to this place, here-now?"

 

Chloe responded. "It is not clear to me but I fear some kind of evil has infiltrated into the GaiaSanctum. Still, it can easily be dealt with. The important matter is a chance to obtain important information. I do not know where these ideas are coming from. Who was my father?"

 

Gaiafairia sighed softly. "He had exotic powers and resources that he could call upon. He called himself a Gamegod, being one of thirteen such including the only one titled as the Gamegoddess. Many Gamegods are female, others are male and yet others are neuters but there is only one Gamegoddess who is definitely female. They are the Originating 13 of 13 Gameworlds born from, blended with, reality. They created the Greater Game Realm but they were also created by it. Those are the words we gained from your father, through your mother's damaged journal, but she did not know what they really meant and neither do we. The original journal is now yours along with other items inherited from your mother. Perhaps you can gain meaning from the journal that we could not. Your mother's inheritance has been hidden-protected by the Gaiagoddess herself that you will get to meet one day but I can not speak more of her now. She just chose this as the right time to pass them to you and they are in that amazing new shoulderpack of yours that can become a backpack or other useful containers. Its a transdimensional inventory that is made up of 13 bigger inside than out sections."

 

Chloe spoke. "I will read the journal but what else do you know about the Gamegods?"

 

Gaiafairia shook her head. "We will speak of that after you read the journal and give us some feedback for you are more likely to gain more valuable information that way. I will tell you why this had to be so after you have read the journal. I, myself, had to go through the same process as have others. It can be very frustrating a process. Go back to Arisercube/1 now. I will sit with big old sleepy Cutieslaughter, with his odd name as chosen by some very interesting children that I hope you will meet soon."

 

Then Chloe was gone with a sparkling shimmer but only after she kissed Cutieslaughter and promised that she would see him again, soon. He would have given her a licking but that would have knocked her over.

Silver Prize #11, and Gold Prize #13, had been activated in Arisercube/1 but now three others were so, at once, being Copper Gift #3, Copper Gift #4 and Silver Gift #10. From #10 came 13 modular manufacturing kits, from #4 came 13 security turret kits and from Silver #10 came 13 modular humanoid robot kits. Each number would grow to 39 before the cubecanisters became normal storage containers.

 

In Riserville a newly elected Mayor Henry Trumpetis declared that the newly proclaimed Arisercube/1 Government would take total control of the Arisercube and that he would be its first president. He was drunk at the time and was showing that he was not a very wise person. An hour later he was locked in an Ariser isocube (isolation cube) guarded by two Ariser humans, a dog and two floating robots. The isocube made him passive as he lay on the lightly padded floor.

 

Alisa was checking over an order for the execution of the mayor, in her new command office, when Gaiaselena entered with an obvious expression of concern. She sat in front of her desk.

 

Gaiaselena spoke. "Alisa, why are you being so hard on the foolish man?"

 

Alisa frowned softly. "He is not dead yet! We Arisers stated many times, to the Riserville population, that while they had semiautonomous rule, they will never have more than that. The Ariserfolk have been more than generous in our support of that settlement, giving over a whole lifecube to them. Yes, they have cultivated resources for us, have become fine cottage industry artisans, and have given us much else in return. What is primary here is that the Arisers are tied to the Multiquest and must complete that with out allowing any to interfere with that. It is decided; the mayor will spend one year in isocube isolation; he will not be executed."

 

Gaiaselena: "One month!?"

 

Alisa: "Nine months!?"

 

Gaiaselena: "Six months!?"

 

Alisa: "Done and he will serve six months, semiconsciously in harmony, in an isocube. The Riservillefolk need to understand that we Arisers are paramilitary in nature and are driven by a very hard code. An actual Ariser human would have gained a harsher punishment than that but not execution. The mayor was never in any real danger of death and in this case he will have a nice sobering up process. How did he get elected?"

 

Gaiaselena sighed. "Because normally he is quite a wise person but he is not the one who caused this incident. That one was one Stephen Peterson who was found dead in his bathroom about half an hour ago with no clear indication of how he died. Except to our thirdeyes, that is. Those shapeshifter assassins, of yours, are most lethal. Why did you kill him?"

 

Alisa responded. "We became alerted to him as soon as he entered the Arisercube through phase-teleportation. With light cybernetic implants, very hitech but not up to scratch with our own, he was a EagleEnclaven spy. We kept a care check on his activities. He tried to get information out of Arisers but none trusted him. Then he began working on the would be mayor. The mayor is to be replaced by a caretaker mayor, being a chosen Ariser, until he returns in six months time. The six months will be removed from his three years term of office."

 

Gaiaselena smiled. "In which case his alcohol damaged body will be fully healed."

 

Alisa blushed softly. "Just as was agreed with the mayor when he chose to help draw the infiltrator into doing something so foolish that under the AriserCode we could assassinate him."

 

Gaiaselena nodded. "Or leave a fake clone corpse to be discovered, as a warning to others, as you took him into concealment to gain information from him. Will you execute him?"

 

Alisa shook her head. "He was very happy to cooperate, speaking of the EagleEnclaven as becoming criminally insane as it is infiltrated by bizarre humans and taken over by the strange EagleMarshals. He had already grown tired of the old EagleEnclaven. He is the eldest son of Gaiasherman, that is from Gaiasherman's second wife."

 

Gaiaselena: "Did the GaiaOrder pass the test?"

 

Alisa smiled. "While winning me a 100 tradecredit bet in the process."

 

Gaiaselena smiled. "Which you will hopefully donate to the GaiaOrder since we helped you get it?"

 

Alisa frowned softly. "Of course, I would love to, right away."

 

Gaiaselena smiled some more. "How generous you are, Alisa!"

Finding out how to get to the fake DemiVault101B was not turning out to be easy. As yet no direct physical way between DemiVault101D (Freetown) and DemiVault101C (Gaiaville) had been achieved though efforts were being made to do so. There were cave system, tunnels, and other features stretching out from both demivaults.

 

A phase-teleport gateway was discovered between Gaiaville and the next demivault to be investigated but it so far remained stubbornly locked against efforts to fully activate it.

 

Glowcaverns, butting up against both Freetown and Gaiaville, were soon supporting outposts where thornplants, and other flora, were cultivated for valuable crops. Radroaches were free ranged in large areas where they thrived, fed, drank water, pooped in specific places and died in other specific areas. They also shed skins and other materials as they grew. Poop, dead bodies and other items were recycled. Radroach poop helped make rich compost that enhanced the growth-quality of certain plant crops.

 

Jasmine ceased to be the Freetown Defence-Security Overseer and focused on being commander of the SIO that now had its jurisdiction expanded to Gaiaville. She found that she was more gifted working with smaller units and smaller operations, again being with her old comrades.

 

A small team of Ariserfolk joined the SIO to assist it as did some Gaiafolk and more vaultfolk plus both vaulttrons and vaultdroids, the last being basic general service androids of defensive only combat value. SIO was soon split into the HQ section and the away team.

 

A reformed Allan Mack joined the SIO to teach survival skills to its people that needed such training.

 

The TunnelSnakes went from a gang of trouble makers to a group fostering a stronger community attitude, and democratic understanding, amongst Freetown teenagers. Not all of the original members remained in the group, some leaving voluntarily and others not so much. Butch DeLoria openly became a part time hairdresser with the support of Amata who had him trained in the hairdressing way.

 

While some bicycles had been used in Freetown, before it was named that, the use of pedal-vehicles became increasingly more common for reasons of energy conversation, fitness and efficient transport in a place full of straight-even ways including ramps. Small electric motors became added to assist going up steeper type ramps and special slowing-braking systems for going down such ramps but most rampways were were fairly shallow in nature.

 

A quietness had fallen upon the known areas, of the false TechVault101, but that was not going to remain the case much longer.

Jasmine, and her away team, rode four wheeled quadcycles through Gaiaville where pedal-vehicles were starting to become more common. The GaiaOrder had been bringing many of their people into the demivault along with others from both the DCWastelands and the GaiaUnderworld, the Gaiafolk sector of the Underworld where they had first originated from.

 

The claptraps SparkFred and DizzyFred had been found, by Jasmine, who had followed an 'urge' to go to a certain isolated storeroom where she had found spare equipment and supplies to go with the claptraps. Now another was leading her back there but with a much bigger group.

 

Jasmine, TechiJoe, SparkFred, DizzyFred, Sangalang, Dogmeat and the StephSisters. Sangalang was a chimpman animan subadult. Jasmine was human as was TechiJoe and the two StephSisters. SparkFred, and DizzyFred were there along with five Gaiafollowers, five Arisers and four other vaultfolk. The Gaiafollowers were two Gaiadepts and three Gaialoyals. The Arisers were three humans, a dog, a robot and an android. The vaultfolk were four of the new Freetown Militiaguards.

 

They came to the long ago found storeroom and when Jasmine went in first she was surprised for there were two more claptraps with more equipment-supplies for claptraps. There was also a metal powerdoor where there had been none before with a control panel on its side.

 

Above the powerdoor, in various languages, was written the following: WHEN IS A GAME MORE THAN A GAME!?

 

Gaiabrian, son of Gaiasherman, spoke out. "In a very old buried subway station, of the very late 20^th Century, I was part of an EagleEnclaver expedition that saw a great sign that was made up of the very same words. They were part of a fancy advertisement for an virtual reality game system that back then was very advanced. The subway station must have been buried by the very short length World War Three where nuclear weapons were defeated by the first big force domes. The system was invented by 13 cloned supergenius teenagers that led to the controversial attempt by some massive corporations to own human clones; their effort failed but helped lead to World War Three. They called themselves the modest name of the 13Superminds."

 

The door opened to reveal a large elevator like chamber that easily fit the away team, including the two new claptrap members being TingleFreda and WheelieFreda. When the powerdoor closed they all felt a strange tingling sensation, including the robots.

 

Beyond was a vast chamber and at its center was a great cube of hard earth material surrounded by exotic transparent crystal material. On its side, perhaps all four of it, were the following words:

 

DIMENSIONALLY COMPRESSED SUPPORTED REALITY: NEOVAULT101 CLASSED TECHVAULT101.

 

They all looked at what was there in wonder though only a few there fully understood the ramifications of it. Before them was the area of the fake TechVault101 and the actual techvault along with semivaults, demivaults and other features. They were outside of that now but just where were they?

 

On another wall was the answer as a sign:

 

TECHVAULT101 HIGH RESTRICTION SECTION EXPERIMENTAL 101 COMPRESSION CHAMBER. ALL THOSE WITH OUT PROPER AUTHORISATION WILL BE EXECUTED WITH NO EXCEPTIONS ALLOWED.

 

They were in the real TechVault101 but there was no visible activity there. High on the visible walls were observation windows but they were polarised one way.

 

Suddenly MrLFM stood there in his black late 19th Century English Victorian business suit with bowler hat, briefcase and umbrella being all black showing more strongly against his pale eurowhite skin. He spoke quietly but everybody heard him. It was almost as if he had always been there. "This area is now heavily sealed off because something got out of the fake DemiVault101A, that is an extreme isolation experiment resulting in extreme abominations of former experimental subjects. The abominations arose because of faults in the very compression space network-systems of NeoVault101. One has repaired them but those fixes are only good for the short term; a better, long term, solution has to be found."

 

MrLFM: "NeoVault101 itself was created as part of the isolation experiment as a truly gross act of hubris. The 13Gen13 were part of those that created it all but they had assistance from the rest of the Grand Conspiracy Alliance. That is the 1Gen1 of the 13Gen13, the Illuminati, the TransEnclaven from which other Enclavens arose, the TechCorps, the UmbCorp (Umbrella Corporation) and the New World Pact; more importantly are three dark celestial forces that manipulated them, supported their dark efforts, and which must be dealt with."

 

Jasmine spoke. "Did you create the way from Freetown to here, after adding the new claptraps to that storeroom?"

 

MrLFM: "Yes-no is the only answer one can give for at times one simply does as one's purpose dictates. The claptraps do not come from here but from the world of Pandora being one of over 3,000 world orbiting the same star as this world. In theory all claptrap robots were destroyed but in practice many were saved and heavily reworked to greatly improve them, most successfully but not all. Rejects were saved anyway, some being sent to what is now Freetown. I suggest you take a look around for you will find others."

 

The four claptraps studied MrLFM intensely and the he turned to look at them briefly so that they shimmered softly for a few seconds. "Rejects are no longer rejects and have special extra abilities."

 

MrLFM turned to Jasmine. "The MSers serve the Little Fat Family in a semiautonomous fashion true to the ways of Celestial Balances. We are all limited in how we can intervene and in how much we can do so, in mortal affairs, and yet because others have foolishly interfered, we have gained greater leeway to assist more directly those effected. When I leave here there will remain behind 13 small, but powerful, gifts and in your minds will be special instructions. I have confidence in you all."

 

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

They placed the thirteen beacons around the great compressed cube, for they came to realise that was it's shape as they circled it, with there being one gold, three silver and nine copper cones to be placed in a particular order. That is three clusters with the first being gold, silver, 3 x copper; the second and third were both silver plus 3 x copper. These beacons were not the gifts but were working tools.

 

The gifts were 13 wand like devices of multiple exotic purpose use.

 

Jasmine had a pair of CC raygunpistols, one negative and one positive. They were now generally called minuspistols and pluspistols for convenience. It seemed that only a minority could use them for they would only work with such individuals.

 

Even as Jasmine activated the gold beacon, the first of the extreme abominations attacked. The thing was a distorting, disturbing to look at, humanoid rushing at them inside an area of distorting reality. It moved as the figure did that could be vaguely seen as a human in a vaultsuit. It could do great harm to them if it got too close.

 

Jasmine fired her minuspistol at it and a pencil thin blue light spat out to cause the distortion to lessen to some extent. From wands came wave-beams, named so because of their appearance, that slowed the entity. On and on Jasmine fired her minuspistol until a woman lay sprawled upon the floor.

 

Jasmine spoke. "She was not trying to attack us but was just desperate for help; it is going to take much to cure her and she may never be fully independent."

 

Again and again, as each beacon became active in turn, they neutralised and rescued the dangerous victims of an evil experiment gone wrong. How they had escaped from the fake NeoVault101 DemiVault101B was a mystery soon solved. They had come through what looked like a glistening black space in one wall now filled with a thick, black, web substance. One of the multiwands had a small number of the expeditionaries there.

 

Dogmeat sniffed at it and whined briefly. Jasmine nodded. "Shadoking! Or at least one of his followers was involved in this but it would have been a powerful one such as one of his Shadoknights or even a Shadoduke. The Shadoking has diverted away from Shadotaze norms to create more human like castes, classes and ranks. It is a mystery why this is so but it has been one, of many, reasons that he has alienated the great majority of shadofolk including the much beloved, respected, Shadoqueen."

 

21 of the entities attacked and were then rescued. The expeditionary force went back through the powerdoors to Freetown and from there to Arisercube/1, which was then the most energy efficient way of getting to the Arisercube. About five minutes after they left the great NeoVault101 compression space, it vanished away with a great sparkling shimmer.

 

The Shadoking stood there for just a few seconds, glaring angrily at the empty space. With the solid shadow like humanoid, just one of his possible appearances, were three powerful Shadoknights and nine less powerful but still dangerous shadopawns. Then they were gone and so was the black, web filled, hole in a wall.

An Underworld great crater was filled, a left over of the Doomswar. It that were now the carefully transformed ground of the NeoVault101 and a big bowl shaped lake made partly from the waters that had been in the smooth crater. Locals were quick to move to take advantage of the new, fertile, earthy ground and the big lake filled with the life that had been in the original crater lake. The GaiaOrder took control as it was in the GaiaSanctum and there were lifeforms to be protected in their own regulated, sometimes isolated off, areas. Not all were happy with this but most were.

 

Gaiafollowers soon made it clear that going deep into the NeoVault101 Sector was forbidden because of danger, issues of sovereignty and because of unexplained reasons. That still left many cave systems left open for careful use though other cave systems were sealed off.

 

So NeoVault101 was now in the Underworld and no longer dangerously compressed inside the real TechVault101.

 

Gaiamotherprime Gaiachellana came to the new earthy, fertile, area to give her blessings to the gift for the GaiaSanctum was always in need of more such area. Three new settlements were already established and two more would be but no more than that. Each would have its GaiaOrder inpost and there would be GaiaOrder outposts.

 

She spoke to a large gathering of people, being a mixture of Gaiafollowers and other folk. They were in a courtyard of the new Settlement of Lakevale for it was on the shoreline of the great big new lake. "The restrictions are important, as always, to keep the environment healthy and balanced. About a third of a large area of new land has been given over to settlers to support, in the longer term, five large thriving settlements on part of the shoreline of the lake. The subsurface cave systems, below the settled area, are mostly given over to your use after they have been cleared of threats. Others are being sealed off for very good reasons including the safety of settlers. You have all been told of the dangerous experiments carried out in NeoVault101 of which some escaped into the surrounds. There are also other dangerous lifeforms down there such as mirelurks, radworms and radserpents."

 

The exotic, sweet, scents of local plants drifted through the air. An elegantly squat saucer, of an aeroboat, came souring down through the air.

 

A tall, thin, rather elegant woman spoke out with a tone of anger. She was a human of the Uberclan, a troublesome faction always willing to do less while demanding more. They were always resistant to any form of regulation. "Why are not the Uberfolk given access to these lands. Uberfolk have given more than any other faction. We are superior to all others. I demand, as Uberlady of the House UberEntrao, all the lands here not already allocated to other settlers. It is our right..."

 

Gaiachellana glanced at the woman and she vanished with a sparkling shimmer. "Who allowed that Uber out of their isolated area?"

 

None seemed to have any answers to give including other Gaiafollowers.

 

An investigation was launched at once.

Gaiaguardians directed Gaiaguards as they attacked the Uber Isolation Zone where the dangerous human subspecies had been firmly contained for over 100 years. They were stronger, faster, more enduring than other humans but far from being superhuman. They also had some odd weaknesses such as over exposure to UV light, garlic and some others. Another weakness was their extreme arrogance and over confidence. They had the genetic inheritance of powerful unity with their own kind but extreme xenophobia to others.

 

They were disciplined, ordered, brave but lacked flexibility in their ways. Uberguards fought hard to stop Gaiaguards from getting to the stolen resources, and slaves, even as treacherous Gaialoyals were rounded up, over 100 of them, and interrogation of them began.

 

Shots rang through the air along with pulses, and beams, of energy. Fighters fell, wounded or dead. Power armoured attackers led the offensive but, thankfully, the Uberfolk did not have power armour. Or so it seemed.

 

Perhaps the deadly trap would have worked if it had not been for the probing of Gaiadepts who found that the so called stockpiles were long gone, along with most of the Uberfolk. The slaves were a fiction to help bait the trap. The large nuclear bomb, a Hbomb, was no fiction.

 

Gaiachellana, with her multiple abilities, stepped out of mid air next to the Hbomb in a small, dank, dimly lit concrete chamber. Then she touched it and it was disarmed. Around it were steel drums of nuclear waste. She was somehow not surprised and had advocated the termination of all of the Uberfolk except some put into statuscapsules. She had been voted down by those who had seen a more compassionate path to be the solution. Treacherous Gaialoyals had been amongst those that had voted.

 

She sensed the distinctive 'feel' of the Mindtwisters for the first time since the 3Doomsdays had driven them back to the realm they had come from while destroying a few of them.

 

Uberfolk were always willing to sacrifice themselves for their survival and twisted cause. The last of them attacked, the attackers, as suicide bombers with mininukes strapped to themselves. The mininukes were detriggered at a distance and the 51 surviving Uberfolk were knocked out to end up in statuscapsules.
