Gameworld Captivated Epic

Jasmine was duly adopted by the Arisers as one of their own and given access to her own squad13x13x13 if she so wanted it and she did. For Freetown was soon turning out to have more challenges to face than the glowfleas and the IVirus. It was a challenge as related to DemiVault101A that would soon be effecting Gaiaville and Hopeville along with the newly renamed DemiVault101B as Mazeburg.

 

For from DemiVault101A came fast moving squads, and fewer but bigger platoons, of puppet-soldiers. With them came large numbers of eyebots, MrGutsys and other kinds of combat robots such as robotic tanks that could carry puppet-soldiers in armoured compartments of little comfort. If the Arisers had not been enhanced-augmented by the MSers, and the Spectrum Babies, they would have been overwhelmed by those supersoldiers. As it was they barely kept them back at first for they were outnumbered at least 10 to one.

 

The MSers soon joined and gave the best solution to end the fighting.

 

Savage skirmishes sparked as hit-run squads met each other in fast, brutal, combat. Fighters moved with amazing speed, agility and strength but the puppets were encumbered by their brain-implants. The robots were powerful but had the same weakness as the puppet-soldiers, being EMP weapons.

 

In general Ariser animals tripped up the attackers, decoyed them, confused them, as the Ariser humans, robots, androids, cyborgs and drones zigzagged while knocking them down with EMPguns. Wombats came up beneath the running puppet-soldiers to knock them over. Cyborgs were bigger, slower, than Ariser humans but they utilised more powerful EMPguns.

 

Robots were knocked out, when they could be, for the robotic tanks had strong anti-EMP protection, heavy armour and powerful types of weapons blazing away with bullets, shells, missiles, rockets, rocket-grenades, beams and pulses. Thankfully they were in far smaller numbers than were other types of robots and heavier EMP weapons took them down.

 

MSers struck with big EMP weapons that took down whole enemy squads in one hit.

 

The attackers stopped coming for no easily discovered reason.

 

Alisa, and Jasmine, walked amongst dropped enemies being picked up for transforming into free thinking humans. Such processing was always tricky and not always totally successful but all would have improved lives anyway. Other puppets were already processed from Mazeburg, named after its combat maze being converted into an enhanced-augmented non lethal combat training maze. The processing, of the puppet clones, and the salvaging of robots was slower, trickier, than it might have been because of added complications.

 

Alisa frowned. "They had no power armour and only relatively few heavier weapons and robots.? They came fast and fell fast with no real EMP protection except for the robotic battletanks and even they could have been better protected."

 

Jasmine: "Answer, it was a diversionary attack! Another answer, the general attack hides a secondary one."

 

Alisa smiled. "That was quick! You can now see why we honoured you as one of our own and gave over to you command of a squad39 of our own Arisers. Each puppet-soldier is seeded with biological, chemical and other boobytraps. So is each robot but the bigger ones have concealed, heavily EMP, protected mininukes."

 

Alisa: "Yet AriserComd (Ariser Command) , as it now is, has already consulted with the MSers, the GaiaOrder and even with the DCBoS and the CommonwealthDC. We are sending a small, but tough, expeditionary force to DemiVault101A."

 

Jasmine spoke. "The last of our 13 Gifts have activated. More data came with one of the Copper Gifts of great value though it is generally basic in nature. DemiVault101A, DemiVault101G and DemiVault101M are special demivaults directing, coordinating, supervising experimental DemiVault101B to DemiVault101F. DemiVault101H to DemiVault101M are linked in one big isolation experimental program."

 

Jasmine went on speaking. "Then there are 13 more, ultrasecret, demivaults being DemiVault101N to DemiVault101Z with no further explanation to their real purpose except that they are separate from any of the isolation experiments of the other 13 demivaults."

 

She shook her head in bemusement and amazement. "As for NeoVault101 proper, officially it has 13 internal subvaults and 13 hull attached, external, semivaults such as security quarantine vaults linking the vault proper to the outside. Unofficially there are twin NeoVaults being NeoVault101A and NeoVault101B with each having 13 subvaults and 13 semivaults. There is no explanation given except that the first exists as a control vault with no apparent experiment and the second manages a very deadly, and subtle, isolation experimental program taking place in the first."

 

Then she spoke again after a long, noticeable, thoughtful pause. "The NeoVault101 Program, of Projects, is the very biggest of VaultTech ones based in a fake TechVault being actually NeoVault101B that manages, directly or indirectly, all aspects of the program. To think that my father brought me here for reasons of safety."

 

Alisa responded carefully. "Perhaps that is not what actually happened. We are starting to think that you, and your father, are superclones based on the real Jasmine and James. Then you would be very much like us Arisers for even our robots, drones and androids have microscopic cloned network-systems hidden inside them. We do not know what happened to the non clones of James and Jasmine."

 

Jasmine sighed. "Somehow that comes as no surprise. Even my father seemed to have had odd moments when our background lives did not seem to be real and I have had far too many of them. So I do not really have a mother or two sisters?"

 

Alisa smiled. "I have an idea that could allow you to have an interesting break from all of this and to do some back mind thinking."

 

Jasmine nodded. "Okay! Lets do it!"

Jasmine's group, Chloe's group and some Arisers made their way through a SSVR program scenario of a perfect, somewhat false, vision of a PreDoomswar WashingtonDC. Dressed up in civilian gear of quasi1950s style with some scifi details thrown in, they had concealed their weapons and other gear. A tour guide android, a basic duplicant, led them along a busy, wide, footpath through the Oblama Gardens of one of the two Second Civil War Presidents. Back them President Oblama and President Thumpem had both claimed the presidency but with very different agendas. In the end of the majority of PanAmericans had turned against both of them.

 

A hulking battletank, with two big autocannon barrels, stood on a big superconcrete slab. The battletank was beneath a protective security dome. It was marked with the star symbol of Oblama's favoured Fifth Armoured Division that had helped drive President Thumpem's forces out of WashingtonDC.

 

Chloe smiled when she saw the vending-machine and was soon adding a miniature replica, of the battletank, to her collection of must have popular souvenirs.

 

Alisa bought one for the Rainbowbaby sitting in a special pouch at her chest. The small one was very sleepy and was not at all fooled by the 'sensory stimulation technologies' of the SSVR realm. Still, she seemed to quietly enjoy it in a lazy fashion.

 

Chloe spoke. "I have 15 souvenirs so far and every one to be made real back in Ariser/1. Wow, a real bobblehead figure of George Washington II who crossed from the Delaware to WashingtonDC in a hovercraft."

 

Jasmine smiled. "So goes the official story but there have been some doubts about it. If we turn right at the next fork in the footpath, it will lead us to the President Thumpem Gardens. We can go from there to the Museum of Science and Technologies. They have a supposedly accurate replica of a Zetan saucerboat."

 

Alisa nodded. "Ariser collective memories recall that Arisers fought inside some big zetan motherships though we were not called that back then. We were clusterclones and we still are, I suppose. We did bug exterminations against hivaca, hunted predatorzi hunters, took on lesser Greys on Mars except for those poor little clones that we captured quite easily, chased down system pirates out from Venus and much else. Bad worlds, we dealt with, were Skaro, Pandora and a few others like them."

 

The Rainbowbaby yawned and then burped.

 

In the distance the massive Washington Tower, celebrating two George Washington presidents, turned from grey to flowing, ever changing, rainbow patterns. Around them tourists, and locals, paused to stare at it in wonder.

 

The silvery prize bubble floated in the air and then an Ariser hawk flew through the air to make it pop.

 

Alisa spoke. "The game rules have changed but this has turned out to be an early experimental stage in the game, what every the game actually is. Prizes will be more straight forward now but more commonly given. Gamepoints will remain much as they are. Levels will be more evenly placed. There will be new rewards given."

 

Jasmine smiled. "What is the real reason you brought us here?"

 

Alisa responded with a smile of her own. "There is no one reason. Relaxation is one. Having a look at the old world, even if it is a public relations, touristy, version of PreDD WashingtonDC. Then there were the clues that information is concealed here that could help us get more quickly to other demivaults like DemiVault101F that is the basis of another isolation experiment."

 

A soft shimmering-sparkling went through everybody and everything.

 

A giant rainbow bubble, translucent and much like a soap bubble, floated through the sky above. Others were in the distance. Around them SSVR NPCs were shimmering briefly and then looking around in puzzlement. Somehow they had become more real, more aware, more independent than they had been.

 

Alisa shook her head in wonder. "Through the Rainbowbaby, the Spectrum Babies are bringing destroyed followers, and others, back to some kind of real existence. She has told we Arisers so through the Arisermind. We need to clone bodies for them so they can depart this SSVR realm made more real by the Spectrum Babies."

 

They kept on the move towards the DC Museum of Science and Technologies, the DCMST.

 

The Spectrum Babies were truly amazing and capable of doing fantastic things.

The SSVR program realm was as normal but the visiting group had vanished from their and from their SSVR capsules. The Spectrum Babies were quick to reassure all that they were okay. Something new, and wonderful, was happening both inside-outside, of the Spectrumcube.

 

All remaining Gift Cubes had activated in Freetown and no new ones had materialised. Between them they provided more data, robotics, modular kits and plant stock as in both seeds and seedlings along with some other items.

 

More democratisation was gained in Freetown with the Overseers becoming public servants to the newly elected mayor and leadership council with the exception of the HighOverseer who had veto power, in protection of the constitution, and special emergency powers. All citizens, from 18 onwards, could vote but probationary semicitizens, from age 16, had both limited rights and obligations.

 

The Arisercube/1 expanded twice over! Riserland gained a new 1kx1kx1k lifecube. Other lifecubes were added being 100mx100xmx100m but so were fewer of the bigger ones but these were heavily restricted in their accessibility.

 

Riserland was hit with Ariser based taxation being only a small percentage of the value of the expanding Riserland economy. Ariser service-support, of Riserland, was cut back by 25% since Riserlanders were becoming more independent and self supportive. 5% taxation was considered by most to be fair including the large majority of Riserlanders.

 

Protest marches quickly broke out and then died out through lack of support and not through any actions undertaken by authorities be that Riserland Government or Arisers. Arisers continued to have garrisons in Riserland, advisers, trainers and new special police units. Arisers kept coming as tourists with valuable tradecredit to spend on goods-services.

 

RiverSong, of the MSers, spent time in Riserland but also in Ariser areas. A lot of people thought her hair was simply amazing.

:smile: :yes: :smile: 2.25[63] :yes: :smile: :yes:

 

It was a zetan scoutsaucer of the Zetatanala Mothership of the nomadic zetans. It was said that the zetans had once been slaves of the dreaded Greyyari, the Greys. They had either escaped from their former masters or had been rejected-ejected by those criminally insane grey entities. They had brought with them others had had remained on the move ever since, with Zetaclans based in motherships, out of fear of meeting the Greyyari once more.

 

That is not the supposedly expendable greyvari of the poorly armoured-armed scoutsaucers that were sent out in the 100s, often on very dangerous missions with little hope of survival. Zetans had captured many greyvari over the centuries and had easily turned them into a docile servant class which was a big improvement over their past lives. Zetans had up armoured-armed the easily captured scoutsaucers and crewed them with zetans. Truth was that most of the greyvari had eagerly surrendered to the zetans and kept doing so.

 

Zetans had died fighting, who had crash landed with the converted greyvari scoutsaucer. They were not greyvari and had not been willing to surrender. It was said that zetans feared greyyari enslavement so much that they would rather die than be captured. It was yet another confirmation of the sheer cruelty of being in service to the Greyyari elite of the greynari.

 

The greyvari-zetan saucerboat was, in reality, a prize catch of the real DCMST but this one was very impressive and that was largely because the SSVR realm was becoming steadily far more real.

 

Yet it was not the scoutsaucer that Alisa had come to find but something in the tourist information terminal. She was quick to hack into it and to find the very well hidden data package placed there by the mysterious benefactor that had sent a phaseradio message to the Arisers.

 

Alisa sat on a moderately comfortable, lightly padded, bench-seat and studied the data through Arisermind that had already absorbed it. The fairly comprehensive report was about the fake TechVault101 isolation research-development program-projects. It was a series of smaller reports, summaries of those reports, a final summary and a final conclusion. It had been carried out by an organisation called the XFiles Investigation Agency, the XFIA. She lightly took it in and was impressed with the honest, efficient, professional nature of the report. While it admitted that there were limitations in the report's data it also highly recommended that the program-projects be speedily shut down by a large taskforce of well armoured-armed paramilitary troopers. Clearly that had not happened.

 

A good reason for this was that the report had only been sent to higher authorities, for their assessment, just 18 days before the Doomswar had begun; after that government would have had higher priorities to attend to such as survival.

 

Alisa had a surprise to give to Jasmine, choosing to only speak the news to her for the moment. "We assumed that there is but one NeoVault101 compression cube and the big chamber, that we found the cube in, was designed to help keep up that deception. There are two others, both in the same special area as NeoVault101 Compression Chamber Beta, they being A and C. Both NeoVault101 versions are in Alpha and demivaults 'N' to 'Z' are in chamber Gamma. Still, we can still reach 'A' and 'F to M'."

 

Alisa gently rubbed the Rainbowbaby on the top of her bold head.

 

Jasmine. "I say we focus on reaching the last of the demivaults that were in Compression Chamber Beta."

 

Chloe came over with with some animals and robots following faithfully. She smiled. "Lets go and see the Robots Through History Exhibition."

 

Which was when a small group of young-youthful naked men, and women, raced through the chamber laughing, and shouting, before vanishing away as quickly as they had appeared.

 

Chloe spoke. "Do you think NPCs are having difficulty adjusting to being more real?"

 

Jasmine responded drily. "One does have that suspicion, yes!"

Alisa stood looking at the robotic display from a semienclosed observation balcony. It was one huge exhibition chamber where robots had been neatly placed in their own display areas.

 

The robots were dancing, playing chess or just exploring the great chamber. Robotic drones flew through the air. MrHandys kept looking for something to repair or clean. A sentrybot, thankfully with no ammo, went around trying to look intimidating. Some disturbing looking sex-robots were doing something... Eyebots were playing chasie. A NukaCola dispenser was giving away free fake drinks to any who would have one. A LibertyPrime prototype was standing on sentry duty and was clearly on constant alert for evil Commies.

 

Chloe shook her head in wonder. "This is not what I was expecting. Still it is amusing."

 

Teetree pointed. "Those two flesh coloured robots are doing some kind of funny yoga."

 

Chloe smiled. "Sweetie, I will talk to you about that later."

 

Alisa shook her head in amazement. "New information just came to me from a mystery source. The experiment carried out from DemiVault101H to DemiVault101M are to do with a great SSVR scenario based on a supposedly surviving WashingtonDC. The original SSVR program realm, that we have entered previously, is somehow being used to subvert-consume the big experimental program. The false WashingtonDC was a living hell for captive SSVR subjects but now it is become real and the former SSVR captive victims are becoming both real and free within it. Follow me, people?"

 

In a great exhibition chamber of giant working replicas of domestic appliances, MrsLFW was sitting on her self rocking chair and four Spectrum Baby avatars were sitting on her lap. Big rainbow bubbles floated through the air and their were other baby figures there, some being very big.

 

MrsLFW spoke quietly with everybody hearing her clearly. "It will take time to fully transform the NeoVault101 NeoWashington Experiment of oppressive poverty, isolation punishments, mental isolation illness, brutal martial law and much else. One would like you some of you to go into the forming new realm and carry out some good deeds. There are limits to how the LFF can intervene and your actions will help extend those limitations. Chloe's group can stay here to help amuse the babies as can the four wonderful claptraps."

 

Three humans, two dogs, three cats and four robots were soon be doing that very thing.

 

MrsLFW was knitting rainbow patterned spheres that floated away even as she completed them. As they did they became different kinds of quasiliving toys for Spectrum Babies, and companion babies, to play with. Knitted animals, robots, and other things were very amusing for minutes at a time.

 

But one other knitted rainbow sphere floated to the Alisa-Jasmine group and became a silvery metallic sphere being three metres high and wide. Soon the group was gone along with the sphere they had gone in.

Three Ariser humans, three animals and three robots went with Jasmine along with her friends TechiJoe, Sangalang, Dogmeat and the two StephSisters. Chump was one of the animals and the chimpanzee was happy to be on an away mission though he had much enjoyed being in the Arisercube. Then there was an amphibian lizard and a dog. The robots were all floating spheres.

 

One reason for not taking the claptraps was that they were an unknown kind of mechanism in NeoWashingtonDC and would attract unwanted attention; another was their total lack of discretion.

 

The silvery sphere dropped them off close to the DCRiver and shrank to a shrunken version of itself that Jasmine carefully stored in a small pouch. They were in time to help frightened citizens fight off an attack of psychojet driven ragers attacking with mostly knives, clubs and fireaxes but with some guns. The StephSisters began dropping attackers with arrows while the Arisers all fired off pulseguns, Jasmine used her bolt-action rifle with amazing efficiency, TechiJoe used his enhanced-augmented plasmagun and Dogmeat, the cybernetic dog, struck down enemy after enemy.

 

As predicted, when the so called help came, as always they ignored the original attackers and went against those doing the defending. NeoWashington was a sick joke where first responders came to the rescue not of victims but of those making victims. That was changing but 'markers' had to be laid by individual actions to speed the changes up.

 

Heavily armoured-armed police came in two vertibirds that fired at Jasmine's group. They were lighter, faster, machines and Jasmine took one down with the use of a special bullet that acted like an armour piercing missile. The machine exploded. The other turned tail and fled for the police had no real courage when it came to facing any real opposition.

 

A monument, of an old antiaircraft gun, had become usable and the cannon cartridges next to it were loaded up in time to blow the second police vertibird out of the air. Citizens were getting courageous, hopeful and learning how to fight back.

 

The ragers fled away, the superdrugs proving to be less effective against those who fought back than against helpless victims.

 

When a big rainbow bubble burst, in the distance, hundreds of parachute cubecanisters were suddenly floating downwards, being guided by autopilot driven jets for safety reasons. They came with useful equipment-supplies, mostly supplies, of an emergency, survival and self defence nature.

 

No official paramedics came which was good because they tortured anybody that they were supposed to be treating except for such as ragers that they patched up and let go so the ragers could attack other victims. The twisted paramedics were better armoured-armed than were the police and had more courage.

 

Trails of smoke rose up in the distance, in multiple directions, as official firefighters doused the blazes in petrol or hurled highly inflammable materials into them. They tried to stop victims escaping from the fires.

 

The group continued to move onwards towards a particular point that Alisa felt herself being drawn to.

SuperDuperMart signs promised over priced unhealthy, horrible tasting, packaged groceries and rotting fruit, vegetables and meat. Customers were people forced to enter the premises at gun point and forced to buy and then consume stuff on the spot.

 

The group helped destroy such a SuperDuperMart that also sold shoddy, dangerous to use, tools and other devices such as kitchen knives with rusty blades and explosive cookers. The building blazed easily as it was designed, and built, to be a deathtrap in case of fire.

 

The sounds of fighting drifted from different directions. The massive police central towers crumbled, an infamous place well known for its autorobotic torture chambers and advanced dungeons. The Statues of Tortured Good People were dragged down by big construction robots now serving the expanding rebel movement.

 

100s of robots fought each other, some trying to kill people and others to defend them.

 

Alisa detected a floating copper prize bubble and Chump burst it. They found a way into a hidden bunker beneath the SuperDuperMart. There they were able to find a big control chamber full of strange capsules, each with a hairless cloned human inside it. The 13 capsules were like SSVR ones but the figures inside helped to regulate the vast NeoWashingtonDC scenario. They may have been part of the terrible experimental program-projects but they were also victims.

 

So began the rescue effort!

 

Across NeoWashingtonDC negativity was transforming into positivity, bad people into good people, dangerous resources into healthy resources, water was becoming clean as was air, earth was becoming fertile and so forth. The fighting was dying down.

 

It began to rain lightly across the whole of the realm instead of there being not enough rain or monstrous downpours along with howling winds of destruction.

It was over or at least part of it was!

 

DemiVault101F had failed as an isolation experiment because faulty mechanisms had meant it had never been activated with network-systems turning upon vaultfolk one by one. Combing forces, all of the vaultfolk had tracked down and undone the trickeries lest they be activated, this including the observes. They were quick to form an alliance with the other demivaults.

 

DemiVault101A, G and M surrendered to the growing NeoVaultZone Alliance. They had been suffering from dwindling morale, resources and belief in the horrific experiments. Rebellions had taken place and the last of those loyal to the program-projects were overthrown.

 

DemiVault101H to L were transformed to become extensions of the new Spectrumcube based NeoWashingtonDC Realm of quasireality and its people being no longer inside SSVR capsules though SSVR network-systems existed as part of the quasireality.

 

As for the 13Awoken they were most unusual young adults, being three neuters, five females and five male. They had been most vital to an extra depth of psychic reality given to the scenario and its effects on people. Even semiconscious they had begun to sicken of the horrors of the experiments.

 

Soon the 13Awoken were in the Spectrumcube with the Spectrum Babies, MrsLFW and RiverSong along with Arisers, Chloe's group and others.

 

Much important information had been gained such as that NeoVault101 was very much more important than had generally been perceived and concealed secrets other than the various isolation programs.

Story Two is over! Story Three will begin after a break!
