1.28.3[49] SEEKING THE TUNNELSNAKES IN THE TWIXTVAULT

 

The group used a cable-teleport cubicle to travel to one identical looking to that had been departed from. That, and the big chamber it was in, was in another part of the twixtvault. It also showed secrets previously hidden even from the Founder Families and the IEN101. There had been at least one secondary isolation experiment planned but what happened to it?

 

The chamber was lined with exotic machines, small workstation cubicles, lockers full of equipment-supplies, rest-recharge bays with basic androids-robots, not so exotic machines and a row of capsules. In these were bizarre looking suits that would contain a user head to foot. It was soon realised that they were not controlled by the wearer but by others to the degree of whether the person could see, hear, smell anything. The trapped individual could never feel anything outside of the isolation suits. Worse still the individuals could be fed levels of sensations all the way from ecstasy to agony.

 

Harry was clearly puzzled. "This does not make sense to me."

 

MrShadow spoke. "It is a fake experiment designed by an entity who simply enjoyed having control over somebody. That is one SageProfessor Braun of the 13Gen13 who was expelled from their ranks because he was interested in meeting his own insane desires-addictions than he was in successfully completing any projects. The isolation suit project was halted and this chamber was sealed up. Except those we are following came through this way or at least some of them did. Any security records, of them passing through, have been wiped except that they made a mistake. There was a more basic, back up, set of security cameras put into this chamber to spy on SageProfessor Braun. It was how the sadistic fool was finally undone. Those who passed through here had no reason to think such life sensor triggered cameras existed here."

 

So it was that they did some connecting of the hidden cameras to each other and to the computer network-system. They were soon watching a 3Dwallscreen with a tall, angular, snow white haired man leading a group of people through the chamber from the active cable-teleport cubicle. It took more than one use, of the CTC, to bring through the large group that consisted of multiple robots including those carrying statuscapsules with individuals in them; that included the TunnelSnakes. A tall, hoodrobed, woman was with them having ice cold eyes and odd purplish skin as was normal for Timelords. With the group were an odd mixture of others including power armoured figures, not all of them soldiers, vaultsuit wearing specialists and other hoodrobed individuals.

 

They passed through quickly, not doing anything more than wipe security recordings of their having passed through.

 

So the group followed or at least tried to do so for just beyond that chamber, and through a big utility hallway, they came to another big chamber where the trail abruptly ended.

 

MrShadow frowned. "A TARDIS (Time, Alternates and Relative Dimensions Intrinsic to Space) was used to transport the group away from here. TARDISes are not common type elite machines manufactured and used by Timelords who mostly use timespaceships of less elaborate kinds. There are, in theory, only 13³ TARDISes in existence, at least officially according to the Timelord High Council. Timelords have made contact with Shadotaze multiple times for just as many reasons; one has met a few of them, they being typically rather dull-boring types with brilliant minds and exotic time manipulative abilities. Even a TARDIS would need to be used with care inside a techvault but the Rani is brilliant not just as a scientist but on a practical, survivalist, level so she would probably find a way. One would be for her to use teleport-cables to help her safely guide the RaniTARDIS."

 

Harry frowned. "It is bigger on the inside than the outside?"

 

MrShadow nodded. "You sense the transdimensional oddities of a TARDIS at work. If I am right about what the Rani is doing, we could track her using the teleport-cable network-system."

 

The others had no reason to doubt him and if the Rani was not using the cable-teleports then they would just have to go on to find other answers. Yet it turned out that MrShadow was correct and that the verification of his hypothesis would lead to a startling set of discoveries and some disturbing truths.

1.29.1[50] The Mysterious Stranger as MrWalker: An Interesting Meeting

 

MrWalker wore a trenchcoat outfit that made him look like some sort of 1940s Hollywood movie private detective and yet he was in truth an aspect of the Mysterious Stranger of the Balances but not of the GreatBalancer of the GreatGame. He walked the ways both physically and otherwise, striding oddly quietly-gracefully, through WashingtonDC GrandMall.

 

Power armoured DCBoS Steeltroopers were using old style 105mm calibre howitzers to bombard supermutant potions, the cannon like weapons being spread out so as to make less obvious targets. For the supermutants were not all of the more stupid kind such as typical behamoths, hulkamoths and bulkamoths but the smallest, smarter, massamoths. These operated very large mortars that hurled large shells back at the DCBoS Forces.

 

The DC Orderhood of Technology (DCOoT) had established their base in the NewPentagon, not to be confused with the OldPentagon now occupied by the smaller DC Brotherhood of Steel (DCBoS) that was more orthodox in its ways; it was very large with the DCOoT being larger still.

 

Both had come from the US East Coast, from the Lost Hills region of California, where the original LHBoS was still established. There were also the DC Sisterhood of Steel (DCSoS), the DC Outcasts of Steel (DCOoS) and some other factions caused by the Splintering of Steel that took place soon after the massive arrival in DC.

 

The DCBoS was fighting a battle with supermutants, in a large part of the DCGM where a battleground of ditches, trenches, barbed-wire and other features existed including very tough growths of mutated plants. Some big, somewhat mysterious, battle had raged there between an unlikely alliance and a very exotic enemy. Human soldiers, robots, androids had fought alongside zetans, zetan-hybrids and zetan dronebots. The nature of the enemy was hinted at in the form of bizarre technological wreckage and skeletal remains.

 

The situation was not made easier by the intrusion of TalonMercs mostly in the form of lowliest thugmercs or Talonthugs. These were below the level of Talonguards as Talonguards were below Talontroopers.

 

Then there was the CommonwealthDC, a fairly large but struggling faction with its largely volunteer based DCMilitias backed up by the small CDC Defence Force (CDC\DF) who hung back from any main fighting to protect its settlements such as RivetCity and Towertown.

 

MrWalker knew a great deal about DC\Factions along with much else about WashingtonDC and the rest of DC. That is a DC that had been expanded back in the early 21^st Century all the way to the coast thus swallowing up Maryland and Delaware though they continued to have those names.

 

The DCOoT had yet to officially send in any forces but MrWalker knew they reluctantly had units assisting the DCBoS. That assistance was linked with a special semiofficial (secretive) agreement between the two factions. The DCOoT wanted first access to any exotic technologies found that were of a certain types such as zerotech.

 

MrWalker not only supported the agreement, he had helped to create it and had signed it. The Mysterious Network had bribed the DCBoS with a large amount of standard equipment-supplies but also some very useful tech upgrades and even some supertech.

 

He halted as a force of Steeltroopers moved past in standard, but recently upgraded, power armour. They carried mostly big, powerful, 12.7mm battlerifles but also strangely named 20mm cannonrifles, laser-rifles and missile-launchers. With them moved massive sentrybots and low hulking, four legged battlemecha.

 

Suddenly the FarWanderer was there, almost as if he had always been there. He stood in power armour and holding a large, exotic, multiple barrelled weapons; some of the barrels were lens-barrels of energy weapons. Other FarWanderer aspects continued to use versions of the WonderShotgun.

 

MrWalker spoke gravely, quietly. "You are taking a big risk with what you are doing."

 

The FarWanderer responded. "So I have been told but I am sure you did not come here just to tell me that."

 

MrWalker nodded. "One is here to assist you so as to make the risk less of one. You know of the Splintering of Steel and the factions that arose from it including those few factional fragments."

 

The FarWanderer nodded. "My guess would be that you had something to do with that."

 

MrWalker responded. "The SecretEnemy, in service to the GreatEnemy, caused the Splintering but one stepped in and did what one could to fix matters. The DCOoT was a faction partly created by one as it has moved away from the harsh hard line orthodoxy of the original Doctrine of Steel and by a big degree. The DCOoT is supporting your mission in doing what it does such as in seeking out dangerous supertech such as zerotech."

 

The FarWanderer responded. "Excellent! Come with me for I have something important to show you, something that you need to see for yourself and which will help explain why I am taking the risk I am."

 

So they dropped into a trench and were soon moving through subsurface bunkers, along zigzag reinforced trenches, along shallower ditches and through tunnels.

 

They saw many remains of military technologies that had not been looted because scavengers smartly avoided the area because of its boodytraps, landmines, fewer pop-up turrets and other threats. In earlier years scavengers had looted the outer most areas, where it was always safer, but any that had gone deeper had either returned damaged as survivors or had not returned at all. MrWalker, and the FarWanderer, did not trigger any threats simply because of their true natures.

1.29.2[51] The Mysterious Stranger as MrWalker: Investigating With the FarWanderer

 

The massive chamber was made up of a dull hybrid crystalic-metal material that could not be created except in a special dimensional isolation cell of exotic natural laws. In other words it was supertech of an extreme kind often known as exotitech. The domechamber was made of the crystalic-metal to both house the insane mechanism and to allow for its operation. The tricky mixture of four zerotech generators, two zerotech mattercators and a realitech reality actualiser was linked with a greytech power core taken out of a greytech saucership of some kind.

 

The only good news was that the power core was burned out, a non reparable wreckage, for it had altogether been a mechanism for creating horrors from somebody's mind. Or was it from more than one person? 13 strange machine-cradles circled the domechamber at its rim but the actual statuscapsules in them had been removed along with service-support tech linked with them.

 

Realitech was, in its own way, as dangerous as zerotech was being both on the black list of technologies, that is even more so than the infamous red listed technologies such as certain kinds of super viruses, disintegration bombs and synthetic psychic mentitech.

 

Some faction had taken a great risk in making that crazy arrangement but why?

 

The FarWanderer lifted up his Wondermultigun. "Now I know why the LittleFateGirl delivered this to me personally. She said I would know what to do with it. It will record everything here down to the micrometer and it totally disintegrate everything including the domechamber material. In place of the domechamber will appear a small, useful, shelter bunker for any who find it."

 

MrWalker: "Do you know what took place here?"

 

FarWanderer: "A faction created something, here, that helped to save this world from being invaded more directly by the GreatEnemy. The great monster, Godzilla, burned a powerful aspect, of the GreatEnemy, and hurled it back through a great unstable phasehole that it had come through. Doing so saved the world from the GreatEnemy but helped to instigate the 3Doomsdays that ended the terrible Doomswar. Godzilla sleeps, deep in the ocean depths, and will one day awaken but that is a future concern."

 

MrWalker: "What faction?"

 

FarWanderer: "All I can envision is a great rainbow butterfly bigger than this world, whose glow is more powerful than that of the sun, but also a very small rainbow patterned baby, bold with the glowing pattern ever flowing over her body."

1.29.3[52] The Mysterious Stranger as MrWalker: Something Evil Attacks

 

The glistening blacker than black tentacles plunged out of the very air and shot towards MrWalker and the FarWanderer.

 

MrWalker took out a pair of massive revolver-pistols and began hammering away with glowing, pulsating, shells that blasted apart glistening, glimmering, tentacles dotted with fleshy spikes and smaller tentacles.

 

The FarWanderer fired off his Wondermultigun with a variety of pulsating beams of elemental energy, hurled exploding projectiles and thousands of deadly glittering darts.

 

The creature screamed and then it was gone but its task was complete for the great domechamber was empty of all the stuff that had been in it. It had not been attacking except to decoy from the theft made some other entity.

 

Understandably neither MrWalker or the FarWanderer were pleased.

 

MrWalker spoke. "The SecretEnemy, in service to the GreatEnemy, took a great risk in taking what was here before you could record it or destroy it."

 

FarWanderer nodded. "Vital clues were stolen before they could be discovered or so the SecretEnemy might imagine that it has been successful. Except it left behind the exotic surface of the chamber. One will read if there is anything to be found in it."

 

Then he was showing a mild scowl. "Traitors came here to try to stop the creation of Godzilla that was then directed to throw back the GreatEnemy from entering this world. The Guardians of Glorious Courage were supposed to be superheroes so why were they so intent on stopping what was happening here? In truth I have never heard of them before. Perhaps this clue was of no real use at all."

 

MrWalker sighed. "The Woppomer, the Stinkum, DoctorOgle, BadGirlBad, DeadlyTreadily, SuperBoyScout, SuperGirlScout, the NaughtyTriplets and least, but also last, Robotbotbot. There are 13 of them so perhaps that might just mean something. The clue was of some value in that it might lead to the Guardians of Courage and thus clues of real importance."

 

The FarWanderer gave a mild grin. "Meeting the Guardians of Glorious Courage will be, I suspect, a most interesting experience."

0.2.1[53] LORDWRITO DOES SOME EDITING

 

LordWrito landed the small vertibird on the great shallow dome of the New United Nations Assembly Building where over 100,000 had died during a terrorist gas, germ and rad attack; except it had been no terrorist attack but one made by the so called Great Conspiracy. That one strike had ended the NUN before it even properly began its new life. The dome had been sealed up and remained as a memorial.

 

LordWrito folded away the vertibird into a handy transdimensional pocket and dropped down through the dome. He arrived in an office chamber, a very big one with cubicles that could be closed up for privacy. Stories of what had gone on in those cubicles had spread across the world in various ways. Had the NUN become corrupted even before it was destroyed?

 

LordWrito made the air circulate again, refreshening it. Dead plants returned to life as did animals along with transformed humans. Robots were fully repaired and recharged. The megacomputer centered network-system became active and so did multiple supercomputer centered network-systems.

 

People awoke knowing what had happened, in a peacefully muffled fashion, and began to work at once on a new project. That is to assist LordWrito in the creation-publication of a wonderful new epic story of stories involving that world and its histories.

 

A youthful, beautiful, young personal secretary was soon assisting him. In her pyjamas, she sat on his lap for efficiency purposes and quietly took notes using a pipgirl on one wrist. When he wanted a sip of his coffee latte caramel deluxe, she lifted the small transdimensional mug to his lips and then took a sip herself.

 

LordWrito spoke elegantly and with impressive gusto. "There is much to be done and to be undone, as Shakespeare might have said if he had said it."

 

The five celestial year old daughter shook her head. "Daddy, he didn't say that. You are being silly. Mummy said you should not be so silly with me as you will give me wrong ideas."

 

LordWrito sighed. "LadyWrito is of course correct in what she says; she always is."

 

GirlWrito shook her head. "Mummy says silly things sometimes but she says that when she does silly things it is different which I think is silly. Dragons, put dragons in your story and dinosaurs and clockwork clowns and Nukagirls with raygunpistols and Wigglejiggles with their BigRedBus and SilverBeatles and Lovely Ladies with Legs of Lemonade and bouncy bouncers and blond bombshells and happy talking animals and beautiful rainbow butterflies like that one there..."

 

LordWrito noted the softly glowing butterfly sitting on top of a special rainbow coloured lamp-post that had not been there a moment before. He laughed softly, amused-bemused, and spoke. "Well, so much for complete creative control but then again, who am I to be so selfish. GirlWrito would welcome a butterfly friend of her own, sweetest of rainbows."

 

A second butterfly appeared on top of GirlWrito's head and she smiled. "Yes, lots of rainbow butterflies in the story and other rainbow goodies as well."

 

A rainbow flash of energies swept through the dome, making it much bigger inside than out, adding people and other lifeforms along with multiple new features.

 

The city of Geneva was also heavily influenced by those energies as they spread from domebuilding to transparent dome and so forth.

1.30.1[54] TOWARDS THE MADMAZZEN

 

With Rejectville not only recovering well but improving on what it had been before the troubles, the expedition started out for the infamous Madmazzen. It travelled now in three vehicles, through a series of glowcaverns and glowtunnels lit by the long ago seeded quasiliving crystalic.

 

The blops had ceased attacking and had not been seen for some time by any in the area despite intensive searching for them. That should have been good news but something was out there supposedly being more dangerous than the blops, even the more exotic ones.

 

At the fortified settlement of Calmawell there were rapid expansions as refugees set up well defended areas helped by locals and vaultfolk come with resources to assist.

 

They were seeing rapid changes in organisation and even in mostly younger people.

 

UncleLeo, who had come with the expedition, spoke quietly with some young people and then returned to the others with an odd expression on his face.

 

They had been given over a walled courtyard where the rough road vehicles were parked. There were also some prefab huts to be used, some with special facilities such as showerbaths, toilets and a kitchen. The Venturers, now joined by BigLilly and UncleLeo along with some others from RejectSanctuary, listened to UncleLeo.

 

UncleLeo sat on the ground with a sleeping, curled up, BigLilly next to him. A small, softly glowing, rainbow butterfly sat lightly on softly snoring BigLilly's face. "There is a rising, amongst the youth of humanity, a kind of connecting together in networks that reach out to other networks word wide. Safe, secure, networks linked by the carefully used symbol of the rainbow butterfly. Such networks are forming in TechVault101 itself but most heavily in HarryLifecube."

 

Harry nodded, smiling. "The Rainbow Connection, a bridge between people."

 

UncleLeo nodded. "The rainbowfolk, as they also call themselves, have managed to take control over the almost mindless blops. There is a rainbow network much closer to Madmazzen, being also close to the settlement of Junkville. They have been helping to fight a war against bigger than blop, vaguely blop like, things called gobblers. Except that the gobblers are perfect spheres that break horizontal in half to swallow up victims, including blops. Blops can destroy a gobbler by swarming one with overwhelming numbers but gobblers also come in big numbers. The rainbowfolk fight along with the blops, and other folk, against the gobblers"

 

Chloe frown-smiled as she used a garden rake to scratch BigLilly. "Why computer games?"

 

Jolenna, once named Jasmine, spoke out. "Yes, Gobblers Go Gobbling is a PreDD computer game just as Blops of Blops and Blops is. Computer Games Are Us, makers of the blops games, tried to sue Fun Time Electronics, makers of the gobbler games, for intellectual theft. The case was thrown out because both games were based on the same general gaming concept that was very old even back then."

 

Chloe sighed. "Supertinzi knows something that she is not comfortable expressing, apart from when she gets the 'windy winds' and has to be burped."

 

Jolenna nodded solemnly. "One has burped her more than once and the whole vehicle has rocked back and forth."

 

Supertinzi was sitting with the cat Ginger, a gentle female who was grooming the very small chubby muscular baby figure. They were sitting on top of BigLilly, comforting her by doing so.

 

Chloe grinned. "We set up power turbines, once, using her windy winds and got a good amount of electricity from them. She is good at finding things when she wants to do so. Supertinzi can summon things to appear, move the group between places instantly and do other things but she seems reluctant to do so as if fearing something out there; I think it might be the SecretEnemy, that serves the GreatEnemy, but one is not sure. Supertinzi is aware of the rainbowfolk, not all of whom are humans, and thus so are we all aware; that is the RankScavvies."

 

Which was when a great shimmering, shivering, sparkling flowed through everybody and everything but when it was over apparently, obviously, nothing had changed.

1.30.2[55] TOWARDS THE MADMAZZEN

 

The rough-road vehicles made it as far as the settlement of Sanchotoso where the rainbowfolk, who had loaned out the machines in the first place, took them back. Now the group set out on foot, taking with them an additional six carrierbots filled with extra equipment-supplies being mostly supplies. The closer they got to the 'madness' of the Madmazzen, the more distorted and difficult the terrain became to move through.

 

Inexplicable features were discovered such as a long tunnel made from opened ended shipping containers placed end to end. It went for some kilometres before abruptly ending in a great glowcavern dotted with metal platforms, walkways, rampways, modular buildings, girders, buttresses and other features. Emergency lights were still on and basic remoterobots carried out maintenance work.

 

In the very center of that great glowcavern was a great circular shaft that plunged downwards with a wide, safety wall edged, rampway spiralling downwards into the depths. Harry said that they had to go that way and so they began a long descent down the spiralling rampway.

 

OldPedro spoke. "There is no obvious reason for building this place."

 

Armilie, of the new LTriplets (Leadership Triplets), spoke. "Only one and that would be to get past the Isolation Bubble that the drop down isolation barriers are part of. There are people moving ahead of us, and behind us, but they are not threatening."

 

UncleLeo spoke. "Rainbowfolk scouts and fighters with now friendly rainbow blops moving with them. BigLilly is going well and that has to do with the rainbow butterfly sitting on her head."

 

Chloe frowned softly. "Why can't the rainbowfolk start to guide the gobblers like they do the blops? Oh, I know why because Supertinzi just told me. They are under the control of something very angry with the Rainbowbaby that would never try to hurt her directly, or secondary aspects or closer followers-minions but would hurt others. That is the Shadowbaby who is linked the shadow butterflies. He is male being a he."

 

She paused before speaking again. "Just as most of we RankScavvies staid back in RejectSanctuary, some more of us will now return there. Supertinzi, myself, one cat, one dog and one robot will continue onwards. Tabatha, Timmy, two lovely felines and so on must go back."

 

So it happened with some of the group vanishing with a soft sparkling shimmer. That was Supertinzi's decision and I do not know why she wanted it so but if she wishes it so it is. We, who died and were resurrected by Supertinzi, now serve her totally. That was back during the 3Doomsdays that she found us all dying or becoming inactive. She saved us the only way she could by making us into secondary aspects of herself. That was over 200 years ago."

 

UncleLeo: "Hattie, your mother who remained back in RejectSanctuary, what is she really?"

 

Chloe sighed. "Never did answer that question before, from you."

 

UncleLeo: "That is because I never asked it; some questions need must be asked at the right moment."

 

Chloe nodded. "True and I wish you had never asked but the answer is she, like others of the RankScavvies, is an organic construct created from my memories and other information. The real Hattie, my real mother, who I really am the real daughter of, turned into a real radghouler. She was not very nice and Supertinzi made the new Hattie much nicer."

 

UncleLeo: "It's not the same!"

 

Chloe nodded again. "Yes but only because it's different."

 

UncleLeo offered a big smile. "You are very wise!"

 

Chloe nodded. "Yes, I know!"

 

OldPedro sighed. "Also humble!"

 

Chloe smiled richly. "Very humble!"

1.31.1[56] Strange Disturbing Discoveries; Museum, Gallery, Zoo or?

 

The group, that had been seeking the abducted TunnelSnakes, found themselves in a great chamber that was quite alien in nature. The vast space stretched out to end only in walls so far off they were indistinct. The great floor was dotted with horizontal disks, covered with transparent domes, and in each display were one or more items. Every display case was a status container.

 

Was it a museum, an art gallery, a zoo or what? It did not quite feel like any of those.

 

A Trex carnivore dinosaur stood status frozen next to a row of different models of protectron robots. A World War One biplane was next to a 2156 RollsRoyce hovercar of impressive build and appearance. A LibertyPrime towered over a display of 18^th Century European paintings in elaborate wooden frames. There power armoured soldiers with varied models of power armour that stood next to special power armoured extreme firefighters. A great big 20th Century stamp collection stood next to a display of beautiful, sexy, young women in skimpy lingerie. There was a Captain Cosmos Adventures display with actual figures, 3Dcomics and other items such as figurines, toys and Tshirts. Next to it was a Grognak the Barbarian display. Some kangaroos stood next to some dolphins in water. These were but a few of the many displays there.

 

Or were they more than just displays?

 

Harry led them to an area of SSVR games being the blops games, gobbler games, racing games, a space invasion game with the Droza enemies and others including Fallout Survival. As they studied the big display dome, and its contents, there were those came to realise that the supposedly real world was perhaps not so solidly real as they supposed; others had always known it to be so!

 

Harry spoke. "This domain is of AlphaOmega of the QEternals. AlphaOmega is both here and not here. AlphaOmega collects display items, sometimes living ones, and has become fascinated with what is going on with what is the GreatGamers and the GreatGame of the GreatGameworlds. 13 supergenius teenagers, of a very advanced immortal human species, were tricked into merging with a vastly more advanced, sophisticated, powerful rainbow artefact. That is one of the RainbowBaby's RainbowToys that are far more than toys being teaching-training devices. The Rainbowbaby was tricked by an entity that should have been trustworthy and so was one who is Harry. Now we need to undo the wrong that has been done while minimising harm."

 

With a sparkling shimmer the three twixtvault scouts vanished away.

 

Harry spoke. "They are biosynths being very hard to detect infiltrators sent by the evil TriInstitute in the slowly-steadily crumbling NewBritish Commonwealth. Yet we all sensed something odd about them. They are now in a new status display dome in an outer part of the ever expanding AlphaOmega Vault of Artefacts."

 

They kept looking around.

1.31.2[57] Strange Disturbing Discoveries; Museum, Gallery, Zoo or?

 

Fallout Ventures was displayed as a SSVR game\gameworld and it did not take much to realise that what the big display dome showed was the world that was largely taken as real; previous game editions were shown in the same dome going from the original late 20^th ones. There were other games displayed there but for evident reasons the Fallout display took center of attention.

 

Harry nodded. "Yes, this world is quasireality, a great big virtual reality gameworld almost made totally true. It is not the only one but it is the one that is closest to becoming some kind of fixed reality, which is something that must be allowed to happen only in a more positive fashion. The quasireality version, of the world, has been changed from the one that the display speaks of but the two realms have much in common."

 

TechiJoe spoke. "We could note down some possible clues, from the display, of what lies out there. We just have to take notes."

 

Harry sighed. "We could but they may easily be wrong or, more dangerously, part right. AlphaOmega is pleased with the gift of the biosynth infiltrators that one deliberately led here. It might please you to know that every living, and quasiliving, entity here is inside a kind of virtual realm where it is at peace. AlphaOmega has a gift for us that can only be used when it is fully charged and which can only be used by some of us."

 

A six sided dice appeared in his hand, resting on his open palm, with slowly-steadily shifting symbols on every surface. Then Harry made it vanish. "We can do some more looking around."

 

Another great chamber had much bigger domed displays. There was the Titanic luxury ocean liner that had nearly been sunk by an iceberg. There was an atomic rocketship that had taken the first astronauts to the moon. There was a eighteen wheeled limousine that was stretchier than any normal stretch one. There was a great big semitrailer bus with a long bus trailer, it being a semitrailer-bus. There was a LibertyPrime. There was a big, gracefully ugly, general purpose aeroship. There were also other, bigger, items.

 

Yet it was when they entered a great chamber of mid range sized display items that a most odd discovery was made. Between a 2065AD atomic family hoversedan, and a smallish steam locomotive, was what looked to be a blue wooden police box of early 20^th Century Great Britain.

 

Harry sighed. "That is a TARDIS, of the Timelords, as captured by AlphaOmega. Now we will need to convince AlphaOmega to free it up..."

 

The status dome vanished and the TARDIS was free.

 

Harry smiled. "AlphaOmega wishes us to enter it and leave with it; the Timelords keep annoying him and he is tired of what he calls their endless 'nagging'. Also the QEternal Continuum Council is not pleased with AlphaOmega over this action. One suggests we leave quickly for AlphaOmega is sulky over the loss of what that one has come to consider as one of one's most prized displays."

 

The expeditionary group went into the 'DocTARDIS' that was greatly bigger inside than it was outside.

1.32.1[58] With Timelords in the DocTARDIS

 

Giftcube/1s vanished-activated in HarryLifecube and TechVault101. That is two Copper Giftcube/1s providing large amounts of general equipment-supplies, two Yellow Giftcube/1s providing special solar network-systems to support life and two Grey Giftcube/1s to provide basic processed material resources. It was a less spectacular gifting as was the Giftcube/13s and yet also important in a more general fashion. Information came through mindwise links to-from others in TechVault101 and in HarryLifecube.

 

DocTARDIS was suspended in timespace as the search-rescue group met with long scarf wearing DocWho, leather leotard clad Leah the junglegirl, three K9bots being of different kinds, Chameleon the shapeshifter android, the two Romana Sisters being non identical Timelord twins, RiverSong, Rose, Claire and Suzanne the Timelord granddaughter to DocWho. There were others but they were else where in the DocTARDIS.

 

DocWho spoke. "As soon as AlphaOmega trapped us, the DocTARDISmind sent us into emergency status mode. We froze in time while waiting for rescue. For us no time has passed during the 121 local years that have passed since the entrapment. Those QEternals are an interesting bunch being like dangerous child gods. Only the AEternals are more powerful, amongst the Limbo Eternals, but thankfully also much wiser also."

 

He quietly studied the J2Quintuplets as he said this.

 

The chamber was very large, stretching into the distance, and was made up of a great maze of passage ways and cubicles. Some cubicles were semienclosed while others were enclosed with doors. All had roofs. Way above floated disk-platforms and the biggest, most central, one had the control console; the platforms were all covered with transparent domes. It was an odd mixture, contradiction, of arid metallic surfaces and softer, warmer, seeming ones. There were floating garden platforms and, amongst the cubicles, small open garden squares.

 

Harry smiled at DocWho. "You are far more than a normal Timelord; part of you is missing!"

 

DocWho looked to Harry with a soft frown. "You are far more than a normal Harry, Harry! As for myself, that can be focused on in future. Tracking the RaniTARDIS will not be easy but the DocTARDIS is an experimental prototype with some interesting extra tricks to her."

 

DocTARDISmind spoke in a strong, almost human, female voice. "One is picking up traces of the RaniTARDIS being also a prototype but much adjusted by the criminally insane scientist of the Rani."

 

The Romana Sisters were mind-melded with each other and into the DocTARDISmatrix that had multiple functionality. In special semienclosing chairs, they were assisting to track the Rani not through her TARDIS but through her Timelord mentality.

 

Suzanne, a proud young woman figure, spoke from where she stood as a purple woman. She was very attractive with some noticeable likenesses to DocWho. She wore a very tight jumpsuit like outfit. "I suggest that all of us, who are not needed to control the DocTARDIS, retire into safe travel capsules. The actual seeking, for the Rani, will be a bumpy ride. The capsules can easily be found in some of the closest cubicles. The DocTARDIS changes its aspect so as to meet changing needs."

 

So that was done!
