1.32.2[59] With Timelords in the DocTARDIS

 

DocTARDIS materialised in a big cave tunnel where the group, travelling to the Madmazzen, entered to join the TunnelSnakes search rescue group. Now there was one, larger, team of two ASisters, eight SSisters plus nine clones from them, six ESisters, ten JSisters, other Venturers including Dogmeat, some RankScavvies, UncleLeo, BigLilly and OldPedro. None of the original ETriplets, SQuadruplets or JQuintuplets were there but were in HarryLifecube.

 

Somehow, with out openly discussing the idea, a WhoTeam was formed to join the Venturers, a name now covering the whole three groups in one. DocWhat, a superclone to DocWho, would go along with Suzanne, Dazanne a superclone to Suzanne and the three K9bots. One was a hovering, squared off K9A/01 while another was a metallic dog like K9B/01 and the third was a very dog like K9C/01.

 

Lassana, daughter to DocWho and mother to Suzanne, had been working on the K9bots along with other projects. She was busy in the well secured, sealed off, DocTARDIScore. The Timelords appeared to be most reluctant to speak of her or what she was doing.

 

It was quickly decided that only smaller teams would go out from the DocTARDIS with changes in team members.

 

The trail, of the RaniTARDIS, had taken the DocTARDIS to when-where it had met the travelling Venturers group and this was generally not considered to be a coincidence.

 

Servoglobes floated through the air, or sped faster through it, being multiple purpose robots so advanced that it was questionable if they should be called such. The servoglobes never left the DocTARDIS. There were also clones that were less advanced than the superclones, other robots and even androids but these were not encountered by the 'outsiders'. Then there were the only hinted at 'others'.

 

​So what was the connection between the group, that had abducted the TunnelSnakes and experimented upon them, and what was happening in the Madmazzen?

2.3.1[60] Battling the Droza: Saving Spacestationships

 

Droza came at the SolFed warships, in 3D cone formations, being mostly basic attackdroza but with some faster assaultdroza and slower battledroza. Attackdroza were better armoured-armed than were assaultdroza while being smaller and less armour-armed than battledroza. Assaultdroza were less armoured-armed than were attackdroza but much more agile in aerospace combat.

 

SolFed battledrones, fighterships and new type aerospace interceptors blew apart the enemy when they could, destroying many of them, but massive drozabaseships lay in the background that manufactured new machines as fast as they could.

 

The SFSS Enterprise unleashed a massive railgun blastbolt and a drozebaseship disintegrated, the blast taking out many smaller Droza along with the very big one.

 

Admiral Kirk commanded the battle fleet but not the ship itself. She noted the appearance of two very big wardroza, each being about the size of a drozabaseship. Wardroza did not manufacture smaller Droza but carried plenty of them including the smallest kinds of Droza being the dronedroza. Dronedroza were designed to invade the interiors of enemy spaceships, spacestations and other structures; once there they would try to destroy them from inside.

 

Four SolCon destroyers attacked, under her command, the wardroza and destroyed one but one destroyer exploded dramatically. Being autorobotic, modern fighting vessels carried surprisingly small crews for their size, who were often brainlinked into network-systems, but every loss was a hard one.

 

The enemy kept coming and though their reinforcements were no longer increasing neither were they decreasing in number.

 

Five massive spacestationships, transformed improved as were other vessels of many factions, fought attacking assaultdroza even as they steadily retreated. The faster assaultdroza got to them as a first wave and were fast vanishing as they were blasted, disintegrated and lasered.

 

The spacestationships had become a semiautonomous part of the SolFed as other SolFed members already were such as Mars State, Luna State and the Belt Colonies. Junkspacers became SolFed Junkspacers, a seminomadic state.

 

The Belters Union was busy fighting Droza, along with SolFed and SolCon allies. Those battles, in the Asteroid Belt, were highly destructive but so far the Droza had lost far more than their foes.

 

Another drozabaseship was wiped out as a zetan mothership wiped it out from a safe distance. Then it blasted apart the last one and then the surviving Droza were dramatically self destructing.

 

Destroying all drozabaseships in an area caused all other Droza in that area to end. It was a detail reflected in the actual SSVR game that many now played just to learn more of the fictional threat somehow made real.

2.3.2[61] Battling the Droza: Gaining Won Prizes

 

So there came to the spaceships, of a wary alliance, won gifts from destroying the Droza that were Antidroza attack craft, upgrades of special Antidroza weapons-defences and even new information on the Droza. For the Droza drozabaseships came from one great semimobile drozasuperbase and if that was destroyed a whole great Droza battlefleet would be destroyed.

 

The drozasuperbase was in orbit around Jupiter where it was protected by many Droza including big drozaspaceforts, drozabattleships and drozabattlecarriers. Zetans fought the Droza there but from a distance for they were outnumbered-outgunned at closer ranges.

 

Admiral Kirk ordered the fleet to set out for Jupiter via two staging points where it would gain reinforcements. Five capital SolFed ships were escorted by a dozen smaller ones, by new smaller-faster antidrozadarts and bigger-slower antidrozasaucers.

 

The remaining SolCon destroyers were there along with a Zetan mothership and its two saucerships of an escort.

 

Kirk knew very well that they needed more numbers, more vessels, even with the positive transformations that had taken place and the Antidroza gifts gained. Perhaps they also needed more than that, that is something very special for she suspected that they would face more than the Droza.

 

Changes were happening to the solar system as off phase worlds began to pop into visible existence, as they shifted phasewise closer to the home system. Gallifrey of the Timelords, Skaro the Warworld and Pandora the mined out desolation along with others.

 

The changes were often both visible and fascinating being augmented with reports from SolFed locations across the solar system.

1.33.1[60] Madmazzen Ventures

 

The first expeditionary group, Venturers, made their way through crazy mishmash areas part artificial and part natural, dotted with left overs from TechVault101 construction. Gobblers did not attack but reports came to them that fights between them, and rainbowfolk with their bops allies, were taking place not far away.

 

Harry said that rainbowfolk, the rainbowbops, were arising from the power-influence of the Rainbowbaby. That rainbowfolk were a mixture of converted folk, clones from them, other clones, special androids and special robots along with yet others he could-would not speak of.

 

There was a way, through the Madmazzen, to the DCWastelands. Yet there were hints that there were, in that weirding place, pathways to other places including, perhaps, those on other worlds.

 

They were still seeking to rescue the TunnelSnakes!

 

They came upon Jumbletown, a settlement inside the outer part of Madmazzen, where there were many junkbots along with fewer humans and ghoulkind. There were even some friendly supermutants. Jumbletown was in a series of caverns with the buildings being smaller caves and the caverns being given over to the cultivation of food and other resources. It was a glowcavern with glowcrystal providing light-warmth and helping exotic crops grow. The two exceptions were the markets cavern and the sporting cavern.

 

The DocTARDIS materialised there and the expeditionary group rejoined it. Then some of the DocTARDIS folk were visiting the settlement's small open market.

 

The Rani, along with some others, had been there and had bought up some exotic resources such as glowshooms and radroach poop. She had been icy cold, had disturbed the locals, but she had also been generous in her payments and had caused no trouble. So the Timelord had come, and gone, very quickly and quietly.

 

Yet she had also gained some very interesting information.

1.33.2[61] Madmazzen Ventures

 

There was a shaft going up to a shallow cave system with a series of cave entrances leading out into the Wastelands. One was very close to Megaton, a large settlement based in-around-beside-beneath a great disintegration crater. Based in Inner Megaton were the Founding Families, the Children of Atom and various lucky citizens who lived and worked there, if they worked at all. That was inside the massive Inner Wall.

 

Outer Megaton was the rougher area with semicitizens living, working and doing otherwise between the Inner Wall and smaller, but still big, Outer Wall. Small groups had been going, secretly, between Jumbletown and Megaton. This had been going on for decades. The Overseers had not officially known of this but semiofficially had noted what was going on and had taken advantage of such comings-goings at times; that is they had gathered information.

 

Yet, theoretically, there was another way to get to Megaton!

 

OldPedro spoke from where he sat on a wooden stool in a large cave chamber that the group had rented out. "They call it the Madmazzen Subway Station for want of a better name. It is very large and designed like a military site. People got only to the outskirts before being warned off by lots of robots, drones and turrets. What they glimpsed was a huge chamber with great platforms and massive, heavily armoured, monotrains. There were power armoured soldiers but they did not move."

 

Harry spoke calmly but with a tone of concern. He sat, on the ground, with Dogmeat's head resting on his lap. "That is a place of evil, a storage place of dire superweapons. Something went very wrong there. The power armoured soldiers are long dead. It is in the Madmazzen Subway Station, really named S1S1S, that a superweapon was either accidentally or intentionally detonated. Most people, in the great base that goes beyond the subway station, survived but some malformed into monsters while many died. Those power armoured soldiers were amongst the lucky ones to die so quickly. Anyway a gateway, of sorts, opened up close to that big chamber. From it came the bops and then the gobblers but perhaps, also, other things."

 

Harry sighed. "I am not sure where that information came from but it was given as a gift. Also the Chaoticos, that failed to attack us in the twixtvault, is out here and has begun to attack survivalist settlements. Except that the survivalists have been assisted, by the transformations, and are doing much damage to the attackers. I do not know if the DocTARDIS can go into the Madmazzen because of the strange dimensional distortions taking place there."

 

DocWho sat on another wooden stool, basic but well made in Jumbletown. "The DocTARDIS will remain hidden just outside of Jumbletown and a small, well picked, team will go to the base where the Rani group went, according to clues that we have picked up. I suspect that the RaniTARDIS is hidden in this area but trying to find it will be a waste of time for it will be only semiactive and impossible for even the DocTARDIS to trace."

 

Junista spoke. "I suggest that I go to support Armilie."

 

Armilie nodded. "Jessier and yourself along with the four SSisters here. The RankScavvies might be better off remaining in the DocTARDIS, at least for now, and also UncleLeo with BigLilly."

 

UncleLeo nodded. "At least until more is learned. Also our large sizes could easily make our travelling through the Madmazzen very difficult."

 

Harry spoke. "I could take you, and some others, in a transdimensional pocket."

 

So on went the discussion until it was decided that some would go in Harry's transDpocket while others moved outwardly with the team being the previously chosen ones along with OldPedro, Suzanne and both some clones and K9bots. Suzanne would bring a quasiTARDIS that had many interesting capacities.

 

Soon the chosen team would set out for the survivalist settlement of Quinzatolla. Except that they were soon to be joined by rainbowfolk, who were openly classed as survivalists, and their rainbowbop allies.

1.34.1[62] Rainbow Revolution

 

Rainbowfolk rose through out TechVault101 being mostly young adults and older children. After 24 hours they were in command of TechVault101 and much of TechZone101. Alphonse Almodovar quietly surrendered, announced his retirement from politics and went home to his apartment only to find himself asked to return to his office as official adviser to the rainbowfolk. They needed his experience and were quick to recognise it, to accept it.

 

Newly appointed PrimeAdviser Alphonse Almodovar had suspected the truth what with the increasing appearance of rainbow butterfly symbols on walls, small softly glowing rainbow butterflies and odd activities by mostly young folk. Yet most of his fellow Overseers had refused to see the warnings while the Security Overseer had at first been some what paranoid and then had surrendered to the inevitable.

 

Rainbowfolk came enhanced mind-body-spirit, that is with psychic-psionic abilities and what some called 'rainbow magic'. There were soon more upgrades taking place with current technologies and the appearance of new tech.

 

A large research development project began that both both secretive and somehow linked to HarryLifecube.

 

Lifesphere101 continued to evolve, expand, and to absorb TechZone101.

 

Amata became PrimeOverseer with the support of her father.

 

TechVault101 had mixed features both from its origins and the changes that had taken place.

1.35.1[63] DocWho and Chloe have a talk

 

In a large DocTARDIS chamber DocWho was doing some fine tuning work, along with DocTARDISmind.

 

Chloe frowned at DocWho. "I think I would make a good TARDIS pilot!"

 

The Timelord smiled at her. "Only Timelords can pilot a TARDIS and only while merged, at the edges, with a TARDISmind. Now, you could learn more about TARDIS operations. DocTARDISmind will assist you. I am rather busy."

 

Chloe sniffed. "You are trying to get rid of me as a mere child but I am over a 100 years old."

 

DocWho sighed. "I am 1,000s of years old."

 

Chloe snorted. "That would explain why you are so cranky and obstinate against good ideas. I am part Timelord and I had a strange vision dream that showed that one day, in an emergency, I would pilot something called a demiTARDIS to save lots of people and things and other things and other people."

 

DocWho gave her a thoughtful look. Then he will nodded. "DocTARDISmind will assist you to learn to pilot a demiTARDIS, which part Timelords can do, but so will others and myself and also others."

1.36.1[64] The DocTARDIS dematerialises

 

All of those, who were meant to be in the DocTARDIS, were in it when it suddenly dematerialised with out warning. The Timelords had indicated there was time to go before this would happen and they had proven to be honest, and dependable, with their word.

 

Search-rescue teams were very soon going through the safer parts of the Madmazzen but not only found no traces but no word either. Rainbowfolk, and rainbowbops, were part of the efforts that were constrained from going into more dangerous areas, of the Madmazzen, by common sense and roving swarms of gobblers.

 

Then word came from those, mindlinked to those in the DocTARDIS but who were in HarryLifecube, that the DocTARDIS was safe and so were those 'inside' it. Except they did not know where-when the DocTARDIS was because neither did the TARDIS or those in it. Nor did they know what force, both powerful and subtle, had 'abducted' the DocTARDIS.

3.1..1[65] DocTARDIS in a vortex

 

The DocTARDIS whirled through a greater whirling vortex like some great spiralling down patterns of energies as phantom DocTARDISes flittered, flickered, flashed as reflective alternatives. Some were identical appearing but their were variations of colour, languages, shapes and much else of what were supposedly other versions of police telephone boxes. Those inside the amazing Timelordic machine were all safely in secured status except a sleepy DocTARDISmind that was semiconscious of what was taking place.

 

Then, abruptly, the DocTARDIS materialised in...
