Maharg67 Posted May 22, 2020 Author Share Posted May 22, 2020 I have rewritten from [58]57+1=58 (Post #76) the following paragraph as presented below; hopefully it now makes more sense. What was not known about traditional xenomorph ways was that those xenomorphs had not rampaged to consume all they could, to breed as fast as possible, devastating whole worlds; the traditional way was balanced for longer term colonisation of worlds. It had even included making peace with local creatures including ones of 'higher intelligence'. Less worlds had been conquered but far less xenomorphs had been killed and instead of very many xenohives being wiped out, very few had been. The 'traditional' xenomorphs had had a kind of cold, practical, concern for each other but now all 'loyalist' ones were considered expendable except for the XenoEmpress.

Maharg67 Posted May 22, 2020 Author Share Posted May 22, 2020 [62]61+1=62 The PaleOneEnvoy, PaleOneAide and PaleOneSage departed from the BetweenPentagon and went to the Celestial Child Goddess deep in the depths of the HavenTARDIS. They made sure that she was okay, which she was, and then passed onto her assistance from the PaleOneCollective. Now 13 PaleOneGuardians helped protect her who each could summon 13 PaleOneGuardiaks who could each, in turn, summon 13 PaleOneGuards if it was necessary. They also gave over a whole lot of goodies to meet 'her' wants and needs. The HavenTARDIS continued to transform so that it was slowly-steadily ceasing to be a TARDIS and was becoming something quite different and more 'celestial'. Those in 'it' were also being influenced by the changes except for those like the PaleOnes, and the Banjoband who were beyond such influences. It was becoming clear, to an increasingly large number of people, that the HavenTARDIS was somehow central to what had been happening, what was happening, and what would happen in WashingtonDC and beyond.

Maharg67 Posted May 22, 2020 Author Share Posted May 22, 2020 (edited) [63]62+1=63 There was splintering, within the incredibly ancient antinatural entity that was deeply of the Hungering, having too many names to remember. One was the Zerovoidis, another was the GreatHungering and yet another was the 1Az13Za39 being the truly massive AIsupercomputer DeepThought's designation for it. It was the Distorto that the great fools, of the GrOzozona, had unleashed upon themselves and had destroyed all but one human, in the Dead Space Event, the one human actually being not truly mortal in nature. It was splintering partly because it was largely trapped in the ShadowPentagon while its 13 offshoots were ever becoming entangled in war with each other, and yet others, instead of being totally focused on saving it. It was splintering partly because there was not enough life to feed upon in the ShadowPentagon to truly ease its Hungering let alone to truly cure it; its aspects were starting to attack other aspects to feed upon them. It was splintering mainly because it did not understand, or truly want to understand, its own true deep antinatural existence that the Celestial Baby Goddess had unintentionally helped to create by making the sort of mistake any child could make; only being of the Celestial Deities the implications of such a mistake were potentially very great as this one had been. She had tried to help the antinatural entity instead of letting it die thus moving on to its next stage in existence where it would have found peace. Even in the Zerogod's growing chaos it did not hold any grudge for the Celestial Baby Goddess but hoped that she could help it somehow. What it did not know was that a very unexpected threat was trying to take advantage of its current state so as to exploit it and even to absorb its power if it could get away with doing so. It hid, as deep as it could, in the ShadowPentagon where it wove black, glistening, webs to capture lifeforms and feed on them. This was both to strengthen itself and to better starve the Zerogod that it once served faithfully or at least it had pretended to do so. Yet it was not just one but was the 1Genius13 that the 13Genius13 had once served before even they could no longer tolerate doing so.

Maharg67 Posted May 23, 2020 Author Share Posted May 23, 2020 (edited) [64]63+1=64 Carefully the Zerogod reached out to the Celestial Baby Goddess, forming stage one of an agreement with it. The CBG fed it a burst of purity lifelight; in turn it sent to a place a whole lot of useful resources, that it could not use, that the HavenTARDIS picked up. The Zerogod swirled with relief, beginning to repair itself, and becoming aware of the 1Genius13 and its antics. As it began a transformation a decision was made that the ShadowPentagon would be changed, as it was, to be its new long term home. Before that could happen there needed to be carried out a number of tasks focusing on its redemption for past crimes and its assistance to the CBG. There were still mysteries to clear up and questions to be answered in a hopefully more final manner. Edited May 23, 2020 by Maharg67 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maharg67 Posted May 23, 2020 Author Share Posted May 23, 2020 [65]64+1=65 Romana had tried to get into the three fake cottages, of the elite unique TARDISes, for some time but had failed. Then, one day, the first one in the row had opened up with the front door swinging outwards in front of her. Into the airlock like lobby chamber she went. The outer door changed as she looked around at the mostly authentic cottage features including furniture, fittings and decorations. The blood stained alter, in one corner, with its grey Timelord skulls, somewhat spoiled the general theme as did the hand prints, of dried blood, against a large mirror. Yet there was no real sense of threat. The inner door opened and a very aged looking man stood there in a Timelord robetunic. Except that he was both growing older and younger at the same time. It was a disturbing, conflicting, appearance to observe even by a very experienced Timelord as Romana was for she had seen numerous bizarre phenomena. The other spoke. "We all went insane! Some fought each other to the death but some became as you see with me; most are in statuspods. She is here, the CelestiFateWoman, and wishes very much to talk to you. By the way I was your great grandfather but now I am monstrous." Romana hugged him, clearly surprising him. "You are my great grandfather, Regana of the Timehous of CrantropaSie, and will always be. Did you discover anything useful, interesting, in the deep past." Regana smiled. "We will go to the CelestiFateWoman and then we will talk of such matters." The inner door opened to a big chamber that Romana noted was far too big for the external cottage but, then again, it was a TARDIS. The CelestiFateWoman sat in an old fashioned self rocking chair and wore what a country woman, living in a English cottage in the early 20th Century might easily have done. She was knitting a silvery metallic device of some kind with amazing speed and efficiency. She smiled warmly at Romana. "Sweet time child, like DocWho you really do not understand what you are; that is not a regular Timelord but a Timechampion reincarnated as is your twin sister Rosana. What the Timelords, of this TARDIS, did discover was that the Distorto was linked with the rise of the First Timelords who captured it and exploited it before it escaped from their control. Those Timelords called themselves the 1Genius13 as a code name only. That was to change later." Regana nodded, as if to himself. "We struct a great, powerful, time travel barrier that was not natural. Then were were attacked and our TARDIS ended up trapped in a place where the Distorto was in control. It had not attacked us the first time, that was from an unknown Timelord Faction, but then the Hungering drove it to do so. For centuries were fought against it and then celestial forces rescued us and next we survivors knew, excluding those in status, were were here." The CelestiFateWoman smiled even as the 'knitted' mechanism was completed as a golden cube with a black button on top. "In a mortal realm those like myself sometimes find it safer, for mortals around us, to use temporarily existing devices such as this one." Regana smiled, which had a strange effect on his face. "Then, perhaps, it is time." The powerful Celestial just smiled and the cube button seemed to press itself down. There was a soft shimmering sparkle than ran through everything. The three cottage disguised TARDISes had become the HexiTARDIS of six self contained, but still interlinked, SubTARDISes that were permanently fixed together. Three had been the fake cottages, of long time range, TARDISes. One was a shard space serving them all. One was a special service support area for the whole HexiTARDIS. The last one was the special HexiTARDIS control SubTARDIS. Even as Romana absorbed this information she found she knew that the unofficial true picture was different from the official one and that it had to be so. Her great grandfather was cured and so she hugged him again. The CelestiFateWoman was gone, almost as if she had never been there, but she had left behind a whole lot of gifts in coppery, silvery and golden cubes.

Maharg67 Posted May 23, 2020 Author Share Posted May 23, 2020 (edited) [66]65+1=66 It seemed to come out of nowhere, not quite in the ShadowPentagon or out of it, smashing the Zerogod to one side that fell back in surprise but was less damaged, than it could have been, if not for the lifelight given to it by the Celestial Child Goddess. It was no Blackglodeity. It was not the 1Genius13. It screamed in utter rage that its amazingly long term plan was coming unstuck and it wanted to strike out at the Celestial Child Goddess. It was of multiple names, sharing a few with other deities in other to better hide itself. It had manipulated the 1Genius13 that in turn had exploited the Zerogod. Its manipulations, of the 1Genius13 had led to its growing madness and had led to the 13Genius13 departing from service to it. It had tried to stop all three long time traveling TARDISes from going back into the deep past, of the Timelords, so that the Timelords in them would not learn of its origins. Abruptly, suddenly, shockingly, it found it could not get anywhere close to the HavenTARDIS that was becoming the Celestial Havenporter. Then it was hurled back into the depths, of the ShadowPentagon, even as the Zerogod slipped into the HavenTARDIS and the special area made for it. Frightened, the 1Genius13 fled from the ShadowPentagon as did multiple other dark entities. Now only the unnamed 'it' remained there.

Maharg67 Posted May 23, 2020 Author Share Posted May 23, 2020 (edited) [67]66+1=67 The air convoy, of Plastics aircraft, flew across the Big Back Yard as it followed one of the great flagstone footpaths towards the big tree with its tree house. There, on the great flagstone ring surrounding the living wooden mountain, the aeroplanes landed and were soon unloading their contents including tracked machines that were soon becoming buildings again. Defences were raised of fortified walls, gun turrets, guard towers and more. When the savage red, plastic, ants came they were hurled back with heavy firepower but then the attackers were being just as brutally assaulted by black plastic ants. The reds quickly turned to deal with what were probably, for them, traditional enemies. The Redants were soon spitting fire but the Blackants were bigger, and physical stronger, with bigger pincers. The two plastic insect armies parted ways with each other and retreated into the depths of the Big Back Yard Lawn with their relatively great big blades of grass. Shyla stood in a plastic guard tower looking out over the great grassy scene, or at least as much as she could see. "I never I would have experiences like this one." Stella shrugged. "Who, in our position would have done. I take it that from here we launch scouting flights to see if we can track where the Mottles went to." Shyla nodded. "Jets, propplanes and helicopters! Ginger caught up with us and is sleeping, all curled up, being protected by doting plastimans. Amazing! To them she is like a feline living goddess." Stella looked thoughtful. "There may be greater truth to that idea than you intended." Which was when the cat like voice spoke mindwise to them. "Yes, one is an avatar extension of the Celestial Child Goddess but be careful about speaking, or even telepathing, this truth." Night was falling as lights, including search lights, switched on as darkness began to fall. The light-dark cycles were much longer in that realm when it came to the perspective of smaller entities.

Maharg67 Posted May 23, 2020 Author Share Posted May 23, 2020 (edited) [68]67+1=68 Some of the very first Timelords were amongst those that came from the distant future in a special type TARDIS. They, in their experimental TARDIS, had slipped into an alternative universe with different rules. They had picked up refugees fleeing what they called persecution from enemies jealous of their immortality that allowed them endless regenerations. The CelestiFateWoman had returned, almost as if she had always been there, to show how that TARDIS had gotten to very ancient Gallifrey of that alternate universe. There had been no Timelords back then but soon they were emerging to take brutal control over the much more primitive Gallifreyans. Mount Chronos was changed to the Timelord Academy, Citadel and City. The dark period of Timelord history began as other Gallifreyans became mostly slaves and StealthTARDISes mad raids on other worlds for tech secrets, slaves and other vital resources. There was a great, big, war that was not the Timewar which was, thankfully, unable to reach back that far. Not just general Gallifreyans rebelled but so did Timelords including a few powerful ones. They were joined by offworlders landing in powerful fleets of timespaceships. The Timelord Dark Age ended to be followed by the Timelord Reformation Age. The massively distorted, massively sized, other experimental time time travel TARDIS appeared in outer Gallifreyan Orbit, close to one of its moons, and the Timebominations had attacked firstly that moon's scientific colony. The 'thing' that had absorbed that TARDIS was that which had been unintentionally created as a side effect of the Celestial Baby Goddess' attempt to help the Zerogod. It had manipulated matters to create the Timelord Dark Age only to see it fail. Hatred, distorted rationalisation, had seen it attack the home planet of the Timelords. A great flash, of lifelight, had struck it and then the twisted TARDIS was gone along with the 'thing'. The invasion, of Gallifrey, had ended before it could really start except that a small number of Timelord were lightly 'infested' with something truly terrible. Perhaps that was what led to the Timelord Chaos Era and the Timewar along with the existence of dark Timelord renegades like MasterTime and the TimeRani. Even such as the CelestiFateGods did not have all of the answers or at least they did not just provide them to anybody at any time in any place.

Maharg67 Posted May 24, 2020 Author Share Posted May 24, 2020 (edited) [69]68+1=69 They wove in and out of time, regenerating either as themselves or by stealing the lives of others. They had been the endlessly regenerating refugees that had supposedly been fleeing from those jealous of their immortality and who had been saved by sick, unthinking, Timelords. The truth was that they were monsters causing trouble including the creation of other monsters. They were not true immortals but a kind of vampiric entities. They had served 'it' out of a twisted form of faith but also fear for they were its terrible, prize, progeny. It had created them so that they would endlessly wander though time, and space, causing trouble while they sought to find where the Celestial Child Goddess was supposedly hiding. Having fled from Gallifrey, at the time of start of the great rebellion, the Timevires had found themselves being relentlessly hunted by extremely powerful, talented, disciplined foes. Every time they thought they were both safe, and had lots of mortal victims to feed on, they had been forced on the run again. It never occurred to them that the entities chasing them were serving 'it' and that every time they reported their new locations to it that it sent the pursuers after them. That is until they began to suspect the constant 'coincidences' of such matters and decided that one way loyalty was to be dropped.

Maharg67 Posted May 25, 2020 Author Share Posted May 25, 2020 [70]69+1=70 It was now named the Antizero as being an unintentional side effect of the Celestial Baby Goddess helping the Zerogod. It was certain that it was trapped in the ShadowPentagon by its enemies; in truth it was trapped by itself. The naming had given it a more solidly defined existence that made it stronger in some ways but more fragile in others. 'Naming' to such entities was the opposite of a meaningless act. Antizerolings sprang out from it, as minions, racing through the ShadowPentagon that was now slowly-steadly fragmenting and shrinking as fragments, at the 'edges' vanished away. The PaleOneHunter, the PaleOneScout, the PaleOneWarrior, and the PaleOneChampion led an army of PaleOneFollowers, and even more PaleOneMinions, against the swarms of Antizerolings that came at them in waves of confused hatred, sometimes attacking each other instead of the PaleOnes. The fighting had to be carried out as it helped distract the Antizero from the actions of those cutting off a thin, but important, link between it and the Zerogod along with the Celestial Child Goddess. There came a strange sensation that seemed to run through everything, as that link was cut. The ShadowPentagon became no more. The 1Geneg13 was spat through time-space to arrive back at Doomsday where the energies unleashed, there, destroyed it but was that permanently? The PaleOnes found themselves in the new PaleOneZone in the Havenporter that was formerly the HavenTARDIS being now greatly more sophisticated, exotic and advanced than any Timelord TARDIS. Toyland was also imported into the Havenporter but not the Mottles who had vanished from it. Peace, and rejuvenation, began to spread across that domain but there was still trouble to be had there. The 13Genius13 were still out there, on the loose, perhaps being behind the creation of the Mottles. There were also the other Zerodeities, of the ZeroPyramid, of which the XenoEmpress was but one high level member of. Would there be a power struggle, between the three Zerosemigods and nine Zerodemigods? Ripples, of change that were mostly subtle, spread out from that world and outwards through that solar system and beyond. The Warworld had less subtle ones.
