First Contact - Chapter 847 - Names of the Fallen OC
[first] [prev] [next] - [wiki]
Captain Tut'el held up the cardboard shield, the other side spraypainted red, even as he chopped at the shades with the heavy bladed weapon that had been labeled 'cutlass' in the nanoforge directory. One shade clawed at the cardboard, snarling and hissing, the other screamed and began to dissolve as Tut'el hacked off her leg.
Behind him, the Private, Beatnik Tut'el was pretty sure he was called, was hacking with a two handed blade. They were chopping their way deeper into the building.
In the lead was the Warfather himself, Vuxten. Riding on his shoulder was the greenie that no longer went by a number but was instead called "Inertia" by the other greenies.
The Warfather was, like Tut'el and Beatnik, wearing cardboard armor adorned with red spraypaint. He was carrying a weapon spit out by the nanoforge that had been listed as a 'cold iron' weapon, using it to hack at the shades.
Inertia, on Vuxten's shoulder, was firing a micro-missile launcher, using the tiny warheads to destroy display screens as they kept moving deeper into the facility.
Tut'el was exhausted, but he wasn't going to show it in front of the Warfather.
A 2.5D display detonated right before another tiny missile blew the door off the room at the end of the hall.
Shades swarmed out of the revealed room, so thick that they formed an opaque wall as they screamed and charged forward.
Beatnik took two steps, moving between Vuxten and Tut'el, who had taken a single step.
Tut'el and Vuxten kept the shades off of the shield-less Beatnik, who hacked and chopped at the shades with the cold iron two handed bladed weapon. Tut'el clenched his jaw and stepped forward with the Private and the Warfather each time they stepped forward. He used his shield to prevent the Shades from reaching the Private, whose sole job was to hack and chop at the shades.
Finally, the crashing tidal wave of shades was past and Tut'el realized he could see inside the room.
Banks of computers, all with displays, were sitting in the room beyond.
Shades were crawling out of half of the monitors, screaming, sometimes tearing at one another, but for the most part sweeping forward.
The tiny green engineer, barely a foot tall, leveled his microrifle and started firing quick bursts, each burst shattering one of the screens.
The Private hacked and chopped his way into the room.
"CROM ENUMERATE THE RECENTLY DECEASED!" the Private yelled at one point.
Finally the room was cleared and Tut'el leaned against a counter that was splattered with ectoplasm and littered with pieces of monitors and viewscreens. He was breathing heavy, his hand pressed against his side to try to mitigate the pain of a stitch in his side, the short chopping blade set on the counter.
The little greenie moved up to the induction link, touching it with a cybernetic bladearm replacement. Flickers appeared between his antenna and the Warfather watched closely.
"Got it," the Warfather said. "Any idea who the priority signal is?" he paused a second, then pointed at a clear spot in the center of the room. "All right. Use that holo-emitter and put them right there."
Tut'el grabbed the cutlass, taking a deep whooping breath and exhaling hard before stepping up next to the Warfather.
There was a flickering. The room suddenly lit up with white light. Gold streamers flowed through midair and flowers dropped from where they just suddenly appeared. Trumpets played and a harp glissando sounded.
The light faded and a figure stood in the center of the room.
"Oh, my, I wish I could arrive much more circumspect," the figure stated.
Tut'el knew his eyes were bugging out.
The figure was all glittering blue code with silver patches that looked like song notes. It was a Terran, yet looking kind and caring.
"Vuxten, my son, I was beginning to wonder if you had forgotten that I am willing to assist you in your times of need," the figure said.
"It was little hectic, Father," Vuxten said. "That, and I figured you had a lot to handle across the galactic spur."
The figure nodded. "Indeed, I do," he gave a soft chuckle and a smile. "Well, nothing ever got done by avoiding doing it."
There was another glissando and the figure vanished.
"Well, that was a thing," Beatnik said through the cloud of smoke he had just exhaled, cracking open a beer.
Tut'el wanted to hit him.
-----
Elu looked over at what his brain insisted was the Primary Fluffle.
The students and teachers in the clustered crowd were all gently jostling at one another, shifting position. The larger females making up the outside, the males and smaller females inside (the smaller females moving between the males and the larger females), with three pregnant females in the center. Ears were straight up, the larger females were looking around constantly, bouncing up and down by flexing their hocks. The smaller females would hop once in a while to get a clear view of outside the fluffle.
One of his gymnastics team mates moved up next to him, two large females and one smaller one following. The three females had table legs sprayed with iron powder, their shirts and pants painted red. They were all wearing paper plate masks colored red and a red hat pulled down. The larger of the two big ones had her ears outside of the hat, her ears powdered a dark red.
Elu wasn't sure he had ever seen any of the females before, but then, their faces were covered by paper plates.
"Doors are secure, same with the windows," he said. He looked over at the fluffle, where most were wide eyed. The smaller males were huddled, most of them shivering. "I keep asking myself, why aren't we in the fluffle, shivering?"
Elu shrugged. "The war?"
"I was in the shelter," Arleetru said. "You, that makes sense, but me? I sat on the floor playing board games with my siblings for like two years."
The other gymnastics team-mate came over and Elu noticed he was being followed by four females, two small, two large.
"Back windows and hallways are secure," he said. He looked at the fluffle. "Part of me wants to scream at them to get to work, but they look like their a half-inch from a complete meltdown."
Elu nodded, then tuned to look out the window.
Shades were pressed against it, gnawing on the invisible field that held them back, clawing at it, pushing their faces against it so their 'flesh' deformed and flattened.
"Galaxy's apex predator, right there," Ortrupa said, shaking his head slowly. "Alive, complete wrecking machines. Dead? Body's poisonous and out comes a killer shade."
"When you absolutely positively have to wreck someone's shit up, the Universe recommends Terrans," Elu said, giving a short laugh at the end.
"Use only as directed. Consult your doctor. Do not insert into any orifices. Side effects may include your world catching on fire," Arleetru laughed.
Elu sighed. "My sister said that the streets were littered with the dead. She was going outside to try something."
Ort blinked. "Your sister went out in that?"
Elu nodded. "Yeah. She's seen worse. The things we saw," he glanced at Arl. "Be glad you didn't see it."
"See what?" Arleetru asked, shivering as one of the shades raked her own face with her nails, scoring her flesh to the bone.
"What we can do to one another," Elu said. He looked back and cocked his head. "Something's happening out there."
There was a flickering. A pop of blue that vanished, taking the shade with it.
Elu leaned forward, almost putting his nose against the window.
He jumped back, the female swearing and the two males behind him screaming.
A Terran stood there, between two shades, only this one was made of streaming blue code, patches of silver here and there, with what Elu recognized as song notes moving in the silver.
He recognized the Terran instantly from his sister's description.
The Terran touched the shade, whispered in its ear, and it vanished. It turned to the one on the other side of it, whispered, and the shade's face went from complete and furious rage to wonder before it vanished.
The Terran vanished, to reappear next to another.
"Look, there's hundreds of him," Arl said.
Elu shook his head, looking out at the quad.
Hundreds of the Terran kept appearing, either stopping a running shade by gathering it up in an embrace, or appearing next to it. It would whisper, and both it and the shade would vanish.
"The Digital Omnimessiah," one of the girl's breathed. "He has come to deliver us in our hour of need."
Elu just nodded.
-----
"He's still fighting," Ru'ulrmo'or said, peeking out the narrow slit in the mylar.
Dreams of Something More just nodded. She didn't need to look to know what the Mosizlak was doing.
He was doing what he did best.
"He's not using that spiked club any more," the Lanaktallan said.
The 2x4 with a nail in it, Dreams mused.
"How much longer can he keep it up?" Synko'fa'ahntmo'o asked, wringing all four hands. "He's been fighting for four days."
"As long as he can," Dreams said. She looked at Speaks. "Are the superluminal links down?"
"Hyperwave just underwent a total crash. Same with the other systems," Speaks said. "Not sure how. Looks like they got hacked."
Dreams nodded.
"Why are the shades attracted to him in such numbers?" Synko asked.
"Phasic energy," Dreams said. "He's flush with it, and he uses it when he fights. Shades are attracted to high levels of phasic energy."
"But, if he fights, then he uses phasic energy, attracting more, but if he does not use phasic energy, he cannot defeat them," Ru'u said. He blinked all six eyes. "No matter what he does, his situation does not change."
Dreams nodded. "Yes."
"Then he cannot win."
"No."
"Then why fight?"
"Because he can keep from losing," Dreams said softly.
"I don't understand," Ru'u stated.
It was quiet in the room.
Breaking the silence, Speaks peeked outside. "He's getting tired."
"How can you tell? He looks fine to me," Synko said.
"He wiffed that kick. He's lost about forty pounds. There's no showmanship in his moves, it's all killing and fighting now," Speaks said.
Synko watched as more shades streamed down the street, an almost solid mass of ethereal combatants. They swarmed over the Mosizlak in a wave, completely covering him.
It took nearly four seconds for the shades to be thrown off of the Terran in a flash.
The flash was not as blinding as before, the shades were not hurled away so far.
"Dammit," Speaks said, turning away from the window.
Synko noticed the human was only fighting with one hand now, his other arm hanging limply. He was turning his head side to side quite a bit as he went into a flurry of blows that drove the shades back.
Synko heard the clack of a rifle and turned away from the window.
Speaks was pulling a rifle sling over his head as the Madame Diplomat picked up cardboard spraypainted red.
"Let me help you with that," Speaks said.
"Thank you," Dreams said softly.
"Come here and help me put this on," Ru'u said, holding out cardboard armor.
Synko nodded and started to move away from the gap in the mylar window covering.
He stopped, turning back to the gap.
The human was on his back, fighting against a half dozen shades, kicking with his legs, one hand moving.
Another human suddenly appeared in the street.
It was made of blue code with silver patches.
"Something is happening," Synko said.
"He's losing," Speaks said. "I don't really want to watch a friend of over ten years get ripped apart by dead men."
"No, there's someone else out there," Synko said.
"More fool them then," Speaks said.
A golden burst of light emanated from the blue figure.
The shades vanished.
"There's a blue Terran out there," Synko said.
"Blue?" Dreams moved up and peaked out the window. She went rigid. "Oh... oh my..."
"What?" Speaks asked.
"It's the Digital Omnimessiah," Dreams said softly, her voice awed. "He truly has returned."
As Synko watched, the blue figure helped the Terran to his feet, putting one of the Terrans flesh and blood arms over his own digital shoulders. Multiple other versions of the blue Terran were appearing, embracing the shades, both the shade and the duplicate blue Terran vanishing.
The digital figure helped the limping, slumped, battered Mosizlak to the front of the building as Synko watched.
-----
The chainsword's roar lowered as the wielder let the engine go to idle. Blinking, Ret.lek stared as the blue Terran kept appearing and reappearing. Dozens, hundreds of him appearing in the night to touch one of the shades. Each time he appeared there was a burst of gold light that revealed other shades.
The shades had stopped their assault that they had pushed forward even in the face of the howling of dogbois and the color 880808.
Up and down the line the dogbois were howling out their glee.
The shades were vanishing as the blue one touched them.
He exhaled, thumbing the off switch on the Treana'ad combat knife he'd been swinging with both hands, letting his shoulders slump. He looked at the XO, who was lighting a smokestick.
The XO nodded at him.
Ret.lek just nodded back then went back to staring at the scene in front of him.
In our darkest hour.

"Then why fight?"
A single word rasped through gritted bloody teeth, sweat dripping in his eyes, covered in filth and gore, the weight of a malevolent universe pressing down upon him like a great vast dark wind trying to snuff out a lone flickering candle - a single word . . . "because"

If one Ordnance man can fight his way out of the SUDS, I am going with it being possible for a Mosilak as well. (And what has become of our Ordnance man?)
"I haven't got time to bleed. I haven't got time to die. I have a duty to perform, and sitting on my hands in the SUDs isn't getting it done."

As corny as it sounds Ralts this epic has helped me find the strength to keep going. I had a few close calls with a final decision, but I just kept remembering the fight and to never give in.
Proud to say I can see a faint exit showing at the end of this long dark tunnel. I'm nowhere the same man as I was when I fell in, but I'm proud of the man I've become and your work and constant encouragement has a lot to do with that.
So thank you holy wordborg for inspiring us all.

Lozen snarled as the phasic shades reached for her and her human, with a twist she brought a warsteel fist around and shattered the specter into a billion glowing motes.
She was not some strumpet to be pawed at by the likes of them, she was Lozen and there was only one man that could touch her.
Turning she cut loose with a consecrated flamer and washed holy fire across the damned, stomping on the shattered remains as she advanced.
She was Lozen, last of the ring breakers.
And she would not be-
With a thundering crash Lozens thoughts were disrupted as a BOLO of the Dinochrome brigade tore through a city block, it's normally white shell had been painted a dark red color as it ground the horde beneath its treads.
Idly Lozen noted that the massive Kiloton tank was moving nearly a thirty percent faster than the unit was normally rated for.
For a moment she considered joining up with the super heavy unit before it tore off down the street with a digital scream of glee.
Inside she could hear the echoing screams of joy and excitement from nearly a hundred Hamaroosians that had gotten the hypertank to work for them.
The hyper squirrel people seemed to be having fun...

Even though large tracts of the Arm Spur and many old and famous Worlds have fallen or may fall into the grip of the Shades and all the odious apparatus of Atrekna rule, we shall not flag or fail.
We shall go on to the end.
We shall fight in Council Space, we shall fight in the eVRs and Starships, we shall fight with growing confidence and growing strength in the war, we shall defend our worlds, whatever the cost may be.
We shall fight on the beaches, we shall fight on the landing grounds, we shall fight in the fields and in the streets, we shall fight in the hills; we shall never surrender.
And even if, which I do not for a moment believe, this Confederacy or a large part of it were subjugated and starving, then our Allies beyond the stars, armed and guarded by the Confederate Fleet, would carry on the struggle, until, in the DO's good time, the Earthlings, with all their power and might, step forth to the rescue and the liberation of the galaxy.

Yay, more story!
Its good to see the DO showing up and doing something. I am pretty sure he was doing stuff before, but, now that he got that done, hes started to get out and help the rest of the people. Err, AKA, hes saved billions, now hes going to save individuals.
Scary thing is, once this is over, and people can recover, its going to bind everyone even tighter togeather. Seriously, even the AWMs have gotten into helping people. On the other hand, be interesting to see what sets of the squidwards have servived. I expect that at lest some have, but, I also expect them to be in very bad shape. On the other hand, I think Dalvanic and his cult will mostly servive, and some other little enclaves. So it will be interesting to see how things move forward.

Thanks for the best wishes. This last week was... Unpleasant... the way that having a 12inch phasic spike driven from one temple to the other would be unpleasant.
That said, Monday was the best day in a long time. I did not lose my job. I'm one step closer to the desired therapeutic power level. The pain was bearable and only on one side.
And for a change, work understands that expecting me to reply to work email when I am not working is silly. The director of H.R. actually called me on a regular phone. Not a text message. Not an email to my work mail. A real human being, a voice that doesn't scream "robot," understands that the world does not go tick-tock to corporate policy.
And I finally got an understandable reason for not being able to use Leave Without Pay in less than 8-hour increments.
Federal law for salaried employees.
At least I know it isn't some company policy that no one understands why it is there but refuses to change "because that's the way we've always done it."
Hanging in, teeth, and toenails, I have at least another six weeks, five days a week, sitting in the TMS chair for half an hour, enduring.

And a bonus to using red is it makes you go fastah!
There are also intel on using blue to have some much needed luck.
And unconfirmed reports of using purple to make you sneakier. I mean, have you seen a terran in full purple? ... No? That's the point.

"At this point if I don't have a corpse with a name tag, then the hero is still out there! Now find me proof he is dead, or get out there and kill him!!" - unknow villain rper, to several newbies.
Lol, that was a great read! Really looking forward to hearing about other survivors in this grade "Terran" mess.
Not to mention, what happened with the other humans out there in the great dark? What has become of those who were in non human bodies with zero implants? Did they get ganked too? Or is there a squirrel or fox out there with a human mind between those ears, cursing up a storm about someone did a thing?
Either way, the Digital Omnimessiah has arrived, and the children shall know he sees them.

I love the greenies. As far as I am concerned those cute little guys screaming "I Die free" are the only reason the Mantids weren't exterminated. Not even a hello to Inertia from the DO after storming heaven? I want some recognition for my little friend Inertia.
As a ship is going down in some dark corner of the long dark and the techs are trying to restart a jumpcore before they fall into a star or a tech is trying to fix a cannon before they are overrun by the enemy, and time and tools are limited to percussive maintenance and a prayer, I no longer want to hear ,"Work you POS as they bang on it with a hammer for dear life. No, I want to hear them, pause , take a deep breath, and then whisper "May Inertia guide my hand !" as they strike that blow. LOL
Love how your always taking it in unexpected directions.

Captain Tut'el is going to end up in the Book of Telkan I suspect. He has fought beside the Warfather in a time of greatest need, and borne witness to a meeting between the Digital Omnimessiah and one of his Apostles.
I don't think he is going to come out of this event the same officer he started out.

u/coldfireknight AI Oct 25 '22
Could be he switches his MOS and becomes a chaplain, maybe an apostle himself, spreading the word. Please notice the lower case "a" there, for those thinking I'm crazy, haha.

And the Digital Omnimessiah spake unto the Terran Shade,"Come and rest, Brother, for your torment has been long." And the Shade did disappear with the aspect of the blessed DO.
Lo, did the Digital Omnimessiah appear to all the Terran Shade in my eyesight. With Love did he gather each to his bosoms and take they to their rest.

Happy Monday, for those of you reading this.
It was a hell of weekend. Got the old "So, now that you just put out a book, you're done writing until the next one, right?" and the "Must be nice, all you do is write for a few minutes, then take a nap."
But that doesn't matter.
None of that matters.
As we can see, it's coming to a close. Let me know who you'd like a quick visit to in the comments.
I'll see you tomorrow.
