Good news and warnings (part 2)

The Never Ending Quest - Episode 3654

"I had more than adequate safegaurds up when I was viewing my analogs," Manbear Synizn said. "It appears that the old Dr. Vincent.....the one of THIS world, was more than right about how powerful the combination of magic and science could be! But, when the analog of our Dr. Vincent got dragged into the picture, he pretty much saved the day....along with the Golem known as Inquirer."

The Dr. Vincent of Fred 3's world had been looking for Fred 3 and Astra 3 in order to give them a belated wedding present and he also had been dragged into the Tower (along with his toaster headed gorilla creation). The ghost had apparently given his living counterpart some mearsure of trust, for the ghost hadn't knocked the old man out like the others. The living analog had eventually learned from his undead counterpart had dragged them all inside in order to get some information about what he sought.

"Not even the living Dr. Vincent knows what the ghost was really after when he read the mind of the Phantoms and some of the others," the bear said. "Mayhap he wanted to initially learn what he could about curing the Phage.....or maybe not. But in the end, the ghost came to believe that the Phage was a good thing, that kept Terra safe from the Alliance and the Enemy. But frankly, that's a line of shit, since the Lizards could easily finish off what they had begun."

"Yes, Malachi.....Malachi Dronocis and the others came to the same conclusion," Fred murmured, still trying to grasp all that the former dragon has revealed. "It's better that the Alliance is around, if only to protect us, and better if they actually DO get to mine the tiberium, in order to finish off those scaley bastards. Terra's life is in danger as long as the Lizards exist, because they'll blew her up if they could.....to deny the Alliance the tiberium."

This brings a grim nod from the manbear.

"I agree," the ursine magi says, and then continues with his report.

"Also, the living Dr. Vincent was horrified to find that though the ghost agreed that the slipgates should be neutralized," the manbear pauses, and then continues. "Though the ghost agreed, he also felt that he should have the use of one of the captured bodies so the pathetic bastard could continue his life where radiation sickness had cut it off! The living analog then hit upon a strategy that was supposed to get the ghost interested in possessing on of the countless discarded Avatars that seem to dot the entire land.....but instead the damn ghost thought that he should instead try to dislocate Inquirer from her Avatar......"

"Is that so bad?" Alicia asks, puzzled. "I mean, it isn't like the female AI would have been put out much. After all, she could just activate another Avatar and direct it's movements like she did with her other puppet body."

"Ah, but that's where you're wrong," the magic using manbear states, glancing back at a blurred image that Fred thinks is the AI in question. "You see, well......let me bring you up to date about what the background stories of the others are......about what happened to them in the other realities and this one before I continue. A recap seems to be in order." ************************
