Another Memo...And Another, And Another, And Another...

(Writer’s Note: You are seeing memos from past, present, and potential future, ie, this isn’t a story told in precise chronological order)

(Please consult File 52 if required) 


K-TDCND Report, File 89


(Kobbers-Trouble, Danger - Containment, Neutralization, Destruction)


Location: Whalestrand, Glastera


Last Year Mission: Operation Monster’s Ball


All rifts presenting overt danger and Disgorged Invasive Elements closed.


Rift I and Rift D questionable. Thought done, maybe not. A ‘open the wound to clean it’ may be required, especially considering The Daughter (see: The Daughter). Rift I likely will require a group similar to the one used to close Rift H (See: Carnevil Mission). Might be able to handle with in-house resources. Rift D still uncertain. The mask remains an unknown.

File 98: DANGER: Codename LORD OF THE DEAD


In all honesty, the best solution for this D.I.Ety might be to try and make sure it either ignores us or decides to look elsewhere. The Kobbers can handle most anything, but some things are beyond them in terms of scope, I fear. The entity’s clear quantum immortality…it might well be unstoppable via sheer inertia. Some things cannot be stopped or saved. I do wish they understood that I don’t keep these things from them because I think I know better, I do it because I honestly fear that they could hurt themselves if they tried and failed. EVEN SO…I know my history. I will at least see if the Planeswardens have a file…

Primary Location Change: New buildings designed by one Shinobi Shaw. I have no idea if his father named him that or he thought it sounded good. A visitor from Spero. Preliminary scouting does not seem to indicate the same kind of trouble that came repeatedly from Weyland’s universe, if just due to much lower resources. He seems to just want to build some of his buildings, he made the necessary purchases, he’s been checked up and down, they aren’t going to turn into bombs or spew out monsters. Beyond that, he can build what he wants within his permits. They’re not really to my taste, but I’m not the one who will be looking for a condo…

File 96: DANGER: Codename MOTHER PUSS BUCKET


We live on finding and granting dreams.


That’s not always a good thing.

File 89 Continued 


On Ground Assets


Leviathan: Unchanged

The Gevaudians: Unchanged


Weav: Beckett Marsello has remained on our world, looking for certain orbs that are tied to his mission. He has located six of them so far: he thinks there might be anywhere from 1 to 3 left. He also was entangled with matters that were related to Eggerman’s incident this year (See: Eggerman, Operation Root Power). Has picked up a ‘debtee’ who refuses to quit following him. I’m sure that won’t lead anywhere. Chastity and Brigh accompanied him for a time, but they returned to Weav once the incident in South America was done. Besides his new friend, he’s on his own.


Likely return of Ian Rapanga to enter a new Brawl. Possible return of Vesper Rapanga to support her cousin, and maybe her sibling. Possible return of Sunny Marsello to do likewise with her sibling.


Hope Ravensky planning to enter Brawl to bodyguard last year’s champion and keep her from being swarmed and try and ensure a decent placement defense. Hopefully it goes better than Merilee’s attempt to aid Trigger last year. Julia Ravensky remains in service in house, working on occasional mission. Will likely pass through Whalestrand a time or two, unless she gets a solid lead on INFORMATION REDACTED.


Side Note: That incident on the world with the Death Angels related to San Francisco and the natural events that occurred there is again a reminder: Kobbers WILL find a way to nearly get themselves killed. I hope Miss Streamer got good footage for how badly Julia had to stick her neck out.


Side Note 2: Vacation for Miss Roberts and Ravensky somewhat interrupted by tiger shark attack. Reason unknown. May just be natural. While on vacation, I was delivered a message by ‘Bones’ for her intentions towards Miss Roberts. I hope she doesn’t get hurt. Which she I mean is yet to be determined. This family is a pain.



FILE 91: DANGER: Codename SECOND NIGHTMARE


Someone has learned something from the Rifts.


Like the Stream, and the Bleed, there’s power between dimensions. As studies into things like zero point energy show, sometimes there’s power where you least it expect it.


Someone has figured out just how to use those Rifts for power. But not for themselves. To…craft. Create, or pull and direct. The Candlemaker (see: Candlemaker), an empowered egregore experiment from Dr. Von Reichter, was the first example of these creations or directed summons. Exact purpose unknown. 


Name of first summoned creature, codename D.I.E.ty/ties: Owuo.



File 71: Attempts to find a Baneblade tank for the Bleak Hills (see: Bleak Hills undead) proving immensely difficult. Do not want to take a working model from soldiers of universe cluster, they have enough trouble without some outside force stealing their stuff.. All ‘not working models’ compromised beyond any use. Considered using one corrupted by the ‘Grandfather’ and using the Bleed to sterilize, but decided it was too much trouble.


File 74: It was suggested to me I just build a Baneblade from scratch. How dumb. Do they think I didn’t consider that?


Actually, I didn’t. A Standard Template Information Store is easier to steal, or copy, rather, than a giant tank. If I can do that, I can get to work.


File 76: Some information corrupted. Can at least build a framework. Tank design is modular. Finding working pieces on ruined tanks is still easier. Still might take some time to be completed. For now they just have a big hollow shell. Still, the giant one was so pleased he could actually fit inside and move the gun around, even if he can’t fire it yet.

File 90: Annoyance. Codename EAT ME SPINACH


Broccoli men?


Why?


—-


File 92: DANGER: Codename BANNER’S TAILOR


I swear someone is mocking me, this world, and the dangerous process the Daughter, and I think someone else, is fooling around with.


That’s just what we need. Another competition. One that involves trying to make gods. Like the one that involved what ACROSTIC and Famardy wasn’t enough.


—-


File 79: Utilized two newcomers in a mission to examine a certain corpse. Incident went somewhat poorly, though neither was injured. That dinosaur wasn’t sick, I swear, it was demonically possessed.



File 81: Utilized those two newcomers again. I sent Julia along, expecting her to do the actual hard business. They just had to watch the baby, since my observation removed the parents from the equation.


 It didn’t work out that way.


Conclusion: I really dislike hamadryads. And trees that bleed when you chop them.



File 83: Have been utilizing residents of ‘Chez Sey’ (I asked where they got the name from, but they said it was a secret in joke) much the last month. Though members of Universe-RTAL (see: Roman, Neo, Mercury, Emerald) have become very wary, new group of Stand users have taken up there. (see: La Squadra) who are more willing. Some background investigation suggests a less than clean past. After Erebus (see: Erebus, Universe GDNB-2) though, that’s not to be held against them unless they decide it should be. Had the group investigate/collect ‘spoor’ in Earths in Universes UD-DE4 and UDWS-HELLA. One has a very useful Stand talent involving mirrors. Might use him as prime task-handler for Operation: Quiet Down.


Donatello is always pleased to see or hear from me. I might be the only person he knows who can actually communicate with him on his level. He managed to talk me into showing him some evidence of ‘other versions’ of him and his brothers. I have sealed some of those files: he’d be better off not seeing some of the worlds his brothers and him have had trouble in. I hope he realizes curiosity killed the cat and satisfaction won’t always bring him back.


Allowed Worlds/Files


DDLHHS-Prime: The supposed ‘origin world’ that seeded all the alternate worlds.

DDLHHS-ADVTE: Most ‘renowned’ alternate timeline split from source. Often very silly, but also due to that, less terrible danger.

DDLHHS-ADVTE-AC: Timeline split from above world around Eye of Sarnorth incident. New adventures, but still rather light hearted ones.

DDLHHS-PATW: Second ‘renowned’ timeline split. One event unable to be sealed without sealing all files. Said event involves alternate Donatello. I have warned him that he probably really won’t like what he sees if he looks at it. It’s tied to events that also affected all the alternate brothers, in different ways; those are safe, mostly. Listed files here


PATW-UD-Leonardo: Saki Aniverse Visit. Wholly safe.

PATW-UD-Raphael: Interplanetary Race. Wholly safe.

PATW-UD-Michelangelo: Supermutant Alternate. Possible mild trauma risk due to villain factor (See: The Sliver)

PATW-UD-Donatello: Timeline Anomaly Future. WARNING: While technically having never occurred due to the nature of the Ultimate Draco incident (not our Draco, see “Ultimate Draco” in main DDLHHS-PATW file), high risk of trauma if viewed by Donatello or his brothers. Consider it akin to a nightmare. Who wants to remember their nightmares?


DDLHHS-MMMM: Third renowned timeline split/alternate. World where a larger amount of mutants, friend and foe, were created. This is the world once seen in a Bobby combat scenario.


DDLHHS-ULT: World combining several aspects of already listed worlds, yet with considerable differences. Origin of brothers rather complicated in this world.


DDLHHS-JHP: More low key world. Notable, though, for the first appearance of ‘Super Shredder’, which would reverberate through numerous alternates.

DDLHHS-JHP-NA: Timeline split from above world after Super Shredder incident. Original world had a time travel incident, the alternate world dealt with a supernatural invasion.

DDLHHS-EWAPR: Very strange world. First world to have contact with ‘Power Rangers’, which other timelines would do in the future. Also first world with INFORMATION REDACTED ON REQUEST OF PETER LAIRD.

DDLHHS-MBE: World where brothers are larger, stronger, and semi bulletproof. Information that in this world the turtles were actually aliens proven to be false.

DDLHHS-BTCGI: Most recently discovered alternate. Second among more notable alternates to have a non Caucasian April O’Neil.


DDLHHS-SSST: World where Turtles and their foes have powered up forms. Two sets for the Turtles, actually. Also a world where a being called “Devil Shredder” is considered a less menacing name than ‘Dark Shredder’.

DDLHHS-NACU: Original version of alternate world Michelangelo visited. Yes, he visited an alternate of an alternate. Michelangelo's visited world solely had the Sliver, while the alternate contained the original foe that created the Sliver, known as Dr. Shreddarius.


SEALED FILES


DDLHHS-TTNTC: World where the Turtles suffered severe injuries.

DDLHHS-TFCW: World where Turtles have grown up and separated. Donatello has gone a little mad.

DDLHHS-TLR: World where there is only one survivor. This file needs to be sealed above all the others, I think.



File 96: DANGER: Codename MIRROR MIRROR


I should have known looking at all those alternates was inviting trouble.


Just their tissue, with tons more issues.


—-


File 86: Inviting Iono along on Operation: Quiet Down was a mistake. Not in regards to the Death Angels. Oh no, I let her see a natural disaster and when I come back Julia had to save her from a likely painful death that had nothing to do with that invasive species.


—-


File 95: DANGER: Codename KING OF MY WORLD


Bread and circuses. Opiate of the masses. Put on the glasses.


The Poison has been dealt with. But the master might be another story…the most banal things can be made gods…and what is time to a god? They get more done in a minute than most do all day…



Unknown Factors: Ein


Ie Cyber-Enhanced Makeup, Unit 6. The sole survivor of Dr. Jost Von Reichter’s attempts to make a new form of humanity. Sort of; the brain of one other ‘unit’ was transferred into the biologically modified form of a panther. This cat-being, unable to communicate but with a sapient mind, has been dubbed “Data-7”. It was released into Ein, or Cyber-6 as her name technically is, but she took Ein as her own name, so that is the one we will use…anyway, into her custody. They have kept to themselves: Ein once needed to feed on the ‘blood’ of Von Reichter’s creations, dubbed “Sustenance”, but Reicher was ‘kind’ enough to provide her with a process to allow her to feed on more ‘traditional’ fluids. She has kept to herself since last year ended, especially with the exact nature of the Candlemaker coming out. Unknown if she’ll assist much with Von Reichter still awaiting trial and under ‘house arrest’.


Then again, there was that empty tube, and what Von Reichter said it possessed. Maybe he is off the board, as is Jose, but there might be a third party in play.


Unknown Factors: Olive Chu


May return, may be occupied with the FDA.


Unknown Factors: Merilee Marsello


May also show up to support her adopted brother. I have heard that perhaps another family member may step over to be ‘the adult in the room’



File 97: DANGER: Codename STOOD IN THE FIRE


When you tamper in the domain of gods, sometimes you find the cast off drift of other gods.


Sometimes, you can make treasure out of another creature’s trash.


There’s something else there. Something somehow tied to Mr. Marsello’s quest. Let’s hope what happened before elsewhere doesn’t happen here. Boston was bad enough. We do not need a Cataclysm.


File 87

Something’s going on in the waters. Some sort of territorial pissings, I think. Might be relevant, might be a side thing that doesn’t require us, like Beckett’s issues and how they related to Eggerman’s issues. Ironic. The two helped each other thwart a danger that threatened them both, without ever realizing they were doing so. How very Seven.



File 99: DANGER: Codename CIRNO’S NIGHTMARE


The city screams.


They scream.


They watch. They watch. They watch. They watch. They watch. They watch. They watch. They watch. They watch.


Is this what Beckett saw? Is this what he and his peers are meant to stop?



Other Notable Factors, Known and Unknown


Kobber Alternate-Verse B-8, nee “Altera”: Current location of Ryoko Onotashi. Attempting to take control of as many disparate forces stirred up in the vacuum after the defeat of the ‘Cobbers’. Has several aides provided by Variola, and several of the Keys. One eye kept on her.


Former Associates of Ryoko: Janus Crescent remains AWOL since the final incidents with Annis. He has been spotted lurking around the wilds and the Bleak Hills. Uncertain what he’s doing or looking for. Danger? Possible. If need be…a memory once more.


Sirius Joestar remains with Easter, as does Gene Sasaki.


Dexter has more or less adopted Prosperity Bixby as his new owner. She is in agreement with this arrangement.

 

Other Unknowns 


Dread Kong, member of Cobbers who escaped battle invasion of our world, location still unknown.


“Robo-Beckett”, creation of Master Control Incident, escaped, location also unknown. Neither seem like effective hiders, which begs a few questions I suspect we’ll dislike the answers to.

File 100


What does a daughter need? A parent. What does a dark force do when their parent has failed them?


Do better.
