Octa shook her head as she sat up. Well, she didn't think it was possible to even go unconscious in a virtual reality world, but here she was.
"Ohmycod!! Eight!!" Pearl exclaimed, zooming toward her. Pixels appeared around her, and she transformed from her drone body to her regular inkling body in a flash. "You alright? Your head hurting? Lemme check your eyes, kiddo!"
"I-I am alright, Pearl. Thank you." She put her hand outward to let the inkling know, pushing herself to her feet. "I am used to the bigger sort of falls. The two kids- they are alright?"
"Yeah, thanks to you. You broke their fall. Even though were in a virtual reality, seems that you can still feel pain. Annoying, if ya ask me."
"Oh! And Marina?"
"I've been waiting for you to wake up actually, Octa. I feel I have some explaining to do." Marina walked up to the two of them, the two agents in tow.
"Explaining...oh yes! Where are we, Marina?"
"We're inside a virtual reality known as the Memverse; it's a program that I designed for people, specifically those who have been sanitized, to regain their memories and sense of self." She explained, typing away at her laptop. "In fact, you should already be somewhat familiar. I had you playtest the beta version a few months ago while we were on the world tour."
"Hold up- so Octa knows about this place?" Mirage asked incredulously. "And she didn't say anything??"
"To be fair, the beta model of this place looked EXTREMELY different from now. I barely had the levels themselves modeled out. I bet she barely remembers me making her play through them."
"Yes...it all makes sense. I knew that the elevator felt familiar. You said that you wanted it to be like slowly rediscovering yourself, one step at a time." She nodded along.
"Yes...anyway, it was all fine, until it wasn't. There was a weak point in the main component of my system...one that I named Order. It went completely against my coding! Worse yet, someone found the insecurity and hacked into the Memverse and is changing it up! It's all going wrong..."
"Don't worry, 'Rina! We just gotta take out this hacker and fix the problem with the Order system right? You can just use your laptop and fix it!"
"I wish it was that simple Pearlie. You see...I may have borrowed the outline of the TARTAR program to make the Memverse. Permission from the human professor and Kama, of course. And uh...so you know those Sea Cucumber phones that have gotten crazy popular the last few years? Apparently, THOSE also used the outline of the TARTAR program, and...well, to not overcomplicate things, I may have accidentally gotten everyone that owns one of them sucked into the Memverse?"
Dead silence.
"How careless!!!" Minu exclaimed.
"I'm sorry! I had no idea the phones had the same coding! I meant to report it initially, but I got so caught up...ooh, I feel awful..."
"Nevermind. It doesn't matter now. Can't you just hard reboot the system?"
"That's the problem. You see, everyone has to be logged out before I can do that, but...there's THOUSANDS of people's consciousness logged into the Memverse. Dragged in against their will, unable to leave. If I were to do a hard system reboot, with all of us in here, it would sever the connection between our real world bodies and digital ones. In other words- we'd be stuck here forever. Goners."
"AAAAAGH! WHY WOULD YOU MAKE A SYSTEM THIS TERRIFYING?!?!?!" Minu exclaimed. "Then how are we supposed to get out?! Stop Tara?! Not die?!?!?"
"I do have one option for us: we stop the hack and malfunctioning software internally. We have to go to the control room. And the control room is-" Marina pointed to the top of the Spire of Order, which was now greatly expanded into the sky. "All the way at the top."
"So you are saying in order to save everyone's minds and stop Tara and Order, we must climb to the top of the tower?"
"Complete the game, yes. It's the only way! And you know what's in there already- it's a hefty task ahead of us."
"Nothing me and Eight can't pull off though! I can help her get to the top, no prob!"
"Pearlie, you're so amazing...!"
"Can we help too, or are we just sitting ducks?" Mirage asked in an annoyed tone.
"Oh, yes! Those lockers over there- they contain weapon palletes. I had downloaded weapon preference data from various people that I watched and heard from. If you look in there, you might find weapons suited to your style."
"Right."
The group head over to the lockers to check them out. "Sweet, a Tri-Stringer. Perfect." Mirage spun the bow around in their hands.
"Oh, that's Shiver's pallete!"
"Didn't realize Shiver used a bow..."
"You don't happen to have a spare pair of Dualies in here, do you?" Minu asked, looking through the lockers.
"I'm afraid not, little one."
"Here. You may use these ones." Octa handed the Dualies to the Inktoling girl. "I shall use this Splattershot."
"Oh, that's Agent 4's pallete! Good choice!"
"Oh, Theo..." Octa whined. "I hope we find him soon."
"Ah, right...Agent 4 is also stuck in here somewhere, isn't he?" Marina sighed. "What a mess this all is...I'm so sorry again..."
"Don't beat yourself up, Reens! It's all that Tara lady's fault!" Pearl winked.
"Oh! I do have something that might help!" Marina flipped her laptop open. "I may not be able to do a hard system reboot, but I can hack into the hacked system a little bit! If you ever need extra lives, extra damage protection or armor, more Pearl Drone upgrades, more rewards and cheaper vending machine prices- I can do all of that! I just need Prlz to power them- you should've gotten some on that last run through you did to save me! Here, I'll explain in better detail..."
-
"Are they seriously still trying? Those idiots!"
"Now, now, Mirai. Getting irrational will get us nowhere. You do want make a new world order, don't you? Where everyone is happy?"
"Of course I do! The world is terrible...but here, I can make a perfect world where no one suffers. Mama...Mama will be proud of me!"
"She will. But in order to do that...you must enforce the rules and stomp out any defiant ones."
"Stomp out the chaos..."
Tumblr media
"You're a smart kid. Stick with me, and both of our dreams of a perfect world will come true."

[I told you. You don't want me naming anything. It will end badly 😔]
[Oh sounds good! Maybe I should pick up parenting books- or ask Miss Coquina for tips on child care. I mean...babies are pretty similar no matter the species?]
[T, Lutarna asked me to get in touch with you. Are you okay? :'(] Vulture texted, anxiously awaiting an answer from him.
Tumblr media
[I'm okay ;3] T texted back casually.
[We had a whole thing with a moon base about a month ago, maybe it was that?] He half-lies, knowing Lutarna was probably pestering him about Wormy's fate.
... And he didn't want to exactly spring that truth on him after a long physical absence like that.

[Are you implying that the will of wanting a kid was what allowed Wormy to transform? I would say that's outlandish, but I'm surrounded by magic squids.]
[I won't, I won't! I would never. That would be horrible.]
[Comet's pretty good. I mean, I'm used to Wormy that it's practically second nature to call him that haha] Vulture laughed. [I don't think you want me naming our kid. I might end up calling him Cheese or something]

With Sergio's 'yeah', he felt his heart drop. He knew Sergio was probably feeling intensely guilty about it, knowing him, but Vulture also felt a little hurt- he kept this a secret from him for an entire year! A child, a boy!
Reading the next message that popped up, he sighed. [Sergio, I would've preferred it if you had told me as soon as possible. A child...that's a big deal! And it's a lot for one person to take care of by themselves. I know I'm busy, but I would've been more than willing to help take care of him, you know- considering he has my genetic makeup as well, it's only right.]
[...I'm not angry at you Sergio. I want you to know that. I'm just...kind of in shock. I mean, we talked a little bit about being parents, and it's like...it's actually happening. Haha]
It did make him happy.
[Look. I'll promise to clear up this Tara mess as soon as possible so I can make this place safer for you and him. Okay?]
He quickly typed in another question. [Hey, did you give him a name? I mean, Wormy is a fantastic name, but I'm sure it'd be kind of word touting him as Wormy to the Maguros ^^;]
[T, Lutarna asked me to get in touch with you. Are you okay? :'(] Vulture texted, anxiously awaiting an answer from him.

[Wow, Wormy looks like....a person, practically! So quickly, too!] Vulture examined the picture closer. [I see he still likes squid lemons. Yes, I'll have to ask all about it from him!!]
Vulture blinked. [Recreated....my cells? After he bit me....so Wormy was able to replicate my DNA after consuming a little of my blood? Now that you mention it...] He zoomed in on Wormy's hair. [....He has my hair.]
What does this mean??
[Would this....would this make me his father, in a sense?? As a worm, he didn't seem to have any stream of consciousness but now...]
He studied the picture more. Wait. Some of these features looked familiar...his skin, and his eyes, they....
[You know, he kind of....looks like you, Sergio. He wouldn't have happened to nibble on you too, would he?]
Wait. Hasn't it been a full year since T told him about Wormy's disappearing? And now he shows a picture of this child that has both their traits and has grown significantly. One year is plenty of time for a worm to become a human.
Did he find Wormy long before now and has been...keeping him a secret.
Wait. That wouldn't line up. T has been babysitting a kid.
Baby...sitting....a kid....for one year....
Vulture's eyes widened. Did he-?!
[Sergio. Be very honest with me right now. Is Wormy the kid you've been babysitting? Is Wormy....our son??]
[T, Lutarna asked me to get in touch with you. Are you okay? :'(] Vulture texted, anxiously awaiting an answer from him.

[Oh, you found him?! That's great! See, I told you he'd find his way back.] Vulture hummed. [Pets do have an innate ability like that.]
[Looking different? Oh! I bet being outside his enclosure exposed him to elements, so he's developed attributes that are not normal] Full science mode activated. [Did he get bigger? Did he develop any limbs? I know that normally it takes animals millions of years to evolve so fast, but we ARE talking about an alien from space, so perhaps his biological makeup is significantly different from ours. OH. Any new chemical compounds happening within his body? I'd love to sample it!!]

[Oooh, Doctor Sergio. Hehehe <3] He flirted. [I'll be sure to ask for a check up next time we meet~]
Actually, he probably SHOULD ask for a legitimate check up from him, considering there's no human doctors in his world.
[I promise I'll be fine. No bad things will happen. I won't die. You should take your own advice too, you know? I don't need you getting nuked by some annoyed android from space.]
[Well, I guess I should go. You better tell me anything you want to tell me before I disappear off the face of the planet for a little bit hahaha ;P] He prodded one more time. It made him sound like he was desperately fishing for information, but just in case...

Vulture sighs. [It is incredibly so. It's almost...too much.] Vulture says. [One of the only remaining humans of my world. The last of us. It's kind of...] A dreaded feeling in his chest. [...I've been logging everything I can in the ORCA system, and telling Miss Xingxi all I know. Just in case. I can't avoid death. I know I'm not immortal. But I know that my knowledge is invaluable. I hope that it comes into use in the future, you know?]
He quickly followed up with another message. [Sorry, that sounded like I'm dying again. I'm not. Prefect health, you can do a full exam on me if you want ;)]
[Sounds like it. Haha. Maybe I should come visit and help you out sometime. It's only fair. Well, after this whole Tara business. Once she's taken care of, I'm pretty sure that's that.]

[Well, it's only fair xP]
[Aw gee, there's no way...] He scratched his cheek. [Hah, pretty much. Since revealing myself to the Splatoon, they've been all over me. Human this, being smart that, 'Hey, Professor, can you tell me about this?' They're just curious, but it can be a little exhausting.]
[Got any kids pestering you? Well, other than the one you babysit nowadays.]

[Oh, wow, you think they're dating? Fascinating!] Vulture's eyes shimmered with curiosity. [I mean, I suppose it is weird for us...but I'd rather be dating you than any other version <3]
[Hm. I guess it makes sense he asks all about you. After all, you're a parallel version of his son...] Vulture ran a hand through his hair. [....Why don't you try asking him questions? If he doesn't answer them, press him a little. I mean, you also have portaling technology. It's only fair that you be on the same level as them. If they held back information from me simply because I am less knowledgeable about how the worlds work, I'd be a little irritated.]
[Hah. I wish I was a dad. I'd tell the corniest dad jokes ever] He smiled.

[I...I GUESS SO...] Vulture huffed. [First that salmon girl and now this poor kiddo. If it weren't for the obvious glaring issues, I'd have a different reason to take her down.]
[Oh, good. Look, I know you adore portaling everywhere, probably not good to do it this time. You worry me sometimes with how you just pop in with ease at times xD]
Vulture blinked at the picture. He could recognize two of the people in there immediately. [The middle one is the professor, okay. And you say he looks younger than your own dad? I know he's not your actual dad but wow he looks a lot like you. Speaking of you...is that not you on the left??? Wth??? And that's Garrett...I wonder why he's in a family photo with them. Related perhaps?] [I just...I can't believe that the professor here has access to an entirely different world and decides to...send them little voting contests. I would do so much! Try to make contact, study their way of life, spot the difference, make notes...but I have to admit that essentially just sending them sports competitions is kinda funny.]
Would a parallel Vulture be nearly as funny and adventurous like that?

[That...zombies? Oh God....] Vulture typed. [Augh....poor Gideon. Hopefully he opens up to you and Lutarna about that. That can't be easy to handle on his own.]
[Wormys....growing on the android? That....really should surprise me, but I learn something new everyday. I learned about children AI that are bent on ending my life, so I can't even be shocked anymore.]
Whoops. He hadn't mentioned that part to T before. A slip of the tongue.
[Just...be careful contacting them. I don't want anything to happen to you :( I'd be pretty sad]
[A professor? Like...like your father? You met an alternate version of him? And he's responsible for your fax machine? Huh....]
That can't have been too good for T's wellbeing.

[It doesn't seem malicious, so I'm not too worried about it. Still, I'll be on guard for you. I don't want you to worry about me.]
He sighed. Well it seems the conversation has reached its conclusion. T told him about this moon base, so that must've been what Lutarna meant when she said they needed to talk. Perhaps he just felt uneasy keeping it away from him.
...He had a feeling that he wasn't telling him everything.
[Anything else going on besides that? We haven't seen each other in so long...and you can tell me anything. I won't be mad, I promise] He shot a text at him, hoping he would tell him something.

[A...specter? Like a ghost? T...you're making me want to go over there to comfort you. Unfortunately I don't have my own dimensional device :"3]
[It's not ridiculous, it's traumatic and it never should've happened to you...]
[Haha, we could. We could show up to the fest in suits. Though it might make running around a little hard...]
[No, it wasn't.] He typed. [I...I don't know. I don't think they are. I think they're just glowy spots...I'm in the tower in Alterna, I'm fine. Besides, Salmonids are on better terms with me here compared to your world. In fact, I'm scheduled to meet up with them soon...both the kingdom salmons and those rebel salmons...it's so strange, how quickly they've come around to face each other. Almost like there's an outside force.]
A shuffle from behind him. He whipped his head around.
Those glowing spots again. This time, he saw them for himself rather than in a photo.
"Is someone there?!" He shouted out, with no response. No, there has to be someone there. It can't have been Tara?!
...No, it wasn't possible. There's no way. Tara wouldn't have weird glowing spots floating around.

[Aww...I can always count on you to be soft and sweet for me, T.] He typed. [I wonder how far a parallel me would've gone in her research.]
[A scar?! I never knew!! What's it from? Are you okay? When did this happen?!] He bombarded him with questions. [If you say this is before you perfected the healing process, you must've gotten that before we met. Oh, T...]
[Hehehe. Don't I look good? I actually had to ask someone to tailor this to my size. The squids and squid creatures here are kind of....extremely tiny, so none of the clothing stores had anything in my size. Put in a private order with a store called Temptation. Was a little pricey, but worth it for durable clothing] He explained. [I would like to go out and go suit shopping. We could all be real fancy and hit the town >:3]
He scratched his head at the mention of the yellow sparkles behind him in the image. [I...guess? I'm new to the shellphones, the last phone I had was a flip phone, so I'm sorta new to the all-screen phone...I didn't notice it until I sent it. I thought my camera was dirty or something. Maybe it is an after effect after all I don't see anything in here]
He turned around once more toward the dark hallway outside the office. Still nothing. Perhaps it really was his mind playing tricks on him.

[No, no! I'm not doing that. Besides, sacrificing myself wouldn't help those kids or solve anything. I am very much wanting to be alive] He quickly followed up. [If anything drastic comes up, I'll call for others to help. I think I can handle this though. I have a feeling]
You certainly do have a feeling, Vulture. Why did his stomach churn at the thought of Tara in the spire? It felt like he was experiencing deja vu.
Why did it feel like a knife was plunged into his stomach thinking about it...?
[Ah, you think so? Dimensional travel is quite fascinating, if not a little scary. I can't imagine the kinds of people out there...not to mention, reports of parallel universes. Wouldn't that be something? Another version of yourself, leading an entirely different life? I wonder if there's another me out there- sorry. I get very gung-ho about new science and new avenues. Professor's habit ':3]
"?" A photo popped up on his phone. T didn't reply immediately, so he took the time to look it over. He could feel face getting warm- he was very good looking, though he looked a little exhausted. It looks like he was taking decent care of himself, at least. That's all he could really ask for.
Though, there was a little detail that caught his eye. Something he hadn't noticed about him before.
[Is that a birthmark on your chest?] He asked curiously. The mark seemed small from the image, but it couldn't hurt to ask. [Sorry. I've just never seen you without your shirt on before, so I couldn't help but spy it xP]
Though he supposed it was only fair to send him one back. He did offer to trade pictures after all.
Tumblr media
Was there something wrong with his camera? There appeared to be little golden specs to the right of him. When he looked behind him, he didn't see anything of the like. Probably just his camera. He'd have to clean it later.
