The moment Goag Ralus told it what Svetat had learned Begalius began tracking anomalies in the Dol star-door that could be quanta-nanocode virus activity. The Dol/Poa wormhole had been scheduled to be created soon after the star Haflaxo rose on the horizon side where, at that time of the Goag Ralus year, molecular clouds shrouded a lot of the core starlight. That event happened the equivalent of the next morning in Occuitah.
It wasn’t long after Begalius began its search when an utterly audacious act of quanta-nanocode came to its attention. After zooming in on the disturbance, Begalius announced to everyone that it could no longer project its hologram form on the objective reality outside. With its sights on the invasive quanta-nanocode virus, Begalius translated its ego-construct into a universe of virtual creations that mirrored the objective universe outside as a catalyst for nano-programs to exist within their own objective experience as they carried out their program functions. This was a virtual land where the Begalius ego-construct could interact with the Dol star-door functions as fellow ego constructs. They all exist within this virtual universe where the overall star-door was God, and Begalius was King. The most likely reason many lost star-doors were never heard from again had been because they floated in space while completely withdrawn into these layers upon layers of virtual quanta-optic-nanocoded realities.
Here Begalius materialized, still in its Eagolim form, upon a shaggy horse-like animal that trotted through a sandy countryside, which resembled an old desert land from the planet Doldoria. A long rimmed hat that kind of resembled what Earth cowboys wore, shadowed the blue face of Begalius. The shaggy animal looked like a wooly mammoth with a toad-like head and face that actually appeared much wider than a horse’s face.
Begalius rode toward a group of rocks in the near distance after discovering that the quanta-nanocode virus had kidnapped Companion3112113 who immediately put out a distress call. They took her to this remote location for some unknown reason, but Begalius became determined to make them regret it. Begalius had actually kept many girlfriends in its virtual universe through the billions of Earth years of the Dol star-door’s existence. The current favorite had become Companion3112113 who helped it with an Eigalli ego-construct body for Begalius to appear as at the wormhole opening on the physical dimension of reality tomorrow. Begalius could hear her screaming at the top of some rocks as it continued to trot closer.
The sound of a shot of gunfire sounded and a projectile whizzed past Begalius. In response Begalius produced a rifle seemingly out of nowhere with a big barrel that comically looked more like a cannon. It let out a big boom and than chips flew up at the top of the rocks where the first shot originated. Someone or something seemed to fall several feet from the top of the rocks. Then more gun-powder-like shots rang out again at Begalius in response. There could be heard a moan from the animal below Begalius and suddenly the animal dissolved into sizzling circuits of nanocode light.
Begalius bounced on the ground with its behind when the animal suddenly disappeared from under it. It then kept bouncing like a rubber ball on its behind toward the rocks as it decided to just run with it. Begalius bounced like a basketball toward the rocks until it bounced off its butt all the way to land on the top of the high rocks where the shots were fired at him. Begalius continued its rubber theme by contorting in all directions like a stretched out plastic man in time to avoid more bullets being unloaded by quanta-nanocode virus-beings.
Right in character, the villains looked like hombres desperados with dirty clothes and unshaved blue Nephaprican faces. Begalius detected an ancient Nephaprican encryption signature on the virus-beings, which seemed to explain their power and authority in its star-door networks. Begalius quickly pulled out two pistols and gunned down the culprits.
Begalius thought it had been almost too easy as it produced a cylindrical device in its hand that sucked up the virus beings, which disappeared in the cylinder even though it looked only a little larger than the hand of Begalius. Here Begalius was king, which gave it the ability to lay down reality ground rules in order to gain the advantage by being the only thing able to break those rules. It remembered the one that fell off the cliff and again stretched like a plastic man all the way to the bottom of the rocks to also suck up that opponent.
Companion3112113 stood tied up to a rock confidently watching her boyfriend and hero save the day. She appeared as a female Eagolim form with light blue skin, and the kind of curvy body that had been designed just the way Begalius liked its women.
“Oh thank you Begalius for saving me from these virus-beings,” she said.
Begalius quickly untied her. “Don’t worry my darling. This strange nano-code virus attacked the star-door, but I now have them in quarantine. They will rue the day they attacked my star-door.”
“I was just putting the finishing touches to your Eigalli hologram when they burst into my home and abducted me. I can’t compute any reason why, except maybe for some kind of a distraction.”
“Not to fear now 113, I have the culprits now.” Begalius often affectionately called Companion3112113 just ‘113’ for short.
“Don’t suffer from your over-confidence great star-door being.” Begalius respected the wisdom of 113, who had been known to often deliver I-told-you-so-worthy advice.
The next rising of Haflaxo on the horizon against a dark sky of molecular dust illuminating a purple sky shined upon a multitude of mostly Eigalli who had gathered to directly witness the activation of the Dol star-door’s mythic wormhole function. A glowing aurora borealis danced over the 100-mile wide dome of the star-door mountain, which had really been a giant sphere placed in a giant hole dug by the Eigalli to receive it. All the star-doors were built into their planets like this, like giant arcs intended to outlive the worlds they were built upon. At the base of the mountain the multitude gathered in the location where a doorway was going to be constructed. Beneath the star-door’s dome an enormous wall wrapped around the equator of the sphere shaped star-door half buried in the ground, which kind of made the star-door resemble a 100-mile wide dome that filled the sky from a distance. The 100-mile diameter of the dome made this wall seem flat even though it had been a circle surrounding the whole mountain. Above an aurora danced behind a horizon where the wall spread for several miles into the sky.
Begalius had just been addressing the crowd before switching a button on a device it held in its hand. Today Begalius resembled an Eigalli instead of its previous Eagolim hologram form. It finally had the construct that Companion3112113 had worked so hard on. Deliadre stood nearby, and appeared less attracted to the Eigalli appearance of Begalius. Begalius hoped to perceive a different response from her when she saw it based on how she reacted to its Eagolim form before. Begalius concluded that she evidently preferred taller beings like Eagolim. Begalius then realized that in its current Eigalli form, its girlfriend Companion3112113 now had become uncomfortably taller than it.
In response to the button Begalius pressed, a section of the great wall began to glow and form a garage door size rectangular shape in deep blue on the white surface of the star-door. Soon the garage door sized section of wall seemed to disappear. Then a greenish glow filled the rectangular shaped hole in the wall. The crowd awed with amazement.
“This is just a portal matrix to define the shape of the wormhole to be formed.” Begalius explained to the multitude with its amplification function easily heard audibly by the farthest Eigalli in the crowd. “An identical portal matrix is simultaneously forming on the Poa star door.”
Deliadre stood near a quanta-communicator that projected a small crowd of Golimechoid holograms from Poa, who were there to witness the event from both sides. “The portal matrix is established on our side,” she said to notify the Golimechoids who had already told her that the Poa gate also had a portal matrix established with the same exact dimensions in time/space. Star-door coordinates were being coordinated to c
ompute the wormhole that would be formed by energy from Goag Ralus Himself. Energy danced about the dome, sending electronic charges back and fourth into the borealis in the skies above.
One of the hologram Golimechoids spoke. “Our wormhole coordinates have been locked onto your gate’s coordinates. The wormhole should automatically ensue.”
Begalius had been entertaining the audience with a speech when it suddenly decided to cut it short as the rectangular wormhole door glowed brighter with counter oscillating swirls of green energy.
“… when the coordinate matrix equates with the mutual calculations … oh …I see that has now happened. Behold my friends, the legendary Nephaprican star-door wormhole function!”
The whole area of Goag Ralus became silent as all watched with a certain fear of the event unfolding before them. A lot of Goag Ralus had been in anticipation of the history that they made in the galactic core these days.
Begalius raised its eyes up in recognition of the old familiar blue that always formed in the center of a wormhole. It appeared small at first, like a hole in the distance that grew in size and speed to become the Dol portal matrix existing in the same location as the Poa portal matrix. It looked like it just about worked when the whole portal became a blue rectangle again that looked just painted on the wall for a few seconds. The anticipation on the face of Begalius changed into concern as the blue rectangle lingered like a blue rectangle of paint on a wall. Then it all collapsed into a blue dot in the center and disappeared along with the whole portal. Nothing now left but a wall. The wormhole had collapsed.
The sound of disappointment became a painful noise to Begalius. After a painful pause the Golimechoid hologram spoke up. “The wormhole failed to make a final opening. It has collapsed we believe from your side.”
Deliadre wanted to cry. “You are correct, and I am sorry. The Dol star-door had been attacked recently and the same saboteurs may have caused this to happen just now. Our side has also collapsed.”
Twenty seconds later the Golimechoid said. “This is bad news for us. Please try to re-establish this doorway as soon as possible. You have the visual spectrum images of the Grulmagof fleet that we conveyed to you. Please have Goag Ralus examine them so He can help us all that He can.”
At that moment a non-holographic Golimechoid appeared in the view of the holographic guests right behind Deliadre who had been hosting them. “I definitely will examine the data on the Grulmagof fleet. I am the Golimechoid avatar of Goag Ralus, and will certainly do all I can to help you.”
Deliadre looked visibly surprised, having never seen Goag Ralus this way. It made sense that Goag would do this once a new species arrived here. It had just been so long since He had constructed another avatar.
Also in response, more Golimechoid holograms began to appear that were all nearby women on the Poa side that were closing in for a closer look at Goag Ralus. Goag Ralus began to sense that He would soon be experiencing a possibly uncontrollable Goag Ralus-mania from Golimechoid women. That thought did not disturb Goag Ralus at all.
After the Golimechoid disappeared one Golimechoid still stood in the quanta-communicator holograms looking a bit more transparent then the others. Begalius approached the Golimechoid hologram being projected by the quanta-communicator. “I’m so sorry Bejulitiah. My star-door has been infected with a clever quanta-nanocode virus. It played on my pride and overconfidence to make me think I had already quarantined and deleted it. Now it has full control of the wormhole functions.”
Both star-door beings reached out to one another as if trying to touch. Bejulitiah, the Poa star-door quanta-nanocode being, said, “I know you will defeat the virus Begalius. I guess you now have your work laid out before you.”
Soon the conversation ended, and the disappointed multitude remorsefully made their way back to their homes. Making a wormhole with the Dol star-door would now become more controversial than ever before to the Eigalli who were already fearful of unexpected consequences. Begalius swore to Goag Ralus that it would fix the star-door. It would stay in contact with the star-door interfaces, but would not be seen again in the physical realm until the entire quanta-nanocode virus could be deleted. Begalius then disappeared.
Goag Ralus spoke audibly with a Golimechoid appendage that He had evolved to make audible language. “I must face the wisdom that confronts me from the words of Begalius.”
Deliadre could perceive the same wisdom. “You mean that we probably won’t see Begalius again in our realm for at least the rest of this tek?”
“Yes Deliadre. Begalius identified the virus signature as enshrined in ancient Nephaprican authority and credentials. It is designed to take the star-door control away from Begalius and has already proved smarter this time around.”
“You mention Nephaprican authority, which compels me to show You this image of the Grulmagof fleet that the Golimechoid gave me. These are the battle ships poised to attack Poa-3 soon.” She held up a device that looked like a picture frame, which displayed four giant pyramid shaped ships. “The Grulmagof evidently began constructing these ships about a half tek ago. One has been appearing about every eighth of a tek.” (A little less than every 40 Earth years.) “These are an ancient Nephaprican design that the Eagolim still use such as the Mynervood that is flown by Beagud in the Orion arm. Not even the Eagolim could construct one of these in less than a fourth of a tek. The Grulmagof must be getting very sophisticated assistance with these enormous Nephaprican designed battle ships.”
Goag Ralus examined the image while remembering similar ships that were still flying around the stars that orbited His seven gravity-generating spikes. They were probably beyond the industrial capabilities of the Grulmagof species, but also, even after all these billions of Earth years of evolving, Goag Ralus conceded that on Magphoreus much stranger things have happened before.
