Week 2 Tracy's Date: Early Morning

Tracy was up early working on her laptop again in the dinning area. This was still the best time to work uninterrupted and she didn't think there would be any trouble as long as she left any more encrypted information alone. While she no longer planned to see about hacking the scores, that was certain to have a trap attached, she still really wanted to see about tracing the bracelets.

Mostly right now because she wanted to find out just what the hell Misty and Gabriella had gotten up to. Tracy looked back up at the scores and shook her head.

Candy Henderson 103 VP 7400 BP

Misty Dawn 99 VP 6900 BP

Gabriella Escarra 80 VP 2400 BP

Susan Wagner 74 VP 2800 BP

Tracy Black 66 VP 950 BP

Carla/Kim 58 VP 3000 BP

Stacy Black 58 VP 1650 BP

Anna Rodriguez 54 VP 5400 BP

Something had blown up their scores like crazy and she wanted to get to the bottom of it. Shouldn't be that hard really. She'd already linked the score screen to her laptop last week and found the outgoing link that hooked to Laura's TV. So if that link was here, then any incoming links would have to be... Got it!

Tracy cheered in victory and took a big slurp of coffee. Now if she could trace one of the links back, okay one hundred and three was Candy so the second link should be Misty. Yep, ninety nine was her. Okay so that gave her a link to Misty's bracelet and all it was sending to the screen was her score. Damn, no point breakdown.

What about the score feed from the bracelet itself? Tracy was very careful not to accidently edit anything while poking around. Lots of data here but she just wanted numbers.

Humming to herself Tracy finished her coffee while fishing for numbers that linked to the score. There had to be some kind of chronological feed surely?

Aha! 79 + 20 (Grp Sex X FTB) That had to mean group sex. Misty and Gabriella had a threesome with Laura?! Damn. And FTB was obviously the first time bonus. That was a huge chunk of Misty's new score but still less than half. Having found that first entry going back was easy and the previous entry wasn't very far away. 59 + 20 (+1Shw X FTB) That was much harder to parse. Ten points without the bonus, so same value as sex. Show? Sure and the plus one must have been Gabriella. So giving Laura a show was worth the same amount as sex? Interesting... She could work with that, and Stacy was going to be there. She insisted.

The other six points was obvious getting nude for Laura, Tracy had already figured out that value. Still forty six points in one night was fucking impressive. No wonder Shar had moved the goal, if she had known this last week she might have been locked in already.

Tracy scratched an ear and wondered if being locked in countered her potential elimination? Best not to test, and it's not like she was even locked in yet. Still that was a lot of points to be grabbed if she could get Stacy on board. Maybe an appeal to her competitive side? She was near last place again and Stacy hated to lose.

Tracy poured herself another cup of coffee and took a hearty sip before going back to tracing links. Might as well get a path to each bracelet set on her laptop, never could tell when it might come in handy.

.

Shar checked the locations on her computer and sure enough Tracy was already in the dining hall. She already had enough information it would probably be best to use her for this. And interrupting whatever she was doing might just be for the best.

Moving at speed it took no time for her to arrive next to the teal haired cat girl. Shar didn't need to be able to read the screen to know what Tracy was up to now. Harmless enough but she was still needed.

Shar cleared her throat and Tracy looked up at her with her cheshire grin. "Sup?" Then she looked around quickly making sure no trap cards were sneaking up on her. "I'm not in trouble again am I?"

Shar shook her head. "No, reading the feeds is public information. Otherwise they wouldn't be posted publicly." She gestured up at the big screen. "Tampering with the feeds now..."

"I'm not!" Tracy was quick to reassure the tall woman. "Just looking for information and absolutely not breaking any encryptions I swear."

"Good. Regardless I need you to come with me."

"Oooo, is it more of Aurora's season finally? Is there another game?" Tracy asked excitedly.

Shar shook her head as she led the way to the Moongate. "No I'm sorry Aurora's set is still in flux."

"Huh?"

Standing on the Moongate Shar looked down at Tracy and sighed. "The different seasons often don't take place on the same worlds, or even in the same universes, often. Then there are the temporal shifts so that time can scale wildly as well. One day here may seem like a week or more somewhere else. Right now Aurora's set has hit a slow flux so from our perspective no time has passed there since I let you watch her season."

"Whoa, that sounds freaky. So what would have happened if that had hit while I was there?" Suddenly they were on another Moongate in a small hallway that Tracy thought had Shar's office off of it.

"Aurora was holding us in sync. I do the same thing when she stops by for coffee some mornings. Don't worry, I have faith the time currents will sort themselves out and you'll be able to watch again, and even play in their next session. Though they may be taken a bit back by your changes by then." Shar smiled and led the short girl down the hall to a large black oak door.

"So what's in here?" Tracy was pretty sure the office had been the other way from the Moongate.

"My room." Shar opened the door and stepped inside leaving Tracy briefly wondering if she should have borrowed Anna's climbing gear before she rushed in after the tall redhead.

Inside the room Tracy followed Shar over to the large curtained bed that was of course made out of a black wood, ebony maybe? Looking about the room seemed extremely bare to her and felt largely unused. Maybe she slept in her office, Tracy thought.

Then Shar pulled aside the curtain so Tracy could see the bed's sole occupant. She almost whistled out loud but the naked woman appeared to be sleeping so stayed quiet and instead looked up at the tall woman next to her with a raised eyebrow.

"You remember the other file, the one you didn't crack?"

"Oh right Toy, the other woman from your season. This is her?" At Shar's nod Tracy looked closer. Her huge breasts were pretty obvious and stood up from her chest unnaturally. She didn't quite give Susan a run for her money but definitely had Misty beat. Up close Tracy could see that her skin was smooth hairless latex and that her joints were hinged like a dolls. "Freaky, and sad. So why are we here?"

Shar brought one hand up to her ear in memory of pain. "You know her as Toy correct?"

"That's what you told me, and the name on the file."

"And if I told you her name was Tonya what would you think?"

Tracy looked up at Shar curiously. "Tonya? You told me a transformation changed her name, erased the memory of it being different."

"And so I did, and it was. But can you think of her as Tonya, Tonya Henderson?"

"Yeah no problem, hey wait Henderson?! That's Candy's last name."

Shar closed the curtain and knelt down to look Tracy in the eye. "Yes it is. This is Candy's Father's Aunt. Lost to her family as I was to mine."

"Holy shit." Tracy was stunned. "That's not a coincidence is it?"

"It is not. Fate plays a strange game here, and for now I need you to keep this quiet. Can you do that?"

Tracy hugged herself and looked back at the bed. "This could really fuck up Candy, I won't say anything."

Shar nodded and led the shivering cat girl back towards the door. "Lets get you back down for breakfast, everyone else should be up and wondering where you are."

"And I have big plans with Laura and Stacy."

Back on the Moongate Shar rubbed Tracy's ears causing her to purr. "Perhaps Tomorrow I'll show you another season, this one is run by a woman named Sage and it's a miracle her helpers haven't burned down the camp yet."

"A hotel season at a camp? Like out in the woods?"

"Indeed."

"Sounds awesome. Thanks Aunt Sharron." And Tracy vanished, off to the hall outside the Dinning room.

"You're welcome Theresa." Shar whispered to the empty hallway.
