1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:04,960
I- what are you doing on the ship's computer? Is this the latest Ynet patch?

2
00:00:04,960 --> 00:00:10,160
I'm trying out this website, HeroForge.com. I heard about it from Scrap.

3
00:00:10,720 --> 00:00:12,560
What is HeroForge?

4
00:00:12,560 --> 00:00:18,320
Oh, it's minifigures! You get to design them yourself and then the website will send them to

5
00:00:18,320 --> 00:00:25,120
you. And you can design all sorts of people. And hypothetically, you could download the file and

6
00:00:25,120 --> 00:00:31,760
print them yourself on your 3D printer. If you had one. This is the patchwork, after all.

7
00:00:31,760 --> 00:00:32,960
Ah, I see.

8
00:00:33,760 --> 00:00:38,960
See? I'm trying to make what Verbal would look like if he were a human.

9
00:00:38,960 --> 00:00:41,840
So we can make, like, just humans?

10
00:00:41,840 --> 00:00:50,080
Oh no! There's so many different options besides humans! Here, look! Look at all the species options!

11
00:00:50,080 --> 00:00:55,440
Oh wow. Yes, they appear to have many types of animal-like people.

12
00:00:55,440 --> 00:00:58,720
Mousefolk resembling you in Scrap, that's nice.

13
00:00:58,720 --> 00:01:04,960
Elephant folk, turtle people, fennec fox and elk folk from the Fool's Gold campaign.

14
00:01:04,960 --> 00:01:07,520
Ooh, and it looks like they just added lion folk!

15
00:01:07,520 --> 00:01:13,520
Uh-huh, and they're constantly adding new clothes and items and additional content every week.

16
00:01:14,080 --> 00:01:17,920
Look, look, look! What do you think about Scrap in this floral shirt?

17
00:01:17,920 --> 00:01:19,680
What was the website again?

18
00:01:19,680 --> 00:01:22,880
It's heroforge.com

19
00:01:22,880 --> 00:01:24,640
Hmm, very intriguing.

20
00:01:24,640 --> 00:01:29,280
Oh wow, and they even have little robot companions! How quaint!

21
00:01:29,280 --> 00:01:31,760
Previously on the Adamless.

22
00:01:31,760 --> 00:01:33,280
Azan-he.

23
00:01:33,280 --> 00:01:35,200
Ike. She.

24
00:01:35,200 --> 00:01:36,480
Uh, my name's Thierryak.

25
00:01:36,480 --> 00:01:39,760
What's up? My name's Skye! Welcome to the patchwork, my dudes!

26
00:01:39,760 --> 00:01:46,640
You have a lead on where the next crystal is. The planet Nos in the Vanir system.

27
00:01:46,640 --> 00:01:54,960
The system. New Mors did this to me, and I'm just trying to get those years back.

28
00:01:55,600 --> 00:02:01,760
Far, far horizon. A humongous, domed structure.

29
00:02:02,480 --> 00:02:07,680
There are hundreds, possibly thousands, of skeletons.

30
00:02:08,480 --> 00:02:14,480
And as the noise of Thittlebrush and Poncho leave, and your new destination,

31
00:02:14,480 --> 00:02:17,520
the stained city of New Mors.

32
00:02:17,520 --> 00:02:22,800
You may have heard of me, my name is Dr. Thierryak, the president and co-founder of Wild Times.

33
00:02:23,440 --> 00:02:28,880
Qualify for VIP training. Another ship comes in.

34
00:02:28,880 --> 00:02:33,440
Zom, you recognize the ship as a Heth ship. Four people exit off.

35
00:02:33,440 --> 00:02:39,360
Recognize the figure as General Magnolia Cope.

36
00:02:39,360 --> 00:02:42,640
This figure takes off their helmet.

37
00:02:42,640 --> 00:02:47,200
You recognize my lease.

38
00:02:47,200 --> 00:03:14,080
The natural light of Nos's sun is extinguished as this elevator descends down into New Mors.

39
00:03:14,080 --> 00:03:28,480
It's glass front no longer showing the docking port, but now rocky outcroppings that will be your sliding wallpaper for the next eight hours.

40
00:03:28,480 --> 00:03:40,480
As arm you watch as part of yourself is left behind. Your handprint, of course.

41
00:03:40,480 --> 00:03:47,840
Before the darkness fully overtakes you, these artificial lights flicker on.

42
00:03:47,840 --> 00:03:52,640
The machines that are scattered around this elevator buzz with life.

43
00:03:52,640 --> 00:03:59,840
There is this small moment of kindness as the harshness of this buzz reminds you all of the patchwork.

44
00:03:59,840 --> 00:04:05,120
Then a hologram appears in the center of the room.

45
00:04:05,120 --> 00:04:09,280
A hologram of an annoyingly beautiful woman.

46
00:04:09,280 --> 00:04:16,080
Welcome all of you to your new start.

47
00:04:16,080 --> 00:04:30,080
Our beautiful city is securely under 2569 miles of crust, close to the core of Nos itself.

48
00:04:30,080 --> 00:04:36,880
This elevator will take approximately 8 hours and 45 minutes to reach the location.

49
00:04:36,880 --> 00:04:45,680
This is a long wait, so Freya Inc. has kindly supplied you with hundreds of hours of entertainment and amenities.

50
00:04:45,680 --> 00:04:53,280
We are so very excited to have you join our city-wide family.

51
00:04:53,280 --> 00:04:55,280
See you then.

52
00:04:55,280 --> 00:05:02,880
This beautiful human woman flickers and disappears.

53
00:05:02,880 --> 00:05:12,080
The machines around the room are televisions, there's radios, there's books and literature.

54
00:05:12,080 --> 00:05:18,080
There are small holodecks where you can play small games with one another.

55
00:05:18,080 --> 00:05:21,280
You all stand.

56
00:05:21,280 --> 00:05:30,480
Scrap, Flare, Keelin and Estrid all stand next to you.

57
00:05:30,480 --> 00:05:38,080
What is it that you would like to do?

58
00:05:38,080 --> 00:05:40,880
Down we go.

59
00:05:40,880 --> 00:05:45,680
Did it say 8 hours?

60
00:05:45,680 --> 00:05:49,680
It's a long ride.

61
00:05:49,680 --> 00:05:53,680
Does anybody want to play wine, Ned?

62
00:05:53,680 --> 00:05:57,680
Sure. I don't think there's much else to do.

63
00:05:57,680 --> 00:06:00,080
Did anybody bring any smog wine?

64
00:06:00,080 --> 00:06:06,480
I mean, I got a small flask, but that's not worth much and it's mine, thank you.

65
00:06:06,480 --> 00:06:17,680
I'm just going to boot up our wine at game and hand the controller to the zombies.

66
00:06:17,680 --> 00:06:19,680
Thanks.

67
00:06:19,680 --> 00:06:32,080
In between rounds of wine, Ned's guy is scribbling furiously on her communicator.

68
00:06:32,080 --> 00:06:41,680
So that person that we saw is your ex-fiance?

69
00:06:41,680 --> 00:06:43,680
Yeah.

70
00:06:43,680 --> 00:06:56,080
Not really an ex. We haven't broken the engagement, I guess. Although they might have, considering I was in prison. It's hard to tell.

71
00:06:56,080 --> 00:07:04,080
I trusted them with my life. And I did what I had to do to save them.

72
00:07:04,080 --> 00:07:13,280
Why did you round with her? I don't know. I don't know if I can trust them anymore.

73
00:07:13,280 --> 00:07:17,280
You kind of lost that planet right there.

74
00:07:17,280 --> 00:07:19,280
Lost what planet?

75
00:07:19,280 --> 00:07:21,280
Scott, you seem distracted. If you don't-

76
00:07:21,280 --> 00:07:25,280
Oh, wine it, yeah. Yeah, I'll live.

77
00:07:25,280 --> 00:07:41,280
There's no such thing as coincidences. After we come down on this bloody long chute, those Ol' Hefner are going to come down after us.

78
00:07:41,280 --> 00:07:49,280
Scott, you've got to protect your flank. It's looking bad.

79
00:07:49,280 --> 00:07:54,280
Is it? Or do I just have a bigger plan in store?

80
00:07:54,280 --> 00:07:57,280
Eight of your planets have willingly joined my alliance.

81
00:07:57,280 --> 00:08:03,280
Yes, realized that long ago.

82
00:08:03,280 --> 00:08:07,280
This is beginning to make me feel really bad.

83
00:08:07,280 --> 00:08:08,280
Sorry.

84
00:08:08,280 --> 00:08:14,280
There, I'll just skip my turn. Nothing I want to do, right?

85
00:08:14,280 --> 00:08:22,280
Sideling up next to Skye. Flare on this, like, driftwood cane.

86
00:08:22,280 --> 00:08:26,280
Hey, Mike showed me how to do this.

87
00:08:26,280 --> 00:08:34,280
And you see, like, an extra zero get put onto the top of your funds.

88
00:08:34,280 --> 00:08:42,280
Keep it up, Flare. You're winning some points with me.

89
00:08:42,280 --> 00:08:44,280
Cool.

90
00:08:44,280 --> 00:08:49,280
Thiriak, can you take my turn? I want to talk to Scrap for a second.

91
00:08:49,280 --> 00:08:57,280
That's perfectly alright. Hold on. These colonies are not optimized.

92
00:08:57,280 --> 00:09:04,280
Gielin is landing on his own. Estrid is on the other end of the room, flicking through some books.

93
00:09:04,280 --> 00:09:17,280
And Scrap is next to a vending machine, but has, like, popped the number pad off of it and is, like, fiddling inside.

94
00:09:17,280 --> 00:09:20,280
What are you doing, dude? Couldn't that get us in trouble?

95
00:09:20,280 --> 00:09:23,280
Well, I know. I'm going to put it back and it's going to be fine. I know we'll notice.

96
00:09:23,280 --> 00:09:28,280
I mean, if we get caught, then yes, I mean, of course it's going to be. But it's a long fucking journey.

97
00:09:28,280 --> 00:09:37,280
I'm not hungry yet, but I imagine I will be. And I kind of want to just, you know, lay out some snacks and things.

98
00:09:37,280 --> 00:09:40,280
I feel like it's a little tense at the minute, so.

99
00:09:40,280 --> 00:09:43,280
Yo, let me take a stab at it.

100
00:09:43,280 --> 00:09:46,280
You can if you want.

101
00:09:46,280 --> 00:09:49,280
And then do I have to roll? There's something?

102
00:09:49,280 --> 00:09:56,280
Yeah, sure. Give me an engineering. OK. Engineering check of like twenty. Thirty one.

103
00:09:56,280 --> 00:10:03,280
Can I whack it like the Fonz? Yeah. Snacks like pour out.

104
00:10:03,280 --> 00:10:08,280
Hey, getting good at that.

105
00:10:08,280 --> 00:10:13,280
I'm going to tell them.

106
00:10:13,280 --> 00:10:22,280
Just like everything. Yeah.

107
00:10:22,280 --> 00:10:26,280
I might get pretty upset.

108
00:10:26,280 --> 00:10:35,280
I thought. I could move past it and clearly I can't.

109
00:10:35,280 --> 00:10:41,280
Good thing we got snacks.

110
00:10:41,280 --> 00:10:45,280
I don't know if I can do it by myself.

111
00:10:45,280 --> 00:10:50,280
Do you want to get people to sit in a circle as we tell them?

112
00:10:50,280 --> 00:10:54,280
I've prepared a slideshow. With what time?

113
00:10:54,280 --> 00:10:58,280
I thought that I thought it would. I thought it might. When did you do that?

114
00:10:58,280 --> 00:11:05,280
They have like apps for it. It was like two seconds.

115
00:11:05,280 --> 00:11:11,280
Fine. Yeah, sure. We'll do a slideshow.

116
00:11:11,280 --> 00:11:14,280
Do you want me to announce it? Yeah. Who wants snacks?

117
00:11:14,280 --> 00:11:17,280
We got the vending machine open. Snacks for everybody.

118
00:11:17,280 --> 00:11:20,280
Snacks. Great.

119
00:11:20,280 --> 00:11:23,280
What? Good. What's happening? I don't know.

120
00:11:23,280 --> 00:11:29,280
I feel like a lot of things are just like coming out.

121
00:11:29,280 --> 00:11:32,280
Is now the time?

122
00:11:32,280 --> 00:11:37,280
Is now the time for what? Dr. Theoriact?

123
00:11:37,280 --> 00:11:41,280
To talk about the murders. Oh my goodness.

124
00:11:41,280 --> 00:11:45,280
The murder. I thought that you told everyone.

125
00:11:45,280 --> 00:11:52,280
I'm just going to let everyone know that it's very acoustic in here.

126
00:11:52,280 --> 00:11:56,280
So you can hear everything anyone is saying.

127
00:11:56,280 --> 00:11:58,280
No matter how it's whispered.

128
00:11:58,280 --> 00:12:02,280
Yeah, they got a lot of stuff in here, but it really doesn't dampen the sound at all.

129
00:12:02,280 --> 00:12:04,280
It just kind of bounces around the room.

130
00:12:04,280 --> 00:12:08,280
Alright, so it seems like we have a lot of things we want to talk about today.

131
00:12:08,280 --> 00:12:11,280
I don't need to talk about anything?

132
00:12:11,280 --> 00:12:17,280
At some point I would really like you to talk because I realized we don't actually know that much about you.

133
00:12:17,280 --> 00:12:22,280
Like in your own time, obviously. I don't want to push you or anything.

134
00:12:22,280 --> 00:12:29,280
But if somebody asked me any, like if I had to fill out a form for you or something.

135
00:12:29,280 --> 00:12:34,280
Well, I mean, I don't have any secrets, so I'm going to go play video games.

136
00:12:34,280 --> 00:12:36,280
That sounds like a lie.

137
00:12:36,280 --> 00:12:42,280
Of course I got secrets, but I ain't going to tell none of y'all. I bet you yesterday.

138
00:12:42,280 --> 00:12:45,280
Can I do a sense motive check to see how bad these secrets are?

139
00:12:45,280 --> 00:12:48,280
Like, are these guilty secrets?

140
00:12:48,280 --> 00:12:53,280
Are these like, sometimes I like to go skinny dipping.

141
00:12:53,280 --> 00:12:59,280
Wow, that's very good for Estrid. Congratulations. It's a 2.

142
00:12:59,280 --> 00:13:00,280
But wait, hold on.

143
00:13:00,280 --> 00:13:02,280
Don't you have plus a billion?

144
00:13:02,280 --> 00:13:04,280
Yeah, so that's a 12 plus 6.

145
00:13:04,280 --> 00:13:08,280
At least 5 plus 1, which is 18.

146
00:13:08,280 --> 00:13:12,280
There is someone about her that's just slippy.

147
00:13:12,280 --> 00:13:16,280
You just can't get a read on what she's thinking or what she's doing.

148
00:13:16,280 --> 00:13:21,280
You're like, it might be rattled from before.

149
00:13:21,280 --> 00:13:30,280
So what this says to me is that Estrid is as good at like hiding from people as I am good at reading people.

150
00:13:30,280 --> 00:13:39,280
Estrid, maybe video games could wait hypothetically for, I don't know, maybe 4 minutes and 21 seconds.

151
00:13:39,280 --> 00:13:42,280
Wow, that's very specific.

152
00:13:42,280 --> 00:13:45,280
That is very specific.

153
00:13:45,280 --> 00:13:49,280
Skye, what do you want to tell us?

154
00:13:49,280 --> 00:13:53,280
It's hard to say.

155
00:13:53,280 --> 00:13:56,280
So I made a slideshow.

156
00:13:56,280 --> 00:13:58,280
You made something?

157
00:13:58,280 --> 00:14:00,280
You made a slideshow?

158
00:14:00,280 --> 00:14:04,280
I couldn't figure out how to say it and I didn't want to leave anything out.

159
00:14:04,280 --> 00:14:08,280
And I feel like my heart's falling out my butt.

160
00:14:08,280 --> 00:14:10,280
I don't think that's supposed to happen.

161
00:14:10,280 --> 00:14:13,280
It's hyperbolic, Doctor.

162
00:14:13,280 --> 00:14:17,280
She's made something to show us.

163
00:14:17,280 --> 00:14:23,280
Alright, I feel like we've already made this awkward enough for Skye.

164
00:14:23,280 --> 00:14:25,280
So let's just be quiet.

165
00:14:25,280 --> 00:14:27,280
Skye, hit play when you're ready.

166
00:14:27,280 --> 00:14:29,280
We're all ears.

167
00:14:34,280 --> 00:14:40,280
The Oxford Database defines the Void as a secret society of criminals.

168
00:14:40,280 --> 00:14:46,280
The largest Void training facility is located in a secret basement of Weymouth School for the Young and Gifted.

169
00:14:46,280 --> 00:14:52,280
My fellow trainees were mostly teens or young adults who renounced their old names upon entry, but as always, I was special.

170
00:14:52,280 --> 00:14:56,280
My first memories are in Weymouth's basement and I never remember having a name.

171
00:14:56,280 --> 00:15:00,280
I assume I was just dumped by someone who didn't want me and the Voids scooped me up.

172
00:15:00,280 --> 00:15:02,280
They wanted me when no one else did.

173
00:15:02,280 --> 00:15:08,280
On paper, I was 327 Saga, but we got by with Squirt, Hipsqueaks, Grunt, that kind of thing.

174
00:15:08,280 --> 00:15:10,280
I liked Hive, though. He called me Superstar.

175
00:15:10,280 --> 00:15:15,280
When I got a little older, I started sneaking above ground and the kids my age had a whole new set of names for me.

176
00:15:15,280 --> 00:15:19,280
Bottom Feeder, Lower Deck Dork, Basement Weirdo, that kind of thing.

177
00:15:19,280 --> 00:15:25,280
That was my first impression of upper deckers and, gotta say, wasn't stoked.

178
00:15:25,280 --> 00:15:29,280
Eventually, I started getting sick of it and some upper deck kids lost a few teeth.

179
00:15:29,280 --> 00:15:35,280
It was part of my daily routine. Wake up, train, beat up some dork to take his lunch and get sent to school at the office.

180
00:15:35,280 --> 00:15:39,280
They gave me the same old speech about how that energy must be channeled into my service, you know?

181
00:15:39,280 --> 00:15:44,280
It must be harnessed so I could be a weapon for embassy and then I'd get sent to detention.

182
00:15:53,280 --> 00:15:55,280
Is it broken?

183
00:15:56,280 --> 00:15:58,280
I don't know.

184
00:15:59,280 --> 00:16:01,280
I don't think so.

185
00:16:01,280 --> 00:16:05,280
I am not permitted to speak of detention.

186
00:16:07,280 --> 00:16:10,280
It's a conditioning program.

187
00:16:11,280 --> 00:16:14,280
It's basically just there to torture and brainwash us.

188
00:16:15,280 --> 00:16:21,280
Most of us only have to go through it two to three times because we joined older.

189
00:16:21,280 --> 00:16:31,280
Sky, when I hacked a chip, said she went through it six hundred and fifty seven times.

190
00:16:33,280 --> 00:16:39,280
So that was my life. Beating on snobby upper deck kids and being trained to kick major ass.

191
00:16:41,280 --> 00:16:47,280
Then, after years of training, school deemed me ready, I was out on mission stage fourteen, youngest in void history.

192
00:16:47,280 --> 00:16:51,280
And dude, I was so good at being bad.

193
00:16:52,280 --> 00:16:55,280
Then I remember my partner Hive split a photo across the table.

194
00:16:55,280 --> 00:16:58,280
And next thing you know, I'm riding a skateboard across the tops of skyscrapers and BAM!

195
00:16:58,280 --> 00:17:03,280
I finally did what I'd been working for all those years and I got my name.

196
00:17:04,280 --> 00:17:05,280
And it was a cool one.

197
00:17:05,280 --> 00:17:09,280
And I didn't become just any old hired gun. I was THE hired gun.

198
00:17:10,280 --> 00:17:15,280
There have been a few void prodigies, but few have changed the silhouette of an entire city.

199
00:17:15,280 --> 00:17:19,280
I even got to meet the embassy once and he told me he was proud.

200
00:17:19,280 --> 00:17:25,280
And I gotta say, after years of the upper decks punching down, it felt pretty good to be punching up.

201
00:17:26,280 --> 00:17:28,280
Until I crawled into bed and turned off the lights.

202
00:17:32,280 --> 00:17:33,280
Then it felt bad.

203
00:17:35,280 --> 00:17:37,280
Like really bad.

204
00:17:37,280 --> 00:17:44,280
I didn't know what it was, but I knew something was wrong.

205
00:17:47,280 --> 00:17:50,280
Slowly I started trying to sneak away.

206
00:17:51,280 --> 00:17:53,280
But the void would come find me.

207
00:17:54,280 --> 00:18:02,280
They always told me there was nothing out there for me and when it turned out they were right, I would just come back.

208
00:18:02,280 --> 00:18:09,280
I'd always get sick or hungry or screwed over and I'd be going back to Waymorts.

209
00:18:10,280 --> 00:18:14,280
That's when my partner Hive hooked me up with Scrap.

210
00:18:17,280 --> 00:18:21,280
They got me on Saga. We saw some truly rad shit, dude.

211
00:18:21,280 --> 00:18:24,280
I dyed my hair, bought some clothes, grew a personality.

212
00:18:25,280 --> 00:18:29,280
After about a year apiece, I thought maybe the void wouldn't find me.

213
00:18:29,280 --> 00:18:31,280
But then we met you guys.

214
00:18:34,280 --> 00:18:39,280
It turns out the new me can't resist entering a void death race just out of spite.

215
00:18:39,280 --> 00:18:41,280
And the old me is...

216
00:18:43,280 --> 00:18:45,280
I think the old me just might be me.

217
00:18:45,280 --> 00:18:56,280
Anyway, the rest is history.

218
00:18:56,280 --> 00:18:58,280
Sky, I'm sorry.

219
00:19:01,280 --> 00:19:06,280
I'm sorry that you faced all that growing up.

220
00:19:08,280 --> 00:19:13,280
I don't really have a frame of reference as to any other way to grow up, so...

221
00:19:15,280 --> 00:19:20,280
That doesn't mean that it wasn't fair.

222
00:19:20,280 --> 00:19:25,280
Yeah, well, life's not.

223
00:19:25,280 --> 00:19:28,280
You know none of this is your fault, right?

224
00:19:29,280 --> 00:19:31,280
Uh, no.

225
00:19:32,280 --> 00:19:34,280
I don't know that.

226
00:19:34,280 --> 00:19:36,280
Well, uh...

227
00:19:38,280 --> 00:19:40,280
We'll work on it, Sky.

228
00:19:41,280 --> 00:19:43,280
You're responsible for yourself now, yeah.

229
00:19:44,280 --> 00:19:46,280
The north is your home.

230
00:19:46,280 --> 00:19:49,280
You're responsible for yourself now, yeah.

231
00:19:50,280 --> 00:19:52,280
But not for what you did then.

232
00:19:53,280 --> 00:19:55,280
As the people who raised you.

233
00:19:56,280 --> 00:19:58,280
They're responsible for that.

234
00:19:59,280 --> 00:20:01,280
Okay, but...

235
00:20:02,280 --> 00:20:07,280
What if what I did then is who I am now?

236
00:20:07,280 --> 00:20:16,280
Sky, I've known you for quite some time, and I can say that you are not a blind, mass murder machine.

237
00:20:16,280 --> 00:20:22,280
You are an intelligent, capable, and admirable young woman.

238
00:20:23,280 --> 00:20:25,280
Yes, you know how to kill.

239
00:20:26,280 --> 00:20:28,280
Uh, well...

240
00:20:28,280 --> 00:20:37,280
There's actually one more piece to the puzzle that I haven't even told Scrap yet.

241
00:20:39,280 --> 00:20:41,280
Is there another slight change?

242
00:20:41,280 --> 00:20:43,280
No, no, no, no, no, no.

243
00:20:43,280 --> 00:20:55,280
Um, Scrap, do you remember, like, shortly after we left Saga, there was like that week on the patchwork where I was like really sick, like up-chucking everywhere and stuff?

244
00:20:55,280 --> 00:20:58,280
Yeah, no, of course.

245
00:20:58,280 --> 00:21:17,280
So... I might have had a bad night and a little bit of smog wine and might have, um, found online some Heth software.

246
00:21:17,280 --> 00:21:32,280
I, uh, I, you know, I have no intention nor desire to be a scourge on humanity again, so...

247
00:21:32,280 --> 00:21:34,280
What are you saying?

248
00:21:34,280 --> 00:21:42,280
Sky, are you talking about in the... did you upload Heth software to your head?

249
00:21:42,280 --> 00:21:43,280
Sort of.

250
00:21:43,280 --> 00:21:48,280
Um, so you know the thing that they did to Keelan and Flare where they...

251
00:21:48,280 --> 00:21:50,280
You reprogrammed yourself.

252
00:21:50,280 --> 00:21:52,280
You tried to get rid of the bad memories.

253
00:21:52,280 --> 00:21:55,280
Not the, not the memories, just...

254
00:21:55,280 --> 00:21:56,280
What?

255
00:21:56,280 --> 00:22:02,280
You know, I learned a lot at Waymorth's and I just kinda...

256
00:22:02,280 --> 00:22:04,280
I'm lost, I'm confused.

257
00:22:04,280 --> 00:22:06,280
Most of it's gone.

258
00:22:06,280 --> 00:22:13,280
God, got rid of it. Like it's still, it's still in there somewhere, but...

259
00:22:13,280 --> 00:22:19,280
I just didn't trust myself.

260
00:22:19,280 --> 00:22:23,280
What is done is done.

261
00:22:23,280 --> 00:22:33,280
You do realize that there is a method of unlearning that does not require utilizing state police programming?

262
00:22:33,280 --> 00:22:39,280
You are very capable, Sky, of great things.

263
00:22:39,280 --> 00:22:48,280
You don't need the tools of a militarized police force to be able to do that yourself.

264
00:22:48,280 --> 00:22:51,280
Then why wasn't...

265
00:22:53,280 --> 00:22:56,280
Why wasn't it enough?

266
00:22:56,280 --> 00:23:03,280
Sky, what Dr. Thirriak is talking about?

267
00:23:03,280 --> 00:23:06,280
It's gonna take time.

268
00:23:06,280 --> 00:23:11,280
You haven't had long enough to try yet.

269
00:23:13,280 --> 00:23:15,280
Look...

270
00:23:17,280 --> 00:23:19,280
Sky...

271
00:23:19,280 --> 00:23:21,280
I did...

272
00:23:21,280 --> 00:23:26,280
Grow up in the Lower Decks.

273
00:23:27,280 --> 00:23:38,280
It was dark and hard, and everything was always about the next thing.

274
00:23:38,280 --> 00:23:46,280
Where was the next dinner and where was the next break?

275
00:23:46,280 --> 00:23:56,280
And everybody I knew growing up seemed to agree that it was horrible, that it was not the right way to live.

276
00:23:56,280 --> 00:24:03,280
And everybody seemed really jealous of the way that they got to live on the Upper Decks.

277
00:24:03,280 --> 00:24:10,280
Full of light and food and ease and recreation and rest.

278
00:24:10,280 --> 00:24:19,280
And then when I got old enough to do anything, I found out all the ways that you could get there.

279
00:24:19,280 --> 00:24:27,280
Join the Heth, join the Lawmen, arrest and beat up your neighbors.

280
00:24:27,280 --> 00:24:41,280
So I thought, when Quinn came around, let me bring our things up to the people who had everything already.

281
00:24:41,280 --> 00:24:52,280
I thought it was the most harmless way to get what everybody told me was a better life.

282
00:24:52,280 --> 00:24:57,280
But you said it.

283
00:24:57,280 --> 00:25:02,280
Early on, after we met.

284
00:25:02,280 --> 00:25:12,280
Even the most harmless way to get there, I still wound up there.

285
00:25:12,280 --> 00:25:23,280
And apparently, still finding a way to be a part of something that hurt people.

286
00:25:23,280 --> 00:25:29,280
People down below.

287
00:25:29,280 --> 00:25:39,280
I wanted to be there for you and protect you, but you're grown.

288
00:25:39,280 --> 00:25:49,280
I'm sorry that you didn't know me until now.

289
00:25:49,280 --> 00:25:52,280
So who your parents?

290
00:25:52,280 --> 00:25:54,280
Nobody.

291
00:25:54,280 --> 00:26:23,280
Folks down in Lower Decks hated it down there and hated the Upper Decks, but wanted to go there all the same, which, you know, I used to think was contradictory, but I'm starting to get the anger and the jealousy make a little more sense.

292
00:26:23,280 --> 00:26:32,280
Anyway, they wanted me to have a better life, and I misunderstood.

293
00:26:32,280 --> 00:26:43,280
I should have been trying to get us a better life, not just escaping.

294
00:26:43,280 --> 00:26:48,280
That's a lot of pressure to put on yourself, Ike.

295
00:26:48,280 --> 00:26:50,280
Maybe.

296
00:26:50,280 --> 00:27:07,280
You know, one thing, when we were still back on Saga, I think I would have wanted to listen more about Tommy's plan.

297
00:27:07,280 --> 00:27:24,280
The difference, I guess, even just a few months will make.

298
00:27:24,280 --> 00:27:27,280
Anyone else?

299
00:27:27,280 --> 00:27:32,280
Uh, well.

300
00:27:32,280 --> 00:27:40,280
So, you remember when we went to the Wild Times like a week ago?

301
00:27:40,280 --> 00:27:50,280
Do you remember that a bunch of the board members, like, died?

302
00:27:50,280 --> 00:27:57,280
Hmm, let me think. Yeah, I think I can recall something like that happening.

303
00:27:57,280 --> 00:28:00,280
I understand. But you're upset?

304
00:28:00,280 --> 00:28:04,280
Huh? Oh no, I'm just saying it's hard to forget.

305
00:28:04,280 --> 00:28:08,280
Great. Okay, because I definitely killed them.

306
00:28:08,280 --> 00:28:13,280
What?

307
00:28:13,280 --> 00:28:14,280
All of them?

308
00:28:14,280 --> 00:28:21,280
Well, I didn't personally kill them, I allowed them to die. Is that better?

309
00:28:21,280 --> 00:28:22,280
No.

310
00:28:22,280 --> 00:28:23,280
I didn't think so.

311
00:28:23,280 --> 00:28:26,280
The guy out the window.

312
00:28:26,280 --> 00:28:35,280
Oh, that guy, I definitely killed him. Killing him in the pool? Yeah, I killed that motherfucker.

313
00:28:35,280 --> 00:28:39,280
Ethereac, how could you do that?

314
00:28:39,280 --> 00:28:47,280
Great question. Great question, Skye.

315
00:28:47,280 --> 00:28:52,280
I don't think that there is an answer that exonerates me.

316
00:28:52,280 --> 00:28:58,280
Oh, I literally meant how could you do it? Because you came up to his shins or something, right?

317
00:28:58,280 --> 00:29:00,280
Oh my god.

318
00:29:00,280 --> 00:29:04,280
How did that work, exactly? What was your technique?

319
00:29:04,280 --> 00:29:07,280
Oh, you mean in like, physics?

320
00:29:07,280 --> 00:29:09,280
Like physics, how could you do that?

321
00:29:09,280 --> 00:29:11,280
Alright, so I was on a table.

322
00:29:11,280 --> 00:29:12,280
Okay.

323
00:29:12,280 --> 00:29:15,280
He mentioned the god damned emails again.

324
00:29:15,280 --> 00:29:17,280
Wrong move.

325
00:29:17,280 --> 00:29:24,280
And then I was like, I sent the emails, and then I shoved him out the window.

326
00:29:24,280 --> 00:29:26,280
Oh, you shoved from on top of the table?

327
00:29:26,280 --> 00:29:30,280
From on top of the table. So I was like pushing his center of gravity, I guess.

328
00:29:30,280 --> 00:29:33,280
Okay, that makes sense. Okay, thank you for clearing that up.

329
00:29:33,280 --> 00:29:37,280
Wow, Doc, I didn't know he had it in you.

330
00:29:37,280 --> 00:29:39,280
I don't.

331
00:29:39,280 --> 00:29:42,280
Well, clearly you do.

332
00:29:42,280 --> 00:29:46,280
We've had this discussion as best as we could.

333
00:29:46,280 --> 00:29:48,280
You've had this discussion?

334
00:29:48,280 --> 00:29:56,280
Azam was very quick to pick up on what had happened.

335
00:29:56,280 --> 00:29:57,280
How quick?

336
00:29:57,280 --> 00:30:02,280
Not that quick. It's not like I was told. It's just...

337
00:30:02,280 --> 00:30:07,280
I'm disappointed. I think I made that clear.

338
00:30:07,280 --> 00:30:13,280
And Theriac, I am led to believe that you are now the sole founder.

339
00:30:13,280 --> 00:30:15,280
I mean, technically it's Mr. Wilde.

340
00:30:15,280 --> 00:30:18,280
There is Mr. Wilde. That's not a correct statement.

341
00:30:18,280 --> 00:30:24,280
Is Mr. Wilde...because you said earlier that it's like you assisted, and Mr. Wilde finished the job.

342
00:30:24,280 --> 00:30:31,280
Oh, okay. So the whole email thing was about...

343
00:30:31,280 --> 00:30:44,280
It's very complicated, but basically now the AI is running wild times to what I had envisioned originally.

344
00:30:44,280 --> 00:30:54,280
Should we be worried about that? Should we stop it? Should we tell somebody?

345
00:30:54,280 --> 00:31:07,280
I don't think so. Dr. Theriac, your vision was for wild times to be a wildlife conservation effort, right?

346
00:31:07,280 --> 00:31:20,280
Correct. That is what it's returning to because it had become too commercial, too focused on pleasing stockholders and incentivizing package plans.

347
00:31:20,280 --> 00:31:28,280
It was not the original conceit of wild times. Wild times was intended as a xenoecological educational facility.

348
00:31:28,280 --> 00:31:31,280
I cannot look at you right now, you little raccoon.

349
00:31:31,280 --> 00:31:32,280
I'm just a little guy.

350
00:31:32,280 --> 00:31:42,280
I understand you're just a little guy. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. You didn't ask for this life. I understand that.

351
00:31:42,280 --> 00:31:50,280
Okay, Theriac, can you just run me through this one more time?

352
00:31:50,280 --> 00:31:51,280
Okay.

353
00:31:51,280 --> 00:31:54,280
You shoved Hilo Lepore out the window.

354
00:31:54,280 --> 00:31:55,280
Yes.

355
00:31:55,280 --> 00:32:10,280
You then teamed up with the AI, like a computer. Didn't we see you execute that computer?

356
00:32:10,280 --> 00:32:20,280
That's right. It wasn't like a Kilo switch. It was more of like, it wasn't like shutting down. It was going to sleep.

357
00:32:20,280 --> 00:32:23,280
But you said you were shutting it down.

358
00:32:23,280 --> 00:32:25,280
I did.

359
00:32:25,280 --> 00:32:37,280
I believe, Skye, if I may, that was all a rather elaborate drama made for our benefit. Not really a thing that actually happened.

360
00:32:37,280 --> 00:32:39,280
How did that benefit us?

361
00:32:39,280 --> 00:32:43,280
So we wouldn't ask questions.

362
00:32:43,280 --> 00:32:45,280
Theriac, why didn't you want us to ask questions?

363
00:32:45,280 --> 00:32:57,280
I don't know. I just did it.

364
00:32:57,280 --> 00:33:11,280
Theriac, this AI, was it the voice I heard in my head?

365
00:33:11,280 --> 00:33:13,280
What?

366
00:33:13,280 --> 00:33:25,280
Right after Hilo Lepore fell from the building, I tried to go up and check on you, make sure you were okay.

367
00:33:25,280 --> 00:33:30,280
And my board got shut off by something.

368
00:33:30,280 --> 00:33:40,280
And if his aunt hadn't caught me, I probably would have been in a very similar state to Hilo Lepore.

369
00:33:40,280 --> 00:33:55,280
And then I heard a voice in my head say, the doctor has to do this. I can turn you off.

370
00:33:55,280 --> 00:33:59,280
That is news to me.

371
00:33:59,280 --> 00:34:15,280
Okay, but I do remember asking you about the AI when you shut it off because we went upstairs and I said there was a voice in my head that said the doctor has to do this.

372
00:34:15,280 --> 00:34:20,280
Is this what this is?

373
00:34:20,280 --> 00:34:36,280
I just wanted to make sure that I wasn't going to drop down dead all of a sudden because something threatened my life in my brain.

374
00:34:36,280 --> 00:34:52,280
I made a decision based on paranoia and beliefs that were not true.

375
00:34:52,280 --> 00:35:06,280
Firiak was manipulated in a very similar way to, as you know, your slideshow showed, you've been manipulated in a similar way to how Iga's been manipulated, how Scrap's been manipulated.

376
00:35:06,280 --> 00:35:12,280
That's what these systems do, they manipulate people.

377
00:35:12,280 --> 00:35:15,280
Does that mean it's still in my brain?

378
00:35:15,280 --> 00:35:18,280
I don't know. I, I, have you heard it since?

379
00:35:18,280 --> 00:35:23,280
Not exactly an AI expert, but should be far out of range. You're probably safe.

380
00:35:23,280 --> 00:35:43,280
But you know when you were having those episodes, well I started practicing with my communication to machines. I don't know if I'm ready yet, but I think that I could alter it so it can't affect you.

381
00:35:43,280 --> 00:35:51,280
I know that in this moment you probably feel betrayed.

382
00:35:51,280 --> 00:35:57,280
And I know that because I, I felt betrayed too.

383
00:35:57,280 --> 00:36:03,280
And what happened to you was far worse.

384
00:36:03,280 --> 00:36:08,280
I'm, I'm not mad.

385
00:36:08,280 --> 00:36:17,280
Doc, I'm, I'm not upset at you.

386
00:36:17,280 --> 00:36:31,280
But, yeah, I did think the limit for how many times somebody could threaten my life in front of you all was one.

387
00:36:31,280 --> 00:36:42,280
But I, we're all just gonna have to live with the consequences of that.

388
00:36:42,280 --> 00:36:50,280
For a woman that stood beside my knees, that Hefner.

389
00:36:50,280 --> 00:36:59,280
She's the one that led, that led a raid against my planet.

390
00:36:59,280 --> 00:37:02,280
I fought against it.

391
00:37:02,280 --> 00:37:14,280
She's also the person who promised me that if I turned myself in quietly at the end of it all, no harm would come to my loved ones.

392
00:37:14,280 --> 00:37:18,280
I also fear that I don't know what I'm capable of.

393
00:37:18,280 --> 00:37:28,280
Because when I saw her face, I just wanted to burn everything.

394
00:37:28,280 --> 00:37:36,280
Maybe we can help keep each other in check.

395
00:37:36,280 --> 00:37:41,280
Dr. Theriac, you locked yourself in that boardroom with them.

396
00:37:41,280 --> 00:37:47,280
People who took your ideal and twisted it.

397
00:37:47,280 --> 00:37:53,280
As on you, if you were alone in a room with that woman.

398
00:37:53,280 --> 00:37:56,280
As Guy, you were alone on that rooftop.

399
00:37:56,280 --> 00:38:01,280
And I was alone all the time.

400
00:38:01,280 --> 00:38:08,280
So maybe we don't do these things alone.

401
00:38:08,280 --> 00:38:13,280
Okay, we can do better.

402
00:38:13,280 --> 00:38:15,280
Right?

403
00:38:15,280 --> 00:38:18,280
Am I right? Yeah.

404
00:38:18,280 --> 00:38:22,280
As on.

405
00:38:22,280 --> 00:38:25,280
What if she takes you all away too?

406
00:38:25,280 --> 00:38:34,280
We are so capable together, Ason.

407
00:38:34,280 --> 00:38:37,280
Yeah.

408
00:38:37,280 --> 00:38:44,280
Tell you what, first one of you that murders somebody in cold blood is getting a wet willy.

409
00:38:44,280 --> 00:38:48,280
Okay, I won't hold back either.

410
00:38:48,280 --> 00:38:50,280
Yeah.

411
00:38:50,280 --> 00:38:54,280
Who's up for Y-Net?

412
00:38:54,280 --> 00:39:03,280
Theriac, you might have just made Sky's planets declare war on me.

413
00:39:03,280 --> 00:39:05,280
What?

414
00:39:05,280 --> 00:39:07,280
Oh, the game. Right.

415
00:39:07,280 --> 00:39:11,280
Oh, I thought you were talking about Saga going to war with a demon.

416
00:39:11,280 --> 00:39:12,280
Me too. Yeah, me too.

417
00:39:12,280 --> 00:39:15,280
Is that what our lives have come to?

418
00:39:15,280 --> 00:39:20,280
That we are not surprised if we hear that we have started an intergalactic war?

419
00:39:20,280 --> 00:39:22,280
God, we're a mess. We're a mess, team.

420
00:39:22,280 --> 00:39:26,280
I did kind of actually start a war.

421
00:39:26,280 --> 00:39:28,280
That seems justifiable.

422
00:39:28,280 --> 00:39:36,280
I'm not sure the systematic eradication of your entire people is not cause for war.

423
00:39:36,280 --> 00:39:42,280
I mean, to be fair, it was more like a systematic eradication of our way of life and culture.

424
00:39:42,280 --> 00:39:44,280
That's, that's, I don't know.

425
00:39:44,280 --> 00:39:45,280
Doesn't make it better.

426
00:39:45,280 --> 00:39:47,280
No.

427
00:39:47,280 --> 00:39:49,280
Ason.

428
00:39:49,280 --> 00:39:54,280
It was cert energy that messed with your planet?

429
00:39:54,280 --> 00:39:56,280
Yeah.

430
00:39:56,280 --> 00:40:05,280
So I'm not sure because they didn't want to like tell me too many details because like I was 14 and they didn't want me to like get too emotional or whatever.

431
00:40:05,280 --> 00:40:14,280
But that some of the photos that Hive slid across the desk at me, I think some of them might have been with cert energy.

432
00:40:14,280 --> 00:40:19,280
So that was Hive's idea too, yeah.

433
00:40:19,280 --> 00:40:21,280
It's like, it's like we're partners.

434
00:40:21,280 --> 00:40:23,280
Oh, fist bump. Sure.

435
00:40:23,280 --> 00:40:27,280
You do realize I'm running hot right now. I might like scold you.

436
00:40:27,280 --> 00:40:29,280
Yeah, I'm in a lot of pain.

437
00:40:29,280 --> 00:40:31,280
Sorry.

438
00:40:31,280 --> 00:40:37,280
Is Flair looking? Not that I care, but is that why they're merging?

439
00:40:37,280 --> 00:40:39,280
What?

440
00:40:39,280 --> 00:40:44,280
Bury Mining. That's who I work for. Bury.

441
00:40:44,280 --> 00:40:50,280
They just decided they're going to merge with something called cert energy.

442
00:40:50,280 --> 00:41:00,280
Maybe they have to merge because you took out so much of their assets.

443
00:41:00,280 --> 00:41:05,280
Ike, isn't your friend the head of that merger?

444
00:41:05,280 --> 00:41:09,280
Well, on Bury's side, yeah.

445
00:41:09,280 --> 00:41:11,280
Your employer?

446
00:41:11,280 --> 00:41:15,280
No, I just bring him wine for parties.

447
00:41:15,280 --> 00:41:17,280
Does he pay you to do that?

448
00:41:17,280 --> 00:41:19,280
Yes.

449
00:41:19,280 --> 00:41:22,280
Then he's your employer.

450
00:41:22,280 --> 00:41:32,280
Bury Mining. Used void. Contracted void to target cert.

451
00:41:32,280 --> 00:41:42,280
Because that way, instead of taking a massively expensive company and merging with it, they could possibly just buy it out.

452
00:41:42,280 --> 00:41:48,280
That's why Queen knows Playground. Playground's like, high up.

453
00:41:48,280 --> 00:41:53,280
Playground's the one that hired me to do the murder.

454
00:41:53,280 --> 00:41:58,280
How have we known each other for months now and none of us came out?

455
00:41:58,280 --> 00:42:04,280
I mean, all the pieces together may make sense, right?

456
00:42:04,280 --> 00:42:06,280
Scrap.

457
00:42:06,280 --> 00:42:18,280
Did you reach out to us on purpose? You're not like orchestrating some sort of halfway house for the formerly immoral...

458
00:42:18,280 --> 00:42:27,280
I did, unfortunately, I think. Maybe the patchwork just picks up lost souls.

459
00:42:27,280 --> 00:42:32,280
Like that thing Azam was saying earlier, there's no such thing as coincidences.

460
00:42:32,280 --> 00:42:37,280
Everything happens for a reason, even if it's a reason you cannot ascertain.

461
00:42:37,280 --> 00:42:42,280
Right, yeah.

462
00:42:42,280 --> 00:42:50,280
I think the Reac is just kind of sitting next to Skye, like, taking over the controls of the Y-neck and...

463
00:42:50,280 --> 00:42:52,280
What's that button do?

464
00:42:52,280 --> 00:42:53,280
This?

465
00:42:53,280 --> 00:42:54,280
Yeah.

466
00:42:54,280 --> 00:43:03,280
Technically, if I wanted to, I would be able to start what's called a surprise war.

467
00:43:03,280 --> 00:43:05,280
Can we do that?

468
00:43:05,280 --> 00:43:06,280
Sure.

469
00:43:06,280 --> 00:43:08,280
No, you are not committing war with me again.

470
00:43:08,280 --> 00:43:09,280
That's not how war works, Azam.

471
00:43:09,280 --> 00:43:11,280
I didn't. I'm sorry.

472
00:43:11,280 --> 00:43:13,280
We just made peace.

473
00:43:13,280 --> 00:43:15,280
I said I'm sorry.

474
00:43:15,280 --> 00:43:19,280
Are you good, Doc?

475
00:43:19,280 --> 00:43:25,280
There's something else I didn't tell you about the AI.

476
00:43:25,280 --> 00:43:31,280
You know, I'm just gonna let the computer decide my turns for me. Please don't eradicate me.

477
00:43:31,280 --> 00:43:45,280
I'm just gonna go to the other side of this gigantic tunnel thing.

478
00:43:45,280 --> 00:44:02,280
I think that program, after it had executed the board, it referred to me as Mr. Wilde.

479
00:44:02,280 --> 00:44:05,280
Like your co-worker?

480
00:44:05,280 --> 00:44:13,280
Right. But you discussing the Void.

481
00:44:13,280 --> 00:44:29,280
I'm not certain, but I have a fear that that indicates that... that would make me... wild times.

482
00:44:29,280 --> 00:44:32,280
Do you understand?

483
00:44:32,280 --> 00:44:38,280
Like you think the AI was trying to recruit you into the Void?

484
00:44:38,280 --> 00:44:40,280
I don't know.

485
00:44:40,280 --> 00:44:42,280
I mean, that would make sense, because...

486
00:44:42,280 --> 00:44:44,280
Does it?

487
00:44:44,280 --> 00:44:50,280
This AI seemed very intent on just... following the order...

488
00:44:50,280 --> 00:44:52,280
The orders of who, Doc?

489
00:44:52,280 --> 00:44:59,280
Of my orders, of what I originally wanted for the system. For... for... for... wild times.

490
00:44:59,280 --> 00:45:02,280
Uh-huh. And your co-founder is?

491
00:45:02,280 --> 00:45:03,280
Alive.

492
00:45:03,280 --> 00:45:04,280
And?

493
00:45:04,280 --> 00:45:05,280
And what?

494
00:45:05,280 --> 00:45:08,280
What's his name, Doc?

495
00:45:08,280 --> 00:45:12,280
Oh... oh my god.

496
00:45:12,280 --> 00:45:13,280
Yeah.

497
00:45:13,280 --> 00:45:18,280
Mr. Wilde, as in the wild, as in the wilderness. He's a... oh.

498
00:45:18,280 --> 00:45:19,280
Yeah.

499
00:45:19,280 --> 00:45:20,280
Ugh.

500
00:45:20,280 --> 00:45:22,280
Take your time.

501
00:45:22,280 --> 00:45:26,280
I am the colossal Claude.

502
00:45:26,280 --> 00:45:30,280
You are really not. You're still like the smartest person I've ever met, Doc.

503
00:45:30,280 --> 00:45:42,280
I allowed a rogue AI programmed by a multi-planet criminal organization, not only access to the project I've been working at for years, but also...

504
00:45:42,280 --> 00:45:47,280
...indain to the lives of one of my crewmates.

505
00:45:47,280 --> 00:45:49,280
Threaten the life. It's a little different.

506
00:45:49,280 --> 00:45:52,280
You fell, right? Correct?

507
00:45:52,280 --> 00:45:54,280
Yeah. Really glad a zombie caught me.

508
00:45:54,280 --> 00:45:57,280
That still could have happened.

509
00:45:57,280 --> 00:46:00,280
Oh yeah, I guess there is a murder attempt in there as well.

510
00:46:00,280 --> 00:46:03,280
Ugh. Thanks.

511
00:46:03,280 --> 00:46:05,280
Sorry, I'm only supposed to be back. I hid my name.

512
00:46:05,280 --> 00:46:09,280
No. Take the cultivator. Here's, um...

513
00:46:09,280 --> 00:46:11,280
Okay, I'll just go back over.

514
00:46:11,280 --> 00:46:17,280
Doc, didn't you once tell me that wild times was the result of... a lot of failures?

515
00:46:17,280 --> 00:46:20,280
Yes. I did.

516
00:46:20,280 --> 00:46:35,280
So, do you remember when we had that con... which by the way, I realized, oh my god, that's kind of a jerk move to give me that whole spiel of keeping secrets and being honest with each other and then you lied in my face, like what, two days after? Oh my god. Anyway.

517
00:46:35,280 --> 00:46:40,280
I remember in that conversation, I got a little grumbly with you.

518
00:46:40,280 --> 00:46:45,280
And I was like pat yourself on the back for wild times.

519
00:46:45,280 --> 00:46:54,280
It's cause... I feel like a little gratitude might have prevented this whole situation.

520
00:46:54,280 --> 00:47:06,280
You created something incredible, something amazing, colossal in my eyes, because of a bunch of failures.

521
00:47:06,280 --> 00:47:11,280
And yeah, it was imperfect. You're not perfect, Doc.

522
00:47:11,280 --> 00:47:17,280
I would have killed for a chance at some failures like that. I did.

523
00:47:17,280 --> 00:47:27,280
I'm sorry it wasn't what you wanted it to be, but I feel like you must have gotten close, right?

524
00:47:27,280 --> 00:47:35,280
That that's not something... that's okay for me?

525
00:47:35,280 --> 00:47:41,280
Okay, then what would be good enough?

526
00:47:41,280 --> 00:47:46,280
I don't like...

527
00:47:46,280 --> 00:47:52,280
Clearly burning it all down to the ground was a terrible idea.

528
00:47:52,280 --> 00:48:02,280
I'm just so... flabby-ass as to what I should be doing.

529
00:48:02,280 --> 00:48:05,280
That seems normal.

530
00:48:05,280 --> 00:48:14,280
I haven't seen any CEO classes bouncing around.

531
00:48:14,280 --> 00:48:18,280
I think you're doing a pretty rad job.

532
00:48:18,280 --> 00:48:24,280
I disagree.

533
00:48:24,280 --> 00:48:31,280
I think it's safe to say that sorry's not going to cut it.

534
00:48:31,280 --> 00:48:37,280
What do you think you should do?

535
00:48:37,280 --> 00:48:41,280
I don't know. I don't know.

536
00:48:41,280 --> 00:48:49,280
I don't think there's really anything you could do, Doc, and I know how much that sucks.

537
00:48:49,280 --> 00:48:56,280
I really do.

538
00:48:56,280 --> 00:49:00,280
Do you think you can forgive yourself?

539
00:49:00,280 --> 00:49:03,280
Have you?

540
00:49:03,280 --> 00:49:07,280
I'm trying.

541
00:49:07,280 --> 00:49:19,280
It's really hard when I know there's a lot of people I left in my wake who would never forgive me.

542
00:49:19,280 --> 00:49:31,280
But I think that if I had forgiven some things about me to begin with, maybe none of this would ever happen.

543
00:49:31,280 --> 00:49:44,280
Maybe if I had shown gratitude for what little I could have shown gratitude for, maybe I wouldn't have been so angry all the time.

544
00:49:44,280 --> 00:49:48,280
Easy to manipulate.

545
00:49:48,280 --> 00:49:52,280
So it's like, I'll forgive you.

546
00:49:52,280 --> 00:50:03,280
And boom, that was easy. So how hard could it be for me?

547
00:50:03,280 --> 00:50:05,280
I'm serious about that wet willy.

548
00:50:05,280 --> 00:50:07,280
Do you have ears?

549
00:50:07,280 --> 00:50:11,280
Like, ears is the only option for me.

550
00:50:11,280 --> 00:50:16,280
I'm not sure that you want to discover that.

551
00:50:16,280 --> 00:50:19,280
No, no, certainly not after that wording.

552
00:50:19,280 --> 00:50:23,280
What would be the equivalent of a wet willy? Do you know what a wet willy is?

553
00:50:23,280 --> 00:50:27,280
I am familiar with the concept of a wet willy.

554
00:50:27,280 --> 00:50:32,280
You can pluck a strand of pestles.

555
00:50:32,280 --> 00:50:34,280
Is that going to hurt?

556
00:50:34,280 --> 00:50:36,280
Really?

557
00:50:36,280 --> 00:50:39,280
You'll just look kind of dopey for a while?

558
00:50:39,280 --> 00:50:46,280
Sure, that's reasonable.

559
00:50:46,280 --> 00:50:56,280
I think at this point, Ike is going to let those who are still playing Y-Net keep playing and maybe find Scrap.

560
00:50:56,280 --> 00:51:09,280
Scrap for the rest of the journey is like, sat in a corner with like, kind of some randomized tools splayed out and his arm has been like, removed.

561
00:51:09,280 --> 00:51:13,280
Very quiet, weirdly so for Scrap.

562
00:51:13,280 --> 00:51:25,280
Scrap catches eyes with Ike to call her over and then does the same to his arm.

563
00:51:25,280 --> 00:51:34,280
It wasn't said, in so many words, so this might just be a theory that I have.

564
00:51:34,280 --> 00:51:42,280
Quinn hired Skye, right? Quinn's the one who called her on the first job?

565
00:51:42,280 --> 00:51:55,280
Through an intermediary, Quinn called playground, playground called Skye. He seems more like one of those scared little coward people. Doesn't seem like I can call her their assassin directly.

566
00:51:55,280 --> 00:52:06,280
Do you think so, Azam? Do you think that describes Quinn?

567
00:52:06,280 --> 00:52:12,280
Some people manipulate because they're good at manipulating. Other people manipulate because they're desperate.

568
00:52:12,280 --> 00:52:19,280
Though there is a special few that manipulate because they don't know how to do anything else.

569
00:52:19,280 --> 00:52:29,280
It's like, other people don't matter. They stop existing for them unless they can use them for some purpose.

570
00:52:29,280 --> 00:52:32,280
Oh.

571
00:52:32,280 --> 00:52:37,280
Why are you asking me this?

572
00:52:37,280 --> 00:52:44,280
I wanted Quinn so badly to be my friend.

573
00:52:44,280 --> 00:52:51,280
I didn't realize that I was scared of him.

574
00:52:51,280 --> 00:53:03,280
Look, I don't know of a man, but I've met plenty like him. Quinn takes out the powerlessness he feels. Out on the people under him.

575
00:53:03,280 --> 00:53:14,280
Quinn spoke to Skye on my phone. Do you think he could have recognized her or do you think she's in...

576
00:53:14,280 --> 00:53:21,280
He's coming here because they called burry mining the second I showed up to this elevator.

577
00:53:21,280 --> 00:53:24,280
We don't know if he'd come personally.

578
00:53:24,280 --> 00:53:35,280
The reason why Quinn is where he is is because he got the executives of Surt Energy executed and then managed to head the merger.

579
00:53:35,280 --> 00:53:42,280
Which means that he is one of the most powerful people in business.

580
00:53:42,280 --> 00:53:49,280
Not yet. Merger hasn't come through. Not till the ball happens.

581
00:53:49,280 --> 00:53:57,280
If a merger didn't go through for any reason, Quinn's head is on the chopping block and I think he'd know that.

582
00:53:57,280 --> 00:54:08,280
Maybe it ought to be. Maybe the merger oughtn't go through.

583
00:54:08,280 --> 00:54:11,280
I'm sorry, Scrap.

584
00:54:11,280 --> 00:54:19,280
I'm sorry. Or I am gonna be.

585
00:54:19,280 --> 00:54:26,280
I just wanted to get confirmation that Skye's in this situation because of Quinn.

586
00:54:26,280 --> 00:54:34,280
Because if I ever meet him, I'm probably gonna beat him to death.

587
00:54:34,280 --> 00:54:45,280
Scrap, if I ever see Quinn again, I won't get anywhere near our Skye.

588
00:54:45,280 --> 00:54:58,280
We don't have to be like Quinn. We don't have to be like Void. We don't have to be like that. We don't have to do that.

589
00:54:58,280 --> 00:55:13,280
I feel like right now we need each other more than ever. And on that note, Thiriak is crying and saying I'm a good person over and over so you might want to go.

590
00:55:13,280 --> 00:55:14,280
Okay.

591
00:55:14,280 --> 00:55:20,280
You know, I really wish that button of yours was still working.

592
00:55:20,280 --> 00:55:26,280
You know, the one that would call out to my people.

593
00:55:26,280 --> 00:55:28,280
I could use some advice right now.

594
00:55:28,280 --> 00:55:34,280
Is there anything I can help with?

595
00:55:34,280 --> 00:55:45,280
Magnolia Cole is a nice murderer. An evil policewoman. A manipulator.

596
00:55:45,280 --> 00:55:50,280
And I have no idea what my people would want to do with her.

597
00:55:50,280 --> 00:55:58,280
I like to think I have a strong sense of what I think is right.

598
00:55:58,280 --> 00:56:02,280
And right now I have no idea.

599
00:56:02,280 --> 00:56:09,280
If I were you, I would finally invest in a gun.

600
00:56:09,280 --> 00:56:12,280
It's not my fault. This guy needed a rifle more.

601
00:56:12,280 --> 00:56:22,280
People always say you don't bring a knife to a gunfight and you don't bring anything to a gunfight. You just kind of turn up to a gunfight and hope that someone will drop a gun.

602
00:56:22,280 --> 00:56:32,280
Look, I got through that entire mess in Neutrino Downs with nothing but a piece of piano wire. I feel like I can manage. Just because I invest.

603
00:56:32,280 --> 00:56:44,280
I've taken a lot of lives in my time and I don't know anyone that's just turned up and able to walk away. It's genuinely impressive.

604
00:56:44,280 --> 00:56:49,280
It gave you a real hard time when we first met.

605
00:56:49,280 --> 00:56:54,280
I know that we butted heads more than once or twice.

606
00:56:54,280 --> 00:57:06,280
We get mad at each other as much as we want and we can scream at each other as I have done to you, but family doesn't leave.

607
00:57:06,280 --> 00:57:10,280
I ain't leaving you.

608
00:57:10,280 --> 00:57:21,280
If she intends to kill us, then she can definitely give it a go.

609
00:57:21,280 --> 00:57:31,280
I saw my parents fighting and I asked why they were fighting. I'll never forget what my mum said.

610
00:57:31,280 --> 00:57:40,280
They care so much about their family that everything becomes life and death.

611
00:57:40,280 --> 00:57:47,280
I would caution you though, I do have an advantage in the headbutting department.

612
00:57:47,280 --> 00:57:52,280
I got half a metal faceplate so a lot of this is titanium.

613
00:57:52,280 --> 00:57:58,280
How did it happen?

614
00:57:58,280 --> 00:58:01,280
You know my kid?

615
00:58:01,280 --> 00:58:04,280
Yeah.

616
00:58:04,280 --> 00:58:23,280
I've never been a successful man. I failed over and over and over again and I was lucky enough to have a partner, someone who I would hope loved me very much and I failed her.

617
00:58:23,280 --> 00:58:33,280
Again and again I just kept picking up shitty jobs and then we had a child and I failed them.

618
00:58:33,280 --> 00:58:44,280
We lived in this shitty, awful apartment in the lower decks constantly leaking. Everything was mould-ridden.

619
00:58:44,280 --> 00:58:48,280
And one day I just got sick of failing.

620
00:58:48,280 --> 00:59:03,280
An old friend of mine, we grew up together and he was the most snot-nosed piece of shit you could ever imagine. But he was living incredibly well.

621
00:59:03,280 --> 00:59:18,280
I found out and he changed his name and joined the Void. So I joined too.

622
00:59:18,280 --> 00:59:26,280
One day I beat someone to death in a scrapyard.

623
00:59:26,280 --> 00:59:37,280
My partner at the time found out and she left. She walked away, her and the kid.

624
00:59:37,280 --> 00:59:51,280
And a few years after that my kid joined the lawmen and to prove himself, drove to the scrapyard and set me on fire.

625
00:59:51,280 --> 00:59:53,280
Shit.

626
00:59:53,280 --> 01:00:01,280
I built the patchwork to get out. I just couldn't be down there anymore.

627
01:00:01,280 --> 01:00:14,280
About two years after that I met Sky.

628
01:00:14,280 --> 01:00:19,280
There was no bloody timer was there? How are we supposed to know when we're close?

629
01:00:19,280 --> 01:00:26,280
Maybe we can ask the fucking hologram.

630
01:00:26,280 --> 01:00:30,280
I'm telling you right now, I don't like it. I don't like it.

631
01:00:30,280 --> 01:00:40,280
Building a city near the core of a planet is shit that supervillains do? And I'm surprised they didn't get that as they were building it.

632
01:00:40,280 --> 01:00:47,280
Maybe they did. I mean maybe this Freya Corp is a fucking supervillain corp.

633
01:00:47,280 --> 01:00:55,280
I think by nature of being a corporation you are a supervillain.

634
01:00:55,280 --> 01:01:08,280
Are you hungry? It's been two, maybe three hours. I'm not hungry at all.

635
01:01:08,280 --> 01:01:20,280
Back when I was leading a rebellion I got shot in the gut at least twice and the nerve there that tells you when you're hungry, I'm completely seven.

636
01:01:20,280 --> 01:01:28,280
You never know when I'm hungry. Wow. I just eat when I feel like it.

637
01:01:28,280 --> 01:01:42,280
You know what else I just realized? When you're going down a gigantic elevator there's no natural way to end a conversation.

638
01:01:42,280 --> 01:02:01,280
While I'm munching and playing Y-Net with a crying therian I can't hide I did just want to look over to the other click of Estrid, Flare, and Keelan and perhaps gauge some emotions. They've been awfully quiet.

639
01:02:01,280 --> 01:02:29,280
You see Flare flicking through a hollow program of what looks like movies. You see Estrid is just reading a book idly and Keelan is looking out the window at this rocky face that passes.

640
01:02:29,280 --> 01:02:51,280
They hate me now. What? They hate me now. Who? Those three. They don't. What gives you that impression? Well... We did just drop a lot of heavy information on them. Yeah. Wait a second. I'm sorry.

641
01:02:51,280 --> 01:03:07,280
And Igg walks over to Flare. Igg, what are you doing? Igg, no. No, you can't stop this. Igg walks over to Flare and pulls Flare over to the side and is like...

642
01:03:07,280 --> 01:03:22,280
Did Skynut just pour her ever loving heart out and you just... I'm sorry, no reaction? Theory, I gotta change my mind. Kill me. Kill me right now. What? Forget the wet willy thing. Kill me.

643
01:03:22,280 --> 01:03:42,280
That girl just said all her deepest, darkest secrets to all of us. You what? I don't really know. I don't know what to... Igg acknowledge it in some way. To her.

644
01:03:42,280 --> 01:04:09,280
You like her. Clearly. The person I liked spilled their guts. I wouldn't be sitting in silence. Please. Just go and say anything to her. Anything at all.

645
01:04:09,280 --> 01:04:22,280
Crystal, are you gonna turn me in? If I knew that I was stealing a crystal from, you know, the Void's most very special child, I probably would have thought about it a bit more.

646
01:04:22,280 --> 01:04:35,280
Yeah, I bet you regretted that, didn't you? No. It's pretty cool, though.

647
01:04:35,280 --> 01:04:50,280
I like to frame it like it was... Keelan? Has he said anything? No.

648
01:04:50,280 --> 01:05:03,280
Do you think of me differently? Do you think of me differently now you know I'm just a serial number?

649
01:05:03,280 --> 01:05:13,280
Do you have a slideshow? Maybe if I find out who I was before. You can help me make it.

650
01:05:13,280 --> 01:05:25,280
You could practice drawing until then. No, I like it. I liked your little doodles. And you also did stand-up when we were at Helium.

651
01:05:25,280 --> 01:05:39,280
I'm multifaceted. Yeah. Is being creative something you like doing? I guess it is. Yeah.

652
01:05:39,280 --> 01:06:00,280
I got some drawings. They have a small satchel bag that you don't really see them carrying around, but they just kind of throw it into the truck and they had it on the patchwork. They grab it and in there is some change of clothes.

653
01:06:00,280 --> 01:06:14,280
They pull out this folder, it's like small binder, that has a bunch of these like very intricate looking designs for things. Some of them a bit like mismatched.

654
01:06:14,280 --> 01:06:23,280
You can't really tell where the ideas are like connected or if they're even designed the same thing.

655
01:06:23,280 --> 01:06:37,280
I have to go into Wild Times. I started getting really into, I think I've talked to Therriak about this before, I got really into this like solar punk type movement.

656
01:06:37,280 --> 01:06:48,280
It's stupid, but it's all about kind of like using technology and nature.

657
01:06:48,280 --> 01:07:04,280
You know, it's a thing which I thought was cool. And again, I kind of get tech, you know, I just kind of understand how it works. I know that the whistle is kind of stupid, but everything sings.

658
01:07:04,280 --> 01:07:22,280
I got these designs of things. This one measures water and like the pH levels of it to see, you know, if it would, you know, if it's like dangerous for certain plants and this one you can actually attach to plants and it reads its mood.

659
01:07:22,280 --> 01:07:31,280
I actually haven't built any of these, but I think they'll work. I want to talk to Therriak about it more because I think it's a thing that we could definitely install in Wild Times to be really cool.

660
01:07:31,280 --> 01:07:39,280
I think we could bring the dock over here. They're like two feet away.

661
01:07:39,280 --> 01:07:45,280
I'll speak to them later. Your drawings are cooler.

662
01:07:45,280 --> 01:07:53,280
Your drawings are cool too.

663
01:07:53,280 --> 01:08:08,280
I'm sorry, Fler. I'm really going to try to be less of an asshole to you. I think it's like a defense mechanism. Like I'm trying to be an asshole to you on purpose so that I'm not an asshole to you by accident. Does that make sense?

664
01:08:08,280 --> 01:08:16,280
Stardust, you're fine. Truly.

665
01:08:16,280 --> 01:08:25,280
Has Estrid said anything to you? Yeah, Estrid's great. We talked a bunch at the Neutrino Downs party.

666
01:08:25,280 --> 01:08:32,280
Hmm. About what? You know, just things.

667
01:08:32,280 --> 01:08:40,280
She likes you. She puts you up a bunch. It's annoying. What kind of things did she ask about me?

668
01:08:40,280 --> 01:08:50,280
What your deal was? Kind of wanted to know how we got to know each other.

669
01:08:50,280 --> 01:09:02,280
Wondered how far we'd been traveling and all that.

670
01:09:02,280 --> 01:09:10,280
Why don't you go show the dock your designs?

671
01:09:10,280 --> 01:09:21,280
Okay. All right. Kind of readies the cane to pull them up. Oh, fuck. And then uses you as a big crutch as they pull themselves up.

672
01:09:21,280 --> 01:09:29,280
I help them up. And then I do the Pride and Prejudice hand thing.

673
01:09:29,280 --> 01:09:43,280
All right. Speak to you later, Stardust. Begins to walk over to Theriak and then

674
01:09:43,280 --> 01:09:53,280
pivots away and continues to flick through the movie selection before picking one.

675
01:09:53,280 --> 01:10:02,280
Estrid is in the corner reading. Actually, I was going to say if they're going to kill it, I'm going to get the gang, the OG gang back together.

676
01:10:02,280 --> 01:10:07,280
Dudes, dudes, dudes, dudes. Oh, okay. Oh, you can't do forms.

677
01:10:07,280 --> 01:10:22,280
So, uh, Estrid, when we were hanging out with the Baron was like really into the idea of joining the void.

678
01:10:22,280 --> 01:10:24,280
Oh, piss. That's no good.

679
01:10:24,280 --> 01:10:34,280
Uh, I'm just like, I'm not saying that we should not not trust her.

680
01:10:34,280 --> 01:10:39,280
Just keep like, keep an eye on her.

681
01:10:39,280 --> 01:10:41,280
Can I be honest?

682
01:10:41,280 --> 01:10:50,280
I would certainly hope so. After today, yeah, I'd be pretty grumpy if anybody was not honest at this point.

683
01:10:50,280 --> 01:10:56,280
It's a bad time to tell you. I have a secret. I'm kidding.

684
01:10:56,280 --> 01:11:01,280
I don't trust Estrid at all. I haven't since we met her.

685
01:11:01,280 --> 01:11:04,280
I don't know. She seems like a good kid.

686
01:11:04,280 --> 01:11:17,280
Wait, Azam, what are your feelings? If you don't trust her, we should hear you out as to why.

687
01:11:17,280 --> 01:11:29,280
Estrid is like, what's a trait thing? It's like dirt that can swallow you.

688
01:11:29,280 --> 01:11:34,280
Quicksand? A magnet? Oh, never mind.

689
01:11:34,280 --> 01:11:36,280
What? What did you say?

690
01:11:36,280 --> 01:11:37,280
I said a magnet.

691
01:11:37,280 --> 01:11:42,280
A magnet?

692
01:11:42,280 --> 01:11:45,280
Interesting that you'd go to that. I was talking about-

693
01:11:45,280 --> 01:11:49,280
It's just dirt that can swallow you, dude. That's what it is.

694
01:11:49,280 --> 01:11:50,280
Yeah, you get all those little bubbles.

695
01:11:50,280 --> 01:11:57,280
It's just particles of dirt that can suck you up.

696
01:11:57,280 --> 01:12:00,280
It's like Quicksand doesn't peddle.

697
01:12:00,280 --> 01:12:03,280
Good try, Aang.

698
01:12:03,280 --> 01:12:13,280
The more you try to hold tight, the more Estrid has designed her personality to slip through your fingers.

699
01:12:13,280 --> 01:12:20,280
All I'm saying is that Estrid's motives are purposefully hidden.

700
01:12:20,280 --> 01:12:24,280
Okay, but I don't want to treat her like that.

701
01:12:24,280 --> 01:12:39,280
Are you...are you...I don't know how to say this. Are you interested? Do you find kinship with Estrid?

702
01:12:39,280 --> 01:12:43,280
Yeah, the second teenager I've met, of course I have a crush on them, Azam.

703
01:12:43,280 --> 01:12:47,280
I cannot tell if you're being sarcastic or not.

704
01:12:47,280 --> 01:12:57,280
I am being sarcastic, Azam. No, I see...myself...in her.

705
01:12:57,280 --> 01:13:03,280
That's what I'm saying. I think she's a good kid. She just has had a rough go of it so far.

706
01:13:03,280 --> 01:13:12,280
Oh, wait. Okay. Can't...can't both be true?

707
01:13:12,280 --> 01:13:23,280
Can't we be...can't we assume the best about Estrid?

708
01:13:23,280 --> 01:13:37,280
And assume that Estrid is going to do right, but be prepared? For the worst, is that him?

709
01:13:37,280 --> 01:13:42,280
I have no intention of treating Estrid like a villain.

710
01:13:42,280 --> 01:14:02,280
I know. I'm just...I...I...I'm looking for...a balanced option.

711
01:14:02,280 --> 01:14:06,280
I understand.

712
01:14:06,280 --> 01:14:13,280
Let's just do what I suggested earlier and just not do anything alone.

713
01:14:13,280 --> 01:14:19,280
And I...that includes you being alone with Estrid.

714
01:14:19,280 --> 01:14:44,280
I think, like, there's...there's a kind of soberly look about the way Skye just said that and, like, pointed that out particularly.

715
01:14:44,280 --> 01:14:53,280
Okay. Yeah. Of course. Is everyone clear with that?

716
01:14:53,280 --> 01:15:05,280
That sounds perfectly acceptable to me. I don't...I don't see...I...we have only recently met this person.

717
01:15:05,280 --> 01:15:14,280
I think it's hard to make a hard judgement value right after such an intense, you know, battle.

718
01:15:14,280 --> 01:15:15,280
Encounter.

719
01:15:15,280 --> 01:15:24,280
Yeah. So I think...let's...let's hold judgement for now.

720
01:15:24,280 --> 01:15:29,280
There is one time I might need to be alone.

721
01:15:29,280 --> 01:15:31,280
When might that be?

722
01:15:31,280 --> 01:15:38,280
If I can talk to them, if I can figure out what happened to Malize, I...

723
01:15:38,280 --> 01:15:42,280
No, Asam.

724
01:15:42,280 --> 01:15:48,280
Look.

725
01:15:48,280 --> 01:15:52,280
I want you to find that out.

726
01:15:52,280 --> 01:15:57,280
I just don't want you to be...alone.

727
01:15:57,280 --> 01:16:08,280
Not alone alone. We could be hidden, we could be nearby.

728
01:16:08,280 --> 01:16:10,280
Nearby, maybe.

729
01:16:10,280 --> 01:16:12,280
Nearby.

730
01:16:12,280 --> 01:16:19,280
But we'll cross that bridge once we burn it, right?

731
01:16:19,280 --> 01:16:20,280
Exactly.

732
01:16:20,280 --> 01:16:21,280
That's the phrase.

733
01:16:21,280 --> 01:16:27,280
Burning bridges is like a whole other thing, but we might do that too.

734
01:16:27,280 --> 01:16:29,280
Yeah.

735
01:16:29,280 --> 01:16:32,280
I'm getting better at my idioms. Look for it.

736
01:16:32,280 --> 01:16:33,280
Sure.

737
01:16:33,280 --> 01:16:36,280
If you're here, I do seem like you're about to experience a whole mental breakdown.

738
01:16:36,280 --> 01:16:42,280
Oh, that time has passed.

739
01:16:42,280 --> 01:16:44,280
You realize why it sounds worse, right?

740
01:16:44,280 --> 01:16:47,280
No, no, it's bad. It's...it's not great.

741
01:16:47,280 --> 01:16:51,280
Is there anything we can do to help?

742
01:16:51,280 --> 01:17:00,280
Frankly, I don't think so. I think it's just a me-got-to-figure-it-out sort of thing.

743
01:17:00,280 --> 01:17:02,280
Do you want to scream?

744
01:17:02,280 --> 01:17:03,280
No!

745
01:17:03,280 --> 01:17:04,280
We're in an elevator.

746
01:17:04,280 --> 01:17:09,280
I find that deeply upsetting. But I appreciate that.

747
01:17:09,280 --> 01:17:13,280
What do you do to feel better?

748
01:17:13,280 --> 01:17:18,280
That's a great question. I don't know.

749
01:17:18,280 --> 01:17:22,280
Ferric, have you never learned a single coping mechanism in your life?

750
01:17:22,280 --> 01:17:28,280
Uh...science?

751
01:17:28,280 --> 01:17:31,280
Have you ever punched something?

752
01:17:31,280 --> 01:17:32,280
God no.

753
01:17:32,280 --> 01:17:34,280
I threw something out a window.

754
01:17:34,280 --> 01:17:36,280
Yeah, you did push somebody out a window.

755
01:17:36,280 --> 01:17:38,280
I did. I did. I...

756
01:17:38,280 --> 01:17:42,280
Is that too soon for a joke? I feel pretty bad about that as soon as it landed on me.

757
01:17:42,280 --> 01:17:44,280
That was just a correct statement.

758
01:17:44,280 --> 01:17:51,280
Okay, well, go back to that moment. Did that make you feel good?

759
01:17:51,280 --> 01:17:57,280
That didn't really make...that kind of just emboldened that emotion in an unhealthy way.

760
01:17:57,280 --> 01:18:00,280
Have you ever tried, like, standing in a puddle of water?

761
01:18:00,280 --> 01:18:03,280
Standing in a puddle of water?

762
01:18:03,280 --> 01:18:23,280
As people are making these random suggestions, I would like I to, like, kind of slip through the crowd and reach hand through and grab Theriax's root hand and grip it and see if that...

763
01:18:23,280 --> 01:18:31,280
...effects their answer. Not saying anything.

764
01:18:31,280 --> 01:18:41,280
The reactor initially, like, tenses up, but then recognizes whose hand it is.

765
01:18:41,280 --> 01:19:00,280
And kind of rescinds their statement and says, actually, sometimes I do talk to others about what's happening when I can.

766
01:19:00,280 --> 01:19:05,280
Good, because my next suggestion was going to be worse.

767
01:19:05,280 --> 01:19:07,280
What?

768
01:19:07,280 --> 01:19:10,280
I once knew a friend who liked to rearrange furniture.

769
01:19:10,280 --> 01:19:12,280
Oh, God.

770
01:19:12,280 --> 01:19:20,280
Hmm. I'm not against that, I suppose.

771
01:19:20,280 --> 01:19:22,280
But...

772
01:19:22,280 --> 01:19:36,280
And then I think Theriax squeezes Ike's hand a little bit. I think I just need to get better at what I know how to do.

773
01:19:36,280 --> 01:19:48,280
Ike will sort of walk away still holding Theriax's hand and hoping that they follow.

774
01:19:48,280 --> 01:19:54,280
Uh, like, just to another corner. It's okay.

775
01:19:54,280 --> 01:19:56,280
Are you okay?

776
01:19:56,280 --> 01:20:01,280
No. Not at all.

777
01:20:01,280 --> 01:20:19,280
Dr. Theriax, you know that no matter what, I...I still understand you, and I understand why you did so many of the things you did.

778
01:20:19,280 --> 01:20:30,280
And I believe that you're gonna do better and that we're gonna do better together.

779
01:20:30,280 --> 01:20:37,280
I believe that so much.

780
01:20:37,280 --> 01:20:49,280
And I'm so glad I know you.

781
01:20:49,280 --> 01:20:54,280
And I love you, too.

782
01:20:54,280 --> 01:20:56,280
And I'd like to...

783
01:20:56,280 --> 01:20:57,280
What?

784
01:20:57,280 --> 01:21:04,280
I think it's a good pitch that we end that there because Theriax probably doesn't remember saying it.

785
01:21:04,280 --> 01:21:06,280
I think that would be really funny.

786
01:21:06,280 --> 01:21:08,280
What? Oh, shit.

787
01:21:08,280 --> 01:21:13,280
What do you mean? Wait, huh?

788
01:21:13,280 --> 01:21:27,280
Yes, you say that, and even though you're in this small, tiny elevator, it feels like you are the only people in the world.

789
01:21:27,280 --> 01:21:32,280
There's a small...

790
01:21:32,280 --> 01:21:41,280
And the hologram in the center of the room appears again of this annoyingly beautiful woman.

791
01:21:41,280 --> 01:21:49,280
We're approaching the city now. Thank you all for riding with us. I'm so, so excited for you.

792
01:21:49,280 --> 01:22:03,280
Welcome to your new career. Welcome to your new chance. Welcome to your new family. Welcome to your new life. Welcome to your new forever.

793
01:22:03,280 --> 01:22:09,280
Welcome, all of you, to new maws.

794
01:22:09,280 --> 01:22:16,280
As the elevator passes through this last layer of rock, you see before you the city of new maws.

795
01:22:16,280 --> 01:22:25,280
A cavern cut in almost a perfect sphere holds the city life churns all around you in full 360.

796
01:22:25,280 --> 01:22:39,280
Edwardian buildings built out of stone with gargoyles, manor houses stretch all the way out, curling up the wall on the ceiling and then curling back down to you.

797
01:22:39,280 --> 01:22:54,280
In the center, a bright light, a sun shines, giving light to a huge portion of new maws, and it moves, tracking the days.

798
01:22:54,280 --> 01:23:11,280
As it passes over you, all of you shield your eyes. And as your eyes adjust and you look into the sun, you see the second crystal.

799
01:23:11,280 --> 01:23:20,280
The elevator shudders as it stops and the doors open.

800
01:23:20,280 --> 01:23:26,280
A woman stands, awaiting you.

801
01:23:26,280 --> 01:23:34,280
Hello, all of you. My name is Aphrodite. It's an honor to meet you all.

802
01:23:34,280 --> 01:23:37,280
Are you guys hungry?

803
01:23:37,280 --> 01:23:38,280
No.

804
01:23:38,280 --> 01:23:43,280
No?

805
01:23:43,280 --> 01:23:46,280
And that is where we will end the session.

806
01:23:46,280 --> 01:23:48,280
Wow.

807
01:23:48,280 --> 01:23:50,280
Oh my god.

808
01:23:50,280 --> 01:24:19,280
Holy shit.

809
01:24:20,280 --> 01:24:25,280

814
01:24:45,280 --> 01:24:50,280
If you are like, damn, I love listening to this, but I want to see these beautiful, wonderful souls' faces.

815
01:24:50,280 --> 01:24:53,280
Well, I have some freaking great news for you.

You can go to our YouTube channel, which is the Atomos on YouTube.

817
01:24:56,280 --> 01:25:01,280
We have all of our videos. We also have edited clips, animatics.

818
01:25:01,280 --> 01:25:06,280
We got some reels on there. It's great. It means the absolute world.

819
01:25:06,280 --> 01:25:11,280
If you go on there and you comment, like all that jazz, it helps us out so much.

820
01:25:11,280 --> 01:25:15,280
We're also on TikTok. If you didn't know that before, again, that's the thing.

821
01:25:15,280 --> 01:25:17,280
Those shares, those likes, everything.

822
01:25:17,280 --> 01:25:21,280
It's so, so important to us to help grow.

823
01:25:21,280 --> 01:25:31,280
And we appreciate it so much. My heart brims with joy every single time I see anyone talking about a delicious show.

824
01:25:31,280 --> 01:25:34,280
Delicious, yummy, yummy little show.

825
01:25:34,280 --> 01:25:44,280
So go on there. And if you want to watch our show live, the live APs come out before the podcasted episodes.

826
01:25:44,280 --> 01:25:49,280
And they will be on Patchwork Productions, which is my Dylan's new little thing.

827
01:25:49,280 --> 01:25:55,280
We're going to have the animals on there as well as some new other other shows.

828
01:25:55,280 --> 01:25:58,280
Whenever we have a new other show, we got one in the works in the minute. It's very good.

829
01:25:58,280 --> 01:26:02,280
It's like a spooky little show and I'm very excited for it.

830
01:26:02,280 --> 01:26:06,280
Do you want to smell good?

831
01:26:06,280 --> 01:26:09,280
Well, we've teamed up with a familiar shop. We make animal themed soaps.

832
01:26:09,280 --> 01:26:13,280
Each member of the Patchwork has collabed to create a soap based on that character.

833
01:26:13,280 --> 01:26:20,280
We've got Sky with Strawberry, Zan, Bonfire, Incense, Iguazcon, Candy, Theriac, is Eucalyptus in Burgamont.

834
01:26:20,280 --> 01:26:24,280
And the Theriac one is my absolute favorite. Oh my God, I love it so much.

835
01:26:24,280 --> 01:26:27,280
A familiar shop on Etsy to go get that.

836
01:26:27,280 --> 01:26:31,280
And we get a small cut whenever someone buys one of those soaps.

837
01:26:31,280 --> 01:26:34,280
So it helps us out oh oh so much.

838
01:26:34,280 --> 01:26:39,280
Our players today was MoMo Brian playing Sky, SuperDemon playing I, Gnornelikadare,

839
01:26:39,280 --> 01:26:44,280
Werewolf Feels on socials playing Zan, Andra Vera Art, that's our wonderful garlic.

840
01:26:44,280 --> 01:26:49,280
Theriac and me, Matthew Atburg, FlashCaptainKrail on all things who voices the pew pews.

841
01:26:49,280 --> 01:26:53,280
Thanks so much for listening. I'll give you a kiss. I appreciate y'all.

842
01:26:53,280 --> 01:26:58,280
You know what? Last time we had an episode, we had a fun little bit where I went off the rails here.

843
01:26:58,280 --> 01:27:04,280
And you know what? I was like, what do I want to ask the audience? What I want to chat to people about?

844
01:27:04,280 --> 01:27:07,280
And I'm really into Digimon at the minute.

845
01:27:07,280 --> 01:27:12,280
So I decided streaming Pokemon Nuzlocke's, which I love, which if you don't know, it's a whole thing.

846
01:27:12,280 --> 01:27:17,280
CaptainKrail on Twitch. Oh my God, always be plugging if you want to watch it because it is so fun.

847
01:27:17,280 --> 01:27:24,280
We have a whole storyline going on and tragedy and it's great. I love it. Oh, so dearly.

848
01:27:24,280 --> 01:27:31,280
You should come along. If you don't know what Nuzlocke is, it's like when you're only allowed to catch like the first Pokemon on each route.

849
01:27:31,280 --> 01:27:35,280
And if a Pokemon faints in battle, it dies. And then you have to like get rid of it.

850
01:27:35,280 --> 01:27:38,280
And we have a funeral service. The whole thing is very fun.

851
01:27:38,280 --> 01:27:47,280
But whilst I was talking about Pokemon in our like pre run, I was like, man, you know what I fucking love? Digimon.

852
01:27:47,280 --> 01:27:53,280
I started talking about Digimon. I bought a Digimon game that night, which I'm playing at the minute called Digimon Cyber Sleeves, which is pretty good.

853
01:27:53,280 --> 01:27:59,280
I mean, it's fine. It's very I'm very in the early stages, but I love all those Digimon.

854
01:27:59,280 --> 01:28:06,280
I love my little guys. And then I started showing Mo because she's never seen it is Digimon Adventure, which is the original show.

855
01:28:06,280 --> 01:28:12,280
Man, I love Digimon so much gang. Oh, boy. I love Digimon. Way more Digimon kids than it was Pokemon.

856
01:28:12,280 --> 01:28:20,280
Just because I just did Digimon is cool. The show is objectively better and I won't hear anyone say anything else.

857
01:28:20,280 --> 01:28:32,280
So if you've listened to this this far, you have to tweet at me, Matthew, I work on Twitter and or just join a discord and be like at Matt.

858
01:28:32,280 --> 01:28:35,280
This is my favorite Digimon and you have to tell me what your favorite Digimon is.

859
01:28:35,280 --> 01:28:40,280
Not just this is my favorite Digimon, but then tell me what it is. Anyway, appreciate you all so much.

860
01:28:40,280 --> 01:28:43,280
I'm God, I'm so excited for this arc. Holy shit.

861
01:28:43,280 --> 01:28:51,280
It's cool. We've recorded two at the time of recording, recorded two episodes recording the third tomorrow.

862
01:28:51,280 --> 01:28:55,280
It's very good. It's very it's spooky and cool and the villains in it are great.

863
01:28:55,280 --> 01:28:58,280
And yeah, I'm talking about the characters that I put in. I'm very excited for it.

864
01:28:58,280 --> 01:29:03,280
It's cool as hell. I'm excited. I'm excited for you all to listen to it.

865
01:29:03,280 --> 01:29:10,280
Anyway, I appreciate you all so much. Please join us in all of the medias.

866
01:29:10,280 --> 01:29:22,280
If you ever feel inclined to talk about the show in an online fashion, like a tweet or just to say friends be like, hey, do you like sci fi?

867
01:29:22,280 --> 01:29:24,280
Oh, I know that you're into this. Do you know what you might like?

868
01:29:24,280 --> 01:29:30,280
Is this show the atomist? Because that helps us out a whole bunch and it absolutely rules.

869
01:29:30,280 --> 01:29:32,280
Anyway, I appreciate you all so much. Give you a kiss.

870
01:29:32,280 --> 01:29:34,280
I'll speak to you next time.

871
01:29:34,280 --> 01:29:42,280
Oh, and the next time we fly through the atom of the sea, I hope you're there to fly with us.

872
01:29:42,280 --> 01:30:05,280
OK, now I can do it. Oh, boy.
