1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:03,840
Hey there, Adam and the Sea Travelers. It's Nordina Lee, the voice of our envoy, Azzam.

2
00:00:04,420 --> 00:00:10,500
You know, when we set out to start the show, I built him drawing from my own family's history of, well, coerced displacement,

3
00:00:10,500 --> 00:00:13,680
as well as drawing from other histories with similar themes.

4
00:00:15,560 --> 00:00:21,240
Listening to Azzam's history of rebellion, of having his home planet be colonized, it may be a bit harder than usual today,

5
00:00:21,800 --> 00:00:25,600
considering the recent surge of awareness in many real world struggles.

6
00:00:25,600 --> 00:00:31,440
Just remember to listen responsibly, and if you need to take a break, hit that pause button.

7
00:00:32,040 --> 00:00:36,560
And we'll be right here waiting for you to return when you feel ready to set sail again.

8
00:00:38,000 --> 00:00:40,000
Stay safe out there.

9
00:00:41,680 --> 00:00:46,360
Ike, what are you doing on the ship's computer? Is this the latest Ynet patch?

10
00:00:46,720 --> 00:00:52,080
I'm trying out this website, HeroForge.com. I heard about it from Scrap.

11
00:00:52,480 --> 00:00:54,480
What is HeroForge?

12
00:00:54,480 --> 00:01:00,560
Oh, it's minifigures. You get to design them yourself, and then the website will send them to you.

13
00:01:00,560 --> 00:01:03,440
And you can design all sorts of people, and

14
00:01:04,440 --> 00:01:09,400
hypothetically, you could download the file and print them yourself on your 3D printer.

15
00:01:09,920 --> 00:01:13,920
If you had one. This is the patchwork after all.

16
00:01:13,920 --> 00:01:15,440
Ah, I see.

17
00:01:15,440 --> 00:01:20,560
See, I'm trying to make what verbal would look like if you were a human.

18
00:01:20,680 --> 00:01:23,520
So we can make, like, just humans?

19
00:01:23,520 --> 00:01:28,200
Oh no, there's so many different options besides humans.

20
00:01:28,560 --> 00:01:32,000
Here, look. Look at all the species options.

21
00:01:32,000 --> 00:01:33,440
Oh wow.

22
00:01:33,440 --> 00:01:37,000
Yes, they appear to have many types of animal-like people.

23
00:01:37,000 --> 00:01:40,080
Mousefolk resembling you in Scrap. That's nice.

24
00:01:40,680 --> 00:01:46,600
Elephant folk, turtle people, fennec fox, and elk folk from the Fools Gold campaign.

25
00:01:46,600 --> 00:01:49,400
Ooh, and it looks like they just added lion folk.

26
00:01:49,400 --> 00:01:55,520
Uh-huh, and they're constantly adding new clothes and items and additional content every week.

27
00:01:55,520 --> 00:01:59,880
Look, look, look. What do you think about Scrap in this floral shirt?

28
00:02:00,320 --> 00:02:02,320
What was the website again?

29
00:02:02,320 --> 00:02:04,320
It's HeroForge.com.

30
00:02:05,080 --> 00:02:07,080
Hmm, very intriguing.

31
00:02:07,080 --> 00:02:28,080
Oh wow, and they even have little robot companions. How quaint.

32
00:02:28,080 --> 00:02:32,080
At what point do you die?

33
00:02:32,080 --> 00:02:35,080
Is it when you take your last breath?

34
00:02:35,080 --> 00:02:39,080
Is it when the last person who saw your face dies?

35
00:02:39,080 --> 00:02:42,080
Is it when your name is spoken for the last time?

36
00:02:42,080 --> 00:02:46,080
When you forget a memory, does that version of you die?

37
00:02:46,080 --> 00:02:51,080
Are we constantly in a cycle of dying and being reborn in every moment?

38
00:02:51,080 --> 00:02:57,080
Is it by the very nature of existing at all that we live forever?

39
00:02:57,080 --> 00:03:06,080
Does every single action that we do ripple throughout time and history far beyond our existence,

40
00:03:06,080 --> 00:03:10,080
allowing us to exist far beyond our years?

41
00:03:16,080 --> 00:03:20,080
The light beams down on you.

42
00:03:20,080 --> 00:03:27,080
The crystal hung in the centre of this spherical city.

43
00:03:27,080 --> 00:03:41,080
When you look up at it, past its false sun, instead of seeing the sky, you see other buildings, parks, architecture, people.

44
00:03:41,080 --> 00:03:45,080
The horizon curves down to meet you.

45
00:03:45,080 --> 00:03:54,080
A smartly dressed woman in old fashioned business attire awaits you at the end of the elevator into New Moors.

46
00:03:54,080 --> 00:04:03,080
Hello all. My name is Aphrodite. You are founder Theriac?

47
00:04:03,080 --> 00:04:07,080
That is correct, hello. Pleasure. Offers a hand.

48
00:04:07,080 --> 00:04:09,080
She takes it, shakes it.

49
00:04:09,080 --> 00:04:14,080
So wonderful to meet you and your...

50
00:04:14,080 --> 00:04:20,080
What's up? My name's Skye. Looking good Aphrodite.

51
00:04:20,080 --> 00:04:22,080
Colourful crew.

52
00:04:22,080 --> 00:04:24,080
Does she bump the fist?

53
00:04:24,080 --> 00:04:26,080
She doesn't.

54
00:04:26,080 --> 00:04:35,080
She looks a little intimidating, just purely because when you look at her she has like this indeterminate age.

55
00:04:35,080 --> 00:04:45,080
She looks around 40 to 50 but she has no wrinkles on her face. No crow's feet, no smile lines.

56
00:04:45,080 --> 00:04:56,080
She has a very young complexion on her face but the way that she holds herself is older. Without smiling she nods.

57
00:04:56,080 --> 00:05:00,080
Can I roll a sense motive check on her?

58
00:05:00,080 --> 00:05:02,080
Yeah. You want?

59
00:05:02,080 --> 00:05:05,080
I only rolled a 22.

60
00:05:05,080 --> 00:05:08,080
Well I rolled a 1. Thank you very much.

61
00:05:08,080 --> 00:05:18,080
I kind of want to know how she feels. Does she feel taken aback or surprised by this group? Does she feel like she wants something from us?

62
00:05:18,080 --> 00:05:37,080
She is very composed so not taken aback in any way. It seems she's given the impression of like she got a new meeting 8 hours ago that she wasn't expecting and now she's here to greet all of you.

63
00:05:37,080 --> 00:05:56,080
The surrounding area of where you are is a lot of these very Edwardian stone carved buildings that look almost like they were built into the structure of the ground itself when they were digging out this cave.

64
00:05:56,080 --> 00:06:11,080
A lot of them are quite industrial, possibly not for living in, but then the further this road goes just before it curves up you see that it gets into more like housing and living quarters-esque.

65
00:06:11,080 --> 00:06:23,080
And you know that she is one of the directors of Fire Incorporated, this company that runs the entire city, so it's a little odd that she's meeting you but then of course she knows that Theriac is the founder.

66
00:06:23,080 --> 00:06:45,080
So probably meeting you just to make a good impression. Behind her is like an old iron car. There are these extremely handsome people in these kind of nice quite fashionable suits that are standing around the car, which you get the impression are like guards.

67
00:06:45,080 --> 00:06:54,080
You deftly keep her. A colorful entourage, Theriac?

68
00:06:54,080 --> 00:07:01,080
Actually I'm currently working for Miss Sky.

69
00:07:01,080 --> 00:07:09,080
And what is it that you do, Miss Sky?

70
00:07:09,080 --> 00:07:15,080
Tell them, Theriac.

71
00:07:15,080 --> 00:07:38,080
Well, Miss Sky is an emerging popular musician and I was recruited to maintain the well-being of a pet that she had acquired. It's a raccoon. It's a long story, but...

72
00:07:38,080 --> 00:07:40,080
It's in my backpack.

73
00:07:40,080 --> 00:07:44,080
It's true.

74
00:07:44,080 --> 00:07:46,080
Very good. Very good.

75
00:07:46,080 --> 00:08:09,080
Azam, you tell that on the announcement of she's an entertainer, Aphrodite is taken aback by that, that's the only thing that gives her a slight twitch. It's pretty imperceptible unless you're specifically looking for tells. Maybe not necessarily negative, but there was a reaction to.

76
00:08:09,080 --> 00:08:20,080
Can I roll diplomacy to make this not feel like...

77
00:08:20,080 --> 00:08:31,080
What I want Theriac to project is the energy of like, I'm so set that I can just do whatever the hell I want now.

78
00:08:31,080 --> 00:08:45,080
Sure thing, absolutely.

79
00:08:45,080 --> 00:08:48,080
That's 26?

80
00:08:48,080 --> 00:08:59,080
There is an air of recognition. Again, quite imperceptible to her. She doesn't really show facial expressions, but you can kind of tell that she buys what you're putting down.

81
00:08:59,080 --> 00:09:21,080
For your information, Young Sky, yes, we are going to ride in this. We'll take a small trip into the gardens and then I have a small event in town that we run about this time and it's just a small speech. You'll get to meet the other directors there.

82
00:09:21,080 --> 00:09:42,080
And we already have your quarters and bedding all laid out in the, you know, our living area. We already have you all set up there and then we'll learn as to why you're here.

83
00:09:42,080 --> 00:09:50,080
So, if you'd like to come join us. She turns heel and begins to walk away into the car.

84
00:09:50,080 --> 00:09:52,080
Shotgun!

85
00:09:52,080 --> 00:10:19,080
And I say that I, and probably like core patchwork members might catch this, but the fear of knowing that Bury Mining knows that she's here and knowing that there is a bounty on her head and all of that is starting to hit.

86
00:10:19,080 --> 00:10:48,080
And how Sky is going to, how Ike is going to kind of respond to that feeling is, as like we're walking, like Ike is going to just try to be small, you know, like and trying to like be between people, behind people, like, like trying to get lost in the crew of the extended patchwork company

87
00:10:48,080 --> 00:10:58,080
as we're moving around just to be obfuscated as much as possible.

88
00:10:58,080 --> 00:11:14,080
Ike, you feel like a warm, maybe a bit too warm, heavy sort of just like thunk on your shoulder as Azam kind of like places one hand on your shoulder, but does not force you to try and make a spectacle of yourself.

89
00:11:14,080 --> 00:11:19,080
Does not force you to break your hiding habits, almost just like acknowledges your presence.

90
00:11:19,080 --> 00:11:20,080
Yeah.

91
00:11:20,080 --> 00:11:24,080
And then lets you go about what you need to do.

92
00:11:24,080 --> 00:11:26,080
Okay, that's good. That's good.

93
00:11:26,080 --> 00:11:36,080
She'll kind of like, and stay quiet.

94
00:11:36,080 --> 00:11:54,080
As soon as you begin to walk slightly forward, the elevator doors behind you close and then begins to move up far quicker than you, you know, we're seeing the elevator move down, it like fires back up.

95
00:11:54,080 --> 00:12:06,080
Clearly, there's, there's like not, you know, you don't really need to make any form of role or know much engineering to tell, but because there's no people inside, it can move far, far quicker.

96
00:12:06,080 --> 00:12:12,080
But you know, when an elevator is called, when a lift is called behind you, you can kind of tell.

97
00:12:12,080 --> 00:12:15,080
Like the speed at which it returns.

98
00:12:15,080 --> 00:12:20,080
Yeah, it closes the doors like over and over just being like, get out of the way, please, I need to go.

99
00:12:20,080 --> 00:12:25,080
Yeah, it did a bit of that before it shot back up again.

100
00:12:25,080 --> 00:12:39,080
I wanted to also ask, you mentioned that the person we had met prior to entering the elevator was like, unnaturally tall looking.

101
00:12:39,080 --> 00:12:40,080
Yeah.

102
00:12:40,080 --> 00:12:42,080
Is Aphrodite also unnaturally tall looking?

103
00:12:42,080 --> 00:12:57,080
She isn't. She is extremely conventionally attractive. You know how you would see a, like a CEO on the front of like a business magazine, but isn't unnaturally tall.

104
00:12:57,080 --> 00:13:07,080
The people, these like incredibly handsome people that as she walks toward the car, one of them like opens the door and she, she gets in.

105
00:13:07,080 --> 00:13:28,080
They are of like slight varying sizes. Most of them have like the impression on their face that it's slightly uncanny valley, how angular and trim perfect like their hair is and how their like eyes gleam ever so slightly.

106
00:13:28,080 --> 00:13:33,080
And again, of varying sizes, some of them are slightly taller than you know a person.

107
00:13:33,080 --> 00:13:40,080
Everyone out in front of you is a human, but she gets in the car and the door is continued to be held open by one of these very handsome guardmen.

108
00:13:40,080 --> 00:13:42,080
Can I jump at the front seat? I called shotgun.

109
00:13:42,080 --> 00:13:44,080
You can. The door's not open. You can climb in.

110
00:13:44,080 --> 00:13:46,080
I jump at the front seat.

111
00:13:46,080 --> 00:13:53,080
And I'm also going to text TheoryAct. If I get put on a stage and forced to perform, you owe me one.

112
00:13:53,080 --> 00:14:01,080
But if we get free food and a bunch of cool shit, I owe you one.

113
00:14:01,080 --> 00:14:06,080
And then the guy checks their phone and this was a cover story.

114
00:14:06,080 --> 00:14:10,080
You know, it's not bad.

115
00:14:10,080 --> 00:14:13,080
We did that prior to the elevator ride.

116
00:14:13,080 --> 00:14:20,080
Yeah, that was like the first call to get in and then you were told we don't need entertainment.

117
00:14:20,080 --> 00:14:26,080
I have a thought, but does anyone have a recorder recording device on them?

118
00:14:26,080 --> 00:14:29,080
Because all I got is my personal con.

119
00:14:29,080 --> 00:14:32,080
Do I still have the putty?

120
00:14:32,080 --> 00:14:34,080
You do. Yeah, the message slime.

121
00:14:34,080 --> 00:14:35,080
You do have the message slime.

122
00:14:35,080 --> 00:14:37,080
I do. That can record a message.

123
00:14:37,080 --> 00:14:46,080
While I have my hand on Ike, there's this like squeeze to let Ike know that I'm going to quickly rifle through her things.

124
00:14:46,080 --> 00:14:55,080
And as I grab the message slime, I'd like to roll sleight of hand to place it underneath the seat of our host.

125
00:14:55,080 --> 00:15:00,080
Because this is a company person and Azam is working on autopilot.

126
00:15:00,080 --> 00:15:03,080
He's done this shit before.

127
00:15:03,080 --> 00:15:07,080
Yeah, they bug their car.

128
00:15:07,080 --> 00:15:09,080
Yes.

129
00:15:09,080 --> 00:15:11,080
Beautiful. That's pretty killer, actually.

130
00:15:11,080 --> 00:15:15,080
I imagine you all go to the car and climb in.

131
00:15:15,080 --> 00:15:16,080
Yeah, I climb in.

132
00:15:16,080 --> 00:15:25,080
I also want to say that Azam, there's a part of Ike that also is going into a different kind of autopilot.

133
00:15:25,080 --> 00:15:42,080
So as you are smuggling through her bag, she's walking and darting eyes around, looking everywhere, keeping pace and just on full diligence.

134
00:15:42,080 --> 00:15:50,080
God help us. Give me a perception because your eyes are darting everywhere.

135
00:15:50,080 --> 00:15:54,080
Okay. 13.

136
00:15:54,080 --> 00:16:05,080
Aside from these Edwardian buildings that are next to you, there's not really a whole lot of people in this specific area because the elevator seemingly just isn't used that much.

137
00:16:05,080 --> 00:16:15,080
So there isn't really anyone here, but as everyone kind of filters into the car, the door is closed and then it drives off.

138
00:16:15,080 --> 00:16:30,080
As you leave the kind of elevator docking district and you move more into this residential commercial district, the buildings start becoming these like Edwardian Gothic.

139
00:16:30,080 --> 00:16:47,080
There are porches and these tall pillars. There are these beautiful gardens that seem to be thriving, even though you are hundreds of miles below the surface of the planet.

140
00:16:47,080 --> 00:17:02,080
And you see someone on a bench, a woman, and your mind kind of goes back to the hologram of that annoyingly beautiful woman that you saw in the elevator.

141
00:17:02,080 --> 00:17:09,080
And as you think back, you're like, oh, that's her. She's there on the bench.

142
00:17:09,080 --> 00:17:17,080
And then it takes a beat. But then, no, no, sorry, that's not her. That just looks a lot like her.

143
00:17:17,080 --> 00:17:24,080
And you see another one. Oh, there she is. Oh, no, that is also someone that just looks exactly like her.

144
00:17:24,080 --> 00:17:48,080
And that happens a third time, a fourth time, a fifth time. And you notice that there are tens and tens of people that look exactly like this woman.

145
00:17:48,080 --> 00:17:57,080
So, founder, we're just going to stop by the gardens again. I have a little event that I'll give a speech at. You'll meet the directors there.

146
00:17:57,080 --> 00:18:06,080
Yes. What kind of gardens is it? Is it a greenhouse? Is it a communal garden?

147
00:18:06,080 --> 00:18:20,080
We just call it the gardens. It has a lot of parks and like free area to hang around in and, you know, lounge when people, you know, just want to get outside for a bit whilst the light shines on them.

148
00:18:20,080 --> 00:18:34,080
I do just want to say before we go anywhere, your friend who does entertainment, when we meet Venus, possibly if your young Skye is quite popular on the outside, maybe don't mention it around her.

149
00:18:34,080 --> 00:18:43,080
She gets a bit picky when it comes to entertainers. Ah, no, but I'm sure she is wonderful. Picky how?

150
00:18:43,080 --> 00:18:48,080
She's an artist. We understand artists. She is very picky about people.

151
00:18:48,080 --> 00:18:54,080
She might get carried away and get very excited about a young musician or she might be a bit perturbed.

152
00:18:54,080 --> 00:19:12,080
And I, you know, I would like these meetings to be quick. Not long after you, I got the message that you all arrived. I got a message that I have another meeting and I don't want the meetings to get all carried away because she gets jealous.

153
00:19:12,080 --> 00:19:15,080
You know how artists are.

154
00:19:15,080 --> 00:19:17,080
Sure, sure.

155
00:19:17,080 --> 00:19:28,080
I promise this is a limit will be, will not be the focus while we are at your event.

156
00:19:28,080 --> 00:19:37,080
Very good. Oh, founder, I apologize. This, she points to one of the guards who sat next to her. This is Samson. He's my wellness expert.

157
00:19:37,080 --> 00:19:47,080
He'll be joining us for when we go to the speech and he'll be joining us in the gardens. But if you want anything, he's right there for you and won't be much of a bother.

158
00:19:47,080 --> 00:19:50,080
Just like that, you know, Samson. This is founder Theria.

159
00:19:50,080 --> 00:20:02,080
Samson, it's a pleasure. What kind of wellness are you a dietitian nutritionist, mental wellness? What's your expertise?

160
00:20:02,080 --> 00:20:19,080
Oh, mental wellness is what most of the people who you see around here are. We do have nutritionists and confidence experts can also be seen around, but mainly Samson is just for mental well-being, making sure I'm on time, essentially similar to a PA.

161
00:20:19,080 --> 00:20:23,080
Ah, that sort of mental wellness. I understand.

162
00:20:23,080 --> 00:20:28,080
What brings you to our city? We don't normally get visitors.

163
00:20:28,080 --> 00:20:38,080
It's a rather unusual story, I must say. I am obviously very far from my workplace.

164
00:20:38,080 --> 00:20:59,080
We were traveling through the atomless sea and in a rather unfortunate turn of events, we encountered a wild creature that was much too much for our vessel to avoid.

165
00:20:59,080 --> 00:21:14,080
We managed to escape, but at the danger of traveling at a hyper speed meant we crash landed on this planet and managed to scrape by and find our way over to the entrance way to the elevator.

166
00:21:14,080 --> 00:21:22,080
Oh gosh. Well, that's very good.

167
00:21:22,080 --> 00:21:30,080
We're in situations like that as part of the reason why we're down here. Very dangerous out there in the atomless sea. Very dangerous.

168
00:21:30,080 --> 00:21:39,080
The car pulls up to a, what looks like this, like very fancy small eatery.

169
00:21:39,080 --> 00:21:56,080
It's quite a few people in. It has like these like gorgeous stone pillars and like the small gargoyles on the side and the door is opened for her and as she walks in, the person at the door is like, oh, hello director.

170
00:21:56,080 --> 00:22:08,080
Hello dear. I would like a one table for two and the rest can sit elsewhere. Yes, yeah, yeah. Yes, director. Very good.

171
00:22:08,080 --> 00:22:21,080
They kind of opened the upstairs area and you're all pushed on. There is like one table for two that she sits at one and then gestures and then there's like a few other tables dotted around.

172
00:22:21,080 --> 00:22:37,080
You can kind of sit separate from everyone if you wanted. The other wellness experts sit around one table and talk amongst each other slightly close to Aphrodite and the seats that she has offered to Theriac.

173
00:22:37,080 --> 00:22:49,080
And there are other tables if you want to sit alone. Scrap, Keelin, Flair and Estrid just pick a table in like the corner and they go toward there looking out the window and chatting.

174
00:22:49,080 --> 00:22:55,080
I'm not hungry. I kind of want to go explore. Should I like stay here though?

175
00:22:55,080 --> 00:23:04,080
Is Sky addressing like the people that brought us or us? I was talking to you guys. Okay, yeah, yeah.

176
00:23:04,080 --> 00:23:14,080
Sky, Sky, don't, don't go off on your own. We don't know what's going on with this place.

177
00:23:14,080 --> 00:23:19,080
That's what I want to go explore. Not on your own.

178
00:23:19,080 --> 00:23:23,080
We had a whole talk. Guy's with me.

179
00:23:23,080 --> 00:23:29,080
Guy can't even sweep more than one

180
00:23:29,080 --> 00:23:34,080
square foot of a room. Never mind. Protect you.

181
00:23:34,080 --> 00:23:37,080
I can carry the team.

182
00:23:37,080 --> 00:23:43,080
Goodness. I'll stick with you guys. I'm just saying. I'm like real anxious to go check this place out.

183
00:23:43,080 --> 00:23:50,080
Okay. Well, you have a capability to create things, right?

184
00:23:50,080 --> 00:23:53,080
Could you create a flying camera?

185
00:23:53,080 --> 00:23:54,080
Me?

186
00:23:54,080 --> 00:23:56,080
I just shrug in response.

187
00:23:56,080 --> 00:24:01,080
I could probably create a flying camera. Let me think for a second if that's a thing.

188
00:24:01,080 --> 00:24:05,080
You do have skateboard as well. I do have skateboard.

189
00:24:05,080 --> 00:24:11,080
He's basically a flying camera. I mean, he doesn't have a camera on him, but I'm sure you can figure something out.

190
00:24:11,080 --> 00:24:15,080
He doesn't have a camera on him, but we can put a camera on him. I want a GoPro.

191
00:24:15,080 --> 00:24:18,080
GoPro. Yeah. Yeah, yeah.

192
00:24:18,080 --> 00:24:20,080
He's got a gun.

193
00:24:20,080 --> 00:24:23,080
What? What? Does Sky have a gun?

194
00:24:23,080 --> 00:24:27,080
Sky has a gun. Sky has a gun.

195
00:24:27,080 --> 00:24:30,080
I thought you said Guy has a gun.

196
00:24:30,080 --> 00:24:33,080
I was very nervous.

197
00:24:33,080 --> 00:24:42,080
No, my skateboard has a gun. I think I can remember seeing a thing that was like, oh, you can have a camera attached to your drone.

198
00:24:42,080 --> 00:24:50,080
And I was like, yeah, camera. Your drone has a camera that you can see through using your custom rig as long as your drone is within range.

199
00:24:50,080 --> 00:24:55,080
The camera has ordinary sight and is capable of seeing whatever an ordinary human could see.

200
00:24:55,080 --> 00:25:03,080
The camera can also record up to an hour of footage, which can be downloaded and viewed using your custom rig.

201
00:25:03,080 --> 00:25:10,080
That's pretty cool. That's awesome. See, that's what it says on the sticker underneath my board. Word for word.

202
00:25:10,080 --> 00:25:14,080
There's like a factory seal on it because you haven't actually used it yet.

203
00:25:14,080 --> 00:25:22,080
But it's just it's just written by Sky because she made it from scratch. She just wanted it to look official.

204
00:25:22,080 --> 00:25:25,080
Yeah, I mean, that that works.

205
00:25:25,080 --> 00:25:32,080
I think if we get it out of a window and then because you can view it as it's in the air, right?

206
00:25:32,080 --> 00:25:35,080
Yeah, I know that's the smarter option.

207
00:25:35,080 --> 00:25:39,080
But think of it like this, Sky. You can view it through your com, right?

208
00:25:39,080 --> 00:25:44,080
So you can just sit, pretend to pay attention and be like a spy.

209
00:25:44,080 --> 00:25:49,080
Asam, I'm always pretending to pay attention.

210
00:25:49,080 --> 00:25:51,080
Exactly.

211
00:25:51,080 --> 00:25:57,080
OK, but what if somebody steals my board? I would rather die, I think.

212
00:25:57,080 --> 00:25:59,080
You'll see it happening.

213
00:25:59,080 --> 00:26:02,080
Is it one of those like 360 cameras?

214
00:26:02,080 --> 00:26:05,080
It can see like an ordinary human eye.

215
00:26:05,080 --> 00:26:09,080
If somebody tries to steal your board, couldn't your board shoot them?

216
00:26:09,080 --> 00:26:13,080
Yeah, it also has a smuggler compartment.

217
00:26:13,080 --> 00:26:15,080
My board can do a lot of stuff.

218
00:26:15,080 --> 00:26:17,080
It's a very good skateboard.

219
00:26:17,080 --> 00:26:20,080
Wow, you wrote all of this on the underside of your skateboard.

220
00:26:20,080 --> 00:26:23,080
It's crazy that we forgot all of this information.

221
00:26:23,080 --> 00:26:26,080
How else was I supposed to remember?

222
00:26:26,080 --> 00:26:33,080
Have you seen these videos online of there's like an automated controlled like like vehicle

223
00:26:33,080 --> 00:26:37,080
and it enters a shop and it's got a little little person on it?

224
00:26:37,080 --> 00:26:38,080
Oh, yeah.

225
00:26:38,080 --> 00:26:42,080
They've got the little compartment that says like a snack for twenty dollars.

226
00:26:42,080 --> 00:26:46,080
And it's like and they they just do it and then they put it in the.

227
00:26:46,080 --> 00:26:54,080
Anyway, Dr. Therriac, I would love to know what your algorithm is like.

228
00:26:54,080 --> 00:26:59,080
What is your for you page?

229
00:26:59,080 --> 00:27:01,080
Is that a euphemism for something?

230
00:27:01,080 --> 00:27:03,080
I'm going to scoot.

231
00:27:03,080 --> 00:27:06,080
I'm going to scoot my skateboard out the door.

232
00:27:06,080 --> 00:27:13,080
Just hope nobody notices and start looking at my com like an iPad kid at a restaurant.

233
00:27:13,080 --> 00:27:19,080
So this thing specifically was mentioned to us to be a speech, right?

234
00:27:19,080 --> 00:27:23,080
Is there a microphone in this room or are you viewing a speech?

235
00:27:23,080 --> 00:27:26,080
She has said she's going to a speech.

236
00:27:26,080 --> 00:27:30,080
We are stopping off here to rest because it's nearby.

237
00:27:30,080 --> 00:27:33,080
So it's like you'll get up and walk toward it as the speech is starting.

238
00:27:33,080 --> 00:27:35,080
So there's no microphones in here yet.

239
00:27:35,080 --> 00:27:37,080
Oh, not even yet at all.

240
00:27:37,080 --> 00:27:39,080
It's it's like just a room.

241
00:27:39,080 --> 00:27:42,080
And she's like, oh, when the speech starts, we're going to have to get a move on.

242
00:27:42,080 --> 00:27:45,080
But we can sit here for like a coffee and chat.

243
00:27:45,080 --> 00:27:51,080
In that case, playing the role of the dutiful bodyguard, I'm going to like cross my arms

244
00:27:51,080 --> 00:27:57,080
and sit next to the door and just not move an inch.

245
00:27:57,080 --> 00:28:03,080
I'm going to be playing the role.

246
00:28:03,080 --> 00:28:09,080
I've been somewhat cast in this moment.

247
00:28:09,080 --> 00:28:15,080
My goal right now is not is just to get by right now.

248
00:28:15,080 --> 00:28:18,080
We can figure out a bigger plan for later.

249
00:28:18,080 --> 00:28:23,080
But right now we are just in simple diplomacy.

250
00:28:23,080 --> 00:28:28,080
Should I shut should I shut the fuck up?

251
00:28:28,080 --> 00:28:31,080
I wouldn't say it like that, but yes.

252
00:28:31,080 --> 00:28:33,080
OK, I'll just watch.

253
00:28:33,080 --> 00:28:35,080
I'll just watch my calm.

254
00:28:35,080 --> 00:28:40,080
That's not that's that's a bad idea.

255
00:28:40,080 --> 00:28:47,080
Did you say that Scrap and company sat at a table nearby where we are?

256
00:28:47,080 --> 00:28:52,080
They're at like in the corner at the other end of the room, very much like trying to not impose

257
00:28:52,080 --> 00:28:54,080
at all.

258
00:28:54,080 --> 00:29:00,080
Scrap did like briefly speak to you and helped Sky get the skateboard out, but then went and joined

259
00:29:00,080 --> 00:29:01,080
to the rest of the table.

260
00:29:01,080 --> 00:29:03,080
OK.

261
00:29:03,080 --> 00:29:07,080
In this building, do we smell like the smell of food?

262
00:29:07,080 --> 00:29:08,080
You don't.

263
00:29:08,080 --> 00:29:09,080
Yeah.

264
00:29:09,080 --> 00:29:15,080
I know that we kind of said that we weren't hungry.

265
00:29:15,080 --> 00:29:20,080
And this doesn't exactly look like a packed restaurant.

266
00:29:20,080 --> 00:29:24,080
It's we should be hungry.

267
00:29:24,080 --> 00:29:30,080
You remember the Baron was preserved in ways we cannot really imagine.

268
00:29:30,080 --> 00:29:38,080
If the same thing is happening here, then likely food is a luxury for the wealthy.

269
00:29:38,080 --> 00:29:39,080
Space God.

270
00:29:39,080 --> 00:29:40,080
Hello.

271
00:29:40,080 --> 00:29:42,080
How do my lungs feel?

272
00:29:42,080 --> 00:29:43,080
Grand.

273
00:29:43,080 --> 00:29:46,080
Like grander than normal?

274
00:29:46,080 --> 00:29:49,080
Just kind of no, they just kind of feel the same.

275
00:29:49,080 --> 00:29:51,080
It doesn't feel like they've changed a little bit.

276
00:29:51,080 --> 00:29:52,080
We're just not hungry.

277
00:29:52,080 --> 00:29:53,080
You're just not hungry.

278
00:29:53,080 --> 00:29:56,080
You're not really thirsty.

279
00:29:56,080 --> 00:30:01,080
Maybe the vending machine snacks were just really filling.

280
00:30:01,080 --> 00:30:08,080
No, I don't think that's...

281
00:30:08,080 --> 00:30:17,080
On our way in, I didn't want to draw attention, but there are a lot of people that look the same.

282
00:30:17,080 --> 00:30:19,080
I noticed that too.

283
00:30:19,080 --> 00:30:22,080
Like, but not just the same.

284
00:30:22,080 --> 00:30:26,080
They look like that elevator lady.

285
00:30:26,080 --> 00:30:33,080
Like, like they're related to her or...

286
00:30:33,080 --> 00:30:35,080
Idealization.

287
00:30:35,080 --> 00:30:38,080
Like meaning?

288
00:30:38,080 --> 00:30:41,080
In one's image.

289
00:30:41,080 --> 00:30:46,080
I mean, Firiak, I know you told me to shut the fuck up, but I like, I kind of just want to go over to the

290
00:30:46,080 --> 00:30:51,080
hot guys over there and ask, what's up?

291
00:30:51,080 --> 00:30:53,080
We're not hungry.

292
00:30:53,080 --> 00:30:55,080
Is there something about that?

293
00:30:55,080 --> 00:30:58,080
Why are there people in the city that look exactly the same?

294
00:30:58,080 --> 00:31:00,080
Because they'll have the answers, right?

295
00:31:00,080 --> 00:31:02,080
We should play cool.

296
00:31:02,080 --> 00:31:03,080
Forgive me.

297
00:31:03,080 --> 00:31:05,080
Go ahead.

298
00:31:05,080 --> 00:31:10,080
No, I think you might have better insights into this than I do.

299
00:31:10,080 --> 00:31:19,080
I'm less versed in the...

300
00:31:19,080 --> 00:31:26,080
Treading on these sort of social faux pas, I think, better than you are.

301
00:31:26,080 --> 00:31:29,080
Maybe Azam could go talk to him?

302
00:31:29,080 --> 00:31:34,080
For now, until we know where the crystal is.

303
00:31:34,080 --> 00:31:37,080
Play it cool.

304
00:31:37,080 --> 00:31:40,080
Probably doesn't translate.

305
00:31:40,080 --> 00:31:45,080
Stealthy, but like in emotion is what I'm trying to say, you know, like...

306
00:31:45,080 --> 00:31:47,080
Emotionally stealthy, okay.

307
00:31:47,080 --> 00:31:53,080
When you're trying to not give off too much heat or light, you know, not to attract too much attention in the room.

308
00:31:53,080 --> 00:31:54,080
You play it cool.

309
00:31:54,080 --> 00:31:58,080
It doesn't translate to trade, I imagine.

310
00:31:58,080 --> 00:31:59,080
No, no, I get it.

311
00:31:59,080 --> 00:32:01,080
Okay, good.

312
00:32:01,080 --> 00:32:04,080
Right, like that.

313
00:32:04,080 --> 00:32:06,080
What were you all looking at, by the way?

314
00:32:06,080 --> 00:32:11,080
When we came in, you all stared at something I couldn't see.

315
00:32:11,080 --> 00:32:16,080
Now, I... so Azam has essentially heat vision, right?

316
00:32:16,080 --> 00:32:17,080
Pretty much.

317
00:32:17,080 --> 00:32:19,080
You could see it.

318
00:32:19,080 --> 00:32:22,080
It was very, very hot.

319
00:32:22,080 --> 00:32:29,080
But there was... Azam, so, for this, because I did think about this, it is very, very hot and is giving heat.

320
00:32:29,080 --> 00:32:37,080
However, there was that kind of look that the inside of it is not hot.

321
00:32:37,080 --> 00:32:45,080
So it had that kind of purple glaze to it with the white hot of heat.

322
00:32:45,080 --> 00:32:49,080
And a lot of heat was directed in areas.

323
00:32:49,080 --> 00:32:53,080
You actually saw this beam of light from this sun in the center of the city.

324
00:32:53,080 --> 00:32:57,080
Like it's hollow?

325
00:32:57,080 --> 00:32:58,080
Like it's hollow.

326
00:32:58,080 --> 00:33:00,080
But I saw that and you didn't.

327
00:33:00,080 --> 00:33:01,080
So the point still stands.

328
00:33:01,080 --> 00:33:02,080
What the hell were you looking at?

329
00:33:02,080 --> 00:33:05,080
Because I wasn't seeing what you were saying.

330
00:33:05,080 --> 00:33:07,080
I was looking at a lot of stuff.

331
00:33:07,080 --> 00:33:09,080
This city is cool as hell.

332
00:33:09,080 --> 00:33:11,080
You're going to have to be way more specific.

333
00:33:11,080 --> 00:33:14,080
I mean, there's a void in the middle of it.

334
00:33:14,080 --> 00:33:18,080
Just a heatless void.

335
00:33:18,080 --> 00:33:23,080
Did we see it was the crystal mat or does it just look like the sun?

336
00:33:23,080 --> 00:33:25,080
It kind of looks like the sun.

337
00:33:25,080 --> 00:33:26,080
It looks like the sun.

338
00:33:26,080 --> 00:33:29,080
You don't know. Yeah, you don't know what's inside of it.

339
00:33:29,080 --> 00:33:34,080
You could quite easily piece together since you know that something is here.

340
00:33:34,080 --> 00:33:35,080
But yeah.

341
00:33:35,080 --> 00:33:43,080
Wait, if I was going to write a comic book about a weird physics defying underground city,

342
00:33:43,080 --> 00:33:46,080
I'd definitely make the crystal the sun.

343
00:33:46,080 --> 00:33:48,080
Wait, it looks like sun to you.

344
00:33:48,080 --> 00:33:50,080
Yeah, that's what it looked.

345
00:33:50,080 --> 00:33:51,080
That's what I thought.

346
00:33:51,080 --> 00:33:52,080
It's really bright.

347
00:33:52,080 --> 00:33:57,080
I thought I thought maybe artificial sunlight since they're so far underground.

348
00:33:57,080 --> 00:34:01,080
No, it's giving off real heat, but not entirely.

349
00:34:01,080 --> 00:34:03,080
It's not like a fusion generator.

350
00:34:03,080 --> 00:34:04,080
This is just...

351
00:34:04,080 --> 00:34:07,080
Okay, we'll reserve that for later.

352
00:34:07,080 --> 00:34:09,080
Right now, play it cool.

353
00:34:09,080 --> 00:34:10,080
Don't ask too many questions.

354
00:34:10,080 --> 00:34:13,080
Pretend like you know what's going on, even if we don't.

355
00:34:13,080 --> 00:34:16,080
Because the truth is...

356
00:34:16,080 --> 00:34:21,080
The truth is we cannot trust any one of these people.

357
00:34:21,080 --> 00:34:24,080
I think I agree.

358
00:34:24,080 --> 00:34:26,080
Um, Azam.

359
00:34:26,080 --> 00:34:28,080
Yeah?

360
00:34:28,080 --> 00:34:36,080
And I just sort of flicks out open her bag again.

361
00:34:36,080 --> 00:34:44,080
Does anything in this bag feel kind of like a tiny version of that heat?

362
00:34:44,080 --> 00:34:49,080
No. All the crystals we've experienced so far, they're normal.

363
00:34:49,080 --> 00:34:51,080
But they don't give off...

364
00:34:51,080 --> 00:34:54,080
There could be a specific factor of this one, you know what I mean?

365
00:34:54,080 --> 00:35:01,080
Can I roll bluff on behalf of the group to appear like this is a calm, normal conversation just in case anyone does look?

366
00:35:01,080 --> 00:35:04,080
Sure, absolutely.

367
00:35:04,080 --> 00:35:05,080
Like we're not panicking?

368
00:35:05,080 --> 00:35:06,080
Yeah.

369
00:35:06,080 --> 00:35:09,080
I'm not panicking.

370
00:35:09,080 --> 00:35:10,080
Speak for yourself.

371
00:35:10,080 --> 00:35:11,080
This rules.

372
00:35:11,080 --> 00:35:13,080
I am.

373
00:35:13,080 --> 00:35:18,080
And you're always panicking.

374
00:35:18,080 --> 00:35:20,080
It's significantly worse this time.

375
00:35:20,080 --> 00:35:31,080
If you give a quick glance over to Aphrodite, she has one of the small menus out in front of her and she's clearly ordered a hot tea, it looks like.

376
00:35:31,080 --> 00:35:34,080
As she is literally just looking out the window.

377
00:35:34,080 --> 00:35:40,080
She is almost back turned to you, is so unbothered by this.

378
00:35:40,080 --> 00:35:43,080
I mean on the plus side, that is a 33, so...

379
00:35:43,080 --> 00:35:48,080
Yeah, like this literally looks like a business decom.

380
00:35:48,080 --> 00:35:54,080
Like you just arrived, you really didn't have much time to chat before Aphrodite drove you away.

381
00:35:54,080 --> 00:36:00,080
That's probably why she's got her back turned because she's like, yeah, they probably need to speak.

382
00:36:00,080 --> 00:36:02,080
So no one is paying any attention to you.

383
00:36:02,080 --> 00:36:04,080
Fully, it just looks like you're...

384
00:36:04,080 --> 00:36:18,080
I mean, as Aphrodite said, as far as anyone is aware, you are all Theriak's entourage and you just need to like, OK, stay here, small talk.

385
00:36:18,080 --> 00:36:19,080
It's yeah.

386
00:36:19,080 --> 00:36:22,080
Do you think that our food and drink will be comped?

387
00:36:22,080 --> 00:36:24,080
I have zero credits.

388
00:36:24,080 --> 00:36:28,080
Yeah, I have credits if we...

389
00:36:28,080 --> 00:36:31,080
Screw credits, you're the founder, Theriak.

390
00:36:31,080 --> 00:36:33,080
Use that.

391
00:36:33,080 --> 00:36:36,080
I have our credits.

392
00:36:36,080 --> 00:36:37,080
I'm going to emulate this energy.

393
00:36:37,080 --> 00:36:40,080
When we went shopping, you gave me all your credits.

394
00:36:40,080 --> 00:36:43,080
I have like 6000 in the air.

395
00:36:43,080 --> 00:36:44,080
Oh, that's right.

396
00:36:44,080 --> 00:36:45,080
That's right.

397
00:36:45,080 --> 00:36:47,080
You have all the credits.

398
00:36:47,080 --> 00:37:00,080
Yeah, I just like hold up a cred stick in a little light up display and underneath a Braille display, just like display a 6749 credits for the record.

399
00:37:00,080 --> 00:37:03,080
Then why do I have 7000 credits?

400
00:37:03,080 --> 00:37:04,080
Because you have an income.

401
00:37:04,080 --> 00:37:06,080
You also have a full income.

402
00:37:06,080 --> 00:37:13,080
You're like literally the only character that has a regular amount of money that's given to you every now and again.

403
00:37:13,080 --> 00:37:15,080
I'm the only salary member.

404
00:37:15,080 --> 00:37:18,080
Yeah, you're a salary employee.

405
00:37:18,080 --> 00:37:20,080
Great.

406
00:37:20,080 --> 00:37:21,080
Cool.

407
00:37:21,080 --> 00:37:26,080
But also, if I would guess, I would think they don't take credits.

408
00:37:26,080 --> 00:37:27,080
I mean, think about it.

409
00:37:27,080 --> 00:37:30,080
They just said they don't take credits.

410
00:37:30,080 --> 00:37:31,080
That's right.

411
00:37:31,080 --> 00:37:32,080
They said they don't use money.

412
00:37:32,080 --> 00:37:33,080
Right?

413
00:37:33,080 --> 00:37:39,080
Everything about this place speaks of an altered closed system.

414
00:37:39,080 --> 00:37:41,080
You know the kind.

415
00:37:41,080 --> 00:37:43,080
So they trade off of something else.

416
00:37:43,080 --> 00:37:50,080
The social strata are probably very defined in favor of very few, but it isn't.

417
00:37:50,080 --> 00:37:54,080
No one is homeless because everyone works for a company.

418
00:37:54,080 --> 00:37:55,080
You know what I mean, right?

419
00:37:55,080 --> 00:37:58,080
Right.

420
00:37:58,080 --> 00:38:03,080
All of your faces look like I just said the worst thing possible.

421
00:38:03,080 --> 00:38:06,080
I mean, to be fair, it could get worse.

422
00:38:06,080 --> 00:38:09,080
I could describe a few ways that it could get worse, but I'd rather not.

423
00:38:09,080 --> 00:38:10,080
It's fine.

424
00:38:10,080 --> 00:38:16,080
I'm just happy to not be hungry and still get to eat, apparently.

425
00:38:16,080 --> 00:38:20,080
I don't like this.

426
00:38:20,080 --> 00:38:23,080
I just don't like it at all.

427
00:38:23,080 --> 00:38:24,080
Why?

428
00:38:24,080 --> 00:38:34,080
Because, Skye, nothing in life is free, which means if these people aren't getting hungry, someone or something is paying that.

429
00:38:34,080 --> 00:38:37,080
If they're not dying, someone or something is paying that.

430
00:38:37,080 --> 00:38:44,080
Whether it's the crystal or something else, someone or something is getting exploited here.

431
00:38:44,080 --> 00:38:45,080
Plain as day.

432
00:38:45,080 --> 00:38:49,080
You saw all the skeletons around this entrance.

433
00:38:49,080 --> 00:38:50,080
You're right.

434
00:38:50,080 --> 00:38:52,080
Like, everyone here has been altered.

435
00:38:52,080 --> 00:38:58,080
But not like I alter myself outwardly.

436
00:38:58,080 --> 00:39:00,080
It's a pastime.

437
00:39:00,080 --> 00:39:06,080
And it's all that one person, too.

438
00:39:06,080 --> 00:39:10,080
It's not for individual expression.

439
00:39:10,080 --> 00:39:16,080
It's for just a copy, which...

440
00:39:16,080 --> 00:39:32,080
I don't know, I guess I've seen things like that, but certainly nowhere near that kind of extreme.

441
00:39:32,080 --> 00:39:37,080
Like I said, I don't like it.

442
00:39:37,080 --> 00:39:42,080
Hmm.

443
00:39:42,080 --> 00:39:47,080
Well, I should probably get back to Aphrodite, but...

444
00:39:47,080 --> 00:39:49,080
I do feel like she's already ordered for you.

445
00:39:49,080 --> 00:39:52,080
Probably. That's okay.

446
00:39:52,080 --> 00:39:54,080
Be careful.

447
00:39:54,080 --> 00:39:56,080
I will try.

448
00:39:56,080 --> 00:40:01,080
It just does more of like a little bow, almost.

449
00:40:01,080 --> 00:40:08,080
And then scuttles back to Aphrodite.

450
00:40:08,080 --> 00:40:11,080
As you get to the table, she turns.

451
00:40:11,080 --> 00:40:13,080
Everything okay?

452
00:40:13,080 --> 00:40:22,080
Yes, just trying to relay more of the social footwork.

453
00:40:22,080 --> 00:40:24,080
I don't understand.

454
00:40:24,080 --> 00:40:27,080
Very good. Of course.

455
00:40:27,080 --> 00:40:29,080
I didn't want to order for you.

456
00:40:29,080 --> 00:40:30,080
I didn't know what you'd like.

457
00:40:30,080 --> 00:40:32,080
That's very kind of you.

458
00:40:32,080 --> 00:40:35,080
Weirdly contrary to the things you've just been talking about.

459
00:40:35,080 --> 00:40:38,080
You do see like some breads and small appetizers.

460
00:40:38,080 --> 00:40:41,080
Feel free to order anything.

461
00:40:41,080 --> 00:40:44,080
The cheese? I've never had cheese. Is this good?

462
00:40:44,080 --> 00:40:46,080
You've never had cheese?

463
00:40:46,080 --> 00:40:47,080
No.

464
00:40:47,080 --> 00:40:49,080
It is. It's quite nice.

465
00:40:49,080 --> 00:40:55,080
We don't get a whole lot of food down here, but we do have some, and cheese is definitely one of the more popular ones, absolutely.

466
00:40:55,080 --> 00:41:07,080
The table that you're sat at is seemingly just wooden, but she taps her fingers in a way that this small like hard light, almost like order screen, comes up, and then she scrolls for a bit.

467
00:41:07,080 --> 00:41:10,080
And then taps on the cheese.

468
00:41:10,080 --> 00:41:15,080
So I was so surprised to hear you're coming to see us.

469
00:41:15,080 --> 00:41:20,080
Of course, I understand that it was a bit of a mess getting here.

470
00:41:20,080 --> 00:41:23,080
It was quite a traumatic experience, I'm sure.

471
00:41:23,080 --> 00:41:28,080
But you found your way to our wonderful city, and that is truly a blessing from the light.

472
00:41:28,080 --> 00:41:29,080
I'm very lucky.

473
00:41:29,080 --> 00:41:43,080
I was very much physically torn asunder upon crash landing, and I had to be repotted, and I'm not sure how familiar you are with Raxalite physiology, but...

474
00:41:43,080 --> 00:41:45,080
Not at all.

475
00:41:45,080 --> 00:41:49,080
Basically, I had to be repotted and grown again.

476
00:41:49,080 --> 00:41:52,080
A harrowing experience, it sounds.

477
00:41:52,080 --> 00:42:07,080
It was my first time doing it. It's not something, you know, that's completely out of the range of what my species is capable of, but it's definitely not ideal.

478
00:42:07,080 --> 00:42:11,080
You should speak to Adonis.

479
00:42:11,080 --> 00:42:15,080
You'll meet him when we do the speech.

480
00:42:15,080 --> 00:42:16,080
Adonis.

481
00:42:16,080 --> 00:42:24,080
He has been... he has gotten to all sorts of scrapes, and I'm sure the two of you would get on very well.

482
00:42:24,080 --> 00:42:27,080
Quite the adventurous sort, not like myself.

483
00:42:27,080 --> 00:42:33,080
So, I will say, I don't want to talk business before we... before we meet with the others.

484
00:42:33,080 --> 00:42:36,080
But...

485
00:42:36,080 --> 00:42:43,080
I am... it was quite delighted to read up on you as you were coming down.

486
00:42:43,080 --> 00:42:46,080
Wild Times is just a miraculous place.

487
00:42:46,080 --> 00:43:00,080
The preservation of animals and... and I did hear about what happened to the board members a few months ago, and I am so sorry that that happened to you.

488
00:43:00,080 --> 00:43:02,080
That was absolutely awful.

489
00:43:02,080 --> 00:43:08,080
But I do hear that it's in... it's in a good place now, and that you have, you know, new people, and that's wonderful.

490
00:43:08,080 --> 00:43:13,080
I will say it truly is so impressive.

491
00:43:13,080 --> 00:43:21,080
We don't hear a lot of people who are able to make a quite successful...

492
00:43:21,080 --> 00:43:27,080
I don't want to say corporation, but business that isn't part of the burry mining conglomerate.

493
00:43:27,080 --> 00:43:28,080
So that's incredibly impressive.

494
00:43:28,080 --> 00:43:34,080
Keeping independent, especially at times like this, is very difficult to do. Far harder than I could ever do, definitely.

495
00:43:34,080 --> 00:43:37,080
Uh, hey, Space Guard.

496
00:43:37,080 --> 00:43:40,080
How independent is Wild Times?

497
00:43:40,080 --> 00:43:43,080
Wild Times would have got funding from a whole bunch of places.

498
00:43:43,080 --> 00:43:53,080
Hermod Tech, who is the technology company, like they have such a monopoly on almost all industrial tech.

499
00:43:53,080 --> 00:43:56,080
And Cert Energy was a big funder too.

500
00:43:56,080 --> 00:43:57,080
Huge. Yeah, that's it.

501
00:43:57,080 --> 00:44:14,080
So Wild Times is heavily, heavily funded by giant corporations who are part of other conglomerates, but is in itself an independent and hasn't been bought by... hasn't been bought out yet.

502
00:44:14,080 --> 00:44:17,080
Yeah, there's still lots of stockholders.

503
00:44:17,080 --> 00:44:22,080
Lots of stockholders, but not necessary... but still remains independent and not part of the umbrella.

504
00:44:22,080 --> 00:44:23,080
Yeah.

505
00:44:23,080 --> 00:44:25,080
Galactic umbrella, as it were.

506
00:44:25,080 --> 00:44:36,080
I think the Iriak is just going to try and like lean into like the sort of like, I was just a guy with a business, you know, kind of energy.

507
00:44:36,080 --> 00:44:37,080
Yes.

508
00:44:37,080 --> 00:44:45,080
I just came to Idun with a little dream in my heart.

509
00:44:45,080 --> 00:45:04,080
That kind of energy regales a little bit of like, not obviously a lot of the gritty, dirty details, but definitely just like the, you know, there was an opportunity for something grander than was originally expected on Idun.

510
00:45:04,080 --> 00:45:33,080
You know, it's just a simple seaside resort hotel experience, and we figured, you know, there's a rich, wonderful opportunity here for, you know, expanding this not just for the purposes of leisure, but also of education and helping to maintain the local ecosystem as well.

511
00:45:33,080 --> 00:45:38,080
You know, on Idun.

512
00:45:38,080 --> 00:45:45,080
Something that could have easily gone unnoticed, I think.

513
00:45:45,080 --> 00:45:46,080
Absolutely.

514
00:45:46,080 --> 00:45:48,080
If we had not stepped in.

515
00:45:48,080 --> 00:45:49,080
No, it's wonderful.

516
00:45:49,080 --> 00:45:50,080
Truly it is.

517
00:45:50,080 --> 00:46:00,080
It's such a show of your character that you're able to find that, you know, find that problem in Stefan when you did.

518
00:46:00,080 --> 00:46:26,080
You know, we had similar thoughts when we built Newmores, we saw that there was a chance for people to feel better, feel as beautiful as they could because, you know, beauty takes a long time and it was just myself, Venus and Adonis and we, you know, just put our heads together

519
00:46:26,080 --> 00:46:31,080
and we worked really hard to really give people that, you know, that type of dream.

520
00:46:31,080 --> 00:46:32,080
So I know I do.

521
00:46:32,080 --> 00:46:40,080
I, I, I, it's very, very admirable what you do and I do truly understand the work that goes into it.

522
00:46:40,080 --> 00:46:42,080
I will.

523
00:46:42,080 --> 00:46:48,080
I will say now, again, we said not to talk business but I do, I just, I feel a little cheeky so I do just want to ask one thing.

524
00:46:48,080 --> 00:46:50,080
I will grant you this one thing.

525
00:46:50,080 --> 00:47:06,080
There is a lot of, there is a lot of life on Nos. I don't know if you've, how much of the crumbling sands that you've seen but animal life is, it's a hard resource to keep preserved.

526
00:47:06,080 --> 00:47:33,080
Make sure that they're looked after with human expansion and especially with the environment change that is happening on the greater planet. We would quite like to find a way if we could discuss with yourself and Wild Times to more have, have a place for the animals to be able to be kept and conserved and, you know,

527
00:47:33,080 --> 00:47:46,080
I do understand that you do some biohacking and that's a very, very rare, it's a very rare skill which, you know, isn't in a lot of places and we would just like to have a little help with the conservation effort.

528
00:47:46,080 --> 00:47:53,080
It wasn't something that was on the top of my list, I will grant but the very fact that you're here. I think it would be prime time to talk about it.

529
00:47:53,080 --> 00:48:02,080
I understand it's a, it is a, an optimal time to approach the subject.

530
00:48:02,080 --> 00:48:20,080
I will say, as this was, you know, most certainly not an expected location for me to be at necessarily, I cannot, you know, in any way say that I am on here on behalf of Wild Times or anything of that sort.

531
00:48:20,080 --> 00:48:37,080
But I would be more than happy to, you know, help out with any specific implementations of plans, laws, protocols for how to go about, you know, preserve or any sort of similar project you might have in mind.

532
00:48:37,080 --> 00:48:51,080
And this is definitely, you know, NOS is a very different environment than a Dune. A Dune is very tropical and wet and hot and maritime, right? This is a very dry biome for the most part.

533
00:48:51,080 --> 00:49:14,080
And the sad thing is that NOS never used to be like this. Of course, this is just almost corporate greed on the surface with over expanding mining turned it into this space. So I don't know if you have any experience in like reforming, you know, the natural.

534
00:49:14,080 --> 00:49:19,080
I was not aware that NOS was the result of desertification.

535
00:49:19,080 --> 00:49:25,080
Unfortunately, it was. It was quite a long, long time ago, which is why it's in the state that it is now.

536
00:49:25,080 --> 00:49:42,080
But when Burry mining originally started, this was one of the first planets that they landed on since it was almost completely uninhabited by any sentient organic matter and or creatures.

537
00:49:42,080 --> 00:49:56,080
But the amount of ore and resources on the planet was so wonderful that Burry mining set up and they and yes, and now we have what this is now.

538
00:49:56,080 --> 00:50:17,080
And that's actually how New Mores started. Actually, New Mores was originally a nothing like it is now, but in the center of kind of, you know, the core close to the core of NOS, it was a mining facility originally and then we found the place we built it out and out until it is what it is now.

539
00:50:17,080 --> 00:50:22,080
And now it is residential area, correct?

540
00:50:22,080 --> 00:50:38,080
We do all sorts. Residential, we have factories for Frayer Incorporated, we have, you know, parks, leisure. It's very much a veritable city, a large one at that.

541
00:50:38,080 --> 00:50:41,080
Are there any commercial districts?

542
00:50:41,080 --> 00:50:50,080
There are, yes, quite a few. We don't get our things in regularly. And also, we don't use credits.

543
00:50:50,080 --> 00:50:56,080
The capitalistic nature of them is just not something that we enjoy. So we decided to get rid of them.

544
00:50:56,080 --> 00:51:13,080
Of course, on the outside, as if you were to go, if you were to buy a Frayer Incorporated product on other planets, then yes, there are credits involved. But here in the city, we keep it more communal.

545
00:51:13,080 --> 00:51:18,080
So how is trade facilitated inside of New Mores then?

546
00:51:18,080 --> 00:51:23,080
Is it barter? Is it a sort of tit for tat sort of?

547
00:51:23,080 --> 00:51:38,080
We very much so. Barter is a very common way of purchasing. We have been gifted in this city the freedom to live how we want and we desire.

548
00:51:38,080 --> 00:51:51,080
So normally it's favors. If someone would like an item, for example, that they can say, oh, I'll cover the shop for a weekend.

549
00:51:51,080 --> 00:52:00,080
And that is how they pay for that item. Or, oh, I will. Of course, people don't like leaving their own personal shops to people.

550
00:52:00,080 --> 00:52:11,080
But then occasionally it's like, oh, I need stables mucking. We need the gardens constantly need tending to. We have quite a way with plants getting away from us.

551
00:52:11,080 --> 00:52:22,080
Oh, we need an extra shift pulled at the headquarters of Frayer Incorporated. Can you do three days? And then that's how we do trade normally.

552
00:52:22,080 --> 00:52:31,080
It's not a perfect system by any means. We are not a perfect city, but we want to get away from the galactic nature of it all.

553
00:52:31,080 --> 00:52:41,080
So I do apologize. I'm sure that you get paid very well in credits. And I will say that whilst you are here, my words will get you everything that you need. Absolutely.

554
00:52:41,080 --> 00:52:45,080
Your friends, if they would like something, I'm sure that we can sort something out.

555
00:52:45,080 --> 00:52:53,080
Of course, we don't want the we don't want to be giving people not a fair deal when it comes to talking about things. Sure. Sure.

556
00:52:53,080 --> 00:53:08,080
Cutting over to the other table. Sky, are you looking at your are you looking at the camera? Yeah, I'm playing it like a game boy.

557
00:53:08,080 --> 00:53:17,080
Try to keep skateboard as low as possible whilst still being above the immediate skyline.

558
00:53:17,080 --> 00:53:26,080
And even then, you immediately notice the gravity of new mores take some getting used to.

559
00:53:26,080 --> 00:53:49,080
We gather that since this city is contained within this 360 sphere, gravity itself must be controlled by this false sun that hovers in the center of the sphere, held in place by these four large chains that act like an anchor.

560
00:53:49,080 --> 00:53:56,080
The light from this sun is a spotlight slowly moving across the city.

561
00:53:56,080 --> 00:54:01,080
The difference between day and night is a hard line.

562
00:54:01,080 --> 00:54:14,080
Rather than letting dawn and dusk transition between them, where the spotlight leaves becomes night instantly.

563
00:54:14,080 --> 00:54:31,080
The spotlighted daytime is following the main road near you, leading your right to this huge castle styled in Gothic Edwardian cyberpunk, just like the rest of the city that you've seen so far.

564
00:54:31,080 --> 00:54:41,080
You see neon signs next to gargoyles, heavy stone pillars lit by LED lights masquerading as torches.

565
00:54:41,080 --> 00:54:47,080
There's a second where it reminds you of saga.

566
00:54:47,080 --> 00:54:52,080
You angle the camera up to see the rest of the city above you.

567
00:54:52,080 --> 00:54:54,080
You see a huge factory.

568
00:54:54,080 --> 00:54:56,080
You see a movie studio.

569
00:54:56,080 --> 00:54:59,080
You see people living.

570
00:54:59,080 --> 00:55:01,080
The lights of the factory are still on.

571
00:55:01,080 --> 00:55:08,080
The sign of people in their houses and the electronic signs of shops.

572
00:55:08,080 --> 00:55:14,080
All of them look like stars.

573
00:55:14,080 --> 00:55:17,080
I want to go to there.

574
00:55:17,080 --> 00:55:20,080
Sailing along to the castle.

575
00:55:20,080 --> 00:55:24,080
You realize that it's not necessarily a castle.

576
00:55:24,080 --> 00:55:29,080
It could probably more astutely be called a cathedral.

577
00:55:29,080 --> 00:55:33,080
A massive, beautiful Gothic building.

578
00:55:33,080 --> 00:55:40,080
You see this stained glass, like all around it, stained glass windows.

579
00:55:40,080 --> 00:55:45,080
At the front has this one giant circle of stained glass.

580
00:55:45,080 --> 00:55:48,080
As skateboard approaches it, it's actually not stained glass.

581
00:55:48,080 --> 00:55:54,080
It is once again just another hard light hologram of stained glass.

582
00:55:54,080 --> 00:56:06,080
Occasionally as you're looking at it, the stained glass, which looks like the sun in this artistic representation of a sun shining down on a city,

583
00:56:06,080 --> 00:56:11,080
it changes to a clock and it changes to some news announcements.

584
00:56:11,080 --> 00:56:18,080
Monthly sermon takes place in one hour, 25 minutes, and it is counting down.

585
00:56:18,080 --> 00:56:22,080
Oh, hell yeah, skateboard's going to go to a sermon.

586
00:56:22,080 --> 00:56:24,080
I hope it doesn't need to get baptized.

587
00:56:24,080 --> 00:56:25,080
Is it going inside?

588
00:56:25,080 --> 00:56:30,080
It's going inside, baby. That's a public place.

589
00:56:30,080 --> 00:56:36,080
Skateboard hovers inside. You get a few looks from people, but as you scoot in,

590
00:56:36,080 --> 00:56:50,080
this huge statue of just a sun, an artist's interpretation of a sun, is in the center of this cathedral.

591
00:56:50,080 --> 00:56:57,080
And looking around at the patrons, there's a lot of people with like hoods fully covering their face.

592
00:56:57,080 --> 00:57:07,080
Some people who are far taller than any human should be.

593
00:57:07,080 --> 00:57:19,080
There are people who are being carried around in sometimes of reverence on chairs, sometimes in a wheelchair.

594
00:57:19,080 --> 00:57:23,080
The cloaks themselves look nice. It's like cool.

595
00:57:23,080 --> 00:57:29,080
It feels very classic if you were in a church, in a large cathedral.

596
00:57:29,080 --> 00:57:44,080
It looks almost designer. They're trimmed with this dark, like dark colors, but trimmed with, you know, like a different color.

597
00:57:44,080 --> 00:57:51,080
A lot of them have words on the back in a script that you don't quite recognize.

598
00:57:51,080 --> 00:58:01,080
Getting into seats, some pushing toward the front, some like deciding to stand.

599
00:58:01,080 --> 00:58:05,080
There's almost like a queue forming.

600
00:58:05,080 --> 00:58:11,080
Well, skateboards get its save at seat.

601
00:58:11,080 --> 00:58:22,080
The skateboard flies and sits down on a seat next to some people who aren't covering their face at all.

602
00:58:22,080 --> 00:58:29,080
They look very handsome, sharp jaw. Very classic. Looking very nice.

603
00:58:29,080 --> 00:58:35,080
Can I control skateboard enough to like...

604
00:58:35,080 --> 00:58:41,080
Just give them a little nod. Yeah, you can nod. You want to nod to the person?

605
00:58:41,080 --> 00:58:50,080
They nod kind of confused and then look at skateboard interested, seeing what skateboard's doing.

606
00:58:50,080 --> 00:58:54,080
You said to play it cool.

607
00:58:54,080 --> 00:59:09,080
You hear not coming from skateboard, but coming from outside of this garden's... Oh, I tell you what, another thing that you do notice whilst flying around a skateboard.

608
00:59:09,080 --> 00:59:22,080
There is this very kind of densely, like this dense woodland that you can see, which is a pretty bizarre sight since you're so far underground.

609
00:59:22,080 --> 00:59:29,080
But you do you also see some like rocky outcroppings, almost like a just a nature reserve.

610
00:59:29,080 --> 00:59:48,080
And from this very densely packed natural park, there are these vines that are twining and twisting and seemingly are coming from the sun itself.

611
00:59:48,080 --> 00:59:59,080
Kind of cascading down like they were grown from the sphere in the center, the core, this sun that is shining.

612
00:59:59,080 --> 01:00:08,080
And these vines are cascading down into this natural area.

613
01:00:08,080 --> 01:00:13,080
Yo, you think that's our entryway?

614
01:00:13,080 --> 01:00:21,080
Are you familiar with the human story of James and the Giant Peach? No. What's the other one? Jack and the Beanstalk.

615
01:00:21,080 --> 01:00:25,080
I mean, are we going there? Is that our goal?

616
01:00:25,080 --> 01:00:28,080
Probably, eventually.

617
01:00:28,080 --> 01:00:35,080
I mean, I suppose that's what we came to do.

618
01:00:35,080 --> 01:00:37,080
And fix our ship. Yeah.

619
01:00:37,080 --> 01:00:42,080
I hope Theriak asks about that.

620
01:00:42,080 --> 01:00:48,080
There is a noise from outside of this restaurant, this cafe.

621
01:00:48,080 --> 01:00:51,080
Sounds like a bell ringing.

622
01:00:51,080 --> 01:01:01,080
Aphrodite finishing off a sentence like, and that's, oh, god, and then turns out the window at this bell ringing.

623
01:01:01,080 --> 01:01:15,080
There is a huge group of people. They are carrying banners and ringing bells and they are marching in the center of the light.

624
01:01:15,080 --> 01:01:24,080
They are walking with purpose and reverence. They are calling blessings from the light.

625
01:01:24,080 --> 01:01:32,080
There is this excitement for just them being together as a group or thanking the light.

626
01:01:32,080 --> 01:01:37,080
Aphrodite sighs.

627
01:01:37,080 --> 01:01:41,080
OK. Samson, darling.

628
01:01:41,080 --> 01:01:46,080
Samson gets up, walks over to your table.

629
01:01:46,080 --> 01:01:53,080
As he does, she kind of immediately palms and ignores him, turning back toward the window.

630
01:01:53,080 --> 01:02:01,080
As she looks out, even though it's just like it's just a crack in a window that she's she's like looking out of, it's barely a look at all.

631
01:02:01,080 --> 01:02:07,080
There is this very audible gasp from someone.

632
01:02:07,080 --> 01:02:11,080
It's the director. Aphrodite, Aphrodite, Aphrodite.

633
01:02:11,080 --> 01:02:17,080
And then the crowd starts cheering and reaching their hands out.

634
01:02:17,080 --> 01:02:24,080
And she gives a small wave, opens, opens the window like blessing of the light upon you all.

635
01:02:24,080 --> 01:02:28,080
Like, thank you, like, thank you, Aphrodite. Thank you, Aphrodite. Thank you.

636
01:02:28,080 --> 01:02:33,080
Yes, I'll I'll be seeing you at the sermon. Thank you. Thank you all.

637
01:02:33,080 --> 01:02:44,080
And she waves them as they all are just in chorus, thanking and screaming her like they've just seen a Beatles member from and they're all in the 1960s.

638
01:02:44,080 --> 01:02:49,080
They are losing their mind. They are so excited, but they don't stop.

639
01:02:49,080 --> 01:02:52,080
They do keep walking. OK.

640
01:02:52,080 --> 01:02:57,080
Everyone gets a ping on their com right now from a Zom.

641
01:02:57,080 --> 01:03:04,080
That's the entirety of the message is just the dictionary definition for the word cult.

642
01:03:04,080 --> 01:03:14,080
Oh, we thought they were cult. They're cult vibes, but we don't know they're a cult.

643
01:03:14,080 --> 01:03:23,080
I agree. It's the whole Wikipedia page.

644
01:03:23,080 --> 01:03:27,080
Wow, Jim Jones, huh?

645
01:03:27,080 --> 01:03:36,080
The theory that kind of looks over to Aphrodite, it's like, oh, is religion a prominent part of.

646
01:03:36,080 --> 01:03:39,080
No more life.

647
01:03:39,080 --> 01:03:44,080
Not necessarily, not the intention at all. Are you a religious person, Theriac?

648
01:03:44,080 --> 01:03:53,080
I am. I am, in fact, it's not a commonly practiced religion to my knowledge.

649
01:03:53,080 --> 01:04:05,080
It's rather limited to primarily to on Raxle.

650
01:04:05,080 --> 01:04:11,080
We believe in something called Fodo, which is sort of this idea that.

651
01:04:11,080 --> 01:04:14,080
Ah, very good. The Cultivator, correct.

652
01:04:14,080 --> 01:04:17,080
Yes. Oh, you're familiar. Oh, wonderful.

653
01:04:17,080 --> 01:04:33,080
Yes. The Cultivator, definitely. When I was growing up, she was quite the very, you know, you know how times change, but where I grew up, people spoke about them a lot. Yes.

654
01:04:33,080 --> 01:04:40,080
It's been a good minute since I've met anyone who's familiar. That's wonderful.

655
01:04:40,080 --> 01:04:47,080
Yes. We aren't, New Mors isn't founded on any form of religion, necessarily.

656
01:04:47,080 --> 01:04:57,080
Sure. Who's founded on the, by the, for the purposes of brewery, yes?

657
01:04:57,080 --> 01:05:07,080
Yes. These people have taken to calling themselves Daylighters. They walk in the light that the sun that we were able to manufacture gives.

658
01:05:07,080 --> 01:05:20,080
They walk it in because the three of us, since we built the sun that hangs in the sky and gives us the the blessings, I will admit, of.

659
01:05:20,080 --> 01:05:28,080
I'm sure you've noticed that you've not been hungry since you stepped foot inside of the New Mors docking station at all.

660
01:05:28,080 --> 01:05:38,080
I did notice. I was curious about that. And is that primarily from this manufactured sun?

661
01:05:38,080 --> 01:05:44,080
We receive a lot of blessings. The worries of most people are not concerns in New Mors.

662
01:05:44,080 --> 01:05:54,080
We have found out ways to eliminate the biggest anxieties that people fear. When is your next meal coming?

663
01:05:54,080 --> 01:06:01,080
Do I have enough time to do this? Do I have enough money to pay? All of this has been taken care of by the light.

664
01:06:01,080 --> 01:06:12,080
And although myself understand that it is purely science, some other people believe it to be more so.

665
01:06:12,080 --> 01:06:19,080
And I appreciate them. Of course, they support us and they do help.

666
01:06:19,080 --> 01:06:29,080
Specifically, these day lighters, they don't stop moving. They refuse to touch the darkness when the light passes over them,

667
01:06:29,080 --> 01:06:38,080
which is just because they're a little bit weird more than anything else.

668
01:06:38,080 --> 01:06:44,080
But since they're walking, I guess we should not necessarily join them. We should get going.

669
01:06:44,080 --> 01:06:49,080
Or the...summon? Is it?

670
01:06:49,080 --> 01:06:54,080
Event. But people prefer to call it as such.

671
01:06:54,080 --> 01:06:56,080
Interesting.

672
01:06:56,080 --> 01:07:01,080
Right then, we can get this into GoWalk. Samson, can you take this?

673
01:07:01,080 --> 01:07:08,080
Thank you, Samson. Question. When I say thank you, Samson, any weird reactions from Samson or Aphrodite?

674
01:07:08,080 --> 01:07:09,080
No.

675
01:07:09,080 --> 01:07:10,080
Okay, great.

676
01:07:10,080 --> 01:07:16,080
They pack up. Aphrodite stands. Okay, everyone, we're just going to make our way to the event now.

677
01:07:16,080 --> 01:07:21,080
We have enough space for all of you. The theory act, your entourage is welcome to stand with us.

678
01:07:21,080 --> 01:07:24,080
We'll go meet the other directors there.

679
01:07:24,080 --> 01:07:29,080
And then afterwards, it shouldn't take us long. Only about an hour and then some thank yous.

680
01:07:29,080 --> 01:07:37,080
And then we will go up to our abode where we have all of your amenities.

681
01:07:37,080 --> 01:07:42,080
And you can rest and then tomorrow we can get on with more business talk.

682
01:07:42,080 --> 01:07:44,080
Okay, ready to go?

683
01:07:44,080 --> 01:07:45,080
Certainly.

684
01:07:45,080 --> 01:07:46,080
Shotgun!

685
01:07:46,080 --> 01:07:56,080
Theory act takes all the cheese and crackers and puts them in a little to-go box.

686
01:07:56,080 --> 01:08:01,080
You...climb to the car and you drive off toward this cathedral.

687
01:08:01,080 --> 01:08:07,080
You pass by the daylighters as they make their walk.

688
01:08:07,080 --> 01:08:12,080
You match pace with the sun's light.

689
01:08:12,080 --> 01:08:23,080
You don't ever end up getting into the darkness, but you do kind of see it move and you see the hard line of dark that is being eliminated as you all drive up.

690
01:08:23,080 --> 01:08:26,080
Park around back. Aphrodite gets out.

691
01:08:26,080 --> 01:08:34,080
Samson joins you. She waves you over and she's like, I am sorry. I know that I said that you could all join.

692
01:08:34,080 --> 01:08:45,080
There is one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight of you. Could we take just a few less of you, actually?

693
01:08:45,080 --> 01:08:47,080
The rest of you can just go wait for us.

694
01:08:47,080 --> 01:08:48,080
That's cool. I saved myself a seat.

695
01:08:48,080 --> 01:08:50,080
Get rid of the fucking NPCs.

696
01:08:50,080 --> 01:08:53,080
NPCs are out of here!

697
01:08:53,080 --> 01:08:57,080
It's funnier to say that because this zone was totally like already taking a step back.

698
01:08:57,080 --> 01:09:01,080
I was also...I was like...

699
01:09:01,080 --> 01:09:03,080
Nah, NPCs are leaving.

700
01:09:03,080 --> 01:09:04,080
Okay.

701
01:09:04,080 --> 01:09:09,080
Kielan, Flair, and Estrid are all like, yes, we will go.

702
01:09:09,080 --> 01:09:20,080
Yeah, we can...we'll go upstairs. We'll take what the few bags we have. We'll make sure that the accommodations are ready, mom.

703
01:09:20,080 --> 01:09:21,080
Very good.

704
01:09:21,080 --> 01:09:33,080
Can I like...when we pass by Kielan and not Flair and Estrid, can I lean into the other teenagers and be like, yo, we're finding someplace to chill tonight, right?

705
01:09:33,080 --> 01:09:38,080
Darling, you know I ain't fucking...I ain't staying in one place here. I want to know what the fuck's going on.

706
01:09:38,080 --> 01:09:40,080
Yeah, okay.

707
01:09:40,080 --> 01:09:41,080
Oh my god.

708
01:09:41,080 --> 01:09:43,080
Meet up later. Meet up later.

709
01:09:43,080 --> 01:09:47,080
Skye is arranging a cousin's hang at the...

710
01:09:47,080 --> 01:09:49,080
We're going for a walk during Thanksgiving.

711
01:09:49,080 --> 01:09:53,080
A cousin's hang at Thanksgiving.

712
01:09:53,080 --> 01:09:57,080
Hey, hey, Space God. Really important question here.

713
01:09:57,080 --> 01:09:58,080
Hello.

714
01:09:58,080 --> 01:10:01,080
Where are the children?

715
01:10:01,080 --> 01:10:02,080
The children of the city?

716
01:10:02,080 --> 01:10:03,080
Yeah.

717
01:10:03,080 --> 01:10:05,080
You haven't seen any?

718
01:10:05,080 --> 01:10:14,080
Oh, great. That's always a really good sign things are going well in your society.

719
01:10:14,080 --> 01:10:29,080
I mean, the society does seem...just saying it out loud. I've studied enough anthropology. Me as a player, it does feel a bit stagnant, but purposefully so. Just putting that one out there.

720
01:10:29,080 --> 01:10:30,080
As soon as they were like...

721
01:10:30,080 --> 01:10:31,080
We have been replaced.

722
01:10:31,080 --> 01:10:43,080
We've eliminated all of like the complications of like the outside world. I was like, okay, so there's no way kids are allowed here.

723
01:10:43,080 --> 01:10:47,080
It sounds like a capitalist commune. I hate that.

724
01:10:47,080 --> 01:10:51,080
Oh, actually, the capitalist commune hates capitalism.

725
01:10:51,080 --> 01:10:53,080
Yeah, I think you're right. She said that she actually hates...

726
01:10:53,080 --> 01:11:03,080
Right, she's anti-capitalist, which like normally I would like, but the capital is still capital if the capital is...

727
01:11:03,080 --> 01:11:05,080
Is earning capital.

728
01:11:05,080 --> 01:11:07,080
Not paper money.

729
01:11:07,080 --> 01:11:10,080
We've all met that like liberal who...

730
01:11:10,080 --> 01:11:24,080
I will say right now, if you...this might have come up in conversation, Aphrodite 100% says that she's a liberal. 100% is like, I'm a liberal.

731
01:11:24,080 --> 01:11:25,080
Jesus Christ.

732
01:11:25,080 --> 01:11:28,080
Just for God's sake, you're saying that liberal.

733
01:11:28,080 --> 01:11:29,080
I'm quite progressive.

734
01:11:29,080 --> 01:11:31,080
I believe in fiscal freedoms.

735
01:11:31,080 --> 01:11:36,080
Yeah. Yeah, absolutely.

736
01:11:36,080 --> 01:11:42,080
Kill me.

737
01:11:42,080 --> 01:11:52,080
Walking in, you like walk through the back. It's kind of...you immediately feel that...I don't know how many people have been into churches and cathedrals, obviously in person, I imagine we will have, but in game.

738
01:11:52,080 --> 01:12:02,080
That kind of cold, like immediate shift from the outside to inside of like a large...a large area.

739
01:12:02,080 --> 01:12:12,080
You can hear a gathering of people, you're covered by a curtain at the minute, not quite out into sky where you saw that kind of main...

740
01:12:12,080 --> 01:12:14,080
The pew.

741
01:12:14,080 --> 01:12:15,080
Is it called the pew?

742
01:12:15,080 --> 01:12:17,080
I don't know.

743
01:12:17,080 --> 01:12:18,080
The atrium.

744
01:12:18,080 --> 01:12:19,080
You're talking about like an atrium.

745
01:12:19,080 --> 01:12:21,080
Yeah, like an atrium.

746
01:12:21,080 --> 01:12:24,080
Where you sit down at the fucking benches.

747
01:12:24,080 --> 01:12:29,080
Yeah, absolutely. So the atrium. So you're not in the atrium yet, you're like in one of the back rooms.

748
01:12:29,080 --> 01:12:40,080
There are these like gorgeous tapestries, these different writings and teachings, the stained glass still shines through here.

749
01:12:40,080 --> 01:12:44,080
All of this artificial sun and this light.

750
01:12:44,080 --> 01:12:59,080
Actually, I will say that everyone notices that there are plants in plant pots, but unlike, you know, plants that we get that you kind of you get the trim of the flowers and you put them in and then you kind of leave them there.

751
01:12:59,080 --> 01:13:20,080
You can see like grown over cutting marks, like people keep cutting them down in this back area, you, all of you, immediately recognize the exceedingly beautiful woman who was in the holograms.

752
01:13:20,080 --> 01:13:29,080
She has this very classic movie star era aura about her.

753
01:13:29,080 --> 01:13:42,080
She has this shoulder length, curled hair, and she is speaking to a like very muscle bound shaved head.

754
01:13:42,080 --> 01:13:51,080
He has got like scars covering huge amounts of his body, but all of them like give him more of an allure.

755
01:13:51,080 --> 01:13:56,080
None of them are like scars, as you would imagine a fighter has.

756
01:13:56,080 --> 01:13:58,080
They are all aesthetic to look at.

757
01:13:58,080 --> 01:14:00,080
They are not. They don't seem.

758
01:14:00,080 --> 01:14:03,080
OK, there's two kinds of scars that come into mind.

759
01:14:03,080 --> 01:14:08,080
And I want to make sure we're making a clarification here, because I don't know which one it is.

760
01:14:08,080 --> 01:14:20,080
Are we talking about scars that look like they should have been gotten from attacks, but instead of being normal, are in an artistic array or are we talking about like ritualistic scarification?

761
01:14:20,080 --> 01:14:25,080
We are talking like aesthetic looking anime scars.

762
01:14:25,080 --> 01:14:28,080
Ah, OK. So the former. Yeah, got it.

763
01:14:28,080 --> 01:14:29,080
Yeah.

764
01:14:29,080 --> 01:14:32,080
Purple. OK.

765
01:14:32,080 --> 01:14:36,080
Aphrodite knocks slightly at the door.

766
01:14:36,080 --> 01:14:39,080
I know both of you. I hope your day has been pleasant.

767
01:14:39,080 --> 01:14:44,080
Darling turns around the very beautiful woman.

768
01:14:44,080 --> 01:14:46,080
I imagine these are the people that you're going to go meet.

769
01:14:46,080 --> 01:14:49,080
Hello, all of you. Hi. How are you doing? My name is Venus.

770
01:14:49,080 --> 01:14:52,080
It is an honor to meet you all. Hi. How are you doing?

771
01:14:52,080 --> 01:14:56,080
You are founder Theory-Act, correct?

772
01:14:56,080 --> 01:14:57,080
That is correct.

773
01:14:57,080 --> 01:14:59,080
Hello, Venus. It's a pleasure.

774
01:14:59,080 --> 01:15:01,080
Oh, it is an absolute honor.

775
01:15:01,080 --> 01:15:03,080
I'm so glad that we were able to meet.

776
01:15:03,080 --> 01:15:08,080
I'm so glad that you are here, especially for now. It's a big show for me tonight. I'm excited about it.

777
01:15:08,080 --> 01:15:12,080
Hello, all. Hello. Hello.

778
01:15:12,080 --> 01:15:14,080
She turns and looks at Sky.

779
01:15:14,080 --> 01:15:18,080
Aren't you just darling? You are very nice looking.

780
01:15:18,080 --> 01:15:23,080
I mean, you've got a little scuff, but you look nice. It's good. I like the hair. Nice.

781
01:15:23,080 --> 01:15:26,080
A little scuff adds personality.

782
01:15:26,080 --> 01:15:27,080
I'm sure.

783
01:15:27,080 --> 01:15:41,080
Space God, when Aphrodite was talking to Theory-Act earlier, they said to not mention Sky as a superstar in front of Venus, as if Sky was not in the room.

784
01:15:41,080 --> 01:15:43,080
Did Sky hear that conversation?

785
01:15:43,080 --> 01:15:46,080
Probably would have. Yeah, it was a small car.

786
01:15:46,080 --> 01:15:48,080
Theory-Act would have related to you at least.

787
01:15:48,080 --> 01:15:49,080
Yeah, there you go.

788
01:15:49,080 --> 01:15:57,080
Because Theory-Act wouldn't want you to be up a stream in this conversation. Caught unawares.

789
01:15:57,080 --> 01:16:04,080
The very muscle bound man, shaved head, looks at you and is like, what's up? Should I have seen the other guy?

790
01:16:04,080 --> 01:16:09,080
Yeah, what's up? It gives you a fist bump. Yeah, how's it going? Venus? It's nice to see you.

791
01:16:09,080 --> 01:16:14,080
That's fucking sick, by the way. Points to his arm. Fucking horns. That's cool as fuck.

792
01:16:14,080 --> 01:16:19,080
It's nice actually. Right, let's-

793
01:16:19,080 --> 01:16:22,080
Azam responds with, it's just a slight nod. That's it.

794
01:16:22,080 --> 01:16:26,080
Are we all here now? Can we start so we can just get it done?

795
01:16:26,080 --> 01:16:28,080
Yes, of course, we should. Okay.

796
01:16:28,080 --> 01:16:33,080
Founder, you and your entourage can be behind us. You can come out. It's quite exciting.

797
01:16:33,080 --> 01:16:43,080
Aphrodite turns to him and is like, I don't do any of the talking. As you can tell, this is more Venus's air of expertise, but you can stand with us. That's okay.

798
01:16:43,080 --> 01:16:45,080
My eyes.

799
01:16:45,080 --> 01:16:52,080
Yeah, that sound.

800
01:16:52,080 --> 01:17:08,080
As silence meets the outside, she walks out of the curtain. And there is like an eruption of cheers and excitement as she steps out.

801
01:17:08,080 --> 01:17:20,080
It's such an honor to be here with you all. Of course, as we do every month, we have the other directors here. However, we do have some people who are really very close to my heart and I'm very excited for you all to meet.

802
01:17:20,080 --> 01:17:33,080
We have the founder of a place outside called Wild Times, a friend of ours. We go very far back. I love them very dearly. Come on stage, come on!

803
01:17:33,080 --> 01:17:46,080
Go on, Thiriak, get on stage! As Aphrodite and Adonis both walk on Samson and some of these wellness offices, kind of push all of you on stage. Just to stand behind.

804
01:17:46,080 --> 01:17:48,080
No, we're just the entourage!

805
01:17:48,080 --> 01:17:49,080
Everyone.

806
01:17:49,080 --> 01:17:52,080
Can I roll an athletics check not to be pushed on stage?

807
01:17:52,080 --> 01:17:53,080
Sure!

808
01:17:53,080 --> 01:17:56,080
Can I literally try to slip away?

809
01:17:56,080 --> 01:17:57,080
Yeah, absolutely you can.

810
01:17:57,080 --> 01:18:08,080
I know Thiriak's a plant. Thiriak has never in their life wanted to have actual roots stuck in the ground more than this much.

811
01:18:08,080 --> 01:18:19,080
Anyone who wants to slip can make... give me just a reflex save. And that would be very easy for entourage to slip out. Very easy for entourage to slip out. Thiriak, if you would like to slip out, you can.

812
01:18:19,080 --> 01:18:23,080
No, I think Thiriak is... it's not gonna happen with Thiriak.

813
01:18:23,080 --> 01:18:29,080
Before you make that roll, Dillon, you're gonna get a plus two to that roll.

814
01:18:29,080 --> 01:18:32,080
Thank you. That will give me a 21.

815
01:18:32,080 --> 01:18:36,080
And I will have just an 18.

816
01:18:36,080 --> 01:18:48,080
I did roll, but then realized, what am I doing? Skye loves attention, so I think she'd be like, oh, oh no, stop pushing! I couldn't possibly!

817
01:18:48,080 --> 01:19:05,080
It's less like hard pushing and more, okay, we're moving on stage now. Yeah, just like, okay, we're all going out. Because to get a picture where they put you on, there is this quite large stage where these announcements and, you know, this sermon is about to take place.

818
01:19:05,080 --> 01:19:20,080
Venus is up next to a microphone. Adonis and Aphrodite are flanking either side of her, but are like a few steps back. And all of you are like lined up with the wellness officers right at the back of the stage.

819
01:19:20,080 --> 01:19:23,080
I'm gonna do some crowd work. How's everybody doing tonight?

820
01:19:23,080 --> 01:19:31,080
You are immediately shut down. As soon as you go to say something, your hand is quite forcefully grabbed by Samson next to you and pulled down.

821
01:19:31,080 --> 01:19:37,080
If any words leave your mouth, you get a very angry look from Venus, who immediately turns around.

822
01:19:37,080 --> 01:19:42,080
Play it cool, play it cool, play it cool, play it cool. Wonderful! Look at that, we have another entertainer on the stage.

823
01:19:42,080 --> 01:19:52,080
Oh no! I'm not an entertainer, I'm just an attention seeker. You can't put the theater kids together, they'll kill each other.

824
01:19:52,080 --> 01:20:02,080
Did Ige and Ige manage to escape? You do, sorry, my apologies, both of you are able, you like, you sidestep to the side and they don't bother to rope you back in.

825
01:20:02,080 --> 01:20:07,080
Yeah, I see like Ige is about to get caught. I'm like, wait, hold on. And I just quickly like grab her and pull her aside.

826
01:20:07,080 --> 01:20:22,080
Samson walks past you, so you two are in the back room. There is a small hard light screen that is showing it as you can see what's going on. It's the same one that's made of the little balls that are moving around the heated things.

827
01:20:22,080 --> 01:20:27,080
So you can see from kind of rotating flying camera angle what's going on.

828
01:20:27,080 --> 01:20:34,080
Ige's instinct is to look and see if there's like a wing or like corridor someplace small, dark.

829
01:20:34,080 --> 01:20:44,080
Yeah. Do you want to watch from the crowd? Not necessarily from the crowd. Can I watch from like the side? Like the wings of the stage, like behind curtains?

830
01:20:44,080 --> 01:20:52,080
Okay, that's where Ige is going and we'll tugs Azam if he will come.

831
01:20:52,080 --> 01:20:57,080
No, no, please sit down. The crowd quiets.

832
01:20:57,080 --> 01:21:02,080
The only sound is like this slight hovering of a camera.

833
01:21:02,080 --> 01:21:12,080
We, all of us, are down here for our own safety, well-being.

834
01:21:12,080 --> 01:21:25,080
Down here we are not shackled by the cruelty that meets us on the outside. We are not shackled by money. We are not shackled by time.

835
01:21:25,080 --> 01:21:35,080
We are free. Free as people. And we are forever.

836
01:21:35,080 --> 01:21:44,080
We are beautiful and unrestricted. Out there we have little.

837
01:21:44,080 --> 01:21:54,080
They are so burdened with capital. They are so burdened with trading and brutality. Your labor is bought and sold.

838
01:21:54,080 --> 01:22:06,080
Just as freely as we would be hated. Our humanity ripped from us by needing to work.

839
01:22:06,080 --> 01:22:20,080
Here, with us all, we are safe. The city keeps us safe. The light keeps us from needing food, water. We are always fed here.

840
01:22:20,080 --> 01:22:31,080
The light always keeps us warm. Always, always keeps us beautiful. We are always alive.

841
01:22:31,080 --> 01:22:36,080
Thank you, light. Thank you, light. Thank you, light. Thank you, light. Fuck the light!

842
01:22:36,080 --> 01:22:48,080
A round metal contraption is thrown at Venus's feet. Samson quick charge storms to her. He raises his arm and this hololite shield builds itself in front of her.

843
01:22:48,080 --> 01:22:58,080
And this shrapnel explodes. These huge shards of metal dig themselves into this hololite shield he has built. Another member of the crowd throws another grenade.

844
01:22:58,080 --> 01:23:09,080
This hololite shield rebuilds back into Samson's arm. He pulls a small hand cannon and as he pulls it he shoots this bolt of energy that grabs the grenade.

845
01:23:09,080 --> 01:23:17,080
He whips it around his head and throws it back into the crowd toward the person who threw it and blows up.

846
01:23:17,080 --> 01:23:33,080
People start screaming and running out as five or six people get up and they all unveil their robes. They seem old. So, so old.

847
01:23:33,080 --> 01:23:42,080
Their skin almost completely sagged off of their face. Some of them are far taller than people. They have holes in their chests.

848
01:23:42,080 --> 01:23:52,080
Some arms are replaced. Some cut in half and are now almost acting like two arms in one. They are pulling out weapons and they start firing on the stage.

849
01:23:52,080 --> 01:24:06,080
The other wellness officers immediately act, get up and the shield builds on each of them. These really nice well-dressed suits get covered in this hard light armor.

850
01:24:06,080 --> 01:24:17,080
They pull longswords out which again build themselves up in this hard light. As they stand and prepare to attack they look like paladins.

851
01:24:17,080 --> 01:24:26,080
They look like heroes. Strong, handsome heroes. In this light they look incredible.

852
01:24:26,080 --> 01:24:39,080
Venus yelps and screams making a very big deal of what has just happened. Very audibly scared is covered by a wellness officer with a shield as she is ferried out.

853
01:24:39,080 --> 01:24:46,080
Adonis starts yelling for a gun. Someone throws him a rifle and he grabs it. There's this small...

854
01:24:46,080 --> 01:24:58,080
And then he fires off and hits one of these members which is firing at them. He then runs out of the side corridor. Aphrodite, very calm, turns heel and walks.

855
01:24:58,080 --> 01:25:00,080
No expression on her face.

856
01:25:00,080 --> 01:25:06,080
Can I cut a rope and just have a curtain cover the stage to allow everyone to exit? Shielding them from view?

857
01:25:06,080 --> 01:25:18,080
As Azam you cut this rope, all of the other pedestrians got out fine. Aphrodite, Adonis, Venus have all fled as they were leaving.

858
01:25:18,080 --> 01:25:26,080
Aphrodite looks towards the air and is like, okay come on, it's time to go. I'm going to give everyone a choice.

859
01:25:26,080 --> 01:25:34,080
We can all roll initiative if people want to get into the fight or you can choose to escape and you will just walk away.

860
01:25:34,080 --> 01:25:38,080
First of all, oh my god.

861
01:25:38,080 --> 01:25:40,080
No, it's fine.

862
01:25:40,080 --> 01:25:49,080
Second, what's everybody thinking? Because Theriak's got thoughts and I have thoughts and they are very different.

863
01:25:49,080 --> 01:26:01,080
I have thoughts too but I'm not sure. Okay, so Axe with Azam, obviously I would be very worried about Theriak and would want to make sure they're okay.

864
01:26:01,080 --> 01:26:09,080
But something about, we just spent this whole lunch with all of these questions about this place and all of these worries.

865
01:26:09,080 --> 01:26:17,080
And those people with those hoods on feel like they know the answers.

866
01:26:17,080 --> 01:26:31,080
I saw that and was instantly like, oh this is, they know what the missing pieces to this place are.

867
01:26:31,080 --> 01:26:46,080
I don't know that I want us to get into this particular fight because from an Ike's perspective, she's still unsure who she should be fighting with.

868
01:26:46,080 --> 01:26:50,080
So I don't know that she would want to jump in at all.

869
01:26:50,080 --> 01:27:05,080
I think Ike is going to, like just whatever, maybe the person that said fuck the light if she can figure that out somehow or just any one of them if not.

870
01:27:05,080 --> 01:27:10,080
It is all of them. They are all clearly, you're clearly against this.

871
01:27:10,080 --> 01:27:22,080
She's going to send a message telepathically. What does that mean? What does it mean? Fuck the light. We're new here and we're terrified of this place.

872
01:27:22,080 --> 01:27:32,080
You, just through hearing their voice, you can kind of like, you connect directly to the person and you know this.

873
01:27:32,080 --> 01:27:47,080
And there is this gurgled screaming of pain that you hear back. And as you look amongst the crowd, you see the person who you asked this question.

874
01:27:47,080 --> 01:28:00,080
After the wellness officers moved in, there is nothing of them below the chest.

875
01:28:00,080 --> 01:28:11,080
There is a huge piece of shrapnel that is like in one part of their head and out the other. You can see it fully has pierced through them.

876
01:28:11,080 --> 01:28:21,080
By every single account, there is not technology alive that would dictate that this person still lives.

877
01:28:21,080 --> 01:28:31,080
They are dead in every single regard. They are on the ground and you hear this screaming from them.

878
01:28:31,080 --> 01:28:40,080
And you see their mouth move and their eyes blink, their arms slowly attempting to pull themselves away from this fight.

879
01:28:40,080 --> 01:28:47,080
Regardless of the damage that has happened to their body, they are still alive.

880
01:28:47,080 --> 01:28:53,080
And there is this tone. And then you hear Venus' voice.

881
01:28:53,080 --> 01:29:08,080
Remember, beauty is only skin deep, but death is forever. If you or someone you love is thinking of dying, please refer them to a confidence expert.

882
01:29:08,080 --> 01:29:16,080
Remember, you can be anything in New Moors, so why not live? Be beautiful.

883
01:29:16,080 --> 01:29:26,080
And there is this puzzle piece that clicks in your mind. You've discussed the Baron, how he said he couldn't die, how New Moors did this to him.

884
01:29:26,080 --> 01:29:32,080
All these references to alive and being alive and living forever and forever being beautiful.

885
01:29:32,080 --> 01:29:44,080
And you piece it together in this moment that this light, whatever it is, giving immortality is not the only thing it's doing.

886
01:29:44,080 --> 01:29:55,080
Through any means of effort or pain upon your person, every single person in New Moors is forced to be alive.

887
01:30:14,080 --> 01:30:24,080
Hello beautiful, wonderful people. How are you all doing? Thank you so much for listening to The Atomless.

888
01:30:24,080 --> 01:30:28,080
How are you doing? I hope you are doing well. Thank you so much for listening to our little spooky arc.

889
01:30:28,080 --> 01:30:33,080
I know that that ending was very intense. I hope you are well. I appreciate you.

890
01:30:33,080 --> 01:30:37,080
I would like to give a few quick thank yous before I shout out the players.

891
01:30:37,080 --> 01:30:48,080
I would like to shout out Anna, Bex, Daniel Deruda, Don Hughes, Doofingus, Mary, Meeba, Sunny420. You are the real heroes.

892
01:30:48,080 --> 01:30:51,080
Thank you so much for supporting the Patchwork.

893
01:30:51,080 --> 01:31:01,080
And if you would like to join the Patchwork support tier, you can go onto our Patreon and get a little cheeky little shout out like I just did right there for my beautiful souls.

894
01:31:01,080 --> 01:31:10,080
Our beautiful little Patchwork maintenance officers. Every tier has a little extra content so you don't necessarily need to join at that level.

895
01:31:10,080 --> 01:31:18,080
And we all have such wonderful things such as a wild time sticker for Andre and a little discord where you can join and chat to our crew.

896
01:31:18,080 --> 01:31:28,080
And what a crew it is, eh? Our music today. I love these bits because I can just go completely off script because no one ever listens this far.

897
01:31:28,080 --> 01:31:33,080
Our music today was provided by Artlist under their fair use license. Thank you, Artlist.

898
01:31:33,080 --> 01:31:41,080
If you would like to listen to this show before all the music is added in and being able to see our beautiful faces,

899
01:31:41,080 --> 01:31:51,080
then you can go on over to the Adamus YouTube channel for all of the AP videos as well as little edited clips and animatics, which is an extremely very, very cool thing.

900
01:31:51,080 --> 01:32:01,080
And if you would like to watch this live when episodes come out normally a week before, sometimes a little bit before.

901
01:32:01,080 --> 01:32:08,080
But if you'd like to go see that, that is Patchwork Productions on Twitch. That's a new little home.

902
01:32:08,080 --> 01:32:18,080
And hey, do you want merch? If you've been here this far, then you know we've teamed up with a familiar shop, Baby, to make some Atlas Abstemis themed soaps, baby!

Everyone collaborates to make a soap based around that character. We've got Sky, which is strawberry, Azam, which is bonfire and incense.

904
01:32:25,080 --> 01:32:34,080
Mmm, Ike, which is cotton candy. Theiriak, again, unfortunately, is not garlic, even though I really wanted that to be, but it is eucalypts and bergamot.

905
01:32:34,080 --> 01:32:40,080
And unfortunately, it is extremely good, so I can't get them to change it, which I will always be sad about.

906
01:32:40,080 --> 01:32:48,080
But that is the familiar shop on Etsy to do that. Our players today! Beautiful, wonderful Momobrian playing Sky,

907
01:32:48,080 --> 01:32:56,080
Superdillon playing Ike, normally Kadir, who is werewolf feels on socials, plays Azam, and also did our intro today. We appreciate that.

908
01:32:56,080 --> 01:33:07,080
Andre Vera, our wonderful little garlic scientist, founder, Theiriak, and me. Not Matthew Egberg.

909
01:33:07,080 --> 01:33:14,080
If you follow me on Twitter and socials, you'll know that I'm going through a little bit of a name change. Matt never fit me.

910
01:33:14,080 --> 01:33:21,080
So I'm going by Robin now. Oh, Robin. Not stealing, Robin. Delicious.

911
01:33:21,080 --> 01:33:27,080
Because we've recorded this episode so far in advance, you will hear some people call me Matt.

912
01:33:27,080 --> 01:33:33,080
Today you have, in this edit, Moe calls me Matt. It's fine. I care so little.

913
01:33:33,080 --> 01:33:38,080
I've been using this name for a few months and we haven't recorded for a few months.

914
01:33:38,080 --> 01:33:42,080
So I haven't edited an episode for a few months is what I mean. So there you go.

915
01:33:42,080 --> 01:33:46,080
Anyway, CaptainKrayle on all things. I voice all the pew pews.

916
01:33:46,080 --> 01:33:53,080
Thank y'all for listening. I give you all a kiss. Please go tell me your thoughts on our Discord.

917
01:33:53,080 --> 01:34:02,080
Or on Twitter, go say, hey, Robin, I thought blank. And then fill out the blank. Don't say, I thought blank, because that's no good.

918
01:34:02,080 --> 01:34:09,080
If you have any art of the show, you should first tag us on Twitter and then hashtag the Artemless.

919
01:34:09,080 --> 01:34:15,080
Because I still check that tag, maybe, because I think that shit is the funniest thing around.

920
01:34:15,080 --> 01:34:25,080
Do that. And I pretty much so much. I hope the next time we fly through the Artemless, see that you are there to fly with us.

921
01:34:25,080 --> 01:34:32,080
Buh-juh-buh-juh-buh-juh-buh-juh-buh.

922
01:35:25,080 --> 01:35:32,080
Thank you.
