1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:03,000
Previously on the Atomless

2
00:00:03,000 --> 00:00:04,000
Azan, he-

3
00:00:04,000 --> 00:00:06,000
Oik, she-

4
00:00:06,000 --> 00:00:07,000
Uh, my name is Theoriak

5
00:00:07,000 --> 00:00:11,000
What's up? My name's Sky, welcome to the patchwork, my dudes!

6
00:00:11,000 --> 00:00:13,000
More research regarding the crystal-

7
00:00:13,000 --> 00:00:18,000
Bad stuff happens to good people all the time

8
00:00:18,000 --> 00:00:21,000
Uh, we have a spaceport, Helium, it's a comedy club

9
00:00:21,000 --> 00:00:28,000
Uh, you see four people wearing this heavy green armor

10
00:00:28,000 --> 00:00:30,000
These people are Heth

11
00:00:30,000 --> 00:00:32,000
And you notice there's a lot of things missing

12
00:00:32,000 --> 00:00:34,000
And one of the things-

13
00:00:34,000 --> 00:00:35,000
No!

14
00:00:35,000 --> 00:00:36,000
Is the crystal

15
00:00:36,000 --> 00:00:38,000
You see two figures

16
00:00:38,000 --> 00:00:43,000
A large, middle-aged looking Velka

17
00:00:43,000 --> 00:00:52,000
And they're talking to a 19 kid with this like, tousled hair, goggles on, light leather jacket

18
00:00:52,000 --> 00:00:58,000
And these like, slightly bulky, like brown boots

19
00:00:58,000 --> 00:01:02,000
Sky and Theoriak, you recognize this teenager

20
00:01:02,000 --> 00:01:06,000
Whose large boots have collapsed in to make roller skates

21
00:01:06,000 --> 00:01:09,000
And they are pounding towards you

22
00:01:09,000 --> 00:01:14,000
As you pull out the gun, they jump and throw this like, tiny like, flashbang

23
00:01:14,000 --> 00:01:18,000
This little skittermander throws the crystal up and they grab the crystal

24
00:01:18,000 --> 00:01:25,000
Heavy footsteps that now you clock that you've been hearing since that grenade explosion went off

25
00:01:25,000 --> 00:01:33,000
As you see four Heth guards running out, full armor, these like, large laser rifles

26
00:01:33,000 --> 00:01:35,000
Everybody stop! Put your hands on your heads!

27
00:01:35,000 --> 00:01:37,000
That is ten damage

28
00:01:37,000 --> 00:01:38,000
His arm's knocked out

29
00:01:38,000 --> 00:01:40,000
Whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa!

30
00:01:40,000 --> 00:01:42,000
Hands up! I'm sorry!

31
00:01:42,000 --> 00:01:47,000
We were attacked and now we were shot by you!

32
00:01:47,000 --> 00:01:53,000
And sees all of these different individuals like, standing up against the Heth

33
00:01:53,000 --> 00:01:56,000
And Theoriak will do nothing

34
00:01:56,000 --> 00:01:58,000
And just continue to hide

35
00:01:58,000 --> 00:02:01,000
And puts their arm in and picks up the crystal

36
00:02:01,000 --> 00:02:03,000
Seems like they were fighting over this

37
00:02:03,000 --> 00:02:05,000
Let's get them aboard

38
00:02:05,000 --> 00:02:08,000
Doesn't this guy look like Captain Melis?

39
00:02:08,000 --> 00:02:10,000
And then, dish, dish!

40
00:02:10,000 --> 00:02:17,000
As Sky and Eig are both hit, knocked out

41
00:02:28,000 --> 00:02:33,000
We think about the sky

42
00:02:33,000 --> 00:02:37,000
We think about the stars

43
00:02:37,000 --> 00:02:42,000
We think about the planets and the dreams of the people that live on them

44
00:02:42,000 --> 00:02:47,000
But what about the space between?

45
00:02:47,000 --> 00:02:51,000
The cold, unmoving cruelty

46
00:02:51,000 --> 00:02:55,000
That has no choice but to be cruel

47
00:02:55,000 --> 00:02:58,000
Do you think it means to be cold?

48
00:02:58,000 --> 00:03:03,000
Putting itself as the villain so the stars seem more beautiful?

49
00:03:03,000 --> 00:03:06,000
Or do you think it screams to be wanted?

50
00:03:06,000 --> 00:03:10,000
Arguing with the space filled to be noticed

51
00:03:10,000 --> 00:03:15,000
Not to be flown over looking for the horizon but to be sat in

52
00:03:15,000 --> 00:03:19,000
And understood as the darkness that lingers

53
00:03:19,000 --> 00:03:25,000
Uninteresting, but there, the set dressing of the forgotten

54
00:03:25,000 --> 00:03:30,000
If it wasn't there at all, do you think people would notice?

55
00:03:30,000 --> 00:03:33,000
Notice that the darkness had upped and gone?

56
00:03:33,000 --> 00:03:38,000
Do you think the colours of the sky would now seem too bright?

57
00:03:38,000 --> 00:03:42,000
Too overwhelming?

58
00:03:46,000 --> 00:03:48,000
Azzam

59
00:03:48,000 --> 00:03:53,000
Streaks of light shoot through the atmosphere of Irim

60
00:03:53,000 --> 00:03:59,000
Comets crash into the surface, spraying nearby houses in molten rock

61
00:03:59,000 --> 00:04:05,000
Young Ifrit play and splash in the lava, laughing, playing games

62
00:04:05,000 --> 00:04:08,000
This small village is quieter than most

63
00:04:08,000 --> 00:04:13,000
A cert energy factory planned to open, but the resistance broke their plans

64
00:04:13,000 --> 00:04:15,000
And they have yet to retaliate

65
00:04:15,000 --> 00:04:20,000
So for now, you sit, watching the laughter

66
00:04:20,000 --> 00:04:23,000
You feel a presence beside you

67
00:04:23,000 --> 00:04:26,000
You turn to see a young Ifrit

68
00:04:26,000 --> 00:04:32,000
Curled ram-horned skin bright almost blue with flame

69
00:04:32,000 --> 00:04:35,000
You see M'lise

70
00:04:38,000 --> 00:04:40,000
Has his seat taken?

71
00:04:40,000 --> 00:04:44,000
Err no, it's not

72
00:04:47,000 --> 00:04:55,000
They hand you a small pottery cup with a drink in it

73
00:04:55,000 --> 00:04:59,000
Have one themselves and they sit next to you

74
00:04:59,000 --> 00:05:04,000
It's nice, you did a good job

75
00:05:04,000 --> 00:05:10,000
For now, things are going to change and are going to change soon

76
00:05:10,000 --> 00:05:12,000
Let's just know it somehow

77
00:05:12,000 --> 00:05:14,000
I'm a little nervous myself but

78
00:05:14,000 --> 00:05:16,000
Oh don't worry

79
00:05:16,000 --> 00:05:20,000
It's you and I

80
00:05:20,000 --> 00:05:21,000
What's the worst that could happen?

81
00:05:21,000 --> 00:05:25,000
We have done nothing but win recently

82
00:05:25,000 --> 00:05:28,000
We got a good team

83
00:05:28,000 --> 00:05:30,000
They're on the back foot

84
00:05:30,000 --> 00:05:34,000
They've, cert have retreated from almost everywhere

85
00:05:34,000 --> 00:05:36,000
They hear us coming and they leave

86
00:05:36,000 --> 00:05:37,000
I don't want to talk about it

87
00:05:37,000 --> 00:05:41,000
I mean, we'll need to talk about it but I

88
00:05:45,000 --> 00:05:48,000
I appointed the children

89
00:05:48,000 --> 00:05:52,000
Do you, I

90
00:05:52,000 --> 00:05:54,000
How many do you want?

91
00:05:54,000 --> 00:05:57,000
None? Four?

92
00:05:57,000 --> 00:06:08,000
I mean if we could just go into a cave and mine until it was completely empty I would happily do that but I feel like

93
00:06:08,000 --> 00:06:10,000
It's a bit much

94
00:06:10,000 --> 00:06:11,000
Yeah

95
00:06:11,000 --> 00:06:13,000
We still have to raise them

96
00:06:13,000 --> 00:06:15,000
That's the bit I'm looking forward to

97
00:06:15,000 --> 00:06:24,000
I'm forward to the awkward middle stages and going to the preschools and teaching and

98
00:06:24,000 --> 00:06:27,000
That's what I wanted to be before this

99
00:06:27,000 --> 00:06:35,000
You can bake bread, I can walk into class and teach the next generation

100
00:06:35,000 --> 00:06:38,000
What happened to us?

101
00:06:38,000 --> 00:06:44,000
We used to have actually easily reachable goals, you know?

102
00:06:44,000 --> 00:06:53,000
Well, I don't know about your baking skills but I'm a good teacher, I can teach these kids

103
00:06:53,000 --> 00:06:57,000
Well, yeah, yeah, I know, it's just my expectations of life have changed

104
00:06:57,000 --> 00:07:00,000
I'm hoping for to walk on the sun

105
00:07:00,000 --> 00:07:04,000
Hmm, I have heard a lot of people walking on the sun

106
00:07:04,000 --> 00:07:07,000
I can't even make things up

107
00:07:07,000 --> 00:07:11,000
Some part of me is scared that we're never going to have that, you know?

108
00:07:11,000 --> 00:07:17,000
All I want is to settle down and start a proper life

109
00:07:17,000 --> 00:07:23,000
I've wanted that since I was a kid and now I don't know how long I'm going to have to keep on going

110
00:07:23,000 --> 00:07:26,000
I want to have all of this before I just crumble

111
00:07:26,000 --> 00:07:29,000
I mean, look at me, I'm already getting way too old

112
00:07:29,000 --> 00:07:31,000
You can see it on the knuckles

113
00:07:31,000 --> 00:07:34,000
They chuckle and they put a hand on your leg

114
00:07:34,000 --> 00:07:42,000
We live a really long time, even if we started our journey in two, three hundred years

115
00:07:42,000 --> 00:07:50,000
We'll still have a couple to forge a sun or whatever it is you want to do

116
00:07:50,000 --> 00:07:58,000
It's only if this planet stays whole, the further we get, the less lasting we get, you know?

117
00:07:58,000 --> 00:08:01,000
Or at least that's what the rumours say

118
00:08:01,000 --> 00:08:11,000
I haven't seen an Ifrit older than two centuries and, well, ten years since grandma died

119
00:08:11,000 --> 00:08:14,000
You're right, I should stop talking about it

120
00:08:14,000 --> 00:08:19,000
So, kids, at least enough to litter a whole new planet

121
00:08:19,000 --> 00:08:21,000
Got it

122
00:08:21,000 --> 00:08:23,000
Hmm

123
00:08:23,000 --> 00:08:27,000
Wedding, gonna do one?

124
00:08:27,000 --> 00:08:30,000
Oh, I know, it depends

125
00:08:30,000 --> 00:08:32,000
I'm not sure what you're talking about

126
00:08:32,000 --> 00:08:36,000
Hey, listen, it depends who wants to do that with me

127
00:08:36,000 --> 00:08:37,000
That's a...

128
00:08:37,000 --> 00:08:39,000
You keep your arms open, yeah?

129
00:08:39,000 --> 00:08:44,000
Yeah, it's a big ask and I don't know if anyone can handle me, really

130
00:08:44,000 --> 00:08:47,000
Well, we could always get a third if you'd like

131
00:08:47,000 --> 00:08:50,000
If you're really unsure about me being enough

132
00:08:50,000 --> 00:08:53,000
Oh, are you asking?

133
00:08:53,000 --> 00:08:55,000
Is that supposed to be fun?

134
00:08:55,000 --> 00:08:57,000
Is this a thing?

135
00:08:57,000 --> 00:09:00,000
I didn't realise this was a thing, I thought we were just...

136
00:09:00,000 --> 00:09:02,000
Oh my god, this is so embarrassing for you

137
00:09:02,000 --> 00:09:04,000
Oh, fuck off

138
00:09:04,000 --> 00:09:08,000
All I do is for you

139
00:09:08,000 --> 00:09:12,000
I mean, no, all I do is for, you know, our planet, people

140
00:09:12,000 --> 00:09:15,000
But no, who I am, that's for you

141
00:09:15,000 --> 00:09:17,000
I want to be worthy of you, you know?

142
00:09:17,000 --> 00:09:21,000
This takes a lot more effort than I think most people know, you know?

143
00:09:21,000 --> 00:09:26,000
The shaving, all the time, you know, this thing grows back like weeds

144
00:09:26,000 --> 00:09:28,000
Now I can tell

145
00:09:28,000 --> 00:09:30,000
You'd probably hate me with a beard

146
00:09:30,000 --> 00:09:34,000
I don't know, I think you'd look good no matter what you go with

147
00:09:34,000 --> 00:09:38,000
A beard, get that, you know, older, sophisticated look, I think that could work

148
00:09:38,000 --> 00:09:42,000
Oh, so you think I look good right now is what you're saying

149
00:09:42,000 --> 00:09:46,000
I don't like you putting words in my mouth, but yeah

150
00:09:46,000 --> 00:09:50,000
Well, would you prefer I put something else?

151
00:09:50,000 --> 00:09:53,000
There are children so close to us

152
00:09:53,000 --> 00:09:55,000
Oh my god, you're so inappropriate

153
00:09:55,000 --> 00:10:01,000
I'm suggesting that I give you some more of this drink, asshole

154
00:10:01,000 --> 00:10:04,000
Yeah, I'm down for another drink

155
00:10:04,000 --> 00:10:06,000
Yeah, hold on, my turn

156
00:10:06,000 --> 00:10:12,000
I get up, like after a beat, to go refill our little cups

157
00:10:12,000 --> 00:10:21,000
You know something, if we don't get any of this, we don't get, you know, marriage of kids

158
00:10:21,000 --> 00:10:25,000
Still would have been all worth it, you and me

159
00:10:25,000 --> 00:10:28,000
Oh, unquestionably so

160
00:10:28,000 --> 00:10:32,000
You remember way back when, when you were still figuring out what shape you wanted to be

161
00:10:32,000 --> 00:10:41,000
And I was still binding my horns, when we talked about leaving together, starting off somewhere new

162
00:10:41,000 --> 00:10:43,000
Hmm, I remember

163
00:10:43,000 --> 00:10:51,000
It's pretty ironic that somehow we end up not only stuck where we've been forever, but fighting for it too

164
00:10:51,000 --> 00:10:54,000
I don't think that's that strange

165
00:10:54,000 --> 00:10:57,000
We're fighters, we love what we love

166
00:10:57,000 --> 00:11:02,000
Oh no, you're a fighter, I'm just here to impress you

167
00:11:02,000 --> 00:11:04,000
Oh, is that it? That makes sense

168
00:11:04,000 --> 00:11:09,000
You can't let anyone know, it's my secret

169
00:11:09,000 --> 00:11:16,000
I'm less fighting for the planet and more us, the people, you know

170
00:11:16,000 --> 00:11:18,000
That's what I'm here for

171
00:11:18,000 --> 00:11:26,000
We could still up sticks and move, that's what, you know, my grandfather did, your grandfather did

172
00:11:26,000 --> 00:11:34,000
And the planet cools, we leave, I mean these people are trying to cool it before it's time, that's what I'm fighting back for

173
00:11:34,000 --> 00:11:42,000
Okay, let's say all rumors are true, right? And our great grandparents and great great grandparents came from some other planet, somewhere far away

174
00:11:42,000 --> 00:11:46,000
And we keep doing this over and over and over again

175
00:11:46,000 --> 00:11:56,000
Right, what do we do if a planet's cold, no place to go to? What then?

176
00:11:56,000 --> 00:12:02,000
Well we do your dream, forge a sun

177
00:12:02,000 --> 00:12:05,000
My dream?

178
00:12:05,000 --> 00:12:09,000
You said you wanted to walk on the sun and...

179
00:12:09,000 --> 00:12:13,000
That was a joke, no people, no person can walk on a sun

180
00:12:13,000 --> 00:12:22,000
Maybe forge a sun, yes, but like one of those, you know, wants to figure out what gender it wants to be

181
00:12:22,000 --> 00:12:24,000
Oh, sun with an O, right

182
00:12:24,000 --> 00:12:30,000
I didn't, to be fair, I was not talking about actually walking on a child, I was joking about walking on...

183
00:12:30,000 --> 00:12:35,000
You do this, you willfully misunderstand

184
00:12:35,000 --> 00:12:42,000
You're just so easy to fluster, I love it, it's like nine tenths of the entertainment on this planet

185
00:12:42,000 --> 00:12:44,000
Oh, I'm easy to fluster

186
00:12:44,000 --> 00:12:45,000
Yeah

187
00:12:45,000 --> 00:12:54,000
Oh, I'm easy to fluster, well, in that case, I put one hand on their thigh and the other arm around their shoulders

188
00:12:54,000 --> 00:13:00,000
How are you feeling right now, hm? And I get closer

189
00:13:00,000 --> 00:13:02,000
You couldn't handle me

190
00:13:02,000 --> 00:13:11,000
Oh, I couldn't, you know, it's been a decade or two but I still burn a bit harder than you, I think

191
00:13:11,000 --> 00:13:15,000
Put that to the test if you want

192
00:13:15,000 --> 00:13:20,000
Tell me when, and then I straight up kiss them

193
00:13:20,000 --> 00:13:24,000
As you kiss them, we fade out

194
00:13:24,000 --> 00:13:31,000
The light gets brighter, doesn't change its shade of red

195
00:13:31,000 --> 00:13:36,000
The sun, Ike, isn't a feeling that you're used to

196
00:13:36,000 --> 00:13:44,000
You can count on one hand how many times you've seen the natural light of day, but here, right now, it's in abundance

197
00:13:44,000 --> 00:13:54,000
Fills the clean, hard room that you're sat in, papers are neatly stacked on a fake wooden table in this small office space

198
00:13:54,000 --> 00:14:00,000
The door to this room opens just enough to not hit the table and a man steps through

199
00:14:00,000 --> 00:14:13,000
He's clean shaven, pressed suit, red shirt, tie, slick brown hair, held in place by expensive product, a tint of electronic blue behind his eyes

200
00:14:13,000 --> 00:14:17,000
Hello there, I'm so sorry to keep you waiting

201
00:14:17,000 --> 00:14:21,000
My name is Mr. Highlock, but you can call me Quinn

202
00:14:21,000 --> 00:14:25,000
I hear that I'm lucky enough to have you interview to work with me

203
00:14:25,000 --> 00:14:36,000
I'm, I think I'm the lucky one, actually, thank you for giving me this opportunity

204
00:14:36,000 --> 00:14:41,000
I'm very hardworking and very dedicated

205
00:14:41,000 --> 00:14:50,000
I believe you, and honestly, I've read very little about, you know, your resume that you gave me, but you seem like a perfect fit

206
00:14:50,000 --> 00:14:52,000
I just want to run through some things

207
00:14:52,000 --> 00:15:01,000
This position has a lot of traveling involved, moving from the upper decks down to the lower decks

208
00:15:01,000 --> 00:15:04,000
Are you happy with doing that?

209
00:15:04,000 --> 00:15:15,000
Oh, quite, I move quite quickly, and I do already do so quite a lot, so that should be no problem at all

210
00:15:15,000 --> 00:15:25,000
You have no family down there that would miss you, which is this position, I'm not sure if you're aware, but it comes with an apartment a few blocks away

211
00:15:25,000 --> 00:15:32,000
And you don't have anyone who would be upset, anyone who you'd like to bring with you, or?

212
00:15:32,000 --> 00:15:47,000
I, I don't need to bring anyone with me, and I, no, there's no one who would miss me

213
00:15:47,000 --> 00:15:56,000
I find that quite doubtful, you seem so friendly, probably the friendliest little Yosuke I've ever met

214
00:15:56,000 --> 00:16:11,000
Well, that's, I've been told before that I'm quite nice, but it's, I appreciate that, you seem very nice yourself

215
00:16:11,000 --> 00:16:16,000
Well thank you, you'd be surprised how many people don't think that around here

216
00:16:16,000 --> 00:16:18,000
No

217
00:16:18,000 --> 00:16:23,000
I'm not one to put words in other people's mouths, so you can drop that

218
00:16:23,000 --> 00:16:32,000
Okay, okay, another question, I have a team of people, we all came up in this company together, so we've formed an inner circle of sorts

219
00:16:32,000 --> 00:16:39,000
So sometimes I'll have to move your responsibilities over to them, are you comfortable with working for a larger group of people, like a team?

220
00:16:39,000 --> 00:16:49,000
I prefer to work with more people actually, I don't really want to be, I work alright alone, but I work well on a team

221
00:16:49,000 --> 00:16:55,000
I would like to get to know more people, absolutely

222
00:16:55,000 --> 00:17:05,000
Okay, this is all great, this all sounds wonderful, I'm going to be honest with you, all the questions that I'm asking are all kind of, you know, these are all the questions that the company wants me to ask

223
00:17:05,000 --> 00:17:12,000
I have one question off the board, if that's okay, off the record as it were

224
00:17:12,000 --> 00:17:16,000
Yes, Mr, your last name

225
00:17:16,000 --> 00:17:20,000
Quinn, please, call me Quinn, it's okay, call me just Quinn

226
00:17:20,000 --> 00:17:22,000
Quinn, of course

227
00:17:22,000 --> 00:17:27,000
You said no one would miss you, why?

228
00:17:27,000 --> 00:17:55,000
Oh, um, I've been trying to make it to the upper decks for quite a while, this is of course the closest I've gotten, it's just that the family that I have don't quite care for that decision, so

229
00:17:55,000 --> 00:17:57,000
You have no friends?

230
00:17:57,000 --> 00:18:18,000
I've had friends, I'm sorry, I, mostly I have people that I do favors for or that I work for and as I've learned, that doesn't mean that they're your friends

231
00:18:18,000 --> 00:18:40,000
So, I don't really have friends that will notice when I'm not below anymore, so

232
00:18:40,000 --> 00:18:47,000
Well, seems like you have one friend now, sticks out the hand, welcome aboard

233
00:18:47,000 --> 00:19:01,000
Two little hands, two handshake, thank you Quinn, I promise you absolutely won't regret this, not in the slightest

234
00:19:01,000 --> 00:19:13,000
They smile and lead you out the room and as they do, Skye

235
00:19:13,000 --> 00:19:21,000
The luck-ridden rain pelts against you as you hobble through the lower deck streets

236
00:19:21,000 --> 00:19:28,000
Your broken leg has carried you this far but patrols are still searching for you

237
00:19:28,000 --> 00:19:33,000
Your blood-soaked hand is holding a piece of paper with a meeting place

238
00:19:33,000 --> 00:19:38,000
The words scrap and a number is scribbled in hurried font

239
00:19:38,000 --> 00:19:44,000
You follow the neon streets till you can see a hole in the mock sky

240
00:19:44,000 --> 00:19:52,000
Large mechs throw debris from the clean upper decks down into a broken pile in the lower decks

241
00:19:52,000 --> 00:20:03,000
You approach a large makeshift sign saying scrap scrapyard hanging above a gate

242
00:20:03,000 --> 00:20:11,000
A piece of paper taped to the gate says if you need me, no you don't, if it's an emergency it can wait

243
00:20:11,000 --> 00:20:15,000
And you are outside this gate

244
00:20:15,000 --> 00:20:18,000
May I describe Skye, please and thank you

245
00:20:18,000 --> 00:20:20,000
Absolutely you can, yeah

246
00:20:20,000 --> 00:20:25,000
This young girl is so neutral it's striking

247
00:20:25,000 --> 00:20:28,000
Dark black hair to her tense shoulders

248
00:20:28,000 --> 00:20:33,000
A grey flexible tracksuit that might be mistaken for some kind of uniform

249
00:20:33,000 --> 00:20:39,000
Emotionless eyes matched by a mouth stuck in a straight line

250
00:20:39,000 --> 00:20:43,000
An aura void of personality or humanity

251
00:20:43,000 --> 00:20:50,000
The skateboard on her back matches her color tone perfectly, grey and lifeless

252
00:20:50,000 --> 00:20:56,000
And I'd like to, if it's unlocked, walk right into scrap scrapyard, please and thank you

253
00:20:56,000 --> 00:21:09,000
You walk in, there are these idle hovering robots seemingly built by the scrap that surrounds them

254
00:21:09,000 --> 00:21:18,000
Pushing these pathways which stretch and circle like a maze all around the yard

255
00:21:18,000 --> 00:21:26,000
It doesn't take you very long to find a rusted old shack

256
00:21:26,000 --> 00:21:34,000
A small brown rat half of their face covered with metal plating

257
00:21:34,000 --> 00:21:40,000
A small antenna that blinks in tune with the machines around them

258
00:21:40,000 --> 00:21:53,000
They have a blowtorch that they're using to attach a large piece of scrap metal to this hollowed half built

259
00:21:53,000 --> 00:22:00,000
What looks like a ship as you approach they turn and pick up their goggles

260
00:22:00,000 --> 00:22:02,000
Ayyyy no no no no no

261
00:22:02,000 --> 00:22:05,000
I don't know what you're hearing but I'm not buying anything

262
00:22:05,000 --> 00:22:07,000
Hive sent me

263
00:22:07,000 --> 00:22:09,000
Are you scrap?

264
00:22:09,000 --> 00:22:11,000
Yeah

265
00:22:11,000 --> 00:22:19,000
I'm done with that life though, I'm not here, I paid my dues, I got out

266
00:22:19,000 --> 00:22:22,000
I'm trying to do that too

267
00:22:22,000 --> 00:22:25,000
Hive said you can get me a ride off of Saga

268
00:22:25,000 --> 00:22:27,000
Can you build a ship?

269
00:22:27,000 --> 00:22:29,000
Yeah

270
00:22:29,000 --> 00:22:32,000
What do you need, I can get it

271
00:22:32,000 --> 00:22:41,000
A like incredulous kind of fed up expression washes over them

272
00:22:41,000 --> 00:22:47,000
If you can find me at least four working flight engines

273
00:22:47,000 --> 00:22:56,000
It needs to house about four people that won't break up as soon as we enter the atmosphere then yeah sure I can take you

274
00:22:56,000 --> 00:22:59,000
I'll get you five

275
00:22:59,000 --> 00:23:05,000
What's your name?

276
00:23:05,000 --> 00:23:11,000
Skyscraper

277
00:23:11,000 --> 00:23:17,000
Scrapyard, it's nice to meet you

278
00:23:17,000 --> 00:23:21,000
How soon can we leave?

279
00:23:21,000 --> 00:23:25,000
As soon as you get me those five

280
00:23:25,000 --> 00:23:29,000
She leaves

281
00:23:35,000 --> 00:23:39,000
Theoriak, you hide behind boxes

282
00:23:39,000 --> 00:23:48,000
Four Heth throw out a stasis bubble and have carried away your friends

283
00:23:48,000 --> 00:23:59,000
They look at this large ship trinkets adorning a maiden head that the skittermanders flair and keelin ran into

284
00:23:59,000 --> 00:24:11,000
It tried to leave but the gravitational field that Skye started seems to be too powerful for them to fully get into any form of flight space

285
00:24:11,000 --> 00:24:14,000
So they have effectively been grounded

286
00:24:14,000 --> 00:24:24,000
The doors are locked solid and the Heth's weapons don't seem strong enough to get in so they stand around idly waiting to figure out a way of how to get in

287
00:24:24,000 --> 00:24:29,000
Is the Heth's attention solidly on that ship?

288
00:24:29,000 --> 00:24:41,000
Yes, one of them took the rest of the party away and they boarded what you can assume was the Heth ship that was in the docking port of Helium

289
00:24:41,000 --> 00:24:51,000
The other three, after some walking around and being a bit too alert, have now settled and are just kind of talking amongst themselves and staring at the ship completely away from you

290
00:24:51,000 --> 00:24:59,000
What Theoriak would like to do is sneak away and get Scrap

291
00:24:59,000 --> 00:25:08,000
You find it real easy to sneak away as the crates kind of follow the docking port to a point where you could just be walking around normally and no one would notice

292
00:25:08,000 --> 00:25:18,000
The size of how small you are actually is so beneficial in this area where you can kind of just walk normally and pretend that you were just walking normally this whole time

293
00:25:18,000 --> 00:25:31,000
As you cross past the entrance of Helium you see duct behind a door, a metal arm, a pistol that they're poorly trying to disguise almost shaking

294
00:25:31,000 --> 00:25:38,000
You see Scrap looking out at the ship and watching the event that's just happened

295
00:25:38,000 --> 00:25:41,000
Scrap doesn't seem to have noticed you yet though

296
00:25:41,000 --> 00:25:55,000
Theoriak is going to walk towards Scrap very casually but with a slight expression of, hey, so I guess you have seen that too?

297
00:25:55,000 --> 00:26:02,000
As you walk up Scrap locks eyes with you and is like, oh my god, I didn't see you there, I didn't know what happened to you

298
00:26:02,000 --> 00:26:04,000
Hold it, cool

299
00:26:04,000 --> 00:26:05,000
Okay?

300
00:26:05,000 --> 00:26:07,000
Alright, yeah

301
00:26:07,000 --> 00:26:23,000
So, what occurred? There was another ship that apparently pilfered the patchwork with a bunch of skittermander, some human teenage delinquent

302
00:26:23,000 --> 00:26:28,000
And some canid figure, I'm not exactly sure

303
00:26:28,000 --> 00:26:30,000
And they stole from us?

304
00:26:30,000 --> 00:26:36,000
They stole lots of things, but one of the things that they had stolen was the crystal

305
00:26:36,000 --> 00:26:37,000
Oh shit

306
00:26:37,000 --> 00:26:42,000
We were very determined to make sure that that specifically came back into our hands

307
00:26:42,000 --> 00:26:45,000
So there was a bit of a kerfuffle

308
00:26:45,000 --> 00:26:52,000
And after some threats were made it turned into an actual combat, a battle

309
00:26:52,000 --> 00:26:53,000
I heard that bit

310
00:26:53,000 --> 00:26:54,000
Yes

311
00:26:54,000 --> 00:27:01,000
There was an explosion of a small one, I assume it was a grenade, as soon as that happened those four sprinted out

312
00:27:01,000 --> 00:27:05,000
It was a flashbang from Skye, yes

313
00:27:05,000 --> 00:27:06,000
Jesus

314
00:27:06,000 --> 00:27:10,000
Or a smoke bomb, I don't quite remember, it was all of her

315
00:27:10,000 --> 00:27:12,000
Okay, where are they now?

316
00:27:12,000 --> 00:27:18,000
They have been taken in by the Heth, Azam was shot, unconscious, I have an idea

317
00:27:18,000 --> 00:27:21,000
Okay, Doc, you're the leader, what are we doing?

318
00:27:21,000 --> 00:27:27,000
So far, on all of our excursions, I have tried to remain as anonymous as possible

319
00:27:27,000 --> 00:27:34,000
I think now would be a time to use the power behind my name and my workplace to get them out

320
00:27:34,000 --> 00:27:36,000
Here is the story we are going to give

321
00:27:36,000 --> 00:27:46,000
You had given me, Dr. Theria, the opportunity to acquire the mollusks that we had found on Leviathan's Eye, which is true, yes?

322
00:27:46,000 --> 00:27:47,000
Yeah

323
00:27:47,000 --> 00:27:54,000
On that excursion was when we found the crystal, the crystal that seems to be an amalgamation of various things

324
00:27:54,000 --> 00:27:59,000
Which I wanted to bring back to Idun for further research

325
00:27:59,000 --> 00:28:07,000
In part due to your team's efforts and the acquisition of said crystal

326
00:28:07,000 --> 00:28:15,000
I would have all of you brought to Wild Times and participate in this study as the people who had acquired it

327
00:28:15,000 --> 00:28:22,000
And as sort of the hired crew for myself

328
00:28:22,000 --> 00:28:30,000
So for the intended purposes of this ploy, the crystal is for Wild Times, for further research

329
00:28:30,000 --> 00:28:32,000
Right, so a lot of truth telling

330
00:28:32,000 --> 00:28:44,000
A lot of truth, and the incident that just occurred that you saw the tail end of was a miscommunication of your crew off contract, let's say

331
00:28:44,000 --> 00:28:48,000
We need to get everyone back, and we need that crystal

332
00:28:48,000 --> 00:28:55,000
There's no need for further violence, violence has gotten us nowhere, that is our objective, are we clear?

333
00:28:55,000 --> 00:28:59,000
Okay, so, what are we just going to walk up to the ship?

334
00:28:59,000 --> 00:29:00,000
Yes

335
00:29:00,000 --> 00:29:04,000
And just hope that they let us out?

336
00:29:04,000 --> 00:29:13,000
Well, let's consider first, do you have the signature for Skye?

337
00:29:13,000 --> 00:29:17,000
We don't do a lot of signing of official documents

338
00:29:17,000 --> 00:29:19,000
You don't have any forgeries on you?

339
00:29:19,000 --> 00:29:25,000
I have forgeries, but none of them is in the name Skye, it's a lot of different names

340
00:29:25,000 --> 00:29:47,000
Well, I could quickly draft up some makeshift contracts and present those as legal evidence, it would basically just be the same files that we use at Wild Times and just modulate it so that it would regard the specific mission

341
00:29:47,000 --> 00:29:50,000
Sure, I mean we'd have to backdate them, right?

342
00:29:50,000 --> 00:29:55,000
Sure, but that was fully, what, 13 days ago?

343
00:29:55,000 --> 00:29:57,000
Yeah, about two weeks

344
00:29:57,000 --> 00:30:03,000
Do you have a printer? It's fine, we can just show the file on...

345
00:30:03,000 --> 00:30:07,000
The file attachment, I mean I have a fax machine, we can send it to the fax

346
00:30:07,000 --> 00:30:10,000
You have a fax machine?

347
00:30:10,000 --> 00:30:21,000
Yeah, it's how I get messages, I haven't properly put in like a solid computer drive in, so they all get printed through a fax machine

348
00:30:21,000 --> 00:30:25,000
Wow, that's stellar

349
00:30:25,000 --> 00:30:32,000
I've only heard of such things, it sounds monstrous to work

350
00:30:32,000 --> 00:30:38,000
Yeah, it was pretty much entirely rust when I found it, but I thought it was neat, I like old shit

351
00:30:38,000 --> 00:30:40,000
Okay, so to the patchwork

352
00:30:40,000 --> 00:30:42,000
Yes, to the patchwork

353
00:30:42,000 --> 00:30:54,000
If this goes completely wrong, the crew first, the crystal is a bargaining chip

354
00:30:54,000 --> 00:31:01,000
The crew matters way more

355
00:31:01,000 --> 00:31:10,000
Alright, very well, I see no objection

356
00:31:10,000 --> 00:31:12,000
After you, Doctor

357
00:31:12,000 --> 00:31:26,000
Theoretic strides forward as they assume the role of leader in this operation

358
00:31:26,000 --> 00:31:34,000
Streaks of light shoot through the atmosphere of Erem, comets crash onto the surface spraying nearby houses in molten rock

359
00:31:34,000 --> 00:31:39,000
Young Ifrit play and splash in the lava, laughing playing games

360
00:31:39,000 --> 00:31:42,000
This small village is quieter than most

361
00:31:42,000 --> 00:31:47,000
A cert energy factory planned to open, but the resistance broke their plans, they have yet to retaliate

362
00:31:47,000 --> 00:31:51,000
So for now you sit, watching the laughter

363
00:31:51,000 --> 00:31:59,000
You feel a presence beside you, you turn to see a young Ifrit, curled ram horns, skin bright almost blue with flame

364
00:31:59,000 --> 00:32:03,000
You see Melis, is this seat taken?

365
00:32:03,000 --> 00:32:11,000
They have two drinks in some pottery and they hand you one of them

366
00:32:11,000 --> 00:32:18,000
No, not at all

367
00:32:18,000 --> 00:32:26,000
Take a seat next to you, they look out, it's nice

368
00:32:26,000 --> 00:32:30,000
Yeah

369
00:32:30,000 --> 00:32:38,000
Listen, I know it's nerve wracking, but they have yet to retaliate

370
00:32:38,000 --> 00:32:39,000
I don't want to

371
00:32:39,000 --> 00:32:41,000
We've done nothing but win recently

372
00:32:41,000 --> 00:32:47,000
I don't want to talk about that

373
00:32:47,000 --> 00:32:52,000
How many do you want?

374
00:32:52,000 --> 00:33:05,000
I confusedly pointed a little, basically like, they probably look more like molten lava than they do like human children, but I pointed a little bundles of joy

375
00:33:05,000 --> 00:33:06,000
Yeah

376
00:33:06,000 --> 00:33:22,000
Hey, you know me, if we could go into a tunnel and just get all of them out, and have a small, whole school's worth, that would be

377
00:33:22,000 --> 00:33:25,000
That's the dream for me

378
00:33:25,000 --> 00:33:28,000
I remember all this

379
00:33:28,000 --> 00:33:32,000
Remember all what?

380
00:33:32,000 --> 00:33:40,000
This I proposed today, didn't I?

381
00:33:40,000 --> 00:33:51,000
Not unless you got someone else, which I'm open to, but you alone probably can't handle me

382
00:33:51,000 --> 00:34:00,000
No, I'm sorry

383
00:34:00,000 --> 00:34:11,000
That's a lot of children for just two of us, that's what I said, right?

384
00:34:11,000 --> 00:34:27,000
They sit back, a little uneasy scoot, maybe a bit further away, yeah, I mean that's the dream, but we don't have to, it was a joke, I don't actually want

385
00:34:27,000 --> 00:34:35,000
No, no, I was joking, not joking, what's going on?

386
00:34:35,000 --> 00:34:40,000
Well why don't you tell me, you seem odd, we've won

387
00:34:40,000 --> 00:34:58,000
Said we didn't, this was a brief, brief moment before everything got worse, before they came back in force, before they called a heff, this was an eye of a storm, this was before you were taken from me and I was taken from you

388
00:34:58,000 --> 00:35:10,000
I stroke my bare chin, oddly, like I'm feeling it for the first time in years, something's happening, something's in my memory

389
00:35:10,000 --> 00:35:19,000
Their face sinks in almost an annoyance

390
00:35:19,000 --> 00:35:21,000
Yeah you know what, this isn't working, can we rerun Simulat-

391
00:35:21,000 --> 00:35:39,000
Eigh, the sun isn't a feeling that you're used to, you can count on one hand how many times you've seen the natural light of day, but here it's in abundance

392
00:35:39,000 --> 00:36:05,000
It feels the clean hard room you're sat in, papers are neatly stacked on a fake wooden table in this small office space, the door to this room opens just enough to not hit the table and a man steps through, clean shaven, pressed suit, red shirt and tie, slick brown hair held in place by expensive product, a tint of electronic blue behind his eyes

393
00:36:05,000 --> 00:36:17,000
Hello there, I'm so sorry to keep you waiting, my name is Mr. Highlock, but you can call me Quinn, I hear that I'm lucky enough to have you interview to work with me

394
00:36:17,000 --> 00:36:26,000
Hi, I'm, I think I'm the lucky one actually, thank you so much for this opportunity

395
00:36:26,000 --> 00:36:45,000
Please, it's an absolute honor, I mean I read through your resume and I'm excited for this opportunity, now I have a few questions, now this work will have you travel around a lot, moving from the upper decks to the lower decks, this is something that you're happy to do?

396
00:36:45,000 --> 00:37:12,000
I move from the lower decks to the upper decks, I'm going to move from the lower decks to the upper decks, I do that quite a lot actually, and I move really well I think you'll find, so that should be no problem

397
00:37:12,000 --> 00:37:21,000
Good, good, something I noticed on your report that I thought was interesting that I just wanted to talk to you about

398
00:37:21,000 --> 00:37:23,000
You...

399
00:37:23,000 --> 00:37:27,000
Can talk to machines

400
00:37:27,000 --> 00:37:52,000
I never told you that, no, I, I, I can, I can, I just know machines, I know how to work them, I can use them quite well in most circumstances

401
00:37:52,000 --> 00:38:07,000
I have a team of people, we all came up in this company together so we've formed an inner circle of sorts, so sometimes I'll have to move your responsibilities over to them, are you comfortable with working for a larger group of people, like a team?

402
00:38:07,000 --> 00:38:10,000
I'm sorry, did we do this before?

403
00:38:10,000 --> 00:38:16,000
All of these interviews are the same and I imagine that someone, you've had a fair few interviews just like this

404
00:38:16,000 --> 00:38:31,000
Right, sorry, I, I, I do want to work with more people, I, I miss being around people so I would greatly like that

405
00:38:31,000 --> 00:38:35,000
Mr, what did you say your name was?

406
00:38:35,000 --> 00:38:37,000
Hilock, but you can call me Quinn

407
00:38:37,000 --> 00:38:42,000
Quinn?

408
00:38:42,000 --> 00:38:45,000
Are we friends Quinn?

409
00:38:45,000 --> 00:38:48,000
You certainly seem to think so

410
00:38:48,000 --> 00:38:53,000
Why are you lying to me Quinn?

411
00:38:53,000 --> 00:38:57,000
Why were you down there?

412
00:38:57,000 --> 00:39:04,000
And who's...

413
00:39:04,000 --> 00:39:11,000
I don't understand why you were there

414
00:39:11,000 --> 00:39:14,000
Why don't you ask then

415
00:39:14,000 --> 00:39:19,000
We're talking right now, why are we talking right now?

416
00:39:19,000 --> 00:39:29,000
There seems to be a fuzz, almost TV static that fills the space, just, just, just briefly

417
00:39:29,000 --> 00:39:45,000
And in this break you see the threads that you're used to seeing, one that clicks your attention is a small computer that Quinn has set up on their side of the desk

418
00:39:45,000 --> 00:39:59,000
That doesn't seem to have any thread attached, but there is a thread in the centre of the room that feeds out and goes beyond the clouds and beyond the sky

419
00:39:59,000 --> 00:40:08,000
You click into this sight of this one singular thread

420
00:40:08,000 --> 00:40:19,000
All language gets a bit more garbled and it becomes slightly harder to hear

421
00:40:19,000 --> 00:40:26,000
And then all of a sudden everything seems to go red

422
00:40:26,000 --> 00:40:33,000
And you see this one glass plate in front of you

423
00:40:33,000 --> 00:40:41,000
And then almost immediately everything bursts into light and you are sat back in the office

424
00:40:41,000 --> 00:40:46,000
The sun, Ike, isn't a feeling that you're used to

425
00:40:46,000 --> 00:40:57,000
You can count on one hand how many times you've seen the natural light of day, but here, right now, it's in abundance

426
00:40:57,000 --> 00:40:59,000
Sky

427
00:40:59,000 --> 00:41:04,000
Muck-ridden rain pelts against you as you hobble through the lower deck's streets

428
00:41:04,000 --> 00:41:09,000
Your broken leg has carried you this far, but patrols still search for you

429
00:41:09,000 --> 00:41:13,000
Your blood-soaked hand holds a piece of paper with a meeting place

430
00:41:13,000 --> 00:41:18,000
The word scrap and a number is scribbled in hurried font

431
00:41:18,000 --> 00:41:23,000
You follow the neon streets till you can see a hole in the mock sky

432
00:41:23,000 --> 00:41:30,000
Large mechs throw debris from the clean upper decks down into a broken pile in the lower decks

433
00:41:30,000 --> 00:41:37,000
You approach a large makeshift sign that says scrap scrapyard that hangs above gate

434
00:41:37,000 --> 00:41:45,000
A piece of paper taped to the gate says if you need me, no you don't. If it's an emergency, you can wait

435
00:41:45,000 --> 00:41:47,000
Uh...

436
00:41:47,000 --> 00:41:50,000
Hello?

437
00:41:50,000 --> 00:41:59,000
I'm going to timidly walk into the scrapyard, checking to see if anyone's there

438
00:41:59,000 --> 00:42:11,000
These hovering machines, silently, idly, making pathways, making a maze through this scrapyard

439
00:42:11,000 --> 00:42:22,000
You follow them down until you see a ramshackle shack and a brown Yoski rat

440
00:42:22,000 --> 00:42:30,000
Half their face covered in metal, this one antenna that blinks in unison with all the machines around them

441
00:42:30,000 --> 00:42:41,000
They have a blowtorch and they are torching a side of a, what looks to be, will be in the future, a ship

442
00:42:41,000 --> 00:42:44,000
Hey, are you scrap?

443
00:42:44,000 --> 00:42:50,000
No, no, I don't care what you're selling. I'm not buying it. Thank you very much

444
00:42:50,000 --> 00:42:57,000
Hive sent me. They said you might be able to get me a ride off of Saga

445
00:42:57,000 --> 00:43:05,000
Listen, I ain't doing any more jobs for Void. I've done what I did. I got out

446
00:43:05,000 --> 00:43:09,000
This ship is not for Void members, okay?

447
00:43:09,000 --> 00:43:24,000
I don't want to be a Void member. I want to leave. And I know that nobody really leaves, but I want to try

448
00:43:24,000 --> 00:43:28,000
Why? Why are you leaving?

449
00:43:28,000 --> 00:43:31,000
Because I think I messed up

450
00:43:31,000 --> 00:43:38,000
Well, this ship, it needs six engines that can make it through the atmosphere

451
00:43:38,000 --> 00:43:43,000
If you can get me those six engines, then yeah, I can figure out a way to get you on board

452
00:43:43,000 --> 00:43:47,000
Yeah, I can go get those right now

453
00:43:47,000 --> 00:43:56,000
And she goes to leave and then stops, turns around and says, actually, could I make a stop?

454
00:43:56,000 --> 00:43:58,000
What? Now?

455
00:43:58,000 --> 00:44:01,000
Just on the way

456
00:44:01,000 --> 00:44:11,000
Scrap seems to turn and look over their shoulder and then turn back. Where? Where do you want to go?

457
00:44:11,000 --> 00:44:18,000
This might sound a little immature, but have you ever read a comic book?

458
00:44:18,000 --> 00:44:30,000
I've done a little reading and I like the ones with pictures and it seems like something I might like

459
00:44:30,000 --> 00:44:41,000
So if I can just have ten minutes, I'd like to try it. Please

460
00:44:41,000 --> 00:44:46,000
What's your name?

461
00:44:46,000 --> 00:44:47,000
Skye

462
00:44:47,000 --> 00:44:48,000
Scrap

463
00:44:48,000 --> 00:44:50,000
Nice to meet you

464
00:44:50,000 --> 00:44:52,000
Theriac

465
00:44:52,000 --> 00:44:59,000
What do you want? What do you want, you monster?

466
00:44:59,000 --> 00:45:04,000
We arrive at the Heth ship

467
00:45:04,000 --> 00:45:16,000
It's large, almost perfectly circular with these offshoots of these other spheres connected by small walkway bridges

468
00:45:16,000 --> 00:45:20,000
All of it rests, it's ramp fully open

469
00:45:20,000 --> 00:45:28,000
Okay, so we go in, we just tell the truth, just like ever, we just say the truth

470
00:45:28,000 --> 00:45:32,000
I need you to stop saying the word truth so much, that's so suspicious

471
00:45:32,000 --> 00:45:35,000
It's really, I'm really not used to it

472
00:45:35,000 --> 00:45:41,000
Oh my god, oh my god, I completely forgot

473
00:45:41,000 --> 00:45:45,000
Are you having a panic attack? Are we alright? I'm also freaking out

474
00:45:45,000 --> 00:45:48,000
Come back over here and we'll let this end back together

475
00:45:48,000 --> 00:45:51,000
Okay, alright

476
00:45:51,000 --> 00:45:59,000
I forgot about the other crew, the other crew doesn't know about this bit, this cover story

477
00:45:59,000 --> 00:46:05,000
There's a second crew, the one that stole our things

478
00:46:05,000 --> 00:46:06,000
Okay

479
00:46:06,000 --> 00:46:08,000
So they have information that contradicts ours

480
00:46:08,000 --> 00:46:14,000
So if they're getting interrogated, which I don't know, I didn't see them taken away

481
00:46:14,000 --> 00:46:19,000
However, should they be called in as witnesses, we need to make sure that those tracks are also covered

482
00:46:19,000 --> 00:46:24,000
Okay, sure, so, alright, so what are we doing with them? Are we...

483
00:46:24,000 --> 00:46:31,000
I'm debating if we should, if I should delegate to you to discuss with that team

484
00:46:31,000 --> 00:46:36,000
Or if we should do that together before going to get the crew

485
00:46:36,000 --> 00:46:38,000
Just as a backup

486
00:46:38,000 --> 00:46:46,000
Or if we should just go in and just see if we can get them out the gate, but that's very risky, should things fall apart

487
00:46:46,000 --> 00:46:53,000
Also, I don't, I am assuming, do you have, I mean, do you have your weapon on you?

488
00:46:53,000 --> 00:46:54,000
Yeah

489
00:46:54,000 --> 00:47:01,000
Okay, one of those little skitter manders stole one of my scalpels, but that's not important

490
00:47:01,000 --> 00:47:05,000
So you want to get the other people that stole from us on our side?

491
00:47:05,000 --> 00:47:10,000
That may be difficult because I shot their leader with an injection

492
00:47:10,000 --> 00:47:13,000
But they stole from us, so I feel like Pirate's Code, tit for tat

493
00:47:13,000 --> 00:47:20,000
So are even, and also they did assist us with the Heth, so I feel like we're already on very solid ground as far as diplomatic relations

494
00:47:20,000 --> 00:47:24,000
Yeah, okay, yeah, sure thing, I can go speak to them if you want

495
00:47:24,000 --> 00:47:29,000
Well, there are, I don't, there are still Heth over there, so perhaps that's not the smartest idea

496
00:47:29,000 --> 00:47:32,000
Okay, how many are there in total, the Heth?

497
00:47:32,000 --> 00:47:38,000
There were a good amount, they were moving some of the cargo around that was near the dock

498
00:47:38,000 --> 00:47:40,000
Are they still over there?

499
00:47:40,000 --> 00:47:43,000
Yeah, they were when I just came back

500
00:47:43,000 --> 00:47:51,000
Okay, the size of this ship, I don't see it like in any official capacity holding more than four live-in people

501
00:47:51,000 --> 00:47:52,000
Their ship or our ship?

502
00:47:52,000 --> 00:47:54,000
Their ship

503
00:47:54,000 --> 00:47:58,000
Their ship's bigger than ours, but ours is in no way capacity, they probably have rooms

504
00:47:58,000 --> 00:48:02,000
And if there's some over there, then we might be able to get away with

505
00:48:02,000 --> 00:48:11,000
Why don't we go inside and see how many are inside before we try and evaluate our tactical risks

506
00:48:11,000 --> 00:48:15,000
And they will ascend the ramp again

507
00:48:15,000 --> 00:48:23,000
The inside lighting almost matches the colour scheme of the outside of this ship, it is very red

508
00:48:23,000 --> 00:48:30,000
Like everything is lit by this kind of dim, almost warning red

509
00:48:30,000 --> 00:48:40,000
As you walk up the ramp, you see this one large spherical glass chamber with a cluster of drift cores

510
00:48:40,000 --> 00:48:48,000
All mashed together looking a bit like a collection of atoms

511
00:48:48,000 --> 00:48:50,000
I don't know the official name for it

512
00:48:50,000 --> 00:48:52,000
Oh, it's like the nucleus of an atom

513
00:48:52,000 --> 00:48:54,000
Wow, that's what it looks like, thank you

514
00:48:54,000 --> 00:49:01,000
This centre room after you walk up the ramp are three rooms going off of it

515
00:49:01,000 --> 00:49:04,000
You also... give me a perception real quick

516
00:49:04,000 --> 00:49:06,000
I'm also going to roll one for scrap

517
00:49:06,000 --> 00:49:07,000
Ben

518
00:49:07,000 --> 00:49:09,000
Oh, Nat 20, baby

519
00:49:09,000 --> 00:49:11,000
Do I need to roll?

520
00:49:11,000 --> 00:49:15,000
Yeah, yeah, you still need to roll, you're player, you're more important

521
00:49:15,000 --> 00:49:17,000
Okay

522
00:49:17,000 --> 00:49:25,000
Uh, well, we're starting strong at seven

523
00:49:25,000 --> 00:49:29,000
You walk in casually and easily

524
00:49:29,000 --> 00:49:36,000
Scrap as you walk up closer to one of these three rooms that go off

525
00:49:36,000 --> 00:49:40,000
Scrap grabs your arm, hey, and then points up

526
00:49:40,000 --> 00:49:46,000
And there is hidden a security camera that is moving back and forth

527
00:49:46,000 --> 00:49:50,000
We're not doing anything suspicious yet, but we're also on the ship

528
00:49:50,000 --> 00:49:54,000
If there's no one else here, we can probably wipe the record of us being on

529
00:49:54,000 --> 00:50:00,000
Well, we don't know if this is being collected on board or if this is being satellite viewed

530
00:50:00,000 --> 00:50:04,000
So let's be civil, Scrap, I know that's difficult

531
00:50:04,000 --> 00:50:06,000
Hey

532
00:50:06,000 --> 00:50:08,000
Sorry

533
00:50:08,000 --> 00:50:12,000
Alright, yeah, let's be civil, go on

534
00:50:12,000 --> 00:50:13,000
Alright

535
00:50:13,000 --> 00:50:15,000
Do you want to call out what's the plan?

536
00:50:15,000 --> 00:50:16,000
What?

537
00:50:16,000 --> 00:50:18,000
Call out for help, are we going back?

538
00:50:18,000 --> 00:50:20,000
Call out for someone to come grab us, or?

539
00:50:20,000 --> 00:50:22,000
Oh, I'm just gonna go to the reception desk

540
00:50:22,000 --> 00:50:24,000
The reception desk? This is a ship

541
00:50:24,000 --> 00:50:27,000
What? Whatever the equivalent is!

542
00:50:27,000 --> 00:50:29,000
Oh, okay, alright, I mean

543
00:50:29,000 --> 00:50:32,000
I'm not used to spacefaring, I'm sorry

544
00:50:32,000 --> 00:50:34,000
Where is the reception desk of the ship?

545
00:50:34,000 --> 00:50:41,000
Alright, well, I imagine that we're in a reception hall, I can't imagine these three doors aren't locked

546
00:50:41,000 --> 00:50:45,000
I know that that one is the pilot's desk, points to...

547
00:50:45,000 --> 00:50:49,000
So the three rooms from this, there is one straight ahead of you

548
00:50:49,000 --> 00:50:51,000
There's one to your left and one to your right

549
00:50:51,000 --> 00:50:54,000
Scrap points to the one to the left, that one's definitely the pilot's desk

550
00:50:54,000 --> 00:50:56,000
Because I spotted that outside

551
00:50:56,000 --> 00:50:57,000
Sure

552
00:50:57,000 --> 00:51:01,000
If the captain or whoever is still aboard, they'd probably be in there

553
00:51:01,000 --> 00:51:07,000
But again, I don't think that any of these would just naturally be open

554
00:51:07,000 --> 00:51:12,000
Especially with the ramp down, the ramp down implies that someone is on board, at least one

555
00:51:12,000 --> 00:51:14,000
Alright, I suppose I'll just call out

556
00:51:14,000 --> 00:51:20,000
Um, excuse me, pardon, is anyone on board?

557
00:51:20,000 --> 00:51:26,000
I have some business to attend to

558
00:51:26,000 --> 00:51:34,000
Waits a bit too long for... if someone was going to come, they probably would have arrived by now

559
00:51:34,000 --> 00:51:36,000
Alright, well perhaps it is time to begin knocking?

560
00:51:36,000 --> 00:51:38,000
Wanna try the pilot's door first?

561
00:51:38,000 --> 00:51:40,000
Let's try the pilot's door because we know that that's...

562
00:51:40,000 --> 00:51:43,000
Probably where a captain would be, okay

563
00:51:43,000 --> 00:51:44,000
Alright

564
00:51:44,000 --> 00:51:48,000
Or whatever the metallic equivalent is

565
00:51:48,000 --> 00:51:49,000
Yeah, I getcha

566
00:51:49,000 --> 00:51:55,000
As you knock, there's this... and the doors open

567
00:51:55,000 --> 00:51:57,000
It's about half the size of the patchwork

568
00:51:57,000 --> 00:52:03,000
There are four consoles and one lead chair with a console in front of them

569
00:52:03,000 --> 00:52:15,000
A large glass screen that covers a full almost strip around this entire dome that the Heth seemed to sit in

570
00:52:15,000 --> 00:52:20,000
There is no one there, but there is a ding ding

571
00:52:20,000 --> 00:52:22,000
Oh, hello?

572
00:52:22,000 --> 00:52:27,000
A little like... of a little intercom panel like pops out of the wall

573
00:52:27,000 --> 00:52:28,000
Oh, oh

574
00:52:28,000 --> 00:52:33,000
Welcome to the Heth number E2567F

575
00:52:33,000 --> 00:52:35,000
How can I be of service to you today?

576
00:52:35,000 --> 00:52:39,000
My readings suggest that you are not a member of the crew

577
00:52:39,000 --> 00:52:43,000
That is correct. My name is Dr. Thiriak, I work with Wild Times

578
00:52:43,000 --> 00:52:54,000
I have been informed that some of the people I have employed for Wild Times' confidential missions have been arrested

579
00:52:54,000 --> 00:52:55,000
Is that true?

580
00:52:55,000 --> 00:52:59,000
Unfortunately I cannot divulge information of people aboard

581
00:52:59,000 --> 00:53:04,000
But if you find a superior officer, they can give you a clearance pass which will allow me to tell you more

582
00:53:04,000 --> 00:53:10,000
Alright, would they be at the scene of the crime or whatever the equivalent is?

583
00:53:10,000 --> 00:53:14,000
Unfortunately, you do not have the clearance level for me to tell you this

584
00:53:14,000 --> 00:53:15,000
Alright, well

585
00:53:15,000 --> 00:53:19,000
Alright, hey, can you come over here? Can you come over here?

586
00:53:19,000 --> 00:53:21,000
He pulls you next to the drift core and then like...

587
00:53:21,000 --> 00:53:22,000
Give me one moment please

588
00:53:22,000 --> 00:53:26,000
I know what your big plan is to like go under the radar and I super respect that

589
00:53:26,000 --> 00:53:27,000
That shit is bill of junk

590
00:53:27,000 --> 00:53:33,000
I can absolutely hack it and get all the information just to make it seem like we can get the max clearance passes if you want

591
00:53:33,000 --> 00:53:35,000
Why don't... alright

592
00:53:35,000 --> 00:53:39,000
You already have the image of a brigand

593
00:53:39,000 --> 00:53:42,000
Yeah, I'm not the cleanest rat around, I appreciate it, yeah

594
00:53:42,000 --> 00:53:45,000
Why don't I go and find a superior officer?

595
00:53:45,000 --> 00:53:51,000
If I come back, if I... how about this? If I come back and there is no superior officer with me, then we can try that

596
00:53:51,000 --> 00:53:55,000
Sure, I'm gonna go to the patchwork, I'm gonna get my stuff

597
00:53:55,000 --> 00:53:59,000
I will sit on a bench just outside of helium

598
00:53:59,000 --> 00:54:05,000
If I see you walking up with nobody, I'm gonna set up post underneath the ship

599
00:54:05,000 --> 00:54:09,000
And I'll call you on the phone and tell you what doors are open and who's coming and all that jazz

600
00:54:09,000 --> 00:54:13,000
Alright, sounds agreeable

601
00:54:13,000 --> 00:54:14,000
Wonderful

602
00:54:14,000 --> 00:54:21,000
And we'll lock down this ramp again looking for a superior officer

603
00:54:21,000 --> 00:54:22,000
Wonderful

604
00:54:22,000 --> 00:54:26,000
Eig, the sunlight isn't a feeling you're used to

605
00:54:26,000 --> 00:54:32,000
You can count on one hand how many times you've seen the natural light of day, but here it's in abundance

606
00:54:32,000 --> 00:54:35,000
It fills the clean, hard room you're sat in

607
00:54:35,000 --> 00:54:39,000
Papers neatly stacked on a fake wooden table in a small office space

608
00:54:39,000 --> 00:54:42,000
Door to this room opens

609
00:54:42,000 --> 00:54:50,000
A bit too excitedly hits the table and the stack of papers slide across

610
00:54:50,000 --> 00:54:55,000
A clean shaven man in a press suit with a red shirt and tie steps in

611
00:54:55,000 --> 00:55:00,000
Slick bra on hair, held in place by expensive product

612
00:55:00,000 --> 00:55:07,000
Piercing green eyes smile at you as they shut the door behind them

613
00:55:07,000 --> 00:55:11,000
Oops, sorry, I always forget how small these rooms are

614
00:55:11,000 --> 00:55:15,000
Sorry, my name is Mr. Highlock

615
00:55:15,000 --> 00:55:19,000
You can call me Quinn, of course, if you want to, that's fine

616
00:55:19,000 --> 00:55:22,000
Sorry, I'm supposed to be here for an interview?

617
00:55:22,000 --> 00:55:27,000
That's right, it's me, hi, my name's Eig

618
00:55:27,000 --> 00:55:35,000
You're here to interview me and I'm very excited to come aboard

619
00:55:35,000 --> 00:55:40,000
Matt, I really would like to try something, please

620
00:55:40,000 --> 00:55:41,000
I'd love it if you did

621
00:55:41,000 --> 00:55:49,000
I want Eig to try very hard to recite the memory of this conversation

622
00:55:49,000 --> 00:55:54,000
But I would like Eig to try to speak through that thread

623
00:55:54,000 --> 00:56:05,000
And I want her to try to break through and find Sky and Azam

624
00:56:05,000 --> 00:56:08,000
Give me an intelligence check

625
00:56:08,000 --> 00:56:11,000
Computers, give me a computer

626
00:56:11,000 --> 00:56:12,000
Thank you, thank you

627
00:56:12,000 --> 00:56:14,000
I apologize, give me a computer

628
00:56:14,000 --> 00:56:19,000
Okay, that's a 25

629
00:56:19,000 --> 00:56:26,000
The world begins to shift as you concentrate

630
00:56:26,000 --> 00:56:33,000
Quinn's words fade into the background as you focus on the thread that stretches out into the sky

631
00:56:33,000 --> 00:56:38,000
The world snaps, breaks, slightly

632
00:56:38,000 --> 00:56:44,000
All colors morph into a broken red and blue like you're wearing an old pair of 3D glasses

633
00:56:44,000 --> 00:56:54,000
And as this image of the world melts away, you feel yourself lying down inside a type of pod with a glass window in front of you

634
00:56:54,000 --> 00:57:07,000
When you try to move your head, you feel two pipes connected to your temples and there's a slight buzz and hum of electricity that goes into either side

635
00:57:07,000 --> 00:57:16,000
Past the glass window you see in front of you is a figure sat at a table, a large helmet that covers their whole head

636
00:57:16,000 --> 00:57:22,000
Except you can see their jaw is slightly slacked and they seem to be mumbling something to themselves

637
00:57:22,000 --> 00:57:28,000
They're also waving their arms in front of them, moving unseen documents and taking notes

638
00:57:28,000 --> 00:57:38,000
This helmet is connected to the ceiling through pipes and wires that raise up and spread across the ceiling like veins in a body

639
00:57:38,000 --> 00:57:53,000
And they cross the ceiling, fall down into your pod and then spread out into two pods which are to either side of you

640
00:57:53,000 --> 00:58:00,000
You have full control of your body, you also have full control of yourself in this memory

641
00:58:00,000 --> 00:58:03,000
So you can flick between the two, whichever one you want

642
00:58:03,000 --> 00:58:10,000
This person who is sat at the table is seemingly completely invested in this, in whatever they seem to be doing

643
00:58:10,000 --> 00:58:17,000
I want to see if I can break into the other simulations they're running

644
00:58:17,000 --> 00:58:20,000
As up

645
00:58:20,000 --> 00:58:35,000
A streak of light shoots through the atmosphere and as it does you are on this streak of light

646
00:58:35,000 --> 00:58:43,000
A shoddy tapestry of a ship rumbles through the galaxy

647
00:58:43,000 --> 00:58:54,000
You sleep in an awkward hammock that swings roughly back and forth

648
00:58:54,000 --> 00:59:05,000
Sky, the muck-ridden rain pelts against you as you hobble awkwardly out of the engine

649
00:59:05,000 --> 00:59:18,000
Sprinkler you've accidentally turned on and the sprinklers throw this disused stale water on you as you are aboard the patchwork

650
00:59:18,000 --> 00:59:29,000
The sun isn't a feeling you're used to but through the skylight you look out and you see the sun and its light beckons down upon you

651
00:59:29,000 --> 00:59:33,000
As you stand in the kitchen of the patchwork

652
00:59:33,000 --> 00:59:39,000
All three of you seem to occupy this one same space

653
00:59:39,000 --> 00:59:42,000
Azam

654
00:59:42,000 --> 00:59:54,000
Azam does nothing but raise a finger towards his lips and mouths the words in galactic universal language, you know?

655
00:59:54,000 --> 01:00:00,000
Do I know what they're trying... cause again, like I almost broke out of it before

656
01:00:00,000 --> 01:00:01,000
Yes

657
01:00:01,000 --> 01:00:09,000
I'm gonna give you information regardless of what you roll but would you mind rolling me just a culture just cause I like people rolling stuff

658
01:00:09,000 --> 01:00:12,000
I'm in a rolly mood today, you know what I mean?

659
01:00:12,000 --> 01:00:17,000
Of course, of course, no, 24?

660
01:00:17,000 --> 01:00:32,000
The Heth put people through the way that they operate is that they offer huge huge sums of money to join up to their military force

661
01:00:32,000 --> 01:00:48,000
When they do, they scrub people's memories entirely clean and train them as a they are for 100% the Heth

662
01:00:48,000 --> 01:00:59,000
There is another process that when trying to gather information, they scrub through people's memories over and over again

663
01:00:59,000 --> 01:01:05,000
Trying to pass and take any tiny little bits of information that they can

664
01:01:05,000 --> 01:01:14,000
And you quite quickly gather that this is the event that at least you have just been going through

665
01:01:14,000 --> 01:01:17,000
So all this you're doing?

666
01:01:17,000 --> 01:01:25,000
I think so, I'm like not totally in control of it but I am in

667
01:01:25,000 --> 01:01:33,000
Okay, try and repeat the same scenario but with us speaking differently

668
01:01:33,000 --> 01:01:36,000
Feed that to them so we can speak freely

669
01:01:36,000 --> 01:01:48,000
Okay, hold please, if I lose you though and you go back to whatever memory you were in

670
01:01:48,000 --> 01:01:58,000
Don't say anything that you don't want them to know and I'll keep trying

671
01:01:58,000 --> 01:02:05,000
I only have one memory they're testing me with and it's not one they're gonna get any good information out of

672
01:02:05,000 --> 01:02:09,000
Good, Skye, are you alright?

673
01:02:09,000 --> 01:02:11,000
Can I choose to stay in it?

674
01:02:11,000 --> 01:02:12,000
Yes, yeah you can

675
01:02:12,000 --> 01:02:14,000
To stay in the memory?

676
01:02:14,000 --> 01:02:17,000
Oh I'm talking high game, sorry

677
01:02:17,000 --> 01:02:19,000
Oh okay

678
01:02:19,000 --> 01:02:21,000
We don't hear an answer

679
01:02:21,000 --> 01:02:25,000
Oh so Skye's not there, just me and his arm on the ship

680
01:02:25,000 --> 01:02:36,000
You would have noticed a flicker of Skye as she still lived through the appearance of being on the patchwork

681
01:02:36,000 --> 01:02:42,000
But then seemed to get sucked away and out of this construct that you have built

682
01:02:42,000 --> 01:02:45,000
Okay, give me a second, I'm gonna try that

683
01:02:45,000 --> 01:02:46,000
Of course

684
01:02:46,000 --> 01:02:50,000
I'm gonna try, I almost had Skye, I can't

685
01:02:50,000 --> 01:02:57,000
Ike, don't worry about Skye right now, we'll get her right next, but you've got this

686
01:02:57,000 --> 01:03:17,000
Okay, okay and I will try to do as Asam suggested and try to concentrate on projecting that we're both playing along with our scenarios

687
01:03:17,000 --> 01:03:18,000
Okay

688
01:03:18,000 --> 01:03:19,000
Perfectly

689
01:03:19,000 --> 01:03:21,000
Give me your computers, gamer

690
01:03:21,000 --> 01:03:25,000
Okay, okay, I'm just gonna say please, please, please

691
01:03:25,000 --> 01:03:30,000
I'm gonna say that this is going to be a DC25 of a computers chick

692
01:03:30,000 --> 01:03:31,000
Okay

693
01:03:31,000 --> 01:03:41,000
With me like trying to support Skye, support Ike emotionally or the like, can I roll something to try and give her a bonus?

694
01:03:41,000 --> 01:03:47,000
You can give them your Envoy Dice, which is a C6 I believe

695
01:03:47,000 --> 01:03:49,000
Okay, good, we're off to a good start

696
01:03:49,000 --> 01:03:50,000
Good

697
01:03:50,000 --> 01:03:53,000
Okay, okay, okay, that is a 33

698
01:03:53,000 --> 01:03:54,000
Fucking hell

699
01:03:54,000 --> 01:03:55,000
Thank you Asam

700
01:03:55,000 --> 01:04:01,000
You hear all these different voices, these echoes of you and Asam

701
01:04:01,000 --> 01:04:03,000
I think I'm the lucky one

702
01:04:03,000 --> 01:04:04,000
Actually

703
01:04:04,000 --> 01:04:10,000
As there is this echo of a conversation going on

704
01:04:10,000 --> 01:04:13,000
Okay, I think I did that part

705
01:04:13,000 --> 01:04:20,000
Good, so of reason Skye isn't here is probably because she wants to be where she is

706
01:04:20,000 --> 01:04:29,000
I don't know, could be that the evil people have trapped her inside the evil simulation

707
01:04:29,000 --> 01:04:31,000
It's not always a bad memory

708
01:04:31,000 --> 01:04:33,000
I don't know what you went through, but I went through

709
01:04:33,000 --> 01:04:37,000
Well, it was a good memory or it used to be a good memory

710
01:04:37,000 --> 01:04:40,000
It's not a good one anymore

711
01:04:40,000 --> 01:04:47,000
If you went through something like Skye's gone through, you know, being on the street, having few available options to you

712
01:04:47,000 --> 01:04:52,000
And you can be in a good memory for just a little bit longer

713
01:04:52,000 --> 01:04:56,000
It's like choosing to sleep in in the morning, right?

714
01:04:56,000 --> 01:05:05,000
Well, whether that's true or not, she's still in a precarious situation

715
01:05:05,000 --> 01:05:09,000
Actually, well, technically speaking, you are

716
01:05:09,000 --> 01:05:11,000
Because this is fake

717
01:05:11,000 --> 01:05:21,000
Okay, so the next step then is what have you ever been in this before?

718
01:05:21,000 --> 01:05:23,000
Do you know if I can break it?

719
01:05:23,000 --> 01:05:26,000
Maybe

720
01:05:26,000 --> 01:05:31,000
I've never known anyone to survive half questioning without falling apart

721
01:05:31,000 --> 01:05:37,000
I think what we need to do is go to Skye's memory and try and coax her out of it

722
01:05:37,000 --> 01:05:43,000
That was my thought is that maybe if we all try at the same time, it'll be easier

723
01:05:43,000 --> 01:05:45,000
Yeah, yeah

724
01:05:45,000 --> 01:05:49,000
We're probably also imprisoned on a ship

725
01:05:49,000 --> 01:05:53,000
Not many people, we don't expend much on captured people

726
01:05:53,000 --> 01:05:55,000
Firiak's probably on their way, he'll be fine

727
01:05:55,000 --> 01:05:57,000
Let's just get to Skye's memory

728
01:05:57,000 --> 01:06:00,000
Oh no, do you think that Dr. Firiak is on their way?

729
01:06:00,000 --> 01:06:04,000
Firiak chose to hide when the rest of us were trapped, right?

730
01:06:04,000 --> 01:06:05,000
Captured

731
01:06:05,000 --> 01:06:06,000
Right

732
01:06:06,000 --> 01:06:11,000
I know Firiak enough, they'll feel a bit of guilt and come running

733
01:06:11,000 --> 01:06:14,000
Probably with Scrap, and who knows who else

734
01:06:14,000 --> 01:06:18,000
Well, what if then they wind up in this?

735
01:06:18,000 --> 01:06:20,000
Exactly, which is why we need to focus on them

736
01:06:20,000 --> 01:06:22,000
Okay, alright, fine, alright, good

737
01:06:22,000 --> 01:06:28,000
Okay, I'll keep an eye out in case I see Firiak memories

738
01:06:28,000 --> 01:06:30,000
It'll be fine, I'm sure of it

739
01:06:30,000 --> 01:06:34,000
Ike, do you need to talk about what you saw?

740
01:06:34,000 --> 01:06:36,000
Certainly not right now

741
01:06:36,000 --> 01:06:45,000
Understood, get us into Skye's memory, let's uh, and if we get there, or if you only get there, go easy on her, okay?

742
01:06:45,000 --> 01:06:49,000
As opposed to my usual abrasive self?

743
01:06:49,000 --> 01:06:58,000
No, you don't understand, she's been through things, I can't discuss it with you, because I don't know if she'd want me to tell you, but she's been through things

744
01:06:58,000 --> 01:07:08,000
No, I will avert my eyes from all memory, I don't want to see any of your memories, I don't want you to see any of mine, so

745
01:07:08,000 --> 01:07:11,000
Meanwhile, I'm gonna look at...

746
01:07:11,000 --> 01:07:16,000
It showed up as a patchwork for a reason, so I'm gonna try and explore what you tinker

747
01:07:16,000 --> 01:07:21,000
Can I like, see if there's anything odd about this particular version of the patchwork?

748
01:07:21,000 --> 01:07:24,000
Yeah, sure, Ike

749
01:07:24,000 --> 01:07:29,000
What does Ike's vision of the patchwork look like?

750
01:07:29,000 --> 01:07:41,000
Ike's vision of the patchwork looks like, like instead of like bits of ugly metal kind of like, more like a quilt

751
01:07:41,000 --> 01:07:48,000
Like literal stitches between the different parts of the ship

752
01:07:48,000 --> 01:07:53,000
Big pieces of yarn holding it together

753
01:07:53,000 --> 01:07:59,000
There are more nooks and crannies, and it's just a little sparklier

754
01:07:59,000 --> 01:08:01,000
Patchwork, quilt

755
01:08:01,000 --> 01:08:04,000
Can I tell this is Ike's handiwork?

756
01:08:04,000 --> 01:08:05,000
Yeah

757
01:08:05,000 --> 01:08:06,000
I think so

758
01:08:06,000 --> 01:08:18,000
So the Asis sun is notably very red, all of the sunlight everywhere is red, but here it seems like a darker, deeper, more artificial

759
01:08:18,000 --> 01:08:28,000
The sun looks artificial, like it looks like it's, it is a projection of the outside into this space

760
01:08:28,000 --> 01:08:34,000
So from Azam's perspective, who doesn't see visual light so much as heat, how does the sun feel?

761
01:08:34,000 --> 01:08:36,000
It feels real

762
01:08:36,000 --> 01:08:45,000
When looking at it, you can see through the shimmer of construction

763
01:08:45,000 --> 01:08:58,000
You can see through, you can see that it looks like a sun, but you can also see this large LED, like red light

764
01:08:58,000 --> 01:09:06,000
Almost like you can push past this image into the room that you're being held in

765
01:09:06,000 --> 01:09:09,000
Because it's not real, it's not a real sun, it's not real heat

766
01:09:09,000 --> 01:09:18,000
Interesting, I walk towards the ramp of the patchwork and just try to push through it without actually putting down the ramp of the patchwork

767
01:09:18,000 --> 01:09:26,000
If I can walk through this illusion, can I just walk to wherever the solid ground is underneath this?

768
01:09:26,000 --> 01:09:29,000
Ooh, very into it

769
01:09:29,000 --> 01:09:35,000
Can you roll me a fortitude?

770
01:09:35,000 --> 01:09:37,000
Save, please

771
01:09:37,000 --> 01:09:39,000
Can she get a little 14 to it?

772
01:09:39,000 --> 01:09:55,000
You aren't able to move any significant portion of your body, but you do feel a twitch in your foot as you attempt to push through

773
01:09:55,000 --> 01:10:03,000
It still feels very real, but there is a, like a different sensation when trying to push through the ramp

774
01:10:03,000 --> 01:10:08,000
It seems like mentally it is still very there, but physically you can feel a shift

775
01:10:08,000 --> 01:10:14,000
Not huge, not so significant that you can immediately bust out, but you do feel a shift

776
01:10:14,000 --> 01:10:18,000
Can both of you make me intelligence checks, please?

777
01:10:18,000 --> 01:10:21,000
Yeah, 16

778
01:10:21,000 --> 01:10:23,000
Same

779
01:10:23,000 --> 01:10:41,000
There's a rumble that both of you feel, and patchwork begins shaking and different threads of this blanketed quilt start slowly coming apart as it slowly starts to fade away

780
01:10:41,000 --> 01:10:53,000
And there is these quite violent explosions like the ship is actually being destroyed, and you can feel both of you getting pulled away from the patchwork

781
01:10:53,000 --> 01:11:01,000
You have a sentence that you can say to each other before you are fully pulled back into the construction

782
01:11:01,000 --> 01:11:08,000
Can I just reach out a hand towards the eye and grasp it?

783
01:11:08,000 --> 01:11:10,000
You've got this

784
01:11:10,000 --> 01:11:12,000
I'm gonna try

785
01:11:20,000 --> 01:11:22,000
Skye

786
01:11:22,000 --> 01:11:26,000
The muck-ridden rain pelts against you as you hobble through the lower deck streets

787
01:11:26,000 --> 01:11:30,000
Your broken leg has carried you this far, but patrols still search for you

788
01:11:30,000 --> 01:11:33,000
Your blood-soaked hands hold a piece of paper for the meeting place

789
01:11:33,000 --> 01:11:36,000
The word scrap and a number is scribbled in hurried font

790
01:11:36,000 --> 01:11:40,000
You follow the neon streets till you find a hole in the muck-sky

791
01:11:40,000 --> 01:11:45,000
Large mechs throw debris from the clean upper decks down to a broken pile in the lower decks

792
01:11:45,000 --> 01:11:50,000
You approach a large makeshift sign saying scrap scrapyard

793
01:11:50,000 --> 01:11:54,000
A piece of paper taped to the gate says if you need me, no you don't

794
01:11:54,000 --> 01:11:56,000
If it's an emergency, you can wait

795
01:11:56,000 --> 01:12:03,000
Hey dude! Yo, scrap! It's kind of an emergency!

796
01:12:03,000 --> 01:12:05,000
Scrap hobbles around a corner

797
01:12:05,000 --> 01:12:08,000
No, no, no. I'm not buying or selling anything today

798
01:12:08,000 --> 01:12:11,000
No, I'm not selling anything dude! Hive sent me

799
01:12:11,000 --> 01:12:14,000
Alright, come in, the gate's open

800
01:12:14,000 --> 01:12:18,000
Sorry, I just got like weird deja vu

801
01:12:18,000 --> 01:12:21,000
Ugh, gnarly

802
01:12:21,000 --> 01:12:23,000
A deja vu?

803
01:12:23,000 --> 01:12:31,000
Yeah, it's been a weird day, never mind, and then I walk inside

804
01:12:31,000 --> 01:12:36,000
You see machines push scrap to make these paths to form a little maze

805
01:12:36,000 --> 01:12:40,000
And you find a ramshackle shack

806
01:12:40,000 --> 01:12:44,000
Scrap walks up to the shack

807
01:12:44,000 --> 01:12:50,000
And next to it is a...

808
01:12:50,000 --> 01:12:53,000
...fully crafted ship

809
01:12:53,000 --> 01:12:57,000
There's these different engines all from different ships

810
01:12:57,000 --> 01:13:05,000
Each part of it seems to be an orchestral song full of instruments that shouldn't work together

811
01:13:05,000 --> 01:13:07,000
Scrap lowers the ramp

812
01:13:07,000 --> 01:13:13,000
Yo, did you make this? This is so rad! Aw, she's a beaut, dude

813
01:13:13,000 --> 01:13:15,000
Yeah, thanks

814
01:13:15,000 --> 01:13:19,000
I'm building myself, I'm getting off this planet

815
01:13:19,000 --> 01:13:22,000
Me too! I mean, if you can give me a ride

816
01:13:22,000 --> 01:13:25,000
I'm happy to, if you want to go have some adventures throughout the galaxy

817
01:13:25,000 --> 01:13:28,000
I want to run and never look back

818
01:13:28,000 --> 01:13:30,000
Welcome aboard to the Patchwork

819
01:13:30,000 --> 01:13:32,000
Sorry, what's your name?

820
01:13:35,000 --> 01:13:37,000
I-I...

821
01:13:37,000 --> 01:13:40,000
I don't want to say that right now

822
01:13:40,000 --> 01:13:44,000
When you come aboard, I got something that I kind of want you to look at

823
01:13:44,000 --> 01:13:47,000
It's a puzzle that I haven't quite figured out yet

824
01:13:47,000 --> 01:13:49,000
I found this weird crystal

825
01:13:49,000 --> 01:13:51,000
Do you know anything about it?

826
01:13:51,000 --> 01:13:53,000
Ike's crystal

827
01:13:53,000 --> 01:13:55,000
Who?

828
01:13:55,000 --> 01:13:57,000
Never mind, yeah

829
01:13:57,000 --> 01:14:00,000
If you know anything about it, that'll save us a lot of time

830
01:14:00,000 --> 01:14:04,000
We could sell it for a lot of money and we could basically just live free

831
01:14:04,000 --> 01:14:08,000
Flying through the galaxy with no one hurting us, that'd be fun

832
01:14:08,000 --> 01:14:10,000
I think it was

833
01:14:12,000 --> 01:14:15,000
Yeah, where's the crystal, dude?

834
01:14:15,000 --> 01:14:23,000
It picks it up, small, palm-sized, these weird swirls and it throws it to you

835
01:14:24,000 --> 01:14:28,000
I don't know why, but I kind of want to name it Spot

836
01:14:29,000 --> 01:14:33,000
It seems to give like a...

837
01:14:33,000 --> 01:14:36,000
Like a weird amount of power

838
01:14:36,000 --> 01:14:42,000
When I found it, it was basically charged an entire drift lockdown all by itself

839
01:14:42,000 --> 01:14:45,000
Do you know where we could find more of these?

840
01:14:45,000 --> 01:14:49,000
Dude, I don't know, I think we found this one by accident

841
01:14:50,000 --> 01:14:52,000
Wait

842
01:14:53,000 --> 01:14:58,000
Um, you know what, you take this crystal back

843
01:15:01,000 --> 01:15:04,000
Sorry, my brain's in a really weird place

844
01:15:04,000 --> 01:15:12,000
It's been a really long and kind of earth-shattering day

845
01:15:14,000 --> 01:15:16,000
Yeah, days are like that

846
01:15:16,000 --> 01:15:19,000
Yeah, most days have been

847
01:15:20,000 --> 01:15:23,000
But today in particular, I don't want to look at this crystal

848
01:15:23,000 --> 01:15:30,000
I don't want to talk anymore, I don't want to say my name, just put me through the loop again

849
01:15:30,000 --> 01:15:33,000
Tell me about the crystal

850
01:15:40,000 --> 01:15:45,000
I don't think my friends would want me to do that

851
01:15:45,000 --> 01:15:47,000
They can

852
01:15:47,000 --> 01:15:51,000
If you tell me, we can rerun the loop

853
01:15:51,000 --> 01:15:54,000
You can fly with them

854
01:15:54,000 --> 01:15:57,000
No harm will come to you

855
01:15:57,000 --> 01:16:00,000
Tell me about the crystal

856
01:16:03,000 --> 01:16:06,000
Nah, just...

857
01:16:06,000 --> 01:16:09,000
Just keep it going

858
01:16:12,000 --> 01:16:13,000
Theriac!

859
01:16:13,000 --> 01:16:15,000
You are!

860
01:16:17,000 --> 01:16:19,000
Scrapper's gone and set up

861
01:16:19,000 --> 01:16:24,000
They have given you a text saying that they arrived at the patchwork

862
01:16:24,000 --> 01:16:32,000
They have grabbed a small makeshift laptop, big bulky, half the keys have been torn off of it

863
01:16:32,000 --> 01:16:38,000
Has a cable that has what seems to be like a sucker at the end of it

864
01:16:38,000 --> 01:16:45,000
They make their way down to a bench right next to Helium looking at the Heth ship

865
01:16:45,000 --> 01:16:51,000
Your plan was to approach the other ship?

866
01:16:51,000 --> 01:16:55,000
To get to the other crew, is that correct?

867
01:16:55,000 --> 01:17:00,000
So the original plan was for Scrap to go to the other team

868
01:17:00,000 --> 01:17:04,000
And then we modulated so that we would just go onto the ship together

869
01:17:04,000 --> 01:17:08,000
And then now that Scrap went back to keep an eye out

870
01:17:08,000 --> 01:17:11,000
Why did Scrap go back to the patchwork again?

871
01:17:11,000 --> 01:17:16,000
To get a laptop so they could hack into the Heth ship just in case everything went wrong

872
01:17:16,000 --> 01:17:18,000
In case things went to shit, okay

873
01:17:18,000 --> 01:17:25,000
So I think Theriac at this point will put aside the other crew as a complicating factor

874
01:17:25,000 --> 01:17:27,000
And just go directly to a superior officer

875
01:17:27,000 --> 01:17:30,000
There are three people who are currently here

876
01:17:30,000 --> 01:17:35,000
Two are in this green bulky heavy armor

877
01:17:35,000 --> 01:17:41,000
And one of them is in this green but tinted with white

878
01:17:41,000 --> 01:17:44,000
They have a lot of medallions down one side of their arm

879
01:17:44,000 --> 01:17:46,000
And they have their helmet off, more importantly

880
01:17:46,000 --> 01:17:50,000
They're talking amongst themselves, but you can assume that this person is a superior officer

881
01:17:50,000 --> 01:17:55,000
Alright, Theriac will walk onto the scene

882
01:17:55,000 --> 01:17:58,000
And call it... Excuse me, pardon

883
01:17:58,000 --> 01:18:03,000
Are you the superior officer in charge of this scene?

884
01:18:03,000 --> 01:18:06,000
Yeah, that's me, how can I help?

885
01:18:06,000 --> 01:18:20,000
Was there a large lava-like figure, a human teenage delinquent, and a small quirky rat?

886
01:18:20,000 --> 01:18:25,000
Yes, we just put them into stasis and arrested them, moving them on board the ship

887
01:18:25,000 --> 01:18:28,000
My name is Dr. Theriac, I am their employer

888
01:18:28,000 --> 01:18:31,000
Okay, did you employ them to attack us?

889
01:18:31,000 --> 01:18:37,000
No, I came to discuss what had happened

890
01:18:37,000 --> 01:18:42,000
I've only heard eyewitness reports of what occurred, I was inside of Helium

891
01:18:42,000 --> 01:18:50,000
And I also was told that you had also brought into your handling a specific item of ours?

892
01:18:50,000 --> 01:18:53,000
Right, so here's what happened

893
01:18:53,000 --> 01:19:02,000
We had stopped off here to refuel, we heard noises of combat in this area

894
01:19:02,000 --> 01:19:07,000
We came out, there were two parties, one which is still inside of this ship

895
01:19:07,000 --> 01:19:11,000
You see the honey golden ship with all the medallions on it

896
01:19:11,000 --> 01:19:18,000
And the other party, who we were able to apprehend and move back to our ship

897
01:19:18,000 --> 01:19:24,000
This item in question seems to be what they were fighting over, and we took that

898
01:19:24,000 --> 01:19:35,000
And that's in our custody until my superior tells me what to do with specifically this ship and your employees

899
01:19:35,000 --> 01:19:42,000
Alright, well, that cargo is jurisdiction technically of Wild Times

900
01:19:42,000 --> 01:19:45,000
We were to bring it onto a dune for further research

901
01:19:45,000 --> 01:19:55,000
I also tried to... I went onto your heath ship and the system asked that I get a superior officer to discuss

902
01:19:55,000 --> 01:19:59,000
Would you be willing to assist with that?

903
01:19:59,000 --> 01:20:07,000
This is just a very confidential situation and we are trying to make sure that this is kept under lock and key

904
01:20:07,000 --> 01:20:15,000
I mean, I could, but there's a lot of paperwork involved with me allowing people that were in open combat off

905
01:20:15,000 --> 01:20:22,000
I assume you want your people to be freed and you want the cargo as you put it back

906
01:20:22,000 --> 01:20:24,000
Yes, that is correct

907
01:20:24,000 --> 01:20:28,000
I mean, we can talk about it on the ship if you'd like

908
01:20:28,000 --> 01:20:30,000
I would be more than willing to, yes

909
01:20:30,000 --> 01:20:38,000
Technically, they are under the... the people that were apprehended are crewmates of a captain who I technically employed

910
01:20:38,000 --> 01:20:45,000
And he came with the rest of that crew. His name is Scrap. Would it be alright if he joined with us?

911
01:20:45,000 --> 01:20:50,000
I don't know if I could do anything because, you know, there's a lot of...

912
01:20:50,000 --> 01:20:57,000
I understand that there's a hierarchy, yes. I'm simply trying to find any way to expedite this process, if possible

913
01:20:57,000 --> 01:21:02,000
Do you have paperwork of your involvement with this world times and their employees?

914
01:21:02,000 --> 01:21:07,000
Oh, of my paperwork as well. Yes, we'll pull up their contract work

915
01:21:07,000 --> 01:21:10,000
I'm actually the co-founder. This is a personal project for me

916
01:21:10,000 --> 01:21:17,000
But I also have the paperwork for... it will swipe up for all of the people that were apprehended

917
01:21:17,000 --> 01:21:23,000
They edged a walk with them. You get to... you get close to the Heth ship. It's not that far of a walk

918
01:21:23,000 --> 01:21:30,000
It moves mostly in silence. There are a lot of money in co-founding a park

919
01:21:30,000 --> 01:21:38,000
Um... yes. I mean, it's deviated largely from what I intended it to be

920
01:21:38,000 --> 01:21:44,000
But there's lots of options for merchandising, for lodging, for guests who are staying more than one day

921
01:21:44,000 --> 01:21:49,000
It's... it's... it's... it's good

922
01:21:49,000 --> 01:21:56,000
You know, it's... it's... it's... this is definitely a difficult conversation for me because, you know

923
01:21:56,000 --> 01:22:03,000
I understand. And I apologize if they inflicted harm onto any of you

924
01:22:03,000 --> 01:22:10,000
But I know that some of my higher-ups would be happy with someone who's in a position like yours

925
01:22:10,000 --> 01:22:17,000
Running a big park. They would enjoy having someone to call and contact when it comes to things like advertising

926
01:22:17,000 --> 01:22:20,000
You said you did a lot of merchandise

927
01:22:20,000 --> 01:22:25,000
For... for the... for Hethna?

928
01:22:25,000 --> 01:22:28,000
We're always looking for new recruits

929
01:22:28,000 --> 01:22:38,000
Sure. Yes. Yes. Um... I will also fully disclose. I am the co-founder and the head of the scientific division

930
01:22:38,000 --> 01:22:42,000
There will also be a bit of a hierarchy on my end

931
01:22:42,000 --> 01:22:46,000
So you said you had the captain of the ship? Where are they?

932
01:22:46,000 --> 01:22:50,000
Yes. And as we're walking, I think the Iraq will like, beckon

933
01:22:50,000 --> 01:22:53,000
Scrap closes a little laptop and then... and wanders over

934
01:22:53,000 --> 01:22:57,000
Officer, this is Captain Scrap of the Patchwork

935
01:22:57,000 --> 01:23:04,000
So... are we letting our friends and our employees out?

936
01:23:04,000 --> 01:23:07,000
Yes. We are... we are in the midst of negotiations

937
01:23:07,000 --> 01:23:11,000
When are you coming aboard the ship?

938
01:23:11,000 --> 01:23:19,000
They move into a... they move into the... into the pilot's chamber and they sit in the captain's seat

939
01:23:19,000 --> 01:23:26,000
Offering the other seats that do a full 360 swivel so you can turn... they offer them to you

940
01:23:26,000 --> 01:23:31,000
So the main thing that I'm worried about is... is... it's not necessarily the crime this is the galaxy

941
01:23:31,000 --> 01:23:34,000
Things get heated. We understand that more than anyone

942
01:23:34,000 --> 01:23:41,000
The object in possession, that you were in possession of, that your team was in possession of

943
01:23:41,000 --> 01:23:48,000
We are currently doing scans on it because we were unsure of what it is

944
01:23:48,000 --> 01:23:53,000
Whether it was a weapon or some form of explosive device

945
01:23:53,000 --> 01:23:57,000
We weren't sure what the... what it was

946
01:23:57,000 --> 01:24:03,000
So I don't think that we could give that back to you

947
01:24:03,000 --> 01:24:10,000
But your friends we can... employees... we can discuss definitely

948
01:24:10,000 --> 01:24:15,000
Now I... though I have had limited resources to study the crystal itself

949
01:24:15,000 --> 01:24:21,000
I have been able to determine that this is a very interesting and...

950
01:24:21,000 --> 01:24:24,000
Well, you called it an object

951
01:24:24,000 --> 01:24:28,000
That's not necessarily true

952
01:24:28,000 --> 01:24:31,000
We believe this to be a living organism

953
01:24:31,000 --> 01:24:35,000
Hence why we were bringing it back to Wildtimes for further research

954
01:24:35,000 --> 01:24:41,000
Now I understand that this... this must be very difficult for you since we have possession of it

955
01:24:41,000 --> 01:24:43,000
And you would like this

956
01:24:43,000 --> 01:24:51,000
Yes, I also understand that you also have my employees in your... in your custody

957
01:24:51,000 --> 01:24:55,000
So my hands are pretty tied when it comes to giving you back the things

958
01:24:55,000 --> 01:24:59,000
Especially considering the circumstances in which we took them

959
01:24:59,000 --> 01:25:04,000
So I can't think of any... reason

960
01:25:04,000 --> 01:25:07,000
Do you have a reason?

961
01:25:07,000 --> 01:25:11,000
Well...

962
01:25:11,000 --> 01:25:15,000
Theoretic will pull up their contract

963
01:25:15,000 --> 01:25:18,000
According to article 26 of subsection B

964
01:25:18,000 --> 01:25:22,000
Anything that I find and that my crew finds therein

965
01:25:22,000 --> 01:25:27,000
Or any excursion directly tied to Wildtimes

966
01:25:27,000 --> 01:25:31,000
Is property of Wildtimes LLSE

967
01:25:31,000 --> 01:25:34,000
So when I say my things

968
01:25:34,000 --> 01:25:37,000
I mean that I found them

969
01:25:37,000 --> 01:25:41,000
The property or organism itself

970
01:25:41,000 --> 01:25:44,000
If we were to be technical

971
01:25:44,000 --> 01:25:46,000
Does not belong to me

972
01:25:46,000 --> 01:25:49,000
It belongs to Wildtimes

973
01:25:49,000 --> 01:25:55,000
As such I will have to file a claim with my superiors at Wildtimes and discuss the complications of

974
01:25:55,000 --> 01:25:58,000
This particular organism being kept within custody

975
01:25:58,000 --> 01:26:03,000
And that might also cause a lot of headaches

976
01:26:03,000 --> 01:26:06,000
See the same amount of headaches would occur for me

977
01:26:06,000 --> 01:26:09,000
If I was to give this... this crystal

978
01:26:09,000 --> 01:26:11,000
And this crew

979
01:26:11,000 --> 01:26:14,000
Back to you and although

980
01:26:14,000 --> 01:26:19,000
Yes, this crystal was your property to begin with

981
01:26:19,000 --> 01:26:24,000
It is of high interest to my superiors

982
01:26:24,000 --> 01:26:28,000
Is there any way

983
01:26:28,000 --> 01:26:31,000
We can somehow sweeten the pot?

984
01:26:31,000 --> 01:26:35,000
Is there something that perhaps that we could

985
01:26:35,000 --> 01:26:38,000
Give to you or your team in order to

986
01:26:38,000 --> 01:26:42,000
Make this a more equitable trade?

987
01:26:42,000 --> 01:26:47,000
As a member of the Heth I don't have a lot of need for money and credits

988
01:26:47,000 --> 01:26:51,000
That's quite beyond me, especially my position

989
01:26:51,000 --> 01:26:55,000
We have a group of people

990
01:26:55,000 --> 01:26:59,000
On this... in this docking port whose ship is

991
01:26:59,000 --> 01:27:02,000
Closed and locked down and refuse to open their doors

992
01:27:02,000 --> 01:27:06,000
Our gear isn't good enough to get it open without

993
01:27:06,000 --> 01:27:11,000
Blowing a hole in half of the docking port

994
01:27:11,000 --> 01:27:14,000
We are also moving

995
01:27:14,000 --> 01:27:18,000
We are moving to part of the galaxy that

996
01:27:18,000 --> 01:27:22,000
Requires us to apprehend

997
01:27:22,000 --> 01:27:25,000
A certain group of people

998
01:27:25,000 --> 01:27:27,000
So I can give you an offer

999
01:27:27,000 --> 01:27:29,000
We can have this all done today

1000
01:27:29,000 --> 01:27:33,000
And you can find a way to get that ship door open

1001
01:27:33,000 --> 01:27:37,000
So we can go in and take the other people who you yourself

1002
01:27:37,000 --> 01:27:40,000
Have said there was an altercation and

1003
01:27:40,000 --> 01:27:43,000
You know, we can say that they started it

1004
01:27:43,000 --> 01:27:47,000
I can give you back your team or

1005
01:27:47,000 --> 01:27:51,000
I can give you our assignment

1006
01:27:51,000 --> 01:27:54,000
And you can fulfill that

1007
01:27:54,000 --> 01:27:56,000
This is incredibly generous, I would like to thank you

1008
01:27:56,000 --> 01:27:59,000
What is your name again? I apologize, I should have asked

1009
01:27:59,000 --> 01:28:01,000
Sidra

1010
01:28:01,000 --> 01:28:05,000
Officer Sidra, I think that is very fair

1011
01:28:05,000 --> 01:28:10,000
Our team has the capabilities to do what you request

1012
01:28:10,000 --> 01:28:14,000
We have quite a few people very skilled in technology that I myself lack

1013
01:28:14,000 --> 01:28:17,000
Part of why I hire this group

1014
01:28:17,000 --> 01:28:21,000
I would need to discuss with them the terms that

1015
01:28:21,000 --> 01:28:23,000
They are going to be bound to

1016
01:28:23,000 --> 01:28:25,000
As per our own internal Q&A

1017
01:28:25,000 --> 01:28:29,000
Well, you have yourself here who seems to be a spokesperson and the captain

1018
01:28:29,000 --> 01:28:36,000
I imagine the spokesperson and the captain can probably come to an agreement

1019
01:28:36,000 --> 01:28:38,000
It turns to Scrap

1020
01:28:38,000 --> 01:28:42,000
Can you roll me a sense motive for Scrap please, Syriac?

1021
01:28:42,000 --> 01:28:44,000
I'm very good at that, I would love to

1022
01:28:44,000 --> 01:28:46,000
For sense motive

1023
01:28:46,000 --> 01:28:48,000
For sense motive

1024
01:28:48,000 --> 01:28:50,000
So sense motive

1025
01:28:50,000 --> 01:28:54,000
Oh, that's just a little 22

1026
01:28:54,000 --> 01:28:58,000
You can tell from their jittery nature

1027
01:28:58,000 --> 01:29:01,000
That they, on their face you can read

1028
01:29:01,000 --> 01:29:05,000
That they would rather not do either plan

1029
01:29:05,000 --> 01:29:08,000
They're on the ship, there is someone with clearance

1030
01:29:08,000 --> 01:29:11,000
And Scrap has already stated that this is hackable

1031
01:29:11,000 --> 01:29:13,000
So the options are

1032
01:29:13,000 --> 01:29:15,000
Get the crew and item back

1033
01:29:15,000 --> 01:29:17,000
And the crystal back

1034
01:29:17,000 --> 01:29:19,000
And open the door

1035
01:29:19,000 --> 01:29:23,000
Get the crew and crystal back and do that mission that the HEF was supposed to go on

1036
01:29:23,000 --> 01:29:26,000
Wait and hack into the ship itself

1037
01:29:26,000 --> 01:29:28,000
That is one

1038
01:29:28,000 --> 01:29:29,000
Definitely

1039
01:29:29,000 --> 01:29:31,000
Scrap also

1040
01:29:31,000 --> 01:29:33,000
You notice whilst looking at them

1041
01:29:33,000 --> 01:29:38,000
The holster to their pistol is undone

1042
01:29:38,000 --> 01:29:40,000
And they are

1043
01:29:40,000 --> 01:29:44,000
And the person who you're speaking to is currently not wearing a helmet

1044
01:29:44,000 --> 01:29:45,000
Oh yeah

1045
01:29:45,000 --> 01:29:46,000
That is option 4

1046
01:29:46,000 --> 01:29:48,000
Oh that is an option, huh

1047
01:29:50,000 --> 01:29:51,000
It will be loud

1048
01:29:51,000 --> 01:29:52,000
It will be loud

1049
01:29:52,000 --> 01:29:56,000
And it might go quite wrong

1050
01:29:56,000 --> 01:29:59,000
That's a lot of risk

1051
01:29:59,000 --> 01:30:01,000
That's a big, that's high risk

1052
01:30:01,000 --> 01:30:03,000
High risk, but it could be quicker

1053
01:30:03,000 --> 01:30:05,000
Not working for anyone

1054
01:30:05,000 --> 01:30:07,000
And you could get away scot free

1055
01:30:07,000 --> 01:30:09,000
You could get away real fast

1056
01:30:09,000 --> 01:30:11,000
Yeah, but then I'm one

1057
01:30:11,000 --> 01:30:13,000
Now I'm part of this

1058
01:30:15,000 --> 01:30:17,000
That's the worst part of it, absolutely

1059
01:30:17,000 --> 01:30:19,000
Because now it's not smallpox

1060
01:30:19,000 --> 01:30:21,000
This is Dr. Theriac

1061
01:30:21,000 --> 01:30:23,000
Of Wild Times

1062
01:30:23,000 --> 01:30:26,000
Scrap has previously mentioned that he can scrub the data

1063
01:30:26,000 --> 01:30:33,000
You said, like Theriac did mention that it might be being led to a great, like it uploaded to a different feed

1064
01:30:33,000 --> 01:30:39,000
But Scrap has previously mentioned that they believe that they can probably hack into this and scrub the data

1065
01:30:39,000 --> 01:30:44,000
But again, that could lead to a spicy situation

1066
01:30:44,000 --> 01:30:46,000
Okay, so the options are

1067
01:30:46,000 --> 01:30:49,000
I'm just trying to get a read before I make any hasty decisions

1068
01:30:49,000 --> 01:30:50,000
Absolutely

1069
01:30:50,000 --> 01:30:52,000
The options are

1070
01:30:52,000 --> 01:30:54,000
Open the door and get everyone back

1071
01:30:54,000 --> 01:30:57,000
Do that mission and get everyone back

1072
01:30:57,000 --> 01:31:01,000
Wait until later and then hack them all out more discreetly

1073
01:31:01,000 --> 01:31:03,000
Or just shoot the officer now

1074
01:31:03,000 --> 01:31:05,000
Shoot the officer now and just run

1075
01:31:05,000 --> 01:31:09,000
And just run and gun it and book it back to Adun as fast as possible

1076
01:31:09,000 --> 01:31:15,000
You know, aside from this officer, there is one person aboard

1077
01:31:15,000 --> 01:31:20,000
However, you also know from yelling and knocking around in the ship earlier

1078
01:31:20,000 --> 01:31:25,000
That they are pretty much, like, unaware

1079
01:31:25,000 --> 01:31:27,000
You don't know why

1080
01:31:27,000 --> 01:31:29,000
I'm gonna meta allow you to know that knowledge

1081
01:31:29,000 --> 01:31:33,000
Oh, I know that they're fucking with the other

1082
01:31:33,000 --> 01:31:35,000
Yeah, they're like in the matrix

1083
01:31:35,000 --> 01:31:41,000
That's too big a risk to have another person on board

1084
01:31:41,000 --> 01:31:44,000
We'll turn to Scrap

1085
01:31:44,000 --> 01:31:49,000
Actually, we'll turn back to Officer Citra

1086
01:31:49,000 --> 01:31:53,000
This isn't time sensitive, is it?

1087
01:31:53,000 --> 01:31:57,000
Could we have some time to perhaps think this over?

1088
01:31:57,000 --> 01:31:59,000
Thirty minutes

1089
01:31:59,000 --> 01:32:01,000
That's plenty of time

1090
01:32:01,000 --> 01:32:02,000
Thank you

1091
01:32:02,000 --> 01:32:04,000
Scrap, you look jittery

1092
01:32:04,000 --> 01:32:07,000
Do you need fresh air?

1093
01:32:07,000 --> 01:32:09,000
Yeah, I'd love a walk

1094
01:32:09,000 --> 01:32:11,000
Very well

1095
01:32:11,000 --> 01:32:13,000
Um, we'll get up

1096
01:32:13,000 --> 01:32:14,000
Do do do do do do do

1097
01:32:14,000 --> 01:32:18,000
All the way back down the ramp

1098
01:32:18,000 --> 01:32:20,000
Again

1099
01:32:20,000 --> 01:32:24,000
I know you are not fond of them

1100
01:32:24,000 --> 01:32:29,000
To be frank, I'm not either

1101
01:32:29,000 --> 01:32:34,000
But shoot, the officer right then?

1102
01:32:34,000 --> 01:32:36,000
Could we hack in right now?

1103
01:32:36,000 --> 01:32:40,000
But if we hack in, then the officer is gonna be alerted by the doors opening

1104
01:32:40,000 --> 01:32:43,000
Because that's the main goal is to open all the doors

1105
01:32:43,000 --> 01:32:48,000
Sure, and he would be there to apprehend them as they ran

1106
01:32:48,000 --> 01:32:53,000
How opposed are you to just opening the door to the other ship?

1107
01:32:53,000 --> 01:32:55,000
I'm not keen on the other mission

1108
01:32:55,000 --> 01:32:59,000
Because that's fully going out of our way to do another person's job

1109
01:32:59,000 --> 01:33:00,000
Yeah, no, fuck that

1110
01:33:00,000 --> 01:33:04,000
To do one single task is much more manageable

1111
01:33:04,000 --> 01:33:07,000
And we also do have to get back to a do

1112
01:33:07,000 --> 01:33:09,000
I don't know these people

1113
01:33:09,000 --> 01:33:13,000
You were fighting with them, they stole stuff from us

1114
01:33:13,000 --> 01:33:17,000
If you wanna sell them out to the Heth

1115
01:33:17,000 --> 01:33:19,000
Were they a group of skittermanders though?

1116
01:33:19,000 --> 01:33:21,000
They were skittermanders, five or six

1117
01:33:21,000 --> 01:33:23,000
One of them did get shot

1118
01:33:23,000 --> 01:33:26,000
There was a canid

1119
01:33:26,000 --> 01:33:36,000
And there was a teenage boy who did very much seem to take a keen eye to Skye

1120
01:33:36,000 --> 01:33:40,000
I mean, they seem to be getting along perfectly well

1121
01:33:40,000 --> 01:33:44,000
You gave them personalities and like a voice and face and stuff

1122
01:33:44,000 --> 01:33:47,000
I should not have done that

1123
01:33:47,000 --> 01:33:52,000
They're just kind of like real, they're forming in my mind

1124
01:33:52,000 --> 01:33:55,000
Now that they're actual humanoid people

1125
01:33:55,000 --> 01:33:58,000
Yeah, like the idea of...

1126
01:33:58,000 --> 01:34:05,000
It's okay, the idea of selling them into possibly having their mind wiped

1127
01:34:05,000 --> 01:34:07,000
That doesn't feel...

1128
01:34:07,000 --> 01:34:12,000
If I have learned anything from all of my time at Wild Times

1129
01:34:12,000 --> 01:34:17,000
Sometimes you must do things that don't feel great to get what needs to get done done

1130
01:34:20,000 --> 01:34:23,000
So we're gonna sell the other crew out?

1131
01:34:27,000 --> 01:34:29,000
I believe so

1132
01:34:29,000 --> 01:34:35,000
I think that's our safest bet

1133
01:34:35,000 --> 01:34:39,000
It's not morally upright, none of the options really are

1134
01:34:39,000 --> 01:34:43,000
I think Ike is gonna be real disappointed in us

1135
01:34:43,000 --> 01:34:46,000
I don't think Skye's too keen

1136
01:34:46,000 --> 01:34:49,000
Her friend just getting...

1137
01:34:49,000 --> 01:34:52,000
Alright, I'm gonna pitch this again

1138
01:34:52,000 --> 01:34:55,000
And I know that you've already set the universe to it

1139
01:34:55,000 --> 01:34:58,000
That's very fair, I've suggested a plan that you are not very keen on

1140
01:34:58,000 --> 01:35:00,000
How about a plan that I'm not very keen on?

1141
01:35:00,000 --> 01:35:04,000
I can hack into the ship, I can open all the doors

1142
01:35:04,000 --> 01:35:07,000
The officer comes out, questions what is happening

1143
01:35:07,000 --> 01:35:10,000
You run in, grab the crew

1144
01:35:10,000 --> 01:35:15,000
We pray to everything

1145
01:35:15,000 --> 01:35:22,000
That we can get out before the rest of the Heth show up

1146
01:35:22,000 --> 01:35:26,000
We don't have to sell anyone else out, nobody human dies

1147
01:35:26,000 --> 01:35:28,000
And you can scrub the data?

1148
01:35:28,000 --> 01:35:30,000
I think I can

1149
01:35:30,000 --> 01:35:36,000
Ah, damn my humanizing ways, we're going to kill some Heth

1150
01:35:36,000 --> 01:35:38,000
Okay, alright

1151
01:35:38,000 --> 01:35:40,000
Alright

1152
01:35:40,000 --> 01:35:41,000
Alright, okay

1153
01:35:41,000 --> 01:35:44,000
So, should I go talk to the officer to distract him?

1154
01:35:44,000 --> 01:35:46,000
Or does that not matter?

1155
01:35:46,000 --> 01:35:48,000
I don't think that matters

1156
01:35:48,000 --> 01:35:51,000
I can deal with that if you want to go in

1157
01:35:51,000 --> 01:35:54,000
And try to get the crew out

1158
01:35:54,000 --> 01:35:57,000
Oh lord, oh, I sound like Ike

1159
01:35:57,000 --> 01:35:59,000
You a good superstar?

1160
01:35:59,000 --> 01:36:02,000
Okay, I'm not a star, I'm a lexolite

1161
01:36:02,000 --> 01:36:04,000
I am botanical matter

1162
01:36:04,000 --> 01:36:09,000
You're botanical matter, and you're strong, and you're quick, and you're so smart

1163
01:36:09,000 --> 01:36:12,000
If I got into whatever that's going on, I would have no fucking clue how to do it

1164
01:36:12,000 --> 01:36:14,000
I can hack stuff, yes, but I'm not-

1165
01:36:14,000 --> 01:36:16,000
Please stop blowing up my roots, it's a little much

1166
01:36:16,000 --> 01:36:19,000
I'm just trying to hype you up, I feel like this is a high-tent situation

1167
01:36:19,000 --> 01:36:21,000
Okay, I apologize

1168
01:36:21,000 --> 01:36:24,000
When my signal goes, run in, get the crew, okay?

1169
01:36:24,000 --> 01:36:29,000
Scrap takes out the laptop, shoves the sucker part of the cord from their laptop onto the ship

1170
01:36:29,000 --> 01:36:33,000
Types in a few things, and then- okay, right, you ready?

1171
01:36:33,000 --> 01:36:36,000
We'll grab the little injector, just in case

1172
01:36:36,000 --> 01:36:38,000
I'm gonna go aboard the ship, I'm gonna deal with the officer, alright?

1173
01:36:38,000 --> 01:36:40,000
And then that's your cue to go

1174
01:36:40,000 --> 01:36:43,000
Okay, clicks enter, there's like a small loading screen

1175
01:36:43,000 --> 01:36:47,000
Old, like, Macintosh green pixel bar going up

1176
01:36:47,000 --> 01:36:51,000
The ship's red light dims, and then raises

1177
01:36:51,000 --> 01:36:54,000
Again, it starts pulsing, and Scrap's like, whew

1178
01:36:54,000 --> 01:36:58,000
Scrap walks aboard, and the officer walks out of the office

1179
01:36:58,000 --> 01:37:00,000
Uh, what the hell's going on?

1180
01:37:00,000 --> 01:37:03,000
Oh, sorry, I just realized, I know who stole our stuff

1181
01:37:03,000 --> 01:37:05,000
It was a goblin

1182
01:37:05,000 --> 01:37:07,000
Uh, goblin?

1183
01:37:07,000 --> 01:37:09,000
Yeah, a goblin these nuts

1184
01:37:09,000 --> 01:37:13,000
And Scrap pulls out his pistol, and shoots the officer in the head

1185
01:37:13,000 --> 01:37:17,000
This is the best show on TV!

1186
01:37:17,000 --> 01:37:19,000
Goblin nuts!

1187
01:37:25,000 --> 01:37:28,000
Skye, how do you want this memory to start?

1188
01:37:28,000 --> 01:37:32,000
Same as it always does, buddy boy

1189
01:37:32,000 --> 01:37:37,000
The muck-ridden rain pelts against you as you hobble through the lower deck streets

1190
01:37:37,000 --> 01:37:42,000
Your broken leg has carried you this far, but patrols still search for you

1191
01:37:42,000 --> 01:37:46,000
Your blood-soaked hand holds a piece of paper with a meeting place

1192
01:37:46,000 --> 01:37:51,000
The words Scrap in a number is scribbled in hurried font

1193
01:37:51,000 --> 01:37:56,000
You follow the neon streets, till you can see a hole in the muck sky

1194
01:37:56,000 --> 01:38:02,000
Large mechs throw debris from the clean upper decks down into a broken pile in the lower decks

1195
01:38:02,000 --> 01:38:08,000
You approach a large makeshift sign saying, Scrap Scrapyard, that hangs above a gate

1196
01:38:08,000 --> 01:38:11,000
A piece of paper taped to the gate says, if you need me, no you don't

1197
01:38:11,000 --> 01:38:13,000
If it's an emergency, it can wait

1198
01:38:13,000 --> 01:38:14,000
What are you doing?

1199
01:38:14,000 --> 01:38:18,000
Scrap, Scrap, please let me in

1200
01:38:18,000 --> 01:38:23,000
The door opens on its own

1201
01:38:23,000 --> 01:38:30,000
What's up, dude? I'm here to, you know, escape the consequences of my actions

1202
01:38:30,000 --> 01:38:32,000
Just like a bad person would

1203
01:38:32,000 --> 01:38:40,000
Where's the ship? Need some engines? I'll do whatever it takes to run away from my problems

1204
01:38:40,000 --> 01:38:42,000
Nah, the ship's already built

1205
01:38:42,000 --> 01:38:45,000
It's already to fly if you are

1206
01:38:45,000 --> 01:38:48,000
Then let's go

1207
01:38:48,000 --> 01:38:51,000
Come hop aboard

1208
01:38:51,000 --> 01:38:56,000
Scrap walks up the ramp onto the ship

1209
01:38:56,000 --> 01:39:00,000
It looks just like it did the first time you went on it

1210
01:39:00,000 --> 01:39:07,000
It's not as used, but also not as pleasant at the same time

1211
01:39:07,000 --> 01:39:09,000
Not as lived in

1212
01:39:09,000 --> 01:39:16,000
Semblances of a place that could be home, but it's not quite loved enough yet

1213
01:39:16,000 --> 01:39:21,000
Ready to fly?

1214
01:39:21,000 --> 01:39:26,000
I think so

1215
01:39:26,000 --> 01:39:35,000
Is it a noise as the ramp raises behind you?

1216
01:39:35,000 --> 01:39:38,000
You can go anywhere you want

1217
01:39:38,000 --> 01:39:39,000
You can fly anywhere

1218
01:39:39,000 --> 01:39:43,000
No I can't

1219
01:39:43,000 --> 01:39:46,000
No I can't

1220
01:39:46,000 --> 01:39:53,000
But, try and get as far as possible

1221
01:39:53,000 --> 01:39:59,000
I don't know what else to do

1222
01:39:59,000 --> 01:40:03,000
So you're just gonna run like you always have?

1223
01:40:03,000 --> 01:40:06,000
Doesn't seem to have worked out so far

1224
01:40:06,000 --> 01:40:09,000
No!

1225
01:40:09,000 --> 01:40:12,000
No it hasn't

1226
01:40:12,000 --> 01:40:17,000
Can't think of anything else to do in that big ol' brain of yours

1227
01:40:17,000 --> 01:40:22,000
No Scrap! I don't have a big brain! I'm an idiot!

1228
01:40:22,000 --> 01:40:26,000
I'm just a kid, dude!

1229
01:40:26,000 --> 01:40:31,000
I've done something that can't be taken back

1230
01:40:31,000 --> 01:40:36,000
So no, I don't know what else I can do because I don't think there is anything that I can

1231
01:40:36,000 --> 01:40:40,000
To just fly the ship

1232
01:40:40,000 --> 01:40:44,000
You know I'm not Scrap, right?

1233
01:40:44,000 --> 01:40:46,000
Yeah

1234
01:40:46,000 --> 01:40:49,000
And the ship doesn't go anywhere?

1235
01:40:49,000 --> 01:40:59,000
Yeah, this just... I don't know, feels awful, but better than being happy

1236
01:40:59,000 --> 01:41:03,000
I don't know, this feels right

1237
01:41:03,000 --> 01:41:06,000
It feels like what I deserve

1238
01:41:06,000 --> 01:41:09,000
I messed up

1239
01:41:09,000 --> 01:41:15,000
I messed up because grown-ups told me who I should be before I even knew who I was supposed to be

1240
01:41:15,000 --> 01:41:22,000
And they told me what I should do to make my life better and to make other people's lives better

1241
01:41:22,000 --> 01:41:28,000
And I messed up and I did something bad

1242
01:41:28,000 --> 01:41:32,000
And I just feel like the bad's gonna stick

1243
01:41:32,000 --> 01:41:35,000
So I just feel like this is what I deserve

1244
01:41:35,000 --> 01:41:40,000
Because it's great and all that I messed up my life before it even started

1245
01:41:40,000 --> 01:41:45,000
But they don't have a life anymore

1246
01:41:45,000 --> 01:41:51,000
Yeah, this does feel right

1247
01:41:51,000 --> 01:41:56,000
Okay, so if you don't want to play anymore, what's happening here?

1248
01:41:56,000 --> 01:42:02,000
Something with what I did

1249
01:42:02,000 --> 01:42:05,000
I don't think there's anyone listening anymore

1250
01:42:05,000 --> 01:42:08,000
I think it's just us

1251
01:42:08,000 --> 01:42:10,000
I think it's just you

1252
01:42:10,000 --> 01:42:12,000
You can't be me, I don't even know who I am

1253
01:42:12,000 --> 01:42:14,000
How are you supposed to know who I am?

1254
01:42:14,000 --> 01:42:17,000
And it's all great that I'm trying to figure myself out

1255
01:42:17,000 --> 01:42:21,000
You know, the person that I missed out on for 17 years

1256
01:42:21,000 --> 01:42:25,000
But every time I do that, every time I feel genuine joy

1257
01:42:25,000 --> 01:42:28,000
And like, I know myself better

1258
01:42:28,000 --> 01:42:33,000
And I just think about the voice of their mom in my head

1259
01:42:33,000 --> 01:42:36,000
Or their partner or their sister telling me that I don't deserve it

1260
01:42:36,000 --> 01:42:40,000
Because they lost that person

1261
01:42:40,000 --> 01:42:45,000
And I don't think I do

1262
01:42:45,000 --> 01:42:48,000
Am I in hell, am I dead, or am I not?

1263
01:42:48,000 --> 01:42:54,000
You're alive on a Heth ship, you think

1264
01:42:54,000 --> 01:43:02,000
They're trying to find information, replay the same moments

1265
01:43:02,000 --> 01:43:04,000
Apparently they think you're important enough

1266
01:43:04,000 --> 01:43:08,000
But I can keep playing

1267
01:43:08,000 --> 01:43:10,000
Yeah, keep it going

1268
01:43:10,000 --> 01:43:14,000
Oh, it's salad time!

1269
01:43:14,000 --> 01:43:18,000
Flicks up some switches and then the ship

1270
01:43:18,000 --> 01:43:22,000
And the world seems to like, pour through the skylight

1271
01:43:22,000 --> 01:43:24,000
And through the pilot's chair

1272
01:43:24,000 --> 01:43:26,000
The saga seems to melt and burn away

1273
01:43:26,000 --> 01:43:32,000
And the atomless sea stretches out

1274
01:43:32,000 --> 01:43:41,000
Flying through this color-filled world

1275
01:43:41,000 --> 01:43:45,000
Eig, is um

1276
01:43:45,000 --> 01:43:50,000
Give me a computers or intelligence check, please

1277
01:43:50,000 --> 01:43:52,000
Unnatural 20

1278
01:43:52,000 --> 01:43:54,000
Great

1279
01:43:54,000 --> 01:43:57,000
What? You got an unnatural 22?

1280
01:43:57,000 --> 01:43:59,000
Yeah

1281
01:43:59,000 --> 01:44:08,000
The patchwork flies through the sea

1282
01:44:08,000 --> 01:44:13,000
It lands on the Leviathan's Eye

1283
01:44:13,000 --> 01:44:17,000
It's loud, busy, there are kids running around

1284
01:44:17,000 --> 01:44:20,000
People are eating food, the rollercoaster is going

1285
01:44:20,000 --> 01:44:26,000
But everything is met with this echo-y din

1286
01:44:26,000 --> 01:44:32,000
It ends just as it begins, the echo is broken

1287
01:44:32,000 --> 01:44:39,000
Scrap walks over to a cart

1288
01:44:39,000 --> 01:44:44,000
Asks a sullen, sunken man for some candy floss

1289
01:44:44,000 --> 01:44:47,000
And picks out two sticks

1290
01:44:47,000 --> 01:44:51,000
Hands one over to you

1291
01:44:51,000 --> 01:44:57,000
You bite in and it is cold

1292
01:44:57,000 --> 01:44:59,000
It's dusty

1293
01:44:59,000 --> 01:45:05,000
It is flavorless

1294
01:45:05,000 --> 01:45:11,000
Eig, you see sky

1295
01:45:11,000 --> 01:45:16,000
In this constructed space

1296
01:45:16,000 --> 01:45:20,000
Like you constructed your own and the patchwork

1297
01:45:20,000 --> 01:45:25,000
And shipped Azam aboard

1298
01:45:25,000 --> 01:45:29,000
Azam, you see sky

1299
01:45:29,000 --> 01:45:39,000
And you see her eating candy floss with a shimmering broken scrap

1300
01:45:39,000 --> 01:45:46,000
These people who step and walk around, they don't walk correctly

1301
01:45:46,000 --> 01:45:53,000
Walking in a almost a low latency way

1302
01:45:53,000 --> 01:45:59,000
Too many steps for how slow they're walking

1303
01:45:59,000 --> 01:46:04,000
I would like to scurry over to sky

1304
01:46:04,000 --> 01:46:08,000
And as I do I put up little hand blinders

1305
01:46:08,000 --> 01:46:10,000
As I'm not looking

1306
01:46:10,000 --> 01:46:15,000
Sky, hi, it's me, it's really me, like actually me

1307
01:46:15,000 --> 01:46:22,000
I don't know if you saw me in any other capacity but if you did, this is the real one, hi

1308
01:46:22,000 --> 01:46:28,000
Azam walks up beside Eig and then sits down on the bench beside sky

1309
01:46:28,000 --> 01:46:31,000
So you already know this isn't real, right?

1310
01:46:31,000 --> 01:46:38,000
Yeah, this one's not real

1311
01:46:38,000 --> 01:46:40,000
So what do you want to do?

1312
01:46:40,000 --> 01:46:41,000
Are you real?

1313
01:46:41,000 --> 01:46:43,000
I'd like to think so, yeah

1314
01:46:43,000 --> 01:46:46,000
That's really Azam, yeah

1315
01:46:46,000 --> 01:46:53,000
I got us in through the computer they're using to do all this

1316
01:46:53,000 --> 01:47:05,000
And we're hoping that Dr. Theoriak and Scrap are maybe coming this way

1317
01:47:05,000 --> 01:47:10,000
Eig, Eig, this isn't one of the memories you can just drop, yeah

1318
01:47:10,000 --> 01:47:12,000
Alright

1319
01:47:12,000 --> 01:47:15,000
Yeah, no, I never went to theme parks

1320
01:47:15,000 --> 01:47:27,000
Seeing these two, you hear gunshots and there's like, of loud desperate wails

1321
01:47:27,000 --> 01:47:36,000
You see these people, all the residents of the park, their faces being slightly melted, slugs are covering them

1322
01:47:36,000 --> 01:47:42,000
You see yourself back on the Leviathan's eye

1323
01:47:42,000 --> 01:47:47,000
You are getting surrounded, you ran off to ride this broken rollercoaster

1324
01:47:47,000 --> 01:47:53,000
I'd like to cough, spit up blood and go, bummer

1325
01:47:53,000 --> 01:47:55,000
And even though you told them to leave

1326
01:47:55,000 --> 01:47:58,000
I'd like to get up, holding my side

1327
01:47:58,000 --> 01:48:03,000
You see them turn around and come back for you

1328
01:48:03,000 --> 01:48:12,000
To see that these people actually came for her

1329
01:48:12,000 --> 01:48:19,000
I gently put an arm sort of around Skye, kind of weight a bit, and then lightly pat her shoulder

1330
01:48:19,000 --> 01:48:23,000
Oh, Skye cries

1331
01:48:23,000 --> 01:48:30,000
I can't tell you what I want, because I kind of want you guys to like me, you know?

1332
01:48:30,000 --> 01:48:33,000
Well, problem is we already like you, so pick something we like

1333
01:48:33,000 --> 01:48:35,000
We genuinely really do

1334
01:48:35,000 --> 01:48:43,000
I really don't want you to be stuck here, I don't think anything good happens

1335
01:48:43,000 --> 01:48:50,000
I could tell you exactly what happens, yeah, I could, I know, but

1336
01:48:50,000 --> 01:48:53,000
Right now, let's focus on what you need

1337
01:48:53,000 --> 01:48:57,000
What are you getting out of this place that you need?

1338
01:48:57,000 --> 01:48:59,000
Because otherwise you wouldn't be here

1339
01:48:59,000 --> 01:49:06,000
The world of Leviathan's Eye is ripped away and you are pulled back down to Saga

1340
01:49:06,000 --> 01:49:12,000
There is a shoo-woo-woo of cars as they shoot past you

1341
01:49:12,000 --> 01:49:17,000
The one in front is you on a hoverboard

1342
01:49:17,000 --> 01:49:23,000
You drive to some lawmen that are hiding out in wait

1343
01:49:23,000 --> 01:49:27,000
You get them to chase you out, and you see Ike run down

1344
01:49:27,000 --> 01:49:31,000
I gotta fucking win the race

1345
01:49:31,000 --> 01:49:34,000
And you see Ike as she copies you

1346
01:49:34,000 --> 01:49:42,000
Channel some Skye, and is just gonna like stick her tongue out

1347
01:49:42,000 --> 01:49:49,000
And stick out her middle finger, and just give a nice big

1348
01:49:49,000 --> 01:49:54,000
As she wins the race

1349
01:49:54,000 --> 01:50:01,000
I wanna be better, but I don't know if I ever can be

1350
01:50:01,000 --> 01:50:10,000
Because I think I'm just, you know, an amalgamation of all my worst parts

1351
01:50:10,000 --> 01:50:18,000
Defined by this awful thing I did that I can't take back, so

1352
01:50:18,000 --> 01:50:26,000
Skye, I've...look at us. Ike's probably done awful things, I've done awful things

1353
01:50:26,000 --> 01:50:29,000
Many of them, you know some of them

1354
01:50:29,000 --> 01:50:36,000
We're not defined by our worst qualities, we're defined by what we try to do to overcome them

1355
01:50:36,000 --> 01:50:40,000
You can't change if you're stuck here

1356
01:50:40,000 --> 01:50:43,000
You can't grow if you're stuck here

1357
01:50:43,000 --> 01:50:45,000
You can't be who you wanna be

1358
01:50:45,000 --> 01:50:49,000
And I think the people I hurt don't care

1359
01:50:49,000 --> 01:50:59,000
I think if they heard, oh she's trapped in a gnarly time loop that the Heths created to torture her, they'd go

1360
01:50:59,000 --> 01:51:04,000
All of the world again is stripped away

1361
01:51:04,000 --> 01:51:08,000
But there is nothing that comes back

1362
01:51:08,000 --> 01:51:11,000
There is a single spotlight

1363
01:51:11,000 --> 01:51:14,000
Skye, younger

1364
01:51:14,000 --> 01:51:19,000
Tears in her eyes as she holds a gun out in front of her

1365
01:51:19,000 --> 01:51:22,000
It is smoking and there is blood on her face

1366
01:51:22,000 --> 01:51:26,000
But everything is dark except for that one image

1367
01:51:30,000 --> 01:51:37,000
I get down to eye level, or I don't really, how young

1368
01:51:37,000 --> 01:51:38,000
I can kneel down

1369
01:51:38,000 --> 01:51:40,000
Yeah, you kneel down

1370
01:51:40,000 --> 01:51:49,000
I go kind of pull Skye down and take off like the maroon cloak that she wears

1371
01:51:49,000 --> 01:51:53,000
And like take it to her face

1372
01:51:53,000 --> 01:52:01,000
To just wipe away some of the splatter and tears

1373
01:52:01,000 --> 01:52:04,000
Skye

1374
01:52:04,000 --> 01:52:06,000
I never met this girl

1375
01:52:06,000 --> 01:52:09,000
I met you and I like you

1376
01:52:09,000 --> 01:52:13,000
And I think that we can all be better

1377
01:52:13,000 --> 01:52:18,000
And maybe if we do it together, it won't be as scary

1378
01:52:18,000 --> 01:52:22,000
You were not responsible when you were a child

1379
01:52:22,000 --> 01:52:23,000
No one can be

1380
01:52:23,000 --> 01:52:25,000
You trusted the wrong people, yeah?

1381
01:52:25,000 --> 01:52:28,000
You did things you regret

1382
01:52:28,000 --> 01:52:30,000
But you were a child

1383
01:52:30,000 --> 01:52:37,000
No more capable of being blamed for your actions than any other child

1384
01:52:37,000 --> 01:52:40,000
No one is blameless here

1385
01:52:40,000 --> 01:52:44,000
I'm not saying you shouldn't feel some small amount of guilt

1386
01:52:44,000 --> 01:52:46,000
But you were not her anymore

1387
01:52:46,000 --> 01:52:49,000
And she wasn't herself either

1388
01:52:49,000 --> 01:52:54,000
You can make it up to the people you've hurt

1389
01:52:54,000 --> 01:52:56,000
By trusting the right people

1390
01:52:56,000 --> 01:52:59,000
And not letting yourself be pushed into that position again

1391
01:52:59,000 --> 01:53:01,000
That's all any of us can do

1392
01:53:01,000 --> 01:53:04,000
And I can I, as long as you trust us

1393
01:53:04,000 --> 01:53:07,000
We'll help you through it, promise

1394
01:53:07,000 --> 01:53:11,000
Okay, can you promise me one other thing though?

1395
01:53:11,000 --> 01:53:13,000
What is it?

1396
01:53:13,000 --> 01:53:16,000
Don't tell Dr. Therriak I cried, okay?

1397
01:53:16,000 --> 01:53:22,000
I have an image trying to maintain here

1398
01:53:22,000 --> 01:53:26,000
Oh no, you were replaying that moment where you did the...

1399
01:53:26,000 --> 01:53:31,000
Was it Flip, Ollie, Cirque du Soleil?

1400
01:53:31,000 --> 01:53:36,000
The thing on the... you know, Leviathan's Eye rollercoaster

1401
01:53:36,000 --> 01:53:41,000
Exactly, if Dr. Therriak needs to know any details about this

1402
01:53:41,000 --> 01:53:48,000
We'll just say that you spent your whole loop doing really cool backflips off of a rollercoaster

1403
01:53:48,000 --> 01:53:50,000
I appreciate that

1404
01:53:50,000 --> 01:53:51,000
Anytime

1405
01:53:51,000 --> 01:53:55,000
But for now, what if we get out of here

1406
01:53:55,000 --> 01:53:59,000
And go tell Dr. Therriak about all the cool backflips

1407
01:53:59,000 --> 01:54:03,000
Because I don't quite want to be here anymore

1408
01:54:03,000 --> 01:54:10,000
Yeah, I wasn't going to say it before, but frankly I don't trust Therriak to make good decisions right now

1409
01:54:10,000 --> 01:54:14,000
Hey Matt, can I say a descriptive thing?

1410
01:54:14,000 --> 01:54:16,000
I would love it if you did

1411
01:54:16,000 --> 01:54:21,000
I would just like to say that the spotlight grows as Skye grows older

1412
01:54:21,000 --> 01:54:27,000
And reveals the top of the skyscraper

1413
01:54:27,000 --> 01:54:31,000
Okay, but how do we get out of here?

1414
01:54:31,000 --> 01:54:34,000
Oh, right, I guess I should focus

1415
01:54:34,000 --> 01:54:39,000
Can you just...

1416
01:54:39,000 --> 01:54:45,000
I'm sort of in, but I need to sort of break it out

1417
01:54:45,000 --> 01:55:01,000
I kind of think that if both of you just focus on the memory that was looping and try to recognize that it's not real

1418
01:55:01,000 --> 01:55:08,000
It might help me while I try to push it all the way closed

1419
01:55:08,000 --> 01:55:10,000
Okay

1420
01:55:10,000 --> 01:55:12,000
Focus as hard as you can

1421
01:55:12,000 --> 01:55:16,000
You shut your eyes

1422
01:55:16,000 --> 01:55:24,000
And you try to focus on the memory that kept you trapped here

1423
01:55:24,000 --> 01:55:33,000
Each memory of all three of you, an unsure happiness

1424
01:55:33,000 --> 01:55:43,000
A day that was filled with some hope, some regret

1425
01:55:43,000 --> 01:55:47,000
A place where you were all vulnerable

1426
01:55:47,000 --> 01:55:51,000
Ike, can you give me a computer's check?

1427
01:55:51,000 --> 01:56:00,000
Okay

1428
01:56:00,000 --> 01:56:02,000
25

1429
01:56:02,000 --> 01:56:10,000
As Skye you walk through the muck-ridden rain

1430
01:56:10,000 --> 01:56:14,000
As Amu watch the streaks of light

1431
01:56:14,000 --> 01:56:19,000
Ike, you feel the real sun

1432
01:56:19,000 --> 01:56:23,000
There is a shimmer of static

1433
01:56:23,000 --> 01:56:29,000
Characters in this memory, you see their eyes grow blank

1434
01:56:29,000 --> 01:56:40,000
And their figures glitch like a breaking video game

1435
01:56:40,000 --> 01:56:49,000
And slowly this static grows and grows and grows and gets more powerful

1436
01:56:49,000 --> 01:57:02,000
And takes up all of your vision and as it does, the spots of white and black included in this static begin to fill out a picture

1437
01:57:02,000 --> 01:57:12,000
And you, the three of you, sit laying down in a pod

1438
01:57:12,000 --> 01:57:23,000
Two pipes connect, a small electric pulse brimming through your head, a glass case in front of you

1439
01:57:23,000 --> 01:57:35,000
As you all break out of this memory loop and you gain full autonomy of your body again

1440
01:57:35,000 --> 01:57:58,000
A person connected via a helmet to these three strings that are attached to each of your pods continues to mumble to themselves and work as they do not seem to have noticed that the three of you have become cognitive again

1441
01:57:58,000 --> 01:58:11,000
Theriac, you sprint in, the first door opens, a room in front of you, a door at the other end of this room, in the centre

1442
01:58:11,000 --> 01:58:21,000
A large console connected via electricity to the crystal that floats idly

1443
01:58:21,000 --> 01:58:33,000
A large holographic canister encases it, there are readings being printed constantly on a large computer that's on one end of the room

1444
01:58:33,000 --> 01:59:02,000
Oh, oh, Therac like stops and like fully stares at it for like two whole seconds, just like admiring how beautiful it is, like frozen in time and space and just the splendour of this beautiful little item that they've had, that seemed predestined to find them

1445
01:59:02,000 --> 01:59:09,000
But then fully...the others! And then we'll continue running towards the door

1446
01:59:09,000 --> 01:59:30,000
The doors open, you see ahead of you three pods, these three large wires connect to this one helmet that this person is wearing, writing silently unacknowledging your presence as behind them is a computer that seems to be playing these three scenes on loop

1447
01:59:30,000 --> 01:59:34,000
I see your hand in your jacket

1448
01:59:34,000 --> 01:59:38,000
This is a wonderful little model, and then shoots it

1449
01:59:38,000 --> 01:59:41,000
Are you shooting the person in the chair?

1450
01:59:41,000 --> 01:59:44,000
Wait, so there's the person in the chair

1451
01:59:44,000 --> 01:59:54,000
There's the person in the chair and there's a computer behind them seeming like gathering data of these scenes that are going on, and playing each of the scenes that we have throughout this session been watching being played constantly

1452
01:59:54,000 --> 01:59:56,000
I can't inject a computer Matthew

1453
01:59:56,000 --> 02:00:02,740
Unfortunately not, but you can insert a needle into this person who is sat seemingly reading these things.

1454
02:00:02,740 --> 02:00:05,100
Yeah, this guy's gonna be fucked up!

1455
02:00:08,740 --> 02:00:16,340
I would like to use a minor inhibitor for this person to have a minus one penalty to attack rolls from the future.

1456
02:00:16,340 --> 02:00:20,660
I have no other weapons, y'all. I'm so sorry. This is the wrong person to send.

1457
02:00:20,660 --> 02:00:27,380
I tell you what, yes, there is a combat- oopsie daisy- a combat-based ability in Starfinder,

1458
02:00:27,380 --> 02:00:33,300
which is when someone is unaware, you can make a roll to instantly kill them.

1459
02:00:33,300 --> 02:00:40,500
And in this sense, this heath sat in this chair doesn't know you're there, their whole mind is busy with things.

1460
02:00:40,500 --> 02:00:47,540
You can, if you'd like, make a roll to wipe them out immediately.

1461
02:00:47,540 --> 02:00:52,740
Another one for the docket! How's a nat 20 do?

1462
02:00:52,740 --> 02:01:04,020
Not even gonna roll, because it's the nat 20. What does Theriac load into this to just wipe this person out?

1463
02:01:04,020 --> 02:01:07,700
Fully believes that they grabbed the minor inhibitor.

1464
02:01:07,700 --> 02:01:13,700
Is Fully just like a tranquilizer for like- like the equivalent of like an elephant tranquilizer?

1465
02:01:13,700 --> 02:01:17,860
Oh my god!

1466
02:01:17,860 --> 02:01:32,500
And then it's just like, uh, like loads it in and aims like right at the jugular and like goes directly through and like actually lodges directly into like the spinal cord.

1467
02:01:32,500 --> 02:01:33,220
Hell yeah.

1468
02:01:33,220 --> 02:01:37,860
And then and it all just flows in.

1469
02:01:37,860 --> 02:01:47,220
It flows in and you see them like react, but their body is- could never be quick enough to attempt to react this.

1470
02:01:47,220 --> 02:01:51,380
They- they swing and as they swing their whole body goes limp.

1471
02:01:51,380 --> 02:02:00,260
This helmet is- pulls against these wires and they like slump out of- out of this helmet and they are dead on the floor.

1472
02:02:00,260 --> 02:02:04,980
The other three of you are all fully woken up at this point.

1473
02:02:04,980 --> 02:02:08,820
You are out of the loop. You are looking at the pod.

1474
02:02:08,820 --> 02:02:12,980
You are not restrained in any way. The restraints were the loop.

1475
02:02:12,980 --> 02:02:17,220
You see Theriac in front. You all wake up. You see this happen.

1476
02:02:17,220 --> 02:02:21,540
You see Theriac open this thing, shoot and then kill this heath.

1477
02:02:21,540 --> 02:02:24,820
With the way that they react, you assume that they are fully dead.

1478
02:02:25,460 --> 02:02:30,420
I- I just try to break the glass. I'm not very strong, but I do.

1479
02:02:30,420 --> 02:02:31,140
Oh my god!

1480
02:02:31,140 --> 02:02:35,140
All three of you are like punching the glass.

1481
02:02:35,140 --> 02:02:37,700
The zombie like, one at a time, please!

1482
02:02:37,700 --> 02:02:40,980
Goes to Skye's pod and is like, alright.

1483
02:02:40,980 --> 02:02:43,460
I can't hear you! There's glass!

1484
02:02:43,460 --> 02:02:48,180
Okay, you know what? I'm just gonna point my hands- can it be on the far edge of all these pods?

1485
02:02:48,180 --> 02:02:48,420
Yeah.

1486
02:02:49,460 --> 02:02:55,140
I'm just gonna point my hands towards my- like the wall of my own pod and the other two pods.

1487
02:02:56,100 --> 02:02:58,100
You know, roughly in a 15 foot cone.

1488
02:02:58,100 --> 02:03:00,500
Roughly, yeah. Just roundabouts in a 15 foot cone.

1489
02:03:00,500 --> 02:03:01,300
Absolutely.

1490
02:03:01,300 --> 02:03:04,020
Weirdly, they all fit roughly in a 15 foot cone.

1491
02:03:04,820 --> 02:03:06,900
Great, that's perfect. Can I have them roll decks?

1492
02:03:07,540 --> 02:03:10,020
In their pods? Jesus.

1493
02:03:10,020 --> 02:03:12,900
Yeah, I can sky- I can sky- roll-

1494
02:03:12,900 --> 02:03:14,900
What are you gonna do?

1495
02:03:14,900 --> 02:03:17,540
No, I'm gonna melt the damn glass.

1496
02:03:17,540 --> 02:03:18,900
You're gonna melt the-

1497
02:03:18,900 --> 02:03:21,860
I'm gonna melt the glass.

1498
02:03:21,860 --> 02:03:25,620
Well, you're not gonna sit there and deal with codes for two hours. I'm so sorry.

1499
02:03:26,260 --> 02:03:26,660
Us?

1500
02:03:27,540 --> 02:03:28,500
Let me have this.

1501
02:03:28,500 --> 02:03:29,780
You've got to shoot out the-

1502
02:03:29,780 --> 02:03:34,020
Sky, I- roll reflex saves right now.

1503
02:03:34,020 --> 02:03:36,020
I'm doing reflex saving, okay?

1504
02:03:36,020 --> 02:03:38,020
I'm right here!

1505
02:03:38,020 --> 02:03:40,020
Great!

1506
02:03:40,020 --> 02:03:53,540
So, as I'm- how do you do this? So you're touching the side, the hardened skin, like melts away and this shooting hot lava comes out, correct?

1507
02:03:53,540 --> 02:03:55,540
It's really hot air that comes out.

1508
02:03:55,540 --> 02:03:56,420
Really hot air.

1509
02:03:56,420 --> 02:04:04,100
Uh, because usually he doesn't want to bleed on things to make them burn up. That's where the lava comes from.

1510
02:04:04,100 --> 02:04:04,580
That's true.

1511
02:04:04,580 --> 02:04:15,460
So, his own pod literally just melts like glasswork, but the pods, the other two pods are like super heated and straight up explode.

1512
02:04:15,460 --> 02:04:22,500
Sky and Ike, you're like bashing on the glass theory act. You start freaking out. You don't know if something wrong has happened with the hacking.

1513
02:04:22,500 --> 02:04:29,780
You don't know if something wrong has happened with the fact that you just killed the like, the person who was plugged in, but this hot air shoots out.

1514
02:04:29,780 --> 02:04:37,700
There are licks of flames in the air and then both of your like, glass screens melt and crack and burst.

1515
02:04:37,700 --> 02:04:41,780
You're both now able to leave as Arm. You're also able now to leave with that.

1516
02:04:41,780 --> 02:04:42,100
Okay.

1517
02:04:43,060 --> 02:04:49,380
I just bend some more of that warm glass out of the way to make the aperture extra easy for me to just come out of.

1518
02:04:49,380 --> 02:04:49,860
You good?

1519
02:04:49,860 --> 02:04:51,860
You know, I was worried you'd start trying to negotiate with.

1520
02:04:51,860 --> 02:04:53,860
We need to get the crystal.

1521
02:04:53,860 --> 02:05:01,860
I'm going to put my fingers to my temple and I'm going to say cow bunga and I'd like for my board to come find me, please.

1522
02:05:01,860 --> 02:05:15,860
You feel like a twinge as your board like understands and you feel it move, but you know that it is currently in a, in a room on the ship, but can't quite get out yet.

1523
02:05:15,860 --> 02:05:17,860
I got a feeling my boards with the crystal.

1524
02:05:17,860 --> 02:05:23,860
We need to get the crystal right now. We have to go.

1525
02:05:23,860 --> 02:05:25,860
Let's go.

1526
02:05:25,860 --> 02:05:27,860
Okay.

1527
02:05:27,860 --> 02:05:29,860
Calm down.

1528
02:05:29,860 --> 02:05:31,860
Situation.

1529
02:05:31,860 --> 02:05:33,860
We hacked into the ship.

1530
02:05:33,860 --> 02:05:35,860
Scrap killed the one out front.

1531
02:05:35,860 --> 02:05:37,860
I just killed the one in the chair.

1532
02:05:37,860 --> 02:05:39,860
I'm the virtual reality.

1533
02:05:39,860 --> 02:05:41,860
I run it.

1534
02:05:41,860 --> 02:05:43,860
I start running.

1535
02:05:43,860 --> 02:05:45,860
I start running towards the crystal.

1536
02:05:45,860 --> 02:05:55,860
I'm going to go in a zone anxiety level somewhere between those two and moderate level.

1537
02:05:55,860 --> 02:05:57,860
A moderate level.

1538
02:05:57,860 --> 02:05:59,860
About seven.

1539
02:05:59,860 --> 02:06:07,860
A zone sitting at like a four and I think theory exiting at least a 23.

1540
02:06:07,860 --> 02:06:11,860
So I guess a different scaling chart for everyone else.

1541
02:06:11,860 --> 02:06:19,860
It's weirdly at a three at the minute, but it's three on the Ike chart, which is a normal person's 15.

1542
02:06:19,860 --> 02:06:25,860
Yeah, sky is less panicked and more like, ah, we are in a tight spot.

1543
02:06:25,860 --> 02:06:27,860
Aren't we?

1544
02:06:27,860 --> 02:06:29,860
This is pretty bad.

1545
02:06:29,860 --> 02:06:31,860
You all want you all go through.

1546
02:06:31,860 --> 02:06:51,860
I just want to say that I think the only thing I can describe before this scanning unit on the crystal, these two like charges of electricity are holding it in place large like holographic chamber that is connected to a computer interface that is uploading just like loads of data.

1547
02:06:51,860 --> 02:06:56,860
Can I pause the approved tests, download the data and open up the thing.

1548
02:06:56,860 --> 02:07:01,860
Can you please give me a computer's check to do all those things?

1549
02:07:01,860 --> 02:07:05,860
Why not? Does anyone else want to do what I'm doing or would they like to do something else?

1550
02:07:05,860 --> 02:07:10,860
I have pretty good computers, but I'm guessing Ike and sky have fucking killer computers.

1551
02:07:10,860 --> 02:07:11,860
Hell yeah.

1552
02:07:11,860 --> 02:07:13,860
Yeah, I just want to like talk.

1553
02:07:13,860 --> 02:07:14,860
Yeah, you talk to it.

1554
02:07:14,860 --> 02:07:17,860
Just be like, we're coming.

1555
02:07:17,860 --> 02:07:19,860
It's going to be okay.

1556
02:07:19,860 --> 02:07:24,860
Just like where every you're going to be safe.

1557
02:07:24,860 --> 02:07:26,860
22.

1558
02:07:26,860 --> 02:07:54,860
Ike you, you can feel and hear this kind of barrage of noise as it is trying to, it is trying to speak, but it seems that this scan is compiling so much data from it that it can't quite form any words.

1559
02:07:54,860 --> 02:07:57,860
Floppy disk type thing pops out.

1560
02:07:57,860 --> 02:07:59,860
I toss it to theory.

1561
02:07:59,860 --> 02:08:01,860
I can say catch.

1562
02:08:01,860 --> 02:08:06,860
And then I try and open up the case holding the crystal.

1563
02:08:06,860 --> 02:08:10,860
Yeah, no, you're able to do that with the fact that you pause and the computers check and everything.

1564
02:08:10,860 --> 02:08:16,860
You also have like a release button that you click and it and the holograph like you and the crystal like slope.

1565
02:08:16,860 --> 02:08:28,860
The electric electrical charge on either end stops and the crystal like slowly floats down to the like bottom of this of this little chamber.

1566
02:08:28,860 --> 02:08:33,860
Where are our things?

1567
02:08:33,860 --> 02:08:35,860
You're bored.

1568
02:08:35,860 --> 02:08:36,860
You're bored.

1569
02:08:36,860 --> 02:08:41,860
Sky you feel is in the room beyond this one.

1570
02:08:41,860 --> 02:08:43,860
Oh, it's in the room beyond this one.

1571
02:08:43,860 --> 02:08:48,860
Okay, I think we're done here then unless Doc.

1572
02:08:48,860 --> 02:08:50,860
Would you like to do some more panicking here?

1573
02:08:50,860 --> 02:08:51,860
I'm so sorry.

1574
02:08:51,860 --> 02:08:52,860
I'm everywhere.

1575
02:08:52,860 --> 02:08:55,860
Did you grab the crystal?

1576
02:08:55,860 --> 02:08:58,860
I was hoping one of you would do it.

1577
02:08:58,860 --> 02:09:00,860
No, I've got it.

1578
02:09:00,860 --> 02:09:01,860
I've got it.

1579
02:09:01,860 --> 02:09:02,860
Yeah, you're fine.

1580
02:09:02,860 --> 02:09:04,860
So let's move on.

1581
02:09:04,860 --> 02:09:05,860
Come on.

1582
02:09:05,860 --> 02:09:08,860
I like gently pat the back of theory.

1583
02:09:08,860 --> 02:09:09,860
I just pushing them.

1584
02:09:09,860 --> 02:09:14,860
Come on, you all make it to the to the big main room with the drift core.

1585
02:09:14,860 --> 02:09:18,860
This like amalgamation nucleus drift core in and the ramp being down.

1586
02:09:18,860 --> 02:09:22,860
Sky, you feel the room to your left, the one that hasn't been open.

1587
02:09:22,860 --> 02:09:25,860
So we have the pilots room, the chambers that you were just in.

1588
02:09:25,860 --> 02:09:30,860
And then the last room is where your board is is what you sense.

1589
02:09:30,860 --> 02:09:32,860
I'm booking it towards my board.

1590
02:09:32,860 --> 02:09:34,860
That's like my other arm.

1591
02:09:34,860 --> 02:09:35,860
It's an extension of myself.

1592
02:09:35,860 --> 02:09:45,860
As soon as it like it comes out, it kind of the board like flies up to you and like presses itself against your chest like it's trying to give you a little hug.

1593
02:09:45,860 --> 02:09:50,860
And all of you see all of your equipment inside.

1594
02:09:50,860 --> 02:09:57,860
However, if you would like, there are also a lot of other things in this room is going to take you a little longer.

1595
02:09:57,860 --> 02:09:59,860
But you are welcome to do a scourge.

1596
02:09:59,860 --> 02:10:01,860
I would like to do a scourge.

1597
02:10:01,860 --> 02:10:06,860
Can I can I can I roll with advantage because I have nothing to grab?

1598
02:10:06,860 --> 02:10:07,860
Oh, you know what?

1599
02:10:07,860 --> 02:10:09,860
I actually I like that.

1600
02:10:09,860 --> 02:10:10,860
Of course you can.

1601
02:10:10,860 --> 02:10:14,860
Everyone can roll me a if you're grabbing just as much shit as you can.

1602
02:10:14,860 --> 02:10:17,860
Roll me a Dex because you're just fucking picking stuff up.

1603
02:10:17,860 --> 02:10:21,860
Theory X allows roll with advantage because theory has nothing of their own to pick up.

1604
02:10:21,860 --> 02:10:29,860
If I if I want to look for something neat in particular, can I roll like an there's no investigation?

1605
02:10:29,860 --> 02:10:32,860
There's a perception. I'll allow you to roll the perception.

1606
02:10:32,860 --> 02:10:35,860
What is it in particular that you're looking for?

1607
02:10:35,860 --> 02:10:37,860
Some cool.

1608
02:10:37,860 --> 02:10:40,860
OK. Fuck eight.

1609
02:10:40,860 --> 02:10:43,860
OK. OK.

1610
02:10:43,860 --> 02:10:46,860
It was Dex for everything.

1611
02:10:46,860 --> 02:10:50,860
Perception. If if if grab everything.

1612
02:10:50,860 --> 02:10:54,860
If you want something in particular, yes, to see if it's there.

1613
02:10:54,860 --> 02:10:59,860
Theory X, you can again get you can get advantage on one of these.

1614
02:10:59,860 --> 02:11:02,860
I know. OK.

1615
02:11:02,860 --> 02:11:04,860
Oh, my God.

1616
02:11:04,860 --> 02:11:10,860
Well, I got a net 20 and it'll be for the perception to try and find wherever the fuck they're holding the data for the cameras.

1617
02:11:10,860 --> 02:11:16,860
Oh, shit. You're you're looking for like the actual like yes, the hard drive data hold of all the cameras.

1618
02:11:16,860 --> 02:11:18,860
Yeah, you find it like immediately.

1619
02:11:18,860 --> 02:11:25,860
It's behind like a bunch of stacked shelves that you you spot it behind behind them, beeping away.

1620
02:11:25,860 --> 02:11:27,860
The little hard drive rips it.

1621
02:11:27,860 --> 02:11:30,860
There's a as you tear the hard drive out.

1622
02:11:30,860 --> 02:11:34,860
You do see some cameras like go down as you as you do.

1623
02:11:34,860 --> 02:11:39,860
So I would like to put on my armor and clothing properly.

1624
02:11:39,860 --> 02:11:43,860
I don't own a gun. So there's my guts probably not even here because I don't own a gun.

1625
02:11:43,860 --> 02:11:47,860
That's true. I think what I'm going to look for is maybe some sort of armor upgrade.

1626
02:11:47,860 --> 02:11:51,860
OK. And there is one more thing I'd like to do before I leave.

1627
02:11:51,860 --> 02:11:57,860
Using my knowledge of how to rig a place, rig this ship to blow up.

1628
02:11:57,860 --> 02:12:01,860
Interesting. Like that very much. Fuck the heff.

1629
02:12:01,860 --> 02:12:05,860
Grand. All right. I'll give you some options. Right.

1630
02:12:05,860 --> 02:12:10,860
There are two modules and you're allowed to grab one of them.

1631
02:12:10,860 --> 02:12:17,860
There is a hover field that you would know allows you to hover an inch off the ground.

1632
02:12:17,860 --> 02:12:21,860
You don't leave tracks or trigger any mechanical traps.

1633
02:12:21,860 --> 02:12:23,860
It is very good for sneaking.

1634
02:12:23,860 --> 02:12:32,860
Or there's a thing called juggernaut boosters, which when performing something called a bull rush combat maneuver,

1635
02:12:32,860 --> 02:12:41,860
you gain plus two bonus to the check and your armor also grants you plus four to strength checks to break down doors.

1636
02:12:41,860 --> 02:12:48,860
It is used for breaking and entering places.

1637
02:12:48,860 --> 02:12:55,860
OK. So between the two, this is a very difficult choice you gave. So juggernaut is spelled with a J, right?

1638
02:12:55,860 --> 02:12:58,860
Yes. Juggernaut is spelled with a J. Brilliant. Get that.

1639
02:12:58,860 --> 02:13:03,860
And you know that you can blow this ship up.

1640
02:13:03,860 --> 02:13:08,860
You know this from general combat expertise.

1641
02:13:08,860 --> 02:13:12,860
The drift core is quite volatile by nature.

1642
02:13:12,860 --> 02:13:16,860
It's why it's carried around in those large glass canisters.

1643
02:13:16,860 --> 02:13:20,860
So it's protected from any form of, like, increased jolting.

1644
02:13:20,860 --> 02:13:35,860
However, it's on a ship and you could open a window and place something in, disrupt it in some way to make the drift core become volatile and explode,

1645
02:13:35,860 --> 02:13:40,860
probably engulfing the whole ship. Well, not even probably. It will engulf the whole ship.

1646
02:13:40,860 --> 02:13:47,860
OK. OK. I look for a grenade with a timer on it or some form of timed explosive charge.

1647
02:13:47,860 --> 02:13:53,860
Wonderful. Yes, you are able to find that. However, before we move on, Ike, what are we doing?

1648
02:13:53,860 --> 02:14:00,860
Are we are we grabbing all of our shit? Just are you grabbing stuff at random or are you looking for something in particular?

1649
02:14:00,860 --> 02:14:10,860
Ike is looking for something in particular. She's looking for something that looks not necessarily useful, but important.

1650
02:14:10,860 --> 02:14:15,860
OK. Like it might be important. Like a personal knickknack?

1651
02:14:15,860 --> 02:14:19,860
It looks like there's a... And I got a second.

1652
02:14:19,860 --> 02:14:28,860
Wonderful. You find what looks like an old child's toy.

1653
02:14:28,860 --> 02:14:38,860
It is this slime that you know is it's in this little egg container and you know that it is programmable.

1654
02:14:38,860 --> 02:14:40,860
Silly putty. It's basically silly putty.

1655
02:14:40,860 --> 02:14:46,860
It is a thing that children use. They can like they talk into it.

1656
02:14:46,860 --> 02:14:53,860
And then after you know those toys where it's like when you walk past, it triggers like a phrase.

1657
02:14:53,860 --> 02:14:58,860
It's one of those. But it's this little ball of slime. It's called message slime.

1658
02:14:58,860 --> 02:15:03,860
You tell it a message that can be up to five minutes in length.

1659
02:15:03,860 --> 02:15:09,860
You can place it anywhere you want. And when you walk past it, when somebody walks past it,

1660
02:15:09,860 --> 02:15:14,860
it will trigger the phrase to start being spoken. You can take that if you want.

1661
02:15:14,860 --> 02:15:15,860
As soon as a creature... I do.

1662
02:15:15,860 --> 02:15:18,860
Yes. OK. Wonderful. You gain message slime.

1663
02:15:18,860 --> 02:15:19,860
Skye. Thank you.

1664
02:15:19,860 --> 02:15:27,860
You are unable to find anything in particular that is good.

1665
02:15:27,860 --> 02:15:30,860
However, there is a duffel bag that you can see is filled with some stuff.

1666
02:15:30,860 --> 02:15:32,860
Is it a cute color?

1667
02:15:32,860 --> 02:15:35,860
Boring like military black.

1668
02:15:35,860 --> 02:15:40,860
I'll take it anyway.

1669
02:15:40,860 --> 02:15:44,860
Azam. You find a grenade with a timer on it.

1670
02:15:44,860 --> 02:15:53,860
I set the timer for a minute. I say, all right, everyone, out of here.

1671
02:15:53,860 --> 02:16:09,860
And I crack open the drift core nucleus, drop the thing in, and calmly but assuredly leave.

1672
02:16:09,860 --> 02:16:18,860
As soon as you open up and you have something touch the drift core that isn't a natural...

1673
02:16:18,860 --> 02:16:23,860
That isn't another part of the drift core. It immediately starts to react.

1674
02:16:23,860 --> 02:16:30,860
A little electric charge buzzes over to the timed grenade and everything starts getting loud and volatile.

1675
02:16:30,860 --> 02:16:34,860
In a controllable way, however you have set the timer for a minute for it to become uncontrollable,

1676
02:16:34,860 --> 02:16:36,860
everyone runs out, I'm assuming.

1677
02:16:36,860 --> 02:16:40,860
Yeah, I grab my bow staff, give it a couple test twirls, and then follow Azam.

1678
02:16:40,860 --> 02:16:43,860
Oh my God. Scrap. Scrap. With us.

1679
02:16:43,860 --> 02:16:48,860
As you run out, Scrap is outside the ship on their laptop typing a little thing.

1680
02:16:48,860 --> 02:16:55,860
Oh God, are we done? Are we going? And then unhooks the cord and you all run.

1681
02:16:55,860 --> 02:16:56,860
Where are you running to?

1682
02:16:56,860 --> 02:16:58,860
The patchwork, I assume.

1683
02:16:58,860 --> 02:17:00,860
The patchwork?

1684
02:17:00,860 --> 02:17:01,860
Yeah.

1685
02:17:01,860 --> 02:17:03,860
Everyone runs to the patchwork.

1686
02:17:03,860 --> 02:17:14,860
Heath sprint past you as things start getting uncontrollable and you all dive into a side alley of helium as you sprint toward.

1687
02:17:14,860 --> 02:17:16,860
You all get on the patchwork.

1688
02:17:16,860 --> 02:17:23,860
Scrap looks to Sky as they're flicking things to go into the log.

1689
02:17:23,860 --> 02:17:27,860
We need the gravity field that you've increased. It needs to be turned off.

1690
02:17:27,860 --> 02:17:31,860
I was gonna say on the way there! I would do that.

1691
02:17:31,860 --> 02:17:33,860
Before I even got out of the patchwork I would run straight into the things.

1692
02:17:33,860 --> 02:17:36,860
Wonderful. Roll me a computers. Or an engineering.

1693
02:17:36,860 --> 02:17:37,860
Okay.

1694
02:17:37,860 --> 02:17:38,860
Either one to turn it off.

1695
02:17:38,860 --> 02:17:43,860
Okay. 26!

1696
02:17:43,860 --> 02:17:49,860
That beats your previous one of setting it up. You turn it off. The gravity field quietens.

1697
02:17:49,860 --> 02:18:00,860
You see the honeyed yellow ship of the group of people with the skid amandas and with Flair and Keelan also immediately like and start to take off.

1698
02:18:00,860 --> 02:18:12,860
As soon as the gravity field leaves the ramp slowly closes and as it does you all look at the Heath ship as there is almost like a black hole was created.

1699
02:18:12,860 --> 02:18:20,860
As the whole ship immediately erupts. Explodes so loud into flames.

1700
02:18:20,860 --> 02:18:27,860
Part of the ship like goes flying down bashing its way through the docking field.

1701
02:18:27,860 --> 02:18:35,860
Some just fly off into space and the ship raises and the patchwork takes off.

1702
02:18:35,860 --> 02:18:43,860
And you're all in deep space. Out of helium refueled. Safe.

1703
02:18:43,860 --> 02:18:47,860
Yeehaw! There we go!

1704
02:18:47,860 --> 02:18:54,860
Oh my god. Immediately just...

1705
02:18:54,860 --> 02:18:58,860
So! You do?

1706
02:18:58,860 --> 02:19:02,860
Alright. I have to go back to work.

1707
02:19:02,860 --> 02:19:05,860
Dr. Arthiriac?

1708
02:19:05,860 --> 02:19:06,860
Yes?

1709
02:19:06,860 --> 02:19:22,860
I don't know if you understand or realize this but you very literally saved us from something really harrowing. So... thank you.

1710
02:19:22,860 --> 02:19:29,860
Thank you.

1711
02:19:29,860 --> 02:19:31,860
You look like you're grappling with something.

1712
02:19:31,860 --> 02:19:48,860
I am. Yeah I am. Um. Thank you. And... think nothing of it.

1713
02:19:48,860 --> 02:19:53,860
We're not the type to forget things. Question. What are you grappling with?

1714
02:19:53,860 --> 02:20:08,860
Uh... I just need some time to think and be alone I think. Just to take in what really just happened. Which is a lot. Just a lot. Um.

1715
02:20:08,860 --> 02:20:10,860
Can I have a sense motive to check on you?

1716
02:20:10,860 --> 02:20:14,860
Go ahead.

1717
02:20:14,860 --> 02:20:20,860
I will leave. And exit the room.

1718
02:20:20,860 --> 02:20:36,860
I'm gonna say... yeah maybe we should all have some time by ourselves. And I'm gonna go to where I keep my gas mask. Which is the cockpit of the ship. And as I'm grabbing it and putting it on and stuff I'm gonna say...

1719
02:20:36,860 --> 02:20:39,860
Hey Scrap!

1720
02:20:39,860 --> 02:20:41,860
Yeah?

1721
02:20:41,860 --> 02:20:53,860
I don't know if I ever properly thanked you for getting me off of the saga. So... thank you. Appreciate it.

1722
02:20:53,860 --> 02:21:06,860
Well... I mean you found the engines. I'll say this. We wouldn't be on this adventure if it weren't for you.

1723
02:21:06,860 --> 02:21:28,860
Cool. I'm gonna put my gas mask on. And I'm gonna go to my usual thinking spot which is the window that I hopped out of last time. And I'm gonna ride my board up to the top of the ship. And take a little hook out of my belt. Hook myself onto the top of the ship. Look out into deep space for a while.

1724
02:21:28,860 --> 02:21:32,860
Yeah. I am.

1725
02:21:32,860 --> 02:21:40,860
And then I go... we'll give it a nod at the react statement and go to her little tunnel area.

1726
02:21:40,860 --> 02:21:42,860
And as I'm rolled a 28 to some extent.

1727
02:21:42,860 --> 02:21:47,860
Oh fuck you! Oh fuck you!

1728
02:21:47,860 --> 02:21:59,860
Damn super... okay well... to be fair. To be fair. The initial roll was a 16 but then I have a plus 6 and then I add an expertise die which also has 6.

1729
02:21:59,860 --> 02:22:08,860
Yeah so... to be fair. To be fair, Nod and Ali just rolled really well.

1730
02:22:08,860 --> 02:22:13,860
So we're back to fucking me. Is that what this is?

1731
02:22:13,860 --> 02:22:39,860
You get the sense that Theorak did a lot right now? And also is extremely nervous. Not only about the entire operation that just happened but also what is to come.

1732
02:22:39,860 --> 02:22:54,860
You know for a second, honestly, I truly thought that you would... I don't know, try and negotiate. Bother us away for a crystal or bother someone else.

1733
02:22:54,860 --> 02:23:02,860
Your real... what's the Galactic word for it? Comrade. Your real comrade, Terriak.

1734
02:23:02,860 --> 02:23:05,860
Mmhmm.

1735
02:23:05,860 --> 02:23:25,860
And I help those who prove themselves in such a way. So whatever happens on the Dune, whether it's a zoo or not, you can count on my help. Good talk.

1736
02:23:25,860 --> 02:23:31,860
I pat Theorak on the shoulder and move to leave.

1737
02:23:31,860 --> 02:23:42,860
Theorak is going to just take a moment to just breathe and then we'll... where did I put the crystal?

1738
02:23:42,860 --> 02:23:46,860
I put it back in its usual place in Theorak's lab setup.

1739
02:23:46,860 --> 02:24:04,860
Go back to the lab. And let's... it's still in a pretty disheveled state. And we'll go and pick up some of the, you know, throwing around textbooks and schematics and just looking at them.

1740
02:24:04,860 --> 02:24:22,860
And looks at the crystal. What are you? I said she could talk to you. The Hearth believed you were some sort of power source. You seemed to be a computer, an organism, all four states of matter. And yet I don't know what you are or who you are.

1741
02:24:22,860 --> 02:24:28,860
I wish there were a way to communicate with you.

1742
02:24:28,860 --> 02:24:30,860
I hate not knowing.

1743
02:24:30,860 --> 02:24:43,860
And then looks back to the various bits around the lab and then back to the storage room where the rituals that they had done related to photo happened.

1744
02:24:43,860 --> 02:24:49,860
Before we go to hide.

1745
02:24:49,860 --> 02:24:58,860
Come with me. And then we'll pick up the crystal and go into the room and set it down.

1746
02:24:58,860 --> 02:25:03,860
Alright, if my thoughts correct, you may be related.

1747
02:25:03,860 --> 02:25:12,860
You might be some sort of relic from the Cultivator. Is that it? I think so.

1748
02:25:12,860 --> 02:25:20,860
You must be very important. That's why all these people want you.

1749
02:25:20,860 --> 02:25:26,860
Alright, but they don't know why they want you. But I do.

1750
02:25:26,860 --> 02:25:29,860
Very important.

1751
02:25:29,860 --> 02:25:42,860
And we'll do some mysticism to try and figure out what the fuck this thing is. Or if they can communicate with it.

1752
02:25:42,860 --> 02:25:45,860
Sure. Roll me a mysticism check.

1753
02:25:45,860 --> 02:25:50,860
It's a nine.

1754
02:25:50,860 --> 02:25:52,860
That was a natural two.

1755
02:25:52,860 --> 02:25:56,860
The cosmos says you suck and gives you no answers.

1756
02:25:56,860 --> 02:26:05,860
You're pleased to photo the Cultivator, the great beyond.

1757
02:26:05,860 --> 02:26:16,860
It rings out in your soul and you are met with silence.

1758
02:26:16,860 --> 02:26:20,860
Perhaps I was wrong. Perhaps I'm dreaming this.

1759
02:26:20,860 --> 02:26:27,860
That would be ridiculous. Just to find some lost item directly connected to the Cultivator.

1760
02:26:27,860 --> 02:26:31,860
That's not... You couldn't help me find Satyra. It's not possible.

1761
02:26:31,860 --> 02:26:34,860
Because I know where Satyra is.

1762
02:26:34,860 --> 02:26:41,860
Okay. Alright. I'm going to bring this to I...

1763
02:26:41,860 --> 02:26:43,860
...Z.

1764
02:26:43,860 --> 02:26:47,860
Right. No. Hold on.

1765
02:26:47,860 --> 02:26:51,860
Why would we want Ike to see this?

1766
02:26:51,860 --> 02:26:56,860
Ike already is too comfortable with it. That's out...

1767
02:26:56,860 --> 02:27:00,860
Are you thinking at all about the standard protocols in these things?

1768
02:27:00,860 --> 02:27:05,860
That's why we don't name the specimens in wild times.

1769
02:27:05,860 --> 02:27:09,860
You can't form a notion of attachments to these sorts of things.

1770
02:27:09,860 --> 02:27:12,860
This is a study. This is a...

1771
02:27:12,860 --> 02:27:19,860
But she's also the only one who can speak to it.

1772
02:27:19,860 --> 02:27:23,860
Oh. Alright. Alright.

1773
02:27:23,860 --> 02:27:26,860
Just this once. Just this once.

1774
02:27:26,860 --> 02:27:30,860
Then, we'll get some answers.

1775
02:27:30,860 --> 02:27:33,860
That seems perfect with water.

1776
02:27:33,860 --> 02:27:34,860
Alright.

1777
02:27:34,860 --> 02:27:37,860
And we'll pick up the crystal.

1778
02:27:37,860 --> 02:27:43,860
And... goes to Ike's place of stay.

1779
02:27:43,860 --> 02:27:50,860
For the last few long minutes, while that's been going on,

1780
02:27:50,860 --> 02:27:58,860
Ike has been crouched in her little nook with her phone out

1781
02:27:58,860 --> 02:28:05,860
and has been typing and deleting, typing and deleting

1782
02:28:05,860 --> 02:28:13,860
a message to Quinn, one of the many things that the computer simulation suggested

1783
02:28:13,860 --> 02:28:16,860
that she say, things like,

1784
02:28:16,860 --> 02:28:18,860
Are you my friend?

1785
02:28:18,860 --> 02:28:20,860
Or, Why did you lie to me?

1786
02:28:20,860 --> 02:28:24,860
And why were you in the lower decks?

1787
02:28:24,860 --> 02:28:31,860
The area, when you get there, Ike is having just a little bit of a sob

1788
02:28:31,860 --> 02:28:37,860
as she decides to send, whose playground? Question mark.

1789
02:28:37,860 --> 02:28:40,860
To Quinn.

1790
02:28:40,860 --> 02:28:50,860
She closes her phone and throws it against the tube and has a little cry.

1791
02:28:50,860 --> 02:28:53,860
Oh!

1792
02:28:53,860 --> 02:28:55,860
Sorry!

1793
02:28:55,860 --> 02:28:58,860
Yeah, of course! Come on in.

1794
02:28:58,860 --> 02:29:00,860
Doctor, hi!

1795
02:29:00,860 --> 02:29:03,860
Ike, you alright?

1796
02:29:03,860 --> 02:29:06,860
Oh, just a lot today!

1797
02:29:06,860 --> 02:29:09,860
That was really horrible!

1798
02:29:09,860 --> 02:29:12,860
I imagine that wasn't fun!

1799
02:29:12,860 --> 02:29:14,860
Oh!

1800
02:29:14,860 --> 02:29:17,860
Um, what can...

1801
02:29:17,860 --> 02:29:20,860
Are you alright? Do you need anything?

1802
02:29:20,860 --> 02:29:24,860
I'm... I'm... I'm perfectly fine.

1803
02:29:24,860 --> 02:29:32,860
I came to ask... You have communicated with the crystal before, yes?

1804
02:29:32,860 --> 02:29:39,860
Yes, I... Well, I can seem to talk to it a little, like, um,

1805
02:29:39,860 --> 02:29:47,860
when it got taken away and I could hear it, but it talked to me quite verbose at one point,

1806
02:29:47,860 --> 02:29:57,860
through... while I was sleeping, but I did speak with it... quite a lot.

1807
02:29:57,860 --> 02:30:04,860
Right, because I have been wanting to try and communicate with it for some time.

1808
02:30:04,860 --> 02:30:10,860
Oh! Well, I mean, will that help? Of course that would help,

1809
02:30:10,860 --> 02:30:14,860
with trying to determine what it is, right?

1810
02:30:14,860 --> 02:30:18,860
That would be very helpful, yes.

1811
02:30:18,860 --> 02:30:25,860
Okay, well, look, I... I want you to figure this thing out more than anything,

1812
02:30:25,860 --> 02:30:38,860
and, um, I also promised that I'd show you more of how I work anyway, right?

1813
02:30:38,860 --> 02:30:42,860
Yes, about computers.

1814
02:30:42,860 --> 02:30:46,860
Well, I would like to continue learning more about you as a person.

1815
02:30:46,860 --> 02:30:52,860
Right, about... that's what I meant. Um, and you have it with you?

1816
02:30:52,860 --> 02:30:57,860
Yes, um, and just sets down the giant crystal.

1817
02:30:57,860 --> 02:31:12,860
Okay, I will, like, hold onto the crystal, like, kind of in her lap.

1818
02:31:12,860 --> 02:31:24,860
Theriac, though, can I ask you something that's going to sound a little bit silly before I go and talk to...

1819
02:31:24,860 --> 02:31:34,860
what I really hope is a real thing that a person or...

1820
02:31:34,860 --> 02:31:38,860
what did you call them? Like a biome, right?

1821
02:31:38,860 --> 02:31:46,860
Um, I hope that I can talk to it, and I hope that it's real, what I was hearing,

1822
02:31:46,860 --> 02:31:58,860
but, um, before I do that, um, I would really like to know, are we friends?

1823
02:31:58,860 --> 02:32:02,860
Very interesting question, isn't it?

1824
02:32:02,860 --> 02:32:06,860
It is.

1825
02:32:06,860 --> 02:32:17,860
I'm not sure I've made such close acquaintance with people within this short amount of time before.

1826
02:32:17,860 --> 02:32:24,860
Not that necessarily love of camaraderie is determined by the rate at which it is accumulated,

1827
02:32:24,860 --> 02:32:32,860
but I believe so. Yes, we are friends. Um, why...?

1828
02:32:32,860 --> 02:32:40,860
I didn't have any, so I just wanted to check.

1829
02:32:40,860 --> 02:32:57,860
Theriac, um, breathes and kind of loses thought of the crystal for a second, seeing the eye on the verge of tears,

1830
02:32:57,860 --> 02:33:05,860
and we'll just go over and give her a hug.

1831
02:33:05,860 --> 02:33:16,860
While... while in that hug, um, that's when I go talk to the crystal.

1832
02:33:16,860 --> 02:33:23,860
To say, you're safe now. We got you back. Can you still hear me?

1833
02:33:23,860 --> 02:33:33,860
There's a silent ding of acknowledgement that you feel in your mind.

1834
02:33:33,860 --> 02:33:41,860
You're trying to say something. If there's a better way to reach you, can you show me it?

1835
02:33:41,860 --> 02:33:51,860
I am broken. Bring me together.

1836
02:33:51,860 --> 02:33:53,860
The other crystals?

1837
02:33:53,860 --> 02:33:58,860
There's a ding of acknowledgement.

1838
02:33:58,860 --> 02:34:06,860
So there are others like you, parts of you. I need to find them.

1839
02:34:06,860 --> 02:34:13,860
We need to find them and bring you all together, and then do you know where I can start?

1840
02:34:13,860 --> 02:34:21,860
It's... in me.

1841
02:34:21,860 --> 02:34:35,860
Inside. The... and I'll look up at Theriac. The inside, the biome, it's... it's out of order, it's... it's broken.

1842
02:34:35,860 --> 02:34:45,860
Uh, Theriac, can you give me an intelligence check? Please, smart little scientist.

1843
02:34:45,860 --> 02:34:47,860
That's a 18.

1844
02:34:47,860 --> 02:35:01,860
You recall the data that is inside, that you found inside of the crystal during one of your many, um, looks into it,

1845
02:35:01,860 --> 02:35:13,860
and there was some information that you would... you weren't able to extract without a larger lab.

1846
02:35:13,860 --> 02:35:18,860
Well, actually, I think Theriac's just been hugging Ike the whole time.

1847
02:35:18,860 --> 02:35:19,860
Yes!

1848
02:35:19,860 --> 02:35:21,860
It's like...

1849
02:35:21,860 --> 02:35:29,860
Um, pardon. Um. Uh, thank you.

1850
02:35:29,860 --> 02:35:40,860
So... this is going to require a much larger lab with more resources than we have here on the patchwork.

1851
02:35:40,860 --> 02:35:43,860
Well, we're headed towards one.

1852
02:35:43,860 --> 02:35:55,860
Yes. Um, I am... worried.

1853
02:35:55,860 --> 02:35:56,860
What about?

1854
02:35:56,860 --> 02:36:03,860
Ah, there are lots of complicating factors in this.

1855
02:36:03,860 --> 02:36:32,860
And for a second, Theriac wants to disclose about their sort of mania about the crystal and Sativum and Wild Times and the Cultivator, and then just wipes that away.

1856
02:36:32,860 --> 02:36:40,860
People at Wild Times are going to be asking questions about this and why it's at the establishment.

1857
02:36:40,860 --> 02:36:41,860
Oh.

1858
02:36:41,860 --> 02:36:51,860
And they're going to believe I found it for the park.

1859
02:36:51,860 --> 02:37:00,860
Right. But you... it wouldn't... you wouldn't leave it there.

1860
02:37:00,860 --> 02:37:08,860
I mean, we don't want to be bringing this with us everywhere we go across the galaxy in the middle of combat, do we?

1861
02:37:08,860 --> 02:37:22,860
I guess not. I... do you... do you trust it there? Do you trust that it would be safe there?

1862
02:37:22,860 --> 02:37:28,860
I'm not sure I trust much about anything around it.

1863
02:37:28,860 --> 02:37:33,860
I feel the same.

1864
02:37:33,860 --> 02:37:38,860
I wish there were answers. I want to answer this.

1865
02:37:38,860 --> 02:37:47,860
We'll... we'll figure something out once we get there. I mean, there has to be a way.

1866
02:37:47,860 --> 02:37:50,860
And...

1867
02:37:50,860 --> 02:37:52,860
We won't?

1868
02:37:52,860 --> 02:38:08,860
You know, I don't want to compromise your position at the park or anything, so we'll be smart and cautious about it.

1869
02:38:08,860 --> 02:38:14,860
Right. Right.

1870
02:38:14,860 --> 02:38:18,860
Very well.

1871
02:38:18,860 --> 02:38:23,860
Um... thank you for your help today.

1872
02:38:23,860 --> 02:38:26,860
I do wish you could hear it. It's...

1873
02:38:26,860 --> 02:38:30,860
Yes, I also wish I could hear it.

1874
02:38:30,860 --> 02:38:35,860
Maybe we'll figure out a way for that to happen, too.

1875
02:38:35,860 --> 02:38:49,860
You know, if it's communicating through your cerebral cortex, we could try and hook it to perhaps some... maybe the specific area of the brain where you receive language comprehension?

1876
02:38:49,860 --> 02:38:55,860
So then that way, when you process them... you know what? That's a discussion for another time.

1877
02:38:55,860 --> 02:38:57,860
Some other time?

1878
02:38:57,860 --> 02:39:05,860
And, uh, Theorak will grab Igg's hand with their two hands and say, thank you.

1879
02:39:05,860 --> 02:39:07,860
Anytime.

1880
02:39:07,860 --> 02:39:17,860
Alright. I'm going to go check on the other two, because you all had a day.

1881
02:39:17,860 --> 02:39:20,860
Okay.

1882
02:39:20,860 --> 02:39:32,860
We'll just kind of tap like Pat Igg's hand and then walk out of the room and say, I should probably grab the crystal.

1883
02:39:32,860 --> 02:39:34,860
Okay, sure.

1884
02:39:34,860 --> 02:39:36,860
Alright.

1885
02:39:36,860 --> 02:39:38,860
We'll grab the crystal.

1886
02:39:38,860 --> 02:39:45,860
Ghost will put it in the lab and then decides to hide it in storage instead.

1887
02:39:45,860 --> 02:39:50,860
And then we'll go to Skye.

1888
02:39:50,860 --> 02:39:54,860
I'll just hop up the stairs.

1889
02:39:54,860 --> 02:39:59,860
How do you get into the top of the patchwork?

1890
02:39:59,860 --> 02:40:02,860
Like, I am outside the... I am in space.

1891
02:40:02,860 --> 02:40:07,860
Skye is outside of in deep space, like outside the ship.

1892
02:40:07,860 --> 02:40:09,860
Sitting on the top of it like James and the giant peach.

1893
02:40:09,860 --> 02:40:17,860
The navigation just mentioned that we still have that, the helmet we used on the lower decks of Salga.

1894
02:40:17,860 --> 02:40:26,860
Yeah, I was just about to say, Theorak puts on the terrarium and, uh, like a little space suit.

1895
02:40:26,860 --> 02:40:34,860
And just goes out and has to like clear the glass.

1896
02:40:34,860 --> 02:40:39,860
Oh my god, dude! Do you have the... Are you good?

1897
02:40:39,860 --> 02:40:40,860
What? What? Alright.

1898
02:40:40,860 --> 02:40:42,860
Take my hand.

1899
02:40:42,860 --> 02:40:45,860
You're like dangling on the end of the ship.

1900
02:40:45,860 --> 02:40:46,860
Is that supposed to happen?

1901
02:40:46,860 --> 02:40:47,860
You're not.

1902
02:40:47,860 --> 02:40:49,860
Sorry if I'm underestimating you.

1903
02:40:49,860 --> 02:40:53,860
I just came out to see you, to say hello.

1904
02:40:53,860 --> 02:40:54,860
Alright.

1905
02:40:54,860 --> 02:40:58,860
Okay, well grab my hand. Come check out the view. It's pretty dope.

1906
02:40:58,860 --> 02:41:00,860
Here, I got an extra cord.

1907
02:41:00,860 --> 02:41:07,860
That's right, that could have just sloughed off into the void. That'd be hilarious.

1908
02:41:07,860 --> 02:41:10,860
And then we'll plug in and just look up.

1909
02:41:10,860 --> 02:41:12,860
It's pretty cool, eh?

1910
02:41:12,860 --> 02:41:22,860
Um, yeah, it is pretty cool, now that you mention it. Are you doing alright?

1911
02:41:22,860 --> 02:41:26,860
You said you're a religious person, right?

1912
02:41:26,860 --> 02:41:29,860
Yes, I am, in fact.

1913
02:41:29,860 --> 02:41:36,860
So did your deity like make all of this? So big.

1914
02:41:36,860 --> 02:41:41,860
In photo, the universe is sort of its own deity.

1915
02:41:41,860 --> 02:41:45,860
Sort of made itself from the nothing.

1916
02:41:45,860 --> 02:41:51,860
And expresses itself through the four states of matter.

1917
02:41:51,860 --> 02:41:54,860
Which, do you know what those are?

1918
02:41:54,860 --> 02:41:55,860
No.

1919
02:41:55,860 --> 02:41:56,860
Vapor?

1920
02:41:56,860 --> 02:42:01,860
Air, liquid, solid, gas?

1921
02:42:01,860 --> 02:42:04,860
Well, air and gas are the same.

1922
02:42:04,860 --> 02:42:09,860
And the last one is plasma, which is what stars are made of.

1923
02:42:09,860 --> 02:42:11,860
Really?

1924
02:42:11,860 --> 02:42:13,860
Very difficult to remember.

1925
02:42:13,860 --> 02:42:16,860
And ghosts, right?

1926
02:42:16,860 --> 02:42:26,860
And there are some that believe that there is perhaps some sort of fifth element of aether.

1927
02:42:26,860 --> 02:42:32,860
Nothing. The void, whatever it may be called.

1928
02:42:32,860 --> 02:42:35,860
But instead of...

1929
02:42:35,860 --> 02:42:38,860
Of course, the universe itself is sacred.

1930
02:42:38,860 --> 02:42:41,860
And all the sort of energies that it manifests.

1931
02:42:41,860 --> 02:42:46,860
But the primary figure in this is the cultivator.

1932
02:42:46,860 --> 02:42:56,860
They're this sort of arthropod-like person who carries a very specific gardening tool.

1933
02:42:56,860 --> 02:43:05,860
That's some kind of a hose, and a spade, and a hoe.

1934
02:43:05,860 --> 02:43:11,860
And just a very powerful tool, meant to shape the world.

1935
02:43:11,860 --> 02:43:19,860
They are not a deity, she's more of a prophet.

1936
02:43:19,860 --> 02:43:25,860
Went across the entire sort of world.

1937
02:43:25,860 --> 02:43:29,860
To spread the word of photoism and how everything is connected.

1938
02:43:29,860 --> 02:43:37,860
Everything reduces down to these four basic states of being.

1939
02:43:37,860 --> 02:43:44,860
And preaches that there are also different lifestyles connected to each one.

1940
02:43:44,860 --> 02:43:48,860
If you live a solid lifestyle, you're very stuck in your ways.

1941
02:43:48,860 --> 02:43:50,860
And you have a rigid set.

1942
02:43:50,860 --> 02:43:56,860
And if you live a liquid lifestyle, you're very flexible and bent.

1943
02:43:56,860 --> 02:43:59,860
If you live a vapor lifestyle, you know.

1944
02:43:59,860 --> 02:44:03,860
But the cultivator suggests that you live a full life.

1945
02:44:03,860 --> 02:44:10,860
To be one with the universe itself, you must combine all of these different traits to sort of ascend.

1946
02:44:10,860 --> 02:44:12,860
Ascend where?

1947
02:44:12,860 --> 02:44:16,860
Like... Well, there is maybe a place.

1948
02:44:16,860 --> 02:44:22,860
There's a location that's spoken of in some texts called Sativa.

1949
02:44:22,860 --> 02:44:30,860
Sort of this idyllic garden of life where all four states of matter exist.

1950
02:44:30,860 --> 02:44:42,860
Harmoniously, and lush, and green, and red with magma, and torrents of water, and gusts of gales.

1951
02:44:42,860 --> 02:44:48,860
Just this perfect world.

1952
02:44:48,860 --> 02:44:55,860
Anyway, I... If you'd believe it, actually something of a heretic from where I'm from.

1953
02:44:55,860 --> 02:44:57,860
Because of wild times?

1954
02:44:57,860 --> 02:45:01,860
Oh, no. They have no idea about wild times.

1955
02:45:01,860 --> 02:45:05,860
I just mean like the stuff that led to wild times. You know, like the science.

1956
02:45:05,860 --> 02:45:14,860
Yes, they believe in the idea that trying to measure these sorts of understandings of the world is heretical.

1957
02:45:14,860 --> 02:45:20,860
It should be intuitive. It should be thought of as poetry, not mathematics.

1958
02:45:20,860 --> 02:45:29,860
I don't... There's a place for poetry. It's not in my lap.

1959
02:45:29,860 --> 02:45:34,860
I kinda like that idea of life being like poetry and not math.

1960
02:45:34,860 --> 02:45:40,860
Like, I'm no good at math, but you know, four plus four equals eight.

1961
02:45:40,860 --> 02:45:46,860
And it's always gonna equal eight. No matter what you do, it's always gonna be eight.

1962
02:45:46,860 --> 02:45:53,860
I've read some poems that don't even rhyme. Some are two lines, and some are sixteen.

1963
02:45:53,860 --> 02:46:02,860
I don't know. They're messier. Doesn't always equal eight.

1964
02:46:02,860 --> 02:46:05,860
That sounds pretty dope.

1965
02:46:05,860 --> 02:46:08,860
What is pretty dope?

1966
02:46:08,860 --> 02:46:18,860
Life is messier than an equation. Four plus four doesn't always equal eight.

1967
02:46:18,860 --> 02:46:24,860
But yeah, I get it. It's not in your lap. No poetry in your lap. I get that in theory.

1968
02:46:24,860 --> 02:46:29,860
We're on the top of the pack. This is where you come to get deep.

1969
02:46:29,860 --> 02:46:37,860
Wish we had some sativa, if you know what I mean. Just kidding. I don't do drugs.

1970
02:46:37,860 --> 02:46:44,860
It's a lower decker thing. Never mind.

1971
02:46:44,860 --> 02:46:49,860
Thanks for saving us today. That was really cool of you. You're like a hero.

1972
02:46:49,860 --> 02:46:53,860
I'm so sorry. What?

1973
02:46:53,860 --> 02:46:56,860
We're gonna move on with this conversation.

1974
02:46:56,860 --> 02:47:00,860
I wanted to bring up something to you.

1975
02:47:00,860 --> 02:47:12,860
The other human we saw today, are you friends?

1976
02:47:12,860 --> 02:47:14,860
Not anymore.

1977
02:47:14,860 --> 02:47:17,860
Wow. That happened very quickly.

1978
02:47:17,860 --> 02:47:21,860
Well, this conversation advanced very quickly, didn't it, Cereac?

1979
02:47:21,860 --> 02:47:30,860
You know what, I'm not deft at these sorts of things. So, I apologize if this is a bit crass.

1980
02:47:30,860 --> 02:47:35,860
I'm fine. If you're asking me if I'm fine.

1981
02:47:35,860 --> 02:47:38,860
That's what I was getting to.

1982
02:47:38,860 --> 02:47:44,860
This is not the first time that I've met a person and instantly given them my number.

1983
02:47:44,860 --> 02:47:46,860
And then it's gone horribly wrong for me.

1984
02:47:46,860 --> 02:47:54,860
I'm so sorry. I do not remember this. Did you give that teenager your number?

1985
02:47:54,860 --> 02:48:00,860
Yeah, it was in case they got any information about where our shit was stolen to.

1986
02:48:00,860 --> 02:48:07,860
Turns out they stole our stuff. But he was really frazzled and it was kind of funny.

1987
02:48:07,860 --> 02:48:12,860
Dressed it up a little bit. I think he took it to heart a little too much, though.

1988
02:48:12,860 --> 02:48:19,860
And then he fought us and stole our stuff. So, yeah, I don't see a potential for a long-term relationship there.

1989
02:48:19,860 --> 02:48:21,860
Right. It kind of burned the bridge.

1990
02:48:21,860 --> 02:48:23,860
Kind of a bummer.

1991
02:48:23,860 --> 02:48:26,860
That's unfortunate.

1992
02:48:26,860 --> 02:48:28,860
Yeah, it's all in me.

1993
02:48:28,860 --> 02:48:37,860
But, um, I just wanted to check that you were alright.

1994
02:48:37,860 --> 02:48:43,860
I don't know what those little pods were, but I'm sure that they weren't fun.

1995
02:48:43,860 --> 02:48:50,860
I was just doing a sick ollie on repeat in mine.

1996
02:48:50,860 --> 02:48:51,860
Forever?

1997
02:48:51,860 --> 02:48:55,860
We might want to check on Aig and Azam, though, because they seem pretty...

1998
02:48:55,860 --> 02:48:58,860
Are you doing an ollie? First of all, who's ollie?

1999
02:48:58,860 --> 02:49:04,860
Oh, are you going to be on guard for every love interest in my backstory from here on out?

2000
02:49:04,860 --> 02:49:10,860
No, that's not what I meant. I just meant, do you know someone named Ollie?

2001
02:49:10,860 --> 02:49:12,860
Because I don't know an ollie.

2002
02:49:12,860 --> 02:49:15,860
No, Ollie, it's like when your skateboard goes, woo!

2003
02:49:15,860 --> 02:49:20,860
I also want to specify, you are in person.

2004
02:49:20,860 --> 02:49:23,860
I'm more so just, that was just a complete stranger.

2005
02:49:23,860 --> 02:49:28,860
It was my point of just giving them your number. I don't care if you have intercourse with them or not.

2006
02:49:28,860 --> 02:49:38,860
Whoa! Okay. Oh my god, Dr. Firiak, you do not need to give me the talk on top of the password.

2007
02:49:38,860 --> 02:49:40,860
Is that too personal?

2008
02:49:40,860 --> 02:49:43,860
Uh, a little, yeah, maybe not personal, super awkward.

2009
02:49:43,860 --> 02:49:45,860
I'm really sorry.

2010
02:49:45,860 --> 02:49:49,860
That's okay, I like your heart's in the right place.

2011
02:49:49,860 --> 02:49:55,860
I don't really have a heart, but thank you. Alright.

2012
02:49:55,860 --> 02:49:58,860
Okay.

2013
02:49:58,860 --> 02:50:00,860
Let's...

2014
02:50:00,860 --> 02:50:02,860
What?

2015
02:50:02,860 --> 02:50:04,860
Uh, do you want...

2016
02:50:04,860 --> 02:50:06,860
No, you don't?

2017
02:50:06,860 --> 02:50:09,860
Okay, well...

2018
02:50:09,860 --> 02:50:14,860
Uh, I should also clarify. I...

2019
02:50:14,860 --> 02:50:19,860
I'm not an animal, so, like, I...

2020
02:50:19,860 --> 02:50:23,860
My people don't reproduce the same way, so I'm...

2021
02:50:23,860 --> 02:50:26,860
I'm sorry. Anyway...

2022
02:50:26,860 --> 02:50:31,860
Good talk. Let's talk more about religion. That will be a sure topic for next time.

2023
02:50:31,860 --> 02:50:38,860
Yeah, good talk. Tell you what, Dr. Firiak, you can try to relate to me another day.

2024
02:50:38,860 --> 02:50:39,860
That sounds...

2025
02:50:39,860 --> 02:50:45,860
This was a very good first attempt. I do appreciate it.

2026
02:50:45,860 --> 02:50:50,860
I'm going to go check on Azam. I already checked with Ike. But thank you.

2027
02:50:50,860 --> 02:50:52,860
How's she doing?

2028
02:50:52,860 --> 02:50:55,860
A little... a little worn out.

2029
02:50:55,860 --> 02:50:58,860
Yeah. I'm sure she would like some company, right?

2030
02:50:58,860 --> 02:51:00,860
Are you going to be okay getting down from here by yourself?

2031
02:51:00,860 --> 02:51:02,860
Uh, yeah. I'll be alright.

2032
02:51:02,860 --> 02:51:06,860
And just fully, like, flips up. Because as they start walking...

2033
02:51:06,860 --> 02:51:11,860
I, like, do a little circle around them with my board, and then head through the window.

2034
02:51:15,860 --> 02:51:19,860
Kick it up into my hands. Magnetize it to my back.

2035
02:51:19,860 --> 02:51:21,860
Hello! We're back!

2036
02:51:21,860 --> 02:51:25,860
That was a nice little exercise.

2037
02:51:25,860 --> 02:51:29,860
Yeah. That's my favorite spot on the ship. That's my thinking spot.

2038
02:51:29,860 --> 02:51:32,860
That's a very good thinking spot. Wow.

2039
02:51:32,860 --> 02:51:34,860
Maybe I'll move my laboratory up there.

2040
02:51:34,860 --> 02:51:36,860
No. That's my spot.

2041
02:51:36,860 --> 02:51:38,860
I'm kidding. It would turn on a fire lamp.

2042
02:51:38,860 --> 02:51:40,860
Do do do do do do do do do do do do.

2043
02:51:40,860 --> 02:51:43,860
Hey. We're here to talk about feelings.

2044
02:51:43,860 --> 02:51:48,860
Uh, Azam looks like he's asleep. He's only got one boot on.

2045
02:51:48,860 --> 02:51:52,860
His left boot is just knocked onto the floor.

2046
02:51:52,860 --> 02:51:56,860
His right boot's still on. His arms are crossed over his chest as he lies down.

2047
02:51:56,860 --> 02:51:59,860
And in one of his hands, he's rolling something in his palm.

2048
02:51:59,860 --> 02:52:05,860
I'm gonna be snoopy. What's he rolling in his palm?

2049
02:52:05,860 --> 02:52:09,860
I guess I'll do a sleight of hand check. You do a perception check. We'll see what happens.

2050
02:52:09,860 --> 02:52:11,860
I got a 12.

2051
02:52:11,860 --> 02:52:12,860
22.

2052
02:52:12,860 --> 02:52:19,860
So, um, first off, the boot on the floor, the soul, the in-soul has been taken out of it.

2053
02:52:19,860 --> 02:52:23,860
And the thing rolling in his palm looks suspiciously like a ring.

2054
02:52:23,860 --> 02:52:28,860
This guy slowly closes the hand again.

2055
02:52:28,860 --> 02:52:32,860
Steps back.

2056
02:52:32,860 --> 02:52:37,860
Wow. That's a tragic backstory he's got there.

2057
02:52:37,860 --> 02:52:38,860
It's not that tragic.

2058
02:52:38,860 --> 02:52:40,860
Ah! Oh my god! Ah!

2059
02:52:40,860 --> 02:52:42,860
I didn't know you were awake!

2060
02:52:42,860 --> 02:52:43,860
Oh, he's alive.

2061
02:52:43,860 --> 02:52:47,860
Oh, I'm just closing my eyes for a bit.

2062
02:52:47,860 --> 02:52:50,860
I was engaged. That's all.

2063
02:52:50,860 --> 02:52:54,860
I take the ring in my palm. I put it back in the heel of the boot.

2064
02:52:54,860 --> 02:52:57,860
Put the in-soul on top of it and put my boot back on.

2065
02:52:57,860 --> 02:53:05,860
I'm assuming your fiancé was in the time loop?

2066
02:53:05,860 --> 02:53:07,860
You'd be assuming correctly, yeah.

2067
02:53:07,860 --> 02:53:09,860
What were they like?

2068
02:53:09,860 --> 02:53:11,860
They were...

2069
02:53:11,860 --> 02:53:12,860
He was...

2070
02:53:12,860 --> 02:53:15,860
I can't talk. Not yet. I'm sorry.

2071
02:53:15,860 --> 02:53:17,860
How come?

2072
02:53:17,860 --> 02:53:23,860
Because I spent 30 years of my life on Paws, which means I'm still very much in love.

2073
02:53:23,860 --> 02:53:25,860
And that hurts?

2074
02:53:25,860 --> 02:53:28,860
Every day.

2075
02:53:28,860 --> 02:53:32,860
Reac, you wanted to talk?

2076
02:53:32,860 --> 02:53:36,860
I just came in to check on you.

2077
02:53:36,860 --> 02:53:40,860
Oh, of course I'm fine. The day's worse. No big deal.

2078
02:53:40,860 --> 02:53:43,860
Well...

2079
02:53:43,860 --> 02:53:44,860
Uh...

2080
02:53:44,860 --> 02:53:51,860
The existence of a more extreme option doesn't mean that the situation you are currently in is not also extreme.

2081
02:53:51,860 --> 02:53:55,860
Reac, I say this very kindly.

2082
02:53:55,860 --> 02:53:58,860
Let it go.

2083
02:53:58,860 --> 02:53:59,860
This one thing.

2084
02:53:59,860 --> 02:54:00,860
Aye.

2085
02:54:00,860 --> 02:54:01,860
Only thing I'd ask you.

2086
02:54:01,860 --> 02:54:04,860
Fully?

2087
02:54:04,860 --> 02:54:07,860
It is...

2088
02:54:07,860 --> 02:54:09,860
up to you.

2089
02:54:09,860 --> 02:54:14,860
I'm surprised you're not asking how a relationship was cultivated, considering... never mind.

2090
02:54:14,860 --> 02:54:17,860
You just said to drop it, dude!

2091
02:54:17,860 --> 02:54:18,860
Excuse me.

2092
02:54:18,860 --> 02:54:23,860
No, all I'm saying is every single time I talk about my biology, this one gets more and more confused.

2093
02:54:23,860 --> 02:54:24,860
It's very funny.

2094
02:54:24,860 --> 02:54:26,860
Oh, don't even get me started on theory, Reac, and biology.

2095
02:54:26,860 --> 02:54:31,860
Oh my god. I just... I...

2096
02:54:31,860 --> 02:54:35,860
Everyone will think I'm some sort of sex sphinx at this point.

2097
02:54:35,860 --> 02:54:39,860
No one was thinking that theory, Reac! Why would you say that?

2098
02:54:39,860 --> 02:54:45,860
Because I've... I've whipped it with two of you out of four.

2099
02:54:45,860 --> 02:54:51,860
I'm... This is terrible. I should just jump off the ship. I should have never attacked the core.

2100
02:54:51,860 --> 02:54:55,860
Well, the free use of sexual relations is kind of a bonding mechanism, so...

2101
02:54:55,860 --> 02:54:56,860
Oh my god.

2102
02:54:56,860 --> 02:55:01,860
It's... You know, some of us are in relationships, some of us are not, so...

2103
02:55:01,860 --> 02:55:11,860
Because we still need very close... sort of relationships to help rear children, even if we don't biologically produce them.

2104
02:55:11,860 --> 02:55:14,860
Okay, I'm gonna go find Ike. Bye!

2105
02:55:14,860 --> 02:55:17,860
Alright. Good... Thank you, Skye. We had a good talk today.

2106
02:55:17,860 --> 02:55:18,860
Good talk!

2107
02:55:18,860 --> 02:55:24,860
I haven't even gotten started about puberty yet. That's a confusing mess.

2108
02:55:24,860 --> 02:55:31,860
That's... So your people also raise in, like, generations?

2109
02:55:31,860 --> 02:55:32,860
Yeah.

2110
02:55:32,860 --> 02:55:38,860
That's very interesting. I'm not sure I'd met another people like that.

2111
02:55:38,860 --> 02:55:45,860
Generations help us understand our... We make it easy to pass on history through oral methods.

2112
02:55:45,860 --> 02:55:49,860
We make it easy to pass on certain duties and jobs.

2113
02:55:49,860 --> 02:55:57,860
Also, it means you always grow up with people who truly understand you, but who have more wisdom than you.

2114
02:55:57,860 --> 02:56:07,860
So you never feel lost, unless you hide things, which of course we all do, but ideally it's not supposed to work like that.

2115
02:56:07,860 --> 02:56:11,860
Then you grow up, you start new generations of your own.

2116
02:56:11,860 --> 02:56:17,860
Pass on what your family's knew, and new interpretations are found.

2117
02:56:17,860 --> 02:56:22,860
Dear Freed, we're a living, grieving history.

2118
02:56:22,860 --> 02:56:32,860
We don't often write too much, probably because, as you can tell, if I don't really see color, seeing ink is... difficult.

2119
02:56:32,860 --> 02:56:36,860
Sure. Um...

2120
02:56:36,860 --> 02:56:43,860
Plus, like I said, we do really need... We really do need hands to get through puberty.

2121
02:56:43,860 --> 02:56:49,860
It's a bit of a... Well, it's a bit of a hot mess, quite literally.

2122
02:56:49,860 --> 02:56:58,860
So... Did you mention something about your people being... displaced or something like that?

2123
02:56:58,860 --> 02:57:05,860
Urim is not our first home planet, no. At least not according to some of the ancient legends, but it was generations back.

2124
02:57:05,860 --> 02:57:09,860
Things change over time. Maybe we used to call it something else.

2125
02:57:09,860 --> 02:57:15,860
And your people... currently... do not...

2126
02:57:15,860 --> 02:57:18,860
Have a planet at all.

2127
02:57:18,860 --> 02:57:19,860
Right.

2128
02:57:19,860 --> 02:57:30,860
The ancient legends is this. Before Urim, there was Uber. Before Uber... well, another planet, you know?

2129
02:57:30,860 --> 02:57:37,860
At each time, the planet, like we do as we age, would cool to the point we could no longer live on it.

2130
02:57:37,860 --> 02:57:42,860
At that time, the core of the planet would cool to us.

2131
02:57:42,860 --> 02:57:49,860
And we, through it, would make a trek to a new home. Start over.

2132
02:57:49,860 --> 02:57:55,860
Because again, we don't write much down, although we know a lot of our own history.

2133
02:57:55,860 --> 02:58:01,860
It's those oral legends that keep our culture alive.

2134
02:58:01,860 --> 02:58:10,860
The strange thing is, for a brief time in our history, and it's only happened once before, we were on the same planet at the same time as another species.

2135
02:58:10,860 --> 02:58:12,860
But it's only happened once.

2136
02:58:12,860 --> 02:58:15,860
Do you know what species?

2137
02:58:15,860 --> 02:58:19,860
Well, you mentioned it yourself, right?

2138
02:58:19,860 --> 02:58:22,860
I look suspiciously human.

2139
02:58:22,860 --> 02:58:23,860
Oh!

2140
02:58:23,860 --> 02:58:25,860
But again, only a legend.

2141
02:58:25,860 --> 02:58:31,860
Truth is, I can choose, well, I could have when I was younger, to choose to look like almost anyone.

2142
02:58:31,860 --> 02:58:36,860
When we were young, we were hotter, we were more amorphous.

2143
02:58:36,860 --> 02:58:39,860
We don't choose bits and pieces of ourselves.

2144
02:58:39,860 --> 02:58:44,860
I do mean all bits and pieces, until we start cooling down as we hit puberty.

2145
02:58:44,860 --> 02:58:45,860
That's what I meant, hot mess.

2146
02:58:45,860 --> 02:58:49,860
So, over time, we shape ourselves into what we want to look like.

2147
02:58:49,860 --> 02:58:55,860
Decide more of ourselves, sometimes we pick up a new name.

2148
02:58:55,860 --> 02:58:59,860
It's quite beautiful.

2149
02:58:59,860 --> 02:59:03,860
No, it's really not. I understand, metaphorically, very pretty.

2150
02:59:03,860 --> 02:59:06,860
Everyone really chooses to be who they want to be.

2151
02:59:06,860 --> 02:59:10,860
But one, people still change internally, even as they get older.

2152
02:59:10,860 --> 02:59:15,860
I kind of settled on roughly this, and have had to live with it since.

2153
02:59:15,860 --> 02:59:22,860
But more importantly, we're literally beings of fire and lava.

2154
02:59:22,860 --> 02:59:29,860
Everywhere gets uncomfortable, very hot, and I do mean that more than usual.

2155
02:59:29,860 --> 02:59:33,860
So the whole world seems cold in comparison.

2156
02:59:33,860 --> 02:59:36,860
Everything gets super itchy.

2157
02:59:36,860 --> 02:59:39,860
Do you wish that you could reshape yourself?

2158
02:59:39,860 --> 02:59:40,860
No, no.

2159
02:59:40,860 --> 02:59:47,860
I mean, I've gained a couple more in the front, and I probably should have.

2160
02:59:47,860 --> 02:59:50,860
No, I like me. I like me.

2161
02:59:50,860 --> 02:59:56,860
And truth be told, this body represents who I was and who I wanted to be.

2162
02:59:56,860 --> 03:00:02,860
Even if who I want to be changes, it still means something, you know?

2163
03:00:02,860 --> 03:00:05,860
Beards a bit new though.

2164
03:00:05,860 --> 03:00:07,860
I'm a fan of it.

2165
03:00:07,860 --> 03:00:09,860
Oh, is that recent?

2166
03:00:09,860 --> 03:00:14,860
Yeah, yeah, once you choose to grow.

2167
03:00:14,860 --> 03:00:16,860
We all have some sort of...

2168
03:00:16,860 --> 03:00:20,860
This is kind of, I point to the crust on my arms, kind of facial hair of a body.

2169
03:00:20,860 --> 03:00:21,860
And this is...

2170
03:00:21,860 --> 03:00:22,860
Hold on.

2171
03:00:22,860 --> 03:00:27,860
And I pull out one long, wiry hair from my beard.

2172
03:00:27,860 --> 03:00:29,860
High and heavy metal deposits.

2173
03:00:29,860 --> 03:00:32,860
We extrude them throughout our lifetime.

2174
03:00:32,860 --> 03:00:41,860
Kind of holds the single hair, as it's still kind of red at the edge that was in your skin.

2175
03:00:41,860 --> 03:00:44,860
You could pick a lock for that.

2176
03:00:44,860 --> 03:00:48,860
I'm not joking, I've actually done it.

2177
03:00:48,860 --> 03:00:51,860
Just barely touches it.

2178
03:00:51,860 --> 03:00:53,860
This is...

2179
03:00:53,860 --> 03:00:58,860
Do you know who attacked your people?

2180
03:00:58,860 --> 03:01:06,860
Or displaced them, or your planet?

2181
03:01:06,860 --> 03:01:13,860
An energy company.

2182
03:01:13,860 --> 03:01:17,860
They came to our homeland.

2183
03:01:17,860 --> 03:01:25,860
We built a space station up above the planet for trade and such.

2184
03:01:25,860 --> 03:01:32,860
We already discovered how to go into galactic, but we weren't very interested in, you know, exploring too much of the cosmos.

2185
03:01:32,860 --> 03:01:35,860
We've been more our own people.

2186
03:01:35,860 --> 03:01:37,860
Sure.

2187
03:01:37,860 --> 03:01:45,860
They told us they wanted a small portion of our planet for research, for jobs, for welfare.

2188
03:01:45,860 --> 03:01:47,860
Promised us a lot in return.

2189
03:01:47,860 --> 03:01:48,860
I was against it.

2190
03:01:48,860 --> 03:01:52,860
A few of us were also, but...

2191
03:01:52,860 --> 03:02:00,860
No one could have predicted how much they'd take, and take, and take.

2192
03:02:00,860 --> 03:02:02,860
They kept saying, well, it's still livable.

2193
03:02:02,860 --> 03:02:04,860
In fact, it's more livable.

2194
03:02:04,860 --> 03:02:08,860
But it was livable for them, not for us.

2195
03:02:08,860 --> 03:02:10,860
So it's a planet coolant.

2196
03:02:10,860 --> 03:02:25,860
As our caps turned from lush gardens into snowy and ice-ridden tundras, we lost a bit of ourselves in the process.

2197
03:02:25,860 --> 03:02:30,860
And do you know the company?

2198
03:02:30,860 --> 03:02:34,860
CERT. CERT Energy.

2199
03:02:34,860 --> 03:02:36,860
CERT Energy?

2200
03:02:36,860 --> 03:02:40,860
Yeah, it's named after a god, I think.

2201
03:02:40,860 --> 03:02:44,860
Something along those lines.

2202
03:02:44,860 --> 03:02:49,860
Geothermal energy, for the most part. At least, that's what they took from us.

2203
03:02:49,860 --> 03:02:52,860
Geothermal?

2204
03:02:52,860 --> 03:02:54,860
Hey, Matt!

2205
03:02:54,860 --> 03:02:55,860
Hello.

2206
03:02:55,860 --> 03:02:59,860
The energy company works alongside Wildtimes.

2207
03:02:59,860 --> 03:03:02,860
Fuck!

2208
03:03:02,860 --> 03:03:09,860
That's not the only person who's concerned in this chat.

2209
03:03:09,860 --> 03:03:16,860
Oh. CERT.

2210
03:03:16,860 --> 03:03:25,860
I'm told it's quite a big company. Most people are familiar with it in some shape or form.

2211
03:03:25,860 --> 03:03:29,860
Firiak, you're right. You look nervous about something.

2212
03:03:29,860 --> 03:03:35,860
Oh, my skin's peeling off. That's terrible. I have to take care of myself.

2213
03:03:35,860 --> 03:03:38,860
We'll talk at dinner, perhaps.

2214
03:03:38,860 --> 03:03:42,860
I must away. I'm terribly sorry.

2215
03:03:42,860 --> 03:03:48,860
Must away?

2216
03:03:48,860 --> 03:03:54,860
Ike, thank god. Oh my god. Firiak and Azam are trying to talk about sex to me.

2217
03:03:54,860 --> 03:03:57,860
Oh my god, that's incredibly inappropriate.

2218
03:03:57,860 --> 03:03:59,860
I'm so sorry. Why?

2219
03:03:59,860 --> 03:04:04,860
I think they're trying to be weird and parental.

2220
03:04:04,860 --> 03:04:08,860
Yeah, they're not. Oh, that's not... Yeah, no. Okay.

2221
03:04:08,860 --> 03:04:13,860
Hi. I'm so sorry. Come on in here.

2222
03:04:13,860 --> 03:04:15,860
Nice place you got here.

2223
03:04:15,860 --> 03:04:17,860
Thanks.

2224
03:04:17,860 --> 03:04:19,860
I like it.

2225
03:04:19,860 --> 03:04:22,860
Oh, well, those are...

2226
03:04:22,860 --> 03:04:25,860
Actually, those are no one, I think.

2227
03:04:25,860 --> 03:04:29,860
But this is...

2228
03:04:29,860 --> 03:04:33,860
Dr. Firiak and I, we did quite a scary thing.

2229
03:04:33,860 --> 03:04:39,860
We went into school and they had to take our picture.

2230
03:04:39,860 --> 03:04:47,860
And I was actually quite proud. I tricked the little computer to blur out their pictures so that it wouldn't show up.

2231
03:04:47,860 --> 03:04:51,860
Anyway, I was just... I thought that it was pretty neat.

2232
03:04:51,860 --> 03:04:53,860
Yeah, it's a nice shot.

2233
03:04:53,860 --> 03:04:57,860
Thanks.

2234
03:04:57,860 --> 03:05:00,860
I'm glad you came.

2235
03:05:00,860 --> 03:05:08,860
That was not okay, what happened.

2236
03:05:08,860 --> 03:05:16,860
And I just... you have my word that we won't have to speak about it.

2237
03:05:16,860 --> 03:05:22,860
You don't want to, but...

2238
03:05:22,860 --> 03:05:28,860
Also, I don't want you to feel alone, so...

2239
03:05:28,860 --> 03:05:35,860
I'm here.

2240
03:05:35,860 --> 03:05:39,860
Cool, thanks.

2241
03:05:39,860 --> 03:05:46,860
I'm not used to having anybody be there, so...

2242
03:05:46,860 --> 03:05:51,860
There's pretty stellar.

2243
03:05:51,860 --> 03:05:56,860
Me either, to be completely honest.

2244
03:05:56,860 --> 03:06:03,860
This is very new to me, so I kind of want to get it right, no?

2245
03:06:03,860 --> 03:06:06,860
I don't think anybody can, you know?

2246
03:06:06,860 --> 03:06:12,860
I had a whole conversation with Firiak up top, life being messy and stuff.

2247
03:06:12,860 --> 03:06:20,860
These clippings aren't buds of yours? Do you hang them up for motivation?

2248
03:06:20,860 --> 03:06:28,860
My colleagues, I guess.

2249
03:06:28,860 --> 03:06:32,860
Friends, I thought.

2250
03:06:32,860 --> 03:06:36,860
But I'm not sure anymore.

2251
03:06:36,860 --> 03:06:47,860
They might not be the best people, but I don't know enough yet.

2252
03:06:47,860 --> 03:06:58,860
Maybe we have an upper-decker and lower-decker ratio of problems,

2253
03:06:58,860 --> 03:07:08,860
but I can relate to thinking people had your best intentions at mind,

2254
03:07:08,860 --> 03:07:12,860
and it turns out they didn't.

2255
03:07:12,860 --> 03:07:17,860
So, we got that.

2256
03:07:17,860 --> 03:07:20,860
Yeah.

2257
03:07:20,860 --> 03:07:25,860
That's not something you need to be concerned about.

2258
03:07:25,860 --> 03:07:40,860
I will figure it out, and I'm very happy that we're here and on the patchwork together.

2259
03:07:40,860 --> 03:07:43,860
Me too.

2260
03:07:43,860 --> 03:07:54,860
A few hours pass, and there is a ding of light in the cockpit.

2261
03:07:54,860 --> 03:08:02,860
Scrap sees it, flicks a few buttons, and then there is a loud shh-shh-shh-shh of a fax.

2262
03:08:02,860 --> 03:08:07,860
And they pull a piece of paper out and look at it.

2263
03:08:07,860 --> 03:08:10,860
Uh, hey, Skye, are you busy?

2264
03:08:10,860 --> 03:08:14,860
Uh, depends.

2265
03:08:14,860 --> 03:08:20,860
There's a...apparently you have a delivery coming.

2266
03:08:20,860 --> 03:08:27,860
He wants you to grab your hoverboard and just hop outside.

2267
03:08:27,860 --> 03:08:41,860
Okay, I grab my bowstaff, three grenades, put them in my pant pocket, and put my gas mask on.

2268
03:08:41,860 --> 03:08:44,860
And I go outside!

2269
03:08:44,860 --> 03:08:48,860
Shhhhhh!

2270
03:08:48,860 --> 03:08:59,860
The galaxy is the same colourful but empty that it normally is.

2271
03:08:59,860 --> 03:09:04,860
You're only a few hours out of the asteroid field that Helium was sat in.

2272
03:09:04,860 --> 03:09:08,860
You can still faintly see Saga.

2273
03:09:08,860 --> 03:09:14,860
You're coming across Raan, so you can see that a little larger.

2274
03:09:14,860 --> 03:09:23,860
You look up and there is a ripple in the sky, a wave, and then a ship immediately comes in, floats alongside,

2275
03:09:23,860 --> 03:09:27,860
around the same size as the patchwork.

2276
03:09:27,860 --> 03:09:30,860
It's golden, honeyed yellow.

2277
03:09:30,860 --> 03:09:33,860
The maidenhead is a bunch of different trinkets.

2278
03:09:33,860 --> 03:09:47,860
It's ramp open, and you see hanging off the ramp, wearing these skates and holding a duffel bag.

2279
03:09:47,860 --> 03:09:51,860
Goggles on, gas mask is Flair.

2280
03:09:51,860 --> 03:09:56,860
What's up, dillweed?

2281
03:09:56,860 --> 03:10:06,860
Hey, um, sorry, you gave me my number, you gave me your number, but I couldn't text you, because I took it.

2282
03:10:06,860 --> 03:10:09,860
So... hands the duffel bag.

2283
03:10:09,860 --> 03:10:11,860
I think that's all your stuff.

2284
03:10:11,860 --> 03:10:14,860
Payment for getting us out of there.

2285
03:10:14,860 --> 03:10:16,860
My comics in there?

2286
03:10:16,860 --> 03:10:19,860
Everything. I read the comics, though. They're good?

2287
03:10:19,860 --> 03:10:28,860
I have a number one of Trog-Trog-Barbarians, that's for sure in there, right?

2288
03:10:28,860 --> 03:10:33,860
Oh yeah, no, it's real good. Yeah, I read that like twice.

2289
03:10:33,860 --> 03:10:39,860
I use my bow staff to take the handle of the duffel bag.

2290
03:10:39,860 --> 03:10:48,860
They let it go and it flows, floats rather, through space and then lands over your bow staff.

2291
03:10:48,860 --> 03:10:50,860
We're not staying long.

2292
03:10:50,860 --> 03:10:51,860
Good.

2293
03:10:51,860 --> 03:10:57,860
I just figured I wanted to text you. The galaxy's a big place, but it's getting smaller.

2294
03:10:57,860 --> 03:10:59,860
Can I cut in?

2295
03:10:59,860 --> 03:11:00,860
Yeah.

2296
03:11:00,860 --> 03:11:06,860
Ugh, who's old? You again.

2297
03:11:06,860 --> 03:11:08,860
Do you see him like through the window?

2298
03:11:08,860 --> 03:11:10,860
Uh oh. Uh oh, Dad's here.

2299
03:11:10,860 --> 03:11:13,860
Yeah, through the window, getting pressed up against this.

2300
03:11:13,860 --> 03:11:16,860
I like open up a com to the outside.

2301
03:11:16,860 --> 03:11:19,860
You here to steal from us again?

2302
03:11:19,860 --> 03:11:26,860
Uh, that's not, um, I'm handling it. Yeah, you stole our stuff.

2303
03:11:26,860 --> 03:11:38,860
I make a motion towards my eyes and I point the fingers pointing at my eyes through the glass at Flair and shake my head disapprovingly.

2304
03:11:38,860 --> 03:11:43,860
I appreciate the fact that you got us out of that situation. We're not fans of H.E.R.S. ourselves.

2305
03:11:43,860 --> 03:11:56,860
I appreciate the part you did, getting us, uh, you shot at them. Thank you for that.

2306
03:11:56,860 --> 03:12:01,860
Your nose looks stupid. Stupid nose.

2307
03:12:01,860 --> 03:12:11,860
Wow. Wow. You are so perturbed right now. I apologize. I'm gonna go. I'm gonna let you cool off.

2308
03:12:11,860 --> 03:12:16,860
But, uh, text you later, Stardust.

2309
03:12:16,860 --> 03:12:20,860
Get out of here.

2310
03:12:20,860 --> 03:12:27,860
Uh, they wink and then, like, they walk backwards on their skates for a little bit, continuing to stare.

2311
03:12:27,860 --> 03:12:35,860
They turn and ride off into the ramp that starts lowering before they get in and they hop inside.

2312
03:12:35,860 --> 03:12:42,860
There's a rumble and a twist and then the ship off into the distance.

2313
03:12:42,860 --> 03:12:45,860
God, I hate him.

2314
03:12:45,860 --> 03:12:51,860
I knock on the window and just, like, raise my arms in a shrug and look directly at Skye.

2315
03:12:51,860 --> 03:12:56,860
I grab the top of the window and I kick myself back in.

2316
03:12:56,860 --> 03:13:00,860
Got our stuff back.

2317
03:13:00,860 --> 03:13:03,860
Yeah, I saw that. You were right. Did we really?

2318
03:13:03,860 --> 03:13:10,860
Yeah. I'm gonna double- I'm gonna make sure that my issue one, Trog Bar the Barbarian, is actually in there.

2319
03:13:10,860 --> 03:13:24,860
You, uh, look through and everything seems to be in there, as well as what looks like a new set of goggles.

2320
03:13:24,860 --> 03:13:26,860
What did it look like?

2321
03:13:26,860 --> 03:13:39,860
They have this green tint to them, leather strap, but on the top is a small dial that, when turned, seems to-

2322
03:13:39,860 --> 03:13:47,860
there is a small, like, electronic viewfinder that turns almost like a camera lens.

2323
03:13:47,860 --> 03:13:49,860
That's cool.

2324
03:13:49,860 --> 03:13:51,860
And seems to be able to zoom in-

2325
03:13:51,860 --> 03:13:53,860
I think you're being wooed, Skye.

2326
03:13:53,860 --> 03:13:58,860
Gross! No! Take this wooing away from me!

2327
03:13:58,860 --> 03:14:05,860
Hold on. Was this the same teenager who just dropped this off?

2328
03:14:05,860 --> 03:14:09,860
Yeah, the one who stole our stuff. Oh, how kind of him to give it back.

2329
03:14:09,860 --> 03:14:12,860
Well, he didn't have to. That was very kind of him.

2330
03:14:12,860 --> 03:14:14,860
Very economic.

2331
03:14:14,860 --> 03:14:16,860
That was very kind of him, actually.

2332
03:14:16,860 --> 03:14:20,860
Skye, do you like this boy?

2333
03:14:20,860 --> 03:14:24,860
No! I hate him! He stole our stuff! He's gross! I don't like him!

2334
03:14:24,860 --> 03:14:27,860
Oh, I- I'm not allowed to listen to this.

2335
03:14:27,860 --> 03:14:33,860
Do I need a sense motive check to determine that this is not truthful?

2336
03:14:33,860 --> 03:14:40,860
I will tell you, it's typical teenager stuff where she's like, I don't like him! Right? I don't like him! No!

2337
03:14:40,860 --> 03:14:45,860
I lean into Bittis' guy and kind of whisper conspiratorially,

2338
03:14:45,860 --> 03:14:51,860
if you want this to be believable, you can't be so anxious, you know, so up and at him to yell back.

2339
03:14:51,860 --> 03:14:59,860
What kind of believable? I don't like him! I raise my voice when I'm being very honest!

2340
03:14:59,860 --> 03:15:04,860
Skye, you and I both know that's not true.

2341
03:15:04,860 --> 03:15:06,860
Ah!

2342
03:15:06,860 --> 03:15:12,860
At this point, can I hear the commotion of Skye yelling and-

2343
03:15:12,860 --> 03:15:16,860
You see the Eureka just like walking out. Not allowed.

2344
03:15:16,860 --> 03:15:18,860
No, that seems-

2345
03:15:18,860 --> 03:15:22,860
The ship is- Patchwork's very small, so everyone can hear this.

2346
03:15:22,860 --> 03:15:24,860
Everything alright?

2347
03:15:24,860 --> 03:15:30,860
Yeah, Fleur, the ruffian from earlier, decided to return our things.

2348
03:15:30,860 --> 03:15:36,860
Oh! Oh, how nice! That's good!

2349
03:15:36,860 --> 03:15:38,860
That's not good!

2350
03:15:38,860 --> 03:15:39,860
No, it's not! No!

2351
03:15:39,860 --> 03:15:40,860
He's bad!

2352
03:15:40,860 --> 03:15:41,860
He's bad!

2353
03:15:41,860 --> 03:15:45,860
It's a good thing, but it's not enough, right?

2354
03:15:45,860 --> 03:15:54,860
But I'm right! I'm glad he did the bare minimum of returning the things that he stole.

2355
03:15:54,860 --> 03:16:02,860
Very glad to see that. That is a good sign, for sure.

2356
03:16:02,860 --> 03:16:12,860
What were we speaking about, you know, ruffians? The older one, you know, that one. What was he like?

2357
03:16:12,860 --> 03:16:20,860
I don't know. I had very few interactions with him, except when he was attacking us and taking our stuff! Are we forgetting this, people?

2358
03:16:20,860 --> 03:16:22,860
I mean-

2359
03:16:22,860 --> 03:16:27,860
No, I don't forget that at all. It's just that, you know-

2360
03:16:27,860 --> 03:16:34,860
Well, it wasn't the whole crew that was bringing it back. It was just him.

2361
03:16:34,860 --> 03:16:46,860
Well, I imagine that if the big, broad wolfman wanted to bring things back, he'd just send Fleur to do it. Seems reasonable.

2362
03:16:46,860 --> 03:16:52,860
I'm going to shut my trap now. Let's see what our inner stuff will back belongs to.

2363
03:16:52,860 --> 03:16:55,860
Ooh, look, I think this is one of your enamel pins.

2364
03:16:55,860 --> 03:16:57,860
Oh, thank you!

2365
03:16:57,860 --> 03:16:59,860
They're okay!

2366
03:16:59,860 --> 03:17:00,860
Thank you!

2367
03:17:00,860 --> 03:17:01,860
I'm sorry!

2368
03:17:01,860 --> 03:17:02,860
We really just-

2369
03:17:02,860 --> 03:17:09,860
Yeah, there's a group- there's like collectible Disney pins from all the different parts.

2370
03:17:09,860 --> 03:17:22,860
Oh, thank you! My enamel pin collection is back! Thank goodness! This is a fictional character!

2371
03:17:22,860 --> 03:17:27,860
We're so good, and we're so happy that we have all of the enamel pins!

2372
03:17:27,860 --> 03:17:30,860
Your enamel pins are in here too!

2373
03:17:30,860 --> 03:17:33,860
Oh, hell yeah!

2374
03:17:33,860 --> 03:17:35,860
What is this enamel pin business?

2375
03:17:35,860 --> 03:17:36,860
They're just-

2376
03:17:36,860 --> 03:17:38,860
Oh, I collect enamel pins!

2377
03:17:38,860 --> 03:17:40,860
They're just nice!

2378
03:17:40,860 --> 03:17:42,860
What's that?

2379
03:17:42,860 --> 03:17:54,860
Are they like, what are they called? The little patches you get from different locations, you say, like, I've been here, and you put it on your luggage.

2380
03:17:54,860 --> 03:17:56,860
Precisely! Yeah!

2381
03:17:56,860 --> 03:18:07,860
Except they're a little more solid, and they last a bit longer, and they're shiny, and...

2382
03:18:07,860 --> 03:18:14,860
Now that I think about it, it might just be a rat thing, because the two rats collect the pins!

2383
03:18:14,860 --> 03:18:15,860
Sure!

2384
03:18:15,860 --> 03:18:17,860
It might just be a little rat thing.

2385
03:18:17,860 --> 03:18:21,860
Yeah, we just like to have a little shiny memorabilia of the things that we like.

2386
03:18:21,860 --> 03:18:22,860
That's all.

2387
03:18:22,860 --> 03:18:29,860
Oh, it looks like a- looks like you made a mistake here. It seems to have given us a lot of cooking herbs contained in a glass.

2388
03:18:29,860 --> 03:18:33,860
Oh, that- I'm so sorry. That's fine.

2389
03:18:33,860 --> 03:18:35,860
And, okay, we've got time.

2390
03:18:35,860 --> 03:18:37,860
Do you all collect things?

2391
03:18:37,860 --> 03:18:41,860
This is not a collection. This is just materials. It's different.

2392
03:18:41,860 --> 03:18:50,860
Also, I'm not a collector. I'm not a nerd. I just need to find out what happens next, and therefore I accumulate more issues.

2393
03:18:50,860 --> 03:18:56,860
This is very surprisingly good condition for something you don't collect.

2394
03:18:56,860 --> 03:18:59,860
Can I check my phone?

2395
03:18:59,860 --> 03:19:03,860
Let's see if I got any texts from Wonder Boy.

2396
03:19:03,860 --> 03:19:12,860
As you open your phone, you- the wallpaper has been changed on your phone to a picture of him going,

2397
03:19:12,860 --> 03:19:15,860
Oh, sticking out his tongue and then, dick!

2398
03:19:15,860 --> 03:19:17,860
Blowing up a peace sign.

2399
03:19:17,860 --> 03:19:22,860
Absolute knob of a boy.

2400
03:19:22,860 --> 03:19:25,860
I love this.

2401
03:19:25,860 --> 03:19:27,860
What a hooligan!

2402
03:19:27,860 --> 03:19:37,860
But there's also a text which says, you're ever in the mood for an- to upgrade your hoverboard, I have an idea.

2403
03:19:37,860 --> 03:19:39,860
It's real neat.

2404
03:19:39,860 --> 03:19:42,860
Little okay sign.

2405
03:19:42,860 --> 03:19:59,860
Thank you. You returning our things was a good thing to do.

2406
03:19:59,860 --> 03:20:07,860
I don't think you're good, but it was a good thing to do.

2407
03:20:07,860 --> 03:20:19,860
And thank you again for the goggles, though I hate that you're putting me in a position where I have to say thank you twice.

2408
03:20:19,860 --> 03:20:24,860
Send.

2409
03:20:24,860 --> 03:20:33,860
And as you click send, we zoom out of the patchwork.

2410
03:20:33,860 --> 03:20:49,860
It's flying through the atomless sea toward a large sign that says, Wild Times Zoological Park.

2411
03:20:49,860 --> 03:20:52,860
And that is where we're going to end session today.

2412
03:20:52,860 --> 03:20:53,860
It's so good!

2413
03:20:53,860 --> 03:21:04,860
Thank you so much everyone.

2414
03:21:04,860 --> 03:21:06,860
Hello there beautiful wonderful souls.

2415
03:21:06,860 --> 03:21:11,860
Oh my gosh, what a bloody intense and long episode of the atomless.

2416
03:21:11,860 --> 03:21:14,860
Thank you so much for listing. I appreciate it so much.

2417
03:21:14,860 --> 03:21:17,860
I have a few quick thank yous for a shout out to the players.

2418
03:21:17,860 --> 03:21:23,860
Our music today was provided by Artlist under their fair use license.

2419
03:21:23,860 --> 03:21:28,860
We have new music people gamers and they bop so hard.

2420
03:21:28,860 --> 03:21:31,860
Pretty much all the music that you hear is from them.

2421
03:21:31,860 --> 03:21:34,860
And our soundscapes are from Michael Guelphie.

03:21:34,860 --> 03:21:45,860
Again, under their fair use, you should absolutely go to Michael Guelphie's patron and Artlist's website because our show would not be what it is without them.

2423
03:21:45,860 --> 03:21:47,860
Thank you to our hosts for welcoming in.

03:21:47,860 --> 03:21:56,860

2425
03:21:56,860 --> 03:21:58,860
We love them so much.

2426
03:21:58,860 --> 03:22:05,860
We appreciate them housing us because we would not have a home otherwise.

2427
03:22:05,860 --> 03:22:08,860

03:22:26,860 --> 03:22:29,860
Thank you all so much for listening gamers.

2433
03:22:29,860 --> 03:22:31,860
I appreciate it so much.

2434
03:22:31,860 --> 03:22:40,860
I have spent so long on this edit, which you can probably tell as I imagine that you're going to be like, yes, Matthew, it's very overproduced because I die.

2435
03:22:40,860 --> 03:22:43,860
Oh my God, I've been so sick.

2436
03:22:43,860 --> 03:22:45,860
My last week has been absolute bonkers.

2437
03:22:45,860 --> 03:22:48,860
Anyway, anyway, y'all don't want to hear.

2438
03:22:48,860 --> 03:22:50,860
Gang, thank you so much for listening.

2439
03:22:50,860 --> 03:22:53,860
I appreciate it so much.

2440
03:22:53,860 --> 03:23:00,860
And the next time we fly through the atomless sea, I hope you will be there to fly with us.

2441
03:23:00,860 --> 03:23:02,860
Thank you so much, gang.

2442
03:23:02,860 --> 03:23:14,860
I bet you.
