18 00:00:59,920 --> 00:01:03,360 You see Lorik who is one of the board members 19 00:01:03,360 --> 00:01:06,560 Thank god, I didn't know if you'd be here in time 20 00:01:06,560 --> 00:01:10,560 I don't know what is happening to the park but things are weird 21 00:01:10,560 --> 00:01:14,080 I don't think Kiskekk went on holiday at all 22 00:01:14,080 --> 00:01:23,600 And then there is a shot that rings out as this purple energy is sucked out of Lorik's head 23 00:01:23,600 --> 00:01:30,880 And they fall down and this huge bolt of energy shoots out and hits all five of you 24 00:01:31,520 --> 00:01:33,760 And slowly begin to shrink 25 00:01:47,040 --> 00:01:52,240 The biggest bug looks up to the prettiest flower for its pollen 26 00:01:52,240 --> 00:01:57,600 The prettiest flower looks to the tallest tree for its roots and nutrients 27 00:01:58,160 --> 00:02:04,000 The tallest tree looks to the grandest buildings in hopes of being allowed some sunlight 28 00:02:04,560 --> 00:02:08,960 The grandest buildings look over the biggest countries to make them proud of their stature 29 00:02:09,600 --> 00:02:15,600 The biggest countries look to other planets and hope that they're impressed 30 00:02:15,600 --> 00:02:21,440 The planets look to the shining stars and hope to be noticed 31 00:02:21,440 --> 00:02:28,720 The most shining stars look to the galaxy that they sit in and hope that they are making it proud 32 00:02:29,520 --> 00:02:33,520 But what does the galaxy look to? 33 00:02:34,400 --> 00:02:37,120 It looks up to an endless void 34 00:02:37,840 --> 00:02:43,760 So would you believe that the galaxy finds its inspiration by looking down? 35 00:02:43,760 --> 00:02:49,680 Past the stars and the planets and the countries, the buildings, through the trees and flowers 36 00:02:49,680 --> 00:02:54,640 And past all the bugs to the smallest little crew 37 00:02:55,520 --> 00:03:02,400 A crew who doesn't yet know how important they are to the galaxy and how big they seem in its eyes 38 00:03:05,920 --> 00:03:11,920 The grass comes up to about twice your size ahead of you 39 00:03:11,920 --> 00:03:16,080 Is a new brush of infinite jungle 40 00:03:16,080 --> 00:03:19,040 The leaves cover every path in front of you 41 00:03:19,040 --> 00:03:26,320 And behind you is the body of an now dead giant of Lorik, who is the board member 42 00:03:26,320 --> 00:03:31,120 You have all gone through a molecular shrinking 43 00:03:31,120 --> 00:03:36,720 Your bodies feel fine, parsum, minor, shrinking sickness 44 00:03:36,720 --> 00:03:46,000 But you all stand in the middle of this now vast field 45 00:03:46,880 --> 00:03:54,240 There's a little sunburnt rat with the four of you who is looking around frantically 46 00:03:55,920 --> 00:03:58,160 Okay, did we just get fucking shrunk? 47 00:03:58,160 --> 00:04:02,560 Oh my god, I think that we're shrunk 48 00:04:02,560 --> 00:04:07,120 Can I, without saying anything, hop on my now mini skateboard? 49 00:04:07,120 --> 00:04:10,080 It's like the ones that you... what are those called? 50 00:04:10,080 --> 00:04:11,040 Where you just use your fingers? 51 00:04:11,040 --> 00:04:11,840 Yeah, the tech decks? 52 00:04:11,840 --> 00:04:13,840 Yeah, it's basically a tech deck now 53 00:04:13,840 --> 00:04:18,720 I hop on my tech deck and I'd like to fly up to see if I can... 54 00:04:18,720 --> 00:04:21,520 To see if I can scout and see where the laser came from 55 00:04:21,520 --> 00:04:28,080 You hop on your tech deck and fly up above the grass 56 00:04:28,080 --> 00:04:33,520 Looking out over this large vista 57 00:04:33,520 --> 00:04:39,280 You see in front of you this large... 58 00:04:40,400 --> 00:04:51,440 What once was like a itty bitty tiny little like testing ground 59 00:04:51,440 --> 00:05:01,040 Has now completely changed and is this huge cavernous field 60 00:05:01,040 --> 00:05:09,040 You see three main ways to the testing facility in front of you 61 00:05:09,040 --> 00:05:18,160 The testing facility is where the shrink ray is housed behind a large glass protector 62 00:05:18,160 --> 00:05:25,600 There is also a small hole which has been shot through as when everyone was being shrunk 63 00:05:25,600 --> 00:05:28,160 Azam swung out and fired 64 00:05:28,800 --> 00:05:34,000 To the left of you all is an anthill 65 00:05:34,880 --> 00:05:41,600 Hundreds of little ants scurrying around are going inside of the holes of the anthill 66 00:05:41,600 --> 00:05:45,120 Carrying different food sources and you know the things that ants do 67 00:05:45,120 --> 00:05:56,720 Ahead of you in front is a slew of branded wild times merchandise and food and cups 68 00:05:56,720 --> 00:06:02,960 Which I had originally as the garbage sword that they had 69 00:06:02,960 --> 00:06:08,240 However upon shrinking the garbage sword collapsed and this is the remnants 70 00:06:08,240 --> 00:06:19,760 There is occasionally this like shift in the cups as something seems to be moving through the grass 71 00:06:19,760 --> 00:06:30,240 And passing the cups and to the right is a large pipe rusted corroding slightly 72 00:06:30,240 --> 00:06:38,880 There is a large corroded gap in the pipeline pretty close to where you all are 73 00:06:38,880 --> 00:06:44,000 And then another one almost to where the testing facility is 74 00:06:44,000 --> 00:06:53,040 This seems to be like a disused like kind of like just experimental wastage 75 00:06:53,040 --> 00:07:01,840 You see in the darkness of another small gap too small for even you at this size to fit in 76 00:07:01,840 --> 00:07:12,240 But you see a light kind of move inside and you hear just tiny amounts of shuffling 77 00:07:12,240 --> 00:07:15,600 Shuffling and scratching inside of this little little sewer 78 00:07:15,600 --> 00:07:17,840 Behind you is the body of Lorik 79 00:07:17,840 --> 00:07:25,760 This like purple smoke that is billowing from their head as they lie behind you 80 00:07:27,760 --> 00:07:34,640 Ah geez okay I'm gonna fly back down and kick up my board and say 81 00:07:35,520 --> 00:07:46,400 So we're dealing with a lot here but first of all Dr. Therriak were you uh close with the hole? 82 00:07:46,400 --> 00:07:49,440 I will have time to grieve later 83 00:07:51,680 --> 00:07:56,080 We should make some definitive actions soon I feel 84 00:07:56,080 --> 00:08:01,840 I agree okay well let me tell you all the stuff that I just saw up there 85 00:08:09,040 --> 00:08:10,240 Crazy right? 86 00:08:10,240 --> 00:08:15,200 Does Therriak know about the specific ants here? 87 00:08:15,200 --> 00:08:20,400 Like are there have there been reports of these ants in the park? 88 00:08:21,840 --> 00:08:30,320 So to call them ants as we know them on earth IRL would be a bit of a it would necessarily be true 89 00:08:31,040 --> 00:08:38,400 The the expansion of the names of species kind of grew as space exploration was 90 00:08:38,960 --> 00:08:43,840 was becoming more prevalent crustaceans for example now encompass a whole bunch more 91 00:08:43,840 --> 00:08:49,920 that it used to so the definition kind of shifted and changed and the same is true for 92 00:08:51,360 --> 00:08:53,760 Mykinids? What the fuck is an ant? 93 00:08:53,760 --> 00:08:55,920 Uh an ant is a hymenopteran 94 00:08:56,560 --> 00:09:01,440 Hymenopteran sure that also includes sawflies wasps bees and ants 95 00:09:03,280 --> 00:09:10,640 So the same is true for hymenopterns which also encompass these things 96 00:09:10,640 --> 00:09:19,680 These they still work on a queen-based system where they all follow like what like a queen 97 00:09:21,520 --> 00:09:25,920 but they're far more of a mindless 98 00:09:29,680 --> 00:09:39,840 a mindless creature the queen after giving birth imprints so heavily onto the other ants 99 00:09:39,840 --> 00:09:51,360 that they that technically every single ant in this colony is one creature it is just the queen 100 00:09:52,560 --> 00:09:58,480 as the queen imprints on them and infects their minds and they work so heavily as a hive mind that 101 00:09:58,480 --> 00:10:05,360 they aren't actually multiple hundreds of ants they are instead just one 102 00:10:05,360 --> 00:10:19,200 All right so for the purposes of brevity perhaps we should not interact with these hymenopterans 103 00:10:20,160 --> 00:10:20,640 they could be 104 00:10:23,040 --> 00:10:24,160 Hybenotowhat? 105 00:10:25,280 --> 00:10:27,600 I believe you're referring to the insects 106 00:10:27,600 --> 00:10:28,240 Yes 107 00:10:28,240 --> 00:10:28,960 The ants? 108 00:10:28,960 --> 00:10:30,720 Yes the the ants 109 00:10:30,720 --> 00:10:32,960 Hy-hyberplopidous 110 00:10:32,960 --> 00:10:38,320 Ants is perfectly all right I'm I'm sorry I resort to science when I'm stressed 111 00:10:38,320 --> 00:10:42,560 Ah Theriac we need to talk because you always are resorting to science 112 00:10:42,560 --> 00:10:46,640 so I feel like we need to discuss your uh relationship with stress I feel like 113 00:10:46,640 --> 00:10:47,920 Maybe later 114 00:10:47,920 --> 00:10:48,880 Right now it's fine 115 00:10:48,880 --> 00:10:53,520 I feel like there's more pressing issues than the terminology that the doctor's using 116 00:10:54,080 --> 00:10:57,280 right now because we're very small and very lost 117 00:10:57,280 --> 00:11:07,840 Yes so uh the the pipe uh you said there was like a light inside of the pipe is that correct? 118 00:11:07,840 --> 00:11:14,160 Yeah and like some kind of scurrying yeah I'm still processing a lot of what just went down 119 00:11:14,160 --> 00:11:21,200 Okay well well well well first of all the solution to our problem is very simple and that is to go 120 00:11:21,200 --> 00:11:29,920 back to the machine and to simply uh reverse engage the machine and then target ourselves 121 00:11:29,920 --> 00:11:31,600 so that we grow again 122 00:11:31,600 --> 00:11:31,920 Okay 123 00:11:32,560 --> 00:11:32,960 Correct 124 00:11:33,520 --> 00:11:39,120 It seems like to me there's a couple options we can try and take the corroded pipe over there 125 00:11:39,120 --> 00:11:43,360 to wherever the machine is we could try and investigate poor lorik 126 00:11:44,000 --> 00:11:48,080 or we could try going underground follow the ants 127 00:11:48,080 --> 00:11:57,200 Okay I understand that you're processing a lot I find it real weird that they shot this guy 128 00:11:58,160 --> 00:12:01,200 and shrunk us is that not weird to anyone else? 129 00:12:01,200 --> 00:12:02,960 It's exceptionally weird 130 00:12:02,960 --> 00:12:03,760 Yeah it's very strange 131 00:12:03,760 --> 00:12:04,560 I think 132 00:12:04,560 --> 00:12:10,560 Well to be fair if I may I don't think all of us were targets of this thing 133 00:12:11,280 --> 00:12:16,400 because I don't think all of us are very important here and I take a meaningful look at Theriac 134 00:12:16,400 --> 00:12:23,840 I think this is maybe a conversation for later could we 135 00:12:23,840 --> 00:12:25,360 We're not in any rush to be honest 136 00:12:25,360 --> 00:12:27,200 I feel like we're very much in a rush 137 00:12:27,200 --> 00:12:30,320 I also feel like I would like to be my normal size 138 00:12:32,400 --> 00:12:35,760 Well I think I think you're all panicking a little bit 139 00:12:35,760 --> 00:12:39,840 Of course I'm panicking I'm tiny I was already tiny 140 00:12:39,840 --> 00:12:44,640 We all need to take a deep breath and calm down because nothing good ever came from panicking 141 00:12:44,640 --> 00:12:45,140 Okay 142 00:12:46,640 --> 00:12:53,920 Take a breath wonderful so let's split up what does everyone want to do? 143 00:12:57,120 --> 00:12:57,620 Sky? 144 00:12:59,920 --> 00:13:06,640 I just wanted to say maybe we should have this discussion because scrap is right we got shrunk 145 00:13:06,640 --> 00:13:14,320 Scrap is right we got shrunk and maybe somebody was just super sadistic and would rather us get 146 00:13:14,320 --> 00:13:17,200 eaten by ants than go out quietly you know? 147 00:13:18,320 --> 00:13:18,800 Okay 148 00:13:18,800 --> 00:13:21,040 But we might want to consider that by the time we get to the other room 149 00:13:21,040 --> 00:13:23,360 because they're probably still there maybe 150 00:13:23,360 --> 00:13:24,480 Right yeah 151 00:13:25,440 --> 00:13:28,880 Well if I got lucky they could be dead 152 00:13:30,240 --> 00:13:31,120 Hopefully 153 00:13:31,120 --> 00:13:35,360 That's true that was a pretty ace shot I wasn't expecting that to happen 154 00:13:35,360 --> 00:13:48,960 All right what I suspect is happening is that we were pulled in by Lorak to have a conversation 155 00:13:49,520 --> 00:13:57,280 Clearly this conversation was not in fact private that we were being or that Lorak was 156 00:13:57,280 --> 00:14:06,880 in some way being monitored and the fact that Lorak is now deceased and that we are still alive 157 00:14:06,880 --> 00:14:17,280 but not present quote unquote to most people suggests to me that we have been set up to take a fall 158 00:14:18,400 --> 00:14:19,920 Me specifically 159 00:14:21,840 --> 00:14:22,400 All right 160 00:14:22,400 --> 00:14:33,040 All right so we just need to be extra careful because if that person or people are still 161 00:14:33,760 --> 00:14:40,800 alive then they still want to cause you harm so we just 162 00:14:42,000 --> 00:14:46,880 They won't just settle for shrinking us if we actually act back or if we somehow 163 00:14:46,880 --> 00:14:52,640 don't get eaten by ants or if we somehow don't you know drown in a used coffee cup 164 00:14:55,680 --> 00:14:59,840 Maybe they did do intend to kill us but they just have something 165 00:15:01,360 --> 00:15:05,760 They're not just not good at multiple firing maybe it was a one action 166 00:15:05,760 --> 00:15:09,280 gun or something shot we just don't want a bunch of bodies 167 00:15:09,280 --> 00:15:11,040 We just don't want a bunch of bodies yeah 168 00:15:11,040 --> 00:15:19,200 Okay if I want to be real dumb today I could do a little scout mission 169 00:15:19,200 --> 00:15:25,360 just peek in there see what's going on report back I don't know if you should go there by yourself 170 00:15:26,160 --> 00:15:30,320 That's well what I don't know what they're expecting 171 00:15:30,960 --> 00:15:34,400 Maybe they're not expecting a tiny teenager to go through the bullet hole and you're right maybe 172 00:15:34,400 --> 00:15:40,800 they're dead I'd be careful I could just like you know a little peek I would yes I could go alongside 173 00:15:40,800 --> 00:15:49,440 you I'm probably the least uh heavy of everyone else here I guess yeah I'm pretty sure I just 174 00:15:49,440 --> 00:15:57,040 break your board okay but just what if you get there and then they're not dead and they're armed 175 00:15:57,040 --> 00:16:04,880 and they want to kill Dr. Therriak I well then well then they must be the worst murder in the 176 00:16:04,880 --> 00:16:12,240 universe because they made us as size of a needle in a haystack we're so small but we'll likely not 177 00:16:12,880 --> 00:16:19,440 we'll escape suspicion as long as we're careful why don't we set up a word that would signify 178 00:16:19,440 --> 00:16:26,320 that something has gone awry salad time salad time salad time 179 00:16:29,200 --> 00:16:36,320 okay that would mean you'd need to keep your phone on because 17 my phone's always on you turn your 180 00:16:36,320 --> 00:16:42,720 phone off oh wait I've been looking forward to this for a very long time turns the phone around 181 00:16:42,720 --> 00:16:50,080 points at the like they're like what should we name the group chat have we got a group name 182 00:16:51,280 --> 00:16:56,320 scrap we got a lot we're dealing with right now I don't know if it's acceptable just put in patchwork 183 00:16:56,320 --> 00:17:05,200 crew we can brainstorm later okay the patchwork okay great patchwork crew so I'm gonna be honest 184 00:17:05,200 --> 00:17:10,800 I'm gonna put all my cards on the table Therriak's guy if you're gonna go see that that bullet hole I 185 00:17:10,800 --> 00:17:15,440 don't a I don't really want to be on the ground I just feel like something could jump at us 186 00:17:15,440 --> 00:17:21,200 B I want to know what the I want to know what the fuck that smoke is because that's not a normal 187 00:17:21,200 --> 00:17:27,680 smoke color yeah I was thinking the same thing it's fine by me I what do you want to do I 188 00:17:28,800 --> 00:17:38,480 would rather that we stick together but if we're going to um split up then I'll um I'll go with 189 00:17:38,480 --> 00:17:48,240 scrap I guess okay we're all good yeah I'm hoping to not take too long like we're not gonna 190 00:17:49,120 --> 00:17:53,600 charge in lasers blazing right away I just want to see what's going on in there and then we'll 191 00:17:53,600 --> 00:18:02,320 meet you guys back at the smoke all right yeah um sure thing you scout we're gonna check it out 192 00:18:02,320 --> 00:18:08,880 Therriak I'm sorry but I guess our meeting point is the head of your now dead board member friend 193 00:18:08,880 --> 00:18:14,560 okay that's I like this the smoke is perfectly acceptable we don't have to go into details 194 00:18:15,440 --> 00:18:21,360 hands in hands in hands in this is a weird moment tiny adventures on three 195 00:18:23,520 --> 00:18:30,320 one two three tiny adventures hop on Therriak 196 00:18:30,320 --> 00:18:32,160 I'm all right 197 00:18:34,960 --> 00:18:36,560 two little twig legs hang on 198 00:18:39,920 --> 00:18:51,040 you hear a tiny car as uh the uh as skateboard shoots off past the grass you get to the you you 199 00:18:51,040 --> 00:18:58,240 get there at the start of the climb as you all arrive scrap uh puts their hand to uh to their 200 00:18:58,240 --> 00:19:06,640 side and pulls out a tiny little clockwork or kind of tosses it up in the air and these four 201 00:19:09,760 --> 00:19:18,400 things pop out of it and then tiny little propellers fly fly next to them okay uh 202 00:19:18,400 --> 00:19:28,800 uh who wants a boost who wants a lift oh um yeah I I uh boost would be a good idea 203 00:19:29,600 --> 00:19:37,840 okey dokes scrap settles their uh their arms into a into into a little boost formation and this 204 00:19:37,840 --> 00:19:46,640 small tiny robot lowers a like uh a hook uh grab onto the hook and then this with the help of 205 00:19:46,640 --> 00:19:50,640 like scrap boosting you and this little thing picking you up and placing you on top of the ledge 206 00:19:54,560 --> 00:19:59,440 you get onto this this first little ledge pretty easy scrap then turns to you as um 207 00:20:00,400 --> 00:20:06,480 I could try to give you a boost uh I'm already climbing up on my own I like that thing is too 208 00:20:06,480 --> 00:20:17,680 small as you all get past the first ridge um and sky and theriac you can see uh are so small and 209 00:20:17,680 --> 00:20:25,760 and flying away you see them off in the distance uh scrap turns area uh weird time to bring this up 210 00:20:25,760 --> 00:20:35,360 but high stress situations and all that um I never thanked the pair of you for helping sky out in uh 211 00:20:35,360 --> 00:20:41,440 in that place she doesn't talk about a lot of shit um but I've gotten a kind of good sense on 212 00:20:41,440 --> 00:20:45,840 reading her I know that something went down and I can only imagine the pair of you helped 213 00:20:47,520 --> 00:20:57,520 to be quite honest it seems like both of you don't talk much well yeah but uh I ain't got much to 214 00:20:57,520 --> 00:21:10,960 talk about so well um I don't think it was very fair um what happened to her not just 215 00:21:12,720 --> 00:21:19,600 everything that happened to her but we were we were privy to that information without 216 00:21:19,600 --> 00:21:35,200 you know her deciding she wanted to tell us and she actually um well I knew most of it not all of 217 00:21:35,200 --> 00:21:52,240 it important bits I just I think that she deserves much better um so she's a kid she was a child she's 218 00:21:52,240 --> 00:22:01,760 still honestly a child not I'm judging but I mean that's a hard life for someone that young 219 00:22:01,760 --> 00:22:13,280 yeah um and you know that's what they do get them young it's easier to get them on your side then 220 00:22:13,280 --> 00:22:27,360 anyway and how young were you uh I was a lot older than most um I wasn't taking it as a 221 00:22:27,360 --> 00:22:38,240 kid I you know I didn't have a whole lot of options so I went in it was far more adult than 222 00:22:38,240 --> 00:22:45,920 a lot of others yeah it's always type right they come with you they offer you a way out 223 00:22:45,920 --> 00:22:57,360 or a better life and by the end of it you realize you just trapped yourself in something else right 224 00:22:57,360 --> 00:23:16,320 um should we look around yeah all right oh yeah all right um 225 00:23:16,320 --> 00:23:27,440 uh um let's grab this a little like um after the conversation breaks um you are able to 226 00:23:28,240 --> 00:23:33,600 you were having this conversation as you were climbing up uh lorick and you get to 227 00:23:33,600 --> 00:23:44,480 the summit I guess large plumes of this uh purple smoke pour from the giant's temple 228 00:23:46,560 --> 00:23:51,040 all right who's first oh I don't know I don't know why I said who's first I don't know the 229 00:23:51,040 --> 00:24:01,600 fuck we're doing uh what's the plan well can I um we're nearby where the bullet 230 00:24:01,600 --> 00:24:10,720 went in yeah yeah yeah well you you are on the head of lorick now um 231 00:24:12,640 --> 00:24:13,120 should we 232 00:24:16,800 --> 00:24:20,480 try to see where the smoke is coming from 233 00:24:23,200 --> 00:24:25,200 yeah all right 234 00:24:25,200 --> 00:24:32,320 yeah all right uh as I'm you good for that plan 235 00:24:35,840 --> 00:24:40,960 I want to know how how lorick died you know you can learn a lot from a bullet wound 236 00:24:41,920 --> 00:24:48,480 depending upon the size fracture patterns I guess I want to know if lorick here was 237 00:24:48,480 --> 00:24:56,160 shot close by by someone we trusted or from far away by someone they didn't 238 00:24:57,280 --> 00:25:04,400 all right let's go investigate as you walk toward the smoke our camera is going to pull back 239 00:25:04,400 --> 00:25:18,400 and move across only about five foot in in big size however speeding across this uh this 240 00:25:18,400 --> 00:25:25,200 expanse is sky andetherian both of you can you give me perception checks please right now as you 241 00:25:25,200 --> 00:25:33,840 speed towards this bullet hole that's a six well I believe that means I rolled a one as well I got 242 00:25:33,840 --> 00:25:44,720 a six oh my god a double one a leaf flies in our face I'm gonna pray for you the the wind is just 243 00:25:44,720 --> 00:25:50,240 like buffeting you so much and there is a lot of like new things to like look out for that you don't 244 00:25:50,240 --> 00:25:56,960 quite um you don't quite focus on anything you are purely focused on this bullet hole 245 00:25:58,400 --> 00:26:08,320 across the this little experimental zone until you get to just outside the um actual like operating 246 00:26:08,320 --> 00:26:16,640 chamber this uh bullet hole which can fit both of you quite easily um sky I imagine you come to a 247 00:26:16,640 --> 00:26:22,480 stop to just outside it um yeah I'd like to like if this was the hole I'd like to go like right 248 00:26:22,480 --> 00:26:27,840 beside it so that we can like be up against the wall ready to peek in oh absolutely um this would 249 00:26:27,840 --> 00:26:41,440 be like very yucky good yes are you peeking in yes okay can both of you roll me an additional 250 00:26:41,440 --> 00:26:50,800 perception check please cool that's better that's seven that's a 20 sky you're not able to see 251 00:26:50,800 --> 00:26:58,080 anything not through any fault of you uh not trying but uh the additional weight the weight 252 00:26:58,080 --> 00:27:02,720 disparity of you all being very small and also with the additional weight of theory act being on 253 00:27:02,720 --> 00:27:06,560 board just means that you're just keeping just a little more attention on making sure that your 254 00:27:06,560 --> 00:27:16,080 board is upright and is um uh you know it works at all times theory looking inside past the bullet 255 00:27:16,080 --> 00:27:23,440 hole from the angle that you're at you can't quite line it up yet however you can see pretty much all 256 00:27:23,440 --> 00:27:34,640 the room there is no body no blood splatter as someone getting hit there's not even any 257 00:27:34,640 --> 00:27:45,520 discarded blood on the floor there is a a there is a bullet at the other end of the room that um 258 00:27:45,520 --> 00:27:53,680 like a bullet hole one with a bullet still in it through a quite thick binder of experiment notes 259 00:27:53,680 --> 00:28:04,000 that sit uh amongst a shelf of experiment notes is a bullet lodged you do see the molecular 260 00:28:04,000 --> 00:28:10,240 molecular the molecular changer the shrink right as it's colloquially known as well as a large 261 00:28:10,240 --> 00:28:19,040 motherboard of different uh buttons and dials and things like that uh you also see propped up on the 262 00:28:19,040 --> 00:28:35,120 desk a still turned on slightly electrified cage with what once was just a simple slug that you got 263 00:28:35,120 --> 00:28:43,440 from the leviathan's eye and is now because you're so small fucking huge that is sitting 264 00:28:43,440 --> 00:28:51,440 just moving around the cage the cage is still on and again electrified little bars but is there 265 00:28:53,040 --> 00:28:56,720 sat at the desk where the motherboard and the shrink ray are 266 00:29:01,200 --> 00:29:07,840 well that's very strange that there's what do you see well 267 00:29:07,840 --> 00:29:18,160 well has on shot at someone is that correct well i don't know i heard a bang and then we were small 268 00:29:20,400 --> 00:29:34,000 well if if he did i see no traces of uh uh blood ephemera or uh trails or anything of 269 00:29:34,000 --> 00:29:43,760 the like it's just the room and uh uh the uh resizing machine and 270 00:29:46,160 --> 00:29:56,880 that's that specimen is so large now oh um you think you just missed i that is very possible 271 00:29:56,880 --> 00:30:06,720 um but that could be worrying i mean a lot of this is worrying do you want to 272 00:30:07,600 --> 00:30:15,760 maybe check it out a little more do you want to report our findings boss i we should probably 273 00:30:15,760 --> 00:30:25,520 tell them before we just just to let them know and then if they want more information we can go back 274 00:30:25,520 --> 00:30:34,640 back scoot my skateboard into the room just a little going slightly further on inside there 275 00:30:34,640 --> 00:30:44,240 if you also spot this as you're uh now like moving in and repositioning both of you do see that um 276 00:30:45,520 --> 00:30:52,560 there is one turret in the room really just in the corner high up 277 00:30:52,560 --> 00:31:00,240 it you don't know anything more than that there is a small red blinking light on it and it looks 278 00:31:00,240 --> 00:31:09,600 to be hanging at a lower angle like it is deactivated wait wait to clarify from from that 279 00:31:09,600 --> 00:31:16,640 it's a deactivated it it is deactivated how recently deactivated you are unsure 280 00:31:16,640 --> 00:31:22,000 i want to i want to go into that machine and find out what makes it tick 281 00:31:23,600 --> 00:31:32,880 that would be a good thing to do we should i feel like there was some sort of phrase about curiosity 282 00:31:32,880 --> 00:31:41,120 and cats i can't remember how it ends but it'd be beneficial to us to find out things to associate 283 00:31:41,120 --> 00:31:50,720 with one another i don't i think cancer this is not extremely relevant ah 284 00:31:53,680 --> 00:32:00,080 it's it's your call dude if you want to go back but i feel pretty confidently i might be able to 285 00:32:00,080 --> 00:32:07,360 figure out what the heck that is i would like to take out my phone and as i unlock it theory 286 00:32:07,360 --> 00:32:15,760 accuracy i have not changed the background it is still what's his face going um and i'd like to go 287 00:32:15,760 --> 00:32:27,760 to the group chat and i'd like to say i'd like to type out we are investigating a machine in here 288 00:32:28,640 --> 00:32:29,600 see you soon 289 00:32:29,600 --> 00:32:37,600 i hope to goodness this is shrinking machine otherwise it's uh i'm confused 290 00:32:40,080 --> 00:32:46,240 well now they're just i thought it was supposed to be a scouting like a quick they'll be all right 291 00:32:46,240 --> 00:32:52,960 in and out right and now they're investigating and look it's fury in sky baby how much trouble can 292 00:32:52,960 --> 00:33:00,960 they get themselves into a some i i saw i heard it i heard it as soon as i said it 293 00:33:06,080 --> 00:33:12,080 it's it's all right i like they'll be fine you know they're both very responsible 294 00:33:12,800 --> 00:33:14,880 when it comes to taking care of their own lives 295 00:33:14,880 --> 00:33:24,400 listen i know sky she's gotten out of way worse situations weirder not yet i mean how we're worse 296 00:33:24,400 --> 00:33:32,960 definitely i also heard that one i don't know the universe always has weird shit up their sleeve 297 00:33:32,960 --> 00:33:39,280 i'm sure something weird will happen to us at some point we're adventurers now or you know 298 00:33:39,280 --> 00:33:48,240 space fairies whatever the fuck anyway you're all stood around um a hole which this smoke is 299 00:33:48,240 --> 00:33:56,400 is bellowing out of it's like crystal is like shattered inward um and you can see faintly past 300 00:33:56,400 --> 00:34:08,080 all the smoke um there is some form of organic matter uh and you can see some like metal at the 301 00:34:08,080 --> 00:34:17,840 uh at the end at the impact point i would like to kind of kneel down on the surface near this this 302 00:34:17,840 --> 00:34:28,240 little wound and um kind of place my hands to it and sort of tap on it um 303 00:34:28,240 --> 00:34:39,360 um hi hello and um i want to cast a tech tech and see if there's anything that is technologically 304 00:34:40,080 --> 00:34:50,000 uh operating here there is this small pulse like that you feel coming from you like a 305 00:34:50,000 --> 00:34:58,400 boom and from this uh uh pulse it's like a uh it's a thread that you're used to feeling but 306 00:34:58,400 --> 00:35:03,520 it's entirely spherical and it stretches out and then every time it hits something technological 307 00:35:03,520 --> 00:35:13,120 there's a little like and then you feel a boom at the bottom oh at where this impact point is 308 00:35:13,120 --> 00:35:24,720 whatever whatever was shot you get a a reflection back of tech um scrap can you get me down in there 309 00:35:27,280 --> 00:35:35,840 down in the hole yes there's something there and i think it might be important um oh god uh i can 310 00:35:35,840 --> 00:35:42,720 then fucking maybe i can try i can i can get you down i can get you down on betsy that's fine 311 00:35:42,720 --> 00:35:48,320 gestures to the uh to the little bot um it's just not that reliable if you need to get brought back 312 00:35:48,320 --> 00:35:57,200 up again okay well we'll figure that out after but i i i i'm going in i'm going inside all right uh 313 00:35:58,640 --> 00:36:04,960 betsy this little robot uh flies up to you and then like lowers to your level are you just grabbing 314 00:36:04,960 --> 00:36:11,600 onto by the tail i think just for fun by the tail hell yeah mission impossible style 315 00:36:15,280 --> 00:36:21,520 this these these four little copters as they're as they're moving you down smoke is like billowing 316 00:36:21,520 --> 00:36:28,720 into your face but then is like wished away but uh by by these um four little four little motors 317 00:36:28,720 --> 00:36:40,400 and as you get to the impact point uh there is a it looks has the casing of a just normal bullet 318 00:36:41,200 --> 00:36:53,040 but there is a motherboard at the um just embedded in it that is blinking uh red 319 00:36:53,040 --> 00:37:00,400 red as you get closer and you can understand that this motherboard is the tech that you felt 320 00:37:00,400 --> 00:37:06,080 so this motherboard that is built into the bullet so the bullet was built for this it wasn't a thing 321 00:37:06,080 --> 00:37:15,760 that was added on after creation right well you're interesting um and okay 322 00:37:15,760 --> 00:37:31,360 okay if you would like you can give me a an engineering uh check for just understanding 323 00:37:31,360 --> 00:37:40,160 tech or what this is um i would like to forego that because i don't i don't think i understand 324 00:37:40,160 --> 00:37:47,520 how any of this works but i uh instead um can i try to talk to it 325 00:37:51,520 --> 00:37:57,440 god i forgot that you could do that i forgot that was the entire basis of your character yes of 326 00:37:57,440 --> 00:38:10,560 course you can i'm sorry to disturb you i don't i don't really know um if you can hear me but 327 00:38:10,560 --> 00:38:28,400 uh if you can i'm just well i'm a bit afraid um for myself and my friends right now and um you 328 00:38:30,560 --> 00:38:36,640 through no fault of your own you are part of that so if you could just help me to understand what's 329 00:38:36,640 --> 00:38:48,800 happening and maybe um if you're still a danger to us as you say this there's a few beats that you 330 00:38:48,800 --> 00:38:58,800 wait the blinking light kind of matches your heart rate as it blinks and then it blinks a little quicker 331 00:38:58,800 --> 00:39:11,600 and you hear from this thread uploading uploading uploading and then the light solidifies and then 332 00:39:12,640 --> 00:39:24,560 and then another led turns on transferring transferring transferring through this 333 00:39:24,560 --> 00:39:32,960 ability that you have you and this connection that you've just suddenly forged hearing this 334 00:39:33,920 --> 00:39:45,600 just simple motherboard in the back of your mind you hear amidst all of this transferring and uploading 335 00:39:45,600 --> 00:39:55,680 i am a consciousness chick oh knowledge of what that is escapes you i've never met one of you before 336 00:39:57,840 --> 00:40:05,120 i'm sure it is an honor it is genuinely i'm ike 337 00:40:05,120 --> 00:40:17,200 i am a consciousness can you stop the transferring 338 00:40:19,040 --> 00:40:26,400 i'm worried that that's not good if i stop 339 00:40:26,400 --> 00:40:34,000 this user will die okay so 340 00:40:34,880 --> 00:40:42,560 you're the consciousness of this person i was put here 341 00:40:44,320 --> 00:40:50,080 to make sure this user did not die are you 342 00:40:50,080 --> 00:40:59,920 to make sure this user did not die are you the consciousness chip you'll 343 00:41:01,120 --> 00:41:05,200 i assume be transferred along with everything else 344 00:41:07,360 --> 00:41:13,760 i am currently transferring uploading to a new network 345 00:41:13,760 --> 00:41:21,360 so well then that means that you just tried to kill my friend so um 346 00:41:24,000 --> 00:41:28,240 that's just not acceptable um and uh 347 00:41:34,480 --> 00:41:35,520 what are we doing huh 348 00:41:35,520 --> 00:41:48,160 i yeah i don't know um but um i i'm sorry but 349 00:41:50,720 --> 00:41:59,120 i'm gonna need this transfer to stop and i would like to um cast erase 350 00:41:59,120 --> 00:42:05,040 erase whoa is that a thing you can do an erase okay 351 00:42:07,120 --> 00:42:10,480 okay gamer hell yeah tell me what erased us 352 00:42:12,080 --> 00:42:21,440 tell me what erased us let's go i can remove you want to fucking wipe it i'm gonna remove um up to 353 00:42:21,440 --> 00:42:32,800 uh 1500 words of data files from a computer code so wait hold up you're going to this like 354 00:42:33,440 --> 00:42:39,360 practically sentient computer chip and you're just going to erase parts of its identity 355 00:42:41,360 --> 00:42:48,800 this is not just a computer chip this is the person who lured theoryac here 356 00:42:48,800 --> 00:42:57,760 under false pretenses and shot himself so that he wouldn't die that's out of character and just 357 00:42:57,760 --> 00:43:03,680 talking in ix voice because i'm very stressed out so um that means that this person that i'm 358 00:43:03,680 --> 00:43:10,320 talking to and making nice with and trying to have a good calm conversation with just tried to kill 359 00:43:10,320 --> 00:43:12,960 dr theoryac and all of us so 360 00:43:12,960 --> 00:43:21,840 yes i think can i i would like to um because i can't hear this conversation between i and 361 00:43:23,680 --> 00:43:30,320 no no azama's scrapper very much like looking at the edges of this whole because he's trying 362 00:43:30,320 --> 00:43:38,480 to determine how what killed this person and how close were they when the shot was made 363 00:43:38,480 --> 00:43:47,520 from someone who has shot a lot of people are not sure on the distance you are pretty sure 364 00:43:48,240 --> 00:43:54,960 that it whatever it was was inside of the operating facility like the testing chamber for this tiny 365 00:43:54,960 --> 00:44:03,440 shrink ray distance you're not sure on um but you are able to line up a like a secondary 366 00:44:03,440 --> 00:44:10,880 bullet hole that is probably the one that fired through the glass and then shot lorick 367 00:44:11,840 --> 00:44:17,680 was probably some form of turret or something is the has the drone dropped off iger is i still 368 00:44:17,680 --> 00:44:27,280 like mission impossible in it ike is currently uh is still is still like floating because 369 00:44:27,280 --> 00:44:37,200 i was to stand they would be an organic matter cutting back over to dylan you cast this erase 370 00:44:38,560 --> 00:44:46,320 and you feel a threat something that no one else as far as you're aware can see or feel 371 00:44:47,120 --> 00:44:50,400 or have any knowledge of you're watching this light 372 00:44:50,400 --> 00:45:00,480 blink this uh transfer light as it were and as you cast this there's a boof of energy and it feels 373 00:45:01,440 --> 00:45:11,840 like you've cancelled something halfway through downloading so some things have slipped through 374 00:45:11,840 --> 00:45:20,960 something halfway through downloading so some things have slipped through but as you're as 375 00:45:20,960 --> 00:45:32,960 you've cast this you hear warning transfer not complete this will end the user 376 00:45:35,680 --> 00:45:38,560 how big is the chip itself is it 377 00:45:38,560 --> 00:45:41,360 like grab it 378 00:45:43,920 --> 00:45:48,880 uh it's for you very big for you right now it's like a double hander 379 00:45:50,160 --> 00:45:54,560 and trying to like get it out of the thing would be pretty difficult okay 380 00:45:58,000 --> 00:46:01,520 so are you stop are you stopping the spell as this warning has popped up 381 00:46:01,520 --> 00:46:14,880 um no um you're gonna um okay as that warning pops up this will end the user the spell goes off 382 00:46:14,880 --> 00:46:22,880 and the chip and just there's like a small you can feel a thread just end ike you've been 383 00:46:22,880 --> 00:46:33,040 done for a lot you you're right no scrap pull her out um yeah you want to come up yes 384 00:46:35,280 --> 00:46:41,840 all right okay i'll put yet and there is a there is like a heavy weighted pulling the moment ike's 385 00:46:41,840 --> 00:46:52,080 in sight i like reach down and pull her up and out of the hole as well okay so this was shot by 386 00:46:52,080 --> 00:47:03,680 something where it wasn't shot by a person no this person did all of this what do you mean they 387 00:47:06,880 --> 00:47:13,920 they shot themselves they had a contingency plan that actually makes a lot of sense uh 388 00:47:14,960 --> 00:47:20,320 they shot themselves though they died i point in the direction of the shot 389 00:47:20,320 --> 00:47:26,800 but it came from too low you could automate something set it up so it shoots you at a direct time 390 00:47:28,960 --> 00:47:29,360 right 391 00:47:32,320 --> 00:47:40,640 oh well i mean it wasn't even i i don't even think it was a another person that shot it i i 392 00:47:42,720 --> 00:47:43,600 it was just 393 00:47:43,600 --> 00:47:54,080 uh i spoke to the consciousness chip um that whoa there was a consciousness chip in there 394 00:47:54,080 --> 00:48:06,160 inside the bullet holy shit did i do you know what that is those are fucking expensive 395 00:48:06,160 --> 00:48:11,920 it doesn't surprise me when you look at this place they are like they are like manufactured by very 396 00:48:11,920 --> 00:48:19,920 very specific companies so to a person who came from a fairly backwater planet nobody really 397 00:48:19,920 --> 00:48:25,040 cares about unless they're sucking energy out of it what what exactly does the consciousness ship do 398 00:48:25,840 --> 00:48:34,800 it's a spy thing normally um it's a spy thing it's a spy thing it's a spy thing it's a spy thing 399 00:48:34,800 --> 00:48:44,800 normally um it's a way to uh shoot someone has to hit them in the brain and then it will upload 400 00:48:45,440 --> 00:48:53,840 their consciousness thoughts some very minor memories and upload it into a server that you 401 00:48:53,840 --> 00:49:03,760 determined beforehand this is like people do it to um wait mine again spy network you get you you 402 00:49:03,760 --> 00:49:08,000 assassinate someone upload their consciousness to something else and then you can like scrub 403 00:49:08,000 --> 00:49:14,080 their information like it's a uh a computer file some people do you know upload themselves into 404 00:49:14,080 --> 00:49:18,800 robots but they normally go a little you know easier ways than that you could do logically though 405 00:49:20,320 --> 00:49:29,280 so either he killed himself and uploaded his own consciousness or someone wanted what was in his 406 00:49:29,280 --> 00:49:39,360 brain and decided to take it by shooting that hi what's up what did i completely misinterpret 407 00:49:39,360 --> 00:49:47,360 that whole thing oh no listen you may not have we don't even know yet 408 00:49:47,360 --> 00:49:56,640 that you just murdered my co-worker no 409 00:49:59,360 --> 00:50:05,520 um does okay does i look like i think distress i think if we go by what dylan's looking like 410 00:50:05,520 --> 00:50:18,480 right now yes uh-huh like you need to listen to you need to listen to me if you stop the transfer 411 00:50:18,480 --> 00:50:24,160 you stopped whoever shot him right whether it's himself or someone else from getting what they 412 00:50:24,160 --> 00:50:35,520 want there was two options out of this one this man was a mastermind or two this man was about 413 00:50:35,520 --> 00:50:43,600 to have his entire consciousness entrapped and manipulated right okay right whatever you did 414 00:50:43,600 --> 00:50:50,560 was the right thing nobody would want a life like that unless of course he is an evil mastermind 415 00:50:50,560 --> 00:50:56,720 which case okay good criffing riddles i just i thought 416 00:50:59,920 --> 00:51:05,920 you thought right i mean what else were you gonna assume oh well 417 00:51:11,760 --> 00:51:13,520 i don't know i never met 418 00:51:13,520 --> 00:51:22,880 something like that before um like these are fucking that is a dangerous chip 419 00:51:22,880 --> 00:51:31,120 as arm is completely right this this this this guy was either a genius and was going to do some 420 00:51:31,120 --> 00:51:38,400 very very nefarious shit after telling us the boards were doing something shady and then making 421 00:51:38,400 --> 00:51:50,000 us very small or someone was using that to do some very nefarious shit right okay 422 00:51:51,520 --> 00:52:01,040 we'll only know once we take a look at what shot him once we can like it's roughly a point in a 423 00:52:01,040 --> 00:52:09,280 i point in a direction but not well enough it's roughly over there once we get normal size i'll 424 00:52:09,280 --> 00:52:13,360 take a look at it and you can take a look at it we can figure out exactly where this shot came from 425 00:52:13,360 --> 00:52:23,520 and who did it okay and uh we don't need to tell feriac yes we do i do you want to i'm giving you 426 00:52:23,520 --> 00:52:35,680 an out here i appreciate that but yes we have to tell the renegade i lay a heavy hand on ike's back 427 00:52:35,680 --> 00:52:41,840 and just like rub it affectionately you're good okay yeah it's uh 428 00:52:41,840 --> 00:52:52,000 it's it's it's a it's it's a heavy feeling but at least in this one case 429 00:52:54,160 --> 00:52:59,600 i think i think you did good i think you yep scrub 430 00:53:02,240 --> 00:53:04,000 message viewers 431 00:53:04,000 --> 00:53:07,680 let him know that we're um 432 00:53:10,160 --> 00:53:14,640 just ask him if there's any way to get us out of this fucking situation before we all go mad all 433 00:53:14,640 --> 00:53:26,640 right and then as that message sends theory x guy you feel a boop on your on your phones you arrive 434 00:53:26,640 --> 00:53:38,960 to this turret you get the it is huge skyscraper to you now this large metal structure that falls 435 00:53:38,960 --> 00:53:43,920 off into the ceiling you are at the barrel of the gun you are still on the skateboard 436 00:53:45,600 --> 00:53:51,200 you are pretty far away enough that you can actually maneuver around the 437 00:53:51,200 --> 00:53:57,840 um you are pretty far away enough that you can actually maneuver around then hop off onto the 438 00:53:57,840 --> 00:54:04,480 turret if you'd if you'd like yeah can i just go up to like the side of it and hover on my skateboard 439 00:54:04,480 --> 00:54:12,560 while i do into it or absolutely you can okay theory act what's the message say 440 00:54:12,560 --> 00:54:21,760 okay where you're in the group chat theory act it's have you figured out what the fuck's going on 441 00:54:21,760 --> 00:54:29,120 yet question mark and then a little angry face like an angry little emoji working on it and then 442 00:54:30,240 --> 00:54:34,320 the two the the semicolon dots and then a question mark uh 443 00:54:34,320 --> 00:54:36,320 uh 444 00:54:41,440 --> 00:54:42,080 theory act 445 00:54:44,720 --> 00:54:55,200 everything okay question mark we have theories theory spelt wrong of what happened 446 00:54:55,200 --> 00:55:07,680 but needs to meet me 80 back up does he have auto correct off 447 00:55:10,080 --> 00:55:13,680 and come back to you say i never have auto correct on i don't know how the fuck to use this thing 448 00:55:14,880 --> 00:55:23,520 uh uh well i suppose something happened and they want to meet back up again so 449 00:55:23,520 --> 00:55:31,360 i suppose we should not take too terribly long i'm going as fast as i can doc i got my fingers to my 450 00:55:31,360 --> 00:55:36,560 temple and it just looks like i'm blinking a lot looking into this turret is a lot different to 451 00:55:36,560 --> 00:55:43,760 eyes i've seen these threads you are like very physical like you can um uh after putting your 452 00:55:43,760 --> 00:55:51,040 goggles on and feeling this like connect um you can you are you can kind of like see the 453 00:55:51,040 --> 00:55:59,600 system in front of you there's like little file logs and uh you see that it is deactivated 454 00:56:01,040 --> 00:56:06,560 but it's not deactivated because someone has deactivated it it's deactivated because it's out 455 00:56:06,560 --> 00:56:16,080 of ammunition you have recently fired and it was 15 minutes ago which is about the time you were 456 00:56:16,080 --> 00:56:22,480 15 minutes ago which is about the time you were shrunken what was the ammunition would i know that 457 00:56:24,880 --> 00:56:30,080 um it's it's just it's just a it's an official it's officialized name and you don't actually know 458 00:56:30,080 --> 00:56:40,240 what it is uh you can see that yes it was fired 15 minutes ago however it was accessed from raven's 459 00:56:40,240 --> 00:56:54,640 roost uh well at least we know it's not armed so we don't have to worry about us getting shot 460 00:56:55,520 --> 00:56:56,640 if we re-enter the room 461 00:57:01,440 --> 00:57:08,880 i guess we confirmed it came from raven's roost where all of the board members usually hang out 462 00:57:08,880 --> 00:57:16,400 but we can neither confirm nor deny that at this time all right can you at all like record that 463 00:57:16,400 --> 00:57:21,040 so that way if they try to wipe that information that we still have those records 464 00:57:23,200 --> 00:57:28,240 well i don't know let me try i don't think i have a printer in my brain 465 00:57:29,760 --> 00:57:35,840 you could upload the file like copy and paste the file to like your personal device 466 00:57:35,840 --> 00:57:43,280 device however there will be a trace of the fact that you did that with your serial code on it of 467 00:57:43,280 --> 00:57:54,320 your personal device you could scrub the record of that happening but if you fail the role if you 468 00:57:54,320 --> 00:57:58,960 if you fail in that hack then you're going to be alerting the security system that something has 469 00:57:58,960 --> 00:58:06,240 happened and i mean i say just add them to the list of people who are fucking after me you know 470 00:58:07,920 --> 00:58:13,840 let's go copy the file uh and then uh for the scrub give me another computer's check 471 00:58:15,680 --> 00:58:17,040 am i also scrubbing it 472 00:58:19,760 --> 00:58:22,640 should i do more than that boss theory act 473 00:58:22,640 --> 00:58:37,280 uh i don't i don't know i think we should just take whatever little scraps that we can 474 00:58:38,880 --> 00:58:48,880 and just build our case later maybe with legal uh i'm sorry that this is all happening to you 475 00:58:48,880 --> 00:58:53,040 you i appreciate that a lot uh 476 00:58:55,920 --> 00:59:06,560 anyway is there anything that i can do other than shutting up that can help you here 477 00:59:06,560 --> 00:59:23,280 uh well well we're here in the room why don't why doesn't why don't you okay stand why don't we just 478 00:59:23,280 --> 00:59:28,480 enlarge ourselves now and then we get the other ones later and then we increase our size then 479 00:59:28,480 --> 00:59:35,680 increase our size then you know i was thinking that but there's like an 480 00:59:35,680 --> 00:59:42,560 anthill and stuff in there and a pipe it just seems like a missed opportunity for an adventure 481 00:59:42,560 --> 00:59:49,520 you know a little adventure doubt today i can make you bigger yeah i would prefer to be larger 482 00:59:49,520 --> 00:59:57,760 right now if you are if you all want to go i mean the if if i were not in such a stressful 483 00:59:57,760 --> 01:00:04,880 situation i 100 would join you on that for scientific documentation and recording just 484 01:00:05,440 --> 01:00:13,360 the the the the ground level microbiome that exists on wild times even with all of the construction 485 01:00:13,360 --> 01:00:24,880 but i'm a little frazzled frankly so i would just like to be me sized and just try and figure out 486 01:00:24,880 --> 01:00:35,280 what happened i appreciate okay let's and and i'm very very happy that you are fostering your 487 01:00:36,160 --> 01:00:38,480 curiosity that's very important 488 01:00:40,880 --> 01:00:48,880 fostering i was pretty much born with it it's very easy to lose that so keep doing that all the time 489 01:00:48,880 --> 01:00:57,920 oh okay did you lose that is that what you're saying that sometimes it can be hard 490 01:00:59,600 --> 01:01:10,320 you get lost a little bit do in all the corporate uh what's what's the word that people say uh 491 01:01:10,320 --> 01:01:17,360 uh rat race don't tell scrap i said that seems a little loaded uh 492 01:01:21,680 --> 01:01:28,960 the legalese uh uh jargon grolex all that the hullabaloo um 493 01:01:31,120 --> 01:01:36,240 but yes i would just like to be me sized um you will probably need you'll probably need 494 01:01:36,240 --> 01:01:40,320 instructions for how to operate the machine because i'm guessing you've never worked with this 495 01:01:42,640 --> 01:01:44,800 i don't need instructions on how to operate the machine 496 01:01:48,160 --> 01:01:53,600 i am self-taught ike's not the only one that can talk to machines i just speak a different language 497 01:01:54,640 --> 01:01:56,640 ah 498 01:01:56,640 --> 01:02:08,080 um i guess arm and scrap who are uh all stood over the hole and looking at the well scrap in 499 01:02:08,080 --> 01:02:17,360 particular is looking out over the uh the vast and is looking into the uh chamber i'm sure they're 500 01:02:17,360 --> 01:02:25,600 fine but taking a very long time for a scouting mission it's just a little weird well did they 501 01:02:25,600 --> 01:02:38,480 return our message they did say that they were investigating something so could i text them uh 502 01:02:39,920 --> 01:02:51,600 uh uh going to turn large size just myself sky will rejoin you and uh inform you of what we found 503 01:02:51,600 --> 01:02:57,840 oh all right i mean that works wait so furia gets to be 504 01:03:00,080 --> 01:03:07,120 i'm going to say back to their normal size and the rest of us are stuck 505 01:03:08,160 --> 01:03:15,280 this guy probably needs to get us over there i mean i don't think i don't think that board can take 506 01:03:15,280 --> 01:03:25,360 his arm his arm are you much of a skater i you know a normal let's say what species is human 507 01:03:25,360 --> 01:03:31,040 a normal human my size i weigh about three times yeah so i don't think sky's going to be able to 508 01:03:31,040 --> 01:03:37,200 take us ferry us all over one by one but theory act getting back to regular size means they might 509 01:03:37,200 --> 01:03:44,000 be able to pick us up if they can figure out how it works oh right okay that's good 510 01:03:44,000 --> 01:03:50,080 that's good are you okay i know that it's that you've had a bit of a time in the last like half an 511 01:03:50,080 --> 01:03:58,800 hour i just you're getting that kind of distant stare i just you've never done this before have 512 01:03:58,800 --> 01:04:21,600 you no um no um scrap has i'm assuming you're not unfamiliar with this kind of thing no um and neither 513 01:04:21,600 --> 01:04:30,880 am i and uh no matter the reason whether you agree with it or not first time is always 514 01:04:34,240 --> 01:04:35,040 you don't forget it 515 01:04:35,040 --> 01:04:52,560 oh um in the void they you know use it as a as a mantle carries you forward it's remembering 516 01:04:52,560 --> 01:05:04,880 in theory that regret but also reminder that you can do it so in future you can do it again 517 01:05:06,960 --> 01:05:15,840 oh good i guess you'd be bullet hole oh brain that's worse i think it'd be the first person 518 01:05:15,840 --> 01:05:25,360 called that body but i i just we're not we're not in the void we're not in the void and i thought 519 01:05:26,320 --> 01:05:29,360 i thought that i was 520 01:05:35,280 --> 01:05:37,360 protecting 521 01:05:37,360 --> 01:05:49,600 you were i think you were and listen we don't even know we don't even know what the situation is 522 01:05:49,600 --> 01:05:58,080 all right it might not even have it might not even have happened you know right we don't know 523 01:05:58,080 --> 01:06:08,560 so we maybe some of them slipped through i mean who knows you look if there's one thing i've 524 01:06:08,560 --> 01:06:20,320 learned is that you can't undo the past so what happens after this is we analyze do you do the 525 01:06:20,320 --> 01:06:25,760 right thing or not and from there you determine if you're going to be able to do it again or if 526 01:06:25,760 --> 01:06:32,800 the next time you're faced with a similar situation you don't you learn that's what people do 527 01:06:33,440 --> 01:06:42,240 because the truth is you're not the first person to kill someone i didn't even think that that's 528 01:06:43,600 --> 01:06:48,960 what i was doing um yeah um 529 01:06:48,960 --> 01:06:56,560 um hey it's fine no need to worry about it now it's done is done 530 01:06:59,120 --> 01:07:01,120 and soon we're going to have our friendly 531 01:07:03,520 --> 01:07:13,040 large phiriac friend back and all will be right right and we'll investigate that whatever killed 532 01:07:13,040 --> 01:07:22,080 it whatever killed him and and we'll figure out more okay so do you want to go to the mass 533 01:07:22,080 --> 01:07:26,800 of burrito over there and just you know have a snack or yeah i would i would like to know what 534 01:07:26,800 --> 01:07:35,280 our plan is team team skateboard seemed to be uh regrowing theriac they said that sky was coming 535 01:07:35,280 --> 01:07:43,760 back to us do we want to wait here do we want to go and try to find some other way well we should 536 01:07:43,760 --> 01:07:51,760 wait for sky i i think well we can tell sky if we plan moving you said something about a light 537 01:07:52,800 --> 01:07:58,960 in the pipe over there was that uh sky said there was a yeah there was a light in the sewers 538 01:07:58,960 --> 01:08:06,720 i'm getting cold-brained something worth checking out maybe if we're leaving 539 01:08:07,920 --> 01:08:12,240 trying to go into the sewers we should tell the others so that's exactly what we're doing 540 01:08:12,240 --> 01:08:14,480 well obviously yeah yeah 541 01:08:16,080 --> 01:08:19,760 i mean we're not really going to get that give a chance to look at them again you know 542 01:08:20,560 --> 01:08:27,680 it's not like we're going to be let's be clear this is never happening again we're not trying 543 01:08:27,680 --> 01:08:37,520 we're not shrinking after this first and last terminal lives i hope so i know so we're all for 544 01:08:37,520 --> 01:08:43,360 a fit ike what do you what do you want to do do you want to stay here do you want to go into the 545 01:08:43,360 --> 01:08:49,120 sewers i'm i'm into the idea of just getting the fuck out getting getting out of here is 546 01:08:49,120 --> 01:09:00,160 just sure i i just i'll go wherever you're going that's fine okay uh scrap balls out the phone and 547 01:09:00,160 --> 01:09:08,000 says we are going toward the sewers and then sends it to the group chat sky theriac you get a message 548 01:09:10,240 --> 01:09:18,640 all right they give each other the thumbs up all right to the shrink ray uh you will need to be 549 01:09:18,640 --> 01:09:29,600 at the panel and i will be in it's in the uh uh in its radius of uh of of the beam 550 01:09:31,360 --> 01:09:37,520 roger that i also think maybe i should if possible make myself the normal size that'd be the 551 01:09:37,520 --> 01:09:42,880 responsible thing to do and would be less likely that our friends would wind up dead so 552 01:09:42,880 --> 01:09:49,040 you you first and then we'll figure that out okay i will be able to operate it once i'm large size 553 01:09:49,040 --> 01:10:02,320 so yes so the ray is facing out into the courtyard so if you were to be the target of it you there is 554 01:10:02,320 --> 01:10:10,400 a there is a there is a slither where you could be and uh stand but as it hits you and you grow 555 01:10:10,400 --> 01:10:16,480 you will push everything out because imagine it's like it's it's like an inch between the shrink ray 556 01:10:16,480 --> 01:10:25,040 and the the glass that separates this room from the outside you can however move the shrink ray 557 01:10:26,240 --> 01:10:32,800 to face an angle in different ways but it is a giant fucking is giant for you it's going to be 558 01:10:32,800 --> 01:10:38,800 extremely heavy if i'm imagining this correctly would it be possible to put theriac 559 01:10:38,800 --> 01:10:47,200 on my board and fly the board into right in front of the laser yes absolutely you can do that 560 01:10:47,920 --> 01:10:57,280 all right you take good care of my skateboard theory act uh all right this i'm serious and 561 01:10:57,280 --> 01:11:01,680 it's my pride and joy right there dude i have a name 562 01:11:01,680 --> 01:11:12,080 no i've been too scared to personify it valid uh do you think it's like pissed off that i haven't 563 01:11:12,080 --> 01:11:18,720 named it i don't i've never talked with the computer so i'm not really shared their level of 564 01:11:19,520 --> 01:11:27,360 emotional ability or their opinions on being identified as individuals so 565 01:11:27,360 --> 01:11:36,240 being identified as individuals so we're in uncharted territories all around i think um 566 01:11:38,880 --> 01:11:46,960 one uncharted territory at a time maybe uh okay vehicle uh climb on top of the hoverboard 567 01:11:47,920 --> 01:11:52,720 all right so you just do you need instructions 568 01:11:52,720 --> 01:12:06,080 uh no i i think i've got it uh i'm i'm hip uh let's see sky i will say that you can control 569 01:12:06,080 --> 01:12:12,160 this skateboard just with your mind without communicating um however if you'd like theory 570 01:12:12,160 --> 01:12:19,200 act to try and control it on their own you can also allow them to do that let's see how they do 571 01:12:19,200 --> 01:12:22,320 do if i lean forward it goes forward 572 01:12:25,200 --> 01:12:32,640 wow you're like on all fours like the you don't know the balance like the classic skateboard 573 01:12:32,640 --> 01:12:42,480 yes yeah first time skateboarding wow okay uh i'm going to wait how do i lift do i just 574 01:12:42,480 --> 01:12:52,720 just yeah you like left front goes up a little bit all right there we go you're doing awesome 575 01:12:52,720 --> 01:12:56,720 you are the equivalent of like 15 foot off the ground at this point as you're oh oh 576 01:12:58,800 --> 01:13:04,320 all right how how high up do i need to be uh you need to go in front of the shrink ray so you need 577 01:13:04,320 --> 01:13:13,040 to go behind this console and in front of this quite large barrel oh that's that's pretty tall 578 01:13:13,040 --> 01:13:22,480 uh you can do it okay here we go uh what's that what's that thing you say sometimes oh cowabunga 579 01:13:22,480 --> 01:13:34,000 oh well banga of course quite a bit uh flying around you like bump into the side of the the 580 01:13:34,000 --> 01:13:40,800 the console and uh you leave like you like scrape the board a little bit and uh but then you do you 581 01:13:40,800 --> 01:13:47,840 manage to like gather yourself and then and you were very shakily in front of the barrel of this 582 01:13:47,840 --> 01:14:00,720 shrink ray are you in position i i think so i'm gonna stand up should i stand up uh i don't if 583 01:14:00,720 --> 01:14:08,720 i don't that's up to you i think i might fall to my death i'm gonna just stay right here okay 584 01:14:09,440 --> 01:14:17,040 i'm i'm gonna try and make the thing happen now that sounds great there is a 585 01:14:18,320 --> 01:14:21,840 of the screen that grows in front of you which is perfectly normal 586 01:14:21,840 --> 01:14:29,840 however as you go to access files you see a 587 01:14:33,840 --> 01:14:43,840 kind of similar to a lion's face but slightly purple and translucent these tentacles slick 588 01:14:43,840 --> 01:14:55,840 they look and they're staring from this like white void that is behind them at you as you attempt to 589 01:14:55,840 --> 01:15:02,560 hack into the shrink ray well no i don't think you're supposed to be doing that 590 01:15:02,560 --> 01:15:15,440 and then you hear a as you look to your side where the slug was held in an electric cage 591 01:15:16,480 --> 01:15:28,160 the electricity leaves and this now humongous slug lurches forward 592 01:15:28,160 --> 01:15:41,680 just outside of the cage and starts slithering toward you can you roll initiative as 593 01:15:43,040 --> 01:15:51,280 we head on over to scrap ike and his home should i roll initiative you're welcome to yeah you wanna 594 01:15:51,280 --> 01:16:02,160 i can't go fast nothing i just yeah dr ferriac i can't go fast happily roaming to a sewer totally 595 01:16:02,160 --> 01:16:17,120 oblivious you are at the head of this sewer the smell is hitting you now it is this thick 596 01:16:17,120 --> 01:16:23,680 coppery smell smelling of corroded metal and disused liquid discharge 597 01:16:25,840 --> 01:16:38,880 you can hear sound bouncing inside of the pipe and a thick green like sludge is falling down from this 598 01:16:38,880 --> 01:16:46,800 break in the pipe well can someone with physical sciences please check that sludge because i can't 599 01:16:47,360 --> 01:16:49,920 i know i know what the fuck it is i can't do that 600 01:16:53,200 --> 01:17:02,240 i mean i can take a look um at it and see if it's safe at least 601 01:17:02,240 --> 01:17:12,720 normally this wouldn't be dangerous it is just random experimental uh like it's it's like it's 602 01:17:12,720 --> 01:17:17,760 like charge a lot of guns in this universe they all work off of like a plasma charge that you fire 603 01:17:17,760 --> 01:17:21,920 and then the discharge is just like thrown and normally it's completely fine doesn't matter 604 01:17:21,920 --> 01:17:28,000 this small it'll probably do something but it's not going to be a big deal because it's not going to 605 01:17:28,000 --> 01:17:36,320 find doesn't matter this small it'll probably do something however it might not affect you and 606 01:17:36,320 --> 01:17:44,160 scrap considering that you've both grown up in the lower decks of saga but asam might be a little 607 01:17:44,160 --> 01:17:49,440 more affected than the pair of you touching it directly is a bad idea for all three of you 608 01:17:49,440 --> 01:17:56,640 but being in the space like smelling the toxins and the gases when you're in that enclosed of a 609 01:17:56,640 --> 01:18:08,480 space as i might have to do a little bit of uh poison checking so all right look it's toxic for 610 01:18:08,480 --> 01:18:18,240 sure um we shouldn't touch any of the sludge but asam if we go down in there it's it's going to be 611 01:18:18,240 --> 01:18:31,600 like being in the lower decks of saga um but maybe like way more concentrated so um i don't know 612 01:18:33,120 --> 01:18:41,040 we'll i'll be fine just let's go come on okay just at the very least don't touch it 613 01:18:41,040 --> 01:18:43,440 would you suggest holding my breath out 614 01:18:43,440 --> 01:18:53,600 um it wouldn't hurt well eventually it would so i but um yeah i'll be fine just come on 615 01:18:56,560 --> 01:19:03,520 the three of you crawl inside of the sewer and you see the source of the scratching immediately 616 01:19:03,520 --> 01:19:09,840 as it stops and turns you also see what sky was talking about 617 01:19:09,840 --> 01:19:16,400 a light moves across the whole of this cabin it is a 618 01:19:18,320 --> 01:19:27,120 densely copper smelling large pipe this thick green liquid is flowing down the center of it 619 01:19:27,920 --> 01:19:32,400 pouring off through random breaks in the corroded metal 620 01:19:32,400 --> 01:19:40,960 as this spotlight moves over to you you see a large rat 621 01:19:42,000 --> 01:19:52,880 but the rat it's firm matted and slightly burnt the top part of its head is metallic coming down 622 01:19:52,880 --> 01:19:56,600 into this one point that looks like a camera which is a little bit more 623 01:19:56,600 --> 01:20:04,240 metallic coming down into this one point that looks like a camera which has been implanted 624 01:20:04,240 --> 01:20:08,720 into this rat's head gives you a little like 625 01:20:13,520 --> 01:20:14,720 as it looks at three of you 626 01:20:14,720 --> 01:20:30,800 oh you can feel the tug of a thread from the middle part of its head and this lens the spotlight 627 01:20:30,800 --> 01:20:37,840 hangs slightly angler fish like from the top part of its head seemingly lighting its way 628 01:20:37,840 --> 01:20:44,320 it spots you and hasn't yet reacted in any way 629 01:20:44,320 --> 01:20:50,720 I want to reach into my little pocket and take out a little square of cheese 630 01:20:53,680 --> 01:21:01,760 and I'll have a snack because I've had a really hard day and then I will hold the rest of it out 631 01:21:01,760 --> 01:21:15,040 you hold out the cheese as the three of you step further in Azzam the thickness of this air and the 632 01:21:15,040 --> 01:21:29,760 space and this toxic air is directly in opposition to your 633 01:21:29,760 --> 01:21:39,120 body you are going to gain the poisoned condition for now I you hold out this cheese and this rat 634 01:21:39,120 --> 01:21:51,920 stops and then as you hold your position it slowly walks up to you and then sniffs seeing your physique 635 01:21:51,920 --> 01:22:00,320 it seems to not be as hyper aggressive and then it's going to take the cheese from your hand 636 01:22:02,320 --> 01:22:09,200 I'll give it a little scratch can we can we follow you 637 01:22:09,200 --> 01:22:19,280 hmm okay I'm sorry I don't know how to speak with you but just kind of 638 01:22:22,320 --> 01:22:30,880 walk alongside it maybe it'll start moving again 639 01:22:30,880 --> 01:22:40,800 as you like pass it it like turns to you and scraps like a like to it but then also a little bit to you 640 01:22:40,800 --> 01:22:46,240 it's all right it's a pal 641 01:22:48,240 --> 01:22:52,000 I don't know if it's a pal or if that cheese just 642 01:22:53,680 --> 01:22:58,240 maybe it's a little bit too much for you 643 01:22:58,240 --> 01:23:08,080 it's made it not immediately try to rip us apart well I suppose 644 01:23:10,080 --> 01:23:12,480 well it's not ripping us apart right now 645 01:23:15,040 --> 01:23:22,320 maybe it was sent to uh like yeah you understand technology right 646 01:23:22,320 --> 01:23:28,080 oh in a sense what is that camera go 647 01:23:32,160 --> 01:23:44,000 as as you kind of reach your magical capacity into this rat um you 648 01:23:44,000 --> 01:23:54,160 don't feel much as it seems to be quite overwhelming as soon as you get inside this 649 01:23:54,160 --> 01:24:03,680 you can feel that there is this technology is kind of imprinted itself a little bit into like 650 01:24:03,680 --> 01:24:06,640 is like oppressing the brain of this creature 651 01:24:06,640 --> 01:24:18,080 however because of that you do hear a small help me and then 652 01:24:20,720 -->
