1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:02,520
Previously on the Atomless.

2
00:00:02,520 --> 00:00:03,980
Azan he?

3
00:00:03,980 --> 00:00:05,800
Ike! She!

4
00:00:05,800 --> 00:00:07,020
My name's Thiriyak.

5
00:00:07,020 --> 00:00:10,460
What's up? My name's Skye! Welcome to the patchwork, my dudes!

6
00:00:10,460 --> 00:00:13,860
Everyone, welcome to WildTams.

7
00:00:13,860 --> 00:00:18,380
You are trying to merchandise the organisms? The specimens?

8
00:00:18,380 --> 00:00:22,140
Sometimes foundations need to change for something to grow.

9
00:00:22,140 --> 00:00:26,540
Do you ever think that your foundations just... don't fit anymore?

10
00:00:26,540 --> 00:00:30,240
Kiskak, you see Lorak, who is one of the board members.

11
00:00:30,240 --> 00:00:33,640
Thank- thank god. Um, I didn't know if you'd be here in time.

12
00:00:33,640 --> 00:00:37,620
I don't know what is happening to the park, but things are weird.

13
00:00:37,620 --> 00:00:41,240
I don't think Kiskak went on holiday at all.

14
00:00:41,240 --> 00:00:46,880
And we're gonna make our way over to Mr. Wilde's presidency.

15
00:00:46,880 --> 00:00:50,520
Were they called Wilde before the park?

16
00:00:50,520 --> 00:00:53,960
Oh, for fuck's sake. Is it another board member?

17
00:00:53,960 --> 00:00:55,800
Thiriyak!

18
00:00:55,800 --> 00:00:58,300
I- I hope your holiday was good.

19
00:00:58,300 --> 00:01:00,640
Wilde, it's- it's good to see you again.

20
00:01:00,640 --> 00:01:05,840
They turned the screen around. There is a short email that leads to a picture.

21
00:01:05,840 --> 00:01:09,280
It's from an unknown email address.

22
00:01:09,280 --> 00:01:14,040
Has the words, Bounty Alive 500,000 credits.

23
00:01:14,040 --> 00:01:20,080
And below is a picture from Waymorth School for the Young and Gifted.

24
00:01:20,080 --> 00:01:21,960
And is a picture of Ike.

25
00:01:21,960 --> 00:01:26,660
Now I heard that you took an awful lot of money.

26
00:01:26,660 --> 00:01:30,660
Did you really think that that wouldn't come back you in the ass?

27
00:01:35,840 --> 00:01:42,200
The sky washes with colour as the sun makes its triumphant return.

28
00:01:42,200 --> 00:01:49,980
As the nocturnal animals make their beds, the diurnal beings wake for their shift on the planet Adun.

29
00:01:49,980 --> 00:01:55,520
And as they do, so do the people that rely on the park.

30
00:01:55,520 --> 00:02:04,520
Helo Lepore watches himself in the mirror, witnessing the soft shifts of his skin as he applies more wax to his hair.

31
00:02:04,520 --> 00:02:14,160
Anokhan's door moves him. He crosses his apartment, telling the park's AI to turn the cinema screen TV on.

32
00:02:14,160 --> 00:02:20,040
He opens his door and takes his freshly pressed suit from the cleaner.

33
00:02:20,040 --> 00:02:29,280
Sir Minsel wakes seeing an aquarium tank that acts as the back half of her head floating in a charged space.

34
00:02:29,280 --> 00:02:35,160
The fish playfully swim, unaware of their life as a fashion accessory.

35
00:02:35,160 --> 00:02:43,560
An already cooked breakfast and brewed coffee, the Kastasher type, since the human type never sat well with them,

36
00:02:43,560 --> 00:02:47,800
gets bought in by the mechanical butler.

37
00:02:47,800 --> 00:02:55,040
She takes the food from the robot chef and eats, watching the fish swim.

38
00:02:55,040 --> 00:03:03,560
The robot chef stares for a second too long before turning and moving back toward the charge port.

39
00:03:03,560 --> 00:03:12,240
Sir Minsel then walks up, takes the tank and attaches it to her head before starting her day.

40
00:03:12,240 --> 00:03:20,440
Feed doesn't wake, but a voice echoes through her room, stating the time.

41
00:03:20,440 --> 00:03:30,440
She looks up at the speaker as the voice booms throughout the room, then out the window at the park.

42
00:03:30,440 --> 00:03:41,040
If she had skin, bags would hang heavy from her eyes, but instead her face portrays the perfect expression, soft, unassuming and loved.

43
00:03:41,040 --> 00:03:47,320
She looks at her wrist, a small battery charge betrays her looks as it blinks red.

44
00:03:47,320 --> 00:03:54,160
She wipes away the warning and opens a string of messages from people who only see her face.

45
00:03:54,160 --> 00:03:57,120
Lin watches the sun rise from his bed.

46
00:03:57,120 --> 00:03:59,280
The red light groans in his eyes.

47
00:03:59,280 --> 00:04:02,560
Worry has not given him rest tonight.

48
00:04:02,560 --> 00:04:06,120
He sits up, books and papers fall to the floor.

49
00:04:06,120 --> 00:04:11,480
He stands, wiping the sleep out of his eyes, and looks over the scattered papers.

50
00:04:11,480 --> 00:04:24,640
Notes scribbled in intelligent passion, experiments, visions of a powerful future and deals that cannot be spoken of, plans for a legacy that will surely devour him.

51
00:04:24,640 --> 00:04:29,800
He gathers the papers and hides them away from prying eyes.

52
00:04:29,800 --> 00:04:38,520
The waves of an untapped ocean can be heard from a cracked window in Theory X's apartment.

53
00:04:38,520 --> 00:04:45,720
Mismatched people litter the floor and the sofas.

54
00:04:45,720 --> 00:04:57,320
The sun has called for morning and is attempting to awake these four possible friends.

55
00:04:57,320 --> 00:05:03,000
The gateway has opened and people are beginning to travel down to wild times.

56
00:05:03,000 --> 00:05:05,880
Who wakes first?

57
00:05:05,880 --> 00:05:13,120
Like clockwork, Azam wakes the same time every single morning.

58
00:05:13,120 --> 00:05:18,240
There's a small sound of tears as his horns extricate themselves from the couch.

59
00:05:18,240 --> 00:05:23,600
And there's loud cracks that echo all over his joints as the...

60
00:05:23,600 --> 00:05:32,640
Even while he slept, the crust slowly cooling him down from the outside rearranges itself so he can move properly.

61
00:05:32,640 --> 00:05:35,960
But he doesn't move much.

62
00:05:35,960 --> 00:05:46,880
He like resettles himself, opens his eyes, which are this morning are almost glowing, and stares at the ceiling wondering,

63
00:05:46,880 --> 00:05:50,920
What on earth do we do now?

64
00:05:50,920 --> 00:05:54,720
I don't think Theory Act went to bed.

65
00:05:54,720 --> 00:05:59,600
I think Theory Act's been up all night just at the computer.

66
00:05:59,600 --> 00:06:03,320
What are they doing on the computer?

67
00:06:03,320 --> 00:06:16,800
They have been mostly perusing through lots of documentation from the park, lots of spreadsheets concerning visitor attendance,

68
00:06:16,800 --> 00:06:25,560
any maybe some like mismatched financial accounts going through ledgers.

69
00:06:25,560 --> 00:06:33,720
Just trying to find something that's like a skew with the park beyond just vague suspicions.

70
00:06:33,720 --> 00:06:44,840
Theorek is essentially just looking for evidence at this point of some sort of any footprints left behind, any traces of misdeeds.

71
00:06:44,840 --> 00:06:50,360
Attendance is immaculate. It is so good.

72
00:06:50,360 --> 00:06:56,640
Whatever these board members are doing, they are definitely keeping really like...

73
00:06:56,640 --> 00:07:00,080
They have, you know, they're working overtime.

74
00:07:00,080 --> 00:07:07,440
They have made it so that people are attending and coming from all over constantly.

75
00:07:07,440 --> 00:07:19,840
This park, if this keeps up, this could be an actual mainstay for the galaxy for like countless, countless years.

76
00:07:19,840 --> 00:07:26,440
The last few hours, you've found yourself lost in a scroll,

77
00:07:26,440 --> 00:07:34,080
checking numbers that random attendance you end up like accidentally clicking at and looking on,

78
00:07:34,080 --> 00:07:41,800
and your mind just wanders to different things which don't seem to go anywhere.

79
00:07:41,800 --> 00:07:46,520
You are still up. You are still awake.

80
00:07:46,520 --> 00:07:57,120
You're broken slightly out of this scroll by the creaking of Azam's bones and skin.

81
00:07:57,120 --> 00:07:59,480
Good morning.

82
00:07:59,480 --> 00:08:03,760
Yeah, morning.

83
00:08:03,760 --> 00:08:07,080
How was...

84
00:08:07,080 --> 00:08:08,600
No, it's fine.

85
00:08:08,600 --> 00:08:12,680
I was going to ask a very inane question.

86
00:08:12,680 --> 00:08:14,600
Ask it.

87
00:08:14,600 --> 00:08:19,400
How was the couch?

88
00:08:19,400 --> 00:08:25,800
I miss home.

89
00:08:25,800 --> 00:08:28,080
Soft.

90
00:08:28,080 --> 00:08:35,000
It was soft.

91
00:08:35,000 --> 00:08:40,600
You didn't sleep.

92
00:08:40,600 --> 00:08:44,480
Am I that easy to see through?

93
00:08:44,480 --> 00:08:46,960
I'm not even looking at you right now.

94
00:08:46,960 --> 00:08:50,600
It's in your voice.

95
00:08:50,600 --> 00:08:52,520
There's something here.

96
00:08:52,520 --> 00:09:03,960
There is something here, otherwise there would not be the emergence of this behavior.

97
00:09:03,960 --> 00:09:06,560
You know, in my...

98
00:09:06,560 --> 00:09:08,280
There's a bird.

99
00:09:08,280 --> 00:09:11,120
It's a bird where I'm from.

100
00:09:11,120 --> 00:09:14,680
Large, blot out the sky if it flies.

101
00:09:14,680 --> 00:09:17,480
They live, theoretically, forever.

102
00:09:17,480 --> 00:09:20,360
A lot of our stories are like that, but...

103
00:09:20,360 --> 00:09:25,320
No, they die instead, because they keep on pushing themselves.

104
00:09:25,320 --> 00:09:31,520
See, the Rook don't sleep, Firiak.

105
00:09:31,520 --> 00:09:32,520
They don't rest.

106
00:09:32,520 --> 00:09:37,840
They keep going and going and going and going and going and going and going and going until

107
00:09:37,840 --> 00:09:47,720
eventually their body decides for them.

108
00:09:47,720 --> 00:09:53,520
You're not going to find anything out by pushing yourself beyond realms of...

109
00:09:53,520 --> 00:09:56,000
Raxolite physiology.

110
00:09:56,000 --> 00:10:02,080
That's something you know very well.

111
00:10:02,080 --> 00:10:03,080
What are you looking for?

112
00:10:03,080 --> 00:10:06,080
What did you find?

113
00:10:06,080 --> 00:10:07,080
You know what?

114
00:10:07,080 --> 00:10:08,080
Never mind.

115
00:10:08,080 --> 00:10:12,280
Clearly, I'm not finding anything.

116
00:10:12,280 --> 00:10:18,160
I only judge because I care.

117
00:10:18,160 --> 00:10:26,480
That sounds like you know the answer.

118
00:10:26,480 --> 00:10:29,480
Do you?

119
00:10:29,480 --> 00:10:39,680
Firiak, when you set out for wild times, is this anything close to what you imagined?

120
00:10:39,680 --> 00:10:46,360
It is incredibly close to what I imagined.

121
00:10:46,360 --> 00:10:47,360
Good parts.

122
00:10:47,360 --> 00:10:49,960
The ones you actually wanted.

123
00:10:49,960 --> 00:10:52,800
Do you see all of that around you, right here?

124
00:10:52,800 --> 00:10:58,920
Do you see the system set up for education and intention on preservation?

125
00:10:58,920 --> 00:11:04,240
Is that what you see?

126
00:11:04,240 --> 00:11:08,040
What I see...

127
00:11:08,040 --> 00:11:10,800
Right here...

128
00:11:10,800 --> 00:11:17,320
My friend sleeping inside of a domicile, directly adjacent to one of the most beautifully preserved

129
00:11:17,320 --> 00:11:23,680
coral reefs in the galaxy.

130
00:11:23,680 --> 00:11:33,640
That's not necessarily anything that you had just listed, but it is enough to give me hope.

131
00:11:33,640 --> 00:11:37,120
I do not deny that hope is important.

132
00:11:37,120 --> 00:11:39,640
I live off of hope.

133
00:11:39,640 --> 00:11:41,640
I really do.

134
00:11:41,640 --> 00:11:45,600
But hope isn't enough.

135
00:11:45,600 --> 00:11:52,720
Do you have more than hope, or just hope?

136
00:11:52,720 --> 00:11:56,720
I have lots of drive.

137
00:11:56,720 --> 00:12:00,800
No without sleep, you don't.

138
00:12:00,800 --> 00:12:07,240
I have lots of it in spite of sleep.

139
00:12:07,240 --> 00:12:11,480
You sound like me when I was younger.

140
00:12:11,480 --> 00:12:19,520
Is it a crime to be young?

141
00:12:19,520 --> 00:12:26,000
As my mum would always say to me when I ask similar questions, yes.

142
00:12:26,000 --> 00:12:32,320
Which is why you must admit that you're living on stolen time and use it effectively.

143
00:12:32,320 --> 00:12:33,320
Well what are my mums?

144
00:12:33,320 --> 00:12:37,800
If you have a mum would just say, why are you wasting my time?

145
00:12:37,800 --> 00:12:41,760
I'm tired.

146
00:12:41,760 --> 00:12:44,240
Two very different mums.

147
00:12:44,240 --> 00:12:48,480
Mmm, my dad was even worse.

148
00:12:48,480 --> 00:12:52,040
He just grunted from time to time.

149
00:12:52,040 --> 00:12:56,840
Until I started crying.

150
00:12:56,840 --> 00:13:04,760
And suddenly man had a million words in his mouth.

151
00:13:04,760 --> 00:13:08,120
That's the thing with my people in general.

152
00:13:08,120 --> 00:13:16,320
We're either too florid or too silent.

153
00:13:16,320 --> 00:13:17,800
Firiyek?

154
00:13:17,800 --> 00:13:20,200
Yes?

155
00:13:20,200 --> 00:13:24,840
You have hope, you have drive.

156
00:13:24,840 --> 00:13:28,680
Information will come.

157
00:13:28,680 --> 00:13:37,960
I feel as though waiting for this information to come.

158
00:13:37,960 --> 00:13:43,200
No one said anything about waiting for it, now did we?

159
00:13:43,200 --> 00:13:48,160
Look, Skye can wield all information practically out of anyone, you know why?

160
00:13:48,160 --> 00:13:52,600
Because she talks and makes people comfortable around her.

161
00:13:52,600 --> 00:13:58,080
Over there I could probably hack into any system that you can think of.

162
00:13:58,080 --> 00:14:02,480
And I just tend to frighten people.

163
00:14:02,480 --> 00:14:05,440
You aren't alone.

164
00:14:05,440 --> 00:14:08,160
The solution is to practically everything, you've just got to rely upon people around

165
00:14:08,160 --> 00:14:11,160
you rather than just...

166
00:14:11,160 --> 00:14:15,520
You're not a superhero Firiyek, you're a person.

167
00:14:15,520 --> 00:14:22,440
No but forgive me if the people who I have connected myself to are not the ones I immediately

168
00:14:22,440 --> 00:14:24,960
jump to for help.

169
00:14:24,960 --> 00:14:26,560
Considering the situation.

170
00:14:26,560 --> 00:14:29,320
I can forgive you just fine.

171
00:14:29,320 --> 00:14:37,560
Question is, will the world forgive you for ignoring what's right in front of you?

172
00:14:37,560 --> 00:14:49,360
Azam, I very much appreciate all of your words of wisdom but I am in a place where big questions

173
00:14:49,360 --> 00:14:52,720
like that on...

174
00:14:52,720 --> 00:14:55,360
Those are too grand for my scale I need to work at right now.

175
00:14:55,360 --> 00:15:00,920
I need smaller concise questions that I can give refined answers for.

176
00:15:00,920 --> 00:15:03,680
I understand, I understand.

177
00:15:03,680 --> 00:15:05,320
So here's what we're going to do.

178
00:15:05,320 --> 00:15:08,360
We're going to make a list of resources we currently have and we're going to find the

179
00:15:08,360 --> 00:15:12,200
best way to use those resources to find the information we need.

180
00:15:12,200 --> 00:15:14,560
Make a list of questions focused on one by one.

181
00:15:14,560 --> 00:15:18,040
Done that already or no?

182
00:15:18,040 --> 00:15:24,520
No, I haven't if you believe it.

183
00:15:24,520 --> 00:15:30,440
If you're one of those people that can't focus on a big picture right now, make a bunch of

184
00:15:30,440 --> 00:15:33,440
little ones.

185
00:15:33,440 --> 00:15:44,040
You know one thing about age, it just starts aching everywhere.

186
00:15:44,040 --> 00:15:48,680
And I start getting up from the couch.

187
00:15:48,680 --> 00:16:02,320
May I say that Ike was up and stayed in bed and was going to get up and then heard this

188
00:16:02,320 --> 00:16:04,320
and was like, well...

189
00:16:04,320 --> 00:16:17,960
But as it sort of tapers off, she'll crawl out of whatever sleep she was in and go find

190
00:16:17,960 --> 00:16:21,360
Dr. Therriak and just sort of...

191
00:16:21,360 --> 00:16:23,920
Hi, good morning.

192
00:16:23,920 --> 00:16:25,720
Morning.

193
00:16:25,720 --> 00:16:31,120
I heard that you didn't sleep.

194
00:16:31,120 --> 00:16:32,960
No I didn't.

195
00:16:32,960 --> 00:16:35,160
No I didn't.

196
00:16:35,160 --> 00:16:37,440
I'm so sorry.

197
00:16:37,440 --> 00:16:42,040
There's quite a lot on your plate right now.

198
00:16:42,040 --> 00:16:45,920
Why are you sorry?

199
00:16:45,920 --> 00:16:55,000
Just for your stress.

200
00:16:55,000 --> 00:16:58,380
I appreciate that.

201
00:16:58,380 --> 00:17:03,680
I wanted to say something.

202
00:17:03,680 --> 00:17:11,080
I was quite distressed last night when we spoke.

203
00:17:11,080 --> 00:17:23,280
Well you took quite a bit of that stress off my mind.

204
00:17:23,280 --> 00:17:32,440
I actually feel quite better so I wanted to say thank you and give you something if you

205
00:17:32,440 --> 00:17:35,440
don't mind.

206
00:17:35,440 --> 00:17:38,320
A gift?

207
00:17:38,320 --> 00:17:41,440
Just a little something.

208
00:17:41,440 --> 00:17:48,000
I don't see why not.

209
00:17:48,000 --> 00:17:56,520
It's...I don't know how to describe it but it's this.

210
00:17:56,520 --> 00:18:12,920
I remember when we were on the patchwork and we...I spoke to the crystal and tried to get

211
00:18:12,920 --> 00:18:20,320
more information and you know you had said you wished you could hear it.

212
00:18:20,320 --> 00:18:29,440
And I really wish you could hear it too organically but maybe this is next best thing.

213
00:18:29,440 --> 00:18:33,600
I just wanted you to know what it sounded like.

214
00:18:33,600 --> 00:18:47,760
And I'll put the container of message slime in their hands.

215
00:18:47,760 --> 00:18:49,720
Forgive me.

216
00:18:49,720 --> 00:18:51,320
How does this work?

217
00:18:51,320 --> 00:18:55,640
I haven't used this viscous communication before.

218
00:18:55,640 --> 00:19:03,240
Well you just sort of moved past it.

219
00:19:03,240 --> 00:19:10,040
It's triggered by motion so you open it up and move past it.

220
00:19:10,040 --> 00:19:18,360
It'll play and I mean it's not much but it just plays what I hear.

221
00:19:18,360 --> 00:19:29,000
As you move this silly putty in front of your face you feel a bit like a silly putty at

222
00:19:29,000 --> 00:19:30,000
first.

223
00:19:30,000 --> 00:19:31,000
Sorry.

224
00:19:31,000 --> 00:19:35,280
But then...I made myself laugh.

225
00:19:35,280 --> 00:19:49,120
But then after a little bit you hear this almost click in your mind like this soft...almost

226
00:19:49,120 --> 00:19:57,440
like a light switch is turned on in like just behind your ears in the back of your mind.

227
00:19:57,440 --> 00:20:05,560
I am pulling.

228
00:20:05,560 --> 00:20:12,240
I am pulling.

229
00:20:12,240 --> 00:20:22,160
Doctor I am pulling.

230
00:20:22,160 --> 00:20:29,800
And then it repeats I am pulling.

231
00:20:29,800 --> 00:20:37,400
Theiriak like has to like recalibrate for a second after hearing it.

232
00:20:37,400 --> 00:20:41,640
And this came from the crystal.

233
00:20:41,640 --> 00:20:48,600
That's what it repeats to me every time I talk to it.

234
00:20:48,600 --> 00:20:58,960
Hello this is the first time it's mentioned you so that's new.

235
00:20:58,960 --> 00:21:01,000
Pulling.

236
00:21:01,000 --> 00:21:06,800
That's what it says.

237
00:21:06,800 --> 00:21:08,800
Okay.

238
00:21:08,800 --> 00:21:10,800
Okay.

239
00:21:10,800 --> 00:21:13,240
Alright from the crystal.

240
00:21:13,240 --> 00:21:15,720
Pulling.

241
00:21:15,720 --> 00:21:27,520
We'll jot down something in their notes.

242
00:21:27,520 --> 00:21:32,960
Alright thank you.

243
00:21:32,960 --> 00:21:47,760
I will look into this later after our meeting but thank you.

244
00:21:47,760 --> 00:21:50,760
Thank you.

245
00:21:50,760 --> 00:21:52,440
Of course.

246
00:21:52,440 --> 00:21:56,840
Somehow Theiriak looks relieved and more stressed simultaneously.

247
00:21:56,840 --> 00:21:57,840
Sure.

248
00:21:57,840 --> 00:22:07,120
At this time, I, you receive a text message from Skye.

249
00:22:07,120 --> 00:22:09,120
I'm not feeling very well.

250
00:22:09,120 --> 00:22:11,360
Could you please bring me a glass of water?

251
00:22:11,360 --> 00:22:13,000
I am in the closet.

252
00:22:13,000 --> 00:22:17,760
Oh um oh please.

253
00:22:17,760 --> 00:22:24,680
And Skye will run grab the water and head to the closet.

254
00:22:24,680 --> 00:22:26,040
Skye?

255
00:22:26,040 --> 00:22:30,200
Come in and shut the door.

256
00:22:30,200 --> 00:22:31,200
Okay.

257
00:22:31,200 --> 00:22:34,320
Here's your water.

258
00:22:34,320 --> 00:22:36,320
Are you feeling worse?

259
00:22:36,320 --> 00:22:40,600
Oh I'll shut it.

260
00:22:40,600 --> 00:22:41,600
Alright cool.

261
00:22:41,600 --> 00:22:43,720
You can just put it anywhere or drink it.

262
00:22:43,720 --> 00:22:44,720
Whatever.

263
00:22:44,720 --> 00:22:45,720
I need you to do me a favor.

264
00:22:45,720 --> 00:22:46,720
Oh.

265
00:22:46,720 --> 00:22:51,400
So when I woke up in the hospital, I was out of it for god knows how long.

266
00:22:51,400 --> 00:22:59,920
We're in a theme park run by somebody who was or is in the void and I was seeing things

267
00:22:59,920 --> 00:23:00,920
when I woke up.

268
00:23:00,920 --> 00:23:01,920
Could just be nothing.

269
00:23:01,920 --> 00:23:03,480
Could just be dreary.

270
00:23:03,480 --> 00:23:11,920
But I need you to talk to the chip inside my brain.

271
00:23:11,920 --> 00:23:16,480
I just want to make sure that nobody's messed with it.

272
00:23:16,480 --> 00:23:17,480
Oh.

273
00:23:17,480 --> 00:23:19,560
Oh my goodness.

274
00:23:19,560 --> 00:23:20,560
Okay.

275
00:23:20,560 --> 00:23:22,640
I did not even think of that.

276
00:23:22,640 --> 00:23:23,640
Uh absolutely.

277
00:23:23,640 --> 00:23:24,640
Uh hold on.

278
00:23:24,640 --> 00:23:28,920
Do I have to sit a certain way or?

279
00:23:28,920 --> 00:23:31,200
No just um you know what?

280
00:23:31,200 --> 00:23:32,200
Where is it?

281
00:23:32,200 --> 00:23:33,200
Can you point to it?

282
00:23:33,200 --> 00:23:37,400
It's like just behind Skye's eye.

283
00:23:37,400 --> 00:23:44,880
With saying messed with it, you do know that Scrap quite early into your little adventure

284
00:23:44,880 --> 00:23:53,600
did fuck with it so that it is not currently trackable or usable until you put your goggles

285
00:23:53,600 --> 00:23:58,360
on and then it connects to another chip that's in your goggles and then that's how you control

286
00:23:58,360 --> 00:23:59,640
the skateboard and you...

287
00:23:59,640 --> 00:24:06,280
I was wondering if it was still trackable and if we were gonna have to worry about that.

288
00:24:06,280 --> 00:24:15,280
Like because Scrap has also, you would know, has done it to himself as well.

289
00:24:15,280 --> 00:24:16,280
Okay.

290
00:24:16,280 --> 00:24:19,720
Has also messed with the chip in his mind, his head to make sure it's trackable.

291
00:24:19,720 --> 00:24:23,840
That would just make me want to be double sure somebody hasn't turned tracking back

292
00:24:23,840 --> 00:24:24,840
on.

293
00:24:24,840 --> 00:24:26,800
I did get nervous.

294
00:24:26,800 --> 00:24:28,840
I don't know if you remember this but when you...

295
00:24:28,840 --> 00:24:29,840
You get nervous a lot.

296
00:24:29,840 --> 00:24:31,840
Was it like above average?

297
00:24:31,840 --> 00:24:39,600
It was above average nervousness when we were in the med bay and you were asleep.

298
00:24:39,600 --> 00:24:45,080
They obviously they took care of you which is I'm all well and good but I did realize

299
00:24:45,080 --> 00:24:57,240
that I didn't want them to have your information so I did scrub it from their system but if

300
00:24:57,240 --> 00:25:03,040
they scanned you or anything before Scrap and I got in there we should look at it.

301
00:25:03,040 --> 00:25:05,360
So I'm...

302
00:25:05,360 --> 00:25:10,160
Let me just focus for a minute.

303
00:25:10,160 --> 00:25:12,080
This is gonna be weird.

304
00:25:12,080 --> 00:25:16,680
Usually I'm talking to a computer but I'm just gonna talk to your head for a minute.

305
00:25:16,680 --> 00:25:20,200
Well it's a computer thingy inside my head.

306
00:25:20,200 --> 00:25:28,320
I literally just want you to hop on in there and be like, yo have you been hacked?

307
00:25:28,320 --> 00:25:32,320
Really no need to make small talk with the chip in my head.

308
00:25:32,320 --> 00:25:40,760
Okay no small talk.

309
00:25:40,760 --> 00:25:43,520
Hello?

310
00:25:43,520 --> 00:25:46,160
Business inquiry only here?

311
00:25:46,160 --> 00:25:53,200
Can you just please tell me what's the state of your security please pretty please and

312
00:25:53,200 --> 00:25:54,720
then that's all.

313
00:25:54,720 --> 00:25:57,280
I was hallucinating if that helps.

314
00:25:57,280 --> 00:26:02,080
I saw a person in the room that disappeared so I just want to make sure that nobody's

315
00:26:02,080 --> 00:26:08,720
added a hallucinogen mod to the chip.

316
00:26:08,720 --> 00:26:09,720
Right.

317
00:26:09,720 --> 00:26:20,840
If you see any changes to your parameters in the last 24 hours please please tell me.

318
00:26:20,840 --> 00:26:25,640
The tiny thing that you haven't quite fully like registered or looked at before is this

319
00:26:25,640 --> 00:26:35,200
very very very thin thread that leads just past Skye's eye to the space behind it.

320
00:26:35,200 --> 00:26:41,760
You hear like a slight feedback, feel a lot of different systems.

321
00:26:41,760 --> 00:26:53,600
A tracker that has been disabled, a remote way of controlling skateboard.

322
00:26:53,600 --> 00:27:10,560
But you do sense a fresh presence in the chip.

323
00:27:10,560 --> 00:27:28,000
A slight like embers of a new system inside it.

324
00:27:28,000 --> 00:27:31,480
Something appears to have been done to the chip.

325
00:27:31,480 --> 00:27:34,040
I don't know exactly what yet.

326
00:27:34,040 --> 00:27:35,400
Delir.

327
00:27:35,400 --> 00:27:47,080
I can sometimes fix things like that but if I'm being very honest normally I don't do

328
00:27:47,080 --> 00:27:57,440
things that are attached to my dear friend's brains so I would really like to take some

329
00:27:57,440 --> 00:28:02,720
time for this.

330
00:28:02,720 --> 00:28:03,960
Thanks for doing it.

331
00:28:03,960 --> 00:28:08,320
You're literally the only option I could think of.

332
00:28:08,320 --> 00:28:14,360
Well I was gonna say, do you happen to have that boy's number?

333
00:28:14,360 --> 00:28:16,800
That's not an option.

334
00:28:16,800 --> 00:28:21,040
That's why I said you were the only option.

335
00:28:21,040 --> 00:28:24,000
Whether or not I still have his number is not important.

336
00:28:24,000 --> 00:28:29,300
Well I was just gonna suggest maybe if he has the same abilities maybe we could work

337
00:28:29,300 --> 00:28:39,500
together on it and it just be two brains on the same task and it could be safer for you

338
00:28:39,500 --> 00:28:44,240
and your mind which is very valuable and important.

339
00:28:44,240 --> 00:28:47,680
And I'm just putting it out there.

340
00:28:47,680 --> 00:28:53,560
I will still do this if you say no and I will take my time and I will be very careful but

341
00:28:53,560 --> 00:29:00,000
it was just a thought.

342
00:29:00,000 --> 00:29:02,680
He stole the crystal.

343
00:29:02,680 --> 00:29:03,680
I agree.

344
00:29:03,680 --> 00:29:05,800
I'm not his biggest fan.

345
00:29:05,800 --> 00:29:08,120
You wanna let this kid in my brain?

346
00:29:08,120 --> 00:29:13,160
He well I would be escorting him.

347
00:29:13,160 --> 00:29:16,680
I don't want him escorting anything anywhere close to me.

348
00:29:16,680 --> 00:29:18,440
Okay got it.

349
00:29:18,440 --> 00:29:19,440
Understood.

350
00:29:19,440 --> 00:29:20,440
Absolutely.

351
00:29:20,440 --> 00:29:25,320
It was just an idea.

352
00:29:25,320 --> 00:29:34,000
I will give you his number and if we think that is our only option then you can text

353
00:29:34,000 --> 00:29:35,000
him.

354
00:29:35,000 --> 00:29:39,800
Is that a good middle ground dude?

355
00:29:39,800 --> 00:29:42,800
Okay yes.

356
00:29:42,800 --> 00:29:44,320
Pass it over.

357
00:29:44,320 --> 00:29:48,380
There was before we head on out there into the day.

358
00:29:48,380 --> 00:29:51,800
There was one more thing that I wanted to talk to you about.

359
00:29:51,800 --> 00:29:54,480
What's that?

360
00:29:54,480 --> 00:30:00,280
I was raised to be a manipulator.

361
00:30:00,280 --> 00:30:01,280
Calm down.

362
00:30:01,280 --> 00:30:02,280
Okay.

363
00:30:02,280 --> 00:30:12,000
And a manipulator's job is to find what someone is motivated by and trade it with them in

364
00:30:12,000 --> 00:30:16,400
exchange for whatever they want.

365
00:30:16,400 --> 00:30:20,440
The void wants you alive.

366
00:30:20,440 --> 00:30:32,160
So I just need to tell you that at the worst of times the void didn't feel like a cult.

367
00:30:32,160 --> 00:30:36,160
It felt like a community.

368
00:30:36,160 --> 00:30:42,960
They felt like the only people in the entire world that wanted to help me.

369
00:30:42,960 --> 00:30:46,320
That wanted to take care of me.

370
00:30:46,320 --> 00:30:50,680
They were the only people in the world that felt like they wanted to make the world a

371
00:30:50,680 --> 00:30:51,680
better place.

372
00:30:51,680 --> 00:30:53,160
And I know because they told me so.

373
00:30:53,160 --> 00:30:54,160
A lot.

374
00:30:54,160 --> 00:31:02,820
They told me that no one outside would care about me like they did.

375
00:31:02,820 --> 00:31:13,760
So I need you, especially if they want to use you, to know that if any void member comes

376
00:31:13,760 --> 00:31:22,280
up to you and tries to give you affection, it's not for free.

377
00:31:22,280 --> 00:31:29,200
And I just need you to do me a solid and run as fast as you can.

378
00:31:29,200 --> 00:31:30,200
Okay?

379
00:31:30,200 --> 00:31:31,200
Okay.

380
00:31:31,200 --> 00:31:35,520
Stellar, let's go get breakfast.

381
00:31:35,520 --> 00:31:37,520
Sure.

382
00:31:37,520 --> 00:31:39,560
Okay.

383
00:31:39,560 --> 00:31:47,600
You walk out, both of you walk out of the closet to his arm and theriac in the main

384
00:31:47,600 --> 00:31:48,600
living space.

385
00:31:48,600 --> 00:31:51,600
I'm just pouring coffee.

386
00:31:51,600 --> 00:31:53,600
There's coffee?

387
00:31:53,600 --> 00:31:54,600
Yes.

388
00:31:54,600 --> 00:31:55,600
Fair trade.

389
00:31:55,600 --> 00:31:56,600
Gimme gimme gimme.

390
00:31:56,600 --> 00:31:59,600
Yes, well, what would be a fair trade?

391
00:31:59,600 --> 00:32:00,600
I don't have anything.

392
00:32:00,600 --> 00:32:01,600
No, nevermind.

393
00:32:01,600 --> 00:32:02,600
I'm a minor.

394
00:32:02,600 --> 00:32:08,600
Is coffee all right for someone of your species of your age?

395
00:32:08,600 --> 00:32:12,320
I mean, there's a lot of stuff we do that isn't all right for my species.

396
00:32:12,320 --> 00:32:13,320
But we do it anyway.

397
00:32:13,320 --> 00:32:14,320
You know?

398
00:32:14,320 --> 00:32:15,320
You have a good point.

399
00:32:15,320 --> 00:32:16,320
Here you go.

400
00:32:16,320 --> 00:32:24,120
Is that how you drink coffee?

401
00:32:24,120 --> 00:32:26,120
I just start giggling.

402
00:32:26,120 --> 00:32:29,920
Just eat the mug.

403
00:32:29,920 --> 00:32:33,360
I just has like a little giggle fit at the table.

404
00:32:33,360 --> 00:32:39,080
Okay, we don't need to be laughing at me.

405
00:32:39,080 --> 00:32:40,320
It's too early to be me.

406
00:32:40,320 --> 00:32:44,440
I still have an IV attached to me if anybody else didn't notice.

407
00:32:44,440 --> 00:32:46,160
It's supposed to be hanging up, isn't it?

408
00:32:46,160 --> 00:32:47,160
It is just on the table.

409
00:32:47,160 --> 00:32:48,160
What do I?

410
00:32:48,160 --> 00:32:49,160
It's also almost empty.

411
00:32:49,160 --> 00:32:51,360
Should we be concerned about that?

412
00:32:51,360 --> 00:32:53,280
But that's good.

413
00:32:53,280 --> 00:32:54,280
I think.

414
00:32:54,280 --> 00:32:56,280
Can I toss this away now?

415
00:32:56,280 --> 00:32:57,280
Okay.

416
00:32:57,280 --> 00:33:00,760
All right.

417
00:33:00,760 --> 00:33:08,360
We will make sure you get proper medical attention after our meeting.

418
00:33:08,360 --> 00:33:13,880
I don't think I need it.

419
00:33:13,880 --> 00:33:15,640
I think I might just be built different.

420
00:33:15,640 --> 00:33:17,440
I feel great.

421
00:33:17,440 --> 00:33:20,840
I promise you, Scar, you are not built different.

422
00:33:20,840 --> 00:33:26,840
How do you know?

423
00:33:26,840 --> 00:33:31,320
I know scientifically you are not built different.

424
00:33:31,320 --> 00:33:36,120
You are extremely skilled athletes and border.

425
00:33:36,120 --> 00:33:39,120
Is that what you're called?

426
00:33:39,120 --> 00:33:45,400
I thought you were going to say border, like bordering on something.

427
00:33:45,400 --> 00:33:46,400
No.

428
00:33:46,400 --> 00:33:47,400
Anyway.

429
00:33:47,400 --> 00:33:51,360
You're exceptionally good at thieving things and thieving ships.

430
00:33:51,360 --> 00:33:55,520
I mean, if I was a good thief, you wouldn't know that because you wouldn't know.

431
00:33:55,520 --> 00:33:59,520
Well, I think you've revealed yourself quite a lot to us.

432
00:33:59,520 --> 00:34:05,900
The point being, you are extremely skilled.

433
00:34:05,900 --> 00:34:12,280
That is not outside of the realm of organic capability.

434
00:34:12,280 --> 00:34:14,760
I mean, I don't know the circumstances of my birth.

435
00:34:14,760 --> 00:34:22,800
What if I was born in a volcano to the god of thunder and an owl that holds all the wisdom

436
00:34:22,800 --> 00:34:23,800
of the universe?

437
00:34:23,800 --> 00:34:25,680
Theriac has got a point.

438
00:34:25,680 --> 00:34:31,280
Being exceptional does not mean that you can exceed realms of your own capability.

439
00:34:31,280 --> 00:34:36,680
And I say that looking directly at Theriac, not at Sky.

440
00:34:36,680 --> 00:34:39,960
Well, what if you were?

441
00:34:39,960 --> 00:34:40,960
What if you were special?

442
00:34:40,960 --> 00:34:42,920
I mean, you could be.

443
00:34:42,920 --> 00:34:52,360
What if it was like Gondor the Terrible and how he was born, you know?

444
00:34:52,360 --> 00:34:54,400
Terrible?

445
00:34:54,400 --> 00:34:58,000
Forged by, you know, Gondor.

446
00:34:58,000 --> 00:35:02,560
Tell me, I can't remember the comic book I read 38 times.

447
00:35:02,560 --> 00:35:05,560
Tell me, how was Gondor the Terrible born?

448
00:35:05,560 --> 00:35:13,680
I hate to interrupt this lecture about the natal occurrence of a barbarian in the fictional

449
00:35:13,680 --> 00:35:20,280
realm, but I do have important matters to ask you all.

450
00:35:20,280 --> 00:35:25,280
Of course.

451
00:35:25,280 --> 00:35:42,400
So we, Azam and I, last night went and visited Mr. Wild, Mr. Wild being the other co-founder

452
00:35:42,400 --> 00:35:51,040
of Wildtides, hoping perhaps that he may provide some guidance.

453
00:35:51,040 --> 00:35:55,960
And he was very gracious.

454
00:35:55,960 --> 00:36:04,440
Mr. Wild is willing to assist us in the enforcement of investigation.

455
00:36:04,440 --> 00:36:08,400
Should we want that or desire that?

456
00:36:08,400 --> 00:36:16,800
If we want things, if we want information directly from the mouths of the board members.

457
00:36:16,800 --> 00:36:27,000
I personally would rather stay as far away from Wild as possible.

458
00:36:27,000 --> 00:36:31,040
The Void just has a really big presence on Saga.

459
00:36:31,040 --> 00:36:39,120
And I don't know if I trust someone right away that was affiliated with them, but I'm

460
00:36:39,120 --> 00:36:43,160
also kind of just like your sidekick, you know?

461
00:36:43,160 --> 00:36:49,480
So I will, if you just go into a meeting, I'm just going to be somewhere else is what I'm

462
00:36:49,480 --> 00:36:50,480
saying.

463
00:36:50,480 --> 00:36:51,480
You've got expertise here.

464
00:36:51,480 --> 00:36:53,440
Let's not discount it.

465
00:36:53,440 --> 00:36:54,440
I wasn't discounting it.

466
00:36:54,440 --> 00:36:56,400
I definitely know I have expertise.

467
00:36:56,400 --> 00:37:03,720
I just want to keep it far away from Mr. Wild.

468
00:37:03,720 --> 00:37:07,160
How are you feeling, by the way?

469
00:37:07,160 --> 00:37:08,160
Stellar.

470
00:37:08,160 --> 00:37:16,480
I mean, like the coffee is kind of giving me a little headache.

471
00:37:16,480 --> 00:37:17,480
Okay.

472
00:37:17,480 --> 00:37:24,000
Just spit it out.

473
00:37:24,000 --> 00:37:27,400
We got so little time here, man.

474
00:37:27,400 --> 00:37:28,400
You almost died.

475
00:37:28,400 --> 00:37:33,120
Wouldn't be the first time.

476
00:37:33,120 --> 00:37:36,360
Skye, you almost...

477
00:37:36,360 --> 00:37:40,400
Are you sure you're all right?

478
00:37:40,400 --> 00:37:42,640
This is going to sound real dark.

479
00:37:42,640 --> 00:37:48,000
I don't know how to not make it sound real dark.

480
00:37:48,000 --> 00:37:54,920
Breathing in the air of the lower decks my whole life and other circumstances of it,

481
00:37:54,920 --> 00:38:05,240
I've had to process and accept the possibility of dying young since I was about five.

482
00:38:05,240 --> 00:38:06,600
So was it scary?

483
00:38:06,600 --> 00:38:07,600
Yes.

484
00:38:07,600 --> 00:38:08,600
I'm not saying it wasn't.

485
00:38:08,600 --> 00:38:10,600
Was it difficult?

486
00:38:10,600 --> 00:38:11,600
Yes.

487
00:38:11,600 --> 00:38:15,040
But I'm fine.

488
00:38:15,040 --> 00:38:18,920
It wasn't a surprising experience.

489
00:38:18,920 --> 00:38:20,920
And physically?

490
00:38:20,920 --> 00:38:25,640
I felt worse after a Jajan's dog.

491
00:38:25,640 --> 00:38:30,640
Is there any chance I could convince you to go back to the hospital?

492
00:38:30,640 --> 00:38:31,640
I'm very sorry.

493
00:38:31,640 --> 00:38:32,640
Wait, hold on.

494
00:38:32,640 --> 00:38:35,640
I just want to hear a yes and no.

495
00:38:35,640 --> 00:38:36,640
Unlikely.

496
00:38:36,640 --> 00:38:37,640
Okay.

497
00:38:37,640 --> 00:38:41,400
I pull out like a big old jug of water.

498
00:38:41,400 --> 00:38:43,400
Drink all this, yeah?

499
00:38:43,400 --> 00:38:44,400
Please.

500
00:38:44,400 --> 00:38:46,960
Go on, Doc.

501
00:38:46,960 --> 00:38:51,240
I just want opinions on the matter.

502
00:38:51,240 --> 00:38:57,280
I understand also that you all are here to actually experience wild times, and I want

503
00:38:57,280 --> 00:39:01,920
you all to experience the thing I've put years of work into and I am very proud of

504
00:39:01,920 --> 00:39:10,600
and give you all comprehension of the thing itself, and I feel as though you are all being

505
00:39:10,600 --> 00:39:18,600
introduced backwards into the thing I am most honored to be associated with.

506
00:39:18,600 --> 00:39:27,120
We will see it once we know what's going on and that it's safe.

507
00:39:27,120 --> 00:39:29,000
I'm looking forward to it.

508
00:39:29,000 --> 00:39:34,120
Yeah, dude, I was excited to see your facility.

509
00:39:34,120 --> 00:39:36,720
Now I get to see your facility.

510
00:39:36,720 --> 00:39:38,680
And there's a murder plot.

511
00:39:38,680 --> 00:39:40,200
This rules.

512
00:39:40,200 --> 00:39:42,560
That does not rule.

513
00:39:42,560 --> 00:39:47,100
That absolutely does not rule.

514
00:39:47,100 --> 00:39:49,920
By all accounts, that is a terrible metric.

515
00:39:49,920 --> 00:39:55,600
It's just a little more exciting than a roller coaster, you know?

516
00:39:55,600 --> 00:39:57,440
It is not exciting for me.

517
00:39:57,440 --> 00:40:03,240
We will figure this out and then we'll go get a burger and see all the animals.

518
00:40:03,240 --> 00:40:08,160
We just have to make sure that we don't, you know, destroy this place in the process and

519
00:40:08,160 --> 00:40:15,160
then we can enjoy it just as much once we solve the mystery.

520
00:40:15,160 --> 00:40:20,360
So I had a thought.

521
00:40:20,360 --> 00:40:25,240
I know that there are other board members and that they might have insights and they

522
00:40:25,240 --> 00:40:27,200
might be able to help.

523
00:40:27,200 --> 00:40:40,160
I also know that apparently there's some sort of bounty on my head, which is a-okay.

524
00:40:40,160 --> 00:40:44,000
So I probably shouldn't be involved in that.

525
00:40:44,000 --> 00:40:51,800
But maybe I could look at the chip that we got off the rat and I could investigate it,

526
00:40:51,800 --> 00:41:01,440
try to find anything that might help us pinpoint or narrow things down.

527
00:41:01,440 --> 00:41:08,580
I'm sure that in all those hours there's something suspicious, something telling.

528
00:41:08,580 --> 00:41:12,000
So maybe I could do that.

529
00:41:12,000 --> 00:41:22,040
As you all sit and discuss, there is a very brief tone that goes throughout the room.

530
00:41:22,040 --> 00:41:24,880
Do do do do.

531
00:41:24,880 --> 00:41:28,760
Doctor, there is someone at your door.

532
00:41:28,760 --> 00:41:33,200
This person's name is- Hey, it's me, it's your boy.

533
00:41:33,200 --> 00:41:34,200
I just got some food.

534
00:41:34,200 --> 00:41:35,200
I went out.

535
00:41:35,200 --> 00:41:41,520
I want to get le- Are they allowed to come in?

536
00:41:41,520 --> 00:41:45,720
I walk over to the door before I can even finish talking, because I just can't and I

537
00:41:45,720 --> 00:41:46,720
open it up.

538
00:41:46,720 --> 00:41:47,720
Hey!

539
00:41:47,720 --> 00:41:48,720
Hey!

540
00:41:48,720 --> 00:41:49,720
What's up, my dude?

541
00:41:49,720 --> 00:41:52,160
Oh, you're in a good mood.

542
00:41:52,160 --> 00:41:55,280
At least someone is.

543
00:41:55,280 --> 00:41:56,280
Scrap comes in.

544
00:41:56,280 --> 00:42:10,720
He's covered in dirt, but has a little baggie of some fast food that was in Raven's Roost.

545
00:42:10,720 --> 00:42:15,480
Okay, I don't mean to interrupt whatever you're doing.

546
00:42:15,480 --> 00:42:16,480
Hands to the bag.

547
00:42:16,480 --> 00:42:20,480
I just bought a bunch of lunch and breakfast things I have.

548
00:42:20,480 --> 00:42:24,560
Shuts the door and turns back.

549
00:42:24,560 --> 00:42:26,360
I've dealt with the problem.

550
00:42:26,360 --> 00:42:30,840
I've gotten rid of the body.

551
00:42:30,840 --> 00:42:34,560
Yep.

552
00:42:34,560 --> 00:42:35,920
How is everyone doing today?

553
00:42:35,920 --> 00:42:36,920
What is the plan?

554
00:42:36,920 --> 00:42:37,920
What are we talking about?

555
00:42:37,920 --> 00:42:40,840
We're going to go sit down about a very long night.

556
00:42:40,840 --> 00:42:41,840
I mean, we got food.

557
00:42:41,840 --> 00:42:48,680
Why don't we pop open a projector or something, take a look at what's on this card, because

558
00:42:48,680 --> 00:42:50,440
the rat had a camera on their head, right?

559
00:42:50,440 --> 00:42:52,160
I'm assuming it's like a video file.

560
00:42:52,160 --> 00:42:53,160
Mm-hmm.

561
00:42:53,160 --> 00:42:54,160
Yeah.

562
00:42:54,160 --> 00:42:55,160
That's right.

563
00:42:55,160 --> 00:42:58,160
We're going to grab some french fries.

564
00:42:58,160 --> 00:43:06,080
Dr. Therriac, would that be okay?

565
00:43:06,080 --> 00:43:13,600
I unfortunately have a lot on my plate.

566
00:43:13,600 --> 00:43:14,600
You all may.

567
00:43:14,600 --> 00:43:15,760
I'm not going to stop you.

568
00:43:15,760 --> 00:43:22,680
I have other things to attend to.

569
00:43:22,680 --> 00:43:27,400
I just want preference as to how we want to do this.

570
00:43:27,400 --> 00:43:34,680
Do we want to confront them or do we want to perform espionage?

571
00:43:34,680 --> 00:43:39,720
I think the best strategy would be to perform espionage, because if you're trying to get

572
00:43:39,720 --> 00:43:43,480
information out of people, going in guns blazing isn't a good first move.

573
00:43:43,480 --> 00:43:45,080
You want to get people to trust you first.

574
00:43:45,080 --> 00:43:51,400
So maybe we all pick a board member and hang out with them for a while, let their boundaries

575
00:43:51,400 --> 00:43:55,160
down and then start asking them some questions.

576
00:43:55,160 --> 00:43:59,280
I feel like it's a good idea for you to just try and match this up to people who you think

577
00:43:59,280 --> 00:44:03,680
would be able to view well or get along with.

578
00:44:03,680 --> 00:44:13,960
I don't mean to discredit this right out of the gate, however I am going to do that.

579
00:44:13,960 --> 00:44:18,600
We are not the most inconspicuous people I've ever seen.

580
00:44:18,600 --> 00:44:22,840
We may not be inconspicuous, but we'll blend in right there in a while so long as we're

581
00:44:22,840 --> 00:44:25,080
not hanging out with each other all the time.

582
00:44:25,080 --> 00:44:29,000
Who's going to notice a yosoki running around?

583
00:44:29,000 --> 00:44:32,400
Well this yosoki is also very much wanted at the moment.

584
00:44:32,400 --> 00:44:41,680
I do think I should stay out of the people part of the espionage.

585
00:44:41,680 --> 00:44:46,760
If you really want to, because you feel safe that way, sure, but there are ways to, I mean

586
00:44:46,760 --> 00:44:47,760
a little make up and-

587
00:44:47,760 --> 00:44:55,840
Look, I hate to fully tell you all this, we have someone wanted and a rebel leader.

588
00:44:55,840 --> 00:45:00,360
We can't just pretend to be regular citizens.

589
00:45:00,360 --> 00:45:04,960
And one ex-void member, right?

590
00:45:04,960 --> 00:45:09,040
Don't ask a single question.

591
00:45:09,040 --> 00:45:16,560
Do not poke, do not prod, do not linger on this conversation.

592
00:45:16,560 --> 00:45:20,360
Dr. Therriak, I have been in the void since I was born.

593
00:45:20,360 --> 00:45:25,680
I am not anymore.

594
00:45:25,680 --> 00:45:26,680
This ends now.

595
00:45:26,680 --> 00:45:35,360
But now you know.

596
00:45:35,360 --> 00:45:38,160
May I recommend an actual interrogation tactic?

597
00:45:38,160 --> 00:45:40,880
Not a bad idea.

598
00:45:40,880 --> 00:45:46,040
Not to say that you don't know, you strike me as the kind of dude that would know interrogation

599
00:45:46,040 --> 00:45:52,800
tactics, but may I recommend that you pair us up with one of the board members who you

600
00:45:52,800 --> 00:46:01,040
think would respect us or respect us so little that they think we're too stupid to not grasp

601
00:46:01,040 --> 00:46:02,360
information from them.

602
00:46:02,360 --> 00:46:06,640
That's the same thing.

603
00:46:06,640 --> 00:46:14,240
So like, do you know anybody that is jealous of youths and time that they've lost or maybe

604
00:46:14,240 --> 00:46:17,720
somebody that would take advantage of I being, oh, so sweet.

605
00:46:17,720 --> 00:46:19,720
Oh, I'm just a little rat.

606
00:46:19,720 --> 00:46:20,720
I don't know anything.

607
00:46:20,720 --> 00:46:22,400
That sounds just like me.

608
00:46:22,400 --> 00:46:24,200
Thank you.

609
00:46:24,200 --> 00:46:32,320
Or somebody that's like, you know, alpha predator and would look up to a Zom because, you know,

610
00:46:32,320 --> 00:46:39,680
they're big, bulky, intimidating and charismatic.

611
00:46:39,680 --> 00:46:45,200
I again, need some time to ruminate over that.

612
00:46:45,200 --> 00:46:55,520
We are discussing a group of now five other members, if I'm correct, amongst three of

613
00:46:55,520 --> 00:46:57,800
you, four of you.

614
00:46:57,800 --> 00:46:58,800
Yes.

615
00:46:58,800 --> 00:47:11,880
You're not the only person that needs to ruminate on that.

616
00:47:11,880 --> 00:47:15,640
Our pasts are our own.

617
00:47:15,640 --> 00:47:18,640
That's the problem.

618
00:47:18,640 --> 00:47:19,640
Yeah.

619
00:47:19,640 --> 00:47:24,080
I need to breathe.

620
00:47:24,080 --> 00:47:26,560
Is there a roof or something?

621
00:47:26,560 --> 00:47:30,400
No, we're surrounded by water.

622
00:47:30,400 --> 00:47:31,680
Okay.

623
00:47:31,680 --> 00:47:34,280
I'm going to give me give me a board member.

624
00:47:34,280 --> 00:47:35,760
I'm going to go meet with them.

625
00:47:35,760 --> 00:47:37,400
No, I do not want that.

626
00:47:37,400 --> 00:47:39,200
I absolutely do not want that right now.

627
00:47:39,200 --> 00:47:45,000
I go to the bathroom, go to the bathroom, go to the bathroom.

628
00:47:45,000 --> 00:47:46,000
There you go.

629
00:47:46,000 --> 00:47:47,000
Sky leaps.

630
00:47:47,000 --> 00:47:58,000
We need to take some time.

631
00:47:58,000 --> 00:48:02,840
Let me see what I can do with the video.

632
00:48:02,840 --> 00:48:10,160
Dr. Theriac, you think and take your time.

633
00:48:10,160 --> 00:48:15,800
Think about who we should go to, if anyone.

634
00:48:15,800 --> 00:48:17,520
Yeah, Theriac.

635
00:48:17,520 --> 00:48:21,680
Why don't you sleep on it?

636
00:48:21,680 --> 00:48:26,680
I think Theriac just leaves.

637
00:48:26,680 --> 00:48:28,680
Okay.

638
00:48:28,680 --> 00:48:32,960
What?

639
00:48:32,960 --> 00:48:37,400
What?

640
00:48:37,400 --> 00:48:43,000
I just want to know.

641
00:48:43,000 --> 00:48:54,280
Do you think this idea of going and speaking to board members is the safest one?

642
00:48:54,280 --> 00:48:55,840
We observe them while we speak to them.

643
00:48:55,840 --> 00:48:56,840
One or the other.

644
00:48:56,840 --> 00:49:01,400
We figure out a way to do it over cameras privately in their private places.

645
00:49:01,400 --> 00:49:03,520
It'd be a good option.

646
00:49:03,520 --> 00:49:10,240
But yes, we cannot deal with this kind of thing with gloves on, unfortunately.

647
00:49:10,240 --> 00:49:12,360
Okay.

648
00:49:12,360 --> 00:49:17,640
Maybe that's maybe that's a better route.

649
00:49:17,640 --> 00:49:22,960
Maybe we can spy a bit.

650
00:49:22,960 --> 00:49:26,240
If we spy, what we can do is narrow down a list of options.

651
00:49:26,240 --> 00:49:28,160
We'll still likely have to do some one-on-ones.

652
00:49:28,160 --> 00:49:39,640
Okay, but maybe we can limit it and maybe limit the amount of time we're putting the

653
00:49:39,640 --> 00:49:48,000
higher profile people among us under tough circumstances.

654
00:49:48,000 --> 00:49:53,520
Are you all right?

655
00:49:53,520 --> 00:50:00,480
Oh, I just I was worried about something else and forgot to worry about the fact that I'm

656
00:50:00,480 --> 00:50:02,520
wanted by the void.

657
00:50:02,520 --> 00:50:03,520
What are you worried about?

658
00:50:03,520 --> 00:50:04,520
Oh, good.

659
00:50:04,520 --> 00:50:06,720
Now I'm worried about that.

660
00:50:06,720 --> 00:50:07,720
So that's good.

661
00:50:07,720 --> 00:50:08,720
That's good.

662
00:50:08,720 --> 00:50:13,160
I'm just keeping my worries present.

663
00:50:13,160 --> 00:50:14,800
That's all right.

664
00:50:14,800 --> 00:50:21,320
I'm going to go check on Skye just in a gentle way.

665
00:50:21,320 --> 00:50:23,760
It's all going to be okay.

666
00:50:23,760 --> 00:50:31,280
Before you do that, I grab the bag of food and hand it over.

667
00:50:31,280 --> 00:50:34,280
Oh, okay.

668
00:50:34,280 --> 00:50:46,680
It's like a little shoveling occurs and I go over to the bathroom, sit outside the door

669
00:50:46,680 --> 00:50:52,880
without knocking or going in and just, Skye, I'm not going to come in.

670
00:50:52,880 --> 00:50:53,880
I certainly hope not.

671
00:50:53,880 --> 00:50:56,080
I'm taking a big stinky shit in here.

672
00:50:56,080 --> 00:50:57,080
I get the life.

673
00:50:57,080 --> 00:50:58,080
I'm just saying.

674
00:50:58,080 --> 00:51:05,480
Do you want to talk through the door?

675
00:51:05,480 --> 00:51:07,480
No.

676
00:51:07,480 --> 00:51:09,480
Okay.

677
00:51:09,480 --> 00:51:16,760
That's weird that you want to talk to me while I'm taking a big stinky shit.

678
00:51:16,760 --> 00:51:24,000
I assumed that this was a ruse to get away from the situation.

679
00:51:24,000 --> 00:51:25,000
I didn't.

680
00:51:25,000 --> 00:51:26,000
Never mind.

681
00:51:26,000 --> 00:51:27,000
Okay.

682
00:51:27,000 --> 00:51:28,000
Goodbye.

683
00:51:28,000 --> 00:51:32,920
Can I open the door?

684
00:51:32,920 --> 00:51:34,880
One day.

685
00:51:34,880 --> 00:51:36,280
One day.

686
00:51:36,280 --> 00:51:40,400
I will talk about it.

687
00:51:40,400 --> 00:51:52,640
In order to talk about it, I need to accept that it happened and it can't ever unhappen.

688
00:51:52,640 --> 00:51:55,920
And I haven't done that yet.

689
00:51:55,920 --> 00:52:01,080
Okay.

690
00:52:01,080 --> 00:52:03,080
Don't go in there for a while.

691
00:52:03,080 --> 00:52:07,360
I'm going to go back to the table, keep drinking my coffee.

692
00:52:07,360 --> 00:52:08,360
Okay.

693
00:52:08,360 --> 00:52:12,880
I'm going to take out a comic book though.

694
00:52:12,880 --> 00:52:28,160
I'm going to quietly find a corner and look at the chip somewhere.

695
00:52:28,160 --> 00:52:32,320
Or more accurately, I'm going to try to.

696
00:52:32,320 --> 00:52:43,000
I don't know if we have like, yeah, our laptop or something, whatever computerized thing

697
00:52:43,000 --> 00:52:50,520
we have and I was going to just sit quietly with it for a while.

698
00:52:50,520 --> 00:52:58,280
And I goes to like the table where everyone's sitting and then like has the chip, the USB

699
00:52:58,280 --> 00:53:03,880
in hand and it's like the SIM card and it's like looking around like a little bit frantic

700
00:53:03,880 --> 00:53:11,120
and then scrap it like, like, you can use this and then puts this like kind of almost

701
00:53:11,120 --> 00:53:17,520
threadbare laptop bag and gestures.

702
00:53:17,520 --> 00:53:19,420
It's like not password protected.

703
00:53:19,420 --> 00:53:28,720
It's like this little almost old Macintosh fucking laptop, all put together with different

704
00:53:28,720 --> 00:53:33,120
parts that he's like, you use that.

705
00:53:33,120 --> 00:53:34,120
Okay.

706
00:53:34,120 --> 00:53:35,120
Theriak.

707
00:53:35,120 --> 00:53:40,880
Where did we go?

708
00:53:40,880 --> 00:53:54,920
Theriak left the, left their compound, went back up to the surface and is headed directly

709
00:53:54,920 --> 00:53:57,960
for the lab.

710
00:53:57,960 --> 00:54:13,520
There is, I think, a lot of paranoid doubts running through their mind at the moment that

711
00:54:13,520 --> 00:54:25,160
the lack of sleep is not helping and that lack of sleep and the inspired thoughts convince

712
00:54:25,160 --> 00:54:28,920
them to not sleep further.

713
00:54:28,920 --> 00:54:39,520
They have the crystal in hand, the message in the capsule and they are going to try to

714
00:54:39,520 --> 00:54:42,760
speak to the crystal directly.

715
00:54:42,760 --> 00:54:51,760
They walk past a lot of the behind the scenes equipment and facilities that we had seen

716
00:54:51,760 --> 00:55:01,760
previously, other creatures behind the scenes that we had seen before, the knife squirrel,

717
00:55:01,760 --> 00:55:10,040
the bear thing, the raccoon with a broom, all the way down past all of the veterinary

718
00:55:10,040 --> 00:55:17,640
enclosures deep within the laboratory to their personal office.

719
00:55:17,640 --> 00:55:28,280
It is still a mess as it was last time, still scattered with lots of religious text abound.

720
00:55:28,280 --> 00:55:35,000
And they walk in having forgotten that it was left in that state and immediately begin

721
00:55:35,000 --> 00:55:41,240
to compile it all and are like thumbing through it.

722
00:55:41,240 --> 00:55:50,720
Just trying to refresh themselves on what they had in mind.

723
00:55:50,720 --> 00:56:01,600
I think Theriac is going to place the crystal back in the same machine that it had been

724
00:56:01,600 --> 00:56:06,120
in previously where it had read out those coordinates.

725
00:56:06,120 --> 00:56:15,320
Just as a place to put it for now that won't be forgotten.

726
00:56:15,320 --> 00:56:23,800
And they begin to speak aloud under their breath.

727
00:56:23,800 --> 00:56:25,560
You know me.

728
00:56:25,560 --> 00:56:30,840
You know who I am.

729
00:56:30,840 --> 00:56:34,280
I don't know who you are.

730
00:56:34,280 --> 00:56:39,400
And I want to change that.

731
00:56:39,400 --> 00:56:47,000
You relayed a message to me.

732
00:56:47,000 --> 00:56:53,640
I want a direct feed.

733
00:56:53,640 --> 00:56:58,680
I want to know.

734
00:56:58,680 --> 00:57:07,320
I want you to speak unto me.

735
00:57:07,320 --> 00:57:19,920
I don't know how, but I will find a way to do that.

736
00:57:19,920 --> 00:57:36,400
Theriac is going to begin working on research regarding organisms based around crystalline

737
00:57:36,400 --> 00:57:43,880
memory systems.

738
00:57:43,880 --> 00:57:57,520
There are quite a few species in this galaxy who are made of some type of crystal or have

739
00:57:57,520 --> 00:58:04,160
a more crystalline structure.

740
00:58:04,160 --> 00:58:19,160
And quite quickly you dismiss these ideas as a... they're too different in structure

741
00:58:19,160 --> 00:58:23,400
from this crystal.

742
00:58:23,400 --> 00:58:40,600
You know from what Ike has told you about its words and from studying the shape of the

743
00:58:40,600 --> 00:58:49,080
crystal itself you know that it is a broken part of a whole.

744
00:58:49,080 --> 00:59:12,160
And even this smaller bit identifying it as a thing seems cruel.

745
00:59:12,160 --> 00:59:26,640
Because during your research and this time that you spend you get the feeling that the

746
00:59:26,640 --> 00:59:37,080
crystal is almost a living being in its own right.

747
00:59:37,080 --> 00:59:51,000
Still unsure of its... if it has sentience or if these words that it keeps repeating.

748
00:59:51,000 --> 01:00:00,360
Unsure if this is a almost pre-recorded message or a natural response that this crystal keeps

749
01:00:00,360 --> 01:00:06,760
stating.

750
01:00:06,760 --> 01:00:20,520
You think about this new statement that it said which is Doctor.

751
01:00:20,520 --> 01:00:29,980
It has never addressed Ike as far as you're aware.

752
01:00:29,980 --> 01:00:41,720
So the fact that it's addressed you is unique.

753
01:00:41,720 --> 01:00:52,520
There might be a chance that it might not directly be addressing you but stating another

754
01:00:52,520 --> 01:01:00,960
part of this message that it seems to feed in.

755
01:01:00,960 --> 01:01:10,640
But then also maybe it finds some form of kinsmanship with your own mind.

756
01:01:10,640 --> 01:01:25,640
You move from digital writing to physical for a bit and you sitting next to the crystal

757
01:01:25,640 --> 01:01:40,000
whilst watching it tap a pen that you hold in your hand on the side of this table.

758
01:01:40,000 --> 01:01:49,480
And you keep hearing the words in your mind as it repeats I am pulling, pulling.

759
01:01:49,480 --> 01:01:56,400
And you put the pen down on the table and you turn just to look at some other texts.

760
01:01:56,400 --> 01:02:03,280
And as you go back your hand naturally lands on the space that you placed the pen.

761
01:02:03,280 --> 01:02:08,120
You notice that it's rolled slightly towards the crystal.

762
01:02:08,120 --> 01:02:18,360
And a few other things have also just pulled slightly toward it.

763
01:02:18,360 --> 01:02:27,720
Almost like this crystal has taken a breath in.

764
01:02:27,720 --> 01:02:38,000
Is it a specific set of things that are like intended to like incite action or is it just

765
01:02:38,000 --> 01:02:41,440
a series of light objects?

766
01:02:41,440 --> 01:02:47,600
Things that the pen was rounded cylinder it rolled toward a slight piece of paper slightly

767
01:02:47,600 --> 01:02:52,680
fluttered toward it.

768
01:02:52,680 --> 01:03:08,600
And Iriak will look around the room seeing these smaller objects pulled closer.

769
01:03:08,600 --> 01:03:33,800
The

770
01:03:33,800 --> 01:03:44,480
crystal hovers ominously unsure if it heard you or can hear you.

771
01:03:44,480 --> 01:03:56,240
But it sits a small light from the room reflects and refracts in it.

772
01:03:56,240 --> 01:04:02,800
These rainbow patterns shine from the inside of it just like you saw on the Leviathan's

773
01:04:02,800 --> 01:04:09,840
Eye when there was just one beam of light that was refracting all of these different

774
01:04:09,840 --> 01:04:11,880
lights around the room.

775
01:04:11,880 --> 01:04:23,320
You just sit and suddenly hovers this low hum of the lab as you watch these rainbow

776
01:04:23,320 --> 01:04:28,640
refractions.

777
01:04:28,640 --> 01:04:39,920
Something seems to come from its watching of you and your watching of it.

778
01:04:39,920 --> 01:04:57,320
When I first learned you spoke I thought you might be someone to assist us.

779
01:04:57,320 --> 01:05:07,040
Perhaps even someone I already know.

780
01:05:07,040 --> 01:05:14,400
I am beginning to doubt that.

781
01:05:14,400 --> 01:05:24,160
But every good scientist has faith.

782
01:05:24,160 --> 01:05:31,280
I have not given up on you.

783
01:05:31,280 --> 01:05:40,880
I do one thing very well and it is learn.

784
01:05:40,880 --> 01:05:46,520
I will return you to Ike.

785
01:05:46,520 --> 01:06:00,400
If you have objections leave a message.

786
01:06:00,400 --> 01:06:14,200
In the Almanac, which is the religious text of photoism, Theriac has propped open an image

787
01:06:14,200 --> 01:06:28,800
from a story describing sativum and what it looks like its inhabitants what it is.

788
01:06:28,800 --> 01:06:36,320
Inside this illustration are these almost sentinel like figures.

789
01:06:36,320 --> 01:06:46,160
Something if we were to compare it to a religion that we understand as earth people these look

790
01:06:46,160 --> 01:06:50,400
like Lama Sue from Babylon.

791
01:06:50,400 --> 01:06:57,200
These look like archangels from the Abrahamic religions.

792
01:06:57,200 --> 01:07:00,640
Massive divine beings.

793
01:07:00,640 --> 01:07:06,140
But they are not the deities themselves.

794
01:07:06,140 --> 01:07:25,960
They are something more akin to delegates, acolytes, servants to these higher powers.

795
01:07:25,960 --> 01:07:33,220
And they appear some mix of all four elements.

796
01:07:33,220 --> 01:07:36,400
Something between stone and plant and plasma.

797
01:07:36,400 --> 01:07:38,600
And all fused together.

798
01:07:38,600 --> 01:07:49,960
Not as a jigsaw, but as a blend.

799
01:07:49,960 --> 01:07:53,560
Theriac leaves the lab in a little bit better condition than last time.

800
01:07:53,560 --> 01:07:55,320
The papers are not scattered about.

801
01:07:55,320 --> 01:07:58,880
It does not have to leave in a rush like last time.

802
01:07:58,880 --> 01:08:04,920
And everything is a little bit tidier.

803
01:08:04,920 --> 01:08:12,720
May I actually say that you opened the door to sky like...

804
01:08:12,720 --> 01:08:14,720
Yo!

805
01:08:14,720 --> 01:08:16,960
Hello.

806
01:08:16,960 --> 01:08:22,480
I haven't been standing here too long.

807
01:08:22,480 --> 01:08:25,840
I definitely heard you talking to yourself but that just seems like you know the part

808
01:08:25,840 --> 01:08:28,360
of your whole vibe.

809
01:08:28,360 --> 01:08:30,600
I don't want to take up too much of your time.

810
01:08:30,600 --> 01:08:35,960
And in fact I can't because if I linger on certain memories too long I have a complete

811
01:08:35,960 --> 01:08:38,000
meltdown like you witnessed.

812
01:08:38,000 --> 01:08:40,960
Which I apologize for that by the way.

813
01:08:40,960 --> 01:08:45,840
So I'm going to be vague and I'm going to beat around the bush but I didn't want to

814
01:08:45,840 --> 01:08:48,640
tell you like that.

815
01:08:48,640 --> 01:08:54,320
I was kind of hoping it would be after I like saved a life or cured a disease or something.

816
01:08:54,320 --> 01:08:58,800
I guess maybe I subconsciously wanted you to know like I feel bad or something because

817
01:08:58,800 --> 01:09:01,200
I'm usually not that bad with slip ups.

818
01:09:01,200 --> 01:09:09,320
It was really embarrassing for me actually but I just want to know if...

819
01:09:09,320 --> 01:09:10,880
I just want to know if you hate me.

820
01:09:10,880 --> 01:09:13,000
There's no wrong answer to this.

821
01:09:13,000 --> 01:09:14,240
It's not an interrogation or anything.

822
01:09:14,240 --> 01:09:19,840
I just would rather know if you hate me.

823
01:09:19,840 --> 01:09:21,840
And then I'll leave you alone.

824
01:09:21,840 --> 01:09:28,640
Do you think I hate you?

825
01:09:28,640 --> 01:09:34,440
I mean I'd hate me.

826
01:09:34,440 --> 01:09:38,680
I do hate me.

827
01:09:38,680 --> 01:09:44,200
Was there anything indicative within my behavior that indicated I hate you?

828
01:09:44,200 --> 01:09:46,840
You stormed off right after finding out.

829
01:09:46,840 --> 01:09:49,240
I stormed off too to be fair but...

830
01:09:49,240 --> 01:09:53,920
Do you want to sit?

831
01:09:53,920 --> 01:09:58,840
I would but I can't feel my legs.

832
01:09:58,840 --> 01:10:02,400
Why don't you come inside?

833
01:10:02,400 --> 01:10:04,480
I don't...

834
01:10:04,480 --> 01:10:08,480
It's better we discuss inside than in the hallway.

835
01:10:08,480 --> 01:10:16,200
Yeah I know but like I knew to find you here because what the top of the patchwork is to

836
01:10:16,200 --> 01:10:20,120
me I figured this would be for you.

837
01:10:20,120 --> 01:10:21,120
That is correct.

838
01:10:21,120 --> 01:10:22,120
That's why I'm inviting you in.

839
01:10:22,120 --> 01:10:23,120
Oh geez okay.

840
01:10:23,120 --> 01:10:29,120
The inner sanctum.

841
01:10:29,120 --> 01:10:39,720
This is a very, as a refresher, very mix between clinical center, greenhouse, veterinary center,

842
01:10:39,720 --> 01:10:46,400
like very both clinical and natural.

843
01:10:46,400 --> 01:10:49,160
It is a very strange mix.

844
01:10:49,160 --> 01:10:58,480
It is also organized in a very peculiar way to other labs you might have walked past and

845
01:10:58,480 --> 01:10:59,960
seen.

846
01:10:59,960 --> 01:11:05,400
There is something ritual about this place.

847
01:11:05,400 --> 01:11:11,960
Some theory act shows you to a seat near their desk.

848
01:11:11,960 --> 01:11:16,560
I don't know if I can have like a sit down conversation about this.

849
01:11:16,560 --> 01:11:26,440
I don't know if you saw my brain melt.

850
01:11:26,440 --> 01:11:35,480
I want to just talk to a friend right now.

851
01:11:35,480 --> 01:11:41,680
I want to talk to you.

852
01:11:41,680 --> 01:11:53,460
When I stormed off earlier that was not me.

853
01:11:53,460 --> 01:12:03,200
That was not me passing judgment on you or Ike or Zom or Scrap.

854
01:12:03,200 --> 01:12:09,400
That was me being overwhelmed with the situation and needing to remove myself.

855
01:12:09,400 --> 01:12:10,880
You are very correct.

856
01:12:10,880 --> 01:12:15,880
This location is my top of the patchwork.

857
01:12:15,880 --> 01:12:23,560
This is where I come to think and meditate.

858
01:12:23,560 --> 01:12:35,440
It's a very different meditation, but it is where I process.

859
01:12:35,440 --> 01:12:49,440
You say that your life is different from mine is a vast understatement.

860
01:12:49,440 --> 01:13:05,400
I understand that you being a part of this crew is not, is something that you hold dear.

861
01:13:05,400 --> 01:13:10,560
You enjoy our company and I enjoy yours very much.

862
01:13:10,560 --> 01:13:17,960
I do consider you a friend and a pupil and a mentor.

863
01:13:17,960 --> 01:13:22,880
Do you understand?

864
01:13:22,880 --> 01:13:25,880
Maybe.

865
01:13:25,880 --> 01:13:27,880
Sorry.

866
01:13:27,880 --> 01:13:37,400
No one's ever called me a friend before that wasn't trying to get something out of me.

867
01:13:37,400 --> 01:13:53,760
My initial emotional response is absolute terror, but I'm working on getting over that.

868
01:13:53,760 --> 01:14:00,720
You're right as usual.

869
01:14:00,720 --> 01:14:05,360
You would be surprised.

870
01:14:05,360 --> 01:14:19,520
I think you are seeing a few successes at the long end of several hundred thousand failures.

871
01:14:19,520 --> 01:14:20,520
Failures?

872
01:14:20,520 --> 01:14:27,600
This is not a pep talk.

873
01:14:27,600 --> 01:14:29,720
This is a reality check.

874
01:14:29,720 --> 01:14:37,560
We are sitting in a zoological facility that you built from the ground up, dude.

875
01:14:37,560 --> 01:14:39,600
I understand that.

876
01:14:39,600 --> 01:14:43,080
That was made through those failures.

877
01:14:43,080 --> 01:14:50,200
No, but I just, I need you to pat yourself on the back.

878
01:14:50,200 --> 01:14:53,080
I'm not saying that dismissively.

879
01:14:53,080 --> 01:14:55,920
Failure is part of the scientific process.

880
01:14:55,920 --> 01:15:05,480
But, Theory Yak, I've never been given such a grand opportunity, so.

881
01:15:05,480 --> 01:15:07,560
Right.

882
01:15:07,560 --> 01:15:13,640
You've had a lot of failures.

883
01:15:13,640 --> 01:15:17,080
I respect and understand that.

884
01:15:17,080 --> 01:15:27,120
What you were saying before is true, that our lives are incomparable.

885
01:15:27,120 --> 01:15:38,880
I don't, I wanted to come here and make sure you don't hate me because now you know I can't

886
01:15:38,880 --> 01:15:41,880
get into sativum.

887
01:15:41,880 --> 01:15:54,560
I'm, my heart's freezing up a little bit, so there's a stamina with this subject matter

888
01:15:54,560 --> 01:15:57,080
that I'm running a little low on.

889
01:15:57,080 --> 01:16:03,960
So any follow up questions, Doc?

890
01:16:03,960 --> 01:16:08,480
You are a good friend.

891
01:16:08,480 --> 01:16:13,280
And I appreciate you coming to see me.

892
01:16:13,280 --> 01:16:16,800
I trust you.

893
01:16:16,800 --> 01:16:19,680
And you do have a place in sativum.

894
01:16:19,680 --> 01:16:29,600
That's a weird request, but can you say something mean just to balance that out so I have a

895
01:16:29,600 --> 01:16:33,440
chance of believing it?

896
01:16:33,440 --> 01:16:35,440
Something mean?

897
01:16:35,440 --> 01:16:42,320
A genuine, genuine ask, Dr. Theory Yak.

898
01:16:42,320 --> 01:16:48,560
I've been around a lot of people that I'm trying to avoid being love bombed.

899
01:16:48,560 --> 01:16:51,400
Do you know what love bombing is?

900
01:16:51,400 --> 01:16:52,680
I'm familiar with the term.

901
01:16:52,680 --> 01:16:58,040
Yeah, so I just need you to be like a dick for a second.

902
01:16:58,040 --> 01:17:03,920
Just say something like, oh, I know you got a bunch of thoughts brewing up in there.

903
01:17:03,920 --> 01:17:05,400
Just let one of them out.

904
01:17:05,400 --> 01:17:08,160
I trust you.

905
01:17:08,160 --> 01:17:14,760
I need you to trust me.

906
01:17:14,760 --> 01:17:23,000
How can I go about that better?

907
01:17:23,000 --> 01:17:29,800
I know we are all still relatively new to one another.

908
01:17:29,800 --> 01:17:42,680
But I hope that I am not so intimidating that you can't share the truth with me.

909
01:17:42,680 --> 01:17:47,040
I don't know if intimidating is the word I would use.

910
01:17:47,040 --> 01:17:48,280
You're like a foot.

911
01:17:48,280 --> 01:17:53,000
I could kick you across the room.

912
01:17:53,000 --> 01:17:54,440
All right.

913
01:17:54,440 --> 01:17:55,560
Okay.

914
01:17:55,560 --> 01:18:01,280
I understand what you're saying.

915
01:18:01,280 --> 01:18:13,560
Knowing things about everyone in our crew will make navigating the issues that surround

916
01:18:13,560 --> 01:18:20,600
each other clearer.

917
01:18:20,600 --> 01:18:28,760
I'm not trying to say something new because I don't trust you and it had nothing to do

918
01:18:28,760 --> 01:18:29,760
with you at all.

919
01:18:29,760 --> 01:18:30,760
In fact, I knew I needed to tell you at some point.

920
01:18:30,760 --> 01:18:36,040
The only reason that you didn't know is because I can't say it out loud.

921
01:18:36,040 --> 01:18:37,280
Yet.

922
01:18:37,280 --> 01:18:44,400
I am the one that I can't hear it.

923
01:18:44,400 --> 01:18:53,160
The only reason I get a ZOM news is because the hats went digging up in there and I spiraled

924
01:18:53,160 --> 01:18:58,440
and freaked out and started self-sabotage.

925
01:18:58,440 --> 01:18:59,440
I was a mess.

926
01:18:59,440 --> 01:19:00,440
It was embarrassing.

927
01:19:00,440 --> 01:19:04,720
God, I'm so glad that you weren't there actually.

928
01:19:04,720 --> 01:19:11,760
It, it, I, I, Theriac, I need you to look me, I'm going to sit down on the ground to

929
01:19:11,760 --> 01:19:13,200
be eye level with you.

930
01:19:13,200 --> 01:19:25,280
Theriac, I do trust you and that's the scariest thing in the world to me.

931
01:19:25,280 --> 01:19:28,640
Now I'm, I'm, I'm going to go.

932
01:19:28,640 --> 01:19:29,640
Okay.

933
01:19:29,640 --> 01:19:34,240
Because I, I definitely left without telling anyone.

934
01:19:34,240 --> 01:19:36,280
So I don't want them to flip out.

935
01:19:36,280 --> 01:19:37,280
Okay.

936
01:19:37,280 --> 01:19:46,240
I wanted to get some air, make sure that you weren't calling wild on me right away.

937
01:19:46,240 --> 01:19:55,880
And then, so I was suspecting you were calling wild on me right away, not because I don't

938
01:19:55,880 --> 01:19:58,240
trust you, it's because I trust you to do the right thing.

939
01:19:58,240 --> 01:20:03,400
I just, you know, wanted to gauge what you thought that was.

940
01:20:03,400 --> 01:20:04,640
Right.

941
01:20:04,640 --> 01:20:10,200
Thank you for tracking up on me.

942
01:20:10,200 --> 01:20:11,680
I still appreciate it.

943
01:20:11,680 --> 01:20:17,520
Do you know how to get out and take a ride at the third door?

944
01:20:17,520 --> 01:20:19,520
Cool beaker.

945
01:20:19,520 --> 01:20:22,960
I'll go back.

946
01:20:22,960 --> 01:20:24,320
Cool.

947
01:20:24,320 --> 01:20:28,920
We move back to Theriac's apartment.

948
01:20:28,920 --> 01:20:33,520
Azzam, is there anything in particular that you're doing?

949
01:20:33,520 --> 01:20:34,520
Nope.

950
01:20:34,520 --> 01:20:42,320
Azzam is just holding a coffee cup, letting it cool down, well, letting it sit at temperature.

951
01:20:42,320 --> 01:20:50,040
Does Azzam's like hands kind of like keep the mug like a little warm?

952
01:20:50,040 --> 01:20:51,040
Yeah.

953
01:20:51,040 --> 01:20:54,080
The coffee's like trying to get cold and Azzam's body's like, no.

954
01:20:54,080 --> 01:20:56,080
Oh, that rules.

955
01:20:56,080 --> 01:20:57,080
Okay.

956
01:20:57,080 --> 01:20:58,080
Cool.

957
01:20:58,080 --> 01:21:01,160
The sucky part is he likes iced coffee, but that's-

958
01:21:01,160 --> 01:21:02,160
Oh no!

959
01:21:02,160 --> 01:21:04,160
That's a possibility.

960
01:21:04,160 --> 01:21:14,240
F. No, he's just sitting there off staring into space, not even taking a sip.

961
01:21:14,240 --> 01:21:15,240
You right there?

962
01:21:15,240 --> 01:21:16,240
Hm?

963
01:21:16,240 --> 01:21:23,920
You had a bit of a long distance there.

964
01:21:23,920 --> 01:21:24,920
Yeah.

965
01:21:24,920 --> 01:21:31,920
Reminds me of the old days.

966
01:21:31,920 --> 01:21:35,440
Home getting to you a bit.

967
01:21:35,440 --> 01:21:36,440
Home sickness.

968
01:21:36,440 --> 01:21:41,440
Yeah, I get that.

969
01:21:41,440 --> 01:21:49,280
At least when I was stuck in a cell, I knew there was no way I could...

970
01:21:49,280 --> 01:21:53,600
I could just pretend like it never happened, like it was a dream.

971
01:21:53,600 --> 01:21:58,040
Push it off into a corner of my mind and deal with it here and now.

972
01:21:58,040 --> 01:21:59,040
Now!

973
01:21:59,040 --> 01:22:07,160
I don't have that luxury anymore.

974
01:22:07,160 --> 01:22:12,400
Plus all this talk of espionage and...

975
01:22:12,400 --> 01:22:17,800
Reminds me of being younger.

976
01:22:17,800 --> 01:22:19,280
Right?

977
01:22:19,280 --> 01:22:24,280
Yeah, I get that.

978
01:22:24,280 --> 01:22:32,200
I don't know what it's like for you, but I've completely forgotten how to speak to people.

979
01:22:32,200 --> 01:22:35,320
I just don't get it.

980
01:22:35,320 --> 01:22:39,520
I've been trying to speak to Ike, trying to give him a pep talk the other day about the

981
01:22:39,520 --> 01:22:42,520
situation, the thing that happened.

982
01:22:42,520 --> 01:22:43,520
God.

983
01:22:43,520 --> 01:22:49,440
I don't know how to do that.

984
01:22:49,440 --> 01:22:54,520
Don't you feel like you just forget to connect, or don't know how to connect to people anymore?

985
01:22:54,520 --> 01:22:55,520
No.

986
01:22:55,520 --> 01:23:00,120
No, I feel like I'm too good at it.

987
01:23:00,120 --> 01:23:08,040
I never really know if someone's interested in me because of me or because of...

988
01:23:08,040 --> 01:23:10,040
Condemn into it somehow.

989
01:23:10,040 --> 01:23:14,920
Seduce them against their wishes into doing what I need.

990
01:23:14,920 --> 01:23:19,920
How are you supposed to fucking tell the difference?

991
01:23:19,920 --> 01:23:20,920
Yeah.

992
01:23:20,920 --> 01:23:25,200
You're all good at it.

993
01:23:25,200 --> 01:23:26,200
It's frustrating.

994
01:23:26,200 --> 01:23:28,880
I've tried very hard to not like you.

995
01:23:28,880 --> 01:23:32,080
We both have kind of like a...

996
01:23:32,080 --> 01:23:37,120
I've built the patchwork and everyone calls me captain, but you have such a leader.

997
01:23:37,120 --> 01:23:40,040
It's like natural.

998
01:23:40,040 --> 01:23:45,200
I tried very hard to be like, I don't trust that guy.

999
01:23:45,200 --> 01:23:50,800
But you offset it pretty hard.

1000
01:23:50,800 --> 01:23:57,640
I wanted to be a baker.

1001
01:23:57,640 --> 01:24:06,240
I wanted to make a cavern wall close to an active volcano and just cook.

1002
01:24:06,240 --> 01:24:13,640
Every day, recognizable pattern of feelings and things and seeing my local community come

1003
01:24:13,640 --> 01:24:17,640
up and be integral.

1004
01:24:17,640 --> 01:24:24,920
Yeah, but not be...

1005
01:24:24,920 --> 01:24:25,920
I'll be fine.

1006
01:24:25,920 --> 01:24:34,480
Just getting sentimental in my old age.

1007
01:24:34,480 --> 01:24:39,760
Sky has her feet up on the kitchen table, crossed, reading a comic book, sipping her

1008
01:24:39,760 --> 01:24:48,200
coffee and just goes, that's life, dude.

1009
01:24:48,200 --> 01:24:50,480
That's just life.

1010
01:24:50,480 --> 01:24:59,200
Having dreams, having them not work out, wanting things, not getting them.

1011
01:24:59,200 --> 01:25:05,880
Once in sky, I lost a planet full of people.

1012
01:25:05,880 --> 01:25:12,240
I didn't just lose my dreams.

1013
01:25:12,240 --> 01:25:17,280
I lost a purpose.

1014
01:25:17,280 --> 01:25:19,680
I mean, think of it.

1015
01:25:19,680 --> 01:25:24,540
How many of me have you actually seen around here?

1016
01:25:24,540 --> 01:25:33,320
How many tall walking fire giants have you seen in the past week who weren't me?

1017
01:25:33,320 --> 01:25:36,760
I'm not saying it wasn't hard.

1018
01:25:36,760 --> 01:25:38,520
Not saying it wasn't fucked up.

1019
01:25:38,520 --> 01:25:48,680
Not saying it wasn't a terrible, awful thing that shouldn't have not happened.

1020
01:25:48,680 --> 01:25:55,080
I'm saying that the universe doesn't care what's fair.

1021
01:25:55,080 --> 01:25:58,600
I know that.

1022
01:25:58,600 --> 01:26:00,000
I'm well aware.

1023
01:26:00,000 --> 01:26:02,960
This is my version of a pep talk.

1024
01:26:02,960 --> 01:26:05,560
I'm not good at them at all.

1025
01:26:05,560 --> 01:26:07,200
And I'm sorry.

1026
01:26:07,200 --> 01:26:09,780
This is genuinely me trying to...

1027
01:26:09,780 --> 01:26:12,080
I know.

1028
01:26:12,080 --> 01:26:13,640
It's not working, but I know.

1029
01:26:13,640 --> 01:26:15,880
I appreciate the effort.

1030
01:26:15,880 --> 01:26:24,880
There's going to be a point at some point in life where the regrets are going to start

1031
01:26:24,880 --> 01:26:25,880
overwhelming everything.

1032
01:26:25,880 --> 01:26:29,440
Oh, at some point?

1033
01:26:29,440 --> 01:26:30,920
Hold on.

1034
01:26:30,920 --> 01:26:36,640
And you're going to think that your role in life is over.

1035
01:26:36,640 --> 01:26:39,120
Think of it like a comic book.

1036
01:26:39,120 --> 01:26:46,080
At some point, a lot of comic books choose to retire a character, right?

1037
01:26:46,080 --> 01:26:48,080
But people are not characters.

1038
01:26:48,080 --> 01:26:53,680
See, my big battle, I fought it, I lost it.

1039
01:26:53,680 --> 01:26:58,640
And now I need to figure out how to live life beyond that.

1040
01:26:58,640 --> 01:27:04,280
And truth is, I have no idea how.

1041
01:27:04,280 --> 01:27:07,640
One day at a time it's not working anymore.

1042
01:27:07,640 --> 01:27:13,240
But we have bigger fish to fry.

1043
01:27:13,240 --> 01:27:18,240
I have something to say before we're done.

1044
01:27:18,240 --> 01:27:19,240
Thank you.

1045
01:27:19,240 --> 01:27:20,240
May I have the floor?

1046
01:27:20,240 --> 01:27:24,680
You can have a talking stick.

1047
01:27:24,680 --> 01:27:26,200
So I was really into this.

1048
01:27:26,200 --> 01:27:29,480
I was really into this comic book at one point, right?

1049
01:27:29,480 --> 01:27:32,400
Like the main character was so fucking cool.

1050
01:27:32,400 --> 01:27:34,080
The art was so rad.

1051
01:27:34,080 --> 01:27:37,560
I was like so into it.

1052
01:27:37,560 --> 01:27:41,720
And then the company make and it just ran out of money.

1053
01:27:41,720 --> 01:27:43,000
I couldn't find the next issue anywhere.

1054
01:27:43,000 --> 01:27:45,760
And I found out it's because it never came out.

1055
01:27:45,760 --> 01:27:48,160
They left it on a cliffhanger.

1056
01:27:48,160 --> 01:27:51,960
God, that sucked so hard.

1057
01:27:51,960 --> 01:27:55,280
But that's life.

1058
01:27:55,280 --> 01:28:06,200
I don't think I've had to come to terms real fast with the fact that maybe there is no

1059
01:28:06,200 --> 01:28:11,400
living after something fucked up happens to you.

1060
01:28:11,400 --> 01:28:15,120
Maybe there's no way you can go back to the way things were before.

1061
01:28:15,120 --> 01:28:21,600
Maybe some things are just broken and they won't be fixed again.

1062
01:28:21,600 --> 01:28:28,920
And you just kind of have to learn to live with that.

1063
01:28:28,920 --> 01:28:30,720
Four plus four doesn't always equal eight.

1064
01:28:30,720 --> 01:28:35,320
You don't get that as a little inside joke with Lentheriak, who they're my friend.

1065
01:28:35,320 --> 01:28:44,480
Oh, I had my time.

1066
01:28:44,480 --> 01:28:51,360
You're floating on air right now, aren't you?

1067
01:28:51,360 --> 01:28:56,080
I'm always floating on air.

1068
01:28:56,080 --> 01:28:57,080
Glad to hear it.

1069
01:28:57,080 --> 01:28:58,080
That's my problem, Sky.

1070
01:28:58,080 --> 01:29:01,080
I don't know how to move on right now.

1071
01:29:01,080 --> 01:29:02,080
Me neither.

1072
01:29:02,080 --> 01:29:08,480
I've got a lot of time to do it.

1073
01:29:08,480 --> 01:29:11,480
Sky, I believe in it.

1074
01:29:11,480 --> 01:29:18,000
I know it sounds ridiculous considering everything I've gone through, but I believe in fate.

1075
01:29:18,000 --> 01:29:21,920
I believe your fate is much different than this.

1076
01:29:21,920 --> 01:29:24,120
Much more.

1077
01:29:24,120 --> 01:29:28,520
I just think you're a late bloomer.

1078
01:29:28,520 --> 01:29:38,280
I think maybe not for lucky, upper deck style bastards, but I think for me, my key to being

1079
01:29:38,280 --> 01:29:48,960
happiness is accepting my comic book might get discontinued.

1080
01:29:48,960 --> 01:29:53,200
My lungs are pretty messed up, dude.

1081
01:29:53,200 --> 01:29:58,920
I'm not cooling down faster than I should be.

1082
01:29:58,920 --> 01:30:00,800
Age comes to all of us.

1083
01:30:00,800 --> 01:30:02,720
Life comes to all of us.

1084
01:30:02,720 --> 01:30:12,600
When you're young, and you are young, the world is going to try and take your heart,

1085
01:30:12,600 --> 01:30:13,600
boy, Sky.

1086
01:30:13,600 --> 01:30:14,600
You shouldn't let it.

1087
01:30:14,600 --> 01:30:15,600
Look at you.

1088
01:30:15,600 --> 01:30:16,600
Look at you.

1089
01:30:16,600 --> 01:30:17,600
You've got a boy chasing after your tail.

1090
01:30:17,600 --> 01:30:18,600
You've only lived a full life.

1091
01:30:18,600 --> 01:30:19,600
Hold on.

1092
01:30:19,600 --> 01:30:23,600
Which one?

1093
01:30:23,600 --> 01:30:30,320
Yeah, your lungs aren't great.

1094
01:30:30,320 --> 01:30:36,200
You almost just died, but I'd say you are in the middle of your golden age.

1095
01:30:36,200 --> 01:30:39,160
Oh, dude, I know.

1096
01:30:39,160 --> 01:30:43,480
This is the best my life has ever been.

1097
01:30:43,480 --> 01:30:50,720
That rules so much more when my happiness isn't dependent on whether or not there's

1098
01:30:50,720 --> 01:30:55,000
hope.

1099
01:30:55,000 --> 01:31:03,400
Because the universe didn't owe me this safety and comfort.

1100
01:31:03,400 --> 01:31:11,000
It happened, regardless.

1101
01:31:11,000 --> 01:31:13,120
This conversation is getting so real.

1102
01:31:13,120 --> 01:31:14,120
Where's Ike?

1103
01:31:14,120 --> 01:31:23,080
Dude, Ike took that laptop and the chip and has found the quietest spot, probably the

1104
01:31:23,080 --> 01:31:30,160
closet where Sky slept, and has closed herself in.

1105
01:31:30,160 --> 01:31:34,040
She's got like, it's like hours and hours.

1106
01:31:34,040 --> 01:31:37,600
It's like so many hours of footage, right?

1107
01:31:37,600 --> 01:31:38,840
Yeah.

1108
01:31:38,840 --> 01:31:47,200
So I think what she's gonna do is she's gonna pop it in and like have it playing through

1109
01:31:47,200 --> 01:31:53,780
on like super high speed to get through all that footage.

1110
01:31:53,780 --> 01:32:01,040
And she's gonna ask the computer chip.

1111
01:32:01,040 --> 01:32:07,960
And she's gonna kind of like, Ike is gonna kind of like lay down on the floor, like sort

1112
01:32:07,960 --> 01:32:19,280
of like slumber party style, like at the computer, and is like, okay, so this is gonna be an

1113
01:32:19,280 --> 01:32:20,280
odd request.

1114
01:32:20,280 --> 01:32:31,400
We need to find suspicious information, probably about the board members of Wild Times.

1115
01:32:31,400 --> 01:32:41,840
So I just want you to help me collect as much of the footage that might involve them, anything

1116
01:32:41,840 --> 01:32:45,080
like their voices or their images.

1117
01:32:45,080 --> 01:32:51,960
So just if you could help me out, and we can go through this together.

1118
01:32:51,960 --> 01:33:02,200
I mean, I'll also scour it, but you might have facial recognition in your capabilities,

1119
01:33:02,200 --> 01:33:07,000
and maybe you can help me.

1120
01:33:07,000 --> 01:33:10,680
And yeah, it's really quite pressing.

1121
01:33:10,680 --> 01:33:22,560
So I'm prepared to go through this all day to find what we need.

1122
01:33:22,560 --> 01:33:28,960
The footage continues to speed forward.

1123
01:33:28,960 --> 01:33:34,700
You see sewers, tall grass.

1124
01:33:34,700 --> 01:33:41,880
You see this rat attacking other smaller creatures eating, hanging out with other rats.

1125
01:33:41,880 --> 01:33:45,720
Can I be a real pain in your ass?

1126
01:33:45,720 --> 01:33:57,320
And interject that as it's going through the mundane footage, Ike is also like, so I know

1127
01:33:57,320 --> 01:34:06,400
you don't know them personally, but Dr. Theriak held my hand last night.

1128
01:34:06,400 --> 01:34:13,360
And I think part of it was that I was just very stressed, and they were probably just

1129
01:34:13,360 --> 01:34:17,080
trying to make me feel better.

1130
01:34:17,080 --> 01:34:20,960
But I don't know.

1131
01:34:20,960 --> 01:34:22,920
Maybe.

1132
01:34:22,920 --> 01:34:30,960
Well, I don't know, we have more important things to do right now than worry about that.

1133
01:34:30,960 --> 01:34:36,880
But I just I never held anyone's hand like that before.

1134
01:34:36,880 --> 01:34:40,240
So maybe it's something.

1135
01:34:40,240 --> 01:34:42,560
I don't know.

1136
01:34:42,560 --> 01:34:46,440
I would ask you what you think, but you're focused on something else.

1137
01:34:46,440 --> 01:34:53,360
I just kind of wanted to talk about it.

1138
01:34:53,360 --> 01:34:56,800
Anyway, back to work.

1139
01:34:56,800 --> 01:34:57,800
Sorry.

1140
01:34:57,800 --> 01:35:13,040
As you finish off and you say you're sorry, the video stops and pauses.

1141
01:35:13,040 --> 01:35:20,360
There's these scan lines, so you can't quite tell where the video has stopped.

1142
01:35:20,360 --> 01:35:24,480
But it has pause and there is a little play button.

1143
01:35:24,480 --> 01:35:28,080
Oh, OK.

1144
01:35:28,080 --> 01:35:36,300
Why hit play?

1145
01:35:36,300 --> 01:35:39,200
The camera shows a lab.

1146
01:35:39,200 --> 01:35:43,720
The lights are low and the sound is all crackled and broken.

1147
01:35:43,720 --> 01:35:54,000
You see Lin, his little Chihuahua face, smiles at the camera as he pulls a small, thin mechanical

1148
01:35:54,000 --> 01:35:57,040
device back.

1149
01:35:57,040 --> 01:36:10,080
You get the impression that he's freshly installed this rat with this camera.

1150
01:36:10,080 --> 01:36:22,380
A Shirin that resembles an earthworm walks up behind him into frame.

1151
01:36:22,380 --> 01:36:32,040
They look kind of disgusted at the scene, but then through the static crackles.

1152
01:36:32,040 --> 01:36:33,040
Is this it?

1153
01:36:33,040 --> 01:36:36,040
No, no, no, no, no.

1154
01:36:36,040 --> 01:36:42,480
This is just for me to see the inner workings of the park from a smaller perspective.

1155
01:36:42,480 --> 01:36:49,320
This is purely just for my own scientific enjoyment.

1156
01:36:49,320 --> 01:36:51,600
I don't have long, Lin.

1157
01:36:51,600 --> 01:36:53,800
And you know I don't like it down here.

1158
01:36:53,800 --> 01:36:57,840
OK, fine, fine, fine.

1159
01:36:57,840 --> 01:37:03,900
Lin walks back and the sound dims a little, but you can still hear them.

1160
01:37:03,900 --> 01:37:09,440
They bend down and there's a sound of a cage getting pulled and opened.

1161
01:37:09,440 --> 01:37:16,840
It went about as well as I thought.

1162
01:37:16,840 --> 01:37:22,560
Some brains aren't meant to hold this amount of information or have any of these functions

1163
01:37:22,560 --> 01:37:24,160
that you want.

1164
01:37:24,160 --> 01:37:32,160
I tried using some of the park's AI, but it's way too advanced with the new upgrades.

1165
01:37:32,160 --> 01:37:39,280
And it just kept refusing to attach, so honestly I don't think this project will work.

1166
01:37:39,280 --> 01:37:49,920
And I don't really like the voice print.

1167
01:37:49,920 --> 01:37:52,160
Weeds me out a little.

1168
01:37:52,160 --> 01:37:59,480
But I would like to tell you about something that myself and Lorik have been working on.

1169
01:37:59,480 --> 01:38:03,840
They close the cage and they walk off.

1170
01:38:03,840 --> 01:38:10,880
The sound crackles and dims as it becomes indistinguishable from the room tone.

1171
01:38:10,880 --> 01:38:13,840
Have you hear from the cage?

1172
01:38:13,840 --> 01:38:16,900
I'm just a little guy.

1173
01:38:16,900 --> 01:38:23,000
And then a shh, shh, shh of a broom.

1174
01:38:23,000 --> 01:38:31,560
The video cuts to more footage of the under of the park.

1175
01:38:31,560 --> 01:38:44,040
And as it starts to speed up and re-resumes this almost inconsequential view of the park,

1176
01:38:44,040 --> 01:38:48,720
we leave this room.

1177
01:38:48,720 --> 01:38:53,320
And we leave our crew.

1178
01:38:53,320 --> 01:38:56,640
And we leave Raven's Roost.

1179
01:38:56,640 --> 01:39:02,080
And we see the park laid out before us.

1180
01:39:02,080 --> 01:39:14,520
In a Arctic section, a group of children are trying to get wrangled by an adult who is

1181
01:39:14,520 --> 01:39:17,060
trying to get everyone in line.

1182
01:39:17,060 --> 01:39:25,240
They're looking over this large... looks similar to a bear.

1183
01:39:25,240 --> 01:39:26,240
Multi-arms.

1184
01:39:26,240 --> 01:39:35,360
It seems more hunched over with this almost armoured barding around it.

1185
01:39:35,360 --> 01:39:47,480
We see, walking around the corner, a socialite looking android woman who is walking alongside

1186
01:39:47,480 --> 01:39:51,840
another android.

1187
01:39:51,840 --> 01:39:55,960
This other android they're walking with looks like a shiren.

1188
01:39:55,960 --> 01:40:05,140
If a shiren was made of metal, these metal mandibles, they have this uniform that has

1189
01:40:05,140 --> 01:40:08,880
the crest of the heath on them.

1190
01:40:08,880 --> 01:40:17,480
As Fede, who is the socialite woman, walks around with this person and looks over this

1191
01:40:17,480 --> 01:40:21,720
little Arctic cage.

1192
01:40:21,720 --> 01:40:28,200
So I was thinking that we could maybe put a few advertisements up in this area and then

1193
01:40:28,200 --> 01:40:36,280
going onto the main square we could have a few more little bits advertising and as people

1194
01:40:36,280 --> 01:40:42,760
leave and they go through the gateway we could say, sponsored by the Ulfhefnar, as I believe

1195
01:40:42,760 --> 01:40:48,760
that that might bring in quite a few people to you.

1196
01:40:48,760 --> 01:40:51,920
The shiren nods.

1197
01:40:51,920 --> 01:41:04,720
And Fede leans up against the separator between herself and the crowds and this large hulking

1198
01:41:04,720 --> 01:41:08,040
armoured creature.

1199
01:41:08,040 --> 01:41:17,160
And as she does, there's this little buzz of electricity and a tsh tsh tsh from around

1200
01:41:17,160 --> 01:41:28,480
the chamber and the separator falls down and she screams and falls into this pit.

1201
01:41:28,480 --> 01:41:37,700
And as she does she lands with a thump and the separator goes live again and this large

1202
01:41:37,700 --> 01:41:47,760
hulking creature turns and she tries to step away and walks over to the door, the feeding

1203
01:41:47,760 --> 01:41:54,920
chamber and starts to bang on it and she screams and as she does this large hulking bear charges

1204
01:41:54,920 --> 01:42:02,120
over to her and clamps its jaws down on her head.

1205
01:42:02,120 --> 01:42:06,240
And that is where we're going to leave today.

1206
01:42:06,240 --> 01:42:10,640
