1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:22,560
Change is not always this noticeable or this quick.

2
00:00:22,560 --> 00:00:29,720
Saga has certainly have unfavorable leaders before, evil ones even, depending on who you

3
00:00:29,720 --> 00:00:37,040
would ask, but money makes things move quick, and the new mayor has more than anyone within

4
00:00:37,040 --> 00:00:39,240
rocket distance.

5
00:00:39,240 --> 00:00:44,600
For the first few days, though, everyone who voted against just had a bad taste in their

6
00:00:44,600 --> 00:00:48,960
mouth, but kept going about their lives as usual.

7
00:00:48,960 --> 00:00:56,960
However, the construction of the first plate got greenlit and moved up, despite being controversial

8
00:00:56,960 --> 00:01:05,680
at best, downright detested at worst, at least on the south side of Articoria, where most

9
00:01:05,680 --> 00:01:09,560
of you spend most of your time.

10
00:01:09,560 --> 00:01:16,240
Sebastian, I would like to start with you.

11
00:01:16,240 --> 00:01:26,200
A meeting, well not just you, a meeting with you and Marek and Winston all together.

12
00:01:26,200 --> 00:01:35,320
There is a recording device in the center of the table, two actually, one recording

13
00:01:35,320 --> 00:01:44,600
the conversation of course, as per protocols, and one that plays an audio.

14
00:01:44,600 --> 00:01:48,920
Thank you for joining us for this very special ASNC broadcast.

15
00:01:48,920 --> 00:01:53,320
A celebration today as the people known as the Ifrit of the planet Erem are welcomed

16
00:01:53,320 --> 00:01:56,200
into the galactic community at large.

17
00:01:56,200 --> 00:02:01,360
On the orbiting station Sermay, built for the Ifrit for this express purpose, food and

18
00:02:01,360 --> 00:02:06,960
culture were shared amongst various dignitaries from as close as Saga to as far as Janen.

19
00:02:06,960 --> 00:02:12,480
Jor Aten, a representative of the planet Kavah stated that the Ifrit are an inviting culture

20
00:02:12,480 --> 00:02:15,480
and familial in mindset.

21
00:02:15,480 --> 00:02:20,440
Their planet Erem is a mostly volcanic surface, littered with towns and valleys built into

22
00:02:20,440 --> 00:02:23,960
caldera and full of natural resources.

23
00:02:23,960 --> 00:02:28,320
Once the grand invitational is completed, Sermay will be opened up to commercial and

24
00:02:28,320 --> 00:02:32,920
private travel, although the planet itself has a strict heat advisory.

25
00:02:32,920 --> 00:02:38,240
Stay tuned for more grand galactic news here on the Atomless Sea News Corporation.

26
00:02:38,240 --> 00:02:44,440
Marek clicks off the recording.

27
00:02:44,440 --> 00:02:52,200
So it's just a bit of a promotion.

28
00:02:52,200 --> 00:02:57,200
We're trying to get this travel up.

29
00:02:57,200 --> 00:02:58,200
It works both ways.

30
00:02:58,200 --> 00:03:00,520
You know, we have great people come into Saga.

31
00:03:00,520 --> 00:03:08,900
We want Saga, you know, we want to make travel between our planets, you know, really accessible

32
00:03:08,900 --> 00:03:09,900
and interesting.

33
00:03:09,900 --> 00:03:12,340
And I'm sure you understand it.

34
00:03:12,340 --> 00:03:15,600
We would just love if you could incorporate this somehow, you know, just as like a little

35
00:03:15,600 --> 00:03:25,040
advert somewhere within the video.

36
00:03:25,040 --> 00:03:31,040
This is this is this is like, like nothing to do with the with the film.

37
00:03:31,040 --> 00:03:32,440
You've seen the script.

38
00:03:32,440 --> 00:03:33,600
That's what you signed off on.

39
00:03:33,600 --> 00:03:39,440
This is, you know, like the only other planet is is Nert Nuan.

40
00:03:39,440 --> 00:03:49,280
We've had to scale all that back to I believe my client's intention with this response is

41
00:03:49,280 --> 00:03:51,840
it will be difficult, but not impossible.

42
00:03:51,840 --> 00:03:58,480
We might need a little bit extra time if you can afford it to incorporate, you know, this

43
00:03:58,480 --> 00:04:02,000
new information to the current timeline.

44
00:04:02,000 --> 00:04:08,320
Oh, well, you know, Sebastian, I understand.

45
00:04:08,320 --> 00:04:12,140
You know, this is I get that you're an artist.

46
00:04:12,140 --> 00:04:14,240
You need time to work.

47
00:04:14,240 --> 00:04:21,480
And you know, we are on a time crunch, but hell, I'll give you I'll give you an extra

48
00:04:21,480 --> 00:04:22,480
week.

49
00:04:22,480 --> 00:04:23,480
You know what?

50
00:04:23,480 --> 00:04:24,480
Two weeks.

51
00:04:24,480 --> 00:04:29,320
You've been so good and so collaborative and so understanding with this this project.

52
00:04:29,320 --> 00:04:31,200
So I appreciate you.

53
00:04:31,200 --> 00:04:34,320
Don't don't even worry about it.

54
00:04:34,320 --> 00:04:39,320
We can handle this, Sebastian.

55
00:04:39,320 --> 00:04:45,960
OK, we can we can we can figure it out.

56
00:04:45,960 --> 00:04:49,720
We figure out how we can how we can put that in.

57
00:04:49,720 --> 00:04:52,120
God, a team player again.

58
00:04:52,120 --> 00:04:53,120
Always.

59
00:04:53,120 --> 00:04:54,120
It's a joy.

60
00:04:54,120 --> 00:04:55,120
It's a joy to work with you.

61
00:04:55,120 --> 00:04:56,120
I can't wait.

62
00:04:56,120 --> 00:04:57,120
You know what?

63
00:04:57,120 --> 00:04:59,000
I hope after this you keep my number.

64
00:04:59,000 --> 00:05:02,840
We could green light so many other projects of yours in the future.

65
00:05:02,840 --> 00:05:05,680
We're going to have a long, a long relationship.

66
00:05:05,680 --> 00:05:11,280
You and I, Merrick, if if we could, if the meeting is over, if Sebastian and I might

67
00:05:11,280 --> 00:05:12,280
have the room.

68
00:05:12,280 --> 00:05:18,640
Oh, yeah, I don't have another meeting in here for another forty five.

69
00:05:18,640 --> 00:05:19,880
Go ahead.

70
00:05:19,880 --> 00:05:20,880
Take the space.

71
00:05:20,880 --> 00:05:26,480
I need a liquid lunch anyway.

72
00:05:26,480 --> 00:05:31,320
And he is going to walk out and head down the hall.

73
00:05:31,320 --> 00:05:32,320
Does he take?

74
00:05:32,320 --> 00:05:34,640
Does he take any of the recording devices with him?

75
00:05:34,640 --> 00:05:35,640
No.

76
00:05:35,640 --> 00:05:36,640
OK.

77
00:05:36,640 --> 00:05:43,880
I am going to.

78
00:05:43,880 --> 00:05:44,880
Motion to Sebastian.

79
00:05:44,880 --> 00:05:55,880
So be quiet for a sec as I reach over and disable any recording device.

80
00:05:55,880 --> 00:05:57,920
Now that was a bunch of hooey.

81
00:05:57,920 --> 00:05:59,720
It just doesn't that doesn't make it.

82
00:05:59,720 --> 00:06:00,720
How are we supposed to?

83
00:06:00,720 --> 00:06:03,120
Are we supposed to fit in the documentary section?

84
00:06:03,120 --> 00:06:06,080
Are we supposed to be putting it in the in the fiction area?

85
00:06:06,080 --> 00:06:13,360
I might have I might have a bit of an idea and you can tell me to shove off if this

86
00:06:13,360 --> 00:06:16,680
does not seem feasible to you.

87
00:06:16,680 --> 00:06:22,920
But I believe we've been pushed in a certain direction with your film and I do not agree

88
00:06:22,920 --> 00:06:25,280
with it at all.

89
00:06:25,280 --> 00:06:35,320
What would you say to using our beneficiaries money and time to create two movies, one that

90
00:06:35,320 --> 00:06:42,920
they are asking for and one that not only highlights the story of saga, but also the

91
00:06:42,920 --> 00:06:51,680
future that said on Unmentioned is pushing on to the people of Saga.

92
00:06:51,680 --> 00:07:00,640
Why can't we just make the movie that I want to make, Winston?

93
00:07:00,640 --> 00:07:02,640
I understand, Sebastian.

94
00:07:02,640 --> 00:07:11,360
It's been hard with all of the updates and the schedules and new deadlines and.

95
00:07:11,360 --> 00:07:15,360
But they've paid for it.

96
00:07:15,360 --> 00:07:20,240
And there might be a reason for that.

97
00:07:20,240 --> 00:07:25,240
I'm not quite sure, but something doesn't feel that could be the pedals.

98
00:07:25,240 --> 00:07:30,440
We, you know, their own agendas.

99
00:07:30,440 --> 00:07:31,800
That's what's weird about it.

100
00:07:31,800 --> 00:07:32,800
That's what they're doing.

101
00:07:32,800 --> 00:07:33,800
This isn't.

102
00:07:33,800 --> 00:07:39,080
Listen, if we start making another movie, they're going to know that and then we're

103
00:07:39,080 --> 00:07:40,080
going to be your lawyer.

104
00:07:40,080 --> 00:07:42,360
We're going to be in loads of legal trouble.

105
00:07:42,360 --> 00:07:45,760
Like I can't handle that.

106
00:07:45,760 --> 00:07:51,680
Let me navigate all of the legal troubles here.

107
00:07:51,680 --> 00:08:01,320
I will help you make your movie, your movie, the one that you set out to tell.

108
00:08:01,320 --> 00:08:05,560
And I can do all the maneuver and make sure that you can use all of the money that has

109
00:08:05,560 --> 00:08:09,080
been given to you, the blank check, right?

110
00:08:09,080 --> 00:08:11,320
Let me handle all of that.

111
00:08:11,320 --> 00:08:18,080
I want to make sure that you are your artistic vision and the important story that we are

112
00:08:18,080 --> 00:08:22,200
telling here is preserved.

113
00:08:22,200 --> 00:08:31,280
Can you promise me that we're not going to get arrested?

114
00:08:31,280 --> 00:08:37,560
We are not going to get arrested for anything that revolves around this now.

115
00:08:37,560 --> 00:08:43,960
And with grist, maybe, but that's besides the point.

116
00:08:43,960 --> 00:08:44,960
Fuck it.

117
00:08:44,960 --> 00:08:46,760
Gorill filmmaking.

118
00:08:46,760 --> 00:08:47,760
We can do two films.

119
00:08:47,760 --> 00:08:48,760
That's fine.

120
00:08:48,760 --> 00:08:51,480
We can make whatever they want.

121
00:08:51,480 --> 00:08:57,560
And I'm sure I have an earlier draft of my script.

122
00:08:57,560 --> 00:09:04,240
All we need to make sure is that anything that we buy and purchase for the film that

123
00:09:04,240 --> 00:09:10,880
you want to make is also in turn used for the film that said a unmentioned wants you

124
00:09:10,880 --> 00:09:11,880
to make.

125
00:09:11,880 --> 00:09:12,880
Okay.

126
00:09:12,880 --> 00:09:15,920
Yeah, we can, we can, we can, we can make that work.

127
00:09:15,920 --> 00:09:19,480
I can, I can do that.

128
00:09:19,480 --> 00:09:24,200
This gives, I believe this gives us a bit of a advantage because anyone who's involved

129
00:09:24,200 --> 00:09:30,520
in the film that said unmentioned wants won't know anything about the film that we're making.

130
00:09:30,520 --> 00:09:35,360
But my name is still on it.

131
00:09:35,360 --> 00:09:41,520
My name is still, it's, it's still going to be in big bright lights when we give them

132
00:09:41,520 --> 00:09:43,080
what they want.

133
00:09:43,080 --> 00:09:45,880
This is true.

134
00:09:45,880 --> 00:09:51,720
This movie is how I was supposed to be remembered, but now I'm going to be remembered for theirs.

135
00:09:51,720 --> 00:09:54,640
Unfortunately, I don't see any way around that.

136
00:09:54,640 --> 00:09:57,280
Like I still, they know the pitch.

137
00:09:57,280 --> 00:10:03,800
I still have to tell my granddad story, but it's going to be with Zetta Unmentioned in

138
00:10:03,800 --> 00:10:07,160
the title.

139
00:10:07,160 --> 00:10:11,000
I'm sorry about that.

140
00:10:11,000 --> 00:10:19,560
But we can't know for sure if this is how you'll be remembered.

141
00:10:19,560 --> 00:10:26,960
Let's say we make two really, really good movies, but one of them, one of them is, has

142
00:10:26,960 --> 00:10:29,760
your soul in it.

143
00:10:29,760 --> 00:10:37,280
And just hope that people in the future will realize who Sebastian really is.

144
00:10:37,280 --> 00:10:42,920
Now that's just me being romantic about the future and whatnot, but I really, I really

145
00:10:42,920 --> 00:10:49,440
do believe you have a finger on the pulse of saga.

146
00:10:49,440 --> 00:10:50,440
Let me help you.

147
00:10:50,440 --> 00:10:54,360
I would really like it if you could.

148
00:10:54,360 --> 00:10:55,640
Great.

149
00:10:55,640 --> 00:11:01,000
Now for the record, and we need to, for the purposes of this, and I point over to the

150
00:11:01,000 --> 00:11:07,460
recording device for, for them who would be listening, we need to come up with some sort

151
00:11:07,460 --> 00:11:12,240
of excuse or want some sort of show, some sort of play that where we're actually talking

152
00:11:12,240 --> 00:11:19,400
about how to incorporate this commercial into your film.

153
00:11:19,400 --> 00:11:23,200
I'm sure we can, we can figure that out.

154
00:11:23,200 --> 00:11:28,920
We do have about 40 minutes.

155
00:11:28,920 --> 00:11:36,920
Nim, on this particular day, the last time that we all met, your presence was brought

156
00:11:36,920 --> 00:11:44,600
a lot more attention to than you had previously had used to since you and Grist came to saga.

157
00:11:44,600 --> 00:11:50,680
Surprisingly, possibly, that has not really been all that big a deal.

158
00:11:50,680 --> 00:11:58,160
In fact, there have been quite a few people around town who come to check up on you, say

159
00:11:58,160 --> 00:12:01,560
hi when they see you walking around the streets.

160
00:12:01,560 --> 00:12:11,800
Most notably, Jim and Kit from Comfort Cups as well, as well as Bernie and Calico from

161
00:12:11,800 --> 00:12:13,280
the Lodge.

162
00:12:13,280 --> 00:12:19,480
They, they like to come up and ask you how your day was.

163
00:12:19,480 --> 00:12:25,480
They ask if you need anything, sometimes ask you a small favor even.

164
00:12:25,480 --> 00:12:35,440
And this afternoon, while Grist is still at work, probably towards the end of day, Kit

165
00:12:35,440 --> 00:12:44,120
will come out and she sort of looks more tired than usual, a little stressed.

166
00:12:44,120 --> 00:12:54,560
She's old in years, so it's not terribly unsurprising, but the last few weeks just seemed a little

167
00:12:54,560 --> 00:12:56,120
more tired.

168
00:12:56,120 --> 00:13:04,240
And as you walk past the shop, she sort of comes out, takes a seat on the bench and waves

169
00:13:04,240 --> 00:13:06,240
you over.

170
00:13:06,240 --> 00:13:08,240
Hello.

171
00:13:08,240 --> 00:13:10,240
Hi.

172
00:13:10,240 --> 00:13:24,240
This is a big task to ask you, and I'm sorry, but do you have maybe an hour to spare?

173
00:13:24,240 --> 00:13:26,240
Yes, I do.

174
00:13:26,240 --> 00:13:29,240
Oh, that's nice.

175
00:13:29,240 --> 00:13:41,720
Well, it's just that we've got delivery up across town and, well, I don't feel I have

176
00:13:41,720 --> 00:13:44,800
the energy to do it today.

177
00:13:44,800 --> 00:13:48,240
I don't mind doing it for you, if that's what you're asking.

178
00:13:48,240 --> 00:13:52,960
That would be very, very nice of you.

179
00:13:52,960 --> 00:13:56,080
Very lovely.

180
00:13:56,080 --> 00:13:59,160
It's been nice having you here.

181
00:13:59,160 --> 00:14:07,160
Of course, people up that way, they tend to tip usually, so keep it.

182
00:14:07,160 --> 00:14:10,280
That's obviously yours.

183
00:14:10,280 --> 00:14:13,440
Okay.

184
00:14:13,440 --> 00:14:22,000
And she hands you a bag of piping hot soups.

185
00:14:22,000 --> 00:14:30,440
And you hear just behind her inside the shop, which is still busy.

186
00:14:30,440 --> 00:14:38,760
Kit has it under control, it seems, but you can hear the television monitor inside the

187
00:14:38,760 --> 00:14:47,000
store kind of blaring with a couple of the adverts that we've already heard before going

188
00:14:47,000 --> 00:14:48,680
on cycle.

189
00:14:48,680 --> 00:14:55,160
And after a moment, as you're having this conversation, you hear Kit grab a clicker

190
00:14:55,160 --> 00:15:07,320
and turn it off and chuck it to the floor and continue serving, continue doing business.

191
00:15:07,320 --> 00:15:11,960
She hands you the bag and thanks you again and again.

192
00:15:11,960 --> 00:15:20,120
The address ticket on the bag is an office building in the city proper.

193
00:15:20,120 --> 00:15:26,200
It's where Grist works, surprisingly.

194
00:15:26,200 --> 00:15:29,200
You've been there, so you know it, at least.

195
00:15:29,200 --> 00:15:40,800
Before I leave, I look at Kit one more time and I'm, are you feeling okay?

196
00:15:40,800 --> 00:15:45,040
No, I'm doing just fine.

197
00:15:45,040 --> 00:15:56,960
It's just hard days work and stress people are so, people get scared.

198
00:15:56,960 --> 00:16:04,640
And scared of what, if you don't mind me asking?

199
00:16:04,640 --> 00:16:06,080
Change.

200
00:16:06,080 --> 00:16:08,280
And the future.

201
00:16:08,280 --> 00:16:14,000
Well, that's just hard.

202
00:16:14,000 --> 00:16:26,840
And, well, this is my town and it's hard not to absorb all of that.

203
00:16:26,840 --> 00:16:33,760
Feeding people is like loving them, you know, so.

204
00:16:33,760 --> 00:16:37,400
I understand why.

205
00:16:37,400 --> 00:16:45,920
It kind of comes with loving something very deeply.

206
00:16:45,920 --> 00:16:52,840
So I understand and I hope that things get easier for you.

207
00:16:52,840 --> 00:16:59,080
Well, that of, oh, this helped quite a great deal already.

208
00:16:59,080 --> 00:17:09,400
And it's just, it's very nice to say it out loud anyway.

209
00:17:09,400 --> 00:17:13,160
So thank you.

210
00:17:13,160 --> 00:17:14,920
Of course.

211
00:17:14,920 --> 00:17:20,080
I'm going to turn around and walk out of the shop.

212
00:17:20,080 --> 00:17:26,920
Before Nim would arrive, Grist, I kind of want to give you the opportunity to say what

213
00:17:26,920 --> 00:17:28,880
job in the building you're doing today.

214
00:17:28,880 --> 00:17:32,560
I feel like you don't always do the same thing.

215
00:17:32,560 --> 00:17:34,840
Yes, I think I'm painting this time.

216
00:17:34,840 --> 00:17:38,880
I think there's like a conference room or something that's getting redone with this

217
00:17:38,880 --> 00:17:46,960
like new sheen of paint and each gallon probably is like 10 times the cost of my hourly wage.

218
00:17:46,960 --> 00:17:51,280
So I'm just sort of like up on a ladder because this is a real tall conference room, even

219
00:17:51,280 --> 00:17:52,280
for me.

220
00:17:52,280 --> 00:17:58,440
So I'm just sort of like moving the roller all the way up, all the way up.

221
00:17:58,440 --> 00:18:06,320
So as you are rolling the paint and before Nim arrives at the building for any of this,

222
00:18:06,320 --> 00:18:13,720
like just on like the cusp of closing time, as you can hear, like some of the big overhead

223
00:18:13,720 --> 00:18:25,680
lighting like kind of shuts down down each hall, there is a tall, lanky human gentleman

224
00:18:25,680 --> 00:18:30,720
who you've seen around here before, certainly in a suit.

225
00:18:30,720 --> 00:18:31,880
He's well dressed.

226
00:18:31,880 --> 00:18:40,160
He's very well kept and he walks by in kind of a huff.

227
00:18:40,160 --> 00:18:47,280
And instead of his usual corporate posture has sort of a like slink to him.

228
00:18:47,280 --> 00:18:55,360
It looks like he is sneaking about and trying not to be seen.

229
00:18:55,360 --> 00:19:01,800
He walks past the room that you're painting in and doesn't notice you, but is looking

230
00:19:01,800 --> 00:19:07,440
nervous back and forth as he turns the corner quickly.

231
00:19:07,440 --> 00:19:10,000
Can I help you, mister?

232
00:19:10,000 --> 00:19:17,920
Stops and backtracks, looks in the window.

233
00:19:17,920 --> 00:19:24,040
Don't speak to me and continues hobbling away.

234
00:19:24,040 --> 00:19:26,760
It's after hours in this section of the building.

235
00:19:26,760 --> 00:19:31,840
You're not supposed to be here.

236
00:19:31,840 --> 00:19:36,560
He pulls himself straight up.

237
00:19:36,560 --> 00:19:42,000
Look, I'm sorry.

238
00:19:42,000 --> 00:19:46,480
I do in fact work here and I have some place to be.

239
00:19:46,480 --> 00:19:50,820
I just was in a hurry.

240
00:19:50,820 --> 00:19:52,720
My apologies.

241
00:19:52,720 --> 00:20:00,600
Unfortunately, sir, I'm under some pretty specific instructions to not let anyone through

242
00:20:00,600 --> 00:20:01,600
these areas.

243
00:20:01,600 --> 00:20:05,680
There's wet paint all over the place and they're closing this area down early.

244
00:20:05,680 --> 00:20:12,200
I mean, my ass is on the line if anyone treks through here.

245
00:20:12,200 --> 00:20:24,120
This facial expression turns to a little bit of a panic.

246
00:20:24,120 --> 00:20:33,960
That's nice and I appreciate you warning me and all.

247
00:20:33,960 --> 00:20:34,960
Who are you again?

248
00:20:34,960 --> 00:20:35,960
I'm no one.

249
00:20:35,960 --> 00:20:36,960
I'm just a painter.

250
00:20:36,960 --> 00:20:45,560
All right.

251
00:20:45,560 --> 00:20:47,920
And you said there's paint this way.

252
00:20:47,920 --> 00:20:49,920
Let's paint.

253
00:20:49,920 --> 00:20:54,320
Yes, I painted the walls in the hall.

254
00:20:54,320 --> 00:20:55,560
They are heading down.

255
00:20:55,560 --> 00:20:58,600
I painted the ceiling, parts of the floor.

256
00:20:58,600 --> 00:21:02,240
Weirdly enough, they wanted me to paint the floor.

257
00:21:02,240 --> 00:21:09,080
He doesn't even come inside the room, just leans up against the glass and as he gets

258
00:21:09,080 --> 00:21:21,160
closer, this is like a handsome young looking dude, but he's looking pretty strained, like

259
00:21:21,160 --> 00:21:31,320
some visible signs of stress and wear around the eyes, cracked lips, very, very much more

260
00:21:31,320 --> 00:21:32,800
visible up close.

261
00:21:32,800 --> 00:21:49,280
And he leans against the door, says, look, if you just don't tell anyone, I won't go

262
00:21:49,280 --> 00:21:58,480
downstairs and ask them to fire you for yelling at employees of this office.

263
00:21:58,480 --> 00:22:01,280
Understood, sir.

264
00:22:01,280 --> 00:22:06,640
And based on the direction he's headed, can I tell what area of the building he's going

265
00:22:06,640 --> 00:22:07,640
to?

266
00:22:07,640 --> 00:22:08,640
Absolutely.

267
00:22:08,640 --> 00:22:09,640
What department?

268
00:22:09,640 --> 00:22:13,000
He's headed towards the research and development wing.

269
00:22:13,000 --> 00:22:14,000
Okay.

270
00:22:14,000 --> 00:22:17,840
And just because I've seen him around a few times, have I glimpsed his name?

271
00:22:17,840 --> 00:22:20,280
If he wears a tag where people have addressed him in the hallway.

272
00:22:20,280 --> 00:22:24,400
Yes, especially when he leans up close and you see it there.

273
00:22:24,400 --> 00:22:27,400
His name is Merrick.

274
00:22:27,400 --> 00:22:30,800
Okay.

275
00:22:30,800 --> 00:22:38,320
Then Grist will put, still carrying the roller, gets down from the ladder and approaches this

276
00:22:38,320 --> 00:22:40,720
dude by the door, by the glass.

277
00:22:40,720 --> 00:22:45,040
She actually, if the door is closed, just slides it open or opens it further.

278
00:22:45,040 --> 00:22:49,200
So she's kind of like towering a little bit over the sky.

279
00:22:49,200 --> 00:22:53,320
Her head, I think, even bumps into the top part of the door frame.

280
00:22:53,320 --> 00:22:57,840
So she has to stoop a little to get someone to look down at this person.

281
00:22:57,840 --> 00:23:03,760
Of course, my apologies for getting in your way.

282
00:23:03,760 --> 00:23:05,880
Mind the wet floor.

283
00:23:05,880 --> 00:23:13,640
And she kind of flicks the paintbrush casually and tries to land a few specks on his suit.

284
00:23:13,640 --> 00:23:15,440
You flick this paintbrush.

285
00:23:15,440 --> 00:23:18,520
It's like a full paint roller.

286
00:23:18,520 --> 00:23:27,400
And so there is just across his suit and tie and a little bit up onto his chin is this

287
00:23:27,400 --> 00:23:33,360
like eggshell paint color.

288
00:23:33,360 --> 00:23:36,240
Or actually, what color was it?

289
00:23:36,240 --> 00:23:38,120
I think it's just like gold.

290
00:23:38,120 --> 00:23:43,640
Like whatever, interior director is like, gold walls, gold ceiling.

291
00:23:43,640 --> 00:23:44,640
Yes.

292
00:23:44,640 --> 00:23:45,640
Money.

293
00:23:45,640 --> 00:23:47,640
And it's like real actual molten gold.

294
00:23:47,640 --> 00:23:49,640
Money and wealth.

295
00:23:49,640 --> 00:23:50,640
Yes.

296
00:23:50,640 --> 00:23:51,640
Okay.

297
00:23:51,640 --> 00:23:56,520
Gold, sparkly, glittery gentleman.

298
00:23:56,520 --> 00:24:08,240
But he just like tries and restrains the seed that you see want to like come out.

299
00:24:08,240 --> 00:24:17,920
And he backs away, nods and heads the way he was headed.

300
00:24:17,920 --> 00:24:22,020
And Mr. Merrick, mind the sign next time.

301
00:24:22,020 --> 00:24:25,760
And Gris taps like a sign that had been taped up with blue painter's tape that says wet

302
00:24:25,760 --> 00:24:26,760
paint.

303
00:24:26,760 --> 00:24:36,240
And he like flicks it and continues on his way.

304
00:24:36,240 --> 00:24:44,960
Just a few floors down in this megacorp building.

305
00:24:44,960 --> 00:24:50,480
I imagine that Apex...

306
00:24:50,480 --> 00:24:58,600
You're brought here with Switch, who led you.

307
00:24:58,600 --> 00:25:04,740
And right about at the tail end of those 45 minutes that Sebastian and Winston are having

308
00:25:04,740 --> 00:25:11,240
their meeting is when the regular nine to fives kind of clock out of this corporate

309
00:25:11,240 --> 00:25:13,600
building and go home.

310
00:25:13,600 --> 00:25:20,320
There's still a skeleton crew and some offices scattered around are still open.

311
00:25:20,320 --> 00:25:23,480
But it's a lot quieter, a lot emptier.

312
00:25:23,480 --> 00:25:36,840
And Switch kind of tugs on your cloak and leads you through the halls where the surveillance

313
00:25:36,840 --> 00:25:38,920
cameras aren't.

314
00:25:38,920 --> 00:25:47,160
Of course, it's a little bit easier for Switch, who's quite small, to scamp and slither about

315
00:25:47,160 --> 00:25:50,600
between those shadows and between those cameras.

316
00:25:50,600 --> 00:25:58,040
But come on, it's this way.

317
00:25:58,040 --> 00:26:04,480
You realize it's a little harder for me to move through the way you do, right?

318
00:26:04,480 --> 00:26:06,880
Ah, gee, yeah.

319
00:26:06,880 --> 00:26:10,400
Fine, hold on.

320
00:26:10,400 --> 00:26:20,400
And Apex goes into a deep squat and then you hear a popping sound along his back and spine.

321
00:26:20,400 --> 00:26:25,620
And then he goes into an almost feral all-fours.

322
00:26:25,620 --> 00:26:28,840
And then steam comes out through the teeth again.

323
00:26:28,840 --> 00:26:31,840
Okay, that's better.

324
00:26:31,840 --> 00:26:34,840
Whatever you say.

325
00:26:34,840 --> 00:26:51,440
And Apex just hops along a little anxiously down a hall, kind of tumbling through as you

326
00:26:51,440 --> 00:26:57,680
turn one corner into the research and development wing.

327
00:26:57,680 --> 00:27:01,960
This wing is almost fully shut down now.

328
00:27:01,960 --> 00:27:07,240
The lights are pretty much off in the halls, but there are some fluorescent lights coming

329
00:27:07,240 --> 00:27:09,840
from different rooms.

330
00:27:09,840 --> 00:27:12,440
There are rooms that are growing plant life.

331
00:27:12,440 --> 00:27:19,460
There are rooms that have laboratory equipment running around the clock.

332
00:27:19,460 --> 00:27:27,660
And as you turn, you turn just in time to see a sort of haggard-looking gentleman in

333
00:27:27,660 --> 00:27:36,920
a very nice suit come into one room on a glass door and slam it in the back of him.

334
00:27:36,920 --> 00:27:39,120
What does he look like?

335
00:27:39,120 --> 00:27:45,440
Human, scruffy, brown hair, tall, nice suit.

336
00:27:45,440 --> 00:27:50,440
He's covered in white, sorry, he's covered in gold paint all over his face and one arm.

337
00:27:50,440 --> 00:27:51,920
Have I met him before?

338
00:27:51,920 --> 00:27:54,440
No, I don't think you have.

339
00:27:54,440 --> 00:27:55,440
Okay.

340
00:27:55,440 --> 00:27:56,560
I don't believe so.

341
00:27:56,560 --> 00:28:03,920
Apex is going to do that kind of unnerving rise when a bear goes from all fours to their

342
00:28:03,920 --> 00:28:04,920
hind legs.

343
00:28:04,920 --> 00:28:09,440
So what have you been working on here?

344
00:28:09,440 --> 00:28:11,520
Me, nothing.

345
00:28:11,520 --> 00:28:12,720
I don't work here.

346
00:28:12,720 --> 00:28:19,220
I just thought you might be interested in seeing this because it seems pretty fishy.

347
00:28:19,220 --> 00:28:24,120
And also, maybe also might be good for your research.

348
00:28:24,120 --> 00:28:26,720
Maybe you want it for yourself.

349
00:28:26,720 --> 00:28:27,720
I don't know.

350
00:28:27,720 --> 00:28:30,720
You did a good job, Switch.

351
00:28:30,720 --> 00:28:34,520
I'm gonna pat him on the head.

352
00:28:34,520 --> 00:28:35,520
Thanks.

353
00:28:35,520 --> 00:28:38,560
Let's see where this goes.

354
00:28:38,560 --> 00:28:45,420
And there's almost like the steam comes out again, but it's that moment of like someone

355
00:28:45,420 --> 00:28:52,360
breathing out on an icy night, but they're panting because they're excited about something.

356
00:28:52,360 --> 00:29:03,520
And he kind of watches to see if the man does anything more suspicious than he would consider.

357
00:29:03,520 --> 00:29:06,120
You go like up to that window so that you could see in.

358
00:29:06,120 --> 00:29:07,120
100%.

359
00:29:07,120 --> 00:29:14,880
So inside, there's like a botany lab, it looks like.

360
00:29:14,880 --> 00:29:23,800
There are plants and other tubes and things that have like liquid coming and funneling

361
00:29:23,800 --> 00:29:30,280
into these devices where they're then bubbling going into other devices.

362
00:29:30,280 --> 00:29:37,160
There are computers making so many different measurements and noises at the same time.

363
00:29:37,160 --> 00:29:39,600
And then there is a freezer.

364
00:29:39,600 --> 00:29:43,000
And you see the gentleman like go back to the freezer.

365
00:29:43,000 --> 00:29:52,840
Turn it up, reach far into the back and he grabs a file, closes it, takes one more look.

366
00:29:52,840 --> 00:30:01,480
Do you make yourself not seen or do you allow him to turn and see you when he checks his

367
00:30:01,480 --> 00:30:02,480
surroundings?

368
00:30:02,480 --> 00:30:05,960
I don't want to have to kill someone, so I'm going to hide.

369
00:30:05,960 --> 00:30:06,960
Okay.

370
00:30:06,960 --> 00:30:10,040
He turns around, you dodge out of the way.

371
00:30:10,040 --> 00:30:17,200
He breathes a sigh of relief as he turned back, you see him knock the vial back.

372
00:30:17,200 --> 00:30:22,920
Close it, stuffs it into an inside shirt pocket.

373
00:30:22,920 --> 00:30:31,400
And you see him just sort of brushes himself off, stands up tall.

374
00:30:31,400 --> 00:30:36,480
He looks better, brighter.

375
00:30:36,480 --> 00:30:48,760
And then he looks pissed, looks down at this swath of paint on his hands and his rub some

376
00:30:48,760 --> 00:30:51,560
of it off his face.

377
00:30:51,560 --> 00:30:56,000
Fuming, pacing.

378
00:30:56,000 --> 00:31:02,560
He takes out a phone, first picks it up, calls Winston.

379
00:31:02,560 --> 00:31:11,720
Winston, you and Sebastian have probably just left maybe when this call goes through.

380
00:31:11,720 --> 00:31:19,320
If we're heading out of the offices, I'll pick it up and, uh, Sebastian, you go on ahead.

381
00:31:19,320 --> 00:31:20,480
I'm getting a-

382
00:31:20,480 --> 00:31:24,880
Sebastian is like fully jazzed now because now he has two films to make and he's like,

383
00:31:24,880 --> 00:31:25,880
right, yeah, so we can do this.

384
00:31:25,880 --> 00:31:26,880
And then he's like, you want to go there?

385
00:31:26,880 --> 00:31:27,880
Okay, yeah, sure.

386
00:31:27,880 --> 00:31:28,880
And then walks over there.

387
00:31:28,880 --> 00:31:31,880
And then we can do that.

388
00:31:31,880 --> 00:31:35,520
I'll pick, I'll answer it.

389
00:31:35,520 --> 00:31:36,520
Hello?

390
00:31:36,520 --> 00:31:42,320
Winston, I know that the artist is having a crisis, but can you please make sure that

391
00:31:42,320 --> 00:31:43,640
this goes off without a hitch?

392
00:31:43,640 --> 00:31:46,160
I need this to be perfect.

393
00:31:46,160 --> 00:31:48,840
I don't care what they want.

394
00:31:48,840 --> 00:31:51,280
I want it to be flawless.

395
00:31:51,280 --> 00:31:52,280
Okay.

396
00:31:52,280 --> 00:31:54,900
And we have a deadline.

397
00:31:54,900 --> 00:31:59,440
That two week extension I gave, it's going to be a 24 hour.

398
00:31:59,440 --> 00:32:00,440
Okay.

399
00:32:00,440 --> 00:32:01,440
Right.

400
00:32:01,440 --> 00:32:07,320
So why, why, if I might ask, sure, of course, but if I might ask, why is this so important

401
00:32:07,320 --> 00:32:08,320
to you?

402
00:32:08,320 --> 00:32:13,120
Because it's important to the people who pay me, Winston.

403
00:32:13,120 --> 00:32:14,600
And those are the people who pay you.

404
00:32:14,600 --> 00:32:15,600
I see.

405
00:32:15,600 --> 00:32:18,720
And you, you're not in any sort of danger.

406
00:32:18,720 --> 00:32:21,240
Blink twice.

407
00:32:21,240 --> 00:32:29,920
I don't, I don't know what has gotten into you, Winston.

408
00:32:29,920 --> 00:32:33,360
You are making quite a bit of money with this company.

409
00:32:33,360 --> 00:32:34,360
Of course.

410
00:32:34,360 --> 00:32:35,360
Of course.

411
00:32:35,360 --> 00:32:39,120
I just, I just want to make sure that we are both in the same level of understanding of

412
00:32:39,120 --> 00:32:40,120
each other.

413
00:32:40,120 --> 00:32:43,720
I'll make sure this happens.

414
00:32:43,720 --> 00:32:44,720
Thank you.

415
00:32:44,720 --> 00:32:45,720
Thank you.

416
00:32:45,720 --> 00:32:48,720
He hangs up.

417
00:32:48,720 --> 00:32:53,240
I, I, I wait for, for, um, Merrick to hang up.

418
00:32:53,240 --> 00:32:58,240
I close my phone, prick, and put the phone back into my pocket.

419
00:32:58,240 --> 00:33:05,120
He's going to turn to start to head out of the door.

420
00:33:05,120 --> 00:33:11,880
I look at Switch and very quietly say, do you think he's going to be a problem?

421
00:33:11,880 --> 00:33:14,520
I think he might be a problem.

422
00:33:14,520 --> 00:33:16,520
Um, already for-

423
00:33:16,520 --> 00:33:22,080
Is it worth temporarily neutralizing him now?

424
00:33:22,080 --> 00:33:28,600
Um, maybe temporarily, just so that we could get in there.

425
00:33:28,600 --> 00:33:39,280
Because I feel like he's the kind of guy that pushes big red buttons and stuff.

426
00:33:39,280 --> 00:33:45,760
And the normally kind of red eyes go yellow.

427
00:33:45,760 --> 00:33:53,040
Apex taps the back of his helmet, so then it starts dematerializing.

428
00:33:53,040 --> 00:34:02,880
And you see what looks to be a black and gray furred wolf's head, uh, with silver plating

429
00:34:02,880 --> 00:34:09,080
on the teeth and his jaw, like unhinges a little bit.

430
00:34:09,080 --> 00:34:14,380
Um, and as the man is moving, I want to use dazzling outburst.

431
00:34:14,380 --> 00:34:20,320
So I'm going to spend two MP.

432
00:34:20,320 --> 00:34:21,320
And oh, actually, you know what?

433
00:34:21,320 --> 00:34:22,320
Yeah, yeah, yeah.

434
00:34:22,320 --> 00:34:25,200
I'm going to use dazzling outburst.

435
00:34:25,200 --> 00:34:31,880
So essentially like it is making a flashy display, uh, and it dazzles enemies.

436
00:34:31,880 --> 00:34:37,680
And if things go worse, I'm essentially going to try to blind him, but I'm going to, as

437
00:34:37,680 --> 00:34:45,080
he unhinges his jaw, he is shooting essentially an acidic spine from like the back of his

438
00:34:45,080 --> 00:34:47,760
throat, basically targeting this man.

439
00:34:47,760 --> 00:34:52,720
And as the spine is going with his movement, he's using the jet boosters in his legs to

440
00:34:52,720 --> 00:34:58,040
literally move like maybe seconds behind that spine.

441
00:34:58,040 --> 00:35:03,120
So that spine hits him and then apex hits him because he is the apex predator and the

442
00:35:03,120 --> 00:35:04,520
hunt is on.

443
00:35:04,520 --> 00:35:05,520
Okay.

444
00:35:05,520 --> 00:35:06,520
Okay.

445
00:35:06,520 --> 00:35:16,760
Um, and the moment before this, like spine attack occurs, uh, you see like turn, see

446
00:35:16,760 --> 00:35:25,960
you react weirdly quickly, almost as quick as you like he, like he could have avoided

447
00:35:25,960 --> 00:35:36,000
this, lifts an arm up that appears like to gather heat in his hand and he turns and as

448
00:35:36,000 --> 00:35:43,200
the spine hits him, he goes, how did you learn how to do that?

449
00:35:43,200 --> 00:35:47,160
And falls to the floor.

450
00:35:47,160 --> 00:35:49,400
He is conscious and knock him out.

451
00:35:49,400 --> 00:35:50,400
Okay.

452
00:35:50,400 --> 00:35:51,400
Yep.

453
00:35:51,400 --> 00:35:52,400
He was, he was vulnerable.

454
00:35:52,400 --> 00:35:54,080
That does happen.

455
00:35:54,080 --> 00:35:58,240
You are alone in this room.

456
00:35:58,240 --> 00:36:01,680
Um, I'm going to sniff the air.

457
00:36:01,680 --> 00:36:03,680
Does it smell?

458
00:36:03,680 --> 00:36:06,600
Is there, was there a scent to the thing that he took?

459
00:36:06,600 --> 00:36:10,120
It is.

460
00:36:10,120 --> 00:36:24,040
It's got like the faintest and familiar scent of like a bunch of biological normal sense

461
00:36:24,040 --> 00:36:27,840
that you would sniff out in the world.

462
00:36:27,840 --> 00:36:30,420
They don't make sense together.

463
00:36:30,420 --> 00:36:33,160
They shouldn't go together.

464
00:36:33,160 --> 00:36:37,440
They don't smell like the right configuration.

465
00:36:37,440 --> 00:36:41,400
Don't like that.

466
00:36:41,400 --> 00:36:48,080
Um, I'm going to tell switch to find something to potentially tie this figure up and I'm

467
00:36:48,080 --> 00:36:52,400
going to try to find whatever he took and then we're going to leave.

468
00:36:52,400 --> 00:36:53,400
Okay.

469
00:36:53,400 --> 00:36:56,400
You got it.

470
00:36:56,400 --> 00:37:00,960
And, uh, switch will hop out of the room.

471
00:37:00,960 --> 00:37:02,960
Um, Nim.

472
00:37:02,960 --> 00:37:09,200
I think that around now you'd arrive at the building.

473
00:37:09,200 --> 00:37:12,680
Um, you're supposed to be delivering food.

474
00:37:12,680 --> 00:37:24,560
The lobby is so shiny, uh, so crisp and clean, um, and sparkly and high tech.

475
00:37:24,560 --> 00:37:32,720
And there is a lady at a desk that is elevated so high up, um, who greets you with a big

476
00:37:32,720 --> 00:37:33,720
smile.

477
00:37:33,720 --> 00:37:34,720
Hi.

478
00:37:34,720 --> 00:37:35,720
Hi.

479
00:37:35,720 --> 00:37:38,200
Do you have an appointment?

480
00:37:38,200 --> 00:37:40,320
Which office are you going to?

481
00:37:40,320 --> 00:37:49,120
Um, I actually am supposed to be, uh, making a delivery from Comfort Cups.

482
00:37:49,120 --> 00:37:51,000
Oh, of course.

483
00:37:51,000 --> 00:37:52,160
Of course.

484
00:37:52,160 --> 00:37:53,600
And who are you delivering to?

485
00:37:53,600 --> 00:37:54,600
Do you know?

486
00:37:54,600 --> 00:37:56,600
Uh, is it?

487
00:37:56,600 --> 00:37:57,600
Oh.

488
00:37:57,600 --> 00:37:58,600
Oh.

489
00:37:58,600 --> 00:38:03,320
Is it for, is it for, um, Merrick up on the fourth?

490
00:38:03,320 --> 00:38:04,760
Uh, yes.

491
00:38:04,760 --> 00:38:06,560
Yeah, that's, yes.

492
00:38:06,560 --> 00:38:09,240
That's who I need to see.

493
00:38:09,240 --> 00:38:10,240
Okay.

494
00:38:10,240 --> 00:38:11,560
Yeah, no problem.

495
00:38:11,560 --> 00:38:14,720
Just go on up elevators to the right.

496
00:38:14,720 --> 00:38:18,560
Uh, and, um, just come back on down.

497
00:38:18,560 --> 00:38:21,280
Oh, there's a little visitor's pass for you.

498
00:38:21,280 --> 00:38:22,800
It's going to come out of that machine.

499
00:38:22,800 --> 00:38:25,640
Just make sure you throw it out on your way out.

500
00:38:25,640 --> 00:38:30,280
We don't want to contribute to the litter of Saga.

501
00:38:30,280 --> 00:38:32,680
Saga has a real litter problem.

502
00:38:32,680 --> 00:38:37,080
So just, we're going to throw out our passes on the way out.

503
00:38:37,080 --> 00:38:38,080
Okay.

504
00:38:38,080 --> 00:38:41,960
Thank you for helping keep Saga green.

505
00:38:41,960 --> 00:38:52,080
Before, uh, Nim walks away, um, they have a bit of a moment where the room kind of starts

506
00:38:52,080 --> 00:39:00,480
to get off kilter a little bit in their eyes.

507
00:39:00,480 --> 00:39:08,880
And she like puts a hand against the desk to kind of steady herself.

508
00:39:08,880 --> 00:39:13,800
And they breathe shallowly for a second.

509
00:39:13,800 --> 00:39:16,080
And then suddenly it passes.

510
00:39:16,080 --> 00:39:27,440
And she's like, uh, sorry, um, what is the fourth floor, right?

511
00:39:27,440 --> 00:39:30,040
Oh, yeah, yeah.

512
00:39:30,040 --> 00:39:31,040
Fourth floor.

513
00:39:31,040 --> 00:39:36,200
If you need, I could, I could just call him, come down, pick up his own food.

514
00:39:36,200 --> 00:39:37,200
That's okay.

515
00:39:37,200 --> 00:39:39,360
I can go up myself.

516
00:39:39,360 --> 00:39:40,840
Thank you.

517
00:39:40,840 --> 00:39:49,960
And before she even hears the response to that, they go towards the, um, the elevator

518
00:39:49,960 --> 00:39:52,480
to go up to the fourth floor.

519
00:39:52,480 --> 00:40:01,600
A little automatic pass that says delivery comes out and it's got a little sticker.

520
00:40:01,600 --> 00:40:07,800
You can put it on your whatever you're wearing.

521
00:40:07,800 --> 00:40:12,480
And you go and head on up, heading up to the fourth floor.

522
00:40:12,480 --> 00:40:14,520
It's kind of dark up here.

523
00:40:14,520 --> 00:40:22,600
There weren't really any instructions on like which office, um, he's in, uh, there's not

524
00:40:22,600 --> 00:40:24,840
like people walking around.

525
00:40:24,840 --> 00:40:25,840
It's pretty dead.

526
00:40:25,840 --> 00:40:30,880
Uh, but you hear a little bit of commotion, you know, around one corner.

527
00:40:30,880 --> 00:40:39,640
Grist, I am curious after, after this incident occurred, did you go back to work or?

528
00:40:39,640 --> 00:40:41,400
Well, you know what?

529
00:40:41,400 --> 00:40:45,120
I think it'd be more interesting if Grist tried to follow this dude.

530
00:40:45,120 --> 00:40:50,840
Uh, so the paint was part to get back at him for being a dick and also part to track him,

531
00:40:50,840 --> 00:40:55,920
uh, because I assume that he'll be like dribbling gold paint, kind of like a dog tracking through

532
00:40:55,920 --> 00:40:56,920
a house.

533
00:40:56,920 --> 00:41:01,240
Uh, so after Grist, she does to her credit finish up the wall that she was painting,

534
00:41:01,240 --> 00:41:06,840
but quite quickly, like and then puts the roller down, uh, and decides to take a, take

535
00:41:06,840 --> 00:41:07,840
an early dinner.

536
00:41:07,840 --> 00:41:12,920
Uh, so she does like poke her head out into the hallway and start following the great

537
00:41:12,920 --> 00:41:13,920
marks.

538
00:41:13,920 --> 00:41:23,320
So as you follow along, uh, and out, you went by the time that you turn that corner, uh,

539
00:41:23,320 --> 00:41:34,200
of that well lit right room, uh, you see a nervous looking, uh, Iksoki field mouse, uh,

540
00:41:34,200 --> 00:41:45,000
kind of hop out, uh, panicking and walks into a room across the hall, comes back with like

541
00:41:45,000 --> 00:41:54,240
a series of mechanical wires, uh, and runs back into the room across the hall and chucks

542
00:41:54,240 --> 00:41:55,560
them at Apex.

543
00:41:55,560 --> 00:41:57,560
Oh, hi Switch.

544
00:41:57,560 --> 00:42:08,960
Hey, hey, just picking up some odd jobs, you know?

545
00:42:08,960 --> 00:42:21,160
Uh, Grist's eye drifts from Switch to Apex, who's doing what Apex does in the lab area.

546
00:42:21,160 --> 00:42:22,160
Apex.

547
00:42:22,160 --> 00:42:23,160
Hello.

548
00:42:23,160 --> 00:42:24,160
Hi.

549
00:42:24,160 --> 00:42:25,160
Hey.

550
00:42:25,160 --> 00:42:26,160
Grist says, hi Switch.

551
00:42:26,160 --> 00:42:27,160
Whoa.

552
00:42:27,160 --> 00:42:28,160
Hey, hey, excuse me.

553
00:42:28,160 --> 00:42:29,160
You're the one with the not so smart ass.

554
00:42:29,160 --> 00:42:40,160
Apex?

555
00:42:40,160 --> 00:42:55,200
Where did, what happened?

556
00:42:55,200 --> 00:42:58,760
What happened to your head?

557
00:42:58,760 --> 00:43:01,880
It's not egg shaped anymore.

558
00:43:01,880 --> 00:43:03,000
Where did the egg go?

559
00:43:03,000 --> 00:43:05,840
That was a helmet.

560
00:43:05,840 --> 00:43:13,560
But and Grist's face like twists in confusion, but helmets go on your head.

561
00:43:13,560 --> 00:43:21,120
Do you know what nanobots are?

562
00:43:21,120 --> 00:43:25,280
Uh, I, I've heard of them before.

563
00:43:25,280 --> 00:43:26,280
Small machines.

564
00:43:26,280 --> 00:43:27,280
They're really small robots.

565
00:43:27,280 --> 00:43:29,040
Yes, yes.

566
00:43:29,040 --> 00:43:36,360
So if you have a nanobot helmet that then figures out how to create a spherical shape

567
00:43:36,360 --> 00:43:42,080
around not spherical objects, it does.

568
00:43:42,080 --> 00:43:46,280
And he like taps it to like have a cover and then like taps it again.

569
00:43:46,280 --> 00:43:51,920
Oh, shut up.

570
00:43:51,920 --> 00:43:52,920
That was the man.

571
00:43:52,920 --> 00:43:53,920
Wait, but.

572
00:43:53,920 --> 00:43:57,560
And then she notices him.

573
00:43:57,560 --> 00:44:01,760
She notices that he's like prone and unconscious.

574
00:44:01,760 --> 00:44:04,760
Is this yours?

575
00:44:04,760 --> 00:44:06,240
No, it's not.

576
00:44:06,240 --> 00:44:08,920
It suits him right.

577
00:44:08,920 --> 00:44:09,920
Hold on.

578
00:44:09,920 --> 00:44:12,120
Wait, Apex, what are you doing here?

579
00:44:12,120 --> 00:44:13,920
Switch, what are you doing here?

580
00:44:13,920 --> 00:44:14,920
We are.

581
00:44:14,920 --> 00:44:17,920
Hey, you know.

582
00:44:17,920 --> 00:44:19,480
Working.

583
00:44:19,480 --> 00:44:26,120
We are here to do research and development and.

584
00:44:26,120 --> 00:44:27,120
That's right.

585
00:44:27,120 --> 00:44:29,120
That's what the sign says.

586
00:44:29,120 --> 00:44:32,120
That's what the sign says.

587
00:44:32,120 --> 00:44:37,280
And this figure is poisoning themselves.

588
00:44:37,280 --> 00:44:39,440
It's terrible.

589
00:44:39,440 --> 00:44:40,440
Poisoning himself.

590
00:44:40,440 --> 00:44:43,240
Is that why they wanted to come down here?

591
00:44:43,240 --> 00:44:47,360
He was acting all shifty on the floor I was doing a paint job in.

592
00:44:47,360 --> 00:44:49,040
So I decided to follow him down here.

593
00:44:49,040 --> 00:44:54,560
100% pretty sure I just saw him take a drug, get old grumpy about it, then make a phone

594
00:44:54,560 --> 00:44:56,560
call complaining about some.

595
00:44:56,560 --> 00:45:00,600
I don't know, creative art project or something.

596
00:45:00,600 --> 00:45:01,600
Who knows?

597
00:45:01,600 --> 00:45:02,600
And.

598
00:45:02,600 --> 00:45:08,840
I was going to test his blood samples to see what is infecting him.

599
00:45:08,840 --> 00:45:09,840
I didn't.

600
00:45:09,840 --> 00:45:11,840
Hey, he's not dead.

601
00:45:11,840 --> 00:45:12,840
Good.

602
00:45:12,840 --> 00:45:15,640
I didn't assume he was dead.

603
00:45:15,640 --> 00:45:20,040
I'm going to assume people who are pro next to you are dead now from now on based on what

604
00:45:20,040 --> 00:45:21,040
you just said.

605
00:45:21,040 --> 00:45:25,880
If you're here for research and development, what I.

606
00:45:25,880 --> 00:45:31,320
Listen, ever since the plate project started going up, I've been hearing whispers of things

607
00:45:31,320 --> 00:45:38,540
that this company is doing that are, I don't know, bad, like really bad.

608
00:45:38,540 --> 00:45:40,040
All the workers are whispering about it.

609
00:45:40,040 --> 00:45:41,040
We're all on edge.

610
00:45:41,040 --> 00:45:43,960
So can you tell me what's going on?

611
00:45:43,960 --> 00:45:44,960
Please.

612
00:45:44,960 --> 00:45:50,760
He's going to go grab one of the vials that.

613
00:45:50,760 --> 00:45:51,760
The man took.

614
00:45:51,760 --> 00:45:55,080
I didn't get his name.

615
00:45:55,080 --> 00:46:04,680
As, as you go back to that freezer, Winston, you, you stayed a moment to have this conversation,

616
00:46:04,680 --> 00:46:10,120
but it's not long for you and Sebastian are heading out of this building and Nim, you're

617
00:46:10,120 --> 00:46:16,400
heading in coming from either side out of the elevator and towards the elevator on either

618
00:46:16,400 --> 00:46:19,280
sides of this dark hallway.

619
00:46:19,280 --> 00:46:26,600
Sebastian and Winston as you head out and Nim as you're heading in, walking and see

620
00:46:26,600 --> 00:46:35,600
each other in the middle and coming across this room in the center of the hall in which

621
00:46:35,600 --> 00:46:38,240
this scene has been playing out before you.

622
00:46:38,240 --> 00:46:42,320
Okay, so if we're to make another film, even though it's going to be this fucking corporate

623
00:46:42,320 --> 00:46:44,640
nonsense, it has to have a message and a theme.

624
00:46:44,640 --> 00:46:48,480
And I'm thinking, holy shit.

625
00:46:48,480 --> 00:46:50,240
First of all, hello, Nim.

626
00:46:50,240 --> 00:46:52,680
Second of all, what is happening here?

627
00:46:52,680 --> 00:46:53,680
Hello.

628
00:46:53,680 --> 00:46:54,680
Hi.

629
00:46:54,680 --> 00:46:55,680
Hello.

630
00:46:55,680 --> 00:46:57,120
We can't be here, gang.

631
00:46:57,120 --> 00:46:58,480
This is not a good place for us.

632
00:46:58,480 --> 00:47:08,120
Do you both happen to know a Mr. I think their name is Merrick, I believe.

633
00:47:08,120 --> 00:47:10,320
I'm going to pick him up and look at his chest.

634
00:47:10,320 --> 00:47:12,280
He has a name badge, right?

635
00:47:12,280 --> 00:47:13,280
Yeah.

636
00:47:13,280 --> 00:47:14,280
This one.

637
00:47:14,280 --> 00:47:18,480
You hold up the limp body of Merrick covered in paint.

638
00:47:18,480 --> 00:47:23,200
Who are you and what are you doing with Merrick?

639
00:47:23,200 --> 00:47:24,200
Fuck.

640
00:47:24,200 --> 00:47:26,920
Not good at this.

641
00:47:26,920 --> 00:47:30,400
Is that is that you, Apex?

642
00:47:30,400 --> 00:47:31,400
What what?

643
00:47:31,400 --> 00:47:35,040
Wait, what does what does fuck?

644
00:47:35,040 --> 00:47:40,320
It's it's it's an it's something you say when you're angry.

645
00:47:40,320 --> 00:47:43,840
Nim, what are you doing here?

646
00:47:43,840 --> 00:47:45,240
I am.

647
00:47:45,240 --> 00:47:47,320
She kind of holds up the bags.

648
00:47:47,320 --> 00:47:55,720
I had a delivery for Merrick from comfort cups.

649
00:47:55,720 --> 00:47:58,600
Are you going to is he dead?

650
00:47:58,600 --> 00:48:04,080
I will take that with the man on his shoulder.

651
00:48:04,080 --> 00:48:05,520
It's almost dinnertime.

652
00:48:05,520 --> 00:48:06,520
Is there enough for?

653
00:48:06,520 --> 00:48:07,520
OK, OK.

654
00:48:07,520 --> 00:48:11,040
Hold on one second.

655
00:48:11,040 --> 00:48:13,160
Is Merrick OK?

656
00:48:13,160 --> 00:48:16,920
Well the answers to these questions are different.

657
00:48:16,920 --> 00:48:17,920
No he what?

658
00:48:17,920 --> 00:48:18,920
No, she knows that the same one.

659
00:48:18,920 --> 00:48:19,920
Yeah, the same.

660
00:48:19,920 --> 00:48:20,920
No, no.

661
00:48:20,920 --> 00:48:21,920
It's a drink, right?

662
00:48:21,920 --> 00:48:22,920
It's a soup.

663
00:48:22,920 --> 00:48:31,920
I do want to say that Merrick's soup order is disappointing.

664
00:48:31,920 --> 00:48:40,280
Like leave out the dumplings, like leave out the noodles and like no scallions.

665
00:48:40,280 --> 00:48:43,280
It's like chicken broth.

666
00:48:43,280 --> 00:48:52,680
Is there a mild like neurotoxin in this research lab?

667
00:48:52,680 --> 00:48:53,680
Probably yes.

668
00:48:53,680 --> 00:48:58,120
OK, I'm going to pour that in the soup and then OK.

669
00:48:58,120 --> 00:49:00,840
Guys, we super super can't be here.

670
00:49:00,840 --> 00:49:02,680
This is like this is really bad for all of us.

671
00:49:02,680 --> 00:49:05,040
We will get like arrested.

672
00:49:05,040 --> 00:49:07,480
I will get arrested and I really can't.

673
00:49:07,480 --> 00:49:10,040
Then why are you here?

674
00:49:10,040 --> 00:49:13,160
We should we should probably get out of here.

675
00:49:13,160 --> 00:49:15,520
If we cannot leave Merrick.

676
00:49:15,520 --> 00:49:19,560
Hey, he was doing bad illegal things.

677
00:49:19,560 --> 00:49:27,880
I do not understand what your plans are with Merrick, but we cannot leave Merrick here.

678
00:49:27,880 --> 00:49:30,560
Test his blood.

679
00:49:30,560 --> 00:49:31,560
You can.

680
00:49:31,560 --> 00:49:33,600
OK, here's what I am proposing.

681
00:49:33,600 --> 00:49:36,160
Apex, you go ahead and take Merrick out of here.

682
00:49:36,160 --> 00:49:40,160
Please be discreet and as much as possible.

683
00:49:40,160 --> 00:49:43,200
Everyone else could just follow me out of the building.

684
00:49:43,200 --> 00:49:46,160
We will meet at the hide and seek bear lodge.

685
00:49:46,160 --> 00:49:49,760
Lawyer bear man Winston.

686
00:49:49,760 --> 00:49:51,160
What's going on here?

687
00:49:51,160 --> 00:49:53,320
What are they researching and developing?

688
00:49:53,320 --> 00:49:54,320
What is this?

689
00:49:54,320 --> 00:49:55,320
I have no idea.

690
00:49:55,320 --> 00:50:01,520
You know, storyteller, would I have been able to figure out any like gauge any of that and

691
00:50:01,520 --> 00:50:04,160
testing the stuff over time?

692
00:50:04,160 --> 00:50:07,960
There are a couple of things that immediately tie together for you.

693
00:50:07,960 --> 00:50:16,360
It is the smell of the biometrics in this place looking like smelling like it is different

694
00:50:16,360 --> 00:50:24,200
biomes like come together from different places being meshed and experimented with.

695
00:50:24,200 --> 00:50:33,760
The gentleman having heat expelling from his hand is something that you don't see humans

696
00:50:33,760 --> 00:50:34,760
do.

697
00:50:34,760 --> 00:50:39,640
This is they are trying to.

698
00:50:39,640 --> 00:50:42,520
Expand.

699
00:50:42,520 --> 00:50:45,160
Biological potentials here.

700
00:50:45,160 --> 00:50:54,000
They are trying, but you've also noticed a very bad drawback in that what they are

701
00:50:54,000 --> 00:51:01,440
doing is leading to what Marik was experiencing when he walked through that door, which was

702
00:51:01,440 --> 00:51:07,360
a depletion, a.

703
00:51:07,360 --> 00:51:09,880
A hindrance.

704
00:51:09,880 --> 00:51:14,560
He looks like he's deteriorating without it.

705
00:51:14,560 --> 00:51:17,600
But they're playing around.

706
00:51:17,600 --> 00:51:19,760
With some big level stuff.

707
00:51:19,760 --> 00:51:25,960
Apex will just share that almost like verbatim in whatever way he could explain it.

708
00:51:25,960 --> 00:51:35,960
He'll also showcase a little bit of like the unhinging the jaw and then like acid almost

709
00:51:35,960 --> 00:51:41,760
coming out of his mouth and then solidifying into like a small like spear or thorn that

710
00:51:41,760 --> 00:51:44,200
he shoots out.

711
00:51:44,200 --> 00:51:50,880
And then talks about there are ways to biologically change yourself.

712
00:51:50,880 --> 00:51:55,560
And it's something that I've learned how to do an independent study.

713
00:51:55,560 --> 00:52:00,240
It seems like they are also trying to recreate that themselves, but in a more flawed and

714
00:52:00,240 --> 00:52:05,240
temporary way, which isn't surprising because they are corporate flesh bags.

715
00:52:05,240 --> 00:52:07,240
Is it dangerous?

716
00:52:07,240 --> 00:52:09,400
Absolutely.

717
00:52:09,400 --> 00:52:15,680
You apex might be the smartest person I've ever met.

718
00:52:15,680 --> 00:52:19,480
Based on what you've seen here, do you think they're going to get it right?

719
00:52:19,480 --> 00:52:20,480
Like really?

720
00:52:20,480 --> 00:52:21,480
No, no.

721
00:52:21,480 --> 00:52:27,600
To get it right, you would have to not be mass producing something.

722
00:52:27,600 --> 00:52:30,960
And to get it right, you're not going to gain money.

723
00:52:30,960 --> 00:52:33,480
You're going to spend money.

724
00:52:33,480 --> 00:52:35,360
They want to gain money.

725
00:52:35,360 --> 00:52:39,400
This is this is just Chris's quarrel over again.

726
00:52:39,400 --> 00:52:42,600
And grist is going to step forward.

727
00:52:42,600 --> 00:52:47,920
And unless someone like physically intervenes, she is going to begin smashing the lab, like

728
00:52:47,920 --> 00:52:49,480
physically destroying it.

729
00:52:49,480 --> 00:52:52,000
We like it's like zero to 100.

730
00:52:52,000 --> 00:52:54,360
Like there was no hint of her being angry.

731
00:52:54,360 --> 00:52:59,440
And now she's just like methodically, not even like in an outburst, but like going from

732
00:52:59,440 --> 00:53:03,920
station to station and is going to start just like wrecking stuff.

733
00:53:03,920 --> 00:53:04,920
Nope.

734
00:53:04,920 --> 00:53:06,920
Grist, come on.

735
00:53:06,920 --> 00:53:09,080
We cannot get you involved in all of this.

736
00:53:09,080 --> 00:53:11,040
You are leaving so much evidence behind.

737
00:53:11,040 --> 00:53:14,160
We need to make sure that we are here without a trace.

738
00:53:14,160 --> 00:53:15,480
Do you understand me?

739
00:53:15,480 --> 00:53:22,420
As I'm trying to like paw your paw, your grab your hands from smashing anything or like

740
00:53:22,420 --> 00:53:26,200
try and step and prevent you from kicking down anything.

741
00:53:26,200 --> 00:53:29,920
Storyteller, is there a camera in this room?

742
00:53:29,920 --> 00:53:35,920
So I have first I have a question.

743
00:53:35,920 --> 00:53:38,320
Grist Winston tries to stop you.

744
00:53:38,320 --> 00:53:41,040
Do you allow him to stop you or do you want to leave?

745
00:53:41,040 --> 00:53:45,160
I'm not going to let him with my will stop me.

746
00:53:45,160 --> 00:53:48,920
I will attempt to get out, get out from his.

747
00:53:48,920 --> 00:53:49,920
I'm here for it.

748
00:53:49,920 --> 00:53:50,920
Yes.

749
00:53:50,920 --> 00:53:52,920
You got 18.

750
00:53:52,920 --> 00:53:53,920
26.

751
00:53:53,920 --> 00:53:54,920
Nice.

752
00:53:54,920 --> 00:53:55,920
Winston.

753
00:53:55,920 --> 00:53:59,920
You're a little too calm.

754
00:53:59,920 --> 00:54:04,920
You're trying to be diplomatic, but it's past diplomacy at this point.

755
00:54:04,920 --> 00:54:08,920
Grist, you you destroy the place.

756
00:54:08,920 --> 00:54:15,680
Yeah, I think it's like I said, it's not even like like she's mad or like, you know, like

757
00:54:15,680 --> 00:54:22,480
there's you just you notice she moves with intention, kind of like like a bulldozer just

758
00:54:22,480 --> 00:54:24,560
moving toward a wreck of a building.

759
00:54:24,560 --> 00:54:27,880
Like you know what's about to happen, but like the bulldozer isn't screaming.

760
00:54:27,880 --> 00:54:28,880
You know what I mean?

761
00:54:28,880 --> 00:54:32,880
And yeah, as you like move forward to try to restrain her, I think she just kind of

762
00:54:32,880 --> 00:54:36,120
like move like she's like an unstoppable force.

763
00:54:36,120 --> 00:54:40,920
You just kind of like like not even like angrily throwing you off, just moves through your

764
00:54:40,920 --> 00:54:43,480
your your grapple, your chokehold.

765
00:54:43,480 --> 00:54:47,400
And she moves toward the first station, like picks up these like tight, tight titrating

766
00:54:47,400 --> 00:54:52,560
vials, these Petri dishes, like this like beautiful sort of like a glass roller coaster

767
00:54:52,560 --> 00:54:54,200
of tubes and vials.

768
00:54:54,200 --> 00:54:59,480
She just picks it up and turns and smashes it onto the ground and moves again, like counter

769
00:54:59,480 --> 00:55:04,040
to counter, just smashing stuff onto the ground, like throwing it against the wall, smashing

770
00:55:04,040 --> 00:55:05,580
them against each other.

771
00:55:05,580 --> 00:55:14,720
And as she does, especially as she like breaks out of your grasp, Winston, Grist says, no,

772
00:55:14,720 --> 00:55:19,660
no, this can't happen again.

773
00:55:19,660 --> 00:55:25,080
We all know what will happen if it happens again, and I couldn't.

774
00:55:25,080 --> 00:55:26,480
I wasn't.

775
00:55:26,480 --> 00:55:28,080
There wasn't time.

776
00:55:28,080 --> 00:55:30,240
I didn't know I can't.

777
00:55:30,240 --> 00:55:31,520
But now there is.

778
00:55:31,520 --> 00:55:32,760
And I can.

779
00:55:32,760 --> 00:55:34,240
So I will.

780
00:55:34,240 --> 00:55:38,680
And these words are just kind of tumbling out of her like sand through the bottom of

781
00:55:38,680 --> 00:55:44,880
a broken sieve as she's just like smashing, smashing, smashing things methodically.

782
00:55:44,880 --> 00:55:48,600
I think I think during the whole time, it's just it's just was a smash.

783
00:55:48,600 --> 00:55:50,680
The reason no, you can't break that.

784
00:55:50,680 --> 00:55:51,680
That's very right.

785
00:55:51,680 --> 00:55:54,200
There's no need to bite Grist.

786
00:55:54,200 --> 00:55:55,200
Please.

787
00:55:55,200 --> 00:55:56,200
All right.

788
00:55:56,200 --> 00:55:57,200
Fine.

789
00:55:57,200 --> 00:55:58,200
Fine.

790
00:55:58,200 --> 00:55:59,200
I tried.

791
00:55:59,200 --> 00:56:00,200
I tried my best.

792
00:56:00,200 --> 00:56:03,200
We're going to have to clean this up some other way.

793
00:56:03,200 --> 00:56:05,960
I straighten my jacket and my tie.

794
00:56:05,960 --> 00:56:16,440
As this all is happening, Nim, several things occur as Grist starts and smashes the very

795
00:56:16,440 --> 00:56:18,640
first thing.

796
00:56:18,640 --> 00:56:25,720
The first smash is accompanied by an alarm trigger that starts to go off.

797
00:56:25,720 --> 00:56:34,960
And as soon as it does for you, Nim, time slows way down.

798
00:56:34,960 --> 00:56:44,280
You see Grist actualize in this way.

799
00:56:44,280 --> 00:56:54,240
You see Grist recognize the patterns and you hear the sirens and the patterns start to

800
00:56:54,240 --> 00:56:57,520
click for you.

801
00:56:57,520 --> 00:57:06,520
And there's a saying that people on Saga have said to you a couple of times now that a weight

802
00:57:06,520 --> 00:57:07,760
has been lifted.

803
00:57:07,760 --> 00:57:14,200
But they always say it like a relief.

804
00:57:14,200 --> 00:57:18,040
But a weight has been lifted.

805
00:57:18,040 --> 00:57:28,800
And again, this sort of siren that's going off, the reds and blues and whites that are

806
00:57:28,800 --> 00:57:37,080
flickering in the halls in slow motion as you see Grist continue and smash.

807
00:57:37,080 --> 00:57:48,680
You see like this slow movement of these glittering, sparkling, swirling energies lift from your

808
00:57:48,680 --> 00:57:56,400
shoulders and literally dissipate away.

809
00:57:56,400 --> 00:58:05,920
And then as Winston gives up and Grist smashes the last vial, and I imagine Sebastian is

810
00:58:05,920 --> 00:58:16,240
having a panic attack, the lights and the sirens speed up into their full actual sound.

811
00:58:16,240 --> 00:58:21,600
The time is moving normal again.

812
00:58:21,600 --> 00:58:24,560
And you are here in the moment with everybody else.

813
00:58:24,560 --> 00:58:28,920
Okay, I'm gonna I guess I'm gonna kind of leave this up to you.

814
00:58:28,920 --> 00:58:33,000
But do I know what's going on?

815
00:58:33,000 --> 00:58:40,720
Yeah, you it's like, it's like without having to have learned it, you're remembering along

816
00:58:40,720 --> 00:58:42,520
with Grist.

817
00:58:42,520 --> 00:58:46,600
Like you're recognizing the pattern, you're seeing exactly what's going on here, you're

818
00:58:46,600 --> 00:58:50,880
seeing like, why Grist is panicking makes sense to you.

819
00:58:50,880 --> 00:58:53,680
It's all clicking.

820
00:58:53,680 --> 00:59:04,440
And as far as the dissipating and whatnot, do I understand what that is specifically?

821
00:59:04,440 --> 00:59:15,260
I think that it at this point, this you felt it earlier, it's starting to become clear.

822
00:59:15,260 --> 00:59:24,320
So I think after everything kind of like gets back into real time, Nim is gonna be like

823
00:59:24,320 --> 00:59:33,080
straight to Grist and they're gonna look at them and be like, are you okay?

824
00:59:33,080 --> 00:59:34,080
No.

825
00:59:34,080 --> 00:59:37,080
I've never been okay.

826
00:59:37,080 --> 00:59:42,240
But that doesn't mean I can't keep moving.

827
00:59:42,240 --> 00:59:51,760
Here, take my hand and grist looks down almost shyly and reaches out like a big calloused

828
00:59:51,760 --> 00:59:59,360
hand crisscrossed with those charcoal black scars and locks her fingers and yours.

829
00:59:59,360 --> 01:00:07,400
Even though Nim doesn't really show that much emotion, I think what she loves about holding

830
01:00:07,400 --> 01:00:13,040
Grist's hand is the roughness of it, it just brings like a certain comfort.

831
01:00:13,040 --> 01:00:18,040
And so she kind of squeezes it a little bit.

832
01:00:18,040 --> 01:00:24,640
You have come so far, and you need to remember that.

833
01:00:24,640 --> 01:00:36,360
Nim, what's the point of how far we come if the same thing just happens wherever we go?

834
01:00:36,360 --> 01:00:43,480
I'm not going to say that each time makes you stronger.

835
01:00:43,480 --> 01:00:51,200
But you keep finding reasons to move forward.

836
01:00:51,200 --> 01:00:53,720
And you keep finding reasons to keep going.

837
01:00:53,720 --> 01:00:59,840
And that means it's worth something.

838
01:00:59,840 --> 01:01:00,840
Right?

839
01:01:00,840 --> 01:01:01,840
Right.

840
01:01:01,840 --> 01:01:02,840
Right.

841
01:01:02,840 --> 01:01:08,480
I've got my reason right here.

842
01:01:08,480 --> 01:01:12,760
And she squeezes your hand and takes a deep breath.

843
01:01:12,760 --> 01:01:16,640
When it comes out, I think you can hear her heartbeat, which had been thrumming in the

844
01:01:16,640 --> 01:01:23,400
air pulsing to a frenetic drum beat similar to the sirens begin to sort of slow down and

845
01:01:23,400 --> 01:01:26,920
equilibriize.

846
01:01:26,920 --> 01:01:39,400
She kind of like she had a moment earlier at the front desk, she kind of shakes her

847
01:01:39,400 --> 01:01:47,800
head a bit and takes a breath.

848
01:01:47,800 --> 01:01:51,200
We should probably get out of here.

849
01:01:51,200 --> 01:01:52,200
Right.

850
01:01:52,200 --> 01:01:56,420
And it's like as if on your word, Grist starts noticing the sirens and the flashing lights

851
01:01:56,420 --> 01:02:01,160
for the first time, but then her eyes flick back down to you, eyebrows not for half a

852
01:02:01,160 --> 01:02:02,160
second.

853
01:02:02,160 --> 01:02:04,160
Are you okay?

854
01:02:04,160 --> 01:02:05,160
Okay.

855
01:02:05,160 --> 01:02:06,160
Right.

856
01:02:06,160 --> 01:02:07,160
Okay, I'm done.

857
01:02:07,160 --> 01:02:12,600
I can go now.

858
01:02:12,600 --> 01:02:18,040
Switch has been tugging on Apex's cloak for like the last full minute.

859
01:02:18,040 --> 01:02:22,040
Like, okay.

860
01:02:22,040 --> 01:02:24,880
And so is there a camera in here at all?

861
01:02:24,880 --> 01:02:26,920
There is.

862
01:02:26,920 --> 01:02:29,920
There is a camera.

863
01:02:29,920 --> 01:02:38,920
The camera though, is pointed and stuck at one corner and you see that it has something

864
01:02:38,920 --> 01:02:46,800
lodged within it where you are is on the side where Merrick has been sneaking things out

865
01:02:46,800 --> 01:02:49,200
of the refrigerator.

866
01:02:49,200 --> 01:02:55,080
It looks like something has been lodged to keep the camera from doing its usual swivel

867
01:02:55,080 --> 01:02:56,080
path.

868
01:02:56,080 --> 01:02:57,080
Yeah.

869
01:02:57,080 --> 01:02:58,080
Okay.

870
01:02:58,080 --> 01:02:59,080
Well, then I'm going to leave that alone.

871
01:02:59,080 --> 01:03:05,240
I'm going to put helmet on and then I'm going to activate my signal jammer and I'm actually

872
01:03:05,240 --> 01:03:10,160
going to leave it in the office so it stays going off while we're going.

873
01:03:10,160 --> 01:03:12,440
I'm going to put it in the fridge actually.

874
01:03:12,440 --> 01:03:13,440
Okay.

875
01:03:13,440 --> 01:03:14,440
Yeah.

876
01:03:14,440 --> 01:03:15,440
And what are we doing with Merrick?

877
01:03:15,440 --> 01:03:16,440
Are we leaving him here?

878
01:03:16,440 --> 01:03:17,440
I'm taking him.

879
01:03:17,440 --> 01:03:18,440
You're taking him?

880
01:03:18,440 --> 01:03:25,840
I will literally go out the window with this man on my shoulder and my suit, the armor

881
01:03:25,840 --> 01:03:27,680
that I'm wearing has built-in claws.

882
01:03:27,680 --> 01:03:30,040
I will climb down the wall.

883
01:03:30,040 --> 01:03:31,440
Great.

884
01:03:31,440 --> 01:03:35,680
I'm just curious, Sebastian Winston, how are you doing?

885
01:03:35,680 --> 01:03:38,720
Do you need me to take you?

886
01:03:38,720 --> 01:03:42,480
I can drop him off on a roof and come back for you.

887
01:03:42,480 --> 01:03:45,840
I believe I can talk my way out of this.

888
01:03:45,840 --> 01:03:46,840
I'm not so sure.

889
01:03:46,840 --> 01:03:52,360
So Sebastian, if you're found leaving this scene, they might pull you into question,

890
01:03:52,360 --> 01:03:56,120
which I believe might be a bit disadvantageous to us.

891
01:03:56,120 --> 01:04:02,200
So if you don't mind Apex taking Sebastian with you, you can do so covertly.

892
01:04:02,200 --> 01:04:03,800
Yeah, sure.

893
01:04:03,800 --> 01:04:12,240
I'm going to put you on the same arm.

894
01:04:12,240 --> 01:04:13,240
Here you go.

895
01:04:13,240 --> 01:04:17,080
I'm going to hand Winston a pistol and don't look back.

896
01:04:17,080 --> 01:04:19,920
Wait, put it on.

897
01:04:19,920 --> 01:04:22,960
I turn off the safety.

898
01:04:22,960 --> 01:04:25,960
I put it in my briefcase.

899
01:04:25,960 --> 01:04:29,040
If I'm like a moth, I can like glide, like fly.

900
01:04:29,040 --> 01:04:32,200
You don't necessarily need to fully take me.

901
01:04:32,200 --> 01:04:37,960
Oh, so just go up and then slowly.

902
01:04:37,960 --> 01:04:40,440
How fast have you ever gone in your life?

903
01:04:40,440 --> 01:04:45,120
I mean, bullet train is pretty fast.

904
01:04:45,120 --> 01:04:48,120
Just boost.

905
01:04:48,120 --> 01:04:52,960
Oh, you know what?

906
01:04:52,960 --> 01:04:55,320
The other arm is probably Switch.

907
01:04:55,320 --> 01:04:56,760
I wouldn't believe him.

908
01:04:56,760 --> 01:04:57,760
That's my buddy.

909
01:04:57,760 --> 01:04:58,760
Switch has it.

910
01:04:58,760 --> 01:04:59,760
Switch is gone.

911
01:04:59,760 --> 01:05:04,240
Switch has got the darting in and out of the shadows thing.

912
01:05:04,240 --> 01:05:07,280
Switch has a little tunnel system to go through.

913
01:05:07,280 --> 01:05:08,840
Switch is OK.

914
01:05:08,840 --> 01:05:16,440
I like that scene in ET where they're going over the moon, except it's like way too fast.

915
01:05:16,440 --> 01:05:24,280
I think I would turn to Nym and for us three, I'm friends with the current security guards

916
01:05:24,280 --> 01:05:25,480
of this floor.

917
01:05:25,480 --> 01:05:30,520
I think we can convince them that this was just wrong place, wrong time.

918
01:05:30,520 --> 01:05:35,120
Maybe if we play it up, like we heard that there's a noise going off down the hall, we

919
01:05:35,120 --> 01:05:36,120
should be fine.

920
01:05:36,120 --> 01:05:37,120
OK.

921
01:05:37,120 --> 01:05:40,760
Just make sure just just act like you belong here and be all confident.

922
01:05:40,760 --> 01:05:44,560
That's how I make it through every single day.

923
01:05:44,560 --> 01:05:51,440
For for everybody who is walking out Winston, you passed like a team of security guards

924
01:05:51,440 --> 01:05:54,440
who are running and.

925
01:05:54,440 --> 01:05:59,400
They're they're armed, but it's with like it's security there.

926
01:05:59,400 --> 01:06:05,080
They're armed with like really tamed things, but they walk up to you and.

927
01:06:05,080 --> 01:06:08,240
Captain, there's some commotion going down the hall.

928
01:06:08,240 --> 01:06:10,840
We heard some crashing, some shouting.

929
01:06:10,840 --> 01:06:12,840
There's like nine ninjas down there.

930
01:06:12,840 --> 01:06:13,840
We got it.

931
01:06:13,840 --> 01:06:14,840
We got it.

932
01:06:14,840 --> 01:06:15,840
We went to get out of the building.

933
01:06:15,840 --> 01:06:16,840
We get no.

934
01:06:16,840 --> 01:06:17,840
What?

935
01:06:17,840 --> 01:06:18,840
All right.

936
01:06:18,840 --> 01:06:19,840
All right.

937
01:06:19,840 --> 01:06:23,160
We're going and they run past.

938
01:06:23,160 --> 01:06:24,640
They don't even question you.

939
01:06:24,640 --> 01:06:31,320
They don't even nothing about you seems suspicious whatsoever to them.

940
01:06:31,320 --> 01:06:32,320
And they head on out.

941
01:06:32,320 --> 01:06:34,840
You're able to leave the building freely.

942
01:06:34,840 --> 01:06:44,680
As you get out of the building and away from the sirens and the chaos, it's just a little

943
01:06:44,680 --> 01:06:45,680
past dusk.

944
01:06:45,680 --> 01:06:51,600
It's beginning to get a little bit into the early evening and gris takes off her staff

945
01:06:51,600 --> 01:06:57,840
name tag and she opens up her leather vest and like puts it on top of the like like dozen

946
01:06:57,840 --> 01:07:00,560
stack that she has just pasted in the same place.

947
01:07:00,560 --> 01:07:06,760
She puts it on to prevent waste and she puts her.

948
01:07:06,760 --> 01:07:09,440
Okay, well, we do have some time.

949
01:07:09,440 --> 01:07:14,440
We should make our way over to the hide and seek lodge.

950
01:07:14,440 --> 01:07:16,440
Are you are you okay, Chris?

951
01:07:16,440 --> 01:07:21,240
There was a moment there while I fully believed that you were not going to be okay.

952
01:07:21,240 --> 01:07:23,240
Then are you fine too?

953
01:07:23,240 --> 01:07:24,720
I'm okay.

954
01:07:24,720 --> 01:07:27,480
I'm not okay.

955
01:07:27,480 --> 01:07:31,200
I haven't been okay for a very long time.

956
01:07:31,200 --> 01:07:35,560
Well, I'm going to give you a beef stick.

957
01:07:35,560 --> 01:07:40,820
What is just just something just something to chew on.

958
01:07:40,820 --> 01:07:42,440
It helps me sort my own thoughts.

959
01:07:42,440 --> 01:07:49,000
I find Chris takes it slowly and puts it in her mouth and is there a wrapper?

960
01:07:49,000 --> 01:07:50,700
Yes, there's a wrapper.

961
01:07:50,700 --> 01:07:51,700
She chewed.

962
01:07:51,700 --> 01:07:56,020
She like chews through the wrapper.

963
01:07:56,020 --> 01:07:59,760
This tastes kind of good, but also a little bad.

964
01:07:59,760 --> 01:08:01,760
That's how it's supposed to taste.

965
01:08:01,760 --> 01:08:07,000
Winston, I didn't mean anything personal by breaking out of you.

966
01:08:07,000 --> 01:08:10,800
I just it had to be done.

967
01:08:10,800 --> 01:08:16,200
I believe it could have been done in a much more efficient, quieter, more, you know, covert

968
01:08:16,200 --> 01:08:21,240
way, but I understand.

969
01:08:21,240 --> 01:08:26,440
I think there was a great wrong that happened to you and there's very few ways to make

970
01:08:26,440 --> 01:08:29,020
it right.

971
01:08:29,020 --> 01:08:31,960
Not just to me, Winston.

972
01:08:31,960 --> 01:08:37,800
And whatever they're doing, if what Apex is saying holds any water, what they're doing

973
01:08:37,800 --> 01:08:40,840
doesn't just affect them either.

974
01:08:40,840 --> 01:08:47,840
Besides none of those words you just said, covert, efficient, they don't exactly describe

975
01:08:47,840 --> 01:08:50,840
me.

976
01:08:50,840 --> 01:08:52,600
That's quite fair.

977
01:08:52,600 --> 01:08:59,360
I'm sorry if standing in your way sent the message that I don't feel for you or support

978
01:08:59,360 --> 01:09:00,360
you.

979
01:09:00,360 --> 01:09:01,360
I do.

980
01:09:01,360 --> 01:09:02,360
I do.

981
01:09:02,360 --> 01:09:07,960
I just, ooh, and there's going to be a lot of explaining to do once someone finds out.

982
01:09:07,960 --> 01:09:12,400
No, I owe you an explanation, Winston.

983
01:09:12,400 --> 01:09:17,840
I owe all of you an explanation, I think, if you're okay with that.

984
01:09:17,840 --> 01:09:20,960
And Grista addresses that last part to Nim.

985
01:09:20,960 --> 01:09:22,240
Do what you think is right.

986
01:09:22,240 --> 01:09:24,040
It's not just me, Nim.

987
01:09:24,040 --> 01:09:25,240
It's you.

988
01:09:25,240 --> 01:09:29,040
It's all of you.

989
01:09:29,040 --> 01:09:31,120
I'm okay with that.

990
01:09:31,120 --> 01:09:37,440
Well, I'm afraid you'll continue to be worried and maybe even more worried after we tell

991
01:09:37,440 --> 01:09:40,560
you, but that's just how it is.

992
01:09:40,560 --> 01:09:42,640
Oh, what's the phrase here?

993
01:09:42,640 --> 01:09:45,000
That's how the cookie crumbles?

994
01:09:45,000 --> 01:09:46,000
Sure.

995
01:09:46,000 --> 01:09:51,720
It's been a long time since I've had a cookie, but...

996
01:09:51,720 --> 01:09:52,720
Is that a thing?

997
01:09:52,720 --> 01:09:55,800
I thought it was just a phrase.

998
01:09:55,800 --> 01:10:00,440
Yes, cookies are quite a delicacy.

999
01:10:00,440 --> 01:10:01,520
They're really hard to find.

1000
01:10:01,520 --> 01:10:07,800
You need the right ingredients that we just can't quite make anymore here on Saga.

1001
01:10:07,800 --> 01:10:09,360
Oh, I see.

1002
01:10:09,360 --> 01:10:11,880
Well, the ingredients probably don't include dough.

1003
01:10:11,880 --> 01:10:15,720
That's the only thing I really know anything about.

1004
01:10:15,720 --> 01:10:18,360
This is a strange group.

1005
01:10:18,360 --> 01:10:24,520
I think it's fair to say that you're all able to make it to the lodge roughly around the

1006
01:10:24,520 --> 01:10:29,960
same time, although you're coming from very different modes of travel.

1007
01:10:29,960 --> 01:10:35,720
Winston, you do know that the lodge does have a back entrance.

1008
01:10:35,720 --> 01:10:46,720
You do know that there's extreme circumstances that would allow you to use it.

1009
01:10:46,720 --> 01:10:47,720
Yeah.

1010
01:10:47,720 --> 01:10:55,160
Here, we'll enter this way and I'll explain everything to Kalico if she comes by and our

1011
01:10:55,160 --> 01:10:58,320
presence is a surprise.

1012
01:10:58,320 --> 01:11:09,320
When you walk into the back door, it is Kalico who actually meets you there.

1013
01:11:09,320 --> 01:11:10,320
Hello.

1014
01:11:10,320 --> 01:11:11,320
Hello.

1015
01:11:11,320 --> 01:11:12,800
Yes, thank you.

1016
01:11:12,800 --> 01:11:19,000
I do apologize for the unannounced use of this entrance.

1017
01:11:19,000 --> 01:11:21,000
Oh, hello, dear.

1018
01:11:21,000 --> 01:11:23,000
Come on in.

1019
01:11:23,000 --> 01:11:25,560
Okay, okay, okay.

1020
01:11:25,560 --> 01:11:29,200
Oh, don't you worry about that, dear.

1021
01:11:29,200 --> 01:11:32,840
Let's just get you into the basement, all of you.

1022
01:11:32,840 --> 01:11:35,320
Come on, quick as thieves.

1023
01:11:35,320 --> 01:11:42,240
I'll be right behind you all, okay, with some towels, maybe something to drink.

1024
01:11:42,240 --> 01:11:44,560
Just go on ahead.

1025
01:11:44,560 --> 01:11:46,120
Of course, Kalico.

1026
01:11:46,120 --> 01:11:47,320
Thank you so much.

1027
01:11:47,320 --> 01:11:53,480
And I'm going to hurry down tiptoe as much as a bear can.

1028
01:11:53,480 --> 01:11:57,400
Yours is quiet and empty.

1029
01:11:57,400 --> 01:12:05,040
The monitor system though does have a news station plan.

1030
01:12:05,040 --> 01:12:09,760
Are you tired of the same old cosmic viewpoint and lifeless manmade surroundings?

1031
01:12:09,760 --> 01:12:12,320
Then we have an offer for you.

1032
01:12:12,320 --> 01:12:17,040
We at Clearcut Development and Construction are looking to build jobs on sunny tropical

1033
01:12:17,040 --> 01:12:22,800
adune for upcoming projects catered to a wide variety of skills and backgrounds.

1034
01:12:22,800 --> 01:12:26,680
Construction workers, mechanics, engineers, plumbers, loggers, excavators, and miners

1035
01:12:26,680 --> 01:12:28,320
are all welcome to apply.

1036
01:12:28,320 --> 01:12:33,040
We're also looking for veterans and soldiers for our scouting team who brave the untamed

1037
01:12:33,040 --> 01:12:37,480
wilderness surrounding the established beachfront properties and work alongside our scientific

1038
01:12:37,480 --> 01:12:38,480
team.

1039
01:12:38,480 --> 01:12:39,480
Who knows?

1040
01:12:39,480 --> 01:12:44,400
You might even be the first to discover a new species here on adune's rich landscape.

1041
01:12:44,400 --> 01:12:48,920
All offsite personnel working for Clearcut will be lodged at the Displaza Resort right

1042
01:12:48,920 --> 01:12:53,040
alongside the lush scenic coastline to play and relax.

1043
01:12:53,040 --> 01:12:57,880
If you're looking to build a new paradise, contact us and begin your new idyllic life

1044
01:12:57,880 --> 01:13:00,560
with Clearcut Development and Construction.

1045
01:13:00,560 --> 01:13:01,560
Call now!

1046
01:13:01,560 --> 01:13:08,400
That ad plays as well as several of the others that you've already heard over the past several

1047
01:13:08,400 --> 01:13:09,740
weeks.

1048
01:13:09,740 --> 01:13:16,520
You have just a few minutes before Calico will return to you.

1049
01:13:16,520 --> 01:13:21,880
I mentioned this to Winston on the way over, so I'll mention this to you now, Apex and

1050
01:13:21,880 --> 01:13:23,920
you, Sebastian.

1051
01:13:23,920 --> 01:13:27,720
I feel I owe the three of you an explanation.

1052
01:13:27,720 --> 01:13:36,120
It doesn't seem to be mere coincidence, happenstance, that we keep meeting under such interesting

1053
01:13:36,120 --> 01:13:38,440
circumstances.

1054
01:13:38,440 --> 01:13:43,520
So there's something I want to share with all of you.

1055
01:13:43,520 --> 01:13:47,080
As you all know, Nim and I aren't from Saga.

1056
01:13:47,080 --> 01:13:49,160
We came here about three years ago.

1057
01:13:49,160 --> 01:13:55,560
And the place we came here from was known as the Crassus Galaxy.

1058
01:13:55,560 --> 01:13:56,880
I don't know if you've heard of it.

1059
01:13:56,880 --> 01:14:04,200
It was a little constellation on the far fringes of this one's universe.

1060
01:14:04,200 --> 01:14:09,280
But when it stood, it was beautiful.

1061
01:14:09,280 --> 01:14:16,600
Millions of stars, hundreds of thousands of planets, and a corporation that ruled everything,

1062
01:14:16,600 --> 01:14:17,960
Crassus Core.

1063
01:14:17,960 --> 01:14:22,920
Not too dissimilar to what I'm seeing here with Seta Unmentioned.

1064
01:14:22,920 --> 01:14:25,120
They did everything.

1065
01:14:25,120 --> 01:14:26,120
They made everything.

1066
01:14:26,120 --> 01:14:30,200
They were on the cutting edge of technology at the time or so, I thought.

1067
01:14:30,200 --> 01:14:34,760
Everything I learned about them was through, well, the radio.

1068
01:14:34,760 --> 01:14:42,000
I was just, I grew up on Grain 962.

1069
01:14:42,000 --> 01:14:45,520
Little terraformed planet, nothing but grain.

1070
01:14:45,520 --> 01:14:51,480
Grain for miles and miles and miles and miles, an entire planet of it, covered in this golden

1071
01:14:51,480 --> 01:14:52,640
hair.

1072
01:14:52,640 --> 01:14:53,640
I was a farmer.

1073
01:14:53,640 --> 01:14:54,720
My ma was a farmer.

1074
01:14:54,720 --> 01:14:55,880
My pa was a farmer.

1075
01:14:55,880 --> 01:14:58,360
Their ma's and pa's before them were farmers.

1076
01:14:58,360 --> 01:15:01,600
We had some pigs, that was it.

1077
01:15:01,600 --> 01:15:07,160
And then, Crassus Core got too greedy.

1078
01:15:07,160 --> 01:15:09,480
It got too big.

1079
01:15:09,480 --> 01:15:15,600
The galaxy started to collapse under the weight of its own hubris, I guess.

1080
01:15:15,600 --> 01:15:23,960
And when we tried to escape, well, that didn't go as planned.

1081
01:15:23,960 --> 01:15:32,680
Nim and I are the only survivors that I know of.

1082
01:15:32,680 --> 01:15:39,960
So when I see similar things happening here, rapid technological development that leaves

1083
01:15:39,960 --> 01:15:48,280
normal people behind, lots of money, very few hands, I get a little scared.

1084
01:15:48,280 --> 01:15:51,200
The whole time, I think, Winston has been listening.

1085
01:15:51,200 --> 01:15:55,720
It's just been slowly, slowly getting more and more emotional and teary-eyed.

1086
01:15:55,720 --> 01:16:04,920
And when you finish, I pull you both in and just be like, your home might be gone, but

1087
01:16:04,920 --> 01:16:08,680
you can find a place here, here on Sokka.

1088
01:16:08,680 --> 01:16:11,920
I will help you find it.

1089
01:16:11,920 --> 01:16:14,440
I do like this place.

1090
01:16:14,440 --> 01:16:20,400
Like I said, it has a bunch of different things in one place, cities and rivers and mountains.

1091
01:16:20,400 --> 01:16:22,440
It's beautiful.

1092
01:16:22,440 --> 01:16:24,240
And I like the people here.

1093
01:16:24,240 --> 01:16:30,520
I like the soup at Comfort Cups, and I like this lodge, and I like the people I work with.

1094
01:16:30,520 --> 01:16:34,920
I like the food we get to try and the new words I get to learn here, like how everyone

1095
01:16:34,920 --> 01:16:38,040
seems to have a dream.

1096
01:16:38,040 --> 01:16:43,280
But I just don't want the same thing to happen here that happened back home.

1097
01:16:43,280 --> 01:16:46,680
I think you'll have a good future here, Crassus.

1098
01:16:46,680 --> 01:16:50,120
You're saying that you won't be a part of it.

1099
01:16:50,120 --> 01:16:51,840
I will be.

1100
01:16:51,840 --> 01:16:56,520
Well, that's enough about me.

1101
01:16:56,520 --> 01:16:57,520
That's it.

1102
01:16:57,520 --> 01:17:01,000
That's the context, the story, I guess.

1103
01:17:01,000 --> 01:17:07,360
Well, if you do not have the feeling like you have to, you need to hide any part of

1104
01:17:07,360 --> 01:17:12,160
yourself, nor are you obligated to share any part of yourself.

1105
01:17:12,160 --> 01:17:16,520
But I'm glad you decided to share and tell us.

1106
01:17:16,520 --> 01:17:19,280
That way we can understand each other a little bit better.

1107
01:17:19,280 --> 01:17:20,280
Thank you, Winston.

1108
01:17:20,280 --> 01:17:23,240
I never expected someone in a suit to be comforting me.

1109
01:17:23,240 --> 01:17:27,640
Really, guys that looked like you back home were the ones that were responsible for everything

1110
01:17:27,640 --> 01:17:29,600
collapsing.

1111
01:17:29,600 --> 01:17:30,600
That's fair.

1112
01:17:30,600 --> 01:17:37,640
Actually, Sebastian, this would be, this grist sort of sentiment and story might be useful

1113
01:17:37,640 --> 01:17:44,280
for your video, your film, don't you think?

1114
01:17:44,280 --> 01:17:48,240
Yeah, we can't.

1115
01:17:48,240 --> 01:17:53,200
We can't have the same thing happen again.

1116
01:17:53,200 --> 01:18:11,400
And you know, at least you three pointing to Grisnim and Apex, you can stop it happening

1117
01:18:11,400 --> 01:18:16,360
here and I can document it.

1118
01:18:16,360 --> 01:18:27,480
And if people saw that people were fighting for this place, even if we fail, maybe people

1119
01:18:27,480 --> 01:18:35,600
in the future will stop it from happening to them.

1120
01:18:35,600 --> 01:18:37,600
Okay.

1121
01:18:37,600 --> 01:18:42,480
Is there anything you need from us?

1122
01:18:42,480 --> 01:18:46,760
We could start with an interview.

1123
01:18:46,760 --> 01:18:58,040
If you can tell your story, then no matter what happens, at least we have that.

1124
01:18:58,040 --> 01:19:02,200
Never told my story before to anyone.

1125
01:19:02,200 --> 01:19:03,200
I didn't have to.

1126
01:19:03,200 --> 01:19:04,200
I mean, obviously, Nim knew.

1127
01:19:04,200 --> 01:19:09,600
It's the first time in three years I've spoken about it.

1128
01:19:09,600 --> 01:19:10,920
But I can.

1129
01:19:10,920 --> 01:19:20,240
And there is someone in the world, in the universe, who is just like you.

1130
01:19:20,240 --> 01:19:27,040
And they're going to hear their story be told from someone else.

1131
01:19:27,040 --> 01:19:30,760
Someone that they can relate to.

1132
01:19:30,760 --> 01:19:31,760
They can find home in.

1133
01:19:31,760 --> 01:19:34,760
I'm just a farmer.

1134
01:19:34,760 --> 01:19:38,000
I am not.

1135
01:19:38,000 --> 01:19:41,560
We're just feed people.

1136
01:19:41,560 --> 01:19:44,240
There's a lot of us.

1137
01:19:44,240 --> 01:19:45,240
Pretty dispensable.

1138
01:19:45,240 --> 01:19:47,680
There's a lot of people that need feed-in.

1139
01:19:47,680 --> 01:19:48,880
That's true.

1140
01:19:48,880 --> 01:19:50,520
There's one thing that never seems to change.

1141
01:19:50,520 --> 01:19:53,040
Mouths and food.

1142
01:19:53,040 --> 01:19:55,600
I appreciate the sentiment, Sebastian.

1143
01:19:55,600 --> 01:19:56,600
I've never...

1144
01:19:56,600 --> 01:20:05,720
Well, art has always been, I guess, as far away to me as technology and books and fancy

1145
01:20:05,720 --> 01:20:07,600
learning stuff.

1146
01:20:07,600 --> 01:20:16,080
So if you think this story, this art you're making can reach someone, can change something,

1147
01:20:16,080 --> 01:20:19,080
then I'm in.

1148
01:20:19,080 --> 01:20:20,080
Yeah.

1149
01:20:20,080 --> 01:20:24,640
I don't think it's even your story.

1150
01:20:24,640 --> 01:20:32,240
It's your story, yes, but I think we're all here for different reasons, right?

1151
01:20:32,240 --> 01:20:38,560
We all have some reason to be alive.

1152
01:20:38,560 --> 01:20:45,880
Could everyone tell their story in an interview for my movie?

1153
01:20:45,880 --> 01:20:56,580
If you pick select interviews, you're highlighting individuals, not the place you want to highlight.

1154
01:20:56,580 --> 01:21:04,040
So some of them might be good, but if that's the focus, it's not very productive for research.

1155
01:21:04,040 --> 01:21:07,240
It's sympathy, not drive.

1156
01:21:07,240 --> 01:21:10,680
People when they're sympathetic, care.

1157
01:21:10,680 --> 01:21:14,000
People when they're driven, move.

1158
01:21:14,000 --> 01:21:15,000
Or something, I don't know.

1159
01:21:15,000 --> 01:21:17,640
But you're not getting my face on that camera.

1160
01:21:17,640 --> 01:21:18,640
Why not?

1161
01:21:18,640 --> 01:21:21,000
I think you have a nice face.

1162
01:21:21,000 --> 01:21:22,880
Oh, my face is beautiful.

1163
01:21:22,880 --> 01:21:23,880
Thank you.

1164
01:21:23,880 --> 01:21:24,880
I worked very hard on this.

1165
01:21:24,880 --> 01:21:27,640
What, you made it?

1166
01:21:27,640 --> 01:21:44,360
But people recognizing my face can become inconvenient for me to do my job as a research.

1167
01:21:44,360 --> 01:21:47,080
And people know my face, they know that I'm going to come kill them sometimes.

1168
01:21:47,080 --> 01:21:49,240
That's bad.

1169
01:21:49,240 --> 01:21:51,040
Is that why you're here?

1170
01:21:51,040 --> 01:21:54,040
You're here to kill someone?

1171
01:21:54,040 --> 01:21:55,040
No.

1172
01:21:55,040 --> 01:22:00,560
I would not have shown you all my face.

1173
01:22:00,560 --> 01:22:02,560
Then why are you here, Apex?

1174
01:22:02,560 --> 01:22:06,000
If you're not going to say it for the camera, I don't.

1175
01:22:06,000 --> 01:22:07,560
I just want to know.

1176
01:22:07,560 --> 01:22:14,540
I pull out one of the vials that the dude took.

1177
01:22:14,540 --> 01:22:19,080
The unstable tech?

1178
01:22:19,080 --> 01:22:22,400
I want to know how they did it wrong.

1179
01:22:22,400 --> 01:22:27,480
Oh, I hope you figure that out.

1180
01:22:27,480 --> 01:22:29,200
What are you going to do when you find out?

1181
01:22:29,200 --> 01:22:30,200
Who knows?

1182
01:22:30,200 --> 01:22:35,360
Will you tell them how to do it right so they don't hurt other people?

1183
01:22:35,360 --> 01:22:39,640
Or are you going to make sure no one gets to do this?

1184
01:22:39,640 --> 01:22:43,040
I don't like to make decisions before.

1185
01:22:43,040 --> 01:22:47,560
I have read the final chapter.

1186
01:22:47,560 --> 01:22:55,720
So I might give them help to resolve it if I feel like they are on a path that is more

1187
01:22:55,720 --> 01:23:03,360
towards the actual betterment of life, not just individuals.

1188
01:23:03,360 --> 01:23:06,240
But also I make no assumptions about what they're going to do.

1189
01:23:06,240 --> 01:23:10,160
I don't think that people are innately good or bad.

1190
01:23:10,160 --> 01:23:12,480
They make good or bad choices.

1191
01:23:12,480 --> 01:23:18,440
The same experiment can go seven times and nothing goes wrong.

1192
01:23:18,440 --> 01:23:24,200
But the reason we experiment is because if that eighth time is variable, well, that's

1193
01:23:24,200 --> 01:23:25,200
interesting.

1194
01:23:25,200 --> 01:23:30,120
Well, I don't know about all that.

1195
01:23:30,120 --> 01:23:31,120
But all I...

1196
01:23:31,120 --> 01:23:32,120
I see.

1197
01:23:32,120 --> 01:23:38,800
It's just in my experience, the more money you have, the less trustworthy you become.

1198
01:23:38,800 --> 01:23:41,200
I don't know what that says about being good or bad though.

1199
01:23:41,200 --> 01:23:48,640
Well, isn't your experience from a place that no longer exists, which no offense, but saga

1200
01:23:48,640 --> 01:23:51,520
is intentionally different.

1201
01:23:51,520 --> 01:23:59,720
If you keep your old perspective, you'll never see it differently.

1202
01:23:59,720 --> 01:24:05,360
Look at these two, I guess, technically, because you know them.

1203
01:24:05,360 --> 01:24:11,800
Did you ever expect to be in a strange back room with strangers talking about your emotions?

1204
01:24:11,800 --> 01:24:14,280
I sure as fuck didn't.

1205
01:24:14,280 --> 01:24:17,680
Yeah, I definitely didn't see this coming.

1206
01:24:17,680 --> 01:24:18,680
That's for sure.

1207
01:24:18,680 --> 01:24:24,320
I thought I'd die with the we, you know?

1208
01:24:24,320 --> 01:24:25,820
Maybe you're right.

1209
01:24:25,820 --> 01:24:29,560
Maybe the answers to the future aren't always in the past.

1210
01:24:29,560 --> 01:24:32,720
Maybe they're right here around us.

1211
01:24:32,720 --> 01:24:35,000
We got a decent sample size.

1212
01:24:35,000 --> 01:24:37,600
We and he puts his arm around Winston.

1213
01:24:37,600 --> 01:24:40,720
And that was speaking of bad decisions.

1214
01:24:40,720 --> 01:24:45,240
Where do we put Merrick?

1215
01:24:45,240 --> 01:24:49,040
Oh, I forgot he was here.

1216
01:24:49,040 --> 01:24:50,360
Probably in the corner.

1217
01:24:50,360 --> 01:24:53,800
Like groaning and like starts to sit up.

1218
01:24:53,800 --> 01:24:56,600
What the fuck?

1219
01:24:56,600 --> 01:24:57,600
Should we knock him out again?

1220
01:24:57,600 --> 01:25:00,600
No, no, no, no, no, no.

1221
01:25:00,600 --> 01:25:02,080
Please let me talk to Merrick.

1222
01:25:02,080 --> 01:25:06,960
We are associates of sorts.

1223
01:25:06,960 --> 01:25:08,960
Are you sleeping together?

1224
01:25:08,960 --> 01:25:09,960
No.

1225
01:25:09,960 --> 01:25:10,960
What?

1226
01:25:10,960 --> 01:25:11,960
Really?

1227
01:25:11,960 --> 01:25:12,960
Definitely not my type.

1228
01:25:12,960 --> 01:25:14,240
You can do better than that, Winston.

1229
01:25:14,240 --> 01:25:15,960
Yeah, you're good with words and stuff.

1230
01:25:15,960 --> 01:25:16,960
You can do the thing.

1231
01:25:16,960 --> 01:25:21,320
I'll saunter on over.

1232
01:25:21,320 --> 01:25:22,880
Sauter.

1233
01:25:22,880 --> 01:25:29,920
Plod on over to Merrick as he's groaning and getting up.

1234
01:25:29,920 --> 01:25:34,000
You don't look so good, Merrick.

1235
01:25:34,000 --> 01:25:39,000
Someone something took me out.

1236
01:25:39,000 --> 01:25:41,000
That would be my friend over there.

1237
01:25:41,000 --> 01:25:47,760
Now we found you in places of sorts you are not supposed to be.

1238
01:25:47,760 --> 01:25:54,620
I have access to the research and development wing.

1239
01:25:54,620 --> 01:25:55,960
I'm good to be there.

1240
01:25:55,960 --> 01:25:57,840
Yes, you are good to be there.

1241
01:25:57,840 --> 01:26:04,760
But you are not necessarily good to move the security camera and lock it in place.

1242
01:26:04,760 --> 01:26:10,280
So as you are not found doing illicit activities.

1243
01:26:10,280 --> 01:26:18,520
Okay, Winston, what is going on?

1244
01:26:18,520 --> 01:26:20,600
I'd like you to answer that.

1245
01:26:20,600 --> 01:26:24,240
Illuminate for me what is going on here.

1246
01:26:24,240 --> 01:26:26,560
Is this about the movie guy?

1247
01:26:26,560 --> 01:26:32,000
Are you upset with me that I am making him put a couple of ads in so that you and I can't

1248
01:26:32,000 --> 01:26:33,000
pay?

1249
01:26:33,000 --> 01:26:34,000
Absolutely not.

1250
01:26:34,000 --> 01:26:35,560
No, I am not mad about that.

1251
01:26:35,560 --> 01:26:39,280
You are just doing your job as a simple cog in the machine.

1252
01:26:39,280 --> 01:26:44,280
Okay, well, it seems oddly personal.

1253
01:26:44,280 --> 01:26:46,040
But I can let that slide for now.

1254
01:26:46,040 --> 01:26:50,760
It's not like there aren't people who know where I am and won't notice that I'm going

1255
01:26:50,760 --> 01:26:51,760
missing.

1256
01:26:51,760 --> 01:26:53,480
I have people.

1257
01:26:53,480 --> 01:26:56,720
Do you know where you are?

1258
01:26:56,720 --> 01:27:02,080
Well, there's hot water pipes running through this place.

1259
01:27:02,080 --> 01:27:07,800
And it smells like steam and lavender.

1260
01:27:07,800 --> 01:27:11,640
Are we in a spa?

1261
01:27:11,640 --> 01:27:13,880
Did you take me to a spa?

1262
01:27:13,880 --> 01:27:21,120
Yes, and this is your all expenses paid trip to the spa.

1263
01:27:21,120 --> 01:27:24,880
In a moment, we're going to put hot coals on your back to relax you.

1264
01:27:24,880 --> 01:27:26,840
Is that what you want to hear?

1265
01:27:26,840 --> 01:27:27,840
I'm sorry.

1266
01:27:27,840 --> 01:27:34,640
Are you threatening me or are you just trying to sound like you are?

1267
01:27:34,640 --> 01:27:35,640
Absolutely not.

1268
01:27:35,640 --> 01:27:40,920
No, Merrick, I there is something big going on here.

1269
01:27:40,920 --> 01:27:42,920
I'm not quite sure I understand it.

1270
01:27:42,920 --> 01:27:46,120
And I'm just here to ask you to help me understand.

1271
01:27:46,120 --> 01:27:47,120
Yeah.

1272
01:27:47,120 --> 01:27:48,120
Okay.

1273
01:27:48,120 --> 01:28:02,560
He's going to take a look to the right and see apex there, Nim and grist and Sebastian,

1274
01:28:02,560 --> 01:28:06,720
who's not really scaring him, but it is.

1275
01:28:06,720 --> 01:28:12,480
But the rest is is putting together some very strange pieces.

1276
01:28:12,480 --> 01:28:19,020
And he picks up a hand and like flexes a little bit.

1277
01:28:19,020 --> 01:28:27,720
And you see that that like what before looked apex as though like a bright like heat was

1278
01:28:27,720 --> 01:28:28,720
coming out.

1279
01:28:28,720 --> 01:28:36,960
You see like, just like the flickers of embers and then they die almost immediately.

1280
01:28:36,960 --> 01:28:48,760
And he sighs and says, Okay, I don't know what you want me to say.

1281
01:28:48,760 --> 01:28:57,400
The mayor and Seda, they are doing big things for saga.

1282
01:28:57,400 --> 01:29:01,840
Saga is going to be prime real estate for the rest of the galaxy.

1283
01:29:01,840 --> 01:29:07,520
Saga is going to be the place to do business, to thrive.

1284
01:29:07,520 --> 01:29:12,360
It's going to be the best place to make money.

1285
01:29:12,360 --> 01:29:17,700
And your ticket is already bought, Winston.

1286
01:29:17,700 --> 01:29:22,000
And like, I don't know what if you want me to do it for the rest of you, too.

1287
01:29:22,000 --> 01:29:24,240
Like I'm sure I could pull some strings.

1288
01:29:24,240 --> 01:29:30,900
But when the plates go up, you've already got a place on the upper side.

1289
01:29:30,900 --> 01:29:32,960
You said my tickets already bought.

1290
01:29:32,960 --> 01:29:33,960
Who paid that price?

1291
01:29:33,960 --> 01:29:39,760
You did when you went to law school, Winston, you make big money on this planet.

1292
01:29:39,760 --> 01:29:42,760
You do seedy things for seedy companies just like I do.

1293
01:29:42,760 --> 01:29:45,720
I don't understand what the big problem is.

1294
01:29:45,720 --> 01:29:53,400
My problem is that I did not know I was buying this ticket.

1295
01:29:53,400 --> 01:29:54,920
What about all the other people?

1296
01:29:54,920 --> 01:29:58,500
What about the people that don't have a place on these plates?

1297
01:29:58,500 --> 01:30:01,400
What's going to happen with them?

1298
01:30:01,400 --> 01:30:03,720
You know, nothing's going to happen to them.

1299
01:30:03,720 --> 01:30:07,600
They're just going to, you know, be left behind.

1300
01:30:07,600 --> 01:30:10,040
They're just going to live under the plates.

1301
01:30:10,040 --> 01:30:11,040
It's no big deal.

1302
01:30:11,040 --> 01:30:12,920
It's just a couple of upper decks.

1303
01:30:12,920 --> 01:30:18,560
OK, so if it's no big deal, is that someplace that you would want to be located and live?

1304
01:30:18,560 --> 01:30:26,840
No, that's why I got the high stress job that's killing me at a young age, man.

1305
01:30:26,840 --> 01:30:30,000
I'm trying.

1306
01:30:30,000 --> 01:30:36,080
You're working my ass off so that I can afford to live in the nice building up there.

1307
01:30:36,080 --> 01:30:38,280
Same as you.

1308
01:30:38,280 --> 01:30:40,600
As he talks about, no, I don't want to live.

1309
01:30:40,600 --> 01:30:43,880
I'll glance over at grist.

1310
01:30:43,880 --> 01:30:50,000
You think the rest of everyone isn't?

1311
01:30:50,000 --> 01:30:56,000
Climbing onto ladders every day, hands and knees, scrubbing toilets, hauling trash.

1312
01:30:56,000 --> 01:30:59,440
Three times my own body weight, day in, day out, day in, day out.

1313
01:30:59,440 --> 01:31:00,680
And I'm young enough.

1314
01:31:00,680 --> 01:31:02,880
I'm healthy enough.

1315
01:31:02,880 --> 01:31:04,120
What about the rest of everyone?

1316
01:31:04,120 --> 01:31:06,520
What about Kit?

1317
01:31:06,520 --> 01:31:13,440
She's so old, she can barely stand up by herself, and yet she's still serving soup to everyone.

1318
01:31:13,440 --> 01:31:14,440
She loves it.

1319
01:31:14,440 --> 01:31:19,200
Yeah, she loves feeding everyone, but it's hard work.

1320
01:31:19,200 --> 01:31:25,200
Everyone else works just as hard as you, maybe even harder.

1321
01:31:25,200 --> 01:31:26,200
And what?

1322
01:31:26,200 --> 01:31:30,800
They're gonna be stuck under the plates?

1323
01:31:30,800 --> 01:31:34,200
In the shadow of your fancy condos?

1324
01:31:34,200 --> 01:31:40,760
Look, first of all, I don't know who the fuck Kit is.

1325
01:31:40,760 --> 01:31:43,720
Is that a person here in this room?

1326
01:31:43,720 --> 01:31:44,720
And second of all-

1327
01:31:44,720 --> 01:31:46,080
Of course you don't.

1328
01:31:46,080 --> 01:31:51,800
You don't know who she is, but she is the person that delivered your food today.

1329
01:31:51,800 --> 01:31:54,320
Oh, my soup!

1330
01:31:54,320 --> 01:31:55,320
Fuck!

1331
01:31:55,320 --> 01:31:59,880
Oh, that's why I'm so hungry.

1332
01:31:59,880 --> 01:32:00,880
Not the burp.

1333
01:32:00,880 --> 01:32:03,840
The burp that tastes like nothing coming out.

1334
01:32:03,840 --> 01:32:08,200
I also, I didn't plan this.

1335
01:32:08,200 --> 01:32:11,880
This isn't- I just work for SETA.

1336
01:32:11,880 --> 01:32:15,800
I'm just making my money.

1337
01:32:15,800 --> 01:32:22,560
There's- I didn't draft the plans, I didn't pitch the construction plan, I didn't pass

1338
01:32:22,560 --> 01:32:25,400
the budget, and I didn't run for mayor.

1339
01:32:25,400 --> 01:32:29,800
I am just a guy that does a job.

1340
01:32:29,800 --> 01:32:36,040
Someone who's just doing a job sounds awfully defensive of you.

1341
01:32:36,040 --> 01:32:37,640
We'll table that for now.

1342
01:32:37,640 --> 01:32:40,720
What's going on with your hand there?

1343
01:32:40,720 --> 01:32:44,800
As far as I know, your hand aren't supposed to grow like that.

1344
01:32:44,800 --> 01:32:45,920
When did that happen?

1345
01:32:45,920 --> 01:32:48,880
They're testing things out in research and development.

1346
01:32:48,880 --> 01:32:50,640
I volunteered.

1347
01:32:50,640 --> 01:32:58,920
It's just like, you know, just testing out what we're all capable of.

1348
01:32:58,920 --> 01:33:02,600
It's no big deal.

1349
01:33:02,600 --> 01:33:03,600
No big deal?

1350
01:33:03,600 --> 01:33:09,440
Excuse me, my friend, and I'll look over at Apex.

1351
01:33:09,440 --> 01:33:11,800
Is it no big deal?

1352
01:33:11,800 --> 01:33:13,880
No, it's a huge deal.

1353
01:33:13,880 --> 01:33:20,280
You're literally evolving yourself in a biological way, or in potentially non-biological ways.

1354
01:33:20,280 --> 01:33:30,400
For example, it seems like they were isolating the way to combine it with your body biologically

1355
01:33:30,400 --> 01:33:32,880
through more of a science focus.

1356
01:33:32,880 --> 01:33:38,360
When- well, you won't remember this, but I'm shocked they didn't take more of an

1357
01:33:38,360 --> 01:33:39,680
eldritch focus.

1358
01:33:39,680 --> 01:33:45,200
They're trying to do it scientifically so that it could be replicated and produced and

1359
01:33:45,200 --> 01:33:46,200
sold, you know?

1360
01:33:46,200 --> 01:33:53,000
And then I do that unhinged jaw and then pouring acid mouth thing.

1361
01:33:53,000 --> 01:33:58,920
Look, I don't understand.

1362
01:33:58,920 --> 01:34:02,040
Film guy, what is it that you want?

1363
01:34:02,040 --> 01:34:05,880
You want me to say you can make your film however you want?

1364
01:34:05,880 --> 01:34:07,200
You don't have to put the ads in?

1365
01:34:07,200 --> 01:34:16,000
Is that- I don't want to die in some podunk sauna.

1366
01:34:16,000 --> 01:34:22,800
You are helping me make my movie right now.

1367
01:34:22,800 --> 01:34:25,560
Yeah, that's what I've been doing.

1368
01:34:25,560 --> 01:34:28,960
No, like, now.

1369
01:34:28,960 --> 01:34:39,760
I was fucking- I had such a set idea and then you told me to make something else and now

1370
01:34:39,760 --> 01:34:46,440
I fucking know that I don't need to fucking- I don't need your money.

1371
01:34:46,440 --> 01:34:50,200
I just need the people that care.

1372
01:34:50,200 --> 01:34:51,200
Okay.

1373
01:34:51,200 --> 01:34:53,720
Okay, fine.

1374
01:34:53,720 --> 01:34:57,640
You're, uh, you don't have to work with me anymore.

1375
01:34:57,640 --> 01:35:01,880
You make your movie however you want.

1376
01:35:01,880 --> 01:35:04,960
We'll find someone else.

1377
01:35:04,960 --> 01:35:07,080
Someone else wants to make money.

1378
01:35:07,080 --> 01:35:13,000
Now, there's no shortage of people to take advantage of.

1379
01:35:13,000 --> 01:35:15,240
We've seen it all happen before.

1380
01:35:15,240 --> 01:35:18,680
I mean, you yourself are being taken advantage of.

1381
01:35:18,680 --> 01:35:22,160
You can't quite seem to see it.

1382
01:35:22,160 --> 01:35:23,920
Hmm.

1383
01:35:23,920 --> 01:35:29,240
Um, my friend and I'll look over at Apex.

1384
01:35:29,240 --> 01:35:33,680
You seem very, very adept with chemicals and whatnot.

1385
01:35:33,680 --> 01:35:39,400
Is there any way to make, um, my friend Merrick here forget this ever happened?

1386
01:35:39,400 --> 01:35:40,400
Absolutely.

1387
01:35:40,400 --> 01:35:41,400
I'm curious.

1388
01:35:41,400 --> 01:35:50,280
What do you know about any grand scale plans?

1389
01:35:50,280 --> 01:35:54,240
And then he like gets real close.

1390
01:35:54,240 --> 01:35:57,880
I know you know about construction.

1391
01:35:57,880 --> 01:36:01,520
You're too weasel-y to not.

1392
01:36:01,520 --> 01:36:05,960
You might not know much though, where would they keep information like that?

1393
01:36:05,960 --> 01:36:12,000
You being up in his face and correct me if I'm wrong, but you still don't have the mask

1394
01:36:12,000 --> 01:36:13,000
on correct?

1395
01:36:13,000 --> 01:36:14,000
Correct.

1396
01:36:14,000 --> 01:36:15,520
I want him to know that I can.

1397
01:36:15,520 --> 01:36:16,520
Okay, great.

1398
01:36:16,520 --> 01:36:18,560
That's coming across.

1399
01:36:18,560 --> 01:36:32,120
And he kind of squirms into himself in the corner and says, look, the CEO and the mayor,

1400
01:36:32,120 --> 01:36:35,320
they have a conference room.

1401
01:36:35,320 --> 01:36:38,080
They they talk about everything there.

1402
01:36:38,080 --> 01:36:39,800
They keep everything there.

1403
01:36:39,800 --> 01:36:42,800
And I mean, it's in the building.

1404
01:36:42,800 --> 01:36:44,480
We were we were just there.

1405
01:36:44,480 --> 01:36:46,440
I unless he blew it up.

1406
01:36:46,440 --> 01:36:49,960
He didn't blow it up, right?

1407
01:36:49,960 --> 01:36:50,960
Not yet.

1408
01:36:50,960 --> 01:36:54,960
Well, anyway, it's it's all there.

1409
01:36:54,960 --> 01:36:56,520
I just worked for them.

1410
01:36:56,520 --> 01:36:59,680
That's it.

1411
01:36:59,680 --> 01:37:08,560
So Marcus, um, you're gonna do me a favor.

1412
01:37:08,560 --> 01:37:14,840
I'm going to make you a nice cocktail and you're going to willingly drink it and you're

1413
01:37:14,840 --> 01:37:23,560
going to wake up and forget enough and feel like you just had a wicked hangover.

1414
01:37:23,560 --> 01:37:30,080
And then you're going to wake up and go back to your job to be the best grime on the wall

1415
01:37:30,080 --> 01:37:31,080
you can.

1416
01:37:31,080 --> 01:37:34,080
How does that sound?

1417
01:37:34,080 --> 01:37:35,560
Fine.

1418
01:37:35,560 --> 01:37:38,920
Yes, it does.

1419
01:37:38,920 --> 01:37:43,840
And I boop his nose with like one of the claws on my glove.

1420
01:37:43,840 --> 01:37:47,720
He drinks the concoction you make for him.

1421
01:37:47,720 --> 01:37:55,000
You are checked on periodically by the keepers of this of this log.

1422
01:37:55,000 --> 01:38:06,120
And a weird, quiet before the storm feeling is ever present within just this basement.

1423
01:38:06,120 --> 01:38:11,440
This is part three in a four part mini series in the Adamless universe called Saga.
