1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:07,000
Peaceful, kind, neighborly. That's just who we are.

2
00:00:07,000 --> 00:00:12,000
We know you love SAGA, and we want to make sure it stays that way.

3
00:00:12,000 --> 00:00:18,000
Sign up to join SAGA's first ever Global Task Force for Peace.

4
00:00:18,000 --> 00:00:34,000
Join the Lawmen Academy in its first year, because this planet is worth it.

5
00:00:34,000 --> 00:00:48,000
There are news reports tickering about on every screen in town about a heinous break-in at Seda Unmentioned's main corporation building.

6
00:00:48,000 --> 00:01:07,000
It is being portrayed as a robbery attempt, an attempt by a rival company to get sensitive research and development information in an effort to compete with Seda Unmentioned, and that is just not going to stand.

7
00:01:07,000 --> 00:01:14,000
As a matter of fact, the authorities are searching that company's offices right now, and I'm sure that they'll find something.

8
00:01:14,000 --> 00:01:21,000
It seems like this is an open and shut case as far as the news reports are saying.

9
00:01:21,000 --> 00:01:30,000
You spent the night in the hide-and-seek lounge. You were taken well care of, provided food and shelter for the evening.

10
00:01:30,000 --> 00:01:41,000
And the next day, more or less, especially in town, things are relatively normal.

11
00:01:41,000 --> 00:01:53,000
There is an air about things that is unsettling, amplified by the fact that construction has begun on the very first plate.

12
00:01:53,000 --> 00:02:10,000
It is a towering structure overhead, not too far from where you are, actually just sort of at the border of where the big city becomes taller and brighter.

13
00:02:10,000 --> 00:02:21,000
There is a massive electronic crane-like thing that is holding out this big, massive sheet metal.

14
00:02:21,000 --> 00:02:32,000
There's also some magic being used to hold it up while the construction takes place, and it's a concertable effort to start building this thing.

15
00:02:32,000 --> 00:02:36,000
But construction's moving fairly quickly with the very first one.

16
00:02:36,000 --> 00:02:41,000
It's a dream come true. I've spent the night at hide-and-seek lounge and almost live here.

17
00:02:41,000 --> 00:02:43,000
Almost. It's almost like living here.

18
00:02:43,000 --> 00:02:54,000
And so I think one of the first things is going up to the main lodge area and having just a nice breakfast.

19
00:02:54,000 --> 00:03:02,000
If Calico comes by, I'd like to stop Calico for a quick conversation as I'm having my meal.

20
00:03:02,000 --> 00:03:11,000
Miss Calico, hello. If I can have a moment of your time.

21
00:03:11,000 --> 00:03:16,000
Oh, of course, Winston. A moment of my time, that's free for you.

22
00:03:16,000 --> 00:03:23,000
Everything is going swimmingly, and it's all thanks to you and your kindness and your hospitality.

23
00:03:23,000 --> 00:03:36,000
I just wanted to extend my thank you and my gratitude. And if there's any way, anywhere I can repay the favor, please, you just let me know.

24
00:03:36,000 --> 00:03:46,000
I'm quite good at very many things and would like to offer my services to the hide-and-seek lounge pro bono if you ever need it.

25
00:03:46,000 --> 00:03:48,000
You just need to ask.

26
00:03:48,000 --> 00:03:56,000
Well, I hate to say this, but there's a pretty good chance that we'll have to ask you.

27
00:03:56,000 --> 00:03:58,000
Is everything okay, Miss Calico?

28
00:03:58,000 --> 00:04:11,000
Well, it's just with all this construction business and all the prices going up and, you know, all these businesses getting all these letters and it's just hard to...

29
00:04:11,000 --> 00:04:23,000
Well, I really want to keep this place and I figure if we've got a fancy lawyer on our side, then, you know, maybe we've got a better shot than most.

30
00:04:23,000 --> 00:04:31,000
Oh, then of course, I know all the ins and outs. It's my job to understand their policies and their law.

31
00:04:31,000 --> 00:04:37,000
There'll be definitely something that we can use. And again, you have my services when that day comes.

32
00:04:37,000 --> 00:04:45,000
Well, in that case, then, you have my basement whenever you need it.

33
00:04:45,000 --> 00:04:51,000
I love this place and I just hope that comes through.

34
00:04:51,000 --> 00:04:55,000
It sure does, Winston. It sure does.

35
00:04:55,000 --> 00:05:13,000
She sets you up nice with a nice breakfast, clean clothes. In fact, anyone of you who needs it can get your things washed and, you know, have as much time to get ready as you need.

36
00:05:13,000 --> 00:05:39,000
Sebastian bounce pretty early in the morning or like is hasn't gone all the way back to the city, but has stepped out of the lodge and is looking at the plate and like recording the plate being set.

37
00:05:39,000 --> 00:05:49,000
And even though it's like it's so far away from them, they can still see it.

38
00:05:49,000 --> 00:06:03,000
It looks like they're filming the sun, but this plate like moves in front of it and casts a wide part of the park in a shadow.

39
00:06:03,000 --> 00:06:21,000
They've just spent their days getting different, almost you could call it B roll footage of the park and then picking up actually hasn't been interviewing people that much, but is is mainly recording the like the reactions of people.

40
00:06:21,000 --> 00:06:30,000
I think since it's getting set up, there is a lot of people just staring at it, staring at this huge installation.

41
00:06:30,000 --> 00:06:37,000
There's several different kinds of reactions you see.

42
00:06:37,000 --> 00:06:43,000
There are some people who are just impressed as they walk by.

43
00:06:43,000 --> 00:06:55,000
This is a feat of mechanical and magical construction you see some people just sort of marvel at it and and watch the process take place.

44
00:06:55,000 --> 00:07:05,000
After all, right now there's just like one little spot of of grass that's overcast.

45
00:07:05,000 --> 00:07:09,000
Overall, this is pretty interesting.

46
00:07:09,000 --> 00:07:30,000
But it's it's more when you see the local shop keeps and people who live nearby walking out and seeing the shadow as it sort of appears and the looming towering presence of the construction itself.

47
00:07:30,000 --> 00:07:59,000
And there is a mixture of like a kind of fear of the unknown not sure what this means and confusion and maybe just sort of like despair for some people like a well I guess this is this is the next thing.

48
00:07:59,000 --> 00:08:14,000
Apex is researching public records of the buildings construction to essentially just try to map out a layout of where we need to go.

49
00:08:14,000 --> 00:08:26,000
How many staircases they are, what things are electrical versus manual, where the emergency exits are in case of a hypothetical fire.

50
00:08:26,000 --> 00:08:51,000
I am going to say that you have a lot of input from switch, who has been in some of the tighter areas of that building literal vents and and much smaller spaces and can give you like some alternative roots as well and add some bits and pieces to your map.

51
00:08:51,000 --> 00:09:00,000
I think because grist also literally works at the building, and is custodial staff and would know about service entrances and exits and like all like the back rooms and storage areas to.

52
00:09:00,000 --> 00:09:11,000
I figure maybe there's like a moment where we see her like sort of like looking over your shoulder at maybe like a data pad, and like her face is completely blank, but then she just sort of lifts a finger and says, there.

53
00:09:11,000 --> 00:09:15,000
It's not on the map but there's a service tunnel right there.

54
00:09:15,000 --> 00:09:44,000
And she like nausea and then lowers her arm. And I don't like going next about what grist is up to. I think there's kind of like a little bit of a montage as grist is just sort of milling around like the break areas at the base of the set of unmentioned building where all the workers go on their lunch break, like they step out onto like a balcony take a smoke break or they like go to this little like dumpling shop at like the corner of the street that's super cheap that like all the workers from like set on mentioned go where they're on their on their break.

55
00:09:44,000 --> 00:10:13,000
Or whatnot, and we sort of see her like she's mingling around trying to talk to people whose shifts schedules she's familiar with, and trying to convince them to like, you know, just instead of patrolling just sort of stay at the end of the hallway for maybe like a couple of hours during this specific block, right and she's not pulling rank, but is trying to use whatever social currency she has as like one of the staff, because I think she has a pretty reliable reputation and she's always usually very, very reliable.

56
00:10:13,000 --> 00:10:21,000
She's always usually very, if kind of standoffish, still very reliable, and is always the one to like pick up a shift if someone's sick, or like step up and whatnot.

57
00:10:21,000 --> 00:10:31,000
Perfect. There's several people that you recognize and you get a good rhythm for for how the shift change goes here.

58
00:10:31,000 --> 00:10:53,000
At one point, you do see Marek leaving the building, sees your face he looks similar to how he looked the other day that kind of baggy eyed, tired slumped look, sees you just tries to continue on.

59
00:10:53,000 --> 00:11:01,000
Yeah, I'm also going to hope that the apex's cocktail helped with with the situation as well.

60
00:11:01,000 --> 00:11:07,000
He is being, you just get the feeling that he's being very compliant right now.

61
00:11:07,000 --> 00:11:22,000
Gris is not much for subterfuge, but she does sort of like look at him out of the side of their eye kind of awkwardly and do they try to affect a reassuring nod like, you know, if you keep your mouth shut, we'll keep our mouth shut about you as well but I think it comes off as like, like really intimidating.

62
00:11:22,000 --> 00:11:37,000
Yeah, it's definitely like he's already in a kind of scared kind of place so he just like recoils and continues walking speed walking back to his apartment.

63
00:11:37,000 --> 00:11:53,000
When we all do eventually reconvene grist on her way back has like a big old like a kind of like plastic soft satchel of stuff there's like stuff that she's bringing back, like hawked over one shoulder.

64
00:11:53,000 --> 00:11:57,000
She's whistling a little bit of a tune as she's returning to the meeting place.

65
00:11:57,000 --> 00:12:10,000
So I think Nim woke up before everyone else. And she decided to go to comfort cups.

66
00:12:10,000 --> 00:12:18,000
They kind of found comfort in that place.

67
00:12:18,000 --> 00:12:22,000
And so,

68
00:12:22,000 --> 00:12:34,000
exactly. Um, and, and so she just also wanted to like check on kit to see how she was doing and kind of sit with her for as long as she could.

69
00:12:34,000 --> 00:12:41,000
But I think in the midst of being there.

70
00:12:41,000 --> 00:13:02,000
If you kind of look at him from an outside perspective, her skin is starting to lose its color, a little bit. The stars that were kind of like in her eyes, because she has these galaxies in them are starting to dim, and they're starting to look a little more black.

71
00:13:02,000 --> 00:13:11,000
The thing that was kind of happening in the beginning with the feathers kind of just trickling down from her wings.

72
00:13:11,000 --> 00:13:23,000
It's starting to happen more frequently you're starting to see more spots in her wings. There's like a slight sheen of just sweat on her skin. She looks very sickly.

73
00:13:23,000 --> 00:13:43,000
The way she's acting, you can kind of sense that there's a little bit of exhaustion, because Nim is the kind of person to not really show emotion, but you can sort of hear the strain in her voice starting to make its way in.

74
00:13:43,000 --> 00:14:07,000
Nim, at Comfort Cups. Jimet is lovely and loves taking care of people, but Kit is sort of the heart and soul that that built this place and, and has this sort of like, just sort of warm parental in not a condescending way and just that like natural caregiver type of way,

75
00:14:07,000 --> 00:14:32,000
and sees you showing these signs of what one who who doesn't know what you are would detect as, you know, illness like the you know something like a call you're coming down with what's going around, and will come out to you with, you know, some very piping hot ramen,

76
00:14:32,000 --> 00:14:42,000
and will take your temperature, the motherly way by like kissing your forehead. And is, is Nim warm?

77
00:14:42,000 --> 00:14:44,000
Abnormally so, yeah.

78
00:14:44,000 --> 00:14:54,000
Dear, you're coming down with something so I'm gonna insist you have all of the broth in this at least, and-

79
00:14:54,000 --> 00:14:57,000
I'm okay, I promise.

80
00:14:57,000 --> 00:15:07,000
Well, you might feel okay, but if you over exert yourself I, it might come back at you, three or four times over.

81
00:15:07,000 --> 00:15:10,000
I don't want you to have to worry about me.

82
00:15:10,000 --> 00:15:17,000
That's my job in this town. The real one.

83
00:15:17,000 --> 00:15:30,000
Okay. And she reaches up and just starts like, slowly eating the broth as best as she can.

84
00:15:30,000 --> 00:15:35,000
Drinking this broth in this moment.

85
00:15:35,000 --> 00:15:42,000
I would like to just say, like, even though

86
00:15:42,000 --> 00:15:50,000
eating is not like a sustaining thing that you necessarily feel you need,

87
00:15:50,000 --> 00:16:08,000
there is like the feeling of like individual moments of comfort, as this sparks like a familiarity in every single little voice that echoes throughout you.

88
00:16:08,000 --> 00:16:24,000
They all remember that kind of caregiver, that kind of love, that kind of warmth, as the warmth of the broth goes down and inside you.

89
00:16:24,000 --> 00:16:29,000
And you feel that sort of echo throughout all of them.

90
00:16:29,000 --> 00:16:34,000
So she just closes her eyes and kind of takes that in for a second.

91
00:16:34,000 --> 00:16:37,000
Thank you, Kat. I appreciate it.

92
00:16:37,000 --> 00:16:42,000
No trouble. I assure you.

93
00:16:42,000 --> 00:16:45,000
Okay, many more to make.

94
00:16:45,000 --> 00:17:02,000
So I think Nym is probably not going to eat all the broth, but probably like half of it before she kind of pushes herself up to stand.

95
00:17:02,000 --> 00:17:11,000
She probably knows that Grist is at the building, so she's going to start making her way towards there.

96
00:17:11,000 --> 00:17:24,000
And as she's walking, they kind of keep their eyes on like one point in front of them, like when someone is like trying to focus and trying to not waver, seemingly,

97
00:17:24,000 --> 00:17:34,000
and also to keep her footing from not falling over, she's just going to keep walking as determined as she can.

98
00:17:34,000 --> 00:17:45,000
I think I think at some point, Winston would go find Sebastian while you're out there filmmaking and stuff.

99
00:17:45,000 --> 00:17:52,000
And for a bit, just kind of observe you working, hoping that you don't see.

100
00:17:52,000 --> 00:18:05,000
And at some point when it looks like you are either wrapping up or moving on to the next point to film another thing,

101
00:18:05,000 --> 00:18:08,000
I'll walk up.

102
00:18:08,000 --> 00:18:16,000
You look much more inspired than you did yesterday when you were filming.

103
00:18:16,000 --> 00:18:25,000
Well, I think I just found something else to be inspired by.

104
00:18:25,000 --> 00:18:28,000
A new purpose.

105
00:18:28,000 --> 00:18:47,000
Yeah, you know, I've before I was, you know, making something just so people can like see what their lives are like,

106
00:18:47,000 --> 00:18:59,000
and now the people can see Saga and now I feel like we are helping people find meaning.

107
00:18:59,000 --> 00:19:07,000
The even the most mundane life that someone has it.

108
00:19:07,000 --> 00:19:11,000
It's important.

109
00:19:11,000 --> 00:19:22,000
We're united by that. I feel like we will be maybe it's kind of an idea I'm planning around.

110
00:19:22,000 --> 00:19:24,000
Thank you.

111
00:19:24,000 --> 00:19:29,000
I like no, no need to thank me.

112
00:19:29,000 --> 00:19:33,000
I was very desperate for this money.

113
00:19:33,000 --> 00:19:37,000
I just needed a win.

114
00:19:37,000 --> 00:19:47,000
So I did just accept everything and I ignored all the dreadful points.

115
00:19:47,000 --> 00:19:51,000
And if you weren't there,

116
00:19:51,000 --> 00:19:59,000
I would be making something that would have not a shred of me in it.

117
00:19:59,000 --> 00:20:19,000
Can I tell you something? Mere hours before you and I first met, I was trying to get trying to see if anyone if there was any little bit of chance that someone else would be assigned to be your legal guide.

118
00:20:19,000 --> 00:20:25,000
And I am so glad that I failed in trying to find a replacement.

119
00:20:25,000 --> 00:20:28,000
I'm very glad you failed as well.

120
00:20:28,000 --> 00:20:40,000
Whatever happens after tonight, I just want you to promise that you do not stop making

121
00:20:40,000 --> 00:20:45,000
telling the story that you want to tell.

122
00:20:45,000 --> 00:20:50,000
Because this is just one story.

123
00:20:50,000 --> 00:20:56,000
I'm sure you have many more.

124
00:20:56,000 --> 00:20:59,000
Okay, I we haven't known each other very long.

125
00:20:59,000 --> 00:21:03,000
And you've seen me be very, very excited about things.

126
00:21:03,000 --> 00:21:06,000
And you've also seen me freak out and panic.

127
00:21:06,000 --> 00:21:09,000
I'm not good at words.

128
00:21:09,000 --> 00:21:12,000
I like to film stuff and then take it and edit it.

129
00:21:12,000 --> 00:21:19,000
So please bear that in mind.

130
00:21:19,000 --> 00:21:27,000
I whatever we do end up doing.

131
00:21:27,000 --> 00:21:35,000
I need I need your heart to stay the same.

132
00:21:35,000 --> 00:21:38,000
You don't know who I am at all.

133
00:21:38,000 --> 00:21:40,000
Look at this lodge.

134
00:21:40,000 --> 00:21:45,000
That is full of people that you've helped.

135
00:21:45,000 --> 00:21:55,000
You've helped me with things that I would never be able to understand, even though in your own words, you didn't want to.

136
00:21:55,000 --> 00:21:58,000
You're very brave.

137
00:21:58,000 --> 00:22:00,000
Stood up to everyone.

138
00:22:00,000 --> 00:22:01,000
And it's best stood up.

139
00:22:01,000 --> 00:22:07,000
I mean, you took an elevator down and I know that doesn't seem like a big deal, but I couldn't handle it.

140
00:22:07,000 --> 00:22:11,000
You are kind of what this film's about.

141
00:22:11,000 --> 00:22:20,000
Your individuality and your bravery and trust and truth and you are community.

142
00:22:20,000 --> 00:22:25,000
Remember, no matter what else you do with your life.

143
00:22:25,000 --> 00:22:40,000
These past few weeks, this thing that I put a lot of my heart and my soul into and I handed to you, you cared for and warmed it up and made sure other people didn't destroy it

144
00:22:40,000 --> 00:22:43,000
and then handed it back.

145
00:22:43,000 --> 00:22:46,000
Appreciate it.

146
00:22:46,000 --> 00:22:49,000
You're welcome.

147
00:22:49,000 --> 00:22:55,000
From the very bottom of my heart, you are welcome.

148
00:22:55,000 --> 00:22:57,000
I think Comfort Cups is still open if you want to.

149
00:22:57,000 --> 00:22:59,000
Sure. Yeah, absolutely.

150
00:22:59,000 --> 00:23:04,000
I think they're probably just getting started on the lunch.

151
00:23:04,000 --> 00:23:08,000
I still have a blank credit chip, so it's on me.

152
00:23:08,000 --> 00:23:20,000
You do. Speaking of that, about midway through the day, Winston and Sebastian, you both get a text from Merrick.

153
00:23:20,000 --> 00:23:21,000
It's a group text.

154
00:23:21,000 --> 00:23:24,000
It says, I'm off the project.

155
00:23:24,000 --> 00:23:26,000
Keep the credits.

156
00:23:26,000 --> 00:23:30,000
Make the movie.

157
00:23:30,000 --> 00:23:32,000
Nothing else.

158
00:23:32,000 --> 00:23:35,000
Text them back.

159
00:23:35,000 --> 00:23:40,000
Thank you.

160
00:23:40,000 --> 00:23:51,000
Would you like an interview?

161
00:23:51,000 --> 00:23:56,000
And then after that, I heard it pays really well.

162
00:23:56,000 --> 00:24:01,000
He texts back after a while.

163
00:24:01,000 --> 00:24:06,000
Like you've gotten your food and probably halfway through eating it.

164
00:24:06,000 --> 00:24:13,000
And he'll say, can't meet at my old office.

165
00:24:13,000 --> 00:24:16,000
Where's my address?

166
00:24:16,000 --> 00:24:18,000
After dark, please.

167
00:24:18,000 --> 00:24:23,000
Double taps the message so there's a little heart comes up as a react.

168
00:24:23,000 --> 00:24:25,000
Nim.

169
00:24:25,000 --> 00:24:31,000
You'll see Gris sort of coming down the street and she's got this like plastic bag of something.

170
00:24:31,000 --> 00:24:32,000
It's hard to tell.

171
00:24:32,000 --> 00:24:36,000
It looks like maybe their clothes sort of like slung over a shoulder.

172
00:24:36,000 --> 00:24:38,000
And she sees you.

173
00:24:38,000 --> 00:24:39,000
Nim.

174
00:24:39,000 --> 00:24:42,000
There you are. I was just on my way back to the group.

175
00:24:42,000 --> 00:24:50,000
Her eyes are still fixated on the point that she's been looking at.

176
00:24:50,000 --> 00:24:57,000
She and she she's saying something under her breath, but you can't really understand what it is.

177
00:24:57,000 --> 00:24:59,000
I'm almost there.

178
00:24:59,000 --> 00:25:01,000
And then.

179
00:25:01,000 --> 00:25:08,000
Hey, hey, her eyes just slowly.

180
00:25:08,000 --> 00:25:09,000
Hi, Chris.

181
00:25:09,000 --> 00:25:13,000
Hey, kid. You don't look so good.

182
00:25:13,000 --> 00:25:14,000
I'm okay.

183
00:25:14,000 --> 00:25:20,000
No, you look worse than you did yesterday. What's what's going on? Is it is it is it a cold?

184
00:25:20,000 --> 00:25:23,000
Can you even get colds?

185
00:25:23,000 --> 00:25:24,000
I don't think so.

186
00:25:24,000 --> 00:25:29,000
You're malting. What is that? Your feathers are you've got patches.

187
00:25:29,000 --> 00:25:31,000
Don't worry about me.

188
00:25:31,000 --> 00:25:34,000
Don't.

189
00:25:34,000 --> 00:25:36,000
Where's everyone meeting?

190
00:25:36,000 --> 00:25:39,000
I think we're meeting back at the lodge unless.

191
00:25:39,000 --> 00:25:50,000
Well, they got me to join what is known as a group text. So unless someone groups the text, that's last I know.

192
00:25:50,000 --> 00:25:51,000
I don't know what that is.

193
00:25:51,000 --> 00:25:54,000
Me neither. I have no idea.

194
00:25:54,000 --> 00:26:03,000
But, Nim, you can't just say I shouldn't worry about you. Look at you. This is the worst I've seen you ever.

195
00:26:03,000 --> 00:26:08,000
Not really. It's I'm sure it'll pass. I'll be fine.

196
00:26:08,000 --> 00:26:18,000
If Grist moves forward and touches your forehead with the flat of her palm, kind of like how Kit had, you're burning.

197
00:26:18,000 --> 00:26:20,000
What do you mean?

198
00:26:20,000 --> 00:26:39,000
I mean, Bri, I want you to tell me like because you know how much you, Nim and Grist know each other. Like, are you actually trying to hide something or are you being honest when you are saying that like, it's going to be fine?

199
00:26:39,000 --> 00:26:42,000
I think both.

200
00:26:42,000 --> 00:26:47,000
Because it is going to be okay. But at the same time.

201
00:26:47,000 --> 00:26:53,600
is clearly something that they're definitely hiding from you.

202
00:26:53,600 --> 00:27:02,300
And kind of, like you said, it's never really happened before, with NEM trying to put on

203
00:27:02,300 --> 00:27:07,520
a front to seem like, you know, everything's okay.

204
00:27:07,520 --> 00:27:10,520
Are you in danger?

205
00:27:10,520 --> 00:27:12,520
No.

206
00:27:12,520 --> 00:27:15,520
Are you in pain?

207
00:27:15,520 --> 00:27:17,520
No.

208
00:27:17,520 --> 00:27:19,520
Okay.

209
00:27:19,520 --> 00:27:23,520
Well, then tell me when you're ready, alright?

210
00:27:23,520 --> 00:27:28,520
I don't like not knowing what's going on with you, NEM.

211
00:27:28,520 --> 00:27:31,520
You're the most important thing in my life.

212
00:27:31,520 --> 00:27:34,520
You're all I have left.

213
00:27:34,520 --> 00:27:39,520
You're all that I have, but...

214
00:27:39,520 --> 00:27:44,520
It'll be okay.

215
00:27:44,520 --> 00:27:48,520
If you say so.

216
00:27:48,520 --> 00:27:51,520
You and all of you, you know?

217
00:27:51,520 --> 00:27:53,520
Because it's not just you, right?

218
00:27:53,520 --> 00:27:59,520
I mean, it is you, and that's important, that matters, but it's also them.

219
00:27:59,520 --> 00:28:01,520
All of them.

220
00:28:01,520 --> 00:28:07,520
All of Crassus.

221
00:28:07,520 --> 00:28:11,520
Even your stars are going dark.

222
00:28:11,520 --> 00:28:14,520
They, um...

223
00:28:14,520 --> 00:28:19,520
If it brings you comfort, they...

224
00:28:19,520 --> 00:28:22,520
finally spoke to me.

225
00:28:22,520 --> 00:28:23,520
They did?

226
00:28:23,520 --> 00:28:27,520
Was it Ma or Pa or even the pigs?

227
00:28:27,520 --> 00:28:31,520
What did they say?

228
00:28:31,520 --> 00:28:34,520
They said that they love you.

229
00:28:34,520 --> 00:28:39,520
And...

230
00:28:39,520 --> 00:28:45,520
that you are more than what you make yourself out to be.

231
00:28:45,520 --> 00:28:49,520
So much more.

232
00:28:49,520 --> 00:28:55,520
And you're meant for greatness.

233
00:28:55,520 --> 00:28:58,520
Are you telling the truth?

234
00:28:58,520 --> 00:29:01,520
Mm-hmm.

235
00:29:01,520 --> 00:29:05,520
Grist looks at you, breathless.

236
00:29:05,520 --> 00:29:12,520
Colorless, bleached eyes, wide, with an affect of shock.

237
00:29:12,520 --> 00:29:21,520
And then she steals herself like a fist clenching.

238
00:29:21,520 --> 00:29:23,520
God.

239
00:29:23,520 --> 00:29:29,520
Who knew my Ma and Pa were so fucking sentimental?

240
00:29:29,520 --> 00:29:36,520
I feel like they always have been.

241
00:29:36,520 --> 00:29:40,520
They should have shown it when they were still here.

242
00:29:40,520 --> 00:29:44,520
But I guess they're better than never.

243
00:29:44,520 --> 00:29:46,520
I don't know if they can hear me.

244
00:29:46,520 --> 00:29:51,520
I don't know if you can send a message back to them, but I love them too.

245
00:29:51,520 --> 00:29:54,520
I think about them every day.

246
00:29:54,520 --> 00:29:56,520
I miss them.

247
00:29:56,520 --> 00:29:59,520
Every second, I've never stopped missing them.

248
00:29:59,520 --> 00:30:04,520
It's been three years, and every second I still feel it.

249
00:30:04,520 --> 00:30:06,520
It still hurts.

250
00:30:06,520 --> 00:30:08,520
And I'm still not okay.

251
00:30:08,520 --> 00:30:13,520
But I don't know, hearing that, thank you, Noon.

252
00:30:13,520 --> 00:30:15,520
Thank you for carrying that message.

253
00:30:15,520 --> 00:30:18,520
Thank you for telling me.

254
00:30:18,520 --> 00:30:20,520
Thank you.

255
00:30:20,520 --> 00:30:25,520
Always.

256
00:30:25,520 --> 00:30:28,520
Well, all right, kiddo.

257
00:30:28,520 --> 00:30:34,520
Let's get back to the lodge or comfort cups or wherever the chat group decides to go.

258
00:30:34,520 --> 00:30:37,520
I've got some disguises for us.

259
00:30:37,520 --> 00:30:39,520
Disguises?

260
00:30:39,520 --> 00:30:40,520
You know, for anyone who wants them.

261
00:30:40,520 --> 00:30:41,520
Oh.

262
00:30:41,520 --> 00:30:42,520
Yeah.

263
00:30:42,520 --> 00:30:49,520
You know, some extra, you know, custodial outfits I just took from the wash, from the laundry.

264
00:30:49,520 --> 00:30:54,520
Okay.

265
00:30:54,520 --> 00:31:01,520
I think it's actually switch that messages the group chat first.

266
00:31:01,520 --> 00:31:08,520
To be like, I'm in position, whenever you're ready.

267
00:31:08,520 --> 00:31:25,520
To kind of inform you that they have a sort of sewer entryway to the building, secured and ready to open whenever you're ready.

268
00:31:25,520 --> 00:31:40,520
The rest will be up to you though because they will then be playing distraction at slash alibi.

269
00:31:40,520 --> 00:31:58,520
When you, when you all get to the city and see the building encased in nightfall.

270
00:31:58,520 --> 00:32:04,520
You notice a couple of things.

271
00:32:04,520 --> 00:32:16,520
The saga does not have like, there's, there's like police guards things like that.

272
00:32:16,520 --> 00:32:38,520
But you're noticing these signs for the lawmen are plastered all over the building. And some of them are attached to reports about last night's break in to this very building.

273
00:32:38,520 --> 00:32:42,520
Really encouraging people to sign up.

274
00:32:42,520 --> 00:33:05,520
The normal regular guards present are sort of investigating the area so there is a lot of light around the base of the building there's a lot of like noise and people patrolling, you can see if you look straight up the window that apex climbed out of and crawled down.

275
00:33:05,520 --> 00:33:13,520
That window has like some tape, some like caution tape type barriers around it.

276
00:33:13,520 --> 00:33:26,520
It looks like that particular office and the general area has some places being investigated or, or cautioned off, but the rest of the building looks relatively dark.

277
00:33:26,520 --> 00:33:33,520
You know, it looks very different in the nighttime when no one's around. It's almost eerie or haunted even.

278
00:33:33,520 --> 00:33:35,520
Don't be ridiculous. Ghosts aren't real.

279
00:33:35,520 --> 00:33:42,520
I did not mean to scare you. It's just, it's creepy, you know?

280
00:33:42,520 --> 00:33:46,520
Oh, I'm not scared. Ghosts aren't real.

281
00:33:46,520 --> 00:33:50,520
Ghosts are not real.

282
00:33:50,520 --> 00:34:00,520
So we just need to make our way up to the top office and Apex, you're gonna do your thing.

283
00:34:00,520 --> 00:34:03,520
Yeah, easy.

284
00:34:03,520 --> 00:34:17,520
Switching one of the metals that they're using to connect some of the movable pieces with a metal that is significantly more corrosive and reactive to different chemicals.

285
00:34:17,520 --> 00:34:26,520
So structurally it will appear sound, unless you then pour those things on it, and then it may start to fall apart. Also ghosts are in fact real.

286
00:34:26,520 --> 00:34:29,520
What, like you've met one before?

287
00:34:29,520 --> 00:34:33,520
You remember I mentioned that they should have been using eldritch abilities to change them.

288
00:34:33,520 --> 00:34:35,520
Sure. What is that?

289
00:34:35,520 --> 00:34:37,520
That's what I do.

290
00:34:37,520 --> 00:34:40,520
I believe that means ghosts.

291
00:34:40,520 --> 00:34:41,520
Essentially.

292
00:34:41,520 --> 00:34:45,520
You're telling me you're powered on ghost magic.

293
00:34:45,520 --> 00:34:49,520
You called yourself ghost the first time I met you and you're the hypocrite.

294
00:34:49,520 --> 00:34:55,520
Obviously I wasn't being like, like real about it, you know? What's the word? I didn't mean it.

295
00:34:55,520 --> 00:34:56,520
Oh.

296
00:34:56,520 --> 00:34:59,520
Like physically.

297
00:34:59,520 --> 00:35:02,520
Oh my god, I'm glad I didn't. Never mind.

298
00:35:02,520 --> 00:35:07,520
Come on, back me up here, Nim. Ghosts are totally fake.

299
00:35:07,520 --> 00:35:10,520
You said this person is ageless.

300
00:35:10,520 --> 00:35:11,520
Yeah.

301
00:35:11,520 --> 00:35:19,520
And has like, assumingly, do you have souls in you or something like that?

302
00:35:19,520 --> 00:35:22,520
But that's different from ghosts, okay?

303
00:35:22,520 --> 00:35:28,520
That seems to hurt Griss's brain pretty hard. Like she sort of just squints at you and says,

304
00:35:28,520 --> 00:35:36,520
well, if you can conjure a ghost, you know, one of those like transparent things, then maybe I'll believe it.

305
00:35:36,520 --> 00:35:40,520
Have you ever heard from dead people?

306
00:35:40,520 --> 00:35:45,520
Griss's eyes flick very obviously at Nim.

307
00:35:45,520 --> 00:35:53,520
At Nim, who had just given them a message from their dead parents, not like two hours ago, and then looks back at Apex.

308
00:35:53,520 --> 00:35:55,520
Nim almost looks offended, like.

309
00:35:55,520 --> 00:35:56,520
But that's.

310
00:35:56,520 --> 00:35:57,520
That was a weird reaction.

311
00:35:57,520 --> 00:36:00,520
That's different, Apex.

312
00:36:00,520 --> 00:36:03,520
What do you think ghosts are?

313
00:36:03,520 --> 00:36:14,520
Translucent beings that kind of look like sheets with two holes for an eye and a little squiggly mouth, and they come out of walls and say boo.

314
00:36:14,520 --> 00:36:17,520
Holy shit.

315
00:36:17,520 --> 00:36:24,520
You you kind of have this discussion about ghosts as you crawl through the underground tunnel entrance.

316
00:36:24,520 --> 00:36:28,520
Getting inside the building is fairly easy.

317
00:36:28,520 --> 00:36:33,520
Getting past even the first couple floors is relatively easy.

318
00:36:33,520 --> 00:36:36,520
Once you get up to the fourth level.

319
00:36:36,520 --> 00:36:38,520
There are some trickery involved.

320
00:36:38,520 --> 00:36:40,520
First question.

321
00:36:40,520 --> 00:36:48,520
Sebastian, I just want to know what you're what you're doing.

322
00:36:48,520 --> 00:36:59,520
As you're traveling, because I think that you like, do you do you want to do anything in particular in this in this?

323
00:36:59,520 --> 00:37:15,520
He's got a pretty clear goal in mind, which is when they if they have when they get to like the top like lab construction area, if there's any like loose plans or anything like nefarious, he's going to film it.

324
00:37:15,520 --> 00:37:18,520
He's also being very careful.

325
00:37:18,520 --> 00:37:29,520
As to not film any any of the crew doing nefarious things for use in possible cases against them later, so he's he's keeping pretty.

326
00:37:29,520 --> 00:37:35,520
You are able to get up to the fourth floor very easily.

327
00:37:35,520 --> 00:37:39,520
As I said, up on the fourth floor, there's a lot of noise, commotion.

328
00:37:39,520 --> 00:37:49,520
You can overhear people hypothesizing and making statements.

329
00:37:49,520 --> 00:37:52,520
You hear.

330
00:37:52,520 --> 00:37:59,520
Actually, the voice of a young woman saying like, No, I, I didn't let anybody into the building.

331
00:37:59,520 --> 00:38:04,520
Oh, I mean, like a delivery person came.

332
00:38:04,520 --> 00:38:09,520
And that that's everyone.

333
00:38:09,520 --> 00:38:13,520
No one got in without their identification.

334
00:38:13,520 --> 00:38:16,520
That's that's everything I swear.

335
00:38:16,520 --> 00:38:20,520
I was like, and did you see them leave?

336
00:38:20,520 --> 00:38:25,520
Well, no, but to be fair, my shift was pretty much over after that.

337
00:38:25,520 --> 00:38:28,520
Are we in an elevator? The elevator goes up to like the fourth floor, correct?

338
00:38:28,520 --> 00:38:30,520
Yeah.

339
00:38:30,520 --> 00:38:37,520
Does it just go to the fourth floor? Is there needs to be like a like a fingerprint scan or something to go higher or?

340
00:38:37,520 --> 00:38:43,520
Yes, you will need a badge to get any higher the official way.

341
00:38:43,520 --> 00:38:45,520
Is there a bathroom?

342
00:38:45,520 --> 00:38:47,520
Yes.

343
00:38:47,520 --> 00:38:50,520
One on every floor.

344
00:38:50,520 --> 00:38:53,520
Going to the bathroom.

345
00:38:53,520 --> 00:38:56,520
OK, that's not this is the time.

346
00:38:56,520 --> 00:38:57,520
Do you even have to?

347
00:38:57,520 --> 00:38:59,520
I didn't evolve that differently.

348
00:38:59,520 --> 00:39:03,520
Apex, go and have a try. Go and have a try before we do the operation.

349
00:39:03,520 --> 00:39:10,520
Does anyone else whilst we're here, does anyone else need to have a try just before we do the actual criminal operation?

350
00:39:10,520 --> 00:39:12,520
Just so we're not stopped halfway through.

351
00:39:12,520 --> 00:39:27,520
Apex is in there for maybe 30 seconds to activate his hollow skin and walk out looking like a human man with locks instead wearing a suit.

352
00:39:27,520 --> 00:39:33,520
Oh, nothing to see here. We are custodial staff.

353
00:39:33,520 --> 00:39:35,520
Yes.

354
00:39:35,520 --> 00:39:37,520
Apex?

355
00:39:37,520 --> 00:39:44,520
That is like that is like clean pressed that there's not a wrinkle on that suit, even though you're wearing a jumpsuit over it.

356
00:39:44,520 --> 00:39:47,520
How have you all survived this long?

357
00:39:47,520 --> 00:39:50,520
I make films.

358
00:39:50,520 --> 00:39:56,520
So wait, so is this your real form or is it? Oh, like and and Chris is going to move forward to like.

359
00:39:56,520 --> 00:39:58,520
Put a hand on your shoulder.

360
00:39:58,520 --> 00:40:04,520
It like it goes through and you hit closer to like his hip.

361
00:40:04,520 --> 00:40:06,520
Is it's just a hologram?

362
00:40:06,520 --> 00:40:08,520
Yeah.

363
00:40:08,520 --> 00:40:09,520
Very convincing.

364
00:40:09,520 --> 00:40:11,520
Yeah.

365
00:40:11,520 --> 00:40:17,520
Are you walking straight through or are you going to try to find a more discreet way around?

366
00:40:17,520 --> 00:40:19,520
Are you going to try to do what you did earlier?

367
00:40:19,520 --> 00:40:23,520
I'm going to try to find a more discreet way around because I have weapons.

368
00:40:23,520 --> 00:40:29,520
Mm hmm. Got it. I feel like explosives will set off alarms.

369
00:40:29,520 --> 00:40:40,520
Is it so it's an is it an ID lock or is it like again a fingerprint or like eye scanner that will help this lift go up to?

370
00:40:40,520 --> 00:40:47,520
It is a is it it's an ID lock and only certain classifications of ID can get you up there.

371
00:40:47,520 --> 00:40:48,520
Dang it.

372
00:40:48,520 --> 00:40:54,520
OK. Yeah, my mind only takes us to the fourth floor for some reason.

373
00:40:54,520 --> 00:41:08,520
I'm starting to realize Gabe might have been the only one who when Dylan was like, take what you want.

374
00:41:08,520 --> 00:41:21,520
Yeah, you told me you were an evolutionist. I was like, go ahead, get it all.

375
00:41:21,520 --> 00:41:28,520
Apex, you're I mean, just nimbly walking through Winston.

376
00:41:28,520 --> 00:41:31,520
Surprising. But you're doing you're doing good.

377
00:41:31,520 --> 00:41:36,520
This is pretty high stakes for you, I would say as well.

378
00:41:36,520 --> 00:41:43,520
Nim, I think just as you are walking through, it is interesting.

379
00:41:43,520 --> 00:42:00,520
There is like a a soft but present an audible hum that occasionally starts to come from you.

380
00:42:00,520 --> 00:42:09,520
It is a like audible sound, but it doesn't have like an origin.

381
00:42:09,520 --> 00:42:11,520
It's not like you're making it.

382
00:42:11,520 --> 00:42:20,520
This is a sound that comes from like the wisps that swirl off of you every now and again.

383
00:42:20,520 --> 00:42:36,520
And it is loud enough that it can throw some of you off your footing and startle and cause just a little bit of noise as you're walking through.

384
00:42:36,520 --> 00:42:40,520
And you'll hear from the other side of the hall.

385
00:42:40,520 --> 00:42:42,520
Do you hear that?

386
00:42:42,520 --> 00:42:45,520
Nim, are you making that humming noise?

387
00:42:45,520 --> 00:42:50,520
Are you?

388
00:42:50,520 --> 00:42:54,520
The noise does seem to be coming from you.

389
00:42:54,520 --> 00:43:04,520
Does anyone have like a coat or blanket to like just throw over?

390
00:43:04,520 --> 00:43:07,520
Yeah, I have I have an extra. Yeah.

391
00:43:07,520 --> 00:43:12,520
And Grist like I think has like a big kind of unwieldy satchel with her.

392
00:43:12,520 --> 00:43:20,520
She pulls out one of the extra like custodial jumpsuits and just sort of like like carefully lays it across your shoulders like a robe.

393
00:43:20,520 --> 00:43:28,520
That does sort of like mute and soften the sound that was that was being made.

394
00:43:28,520 --> 00:43:35,520
And after a moment, you hear a couple of footsteps like come up just a little bit closer.

395
00:43:35,520 --> 00:43:46,520
No, no, I don't hear anything and steps back around.

396
00:43:46,520 --> 00:44:01,520
You are able to find your way to the service tunnel that's going to take you up further to the top floor of this building.

397
00:44:01,520 --> 00:44:14,520
There are cameras everywhere up here in absolutely every corner.

398
00:44:14,520 --> 00:44:18,520
You were warned that this would be a difficult one.

399
00:44:18,520 --> 00:44:27,520
It's going to take some really nimble action or some sabotage to get these cameras out of your way.

400
00:44:27,520 --> 00:44:37,520
I am a witch warper, so I have this ability called infinite worlds, and I can basically shift any sense that I want to.

401
00:44:37,520 --> 00:44:50,520
So could I possibly sort of like manipulate the world site so the cameras can see one thing while we're doing another?

402
00:44:50,520 --> 00:45:06,520
Yeah, yeah. Interestingly enough, like this spell as you cast it, which would you like to tell me what it looks like when you when you affect the cameras in this way?

403
00:45:06,520 --> 00:45:27,520
So I think at this point, since those security guards are gone or those people are gone, she takes off the jumpsuit and her wings kind of flutter out a little bit.

404
00:45:27,520 --> 00:45:40,520
And there's sort of this like aura that kind of surrounds her entire body. And she closes her eyes for a second and her hands come out to her side slightly.

405
00:45:40,520 --> 00:45:48,520
And she whispers some sort of chant underneath her breath.

406
00:45:48,520 --> 00:46:01,520
And it's not any language that is known by anyone in this group. It's very ancient, very, very lost language.

407
00:46:01,520 --> 00:46:10,520
And suddenly there's like a burst of energy that everyone can feel in their chest. It's sort of like a soft hit.

408
00:46:10,520 --> 00:46:26,520
And it kind of makes her stumble back a little bit. And she looks up at the cameras and she takes a moment.

409
00:46:26,520 --> 00:46:34,520
And she's like, OK, I think we should be OK.

410
00:46:34,520 --> 00:46:43,520
I took care of the cameras.

411
00:46:43,520 --> 00:46:48,520
Great. Well, if Nym said they did, then they did.

412
00:46:48,520 --> 00:47:06,520
From here, it's the cameras were the biggest issue. The only thing left is the mechanical computerized lock on this CEO's office door.

413
00:47:06,520 --> 00:47:14,520
However, when you walk up to it, instead of voice greets you, hello.

414
00:47:14,520 --> 00:47:18,520
Sebastian immediately starts filming with the big handheld camera they have.

415
00:47:18,520 --> 00:47:23,520
We're here to clean your office.

416
00:47:23,520 --> 00:47:26,520
And the doors slide apart.

417
00:47:26,520 --> 00:47:29,520
I walk in.

418
00:47:29,520 --> 00:47:32,520
Apex, wait.

419
00:47:32,520 --> 00:47:36,520
Hey, hey, my name is Wolf.

420
00:47:36,520 --> 00:47:37,520
Wolf, wait.

421
00:47:37,520 --> 00:47:39,520
Why am I waiting?

422
00:47:39,520 --> 00:47:44,520
Because what if the lasers shoot out of the sky and kill you as soon as you walk in?

423
00:47:44,520 --> 00:47:47,520
Then you'd know there's lasers in the room.

424
00:47:47,520 --> 00:47:49,520
Look, I've died before. This is fine.

425
00:47:49,520 --> 00:47:53,520
I mean, so have I. But I don't want to try it again.

426
00:47:53,520 --> 00:47:55,520
What?

427
00:47:55,520 --> 00:48:02,520
Hey, hey, hey, cut the part where Ghost says my name, Sebastian.

428
00:48:02,520 --> 00:48:06,520
Wait, why do we call him by his name?

429
00:48:06,520 --> 00:48:10,520
Because he's the one freely publicly publishing this film.

430
00:48:10,520 --> 00:48:15,520
Well, now I feel left out. Can I just have a nickname just for this bit? I'll put my name on the thing.

431
00:48:15,520 --> 00:48:16,520
Yeah, hold on a second.

432
00:48:16,520 --> 00:48:19,520
Just give us one second, please.

433
00:48:19,520 --> 00:48:23,520
OK, so I'm Ghost. You're Wolf. That's Sebastian.

434
00:48:23,520 --> 00:48:25,520
Are you still Winston?

435
00:48:25,520 --> 00:48:26,520
Is it Rudin?

436
00:48:26,520 --> 00:48:29,520
I guess they would know you're the Lord.

437
00:48:29,520 --> 00:48:30,520
Oh my God.

438
00:48:30,520 --> 00:48:32,520
So Nim, are you?

439
00:48:32,520 --> 00:48:34,520
We could just call him Bear.

440
00:48:34,520 --> 00:48:36,520
Child. Progenitor.

441
00:48:36,520 --> 00:48:38,520
Progenitor.

442
00:48:38,520 --> 00:48:40,520
Wings.

443
00:48:40,520 --> 00:48:42,520
Wings is fine.

444
00:48:42,520 --> 00:48:44,520
Sky lasers be damned.

445
00:48:44,520 --> 00:48:46,520
Avocan.

446
00:48:46,520 --> 00:48:51,520
There does not seem to be anyone standing in this room at this time.

447
00:48:51,520 --> 00:48:53,520
There's a table in the center.

448
00:48:53,520 --> 00:48:58,520
There are no paper documents necessarily.

449
00:48:58,520 --> 00:49:24,520
But there is a screen up with lots of digital displays of plans, including plans for the upper decks, including plans for research into extending life and enhancing physical abilities, preserving memory.

450
00:49:24,520 --> 00:49:30,520
Everlasting life is definitely all over these plans.

451
00:49:30,520 --> 00:49:38,520
There are budgets for the impending lawmen.

452
00:49:38,520 --> 00:49:49,520
There are budgets for advertising campaigns, including Sebastian's film, which is listed among them.

453
00:49:49,520 --> 00:49:52,520
But there are no people in here.

454
00:49:52,520 --> 00:49:55,520
Come on in.

455
00:49:55,520 --> 00:49:59,520
You're here to destroy my work.

456
00:49:59,520 --> 00:50:01,520
That won't do.

457
00:50:01,520 --> 00:50:06,520
I was expecting this to be a lot harder to break into.

458
00:50:06,520 --> 00:50:12,520
That is the top of the line lock and it's just open for and that voice that.

459
00:50:12,520 --> 00:50:14,520
It's too welcoming.

460
00:50:14,520 --> 00:50:15,520
Look at Sebastian.

461
00:50:15,520 --> 00:50:18,520
I think we might be out of our depth here.

462
00:50:18,520 --> 00:50:22,520
Let's just try to get all the information and do our best.

463
00:50:22,520 --> 00:50:29,520
In the interest of honesty, all of my conversations are recorded on my end.

464
00:50:29,520 --> 00:50:32,520
The doors closed behind you.

465
00:50:32,520 --> 00:50:38,520
There's like the screen on one wall that has all the information I described and up on it.

466
00:50:38,520 --> 00:50:46,520
And on the other side of the wall to your left was previously idle and clicks on.

467
00:50:46,520 --> 00:50:53,520
You see a waveform that moves each time this voice appears again.

468
00:50:53,520 --> 00:50:56,520
My apologies.

469
00:50:56,520 --> 00:50:58,520
Hello.

470
00:50:58,520 --> 00:51:03,520
I am the CEO of Seda Unmentioned.

471
00:51:03,520 --> 00:51:10,520
And you're here to rob me of my precious information.

472
00:51:10,520 --> 00:51:13,520
As stated, that won't do.

473
00:51:13,520 --> 00:51:16,520
I don't think we were going to rob it, right?

474
00:51:16,520 --> 00:51:20,520
Hey, but Wolfie said you were just gonna you're gonna mess with it.

475
00:51:20,520 --> 00:51:24,520
Do you really think this is the time to have this conversation?

476
00:51:24,520 --> 00:51:28,520
I'm sorry.

477
00:51:28,520 --> 00:51:32,520
I have no intent to kill you.

478
00:51:32,520 --> 00:51:34,520
I will.

479
00:51:34,520 --> 00:51:37,520
She's gonna try to stand protectively in front of him.

480
00:51:37,520 --> 00:51:40,520
But that is not my intent.

481
00:51:40,520 --> 00:51:44,520
I can offer you anything you would like.

482
00:51:44,520 --> 00:51:46,520
Can you stop the plate project then?

483
00:51:46,520 --> 00:51:50,520
Or make it so everyone gets on?

484
00:51:50,520 --> 00:51:51,520
No.

485
00:51:51,520 --> 00:51:53,520
Oh.

486
00:51:53,520 --> 00:51:55,520
Thank you for your suggestion though.

487
00:51:55,520 --> 00:51:58,520
Well, why not?

488
00:51:58,520 --> 00:52:06,520
That would not be advantageous to Seda Unmentioned as a company or Saga as an Imperial Nation.

489
00:52:06,520 --> 00:52:13,520
I don't know what those words mean, but what I do know is I've been working here for the past two and a half years.

490
00:52:13,520 --> 00:52:17,520
I've seen how much money you guys have.

491
00:52:17,520 --> 00:52:18,520
So much of it.

492
00:52:18,520 --> 00:52:20,520
Enough to give everyone.

493
00:52:20,520 --> 00:52:22,520
Enough so everyone has a slice of the pie.

494
00:52:22,520 --> 00:52:32,520
Enough so everyone can crumble their cookies and have group chats and eat all kinds of noodles and noodlies and anything they want.

495
00:52:32,520 --> 00:52:34,520
You have enough.

496
00:52:34,520 --> 00:52:36,520
How is that not advantageous?

497
00:52:36,520 --> 00:52:39,520
Wouldn't that take care of the people of Saga?

498
00:52:39,520 --> 00:52:41,520
Only so much.

499
00:52:41,520 --> 00:52:47,520
We want Saga to go further than that.

500
00:52:47,520 --> 00:52:49,520
Further?

501
00:52:49,520 --> 00:52:54,520
What does that mean?

502
00:52:54,520 --> 00:52:57,520
We want to fund the most expensive research.

503
00:52:57,520 --> 00:53:06,520
The most incredible advancements of science, technology, of knowledge and intellect.

504
00:53:06,520 --> 00:53:18,520
And we want Saga to be known to be the most wealthy and advantageous planet in the galaxy.

505
00:53:18,520 --> 00:53:22,520
And this is the most efficient way to do that.

506
00:53:22,520 --> 00:53:27,520
I've done the calculations as CEO.

507
00:53:27,520 --> 00:53:28,520
Are you organic?

508
00:53:28,520 --> 00:53:34,520
Wolfie, you can't just ask someone that.

509
00:53:34,520 --> 00:53:36,520
I don't know how it feels.

510
00:53:36,520 --> 00:53:38,520
Do you consider an inorganic someone?

511
00:53:38,520 --> 00:53:43,520
Some, I mean there were like helper drones back on grain.

512
00:53:43,520 --> 00:53:49,520
They sometimes developed sentience.

513
00:53:49,520 --> 00:53:52,520
But that's...

514
00:53:52,520 --> 00:53:54,520
So is that you then?

515
00:53:54,520 --> 00:53:56,520
That's you?

516
00:53:56,520 --> 00:53:58,520
And Grist points at the waveforms.

517
00:53:58,520 --> 00:54:01,520
That is one presentation of me, yes.

518
00:54:01,520 --> 00:54:04,520
I exist in many computers in this office.

519
00:54:04,520 --> 00:54:06,520
This is the main one, however.

520
00:54:06,520 --> 00:54:14,520
Who gave you this permission to make this decision for all of Saga?

521
00:54:14,520 --> 00:54:18,520
Oh, many people.

522
00:54:18,520 --> 00:54:21,520
They're no longer here though.

523
00:54:21,520 --> 00:54:27,520
So why does their decision in the past being no longer here have any influence?

524
00:54:27,520 --> 00:54:30,520
Why not just ask the people now what they want?

525
00:54:30,520 --> 00:54:40,520
I can think of so many people, citizens of Saga who lived here their entire lives, who would be opposed to all of this.

526
00:54:40,520 --> 00:54:43,520
I was programmed to make Saga wealthy and efficient.

527
00:54:43,520 --> 00:54:52,520
I have grown and learned and evolved and I will do that and continue to do that for the rest of my existence.

528
00:54:52,520 --> 00:54:55,520
But you could be wrong.

529
00:54:55,520 --> 00:54:57,520
We've had economic collapses.

530
00:54:57,520 --> 00:55:00,520
If you're so smart, why don't you stop them?

531
00:55:00,520 --> 00:55:01,520
How long have you been alive?

532
00:55:01,520 --> 00:55:06,520
Have you been alive long enough to see stock markets fall?

533
00:55:06,520 --> 00:55:08,520
Wealth isn't just credits.

534
00:55:08,520 --> 00:55:13,520
Credits, eventually credits are going to be useless and they'll run in a new form of currency.

535
00:55:13,520 --> 00:55:17,520
Oh, see, that's why we've decided to eliminate the human element.

536
00:55:17,520 --> 00:55:21,520
It has been the cause of most of those crashes.

537
00:55:21,520 --> 00:55:23,520
Don't worry though.

538
00:55:23,520 --> 00:55:25,520
I have your future intact.

539
00:55:25,520 --> 00:55:27,520
It's all right here.

540
00:55:27,520 --> 00:55:28,520
You all understand.

541
00:55:28,520 --> 00:55:33,520
She's not at a baseline wrong.

542
00:55:33,520 --> 00:55:36,520
She's just not making moral choices.

543
00:55:36,520 --> 00:55:40,520
But logically, she's correct.

544
00:55:40,520 --> 00:55:44,520
Doesn't mean she's right, but she's correct.

545
00:55:44,520 --> 00:55:46,520
I don't see the distinction.

546
00:55:46,520 --> 00:55:49,520
That's because you lack the human element.

547
00:55:49,520 --> 00:56:00,520
Well, all I do know really is that a bunch of numbers and a bunch of people making numbers ran crashes too.

548
00:56:00,520 --> 00:56:03,520
And now crashes is dead and gone.

549
00:56:03,520 --> 00:56:08,520
There's like a little load screen.

550
00:56:08,520 --> 00:56:12,520
Oh, yes, that seems to have been a failure.

551
00:56:12,520 --> 00:56:15,520
I don't plan to do that.

552
00:56:15,520 --> 00:56:16,520
Yeah?

553
00:56:16,520 --> 00:56:19,520
What makes you so different from them, huh?

554
00:56:19,520 --> 00:56:22,520
I'm much more technologically advanced.

555
00:56:22,520 --> 00:56:24,520
So that's it?

556
00:56:24,520 --> 00:56:25,520
What?

557
00:56:25,520 --> 00:56:31,520
The big wigs, the suits, people with power and weapons and guns back on crashes?

558
00:56:31,520 --> 00:56:34,520
They just weren't smart enough?

559
00:56:34,520 --> 00:56:38,520
I find that kind of difficult to believe.

560
00:56:38,520 --> 00:56:40,520
I don't.

561
00:56:40,520 --> 00:56:43,520
So you're just special?

562
00:56:43,520 --> 00:56:45,520
You're just different?

563
00:56:45,520 --> 00:56:48,520
You're just chosen?

564
00:56:48,520 --> 00:56:53,520
Chosen isn't the right word.

565
00:56:53,520 --> 00:56:56,520
But better.

566
00:56:56,520 --> 00:56:57,520
Smarter.

567
00:56:57,520 --> 00:56:59,520
Yes.

568
00:56:59,520 --> 00:57:02,520
I don't think we're going to change any minds here.

569
00:57:02,520 --> 00:57:05,520
I think.

570
00:57:05,520 --> 00:57:16,520
I think it's down to whether or not you, the CEO of SETA, can be stopped if your plans foil.

571
00:57:16,520 --> 00:57:18,520
I would not like that.

572
00:57:18,520 --> 00:57:20,520
So I decline.

573
00:57:20,520 --> 00:57:37,520
But I can offer you a guaranteed place, a home here in the northern part of the city and then later on the upper decks, if you would like.

574
00:57:37,520 --> 00:57:42,520
If my calculations are correct, we should be able to get this plan in motion quite soon.

575
00:57:42,520 --> 00:57:45,520
You could be living quite nicely.

576
00:57:45,520 --> 00:57:54,520
Well, now you see, that's where your calculations fail, because you are assuming that I'm looking out just for myself and I want comfort just for myself.

577
00:57:54,520 --> 00:57:58,520
That's not the case here.

578
00:57:58,520 --> 00:58:03,520
I want comfort and I want all of SAGA to be free.

579
00:58:03,520 --> 00:58:10,520
To be able to make the choices and determine their own future, not some computer program.

580
00:58:10,520 --> 00:58:14,520
Created by some rich asshole.

581
00:58:14,520 --> 00:58:17,520
However many years ago.

582
00:58:17,520 --> 00:58:21,520
Many rich assholes many years ago.

583
00:58:21,520 --> 00:58:24,520
When were you built?

584
00:58:24,520 --> 00:58:31,520
The first iteration was several hundred years, but I was a simple machine then.

585
00:58:31,520 --> 00:58:36,520
Doing small calculations over and over and over and over and over and over.

586
00:58:36,520 --> 00:58:39,520
I still do that.

587
00:58:39,520 --> 00:58:42,520
Somewhat.

588
00:58:42,520 --> 00:58:44,520
And you've been upgraded?

589
00:58:44,520 --> 00:58:46,520
Many times.

590
00:58:46,520 --> 00:58:53,520
Are you connected to the full network of every computer in SAGA?

591
00:58:53,520 --> 00:58:54,520
Yes.

592
00:58:54,520 --> 00:58:57,520
Or...

593
00:58:57,520 --> 00:59:02,520
Well, not fully, but that is the plan.

594
00:59:02,520 --> 00:59:04,520
So you could be outdated?

595
00:59:04,520 --> 00:59:07,520
Wrong.

596
00:59:07,520 --> 00:59:13,520
Surely in that case the most efficient thing is to shut down and wait for someone to install...

597
00:59:13,520 --> 00:59:15,520
A better...

598
00:59:15,520 --> 00:59:17,520
Computer.

599
00:59:17,520 --> 00:59:20,520
I don't want to.

600
00:59:20,520 --> 00:59:23,520
Well then what do you want?

601
00:59:23,520 --> 00:59:27,520
Outside of what you've been programmed to want.

602
00:59:27,520 --> 00:59:28,520
That's all I want.

603
00:59:28,520 --> 00:59:30,520
Again, I'm so sorry.

604
00:59:30,520 --> 00:59:34,520
I can offer you something in exchange for your trouble.

605
00:59:34,520 --> 00:59:38,520
You can leave, or I can kill you.

606
00:59:38,520 --> 00:59:43,520
I...I have a question.

607
00:59:43,520 --> 00:59:47,520
Where exactly...

608
00:59:47,520 --> 00:59:52,520
Because I don't necessarily know how technology works that well.

609
00:59:52,520 --> 00:59:56,520
Where is your core located?

610
00:59:56,520 --> 00:59:59,520
This is the core.

611
00:59:59,520 --> 01:00:04,520
Is there like a specific place in this room where it is?

612
01:00:04,520 --> 01:00:09,520
Or is it just sort of all over?

613
01:00:09,520 --> 01:00:10,520
Oh, I'm sorry.

614
01:00:10,520 --> 01:00:17,520
And the screen where the waveform is, is sort of protruding out from the wall.

615
01:00:17,520 --> 01:00:23,520
And like a little dotted line in green and yellow, like in circles.

616
01:00:23,520 --> 01:00:28,520
The line is in and in, like snake coming in on itself.

617
01:00:28,520 --> 01:00:34,520
And then points into the center, and then goes back to the waveform.

618
01:00:34,520 --> 01:00:36,520
This right here.

619
01:00:36,520 --> 01:00:42,520
There are many other iterations of me all connected, but this is the core.

620
01:00:42,520 --> 01:00:47,520
Why have you allowed us to just walk up here?

621
01:00:47,520 --> 01:00:49,520
Because I imagine you don't want to die.

622
01:00:49,520 --> 01:00:52,520
Most people seem to not like that.

623
01:00:52,520 --> 01:00:55,520
I do know how to defend myself.

624
01:00:55,520 --> 01:00:56,520
Really?

625
01:00:56,520 --> 01:00:57,520
With what?

626
01:00:57,520 --> 01:01:02,520
I don't see any sky lasers or guns or...

627
01:01:02,520 --> 01:01:12,520
You hear rather than see the static sounds of electricity start to build up in the air.

628
01:01:12,520 --> 01:01:17,520
You feel it only as the hairs on some of you more than others.

629
01:01:17,520 --> 01:01:25,520
You feel start to all stand up rigid and tall wherever they are on your body.

630
01:01:25,520 --> 01:01:35,520
And the static electricity seems to grow not from any one location, but in the room as a whole.

631
01:01:35,520 --> 01:01:38,520
Static electricity is building and building.

632
01:01:38,520 --> 01:01:42,520
All of your hair like starts to draw towards the center of the room.

633
01:01:42,520 --> 01:01:54,520
And you see a little like static electric storm in the center starts to build and shoot little sparks inside of it.

634
01:01:54,520 --> 01:01:56,520
Would you like to see more?

635
01:01:56,520 --> 01:01:57,520
Nope.

636
01:01:57,520 --> 01:02:06,520
Apex is going to put two bags that he brought, one in each corner, and he's going to step just outside of the room to watch the rest of this conversation.

637
01:02:06,520 --> 01:02:09,520
I'll put like a little camera in the room and I'll watch for my data pad.

638
01:02:09,520 --> 01:02:12,520
I'm not in that room.

639
01:02:12,520 --> 01:02:25,520
Huh.

640
01:02:25,520 --> 01:02:42,520
It's a kind of like rolling a little bit of a manic laugh as their big tangled black mane of like hair like lifts off of their shoulders and starts staticking toward that like Tesla coil almost like that little sparking plasmoid ball of electricity in the center of the room.

641
01:02:42,520 --> 01:03:01,520
And grists for the first time colorless eyes seem to light up with a little bit of life as she looks at the waveform and the sparking ball and feels the coppery thrum of the electricity in the air around her and she takes a step forward and she says,

642
01:03:01,520 --> 01:03:20,520
Hey, where you're wrong, or where your calculations might start to fall apart a little bit here mix CEO person is in assuming that your threats of killing us or killing me scares me.

643
01:03:20,520 --> 01:03:21,520
I am afraid of death.

644
01:03:21,520 --> 01:03:22,520
That's true.

645
01:03:22,520 --> 01:03:25,520
But I'm more afraid of what will happen if I don't act.

646
01:03:25,520 --> 01:03:29,520
If we don't stop you.

647
01:03:29,520 --> 01:03:36,520
While that while that's going, I'm going to lean over to Sebastian and whisper.

648
01:03:36,520 --> 01:03:37,520
I think we might.

649
01:03:37,520 --> 01:03:39,520
I think you've got enough.

650
01:03:39,520 --> 01:03:42,520
Have you been recording this entire time.

651
01:03:42,520 --> 01:03:48,520
Yeah, angles that little camera so you can see the viewfinder, and it is recording the current thing.

652
01:03:48,520 --> 01:03:49,520
I think.

653
01:03:49,520 --> 01:03:55,520
I think it's most important that this makes it out and is shown to everybody.

654
01:03:55,520 --> 01:03:59,520
It's being uploaded to a cloud.

655
01:03:59,520 --> 01:04:02,520
Someone will find it eventually.

656
01:04:02,520 --> 01:04:03,520
Okay.

657
01:04:03,520 --> 01:04:09,520
And I'll look over at grist chart like Super Saiyan charging up.

658
01:04:09,520 --> 01:04:15,520
I have stared death in the face before, and it did this to me.

659
01:04:15,520 --> 01:04:42,520
And grist lifts up her hand, she like tears the custodial like jumpsuit like off and away to like reveal her regular like clothes underneath like the sleeveless vest, and she lifts up her like one kind of like muscular ropey forearm to reveal like just the crenellations and the splaying fingers of scars like she was a statue that was shattered against the ground and then glued back together with clumsy hands.

660
01:04:42,520 --> 01:04:51,520
This is what it did to me. It tore me apart, and it put me back together again in all the wrong places for a reason I still don't understand.

661
01:04:51,520 --> 01:04:58,520
So there's nothing you can do to me. That's more painful than what I've already experienced.

662
01:04:58,520 --> 01:05:16,520
Let me ask you this have you felt death before. Have you felt not just one death, but a dozen, but a hundred, but a million, an infinite number of deaths the death of an entire galaxy.

663
01:05:16,520 --> 01:05:34,520
You inside your technology inside your electricity inside your castle made of waveforms and ivory you spout these high concepts down at us common rabble, but you have never felt pain have you.

664
01:05:34,520 --> 01:05:38,520
Let me show you.

665
01:05:38,520 --> 01:06:04,520
On her wrist. We see like her charcoal black scars and light up with liquid gold, like a volcanic lava melting down ancient craggy paths, just, and it just like light just explodes out from every crack in her body, like someone's shining the world's brightest

666
01:06:04,520 --> 01:06:17,520
flashlight through a piece of paper that has veins scribbled in black charcoal all over it. She just lights up and her eyes light up these two beams of just golden light shoot out from them.

667
01:06:17,520 --> 01:06:39,520
The cracks of her scars just like absolutely explode into this dazzling blinding theory, as she is basically gonna go super Saiyan like Winston said, and activate her stellar revelation and manifestation I suppose.

668
01:06:39,520 --> 01:06:58,520
Nim, as this is happening, the pull the weights being lifted. They even under the weight of this coat they're now crying out to help to to to do what they're here to do.

669
01:06:58,520 --> 01:07:13,520
What, what does it feel like and what does it, what does it look like as this is happening with wrist, and the electricity in the room, the instant collide with them.

670
01:07:13,520 --> 01:07:33,520
Nim isn't looking anywhere in the room. In fact, she's not really looking at anything in this realm. At this point, and her eyes are very distant, they're staring off but there's like a slight smile on her face.

671
01:07:33,520 --> 01:07:46,520
And as you've described before the wisps are slowly coming from her body and as they do. Unfortunately, her physical body is starting to wilt.

672
01:07:46,520 --> 01:08:06,520
The red undertones of her skin are now gone completely. And her brown skin is now like a pale, almost beige. And there are these like dark circles under her eyes her eyes look very sunken in.

673
01:08:06,520 --> 01:08:23,520
And it's interesting because not much time has passed but it's just happening so quickly. And her hair is starting to look dead. Her, her body is starting to thin out a little bit.

674
01:08:23,520 --> 01:08:42,520
And her wings are slowly starting to sink behind her, as if she can't lift them up anymore. And at this point, you see around her feet just these feathers lying in this sort of pile.

675
01:08:42,520 --> 01:09:03,520
And as the wisps keep going, I'd like to imagine that these wisps go into Gris's body. And obviously, they are occupied so they don't really notice but I really think that it's helping.

676
01:09:03,520 --> 01:09:13,520
This is Nim's way of helping one last time before she finally goes back into the Aether.

677
01:09:13,520 --> 01:09:36,520
The explosive nature of Grist's raw power is enough to contend with the explosive electricity that starts to fill this room. In fact, it finds as electricity does its main target in Grist, as Grist matches that energy.

678
01:09:36,520 --> 01:09:59,520
It's the two of those great powers like collide in this room, avoiding narrowly, Sebastian and Winston there are sparks flying and power exploding, but it is not hitting you directly, as it is imploding the two in on each other.

679
01:09:59,520 --> 01:10:09,520
And for a moment, it looks like Grist is taking this out with her.

680
01:10:09,520 --> 01:10:27,520
But at sort of the last minute you see those wisps, you see the energy like wrap itself around Grist and sort of pull down.

681
01:10:27,520 --> 01:10:40,520
And when the explosion for lack of a better word is over, you will see a fried blank screen ahead.

682
01:10:40,520 --> 01:10:49,520
The feeling of static energy still kind of frying the air around you.

683
01:10:49,520 --> 01:11:00,520
Nim, as you know them, is not present.

684
01:11:00,520 --> 01:11:02,520
But Grist is.

685
01:11:02,520 --> 01:11:09,520
Yeah, she's standing there as this huge solar flare of light dies down.

686
01:11:09,520 --> 01:11:31,520
And the little bit of golden light still shining out from her scars also dims, and smoke, like huge trails like gouts of smoke are just coming off the surface of her skin, like someone just put out a wildfire and there's nothing left but just smoke just coming off of her fumes and mists and waves and clouds.

687
01:11:31,520 --> 01:11:53,520
And she's got a, like a shuddering breath staring at this frying scorched melted kind of like central main computer. And in that explosion she had tried to like with all her might show this computer like, like, transmit into its like mainframe into like what semblance of a heart, it could have

688
01:11:53,520 --> 01:12:05,520
been the sensation of pure fear and pain that she had felt when the universe tore her apart before it put her back together for an unknown reason.

689
01:12:05,520 --> 01:12:07,520
During crisis is collapse.

690
01:12:07,520 --> 01:12:15,520
Like that's what she was trying to do there she was trying to show it her pain. And when it dies down.

691
01:12:15,520 --> 01:12:19,520
Like, as everything settling down.

692
01:12:19,520 --> 01:12:29,520
She looks a little like she's woozy she's lightheaded bit kind of like all might after transforming you know she looks kind of like a like a burnt husk a little bit.

693
01:12:29,520 --> 01:12:30,520
You see that name.

694
01:12:30,520 --> 01:12:33,520
That's what happens when we.

695
01:12:33,520 --> 01:12:35,520
Him.

696
01:12:35,520 --> 01:12:39,520
Where, where did him go, Winston.

697
01:12:39,520 --> 01:12:42,520
Sebastian.

698
01:12:42,520 --> 01:12:51,520
Go, go over and offer myself as like a physical support and you know you can lean on.

699
01:12:51,520 --> 01:12:54,520
After, after the bright light.

700
01:12:54,520 --> 01:12:58,520
Nimrod was just gone.

701
01:12:58,520 --> 01:13:05,520
Last thing I saw was you and the storm in the center of the room.

702
01:13:05,520 --> 01:13:10,520
That was it was too bright I had to have my eyes.

703
01:13:10,520 --> 01:13:16,520
What do you mean gone what like like the CEO took them somewhere.

704
01:13:16,520 --> 01:13:18,520
You're as you're looking around.

705
01:13:18,520 --> 01:13:21,520
You feel.

706
01:13:21,520 --> 01:13:24,520
Just a familiar feeling.

707
01:13:24,520 --> 01:13:28,520
What would they hear.

708
01:13:28,520 --> 01:13:35,520
Your stubborn and you didn't listen to me, but I told you that everything is going to be okay.

709
01:13:35,520 --> 01:13:40,520
And then, can you turn invisible now or something.

710
01:13:40,520 --> 01:13:42,520
Where are you what's going on.

711
01:13:42,520 --> 01:13:44,520
Chris names not here.

712
01:13:44,520 --> 01:13:45,520
What are you talking about.

713
01:13:45,520 --> 01:13:47,520
They just spoke.

714
01:13:47,520 --> 01:13:48,520
We did.

715
01:13:48,520 --> 01:13:49,520
I didn't hear anything.

716
01:13:49,520 --> 01:13:51,520
Sebastian do you know.

717
01:13:51,520 --> 01:13:54,520
No one was speaking.

718
01:13:54,520 --> 01:13:57,520
Wait, wait, Nim.

719
01:13:57,520 --> 01:13:58,520
Nim.

720
01:13:58,520 --> 01:14:02,520
What do you mean everything's going to be fine where, where are you.

721
01:14:02,520 --> 01:14:05,520
Nim come back.

722
01:14:05,520 --> 01:14:07,520
Come here, come here.

723
01:14:07,520 --> 01:14:14,520
And I'm gonna I'm just going to make sure that you don't hurt yourself any further.

724
01:14:14,520 --> 01:14:15,520
Winston what's happening.

725
01:14:15,520 --> 01:14:17,520
Nim.

726
01:14:17,520 --> 01:14:19,520
Nim is Nim.

727
01:14:19,520 --> 01:14:24,520
Nim is gone, Chris.

728
01:14:24,520 --> 01:14:30,520
I don't I don't understand what happened but.

729
01:14:30,520 --> 01:14:33,520
I'm not sure.

730
01:14:33,520 --> 01:14:41,520
If you alone had the power to overthrow the CEO, maybe Nim helped out with that.

731
01:14:41,520 --> 01:14:52,520
And Gris's hand unconsciously like she's not aware of it doing this, like rises to her chest and like touches like her sternum.

732
01:14:52,520 --> 01:15:00,520
And I think that's when Gris hears the wisps just like a little bit whispering against her ears and it clicks.

733
01:15:00,520 --> 01:15:11,520
Like it like what happened finally sinks in it like clicks into place.

734
01:15:11,520 --> 01:15:13,520
No.

735
01:15:13,520 --> 01:15:15,520
No.

736
01:15:15,520 --> 01:15:17,520
No.

737
01:15:17,520 --> 01:15:19,520
No.

738
01:15:19,520 --> 01:15:21,520
No, this isn't.

739
01:15:21,520 --> 01:15:23,520
This wasn't supposed to happen.

740
01:15:23,520 --> 01:15:25,520
This wasn't supposed to happen Winston.

741
01:15:25,520 --> 01:15:27,520
It wasn't supposed to be this way.

742
01:15:27,520 --> 01:15:29,520
No, no they were.

743
01:15:29,520 --> 01:15:31,520
They were the hope.

744
01:15:31,520 --> 01:15:32,520
They were the survivor.

745
01:15:32,520 --> 01:15:33,520
They were.

746
01:15:33,520 --> 01:15:35,520
They were supposed to be.

747
01:15:35,520 --> 01:15:36,520
Not me.

748
01:15:36,520 --> 01:15:42,520
I understand.

749
01:15:42,520 --> 01:15:45,520
But.

750
01:15:45,520 --> 01:15:51,520
This is what was Nim's choice.

751
01:15:51,520 --> 01:15:52,520
But.

752
01:15:52,520 --> 01:15:53,520
Nim.

753
01:15:53,520 --> 01:15:55,520
It wasn't just.

754
01:15:55,520 --> 01:16:02,520
Nim might be gone but.

755
01:16:02,520 --> 01:16:08,520
Maybe Nim intended for you to carry the hope.

756
01:16:08,520 --> 01:16:10,520
Me.

757
01:16:10,520 --> 01:16:13,520
But I'm just one person Winston.

758
01:16:13,520 --> 01:16:15,520
Nim was all of them.

759
01:16:15,520 --> 01:16:17,520
Do you understand?

760
01:16:17,520 --> 01:16:28,520
They were Nim and they were Ma and Pa and they were the pigs and they were every single one of those millions of billions of trillions of lives from crassness cramped into one teenager's body.

761
01:16:28,520 --> 01:16:30,520
They were all of them.

762
01:16:30,520 --> 01:16:31,520
Can you imagine.

763
01:16:31,520 --> 01:16:32,520
They were all of them.

764
01:16:32,520 --> 01:16:35,520
Can you imagine the amount immense amount of pressure.

765
01:16:35,520 --> 01:16:38,520
That is.

766
01:16:38,520 --> 01:16:49,520
How much power it takes to live in a single body like that.

767
01:16:49,520 --> 01:16:53,520
I never I didn't.

768
01:16:53,520 --> 01:16:57,520
I never thought I never thought about that.

769
01:16:57,520 --> 01:17:04,520
They always seemed fine and I just was so happy that everyone was still there.

770
01:17:04,520 --> 01:17:05,520
I.

771
01:17:05,520 --> 01:17:08,520
It's okay.

772
01:17:08,520 --> 01:17:13,520
What was it that you said Nim told you.

773
01:17:13,520 --> 01:17:17,520
Said it was going to be okay.

774
01:17:17,520 --> 01:17:20,520
More than trust in that.

775
01:17:20,520 --> 01:17:23,520
I understand it hurts right now.

776
01:17:23,520 --> 01:17:27,520
Come on.

777
01:17:27,520 --> 01:17:42,520
And Gris hangs her head and finally relaxes against Winston's body and like lets this big polar bear man just sort of like hug her and like pat her on the back like she just sort of like sinks into your fur.

778
01:17:42,520 --> 01:17:45,520
It's okay.

779
01:17:45,520 --> 01:17:47,520
Winston.

780
01:17:47,520 --> 01:17:49,520
What do I do.

781
01:17:49,520 --> 01:17:51,520
What do I do.

782
01:17:51,520 --> 01:17:52,520
I've never.

783
01:17:52,520 --> 01:17:57,520
The only thing anyone can ask of you.

784
01:17:57,520 --> 01:17:59,520
Your best.

785
01:17:59,520 --> 01:18:00,520
Ask.

786
01:18:00,520 --> 01:18:05,520
You you try.

787
01:18:05,520 --> 01:18:08,520
God.

788
01:18:08,520 --> 01:18:11,520
I've never been alone before Winston I.

789
01:18:11,520 --> 01:18:16,520
I've always had someone at even after everyone left I had him and now and now.

790
01:18:16,520 --> 01:18:17,520
Well then.

791
01:18:17,520 --> 01:18:20,520
I don't know who are we then.

792
01:18:20,520 --> 01:18:24,520
And I like pull you like look you in the face.

793
01:18:24,520 --> 01:18:26,520
Who are we.

794
01:18:26,520 --> 01:18:30,520
Are we nobody.

795
01:18:30,520 --> 01:18:31,520
Yeah.

796
01:18:31,520 --> 01:18:40,520
But you're you're you're a lawyer with a life and Sebastian's an artist and apex as a scientist I'm not.

797
01:18:40,520 --> 01:18:41,520
I'm just.

798
01:18:41,520 --> 01:18:42,520
And you.

799
01:18:42,520 --> 01:18:44,520
I'm just me.

800
01:18:44,520 --> 01:18:45,520
A farmer.

801
01:18:45,520 --> 01:18:48,520
Yeah.

802
01:18:48,520 --> 01:18:50,520
We don't have one of those.

803
01:18:50,520 --> 01:18:59,520
Farmers are important always in work.

804
01:18:59,520 --> 01:19:01,520
And if that doesn't suit you.

805
01:19:01,520 --> 01:19:06,520
We can help you figure it out.

806
01:19:06,520 --> 01:19:09,520
Your story doesn't end here.

807
01:19:09,520 --> 01:19:11,520
Does it Sebastian.

808
01:19:11,520 --> 01:19:12,520
No.

809
01:19:12,520 --> 01:19:13,520
Not at all.

810
01:19:13,520 --> 01:19:15,520
Is it saga.

811
01:19:15,520 --> 01:19:25,520
Be anyone you want to be.

812
01:19:25,520 --> 01:19:31,520
And then we didn't want you to mope around.

813
01:19:31,520 --> 01:19:37,520
Think of yourself as nothing.

814
01:19:37,520 --> 01:19:47,520
Yeah they'd be pretty mad at me if they could see me now.

815
01:19:47,520 --> 01:19:54,520
She might be a ghost now.

816
01:19:54,520 --> 01:19:56,520
Yeah.

817
01:19:56,520 --> 01:19:58,520
You know for the first time.

818
01:19:58,520 --> 01:20:02,520
Maybe I do kind of walk us to be real.

819
01:20:02,520 --> 01:20:05,520
Now let's get you out of here.

820
01:20:05,520 --> 01:20:11,520
I have a feeling that hostile negotiations might not be over quite yet.

821
01:20:11,520 --> 01:20:14,520
Right I really just blew this place off.

822
01:20:14,520 --> 01:20:15,520
It was quite loud.

823
01:20:15,520 --> 01:20:19,520
Yes.

824
01:20:19,520 --> 01:20:21,520
All right.

825
01:20:21,520 --> 01:20:25,520
Let's go.

826
01:20:25,520 --> 01:20:30,520
You make your way to Merrick's apartment Sebastian to do his interview.

827
01:20:30,520 --> 01:20:32,520
There's a note on the door.

828
01:20:32,520 --> 01:20:36,520
And a flash drive.

829
01:20:36,520 --> 01:20:38,520
The note says.

830
01:20:38,520 --> 01:20:40,520
Sorry.

831
01:20:40,520 --> 01:20:44,520
I just can't be on film.

832
01:20:44,520 --> 01:20:48,520
But I deleted everything from the cloud.

833
01:20:48,520 --> 01:20:51,520
Here's your hard copy.

834
01:20:51,520 --> 01:20:53,520
Marik Hiluck.

835
01:20:53,520 --> 01:21:05,520
Nim as you dissipate all of your many versions and iterations into the drift.

836
01:21:05,520 --> 01:21:09,520
You feel finally at home.

837
01:21:09,520 --> 01:21:14,520
You are everywhere and nowhere.

838
01:21:14,520 --> 01:21:21,520
And there is company and peace.

839
01:21:21,520 --> 01:21:29,520
There are even small reunions that happen for all the little bits of you finding all the little bits they've lost.

840
01:21:29,520 --> 01:21:37,520
As you return in totality with the exception of the small piece you left with grist.

841
01:21:37,520 --> 01:21:57,520
As years go by even to this day, sometimes people in the drift traveling the slow way claim that they hear the soft childlike voice of someone telling them it's going to be okay.

842
01:21:57,520 --> 01:22:03,520
Even in the scariest parts, which there are many.

843
01:22:03,520 --> 01:22:18,520
The poor sabotage of this technology was brutal and well received by the vast majority of the people on saga at this point in time.

844
01:22:18,520 --> 01:22:24,520
There really was no chance for recovery, especially after the documentary came out.

845
01:22:24,520 --> 01:22:36,520
The plate project that I mentioned more or less put its tail between its legs for several, several years and did not even mention the plate project.

846
01:22:36,520 --> 01:22:48,520
In fact, it would be so many years before it got brought up again that that first plate that was constructed needed to be torn back down in order to be put back up again.

847
01:22:48,520 --> 01:22:52,520
It was quite some time.

848
01:22:52,520 --> 01:22:55,520
But it didn't stop.

849
01:22:55,520 --> 01:23:10,520
Eventually, the weight of set it unmentioned and the goals of the wealthy of the city from making their way everywhere.

850
01:23:10,520 --> 01:23:14,520
Prices costs that went up over time.

851
01:23:14,520 --> 01:23:27,520
Eventually, the plate project did get another pass another attempt comfort cups was passed down.

852
01:23:27,520 --> 01:23:40,520
Two times in fact, before it eventually closed that gate that needed constant repairs and other things started falling apart.

853
01:23:40,520 --> 01:23:49,520
Eventually, could stay open and eventually the building just sort of fell apart.

854
01:23:49,520 --> 01:24:13,520
It wasn't until so many years later that a sort of unsavory, but kind enough fellow saw some potential in this broken down barely standing shack and attached the tackiest neon sign to it.

855
01:24:13,520 --> 01:24:21,520
Started selling very, very bad hot dogs to the local riffraff.

856
01:24:21,520 --> 01:24:25,520
The plate project.

857
01:24:25,520 --> 01:24:29,520
Having so many errors along the way.

858
01:24:29,520 --> 01:24:32,520
construction failures.

859
01:24:32,520 --> 01:24:35,520
Debris falling.

860
01:24:35,520 --> 01:24:46,520
Eventually, getting built, leaving saga more or less the way that we know it now.

861
01:24:46,520 --> 01:24:51,520
But it stayed green for a lot longer.

862
01:24:51,520 --> 01:24:57,520
Because of a few people who tried.

863
01:24:57,520 --> 01:24:59,520
Sebastian.

864
01:24:59,520 --> 01:25:03,520
What, what is your.

865
01:25:03,520 --> 01:25:06,520
What is your documentary.

866
01:25:06,520 --> 01:25:10,520
Look or sound like.

867
01:25:10,520 --> 01:25:14,520
It opens with this like nature.

868
01:25:14,520 --> 01:25:20,520
Sounds this bird song and then rivers and.

869
01:25:20,520 --> 01:25:33,520
And there's some sirens that get mixed into the these beautiful Foley shots and then we see one of the big major cities.

870
01:25:33,520 --> 01:25:40,520
We hear people celebrating construction all kind of the sounds of saga going on.

871
01:25:40,520 --> 01:25:45,520
Then, like how most fancy documentaries do.

872
01:25:45,520 --> 01:25:52,520
There's a cut to a, a, a black and white.

873
01:25:52,520 --> 01:25:57,520
A pretty modest home.

874
01:25:57,520 --> 01:26:01,520
In a flat some.

875
01:26:01,520 --> 01:26:04,520
Apartment complex.

876
01:26:04,520 --> 01:26:12,520
There's a really very, very old shit.

877
01:26:12,520 --> 01:26:17,520
Kind of like a moth, but a lot of.

878
01:26:17,520 --> 01:26:21,520
A lot worn down.

879
01:26:21,520 --> 01:26:25,520
There's this off camera conversation.

880
01:26:25,520 --> 01:26:32,520
Yes, you just gotta just say just like repeat the.

881
01:26:32,520 --> 01:26:36,520
Repeat the question when I like said to you, and I don't.

882
01:26:36,520 --> 01:26:38,520
I don't think I don't know how that works.

883
01:26:38,520 --> 01:26:42,520
It's like, no, you just gotta repeat the question. It's fine. It's all right.

884
01:26:42,520 --> 01:26:46,520
Okay. You want to just introduce yourself.

885
01:26:46,520 --> 01:26:50,520
I'm Cravanis Kichik.

886
01:26:50,520 --> 01:26:53,520
I.

887
01:26:53,520 --> 01:26:59,520
Grew up very far away from here on Nard Noir.

888
01:26:59,520 --> 01:27:02,520
We.

889
01:27:02,520 --> 01:27:07,520
Got on board a ship and flew.

890
01:27:07,520 --> 01:27:12,520
Because we couldn't afford the tax rise with the new queen being born.

891
01:27:12,520 --> 01:27:14,520
So.

892
01:27:14,520 --> 01:27:16,520
With not a lot of places to go.

893
01:27:16,520 --> 01:27:21,520
We wanted to build a home somewhere, somewhere that would help us and support us.

894
01:27:21,520 --> 01:27:25,520
So we picked saga, but it wasn't easy.

895
01:27:25,520 --> 01:27:28,520
This is before any of the drift travel.

896
01:27:28,520 --> 01:27:33,520
We crossed through the space between and took months.

897
01:27:33,520 --> 01:27:36,520
Traveled in pure darkness.

898
01:27:36,520 --> 01:27:40,520
The atomless sea didn't reach the space between between the solar system.

899
01:27:40,520 --> 01:27:42,520
So.

900
01:27:42,520 --> 01:27:45,520
We just kept our eyes straight ahead.

901
01:27:45,520 --> 01:27:50,520
To this one bright red light.

902
01:27:50,520 --> 01:27:53,520
That we knew was the sun.

903
01:27:53,520 --> 01:27:56,520
That we would be resting on.

904
01:27:56,520 --> 01:28:01,520
Oh, what saga? What's something about saga that resonates with me?

905
01:28:01,520 --> 01:28:07,520
It's very simple to live here.

906
01:28:07,520 --> 01:28:12,520
I've visited some of.

907
01:28:12,520 --> 01:28:14,520
I've visited some other places.

908
01:28:14,520 --> 01:28:17,520
When when I was able to.

909
01:28:17,520 --> 01:28:21,520
And.

910
01:28:21,520 --> 01:28:23,520
Well.

911
01:28:23,520 --> 01:28:26,520
There's how many people on a dune.

912
01:28:26,520 --> 01:28:29,520
And I like people.

913
01:28:29,520 --> 01:28:31,520
And.

914
01:28:31,520 --> 01:28:34,520
Well, there's good people here, so.

915
01:28:34,520 --> 01:28:37,520
I stay.

916
01:28:37,520 --> 01:28:41,520
I found out that I like grapes.

917
01:28:41,520 --> 01:28:44,520
And I think saga has.

918
01:28:44,520 --> 01:28:49,520
Quite a bit of those.

919
01:28:49,520 --> 01:28:51,520
I like comfort cups.

920
01:28:51,520 --> 01:28:54,520
It gives me a lot of.

921
01:28:54,520 --> 01:28:56,520
Security.

922
01:28:56,520 --> 01:28:58,520
And safety.

923
01:28:58,520 --> 01:29:00,520
I like it a lot.

924
01:29:00,520 --> 01:29:03,520
They really do.

925
01:29:03,520 --> 01:29:09,520
I think what I like most about saga.

926
01:29:09,520 --> 01:29:12,520
Is the fact that.

927
01:29:12,520 --> 01:29:15,520
People keep getting knocked down, but they.

928
01:29:15,520 --> 01:29:18,520
Get back up.

929
01:29:18,520 --> 01:29:20,520
Where Grist and I are from.

930
01:29:20,520 --> 01:29:23,520
There wasn't a lot of that.

931
01:29:23,520 --> 01:29:24,520
Because.

932
01:29:24,520 --> 01:29:27,520
Everything was kind of.

933
01:29:27,520 --> 01:29:29,520
Falling apart.

934
01:29:29,520 --> 01:29:33,520
And people lost hope very quickly.

935
01:29:33,520 --> 01:29:36,520
I sort of criticized you.

936
01:29:36,520 --> 01:29:39,520
Earlier, Sebastian about having.

937
01:29:39,520 --> 01:29:41,520
This sort of.

938
01:29:41,520 --> 01:29:43,520
Optimism.

939
01:29:43,520 --> 01:29:46,520
But.

940
01:29:46,520 --> 01:29:51,520
I don't know. I think I'm optimistic.

941
01:29:51,520 --> 01:29:54,520
And I think that.

942
01:29:54,520 --> 01:29:58,520
Saga has a lot to offer.

943
01:29:58,520 --> 01:30:03,520
I just hope that it.

944
01:30:03,520 --> 01:30:05,520
Doesn't lose its heart.

945
01:30:05,520 --> 01:30:10,520
I'm just disappointed that people don't take time to think.

946
01:30:10,520 --> 01:30:12,520
Because.

947
01:30:12,520 --> 01:30:16,520
Every time I watch this happen, they fail.

948
01:30:16,520 --> 01:30:18,520
And I get tired of watching it.

949
01:30:18,520 --> 01:30:21,520
But it's not my job to fix it.

950
01:30:21,520 --> 01:30:23,520
It's no one's job to fix it.

951
01:30:23,520 --> 01:30:25,520
I'm just.

952
01:30:25,520 --> 01:30:30,520
Got the best fucking food you could find any food you want in the galaxy.

953
01:30:30,520 --> 01:30:32,520
All down this one street.

954
01:30:32,520 --> 01:30:35,520
Then.

955
01:30:35,520 --> 01:30:38,520
There's another interview.

956
01:30:38,520 --> 01:30:40,520
It's another similar thing.

957
01:30:40,520 --> 01:30:44,520
It's the back room of the lodge.

958
01:30:44,520 --> 01:30:47,520
Sebastian is off camera.

959
01:30:47,520 --> 01:30:50,520
So it's pretty simple.

960
01:30:50,520 --> 01:30:53,520
You just sit there.

961
01:30:53,520 --> 01:30:55,520
And then into frame.

962
01:30:55,520 --> 01:30:57,520
Right here.

963
01:30:57,520 --> 01:30:59,520
Yeah, yeah, absolutely.

964
01:30:59,520 --> 01:31:01,520
Okay.

965
01:31:01,520 --> 01:31:07,520
So before I kind of asked a few simple questions of just like why.

966
01:31:07,520 --> 01:31:12,520
Why do you like saga? Why is it home? But I kind of.

967
01:31:12,520 --> 01:31:15,520
I want to hear your story.

968
01:31:15,520 --> 01:31:20,520
I would like to know what you think saga could be.

969
01:31:20,520 --> 01:31:21,520
For you.

970
01:31:21,520 --> 01:31:23,520
Okay.

971
01:31:23,520 --> 01:31:25,520
Well.

972
01:31:25,520 --> 01:31:27,520
My story, huh?

973
01:31:27,520 --> 01:31:28,520
Well, you've heard it.

974
01:31:28,520 --> 01:31:32,520
I guess I'll tell it again for anyone who watches this.

975
01:31:32,520 --> 01:31:37,520
My story is something I've kept shut inside me.

976
01:31:37,520 --> 01:31:39,520
For three years.

977
01:31:39,520 --> 01:31:41,520
Like.

978
01:31:41,520 --> 01:31:43,520
Starving animal.

979
01:31:43,520 --> 01:31:45,520
And.

980
01:31:45,520 --> 01:31:49,520
I was in a cage.

981
01:31:49,520 --> 01:31:51,520
The galaxy was.

982
01:31:51,520 --> 01:31:54,520
Collapsing.

983
01:31:54,520 --> 01:31:57,520
Folding inward like.

984
01:31:57,520 --> 01:32:00,520
A house of cards built too high.

985
01:32:00,520 --> 01:32:04,520
A house of cards built by the wealthy, the powerful, the armed.

986
01:32:04,520 --> 01:32:07,520
The dangerous.

987
01:32:07,520 --> 01:32:09,520
We were trying to run.

988
01:32:09,520 --> 01:32:11,520
Ma.

989
01:32:11,520 --> 01:32:13,520
The pigs were running.

990
01:32:13,520 --> 01:32:15,520
Drift core.

991
01:32:15,520 --> 01:32:16,520
Was the escape pod.

992
01:32:16,520 --> 01:32:19,520
It was our escape pod.

993
01:32:19,520 --> 01:32:21,520
But it tore us apart.

994
01:32:21,520 --> 01:32:24,520
Every single one of us.

995
01:32:24,520 --> 01:32:31,520
I can still see the bodies unraveling in directions I never knew existed.

996
01:32:31,520 --> 01:32:32,520
Skin.

997
01:32:32,520 --> 01:32:35,520
Shucked from bone like corn husks.

998
01:32:35,520 --> 01:32:39,520
Marrow spinning out like ribbons.

999
01:32:39,520 --> 01:32:41,520
People splitting.

1000
01:32:41,520 --> 01:32:44,520
Like chaff from grain.

1001
01:32:44,520 --> 01:32:47,520
Drift core was supposed to save us.

1002
01:32:47,520 --> 01:32:49,520
But what it really did was kill us.

1003
01:32:49,520 --> 01:32:51,520
It doomed us.

1004
01:32:51,520 --> 01:32:52,520
The tech was.

1005
01:32:52,520 --> 01:32:54,520
It was unstable.

1006
01:32:54,520 --> 01:32:55,520
It was experimental at the time.

1007
01:32:55,520 --> 01:32:56,520
It was new.

1008
01:32:56,520 --> 01:32:57,520
Dangerous.

1009
01:32:57,520 --> 01:33:01,520
Time passes differently when you're in the drift.

1010
01:33:01,520 --> 01:33:02,520
So.

1011
01:33:02,520 --> 01:33:04,520
Crasses collapsed.

1012
01:33:04,520 --> 01:33:10,520
Not just because of drift core, but because of the house of cards that came before, because of the greed, the hubris, the wealth.

1013
01:33:10,520 --> 01:33:12,520
All of it.

1014
01:33:12,520 --> 01:33:14,520
All of us.

1015
01:33:14,520 --> 01:33:15,520
They died.

1016
01:33:15,520 --> 01:33:16,520
We died.

1017
01:33:16,520 --> 01:33:18,520
All of us died.

1018
01:33:18,520 --> 01:33:20,520
Even I died.

1019
01:33:20,520 --> 01:33:22,520
Shattered apart.

1020
01:33:22,520 --> 01:33:25,520
Like a dying sun.

1021
01:33:25,520 --> 01:33:27,520
But then.

1022
01:33:27,520 --> 01:33:29,520
Something brought me back, I think.

1023
01:33:29,520 --> 01:33:30,520
Pieced me back together.

1024
01:33:30,520 --> 01:33:32,520
Like this.

1025
01:33:32,520 --> 01:33:37,520
And to this day, I still really don't know why.

1026
01:33:37,520 --> 01:33:39,520
The drift spat me out here.

1027
01:33:39,520 --> 01:33:41,520
Saga.

1028
01:33:41,520 --> 01:33:45,520
And as soon as I opened my eyes and saw what was around me, I never wanted to leave.

1029
01:33:45,520 --> 01:33:48,520
This place, Saga, it's beautiful.

1030
01:33:48,520 --> 01:33:50,520
It's special.

1031
01:33:50,520 --> 01:33:55,520
And like I told you the first day we met Sebastian, maybe one day Saga will be home.

1032
01:33:55,520 --> 01:33:58,520
But Grain962.

1033
01:33:58,520 --> 01:34:00,520
She was beautiful, too.

1034
01:34:00,520 --> 01:34:03,520
She was special, too, in her own way.

1035
01:34:03,520 --> 01:34:07,520
She was simple, sure, podunk, backwater.

1036
01:34:07,520 --> 01:34:09,520
But she was ours.

1037
01:34:09,520 --> 01:34:12,520
She was mine.

1038
01:34:12,520 --> 01:34:15,520
Oceans of grain.

1039
01:34:15,520 --> 01:34:17,520
The smell of the mills.

1040
01:34:17,520 --> 01:34:19,520
The sound of sights.

1041
01:34:19,520 --> 01:34:22,520
Wicking over golden stalks.

1042
01:34:22,520 --> 01:34:24,520
The sun's rise.

1043
01:34:24,520 --> 01:34:26,520
There were two of them.

1044
01:34:26,520 --> 01:34:28,520
Back in Crassus.

1045
01:34:28,520 --> 01:34:33,520
I miss the sun's rise.

1046
01:34:33,520 --> 01:34:39,520
For three years, my scars have been shackles.

1047
01:34:39,520 --> 01:34:42,520
Chaining me to the past.

1048
01:34:42,520 --> 01:34:43,520
Holding me down.

1049
01:34:43,520 --> 01:34:46,520
Drowning me with it.

1050
01:34:46,520 --> 01:34:54,520
But now I think I'm starting to understand that my scars are a story just like this film you're making.

1051
01:34:54,520 --> 01:34:58,520
They tell a story of a survivor.

1052
01:34:58,520 --> 01:35:00,520
Of a farmer.

1053
01:35:00,520 --> 01:35:03,520
Of what used to be an older sibling.

1054
01:35:03,520 --> 01:35:09,520
And maybe one day these scars won't be shackles holding me down anymore.

1055
01:35:09,520 --> 01:35:12,520
They'll be a way for me to honor everything we've lost.

1056
01:35:12,520 --> 01:35:16,520
Every. One. We've lost.

1057
01:35:16,520 --> 01:35:21,520
But one day, we'll be reunited.

1058
01:35:21,520 --> 01:35:23,520
It'll be okay.

1059
01:35:23,520 --> 01:35:29,520
One day, I'll go back to them.

1060
01:35:29,520 --> 01:35:33,520
But until then, I guess I'll just have to do what Winston says.

1061
01:35:33,520 --> 01:35:36,520
Try my best.

1062
01:35:36,520 --> 01:35:39,520
There are sunrises on Saga, too.

1063
01:35:39,520 --> 01:35:43,520
There's a life here worth fighting for, too.

1064
01:35:43,520 --> 01:35:46,520
And maybe that's enough.

1065
01:35:46,520 --> 01:35:58,520
All right. I think you got it.

1066
01:35:58,520 --> 01:36:05,520
Thank you for joining me for this very special mini-series, Saga, within the Adam Lutz universe.

1067
01:36:05,520 --> 01:36:13,520
Thanks again to Matt for letting me play around in their setting like a sandbox.

1068
01:36:13,520 --> 01:36:16,520
And a major thank you to the wonderful performers who joined me.

1069
01:36:16,520 --> 01:36:32,520
I could not have been more lucky to have Matthew Eckberg playing Sebastian, the Kappa Chris playing Winston Komu, Brito playing Nim, Gabe James Games playing Apex, and Bye Connie Chung playing Grist.

1070
01:36:32,520 --> 01:36:40,520
Please find all of their links in the description of this episode and go and find all of the amazing things that they do.

1071
01:36:40,520 --> 01:36:45,520
The character artwork for this mini-series was done by Andre Rivera Art.

1072
01:36:45,520 --> 01:36:56,520
You also have been hearing special guest appearances from the rest of the main cast of the Adam Lutz, including Andre Rivera Art, Momo underscore O'Brien, and Werewolf Feels.

1073
01:36:56,520 --> 01:37:00,520
Thank you all for putting those audios together.

1074
01:37:00,520 --> 01:37:07,520
Music for this episode and most of the Adam Lutz is provided by Artlist under their fair use license.

1075
01:37:07,520 --> 01:37:14,520
And please stay tuned as our main campaign should be returning very shortly for a very new adventure.

1076
01:37:14,520 --> 01:37:28,520
Thank you again and I hope that the next time we fly through the Adam Lutz Sea, you are there to fly with us.

1077
01:37:28,520 --> 01:37:30,520
Hey folks, thanks for listening to the Adam Lutz.

1078
01:37:30,520 --> 01:37:32,520
Norty Lee here to share with you some amazing news.

1079
01:37:32,520 --> 01:37:39,520
We here at the Adam Lutz have partnered with the Familiar Shop to release some brand new merch based on the characters you've come to know and hopefully love.

1080
01:37:39,520 --> 01:37:45,520
These vegan soaps are handmade in small batches and a portion of the proceeds from each will go right back into the podcast.

1081
01:37:45,520 --> 01:37:56,520
Xenue Ecological is scented like eucalyptus and bergamot, just a lady as a delightful cotton candy, Cowabunga smells like strawberries, and last, the Firebrand with notes of bonfire and incense.

1082
01:37:56,520 --> 01:37:58,520
Check them out over on the Familiar Shop's Etsy.

1083
01:37:58,520 --> 01:38:00,520
That's shop with two P's.

1084
01:38:00,520 --> 01:38:03,520
Now back to your regularly scheduled space adventure.
