Welcome to Agents Dossier, a Delta Green actual play series brought to you by 12 Sided Stories.

2
00:00:28,680 --> 00:00:48,440
And now your GM, Wes Otis.

3
00:00:48,440 --> 00:00:50,320
Hello Patreon supporters.

4
00:00:50,320 --> 00:00:51,800
Thank you very much for joining us.

5
00:00:51,800 --> 00:00:53,160
This is Agents Dossier.

6
00:00:53,160 --> 00:00:54,360
We have a couple of players.

7
00:00:54,360 --> 00:00:55,360
Let's start with Mack.

8
00:00:55,360 --> 00:00:56,960
Hey, I'm Mack.

9
00:00:56,960 --> 00:01:05,000
I'm going to be playing Desiree Kimball, who is a burglar, sort of, kind of, still is,

10
00:01:05,000 --> 00:01:07,000
but now gainfully employed.

11
00:01:07,000 --> 00:01:16,000
Hi, I'm Michelle Otis and I am playing Perla Ayala and she is a forensic anthropologist.

12
00:01:16,000 --> 00:01:17,880
She likes dim bones.

13
00:01:17,880 --> 00:01:19,480
Dim bones, dim bones, dim bones.

14
00:01:19,480 --> 00:01:20,480
Dim dry bones.

15
00:01:20,480 --> 00:01:21,480
Cool.

16
00:01:21,480 --> 00:01:28,080
So, I want to do a quick overview of what happened in the last few episodes with Ayala's

17
00:01:28,080 --> 00:01:29,880
first episode.

18
00:01:29,880 --> 00:01:36,840
She was helping unearth a gigantic cube of skeletons that were fused together in a weird

19
00:01:36,840 --> 00:01:37,840
pattern.

20
00:01:37,840 --> 00:01:41,200
Yeah, that they found at a dig site.

21
00:01:41,200 --> 00:01:47,020
What was extra weird about it was that the bones were fused together like they had grown

22
00:01:47,020 --> 00:01:52,820
that way, not as like fused together through melting or something.

23
00:01:52,820 --> 00:01:58,520
She went to a rock show at a bar and everything went really wrong.

24
00:01:58,520 --> 00:02:04,840
She ended up for the next week digging up this cube and then one night she went home

25
00:02:04,840 --> 00:02:13,480
to find a gentleman making eggs in her kitchen while her husband was gone, dressed very much

26
00:02:13,480 --> 00:02:18,360
like the group that had attacked the club in the first place.

27
00:02:18,360 --> 00:02:27,260
Mac Desiree was arrested for stealing a stone Mesopotamian statue.

28
00:02:27,260 --> 00:02:33,800
She was then recruited by an agency to get the stone statue back.

29
00:02:33,800 --> 00:02:43,000
She got her freedom back, sort of, to sneak into a senator's house and take the relic

30
00:02:43,000 --> 00:02:50,040
and found out that it was just a really elaborate 1990s-esque test to see if she would be able

31
00:02:50,040 --> 00:02:51,200
to do it.

32
00:02:51,200 --> 00:02:59,560
Then she met a guy at a coffee shop named Connor and talked to him about getting training

33
00:02:59,560 --> 00:03:01,320
and everything else.

34
00:03:01,320 --> 00:03:09,440
I believe they went to a warehouse where she got to see this horrifying creature in a pit,

35
00:03:09,440 --> 00:03:15,360
locked up, which really drove home what they were saying, which is that the world is full

36
00:03:15,360 --> 00:03:22,320
of horrible things that we have to keep at bay so humanity can continue to live in a

37
00:03:22,320 --> 00:03:27,640
sea of denial and fake reality.

38
00:03:27,640 --> 00:03:30,280
That's where we're at right now.

39
00:03:30,280 --> 00:03:40,560
Desiree has been working for the past week and a half with her contact, Connor, who has

40
00:03:40,560 --> 00:03:49,200
been running Desiree through her paces, how to get out of a place fast, a lot of military

41
00:03:49,200 --> 00:03:55,240
training basically, how to clear a room, all the different call signs, everything like

42
00:03:55,240 --> 00:04:04,960
that, so that when you're in a situation, you can get out of there quickly and hopefully

43
00:04:04,960 --> 00:04:07,040
as safely as possible.

44
00:04:07,040 --> 00:04:11,920
That's what it's been like for you for a little while and you're starting to wonder when you're

45
00:04:11,920 --> 00:04:14,560
actually going to do anything.

46
00:04:14,560 --> 00:04:20,060
Connor finally shows up about a week later and says, well, I think we're about ready

47
00:04:20,060 --> 00:04:21,320
for this.

48
00:04:21,320 --> 00:04:26,800
Well, we have to be ready for this because do you remember when you were in the senator's

49
00:04:26,800 --> 00:04:31,760
place and you found that flyer that had all those bands on it?

50
00:04:31,760 --> 00:04:34,520
One of them was the Grave's End?

51
00:04:34,520 --> 00:04:39,200
Yeah, that was the one that you were telling me we're going to be going after because there

52
00:04:39,200 --> 00:04:41,760
are apparently some horrible cultists.

53
00:04:41,760 --> 00:04:42,760
Right.

54
00:04:42,760 --> 00:04:49,600
Well, that particular flyer speaks to people who are sensitive to it.

55
00:04:49,600 --> 00:04:56,280
It has a, I hate to say spell because I don't think it's a magical thing, but it calls out

56
00:04:56,280 --> 00:05:01,280
to people who are psychically linked somehow.

57
00:05:01,280 --> 00:05:03,720
That's a hell of a way to do your advertising.

58
00:05:03,720 --> 00:05:11,280
Yeah, it gets people there who are then more willing to go along with whatever they're

59
00:05:11,280 --> 00:05:12,280
doing.

60
00:05:12,280 --> 00:05:17,840
Anyway, tonight's their show and we need to shut it down.

61
00:05:17,840 --> 00:05:22,280
Their music is, they call it quantum mathematics basically.

62
00:05:22,280 --> 00:05:28,480
It's very complex mathematics that can cause rips in space time.

63
00:05:28,480 --> 00:05:34,280
I don't know if I believe it or not, but I've seen enough crazy crap to know that when I'm

64
00:05:34,280 --> 00:05:37,640
told to deal with something to just deal with it.

65
00:05:37,640 --> 00:05:40,080
And let alone a concert that's going to be ruined by math.

66
00:05:40,080 --> 00:05:42,920
I mean, that's worth shutting down on its own.

67
00:05:42,920 --> 00:05:44,760
Yes, absolutely.

68
00:05:44,760 --> 00:05:45,760
Math rock.

69
00:05:45,760 --> 00:05:46,760
I mean, come on.

70
00:05:46,760 --> 00:05:47,760
Maybe when you're five.

71
00:05:47,760 --> 00:05:48,760
Yeah.

72
00:05:48,760 --> 00:05:51,080
So make sure you have all your gear.

73
00:05:51,080 --> 00:05:53,240
Now here's a question just out of character.

74
00:05:53,240 --> 00:05:55,640
They're training you on how to use a gun.

75
00:05:55,640 --> 00:05:56,640
Sure.

76
00:05:56,640 --> 00:05:57,640
Or you want to.

77
00:05:57,640 --> 00:06:00,240
Do you want to carry a gun or are you worried about that?

78
00:06:00,240 --> 00:06:02,320
What kind of, you know?

79
00:06:02,320 --> 00:06:06,800
Let me look at my character sheet and make a determination.

80
00:06:06,800 --> 00:06:07,800
Sure.

81
00:06:07,800 --> 00:06:11,160
See, did I take anything for guns?

82
00:06:11,160 --> 00:06:14,360
Is it bad for me to have a gun?

83
00:06:14,360 --> 00:06:16,600
Actually firearms isn't bad.

84
00:06:16,600 --> 00:06:18,640
Will you shoot yourself with your gun?

85
00:06:18,640 --> 00:06:21,720
I still might, but I've actually got some points in that.

86
00:06:21,720 --> 00:06:24,120
So let's hope not.

87
00:06:24,120 --> 00:06:26,640
So I'll probably, I'll probably take a gun with me.

88
00:06:26,640 --> 00:06:27,880
Okay, cool.

89
00:06:27,880 --> 00:06:29,280
You guys, it's pretty late.

90
00:06:29,280 --> 00:06:36,280
The way it's going to work is the members of the cult are going to be locking the front

91
00:06:36,280 --> 00:06:42,640
and back door, basically keeping everybody inside while they do their set and do this

92
00:06:42,640 --> 00:06:47,200
advanced quantum, mathematic, whatever thing.

93
00:06:47,200 --> 00:06:48,800
Connor's really sketchy on it.

94
00:06:48,800 --> 00:06:51,660
He goes, so we're going to have two people going in.

95
00:06:51,660 --> 00:06:55,000
You and I are going to go in from the back door.

96
00:06:55,000 --> 00:06:58,160
We're going to have two people going in from the front door.

97
00:06:58,160 --> 00:07:01,640
You're going to break into the back and then I want you to work forward.

98
00:07:01,640 --> 00:07:07,160
Our main goal is to try to get people out as quickly as possible.

99
00:07:07,160 --> 00:07:12,760
And you basically want to get people to go out the back door while working towards the

100
00:07:12,760 --> 00:07:14,040
front door.

101
00:07:14,040 --> 00:07:19,800
You're going to have on goggles because we're going to cut the power so that you can see

102
00:07:19,800 --> 00:07:21,160
what's going on.

103
00:07:21,160 --> 00:07:27,360
And you're also going to have a patch both on your head and on both shoulders so that

104
00:07:27,360 --> 00:07:33,160
they can tell who you are in the darkness because they can see the patch will light

105
00:07:33,160 --> 00:07:36,160
up and so they don't accidentally.

106
00:07:36,160 --> 00:07:37,160
Question.

107
00:07:37,160 --> 00:07:38,160
Yeah.

108
00:07:38,160 --> 00:07:40,360
We're supposed to get people out of there.

109
00:07:40,360 --> 00:07:42,960
How the fuck are they going to see anything?

110
00:07:42,960 --> 00:07:50,040
Well, we're going to have the exits basically lit up because there's lights right outside.

111
00:07:50,040 --> 00:07:57,000
So you turn off all the lights, you open up both doors, light comes flooding in, they

112
00:07:57,000 --> 00:07:58,300
run for the door.

113
00:07:58,300 --> 00:08:03,560
But the main problem is that we have to take the band out before they get too far into

114
00:08:03,560 --> 00:08:09,100
their set or the fans are going to turn on us like rabbit dogs.

115
00:08:09,100 --> 00:08:13,000
So we've got to we got to try to stop that from happening.

116
00:08:13,000 --> 00:08:14,880
All right.

117
00:08:14,880 --> 00:08:18,320
That night you guys get to this little dive bar.

118
00:08:18,320 --> 00:08:23,860
It's the other side of the tracks economically depressed area.

119
00:08:23,860 --> 00:08:25,560
The parking lot is full of people.

120
00:08:25,560 --> 00:08:32,080
So you go around the back and there's two guys on the front and you guys all have firearms

121
00:08:32,080 --> 00:08:36,040
and the two guys in front have semi automatics.

122
00:08:36,040 --> 00:08:42,320
You have a nine millimeter and Connor has a relatively big gun to like a semi automatic

123
00:08:42,320 --> 00:08:45,520
and he goes, you know, you're still learning.

124
00:08:45,520 --> 00:08:52,260
So you'll graduate to this size gun at some point, but I don't want you accidentally shooting

125
00:08:52,260 --> 00:08:56,560
someone or yourself, you know, your first time out.

126
00:08:56,560 --> 00:08:57,560
Yeah.

127
00:08:57,560 --> 00:09:03,160
And hear the music bumping through the walls and over the radio, you hear someone say,

128
00:09:03,160 --> 00:09:07,280
I thought you said that the place was going to be locked up.

129
00:09:07,280 --> 00:09:11,280
A couple just walked out and kind of go, so just let them go.

130
00:09:11,280 --> 00:09:15,080
If they got out of there before the band's trap was sprung, just let them go.

131
00:09:15,080 --> 00:09:16,640
Yeah, they look older.

132
00:09:16,640 --> 00:09:18,920
I don't think one of them looks sick.

133
00:09:18,920 --> 00:09:23,180
I don't really think they they knew what they were getting into.

134
00:09:23,180 --> 00:09:24,680
Not in a math metal.

135
00:09:24,680 --> 00:09:26,200
Probably not in math metal.

136
00:09:26,200 --> 00:09:27,200
No.

137
00:09:27,200 --> 00:09:30,400
And you guys are a actually you guys would have code names.

138
00:09:30,400 --> 00:09:31,400
Yeah.

139
00:09:31,400 --> 00:09:35,840
And I said it to have you pick the code name just because I gave you an opportunity to

140
00:09:35,840 --> 00:09:36,840
fuck with me.

141
00:09:36,840 --> 00:09:38,800
They're going to call you jailbird.

142
00:09:38,800 --> 00:09:39,800
Oh, charming.

143
00:09:39,800 --> 00:09:46,120
All right, jailbird, crack the cage and they wait for you to start opening the back door

144
00:09:46,120 --> 00:09:50,880
and they're going to the front door is open because these this two older people had come

145
00:09:50,880 --> 00:09:51,880
out.

146
00:09:51,880 --> 00:09:52,880
All right.

147
00:09:52,880 --> 00:09:53,880
Just roll against your eye.

148
00:09:53,880 --> 00:09:56,600
Do you have locksmith writer lock pick locksmithing?

149
00:09:56,600 --> 00:09:57,600
Yeah.

150
00:09:57,600 --> 00:09:58,600
Yeah.

151
00:09:58,600 --> 00:10:05,600
I forgot to check mark stuff that I did correctly because I forgot this is like the other game.

152
00:10:05,600 --> 00:10:07,160
So, yeah.

153
00:10:07,160 --> 00:10:08,280
Oops.

154
00:10:08,280 --> 00:10:11,240
I got a 49 under my 60.

155
00:10:11,240 --> 00:10:12,400
Excellent.

156
00:10:12,400 --> 00:10:19,600
So you pop open the lock and the door creaks to one side and this music, this weird piping

157
00:10:19,600 --> 00:10:23,800
sound doesn't sound like rock, doesn't sound like jazz fusion, nothing.

158
00:10:23,800 --> 00:10:32,040
It just sounds really bizarre and the people in the room are in this weird hypnotic swaying.

159
00:10:32,040 --> 00:10:39,920
It's almost like a mosh pit in slow motion when you look into it and you see that the

160
00:10:39,920 --> 00:10:46,520
people who are dancing, their faces look like they're turning bestial.

161
00:10:46,520 --> 00:10:51,600
They've got fangs, their faces are contorted as this music washes over them and then the

162
00:10:51,600 --> 00:10:57,000
band looks like a Norwegian death metal band with the white paint and different symbols,

163
00:10:57,000 --> 00:10:59,460
you know, in black on their face.

164
00:10:59,460 --> 00:11:06,400
You hear in the headphones to the guys up front say, ah, fuck, we're here too late.

165
00:11:06,400 --> 00:11:07,400
All right.

166
00:11:07,400 --> 00:11:08,400
You know what you have to do?

167
00:11:08,400 --> 00:11:10,280
And then you just start hearing gunfire.

168
00:11:10,280 --> 00:11:11,940
Oh, shit.

169
00:11:11,940 --> 00:11:14,840
And Connor goes, OK, they're going to come towards us.

170
00:11:14,840 --> 00:11:16,880
Just start firing.

171
00:11:16,880 --> 00:11:19,160
Wait, start firing at who?

172
00:11:19,160 --> 00:11:20,160
At them.

173
00:11:20,160 --> 00:11:21,160
Look at them.

174
00:11:21,160 --> 00:11:23,720
Look at the teeth and the fucked up faces.

175
00:11:23,720 --> 00:11:25,440
They're not human anymore.

176
00:11:25,440 --> 00:11:26,440
Shit.

177
00:11:26,440 --> 00:11:28,000
Just fire.

178
00:11:28,000 --> 00:11:37,280
And this fucking huge wave of these half transformed creatures start coming towards you.

179
00:11:37,280 --> 00:11:43,520
It's like if you can hit the guitar player anywhere, that would be very helpful right

180
00:11:43,520 --> 00:11:44,520
now.

181
00:11:44,520 --> 00:11:45,520
And he starts firing off this gun.

182
00:11:45,520 --> 00:11:49,920
So give me a roll to see if you can hit the guitar player.

183
00:11:49,920 --> 00:11:52,440
OK.

184
00:11:52,440 --> 00:11:55,800
I got a 51 under my 60 for firearms.

185
00:11:55,800 --> 00:11:56,800
Awesome.

186
00:11:56,800 --> 00:11:59,920
You clip the guitar player.

187
00:11:59,920 --> 00:12:04,520
Obviously that messes them up enough that they realize what's going on.

188
00:12:04,520 --> 00:12:09,400
They kind of come out of their trance and you just see all these bodies falling in front

189
00:12:09,400 --> 00:12:10,720
of you.

190
00:12:10,720 --> 00:12:14,360
They run behind the stage and Connor goes, quick, go around to the side.

191
00:12:14,360 --> 00:12:16,840
There must be some side interest we don't know about.

192
00:12:16,840 --> 00:12:18,920
Do you run to the side?

193
00:12:18,920 --> 00:12:22,560
I want to move to the side, but I want to do it as stealthily as possible.

194
00:12:22,560 --> 00:12:23,560
All right.

195
00:12:23,560 --> 00:12:26,560
Give me a roll.

196
00:12:26,560 --> 00:12:29,840
59 under my 80.

197
00:12:29,840 --> 00:12:30,960
OK, cool.

198
00:12:30,960 --> 00:12:35,480
So you get over the side and you see that there must be some kind of, you know, one

199
00:12:35,480 --> 00:12:41,640
of those shitty club bathrooms with the little windows at the very top.

200
00:12:41,640 --> 00:12:42,960
Oh, yeah.

201
00:12:42,960 --> 00:12:49,160
Well, you see guys in face paint starting to slowly wiggle their way out.

202
00:12:49,160 --> 00:12:53,320
Connor goes, yep, I'm going to try firing again.

203
00:12:53,320 --> 00:12:57,680
Oh, shit, I got a 62.

204
00:12:57,680 --> 00:12:58,680
That's not helpful.

205
00:12:58,680 --> 00:12:59,680
OK.

206
00:12:59,680 --> 00:13:00,960
Is there a push mechanic in this?

207
00:13:00,960 --> 00:13:01,960
No, there's not.

208
00:13:01,960 --> 00:13:06,280
But you can take another shot because you get like I think you get like three shots per

209
00:13:06,280 --> 00:13:09,720
pull and they're wiggling their way out.

210
00:13:09,720 --> 00:13:12,880
Oh, I got a 46.

211
00:13:12,880 --> 00:13:13,880
That's that time.

212
00:13:13,880 --> 00:13:19,840
So you start shooting at these guys and a few of the bullets miss a few of the bullets

213
00:13:19,840 --> 00:13:20,840
hit.

214
00:13:20,840 --> 00:13:23,880
You know that you've killed at least two of them.

215
00:13:23,880 --> 00:13:27,960
Why the other three start running off into the darkness?

216
00:13:27,960 --> 00:13:32,400
Can I have actually aimed one of those shots to try and for the little window that they're

217
00:13:32,400 --> 00:13:38,760
wiggling out of like I'm guessing it's swings to try and break the glass so that way if

218
00:13:38,760 --> 00:13:43,040
they're scrambling out, hopefully they get cut, maybe we'll leave a little bit of a trail

219
00:13:43,040 --> 00:13:44,040
for us.

220
00:13:44,040 --> 00:13:45,040
You know what?

221
00:13:45,040 --> 00:13:46,040
You don't need to roll for that.

222
00:13:46,040 --> 00:13:47,040
That's a great idea.

223
00:13:47,040 --> 00:13:48,040
So we'll just say that's what you do.

224
00:13:48,040 --> 00:13:52,160
You fire off and you hit the little window and cause blood.

225
00:13:52,160 --> 00:13:56,200
And so three of them get away, two of them you know you've killed.

226
00:13:56,200 --> 00:14:00,240
And I think that realization hits you really hard.

227
00:14:00,240 --> 00:14:06,120
The people in the club hit you hard too because you know from what the other agents were saying

228
00:14:06,120 --> 00:14:11,400
that they were human and that you had to get there at a certain time and you guys missed

229
00:14:11,400 --> 00:14:12,400
that window.

230
00:14:12,400 --> 00:14:13,880
They bungled it.

231
00:14:13,880 --> 00:14:16,560
Yeah, they started transforming.

232
00:14:16,560 --> 00:14:19,440
And so even though they were transforming, they were still human.

233
00:14:19,440 --> 00:14:21,000
So give me a sand check please.

234
00:14:21,000 --> 00:14:26,520
I don't remember what my sanity is at.

235
00:14:26,520 --> 00:14:31,360
I got a 35 under 44.

236
00:14:31,360 --> 00:14:32,360
Okay, cool.

237
00:14:32,360 --> 00:14:34,400
So you're doing okay.

238
00:14:34,400 --> 00:14:36,720
You're processing it at this point.

239
00:14:36,720 --> 00:14:40,600
Your adrenaline's high and you're not, you're just, I'm not going to think about this right

240
00:14:40,600 --> 00:14:41,600
this second.

241
00:14:41,600 --> 00:14:43,960
I'm just going to deal with what's in front of me.

242
00:14:43,960 --> 00:14:51,520
And then the gunfire stops and Connor says, hey, you know, come back over here.

243
00:14:51,520 --> 00:14:52,520
Fucking nightmare.

244
00:14:52,520 --> 00:14:54,120
Yeah, you're telling me.

245
00:14:54,120 --> 00:14:56,700
How could you guys have gotten the time so wrong?

246
00:14:56,700 --> 00:14:57,760
It's a club.

247
00:14:57,760 --> 00:15:03,360
We thought they were going on 10 minutes later and we didn't want to bust in too early because

248
00:15:03,360 --> 00:15:05,520
we wanted to make sure we got them.

249
00:15:05,520 --> 00:15:07,600
Things like this happen sometimes.

250
00:15:07,600 --> 00:15:14,280
As he's saying that you turn your head to the horrific sight of bodies that have hit

251
00:15:14,280 --> 00:15:17,560
the floor, just laying everywhere.

252
00:15:17,560 --> 00:15:26,760
Just then you hear the sound of sirens and one of the guys that is with you says, ah

253
00:15:26,760 --> 00:15:31,720
crap, I bet that couple that left before we started called the cops.

254
00:15:31,720 --> 00:15:34,120
We need to get, we need to get out of here.

255
00:15:34,120 --> 00:15:35,740
You guys can't handle the cops?

256
00:15:35,740 --> 00:15:37,800
We don't want to handle the cops.

257
00:15:37,800 --> 00:15:41,000
It's just easier if we don't let them deal with this.

258
00:15:41,000 --> 00:15:42,000
Fine.

259
00:15:42,000 --> 00:15:46,000
So seeing as you assholes gave me the nickname jailbird, I definitely don't want to be caught

260
00:15:46,000 --> 00:15:47,000
around here.

261
00:15:47,000 --> 00:15:48,000
True.

262
00:15:48,000 --> 00:15:49,080
And it's a good nickname.

263
00:15:49,080 --> 00:15:52,720
And they all start walking out the back.

264
00:15:52,720 --> 00:15:54,960
Dicks.

265
00:15:54,960 --> 00:16:00,560
Before I fast forward to what happens with Michelle, is there anything that you want

266
00:16:00,560 --> 00:16:04,640
to ask about in game or do or whatever?

267
00:16:04,640 --> 00:16:11,800
Because it's about a week between when this happens at the club and when we're going to

268
00:16:11,800 --> 00:16:12,800
bring Michelle in.

269
00:16:12,800 --> 00:16:14,720
I mean, I'm trying to remember.

270
00:16:14,720 --> 00:16:22,200
I think my deal was just this one starting thing and then it would roll out from there.

271
00:16:22,200 --> 00:16:23,200
Right?

272
00:16:23,200 --> 00:16:26,880
Well, basically they'll, they wanted you to do jobs for them.

273
00:16:26,880 --> 00:16:28,800
They didn't really put a number on it.

274
00:16:28,800 --> 00:16:30,000
They just wanted you to work.

275
00:16:30,000 --> 00:16:31,000
Okay.

276
00:16:31,000 --> 00:16:32,000
I'm just trying to remember.

277
00:16:32,000 --> 00:16:35,280
I mean, probably more than anything, she's going to spend time with Sonia.

278
00:16:35,280 --> 00:16:36,280
Okay.

279
00:16:36,280 --> 00:16:37,520
Like wedding planning.

280
00:16:37,520 --> 00:16:40,680
You have a really nice week with Sonia.

281
00:16:40,680 --> 00:16:47,840
At the same time, you're also having lots of flashbacks to that night and really processing

282
00:16:47,840 --> 00:16:49,040
what happened.

283
00:16:49,040 --> 00:16:50,040
It was all over the news.

284
00:16:50,040 --> 00:16:51,900
There was a mass shooting.

285
00:16:51,900 --> 00:16:53,840
They haven't found the shooter yet.

286
00:16:53,840 --> 00:17:00,400
You have a feeling that the FBI or somebody or whatever this agency you're working for

287
00:17:00,400 --> 00:17:04,800
has squashed the story in a way.

288
00:17:04,800 --> 00:17:10,400
Usually when a bunch of people die at a club, people talk about it for longer than two or

289
00:17:10,400 --> 00:17:14,640
three days, but this literally went away relatively fast.

290
00:17:14,640 --> 00:17:21,040
Then at some point towards the end of the week, Connor calls you again and he says,

291
00:17:21,040 --> 00:17:25,840
so I know you weren't too fond of Jailbird, but we have to come up with a good call name

292
00:17:25,840 --> 00:17:26,840
for you.

293
00:17:26,840 --> 00:17:29,960
I'm assuming that means you've got another job for me then.

294
00:17:29,960 --> 00:17:30,960
Yeah.

295
00:17:30,960 --> 00:17:31,960
We've got some work.

296
00:17:31,960 --> 00:17:34,400
See, we work in cells.

297
00:17:34,400 --> 00:17:37,400
There are three to four people in every cell.

298
00:17:37,400 --> 00:17:45,520
The guys we worked with were in cell K. You and I are in cell M. Usually the call names

299
00:17:45,520 --> 00:17:47,820
are all similar.

300
00:17:47,820 --> 00:17:52,360
So starting with the letter of the cell, at least that's the way the Cowboys used to do

301
00:17:52,360 --> 00:17:56,040
it before the government got involved again.

302
00:17:56,040 --> 00:18:00,660
I'm saying that we should just do whatever code name we want to do.

303
00:18:00,660 --> 00:18:05,000
So you have anything you would like to be called?

304
00:18:05,000 --> 00:18:09,060
I'm a little bit more worried about the job than I am my call name right now, especially

305
00:18:09,060 --> 00:18:12,160
considering what happened last time.

306
00:18:12,160 --> 00:18:14,440
Reality is a chaotic thing.

307
00:18:14,440 --> 00:18:17,760
And these missions are seldom easy.

308
00:18:17,760 --> 00:18:20,040
Yeah, a lot of fucking people died.

309
00:18:20,040 --> 00:18:21,600
No good reason.

310
00:18:21,600 --> 00:18:24,640
No, it wasn't a good reason.

311
00:18:24,640 --> 00:18:30,440
I think that's the hardest part about the job is that there's no rhyme or reason to

312
00:18:30,440 --> 00:18:31,720
any of it.

313
00:18:31,720 --> 00:18:36,760
And not just the fact that we didn't bust down the door soon enough, which is a mistake

314
00:18:36,760 --> 00:18:39,700
that I'm going to live with forever.

315
00:18:39,700 --> 00:18:48,520
It's one of those situations where you can either act or you can have decision paralysis.

316
00:18:48,520 --> 00:18:51,220
And that's sometimes even worse.

317
00:18:51,220 --> 00:18:56,920
Had we not done what we did, that group would have been turned into...

318
00:18:56,920 --> 00:18:59,440
Okay, I get it.

319
00:18:59,440 --> 00:19:00,800
Spare me.

320
00:19:00,800 --> 00:19:01,800
It was bullshit.

321
00:19:01,800 --> 00:19:03,320
It shouldn't have happened that way.

322
00:19:03,320 --> 00:19:08,880
You know, chaos and the world aside, we need to do better.

323
00:19:08,880 --> 00:19:13,160
And especially if I'm going to be a part of this.

324
00:19:13,160 --> 00:19:21,120
Well, then now that you've had your first foray out, I'll have you involved in the planning

325
00:19:21,120 --> 00:19:26,880
more and then that way you can give your input and see how it goes.

326
00:19:26,880 --> 00:19:28,160
Okay.

327
00:19:28,160 --> 00:19:31,160
And Mesa, that's the call name you can use.

328
00:19:31,160 --> 00:19:32,160
Oh, okay.

329
00:19:32,160 --> 00:19:33,800
Mesa it is then.

330
00:19:33,800 --> 00:19:39,520
So anyway, remember we were talking about the two, the older couple that left, they

331
00:19:39,520 --> 00:19:40,520
weren't really old.

332
00:19:40,520 --> 00:19:43,560
They were just not those kids in their 20s.

333
00:19:43,560 --> 00:19:46,680
Yeah, I know that feeling.

334
00:19:46,680 --> 00:19:51,240
That, well, I think they're the ones that called the cops.

335
00:19:51,240 --> 00:19:53,000
And so I did some digging.

336
00:19:53,000 --> 00:20:01,080
They're both professors, but one of them is working on this really interesting project.

337
00:20:01,080 --> 00:20:06,280
And I don't think she understands quite what she's in for.

338
00:20:06,280 --> 00:20:13,480
So I want to make contact with her and see if it's possible for her to help us out.

339
00:20:13,480 --> 00:20:20,160
Basically, they found this huge cube made out of skeletons and they've been digging

340
00:20:20,160 --> 00:20:22,100
it up for the past week.

341
00:20:22,100 --> 00:20:26,240
And every day we've been getting more and more phone calls from different agencies who

342
00:20:26,240 --> 00:20:32,560
are a little worried about them pulling out a huge cube out of the ground of skeletons.

343
00:20:32,560 --> 00:20:37,880
So yeah, I kind of feel like that might, you know, concern a few people.

344
00:20:37,880 --> 00:20:40,760
Anyway, we're going to have to get rid of the cube.

345
00:20:40,760 --> 00:20:46,600
But I also think that the way that she's been handling herself indicates that she might

346
00:20:46,600 --> 00:20:52,240
be someone that could help us in the future, be part of some of the work.

347
00:20:52,240 --> 00:20:54,000
So you need help with the recruitment?

348
00:20:54,000 --> 00:20:55,000
Well, yeah.

349
00:20:55,000 --> 00:21:01,640
I think somebody that's new and, you know, doesn't look like they just stepped out of

350
00:21:01,640 --> 00:21:06,200
a soldier of fortune magazine might be a way to go.

351
00:21:06,200 --> 00:21:07,200
Have you met me?

352
00:21:07,200 --> 00:21:09,000
Well, you're better than I am.

353
00:21:09,000 --> 00:21:10,000
That's all I'm saying.

354
00:21:10,000 --> 00:21:12,360
OK, I'll give you that.

355
00:21:12,360 --> 00:21:13,360
You're so gracious.

356
00:21:13,360 --> 00:21:14,360
Always to a fault.

357
00:21:14,360 --> 00:21:22,240
So we're going to go over there tonight and have a conversation and see where what we

358
00:21:22,240 --> 00:21:28,360
can do at the very least will get some information about whether or not she can help us.

359
00:21:28,360 --> 00:21:30,040
And then if not, we just walk away.

360
00:21:30,040 --> 00:21:32,440
No, no, we don't even have to take guns tonight.

361
00:21:32,440 --> 00:21:35,400
I mean, we should always have guns, but nobody will die.

362
00:21:35,400 --> 00:21:36,400
I promise.

363
00:21:36,400 --> 00:21:39,720
Don't make promises you can't keep.

364
00:21:39,720 --> 00:21:47,800
So that night you guys go out to this suburb with these really nice houses.

365
00:21:47,800 --> 00:21:50,840
You have probably worked this area at some point.

366
00:21:50,840 --> 00:21:54,000
It's not like really posh or anything, but it's good places.

367
00:21:54,000 --> 00:21:59,320
So like, all right, they don't have any kind of security, but the back door is locked.

368
00:21:59,320 --> 00:22:02,280
So Jimmy that open for me or get it.

369
00:22:02,280 --> 00:22:03,280
Do your thing.

370
00:22:03,280 --> 00:22:04,280
Cool.

371
00:22:04,280 --> 00:22:05,720
That'll be a really good introduction.

372
00:22:05,720 --> 00:22:07,320
Hi, we just broke in here.

373
00:22:07,320 --> 00:22:09,040
Would you like to join us?

374
00:22:09,040 --> 00:22:13,440
Just do it.

375
00:22:13,440 --> 00:22:14,440
I did a bad.

376
00:22:14,440 --> 00:22:16,680
What did you get?

377
00:22:16,680 --> 00:22:19,440
I got a ninety seven over my sixty.

378
00:22:19,440 --> 00:22:22,360
So yeah, that is bad.

379
00:22:22,360 --> 00:22:28,920
And unfortunately they don't have a push mechanic or maybe fortunately because the Porsche mechanic

380
00:22:28,920 --> 00:22:32,120
I've seen decimate parties before.

381
00:22:32,120 --> 00:22:34,720
So yeah, no, I think that's fair enough.

382
00:22:34,720 --> 00:22:40,520
I think in a way she kind of wanted to not break in very well.

383
00:22:40,520 --> 00:22:44,360
It's like she's very unhappy about this process.

384
00:22:44,360 --> 00:22:47,320
He goes, God damn it.

385
00:22:47,320 --> 00:22:48,320
All right.

386
00:22:48,320 --> 00:22:53,400
Oh, damn, they've they've really fooled me.

387
00:22:53,400 --> 00:22:57,200
Well, kind of looks around.

388
00:22:57,200 --> 00:23:02,320
How am I going to get in here now?

389
00:23:02,320 --> 00:23:04,720
Have you considered the front door and knocking?

390
00:23:04,720 --> 00:23:08,960
Well, I'd like to look through the place before we meet her to see if we're even going to

391
00:23:08,960 --> 00:23:09,960
meet her.

392
00:23:09,960 --> 00:23:10,960
That's the thing.

393
00:23:10,960 --> 00:23:16,900
Because if we look through the place, kind of check things out and then make a decision

394
00:23:16,900 --> 00:23:21,440
on whether or not she's going to be someone we want to actually talk to, because there's

395
00:23:21,440 --> 00:23:23,960
only so much you can dig up.

396
00:23:23,960 --> 00:23:27,640
She doesn't have a big Internet footprint, you know.

397
00:23:27,640 --> 00:23:33,520
Well then why don't we go to the front and ask about doing an interview?

398
00:23:33,520 --> 00:23:34,520
She's not here.

399
00:23:34,520 --> 00:23:35,520
Oh, she's not here.

400
00:23:35,520 --> 00:23:38,120
She's breaking in and we're going to look around.

401
00:23:38,120 --> 00:23:42,440
Oh, well, that was the part of the information that I'm sorry.

402
00:23:42,440 --> 00:23:45,480
Didn't mean to need to brief you more, I guess.

403
00:23:45,480 --> 00:23:46,480
Anyway, come on.

404
00:23:46,480 --> 00:23:47,480
Let's go.

405
00:23:47,480 --> 00:23:49,200
Yeah, like if the person's even home.

406
00:23:49,200 --> 00:23:54,480
Well, I'm not going to have you break into a house unless it's like super late with someone

407
00:23:54,480 --> 00:23:55,480
in the house.

408
00:23:55,480 --> 00:23:56,480
I mean, I have standards.

409
00:23:56,480 --> 00:23:57,480
Hence my confusion.

410
00:23:57,480 --> 00:23:58,480
Barely.

411
00:23:58,480 --> 00:23:59,480
He walks.

412
00:23:59,480 --> 00:24:03,480
He goes, let's go to the front door.

413
00:24:03,480 --> 00:24:05,880
Maybe we can make that work.

414
00:24:05,880 --> 00:24:10,880
You guys go around to the front.

415
00:24:10,880 --> 00:24:18,040
So he goes, all right, try this door and you go up to start doing something and you realize

416
00:24:18,040 --> 00:24:24,200
that the door, whoever lives here, forgot to lock it.

417
00:24:24,200 --> 00:24:26,880
He goes, seriously?

418
00:24:26,880 --> 00:24:27,880
Okay.

419
00:24:27,880 --> 00:24:29,280
After you, friend.

420
00:24:29,280 --> 00:24:31,280
Let's go in here.

421
00:24:31,280 --> 00:24:33,680
All right, you check the bedroom.

422
00:24:33,680 --> 00:24:37,480
I'm going to check over here.

423
00:24:37,480 --> 00:24:42,200
Just look for anything that screams, hey, I'm a cultist.

424
00:24:42,200 --> 00:24:43,200
Cool.

425
00:24:43,200 --> 00:24:47,000
So I'll check the closet for ceremonial robes first.

426
00:24:47,000 --> 00:24:48,000
Got it.

427
00:24:48,000 --> 00:24:53,560
You guys split up and you're looking through all this stuff and you, after a few minutes,

428
00:24:53,560 --> 00:25:00,440
start smelling eggs and hearing crackle of food being made.

429
00:25:00,440 --> 00:25:05,600
And then you hear the garage door open and voices.

430
00:25:05,600 --> 00:25:13,680
And Connor calls and goes, hey, come out here.

431
00:25:13,680 --> 00:25:15,920
Our friend is home.

432
00:25:15,920 --> 00:25:17,720
Come out here.

433
00:25:17,720 --> 00:25:19,600
I don't think she's a cultist.

434
00:25:19,600 --> 00:25:20,600
Cool.

435
00:25:20,600 --> 00:25:23,560
I think that maybe this is not a good way to introduce ourselves.

436
00:25:23,560 --> 00:25:24,560
Well it's too late now.

437
00:25:24,560 --> 00:25:25,560
Nope.

438
00:25:25,560 --> 00:25:26,560
Out the fucking window.

439
00:25:26,560 --> 00:25:27,560
So you go out the window?

440
00:25:27,560 --> 00:25:28,560
I'll go out the window.

441
00:25:28,560 --> 00:25:31,760
I'm going to go out the window and go around to the front of the house and knock like an

442
00:25:31,760 --> 00:25:35,760
actual person.

443
00:25:35,760 --> 00:25:42,960
Perla, this guy's eating this egg sandwich in front of you and goes, my friend will be

444
00:25:42,960 --> 00:25:44,320
out in a second.

445
00:25:44,320 --> 00:25:47,840
You hear him yell and then all of a sudden there's a knock at the front door.

446
00:25:47,840 --> 00:25:50,840
And he goes, oh, son of a bitch.

447
00:25:50,840 --> 00:25:52,760
Can you get that please?

448
00:25:52,760 --> 00:25:55,080
What are you doing in my house?

449
00:25:55,080 --> 00:25:58,240
We can't get to that until you answer your front door.

450
00:25:58,240 --> 00:26:01,120
Uh, okay.

451
00:26:01,120 --> 00:26:03,560
So I go to the front door.

452
00:26:03,560 --> 00:26:06,400
You open the door and standing there is?

453
00:26:06,400 --> 00:26:12,000
I don't think I actually have thought too hard about what Desiree looks like.

454
00:26:12,000 --> 00:26:18,880
I imagine she's kind of a bit reedy looking, very slim of build and very short cut black

455
00:26:18,880 --> 00:26:24,080
hair probably with blue eyes and a couple of face piercings.

456
00:26:24,080 --> 00:26:26,480
Perla, she's got dark hair.

457
00:26:26,480 --> 00:26:29,640
She's early forties, but she's got like a pretty athletic build.

458
00:26:29,640 --> 00:26:34,680
So she goes jogging all the time and whatever.

459
00:26:34,680 --> 00:26:35,680
I don't know.

460
00:26:35,680 --> 00:26:38,240
She looks kind of bookish at the same time.

461
00:26:38,240 --> 00:26:39,800
Like you can tell.

462
00:26:39,800 --> 00:26:45,880
Yeah, she keeps fit, but most of the time she's spending with her nose buried in a book

463
00:26:45,880 --> 00:26:47,280
somewhere.

464
00:26:47,280 --> 00:26:51,720
You didn't really come to the front door after sneaking out a window, did you?

465
00:26:51,720 --> 00:26:53,240
You didn't really just do that.

466
00:26:53,240 --> 00:26:55,740
You expected me to be that rude.

467
00:26:55,740 --> 00:26:57,640
I mean, we're already in the house.

468
00:26:57,640 --> 00:26:59,240
She knows we're here.

469
00:26:59,240 --> 00:27:00,240
It doesn't matter.

470
00:27:00,240 --> 00:27:02,520
It doesn't mean that I have to be rude.

471
00:27:02,520 --> 00:27:04,200
Hi, I'm Desiree.

472
00:27:04,200 --> 00:27:05,840
I'm with these assholes.

473
00:27:05,840 --> 00:27:06,840
I'm sorry.

474
00:27:06,840 --> 00:27:10,480
Gee Mesa, great use of your call name.

475
00:27:10,480 --> 00:27:12,680
Hi, Desiree.

476
00:27:12,680 --> 00:27:16,440
My name's Perla.

477
00:27:16,440 --> 00:27:24,200
And I turned to Connor and I go, so I think she's the smartest of the three stooges here.

478
00:27:24,200 --> 00:27:25,480
Why are you in my house?

479
00:27:25,480 --> 00:27:26,660
What is going on?

480
00:27:26,660 --> 00:27:31,080
Have you heard the word of our lords, the Mesopotamian gods that apparently want to destroy

481
00:27:31,080 --> 00:27:32,080
the world?

482
00:27:32,080 --> 00:27:33,080
Out.

483
00:27:33,080 --> 00:27:39,200
Look, you were at the club a week ago during the massacre, correct?

484
00:27:39,200 --> 00:27:40,200
Yes.

485
00:27:40,200 --> 00:27:44,160
Hearing all this weird music from that band, The Graves End.

486
00:27:44,160 --> 00:27:45,840
So so douchey.

487
00:27:45,840 --> 00:27:46,840
Yeah.

488
00:27:46,840 --> 00:27:51,920
And the whole room started feeling like it was spinning and my husband got really, really

489
00:27:51,920 --> 00:27:55,640
sick and so I dragged him outside.

490
00:27:55,640 --> 00:28:01,720
And then you saw men go in the front and then you heard gunfire and you went and made a

491
00:28:01,720 --> 00:28:04,000
phone call, correct?

492
00:28:04,000 --> 00:28:05,000
Correct.

493
00:28:05,000 --> 00:28:06,000
Right.

494
00:28:06,000 --> 00:28:07,000
Well, are you with the police?

495
00:28:07,000 --> 00:28:10,920
We're with the federal government, but we're not with the police.

496
00:28:10,920 --> 00:28:11,920
OK.

497
00:28:11,920 --> 00:28:16,160
Anyway, we'd like to talk to you about some things.

498
00:28:16,160 --> 00:28:20,960
This hasn't gone either of these either of these things has gone actually very poorly

499
00:28:20,960 --> 00:28:22,160
so far.

500
00:28:22,160 --> 00:28:27,720
I'm kind of surprised that we're still here, but that's mainly my fault.

501
00:28:27,720 --> 00:28:31,000
I have my head other places.

502
00:28:31,000 --> 00:28:35,200
But you're working on a project right now with a bunch of skeletons fused together,

503
00:28:35,200 --> 00:28:36,200
correct?

504
00:28:36,200 --> 00:28:37,200
Yes.

505
00:28:37,200 --> 00:28:39,040
We'd really like to talk to you.

506
00:28:39,040 --> 00:28:43,520
Before we talk about anything, you say you're with a government agency.

507
00:28:43,520 --> 00:28:45,080
Can I see some sort of ID?

508
00:28:45,080 --> 00:28:46,080
Of course not.

509
00:28:46,080 --> 00:28:47,480
You can't see any ID.

510
00:28:47,480 --> 00:28:49,960
That's the whole point of a secret agency.

511
00:28:49,960 --> 00:28:53,600
Have you ever seen a 90s action movie?

512
00:28:53,600 --> 00:28:57,000
Just imagine that.

513
00:28:57,000 --> 00:29:03,280
And then he rattles off a long list of all of the people that you work with, everything

514
00:29:03,280 --> 00:29:05,400
you've done at the work site, all this other stuff.

515
00:29:05,400 --> 00:29:06,400
He goes, look.

516
00:29:06,400 --> 00:29:11,280
Are our agent, Roos and agent Wells with you?

517
00:29:11,280 --> 00:29:12,440
Not officially.

518
00:29:12,440 --> 00:29:17,960
They provide us with information, but they're not a part of our organization, but they are

519
00:29:17,960 --> 00:29:18,960
friendly.

520
00:29:18,960 --> 00:29:19,960
Okay.

521
00:29:19,960 --> 00:29:26,040
Look, you can't pull that huge cube out of the earth and we got to get rid of it.

522
00:29:26,040 --> 00:29:27,040
It's dangerous.

523
00:29:27,040 --> 00:29:28,040
Okay.

524
00:29:28,040 --> 00:29:31,040
Well, what is it?

525
00:29:31,040 --> 00:29:32,460
Why is it dangerous?

526
00:29:32,460 --> 00:29:33,460
Can we go in?

527
00:29:33,460 --> 00:29:35,640
Everybody go inside and get off this porch.

528
00:29:35,640 --> 00:29:36,640
Is that okay?

529
00:29:36,640 --> 00:29:37,640
Yeah.

530
00:29:37,640 --> 00:29:38,640
All right.

531
00:29:38,640 --> 00:29:41,480
So I show them into the living room.

532
00:29:41,480 --> 00:29:42,480
I would offer you something.

533
00:29:42,480 --> 00:29:43,480
Oh, no, I'm good.

534
00:29:43,480 --> 00:29:44,960
It seems like you already helped yourself.

535
00:29:44,960 --> 00:29:45,960
I'm good.

536
00:29:45,960 --> 00:29:46,960
Desiree?

537
00:29:46,960 --> 00:29:54,160
Oh, you know, I would, Jesus, I hate to ask, do you have something to drink, something

538
00:29:54,160 --> 00:29:55,880
hard because damn.

539
00:29:55,880 --> 00:29:56,880
Yeah.

540
00:29:56,880 --> 00:30:02,360
And I go and I, you know, I probably have a liquor cabinet and get her something.

541
00:30:02,360 --> 00:30:03,360
It's not that bad.

542
00:30:03,360 --> 00:30:04,360
Oh, it's pretty bad.

543
00:30:04,360 --> 00:30:05,360
It's pretty bad.

544
00:30:05,360 --> 00:30:06,360
So look, things happen.

545
00:30:06,360 --> 00:30:07,360
No one's dead.

546
00:30:07,360 --> 00:30:08,360
Everyone's fine.

547
00:30:08,360 --> 00:30:15,360
Anyway, the cube that you're pulling out, it doesn't look natural, right?

548
00:30:15,360 --> 00:30:19,760
It's a bunch of few skeletons together.

549
00:30:19,760 --> 00:30:21,760
But as if they grew that way.

550
00:30:21,760 --> 00:30:24,800
Yeah, that's the thing I'm trying to wrap my head around.

551
00:30:24,800 --> 00:30:27,480
Don't, don't.

552
00:30:27,480 --> 00:30:30,660
I've seen some pretty weird shit with these guys.

553
00:30:30,660 --> 00:30:35,840
And unfortunately, whatever you're digging up right now can't be good news.

554
00:30:35,840 --> 00:30:37,640
Basically, yeah.

555
00:30:37,640 --> 00:30:44,560
See, Desiree might seem to be upset with me right now because of the loose way that I

556
00:30:44,560 --> 00:30:46,120
deal with things.

557
00:30:46,120 --> 00:30:51,440
But when you see the kind of things like you guys saw your husband and you saw that band

558
00:30:51,440 --> 00:30:56,800
and those kids turning into those creatures, when you're dealing with that on a regular

559
00:30:56,800 --> 00:31:02,360
basis, it kind of frees you and you have to get to the point where you detach a little

560
00:31:02,360 --> 00:31:03,360
bit.

561
00:31:03,360 --> 00:31:05,960
But what we're doing is important.

562
00:31:05,960 --> 00:31:10,240
If you pull that thing out of the ground and everybody sees it, first of all, we don't

563
00:31:10,240 --> 00:31:13,840
know what it's going to do if it does anything at all.

564
00:31:13,840 --> 00:31:17,160
Second of all, how do you explain something like that?

565
00:31:17,160 --> 00:31:23,960
You know, one weather balloon in Nevada and how many years did they talk about that?

566
00:31:23,960 --> 00:31:26,320
And that was just a weather balloon.

567
00:31:26,320 --> 00:31:27,720
So hold up.

568
00:31:27,720 --> 00:31:29,360
You guys don't know what it does either?

569
00:31:29,360 --> 00:31:30,360
No.

570
00:31:30,360 --> 00:31:31,360
What do you expect?

571
00:31:31,360 --> 00:31:37,760
We don't have like an encyclopedia with every single weird ass thing on the planet in it.

572
00:31:37,760 --> 00:31:43,120
We just know when it doesn't make sense to physics that it's probably something that

573
00:31:43,120 --> 00:31:44,360
we need to get rid of.

574
00:31:44,360 --> 00:31:47,500
A skeleton cube is not...

575
00:31:47,500 --> 00:31:48,500
Who makes that?

576
00:31:48,500 --> 00:31:58,320
I mean, who's on ITSE going, oh, 5,000 skeletons fused together?

577
00:31:58,320 --> 00:32:01,080
A human didn't make that, obviously.

578
00:32:01,080 --> 00:32:06,700
And so it's confirming that our reality is not what we think it is.

579
00:32:06,700 --> 00:32:10,920
And I know that most people would say, well, people can handle it, but they can't.

580
00:32:10,920 --> 00:32:11,920
OK.

581
00:32:11,920 --> 00:32:17,760
But, and maybe this is the scientist in me, we can't just destroy it without studying

582
00:32:17,760 --> 00:32:18,760
it.

583
00:32:18,760 --> 00:32:20,400
I'm OK with keeping it secret.

584
00:32:20,400 --> 00:32:23,160
It's a little too weird, right?

585
00:32:23,160 --> 00:32:24,640
I'm OK with that.

586
00:32:24,640 --> 00:32:30,040
But can't we take it to a warehouse somewhere and have people examine it?

587
00:32:30,040 --> 00:32:37,200
Because if we find out what it is and why it's there, maybe you have a little bit more

588
00:32:37,200 --> 00:32:39,320
to add to your encyclopedia.

589
00:32:39,320 --> 00:32:41,760
Oh, I like her.

590
00:32:41,760 --> 00:32:44,160
It's dangerous moving that big.

591
00:32:44,160 --> 00:32:48,800
I mean, we'd have to figure out how to get it out of there.

592
00:32:48,800 --> 00:32:54,440
The problem is, is your crew and your kids, your students are digging this thing up.

593
00:32:54,440 --> 00:32:57,720
I mean, think about the thoughts that you're having.

594
00:32:57,720 --> 00:33:00,520
Think about somebody in their 20s.

595
00:33:00,520 --> 00:33:03,640
They're having the exact same thoughts, if not worse.

596
00:33:03,640 --> 00:33:06,400
It infects people, this kind of stuff.

597
00:33:06,400 --> 00:33:10,680
It makes them lash out and do strange things.

598
00:33:10,680 --> 00:33:17,280
So if you have an idea on maybe we don't save all of it, maybe we don't save the whole cube,

599
00:33:17,280 --> 00:33:18,280
I don't know.

600
00:33:18,280 --> 00:33:20,520
Maybe we take a section.

601
00:33:20,520 --> 00:33:27,880
Look, maybe we dig out around it so it's ready to be lifted out.

602
00:33:27,880 --> 00:33:32,000
And then you have a crew come in at night and just take it.

603
00:33:32,000 --> 00:33:37,000
And then I walk onto the site the next morning and I'm just as shocked and surprised as everyone

604
00:33:37,000 --> 00:33:38,000
else.

605
00:33:38,000 --> 00:33:40,920
Well, that brings us to our next question.

606
00:33:40,920 --> 00:33:47,000
The fact that you were able to walk out of that club, I mean, your husband got sick and

607
00:33:47,000 --> 00:33:51,540
he's lucky you were there because if you hadn't been there, he would have been probably taken

608
00:33:51,540 --> 00:33:53,220
in like the rest of them.

609
00:33:53,220 --> 00:33:58,620
But it shows a certain mental fortitude that's needed for this kind of work.

610
00:33:58,620 --> 00:34:06,360
And we need doctors, educational doctors, people that are connected to academia all

611
00:34:06,360 --> 00:34:07,660
the time.

612
00:34:07,660 --> 00:34:14,400
We would like you to work with us and we will make sure that you're compensated well and

613
00:34:14,400 --> 00:34:19,280
you can help us figure out what this cube is after we get it out of the ground.

614
00:34:19,280 --> 00:34:20,280
OK.

615
00:34:20,280 --> 00:34:23,320
They're good for their word on that front.

616
00:34:23,320 --> 00:34:24,920
But I still have my job at the university.

617
00:34:24,920 --> 00:34:30,280
Yeah, it works better for us if you do because then that way you have access to other people

618
00:34:30,280 --> 00:34:35,840
and other information and it allows us to get information that we need.

619
00:34:35,840 --> 00:34:37,800
There's a lot of this stuff out there.

620
00:34:37,800 --> 00:34:42,500
And the reason I don't tell you about all of it is the less you know, the better.

621
00:34:42,500 --> 00:34:46,880
As you go along, you're going to get information, you're going to learn stuff and it does fuck

622
00:34:46,880 --> 00:34:47,880
with you.

623
00:34:47,880 --> 00:34:52,040
I'm probably pretty close to retirement myself.

624
00:34:52,040 --> 00:34:58,520
As Desray has pointed out many times, I'm just too loose right now.

625
00:34:58,520 --> 00:35:03,340
So I don't know how much longer I'm going to do it for, but it's important work.

626
00:35:03,340 --> 00:35:08,680
There's kids that got turned into beasts that happens on a regular basis with people and

627
00:35:08,680 --> 00:35:13,560
it's just covered up because imagine that on a global scale, that would be terrible.

628
00:35:13,560 --> 00:35:19,000
That's why the cube scares the shit out of us because it's huge and it's hard to hide.

629
00:35:19,000 --> 00:35:21,120
Whatever made it is wolf.

630
00:35:21,120 --> 00:35:23,640
Anyway, that's my sales pitch.

631
00:35:23,640 --> 00:35:25,240
Bites into his egg sandwich.

632
00:35:25,240 --> 00:35:28,200
Oh, and I'll get you some eggs.

633
00:35:28,200 --> 00:35:30,760
How much am I allowed to tell my husband?

634
00:35:30,760 --> 00:35:32,040
Not a word.

635
00:35:32,040 --> 00:35:33,480
Don't tell him anything.

636
00:35:33,480 --> 00:35:36,680
Make Desray or Confidant or whoever else is in your cell.

637
00:35:36,680 --> 00:35:38,200
Well, don't just throw me in.

638
00:35:38,200 --> 00:35:39,200
Oh, you're thrown in.

639
00:35:39,200 --> 00:35:40,680
You've got to help, right?

640
00:35:40,680 --> 00:35:44,200
I mean, you care and want everything to be right.

641
00:35:44,200 --> 00:35:45,680
You came through the front door.

642
00:35:45,680 --> 00:35:48,640
Yeah, because I have some manners.

643
00:35:48,640 --> 00:35:50,520
Oh dear God.

644
00:35:50,520 --> 00:35:58,080
Anyway, my worry is that the Graves end band and that whole cult thing might be connected

645
00:35:58,080 --> 00:35:59,520
to this somehow.

646
00:35:59,520 --> 00:36:05,040
I don't know, but we need to figure out what's going on.

647
00:36:05,040 --> 00:36:08,280
Let me do some research.

648
00:36:08,280 --> 00:36:11,560
I'm good at it.

649
00:36:11,560 --> 00:36:19,200
I know there's weird stuff that comes out of Massachusetts every once in a while.

650
00:36:19,200 --> 00:36:28,240
There's some old journals and things like that that might have something that's... I

651
00:36:28,240 --> 00:36:35,200
could request an interlibrary loan with Miskatonic University and see if I can dig anything up

652
00:36:35,200 --> 00:36:36,200
with them.

653
00:36:36,200 --> 00:36:37,200
That's fine.

654
00:36:37,200 --> 00:36:39,840
We'd appreciate it.

655
00:36:39,840 --> 00:36:46,240
We'll get in touch with you very soon.

656
00:36:46,240 --> 00:36:47,880
I appreciate your time.

657
00:36:47,880 --> 00:36:50,600
Let's head out, Desray.

658
00:36:50,600 --> 00:36:52,040
In the future, call her Mesa.

659
00:36:52,040 --> 00:36:53,540
She forgot her.

660
00:36:53,540 --> 00:36:55,920
She's new.

661
00:36:55,920 --> 00:36:56,920
She's still learning.

662
00:36:56,920 --> 00:36:58,960
Say her real name.

663
00:36:58,960 --> 00:36:59,960
Do I get a code name?

664
00:36:59,960 --> 00:37:00,960
Yeah, you do.

665
00:37:00,960 --> 00:37:03,520
We'll figure it out.

666
00:37:03,520 --> 00:37:05,680
You can think of one.

667
00:37:05,680 --> 00:37:09,360
We tried to give her one and she got upset with us because it was kind of a joke.

668
00:37:09,360 --> 00:37:11,160
It's rude.

669
00:37:11,160 --> 00:37:12,160
Everything's rude with you.

670
00:37:12,160 --> 00:37:13,520
All right, let's go.

671
00:37:13,520 --> 00:37:16,160
No, because everything you do is rude.

672
00:37:16,160 --> 00:37:18,120
I don't think it is.

673
00:37:18,120 --> 00:37:23,380
Yeah, well, it's usually about how it works with a person who's rude.

674
00:37:23,380 --> 00:37:27,520
She was polite enough to at least try and knock on the door even after you guys were

675
00:37:27,520 --> 00:37:28,520
in the house.

676
00:37:28,520 --> 00:37:35,960
All right, well, look, there's coffee and donuts somewhere waiting to be devoured at

677
00:37:35,960 --> 00:37:39,460
two in the morning after alcohol.

678
00:37:39,460 --> 00:37:40,460
We're going to leave now.

679
00:37:40,460 --> 00:37:42,080
Yeah, thanks for the drink.

680
00:37:42,080 --> 00:37:44,400
We're going to connect up later, okay?

681
00:37:44,400 --> 00:37:45,400
All right.

682
00:37:45,400 --> 00:37:48,080
All right, come on, Mesa.

683
00:37:48,080 --> 00:37:49,080
Let's go.

684
00:37:49,080 --> 00:37:52,440
So, this is actually a good place to stop.

685
00:37:52,440 --> 00:37:53,440
Thank you guys very much.

686
00:37:53,440 --> 00:37:56,560
I actually really like this game.

687
00:37:56,560 --> 00:37:58,280
It's a lot of fun to do this game.

688
00:37:58,280 --> 00:38:00,320
It is fun.

689
00:38:00,320 --> 00:38:05,800
So usually, I'd give a spiel about joining us on Patreon and all that stuff, but you

690
00:38:05,800 --> 00:38:08,680
guys already have done that, so we appreciate it.

691
00:38:08,680 --> 00:38:13,040
That's why we're doing the show as a thank you.

692
00:38:13,040 --> 00:38:14,920
Where are you guys at?

693
00:38:14,920 --> 00:38:17,220
What are you guys doing right now?

694
00:38:17,220 --> 00:38:19,680
Right now, I am on the socials.

695
00:38:19,680 --> 00:38:24,440
I'm on Twitter and Instagram, at Mishoolu, M-I-C-H-U-L-H-U.

696
00:38:24,440 --> 00:38:28,200
I'm also writing music for plate mail games.

697
00:38:28,200 --> 00:38:31,120
You can get it through DriveThruRPG or BattleBards.

698
00:38:31,120 --> 00:38:38,720
Oh, and on Saturday mornings, I am on a stream, Return to the Spider-Verse, and it is on Twitch

699
00:38:38,720 --> 00:38:42,640
at It's Probably Okay's channel.

700
00:38:42,640 --> 00:38:44,720
Hey, guys.

701
00:38:44,720 --> 00:38:50,440
When I'm not busy coming up with code names, I can be found online as at Strange Like That.

702
00:38:50,440 --> 00:38:53,080
That's the Facebook, the Instagram, and the Twitters.

703
00:38:53,080 --> 00:38:57,860
It's also my website, where you can find all of my cool apparel and tarot readings and

704
00:38:57,860 --> 00:39:00,200
all kinds of junk like that.

705
00:39:00,200 --> 00:39:06,360
And then I'm over at the Happy Jacks RPG Network every Monday, playing alternate games there.

706
00:39:06,360 --> 00:39:12,040
And you can also find me, probably, in your nightmares.

707
00:39:12,040 --> 00:39:13,240
And I am Wes Otis.

708
00:39:13,240 --> 00:39:16,160
Thank you guys so much for joining us, and we will talk to you soon.

709
00:39:16,160 --> 00:39:44,160
Bye.
