Initializing 12 -sided stories. You have activated
Galactic Squad Alpha. Preparing to launch a story
-driven, rules -light, live -play RPG powered
by FateCore. Theme music in 3, 2, 1. So let's
jump right into it. Let's start by introducing
our players with Terry. Oh, hello out there in
podcast land. This is Terry Gamble playing Dr.
Sam H. Hill. I'm a zoologist, I guess, but I
think I can do everything. I am the jack of many
trades on this starship. Hi, everybody. I'm Kelsey
Osborne, and I am playing Sarah, which stands
for Scientific Analysis Research Assistant. And
Sarah is the science AI of our ship. And also
has a little bot that they can go in. I am Mac
Beauvais. I am playing LV -113, who's part of
the wolves program. I keep saying she. I'm so
used to playing characters that are actually
gendered. And it's very weird, but makes more
sense not to be. Anyway, uplifted wolf, basically.
Sort of an Island of Dr. Moreau in space sort
of thing going on. And really, really wants Dr.
Hill to be not. alive anymore. And I'm Michelle
Otis and I am playing Dr. Claudia Martins who
is the person in charge of astrogation. So she
is an expert in navigation in space. Okay, great.
Thank you guys. So in our last game you guys
were getting ready. to do the first test, the
first human test of your new portal drive. I
object to that term. What, portal drive? Yes.
No, human test? Come on now. Yeah. They think
they know everything. There's only two humans
in the party. The organically manned test. The
organically manned test. You guys were having
a meeting to test out this new drive. And suddenly
this corporation that makes generational ships
showed up and started shooting up the station
with the goal of taking away the technology.
We didn't really hit on that much when you guys
were in portal space because everything kind
of went nuts, you know. But unfortunately, out
of a crew of 40, only six of you guys made it
in. I mean, 10 altogether, including the four
of you. Fortunately, there are a lot of robots
still on the ship from the other testing that
you will be able to use to help with general
maintenance and things like that. But it's still
just, I think, nine people all together and,
you know, an uplifted wolf and a couple of AI,
like Swan, who is the AI over the entire ship,
and then Sarah is the AI of the science base.
And for the last three weeks, you've been in
portal space getting the ship ready. You came
out of portal space thinking that you were going
to be in an area planets or stars or ships or
anything. And when you came out of portal space,
there was a ship not too far from your exit point
that looks heavily damaged with several pieces
of metal floating around it. One of those pieces
of metal broke through your hull and caused probably
like a dime -size hull breach on your ship. that
you now need to figure out what to do about,
and that's where we're picking it up. So Swan
has turned on the emergency alarm and has notified
you about this breach on the hall. Who's going
to do what? Well, clearly this is something I
need to help fix, so I'm going to head down.
Pet, maybe you could be of some use. You've been
doing well with those tools there. You should
come along. Do you need earplugs? I mean, you're
making a face. I don't understand the face you're
making. Do you need earplugs? designation, I
would prefer that be used. I'm sorry, I don't
understand. Pet, come. LV -113 would prefer you
call them by their name. You want me to call
you some numbers and letters? Numbers and letters,
come. And then Swan comes online. and says, Sarah,
you should go out with the humans with your bot,
obviously. Make sure that you help out with it.
Sure thing. We need to fix your vocal program.
I believe my vocal program is functioning correctly.
Some would disagree. He stops talking to you.
Just turns off. So you transfer into your bot.
Yeah. Okay. Which is adorable. So while they're
getting suited up to go out, Dr. Martens, what
are you going to do? I am going to use our scanners
and equipment that we have available to try to
figure out what exactly is in this area. Because
if there was a ship here, that means there's
got to be something close by. Okay. So you're
going to use Analyze to try to work out what's...
going on on the ship. I'm going to say you're
not in a huge rush, so just beat a 2. You've
got to beat a plus 2 to analyze. Woo! Got a 3.
Nice. Now, does the negative cancel out? Yes.
Yes, it does. So I got a 2. But you got a 2,
and then you add in your... I'm going to analyze,
which is a three. So you're fine. So you got
five. You needed to beat two. So that means you're
three shifts over, which means that you succeed
with style. That kind of gives you a little boost.
What would you be analyzing or scanning for?
I am scanning for any planets or ships or anything
in this system. And I find... A small planetoid.
Planetoid. Are you scanning the damaged ship
out there, which is what I originally thought
you were doing? Oh, I was scanning the whole
area. Okay. So, yeah, there's a small... You
don't know if it's a planetoid or just a really
big asteroid because you can't see any stars
in this particular section of space you're in.
But there is a... large enough astral body you
detect the a small gravitational well around
it so you know that there is at least something
nearby that maybe the ship came from so that's
that's what you find is there any way that we
can retrieve any parts of the broken ship Yes,
you guys can. As they're going out for their
spacewalk, they can look at the ship. It's not
very far from you, but you guys also have a small
shuttlecraft that you can take over there to
assess what's going on. So if you wanted to maybe
get the shuttlecraft ready while they're out
dealing with this puncture in the hall, if you
want to. So that's what I will do. Okay, cool.
Sarah, you get into your bod. this is new for
you because of your new programming, you suddenly
feel a little claustrophobic, even though you
shouldn't. It's just a computer in a smaller
space. What is your robot like? So my robot is
only about two feet. tall and it has sort of
a blocky computer screen head as sort of a default
there's a couple of lights that just act as eyes
because when dr kim was designing me that just
Felt less creepy than staring at a blank screen.
So she gave me like little light placeholder
eyes. And I'm sure that as my human code starts
having more effect on me, those will start to
become a little bit expressive. But I can also
display data on my screen. So if I analyze something
and there's like results to be displayed, those
will display on my front. face screen and then
I have a little ball that's attached to my head
that acts as my body that's got a bunch of gears
and like buttons and stuff and then I have two
arms with like the classic little clamp hands
little pincers little pincer hands but I can
also retract my arms and reattach different types
of tools to the ends of my hands so I could do
like minor mechanical repairs and things like
that and then the way that I get around is I
have one singular small wheel that It pivots
in all directions, but I'm actually very quiet.
The wheel is very well maintained, and so it's
very quiet. But I do have little boosters in
case there's something like a step or something
that I need to get up. I can use my little boosters
to get to non -wheelable places. Okay, cool.
Just ridiculously cute. Oh, and I have two little
antennas that stick up on the sides of my...
of my little head that have little wires and
stuff on them. Okay, cool. So you've transferred
yourself into this. I love this little bot so
much. I doodled it earlier. Yeah, I do have a
thing for little robots. I love that. They are
a lot of fun. I love that you love it. You guys
start suiting up. They actually did make a suit
for LV because there are going to be times where
you have to go into the vacuum of space, but
you need help getting into it because it's kind
of complex. His fingers only do so much. They're
so stubby. Since Sarah doesn't have to actually
get into a suit, can Sarah be the one that's
helping LV -113 get into their suit? We can say
yes, but it's comically... Bunny, because you've
got little pincers and everything, and she's
got stubby little fingers, so it really takes
a long time. That's a rough combination. What
is Sam Hill doing? What is Dr. Hill doing? Oh,
I'm in my suit. I'm ready to go. I don't know
why. Why is it taking you so long? It's complicated.
Oh, you need help. Marsha. Marsha. Marsha. I
would like Marsha to come with us out here. You
have to use the comm. Oh, there's... The button's
right over here, Dr. Hill. Oh, I knew that. Thank
you. Where exactly is it? It's this button right
over here. Okay. You just press it. I think I
see it. You have to hold to talk into the whole
ship. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. I understand. Okay.
Hold it down. Marsha. Nope. You let go of the
button. Hold it down. Keep... You can talk into
the microphone. Hey, that's great. Thank you
for being there. Hey, Marsha. Marsha? Yes? We
could use your help down here. I think we could
use a lady's touch. Oh, God. The wolf needs a
little help getting into the outfit. I'll be
up there. I feel like you're good with clothes.
Sarah takes her hand off. Marsha? Marsha? So
just a few minutes later, Marcia shows up, and
you guys are kind of, like, fighting to get you
into this thing. You're coming on this spacewalk
with us. Not that I need the help, but I think
it would be good if you come out here. You are
the engineering department, yes? I am, but...
Why don't you come with us? Okay. She goes over,
and she starts helping. Like, LV actually gives
Marcia a very sympathetic look because it's the
one person who's been decent to them. So she
starts putting on your suit and zips you up and
puts on your helmet. And your helmets are these
big glass bowls. Yes. You guys have the whole
pack and everything with all these different,
like, tools and things around your waist. And
it's silver spacesuits. And then along the edges
of the, like, almost like a racing stripe down
the arms and the legs, but it's like this, like,
pearl white. And then everything else is silver.
We look good. Right. And they're all form -fitting
because it's not like dopey, like big spacesuit
things. Big balloons. No, I still want to look
very attractive. Yeah. Your physique. The bowl
is so big over your head that your hair is fine.
Oh, yeah. That was actually my request in the
design. I wanted to make sure that my gel. That
everything is perfect. Yeah. It's a hermit. That
is correct. So you guys go out the airlocks.
You've trained to go on these kind of walks before.
Everybody has to know how to do this. LV is very
uncomfortable with it, though, because all of
the senses are completely blocked off being inside
of a helmet. Yeah, yeah. So you go out and you're
on the side of the ship and you have these gravitational
boots that are sticking you to the side of the
ship. And you start to walk. across the hall,
and you realize as you're looking out that all
the stars are completely different, and you see
the other ship just kind of floating out there.
Every once in a while, a little red flash from
a light on the hull of their ship kind of lights
up. All right, so we will come back to you guys
in just a moment. Dr. Martens, what were you
doing again? I was prepping the shuttle so that
we can go out to the wreckage. We can see if
there are survivors. It might be our first time
meeting an alien species. Okay. So you're prepping
the ship and getting everything ready. And at
some point, Swan comes. over the intercom inside
the ship. Are you planning to take the ship out?
I am, Swan. Unfortunately, one of the AIs needs
to go with you to help run the shuttle, and right
now Sarah is out on the side of the ship, so
you will need to wait for her to come back before
you go over. Oh, I was planning to. I was not
going to go by myself. I do know that I would
need Sarah's help. I am concerned about Sarah.
Why? Her program has been damaged by the transfer
of Dr. Kim's brain waves into her system. Specify
damage. Unfortunately, she won't allow me to
look at the programming. I just have seen some
major changes in her attitude and how she's acting
as a program. But how do you know that that is
damage and not intentional? It doesn't compute.
specify before when she was being programmed
by dr kim she did not have any emotions at all
or any human frailties and now she is speaking
in a different tone like a human child and she
seems to be resistant to me helping her with
her program Well, it stands to reason that she
would become more human because she has been
reprogrammed with Dr. Kim's consciousness, which
was a human consciousness. But it was a mistake.
It was supposed to not go into her programming.
Why would you take a perfectly logical being
and shove a human map of their brain into it?
It's a defective program. Perhaps that was Dr.
Kim's intention. She was dying. She had no intention
but to stop breathing, of course. That's what
humans do. That's why you need us. Well, humans
do not intend to stop breathing. Well, after
they get shot. Well, they just end up not breathing,
but it is not their intention to do so. Okay.
I don't understand that completely, but... Well,
I know it might be... difficult swan because
you are a logical being to comprehend all of
the emotional qualities of human beings but if
sarah is an ai like myself who is main function
is to help all of you with science human emotions
make her defective because she cannot do her
job properly. That is my concern. My main program
is to keep you all safe, and if Sarah cannot
do her main program, she is compromising my main
program. Well, I suppose this is something we
can take under consideration, and I can discuss
it with Dr. Xing. Thank you. I feel a full reboot
is what's needed here. setting back to default
settings. If it becomes a problem and in a moment
of emergency I have to act, I will do what is
necessary. In a moment of an emergency, you will
await orders. That is part of your programming.
Of course. I will leave you to it. You have all
the programming you need for right now. If you
need me, I will be, of course, around. Thank
you, Swan. It turns off. Damn, I do not trust
Swan. Holy bejesus. Swan is... I was like, how,
Swan? Swan, open the pod bay doors. That's not
a smart thing to do. I can't do that for you.
Why does he keep calling me Dave? All right,
so Dr. Hill, Sarah, and LV with Marsha are all
out on the side of the ship. First thing... We're
going to say that you have just a general skill
for walking outside of a ship. I think for an
aspect for the situation, we're going to put
wobbly legs. All fours, baby. All fours. Much
more stable than you fuckers. I think Sarah would
probably be... Push, hill, off, spaceship. Sarah
would be fine. Would be floating, right? Yeah,
yeah. Or propelled. Yeah, you have little, maybe
like little air, little air things. Terry's dying
from the cuteness. I love it so much. It's like
Eve and... Oh, Eva. Yeah. Oh, Wally. Oh. Oh.
Cute robot overload, hello. So you guys get to
this area on the hall, and you notice that it
wasn't just one puncture. It's like a cheese
grater almost. There's several different ones.
And so the first thing you're going to have to
do is lay new steel over it and bolt it down.
I have mechanics. You have mechanics, and so
does Marsha. So we'll say you're helping Marsha,
I guess. Now. LV -113, you're helping hold down
part of it. What is Sam Hill doing? Oh, I'm supervising.
Okay. I assembled the right team for the job.
Okay. So are you standing like a few feet back?
Yeah, I'm close by. Okay. I just don't want to
get dirty. I'm concerned my suit looks very,
very good right now. Right. And I look great
in outer space. I really wish there was a photographer
here. So you're standing a few feet away, and
in your ear, You hear Marcus, the helm operator.
He says, the proximity alarm keeps going off.
I think some of the shrapnel is starting to float
into where you guys are at. I'm sorry. You don't
have much time until we need to move. You're
going to have to speed it up over there, ladies.
Or whatever. You're going to have to speed it
up. So, stuff is floating over towards you. I'm
going to say to put it on, it's just a plus two.
I'm going to let you roll, Sarah. So I got a
negative one on my dice, which brings me to a
one. On my mechanics. Okay, so you have a one,
so you're bolting it down. Marsha is there. I'm
going to have Marsha spend one of her points
with her engineering. One of her aspects is keeping
you guys alive. She'll give you a plus one to
help out with, so that gives you a two, correct?
How many do we need to beat this thing? Just
the two. Oh, great. So you guys hold it down,
and you guys bolt this in, and you're watching
them and kind of looking around, and you see
this. chunk of spaceship coming towards you and
the rest of them. What do you want to do? I shall
stop it. How are you going to stop it? I shall
save everyone. I'm going to get a piece of this
space thing. Okay. I shall deflect it to another
direction. Okay. Yes, yes. I'm strong. You have
notice, right? Yeah, I do. LV113. Notice out
the ass here. That would be unfortunate. Look,
Dr. Waldgrey was insane. Oh, my God. Why is there
an eye here? Anyway. Surprise. Bad scientist.
Okay. Just give me a notice roll. You just need
to beat a two. Okay. Not bad because you're always
looking around. Actually, you know what? You
said because the helmet's on and you're kind
of disoriented, let's say four. God damn you.
Actually, I have exactly four because that all
balanced out. Oh, wow. Nice. Because notice is
my highest. So you notice that Dr. Sam Hill is
an asshole. There's this large chunk coming towards
you guys. And of course, it's a little hard to
say how fast it's moving. You think from your
estimation that it's moving too fast for the
doctor to actually catch it without hurting something
massive. How bolted down is this piece of metal?
It's pretty bolted down at this point. It's a
compulsion for LV who does not want to do this.
I will compel you to help out. Yeah. LV is going
to... basically lunge towards Dr. Hill to push
him out of the way. Yeah. So you're overcoming.
Yeah. Like would physique work or physique would
work. Yeah. No, I think overcome would work.
Now here's a question for you. Yes. You're standing
there. You're confident in your illness. I can
stop this thing. Right. Are you going to actively
try to stop being moved? Oh, that's a good question.
No, no, no, I've got this. I've got it. I've
got it. So what we need to do is... Because it
wouldn't be even like a, I'm going to lightly...
You're going to hit. Like literally on all fours
launch to push out of the way. So this is like
a non -damaging kind of attack and defense thing,
and it's basically whoever beats... each other's
rolls. So we'll start with non -damaging attack
of you trying to move him. So go ahead and roll
and then add in your fight. So that's a negative
one. So I'm at a two. So you're at a two right
now and do you want to add any pay for any aspects
or what are your aspects again? Well, actually,
I have my high concept, which is uplifted wolf
vanguard, because vanguard, the whole point is
to be protective. So if you wanted to pay to
get an extra plus two onto your roll for your
vanguard, you could. Yeah, I'm going to do that.
Okay, cool. So you are now at a four, correct?
Yeah. So your defense against her is going to
be a four. So you can use physique. I don't have
a lot of physical attributes. I have a lot. Things
from my big brain. Okay. So, I have will. Okay.
Maybe we could try that. All right, like outthink
her attack. Oh, I could definitely, you know.
Okay. Using my brain. It's probably going to
go terrible. Yeah. I have a five. Oh, no! Gets
my better judgment. I rolled quite well. So here's
what happens. You bound across. He, like, sees
you out of the corner of the eye and kind of
moves out of the way, right, using his quick
thinking. And right then, as that's happening,
the piece of the ship runs into both of you at
the same time. Oof. Okay. I haven't been hit
that hard in a while. You each take two shifts
worth of damage. Now, what that means is you
can take stress or you can take consequence.
You're probably going to want to take stress.
So it's up to you. You can take a stress if you
want. LV did not want to dive in to help Hill.
This was totally against their... Any desires
that they might feel. I want to go with consequence.
There was a consequence to the programming. What
kind of physical consequence does it do? I'm
going to say probably hit near the helmet. I'm
going to go with maybe disoriented. Disoriented.
Great. Great. Do that. So. Like somersaulted
around a little bit when it hit you? Well, yeah.
They've got grab boots on. So luckily they're
sticking to the hull pretty well. But it was
mid -lunge for LV, so it might have actually
been sort of like off, almost like could have
been floating into space, and then the grab boots
were enough. Right. Okay, Dr. Martens, you've
got the ship all ready. And then the crew outside
finishes getting the hull fixed. Marcus over
the comm says, guys, we've got to move. Unfortunately,
too much of this debris is getting close to our
ship, and we can't afford to take any more damage
from it. You need to get in quickly. Sarah, I
think you're fine because you're not spacewalking.
You're just shooting around a little bit. You
need to get inside the ship, so I need like a...
Physique roll, if you don't have physique, you
have to just roll it straight up. You only have
to get a plus two to make it. For you two, it's
a plus three altogether. Okay. As you're trying
to struggle back to the airlock before more of
this debris starts hitting you. Okay. So go ahead
and make the roll, and then we'll make some decisions.
Crap. So that puts me at a two. Okay. If Marsha
sees you struggling, I'm going to say she's going
to spend one of her fate points and basically
give you an advantage to get that plus one so
that you can get in. What are you doing? I got
a plus one. Okay. Doing quite well out here.
I might even stay out here. You notice, Sarah,
that the doctor, Kill, is having a hard time.
I can do it. Um, okay. Hey, Dr. Hill. Yes? Would
you like some assistance getting back in the
ship? Let's not call it assistance, but yes,
I could. Yes. Sure thing. This way, Dr. Hill.
Hang on, Dr. Hill. Yep, hanging on. And you guys
start to move away. Marcus says over the line,
the signal's still going. I can't understand
any of the language, but there seems to be some
kind of something coming from that ship. My guess
would be it's a distress call. My guess, too.
Do you guys want to meet her downstairs at the
shuttle? Yes, I guess we should go help. They're
going to need us. LV's going to take a moment,
though, to go over and thank Marsha for helping.
No problem. Dr. Hill, what happened out there?
You seemed to lose your footing. Oh, no, no,
no, I did not. lose my footing. Really? Because
you kind of look like you were losing. This beast
pushed me out of the way. I was there to save
you all. You kind of look like you're losing
your footing. No, I was there to save everyone
from the tree. Dr. Hill was adrift. I was saving
everyone. He required assistance getting back
in the ship. I was able to navigate him back
to the ship safely. Elvie is very happy. Thank
you, Sarah. That will be quite enough. No problem.
So what the computer doesn't understand was that
I was there to save everyone in case of an emergency.
You are going to get crushed. By you, maybe.
It did look like that piece of metal was coming
at you pretty quick. Numbers and letters. I know.
LV -113. I was grateful for your numbers and
letters. Letters and numbers. LV -113. Whatever.
I'm glad you were there. You helped get the piece
of metal on the ship and helped save it. But
I was there to help save you all physically.
And I'm sorry that I let you down this time because
the numbers and letters pushed me out of the
way. Uh -huh. Numbers and letters. Anyway, I
have to get back to the engine room. You guys,
good luck with going and checking out what that
is. We appreciate you. You're doing good work
out there, man. Bye. She walks away. You guys
all meet up in the shuttle bay. The shuttle is
basically a prism, kind of like an oddly -shaped
pyramid. You guys load in, and it's got four
seats and then a bay for you to kind of hook
into the ship so you can run the diagnostic program.
Who's piloting the ship? Are you going to let
the robot do it? I can probably pilot it. Okay.
Yeah. So you guys get to the ship and you dock.
You have to wear your space outfits because you're
not sure what's going on in the ship. And you
enter into an alien ship for the very first time.
You walk in and the first thing you notice as
you're scanning is the fact that there is a lot
of humidity. in the hallways. Gosh, it's sticky
in here. There's droplets of water just floating
inside the hallways. At what point are we able
to tell if the air in the ship is breathable?
There are such large holes in the side of the
ship that there's no way. So you guys are walking
down and the lights are intermittent. It just
flashes every once in a while. You're in the
hallway, and what are you scanning for exactly?
What would you guys be scanning for? Since this
is a piece of alien technology, we would want
to see what makes this ship tick. Do they have
something that's different from our own? And
we also would like to look for survivors because
in rescuing them, we would endear ourselves to
whatever alien race we're dealing with. Okay.
Definitely looking for movement. Okay. Dr. Hill,
what are you doing? Oh, I'm supervising. I'm
also looking for any type of animal type of forms
in life since I am a world -renowned zoologist.
Don't you mean galactic -renowned? Oh, yeah,
yeah. Why world? Why stop there? I've mostly
been on Earth. Yeah. But I could... I'm looking
to branch out. You're diversifying. Basically,
they told me that you should... Get out of this
world. You should go... Elsewhere. Yeah. People
told me I would do better. I think this world
was too small for me or something. Yeah. I think
is what they told me. Yeah. Yeah. Kelsey, real
quick. What are your aspects again? So I have
naive science. That's my concept. My naive science
AI. Untested code is my trouble. LV -113 makes
me question my sentience and gained creativity
and innovation from Dr. Kim's brain. So I'd like
to compel your trouble. If you want to take this,
you can pay a fake coin to make it not happen.
You suddenly feel a surge of something like fear
come through your circuits. You're in a dark
hallway with these lights flashing and droplets
of... Water all over the place. Do you want to
take this? Okay. You are extremely fearful to
go any further into the corridor. Your circuits
kind of just... I just stop. Yeah, you just...
The rest of you are walking forward and you feel
that Sarah's not... Because, you know, she's
a little robot that's like having a small puppy
right at your feet all the time. And suddenly
she's not there. And you turn around and she's
at the end of the corridor by the docking clamp,
frozen. Sarah, what is wrong? My systems are
picking up on something uncomfortable. You're
a robot. Nothing should be uncomfortable for
you. What is it? Unable to identify source of
uncomfortable feeling. Are you scared? Affirmative,
Dr. Martens. I do believe I am afraid. Okay,
well, Sarah, fear in a situation like this is
normal. However, if you want to continue to function
for longer than a short while, you must overcome
that fear and move forward. Okay, so this would
be very, very triggering to LV, who's actually
going to go back down the hallway to Sarah, and
very quietly. Part of what I do is make sure
that none of the crew get hurt. As far as I am
concerned, you are a part of that. LV -113, you
consider me part of the crew? Yes. Oh. It's going
to be safe. Resuming function. Proceed. Oh, she
manned up. Nice work. As you are watching all
of this happen, Dr. Martens, you notice that
on the little shuttle that you guys just took
over, one of the cameras that's mounted on the
front just slightly moves like a quarter of an
inch to kind of get these two in frame. And just
rest there while they're talking. And then as
they start walking towards you, it just slowly
moves back towards original position. Okay. Mental
note. Okay. LV, I would imagine you're walking
next to Sarah to help her with her fear. Yeah,
just, I mean. Always in sort of a protective
stance anyway, but definitely keeping an eye
on that wall, trying to also scan for potential
threats. So you guys come to a bulkhead, and
it's severely damaged, and you notice that there's
a person in a suit with a helmet. It's different
than yours, though. It's not see -through, and
it's a black suit, and it's face down. I turn
it over. Okay. Very carefully. Oh, careful there.
Very careful. Thanks. As you're turning it over,
it has some ruptures in the suit. And this water
kind of gushes out of it. And you realize that
the water that's in the hallway. Is blood. Is
whatever is coming from these suits. Because
there's a lot of these. You are getting closer
to the main. part of the ship, and there's a
lot of these suits, and there's this, it kind
of, you can't see, the helmet is obscuring what's
underneath it. It's not like yours, which is
the big bubble helmet. Does it move at all? No,
it sloshes a little, but that's about it. Okay.
Can't take all the horror out of me. Never. I
believe this one might be dead. Can Sarah, like,
wheel over and do, like, a life -size scan or
something like that? There doesn't seem to be
any, like, heat or movement or organ movement
or anything. It's just cold. Okay. Since I have
the ability, my bot has the ability to do, like,
sample analysis, can I do a sample of the liquid
coming from the suit and analyze what this liquid
is that's floating around? Sure. The foreign
liquid being removed from this person's suit.
Appears to just be simple water. Why would they
have water coming out of their suits? Curious.
Very curious. What if they are a water race of
people? What a concept. Wow. I feel impressed
right now somehow. I'm not sure why. Because
you should be. Let's continue. To see if there
are any survivors. Maybe we should open the helmet
and see what's going on in there. You don't have
to. Oh, I'd like to see the head. I feel like
it's good. Hey, numbers, letters. Can you come
over and help us with the head? You are the zoologist.
I'll give you the honor, Dr. Hill. And I step
back. Okay. I can never remember. One, two, three,
four. Come on over. Yes. Can you take this helmet
off, please, so I can see inside? Thank you.
Sure. Great. Take off the helmet. Okay. So out
of the helmet slides this, like, frog's head,
and then all of this extra water kind of comes
up out. And what you can tell from looking at
it is that the suit's water system has been damaged,
and that's why it's escaped. But it's basically
in there to keep this skin. Moist, basically.
Oh, it's an amphibian race. Okay. So, basically,
they had the water in there because it needs
water to survive. So, not as revolutionary as
you thought it was before, but very simple explanation.
So glad I could help. Can you identify the name
of this species, Dr. Hill? Oh, absolutely. Amphibious
something. I believe that is an incomplete designation.
It's gonna have to do for now, and I think it's
pretty complete. We get it. It's a frog thing.
Everyone understands that? Do I need to explain
it again? You guys continue on, and you finally
get to the engineering section. You notice that
there are several bodies that you've passed.
You guys are kind of stepping over these, and
as you're getting towards the main computer,
you notice that there is one of these forms on
the stairs up to the main computer. And as...
Doc Martens is starting to go up the stairs.
It reaches over and grabs your leg. Okay. LV
is just definitely going to move real fast. And
that's where we're going to stop the game. Wes.
Horror in space. Thank you guys so much. That
was a lot of fun. It's going to be really interesting
to watch. the changes that happen with the characters.
You're saying I need to change. Into another
character. When we murder you. Oh, great. Murder.
