00:00:04.759 --> 00:00:08.000
Welcome to Roll 4 Heresy, with Walton playing

00:00:08.000 --> 00:00:10.820
Chet, Cliff playing Francisco, Tim playing Squigs,

00:00:11.160 --> 00:00:15.039
and Kevin as RGM. Last time, our three heroes,

00:00:15.300 --> 00:00:17.940
Chet, veteran soldier in the Catacan Jungle Fighters

00:00:17.940 --> 00:00:21.199
Penal Division, Francisco, enthusiastic new volunteer

00:00:21.199 --> 00:00:24.300
in Strahl's Imperial Guard, and Squigs, a scribe

00:00:24.300 --> 00:00:26.500
and bureaucrat originally assigned to Strahl's

00:00:26.500 --> 00:00:28.760
military to keep track of supplies, were brought

00:00:28.760 --> 00:00:30.920
together on a mission to scout the wilds of the

00:00:30.920 --> 00:00:35.969
jungle for a new landing zone. We find ourselves

00:00:35.969 --> 00:00:41.009
back where we left at the base being just dismissed

00:00:41.009 --> 00:00:45.450
by Sergeant Busan giving you the instructions

00:00:45.450 --> 00:00:48.810
to gather up whatever belongings you wish to

00:00:48.810 --> 00:00:53.990
take and meet The travel team at the edge of

00:00:53.990 --> 00:00:57.990
the base That's where you begin. Oh, yeah I'll

00:00:57.990 --> 00:01:01.030
say to Chet like okay, so obviously I I mean

00:01:01.030 --> 00:01:03.670
you got to stay in shackles for a little bit

00:01:04.809 --> 00:01:07.489
Do you need a hand like packing up your gear

00:01:07.489 --> 00:01:11.750
and everything then? Well, here's the thing,

00:01:12.250 --> 00:01:14.569
Francisco. I only keep a couple things with me.

00:01:14.709 --> 00:01:17.950
They have my rifle. That's Betty. You'll meet

00:01:17.950 --> 00:01:20.290
her as soon as they give her to me. And then

00:01:20.290 --> 00:01:22.650
I keep a knife. Well, I don't keep a knife. They

00:01:22.650 --> 00:01:27.390
give me a knife. Usually when they let me loose,

00:01:27.530 --> 00:01:29.010
that's when they give me all the stuff back.

00:01:30.530 --> 00:01:33.540
OK, so. I should hang on to the stuff until it's

00:01:33.540 --> 00:01:38.640
time to let you loose? Well, I'm not a, you know,

00:01:39.079 --> 00:01:42.219
one of those logistical type of people, but usually

00:01:42.219 --> 00:01:46.700
they uncuff me first and then they say, all right,

00:01:46.859 --> 00:01:48.260
now, Chet, we're going to give you your stuff

00:01:48.260 --> 00:01:50.420
back. Don't shoot nobody. And then I say, OK,

00:01:50.480 --> 00:01:52.459
well, I'll think about it. And then they give

00:01:52.459 --> 00:01:55.239
me my stuff and then they kind of there's a vague

00:01:55.239 --> 00:01:58.859
window of will I shoot someone before I leave

00:01:58.859 --> 00:02:01.040
the game? And then I eventually just kind of

00:02:01.040 --> 00:02:03.359
walk out and do whatever I've been told to do.

00:02:04.019 --> 00:02:05.780
Oh, that makes sense then. Alright, perfect.

00:02:06.239 --> 00:02:09.180
Uh, uh, great. I'll follow you to that, then.

00:02:09.620 --> 00:02:13.439
Alright, now, so, uh... Who, uh... Who's got

00:02:13.439 --> 00:02:16.520
my stuff? You know who's got my gear? I do not.

00:02:17.500 --> 00:02:20.159
My stuff is all in my bunk. I'm allowed to keep

00:02:20.159 --> 00:02:24.699
it, so... I'll go get that, and then we'll meet

00:02:24.699 --> 00:02:28.580
up with... the quartermaster, I suppose. Yes,

00:02:28.580 --> 00:02:32.099
you would know that your gear is requisitioned

00:02:32.099 --> 00:02:35.500
behind a locked gate by the quartermaster. Alright,

00:02:35.900 --> 00:02:38.539
and then Squigs, you'll just get your gear with

00:02:38.539 --> 00:02:40.639
us as well, right? You don't have anything special?

00:02:41.659 --> 00:02:44.879
I've brought everything I need. I have my auto

00:02:44.879 --> 00:02:49.879
quill. We'll be able to record our progress.

00:02:50.080 --> 00:02:52.960
Wonderful. Alright, then let's head over to the

00:02:52.960 --> 00:02:57.580
quartermaster. Alright. You all three of you

00:02:57.580 --> 00:03:02.180
Wander out of the sergeant's office towards the

00:03:02.180 --> 00:03:08.539
quartermaster Chet's chains clanging You know

00:03:08.539 --> 00:03:11.919
Francisco and squigs noticing the hustle and

00:03:11.919 --> 00:03:15.939
bustle of the ever -increasing Supply of people

00:03:15.939 --> 00:03:18.319
in this military base is every day. It seems

00:03:18.319 --> 00:03:21.520
like it's getting more full so you get to the

00:03:21.520 --> 00:03:28.150
quartermaster and he says All right, what do

00:03:28.150 --> 00:03:32.229
you want? Sergeant Busan is sending us out into

00:03:32.229 --> 00:03:36.509
the jungle, out east. We're to be requisitioned

00:03:36.509 --> 00:03:40.710
with munitions and armaments and the usual travel

00:03:40.710 --> 00:03:42.789
stuff for... I actually don't know how many days

00:03:42.789 --> 00:03:47.250
we're supposed to be out there. Oh yeah. You're

00:03:47.250 --> 00:03:50.189
the three new lucky ones. All right. And he slides

00:03:50.189 --> 00:03:52.849
three packs over. In there you're gonna find

00:03:52.849 --> 00:03:57.710
your... standard lasgun a few days of provisions

00:03:57.710 --> 00:04:02.150
and a few other miscellaneous things that you'll

00:04:02.150 --> 00:04:06.129
need so All right, you three should be all set

00:04:06.129 --> 00:04:12.889
when you grab those Thank you very much I Was

00:04:12.889 --> 00:04:16.689
told that you're supposed to meet the travel

00:04:16.689 --> 00:04:20.329
team at the edge of the base Go there and hand

00:04:20.329 --> 00:04:21.970
them this, and they should take you to base,

00:04:21.970 --> 00:04:26.449
and he slides over a data slate. I will reach

00:04:26.449 --> 00:04:30.310
out and take the data slate before Francisco

00:04:30.310 --> 00:04:36.129
has a chance to grab it. Snake. I feel slightly

00:04:36.129 --> 00:04:37.850
relieved that I'm not doing that. Excellent.

00:04:38.930 --> 00:04:44.410
Alright. Alright. Have fun! And I'm just gonna

00:04:44.410 --> 00:04:47.449
start leafing through it, following like... Just

00:04:47.449 --> 00:04:49.910
like walking behind Francisco wherever we go

00:04:49.910 --> 00:04:51.370
whatever we're doing until I'm done reading the

00:04:51.370 --> 00:04:55.529
data slate. Just yeah, it gives you a basic overview

00:04:55.529 --> 00:05:00.209
of Where where to go where the where the edge

00:05:00.209 --> 00:05:04.610
the jungle edge base is It kind of gives you

00:05:04.610 --> 00:05:07.649
an idea of what's already been scouted and where

00:05:07.649 --> 00:05:11.910
not to go and Kind of like just like a brief

00:05:11.910 --> 00:05:14.730
summary of everything that's happened so far

00:05:17.029 --> 00:05:22.050
Mm -hmm. All right, well, I'm not carrying your

00:05:22.050 --> 00:05:25.490
pack for you, Chet, so, uh, I guess this is the

00:05:25.490 --> 00:05:27.990
part where I uncuff you and then just say, don't

00:05:27.990 --> 00:05:33.029
shoot anybody, please, Chet. Oh, yeah, sure,

00:05:33.029 --> 00:05:34.569
you can go ahead and let me go right now, that's

00:05:34.569 --> 00:05:38.329
fine. All right. All right, so, uh, I'll uncuff

00:05:38.329 --> 00:05:42.160
your, uh, your arms and legs and... Actually,

00:05:42.180 --> 00:05:43.860
you know what? I'll uncuff your arms and then

00:05:43.860 --> 00:05:46.800
just leave the legs for now. Because you definitely

00:05:46.800 --> 00:05:48.540
don't need your legs to carry your backpack.

00:05:48.800 --> 00:05:50.620
So I'm like, all right. You're one of them smart

00:05:50.620 --> 00:05:55.360
ones. Okay. All right. Lesson learned. I took

00:05:55.360 --> 00:05:58.120
you for a root for a little bit, but I'm re -evaluating

00:05:58.120 --> 00:06:01.160
our situation now. That's smart of you. Oh, I

00:06:01.160 --> 00:06:09.060
appreciate that Chet. But yeah, once we all have

00:06:09.060 --> 00:06:11.180
our packs, I'll just start heading over to the

00:06:11.180 --> 00:06:14.500
edge of base. Do you three wish to do anything

00:06:14.500 --> 00:06:17.120
else in town, or are you headed towards the transport?

00:06:19.819 --> 00:06:22.420
I don't feel like there's anything else Squigs

00:06:22.420 --> 00:06:30.379
would need to do. Unless... As I look this over,

00:06:30.500 --> 00:06:32.040
does it seem like there's actual orders called

00:06:32.040 --> 00:06:33.959
out, or did they just give us some random...

00:06:34.730 --> 00:06:37.009
Alright, we'll give them some food, baby. Oh,

00:06:37.009 --> 00:06:39.110
here's this random gun in the back that way.

00:06:39.110 --> 00:06:43.750
I don't have to count for it Yeah, you feel it's

00:06:43.750 --> 00:06:46.069
the bare minimum that they gave you so if there's

00:06:46.069 --> 00:06:48.370
something you specifically want Like they're

00:06:48.370 --> 00:06:50.230
not they're not trying to send you out to like

00:06:50.230 --> 00:06:51.709
it's clear They're not trying to send you out

00:06:51.709 --> 00:06:53.850
to die like they didn't give you like a stick

00:06:53.850 --> 00:06:56.290
and like half a sandwich That's already rotten,

00:06:56.290 --> 00:07:00.149
but they didn't give you two weeks of food. You

00:07:00.149 --> 00:07:03.550
know It's only a week's worth of rations. Okay,

00:07:03.550 --> 00:07:08.420
you get standard issue you know amount of ammo

00:07:08.420 --> 00:07:12.019
and the gun so if you know the combat knife and

00:07:12.019 --> 00:07:14.360
if you have like a sword or some other weapon

00:07:14.360 --> 00:07:18.740
that you know maybe you think you have you know

00:07:18.740 --> 00:07:20.759
nothing crazy like no one's coming with a chainsword

00:07:20.759 --> 00:07:25.339
but something else just let me know for god what

00:07:25.339 --> 00:07:28.920
pattern heavy bolters I'm giving you everything

00:07:28.920 --> 00:07:31.259
that's on your character sheet oh good that you

00:07:31.259 --> 00:07:34.430
want so that's that's what's in the pack Convenient.

00:07:34.790 --> 00:07:37.009
Reasonably, you're gonna open it up and be like,

00:07:37.269 --> 00:07:39.350
it probably makes sense that I have flint and

00:07:39.350 --> 00:07:41.529
tinder. I'm like, yes you do. Or like a portable

00:07:41.529 --> 00:07:43.689
tent or something to sleep in. Like that's everything

00:07:43.689 --> 00:07:46.089
that, kind of like, here's your adventuring pack.

00:07:46.550 --> 00:07:51.689
12 Godwin pattern heavy bolters. 17 ,000 gallons

00:07:51.689 --> 00:07:55.610
of flamer fuel. It's just... No flamer though.

00:07:56.629 --> 00:07:58.970
No, no flamer. No flamer, you have to use flint

00:07:58.970 --> 00:08:02.350
and tinder on it. Just pop the top and fucking

00:08:02.350 --> 00:08:07.509
hope for the best. That tracks. Does the data

00:08:07.509 --> 00:08:10.529
file say if we're like traveling with people,

00:08:10.790 --> 00:08:14.290
or are we gonna have a car, or what does it say

00:08:14.290 --> 00:08:17.910
about how we get to the place? Once I've finished

00:08:17.910 --> 00:08:20.430
reading it, I will hand it over to Francisco,

00:08:20.790 --> 00:08:25.029
having memorized what's on there. Yes, so you

00:08:25.029 --> 00:08:32.690
would know that the Strahl system is newer, and

00:08:32.669 --> 00:08:37.190
As the Imperium and the Mechanicus are beginning

00:08:37.190 --> 00:08:39.789
to aid your efforts in mapping out the world,

00:08:40.269 --> 00:08:42.429
they haven't given you like a thousand ships

00:08:42.429 --> 00:08:47.049
and a thousand different things. So, you know,

00:08:47.250 --> 00:08:50.870
they're doing general scans and they know generally

00:08:50.870 --> 00:08:53.830
where they want you guys to go, but they're not

00:08:53.830 --> 00:08:56.610
doing like flyovers, like specifically find stuff.

00:08:56.629 --> 00:08:58.769
So they're gonna drive you to a base that they

00:08:58.769 --> 00:09:02.059
established at the edge. And it's gonna be your

00:09:02.059 --> 00:09:07.460
job to go venture forth where they think something

00:09:07.460 --> 00:09:12.379
of value might be. And you have, like, just in

00:09:12.379 --> 00:09:16.519
person, like, they're not willing to sacrifice

00:09:16.519 --> 00:09:19.740
the fuel and the resources to send planes and

00:09:19.740 --> 00:09:23.980
robots and stuff like that. People are cheaper

00:09:23.980 --> 00:09:33.399
than that. Yeah, so it's basically you three

00:09:33.399 --> 00:09:37.139
are just one team and you you know that based

00:09:37.139 --> 00:09:39.500
on the you know based on Chet and based on the

00:09:39.500 --> 00:09:42.639
other catacom jungle fighters that they regularly

00:09:42.639 --> 00:09:47.919
send out Teams to go scout and to go look at

00:09:47.919 --> 00:09:50.820
stuff Chet actually had just come back from exploring

00:09:50.820 --> 00:09:54.679
the West You know quote -unquote his backstory

00:09:55.889 --> 00:09:58.370
And all the troubles and tribulations that he

00:09:58.370 --> 00:10:00.649
can you know if you wish to add something Interesting

00:10:00.649 --> 00:10:02.129
that happened to you while you were out there

00:10:02.129 --> 00:10:04.210
or some bit of wisdom that you can add to the

00:10:04.210 --> 00:10:10.129
team We can incorporate that the real real low

00:10:10.129 --> 00:10:15.590
-tech Just like go out and figure it out peasant

00:10:15.590 --> 00:10:19.370
machetes and compasses and all that Yeah, yeah,

00:10:19.370 --> 00:10:22.440
all right fair enough. Yeah All right, then yeah,

00:10:22.519 --> 00:10:24.799
I guess if they gave us enough stuff for this

00:10:24.799 --> 00:10:27.200
or whatever's on my character sheet, we'll go

00:10:27.200 --> 00:10:31.799
to it and Give it a shot. All right, any more

00:10:31.799 --> 00:10:36.399
any more questions or nope. Nope I've they're

00:10:36.399 --> 00:10:38.059
checking to make sure everything else was good

00:10:38.059 --> 00:10:47.899
Just begin kind of like walking behind and Looks

00:10:47.899 --> 00:10:49.860
looking up periodically and mapping once we're

00:10:49.860 --> 00:10:52.379
ready to get out unless we have to deal with

00:10:52.379 --> 00:10:58.840
any bureaucrats I'm gonna let Francisco We let

00:10:58.840 --> 00:11:01.039
Francisco talk us through this so way I don't

00:11:01.039 --> 00:11:04.399
have to check all those their papers It doesn't

00:11:04.399 --> 00:11:07.399
seem anyone is standing in your way. You all

00:11:07.399 --> 00:11:11.580
look like you belong you all understand how the

00:11:11.580 --> 00:11:16.399
face works, so you'd know just to walk to the

00:11:16.399 --> 00:11:20.179
exit where they station all the vehicles. Alright,

00:11:20.240 --> 00:11:24.559
you make your way towards the vehicle depot and

00:11:24.559 --> 00:11:29.179
there you see Tenor talking to somebody and Tenor's

00:11:29.179 --> 00:11:35.240
got a pair of keys in his hand. Hey Tenor, you

00:11:35.240 --> 00:11:38.820
know what time it is? It's time for them to undo

00:11:38.820 --> 00:11:44.200
all these shackles and let me get to work. You

00:11:44.200 --> 00:11:48.860
can see him turn and he says, oh, hey, guys.

00:11:50.120 --> 00:11:53.659
Are you the ones I'm driving to the base on the

00:11:53.659 --> 00:11:56.279
edge of the jungle? Oh, Tanner, when they let

00:11:56.279 --> 00:11:58.940
you drive? Hold on. First of all, did you eat

00:11:58.940 --> 00:12:05.600
my cookies? You said I could. Of course I did.

00:12:06.039 --> 00:12:09.240
I don't even know why I asked. You know what?

00:12:09.659 --> 00:12:14.299
OK. They were very delicious. Although I don't

00:12:14.299 --> 00:12:19.279
know why you had so many oatmeal raisins. I have

00:12:19.279 --> 00:12:23.340
a sophisticated palate and oatmeal raisin cookies

00:12:23.340 --> 00:12:28.000
are the best cookie for a man in my situation.

00:12:29.600 --> 00:12:35.320
Okay, Chet. Agree to disagree. Man's cookies

00:12:35.320 --> 00:12:39.159
and salt is cookie choice. Tanner, I hope I don't

00:12:39.159 --> 00:12:41.779
see you for a good long while after this. I know

00:12:41.779 --> 00:12:44.220
that's rude. I'm just gonna say that and put

00:12:44.220 --> 00:12:47.840
that out there. You take it as you want. Okay

00:12:47.840 --> 00:12:56.320
Chet, I love you too, buddy. Do you guys know

00:12:56.320 --> 00:13:02.240
where anything you want? Tenor's brain is melting.

00:13:02.759 --> 00:13:06.299
My brain is melting. Are you guys ready to leave?

00:13:07.799 --> 00:13:10.659
Yeah, I think so. Just once we get out to the

00:13:10.659 --> 00:13:13.320
base, you know, we'll just start mapping. I mean,

00:13:13.419 --> 00:13:16.399
we're... No direction is wrong, right? As long

00:13:16.399 --> 00:13:19.679
as it's east, I suppose. Well, the wrong direction

00:13:19.679 --> 00:13:22.000
is the one that gets you eight. Fair enough.

00:13:22.220 --> 00:13:24.179
Fair enough. We will look out for getting eight,

00:13:24.179 --> 00:13:30.720
I guess. Is there any existing maps that you

00:13:30.720 --> 00:13:33.059
have that go adjacent to the region we're mapping?

00:13:34.559 --> 00:13:38.809
Does that look a tenor? Uh... Do you have a data

00:13:38.809 --> 00:13:42.730
slate? Everything should be on there. Were there

00:13:42.730 --> 00:13:46.429
any existing maps in the data slate? Yeah, basically

00:13:46.429 --> 00:13:50.509
the maps go to the edge of the jungle and then

00:13:50.509 --> 00:13:53.110
it just like stops and it's kind of like they

00:13:53.110 --> 00:13:55.990
have like a bunch of X's being like explore here

00:13:55.990 --> 00:13:57.850
next and it's looking to be like up to you guys

00:13:57.850 --> 00:14:01.370
to figure out. So here there would be bullshit?

00:14:02.309 --> 00:14:04.370
Here there would be bullshit right and then you

00:14:04.370 --> 00:14:07.350
know a peek behind the curtain like pick anywhere

00:14:07.350 --> 00:14:10.169
i don't have 45 adventures for you to go on so

00:14:10.169 --> 00:14:21.529
i call bullshit how dare you all right hop in

00:14:21.529 --> 00:14:25.409
then and we'll get going i know chet gets ornery

00:14:25.409 --> 00:14:31.789
if you stand too long well i'm a i'm a busy person

00:14:31.789 --> 00:14:34.429
and i got things to do so i don't like wasting

00:14:34.429 --> 00:14:39.879
time Oh Chet, sometimes you just gotta smell

00:14:39.879 --> 00:14:43.799
the roses. And then he, you see him, you know,

00:14:43.919 --> 00:14:47.960
click the button. You can hear the vehicle unlock.

00:14:48.519 --> 00:14:51.179
Alright, I guess we won't waste any more time.

00:14:51.559 --> 00:14:54.620
And he gets in the driver's seat. I offer a handout

00:14:54.620 --> 00:14:59.139
to Chet to help him up. That's much appreciated.

00:14:59.399 --> 00:15:02.500
I can make my way in this vehicle and he kinda

00:15:02.500 --> 00:15:09.730
hops up in there like a kid. Okay, just kind

00:15:09.730 --> 00:15:13.110
of scrambles and clinks and clanks Don't don't

00:15:13.110 --> 00:15:17.970
look at me. All right. I Also actually get in

00:15:17.970 --> 00:15:19.929
the back seat so that none of us have to sit

00:15:19.929 --> 00:15:24.330
shotgun next I was gonna ask who sits in the

00:15:24.330 --> 00:15:27.470
front seat, but nobody does I'll sit in the front

00:15:27.470 --> 00:15:29.210
seat. I haven't had any time to deal with tenor

00:15:29.210 --> 00:15:31.970
I don't know anything about tenor. I have a feeling

00:15:31.970 --> 00:15:37.919
I'm going to You guys in the back. I'll get in

00:15:37.919 --> 00:15:42.240
the front seat and Sit down start moving things

00:15:42.240 --> 00:15:46.600
around and immediately Take my las pistol out

00:15:46.600 --> 00:15:48.600
check the charge check the safety and then put

00:15:48.600 --> 00:16:01.220
it away In a very unscholar like Manner Tenor

00:16:01.220 --> 00:16:04.299
looks over Looks in the back give everyone gives

00:16:04.299 --> 00:16:07.480
everyone a nod and he starts the vehicle and

00:16:07.480 --> 00:16:10.799
begins to drive away He looks back and says all

00:16:10.799 --> 00:16:19.519
right buckle up. It's gonna be a few hours You

00:16:19.519 --> 00:16:31.259
know what the Sarge says You can't shoot me in

00:16:31.259 --> 00:16:37.019
the head because you'd miss. You know what? You

00:16:37.019 --> 00:16:39.759
keep on pushing me, Tanner. You just keep on

00:16:39.759 --> 00:16:46.100
pushing. Oh, you know. You know it's all friendly.

00:16:50.039 --> 00:16:53.179
This is what I love about this place. All the

00:16:53.179 --> 00:17:04.599
camaraderie. And the cookies. Chet just kind

00:17:04.599 --> 00:17:06.839
of grips his pack knowing his guns in there.

00:17:06.839 --> 00:17:14.240
He grips a little bit tighter. Oh my god. Alright,

00:17:14.359 --> 00:17:17.420
so unless there's any discussion you wish to

00:17:17.420 --> 00:17:22.319
have on this two -hour ride out to the edge of

00:17:22.319 --> 00:17:25.779
the jungle, you know, as you begin to journey,

00:17:26.559 --> 00:17:29.559
you know, you see your little town slowly disappear.

00:17:30.400 --> 00:17:33.920
I don't know... your travel experience of all

00:17:33.920 --> 00:17:37.200
of you. This is a pretty long distance on the

00:17:37.200 --> 00:17:41.119
planet if you haven't really left your locale.

00:17:41.640 --> 00:17:47.759
You're kind of going from a well -manicured farm

00:17:47.759 --> 00:17:52.880
area to like the biome becomes more and more

00:17:52.880 --> 00:17:58.920
densely forested and more jungle and just it

00:17:58.920 --> 00:18:03.509
just kind of goes crazy. After a while, like

00:18:03.509 --> 00:18:05.829
it kind of feels like you've definitely left.

00:18:07.589 --> 00:18:15.309
The area you were in. So I don't know. What more?

00:18:18.849 --> 00:18:21.589
But once you get to the base, I have like a description

00:18:21.589 --> 00:18:25.650
of it, so when we get into the jungle, oh yeah,

00:18:25.690 --> 00:18:29.759
I'll just say. You see Francisco sort of looks

00:18:29.759 --> 00:18:33.500
a little nervous, right? He is from this planet

00:18:33.500 --> 00:18:37.359
and he has never been in the jungle before. It's

00:18:37.359 --> 00:18:44.500
not a place you're supposed to go. Chet probably

00:18:44.500 --> 00:18:49.559
looks like he's going to get milk. He's seen

00:18:49.559 --> 00:18:52.779
this jungle. He's been in this jungle. The only

00:18:52.779 --> 00:18:54.819
difference now is he's getting a ride instead

00:18:54.819 --> 00:18:58.640
of walking. So he's just kind of just ho -hum.

00:18:59.339 --> 00:19:02.339
Like, yep, another trip into the death jungle.

00:19:07.180 --> 00:19:14.000
Good, good. How is Squigs feeling? Squigs is

00:19:14.000 --> 00:19:18.259
honestly kind of indifferent to this. He is not

00:19:18.259 --> 00:19:25.529
actually from Strahl. So he is a relatively traveled

00:19:25.529 --> 00:19:28.910
for a sage being sent by the administration to

00:19:28.910 --> 00:19:32.369
just go places and for whatever reason he keeps

00:19:32.369 --> 00:19:40.470
getting the weird bottom of the barrel Tasks

00:19:40.470 --> 00:19:43.450
like instead of check all of these scrolls. It's

00:19:43.450 --> 00:19:45.970
going to the wooden map woods and map a thing

00:19:45.970 --> 00:19:51.009
so he's He's just kind of like resigned. He just

00:19:51.009 --> 00:19:55.539
sits down With his head his eyes closed his head

00:19:55.539 --> 00:19:57.859
against the back even though I'm sure it's getting

00:19:57.859 --> 00:20:01.720
jostled all over the place just kind of He's

00:20:01.720 --> 00:20:05.819
not bothering to look at the jungle yet figuring

00:20:05.819 --> 00:20:10.579
we have a catachan fighter And it'll be important

00:20:10.579 --> 00:20:12.680
to learn about the jungle once the jungle wants

00:20:12.680 --> 00:20:18.660
to learn about us Right And he doesn't know enough

00:20:18.660 --> 00:20:21.960
about the He wouldn't know enough about the jungle

00:20:22.009 --> 00:20:26.109
or the settings to be like, oh shit, there's

00:20:26.109 --> 00:20:29.829
some messed up stuff out here. So, kind of the

00:20:29.829 --> 00:20:35.849
relaxed of the ignorant. The relaxed of the ignorant,

00:20:36.009 --> 00:20:41.869
I like that. Alright. We'll proceed. Everyone

00:20:41.869 --> 00:20:52.859
can see the map? Yes. Okay, great. You pull up.

00:20:53.880 --> 00:20:56.740
The military base is nestled at the very edge

00:20:56.740 --> 00:21:00.900
of a dense, vibrant jungle. The sight of camouflage

00:21:00.900 --> 00:21:03.460
-clad soldiers moving purposefully across the

00:21:03.460 --> 00:21:06.500
base contrasts with the unruly green tangle of

00:21:06.500 --> 00:21:10.779
the tropical vegetation beyond. The perimeter

00:21:10.779 --> 00:21:13.819
fence is a stark line separating the ordered

00:21:13.819 --> 00:21:16.519
rows of tents and bunkers from the chaotic wilderness

00:21:16.519 --> 00:21:19.630
of the jungle. where towering trees rise within

00:21:19.630 --> 00:21:22.430
their canopies interwoven like an emerald quilt.

00:21:23.769 --> 00:21:26.950
The air is thick with humidity clinging to everything

00:21:26.950 --> 00:21:29.849
like an invisible film the unmistakable smell

00:21:29.849 --> 00:21:33.069
of damp earth and rich vegetation in from the

00:21:33.069 --> 00:21:36.309
jungle mingling with the metallic tang of machinery

00:21:36.309 --> 00:21:40.589
diesel fuel and the faint sweet smell of sunblock.

00:21:44.170 --> 00:21:47.089
The atmosphere is a strange blend of tension

00:21:47.089 --> 00:21:50.190
and routine. The hum of activity is constant.

00:21:50.890 --> 00:21:53.509
The trucks are rumbling over the gravel pack,

00:21:54.029 --> 00:21:56.589
radios crackle with bursts of static and orders,

00:21:57.289 --> 00:21:59.710
and a faint clinging of tools can be heard from

00:21:59.710 --> 00:22:02.990
a mechanic working under a harsh light of various

00:22:02.990 --> 00:22:07.289
lamps. In the distance, the jungle also seems

00:22:07.289 --> 00:22:10.809
alive with its own symphony. A cacophony of cicadas,

00:22:11.029 --> 00:22:14.920
frogs, And the occasional shrill cry of an unseen

00:22:14.920 --> 00:22:17.680
bird or monkey can be heard in the distance.

00:22:21.839 --> 00:22:25.619
So you get up to the gate, and Tenor says, all

00:22:25.619 --> 00:22:32.980
right, we're here. Everyone out. Have you been

00:22:32.980 --> 00:22:35.319
here before, Tenor? You know everybody at this

00:22:35.319 --> 00:22:40.240
camp? Oh, I've been to a few of these before,

00:22:40.319 --> 00:22:45.059
not specifically to this one. I'm sure everyone's

00:22:45.059 --> 00:22:54.460
friendly. Right, right. Uh oh. You okay? I clicked

00:22:54.460 --> 00:22:58.359
a button and my screen exploded. Just one second

00:22:58.359 --> 00:23:02.359
technical difficulty. What about our live studio

00:23:02.359 --> 00:23:06.390
audience? Marlin, no! No, I'm sorry, please,

00:23:06.470 --> 00:23:08.750
everyone hold while everything melts. It has

00:23:08.750 --> 00:23:09.930
been reconstituted. You have to make sure you

00:23:09.930 --> 00:23:13.750
do your proper rites on the side before you start

00:23:13.750 --> 00:23:15.369
pouring. Yeah, the machine spirit was definitely

00:23:15.369 --> 00:23:18.509
mad at me. It opened up all your permissions

00:23:18.509 --> 00:23:21.089
of every single player and I was like, hmm, I

00:23:21.089 --> 00:23:27.210
can delete you guys. Anyway, moving on. I'm sure

00:23:27.210 --> 00:23:35.299
they're all nice inside. Oh, that ride was terrible.

00:23:35.779 --> 00:23:40.339
Well, I mean, now that we're out, I know I'm

00:23:40.339 --> 00:23:43.200
not in charge, but I just want to go over some

00:23:43.200 --> 00:23:46.660
general safety tips to make sure you don't get

00:23:46.660 --> 00:23:50.640
ate or killed or something untoward happens to

00:23:50.640 --> 00:23:54.559
you. So first off, this is the jungle. This isn't

00:23:54.559 --> 00:23:56.700
the base anymore. Well, we got this base, but

00:23:56.700 --> 00:23:59.319
outside is the jungle. If you hear someone say

00:23:59.319 --> 00:24:02.349
your name, know you didn't. You did not hear

00:24:02.349 --> 00:24:05.970
it. Do not follow it. That's probably going to

00:24:05.970 --> 00:24:11.329
get you ate. Don't go off by yourself, unless

00:24:11.329 --> 00:24:13.869
you're me, because that'll probably get you ate.

00:24:15.130 --> 00:24:18.190
If you go out at night, make sure you got a fire.

00:24:18.210 --> 00:24:21.710
Always have a fire burning, and that'll keep

00:24:21.710 --> 00:24:25.269
you from getting ate. But most importantly, y

00:24:25.269 --> 00:24:26.990
'all hear me. Y 'all hear what I sound like.

00:24:27.009 --> 00:24:30.549
This is my voice. If you hear someone say your

00:24:30.549 --> 00:24:35.990
name, No, you didn't You just keep on going don't

00:24:35.990 --> 00:24:39.809
don't talk back to it Don't follow it. You just

00:24:39.809 --> 00:24:42.630
keep on your business That'll keep you from getting

00:24:42.630 --> 00:24:48.430
a Even if it's in your voice, even if it's in

00:24:48.430 --> 00:24:51.750
my voice if you hear me say hey Francisco come

00:24:51.750 --> 00:24:55.349
out here into the woods and You'd say oh, okay.

00:24:55.349 --> 00:24:58.450
I'll do that. Guess what? You just got chubby.

00:24:59.250 --> 00:25:03.769
Oh I did not realize Uh, okay. Yeah. Thank you.

00:25:03.769 --> 00:25:06.750
Thank you, Chuck. I appreciate that. All right.

00:25:07.009 --> 00:25:08.970
If you want to get eight, that's your business.

00:25:09.470 --> 00:25:11.829
I'm not going to tell you what to do with your

00:25:11.829 --> 00:25:15.009
life. I'm just, I prefer not to get eight when

00:25:15.009 --> 00:25:19.009
I walk out the woods. So just giving you a heads

00:25:19.009 --> 00:25:22.390
up, friendly, friendly reminder. These, these

00:25:22.390 --> 00:25:24.950
woods are crazy and there's all kinds of stuff

00:25:24.950 --> 00:25:27.190
in here and weirdness going on. And if you don't

00:25:27.190 --> 00:25:29.150
pay attention to it and if you don't respect

00:25:29.150 --> 00:25:33.509
it. You're gonna get yourself eight. Thank you.

00:25:33.569 --> 00:25:37.309
Yes, not eight is the goal. And Francisco seems

00:25:37.309 --> 00:25:40.650
more scared, less relieved from you talking about

00:25:40.650 --> 00:25:44.230
this. There are a lot of things that will eat

00:25:44.230 --> 00:25:50.609
you out here? Oh, yes. Several things will get

00:25:50.609 --> 00:25:55.430
you eight. There are giant wolves. There are

00:25:55.430 --> 00:25:59.029
exploding frogs. But, uh, some fool brought from

00:25:59.029 --> 00:26:03.089
Ketchikan thinking it was a fun time, but if

00:26:03.089 --> 00:26:05.470
it explodes, it will literally kill everything

00:26:05.470 --> 00:26:10.609
in a several mile radius. Then there's the ghosts,

00:26:10.789 --> 00:26:14.529
there's the haints, and then there's just weird

00:26:14.529 --> 00:26:18.150
mountain folk. Woods folk, they go out in the

00:26:18.150 --> 00:26:20.130
jungle and they get all weird. You don't want

00:26:20.130 --> 00:26:21.849
to mess with them because they will look especially

00:26:21.849 --> 00:26:29.559
each end and think it tastes good. Well, I'm

00:26:29.559 --> 00:26:40.440
glad you're here then. I'm just saying, if it's

00:26:40.440 --> 00:26:44.220
a situation where I get eight, personally, all

00:26:44.220 --> 00:26:47.180
of you are gonna get eight right after me. But

00:26:47.180 --> 00:26:49.779
you don't want that's worst case scenario is

00:26:49.779 --> 00:26:52.299
I get eight. Best case scenario is one of y 'all

00:26:52.299 --> 00:26:54.480
get eight first and then I say, okay, well one

00:26:54.480 --> 00:26:56.519
of y 'all got eight so now we can adjust our

00:26:56.519 --> 00:27:06.509
tactics. Note to self, get eaten second. And

00:27:06.509 --> 00:27:11.210
I just pat Francisco on the shoulder. I follow

00:27:11.210 --> 00:27:16.309
Tanner to the base. I put out a hand once again

00:27:16.309 --> 00:27:22.029
to help Chet down from the monster truck. I told

00:27:22.029 --> 00:27:24.230
you I can do it myself. Just don't look at me.

00:27:24.450 --> 00:27:26.369
You can do it. That doesn't mean I'm not going

00:27:26.369 --> 00:27:28.960
to be polite. Well, you know, I appreciate the

00:27:28.960 --> 00:27:31.500
politeness. I appreciate it, but I don't need

00:27:31.500 --> 00:27:33.720
assistance getting down from this gigantic machine.

00:27:34.920 --> 00:27:39.180
All right. And he hops down like a child. I just

00:27:39.180 --> 00:27:45.779
I'm already following Francisco. All right. You

00:27:45.779 --> 00:27:48.240
guys make your way to the gate and two soldiers

00:27:48.240 --> 00:27:57.789
stop you. And say. Oi! Audis! You got the data

00:27:57.789 --> 00:28:03.250
slate? Alright, take out the data slate. And

00:28:03.250 --> 00:28:06.230
one of them looks at it, pulls out his data slate

00:28:06.230 --> 00:28:12.390
and aims it at it, and pulls it back. Alright.

00:28:13.589 --> 00:28:17.210
You three are get inside, collect yourselves,

00:28:17.690 --> 00:28:20.970
and then you'll be assigned a quadrant. So here

00:28:20.970 --> 00:28:24.329
on the map you'll see the mess hall slash common

00:28:24.329 --> 00:28:27.819
area on the top and on the bottom. You have the

00:28:27.819 --> 00:28:31.420
headquarter tent, so the soldiers direct you

00:28:31.420 --> 00:28:35.559
towards the bottom tent for headquarters. You

00:28:35.559 --> 00:28:48.660
guys can move your tokens, right? Yes. Okay.

00:28:49.619 --> 00:28:57.480
Inside you see two well -armed... scarred men

00:28:57.480 --> 00:29:01.480
arguing as you approach the tent. You can hear

00:29:01.480 --> 00:29:07.420
them start getting heated. We just, we just don't

00:29:07.420 --> 00:29:10.539
have enough resources to continue pushing this

00:29:10.539 --> 00:29:13.519
way. Do you know how many men we've lost already?

00:29:14.400 --> 00:29:18.259
We can't keep this up. Listen, orders from the

00:29:18.259 --> 00:29:22.200
top are to keep pushing and to find that new

00:29:22.200 --> 00:29:25.400
area where we can expand. We're gonna need a

00:29:25.400 --> 00:29:29.099
landing zone. We can't keep driving the soldiers

00:29:29.099 --> 00:29:33.099
out here. I don't care. The upper brass has no

00:29:33.099 --> 00:29:35.119
idea what they're talking about. They've never

00:29:35.119 --> 00:29:39.980
been inside. Yeah, but... And he looks over.

00:29:40.900 --> 00:29:50.039
Ah! Fresh blood. Yep, that's us. Sounds like

00:29:50.039 --> 00:29:57.250
we had a bunch of people get ate. Well... That's

00:29:57.250 --> 00:30:02.589
one way to put it. And who might you three be?

00:30:04.470 --> 00:30:09.890
Hello, I'm Francisco Torrent. I indicate the

00:30:09.890 --> 00:30:19.990
others. Squigs. McShrater. I'm Chet Longbottom

00:30:19.990 --> 00:30:26.880
from the Birmingham Longbottoms. Right. Did Sergeant

00:30:26.880 --> 00:30:34.299
Busan send you? That's us. Great. We did requisition

00:30:34.299 --> 00:30:38.099
six troops, he knows that, right? You three will

00:30:38.099 --> 00:30:40.880
have to do just fine. We've been having a little

00:30:40.880 --> 00:30:45.200
trouble here, and you've come at a fortuitous

00:30:45.200 --> 00:30:49.640
time. The last group of six we just sent out,

00:30:50.500 --> 00:30:52.099
well they're in the other, they're in the med

00:30:52.099 --> 00:30:57.740
tent right now. Out of commission. So, I'm happier

00:30:57.740 --> 00:30:59.500
here that you get to continue where they left

00:30:59.500 --> 00:31:06.960
off. What put them out of commission? Oh, you

00:31:06.960 --> 00:31:10.940
know, a battery of things. The Krasdan beasts,

00:31:11.579 --> 00:31:16.140
the Grimballs, other flying shenanigans. Flying

00:31:16.140 --> 00:31:20.140
shenanigans? Yeah, flying shenanigans are probably

00:31:20.140 --> 00:31:23.079
the worst of it. kinds of shenanigans you could

00:31:23.079 --> 00:31:28.819
run into in the jungle. Oh, yeah. Well, I mean,

00:31:28.839 --> 00:31:32.819
you guys know about the Krasdin and the Grimballs.

00:31:33.400 --> 00:31:35.079
Don't tell me you don't know about the Rendoken.

00:31:35.680 --> 00:31:38.920
I do not know about any of the things you mentioned.

00:31:40.380 --> 00:31:45.420
The animals? Chef's just not in his head. You

00:31:45.420 --> 00:31:49.200
see him lean over to the other the other soldier

00:31:49.200 --> 00:31:53.720
and say, Can you requisition for more? Medical

00:31:53.720 --> 00:31:56.839
supplies and he looks back. No, it's fine. You

00:31:56.839 --> 00:32:00.420
don't need to know about them Just be safe out

00:32:00.420 --> 00:32:05.880
there Do you have any records of what you have

00:32:05.880 --> 00:32:08.599
encountered thus far or can you provide any other

00:32:08.599 --> 00:32:14.720
information about the area for our safety? Hmm.

00:32:15.859 --> 00:32:19.619
Yes, I bet The previous team, their data slate,

00:32:19.779 --> 00:32:21.900
I bet they've recorded something. I don't have

00:32:21.900 --> 00:32:24.160
it with me, so you might have to ask them where

00:32:24.160 --> 00:32:28.279
it is. You go to the medical tent, a couple yards

00:32:28.279 --> 00:32:33.819
that way. Talk to Grim. He was the leader. And

00:32:33.819 --> 00:32:37.559
if you need anything else, I'm Falmer. Come talk

00:32:37.559 --> 00:32:40.779
to me. I'll look up to him, I'll write down...

00:32:40.779 --> 00:32:43.579
I'll just look at him like Falmer, while writing

00:32:43.579 --> 00:32:45.380
down his name on a sheet without breaking eye

00:32:45.380 --> 00:32:51.359
contact. Farmer, how's your mom doing? How's

00:32:51.359 --> 00:32:55.500
she doing? I haven't spoken to my mother in quite

00:32:55.500 --> 00:32:57.839
a long time. The communication's not good out

00:32:57.839 --> 00:33:00.160
here. Why are you asking me such a strange question?

00:33:00.740 --> 00:33:04.299
Well, no wait, that's not you. That was another

00:33:04.299 --> 00:33:06.119
one that I was talking to the last time I was

00:33:06.119 --> 00:33:10.720
out here. Said his mom was making him some pound

00:33:10.720 --> 00:33:14.180
cake or some kind of cake. I thought, no, that

00:33:14.180 --> 00:33:16.519
was somebody else. That's my fault. I'm sorry.

00:33:17.380 --> 00:33:19.680
And I'm sorry about your lack of communication

00:33:19.680 --> 00:33:21.819
with your mother. That's sad. You should talk

00:33:21.819 --> 00:33:26.900
to your mama. Uh, thanks, uh. He likes struggles.

00:33:27.339 --> 00:33:30.099
Chet, right? That's right. Chet Longbottom from

00:33:30.099 --> 00:33:35.559
the Birmingham Longbottoms. Right, right. Well,

00:33:35.839 --> 00:33:40.039
you three take a little bit to collect yourselves.

00:33:40.099 --> 00:33:43.799
I'm sure it was a long drive, and then... You

00:33:43.799 --> 00:33:46.799
know you've got orders. We've got orders, so

00:33:46.799 --> 00:33:56.819
good luck Thank you Yeah, we're good gives you

00:33:56.819 --> 00:33:59.720
the sign of the acquiesce and then he nods his

00:33:59.720 --> 00:34:02.920
head and he goes back to arguing with the other

00:34:02.920 --> 00:34:08.219
soldier All right, I guess we'll go talk to grim

00:34:13.230 --> 00:34:16.710
Yeah, that makes sense to me. We'll go talk to

00:34:16.710 --> 00:34:24.829
Grim During all of that They seemed flustered

00:34:24.829 --> 00:34:29.769
like How were they flustered because of how fucked

00:34:29.769 --> 00:34:33.030
things are how behind schedule they are some

00:34:33.030 --> 00:34:40.230
other thing Okay, let's try to roll Was only

00:34:40.230 --> 00:34:46.610
fishing for that Now you got a roll first roll

00:34:46.610 --> 00:34:52.130
there we go Yeah, I'm pretty good at reading

00:34:52.130 --> 00:34:56.349
other people so I want to know We have to get

00:34:56.349 --> 00:34:59.269
this done, so I want to know like what will keep

00:34:59.269 --> 00:35:02.130
us alive. That's what I'm like You've got it.

00:35:02.130 --> 00:35:05.090
You've got an insight. Yes, I do some insight

00:35:05.090 --> 00:35:08.550
All right, and then depending on how many successes

00:35:08.880 --> 00:35:14.039
I'll reveal more or less information. Okay. Let's

00:35:14.039 --> 00:35:22.179
roll. Alright. I have two successes. Good. Two

00:35:22.179 --> 00:35:26.519
successes. And a four on the die. On the wrath

00:35:26.519 --> 00:35:34.539
die. On the wrath die. Nice. Um, so... You can

00:35:34.539 --> 00:35:39.369
tell that things aren't great. Like... the like

00:35:39.369 --> 00:35:43.530
now that you've spent a couple minutes ten minutes

00:35:43.530 --> 00:35:46.710
kind of wandering around you've spoken to the

00:35:46.710 --> 00:35:52.789
leaders and It just everything doesn't look great.

00:35:52.789 --> 00:35:55.550
You know everything is run down. You know you

00:35:55.550 --> 00:35:58.969
take a look in the back of this tent and like

00:35:58.969 --> 00:36:01.849
Clearly where there there's like supposed to

00:36:01.849 --> 00:36:08.190
be supplies. It's they're dwindling like The

00:36:08.190 --> 00:36:10.869
tent is made for like boxes to be piled pretty

00:36:10.869 --> 00:36:13.969
high You can see like drag marks on the floor

00:36:13.969 --> 00:36:16.929
where a bunch of crates have been taken out already

00:36:16.929 --> 00:36:24.429
And it's Kind of rough and there you can tell

00:36:24.429 --> 00:36:28.789
that they're tired they have lots of scars Some

00:36:28.789 --> 00:36:33.750
old some fresh so you can you can definitely

00:36:33.750 --> 00:36:38.019
commiserate with the everything's not like fucked

00:36:38.019 --> 00:36:44.059
beyond belief or If we want to not swear everything's

00:36:44.059 --> 00:36:49.039
not bent beyond belief, but It's not gonna be

00:36:49.039 --> 00:36:53.679
a walk in the park Okay So they're kind of too

00:36:53.679 --> 00:36:56.099
they're kind of pushed towards the edge of what

00:36:56.099 --> 00:36:59.099
they're supposed to do and just don't care do

00:36:59.099 --> 00:37:04.900
what you have to Right yeah, they're they're

00:37:04.900 --> 00:37:07.619
definitely in the do what you have to, you know,

00:37:07.780 --> 00:37:09.980
just right away you could tell like they requisitioned

00:37:09.980 --> 00:37:11.900
for six additional soldiers, they got three.

00:37:13.039 --> 00:37:17.380
So that tracks. All right. And as we're making

00:37:17.380 --> 00:37:18.800
our way over the tent, I'll be like, well, it

00:37:18.800 --> 00:37:21.119
seems things are not going as well as they could

00:37:21.119 --> 00:37:23.320
be here. I think we should. Yeah, that sounds

00:37:23.320 --> 00:37:25.820
about right. I mean, you don't respect the rules

00:37:25.820 --> 00:37:27.800
of the jungle in the woods. You're going to get

00:37:27.800 --> 00:37:29.800
up, you're going to get ate, and you're going

00:37:29.800 --> 00:37:33.329
to end up having a bad time. Yeah, you gotta

00:37:33.329 --> 00:37:35.510
respect it. You gotta respect it. I don't think

00:37:35.510 --> 00:37:40.869
they are respected. Yeah, Chet, you've been to

00:37:40.869 --> 00:37:44.650
the jungle out west, right? This is the eastern

00:37:44.650 --> 00:37:46.789
jungle. Have you heard anything that's different

00:37:46.789 --> 00:37:48.329
here, maybe? Because you guys seem to be doing

00:37:48.329 --> 00:37:52.929
a really good job out west. Well, out west, I

00:37:52.929 --> 00:37:54.889
would say it's probably about the same as it

00:37:54.889 --> 00:37:58.230
is over here. It's just, you know, a lot more

00:37:58.230 --> 00:38:00.329
people are getting ate over here. You gotta...

00:38:01.360 --> 00:38:04.039
Going west is a lot more trodden. You got a lot

00:38:04.039 --> 00:38:07.619
of established stuff back west, so it's more

00:38:07.619 --> 00:38:11.820
enforced. There's more troops. Going east is

00:38:11.820 --> 00:38:13.920
just like starting all over. You got to basically

00:38:13.920 --> 00:38:17.260
start from zero. You got to reset up everything

00:38:17.260 --> 00:38:21.260
that you had to kind of get how it is west over

00:38:21.260 --> 00:38:25.500
here. They got a long, long, long road to travel.

00:38:25.559 --> 00:38:32.829
They want to get it like it is over there. Alright,

00:38:33.429 --> 00:38:35.329
I guess that's what we're here for then. But

00:38:35.329 --> 00:38:36.929
yeah, if everyone's ready, we'll head to the

00:38:36.929 --> 00:38:41.809
tent and we'll go try to find Grimm. So you enter

00:38:41.809 --> 00:38:49.010
the field hospital. You can see inside, it is

00:38:49.010 --> 00:38:52.750
a large canvas tent. Its edges flapping gently

00:38:52.750 --> 00:38:56.110
in the humid breeze. Inside are rows of cots

00:38:56.110 --> 00:38:59.570
that are all lined up, each occupied by a soldier

00:38:59.570 --> 00:39:04.030
in various states of recovery. The air is thick

00:39:04.030 --> 00:39:08.789
with a sense of antiseptic sweat and the ever

00:39:08.789 --> 00:39:13.809
-present earthly aroma of the jungle. Occasionally

00:39:13.809 --> 00:39:18.610
you hear the soft groaning of different men in

00:39:18.610 --> 00:39:26.210
pain and the complaining. You can see various

00:39:26.210 --> 00:39:32.199
full hazard bags of bloody bandages. A medic

00:39:32.199 --> 00:39:35.079
moves swiftly, but gently in between the cots.

00:39:35.679 --> 00:39:38.380
Their uniform is stained with the evidence of

00:39:38.380 --> 00:39:40.380
their tireless work. Well, that doesn't look

00:39:40.380 --> 00:39:44.460
good. Excuse us, everyone. We're looking for

00:39:44.460 --> 00:39:48.980
a Grimm. We're the next guys to explore out east,

00:39:49.219 --> 00:39:55.659
looking for the landing zone. On the mention

00:39:55.659 --> 00:39:59.159
of the name Grimm, you see a soldier in the furthest

00:39:59.159 --> 00:40:05.019
corner. Sit up in bed and turn towards you his

00:40:05.019 --> 00:40:10.219
face Bandage pretty heavily on the right side

00:40:10.219 --> 00:40:13.940
his arm and legs his right arm and his left leg

00:40:13.940 --> 00:40:18.699
are in a sling and he is Trying to lift himself

00:40:18.699 --> 00:40:23.920
up to like with his left arm to sit up I'll rush

00:40:23.920 --> 00:40:29.730
over and like try to help him Will Chet recognize

00:40:29.730 --> 00:40:36.590
any of these guys? I would say that, yes, you

00:40:36.590 --> 00:40:41.590
would recognize some of these soldiers are ones

00:40:41.590 --> 00:40:44.130
you've worked with in the past and they look

00:40:44.130 --> 00:40:46.250
pretty bad. They were not like this when you

00:40:46.250 --> 00:40:51.150
left them last. Well, damn, y 'all look like

00:40:51.150 --> 00:40:53.250
y 'all got properly messed up going out there.

00:40:56.280 --> 00:41:02.400
What's the most Prevalent type of injury to them

00:41:02.400 --> 00:41:06.599
for them like the claw you would see like scratches

00:41:06.599 --> 00:41:10.500
and claw marks They just look like they were

00:41:10.500 --> 00:41:14.400
I mean I can roll Medicaid if you want to No,

00:41:14.559 --> 00:41:16.599
I mean you're in a hospital it's pretty evident

00:41:16.599 --> 00:41:19.199
that Well, cuz I'm just trying to like assess

00:41:19.199 --> 00:41:21.920
them without actually like talking just like

00:41:21.920 --> 00:41:24.519
taking assessments an eye assessment if that

00:41:24.519 --> 00:41:29.909
makes sense Sure Just without I've already just

00:41:29.909 --> 00:41:35.949
yeah It's pretty evident that they that They're

00:41:35.949 --> 00:41:39.289
like this their skin wounds look like claws do

00:41:39.289 --> 00:41:41.489
something scratch them like it's pretty obvious

00:41:41.489 --> 00:41:44.030
Any more detail than that and then you'll have

00:41:44.030 --> 00:41:49.610
to roll, okay? Yes, so they just look like they

00:41:49.610 --> 00:41:51.769
were clawed up pretty bad or do they look like

00:41:51.769 --> 00:41:57.019
superficial yeah No, it's like More tiger less

00:41:57.019 --> 00:42:00.679
house cat More tiger less house cat. Absolutely

00:42:00.679 --> 00:42:04.059
more tigers and bears Less I ran into a bunch

00:42:04.059 --> 00:42:08.820
of thorns. Okay Well, that does not look ideal

00:42:08.820 --> 00:42:17.420
Grim sits up His eyes heavy you can see the tireless

00:42:17.420 --> 00:42:22.019
bags As he's moving you can hear one of his stitches

00:42:22.019 --> 00:42:25.010
pop and it like bleeds a little bit And he's

00:42:25.010 --> 00:42:32.530
like, ugh. Who said my name? Private Francisco

00:42:32.530 --> 00:42:36.969
Toren, sir. I'm here to venture out and look

00:42:36.969 --> 00:42:39.590
for the scouting, or scout out the landing zone

00:42:39.590 --> 00:42:41.829
of the jungle. I was told to talk to you about

00:42:41.829 --> 00:42:44.849
your, any pauses for a very serious moment. It's

00:42:44.849 --> 00:42:54.699
like progress. Oh. I see. A progress report is

00:42:54.699 --> 00:43:05.400
what they want. Alright. Another band of misfits

00:43:05.400 --> 00:43:12.039
sent out into the meat grinder. Here. This is

00:43:12.039 --> 00:43:14.760
how far we made it before we had to turn around.

00:43:15.300 --> 00:43:21.179
And he takes out a slate, hands it to you. Download

00:43:21.179 --> 00:43:26.989
the information. I'll download it to my data

00:43:26.989 --> 00:43:34.969
file. Okay. He looks at Unisys. How old? How

00:43:34.969 --> 00:43:38.650
long you been doing this, son? Uh, less than

00:43:38.650 --> 00:43:48.429
a year. Yeah, you look fresh. Your eyes are still

00:43:48.429 --> 00:43:54.500
bright. Just wait. Just wait until you have the

00:43:54.500 --> 00:43:57.280
look like that one over there. Any points towards

00:43:57.280 --> 00:44:01.659
Chet? Well now, let's not go - you're calling

00:44:01.659 --> 00:44:09.380
me ugly because that's rude. No. Your eyes. I

00:44:09.380 --> 00:44:12.500
can see that you've been in the jungle before,

00:44:12.579 --> 00:44:16.780
haven't you? Oh yeah, I've spent some time up

00:44:16.780 --> 00:44:18.880
in this jungle. I've seen a lot of people - I

00:44:18.880 --> 00:44:22.469
spent time out west. You know, I - Seen a lot

00:44:22.469 --> 00:44:25.710
of people get ate, seen a lot of people get killed,

00:44:26.289 --> 00:44:31.050
stabbed up, shot up, cannibals, those monkey

00:44:31.050 --> 00:44:33.530
bats, the big monkey bats, I saw some of them.

00:44:34.309 --> 00:44:39.230
Oh, good. Yeah. You know a little bit. But just

00:44:39.230 --> 00:44:44.969
know this. Out West isn't out East. I heard you

00:44:44.969 --> 00:44:48.070
talking to some of my boys here. They're from

00:44:48.070 --> 00:44:51.840
out West. I thought we would have been more prepared.

00:44:54.039 --> 00:44:57.460
We lost two of them in the fight. Had to drag

00:44:57.460 --> 00:45:00.860
these three bumbos back. It's chaos out there,

00:45:01.179 --> 00:45:04.659
boys. What were you fighting? We weren't able

00:45:04.659 --> 00:45:10.539
to find a suitable landing zone. Oh. We were

00:45:10.539 --> 00:45:14.539
fighting everything. Everything that claws. Everything

00:45:14.539 --> 00:45:17.940
that bites. Everything that snatches you away

00:45:17.940 --> 00:45:20.719
in the dark. and Chet kind of looks around like

00:45:20.719 --> 00:45:22.639
this is what i was talking about you got to respect

00:45:22.639 --> 00:45:25.280
the jungle you gotta follow the rules you know

00:45:25.280 --> 00:45:28.820
if you're not careful you're gonna get ate that's

00:45:28.820 --> 00:45:30.579
what i've been telling them i've been telling

00:45:30.579 --> 00:45:31.980
them they're gonna get ate if they don't follow

00:45:31.980 --> 00:45:34.480
the rules and respect the jungle you know hopefully

00:45:34.480 --> 00:45:37.199
coming from you they might take that with a little

00:45:37.199 --> 00:45:42.760
more gravity we'll we'll be careful brim all

00:45:42.760 --> 00:45:47.849
right good You've got your information. Let me

00:45:47.849 --> 00:45:51.889
get back to sleep All right, I leave them as

00:45:51.889 --> 00:45:56.610
I also hand the file over to Squigs because he

00:45:56.610 --> 00:45:58.809
seemed very interested in the data file the last

00:45:58.809 --> 00:46:03.670
time we got one Yep I'm going to look it over

00:46:03.670 --> 00:46:07.309
Yep, you can see the the various paths. They

00:46:07.309 --> 00:46:10.969
took where was you know they have a bunch of

00:46:10.969 --> 00:46:14.190
bunch of areas crossed off that you know dead

00:46:14.190 --> 00:46:16.230
ends they had to turn around not suitable, you

00:46:16.230 --> 00:46:19.489
know, you see not suitable for landing and then

00:46:19.489 --> 00:46:24.070
you see one area where It's very clear that they

00:46:24.070 --> 00:46:25.849
that's probably where they went and they had

00:46:25.849 --> 00:46:30.070
to turn around and come back That overlap this

00:46:30.070 --> 00:46:31.849
where they look overlap where we're supposed

00:46:31.849 --> 00:46:37.650
to head out Yes Okay, perfect so I'll just start

00:46:37.650 --> 00:46:40.650
you see me start just going through it with an

00:46:40.650 --> 00:46:43.670
auto quail just real quick mapping out on an

00:46:43.670 --> 00:46:48.190
actual scroll I'm not going through with the

00:46:48.190 --> 00:46:51.610
the data pad and then as I look over I look over

00:46:51.610 --> 00:46:55.829
all of that like Well, this should be Interesting

00:46:55.829 --> 00:46:58.670
and I'll show you too. I'm not even stepping

00:46:58.670 --> 00:47:00.869
into the tan It's like looks like right over

00:47:00.869 --> 00:47:02.489
here and I point to where they turned back is

00:47:02.489 --> 00:47:06.110
where they had the issue with Whatever toward

00:47:06.110 --> 00:47:10.550
them all apart Okay As you're looking over the

00:47:10.550 --> 00:47:14.710
data slate and studying what they've done, you

00:47:14.710 --> 00:47:18.210
hear in the distance a guttural roar from the

00:47:18.210 --> 00:47:20.789
depths of the jungle, followed by the rustling

00:47:20.789 --> 00:47:25.889
of leaves and the snapping of branches. You can

00:47:25.889 --> 00:47:29.110
see in the tent some soldiers, they freeze. Their

00:47:29.110 --> 00:47:33.449
eyes are scanning outside in the treeline. And

00:47:33.449 --> 00:47:35.590
without warning, the jungle erupts into chaos.

00:47:36.980 --> 00:47:39.239
