Welcome to Roll 4 Heresy, with Walton playing
Chet, Cliff playing Francisco, Tim playing Squigs,
and Kevin as RGM. Last time, our three heroes,
Chet, veteran soldier in the Catacan Jungle Fighters
Penal Division, Francisco, enthusiastic new volunteer
in Strahl's Imperial Guard, and Squigs, a scribe
and bureaucrat originally assigned to Strahl's
military to keep track of supplies, were brought
together on a mission to scout the wilds of the
jungle for a new landing zone. We find ourselves
back where we left at the base being just dismissed
by Sergeant Busan giving you the instructions
to gather up whatever belongings you wish to
take and meet The travel team at the edge of
the base That's where you begin. Oh, yeah I'll
say to Chet like okay, so obviously I I mean
you got to stay in shackles for a little bit
Do you need a hand like packing up your gear
and everything then? Well, here's the thing,
Francisco. I only keep a couple things with me.
They have my rifle. That's Betty. You'll meet
her as soon as they give her to me. And then
I keep a knife. Well, I don't keep a knife. They
give me a knife. Usually when they let me loose,
that's when they give me all the stuff back.
OK, so. I should hang on to the stuff until it's
time to let you loose? Well, I'm not a, you know,
one of those logistical type of people, but usually
they uncuff me first and then they say, all right,
now, Chet, we're going to give you your stuff
back. Don't shoot nobody. And then I say, OK,
well, I'll think about it. And then they give
me my stuff and then they kind of there's a vague
window of will I shoot someone before I leave
the game? And then I eventually just kind of
walk out and do whatever I've been told to do.
Oh, that makes sense then. Alright, perfect.
Uh, uh, great. I'll follow you to that, then.
Alright, now, so, uh... Who, uh... Who's got
my stuff? You know who's got my gear? I do not.
My stuff is all in my bunk. I'm allowed to keep
it, so... I'll go get that, and then we'll meet
up with... the quartermaster, I suppose. Yes,
you would know that your gear is requisitioned
behind a locked gate by the quartermaster. Alright,
and then Squigs, you'll just get your gear with
us as well, right? You don't have anything special?
I've brought everything I need. I have my auto
quill. We'll be able to record our progress.
Wonderful. Alright, then let's head over to the
quartermaster. Alright. You all three of you
Wander out of the sergeant's office towards the
quartermaster Chet's chains clanging You know
Francisco and squigs noticing the hustle and
bustle of the ever -increasing Supply of people
in this military base is every day. It seems
like it's getting more full so you get to the
quartermaster and he says All right, what do
you want? Sergeant Busan is sending us out into
the jungle, out east. We're to be requisitioned
with munitions and armaments and the usual travel
stuff for... I actually don't know how many days
we're supposed to be out there. Oh yeah. You're
the three new lucky ones. All right. And he slides
three packs over. In there you're gonna find
your... standard lasgun a few days of provisions
and a few other miscellaneous things that you'll
need so All right, you three should be all set
when you grab those Thank you very much I Was
told that you're supposed to meet the travel
team at the edge of the base Go there and hand
them this, and they should take you to base,
and he slides over a data slate. I will reach
out and take the data slate before Francisco
has a chance to grab it. Snake. I feel slightly
relieved that I'm not doing that. Excellent.
Alright. Alright. Have fun! And I'm just gonna
start leafing through it, following like... Just
like walking behind Francisco wherever we go
whatever we're doing until I'm done reading the
data slate. Just yeah, it gives you a basic overview
of Where where to go where the where the edge
the jungle edge base is It kind of gives you
an idea of what's already been scouted and where
not to go and Kind of like just like a brief
summary of everything that's happened so far
Mm -hmm. All right, well, I'm not carrying your
pack for you, Chet, so, uh, I guess this is the
part where I uncuff you and then just say, don't
shoot anybody, please, Chet. Oh, yeah, sure,
you can go ahead and let me go right now, that's
fine. All right. All right, so, uh, I'll uncuff
your, uh, your arms and legs and... Actually,
you know what? I'll uncuff your arms and then
just leave the legs for now. Because you definitely
don't need your legs to carry your backpack.
So I'm like, all right. You're one of them smart
ones. Okay. All right. Lesson learned. I took
you for a root for a little bit, but I'm re -evaluating
our situation now. That's smart of you. Oh, I
appreciate that Chet. But yeah, once we all have
our packs, I'll just start heading over to the
edge of base. Do you three wish to do anything
else in town, or are you headed towards the transport?
I don't feel like there's anything else Squigs
would need to do. Unless... As I look this over,
does it seem like there's actual orders called
out, or did they just give us some random...
Alright, we'll give them some food, baby. Oh,
here's this random gun in the back that way.
I don't have to count for it Yeah, you feel it's
the bare minimum that they gave you so if there's
something you specifically want Like they're
not they're not trying to send you out to like
it's clear They're not trying to send you out
to die like they didn't give you like a stick
and like half a sandwich That's already rotten,
but they didn't give you two weeks of food. You
know It's only a week's worth of rations. Okay,
you get standard issue you know amount of ammo
and the gun so if you know the combat knife and
if you have like a sword or some other weapon
that you know maybe you think you have you know
nothing crazy like no one's coming with a chainsword
but something else just let me know for god what
pattern heavy bolters I'm giving you everything
that's on your character sheet oh good that you
want so that's that's what's in the pack Convenient.
Reasonably, you're gonna open it up and be like,
it probably makes sense that I have flint and
tinder. I'm like, yes you do. Or like a portable
tent or something to sleep in. Like that's everything
that, kind of like, here's your adventuring pack.
12 Godwin pattern heavy bolters. 17 ,000 gallons
of flamer fuel. It's just... No flamer though.
No, no flamer. No flamer, you have to use flint
and tinder on it. Just pop the top and fucking
hope for the best. That tracks. Does the data
file say if we're like traveling with people,
or are we gonna have a car, or what does it say
about how we get to the place? Once I've finished
reading it, I will hand it over to Francisco,
having memorized what's on there. Yes, so you
would know that the Strahl system is newer, and
As the Imperium and the Mechanicus are beginning
to aid your efforts in mapping out the world,
they haven't given you like a thousand ships
and a thousand different things. So, you know,
they're doing general scans and they know generally
where they want you guys to go, but they're not
doing like flyovers, like specifically find stuff.
So they're gonna drive you to a base that they
established at the edge. And it's gonna be your
job to go venture forth where they think something
of value might be. And you have, like, just in
person, like, they're not willing to sacrifice
the fuel and the resources to send planes and
robots and stuff like that. People are cheaper
than that. Yeah, so it's basically you three
are just one team and you you know that based
on the you know based on Chet and based on the
other catacom jungle fighters that they regularly
send out Teams to go scout and to go look at
stuff Chet actually had just come back from exploring
the West You know quote -unquote his backstory
And all the troubles and tribulations that he
can you know if you wish to add something Interesting
that happened to you while you were out there
or some bit of wisdom that you can add to the
team We can incorporate that the real real low
-tech Just like go out and figure it out peasant
machetes and compasses and all that Yeah, yeah,
all right fair enough. Yeah All right, then yeah,
I guess if they gave us enough stuff for this
or whatever's on my character sheet, we'll go
to it and Give it a shot. All right, any more
any more questions or nope. Nope I've they're
checking to make sure everything else was good
Just begin kind of like walking behind and Looks
looking up periodically and mapping once we're
ready to get out unless we have to deal with
any bureaucrats I'm gonna let Francisco We let
Francisco talk us through this so way I don't
have to check all those their papers It doesn't
seem anyone is standing in your way. You all
look like you belong you all understand how the
face works, so you'd know just to walk to the
exit where they station all the vehicles. Alright,
you make your way towards the vehicle depot and
there you see Tenor talking to somebody and Tenor's
got a pair of keys in his hand. Hey Tenor, you
know what time it is? It's time for them to undo
all these shackles and let me get to work. You
can see him turn and he says, oh, hey, guys.
Are you the ones I'm driving to the base on the
edge of the jungle? Oh, Tanner, when they let
you drive? Hold on. First of all, did you eat
my cookies? You said I could. Of course I did.
I don't even know why I asked. You know what?
OK. They were very delicious. Although I don't
know why you had so many oatmeal raisins. I have
a sophisticated palate and oatmeal raisin cookies
are the best cookie for a man in my situation.
Okay, Chet. Agree to disagree. Man's cookies
and salt is cookie choice. Tanner, I hope I don't
see you for a good long while after this. I know
that's rude. I'm just gonna say that and put
that out there. You take it as you want. Okay
Chet, I love you too, buddy. Do you guys know
where anything you want? Tenor's brain is melting.
My brain is melting. Are you guys ready to leave?
Yeah, I think so. Just once we get out to the
base, you know, we'll just start mapping. I mean,
we're... No direction is wrong, right? As long
as it's east, I suppose. Well, the wrong direction
is the one that gets you eight. Fair enough.
Fair enough. We will look out for getting eight,
I guess. Is there any existing maps that you
have that go adjacent to the region we're mapping?
Does that look a tenor? Uh... Do you have a data
slate? Everything should be on there. Were there
any existing maps in the data slate? Yeah, basically
the maps go to the edge of the jungle and then
it just like stops and it's kind of like they
have like a bunch of X's being like explore here
next and it's looking to be like up to you guys
to figure out. So here there would be bullshit?
Here there would be bullshit right and then you
know a peek behind the curtain like pick anywhere
i don't have 45 adventures for you to go on so
i call bullshit how dare you all right hop in
then and we'll get going i know chet gets ornery
if you stand too long well i'm a i'm a busy person
and i got things to do so i don't like wasting
time Oh Chet, sometimes you just gotta smell
the roses. And then he, you see him, you know,
click the button. You can hear the vehicle unlock.
Alright, I guess we won't waste any more time.
And he gets in the driver's seat. I offer a handout
to Chet to help him up. That's much appreciated.
I can make my way in this vehicle and he kinda
hops up in there like a kid. Okay, just kind
of scrambles and clinks and clanks Don't don't
look at me. All right. I Also actually get in
the back seat so that none of us have to sit
shotgun next I was gonna ask who sits in the
front seat, but nobody does I'll sit in the front
seat. I haven't had any time to deal with tenor
I don't know anything about tenor. I have a feeling
I'm going to You guys in the back. I'll get in
the front seat and Sit down start moving things
around and immediately Take my las pistol out
check the charge check the safety and then put
it away In a very unscholar like Manner Tenor
looks over Looks in the back give everyone gives
everyone a nod and he starts the vehicle and
begins to drive away He looks back and says all
right buckle up. It's gonna be a few hours You
know what the Sarge says You can't shoot me in
the head because you'd miss. You know what? You
keep on pushing me, Tanner. You just keep on
pushing. Oh, you know. You know it's all friendly.
This is what I love about this place. All the
camaraderie. And the cookies. Chet just kind
of grips his pack knowing his guns in there.
He grips a little bit tighter. Oh my god. Alright,
so unless there's any discussion you wish to
have on this two -hour ride out to the edge of
the jungle, you know, as you begin to journey,
you know, you see your little town slowly disappear.
I don't know... your travel experience of all
of you. This is a pretty long distance on the
planet if you haven't really left your locale.
You're kind of going from a well -manicured farm
area to like the biome becomes more and more
densely forested and more jungle and just it
just kind of goes crazy. After a while, like
it kind of feels like you've definitely left.
The area you were in. So I don't know. What more?
But once you get to the base, I have like a description
of it, so when we get into the jungle, oh yeah,
I'll just say. You see Francisco sort of looks
a little nervous, right? He is from this planet
and he has never been in the jungle before. It's
not a place you're supposed to go. Chet probably
looks like he's going to get milk. He's seen
this jungle. He's been in this jungle. The only
difference now is he's getting a ride instead
of walking. So he's just kind of just ho -hum.
Like, yep, another trip into the death jungle.
Good, good. How is Squigs feeling? Squigs is
honestly kind of indifferent to this. He is not
actually from Strahl. So he is a relatively traveled
for a sage being sent by the administration to
just go places and for whatever reason he keeps
getting the weird bottom of the barrel Tasks
like instead of check all of these scrolls. It's
going to the wooden map woods and map a thing
so he's He's just kind of like resigned. He just
sits down With his head his eyes closed his head
against the back even though I'm sure it's getting
jostled all over the place just kind of He's
not bothering to look at the jungle yet figuring
we have a catachan fighter And it'll be important
to learn about the jungle once the jungle wants
to learn about us Right And he doesn't know enough
about the He wouldn't know enough about the jungle
or the settings to be like, oh shit, there's
some messed up stuff out here. So, kind of the
relaxed of the ignorant. The relaxed of the ignorant,
I like that. Alright. We'll proceed. Everyone
can see the map? Yes. Okay, great. You pull up.
The military base is nestled at the very edge
of a dense, vibrant jungle. The sight of camouflage
-clad soldiers moving purposefully across the
base contrasts with the unruly green tangle of
the tropical vegetation beyond. The perimeter
fence is a stark line separating the ordered
rows of tents and bunkers from the chaotic wilderness
of the jungle. where towering trees rise within
their canopies interwoven like an emerald quilt.
The air is thick with humidity clinging to everything
like an invisible film the unmistakable smell
of damp earth and rich vegetation in from the
jungle mingling with the metallic tang of machinery
diesel fuel and the faint sweet smell of sunblock.
The atmosphere is a strange blend of tension
and routine. The hum of activity is constant.
The trucks are rumbling over the gravel pack,
radios crackle with bursts of static and orders,
and a faint clinging of tools can be heard from
a mechanic working under a harsh light of various
lamps. In the distance, the jungle also seems
alive with its own symphony. A cacophony of cicadas,
frogs, And the occasional shrill cry of an unseen
bird or monkey can be heard in the distance.
So you get up to the gate, and Tenor says, all
right, we're here. Everyone out. Have you been
here before, Tenor? You know everybody at this
camp? Oh, I've been to a few of these before,
not specifically to this one. I'm sure everyone's
friendly. Right, right. Uh oh. You okay? I clicked
a button and my screen exploded. Just one second
technical difficulty. What about our live studio
audience? Marlin, no! No, I'm sorry, please,
everyone hold while everything melts. It has
been reconstituted. You have to make sure you
do your proper rites on the side before you start
pouring. Yeah, the machine spirit was definitely
mad at me. It opened up all your permissions
of every single player and I was like, hmm, I
can delete you guys. Anyway, moving on. I'm sure
they're all nice inside. Oh, that ride was terrible.
Well, I mean, now that we're out, I know I'm
not in charge, but I just want to go over some
general safety tips to make sure you don't get
ate or killed or something untoward happens to
you. So first off, this is the jungle. This isn't
the base anymore. Well, we got this base, but
outside is the jungle. If you hear someone say
your name, know you didn't. You did not hear
it. Do not follow it. That's probably going to
get you ate. Don't go off by yourself, unless
you're me, because that'll probably get you ate.
If you go out at night, make sure you got a fire.
Always have a fire burning, and that'll keep
you from getting ate. But most importantly, y
'all hear me. Y 'all hear what I sound like.
This is my voice. If you hear someone say your
name, No, you didn't You just keep on going don't
don't talk back to it Don't follow it. You just
keep on your business That'll keep you from getting
a Even if it's in your voice, even if it's in
my voice if you hear me say hey Francisco come
out here into the woods and You'd say oh, okay.
I'll do that. Guess what? You just got chubby.
Oh I did not realize Uh, okay. Yeah. Thank you.
Thank you, Chuck. I appreciate that. All right.
If you want to get eight, that's your business.
I'm not going to tell you what to do with your
life. I'm just, I prefer not to get eight when
I walk out the woods. So just giving you a heads
up, friendly, friendly reminder. These, these
woods are crazy and there's all kinds of stuff
in here and weirdness going on. And if you don't
pay attention to it and if you don't respect
it. You're gonna get yourself eight. Thank you.
Yes, not eight is the goal. And Francisco seems
more scared, less relieved from you talking about
this. There are a lot of things that will eat
you out here? Oh, yes. Several things will get
you eight. There are giant wolves. There are
exploding frogs. But, uh, some fool brought from
Ketchikan thinking it was a fun time, but if
it explodes, it will literally kill everything
in a several mile radius. Then there's the ghosts,
there's the haints, and then there's just weird
mountain folk. Woods folk, they go out in the
jungle and they get all weird. You don't want
to mess with them because they will look especially
each end and think it tastes good. Well, I'm
glad you're here then. I'm just saying, if it's
a situation where I get eight, personally, all
of you are gonna get eight right after me. But
you don't want that's worst case scenario is
I get eight. Best case scenario is one of y 'all
get eight first and then I say, okay, well one
of y 'all got eight so now we can adjust our
tactics. Note to self, get eaten second. And
I just pat Francisco on the shoulder. I follow
Tanner to the base. I put out a hand once again
to help Chet down from the monster truck. I told
you I can do it myself. Just don't look at me.
You can do it. That doesn't mean I'm not going
to be polite. Well, you know, I appreciate the
politeness. I appreciate it, but I don't need
assistance getting down from this gigantic machine.
All right. And he hops down like a child. I just
I'm already following Francisco. All right. You
guys make your way to the gate and two soldiers
stop you. And say. Oi! Audis! You got the data
slate? Alright, take out the data slate. And
one of them looks at it, pulls out his data slate
and aims it at it, and pulls it back. Alright.
You three are get inside, collect yourselves,
and then you'll be assigned a quadrant. So here
on the map you'll see the mess hall slash common
area on the top and on the bottom. You have the
headquarter tent, so the soldiers direct you
towards the bottom tent for headquarters. You
guys can move your tokens, right? Yes. Okay.
Inside you see two well -armed... scarred men
arguing as you approach the tent. You can hear
them start getting heated. We just, we just don't
have enough resources to continue pushing this
way. Do you know how many men we've lost already?
We can't keep this up. Listen, orders from the
top are to keep pushing and to find that new
area where we can expand. We're gonna need a
landing zone. We can't keep driving the soldiers
out here. I don't care. The upper brass has no
idea what they're talking about. They've never
been inside. Yeah, but... And he looks over.
Ah! Fresh blood. Yep, that's us. Sounds like
we had a bunch of people get ate. Well... That's
one way to put it. And who might you three be?
Hello, I'm Francisco Torrent. I indicate the
others. Squigs. McShrater. I'm Chet Longbottom
from the Birmingham Longbottoms. Right. Did Sergeant
Busan send you? That's us. Great. We did requisition
six troops, he knows that, right? You three will
have to do just fine. We've been having a little
trouble here, and you've come at a fortuitous
time. The last group of six we just sent out,
well they're in the other, they're in the med
tent right now. Out of commission. So, I'm happier
here that you get to continue where they left
off. What put them out of commission? Oh, you
know, a battery of things. The Krasdan beasts,
the Grimballs, other flying shenanigans. Flying
shenanigans? Yeah, flying shenanigans are probably
the worst of it. kinds of shenanigans you could
run into in the jungle. Oh, yeah. Well, I mean,
you guys know about the Krasdin and the Grimballs.
Don't tell me you don't know about the Rendoken.
I do not know about any of the things you mentioned.
The animals? Chef's just not in his head. You
see him lean over to the other the other soldier
and say, Can you requisition for more? Medical
supplies and he looks back. No, it's fine. You
don't need to know about them Just be safe out
there Do you have any records of what you have
encountered thus far or can you provide any other
information about the area for our safety? Hmm.
Yes, I bet The previous team, their data slate,
I bet they've recorded something. I don't have
it with me, so you might have to ask them where
it is. You go to the medical tent, a couple yards
that way. Talk to Grim. He was the leader. And
if you need anything else, I'm Falmer. Come talk
to me. I'll look up to him, I'll write down...
I'll just look at him like Falmer, while writing
down his name on a sheet without breaking eye
contact. Farmer, how's your mom doing? How's
she doing? I haven't spoken to my mother in quite
a long time. The communication's not good out
here. Why are you asking me such a strange question?
Well, no wait, that's not you. That was another
one that I was talking to the last time I was
out here. Said his mom was making him some pound
cake or some kind of cake. I thought, no, that
was somebody else. That's my fault. I'm sorry.
And I'm sorry about your lack of communication
with your mother. That's sad. You should talk
to your mama. Uh, thanks, uh. He likes struggles.
Chet, right? That's right. Chet Longbottom from
the Birmingham Longbottoms. Right, right. Well,
you three take a little bit to collect yourselves.
I'm sure it was a long drive, and then... You
know you've got orders. We've got orders, so
good luck Thank you Yeah, we're good gives you
the sign of the acquiesce and then he nods his
head and he goes back to arguing with the other
soldier All right, I guess we'll go talk to grim
Yeah, that makes sense to me. We'll go talk to
Grim During all of that They seemed flustered
like How were they flustered because of how fucked
things are how behind schedule they are some
other thing Okay, let's try to roll Was only
fishing for that Now you got a roll first roll
there we go Yeah, I'm pretty good at reading
other people so I want to know We have to get
this done, so I want to know like what will keep
us alive. That's what I'm like You've got it.
You've got an insight. Yes, I do some insight
All right, and then depending on how many successes
I'll reveal more or less information. Okay. Let's
roll. Alright. I have two successes. Good. Two
successes. And a four on the die. On the wrath
die. On the wrath die. Nice. Um, so... You can
tell that things aren't great. Like... the like
now that you've spent a couple minutes ten minutes
kind of wandering around you've spoken to the
leaders and It just everything doesn't look great.
You know everything is run down. You know you
take a look in the back of this tent and like
Clearly where there there's like supposed to
be supplies. It's they're dwindling like The
tent is made for like boxes to be piled pretty
high You can see like drag marks on the floor
where a bunch of crates have been taken out already
And it's Kind of rough and there you can tell
that they're tired they have lots of scars Some
old some fresh so you can you can definitely
commiserate with the everything's not like fucked
beyond belief or If we want to not swear everything's
not bent beyond belief, but It's not gonna be
a walk in the park Okay So they're kind of too
they're kind of pushed towards the edge of what
they're supposed to do and just don't care do
what you have to Right yeah, they're they're
definitely in the do what you have to, you know,
just right away you could tell like they requisitioned
for six additional soldiers, they got three.
So that tracks. All right. And as we're making
our way over the tent, I'll be like, well, it
seems things are not going as well as they could
be here. I think we should. Yeah, that sounds
about right. I mean, you don't respect the rules
of the jungle in the woods. You're going to get
up, you're going to get ate, and you're going
to end up having a bad time. Yeah, you gotta
respect it. You gotta respect it. I don't think
they are respected. Yeah, Chet, you've been to
the jungle out west, right? This is the eastern
jungle. Have you heard anything that's different
here, maybe? Because you guys seem to be doing
a really good job out west. Well, out west, I
would say it's probably about the same as it
is over here. It's just, you know, a lot more
people are getting ate over here. You gotta...
Going west is a lot more trodden. You got a lot
of established stuff back west, so it's more
enforced. There's more troops. Going east is
just like starting all over. You got to basically
start from zero. You got to reset up everything
that you had to kind of get how it is west over
here. They got a long, long, long road to travel.
They want to get it like it is over there. Alright,
I guess that's what we're here for then. But
yeah, if everyone's ready, we'll head to the
tent and we'll go try to find Grimm. So you enter
the field hospital. You can see inside, it is
a large canvas tent. Its edges flapping gently
in the humid breeze. Inside are rows of cots
that are all lined up, each occupied by a soldier
in various states of recovery. The air is thick
with a sense of antiseptic sweat and the ever
-present earthly aroma of the jungle. Occasionally
you hear the soft groaning of different men in
pain and the complaining. You can see various
full hazard bags of bloody bandages. A medic
moves swiftly, but gently in between the cots.
Their uniform is stained with the evidence of
their tireless work. Well, that doesn't look
good. Excuse us, everyone. We're looking for
a Grimm. We're the next guys to explore out east,
looking for the landing zone. On the mention
of the name Grimm, you see a soldier in the furthest
corner. Sit up in bed and turn towards you his
face Bandage pretty heavily on the right side
his arm and legs his right arm and his left leg
are in a sling and he is Trying to lift himself
up to like with his left arm to sit up I'll rush
over and like try to help him Will Chet recognize
any of these guys? I would say that, yes, you
would recognize some of these soldiers are ones
you've worked with in the past and they look
pretty bad. They were not like this when you
left them last. Well, damn, y 'all look like
y 'all got properly messed up going out there.
What's the most Prevalent type of injury to them
for them like the claw you would see like scratches
and claw marks They just look like they were
I mean I can roll Medicaid if you want to No,
I mean you're in a hospital it's pretty evident
that Well, cuz I'm just trying to like assess
them without actually like talking just like
taking assessments an eye assessment if that
makes sense Sure Just without I've already just
yeah It's pretty evident that they that They're
like this their skin wounds look like claws do
something scratch them like it's pretty obvious
Any more detail than that and then you'll have
to roll, okay? Yes, so they just look like they
were clawed up pretty bad or do they look like
superficial yeah No, it's like More tiger less
house cat More tiger less house cat. Absolutely
more tigers and bears Less I ran into a bunch
of thorns. Okay Well, that does not look ideal
Grim sits up His eyes heavy you can see the tireless
bags As he's moving you can hear one of his stitches
pop and it like bleeds a little bit And he's
like, ugh. Who said my name? Private Francisco
Toren, sir. I'm here to venture out and look
for the scouting, or scout out the landing zone
of the jungle. I was told to talk to you about
your, any pauses for a very serious moment. It's
like progress. Oh. I see. A progress report is
what they want. Alright. Another band of misfits
sent out into the meat grinder. Here. This is
how far we made it before we had to turn around.
And he takes out a slate, hands it to you. Download
the information. I'll download it to my data
file. Okay. He looks at Unisys. How old? How
long you been doing this, son? Uh, less than
a year. Yeah, you look fresh. Your eyes are still
bright. Just wait. Just wait until you have the
look like that one over there. Any points towards
Chet? Well now, let's not go - you're calling
me ugly because that's rude. No. Your eyes. I
can see that you've been in the jungle before,
haven't you? Oh yeah, I've spent some time up
in this jungle. I've seen a lot of people - I
spent time out west. You know, I - Seen a lot
of people get ate, seen a lot of people get killed,
stabbed up, shot up, cannibals, those monkey
bats, the big monkey bats, I saw some of them.
Oh, good. Yeah. You know a little bit. But just
know this. Out West isn't out East. I heard you
talking to some of my boys here. They're from
out West. I thought we would have been more prepared.
We lost two of them in the fight. Had to drag
these three bumbos back. It's chaos out there,
boys. What were you fighting? We weren't able
to find a suitable landing zone. Oh. We were
fighting everything. Everything that claws. Everything
that bites. Everything that snatches you away
in the dark. and Chet kind of looks around like
this is what i was talking about you got to respect
the jungle you gotta follow the rules you know
if you're not careful you're gonna get ate that's
what i've been telling them i've been telling
them they're gonna get ate if they don't follow
the rules and respect the jungle you know hopefully
coming from you they might take that with a little
more gravity we'll we'll be careful brim all
right good You've got your information. Let me
get back to sleep All right, I leave them as
I also hand the file over to Squigs because he
seemed very interested in the data file the last
time we got one Yep I'm going to look it over
Yep, you can see the the various paths. They
took where was you know they have a bunch of
bunch of areas crossed off that you know dead
ends they had to turn around not suitable, you
know, you see not suitable for landing and then
you see one area where It's very clear that they
that's probably where they went and they had
to turn around and come back That overlap this
where they look overlap where we're supposed
to head out Yes Okay, perfect so I'll just start
you see me start just going through it with an
auto quail just real quick mapping out on an
actual scroll I'm not going through with the
the data pad and then as I look over I look over
all of that like Well, this should be Interesting
and I'll show you too. I'm not even stepping
into the tan It's like looks like right over
here and I point to where they turned back is
where they had the issue with Whatever toward
them all apart Okay As you're looking over the
data slate and studying what they've done, you
hear in the distance a guttural roar from the
depths of the jungle, followed by the rustling
of leaves and the snapping of branches. You can
see in the tent some soldiers, they freeze. Their
eyes are scanning outside in the treeline. And
without warning, the jungle erupts into chaos.
