Arise millions and welcome to this Unmade Gaming production. Joined the crew of the
Defiant as they journey through the Third Horizon at the Mercy of the Icons,
trying to understand just what's happening to the mystics in this Coriolist campaign. Void,
the show you were about to listen to, was originally a livestream actual
play on twitch dot tv slash onmade Gaming, altered out probably by a rise
minions and welcome to Unmade Gaming. We're here to filter it out, uh
weights and then just yeah, sets people up. I sure do, I
sure do. Welcome to the show. We're back. This is my new
house. You're in it. Welcome. It's now called Smash Kingdom. Uh,
I own it. I was renting the Mountain. Now I own the
Kingdom, so it's a different thing. Anyway, Welcome to the show.
This is episode whatever it is a Void. Here we go, season three.
Oh god, it's been a weekend. I'm exhausted, guys. I'm
just here. I'm here to be a face, uh, to fill a
hole on the screen of boxes. That being said, if you guys like
we do here and you want to suport the chair of the best Play,
do that as our Patreon link for that down below. Also joining our discord
talking about this show, all the other shows, all the other things,
like how cute Nome looks in those headphones and not the tiny pink earbuds that
he thinks likes. Uh. And as always, in the bottom right hand
corner, you will see the corruption bar. That bar serves two purposes.
One is when that bar fills Dot gets over the hell she wants to us.
Usually it's terrifying and horrible. Uh. And two more importantly, every
single dollar that goes into that goes to Phil. Wait, no, what
what goes to Phil? Yeah? Phil? Fill the pockets and wallets of
the wonderful face as you see here before you. Uh So Yeah, if
you want to support the cast, fill that feed Dot's cat. That's wow.
If you don't help Dot feeder cat, how can you go to sleep
at night? That being said, Dot Jewish story, Oh my God,
take us into space the board, guilt top, everybody. We are back.
Before we went live, we were chatting about the event's last episode,
and as much as I could tell them to you, I feel like each
character had their own rather interesting experience. So I'm gonna let the cast popcorn.
What they remember from last episode me in deep shit? Why is that,
Paul? Someone went a knock in and someone was gonna be yeah,
yeah, okay, that's right. At the end, there was a there
was a proverbial space knock at the door over the intercom, and the local
authorities here on this space station that you're parked in are searching for fugitives that
may have escaped the explosion at the nearby prison. But there was a lot
of other things that happened before that not came. Oh well, you know,
we just decided to pass the time while we were refueling with you know,
your basic gin removal, just a deep clean soul. There's you know,
it's one of those things that the crew of the Defiant has to do
regularly because the ship it's you might say, we have a ginfestation. No,
no, I would not say that. I would most not, Philly
not say that. I would this this ship is a bit of a beacon
for the gin, but one in particular has taken housing inside of our dear
Leamara and inside of a jar a container she has resided, and the crew
thought it due time because of its volatility and possible ability of you know,
radioactive explosion to alleviate Lamara of her unwonted guest. Through a daft effort by
a player that's not with us tonight, Alio was able to because they had
nowhere else to put it was able to fill a piece of glass that's now
warped into kind of a or filled with the jin's essence. And then came
a wrap tap tapping at your chamber door. We'll pick up with the sound
of the static of that call over the radio, you will be boarded.
Unlock your doors. I switch over comms and I say we're getting boarded.
They're looking for a few gives, and then I click the unlock button.
Now, remind me where everybody was at. Was Alia with Lamara in med
Bay? That is afterwards? No, she hadn't gotten that far yet.
Yeah, I'm not until sure, I think you. We were all together
and it was just that perfect time Ta left the group because we were saying
we need to go to Coriolis now right now. But we clue because it's
a ninety six percent fueling. As soon as Tal says that, I imagine
Alia perks up a little bit at the term fugitive. That probably comes across
the mouth of everybody. She scoops Lamara up and runs to what you presume
is probably the Med Bay or somewhere to hide. The two of them leaving
Malik schools mirror and tal standing around this black orb on the ground. It's
about ya big a disaster. This room is is turned over Malik's bedroom and
you can hear the buzzing at the door itself, like the attachment to the
main chamber. Yeah, Tallas going to the main door. She was already
on her way there. There was somebody. Yeah, I think Malik is
in the med bay. Yeah it was Malik. Tow and Lamara were in
the mid bay. Yeah, we were having a talk in the med bay.
Everybody else was oh even better, Yeah, even better. So on
my way out. Great, do the two of you leave the Med Bay?
Uh? I think when when she gets when town gets up, Malik
stops, Hey, what are we doing with? Uh? Everyone? Uh
Alia and Lamara should hide together? Why would you Laura hide? She's unconscious.
I guess we can just lay right here. Then? How big is
the holt? Is Is it only two people? Because I mean, isn't
Seul an escaped criminal that we exploded a planet for he was their first dad.
I don't know how I don't know how detailed they get on this figure
it out. I have to go to the front of the ship. People
are coming in. Okay, sure they're supposed to be smart. Okay,
I'm in what I forgot? Where was I was? I? I was
still in that room right with the Okay, then I imagine you see Alia,
because Alli was in there with you, right uh huh. With this
ORB, she kind of looks at I imagine she looks at you, and
then she kind of bolts to hide because Ali is a legit fugitive and takes
the ORB with her cool suon, Yes, come with me, And Tamir
looks like a kid who has like a Regano in a pouch, but still
knows that like Mom's gonna search the room and be really upset and not like
understand that it's not his oregano, and so he is grabbing soul. It
just dragging him to the smugglers hole. I shifts some stuff over patches in
the little coat mode, undoes whatever blocking mechanism is there, flips up the
panel and it just like tugs its soul. I hold myself. What you
what are you doing? You need to get in there now? Why you
are a fugitive? Soon? I was put in there because they thought I
was someone else. You are still soon they of a piece of shit.
Yeah, but that piece of shits bye bye. It's not my fault.
And for all they know, I had nothing to do with the explosion.
What do I have to hide for? All encompasses, All of my misdeemers
were never actually tracked, so realistically, I was never really charged with anything
bad. Otherwise I'd be a bad assassin. Empty search the ship and they
find me in the hole, and guess what, that's when they're gonna start
searching for me. And that's when they're gonna find out that I killed one
hundred and ninety seven people for no reason. Camera cuts on those words to
Tao, who makes it to the front of the ship. There's another hy
unlock. There stands definitely a colonial like marshall, like nicely padded armor behind
two less padded. Probably more mercenaries out here, but they do wear official
like badging on whatever kind of jumpsuit they wear, and they carry guns.
And this man seems quaint and rather middle aged actually, and tired, and
he says, I'm sorry to bother you, ma'am. I know you are
fueling and almost ready to go. But we just got a mandatory order from
Corialists. It seems that there was an outbreak at a nearby prison, and
we are to search every vessel for fugitives, retinal scans included. All right,
if you have to just dredging for metals and artifacts here, it's a
dangerous business out there. And he kind of, you know, gestures out
the window. You'd be better off searching elsewhere. The only thing to actually
dig up with any value is probably not something you want to toy with.
I've seen many a pirate not come back. Well, I have a patron
who likes artifacts. It's worth it for me, so be it. Who
am I to judge a pirate's life. And he kind of pushes past you,
looks around. He says, oh right, as if they all say
that, he says, he kind of points to one. He goes down
there, Search all the rooms down there, Search all the rooms. When
you're done, run right, no skins on everybody you find. I just
kind of stand there, stand there by the door, I lean up against
the wall and just cross my arms, paying attention to what they're doing.
Great. Uh, he sits with you. He does. He's not here
for the grunt word. That's why he's got the two guys are living.
He has a seat with you, and he says, are you the captain?
Yes, it's a nice ship. Take care of it, much better
than other pirate ships I've been on. Not a pirate, just a f
Yeah, I'm sorry, Mike h I'm gonna have to ignore your chatter for
a minute because I know that already. And he says, well, you,
uh came out here for junk. Did you find anything? Yeah?
I had to space it. You came all the way here to space your
junk. It's illegal to dump into system. No, I still have what
I really came here for. Well no, but I really came here for
is artifacts, hoping I can find one. Ancient artifacts good lucky every once
in a while. So you did find something? Yeah, what is it?
You gotta leans in with a little bit of of of off the book's
interest, to be honest. As soon as we started looking at it,
shadows started moving funny and the door opened. The idol. He kind of
nods. One of those things that keep pirates from coming back. Well,
we got some metals while we were here, so it wasn't a wasted trip.
Well, I'm glad to hear it. You didn't happen to pass by
through the asteroid field, did you, I, as a player cannot remember
at the moment if we actually did or not. You had to to get
sold because the prison was in the asteroid built gotcha? Uh and met asoids?
Yes, I I know. Hold on, I'm asking questions for myself
because how would know how to answer this and everything like that. I want
to make sure I have the same knowledge as her. Would we get through
the portal and to get to the portal station, would we have had to
go through that? Or is it like definitely out of the way and then
coming back the prison is definitely out of the way and was probably well hidden,
Like you need to know where it is, but it is in the
asteroid belt. You get the idea or the feeling towel that he's pumping you
for information. Yeah, he's trying to see if you've passed through there.
Are you guilty? While keeping his cool? Yeah, how would say in
response to that, Well, we make a couple of passes nearby because it's
always worth trying to get some metal off the edges. But I wouldn't want
to go too far into that. Never know what you're gonna find there that's
not worth it, he says. So you travel all the way out here
from Coriolis. Most of our junkers are within the surrounding systems. Like I
said, artifacts, Well, I'm sorry that you found a both priceless and
worthless one. Sometimes you get lucky, sometimes you don't. Said i'd call
you lucky. You're the only I've only met one other pirate who survived the
idol. His mind was not as uh strong as yours. He stands.
He says, well, I guess I should assure that are well. The
mercenaries are doing their jobs. Yes, he says, oh, I almost
forgot, And he pulls back his wrist and you can see he's got like
a thing on it, and he kind of boom boops into it, and
he cocks his wrist and when it does, a green light like beams out
of it, narrow and long, and he points it right into your eyes
and it z and it scans your eyes real fast. Information pops up Tuma.
Booooooo. Respectable job as your parents have You're out here a junker.
I bet they're proud. And he kind of pulls his arm down and like
zips it up, and he stands and he says, well, everything here
looks normal, and he heads down the hallway. The camera cuts from Rewins
just actually does tell say anything as he walks off. No, okay,
I always want to make sure because Tow is his. No, she doesn't
need to Tol knows what she's done. She doesn't need approval of this,
dude. I love it. And he heads off. The camera customary winds
just a little bit. I think we're gonna start with Malik. Uh huh
yeah, uh huh? Is that what you look like? Is he the
doors open to the mid bay. No, I think how long has it
been since Tale left? Like, only like less than five minutes between then
and now? Less than yeah, I would say about five minutes or so.
Yeah, I think he is. Uh, he is tending to Lamara
when the doors open. Uh, there's a like I said, mercenary right
jumped suit belt has some kind official badge but doesn't seem to be in a
uniform per se. There's dropped with some kind of large weapon in hands.
Like an automatic rifle of some kind. And this he can't be more than
like twenty or twenty one. He's kind of a young dude, square jaw.
He looks very official, or he tries to look very official, and
he says, I'm here to scan your eyes. Can you hand me that
right there, the syringe, the red one next to the left, the
left left. I'm I mean, sir, would you You have to walk
here, so just grab it and bring it on your way, please,
just on your way over here to scan whatever you gotta scan, just bring
it over here. If you can't see the person who's unconscious, uh used
the role manipulation, You're so gonna have to roll for this? Yes,
let's see take off? Is that what it is? If not? I
mean he's he's being dead serious. He just is Malik who is kind of
an asshole and who doesn't really respect you to do a specific thing, not
to help you save yours. That's fine, friend, that's fine. Yeah,
roll manipulation, manipulation. Do I have anything that would help me?
No? I don't, okay, so but how one okay? Okay?
He he kind of stops, he's like and he lets one hand off and
he kind of he doesn't move, he doesn't move his feet, but he
kind of like reaches keeping his eyes on you, and he grabs the syringe.
Andy, he passes it to you over Lamara's body and he takes it
and he like pops the thing off and like puts it into the ivy bag.
Well, scan away, I clearly am in the middle of something and
he's like injecting it into like the ivy bag. Is she okay, No,
she's just strapped down to the table for funzies. You're in a med
bay, You're in a trauma lab, right, I'm gonna need to scan
her eyes too. Does it matter if you can see the pupils or not,
because they're kind of rolled back in her head right now because of the
whole being unconscious thing. Uh well, I could, I could take a
fingerprint, but that's not usually standard. It takes I mean, I can
pull her eyelids forward and then you can hope for the best or because like,
okay, we'll just start with you. And he kind of he kind
of you know, the gun hangs as he lets go and he pulls his
ame. He be boots the same machine on his arm cox his wrist down
and he beams this this this green light across your eyes. Now, Malik,
yes, are your files clean? It depends who's asking dot? Okay,
let me let me rephrase that question. It depends I guess who he
works for. Have you altered your personal files in the past to make yourself
look less criminal? I guess the question goes back to you. Not to
be argumentative. Has has Malik been caught so so far? To his knowledge?
I don't think as at least what we put forth in in in play,
he has. Nothing has been traced back to him as far as hacks
go. Okay, I'm gonna have you then roll in data gen okay,
to see how strong the security is around your personal file. Do I get
a bonus for my computer or just a straight data gen? No? This
is just this is past data gen like past Maleak, How did he do?
Man, He's gonna give you a darkness point Dot. There's no way.
There's no way. I'm not gonna re roll that. Uh not with
his record? Who's gonna say? Yeah? It is critical? Said back
again, baby, That's why his record's clean because he's never been curled.
And it's true. And he looks at there's only one criminal assade here,
this clean record. Say what is your what's my reputation? Oh fuck?
Oh my patient? Say my reputation zero. I'm trying to keep that he
works for space By. Okay, anything else noteworthy on your file, because
pick it up. No, I think that the only like, how in
depth would the file be? Is it like what you like your your your
Ellis Islands papers kind of thing? That he was a transplant from al Goole,
both parents deceased. It would list his brother, Tamir Alisod. It
would list that his probably that his his only family tie is Tamir Alisad,
who is a college a graduate of whatever telemetry college of Coriolis or whatever the
hell it's called. He goes, uh, I see, I know you're
busy with the unconscious patient. Yeah, but your file says that you work
for I can't read the file. So, so who do you work for
currently or in the past? Now tell Tuma the captain of the Defiant.
But your file says that you're currently I still can't read the file. Employed,
You're you're employed space By. Yeah, that's why that's where I worked
on Coriolis before I took a job here. In the ship. Well,
your official paperwork clearly didn't go through, sir, because you haven't actually become
unemployed by space Buys. So I have to technically report that you didn't file
appropriate paperwork. Oh okay, well, then as soon as we get back
to Coriolis, I will file that paperwork must have been lost in the mail,
sir. Actually, I have to detain you until those files are complete.
You can roll a manipulation if you'd like to try to maybe convince him
otherwise, But the fucking a justice system is this. Yeah, you haven't
been to work in like months? She did PaperWorks? Actually? Can I
can? I? Can I double check that paperwork real quick? If you
don't mind, Just on the data pad right here, I, why don't
you you you can look at my screen? Sure do you mind? And
he like puts his hands out to touch the screen. Uh, just keep
your distance, sir. I can't look at the file just okay, Uh,
this is uh quickly, sir, this is it gets protocol. Okay,
just real quick? Here? Uh, doc, can I roll datage
into pull up the correct files? Yeah, and see and see if he's
wrong trying to trick him? Okay, yeah, Uh, let's see.
Let's see. Let's see how many doctor's points I have to give dot tonight
none success, pretty good, very quickly changed. You actually excuse me?
Please? I told you doesn't touch me, sir, Please let me just
let it go. Pops his hand free of it. He looks back at
it. File it that one. Wait a second, No, that was
like a second ago. It discharged. I think you just I think you
read the line below it civil mistake. It happens with screen readers. Just
it's the line right there. Okay, sir, just stop speaking. Sir,
you're making me nervous. Grabs his gun again. You're the one listen,
and he says, no, I have to scan her eyes. You
can try, and he like lifts her eyelids to reveal the whites of her
eyes. Right. He says, okay, how about just a and he
grabs her hand and he scans her thumb. He puts her thumb on the
like on the screen, and the bar starts moving. It takes significantly longer
than the retinal scan. He kind of looks at you in silence while he
like watches the bar and he's like, sorry, it just takes longer.
He knows it's Okay, I work at Space, but I get it.
I get these calls all the time. Uh well, I thought I thought
you aren't working at Space by any Yeah, but I worked there for three
years. That says are right there on the Yeah, I saw the file,
sir, Well, I saw the file. Well, and oh,
okay, let's see maar sure, sergeant. Yeah, Uh she's right your
uh malik, that's her her guardian, that is correct. Hence did she
leave Coriolis this way? No? I see here that she was healthy when
she was checked out a few months ago? Was a few months ago?
I mean a year ago? Oh it wasn't her right? Uh yeah,
that's that is what happens a lot and change in the course of a year.
I guess. So, uh, what's wrong with her? Exactly?
Current? Your guess is as good as ours. We have a trauma lab,
but you know, the uh services here in Autacon aren't as great.
Do you have a great med lab on the autocon station or do you just
have a system invested with pirates? We're trying to jump back to Coriolas to
find it. Guess it is a strong term, sir. Okay, Well,
and they attack your ship. It's not Okay, sir, what's the
situation? What's behind that door right there? Dot? What door is there?
There's a door behind you out the other side of the med lab that
leads to an airlock. Uh is it just an airlock? As far as
I'm aware, that's literally yeah, if you look at if you look at
roll twenty, yeah, I actually have a map of it. I'll I'll
try to ping it for you. I've tried this before, but it doesn't
always work. Oh wait, do I have it on the where's our basics?
Yes? Hang on, hang on, I can bring it all over.
Yeah yeah, yeah, okay, hang on, I got this.
I can roll A twenty. But there is your m first level and you're
here in the mid bay. Yep, there's he's talking about this this back
this door here that leads to this airlock. Okay, and I know nothing's
back there, look side the airlock as far as I know, as far
as you know, uh, space, I'm sorry. Oh oh oh,
well, I'm gonna have to check that, okay. Uh. He goes
over and like hits the button and the first door so opening. He kind
of looks around at the shallow hole and caes there's a door on the other
side, and he steps in and the door behind him because it's well,
it's an airlock. And he goes over and you just barely hear the sound
of the other interior door opening to the other side, which you know actually
leads to the air sealed room where the airlock drops out into space. That
door opens, and he goes into the airlock chamber. Uh, and he
kind of walks around here his boots a little bit, just barely. Uh.
Yeah, you know what I do, DOT, I'm gonna lock the
door, but like you know what I'll give you. I would like to
roll for it. I'd like to lock the door in a way that doesn't
seem like it's like locked, like it's like a malfunction. It's a malfunction.
OK. This is a data gen roll. But I have the ship.
I set Mike up for this. I want you to know that I
know you did one success. Okay, you hear you hear this first door
that leads back into this small circular chamber click open, and then you're you
hear a very mufflopehs that and then you hear like, excuse me, with
the door didn't opening? Here is it again? It's ever since. We're
gonna take my patents and your system a second. It a second, and
he's gonna hit the uh he's gonna hit the columns again. Okay, Jesus
Christ, somebody right now. And this guy, this guy's like, oh,
uh sir, this this door, it seems to be malfunctioning. Uh
at tel the the the forward air luck, the one a bed day,
it's it's acting up again. It's it's locked one of the uh I don't
know, bashed mercenaries in the thing. Can you can you hit that from
your end? I can't seem to get it on my end here in the
drama app? Yeah, miss, miss mister. Do you hear a random
voice now over the colmns? Yeah? Yeah? Is this a a quick
fix or you should probably maybe? Uh let uh can't you just like override
this or something? Yeah? No, I'm trying to hear from my end.
It's not it's not. And he's he's literally just like touching the wall
near the data pad. Yeah no, I'm it might the captain might have
to get it. We'll get you as soon as possible. I'll stay right
here with you. I'll stop pressing the buttons. I'll try let me try.
Okay, yeah, you try. I'm gonna try. I imagine this
is the space equivalent dot to Like when you get in your car and you
go to unlock and your significant other pulls the handle. That's exactly what.
No, just let go of the If you don't, let's stop. You
have to stop pressing the buttons so that I can press the button. No,
no, you let just put the password the password? Is that how
this storm works? Not that I know. I don't have a password.
You don't have the password? No, I don't. I don't have any
pap We don't have passwords. Well, is there like a code or something?
Not that I know of, I haven't. Ever, there's like a
long silence on the other end of the store as this young boy contemplates fact
he's not locked in an air lock accidentally just for doing his job. Is
so mean, Mike. To be fair, that message was broadcast from Malik
to Towel across the whole ship, and he's trying to buy time for everyone
else to get in a Heidi hole. So you all heard that I have
accidentally locked one of the mercenaries in a fucking air lock hole. The camera
cuts and rewinds to mirror and sewel in the hallway, arguing about Seuel getting
into this this Heidi hole. The sound of boots begin down the hallway.
Oh okay, fucking I'll get in. Roll an infiltration or yeah, roll
in infiltration. Let's see how well you actually hide? Am I all infiltrations?
Give us that sweet weeet. I'm gonna give you. I'm gonna give
you a darkness point here dot. Okay, I need to I gotta actually
put these on. Okay, this is like the one skill I'm supposed to
be good at. So this is true. I've not been rolling well tonight.
Okay, who's not? I vanish I don't even exists anymore. Yeah,
all right, So here's how this goes down. Soul slips in as
if he is like built for this. You put the like grating piece back
on uh tamr just in time for the guy to round the corner, and
he goes, sir, A stand up, please, sir? Yes,
how can I help you? I'm here to search the ship. We're looking
for fugitives. No future. This here, just us the crew that they
defined. God damn it, Mike, I'm gonna need you to roll a
manipulation, becau, because that's a lie. There are many fugitives here,
No fugitives here, sir. Don't crack a smile when you say it.
No, oh god, I don't have manipulation. So is that wights or
empathy? It's just it's just empathy. Then to lie, Hey, dot
I have yes, I'll go ahead. First he buys it, uh,
and he says, okay, well what are you what are you doing?
He just says, okay, uh, just inventory where right here? Kind
of looks around, you're kind of are you here? How about this?
You tell me? Is it in the cargo bay the Heidi hole? I
think I thought it was in the cargo bay. Perfect, That's all I
needed to know. Yep, that's great. H So he says, he
kind of looks around and he goes, okay, it looks like junk.
Well, how do you inventory junk? This is not junk. This is
this is what fuels our ship. This is what puts food. I have
to do a retinal scan. You don't need to do a retinal scan.
Let's let me show here. Come here, let me show you this is
I have to do a retinal scan, sir it's part of the search of
this vessel. Yes, Paul, I have a question. That's not to
go to the bathroom as they're having a conversation. Am I am I allowed
to be boop my recontroid? Sure you world with three critical success, So
I would say, yes, Okay, I don't know how long it's going
to take him to get to where NOM is, but I'd like to be
boop him to uh make his way over to no Miss. But I don't
know how long it's gonna take. So you do it as you please with
that and then let me know when he gets there. All right, you're
having to drive this thing? Yes, I'm like, this is a piloting.
I imagine you are crammed in an air duct what this and you're James
Bond piloting. You're drone from your wrist pad, so you have to roll
a pilot on this thing. Oh balls, Okay, it'll get there.
It's just depending on like how well it gets there goes my ship. Okay,
don't just an agility then just anuer. Sorry, I've been playing this
for three years. Okay, on it's it is a little slow. You
can get there faster, but you may get found out, or you can
get there slower but not be found out. Can I go at the normal
rate? Is it just either faster or slower. Yeah, in this case,
because it's a limited success instead of a full I'll go slower. Okay.
Yeah, you're like you kind of take your time. You're you're moving
down the hallway like across the mess space, like real low to the ground.
Uh, you know what, come on to mirror. You can roll
a observation. Oh okay, that's one. Okay, a success. Great.
You hear a small like noise for him. It just sounds like probably
sounds the vessel, but you know that to be the drone. It seems
to be coming from behind you. You're just kind of takes a slow deeper.
I've been more than happy to unless you scan my right in us.
But may I please see your warrant? Uh? Sir, we are working
under strict orders from Coriolis UH to search every vessel in this sector. Yes,
but you usually are provided with a warrant under Jurisdiction seven nine to two
point four. I am allowed to see that before I am allowed to give
away personal identifying information. I would like to see your warrant, please,
uh, and said to mere like takes out the spirit glasses and puts them
on, eager to read read everything that's happening around. Well, no,
no, no, no, no, no, just it's just like they're
reading glasses. Oh I see, yeah, just kind of slips them all
like they're gonna be your reading glasses. Got it? Okay? He says,
uh uh, that's I need a manipulation check to see if he believes
you it's real. There's gotta be is it? Is it really? Okay?
Okay, okay, arguing all right, here's what I'll say. Then
here's what I'll say. Then I'm gonna take a wits roll this wits role
will assure that this is true, that you didn't miss a fact of the
code of what he actually needs as a warrant. Are you training culture culture
specially? So just roll a flat wits, which I think is good for
you. Typically Yes, okay, yes, you didn't miss a beat.
You're not sure if that's exactly how it works, but you're pretty sure that's
how it works. And he goes yep, okay, but like I'm not
the captain as it, Thank you chat for that corruption bar chat. He
goes, well, in fact, I do have a warrant right here,
okay, And he pulls one out and he like folds it open. Well,
I guess he pulls it out. He pulls out a data pad or
some kind of pad that like shows the warrant. He says, this one
is official, it has may I please, can I say this please?
Uh? He kind of passes it over because but it's official, so you
have to sort of allow me to do a retinal scan. I will determine
that once I actually fully properly read it to make sure that this is under
your jurisdiction in our spaceship. So well, you know, if you're not
uncomfortable with me running the retinal scan, I can take you to my captain.
Maybe I'm not comfortable with you running, Yes, I would like to
see your supervisor please, He looks taken aback. Okay, look, this
is space fine, so cazars are unportant there would keep us alive. And
if this is how your operation is running, I'm just immersed. I'm not.
This is not my operation. It's captain's off. Look, just come
with me, and he like takes the data pad back, puts it back
in his bag, and he picks the you know, kind of gun up
off of his side, and he nudges you a little bit to like move
forward. As as he does that to me,'re just kind of like
slyly taps at you know, his button head so that he could shut up
Mike. Uh so he can talk to uh Malik through comms without saying anything
lack, I need you. Oh you know what about this time you say,
Malik, I need your out, And about this time you hear your
brother come over the colms along with another voice you don't know, maybe another
military person personnel that the somebody's been locked in the airlock and it's malfunctioning and
towel has been requested to come out. The timing is too perfect. Uh,
I need your health the air locks. One of the guys is now
okay, so what does your name? By the way, and like Tamir
pulls out his own data pads so he could just like start taking down this
guy's information. He is like shifting the glasses trying to get I need you
to put the data pad away and go straight to the captain. Sir,
please down the data pats. I am the engine. That path is here.
I am the engineer of this year. I cannot confirm him because you
will not let me retinal scan, sir, because you before you're not would
with this. But I'm actually afraid that it might space. The young kid.
He stops. He you know that. He says fine, and he
bumps you and kind of pushes you into the messhole where you see Taou.
The captain and all of you have heard kind of this going on. The
guy says, what's going on here? I need to go make sure that
you're what is your name? My name is hang on, it's a beer.
Just bolts for the for the lock. The captain looks at Tao.
Then he looks at his other guard, and he says, follow him.
If he's not had a retinal scan, keep your eyes on him. I
think there's two codes, but I remember which one is the door and which
one might be the airlock itself. I'm coming. You told me there wasn't
a pass code. I just remembered that there might be one, and I
can't remember which one to just tell it to me. But if I give
you the wrong one and it airlocks, you know what. I'll give you
the codes, both of them, and then you can decide which one to
put in that way, if the airlock opens and you get sucked out,
it's on you and not me. Is that I'm not supposed to get sucked
up. You can't do that. No, no, no, no,
no no no. I'm normal air lock. I'm just gonna keep you the
codes and if you want to put the pass codes? What are the four
digit codes? I have two. One of them I'm pretty sure opens the
airlock. Do you want them both? Yes, sir? Okay, I
mean one of them, sir stopped talking. One of them is one one
one one and the other one is one one one two. One of them
I'm sure opens the airlock too. Most secure spaceship in the world, first
in walks. Malif made those just now. Tamir followed, I'm guessing by
Tao and the captain. Do you follow Tamir to the med Baby and the
airlock, and Tow was on her way because she was paged by Malik.
It's true, so that all of you head there at this point and a
ride at the door just in time to catch Elite giving the pass code one
on one and then one one one two. But I'm pretty sure that one
of them opens the air lock. Oh, the captain's here, Hold on,
don't don't no, no, no, no, no, no no,
don't type it. Don't type it. Our engineers here, he can
get you out. Oh oh, price, price, just in case,
hold your breath. What what to me? Yes, he got in and
the damage we sustained from the pirates the what were they the vultures or something
they that shot our ship. The door is jammed again and he's stuck in
the well. The cody isn't going to do anything about it. Let me
look, I I'm going to need to actually get into these panels. Just
hang on, excuse me, Try not to waste too much air. Just
you would be okay, I will get it. I'm gonna run out of
air. Oh, that's right. It's separated from them. It's it's yeah,
you should be fine. There's probably how lock has he been in him?
Like ten minutes, ten minutes, about seven minutes. You're it's fine,
you'll be the he is going on here. I don't know if you
can see this, but you're a young mercenary here locked himself in the airlock
and we're trying to get him out of the ship. We sustained damage from
the pirates in your sector. Are you're a manipulation for lying to him?
I mean, I mean, technically, dot he is locked in the airlock,
and we did sustain damage from did not lock himself in the airlock.
Locked him in the airlock. See, this is the thing, too many
words. I mean locked him in. I mean, okay, yo,
I'm gonna have to get a Coca cola out of the mini fridge for this
episode because fucking critical success. All right, all right, okay, all
right, he goes. He goes, well, they are just mercenaries.
I guess they're not the brightest crew. The other guy that's been tailing to
Meir kind of looks a little saddened by that statement, and he says,
well, sir, what is your name? He looks right at Timir.
You do have a name, Tamir. Tamir who Tamir Alasad, Tamir Alissade.
Thank you, Tamir Alissade for getting my officer out of such a pickle.
Yes, you mean you're weeping on the other side of the door through
the calms. This just I need to take off this panel and said,
okay, if I take the panel off, I need to what is going
on here, and he gestions to He gestures to Lamara. He doesn't care
about the panel. He at a critical success. He genuinely believes this asshole
and the door is like malfunctioning. He trapped himself in there. He genuinely
believes that it's to put it short, it's been a very long twenty four
hours. Let me get a crew. Doctor was injured. And the scuffle
that just happened with the idol, I understand unfortunate. Kind of looks her
up and down. Honestly, we just want to get to Coriolis, who
yeah, right to sell you're drunk. Yeah, we would also like our
doctor to you know, see it doctor. That seems reasonable. He kind
of looks her up and down. She doesn't look well fed or she looks
kind of thin to be a doctor. But she wears official jacket. Kind
of looks at her metal like tattered and worn and like torn and those kind
of things. It is an official like doctor's jacket of the consortium. He
said. It seems odd. She must have left a very important job to
come out here with all of you. Tamir, roll me a technology.
Please remove this panel and fake it till you make it we might not just
be faking it, we might be sabotaging. Are you gonna Are you gonna
vent this? Dude? Look look I messaged Mike and Mike said I'm not
opposed, So yeah, so touch Okay, I still need you to roll
the technology fake it. If we learned one thing in three seasons is don't
back the alisades into a corner. God, shit gets blonky. Okay,
I need more coffee. I need to take a break. I need a
monster. I gotta rethink my life. Okay, at a one technology,
you take the panel off and you're just kind of fusing. That's what it
looks like, like you're messing with stuff. It seems believable to anybody that
doesn't know anything about what's going on behind that panel. And he simply again
looks at how and ask that question again. She must have given up quite
a lot to be out here in the middle of nowhere with all of you.
Well, what can I say? My crew is a family, right,
He kind of looks at the guy who's been tailing to Tamir and looks
over to Tamir, Well, what is the verdict? Oh, I just
need to u I'm not sometimes it's it's a bit of a bit shaking every
once in a while, and Tamir is as he's like just literally fumbling with
wires and definitely like unplugging things and like shifting them around, but he knows
what they would do and it's nothing. Maybe he's like turning like the microwave
light on and off. Yeah, like there's some flashic different part. Well,
how long are we looking at? He still has his colms on.
I would like, Uh, Tamir is just you know in internally, uh
sally shut down the ship, please cut power? Of course. Oh ship
goes dark yellow. Caution lights around the floor begin flinging the uh there's a
super sparks explode. The generator kicks on to keep Lamara's medical machine beeping and
dripping to her. The camera cuts to sewel so, where does the uh
little uh droid head? Where does your your He's been following them behind He's
basically on the He's on the ground being a roomba and just pretend I'm just
following up Pat. Okay, So I'm going to okay, you see this
entire conversation going down from floor level in the bed bay from your Heidi hole.
They are on the opposite side of the ship from you. What do
you do? I feel like I should just stay in the hole. You
stay in the hole, and then all of a sudden all the lights go
out. The son of a bitch, please please someone draw fan art of
this of this scene in the fucking airlog and then just like a small like
comic style window of Sewel in the dark with popcorn just eating it, watching
his fucking row. But does the yes. Since I'm watching and I have
a vision, I mean, I'm just gonna be like, what the fuck
is going on? Is a Heidi hole connected to ten events or is just
a straight up hole? I would say there's some vent connectivity, Okay,
I would probably try to go through the vent and just kind of like maneuver
my way further away from them inflation, Oh bossucky to just make sure you
get where you're going. You don't get stuck, you don't drop anything,
you don't make a bunch of noise. I also imagine, like when I'm
just sitting in the hole as Tamir's fucking with wires, he's just turning on
a light on an offense, like blinking next to your head. Or something.
What the fuck is this infiltration? Okay, a limited success. You
move. It's not not terribly quiet, but the good news is there on
the other side of the ship, so there's no way that they can hear
it. Where are you headed? I think I'm just trying to like get
away. I'm not don't want to leave the events, but I want to
see if I can get like a vantage point of just like can I crawl
on top of the vents, like on the top part of the air vents
and like kind of be over them. I'm you crawl in and you peer
through a very small ventilation like chamber or like like air slats or whatever that
look down into the medway and you're now you've got the picture from the floor
into the room, from the door on your wrist, from the droid and
then or from the drone, and you've got an aerial perspective looking down at
them from about ten feet up here in the medical bay. Okay, question
do they have any would they have arrived on any vehicles or anything when they
know you're docked to this station? They walked here? Oh boss? Okay,
all right, yeah, I'm I'm just chilling. I mean, is
back inside. The lights are out. What is everybody doing panicking over my
patient? You can roll a medice medic medic I mean she's I know she's
fine because the ship has a backup generator. Yeah, so I'll give you
a manipulation if you want. Yeah, that that's what I needed. Isicking.
Let's see here, god zero, no success, he goes. He
goes, Man, calm down, this is no time for I'm not a
doctor. I'm not a doctor. She's the doctor, he goes clearly,
and he looks around, and he goes, what is going on here?
He looks right at Taw this time. Honestly, we're trying to refuel so
we can get back to Coreolis and get our doctor looked at. He looks
around. He goes, well, without any power to the vessel, with
my hired mercenary locked on the other side of your air luck, and without
having retinal scanned everyone on this vessel, we're not going anywhere obviously. Now.
As long as my engineer can get the ship back up, then we'll
be hopefully fixing all of that. He spits a little bit. I try
to catch t mirrors. I like roll a command roll How you got this
you got this, you got this? Go oh gosh, okay, he
goes. He goes, all right, captain, it is your ship.
I'll give you twenty minutes to diagnose the problem. And he says, and
if he is not out in thirty, I'll bring a welding torch and cut
him out myself. Great, that's just what my ship needs. One more
hole from the system, he says, I'll wait in mess. Yeah.
He grabs his soul and drags them out, so all of you have some
space. Yeah. As soon as I said that, I immediately start walking
over to Tamir and I get on my knees next to him, like,
I just look at him like I'm gonna fuck any bunch you. This ship
is fine. I just sat sally. Power down doesn't help anything. Get
them off the ship? Now? How do we get them off the ship?
Back up? Let him out? Leak? Are you whispering? The
doors closed the people to hear I'm I'm whispering just loud enough so that Tamir
can hear me. I'm tal Is. Timir would know. Tal is furious
right now. She wants nothing more than for these men to get off the
ship, and you are keeping them here the mess holes on the second deck.
Oka record, fix my record? Yeah, that's what I was gonna
ask. Is everyone else safe? Yes? Okay, great? Uh and
he pulls out his tablet and look wires into the ship and he's just gonnadly
do through and and uh clean up as best he can at least this sector's
like uh like version of the record. Yeah, okay, roll it down
as Yes, I assume, like I assume that the the what do you
call it? The station has access to the what the hell's the main computer
called on Coriolis? You know what we're talking about, the main computer.
But I assume, yes, bears have like a downloaded they're not like directly
connected to the main frame. So I'm gonna do my best. Let's see
here, Yeah, our computer and we have some to gin bullshit? Uh
pal, how about that? How do you like me? Now? If
everyone's wondering, that's why I get saved from a junk planet. Dude,
I don't understand your roles anything else so much. Okay, here's what goes
down. You don't just you don't just alter your files, you alter their
record of having I scanned all the people on this vessel, perfect so that
they don't ask for it again. You know, Donald not to be greedy,
but with fucking five can I can I maleak this up and in the
process download all their eye scans of everybody they've I scanned on since being on
the station since however long you want to go back in time, I would
say for all your all your downloading are like who they've I scanned for this
search over the last like hour, because this is how long the search has
been going on. Sure you download two things, all of that data that
of people they've ICE scanned, and you download the warrant of search on every
portal station across the third horizon. Hmm okay this Uh, they seem to
be underplaying how actually important this is and what a big deal this is.
Having that prison well you know what you did? Yeah? Is that what
this ties back to from from like scrolling through quickly with it directly that they
are wanting to search this area heavily because they believe there are fugitives. They
have some on board this station. They're holding them here and they're going to
be picked up. So they already have some survivors from the prison that escaped.
Is this so this warrant went out like an APB to all stations.
Right, is there like a a green check mark as like this ship's already
been scanned. It's good. It doesn't need to get stand to the next
station. Yes, yeah, like that's that's what you're all. Your eye
scanned, This vessel has been cleared to move without having to be searched.
Together. You would just they would they would scan you know, whatever the
ship's like bar code is or or a vessel vessel code or would be cleared.
So that's that is what you have managed to accomplish with this role,
so that your brother doesn't need to have his eye scanned and they probably won't
search search the ship anymore. But while this goes down, our camera cuts
to sew them. Oh way, I'm just an event. Come on see
them. You were crawling around. You saw your friends, and then the
captain and the armed guy leave. Okay, they went to the floor above
you. You can hear their feet on the floor above where you're this air
duct're kind of sitting on right rolling observation. Okay. Two, you can
hear them talking. Uh, the guy that's in charging to be significantly more
serious now, maybe even crawl down and find the vent where it's like open
up to their feet. And as you stand up your full weight and we
can just see your eyes over the vent. You can hear them talking and
the commando here he goes. He says, well, the ship looks pretty
clean to me. As long as we finish the eye scans, we should
be all right. Uh. The uh rest of the prisoners that survived the
explosion, they're gonna have to wait here a few days. We're gonna need
to find rations for them. Sir. I don't know what we're gonna get
those, sir. He goes, well, it doesn't matter. And that
big one, the brute, you know, he's gonna eat a lot.
And he goes, you mean the one with a funny accent. Yeah,
okay, ok uh, he goes. We'll have a seat. Can can't
go anywhere till they fix this ship problem. My drone is like roombling behind
the med bay, right. Yeah, am I able to send like a
digital message on this display board so they can see it. Who's in there
can roll an observation because you haven't actually made the room. But Gnome,
it's just kind of like he's just doing his thing, it's just like hovering
there, trying to stay unseen. That was his goal. So let's see
if they see the the message observation. What if I have my roomba bumps
Towel's leg. Okay, you down, towel, you see the roomba,
What message do you send across you have limited Oh my god, you hear
it. You are fuck you, Mike, fuck you. That's what the
front of that fucking droid says. Okay, so I assume my screen is
probably not that big, so it probably feel like a short message. It's
just gonna say, won't leave finish eye get neat, Uh, hurry the
fuck up, hurry the f up goes boo doo do do do do do
do doo. At the end, it says critical Mike sucking sucks do do
Uh. Tal just looks at the room and goes, yeah, I know
you see it from across the space, Mike or uh Malik the roomba that's
at Towel's feet. Yeah, he does how flick it off? Yeah he
doesn't ignore it. I mean, so he does ignore it. He's he's
he's busy hacking the planet. Oh sorry, he's hacking the world. I
forgot the tagline of the show, hacked the horizon, if I remember.
And when they got me out, they saw the big brute, right,
it would have been Alia and Tamir because they were there in the suits with
the things sucking and sucking you out. They vacuum sucked you out. They
were holding the tube in place that they're the only two that saw the other
person below you would have been those two. Okay, okay, I'm good.
I'm just gonna stay hidden or am I not allowed? No? No,
no, no, I'm just thinking about something. No, no,
you're good. I'm thinking about something. You hear the the younger guy is
martyr. He goes, sir, you don't think this is part of all
that stuff that's you know, happened over there, and uh in Tawan and
got it looks at me and he goes, no, way, they're connected
on the other side of the third horizon, because you're probably right, sir,
You're right, sir, who's fixing the ship? Are you gonna fix
the ship? Fix the ship? Oh yeah, absolutely, as soon as
as soon as Timir gets that like that look from Malik like hmmm, he
just you know again in his head tells sally, go ahead, and how
are these systems on? Please? Of course everything like turns back on.
Uh, no problem because the ship was just turned off, turns up and
loudly says, look at that. You got it to mirror. See you
just need a little DLC with this, and like he's gonna like put all
the wires that he just was messing around with back. Are you opening the
air lock to let this poor guy out? Yes, and the door will
now open. He comes tumbling out, this kid. Uh, he has
been sobbing and weeping his eyes. He runs over to you, t Mirror
and tosses his arms around you and gives you a hug and he hugs you
super taste. Thank you so much. I thought it was gonna die on
this little chunk. No, no, no, no, it's you're okay.
You're fine. Like t me's like patting his head like a small child.
How he ask it? Or man, he's like a twenty one year
old man. See commando. Yeah, walks in and he goes he goes
soldiers and he kind of jumps a little bit and he goes, what is
going on here? He says, how did you get in such a And
he kind of comes over and grabs him by the scrump in the neck and
tosses him to the door, and he says, go outside and I'll meet
you there. And he says, I gotta get this last eye skin and
he pulls up the phone and he goes, who ow, damn uh,
looks like you already had your eye scan. He kind of looks around at
this guy and he says, but I didn't do it, sir. And
he said, well, that damn wo out there must have before he locked
himself in here. Get going take him inside. Sounds like he shifts over
because all of you, and he says, happy travels with your junk and
all. He slams his fist against the med bay door in it closes,
leaving the three of you and of course Lamara in there. So you watch
them exit the ship. They like open the door, the three of them
leave. He kind of ruffs this kit up. He smacks him up next
the head a little bit and kind of bushes him out. He seems very
upset. But they are off your ship. You hear sally go, Captain
Tuma, the ship is fueled and ready for departure. Then we can take
our place in line within the next hour, and Sally says, prepping for
pre portal launch, and you can kind of feel the first thing, of
course, his detachment. That piece comes off of the door. The ship
begins to kind of release itself. The hydraulics loosen, and the ship actually
levitates or like sits in space once again, and you're free. And Sally
takes a place in line to pop through the portal. But while all that
happens kind of on auto, because that's what Sally does, I get the
fuck out of the vent. You come bursting out of this like falling out
of this vent. Your your droid, your little drone is like sitting there.
Why not little eyes like blink, little digit digital red eyes. I'm
so sorry. All I could think is the one scene with Bender in the
ceiling tiles and breakfast club. While the rest of the crew is like doing
launch preparations, He's like one man walks into a bar with the poodle.
It just falls into the bridge precisely so I would jump down from into the
medday where everyone else is, right, Yeah, totally. You kick out,
You kick out that piece. It comes clattering to the ground, probably
just missing to mirror and tow and you can like PLoP out and he lends
to the groundsbelt ten foot jump. It's not too bad. Damn that was
that could have gone real shit. How did you get there? It's the
fuck if I know? Did you know your events attached to anyway? Yeah?
That was dude. Yeah, there's We should probably go as soon as
we can. There's someone on here apparently that I remember, and I really
don't want to meet him again. So you know, great, Well,
Sally's already preparing us to go, So I'm gonna grab a cup of coffee
and yeah, let's go get the fuck back to Coriolis. Can I turn
over to Oh? Sorry, where's Alia? I don't know she ran out,
but when this whole thing happened, she took the big floody orbything too.
M I didn't see her. Oh yeah, Sally is all you're still
contained within this ship? Yes, all right, but by the technical turret
standards. What does that mean? Technically she is aboard this vessel gean somewhere
safe for us to fly if we need to find her to put her in
crying to say it, Okay, Sally, can you locate Oh yeah,
there is a life form gems inside of an air duct between the temple and
the medical bay. So how big are the air ducts? They're pretty spacious.
Oh gods, go yeah, I thought she got stuck. All right.
Okay, well there's that air vent went further forward and then that would
be the chapel. So fuck all right. I want to see Imna jump
on, don't it? But so I don't do it like the typical way.
I want to jump on Malik and kick off. Okay, roll scetylik
Malik. For sure, it gets down, it does the thing? Just
jump on you like step shoulder up, what a jerk? Yeah, yeah,
no problems, two feet half of his back. Use him as a
bounding board, and you pull yourself back up and into this air shaft and
kind of crawl like deeper into it to see if you can see. Like
around the corner. It does get a smitche tighter, but it ends and
like drops off into a small open shaft and as you look over the edge
you see Alia hidden here. But Alia is in some kind of I can't
say, not conscious, because she sits upright and the orb is in her
hands, like on her lap, in her hand, but like a trance
of some kind. There's an energy that seems to flow between her hands and
this ORB, and it's they're interconnected in some way. She's not moving,
her eyes or rolled back into the back of her head, and she just
kind of sits there. I've located her, and she's in some sort of
I don't know, paralysis, I think. And she's got the flooding ORB,
and you know, I really don't know much about this stuff. It
doesn't really look safe to move it, though, so I could if I
look around. Is there like any other way to like maybe I could get
You can see that she probably didn't come in from this point. She came
in from like down where the shaft like originally starts connected to the chapel?
Am I able to physically? Would I be able to, like, Oh,
she's so fucking tall. Yeah, it would be a tight squeeze,
but you can like drop down in there. You have to kind of tuck
your knees up. She sits there criss cross with this thing in her lap.
Should touch the ORM? I don't think I can move her without touching
the orb. Shall you touch it? No? Let it let him know?
N't no, No, do not touch the orb? Do you have
a T shirt on colored the orb and bring uh his body asse so rolling
agility check and take your shirt off. In this tidy ass space, you're
gonna be like, it's gonna be all contorted and like trying to get your
your your damn. Yeah that's uncomfortable. Yeah, you don't, in fact
get your shirt off, but you do get your shoes off, and you
can use your socks around your hands to not touch it if you want.
Yeah, I'll do that. I will take my socks off and I will
use them as mittens and then I will use that to slowly grasp the ball
when you try to take it from her roller force check. Okay, all
right, they sucks. It is it is. It is so tight in
her hands. It's almost as if it is welded to her skin. It
is not going anywhere, doesn't You could try to just move her another force
check, just pull her out. I'll try to just push her out of
the vents. You you use a barefoot to smash open the grate that goes
into the chapel and you crawl out and manage to roll a force fuck.
It is a strugle getting her out. She is a big lady, I'm
gonna give you. I'm gonna give you a darkness point just that just because
three much better, and you you pull Alia out. Her body kind of
helps slide across a pillow that she has left here in the chapel, where
she kind of comes out this this ORB still locked in her grasp. Okay,
I got her out. She's in the chapel. She's still holding the
ball. Why can't I touch the ball because there is an evil kit inside
of it? H can I'm gonna I'm gonna sit. I'm gonna set her
up like on a chair just so she's kind of like just sitting in the
chapel holding the ORB and then yeah, that's it. That's all I'm gonna
do. Yeah, she uh, she kind of just like sits against the
wall, this or bright in her lap. Her body's a little limper now
that you've kind of messed with it and moved it. But she seems like
she's breathing and she's alive at least. Do you guys want me to leave
her here or should I move her somewhere? She's just kind of there.
Just portal jump in Team minus forty minutes. Yeah, we need to put
her in ice. You need to put her in cychamber. Okay, okay,
I I'm gonna try to pick her up and okay, I'll say.
You gave me a darkness point to move her, so you can you can
easily continue that motion. You kind of get her her a lower half like
on a pillow, and you can just like drag her like down the hallway
all the way to cryo, to your cryo chambers. Do you want to
meet him there, Malik? Is that what you're gonna Yeah, I was
gonna say he's he's actually gonna like unhook or like rehook the stuff for for
Lamara and like roll her cart like dismounted it's space. It's a fucking hover
cart. He like dismounts it from whatever it's mounted to in the in the
in the druma lab and is rolling this hover cart towards Malik. You kind
of meet each other on opposite ends, headed for the same door. So
is dragging Alia on a set of pillows, and Lamara floats on this medical
like stretcher that's headed both kryo. Hey did you drag her the whole way?
Yeah? I did. She's like twice twice your size. Yeah,
that's why I had to drag her. I couldn't, you know, carry
her. How's how's the how's the doc still unconscious? Still? I don't
know, deep deep possessed by a genie? Yeah, okay, is it
concerning to you that the ball is just kind of whoa? Yeah? You
know, man, If I'm being honest, everything in the last forty five
minutes is very concerning. Okay. I'm glad I'm not the only one.
Yeah, this is more concerning than Kua and I think after that, just
continue in silence until we get there. The contemplate all the magic that's happening,
all the stuff. As you both enter, you're able to like slot
the stretcher into one of the cryo tubes. You're able to very slowly get
Alia into one and like strapped in. But the orbs still in Alia's hands.
Do I want to close this with her holding that or you know,
man, don't have a choice. I fuck it? Okay, I just
slammished. Yep, you like boom boop? You set the kind of piece,
tell some mere Malik leaves with Lamara. You hear that forty minutes to
jump? Well that was fun. Do you why I panicked. I don't
know. Look, I'm not good in these situations. This is more Malik's
territory. Yeah, next, ah, I only powdered that happens. Yes,
but the ta me or I have so many words and yet somehow so
few. Then say nothing. We've made it through this, okay, this
is the least of our problems. Yeah, mm hmmm, coffee, I
need coffee. Well, we're about to go to take you a long sleep,
so I need to finish operations for a jump. Are you okay though?
Mm hmmm? I mean with with everything going on? Mhmm, I'm
just to figure out of this ship. I mean, yes, you you
are the captain mm hmm. That's what people keep telling me, because that's
what you are. I suppose, Hey, you you've got this here this
far, we're all still alive. We've got the matera back kind of to
me or. I don't know how bad she's gonna be. She even wakes
up that Gin was attached to her for a long time. I know,
but I still have to hope for my brother. I suppose so did he
completely wipe your what? What did he do exactly? Oh? I have
no idea honestly. I just trust my brother. Okay, I'm not sure
if I can trust your brother to be honest. He's a little shady,
a little I'm trying to be nice. He's your brother. Do you trust
me the ends of the horizons? And further, I trust him. I
know his methods are unconventional, but he has a good heart and it is
in the right place here. There's nothing conventional about this ship. There's not.
It is a research vessel outfitted like a pirate vessel. Yeah, we're
junkers. We're junkers. What do they know at calling us pirates? The
well, don't look at me like that. I am not a pirate.
You're not the pirate. But all the circumstances, what do you kind of
look like pirates? Fine, there are worse things to be, like Soul's
father, like the dancer. No, that's a pirate. I don't like
her. I mean, I don't like her either, but she's effective,
effective and messing with us. If there's such a thing as a space bully,
she is the definition of a space bully. Like, if she wanted
to kill me, she could have just taken a better shot, and she
didn't. So she's just fucking with us. Yeah, she's effective. She
plays mind games to me, or that's what she does. And the further
you let her in your head, then the better she wins. The more
often she wins. Can't let her get to you. That's how she wins.
That's the game she wants. Yeah, I am not very good at
games. Well she is. Like I said, she's effective of if I
played the same games as she did. Actually I wouldn't want to play those
games. Just too good at them. Ah, I don't know. I
bet all of my I have to remember what currency we use this game.
I've played so many our burg I'm like, what is the different every fucking
game? If if I were to place all of my bird and who would
win every time depends on how we're fighting. Well, if we are talking
about the best damp pilot in all of the Third Horizon, that pilot would
fight tooth and nail and win by any means. Twenty minutes to Portal Jump,
shall we get ready? Yeah? I hope Soul leaves his clothes on
this time. I was just about to say, hope, but has pants
on this time. I still don't understand why they feel that that's just and
so does the crew gather in the portal chamber to make jump? I said,
all, of course, tal because tell us to do it from from
the bridge. Oh, I make sure everyone's tucked in, cozy. Yeah,
I'll make sure everybody's tucked in, not before a little smooch. Oh,
smooch, of course, because you never know, you never you never
know. But this is a pretty This starts a very long travel back portal
after portal. How you're pretty much the only one that wakes up each time,
nobody else really needs to. I'm gonna have you roll a piloting test.
You're gonna get a plus one for the uh blessing on the ship.
I believe you get a plus one because you have some kind of pop plotting
thing for long proximity jumps or long jumps portal jumps. And then I'm guessing
Tamir probably helped orient the vessels. So I'll give you another plus one for
Tamir because Tamir's a specialist this kind of thing. Piloting check to get to
and from how as always, uh also praise before she goes Yes, do
I get another one? Uh? That'll be three. The blessing on the
ship basically is a prayer of any kind. Yeah, perfect limited success.
Okay, it is exactly how long you expected it would take, Tao,
you make every jump from the Odicon system back all the way across to Kua
by your calculations, each time that you wake up, it takes you roughly
two and a half weeks. You wake up, the ship still sleeps.
You refuel, they put you in line, and they ship you out again,
and you make a series of jumps over and over and over until you
make it three weeks later. Alia still lies in cryo hands on this strange
globe. But you're here, and as your cryo chamber opens up, you
begin to thaw out. Your vision begins to come back. The stars dissipate
and kind of blink your eyes. You can hear the sound. This is
Coriolis requesting docking coordinates for the Defiant. I repeat, this is Coriolis requesting
docking codes for the Defiant. I hit my comms and give the codes,
which Tell has memorized at this point. Yeah, you say it as if
you reach over and turn off the alarm. It's just an auto for you,
especially after having done this trip there and back. You punch the codes
in. There's a pause, and of course they say, welcome back to
Corioli is the Defiant. You are cleared to dock in the upper decks.
Go ahead and hit the button to wake up the crew and start going.
Sally says, welcome back, captain. Nice flying. The crew seems to
be in stable condition. Alia still has not wakened from whatever stacious stasis she
is in. Thanks Sally. All right, now coffee and I go to
my station. Yeah, maybe you even flipped the thing and you can start
here like that. That wonderful sputter of the coffee as it drips its first
drips in the morning. Oh, what a beautiful, beautiful sound in the
world. And to mere Seuel and Malik, your cryo chambers open, the
same thing that drowsiness. Your eyes come to as you hear Sally say welcome.
We have arrived in Kua. We are scheduled to doc and Corey O.
Listen teen minus twenty five minutes. Thank you, Sally. It has
been exactly two weeks, four days, and three hours since the last time
you were out of cryo. That's a quick joke. Oh great, kid,
Uh, you're a terrorist. But that's rude. No, We're on
Coriolis and you're a terrorist. He's a what like a like a terrorist?
I've been on Coridalists. It's fine. Wait since when I don't know,
like eight months ago? Nine months ago? Ish? Oh? Have I
been locked away? The year? A year? Technically, Seel has been
gone from Coriolis for Team minus one year? Did you like and three days?
He still keeps going? Did you like her personality a lot? I
remember her being so quiet? You know, we just missed. My last
upgrade was on the Tamarabie station out of me? What the fuck? Jake?
The mechanic cleared all of my data files, refreshed and rebooted my systems.
I feel good as new. I get to go back in and reset
some of those settings. Anyway, what are we gonna do about you?
You know about you? I'm not on a watch list. I have a
clean record off of the watch list. It wasn't a Podunk mercenary watch list.
It's the entire Third Horizon watch list. I'm good, but I'm not
hack the government good? So are you? Are you wanted here? Ta
mirror like everywhere? Like your face? You show your face, You're gonna
get arrested. I don't No, I don't think. I mean I was
potentially living on Coriolis for months. He is not a top priority criminal.
If that is the question, I would not call him top priority. Say
he runs into the wrong place or excidentally gets arrested and they run his file,
he could be in a lot more trouble. Well, like it seems
like he'll be fine, all right, Just you know, don't do anything
stupid and keep your head down. See Stuel gets it all right. I'm
just saying we're here. It doesn't bother me because I didn't do anything.
The thing is, I'm pretty sure we're here to like stop an invasion that
only we know about from like weird magic mysticide things. Everything we're about to
do is super illegal. Everything we have done is. But that's the point.
Everything we've done, and now you're on a wanted list, his existence
is illegal. That's just three of you roll in observation. Oh chrazy ah
boy, and then a demon dog attacks. You know what. Since you're
arguing, you can take it. Okay. Well I can't say negative one,
but that's okay. You failed, get I sorry, perfect perfect.
Y'all are arguing just like biggering back and forth. But to mirror, you're
staring at your brother and you get that feeling. The hair kind of stands
up on the back of your neck a little bit, and you just get
that feeling like you're being watched. And your eyes are just over your brother's
shoulder, and you realize that Lamara's pod is standing open. She is standing
there, eyes open, staring at you rather blankly. All of you just
in a blank stare, arms at her side, just staying and breathing.
To Lamara, it like t bered twirls, bleak around. I feel like
all three of us would just your head's like whip around to see she she
stands there. She looks she's doing that like ko sway a little bit.
You know. We're like, if you push her, she'd probably fall over.
But she's she's just kind of standing there, headcocked to the side,
eyes blankly blinking at all of you. Okay, can I push Malik towards
there? Yeah? I want to push Malik towards her. Hey, he
stumbles forward, go doctor, touch of shot? Are you okay? What?
Oh? Damn? Hello? He walks right past all of you,
just like he carries her right past Maleik and soul and then to mirror and
she gets to the door and she very slowly like boops the button and the
door slides open, and she just she just wants right out to me or
do magic. We should we should probably stop her. We should probably stop
her. Should wake someone who's sleep walking? Well, I imagine you gotta
check on your crew. Yeah, towels walking back towards the crowchambers with a
cup cup of coffee in a hand, like like, what the hell is
taking a guy? You see it as you come down here? What's going
so? And you look and down the hallway. Lamara does not look at
you. She does not stop. She simply turns and walks towards the direction
that would lead her, like towards the medical bay. She just turns and
walks the door. You can hear their voices, like as the door closed
behind her. Seeing Lamar, I say, h Lamara, Hey, she
does not stop. I'm gonna go after her, pick up the case and
the fo They come out of the door like the three stooges, followed by
tow who's got this cup of coffee? And you all follow her. Do
you stop her? Like physically stop her? Do you just see where she's
going. I'll try to like put a hand on her and be like hey,
not not in like a threatening or restraining way, but to kind of
like reinforce touch, like there's somebody else here, You're not alone. Roll
an empathy check. Okay, limited success. Okay, she doesn't freak out,
that's a plus. You put your hand on her shoulder, and she
stops her head, turns very slowly to look at your hand on her shoulder
as if it is a foreign object, a bizarre thing. And she reaches
up and touches her hand to yours on her shoulder and quickly pull it away,
looks around, turns around and looks at all four of you still in
a very unknowing way. She backs up a little bit and puts distance between
you. She kind of looks like like a deer in the headlights. Lamara,
who is that that is? You? Are you? Okay? Stop
calling me that? I don't know who that is? What's your name?
I don't know that either. Well that's okay. Where am I? You're
on the defiant I'm tal She goes, I don't feel good, and she
kind of looks like she may go like she's a little weak in the knees.
Can I can I help you get to a bed? Kind of hand
my coffee over. I just got CBS. This is yah Blik takes the
coffee from tow she goes, I must she She kind of looks around and
feels the walls, and she starts walking again in the direction she was originally
headed, and she picks up her pace just a little bit with like purpose.
The coffee mug keeps getting passed backward all the way. Toto mer who
finds like a like a shelf for it, I imagine, or like a
you know something, your bidy like set this coffee mug on. As the
four of you follow her, she goes all the way back down to the
medical bay, and you see her stop in front of the medical bay door
and press the button and slides open, and her eyes get big as if
she is remembering something recalling. The light bulb begins to go off, and
she kind of walks in and runs her hand down the table and across the
countertops, and she slides open a drawer and she grabs a scalpel. She
closes the door and she kind of holds it up and looks at it.
Amara, Yeah, she goes, what, yeah, you okay, Yes,
do you need anything? No, there's nothing left. Two. She
kind of takes the scalpel and runs it down the slick vinyl topping of this
uh medical bed here. You can hear it like a rip is. She
like slices it open. She peels it back, and she says, but
where are the insides? Oh, the inside of the medical tables right there,
you see it. It's just She grabs the phone with her hand and
pulls it out and tosses it to the side. Where are the insides?
She means, like ripping the foam out? This is really weird. We
shoud stop her, probably, she starts, she's just tearing up the bed.
But look, I I kind of get a little bit closer, kind
of putting my hands out, like, hey, uh, there's no more
insides to get in here. That's that's just about it. Why don't why
don't we just you know, sit down for a few minutes and take it
easy and tell me what you remember? Hey, he what the fuck?
Tell can I? He just kind of shrugs, just like she She slices
another part of like the upper portion of the bed and peels it back.
She says, no, there are no organs there. Yeah, that's not
a person. Malik Malik walks to the center of the room and like while
he's doing it, he's like poking at the oh crap, the personal thingy
watch that's on his on his wrist watch, and he starts like, no,
it's like a it's a personal communicator thing that has like a holograph.
Yeah, the personal holograph. And he starts like, you're poking around the
holograph and you see like that blue wireframe kind of thing as he's like moving
through saved files on there, and he like undoes the band and sort of
like places it in the center ish of the room and like crouched down,
he hits like a few more things and he kind of like looks like a
shrug at everyone and then says, Lamara, do you does this mean anything?
And then he like hits a button and then the whatever the cube in
the center expands to like be the walls and it's an exact wireframe replica of
whatever she wrote on her walls in the nuthouse from season two, episode one.
She kind of looks around in her eyes squint and she says, this
is not me anymore. She turns and she stops and looks at you,
Malie. Oh. She stabs the scalfold into the table. Oh. And
she kind of walks over like a dog trying to figure out a sound.
Her head kind of tips and she looks into you. You're sure of it,
and she comes and gets really close to you. But I know you.
I mean, I would hope. So what are you. She kind
of reaches up and puts her hand across, like on your face and feels
it a little bit. Um, I guess your boyfriend. She tips her
head again, as if she doesn't quite understand, and she smells the air
next to you. No, that's normal. You erased all these things.
And she kind of points at the writing, the fake writing on the wall.
We had to you were dying. I've died twice, yeah, I
remember, Yet the third time you would have taken a lot of people with
you. She kind of squints again, and she begins to cry, a
very silent kind of cry, but you can see it. A tear breaks
her eye and then the other and she says, but I help people,
and that's why we had to erase this, and she kind of she struggles
for a second, and her knees buckle a little bit. She says,
I don't remember anything. I'm empty inside. Well that's that's not true,
and we remember almost everything. Then who am I? He like reaches down
and like pulls like the tag, like off the jacket what's left of the
tattered jacket, and says, you're doctor Lamara. She got from chief Metacourage
on the Himura station. You are now the chief metacourage of the Defiant.
She kind of takes the badge and brings it close, as if it might
offer her some kind of comfort. He clearly doesn't. She walks over to
the medical bed and she lays down. She splits it so that she sits
on the inside of it. She tries to peel some of the leatherback around
her. I'd like to be alone place, okay, Sally's voice comes over
the Intercome, Captain Tuma, we have docked. Thanks Sally, perfect,
all right? Where my coffee go? It's sitting on the counter back in
the missile where they like fire lainger coffee backwards. Yep, yeah, comfort
cocoon. So he's gonna go find her coffee. Did finish it off?
All right? I guess we should get a message that we're here. They
probably already know. Malik is the last person out of the med bay.
And he takes two of those like those little stools that doctors have with him
out of the med bay and the door closes behind him, and he puts
one against the door and then one on the opposite side of the hallway and
he sits, and he puts his feet up. Souls gonna sit next to
Malik like a child and cross leg and be like, what are you doing?
She wanted to be alone? Are you just gonna stand out here and
just wait for her? I mean, yeah, pretty much. Why you
know, I don't really know, huh. It just feels like the right
thing to do. And he like slides his data pad up and like swipes
a few times and then places it where his feet are on the other stool.
And it's the camera feed of the trauma lab. Huh. Doc,
You see when you turn the camera on, she is no longer on the
bed. She's up next to the wall on the other side of where all
of you are. She's kind of leaning against it, curled up in the
fetal position, and her ears against it. She listens, or at least
seems to be and she sits there on the other side exactly parallel to you.
I get up and kind of like put my hand on Malik's shoulder and
then be like miss a step and then I'm gonna like start walking away.
He like kind of like reaches out and gives you like a whack on like
the arm. Uh you as a reflex, I grab it. I'm sorry,
but that's perfect. Yeah, Okay, when you guys leave, make
sure Tamir doesn't get in trouble. Oh, I'm sure he'll be fine.
You worry too much about your brother. I went away for a few months
and then he became a terrorist. All right, good point, But like
if we could make sure nothing happens, I'll make sure. I'll make sure
nothing. No, I'll make sure he's fine. And then I point to
what is it called fuck the she mug? No the module mask? Oh,
yeah, I have a little I'm gonna be like, I'll make sure
no one recognizes him, and then I and I'm gonna walk over and yeah,
you meet twa, Mir and Taw and we'll say that our camera follows
the three of you. Are you going to go? Are you going out
to meet the judge who has requested your presence before we leave, could I
kind of give t Mirr the module mask. He doesn't have to use it,
just just in case your brother wanted me to make sure you're okay.
So here and I take the module mask and I give it to him.
Okay, Well, you know he'll be fine, right Like, we think
it's more of a peace of mind for him. It's more for him than
you. I think, I don't know, maybe we'll figure it out.
Okay, But I look at tell thanks, I do kind of do one
of these things to Tim are like, I feel like there's something happening that
I don't understand right now. I just kind of keep pointing at to me.
I'm like, I look to mirror up and down. He looks it
probably looks fine, right Like, there's nothing weird about him right now.
He's just doing this to be weird. Yeah, it's so. I think
I've just not been socialized in a long time. Let's get you into more
refreshing air. Yeah. Oh, by the way, when we go to
this meeting, just just listen, don't talk, Okay. I put my
hood up and I kind of get ready to leave as the doors slide open.
You were meeted by a tall, well groomed man. He's exactly as
you remember him. His hair dark, kind of sleeped and greased over,
well kept, his robes all the way to the floor. They are immaculate
and embroidered. But he smiles, this judge, and he says, welcome
back to Coriolis. Three and a half weeks. It took you to get
here a little bit faster than we thought it would be. He smiles.
Well, if there is anyone I believe that can cross the third horizon and
get out of trouble, it's definitely you and your crew. And he kind
of looks at just TAMR and Sue and says, you seem short of you.
We have an injury and uh oh disappointment. Should I send medical?
I think will be okay. They're just gonna stay on this show too wonderful.
Follow me. We have business to attend to. Yeah. He kind
of like rallies the troops. He very clearly is a man in charge,
if that makes sense. And he walks you out and there is a sound
you've not been met with in many, many weeks. The busy, busy
corridors of Coriolis now you can see and sell. Probably you're a bit surprised.
First off, there are missing signs for individuals posted on every freeboard.
Every piece of led has somebody that is missing. Soldiers have doubled. There's
double the amount of security. You see armed guards everywhere. People walk with
their hoods up. No weapons that you can see anywhere. It is.
You can feel it in the air. It is as if somebody sneeze,
it would all crack and break into all out civil war. I'm gonna lean
over to towel and be like, when was the last time you guys were
here? Been a few months? As we start walking off, Tyle's hand
kind of instinctively goes towards Tamerrors, but then she stops and puts it in
her pocket, running her fingers into the brass knuckles that she keeps them there,
squeezes it. She says, you know, lots of things have happened,
So once we have time, I'll definitely fill you in a little bit
better, But right now is not a great time to discuss everything. Okay.
It leads you down through the people to it seems like a business.
A place of business. There are like meeting tables and chambers. I would
call it a restaurant necessarily, but there's a woman that's offering people like coffee
and water, like the basics, and he gestures you into a private room.
You've been in a room similar to this before. In fact, when
you returned from Kua, you reported to him in a room like this.
And he opens the door and he says, we have much to discuss.
I know that all of you have come in gone from Tawan, but I
need you to consider returning, and the camera cuts back to Malik on the
ship. Sitting outside Lamar's door. You hear the calm turn on the like
door calm Malik, and her voice says, I know you're sitting there.
Uh huh. Why because you asked to be alone? That doesn't make any
sense. Why not because you're still here? Now? You are alone in
there, I'm out here. There's a pause. Can I don't know what
it feels like to be with anyone anymore. I don't know anything but emptiness.
Well, you're not going to learn it. There there's like a long
pause. On the other end of the she goes, where is it?
I actually don't know? Wait which part you might? You might hear a
smile crawl across her face. Molik. When you say that, there's a
small lift in her voice, and she says, you know what I'm talking
about. Where's the darkness? There's a giant lady in a cryopod kind of
holding it. Where's the lady in a cryopod in the where cryopod room on
the ship? Yeah? Your slides open. Lamar is standing there. I
want to see it. Why because I want to see it. Do you
promise not to touch it? Yes? Do you promise not to touch it?
Yes? Okay, okay? And she never makes eye contact with you.
She always stares at the floor. I think. When he gets up
from the chair, like he'll grab the data pad and like slide it back
where it goes. And then he not like in an interlock kind of way,
but more like a child crossing the street kind of way, he like
takes her hand and leads her towards the cry e lab. You can see
she pulls back a little bit at first, as if okay, this is
there's a lot of trauma here, and then she she kind of relents a
little bit to that and lets you lead her into the cryo room where I
imagine at the end, we see under blue lights, Alia still under cryo,
this black orb like right here where she kind of holds it, and
he takes his arm and wipes away some of the fog from the Foggia kind
of comes over and gets on her knees and puts her hands on either side
of the glass and looks deep into this like spot you've cleared a way of
fog where you can see this this black orb. And she simply says,
it's so much smaller. I heard it was pretty violent though. Her head
kind of tips and she runs her hand again. You can hear it like
eke across the glass. Four thousand, three hundred and two days. That's
how long I was in there. No, no, She looks at Malik
and she nods yes. Four thy three hundred and two days. I spent
with pure darkness. That's kind of two Mere's department. But it was only
think a year. I could hear you all, you know, That's what
I heard. And tow would talk and you would talk, and what I
imagine is the tall lady would talk, told you she was huge. It
fed on me. I remember your name. Moment turns and looks of you,
bleak, what am I supposed to do? Now, Malik, the
same thing the rest of us do. What's that? The best you can
with what you have? And what do I have? I don't remember anything.
I can't feel anything. I swear to God if you tell swear to
the icons, if you tell tale. I said this. You have the
crew, the crew, Yes, the Defiant, that's us. What are
we going to do with it? You know? That's kind of the big
ladies department. I want to kill it. I think that's the plan,
but I don't really understand how. But I think she has it like contained.
That's kind of why she's still on ice. Where were you when when
they ripped that out of me? Uh? About ten feet away in the
mess hall? Why because I wasn't allowed in the room. Why? Something
about you trying to kill me? I think is what I got. They
were a little scarce on the details. How long was it gone? About
a year? Here? I had to eat worms to help save you.
She kind of looks at you when eyebrow rages. That's quite a sacrifice.
They were worms so big you could ride on them. You wrote a worm
No, but I tried, like hell. She kind of smiles, digs
her foot in the ground. If I remember correctly, you would prefer to
hide in the crate then get in a fight. Yeah. Well, you
know, when the most of the planet wants to kill you, you kind
of have to figure it out. Well, it looks like you figured it
out. It does look that way. She never really removes her hand from
where the orb is, but she just stand up and she kind of looks
at you, and she says, I feel so lost without it? What
about what about the other stuff? What other stuff? When I showed you
the picture of the walls, you said that was gone. Yeah, I'm
not really that person anymore, I guess. Yeah, but that came after
that came before that. It's hard to explain. Okay, well you don't
have to the creature. It feeds on you, what every aspect of you,
your mind, your soul, something I didn't even know existed, right
heart and desires the Lamara. I guess you rescued from whatever prison that was
sh has been consumed. So are you the Lamara from before that or a
whole new one? I don't know. I'm the Lamar that comes after that,
which kind of runs her hand down the glass over the orb because I
mean listen, I met you once and then you died and I saved you
that time, and then you were a different Lamara, and then you died
and we collectively saved you this time, and now you're a different Lamara,
and I don't know that we're going to be lucky enough to save you from
a third one. So if you could just hang out with us and not
die, that'd be awesome. What are you trying to say? Stop dying?
Well, the last time I checked, I haven't died yet. You're
welcome. She kind of laughs again. She says, I guess you have
fixed that problem. Yeah, a couple of times. Yep. I believe
I'm supposed to say thank you. They were kind of our fault, so
we'll just call it. Even Brow kind of furrows that part she may not
completely understand. Yeah, but that's kind of what happens here. So I'm
I don't really know what to do now, But do you do you want
to go find a crate with me? She kind of looks at you very
genuinely. Yeah, actually, I there's a crate in storage. There's a
whole thing with shadows, space dogs. Come on, I'll tell you all
about it. Okay, and she kind of looks around. She says,
so many upgrades. She kind of looks she this time, she takes your
hand, no innerlocking fingers or anything. Very still, you know, like
she's along for the ride. But I imagine you had to cargo where there
are crates. Yeah, specifically the one that's like over the whole the vent
right the vent. Yeah, Yeah, there's like a crate or whatever,
and it's large enough for the both of you. And she kind of crawls
in and pulls her knees up, and she says, I don't know,
it just feels comforting. I guess you remember that time that there was a
box on a slide. She says, duh, there you go. That's
why it's comforting. Are you kind of get in after you and he like
moves a hand to help her into this crate. Yeah. She gets in
rather confidently and like pulls her kind of like I said, knee's up to
her chest. He like leans over and like hits the colms panel that's inside
the cargo room. Sally delete all footias from the last thirty minutes and stop
recording. Deleting all footage from the last thirty minutes, stopping recording, and
he climbs into the box. She kind of smiles and grins and pulls the
lid, not tight, just kind of over top of the both of you,
and in a rather childlike way. The two of you like blanket for
it, but this time inside of a rather large and empty crate. She
smiles and uh, she kind of grabs your hand and she says, no,
this I remember, and the camera cuts to Tame or Saul and Towel
walking into this kind of conference room, sterile and clean. He has two
guards that accompany him. He did not have guards last time. He does
now, and he smiles, and he simply says, have a seat.
It has been what nigh on a full cycle since I have laid eyes on
all of you. Well, he says, well, I hope you're well.
We're getting by. Looks like you're doing pretty well yourself, at least
for now. I'd say we are all getting by. But I have called
you all here because you have been well selected. All of you surpassed our
expectations with your evaluation of the Tawan incident and then your mission on Kua Be
Consortium requests your help again. I don't know how tuned in you are to
the incidents around Tawan, specifically the Hamura System, the Order of course or
I'm sorry, the Consortium has maintained control of it, but in lieu of
losing control of the Debarian System, which feeds into the opposite side of Tawan,
you know, might pretty much be aware of this. There was like
a little bit of a civil war battle, you know, a little ship
battle that happened. The entire Debarian System now has a blockade held by the
Order of the Pariah to our attention. A few weeks ago, a vessel
was well, what was left of it was launched out of the tower portal.
He looks at t Mere specifically. Yes, I know, things don't
usually backfire out of the portal. In fact, it was so violent it
shot whatever item was across the Debarian System, and I'm sorry, he says,
no, I'm sorry. The Debarian System bumps up to Uhru where this
is happening. He says, it shot it out of the Juharu portal,
all the way across the Uharu System to a planet. I'm gonna pull up
a map for you guys, so you can just kind of see what I'm
talking about. In Roll twenty four reference, here's the Yuharu, he says.
In fact, it's shot out of that portal all the way across through
the asteroid belt, and we believe this vessel has landed on a moon than
the Uharu System. More importantly, based on the disc that you all return
to us from the Tawan system. He kind of smiles. Remember the lost
vessel of the Ghazali. Yeah, Well, it seems that this vessel that
was launched out of the portal unexpectedly is well matches that of the Ghazali.
We believe it is the large or rest of the freighter. The battle freighter
that was escorting it through a small chunk now floats round a planet called Ezra
one to five, which is actually a moon, but we believe the other
half of it has landed on the planet proper. We're looking for a team
to sneak into the Yuharu System past the order of the Pariah's Barrier and go
planet side. We need scans run on that vessel. We want to assure
that it is in fact the one we expect it is, and we want
to know what happened inside of that portal and why it has reappeared over a
year later. You want not be going alone. Things are volatile right now.
So I have a commando and two legioneers that we will be assigning to
your ship. They should come in handy. Great, he says, this
won't be a problem with it. I generally like to keep my crew as
small as possible as casualties. But you know, I understand it seems only
reasonable. But we want to assure that nothing happens to you and that you
get what you came for. These are highly trained operatives. They will serve
you well and be able to provide you with all the gear that you need.
Because, of course, the far side of a zero one five is
covered in nice water. We believe the vessel has broken the icy surface.
You will be on a diving mission oh water, and I don't have a
very good history. I apologize for that, girln he says, don't fear.
We will assure that you have top of the line equipment for breathing underwater
and scuba diving. Great questions, do we know if any data is going
to be still viable after being submerged. We are unsure, he says.
Our agents have been able to pick up a small distress beacon which is how
we know that part of the ship, at least the part we're hoping is
intact. But it going to be your job to get down there and scan
and see if we can recover anything from the Saphir. Who are the operatives
assigned to us? He says, I'm glad you asked. Let's meet them,
all right? He says, well, uh. He gestures to the
two soldiers on either side of him, the two Legioneers. He says,
this is Dalla and Faruk far o Ukuk Dalla and Dalla amone and Faruk Gaime
And he says, you're oh, I'm make sure I get her name right
because I can't find it. He says, your commando will meet you after
your briefing with me, because I don't have her name right now because I
can't find it. But I do have your two legions there they are.
The two of them don't say much, but they do acknowledge you as captain.
All right. What's to pay for this job? He spills, of
course, well as much as your last job, which I believe was twenty
thousand er twenty five twenty five thousand er captain, if I may, of
course, uh last accepted mission from you. Yes, at the prospect of
maybe they will succeed, maybe they will not. But we have now succeeded
multiple times against all odds, and you expect us to once more risk the
lives of ourselves while waiting us down with three additional bodies. I do not
feel that that is sufficient enough pay for arguably one of the best pilots on
the horizon, with a crew who has made it through just about anything,
you might even say the impossible. He flips something on the screen in front
of him on this table, and he says, ah, yes, the
engineer Tamir alas sade bardaining your team has grown. I see, and how
can I trust your new teammates? This Lemara seems to have quite a medical
record, even though she herself is a medical expert. And your other well,
I only see you have one more registered to your ship. You said
six? Or three more? He said, so that would make six?
Who am I missing? No, you're three more. You're two lesionnaires and
there cap Oh, yes, the special Branch officer. I see, yes,
hmmm, kind of squints. All right, we will offer you another
five thousand verb. We are, of course, covering all expenses related to
this trip as well, including the three extra miles being fed. Is that
sufficient for you, Tamyr? What about a different bargaining ship? Okay,
he says, what is it that you could possibly want? You are in
a position of power, are you not? It's going a warning look from
tell I tend to find myself in places of power. It comes with the
title of judge. Hm. Oh, perhaps you could, instead of the
additional bear clean up some of our more dirtier records of the members of our
crew. I see he kind of squints across the room at you. The
two agents kind of look at each other. He says, interesting quality bargain.
I will assure that the records of all your crewmates are clean when you
provide me with full list of names. I promise to clear your records of
any and all wrongdoings upon your return with what we request. Lying or can
do? Tell you can absolutely roll in empathy. I would take a manipulation
here. I do not have that. I don't think. No, So
just a flat empathy to see if he's lying. Oh boys, it's hard
to tell. You can tell. This is what he does, like smooth
booze people. Yeah, it's hard to tell. If he's lying, you
would know he does have that power. He is a judge. Whether or
not he'll fully come through with it, that you can't tell from right now.
Anyways, Samirk has zero trust in this person. He hasn't wanted to
work or deal with them at all. But he's testing the powers. He's
testing what they can get out of him. School. Okay, okay,
I see what you're saying. You're seeing how far you can push School.
While all this is going on, I want you to roll an observation for
me. Ohn, roll twenty closed. M h, I promise this will
be we're closing out here through he said, Fuck this game, I didn't
even realize it closes. Okay, all right, you want me to roll
a observation. Okay, it's all right. I'll tell you this. There's
something about these two legionnaires that look really familiar. You just can't put your
finger on it. Could I spend a dark give me a darkness point?
You sure can. We're gonna have to meet them in a moment. Yeah,
no, it'd be stupid. It's not gonna it's not gonna, it's
not gonna do. It's not a change anything yet. Okay, he says,
well, if there are no more questions cleaning up records, I can
do pretty easily. We'll go ahead and give you half your payment now,
and he hits a button twelve in your account. Oh and do not forget.
You might want to drop by and see your patron. I bumped into
him just a few days ago. He seemed rather interested as to where you
have all been. Now that being said legionniar Dala and Faruk, would you
please escort these very very qualified folk to go meet our special agent. They're
kind of like nod and stand up tall and one of them opens the door.
He says, I'll be around if you need something or have questions,
but I will send the full brief direct to the defiance computers. Stand and
turn to leave. You follow. I'm guessing these two legionnaires yeah, see
you'll follow. Okay, they do not They do not say much. They
do not say much at all. Uh does anybody have medic medicourgie? But
oh, you know what, but you do have technology? Who's got tech?
All right? Roll technology if you have it. Only if you have
it? Limited success for me, okay, grand a critical side, so
you can sul can just roll a regular observation, but a critical success for
that technology. As you're walking, you see Nope, you don't see it.
This guy kind of scratches at his neck, but like maybe she's just
got an inch. The woman, though, she moves her hair how you
think you see something, But Suell, I mean Tamir. You know it
immediately. As her nails rake across her skull, you can hear metal,
like there's a giant metal plate or like metal skull piece up against her skull.
You don't know if it's like a proper piece of tech or what it
is, but she has a big ass metal plate across that hides off her
like faux hawk that she wears. We're gonna say that's Dala, because why
not. For Uke is the man that's kind of this gruff man that scratches
his neck. And they lead you to not far from here, actually to
a door with two other guards. They nod. There's like an agreement.
Everybody sees what's going on. They open the doors into kind of a private
mess hall. You see a few other legionnaires and agents, but sitting by
herself is a very plain, dark haired woman. Her hair is kind of
stringy and hangs loosely around her her like black gear that is just like decked
out to the ninth. Actually, look, I have a picture of her.
That's her right there. Oh no, that's not her. Look at
that product place. Look at that product place. But that was not the
plan. She's just so accidentally or not my plan. I really did have
a picture of her. Here she is. I'm gonna try to make her
bigger so all of you can see her. She has a gun, knee
pads, kind of full scale armor. Total badass. She looks over with
a knowing eye at the two legioneers that lead you in, and she kind
of gestures for you to join her at the table. As you get closer
the three of you, she stands, salutes, says, I'm I'm a
special Brench Agent, Nadina Saich. It's nice to meet you. It seems
that will be spending the next few weeks together as we travel from here to
you. Haru. Yeah, it's gonna be a great trip. I'm sure
of it. Hello. She kind of nods, well until captain right,
Yes, that's what people keep saying. Well, oh you're special agent,
what do you specialize on? She smiles, and she says, most people
have to work really hard to find out that information. Well, if you're
going to be on my ship, I need to know what your strengths are.
She says. I did not get here because I don't have strengths.
But if you must know, I have done quite a few things in the
past. She says, I started as a registrar for the Colonial Agency,
and I was a fast negotiator, so I became a liaison officer between the
Agency and the Alabaster Council. And some people would say, if I told
you the rest of it, I might have to kill you. She kind
of smiles with a little bit of a like knowing I that she probably ran
an agency or was part of some kind of undercover spy network, she says,
But espionage is not my game anymore, says, I'm an active agent
now in the field. All right, I'm glad this satisfies you. Tells
me enough of what I need. Now, she says, I'm going to
send the legionnaires through, gather our equipment necessary. If it is true and
we are headed to the dark side of that moon, it will be cold
and it will be wet. How many in your crew hold on I'm counting
hold on sixth total, including myself. One's inactive at the moment. It's
inactive. Ah, well, we'll prep six suits anyways. And she looks
at and she says nine suits in total. Please, And she says,
I want you to test everyone. If anyone's malfunctioning, I'll assure that it
is your fucked up suit that you have to wear. And they both like
nod in understanding, and they leave to go gather. Here they are our
lovely little legionnaires, Dala and Faruk. Dolla wears a big old suit.
She ain't playing. Fuk is really beautiful man, a kind of dreaded hair
pulled back in a pony. He's someone sitting there. They are see it
at all, so I know it isn't too small. I can get this
so close. Just my eye can only make the windows so big. And
I'm okay, I'll eventually load them up into roll twenty. I just didn't
do it for today. I wasn't sure y'all were gonna get here. Hey,
we did it. You did it. And she says, we'll meet
you tomorrow. Yeah, for what I hope to be a fruitful journey.
She says, you do have a plan for us sneaking past the barricade,
right, Well, you know, I just found out about the need to
do that, so I'm still kind of working on it, but won't get
there. She says, Well, it's a good thing you've got a little
bit of time. Yeah. She says, good afternoon to all of you,
and welcome back to Coriolis. This is quite the welcome party. Thanks,
she says, it always is. She salutes you all, ask the
Legionnaires to kind of escort you out, and she leaves. The Legionaires leave
to go get all the equipment. They probably head to, like a proper
military gear place, leaving the three of you kind of standing and the mess
of people bustling around you. All Right, well, I guess we're going
to go get supplies now at least start placing orders. Yep. Is there
anything specifically y'all want to do before you head back to the vessel to kind
of wait out, because are gonna refuel you, get you set up with
your coordinates and all like, you aren't gonna have to worry about any of
that. More than likely when you return, they've already dropped off supplies.
Who wants to drink. Do you guys want to drink? I could use
a drink, Yes, you could use a drink. And I imagine that's
where we see the three of you are like, fuck it, We're going
to a cantina. Is that where Tamir goes? It's Tamir drink. If
he doesn't, I'm gonna drag him. He needs to go see an old
friend. Like now, maybe we actually see Tao and Seoul share a drink.
Two people that don't we don't often see share space and time together.
Next week we'll get to find out what they talk about over drinks. We'll
get to see Tamir go visit an old friend. But our camera ends tonight
with well, I say that cuts to two people in a box. Lamar
kind of sits there awkwardly. I imagine Malik sits there awkwardly. Do they
do you say anything? No, because like he's she's crazier than ever,
so he's kind of letting her adjust back to whatever her level of normalcy is.
So he's just like quiet and like there, like existing in the same
space. She probably doesn't say much, but she she does at one point.
So you know, I used to pretend I was sitting in a crate
when the monster used to hunt me in the jar. This was my safe
place. I mean I made a like a metal dom. It's not quite
a crate, but that's where I would go when thed You had a safe
place too, Yeah, from the worms in the local inhabitants. Where did
you go the planet? Well, I guess it's a moon sort of outside
alcohol called XR. Why there's ship crash there, Like, were you helping
people? One person ship crash there? Like I don't know, a couple
hundred years ago, I guess, wow or something like that. Well,
they were dead, but they had a book and the book had instructions on
how to get you out of a jar. So oh, it kind of
stops and like takes that moment in it gets stuck there for a while.
So I built a safe spot, went all the way to a junk planet
to get a book from a dead man to save me. Ah mm hmm.
Okay. Then there's like an awkward pause if it could get any awkwarder,
ye, and you hear like you hear like another like ripping of a
small amount of fabric, and he like reaches out through the darkness and like
pulls her hand back and unties the gross shitty shimog and ties like a new
one back on, and then sort of leans back in the box and his
back to quiet again. She smiles, and she simply says, I I
thought I had lost this. Yeah, it's right there the whole time.
Yep, the whole time. She kind of smiles across the box at you
and squeezes very tightly around the schumongen. Our camera pans out on the Defiant,
parked at Coriolis in somewhat seemingly normal way, but across the third Horizon
things are a flutter. An ancient god has been birthed from an accidental prison
break. For whatever reason, the portal to town has decided to regurgitate a
ship that has been lost for over a year, and for whatever reason,
the Darkness has decided that this team is destined to find out what happened to
the Severe. But our camera ends on Alia, a sleep locked in embrace
with I don't even want to call it an artifact, an item of great
evil and darkness, sleeping waiting under eyes on board the Defiant until next week.
