6
00:00:29.039 --> 00:01:21.959
for listening. Chapter twelve, Cricket. What sentient would you like to hear

7
00:01:22.000 --> 00:01:29.680
about next? What can you tell
me about me? Besides the hunter?

8
00:01:30.040 --> 00:01:34.640
Anomalies are the entities that we know
the least about. There is a possibility

9
00:01:34.680 --> 00:01:38.439
that you know more than the chroniclers
at this point, Hastings, I know

10
00:01:38.760 --> 00:01:45.920
very little about what anomalies are except
dangerous. Anything you might have left out

11
00:01:45.920 --> 00:01:49.200
before could helped me understand how to
control this is fat stuff. One of

12
00:01:49.239 --> 00:01:53.560
the first things the chroniclers note is
that anomalies cannot control is fat. It

13
00:01:53.640 --> 00:01:57.599
is chaos. We believe it simply
happens around you, but we know that

14
00:01:57.680 --> 00:02:02.319
isn't entirely true. I can shift
the lines. That is something I did

15
00:02:02.319 --> 00:02:07.240
not know prior to September, and
I meeting you if other more experienced chroniclers

16
00:02:07.240 --> 00:02:12.759
did know you could do that,
it was redacted from the archives. Why

17
00:02:12.800 --> 00:02:16.319
would anyone redact or remove information from
the chronicler archives. I thought you said

18
00:02:16.319 --> 00:02:23.039
that chroniclers don't have selfish ambitions for
power or control or anything like that,

19
00:02:23.520 --> 00:02:27.280
and they do not. While I
do have theories, I do not know

20
00:02:27.319 --> 00:02:30.159
why it would have been redacted from
the archives, or if it was.

21
00:02:30.280 --> 00:02:36.159
Now let's get back to the topic
of anomalies. Okay, there are eighty

22
00:02:36.159 --> 00:02:39.439
one anomalies born every year. Why
eighty one, I do not know.

23
00:02:40.080 --> 00:02:46.080
That doesn't seem like chaos to me
nor to me. Nonetheless, anomalies are

24
00:02:46.120 --> 00:02:50.919
considered to have ties to chaos.
We call this power the y isphet.

25
00:02:51.719 --> 00:02:54.560
At an early age, an anomaly
will unlock their abilities and their power will

26
00:02:54.639 --> 00:02:59.960
naturally grow over time. We call
the moment where an anomaly first accesses There

27
00:03:00.159 --> 00:03:05.000
is the tap. The tap typically
occurs in their late teens or early twenties.

28
00:03:06.240 --> 00:03:13.680
Before the tap are anomalies humans,
No, you were always an anomaly.

29
00:03:14.400 --> 00:03:16.520
There is no documented way to prevent
the tap, so the anomaly is

30
00:03:16.599 --> 00:03:22.360
always an anomaly, though they are
treated as humans by chroniclers until the tap

31
00:03:22.400 --> 00:03:28.319
occurs, oh anomalies will continue to
grow in their power until ANISFET event eventually

32
00:03:28.400 --> 00:03:31.599
kills them. Such an event will
typically result in a large loss of human

33
00:03:31.680 --> 00:03:36.919
and hidden life as well. It
is speculated that an anomaly who lives to

34
00:03:36.960 --> 00:03:40.199
the age of thirty may have enough
power to cause a cataclysmic event. That

35
00:03:40.360 --> 00:03:46.080
being said, different anomalies appear to
have different levels of power, somewhat stronger

36
00:03:46.120 --> 00:03:51.080
than others. Stronger anomalies may be
able to initiate cataclysmic events at a younger

37
00:03:51.120 --> 00:03:58.159
age. When you say stronger,
you mean much more deadly. I mean

38
00:03:58.199 --> 00:04:01.560
stronger. But there is a core
between strength of his fet and deadliness,

39
00:04:02.080 --> 00:04:06.479
and there's no way to stop these
events from happening. There is a successful

40
00:04:06.520 --> 00:04:15.960
method elimination of the anomaly, right
elimination. Ugh, you do not like

41
00:04:15.040 --> 00:04:20.759
that. So what about the Harbingers
again? This was something I was not

42
00:04:20.839 --> 00:04:26.519
aware of before my encounter with you. If the contra are correct, you

43
00:04:26.600 --> 00:04:30.879
could have up to four Harbingers.
Marcus appears to be your first. In

44
00:04:30.000 --> 00:04:35.160
theory, harbingers are able to identify
upcoming ISSFET events connected to their specific anomaly.

45
00:04:35.639 --> 00:04:41.040
We're still figuring out how that works
exactly. In the archives, it

46
00:04:41.079 --> 00:04:44.759
has noted that anomalies can see blue
lines that trace back to impacts of isphet

47
00:04:45.560 --> 00:04:48.720
anomalies. Having the ability to see
different colors is information that I also lack

48
00:04:48.800 --> 00:04:54.720
before meeting you and the dreams.
The dreams appear to be visions back into

49
00:04:54.720 --> 00:04:59.319
the lives of previous anomalies, your
ancestors in a manner of speaking. But

50
00:04:59.720 --> 00:05:02.959
what what they mean? I am
sorry, Emily, I do not know,

51
00:05:03.240 --> 00:05:08.079
and I don't have enough data to
formulate in appropriate hypothesis. I am

52
00:05:08.120 --> 00:05:11.680
doing my best to learn from you
and Marcus, but it will take time.

53
00:05:11.879 --> 00:05:16.920
And what if we don't have time? All right? Who's next on

54
00:05:16.959 --> 00:05:30.319
the list of the hidden? Emily
dreamt the same nightmares as she'd been having

55
00:05:30.360 --> 00:05:33.800
for months. Well, this nightmare
is not one of her vision dreams.

56
00:05:34.639 --> 00:05:42.720
It was born of one such Hastings
stood before her and asked if her name

57
00:05:42.800 --> 00:05:48.680
was Susan. Emily wordlessly nodded her
head, and the fear sank. In

58
00:05:48.720 --> 00:05:54.759
September pulled a large pistol from under
his coat, aimed the weapon at Emily,

59
00:05:55.360 --> 00:06:00.519
and pulled the trigger. Emily woke
with a gasp. It took only

60
00:06:00.519 --> 00:06:03.800
a moment for her to regain her
bearings. It was midday. She was

61
00:06:03.839 --> 00:06:11.240
with Marcus in Montana. Hastings in
September had already left Bolivia. She was

62
00:06:11.279 --> 00:06:15.879
safe, she hoped. Marcus entered
her room with a concerned expression on his

63
00:06:15.959 --> 00:06:21.079
face. Emily had left her door
propped open, and Marcus had likely heard

64
00:06:21.079 --> 00:06:30.079
her gasp. Hey you okay?
Yeah, just a bad dream. I

65
00:06:30.120 --> 00:06:34.480
didn't realize you were trying to sleep. Were you hoping to have another vision?

66
00:06:34.959 --> 00:06:39.839
No? I didn't even mean to
fall asleep. I was reading a

67
00:06:39.879 --> 00:06:46.240
book and it just kind of happened. Ah. Was it a vision?

68
00:06:47.399 --> 00:06:53.079
No, Marcus, just a bad
dream. I'm sorry. You just you

69
00:06:53.120 --> 00:06:57.519
look really pale. I didn't mean
to No, you're fine, it's not

70
00:06:57.839 --> 00:07:04.480
you. It's I don't know everything. I get it. I'm sorry,

71
00:07:04.800 --> 00:07:12.720
don't be it's stressful. Thanks.
It has been a while since I've had

72
00:07:12.759 --> 00:07:17.079
a vision dream. Hasn't it a
few weeks for you? Longer for me?

73
00:07:18.079 --> 00:07:21.519
Maybe I'm finished having them? God, I hope not. I think

74
00:07:21.519 --> 00:07:26.199
we could learn a lot more about
ourselves if you keep having them. Yeah,

75
00:07:26.480 --> 00:07:29.480
I think so too. It would
be nice if I could be in

76
00:07:29.639 --> 00:07:35.000
all the visions and not just random
ones. So I've been thinking about that.

77
00:07:35.480 --> 00:07:41.319
Oh yeah, the visions you're in
all have a harbinger for the anomaly,

78
00:07:42.279 --> 00:07:46.839
the ones you've missed. Don't you
think I can only get in if

79
00:07:46.839 --> 00:07:50.160
there's a harbinger from the past there
as well. So far that tracks.

80
00:07:51.240 --> 00:08:01.800
So was the nightmare about Harp and
the Contra? No why I have nightmares

81
00:08:01.800 --> 00:08:09.639
about them? Sometimes sometimes it's just
Harp in the cabin. Other times it's

82
00:08:09.720 --> 00:08:16.800
faceless Contra agents finding us. Send
They're not going to find us here?

83
00:08:16.720 --> 00:08:22.839
How can you be so sure?
September and Hastings are hundreds of years old.

84
00:08:22.240 --> 00:08:24.879
I'd like to imagine that they know
how to hide from the world when

85
00:08:24.920 --> 00:08:30.839
they want to. I guess so. Do you think the Contra will send

86
00:08:30.839 --> 00:08:35.080
other agents to find us? Maybe? Probably? I've been looking into them

87
00:08:35.080 --> 00:08:39.279
online. I think I've found a
few shell companies that they use, and

88
00:08:39.840 --> 00:08:46.960
several of them have very high profile
financial backers. But that's about all I've

89
00:08:46.960 --> 00:08:52.360
found so far. It turns out
investigating secret organizations is not something I'm very

90
00:08:52.399 --> 00:08:58.879
good at. It seems like it
would be a practiced skill. I'm sure

91
00:08:58.919 --> 00:09:03.799
you'll do better on your next secret
organization deep dive. I think I'm okay

92
00:09:03.840 --> 00:09:07.799
with just the one. Thank you
seriously, though, you think they'll send

93
00:09:07.799 --> 00:09:13.039
someone, Yeah, probably Hastings in
September, all but guarantee it. And

94
00:09:13.080 --> 00:09:20.279
they just left yep. And for
some reason you don't seem too concerned with

95
00:09:20.399 --> 00:09:26.279
their going. So you know that
nightmare I just had, the one not

96
00:09:26.840 --> 00:09:31.399
about contra. Yeah, well it
wasn't a vision dream, but it did

97
00:09:31.559 --> 00:09:35.799
come from one. Back before we
left Chicago, I had a vision dream

98
00:09:35.919 --> 00:09:41.240
and I haven't decided what I want
to do about it yet. What was

99
00:09:41.279 --> 00:09:48.240
it about? It was about September
and Hastings they found the anomaly host I

100
00:09:48.320 --> 00:09:52.960
was in. Then they killed her. Jesus, her name was Susan fucking

101
00:09:54.080 --> 00:09:56.559
Christ. Why didn't you tell me? I've never had a good time to

102
00:09:56.600 --> 00:10:03.360
tell you. They're always with us
or something is always going on. This

103
00:10:03.440 --> 00:10:07.279
is the first time they've really left
us on our own. Do you think

104
00:10:07.320 --> 00:10:11.600
that we can trust them to some
degree? But I think we need to

105
00:10:11.600 --> 00:10:16.720
be careful. The only people we
can truly trust right now is each other.

106
00:10:16.360 --> 00:10:22.000
Well that's depressing. No offense,
yeah, yeah, none taken.

107
00:10:22.399 --> 00:10:26.679
And on that note, I'm going
to go for a run a run.

108
00:10:28.440 --> 00:10:31.879
Do you think that's a good idea? Yeah, I'll be fine. I

109
00:10:31.919 --> 00:10:37.279
haven't had any visions and you aren't
seeing any lines right now. No lines.

110
00:10:37.360 --> 00:10:41.360
But when we are good, I
need some fresh air. There's some

111
00:10:41.840 --> 00:10:46.519
coffee in the kitchen if you want
some. I made a fresh pot about

112
00:10:46.639 --> 00:11:03.919
hour ago. All right, enjoy
your run, Marcus. Emily continued to

113
00:11:05.000 --> 00:11:09.759
lay in her bed, scrolling through
social media accounts on her smartphone. A

114
00:11:09.799 --> 00:11:15.360
cup of coffee sounded appealing, but
the nightmare still haunted her and she needed

115
00:11:15.360 --> 00:11:20.399
time to distract herself. For Emily, few things were more distracting than the

116
00:11:20.480 --> 00:11:26.360
cesspool that was social media. She
scrolled through a few different feeds looking for

117
00:11:26.399 --> 00:11:33.039
anything interesting before finally giving up.
She searched through Sam's page next, stopping

118
00:11:33.039 --> 00:11:37.480
to admire the recent photos of Triple, her cat that Sam was currently pet

119
00:11:37.519 --> 00:11:41.840
watching. She made sure not to
like or comment on any of the photos.

120
00:11:41.600 --> 00:11:46.559
She needed to stay invisible for now. From there, she continued on

121
00:11:46.639 --> 00:11:54.200
to Amber's page, and then on
to extended family. When she finally decided

122
00:11:54.240 --> 00:11:56.720
to keep her eyes a rest and
roll out of bed. Emily slid her

123
00:11:56.799 --> 00:12:01.200
smartphone into her back pocket and made
her way to the kitchen. As she

124
00:12:01.320 --> 00:12:05.039
poured a cup of coffee. She
heard a voice speak from the other side

125
00:12:05.039 --> 00:12:09.559
of the room. Hey, Emily, what's happening? Holy shit? Who's

126
00:12:09.600 --> 00:12:13.720
there? Where are you? What
are you? Calm down, it's okay,

127
00:12:13.759 --> 00:12:18.000
it's okay, it's just me.
It's just cricket. Who the fuck

128
00:12:18.080 --> 00:12:22.159
is cricket? And why can't I
see you? It's me Cricket. You

129
00:12:22.240 --> 00:12:26.759
know me? No, I do
not know any crickets. Yes, and

130
00:12:26.840 --> 00:12:31.720
tell me why I can't see you? Oh shit? Is this the first

131
00:12:31.799 --> 00:12:35.879
time? What? I don't?
Fuck? It is the first time?

132
00:12:37.559 --> 00:12:41.440
Wow? What the fuck are you
talking about? Okay, hold on,

133
00:12:41.639 --> 00:12:45.120
I can explain everything. Just just
give me, give me a second to

134
00:12:45.159 --> 00:12:50.360
gather my thoughts. No, tell
me right now. Who are you and

135
00:12:50.559 --> 00:12:54.799
where exactly you are? All right? Damn? Okay? My name is

136
00:12:54.919 --> 00:12:58.759
Logan. Uh, Logan Spanner.
You call me cricket though, and I'm

137
00:12:58.799 --> 00:13:03.639
an anomaly like you wait? Really? Yep? I'm an anomaly. Oh

138
00:13:03.799 --> 00:13:07.000
this is so great. I knew
this day would come, but I didn't.

139
00:13:07.000 --> 00:13:11.000
If you're an anomaly, then where
are you? Why can't I see

140
00:13:11.000 --> 00:13:16.519
you? Oh? Right? Okay? Where to sorry? Uh? Oh?

141
00:13:16.679 --> 00:13:20.159
I know, Emily? Do you
know how sometimes you have dreams about

142
00:13:20.200 --> 00:13:26.440
other anomalies in the past. Yeah, well that's what I'm doing right now.

143
00:13:26.000 --> 00:13:31.000
You are my past or you're in
the past for me. I'm bad

144
00:13:31.039 --> 00:13:35.279
with the phrasing for the time stuff. But I'm asleep right now and I'm

145
00:13:35.320 --> 00:13:39.440
talking to you in my vision.
Prove it. Uh, how do you

146
00:13:39.480 --> 00:13:43.320
want me to do that? Tell
me something that's going to happen in the

147
00:13:43.360 --> 00:13:48.799
future. Well, this is awkward. You specifically told me never to tell

148
00:13:48.840 --> 00:13:54.039
you anything about the future. Bullshit. No, seriously, that's your rule.

149
00:13:54.519 --> 00:13:58.360
I said, I didn't see how
it would matter, but you were

150
00:13:58.480 --> 00:14:01.440
out of it. I have no
I've ever spoken to you before, and

151
00:14:01.519 --> 00:14:05.159
I definitely did not say that.
Well, that's the thing. This is

152
00:14:05.240 --> 00:14:09.120
your first time talking to me,
but it's not my first time talking to

153
00:14:09.200 --> 00:14:13.919
you. What do you mean think
about it, Emily. Are your dreams

154
00:14:13.960 --> 00:14:20.559
in chronological order or do you dream
random events from random times? Oh?

155
00:14:20.960 --> 00:14:24.440
I see when I met you in
my past, your future, you told

156
00:14:24.440 --> 00:14:28.559
me not to tell you stuff about
the future because we weren't sure how this

157
00:14:28.639 --> 00:14:33.080
works. I guess that makes sense. All right, Fine, let's say

158
00:14:33.080 --> 00:14:39.759
you're right Logan, is it?
Yeah? That's weird. Now you said

159
00:14:39.799 --> 00:14:43.600
your name is logan. Right,
yeah, but you started calling me Cricket

160
00:14:43.639 --> 00:14:46.759
at some point. It was annoying
at first, but I've kind of gotten

161
00:14:46.840 --> 00:14:50.960
used to it. It's weird to
hear you call me logan. I got

162
00:14:50.000 --> 00:14:56.000
in trouble, sure, Cricket.
How are you doing this in your dream?

163
00:14:56.759 --> 00:15:01.919
I've had several dreams in and I've
never been able to communicate with others.

164
00:15:03.480 --> 00:15:07.200
Bizarre. I know, I'm not
positive how it works, but it

165
00:15:07.240 --> 00:15:11.919
seems to only work for me,
and only with you. I haven't been

166
00:15:11.960 --> 00:15:15.240
able to find any other anomalies that
can talk to people in the past,

167
00:15:15.600 --> 00:15:18.879
and so far you're the only person
that I seem to be able to visit

168
00:15:18.960 --> 00:15:22.960
more than once. You know,
other anomalies, Yep, a couple.

169
00:15:22.799 --> 00:15:28.960
This is great. I have so
many questions about how to use my powers.

170
00:15:28.879 --> 00:15:33.200
Where to start? Oh my god, this just keeps getting better.

171
00:15:35.399 --> 00:15:39.919
What now you have questions about how
to use your powers? Emily, You're

172
00:15:39.960 --> 00:15:46.360
the one teaching me how to use
mine? What No, I know nothing

173
00:15:46.440 --> 00:15:50.399
about ispet. You know more than
I do. In fact, I was

174
00:15:50.399 --> 00:15:54.639
hoping to learn more about the different
colors of ispet. You'd said that blue

175
00:15:54.639 --> 00:16:00.240
lines were for humans and sometimes inanimate
objects. More like, uh, it's

176
00:16:00.279 --> 00:16:03.759
the impact points. Red lines are
for animals, pink for plants, and

177
00:16:03.840 --> 00:16:06.559
maroon for shifters. I need to
get the rest of the colors from you.

178
00:16:06.840 --> 00:16:11.399
What No, wait, this can't
be right. All right, I

179
00:16:11.480 --> 00:16:15.759
need a second, Emily. I'm
really sorry, and I wish that I

180
00:16:15.759 --> 00:16:19.559
could say that we could pick this
conversation up later, after you've had time

181
00:16:19.600 --> 00:16:23.720
to process everything. But every time
I wake up from one of these dreams,

182
00:16:23.799 --> 00:16:27.919
there's a chance that I'll never see
you again. I need to get

183
00:16:27.960 --> 00:16:33.039
as much information as possible from each
dream. But I'm looking for information just

184
00:16:33.159 --> 00:16:37.679
like you. You're hoping that September
and Hastings can help you the same way

185
00:16:37.720 --> 00:16:44.080
that I'm hoping you can help me. So please help me before this dream

186
00:16:44.279 --> 00:16:49.320
ends. Okay, okay, So
what other colors do you know? I

187
00:16:49.360 --> 00:16:53.440
only know that chroniclers are green and
guys are orange. In fact, I

188
00:16:53.480 --> 00:16:59.679
didn't know the shifters or maroon.
I assume that means I meet one or

189
00:17:00.240 --> 00:17:04.000
about one. Fuck. I'm sorry
I fucked that up. I'm not supposed

190
00:17:04.000 --> 00:17:10.279
to give you information about the future. I'm sure it's okay now, future

191
00:17:10.279 --> 00:17:14.839
Emily would be super fucking annoyed with
me that I wasn't more careful. She

192
00:17:15.000 --> 00:17:21.680
seems fun. Wait, if you're
an anomaly, then why do you need

193
00:17:21.720 --> 00:17:23.839
me to tell you the colors?
Can't you see them? I can see

194
00:17:23.880 --> 00:17:27.680
the blue lines. All anomalies can
see the blue lines. You're the only

195
00:17:27.720 --> 00:17:30.599
person I know that can see the
different colors. I'm trying to figure out

196
00:17:30.599 --> 00:17:33.720
how to do it. I'm the
only one that can see the other colors.

197
00:17:34.119 --> 00:17:41.000
Yep, you and I are anomalies
among anomalies. I mean maybe I

198
00:17:41.039 --> 00:17:45.559
haven't met any other anomalies, so
there could be others like us. How

199
00:17:45.559 --> 00:17:49.240
many do you know? So far? I've only met three others from my

200
00:17:49.319 --> 00:17:56.240
anyad anyad. Yeah, anomalies have
groups of nine that we call ourselves any

201
00:17:56.279 --> 00:17:59.640
ads. We've only collected four so
far from mine. But I've talked with

202
00:17:59.640 --> 00:18:02.960
the other free extensively, and none
of them can do what I can do

203
00:18:03.359 --> 00:18:07.519
or what you can do. Cricket, How far in the future are you?

204
00:18:08.279 --> 00:18:12.279
What year is it for you right
now? Oh? Right, it's

205
00:18:12.599 --> 00:18:18.039
twenty twenty four, so that means
I'm one hundred and eight years later.

206
00:18:18.599 --> 00:18:23.720
Damn. So, last time we
talked, you were telling me about absorption

207
00:18:25.279 --> 00:18:30.200
absorption? What's absorption? Uugh?
Come on, how far back are we

208
00:18:30.319 --> 00:18:33.920
for you? Look, it's not
like you're helping me out here. I

209
00:18:33.960 --> 00:18:38.720
already told you that I don't know
anything. Fine, whatever, I guess

210
00:18:38.759 --> 00:18:45.720
we can just talk about your day
or something. How's your coffee? It's

211
00:18:45.799 --> 00:18:52.200
fine, cricket not to say that. I'm not thoroughly enjoying this conversation with

212
00:18:52.279 --> 00:18:59.000
my little imaginary friend. But how
long are you supposed to be hanging around

213
00:18:59.039 --> 00:19:03.680
in my head until the dream ends? Dreams are finicky that way. Actually,

214
00:19:04.400 --> 00:19:10.039
that brings up another question. How
are you in my head when there

215
00:19:10.160 --> 00:19:15.279
isn't an izfet event happening? Every
time I've had a dream, there's an

216
00:19:15.519 --> 00:19:22.400
isfet event happening around the anomaly I'm
dreaming about, or the anomaly is about

217
00:19:22.440 --> 00:19:27.640
to get killed. I don't know. I didn't know that was the case.

218
00:19:27.680 --> 00:19:32.920
Actually, I've had plenty of dreams
where the anomaly is just doing random

219
00:19:33.000 --> 00:19:37.400
stuff and there aren't explosions or or
anything strange. Oh hey, is that

220
00:19:37.440 --> 00:19:44.359
Marcus where through the window coming towards
the house. Oh yeah, he was

221
00:19:44.440 --> 00:19:48.720
just out for a run. I
really liked Marcus. Liked Yeah, he

222
00:19:48.839 --> 00:19:55.839
was a solid Harbinger was Harvingers are
so much harder to find now. None

223
00:19:55.920 --> 00:19:59.400
of the anomalies in my enniad have
one. I really hope I can find

224
00:19:59.400 --> 00:20:03.480
my own harbinger one day. Why
is it harder to find them? Cricket?

225
00:20:03.720 --> 00:20:10.160
Why is it harder to find them? Harder to find what? Not?

226
00:20:10.359 --> 00:20:18.240
You? Marcus? I was,
Emilie. Are you okay? Yeah?

227
00:20:18.359 --> 00:20:23.079
He's gone? Who's gone? Marcus? Well, it seems I have

228
00:20:23.200 --> 00:20:26.920
something new to add to the book
of strange things that keep happening to me.

229
00:20:48.799 --> 00:20:55.039
Hastings in September deboarded their plane and
made their way through the airport while

230
00:20:55.039 --> 00:21:00.759
the international flight was taxing. Neither
of the two would voice complaints during their

231
00:21:00.799 --> 00:21:04.720
travels. The duo had sailed across
the Atlantic in an incredibly uncomfortable ship.

232
00:21:07.920 --> 00:21:12.200
After such a horrid seafaring experience,
a long distance flight was a welcomed means

233
00:21:12.200 --> 00:21:18.119
of travel. The two hailed a
cab and shortly thereafter were dropped off in

234
00:21:18.160 --> 00:21:22.440
the city. After retrieving their packs
from the trunk of the vehicle, the

235
00:21:22.480 --> 00:21:26.880
two began to walk down the busy
street. It is nice to be back

236
00:21:26.920 --> 00:21:33.319
in warm weather, wouldn't you say? September Yeah, I would agree November

237
00:21:33.359 --> 00:21:37.759
in Montana is slightly less comfortable than
November and Libya. I am excited to

238
00:21:37.759 --> 00:21:41.920
get to the archives. It is
nice to be back, probably a little

239
00:21:41.920 --> 00:21:47.759
more nice for you than me.
Why do you say that, Hastings,

240
00:21:48.400 --> 00:21:52.319
You have a beautiful apartment all to
yourself in the archives. You have your

241
00:21:52.359 --> 00:21:57.680
own assigned space as well. No, Hastings, I have a bunk room

242
00:21:57.960 --> 00:22:03.680
shared with three others in a barracks
occupied by over two hundred other guides.

243
00:22:03.279 --> 00:22:10.039
That hardly classifies as my own space. September. The likelihood of any of

244
00:22:10.039 --> 00:22:12.000
your three roommates being there at the
same time as you is pretty low.

245
00:22:12.440 --> 00:22:18.000
They're likely all out with their partners
performing investigations. That's not the point,

246
00:22:18.039 --> 00:22:22.319
Hastings. It was your decision to
come here. I know, I know.

247
00:22:22.319 --> 00:22:27.480
Let's just get what we came here
for and continue on. I'm more

248
00:22:27.519 --> 00:22:30.160
than a little concern that we will
not be able to gain access to the

249
00:22:30.200 --> 00:22:36.519
restricted archives. We will figure something
out when we get inside. We need

250
00:22:36.559 --> 00:22:41.200
to see what has been redacted.
If chronicler Dean has redacted information regarding anomalies,

251
00:22:41.720 --> 00:22:45.720
it is for the good of all
chroniclers. If he thought it beneficial

252
00:22:47.000 --> 00:22:52.039
he wouldell us, I think we've
earned the privilege to determine that for ourselves.

253
00:22:52.000 --> 00:22:56.240
Have we There is no reason to
distrust Chronicler Dean. If he believes

254
00:22:56.240 --> 00:23:00.599
it best, we should respect his
decision. Remind you that chroniclers cannot lie

255
00:23:00.640 --> 00:23:04.920
and do not hold the same self
motivated ambition as the other sentience. No,

256
00:23:06.319 --> 00:23:10.960
you need not remind me, Fantastic, then we are in agreement.

257
00:23:11.240 --> 00:23:17.000
No Hastings, we are not,
and we've been through this. How likely

258
00:23:17.119 --> 00:23:21.680
is Chronicler Dean to give us access
to any secret archives? Not likely?

259
00:23:22.400 --> 00:23:27.039
And how likely is it that there
are secret archives? Very likely? And

260
00:23:27.240 --> 00:23:33.000
if Chronicler Dean has come to the
conclusion that this information should be kept quiet

261
00:23:33.039 --> 00:23:37.640
for security reasons, how likely is
it that you would agree with this assessment

262
00:23:37.000 --> 00:23:42.519
after reviewing the contents as well?
Again? Very likely? Then it won't

263
00:23:42.519 --> 00:23:48.680
do any harm for us to see
what's in the archives. You sometimes underestimate

264
00:23:48.720 --> 00:23:53.519
how much harm the two of us
continue to cause. I'm ignoring that we

265
00:23:53.559 --> 00:23:59.519
stick to the plan. We go
in and report as normal. You can

266
00:23:59.559 --> 00:24:04.079
begin your debrief and I will see
what I can learn regarding any restricted areas.

267
00:24:04.759 --> 00:24:10.039
Okay, September I will refer to
you as my guide. Though I

268
00:24:10.079 --> 00:24:15.920
do not like this path, I
know you don't and thank you for trusting

269
00:24:15.960 --> 00:24:19.359
me. At the risk of annoying
you, I am going to change the

270
00:24:19.400 --> 00:24:25.240
subject to what the two humans that
have been following us since we'd left the

271
00:24:25.279 --> 00:24:29.400
airport over your left shoulder. One
has a green Polo shirt and the other

272
00:24:29.440 --> 00:24:36.279
has a floral button up contra.
Seems like they weren't on the plane,

273
00:24:36.680 --> 00:24:41.839
which means we pick them up at
the airport. So they're either specifically looking

274
00:24:41.880 --> 00:24:45.880
for us or they know the Chroniclers
have roots in Libya. Either option is

275
00:24:47.039 --> 00:24:51.759
not appealing. There's a hotel up
around this corner. Let's go in and

276
00:24:51.799 --> 00:24:56.119
book a room, then we can
leave through the southeast exit. We need

277
00:24:56.160 --> 00:25:03.640
to lose them before we go to
the archives. Emily Swanson is voiced by
