We're trying to hit a hundred subs by the end of June, which I think you guys just helped us get to. Uh did you guys already feel Oh? I don't think they did. I think I just got to reset it from last week. I had just had a panic attack. Um. If you guys want to be a part of the conversation, to join us over in our discord. And last, but not least, we like to think our show producer of The Awkward Company, What's Immedia company focused on elevating content creators and assisting in their production value and growth.

By the way, that being perfect, that being said, I'm going to turn things over if you want. Yeah. Uh, that's a different kind of sponsorship. I am going to turn things over to Dot, who is currently half full of chicken so she can destroy our emotions. Oh I did have chicken. Um, I don't know that I'm half full of it, but I'm half full of a lot of your dinner. Play looks so good like hot air. It's true. I'll get to it soon, maybe when this is done. Okay, so um uh, well we should probably recap. We should probably recap, you know what. I should also probably turn my mic so that it's better for all of you. I'm a little scattered everybody at home. Here we go. Look at that? Does that sound better? Oh my yeah, yeah, I thought so. Okay, I've got Joey approval, so now we can actually get going. Last week we spent a little bit of an extended episode and kind of two person scenes really, as the team took a bit of a rest on a kind of soggy, barely dry piece of a building that has not suckn entirely below the swamp, and here they were able to tend their wounds as best they could to Miror. Specifically, we had a very heartfelt moment between our two brothers where for the first time in two seasons, they they stopped worrying about protecting each other, and they answered for their own faults to each other, and I think that was a big moment for them. But while they brode it up, Seul and Tao took it upon themselves to begin making a little bit of a plan. They were going to need to cross this swampy sunken city, and ideally stealth was important. But in their planning, Soul spotted two figures, thanks to a corruption bar that we're running across this swampy sunken city, and did give them a whole lot of information other than exactly where they were headed and how to get there. So when the crew was all done and they had talked it out, they went over to the palace, this sunken palace here talent a mirror, had a premonition they saw through Julius's eyes out over the backside, found the medical facility at least in sight, and oh right, oh right. Seul took a little another little stealthy mission into the palace, maybe to scout ahead, and found very little other than darkness, both literally and literally. And it was some mirrors use of his glasses that showed a very large horde of shadowy type figures that seemed to be living in the bowels of this sunken palace that they are going to have to pass through to get to the other side, to the medical facility. And we pick up with talents to mirror. Seuel knows what's up now, So I suspect the rest of the party is probably preparing for a journey through and ideally back. But you both just shared in a rather intense vision. And Tamir has an eyeful of the grumbling belly of this this palace in front of him. I'm gonna need to go to Jelousa And though when those she is now, yeah, won't be guessing at doors. That's a good thing. We also know Cash is probably somewhere to the right, so we'll want to go that way. We can take a moment to map out a little bit of what we saw, give it to the others in case we're separated. It's a good idea. Mark the doors. I thought, we know that's in there at least. Yeah, all right, m h tal um before fuck you know what, Mike, go the fuck away. Goodbye, God, You're out of here, all right? Fucking shit? Uh I what what what happened back there? Um? What I did to you. M hm hm, it was wrong, and whatever is left in my soul, I am truly sorry who the harm have caused you. And in an algalum my people believe that forgiveness is not to be asked for by the one who causes harm, and instead it is a m amitzvah, a gift that only you can give, if you ever choose to. And if the heart that caused you cannot be forgiven by earthly means, then it is my responsibility to atone with the judge. I have done unforgivable things in the past twenty four hours alone. There is so much darkness here and it has left me blind to the only light that truly matters. I love you, talk Tom, and I'm so sorry as you are. As you go on, tells expression starts out kind of disbelieving and mistrusting, like okay, here we go again. But as you continue talking, her expression stoppens, and being this close to her and intent on her face for the first time, you realize her her right eye is actually kind of translucent, mechanical maybe, but before you actually have like it fully registers and you finished talking. She just wraps her hands behind his neck and pulls him down to kiss him. If I mean, if he will bend down to willow it, you will bend down in all you wrap his arms around her. Um, And after I'm sure a few moments, she pulls away and says, tam O the side you better could be coming back home to that ship. You'd better come home to me. It's a mirror the darkness meme, the sickness that has been plaguing you. That purpose to live or lack thereof, is not lacking anymore. You no longer suffer from this meme. Right. You get to be scared now exactly. Your gut drops out, not just because Tao kissed you, but because you realize that you have to come back and that was not your plan. Um. We'll make it through this time together, Okay, Yeah, don't worry. I'll protect you. You always do you guys. And then I uh let go and start walking over to the rest of the group. Do where where? Where? Where am I at this again? I suspect that you've taken the roomba. Remember that came like hockey puck sliding down to your feet, um and maybe trying to fix your drone. Um. So I'm actually like pulled up to the side, but it's there's no they're out in the open um. You could, if you wanted, uh, make an observation. I suspect you're probably busy, like you're not all eyes on them. I think Lumar is probably the only one that's staring. If there's no real reason, I'm not gonna like, there's no point what they did not make. I don't think they made any Like No, it was haunted hiding. Yeah, that's really a big thing. So I would think because the world was shut out for sure, Soul is an observative gent. That's your job, at least in the infiltration world. You need to be hyper aware. You probably know out of your peripheral peripheral vision that um that they just lip blocked, and if nothing else, you might have been able to pick up on parts of their whispered conversation. As I'm repairing my roomba, Soul just kind of like, huh, and I just go back to repaying my room. Ba I mean, I mean drone damn every time, like it's a floating room. I can't call him Gizmo anymore because I etched that name out, So I want to on the side it now says rumba, I'm just saying, um okay. Lamara, on the other hand, is not hiding the fact that she has been watching intently. She's probably just staring like big old wide eyed. If she's the anime girl, it's like right now so um like big guys and total like dirp uh so she is. Mike knows exactly what I'm talking about. That's why he looks like that right now. Um, she's just like, you can clip that. That's gonna be a gift. Uh yeah, and oh a new follower, what you need to do is you need to cut the audio exactly as she says beats. Every time someone follows it just goes I'm sorry, So we'll work on that another day. That being said, Lamara is in full on anime girl like like just watching with the just the biggest doe eyes. Um, this hopeless romantic just with his unrequited love become a whole um it just yeah, okay, I don't don't remember where I was. Yeah, I'm looking for Malik. The last thing I remember is they went into their mind meld. They're vulcan mind meld. And then I told I told Seul to go away, and then I had a moment with Lamara and then Soul's ship crashed. Yeah, so back, So I think I'm just standing with Lamara. I guess I would have seen this too. We'll walk up next to Lamara and Malik. I guess all three of us are now staring. Yeah, I think, I think, I think like, I think like Blik is just dead of there with like a headcock to the side, which is like the opposite of a Lamara space GM. I would like to prepare an action the moment both of them look at our direction, I would like to do something. Well what I'm doing the get up and they turn around. Yeah, I have at it. Uh so we got what you're clapping like, Um, your space is just beat red. This is a proper action, correct, Yeah, you please stop still please, Um, you lie to me. No, that's the right one. We have a layout. I walk over and pick that good point in the ground and start. Uh. I pull out a knife and start drawing in the sand the layout of the inside. Um. I mark the door that um Kasha looked through and I said, there's a patient in here with a couple doctors. I point to the one that I saw Julissa go in, and I say, this is where Julissa is. I need to go to that room. Then I say, Kasha went this way before we lost her. I don't think Malik is paying attention at all. He is just arms crossed and just has a big shit eating grim as he's just looking at I imagine Lamar's burrowing eyes in Malie as well. I'm paying attention. Romance is in the air when the going gets I don't even think he notices. I don't think he notices Lamara. He's too fixated. I'd imagine like like, well that kind of like knowing look, which is just like sheepishly looked away, like oh a map, great, So yeah, everybody focus on something else. That's exactly what tal was doing. What is what is our plan here? Well, um, I think, didn't you just go somewhere? I did, and I explained that there are creepy things there. However, there is across the creepy things the door that you or you're that person saw through the balcony area leads there. I don't know what's past that, but the door is there. I gotta you gotta walk through the creepy hallway circular shadow figure things. And I don't know if you guys want to do that or not, but Mere you know what's down there. You've seen it, and you remember you also deduced that whatever goo was on UM, the drone that came back like injured or broken UM was bionic um um by like biologically connected to them in some way, as if maybe UM it's like a spider in its web, they're interconnected. You touch it, they're aware. I think Lamar told us that, Yes she did, but she told all of you that, so it is direct knowledge and we kind of recognized it also from the ship. It's the same spider web. No, it's more like a black moldy Well, I meant like the functionality of it, like it connects to all the other like you now probably you actually realize seeing it on this thing, that there's actually this black stuff everywhere. It's it's in small crevices here there, and so you might have been able to tell that it was probably all over the place on the inside of when you went inside to scout the temple, I mean, and that thinks pretty much. I don't know, but it might be there's a lot of it in the area, So I don't know what the objective is here. We can go through that way. There is another tunnel that leads somewhere it seems to go lower, or we can go through you know the other option, which is the big scaffolding them. We should probably go the way you've already scouted out, because you know the layout of it. If we already know that there's oh well, I just know that there's scary things there. Um, you have a you have what you think is general knowledge of how to get from one access point of like outdoor light to the next access point of outdoor light, because like you went through and remember you saw the room with these like strange statut figures inside of it, though did I because I don't think I was able to you did not get farther than that room. But on the far side of that room it went into another space that seemed to be bringing in daylight possible, So there is more that possibly is leading out to the opposite side of what's left of this Okay zero, I mean, yeah, I guess we can go that way. We just gotta stay close watch her steps. Again, I'm not too sure what contact with that stuff we'll do, So Oh, I mean, that's stuff serious to be everywhere. So hey, Dot, is it reasonable that there would be a stick nearby? Mike, have you ever been to a swamp? No? Dot, I live in the northeast. Of course, there are fucking snakes in the swamp. It's why it's called the sticks. Well, okay, there, it's called the sticky stuff. Find yourself. So I as they're talking about like touching the goo, I pick up a stick and I'm going to poke at it on the room. What are you? What are you doing? What did you just hear what she said? I'll be honest, I can't touch it. You can't touch it. I did. I wasn't listening. I'm not gonna lie. Car boys, UM, I do need to me? Or do you sell your glasses to that setting? Or did you put them back? Oh? When when were the Oh? God, now I don't remember the talk with Yeah, it was the last thing you said. That was the last thing we ended on last. Oh was you seeing all of them that they're probably still on the moment Malik touches this thing, the horde down below becomes um. They're an unrest they they um, It's like something stirs them up. A little bit leek. Stop now does it move at all? It moves like a moldy jellow. But it's not like it doesn't like no, it's not like reaching for you. It's it's more of um. It's like what they might leave behind. It's like a biscuit kiss. Uh what touch it again? Okay, quickly he does, and like Timmy is watching the area. Uh, the same reaction when what I touch it again? It again? Yeah? They you see them, It's like them because all you're really seeing is like the silhouette of them, because you're seeing through the foundation and water. Um, and they're not coming up, They're not coming out with a lot of detail. It's just the silhouette of them. And every time he pokes it, they it's like they rise up. It's like somebody tips a glass of water and they begin like jumping on each other and trying to like reach for the ceiling as if there's an exit. It oaksets thing as its Tamir looking at the ground. Yeah, what direction is he is? He would have to be. He would have to be looking at the cigarette and at least somewhat towards the ground because this is under the bottom of it. I took my head towards Tamir, and I'm just gonna be like, do you see something? Yes, that's what these glasses do. What do you see? I don't know, but it is dark. This is concerning deeply, so yes, what is it doing? Is it doing anything? Every time that Malik has touched his stay it? Whatever is there? Response? Okay, well maybe we should probably probably not touch it because actually got to pass that way. Actually have an idea. Keep looking at the invisible monsters. And he takes the stick that he has and throws it into the water. Does anything happen? Okay, good, then you didn't hear my initial Mike, is that what you choose to really do? Please? Fucking fuck? Yeah? Okay, does anybody want to make an imposing role because I do feel like I should give you the chance. Oh, you've got fast reflexes. I'm sorry the water catch it. I also would like to try to catch this. Okay, I'm only gonna to make it a fair fight. I'm only gonna allow one of you to do it. Mike, you have to roll. Um. I would guess this is some kind of force. Um. I would also just take the agility piece of it to like land it in the water. It's not really a test for you, but I need to have a number to go against. I will give you agility. What am I doing? Um? Some um, you're I will You're gonna make a dexterity check. Soool to catch the stick failed? What right? He goes to throw it and soul not actually very closely, like reaches out and catches it moments before it would have plumped into the water. What the hell? Why would you do that? What makes you think after he just said that there is something upsetting throwing this into an unknown body of water, which, by the way, we saw hands crawling out of those weren't hands, those were worms, worms coming out of would be benefit? Is that dot saying that on? Lamar is saying lamar, okay, because that was whatever things we don't know who, we don't actually know when she's yeah, that's why. So yeah, no, we don't touch the water stick of the water. Yeah, Look, when we when the when the animal jumps in the thing, listen, No, when the animal jumped in the water, things reach up to grab it. Correct. So if the same thing that you're seeing reacts the same way when a stick is in the water. Then the water is also connected to this, and that they might grab you down there. That thing might have just grabbed all of us and come up like why would you do that? Because I was trying to figure it out. Yeah. No, we did not poke the things, especially if we have to move past them. I mean we've literally always pad thing. Okay, new rule, don't poke the things. I start walking in the direction that we're supposed to be heading. I am done with this conversation. I know she said not to poke the thing, but to me, we'd like to grab like a vial from the portable lab. What is with you too? You guys got to fuck up a bunch of I'm dead and okay, you want to try to capture some mum. That's easy enough, easy enough. It doesn't It doesn't seem to harm you. It's not acidic or harmful any way. It doesn't even seem it is definitely organic. But it doesn't seem to be like a fungus. It's not. It doesn't. It's not a bacteria. It's not trying to eat away at you. It's just sticky and ikey, perfect poke a bottle it m yep, I'm just gonna keep that on his person for now. Oki Doki, very you can't believe you have come. Well, I need to know if it was gonna jump up. Maybe it only attacks he said, No, I said that was going to jump up. Yeah, but maybe it only attacks the creature and it doesn't attack sticks. Hey, you two what we're literally in an unknown area, surrounded by things that could kill us, driving here on a boat almost kill us. Stop fucking touching things. And then I want to start walking. Don't you climb into zigarotte almost fall in? Yes, that's what I'm dreating for. Shut up, and then I continue walking. Great at falling has a sul has dropped a rope down from what little bit of entrances left that comes kind of comes down this very slippery uh moss covered uh plane uh, and so that you can use basically a rope to bilet yourself up to the top. Okay, you want to show us how you how not to fall? I give him a leak, good Claire, and then I start climbing. I'm not trading it, not falling, Okay, um I need uh. If I fall, I'm gonna quit. I'm just letting you though. Right now, I will take either you can do the strength based or you can do this agility based. I believe that they are. You have a plus two because of the rope. Okay, cool, I'll just do Oh I did a plus two on I just realized I did the plus two on the agility save. I mean the dexter already say what the stick and the last two was the six, So I don't know if that counts either way. I can't retroactive item. You want me to sacrifice this damn stick. I'll make a whole fucking scene of it. No, no, no, I'm just I'm just stick stick. Please. Um. It starts out, it sounds out pretty good, soul looks professional. Grabs the rope, but about halfway up you can see that there's a little bit of struggle. If Seuel is struggling, there's a possibility you all might as well. It is a very difficult climb. I'll just go your next Let me go roll it up. Pick one strength or agility agility? Can I help it anyway? You gotta get yourself to the top. Once he gets up there, yes, you can give him a hand or okay, same thing. You find the same kind of slippery patch exactly where Sewel's feet left these like skid marks, um where he ran in place for a minute. Um, at least, just looks back down, he says, don't step in the skid marks when you look back. Lamara is not waiting in line to climb the rope. She's a few feetback and seems to be in some kind of She stands there in this kind of limpless way, staring up at like not even up at the cigaratte through it. She stars through it, and her mouth kind of lays a gape. Is She just looks like she is listening to something intently. She's completely unaware that all of you have started your climb. But yeah, tw is aware of this. I kind of look at Lamara, Hey, are you okay? That song song? You don't hear it? No, but you said that she heard a song before, so beautiful and sad. I'm sorry, Um what you must think I'm nuts? Um right, No, I can climb Lamara. I grab her on the shoulders and I look her dead in the eye. I say, Lamara, you are not nuts. You can sense things that we can't. And if you're saying you hear a song and it's beautiful and sad. I completely believe you. I don't know, but it's coming from over there. And she like again she points towards the cigarette, but you know that she's pointing through it. Well, if you're getting louder than just you know, just let me know and we'll see. We'll see where it goes. Okay, okay, yeah, yeah, okay, but try not to let it distract you, right right, No, we have we have to get through. And hey, you know, we could find out when we get to where we're going what that song is. Yep, she kind of she wants you you know what rolland empathy. M h yeah, nope, she was. Of course, you're right, we'll definitely find out where it's coming from. And she doesn't even stop as she walks right past you up to the rope or the line. Um, who's next? You do have to have a succel success um one success. Oh, she's up micro Lamar uncle. Last she did not succeed. Lamara does not succeed and comes sliding down the ramp. I'll do my best to catch her to your feet. She's dirty now, she's dirty, um, and there's like a little skid mark of lumara. Um. She wears a white lab coat, which is all wrong um for this, but what can you do? Um? And she goes, whoops, it's okay, that looks really slippery. Um. You want to try again? You first. I was gonna go last, just to make sure already made it you first. She looks at Tamir. Tamir's gonna look at this. There's a rope and it's slippery. Be careful, like you don't already know that? Thank you? Uh? What was this? Just just decks. You can choose agility or strength, whichever is, and you have a plus two because yeah, yeah, I got I got one more strength. Okay, cool? Yeah you see? Uh to mir, same thing that slippery spot is. It's it's a doozy uh. But tame Or uses up her body strength to pull himself instead of dexterity. That's that little suit you wear is getting workout and uh yeah, sound effects it's what favorite that. I don't mind. It's not the storytelling, just just the fully work. That's what I'm here for. Mouth fully okay. Oh my gosh, I love you Doug so much about listen. I do it too. I make like chair creep noises and door noises, so like the same ago. Let me tell you you know what. Here, here's a does learning moment with Dot as a GM. You should apply storytelling to all of the senses sight, sound, taste, smell, and touch. This has been as with Dot and if you're lucky, heart, we actually left him, but this time with his monkey. This is called void mica. Where were we before? Mouthfully? What a heart? Here? Okay, tamere climbed. It's even on the map. Oh yeah, it's mere climbed. It's lumara. Try try again. I'm here to make sure you don't. Paul I hate yourself. We could throw another room, pull you up. She did it. She did it. She's very proud of herself. She definitely looks a little flustered to have to do so much physical work, but she is appreciative of what I'm hoping is Malik's hand that helps her up at the top. Of course it is, yes, she probably is like, oh, as he pulls her up, she makes a thing of it. Now you're not the same thing. It's it's a tough climb, but you are more nimble on your feet and do exactly what everybody's been telling you to do, which has avoid the slick spots, which is where everybodys already worn it down. Yeah, and all of you now stand at the top of the cigarette. It's one of the highest points left actually here. And if you look out back the direction you came, you can see the rest of this sunken temple from the opposite direction and the monolith. Sameer who saw it was to me, or wasn't it that saw the image from the we're getting close. We're getting real close to that point, the one that you had the vision about from the perspective up looking at monolith in the distance. Wasn't that you too? Yeah? That was the the two of us were in the eyes of Sholey. Oh and you and you saw out because you're getting close to your triangulation, um twel and I would say then because you guys shared it so tale and tom or see it, you might even look at each other with that knowledge of like that feeling of um deja vu, Right, that's what it feels. You're like, uh, we're getting close like that. It's where it's happening. Um. And it's a little unsettling, and the opening behind you is very dark and um pretty damp um, having rotted away in the swamp. Well. I draw one of my guns and I say, are we going in? Or are we just going to stand here admiring the via? So go, okay, yeah, I ready my rifle. Soul's going in first, I am. Indeed we're at the top part those I have to go down the stairs and curve around the right. Yes. So you basically walk in and you all see what you actually walk into. UM seems to be it's at the top of this this palace, or um possibly the temple of this palace, um, which means you're in either some kind of sacrificial chamber or of of old. There's like a slab that's been partially degraded. Um. There is um no other opening as you walk in except for a m a stairwell, as Seul points out, two that goes down. I mean, I'm gonna start making my way towards the stairwheel, because that's where we wanted to go. Can I just get a marshing order? I was just gonna ask, how, what what are we doing? I will be first, cool, that makes sense. I will be second. I feel like it's just the order we climbed in great perfect love. It tell him that Tamir and Lamar sandwiched. Um. Okay, next question, Seul, do you have any kind of special abilities regarding um like your senses? Not okayan sense? Does anybody have anything like that that I need to be aware of, like you can't be snuck up on or anything like that. No, however, is it dark? It is dark? Okay, it's very dark, I think at least. Well, I say that this room is kind of once you get on the stairwell, it starts to get dark. Huh dot, I'm sending you a message of an ability in chat. Cool. Also that I have a proximity sensor and I have my drone. Great, No, no, you don't get roll to fix that drone. We can retroactively roll to fix it if you want to. But it is it is a bad shape. Oh then forget. But your proximity UM sensor is it's just on you. Um, it's like on your wrist. I don't know why. I imagine it looks like a pit boy. Um. Yeah, like that's what all sci fi has. Little yeah, yeah, it's like an arm wrist thing. It's like somewhere between. Yeah, it's kind of like he's got that combo uh sensor with the with the drone drone view on the side too. Yeah, it's like a whole arm piece. Okay, all integrated. It's great. As soon as Malik sees how dark it is in there, he just kind of stops. Does anyone have a flashlight? Actually, I've got you one better. And I reach up behind my ear and impressed a button. And then suddenly my right eye turns red and fills the chamber with red light, like a beam of light, like a like a lighthouse. Out of Towel's eye shoots this red light. Um it. Because Twel's at the back, it lights all of you against the wall. Your shadows grow big, and the space fills with kind of a red dim light, and it grows in intensity as you go into the darker areas. As soon as the beam comes out of Twel's face, the leak turns back to Tamrror and goes, you're about robots and then and then it starts walking down the stairs. Seul's gonna mutter our one of those, okay. Well, as Soul takes the lead and begins eking down the stairs, you get to the same place. This kind of landing that looks into a very dark room, rather large in size, a gathering hall of some kind if this was a palace or a temple, big high ceilings, but all uh sorry, thank you. Um, it stands empty. It doesn't have the figures as I saw before. Curious they are gone. Well, I have my nights scope, so I'm going to use it before I enter the hall, or like before I even get like close to the entrance of the hall, just kind of use it to peer around. You see what you're in, what you actually see. What you actually see is that it's not that all of these figures are gone. It's about half of them are gone, and the ones that remain are kind of deep in the corners and the shadows. Um, about half of them. I leaned back to let the rest of the group. Now, those figures that I mentioned, it seems some of them aren't here anymore. I'm sorry. What, Yeah, No, they're not here anymore. How does that? What does that mean? Does that mean you like you were wrong you didn't see them, or like, no, I definitely saw them, It's just they're not here anymore. Well, everybody keep an eye out from where they might have gone. There's a few in the corner of the room, though I can't get a good look at what exactly they are. They're kind of it's almost like so the first time you came in, it was like somebody set up a chessboard right perfectly, Like all of these things were out. Now it's like if you took half of them and tossed them, so you're you may still have to like dodge here, dodgs or walk around what's left in this room without touching what do they look like? They're human sized this far out and you're only in a nice group. They're human sized. They seem to possibly have been statues of some behind there in like odd poses, like normalized poses. Um, that's what you can discern from here. Um. If you want to go in, you can get more information. Do they have any type of like essence to them? Are they ethereal in nature? Like a spirit? Dark morph? Phantom? Um No, I'm trying to figure out. Are you using the glasses to know that? Yeah? Yeah, uh no, um, not that not that you can tell they actually look um to be Oh, you don't have your suit on through this, you have to like flip It looks like they're actually stone. The ones that are left here can't move because they're actual statues. Um and based on what you can tell, they are very de structured. Time has not been kind to them. There's a possibility you could touch them and they can dust. It's like charcoal, is what's left. Well, that's not to touch anything then, right, tell yeah, general world, don't touch anything on you merrily stroll all right. I will make my path as close as very carefully and just try to keep a safe distance from them. Said that spooky statues, I guess yeah. As you walk in, you really realize the statues, though of human form, are a little large. They stand close for like seven or eight fither kind of big statues that are on these bases. The air is kind of filled with this dusty charcoal, fungus, smold. It's everywhere. It's the way that ash floats in the air. You can it's almost like you step in and you can feel it, you can taste it. Lumara grabs Malik's belt loop a little bit and pulls a little closer. It's rather terrifying in here. And tale is your eye shines this single beam of light around to help illuminate for everybody. Red and black shadows of these massive figures splash themselves across the wall in this rather unnatural and scary way. As long as somebody does anything stupid, you can pretty much walk across. There's no need to roll to like dodge in and out of an animica objects, no throwing of sticks or anything. Where are you looking at me? Great? Perfect? The five of you make it to the other side of the brim. This space opens up into You see where the natural light is coming from a set of windows. Look out over the opposite side of the zigarette rather high. In fact, it seems that the opposite side has sunk little lower, but has some solid ground, and you can see the medical facility through the growth. You can also see from here that the medical facility seems to be between you and the towers that are kind of out there. You will have to pass pretty much completely through it to do it without going through the jungle. Proper soul, you probably who's got okay, you've got okay? Yeah, I know which one you've got. Tal So you see footprints in the dust. You can see a well tracked path of people that cross in and out of here. Quite frequently. They all stay though on a very kind of rigid walk path. Well, it seems like we should follow this, and I kind of like point down at the pathway. There's no other footprints like anywhere else, right, it's just that one little pathway. Correct, It seems to kind of lead. It's almost like you come into a hallway has like windows and it's gonna hang a left up here and go into new space. Yeah, okay, definitely don't want to not step on things that people have ready, they've been stepping on. So okay, I look at the party, like, do we go stay in the tracks, be careful? Okay, they might know we're here already. You walk in this lovely single file line, you hang a left, and you go down another hallway. It's as if the inside of this large zigaratte is in in itself, this multi tier labyrinth. Small room here that stands empty, stands the darkness that consumes it. But you, as you continue and try to follow these feet, you pass one room. It is large and underutilized in terms of the way that everything else is, and in the center of it is a very large hole, not damn it soul. As you pass by, you can't help, but notice it leading the party to Mir. You still have your glasses on. This is the hole they're trying to get to. That's a big hole. How it's not an ambush because there's nothing planned about it. But whatever rumbles below your feet or whatever to Mir keeps talking about. They're watching you. They know you are here. Your instincts tell you. The hair stands up on the back of your neck. Keep moving. Do you want to move quietly? You're just gonna keep going. Oh, I'm gonna cool, go quiet all. Look, this is quiet. To get it, I am going to have to get a dexterity or an agility from everybody to maintain your stealth um. Otherwise you can just walk through, but you might be hurt. Have a limited succeeds infiltration. Oh wait, would probably also work for you. You could. I could take an infiltration if that's better for you. Already had limited success, however, Okay, I mean a success is success. I just oh, thank god that was from Wake. Okay, Hosy, I'm gonna give you a darkness point. Cool. This is for Lamara. Great, great, give her another give her another darkness point. Yes, please, she's the only one that didn please please, Okay, I was gonna say, I feel like the only one that it makes sense to not be quiet is Lamara. But I will give her a darkness. I wish I could. You know what, if you really want to take the darkness, you can or you can let and let Lamara do this. Yeah, I'm gonna I think like Lamara would be distracted here like so she wouldn't. I wish she can feel it. She's drawn to it. Yeah, she's run to it, and maybe she does stop. You feel you're belt. We loosen up a little bit. And she doesn't enter the room. She doesn't enter the room, but she stops at the doorway. It's as if her feet can't carry her any farther, and she just stares in, drawn to this space. And then you see her foot across the threshold, and she is known. She makes herself known, and she walks in and peers down in the hole. You don't know what she sees. We don't know what she sees. She whispers something, it comes out and this um raspy kind of tongues type way that's the night. What what is she doing? And her back arches a little bit, and then she slings herself forward again as she continues kind of talking thing in herrd. The Horde is calming, I'm sorry. Does she say that out loud? No? Okay to me or asked what she's okay? Glasses You see the Horde attempting to calm itself, as if a herd of children trying to take a nap. They're slowly like wearing down and like where they were jumping and reaching, now they're slowly and you watch us, she continues, kind everybody talks to them. Move quietly now Lumara is helping. Oh okay, and the Horde of darkness below Tamirror goes still and it stops moving. Lamara walks out of the chamber um kind of in a little bit of a day. She has that like kao swing, you know, that like sway as if you could like push her over um and she she she walks back over as if nothing's wrong and continues trying to fall in line as she passes me. I kind of like put my arm out to help study air. She because they were screaming, screaming. She has a kind of a tear you see it kind of rolled down her face and tell maybe it's the red light that you're beaming on her face that plays tricks on you. But this inky blackness consumes it as it runs down her her very pale skin, and she says, I couldn't hear the song anymore. Had to make them stop. Thank you. I wipe the tear away. Can I look at the leak? Is he's right behind me? Right? Yeah? I look at a leak and I just mouth I've fought far, and then I turned back forward. He shrugs. But you'll notice that he has a hand out like that catch up hand for her to hold. That's I guess we just move forward. Yeah, between probably Malik's help and tell there's some stability over time, and she begins to gain her feet, but before you know it. So you're in the front with the night vision goggles. I'm gonna have you roll first. Okay, you're gonna roll an observation people. Okay, you don't see it, but you can hear it. There seems to be voices, real voices, people talking. You're coming up on a rather populated area. The air is also clearing up, which tells you that there must be some kind of fresh outlet here, possibly the door you've been looking for. Does my little pit boy tell me the distance of like how far living creatures? Maybe? I imagine you, like you kind of like tune it in for distancing with you tell it, like how far you think the thing is? And it, yes, it is somewhere between the radar detector and alien isolation and the pit boy. And it loops loots, loots right, and it finally doesn't it picks up. There are four figures ahead of you, uh, quite a ways, um, and they are standing around. Two of them are two of them are standing around. Two of them are moving quite rapidly, like every time it boots around, you see that they're in a different place, and then they go back as if maybe they're moving something or they're repeating some kind of travel pattern. You're not sure, Um, that's what you know? Four people ahead of you. I'm going to like, you know, it's just like, um, lean down to kind of motion for everyone else to stop, and then I'm just gonna lean lean back and tell like whisper to Malik, like therefore, four why don't the FU to call it? What do you call people? Yeah? Four targets? Four people? Yeah, yeah for four bodies two seem to be stationary, and I don't know what the other two are doing. They're going back back and forth, but they're pretty close, all right, Leak, Yeah, you think that they probably have comes here? Right? Do you have any sort of signal jammer just in case? I mean, unless they're shadow monsters. No, I'm I'm pretty sure there're people. How can I hurt them? Right, Malik? A signal jammer would be a good idea. Anyways, Do you have the one I gave you? Yes, I just don't know what the rules are on how to use it because I didn't write it down. That's okay, because here's the thing. I feel like Malik's seen a signal jammer. The thing is, you need a signal to jam. It looks like somebody's already jamming signals all throughout this swamp. Interesting perfect. In fact, it's a very powerful signal, Malik. I will let you roll a data jan in this case, you probably like, pop this thing open, right, and you go and it's a device that you're setting that has a proximity area. That's what this does. And you go to set it up and as you're kind of beeping things in, you're telling it to like kick up on signals with an x amount of radius, and it keeps saying zero signals, zero signals, and you immediately know that means that there's no signals here, which means somebody else may be hacking or jamming this area already. So you could try to make a data gian role to figure out if that's the case and how far they're doing it. Um, you guys have walked into a dead zone and you had knowing, yeah, there's no way to radio outside. Yeah yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah yeah. Okay does the does does this jammer provide me any bonuses? Because I actually don't know sure? What is it? Sure? I just take an extra die in this case, because, like I said, it's not that you're misusing it or need to know how to use it. You're just trying to find out more information and kind of a backwards way because machine isn't working. I failed, right, perfect. You don't know. Here's the thing. You don't know how far out this signal is going to jam it. You don't know anything about where it's coming from or where it's centralized point is. But you know for a fact where you are currently standing, and at least some proximity around you. Most um, uh, most of these will have anywhere between you know, five hundred feet to two thousand feet radius on them. Some more than that. You can get really big ones that go all the way up that they could block you from, say, getting to Coreolis. So anyways, um, in this case, this is probably some kind of militarized one. And all you know is that currently where you stand in probably this general area is currently being blocked by them. Yeah. He looks back and he says, uh, I would, but there's already someone's already doing it. There's nothing, there's no signals here because that's a could they don't want to be found. Yeah, well then they don't have comms. Um now, not necessarily. They might have a short turn. They just don't have these kind of comps. They could be short wave, they could be uh F coms. They could be cups on strings, cups on strings, they could be shouting. Yeah, there's so there's different Like, it's not the appropriate time. I don't need the technology lesson right now. On What I need to do is figure out what you're guys going to do about it. Marlenz goes, I like it when you talk technology thank you. Kay, What are we going to do about it? She looks very proud. Um, why does it matter? Why does it matter what we're going to do about it? Yeah? Who cares if the radios are down? Well? No, I meant no other people in front of us? Oh right, I mean I could walk in there and tell him I'm a doctor, create a distraction. No, I am a doctor. But don't do that. Why not because you could get captured or killed? But all you're here? Would you would be there? Yeah? But then you would lose the element of surprise. It's it's a whole just stay stay, do you maybe? Okay? I will stay. I mean there's five of us. I mean there is can you? We don't even know who they are. What if they're the people were looking for? We're not even close enough yet to know. Yeah, that's actually what I was going to say. You're doing great, you can God, you looked like mom and dad. We're just we're trying to be supportive and not have a full on breakdown. This is your future if Tommy are survived, or if Belief survived. Brother, this is your future. He does look as a soul. Can you can you like? Scout ahead? If we're quiet, like if we stay here, can you like sneak out there and see what they are? Yeah? I could, I could do that. Oh how far away? Is it not far? Just enough? Like around the corner and a couple of rooms. It probably opens up your guy, assuming it's a little thing, use the fiberscope. What is that nun chucked time? What's happening right now? I know certain, but you're talking about the scope, the special scope. Yeah, it's it's five meters long. You should play. I'll let you roll an agility or an infiltration, whichever you'd like. Okay, I would like an infiltration. Infiltration it is, and I would like to get close enough and then use the numb up looking thing to see if I can figure out. Dude, you can stand? You can stand around here. It's sixteen feet long. Oh yeah, okay, yeah, so you kind of round the Okay, so here's what happens. You kind of round the corner and look, because it's where you're at. You're kind of at a corner and they're just up around. You're kind to peer out. You can see it to the hallway leads straight to this big room. This room is lit with what looks to be like, um, i's gonna say space lantern, Jo, I am not on my game tonight, space lanterns um um No, it looks to be some kind of military lantern that you know they like pop up um and on site like quick light basically led and they're kind of set up along the floor illuminating this room that is full of crates and um what you know to be ammo crates, um chairs and a table. You can like see it through his big opening and you see two people like moving some stuff and then you see two people sitting at a table. They are convening over what is probably um crap alcohol and uh yeah yes and uh yeah, um you can you think you think you can feed this this camera down um and get it close enough? Where is it just a camera or can he hear too with it? It's just a camera? Okay? How good are your reading lipstool? I would say, as an assassin, I'm probably trained in like reading people in all forms. Okay, So here's what well, and you're not that far away, So here's what I'm gonna give. You're gonna have to make an observation role. You make an observation role. For me. But you can take the plus one because the cameras you like, slide it down, you see it on like whatever thing you've got it attached to, and you like you're sitting mister Plumber down. Mister Plumber goes all the way to the end, and this little camera kind of peers into the room and you can better see you're at their feet. In fact, you can see the two guys sitting at the table rolling observation. They are dressed like murder commandos. They wear the two moving boxes do not wear the same things. These two are what is probably the same Marder commandos that have been infiltrating coreole Is security because they wear Coreoli security attire. The other two were kind of a different combat arm h. This looks to be a little bit more piecemailed together and a little bit more um the way like a rebellion might dress. Right. So it's dirty, it's pieced together from different parts. They've repainted stuff on it um, if that makes sense, um, and pieces of it um. These two people work here. You can probably assume that the other two are on some kind of job. More importantly, what's your rule for that observation? I'm doing that right now? Nothing? Yeah, great, perfect. These two men, one of these two men could be this set the pair that you like saw running through the swamps. That's probability. You don't know, uh. And with that observation, it's very difficult for you to make out their conversation. You think that they say something about clearing out, closing up and disposing of I don't know, disposing of things. Disposal comes up, the word disposal. That is kind of what you get from it, that they seem to be talking about something. That's it. All right, Well, these don't look like any friends. I relayed information about their attire, just like you know, they look like to look like may shift. The other two look like they're infiltrated coreol. That's what we saw before. I can't really make out what they're saying, but it seems like they're trying to close up loose ends or something. They're trying to remove something. So I don't think these are friendlies. What are they doing? What are they doing? Like I said, two guys look to be moving some cargo. That's what you can see from here. They're kind of on the far end of the room and you can just see their feet going back and forth. They see unloading where they're unloading it to. They are unloading it out a door, at the door, out a door. And actually, now that you're further in the room, you can see too there seemed to be bunks here. These might be the barracks. And where are they pulling it from, just like in the room. Yeah, in the room there's like stacks of crates and stuff. They seem to be bringing them out of the door. You don't see where that goes, but you see them walk out the door. And when they come back, they're not carrying anything. I don't know, they're leaving it. They're leaving the room within and they don't come back with anything. So it must be transporting out of this area to play possibly somebody else. Is there a lot of it? Is there a lot of it? The zero observation, there's a lot of stuff in this room. This seems to be like a secure storage place that they've clearly been using. Um, there's a possibility that these men are moving specific things. But then again, based on the conversation, and they're talking about clearing out, they're trying to get rid of any sign that they were here. They're leading sol. They're packing up shop. I mean, there seems to be a lot of stuff. They're not taking everything, but it just looks like they're cleaning up. Well, then why don't why don't we just sit here? No longer we sit here, the more likely it is that the people were trying to rescue or dying. They might be the finished cleaning up. That means everything, right, But I understand that. But can you kill one of them? We'll do what we have to, you know, I mean, like, can you buy yourself kill one of them right now? I can all of them? What? What? What the fuck? I mean I could if you wanted to? Wait, hold on, how how would you kill all of them? Don't you guys have grenades? Let's not do that? Okay, So okay, so we just we just quietly walked over here. If we throw a grenade, that'll give away our position. If we jump in there and start shooting them and one of them runs away, that'll give away our position. If we didn't even make hill each other? How what what? I kill each other? No? I Needmara, How are you gonna do this? I don't, I don't uh uh So you know how I told you that I bought a Um, I bought a pig, you know, for for dissection and all that. Yeah, okay, so it wasn't really dead before I bought it. Um, I bought a live one because I was, um trying to test a theory. Okay, I'm just looking at Malik slow that I can, Um, I have a way of affecting people's minds if they are are not strong of will, um, and I can make them do things. My eyes are just getting wide. And and why just staring directly at Malague Like I told you I was an impath um Lamara, No could could you make them no tire, no fatigue? Oh like sip yeah, sleep, I just don't have to actually hold on. We could tie them up, take their uniforms. Now we look like them. Wait, Lumar, what happened to the pig like that I tried to do the experiment. Well, we don't have a pig anymore. So well, pigs aren't very strong of will, and I'm I was trying to figure out how to tailor in my abilities. Um well uh uh uh. When I cleaned it up, I'm pretty sure that it's we don't brain was liquefied and came out of his ears? What happened? Did anything happen to you? I got a nose bleed? Okay, I'm gonna I'm gonna vote, all right. I used it for good reason. I just dissected it for parts after that. Yeah, that's fine. Mark. Can you try to make them go to sleep? Because if we can get them don't look at me like them, but like, if we can get them to sleep, then nobody has to be hurt. This might be a good option. I can sure try. You want to kill someone right now? I mean I can't kill Do you still have the soul that surely gave? Perhaps it could assist how we used it before, And I think that's more of a link to her. We're looking for the list. We realize like what I'm like, he like nods at lamaras leak. She's not going to be killing anybody. We also don't know anybody have promise and I've gotten better. The next pigs brain did not turn down. I'm sorry she practiced. I got better. We still don't know what using that kind of stuff does. We'll never know. If she doesn't do it, that's fine. I find not knowing. I find well, are you not doing it either listen. Ultimately, Lamara, what do you want to do? It's your choice? Well, I just is that a trick question? No, you have free will. I understand, just understand the situation you are in right now, and we're not. We don't have time to baby step around this. You clearly have something in you that can be dangerous using whatever it is you are Gudini doing right now. Might think it might make it worse, but we don't know. So I could, I could, I could sure try. I look at Malik like she's willing to try. I think, Lamar, it's your I think it's a good idea. If you want to try to put them to sleep, it's better than trying to kill them. Malik roll her mystic ability. I've got to pull up for mistic power. All the mystic powers here are gonna find them in this book, this massive book school. That's yikes, do not roll? Well, Hey, that's okay. I have I have plenty of darkness points if I get to use, and since this is my role, she's gonna reroll. Okay, I will use my darkness points. There were you yeah, okay, okay, um. I just want to make sure I know that they if they get I don't think they get a role against this. Um okay, I would just like to know before you do anything, though, what are you attempting to do so we are prepared? Um? Well, I was going to sneak down there and get as close as I can, because proximity, I've learned is in fact important, and well, I'm going to tap into their minds and tell them to go to sea? Can you do that to all four? Do you need perhaps us to take out two of them so you can only focus on the other two? All I can do is try? Okay, I guess, perhaps, Soul, you should be prepared for a backup plan. I look at how Malik and tamirror. Which one of you have a better shoot? Shot? Ye? Fail? Okay, one success? I'm going to no successes, successes? Okay? Give what kind of pistol do you have? I have a vulcan pistol and an accelerator pistol. Okay, cool? Okay? Do I do I see that or are they hidden? No? What? Actually? One's my uh, my accelerator pistol is in No, my vulcan pistol is in my hand. The accelerator pistol is also silent. Yeah, so I'm gonna be like, do you have anything quieter than that? Okay, I pull I switch. I imagine it's strapped on some cool gun. I've got like a double holster. Oh yeah, okay, cool, even better, even better? Yeah, you pull it, you pull the other one out and hand it over. Okay, I'm gonna take my accelerator carbon and then I'm going to I have I have another accelerator pistol. So I'm gonna be like, we have three shots here, and I look at Malik and twa mirror, which one of you two are a better shot me? Okay, I give the accelerator pistol too, Malik. Oh, and I'm like, he pulls out it I have Oh, okay, perfect, I give it to me. Then do you you already gave to me pistol? What's really give you? When he pointed at the accelerator pistol, I have a gun. I don't have a spare gun. Okay, well you have your mind. Oh and the sword, Sung, it's a nice it's just a knife. Give me my sword. I'm like the weapon, no, I guess it's like it's kind of like an extended dagger it's like a it's like a booie knife. Okay, well the end I don't give to mirror and I point at the pistol for to mirror, I point am I okay, if somebody now wait, wait, wait what um if something goes wrong, we all need to hit our marks at the same time. I'm not one of those right now. You you're you are the main plan. We are the backup plans. Pressure you know, you're fine, You'll do great. I'll move up. So I'm like right behind Soul. And so my question, Jim, are we all able to scooby doo crawl up this hallway and like kind of see them jinkies, Paul, I don't know, maybe if you dodge from door to door. Yes, my god, we really are the scoobies though, think of who we have whoever mar is full on scooby Doo. Yeah my god, totally yeah. So okay, so as we get closer and we positioned Lamar to do her mind melting thing, okay, I want us to. I want to point out, like who gets who in case Lamar something fails, So like I'll I'll like point out like that's A, that's B, that's c that's the how you get so anybody that's going down the hallway has to make a stealth check, which is a dexter dirty or flat agility. Great guns, and so I'll get one from Lumara as well. Mike, I wondering if I shouldn't roll. You've been scruggling. I mean, that's all right. Well, let's see this is for Malik music. Okay, miner roll with Lamara. Perfect. She failed, It's okay, I succeeded. It's okay, thanks to you. All right, and Tel kind of creep down behind all of you creaked down behind Lamara. Um, you're not very quiet. The good news is two of the men are completely distracted. But Lumara is not successful in keeping the two men at the table's eyes off of her. They immediately stand. You hear the sound of the chairs like ricking back. And as this happens, Um, she goes white and kind of puts her hands up. I'm bringing more prisoners. Uh, I immediately hide my gun. Uh, let's do. I'm actually thinking it's gonna be a flat empathy. She felt or manipulate. I don't think that she is very manipulate to me. Oh so just two more die here unless and just too quick to guy that hey, yeah, okay, they stop this. You can see their posture whitens a little. The two men moving stuff stop, stops with her hands up. She walks closer. She says, I'm just a doctor here at the facility to help with um the move that kind of These two men squit their eyes soul. Now you can see these are, in fact the two figures that ran across the smart I don't know what to do with that information. And Lamara simply kind of puts her hands forward. Um. She doesn't even cross the doorway, and she says, I'm simply here to remind you that you need to sleep. The guy's like what. She goes sleep. All of you go to sleep, and you witness all of them kind of pause, and they all get that like weird tilt of the head, puppy doghead. Lumara did in fact roll two. They one of them roll to success. The other three failed. Their will save or their will roll. They are not very willful. And immediately the two with the boxes drop them. The boxes thud to the ground whenever they were carrying, and I turn around the come around the corner oh yeah, yeah, you kind of come around the corner, you see it's it's possibly working. You hear the thud of something, and these two guys are like, yeah, sleep, sleep, and they kind of dropped to the ground. The two commandos in the front, one of them does not struggle at all. He immediately just kind of like slumps back into a seat and bucks his head to the table. The one that communicated, though, is struggling. So is Lumara, and as she continues to try to press against his will. With his single success, she does overcome him, but with great effort, and you can see her body begin to trimmer and shake with her hands up as she's trying to force him into a state of sleep. He is still standing. You can see he kind of like he's trying. He knows what's happening, or at least he thinks he's figuring it out, that she's affecting them in some way. She begins to levitate, her feet leave the ground, her hair as if touched an electricity ball, begins to stand on end with her hands up. Suel you I need you, I need you to make a check. Oh shit, you've seen this before. It reminds you of something creature that you've stared into the eyes of No, I haven't, yes, you have. Her hair stands on in just like that creature, levitates, just like that creature. Her white lab coat seems to defy gravity in some way on her body, and it's just enough to remind you of that moment as it lifts in your gut and in your throat. You have to catch yourself. Um, this is a will safe told, just a wit safe. I'm sorry, wit saved to just stay on track. It's just a wits. Oh, come on, okay, okay, you have to shake it. So maybe tries to talk or you guys are like, so we'll shoot him, shoot, shoot. He is frozen. And before you know it, Lumra says, I said sleep, And she lets out this grattural sound as his body buds to the ground in a very hard way, as if he just goes limp, but like a like a rag doll. She too hits the ground, barely catching herself. She goes to her knees. She's breathing very heavily. Mara, you okay, I turn around. She looks at all of you. Her nose is bleeding down her face, her eyes are covered in this kind of black eakiness. It is slowly dissipating, and she smiles this very lamar smile, and she says, I did it. I told you I could do it. Malie comes to like wipe the blood off of her face. She's a little embarrassed. I'm sorry, look a kid with a running nose. I'm sorry. I'm gonna walk past them and walk towards the body and start tying him up. Yeah, I'm gonna start taking armor off of one of them, and as as I get their arms for you, I'll tie them and then continue stripping their armor off. Because that was a damn good idea. All right, are you okay? She kind of like nods and she's a bit woozy. Malik is going to look pointedly at tami Or and just kind of like nod at Lamara. Uh. He doesn't understand what Tamir can do, but he knows he can see things. Um, and like that's kind of like the while he's talking her, are you sure? Are you? Like? I'm fine? I Uh that last one. He was kind of a doozy. I you floated, h you floated? I did what you've floated? That's that's silly. Nope, you've you've floated off the ground. H yep, why didn't do that? Yeah you did, you were floating? We all. She turns. This is like a repeat conversation. She's already had this conversation with one of the Alisade brothers. She turns and looks at to me or over her shoulder in this kind of worrisome way, as if she's beginning to understand something, like she's beginning to realize that maybe she's not as in control of herself as she thought she was. Is she losing time? And she turns back and looks at Malik. But I did I did the right thing, right, Yes, let's see, let's just for now, do it less for now? Okay, because you you didn't mean to float? I don't think so. I didn't even know I could flow? Yeah, me neither. So I also didn't know you could tell people to sleep and they would just do that. Um m hm cool. Cool. And he like goes to pick her up, and then again like looks at Tamer and it's like help here, Yeah, your glasses on? Okay, he's not taking that off yet. The world is a little I mean, yeah, I probably do a tune back to looking for looking at Lamar as she's literally doing this new thing. She is crawling with darkness, crawling with it. Shit, it grow every time I think Tim like Malik, if you look back and like the brothers will lock eyes for a moment, he just shakes his head. You see, Like that's for a second, there's that same flash of Malik that you saw in the warehouse where he's livid, and then he just kind of walks with her into the rest of the room. Can I look at what the crates that they were moving? Yes? Did you enter the room because you'll have to like enter to go check out these crates they were moving. I mean, yeah, I figured I probably wasn't ready in the room when I was tying him up. Yeah. Yeah. When you enter the room, first thing you notice is the last guy to go down, is uh something oozes out of his ears? Isn't that black stuff? No? It's the other three sleep soundly, small stores, snores, light whimpers of men having dreams, but they sleep soundly. Unfortunately, the one that fought Lamara lost his battle. I'm going to pick them up a little bit and like use my boot to like clean up the little gou on the floor. Yeah, and then just kind of tilt him the other way so it looks like he's sleeping with the rest of them because I don't I don't want Lamara to Oh no, the other one is currently being stripped and tied by Tao. Yeah. No know what, after you strip them, I'm going to put them all together, after whatever you need to do. Yeah, seeing that, you probably would assume that the one that you're handling is going to be stripped for its their armor next. So just in that case, like strip them and then put them in whatever way. I maybe you dumped the bodies, or you move the bodies before anybody can see, wiping this goo across the floor, grinding it into sands, only to get it to go away. Yeah. As you check out the crates, what you find is there are a lot of weapons here, a lot of weapons crates. I like that they match the weapons crate that's say you all grabbed before you came down. Oh. I don't like that they don't seem to be moving any one thing in particular. It just happened to be this stack of boxes that were being moved. But you can see just outside the door if you peer out, this is the way down out the other side of this this zigarette, it goes down. They are using kind of a makeshift pulley system to send these boxes to the bottom. They are loading it up. It looks like so if you kind of peer out quickly into different cargo ships that look to be preparing for takeoff. Okay, there any like good weapons in the crate that we can use, nothing more than you have. Okay, these are the kind of we would know. These are the kind of weapons you buy in mass to suit an army. They're not super high quality, but everybody gets one, right right? Um, is there anything else important in this room that I should look at? Any more crates that I can like peer open that might have anything different role and infiltration, because this is now you're doing like true investigating work, Like you're digging deeper than just like what's on the outside of these want to see I want to see. So my objective is to see the crate, and I want to see the armor of the two that were carrying it, like why they were different compared to the the guards I failed. Okay, Well, the difference is very simple. It seems like it seems like these two men are posing as something these two men are not. The two with the kind of lackluster armor seem to be part of whatever ring this is is working in. And because they're so underground and they're trying to hide behind the Order of the Pariah, you're guessing that this is makeshift and based on what you know. If it is true that the White Butterfly came here from the first horizon broke through and they're they're here and they're looking to use a fall person or fall people, they have started their own minor rebellion of some kind. These are commando martyrs that believe in something. They're all behind, uh common cause, yeah, they're fanatics. Exactly what they are their fanatics, um, And they are hiding behind the Order as the shield and the fall guy. And these guys just happened to be wearing like whatever they could find because more than likely the majority of the Mandoka Martyrs martyrs actually dressed like this. These two guys are undercover. The outfits that they're wearing is a little unsettling. It doesn't and this is so talking sorry, Um, it doesn't seem like they're It just doesn't just feels off it feels very guerrilla, I mean doesn't doesn't that kind of make sense? Well, I with everything going on, I thought there would be some sort of higher organization to maintain all this, but it doesn't seem It seems like bits and pieces of various different organizations. It's just it's a little off, like like seals, let's makeshift armor. Yeah, so what the arm the makeshift armer did where that? That doesn't represent anything, right, it's just me, not from you, not from not with that role. From what you can tell, they have piece mailed this together because they don't have other resources. Yeah, okay, it just doesn't look like to have proper resources, which makes me think it's not being funded or organ is organized by something extremely public. I mean, yeah, that would make sense. Right, it's all covert. Just curious and who's pulling the strings here? I guess we'll find out. Well, this makeshift seems to lead to some sort of doc and they're loading all this into it. That could be where they're trying to gather everything before they leave. This whole place. Looks like it's one of a close up operation just remove everything and leave, basically burn everything else. I mean we saw in that barn. They're just trying to get rid of everything before they can leave, and I think we are running out of time. Well that just means we need to stop looking in boxes and make our way down to the medical center. One of the transport ships takes off. Yeah, we need to go. Is there a way that if you if I look down, is it just like a straight There is a scaffolding that leads down, a makeshift scaffolding that they've put in here, and then there's another kind of slope that's what they're using to send these boxes down to the bottom. Right, they drop it on the slope, it slides down, and then there's a makeshift scaffolding for foot traffic to the bottom. Okay, well we can take to make makeshift scaffolding to go down or I mean this need is a lot faster, but I don't know. We're asking the lead. Can we see where it leads? Yoh yeah, I mean you're sitting at the top and looking down you can see it's going to lead down to a path that they have created that cuts through a lot of this sunken palace to the medical facility, and then you can see there's a path out the back of the medical facility that probably leads to whatever these towers are being used for. Is anyone on the path that we can seek? Yeah, there are a few guys, a few, i should say, people down there that are simply like loading the last of the boxes that have come down the shoote. Here's the thing, not all the boxes have arrived. How many guys are there? Three? Maybe? Um, they're whatever boxes have a come down that the two sleeping men were unloading. Um, they're loading it into this. Are there any boxes large enough to hit our entire group or at least like one or two people. Yeah, you'd have to pair off probably or triple up. Yeah. Is there a way to take one of those boxes down the scaffoli? You're gonna take it all the way down. It will be acarious climb. We're going to get in the boxes and ride down the slide ye three where they're loading boxes. Yeah, But there's a public area though, where if you go there, they're all gonna there are It is an open piece of land where there is now a vessel. Right, there's like a cargo ship, and there are three guys that are collecting the boxes coming off the slide and putting them in the ship. Yeah, that is where there we can walk down the long path where they have time to notice us coming as people. We can get in a box down to the same place. I know that. I'm saying though, with the boxes, if we go and what are you going to open the box to see five people in the crate? Surprise? Yeah, soul, what if you stay back here, let us go down and be the distraction and you have a bird's eye view at the moment, a very good one, and they don't know you're here, at least not yet. Now, maybe when they're done with those boxes and more boxes don't come down, they might. You've got about two minutes maybe to make a decision. I start unloading a box as quickly as possible. Lamara, hold me with this box. Oh okay, she was already unlow. She was like, I want this one. This box has like color and thanks on it. She's okay, um, and she starts unload. Helping you unload the boxes. Yeah, I'm just gonna prepare my sniper and just like find a good vantage point. Come on, what are you doing? Are you're gonna just sit there and stare at us? Some unloading these boxes, you're gonna do something. Malik is staring at the four bodies that are on the ground for like probably too long, uh, and noticing that one of them isn't breathing before whatever Tao says jogs him out of it. And Milike, I got us a box. Great, I'll take that one. And oh oh oh and and and and and and to me or and tell you can have this box. I have to push them down. Is It's like okay, yeah, you're gonna have to basically push them and they're gonna go okay. I'm like, all right, well, who's first? I jump in? Captain Yep, let's go. I look at ta mirror. He'll carefully, gingerly get into the box. It's just big enough to hold the two of you. He's such a big kind of like yeah, I kind of like curl up in his lap. All yeah. It is to say the least um. And there's like a minute where you're not sure why they haven't pushed you yet or you're not going It is an awkward type space as the lid is like hammered back down with the end of a gun. Uh to like put the nails back in place to make it look solid, and I want to push them just yet, though I want to go too. I'm gonna leave them a little awkwardly different minutes, and then I'm gonna go over to the other box and prepit, you know. They Lamara pulls it empty up just behind us, so they're kind of in line. Um. She gets in very excited for box time. She squats waiting. I'm like Malik. He looks to the pile of bodies again and then back to Sewell and then points like in a way that Lamara can't see because she's all, you know, close it up in a little box. He points to the one that's not breathing, and he says, I just shake my head. I just shake my head. He nods and then gets to the box. And then I will and I'm gonna knock on both the boxes. And they be like, are you sure you want to do this? Like a mom, So let's do it. Mary nailed back in. I'm gonna just kick the box down, Okay, I do need a strength check you people in the box, Yeah, come on, this kind of like myself on the box. I'll take a force. I feel like tamir Is is that like like as soon as they go down, He's arms are wrapped around tall. Okay, you do awful, the two of you. There's that moment of pause again both you like, easy, gonna do it. And then there is a kick on this thing, but it rings out like thumping on a bowl with a gold fish, and it's super loud. And then before you know it, there's a moment of tip and you begin sliding down this slick, mossy slide um. We might hear a minor squeal from Tamir as he wraps himself tightly around taw Um as they blindly slide down, jiggling. Yeah, one hundred feet one hundred and twenty just it's basically a water slide um. As a down Lamar looks down as it hits the bottom, and she goes, I will prep Lamara's next box. I mean, oh, oh, oh oh, you guys are already in the box, already nailed it down, So I'm gonna prep it and then I'm gonna like just do a little knock you guys good. She sits like a grouched rabbit in this this cage with you, just very excited to be sharing such quarters um and and and she says she. Yeah. She She says, um, you know, while we're here, I wanted to let me kick um okay, roll another Uh? What fuck? Great? There's a farge thud and maybe because it wasn't right on the edge, it was not enough and there's a large stud and Lamara waits for it and doesn't happen. She goes, oh good. So what I wanted to tell you was that time. I'm gonna run and kick it again. He told me ahead, roll again. He told me that I did something to talk another thud. The box moves like, just a few more inches? Can I get my right fucking hands. He's gonna have to roll a force no matter what. He's got to pass it to get you over. I imagine it's just like Scott to keep doing. She does, and Malie told me that I might have done something you made you sick, you know, and I just I really want to make sure that I can. I can, I can fix that. So I'm gonna just um And she leans in and lands a kid on you. And as she does so, she's going to roll her mystic power because she's healing you. Okay, I can imagine. So I was just like fucking box. Yeah, you pace of shit. Ah. And on the third one, the box tips over the edge just as Lumar kisses your face and there's this moment of like lack of gravity as this box starts on the slide, your stomach slip and something happens to you, mollik other than the fact that you're in a box kissing your kind of friend. Um, I knew, crazy girlfriend. When you reach the bottom and there's a thud and your lips are no longer locking, she um, you feel lighter. The things that plagued your mind, the darkness that was there, the doubt, the things that have afflicted you, seem not as important, or at least not as impactful. You're unsure. M Okay, you're at the bottom, so I'm guessing you take overwatch. Yeah, I'm just going to keep an eye on Immediately as they hit we see you and that perfect pose. I will take a quick moment to be very sad that I didn't get to ride the slide, and he does like a sigh. Um, you can still prep a box for yourself and jump in. You're gonna get down. You still got to come down to the bottom. There are tons of boxes you're gonna take the scares you're supposed to snipe and then jump in a box and take a ride down yourself. Is do I have time to just like prep it and then do a watch? Should Overwatch? For you kind to look down at them? I would say, you probably want to do Overwatch first. Once these guys are dead, then you can ride a box to the bottom. Okay, So I would have said that we would have had all the boxes prepped and ready to go before we started moving. And yeah, I'm gonna Overwatch. Yeah, you go into Overwatch and wait, um, the boxes thud and then um twel and to mean or uh, you feel a massive thud against your crate? What do you all do now you're locked in boxes or nailed in boxes? Why did the nail? I feel like I wouldn't have nailed it too hard? No, no, you might not have completed it, but it's still somebody's gon have to like press the lid up, you know. I lean back real quick, gives me a kiss on the cheek, and I say, help me push, and then I immediately start trying to push the lid off with the intention of pushing the lid off, and then immediately drawing and shooting whoever is. I would say, then you probably use your feet. Yeah, you kick the box lid off that way that you could sit straight up in kind of a single motion. If you use your hands, you're gonna have to it'll be too Does that make sense? Um? So I sort really just braced myself against so because I'm practically like anyways, yep, let's see. Yeah, from this kind of weird spider man angle with her, I imagine there's like a big spoon little spoon sitch um and she like puts her feet up and troops right, and she says it often touch us two episodes to get to the romance and a few boxes later, and you, uh, you see her kind of look up at you because you know there's that thing. She like kisses you on the cheek, almost upside down like, and she kicks his bockling over and it cops open, flies off with quite a bit of ferber and Tae sits straight up and you're gonna take a shot, yeah, And I already have my eye going you do. So the first person I see is essentially there are three men down here. There's one currently in the back of this transport vessel and two that are like moving the boxes. One of them is very close. He was coming to grab this box. Okay, we're two of them were coming to grab this box. Skill take two men, I got a copy and paste that thing again. M h. Plus one okay, and then yeah, because I think you get two of the eye, right, I got it. One for the eye, get one for the eye. Um, and the gun I don't think it gives you any benefits, so you would just make the range combat attack at the plus one Yeah? Nice, Okay, give me a successes and the crit is a one set criting on one success or. No, well, they've got to roll to see if they're armor negates so um, or how much their armor negates their armor Um, they're not in the full armor suits, so um. Okay, they did not get any successes. So what is the damage range on the gun? Two? Two? So they take each take two or this one person takes two to the chest. As you come up, you realize they're not wearing armor because you can't cargo box lifting armors. So um. Whatever they're wearing is rather light like leathers and fabrics and canvas and stuff. And you shoot one right into his chest immediately the other to turn and reach for weapons. What on your weapon? It says one. Okay, so you have two successes between. One of them is a crypt so you can roll right. So roll two D six is six. You might actually get some more damage off. So fifty four is internal bleeding. Yes, this first guy you hit, you actually hit him right in the guts like a gut wound, and it probably goes through major arteries of some kind, might even break out a liver um and he immediately falls to the ground and has to hold his insides in uh That guy takes minus one to his roles and will fall unconscious in uh D six minutes. I was about to say he probably is going to fall unconscious much sooner than that three minute time. He's gonna be probably a dead man. But he doesn't seem to be a problem. He is just trying to keep his guts inside his body at the at a negative one nonetheless, and then at that point I would turn, Yes, you kind of probably stand so to make room for for Tamir to stand. Um, but we actually are gonna cut because all of the oh yes, let's get t mirors move and then we'll go back to the other Tamir would stand like as soon as she's up being just I mean, look at her, Why why not bazy? Right? Um? He he just stands up. He is not drawing his fucking Okay, soon's he gonna do with it? Um? But I think he's maybe, but he's positioning himself like he wants to see where everybody is and making sure that he is. If she's facing one way, he's facing the other sure, like like like a body block. Yeah. Back to back, Yeah, absolutely, You stand up in that very cool way where, Um, I don't know why. It reminds me of it's scene from Mister and Missus Smith where they're in the like Costco mart or whatever and they're like back to back and they're just like dah dah. It's just like that. When you stand up, you notice that Malik's lid is still on. Yes, the lid is still on where you don't know why. Maybe they can't get it off. Maybe they're not trying, they're trying too hard. Um who knows. Uh So, But you don't take a shot right on anyone. You don't actually fire the weapon. No, it's it's not even drying great. I'm actually gonna cut to Seoul because you were in Overwatch. You see tow pop out of this box and uh you finish. You see her shoot him right in the chest and he falls through the ground. The other two men turn and grab for their weapons. Because you're an Overwatch, I'm going to give you a chance to take a shot as well. Um, without them knowing you were there. I would like to shoot the furthest one sure, the one that's actually in the back of the ship. Which do they look any different? Like any of them look more? They seem to be pretty average dudes. Like I said, these are not wearing armor because they're moving boxes and you can't do that kind of manual label when you're like really bulky armor. So these guys just are doing grunt work more than more than any Yeah, I'll just shoot whichever is the furthest Do I just do range combat? Um? Yes, ranged attack? What cool. I'm gonna give you a Darkness one. Did you wait? Did you add the plus for your gun? Yeah? You get a bonuses for the weapon because of the scope was a plus one? Yeah? Yeah, okay, but also what is the plus for your gun itself? Plus one? Bonus. Okay, So at the top of the thing, you gotta add plus one up there. Okay, and I will would you like me to be kind of let you? Um, Actually, let's before you do that, roll one D six for me, because you would have had an additional D six to just roll one D six, because that may take this from a failure to a single success. Okay, did not. Now you can use the darkness point if that's what you love. Yeah, I'll do it all right, let me a success okay. Um, let's see they're gonna roll to negate. This person's gonna roll. They don't have, like I said, much armor. Um any time now roll twenty. No, they fail all together, so they'll take full damage. What is the gun? The guns damage is a three? Is a three? Um? This guy you watch this is a carbine weapon. This is a rifle. Um, and is a powerful sniper rifle. And as you um, as you hit this guy in the actually, hang on, hang on, I might do something fun here. Okay. The judge has been on your side, so I'm not gonna play the punishment card. I'm not gonna play that punishment card. Um. Fine, he takes three damage. Oh wait, but nothing. Uh. The fire shot goes off. It hits him in the chest and basically tosses his body deeper into the kind of like cargo bay of this this vessel. Um. The other guy does draw a weapon. Now we cut to Malik and Lamara. Uh, which one of us are going to try to break this open? I feel like Malik was hoping someone else would do it. Uh. Like if if you see the size of Tamir and the size of Malik, he knows which one is physically stronger. So like he has like a turtle right Like he has his knees and hands pressed against the box and he's he's trying just wait, That's what I was really hoping for. This was just a show so that we don't have to open the box. I was just gonna hold it here so that way he opened it, like they think we were trying to get it open. Yeah, oh lyd exactly, Mike god Well. The camera cuts to the guy with the gun, Lamara. Lamara and Malik choose to stay in the box. Um because they don't have the strength of any good decisions though probably they don't have the strength to open it um um. Oh oh, I have not forgot about our corruption bars, don't you for Don't you forget? Nick? I got big plans for the corruption bars, big plans, um, and I'm so glad I've got two of them because I can. I'm gonna be using both of them. This guy draws a gun, he fires. Um, I have a character sheet for this, Yes he does. He's going to fire at tal because because where is out in the open. But like, uh so when you popped up out of the box, the ship is off directly to your right. At about three o'clock. There was one guy in the back of that, which is the one sewel shot. There was one guy directly in front of the box like he was going to pick this box up, so he would. That's the one tale shot. The other guy is kind of um, he's more at like ten, he's at ten o'clock, m on on the clock face and um, he's the he's kind of the last one left at least in terms of this. Um he does get a too success. So twel, what is your armor rating? Uh? It is? I have? Where is it? Mm? Hmmm? Are you wearing any armor? Is? I guess the next? Oh? I have a plus two? Uh yeah, I was looking for it. I couldn't find it on Okay, okay, so roll roll two D six. Every six that you roll in the gates a point of damage. Yeah. Um, the vulcan carbine does two points of damage. You only take one, okay, so you'll take one. Um. It probably clips your shoulder to it. You see this happen. It kind of tears away some of towel's uh flesh, um, maybe even splattering right on you, back to back. Um, nothing but a flesh wound. How, nothing but a flesh wound. Um, he's a bad shot kind of loop. I guess back around, all of you get a chance to make an attack, I will shoot him, I thought, Um, Suel, I'm also going to give you a shot as well. UM give me Oh yeah, both of you, because this is the last one. You're both gonna shoot this guy, right, yeah yeah, arn't it? Look at that damn three six? It's okay. What we see is a towel fire shot and miss. Maybe it was the same arm. Like the wound. UM has made her a little unstable. Um, soul, you can you have this shot? This is easy. He's out in the open um. This is what you do. So Healey's gonna roll that lovely to see how Machina gates none of it. U talk to me about your critical damage? How what does the what does it say? The krit range is on the weapon? So is this one? Okay, so that's two additional points because you had three krits um the krit range has already covered. You have two additional ones. Plus what is the damage? So the damage is A three, So five points of damage plus roll two D six twice correct two D six one yeah, twenty one. Now I also have the executioner perk which lets me flip it. Yep, am, I allowed to know what the twenty one this first? So twelve is disoriented and they're stunned, and twenty one is broken nose. They're stunned and they lose points to manipulation. So either way, that way they're stunned. Okay, I'll just did a perking nose. Okay, you're gonna roll again two krits oh, okay, roll slash, roll two D sixty six. So fifty six is severed artery in the leg and sixty five is pierced heart. I go with sixty five. I like sixty five. I thought you would they do yes, exactly, h this. It doesn't matter how much damage this guy does because you pierce straight through his heart a dead eye shot with a critical uh three critical success. I just want to say the lethality of Coriolis comes out in the critical hit chart and then rub it right in. This literally says sixty five. Pierced heart fatal. Yes, your heart beats one final time. Create a new PC. They straight up there, They're like the other one. The other one is so the two fatal ones are pierced heart and crushed skull. Crushed skull says the same, and it says you are instantly killed. Your adventure ends here. Create a new PC. Salt in that wound. Well, then that's not this case. And uh tell you feel balance? You feel you feel that massive shot ring out and right past, probably brushing towel's hair as it pierces this man's heart. Um, you see him take a breath, his heart pumps blood out, and he falls face down. I turn and salute school. So would you like to write a box to the bottom blah blah? So I would, However, I would like to have a quick moment where as he pulls that last trigger, sewel has kind of like a slow mo emotion that he just takes a breath and he feels kind of weird. Although he's killed multiple times before, he feels very different in the sense of pulling this trigger. He has a bit of a shiver and has like this gut wrenching feeling before he gets up to He snaps himself out of it and gets up, and then he just kind of like feels dazed, and then he just runs back to the box and prepares to I'm not even gonna make you roll for this. You tell me how you get to the bottom. You rolled the final shot, you killed it, look like a badass on your way down, So I think, so isn't gonna close the box obviously, of course I don't even I don't even think he's going to go in the box. He's gonna leave the lid on. He's just gonna like try to write it down. Yeah, just write it down like a skateboard, but like holding it like very tight and like I don't know, like like low Crouch Ninja surf down the thing with the sniperer like on his back, and you watch as he rides this box to the bottom like a like a surfboard or a skateboard all the way and it comes to a thud and so very easily like jumps off of it and takes his uh kind of you land on the top of the box carrying of a leak, and Lamara, bot's better. Why not? I'll jump and I'll land on the box on the leaf and U and I'm just gonna look down like what the fuck you hear a knock? Hell, I will I will kill I'm like stuck inside. I'll jump off and then I'll pry the box off. You don't have a problem. You put this lid in place. Oh man, we couldn't from the angle it was. It was that we were in there realf very easily. We couldn't get Okay, she stands, Um, Okay, Actually I think I think we're the two best liars on the team. Actually, I don't think she's a great liar place path. Yeah, she's really good at line, but she's also doesn't want to lie like, she doesn't have the heart for line. She doesn't use it for manipulation purposes, not really. Um and so Lumura Malik kind of step out. Um. There are bodies everywhere, open box. It's everywhere. Yep, I'm going to start grabbing bodies throwing them in the boxes. Yeah, you guys, take just a few minutes, choses bodies into boxes, put the boxes on the transport and you can see it. The entryway into this facility makeshift pieces, almost like stepping stones through kind of soggy bog area that lead up to it. It is definitely made of the same kind of general sandstone, but it feels more like a medical facility. Square, very square around the edge. The's no decoration, nothing really special about it, and time has not been kind to it. There's an entire wing that seems to be partially collapsed here or there, but there is activity on the inside. Yeah, there's activity on the inside. And as Lamar kind of brushes herself off and takes the walk of shame. As she begins to follow behind, Lamar goes ah ah, and she kind of falls to her knees and begins grabbing her ears. Molliqual, stop, yeah, are you okay? Now to mirror, there's this ringing that starts into your ears. I need everybody to roll a wits everybody, um, well, these three. Anybody that's a mystic means a roll wits pook. Is that her role? That's perfect? Then I'll take the first one because that's better. Okay, everybody succeeds um for a talent to mirror. It starts out as a ringing and slowly begins to turn into this kind of melodic song. Is it familiar like the hum of the artifacts? M hmm, it's different. I know thissful from the bar. I know the song. She goes, you hear it? She's still grabbing her head as if it's a little painful. She goes, it's ending the song. It's coming to an end. Can you hear it? I grab her on the shoulder. I say, Lamara, we will get to where the song is coming from. Come on, let's go. She is struggling. She didn't roll us successfully as all of you, and she says, you can hear it, can't you hear it? And I think if the both of you take a moment, you might actually be able to make out some of the lyrics for the first time. Words whispered on the air and this silent song. What you get is this the voice sings, the fragments come together, a thousand faces for the shadows, my children, my beloved. Hear my song and become it in your darkest hour. Hear my song and defend it. Sing brothers, Sing sisters, sing it. And the four or five of you stumbled towards the entrance of this medical facility. Nobody seems to be around, and as you get to just the point where you might actually cross into the doorway, you hear the sound of a vessel, a ship whirling up, and something amazing rises from behind the medical facility, a blue and white vessel shaped like a butterfly. It is not of any technology you've ever seen in your lifetime, and definitely not in the third horizon. It takes flight, hovers for a moment, blowing all of your hair back, pressing dirt and everything away, and the white butterfly it takes off once again. Something out there. Maybe the darkness warned them that you all were coming. The white butterfly is once again lost to the third horizon, leaving behind in its wake only destruction. Well shit, did you get that? Yes, there it is. You saw it with your own eyes. We gotta hurry. Is she okay? You mean Lamara? Yeah? I don't know. Is she okay? She looks a bit dazed and very weak at this point. Whatever it's you know, it's like whatever ringing in her ear is like it's messing up like everything when you have intervieer problems, right, it just really fucks up everything. And so she seems a bit disoriented, like she's trying to drown this song out, but it is just like it's tearing away at her skull. He said, there's a ship here right like that. Yeah, it looks just like the cargo ship that was out front. They're kind of pretty standard. Uh, it's whatever they were moving all of this, all of this cargo off of the out of the swamp with and then we see the medical facility. You're at the door. Yeah, can we go in now? Um? Well, question, is there any physical manifestations of the emisphere through Tamir's glasses? Interesting because he's been leaving recipue. Um. Yes, because Lamara that's seen it. You kind of flipped through, uh, your glasses. You do see other things like through the walls. Um, I ask what, um, you see this as a medical facility. You see kind of the normal stuff. It's links Um. I don't know why. It's kind of the way that it's always portrayed like Superman's X ray vision goes through like layers and layers and layers and even super buildings, but like first it's the framework layer and then it's this and they can go through and break. It's kind of the thing, and you're you. You keep going and you kind of tune in on the one uh setting that seems to let you kind of see through. There aren't as many people here as you thought. Uh. In fact, um, it's rather empty except for a room full of beds. There seem to be people lying in them. Um, there seems to be one room that people are kind of moving around, and there's about three or four of them maybe, and then there's a separate room that only has two beds in it. Figures also lay on these beds. That's about all that you can kind of manage to see in terms of like the population of this place and who who is actually here. As for the emissary, No, you do not pick up on the emissary scent. Tami will go ahead and relay that information. This means you didn't go this way whomar goes, or it means he's not here anymore, or either way, he said, there are some things over there. We should probably go take a look at what those are. Right, Yeah, how do you want to move forward or do you want to prep this? Yes, let's go. Okay, and you head into the facility before we head in. Are there any so this is the only building? Right? Is that? Is that correct? Um? There are some other like small facilities that probably is like storage because again they're they're using what's left of what's around them that hasn't sunken down. Um. You do know that there is more accessible, but it seems to be on the back side of this medical facility, like you have to pass through it to get to it. Does Malik see anything with an antenna? Interesting role in observation? So many character shoots. Uh, I'm gonna give you a darkness point. Oh you didn't roll so well? Okay, y'all, I'm not gonna be able to all these darkness points before its failed. Okay. Out here, you don't seem to see anything that signifies that there is a transponder or something that's blocking signal outside. Gotcha? You head in. They have added power to this facility. The door um, though kind of molded over the glass. Uh, definitely Uh, stained and from time UH slides open, someone can go in. Yeah. If Soul doesn't go in, Towel's going straight in past him because I don't know. Suddenly suddenly we've decided that we're waiting. Well, I was just waiting to see if there was any more dialogue in me tow him. But maybe all of you do. The five of you stand there like, okay, here we go. Twel takes the first step in, followed by tom Or and I'm probably Sulum. And as you enter the space, U it is a medical facility, but this is a research medical facility. UM who pulled the files the first time around on this place to be here, Samir, I hacked it and hand it with you, right. This facility was originally put here all those years ago before this happened as UM, a correction facility, a place to help mystics, a place to get rid of their sickness. UM. There were a lot of experiments probably done here, a lot of UM obscure treatments tried all those years ago, and it was shut down because of the liberal of cruelty in which this facility was used. Not to mention the fact that it also sunk into a song okay, yeah, go ahead. Sorry, Oh that's it. Just so you know, walking in, like and you walk in, this is not This is not a hospital, so there's not like a lobby where you might have checked in. This is like going into any other institution. You walk in. There probably was glass before where somebody would have set behind it. It's a tiny, small space. You can see a door to your right that leads down probably tiny sterile hallways. They go into mass amounts of room after room after room where people were tortured under the guise of science and medicine for years, and there's a possibility that they have reinstated its initial purpose. If I don't run into anybody, I'm I'm keeping it. I want to first off, try to track if I'm I'm going to try to follow the song really okay, to try to like ride through the song. And I also can see where people are. You can actually see through the walls, which is a real plus plus for all of you. Yeah, and you and I talked earlier specifically about this song. Not everybody realized Tal has heard this song before. Upon her first brush with her mystic powers, she heard this song through the ether. I'm not entirely sure that she knew who it was singing, But I'm pretty sure she's figuring it out. But here the Emissaria is one of five who has been singing for weeks, crying out to mystics all over the third Horizon a requiem, and I will essentially follow the song as well as you can. And you begin kind of walking these holes. You realize that all of these doors stand open. There was stuff here. It's that feeling of kids clearing out for summer vacation. Papers left behind, boxes unneeded, the important stuff just discarded, the important stuff taken right. Even though it's repurposed facility, they have cleared out the majority of these rooms. And as you get to the end of one of the hallways, this song ringing out ever clearer. It repeats that same lyric over and over in Lumara continues to struggle. Now a single tear runs down her face with the amount of pain that she's feeling in her head, and she keeps saying, you can hear her tell it's it's the last, It's the end. I know, Lumara, when we open this door, you might have to save this guy. She kind of she goes, but what if I can't? You can, Lumara, you told me know what ifs? And I take a t dose out of one of my pockets and I put it in her hand. Um, I'm going to play a card here, um, the Lady of Tears. I'm going to play a song. This song. As you kind of get to towards the end of this hallway is getting clearer for you and Tamir. It looks like the first room you're going to go into, the one with the many uh but tables, But you begin to see that some of these rooms have also been exchanged into cells. You can smell the filth, the body odor, death, rot of skin and flesh. Um, but no people yet. And as you go to reach for that door, Umara is struggling to keep herself upright, rather distracted, But isn't in fact soul Soul, you did something a few hours ago before we got to this facility, before we ever got to the cigarette. You said a prayer? Did you said a prayer? And prayers are delivered by the Messenger. The ghosts of Zine claimed to be the Messenger, incarnate a collection of their physical form here in the third horizon. Some call it blasphemous others, I think it is possibly a saving grace. But you see something that you have never seen before. Some would call it a ghost. It appears before you, and the world around slows tal reaching for this door handle. The figure, though relatively translucent and a bit ghostly, does have human qualities to some degree. Two legs, two limbs, but they are strangely still a little different, elongated and obscure around the top of the head and kind of the jaw line, very much designating that it is not human, though it is trying to be. And you recognize this as the ghost of Zene, the emissary that you have been seeking, and it speaks to you. Doesn't move its mouth, it doesn't talk, but you can hear it in your head. It says, I heard your prayer, So what the fuck? Okay did pray? Did you not? Yeah? Because I am I am the emmissary, so the one that I hope you are seeking. Okay, And he says I I look around. Yeah, you're like everybody and they're all like like super slow motion around you, as if the world has kind of stopped. Are you doing this? To some degree, time and space work differently when you are like us. Oh, okay, and when you say that, a smile comes across this emissary space. Yes, when I am dead, I thought I just died. Okay again, smile, no opening of the mouth, just a smile. And he says you are an interesting choice, Soul, but I must deliver a message to someone quis listening, not too a mystic. And he says, I have four siblings. They have fled, Coriolis and Zene. They're hiding amongst the stars, and you have to find them, Soul. You have to protect them, you and your family. And what I mean, the stars is pretty big. Do you where where exactly? If you can point in the direction, maybe they would not be safe. If I knew, how would I find them? How did you find me? I followed them and I point to the slow moo of like the crew. He says, well, then I suggest you keep following them, Soul. Yeah, yeah, I'm saying this is really weird. Yeah, it is really weird. Yeah, you're like a count all for him. Yeah, you're you're speaking to a literal ghost. This is this is the last of his energy. And he tells you that He says, I have gathered the last of what is left of me to give you this message? Soul? Okay? What's the message to find my siblings? Oh? Okay? Or the third horizon will fall and what you know will be no more. The first horizon waits, So what you're not here? Are you? Are you here? Am fading? So we don't fight? Come back like are we need to? And you can see it's there. There is like a lightning. It's it's kind of infecting. He says, I cannot My time is served. They got what they needed from me. What where are you? And now the secrets lie with one the priestess, priestess, priestess. Uh so, yeah, I'm sorry for what is coming? Wait? What's coming? Revenge? Find my sibling? Soul? You again, there's not much going by? Wait I do I? Are you gonna go back to normal? Or do I just And he begins to fade until it has all gone and the world seems to like and I opened the door, yep, and the door clicks open, Soul, And there's this moment where you're just like whoo and slung back in. And as the door slings open, this room smells of death. Flies from the swamp, fill this space. Every Body in this room is dead, I think instinctively, as soon as he smells that he's gonna ready his rifle. I just pointed down the room. Link stands in front of Lamar. Yeah. I essentially opened the door, gun ready to shoot buddy. Yeah, Lamara covers her face. There's no one in this room. This room was meant to be left, she because but they're all did are their bodies? Yeah, twelve of them laid out on medical slabs. They've been tortured, experimented on. They are emaciated. Some of them have very clearly been beaten um to some degree. They have markings around their wrists and ankles where they've clearly been chained or kept for a while. Um, is this the room? Well, I guess, is this the room that I saw that we saw Julissa go into earlier? Or was that a different room? You saw Julissa passed by the hallway you just left like you were seeing through um okay Castia's eyes, like she passed down this hallway. So you're getting very close. This is not the room. You didn't see her go into a room necessarily just kind of cross across a tea hallway. But you seem to be in the right place, but this room stands empty. I'll continue. Malik like looks at his wrist, like I think he has one of those like data. He's got a personal data thing too. Um I forgot it's called. But he is the hollow cron thing. He like swipes it like you know, like a like a smart watch, and he walks into the room and he does like he pulls up his chimag over his face and walks into the room. And he does the same thing he did in Lamara's headed cell, where he like hits a few buttons on his watch and like takes a scan of this room and saves the image to his watch. So you see like this wire frame of like blue like lines to sort of out and then like rotates and then back down, and he has saved a three representation of this room. Lamar probably follows you in and you all see her in a rather pensive stance as she kind of goes body to body and she's kind of talking to herself and she says that don't understand how could anyone do this to people. She's probably never seen mass torture in this way. Death has always been a normal thing, and this is not normal. These people died out of the cycle of life. And as a doctor, she recognizes the pain that they went where she can feel it in the air, and it moves her. Tomorrow we might be able to save one more. She kind of turns and she says, we didn't get to them in time. Not these I don't see Shirley here, you do not and you head to the next room down to me, or you do know that this room is as two bodies on slaps in it and one active person. I opened that door. There's some good raised. You know who's there that door? Sime? Is it okay? You open that door and there's this strange moment in time where everything lines up visions of the past you now realize our visions of the future. And something happens. As the door swings open. You see a strange rip and tear in time over the emaciated, rather pale white body of the emissary that lies limp arm hanging from the side. Whatever has happened to it has created a rip or tear in time. Across from this medical slab lies a woman. Next to her stands a woman helmet off and on a table, and she finishes pushing liquid into this ivy that this woman is attached to, and as the door swings open, she reaches for a gun at her hip. Julissa, of course, we've seen this moment in Tao's mind, and the camera follows the gun at point range as it turns and she points it at all four of you. Oh yeah, as she hears. As soon as I open. As soon as I opened that door, I already know it's on the other side, and I say, Julissa, stop, She turns, the gun is at ready. She looks down the barrel without occasion, all of you, she sees me with a gun pointed at her too, seul you have not seen this person in a long time, a long long time. You know that face, you know those eyes, you know the ferocity, and she looks dead down the barrel, and your sister says, what the fuck are you doing here, Tao, I'm here to save the person you are trying to kill. If she's talking about I'm not trying to kill her. I'm trying to save her. Quick you put in her name. Her code name was the Black the Black Chameleon. Okay, thanks, you're killing her. I could feel it and I'm starting to walk closer. I'm trying to do it, but she says, I'm not killing her. She says, what I'm giving her is a fake drug to make her look dead. She's the only person in this room that's dead is the emissary. And she points the gun from you to the dead body of the emissary and the massive terran time that floats above his body. She says, I stood here, I watched him torture him until the darkness was so bad it ripped a hole in space and time. They know that there are others and surely knows where they are, okay, and they will do everything in their power to assure that. She tells them until she's dead. Let's get her out of here right now. Your sister at that understands and she clicks it. So have you stepped in the room yet? I would have been kind of right behind her steps till probably steps in A is that beautiful camera moment where Sewel now stands in the doorway Leek and Lamara and to Miror not far behind, but hm, what was a click of the gun into safety quickly points once again at the doorway, and what the fuck is he doing here. He's the one that got us as far. I lower my gun and I'm just like black chameleon plaris all right, he fully lowers his gun. Now it's like, and I see that's fair. Do I see them the priestess her up? Yeah, totally, Yeah, you go to pick her up. Julius has got some personal things here she needs to deal with. Um, you kind of left her, yeah, and just never talked to her again for like ten years. Um, and uh, she goes. She doesn't say anything. She keeps a gun on you until you all of you finish your business. For a split second, there seems to be like a break in Seul's face, but then it immediately reflects back to his natural habitat, and he immediately raises his gun and points at Julissa. She steps in the two of you now standing probably barrel to barrel, and she says, I don't know what you're doing here or why you with my sister, but I have worked very hard to keep my family safe, and I know what you do, and I know who you work for. You used to work for. It works for me now and I like, like point that as I pick up surely, I point at how I'm like, listen, Um, I don't know what you're doing, and there's a lot that I'm learning right now. This might not be the time to be pointing the guns at each other. Perhaps we can talk after we leave. She looks at you intently like you're right, and I don't like it that you're right. So you shut your milk and she nah blah blah blah blah blaw and she fires off into the ceiling. Yes, that's very helpful, funny enough, you're seeing tow give to me the exact same look. But I'll tell you this, Seul. She's aged right, and she looks good. Yeah, Soul probably takes a moment to like, try to again. He doesn't understand these feelings right. There's a lot of conflict right down. And she steps into you, um with um a presence of not being scared of you, and she gets almost kind of nose to nose with you, and she says, next time, I'm going to put them right inside you, and if you fuck my sister over, I will shoot you out on the airlock and watch until your body floats into darkness. HM. Soul for the first time, he cannot make eye contact and looks away as if he's afraid, really in your space, and he's right, yeah, he's gonna mutter. It's nice to see you too. She goes, ah, and she like clicks the gun in and she looks around at the other two goes and who are these and why is she? Ah? She goes, we have to get out of here. We have to do it now, Mirror, wellake Lumara, all right, let's go. I'm already already holding Sholey halfway out the door, like, let's go. She goes, I'm Julissa. I'm tell sister, we figured it out. Can I walk towards the Emissaria's body, of course you can. The air crackles with lightning, there's nothing stopping you from going over to see it. So set they were doing stuff, so sewel feels very drawn and kind of like kind of hypnotic towards the Demissaria's body. And um, is this riff like kind of dangerous? Am I like doing it? Is definitely a smidge on stable. Um. It was hard to make out kind of what Julissa was saying. You know what, ta mirror, you could make a role on this. Um, I'd let you m hmm, this is kind of your mystic ability. Excuse me, barrols okay, um, but Lamara might be able to help you. Okay, you and Soul and maybe even Lamara walk over again. She is devastated at the death of a creature like this, This, this being that came here to help us, has been tortured to the point of death. I think so, but no, no, you're good. I was just going to say, at a two mystic power. You can still feel it in the air. Somebody used some kind of extreme mystic power to rip from the emissary the information that they needed, and in doing so made this ripped in time. Trying to pull such power and information from a being like this and using that kind of power caused this cosmic tear, something super unnatural. Their body lays um, not even emaciated down to the bone. Their face open and jagged. They've clearly sucked the life from this creature or from this being. Um, it's mouth lays open. And and so I think because you get close, because they spoke to you. Yeah, he's going to walk up as close as he can and try to hold He's gonna try to go and try to hold the limp hand of the Emissaria. I don't know what the emissari they have a hand. Yeah it has a hand. Yeah, it does have a hand. It's frail and finn and is um. Okay, actually, you know what, I'm just gonna read this because I think this is um. The body looks a bit mummified. Um only soul. Actually, no, I'm gonna just let you all. I guess I'll let you all see this. As you stand above the Emissary's mummified body, the steel bed suddenly begins to shake, and soot in the air forms a whirlwind. A shrill high note intensifies inside of each of you, blocking out all other sounds, and you feel yourself begin to vibrate in tune. A throbbing headache sets in, and your skin begins to crawl. As the whirlwind of soit and dust suddenly begins to envelope the whole room, It appears to all of you as if your body and the room it's self vibrate in harmony, and you experience this moment of perfect stillness. From this corrupted face of the emmissary, jaw open, emaciated, terror eye sockets, This fire burst forth from the emissary's dark eyes and mouth, and all of you are kind of blinded by bright light as the ground your feet disappears, and you feel like you're transported somewhere else, far away for a while. As you regain your senses, surely in your hand. Still, the five of you are surrounded by a terraced field. Outdoors sunlight, and around you are high crops. Farther down, in the lush green valley, you see a small group of white spherical buildings and perfect rows. The pale sun chases each of them across the sky, and on the horizon, three enormous cigarettes reach for the heavens. A wind chime can be heard somewhere off in the distance, and then you hear singing behind you, a spot someone approaching as you cross the field, a crossing approaching as you across the field. The song is in a foreign tongue, but it moves each of you deeply to your core, though the singer itself seems rather ordinary. A short and drags looking person dressed in a long yellow robe with simple floral embroideris and white and gold, held together at the waist with three simple white ribbons, A red shawl covers the shoulders, and a simple hat and Millie colors protects the shaved head from the sun. And the tattoos of scrolling veins on the forehead and cheeks contrasting and gold against the black skin frame a friendly smile, but a weathered face. The singer bowls courteously and addresses you, leaning on a rather short walking stick. So this is you would know because you have faced them before. This is the emissary again. They stand at a distance and stare at each of you, making eye contact, recognizing who you are, that you heard their song and you came. The singer looks up towards the hastily darkening sky. It begins to roll in. A thunderstorm comes rolling down the mountain side, and wind picks up as a gentle rain begins to fall, and you hear the emmissary simply say, we do not have much time the enemy. They have advanced their plans much farther than ever expected, and the Taoan incident was simply the beginning. The white butterfly will continue to chip away at the barricade you build all those years ago. Its agents are awakening here in the third horizon, and my siblings are in danger. I'm sorry that my song was not strong enough to reach you sooner. Together we hope to stir your forgotten memories and ready you for a coming storm. But the winged shadow threatens everything. Thunder again rolls in the background, Lightning strikes. I'm sorry. I'm simply an echo of my true self. But without the others, the strong will never the song will never be strong enough, and without our song, there is no hope for the third horizon. The sky is no longer blue, is black. I have to go now. Where do we go from here? What do you need us to do? I know that you have questions, but I cannot answer all of them. I have given Shorely something important, something that nobody else can have. Kind of clutch her a little bit tighter to my chest. Can I try to reach out? Are very far away there at the other end of the field. You're not even seeing your lips move again. It's all in your head. You're just seeing their figures stand there and stillness on this cane, I soul tries to like gather himself. He seems very shocking up. He's gonna say, I've got your message, and I'm sorry. I couldn't hear it in person. He says sorry. He says, oh yeah, you say I'm sorry again, maybe under your feet, repeating it. I'm sorry, I'm sorry. The series is there is no time for being sorry. My life was destined to be lost. It is my fate. The butterfly sought to destroy me by sapping energy from the darkness. Something is about to break through. Do not fret. We will meet again, but you must return home. Now. This singer bows again, and with this blinding flash of light, you find yourself back inside of this room. This energy that kind of came out, this dustiness from the immissarious sucked back into the body and the rip and terrance space stands there once again. Unfortunately, the energy pulled back in these powerful winds and the rooms, and this ripping of darkness that unfolds tears the emissaries bodies to shreds, right in front of all of you, as if it is it is a slip of paper. The dark flaps gather to form this kind of grotesque pile in its place. Everybody out, come on, let's go. I started, yeah, yeah, I started heading out, and as I leave, I just kind of like my eyes linger at the body and just he is a little of lost in thought and then just snaps back and tries to catch up with the group as we go. I say, Melissa, do you have a ship? No, I was going to take one of theirs. I already stole a parrot. We know where one is. Um, yeah, we should go this way. She gestures there are people down that way. Okay. Um and um, she says, I know I have a lot of explaining to do, but come on, um, and she tries to lead you out. I'm sure her and Seul fight for who's first. Um. At least she wants to make sure she's on the front to lead the group through safety. UM. For sure. After that, Soul's a little passive, but he's still alert, and he's gonna be trying to more than likely because I mean, look, you got talent and her sister running front. I'm not gonna get involved with that. I'm going Soul's gonna kind of lean back and kind of cover the rear, make sure no one's following us or anything. To be fair, my arms are full, I am carrying. I can't shoot anything. I can't shoot anything that I will keep a safe distance away from um, jealousa but kind of like keep my head down, like oh fun fun. Yeah, you begin walking, Tao, something in the darkness shifts. It's always coming to find you. Christys Sholey in your arms begins kind of jerking, and um, this kind of foam begins kind of coming in and around her mouth. Her head is jarring backwards. She seems to either be having some kind of reaction to the medicine or she might have been given too much. Lamara, Lamara, what's happening. I don't know what did you give her? And she's like, I don't know. I just she's you don't know, um, and so Lamara runs over Malik. I mean, Mike, I don't know who you are. If you wanted to make a medicurgey role to see if she can try to diagnose what's happening. I did give her a t dose. You hit her with a t doose. No, no, I gave Oh you gave Handmara a ttos. So she calls it unless she's put it away, she still has it in her hand. Yeah, she's got a tetos and a medikit like that's what she's been carrying. So let's get that medacurgey role and we'll see what she knows. She compel two. Um, she kind of uh shecause you gotta put her down, So I put her down, um gently yeah, gently. Um. She's kind of like jarring on the floor and she's like hold her head. And Lamara begins like checking her pulse and she's like she's fading. Um, your sister is like, of course, that's what the drugs supposed to do. It's most to make her look like she's dead. And Lumara goes, I think that you overdosed her, and she hits her with this t dose. You watch as her body like jumps with his teeto's and her body still convulsive. It doesn't make a difference. And lu More's like, there's not anything that I can do here. I have no way to clear her system of this. I don't I don't have an antidote. And she looks at all of you as Jolie's body goes limp, and the last image we see is priest to show lely on the floor between all of you, her head laid to the side, the last bit of foam kind of dripping from her mouth as she lays dead on the floor.
