Arise minions, and welcome to this Unmade Gaming production. Joined the crew of
the Defiant as they journey through the Third Horizon at the Mercy of the Icons,
trying to understand just what's happening to the mystics in this Coriolist campaign void.
The show you're about to listen to was originally a live stream actual play
on twitch dot tv slash Unmade Gaming. Arise, minions, and welcome to
Unmade Gaming. We are here for another episode of this game. And again
they can't hear you because my twitch broke. It's okay, we're fixing it.
We're fixing it in post. We're fixing it in post. Don't worry.
I mean by post I mean live now they can hear you. He
did three two one countdown, Yeah, I said three two welcomes that shut
up fault down to letting us know there was a countdown. We're here for
the last episode forever at this rate, avoid episode twenty three punishment. I'm
not looking forward to it, and I know that no one else is that
being said. We're here said, oh god, if you guys like what
we do here and you want to support the channel, the best way to
do that is by joining us over on our Patreon or subscribing here on our
Twitch. And if you want to talk about the show and all the other
lovely shows we do, join us to our discord links for all that stuff
down below. And before we talk about the corruption bar which has suddenly disappeared,
we have one another announcement that Paul loves to hate. We'd like to
thank our show producer of The Awkward Company, which is a media company focusing
on elevating content creators and assisting their production value and growth. Thank you so
much, Paul and The Awkward Company. And in the bottom right hand corner
you can't see it right now, we'll see it in a little bit.
You'll see the corruption bar. That bar shows two purposes. One is when
that bar fills Doc gets doing the hell she wants to us with her nine
darkness points and her devilish grin. And two, every single dollar that goes
into that pot goes back to these wonderful, beautifulness and faces you see here
before you. That being said, I will turn things over to our evil
overlord, donet Master Gamemaster dot dot take us away into space. I am
the lady of many names, none of which might got right just kidding dot
I am. I don't even know where to start. We could pick up
exactly where we left off, but I feel like it is the finale,
and maybe a small recap is an order. You've come a long way since
you first met on Coriolis and found your way lost all the way in the
dark system of town to recover some information that still hasn't quite managed to leak
to the public. That a First Horizon agent ship has made its way,
broken through what was thought to be an impossibility, and they are here now
planting an insurgency, one that seems to want to disrupt the Third Horizon to
its core, the Consortium, in fact, and they want to do it
by pinning it all on the order of the param something called the Mysticides.
They have been in search of a group of people, one person in particular,
and Emmissary. He calls himself a physical representation of the Messenger, one
of five, and they did in fact find the Emissary, but not in
time. They found him in a medical facility on the planet of Kua,
that is that, in fact, the planet that Coriola's orbits, and after
trudging through deadly swamp and I don't know. Riding some boxes down a slope,
they made their way into this medical facility, found a dead emissary,
a sister, and a woman that they have been looking for Christus Showlely,
someone that tal met in our very very first season. Unfortunately, whatever your
sister gave her, if it is to believe to be true, even if
it was supposed to pose as death, it seems that maybe, thanks to
the darkness that encroaches in this deep dark swamp of death, that she overdosed.
And as she foams at the mouth, the four of you, including
Julissa and Lamara, stand around this woman who lies very very still and very
very dead. You are and still inside the medical facility, just steps outside
the door. We can't we can't stay here. We have to go.
I start picking her up again, to keep going. Okay, you begin
to move her her dead body. Does anybody else want to do anything?
What? What's going on? In the so in this medical facility? Where
are we in it? I forget to We didn't move too far away from
the room. No, you basically stepped outside. You kind of came around
a door and there was a hallway um with lots of doors. You checked
the first one there seemed to be um the room with all the other dead
mistakes that had been cured. Um right, um. And then you found
the room with just Showley and the h emissary. His body exploded. You
all had a shared vision. You moved, Showy tried, and we're trying
to get out to the vessel that so that you could abscond out of here.
I assume since they're getting everything out of here, who they were never
here? Well kind of uh, there's no like computery stuff. Oh no,
okay, okay, oh no, this is it is um yeah,
no, no, no, no. If they have any kind of major
tech, it's gonna be movable tech. Right, it's like a close laptop
or it goes with them. It is not hard word and not this far
out in um taler are you holding anything? Like are your hands occupied?
I mean I'm picking up showing while you're picking her up, I like pull
through like whatever, like your side pack or whatever it is. And I
pulled out the device I handed you earlier, and you just see Maliks start
like typing on it, um and dot. I'm going to have the shuttle
leave the ship and meet us where we grabbed the airboat. You're going to
go back through the swamp to where you picked the airboat up the first time.
Is there no other way to get back? I don't know if any
other way to get back. No, we're gonna go out to the ship.
That's right, we still left you. Yeah, there was a shipping.
There are two vessels. There are two vessels, yeah, earby,
the one out front and the one where you talked the dead bodies and crates.
Yeah, so which that one's the closest, right, it's a pedal
jumper. You could jump it. You could use it to fly from there
back to the monolith where your ship is parked. We're not parked at the
monolith. We're part from the algal So that is the plan is tal is
picking up the body. She's going out to that ship. She's going to
steal that ship and get back to the Defiant. Cool, that's the plan.
Great, Um, I forgot about that Ship's great? Make sense?
I did not. As if that ship's gone, then we're gonna go ahead
to the other ship that I have the piece from. Yeah, that's right.
Yeah, you took that piece so they can't get off. That's actually
true. Anybody else wanted to. We had a way to leave. I
think it's tall as you're like starting to lift showy u. Tamir is going
to kind of put his hand on yours for a moment, be like,
wait, we can do something about this. I don't know what effect if
it works if we wait too long. Um uh uh, Tamir, I'm
a doctor and I can tell you. Um, she's dead, I know.
And like Tamia's going to kind of look at Malik for a moment,
which is this like apologetic look in his face, and he's going to swing
his stuffle bag down and kind of go through it and pull out the crystal
urn. Lumara takes two steps back. What are you doing? What is
that we need? Truly a door at the end of the hallway. It's
it's open. I figure steps out at the very very end. I figured.
You all know. She wears her very cool outfit and her very cool
helmet, and her very cool gun removes itself and she you hear it like
as the Bulkan pistol and do you hear Causha say you should not be here.
I'm a spin around and do a cool gun point at her cool do
you fire I can't remember. This is me being just this is this is
kausha. I mean, like, did we establish issue was bad? Oh?
Yeah, many many at times? We have video evidence that she bad.
She's bad. Yes. If Seul hesitates tel, I'm gonna spin around
and fire, okay, and I'm going to where is my stupid character sheet?
Actually, fuck it, Tal's gonna draw and shoot anyways, I'm gonna
use my judge talent, which is an autocrit hit on her. Okay,
I don't know what that means. I've done this three times. I'd never
know you have. Do you still have to roll the attack? So?
Um, I will go ahead and let you roll the range combat. So
go ahead and get the shot off basically on. Let me make sure I
don't have any extras okay? Cool? Oh wait, no, I add
a bonus right with my accelerated carbon plus one? Correct? Okay, cool,
I'm learning all right? Three two one? I don't know why I
counted down two? Okay, you can make that a critical? Is that
what you were saying? Yeah, I want to do that, great boxer.
Um wait, no, what makes a damage critical? Oh right?
It just means she takes more damage, it says autocrit hit. Autocrit hit,
So then maybe you don't roll for it it. Yeah, so it's
it's an automatic christ So you get to do the damage of the normal thing,
and then you also get to roll one time on the KRIT table,
which is page ninety six. Okay, that's roll on the KRIT table two
D six D six. She is going to take that hit. Okay.
So that's a darkness point I believe to use for dot because that was a
thing. Okay, now as a reminder, mechanical thing. Sorry, chat
um, you have the executioner. So a A twenty one is a broken
nose. They are stunned for one turn. A twelve is disoriented. They
are stunned for one turn. The difference is the broken nose would give her
a minus to the manipulation. So which one would you like to do the
the I'll do the broken nose, okay. Okay. So she's going to
take the damage. So you rolled the two, she rolled her four,
got none. So she's going to take all the damage of whatever the weapon
is. So how much damage does your weapon do? Three? Oh?
Damn? Okay, the shot fires off the armors she's wearing. Is no
joke and it pings off of her helmet. It was a dead eye headshot.
Has she not been wearing it? But you see that the front of
her helmet now is collapsed in blood begins to drip from a kind of a
crumbled and very messed up faceplate area where you have broken her nose underneath.
She screams out, and she dropped her weapon. I would like to shoot
her too. Are you not carrying Yeah, you're carrying trolley, so you
have to take no. I said, I was going to pick her up,
and then then then deer said he stopped me. Oh that's right.
Then you would have put her down. Okay, Yeah, go ahead.
She's she can't take her turn because she's okay, and I still have the
accelerated systol out And that's the plus one for my eye. I just wanted
to make sure that we did this thing success because one so that is a
success. It does hit, she will roll against the armor she's wearing.
Um, she takes all the damage of the weapon. How much is that
to too? Okay, she's still on her feet. Another pin kind of
against her arm or shoulder. She screams out. She hits the ground,
rolls um and kind of ducks around a corner for a little bit of cover,
like the corner at the end, the far end of the hallway.
You all have a moment to react, I say to me, or grab
grab shouler. Let's go everybody out. Is she my man? Is she
blocking her path? No? Okay, she's at the opposite and she would
be chasing you. I would, I would. I'm like prepping to leave,
but I'm gonna showcases. I'm gonna take tail like I'm gonna take the
six. Okay, so I still have my guns pointing at her and liking
dot M say that again, how does this hallway look? She's at the
acid of the hallway and around a corner. This is a U shaped hallway.
Yeah, yeah, you guys are at the middle. If this is
a U, right, this is a whole she's she's she's down there.
Yeah, you're down there and you need to go this way. Okay,
so we just gotta go straight Yeah. Basically you're like looping the corner and
you gotta go straight out, and she would be following you around the corner.
Let's go have a question for you, so I have we can't see
that it's too yellow oh yeah, got it, So I have while everyone
was gone. Uh, Lamara put on my armor. So I've seen her
with less things on. And I've also seen her rummaging through her bag several
times. He would Malik be observant enough. Perhaps this is a retroactive role
to have seen the grenade that Seuel gave her. Um, I thought you
guys took her grenade. You gave her a nice Sewel gave her another one
a thing, gave her another grenade. So it was it was a disabled
grenade. It wasn't disabled. Yeah, that was sul. Seul took it,
gave her the knife I gave Joey too. I'm sorry I gave me
her two grenades. I don't think Malik knows that here's the thing though Kasha
doesn't know. It's a done yeah, and neither does Malik. So would
Malik have seen that, Um, here's the thing, Malik? Well,
uh, you give me the darkness point A fuck off? You know what
I will. I'll see you one better dot. I will give you the
darkness point, but I'm going to use my icon talent. Um, I'm
use my eye con talent, the faceless One's talent, which allows me to
move something that I need into my path. Um, so I am going
to produce a grenade. So what happens is is we start like to move,
and I grab whatever pack Lamara has on it, and I like throw
it open and I reach in and I grab this grenade and like I've never
thrown one before, I just chuck it down the other end pulled the pin.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, I do the whole thing. And then
I, okay, listen, I I just gave you ingredients to make a
bomb. I'm pretty sure I can. So he pulled the pin and it's
it's future. He pushes the button and that is made. That is a
ranged combat attack. Let's make sure. So I don't know what running right?
Yes, and that too. See do grenades give you any bonuses?
Paul? I know you have a bunch of them. Okay, Um,
I don't, Paul's all I don't think it's only with guns? Sure,
right, So how about it too? Success? Okay to my mom,
she says one word. We're all just like fuck her like yeah. So
he grabs this thing, hits the button. It starts to glow blue because
that's how future grenades work, and he throws it down the hallway like tink
tink tink. So is this still that this mantle? Probably, oh geez,
but it looks really I don't know, there's a corruption bar. And
Dot's got some doctors points yes, and I and I and I spent an
icon talent. So maybe Lamar just stole new grenades and I grabbed one of
the live ones. I will say, oh my god, I love is
like the first five minutes of stream and we both just use everything. Yeah,
I mean, I mean she did. She did help Tamir take his
suit off, which is I assume where his grenades might have been. So
perhaps she's stole one of his grenades. Then Dot saying, maybe that's what
happened. There weren't any pockets on that everything that him is in a Duffel
bag on his bag, and that's I'm all right fine, Mike, I'll
let you have it. You have it because uh you can off it goes.
This grenade rolls down the hallway. You hear Kasha kind of make a
hooved, and you hear the sound of armor scuttering across the floor trying to
go up the opposing like parallel hallway um in between it or is of course
all these rooms and um, you all are also going to have to hustle.
Who is carrying? Uh uh? I think pretty priest is Showley yeah
on on Tell's order, like he kind of strength or a yeah strength checker.
She's not. She's not a very big lady. She and you know
that she's real fan, probably to the point of emaciated. Being emaciated.
Well you want you want to use that darkness point? No, I don't.
Julissa could fucking get in here and help. She's clearly struggling. I
see him struggling, and I pick her up. He's still hurt. A
strength check you are you probably still have broken ribs and your body is here
we go, strength horse? Can I use force force? No, because
that would be like pushing her if you wanted to push her down the hallway?
Sure you know, do you like? And she's a very tall,
very frail lady, kennethin lady, and you throw her over your shoulder and
everybody. I need from everyone a dexterity to get the heck out of dodge.
Roll four? Do you want to also? Roll four? Lamar?
I got her? So here is Malik zero? Great? Perfect time at
him and lamara too cool, cool cool cool, Nope, okay, yah
yah, I would just like to preface that this is gonna bite me in
the ass. Seul would not move until everyone was ahead of him. I
appreciate that. I'm gonna give you a chance. Everybody, like, get
around the corner. But there's still an explosion. Oh, I mean I
try to do it. I mean we already had a corruption bar. This
is the last episode she had one nine ten. Now you did check it
pretty far. All of you round the corner, Seul behind you, watching
your six um. As you are all running, you can see the door,
the light from the swamp outside, the smell of that disgusting, deteriorating
place. Wait, they get a plus one because I commanded them to do
to run away. So is that a plus die? They get a plus
one die. Okay, So everybody roll one more decent if you failed.
If you failed, okay, because you did. You did command the whole
group to get the fudge out of here. That's so super smart. Yeah,
yeah, go ahead, everybody roll one one D six. If you
failed, unfortunately, tal does not get it, no, no need nope.
So I tried samere succeeded, right, I does have to be a
six. It's gonna be six. Okay, It's okay. As you're so
closed this this slow motion moment, as all seven of you, we are
in a group of seven now are running for this door, and before you
can make it, the grenade goes off. It just so happens that this
hallway actually is a square. So as you round the corner, so does
Kasha, and there's a moment where you all stare at each other and the
explosion goes off. Debris falls from the ceilings, walled in, walls implode
outward. It is of course at the back end. But unfortunately you are
all hit very hard with um falling beams, leftover oh my god, left
over furniture, UM Jesus um. And you will each for those who failed,
you needed at least one UM success. If you failed, you will
take three points of physical damage. We're talking like rebar the whole nine yards
you're you're crawling through rubble at this point. Does help in this circumstance,
Yes, because holy fuck, if you are yes, if that gives him
three armor against natural damage. Anybody wearing armor, roll your armor. Some
of this is just like falling damage and shit's falling on your head. But
go ahead and roll. So, um whatever your armor is rolled that mini
D six. Yeah, you need a six to to not take any of
that, right, yep? Anybody else want to roll that armor? Tal
you only take two? How about you? Mike? I don't have armor?
Yeah, that's what I thought. I gave it to Lamara. Oh
yeah, Oh, Lumara rolled it two. She rolled it the best out
of everybody. She shields two with her body. Yeah, she takes the
damage that you would have taken. Right. Then I'm gonna roll. I'm
gonna roll her armor. Then, oh I just rolled it, didn't I?
So she takes so she takes two for you? Okay? Could I
do anything? Or? Did you you have armor on? Yes? Yes?
And I also was successful. So then you will roll? Uh your
how how much armor you got? Two? Three, four four? Roll
four D six? Wait four right? Yeah? M yeah, goddamn mother
flapjacks. I got something wet flapjacks? So as really? So am I
to understand? Um? So if we take what is it three hit points?
Um of trauma? Is anybody down? Could I take the damage for?
How do you only have three hit points? Because he got put on
fire because he was set on fire earlier. He's still healing from the trauma.
This is my logic, I would be going last. Is there anything
that I could do to perhaps help Tamir? What was your success level?
Was it one? Didn't? Didn't? Didn't Lamara heal you after the fire
when she was caught off your armor and stuff. It's recovery. It's it's
like an it's like a it's very permanent. But how much did you take
for that too? It's considered a critical injury is pretty much what that was
considered. Um that's okay. We see Tamir go down in the midst of
all of this rubble and things. Lumara has taken the brunt of the damage
for you, and she looks over to your brother, who is laying there
rather lifeless. A piece of rebar is jutting out of his shoulder, very
near the heart um He has pinned to the ground. Lumara, knowing exactly
what to do and what needs to be done, crawls herself across the rubble
on her knees. She is bleeding everywhere, a massive trauma to the head.
I was also trying to get tom She uses Tamir's own like mech welder,
right, Like, don't you have like a torch on you? Yeah,
he's got tools. She cuts the rebar away through very quickly. Um.
She looks over to She looks over to you, and she says,
I need your help. He's your brother. Yeah. Malie crawls over.
Yeah, he's like he's probably crawling with her. And she says, when
we do this, we have to act fast. And she asked you to
pull him free of the rebar that pins him to the ground. I'll do
it, she says, I don't care who does it, but we have
seconds. Uh, yeah, I don't think I don't think Malie's gonna think
about it. Yeah, he grabs him there, but he like hugs him,
like he scoops him and like so that he's like holding him off of
the rebar because I assume he's like pinned to the ground through it, right,
So he scoops him in whichever way. Yeah, and then he's going
to like lift with his whole body. The last of the air in Tamir's
body probably comes out in a rather harsh grunt of pain. M as you
pull him free, kind of meat is left on the rebar and with Morris
has put him down. He does. She crawls on top of you and
looks you dead in the face, and she leans in and she kisses her
brother on the mouth. When she does, she passes a portion of her
life force to you using her mystic ability. Will you roll that for me?
Yes? Where is the bun there? It is mystic power? Hold
on for sure? The check here again a critical success. As she pulls
away, you can see she pulls from him a darkness, gray like the
thickest smoke of the densest cigar. And as she does, the wound on
his shoulder that is actively bleeding out, you can see the thumping of the
heart that close begins to seal shut, not entirely, but enough to stop
the bleeding, and instead it appears on her. She now looks very tired
and is bleeding all over her white cloat coat and hands, and she says,
we have to go. Does she take damage? Yes? She does.
She absorbs two of his three. She can't absorb it? How much
can she absorb? She goes down. Great, Oh no, because I
was just about to hit her with the Actually, that can't be true,
because that's her human steps, isn't it? Yeah, hips by by my
reckoning, I'm pretty sure as a gin she has significantly Why have such low?
Hell, um, that is human big brain? Correct? Why don't
you triple that number? Actually, well we'll double that number for now because
she's not a fullsion. Okay, so she absorbs two of tars three,
bringing you up too, Tamir, back into the waking. Okay, so
question, does Lamara look like she's about to go down? No, she
not anymore? Okay, No, she law paking it and you don't know
how t dose in my hand. I immediately give it to Tamir like you
stabbed to mere with it. Yeah, yeah, right to the chest.
It's like adrenaline. Yeah. Um, I don't remember what exactly it's supposed
to do. It only gives you a plus one to medicurg roles. There
you go. Yes, So I'll basically say, in this case, it
wakes you up from what was basically, yeah, almost death. Um,
you're in a lot of pain, but you are conscious, Tamir, can
you hear us? Or come on? We gotta go. And I'm like
clearing rubble and trying to get everybody. Yeah, I think I think is
still like holding him up, right, um? Or I guess he laid
him down on the floor, but yeah, he begins to like sort of
get him up over like one arm over the shoulder and sort of like hoist
him up like not quite a fireman's carry, but like a yeah, can
I still get Shoally? Yes? Or is she buried? Oh? That's
actually a good question because I was actually Tamir was carrying her, that's right,
and Tamir took I will say that Showy is no more damage than she
was thanks to Tamir who took the brunt of all of that. He took
the fall that kept the rebar out of Shular. I mean, technically Showley's
dead, so she's still there. She's just a dead body. Yeah.
Well, well I'm gonna pick up Shoally and then yeah, go ahead,
So well I was gonna run and try to pick up Shoal. But yeah,
yeah, I would say all of you together or man are able to
leave. The door is piled high with the yeah, because I think I'll
look back to see if we're being chase. Do you want to do that?
Okay, how did you pick up Sholey? Yeah? I mean okay,
then unless soul dead. Then I think I would look and then make
my decision after depending on what I see. Cool. You turn around,
there is somebody crawling from the rubble. You check your sides. Oops.
Dot spends three darkness points. You don't have your gun anymore? Ball sacks
next to you, though, I mean, oh, you know what,
I'll spend another three so that anybody else would offer up their guns. Do
I have my mercury sword? You do? Okay? How far is uh?
It's kind of like terminator crawling from the rubble. Right, there's like
a hand and you can see her. She's bucking BIPs, she's like how
her face is like bleeding? How close are well you to each other?
Um? Again the end of the hallway you were in it was so weird.
We're relatively close then, right, yeah, she's crawling out. The
rest of you are now probably outside the door that actually leaves out of the
medd. So either either to make Dot spend more, Darctor's points with his
free hand, like he's holding to me with one hand. He reaches Lake,
reaches behind him and pulls his pistol on the smallest back and holds it
to Paul because because he didn't take Paul, that's suel. Yeah, I
just want to think equipment in tal to me and Mike literally all just said,
hey I have a gun, and take my gun. Hey, I
ar's message me. Joey messaged me, and then Mike's now like, hey,
I'll give anybody. Just um, we wanted her dead, Okay,
I think I want to close the choice. Paul, Am I close enough
to run up to her? Um? Yeah? I mean she's like crawling
out of the rebel. You can run up to her if you want to.
I want to run up to her and just like pit her down with
my mercury sword into like whatever rubble or metal that you actually want to kill
her. You don't want to talk to you just want I just yeah,
my intent isn't the kill. If it kills, great, but if not,
what my intent is to pin her down so she can't Okay, yeah
you Um, she's kind of like she's crawling out her her bottom half is
pinned and you take your foot and kick her backwards and she slams against rock
and you jam your sword through the um like left shoulder where the heart is
not um and she um, no other side. I'm sorry left hand goes
through the right shoulder where the heart is not. I got enough backwards,
almost saw the mirror like I don't left. Um, so uh and she
and she's there and she spits up blood. You can see her face now
is destroyed, both from the indention and just the way the helmet has collapsed
in on itself, the way sometimes it happens like a motorcycle accident. Um.
And so her face is just destroyed. Um. And she looks up
at you, her eyes bloodshot, with a little bit of her her lips
you can see. You can see there's a smile out of the corner of
it. As she kind of spits more blood. She looks right at you.
She says nothing. Okay, Yeah, I'm just gonna turn again,
just pin down, turn it on and then twist it and just yell kind
of yells out. I'm gonna be like run go um everybody, you're you
leave. As you hear cautious scream out, she begins to laugh. Oh
that's that's some pret I'm going Okay, Can I do another action? Yeah,
go ahead. She's she's not fighting you at this point. She seems
to be laying here taking the abuse. Can she move. Does it look
like she could just get off. No, her bottom half is pinned.
Do you have her like back against something, but her her legs are trapped.
She was trying to get out when you pinned her. Do I see
her gun? No? Okay? Um, yeah, I mean I'm not
gonna stay there. And if I see my group leaving, I'm gonna just
get up and just be a little really weirded and confused and just slowly just
back away and try to run towards the group. You pull the sword out,
she leave the sword. I'm gonna leave the sword. Oh you're sacrificing
the sword. Yeah, I'm gonna leave. So she's pinned there. Um.
She kind of hangs there, very limply, on the edge of life.
And as you leave, she laughs even harder and spits blood behind you
here a very purposeful spat. She says, it's just another sibling's life on
your hands. I feel like I would stop she dies, I would turn
around and just it's like one of those moments where it's like a scene where
it's just fire everywhere. You see the dead body. It's quiet, and
you just see Seul just standing there. Is that those words echoing and He's
gonna just walk up and pull the sword out her body like limp. And
then I'm just gonna, like very confused and scaredly just run back towards the
group and you run out trying to forget her word words. Julissa is,
of course with the group on our chatsword about Jelisa. Julissa's hanging in there.
Dot can only play so many NBC, y'all, this isn't what did
a really good job getting out? Yeah, uh, doc, can we
can we do something super quick retroactively, just just in case the t dose
that that Tale like gave to me or can I roll for that because I
actually can me Yeah, I mean technically Lamar Lamara could roll for it.
Yeah. I feel like the like the narrative is he's holding it actually tells
you have metacurgy. No, okay, So I feel like with him with
him with with Malik like holding to me, or I feel like like like
whatever, like like Tale sees like he sees Tale moving with it, like
he could grab it like hit some go ahead, yeah, because that could
possibly healing. Uh man occurred to you plus two for t doos gret holy
shit and recover three hit points great hit points between Lamara stopping the bleeding and
the tee doostum that is given to you. You're really beginning beginning to become
conscious again. And the help of your brother, Lamar's um whatever it was,
whatever she took from you, is making you heal very quickly. And
your brother's kind of patting your head, drenching the sweat off, making sure
that this wound doesn't open back up on your shoulder. And you're feeling a
lot better now. I'll tell you your burns don't necessarily go away. Um
well, I don't know. We'll find out. You're feeling a lot better.
To me. You heal three hip points. Yeah, he back up.
That's fine. It like I feel like he gets you with it and
like helps you out of the rest of the building, and then by that
time you're like cool here and enough to like pick up off your own right.
All right, Sorry, I'm not ignoring you. I just I can't
breathe tonight. I got we got we got business to tend too. That's
right, you do that. I'll focus on chat. As soon as soon
as I get outside, I will start checking the I will put Sholey down
in the ship and start checking the ship to see. Um if yeah,
I'm gonna just try to hot wire and drive it. Yeah, sure,
go ahead and roll. Um. If you want a hot wire, that's
a technology. UM, I will give you a plus one. Die to
that, because you're a pilot. Um if you want to actually, Um,
as as as I go out to the ship, I'm like, please,
traveler, just this has we gotta get out here, all right.
Take a plus one for saying a prayer. Perfect, And he said plus
one as well for being a pilot. Okay, he said technology. Yeah,
yeah, boom, you have called upon Wow, these critical successes,
y'all. When we get to the end, these are all going to be
gone gone. By the way, if you want to surprise, check out
how many dice I rolled. Oh I know, I see it's a critical
scene. Yes, I meant for the rest of the place, oh,
the rest of everybody. UM. So you cried out to the traveler somebody,
UM, it's been a while since you prayed. What the trip from
Coriolis down was the last time you had prayed. That's been many days,
um, and more importantly, in like twenty four hours. No, it's
been longer than that. It's been almost two days. It's been almost two
days. The sun has set and risen. Okay, all right, yep,
still it doesn't seem like a long time. But okay, it is
for somebody. It is to me, for somebody that prays regularly. Okay,
fair, fair, it is no I mean, who knows tal could
thank you? Dinner just arrived. I was so confused by yeah, so
I would think that all the prayers have also been what I uh, well,
my pastors call um those are regular prayers. Sometimes you have prayers that
are important, important prayers. This is an important prayer. This is that
This is a first class prayer. This goes straight to the man himself though
the This prayer is a cry, is a cry for proper help, not
a not just a blessing, but like a please, I need you right
now, like this is important. We need to get off of this place.
I need to help these people. And out it cries, and the
traveler responds, it is like you are a bit inspired. I guess you
could say, taw And with the will of a mountain, you do not
stop until this damn thing is hotwired. It only takes you moments and the
whole thing boots up light's click on. It is fueled up enough where at
least you can get back to a back to a little al goal. That's
all I need. Got to get to the defiant. Everybody on the ship.
I feel like I'm straggling, but I'm coming. Tool is lasting.
I would wait at least a moment or two for Soul. It is a
moment or two. If I see him coming out, I'll continue waiting.
All all right, let's go. Once everybody is in, I will essentially
head the cant I use the talent again quicks route. Um, when was
the last Yeah? I think you can't because you can use it once session.
Yeah yeah, and you used it last time, not this time.
So yes, do you get a dark point? But that is our that
is our group of talent. Yeah, let me take the darks point because
y'all know I'm going to use it. Hell yeah, I got I gotta
use it tonight. Yeah, okay, And you want to fly back just
get there. You want to do it without being seen. You want to
lay low, like what is it goal? I want to do it without
attracting any sort of attention. Fly casual, um, you know when as
I'm going out of the swampy area that we are in. I want to
try to lay low as possible. Obviously, definitely not go back the way
we came, Okay, because I promise that the locals that I wouldn't.
Yes, okay, I'm not going back the way we came. I'm gonna
essentially just I'm trying to fly as low and and unnoticeable as possible. Okay,
Well, this is not your ship, but I'm gonna give you the
puff plus one for blessed because with the will of the mountain behind you,
so you get the blessed benefit and any bonuses you get to piloting ships,
which I think might already be applied. And then just roll your piloting roll.
Ye, yes, another crit Okay, all right, what I'm pretty
sure that Tall has only ever crit. Well, the dice don't lie.
There's a lot of green. That is a lot of green. I can't
wait for it to be all red. Oh God, it's gonna be so
red saran. But that being said, the dice cannot lie. And with
the blessing of the mountain behind you, this ship though rickety and a bit
tight quarters because it's just a put jumper. Really, um, it's already
full of these crates they were loading into it. Some of these crates have
dead bodies in them. And now there are seven of you aboard this ship.
Your sister stands. We could have pushed the crates off the crates.
Okay, you guys want to leave the crates, that's cool. We're not
worried about the crates. Um. Oh yeah, and uh, you're gonna
have a bit of a travel back. It's going to take you about an
hour, but you will successfully lay low like nobody is going to catch you
don't have to worry about like a dangerous trip back in that time. Then
we have Shlie's body. You have Shuli's body, um lu Mari. SIT's
kind of off to the side, um in a rather large bit of pain.
She's trying to stitch her shoulder up herself. Yeah. Speaking of what
what is what ship? What kind of ship is this? It is a
is a cargo ship. It is very small, Um it was it was
very clearly being used to move boxes. Okay. It has like one main
cargo bay where yea and then a cockpit. Um. Since since she's very
wounded and I know that like sho Lee's I assumed dead um uh, and
she and like Lamar is like bleeding out of places. I'm again going to
like take her bag off, and I know that in her bag she has
a portable lab. So I'm going to stop beepoop, beepoop, and like
open up the portable lab. Um, so that while we're flying in a
giant cargo ship, we have place to put the place to put those two.
Okay, you pop it op ENIM it's a tad damaged. You just
went through a massive catastrophe and she took all the damage for you. Um.
A couple of the screener cracked and they flicker a little bit. They're
a little broken. But the important stuff that she actually needs, like antibiotics.
UM, sure that there's no infection of the stuff to stitch and heal
the wound, possibly in characterize it, if you need to do those things
are there. Um. She is not going to let you do the doctor
work on her. She's a doctor for Pete's sake, right, Um,
So she's going to do it on herself. But she appreciates help because she
did. She would not have pulled it out. She was just going to
hand stitch it. So roll her MEDICURGI on herself. Uh cool, Um,
can I give her a plus one before assisting her? Yes, you
can. And I think she also gets a benefit for using the kit right
for the med kid yees, so she gets for med kit so let me
see. Yeah, so i'd say that's a plus three to the role that
sorry, yes, plus three and then medic cheek. Come on, super
crit, super crit, y'all finely for a second half, you realize that
what this is, this is the icons punishing me. Yeah, I use
fucking darkness points. Yeah, all right, so darkness, I'm going to
take your weapons. Um, you know, I mean, I'm gonna put
this up to you. Right. So that's six. So she's able to
stitch it herself up and heal her own four. If there are other injured
people, can she use the remaining to create the two sixes to heal other
people? I guess I don't see why not. I don't know. The
mouth is damaged. I'm damaged, but I'm also kind of flying right now,
so I'm fine. How about this? Some of this we had an
idea. Watches Lamar begins to stitch herself up, and she begins kind of
wiping some things away, and as She concentrates on the thing that she is
best at um and as you watch it, she's kind of stitching the wound
begins to heal itself, kind of seal itself shut, and she begins to
emanate this rather beautiful light that seems to kind of just hang off of her
the way that a flash light might a mirror. Could you stop that's making
it hard to see you with the glare. Everybody within the range of this
light, which is all you on. This vestibal will heal for two additional
points if you needed. In her basking healing light, she heals her himself
entirely. Well, I'm good, I'm good, great, I'm only down
one. Though your bodies are healed, your minds were probably still rather troubled
with everything that has gone down and what you've seen. More importantly, the
clothes that you wear. Everything is covered in dirt and soot and debris and
blood of probably somebody else, maybe yourself, you don't know. I think
while literally everybody else is occupied and to Beer is conscious and still sees a
dead body, it's going to do what he set out to do before Kasha
interrupted them. So he's gonna take his the glasses off, so like,
deactivate them, right, put them down somewhere. I don't know why,
I'm agag and they hang around her neck because you want them to want them,
you want one yourself. We were talking about that. I live vicariously
through the glasses life and his glasses life. Yeah, exactly, that's exactly
what I mentioned. Look like. Okay, yes, sure, I mean
they're old, old crazy man glasses, so sure they have a thing.
And he just, you know, puts them down and they dangle there on
his bloody, wet, tight burn fucking piece of cloth that is no longer
an actual suit at this point. Those burns actually, when you say that
they don't hurt, they don't hurt it all. In fact. Okay,
if I would like to make a quick note, I think Suel would be
eyeing the entire ship, but he would be particularly interested because he has not
forgotten about the herd before Gosha came in. Are you just gonna watch from
a farm, Yeah, but I want to be close enough where yeah,
I'm just gonna watch from a farm book. I want to be ready.
Okay, I mean you're Seuel is always ready, I assume, but you
watch Tamir begins to pull it out Lumara. Lumara's eyes jolt open and dart
over to Tamir. She makes eye contact with you. She doesn't say anything
this time. She just looks at you, and she just looks at you.
Would Tamir be able to like understand the look that she's giving m roll
empathy. Yeah, I'm sorry if you had we had another sis success,
I don't. I don't roll that. Um okay, I would say why
right a combo breaker? Um, it's hard to say. I mean she's
I would say maybe even yes, me too. I would also say that
sorry, I didn't want to confuse you this time with my thank you.
So you confused us with silence, So I confused you with silence instead.
Um. So the look she I would mm hmm to me? Or do
you look at her before you take your glasses off? No? Great,
I think he's still too dazed and just nah you think she just simply makes
eye contact with you. It's not a disappointed look. It's not a mad
look. It's not like I'm gonna rat you out about our conversation kind of
a look. It is a contented look um of shared knowing that something's going
to happen. But it's also that look of go ahead if you think you
need to. There's an understanding there and yeah to Merrill kind of like be
on his knees um and sit down cross legged. And I don't know how
it works. If I think he's gonna open the earn, I want to
run over and put my hand over his hand on the earth. So what
are you doing? I don't know what you're doing. Before you do that,
I want to tell you something. Many years ago, I took a
life of someone very dear to me, and I had a gut feeling after
and it was a feeling of not disappointment, but of something that I had
to do. It felt that I had to do it. Years later,
I regretted that decision. Watching you right now, I am getting that same
feeling. Whatever you're about to do, make sure that you can live with
this decision. I don't understand you. I don't understand Lamara, but she's
scared of that. So we heard from the emis set. She has the
answers. If I've learned anything from watching you, your brother and Taw and
even the batshit crazy doctor over there, you create your own answers and I'm
going to lift the hand up and I'm going to just say, every day
I see the faces of my brother, I don't want you to see the
faces of those that you care four care for. I love the word out.
Sorry, Melissa, it's probably only Tale that sees this. She is
flying next to her sister. Of course, when Seul says that, you
watch Ulissa's eyebrow raise and acknowledgement and a stounded state that those words are coming
from his mouth quietly say oh, just loud enough so that only Julissa can
hear me. He's changed even since I met him. Good. I want
to lift my hand and like, as I back away, I'm just gonna
do that awkward thing that Seouel always does. Oh yeah, in case you
couldn't get it, it was it was hector my brother. I killed my
brother, and I leave back. Julissa then shakes her head. Oh he's
changed, has he? Some thing's never changed? How I just like that
that Malik has no idea what's happening. He's just sitting here, very confused.
I wouldn't that wouldn't have been correct if I didn't add that. I'm
sorry, No, it's a perfect Seul moment it was, and Julius's says,
now, that's the Soul. I know. Actually she does not call
him Soul. That's the Polaris. I know he's no longer Polaris. Oh
right, you call him Soul. Excuse me. I found a large spider
I'd need to take care of real quick. Oh. I thought that was
in character. And I was like, wow, this scene just took a
super change like turn of events that was not Space Fighters Okay, And it
cuts back to the room to Tamut, Soul has given you your space.
Lumara is on the opposite end of this cargo base, saying, next to
your brother, she's definitely kind of leaning on him, not that she's injured
or hurt, but affected. How how else? How are we going to
find them? I didn't say, don't do it? I understand why I
don't. I don't. I don't know. I just get a bad feeling
around that urn and she's she's eyeballing up. Mean, she's staring daggers through
it. What are we? What are what? What are we doing to
mirror? Think it through? I think it is worth whatever it is,
if it's gonna bring her back. And she looks at Sholey, who is
now very pale. She's been a dead body now long enough where she's beginning
to change, of course, not an ice. I'm sorry, what's happening?
Um, I don't know. I don't know. He's she looks at
to me, she goes your brother. They don't know what it is or
what it does. I don't actually were they there. We were there when
the dude gave it to you, but I don't know you learned what it
did because of your ability. Yeah, he just he just told us to
only use it in like extreme circumstances. Okay, And Tamara's is gonna look
to a leak again, just apologetic. I'm sorry, leak, but we
both understand, right, I don't know what you're talking about. I have
no idea what that does. We need to bring Shuley back, We need
to listen to what she has to say. The entirety of the Third Horizon
depends on the information. I'm I'm real new to this hole. And he
like kind of like nods at Lamara, and he says, but that's uh,
that's that's kind of how And again he kind of like tips his head
towards Lamara again. Oh, Showley's dead. When you come back, you
come back different. Even Lamara says it might not be the Sholey you bring
back. If it is anything to be assessed from how Lamara has been.
The kid gives us enough time. The kid only says Lamar is the way
she is because she's holding onto something. What is more important to hold onto
than the knowledge of where they are. Malik picks his hand up and in
it is Lamara's hand soul when he fell a little and then he kind of
puts it back down. Stul kind of gives a little grit and smacks to
me in the back a little bit. It's like see relationship advice from Soul.
She kind of relents you hear her sigh and she goes the item that
you have. It has life energy in it, pure life energy. Not
not like what happened to me, Malik. I mean it sounds a lot
like someone's dead in end, like someone's dead and you're bringing them back to
life. Yes, but you didn't use that to bring me back to life.
No, I used to science because it She looks at you like,
you did not use science. You used your hands and your lips. Because
it was definitely CPR. Why are you so at science? Up science?
Okay, Malik two has the power of smooches. What why are you so
adimantumb this one? Why are you so afraid of it? I don't know.
Um, I'm I'm afraid of it because I'm drawn to it. Okay,
Yeah, that's creepy, she can tell. She's still trying to keep
her distance, she says. But Tamir is right. That artifact there,
it's meant to bring someone back to life. I don't know why you're talking
about, but all I know is I thought I was doing the right thing
for I'm thirty close years. Some people who believe in the icons believe that
what fights the darkness is the light in all of us old humans call it
our souls. I I died normally and was brought back from the darkness with
no soul. This item would restore showlies. How do you know, student,
I don't know. I just do. How does this a thank you?
I don't. I don't know soul. I make them every day with
new information in my head that I didn't put there, of these feelings with
a blood lust. I can't answer these questions. So I just know what
it's how do you know it's going the right vessel to be here? I
don't know until I use it. Oh shit, Leek, you told me
not to send that information long ago. I can't help but wonder if that
had come out, and maybe the circumstance would have even happened. We have
an opportunity now to atone for that. We need this information or the entire
he's going. I will make the decision, and I will live by my
choice, and I will take care of the consequence. But right now,
I was saving this for you just in case. I think there's like a
very telling look between the Alison brothers and Will. He just sort of nods
and then he turns to like he like picks like stands Lamara up, and
then he turns to Facer and then kind of looks back and like nods to
Tamir. I think I would put my hand on Tamir's shoulder and like not
I'm not trying to stop him. It's just like more of a you do
what you need to do and I'm here to support you kind of vibe.
He opens it. There's a few buttons on kind of this thing that you
have to press and you hear of the latch kind of likes, and the
lid kind of peels away from it. As it does, there's a almost
kind of dry eyes type smoke that embers from the top of it. It
begins to kind of rattle and it tips over, and as it does,
this kind of effervescent liquid pours out and it begins crawling its way towards shotly
U. Lumara is staring you right in the eyes. You can feel her
body trembling with fear. Lamara has never trembled with fear. Yeah, I
think as soon as he hears the like like the opening noise, like he
has like I think he has his hands on her like like bicep, and
he's gonna he's gonna lean in for a smooch. You put a deep smooch
on Lumarine and she kisses you back, and you watch, at least Tamir
does as this liquid um kind of wraps itself around Sholey's hand and moves up
her body and this this this goo drips itself into her and as it does,
her body jolts up and her eyes open and light pours out, and
in the background you can see the silhouette of your brother and Lamara embracing one
another, and Sholey takes a breath, and as her eyes open, Lumara
opens her eyes, still probably lip blocked with Malik, and she pulls away,
and she's at least don't know where to find me. And you watch
as from her ponytail or her braid all the way back, she begins to
be pulled towards this open urn, this empty urn, and her hair turns
into whispy colors, followed by her head in her body, and before you
know it, in the blink of an eye, Lamara is gone and trapped
inside the urn. Shurely sits up, just in time to miss it.
The urn tips itself upright with the pressure of Lamara, finishing its dive,
and the lid magically claps shut. It no longer glows and embering blue on
the outside, but a deep, deep red. A container that once held
the light of humanity is now filled with the darkness of a gin. The
completed final task of Horse of Nagan is to find a container, something to
hold it. It needed to be big enough, powerful enough to do it,
and there was an empty one around. I think, as this happens,
like I assume everyone has this tense moment of seeing this fucking freaky thing
happened to them. Malik just turns and walks towards the mer and reaches down
and picks it up and then stands back up and then just stands there for
a second, and then there's like a slight nod and he walks towards the
cockpit. Tal missed all of this. Yes, he kind of leaves that
silence. There was definitely some lights and stuff taling some stuff was going on,
but nobody was saying anything. Yeah, like Tale's just like okay,
well things are happening, Malik lea. Malik leaves this silent room and like
walks into the cockpit. I assume because you had said her sisters like there
as well. They're distant. There's at least two chairs, um, and
he just sort of like taps towel the shoulder and he says, can can
your sister take over? So I saw you never wore one for flying.
But like you said, she's probably munching on some kind of something she had
in her back pocket. She's starving. She's been undercover far too long.
Yeah, it's fine, she's she's taking her her belt off now, y'all.
And she's like, feed up on the cockpit. She's like, uh,
well, I'm like I said, I'm not who it used to be.
I can handle a vessel. It sounds like when I tell the truth,
I can. Okay. Yeah, he doesn't look like she's lying to
me. You know your sister, she always she's one for tall tales,
but she's also not the She also has done a ton of things you didn't
know about. Yeah, that's true. Um, And she says, I
got you, I got you, and she kind of stands up and she
she wants to play the captain's role. And she unzips the kind of like
jumpsuit that she's been wearing and rolls it down and ties it around her rice,
like all jumpsuits deserve to be worn, And she's wearing kind of a
sleeveless piece underneath. And as you walk away, she's she sits down and
puts her hands in all the right places. You're maybe even a little impressed
that she knows what she's doing. She checks all the gauges. But maybe
you turkey my pilot role, yes the ship, Yes, will make it
no problem. No, that is not that is not what bothers you.
Maybe it should ah your sister's back rather barren. Now you can see her
shoulders in her arms are covered in these scars. And these are not the
scars of knives or weapons or abuse. It's as if somebody just didn't put
the ink in a tattoo. It's the empty kind of white. All of
these symbols and things drawn upon her back in precarious ways. They cover every
inch of skin that you can see. Now that she's to remove the jumpsuit.
She doesn't budge, she's hands on wheels, focusing. But it's something
you notice as you walk back with no I have a question. Sure,
does it remind me of the tattoos that Sewel has minus the glowy shit.
That's a difficult role, but you can definitely make one. To try to
figure that out, I would say, um, this I could take a
wits roll or a cultural role would give this to you. I don't know
if you have don't have culture, so this is just a wits roll.
I'm not great at wits. Nope, you definitely can't tell anything other than
your sister wasn't born in these and you don't ever remember seeing these, And
maybe you just have a moment where you think back. You're like, when
was the last time I actually like saw her wears something scantily clad or showed
skin or anything like that. You're like, I, I don't know,
but it's been so many years and these are well healed healed, but yes,
it could possibly have been a tattooed without ink that much you have Okay,
Malik does not go back. But when tal like gets out of the
cockpit, like out of the pilot seat, he just kind of like looks
to her and again he has a similar tone to like how he was in
the boat, and he says the precess is a week, and then he
kind of sidesteps or like so much talcould walked by, and he slumps down
into the seat that Jelissa was in. I okay, sure, are you
wanting to speak to Jalissa? Me? No, you just want to separate
yourself from the great Ye now you walk back. I wasn't gonna walk back
then. So here's the thing is that I still don't fully trust Jolissa period,
especially after seeing all those tattoos on her back without it, because it's
weird. Um, yeah, I do not. Actually I didn't really want
to give up my seat to her to begin with. Um, So,
now that I see that I'm not actually going anywhere, I'm like, okay,
well we'll speak. I'll speak to Sully when we get there. Jolisa
Jelisa's rose like I just got this, and she relents. She sees it.
There's like some tension. She's like, I don't need this. She
gets up and walks to the back, leaving Taal and Malik and a newly
filled red glowing urn to cockpit. Now that even awkwar Mike, Oh,
we're sending you a gift suol for bitch. Yeah, what awesome is huko?
Oh? Yes, yes please. As as I sit back in my
seat, I look over, noting that the thing is now glowing red.
I see, So what happened? What's that? Uh? The priestess is
awake? Okay, you said that. What happened? And what's that?
Well? I don't have a redhead attached to me, so and your priestess
is awake. Wait, you should probably go talk to her. I need
to make sure the ship gets back to my ship. Sully's away. We
should have plenty of time to talk. I mean, if they basically run,
not a brother, right, Molik, let me drive the ship,
and I'm sure the two of you sit in a dead ass silence the rest
of the way. But the camera can't help but pan back to the cargo
area where Shorely now sits upright, a person of influence. In fact,
another card has been played today. The Malik was not gifted anything by his
icon except priests Sholey, in exchange for something else that he cares deeply about.
You see, worshiping the faceless icon is dangerous because the faceless is neutral
one thing for another, And what Malik got today was a person of influence,
not a girlfriend. Shirley seems rather out of it. She is malnourished,
rather beaten and bruised. You don't have a medic anymore. I think
I may have some rations in my bag. I'm just gonna like break some
pieces apart, and they like cand it to her. She reaches out and
grabs it and looks at jesusus, thank you. And she looks at you
with these very wise eyes, soul. She looks at you deep and as
you go to pull away, leaving the rations in her hand, she grabs
you with the other one and pulls you in just a little closer and looks
at you again, and she says, oh, de fun, I am
sorry. She kind of pats her hand and she goes to the rations,
which desperately needs. And she begins pulling away and as you're like, what
you like, stand up to turn in walks Jolyusa, I see right back
down. Um no longer in um the martyr commando attire. She now wears
just a basic jumpsuit that's tied around her waist. And um. She's rather
muscular and she's filled out quite a lot since she were teenagers. She looks
good except for the scarring. I say that it's actually rather beautiful patterns and
intricate designs. But it is scarring nonetheless all over her body. Oh it's
noticeable. I actually imagine it looks a little bit like hell Boy, you
know how it's like raised pieces on his skin. But it's not tattoos,
right, it's just scarring. It's just like that. I'm gonna look at
mine, being reminded just this moment that I have it, and am I
able to make a company make a wits roll out poopsicles? What I failed?
Nope? Your arm itches, you scratch a little bit okay, yeah,
yeah, but she looks at the situation. She kind of nods head
up to Sholey, showy nods back. They have a very um personal relationship.
And she walks over and bends down and takes Sholey's hand and uh kind
of bends over and puts it to her forehead in such a way, and
she says, I told you I would get you out. Julie says,
I never doubted you or your sister one minute. Technically we got her out.
She was trying y'all interrupted her plan. No, I don't. I
don't think her plant was going to fail. If it wasn't for us,
It's probably true she would have owed and it would have all gone bad.
But it's okay, it's fine whatever. Um. She actually looks over at
seul Um, makes you know, just some eyes at you, and then
back at shortly and she says, priestess, this is um. What's your
name again? Are you saying or Hilarius? What is your Name's right?
This is seul Um. That's Tamror. They helped rescue you me. It
clicks this He's like, oh, she doesn't know my name. She she's
learning it. But he's just like damn it. I shouldn't have said it.
You've always been Pilaris. Shuli goes, well, I feel that I
owe all of you a great deal. Where's the immissary. I'm just in
the dead. She turns and looks at you, Soul. This is oh.
She seems rather afflected. I'm I must pray, and she kind of
gets up. Jelisa helps her up, and she walks herself kind of off
to a corner, maybe even just behind some boxes, and you see her
kind of squat down on her knees. She pulls her hood up and she
begins praying in kind of a silent meditation. She's an odd woman, showly
leaving the three of you, and Julius's as well. She's going to do
some medical attention. Where's that quirky doctor. We didn't leave her behind,
dude. We begets looking around. There's nobody here. Look over to Tamir,
just to see if he says anything. She's not with us right now?
Um, dare I ask where she is? No? Timir looks to
Soul. I feel that there's something I'm missing. Yeah, she goes to
tell me, Soul. She looks right at you. Tell me, tell
me what happened. Why she's gonna make a manipulation role She could have looks
right at you. Um, and she just kind of does that that look
that she does. Let me see. Yeah, she's gonna roll a manipulation.
Um, but it is Julissa, So that's not really anything. Do
I roll for anything? Yes, you are also going to roll. Believe
it's a manipulation too. Okay, I don't have a manipulation. Then it's
just the wits or empathy. I'm sorry you can you can still, it's
not it's not a right, it's an empathy. You just roll an empathy
because that's all you have. Yeah, I fail. Okay, Um,
y'all took the critz through all of you. Well she failed too. Um.
So she goes come on soul or no you know what, No she
doesn't. She goes, come on Polaris to stop calling me Polaris. Sorry,
I mean Suel. If you prefer what do I call you? I
mean technically you can call me whatever you want. If you're asking what my
birth name is, I suspected Tao has told you. Oh right, uh
Melissa, Melissa right right, Suel right, Um, it's like awkward dating
It's like they don't even actually know who the other person is, but they've
already done this once before. It's that's awkward. I fuck you, this
is gonna play. She's like, yeah, her neither. She's like,
we're just here now. And it's like, I don't think there's unrequited feeling.
There's no feelings anymore. It's just awkward, just two awkward as adults
that have long history, like teenage history. I haven't seen each other in
decades, and they come back together and they know a lot about each other,
but they actually don't know anything about each other. I mean, I
look at America. Is somebody gonna tell me what happened? I'm just gonna
stare at some here. Great, Okay, I'm going to take a rather
awkward silence as a queue that maybe I shouldn't know, and I'm gonna go
pray she's gone. She's gone, and you're Sholey is here? Do the
math? I mean, we didn't have to kill the doctor to bring Showy
back. I do not believe that she is dead. Did we sent her
out of the airlock? It was more of an exchange. She's on temporary
hold. Okay, I still don't entirely understand, but that is something I'm
going to go pray with the priestess. Now, are you okay? Her
brow kind of furs and she looks at you rather awkwardly. You want to
know if I'm okay? I mean, yeah, you just you know,
met your sister. I've spent the last ten years of my life living in
the slums of Coriolis, serving as an undercover agent four the people whose names
I can't even say because I've been brainwashed. And she looks very serious.
She says, I don't even recognize my own face anymore because my face has
been changed so many times. So I've spent the last six months working with
Scholey to get mystics out of Coriolis who were caught, given up brought here.
So I decided to get rid of my old face and just take on
my actual one. You see that she kind of reaches for one of these,
like this spot on her shoulder that seems to possibly still be a little
tender. So you can roll out observation. I don't know if you'll be
able to put it together, but your eyeballs can see it. I was
watching two successful. She does, in fact reach for one of these scars,
a fresher one within the last few months, still kind of pink the
way fresh scars are. And she says, so, if you want to
know if I'm okay, no, because a plan, an operation that I
have been working on for six months, was interrupted when you and my sister
burst through a door, nonetheless with a man, I say, a boy
that I haven't seen in twelve years. Hmm, who left me stranded?
Do you remember that just didn't show? Do you remember that? Yeah?
Yeah? So am I okay? So no, no, Soul, No,
I'm not so. I'm gonna go pray right now to the icons,
okay. And she turns and kind of walks off and goes and takes a
spot by Sholey. And that spot on her shoulder is even more obvious at
this angle because you can kind of see it right here on the small a
fresh scar. I look over it to mirror. That was very aggressive,
wasn't it. You know, sometimes you speak and you say important things,
Soul, and other times not so much. I don't quite follow. I
know, Hey, I know, And I kind of smack them on the
shoulder again. Do you does that look weird to you? And I point
very obliviously to that spot. Demor looks rolling observation. I know, well
the tattoos or the I say, the tattoos are not tattoos. The scoring
is obvious that you can't miss. It's all over her back, all down
her arms. It stops at a risk where it very clearly she can hide
right like it's things you can be worn under clothing. Is it tech of
some sort? Because Tamir has his own biotech implant. That's why he has
tattoos to hide the scarring. Okay, you see it. You see what
he's talking about, this kind of pinkish fresh design on her shoulder, and
you immediately go, well, I have tattoos. I use them to hide
my tech. Roll a roll a science. I would also take a wits,
but um science, both wits. That's what I was like. I
think we're gonna go dipper than just a basic witz check. Shit, I'm
gonna I'm gonna give you point. Okay, I want to know you.
Okay, so the first thing you had going to okay, well, I
use tattoos to cover up my tech. But she doesn't look to have any
bionics. They're not even tattoos. There's no ink. There's nothing covering anything,
um except for the exterior of her body. These these scars UM.
It's again, it's almost as if if anybody's ever seen tattoo removal when they
like they doll and they know the ink, but it's the scarring is still
there. You can't get rid of the scar um that's left behind by the
tattoo. UM. Maybe it's not used to cover them, but to carry
them. Bionics UM aren't always permanent and can be carried in a lot of
different ways, depending on the black market and the person that seeks it.
UM. So do you have UM. Have you ever undergone any type of
procedure or surgery of some sort. I mean during my training, I had
a ton of surgery. So he's talking about corrective surgery? Yeah right,
no, UM, but things too enhance your You're like drugs. I don't
do drugs. No, no, no, soul Uh. Some people undergo
procedures in order to do extraordinary things that humans cannot imagine are incapable of doing.
UM. By the markings of Jelessa, I would assume that she had
at one point undergone such a procedure. UM. You mean like bionics.
Yes, I'm gonna just say, I still probably knows this stuff, like
what it is? Does I say? When yeah, and your lightbulb goes
off. Oh, Tamirs like skirting around the topic. But he's talking about
bionics and it's somebody that has worked with people that work in a black market
industry. You know that getting bionics is something that only gets done on the
black market. It's only something that is given to people that live a lifestyle
that needs them specialty eyes, like towels, little things here there. Even
now, maybe you recognize that Tamir's got some the way he's talking about them
and trying to skirt the topic, you might be able to even infer that
he's at least come in contact with them if he doesn't have him himself.
But Jelissa doesn't have any bionics. There's no technology embedded in her skin.
You don't see anything except for the scarring, which is natural, the natural
way the body heals when you scar it or when you scratch it. Um.
I mean, I haven't no, Chilissa probably has what what makes why?
What? What? Why? I don't know her soul. I only
know the stories of her from what Talas told me, And it is not
anything about it dark chameleon, So I could only make the assumption that it
is probably involved with the line of work that she was in. I mean
she was very good and not wanting to be seen. Well, I mean
there's technology for that. There's technology to shift their face. There's I've seen
catalogs where people could have an extra arm or like catalogs, do you have
any altar altars changes? Jamir is usually like, obviously you don't. It's
pretty taboo to get like bionics. Yeah. Um, but like he's actively
used his in front of Suel, Like he literally has just touched the dot
on his face a couple of times. Never, Okay, cool cool cool,
Yes, Sue huh. I mean yeah, the only changes I've had
to my body was that stupid tattoo. And other than that, I'm pretty
you hear would you say that? Jealissa lets out of snort. Yeah,
puberty, she says under a breath. She goes back to praying. She's
listening to your conversation. I like, look over, I'm like, praying
supposed to be silent, So your your tattoo? Could I see it?
Sure? And I roll? I like pull down my I guess I take
off the tunic or the jacket, and then I roll up the sleeve and
then I will take a lot look for the first time in six episodes.
Okay, Julissa, when you say tattoo, puts her hands down, turns
her head and looks. Soul pulls his sleeve down to kind of show it
to you. It's been here now a few weeks. It's still tender,
maybe a little scatty, but it glows an embering blue. Julissa sees it
from afar and immediately stands. She says, where did you get that?
Oh? Some asshole, big guy, terrible club. What? Yes,
it's I will get to melt. What have you done? I got a
tattoo? M Do you do you know what that tattoo is? I look
at it? Is it? It's the sign of the judge. Right,
it is the sign of the judge on your shoulder. I think that's that's
the judge, not the icon. Idiot? Do you know what the tattoo
is of the judge? She stands up, and the both of you are
probably rather surprised as she reaches behind her and lifts her shirt up and over
her head and turns around to show you her back from top to bottom.
Barron um PRETI Sta Sholey is in full on meditative state. She is not
butched. And she shows you the coursing of her back, which is just
all of these symbols. She said, every one of these used to look
like that, and she puts her shirt back on and tucks it back in.
We why don't you have them anymore? Because I used it, I
can you can use tattoos. How long have you known what your father has
done? How long have we been on that twenty four hours? If you
have known that your dad is a traitor of people for twenty four hours?
But even then, even then, he only just found out when you're told
him like three hours ago. So three hours okay, So I'm gonna be
like, um, I'd say roughly three four hours. She kind of hangs
her head like wow. She says, when you left me just never showed
back up. I came knocking. Your father told me to piss off,
that I would only cause problems unless I wanted to be useful, of course,
And he drugged me down through the cellar and talked to me about purpose
and opportunity. And he set me down at a chair with a rather large
man and told me that for quite a few cred I simply needed to make
a delivery, but I needed to look like somebody else. And I received
my first bionic tattoo, just like the one in your arm. About twelve
years ago. I stopped working for your dad when I realized what he was
actually doing. It didn't take me long, but I had built up my
own connections. I decided to use the skills I learned and the connections I've
made, such as our big burly tattooing friend, to do what I had
to to fix things in the horizon to keep my family safe. I done
some stupid and horrible shit, and getting that first test too was the biggest
mistake of them all. So, so why do you have one? I
look at the mirror and I'm like it because if An he kind of still
kind of remembers the rush of having to get out of there because of the
interruption of his crew, and he just goes like, it wasn't really a
choice. I see, so you were forced. It was forced upon you.
He kind of looks at jealousa with like a very it's not a sad
eye, but it's a very very like fuck you. Kind of eyes like,
don't fucking judge me, and he kind of she looks back at you
actually with another set of eyes that says, I'm not judging you. I've
been there. Yeah, Soul's too stupid to realize that. But he's gonna
just be like a lot of what I had to do was not by choice.
So where's the remote? I'm sorry? What there's an activator for every
tattoo? You didn't get yours? I mean, I mean, to be
fair, I just thought it was a tattoo. So no, the guy.
The guy said that when the time is right, it would do something.
Or he didn't give you the activator. I know somebody else has your
activator. What does that mean? You keep talking and I don't understand.
What does this tattoo do? So see this works when I am in control
of my face changing, right when I hit the button and say when I
change. But so you you're ticking time bomb. You could no, no,
not an actual no, no, not an actual explosive. I mean,
somebody could change your face at any time they wanted, into anyone they
wanted. Why would they want that? I don't know. You got the
tattoo, remember, well it hasn't activated yet, and I guess I'll have
to go back and have a conversation when we get back to Coriolis to Lessah,
it didn't activate, but it it's reacted to the touch of a mystic.
Sure, a touch of a mystic can do a lot of things like
set it off, u alterate, change it, read it. They just
bionic code. Of course, it smacked me in your arm. Hey,
you're one of those. You're mistake. She looks right at you. Wait,
I'm sorry, that right, I just want to make sure I don't
I didn't. Yeah, okay, good, okay, at least fifty times.
Yeah, sorry, sorry, I just I have a memory of a
goldfish. All right, it's soul. It's perfect. I'm kidding. Yeah,
it's can you and you work with machines, so maybe you know too.
You want me to miss with no new you know? Now? You
radioactive bionics in your arm? Radioactive? What? Well, they don't glow
like that for no reason. You have no idea what you went onto the
table. She looks at me and she says, good luck, she got
a patch you on the shoulder. Wait, in fact, is it dangerous
like if hey, well, yes, of course, it's laced with a
small bit of uranium, which after a period of time can become very poisonous
to the body. You're not supposed to keep them. You're supposed to get
them, activate them. The body filters through it, your face changes for
a period of time, and then you go back and all you're left with
is a scar. How are hundreds of them? How how long it is?
Too long? I don't know. I've never kept more than one a
couple a couple of days. Shit, damir? Can you get maybe?
H h I don't know what it's going to do? It could be.
I mean, let let me see if I can get a sense of it.
How about how about that before trying to activate or to activate or rewrite
something, it's more like code. Moliku is much better with code than I
am. Okay, sure whatever. Malik's silently hugging a jug, so I
don't know how much use he will be. Okay, that's right, Okay,
you know what? How about this? We're on a very confound area.
This hasn't done anything yet. Maybe if we just don't mess with it,
it won't activate. You know, you can't go forever without it being
activated? Right? Yeah? I get that, but I will figure it
out when we're not in a tin can. That might kill us. All
is it onlying? Just going to change his appearance? I mean that's not
so terrible. Listen, how about this just both of you just do you
didn't see it? Okay, let's not worry your brother or tow about this.
No, I'm not doing that again. If we know information, we
need to tell everybody a bit. Let me let me learn, let me
just try to understand, and then we could go let everybody know and let
them make a decision. Okay, I don't know if this is going to
hurt. And he touches touches the arm, probably not really caring if it
hurts. Okay, sorry, I'm trying to read chat. I gotta question
that. But people are freaking out. Um all right, what I'm sorry,
rewind and tell me one more time to me or what would you actually
like to do my arm? Yeah, I'm touching, I'm talking that and
you're going to roll like your artifice or stuff on it like a check.
Well if that's what activit. It reacted last time, Oh it it did
so yeah, So he's going to try to understand it like he's understood the
glasses to urn all sorts of different things. Okay, yeah, um roll
mistability, Okay, let me success. You do, in fact touch him,
and as you do, you can see the kind of blue embering that
was stagnant begins to undulate and like almost crawl through the skin the way a
snake might under bed sheets, and it kind of rolls around this uh this
symbol of his icon. Uh. It it moves, but it doesn't like
do much else, and he just reacting to your touch. But out of
one you don't get a whole lot of a reading from it. You may
even close your eyes and you try to feel, but what you're actually feeling
is the technology itself. It flowing through his in. It's sitting there,
it waiting, it's in a lot of unrest. It's a it's a mess.
It is not supposed to be here this long. It's breaking and it's
it's just kind of like it's the way like it's sparking, right, which
is normal, but it's kind of overreacting. It's been like this too long.
Oh anyway, I mean, I'm sure you'll be okay. A better
medical treatments for the radiation exposure, um, jealous. You said that you
only had just for a couple of days. Correct, Yes, if it
goes on activated, could it just activate on its own I guess so.
It might trigger itself accidentally, though, the damage done to the bionics.
The microbionics could be extreme if it sets itself off, meaning it could backfire
or not work entirely, or leave Swool with a you know, completely dead
face. I'm sorry what I mean. Worst case in Nario, it could
permanently change his face or not work at all, or I mean, technically,
with that amount of uranium sparking, it could end up in a rather
large or small nuclear explosion. Okay, I've heard enough. I'm gonna get
up and like like pull my shirt back up, and I'm just like like
cool, I'm gonna I'm gonna go tell the captain that we have a bit
of an urgent issue and we should probably leave me. I'm gonna walking towards
the cockpit. As you walk towards the cockpit, you can see out the
front there is this dead, dense silence there. You can cut it with
a knife. Even soul, the awkward of the most awkward knows it's currently
awkward in the cockpit. But out the front you can see Little Algol.
You're coming out of the swamp and over the tree line, and you can
see the docking with all the vessels and the ships in there in Little Algol.
You're very close. Now you'll land in about five or ten minutes.
He thinks from and that does he want to get involved? How many bars?
So I've left my one? There was there was two total? Yeah,
so and I've used one. Okay, great, I mean, Seul,
you walk into nothing. It's just Malik sitting there quietly, and tal
sitting there quietly. I'm on manual driving right now because I need I need
to do something. Yeah, pilting task tw what Soul. I don't mean
to alarm you, however, your sister has informed me that I may be
carrying a How do I put this potential nuclear reactor on my arm? Cool?
Just sitting next to Tamir and we'll put you next to the other bomb.
Okay, you guys, like, just go to the cargo pit with
everybody else. I kind of, for the first time since I sat back
down at the controls, I take my eyes off for a brief moment and
just literally just throw a glare back there. I'm like, what exactly am
I supposed to do that I'm not already doing. I look at a leak
for a minute, and then she's talking about you, and I just thought
you would. I'm just gonna thank you for the information. I'm really glad
we're communicating now. It just turns around and walk back, just put all
the bombs together, broken this to me, and we're like, well,
she knows, I'm gonna sit down, and Julius's back praying priests Shorely has
not budged, And how you're able to bring the ship in for a rather
smooth landing with that critical three question, are you wanting to park it actually
next to the Defiant or you wanting to park it at the docks like where
you say took the boat from and then walk down back through. So I
feel like I would know if it would be essentially okay for her to park
as close to the Defiant as possible, because she knows walking around as they
are is probably going to attract a little bit attention. Hal would know that
you're not going to give a crap about this ship, and if you just
maybe happen to give it to the guy at the dockyards. It could be
a nice trade for them to just wipe your existence from record at the docking
stations. Here on perfect right, yeah yeah, and you pull up right
next to the man's kind of waiting. You're like, don't park here,
don't park here. Um and uh sal do you want to just you just
gotta hand him the keys, be like keep it. Yeah. Once everybody's
out, and we're like, essentially, hey, buddy, you want a
ship. What Yeah, you get this ship and that ship was never here,
my ship, this ship doesn't exist. Yeah deal, And um,
he I'm sure you do. The cool cab this thing we like toss the
keys, he like grabs them at his thing now or something, you know.
And as everybody begins to evacuate, leave this little puddle jumper to go
back home. There it is the Defiant. You've only been off of it
about not quite forty eight hours, not quite, you're getting real close to
the free eight hour mark, but almost. But as long as he's ever
been away from the ship. Oh my god. And there it is,
in all its clunky beauty, Defiant written across the side. I imagine if
tal had keys, she'd beat beat, just to hear it because the sound
of your own car is glorious after a very hard a few days. And
to mirror as you go to exit this ship which was carrying a lot of
stuff. Look, nobody wanted to look through the gear love that totally fine.
This man will also hawk that stuff and make a killing. So it's
fine. But there's one crate near the exit that makes your heart pound.
It stops catches you the way that it does. Maybe it's because you activated
your mistake ability and it's reaching out. But there's an artifact of board this
vessel. It's like the Jumanji board hidden somewhere. You can hear them.
That's exactly what it. Yeah, that's exactly what it feels like. Board
is calling you. Like the vibrations here will like a zombie answer the call
touch somewhere out in the darkness. Fate takes its toll and uh and long
lost artifact is found. You can feel it in this one crate. You
pry it open, you dig through straw and you get to the bottom and
there it is. And I am going to have you roll on the chart
of the artifact. Chart. Um, I have to pro get the same
thing you already have, I can put these down. It's so it's too
four. These woods are for close up and these ones and you have your
reading. You were both at the same time. Like three D goggles,
you get to see in the fourth dimension. What is it? A one
D sixty six. I think that's right? Yeah, um, let me
double check by table. I believe so, yes, Um, one D
sixty six fifty nine. I hope it's another earth. It goes from fifty
six to sixty one. That's not how math works or numbers. It's because
it's not at D sixty six two D six is joey so oh right,
yeah right, duh. That's how all these tables work. You can't have
a thank you fifty five in it. You open up. There is a
globe, um, and I'm going to tell you what it is when I
find it. This is very cool. This is very cool. Okay,
it is a globe. It sits at the bottom. It's big enough that
you could hold it with two hands, and it has a rough, somewhat
kind of gummy surface to it. In fact, this is ancient item.
Based on the construction of this item, you can rightfully assume that it was
left here by the portal builders centuries ago, the people that made the Third
Horizon long before humans were here. You don't know currently what it does.
Yes, actually, I'll send you some information on it that you might find.
But um, it's funny that you rolled this because this item is native
to the swamps of Kua. That is completely serendipitous. I did not plan
that ship. Wait, you don't have to pull a card, silly,
it's the last game. Wait, you're definitely muted. I did, but
you should look at Oh my god, are you gonna give it to me?
What is it? It's a it's a doozy. Hang on to it
if you want to play it at the end, we can't. I got
you to like that if you want to play Philoso Um yeah, um,
And do you kind of pull this little stick. It's sticky the way like
a giant fish egg is. The globe itself is on the inside, but
it has this mucous kind of membrane on the exterior. You're gonna do some
research maybe and figure out what it is, but it is definitely Yeah.
I feel like Timor would even at least recognize how ancient, because he was
starting to be a portal maaster he knows, at least to that tech.
It's almost actually you know what you are. You don't eat the portals.
You would know that these globes are used to light the portals in space.
They're not. You pour sugar water over them and it turns it into a
light source. It's called a sugar globe. And they're found deep, deep,
natively into swamps of Kua. You have to dive to the bottom of
the swamps, which now is almost an impossibility with how corrupt it is,
which means that these don't exist anymore, and the portal builders use them around
the portals themselves to mark them. These aren't harvested anymore and haven't been to
your knowledge. It's this temple sunk one hundred years ago, so they may
have found one on site or managed to acquire one from the swamps, who
knows, but they were moving it. It's an all natural, completely radiation
free, completely energy free light source, water and sugar has alitics and Tamer
joins his party off this little dinghy and walks up all of you one by
one into your home. Shurely looks around. She notes her prayer still carved
on the outside of your ship. Her hand kind of runs down it.
Yeah. Actually tal has taken to touching it every time she gets on the
ship as well. Shurely kind of nods to you, recognizing that you haven't
you know that you left it, which is as as she does that,
I say, I told you I wanted a new path. She laughs,
and she says, I knew you'd say that. And she looks over to
your sister and she says she she grabs you by the hand, not the
arm. It's not a masculine pull. It's a very gentle reach as she
kind of just finger fingertips touch, and she says, Tao, you are
clouded your mind. You look tired, more tired than when I saw you
before. You should know that your sister, she is a good woman.
She felt that your father was being trapped, set up in some way.
She took it upon herself to go undercover to prove the truth. She just
could not get the She kind of looks around to make sure that your sister
is not listening, because your sister would not want you to know this.
She could not get the proof that she needed against Kausha. And when they
took me a few weeks back, I was helping other mistakes get off correole.
Listen. Well, she decided that it was the prime time to put
an end to all of this, especially when I told her that you were
a mistake. How did she take that news? Much better than you probably
expect. She did not seem shocked, but rather out She said, you
were the gifted one of the two of you. She actually snorts at that
one. She kind of smiles, and she says, unfortunately, she knew
that your mother may not be as understanding. Yeah, your father was in
grave danger, and she could not, for fear of your father being wrapped
up and cautious mistakes, she could not simply out him. And so she
followed me here, well there, and she gestures back towards the swamp,
and we made up a plan to fake my death after the emissary told me
the truth. Well, thank you. I did not stop you for you
to thank me, I should be thinking, you tell Tuma, you and
your whole crew. H If it wasn't for Tamir and Lamara, everything we
did would have been at least so h Lumara, she's a gin surely actually
laughs now something you've probably never seen her stoic face kind of breaks, and
she says, as Jean, I've heard that they are not creatures that one
makes friends with, though I would not know. I prayed to the icons
quite frequently to never have to encounter such things. Well, she was an
entirely assin until whatever happened while I was driving. Yeah, I'm sorry to
hear that your friend is She kind of looks for the right words, is
affected. She kind of nods like maybe that's the like neutral word, because
she doesn't know if she's dead or alive or what really happened to her.
She's just trying to beathetic. Yeah, she says, I m was praying.
I know that you are worried about this Blue Mara. But your friend
sue, the darkness is coming for him. The judge cries his name,
So what is your last name again? Uh? Trolle Mernian is trl look
right Athemagor and she says. The judge cries out for punishment. Tell Marian,
Tell Marian. It cries the father and son must be punished. I
said a prayer for him. Whatever it is, it's very close. Now,
come show me your home. Yeah, and she let you lead her
into the ship with everyone else. Previously, when tal was going to the
ship. It was very she had a very like relieved expression. And now
as she walks onto the ship to join everybody else, she she's in front
of Lamar, in front of Sholey, and she's got this almost look of
dread on her face, which she tries to cover but probably not. Well,
she's a little just a little done. Um well, so here's here's
the ship. We should really get going because I don't know. I mean,
that guy said that he would remove our records if I gave him that
ship, but I don't know how far I can trust him. He was
willing to part her a ship for records. So well, where do we
go? Now? You know what? I need to get some fucking sleep.
Let's go out in the middle of fucking nowhere so I can sleep.
Um, sorry, yep, you you you pop on the ship. Everybody's
there, Does anybody want to do anything? Just everybody go to their rooms.
I'm I'm going to drive the ship out into the middle of space and
sit there so I can get a whole night sleep. Yeah, I think
you could all use them. Sleep GM I have eight out of character questions.
When I had my vision or my my little one on one with the
emissary dudes. Did they specifically I noticed they said Tom that she was to
keep. Did they say anything about Coriolis? I can't remember. They did
not say anything directly about Coriolis. Note that the information that you got from
the emissary um is that they have four siblings. They are hiding. The
only person who knows is where they are is Shorely m That was information that
was given to her, and that the song of the remaining emissaries is the
only thing that can fight off the oncoming first horizon that is trying to break
through. Gotcha, you were also told that you were gifted um uh,
I'm sorry. Who's your icon? It is the judge. You were gifted
something by the judge to get there, but you would also be punished by
the judge. It's very soon, that is what you do. I think.
So, I mean, I'm going to be in the common area just
unpacking stuff and just kind of like getting ready for ready to leave. I
go straight to the cockpit to start taking off. As I'm going through,
I'm like everybody, we're leaving. It is a tense night. As the
Defiant leaves planets side breaks atmosphere and heads back to space. What was lush
jungle of Kua and now is distant and hidden behind an atmosphere of clouds.
And you are back in space, stars and darkness. Nothing you can see.
Coreol is floating off in the distance. I mean it orbits his planet,
so it's never very far, but Tal goes far enough out where Coreol
is, this massive space station, the the pride of the third Horizon.
It's just a blip, a point, a dot in space. And you
were all met with horrowing silence. Maybe you sleep, maybe you don't,
but you take about twelve hours to just be no mission, nobody to safe.
How you wake up the next morning and actolutely oh I'm sorry. Uh.
Well, after White going out and setting up um, huh, hold
on, I'm double checking something secret chats no not you don okay? Um?
So uh. Couple hours after um, A couple hours after everybody kind
of settles down, and Tad goes into her room. She actually um.
She comes out of her room dressed in her normal sleep clothes. These ones
are blue instead of white because the white ones are covered in other people's blood.
Um. And she knocks on to Mirror's door. He opens it he's
a wig. Hey. Um and towel's already kind of flushed, and she
she looks really be nervous. Um, she says, you know, um,
I'm so um. Last last time, Um, I went to bed
in my own bed, I woke up and there was a strange person in
my room. I mean it's it was a gem but uh. And and
then the next thing I knew I was there were other people in my house,
and um, I don't want to be alone. Can can I stay
with you? Of course? And me kind of like reach out to her
and like bring her in and just kind of told her for a moment,
Okay, I think we can fade the black on that one. I say,
there's a there's an embrace. Just I was talking and muted, and
I was like, oh, this is such a good there's a there's an
embrace on the other side of the doorway as we simply see the door close
behind them. Can oh, man, can we do can we do an
opposing shot? Because I the whole way is Malik's room. Yeah, so
I think nobody comes knocking it. Wow, Wow, Jesus, Oh,
now what I was gonna Now, what I was gonna say about that stroll
over it and said imposing. Nobody comes in. I'm knocking don I'm gonna
take this scene over because you're a monster. You know why you have me
here? So I like that. We fade to black on that scene,
like and shut up, Paul. We fade to black on that scene,
and like open up on the scene across the hallway where on the desk,
much like at the ruins, Malik has his ischimag out and opened again with
the two stones, the black stone and the white stone, and in between
the two of them is the urn. And then it fades to black again.
Fucking dot jerk. I want I want to I want to fade the
black moment, go for it. Jalissa is on board, and I don't.
I feel like their passion is long since gone. Now they're just like
I think they're too. Fades in on Paul and it's just there with the
rifle, fades back out. Paul's where are you at? You in your
bedroom? Well, here's the thing. Does Jalissa have a place to sleep?
I mean there are plenty of extra bunks here. Um Sholey will choose
the chapel m because she trust me, she has been sleeping plenty long enough,
I would say that there are lots of places she can find somewhere to
sleep. This is also her home. This was her home. Okay,
okay, right, if she say Jelissa probably gets in her old bed,
but she has a bunk in two's room, right. Well, actually,
twe moved into her parents room, so she has a double bed. Because
captain, why why why have a ship and take a small bed when you
can have the big bed on ship. Yeah. Actually, you hear a
knock at your door, so it is in fact, door slides open and
she says, damn it, what have you done in my bedroom? Fuck?
The door slide shut. She goes to find somewhere else to sleep.
I opened the door and like, hey, hey, listen, you could
you can sleep in your own room. You are, it's clearly And she
kind of comes back and looks around. Uh, it seems like you've really
taken the space wrap like whatever gun ornaments are on the bed and they just
shove it off like it's perfect. But like, I mean, just you
know, it's your home. I'm just borrowing it, and I'm gonna kind
of like push past her and just like walk and as he walks, he
doesn't look back or anything. He just kind of walks and he reaches into
his pocket and he grips the two broken pieces of the white butterfly talisman that
he had from the very beginning, and he just kind of he I don't
know how to subtextually say this, but he has a very scared gut feeling,
and he just kind of wanders the hall for a little bit, and
then eventually he just doesn't really sleep. He just keeps kind of walking around
soul paces like a cat in the night. Open down the ship while everybody
tries to find a peaceful night's sleep and come where they can. There is
no rising of the sun. Really, um uh yeah, there's no space
rooster. Sorry, they can't in space. They go do it. That
was still amazing. We leave when twel's damn ready to leave, Sally.
Sally has been programmed to have an automated rooster eight hours after eight hours after
we all bent down. It just wakes up the whole crew. But the
natural order of things, yeah, the natural order of things. Um,
if a chicken or if a rooster crows in space and nobody hears it,
is it still space? Still morning? No? I can't hear anything in
space. No, I'm just can't. Oh is it still morning? We
don't know. So uh. People make their way out. Does anybody have
anything they really want to do? Um? It is awkward may not be
the right word, but it is tense. There's still this foreboding. You
didn't really save the emissary, but you did, say shurely. A lot
of people died in the process. You lost one of your own crew,
and you all head back to Correolis an hour two hours you're there. Many
will pilot, No big deal. Do you doc, do you dock get
your patron's dock, or do you doc in the main docks of Coreolis.
I'm gonna dock in the patron's dock because we essentially want to get the artifacts
and information to the patron and then figure out a plan. Great, we
probably see you dock. No problem is he has um like three places,
one of the taken by his personal vessel, which is nothing in compared to
the Defiant again a puddle jumper, but it is waiting for you, and
you dok and in some form of deja vu, you all walk out down
this path that you know writ into Coriolis and the door swings open, and
the sound of voices and people and feet and commerce and day to day to
activity is probably overwhelming. You have been away from this for a few days.
Maybe you missed it. Maybe you missed it, Juliusa says. She
says, man, you have some friends in high places. These are the
upper docs. Yeah, I know, I'm parked here too, So you're
like, yeah, I know you park here. You all sits. There's
like, yeah, I know, I know. She's kind. She says,
well, I'm gonna go find mom and Dad probably worried about both of
us. Um, actually, well, I talked to Dad not too long
ago, well before we left Corriel is the first time he said that you
were missing, and that essentially he wanted to just pretend that we were both
dead because Mom can't take mystics in the family. Julissa smiles. The literal
only person that understands where you're coming from her sister. She leans in and
she kisses you on the cheek, and she says that may be true.
They may not be able to handle it. And I love you anyways,
te for family, and she says, I don't care what kind of powers
you have. Says, you could she leaves, and she goes, you
could poop flowers and I would still love you. I as she leans,
and she says that I kind of lean back, and I said, I
can't poop flowers, but I can look through your eyes. She goes,
I knew it was as she like, she kind of puts it all together,
and she kind of smacks you on the arm and she turns around and
she gives you all kind of a almost like a insulting salute, not to
insult all of you, but to insult soldiers basically, and she's like,
until next time, everyone, And she looks at all of you and she
says, but really take care of yourselves. And I swear if anything happens
to my sister, I'm holding you all accountable. And she says, ask
Suel, I never lost a wrestling match. She smiles and looks at Suel.
Suel knows that's true. She did keep telling yourself that by Polaris,
I mean, Suel, I keep wrestling. And how your sister's meme.
She walks away, I don't know what you're talking about. She seems perfectly
happy to me as all of you step into Corriols proper off the docks and
into the space station. You're very quickly met by a bumbling little man.
You're back. I saw you, doc. What have you found? Your
patron stands in front of you. He has brand new, elegant robes,
definitely not what he was wearing last time, the latest fashions and whatnot.
And his fingers, these little grubby fingers. Um, want to know what
you found for him? Well, h we're in a private place or we're
in public place. Oh no, you are in public Okay, well,
yes, let's go. We can pay privacy. And he says, come,
come, come. Uh. The says, the judge is going to
want to speak to you anyways. Yep uh. And he lead you up
to his estate or to his place. Um, artifacts on display, the
usual um. And he actually justus use this time into a room you've not
been into, which is more of a gathering room. Pillows sit on the
floor, very beautiful ones, one for each person, a low table that
you can all sit at, and already kind of sitting seating. Already sitting
there is the judge. He is very poised and sits rather upright and looks
at all of you very directly. As you enter the room. He gestures
for you to have a seat. I'll sit. U. Is it the
same place we were before with our patron? It is his place? Yes,
it is his place. Yes, yes, yes, which is the
Yeah, you're in a sitting room area, like he has off to the
side, Malik is doing that nonchalant lean against the wall and he has his
tablet out. I mean he's doing stuff on it. In particular you actually
want to do nothing mechanical, but you just see him like he's probably had
like you know when when like a kids playing a game boy as they're walking,
like he's probably been doing that the whole way, and then he just
kind of gets in playing Minecraft. He gets in it and like assesses the
situation and just like parks in a place where you can see the whole room
and then just continue to like do stuff and look over the top of the
tablet as he's doing stuff. Okay, UM, let me, I need
to pull up a document. I don't want to fudge this. I need
to make sure I get this right. This is the judge says. I
hope that you are back with good news. We're back with a lot of
news. Have you found the calls of these misticides. You know, would
you rather have have raw reports because there's a lot in there. Nassar your
patron um, he says, all good news, I hope mhm uh no
m the emissaries dead. That's something that we found out for sure. Oh,
just as I see the emmissary did not make it unfortunately. Now see,
then we should keep that between us. Yeah, I will handle the
sharing of such information with the right parties. The last thing that we need
is another riot aboard correolist when they find out that the emmissary is in fact
dead. Now, more to the point, I'd like to know who calls
such activities, and then I will share with you a bit of information that
we have. Mayor Yeah, the one who liked that it more thoroughly.
I couldn't make heads their tails of half. What's your opinion on the order
of the Pariah opinion, he just says over his tablet. Well, home,
judges don't base the world off of opinions, only law. I'm about
asking what the law Karia has served many a purpose over the years. We
have been afraid for a while that they are seeking more power over the consortium,
enough power that it could cause problems, and we believe that we have
enough evidence to prove that this is true, that they might in fact to
be behind some of the activities that you were researching, but we were hoping
you could bring us more solidified information names. In addition, we do have
one man that we are going to try and arrest and try we believe him
to be directly involved with these mysticides the moving of people. In fact slaps
a file down on the table. This man who politic comes up, Hey,
so it's your dad. This man has over the last few months made
some sloppy mistakes, including a transport log from oh crap, what was that
location called? So long? No, I think this is a character nor
time Paul did. Would in the transit would you have told hold everyone about
what your tattoo can actually do? I think so. I think it wouldn't
even be in transit. I think he'd be like, as soon as we're
in the ship, yeah, I would like just let first talent know as
a sear ship. Then I figure when I tell a tale, I want
to be around Yes, yes, go ahead. I feel like Malik sees
the PAM like the folder like slapped down the table and then everything clicks all
at once, and he walks forward and hands to mirror the tablet he was
working on and goes to pick up the folder. But when he does,
he leans over to Seoul and says, go wait on the ship as quietly
as possible, and then picks up the folder and like holds it near tale
and begives like look through. He kind of the judge looks at you,
and he presses his button and Soul's dad face pops up. Soul, if
you choose to lead, they will not stop you. I feel like he
would. He's a out to but then he sees his dad's face. Is
this man he's gonna stop? Has spent many years moving and trading people across
Coriolis. We've never been able to prove it entirely. And we also believe
that he is involved in some kind of drug rink activity, which has in
fact been proven based on a transport that we believe happened off of the Mura
station a few weeks back, about the time that you were there. In
fact, we believe that he is directly involved, and we have to provide
the people here on Coriolis with some kind of closure justice some may call it,
so we will rest him very soon. In fact, malikin looks over
at at Tamir and on the unlocked open face of the tablet is an email
that has written to the woman at the bulletin. On the subject line is
this is a story and it's the entire collection of all of the files from
Hamorra, all of the files from Kua and everything that Malik has not told
people on the ship. And then he looks at Seuel again and says Polaris
ship and he kind of like just leaves the look there for like a minute,
slightly insulted but very uncomfortable and confused soul kind of like okay, and
like just kind of slowly, not like rushingly, just like slowly, like
confused, walks towards the door and we'll make his way out. Seul leaves.
The judge watches but again does not question, and he says, do
you have any other names that we can add to our list? Judgment Day
calls he smiles, there's a mirror was one. Tamir was plu doing the
information. So I was just kind of looking at him like, Kasha is
the only one that you might be able to prove because you had actual footage
of them, right, and you can prove that they were probably there their
involvement, but they are dead so they can't be tried. Yeah, right,
and I don't think Ta Mirror is going to share anything more than Kasha.
Yes, well that is in unfortunate news one of our own. He
kind of clicks something into the tablet on the table, maybe sending a message
more than likely. He says, well, if that is all your payment
click click clicks has been processed, you've all been compensated for your dangerous journey.
I'm sure that your patron here would be more than happy to take some
junk off of your hands. But I'm a scoe. I have some business
to attend to. You'll be interested to explore the ruins of Kua. There's
a site there. Oh, that's where we found everything. They cleaned it
out as nothing left. He kind of flipped through. Do you give him
all this information? I just tell him this. It's just rooms full of
corpses and an abandoned zigarat. There was a spare ship there. Yes,
you talk of the old palace. They were hiding themselves inside of the swamps.
Yeah, it's very difficult to get too, so wonderful. He looks
at his You think you can see him think for a minute. He makes
a few more things in It looked like whatever they were doing, they were
cleaning up. Well, then let's assure that they complete their task, shall
we? And he hits an inter button. Another message goes out, I'm
sorry they complete their task of cleaning it out. Cleaning it out, dear
boy, some things just aren't meant to stay. Sometimes the truth is too
much for the general populace to handle, and simply getting rid of such a
place would solve our problem and assure that they cannot come back. There is
a I assume a decently large populace of indigenous people still living inside the lake
the swamps, So well, let's if they are smart enough to steel clear
of that swamp. M Now, I must be going. Time is running
short, and boy, do we have a schedule today. He stands again,
tall, his robes pick up, and he said, He nods to
Sarah, and he says, until next time. I'm rather proud of all
of you, consider the fact that we didn't even expect you to return from
him Mura, until next time, and he walks out, your patron sits
there and very could you know I have sponsored many your crew and most of
them just never return. I'm a problem at all of me. Really,
I'm really glad worth the exception me too. Did you find an eagame?
Yes we did? Oh what Tamy is going to hand Molik back the pad
and just like nod and he'll pull out like and I was probably get like
a waxsack or something. Um, pull out the gloat. Oh. He
snatches it from you and holds it up. He says, I never thought
i'd see when this closed. Do you know what this is? Yes,
It's incredible, isn't it? He says, this this is a sugar cloak.
Um. Oh, it's been so long, I've never even dumped through
a port to myself. Though, I don't really get off Coriole this much.
I have a bit of anxiety. But he nods like of like shared
empathy, and he says, I I've I've I've heard that they light up
space around the portals. That's apathible, that the portal builders use them to
shed light where there is only darkness. Um. And he's like staring at
it as if it could consume him. Um. And he says oh,
just a little sugar water and the whole thing would light up. Do you
know that if you break it it is said to be bad luck? Though
on the inside they're supposed to be this gelatinous white goo. I'm supposed to
smell sweet. Yes, Um, not that I could bring myself to smatch
such a delicate item. He kind of says in a crazy way, they
have to come by. Well, I will pay you handsomely for this,
and he kind of takes it and tucks it under his arm as the fear
of almost you saying no, you can't have it. Um and uh.
He beeps into his very small data pad on his arm, and he says,
how does say an extra twelve thousand burr sound? I'll make twice that
much on the black market for it, So just it's fine with me.
It's mire no, no payment is necessary. I understand this, but I
could not take such a rare item. It's fine, you can pay me,
wonderful. And he kind of changes something because clearly it was going to
some years bank account, and now it goes to towels and he hits an
inter button and another twelve thousand bearer are transferred to Towel's ship account. Basically,
he says, well, feel free to parket my dogs anytime you'd like,
and you know, just make sure you knock if you need to come
by. But if you have other endeavors, items like this make it well
worth my dollar to give you, so feel free to let me know if
I can ever sponsor you in any way. Of course, I'll let you
know. Thank you for your time, and the camera cuts to Soul Soul,
Hello, do you head back to the ship? Um? He's on
this way. He's kind of like leisurely walking. I would like you to
roll me a wits role. Okay, Hey, do I lose my way?
No? Oh, I got one. You're walking along at a pretty
You're not like rushing there at a normal pace walking. You're walking and you're
strolling, and you get a little bit of a like a pain, almost
like a headache, shoots at the back of your neck. Maybe it's you're
tired, maybe you're dehydrated, you've been through some business over the last few
days. Um, I would look for like a food stand and try to
see if I'm gonna give Yeah, yeah, you're like, I'm definitely low
blood sugar. I need some food. So you stop at a food stand.
Um, they sell you space chicken on a stick, and uh,
you kind of are munching on this, this kebab American kebab. As you
walk through, uh down and as you get to the door that should lead
to township, there sense a figure somebody that you know your father. Are
there people around me? Yeah? I mean people are walking up and down
this. It's like an open thoroughfare, like a road. It's just your
your dad. He stands by, he stands a right even waves. He
has nothing to hide. He's not trying to hide from you. I would
walk I'll walk up to him, be like, what are you doing here?
Well? I heard you were back on the station. Thought i'd at
least dropped by to say hello to my only son. Yeah, you forget
you had three sons, right? Have you forgot that? We Well they
are in fact dead, They're still your sons, of course they are you.
What are you doing here? Well? Son? A long time ago
I taught you that actions come with consequences. I would think by now you
are smart enough to recognize what it is you have been doing for me and
how you have been helping. And I assure you that you're distaste is visceral.
It floats around the air. I know you do not agree with the
work that I have roped you into, but I don't appreciate my name being
used. Two, we all cover up the fact that you were moving drugs
that belong to me to begin with. So I'll take the moment to think
like a fucking asshole. More importantly, so you're never really supposed to come
back. I get that, and unfortunately I yah. Well, you put
me in a rough spotpot you may kill people so you could traffic humans.
I made you kill people so you would be strong straw, he says.
And as for the traffic of people, trust me, their lives are better
when we're done with them. You prefer them to live in the cellars,
starving, not a drop of water to their name. And what exactly are
you doing to them depends on the person. Some of them are brainwashed and
sold into upper class houses. Others of them are taught new trades and crafts
and shipped off to mining colonies. Thinks like a step back, a little
basic. See you genuinely believe you're helping these people. Didn't you get the
fuck out of here? Well, in fact, I will be getting the
fuck out of here because they issued a warrant for my arrest. Good but
ten minutes ago. So so I've come to and it kind of claps you
on the shoulder. Pain shoots through your like up the back of your neck,
and he says, I, well, I just wanted to see your
face one last time. Goodbye, Soul, and he walks off. The
fuck make another wits Checkwit swits failed. You probably crossed the threshold to go
into Tell's ship, and you drop to your knees as a shooting pain juts
up your back and your spine. This headache turns into a throbbing migraine as
it feels like your skull is splitting open. The door behind you close,
and now you're all by yourself in this little hallway. You can see the
door to your home, but you cannot get your body to react as it
rise and it rips at itself, and you sling yourself back and forth as
we watch Soul's face begin to change from his and to his father's. When
it's all done, you are left panting, maybe a little blood out of
your nose. You're sweaty, and as you wipe it off. Your nose
doesn't feel like your nose, and your cheeks don't feel like your cheeks.
You stare into this kind of clear circular tube that feeds you into towels ship,
and you can see your reflection. But what stares back at you,
soul, is not you, but your father. The door to the halt,
yeah, go ahead. So he immediately just punches the reflection. Well
here, yeah, and as he turns, he screamed, not screams,
but he yells luar, and he like stop. He catches himself and he
goes, fuck. No. The door at the end that you just came
through open. There stands the judge, the same one you just left.
Two sets of judicators that serve Coriolis. And the judge says, very simply
and very plainly, I've still been waiting on this. He simply says,
Alcahn, we hold you in contempt. Hold on, that's yeah, right,
and that your father. No, no, you know, I'm I'm
spoking. Yeah, sorry whom Yeah, he says, um, because he
just double checked myself. Here's yeah, he does, yeah, he does.
He simply says, um, alicn trell maron, Oh that's not I'm
not that's not I Everything that you say can and will be held against you
in a court of Coriolis. Wait, there's there's a mistake. Two of
the judicators step in. Don't fucking touch me. I'm not who you.
Don't you fucking come near me. You are going to be held accountable and
tried for acts of treason against the people of Coriolis. You will be tried
for crimes of the mysticides of moving and trafficking people. This is a joke
of the death of an immissary Alkan trell Marin. You will be held accountable
for the deaths of many and will spend your life inside of a prison on
the far end of the third horizon. You're making a mistake. This isn't
this isn't who you. You're not getting this right. You're you're making them
stinking the fuck this all up. Two of them grab you by the arms.
You may fight them. The four of them tussle until they have you
in rather tight cuffs. He says. Your trial will be held in forty
eight hours time. You will not be set for bail. You will go
up against a jury. We will provide you with any kind of gestures as
if somebody would cover your trial for you. You are a bad man,
and many people have died at your hands, and you will suffer. You
will be punished, Soul. I'm assuming he's gonna be in your restraint right
now. Yeah, they've got your hands behind and and they're like holding on
to you. So I'm gonna just rush, like push forward and just get
up on the judge's face and just in like a he's angry. But then
the moment he says you've killed many you will suffer still kind of stops for
a minute and he grits his teeth and he looks back, realizes what the
situation he's in, and he just says, you're going to be the reason
why so many more are going to fucking die. He does not say anything
to that, He doesn't say anything to let He lets them drag you off.
And as they drag Soul's father, kicking and screaming through the street or
through the halls of Coriola's down for his appropriate trial, just off to the
side stands Soul picking his teeth next to a beautiful woman, a dancer.
She kisses him. They walk off, hand in hand. We see them
go all the way down to the cellar to continue his business. We see
rows of people lined up, shackles around their feet in their hands. A
small child says nothing. They don't look malnourished like everyone else. Their cheeks
are still rosy. And as Suel walks hand in hand, they look these
people up and down. His eyes stop on the child, as if drawn
to it in some way. The child smiles, reaches out his hand Saul's
father posed as Sul takes it. He pays a man a pretty pretty birth
to purchase this child a gin waiting for its opportunity. It's mission not complete
yet to end the mysticides. But the judge said, the icon of the
judge said that they would both suffer and suffer he shall. As the camera
cuts back to the three remaining members of our crew, we find Malik Bleek.
I assume tal is kind of sitting at the head of the table that
the judge was at, and he leans down and places the tablet in front
of her so that she can see the sea. The same email and the
sender as he hits sent and then whispers, I think souls a trouble.
We need to go. Yeah. I get up, start moving and as
like, okay, god no, I was gonna say, just a quick
pace. As you make your way back, you are people split and part
as you watch Soul's father being dragged away, so you see your friends.
I think Sul doesn't scream or yell, but he looks at them and he
kind of cries. A single tear runs down Seul's father's face as they drag
him away. I would like for all of you to roll an empathy manipulation
or empathy empathy. Okay, this is do you know Seul's eyes because it
does change their face, but there are certain things that bionics cannot change.
I'm gonna give you a darkness point because it's the end of this season and
I'd like to give yourself to start season three. Oh I was gonna give
her a darkness point again? Why not do it? Yeah, okay,
you can reroll. Guys, still don't care. Get for all those crips.
I have one success. That's fine. You got one. I got
one. That's all we need. One success. I will say that was
scary, A red red roll, right, I told you it was coming.
This is what you get for all those crips. I've rolled, like
twice, they've all been quts. I don't I don't roll well um,
Almost as if in slow motion, Malik Seul's dad turns to looking in the
face this man who has always been a jerk, harsh and cruel and those
things. Those things don't always show on the outside, but if you know
how to look for him, they do. The truth of who a person
is shows through their eyes. And does this face that you recognize a Soul's
father makes contact or makes eye contact with you, and a single tear rolls
down the cheek. That he's not Soul's father. You could swear that those
are Soul's eyes crying tears. So dot I pulled a card and you said
I could use it if I wanted to. I think the moment I make
the realization that that is Soul, Malik stops in his tracks and he closes
his eyes, and he lets out a deep, long breath, and he's
going to do his best to imagine a black void and a single computer terminal.
And I'm going to play that card. And he says, could use
a little help right now, and I play the gym card. In the
last moments of our campaign, a jen card is pulled almost or played almost
too perfect. Considering the fact that we have tusions at play, Malik called
on the darkness. His voice rings out through emptiness as the camera cuts back.
Forty eight hours later, the headlines read that Seul's father was in fact
tried and found guilty on all accounts of human trafficking, of the death of
thousands of people. His punishment a lifetime serving and one of the darkest prisons
and all of the Third Horizon. And as this papers slam down on the
table, and a cackle and laugh lets out from a face that you all
know, Saul's face, though not his voice, not his body. On
the couch or on the seat next to him, the beautiful woman, she
eats some very ripe fruit. And in the room a small child, this
boy is serving them things. And he stops, tips his head like a
dog that hears something that you don't smile crosses the little boy's face as he
looks up and makes eye contact with Saul. There's a brief moment in time
where this ancient gen hidden in the body of a child, pulls from the
darkest depths of what is space in time, and he begins to fry Sul's
father's brain As he does so, this bionic guise is fried, and his
face begins to muddle like somebody's scrambling eggs in a pan. Before it's over
with, the woman in the room is long gone, and again Saul's father's
no longer hidden behind a fake mask. His body slumps backwards, his drool
comes out of his mouth, a little blood out of his ears, his
eyes roll. He is alive, but he seems half the man that he
was. The little boy, satisfied with the information he has retrieved from the
mind of this man, simply walks out of the room and back into the
busy streets of Coriolis. And as the camera pans out over this massive space
station, a proud beacon of everything that the third horizon stands for, a
white butterfly darts across it moves to a new place in a new time.
We see a prison bar slam shut. After a while, the face finally
fades off. Soul. You can see your own face and the bowls of
water that they give you occasionally, but you are locked deep, deep in
the depths of this place, and nobody cares what your face looks like anymore.
And as our camera begins to fade to black. We see a jar,
a canister. It rumbles and quakes. Somebody is restless. She too
heard your cries, Malik, unable to help you, trapped in her prison,
and all we see is the Defiant, parked on the docks of Coriolis,
back home, exactly where it started, and potentially ready for another adventure
into the Third Horizon, maybe to save their friend, maybe to free as
in, maybe to find the missing emissaries, But we won't know until next
time, if there even is a next time. The second season Avoid has
