Arise minions, and welcome to this Unmade Gaming production. Join the crew of
the Defiant as they journey through the Third Horizon at the Mercy of the Icons,
trying to understand just what's happening to the mystics in this Coriolist campaign Void.
The show you were about to listen to was originally a livestream actual play
on twitch dot tv slash Onmade Gaming. Arise, Minions and welcome to Unmade
Gaming. What is that The cameras are correct? Holy crap, he's a
professional. All of a sudden, welcome starting twenty minutes later. That's shut
up. Wait the we're twenty minutes on time. Okay. If you guys
look what we do here and you want to sport the channel, the best
way to do that as the Patreon link down below. While you're down there
to click on that discord link. Join us in the discord, be a
part of the community, Be a part of the conversation, and as always,
in the bottom right hand corner you will see the coruption bar. That
bar serves two purposes. One is when that bar fills dot does whatever she
wants to us. Most of the time, it's terrible. Two single dollar
that goes into that bar goes back to these one of the amazing faces that
you see here before you. That being said, I will turn things over
to Dot to take us into space. Oh friends. Last week was,
as you can see from the recap, an emotional filled drama ride where new
information was received and a lot of questions were left on the table about what
the next step for the crew that defined is. Unbeknownst to the rest of
the crew, Malik made a rather important and poignant broadcast calling out the Nazarene
sacrifice. The order pretty much everybody and timpted to incite the people of the
Third Horizon to step up and to do something about what hopefully is not oncoming
war. I think, I think. Oh and let us not forget too.
Was also delivered a mess, well, the ship was delivered to the
message that towertreved just before we ended. How do I want to do this?
You know what? Okay, it's time. There were a lot of
important decisions made, and it's time for me to spend some important darkness points
for a variety of things. Three of these darkness points are entirely Malik.
Let's just be honest. Malik has spent uh, and brought on a lot
of darkness over the years. Sure he critical success on a lot of stuff
and repercussions for his actions. Two darkness points will be spent now for an
event that has not happened. So that is now five of eleven. We'll
just start there. But how while Malik is locked in his room, So
sorry, everybody ahead, snuck out while Malik is in his room doing whatever
it is Malik does those of you that were in mess the mess hall or
the mess area Tow returns with a small disc unless you have attended to hide
it. Tow. No, we should not be having secrets right now.
Yep, it seems like a good and fair thing to say. So you
see that there's kind of a shiny blue It kind of looks like what those
little discs that you used to put in video recorders look like like. After
we got rid of tapes, we went to the tiny little and it's in
a flat blue case. You know that this is a basic data disc.
I'm sorry. Anytime I see tiny discs like that, I always only imagine
see on the sequel. All right, she has the little earring that is
a data disc and yes, wow, spoilers god keeping. It is twenty
years. It's been like twenty years back off man. So yeah, how
you returned to the crews Malik humming super Nova Girl. I go ahead and
pop this in my own personal data pad to see what's on it. Uh.
You pop it into your data pad, and it is not a video.
It is a serious just a text and you can see it begins to
like clicklick click click click. As the letters pan out on the screen,
you can see it as in fact, a message from the Dragon Knights.
You can see the symbol at the end when it pans out, and it
is your patron that has requested they have very important new information regarding the Nazarene
sacrifice and have requested all of you to join them on Coreo lists. Well.
Perfect, That seems like that's where we are going anyways, if we
can get there, that's something we need to talk about. So uh to
me or I don't know if you have, we filled you in. We're
currently at the City of Foreigners. Uh. To get out, we do
have to run uh the blockade and do a portal jump unassisted. There is
one thing that has always been certain for us. It's that we can run
any blackade and jump through any portal. I'm not worried about that, not
even like a little bit. I mean I always get some pre jump jitters,
But you know, I trust my math, I trust my pilot.
I'd blessed the ship. I mean, we've done worse and still came out
alive mostly. I mean, yes, I suppose so, I mean pressure,
but you've been fantastic, and you know you haven't let us astray.
And how kind of eyes to mirror slightly She definitely looks nervous and says,
well, all we can do is trust in the math, right, do
not forget to trust in our pilot as well. Just because you have the
math doesn't mean you have the skill. But you have the skill every time,
bell every time, and if something were to happen, we are fated.
Remember, our story will not end from a portal jump. I believe
that, Well, there's a first time and the last time for everything,
and I really hope that you're wrong or that you're right. I hope that
you're right. At least we'll go out with a bang. Sorry, I
think at that point all it just comes up, puts like both hands on
your shoulder and looks in your eyes. He goes, Listen, you are
our captain for a reason. We trust you and we believe you. Know,
we're here to support. But every single time you have been fantastic,
and we will believe you'll continue to be fantastic. Besides, you're multi talented.
You have your mystic abilities as well. Maybe perhaps that might help you
have great instinct instinct can't speak, I mean maybe one of these days we're
gonna have to work on your confidence. All right, So I guess we
need to finish fixing the ship and then we can leave. Right, we
start to fix the ship, right, Yeah, it isn't already fixed?
Okay? Correct JM yep, okay, yeah, I mean the ship is
ready to go. You're supplied up, you're fueled up technically. Oh,
ship is fixed okay, yeah, ship is ready to go. But no
sign from alak okay, well open comes to the leaks from pay Malik.
Yeah, yeah, you ready to go? Uh go where? Uh to
Coriolis? Oh? Sure you know if you were here rather than moping,
then you yeah, you would know. Okay are we jumping? Now?
What? What what do we what do you need? Well, we are
going to start taking off, so just thought i'd have you ready in case
we need to get their new security systems or anything like that on our way
out. Got it, got it? Okay, Yeah, I'll meet on
the bridge. Do I pick up anything as an EmPATH about is is Malik
off? Can I checked to see clearly has been off since we lean on
this fucking moon? A very very difficult role to see if he is off
just based on his voice. You can always make it. Okay? Uh,
what sort of a role should I make? It would be manipulation.
Manipulation, which is not my forte. Okay, a single success? Does
he seemed a little would you would you like me to make a competing one?
You can? Yeah? Or do you feel like Milik is trying to
hide what he just did? I thought he did that in front of us,
the sending off, sending off, the no he went to the left
guys in the cafeteria. You have no idea he broadcasts that. I thought
I thought he was going to make a speech, so we knew he was
going to make the speech. Well, he had, he had talked about
it. But you did a gotcha, gotcha? Roger Roger oh Man,
wouldn't leak try to hide the fact that just happened. Yeah, you know
what, I think he would not out of normal lakness. But like we're
about to run a blockade and make a jump through with no calculations or with
only Tamor's calculations. He's not trying to add extra stress to this environment.
Okay, it is a success. He is. He does not seem any
more just distraught than he was when he left here, say, ten or
fifteen, twenty minutes ago. He still seems a little off, but that
seems based on the last time we saw him. There's no difference. Okay,
Okay, he did just yell at a priest for twenty minutes as HM,
you know what, I am gonna go ahead and have you draw that
car. I have put together a new a new deck for the machine icon
for t me Or. This is entirely made up by me. This is
just so that we had a deck. It looks like t Mirror pulled the
malfunction card. Why that is like that? You are you ready for this
fucking card, Mike. I'm gonna need you to go ahead and pull a
card too, because I played the person of influence that was showed me that
was played lastly you sure did. Can you can choose a new faceless card?
There are no more cards in my deck? Do I need you to
reshuffle it? That seems incorrect? Let me, I just do what roll
Twayne tells me. Right again, Let's see here, Oh, an artifact?
An artifact? Okay? Cool? So we have three colors played.
So death is still on the table, Mountain is still on the table.
Malfunction and an artifact. None of those sound great? Kp the devil with
yours? Blame the cards. I don't Apparently I don't have the heart of
the cars all right, based on Malik's actions last week. No, you
know what, I'm gonna hold on that too, because it's gonna take some
time for your information to disseminate. Doubt, it's not gonna do it in
twenty minutes. Across the galaxy, it is uh, Sally as maybe you
head to the cockpit or Sally, here's you all talking about getting ready to
leave, and she says, Captain, we may have a problem. What's
that, Sally? It seems that inbound there are six martyr soldiers. They
have come off of a vessel parked nearby, brought in from the city.
Great one minute until they reach the vessel. I come over, Colms six
Martyr soldiers and bound Sally, give me visuals, and I start walking towards
the door. Yeah, you can see all the calm screens across the ship
begin playing the cameras from the outside. You can see these six Martyer soldiers,
dressed entirely and like martyr attire and armor, begin to like split off
in two as if they are going to maybe surround the ship. Two of
them head straight for the gangway. Yeah, you're just going to head to
the station and start prepping the ship for lunch. I will note it is
day two of the meetings. Here in the city. We still technically have
that person that we said we were going to kidnap, but if you know,
I mean that's you could just let them do their thing. So they're
currently in the gardens, which is one of the six domes that make up
this massive like city. And yeah, before you know it, two soldiers
are kind of at the door, and do you hear the comms come on
by the order of the para, please evacuate your shuttle. We would like
to have a word. That's weird, Captain, I come back. No
visual, just sound, what's the word? We will ask you one more
time. Please evacuate the shuttle so that we may ask you questions. Oh
hello, captain, do you want me to do? You want us in
air? Engines will be ready to go in a moment. I don't know
what to do. Again, By the order of the Pariah, please evacuate
your shuttle or we will be forced to enter. Captain, we need to
go. Let's go. You're gonna try to take off? Okay, how
I guess that you run up? Do you want anybody else that you're taking
off? Oh? This is all over, comms great, Okay, Malik
is headed to the bridge like you said, wonderful are is? Uh?
Okay? Uh? The moment you start the ship town, you hear them
come over Colmes once more, because you know the gangway draws up. By
the order of the Pariah, stop your vessel or we will be required to
shoot on site and the goal just double checking on my own way. Uh.
Olia doesn't have any affiliation with the Order of the Pariah, right,
She's been on the run from them from the so she has no feelings towards
these people. Okay, good, that's why, Yeah, all right,
yeah yeah. Other big effects. I legally doctor the planet. I'm going
to use my talent. Okay, I have the travelers talent, which I
can ask the GM about. A choice I have to make in the game
has to be a choice with only two options. Should I say or should
I go? Should I say yeah? The GM must then answer truthfully,
which is a two is most beneficial to you? If that is all possible
to estimate. Okay, if you flee, they will send a fleet after
you to shoot me down. Uh if you which TAW would know. I
mean they have some of the most important diplomats right now on this planet,
which you can only imagine means there is a military force to back it.
They would not bring them into this view if they didn't think they could keep
them safe. You're not sure how they located the vessel. Uh. Yeah.
Radio broadcasts are easily traceable, but you don't know that anything with broadcast
formership yet. If you stay and follow their or they have not, there
might be an opportunity for you to talk your way out of it. Ship
searches are regular and in height and time like this. They may just be
looking to search this or like see who's on board of why you're not docked
at like the regular docs and so forth and so on, So your best
option would be maybe to comply or risk possibly being chased, which is gonna
make your jump very difficult. Yeah, at this point, I power down
and I say just stay here the ship like oof down. The engines go
down, and you can hear once more the kind of they were yelling over
top of it. You know, like when you're yelling at a bar and
then the music stops. It's kind of like that. They were yelling into
the comms as you booted the vessel up, and he's like midway through once
again, please evacuate the ship. As the door slides open, and in
front of you stand these two martyr soldiers. Some might even call them warriors
based on the amount of armor they wear. They both carry rifles with them.
The other you can see, like too often that I say, out
of your peripher one at both ends of the ship, and you can only
imagine there are two others like surrounding it and their ship. You can see
it all way off in the distance where they kind of pulled in, and
the two martyrs simply say, are you deaf or just an idiot? I've
been accused both. To be honest with you, Are you the captain of
this vessel? Yes? May I ask what you're doing in this area?
You did not clock in with the docks. Well, we were having issues
with the ship. When I came down, it wasn't quite able to make
it. Did you report these issues to who? It's wild in there?
The dock master would have served, But yes, it is wild. Unfortunately,
this area is restricted for the next two days. We are going to
have to ask to search your ship. We received a strange radio beacon coming
from this area. Well, I didn't broadcast anything, and we're not saying
you're a liar. We would just like to see for ourselves. Yes,
we have been here for several days already, but you've been way under the
radar. Nobody knew you came in right, so nobody was able to search
you down at this point. But today is garden day and the gardens are
the nearest dome to where you're parked. Well, if it makes you feel
better, I can just leave. We will grant you such permissions as soon
as we searched the ship. Why you need to search my ship. It's
been here longer than you Why are you fighting us? Are you hiding something?
No? I just like my freedom and I don't want strange people on
my ship. Would you like to roll a manipulation? Oh, I don't
have any manipulation. Okay, I can roll empathy. That's not going to
do great. Can I argue that that was a command because I don't I
don't want anybody on my Well, I I don't want anybody on my ship.
How much? How many extra dice does your command add? Two?
It's pretty significant. I I will I will give you the chance to try
to command them to leave you alone. One, he says. Uh.
One of the gentlemen standing here says miss he's the other one that hasn't really
talked. Look, we don't want any trouble. In fact, that is
exactly the opposite of what we want. We will forego the search of your
ship, but you must bring your whole crew out for us to question.
Fine. I don't have a large crew, but you can say hi to
them. I guess this would suffice. He kind of takes a few steps
back, as if to let you off. And then the rest of your
crew. I go over comms, I say, crew of the Defiant,
we are foregoing a search for everyone to come and present yourself to the pupil
here mire l Margot oh, and immediately Harboot start clicking your direction. Yeah,
I we're just gonna head that way. Although he's unsure if they are
being themselves or if they are using their false identities when this order comes across.
I mean, there's no taming Lamara. But if Tamir kind of hesitates
for a second, you see Malik reach back and pull out whatever's holding his
hair up, and he like pulls a finger through the braid that's on the
side of his head, so his hair just kind of falls like shaggy to
the side, and he undoes his she mug and puts it on the chair
that he was at and he walks out slowly un lays her hair down.
He slowly unbuttons his jacket as he goes to to try to look slightly different
seeing seeing that, then Tamir is gonna he doesn't really have much. He
wears a uniform that nobody else wants to wear on this ship, so he
kind of like maybe unbuttons it a bit. It just kind of like do
falls over. Yeah, Yeah, it just like falls open, right,
and and just I mean his his hair is messy. He can't contain it.
But maybe he just grabs like whatever space hat, you know, and
just kind of like puts it on and and try to keep his head as
like maybe a little extra grease on your face or a paradi something to help
shit a little bit. Well, yeah, oh yeah, he put he
puts the glass. He takes his glasses off and then puts artifact classes on.
Nice. They look really different. And you have to have a baseball
cap from uh from college right here, you school merch. Alia is not
with us at the moment, but I imagine Alia will not go out without
her super the face thing that changes her voice if nothing else. The four
of you step out, and you see what taws All these two men armor
guns their vessel just off in the distance, and they kind of look at
all of you as kind of square into one of them does he leans over
and whispers something in the other martyr's ear, and the head guy looks up
at the ship where it's painted. Did you'll repaint it? Yeah, it
doesn't say the Defiant anymore. He looks for the name of the ship and
notes that it's different, says, well, there's a ship matching your naked
model wanted, but it is not called the Client. It was not called
the Compliant. Strangely, it was like Startust or something something. And he
goes. He looks you up and down, and he says, your captain
tells us you had some engineer issues. And he looks right at to me,
are very clearly the engineer with the smoot and the jumpsuit and the kind
of Wolgan goggle type things. Oh, Chat says, was it the phoenix?
Oh yeah, sure, it FROs from the ashes. It lives a
second time, and uh yeah, he looks right. He says, there
were some engineering problems. Is is this true? Yes? Unfortunately, Uh,
while we were out in space, we encountered debris from the battles that
had been going on and needed to have an emergency lending to make repairs.
That's not entirely false, So I won't make you make a check. Shit
false, I want to make a check. I'll have you make a check.
I don't think that that's lying. Is not manipulation is not to me.
But he's empathetic. H I mean he Timir has no idea why they
actually landed here. Uh Tamir was out. There were a few. Oh
that's right, Yeah, you're kind of we've talked about it though. Yeah,
y'all did like debrief the reason why you landed on this place in particular,
it was only populated place. That was how you could get the broadcast
out, Like, there were a few reasons to be here. Okay,
I got the I got a one limited success. Okay, cool, So
okay, a single success. He kind of nods like that's maybe not unheard
of. He says, that checks out. But my real question is what
are you doing in Zallos here? Somebody else is going to answer that question,
because to me, are we all together? You chose I didn't.
Yeah, if you want to come out, I said that you probably would
have had your mask on, But it's up to you. They asked all
the crew to leave the vessel so they could question you in exchange for not
searching it. Okay, okay, we are they're here to escort me.
I'm on on a on a pre trading mission. Yes, trade the free
traders. There's striking right now all across the galaxy. We could probably arrest
you just for saying that. So why are you asking our engineer while we're
here, and not our captain, who's we've already spoken with her. In
your name, Ah Massad Massad. His eyes kind of squint again. He
looks at the other guy, like everything's just just enough off. This is
all right. And we've been we've been on a jump and we've been traveling
so as you know, especially in the outskirts like this, the world reaches
kind of slow. So we we found out that these strikes have been happening
only recently and in that time, as you can say, and she points
to the vessel that's clearly dinged up and needs repairs, that we've ran across
pirates, asteroid fields, so many things that have harmed our ship. And
that means you weren't coming from Koua or the nearby system. So how did
you jump in? Our portals have been located for weeks. I need to
shut up. No, you're good. You can roll a manipulation. No
clue what you're not about? Bray, Okay, manipulation, Oh okay,
I can certainly try. That's the one that is okay, another limited success.
He kind of squints. Okay, that kind of checks out. You
could have been coming from odicon where there actually are pirates like that. Space
pirates checks out. That checks out. What doesn't check out is how you
jumped in. He squits again, and he looks over to a little Moura.
You've been quiet. What is it you do on this ship? And
she smiles all Briday, I'm the doctor. Mm hmm. And what would
a crew of free traders need with a doctor? It's the same thing every
crew needs with a doctor. Have you not been to space? It's brustill
out there. Everyone needs to see a doctor. It's very important for your
health. It's why we provide doctors and all of the major portal stations and
surrounding stations. Usually free trade, small free trader crews don't carry their own
doctor unless they don't. I don't know if you've been on a spaceship before,
but you see how ours is dinged up, and we barely made it
here. If we didn't make it here, we'd be floating in space,
unable to reach a portal doctor. So having a doctor would be pretty useful.
Lamara so manipulative, I think, is the only one that rivals me.
That's down the media. All of you smell this kind of sweetness in
the air a honeysuckle and yes, strain Malik, you're a you successfully rolled
the last this, so you don't have the infatuation UNEs. But you can
see that immediately all of these uh almost can't stop turning to look at Lamara.
The two martyrs immediately turned to look at Lamara, and the four that
are surrounding the ship begins slowly walking back this way as if drawn in.
I wouldn't say against their will. They openly do it, but there's a
little bit of a yeah, as if they're being a pulled to her this
unseen force. And La Mara says, don't worry. I used to serve
on one of those stations. I have checked all of the crew out and
they are tip top okay, And they go, oh, yes, ma'am,
of course they are. They look good. She leads, and she
goes, actually, between me and you, they all took some major head
trauma and I'm trying to get them back to you know, a proper doctor.
And he goes, oh. And as she leans it, you can
tell one of them lingers in the air next to her inhaling the pheromones that
her body is letting out, and she goes, but if we don't go
soon, it could be permanent. And the other guys no, he goes,
no, wonder they're being so strange. Thank you doctor for your honesty.
I suggest that you get out of here as soon as possible. This
is a volatile area and we hate that we had to stop you, but
checks must be made. I must also know have you seen any others out
here? This strange radio signal was very strong. Oh, we have with
genuine honesty. I feel like, right now is it Cherita again with with
the with the She goes, He goes, I love charity. She goes
us too, and he goes, you're all right this crew, I don't
think there's anything suspicious going on here. They seem a little. Omar goes
a little and he says quickly, we'll let you leave, but you only
have five minutes. After that we will have to take alternate actions. Yeah,
let's go. You heard the man. Thank you. One of them
goes where we didn't get your name, and she goes, I know because
I didn't give it to you. One of them swims a little bit from
underneath the helmet. You can tell. As all of you pile back on
the defiant, and the door closes up and you can see the six stole.
The six of them kind of step away, and there's a moment as
the pheromone leaves the air. They kind of shake that off. The critical
success from Lamara is enough to convince them that there is everything wrong with all
of you and nothing wrong with her, and she very clearly is in charge
here and there's nothing that needs to be This is of no concern to them.
As you get back on board the ship and she goes, fine,
they were so nice. Are we still under her effect? Sure? Really?
All of it does is make you more susceptible if she tries to manipulate
you in some way. It's more of kind of like the ferabone just in
general, is it's rose glasses. Yeah, yeah, it's rose colored glasses.
She's just that much nicer and more beautiful and more charming. And but
she, you know, the pheromone comes and goes at her own pace,
and in this case, she got nervous, and that's what happens when she
gets nervous or pharamone goes off. Conversely, you see where they go.
Yeah, yeah, no, they were real nice. As he walks to
the bridge. I know, and you know what, I haven't even seen
the Defiant TV station in like two weeks. And she goes over and boops
on the one of the monitors. I'm preparing for takeoff, but everybody's like
preparing for takeoff, and everybody's doing their thing. Lamara turns on the Charity
station. I don't know if you can hear it, because you actual loves
to play it throughout the ship and you are met with Charity's voice. Third
Horizon, have we got news for you? A fresh broadcast come in from
the Defiant. The Sons of Algol are at it again. For the next
twenty four hours, will be broadcasting his speech all across the Third Horizon,
non stop, back to back. This has been Charity. I feel like
at that moment, literally everybody just turns their head and stares at them.
Lately and sure Enough's voice. People like a really that comes across the street,
like it's really tiny, and it's like slowly zooming in as a studio
plays and getting bigger and bigger. Our ancestors I swim the Icons Horizon.
If you start, they their boots on your necks. I didn't start a
war force, and where once the consortium stood against their ideal has a dark
beach speech was is this the speech the bulletin only it's a different speech.
Will to this end, I prepared multiple speeches. Speech of course is the
ultimate or one. Saviors of them, we have a portal Jumpy traded by
the very enemy. They gave everything to defeat this actor. They is a
that I make lightly sounds just like Riyah has been infiltrated by a cult.
That's a sacrifice. Really manipulating you, Captain Song who I we have identified
as residence the vessel like as you hear everything, pressurize h Lamara continues to
flip through the stations. Uh and uh she does as much as I like
looking at your face, and she like clicks another button because the only thing
is like Malik's picture and his voice on repeat, this this speech on repeat,
and she flips flips through. She hits like a news station on Corio
list. You can see they're covering the the ongoing like fights on the docks.
She clicks again and you can see there's like some order of the pariah
stuff that's covering. Uh, the these politicians and the gardens. They look
very peaceful in talks. They are like at a distance, you know,
so forth and so on. Click click click, click click. As the
ship takes off, How no problem getting out of that, like out into
out of atmosphere like that, that's easy, psy once you hit and get
out of like off I guess you could say off planet side or out of
atmosphere. You can see all the ships still linger here on what insider the
order of the Paria vessels, which at one point, especially during the Portal
Wars, were very well known for their their ship fleet. A lot of
it has been I guess you could say destroyed over the years. And the
big issue that happened, you know that all of you managed to survive.
Nobody else did really wiped out a lot of the fleet. But what's left
of their major vessels are here and they're staring at off as Zelosian fleet as
these ships just isolate and you can see on the far side of all of
these battleships staring each other down is the portal station. Yeah, so the
idea of just zipping straight through the line sounds like a really really bad one,
right, Ah mean, yeah, we're gonna agree that's the idea that's
probably for sure there is some stealth stuff on the ship. Yeah, some
creative thinking may get you around. You could there are there are options.
Yeah, so I think, Yeah, I'm gonna be a bitch. Uh
No, I'm gonna I'm gonna do some bullshit. And uh so we have
the quickest route talent per feature. Okay, you find the quickest route travel
takes half the amount of time or one encounter along the way maybe ignored.
Okay, there's an Okay, so I mean I could, I can definitely
that that is applicable. How passing straight through the middle technically is the most
direct route, It is not the safest route. Uh. Yeah, there
are a few things for consideration here, but probably the fastest way over is
to try to pick a fleet, probably the order, and hide yourself amongst
their smaller vessels. I try to disguise yourself as part of their chunks of
fleet as you you maneuver your way through. If you pass right down the
empty center, there's no doubt they'll see you. If you say hide yourself
amongst the ships, you might have an easier time. Yeah. Could we
float on like a piece of debris? Uh, there's so much Sure could
try you will have to power down to still not be read as a ship,
right, so like you can text to it and then and then float
some other things for consideration that Tamir would know. Technically the portal was activated
from the station, so it's gonna take some serious finagling. Not because you
don't have the address. You have the address to Coriolas, but you basically
have to hack the portal here, which is under heavy military watch right now
because it is a blockaded portal and like last time, there's nothing for you
to hop behind, like no, they had to ride it on. Tamir
is feeling so cocky right now, though, do it fucking do it?
Like I mean the other they have the best pilot, they have the best
hacker. This is a recipe for disaster, just saying I t miror I
don't know what it is. Tamir's is feeling. I think after Showley's talk
is like she's right, we have gotten through so much shit that everybody else
should have died from, and yet here we are still doing things. If
we're gonna die, it's going to be doing something big. So all the
little medial tac like I feel like that's given him that false sense of security.
Okay, I mean it's not necessarily so false. I mean, so
to answer Tal's question, the most right ground is right at the middle.
Now you know that both of these fleets are currently at a lock. There
is a no firing ball kind of in place at the moment, which means
if one of them were to fire on you, it would start war.
So there's a possibility they may still just let you through because they're not going
to be able to do anything else without inciting other issues. So there are
a few options. You can hide yourself to get where you need to go.
You could attempt to open the portal from a distance to mirror and then
shot put yourself right down the middle into it. I love that plan,
Like, just just power you know, pedal to the middle of power max
right up the middle, portal already situated and open, and just right through
it you all. Sounds so cool, though it's a much riskier, yeah,
super risky option. This sounds is so cool though, But yeah,
I agree, I agree that uh, trying to get at least a bit
closer. Uh, hiding in in one of the armies is probably a good
idea. Powering down the ship saves power, but we have no way to
really direct ourselves. It'll take you a lot longer too. Yeah, and
also means that it just gives people more time to figure us out and then
we're in trouble by the time that happens. So at least if we're already
powered on, we're already moving. Yeah, so what if we changed our
call sign? So I was going to say, one of the things that
if you were hiding amongst them, that you want to do is kind of
right cloak the vessel to make it look like codes for whichever army were part
of That way we could move freely between them. Quick quick question. I
feel like this is the any other talent that I can in any form used,
But it's such a mulligan sometimes. But I do have premonition. Is
there any chance I can use premonition in this set today? Like meaning in
the timeline, like it's not changed? Ah, did you use it last
time? I used it for something? But I don't know if it was
today and for what, because it's already the second day. Like premonition you
had, I failed, it failed miserably. I think I want to say
it was probably it was something to do with Lamara was it the it was
it was same day. So it's up to you if you want to try,
but it will be a much harder success rate in essence, like you're
gonna need to get more than less to be able to make it. Okay,
I want to try. I want to try. It just worth a
shot. Come on, baby, come on? Oh okay, okay.
A limited success you timed to put should premonition. Time slows down around you
and you you try to see through what's going on. Yeah, I'm just
like kind of like almost essentially looking at the different paths and what direct like
which one is the safest path kind of a situation, like the outcomes that
will lead or at least what feels like a better outcome. Mmm. A
premonition doesn't necessarily mean that you see yourself doing the thing you want to do.
What you actually end up seeing is the moment where Tao has to jump
through on her own. So the right because in the end of the day,
you will have to be in cryer the moment you jump through, which
means everything will have to be preset up in advance. So the shot put
idea means that basically you set everything up. Everybody goes under, and Tow
like launches you through and speed you across, which means Tow's on her own
and has a lot shorter chance of making it to her own cryor to if
you hide right. You kind of see that that path, and you see
successes in cloaking yourself amongst the armies and so forth and so on, and
tal still has to make that final jump kind of on her own before she
pops in the cry of tube, but she's not racing a clock a shot
putting yourself in right, So it has a more calm tone instead of the
rushed feel. I think it really depends on how quite how quickly you want
to get there, and what the risk factor is for you. Yeah.
I mean, like you just see like uh Aya kind who was like doing
like at the table, like doing something with her hands, and then suddenly
goes still and then turns to how she goes There's something about the more rushed
path that doesn't both well with me. It feels like there's a chance we
might have something happened to you. Perhaps maybe the slower approach maybe best,
even if it takes a little more time. I feel like it guarantees all
of our safety more, including yours now Alia. You can't really control how
these mystic abilities work. Sometimes perminissons are short and sweetened to the point,
but this was one you pushed for. You kind of already use this power.
You've exhausted yourself already. And as you're saying all of this out loud
to everybody, the premonition is not done and all different rips you back,
and it is not, in fact, anything to do with the defiant.
You see this premonition of vessels of ships coming over the top of a mountain.
Must been a darkenest point of play card coming up over this mountain.
As they come up over the mountain, you see a ragged city made of
steel and tall buildings, aged with time and wear, slums a lot around
the outskirts. You've never actually seen the city before. But as you come
up over the mountain you see a series of white butterflies. They kind of
swoop up and over from your view, and as they race towards this city,
your premonition is cut short by an explosion as they begin to vomit.
Do I in any way recognize the city? You do not? Is there
any did I recognize or not recognized, but were there any features in there
that seemed to stand out to help distinguish the city. I would say it's
actually hard for you to even take that in right now because as the explosion
goes off on your premonition, it throws your body in this moment back against
a wall. Oh Ali, are you okay? I? Ah? Just
what did I just I just had another premonition. I didn't control this.
This is not I didn't ask for this. It just came to me,
and they were everywhere. They were. They're here. I don't know when,
I don't know how, but hundreds of them, the butterflies, they're
here and they're attacking. They were they were going to attack some city.
I don't know which one. I didn't recognize it. It was just something's
about to happen. Okay, well, something's about to happen because we're about
to sneak through to try to get back to the portal. Uh, so
docull yourself in so you don't fly back again. Oh. A quick question,
dot, does is there an inkling based off of this new premonition?
Does it give a feeling of urgency in the sense of if we don't make
it in time, wa No. This gives a feeling of like maybe this
hasn't even happened yet, right right, aw something right, So it hasn't
quite happened yet, but the actions are in motion and tumbling forward when it'll
happen that you you just don't know, okay, Like I said, it
was partially because you didn't quite make the role. It was like a repercussion,
right, you saw something you didn't mean to. But the sense of
urgency really I think is for Alia, right, like what is your like
how or is it do you think it feels? But you in terms of
timeline, you have no concept. Okay, yeah, because like now she's
ah nooy. She turns to tall. He goes, I leave it to
your best judgment, Captain, because I feel, ah, I feel which
path we take. I trust you. I need to go get, I
need to get I need to sit down. Well, Lamara comes over and
kind of grabs you by the hand and arm and helps guide you away to
a corner room. Buckle you like, kind of sit you down and she
kind of you know, she looks at your eyes and make sure you're dilating,
and she says, it's very strange. It says if you've had a
concussion. I mean I did slam into the wall. Well, I'm gonna
take all of you to bed bay. Let us know when we should hop
in the pots. Yeah, be ready. I'm gonna try to think through
to the other side. But if we're discovered, we're gonna hit it quick.
Okay. So we're gonna get a series of rolls from everybody in terms
of what they are doing to help the ship succeed it getting to the portal.
What's the crew up to you? After all this goes on, Malik
has been like dud dude, ring on all kinds of screens. This things
are swiping around as like numbers crunching. Uh. And he looks over to
to me and says, can you power down all non essential pod bays and
all non essential tasks for the ship and redirect that power towards the stealth tech
engines, stealth tech and signal so that we can fucking pack a portal.
I guess I don't know. I mean I could, but the stealth tech
can only handle so much power. Even if we gave everything into the ship
to it, it would only be what it is. We would need entirely
new new tech in order to convert that energy into something more. So boost
that and boost speed as quickly and quietly as we can that you probably could
do. What it would mean is that you're going to route power from your
turrets, extra pods anywhere on. All the lights on the ship will go
down to like emergency power basically, so to speed yourself up. In essence,
you will lose your like auto cannons. Yeah, yeah, we actually
we did this before. We did this before. That's how Sally got into
the system. It's true, it's true. So I'm going to get a
science or technology role. I'm guessing from Tamyr Malik, is your goal to
try to change the ship codes to like match or what are you planning?
No, I guess my goal is Iman, I have a cool scene in
my head. My goal is like I'm having a bunch of like like Malik
is furiously writing on seven screens at the time right now, is like scripts
are going and he's waiting to hit like go on all these scripts. Okay.
The intent is once we get close enough to the portal to basically hack
the portal master so that we have access to turn that portal on. Okay,
I would say with the redirection of energy. Maybe your radius to be
able to do that is larger. Okay, so I was still going to
have you make a damage in check to see if you can hack the the
portal master. We're gonna get a sign sorry technology role from to me,
or we're gonna get a piloting check from tow Alia. As you and Lamar
reached med Bay, she kind of sits you down and she hands you what
is an essence like space oranges and a slice of you know, or like
bram crackers porrages. Yeah, basically to help you like feel better and essence.
Uh. And she says you're gonna You're gotta be fine. She just
looks like maybe a headache, and she hands you two pills. She said,
this should help with it. Okay, thank you, Tomata. Pop
it in and then drink some water. But you can tell she's like very
concerned, like very very concerned. Yeah, that I mean, that's I
mean, what else can she do? She's already blessed the ship. Okay,
so maybe a silent prayer as you and LaMura hang on and t oh
oh ah, I don't ah is I don't think I've done this in a
while, and I don't know if it will work. It's been a long
time. But is there a way that I can communicate with the Lady of
Tears? Uh? You can sure try because I think that's what I thought
that was. I don't know if I feel like I wrote this down wrong,
but one of my talents is literally Lady of Tears talent. I don't
know, Guyst's there's a special Lady of Tears talent. Okay, it is
that space. There's like an icon talent along with your right which I don't
know if I ever you. I mean, I don't remember if I wrote
it down correctly here, So I can't remember what exactly it was because I
have I have premonition, blessing, exorcism, and Lady of the Tears talent.
Yeah, I just need to find what the Lady of the Tears talent?
Who is everybody? This whole talents icon talents, Lady of the Tears.
You can get back up after having been broken by damage or stress,
our immediately restored to one HP alternative if you can choose to ignore the effects
of a critical injury when you say okay, okay, so that would you
can still try to pray to the Lady of Tears. There's nothing stopping you
from doing that, whether or not you'll hear something back. Well, well,
yes, I will like to do that. Done. Please, do
I do a mystic just straight mister girl, hmmm, no this one.
I actually want to know what you pray. I want to know what you
say to the Lady of Tears, guidance, asking for more clarity on what
I saw, perhaps an idea of when, where, especially where it's happening,
because I don't know. I will provide you a empathy chick, because
the Lady of Tears is all about empathy, to see if you you reach
straight empathy care. Oh come on baby, that's a limited limited success.
Yes, right, how about this? Alia starts to pray, eyes closed,
You reach out to the Lady of Tears, looking for guidance in this
moment, looking for guidance. As the ship begins to power up, you
see all the lights go down and like emergency lights come on as things begin
to shift and preps are made. Let's get rolls from everybody else. You're
right, we have a workshop on board, so the technology roll gets a
plus one. We have a blessing on this vessel. So there's a plus
one for Tao. We also have stealth technology plus one ship technology that reduces
the signature by one. I'll give you a plus one to this as well.
Then okay, three plus ones and then and then we also have antimatter
robots to give them maneuverability plus two. I'm going to hold on that plus
two only because that's going to come in handy if you have to run.
Basically, you make another piloting check to get out of there with that,
because right now you're going to be slowly maneuvering versus like manipulating the vessel,
which is really what that's for. So let's take the three to start.
Give you a pilot check. So we got limited a one technology role,
limited to data gen check two private. So no no failures, no failures
at all. You only managed to put some things to rest and able to
redirect in certain ways without blowing the ship up. Basically, maybe not as
successfully as you wanted, but you do manage to boost a signal for Malik
Malie. Did you take a plus one for that? I did not do
roll an extra die so you can get another six. Okay, great,
Nope, okay taligans to maneuver very slowly. The closer you get, the
stronger that signal is the leak beause you begin to hack into the portal basically
the portal station to gain control. You know you're gonna need to mirror to
actually intercordinates and such into program that once you get there. But you have
successfully hacked in, because you've got to two and on a one. They
have not so far, they have not noticed that you've hacked in. It's
been completely secret. How you're doing a great job. Which side do you
go? The Zelosian side or do the order of the Paria side hide the
order of the Pria side because those Dilosians are going to definitely have more tighte
of security and more uniformity of their ships and their flight patterns. Good call.
So again, camped in. Yeah, but surely you hit like a
small patch here, and you you hover long enough to pass to the next
section and slowly but surely twenty or thirty minutes go by. Alia you've been
in this deep kind of prayer state. The team seems to be successful this
far. At least somebody's been blown out of the sky. Everything seems to
be nice and quiet. You do not hear back from the lady herself.
Actually, you've never heard from the lady herself before. I thought I did
technically because I thought we had a conversation with her when I was doing the
exorcism or talking to the gin. Oh right, yes, yes, she
inspired you during that. You're right, that's the most you've ever got.
But that is not this. It's more of fractured portions of the premonition,
these flashes. If you've ever had a migraine, this is much what this
is. Right where like like sensitivity and your head is like you can't make
your way around any of it. It's you thought the medicine might help,
but it's not. You did get a success to reach out to her,
and you specifically asked for guidance regarding this planet. And uh, a sharp
pain shoots up the back of your neck into the front of your head.
And you see a planet in a system. Now you see the butterflies arriving
here before they make it down planet side. You have never been to this
planet. I would question you know what, broy Uh just got to be
like a hang on, gonna look at culture check, a culture check.
What I was looking for a culture check. I'll give you a culture check
if you kind of come out of this sharp pain of this planetarkness point,
that's good. Dag it dot dag it all. Come on, baby,
come on, come on. Okay too okay, too limited too. And
you're like you're trying to wreck your brain. And you're like, okay,
what did I see in that system? There were this many planets, that
many moves. You start running through your head. What could it be?
What can you realize after quite a while? You don't even know how long
you've been under in prayer and meditation? Uh, it is the planet of
Algol. You just see Alia just like, oh god, ah how she
like like you see her trying to get up from the table. And then
just like Laura doesn't let that happen yet, she kind of catches you.
She says, you're not going anywhere. She goes over to the column and
you hear say, Captain tell I know calms are supposed to be dead right
now, but Alia is not doing greed. I need to tell I need
to tell them we can't right now trying to stay kid like literally like slamming
on the table because of the pain. Yeah, I just excuse me.
While I she injects you with something into your arm. You feel that pressure
of that gun just like oh, and there's this this moment of just euphoria
as it passes over your body and puts you into kind of a nice sleep.
This is when Tal's the voice comes back over the colms. Look,
we're about to jump through. Can you just go into the cryo chamber?
Alia? Uh? Yeah, yeah, yes, I will take Alia to
the cryo chamber. This little tiny thing is gonna take So Lamara begins the
process of dragging Alia down the hallway very slowly, like I imagine, scooped
under the arms, and she begins trying to like move while this. While
this is going on, she'saying to give you one of these cryo tudes that's
not turned off. How you make it all through the fleet to the other
side to mir Uh, you're unless you're going to get right up on the
portal. You're gonna need to program and open it up and then do a
kind of last minute shot put in for tell. Okay, let's do it,
especially with potentially the the double checking of UH calculations with and get you
get a plus one dot. I'm sorry, dot could I could I take
two Mir's calculations and like quickly make a program that's gonna run his calculations while
we're in the tube, so like he doesn't have to be out here.
Like I can make a thing that automatically runs. He could like press a
buttons. He just presses a button and it will run through all the calculations
that to me has already done. Let's get another datagen check along with Tameir's
uh, technology or science, I would said, is probably technology? Okay,
yes too too okay, more limited successes. So in this case,
Malik is in so far they have not noticed you, which is good.
But you're not completely out of the water yet. You program this basically you
type it all out, Malik writes a piece of program and how he sends
it in essence or programs it into a button on your captain panel that you
can hit just in time to make it into your crier to with a little
bit more ease. Okay, that's good. So basically when you set up
to when we set up to make the jump, it looks like it'll be
a success. No problem in that regard. Now, because you're using Ari
and the technology that you have is all about jumping through portals, and one
of the things the First Horizon has mastered is not having to jump system by
system that they can go one portal to another portal to another portal. So
a trip that might have taken you many weeks now will not take you take
you many weeks. Everything seems to be in place. You hear Alia come
over the comp she goes, Ali is in the cryotube. Check are you
okay? Lamara? It was fine, great, Just so I was working
out, and you see if you cut to the room with all the cryo
tunes, Ali is in there, like strapped in, but she's like already
passed out, you know what I mean. And Ali is like trying to
push her heavy body with one hand, and yeah, Lamara's trying like push
Ali's body with one hand and get the door closed, you know, like
in yeah, stuff and stuff on her in basically, but she has successfully
gotten her and she hits the button and you the cryo likes pour in and
put Alia under stasis. As Lamar goes, I'm gonna hop in as well.
Anything you need for me, Captain, have a good nap. I
saved you a seat. Milik on my way, okay, click uh and
she she crawls in and doesn't, of course put the cry on on because
she's waiting for Malik to join her as she waits behind glass. So three
of you are all that are left in the cockpit of the vessel. As
you finished programming, you finish writing the code to kind of time this if
you would. I imagine it's much like the code you'd write to program a
camera to do a ten second. Right, is very similar, Like you
hit the button and then it's got a delay on it before it runs.
The program opens the portal and then TAL can shoot us shoot you through.
How as everything sets up, it looks like this might actually be a success,
but you're gonna have to jump from here to there, which is a
much trickier, trickier piloting check. You're kind of setting yourself up for an
autopilot. And this is the part where you may get noticed because that portal
is not supposed to open up for any reason. I Tal is absolutely one
hundred percent sure that there is no way they're going through one noticed, no
way whatsoever. Right, So you're just going to minimize the space in which
they could see you. Yes, she's she's only trying to minimize the space
the time in which they have to stop her. Uh, that's that's what
she is looking for. So she's going to she's going to inch as close
as she possibly can before hitting that portal on button and going through. Oh
my god, I'm so fucking nervous, Malik, and so here I imagine
you go. You cryo cryo too. After after a very confident kiss and
like, I'll see you on the other side, places is hand on her
shoulder, gives it a little squeeze. That's the CRAYD chamber. When when
Malik walks out of the bridge, sorry, when Timir walks on the bridge,
Malik is standing there. Uh, and like as they're walking together,
he looks her and says, look, man, if we survive, we
gotta get like a double winde one of these cryo tubes. This is it's
it's she just won't get in her own it's it's what there, Why don't
you get into her? One person? She gets in mind, there's one
person. Yeah, go get in the one that she would be in.
But she it's open, it's open, and she's sitting there waiting push the
button. Can you imagine the tantrum when we wake up. Not my problem,
It's gonna be everyone and it just like slaps them on the face gently
giggles from the background because it's not coming through her bike. I think about
it, sep invent like a double winde, Like you can figure out college
good for nothing. College sucks, it's worthless, nothing more college, more
problems. Okay, yeah, everybody hops in the cryo tubes. She is,
in fact waiting on you. It's up to you if you want to
hop in. She like pats face. It's like great, she squeezes in.
You're really tight, like cheek to cheek. She looks very happy.
As the cryo comes down, she's like frozen in that like position I imagine
beleeps like yeah, you know, uh in this cryo tube? Uh and
uh quick quick quick question, yeah, blik are you still taking your clothes
off for this or are you actually keeping your clothes on? Now now that
now that there's another person in the tube, he keeps his clothes on.
Oh okay, yeah you can. He does a lot lamar to get the
wrong idea. This isn't the captain's quarters, you know, it is Sally.
Of course that comes over in sace cap did the crew is all in
cryopods. We are set for portal transportation. Great, not nervous, not
nervous at all. Okay, uh still three Uh, it is still a
three plus the one from so this four this time before and you know what
if because you're is your last stretch, I'll give you the plus two.
It was because of the boosters that you have, the mount the maneuvering ones,
because you're setting this up for autopilot to get you there. Basically,
instead of making a tiny jump, you're making in stinted jump, you're shot
putting yourself across this empty space. I will take that total plus six.
Yeah, as at six tye to it. Okay, let's see how it
goes critical success. How deep breath there and the Lady of Tears looked down
on all of you. Maybe it was the prayer that Lamara put out.
Maybe it's because your mission is just that important. But you hit the button,
you hop in your cryo tube. You watch that red blinking light.
Ten of them is what you get before the ship does its thing, and
since the calculations how you go under into cryo and what the crew doesn't get
to witness for the first time ever is a readjustment of the portal. Something
different happens. The kind of illumination balls that usually light the area rearrange themselves,
and as they do, and they lock into place with this new code
that has not been used here since before the portal wars, the kind of
black hole space in between opens back up. If you could see the panic
on board the portal station as people run around trying to figure out what's going
on and why the portal is malfunctioning. Captains across the starships see this blast
as a ship comes out from the side of the Order of the Parya.
The generals from either side begin yelling at one another for the illegal activity that
has taken place, and we see the Defiant jump super fast as it speeds
across empty black space and absolute silence, and as it reaches the portal,
it's sucked through and out to the other side. The Defiant makes it to
Kua, the system of Kua. As it comes out the other end of
a portal, I'm going to play another card because I got no I got
darknesspoons to spend. I got so many dark spoons to spend. I'm going
to play the malfunction card because that sounds like fun. That sounds opposite of
funds, like a lot of fun. I as, oh yo, how
evil do I want to be? Do I want to be? Okay?
I need evil evil. I'm about to assign you all a number. Malik
is one, I guess technically Malik and Lamara are one, tal is two,
Tamirs three, and Alia is four. Die. It had to be.
It had to be. It had to be. During the jump,
your cryopod malfunctions and opens up mid jump. As the cryo kind of comes
away, and you get that that feeling that you always get, that nauseous
feeling. The pod does not open to let you out, and steadied is
absolute deadening silence. You see Lamara kind of open her eyes and she smiles
at you, and then this look on her face crumbles as you both hear
it and see it passing through the void. You can hear the screams,
you can hear just the ripping and tearing of time and space. I'm going
to have both of you make a stress check. This is the first time
you've used the stress mechanic proper in this game anytime, or I'm sorry,
it's called the terror of terror. At the sight of something truly horrendous,
you may choose to have the pieces make a terror check. The pecs suffered
two points of stress until they pass an empathy test. Straight up empathy,
straight up empathy. Okay, Lamara may actually pass this, but Malik did,
Malik, you realize what has happened that you're in the middle of jump
and you see that Lamara is there's something wrong. It's like she hears and
see things. And she begins pulling at her face as her fingernails claw down
the sides and begin to draw blood. Her eyes and ears are beginning to
bleed, and she's crying along with it, and she reaches for you and
she grabs tightly on your cloak as the ship passes out of time and space
and into Kua, and all of that begins to go away, and she
passes out in your arms in this tiny space, her ears, her eyes,
her nose bleeding, she's clawed at her face and she seems, yeah,
she sees. And then of course and that moment the door, Yeah,
I think as soon as like her hands went to her face, Malik
would have like, there's not a lot of room, but he's malik,
he would have grabbed her wrists and like pulled her hands away, which means
they were on his face. Ah, that's cue. So she probably actually
begins to claw your hands like her fingernails and bed into your hands, so
instead you take that damage. She claws away at your skin, and you
can see she's not in her right mind in certain ways, like she wasn't
in her right mind in certain ways, seemed to be somewhere else or hearing
things that you couldn't quite put into place, but you did in fact pass
that yours and my definition of cute very is very drastically not and his face
is kind of cute. It tracks, it tracks, no, listen,
KP. The cute part was that Maleigue didn't want her to claw her own
face, so he sacrificed his dashing good books so that she wouldn't. She
has to continue to make an empathy check till she passes. Okay, that's
the success. So she only took two bits of damage to her mind that
there may be some other things more before it's over with. But as you
come the door like open, whatever malfunction is done, and her body goes
limp and I imagine you kind of catch her. Yeah, he has.
He has her like one arm and shoves the door open with the other arm
and is just reaching for like the like the terminal, and he's frantically typing
to unlock Alia's pod. Yeah, of course the next step is one by
one, the POD's open open, Alia tamr. When you come to and
the haziness of your senses dissipates, you see that Malik is cradling a pasted
album Maura, who is bleeding from her orifices, and you can see that
his hands are bleeding from what looked like claw marks in some way. How
your pod? Oh yeah, hey, hey, Alias, what what what
happened? Take a pill? Come here? I need help? Okay,
okay, okay. You see like Alia's stumbling, like she's still kind of
I feel drowsy from the drug and everything that you've been through. It's like
what and like her back hurts, like why is my back hurt? And
like bruises all over because she's probably been bumped around, and she's like,
ah, did we make what happened? Not the problem? Get over here,
please help. I don't think you've ever heard Whenleik say those two words.
Okay, yeah, please help, please end help Yeah uh so,
yeah, I assist. Where are we going? I don't know she woke
we woke up in He like looks at tamrr awkwardly in the portal. You
guys go to the midday. There's there's other tests I need to take care
of. To take her to the bed bay, hook her up to the
systems. Alia like literally just by herself lifts up. Yep. The two
of you head towards mid bay to put to put her under Tami or you
headed to touth uh te yeah, yep, you head up there. You
see towels already out of the pod, not a surprise. The captain's pot
opens first and tells, I'm guessingceeded ready to drive this ship. And as
she's already working on like getting her bearings and and already flipping stuff, and
oh good your you're and as the you know, when you're ready to manually
pilot something, the shields, the front shields open up, and as they
do, you see Coriolis and Coua, the monolith poking up just above the
cloud line. You can see it even from this far out, and a
body thuds across the windshield frozen as it kind of rolls across, and as
that both of you look out, you can see that the space between you
now and Coriolis is a minefield of people that have been shot out into space
amongst the riots and things that have been going on here. This is not
the Kua that you left. Oh. I feel like Alia may not have
seen any of this, so she's in the meta. The only person that
sees The only two people that see it are Towel and mirror. Okay,
cow just kind of sits there for a moment and takes that in. Yeah,
I feel like that both of them just kind of sit there and stare
probably like you know, you've got like the star shining against and just making
the silhouette of all these bodies, all these bodies just that more pronounced,
just floating there like debris. And as the both of you reached the med
bay Lamara always leaves the radio on because she loves the radio, and it
of course is on charity station. But instead of Malik's repeat, we hear
charity come on and she says the horizon this is charity. I hate to
say today I do not bring you good news. It has come to our
attention that the city of Algo has been bombed by unknown raiders. Casualties are
very high. It seems that they have been targeted for unknown reasons. Strange
ships came out of space shaped like butterflies. It seems that they have masked
or they have killed over fifty percent of the population of the city. It
currently stands in the imbers. If you have a loved one who lives on
Algol, now is a good time to reach out to them. Static over
the radio once more as the death card is played. The Sons of Algol,
specifically one has made two statements now against the Nazarene and they have retaliated
against the city of Algol. We will in this week's episode there as all
of you stare out the front window and have arrived back in Kua, staring
at home, sweet home. What a summer end going on? All right?
Cool? What's everybody good? All good? Yeah? Yeah, yeah,
yeah, We're all good. Void is an Unmade gaming production and a
