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're about to listen to, was originally a live stream
actual play on twitch dot tv slash Unmade Gaming. Arise millions and welcome to
Unmade Gaming where we were just talking about animal crossing and pooping. We are
aer for the final episode of season one of The Void, and I will
announce right now because it's the last episode of the season of Unmade Gaming.
If you want to see content like us talking about animal crossing and poop,
We're doing that next season. We're starting that, not just animal crossing and
poop, but I'm going to be recording our private conversation. So, Mike,
is that is that any podcast animal crossing? Everything's gonna call it ACP,
and I feel it is actually and podcast animals poop. I've never heard
a better podcast. Same no dogs dropping it like always why which is yes
from so we're from one. I gotta fix the bar were so we will
be doing captures of our before mote and our after calls definitely uh and putting
that on Patreon. So if you guys want to see what goes on behind
the scenes, check out our Patreon um. That being said, if you
want to discuss this game with us, please check out our discord links for
both those things down below. And as you can see we've already talked about,
they're in the bottom ranking a corner which we soon be fixed. There
is a corruption bar and that bar serves two purposes. One, when that
bar Phil dot can see what the hell she wants to us so far,
it's been terrible. And Two, every single dollar that goes into that bar
goes back to these wonderful, beautiful, amazing faces that you see here before
you. With that, I'm done shilling you. Don take us into space.
Well, last known hold, I wanted to be known that one of
the corruption bars gave Paul his flying Rumba. Fact. Yes it did.
It wasn't all bad, Mike. Sometimes I'm a kind, wonderful, fantastic
GM Mike. I mean, he was very hostile. He was really upset
about losing the ruma right before he looked into it. And you made him
look at a space demon. So I think after the space demon, I
don't know if you cared so much about the ruma position who might in fact
have been a demon? What does that matter anymore? Because you all released
it on Coreola. No, no, we all didn't release it on Coreolas.
One of us who makes bad choices. Hey, hey, listen here,
Mike. We're a team. That's right. If O goes unleash's a
demon, we all un leash deem it. Great. Then if one of
us hires the crazy doctor, then we all hired the crazy doctor. And
that's Oh, I forgot about the crazy doctor who actually let it on this
ship. You told me too, you're the captain. The only time I
listened to you, the only time I listen to you, you're like,
yeah, let this mysterious space baby into our ship. And I was like,
okay, sure, you've been like, no, this is not this
is just letting the kids. Fine, is it? Whose fault is it?
Next episode? This episode, legitimately next week is normally an off week,
but we're probably gonna come back and just this is the show. We're
just gonna yell at each other about and theory craft and Dot's gonna sit here
and just quietly shape us all fake notes. When they're yelling at one another
is when you kind out the most about their characters and what they care about,
so you can take it from them. Yeah, Dot, you re
GM. I'm just gonna be like, oh gosh, sip a muzzy all
right, I'll be simping on yoti um. Okay. So here we come
to the end um ultimate very quick season recap this group through a strange series
of events. We're all accepted or brought together to take on a mission go
from Coriolis, which is in the Coopist system, to investigate some strange activity
and a radio broadcast that was sent out from twin two systems over the first
jump landed them in Hamura, which is the in between system, to find
out that some things had gone down. The last few ships that had jumped
through did not make it. Instead, they exploded um and now have rained
a debris down on this place. After a couple of days in the space
station here in the Communist system and doing a little bit of research, what
they were able to find out is that it wasn't just that they the ships
could not get through the Consortian ships could not get through the portal to Talent.
More importantly, something else might have come through a ship from the First
Horizon, a place that has been long cut off from the third horizon after
the portal wars. This is dire information, but they could not not finish
their mission, so a dangerous jump they made to the Talent System in the
wake of the destruction of a massive freighter. What they found there was nothing
but darkness, no stars. A gin hopped to ride on their ship through
the portal. They don't really know whole lot about that. What they do
know is that they found no signs of life in the Talent System. What
was there or possibly alive as long since left, and those that stayed behind
found themselves rather corrupted by the darkness that has begin to seep into Talent.
They got out by the skin of their teeth and made it back to Coriolis.
Last episode, there's been some drama between the crew as to the purpose
of this mission, finding out small bits of information like who works for who
and what the real intent is in coming here. More importantly, some romance
has started to brew and it has left this crew divided a little bit.
But last episode, they were all put back on similar purpose. It seems
that their return with information that nobody else could seem to find, has sparked
some interest in a judge who has partnered you with another man. You know,
have a patron, somebody that's going to fund your endeavors, which is
good because in twenty four hours time, you'll be contacted about your next one.
You've been selected. They gave you a choice. You've been selected to
visit Kua planet's side to the jungles below the spire. But enough about that,
because last time, the four of you found yourself on the vessel arguing
about the fact that Malik has drug a familiar face on board, one that
was found in the psych ward of the Coriola's hospital. A nurse, a
surgeon, actually smart, but a little kookie. She believes that her and
Malik are destined to be together, and so Malik decides to invite her to
be the ship's medic, something they will definitely need on such a trip to
the jungles of Kua. But their conversation was interrupted by a thud, thud
thud, and a hud screen comes up to reveal that Suel's father is standing
outside of the defiant vessel part in the private docks in the upper floors of
Coriolis. He says nothing, but so will you see him? You know
it is him? Balls Um, you know who that is? Yeah?
Should I let him in? Uh? Is he knocking out the door?
He knocked once, like being to the little screen so you can see him
standing in it. And I want to think last episode he said something snarky
like sorry to interrupt or anybody home or something like that. Can he can
he see us? Or or do we only see him? How does this?
How does this contraction work? And they tapped we can only see him?
But should I answer? What do you want me to do? How
about you go talk to him? I don't really want to. Well,
fine, can we wait like maybe three more minutes? Maybe he'll just walk
away? No, two minutes you see him talking to the guards. There's
no audio, but you see him talking to the guards. I start opening.
I clicked the button open go on, I stepped forward and I opened.
I go towards the open door. Oh son, Yeah, if you
came back, I did you seem does does he seem surprised? We're all
on empathy? Or what is it for? This game. It is empathy,
isn't it? I believe it is. I know what game I'm playing?
Uh? Is it observed? Can I use observation? No, this
is how he's feeling. Damn it. This is empasy. Oh. Yes,
you know your father better than anyone, which is to saying something,
Which is saying something because he's not really one for emotions. He seems a
bit elated to see you, Yes, but more importantly, he seems he
does seem surprised. Maybe he didn't expect you to come back. Yeah,
that's what I figured. Um, yeah, I'm here. You know you
never cease to amaze me, sue the best of all three of my boys.
M okay, he says, scum, let us walk. I really
prefer I didn't. He leans in to take a look at all the other
three. Your crew, I'm well, not my crew, but I'm yeah.
I guess. He says, you hold the contract, don't you?
No, not anymore? It's over. Yeah, it's complete. So I
guess what that means you don't have a crew. Well, I know,
I'm talking about what we agreed on after this contract. He says, like
I said, let's take a walk. No fuck, all right, and
I'll start walking with him. He smiles at all three of you, doesn't
say anything, kind of tips his head in a cocky way and walks off.
He is a rather um. He has aged. Well, he's a
rather attractive older man. Um still a dick. Oh he wears you know,
um, kind of tight black space garb and a hood very similar to
the one that Steel wears. Okay, I'm sorry, Mike, you're muted.
I can tell it's sas though, because you got that look in your
eyebrow weird. I did have Sas I said, tight black garb, like
tight enough to be a space sex suit. No, this is definitely not
his at home space sex suit, remember him. This is this is more
like his work in suits. This is his business pants. Okay? Is
that is that good enough for you? Was tight? Um? Well,
on a scale of one to sex space suit, this is like a four?
Okay, so not very tight. No, it's less it's less tight
and more like tight. I hate you. I hate them. I want
to shoot them out into space. Okay. Anyways, as I was saying,
as he walks away, um, leaving the three of you standing there,
I just walk with him without looking. Yeah, they walk away,
and the camera pans back to the three of you standing there. I head
pops out of the door, and she goes, who is that? Don't
worry about it? I shut the door. Okay. We actually I do
think like as soon as as soon as tale like release is the touch pad
of the door really kind of like looks at the hospital like the med bay,
and then he like do do do do? And the door starts to
close. Yeah, and she she kind of goes with it, Um is
there? How do we is there? Like A I know the cockpit locks,
I'm not locking her in there? You guys, do do you think
that we should go follow Soul and make sure that like his dad doesn't murder
him, because that seems like like he could just not come back. It
seems like, um, we hit that donation bar just in time for Soul
to sit like daddy, it's like a it's like no one interrupted us when
we were having our familial thing, and like I feel it like it'd be
rude. I don't think his dad's gonna kill it, but like I wasn't
going to kill you and I you don't think that we should just you know,
make sure that he's okay. I mean, soul's like a he's like
a he's a murderer for like for hire. I think if any of us
are right, I think, if any of us are going to be a
king in the situation, you know, it might be. Yeah, But
but he's like also saved my life a couple of times. No, I
kind of right, all right, all right, I'll go that's not what
That's not what I'm saying at all. I think he said his dad was
also an assassin. Like, what are we gonna do? It's my question.
I mean, well, out of anybody, I have the best chance
of doing anything to even interfere with it. But I don't know exactly.
I mean, besides, get shot, Timmy is gonna start walking. I
will open up the door. Are we going somewhere? No, we'll need
you to stay here. I'm possibly prepared for trauma. Though she is already
wearing a surgical apron over top of her white scrubs and gloves. Now you
don't exactly know what she's been doing, but she is already suited for surgery.
She was all pretty, let me get my mask, and she comes
back out with like just a piece over her face. Oh no, no,
you're staying on the ship. You definitely stay here. Okay, but
what if they need me, We'll bring them back them to you. Yeah,
it's not a portable medbae, it's a stationary medbay. Okay, well
then I'm going to disinfect everything. Go for it. Okay, thank you?
Are you sure there's not like a lock on it? Like we can't
can we get We just got a bunet of okay, fine, can you
have it? Do you want to anything? You want to just punch the
guy? You want a gun? And he like wait, he like gesticulates
towards to me or who's running out in nothing? I have a knife and
he'll pull out his like tactical tool. It's just like a Swiss army knife.
We're gonna die. I turned to the lake and I'm like, I
we can't let him go alone. No, I'm aware, let's go all
right, this is your fault and he just shouts at the back of ta
mirror, off you go. Um, you are you trying to move a
stealth or you wanting like to just track them? Like, what is the
what is the game plan? Here? Are you trying to? This is
like some Scooby Doo stealthing, because this is not what Tamir does. Scooby
do steal things. So you're going to run from one door to another.
It's like kind of pear, you know, like, oh I saw this
happen in a movie. This is how they do it, right, all
right? When I catch up to him, Jamir, No, this is
the best way to draw attention to you. You have to act like you're
supposed to be there. You just walk roll infiltrations. Everybody could. I
could I roll for anything to see if I can notice observation. I have
no infiltration, great great, great great great great great observation? Can I
do agility and agility? If you roll observation agility automatically, yeah, I
don't have If you don't have import can you just roll a flat agility?
Yes, okay observation No I failed, yeah, no, yes, yes,
yes, okay. So you came a classter crew to you and your
father. I am just walking behind him, kind of like trying not to
look at him. He's a step up. I'm not going to bite.
That's not what I'm worried about. But okay, and I know I'll He
says, then, what are you worried about, oh you remember what you
did the hector. It's just you know, and then just kind of continue
like matching. Oh, yes, that situation was necessary, so kind of
grips his fist at the word situation. It was necessary. Sure, and
this is significantly different considering the fact that you were rather successful. Yeah,
I guess, uh, I guess it is the key difference. Your friends
are following us? What they're friends? I know they're They're not my friends.
They're just co workers. They are not even relative. Honestly, just
don't even like consider I know when you're lying, soul, They don't.
What do you want? Why are we? Why are we walking? He
says, well, I'm taking you to one of my favorite places, a
celebration for a job well done. I don't want to celebrate with you.
He says. You came with me too, do you? I you usually
when you tell me stuff, it's not really a choice. He simply smiles.
Just just for an elevator. Come, we're almost there, fucking okay,
and I'll just I'll just walk and in he goes. The three of
you watch the elevator. They get on an elevator and they go up about
ten or twelve floors you see. Um it stops. Um, yeah,
I have a question dot the question. Um, when I'm going up the
elevator, can I look down and try to see them? Oh? Yeah,
you'll see. You can see them. They're They're definitely not stealthy.
Yeah. Um. Do I make eye contact with any of them? Uh?
Sure? Pick one person? Malik Sul makes eye contact with the us
he gets on the elevator. Can I give him the finger? Your father
laughs, I see you have cried over poor with these. You can tell
he's judging them very heavily. So they're not they They did a good job
with the mission, he says, I see that. The fact that you
all return to, well, that's an anomaly. What do you mean,
whatever? Where are we going? Um? The elevator pings, You get
off, you step into what is clearly some kind of entertainment district. The
bustle and sound of people hit you as there is like a nightclub over here.
These open, very fancy open cantinas and bars. And he points down
a little ways to a bar a club. Really it's called the black Hole.
Sorry, don't be your father says, I love this place. Best
dancers in the galaxy. Come on, and he grabs you by the shirt
and drag it begins dragging you in. You're not too far from now.
As you get to the door, a very large bouncer looks at your dad,
looks say you. He says, you know, we can only let
him one of you. I'm completely fine with that. I am so sorry
I could go. But your father reaches in his like thing, pulls out
a very special coin to the way it can be described round in circular,
simply passes it off. He's like, consider it a favor. The bouncer
takes it, knowing something that you don't, and he pockets it, huh
and let you both in. You pot past the line of people that oh
oh, screaming women that wanted to get in the door clearly spent hours getting
fancied up. But both of you get in and turn the club. I
will I would pull up my hood a little bit further and kind of like
hover like push it further up so that I try to cover it up my
eyes and my face. Okay, you try to hide yourself. He's his
son. You don't have to hide yourself here. And as he gestures you
realize this whole place. It's like a neon dance club. And I don't
mean, um, there's some dancing, like the general public stations are dancing.
But there are women, you know, not even women. There are
beautiful people everywhere. Um. They're up on stages moving and um. And
he says, this is of course a treat and a delight. And he
kind of look. He says, most people never even get in this place.
I'm very proud, you know. I'm not for these kind of scenes
for them, he say, seems like this m made because of us.
He says, come on, I'll show you my favorite booth by a dance.
Do you want to dance? No, I don't want to dance.
I just he gestures over there's a corner booth he's and he says, come
on before somebody takes it. I think fucking balls all right, and then
I will just follow when you do. Yeah, is this gonna take long?
Like? He says, would you relax? Always so serious, soul,
considering the fact that you were supposed to die out in space, you
think you's a little bit what I mean is supposed to die? Well,
you're pretty blunt about that. Oh you didn't write, never putting two and
two together soul. The mission was an experiment. The likelihood of your survival
was one in ten. No, I get that. I get that you
sent me to die. Thanks, I'm not curious to like, why are
you telling me this? Oh? Because I am proud to say that my
son is the one in ten. You let a group of rag tag undertrained
to to visit a dead sister, and he came all the way back.
And I've heard you bought your own way out of the syndicate. I did.
He says that you don't need me anymore. I never did. Wonderful.
It's good. We're actually here meeting some friends. Oh okay, why
they'll be here soon. I probably should. I heard that you had one
of my suits. Yeah, it's in the ship. I'd like that back.
It's very expensive. Yeah, sure I can. I can go get
it for you right now. I'll be back before you know it. You
can even practice using it here. Why are you so nervous? I just
I don't want to be here. Isn't it pretty obvious? He kind of
thinks that over you don't want to celebrate your successes. I'm My celebration is
for us to never interact again. You give me that, and I'm a
happy person. Okay, fine, we don't have to interact. A kid
off in the distance he waves a hand to gesture to somebody. Who's that?
Who are you? Who are you calling over? You? Turn around
your keen senses and I pick up on it immediately. A tall Finn dancer
began strolling across the club as if she owns the place. In fact,
she mayn't be stepping off the stage her self. I'm must if I look
at her? Is it? Is it? The dancer? Okay? Okay?
And then so I was just gonna look at it be like, oh
fuck, And I turned back to my dad. Well, if you don't
want to be here, I can't keep you, and I will sure that
I am not around anymore. You like his eyes a little bit, and
then sits down, kind of surrendering, surrenderingly. See how was that so
hard? Enjoy a drink and he got a snaps at a waitress. Um,
and the beautiful dancer once again joins. She slides into the booth.
Your father's arm is already on the back of it, and she slips in
as if that is where she belongs. Well, look look at you.
I thought you were back in where we just were that I can't even remember.
Yes, she smiles, and she says, the Hammurabbie station. It
did not suit me too well. He left pretty quickly. People were being
attacked. I was told, Yeah, a nurse almost died. How did
you Was that public knowledge? It was pretty well public that somebody attacked her.
I mean even after you left the next day they had to ship her
off to Coriolis for surgical reason. So yeah, it was pretty unfortunate.
She was an innocent bystander. It's almost like she didn't need to get hurt.
Well, sometimes you just find yourself in the wrong place, at the
wrong time, carrying the wrong things. I guess that is somewhat true.
She smiles. She looks at your father all die. I'd roll in empathy.
I don't know that she'll be able to figure the self. It's going
to basically assume that his leverage over his dad is no not useful anymore,
since she's here and they seem pretty all buddy buddy, So fuck that and
I failed. Great. It's regardless. You may not know what she's up
to, but regardless, she is seducing your father hardcore. Does she mean
it you don't know, and he brushes some hair back. She doesn't have
much of it. She keeps it kind of a very short kind of cut
around her face, and of course a big headpiece that she wears. But
he brushes it, and he says, ah semina, and he was,
I mean a mirror. She smiles a little bit and Breethe is realizing that
he lets something go that he should not have. How do you two know
each other? She looks at your father like, who's going to answer?
He gestures for her. She's way better with words than he is. She
says, he was a regular here for a long time. Oh okay,
she says, and I was, so you say their best answer? Gotcha
right? But yeah, your father's also in good business, and his business
and my business. They just worked really well together. And what business is
that she's a mine or his? Because I think you know what your father
does. Yeah, I'm yours yours obviously, yeah yours, Yes, yours.
She smiles. She says, what do you think it is, suel,
Well, it's definitely not dancing the sun. She looks at your father.
Isn't he a bright one? He kind of cringes at the concept of
anything bright. She says, So it's not a dancer, then maybe I
don't know transportation. No, sure, I transport goods that are procured from
other vessels. I look at my dad. Do you know of her career
choice? He says, of course I do. She's been beneficial in the
past. I'm a little confused here. So you know what she does?
Do you know all of what she does? He says. If I knew
everything that she did, our arrangement would be a little different. I trust
that she does what is best for her. She smiles, and she says,
I too. Have you put it all together yet? Soon? Oh?
Yeah, I think I pretty much got the picture here. You guys
are perfect for each other. She kind of laughs. Your father laughs,
what a quaint way of putting it. Is this a friend you are talking
about that we were waiting for? Yes, he says, you can go
now, sul you're spoiling the mood, right. I look at the table.
How many drinks are there? Drinks? Or there are three drinks on
the table. I pick up one of the drinks and I kind of hold
it up to there and just go well, and for the like soul,
we'll kind of like smile a little bit kind of creepily and just be like
best wishes to do both of you, and then he'll just take the shot
and just put it down by soul. Your father says, I don't answer,
and I just kind of get up and start walking just any I don't
even know what the eggs it is. I just want to leave the booth.
So I'm just gonna like start walking around trying to, like you start
trying to like get out. You're like moving past people. This place smells
of sweat and endorphins. People are dancing, their costumes are this is place
is actually lit completely in black lights, so their teeth, their eyes,
anything on their clothing that has any kind of florescent too. It is just
glowing whole things over in blue basically black light, blue light. And as
you try to skidaddle your way out, a very large hand grasped your shoulder.
Oh fuck, what nap When they turned around, it is a face
that you thought you weren't going to see again. Maybe you've completely forgotten about,
but so you made a deal. I did. And when you make
deals you have to uphold them right. And the big tattoo artists from the
very first episode seems to also frequent this place. If you remember correctly,
your father called him by name, so maybe they have some kind of arrangement.
But your father, seeing this from the booth, does not get up
to help you this time. You said you did not want his help and
you did not want to see him again, and so, being a good
father, he will honor your wishes. The girl faces. Now you're one
I never thought i'd see again. Oh shit, it's you. I want
to think we had a deal, you know, I thought about it.
It was a good deal. But he snaps his fingers, which is actually
hard to hear over the music in this place. But he snaps his fingers
nonetheless, and a crew of dudes begin to slide in circling you on the
dance floor. He has his hand tightly gripped on your shoulders, and he
says, no need to go anywhere too quickly. I believe that I owe
you something. No, no, you don't really you need to give him
anything. I'm okay, told me, can I if I look around,
it's a very crowded place, right, it is very crowded. Is it
tightly? Like tight knit? This is kind of the middle of the day,
So it's not as packed as it may say be tonight. But then
again, who who watches time and space? People come and go as they
please, eat, sleep, party when they want to, So I'd say
it's relatively crowded, but it's not like pack packed like shoulders shoulder. Okay.
So for a moment, Soul kind of like reaches for his dagger,
but then kind of has like a immediate flashback of everything that's like happening with
a sponsor, the new possibilities, and he puts his hand away. There's
a lot of civilians in this area, yeah, and he can't risk any
of that. So he's gonna look at the guy, look over to his
dad, realize he's in the rough position, and just be like, all
right, let's let's get this over with payment in flesh. And he claps
you on the back of the neck and begins pushing you off the dance floor.
The three larger men follow, and the camera cuts going back a little
bit in time to the three of you. Do you get on the elevator
and follow him? Yes, Tamir, he flipped us off, so maybe
he does. Does that say help me? Because to me, that says
fuck you. No. It says to me that he's just trying to get
us off of his case because he doesn't want to see us get hurt,
which means he knows he's about to go get hurt either. Oh, Jamir
pushes the elevator. Playing is one of those situations where there's only one thing
on that floor. Um, it's not just one thing on the floor.
It's like a district, an entertainment district on this floor. Okay, all
right, let's go see if we can follow where it is. Uh,
yeah, I think, tam Or we'll see the I mean, Malik,
we'll see the floor that to me or selected yes, and then well and
you would see it had matched where they got off. And he'll point out
and go, do you know where he went on this plaza? But we
don't go find him. That's a we can try. It's a whole plaza.
Are you gonna go door to door? The elevator goes up. Dude,
what's the plan here? But I don't know. We'll think of it
as we go. There's that deaf and sound of clubs all in a row.
Malik shoots a look to to tell definitely on this, like get ready
for this roller coaster. Um, all three of you as the doors open
can roll an observation. Actually, I probably would have visited this flower once
before. Wow, there are all kinds of places here, not all of
them are the same. Fuck me great, And he's going to be dude,
super double. Seeing your friend enter a club with his dad's not total
bullshit. Oh they're friends. You see you see um Soul and his father.
His father's still classing by the back of the neck. That kind of
it feels ikey, kind of grasped, as if he's maybe forcing uh Sul
into this place. And you see they enter a club. Um kind of
like the next walker like strip up called the black Hole. Perfect. So
Malik sees this and he grins, and he goes to mirror and he points
to the doors like the backside of of Sewell and his father walking in,
and the doors kind of closing to draw to Mer's attention to it, And
then the moment to mirror takes a single step forward. He like grabs tale
for a second and leans in and says, how much money did you get?
This could be really funny. I don't what is that place? Um,
let's call it a dance club. But it's very expensive to get in,
so like we're gonna have to bribe our way in. I don't think
I have that much money. Yeah, well he's not gonna get in,
and he points to tame or walking away. But also I'm pretty sure,
and he like sizes to meuroupe for a second. He's also never been in
one, and that could be well worth the trip. I look at you
dead pan for a moment. There you've just been embroiled in brother on brother
hijinks, and then I walk off after Malik. You see that the bouncer
that's standing there like checking people and has a data pad that he's checking names
on. Oh perfect, um, oh god, I'm gonna, I'm gonna.
I'm gonna, you know what, let's you know, balls to the
wall. Why not let me give myself superdet more roles just fail? Yeah
yeah yeah, limited success? All right? Can I at least get Tamir's
name on the list? Sure? Just his name? Sure, I would
say, with the limited success, you managed to get Tamir's name on it
before Tamir makes it there. You think there's a very long line. Large
man at the front is checking people one by one. So far, maybe
the club is full. He's not letting anybody in. Perfect um Tamator is
going to a quick look at the line and skip it. Walk strikes up
to the man who seems to be in charge and pull off his schumach a
bit and hold out tools. My name is Engineteamir. I'm here to repair
the waste removal system. There seems to have been a problem. I was
some waste removal. He says, I don't have any note about waste removal,
and he kind of rolls through. Do you have a name? Yes,
oh, I have that name. Oh I get it, waste removal.
Get inside to me. He didn't like your in the window. What
he says, I have you here as a guest on the list VIP.
In fact, why do you call it waste removal? It's kind of gross.
I want to find a better in the window for your business man.
This is my best day ever, fink you? Thank you? Just gonna
walk in to mirror. You walk in, maybe you don't know what to
expect. Have you ever been to a love like this? The moment the
door opens and hesitantly walks in, I think tal who's following him? Just
here coming from back where she left him, and the link has doubled over
a cry Um. Okay, oh my gosh. So through a straighter series
of misunderstandings, a miscommunication, Tamir has made it. In the club,
tam Or, your eyes go wide as everything in this place is lit and
black light. Beautiful. People were very little clothing and grind all over each
other. There are incredible dancers on these kind of levitating stages above everybody's head.
They undulate and move. You've probably only ever seen one dancer do this,
and now there are lots of them. In fact, you're not in
the door, but just a couple of seconds before, very attractive human steps
up to you, rather androgynous, but they lean in and they run a
finger down your cheek and they simply say, you look lonely. I'm not
lonely at all. I'm here visiting a friend. Well, if you want
to get your friend, I'll be your friend. Oh um, I don't
thank you. I'm here on business, so me too. She boots you
on the nose and walks away. There's a lot of pushing touching, because
is a lot of touching, And do you just me in a fucking club
you can roll an observation now that you're in here to see if you can
see Soul and his father, okay in Tamir is like making this observation,
kind of like doing like this, like just yeah, you're trying not to
kind to be respectful people. There's no such thing as respect in the black
Hole. I oh, my god, God, I don't know darkness will
consume right now, but I feel like you and Mike switched roles. I
don't know what's going on. This is my literal best day ever, and
I'm quoting that there's no such thing as a respect in black hole. I
love you so much. You're probably my favorite person ever. So you fail
that observation. You look around, trying to avoid making eye contact with any
of the very scantily clad humans in this bar makes it difficult. And at
the moment you don't currently see Soul or his father, Great Soul to me,
she's gonna start kind of calling out his name. The club music thumps
um as the lights kind of shift and change. The black lighting is very
weird, as people's teeth and eyes making them look like demons in the dark.
And as you wander about, what your eye does catch is the figure
of a woman that you've seen before, the one from the Hammurabi station.
She is crossing the bar over towards a booth that's kind of behind like half
curtain. She slips in as if she owns the place. She looks great.
You realize that the beautiful tattoos that she had kind of on her face
that pan into her headpiece that she wears, are actually uv and they glow
in the dark. She disappears behind the half curtain. Does Tamir no that
she's not great? Tamir knows that Seul has a distaste. I don't know
how much time you spent around her, other than a few secrets at the
end before like everything went down with them with the doctor M yeah, I
don't think he does. But hey, familiar face. Great. He will
pursue you kind of try to make your way across or trying not to touch
people, to no avail as you cut across the club roll and another observation
as you get close again, it's loud and here another failure. You can't
hear what's happening in the boots. You take to a table just nearby,
trying to listen in, but you can't hear anything. A few minutes pass,
a woman tries to serve you a drink if you'd like one, I
thank you, and eventually you're a couple of tables down. You see Suel
leave abruptly and try to find a new way out, maybe not even crossing
back past you, maybe down to the dance floor itself, and he's trying
to cut through people. You see it happening, and then a large figure
classroom on the shoulder. There's a couple of seconds of interaction. Again,
unable to read the lips or what's happening. This large person, Seul and
three additional lackeys follow them off the dance floor, and you're kind of what
might be considered a VIP room or a back room near the front of the
stage. Great soul the meter is getting to get up from the booth that
he had taken a woman to sit in and get to that area as quick
as possible. If they don't make it into the into the booth, I
think I'd like to tackle the dude you want to try to tack Okay,
so first let's make the decks to cut through the club. Violence on Coriolis
is a thing, and there are a lot of repercussions for violence on Coriolis.
Yeah, and you do know right now it is a hostile environment and
security is thick. Though there doesn't seem to be a lot of security in
the bar, at least some marks security and query, yes, do I
see do I can I make a role? Let's see if I see demand?
No? No, you are very much unaware of all of this.
Um, I'm gonna just nope. Great, you're bumping into people and you're
trying to get to them. You might even try to like push past to
make a tackle. You land face down on the ground. A few women's
scream as you like step back, but they disappear with soul into a back
him that's his backstage. Great, damn it. Uh, Tamir is gonna
go ahead and get back up. Um, he's going to activate his combs
and try to get hold of Tall and Um, not a problem. You
come in, all the two of you here is just like as Tamere taps
into the shared combs, are they able to hear him at all? Yes,
and you can just hear it like in the background. Is that like
humming in the background of the But yes, you can. You guys I
think, so this is seriously in trouble. You need to get in here
now. There's he's being escorted the way by a giant man with tattoos and
at least two or three other other men. Oh yeah, that guy's gonna
that guy. That guy's bad news and we can't get in the door.
You're not we're not the VIP list. The guy has already told me no,
like several times. If I continue asking, he's probably going to have
me arrested. Okay, I think that guy mentioned I met that guy before
he wanted Suel to kill someone or he was gonna give Sula tattoo, So
I think win win. Oh, there you go. He's probably just getting
his tattoo. Yeah, is that too like a new slang thing for you
know? I don't don't, I don't know. The guy who offered the
tattoo was also heavily tattooed, and everyone that was with him was also heavily
tattooed. Also, Suel bullied as kid. I think, I mean,
it doesn't sound completely out of character. And if everybody's tattooed, then um,
you know, maybe it's just a thing. It could be like a
family thing. We should just just come out. I don't think I can
get out. There's a lot of doors now, not one of them is
labeled eggsit. I'm just curious, what's a what's it like in there?
It's very loud and this is very weird. You hear somebody say, hey,
cutie, who's that? Um? Hey? Is she pretty? Excuse
me? Leak? Shut up? Do I hear this on my colmbs?
Oh god, please would come through your combs in your ears? I didn't
know a little thing. As I'm being pushed away, Saul's face is an
other confusion, and he's just like, as you're walking, you're listening to
this the three bouns or these three large men. Uh, and the gentleman
with his hand on your shoulder, don't stop walking. They walk you into
a back hallway. Um, that looks to go like backstage. There are
a couple of small rooms. And he says, I'm the best in what
I do and nobody wants tattoos like artist. And he stops at a door,
knocks a couple of times. Somebody creaks it open, and he lets
you into a back room. It smells of burnt flesh and ink. There
is a woman laid out on the table, face kind of face down.
She's getting something put into her shoulder. You watch as they take something that's
kind of like imbering and hot and they dip it into something. It smolders.
He checks it, and then he brands her, leaving um some kind
of mark em branded on her shoulder. If I look at that, does
it look familiar to me? You've probably seen them before, though these are
This is one of many tattoos that can be found upon coriolis. This is
a charcoal burned tattoo. It's like a brand but instead they put charcoal on
the end of the branding, adding like coloring to it as the scar heels
with seeing that conversation with his dad and then having this entire conversation in his
ear. Soul's getting very agitated and like really short fused. So uh huh,
and he says, come on in. He says, I've got a
whole book of designs for you to look through. I have a feet or
whatever here called intimidating. Okay, I would like to try and intimidate this
guy into a parlay so that we can read reading the group. What do
you say to intimidate him? I look at the tattoo, and at this
point, I pull my hood down and I kind of lower my things a
little bit, and you can see, and I show that there are multiple
scars and cuts that were up that look, and there's branding and all that
that's probably already applied by his father. And he shows it off and says,
my real estate's pretty packed, and he pulls it back up loves.
He says, oh, I didn't plan that for you. I've got something
really special in mind. All right, listen, listen. I've had a
very long couple fucking days, and I understand that our deal did not go
through. However, I might have a better offer counter offer, if you're
willing to hear me out. That sounds more like persuasion than intimidation, you,
Dick Great, roll up an intimidation I'll do for Christina. Okay.
I don't think souls like the intimidating type, to be honest, Okay,
okay, okay, Well, so here's what I'm gonna do then, Um,
because how about this, I look unstable as fuck. Okay, okay,
um, I'm twitching my eyes twitching. You seem a little unhinged.
Sure, this is a command role, a command role, So with am
I allowed to use my intimidating thing or no? Yes, I believe it
adds a dice, one more extra die. So they'll be like, when
you to test force instead of manipulation. Oh interesting, Okay, there you
go. There's threatening someone. Damn it. Yep, when you're threatening someone,
so you can say you jake and push him against the wall, but
it is a force roll so you got to like intimidate him. Okay,
So yeah, I think at this point he just okay, I'll push him
and I'll be like, I'm sick and tired of all these back and forths,
and I you're gonna listen to me or else I will carterize your eyes
out. Okay, roll a force. He's gonna go against you. Let's
start with that, all right, come on, come on, fuck,
I'm gonna re roll. Great, I'll take another darkness point. These are
just gonna I got so many to go through tonight. Everybody look at this
success and it says, if I get a limited success, I have the
option to not accept your opponent's conditional demands. Okay, the opponent made and
refused to deal. Wait, oh, if she intends to attacks you,
then yes, if they intend to attack you. Um, okay, um,
this is gonna be Um. I'm gonna go against his force, which
is not easy. Just I just really want you to know that, right.
Um yeah, Okay, he does not succeed on any of them.
Okay, you're lucky. Actually, No, I'm gonna spin a dark hose
point. You got eight hundred of the I'm gonna spend a darkness point.
I believe I get to reroll. Is that what I can do? Three
roll that? Oh? Yes, I got I got a success. So
you ram him against the wall. His three dudes like bulk up instantly as
you slam him against the wall. Some of these tools and things go shuddering
about as you smash him, and he begins laughing under your force and your
pressure, he grabs you back. The two of you are now in this
kind of grappled hole, pressed against the wall. You're basket let energies banging
against one another. He leans in and he says, all right, He
says, how about this, I'll get one't with you together? Huh?
He says, you're not walking out of here until you pay one or the
other. And the last time I check to you and your friends made a
deal with the man you were supposed to kill, so you have a choice.
We get a tattoo. Oh you die, and I'll brand your body
before we dump it out into space. His adrenaline starts to kind of like
go down. He's like, fuck fine, and there's one condition. The
deal is with me and not the crew. Of course, I would never
put it on my crew. These three men are like behind him. I
like, I'm like fine, fine. He's like, come on, I
got something special for you. All right, it's gonna love this. And
he says, have a seat, and he kind of thumps you, and
you kind of plot back into a chair. He sits next to you and
he snaps. Two women walk over. They are twins, identical, head
shaved. You can tell where their hair once grew it no longer does.
They've been tattooed across their scalp, down their neck, and onto their shoulders.
Their body is tattooed all over. And he says, so tell me,
soul, what do you like not to get a tattoo? That's not
an option. Answer the question. You got something pretty face? He thinks
for a minute, I like drones. He kind of looks at. He
goes, drones. Well, then you're gonna love this, because, well
you'll find out. The twins pop gloves onto their hands. The sound may
even make you jump a little as they pull out a special what a special
like machine in their hand. Kind of looks like some kind of gun,
like a regular tattoo gun. But it's what it's feeding too that seems most
interesting to you. A jar with this kind of glowing blue ethereal liquid in
it. Whoa, whoa, whoa. That doesn't look like regular ink.
He goes, I told you I had something special for you. Well,
I courtesy at least tell me what that is. He says, that is
nano bites. I'm pretty sure I'm allerged to that. He goes. It's
funny. You're not nobody actually is. He says, don't worry. They
make for the best tattoos. And more importantly, well you'll find out.
And the woman comes over and she says, dud, where do you want
it? Come on? Nowhere? Nowhere? He's joking, he's joking.
She goes, I can't tattoo nowhere. I look at I look at the
tattooed guy. Do I get the pick? He goes, what, I'm
not a bad guy, okay, Um consent, and it's all kind of
like, oh okay, a little confused. Um, I don't know it
doesn't I guess that it doesn't need to be in your specific or nope,
Okay, you get to choose. He's like, you know what, here's
like use this one. And I roll up my sleeve and his exposed my
entire right arm. Okay, which is his fighting arm. So great,
you expose your entire right arm. Maybe a place without a scar. And
she goes, you're gonna like this one. She's like, do you believe
in? She's like, do you have a patron or a She kind of
leans in a little closer. You know, I like you a religious man.
I like leaning forward. And they go like, and I just like
whispered judge, and I like lean back. She smiles and she says perfect,
and he looks at her. She looks at him. The other twin
I'm something into a hood deck us nearby. It's connected to this jar.
It pipes in something scan runs the blue kind of throbs and undulates in this
container. And she goes, okay, ready, she turns it on and
the camera cuts it's a mirror. Quickly tamor what do you do ta mirror?
If seeing that he just is not having any look at this place.
He is probably backed up to a panel and is trying to mechanically short circuit
to get a fire alarm set off. Okay, he wants to empty this
club. Okay, you go over to the side trying to find a panel,
probably near the stage. You if you don't want to be seen doing
this, you will need to roll for it. If not, and you
don't care, then you need to. Yeah, then you can just roll
the tech because you're gonna do this as a tech a technology, right,
yeah, not as a data gin. You're not trying to hack in.
No, Yeah, this is a mechanical like literally just like clip clip of
wire shifted over, activate the alarm. Cool, all right, let's get
in technology role. Nicely done. You pop the panel, You kind of
jimmy around, try not to be seen. You know exactly what to pull,
and it pull it and it snaps. The camera comes back. Soul.
You feel this needle ripping through your skin. This is no normal tattoo.
It feeds in nanobytes that grab onto your tissue and your skin. You
can feel it. You might even scream out in pain. The man may
even cover your mouth to keep you quiet as she draws the symbol of the
judge. I think the soul, I mean souls used to pain, but
definitely this would be a different type of pain. Yeah, And he would
be kind of thrashing around and then like he holds you in place as much
as possible. And she's almost done. You think you might pass out when
the sounds of an alarm starts going off. Oh bo sprinkler systems and began
raining on the club. Your people outside scream. The music jerks as people
begin trying to exit the space. A fire alarm seems to be going off.
The man said we wait or didn't even get by. He was very
upset. But she is pretty much done. The symbol of the judge cards
carved into your arm. You could feel the nanobyites moving through your skin in
this area isolated to the scarring that is here. It glows under the UV
light very clearly. You've received your punishment from the judge for not completing your
mission. And I have played the judge card that I had for you.
Oh shit, oh okay, okay, And is it like oh, it's
bleeding down your arm. It's now it's like glowing. It's like it's basically
like they took one of those glow sticks, broke it open and just like
drew it onto yourself. And the other guy's like leaving him. He's like,
I don't know what do we do. Somebody comes back and goes,
we have to evacuate, to evacuate his face. If you don't get your
fucking cat too, I will give you one with my damn knife, I
swear to god. Um. The woman goes, okay, okay, um.
The guys will take it easy, take it easy, and he begins
to car She begins to carve into him. She does not carve the judge
into him. Instead, she carves a massive circle and when it's done,
it glows and embers like yours. And he says, congratulations, soul.
Yeah, how a delivery boy. The nano bites in your arms carry information?
What when you get to cool, somebody will contact you? Whoa And
he goes, I have the rest of the information. If they want it,
they can come visit me here and he claps shot in the back and
he goes, good, you didn't even scream, like a girl. Now
run he as I said, run all right? Oh damn, like walk
back with Yeah, you're kind of like holding your Look, what the hell
is he talking about? What the fuck do you that? Yeah, a
little traumatizing. As you exit, you see Tamir by the door. He's
got his hand in a wall. He's jimmied something. The sprinkler systems are
pouring on everyone. Everybody's wet. There's about an inch of water on the
floor, Malie, can tao? You hear an alarm go off and people
begin rushing out of the club. It becomes pandemonium on the outside of it.
I run up to Tamir like, I'm I'm gonna know that he was
here because I heard it all, and I'm just gonna grab him and like
pull him off and started dragging him out. Are you okay? And then
I started dragging him out of the club. I'm like, the fuck do
you think the middle finger means? Do you think it means come get me,
dumb ass? And then I run and walk out and I just shove
him out and off you go. The two of you pop out, how
Malik you see them? M Sewel's holding his arm for some reason. And
in the other hands, he's dragging Tamir with him, who looks a bit
show shocked as well. And I'm going to toss some towards in front of
tal and Malik and I was like, the fuck, but we couldn't stop
him. Why did you let him go in there alone? You're gonna get
one person in. I thought he was your brother, and I thought you
cared for him. I couldn't stop him. What do you I'm like,
Tamir's not a fucking kid, you guys, Let I just turn around and
start walking back to my ship, Like, fuck, this not grasping the
gravity of the moment at all. Malik goes yeah, but like as soon
as she walks away, because yeah, but he's never been in one of
those kind of clubs before. So like, I like shaking my head and
just start walking towards Why is no one fighting this as funny as I am.
As you begin walking, where are you headed? I'm walking back towards
the ship. Towards the ship. You guys are heading back to the ship.
I'm assuming that's where and everyone like that's where, That's where I'm going.
Great, okay, so back to the ship. Pandemonium you guys,
watch us guards run past you. There's a bit of a wait for the
elevator. You could take the stairs. I'm fours down. I'm dead quite
the whole way doesn't say anything. I want to keep moving, so I'll
take the stairs. Great, you all begin taking the stairs down. You're
huffing it. And as you reach the level where your ship is docked,
there's a familiar face outside your vessel, A cheery little man to me or
you don't know this man, Malik, You don't know this man, but
Sewel and Taw you our patron stands before you. He's holding a box.
Oh, he smiles. Hello. Falls in trouble. I lean over to
Malik and Tam. This is the guy that's Patreona help us. He's our
sponsor, dude, he's our patriots. Painful Nano. I don't want to
hear it speaking of You can support this channel by going to patriot speaking of
our pat links in chen. See. It was all on purpose. Just
don balope. Oh. Walking up to him, I say, Hi,
what's in the box? Something for all of you? Come with me?
Come on hi, Great, okay, I just pushed milk piste off.
I will I will walk straight past, and he goes, oh, how
round of me? I haven't even introduced myself. Um. He says,
I'm to see your your new pagriend. Oh that's the guy who were here
to kill little squat man. Um. He goes, yes, that was
the plan. But soon well here and he kind of claps you on the
arm where your new tattoo is. Um, and he says, but soul
here saved my life. Did you see? I like, yeah, really
right now? He goes, wait what As you walk, he leads you
to his place, um, the one that you have the two of you
have visited, but Malik to me or you've never been here before. And
as he opens the door to me or you go through some kind of waiting
room and then through another lock door, everyone dripping wet, dripping wet,
um, and you enter his private collection of artifacts. Incredible place, um
for you specifically to me or this place is amazing. Oh, I should
probably stop playing the club music. Now we're not at the club no more.
I have I have that tap muted. I didn't even know we had
music. Yeah, I had club music playing in the background. Maybe maybe
he just likes club music. You never know. I think I might also
have. Yeah, I was playing. I was playing cyberpunk club music.
And I mean none of you were there to enjoy him. That's fine.
It was for me. It's fine. Um, it's fine. What is
it for you? It's for me. It's just me being agitated. He's
gonna be like, all right, what what? What's what? Dot?
Could I could I have a paint? Paint this picture with your words?
Here? This guy sounds loaded. Oh he's super loaded. This place speak
and span, there's not there's not anything out of place. And the items
in this room, yeah, are what you might call rare artifacts. Interesting.
I'm standing here dripping blood by the way, on the flood, blood
on this white sterile floor, water on this floor. And um, and
he says, now I introduced myself and the two of you, oh me,
well he has you're the new faces. Oh yeah, I'm Malik,
Jamir, Malik and Tamir. He says, oh, this is for you.
When he hands a box over, he puts it into me your hands.
I don't want that. What is it? Is it? Like?
It's a box based it is not. You have to like pull a lit
off, Okay, I have to open um. He is careful, careful.
That is not any ordinary item. What is it? Well, he
says, open the box to find out. Don't you know how presents work,
Malik, I'll open the box looking into confusion. Usually that applies that
we like, well somebody not particularly, He says, like I told your
friends yesterday, you owe me nothing except the artifacts you find on your travels.
So we're just gonna shoot a look over to Tall. I'm want to
look at them. Tall was the deal that was made? I'm like,
and I know twel to open the box. I already have. I opened
the box on the box open um as maybe tame Or and Tao make eye
contact. Inside is an a vase and urn, It's got a lit He
is very fragile. This is what what what? What is it? Does
it? Uh? Somebody special? No? Does it quite work that way?
Um? You can roll a culture, Malik. You could or tame
or you could roll your mystic powers for this one, specifically because you are
an artificer. Can I roll for Yeah, you guys can all roll.
But it's a culture role to know what it is. I don't have culture.
Can I just do it? Empathy? Empathy? Ye think? I
keep fucking feeling these fucking mystic girls take a goddamn looks like my darkness points
are going to travel over to second makend season. How does Chad feel about
that? Feeling good about that? I feeling good because I'm sitting on eleven
of them. Um and empathy. This is there is when the box open
soul your instincts, because that's really all that you have. You're an instincts
base tell you that something is Yeah, something's not right about this, not
in a bad way, but it's definitely powerful. It's not just your basic
average like decorative base. I'll just take a step back after. It's a
mirror you. On the other hand, this has great power to it.
You could feel it automatically. Um. He notices that you notice. He
says, amazing, isn't it? It calls to you to mirror it,
rings out in your ears. This has great mystic power behind it. Not
like everything else in here either. Most of everything in here is technology base.
This is this is no tech. This is low tech. If you
would m h what what is it? He says, that is a very
special item. I paid a lot of money to bring it from the opposite
side of the third Horizon Pride it from a dead man's hands. I was
told, why are you giving it to us? That he says, because
I think you may need it before this is over with. You still haven't
told us what it is. It is known as a chryscilious pot. Have
you ever heard of that before? So I'm so sorry. And I were
literally on a call today and I was just scrolling through artifacts and I was
like, man, you really need to get your hands on a chrystmas pod.
It does blah by blah blah blah, and it's for you. And
he's like, there's one. I've been planning to give you this for a
while. One of the chances of us ever getting on that thing no money
that to use it. I get a lot of darkness. I know.
I don't know what that is, Okay. It is like a black urn,
it says. It's covered in a base cliff for relief glyphs about two
meters high. A thin crack runs along one side from top to bottom.
It vibrates softly, he said. And if you go to reach for the
lid, who go, guy, don't open it until you really need it,
like would say, one of them are dead, dead why what does
it do exactly? He says, it has the capability of bringing someone back
from the dead. I will immediately put the lid back on the box.
He says. It can also heal wounded creatures, or can do all kinds
of things. As many of the artifacts in the Third Horizon, there's no
definitive answer as to what other bove this is so incredibly rare. I still
don't understand why you would give it to us, knowing that there's a potential
of us stop making it back. He laughs, and he says, I
give it to you so that you will make it back. So it takes
a moment to look at to me or holding that box, and there's a
bit of jealousy in his eye as he looks at the gift that he got,
and then he looks at the gift that he got, and then he's
just like, hmm, I mean, yours could be extremely valuable too.
You don't know shit about it. I don't. You're right, but right
now, right now, it still hurts dot Um, still believing, and
he says, now, you're welcome to spend some time here, but I
have one other thing to deliver it to you, And he hands a data
pad over um to whoever takes it atal mission. I'll take it um perfect.
Scrolling through, you start scrolling for you don't even read really as much
as you kind of pan to see it over there's an image of a woman
in robes that you just have to stop on. It takes your breath away.
In fact, it's the same woman who blessed your ship all those many
weeks ago that you met at the cantina. Across her face in big red
letters says missing assumed dead, along with more faces missing assumed dead, missing
assumed dad, missing assumed dead. He says, those are the profiles of
the high powered Mystics Award correalists that we know for a fact have been acquired.
He says, I gave you a cred stick that should serve you well
for suiting your ship, and he says if you need more, you know
where to come and find me. But more importantly, he says returning some
of these people would be ideal. Not everyone leaves that mystics are a disease.
He says, just because we don't understand it does not mean that it's
not a good thing. M Any questions, So we go to that the
area and the data pad, find those people, bring them back, and
that's it. He kind of nods, sure, that'll be it. Um.
This is when I scroll back through and I start actually reading vine details,
and you begin scrolling through reading fine details. Most of this mission will
be giving to you the top of season two, because that's what we're going
to do, is actually playing this mission out over the next week. But
it is an infiltration mission. It seems that there is a location in the
job goal of Kua that is a research facility that they believe has been taken
over by these commandos. This this kind of group that is cleansing Coreolis.
Why they're taking mystics here, you're not sure. They're also not sure of
how many have actually survived, because people have also just like gone missing.
They could be dead. But something is happening here and the end, though
the mission does not state it, there is some kind of correlation, at
least in the minds of the people that have given this to you, the
Consortium, that there's a connection between what had happened in Tawan and what is
happening on the surface of Kua Okay. And he simply says, now,
I have other business to attend to. But I'm glad I got you the
package you keptain the mission and he says, I'll see you when you return.
Yes, thank you, of course, yeah, and he waves you
a jew sorry so he can look around, Oh, he says, please,
this is my private collection. Sure? Cool? Oh what does it?
I'm going to put this in all of your journals now so you can
see the pod just to be clear. Dot, he says, look around,
and then leaves. He no home, he did is he does?
M He had other things to attend to, but he people viewing his collection
is huge. This is like a museum for him. This is like a
private home museum, is what? This is his collection? Um? He
also he is a pride thing for him. Um. But he also stops
and as he passes you to me, and he leans in and he goes,
what is that? What do you have on you? I'm sorry,
your pocket it's ringing, he says. Did you find something on your travels?
No, not that our travels. He leans in a little closer.
What did you find? He will hold it out, he gasped. When
you pull it forth, he says, is it really a He smiles.
He says, do you know what that is. No, I've been trying
to figure out what this is. Do you know what it is? He
says, of course, I know what that is? What is it?
He says? That is a handcarved symmetry stone. He says that stone has
mystical power cast upon it by whoever carved it. Who give that to you?
I found it? How her mind runs through your heads remembering her handing
you the statue with this thing attached to it. Oh, I know now
missing? And he says, if you get it to work, I'd love
to know what she can or I'd love to know what they power they put
on it. How do you get it to work? He says? It
takes a mistake to activate it. Of course, it's funny. It only
vibrates when it's on a mistake. He looks you deep in the eyes,
save travels his two security officers kind of opened one door instead, kind of
stand watching all of you as you go around and view his collection very rare
things here under glass, casing it's a season finale, guys. Malik looks
to talentes. He can I any like motions towards the data pad that she's
holding or what Malik takes the data pad in one hand and then quickly pulls
his hand out of his pocket and puts his other hand underneath the data pad,
putting his data pad underneath this data pad, and then he begins casually
scrolling through the mission as he's walking around, looking at all the prices artifacts
that are in here, because they're very interesting. He's definitely not hacking the
device. And I'm just going to go ahead and roll arbitrarily for you for
no reason at all, Doc, which device are you? I am trying
to hack this guy's house. I assume his data pad is going to his
house and house I'm hacking his network, right, So like, if you're
your Wi Fi kind, you can definitely try. Yeah, that's Michael.
So so I have my data pad, which is gives me a plus hacking
right, the one on top posing as the real data pad. So does
does having his data pad from his house give me any pluses? You don't
know that it's from his house, You just know it had your mission on
it. That's fair. I'm a roll for you. Ready to get some
more darkness points? We're not okay you kind of hack three. First off,
you realize that the data pad he gave you. It is the only
thing on This is your mission. This is like the one that Seul was
given. This is a private file. One two. You try to hack
into his house. He has massive security measures in place. There's a high
probability these are not the only things. These are just his best things on
display. What you do manage to realize is that high security of this nature
is only in place for people that have the money and the items to protect.
Consortium coding blocks you from entering with anything other than a critical success.
Part of me wants to give you a darkness point just to see what happens.
I mean you could roll lower, that's true. I mean you're right.
Of the matter is you can take a pretty at least of this room,
a pretty decent um. I don't know, sam ventory um And I
can give you a list of some of the things, well, would you
know them? As the real question? Some of them are later, some
of them are not. But I can give you a list of some of
the things that he's got in this place. Definitely not. I mean,
if if he has them, like in in the open side of his network,
I'll just download that um. But like if I can't get through to
like. I just know he has juicy hidden things and now I'm intrigued.
Oh, he piques his head back in one more time. Of course he
is, and he says, oh, by the way, Malik, yes,
I suggest you no longer work with you Ball. I'm sorry. I
don't know who that is, he says, dealing drugs. It's not my
business and I can't be your patron when you deal against my biggest nemesis is
that the guy downstairs, He says, Malik, don't play dumb. Have
a good Evening's all right? And you now know his name, and you
now know that he is the nemesis of your patron and you did business with
him. Great. You all make your way around. You're able to look
at what you want. Back down to the ship. When you arrive,
somebody is on board. Two people are on board, not just the doctor.
But tell your mother and your father sit at a table with the doctor.
So you're muted. That's fantastic. Fuck, we didn't even get a
talk. This is what happens when you chase sold to a club. You
don't get to talk. If you don't to talk about you would have some
time to talk on your way back. No, No, this is what
happens when you're a goddamn tattletale and you go run to Tow's mom and say
your daughters are mystic fucking shit. Okay, so do you guys? Are
we are we walking back in or am? There is a chance for you
to chat on your way back to the vessel if you want it. If
not, we'll say you arrive and your parents are there. I will leave
that up to you. I think he'd want to talk to her in private,
not with everybody else around, So I don't think it gets brought up.
Besides, we only have like fifteen minutes the doctor. The doctor sits
there. Maybe next week we could have just an RP episode of Mike's feeling
saucy about it. Mike's always feeling saucy. Okay, so, um,
your mother stands you hear Lamargo, Oh you're back. I found your parents?
So okay, like, fuck this, and I'm just gonna walk into
the shower to wash off and just leave the scene. You'll leave. Oh
wait, she follow Are you injured? I see your bleeding. I'm coming.
She trails behind, using she bangs on the door. I should look
at that. I'll kill you leave me alone. And Tamir Malik and Tao
are standing there in kind of the general area with Tal's parents. Her father
wears UM some kind of security garb, not like probably frontline security, probably
high end security. UM, nicer suit, UM, no gun shown or
anything like that, but very clean and well kept. And your mother,
of course Tal in her professor robes. She's been doing her daily duties.
And she gets up and she hugs you. Hello, mother. She goes,
you look great. Please don't mine to me. She sanks tired,
but you still look good. And she says, I am gotta visit from
my student. Before I got a visit from my daughter and me. You're
just like mouth to tell like I'm sorry, I look daggers at you.
She says, I guess that's not really true. I bumped into him in
the library. Well, I was planning on coming by, but I had
to finish up sim business. When I heard that the Defiant was not docked
in the net, I had to do a little research or father. In
fact, I was able to find out that you were docked and the private
docks in the upper floors. I'm so proud of you, tell thank you
mother, she looks around. This ship could use a good cleaning. Yeah,
well, and really, the Defiant is the name you chose, Yes,
mother, that's the name I chose. Of course it's your ship,
Rice. Do you really think anything fit better at the time? No,
I guess not, She says. Um tell I I come bringing some news.
H Tami or informed me you've not been feeling well. Well. Yeah,
I'm tired. Everyone's tired. It's been a long couple of weeks.
She says, you should take care of yourself. You can tell that she's
trying to choose her words appropriately and is struggling. And your father steps up
and he says, taw, your sister. We haven't heard from her in
about four weeks. We believe that she's missing. Your mother kind of looks
to the floor, and your father says it she told us that she's been
not feeling well, and I'm afraid that she trusted that information with her own
people. I look at my dad and I say, are you telling me
because you want me to find her? Or are you telling me for another
reason. I'm telling you because if you're not feeling well like your sister,
you should take precautions. We love you and whatever sickness that you may be
I'm dealing with right now. We encourage you to keep it to yourself for
your own safety. Things are different than when you left a few weeks ago.
I can tell all right, well, I will keep doing exactly the
same things I've been doing, which is keeping myself and doing my jobs.
Is it true? Your mother says, she looks at you with tears in
her eyes. Are you sick? Not sick at all? Mother? You
know what I mean. Tell a lot of weird things have happened recently.
Okay, Well, you've always been able to take care of yourself, and
you've never really needed us. And she looks at your father. Your sister,
on the other hand, is wild card. Your mother kind of drops
her head and you can hear her sniffle a little bit. She's definitely upset.
Your father puts his hand on her shoulders, and he says, I'm
afraid she's a bit overcome. I welcome to my mother again. I assume
that we were standing pretty close already, and I put my hands on each
shoulder and I say, I'll find her. She was. My understanding is
that your sister was dealing in some business in the cellar. Not a surprise,
you know that that was her stopping ground. Well, I think she
trusted the wrong people. She always did. He says, it's true.
I just want to make sure you're trusting the right ones. And he looks
at tam R and he looks really hard at the leak. Wellie, you
just looks suspicious. That's fair. I have no reason to be in this
conversation. But as soon as he realized what it was, he just leaned
back against the wall. Can I come out of the shower. There's like
the bathroom at I imagine you walk across the hallway like just in a towel,
and you hear the medbakes. She goes, I can look at it
now. I turn around the goal right back in. Oh. Your father
also looks through the cookie. Woman. I didn't have a choice on that
one. Malik brought her back. We almost died a couple of times,
so I can't really say no to a medic. Your mother nod, sniffling
again. She says, please be careful, dude, my best man.
She leaves and your father stays, and he says she's having a hard time
town. Yeah, we all are a lot of pressure. From the university
to make known the sick. More importantly, there's um from a security standpoint,
a lot of whispers of greageous insecurity. You're not part of this,
are you. Your father looks at us part of what. He goes to
mon I'm trying to stop it. I don't tell your mother. She believes
that I'm work in private security, which tells you your father is more on
the front lines than you know. Hey, dad, guess what. We
made a portal, jump into a dark system and still here. It's my
girl, he says, I don't care if you're sick. Te'm not sick.
It's not an illness. He kind of nods. He says, that's
what the mystics say. Well, I don't know anything about mysticism, but
please take care of her because I am. It'll be a lot easier when
she can lay eyes on her sister again. I might have a way of
finding her. I love you two, I'm proud of you. I love
you too. Dad. I'm sorry your mother's having a hard time. She'll
come around. She feels like it is her fault in some way that you
and your sister are sick. Well, certainly didn't happen while I was here,
so it's not her fault. I am try telling her that. He
kisses you on the forehead. He looks again at Malik and mir. He
says to me, R, my wife trusts you. I do not take
care of my daughter. Are your answer for it? Of course? Another
question, I'll see you when you return to Coriolis. Tell yeah, I'll
come, say hi before even take a shower, and he opens the door.
You can see your mother like down the gangway, kind of away.
Your father walks out and tell you're the only one that sees it well,
fifteen feet off from them. As a child, he stands nearby. He
looks at them, smiles, looks at you. I narrow my eyes at
him. He nods in an understanding, and instead he looks up at a
woman walking by, stops her, grabs her hand. Somebody you don't know,
begins to walk away with her. The station's fucked. Yep, you
put a deeple demongin. I close the dark. I would like to come
out of the showers. You come out of the showers, and the camera
cuts to Malik, Malik, what are you doing here in our last few
minutes? As soon as that that that card works by entering the number that's
the IP address. Basically, um, So as soon as uh Sewell comes
out of the shower as a distraction, Malik opens the or or either either
if it's with enough time, he either opens the door or he slides out
as the door to the ship's closing. Um. And when the door is
closed behind him, he's hey, and he motions towards Tal's dad with a
hey because he didn't get a name right, Well, what did we name
your dad? Tell? Did we sit? That's okay, that's okay,
um, he says. He says, you looked through the conversation. Um,
if I can't remember a lot we do? We talk so much.
Yeah, you can just call mister Tuma for now. He stops. I
mean, I don't even think I honestly know Tall's last name. I don't
think i've ever asked, nor have I, as Malie, ever had the
opportunity. You would know, tell Tuma is her name? I mean at
something it's like honor jumpsuits. She also has checked in as Captain Tuma's true.
Yeah, that's right. Yeah, so you would do that, so
Malie kind of Hey, sir, He stops, tilts his head. Uh,
your daughter's missing, he said, yes, you said she does worked
down and he like he motions vaguely downstairs. She has a specific taste in
friends. Um. Here, he reaches in and pulls out a card of
his own. I guess kind of similar to the like it's a contact card,
right, and says, if you could, um and he like shoots
his eyes down to the security kind of uniform. As discreetly as possible,
give me a list of her friends and what she was doing, and I
will find her. The sooner the better. He takes your your calling carton,
your calling cardon. He says, thank you. It makes me a
little concerned that you also deal in the cellar, but I try to do
it as little as possible. But he goes not to everything in the cellar
is bad. I know I've spent my fair share of days down there.
But if it reunites a family, then there's like that awkward pause, and
he says, the sooner the better, the better. Have a good night,
and he kind of turns before it gets any more emotional, and he
walks back towards the ship. He watches you walk away. His wife is
down by the elevators, trying to compose herself, and we watch as Malik
pops the door to the defiant. The camera pans in on all of you.
The doctor comes running and scoops Malik's arm in hers Sewell, maybe we
see him in a mirror, staring at his new mark of judgment. Tamir
and Tao probably stand alone, face to face, having a moment of questions
for one another, but also a moment of understanding as they stand aboard a
vessel two mystics on Correolis while the rest of the mystics are going missing,
your sister, the priestess, people you know, family members, children,
students, and the pans out down a hallway all the way back to the
entrance of Coriolis. As a camera sits staring at a massive space station spinning
in orbit around the planet of Kua. Somewhere out in the distance, we
see stars flicker. One of them goes out, and then another. The
darkness is approaching. It has already sent agents here, It already has creatures
working for it, and Coriolis is beginning to seed corruption. The emmissaries are
missing, people are missing, and the stars are going out one by one.
As a crack to the first horizon, still remains caught between two doors
and the towering system. Something is knocking, something has already slipped through the
crack, but more weights, and as we finish out the final moments of
this little adventure, we pan to the surface of Kua through a thick jungle
to a medal lab that is slowly being taken over by nature. Thick rustling,
and the screen of humans from afar deep in the bowels of this med
lab that has been converted into something that is only proper for nightmares. But
the activities happening here are not brought on by Martin monsters or creatures of the
darkness, but by humans against other humans, the fear of the lack of
humanity that slowly is being taken over by the darkness, and Season one of
The Void comes to a close, setting up for season two. Oh I
played more cards today? Um? Oh yeah, I played the faceless?
