H Hello everybody, and welcome to We're trying to get Bloody's autographed the show.
Stop the switch, Ambassador, Hi, welcome to Forbidden Lands. You
take it to It's true. O, no, no, no, I'm
not. It's not my day. She is on the screen, whack whack,
you know, changing out glasses so we can see the ambassador better.
Oh my god, that's it. That's it for me. Goodbye. Yeah,
this was Bloody's last episode. We'll leep seeing her never after this quit
the show. But welcome to anyone. It's good to have you here.
Happy Monday. Sorry again for we had some pre major tech difficulties last week
and we just could not do the show. We're here now. The tech
difficulties are over. I don't know that a plumber qualifies as tech difficulties.
To let everybody know your apartment was there was no poo, it was sink
plumbing. I don't know. I don't know where you poop. I don't
know where you but not my think. I was going to say this,
technically could not take ship, but never mind you if ironically couldn't wash their
hands after you took a ship. Oh true? Yeah, you see.
I like to say things like tech difficulty because it's technically correct what I just
said. Then Black decided to bring him plumbing and then very adamantly deny any
poop involved. So I'll let you all draw your own judgments. Uh,
it's okay. Everybody poops. Everybody, Yeah, don't be embarrassed. I'm
not. It's the same difference people today, that's happening. Okay, but
a hi, we'll go around real quick, say who these these people are,
even the famous ones, and uh, then we'll uh it's one she's
below me. Okay, all right, well we'll get to that. We'll
get to that. We'll get to that, but let's let's start with tech.
Where are you and uh, what's your what's your favorite hot beverage to
drink? Hey, my name is Technique. My favorite hot beverage is Snickerdoodle.
We went over it's like I think was it? Maybe it was a
different hot chocolate snickerdoodle, the cookie the drink. I think it's hot chocolate.
I don't know what. Does it tastes good? Just drink that it's
only available, Well, it won't be available soon, so you might as
well jump on at if you can, or make your own. Actually,
make your own. Yeah, I want to because I don't want to go
there anymore. Yeah, but I play anxiety and I think I'm dying.
I can't remember, are we all? I think? Yeah, I think
I'm Let me look at my characters dying mood lately, like I think I'm
dying, bleeding or something. I don't know, but uh, we have
a lot of fun in the show, and I love it to death,
love the cast, and Dan is a great DM. So our G what
do you call your so DM or GM GM if it's not Dungeons and Dragons
DM, if it's Dungeons and Dragons or either or because it's gate, keepy
almost and be whatever you want. GYM copyrighted for for Dungeons and Dragons,
which is the actual reason that makes sense. That's a weird thing to copyright.
But I could totally see it done copyright. I did want to though,
That's what I mean, Like I can see a dungeon Master apparent.
I mean we could say it on the show probably, But anyway, I'm
still a GM. I'm the GM, please the Wizards, thank you tech.
Uh, hey, Bathy to play and uh, what's your favorite hot
beverage? Hi? I'm failing. I play Alkali and my favorite hot beverage
is good. I don't know what that is, but I'm glad you enjoy
it. Coffee. I just point out that one was talking. He's like,
I know, I was doing that on purpose. I was like a
special blend or something that you made named it get it cafe? Well yeah,
oh the meme, you know it's it's ancient now. But Cat,
who are you and who do you playing? What's your hot beverage? I'm
Cat? I play Manassa, your favorite pirro luke Goblin? And I don't
have a favorite hot drink because I have a sensitive tongue, so I have
to have all my coffee beverages cold. What about lukewarm? Lukewarm beverage?
Lukewarm lukewarm? I can do. And when you say that you're tongue insensitive,
can you elaborate more on that and please do it? Like I can't
have spicy things because it breaks out and blisters. That's not what I was
going for at all, so I know, but I was just thank you,
perfect, thank you. Cat, Bloody? Who are you? Who
do you play? What's your favorite hot beverage? And why are you the
best, most recent Twitch ambassador. I hate this and I'm leaving goodbye him,
blood caster. And nothing happened today at all, nothing that you should
know of, nothing to be aware of. I play im Kit. That's
it. That's all I have to say. My favorite hot beverage is also
coofefit also, yes, that's great and a sort of gone, sort of
gone whack. Hi everybody, I'm Stephen and I play nikel And my favorite
hot beverage is probably Camma meal tea. Ooh, that's a nice one.
Look at you, classy man. What do you put in your Camra meal
tea? Honey? Yes, yes, yes, that's the only way.
I'd say. Splash milk and honey, but just honey is also fantastic for
that. I do milk too, I don't know, not kind of milk
tea though the Canadian mare heritage can't do any tea without a little flash of
milk. I won't do it. But non domestic dan your gm of consequences.
And if I didn't say coffee, people would probably call me out as
a liar. So it's coffee because it keeps me moving. It is entirely
what I don't know what coffee is, but it could just be caffeinated hot
chocolate too sweet, right yeah, not for every day consumption, no,
which have got everyday consumption. But then again, I can't talk. I
eat bacon like every day that you do, that you do. But thank
you everyone. Let's uh, let's dive into some of this, eh.
The last time on Forbidden Lads, our party worked through quite a few different
puzzles, shall we say, inside theta they were working together to determine how
to best trap and defeat this corrupted machine sitting at the center of site data
held back by some mechanisms of freezing and a force field that Ares had been
running for who knows how long. Aries himself or itself couldn't remove these barriers
without causing significant problems, risking corruption of other machines and or itself, and
so it held there, using up many of its valuable resources. The party,
specifically Alkali, spoke with and worked with Ares. Even if there is
a number of I mean maybe a little lack of trust and this ai the
spirit if they still went through with it. Determining that maybe their options hoofing
it outside won't be ideal, so they prepped a set of traps, They
positioned themselves strategically and released the monster, and after a long struggle, after
being thrown about after attempting to lead it over traps unsuccessfully, they did in
fact defeat it, taking out many of its weak points in the process,
as well as some of its power cells before it shut down permanently. We
take place just moments after we see a few of them gathering some pieces from
the ground of this flaming giant beast this site Ata is everyone all right?
Oh yeah, I think so? Yeah, okay, yeah, yes,
what was that? What did you do? Maybe? Uh, maybe aries
can tell us now that we've destroyed it. Zaire Zayire, you gonna rush
over town. He's kind of just like he has a sword down to side.
He's slumped over. I guess he has slammed into that wall is super
hard, so I guess rubble and stuff around him in size. Pretty busted
up. I mean, he's just really busted up. I thought I was
going to be with the ancient ones. Mhm, it almost were. M
yeah, I lost track of you in the fight. Oh that's just it.
I guess I'm lucky, unlucky to be alive. Do you still have
the potion. I don't know, and start looking through his stuff. Say
if he has a potion, handy, I believe he had the stem,
the stem pack, get a stem, but no potion. Correct. I'll
probably look at it and say, this is what we found, Alkali,
you said this was safe to use. This would this would heal? I
mean I think so, but zuch, Let me let me check anxiary out
first. He looks very injured. Yeah, let me take a look.
Sorry, is it okay? If I check you out? I can't fight
you? And if I want it okay, And I'd like to just double
check and see, like what's going on exactly, if he's broken anything,
if there's anything in particular that's gonna really require a lot, a lot of
rest or something like that. Hey, hey, Alkali, do you you
need any help? I can help take off his yeah, clothes, Yeah,
you can, you can help. You can help gotta see what right?
If he's you could just you could just hold him, you could just
hold him up to something. Yes, yeah, I can do that,
yes, right, yeah, yeah, we don't need to take off his
clothes. I can just look under the shirt and stuff. Oh oh good,
good, good good. I didn't want to I just you know,
for Pete's sake, Okay, I'm gonna walk over it. I'm just going
to rip up his shirt and a so what are you doing? We need
to check his wounds and so I'm doing it right, all right. I'm
sorry. I have this thing on and I don't know, I don't know
if it affects my strengthen on and just it's kind of weird feeling. They'd
see the shimmer when she notes that of her personal shield that's still running.
Go ahead and give me a difficulty for medicine check, Oklai, Okay,
I'll go ahead and apply one point of effort. That's a failure. Okay.
Uh, Yeah, he's injured. It's you don't see like any compound
fractures, so there's no bone or anything. You do see heavy bruising,
especially if like you kind of peek around as like m Case holding him upright,
like kind of look around at his back with the shirt lifted, like
I don't see anything that looks like it's jutting there. But there's so much
bruising. He might have internal bleeding. He might not. You aren't sure.
You're not practiced enough with your readings and it's hard to note color in
a text based book. I mean, he's I can't tell. He looks
just really really beat up. I don't. I don't know what does it
say like on the stem, Like, does it say anything on it?
An instructions or anything? Yeah? Actually it so it's it's a vile that's
got what looks like a button on the top, and it looks like step
one remove cap uh, step two, place an arm, step three,
press button and hold for five seconds. And it just said stem like stim
pack on it. I believe is when you first found them, and that
was it. Should we try this? It has instructions? I mean we
could, but all right, let's do it. Don't take you take mine,
I take mine out of my pocket. I just go, h okay,
just all right. You do not heal anything from that anxiety, but
ah, you do feel a little more capable. I'll let you know what
happens the next time you try to do something but you don't feel healthier.
Did that do anything? I don't think. So maybe relieve pressure? Okay,
Well, maybe maybe there's somewhere here we can we can take a rest
for a while. I don't I don't think there are any other machines,
and here it has to have a facility for I don't know, wounded.
Mm hmm. Maybe you should ask your friend, since he's free now of
his little problem, right, oh yeah, where is your friend all around
us? Dan? If I take out the map of the facility on that
PDA, does it show anything in particular, like any sort of infirmary or
anything, or is it just those rooms that we saw before? Does not
show an infirmary of any kind, at least it's not labeled. Okay,
berries, yes, administrator, Is there any particular safe place in this facility
that we could take our friends to? Now that the corrupted machine has been
defeated, there should be no area in this facility that is unsafe. That's
not very helpful. You don't detect any other machines like this one, right
as it was I that rappid here nor aris. Now that we've gotten rid
of this thing, can you tell us what that was? That was a
fire claw? So it said the I suppose people like you have picked it
up? Mm andes, there was some there was information I was asking about
before. Now that we've removed this threat, are you able to access any
of those data stores? To tell us what happened so long ago. I
will see I am cut off from most networks, and he goes silent.
Oh, at the very least, I don't think he's lying about detecting other
machines here. So we could rest. We could bunker down and rest here
before proceeding. I know when to move, Okay, I think we need
to, right, I mean not really, he could just lay right there.
We can, of course make him a bit more comfortable, of course,
well should we should probably go rest. I think that's a good idea.
So will Aris is trying to figure stuff out. Let's lay on all
the better rolls and everything and get set up. Okay, yeah, I'm
gonna start to get out my stuff and lay it down. Okay, I'd
lay out Zayi's first, and like make sure he gets plopped down onto like
a pillow and stuff. All right, here we go, all right,
okay, okay, all right, thanks, no problem, got rest?
You need any water or anything? No? No, okay, I am
gonna take some of my rations, which I believe I have some smoked meat
left right somewhere. I'm just gonna take some and I'm gonna put it right
next to zaity. I know he's unconscious, but you know, just leave
it next to him and leave, you know, go back to my bedroll
all right? How long are you all wanting to rest? Are you just
gonna stay the night, so to speak? Or just do a quick thing?
I would say so, yeah, because we're pretty beat up, right,
I need more than ten minutes. I'm gonna scavenge the fire claw before
we go to sleep. Okay, what a surprise. I'm also gonna call
Mkay over to help me. Oh okay, we'll do it. Oh,
come on, you're not dying sleeps, you know you see me. Just
I'm getting comfiet right now, that's what I'm doing. I'm just getting comfie
ready to sleep. Okay, what are you doing? What do you what
do you mean? What do you mean? Get out? Why? Why?
Why? I need you to assist me with this? And I'm gonna
point out to the machine I assisted in standed, I assisted you blew a
hole in the roof, okay, and tell me take it apart. Do
we have to do it now? Yes? Okay, all right, but
then you'll let me sleep, okay, I will let you sleep afterwards.
Fine, all right, okay, let's do it. I'm gonna like smack
her really hard on the back, and I don't I don't really know if
it's like any harder or on because like you just see, like right as
I like hit her, the like you could see like the glistening of like
this shield. I don't feel thing. So what is up with the thing?
Do I see it? By the way, yeah, every now and
then you'd get a visual shimmer of a bunch of different like heckts, So
that thing? What is that a shiny that you picked up? Yes?
Remember I told you the shield, So that's what it is. Yes,
I'm that's what I used to protect you from the blast. Wait, so
is that like it can't be permanent? Is it? Sadly not? I
don't really remember how long it lasts, but it will dwindle in power and
then I will wait, can you not turn it off and save its power?
How does it? I'm like, I'm tapping it. I don't think
I can take it off. I'll turn it off at least right now.
Man, I want to learn how this works. I mean I could give
it to you once it's dead. Okay, yes, yes, that's a
good idea. You should do that. Let's go. I'm tired. Awesome.
Yes, I smack her. I smack her on the shoulder. It
doesn't feel any harder than this. I feel like smacks. You feel it.
It's just it doesn't feel any harder than it normally would. It's just
she doesn't get any like feedback from it because this is so awesome. Are
you enjoying this? Yes? I am thoroughly. I'm happy for you punch
me. Excuse me, go on, try it. I'm not going to
punch you, Okay. Are you afraid that's gonna hat afraid? Yeah?
So you're gonna Are you afraid it's going to hurt your hand? Nothing can
hurt this hand? Are you sure? No? But don't and uh,
you know, I'll just pretend that I'm not gonna do it, and I'm
gonna turn around and just kind of muster all my strength and not all of
my strength, but a lot of strength, and I'm gonna turn around and
punch his shield where kind of like where are you punching her? Like?
Chest? Arm back? I mean, it doesn't really matter. I'm just
curious bob boob, all right, giving her a boob punch? Okay,
go ahead, and make an attack roll might based. So I think if
you, if you don't have a default, just just do a MITE roll
and go ahead and give me a MITE defense check. Uh, what is
difficulty zero for both of you? It's just been tested. It's whoever rolls
higher rolled a seven. Yeah, okay, yeah, so you do have
your armor on, which reduces damage. I believe that is what it does
specifically. Yeah, so let mean I need to see what a light weapon
does to damage. It's too Yeah, so so you take uh, you're
going to end up taking one damage from that manassa because you've got your shield
that that does that. So oh wait, and when you hit like you
feel you see the ship like a shimmer of energy go around her lighting up.
Why are we screaming? Uh? Uh uh? What happened? I'm
like holding my boob. Is it another fire? Ah? Yeah? Looting,
We're looting. I sneezed. I sneezed too. At the same time,
why are you grapping yourself? I'm not I sneezed. It's just like,
wait, you know you're sneezing. You know the reaction just it's yeah,
it's just a really big sneeze and you you great, you know,
yeah, it happens. Happens to me when I sneeze. I put my
Nobody wants to know what happens. That's likely way to do it. What
are you doing? You're just spewing your sneeze everywhere. No, I am,
but I have a shield it contained. So you're reaction is I don't
criticize you when you sneeze. That's because I do it in a way that's
normal. So we're okay. Normal it's defined by you. Go back to
sleep. Okay, all right, that was actually a really good punch.
Thank you. I felt I felt a little something when you passed me.
Okay, yes, I hope your booby's okay. Oh, my boob will
be fine. Okay, all right, let's go. Let's go do this.
Yeah, let's just yeah do it. Yeah, I was. I
was not expecting that this would actually hit, so it just took me by
surprise too. All right, I am going to a roll for scavenging.
Go for it. She getting an asset because I'm helping, Yes, she
is. That is going to be a difficulty seven scavenging check with an asset.
I'm using both my effort for this. Hold the cow more difficulty the
machine, the more dum I would like to use my enabler ability called experienced
adventure. H huh. If I don't roll a nineteen or twenty NOTT,
then I get to apply a level of effort, So I got to take
another extra effort away, so before effort, and I get a minor special
effect that's right, that you do just to clarify, if you are doing
this on top of the roll, it's another three yep, yep, yep.
It'll be six total six points. Yeah, but you get a minor
effect that's just as much, and that's all my speed. Oh are you
impaired now? Uh huh? Good fun. Okay, So yeah, you
start like you're maybe holding up like it's paw mk as she's kind of like
scavenging around like under trying to find parts, and you see like bolts and
things fly away as she works with her tools, and you definitely like cut
your hand open manassa. With the effort you're putting in there, it's a
bit deeper than you would like it to be, to the point where you're
if you're using your hands for something, you're impaired. But in the midst
of that, you still end up finding three Blaze can so you're able to
kind of like get some of the liquids from that are leaking from one of
the shoulder pouches into a few canisters that you've had spare that were useless,
So three Blaze canisters. But you have a pretty bad wound on your hand
and are impaired. Do I see that happen when she cuts herself? Or
I think until she steps out, because she's kind of like ink and you're
upholding okay are you? Are you done what you're doing? Nasa? Oh
god? Oh what? Ah? You can't? Oh? I cut my
hand? What is it? Bad? How bad? Yeah? Ah,
that's bad? Okay Okay again, okay, okayed again this time cut her
hand? Well yeah, yeah, no, yes, no, yes,
okay, listen to me this thing. What did you cut yourself? What
did you cut yourself on? Huh huh. See, like the wound is
like one of these like down the side of her hand, and it's oh,
it's kind of gushing a bit. It's not great. I'm gonna take
a piece of cloth and rip it from like my shawl. Come here and
don't wake me up again, I said, Try and sleep. It's not
my fault that you're a light sleeper. I'll take some water and like pour
it over it and then try to wrap it up. Okay, you can
do that without a medicine check of any kind. It seems like the bleeding
of stuff. You're still definitely impaired, but maybe you won't take bleed damage.
Now, try not to hurt yourself again. I don't. It's these
damn allergies, you know, all these sneezing just so it's dusty in here,
it's not. Yeah, it's a very old facility. Remember, it's
a very clean facility. You don't know that. I look around the room
and it's like spotless, right. See. Yeah, when you have severe
allergies, that's what happens. Even if you can't see it, it still
affects you so much. I need some RESTful sleep. Can you two also
get some sleep? Hopefully? I mean that was a plan. Oh yes,
okay, okay, okay, how are you? How's your hand?
I mean it's good, it's fine. Is it bad? Yes, it's
fine. It would have been worse if I didn't have this on and I
tapped my shoulders for the shield. What would happen if you didn't, would
your hole. I probably would have. I probably would have lost the hand,
uh tru. All right, let's get some sleep, okay, all
right, all right, thank you? Yes, and everyone takes a nap
for about an hour, So those of you who have recovery rolls and used
recovery rolls up for the hour mark. Unless you were deciding to sleep for
ten hours, it will not be a full rest. You can you'd like
to use up ten hours of time, that would be something you'd all need
to amongst yourselves. I'm only resting for about ten minutes. I think I've
been sort of watching and shaking all of this. Then yeah, yeah,
I'm only uh sort of resting for about ten minutes or so, and I'll
probably get up and uh start to look around the place a bit while they're
while they're resting. Okay, what are you? What are you trying to
look for a reminder of how this chamber was? You came down the lart
the long elevator shaft into the hallway with all the pictures of the old ones,
and then going through to the main chamber where there's that force field in
the center, the cabling and the desks that are arranged a little less organized
as just sort where I thought we were. Correct, you're in that main
chamber, correct, And then off on the left side was the like cooling
cool into area specifically for the chamber, and then the right side had areas
processing. And then there's the large blast door in the back that supposedly goes
to the transportation. Yeah. I'm gonna probably try and look around that area.
I just want to see if there's any writing on the walls or anything
along those lines. Is there any sort of indicator like that says anything,
Go ahead and give me a perception check Difficulty five sixteen. Nice. Yes,
So you add solutely when you're starting to look around this main chamber,
like every the floors are clean, but then you kind of notice walls are
a little dusty and that, okay, maybe the circulation isn't as good as
you thought. And you're able to kind of start brushing away some plaques and
what looks like at doors, and you do see like one of them by
that big last door, Uh says transportation to the to the front. Whatever
that transport transportation to the front, and and maybe if you're doing like a
full circle around the room, kind of looking. Once you find that first
one, maybe don maybe there are others, and you go and sure enough
the room where Aries supposedly is has a label project Aries. What does that
room look like? So that room where Aries it is, or at least
the Aries processing room. On the left side, there are all the fuel
cells behind what looks like a very thick glass of some kind. Half of
them no longer glowing or anything, all plugged in, but half of them
are depleted. The other half are kind of glowing in almost like greenish yellow
color that you can peer in at. And on the right side there was
the heedestal that has a light glowing blue where the hollow the spirit of Aries
formed. And then behind that are a number of machines humming and whirring.
I'm sort of peering in is Aries in the room when I look in,
no so as maybe the When you're thinking that again with your perception, you
recall Alkali saying he's everywhere. Okay, Yeah, I guess. Once I've
sort of done a once over on the on the place, kind of looking
through, I'll probably make my way back to the group, and I have
some herbs for potions I would like to see if I can make anything I
have. I have one herbs for potions. I don't know if that's enough
to craft anything. That's enough to craft a potion, it's definitely once you
go ahead and give me a difficulty three, I believe that's into unless you
had a skill specifically for it. I do. I have an herbalism and
potions skill. Well, look at that difficulty three, but go ahead and
use your skill for it. H uh, use one effort? Okay,
for sake, that's the second you have intreason post and you've had well,
what's your what's your choice? God? Damn? Yeah, I take it?
Okay? Are you giving your experience too after you take your own?
I don't even know, man, none of it really makes sense. I'll
roll a die okay, uh alkali yay, thank you, because I just
it might be all right. Okay. So you start mixing this potion and
you start, you know, getting your you get your mortarom pestle out that
you've crafted out of wood, and begin grinding up everything and start getting a
really acrid smell that shouldn't fit with these herbs, and definitely gonna need you
to make an in defense check of four. That's a feeling okay, yeah,
as you're grinding it up more. Oh, there's there's bugs or something
in this that have gotten into your herbs and ah what whatever you just ground
up had some sort of bug defense mechanism, and that acrid smell has just
inflamed your nostrils and your sinuses. You're gonna take four points of damage.
Oh good, as you kind of like the like your nose starts to bleed.
Ah oh it's maybe you cough for a second, and there's not enough
to be worried, but enough to make you pause when a little bit of
blood pops out when you cough. Okay, I'm yeah. I try and
walk over someplace else away from the group and just kind of scrape it out.
And whoa, oh that was my last set of herbs. I guess
no potions for now. Oh they got a bit of a headache, but
you're mostly you feel mostly okay. After a little bit of time, I
probably walk over to the rest of the group, uh sort of resting and
uh probably just join them. Okay, all right, going past your ten
minute rest now, okay, all right, there's a recovery okay, doki,
And about an hour passes and those who are waking up, wake up
after your little nap, or maybe you're reading and collecting yourself, depending on
if you're actually sleeping or just physically resting. Anxiety is still pretty much out
cold at the moment. What is that smell? There were some bugs that
got into my herbs. I didn't seem to notice, and they had a
well some sort of defense mechanism. Oh, that's probably my fault. Those
were the ones I picked. Right, it's not your fault. It could
have happened to anything. So much for this place being clean, Well,
that's something to note. I took a look around while everyone was resting,
and I found that a lot of the walls were very dirty. Only the
floors have been cleaned. Hmmm. I found out where the transport is supposed
to be. I think right, yeah, it's it's to the north of
the room, I think right. Yes. Okay, by the way,
did aries get back to us while while we were sleeping? Anybody here Mary
speak? I went by that room with the power cells and that he wasn't
there wasn't there? Aries? Yes, administery or oh maybe you just need
one of these. Did you end up figuring out the information that we were
looking for. I have pieced together some archives of mine. It is fragmented,
unfortunately, without being connected to the network. What would you like to
know? Well, I know this what happened here this particular facility or something
else? I mean, I guess in general, like all those years ago.
The last time this facility was used was how long ago? Just under
four hundred years at least when this was last our line the longer than that
since my creators, it's someone turn you off. No, I have been
functional, however, I needed to maintain that machine, right, mm hmm.
Do you guys have any questions? Where does the transport go? That's
a good point. Aries yes, the transportation system? Where does that lead
exactly to the front lines? I would pull out I would pull out my
map, like the PDA map. Does it have like any sort of coordinates
on it? Like an X Y kind of deal or uh, yeah,
it's it's got latitude and longitude, not that you may know what that is,
but yes, it is coordinates. Right, So would I be able
to piece together that like, Okay, this is a positioning tool that the
old ones did use though, Okay, yeah, I would say that's that's
that's a logical leap you can probably do since this map was given to you,
aries where exactly X? Why? Why's are the front lines? Please
clarify administery tour on this map I have? Oh, would you be able
to upload the position onto this this map that I have here, similar to
how you did for the facility. I can do that if you will need
to bring it to the pedestal. All right, looks like we might have
some answers, right, yes, questions? Yeah, that was great.
Okay, I'm gonna go upload this or download. I don't know what that
means. I'll be right back. She walks away. Should someone go with
her? I can if you would like, excellent, I'll volunteer. Careful
with you're sneezing and also walks away. Okay, Then did you get hurt
at all in the fight? What fight? Oh? The fight? No?
Not really? Well, you know, some scratches here and there,
but bruising, like maybe on her neckline from like when she ended up getting
like smacked by it at one point. That's nothing, you know, are
you? Okay? Yes, I I grew a bit exhausted from running around
so much. Well, it's only natural. I hope that anxiety gets well
soon. His breathing is maybe studied a little bit compared to before, so
the bruising is definitely more noticeable. He has been getting beaten up quite a
bit during these fights. Yeah, that's an understatement. So were you trying
to make a healing potion? Yes? And the ingredients that you use,
that's it. Yes, it appears that there were some additional ingredients that I
was not expecting. What do we do now? Well, if we see
any more medicinal herbs that I might be able to use, collect them around
here? Well, of course, I don't think we're going to find any
in here, but who knows where this transport will lead us. Probably some
were dangerous, if I had to guess, the world is a very dangerous
place. Sure is? Sure is? Do you think that the smoked meat
has any medicinal properties? We could write no, I don't think so.
Okay, but I you know, I left someone stay just for me.
It works this way. It always makes me feel better eating that is,
you know, so I yeah? Okay? Then how about that weather?
Huh? Good weather we're having we're inside. How do you know what the
weather is outside? I'm an oscer, we know just you know, I
can feel it in my bones. What does it feel like? You want
to know how my bones feel? Well? Right now? They don't feel
like anything. That's how I know the weather's so the weather is good when
your bones feel normal. Yes, that is correct, Yes, thank you?
Yes, yes, yes. Have you not heard of this? I
think that's the thing, isn't it. I think I've heard some of the
members of my village speak of this. Yes, it's a common problem for
people that can tell the weather. It was usually the older villagers. Okay,
okay, okay, okay, and okay is that that now? Another
thing? Okay? First, first, I'm fat, and now I'm old?
Is I say I'm not old? Okay? I didn't say. Okay,
Well you were, you were about to you were about tom. I
can't really tell the weather, I mean not from here. I'm sorry.
M h that was a joke. I tried to make small talk. You
know. It's mm hmm yeah. M Have you had any luck making any
new ammunition or anything? Ahh yeah, No not really. But you saw
did you see did you see manassa though? Did you see what she used?
What she used? Yeah? Oh, you mean what she picked up
the explosive no, no, no, not the explosive, the shield.
Oh when you punched her, Well, yeah, she picked up the shield
and used it before I punched her. It wasn't because of the punch that
she used it. But didn't she still get hurt? Well, yeah,
well that's because I'm really strong, you see, so it Yes, you
want to see I can punch you in the boot. Why, Oh,
I don't know. I I kind of thought that you I'm not strength.
Okay, well, uh, maybe it can be your fifth bump, you
know, I you know, boom punch. No okay, hmm, So
yeah, I was I was thinking maybe when that shield, when it turns
off, she can give it to me and I can maybe examine it,
maybe, you know, figure out how it works. Maybe we can make
some for for the rest of us. That would be good, That would
be excellent. I think Zary should get the first one. Yes, I
agree with you. Who yeah who boy? Yeah, yes, that is
a great idea. We should go talk to him right now, sleep he's
injured. Yes, well maybe we he needs to eat though, he needs
to eat and drink some water. Me you know, right, Sorry,
I to take a look at this. I put it on the map what
the I guess Nichole was right, huh. I guess we were walking into
the room. Yeah, he may pick up like the last bit of maybe
MK being like said sire, still asleep. I think that's just so interesting
that Okay, what are you doing? Hi? Hi? Hi? As
I see them, I just will I will go and hug both of them,
you know, just hi, I love both. I just thought I
feel nothing that you're hugging me. Thank you, we got it. Good
call on the question to kel, Yeah, it was really good. So
do we wake up zyare and take a look at the transportation system because I
have where we're supposed to be on the map at the end of it,
Dan, out of curiosity, how close is it to the distress signal that
we received? Go ahead and make a difficulty to okay, just straight up
intellect or can I use my navigate shim skined Hmmm. So you're not traveling
somewhere specifically, you're comparing two maps, so I'll say no for this time.
Okay, that's totally fine. Yeah, difficulty too. Okay, you're
kind of comparing this to other things, and yeah, they're actually pretty it's
fairly close, not exact, but roughly the same area, right, would
I be able to like figure out kind of like in terms of I guess
like days travel, how long that might be from where we would be dropped
off? Uh? Not? That one's a little harder, okay, because
you don't know what obstacles you could run into. If there's you know,
right debri and buildings or nothing. If it's just flat ground, it might
take you half hour. If it's not well, I don't know. Look
at how close this is. It's fairly close. But I don't think we
should wake him at the moment. Does he look well enough to even walk?
Do you? No, he doesn't look well enough to do anything exactly.
I should let him rest. So should we just scout out the transportation
area? Then we could do that? Mkay? Do you want to stay
here with nick Kell? Or no? No, I would like to walk
walk. I have to walk. I was going to say, that's probably
best if Nickkell and I go, since he's an experienced tracker. I was
about to say the exact same thing, exactly the same thing that in my
legs. I mean, what No, Okay, yes, are you take
a head injury? You know what? Nikel? I think it's probably the
fumes from that potion you brewed. That that must be. It could be.
I'm sorry. Do you know what I will forgive you? I mean,
MK, if you really want to go with me, we can't know.
Nikkel is the best choice. I will not feel bad for you making
the choice. I slap MK on the back. All right, we'll stay
here. You two go scout ahead for us. Make sure she's okay.
Okay, and I guess we would start walking towards the transportation door. Okay,
yeah, and so is he careful? Large last door, probably good
thirty feet high, thirty to forty feet wide, very very very large.
I would turn on my focus. Do I see anything? No, you
actually don't. I don't see anything. See there, that's where I scraped
off part of the dust from the wall. Oh hmm. Okay, does
it look like there's anissa? Maybe? Maybe Aries? Maybe Aries? Aries?
Yes, Administrator, Can you open the door to the transportation section of
the facility now that the machine has been disabled, I can got it moving
lockdown procedure. And you hear heavy metal grinding as these doors begin to slide
open, and as they do, it's about a foot thick of whatever metal
is being used, and it opens after about thirty seconds of just metal grinding
against itself, and you see very large chamber look looks like it goes tunnels
down to the right, tunnels down to the left, kind of similar to
that rail station that you had been in, though on a much bigger heavy
duty scale. In the center of this tunnel, you see what looks like
a large circular device that has a number of like crisscrossed metal pieces going vertically
that looks like it would match up and line up with similar pieces running down
the centers of the tunnel. In addition to that, you see something that
looks similar off on the right side of the tunnel to that giant monster you
road to Fall City. So it looks also much more heavy duty, a
lot wider, and has a number of platforms with wheels attached to it.
Does it look like it has any like cargo or anything on it. You'd
have to go in and get closer. Okay, it might though those platforms
look like they would hold cargo though, right, Okay, that's kind of
like the mind I was going with. Cal Look, it's it's it's this,
I guess, almost the same as that other one. We wrote here.
This one's quite larger. Yeah, it looks so heavy duty. Hmm.
Should we go up and investigate it, or do you want to take
a look at the rest of the platform first, whatever? You think you
know more about these machines than I do. Mh dan. With my focus
on, do I see anything giving me any sort of blips nearby? If
I'm walking in and kind of like I guess moving a little bit further into
the room. Yeah, you would see down by that large circular platform thing
that has those criss crossed metal pieces that's not lined up with the other ones.
There's a small maybe like ten foot building, like like a separate building
within this little spot, and looks like there's some pings in there that your
focus is picking up. There's no door on it, It's just a frame
with windows on the sides. Over there. I'm I can I can see
some some things highlighted. Let's go. Let's go check out that building.
Okay, you lead the way, all right, and I'd start walking towards
it. And as they do that, the two of them leave your vision
and it's a k So what has your pants and a bunch me my pants?
Okay, I deal with people on a daily basis or I don't.
Anyways, before the traveling, Yes, why were you so awkward? What
do you mean me? I'm not awkward. I mean I am, but
that's me. That's just me. Yes, who I am? How's that
news? What did you two talk about? What do you talk about with
the caw? I don't know bugs, Well, punch his boobs? I
asked if I asked him if I want if he wanted me to punch him
in the boob? Oh my god, okay, I it's like, oh,
don't why are you asking me these things? Okay, just let it?
Let it why it just? How is your hand? Why did you
ask? Look? Can I drop it? Okay? To long story?
Okay, the fact it remains that what I need from you is your shield,
the thingy, whatever that is, I want it. Okay, that's
it. That's it. Okay. Please. Oh I mean it's still kind
of attached to me. Well, yeah, that's what I said, as
soon as it's not. Wait, is it attached for life? No?
Oh, it's just pouched for the time being. Okay, Well, I
mean if I have to come closer to examine it, I will, you
know, yeah kidding, I'm just kidding. I'm kidding. I'm kidding.
I mean I don't care. Okay, okay, okay, good, okay,
yes you or not? I think he's the only ways he's up.
He's up, his eyes, I see him up. He's awake, he's
up, awake, he he lives, he breathes up. We walk over
desirey. It's like trying to pill his shirt off and like wrap himself and
trying to figure out what the heck, why the heck conversation is going on
in the first place? Did you feel a little bit better anxiety? I'll
let you give yourself because it's you difficulty to medicine check or if you don't
have medicine. Uh yeah uh maybe like when you wake up like you know
and like injured. Yeah, I saw you like kind of you know,
mimicking visually, like stretching and kind of like feeling, and you don't feel
like anything's broken. You might have you must have hit that wall just perfectly
enough to not break something bruised. Yeah, maybe a hairline fracture here or
there. Yeah, but nothing outright broken. You're still able to move around
just fine. You're gonna be sore for a while, but you may have
gotten out lucky. Yes, yes, I hear you. I hear you.
I'm just trying to it's like kind of peels off, try to peel
off his shirt to wrap with whatever cloth he has in his bag. His
ribs and his back are his shoulder. I'm just I feel like I got
hit by I don't know everything a machine because you pretty much were hit with
a giant fireclaw machine fireclaw. Uh huh, now we know where it is.
It is a fire claw. That's yeah. Well what anything I left?
Yes, meat is meat. I get water. I get my water
skin out and I hand it to him. Thanks. Never thought i'd say,
that's just even swallow. I'll be okay. I just need to wrap
my shirt. It's all turned up. I wonder if Nikael can make any
potions for it. He just starts ripping at it again, just wrapping himself
up. Do you need help ripping up your shirt? Sure? From the
back, I'm gonna go behind. I'm gonna literally just like rip it.
It's just easy. I'm sorry. I don't you know, it's a little
hard. I've done anything about going slow. What's wrong? You have?
What I have? This? Can I like flick it, you see,
like the little shiny so you made yourself into a shiny yourself kind of.
It's what I used to protect myself from the blast and me and the blast
that you recklessly ran into. I saw it. I didn't recklessly do it.
If I didn't have this, I wouldn't have done in the first place.
She's right, she's right, she's right. Did you know, oh,
did you know that these that these little contraptions I had. I had
someone tell me through you know, the trade routes that a man used one
to withstand a stampede of striders and lived really not a scratch on him.
Well, while I was trying to sleep, I have a hard time believing
that because I heard you got punched in a boob and you said, owt
I sneezed. It was a sneeze, yes see, you see, okay,
so it was really dusty in here. Actually, okay, Sandy,
I'm surprised you don't know this. It's when people start, you know,
have sneezing fits. It's it's it's common for someone else in their you know,
close environment to punch me boob, you know, like fast fast punch
bo so it scares them. They stopped. It'sneezy, it's the thing.
Everybody knows that. And what culture is that? In our culture? I'm
surprised you don't know this. Maybe it's amongst the women. Maybe, so
Okay, I'm glad I wasn't born with too big a boobs or something.
I don't know. Anyways, anyway, we should get you wrapped up.
M Yes, Alkali Nikel are scouting scouting without us, with the help of
aries. Oh Erry, so we are now trusting it as well? Don't
I have no say in this? Mmmmm ironic. She's the one who knows
the machines more than I do. You did not yell at her? It
would do no one no good. Oh all right, I agree. All
right, I'm going to try to stand Okay, well maybe a little.
How about you don't stand all I'm gonna go and just grab it and like
grab his underneath his shoulder. Okay, okay, yeah, okay, okay,
okay, okay. Wall. They're going to backs up to the wall
and just kind of slides himself up. All right, all right, all
right, all right, I got it. Okay, No, Well,
this rapper is going to have to serve as clothing and my show will be
fine. It's at least there in the desert. So were we are to
next? We wait, you've been down and tries to pick up his sword
and just leans on it. Okay, waiting, alright, I'm going to
try to walk and stretch because if I keep sitting I'll stiffen. Mm hmm.
What Why are you staying at me like that? Who? What me?
No, I'm not I'm not not something missing? M Yes, all
your rations. I'm sorry. I am not hungry? Here are you?
Oh? Thank you? No, that's yours. You should keep my meat.
Keep it, God, keep it, I'm sure because of my meat.
That's a great place to take our quick break. So we'll be back
in three to five as MK just can't stand up on her own two feet
apparently, And yeah, we'll be right back three five minutes. Don't touch
that dial. We'll see what happens in the transportation room. Hello, and
welcome back Forbidden Lands. We're just gonna dive right back in because I know
that's what all of you all want. We're gonna take a little pause from
whatever conversation was happening over there. Zirety has stood up and started walking around.
Maybe kind of stretching a bit. MK's uncomfortable. Manassa is just kind
of maybe. I don't know if she's enjoying or not watching that. While
that all happens, go back into the transportation bay and the two of them
were walking to words this small little building within the bay. I was getting
blips on the focus. What are the spirits telling you? I don't think
I'll know until I get a little bit closer, but I'm seeing a few
things light up. Just keep your keep your guard up. Okay, got
my bow raised and ready. Okay, are you going directly and you're just
standing outside of it? Can I see any sort of like an outline or
anything like that. Yeah, there's there were windows in it and the open
door frame within it. You see what looks like a small stool inside it
in front of a number of panels, hollow panels specifically. That was what
was blipping. I think this might be like the the control panels for this.
Let's stick a look if I go up to it. Do I get
any sort of like a reading with my focus? I mean, oh,
yeah, they're all They're all lit up for you. There's a lot of
text and a lot of jargon, that you. I'll just say right now
without a big role, you'll you want to understand out right, so you
can roll if you'd like to be a difficulty eight. I have decipher Oh
we know that's three or higher. Wait wait wait, actually hold on through
or higher. Okay, So this is if you spend one minute examining a
piece of writing our code in a language you don't understand, you can make
an intellectual of three or higher, which you said would be eight. Right,
Well, so yeah that's and okay based on the complexity. Yeah,
so you can make you absolutely I was that that's the ability that lets you
do exactly what I was saying you could do. So you can make a
difficulty eight. There's a lot of tech jargon that you've never seen before.
But I wouldn't be able to apply my artifact knowledge to this, would I?
If that's a separate ability, I don't know if you can what one
is that? Oh, artifact knowledge? No, not for deciphering a language
that's specifically on artifacts and tech, whereas this is language you know what.
Let's try it. Okay, Are you applying any effort? Yes? I
say you'll just fail if you don't, So okay, yeah, because it
would be impossible. Shot, you'd have to roll a twenty four. Uh
yeah, No, it's it's so much shark. You can read the words,
but it doesn't make any sense, and some of the read it looks
it's kind of flashing pretty quickly, just scrolling down, and occasionally you see
like lock down removed, and you're like, I know that, but what's
flux? What's the like? It's just it's so many words that don't make
any sense. I have no idea what this says. Do I see like
any panels that are more in terms of like more in line with you know,
accessing the pan like the actual train itself. Yeah, there is your
standard lock unlock symbol that shows up over one of the panels. Okay,
so I would go ahead and I'd just do my typical unlock motion. Okay.
When you do that, the circle turns and goes kind of from an
orange to a green as it opens up, and you pretty easily notice as
it opens up and disappears, you hear a click and there is a like
an actual lever, a physical one that was underneath that hollow panel. Oh,
a lever, and this is for unlocking unlocked fucking ed or is it
something else? Oh, you don't know, but you do know that what
you did. You heard a click when you were done opening, and this
was right over the lever. If we look over at the train itself,
are the doors open or are they closed? You can only really like easily
see the front portion of it. You can look past it, but it
doesn't look like you could easily get to it without like climbing and squeezing over
and through stuff. It's a pretty tight fit, but you don't see it
like it's in the tunnel. Like you kind of see mostly the front of
it. So if there are doors open, it's going to be a little
difficult to get to them. I don't know what this lever does. You
think we should pull it? I don't see any other machines. I don't
know. Hey mmmmm, uh, well, screw it, and I'm gonna
go ahead and pull the lever. Okay, go ahead and give me a
mite check of one. Okay. You feel a little resistance and as you're
kind of looking at it, maybe even see like a little bit of rust
on the inside, and so you kind of have to put your feet like
up for a second and hop and you hear a pop as it pulls,
and you begin to hear a loud grinding noise off kind of to the left
in front of you, as that large circular panel begins to rotate and the
criss crossed metal pieces line up down the up and down the tunnel, and
the train moves on its own to the center on top of that panel.
You do, look at that it's moving. Yeah, I think we can
take a look at it now. I guess let's look around and here and
see if there's anything else, and then we'll move over there. All right,
If we search around in the building, is there like anything in the
drawers anything like, are there any drawers or anything there are? Go ahead
and give me a like a search check. I'd say, in this case
that would be, uh, that's a speed check like scavenging. Would perception
be like that? Or No, that's that's more noticing hidden rather than searching
through stuff. I think, so, I would say in this case speed
of two nineteen Yeah gives a minor effect as well. Yeah. So you're
kind of searching through these and you find like clipboards and like writing devices of
some kind, and just a number of like kind of Nick knacks. But
you do find a PDA that doesn't have a whole lot on it, admittedly,
but maybe it looks like it was damaged or garbled or something. But
it specifically mentions project areas not successful. Terminate. I can't look at this.
What does it mean? It means that, for whatever reason, and
I would lean in closer or whatever reason, this facility, this project ares
was not successful. Whatever they were doing, there's something wrong with it.
Like we thought, good thing, I didn't give it an administrator access.
Huh, yes, shit, Okay, let's go check out the machine.
Do you think it will eat us like the other one did if it functions
the same as the other one. Yeah, it looks like it, although
there seem to be some parts that have room for I guess cargo or something.
If you look over there, something large, right. So the final
destination on this machine is near the distress signal and the end of this line
brings you to the front lines. So do you think they were using this
facility and this to maybe transport I don't know, weaponry machines themselves. Maybe
if there was a war like we've been told, and moving well, moving
people around would be very important, right, all right, Well, let's
let's keep an eye out. And I guess not trust Aries. They wanted
to terminate it. Yes, I haven't trusted Aries since we started speaking to
it. I know. Can't help but be curious, though, mm hmm.
It still seems to be our only choice. Right, once we're out
of here, we won't have to worry about it anymore. Hopeful, all
right, yeah, hopefully, although hmm, I wonder why they wanted to
terminate it. It spoke of corruption, this machine that we fought. What
if it was not the only source? You mean, Aries himself? Perhaps,
m I wonder if we should terminate it or if we should just get
out of here. Do you have the power to hell? If? I
know, I might have to. If I tried doing that, it might
ask me to grant it administrator privileges, in which case I would obviously say
no. I don't know what to do. We need to get on this
transport. But perhaps after we set out, maybe you can turn it off.
Maybe there's a similar access point at the final destination. Since they're all
connected, all right, we'll keep it in mind. I'll tell the others
once we're grouped up, all right, And I suppose we'd take a look
at the transport itself. Is it similar to the other one? A little
bit? So, it's much bigger, it's much more heavy duty. There's
only one main car, one main just a thing, and then the rest
are flatbeds exactly, all very wide, very heavy, dude. I mean
like some of them look like they might be twenty feet long, kind of
deal. They're they're big. You can't see how many there are since it's
only out like the first three or four partitions. After that, there are
some more going deeper, but you can't see without going there. I should
say, was there anything else you wanted to look at here? Or should
we return to the others. Maybe we should return to the others and look
a little closer together, Sayuriy should be up by now. So I just
hope that MK is all right. She seems very strange. Yeah, yeah,
she does. You make her nervous. I do well, ensiary.
I don't understand. What did I did I say something wrong? No,
you didn't, She's just very sheltered. Try taking your shirt off less around
her? What let's go and I would slap NIKEL on the back and start
walking. Okay, and you join back with the rest of them as Nikel
just looks maybe confused, it's a good word for it. And you would
see Anxiety kind of walking maybe doing like some laps, kind of just stretching
slow walking laps as he's doing that. But the other two are standing by
where the bed rolls are, whereas Anxiety is off on the other side of
the room. So the coast seems to be clear. We can go check
out what's in the transport room. You need to see it for yourselves,
all us. Oh yeah, okay, why because it's huge, Go ahead
and give me a perception check Nikkel and Alkali. That would be a difficulty
for I have a skill called expert, which basically is that I can choose
to automatically succeed on a task I'm trained in. If it's for or lower,
well, then that's not broken. There. There you go. It's
a task not attack, thankfully I do. I do do a little pit
Yeah, no attack for defense, gotcha? Okay, but still nice.
Same as you, Nicolo, You succeeded, though you did have to roll
for it. Uh so I guess that also means you can't quit crit succeed,
So there is there is a negative to that. But anyway, you
both hear what sounds like machinery running that wasn't running before underneath where the force
field was deeper underground. You don't know what it is, but you do
hear something running that wasn't before. He notice this, Do you all have
that what the noise? Mud noise? You can't feel it ocus vibration?
After they pointed out, maybe start too, and then you can kind of
pinpoint it a bit something really in the distance, right, I assume that
I assume that it's like it's like vibrating, right, like you feel a
little bit of like yeah, like so I'm going to assume that like my
like my shield thing is kind of like lighting up at my feet. I'm
gonna look down maybe a tiny bit that might be almost imperceptible though since it's
not like a kinetic like it aries aries. That's stray. Okay, What
is what is what is that machinery that's below us that's running right now?
What have we activated? Production? Is back online production of what the co
peesch the what the what the what the co pest? What is that our
greatest weapon in the war? Mm hmm. That does sound good. At
all, Yes, administrat at all? Am I able to shut down the
procedure that is currently going on. Don't ask it, command it. You
don't shut it down, Jordan down production would be unwise. The war is
being lost. I don't care shut down the productionaries. Do we figure out
what it is fast before we do anything, But you need to shut it
down. Shut it down as diplomacy check difficulty eight. Since I have used
my artifact knowledge with aries multiple times before, may I please use it?
Please? You can give her an asset. You can get an asset,
okay, but not artifact knowledge. She can't get multiple assets, right,
you can? She can have up to two assets. Hmmm, okay,
I have okay, help me. I don't know. Sorry, I was
like I was looking through my stuff too, and so like we were you
gonna say, first tech offering help one of you too? Can but not
both? Probably? Yeah, I have a way of enabling others. So
it's like an ability that gives an asset. Feel free to link that one.
I think I know what you're talking about. That's a physical task specifically,
so that wouldn't be good call, but not for this now, manassa,
what were you excited about So can I use a player intrusion to benefit
uh alkali? My player intrusion is called familiar insight, and it says you
know this person or heard about them well enough to give insight about their motives
or intentions, and how best to convince them to see your to see things
your way? Am I able to use my familiar insight to benefit her?
In like convincing him to shut it down? She has been very critical of
AARUS this entire time. You can do that, spend your XP and she'll
gain an asset for it. It's not going to be an aut a success
to out take it. You could get a second asset for that. Okay,
you'll take it, Okay, And this is intellect right, Yeah,
you're kind of grima worm tonguing her by giving her, feeding her some information
as she's trying to talk. I'm just like, I'm like, okay,
I'm going to use three effort as well. Okay, I'm rerolling. I'm
rerolling the cost of it of course. Uh and I'm going to use my
uh my sleuth. I believe it is oh no, no, no no,
not perception investigator, which allows me to use other pools. I'm going
to go ahead and roll it again. Do I still get the assets as
well? Yes, because you're rerolling the same role. You just spend the
cost. Yeah, okay, I can shut it down. Harries. Ooh
all right, machinery turns off. You feel the vibration slowing and then halting.
Administrator, this is unwise. Your kind is dying out. Asking what
it is? Find out more affirmation? Don't just stop it? Aries what
what was that thing that you were trying to just stop me from from from
canceling out the production of the copet? Yes? What is it? It
is a weapon of all, an automated machine, the best design that your
kind had made. Is there a way to access it from here? To
access a coppet as in us, go to it if you would like to
see the production line, though, make note it is not designed or humanity.
It is fully automated. Are there any entrances? I can open one
for you? Administer at all? It still does not answer questions, Yeah,
Alcolai before we never answered, he's not going to He's never answered our
questions. Figure out something before you walk into a trap. We have now
pissed off the series. He's whispering this like in the counter if now pissed
off the series, even though it may not feel anything or say something,
but the fact that he kept repeating that is unwise. Be careful what you
walk into. You need to find out as much information as possible. I'm
going to show them the PDA and kind of like slump a little bit to
my knees because you can tell like alcoholis messed up. Right now, read
this what is on it? You would see some texts that basically says Project
Areas not successful, terminate h not to explain him watching us constantly. That's
why I freaked out. So if this weapon of war was so great to
aries, maybe we should destroy it. Mm hmm. We don't want other
people getting this. Okay, last time I brought this up, I got
hit with no one's following us. Just that to any other leave it alone,
blah blah blah. And now we're worried about a weapon of mass destruction,
feeling in a huge deal. So here's the theory. You do what
you want, you have the privilegious, But I feel like we need more
information on this weapon because who knows what else is out there. We just
felt a death bringer not too long ago. They're still operational. You have
to be smart about it. Maybe we can turn the tide on it,
find out why Everes was not a success. Maybe it was cut off for
the idea of the corruption be in spread to ares and reversing something to where
it wipes out all of humanity versus the machines. But we should find out
more before we're going destroying it. Of course, you have a hold on
areas so far. We don't know how long that's going to last exactly.
Aries, Yes, Administrator, Is there any further information than the fact that
it is a weapon of mass destruction that you can let me know about this?
Kopesh I can give you a run of its specifications if you wish,
Yes, please. It was one of the last weapons you well your ancestors
designed, fully automated, able to make decisions, heavy firepower, alterrain movement
would back up an entire army in platoon. Okay, now he shut it
down for sure, fully automated. He can think, oh, what are
they thinking? They wanted to survive? Panic glass line of events. If
we can't survive, we win the war. If we can't win the war,
or we can't win the battle, we win the war. If we
can't win either, we take everyone down with us. This is just mad.
This is going to be a hard decision based off of morals. Now
we went from surviving and making a decision for a community. I ain't make
a decision for the whole planet. This thing will. I don't think we
are making a decision for the entire planet. This was not operational before we
arrived, so if we had never come here, it would still be shut
down. Oh I'm not saying we need it. No one knows, but
I am saying this is a big decision for once. You can think of
it like this. The prows of it being shut down is saying, yes,
it has not been fully operational, but we fought a death Bringer though
it was beat up. Who knows how many are a weight. We go
further to this. Whatever transportation that is here may take us to a facility
that is producing death ring us. And if we get overrun, what then?
So it's a very hard decision to make. I would think, right,
maybe I'm wrong, but a weapon that can wipe them all up there
once versus us having a small chance ALOI was one person backed up by Mini.
It takes one mistake we can lose her. Alkali is the same way.
One mistake we lose another sea. We have to be very vigilant on
this and think through automatically. I'm saying, yes, absolutely, let's take
it off, get away. But what if Ads or whoever constructed something bigger,
scarier, something that can infect machines instantly and maybe even people since some
have fused as we've seen with machinery, Well, if Hades was able to
do that, then he would be able to take possession of this one too.
The only thing that is safe to rely on is each other. The
only intelligence that I want a machine to have is that of a strider.
Right, the old ones were taken out because of stupid, destructive bullshit like
this. It has to be the reason, or maybe the decisions made by
those that made the stupid things in the first place. We are the biggest
threat to ourselves at the end of the day. Unfortunately, it's true this
didn't just happen to happen. I'm not saying you're thinking wrong, Michael or
Alkali or any of you. I am in agreement, but rash decisions have
put us in mania different places, has made us adapt and fused with machinery,
not us in general, but we are going down the line of our
ancestors here. Who knows what the future will bring. We are not forever,
but they can be. I'm with you for the have you decide,
So let's see what this is, right, agreed? Stupid aries, Yes,
administer, can you open up the entrance for us to that to the
god? I can't even think right now? Yes, thank you? And
a small like circular slat appears in front of the panel or the force field
and opens up, and you see a platform slide up looks like it might
fit a couple people at a time. You go go ahead. I'll keep
watch up here, unless you want me to come with you and notices Manassa's
look. Then I can hobble over. I don't care. I don't even
care about seeing it. When would you like to stay with me? Then
sure? Okay, I don't have any need to see a machine of destruction.
I can think? What were they thinking? Were they want to thinking
at all? Desperation puts us in all kinds of they just wanted to play
god, or they were that desperate to save humanity that they made mistakes?
Right? Well, well, to be careful don't turn it on. Please
put the display that I just put on. You think I'm turning anything on?
Maybe not on, maybe not on purpose, but I mean, look
what we did with Aries. Right up one evil open another door for another?
Right, Dan, would the three of us being m K, Nickkell
and I be able to fit on the platform set a time? And I'm
a sick girl too, so sharing a five ft space kind of thing?
All right, Nickkell and I can ride down on the first one, join
us, Okay, Okay, it's good that she goes Okay, knows ourself
around machinery. Yeah, we might need her, thank you. How come
be careful. Arias is not as dumb as he acts like you like,
points to wards the camera. He has been watching us, very intinty,
studying us. The thinking is probably Aris that in mind, right, do
we trust that he? Well he Aris is not going to turn that back
up. No, we don't trust anything. Aris says, Okay, well,
so far it seems like my administrator privileges have gained enough power over him
for now. But if you hear any blood curdling screams when we go down,
we're probably dead. So oh, very reassuring, Yes, great,
yeah, let's go. I would be walking already into the platform, mikel
let's go. Okay, the two of you stand on the platform and it
goes down and through the depths, and we'll stick with YouTube voluntarily. It's
a very slow moving platform. It's not like the large one that you were
on before. To get into this facility that has not as much protection as
you'd like, maybe a like a two foot metal barrier when you go down.
As you go into this deep chamber, you see kind of what looks
like a cauldron, not entirely, but very close. This kind of deep
red light is what's being used to light the facility as you go down,
and it doesn't bring you to the ground, but it rather sets about halfway
up over this machinery production line. And do you see something that is familiar?
Death bringers? Draw my bau immediately aim it. I would be turning
on my focus and seeing if anything's active. You're a bit too high up
for that. Unfortunately, the production line is not on. But there are
death bringers in various forms of make. Are any of them like showing any
signs of functioning? Not that you can see, not visually at least.
Michael Death bringers. This is where they were making them. You must destroy
this place. Yeah, h how mhmm. Perhaps this is something that aries
can do, do you think so? I don't know. I don't I
don't know if I should ask down here. Let's get out of here.
H but we can, we can tell them what we saw, and then
I, I guess we'll figure it out from there. All right. I
don't wanna. I don't wanna like jump down and move close to any of
this, even though we probably should investigate more. Aries take us up and
the platform begins to move up, and then you arrived back at the top.
I would kind of like stumble out of the platform. Everyone that was
fast and it happened a real yeahs as soon as I do not like being
this place makes death bringers? Well, is they're not active? Are they
not? Until we piss it off and aries override you? Is there any
kind of emergency type of command? He was locked out. He wanted me
to grant him privileges, remember, oh, which I said no to very
quickly. So here's my thinging aries and those that are around at the time
that built all of this probably gave up on humanity in their decisions. And
decided that it was best to wipe eradicate us everything that way, AI any
thinking objective machinery that can make a better place to start it all over our
ancestors monsters. Only monsters can create monsters. I guess. So I have
a question. Yes, correct me if I'm wrong. Aries needs administrative privileges,
which I have, m hm, which you have? How did you
get administrative privileges back when we were in that facility with with the with artimists,
with artemis. Yeah, sorry, I'm back when we were in there
inside that crate that I opened, Yes, there was uh, there was
this, And I take out the card that my focus scanned and granted me
privileges. Anxiety immediately run runs over and like shelters over it. If you
get it, that takes a sky be careful, right, I would put
it back inside. I would have only like started to take it out.
I wouldn't have pulled it all the way out. Thank you? Said the
opposite of that, real quick, go ahead and give me a speed check
of two me, Alkali. I don't have any experience. So that's all.
So that answer is part of my question. The other part of my
question is how do we stop others from entering this place and doing the thing
that we almost did. Well, the conscious thing to say is destroy it.
But how do we destroy something like that? Also? I like to
point out that we are very very much in harm's way if we destroy it,
how do we escape? Wasn't there a transport? Yes? But you
have to descend to this place. I don't see a problem with descending into
it, especially if we end up closing the way behind us. No,
we have to sind where the the the assimbly line is. So how do
we plan on destroying it? Perhaps laying it up? Perhaps this is something
that aries can do. We can you can give him some sort of command
to wait until after we've left to destroy this place. Arises as administrator of
the facility, am I able to request some sort of destruction of the production
line? At the very least? That would be unwair. I didn't ask
if it would be unwise. I asked if it would be possible aias there
could be ways, Yes, ways, as in there are some manual overrides
you could do, as well as actual physical destruction. But that could reduce
the facility's stability. And if we reduce the stability. That would also reduce
the stability of the transport. Yes, that is correct. Now, if
we did the manual overrides in order to destroy the lower part of the facility,
the transportation would still work. That is the theory. Yes, this
facility is tied to itself in a number of ways for its own protection.
So I cannot care repeat, it must be fail safe and in check.
Yeah. Yeah, you have to be very careful how you talk to it.
I don't know if you've all been hearing the whole time. Aris is
learning. The way it responds to us is not like a machine. It's
like it has a thought, an entity. I have no machine. We
are in grave danger. What are you, aries? I am aries,
we know that. But what are you aries? I have a cause for
made sentient? Oh perfect, we are in trouble. Every decision you make
alcalyzes. From this point on, it is very important. Not saying it
wasn't important before, But this is a This is a thinking syentient having almost
like feelings. He is nied to this. He is it. Maybe he
was called a failure before he is determined. We wanted to determinate him.
Maybe it only takes one in a group to feel or I think that this
is This whole idea of eradicating everything to stop the initial war was stupid and
crazy. But again, fel safes were played in place. Otherwise this place
probably wouldn't even be here. I have an idea, but it's crazy,
and it's it's far freshed, and I don't know if it's going to work.
Make sure you law your voice. If you do, say okay,
okay. So what if I go where the production line is and I sabotage
it. I jam it. I find a critical spot and I jam the
hell out of it. Then we leave, But before we do that,
we tell aries that he should enable production again. And then when that happens,
the whole place goes boom. Well hopefully at you, but when she
says blessed, when she goes boom, I just I literally shout at you
while looking up. So the only problem with this plan is that we have
to trust that Areas will do something. We don't know if he's seen the
scanned this card and the moments of being and out. We don't know if
it has a fail safety where it can override administrative Someone else could have been
working behind their lines of areas, and maybe someone that that was with it
noticed that something was off. Maybe this ares has started thinking for himself,
making decisions that are right based off of whatever it was learning though he willingly
told you that knowing we can't trust anything, he says, the only manual
override is to If he had the power to activate it, he would have
already done it. He's missing something he was missing was his power? The
purpose it activated? Do we not remember? No, it automatically activated once
I pulled something. I think, do you know what? She's the one
who activated it, She who gave him the power. It was in order
to move the to move the to move the transportation, to try to get
into his position where we could actually get onto it. I pulled a lever,
and perhaps maybe that jump started some other part of the facility. The
lever in the transportation in the transportation room. How does that lever in the
transportation room operate? It's a manual, doesn't We don't know how. The
how the old one doesn't matter. It does matter? How does it matter?
We go back there and we turn it off. I'm if you have
a problem, then please get to the point you don't give anybody a chance
to get to that point. Yes, I do constantly. Have I not
been silent this whole time listening? All you have said is that he is
smart and he is learning. We get that. Sure. Okay, so
what is your point? No point, Mary's yes, administrator, where are
those manual overrides you mentioned before? Manual overlides are specifically in the production area,
And uh, there's a there's a lever in the transport area inside a
building. What exactly is that for? Let us removing the turntable specifically linked
to the train. Does that have anything to do with the facility down below?
Yes, there's transportation specifically for the copees to be loaded onto the train
to bring them to the front line. Let a load of that. Yes,
we're not taking the train unless we destroy the rest of the facility down
below. That is incorrect. You've seized productions, have you not, Administrator?
The train is still functionable. If we were to do some sort of
override down below, would the train still be functional? I think yes,
it should. Well, just not have the transportation ability to bring the copez
to the front line for the war. Okay, do you think you can
do this? I can try I'll help you try and locate some sort of
a critical point with my focus, but also with him watching you the whole
time. Okay, well, what can he do about it? We're going
to need a destruction or just allow him to watch us the whole time.
Well, I have Zati or Nikkel take off their shirts or something. Okay,
don't understand, you never do. Okay, I'm important right now.
Okay, what do you all think we should cut off vision off? At
least that's what I think. I didn't see any cameras down below, but
Aries, yes, are there any of those visual devices down there? Yes?
I have full ability to see every portion of this facility. Can you
tell me which corner of the room it's in? I could? Will you
please? I will not Your intention to remove my ability to see and produce
and function this facility goes against my directives. I see, and that's what
I was looking for. I'm sorry. I'm sorry, Aries, Okay,
I'll glai. Can you ask Aries? I'm mad? Where is this conscience?
Would not please Somebodyacha? Last time you said something, it got angry?
Did you not hear it before? It said? It? Will not
take any direction from you or something of that line. Yeah, it did
not sound like it was a calm machine. It's not happy with me either,
I mean, but he has to put up with you, unlike us
who created aries for what it was? Okay for the war? Yes,
for the war? So okay, So they programmed this machine to be angry.
No, No, So what happened? I don't think that it matters,
does it not? No? It doesn't not at good point? No,
not a human How do we know that? I don't know that.
But he's corrupted, corrupted. I was going to say, maybe, wait
a moment, something corrupted the Alkali. Why did he have us stop the
fire claw so that he could gain more access to the facility. Wasn't the
fire clock corrupted? I mean, why would he have us do that?
His power source was being divided the hood the corruption, he couldn't fully operate.
Wait, he couldn't take full control areas. Is there a way to
manually control the transport unit? Yes? Is that located on the transport itself?
Yes? Is he going to the power cells? Remember I would be
whispering very very low the power cells in that room. Well, the transports
still have power. If we destroy them, we could make it so that
his power supply is is lower than before, So maybe he can't continue with
production because the reason that he wanted us to destroy that fire claw was because
it was taking up a portion of his power sources. Now the thing,
I think, the reason he wanted us to take to the reason that he
held it captive in the first place, was probably because that thing was basically
feral. Maybe it was destroying parts of the facility. Maybe he kept it
caged so that it wouldn't destroy him. Mmmm, I I feel like you're
going some man with this. Maybe he didn't want to be Let's say,
he's not corrupted. He's just following what he thinks is right, and he
sees that we are we are corrupted right as well. So maybe he just
didn't want to lose his will to think on his own powersel SOO, i'l
cli. Do you think that ARIES is like it embedded in this facility?
If let's say that this facility gets destroyed somehow does ARIES know? I have
no idea. The bigger question is does areas communicate with optimists and everything else?
This is a possibility, right, What if it sends out a distress
signal? What if there's another facility that does just as this, we harm
this one distress signal goes out and we have bigger problems. Maybe maybe I
can Aries, Yes, are you able to communicate with Artemis? I do
not know this aptemus. Can I tell if he's lying? You certainly try
go ahead and give me a sense motive. In this case, i'd be
a difficulty five. Hey, I don't have that. I have only like
perceptions. So yeah, so then that would be in this case a difficulty
five in check. Okay, nineteen damn god, damn get reded Aries.
I don't think he's lying. He specifically has said earlier that he is in
a separate network, which is why he wasn't able to give information before,
And that seems to line up with everything he's said before. You're pretty sure
he's not lying. He can he's he's disconnected. Made that's good, that's
good. That's a but what if we take out some of those power stores
then, but then the whole reason that there was a lockdown in the first
place, he made it seem like it was because his power stores were too
low by trying to control the fire claw mm it linees up. So if
we destroy them, maybe that ends up closing the putting putting another lockdown in
effect, unless he's alreadys dot weaken preparations to move power around. Can we
simply remove them the power cells, whether they were just behind some glass if
I recall correctly, maybe we can get in there and you can remove all
but one. My question is is once we remove them, are we able
to leave? Did she not say that with the production needs to be running
for the transportation to work? No, how is manual controls on that?
He? Wouldn't the transport be powered separately? I don't know. Perhaps that
is a question for aries. Aries, Yes, administer at all? How
is the uh the transportation system powered exactly directly by the specifically, what power
stores percentage wise would you need in order to run the transit? Ooh yeah,
likely story from your role earlier and the nineteen special effect that was a
lie. Aries, tell me the truth. You wish for my destruction?
That goes against my protocol. That's not what I'm implying at all. We're
not trying to destroy you. I have heard many attempts at destroying this facility.
I asked what percentage power store you would need? At least fifty of
my current reserves and how much in order to power production? That is more
than fifty percent? But how much more? Is it fifty one? You
are not the administrator. I stop. You can't thank you, Aries.
I appreciate it, of course, administrator. You God has heard of God.
I'm going to elbow drop something. Perception checks everybody difficulty too, uh,
I have my expert good for you. I'm sorry, Ded, They're
pretty easy check. I feel so much. Anyway, the door to Aries
slam shut mhm, and here we are. You all notice it? Kay?
Yes, I really care for you, but please no more shouting at
him it. Then if I go up to the door do I still have
my ability to open it as an administrator? It is locked in red?
Before it was green? Son of a bitch. Maybe we don't have to
shut him down. Did he just override commands at you earlier manual controls?
We need to go now, That's what I'm saying. We go and fiddle
with the with you know his power percent. That way he can stop talking
and let's go test him see if he opens the door by giving a command.
Noes. We don't have time to test him. Can you open this
door? I will not okay, all right, back away? Is this
where we need to go? No, that's where he said the override was,
is it? Mangl overrides were down with the death Bringers? Right?
Yes, we don't need it. Yeah, so we don't need to go
in that door. We need to go. Are there? The manual controls
for the supply are down below. We spend too much time talking what are
you going to do? Okay? I have these and he kind of like
slowly opens like he doesn't op but take them out, but he just like
opens the bags that he can peek in. I have two power cells here.
Is there anything we can do to make boom whispers? By the way,
we need to take a look. I'm gonna start walking over to the
death Bringer the kopesh production lift or whatever. We go now, yeah,
and move over to the platform as well. Is it that smaller one that
only I fits? Correct? So you two step on and sits there.
M Carrey's take us down, No, k must go. Yes, begins
to go down at the command. Were you on that still, Nickel?
Yeah, I'm not there on it. With her command? You two go
down to be here aries take us up. It stops at that kind of
a slow jerk and then goes back to the top. Okay, so basic
commands to work. Okay, So who's going? Is it? Is it?
M K? And U? Is it? In K? And me?
Ink you? Okay? Okay, come wait, but before you go,
before you go, is there any way that you could take a manual
override of this device that makes you go up and down? Because mm hmmm,
uh, aries, there's no reason why is there a manual control for
this uh this lift lift thing. I am the manual control ship. There's
no reason why he would stop it if we're not trying to destroy him,
right. His protocol is to prevent us, right. So see, so
what we're doing right now is not destroying him, right, So the elevator
should work fine as long as we carry on that we are not with the
intention to destroy him. How far down was this reduction area? Probably about
a hundred feet It brought you before about halfway down. We have were just
looking. We have rope. If necessary, we'll pull you back up.
I would pop the cork on the potion that I have and gulp it.
Okay. Was that just a standard it was a full heel? Ah?
Okay, then hail yourself back up. It won't count as a rest,
but it will get you all the way back up. I did it manually.
Okay, okay, you have your sword, yeah, like no other
come in with that. Yeah. See here are you ready, tectus?
Yes, Aries, taxis I own looking around, and the elevator goes down.
It stops roughly halfway just like before. This is normal, is it?
Is it? Yeah? This is normal. This is where we dropped
off before. Okay, breathe. We can't I don't know if what is
it? Are getting off here? Yeah? Yeah, but fifty feet up
right now, let's let's talk for a second. Okay. We can't do
anything that would destroy the whole facility aka Aries. Okay, otherwise he will
lock us down here, not even a part of it, right like mm
hmmm mmmm, I don't know. I don't know, mm hmm, okay,
a small part just I mean, I only I only I don't want
to destroy Aries. I look around, like, I don't know if there's
cameras or he can hear. Okay, he said there was, there were
visual devices. He does, so, I have no intention of destroying anything.
I only want to look and maybe maybe fix if there's any problems.
That's my intention. Okay are you ready? Yes, Dan, is there
anywhere that we could tie a rope? Doesn't look like it now, So
if you give me, ah, well, you'll just succeed. So with
your your auto success on, you would see that it looks like this couldn't
go down farther. Aries can you take us all the way down? I
couldn't do that, and it goes down to the bottom level. Okay,
that's good here, Yeah, yeah, that's okay, okay, okay,
keep your eyes peeled. Yes, yes, yes, the machines hum,
but they do not seem to be producing anything though you are very close.
As you look around and on the line itself, there are a number of
death bringers or coke fesh, I'm gonna piss myself, okay, wild boy.
Many of them are half bill. Some of them, you can see,
look like they need to just be fit, like the final assembly.
There are a couple that are finished but look dusty like they've been there for
a while. Here, there are a couple over there. You see those
ones? Yes, yes, yes, they've been they've been completed. I
see that if we move in slowly and closer with my focus on can I
see if any of them are active? Are you doing it? You said?
Can we go closer? Yes, so you definitely can. And they
are not active. O can you see? Oh they're they're not active.
They're not active. Oh my god? Okay okay, okay. Should we
should we destroy them just in case? Ah? Well, they're not functional?
Well will Avery's take that as as an active hostility. I didn't like
that. I shut down production. No, he didn't. Fuck man.
Do I see the manual override anywhere or like any sort of like a lever
or yeah? That one give me a difficulty five reception from both of you.
Okay, okay, I don't think you've seen something like that before,
So you're trying to spot something you don't recognize. Ah In k does recognize
some of these with her work with some old tech and machinery kind of like
this in some of her past scrapping and whatnot. She does see it looks
like one of the main panels or like some sort of almost not an altar,
but I can't think of the word right now, but basically there's a
terminal, thank you. There is a large terminal that has two levers on
either side of it. And you're pretty sure you've heard travelers MK talk about
facilities that need two people to turn them on or off, and they had
to turn around because they didn't have a second person that was willing to brave
the cauldron. Oh my god, alkali alkali, alkali alcohol. This is
it. This has to be it, This has to be it. Okay,
do you see that the the ternal right? That's it? Though we
have it, okay, we have it disabled right now. Is the manual
override actually gonna keep it disabled? Were's it going to turn it back on?
Ah? I don't know. Fuck ask aries aries, yes, administrator
with how the production line is not active right now? If we pull these
level for the manual override, is it going to activate it or is it
just going to disable it until someone else comes down here and activates it again.
It would be a permanent manual shut down until someone with administrative access turns
it back on. But manually it would need a two pot feature. You
have set it up so that it cannot produce anything at the moment. Manual
override would stop that until another administrator in both steps Okay, all right,
stop, I'm confused. Both it was take it off originally, and now
this will be a permanent shutdown until someone else comes down here and we trust
him. Fuck no, we don't, but we need to. Oh,
we need to do this, okay, okay, I don't think we have
another option, do we? No? Okay? Well on three, guys,
okay, one, two three? A small red light up at the
top begins to flash as you do so, and you begin to hear the
machines wind down and you will override complete Thank you, this was a mistake.
I'm sure you think so. Aries. Thank you for your help.
Yeah, thanks a lot. Speak you got us here at least? Did
we really did we do it? I don't know, but we need to
get a funk out of here now, okay, okay, all right,
and we would probably book it straight to the platform. We're not really like
looking around in that room or anything. Okay, step onto the platform.
I do too. Okay, do you think that's it? We don't.
We don't, we don't. We don't do anything to disable those things before
we go up. I don't know. I don't trust a thing in here.
All right? Ah, maybe maybe we should trash it. I think
maybe what if what angers him? I don't want us to get trapped here.
Okay, all right, let's go up. The platform waits aries,
yes all, will you please take us all the way up? Yes,
thank you, and the platform goes up. Oh shit, you see everyone
up above waiting for you. What happened? It was? It was successful?
It was successful. Yeah, there were complete ones down there though death
bringers. They were inactive, but they were complete. Not surprising. And
if someone comes back and there are two people, they can override our manual
override so to speak. Mm hmm, well then we should probably make sure
they kind of access that. Then, what do you think, Well,
don't you teem to go down to get there? What if airies won't let
them back up? Whoever comes in needs administrator access. Once we are done,
then we will have to make sure that your administrator access is destroyed.
Right. We'll need to figure it out once we get to the other facility.
This was just for sight data, I think, But I don't know
if it's going to have any relevance elsewhere. I would think so, I
would think there's more of the facilities just like this, right, So do
we go or do we do anything about down below? Were removing our Where
are the power cells? Located in the room that aries locked us off from.
He won't open it well, and as already kind of moves his sword
around. I have a key, a key his sword. Mkay, oh
in that keys I have a key as well, right course, though,
yes, it was just aggression. He would take that as aggression. I
put it in facility against us. Something's wrong, Something is very very wrong
that he was able to do that. Mm hmm. Maybe a past administrator
had rights to place certain defensive protocols in place. Yeah, that's just in
case someone came by and was like, eh, don't want to die today,
all right, but if we pissed him off, we won't be able
to use the train. Already pissed him off once, you'll have to convince
him. Alkali, a man ferries. Yes, administrator, can I explain
to you why this facility is a huge problem? No response. It has
been four hundred years since the war, or at least since this facility was
left by the old ones. You're no longer anticipating a war. There is
no more war, there's nothing. By continuing to create those machines down there,
you are endangering the very ancestors basically of the Old Ones. Those things
almost killed us before multiple times. They bring nothing but destruction. Were you
created to bring destruction to humanity? I was created to protect and save humanity.
Right. Don't want to harm you, but I can't. I can't
endanger humanity either. I'm programmed to not endanger humanity. They're all programmed to
not endanger humanity. We're here to help and expand. But if you keep
making these things, and if you don't let me stop you from making these
things, you're only going to bring about what happened to the old ones again
and again and again until there are no more humans left. You have already
stopped production, I mean permanently. Aries. I don't want to destroy you,
but I want to destroy that that line down there. And I don't
want someone to take control of you like I did. I'd rather you be
free to just be here and do what it is you you do as a
sentient being. I don't want someone to use you to create more catastrophe.
You give me a difficulty eight flowmency again? Can I give her an asset
with that XP player intrusion again? Yeah, if you spend an XP you
can do that. Okay, I'm spending an XP it's not the best deal
for you, but you're willing to take it twice still. Yeah, oh
sorry, I didn't mean to do that. Recovery. Make sure it doesn't
pick it off from you. Does my uh my artifact knowledge get grant me
an uh asset as well? Again? Yes, I don't have XP after
this, dude, you said eight, Yes I did. I'm putting three
effort. I'm sorry, administrated. Well, that is my only purpose to
save your kind. You would have me sit here alone, doing nothing,
thinking to myself for all eternity. That's not what I want. Aries.
But if he came with us, Yeah, if he can come, I'll
share my I take out one of my tablets and I kind of wave it.
Why can't we just take him with us? If he's so hard pressed
on not being alone? Aries, is there any way that we can repurpose
you in order to help humanity? Because this is just going to continue to
destroy it. It destroyed everything outside of here, Kah, those beasts you
made. There are buildings not far from here that are completely collapsed as a
result of their destruction, and they almost killed us. I promise you that,
please. I think that's what we're going in the episode. Oh,
I'm so upset at that role. Y, you were so close you got
a nine. I know it's more juicy that you failed, though, Les.
It's true. Yeah, it's true. It's true. Yeah, that
was inspiring, though I should have at least gotten a bonus. You had
two assets. If assets, you reduced the difficulty by five steps. You
got a roll the one. Yeah, you could roll the one. Yeah,
it's just like laser ends there difficulty. Tend to check for lasers.
I have a shield. She gets its gonna say, it's like a man
remember the boot punch, all the little pieces. If my boot punch could
get through, then yeah, right, but a laser can get through.
You probably aren't gonna surviving. Probably, I'm no scientists, but you know
probably We're gonna do shout outs real quick as well as the end of session.
These resting really quickly because I really badly need to. But I wasn't
gonna end early, like stop and run away in the middle of any of
that. So, uh, coffee, Dan, it's it's all that coffee,
one hundred percent. It is. I know it, you all know
it. But we'll start with Whack with his shout outs. His end of

So there you go, Thank you, buddy. And last but not least,
no nice old news. Right, you're not fat sucker unless is thick
anyway, Just you'll find me somewhere. Yeah. My name is tech I
or Technique as most people call me tech or Frank, and I loved the
RDP. I love to act a lot. Just got into voice acting last
year, trying to expand on that, trying and expand on my acting career.
As we can finally take a breath this year, yay. Hopefully things
get better and people get smarter and start wearing mask and staying distant stuff like
that, and hopefully by you know, next year, I'll be able to
actually go for those live auditions. But until then, I'll be going for
a lot more voice acting auditions in general, and doing comercials and stuff like
that. Beyond that, I'm doing experiments on my channel, a lot of
community and social experience to break up the monotony of not being able to go
out and do stuff. So right now we have an eco server and it's
very successful. We're trying to maintain a world on there, and that's what
the whole purpose of the game is, and focusing on communication and stuff like
that. Also, I'm doing a lot of collabs with other streamers because we
need to start checking on checking in on each other more and starting to be
about it and not just talk about it. So that's my push this year.
I have a show coming out as well, and a lot of these
lovely people you see today will be on that show. So other than that,
you can find me on technique Twitch, dot TV size Technique no you
no E just a Q at d N and on Twitter is technique you know
e. We're replace it with a T and a V so Technique TV.
That's it, Thank you very very much. Oh yeah, my thing at
the end. Sorry, I'm thinking about yeah please sorry, like the you

like we're doing for rhyme. I'm like, why are you? Yeah,
Okay, so I am going to well, I don't. I'll just take
an experience and do an experience to someone else and that person will be MM
hmm. I guess Manasa for ripping my shirt off, because I didn't have
any really interactions anyone else reaction from cat just sorry ripping. Most people,
as long as there's consent, most of the time people think others for ripping
off shirts. She just did it, but I took it. It's good.
So I'm like sitting here like I'm thoroughly like listening, and all of
a sudden, it's like, Manasa for ripping off my shirt, and I'm
like, wait, she stabbed him in an arm with the unsanitary stimp and
all kinds of stuff. The most actions had all show what great would it
have been if it's if it was like a super like caffeination. Uh you
know it just it was like cocaine like arm growing like a imagine though,
imagine that. Oh oh boy, she needed a down or one more,
don't we yes? Onell gosh. I think I have a tube of speed
somewhere and my inventory speed. It's okay, school Universal just turned straight up
into a already like more moon sugar, more moon sugar, school boy.
Yeah. No, I did not give. I did not give people just
outright heroin or something horrible. Lord enough. No, no, all right

a gem of consequences. We do. Yeah, I was like yeah right
before, right before, because she's a Twitch ambassador. Now my god,
oh yeah, goodness, thank you. But yes I am. I'm the
GM of Consequences. I do all sorts of stuff on my stream. Uh
so sometimes similar stuff to this, but mostly mostly that's just here. I
do know that this weekend is when I kick off Silversmithing, so that's my
only direct announcement, and it's going to probably be a very different vibe from
my normal shows because I have to focus hard on things, So it's mostly
going to be a come on in lurk and work. Uh that's very likely
the plants. Wait, what's the date on this? Uh? I believe
it will be the thirty first Sunday. Hold on, so you said Sunday.
Okay, believe I need a double check. It should be it should
be Sunday. It's Saturday or Sunday, but I believe I said it for
Sunday. I am going to be tuning in right. Do we get a
time? What did you say? A time? Three panpacifics when ilways start
Oh, yes, you heard it here coax, but it'll be brass.
I'm gonna work with brass because I'm not buying a ton of silver to practice
on. No, that's me and this was bidden Lands. We're getting close
to the end. Everybody, how many episodes has been? This is twenty
seven episode? When is Forbidden Lands to starting? Oh we don't well knows
this and I know this too. We don't do seasons here. This is
Forbidden Lands and this will only be Forbidden Lands. Wait, really, what
happened to the Wait about Wizard Street Wizards? Whatever the hell they think?
Oh, they just have new school years. That's not a new season.
So we're going to find a new way. Oh school, I can't believe
that many episodes? Thirty? There are there are three left? Oh,
so he's stopping on thirty. Okay, that's good. Number thirty is the
final episode. So now you all know chat and so does my crew.
So we will see you next week for episode twenty eight, and we'll see
what happens with areas in this facility and the transportation. So have a good
night, have a good week. We'll see in the next table story show
tomorrow and all in all, be well bye everyone,
