This episode is dedicated both to my Tyino ancestors and all of my Tyino brothers,
sisters, cousins, and siblings across the diaspora. Audiologue entry number four.
Not sure where I am right now, but it's been the perfect place
to think. There are these lush green trees all around me, and this
slight blanket of mist that softens all the rough edges. This forest, no,
this mountain. I don't know how I know, but I know this
forest is on a mountain, and there's something about the energy here that I
can't describe. It feels right in a way that I've never felt before,
not like something familiar, but like I know I'm headed in the right direction.
I've been walking for hours, purposely avoiding all the fold steps and just
thinking there's so much I still don't understand, so much that I there's someone
else here. There's someone else here, No, not someone, it's not
one person, it's two. But there isn't anything about their form set,
looks and remotely unlike a person. The one on the left has this undefined
cluster of warm green energy that keeps shifting shape and form. The one on
the right is similar, but their energy is like an angry storm cloud passing
over the sun. Crap they notice me. I don't know how they don't
have eyes, but sorry for intruding. I'll leave now wait a little,
sky, Do not go my sister, and I will not harm you.
How do you whoa? You both look like me now, I mean not
like me, but human. It is not our natural form, but when
we acquire when needed. I am at the bay and this is Guabina chicks,
Guabina checks kato oh Inaruati, Nika Manicato, Bukoma Gueba. I apologize
for my sister's rudeness. She does not trust outsiders. What was she saying?
And where did she go? And what are you? So many questions?
You are just as Wisaka Chuck described. You mean whiskey Jack. You
know where he is? You know where I can find him? Why did
he? If you can hold the flood of your questions, you will be
able to receive the answers. Skylar as one marked by Wisuka Chuck, he
was rule bound to deliver your soul unto the plane of the dead when you
passed, but that would not allow you to do your work. That is
why he did not come for you, and you must not seek him out,
not yet. But aren't you? My sister and I belong to a
different family, one that was also nearly destroyed. Because of this, we
share the same goal as we seek a chalk, which is the nature of
our goal is such that it cannot be revealed to you without its being destroyed.
Ha didn't know I was that powerful, dearest sky How little you know
of your own true self? My own true This is your journey to walk,
your time to wander. Pay attention, listen and grow. Wait where
are you going? Concentrate, Skyler? Listen, really listen? Can you
hear it? Can I hear? Wait? I do hear something? What
is that? Your path has opened to tea and I must take my leave?
Wait, no, come back alone again? That's what I wanted,
right, Why I came here in the first place to process and listen?
This voice is familiar. It sounds like like April. She sounds so distressed.
What could possibly be? Oh, looks like her computer got hit by
ransomware. Oh, some people. Let me just dig in here and cut
this here there, she should have full functionality and access to her files.
Again. Yeah, she looks relieved. Wait, she can't see me,
can't she? Okay, No, while I'm he here, I may as
well tighten up their security defenses. Hmm. This is weird. Looks like
a thread that traces all the way back to No way, this is a
six Shift Incorporated watcher. I can see it now, plain as day.
Nah. Six Shift Incorporated will not be spying on this family ever again,
not on my watch. Snip what is this? Oh? This line runs
back to the face. No way, I'm snipping all of these cables,
and let's build up these defenses a bit and there. That should protect this
network from regular and supernatural hackers. Hmm. I wonder if I can work
something into protect this family from fishing scams too. What what is that?
That thing just based into the room out of nowhere and it looks angry.
Hello there, super menacing? They looking entity. I'm gonna go. This
