you know, little things here and there, a few scars. It looks
like I lost an eye. I want everyone, I want I want everyone
to know that we all we all love and stand g here. But she
did message me and tell me that to me, Or looks like a fuck
boy, and Malik looks like a beefcake. So where's the lie? Cold?
I'm not mad about it? Wow? True, I'm not mad about
it. Wow. Wow, this show's rated. The whole went from soft
boy to straight up boy. Right yeah all right, well, uh that'll
work out a lot when your tel's bottom, he's not even he defend himself
kick. I'm good friends, you know. I just want to say,
like the famous rock songs say that thick bottom boys make the rock and ship
go round. So you're all just you're all just straight taking shots today?
What is on? What is going on here? Wow? I'm better take
I better do what Mike said, and take this away before who let's get
Saul seeping here. I am hot for all the right reasons. All right,
friends, here we are back in space. It's a year after Seul's
arrest. Good news is he's not in jail anymore or prison space because he
was busted out by his best buds. Their first few hours together or a
bit tense and contentious, a lot of unanswered questions and distance oftentime doesn't make
the heart grow fonder in this case, it uh it allows some things to
kind of simmer and seed. And we learned, thank you chat. We
learned a little bit about some of what each one of them's going through,
uh soul Malik. And in the midst of sorting things out, something happened,
uh Non. They're not exactly sure what, but whatever it was,
let something out of the canister, Lamar's canister, and Lamara didn't really return
as the Lamar we knew. After a daft attempt, they managed to get
her back into her jar. And and uh, y'all, both of these
chats today are killing me. Y'all killing me, private chat, grand chat,
public chat chat. All of that to be said stuff to Lara Jar
acutely straightened up something from space, big mut piece of gold they got brought
back on board, and its result was, well, we don't know yet
until this moment, because the five of you standing in the cargo bay,
standing around this large pile of junk that's been dumped here by a magnet that
still like that kind of dangles in the ceiling, and there it is,
this big gold idol. It was past, i believe, from Alia to
Tamir, and upon Tamir's artificer role on this item, something began to happen.
And the dark corners up this room, and the shadows from the boxes
and the items and the junk, gray smoke begins to kind of whisp and
whirl about and takes form and shape into that of two very large dogs.
They stand on all fours their backs and hair stands up almost kind of spindily,
like, yeah, I'm going to give everybody a free action. Oh
you know what, I'll just go ahead and say this to Mirror after having
the idol, And when these dogs appear, you see his eyes roll into
the back of his head and he drops to the ground. Now, what
do you all do? Was the was the cargo interior cargo door. Was
it closed or open? I mean to space. No, the one from
the cargo bay through the ship as I would think that one's probably okay.
So if we look at the map, I think there's a I think there's
a oh waits, oh, I see what you're saying. Yeah, nope,
you would go down, so let's see. Yeah, No, I
would say it's probably closed. That's this little door right here that goes down
to the next floor, and it looks like here's a flight of stairs that
go maybe up to the next floor. I'm gonna guess. Okay, so
yeah, one goes down because really this goes out what level is this?
This is the bottom level? Yeah, no, that's level one. Yeah,
so this goes out out of the ship. Level two builds up.
So you take the stairs up to what is basically all of the rooms and
the mess haul of the main table area. So I would say there's an
open stair case there, and then this door that goes outside is obviously closed,
but the interior door is closed. Where is open? Sorry, you
gave a lot of description there. He lost me for a second. There
is a flight of stairs. It opens up to the next floor above you
there's no like I mean, I guess you could run up there and seal
the door if you want to, but it's it's like an arch way.
It just stands open to the next because it's just the open cargo bay,
you know what I mean. Yeah, but it would have to seal,
right, because if you open the exterior of the ship, would everything we
could sucked out? Then I would say it's not currently sealed. Okay,
cool. If if you want to know if you need to close the door,
the answer is yes, Yeah. I want to know if there's like
any because like I wasn't in the cargo room, and I want to know
if giant space dogs can come eat me outside the room if the door's closed,
they're just gonna I thought, you're just gonna get KP. Yeah.
No, only only only Alia and I think talent uh were in there and
sewel, I don't forget you. Soul and I were the last people to
go. And I don't know that we were. I don't think we were,
because if I remember we, I walked behind Malik and that's right,
the two of you walk down to see it happen. Yeah, uh,
that's right. Okay, Then I would say, no, the door stands
wide open. That's you. That's how you see the manifest that they're down
like over the railing in the main cargo bay of the vessel. Interesting,
okay, and we have a free action. Yeah, you get one free
action. How far is Tamir from the door. He's in the middle.
He's down there in the junk. Cool. That's my favorite spot for him
to be. He's he's like down there with with Alia and and and Tal.
I mean I've seen Tal do some crack pot shooting. And Ali is
a big lady, so they got it. Uh, Malik Malik Malik has
no idea the combat provisioncy of Alio, but he's just gonna assume big ladies
got it. You know, he knows Tale has it. But oh yeah,
I'm gonna run in and like baseball slide towards Tamir. Okay, so
we see you. Yeah, I'll give you you kind of you like bolt
down the stairs or maybe you like use your hands and like pick your feet
up and slide uh and uh yeah, we'll say you slide down, you
hit the grounding and kind of uh glide across the middle cooking floor to his
side. You can see the idol now lace free of his hands. Fantastic.
Okay, Well, for everybody's knowledge, I am going to to to
put these creatures into play, I have to spend two darkness points. So
for the first time, I would say, for the first time since season
one, I am at the lowest darkness points that I have had. Let's
go, hey, darkness points, I have one corruption. Okay, I
legit thought when you said the lowest, if though you're gonna see like two,
you know, but six, I think your definition of low it needs
to reevaluate ten. Six from ten seems pretty good. They don't seem convinced.
Chat, Okay, moving on, anybody else will take connection. Yeah,
as soon as Telsey's the dog, I'm gonna quick draw my How close
is this? This is pretty sharp. They're coming from the you can tell
they're emerging from the shadows. So they're coming from the corners of the room.
It's a cargo bay, right, Yeah, this cargo bay, so
like they would be coming from like over here, from behind me. You
know what. Actually, I'll mark them so that you know where they're coming
from. One of them is coming from behind this this set of crates here,
which causes like a dense piece of shadow, and I would say that
the other one is emerging this service station room. It probably has the lights
out. So this bottom like southwestern corner, it's emerging from here. So
those are the two the two creatures. Okay, I I'm sorry. I
was just gonna ask where the idol is in the room. Great, the
idol is because this is where like the magnet drops down and lifts everything up.
So the junk is over that big door. They're in the center.
So we'll just say, like the idol is here, and that is where
you would see to Miror and now Malik. Okay, go ahead, Aris,
how would quick draw the vulcan pistol and shoot at the closer one?
Two to mir Okay? So this one here, I'm sorry, the one
to the north that's coming from behind the crates. Yeah, that one.
This is the idol, So yeah that one. Okay, Great, take
a shot, make a range combat attack. Roll. Uh. This is
that perfect time where I promise that I would do a little bit more explaining
of things. So I'll take this one nice and slow. Uh. Tale
is going to roll to hit because this is a dice pool system. Tale
does actually need anything but one success to actually make that happen. This game
is kind of deadly in that regard, in that if somebody successfully hits you,
they successfully hit you, and then we see if your armor can mitigate
the damage that that hit is going to do. Go ahead, okay,
So in this case, you see as it begins to like, way,
do you want to reroll? I didn't add a plus one on that?
Oh okay, then I'll roll another D six D six six A three.
So you have a choice in this case to uh, basically give me another
darkness point and reroll, or except that the the blaster shot or the shot
did not hit the creature. You know what, I'm gonna give you a
darkness point because you have so few of them. You know, I'm just
trying to help you out, all true, You're really just looking out for
me, Aris. Yeah, how thoughtful. Come on, It's true.
I appreciate it, all right. So I've added I've added rolling failure.
Okay, great, so the icons and maybe we even see town just like
stand up, I'm adding you did you turn your eye on? I did
not turn my eye on. So I'll say, if you want for this
last role, that could basically be what you did. Just turn your eye
on. So I believe the eye adds a plus one if you want to
add another plus or another D six to that last roll to fingers crossed,
why not? Nope, nope, damn all right. Even with that,
you see, as it begins to manifest, it hasn't taken full corporeal form
yet. It's kind of it's made of like a mist and like a smoke.
And the blaster shot or this shot brings out and it pings and hits
the wall, doesn't actually hit the creature from what you can tell. And
it's as close as I might get. Sorry, then I will essentially just
try to keep my body between Tamir and the dog. Okay, So yeah,
you kind of put yourself kind of there in the center of the room
making sure you protect ta miror Okay, I did, and I get him
out? What is this? That's it? Nice? Oh? Yeah,
I see, I see she's like to take action. Uh, definitely as
soon as she hears alas Tall say that. How close is she to Tamir?
Probably standing right over him, I meant, other than like standing on
him, but right next to where his body is there in the center of
the room. Yeah, so she definitely like picks him up and like throws
him over her shoulder. Okay, I'm gonna have you making for rolloky.
I don't believe Tamir is a very large fella, but do you know deadlifting
a person is on an easy task? Alright? Click yanyang? Okay?
Success? Uh yeah, Maliki watches Alia just like whoops your brother right onto
her shoulder. He's six foot tall, He's still He's a tall fella,
but he did him right onto your shoulder. He thick. He the Mario
to the Mario Luigi Yeah, big, okay, so utass Now I'm never
gonna ever see anything of Mario. Damn it. Mike oh a fan art
of Tamir as Mario please and and Mai Mai well oh Luigi Luigi? Yeahlike
is more Luigi? Does that? Wait? Can that? Does that mean
we can have to al as Peach? And can we have Alias Lamara is
definitely Peach. I don't know, no Lamar. Would I better be or
I'm gonna be mad? You're toad for sure? Yeah, alternate reality in
space. That being said, Smir successfully gets off the ground and onto Allie's
shoulder and Ali, and you can make for the stairs if you'd like it,
say, it'll take your full turn to like pick him up, but
in this case, you know sure, yeah, and then oh okay,
yeah, that's my turn, right yea. I will say, you see
the league slide in and like go to grab to me or like he's pulling
him out, and then just oh yeah, fops, what are you doing?
She's like, wait, why are you trying to beat here? It's
such a big lady. So here we are. I'm gonna say, Soul,
you're the last person to take a reaction if you would like one.
I don't have no weapons on me except my Mercury sword, which I'm fine
with, so I would like, am I able to make an attack this
free action? Or can I go into at least overwatch for primarily looking at
the one in the south quarter because I don't know if drawing my sword is
like an action or not. I don't remember. Yeah, I would say,
I'm giving you a free action basically, so you kind of are setting
yourself up for success in this combat that's coming. So you tell me what
you'd like to do, and I'll let you know how far we can take
it. I would like to if I would like to, Actually I don't
want to attack, I would like to. I would like to stand in
front of Alia, Malik and Tamir if for in front of this one and
just reading my blade, okay, my mercury sort and I want to turn
it on like a lightsaber and gold and just some very that's cool. Yeah,
fah. So we see Tao and Seul take point as Alia gets tam
Or out I'm sure, followed by or at least back on his feet.
Malik. I've been the three. You stand at this end of the room,
So will you face this guy down here? Uh? And how you
face this one up here? As it emerges and they take a bit of
form as we will go into an initiative, I need everybody to roll.
I believe initiative. I always do this. It's a weird one for this
game. Let me look at the character sheet. I can tell you just
rolling it is D six is, but it's observation because it's who reacts first.
I believe in this game, it's like a weird so we roll observations.
Yeah, cool beans. I need to look that up, but I'm
calling it right now because I want to move forward. I'm pretty sure it's
observation because every time I'm like, oh, it's sicks dirty, it's not.
Oh, let's go leak on quittici side coming back in hot? What's
coming in? All right? What do I do? Panic yells A big
lady again? I don't know? Response. Check my one job leak you
I was gonna carry yeah, protect hack things and protecting me my two jobs.
And I can't do either of them right now because it's a big lady
took my brother. Good big ladies. Okay, so I'm gonna definitely leak
in this case. Is the one God all right? So for those of
you that got the all got one, so that would have been Alliah tell
it's gonna be okay, you got too, so it's gonna be bleak.
So yes, yes, uh let me just hit Let me hit this real
quick. For these games fail fail fail fail, come on chat chat with
me? Yeah fail. Okay. So out of the two of you,
your pool total for these are the same. How is that possible both of
you have four for your pool total on observation. Yeah, y'all can roll
off or decide. I will leave it up to you. I'm also down
for you decide who goes first if you'd like of the remaining people. Besides,
this is between of Aaliyah and Tao go first. Oh, I'm still
carrying mis Okay, you're still in combat because we're in we're going into combat,
so you still need so that's okay. So it'll be Aaliyah Tao,
and then the two dog goes okay, all right up? Uh yeah,
he like looks at all. Yeah, it just kind of shrugs because he
doesn't really know what else to do. And how you said this this the
statue was thirty centimeters. I don't know how to metric. Yeah, like
a foot in some change. Yeah, that sounds supposed to be pretty heavy
too. Yeah, yeah, it seems very heavy, possibly pure gold.
It's yeah, I right under a foot. Yeah, I since I slid
down all baseball style, I think in because there's an action economy, I
think I'm gonna spend one of my action points to draw my weapon out of
the small of my back. But then since I'm already on the ground,
you just see him like plant his hands and put both feet towards this object
and kick it as hard as he possibly can towards the space door. Oh
okay, so you want to kick it back? Oh nice, Okay,
Yeah, I'm kicking. I'm kicking this towards the towards the towards space.
I'm the space door is closed, but he's kicking it towards space. So
you have two options here. You have two options here. I'm gonna do
one of these. You can kick it to this big, big one here,
which is where all the junk is, or you can kick it down
here to this smaller door, which is like a person's size hatch, like
this is where talent to mirror we're entering exiting. I mean, I assume
all the junk is right around the junk door. So he's gonna he's gonna
try to kick it towards the person door. Okay, cool, I'm still
going to require a role. Sure, uh, some kind of force role?
Are you more interested? I was gonna say, I'll take force if
you feel like that's the best option for him to get it there. I
mean it's not, it's the worst, because if not, then it's gonna
be dexterity. I'll take that one okay, Okay, one success. Okay,
That's that's all you needed. It's clunky and all of you hear it
as it clatters heavily across the floor. The beast sees it kind of coming
that direction and assumes that it's coming like you kicked it at it, and
it jumps in the air rather dexterously and kind of lands again on all fours
like a creature. Just uh yeah, just north of it, or just
actually probably over here. Okay, soul, you will all right, well,
ladies and gents, I'm going to continue with my original trajectory and swing
at the demon dogs over here if I'm able to, if I'm allowed to.
All right, yeah, yeah, you totally can stay, We'll say
so. Looking at your action points, I believe you have three action points
to spend. There should be helpful little hand out, so I think,
yeah, crossing is one, and then you should be able to mail attack
in close combat. Done, so, I would say you're gonna have to
cross over to it, so you actually, cle are gonna need to cross
all the way down here to get into close combat with it. But you
can do that. Cool beans, Cool beans? Am I swinging a melee
combat? Melee combat? All right? Here we go, Come on,
you gotta hit first and then we'll deal with the armor. Got you got
you all right, I'm gonna go who all right? One limited? Okay.
You bring it down and you hit this creature, it gets to roll
for its armor, which in this case I believe and I'm gonna double check,
is a four. Oh boy, I'm sorry, it's a three.
This is why a check because dot doesn't remember everything, so it rolls three
D six. It failed all of them. So how much damage does the
mercury daggerty? The mercury damage does three damage? Yea. Even though it
may look like smoke. As you bring the weapon down, do you see
the mercury splatter as it touches something dense darkness against the kind of flesh of
this creature and you slice down and you hear it? Cry out, everybody
an earshot. I need to make a roll. I'm going to have you
make a damn Everybody needs to roll. Roll for empathy. It's always something.
It's always fucking something. It's space, it is always something. Everybody
roll for empathy, included, practical every yep, everybody that's an earshot?
Oh my god? What what? Okay? Okay, okay, okay.
The good news is you all hear it screech out and something begins to happen.
The shadows in the room become really kind of augmented and begin to kind
of tilt in odd ways. Uh, you can feel as if your your
your brain is too large for your skull. It swells. Good news you.
I was a waste of a darkness point because nothing happened. Yes,
but nothing happened. Tis okay, I still have six Okay, but there
is uh moving right along. So that was your turn? That makes it
Alie is turn? Okay? Uh? I think ally at this point,
uh man, couple of options. I think she failed her empathy, I
mean a culture check last once. She doesn't really know what the idol is
still at the moment hmm, yeah, that's true. Yeah, I think
in the moment though, while we're still in combat. Can how does blessing
work exactly? Again? Is it just inanimate objects? Can I do it
for people? Or like? What is it is that? Your actual is
that your actual ability? Your mystic power is bless no, no, my
mystic questions peminition. And then one of my talents is blessing. Oh okay,
it's a talent. Yes, there are things that you can do with
that is the answer to your question. I'll have to look it up though,
because blessed will have I believe you can once. Usually talents are once
per blessing, once percession. You can bless another PIEC, giving her a
plus three to one action. The receiver of the blessing must be within close
range of view in combat. In parting the blessing is a slow action and
I get one darkness point every time you do it. Shit cancels itself out.
Damn it. Uh shit shit shit shit, and how to think.
I think at this point she would like to first get Tamir out of there,
and before she does, though, she probably tries to figure out what
exactly this thing is again just to help, especially I think Tall, because
they've been working together and she's been training Tall, so I kind of like
help point where first question is where are you taking him? Are you taking
him to the med bay that is attached to this floor, are you taking
him up a level? I think that's well whatever, the basically first off
out of this room while still being able to like, I guess we'll return
back to assist because you know, obviously she does want to be completely out
of range, so maybe just a bet med bay nearby. Yeah, totally.
So. You you basically picked him up from the center of the room
and you bolt to this kind of south uh the southern door actually, and
you you probably see it, maybe you even jump over it as you're carrying
him. The idol is it slides past your feet in combat and you make
it to the other side of the mid bay and you kind of place him
down this turn. You're able to put him down here in a moment.
Now that you have like a second out of this room, I will let
you make another culture check on not the idol but the creatures. Exactly cool,
so you can make a role for the creatures this time. Oh yeah,
okay, as you lay to me, ror down. There is something
it's happened to you all the time. Your mother used to call it fits.
It's the reason why you were a little shunned from your village and why
Showy came to get you. These feelings, these premonitions occasionally, but in
this case it's more of a feeling a memory. Your mind tends to give
you what you need sometimes exactly when you need it, and you remember a
story. As a little girl, you asked your mother why all the buildings
were round, and your mother said, because there are some beasts of the
darkness that cannot enter a round room. For an a round room when lit,
there are no shadows, for there are no corners. And as you
kind of come out of this memory that from a kid, maybe six years
old, you remember this vividly, and you remember as you got older that
story developed, and specifically the creatures that emerge from the darkness, the ones
that are afraid of round rooms. There is a tale of something called the
Hounds of Triedes Tyreades. No, it's tr Tireades ti r i d s
Tyredes, the hounds of Tyredes. They are horrible beasts. They stalk various
places is for various reasons, but they are said to be unable to both
enter or exit a round room. That is your turn, tal How's just
gonna keep shooting because she it's oh gosh, it's shadow demon dog thing.
Yep, did you get shadow demon dog. That's pretty that's pretty close.
That's about it. So you'll fire at the one kind of to the north
of the room. Here, go ahead and give me a am gonna turn
on my eye because seeing the next one didn't The last one didn't make it,
so h how kind of try to reset herself? I turn on my
eye. I believe that gives you a plus one yep to the shot.
Make sure you add that extra dynamic hurts anything. I'm nervous for this range
combat attack. Oh mean too, come on to don't tell us that puts
up? That's it? Busy success one success, hey say so yeah?
Damn okay, So you hit, they're going okay, so two, So
they're gonna roll for their armor, which is a three die pool. They
failed. Also, they're gonna take the full two points of damage. And
so you did three points of damage right at three points to the one that
was the south of us. Yeah right, perfect, okay. I just
want to make sure I got my numbers right here. Okay, perfect again.
The creature cries out. All of you expected this time and are able
to cover your ears because all of you succeeded the last role. But it
seems that every time there's something about their presence, the uh, the vocalizations
and things that they do, it calls upon this this feeling of death and
despair. Can I also fire a quick shot because I fired a novel shot?
Yes? Correct, and Yep, you sure can, because that would
have been two of your three. Yeah, So a quick shot means you're
going to take a negative, so just negate the eye bonus Okay that you're
getting because you're it's a quick fire versus. So there's a yeah, hey,
another another round of successes. Okay, so they got one success on
their armor, which means it goes from two damage to just one damage,
is how that works. So it still takes it though. You get that
first shot off, and y'all watched te fire a second quick shot, fast
as lightning, hitting the creature one store. Yeah give you now it becomes
Dogo is turned Dogo one is the kind of one in the northmost room,
and you see as it finally has gained kind of corporeal status in these two
shires. Shots fire off into its like shoulders. It's snarls and growls,
and instead of saliva, it's dark, embering nothingness that like escapes its jowels,
and it bangs and pushes all of these barrels and crates that were stacked
in this corner, creating the shadow out of the way and kind of stands.
I wouldn't say on all fours, but or on two legs, but
it does kind of stay on all fours, but it has this kind of
hunched over presence, and it's going to rush towel and try to take a
bite out of her. Yeah, that's what happens. It runs over and
it's going to try to bite tw taw no, that's not no no.
So it will do a bite, which is gonna be a melee combat attack
in this case because it's they're not firing your gun, so one success.
So tal, what kind of armor are you wearing? Oh? I think
you're muted. Yeah, I'm not muted right now? Better can hear me?
Okay, you're better now, sorry, I can hear you now.
Okay, right now, she has an excessert on and I'm looking for the
because I didn't have thinking Exso if you have the full exo suit on,
it's gonna be much harder. I think that's like four armor because it's like
a beat bulky. Yeah, because I just came in from outside and in
time for this, I'm gonna call a four because basic armor is two.
It's three. I was muted three, it's three, thank you, three
arm and minus two dexterity. Okay, well, so far Town's not trying
to run anywhere. She's just holding her ground. So so roll three D
six. Okay, so you feel all that's okay. It reaches out and
you feel it bites through the like suit you're wearing and into your leg and
does two points of damage. I'm not gonna say it necessarily rips away your
flesh. Instead, it rips away a chunk of the suit that's between it
and you. But you feel its teeth rake across your skin, kind of
flaying open with these razor sharp teeth. So take two points of what is
known as hit point in terms of trauma. It's not mine trauma, it's
hit point trauma. Saucy Dalgo number two did not like this mercury blade that's
dripping all over it. It reaches out and tries to take a bite at
a soul, you know, So it succeeds it two snaps and bites your
leg. Do me a favor and tell me how much armor you're wearing.
I have light armor, Camo units, top grade military. I was kidding.
Two D six level one ragged pants, yes, fresh out of shower
towel. Go ahead. For some reason, I wrote four so I'm erase
that and roll So just two D six. Okay, Oh, that's is
damage removed. Oh I'm sorry. Oh succeeds it bites into your leg this
camo, for whatever reason, it seemed to help a little bit. You
don't feel your leg crunch under the pressure of its jawels. Instead, you
do feel the warmth of blood. It has broken skin. You'll take a
point of of of hit point damage to whatever your actual hit point total is.
We'll look back around. So there's there's only two. There's only two
dogs, right, there is only two? Where is the one in relation
to the trapdoor that I kicked? Is he still right next to it?
I would say so, Seul is kind of right here in front of him.
Sul be more inconvenient, Sorry, Bud, I mean, okay,
he did technically run down this flight of stairs. We'll say he's on this
side of him. He's on the east side of the creature. He can
be wherever he's its side. Well, if you were going to take a
shot, I'm trying to help you out. I'm not very typical. Yeah,
he's very much not trying to take a shot. You see, Malik
bolts towards the trap door, and he like looks. He makes eye contact
with Seoul and goes as he runs towards As he runs towards the trap door,
Okay, I'm gonna give everybody a chance to roll for observation, to
see Malik definitely about to open this whole cargo bay up into space. I
will say. At this point, Aliyah and Tamir technically in this other room
and the med base seals off, and Towel's still in a space suit and
twin a leaking space suit. Yes, but it's better than not having a
space suit at all. I failed. I just got pitted by a dog,
So I'm not paying attention to you. Malik say to shake this horrible
dog off. Okay, tell you see it and you know exactly what the
hell he's about to do. Aliah, I'm gonna give you a chance to
see it through the med bay window on this door right also, and I
you're not gonna able to do anything, but you'll know what's coming so you
can plan for your turn basically. Okay, So no, yes, you
can definitely get barts out. Yeah, I feel like that happens, right,
So you say, Malik, no, as soon as I'm like hitting
whatever plunger opens that trapdoor and like kicking that fucking idol into the hole.
Okay, what are you hanging? Okay, So here's what happens. You
can open this thing. It's just a button you're gonna press and then it's
gonna and drop out into the blackness of space. Yeah, he grabs onto
whatever is nearby, a pipe of things, and I assume there's like straps
and ship everywhere. It's a it's a you know, he's gonna grab onto
that and space that fucking rock. So you do hit you hit the button.
Yeah, there's a moment where time almost slows down. You see Malik's
hand like hit the big yellow button. The yellow lights turn on in the
cargo bay. You hear the voice very slowly come over the like intercom system
to stand clear of the opening doors, evacuating into space, clear of the
opening doors. Do I have a moment to say fuck? I would say
you can definitely say fuck. Okay, Actually, you know what. The
moment it opens up into space, you don't hear. We don't hear you
say fuck. We just see you say fuck because there's no sound and devoid
of space. Sounds about right and what should have been a small hole that
that is a like a five foot like five foot hole. Yeah, all
right, roll, I'm gonna have you roll a force check to hang on.
That's going to have to be Taal, Malik, Sul all have to
roll. Oh that's true. Yeah, tw you're probably okay. So it's
me Sulk, Suel and Malik. Both of you have to roll for force
to hold on and not be sucked out into space. Let's go, y'all,
this is not the time to fail. What's Aliah? When he hits
the button, you hear the medbay magnetically lock and seal you in because that's
how it works. O god. Okay, so you successfully graveled you hold
of something. What would you Yeah, I am gonna I gotta give you
doctors point of the way, so I might as well make it cool as
shit. I'm going to activate my talent, which is called the faceless one.
It's the talent that might get to bullshit whatever he wants, which is
my favorite talent in any game. Stupid fade is on your side, giving
you the benefit of getting to change a single concrete detail in the scene.
So as I'm holding onto some kind of strap absolutely getting sucked into a hole.
One of the large crate them have slams into the wall and locks the
hole enough for me to knock get sucked through it. I would say,
yeah, it doesn't steal the whole entirely. Oh no, yeah, we're
still we're still venting oxygen. We're venting oxygen. Like, but this crate
does get slide over by sheer luck as the gold idol squeezes through and sucks
out, ripping off a piece of this metal crate between the pressure of space
and it's trying to be evacuated. You look into its face, Malika,
This idol, of course is literally no faces were placed with a beautiful fist
sized gymstone. But fade is on your side and the faceless one well doesn't
show his space. The box slides over and as it drops out this gold
idol, the creatures in the room stop biting your leg, stop nipping at
you, and turn and look directly at the hole and they make a running
start. This one's much closer, and it gets kind of like sucked out
like Jumanji style, like like through the hole and all of the darkness like
out. It literally like pulls inky blackness from the shadows of the vessel down
here, followed very quickly by the second one who dives for it, sucked
out, and then the box miraculously finishes, plugging the hole. It won't
hold, but it is. There's like a moment the idol is gone,
the dogs are gone. I feel like you can see Blink is pulling himself
up towards the button, up these straps, like yeah, there's like because
the edge of the crate was taken off, there's like a hole. It's
like the size of a baseball, and it's like a lot of pressure.
And she's like, it's just like space is like sucking, and so Malik
is like pulling it. It sugging out your shoes. You hit the button,
We'll say, because you used your talent, talent, oh do it,
and so there you go. I feel it kind of Uh, it
takes a second because there's a literal crate in the way, and it may
take an extra push to get it out. But the door finally closes.
Everybody that was hanging onto something where their feet might have been dragging kind of
plopped to the ground and Olie you hear you see it decompress like on the
hood deck on your side of the cargo bay and the magnetic locks release.
Well, taking them in really really bad. Okay, not touching things we
don't know? Can we can we not touch things that we don't know what
they are. Let's let's not touch things that we don't know what they are.
New new ship room. Don't touch it if you don't know what it
is. I agree. Don't touch the things that we don't know what they
are. They're not even in there. They're in the room. They're in
the other room. Yeah. Well, I kind of start holding my bleeding
arm and try to get into the menbey to if Tamor and Alia are okay,
yeah, you pop the door open. My blood hurt. Ta mirror
is standing, or say Samir standing. Samer is laying on one of the
beds, one of the two beds in here. Aliya is Alia, Oh,
yeah, what are you doing? You're muted? You're muted. There
we go h She she knows that, well, at least Tamara is safe.
From now. She does notice Tall holding her bleeding arms. She can't
do much, but she goes and runs and grabs some cause and kind of
just tries to help patch up the wound if she can. Okay, do
you have do you have medic curgy? Is that not? Okay? That's
okay, that's okay. So so here's what you can do. You can
make a WITS roll and you are in the med bay, which gives you
a plus two to this role. So you can make just a basic WITS
with the plus two. Hold up, let me, where's my high medicuri
as zeros? How do I plus? Just add two to the positive section
modifier? Correct? All right, and then I'll just roll? But wait,
doctor right? The ship could use a good doctor, too bad.
Yeah, WIT's plus two, WIT's plus Okay. That works a lot better
than yeahs. Yeah, okay, let us success towels. It looks like
a dog bite. It's already kind of looking a little infected around the edges.
It's getting that blackness to it, as if the flesh is kind of
rotting. Did you treat it pretty quickly? Yeah? It's nasty. You
pretty you treat it pretty quickly. The space suit, though, this is
not some minor patch like it took a full chunk out of the leg of
this space suit, which means it's gonna the whole leg will need to be
replaced or it's pretty much useless at this point, but uh, you patch
her up for in this case, I'm just gonna say how much damage to
do? Two to you? Ris? All right, this is my leg?
Okay, so I I edit my statements. Yeah, like to like
yeah patched h two points to the leg. Yeah, so you've stopped still
bleeding, You've healed it up. You can walk on it. It's not
broken. It's just going to take the bite a few days till to heal.
But you can probably get rid of any stress that you took from that
took a little beating you. Yeah, well, you know. Another day
in the office is tamire. Okay, I'm going to check. I may
need to help. Can we Yeah? Can we not touch anything that we
don't know what it is for sure? Anymore? I think I'm gonna have
to talk to him about that when he wakes up. He likes touching things.
I should have been more careful I had. I had his gloves on,
and I didn't think about it when he asked for it. I should
have taken them up and given it to him first. But I need you
to help. Let's do you mind if we work together to find out what's
wrong with him, because I don't think this is just your simple medical issue.
Yeah, I don't think so either. You know how I've been working
with him to try to communicate over distances. Well, even if we can't
wake him up, we might be able to talk to him. That's perfectly
valid point. I'm what do you do have? What do you two share
is unprecedented, So we're in we're in an unknown waters right now. So
whatever you think would work, I'll follow, I'll help guide. Yeah,
I'm going to have or are you trying to do proper medical check on him?
Or are you trying to make a mystic role? I would say more
of a mystic because that's she that that first aid is the limit of her
knowledge and right, that's like maybe if I put something to stop the bleeding,
this might help. Is her level of medical tell the connection is with
you. Yeah, so Aliyah can help you in this case. It will
give you a plus one for like her also using her mystic abilities to kind
of help charge yours. You can make a mystic ability check or your mystic
power check. I believe it uh one limited success. Okay, the two
of you have been practicing this the good news is unlike most times, you're
not under a lot of stress at the moment. You're just trying to like
figure the situation now, so you have a chance to really breathe and take
this moment in and you take his hand and you try to let your mind
go blank so that you can hear his And it takes a minute, but
in your mind's eye you begin to see something. You smm, You begin
to see something. It's as if you walk on space itself, empty void,
Your feet don't touch anything that you can recognize as kind of emptiness,
and way out at the end of your line of sight you see to mirror.
It's interesting. He's not in his space suit. He's not dressed trying
to protect or hide himself. He stands there and kind of an everyday attire,
as if this is you would know, the best version of himself.
And he stands out looking over the vastness of space. And as you maybe
join his side, do you walk over to him, Yeah, I'd at
least try to touch his shoulder. His shoulder, he doesn't seem to notice
you. There's no like how about this, there's no acknowledgement of your being
there. He simply stares ahead, and you watch as you see a shooting
star, large chunk of something that begins to burn up in the atmosphere of
a very green and blue planet. Smear and oh, I'm sorry, yeah,
yeah, you speak in no response. I just kind of watch and
I get pretty close to him, kind of linking arms. He can't doesn't
seem to be responding or know I'm there. But even if it's just because
he can't respond, maybe he does know I'm there. And there's again that
vast silence as this star are hits the atmosphere and burns up this big chunk
of something you can't quite make out what it is, but rather beautiful in
fact. And then the two of you do well, you do best.
You begin to see through the eyes of somebody else shared linked vision. Literally
you see a helmet. It wouldn't really mean much to you, Tao,
except you saw this helmet that night at your sister and you went on that
last emission. It was accidental, but you know this helmet. It's how
clearer than before. And I set of hands and black gloves pick it up
and slot it on as it passes over like the head of whoever is wearing
it. You can see part of the face and a backwards reflection of the
interior side of the visor of this helmet. It's Kasha. The last you
saw Cassa. She was, for the record, impaled upon a large piece
of rebar in the swamps of Kula. Her face is very scarred, still
healing in certain places, only a shadow of really who she probably was.
But she stands at a table and you see through her eyes. You can't
hear her words muffled as people talk and communicate, but no, and when
you look to maybe register with Tamir, he's not there anymore. Holy your
hand, it's just you looking through the eyes of Kasha at a table.
Battle plans are laid out amongst it, lots of blueprints. People you don't
recognize standing around, but they plot something and you slowly fade out of this
shared moment or this vision. These eyes from Kasha, and when you come
back to me are still lays there, breathing stable. From what you can
tell, his pulse aaliya while they were doing like there was no there's nothing
to show that he's in pain. He seems to be lost, maybe a
state of coma, as some people put it to the mind is active,
but the body is not so well. Malik, you may have witnessed part
of that if you poke your head in the med bay, But it really
doesn't take that long mirror minute maybe two total to how it felt like much
much longer for us, and looking down, I just say, it's it's
almost like he's lost in divisions. I would aliyah, hear this. Oh,
I'm saying it out like yeah, okay, okay, it's like he's
lost in divisions. I saw him in in space and there was something burning
up in the atmosphere but green and plant, and then he was there,
but it was like he couldn't see me or hear me. And then we
were looking through the eyes of someone else. And I look around as soul
or Malik in the room yet, how long has it been in a minute
or two, I would assume like Malik is probably coming towards the door,
still breathing heavily. I feel like I would I would be like pretty much
like not really helping Malik, but kind of just making sure he doesn't collapse
and just kind of following behind. There would be no reason for us to
stay at the cargo, so perfect I don't know if a minute or two
minutes is enough time to get to the door or not. But like our
intented is oh yeah, yeah, yeah totally. You may have even caught
the end of like tal coming out of whatever like and you can see there
she was holding Tamer's hand and there was kind of a blue energy that a
mid from it while Ali was probably doing basic checks onto mirror pulse, eye
dilation, and I look at Malie and soul and I say, gosh,
is alive? What I saw her face and a helmet. The she put
on the helmet and it reflected her face. I was able to see it.
I was looking through her eyes for a moment there. I she's in
some kind of war room or maybe will be. Didn't we drop a building
on her? I'm pretty sure I stabbed her to a metal beam and left
her in a pile of fire, relations it didn't kill her. So for
just a minute you're left with her final words. Do you remember what they
were? I remember what they met. I don't remember what the words were
there. Maybe that's all it is. You don't remember the words, but
you remember the feeling, that feeling that she well, feel like you've had
a couple of times in your life. It's a feeling that Seul gets.
He doesn't fully understand, but it's the same feeling he gets when he looks
at his brothers. Yep, and I don't fully understand it, however,
is uneasy feeling and Seul kind of locks down a little bit hearing this news.
Okay, well, uh, what about to me? Or does he
fine? Lost in visions of some kind? What does that mean? What
does that mean? Lost in visions? Would Alia be able to better explain
any of this? Would she? No? More? People? From what
you can tell what you can tell from the diagnostics on because you're in the
medical bay right, like they got things that run diagnostic for you don't have
to be like a total genius to use the facility itself. His brain functionality,
his body state seems to be that he's in a deep sleep, that
these visions manifest kind of like dreams, at least in the way that the
brain is like firing, right at least for what you can tell from like
this like CT scan or whatever. Okay, But I'm also would she know
based on what Tao mentioned about what she saw what she saw? Like would
you? I'm just about ta mirror about him being lost in space like something
she's seen before. Yeah, lost in space and vision you I mean,
you could roll a culture check if you wanted to. There's not a whole
lot there, right, Like your mystic you surely has been lost in visions
for what she claims to be years and was just minutes on your end,
right, Like the way that you have studied the mind and the way and
the and the expanse, the reach that the mind can go to still is
not fully they discovered or known. So I would say in this case,
yeah, you can roll for it. But he seems to be in a
trance of some kind and most of the time you just have to wait it
out, right, Yeah, you have to. You have to play out
whatever is happening. Oh yeah, yeah, let's get you can get the
roll though, see if you know anything? Okay, okay, let's seek
why not just culture? Right? Just uh yeah? Culture? Okay?
Oh wait, let me check and make sure I took off the hold up,
I didn't take off the past two that's plenty. No, no,
no, I forgot to take out the advantage. So let me roll it
one more time. I have to. That's okay, I was wanna say,
I'll just remove the last two die from that which neither of those two
or successes die were so in this case I'll still say you succeed. I
don't know if Alia has ever experienced and out of body experience like actually had
to have funny experience like Tall has their spirit like talent, had their spirit
body experience, or a term of like premonitions, a little of both,
right like, out of body experiences happen to all kinds of people, all
kinds of suff Some people believe that like cerebral dreaming like deep dreaming can give
you the same experience, but out of body experiences are not unheard of with
mystics, especially mystics that fall into a deep trance, that the out of
body piece of it releases the mind to something bigger, and really there's not
going to be much of a way for you to be able to tell what
that is. The fact that Tao even found his spirit out of body right
like that piece like way out in space is kind of a miracle because right
now Tao could be or you've I mean, you've heard stories of mystics that
have walked among the stars, that have literally jumped from planet to planet,
in and out of body experience that that they have set on the cusp of
the darkness and watched it consume space like. Some of them lost their minds
because of it. Some didn't come back the same. Most people don't even
believe it's true. But Sholey would tell you. She said plenty about her
body experiences. So I turned to tell and go this, this has not
unheard of what you have seen, on what you have experienced, and what
to me it is experiencing, though it was forced on him, has happened
to other mystics in the past. It is I would not like to say,
a right of passage, but it is something we do experience at times.
Perhaps you have in your past as well. Unfortunately, he's in a
trance and it's up to him to decide when he comes out of it.
We do not really have anything more we can do except keep him safe and
comfortable while he's in this moment, this moment, and I I can only
say that it's in he decides when he comes out, and it could be
a long time, so we need to brace ourselves for that. What is
a comma? Why not quite? He's still quite active? Comma it's in
innocence. I suppose, however, his as what you could maybe perhaps say,
his spirit is out there experiencing things. I don't know what. I
can't put it in because it's different from person to person what it is.
But he is in a situation where he's unable to talk with us or really
see us. No matter how much you shake him or try to physically try
to move him to get him out of this, this is not going to
change, at least not on our end. There have been times where Surely
has been under a transfer, days, weeks, even more, and all
we could have done was protect her. All right, well good enough for
me. I guess whatever that idol did, it seems at least in a
sense. I'm not sure if this is beneficial or not, but all I
can do is take the positivity from it and hope that he comes back smooth
or at least soon. And I cannot say that, at least in my
experience, I've never seen them completely lost and gone forever. They do come
back eventually, so at least hope. I hope that gives you some level
of comfort. I look over to Malik Uh. Malik is Uh like facing
away from tamir Uh and you see that he's like looking around at all the
different like medical equipment, and he's like slides one of the drawers open and
pulls out like looks like an EpiPen. And you see him like lift up
your shirt and stick himself with the EpiPen and then throw it in the canister.
And he like walks back over and just kind of like looks at Aaliya
and then looks over at talent says, can I can I get in there
please? The entire time Alia was talking, tow was essentially strapping to mirror
in with like safety belts so that if she does any more maneuvers, he's
not going to fall off the bed. It's not like strapping his arms down
or anything like that, but just like I'm sure these beds have some sort
of like some sort of safety belt just so that if a patient's on there,
they're not going to like fall off. How just kind of looks what
do you mean? What are you doing administering medical aid? And he starts
to like slowly like spin the arms of the chair up and like pull cables
out, and like you see him like reach into one of the drawers like
he knows where it is and pulls out an ivy bag and he seems to
be getting him prepared for medical treatment. But it kind of looks like Malike
knows what he's doing. I mean, he's fine, he's just in a
vision. If you're in a coma, you can't eat, you can't drink,
you need fluids, you need to survive. He still needs all the
same basic sus sence he would need if he weren't in a coma. Whether
he's in a magical coma or not, he still needs everything. So well,
I mean, I don't I don't see anyone else doing it. Go
for it. I'm not gonna stop you. Yeah, and he does.
He like you see him set an He like sets an IV. He like
he looks at the straps that like tal put on and like works around the
straps like he's putting it like tubes underneath and over the straps so that they
stay in there. But he is, he is administering medical aid in a
in a way that looks like he kind of knows what the hell he's doing,
which is weird because before he didn't. He had no idea what he
is doing and had never done this before. To anyone that IVY goes in
the smoothest ivy I mean, Bruce, I mean and having to work.
You know, you work around the straps. So do you think I have
a seven? Yeah, I have a total of seven. He's not bad.
I have a plus two. You're welcome to roll for it if if
you're trying to stabilize him in some way, or you want to. I
mean, I'll roll anyway. But he's just trying to make sure that he,
you know, doesn't die or desiccate. No, al, I do
that, or I do that and I roll four critical success. Holy fuck?
Really yeah, it turns out, it turns out. Okay, it
turns out I was ordering a bunch of equipment and studying how to be a
doctor to impress my girlfriend in a jar fucking crop. That's stupid, that's
stupid. Okay, four fucking okay. Yeah, you said an iv to
drip. You run over the scans, the brain scans. He doesn't seem
to be reading like he's in a coma. He does seem to be reading
like he's in a deep sleep. Whether or not you can wake him,
maybe even try a few thinks, you like, prick his hands, you
try to wake his body. Uh no, luck, it seems from the
readout that I'm gonna say you can read because nobody else wrote a bucket full
critical success. You see that his body is is sending extreme levels of high
amounts of set like serotonin in his system. Right he's he's producing extreme amounts
of chemical that's produced when you dream, basically, which means he's producing more
than the average person. So he's having a hell of a ride right now.
You're sure of it. Okay, if he has okay, yeah,
go ahead. If he has mind point damage, I think he heals it.
I think that's what medicaci does. Besides like stabilizing people, it also
heals mind points. You could actually heal it. Yeah, so will I
would say, if he has good that's true, that's actually true, this
is interesting, or else I would know any mind point damage does he no,
no, mind he doesn't damage right now unless unless he got someone he
touched the idol. Doesn't the battle change. Well, here's the thing.
I wasn't going to roll for him, but he does technically, all right,
Okay, he failed. I rolled off his seat. He failed,
so he does have He would have taken some mind point damage. I'll give
you that. So, Tao, you would have taken mind point damage two
points in fact, when he took that idol earlier, maybe all of you
didn't see it or too kept it under wraps. But this time, Malik,
you pump some more basically drugs into his ivy, the extreme amounts of
sarah tonin you kind of you try to balance it out, thinking maybe if
you get him out of like what is basically a freaking hoot losing genic trip,
that's what his mind is doing, right. If you could bring him
down, you might be able to wake him out of this in like a
more normalized way. And as you do, it does heal the mind point
damage, Tao, it also heals your mind point damage. I don't know
that that manifests anyway. But the writhing headache that you've had since you kind
of came back and depressurized that suit like you thought it maybe it was just
normal like super space headache, but space migraine rolling in. But even if
it was, whatever Malik just did healed his brother, and you know healed
you. Whether you tell any when, I'll leave that up to you.
Yeah. I think Malik just works quietly and like finishes wrapping up things,
and again you see him like walking around the mid bay and like reaching into
drawers and not like not like looking for something, but he like, we're
just into a drawer, pulls out the thing he needs, closes to that
drawer, goes back, slides it into the ivy bag, and continues like
throwing things in the contamination container. Whenever I kind of realized that the headache's
gone away, I just kind of rub my head and say, well,
he's feeling better, which makes me wonder, Oh, I know that.
Yeah, I mean the medical readil is kind of stabilized. So would Alia
be able to infer based off of that? Considering that she's been working with
Tamir and all this entire time trying to document and study their connection, t
would you have revealed that you and Tamir? Have you have the two of
you really figured it out? That's the next question, Have you really figured
out that you're that linked? I don't think this is the first tell has
ever. She just put it together with the fact that Alia said that like
it's it's a miracle that she reached him, and the fact that suddenly her
headaches gone when he's feeling better. This is the first time Tel's even considered
it as like a possibility. Okay, cool, I'm pretty sure Tamir has
no idea. Sorry, go ahead, Yeah, no, no, that
so I don't know that Alia would know right away, but that you do
know they are extraordinarily linked, and you've never seen two mystics that share an
ability. It seems that there was some in their awakening with some cross there
that has linked them perma. But that's all. You don't know the cause
and effect of that. How on that that being said, the ship has
kind of been set in a drift amongst this asteroid belt for both safety reasons
and a few other things. The vessel comes, No, the vessel is
hit by something, and I don't mean like extreme hit, like it feels
like something large bumped into the outside like kind of and everything rattles a little
bit to mirror's body shakes. Good thing you strapped down, and but it
doesn't feel like your average So we're I'm looking for like debris in this field
that's been like banging on the outside of the ship. This feels a little
bit more purposeful all out, Sally, what was that? As I start
going to the cockpit. My sensors indicate that something large has been pushed our
direction. It seems that we may not be alone in this asteroid belt.
Pushed great. Uh scan all systems, check, check for any damages.
See if you can get a readout of anything in the area. Uh do
do do? Do all of you feel this like happened? You see towel,
probably like run up right to her seat on the bridge. By the
time you get their towel, you have a readout. Sally says, three
smaller vessels are in coming. They seem to be rather interested in our trajectory.
They are trying to hack our systems. We lake you want to stop
hacking your brother and hack them back? Yeah. Yeah, he he like
hits the med com says yeah, I'm on it. Yeah, and probably
yeah he runs on the con stations. Yeah, soul Aliah. They are
not hiding this information. Something's up? Should should I do something? What
a my press buttons? You want me to look at things? What am
I doing? It's just us two, Yeah, it's just the two of
you. Stay in there. It's just I'm like I'm like running like as
if there's other people and like I'm kind of like pan not panicking, but
just like what's going on? Why? Why? Who's hacking? What?
Soil just grabs him and just like called him like peace. No, I
feel like Malik hears peace to coom and like stops in his tracks and like
turns around the cannon. Then we have a cannon. Man the cannon.
I'm crying peace, Like, what the fuck just happened? What you you're
like loading yourself into this canon, right, this man canon, thinking to
yourself all his words peace, peace, trying to like calm your nerves a
little bit. Uh okay, I'm mann cannons, Malik can roll. Malik
hits one of the calms as he runs by, so like you only get
like a clip of what he's saying, but he hits the thing. It
goes, oh, listen, here's that. Stares at h stares at to
me for a second, just double checks everything was good, and then kind
of just runs back up to her room because there's nothing more she can do.
You can't, you can't. I've been here. I'm gonna wait this
one out piece. You can't leave a cannon. I'm sorry. Yeah,
you're going to have to make a data jin test. So you're going to
have to make a data gin test for every fighter. There are three of
them, okay, each one is a negative two. Each roles a negative
two. Okay, so I have a positive three minus two and data jin.
So I need to make three of these roles that he said, Yeah,
okay, so here is role number one. Oh really, that's what
you're gonna play that game? Okay, that's cool. I just got a
four freaking critical success. Don't even am no, no, it's the it
didn't actually pop up because I'm doumb oh. Okay, Mike, I don't
care what you We just got a four. So the first one is a
success, okay, The second one is a failure. Okay, the third
one is a failure. And you know I'm gonna spend a I'm gonna give
you a darkness point and reroll once with the critical success. Hey, so
critical assade, welcome to void three success. This is a fighter ship of
some kind. Do you manage to grab mhmm, you managed to grab some
information on the vessel the first one you try to hack into you no good.
It seems to be headed this direction. Though. These ships are rather
small, so they're not like heavy fire power. This is not a warship.
These are pirates. Bleak, Okay, this is this These are pirates.
Okay, that last role, oh that last ship. Either the person
that's at the helm is not very good at their job or you just are
really good at your job. You get some information about this. This is
a Class one corsair ship, very very similar to Amira's vessel. There's is
a bit more strapped for like carrying cargo, but m m. It doesn't
have a lot of armor, but it is very fast. It is Yes,
and I will say you also managed to get the name of the grouping
of pirates. Uh. The vessel seems to be tagged the Vultures. They're
all vulture like one vulture, two vulture three mm. Do I know?
And can I give you a quick culture to see if I know anything about
them? Perhaps sure, having having run in some crime circles. Okay,
let me see here. Nope, I don't. I don't know. This
is way, this is way the hell out. These aren't like pirates of
Hamurra. These are pirates of Odicon. There are a lot of pirates out
here. I will say this, though you may not know anything about them,
but you do know this far out. You have a few options.
You destroy them or they destroy you. Because they're coming for everything on this
ship, and that you're not actually that far from the nearest portal station.
You could try to outrun them. Mhmm. I don't know that. Our
ship is not a horrible plan. Our ship isn't pirate fast. We can't
outgun them. There's too many. We can't. I don't know that we
can outrun all of them. That that crit is what gave me that information?
Is that correct? Start? Yes? Yes, M can try to
think. Is there is there a question you would like to ask to see
if I can cover it? Like if I miss you were hoping for?
No, there's some bullshit I want to try, because why wouldn't I dot
Let's be real here. I'll let you try some bullshit on the ground.
Then I'm gonna make town make a piloting check. I so they were trying
to hack us. So this wasn't like a sensor check. This was like
a counter are Yeah, this is a counter Yeah? Right, they're pirates.
If they blow you sky high, they don't get anything out of this.
Their goal is to shut your ship down, come on board, kill
you. I want to take your stuff. Yeah yeah, yeah pirates.
Yeah okay, So a critical success says you reach your goal and achieve some
unexpected bonus effect. Up to the GM, the effect was I wanted them
to stop them from counter I from happen. Us. Can I that it
was achieved? Right? Can I not only counter the hack, but or
not only prevent the hack, but counter the hack and plant a data meme
on them on at least one of them, on the one I credit whichever
ship that was, and take them take them potentially down to two ships.
I don't remember. Is the goal is the goal to just I can look
that up. Is the goal to just leave them like flying dark, like
lead them float like flying Darcus? Or are you like trying to like fully
hack this system and like set them to explode. No, I'm not trying
to kill them. I'm just trying to like either shut them down and make
them just floating like dead in the water. I feel like that's easier,
easily done than based on that critical Yeah done? You just like boof,
You see their ship goes dark on whatever screen you're using, and the you
hear uh Sally come on and she says one of the ships has malfunctioned.
They are floating dead in space. Since nerds don't get action scenes, I
feel like you see Malik run into the cockpit and like jump into the swivel
seat, and you say click click click click click click clickly one down click
click cick click click. It's the most boring action sequence. Then the camera
pans to Sewel and to uh to taw. So here's what's gonna be up
with this. We actually have to make a roll to see whose ships are
going first. In this case, there are only two ships in this and
ship combat initiative is done by command, by our pilot's command. This is
why two started taking commands or twel. You're gonna roll command to put us
into combat like initiative order. So I just know what who's going where.
Okay, they are going probably last, maybe not. I don't know what
that means. Maybe not. You have more dies, Okay, you have
more die than they do. Okay, so one of the ships is gonna
go first, so they're gonna take a first action. Then it will be
you, and then it will be them because you have a larger command pool
than they do. So this one of the two vultures, one of the
two vultures comes over the comms. All right, now, all you got
to do is just wait it out. We're gonna come on board and take
what we want, and we'll leave you alive. As long as you give
up, I'll they here bags fuck you over. There's like a fuck you
that passes, and he says, I didn't want to have to do this,
darling, And he's going to. They're gonna make an attack on the
Defiant. They send out. Let's see what is there? What do they
have? Oh they have auto cannons. Okay, uh huh okay, they're
gonna get real. They cut the distance in half pretty quickly. You see
this small If you could, you could see the small vessel kind of dodge
and weave through all of the debris, the pieces of ship and planet that
are left here. Uh, it's going to fire. It's auto cannons.
Whoever's firing, fires off right, fires off, fucking missing tal makes a
daft roll. It is, in fact, now the defiant ship's turn.
Now, this is how this works. Each of you get a turn on
the ship's turn. Got you in this case, I'm gonna give it to
Maliquents. I'll give it I'll let talon Seool decide who goes next. Yeah,
you command me onfo, I'm listening. Boom, take a shot.
You're gonna make a main arranged combat attack with our cannon. So question is,
as gunner skill level eight, does that change anything? Or? Uh,
yeah, we haven't had ship combat in a while. What's your abitt
what's your arranged combat skill for? What's your agility for? Then? No,
it's still an eight. Okay, it's still an eight. And what
do You're our gunner for the ship, So you're gonna roll your main arranged
combat attack? Okay, Well, before I do anything, I'm gonna like
fiddle around, kind of get a custom you know, adjusted to the seat,
you know, lift of Carci back a bit, and you know he's
doing all of this yet got check all the piloting check to get us the
fuck out of here. Yeah, tal is, as soon as Mark,
as soon as my butt hit that seat, I'm gonna forget. You had
a plus one. You have a plus one for having a blessing. Well,
basically you have the what is that thing the temple on this that's only
that's only for poor jumps, right, Oh, you're right, it is
only for portal jumps, but you still have a blessing on the ship left
by Showly. Oh yeah, yeah, that's right. So you have the
one one from Showly you usually would get to if you're making a portal jump,
but this is just flat flight. I trying to think if you have
any other ones. I think that's it. As as I sit down,
as as always, it's how hits the Traveler icon near her station says yep,
Traveler, give me it's a bobblehead. Yep. I think it's I
always see it as like a little insignia, just like on on the like,
just so everybody shows at home. I did spend a darkness point and
played a card, but I played it for Tamir, which we will have
to see play out next week. I did play an asteroid card. That's
rude. Well, I have to agree it is indeed Rudel's gunn in it
for the portal station, trying to maneuver around all the oncoming fire over the
intercom, saying Suil, take a shot, take a shot, and are
you haven't hit anything? Get these guys off my rings combat. I would
like to go pu pew pepew, not peepee okay, success. If we
look at the Defiance character sheet, I believe you are using the Mason cannon.
Yeah, the Mason can is not fucking around though, No, it
is not fucking around. So that gives you two the damage on that.
So the Mason can. So so ships have two kinds of health U.
They have energy points and help points. The Mason cannon does damage to both
at the same time and ignores armor. Oh so it just happens. It
just yeah, you just get wrecked to it hits you hit one of the
ships. I'm not going to tell you which one, but you do hit
one of them. Uh, there's a little bit of crack one maybe some
screaming towel from the other end of calms that you were connect with, and
then it goes the line goes dark. Let's go I say that in character.
Oh yeah, you get a turn. Uh if there's something you would
like to do they needed. Ah. Man, this is completely out of
her element. I mean I think she was on her way to to continue
her research just simply because she wouldn't know what to do exactly. Yeah,
you just basically go to She's just like, yeah, there's ship fight going
on. I'm gonna go read just like y'all take care of the ship.
Quiet down, guys, please, I okay. If that's the case,
it passes to the next vessel, the next vulture. Oh, I love
this. It's very mean though. It's very mean. And you know what,
instead of spending a darkness point, I'm gonna spend a corruption bar on
this one. Try believe you see it, but you can't stop it.
A signal goes out a beacon to the other dust vultures in the area.
Oh, the ship took two. I'm sorry that ship took to that.
That's how much you dealt you have you been hit? No? They failed
it hitting you. They failed. They put out they use a darkness point.
Or basically, I'm using the corruption bar for the dust vultures to put
out a sensor for more fighters to come and help them capture. Sure this
ship, it's going to take a shot bootoopp do it fails? Towel's daft
flying. It hits instead a piece of junk that like shatters and you can
feel and hear the tinging like hail on the top of a car as the
metal pings against the metal, shards ping against the vessel as towel races for
this station. We loop back to the top of the ship combat. It
is the vessel that has been hit. Actually a third one rolls up an
into combat. We'll say it goes at the end though, of the next
round instead of the top. They're they're not stopping that. They took some
damage, but it's not enough to warrant them to not take your ship.
Actually, oh that's bad. Well they're gonna they're gonna try again. Oh,
they did it, they got one. It's only the auto cannons though,
and you all have quite a lot of armor, right, like five
tw Would you like to roll five these six for me? Come on,
come on, come on, come on, negating two points of damage so
you have a very high probability here. No, you know, how do
they roll three ones? It happens, you all feel it. Oh yeah,
maybe even trying to concentrate on something else, something hits the ship,
an actual like hits the side of the ship. The lights begin flashing,
Sally comes on and goes. If you are not already strapped in, you
may want to find yourself a secure that would put all of your so that
does damage to the hull, not to your energy. Thank you Mike whoever
marked that? Moving right along and the initiative, back to the define.
The camera cuts back in from the emptying void of space, back to the
flashing lights and the food dude as the ship is under attack and the explosion.
Malik, it is your turn. You are muted. I'm muted.
So to launch data memes, I have to have analyzed the ship. So
I have analyzed one additional ship from that previous role. I believe I'm going
to launch data meme and that guy can suck it. Give me one second
to find my character sheet of my nine million scies. Then, is that
on the new ship that joined us or the when you failed earlier? No,
so I succeeded on two ships. One I already shut down and the
other one I just didn't do anthing with. So the one I analyzed but
didn't do anything with, I'm gonna launch a data meme against that one.
Great, Okay, So question just clarification. Are you saying data means?
Are you launching data means? Yes? Like me as in like m m
e. Yes that's what they actually call it. Yes, yes, yes,
launching lots of cats, Yes, yats, Yes, nine cats are
just emails with what you know, the graphic has Nancat in space actually flying
from the back of towel ship. It's just stop. Yeah yeah, I
mean realistically, like that's what that's what it is. So it's basically their
system. Yeah. So like just just like just like a meme is like
something that like one person makes and then spreads like culturally, that's the same
thing, Like it makes me a worm. It mad a worm that spreads
through their whole system that shuts down there. But the game calls them memes,
So I mean guess technically like he spread spreads through memes though it spread
through memes. Yeah. You ever seen the movie Hackers when they have like,
oh they latched a cookie monster and it's like, you know, four
rabbits. It makes me think, So I'm I just rolled four additional pirate
ships have heard the call. Only one has shown up the flap jacks.
Hello, h two successes on launching a data meme on that guy. How
close is that ship to the rest of the ships? Uh? Well,
one of them has been left behind, so ship three is basically gone.
Yeah, it's dead in the water. You're talking about ship too. I
mean they're flying relatively close. They're all headed for you, so they're kind
of convening, so I would say they're close ish, okay. Cool.
So data memes get to target systems. I would like to use that data
meme and both of its successes to target the reactor core and explode them.
I don't know that it actually explodes them. The details are vague, so
it's kind of up to you. Dot. The details on what a data
meme does are super vague, and a two limited success I will say,
I will oh, no, I'm sorry. It says the sensor operator,
which is me, chooses which module on the ship to attack. If the
attack it's successful, the target module is disabled as if critically hit. Okay.
I would say then that they're react the ship wants. That's kind of
what you're doing. You're shipping. You're not exploding it. You're shutting the
reactor down, which means they're not getting gravity or oxygen or power or any
of that. And so another ship goes dark. Yeah, off in the
distance. Two ships now float dead. I imagine that the calms again comes
on from this this last ship, and another voice says, you think that's
gonna stop us? Uh? And then tell you here. Somebody in the
background go what is it? No, and people start screaming. Malik's busy
hacking so he doesn't get to see it. Click click, do I is
this over? It is? Now? Uh? No, that's gonna be
to the pilot, see because he's like communicating with talents pilot. Pilot.
But it is your turn. I'll just I'm gonna go confuse some more you've
got You've got at least two more ships. Okay, which is the fire
again? The one that I shot at? Do I still see that?
Is it still up? Yeah? I'm not sure that. I'm gonna just
keep shitting. Is that the one you wanted to take down? The leak?
Yeah? Keep shooting at the same one. Go ahead, got ahead,
Okay, I'm doing it. You might actually explode them. Two I
you do. I'm gonna yell down the hall. I got one. So
basically there are two ships floating dead in the water. One just exploded soul
blew it up, and the fourth one has a fourth one has pulled in
kind of not on top of them, but nearby out of the debris,
hearing the call Malak. Now off in the distance, you can see that
they're the radar screen. More of them. How you'd probably see it too,
based on the bridge. Like they're at the bridge. Three more vessels
way off in the distance are pulling in rather quickly headed your direction. My
god, y'all, do I have any knowledge of this? Or would I
not or would I not see that at all? Yeah, Malik hits the
colms. We have boarding coming, guys. We had a we had a
make Why are there's so many towel make a piloting roll. Towel flips on
all colms for so that all all colms are open for everybody. Everyone here
is literally anything that happens at any port in any part of the ship,
and you can't turn it off. So yeah, it is open communications.
Make a piloting check. I just have the one from the blessing. Oh
gosh, two successes. That's a success again a dodging and weaving. You
are very close. It's going to be two more rounds before you make it
within like the perimeter of the station here in this sector it's known as Coban.
The Coban station smaller than Hamaravi, less people, but technically the pirates
cannot attack you there without well, they will die they would know that,
so that it's basically race against time. You have two more rounds before you
can make it unless you make a critical. I would say a critical would
knock around off, if that makes sense. I do have a question because
I'm not sure how this works. I know as as a feature of command,
you can use an action, I'm not sure. I didn't see it
in the combat actions and there to essentially order someone to do something. If
I were to yell to let's see, I'd probably yell at Malik, Malik,
Yeah, how many of those can you take out? Take out all
of them? Uh? Actually that's a range right now? The other three?
So the how what? What range are they at that right now?
They're not actually even in range of like, Okay, they're incoming. I
would say, next round they will be arranged to make their first attack against
you. Okay, So I guess I guess the command would be, well,
don't let them get close enough, got it. There is one ship
that is close though, I you know, I take it back. It
turns out the data meme, Uh it does it does give you details on
what it does. It's it's bad. So it's it's it's long range.
Uh, and hits them as if you quit them, So any hit is
a quit. What makes it really bad is when you target the reactor it
explodes. Great, that's what I thought. Uh So I can target the
reactor, the bridge or the graviton projector, and by targeting the reactor it
detonates. The ship is broken apart and is lost forever. Is that what
you want? I feel like that wasn't my intent, so choose for that
not to be the intent. Yeah, that sounds like multiple nuclear explosions in
the very close, in close proximity ship. Yeah, you know, so
make us go faster away from them. It's I can't. I can't do
that. Unfortunately, that's exactly what I was thinking. Yeah, I will
say this what I will do because it's less nuclear, but I will target
the bridge with both of those previous attacks, which says the ship can no
longer be maneuvered, which means he stops, which is great. The captain,
pilot, and censor operator can no longer perform their actions. The engineer
and gunner stations are normally functioning, except everyone on the bridge risks damage and
the module suffers explosive decompression. So correct, I vent their breach. So,
uh, yeah, I can't do anything. I'm preparing. Oh you
said this one in range. I guess what I need to know is,
so you shut the bridge down, are you wanting to vent it? Like?
Do you want to kill these people or you just want to leave them
floating in space? That's I mean, that is an important question to discombat.
Man h you know, under normal circumstances, but this is season three,
maleak. He vents it. He has a he has a problem with
some pirates recently, and he spent some hard time on a pretty shitty planet
with monsters that tried to eat him pretty much all the time. Then you're
really going to hate me before this episode. Yeah, he's not. He's
not feeling the pirate situation right now. And he vents some ATMO on both
of those. Okay, both of those have been vented the crew towel,
you heard it, the screams of people being vented before space takes over and
the silence on the other end of the calms. One ship remains hot on
your trails. Uh per per Towel's instruction, he's going to try to hack
that one. So fortunately data meming takes two takes two actions. So I'm
going to try to analyze that first with a sensor role. Let me see
make the sensor role and they have a mind that was daft piloting from Taw
Taw kind of weaves and dodges that. She gives his command to Malik.
Since you are manually piloting this, I'm gonna say your front windows have to
be open. Towel you see something interesting the ship's explode. But there's a
fourth vessel. I'm sorry, there's another vessel incoming hot and fast towards this
ship that Malik is trying to hack. We rule an observation. Let's see
if she sees it, and then we'll let this happen and then we're going
to cut to it would be Olia's turn after she sees it as a Papa
sensor. No, this is dead. With the eyes on the side of
this ship, you can see it's like cutting across the bowel of your vessel
towards this other these oncoming ships is a ship, you know, says the
corsair on the side attached to the other ships. Nope, attacking. It
looks like they are headed for the three vessels that are incoming towards you looks
like they're going to cut them off. They look like they're attacking those ships,
not like they're going to attack us. They are not in trajectory for
you in any way. Uh. As I see that, I say,
that's weird. The course their looks like they're attacking them. But I'm sorry,
what you hear the word course? You hear the word course sair and
then sure enough a new boop boop on the radar. I'm I'm still going
straight to the thing. I'm not changing anything for what I'm doing. But
definitely yes town, So we had to roll got so now it's always turned
and then yeah, I rolled it too. Successes against them. No,
so that's just two the first the first one. Yeah, yeah, yeah,
yeah, So that's I have a question for you. How how close
was the ship the Corsair or how close these long range long range so our
sensors would pick them up. Are they still at long range? Yes?
That, like I said, they are not headed for you an eating Yeah,
whatsoever? No objectories the vessels that are far out. Yeah, I
think as soon as like tell like almost confusedly said, why is the Corsair
coming over here? Like he hits the he like he like hits the sensor
button and like, as the reading's printing out, you see him again,
the same face he made when he was gonna hit the fucking vent space,
the stupid idol. He hits the coms as they zoom by, and he's
like, what the hell are you doing here? So, yeah, the
comms. There's a moment. There's a moment. Actually, no, that
that rings out everybody. Here's it? What the hell are you doing here?
In the camera cuts to Alia, where are you? So she's still
in her room. She was trying to actually, I guess her way of
helping was trying to maybe pray and see she could. Okay, I was
gonna ask if she could bless the ship, but she knows us I would
give that plus I would give that plus three. So in this case,
if you wanted to bless the ship, I'd give the plus three to Tao
for piloting in this case because you've not actually used that bless ability yet.
But you would know who the Corsair belongs to very much, and would you
would know the Corsair? You hear that come over calms? Oh, and
she has no real idea about the history between Samina and the rest of the
crew. Yet, right, I think that's what we establish. I know,
Yes, that is super correct. Yeah, that is super great.
I feel like Talent to Mirror would have talked about there's a dancer, but
there's those problems, and Tamir did come back with Aliyah, uh stabbed right,
the dancer. But we didn't actually know her name, her real name,
right, so well she has she has two names. You would have
known the name Semina, not a mirror, which is the name that mirror
as well, because she says I remember, like but if I'm saying,
if they don't know it, they don't use it in their fame. No
way of making that connection. Yeah, so we would have used the name
that we knew. But yeah, unless Aliyah said anything back, we wouldn't
have talked very much about her, right, so like she wouldn't. I
don't think Alia would have made the connection that it was the same person that
the rest of the Okay, so does she have access to comms? Yeah?
Yeah, talk to the other ship. To the other ship. They
well, no, you haven't opened up colms yet with them, You've only
opened up they have opened the other ships opened up colms with you, but
so far the courser's not mid contact. Okay, okay, never mind.
Then uh oh what would she do at this point, I'm trying to see
would this be like? So you hear her over the colms. I wish
I had my thing over the colms. Go h don't do it. Do
not shoot that ship. My sister is on that ship. Please, I'm
try what did you say my sister she's on that ship. She's she's trying
to help. I'm just letting you know she's not one of the paddits.
Wellia, you hear that too. You know that there's only one female aboard
that or that that calls that ship home. That's a pirate ship. Well,
oh god, what would she say? I'm like spinning my heads on
this, on my wheels and my head on this on how this would go?
H. So she goes, well, if it is helpful, Okay,
yeah, no, go ahead, Okay, Now she's just going to
say. I'm not going to deny what the ship looks like or what she
has done in the past, but as of this moment, please, she
is not the type to attack unknowingly. I know her. That's the crew
that stranded me on a jump pointed, I'm well aware. Right, that's
news. I'm sorry. A lot happened while you were gone. On as
I'm flying. Uh. Then the calms come over Corsair to the defiant.
What do you want? Well, we were here to help you, unless
you don't want it. And often the distance you see one of the ships
explode as the Corsair passes by and takes one of them out. Why is
here Alia, Alia? Go through something that? What the hell have you
done? Sister? What? Sister? Why aren't why is this person on
the ship? Oh, Sue, they did rescue you. I swore you
were going to rot on that assoid GM. I would like to turn my
cannons towards the Corsair. Okay, you are welcome to do that. Kept
kept, just give me work, give it a word. No, he
seems very like unstable, but just like shaky at Fook, suel focus on
our attackers. She has been an attacker. Suel on. Focus on the
current threat. I have a particular interest in turning in vultures. You know,
for everyone you take back to the station, you get a thousand ber.
It's easy money. Sounds about that. Vultures. I don't do respect
for a science ship. Mhm, last time I checked, you were a
ship full of fugitives. I want to turn Mike Cannon towards the vultures.
Oh sorry, yep, yep, but teams like SPA. It's like one
of those turrets of like spins rolls. We get into line up because damn
it, fucking effect, it's gonna go like now, motherfuck's some of a
bitch fuck dammage slowly just turned back. It's your ship, captain, rescuing
you. Rescuing you was expensive? Do I have to go through like some
sort of game mechanic? Or can I just start shooting if you want?
You just have to wait to your turn, which technically it's not your turn.
It's ship number four's term. They are being hacked, but are not
completely hacked. They are going to take another shot at this vessel. They
failed because I have yet to succeed a single role tonight. That is okay,
you hit our ship? Yeah, you hit a swans. Oh Mabby,
I hit y'all once. Hey listen, I hit y'all. Put what
seven pirate ships do you have? Hit you? What? Listen? Dot?
We can't all be criticalisade. It's been well one of those ships is
done. It fails again. Twel's piloting is you see it coming a mile
away? It loops now back into our vessel and back into this vessel because
you're the ships just came in range, as did the Corsair. It is
top of round. Malik's turn, Malik, would you like to finish that
data's gen role? Yeah? Yeah, I do. But there's there's definitely
like a there's definitely like the overhead camera shot and you see like the calm
deck laid out, and you see the sonar and he has the vulture for
targeted, and you see his hand hovering over the Corsair like he's gonna retarget
that one, and then like looks up a towel and double taps on the
vulture and latches the mame attack. Uh that's something happens here. Uh success.
Okay, aren't you venting him again? That one's pretty solo, right,
it's not. And it's a long range This is the last of the
ships that was in short range. This is oh it's in short range.
Yeah. Then he vents it. More bodies. You hear the voice come
back over every one of those pirates that you vent into space is worth a
thousand bird each. Do us all a favor and stop? Oh? Is
your ships turn not fit for picking up space to break? That's a shame,
she says, No, that's what your ship is fit for. Sounds
like we got a bunch of birds that nobody in this system wants. You're
junk. I'm gonna va your sister, Captain, Captain, Captain, captain,
she's calling your ship a chunk. I can literally turn this round in
two seconds. I can turn to cannons in two seconds and targets. Sorry
about your sister, don't care. I can destroy. I'm gonna step let
me know, Cadet, just let me know. I think. At the
point, Alia goes, so can we try not to keep antagonizing others?
How are your sister doesn't make any sense? She goes, It seems that
you have not revealed at all to them, sister, what I need to
priests Showy told no, she kind of. There's like a moment on the
other end, she goes, nothing more than you need to if you don't
mind, We're gonna finish off these two pirate ships. Since you've dumped a
fortune into space. I'm gonna see you I didn't yours. Oh, you're
gonna take all. I want to make a long grade make a long grade
attack. Yeah, you want to cut off the vessel that because you can
see like they're setting up to basically capture the ship a claw. Actually,
I'm sorry, I keep using Am I able to use my judge's talent?
Yeah? What is it? The autocript talents antocrt Oh? Absolutely, you
use the autocrit. You see that they're they're like claw that attaches them and
pulls the vessel like into them, shoots out through space to go grab them.
But in a slow motion moment, we see the fire like the shots
like from the cannon and it blows that ship up. It takes out their
claw. So I would say the way it works, as the Dancer is
explaining to us, like everything we were listening to, like Suel just like
turns and he's like not just pressing it, he's like punching the monitor to
fire, and he's just like fucking fuck. He just like punches the ship
out of the monitor. It fires and it's successful. Oops. I guess
I don't know. I don't care. Uh. At this point, Semina
says, I see nobody wants to play nice today. Well, you're welcome
for us rescuing you. Thanks. Unfortunately, no, but everybody listens to
me. When did you rescue us? Oh? Right now, you would
have been dead in space with all of the vultures coming your way. Question
that claw that I destroyed? Was that our ship or was that their ship?
Their ship? Okay, just wanted to declare it was the claw they
used to basically like connect themselves and reel in another vessel. They're also pirates,
right, this is what they do. I'm pretty sure we to the
and some Meana says, well, since all of you are so tasty,
I guess we'll just have to get a drink at the nearest station. See
you there. Fucking fuck that shit of I. This is me just in
my little seat, Like fucking fuck do you think? Fuck? I mean,
you've basically smashed the hood screen, but like you're not going to do
damage to this massive ship with your bare hands unless you'd rather take damage yourself.
No, no, no, I have no interest in But yes,
the screen is like fluttering, you're gonna have to replace it, like you've
smashed it with your hands, but like technically you can still fire the cannon.
You haven't broke the cannon. You just smashed the screen your iPhone,
but it still looks at the screens like fuck damn it. It's always a
fucking fault. And our engineers in a comas you've yeah right, you very
easily finished pulling in. You see that whatever is left of the pirates the
Corsair is dealing with. And do you hear the station master like whoever docks
the ships simply say, what is the name of the place? Dan,
I keep forgiving? What did I call it? Oh? Yeah, this
is Station Coban Coban station to vessel the Defiant, to the Defiant, Please
come in the Defiant captain Tomb of the Defiant, permission to doc what are
you carrying materials? Ship like? That's uh. There's like a pause and
he says, uh, you came a long way to combine some junk.
It's not all junk, but most of it is. He says, well,
we've had a rising of pirates in the area. Can't be too careful.
We've eight hours because you have eight hours three fuel and finish what you
need to do, and then I want you off my station over now.
Even though we don't say that. Mike says that every time, and then
you hear of like click and give you the coordinates for docking to the station,
and you've been approved. The ship has eight hours, that is as
long as you can be here. So as I start docking, I once
again over the inner cooms. All right, everybody has eight hours to do
whatever you need to do while we're here. I swear do not start any
fights. We will have to leave the station, and I don't want to
leave. You've with a blockade of pirates on our ass im. Sorry you
didn't scoop a single pirate with the hell really, rather leave some for Sira
or whatever name is Samira. I love you. Literally just said how expensive
it was to pick me up, and then I I took out three of
them. I don't think they want bodies, That's what she said. Every
single pirate that's floating in space is worth a thousand ber was was worth a
thousand ber ave. They're probably worth at least half as much dead or importantly
just for all of you at home, Because to me, Malik made the
decision to kill them all and take no prisoners, which was an option.
I gained three darkness points technically, if PC should cold bloodedly kill an unbanneuverable
fighter and it's pilot after the flight, the darkness grows. I mean technically,
I didn't. The ship wasn't unmanneuverable, and then I killed them.
It was simultaneous. It was unmaneuverable because because I killed them. Yeah,
so I mean technicality, Dot. And let's you know, I prayed the
faceless one. He's all about technicalities. Tech me. The ship was still
moving when I killed everyone. Not actually wrong. I hate I'm making a
call, but I'm getting three darkness points because you didn't turn in. I
gave you a gold mine of pirates to return a gold mine. Listen as
mad about it as you are them into space. I have. I have
a pirate problem. They're trying to be in space. Dot, I would
like to attest. I'm saying, look at my character on Look how grumpy
I look. That's for being stranded it space? Okay, telling when you
were on a planet, not in shop darkness points? What was that,
Paul? No, I'm good. M Well you dock, I was gonna
says, I was, yeah, go ahead, I was gonna say tal
was thinking about uh, gathering up pirates, and then we shot the claw
that is attached to our only possible Allies ship. She's not going back there
to play mm hmm. Well, you know, she did help in my
arrest and then almost assassination of me, So I'm pretty cool with not caring
if she's mad. Tells, Tells done. The ship docks, the procedure
the usual procedure of fueling begins. There is a little bit of damage to
the ship, but mostly looks cosmetic. Whatever you and tamor fixed earlier is
done. Like the piece of plate metal that you were wilding on and stuff
got blown off, You're gonna have to do it all over again. But
other than a punch screen and a little bit of cosmetic damage, the ship
actually looks a pretty decent shape. Am I able to like try to replace
that screen anyway? Like I'd like to make a technician role basically is this
ain't an iPhone screen. You can't get this picture kas at the ball?
You know, h no, you know those minute videos where they no,
no, you know those five minute videos where they do like five minute tack
videos where they take two paces and like put it on the screen. That's
doing right, now space paste right now, and it's like you can make
a technology role that's space mae. So okay, I'm down. I'll try.
Who knows you could create critical successes? I got one? You know
one you are able to remove the one bad screen. There's more how damaging
the one? Well yeah, there's multiple screens, but like you remove the
one bad screen that you damaged out damaging the electrical system. So now if
you find a screen and say an actual technician, it could probably be replaced.
Okay, Well I don't want to leave open wires like that, So
I'm gonna get some cardboard. I'm gonna get some cardboard and just duct tape
the whole just just for safety purpose. It's the pieces of the crate that
it almost gets sucked out. It just gets like that. You have a
success. There's no Cardboard's not really a thing in space. But you find
a piece of sheet metal and you can to weld it down to like seal
it all. Oh I don't want to, I don't know weld anything.
I'm just gonna put some heavy items on top of it just so it can
comfort that sounds, I imagine tell you find soul trying to hide this hole,
soul. What are you doing? Why is there a whole? Uh?
What did you do? Listen? I I'll fix it. I can.
I can find someone. I'm sure fix did you do? I like
look at my hand and like my hands like bleeding from like the budget.
I'm like, you know what, I'd rather not talk about it. Okay,
what did you break? So I can fix it? I point up
the broken monitor, the cracked monitor I took out. It's like, just
yeah, I imagine, yeah, just it on floor. Hey, hey,
Seul, next time you leave it there and you tell me because I
know how to fix my ship. Okay, okay, maybe you know what.
While we're here, I turn on comms. Hey, al Yah,
can you make sure that you work on getting supplies Malik, find out anything
you can about anybody who might want to hurt us. And also someone please
find a punching bag for Suel. I'm just gonna I'm just gonna leave at
this point, Like so we're just like kind of like, well, this
head not really down. He's just like fuck it, okay's gonna he's gonna
walk out. I will immediately start trying to fix the screen because I do
have technology. I was gonna say, roll the technology. He removed it.
The good news is you look it over, you're like, oh,
he didn't actually break anything but the screen itself, so like, no wires
are broken. This should be a pretty simple fix. If you have a
replacement screen, you may have to pull it out of something else. Yeah,
I'll probably find a place where the screen isn't really needed or isn't in
use very all, maybe out of Yeah, yeah, you have some spare
parts, right, maybe you can go dig through the junk see if you
find something. So let's get the technology role. Limited success with his limited
success over removing it, and you're limited success of replacing it. It takes
you about thirty minutes to an hour, but you were able to replace the
screen and like rewire it up entirely. All the colors are backwards. It's
like red versus green kind of a thing. But it succeeds. You know
what, But that's okay. This time some time has passed. Tal decides
to stay on the vessel. Obviously, but I'm interested in, well,
I'm interested in what everybody else is up to. Soul. Soul's gonna go
cool off from his running with the Oh, I can't wait for her to
I gotta gouse to the med bay and I'm a, oh, that's right,
you need to go patch your hand, yeah, hand. And also
I got a bit where it's still from that those dogs. I completely forgot
about that. Okay, So I'm gonna go to the med bay and we'll
cut back to the you walk in. It's just the light beep beep of
the monitor that is connected to the pulse monitor that's connected to TA mirror.
As you're gonna pat yourself up, we're gonna come back to you. I
have something super quick that's not related to role playing, Okay, I just
want to say when when Towel's fixing the screen, there's like a quick split
second camera shift to Malik, who leads back in his chair looking very content.
Uh, and then you see the camera pan through the ship and Malik
has changed all of the backgrounds and all of the shipboard screens to be the
Tawel going like, what are you doing? And then I don't know of
of school because he's screens shot at the screen video Yeah he took, and
he just plastered as the back yeah, as the background of all of the
screens. At the point I can imagine like the Sills walking down the hall
and it's just screen screen, screen screen, and he's like, you see
him fuming, like you see smoke coming out of his ears as he's walking
fast. It just she hooks up the screen and then the thing. She's
like, it's literally that meme where it's like the two girls, one is
trying to hold it it back, the girl's pointing, and the the kids.
And I feel like, just for comedic times when Twel's like fucking Malik's
when the doors and closes and leaks now on the station somewhere alia, what
do you do when you first survived? Do you stay? Yeah? Well,
she definitely goes. She leaves the ship with the intent of getting the
supplies that Tawel had asked for. But along with that, she wait,
did did the Corsair doc? Because she said she did say that she was
going to meet them to get a drink. She did not yet. It
hasn't DOC. It doesn't dock right after you. It's gonna be at some
time, but it will DOC. Okay, worry, is there anything you
want to do? How about this from a GM perspective? Is there anything
you want to do before it docks. He I mean, I don't think
she would have a malicious intent. I think she would send a message out
to Samina and basically we need to talk. Okay, you are gonna okay,
you're gonna need to try to connect to their calms, or you're going
to try to do this privately, secretly, or you just doesn't matter if
anybody sees you or hears you. I think just privately for once, just
because she has no clue what happened, Like she has no understanding about the
history and what's going on. And as as much as she trusts Tall and
Tamir, like she's she wants to first, like you know, get an
idea of what's what she's dealing with here, because she knows that Samina is
like she's done bad things, but she's not a bad person, at least
she feels so. At least everybody's face on that comment. Oh, she
doesn't know, she has no clue, She doesn't she doesn't know. Okay,
so I'll say this, you try to reach out, but it seems
that she is shut her calms down, and maybe you even find yourself kind
of at the single canteena here, maybe all four of you finally do does
everybody eventually leave the ship when they're done with their fixing and so, well,
do you come on board? This is the first time you have been
back in any kind of public place in a year. Oh my god,
it's like twenty twenty. Oh god, this be after like I was like,
guy, yeah, yeah, this is just this is after the screen
has been fixed and at about an hour has passed of just like the usual.
But this space station is a bit smaller than even the last one.
You went to, the Hemma Robbie station. And remember that's where you actually
met Samina for the first time. I mean, if everyone else is stepping
place, probably doesn't have Yeah, gonna have to wait for the ship to
be fueled and fixed. And yeah, I probably would follow, but I
would be like I would clean up, you know, bandage myself up.
I would go to my uh my room for my new outfit, like not
look like a you know, prisoner, and okay, have a I have
a face module or module mask. I don't fully know if I'm safe publicly,
so I would probably turn it on, not to get a new mask.
It's just more like a distortion. Yeah, it distorts. It's like
a kind of like Sheen or Gli storts the face. Yeah, I don't
make it look difficult so that if it's specifically meant that it can't read your
face like a camera can't pick your face up. Yeah, and then I'm
just gonna put a deep put on and kind of like ill I would go
out if they went out perfect, like the one that Alia wears right out
in public, just because she's a similar on the run. So maybe not.
You get to your room and you put on your spancy new clothes,
you're your your face shield shut. You are in the medbay. You have
to peel the glass out of your knuckles. This is like thick, dense
green glass from the hot deck. And as you're plucking it from your knuckles,
Uh, the beep beep beep of his monitor stops. And I don't
mean it goes like dude, it isn't like kind of it stops making noise.
And if you turn around to look to me or sits straight up.
His eyes are open, though they are covered in an inky blackness. His
mouth drops open, but it is not his voice that like spills forth.
So you begin to hear a song, a beautiful song, song that you've
heard before. A year ago on Kua, you had a vision. The
emissary came to you and a song played, a song that you can't quite
understand. You can't make out the lyrics too, but the tune, the
resonance, the melody, it it is sad and it cries out calls to
you almost in some strange way. And then as sure as this happens,
Tamir's body smashes back down to the metal table. The kind of band around
his waist is still there. He's still strapped down and his body goes back
and you hear the machine boop. I would so for I first like look
around to see if like anyone's in the rumor, like, no, it's
just me, right, it's just you. Nobody else witnessed this event.
I run to tom or his body and I like tried to like like tap
on him. He's like I don't understand, Like what what do you?
Why? Like what is going on? And I kind of like slowly nudge
to mirror and just push him a little bit, like whether it's you,
Tamir or those those those fucking people other people like and you. Suke starts
to kind of like break down a little bit, like you see him just
kind of like like not saying the words correctly. He's like, I don't
want to do this, and he just kind of like keeps pushing, pushing.
I don't want to do this. I don't want whatever you're asking me.
No, no, and I just keep it like pushing. He's like,
damn it and like a frustration blood your move, Yeah, not a
frustration. Maybe you're pushing on him a little bit, and then he realize
that one he's not responding, and two, in this emotional state that you're
simmering in, it's not really ta Mere's fault. And you find yourself once
again in a bit with your hands still bandage, still freshly bleeding from the
glass that you just pulled out of it that anger, that aggression, you
find yourself pushing on your friend, and you maybe have to catch yourself when
you stop and you realize it, this is not helping your situation and it's
not making you feel better. Maybe I just saw something. I'm assuming I'm
still kind of bleeding from my hand and me doing what I just did.
You wouldn't bound it. It's just it's just got to see a little little
bit it's not really had that chance. I would take some bandages and like
cloth and like whatever blood I might have gotten onto miror by being a little
too aggressive, by like just like trying to wake him up, I would
like clean it off and like just yeah, and then just kind of like
put the rag down and just sigh and just walk out. And you go
put on your fancy clothes. Maybe you try to tell yourself that whatever you
heard didn't even happen, and you join the rest of your crew. You
and Alia do both wear a similar kind of face shield that makes it hard
for you to be recognized. And as all of you cross into the main
station, a ship arrives, it docks. You can't miss it, the
Corsair, and maybe even from the cantina, you can watch out the window
as the Corsair unloads two individuals strapped to boards like face mask on, binding
them, their hands and their feet bound, and guards on this station come
out and collect these two individuals from them. Samina is paid. She passes
the burst stick back to somebody else on the team, and her and her
crew one that Midleite knows all too well, stroll right into the station.
From across this rotund area where you sit at a cantina. She makes eye
contact with all of you. She waves my glass. I assume we have
already sat down and had to drink. Yeah, you've had, You've had.
It's been about two hours or so. Now, oh, if that's
the case, Well before she ever arrives, you know, Ali brought the
supplies and everything, and Jess, like tall said, as a wait for
Seul to manage his anger, she brings with her a giant almost like four
foot tall, one of those I don't know if you guys ever saw them
in Costco, but those giant ass teddy bears that are like pink and color
and goes. I don't know what you like, but I figured that since
you seem to have a little bit of stress, this might help. Perhaps
it's quite soft, Perhaps you can hug it release some of that stress.
Is that? Is that? Are you serious? I mean, why not
give it a hug? You should give it a hug. I just walked
past both of them. Just give it a hey, don't fight your feelings.
I'm just gonna keep walking. Were you going filing? There? Though?
You hear a voice that goes, where are you going? So fucking
you seem to be in a hurry last time at chapter ship's fueling, so
you've got at least a few more hours. I just I put my head
down and walked behind the crew. She stops, it goes one, two,
three, four, you're missing one? Oh my god, you can
count. She smiles a little bit at your cheeky comment. She says,
I hope everything's okay. Not now, Samina, what I was just showing
concern last time you saw him, you weren't so concerned for his well being?
Where are you? Oh? If I remember correctly, I saved him.
He was running around the stacks where he didn't belong. Is that why
he came back with a stab wound? I just said, you gave him
from Samina? Look at me? Do I look like I could stab anyone?
Yes? I put my drink down heavily on the table and I kind
of leaned forward. Let's say I'm looking and yes. She goes, well,
you clearly overestimate me. He doesn't even think I can count. Now,
I think you're used to being underestimated. Oh well, She looks around
it the rest of you and goes, now, I know where she's your
captain. She says, maybe I did, maybe I didn't stab him,
doesn't matter. He was hiding something. I mean, that does not seem
like an appropriate response simply because someone's hiding something. Oh please, Aliah,
you've come to and fro every inch of this fucking star system. You know
good and well, have yet to stab a single one. If I wanted
him dead, I would have killed him as I'm going to take a sip
of my drink and under my breath, I'm just gonna family. You can,
and she goes though you you're curious. She got a point right at
Seul. Last time I checked, you were rotting on an asteroid. It's
funny your father's mind is worse off than you, And she kind of gestures
to you physically, noting the scarring and the harsh reality of the life that
you lived in this prison. He is well, he is serving his purpose.
Do I know, because since I was on a rock, that he's
dead or no? Okay, you have no idea. You probably assume your
father's living the best life ever under your name right now, and then she's
probably his girlfriend. Well, listen, I don't whatever he has he deserves
if his mind is slipping, good for him. Just whatever you two do,
just lean me out of it. I'm a second both of you.
No, she said, dude, have to worry your father is what do
they call it? A vegetable? He's a piece of flesh, little bag
of meat. He's simple a flegetable. Wow, I still gonna put this
like drink down, very hot, like suddenly, what do you mean a
vegetable? I mean soul? You think by now that she would know the
ways of your father. Here's a soft spot for or had a soft spot
for lost children, those charity cases. She looks over at a lot of
Aliah when she says that, you know, likes to take in the riff
raff at the mention of a childer, I'm gonna look at Tao. He
made a mistake. I guess. I don't exactly know what's happened to him,
but the doctor say his brain has turned to liquid. Currently he is
being tended and cared for by a young boy he brought in just before,
well before he became a vegetable. I'd say that I cared, but I
don't. She smiles, a very cheeky smile, For in his absence,
I have been able to step into my rightful place. I make a rather
good businesswoman. And now I can assure that ever slavery rink he was running
has been shut down. I'll lifts her class. Well, you've done one
good thing, takes a small drink, puts it back down. I raised
my glass a little bit as well, and then drinks as well. So
is your father did? In technicality, no, but who gives a fuck
anyways, it's a slimebag, scum of the earth. But no different,
she smiled. She says, if you think so, But we all do
what we must to survive. What staying in his good graces and in his
eyesight or benefit to me whatever, Just I'm just gonna start jointing drinks at
this point, and she goes, well, I collected what was left of
the pirates. We've already cashed in on that, so be out of here
no time. She stops and she looks at Malik, and she goes,
oh, I wanted I just wanted to come and say hello to my sister.
Oh, and Malik. Of course, it's been what three months?
Oh? Has it time fly? So? I'm sure it does when you
don't have a clock. I'm not a big fan of him, anyway,
you know technology who needs it? That's what I say. Yeah, well
somebody must have cared for you, because here you stand, he said,
yes, the darkest thing. Well this is sufficiently awkward. The very things
to do with my time. Yeah, if you ever decide to take a
better company, you always have a place on my ship. There's a little
strain is coming to you. And before she gets up anywhere, though,
she goes around and like steps in front of Samia and actually goes behind something
like on the other side and kind of blocking in and goes before you go
at home. I think you deserved I think you owe them something, an
apology. I choke a little on my drink. Oh, sister, I
know that we left that hour place together, and I know for whatever reason
you think I owe showly something. I never said you old hurt anything.
And for whatever reason you think that, I am swear look empathetic to their
calls, to anybody's calls, but I don't owe any one of them an
apology. Last time I checked, he stepped in on a business deal of
mine, causing me many a problem. All of you came into my territory
and the Hammarabi system mess things up. For me and mine came snooping about.
Then you dropped the name of the head of the syndicate. They started
snooping about, and then before I knew it, I was roped into some
scheme where you were going to take the place of your father. I don't
only use people any apology. I'm sorry that little drug thing was my operation.
And you cut yourself in and I cut your ass back out. She
smiled, and she says, so you think, okay, you still stabbed
some innocent person, an innocent person that is not proven. And I've stabbed
many a person and I'm not going to apologize for them or to them.
More importantly, he's harboring information than I want that Tam or wherever he is.
I believe that he's come in contact with somebody that I have long sought.
So you stabbed them. I don't. I don't understand your logic.
She is what you believe them and not me. It's not the question of
belief. Sometimes the action speaks louder than words. I'm trying to help you.
I know what you stand for, even you, even though you are
methods are unscupulous. She says, you've never tried to help me. If
you to help me, you wouldn't have let surely dump me in that orphanage
with the rest of the kids grow up in the cellar of Coriolis. You
got to travel the stars with a magic hiety I had to do. You
think that's what this is about. Do you think that's what I experienced some
vacation. Do you think that I was sipping magritas or some drinks out in
space all along, having the good old time? Because I don't know.
You think I don't know what you experienced because you never came to find me,
because I couldn't find you, sis, because we could not do more.
I was on the run. This conversation had multiple times, and I
can't seem to convince you, and you can't seem to convince me. But
I am trying to find a middle ground. Please at least reach over on
your side. I will not say that I'm sorry, not until he gives
up what I want. He lied to me and the stacks. I asked
him very plainly why he was there. He lied. I hope you all
know what he's carrying, Tamir. If it isn't true that he has his
hands on what I seek if you think I'm the only person hunting it,
you're wrong. Now where were we? Oh? Yes, I was leaving.
She stands. She says it was rather serendipitous to run into all of
you, as I guess. You leave this system, though you're far unsuited
for its harsh realities. Not to mention, well, she kind of points
it, so he is, of course the beacon of light, pointing blame
to whoever it was that blew open that prison. There will be many pirates
coming. We're just the first. Before she leaves, all Yah tries to
slip her a button to something that she picked up that she knows that she
like, some kind of a treat that she likes, just as as out
of a habit and maybe she's got a bag. You can make a infiltration
check. Okay, you can make an infiltration check if you would like to
try to slip it in her bag without her knowing. You get it in
the bag, but it's whether or not she notices. Okay, okay,
let me find my stuff. But infiltration, which would not be my thing.
Fuck, let's see if this works. Nope, didn't work. Okay,
she sees you put it in. She doesn't say or do anything.
You know. She's always cool as a cucumber. Her crew, though this
might be the first time all of you of Late Eyes and her crew except
for Malik Malik has seen the crew. Not what you'd expect. This is
like three Stooges level crew at least to first appearance ever see smoke on aces.
It's the Redneck brothers. What looks like, Yes, yes, the
Redneck brothers. The two redneck brothers, the very quiet one, and I
feel like there's a fourth one. But there's a big guy, like a
brute brute strength one. But yes, she smiles and she says, I'm
sure I'll see you around. Though I just been listened less time on correolists.
It's rather volatile. Bye, and she kind of sachets off away,
leaving what I imagine is a big dense hole of silence at this table.
Uh. Malik leans back and slides his tablet on top of the table and
leaves it there for a second and then hits send dot. If you recall
about three months ago, I was a fifth crew member on board the Corsair
and I was their sensor operator who operated circles around their entire crew. And
I remember this I did happen to download their shipping history and their codes and
all that fun stuff. You know. The portal master here seemed to be
pretty adamant about keeping his sector safe and about the existence of pirates. So
I'm just gonna go ahead and send their uncoded transponder to him so that he
knows that whatever they're flying apparently is not what they're actually. A general,
that's a lot to do, I would say, you definitely type it out,
no problem, Let's see what happens. Let's see what acts the world.
I'm hacking it. Hack the world. I'm hacking it. I'm gonna
give you all the darkest points. I'm giving a shit, this is happening.
One success is one enough. One is enough. And send it out
to the local doc master, like the man. Yeah, whoever's like the
local whoever makes for their local enforcement. All right, this goes out,
and promptly as it does, something else happens. A young man walks up.
He wears a formal suit, his name badge, and then under it
says court here, and he says, there's clearly awkward silence at this table.
I don't mean to interrupt, and he kind of like stands at attention.
But all of you have a request I mean a letter, I mean
a message. You have received a message from Coriolis. Spit it out,
kid, I don't, I can't. It's you have to get from the
kind of points over like you're gonna have to get it somewhere else. He
goes, I can't. It is it? It came in coded. It
has to be approved to direct for a towel, Tuma, I slam my,
drink down and stand up. Where do I go? And he points
to like a like an open circle desk type thing. It's almost like a
help desk, an infodesk. To claim that, and as maybe towel stands
to go claim the message that you received from Coriolis. The camera cuts inside
of an empty defiant to a jar that SIT's on a table. It vibrates
and rattles and it shakes. It vibrates like a phone all the way off
the edge of a table and falls to the floor. It rolls for a
second, and there's a moment where you think it might break open. It
doesn't. But if you lift them closely enough, if you can hear the
sound of sobbing of tears of sorrow and pain. And directly above Malik's room
is the medical bay where his brother lays strapped to a table. Where his
brother lay strapped to a table in the silence of nothing but the boopoop m
of a medical machine. To mirror sits straight up, eyes wide open,
takes in a deep breath, and comes to strapped to a table alone in
the medical bay. Next week we'll find out who has contacted you from Coriolis,
what happened to Tamir? And well there's still a girlfriend in the jar.
Oh and I guess we'll see if anything becomes of the Semina situation.
You know, dot fuck off, you said it was time, Mike,
