The show you're about to listen to was originally a live streamed actual play on
twitch dot tv slash On Made Gaming Arise, millions and welcome to this unmade
gaming production. Join us on our adventures as we take a jump to the
left, a step to the right, and time work all around the multiverse
to find out exactly how to save the town of Garrett in this original Tales
from the Loop actual play Atari Twilight rollout. And before we continue on,
I need to let you know that Atari Twilight is a story about the eighties,
played in the eighties using the Free League's Tales from the Loop system.
Let's get ahead a little bit. You'll understand the Atari Twilight of our particular
world is an eighties, a variation of all the eighties that ever was.
Our heroes are kids. Will be traveling between these different variations of the eighties,
learning important facts to hopefully take back with them to their own reality.
Secrets abound, hidden presidential bunkers, potential allies, and secrets of the loot,
all revealed in the copies of their world. But between all of these
different eighties spread out like rose in a garden. Between all of these eighties,
some things never change. The music is the same, the movies,
the books, TV, pop culture all the same. Everything that you remember
or heard about happened. As for our sandbox, Garrett, Maryland is at
the heart of it all. There five kids seek to save not just their
eighties, but all of the eighties that ever were, including our own.
And their way stands a cadre of forces so fantastic that only the Greatest Decade
could house them. Characters from television, movies and novels walk the streets of
Garrett. The Transformers, Gremlin's, ThunderCats, night Rider, the characters of
King's book books, and many more are all present. Garrett Maryland, their
hometown, is at the heart of it all. It is where the fate
of everything will be decided for those it holds. The Loop a great,
mysterious research facility, a miraculous particle accelerator that powers not only scientific progress,
but the imagination. And this vast and terrible loop will be the armageddon of
all existence. In this the last year of the Greatest Decade, Here in
nineteen eighty nine, all will be decided, for good or ill the end
of the age, and this tale is upon us. Four years over one
hundred and forty songs, ultimately forty episodes in the making. Comes down to
this. We return to n eighties here in Garrett in the Highlands of Maryland.
When last we saw our heroes, they were faced with an army of
parental robots, a missing friend, and a mysterious adult. But then that
was then. Where are we now? The only way to go forward is
to go back back one last time to our story, our eighties. Back
one last time for the love and memories. Back one last time to stand
with our fantastic heroes. George Butts, a human robot hybrid looking for his
place. Jerry Baker. Can he control the rage and electrical powers inside him?
Shannon Locke, she hovers close to the darkness? Is she too close?
Ben Mackenzie currently m Ia or is that Kia Casey? Mitch Mitchell,
the last of his kind? And rob Ott, the youngest among them and
the current target of a dozen killer robots. Welcome one and all to the
End of an Age. Welcome my friends to Atari Twilight Rollout Episode five,
Death in the Family, My Friends. A few things to go over before
we start. We have our Spotify playlist, which is a current collection of
this episode soundtrack. It's songs from the eighties and I few would. I
think it might be best just to get things started. But the very top
track by one Jonathan bon Jovi, it is Blaze of Glory. Go ahead
and que that up for me if you would. And as the non Richie
Sambora guitar kicks in, I will let my players know this. Your luck
and pride is restored. So if you have pride that you have used,
it is back. If you can, are you or young enough to replenish
your luck, you can do so. At this point, I would like
to ask the group to select one person from your number. I don't care
who it is. This person can roll lead if you have any successes.
For every success that you achieve, you will be awarded two dice. Those
dice can be given to any of your friends in any role they have tonight.
But keep this in mind. Anyone that rolls lead right now cannot do
so next session. Who would like two roll lead? It feels like a
trap. We need it tonight. Um, I have a little to no
capacity. I have a moderate high capacity, you say, I have a
pretty decent stat in heart and lead, so I can also do it.
Yeah, I have consider gets kind of lucky your episode. I have eight
dice for really six Yeah, I have six. So apparently apparently my capacity
was greatly exaggerated. I have a I have a two. All right,
Well, why don't we make its story? Um, that's what I'm thinking.
It's appropriate. Amy's errands. I'm I'm wondering if if that's going to
be a robot night. Yeah. No, I'm down for it. I'll
do it. Let's uh, hold on your butts. I love this plan.
Hold on to me. It's good. It's a good time to spend
a lucky Yeah, I will. Yeah. I would just say you do
have a luck that you can't spend on this. Of course you could push
it, but that would give you a condition. Yeah, we're gonna,
we're gonna, we're gonna luck that out. Let's luck it out there you
go, So, my friend, the luck pays off, and as you
use your luck to reroll this particular skill lead, you have two successes.
Those two successes equate to four dice. Those dice you can give to anybody
else, not yourself, anybody else for any role that they have. UM,
so you as the de facto leader for episode five, Death in the
Family can aid in any way that you see fit for whatever role you see
fit. Um, my friends, one other thing, I will let you
know that currently, as the mechanics of Tales from the Loop go, you
have two problems. Now you have ninety nine problems, but you've got two
big problems. An army of robots that seem to want to have rob and
Ben is locked inside the Altar Boys and Girls Club. Presumably of all the
information you've gathered, those are your two problems. By hook or by crook.
They will be solved by either you or me by the end of this
episode. So, my friends, I ask you now, let's start at
the paperback Exchange, and everyone I need you to. I know it's tough
to cut off John Bon Joobi, but let's go ahead and do so,
and instead que up from me a little iron maiden wasted years. So if
you go down to track number seven, que up that little ditty inside the
paperback exchange. Gary the Apprentice, the helper, the aid of Maggie who
owns the shop, is staring out the window at an approaching horde. This
horde, though it is many, consists of only two faces, one a
masculine Aaron and two a feminine Amy. These two representations, as they are
duplicated in various forms and faces, are the faces of rob Ott's parents.
Rob is also inside the store, as is Jerry Baker and Mitch, my
friends. The three of you, in addition to Gary. The three of
you see this force coming. Rob, I believe you are right at the
window, and you notice the turn as they marched and began to chant Rob,
Rob, Rob again. The voice's uniform. It is the same across
all models of Aaron and Amy. They are approaching. They are not running,
but they are striding with purpose. And so, my friends, I
will ask you inside the paperback exchange, what do you do? What the
hell is that noise? Uh? Bro? Bro? But the back door,
back door, back door, back door, And Rob's gonna start backing
up and just kind of point out the window. My parents parents are pissed.
What did you do? I don't know. And He's gonna turn and
just start be lining it for the back door. Gary gets close to the
door and he sees this. And now Gary, who's from this particular garret,
is I guess maybe more comfortable with these these automatons that are going around
these errands and these amys, and he says, what's going on? These
things are they're not doing what they're and he locks the door. They're not
gonna get in. They can't the gas, they can't break anything. There
there there, they don't do that. There there there, there's there's saying
my name and I don't exist. Yeah, this is some This is some
Isaac asim Off shit. This is um, just stay cool. Why don't
you guys hide in the back. Gary, do you pick up ways at
all? Gary? You're the biggest one here besides uh Jerry. Again,
Gary looks like a young Breton Michaels, the lead singer of Poison. Um.
If there was a weight that ever found its way into Gary's hand,
it was surely by accident. Um. He is right, Yeah, this
is this is the young Brett before he fell prey to uh, you know
course banquet Um. Okay. He realizes that he has the strength of robot
um and he's gonna look to uh to to uh to Jerry. Jerry,
can we grab one of the bookshelves, grab the magazine record like Breakfast Club
Style? Oh, hold on, hold on, Jerry's gonna walk up to
the front door sign it closed. I don't think that help. It goes.
It goes from open to the closed but not forever hand written sign as
it flips over to close but not forever. As you do so and turn
back around, I would like Rob and I would like Mitch to roll me
and investigate as at this moment, as as Jerry kind of turns the sign
and then turns back to you, all Gary does the same. And that's
like the two of them facing you with the on rush of the crowd behind
it. Mentioned Rob, give me a role one success from Mitch to success
for rup Um. You may bank a success frags so Um go ahead and
keep that if you need it for an investigate role in the future. Both
of you bear witness as one of the Amy's picks up what appears to be
a parking meter. You see her pull it out of the cement on the
sidewalk and she throws it through the window. As it strikes Gary. Gary
smashes into the glass case. You see, just because it's glass and because
of the ability to kind of see through the corner of it, that he
struck that. As he strikes the corner, you see a gout of blood
go across the top of the countertop, the one where he was sitting getting
the comic books ready to go out to their individuals that had them pulled for
this particular week's run, and as a punisher, War Journal that was actually
Gary's begins to get doused in his own blood. He falls to the ground
and you can see he's still moving, but he is horrifically wounded. My
friend, what do you do? I feel like as that happens, you
just hear no, oh shit, oh shit, oh shit, no no
no no, no no no no no, as it like smashes through the
window. Oh we gotta go, Rob, we gotta go. What did
you do? Yeah? I mean I made my bed? Fuck you,
Jerry? Can you just can you laser fingers all of them back door?
I'll I'll be up. He's gonna die. Yeah, Rob's gonna kind of
go to Gary and make sure he's breathing. He is, but when he
looks up you realize that and then maybe a bit of a graphic warning here
that a large section of his forehead and face don't seem to be attached as
well as they used to be. It seems as if he has kind of
cut large section of himself. Um. He looks up. One of his
eyes seems to be clouded and partially like uh, off center, and you
see him reaching for your hand. Rob. This is You're gonna good.
He's gonna gonna be all over over Gary, Holy shit, I mean it's
uh uh and he's gonna He's kind of look back at Gary and back and
forth, and just he grabs your hand and you feel him press his keys
into your palm, and then you see him drop to the ground of the
paperback exchange. We we we we we gotta good. Go Gary's Gary's gone.
He's gone. He's He's gone, He's gone, and he's just gonna
keep saying it. And then while looking at the key in his hand,
I think I think Mitch is like in the process of like tearing shirt whatever
whatever cloth he can find to try to wrap his hand. Uh. And
when when he hears Um Rob saying that, he just kind of stops and
there's like a rip in his shirt another rip from the previous stab wound um,
and he just quickly throws everything that he was working on in a bag
um the cool radio shack back back um and throws that over his shoulder Um
and just like grabs Rob and like or follows Rob. The two of you
can do just that, bitters. As Jerry kind of turns back around,
you see the rush of these there again. They're not they're not running,
but they're striding almost in a military type of precision, and they are beginning
to funnel towards the door, or I guess more specifically towards the whole that
the smashed parking meter created. And you can see the front, which is
an errand the first one with a long step stepping over the broken and sharded
glass of the now sundered door, the open and closed sign caught on one
of the fragments just below the floor, just above the floor. What do
you do, my friend? As you hear the commotion in the background of
He's gone and the scrambling of Mitch to grab the tools of his trade,
Jerry's Jerry's gonna shout, nope, nope, hold on, okay, Jerry's
gonna shout move now, and he's going to do what he can to try
to channel a beam of electricity into this crowd for a bus. Rollma force,
my friend, and as you do so, everybody, please go up
and if you will go down to track number twelve, stand Bush's dare queue
that up single success, My friend. There are two ways to do this.
There is the green Lantern way, which is with a closed fist,
and there is the Emperor Palpatine way, which is an open hand. How
do you cast lightning from your body? I feel like Cherry's dad was a
Palpatine, so he's a He's a green lit the brightest day and darkest night.
Then as you turn, if Rob and Mitch were to turn back,
you would see as Jerry pushes forward with his right hand, he grabs his
hand with his wrist, his right hand with his left, his left hand
with his to his right wrist, and you see a brilliant explosion of light
and to make the hairs on the neck and your arms stand up. The
smell of ozone to catch the air as that first errand that was coming in
stepping over the broken glass is electrified, and like chain lightning or a bug
zapper, it lances out to the next seven in the line, and all
of them in an almost comic fashion. The only thing missing is the outline
of a skeleton, as they just freeze and you see them moving and an
incredibly inhuman and erratic pattern. Their heads will spin about fifty degrees the wrong
way as they try to reorient themselves. Their elbows and knees bend like an
ostrich wood in the opposite direction. As you hear like the over extension of
joints clicking beyond their normal use, and as you hear and see all of
this, Jerry, you're able to back away as you maintain this blast that's
coming from your hand. But even though it lasts for a good ten seconds,
on that eleventh second it's gone, there is a quiet for a moment,
the chance of stopped, and slowly you'll hear two things, rob rob,
and the sounds of police sirens as you all disappear through almost Homer Simpson
style, into the beaded curtain that separates the public space of the paperback exchange
with the rear office. We cut over to Ping's Fine Chinese Cuisine, which
is just a mirror two blocks away, but not directly inside. For inside
sits Shannon Locke in conversation with a woman that has identified herself as doctor J.
Thrice, but across the street in an alleyway, making sure his friend
is safe and overseeing the area is George, without the need for a role
rhino. George definitely hears this commotion, these crashes of cars or these cars
that are stopping, and then this almost like hearing a football game from a
couple of blocks away, you hear that Rob, Rob Rob, and then
in the distance even beyond that, you hear the first kind of screech and
squawk of a police siren. What do you immediately do, my friend,
as you see that something is wrong or hear that something is wrong with this
Garrett, I'm gonna go to the bike. I believe her motorcycle is in
the alley with me, so I'm going to hopefully kick that, you know,
kick that on and get it over to the diner to help get her
out of there. Sure. Absolutely, And as you kind of go over
to her bike and prepare it for travel, I'd like you to roll me
and investigate one success. You don't feel you don't feel right, George.
Um, you can feel a You're sluggish. And in the corner of your
vision where you saw that that prompt that cursor, there's something flashing and when
you look at it, it looks like a little battery. Oh, I
would like you to take the condition exhausted Michigan number one great, okay um.
I think vision is swimming at this point too. It's almost even though
George may not have experienced this sensation, this is this is that moment when
you know you've had one too many to drink and you're losing equilibrium. The
horizon is betraying you. Okay, I think because it's happening so rapidly,
I think Butts is realizing it, and he's frantically going to if if the
motorcyclist have started yet, He's frantically going to kick that start, you know,
hit the kickstart, turn it around, and whether it's through the window
or in front of the door, he's gunning it full throttle to pings.
Sure, and as you go and gun it and you're absolutely ye would get
it started, and you go. I want you to roll me a force
as a wave of almost nausea kind of hits you as you go across it
is a zero. I will let you know that if you have luck,
you may roll it or you can push it for another condition. I don't
know if this is too early to use my pride either. My pride is
that I'm a survivor. There you go. So I think I want to
use my pride. I think it's thematically correct. Okay, So, just
when you feel like you're going to fall off of this bike, that you
are going to hit the ground, well before you hit the side of Pings
glass window and door, you are able to fight through a reserve and your
vision goes from a blur to a fair representation of a single expanse, and
you do smash through the glass. Shannon. You see the motorcycle, maybe
you hear it, maybe you know a beat before it actually explodes through the
front door. George. Just as you come through with that moment of clarity
your pride bought you, you see that that battery as it flashes, it
turns and does that kind of needled move and spins for a moment, and
you see four percent, and it turns back and the battery flashes and it
spins and says four percent. Shannon, your bike and your George comes smashing
through the front of Ping's Fine Chinese Cuisine, causing your conversation partner, doctor
Jay Thrice, to explode out of her chair, and you see that she
throws the saucer of her cop and it strikes George directly in the chest,
does no damage, but it seemed to have been pure reflex on her part.
As for a moment, the three of you are standing there and Thrice
just looks between the two of you, but before she questions. You can
see that now with the door shattered, even Shannon, without the need for
a role, you can hear the rob rob, rob, and the beginnings
of the police siren. With the crash, Shannon, what do you do?
Initial shock and after she throws the saucer. No, no, it's
just one of ours. That's are you okay? But the dramatic I wasn't
in trouble. We don't have time. Yeah, this has to do a
rob I'm guessing. And the acoustics happening. I'm kind of dying right now,
so we got to go. I can't explain it, okay, you
know how like gas tank's empty. That's happening right now right Um. She
turns to Thrice, So we might need your car because I don't have time
to see if that bike is going to make it. She throws you the
keys. Are you are you staying here? I'm going to take your bike.
If this is the end, then I will be at Alta. You
need your Ben. Yeah, we need to get Ben. And you'll have
to because I cannot. Well take this walkie talkie. She takes it out
of the backpack. We'll be in touch soon. Just keep it ons walkie
talkie. Is this, by the way, I know it's passed around,
So this is this is the grim walkie talkie? Yeah again? Right?
Um? She looks at she looks at the walkie talkie, but you see
her turn it around to look at the back yours. Yeah, I've gone
through a few. I'll keep it safe. Okay. Kicks up the bike
and starts pushing it out. Okay, but can you move or do you
want me to bring the car over here? I don't know. I'm just
really tired. Okay, I'll just I'll just get the car. I'll get
the car. You do that. She runs, not like exhaustively, but
she's she's prints to the around the corner to get to the suv. Right
right, And as we explained before, we're right around a little bit after
five o'clock. And even though this is early May, this is the mountains
of Maryland, and and night has fallen to the point where the sun is
no longer in the sky. And as you get to the car that has
parked in the Garrett police department. Um, you here, Where the hell
have you been? Uh? She turns to see who it is. It
is Dutch, Michigan number two, kind of dealing with the crisis. That's
a good. We've got to move the car. I know, I got
your note. A lot of other stuff is happening all at once, and
I had to cover matter matter. They're here. We need to move the
car. If they get the car, bad things happen. And I think
that Kni's flipped. I think he's talking with that FBI agent. We've got
problems. We need to get the car. We need to get it out
of town. That's our job. Okay, is there anyone else who can
get it? The hell are you talking about? No? Okay, I'll
get rid of the car. Okay, we have to get rid of it
together. You can't do it by yourself. I need you. As you
see Dutch inhale and he pulls back from you a bit. My friend,
if you are going to lie to Dutch, I am going to need you
to roll me a charm. It's my favorite stat I have the most it.
It's not the worst, actually, but it's pretty bad. Okay,
chat you with me. Nope, don't, don't chat. They're the ones
who've got us in this problem. Yeah, but they can get me out
of it too. Um oh, okay, you know what, I have
another Michigan that has already come in. If another Michigan were to come in,
I will make a declaration right now that it will be a positive one
that may help the group. But the ones that have already come in,
they're mine. All right. Fine, you may use your pride or you
may push this for a condition if you want to attempt to reroll that up
to you, meta, totally up to you, all right. Um,
but how did you get this? Like I said, dealing with my own
crisis. So we can take this, go get whatever. That's fine too.
Let me just start it up. She tries to go to the driver's
He jumps in the passenger seat. Okay, starts up the suv. Ye
take it to the back of the Feed and Breed. We'll be able to
get in there. And okay, damn, thing out of town sounds good.
You would know that the Feed and Breed. If we flip over to
the map, I believe the feed and breeds on there. The feed and
Breed is down at the edge of town. Currently you all are here and
the feed and breed is down here. Feed and Breed is like a livestock
store where the farmers also go to buy a grain and things of that nature.
It's a large, kind of rambling structure that has docks for loading large
trucks and you know the transportation of livestock. Again, it's an agricultural center.
But again it is beyond George Butts. My friend, what do you
do? My friend Willy? While we're waiting, let's play a little eighteen
in life by skid Row. That's track number four. It is doctor Thrice
still with me. Doctor Thrice is pushing the motorcycle out kind of left simultaneously
with Shannon, but we'll say we'll flashback just a couple of minutes, and
as Shannon left, doctor Thrice is pushing the bike out to start it up,
presumably to head towards the Alta Boys and Girls Club. She's still within
your earshot though. Yeah, at doctor, before you go, are you
a robot doctor? Human doctor? What kind of doctor are you? I'm
not a robot doctor. It's your battery. What do you mean you haven't
recharged? How do I recharge? Eugene rigged up your house back in Garrett,
so you and your mom would always be fully charged. You haven't been
there in a while. Huh not in a long time. I'm not a
robot doctor. Get any more slices? Actually, she points back inside the
restaurant. I sure, ping does. All right, We'll best to look
to you. You too, and she jumps on the bike, starts it,
and immediately moves north. You hear these sirens as the first police car
passes by your location, you know, towards the paperback exchange. You hear
them as the car goes by. You can hear now, with the kind
of the spread of sirens, that the entirety of the Garrett police force seems
to have been mobilized, which means there are now four active patrol cars in
the Garrett area. It flashes up again. Four. I'm gonna try to
use my Waukee talkie. Sure, and if all I can do is send
us one message or whatever, it's jazz Jazz eats help at the Palace.
It's coded enough to not be too generic, and code enough to be understandable
and I'm going to start looking to see if there is maybe a bike something
to help preserve my battery, and if orange slices. Maybe eating will help
some too. I don't know. I'll just start stuffing stuff like I don't
even care when I'm eating. I'm like a shover. And there's plenty of
I don't want to say, discarded food. There was plenty of like like
order up food that wasn't taken anywhere with the arrival. Your arrival through the
front, so you're able to like, you know, grab wanton and things
like that as you're you're just kind of shoveling in your face and you do
know that just part right outside is the Pingmobile. Well, I gotta take
the pingmobile. Greg, I you don't have to, but it would be
wrong with me if I didn't. I will immediately go to the Pingmobile.
Hopefully the keys are still in it or it doesn't require a key. Ope,
it's ready to go. I hop on it, and I unfortunately won't
go to help my friends. I think I have to go to the butts
of state. Let's see about recharging. Okay, As you get on the
Pingmobile and head even deeper into Garrett let's go ahead and move you then towards
on the map. You're en route to the butts of State. Shannon is
en route to the feed and Breed put her about right there, and the
rest of the autobots are at the paperback exchange. Where As the pingmobile moves
off, our camera lances up through the sky and wheels through a now chaotic
garret as there are automobiles that were abandoned by these errands and Amy's. And
as we flash through the streets in front of the store where Rob had been
standing and kind of looking through the glass in the display window seeing his mother,
and they're presented as like a customer goods, you see that there are
workers that are coming out and they're waving what looks like a wand around and
hitting buttons. And when they hit a button, you see one Amy kind
of fall limp. One Errand kind of fall limp, still maintaining that standing
posture, but their shoulder slump and their heads slump. And before these wands
can matriculate through more and more Amis and errands, the others fall on them,
and in a cloud of chaos, these workers are dismembered. Let's cut
back to the paperback exchange. You all are passing out through the back.
There is the sounds of chaos, the sounds of sirens, the sounds of
police presence here in sleepy garret or not so sleepy garret anymore. But in
front of you is the nineteen seventy nine Camaro of one Gary. What do
you do, Greg? When do we hear Butts his message? We will
say it'd be right about now, okay, great, as soon as you
get outside you would be That would sink you guys back up to be there.
So I think Mitch has one ready, and he was like pulling it
up to his face as Butts his message squawked out, and he completely ignores
that, clamps down on the button, and he just yells into this may
day, may day, may day, may day, may day, may
day, robs them to attack by all the robots, so many robots,
may day, may day, may day. Uh. And then that continues
for too long. Um, as he is scrambling to get into the camaro,
this would be heard by George and presumably doctor Thrice. But um,
George, you can respond if you would like, as you are traveling north
on the pingmobile. Yeah, I think I would say sorry, recurred,
like my voice would start dipping down a slowdown because of my battery is so
low. Well done, you're calling him broken. Maybe robots robots over God
our good charge. See now, everybody, if you've been with us for
a while, uh, this is the moment where we've often talked about.
Frag said it last week, Um crying Wolf for the cardiac arrest. You
know, if, if, if rob would ever have a real cardiac event,
no one will believe it. Um Rhino has fucked with these walkie talkies
the entirety of the series, and now when it's necessary to really convey emotion,
it only sounds like he's fucking with Mitch, which I love making the
slowdown voice. So anyway, everybody remember but faced with robot Armageddon, listen,
if you are ever handed in the Apocalypse or anytime, if you're ever
handed what looks like Ami Taki, it's not a toy, could be could
save your life. Absolutely So at this point, two bidders, you would
be the last one out as you kind of pass in through the bead beaded
curtain, through the very back door that leads to the outside into the the
May fifth Air and as you move out into this area and presumably close the
door, you can hear now that even the ones that were stunned, wounded,
destroyed that you hit with the lightning, there is at least some type
of presence inside the paperback exchange. Now, of course it's beyond you can't
see it, but you know that they're in where the comic books are and
where the public would be purchasing things, and they're coming your way. Yeah.
Yeah, Jerry will follow up the rear, making sure that that Rob
is keeping up. Basically, Um, he's he's when they get outside,
he's not even worried about shot. Then he's just everyone's been a kid in
the vehicle. He just seems panicked. Um do you put do you offer
where? Who who sits down? Wear them? If if Jerry's last,
he's just gonna try to push everybody in the car. Um, who's driving
is up to the other two? Rob, you d got the key,
I got the key? So Rod rolling a sinker? Okay, this is
a stick shift nineteen seventy nine camaro Oh that's nice. Do you want Mitch
to drive? He did drive the battlewagon. Yeah, but for the story's
sake, we're gonna watch me fumble this bag. Okay, yeah, yeah,
yeah, so yeah, okay, you got Okay, listen, you
have to you gotta press it the third pedal and at the same and then
you gotta slowly look your knock on the back door. You do, and
there's that very awkward exchange of crossing over the bucket seats while inside the passenger
inside the front of right right, And as explained before in nineteen seventy nine,
camaro can comfortably fit one person. And so as you are all like
trying to like Jenga your way around here, I would like you each to
roll me a move. You love that this is a combined role. I
would like to have two successes. It could be from one person or there's
one. There's one, So Jerry is in case, just Jerry, Jerry
aids. And so as everybody is kind of moved and shifted into position,
you know, with a slam Mitch you're put behind the steering wheel, roll
me a tinker and with our as the Camaro kind of pulls out from the
back, just as the rear door explodes, and three ams and two errands
kind of almost stumble and pile out like you know, World War Z kind
of style. As they tumble out. Um, they get up and they
begin that stalk towards the rear of the Camaro. Rob. As you kind
of turn around from that, you can see the through the lines of the
froster on the back of the Camaro winder went winder window. You can see
the errands and the Amy's turning towards you as they begin the march towards the
back of the camaro. Um, where is your destination, my friend?
You know? Greg? Destination? Unknown? Um? I definitely think we
do hit a trash can and it just skiters across the ground and that cinematic
kind of thing. Um and Mitch just because they killed carry man, where
are we going any anyone way? Give where? Um? I don't know.
Man, it killed Gary. I saw that the Javelindum, the chest?
Where where? Where? Where are the others? No? No,
no, it was his head. I think the glass cabinet got his head.
But yeah, Hei the way uh. Um, Um, is there
anywhere that your parents ate? My room? Is your house here? Do
you have a house here? No? That isn't the answer I expected.
Christ. No, it's the last place they'd expect um. He he is
like, he has one hand on the wheel. Um, this is kids
don't do this at home. He has one hand on the wheel before texting
existed, and he's rummaging around trying to find that walkie talkie across the road.
Uh, He's like, but but jed, where are you over,
Shannon Rooney? A move, Shannon. You are able to move the suv
out of the way, just as a nineteen seventy nine Camaro almost carens into
it and you are traveling in the opposite direction. You spin around as it
comes into your lane for a moment, you hit the side, take a
little bit of dust with you as you continue towards the feed and breed.
And Dutch's head whips around as he looks back, and he goes, the
hell is that it's a Seville guys car? Gary? Okay, so he's
probably drunk. I don't know how wasn't him? What do you mean he's
friends with those guys? Is that them? I don't know. I was
trying to not crash into another car. What should we do? Should we
get him? I wanting to deal with the car? Yeah? Yeah,
all right? Okay? Is that what you still want to do. Yeah,
yeah, yeah, we got to. If Nis turned, then they're
gonna get it, and that's you can't have that. Do we need to
track down me? Not yet, We've got to take care of him though,
Okay, And again you're kind of moving away from the chaos as the
Camaro spins, as Mitch is screaming into a Mitchie talkie, as everybody else's
in the after effects of either producing it a bioelectrical blast or witnessing the friendly
comic book Nerd to get destroyed by his parents. You pull up in front
of the Feed and Breed, which seems to be empty at this particular moment,
which is odd. It's the end of the day. It usually doesn't
stay open late, but there should still be somebody here, and go around
back to the to the warehouse in the bag and holes around to the back
of the ware the warehouses, and you can see that though he's not sweating,
Dutch is very he's moving, he's he's animated. And because if he's
anything like you're Dutch, uh, that's a that's his nervous tell you know,
he's just he's very kind of wiggly. Yeah, okay, you want
to grab the ramp. You want me to grab the ramp. No,
you can grab the ramp, but can can you like take a breath.
You're gonna lose your ship in a second here, all right, I just
got I got worried. I couldn't get a hold of you. I thought
it was him. I thought it was maybe. I don't know, I
didn't know. This day has been everything's hit the fan, literally everything.
Cops are at the house this morning. It was just like a whole thing.
Yeah, I was for my dad. That's why I said I had
to deal with my own crisis. That's crazy, Okay, I'm sorry.
I didn't have any idea. Yeah, I mean I couldn't. I couldn't
even really tell anybody because I was making sure, you know, nobody said
anything they weren't supposed to. So I'm sorry I can't. You know,
during the day, I know it's okay, all right, listen, what's
the plan. I'm gonna go grab the ramp. You go in the warehouse
and get the card. Don't let it, you know, do its thing.
Just can ignore it and get it out here. Okay, got it?
Easy? Easy? Right? Simple? Um. He walks with you
and you see him go over to one of the loading docks and he grabs
a massive ramp that is maybe you know, ten feet wide with a fifteen
foot slope. It's reinforced with the metal. There are no wheels on it,
and he begins to drag it over to the far warehouse. Wow,
okay, yeah again Dutchess played by River Phoenix and rest in peace. River.
He could not move a dock of this size. Yeah, she's going
to pretend to not be surprised, but in her head being like, oh
shit, buh shit, bullshit, and go into the warehouse to look for
the car that she's not supposed to talk to. As you open up kind
of the regular personnel door, you see a completely dark warehouse, just enough
of the night has passed. There are no windows in this area. This
is something where at one point they had livestock that would stay in here,
and this is the type of livestock you don't want to know if it's if
you have chickens in here, you don't know one of them, know what
time of day it is. So there are all the windows are blacked out
if they're already to begin with, And as you walk in in this total
darkness, your sense is begin to take over, as that bleed of darkness
turns into almost a black and white that creeps away from you as your heightened
senses kick in. But before it can extend into the very depths of this
warehouse, you see a red light go and you hear a voice saying,
have you come to finish me? Off? Depends on your definition of finish.
I will give you none of the information that you require. I will
never betray them, I understand, and I'm not asking you to pustray anybody.
Actually, I was told not to talk to you, and so maybe
we can have a very brief, brief conversation about how we can help each
other. Let me free. I have been monitoring the police bands. It
appears that there is a malfunction with the automatons in the town that only happens
on one occurrence. My friends are here, So are you happy that they're
broken or not. I'm not happy that they are broken, and they get
that. But I am happy to know that my friends are here. I
would find my friends, and how many friends do you have, because that's
a lot of people that you might need to find, well, not people
necessarily. Well, I hope that I am going to be finding four maybe
five? Okay, maybe I can help you find them. You here outside
the as the drag is finished. We really don't have a lot of time.
Do you want my help or not? Why are you helping me now?
Because I'm not me Shannon hopefully the one that you want to help,
because if not, I'm probably going to die here. Get in and you
see Dutch pools the ramp up, and just as he turns to yell out,
hey, go ahead and bring it down, the front of the warehouse
explodes and Shannon, behind the wheel of the Night Industry's two thousand kit model,
explodes out down the ramp as Dutch watches you go by, as you
are maybe three feet from one another, as the car spins out, and
he watches you go past, and you see sadness in his face. What
are you doing? Do you say anything to Dutch in that moment that you
have to save my dad? That's what she says. We're not supposed that
you're out of earshot by the time you take to the area where are you
headed? She didn't plan that far ahead. She's like, Dutch is probably
gonna kill me if he finds out who I am Okay, So I think
she would probably go towards the paperback exchange, just because that's the direction that
the robots were kind of in, and just to see what's going on in
that in that space. Okay, So as you kind of like retrace your
steps, we'll go up to the north as the losing power. George Butts
is on the Wingmobile and it spins over, and you see two and the
battery, two and the battery. I need you to take another condition.
This one is afraid you begin to lose senses. With one blink of your
eyes, George, the world of Garrett is in full color, and when
you open them again, it's in a grainy black and white, as if
your visual acuity has been reduced to conserve power. You're hearing as you have
full audio capacity seems to be reduced from stereo to mono, as you can
only hear partially out of your left ear. Your senses begin to tingle,
your extremities, your your your toes, your your fingers as if they're asleep,
as if you've been lying on them awkwardly at night. It's almost getting
difficult to grip the wingmobile. As you turn down the street, that is
your home. George will do everything you can to keep that throttle going and
keeping himself onto the pingmobile. Hopefully the gate is open. If not,
he's still going to try to crash through it. He's a robot. Maybe
it'll work. The gate is open, and this is just by a matter
of happenstance. It seems that it's in the process or was in the process
of closing, but due to an electrical disturbance in town, the grid seems
to be rebooting, and the gate is kind of halfway open, and you're
able to get in, but you realize your parents are not here because they
are going to hot Tamali's. Wow, that's okay, I will let's.
Probably didn't even really know where to go. He would just assume maybe it's
the bed he lays in his own bed, that he'll start the recharging process.
He doesn't. I think everything's a flutter as far as cohesion of thoughts
and everything. So he just is thinking about parents at Tamali's. He's thinking
about the radio going off and him on his way here and losing senses and
everything, and then okay, I gotta gotta get to my bed again,
and in just a cycle of that as he stumbles through the house. As
you climb up into your room and your bed, this bed, this room.
That's so similar to the way you were before all of these experiences,
back with the double popped collars, back as the popular kid in middle school,
where the popularity of your peers was paramounts. And now you lay down
in your bed and roll me a At this point, I'm going to take
either a calculator, a program, or comprehend I think I might have with
these conditions, I'll be rolling zero. I guess the only roll too,
but yeah, I'll do a comprehend one success. As you are in your
bed, incapable of any type of sleep, even though you're extremely tired,
that flips over from two to the battery to one in the battery, and
one of your eyes goes dark as you are just looking out of your right
eye. Now gone is the ability to have any type of three dimensional rendering
of the place. And that's when it comes to you, that's you in
this world. You're not a robot here. This house wouldn't be powered or
wired for such. You and your mom weren't taken from another dimension and placed
here. This is where you always were. Therefore, Eugene Butts did not
have to wire this Garrett's home. And it flips over to one, and
as Chat already guessed, you are reminded of one other thing. You remember
that when your mom behaving very oddly, she ate grass. You have no
idea why, and you never did. I imagine at this point, I'm
crawling, so I'm whatever's in my way, it's getting slightly pushed the side.
I probably not even on my palms. I'm probably like dragging like a
like a primate as I go through the house again and open the back door
and face plant in the back lawn and just take a mouthful. And as
you do, you're literally the last couple as you're getting from the deck that
has the infamous Butts hot tub, as you are literally military low crawling.
You're dragging yourself across this patio for three four five six feet and you are
just able to get your head over the side and into the finely manicured lawn.
As you begin to chew on the grass, the world goes dark.
Back at the paperback Exchange or thereabouts, inside the nineteen seventy nine Camaro,
my friends, you are all witnessed to. Everywhere you turn there are amis
and errands, but at this point they're the populace of Garrett seems to be
trying to do something about it. You see people trying to herd them.
You see people putting up like a traffic kind of long saw horses trying to
keep them from moving, and they're just breaking through areas. If anybody gets
in their way, they go through them. The police are trying to stop
them conventionally, and then they begin opening fire on the amys and errands,
and you see that they take a hell of a beating before they go down.
Some of these cops are unloading six shots from their service revolvers. Again,
you're not the only vehicles driving. There seemed to be other people in
states of confusion that are either slowing down to rubberneck in an extreme situation,
or trying to get them out of this particular area. So, my friends,
as you are doing this and you're moving towards the center of town again,
what would you like to do? What direction are we going in?
Greg in the direction that you pulled out and came into. If you go
over to the I will show you you all would be right around this way,
heading north. Okay, heading north, and uh north is strangely enough
too, Yeah, north is this direction because of the weird way this map
is set up. Gotcha, gotcha? Gotcha? Okay, So we would
be heading vaguely in the direction of like Sarget's house. Yes, okay,
I think Mitch makes us Yeah, Mitch makes us snap decision. No one's
responding on the Mitchie talkie, and there is a clear emergency um and the
last person, the last place he knows anyone went is Jimmy went to Sarget's
house. So he floors it towards that street and he just takes an emergency
like hard left and like turns the car down that road. We gotta find
somebody. I don't know where to go. I'll go to Sergeant's house.
So, yeah, you're able to get to Sergeant's house very quickly, everybody,
if you would go over and kee up a track number three broken Wings
by mister, mister m you pull up outside, and even from this distance,
you can see that the front door is open, the flag is not
upthell or there's no flag on the flag pole, which even during the end
of the day, this should be the time we're sorry, just taking it
down for the evening. But it is not up. You're here? What
do you do? Is there like a car in the road? Is there?
You said? The door's open. Door seems to be open, which
is strange because Sarge was killed last night. Yeah. Are there any amy
and errands around? I'll give you this one for free. You see none.
I think he like hops a curb and pulls this thing across the grass
behind the house so you can't see it from the main road. Sure,
easy enough to do. Um, you have a kind of hidden in the
yard beside where Sarge. Would they quickly enough? You know? Sarge is
a small bungalow style house, easy enough to get either into his backyard or
around to the front, whichever you'd like to do. Because I don't I
don't know what. I don't know where. I don't know where Shannon is.
I don't know where. I don't know I don't know where I'm metching,
I don't know where Butts is. They want to kill you. Everyone
wants to kill me. You're probably fine, You're already dead, um right,
But maybe Sarge has guns or Jimmy or both Jimmy and guns. Jimmy
was supposed to be here, right right? Did you make Mitch? Mitch
looks at him and leans over and rolls the window down. He craigs,
so he's yelling in the car. But sorry, a lot that going on.
Yeah, I know, it's not every day you try to get killed
by your hundreds of robot parents. M and he just vague leap motions towards
the house. Did you want to go in? Yeah? Yeah, yeah,
And Rob's gonna open the door, um from the outside, Mitch.
Mitch leans over and pops the glove box, sees that there is no gun,
and closes it and gets out of the car as the Cinderella cassette drops
from the glove box, never to be listened to again. How do you
guys go up to Sarget's house in a panic quickly or by stealth? Quietly
or quickly? That's so I don't I don't know. I feel like robots
aren't gonna lay and wait, so I think I would probably just go in
because as as of right now, these robots haven't shown anything but direct for
skill, guil, guilt, So like Rob's not going to be worried that
they're hiding somewhere because he figures he'd probably hear him coming shout right that on
my Yeah, I'm also certain that if Jerry's got to squeeze out of the
back seat of a Camaro, it's not quiet. Sure, sure, so
um someone rolled me a. I'll take an investigate as you all approach the
house, I'll spend a look. Sure I go, I go, one
son of bitch, I don't, I don't, I don't get a look.
So it is Rob as you approach the house not necessarily being quiet,
but there's a lot of noise and garrett at this moment. So with your
one success here, you don't get close enough to sort of reveal yourself before
Rob. You hear a conversation going on inside the house, and by a
conversation, I mean that you hear moaning and a voice speaking. You're just
a little too far away to hear what's being said, though Rob's immediately gonna
put his finger over his mouth at the other guys. Keep two points,
yeah, Jerry, you you you, you stay here, keep a look
out when this is this kind of a waste of my skills. But okay,
yeah, yeah, people are gonna be very confused. Run in,
We run in and just tackle them. Well, let's this is listen to
what's going on first, you know, what if what if we go go
in there and it's it's it's a good guy torture toward toward torture and the
bad guy. Okay, I have an idea, Jerry, take out your
walkie. I'm gonna click it three times, and if I click it three
times, you run in. Okay, great, and then we try to
clip now sure, sure, yeah, you creep towards the house, everybody
for no reason whatsoever. Go ahead and queue up oh track number six by
the Talking Heads Psycho Killer. Goddamn. There you see. We're gonna give
this to Rob. Since Rob rolled the investigate, that was success. As
you get closer Rob, you're you begin to hear this conversation first, and
you hear the conversation before you can actually see what's going on. The doors
open, so as you're creeping up the stairs, it's kind of you're hearing
the beginning of it and the scene will reveal itself as I let you know.
But you hear the voice say, what a thorn in my side?
You are Christopher, You do have a fantastic quality of being able to pass
through the veil. One of my favorite things about this life is disproving silly
notions regular folks have cooked up in their little minds and written in their little
books. One of the best bubbles to burst is Paradox and rob. As
you get to the top of the stairs, you look in and see Jimmy
tied to a chair, and you see a robed figure standing over him and
walking back and forth. And this hood that's up that's more unibomber and less
like branch Davidian. It's not like a religious kind of hood. It's definitely
has more of an athletic quality to it, but it's deep. And as
he who walks walks back and forth across the room, he goes see you
believe, Chris, that you can't die here, right because you have seen
your older self, and you believe that you are the only Jimmy, Chris,
because you told that to yourself. Right. Well, I'll see that
sounds pretty fucking leaky when you say it out. Wow, So in theory,
I shouldn't be able to shoot you in the fucking head. And you
see him pull out a gun and place it against Jimmy's forehead, But you
can't dive to save yourself, can't you? You just get pulled around like
a rag doll. Well, let's see just how trustworthy paradox is. And
he cocks the hammer of the gun. My friends, in this ambered moment,
which is Michigan number three, Mitch, Jimmy asked you not to stop
him from diving if he were to dive. But in this moment then with
talking heads playing, do you want to try to force Jimmy to dive?
Uh? You know? You know I gave him the walkie? Um,
yeah, I think I think he does. He takes out a walkie and
he clicks it three times and he charges. Except he doesn't charge at he
who walks between the rows. He charges at Jimmy and he's going to tackle
him and tip the chair back, and I will try to force a dive.
Okay, So as you're running and you're gathering kind of steam both spiritually
mentally physically, as the three clicks go off, Jerry, you hear that,
Rob you see Mitch just get up and run into the room. You've
seen the situation as well. You see this hooded figure with a gunned Jimmy's
head, and Mitch is charging in the Mitch, the last Mitch is running
into this room. Mitch, I need you because I believe we said it's
a tinker for your ability to dive. I'm gonna give him one of my
successes. You can give him up to as many dice as you want.
You have a pool of four, I will say, I will say,
hold onto your dice. Mitch is using his pride, okay, okay,
which Mitch's updated pride for season three is only I can fix this. Um.
So he charges in and essentially like WWE spears him in the chest.
Um and uh, I, Greg, I assume I assume that this this
uh, this jean jacketed man would have stripped Jimmy of all of his possessions.
Right, it doesn't look like Jimmy's been like stripped naked or anything like
like anything. Yeah, yeah, it looks like, you know, as
Jimmy was very always kind of bulky because he had a bunch of kind of
layers on. It seems that he's been taken down to just a T shirt
and he's extremely thin, very emaciated. The only thing that Jimmy seems to
have on him. And you're not sure how you can even tell this.
It's right in the pocket of his jeans, which are kind of loose on
him. You see that disk, You see the ball almost looked like a
snuff can in his pocket. Okay, and that's the one thing you can
kind of pick up one as far as items that he might have. Yeah,
he runs in, spears him in the chest, and I'm going to
force a dive, and if I can greg the walkie that he just clicked
three times, he like basically plants it on Jimmy's chest like as the as
the chair falls and the dive sort of starts. Okay, here's how everything
happens. Everybody take off talking heads. I don't want that right now,
but I do want because this is a Mitch moment. Let's go back to
a little bit of wasted years from Iron Maiden. Rob You see and hear
this, butts you hear this. Just as Mitch runs in and spears Jimmy
from the chair and the chair begins to move, a gunshot goes off.
This is right beside the heads of Jimmy and Mitch. Mitch, you aren't
going to take a condition for this because you spent your pride, but narratively
and for ourp purposes, your fucking deaf. As this thing goes off in
this close space right by your head, you hear an exclamation come out of
this hooded figure. It is it's obscenity laced. It is surprised, and
there is a hint of fear. Rob. Jerry is right behind you,
charging in presumably you are closer. Still, I need to know what Rob
does, and then once Rob acts, Jerry would see that, and I
need to know what Jerry does before we go back and resolve this. Rob
is going to sweep the leg per se m. He's as he's coming in
at this dude after the gunshot, he's pretty much gonna dive at his knees
because he's you know, he's this small guy. That's the best way you
can really take out somebody telling you right yep. So yeah, I mean,
if I lend anything from Roadhouse that was always taking Rob's pretty much making
a diving tackle for the dudes, like knee leg lower portion romy force on
success, you absolutely take him right in the knees and a textbook tackle that
would make any Edgar Allan Poe Raven proud. And as you do so,
and he begins to move again. The gun goes off and you realize that
it was tracking Mitch and Jimmy even after the first shot went awry. And
this one goes up and shoots at the ceiling again, this loud echo in
this small space. Jerry, you take the top of the stairs as you
see Rob take this gunman in the legs. What do you do? Jerry?
Quickly assessing the situation, Jerry realizes the gun is going to be a
problem, so he'll charge this fallen gunman to try to disable or disarm him
if possible. You're charging towards him. I'd like you to roll me and
investigate as you do, so please, somehow I got to successes and two
is what you need. As you run in, you bear witness to you.
You are our narrator, Jerry, as we are looking through Jerry Baker's
eyes, and in this moment you see as this walkie is pressed into the
chest. You have a moment, Mitch, what do you do? As
you're tumbling backwards at first shot goes off. Both of you rendered, you
know, kind of dazed by the proximity of the blast. And as you
fall down, another shot goes off above you. As Rob comes in and
takes the gunman's legs. He plants, he plants that walkie on him and
like with whatever force he has left, like I assume his feet hit the
ground after the chair does, and he just kind of shoves the chair off,
hoping that like the dive continues without him being attached to this thing.
And for two episodes later, the reveal Greg on the back of the walkie
is duct tape that says Alpha, try on love it. And so as
Jimmy's eyes go wide and he sees you as you push him, it's almost
like you're watching like T one thousand esque. You shove him through the floor
as he disappears in a splash of the dive and takes the walkie with him.
But we go back to Jerry and as the attack on the legs takes
place, the errant shot goes over. You see the hood slip off the
top of the head of he who walks and Mitch looks back at you and
you see this older casey Mitch Mitchell take the gun and he leans backwards and
splashes into the floor and only you saw it. Jared and Kit and this
little console in the center says, I have police reports from across the area.
I'm trying to triangulate using local closed caption televisions. I haven't been able
to locate any of your friend. We try to check in areas the back
exchange. Where should we go? That's um, we need to save Ben
and I have one person that I know for sure is in one spot.
So we're gonna go see Ben. Who doctor Thrice Mitch's wife? What hold
on? Doctor Thrice is Mitch's wife from the future. It's all a matter
of perceive, Okay, So then, UMU are they good or bad?
In my experience they have been decent? Okay? Can I just be really
blunt with you? Are you good or bad? I have often been called
adequate, but most referred to me as a tool, presumably the good kind
and not the kind that means you're a dick? All right, So like
more like, are you here to save the world or destroy it? I
am here to help Okay, Okay, that's that's fine. Um yeah,
we're gonna go. We're gonna go find Thrice and save Ben and then find
everybody else. Hopefully those are the people that you were looking for that you
were talking about as friends, right, Ben, Rob Mitch. Wait,
Mitch, that's so weird that he has a wife. Okay, it is
because most marriages end in divorce, now right. I was thinking more like,
he's so immature that I can't imagine a woman ever wanting to be around
him long enough to be his wife. But that's fine between you and me.
I have shared the same observations. Great, okay, Okay, Well,
what can you tell me more? As we're driving? Can you tell
me more about Niche from the future and his wife? Like threaten, Like
what's up with Thrice and him? Or what are they doing here? I
never knew that, Mitch. Okay. In fact, I have only ever
met one Okay, which one have you met? The one that is bad?
There's a there's a bad Hitch. Okay. Why is he bad?
What did he do? His motivations are unclear at this time. Either they
have been shrouded by his paranoia or they have not been revealed to me so
he can die or no not to my knowledge. You just pass outside of
h as kid has woven through expertly through the streets of Garrett. You're just
now coming out of the north end of Garrett. Okay, I am I
was sanked. This Garrett does not have a veil. A veil, A
veil, a preventative field that keeps people from diving in and out of it.
Oh, okay, and other garrets do. Only one garret does yours.
Oh makes it very difficult to go or even leave, right. Okay?
Have you met any of the others? I have met a few.
They are no longer with us as it dead. Yes. Have you met
a me before I met the bad you, the one that put me in
that warehouse. Yeah, there's a lot of maybe like that going around apparently.
Sorry, the first you are the first good you I've met. It's
an awful lot of bad use. Yeah, I've seen you die three times
and betray your friends ten times. Cool, let's just keep that between us,
duly noted. Okay, So do you know anything about this alta place
that the kids prison, correct correctional, I don't know, whatever you want
to call it. It is filled with the automatons, the errands, and
the Amy's shooting. Okay. Also, anybody that they feel is a threat
is placed there. Ben is certainly in their secure section. So if you
were to infiltrate said prison, what would be the best chance of success.
How many operatives do I have in play? What current way there's the movie
to you? Well, there could be more, depending on whether that's necessary.
I mean backup would be good. Clearly, I estimate a two percent
chance of success with only one operative. Okay, that's bad. I should
maybe rethink this whole thing. As you all were talking, and you pass
through the northern end of garrett Or camera spins a bit, and everybody,
if you could go queue up track number five, the End of Innocence by
Don Henley. There's a pinpoint of light that expands into a black and white
world. And in the corner of this black and white world, a battery
goes from zero to one to two to three. George, you are back
online. You have a mouthful of grass. It's not anything near as civilized
as when your mom did it, but somehow, some way, it's given
you enough of a burst. What do you do, my friend? I
take a slice for the road. Sure, I go back out front.
Well, actually, no, before I leave, I go upstairs and see
if my jean jacket it's still there. Grab it, sure is, Grab
a handkerchief and head to the pingmobile and I peel out destination towards Pings.
He's going to retrace his steps. Maybe if the paperback exchanges on the way,
he'll make that. But he's hoping that Shannon made her way back to
where she was supposed to go. Sure thing, um, and let's go
back to Sergeant's house. In the moments of the aftermath, Jerry, you're
still standing there. The figure splashed to the point where rob your arms kind
of close around the air. Where once there were a pair of legs and
knees, and where there were five people in this room, they are now
three. What do you do? The mission accomplished? Yeah, I got
I got him out of here. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Did you
did you see me tackle him? I didn't. I was I was tappling.
I learned that from from from from lt hmm. Yeah. It was
really good form. Guns right, guns? Then Ben, we gotta we
gotta go. Jerry, you'll be an extra Jerry. No, I'm not,
no, no, no, no, he's he's right. You're pretty
pretty Jerry. Right now, it's a whole thing I'm worried about. Ben.
We have to go. All okay, all right, man, okay,
okay, all right. Um Mitchell will kind of like look around and
if he can find the uh, the the Mitchie talkie that's marked um,
oh god, uh, Jerry, I forget your name. Um, the
one that's marked with Jerry's name on it, which I can't think of at
this moment. Iron hide. He's going to grab that. Yeah, you
see one lying around on the ground, You pick it up. Yeah,
he tosses it to Jerry. I got I gave him one of his own.
Um, hopefully it works. Okay, are we to the prison in
Jerry? Jerry will like try to compose himself. Um, but he's kind
of focusing on the mission at hand, hanging out with Ben after he was
semi adopted with with by Serge. Where did Serge keep his guns? I'm
assuming he had good, good habits about it, But would Jerry know how
to get to them if you need to. Sarge is a war veteran and
this is the eighties. He did not have good habits about them. Um.
Oh, there is a shotgun literally over the mantel um. You know
that there are shelves for said shotgun in the end table like three feet from
the mantel um. Now additional weaponry. You know that you've all seen that
Sarge had some type of grease gun. You've never seen that, though you
know that he has the shotgun. You know that he has a hunting rifle
that he keeps in the closet. M you don't know about any pistols or
anything like that, though, Well, I think I think if this surge
also has the same setup, Jerry will go for said shotgun, a box
of shells and shove them that rob We've got to go right now, Okay,
yeah, I'll drive. What's the plan fin find? Did you find
the others or go go to give in radio the others. We've gotta we
gotta get a hold of We've gotta go. We gotta get it to this
place because that guy's left already. Okay, okay, okay, okay,
okay, Lock and load, and he pulls out his Mitchie talkie and he
just says, um real jack to autobots, we're storm of the castle,
and then puts it back down and starts running out with the keys to get
in the front side of this camaro. This would be picked up not only
by George on his own h Mitchie talkie, but also by Kit inside,
who has tuned into the frequency of the Mitchie talkie and now that he is
an ally and an iconic item, they'll give you plus two to any role
that you might need. Meta um kit is able to forward the information.
It appears that your Mitch is still alive. Oh that's great. Holy crap,
so much has happened. Can we talk back through through the can I
radio here? Absolutely? Just tell me when you wish to do so?
Oh like like now the channel is open. U. Hi, it's Shannon.
I mean it's grim lock with um What do I call you? The
kid with kit? We are headed to said castle h Out, and she
like stops talking and you all would hear longest she's ever talked on the walkie.
I feel like there's like comedically long, like yeah, there's a long
pause and you all would hear a voice that you do not know say,
oh, I believe you're done, and then it cuts. Yeah. I
think it's like an exchange of looks in the car, like is that a
prank? What's happening right now? Is this is this real life? U?
Okay, we'll meet you. There is that Shannon and her butler?
Yeah, she know a British count. She said his name is Kid.
It's weird. I think Butts would also chime in saying fully recharged headed to
the castle. The hell the hell does that mean to be fair too?
But you've topped out at about seven percent. I am somewhat recharged. I
might be at the castle, might have to jump. Butts, please,
somebody make out a quote just drag for two seasons. My fucking pride was
one day my robot will take over the world. If you've somehow managed to
make my robot Butts, I approve, I hope not. I love all
of these sentences, so can't say, Um, we're gonna say, for
the sake of you all getting together, that you all meet at that little
turnaround that you were at with Gary Rip just earlier in that day. It
is now a little after six what would be just ironically visiting hours here at
the Alta Boys and Girls Club. I will let you know free of charge,
because I believe believe we had an I do believe we had an extra
investigate somewhere floating around with somebody. There was a string of Errands and Amy's
dressed in the Alta attire of scrubs and guard uniforms, heading from Alta South
towards Garrett, and as soon as the Camaro drove by, they turned around
and started to walk after the Camaro. But they are at least a mile
away from the institution right now. So my friends, you have a window.
What would you like to do And we'll say that Thrice is on site
as his kid. Blannon would update Thryce. So I'm assuming she gets there
first, considering she was on our way first on all the all the ship
that happened that she knows of, um and let's you know, she knows
that they're on their way, but kind of reiterates that everybody's coming back up
here. Actually, George gets there first on the fucking Pingmobile. He's the
closest person also one seven percent, So who knows first off, pingmobile could
have a two day head start. Kid is still going to beat it.
Um. Yeah, I think I think Mitch does what he does every time.
He just starts going rapid fire rundown of everything that happened. Um uh,
guys, the robots he killed to kill Gary, they tried to kill
rob and then we just went to Star's house and Jimmy, I don't I
pushed him. I pushed him into a different dimension. And then there's a
guy's well, he had a gun. He shot, he shot us,
and then we have guns. We got him. We got guns. I
gave, I gave I gave Jimmy Milwaukee talkie. His code name is Alva
Tryan. Where's the guy? And did you kill him? I didn't see
him. I I dove and then he was gone. Okay, who was
he? I don't know. Some guy was just killing Jimmy. Rob tackled
him. He was cool. He said, what was that? Jerry?
What he dove? He dove? He's gone. So somebody that knows how
to dive tried to kill Jimmy. How do he die? And we don't
know who it is? He had a good yeah, his face was his
face was covered. We had no no, no, no one could see
who it was. Okay, well, we know of like three people that
can dive. Our parents and Hugh Mitch, who's that? Thrice would doctor
Thrice would chime in at this moment and say, you don't have enough time
for this. You need to get Ben out of there as soon as you
can. They do things to the kids that are in there. You're right,
we'll figure that out later. Okay, we're we're gonna this is Thrice
A long story. Ally, Kit, Ally, we're gonna go in and
get back. I have an idea on how we can get him out because
of the recon that Bucks and I did earlier. If we can get to
the delivery truck area, we can hit your ride out via food delivery truck.
Maybe we passed a gig gang gang robots they're on their way. Okay.
I have zero capability to kill robots or stop robots, so we can
let let the robots attack and in the chaos we just walk in. We
don't need to we don't need chaos. Walk in. We's visiting hours,
right, It's like, yeah, six o'clock, we can walk in.
It's getting him out. Oh oh yeah, that's through the gate. I
can get you through the gate. So doctor Thrice would say, they know
I mean from me, Yeah, let's let's go in. We're gonna find
Ben get him out. That that's kid. But that's what I said on
the on the radio. Did you not hear me? Yeah? But would
you say nerd things? It doesn't make any sense to me, So I
just think you're just saying words. That's Kit though, like KIT, like
K I T T Kit Hasselhoff, Kit, I know no Hasselhoff, but
it is pleasure to meet you. Mitch. Great, thanks Kit? Can
you did you? Can you jam the robot signals? What would you like
me to jam them with? I don't know rad eighties tunes? I don't
know, just them not kill us? Can you like jam their frequencies or
something? I can I believe that they are keyed to Rob. I can
make them think that Rob is somewhere else. Yeah, that would be great.
Can you make them think that Rob is I don't know what's force far
we Jerry's Burg down house. I can make them well, I can make
them think that I have Rob, and I can maybe act like a pied
piper. I feel like I was about to ask if the car could die,
but then I'm sorry, kid, we just saw a guy gets speared
with a parking meter. It was a weird rough time. Um. I
appreciate the concern. Okay, um yeah yeah yeah, like get away kids
kind of fast. Yeah, but if we can leave the channel open with
the Mitchie talkies, Okay, that's true. Yeah, maybe just kind of
take him around town, you know, on a on a long yeah,
like if you but if you go if you go to the Altar Boys Club
boys the Boys and Girls Club, and you they and then get the single
close enough so they know to follow you that you were near there, but
they can't see you. I am fully versed in radio signals and triangulation.
Great, okay, that was kid's way of saying, don't tell me my
job. I imagine this is right around when Butts pulls up, I assume
he hasn't been here the whole time, right, the pengmobile is like red
hot, and he's on six now, yeah, and I dump it,
and you guys just see grass in between my teeth, A little bit of
mud on the on the face and on the on the on the tarp's new
look, new diet. You didn't grass? I knew it. Everybody does
it? Shut up? Oh boy, look man, I was dying,
so you feeling less dying. Now we almost got shot. I almost got
killed by Dutch, So let's just stop. It's a lot of guys.
The robot speared Gary with a parking meter. Next is Ben. If we
don't get in there, so let's get in there. I think we're all
in agreement that this reality sucks. Let's get out of this so far.
Yeah, No, I get in the Camaro, Mitch getting batteries. Are
you gonna eat it? I need to pick me up, dude, I
need to pick me up. Uh. Yeah. I went to radio shack,
hold on any rummages in the back and hands him like, uh,
the ten pack of nine volts starts, che, I take a nine volt
and I do the thing that you do with your tongues. You can taste
the ozone. It does not change your read out. It still says seven.
Oh, that's a suppository. I was gonna save you. I was,
I was. I all just explained that. No. I was trying
to be as nice as I could be, Like, you know what,
the batteries aren't going to work, because I knew that inevitably there would be
a battery in ash. I tried to head it off of the pass,
but I failed. Chat, I follow its the nine volts of the flat.
Yeah, you're gonna dangle that in front of me. I'm away,
wait mitche yeah oral orally or anally? How do I how does the robot
take these? I don't I don't know. I got to have time for
this, and I just I just try to swallow it. You're really living
up to your name right now. Regardless of what you try, George,
it does not increase your battery capacity. I think I just like choke on
it and let's spit it up and there's another two percent or something like that.
Get some more crass, get in the camaro. Okay, okay,
we have guns. We have a shotgun and I don't know what else he
grabbed. Um, but it's all what that's all? Oh, you just
got the shotgun. Okay, great? Um, you're big and intimate.
You're not going to make it inside of a prison with guns. What's wrong
with you? It's a prison full of robots. It's been a long night.
Okay? Can we get shot at twice? How what is the best
way for us to just get in with you getting us past the gate at
this point, with the number of errands and amies that I saw in the
street there, there's probably few people left inside, but there would be enough
to do harm to your friend. They were working on him when I left
and preparing to. We need to get in there as soon as we can,
as soon as we get through the gate. I would recommend finding him
and diving away. Mitch, And when she says that to you. She
just kind of looks at you for a moment. Roman empathize, Mitch,
I think that's my dumb stats. It sure is zero successes. Kind of
a creepy stare. He's this lady, I listen. My plan was to
just storm the gate like we're gonna drive right through. There's only one guard.
Kid starts moving away and kind of putting all the plans in place.
You see him or hear him, just say, um, I have the
channel loben, I will move them away, and time for some rad eighties
hits. Everybody, go to your playlist, go down to track number two.
Queue up a little bat dance for me. Please buy Prince uh Mitch.
Mitch turns over and like like looks at looks at Rob. He's like,
dude, I know this wasn't the time for this, but like we
just make kid uncle. Was that pretty pretty awesome? But you keep giving
everything else that's happened not very surprising. Who's kid? He's a robot car.
David Hasselhoff drives. It's okay, I just red red red light thing.
It's okay, just no know how cool it is. Because David Hasselhop
drives, it might well, we don't have to storm the gate. She
said that she can get us in the gate. Yeah, why are we
going around back to the place that we scouted out earlier because there's no gate
entry there. We have to go through the front to get to the back.
Like we got kid, can't we just he's no kid is leading?
Oh? I thought we got it. Oh, we're getting the camera bad.
We got Gary's camera? Like, what's all the point of the engine
If we can't crash through we need it, that's where car functioning to get
out. No, we don't just dive. What if we can't dive?
I would like to imagine that, you know, Mitch and Buttsler. If
we can't dive, Hello, we don't have a choice. Where else we
gotta go If we don't can't dive in this robot. It's my point.
So we can't destroy our only port of transportation for four four fource dove,
Jimmy, I will give you as much Thrice says. I will give you
as much time as I can. If for some reason you can't dive,
retreat, retrace your steps. I'll get you out to the back door.
Otherwise, this is the end for us for now. Thanks lady. She
turns to Shannon. It's a pleasure to meet you. You as well,
thank you for the wealth of knowledge. Truly, is that your mom?
You don't want to know? Okay, am I storming the gate or not?
Because I'm driving Camaro straight through? Thanks to you, Olive favorite storm
of the gate? Really, he looks with the guys. Well, she
can just get It's best not to arouse suspicion until we have to. I
think we have to storm out of the gate. If we're not diving inside,
this world does suck. Fine, So we'll storm another gate. Buddy,
I'm assuming using both the motorcycle and the Camaro. Sense again, not
everybody's going to fit inside. Um, we don't have the motorcycle. We
have the p mobile. No, no, Thrice took the motorcycle up here.
Oh I thought it was broken and somehouse or vive. Okay, it's
just it's just glass. It's a Hartley for Gracey, you can no glass
that's gonna take um. Yeah, but Bush was riding. It's so like.
Um. She leads you down, and the same charismatic fellow is sitting
there in the booth um a little agitated that there seems to be a aunt
hill that's leaving or head left recently. But he opens the gate when he
sees thrice and doesn't seem to pay any other mind other than to kind of
shrug at her, like what the hell is going on? And she shrugs
back, and she just yells that's why we're here, and he just nods
and opens the gate and lets the bike and the Camaro drive in. Okay,
fine, it was easier, but it was way less cool. You're
at the back door, so where would then be? Do you know he's
going to be on the second floor. It's close. It's just up the
main As soon as you go inside the doors, there'll be a grand staircase
that leads up to the second floor. I don't know what kind of resistance
are going to face, if any. He'll be on the second floor.
I'm not allowed there, but at this point, what does it matter.
I'll make sure that this bottom door stays open and that any guards that are
left that come to try to get you will remain m busy. And she
produces a pistol from the small rubber back. It is not the same gun
that was damaged in the sut I was about to ask from your target.
Wouldn't recommend using it? Just kidding. I don't know that. My friends,
you can all get inside the Altar Boys and Girls Club. If that
is your wish, give me the sign and I will let you know what
happens next. I want to go in just one way to find out if
it's the right move right. It's it's it's just like like sneaking into any
other place, act like you belong. No one's going to question that's fair.
Okay, opens yep. Thrice opens the backdoor, and you see immediately
that this place is in severe disarray. You can't imagine this is the way
that the state that it's usually end. There are kind of gurneys and carts
that are thrown to their sides. You see that paper products and paper strewn
everywhere, as if this place has been ransacked. Thrice immediately pulls up her
gun and she goes to the bottom of as she explained, this kind of
grand double staircase that leads to the second floor. She kind of posts up
at the bottom and gestures with her chin towards the main hall of the first
floor, and she says, the guard post is down there. If they
hear you. When they come, I'll wait here and make sure they don't
get to you. But if you can't dive, come back down and we
will leave the way that we came. Do you understand? Yeah? Got
it, and good luck to you. I hope we meet again. Who's
leading the way upstairs? Thanks lady. It doesn't matter to me really,
Jerry Jerry is Yeah? Is Jerry E a truck gun? No? He
gave it to Rob whether Rob oh? I thought I just had the shells?
Oh Rob, you are packing at this point, since nobody checked the
bag, so to speak. I just want to I want a scene with
with Rob who like takes it bye bye by like the four grip and like
tries to do the movie thing but it doesn't go because it's actually like it's
actually much harder to do. It just pitches the hell out of like all
three fingers that are underneath the grip, creating like the world's worst blood but
clister. I thought from experience, Um, okay, roll me and investigate
everybody, but I'd like one from Jerry in particular. Yeah, I got
a success. Okay, are we all supposed to or just Jerry? Okay,
yep, But Jerry, let me see you get to the top of
the landing and everybody, I would like you to play um yep, go
down to track number fourteen. Everybody, please queue up a little led Zeppelin
for me Immigrant song. Jerry, you get to the top of the stairway
and you are the first one to hear the ragged voice of Ben Mackenzie screaming.
It is mostly in pain, but it's echo through these vacant halls.
Again. It looks like a zombie apocalypse up here. Things are twisted and
thrown everywhere. Beds that are on wheels are tipped on their sides, and
there's a hallway with the There has to be a flickering light, so there
will be. There's a flickering light in this hallway. And you hear these
screams of pain that you know are Ben, and they are just screams,
but every so often there's a Jerry, what do you do, my friend?
When you hear this? Jerry doesn't hesitate. He begins to run towards
the source of the sound. He doesn't look back. You all see as
Jerry begins his charge, and like a child that gets into his socks and
scoots along a carpeted floor. You see lightning begin to lance out of Jerry
as he's running down the hallway, almost like a sign experiment, a bab
in the middle of a mad wizard's globe. You see lightning lancing and licking
along the walls and the ceilings, catching these bits of paper on fire as
they touch. As Jerry charges through the altar Boys and Girls Club, do
you follow and if so, how closely? Mitch is on his six maybe
like a little bit back because we don't want to get zapped, but you
know, I would agree, maybe we'll help someone of us now I think
shotgun will travel. Mitch has been zapped by enough robots and electronics, and
shit, he's not He doesn't care about Jerry. He's going full bore.
Sure, So you guys get close enough and um, there's definitely you know,
you get a couple of zangers. This is you know, much like
the battery to the top a couple of times and these arcs get a little
bit too close and you feel like that, you know, as you're running.
But Jerry's energy doesn't seem to It works around the other of the four
of you. But Jerry, you're focused in and you can hear these cries
coming, and you get in front of a door where you hear Ben screaming
from the inside, his voice ragged. It's it's not a scream anymore,
it's just a projection, and not a very loud one at that. What
do you do when you get there? Try the door. It's open.
Yeah, Jerry won't hesitate. They will enter this room ready to face whatever
threat is behind it, to save his little buddy. When you explode into
the room, you see and the only way to explain this is if anyone's
ever seen a clock work orange with the kind of clamps that have the eyes
forced to stay open. You see that eyes forced to stay open, and
there are at least two dozen needles sticking out of Ben's shaved head. You
see that there are wires coming from each of these needles to various components wall
mounted computers throughout the room. And when you burst in, you see Ben
his eyes forced open. The pupils turn and look at you, and the
cry that he was in stops and you hear him say, now you come.
The rest of you get there and your ears pop. What do you
do, my friends, Raban the mitch, actually, yeah, I was
gonna say, I think it's time to have a team huddle. Uh,
Greg, this is a like a government facility, right, sure is seems
like it. Are there those like horridum like buzzing halligent bulbs behind that very
aggressive acrylic like overhead lights? Absolutely? Yeah, um, I think like
stumbling in behind Jerry, lightning kind of going everywhere. He just like punches
Rob in the arm and points to the ceiling to the lights. Since Rob
has the shotgun, Uh, Rob's gonna look up and go click click boom,
And it's the force of the shotgun is something that he wasn't ready for,
so it's gonna he's gonna blast it. And since he's not bracing himself,
it's just gonna fall straight down out of the sands. It clatters,
but you're able to cool it enough to make it not go, you know,
all over the place as the above you the light shatters with the force
of this you know, buckshot. So nobody saw me drop it then on
the lights women, well, I mean it's or not They mentioned it that
you didn't. It was too cool. We were all too focused on the
coolness of the explosion and the arcs of electricity. Um and then in in
the like the lights going out, the shattering bulbs, the acrylic writing down,
Mitch like ducks under Jerry's arm and is running towards Ben and he has
like one hand outstretched back towards everyone and one hand outstretched towards Ben. Ben
reaches for you, and it's Jerry. You're the one that noticed, especially
when the glass goes off at the top, because you rolled your earlier success
with the investigate there is a whole wall that doesn't have computers on it,
and you see that it is a mirror. But just with your first gaze
you realize that's not a mirror. That's absolutely two ways you can see that
kind of when the lights go out, you can see that almost that after
projection where it looks like it's got depth to it for a second before I
mean, Jerry wants to help Ben, but this is so beyond his knowledge.
But that mirror, it becomes a focus for his anger. And is
there something at hand that Jerry could pick up and throw at it? Sure
you have the ability to wield lightning. I think beyond that, beyond my
smart ass answer, there are there are plenty of like bits of computer like
that you can just rip off and throw. I mean, this is the
eighties. I mean, you know, everything's massive, so you can grab
like a disk drive about the size of a shoe box and throw it.
I think he's more of all that line. I think. Okay, um,
Mitch grabs hold of everybody, and as you are all kind of huddled
together, and Ben reaches up and grabs hold of Mitch, lacing his fingers
through his Ben still seems to be wearing the clothes that he had on.
It just seems that from the neck up, with the shaved head and the
he looks like hell razor, you know, pinhead. And as you grab
hold of him, the lightning kind of lances through those pins just a bit,
not to do any damage to Ben, but to kind of create kind
of like this this ghoulish glow a halo for a moment. And as you
throw the tape are the disk drive, you see it hit the glass as
you all disappear into the dive match, I need you to roll me a
tinker as you go in the space between Okay, uh frags, you want
to you want to literally dispute distribute some of those uh those days, oh
yeah, oh yeah, yeah, yeah, absolutely take off of them.
Alrighty let me see here, uh and I can use my icond of guidem
Greg is that is that you sure can do it? Ye? Okay,
So there's one success there and then I'm gonna give you all of go for
all of the D six is from from mister Fraggs. Nope, that's not
how you do that. You can use the little thing at the side to
sure can buddy, you know, is what you can do. Another success,
so to success success. Okay. So with your two successes, as
you're going in the space between and again, you kind of had that star
field at one section of the star field that's been drawing your attention for a
moment. You see it, see your Garrett, you see Tyltran two.
You see and feel the pull towards your origin. And as you move in
that area and you almost get there, you feel a repulsed by it as
some type of field hits you and bounces you away. Everybody, if you
would please go and queue up track number thirteen Behind the Sun by the Red
Hot Chili Peppers Shannon and Jerry Shannon. You are inverted drinking beer directly from
the line of a tapped keg. Jerry, You squint as smoke from the
cigarette in your lips blows into your eyes. Around you, a party of
no fewer than one hundred and fifty people rages. You are outside at night,
the magnificent stars of western Maryland in full bloom. It is warm,
but not unpleasantly so. The large firebreak structure known as the moon Tower looms
in the center of the mountain field. Dutch and Knee walk up, predatory
smiles on their faces, and Knee wraps an arm around Jerry's neck. Whoa
time to let off a little steam? What do you think? Brother Dutch
rocks into a handstand, walks over until he is nose to nose with the
inverted Shannon, and moves in for a kiss. George. Sam clutches your
hand and her hands shake a bit. Do you really think this will be
fun? If Veronica finds out I took her volksway, I'm dead before you,
George. A party rages in a mountain field. The great iron structure
known as the moon Tower dominates the scene. Everywhere, teens are drinking and
partying. Sam continues, we could still catch a movie. Batman is supposed
to be really good, even though the mister mom guys playing batman, Rob,
Mitch, and Ben. You are standing in Rosehill Cemetery. Each of
you are staring down at headstones. Mitch, yours bears your name and the
dates May fourth, nineteen seventy four to May fourth, nineteen eighty six.
Ben stares down at his fifteen seventy four four fifteen eighty six. Rob,
you look at yours, no birthdate, no death date. It simply says
your name and beloved son. Okay, everybody, if you would turn off
behind the sun Michigan number four back in the boys club. As everybody splashes
into the ground, the disk drive hits the two way mirror and it cracks
and shatters, and on the other side of the glass, Ben mackenzie says,
no, don't leave me, don't go, don't leave me. George
Butts lifts a walkie talkie up to his lips. Yeah, they took the
bait giggles dove with them. May God have mercy on their soul. On
the back of his walkie talkie and masking tape, it says Bizarro. Back
at the Rosehill Cemetery with Rob and Mitch behind him, Ben Mackenzie looks down
at his headstone and giggles, will this be a hoot? And that,
my friends, is where we will end this session of Atari Twilight. Please
stay tuned next time for Atari Twilight rollout Episode six, Clear and Present Danger.
Anyone else noticed how long this silence is? You know? I feel
like I say it every week? So does someone else want to say our
weekly send off to Greg? What the fuck? Greg? What the fuck?
Greg? What the fuck? Greg? Hey? Fuck you? Greg?
