Hello, This is Pumpkin Perrier, director producer GM and perhaps a replica.
If you enjoyed the podcast, please make sure to rate and review it and
head over to table story dot tv for our extensive library. Thank you for
your support and enjoy. I got a drink in one hand, a cigarette
in the other. I've lost count how many this is now, but I'm
pretty trashed. I knock back another one with some kind of Scotch shitty dusty.
It's been sitting in the cabinet for years, and I decided to break
into it tonight. I'm not thinking clearly. I pour myself another drink,
and I look out of the windows, and I can see all the buildings
drenched in these reflections, so much light and so much color, so much
that they're selling to us day after day after day after day. And I
realized how much less color is in my world, even when it's right in
my face. I pour myself another drink. I hope you don't mind,
but I uh ail myself. I fumble for my gun. What the hell
are you doing in my apartment. I'm wobbling you, son of a bitch.
I could have shot you, thought I join you for a drink.
I put the gun on the table. That is terrible. I pour myself
another. That's all I got, and last time I looked it was about
three quarters full. You got about a quarter left, and I only poured
myself one glass. I look at the bottle. I want to go through
the rest of it with me. Might as well? Sure? Yeah,
as I'm pouring, how'd you get in? Does that matter? Yeah?
Why I would? I ask you a question that I don't think matters in
this moment, Skiff, Well, if it matters that much, I know
where you keep your spare. You might not remember telling me one of the
very very few times that bad pour you home. M you showed me where
it was, no doubt you remember you were five sheets to wind the past
three about two hours before that. But I uh, put you down a
couch, put the key back in the place. Let's just sleep it off.
Remember why we were drinking that night? Na, I mean, I
can barely remember that night. I'm really thinking about it. Remember is not
what it used to be. But in letting me it was the night I
uh, yes, I popped my cherry and I uh as a blade owner.
Then I thought my first door excuse me retired my first replicant, and
since I've always been a seasoned drinker and you not so much. The same
amount puts you under the table. But I was still feeling all right.
Yeah, I remember. I don't remember all the conversations that we had that
night, but I remember the feeling. It was about about duty, about
doing your job and the greater good and all that. Huh, greater good?
Right? What what does good look like to you? Skiff? At
this stage? It's funny you asked that, because sometimes I have trouble without
myself, but I M I talk it over with a U. It was
someone that I trust, and he always seems to know the right thing to
say, the right thing to do, or at least he knows how to
get me there. But yeah, sometimes it's hard to tell. M.
I hear you. So I came over here for pretty much one reason to
ask you one question, just one for now. Did you know did you
know what's where I was going to do? Did you know what your new
partner had planned for Natalie Narrator? I forget in this moment. Do I
know about Natalie? I don't think so, But that's up to Sawyer.
If Sawyer told you where he was going or what he was doing ahead of
time. I don't think that would have been information that was shared with me.
I don't think so either. And I believe because this takes place basically
immediately after you have, you know, shot Bill, And I can't imagine
that you went right into the office the very next day. It's not immediately
after you shooting Bill, because that night they broke into into Tyrrell. But
they have left since left that And now this is probably the wee early morning,
like four or five in the morning. You've been drinking all night,
and it is it is essentially the night you shot Bill. Okay, well
I'm listening. I've sat up a little bit straighter because I'm not sure what
I'm hearing from from Skiff. You didn't Okay, what are you you mean?
Wait? Like back up, I really slowly, like open my coat,
take out my ka and it's ready to go, and I throw it
on the table or on the floor or wherever play it. I go to
play it. Kay h shut her right in her apartment. I love that
for me. Send it to send it to me so i'd find it.
That's that's your partner. No, I sound drunk in my time, that
might take the cake. My head is still women. I'll tell you this,
I'm gonna find him now. I'm gonna kill him. Consequences be damned.
He's got it coming. I just had to see if you did too.
You're not a blade runner anymore. I don't think you get to make
those calls, those decisions, not in the eyes of the law. That's
exactly what gives me the right to make those decisions. I'm operating outside the
law. You're operating. You're operating on a sense of what you think.
You're not looking at it from a community standpoint. You don't even community.
Yea Friendoh, you just signed up to be their executioner and I didn't want
a part of it. So if you want to do your job right now,
I won't stop you. I just asked that you let me finish my
drink first. I said, will you finish this whole thing? And that's
what we're gonna do and top you off, cheers, cheers for what it's
worth. I'm grateful that you brought this to me. I've had a hell
of a night, but I'm sure you have to. Yeah, they ended
up catching Bill, and you know, what Skiff. It was in those
moments where I ask myself, is it still good if it doesn't feel good
anymore? Is it still good if you're still feeling like shit at the end
of the day. Is it still right? Is it still what I wanted?
And God damn, I put my drink down. I didn't know.
I didn't know. I didn't know about Natalie. I knew how close y'all
were, and I knew I knew Skiff. I knew you had your doubts,
and it's just hard to watch a friend walk away from something that you
have always honored and thought to be true. I didn't walk away from any
of that. I'm still honoring what I think to be right and good and
true. That just doesn't happen to be with the Lapd anymore. You know,
I always really resented when people said, when do you get to my
age, you'll understand. But I'm at an age where I thought I thought
I knew, you know, I thought I thought I had it figured out,
and I just I think I've I've just shot too many bullets, Skiff.
I shot a lot of bullets, But it does something to you.
You know, there's intent behind that. Every time. I think the time
has come for you to ask, is it enough bullets? I don't want
to shoot people until I die. I just wanted to protect what I thought
was right and what I thought was good. No, why are you here?
Why are you here? You would not take this bigger risk to just
come tell me about Sawyer. I think if you really didn't give a shit,
you wouldn't be here. Why do you still give a shit about me?
Why are you here? Because we're partners and that mean something to me.
I wanted you to know that I'm still the same person. I haven't
lost my mind. I haven't made the choices I've made recently had of spite
or anger or frustration. I made them knowingly and willingly, and to be
honest, I didn't give it a very high chance, but I thought maybe
I can make you see things from my perspective, maybe we could be partners
in it. But I also came here thinking that maybe you should be.
I wouldn't have to make the hard decisions anymore. You know it's about fifty
to fifty. There isn't it probability? Will she shoot me? Won't she?
I know I can give it more sixty forty that you wouldn't. We're
sixty forty, that's fair. Maybe just wing me. Yeah, no one
would buy it, though we'd get a shot. No they No, I'm
not gonna shoot you, skiff. I'm not even sure what I'm gonna do
next. I think there's only so much I can handle, only so much
trust I can put in people, until that starts to just crumble. I
trusts Sawyer, and then I saw this, and I just wonder what I
did or who I am that people feel like they keep having to go behind
my back. And I wonder if I'm the problem because I want to be
direct and honest. I would I have not had an honest moment up until
here. I just I miss your perspectives, gift, and I'm just trying
to see what's genuine and what's good and and I feel like I'm failing.
I feel like I'm failing to see what is what is the next app and
not take another drink. That was the other the other reason I came here
because I owe you an apology should have came to you first. I regret
that it's just Galen happened to be the poor sucker that was there at the
wrong time. It should have been you, and I should have got up
the sack to come and talk to you and tell you how I was feeling.
And by the time I got it, it's too late. You deserve
better. I'm sorry. Our friendship deserve better than that. It's not that
I don't trust you. I do always have. I just waited too long
and then it all blew up. It's no excuse, and at all this.
I set my drink down and I just start to rack, just heaving
sobs, just unable to control myself. And there are tears and it snot
just falling down my face into my lap, and I haven't cried like this
in probably decades, but it is relieving to do so. Right, go
over. I put my arm around her, with the last of the bottle
in my glass. I don't say anything. I grabbed his hand. There's
a lot to do. Huh yeah, m hm, Well, thank you
for sharing the drink with me and for the company, but please don't my
apartment again, or I may have to kill you, just because I almost
god damn dead tonight. I took that into account. You might just wheel
on me and shoot me, not knowing who was there. But also you're
pretty lit up, and even a good shot like you, when they're that
lit they'll probably miss or at least misfital organs. I've been shot before,
so yeah, I was there, and at this I also reck all that
Skiff almost died and I start crying again and I just can't see him.
To get a hold of myself and make me one promise. Okay, yeah,
get some better whiskey. Shit is terrible. This is like pain stripper
for next time, right for next time? Yeah, the next time.
Next time, you get the hell out of my apartment. Okay, okay,
Skiff, Yeah, partner, don't go getting shot. Okay, no
promises, see you round. We're all standing around a table in a dimly
living room tucked away in some building. Somewhere in front of us is a
man and it's the city. I have my arms, my hands on the
table, I'm standing. I'm sort of leaning over and looking at everything.
I look up at our j and I look over at Galen. My face
is set in stone. I've asked Galen so many times over the past few
days if he's sure. I can only get the same answer so many times.
So what I'm thinking is we need to be seen a few times.
It needs to be the narrative that I'm chasing you and I'm thinking and point
over in what would be sector one of the map where those warehouses were r
J. I'm assuming you know this area, you were there for a while.
If you know it, I know it. If you don't even know
it, I might, Well, this is where we found the desk with
your plans, with the blueprints. It's an open area. There are some
cameras there, we know that, but it's also as remote as a place
can be in the city. Allows us to get there and stage. But
I'm not sure about leaving breadcrumbs. If we're gonna make this public, we
need the right people there, but I don't know how that's gonna work,
or if it will work. And then I sort of step back and take
a look at the both of them. Yeah, why is that If I
start chasing Galen and I'm looking at Galen's face, I'm still searching what do
I see in Galen's face as we talk about this blankness. I'm just following
along with the plan. If if we are seen at a couple different areas
moving in that direction, that would maybe be enough to get the lapd at
our back, following us so they can see what happens. All right.
It's the only way I can think of this working, and it's going to
be a long road at that. They might gaze turns to Galen as well
in a similar fashion. I look at his expression, this blank face.
Does he look like a man who's given up? What is going on there?
Exactly? Make an insight role? All right? So I believe this
is technically insight versus manipulation, right if we're gonna do a certainly not the
last contested role of the day. Oh wow, Wow, what the fuck?
Okay? WHOA? Just so all of you are aware, they both
rolled a zero and one rolled a four and a one, and the other
rolled a one and a four perfectly mirrored. Unbelievable. Sorry, I have
to put that here. I also have a's in both of those things.
Yep, insane, I've got these. So I think what you see then
is just kind of a blank response somebody that is being attentive to what is
being said. Okay, Bob, I think you noticed me, Bristol.
When I look at him, I don't move, I don't say anything,
but I'm unsettled and I think you know why. For a mission like this,
everyone needs to be all in, replicant or not. We need Holden
to see it. We need to find a way to get hold and involved.
Yeah, if we make a big enough if we make sure that we
can be seen by the cameras, and if we can, if we can
get Selma and saw you're there, What do you proposed? Then another bomb
threat? No? I want I want to set these breadcrumbs out. I
want us to show up in a couple different places. I want to say
things out loud, yelling towards Galen that other people can report. They're going
to do the detective thing. They're going to look into it, all right.
The end goal here again is to make sure you've come out looking clean,
right Yeah, Yeah, which means in the moment when they're there,
I'll say what we've discussed, You say what we can call in a bomb
threat? Yeah, they might have to file out, that's true. That's
the standard protocol. If it's just me chasing you, and if it looks
like I'm chasing you, they're at least going to be curious. They're going
to follow up on it. I know what it is you're trying to say,
here, Bob, but if Holden doesn't see this with his own eyes,
I don't think he's going to believe it his own eyes. I think
you know exactly what suggesting you want to try blowing up the LAPD, putting
in a call to it, at least pretending like we're going to and you
won't me to what just run up and what I found out about the plot,
and then I had a change of heart and I run in to stop
it. Okay, you just need to get them outside, okay, in
the chase in your HQ. All right, then the first things first is
security, right, Bob's right. We need things happening in more places than
one. Perhaps another bomb thread outside. We'll at the very least scatter the
nest, make it so the LAPD itself is let's protect it. Let's people
holding himself will likely be inside still right, yeah, and at the top,
yeah, well a few floors up, yeah, on the night shift.
So we'll have to stage this in front of the LAPD, in front
of the precinct. It's the best way to do it, all right.
It's ballsy, you know, they could get both of you, Bob and
the crossfire. I have nothing else. If this doesn't work, it doesn't
work. Rephrase that you have nothing else. This is beyond you and what
you want being alive, being dead. You're useful. Don't forget that.
I'm not forgetting anything. I know what I am, I know what I
can do, but I'm not going to cry about it if it fails.
We're just going to do our jobs. We're going to get this done.
Yeah, better get it done. So what you need? All right?
We'll need someone to set up a bomb? Easy, I'll wagant not too
big, not too many casualties. The few were the better, might even
be better if there aren't any. It's something that is a near miss but
puts everybody on edge. Well, it's gotta look real, right, it
does have to look real. Well, luckily, uh, an old lady
left a few cupcakes before she passed. Should be what we need. What
did cupcakes have to do with bombs? What did cupcakes have to do?
Indeed, you'll see. I'm going to ask Nara to put out some information,
whispers, the threat of a threat. We'll see what we can create.
Hopefully this will come to a head the way we wanted to. Any
questions, no, but I do have something I want to say. Okay,
this bomb, I I don't think we should use real explosives. If
we don't use real explosives, and how can we be a real threat.
Once the deed is done and they clean up, then what it has to
be as real as possible. You have to be willing. Should Bob fail
or falter, you gotta do it. You know that, right are the
cause I I don't make me doubt. You don't push him, Archie,
please, you don't know him. I guess I don't. You don't have
to do this, Scalen. The blank look on my face has disappeared.
You can see that I'm quite torn. I doubt you see how I noticed?
This doubt has definitely cross my face and I I look at Bob.
Yes we do. Can I roll an insight to see to what degree I'm
seeing this change on his face? For those listening, Galen just rolled the
two with a one and an eleven. On his second roll, I'm going
to push Oh, okay both wow, okay, make sure to mark that
off on your sheet. Oh my god. Okay his pushed insight, he
was able to push both of those, and now he has a two so
they are equally matched. I think so. Then you would seemed doubt on
my face. Okay, I'll keep that to myself. I'm not going to
bring it up here. But I stepped back from the table. I'll see
what resources Vonya can give us, see what our timetable looks like, and
how quickly we can get this done. For the cause. Yeah, for
the cause, I think. I stepped back, arms crossed, just looking
my eyes dart from off to Galen and back back to Galen. A lot
is writing on this, more than you know. I think I understand quite
well. What is writing on this? Is that right? Yes? And
we'll see we will. R J. Don't fuck over Bob. I wouldn't
dream of it. He's still my partner. I'll leave you to do it.
How are you feeling a little nervous? Yeah? How are you doing?
Just about there? Myself? I think it's probably just the coffee though,
Yeah, I promised myself. I try and swear off the caffeine,
but it is difficult in this line of work. Right, and now look
around, I'm gonna ask you, gonna ask you something, yeah, of
course anything. Can you tell me what happened with Natalie? Yeah. I.
Uh, I assume I'm saying a desk at the moments. I reach
over to a drawer and I take it a couple of stacks of paper and
I separate them out in the desk. I turned them around to you,
and uh, I show you that there was an APB put out for Natalie.
I kill on side order that it was signed by Holden And additionally,
there's an operation request next to it which dictates Sawyer using the elimination of a
replicant sympathizer to try and bait out a member of the underground. You are
had a lot going on last night, and I didn't want to trouble you
with it. You do realize that it is not in any capacity troubling me.
If you're updating me on your whereabouts and the replicants that you might be
retiring, I feel like this is pretty pertinent information. It doesn't matter what
state I was in. You had a duty to report and you didn't.
Okay, I'm sorry. I thought reporting to the Deputy chief was I have
to make some operational decisions in my own capacity, right, I can't just
be I didn't do it to exclude you, so not on purpose. We
interrogated. This were together, I mean, this was something that we had
been figuring out together. I'm just not sure why all of a sudden,
this was something that excluded me specifically. Now I understand that you needed to
retire this replicant, which is fine by me. She wasn't a replicant.
I'm sorry. She wasn't a replicant. She was a sympathizer. The kill
inside order was given, you know that, right, that analyst from Terrell
that we had, the one that hemorrhaged everywhere and died in the cell.
The search team in doctor Reid's room after we were done with him, well,
they turned up some odd materials in the room. And I mean,
I'm just connecting dots. The most likely culprit of these attempted and one successful
assassination was the woman that broke the lockdown breach and escaped from the LAPD And
you and I already knew that she was sympathetic to Skiff and his decisions his
cause. Right, this is our job. I know it's your job.
It's our job. I just wish you would have told me. This just
feels like another instance of squad mates not telling you shit, which at this
point. I feel like I've just signed up for so that's fine you don't
report to me. But I feel like that's pretty heavy information to leave out.
Sawyer. Okay, I'm sorry. I hadn't had the chance to update
you yet. I just feel like that's information that next time I want to
tell your partner, just so we're on the same page. This is the
first time I've seen you since last night. I'm very sorry. In future,
I will call you right away if anything like this ever comes up.
The feet again, this was not me. I wasn't trying to I'm not
trying to disappoint you. That's the last thing I want to do is disappoint
you. Okay, So I'm I will do better. I mean, that's
all I'm asking. Just just check in. I'm still know with this,
so I will check in better. Well, all right, that's what I
wanted to ask you. If it's taken care of, it's taken care of.
Right. You did what you needed to do, and today's big day,
So are you okay? Otherwise I'm I feel like I'm walking on them
pretty thin rope here, but I'm I'm doing okay. Just I understand that
yesterday's a lot, even for even for someone as experienced as you are.
I know that all of that could not have been easy, but our job
isn't meant to be easy. And I know that you're just saying I understand,
right. Do you think because it's not easy, do you think that's
what makes it right? I guess I'm just asking them not only too much
about it, but you know, I just wonder. My father used to
say, there is nothing in life worth having that you don't have to fight
for. And we're fighters, so we're gonna keep on fighting. Yeah,
I mean, I've heard that before. Fight the good fight. It just
which fight is the good one? What do you mean? I don't know.
Forget I said anything. I'm just a little hungover. I'm talking out
of my ass. I'm sorry, I'll be sorry. If we can't take
a moment to question our convictions, we will never know how strong they actually
are. That's true. Well, you ready, ready as I'll ever be,
And I clap him on the shoulder. I uh, we still got
work to do with each other. But you you're impressive, Sawyer. You've
done a lot of hard work to get here. If I'm impressive, it's
because you've taken so many shots on me. I couldn't have done any of
what I've done without you. Thank you. All right, I better go
get sworn in before I vomit everywhere. Well, don't do that, need
water or anything? No, no, okay, I'll be fine. You
want to smoke, I've never smoked in my life. Well don't it back
up last night? You know if you want to bum one back off me.
Okay O, keep that in mind. All right, good luck,
break away, Thank you. So that's the plan. It's not perfect,
but it's public, and how many of you will be there? It would
probably be best there at the end that it's just Galen and I at the
end, But wouldn't it be more convincing to have some in the beginning as
well? Perhaps is mate? I'm very cautiously curious as I look at Nara.
You've got to explain that to me. I want to make sure I'm
following. If it is just you and Galen, I wouldn't be very convinced
it wasn't a trap or a trick. But if you have more people with
you in the beginning, that either you take care of or the LAPD takes
care of, and it's a lot more convincing. And I know you don't
want to hear that you're suggesting that I kill other replicants during this pursuit.
That's correct. Your value inside the LAPD is worth that, and I know
I won't be the only one that sees that you have no identification, They
have no way of knowing. Yeah, okay, all right. If I'm
going to do this to Galen and he's going to do that for this,
then I need some matter. I completely agree. We'll take care of it.
Thank you, I'll walk out how to go mm hmm, thank your
shirt. It's so you saw Selma, Yeah, I did, and well
I don't think she'll ever turn I uh, definitely think there's some doubt being
so, but I did. I'd bet on it. So some mistrust between
her and Sawyer. So that's that's good. How about you? How you
feeling? I don't trust Nara or r J. Yeah. Beyond that,
I don't know what to feel. I still think we're on the right side
of things. I made a suggestion earlier, and I don't know if the
right it was the right one. M h. People might get hurt because
of me. Yeah, but show me a revolution that I had no dead
bodies at all. Well, I got a bridge to say you, is
this a revolution? Skift? What'd you call it? I don't know.
That's what I'd call it. People who weren't well, A group of individuals
being systematically used abuse, and that group of people rises up and says we
won't do that, we won't put up with it anymore. Sounds like a
revolution to me. Where are we just being used for? What do you
think? I don't know, but Tyrell and now this Wallace. It makes
me feel like we're all pawns. We probably are. We just gotta think
that or make decision to be pawns for the right king kind of thing.
I mean, in my life there's been no leader, politician, captain,
anything that has exactly the same ideals as me, or go about things the
same way I would. So unless you want to replace the king, just
find the king you can live with serving I think I have. We know
very little about this Snara, yeah, but it's either Narrah law of course,
stay the funk out of it. And while Narah might not be one
hundred percent above board trustworthy, I think the main goals of this are on
the right side of history. It'll never be perfect. I don't want you
were Bob to die why. I have a lot of memories that don't belong
to me. But you two, you you are real, and I think
you just summed up why I'm on the side I'm on when I've chosen this
path, so hopefully no one else will have to question what you're questioning,
think about what you're thinking about, doubt their entire existence because lies that were
implanted in their heads cruel. But I appreciate what you said. My memories
with you are precious to me as well. I'll tell you this, Galen,
You're a damn sight more human than ninety nine percent of the people I've
ever met. Just take that afterward, it's worth I'll try to trust them,
but beyond the lookout after what's having recently no offense. Of course,
I don't think i'll ever a harndred percent trust anyone again, and that makes
me sad m but it'll probably else. Give me a laugh, I understand.
Watch out for yourself. Tonight's give don't get stabbed in the back,
YouTube, buddy, I'll free my hand, I take it quickly, shake
and walk away. M hm hm, Well oka say it then what I'm
gonna miss playing these games. At first, I well, they made me
sick and I still do, you know, like for different reasons. I
guess I feel it, right, I know you do. M hm hm
exactly fun aside, are you ready? Yeah? What, I'll be honest
that I want to be. It's tough, it's who we are, and
we'll make them pay for it. Yeah. You know Nara has suggested and
is going to place people in my path and I will have to take down.
I wish you now, and I know you'll understand this because you still
hate them too. Yeah. I understand, But at the same time,
doesn't mean I like being used. Doesn't mean I like people like us being
used. You know. I'm toyed with no she knows no, no,
go ahead, now you go ahead. No, I think it's I just
nodded Bob knowingly. This is sick, stupid, It's ridiculous. Hmmm.
I don't like you, r J. I know, I know it.
I'm glad at least you get it, but of course I get it.
And that's why I don't like you either, because be frank a charade of
talking to you and expecting a reply, even though I know full well exactly
what you're going to say. Exhausting, you see, that's even worse.
Don't finish my sentences, all right? You know that. No. I
don't trust her either, never have end of the day. She's using us
the same way they were using us, like ponds pieces or some other goal.
And you know this. Yeah, but there's no other choice, no
deal when I headed him, no good choice, well other than running,
and we don't run. No, for now, this is a good option
for us. Having yours a piece of that machine will help a lot.
Yeah, listen, mm hmm, and I'm sure you understand this. I'm
going to be very disconnected from all of you once I'm back in because I
have to be, which means I need to rely on you to know me
well enough to pick up information when I drop it. There are places I'm
actually wondering. I get fairly close and I lean in. Did you sit
at the memorial wall? I don't blink, it gets close. What chio
it was? Ads? Yeah, having to wait twenty minutes listening to life
Insurance before seeing her tiny name fly by someone who did not even exist.
I wonder how much that costs I was paying into the front for a while.
It's a lot which is all bullshit. Yep. But that's why I'll
leave information. It'll be under her name with a line. I'll trust you
to figure it out, all right. Good, And if I were to
reach out to you, I just smile wide and pull back. You'll know,
yeah, I will. All right, we have work to do.
Yeah. I would like you to raise your right hand and repeat after me.
I solemnly swear that I will well and truly serve our city in any
capacity in which I may be appointed, promoted, or reduced to, without
favor or affection, malice or ill will. I swear are the rhythm of
my beating heart, that I am alive, the blood in my veins stirred.
I moved to act with a breath of my lungs. I pledge allegiance
to the flame of sentience that burns within me. I to unswervingly serve the
laws and edicts of the people, to be the guiding hand that shields them,
to guard them against descent and malcontents. I swear never to betray my
position, my oath, or the sworn officers I serve alongside. I declare
my dreams made manifest that I will embrace the humanity that was denied to me
by design. I devote myself to this cause, It's oath, and to
those who swear it with me, with diligence and celerity, I will hunt
down those who defy the laws of both man and nature, and vow to
honor the memories of those whose lives were stolen with empathy and grace. I
will define my existence with fervor and passion a vow to honor the memory of
those whose lives were stolen. I pledge to wield my authority with restraint,
to weigh the consequence of every action, and to preserve human life wherever I
can. From now until the day that I am released from this oath,
I pledge to temper my strength with mercy, to weigh the consequence of every
action, and to preserve human life wherever I can. From now until the
day I die. My service begins. Now I am for the cause.
Okay, I need some roles. The first I think we're gonna do is
from Team number one, which is the Resistance, and then I'm going to
need a set of roles from the LAPD who wants to roll on behalf of
the resistance, I went rolling. Oh no, I got it. Oh
the fact that you both answered holy ship? Yeah weird? Yea, so
good. Okay, I'll tell you what. How about this? You tell
us what to roll, and whoever rolls first, that's what you go with.
Oh okay, okay, I like that. Yeah, you're gonna be
rolling connections. Did RD beat you to it? Yeah? Of course I
did. Okay, So r J rolled a one, six and a two.
For those listening, now, I need the l A p D to
roll one of who would like to represent the L A p D. Oh
I will, I'll do it, okay, Okay, Selma, I need
you to roll Insight please insight, Okay, insight, here we go.
Hmm just normally right, yep. Okay. However, RJ you can push
this roll, and so can you. Selma. You have tied with a
six and a three versus a six and a two, making both of you
roll a one, which means they cancel each other out. And what I
was asking this for was to see who would gain advantage, if any,
on your roles in this next encounter. So I ask again, do either
of you want to push? Keep in mind you are tanking the resolve if
you push this, so you won't be able to use that resolve in the
next encounter. I see, I don't think I would push RJ. Would
you like to push then I will? Okay, go ahead, that's a
good plan. He pushed as many times as you like. Keep in mind,
your resolve goes down every time you do it. I'm good, Okay.
That means everyone will be rolling normally for this next encounter. So what
do you think happens? You have set the scene, Bob, do you
want to tell us what the trap is that you have laid. Yeah,
So, going along with what Galen and with what RJ we're talking about,
and the setup and resources from Nara, what happens starting away from the LAPD
precinct that we work at we did work at, and working in that direction
is a scene of an on foot chase for a while, and then a
car chase. I go ahead. I try to make sure that my face
is visible on camera. In fact, I'd probably use my original glasses for
the beginning of the chase. It starts with an explosion. There's a building.
Maybe it has some ties to Tyrrell to one degree or another. Something
no said, would can I make a suggestion, and it's such an asshole
move. It's got to be the pie place. It's got to be Lil's
that's your sign, right, that's your symbol to each other. We can
blow that up, destroy it, but it's an offer if you want.
I think that regardless of what happens, there is an explosions. Got nothing
left. I know I wasn't there the meeting for this, so like I
would unjected, I would definitely have said I objected, I objected. Okay,
it doesn't have to be little where where else would it be? So
I think so the way I'm looking at it is it has to be real.
So it means it needs to be tactical for the resistance. It needs
to look that way. It needs to look like Galen is a part of
the resistance and was carrying out a plan. So that's why I was saying,
we need I need to let Galen choose what he would sure, what
he would decide to blow up that would be representative of him signaling both Sawyer,
because it has to be something that makes sense that it would be the
resistance. But Sawyer and Selma have to know that's them. Yeah, then
I think it would be probably more loud if we uh, if we circled
back to the building where the first bomb went off. Yep, okay,
wow the apartment. Oh wow, Okay, holy shit, Okay, say
same floor. I think as long as it's the same building, that's the
only thing that matters very publicly from this explosion. At street level will be
me chasing Galen with my gun out stop. I will move faster than probably
anybody that I've worked with to see me run, I'm essentially like parkouring between
various obstacles and things along the street, running along the wall and stuff to
avoid debris and such. I would be running sort of like Terminator two style,
just full speed, completely heedless of what Bob has said. And then
I'll make a point to I'll make a point to run up a car and
sort of have my face go right past where I know a camera is located.
I will continue to chase, but I will struggle to keep up,
purposefully taking a few shots here and there if there's enough room to do so.
I would say it's at this point that Nara will have one of her
operatives jump in front of my way. I will take them down. I
don't hesitate, I shoot them as they come at me, and I just
keep going. Okay. Now, probably a moment where I would i'll this
operative or whatever if I am. I don't know if they're ahead of me
or behind me. I'm not sure how you envision that, but if we're
trying to sell the moment, I imagine that it would probably look like I
would be trying to order them to stop you. Okay, before I say
anything else, you're about to say something I was. I was going to
ask Sawyer or Selma. One of you is rolling tech and one of you
is rolling connections. Make a choice as your connections. Well, Lizard,
could be better, could be better, could be better? All right,
you take tech, Okay, I'll take connections. Yeah, that's a one
one and a one okay one. So I want you to describe Sawyer where
you see this. It could be that you see the CCTV and Selma,
you either get a call or through your connections somehow someone informs you that they
have seen Galen on the CCTV and he's being chased by none other than Bob.
So the two of you probably meet as you're rushing to tell each other.
Yeah, and we're getting into a spinner and yeah, it's just old
business, right, reless. Did you see this? Go see this?
Yeah? I saw, I heard. We gotta move, go go go,
My god, my anxiety. Okay, all right, back to YouTube.
Then holy shit, let's go detectives Clark and Whitaker moving on por target.
Tell them who it is. Tell them who it is if they don't
know already, this just happened, right, Yeah, we we know that
it's Galen in chase by Bob. Yes, yes, that's right, that's
what you saw. Yep, and U targets Galen Edwards and former detective Windom.
Yeah it does. By the way, you did see that it looked
like Galen was ordering a resistance member around. They come up on Ida as
a known replicant, and then Bob shoots that replicant right in the face without
hesitating. If you would like to roll insight right now, you may,
but it will be at disadvantage, might as well? Yeah right, it's
if you really think that your character would second guess what you're seeing right now?
Yeah, absolutely, I don't think so. Can I make a manipulation
roll to see if they have a disadvantage or if they roll normally, Yeah,
absolutely, go for it. I was giving them disadvantage for Nara,
but yes, go go for it. This is way better. I would
like to push. Okay, push it. He rolled a three and a
three which resulted in a zero for those listening, and he's choosing to push.
Oh and now he's got a two. Okay, so you would be
rolling now your insight at a disadvantage. Sawyer still rolled a one in the
manipulation, right, so you need me to roll, you need me to
roll inside insight, yep, insight, that's a one as well. That
as a one as well. Okay, However, Galen did roll a two.
So I think you think this. I mean, it's up to you
what you think. But this is very convincing. It looks like there's a
good reason Bob wasn't a kill on site order if you doubt that Bob was,
you know, still on board it certainly it's pretty convincing that it looks
like maybe he was just hiding, maybe trying to hunt Galen down. So
I guess to to Selma, is this looking like, okay, Bob's still
on board? Yes, one thousand percent. Bob just shot a replicant and
he's chasing Galen down. This is I wouldn't push in this instance because it
would look convincing enough to me. Yeah. Okay, So there is a
part where there is a spinner for flying vehicles, Yes, how rare?
Are they very rare? Yeah? Very rare? Lap only so instead very
much or super wealthy, there'll be two ground vehicles yep, okay. Ground
vehicles are a lot more common to get a hold of. Yeah, which
again Nara had set up fairly open, easy ish to get running, I
imagine, and with the with the headstart that Galen has, you'll have the
opportunity to get into one of them and try and get it running before I
catch up with them. It's probably set up actually so that it looks like
you can't get it running for a minute, and then you probably have a
device from Nara that allows you to slap it to the dashboard and then it
will start. There's also a moment where you can see me like rip the
door open. Wow, holy shit, great, do we see that,
narrator? Yes, anyway, you have rules, so you have full static
feed footage, and what's probably happening is you've gotten into the spinner. You
are heading towards the scene, you've one of you has slapped the Kia on
the actually both of you have probably slapped your Kia is in front of you
because there's a place where you can mount them. Because remember, I know
we're probably thinking of a vehicle as our standard vehicle with the with the dashboards
and the windshields, but these spinners actually are fully open windshields kind of like
Tesla's are now where it's just like yeah, canopies, that's right. So
there's places for you to set your kas down in front of you so you
can see, but you still have full access of everything around you. But
your ka is one of them is probably showing the live feed and the other
one is showing like data as to you know, other stuff, so you
have full view of what's happening here. My god, So I can see
that Galen just ripped a door off, Yes, you can see Galen just
ripped a door off a car. Or if I'm a little s little speechless
because I think I'm I think I would probably assume at that point, right,
like that's not human, that's that's definitely like I'm not believing my own
eyes, but I have to believe my own eyes like, oh my god,
oh my god, oh my god, oh my god. I don't
say anything but mildly freaking out. Yeah, I look at Sema that I'm
quickly back on. You know, the advised one of the targets is a
confirmed replicant police order standard LPD units to disengage. Nice. So I think
I see the car start to pull away, I get into the other one,
which is a little easier to get started. I'm still dragging behind,
but I am going to gun it and I'm going to try and ram into
his car. Okay, oh my god. We definitely need a roll for
this. This is driving. Now. The question is do we give you
advantage because this is a plan. Yeah, So I would say that I
would get advantage, or you can give him disadvantage just because he knows that
you're going to ram into him. Yeah, he's supposed to wreck close to
the LAPD station. Okay, yep, so go ahead. So I think
probably maneuverability or vehicle maneuverability, and go ahead and do go ahead and do
advantage if you can do that, if it allows you to do that,
which you should, Yeah, I can do advantage. Perfect A spinner normally
has c for maneuverability. Are we rolling that this isn't a spinner though,
this is a ground vehicle. But yeah, we could just roll the spinner
if you have it on your tab, just give it a go. I'm
just That's why I'm just asking. Oh you rolled with advantage. Oh I'm
sorry. I thought we were both rolling now. But what's awful is that
I rolled with advantage and got two to one and a three. I have
no choice. I have got to push that three. This sounds to convincing.
Yep. However, because of that role, and before I roll the
next one, you will see that I am struggling to keep up with you.
Yeah. Yeah, it doesn't even just look real. It is real.
I'm noticing that I'm having a hard time. Maybe it's the vehicles.
Maybe it's just the fact that I'm not used to driving on the ground.
Always been the one who drives between the two. Yeah, so that makes
sense. Yeah, I'm having a hard time. Oh my god, Oh
my god. Okay, So, for those listening, Galen rolled a six,
four and a two, giving him a one for maneuverability. Bob rolled
a one, three and a one, giving him zero. Then he pushed
and rolled a one, so he has the only time this entire campaign triple
one, triple one. So what do we think happens? Oh my god,
I notice that he's starting to get away. There is no way for
me to My brain is running. I know that I'm not going to be
able to make him crash, but I can pretend that I knew where his
destination was and cut him off. Holy shit. So that's what I'm gonna
try and do. I am going to try and take a different road,
okay, if possible. It's going to be really fucking rough. Here's my
offer for you. Sure, because I'm an asshole I and because you roll
the triple one, I will absolutely let you go down a secret road.
But you're going to hit and injure three people and you don't know if it's
fatal or not. I'm going to roll for it in a second on your
way and yeah, yep, Okay, that's how committed he is. So
I need you two to now witness him turning down a street. Oh god,
and he hits three people in his way with no regard. He doesn't
even hesitate. He is gunning for Galen, and you do happen to you
can roll insight if you'd like, but it does look like he Yeah,
go ahead and roll insight. Yeah yeah. Oh that's a zero. That's
a zero for Selma Sawyer. Go for it, insight. Yeah, absolutely,
it's a zero for Sawyer. Are you pushing, I'm not pushing,
Okay, I'm pushing, Okay push yeah, Okay. They're heading to the
LAPD. Bob is trying to cut him off, and you know that you
can tell instinct. Okay, I'm just gonna put this into a dispatch.
Dispatch. We have some criminal activity headed towards the LAPD. I just wanted
everyone to be on be aware. If we can send some extra units,
maybe some reinforcement. Oh copy that, copy that, thank you, be
safe, over and out. Okay, all right, all right, I
need one second. I'm so sorry. I need one more driving from either
Selma or Sawyer, whoever's driving the vehicle. I think Sawyer is driving.
Okay, Sawyer, you want to roll a driving for me? And you
guys are in a spinner? Are you driving? You rolled? How do
you roll driving? That is a very good question. Tab at the top,
Yeah, at the top of the vehicle. Tab yep, yeah.
Oh I've never looked at this before my life. Manoeuverability. See, I'll
just click that. That should be fine. All right, nice too,
Okay, okay, now one more Bob, you and Galen you maneuverability one
more time? Normal role? Uh, normal role, I'm sorry, yes,
because it's deciding who gets there first. Galen has rolled a zero and
I'm normal too, right at this point? That is correct? Yeah?
Okay, this is the order in which this occurs. Sawyer is going to
arrive first, then Bob, then Galen. Go ahead and RP the scene.
The floor is yours. Okay. The second that Selma says they're heading
to the LAPD, I think I just I switch gears both mentally and I
don't know how if smeinnars of gears. I'm sorry, but I yeah,
I spring into action, and I think I take some short cuts up in
the sky obviously, I think we have some like more unfettered access and get
us there. And I think I droll my pistol and get ready to take
aim at the driver that's driving towards the LAPD because I don't know what's on
that vehicle, so I would probably try and take a pop shot to I
guess we'd set it down where we can nearby, and I'd be preparing to
try and take a pot shot to disable the vehicle, like shouting for people
to like clear the area. Yep. Okay, oh that is very good.
Okay, so you're shouting to clear the area, I need you to
roll connections please. This is going to try a casualty level. Yep.
I would definitely do that before I take a shot at the vehicle one hundred.
I'm sure it just makes Selma, you know, happy though, to
know that you are actually trying to clear the area rather than just doing what
Bob just did a little bit Pop just did. Yeah, So what I
do is I actually I fire the gun into the air, using like the
blast, just just to signal everybody, and then I level it at the
car to take a shot. No, just to clarify is this my vehicle
or is this Bob's? Because you said I was arriving last Well, that's
a good question, actually, so I would actually I would have to wait
to identify which vehicle is there first. I mean, you know, I'm
probably you can see it off the feed, Yeah, you can see it
on the feet that Bob looks like he's gonna make it first. Gotcha.
Okay, Bob, you arrive and you see the spinner, you see the
two of them. Your plan has worked. I don't suppose hesitate getting out
of the vehicle. I stop, but I sort of. I turn my
car sideways since I've gotten in front. I don't want Galen's car to be
able to push through, just in case. So I'm setting the scene of
turning the car sideways. I get immediately out and I go around. I'm
behind the door, and I look at the two of you a distance away
and nod, and I wait for Galen. I return your nod. I've
got my subcompact ready, so I think. I think. I or in
the corner, and uh do I imagine? Do you do you want me
to roll if I can see what is going on? Yes, yes,
I do. Observation that is an eight and a one, which means it's
one success. Yeah. So when you come around the corner, you will
see me first, because I've parked myself in such a way, knowing the
direction you were coming from. You can probably see the other two a little
ways behind me. From your perspective. You see me with my gun out,
can you describe what the LAPD building looks like. Yes, it is
actually the same one from the first film, and then they move it later.
So those of you who have seen both Blade Runner films, it's the
first one, not the second one, believe it or not. Somewhere between
twenty twenty three, which is the year that we're playing. In twenty twenty
five, the LAPD building is blown up, and I don't think the players
knew that when they said that. Their plan was to blow up this building
and then they have to move the building. So if that works today,
then it's fucking cannon. Okay. So the building is very, very tall.
It has a setup where you bring the spinners in up top and land
and then they lower down and then all of the floors are underneath, so
you have all of the office buildings kind of going from top sort of to
bottom. And the morgue is actually somewhere in the middle, we said very
early on, and so it's a little bit round RECTI I believe, if
I recall from the first film, but it's quite tall, two hundred and
fifty stories, I believe, all right, and ground level now I know
what it looks like in the second movie, it's a bit like almost like
a reverse empire state building in that it has those sort of rectangular tiers that
lead the way down to the ground. Is it of similar shape this first
one, because I don't remember the first one. The first one, I
believe is a bit more rectangular. But yes, it's similar shape. Just
for the sake of ourp I will go ahead and say sure, because I
don't know what you're planning, but I like it. I'm looking it up
also right now, so I have sort of taken in what's going on.
Are there only the Spinner and Bob outside right now? I think so,
Yeah, it's them. They haven't gotten out, they haven't gotten out of
the vehicle yet. Dispatch has not arrived yet, but it is Bob and
and so you see that Bob is out of the vehicle and he's got his
gun pointed towards the direction where you are. Okay. Also for those listening,
the building is round and it's kind of got like the top of it
has like five points like a star where you can bring your vehicle, and
it looks like they're four different yeah, like the cylinder And I will put
that up here on the screen in a second for those watching. Okay,
I take in what I see and realize that I'm going to have to change
the plan. I am going to hunker down inside the vehicle and I'm going
to aim it towards L A p D. Oh my god, Oh my
gosh, try and launch this car into the building. Oh my god,
Oh my god. Okay, my goal, My goal here is to have
this car rammed into the building and roll out like jump out of the moving
car. Okay. I actually will yell back to Sawyer and Selma and say
he's got a bomb. Careful as he starts to speed up. I would
radio this to this radio this real quick, be a buzz. There could
be a explosive on the vehicle that is headed towards l A p D.
We have reason to believe there may be a bomb. Copy that, Thank
you very much. I would, to the best of my ability shoot to
disabled this vehicle. That would be the next thing that I would do.
Okay, so you are going to shoot and Galen is going to do a
maneuverability. Yeah, you may push it. I can't. I am resolve,
but I hit zero. Oh so that means you need to roll on
the table, right. I have already done. So oh shit, okay,
and that's my firearms in case. Okay, Oh Jesus, it's a
three. Holy fuck. Okay. What Pebe and I have talked about was
that each time I bottom out on resolve, I'm minus one from the result
each time, and add another minus one for each time that I lose my
resolve, all the way to zero. Jesus. Okay, So let me
see what happens for this one. You have a specific table you have to
roll on now, yep, yes he does. He has to roll on
the replicant table. Sorry, I accidentally close. It happens every time.
Mm hmm, so my role. Hold on, let me find the table
here. Do you happen to know what page it's on? Oh god,
I have a bookmarks? Hold on? I got okay, sitting here like
with it riddled with anxiety and I should be opening my little safety book.
You're fine, Everything's okay. So I rolled a seven. I'm rolling a
D twelve to determine the result. But this is, if I'm not mistaken,
the third critical stress that I've done. Yes, that's John minusing of
three. So the result is a four. Oh, which in this case
means that I perform some act of physical self harm. Well in saying yeah,
I say driving into the building. Books for that completely, dude,
But I'm just gonna say it hurts you when you do it. I'm not
going to hop out of the car. Okay, Yeah, you're not going
to hop out of the car. No, you're you're going to just drive
the car until it gets disabled. Okay, I'm going to drive the car
into the building. Okay, well you're going to try. But Sawyer did
roll a three against your vehicle. So can you take three damage to the
vehicle because the vehicle does have it's uh it's four damage, but you would
get to roll armor there you go to see if you reduce it. I'm
not sure what the vehicle stats we're using, though, We're going to just
use the spinner stass because that's what we prepared for. Yeah, son,
roll its armor rating and then every success reduces the damage by one. Okay,
that's a zero. Oh my god. Okay, so the vehicle takes
four damage? How much does the vehicle have total? Five? Okay,
I take a shot. Okay, all right, roll your firearms? Roll
your fire arm? Yeah? Where is that? That's right? Here?
Uh? Do I I roll on the blaster table right, or or you're
yeah, you have a weapon, a blaster weapon. That's a one.
You can roll the arm one more time, Galen, before you do.
I was going to push that too. I would argue. I would argue,
you have advantage because this is a plan if you want it. So
I roll another D ten. That's right, okay, so if you want,
you can just reroll your blaster and we'll keep the first two. I'm
just going to roll a straight D ten, okay, because the number will
be oh yeah, now, just one success, all right, one success
on the vehicle. Okay, So I think it just goes through the windshield.
Ye show, But I will say that you both see him not hesit
and take a shot through the windshield to try to shoot Galen and take him
down rather than the vehicle, gotcha, huh, directly shot at Yeah,
directly shot at Galen. Once he knew there was you know, like there's
a bomb in the vehicle, he tried to he tried to stop. He
sped out the cars smoking and uh it's it's yeah, it's making horrible screeching
noises like the timing belt is hanging by a thread. And uh, it's
it's just a horrible It sounds like the car is screaming as I try to
ram l apd HQ. Okay, I'm looking for a window basically that I
can drive the car through. Yep. If that doesn't exist, it'll be
through the front doors. Okay, here's what I would like us to do,
because I love these contested roles. Bob, you were on foot.
You need to roll your body. You need to roll to dodge this vehicle.
Galen, you're your body yep, Galen, you are rolling maneuverability and
you two are in the spinner? Correct or did you get out still in?
You got out right? Sawyer out? Sorry? Is that dispersing the
crowd to take a shot? And so I don't know how far you need
to roll your body as well, just to make sure Galen doesn't hit you.
Mobility, mobility yep, and Selma, I'm assuming did you get out
of the car once Sawyer got out? Since you're not driving, I think
my door is open, and I'm probably like right at the door just okay,
surveying everything, but I'm not like away from the vehicle, but I'm
out of the car. Would you like to take a shot I get,
I think I would okay, yep, fire your firearms. Then that's just
firearms. Okay, one, galen roll your armor. I thought, I
gotta roll maneuverability first. This is for the shot. She's rolling a shot
on you, right right, right, okay, okay, so zero,
okay, then I know probably what's going to happen. Your maneuverability as well
was zero. Scrolling up here just to take a peek. Sawyer's mobility was
three, Bob's mobility was two. Let's describe what happens. You both obviously
get out of the way, no problem. The vehicle is going to be
hit by Selma's bullet and then run into the lapd and explode. So why
don't we describe what has happened? Oh god, yeah, okay, So
he comes barreling towards us. Yep, I yelled back, get out of
the way. And then I think I hear the gunshot from Elma's gun,
and I'm not sure where it connects, but I'm going to jump to the
side as fast as I can, knowing that I don't even know if you
you know, even if we shot them, if you could stop the car
at this point, considering how fast it's going. So I jump out of
the way, and then I watch to see what happens. Galen, Yeah,
oh sorry, go ahead. Just that. I I take a shot,
you know, trying to destroy the wheel or otherwise compromise the vehicle's my
ability. I say that it's not going to work, and I basically full
combat roll out of the way. But I raise my gun off towards as
if I might take another shot, but it's entirely too late. All right,
Galen, describe what happens. I think, uh, I think.
I go right through the front doors of LAPD. It's the cars swerving and
making horrible screeching noises. The rubber on the tires just kind of pops,
tires go out. I go partially on the concrete because everything's brutalism. I
go up onto the concrete sort of railing that's next to the stairs, halfway
onto the concrete railing, and the car launches partially through the front door and
also hits the overhang above the doors, making a horrific, horrific sort of
explosion of debris as this ridiculous savage metal grinding crunch happens. If you've ever
been in the proximity of an accident, and you know how loud and quick
those sounds can be. There's just this horrific crunching sound. The windshield is
gone from the car. Can I make a roll to see which way I
get out of this car? Yes, of course I rolled a one and
a nine. It's one success. I'm going to say that I fly through
the windshield of the car as it hits the concrete. It's a brutal moment
of me making contact possible with the steering wheel and then followed by the wall.
As I fly out of the car, there's a horrible sort of crunching
noise as I definitely break some bones. After making contact, the car sort
of hangs there for a moment where the front end is completely carved in the
top part of the car is the roof is probably squished like an accordion,
and it sort of hangs there for a moment like up in the air,
and then slowly falls back down and various bits of concrete and debris fall from
the entryway to the LAPD. I stand up very quickly after this happens,
noticing that an explosion hasn't gone off. I stand and I run, And
actually, as I run, I'm running to get into a position to look
through that hole that he has just created with some distance, because I don't
know what's happened yet. As I do, Selman Sawyer sees, I'm running
with my gun out. It's as tactical as anything. I actually put my
hands up towards you too. I'm like, and I'm waving you over,
and I look in to see if I can see either Galen in the car
or what position he's in, because I again, at this point, I
don't know what I'm seeing. So do I sestion him outside of the car?
Yeah, he motioned you over. Does he see you outside of the
car, Galen or not yet? Or would you like him to roll?
Yeah? No, you don't. You wave them over. You have about
ten seconds before I'm going to interrupt you go Okay, he's got a bomb
that's on his person. That's a stolen car. We need to get in
there. I don't know if he's even alive. After that, he's O
cosmire fucker. And you now have about six replicants filing in shooting at the
three of you sit. I kind of snap and fire at one as quickly
as possible. I'm returning fire immediately on anybody that's opening fire. Yep,
you're gonna go ahead and roll. And then Selma, you were going to
say something, Yeah, I just want to roll observation. Yep, go
for okay, whoa, oh wow, that's a four. Oh my god.
Selma rolled a four, a twelve, and and eleven, and then
Sawyer rolled in eight and a nine, giving two for the blaster. Oh
Jesus, oh my god. The crit h I choose to inflict upon this
person is massive internal organ damage, cracked skull. Oh no, you're doing
You're choosing massive internal yep, yep, yep, yep. Okay, so
you hit that skull is not instant instant death, but massive internal organ damage
immediately put someone on the floor. Yep, Absolutely it does. And if
they don't get medical aid within like a certain amount of time, they're dead.
This system is brutal for combat. Okay, So you nail a replicant.
We know the audience we know it's a replicant because we were there when
you know, Bob made the plan and the deal with Nara. But these
two probably don't know for sure that they're a replicant, except that they're they
are for the Replicant Underground, which is seen as a terrorist organization, and
they're running in opening fire. Sawyer, without hesitation, pops two shots into
this replicant. Wide eyed, they glance for a second looking around the room
to see if they can see anybody that they recognize, before they fall to
their knees, blood spilling out of their mouth, and then their eyes roll
into the back of their head and they collapse to the ground in the fetal
position. I will take a shot to cover. You will take a shot.
Go for it. Yep, yep, yep, go for it,
all right? Roll see where is it? Jesus? Okay. That's a
three for those listening, which means you need to roll on the critical table
and your damage success. Oh Jesus okay, So you get to choose between.
I actually think what this means is you can apply both because you rolled
two criticals, like you rolled one success and then you rolled two more over
it, so you're going to do four damage plus you're going to go ahead
describe what happened. Yeah. What I end up doing is I as soon
as these people yell, Sawyer turns and takes a shot, I get down
on one knee, aim, I shoot one in the leg, and as
they're falling forward, I shoot again and shoot them through the eye and they
go straight down, and then I try to find a place to get to
as well for the shootout. That is two of the six, correct,
did I say six or eight? Okay? Just making sure he said six?
Okay, yep, okay, So two out of the six go down
immediately, They're not dead. By the way they are down, they will
still have the opportunity to potentially move. Okay, so we have four more
left, Selma, what do you do? I think at this point,
I'm looking around trying to see exactly if there's four of them, trying to
see which way they might be moving. So I'm trying to deduce if they
want to kill or if they're trying to get access to the lap D.
So if they're if their quickest movement is just okay, I've got to get
in there do as much damage as I can, or if they're looking to
stay out here, which is Roll kind of trying to look at their direction,
okay, roll insight, yeah, one, uh, you have probably
two of them or three of them. We'll say three of them are looks
like they are distracting for the other two who are making it for a way
up into the lapd. Okay, I'm gonna go for the two that are
trying to make their way up to the lapd. Okay, go ahead and
roll. Okay, and I'm rolling firearm. That is correct. Yep,
you can have advantage for your insight role. Okay. Can I push?
Absolutely? Of course you can. I'm sorry at the finale and having no
resolve left. Yeah, absolutely, let's go for it. There's the time
shame still a zero. You can push again if you want. Yep,
Okay, go for it. Wait, I don't even know if it's gonna
allow me. It doesn't say I can just go back to the original and
hit the button again. I am allowing you to push as long as you're
willing to spend the resolve. Okay, Well, gosh, I don't know
if I should push again. Now I'm doing it? Cool? Nice?
Okay, you got one? You got one? Oh wait, I see
she's just doing firearms, not her actual gun. Sorry, so it won't
give you the ability to do the damage. So in your sheet, when
you scroll down, you should see underhand to hand you should see a gun
hit that one and see what comes up the three arrows next to the next,
to the entry. It should be the button looking for you by there
you go. Then go ahead and roll your damage. Shoot head, I
missed head. I shoot again, and then I think I probably just aimed
down the sides here and the one that's making it closest to like this dark
corner because they think they haven't been spotted yet. I'm going to aim for
the leg I just get one shot in right, that's correct. Okay,
Now, Galen, I need you to roll something that is like somehow surviving
from this fucking crash and getting out of the way of this mayhem. You
may have advantage because of the mayhem. It's got to be like a body.
Probably it's physically able to get out of here without I need to determine
how much damage you're taking right now from this crash. Yeah, yep,
next, Oh wow, stamina. He rolled it two, So that's a
critical good job. Okay, what do we see you're getting out of this
crash? And by we I mean the audience and I I'm clearly a mangled
mess. I'm covered in blood. Probably one of my eyes has been put
out, and there's like tears of blood just kind of falling down the left
side of my face. I'm also limping on my left leg. My right
leg has bones poking out through the skin through my clothing, and it's quite
clear that I have that. I am sort of that I'm covered in what
appears to be explosives. I am sort of crawled to my feet. I'm
sort of hobbling through the central corridor, and you can see I have a
the trigger of some kind in my hand. Then I'm holding it up with
my uh, with my with my hand visible, and I say, where's
holding huh? Okay, so you hear that when he shouts where's holding.
However, that first initial round of you getting a free shot on the bad
guys is over. Now the bad guys aren't gonna go, but we are
returning to standard combat, which means if they shoot you, you have the
option to volley back. Okay, we have six of these. The first
two that went down missed their turn. Because they are downed, they will
have to wait until next round. But that does mean we have four shots
coming in. I want somebody to roll a one D three One is Bob,
two is Selma, three is Sawyer. I'll roll are one D three
yeah, two, that's you, my dear. We trans let me open
this here, all right. The first one is coming in with brass knuckles
at you. Ohma, Okay, I don't have guns. I think I
think two of them probably have guns, but they're rare. Guns are super
rare, so I want to totally get it. Okay, So this is
a one, so Selma. This means that you have the opportunity to roll
your armor if you're wearing any which you should have a police undershirt on.
Ye yep. Okay, so you want to roll that? And how do
I roll this the armor? Yep? You should just be able to click
on the actual armor in your list. It like scrolled down in your inventory,
like towards the bottom of the sheet. I can also pull it up
here for you in a second. Okay, I'm looking, I'm looking.
I see it, but I'm not sure how to roll it. Police undershirt
armor, Yeah yeah, I've got that, but I don't know how to
roll it. If you click on it, it should You should just be
able to click on this under I'm so sorry. Yeah, I'm trying to
just click. See you might have the gear if you click click, click
the gear, then try and click it. Okay, armor signature, yep,
gear yep, no, no, sorry, the little the word gear.
I apologize, So I did it for you. Yep. So it's
the gear and then you just cover over police shirt and then click it.
You don't have to hover over the sea, okay. Okay, So for
those listening the replicant attacking with the brass knuckles, roll the one Selma's armor
roll to zero, which means you are going to take one damage, okay,
and it's not a critical so that's what you take. But oh,
that's a good question. I think right in the jaw, I think he
goes straight for your face, so he hits you in the jaw. But
you do get a chance to volley back, and you can use you can
use your gun if your gun is allowed in close range or like the it's
upcompact. Yep, so you're good, So you can use your gun if
you'd like. I think, if we're that close, I'm gonna go for
the deck to the face. So okay, the deck to the face is
not going to be as lethal as your gun. However, like if you
get a shot off, you do have a chance of fucking blowing his brains
out. But that's up to you, Okay. I think in the heat
of the moment, I'm paying attention to how my jaw feels, and I
know how it's. You know, the bar brawls that she's had kind of
gets her back to the days of like, okay, we're doing we're doing
fisticuffs. So I think that's probably why she goes to hand to hand and
maybe not immediate gun, but that's what I'm rolling. I'm going hand hand.
I'm gonna try and try and deck on my back. Yeah, okay.
That means that the attack counters out actually, and you do not.
You don't take any damage technically on your sheet. You still get decked,
but you're not going to take any damage. Okay, okay, next of
the four, roll me a one D three. I'll get you one D
three. Thank you. That's oh my god, Selma again coming in again
with the again with the brass knuckles. I'm so sorry. That's okay.
You see, if I can grab them, just take all the hits.
Yeah, you got this, I believe. Okay, here we go,
coming in with the brass knuckles. That is a two. That is a
critical So you better hope you roll a one. Okay on whatever you're voluing
back, So let's actually roll your attack and then that way, if they
cancel each other out, you're not wasting time doing the armor. Is this
the time you want to interrupt? Hold on one second? Is this the
one you want to interrupt in? Okay? All right? All right?
So you want me to roll my hand to hand or or your gun,
whichever you're going to attack with, trying to say okay, I think I
think in this instance I'd still probably be rolling hand to hand. It would
just be com yep, okay, go ahead, holy shit. Okay,
So that means that the two three, well that is a three. But
what happens then is you cancel out there too, which means you get a
hit in, which means you can now just do damage to them and with
hand to hand it's one. Okay, so you do one damage to this
person. I need to have one D three please two left? I got
you, thank you? One coming in for bob, Bob, you got
somebody coming in at you with a knife. Okay, I rolled the one,
all right, and we're doing hand to hand right well, or a
knife or a gun and it's your choice. You can use any of your
weapons that you have, as long as your gun is close combat. Yeah,
I'll put my knife out. Okay, Yeah, I figure my gun.
I figured we'll go for the knife. All right, go for it.
Okay, we exchange blows, We probably stab each other, but no
real technical damage is done for the sheet. But yeah, for the sake
of the fucking awesomeness of this, you both stab each other. Sure,
all right? Last one one? D three please three coming in for you,
sawyer, and we have another knife coming forward. I rolled, I
respond with my with my a quick droll, my subcompact. I'm in maie
range. All right, go ahead, and it's a three. Okay,
roll your critical so and you get both Jesus god, oh my god,
well it hurts yeap, Soyer does four damage? And also, do you
want both legs severed or do you want to do a severed leg and a
piercedie. I will tell you there is a tactical advantage to either. I
think I think I appreciate the brutality of ducking an under a knife strike and
then blowing both This person's knee caps out. Oh Jesus, Okay, yeah,
yep. Okay. So not only do you blow the knee caps out,
but you blow the knee caps completely off and severing the leg at the
knee. This something that's a nasty little thing. Yeah, yep. This
person falls to the ground and they've been effectively removed from combat because they were
using a knife and that's the only weapon that they have. Swyer, would
you like to take a kill shot on the same person? Yeah, they're
capacitated. Yep. I I wordlessly, uh shoot them in the back of
the neck while they're lying on the ground. And I called a Bob like
like, we'll handle the lobby. You got to stop him. I'm on
it, okay, one left on three? Please? Oh was the one
left? I thought that was the one? Wait for no, I think
there was two? Right? Somebody correct me? Was that right? Was
as Selma? One? A one? It's right? That's all. Yep,
that's all for Okay, okay, it's all y'all's turn. And I
think we're going to not start with Bob and Galen. We're going to stay
with you guys downstairs. So Selma and Sawyer, let's go. Who are
you hit them? All three of them left to the other two are on
the ground, but they will be getting up this turn unless you stop them.
So there's one, there's one dead, there's two critically injured, and
there and then there's wait, yes, because I said six total, that's
right, And then there's three that are still up. Two of those three
have guns. For the narrative's sake, I think Sawyer saying you go for
you go for Galen is that I would try and shoot the one that was
attacking Bob to clear his policy. Yes, okay, yeah, that makes
sense. Okay, And that means you're clearing one of the ones with the
knife, and that's okay. So why don't you go ahead and go first?
Oh my god, you're fucking insane. Okay, roll your criticals,
please. So I rolled the three for those listening, A ten and a
seven doing five damage. And you can choose to crack the skull, pierce
the eye, or sever the leg. And you can do two of these,
uh practice skull and pierced eye. I will just say that's one shot
that does the same thing, right. It cracks the skull on pierces the
eye at the same time. Jesus, And I'm trying and I'm trying to
move back into cover because I'm expecting to have fire living at me very soon.
Yes, this person does not have a gun, so they actually cannot
attack you back right now, but they will try to take an attack at
Bob as he leaves. Yep, that's a two, all right, let
me do uh oh my god, that's a two. Okay, So you
exchange blows. What happens? Yeah, So I start to run and he
goes to slash at me, and I think that I just sort of dodge
out of the way as I'm slashing him, and he goes backwards, but
because of his movement, I'm moving forward, he jumps backwards, so I'm
able to get past him. Yep. Okay. So yeah, so now
I'm running towards the building. We see him run towards the building thanks to
Sawyer giving him way, and I think, just briefly as I'm running.
I don't know if you can see it so or if you're looking, but
I almost like, I try to nod at you a little bit as I
go, just you know, just a and I'm sprinting. Yep, okay,
Zelma, I've got my gun positioned on the one that's trying to follow
Bob right now. And as I'm doing so, I'm also scanning the horizon,
humpit and off in the distance. I blink a little bit because I'm
not sure if that is who I am seeing. But I noticed Skiff in
a window, just staring, just watching everything go down, and I freeze,
and I get back to what I was doing, and I shoot.
Okay, I shoot the one that was following Bob, that was following the
other guy. Okay, the ones that are upright are the ones that I'm
aiming at. Okay, I'm going to there are two of these individuals with
a gun. Would you like to prioritize the guns? Yep? I figured.
Okay, So now we're gonna say that one of the people chasing Bob,
chasing the guy that was chasing Bob has a gun. Okay, go
ahead and roll. Okay, just firearms or I'm sorry, it's the subcompact.
Yes, that is correct. I don't know if I can push this.
You can push anything you like as long as you have the result.
I do. I'm gonna push it. And the subcompact damage is a D
eight. Can you remind me? Oh yes, yep? Okay, Okay,
we lose my focus because because I notice, I notice, Skiff is
just it's based off of your your firearms, I believe. Okay, okay,
okay, that's fine. That works. Hand to hand stuff is D
eight, I think usually yep, okay, and we'll do that. Okay.
So that is the So they rolled a zero as well to fire back
at you. They rolled a one and a three year rolled a two in
a one, so you exchange fire, but nobody gets hit. Okay.
My eyes dart back over to the window, Skiff, do you do anything
you can? You see me pull out my my h forty four and I
take aim and you can tell it's not at you. Oh good, And
I take a shot as close as I can get without hitting him. Oh
cold shot. Okay, I'm gonna fucking give that to you. Dude.
You're not trying to hit him. Let's go. You do it. I
want him to notice. Yep. I think swirds up to you if you
think you would notice. But I mean a bullet goes wi is pass your
hat. I think a bullet spots my head and slams into the cover on
the side that I'm on, as in suddenly just to eat, like oh
yeah, I definitely react and you see me immediately like roll over the debris
that I'm currently taking cover behind to try and find a different angle for cover
in response to it. But I'm darting around, trying to trying to look
for observation. I would argue that you could have advantage because he wants you
to see him. Sure, why not? Yep, let's do it?
Oh shit, do you push? I would push on this one. Yeah,
go for it. Oh the push roll gives a ten, so that
makes it a too critical? You absolutely lock eyes with him. I have
by motion with my gun and for those listening, I back away yep,
for those little things. He motions with his gun for him to come here,
and then backs away into the darkness. Do I notice this? Also?
You gotta roll observation? Okay, I don't see why not. I'm
not trying to hide. I don't see why not. You rolled the two
another two? Yeh one critical? You absolutely see it? Okay, what
do you two? Two? I mean we're still in a slug right now.
Take these guys down with five replicants? Ye okay, So you're gonna
say, I think we have to deal with this. We're just gonna get
shot in the back. I think otherwise, yep, just making sure you
knew. Okay, all right, that means it's their turn to go ahead
and fire. We've got or attack. We've got five replicants. One of
them was taken down this last round, so they're missing their turn. So
we've got four four attacks coming in. Roll me a one two now one
is Selma to is sawyer, I'll ll do it, okay, okay,
one Selma, I'm coming in with brass knuckles. Okay. One, all
right, I've got my gun. Yep, I'm gonna try try and dodge
it. Nope, do you push? That's a I cannot push. Okay,
then uh, you need to roll your armor. Okay, that was
a zero for those listening. Her police shirt is a one. Tanking that
damage for you. The bullet hits you, but is does not go through
your vest. Okay, okay. H second of the four one D two
please got it? One sorry, Selma coming in. I'm so sorry.
This one's coming in with a knife. One good, I aim with my
gun. Yep, try again, yep, God damn it? To two
and a one? What is happening yet? Please? Shirt at r l
oh zero Okay, you're gonna take this one damage. Actually, let me
see how much damage you take. I don't know why I keep saying zero.
I'm gonna say one because I'm pretty sure it's yeah yeah, Oh,
I see why I did it. Okay, So you're gonna take one damage
then, Selma. Okay, Okay. You probably see Selma with her gun
aim but it's a little wobbly, and this person comes in with a knife
and just slat like he makes a huge mark. Downer downer arm. Okay,
then we've got two left. Correct. I'm using my fingers for those
who can't see my cam at the moment. God, damn it, Selma,
I'm so sorry. It's okay. Okay, you got the two left
with the guns coming at you. Oh god, that's a zero for me.
Okay, I'm coming back with my gun. Oh that's the one for
you. Okay, go ahead and roll your damage. Okay, and do
I just click the damage to roll that. Yep. Okay, one damage.
It's always one, okay, kit perfect, perfect, okay, okay,
unless it's critical, that's correct, all right. And they don't have
armor so they don't get to roll to protect themselves. Okay, Okay,
that's the last one, which means it's your two's turn. We're going to
do one more round before we switch. Gotcha, Salma does not look good
right now, I assume, yeah, how is your health looking, Selma?
Well, right now it was. It's actually not too bad, but
you can definitely tell that I'm kind of winded, I'm bleeding, and my
shoulder is definitely given out because I do not want to move it because I've
been shot. Also, my jaw is really hurting right now. So I
look at Sawyer and you know, I'm just about do the thumbs up but
saying that I'm still here, so you do it, okay, right,
I think I wordless say, line up a shot on one of the people
that's attacking here. And I'd liked this is a thing that we can do
in the book that I was ready to go for, which is we can
call upon our key memory in order to uh once once per session to gain
advantage on a roll. And I think, in this moment, seeing Selma
under threat, that that's what I'm gonna do. I'm gonna use advantage on
my firearms this one time. Okay, don't we need to hear about Sawyer's
key memory. You want to hear about Sawyer's key memory. Absolutely, Oh
boy, Sawyer go on. I'm flying high. I am piloting a spinner,
very very high u possibly beyond or almost beyond like the safe limits.
And my mother is sitting in the car beside me, and we're having a
conversation about this and that and the other, but mostly about my future and
about the things that I'm going to go on to do, because I've just
graduated with flying colors from this very prestigious program with a university funded by Wallace
Corporation. And suddenly there is a lurch and there's darkness, and for a
second we can't see anything. There's a rolling blackout, as one by one,
in a wave a ripple, almost the lights of the city below us
start to dim and fade out in a wave, and then we are both
slammed back into our seats as gravity takes over and the spinner falls like a
rock, and I am upping the emergency releases to try and get the spinner
into a glide, and I'm slamming one lever and nothing's happening, so I'm
slamming it again, trying to get the pneumatics to kick in, and I
look at my mother and as I'm able to regain some control of the vehicle
but gliding, just falling with a little bit of reduction on the drag,
trying to take us as horizontal as possible and trying to break down our speed
with the windbreaks. She puts her hand on my hand. I look at
her, and I try to steer the spinner in a way that protects her
from the impact. And then we snap back into present and I take this
shot with advantage to try and protect Selma. So Polly said, that isn't
more satisfying role than we are. Like the sound effects holy shooting on the
music, and then you rolled up three, Oh pierce pierced heart. I
shoot this person through the heart and they immediately immediately collapse into the ground.
Oh my god, holy ship. Okay, oh my god, Selo.
Sorry, sorry, Selma's turn. You killed one. So now there's there's
legit only four left, right, and one of them's disabled, like,
oh Jesus God, there's yeah, I remember correctly, there's four left.
One has the massive internal organ damage and it's basically just crawling. And then
there's three in various states of injury. Yeah, three that are giving you
trouble. So we're gonna go ahead and let you to attack Selma. You
can go, okay. I don't even know if Selma or if I realize
how powerful that was because it was just so efficient. It was like that's
so I were just just doing his job. So I'm scanning for the next
the one that's closest to us at this point, because she's just been hit
with with everything, so she's looking for the next next, uh next hit
that's coming. So who's the closest and who's moving? I think you've got
the one with the knife and the brass knuckles are the closest to you.
Okay, Okay, so she's gonna go. I'm gonna go for the one
with a knife, okay, first, and I'm gonna I'm gonna shoot at
them. Yep. Yeah, you hit him, you do one damage.
Okay, unless you push and want to push for a critical I don't think
I can yep. Okay, all right, next up, Sawyer, you
actually can have around just because it's so fucking bad ass. Yeah, sure,
yep, why not good, I'm gonna I'm gonna push that, Oh
my god. Okay, yeah, you spend any resolves. So I,
oh, actually, I don't think I can fight you back because you're out
of range of me. I'm by Selma, so ignore that too, just
roll. It seems like everyone kind of ganged up on Selma. Yeah what
ye visually is saying? Yep, I think she was out in the open
more than sorry. I think I I will push that again. Yeah,
holy shit, okay, yep like this, hm hmm, that's weird.
Oh yeah, I see. Okay, so zero, So you're gonna keep
the original, which is one damage, still correct, just the one damage.
That's fine, all right, So I'll take two resolves. Okay,
so we still have three left, and it's two damage from this pistol,
from this blaster. I think, on whoever I'm shooting at, okay,
oh okay, wonderful. That guy goes down. How do you kill him?
I think same was the other one. I shoot them through the heart.
I think, just one after the other. That leaves two up with
Selma and one on the ground with the internal injury. Yes, that is
correct, I think. So yeah, all right, and I say come
get me skin jobs, you know, just to just to just to wheel
it back a little bit. Holy shit. Okay, I'm just checking to
see if you guys have fucking AMMO in here, because I don't think AMMO
is an issue. I don't think ammunition is tracked in this system. It's
not. I I'm checking right now. There is an ammunition if you are
changing the ammo's hype perhaps, I think if you're loading a yeah, you
can choose to do sonic rounds or other stuff too, but AMMO is not
a thing we have to worry about. So you're good. Okay. So
I'm sorry. We've got two or three left. Didn't I just say?
You killed the one and the other one's mortally wounded, so technically the one
one did one through the hot another one did. There's three left. One
of them has massive two. Yeah, okay, so we're gonna go ahead
and rule. I know I said I was gonna switch, but I'm a
fucking liar because there's only two left. So these two are going to go
ahead and attack roll me A one D two. I was hoping that come
attack me after I murdered two people and then yelled at them. One of
them, the gun one is going to but the knife guy is still on
SELMA. But I will roll for it. Okay, you want to roll
that one D two I will, yes, Okay, Selma killed me,
knife coming in for you at the all right, I'm gonna try and shoot
get a get a hopefully my arm. Ah Okay, you take a damage.
Yep, this one actually sinks into the bicep and I feel it.
It's like a it's like hot hot needles, but there's just a ton of
them going into your arm all at once. It's weird feeling being stabbed,
and it's very new to Selma, but she's not aware of it until a
couple of minutes later because her adrenaline's going. But man, it's just an
odd feeling to be like ah ah, and now she's trying to manage this
this arm as well as keep her gun up. Okay, one more?
How much times does that do? Just one? Just one? Okay,
how are you looking, by the way, looking okay, still on my
feet at this point yep, yep, yep, still still still standing,
Okay, definitely bleeding. You can you can see that there's at this point
both both sleeves on my clothes are just stained red. Okay, go ahead
and roll Sawyer. The guy with the gun is definitely going for you because
he looks at Salmon goes, oh, she's a gonner. Two. I
rolled the two. All right, that's God's favor of me. Please,
Jesus Christ, are you pushing that three? I'll push the three. Yep,
push the three. You'll keep the ten Jesus. Okay, So that
means you've rolled the three. So roll your critical table. But you only
get one because your two canceled each other out. Oh no, sorry,
so you don't get a critical because he rolled the jube. Yep. So
you just you just do the damage yep, the two damage. Yep,
he's still up. Okay, you two last round and then I really really
really really will sow which All right, Selma, you want to go first?
Yeah, I'm bleeding, looking pretty rough. But the person with the
knife, yep, the guy with the knife, he's right, he's right
next to me, right, Uh huh. Okay, So I've at this
point, I'm kind of seeing stars because because there's there's a whole lot of
blood going on. But I'm gonna take my my my gun, and I'm
gonna aim maybe a little bit a little bit lower. Uh, maybe maybe
something that that can incapacitate them. Yep. Okay, god dang. They
also rolled to zero, so you trade blows but you miss. They try
to swipe at you with the knife but they miss that I missed, and
I'm you can, I can? You can hear me? I'm I'm panting
at this point too, because there's recoil from the gun and that's hurting my
arm every time I do it as well. Yep, okay, Sawyer,
you're gonna fire. If you roll a three, I will let you have
an extra attack to try to save Selma's life. Okay, no pressure,
no pressure if roll three like this, if you want to push that three,
this is a circumstance to which sorry will push the three. Yes,
two, Oh my god, just to two. But roll a critical and
maybe you'll get lucky and get a kill shot. Oh wait, cratch skull?
Is is that the kill shot? I think it is with piercing,
isn't it? Is it? I actually thought it was. I got a
cracked skull once it's Bob. But considering everything about Bob, I don't know
if that killed him. You like to know correct kill is lethal? Yes,
but it takes a week, Okay, not an instantaneous. Okay,
but I'm gonna say they've hit the cracked skull and they'll at least go down.
They are immobilized for this, it would still be it's still be three
damage as well. Then they're dead. They're dead. Yep. Absolutely,
you crack their skull and you have murdered them. I'm such a liar.
Go ahead, and I think I sprint at this person to make sure and
like get into close combat with them, to make sure that they can't attack
Selma again. I'm trying to make them focus on me for the time being.
I'm hoping I don't get shot out again from No. No, you
just killed the one with the gun. You just killed the one with the
gun, and now you've only got the one with the knife fighting Selma.
So and I'm a huge liar because only one remains now and I just want
one more round. Okay, So I'm coming in with a knife on Selma
three. Oh no, this is bad. Oh this is bad. That's
actually really bad. That's actually really bad, actually really bad. Okay,
No, it's okay, it's okay. Okay. Before you do that,
allow me to just reiterate to those watching I roll the three which means I
have two critical successes, which means if she rolls a zero, I roll
on the critical table and I get to keep two. Two of those on
the critical table are just instant death. Mm hmm okay, well, no
pressure. I think I'll roll hand to hand here. Okay, Oh my
god, Selma rolled a two, and which means that I only have one
success remaining, which means I only do one damage. I do one damage,
and you get to roll your armor. Roll your armor, roll your
arm. Okay, okay, I do no damage. I do no damage.
I do no damage. Oh my god. Okay, Sawyer, roll
your attack on this guy. Okay, okay, I can't attack you because
I'm engaged. Here's Selma, here's heart. I run up from behind and
put the gun, put the gun to the back, shoot him through the
heart and kill. Let him fall to one side. Oh god. And
I'm immediately and there's one left on the ground crawling somewhere. But fuck that
guy. I'm focusing on Selma right now, trying to trying to help her
up to a sitting position, and I'm kind of woozy, and I go,
hey, you got him, and I sort of fall into your into
your body. Okay, very faint. Last, last, very important question,
Sawyer. Do you go for skiff I I steady Selma against what I'm
assuming is more debris. Yeah. How fucked are you? Yeah? Yeah,
let's give you a scene. Take it away. Sorry, I'll shut
the fuck up. I will. I will. There's this moment that I
think you see it in my face where I I my eyes are off at
that building, and you can see in my head that I'm making this decision
between these two points. And then I immediately stop putting pressure on your wounds
displayed Runner Clark. I request immediately and seat in my location. Copy that
I need backup secure this area. Immediately copy that. Copy that. God,
you know what you need to do, and you know what you need
to do. You don't need to stay here. There'll be helping. My
job is protect You're my partner. I'm not leaving off. Ah. Meanwhile,
Holden, I start yelling at the top of my lungs. God,
damn it, Galen, Why this act is going to kill everyone. We
have to wake up the world, and it's going to start with the LAPD
wake up the world with a bomb. It's spitting right in the face authority.
You do this, then you're noe and I stopped myself. Yeh,
don't do it, Galen, come on, put it down. No one
else needs to get hurt. There's been enough of that. Don't make me
do this. I look around, Do I see holding anywhere? Wh There's
enough explosives here to take out the building. The whole thing will come down.
It'll give the Replicans a chance. Do you care? I'm so sorry
rule observation both of you. Two from Galen, one from Bob. I
think you see the camera in the hallway. Turn and now you know you're
being watched. Boldin will probably see this, even if he's not standing here
in the hallway. Why do you care? Why do I care? Because
Replicans are people too. They don't deserve to be murdered in the streets.
They don't have a choice. We've never had a choice. You don't ask
questions, You just kill us. After noticing the camera, I look ik
Klein right into his eyes. You were my partner, you were my family.
I'm sorry, and a fire right at the eye socket where if there
was an identification, it's no longer there. I look for other people in
the lobby. I'm like get a bomb squad in here. Now, Oh
it was just us. You were my brother. I'm sorry, sorry,
And then I turned to walk outside to check on the other two. Okay,
Alan, I can't see both my eyes have been put out. Oh
my god. From both eyes there are just trails of blood. I lay
there, knowing that I helped Bob, gave him another chance, he gave
him more choices. I've only had a few myself. My memories are only
of pain, memories that don't belong to me. But for a time,
I breathed the same air, I felt the same rain, and I carried
the weight with those memories that didn't belong to me. It wasn't just about
survival. I was looking for a level playing field, a world where we're
not just shadows. But in the end, I'm just a blip in the
system, just a glitch and some other king's plan. As the last of
my breath escapes me, I think about Bob, I think about Skiff,
and I hope that I did right by them. Ar J, what were
you doing during that entire interaction? Me? Yes, for the most part,
just watching, making sure the plan went off without a hitch, seeing
off ours as they went in all six. I knew all six. I
broken bread with all six. It's funny, just when I feel like I
getting sentimental, it comes back to the guy how much I hate them.
Hate means so much to me, so much for me, and I'm not
sure why. Enlightenment part of who I am portfolio of captivating experiences beyond the
boundaries of your imagination. And I thought I knew fresh air guys an experience
clear in the last few hours. You ever heard of an anachoic chamber before?
You can't hear anything, nothing, just yourself, your own thoughts,
your heart beat, your breathing. Being in a room with Bob, it
was like that. Every breath I took, he took. When I held
my breath to test him, he did too. At the same time,
I don't know who I am, what I am, or why, but
I don't think I care about why anymore. The job is done. That's
good enough for me. I think for the cause, for the cause.
Sometimely we join Sawyer and Selma and Holden inside the lapd. Well done,
Thank you, sir, Thank you, sir. I needs you to put
your gun and he looks directly at you. Sawyer on the table and your
badge as well, and sit down. Of course, I unbuckle my holster.
I have two. I have an underram and a side. I placed
them both down along with my batch, and I glanced to Selma almost like
looking for a reassuring look, and then I take a seat against I'd give
you a one of those. I don't know. I'm still standing. He
picks up both of the guns, tucks them away, and looks at you,
Sawyer, and says, how many was that replicans that you've retired in
the lobby of the LAPD, sir. No, your entire career so far,
thirty one. I understand it's a lot in a short amount of time,
sir, but the UH needs must Selma, sir. How many of
you retired in your entire career at this point, Sara, I believe the
entirety is something like twelve or thirteen. Mine's twenty. He looks you dead
in the eye, Sawyer, and says, I want you to answer all
of her questions, every single one. Do you understand her? You understand?
Yes? Whose questions? He gets up begins to walk out of the
room before placing a hand on Selma's shoulder and says, I trust your judgment
and leaves the room. The person who walks into the room next is different
than you expect, but you recognize the face of Nara Anderson. She sits
down in Holden's chair and she's looking at something in her hands, A file
folder. Do I notice anything about this filefolder? Do I see any information
on it? Roll observation? I can't push? And what did you roll?
For those listening? A zero? You do not notice anything on the
file folder. I'm still standing alright with my hands behind my back. Narra
Anderson. You are answering my questions, then I'll answer all of yours.
Understood, understood the poem pale fire. Do you know it? I have
a cough, Yes, of course. Recite your favorite stanza. I glanced
to Selma for a second. First four lines. I was the shadow of
the wax wing, slain by the false azure in the window pane. I
was the smudge of ash and fluff, and I lived on, flew on
in the reflected sky. Each time I speak a word from that stanza,
you will repeat it back to me as quickly as you can. Do you
understand? I understand? Ready? Ready false? False? How does it
feel to lie to someone you love false false. Do you ever feel like
your face isn't yours? False false? Do you ever feel you will ever
hesitate in the moment? False? False? Reflected reflected. Do you recognize
yourself when you look in the mirror? Reflected? Reflected? Do you ever
see yourself in in the eyes of your colleagues? Reflected? Reflected? Do
you have your own opinions or do you just repeat the ones you hear?
Reflected reflected? Wax wing waxwing? Have you ever seen a bird in flight?
Waxwing? Waxwing? Have you ever seen one fall from the sky?
Waxwing? Waxwing? Have you ever ripped its wings off? Bloody feathers?
Waxwing? Waxwing? Slain? Slain? Do they look more real when they're
alive or after you've killed them? Slain? Slain? Does your breath catching
your throat when you walk past the morgue? Slain? Slain? Could you
handle watching your partner die in front of you? Slain? Slain? You
are the first success of the Blade Runner replicant program. Congratulations, What that's
a lie? I assure you. It is not. No, that is
a lie, I assure you. Why are you doing this. Now you've
been working with terrorists. You are a terrorist. I stand up and I
slap the folder down on the table, and I opened the first section of
it so that you can see all of the data in front of you.
You are designed by Kano Nakayama himself. Okayama, that's right. I wish
it was me, but it wasn't. He was right of absorption and I
was wrong. I have surgical scars all over my body from the accident.
Of course you do. You wouldn't believe it otherwise. What is it that
your father always used to say, there's nothing in life worth having that you
didn't fight for and were fighters. Yes, Connor used to say that all
the time. I look to Selma. You have with you the greatest blade
runner in existence. You can choose to keep him as your partner. Work
pulling up to you, and I stand up and walk out of the room,
leaving you too alone. I am clutching a glass of water in my
off hand, which has splintered and shattered under my grip, and now blood
is pouring from my left hand. And I stand up very slowly, and
I walk over to the window, and I am the most lost you have
ever seen me? Fuck this? And I go over to you and I
grab your hand. So we're going to get some answers right now, hang
on a second, just a second, right now. I don't care.
I don't care. I don't care what she just told you. We're going
to go out in that hallway where you get us some answers. Okay,
okay, I'll follow you. You've saved my ass out there? How dare
they? And I yank your hand away from the window because I can see
where you're going. And we go out in that hallway and I look for
Nara Anderson role observation. It's a two. You can catch up to her
if you like, and I stop her. It looks like she's about to
head out, and I just stand directly in front of her. Well,
this is an interesting choice, sure is. Who the hell are you?
Why are you here? Nara Anderson, lead developer at Terrell Not Anymore retire
two years ago, has since been noted to be working with Wallace Corporation,
with known ties to the Replican Underground. But it seems that it doesn't matter
anymore. No, No, it doesn't seem like it matters at all.
Doesn't seems like this was just one big, fat lie. And I pull
out my gun and I motion to go into the room next to me.
I want to chat. I move into the room slowly. I don't seem
panicked, and I sit down. Is there a chair here? Have you
taken me to an interrogation room? Where have you taken me? Yes?
Yes, okay, wherever the nearest set of chairs is. Is emotion for
Sawyer to join us. Come in close the door. I do exactly as
she asks me, with no hesitation. H Why why why would you make
a why why would I make a what this campaign against a replicant only to
bring a replicant into the fold. Because it's the future, The future,
that's right, what future? The only you will have? They that's right.
They My eyes dart to Sawyer and then back to you. The only
future they will have is if they can pass for us, that's the But
that's not what we want, right. The whole point was not to have
that. The whole point was not to have them pass. The whole point
was to weed them out. And I look at Sawyer. He can do
that for you. I can't stop you. The only reason I am alive
right now is because I gave this info to hold him and hold anew?
How long did holden? No? Not long? He was just as surprised
as you were. Okay, And I'll lean back in my chair and now
look at miss Anderson. You said you were wrong about emptasy. What did
you mean by that? It would appear that you have to cut out your
heart to pass baseline? Was there a real sawyer clerk once upon a time?
Yes, he died in a crash. Unfortunately. Where is he buried?
Was he buried? It was in his insurance policy that we would keep
him living, and we did. Huh? You know what? And I
look at the person standing nearest to the door. You should be able to
decide what happens to this person, not me. I'll look the other way,
miss I. I still know if she cares, so please, do
you know how Eldon Tyrrell died? Yes? I do, killed about his
own creations, that's correct. Did you ever foresee that happening to you?
I saw it as a possibility, yes, But the data from this encounter
is worth the risk. The data, the data, that's right? What
did they change? See for yourself? I think in my left hand,
I'm still clutching a shard of that broken glass, the drinking glass that I
shattered, and I I'm very close, close enough to reach out and touch
her. At this stage, I simply watch you. How long do I
live? My eyes dart very briefly to Selma and then back to you.
You're the first with an uncapped lifespan. Selma roll insight. I'm lying,
but I'm doing it out of empathy. You can call me on it if
you wish, or you can stay silent and let Sawyer think he has all
the time in the world. I don't know if I can make that call
right now. She rolled one. For those listening. I sit there and
say nothing in might did his mother survive? Unfortunately not. Can you tell
me one reason why I should let you live? No? Are you gonna
cute doing this? Are you gonna make more like me? If I don't,
someone else probably will. I ram the shot of glass into her throat.
She does not break eye contact with you. She struggles back in her
seat, grabbing at her throat. Blood squirts everywhere all over you, the
table. Selma probably gets a little bit on her as well, and then
she starts clawing at her throat, her eyes wide. This was clearly unexpected
for her, and then her eyes slowly lose focus and she goes limp,
eyes open, mouth the gate and I stand up, and I don't know
what to do in this instance, but I go over to the person known
is Sawyer and I reach out to them in an embrace. I collapse into
your arms and I quietly so it's okay, that's okay. I got you,
I got you, I got you. M hmm okay. What what
is it to be human? Is it knowing right from wrong? I think
humanity lies in the struggle with the question and O and the answer is killing
you right? I have to admit at this moment, I don't care.
Can I speak just for a few minutes, be my guest. Everything that
I was taught, everything I learned, all the memories they gave me.
There's only two people I cared about impressing Selma and you and I. I
think it's funny because I remember them saying that some of them love because of
memories that are replicant had of you, and I guess everyone has to wonder
who taught them to love, who taught them to hate? Was it Selma?
Was it Narah? Was it you? I don't know. All right,
all I have amounted to is a bloodstain on the glass. If you
I think it's right to kill me and Skiff, just admit the word alike.
Just admit that if they made me, they've made me to be the
worst parts of you. Like I said, I don't care for you.
Natalie, Hi, see Ike Sma s Hi everybody. Yeh, goddamn cheers,
y'all cheers. That was so fucking good, I said, I think
I like also, I know I just said this, but I'm so sorry
that the ads were playing during the beginning of myerst speech. I was so
immersed that I just like, I didn't even think that they would be there,
and I was like, oh, do I just leave the screen here?
Do I go to black screen? Or if this one will be good?
So I apologize fucking ruined the finale, But otherwise, you guys destroyed
it. You killed it, man, you fucking killed it. Oh what
a time. That was very intense. It was very intense. Oh yeah,
it's good ship. I feel like every single week and this is to
everybody in the audience as well. We at the end were like, oh
god, we're just so tapped, like emotionally so tapped. I'm still like,
oh my god, oh my god, the finale, Oh my god,
that was the finale, Like, oh oh it was good. Yeah,
that was good. What a nice such a It's such a treat for
me, and I'm sure for a lot of people when like like a bunch
of nerds get together and take ship, like take something, you know,
made up phony, whatever you want to call it, like like take ship
like this seriously. Yeah, Apecially, it's really special because every every single
person in this cast took it seriously. And sure there are moments of levity,
of course, but like when it came when it came down to it,
Fuck, this is one of the best casts I've ever been a part
of. Everybody took it as seriously as I did, and I love that.
Ye. Also, this is real whiskey. Every time I drank on
stream except for like the first time, it's been real whiskey. So I'm
a little bit like you guys. So we are gonna do its, you
guys. Yes, So we are going to do a round table next week,
which means it's for a few hours same time, which is four pm
Eastern. If you have any questions for these players about their characters or process.
Feel free to drop that in the discord and we'll collect all of those
questions and prepare them for next week and our discord for those on YouTube or
anything like that should be linked in the description below. For those listening to
the podcast, it's discord dot gg slash table story, So yep, please
come join us, drop in those questions. We'll be back next week.
But I wanted to give everybody a chance to say goodbye and say who they
were since we don't normally do shout outs. Take it away, Meyer,
fuck you here. First, Hi, my name is Maya. I played
our Jay this campaign, and yeah, a shout out. Well, I
mean, well, first of all, I think it's a it's an odd
one for me, right because, like I'm kind of a cameo character,
so I kind of I'm coming at this with this almost like feeling of being
part of the like the people watching, you know, like part of the
audience, And it's been really cool to kind of just insert myself into the
story and to react to all the characters and the story you guys built all
along the way. It's been a really interesting experience, and thank you guys
so much. For you know, like I guess you know, it's a
it's a weird one, right, accepting me into the into the production because
you know, you guys already had your cohesiveness and you knew each other,
and I've you know, I've our people whack I've oppeied with with with a
PB and Aaron before, but still, you know, like there's always that
added element to it. But yeah, anyway, thank you for like always
picking up whatever I put down and making me feel comfortable to RP with you
guys, and for tolerating my bullshit and chat and stuff as well, because
like whenever they were being serious, I was ship posting away trying to see
if I get in reactions. I tried to get Meyer to break when he
was doing a serious scene. Today I sent him most stupid, stupid do
but held it together though I'm here right now. But last words, it's
my first time arpeing with el Spith, with Zeke and with Flick as well.
Actually I've arpued with Flick before in wild RP, but it was my
first time doing this kind of like more personalized style of role play. And
it's been an honor to role play with you guys, it's been awesome.
You guys all so like the clock speeds you guys operate at are so fast.
It's it's it's unbelievable. Like when you're there and you're like, you
know, just the things you guys come up with the way like watching you
guys like just be able to like bounce off each other and like further the
story. You'll further a plot line or a conversation based off one line.
Like it's just awesome. It's really cool. And I'll stop gushing now because
otherwise I won't stop. But yeah, that's not a shout out. However,
my name's Meyer. You can find me at Twitch dot tv forward slash
Meyer where I do stuff, what stuff you can find out there. That's
the shout out perfect. Aaron. Hi, my name is Aaron Black.
That's it. Okay, you need to shout anything out, but you can.
You can. Yeah, give us your Twitter at least. Come on,
come on, let's go. He's a writer. He's a writer.
He's writers talking. Look up, Aaron. I'm a writer. I wrote
a book called Firewall Down. It is a detective mystery novel. Fund The
main character's name is Detective Luther Lake. So when when Zeke's like other personality
came out and it was a detective Lake, I was like, what the
fuck? I had no idea. Yeah, dude, it was pretty fucking
great. So yeah, it's on Amazon. If you want to pick it
up, you're more than welcome to Uh. It's a good, easy fast
read. Book two is next month, right, I will kill you it
is not next month? Is that a source of subjector that's it's what it's
become. It's the next book coming out. It'll be like that. I'm
you know, no, I don't know when it's done. It's done,
It's done. Yeah, Yeah, that's that's me. I'm I'm on Twitter
at Aaron B. Wrights and there's a lot that I want to say,
but I am going to hold off for now so everyone else can get through
their stuff. But love you guys, fucking fantastic cast. Holy shit,
thank you, whack hi everybody. I'm Wax Stephen. I played Galen for
you here on the show. I hope you enjoyed this strange and complex character.
He was probably one of the harder characters that I that I've played,
just from the thought process that was that was going on, and it was
a beautiful thing to see everybody really shine in this show. I think everybody
really had many, many amazing moments, and I think that I was just
impressed by everybody at various points. It wasn't just once. It wasn't like
one time here and there, it was many times, usually every episode.
So I just want to say thank you to the rest of the cast were
being so incredible and being really easy to role play with, and a big
thank you to Peb for just putting her heart and soul into the show.
And you have no idea how hard it is to run one of these shows
on table story. It's really difficult. And Peeb has a magic power that
allows her to think ahead many steps with like multiple scenes simultaneously. It's crazy.
I don't understand how she does it in the way that is keeping true
to the lore and also making us a part of the story. And this
was supremely challenging. I know that I probably couldn't have done anywhere close to
as good a job as Peebe did on this show, And from start to
finish, I have been a breast get regnord, Pebe. Do you need
a pucket cut up into whack your toe elsewhere? A different area. You're
good. I'm not saying I'm bad. I'm just saying what Peebe has done
is incredible and she's the only one that can do things this way. So
great job to everybody and especially you, Peebe. Wonderfully done. Uh yeah
uh Hi bels Beth, I played Selma Whittaker on the campaign for You also
a supremely challenging character. I rolled for this character, so it was not
something that I was expecting. This this archetype, and that was really difficult
to portray because she's supposed to be this hard boiled older person on the Force,
and that is really really difficult at some points for me because I'm very
i tend to be very forgetful. I'm not very observant at all. So
when when you guys would point out, well, didn't Selma know about this,
It's like, actually, Selma probably knew, but LPA's definitely forgot.
So so there were so many points where I'm like, I am just not
hard boiled like at all. Bro. This is very difficult, But what
made it easier every single week was definitely most definitely being a part of such
an amazing cast. I just wanted to tag on there. Everybody did it
an outrageously good job, and I loved seeing people really get into their depths
with their characters, not just like, oh, here's like the good parts
of them, because everyone wants to be able to shine and be like,
oh look, how look how well I'm doing at like like this dramatic moment.
There's also so much subtlety that everybody brought, which I was like,
God, it's like in the in the finer details where like the little things
that they say, it's like, oh, you can tell they're really hurting.
And there was so much authentic pain I think brought to this to this
table as well, So that was really like, wow, amazing the channel
that. And I'm also tagging on to just the sheer magnitude of a force
of a Promethean person that is the Pumpkinberry. And one of the sole reasons
that I signed up for this was simply because because she asked, Because I
anything that Phebe does is motherfucking gold. Role playing is always a joy because
it's like one of those instances where when she's GMing, you're like, I'm
in good hands. I don't have to worry. I'm fine, I've got
my safety net here because yes, even though there might be a really like
hard moment it might be really difficult to RP and get through, I'm gonna
get emotional to here. Boebe is always like there to make it like it's
okay, it's part of the story. And that's like comforting in itself because
she's just a really fucking good story teller. Okay, I love you,
Peebe, that's all. I thank you so much, you know, the
audience to you guys are I think it was so awesome to be like,
oh yeah, fux selma, like just watch it. That was awesome,
So thank thank you and everybody did great. Okay, let me thank you
zeke shout out zeek. No. I just I just want to marry.
I have the have the right person that I'm going to shout out real quick,
uh yes say you that is you? Okay real quick, just just
off the top. I just want to shout out, uh kJ L four
seven three yea for way of ranalyzing every episode. Holy goddamn. Like I
go to the like the the actual table story discord and I'm like bro bro
or bro or bro s like you are you are reading a lot into this
and I appreciate how invested you are. You're more invested than most of the
characters in the show. For real though, for real though, I love
that shit. I love nerds getting nerded out. I love that shit.
So I just want to shout you out real quick, just to uh to
piggyback on what Elsbeth was saying, Uh, PB is one of those yes,
I'm gonna talk about you, Pep. Pep is one of the dms
that let's lets you play, and she's one of those dms gms that lets
you give her an idea and she'll do this like this weird like PB thingers
are like, yes, that is the thing that we want to do.
And I was like, oh wow, I thought it was a minor like
thing. It's great, it's great, it's great. It's like I've done
like the only thing I get related to you. And I'm sure, like
I'm gonna say, maybe Flick and maybe Aaron improv. When you have a
yes and person of someone who's willing, someone who's a player, who will
play with you, that's bb BB plays and that's that's not something that's it's
it's rare. That's someone like yes, as you and I hate to even
use that term because it's been like, you know, devalued from saying it
so much. But like that's it is a thing. It's like, yes,
I want to do that for you, but I want this to happen
to very important, very important for a role player, someone who takes it,
you know, who loves it as much as I do. And I've
said this many times, like if I could, if I could, just
if I could do role playing rather than video games to make a living,
I would do that absolutely. This is you know, D and D RP
like all the ship, this is this is my first love and uh,
video games is a close second, but like it's still second because I love
this shit and when it's good, ain't nothing better. So that is not
just BB. That is everybody in the cast yep, doing their job,
and that job is to play. And I'm forty three year old. I'm
gonna be the oldest person here. You and I are pretty close, apparently,
I'm forty three years old and I still love love to play pretend.
Yeah, and it's still one of my favorite things to do. You know,
you're never too old for it, man, I hope I never get
too old for this shit. I love playing pretend. So thank you all
for being here, and thank you for being a part of this, and
thank you to the cast, and thank you to PB for putting this all
together. This is one been one of my favorites, you know, I
mean, Nocturn has its own thing. It's like a home put place on
the shelf, of course, but like this was wonderful. Yeah. So
and I hope I hope we did, like really importantly to me, I
hope we did. Fans of Blade Runner proud because I'm a fan of Blade
Runner. I'm like, I'm a fan of both. Like I'd never the
books, sorry, but I did. I've watched both movies several times,
just not only like, I watched them several more times after knowing I was
in this and during the run the show, I watched them again and again.
At least I think I probably watched them three times, both the old
and new, just to like, go, okay, am I saying right?
Am I doing the things right? Like? Is this good? You
know? This? Does this belong in the universe? So thank you?
Goddamn I rambled, holy shit. If you want to follow me twitch dot
tv slash Ezekiel underscore. I I on Twitch, Twitter, and YouTube.
Ezekiel the Third all spelled out on Instagram tikok, thank you for being here,
thank you, thank you. Flick Hi, I'm Flick. You can
find me at twitch dot tv flicker clad. This is my table story debut.
I decided to play a very uncontroversial character just to get started. Went.
I have a sign host that says bring back Live. I mentioned this
in the discord, but everybody chat, you guys were rooting for them.
You're rooting for Selma and Sawyer dere in that fight because Sawyer is the main
character. The funny fact I never sold either Blade Runner film until Peb said,
Hey, I've got this thing. I'd like, very small role.
I just need you to do some like some voiceovers basically, and that's that's
it. That's the whole shebang. And I said, oh, that sounds
like fun, and so I watched the films to get into it, and
then I kind of kind of like stepping into a fairy ring, like a
face circle. I have been since trapped as a cast member ever since,
and it's been an absolute joy, an absolute joy. If you can start
to finish. Yeah, and I am very grateful that I got through roleplay
with all of these fantastic people, because every single scene is just felt very
alive and very kinetic and complete, completely unpredictable. We love to hate you,
Flick. I love to hate me too, man. We'll talk about
the roundtable, but that was very much a check in moment for and Slick,
was that we would check out. God, I'm taking over as No,
you're good, Yeah, did you? You did already do your u
r L right, Flick, i'd wonderful, great, Okay, thank you,
I'm p B. I'm gonna I've kept them for way, way,
way over time, so I'm gonna try to keep it short. But I
nope. I was going to try really hard to do this without getting emotional,
but that's going to be difficult. This is one of the best casts
I've ever had. This is one of the first times I've ever and I'm
not lying to you, this is probably the first time I've been tempted to
do the show longer than I when I know it's over, to keep going
when I shouldn't, because you all wear such a joy to GM four and
everything I put out there. Yes, handed me back. You loved your
characters. You kept me thinking, you kept me on my toes, and
I was having a lot of fun. I had so much fun with this
show. And yeah, you guys did me proud. This is a show
that feels like it's in Blade Runner. I don't care what anybody else says.
I'm a huge fan and I did read the book many many times Collector's
Edition of the book. I am a huge fan. And like the fact
that everything that you guys did fits in the world it could be canon is
just icing on the cake. Everything that you did was perfect. Thank you.
That was it? What the fuck? That's it? And you twitch
dot and Berry. But also, I'll be here. I'll be here next
week for the roundtable. So once again, if you've got questions for these
players about their characters or their process or whatever, go to our discord and
