that bar fills dot is to a how she wants to us, And two,
every single doll that goes into goes back to these wonderful, amazing faces
that you see here before you. That being said, don proceed to blow
up Coriolis. Well that's not really the end gold, Mike, but you
never know. I'm sitting on eleven darkness points in which I have promised to
spend before the end of the campaign. Okay, that we believe you to
your end goal. Okay, so I will not do a recap because that
was a beautifully, beautifully edited recap, I thought, Mike, thank you
very much. Well done, sir. Yeah, like wow, well done.
So seasons in let us not forget that. At the very tail end,
after learning all this information, being provided some gear which sewell dropped off,
and Melyssa telling the crew that they would begin moving these refugees off of
Coriolis. That was her main goal. There was an attack, or at
least an explosion that happened on the far end of the space station Coriolist.
Now it rattles everything, stuff falls off of shelves, though there's no direct
like explosion, walls don't implode. It seems to be rather far off from
what you can tell, but there was a pretty massive explosion for what you
can tell on the other side, and as everything kind of settles for a
second, and you know, a ten cup finishes like rattling on the floor,
you hear Jelyssa's voice ring up as she calls for like troops to grab
weapons and gather everything they can. They need to move people quickly, and
our episode picks up in a moment of a little bit of chaos brought on
by a darkness. Actually was a corruption bart last week that did that corruption
Thanks chat, thanks at this. I'll say, okay, well we can't
wait, so let's get going, and we'll start heading towards uh, grabbing
what gear packs I have, and then towards my shaw cool. You can
see that there's a you know, suul along with all of these these kids
are being kind of pulled out. They're being moved into this kind of back
section that looks to be opening up into some kind of private docking bay or
at least tunnel system that gets them Therejlyssa waves at you from afar and she
says you can see her. She doesn't yell at but you can see her
mouth move, and she says, I love you. Do you tell how?
U replies out loud, I love you too, she says, run
you idiot, And then I I actually turn to to Alia and I say,
you know, I know that you would rather help people than do what
we're about to do, which is hopefully help people, but in a completely
different way. You don't have to come with us. I mean, you
are obviously always welcome here, but I know that this is a task,
isn't really you. I really appreciate that, Captain. I just whether I'm
here or not, I'm not sure I would be much helped. Really,
I feel like they already have everything under control, or at least the best
that they could, and honest to God, honest to the icons, at
this point, I'd rather be with the family, and I want to be
with you. All of you be helpful. That would be fantastic, But
that'd be constantly helpful, whether you realize it or not. And I send
that to everyone else at looking around, at meeting each of my crewmembers eyes.
If you don't want to come do this, then don't. I'm with
you, Captain till the end, shall we? And I think I'll at
that point kind of heads towards the ship. Yeah, I'll turn it heads
towards the ship, kind of afraid to look behind me and see if everybody
else joins us? Do does everybody else join you? Yeah? We never
stopped doing them. Yeah yeah, great, keep going. Uh you all
begin to run, and amongst all of the chaos, uh, you know,
women, children crying, women kind of uh screaming orders, and you
hear a voice rise up there was like, were you gonna leave me?
Now? Come on, lamar? She said, like the far into the
space. And you cause see she's carrying the helmet and she's very clearly a
smidge week but she's not like stumbling over herself, and she's like leaning on
a doorway. This like what the I'll go over and and like pull her
arm over me and and help her. She goes, you weren't leaving me,
right, You're gonna go back for me? Yeah? Three days on
it. They may have pulled her out early. You don't know. In
fact, I have darkness points to spend. I just kind of shrug and
look at a leak like it had three days on it. You know what
I'm going to spend the darkness point. They did, in fact have to
rip her out of the helmet early. Oh god, that's not great.
Well then I'm going to help Lamara to the ship. Yeah, Malik grabs
the other arm, maybe she hands the helmet off it t mir or Alia
whoever takes it, and you all begin kind of running. Now you're going
to go back through the same way you came in. This is not the
way that they're routing the mass of people. And as you kind of hit
the cellar, that emptiness sets in again. As you exit through the stacks,
these barricades in place, dry bloodstain all over steel and metal. And
are you moving within level of how are you getting there? How would you
like to get there with a lot of stealth or would you prefer to just
be lying for your ship as stealthy as possible, but also ready to be
ambushed. In fact, I think when we get to this point, I'm
going to kind of duck out of Lamar's arm so that I can be free
for any combat that arises. Yeah, and she's not really, like I
said, she's not that weak, but it is nice for somebody to kind
of be helping her. She's more in a little bit of a daze.
We'll say, it's like more like a haze and less like a physical ailment.
But she leans a little bit heavier on the perfect the perfect job for
ma leak. Yeah, exactly. She loves it, you know. She
swims a smage as it all goes down, and you take point, I'm
gonna need some rolls from the group. In fact, why don't Since you're
going first, you would be the one to like set off stealth, So
why don't you roll for that towel for the group? Do? You always
describe scenes on Lamara and it paints a picture in my head of the most
comical shit ever, And like, I just I just see like Malik has
like one of her arms over him right like carrying, and she looks up
and everything has that like rose tinted and like it's soft edges right like the
like oh my god, my friend's anime. And then it cuts back to
Malik and it is like, yes, that's basically uh Lamara's existence, you
know, So I infiltration, So we're just gonna roll agility, great,
Yeah, yep, go for it. So that's okay. It's hard to
move the stealth in this place around in the open, and the fact of
the matter is your ship is on an open dock, so you move along
rather quickly you're not sure if anybody spots you. You don't see anyone.
How about that in your immediate vicinity, you can see that all the caution
lights are like on and on the running boards right, and they're like flashing,
though there's no like direct alarm going off. If any of you stop
to check a map or like a terminal, you can see that there are
sections of the Coriolis that have now been blocked off, like the vessel has
like doors have come down to air tight seal. Because there's now a massive
leak on one edge of it. It does seem like it was attacked in
some way. But you make it to the docks and as you get there
you can see immediately guns come up as Tony and his crew are holding down
the opposite side of the barricade. It's just us, Tony, just us.
He goes, what are you doing? Move? Yeah, we got
We've got to get to our ship. He points. The ship is still
there. Though you can actually see now because the cellar is it's not like
open air. Obviously there's a it's it's it's got to be air type for
you to be able to even walk in here. But you can see through
the kind of blueish shield that it uses to to create that air tight system.
On the outside, there are vessels like zooming about. They have not
hit the cellar or the this docking system proper, but there seems to be
activity on the outside, and he goes quick, quick, quick, Yeah,
so we'll run to the ship. Uh, quickly as possible. Yeah.
You begin getting everybody in, and just as you hit the gangway,
the first kind of laser shot comes out of the doorway that goes deeper back
into Coriolis from the way that you came. Uh. And two drone drones
like huff Ring drones, they're kind of large, come through the door and
begin firing across barricades at Tony and his crew, and they begin a firefight.
I'm a single minded get my crew on the board, start of the
ship. We got to get down to Kua great. Uh. Yeah,
before though, you said that Sue provided us some stuff. Yeah, you
have like an open box of gear. Can I have a grenade to help
assist Tony. I can't leave like that, you know what, in lieu
of Seouel, because Seoul would have given you a grenade. We have a
we have a deep history on this show have a history of grenades here and
and because it is such a beautiful storytelling moment. In fact, right there
on top is a single grenade perfect. I would like to take it and
just kind of like lob it over there and look look over to Tony and
just be like wait for it to like it just run off. Okay,
So I need you to, uh, you're gonna make the throat to see
how good it is because you are throwing it over their heads. So I'm
going to get a ranged combat attack from from No, no, you're not.
You're just gonna get I have two dice. I have two dice.
Two dice is well two dice. Oh my god, oh my god,
holy ship. Okay, okay, grit, but I rolled a max.
So you're gonna do what what you wanted to accomplish. And you you you
all watches t mirror stops running, grabs a grenade, flicks the pin out
of it, and lobs it perfect. It goes over Tony's head as he
goes THULLI and Tony turns. They all guns in the air. Watch it
fly slow motion over their head as it lands between the two drones right on
the floor, and as it does it. Tony and his crew take cover
from behind the barrier. What a beautiful moment. You don't know if the
drones are done, but you know you definitely did a lot of damage.
As the door to the Defiant closes up and you're all on board, and
as you all rush into the main area, standing before you is a person,
a figure. I'm going to play another darkness point to play a card,
the last remaining card on the board, which is the Technician that is
given to us by the machine deck that I made up because it doesn't exist.
And none of you know this figure. Actually, Malik, you might
know that figure, but the rest of you, I've never seen this figure
before. A humanoid maybe female pulls back a dark kind of thick hood,
and as they do, you can see the lower half of their draw is
almost entirely mechanical, as if it has been removed and replaced behind the eyes
and along the next stem more tech and wires. Two bit actually stands in
front of you. Of course, Tamir being the only person to actually truly
recognize who this is. What are you doing here? You're supposed to be
on sabbatical. My time is up. I have been sent as the machines
emissary conversation in the cockpit, everything's on fire. Oh you know what I
read the wrong? Okay, come on, let's go. I guess okay,
Uh two bit simply they don't move. They just watch you all do
whatever it is you're going to do. What would you all like to do?
Oh, I'm turning on the uh what's it called ship? And okay,
yeah, that's the thing that we're on the time. There's like no
conversation as everybody rushes in, you know, Malik's like chop chop. Everybody
kind of scatters to their places, whether that's a seat or the cockpit towel
begins flipping all of the switches in the order they need to be flipped.
It powers up. I'm going to need a check from you, a piloting
check, okay, and that has as hold on double checking all my all
my things. Uhlu plus one for a blessed ship. Uh Do I get
a plus two for the anti matter robots maneuver for the maneuverability, Yes,
because this is about escaping, not shooting at the moment, okay, And
I also turn on uh the stealth technology to try to see Okay, if
I can kind of sneak in under all of the rest of the habit going
on outside, I am going to take the chaos to my advantage. I've
been in firefights before. I'll give you that. That makes a lot of
sense. So again, Uh you do do as you flip it on.
This kind of shield technology that like reflects what's around it back right to kind
of create the illusion of stealth technology. Uh passes over the ship and uh
you boot it up. Let's get your piloting check this Dell technology won't add
anything yet. Yeah, I if I correct, I count in correct you
that's a plus three total? Correct? Okay? Oh man, really good?
Okay, yeah, y'all are all This is so beautiful. So the
ship beautifully departs, and as it goes to take off, you can see
that the oculus that opens up to like let you out begins the trajectory to
do so and overcolms. Uh you hear, Tony, But I do what's
a favor on your way out, blow up the main battery for the gate.
That way nobody gets in out. You got it, Tony, And
of course you're takta fire once again in the background. He can't he can't
sign He can't sign off without saying I love you, Kamia. Oh win
out. That's a little fast right firing down in the could we could die
like now? Uh, I'm pretty sured you proposed to him first. Anyways.
Uh my question to uh dot as GM is I know my crew,
and I know the strength and weaknesses, and I also know my ship.
Who who would be best to send to do the blow up? A bit?
I will allow you all to tell me who has in this case the
highest it will be a ranged combat attack, So whoever has the next highest
range comp that is that a specific thing? I don't remember. It's going
It's going to be the Malik. Yeah, it would be Malik. I
mean two bid is Also, technically I have a six total. That's actually
pretty high. That's really good. Yeah, I think. Let me just
chick, I have a seven. So I mean, really, you're I'm
just a technician a space by listen, Malik was a criminal. He was
a criminal. It's true, Malik. You you basically hear the call,
TOW puts it out on the commns and uh you go and take the gunner
position. The oculus finishes opening up and as you pass through the other side,
Tow maybe slows just a little bit to allow you to take the shot.
The setup is perfect, so uh, you can take a plus one
basically with her help from that critical success. Yeah, so I imagine it's
kind of like you like kind of spin in space. That's all you needed
was a single success and you turn in. The battery kind of sits there
on the edge of this steel wall before the kind of a barrier begins where
the oculus opens up and it kind of explodes in silence into space, and
you can see that the oculus goes from blue to red the kind of wall
does, and it is impenetrable at this point as it kind of reseals itself
shut, nobody can come in or out. And just on the other side,
you still see the light beams of kind of laser fire on the docks.
As we continue on, I'm going to essentially make straight for Kua,
going for little our goal as sneakily as possible. But great, it's not
hard because as you pull out and spin it back around, you can see
that there's a firefight happening in space between the homogeny and a bunch of the
white butterfly vessels perfect you with your stealth technology. They are not focused on
you. They don't even know the in fact that you are there as you
pass through. It's a brilliant piloting check, and you pass through basically underneath
the battle undetected. As you head towards the surface. From up here,
you can actually see Kua below you because the monolith actually juts above the cloud
line, just the kind of point of it, and from the ground you
can see there are some lights going off as if there are small explosions near
the base of the monolith. But right now it seems like heavy cloud coverage
over the swamp area, so you're unable to see a lot of the cities
from this high up. As you begin to make your descent, it will
be about ten minutes. At some point Malik has come back to the cockpit,
strapped back into the comm's office receipt. I think your entire time,
Malia is specifically either I think, mostly in the temple or coming out and
once things have settled in making tea for everybody just to calm people's nerves well,
joining you in the mess hall. Like once all of this happens,
and two Bit walks in and sits down in the main mess hall, does
not initiate conversation, sits rather stoically, but sits there nonetheless as you make
tea while all of this goes down with the like shooting and the oculus and
pulling out into space battle. Yeah, hey, that's perfect, I think.
As things are going around, she comes up, and she said a
little apprehensive, she kind of alias looking at two bit and just not exactly
sure what to do because she's on a different path of a mystic than she
is. But then finally she sits down in front of her and hands her
would you like some tea? Thank you? My body does not require normal
sustenance. Oh perhaps for just the taste, but if not, I understand
her whole bottom jaw is steel. Yeah, so like you don't even know
if she can swallow it like you just in the whole bottom jaw is steal.
And there's not really a smile per se, but you can see that
one of the eyes is still very human and kind of looks at you with
a bit of shared empathy. She is also a mystic, so I think
I would reach out like when I first met or was it was it when
I first meant. I remember one time reaching out to tall and two mirror
with like just kind of like having a handshake using my mystic powers, kind
of like the hey, I know you, I see you kind of a
thing and kind of reaches out in that way. I'll just hold you want
this comforting. Oh, I'm glad. I'm glad at least that could could
help in that way. Could I ask why you were? Well? No,
first, a wrong approach. I'm sorry. It's wonderful to finally meet
you. I've been told much about you from Tamir and Uh and Tami was
supposed to keep my existence a secret. Wait, hold up? Did she?
I thought right? Italian? Was I mean Ali was told a little
bit about her? You were told you. I think that it has slowly
crept up that there's this two bit person, but nobody's ever, nobody can
ever to mirror his never mentioned cubit. You know about Ari? Oh not
know about I've heard Okay, sorry correction, I've heard much about you and
the the the legends or the myths just stories. Well, even if one
percent of those are through you, you are someone who's quite amazing. Thank
you, I think Okay, do not seek praise. I have a purpose,
of course, I just I've never heard of anybody who is taking this
path as you have. And I'm just, like guess, curious and excited
and just impressed. I did not start planning to be an emissary. Most
of us do not, I understand, and I meant more along your lines
of the path of mystic that you have taken. But I'm sorry, I'm
having a tough time conversing. It's been a while seeing any other mistake,
and you are referring to my augmentations. Yes, I've just always been told
that being a mystic meant being away from technology and not using it. At
least from what I understood, it is a very small definition of what it
means to be a mystic. Though I do have much to learn. I'm
still on the path and you're walking up with Chris. It's wonderful to have
you. Thank you for joining us. I think ill. Oh please.
You see her like press something on the edge of her nose, and the
interior of the nostril like flips it, like it lights up and changes,
and she takes a smell. Hmm. She kind of sits with herself as
she kind of this robot half I don't know what they are, they're half
cyborg. Really sits here and smells this this tea, though not able to
drink, and of course, well, if there's anything else I can provide,
I know, maybe perhaps food is not something, but anything I can
do to make you comfortable while you're here. I'm simply interested in arriving on
the surface in time, okay, And I was like struggling at this point,
going clearly, A'm failing miserably the social interaction. It's okay to but
it's not really a social I mean, that's not your fault, but I'll
do it is. She's like, damn, I'm failing miserable. Here.
You have a temple if you if you need to, if you would like
to pray or meditate and use that space, I can show you there if
you want. That would be nice, But I would like to wait to
meet the rest of the crew. I imagine there will be many many questions
and I have nothing to hear. A little clarity in this time would be
much appreciated, I'm sure, if I may ask, I've not had much
chance to really look into all of this, but becoming an emissary do you
do you know what the next steps are for us? What do we need
to do? I feel like we have an inkling or a sort of a
part. But there's no guide or rules or task list to give you enough
bad use to earn such a title. You're chosen by the icon. It
could be any follower. Okay, Well, then before everybody gets here,
perhaps I could seek your guidance on something else. And then is no time
like the present, or so I've been told. Yeah, that's fair.
Well, and then she reaches into her satchel and pulls out the orb and
sets it in front of two bits. There's a two bits head actually kind
of tips to the side. You hear kind of hydraulics in the neck kind
of give, and there's deep contemplation there. They're not words or ums or
even the sputter of a breath at the site of this thing. What is
it? It's a vesser for the gin, and inside of it is a
chune that we had to exercise from one of our crew members. And this
is where we ended up housing her gin. I've never come across the gin
in all my many years. This is the second one we've come across.
Apparently seems that you have a little way of drawing them in. Yes,
unfortunately, But now that we have it here, I don't know what to
do with it. It concerns me because the reach it has, the effect,
and the damage it has done to my family here, one of them
still having long lasting effects that digs into her soul, it feels, And
I don't know if I can reach in and break that bond finally and perhaps
put it to good use, or would it be better to just bury it
somewhere deep and pray no one will ever find it. Do you believe in
fate earlier? Well? I did, and now I feel like I've got
it more. Do you know when when the machine came to me and told
me my purpose? I understood that I questioned myself as well, my worthiness,
whether or not I was capable of handling such things. And then I
realized that is not my job. I must do with what I am given,
and trust in the universe will put me exactly where I'm supposed to be.
So you, Aliah, I've been visited by two gins in a single
lifetime and have been made purpose over this. I cannot tell you what to
do with it. It is your choice, your decision, and your responsibility.
H you see Alia look concerned for a bit, and then look at
her again, and just I was afraid of that. Fear will not serve
you, Alia, What do you fear my family being hurt and innocence being
cut through my inaction and my action not knowing that it is a very large
fear and in stilled by the unknown. The unknown is the darkness. It
is not your job is a mystic to carry it into the world. You
do not carry fear. You are a harbinger of hope and light. Weather
is none. We all are. So if you give it now to fear,
what is it that you are carrying into this battle? Hm? Hm
hm, You're right, Thank you. I feel I know what I must
do with it, but could I ask for your support if I try?
Why do you think that I am here if not to support your team's efforts.
If you don't mind, then I would like to get in touch with
the gym. I feel that we are as I understand it, missing one
emissary is still to make this plan work. And unless we somehow magically find
one, or they happen to come upon us like you have, we are
out of luck there, and perhaps a substitute could be used, one with
the mental power that can change their very form and carry out that purpose.
Perhaps, I guess we will see what decisions you make. Well before I
take this action, I definitely still would like to consult my crew, but
I feel this is you. This is the only path we have, at
least in one way. But if I do take that decision, could I
ask for you to be besides me and assist. I'm not sure I'm able
to handle this level of malice? What makes you think that the gin is
full of mouths? We tried to hurt. Its purpose from the start has
been too harm and use its powers to attack, at least from what I
understood. I'm not trying to imply that it is inherently evil, but that
has been its actions it has. You said, you told it from someone,
Yes, one of our crew members. And she still has effects lingering
in her from this. Yes, the doctor, Yes, her, Romara,
the doctor was affected long before there was a gin inside her. I
used to visit her when she was still on Coriolis. She did not know.
Most of the time, they kept her heavily drugned, so she would
write upon her walls prophecies, and we've seen that future visions. Do you
think she's then what is she doing? A mystic? Perhaps there are many
roles in this world. It is not simply always mystic, and not mystic.
Prophets have existed for decades, centuries. Even in fact, there are
thousands of prophecies written into crystal balls stored down on the planet. We are
going into prophecies. They may never be fulfilled because of the decisions of maybe
a single person or maybe thousands of people. Tomorrow is singly handed opportunity.
She is the prophet. You can see Alia visibly relaxed from hearing that,
Oh, thank god, you're right. I just with everything that we have
gone through and all the things we have seen, I just feel so much
that the darkness is at the hand of everything. But sometimes the answer is
much simpler. The darkness does not have a handle on anything. It seeks
to gain one we're not losing. Oh yeah, thank you. I needed
to hear this. Thank you about this time. And she puts the kind
of tea down, not having drank any of it. How you are on
basically a direct course. Where are you headed? Before I give the reins
over to the other half of their crew to see what you've been up to.
I am headed for uh A little Algal. I am going with the
intention of trying to find trying to connect with somebody that I've met before,
because I've made this trip a time or two. So we're just gonna all
right. Well, so you should all see the map in Roll twenty of
the monolith and the surrounding city. Little Algol sits on a delta that pours
in from these swamps. And as you grow ever closer you can see it
is storming. It is this is very wet place. It's storming and the
clouds are thick. But you are gonna you still have some time, right
like once you set the course you had you had ten minutes. So well,
Alia and two bit have this this moment over tea. What do the
three of you do? Probably? Oh, go ahead. Malik Malik has
set all of the calm stuff to like auto and he is ironically like mother
henning over Uh over Lamara, like he has her in the med bay Uh
and he's trying to get her to sit down like a toddler in the chair,
and he's like looking for things and ignoring her telling him where they are
as he's trying to get her like back down, because he definitely remembered she
had like three days left on that helmet thing, and he doesn't know how
the helmet works. Yeah, that's actually super duper true. How do I
want to do this? You know what? I got darkness to spend.
I'm gonna spend another darkness to say. Uh, Lamara is gonna roll on
the mind meme table. Whoop three? You have to go to another book,
y'all. I'm so sorry? Is that right? One? So many
books? Uh, let's see my memes will be back half. Yeah.
She kind of putters about and you can see she's up and moving so physically
she seems like she's all right. She seems a little uh like I said,
spacey. You can see that she kind of goes around and fixes some
stuff and acts like she's gonna do something and then lose his interest in it
and then goes to something else. As soon as you set her down,
she's up again. It's like trying to get a kid at the doctor's office
and sit still long enough to like draw blood. You know what I mean?
Yes, I know exactly where you are. Oh my god, this
is the third This will be the second time she's gone through this. Okay,
our chactor, she's a broke she's been broken for a long time.
Just he'ps getting more broken. Okay. She she doesn't smile or talk.
She just kind of walks around in this melancholic state. And then she goes
over to a cabinet and tries to pull on it, and it's locked.
And there's a moment where she thinks about where the key is and goes over
to the drawer and grabs it and unlocks it and looks in and it's empty.
She doesn't move. She freezes as she looks into this empty filing cabinet
drawer where something clearly used to be m Did Malik, see Alia take that
out of there? It was with you when you took that out, Alia,
It was it was, it was, it was. It was when
she was when under the helmet, So you would have been there when he
when she grabbed it. Did Sorry, I got distracted. What did I
take out when Ali pulled up the orb? The orb came and Malik was
there with you? Yeah, because it was when she was under the helmet.
Yeah, yeah, So I think, well, I think I even
specifically showed it to Malik. Yeah, yes, that that was there and
that so Alia then took it with her At that point, Uh so Malik
sees her go in that cabinet and playing stupid. He says, what what
are you looking for? I guess nothing. It's not there anymore. There's
no point. What was it? What was it? Was it? It
was important to me. What was it? It was perfect and scary and
mine. It was mine? Yep, yeah, But what was it?
Though? Maybe maybe it like fell out that we did get attacked while you
were in the helmet? Did it break? I don't know what it was.
You didn't tell me what it is. Yet you didn't break it,
did you. I don't know what it is. There's not even a point
anymore. She stands up and goes over to the wall and just puts her
head against it. If you tell me what it looks like, I can
help you find its shiny and dark and beautiful at the same time. Okay,
okay, I need like adjectives and like what is it like? Is
it round? Is it like you have seen it? Is it small?
Is it? Where is it? How big is it? You say?
When you saw it? Did you see it. I don't know what it
is. You're not actually saying any nouns. I have to go find it,
Okay, I'll just follow you and be surprised when I see it.
And she like opens the door and begins kind of monotonously like walking, hands
by her side, very not Lamara, no pep in the step. The
ponytail hangs perfectly. It doesn't even bob about, and she walks very slowly
kind of towards the mess hall. And she she looks as if she's looking
for it, but she doesn't have the the strength of the wherewithal to actually
search for it. You know, how or what are you doing? While
Malik follows Lamara, I'm flying the craft. You can put it on autopilot
if you would like. You are basically stealth under. Nobody has detected you.
But that's up that is up to town. We're a little on edge
right now. Autopilot's not going to cut it all right. What about Tamir?
Yeah, I think Tameir's literally just doing his job, like he wants
to talk to tubit, but like they have ten minutes to prep for this
mission. You have, you had the crate right of stuff in the crate.
You have a few things. It would not be surprised that there are
in fact five spider suits, one for each of you. There are that
that will help you climb. There are some other things like grappling, cook
guns, not five more grenades. Most of this looks like climbing equipment and
climbing gear. Most of it. There's like a piece that goes on your
back that has like a a wire right that'll come out, So you have
kind of a couple like things. You can all wear those sticky things you
like, turn and release and can climb up glass and stuff like that.
A box full of climbing gear. We're going to need to get everybody to
suit up. This will likely be helpful. And he holds up there's skin
tight suit. Displeased. Look, they're more comfortable than they look. Uh,
and right there in town, we'll just start suiting up. Yepp.
I mean you can wear it like technically over your clothes if you want to.
It'll be a little, you know, a bunchy in a few places,
but once you get it on, it kind of like seals to your
body, right, so it'll press a lot of your clothing down. So
yeah, can do that helped Mirraget in his h So you're doing okay,
Yeah, yeah, I'm fine. What about you? I'm very nervous.
I can see that. Is there anything I could do? Anything else you
need? I don't. I don't know. Like looking down around the base
of the monolith, it looked like there was fighting and stuff. So who
the heck knows what we're gonna find when we get down there. It's not
going to matter what we find, it's you able to get the least people
away from the monolith and getting us inside. I'd like to get inside first,
though. If we get people away from it, then it's going to
be easier to get through that bank scene. Though with like leaving Coriolis,
if we have the confusion of everything else around us, then it makes it
a lot easier not to see people climbing up the side of the monolith.
They're going to be worried about getting their people away from the monolith, at
least, I would hope. So I'm oof. I hope so too.
When are we do we should we evacuate first or after? I guess it's
going to take a while to evacuate the models as many people as we can
get them. As soon as possible. I don't see why we can't just
have Malik fake some sort of direct attack, like the equivalent of a nuclear
bomb attack directed at the monolith. I mean, I guess it could do
that. He's probably not doing anything useful right now anyways, likely bolder,
you see what I do with? Uh? Did you know Tubit was going
to be here? No? I did not. I never thought I would
see tub It again. To be honest, she was supposed to be hidden.
I'm safe, able to live a life for once. But she says
she's an emissary. I could see that she radiates with power. I hear
it every time that I've ever been near her. It sings in my head.
Well better her than you? Yeah, okay with this. You know,
for about thirteen or fourteen hours, I was almost completely convinced that you
were the emissary. Well, thank you for having faith in me. But
I am the amissary. I mean, you're like half machine by now right?
Wait? Wait, wait that half what? I'm pretty sure that your
body was reassembled far much more in those medical records than nine were. I
just have a couple of extra wires. They're all in your head too,
all right. Well, I'm really really glad that you're not the emissary,
though it it felt a little weird. Aren't they supposed to be like religious
or something like super pious. I think there's this assumption that priests and mystics
are anybody who holds a certain level of faith in the icons, that they
are supposed to live a certain way. But according to the machine we pilot
our own ships, there is no right or wrong way to worship or follow
a practice a belief. It's in our hands. The icons are rarely to
blame. We make choices, as we've made choices time after time after time,
and we're here now because of a choice that we made. Would you
change anything you've decided so far? Given the chance, of course, there's
like this boyish smirk on his face for a second, is it kind of
like sheepishly looks down and he takes Chile's hands into his I would have been
braver, I told her how I felt much in there. Well, okay,
that's acceptable. Do you want to meet to bit? I really I'm
very nervous about getting too far away from this specific spot right here. We're
like standing in the cockpit still like only a few steps away from from my
seat because tal won't go any further. Yeah, so like if you want
to bring them in here, that'd be cool, or like, you know,
we can talk later. We're kind of in the middle stuff. Tube
is here. I'm sure she has information that we are going to desperately need
Tubid. Only she ever, it appears when she intends to appear, No
matter how hard or wide I searched for her, she comes when she wants
to. I can summon everybody, but you are the captain. We have
comms just in case you forgot Yeah, but like I think Amasaria outranks Captain.
This is your ship, Captain, Talia Tuma bringing out the full name.
Oh, go ahead, be the captain that you've already been. Hey,
two Bit, we're gonna land in a minute, but could you come
here and please? Doubt comes over the comms as Lumara and Malik walk in.
Malik following Lumara. She seems a little out of it. Alia as
two Bit puts the cuplick down on the table and you all hear at the
same time, tawcome over the intercommon. Two Bit looks taking in Lamara,
taking in Malik stands leaves the tea behind and walks towards cockpit. Alia follows,
and she has she's already at that point put the or back in the
pouch and sung over the side. Uh. Malik takes in two bit at
the same time, and I think, like the realization, Like he like
looks at her and like his head cocks the side a little bit because she
didn't have a metal face when he saw her. Uh, and he like
h And then he takes like a half step back from Lamara and just looks
to Alia and goes ma. Alia looks at it, and she looks at
him confused for a second, and Lamara goes, have you seen it?
I've lost something? Have you seen ask? Who's she asking? Straight to
Alia? Oh? Maybe even it's more like the general like I've lost something
I could And she kind of looks at like looks a little confused for a
second and concerned. He goes, what did you lose? It's very beautiful
and important to me. Oh, my dear, I think it caused you
horten and it must have been must lost. I'm going to find it.
Would you help me find it? I'll help you find what you need,
My dear, I'm going to keep looking. Tu Bit kind of continues walking,
and you see Lamar begins again, kind of daisily searching the space.
She's still in the cockpit. Uh no, this is the mess hall too.
It is walking towards the cockpit to talent a mirror. Oh okay,
okay. I think She looks at the cockpit and then looks back at Lamara
and then walks up to her, and he goes, I'll have you look
for whatever you've lost, but for now, perhaps we can use this time
to focus on other things. We have some very pressing things to come,
and if we don't take care of it, we won't have the opportunity.
What's the point? Are we not enough? Isn't Melik enough? She looks
at Malik and then back at you. I guess just seems all very pointless,
doesn't it. Not with you here, not with seeing this family that
we have. Is that not worth fighting for what's left when it's all done?
I mean, it's just better to die. And she kind of walks
off Alia like pulls her into a hug and keeps her there. I will
do whatever it takes to get you what you lost. She doesn't hug you
back. Yeah. She doesn't hug you back, She just kind of stands
there. Can you hold on to that hope until then? Do you trust
me? I guess how about this Go to the cockpit, be with the
rest of them. They'll be here for you. Okay, yes, maybe
I lost it in the cockpit. Maybe you have. And she kind of
begins to slowly walk away. You are left staring at the leak. The
chin has had too much of a hold on her. I cannot let this
continue. She needed to be under that healing helmet whatever it is longer,
but it's clear that it has not completely healed her. Yeah, it had
like three days left. You got to figure out that crystal ball thing.
I intend to And you see for the first time, not first time,
but like there's a change in her demeanor. Up till now she felt uncertain
and not sure what to do next. But after seeing Lamara, I'm sorry
Lamara the way she is. You see this level of determination come across her
face and she goes take care of her and of that. Okay, I'm
sure they need you in the cockpit. I have something I need to take
care of. Yeah, yeah, yeah, I got it, And he
follows instead of going to the cockpit, Alio goes to the temple with the
the orb Yeah, and we part for a second as we head back to
the cockpit, and two Bit arrives first very promptly by Lamara, who immediately
arrives and goes, have you seen it? I've lost something? What is
it? It's it's very important to me. It's about this big yes,
okay, what shape is it? Or okay, okay? Or what what's
in it? Something beautiful and scary and powerful and mine, I know what
we put the thing in right, you know, you know, Alia has
it, which, of course is the next person. No, I'm so
sorry it's not arrived. The next person to arrive is Malik. No Alia,
but you know Alia has it. Yeah, you know what, I'm
I'm sure it's safe somewhere. It's it's gotta be somewhere. It's it's fine.
Yes, Well, well, you know what, though, we're in
the middle of a really, really important mission and and if we succeed on
the mission, then we're gonna save a bunch of people. And also I'll
help you look for the thing that you lost, Okay, I guess.
She kind of turns around and like leans on the wall in this melancholic way
and stares off into the distance tube. It kind of looks at her.
Uh, there's no expression that changes, just like takes Lamara in as elite
kind of arrives. But two Bit stands in kind of the doorway of the
cockpit upon your command him, I'm tal yes to you are a captain of
this ses sol, I am two bid. It's nice to eat you.
I've heard a vague thing or two about you at one point, so it's
nice to have a more clear picture of you. I hope it is satisfied.
Yeah, sorry, I I don't exactly know what uh we're doing here,
aside from doing everything we can to get from where we're gonna land and
hopefully in the local to where uh to me or where? Where's that map
that you have of the monolith? We need to get you into the monolith,
but I I don't know what we're gonna encounter between the two places.
Do you have any idea? What do you know of the monolith? We
know it's a weapon. We know that well, a weapon is a word
for many things that can be used against something else. It seems that you
have been misinformed parted with is not a weapon. It is a shield many
generations ago, long before any of the humans, ships arrived, created by
the Icons to keep the darkness at bay. I imagine that a shield can
be used as a weapon that is not his intended purpose. The first Horizon
has come to turn them on in their own way. Can you not hear
it? As we get closer, Casson, you can roll a mysticability check
right now, those that can to see if you can hear what she is
talking about. I got it too. Hey, you don't hear it at
first, Tamir, but when Tubit tells you to kind of like listen,
you actually do think that you hear something. The song of the monolith,
this ringing. You've heard it before. You heard it around the emissary the
time that they died, and the swamps, the Soltra swamps which you are
about to pass over. You heard it once before on the other side of
the galaxy, once in a vision, this song that rings out, And
now you know that it has been coming from the monolith, and it's not
just singing, it's calling. Now that you can hear it, you feel
this draw, this want to come to the monolith. And two bit simply
continues, you do hear it? The song? It pulls at the mystics,
trying everyone to the monolith. The first Horizon is not interested in us
having a shield. They're interested in tearing them down. I have been sitting
by the machine to turn this monolith on. We have also been sent with
a message. The machine is a calculating and wise icon, often devoid of
empathy, but not entirely every icon. Everyone as an emissary that walks this
plane. When I am gone, would like it to be to Meir,
But the choice is yours. So I come bearing information and an offering.
The other emissaries have chosen their replacements. We will each parish you. You
were supposed to right off into the sunset and live a life. I am.
This is the life chosen for it was not thrust apart me. I
am in no way forced. I too, was offered the same as Tomir.
I said, yes, I could go right away like every other machine
in this galaxy, or I can be much more. This is my purpose.
This is why I'm here to turn on the monolith. You can help
me or not, but once we land, this is where I'm going.
Of course, they will help. We were very much misunformed. Though this
was to be a weapon pointed at Coriolis. It is pointed at Coriolis because
that is where they built it. I do not know what happens when it
is turned on. It has not been turned on in any amount of time
that our species has lived here. It has turned on to the darkest of
moments, and the darkness is riding the wake of the first horizoned vessels.
They thought by destroying the emissaries they would stop us from turning them on.
Sa Mere turns to Thal captain. There are very few people in this universe
that I trust. I don't believe that we should be destroying the monolith is
intended. If Tubad says we are to turn it on, we are to
turn it on. You act like I need more persuasion. Of course we're
gonna turn it the fuck on. Look, I'm trying to help people.
We were just misinformed, and we will help you to it. But what
can we do? What do you need? We have supplies, we have
blueprints, we have a plan to get to inside the monolith. This must
be the reason why she sent me to you. I need to get inside,
which will be difficult. Rumor has it that the streets nearest the monolith,
the Covenant City itself, is currently flood in by mystics, some in
their right mind and some not, all being drawn towards the monolith. It
has caused disruption, civil unrest. The homogyny fights back, concerned that they
will lose their dear home. We want to evacuum. Sorry, if anyone
can get through a crowd, it's to mirror. It will be difficult,
and I imagine that the First Horizon will attempt to stop this at whole costs,
and we will get you to the monolith at all costs, as we've
already decided long ago. Is this all of us tup? It kind of
looks around and sees that Alia is in fact missing. Where is Alia?
Camera cut? She's gonna do a thing. Camera cut to Alia in this
circular chapel, small but very comforting and welcoming, pillows on the floor,
drapes where there can be Alia. Tell me what is it that you are
doing here? You're mean there? Yeah. Seeing the level of desperation that
Lamara is in and the fact that this orb has been it's clear to her
that this has been put off way too long at this point that it's it's
just something she has to do now. She has to break this hold that
the gin has on whatever it is or however it is happening on Lamara and
finally basically face or fear as as Tupid had said, not carry it into
into the world. And before she does, though, she's going to pray
to the Lady of tears. Okay, are you setting a blessing for yourself?
Is at the goal to at a plus one? Yeah, she's praying
for success. Can you see her closer eyes? And then she goes,
my lady, if you're hearing my words right now, I desperately need your
help and guidance. We are at a precipice and there is great turmoil here
that we must get through, and this in front of me is one of
the major causes. It is a tormal for me as well, and a
fear that I hope to overcome with your with your blessing. You wait in
silence, and you can smell as you as you kind of put this blessing
out, and there's incense in the air, and the orbsits in front of
you in a quaint voice. Maybe it's a song at first, and it
almost radios in tunes in and the Lady of the Tears. You can feel
a hand that is not there as it brushes your cheek. She says,
Alia. Remember demons are bound by laws. Their existence in this place has
structure in a way that your faith does not. Do not fear, my
child, Thank you. And then she leans forward and concentrates, and like
she grabs onto the ball. And then okay, I'm gonna need a bistic
bill check to see if you actually managed to connect. Oh gosh, okay,
okay, come on, baby hoops one two three, Oh, come
on, come on. You try to connect to this ball, and you
can feel it almost the way that those like I always there. There's like
electricity balls where you put your hands on a minute kind of touches the edge
where your fingers touched. It does this, but not with electricity, with
the black smoke kind of on the inside. As it tries to make contact
with you, and you try and you try, but to no success.
It's you're not sure if the ginn doesn't want to communicate with you, or
if the vessel is simply too strong. I'm darkness point dot. Okay,
ah, come on, baby, come on, give it to me,
Okay, I'll take it. Okay, a success. As you begin to
connect, you can feel your mind being drawn from this place. Waitquock,
question with the blessing I've had helped in the first ability, how did that
have worked? Yeah, that's uh, you're right, you would have.
You could have added a plus one to that if you didn't in the role,
So that would have been a one, a limited success. So we
don't have to spend that darkness point, which is fine because I'm going to
spend a darkness point because that was, in fact a limited success. Okay.
You do begin to connect with that, and you can feel yourself being
drawn and you've been you kind of went through a similar process when you attempted
the exorcism from Lamar as you remember finding her in this box and going through
this kind of process for being lost in this space. And as you begin
to get drawn in, I think, I'm just going to spend both corruption
bars. I have made mistakes, I regret everything, pull me out.
I'm going to spend both corruption bars from tonight. You can feel it,
and it's a strong connection. You did it, You did it, and
it begins to crack the ball. Glass shatters across the space, and there's
a moment as it rains to the ground like deathly rain. This black spiral
of clouded smoke that was touching your hands shoots up in front of you and
takes form your form. You stare at yourself standing tall above you, looking
down at you. You can see the eyes jet black as how you know
it is not yourself, but the gin has freed itself from this ball.
You see Alio taking aback, and then quickly she remembers Tubit's words and she
recomposes herself and then looks at the gin. It's been a while. Hello,
ah, my freer, my liberator, what was your name again?
Let's keep this a little bit more business than casual, perhaps, all right,
what is it you wish, Liberator? I wish no, no,
no. Before we get to that point. Why are you still holding on
to Themara? What do you mean the previous vessel? I have no hold
on Limara. She was a very efficient vessel. She'd break down like other
ones tend to. But I have not done anything to her, if I
remember correctly, Liberator, you ripped me free of that vessel, shoved me
in another one without completing your first wish. Well, I was symature and
not so knowledgeable, and it wasn't time and now, well, that depends
on the answer that you give. Why is she still earning, yearning for
you? She seeks you out as if though it needs she needs you.
Oh, she liked it. I fain inside you comes with a fair share
of benefits. Oh yeah, ower charisma hm hm I guess maybe a little
self esteem doctor needed it. She was frail and strange. Hm. She
felt good. She misses me, Yeah, simple as that. But if
you want me to let hold of her, I can't do that for you
because I don't have any hold upon her. Can I tell if she's you
can role a mer manipulation check which I have zero? Okay, I'll take
it, Okay, single success. She does not seem like she is lying
to you. She seems actually like she's she's kind of enjoying the fact that
you're actually giving her information that she didn't know that she does not have any
kind of hold, But she does say, you know, if you're really
that concerned about it, you can always just wish me to let go over
tomorrow. Sure that I have no hold on her? Right if you don't
trust me and all that, Why did I think you already gave me the
answer I need? So I feel like we could get past that. She
will learn to live without you. And what now do you wish this universe
to continue to exist? I guess I imagine if it doesn't, I'll just
go back to the one that I came from started all over again. If
you think this is my first time planet side, well you underestimate me.
Alia, No, I know the capabilities that you have, and what do
you hope for? I can also assure you that in this next crucial moments
that we have, if we do not act for our best interests and work
together mutually, you will never have another chance to come back here because there
will be nothing to come back to. The first horizon is coming. It
is here, and it is seeking to destroy everything. Are you trying to
convince me to fight in your little war? In an essence? Then wish
it? Because here's the thing, Elia, I don't have to do anything
until you make a wish. I can't do anything. So we can stand
here and stare at each other. I mean you are beautiful, yes,
well, you know occasionally I find a form I like more than my first
one, and I'm flattered. How about this? We need amissaries and we're
missing one. We have no choice and no chance. Can you want me
to become an immissary? Interesting? Now that was a question, but not
a wish, Aliyah. It depends if you can answer it truthfully. They
will decide whether I can wish it or not. So you feel like my
answer will not be satisfactory to you because you're looking for one of those the
word solution. I can do a fat share of many things. The wish
often provides me the extra to get the job done. That's how this works.
Hm, hm, y'all do you always spend some more corruption, some
more darkness points? I mean, it is the gin that we have been
waiting on. So I think I'm just gonna scratch anther dnnness point. And
it's about this time you see her head kind of turn towards the wall and
tip a little bit, as if she hears or feels something, and she
says, who else is here? Well, this is a ship, so
therefore it has a crew. No, And from the behind, like one
of the draped pieces of fabric, steps a child. You. She turns
with squinted eyes and looks at you, and she says, what have you
done? I didn't know it was here. She looks at this child.
He smiles, and he looks at you, and he his high sister can
I And he looks at you with such hope in his eyes that today maybe
the day. Oh oh, And she goes, Alia, make you wish.
You have to make your wishn't make you wish. I just want to
say that when you try to molik and go off the rails and not tell
anyone your plan, you have to succeed. That's how you don't get yelled
at. Perfect. This is so perfect. Oh God, She goes,
do it now, Alia, make the wish you have to. It's the
only way I look at I look at the beer, and I look at
her and goes, if you wish to survive, and if you wish to
go with your way, I need you to give me all your information first.
Tell me how we can save this saved the first horizon, save everybody
in here the best we can. What know? You offer me a wish
aliah, one that I have offered you, one that you can take whatever
you want. This wish that you can provide. I don't know if you
can fulfill this. You haven't given me no information that I can go off,
that I can trust you that you can accomplish what I need. Alia,
I am a demon. If you think that wishes don't come with consequences,
any actions don't come with consequences, you are wrong. Now you can
take your wish, or I suggest that you leave this space, because only
one of us gets to walk out of heresh and Alia kind of praise once
again to the Lady of tears and looks at her, and he goes you.
I wish that you will do whatever it takes, even if it means
sacrificing yourself to save the people of this horizon, to save the people of
the Third Horizon, however long it takes, whatever you need, even if
it is meaning that you must be in the way, it means you become
an emissary. You hear baviergo no, as he kind of reaches out because
he can't consume her if she has to fulfill a wish again, they have
their own laws right, And she smiles this, You smile, this big
smile. You wish for me to do whatever it takes to save the people
of the Third Horizon. That includes the people of this ship, includes my
family, includes me, and you can't bring no harm to them. I
will bring no harm to them. Give me some time. This is a
very large wish. I will see you again, Liberator. And the black
smoke like it disappears when you turn around, the beer is gone. Can
you see Alio collapse on the ground. The camera cuts back to the cockpit.
This has all happened while you have all discussed, and two bit has
filled you in on things. Now you're coming into atmosphere and as you do,
you break through storm clouds with no problem. Your pielmining check was out
of this world, so I'm not even gonna make you make another win.
And as you come through, you can see the crowds of people on the
streets of the Covenant City around the base of the monolith. You can see
that there are guards surrounding the base of the monolith keeping people out. That
there are vessels that are like circling. They don't see you because you're self
technology, but like circling the monolith to keep any air activity away. And
you can see that parts of the city are burning. You don't know that
if it's from like large scale explosions. This doesn't look like a drop bombing.
This looks like small scale gorilla warfare on the streets of all kinds of
places. And as you fly over the monolith, you pass over to goal
and hanging basically a hard right. You can see the souldier swamps out to
your left, everybody through the dense rain, and you pass up and over
into little Owlgal to a field that you parked in once before nearby, and
the ship lands with absolute secrecy. I think it's their landing in Tamir is
like seeing all these people and having the new information about the mystics, and
knowing the mystics that are being called there a captain knowing what we know now,
I think we need to course correct. We don't need the people to
flee, We don't need them to get away. I think we need them
to come with us. They are a distraction. Oh, these distractions,
These are mystics. We are mystics. We have this son of alcohol with
us, and we carry an emissary in this vessel who best to protect us
to ensure that what we need to done will be done. Our own people
who hear this call something to consider. Yeah, sure, link do that
sons of alcohol thing. I don't know how you words and stuff. You
realize that, like wrote, I can't, So I'm not ready to make
a speech. I recently found out we were blowing stuff up. You made
this speech when we were at the banquet, the other words happening. I
don't even know what we're doing here. I'm just here for the ride.
At this point, the plans changed like six times. Oh yeah, that
way up the milk. Malik Okay, here's what's going on, and like
he quickly like reiterates, like we're turning it on, Tube, it is
turning on. I was standing here the whole time Tube was talking. You
didn't even notice. I walked in after Lamara, So you know exactly what's
going on. Why would you ask? Yeah? But like I barely know
it's a shield. Now, who's going to believe that that's not tangible?
You know, who's going to believe that when they hear this son of algos?
Stand up and ask the people who've been oppressed all this time? Are
they because the alco just got glassed? So who knows what my word stance
for? Well, there's only one way to find out. Who Who would
these people want to hurt more. Where would they find want to find justice?
And the person who's standing up against the oppressor or the oppressor we suffered
great miss justice and Algol and the people of Alcohol continue to suffer today.
But you, Malik, has struck a chord with these people and only none
of us could ever imagine. Yeah, I guess, man, if that's
what, if that's what needs to happen, then I'll figure it out.
Okay, there's no need for sarcasting. I said, I do it.
H I was being genuine. Who can tell I'm sorry? I said,
you take the compliment. I believe in you. Thanks Pop, Malik.
I'm sassy, so everybody must be sassy to me as well. You have
you watched the show, Well, you touched down as the you kind of
take in the surroundings. You can see out the front most of little Algol,
in terms of the docks and everything thereby, are barren. They are
not the same place that you left. You can tell there's been some fighting
here, but this is very far outside and if people are being drawn into
the city, you can imagine that a lot of the fighting is happening much
closer. And uh, I guess all of you take this moment in to
redirect your plans, as you have learned that this monolith is in fact a
shield to keep the darkness at bay, in fact a weapon, I guess,
unless used as one. And as the gangway opens up and all of
you probably suit up, we see you like, zip up suits and do
your thing. Are you taking the crawler into the city? What's the plan?
Do we have one? I mean, you'll definitely get there a lot
faster and you won't have to go straight through the streets if you take the
crawler. Yeah, but it's not very sneaky. It feels like it's a
great way to get people hurt and also garner a lot of tension when we're
trying to sneak up great, So probably not. So you'll probably go on
foot. Yeah, I think I think the general plan will be to approach
by foot and try to use the crowd of mystics either as cover or a
distraction on the opposite side, Okay, not sure which. Maybe a map
of Algol is pulled up so you can see, so just for all of
your knowledge, if you zooming kind of close, there is a field just
here on the backside of Little Alcohol with like trees and stuff that lead back
into our aura and then the Covenant city. That would be your fastest trajectory.
You have a few options. You could try to get a boat and
take the river all the way up into our aura where it ends. Here.
You can traverse this kind of wilderness swampy area in between. It's not
like a dense swamp, it's like low lying everglades, and try to come
in the backside of our area. Or you can just simply take the streets
and walk the streets all the way through. It will be a very long
journey on foot. It will probably take you seven or eight hours tape.
Okay, knowing that probably going to actually date the crawler, then you can
always take it and drop it, you know. Yeah, we'll start with
the crawler through the wilderness unt try to see if we can cut through until
we get close enough that we can hide it somewhere and hit the streets.
We probably see a little bit of a montage of everybody suit up, pop
into the crawler, taking your climbing gear and weapons with you. The back
hatch of the Defiant opens up and the crawler exits, hitting kind of soft
dirt. Malik you know, if you're gonna want to get a broadcast out
out here is not going to reach the Covenant City, You're gonna want to
get a little closer if that's really where you're trying to hit and where the
people are. But you would be able to broadcast from the crawler itself.
Imagine with your ability and that we see as tonight comes to a close,
the crawler kind of trail off into the swampy wooded area. As it cuts
across headed straight for Aura, Aura, You're gonna knock off about three or
four hours of travel on foot down to about an hour's worth of travel through
the wilderness. But we will have to pick up next week there as the
Crawler heads towards the Covenant City and the crew has a hopeful plan of maybe
actually turning the monolith on, not off. I think you mean the crew
hopefully has a plan. All right, friends, This was episode fifty overall
