Arise millions, and welcome to this Unmade Gaming production. Join the crew of
the Defiant as they journey through the Third Horizon at the Mercy of the Icons,
trying to understand just what's happening to the mystics in this Coriolist campaign.
Void, the show you're about to listen to, was originally a live stream
actual play on Twitch dot tv slash Onmade Gaming. Arise millions and welcome to
Unmade Gaming. We are here for another episode of Void where there are no
assassins and we're safely on Kua. We time skipped and everything's better now.
You can't tell me otherwise I can. Oh, yes, I can.
Yeah, I know. So. If you guys like we do here and
you want to support the channel, you can do so by going to check
us out on Patreon for all kinds of fun stus of background stuff. If
you want to support on Twitch, you can do so by hitting that subscribe
button down below and join us in our discord to converse about these games that
we play here. Links for that all down below, And if you look
at the bottom ray hand corner in about thirty seconds, you'll see a corruption
bar. That bar stars two purposes one is when that bar fills, DOT
gets to torture us, however she sees fit. And two, every single
dollar that goes into that bar goes to these wonderful, beautiful, amazing players
you see here before you. So, without further Ado, Dot, take
us to Kua Please like right to Kua. No other stops, none,
none, whatsoever. Please agree, Dot, you're muted, But I assume
you well, there is no stop between Coriolis and Kua um. And to
make a stop you have to have left Coriolis, which you have not.
I don't know what you're talking about. What if? What if we last
time on Coriolists shit, well lest some one Coriolis. They finished their investigation
on the emmissaries quarters here on Coriolis. What they learned was that the Emmissary
was definitely taken after some kind of firefight, and along with four take me
five four injured people took the Emmissary and injured soldiers or injured whoever out assassins
out through the ceiling. Tal, through some rather dexterous work and a mighty
showoff of her place as Captain, worked her way through the bowels of Coreolist
to kind of centralized core as she followed a blood trail that led to a
single dead body that had been there for many weeks based on thanksized faultage.
You know, I rarely interrupt your intros. I tried not to thank you,
correction bar Field for all of you listening the audio. And so tal
made her way through the core to find that the trail kind of indeed and
a series of elevators that worked their way down to the cellar of Coriolis.
Instead of they felt time was of the essence, especially after Lumara showed up
and began to reveal to them that she has some abilities, ones that are
not normal, at least not cataloged as mystic abilities, but nonetheless she continued
to just kind of show these off in the investigation, and they felt time
was of the essence, so they sent the judicator who was working with them
to investigate the seller to see if they could find out more as to where
it maybe where they moved the emissary while they decided to well, while they
decided to go back and get the heck off Coriolis, which didn't really happen
for them because they were stopped by a familiar face that of Childs that has
haunted them since their jump to Tawan, their curse. You might say,
this child revealed some information and seemed rather drawn to Lumara, and that information
was revealed to Malik that Lumara is slowly changing since being brought back from the
dead. Something from the darkness has attached itself to her, and she's slowly
beginning to change into a gin. It is still early enough where that transformation
could be altered or stopped or hindered potentially in some way. But the child
wanted to make it known that if she needed it, she could come back
to him as she was shifting. And finally, when they are resting their
heads aboard their vessel but Defiant, we see a image another corruption in the
universe, you might say. As two individuals cross through the dense crowd of
people outside the loading dock attached here in this private area attached to the Defiant,
where everybody I don't even know if they're sleeping sound lay anymore, but
they lay there in white noise of space. And two figures cross through this
crowd of people as if sliding across butter. They do not stop as they
move and weave and dart, and they very easily make their way up to
the entryway. You see one of them look around, pop the seal and
climb out and up and over the top of the ship. They put down
hoods, of course, and reseal it. Before going away. They begin
uh crossing towards the exterior, the exterior of the vessel. Yes, it
was southern. Southern kids know how to use butter, both in their language
and their food in a jack rabbit on a fry fan. It was a
good image. And you knew what I was talking about. But you would
eat a stick of butter. But I looked up and I watched Joey go
flip here. I am like, yeah, normal language, like butter,
and I was like, I'm sorry they were slow. They'd be they'd be
like molasses. I'd be like molasses. It's just gross. We need some
wind ecks up in space. Now spaces Okay, Oh my god, eisode,
we're in a mood. The last we saw town, the child had
come to you once again and departed without harming you. Um, but the
terror of a scream that you let out when you saw the child in your
corner did also awake soul. I believe. Yeah, it was nearby,
and both of you probably, like I said, probably later with your eyes
open. Do are I don't know. I'm interested. How is Malik and
Tamere sleeping like a baby? Yeah, certainly great. It's been a rough
two weeks. It has been. It has been just like it's like going
tomorrow's like getting the hell off this place. Yeah, tom was sleeping really
soundly until she woke up to a kid in her measure. I would say,
I think so that soul in general just has difficulties sleeping in general.
So it was it was kind of like half and half until he heard that.
So he's now kind of awoken. Yeah, now you're kind of up.
Um. I'll let you then make another observation role as you get back
to your room and probably settle. Maybe you clean a gun, you reorganize
the ones hung That's exactly what you're perfection on the wall observation. You say
yes, you do, say okay, well, oh shit, hey you
do now? Oh gosh, a limited success. Your feet outside or inside,
it's hard to tell. They're very faint. You can't decide if it's
on, if it's like down down near the cockpit like in the vessel,
or if it's on the roof, it gets outside the ship, I will
get up. Because the gin didn't have footsteps that were audible. They just
kind of they Yeah, they just disappear. They never made a sound.
Um, so that's not the gin. Everybody's probably supposed to be asleep.
So yeah, I'm gonna get up, and I'm going to try to find
the source of that. Um. I'll actually take a listen at Seoul store
to see if it sounds like he went back to sleep or not. Do
you make a lot of noise school? Um? No? And actually when
he left his room to go check up on town, he would have actually
left it door open. And when he returns back to his room, he
would have left the door still open, because he's an idiot. All right.
Then you see towel in order essentially her nightclothes, which is just a
long white tunic um and white pants to match. And I say, did
you hear that? He did not? Um? No? Were you just
like running around or anything? He takes a minute the thing. No,
I was just here, all right, I heard footsteps. I'm gonna go
check it out. Do you do you want me to come? Um?
Yeah, sure? And I grab baton that I see near the door.
Just yeah, you grab it and sling it out and it clicks into place
the way it's supposed to. I'm just I'm just gonna grab my Like my
knife is only thing that's really on my table. All the gun day would
have. He's probably discombobulated, so I just gonna grab the knife. Are
you moving with self? And where are you going? I'm going to move
with stealth. And you said it sounded like it could have been up near
the cockpit, So I'm going to kind of I'm going to be actively listening
forward again and just trying to follow where I think the sound is. It's
going from. She heads towards the cockpit. If you're gonna I'm guessing you
probably go the opposite direction. Stool No, I would follow behind it.
You're gonna follow behind her? Also, I am. Is there a step
between stealth and not stealth? That's kind of just like just walking. Stealth
kind of means what you're doing is attempting to be quiet. If you're attempting
to be quiet, you can still do it out in the open. That's
a means of stuffy um just like small footprints or like like feet um you
don't have to necessarily be behind things. Yeah, that's going to be an
infiltration, all right, have infiltration. Oh my god, I am done.
Go for it, captain. Captain yep, that's an agility. If
you don't have infiltration, great, no, great, okay. Um,
the two of you try your hardest, but the inside of the vessel,
it creaks and ekes. The hallways kind of echo with the sound of your
footsteps, and um, it covers that of the figures on the roof.
And as the two of you kind of eke towards the cockpit, um thinking
maybe something's in there, a towel, even reach forward with the baton,
it's you know, like as the door comes back, it's the right in
front of her, slings back the curtain or whatever. Um, there's nothing
there. But on the console you see something is flashing. The system says
alert helot alert. I checked the alert is that you pin it? It
says whole breached. The hall has been breached. What does that mean is
that I will essentially start going towards the whole breach. Figure out where you
kind of paint in. You look at the kind of three D HUD model
of your ship and you see there's a one, very small a rip tear
in the vessel's exterior where it looks like a one single piece of metal has
been pried back, unwelded and pride backwards. The system tells you this is
directly over the medical bay. Medical bay. Now, lumars in trouble,
and I immediately just go straight there. I would follow behind you, begin
running. I'm gonna give the two of you sleeping now that they are out,
yep, do we pass? Oh yeah, you're gonna You're gonna have
to pass through. Uh yeah, I will. I will slap the like
I will hit the door with the bi palm and I say Tamir Mike Lamar.
Now I would just actually I wouldn't do it if you didn't their mind.
Yeah, that's a good question. Max. They are technically in space
meeting. They're like docked and sealed, with the exterior of the vessel now
being broken. UM. One of the major upgrades that they took is for
UM like air if there's a breach, it air locks itself. There's like
a secondary mechanism here on the vessel UM, which is pretty sweet. UM,
which is good actually at this moment, but UM there would also probably
be two layers. Anyways, it doesn't matter. They have infiltrated your vessel.
U is the point. And as you run down there's two banks.
As you hit their doors. Um, you both mentioned you're in a deep
sleep role for observation. Cool? What great? Uh? Neither of you
hear it? The bank on the door, do we hear yeah, shouting
at us, good tree, you hear nothing. Neither of you hear it.
Okay, the boys there, Their attempts to wake you uh do not
work, as only the sound of your snores keep you in the steep deep
sleep. I know it's all right. And the two of you you run,
you run down to Lamara um and you get to the med bay and
you peer in. The little new door has like a porthole window, and
you peer in. There are two figures in the room. H. They
wear rather tight uh cloth bounds like clothing, um, and uh masks that
cover their face that almost match. And one of them has her by the
mouth and she's kind of like struggling and uh, the other ones trying to
bind her feet. It looks like they're going back up. I think right,
captain, all right, I think soul would probably try to open the
door. Okay, Oh no, I guess you know what i'll i'll Is
it normally locked? I don't think so. It's like a men normally locked.
This is all. Yeah, the you hit the button to open the
door. Error error error, malfunction, malfunction. I don't know if I
can unlock that is there is there something that I can do to like if
I look around, is there any entry way into the many medbay from out
here? This is the door into the med bay. I try to just
bust through the door. Door. Soul's just standing there. I'm going to
That's gonna be a force. It's like a whole door, though, isn't
it Isn't it like pretty? It's yeah, it is. All I got
is brute force right now. That's it. Yeah, till starts shouldering it.
Um, let's get a force. This is a force from you,
roll from you? Come on? How we get what two? Three?
She thuds the door and it kind of bends it almost like out of its
hole. We watch, Um, how that is a solid double metal reinforcement.
Um. You will take some damage from this. Um, you'll probably
your shoulder completely out of socket at the moment. Great, um. And
now if you wonder I was not hitting against my dominant arm right broke,
She's she's basically ripped the door from the magnetic lockpiece on the hydraulic piece.
You might be able to pry it back, soul. Can I use my
mercury sword to melt the hell? Yeah? Hell yeah, you could have
started with that. Well, I couldn't do it unless you provided an opening
for me to put the dagger in. So fine, go ahead, yeah,
because I'm assuming if I tried to use the mercury dagger, because a
whole that day too long. But if she bent it, I'm assuming I
can see the hinges. Yes, I would like to quickly melt one of
the hinges and then try to kick the door down, assuming that, Yeah,
take you. As soon as you try to melt that, I'm gonna
just start kicking. Yeah, okay, So you begin the process, you
like, you jab it in there, and this this slow it is like
melting it kind of with a lightsaber. You're like slowly melting it as you're
like, I love it down the door opening a world free, and tal
is kicking and kicking trying to break it open while I'm doing this, can
I look out look in the window and see how like, yeah, yeah,
you're like, you're like, I guess metal. Um they have her.
She's fighting back. She's like post one of them off. There's broken
glass everywhere. You can hear. Um. You can hear the tussle.
She looks rabid um as if and you watch it. She picks up a
scaffold and swipes at one of them. They dodge for very dextrously. Okay,
yeah, I'm gonna start shouting Mike up. One more observation. Is
there a button that we can do intercom stuff with? Yeah, you can
hit there you go, that's straight up in your bed, your name was
called. I would also like to hit them intercom by and then be like
I would just yeah, you're screaming. I would say, if the intercom
comes on, I'm still gonna have an observation. Um from ta mirror,
Yeah, you've done. At the moment intercom comes on, you hear Taal
scream your name. Um, both of you sit straight up. Something's wrong?
Uh shit? Um? Yes, no one and no one screams Malik's
name in the middle of the night from a distance unless something's wrong. So
he immediately like reaches over to where he keeps his stuff and grabs his gun
and runs out into the hallway towards wherever they show you come out and you're
like trying to get your bearings. They're down at the med Bay and you
can see Tal is like trying to kick in the door to the Med Bay
and so is. You can see the welding like sparks um the as they
jumps as he's like and he's trying to cut through it with his sword.
What the hell's happening? Why are you cutting into the medbay? They're trying
to take Lamara? Who would who is? No time to talk, Malik.
There's there should be a hole from the outside. See if you can
find it. Leave and he like starts punching in like one of the data
bads, like you see the same diagnostic that Tal got and in the cockpit
UM and that they've pried back like a single piece of metal that will need
to be like replaced or kind of pushed back in UM. It basically leads
to the there's like an internal shell and an external shell to the ship UM
and there's a small space kind of between the two, a crawl space basically
where they're like additional structure and things like that. Um. And so they've
kind of maneuvered their way in is what it looks like, and dropped into
the med baby of the ventilations, the shafts um, and they're trying to
you assume, go back out that way definitely. Now that's what I'm saying.
Like I'm trying to get Malik to go like the opposite side of the
tunnel. He's gonna have to put on a space and in with the pistol
um he is there. I assume there's some kind of security in this area,
right there would be like if some kind of crime goes down and we
go out there and find the yeahcase, we're in the spire right now,
right, we're not. I'm just like casual duck correct. Um. Is
there a way that I can like from here, because we're tethered to the
spire, Can I hack the Correolis system from here and attempt to like make
some clasons go off over here, like you know, to alert the security
basics, like a ship in distress, you with a good enough role you
sure good? Absolutely, Okay, the ship has a computer, so let
me do boo boo boop yeah, it. Make sure you take me a
bonus. If you're using the ship's computer. How about a crip? Holy
shit? Yeah, you click it highly iced? Do you have cheese?
A lot? A lot. The first person that pings into your mind is
Tel's father. He is head of security at least in some division. Yeah,
I'm gonna do as much as I like. So he's bleared and like,
but like at the same time, four o'clock in the morning on zero
sleep is when Malik does his best work gouter, like he really hears what's
going on and then realizes that Soul's like you need to go outside. He's
like that sounds making sense, and he startshaping the way at the tinpad right,
and so like with that crip, I kind of want to have like
some kind of like security alert, like like you know, like blinking lights
like you know inside the vessel or two for everybody outside outside the vessel.
So like the docking area has like there's like an attack here, like yeah,
the lights go from yellow caution to like danger hull breach kind of thing
right on the on the core itself. And while I'm doing that, I'm
also sending a message to Tal's father because I believe I had his contact information.
You do, I mean, you have security to be able to do
this, probably especially in a private sector. So you get it out to
him, no problem, You're you're in their server um in essence um.
So the message goes out to him, you know, alert alert. Yeah,
you send it to all the systems sending camera feeds if there are I
see camera feeds with rich docks. Then came yeah, okay, yeah,
I hope nobody's holding a gun where I know, I'm wholer taking the camp
where you Where are you sending camera feed? Who's getting you the So I
mean I would assume I would have to see the camera feed, but I'm
sending it to Tal's data, okay, le to identify the ship and what's
happening, you click on the camera feed. There are no direct cameras on
the external side of the ship because it's just docking. But what you do
manage to hack into our security drones that circle and patrol the exterior of correolists
with this very thing. And so what you actually spend time doing is connecting
to one and flying it over like getting it to your location. And as
you send out these security signals. Multiple of these security drones kind of begin
coming in on your location and the feed starts coming in and you can see
there's nothing currently on the outside, but one of it pins down like light
like a helicopter, almost on the hole that has been like ripped and breached.
Yeah, and they have like solid security footage on that. Now that
being set, we cut back as there's like this clack like like all you
hear is Malik as fast as he can go. It's solid fun. Yeah,
kick kick, I need another horse. You get through the door.
This kind of like you've broken the seal enough where it is weak. Um,
you don't have to walk as high. Yeah, anybody that wants to
roll you guys could double like force kick this door open if you want to
do hell yeah, come on we okay one success success. The both of
you you kick well in the second way your kick. Once you kick,
you kick and it's not working, and the both of you have that more
where you look at each other and you grab each other by the shoulder and
you kick together and the force of both of your feet burst this door open
and it rips free with this kind of metal on metal screeching as it falls.
To the ground. One of the other ones that was trying to bind
her feet. Look at the both of you. As the door pops open.
You can see they wear this very high tech helmet that has a breathing
apparatus for space. And they daftly dodged the fallen door and almost part core
up and onto the table, putting themselves between you, her and the man
that's basically trying to like gag her and bind her. Um. She has
a scaffold and has cut him multiple times. You can tell because the white
like rags if he wears bleat in certain places. All Right, we got
DNA evidence now, I think instinct Oh and we got a what was that
little kit that Joey has um? I think instinctively. And I didn't know
I was gonna get to use these this early. Can I throw my mercury
dagger at one of them? Uh? You want to like throw it?
Yeah? Close enough to just rush them or like houses? Yeah you could,
but you could. I mean this, this purse, this other person
seems to be purged here um waiting. Uh. This this I don't know
what to call it other than like a martyr of some kind is here too
to keep you from getting to her. Um, So, yeah, we're
both gonna just basically bomb rushing him. I think I would. Yeah,
I'm gonna just immediately run for the first one. And as I'm rum rushing,
I want to. I think I remember Tell grabbed a gun, So
I'm gonna say, no, I grabbed a baton. No, we have
a feed on us. It's probably better that we don't have a gun on
us. I hand you baton. Yeah, in that case, I'm damn,
I didn't. I didn't quit my throwing knives. Damn. It's okay,
all right, that's okay. We're gonna We're gonna start and we'll see
how this goes. Yeah, I'm gonna bumb rush the first guy you are.
Are you wanting to like properly tackle them? Yes? Is there is
there are which way to like grab any like glass tool like glass basis.
So you remember you get three you get Basically I'm gonna give you all a
turn and then we're gonna go into proper initiative because you broke the door open
and surprised them. So remember you get three action points per turn. Those
action points can each do something, so, um, I would say a
fast action is things like picking up an item. So you would get one
point to pick up a piece of glass, and it would be two points
to attack them in close combat, so you would be able to pick it
up and attack them with glass if that's what you wanted to do. More
potentially, I'm a sprint short distance from my first point and then use the
two points to attack close combat with my mercury knife. Okay, perfect,
Um, there you go. That'll that'll do. Yeah. The door burst
open and you you basically jump at this figure that is perched on the operation
table in the center of the mid bay. Um, make make your melee
combat Now they have on what are you? Yep, you miss they are?
They almost like saw you coming and they kind of jump back. Um,
so that you missed them almost entirely. Um. Tw you're gonna get
a turn as well, essentially doing the same thing, only UM. I'm
actually probably going to drop the baton because I was kicking the door and everything
like that, so I probably dropped it. I'm going to glad. I'm
going to grab something that's already broken and essentially arm myself with that and run
up to the guy. I don't think I have enough time to actually attack.
But that's okay. I think that's it. Yeah, okay, um
oh, can I use it to parry if someone tries to attack me?
Yeah? You could take what someone is a defensive stance, which means if
they attack you next round you get, it's harder for them to hit you
because you take a defensive position with the thing. I will. I will
do that because that's all I can do at this point. I think that's
all my action. Um, okay, So they're gonna get a turn,
but I think actually, I'm just gonna have this roll initiative. So everybody
roll a D six. Everybody's out and moving. This is going to be
for all five of you, or yes, all five of you, and
I'm gonna have all of them go at once. Why have a question?
Am I mercury thing? It says plus one two initiative, So that plus
one initiative weapon initiative is the is a weird rule compared to all the other
plus ones. You literally have a plus one on your initiative rule, so
it's not a plus. This is a game mechanic question. Hypothetically, let's
say I have multiple weapons equipped. You can only have one WEAPONQUI Okay,
you have a very primary weapon equipped. I have a four. Okay,
so until no, I have a one and Lamara has a four. No,
this is perfect. Let me go last, because to me, you're
not even there yet. So he's gonna throw a moll up and there the
grenade. He's careful what you ask for. I didn't ask for anything.
I wasn't saying anything. What do you mean you need to stop taking my
jokes and putting them into the game. Um, Malik has a one.
Yeah, and all right, let's roll for these these these dudes, they
go first. Great, the dudes go first. Okay. The first one
continues to try to um fight Lumara. Um. He makes a swing to
try to disarm her through melee combat. UM. Roll a little, a
little slow today. It is a little slow. We're just gonna be there,
goes. Okay, we'll take the first one. He fails. Um,
she's actually no joke with a scaffold. Um. And maybe it's because
it's a smaller weapon and they're used to kind of bulk. Clearly, there's
their soldiers. Um. But he does not succeed in the attack on her.
UM. The other one is in combat now with seul and will also
um, bring it, bitch, M make a melee combat. They again,
in this almost kind of overtly dextrous style, UM, toss their body
down using their hands and kick their feet forward as if they're going to pull
you right in the chest. Yeah they fail. I'm just rolling shit too.
Um and he misses uh and kind of almost jumps past you, landing
on the other side of the room. The funniest soldier slash assassin fight ever.
This brings it to Okay, so he's actually on the other side of
me. So I'm going up to try to help Lumara get out of her
situation. Um. So Twell's essentially going to try to help. I don't
know exactly what they're doing. H He's trying to grab her and she's like
swiping at him with a scalpel. A scalpel. Okay, I will do
my best to try to get between them actually and swipe at him myself.
Oh okay, great, Um yeah, more than likely because of the space
is easier to like spin him, like turn him around your direction and get
the because he doesn't know you're behind him, but you're able to. Oh
no, he doesn't know. I'm behind him. I'm gonna tack him from
behind. Okay, stab him with that beaker that I picked. Yeah,
you picked up a broken beaker and you're gonna stab him in the shoulder.
Make a melee attack. She will cut a bitch. Should I just use
strength because I don't actually have melee combat? Yes, just roll your strength
or agility. He is wearing some arm or receive this works. That doesn't
even bad for you. Okay, you bring it down and it crunches what
looks to be just like white wraps are clearly an overlay over top of armor,
because as it smashes down, the glass breaks against it in your hand
brass knuckles this time, and you like you slay your hand off a little
bit, and when you hear glass kind of hit the ground, you may
have cut yourself some um no, like massive pieces of glass or anything stuck
in the hand. But clearly you know now he's wearing had the armor of
some kind. Nice great, um, did you use all of your points?
My last point, I'm going to grab something metal that I see,
whatever's nearby, metal tray that was holding like you know, syringes and things
laid out like one of the it was big metal perfect phrase. Yeah,
I'm I'm gonna pick that up and that's gonna be my next weapon. Yeah.
Yeah, you pick it up, there's a home you're like hand,
you know, and you have to like always sling it out again dislocated shoulder,
you know, and you kind of pick it up with the one good
shoulders. You're gonna you're gonna lift it and bring it down, right,
it's the goal. Yeah, So you grab it, waiting for the next
time that you can make an attack on him. Um seul, Yeah,
how far am I from the person messing with our medic here? Uh?
There is not enough space for all of you. Basically, they're kind of
in a corner, the back corner of the room. It's Lumara, the
attackie, the martyr soldier, and Taw all lined up in combat on one
side of like a medical table. You are on the kind of opposite side
of the room with the guy that was perched on the medical table originally that
have you get in combat with? Did Max just ask how much worse can
get? Because you can get so much worse. So if you said,
don't say that the guy, say that the guy passed missed and he's on
the floor now or you just yeah, he kind of like he like jumped
past you and his like landed ninja style like on the floor looking at you,
waiting on his next attacking. I mean no, means through him that
he missed his attack on Okay, I'm gonna probably just attack him then great,
Yeah, so I just do another you can do? I mean yeah,
if if you're wanting to do a melee combat you said, can,
is there anything shrink you get make? What is making an attack of opportunity
in close combat? I would think it means a fast action making an attack
of opportunity. I wonder if that means like you can take you can basically
step back and create an attack of opportunity on yourself. If an enemy who
has engaged in melee combat with you attempts to move away, you can,
if you wish, make an attack, so you can use your turn to
make an attack of opportunity if they step away. Okay, in that case,
I will just uh do a close combat attack with my normal action.
Cool, because I don't think there's like an aimed close combat attack. No,
it's just a close combats just malay. Well in this case, two
oh um okay, Uh, here we go. Let's see if they how
much of this? They negate one point of that, so they take a
point of damage. Um, what do you? How do you attack them?
You just slice them through with the sword. I think I would try
to stab into a joint, Try to aim for a joint. You do?
You manage to get him in his shoulder and here as he kind of
pushes you back and rips his three of his shoulder. Um, there is
a lot of characterization, and it clearly hasn't stopped them because they are rather
tough so armor he gets one, so he doesn't even to gate one of
my damage. Yes, okay, so that was three the mercury as a
sword. Sorry, I'm looking at the wrong thing. How much damage do
they do? I'm sorry? Set to I don't. I don't have the
dagger anymore. Apparently it does. I forgot I think it does. The
sword. Oh, how does a sword to three? Okay, so he
negates one of that, so it comes actually to two. Um, and
so you do manage to cut through their armor. It's actually first time you're
realizing again just like how they're wearing armor underneath what looks to me these reps
to hide it. Um great, that makes it Lumara's turn. Uh.
Can I make a player argument for Lamara? Sure so without doing damage because
she has a scalpel, but she's also a cuckoo doctor. Can I roll
MEDAICURGI she wants to like nick attendon and slow this person down or weaken him,
and she can roll it to nowhere to do it best? Ye,
I get a bonus to a combat role. Full action is first aid,
and this is kind of the opposite of first aid. Okay, so I'm
gonna do I'm gonna do two things here, sure because we did get a
corruption bar Phil Commetton the top of this, and so I'm gonna let her
make current tack and then she's gonna do something else. Okay, So roll
the meat a kurgee. Uh. Okay. She knows exactly where she's gonna
need to nick him on the neck if she wants him to bleed out very
quickly with a with a scalpel of this size like a it's not going to
cut his guts open, at least not through this armor. So she's gonna
have to get into his neck so she can get a bonus dye. Basically,
to this role, which is going to be a melee combat role.
Okay, let me give a positive one and then roll melee. Can she
do it? Also? I had the one point left? Was I able
to go into Overwatch? Or does that go into you can go into Overwatch?
The only a point right? Yeah, I don't know if that works
for melee weapons. I don't think it does. You have to be at
a right, you have to use a ranged weapon to check on. That's
okay. She fails again. She tries to get through. You see her
like this crazy look in her eyes. She stabs down and the scaffold snaps
in half, hitting the armor underneath. This pisses her off. And because
we have a corruption bar that was filled, Lumara scrambles after it breaks and
she sees this happen and now she has no weapon. Over to the bunk
where she was sleeping where they originally attached her in this kind of back corner
near by, and she reaches under her pillow and she pulls out a shiny
new grenade and she holds it in her hand. No, Umar, No,
and she goes to reach for the town and we're going to continue through.
That was Zamar's turned to mirror. It is your turn on the record.
Everything is Paul's fault. The moment you were like a grenade's missing,
I was like, well, yeah, because Lamara took it. That was
a dialogue in my head. And since then, Lamara has been sitting on
this grenade. It's perfect fucking I don't know, She's been literally sitting on
a grenade this whole time, metaphorically and figuratively. Chad's killing me tonight.
You guys killing me a little bit, dude. I just wanted to want
to know. That whole grenade thing started as a joke. I was just
trying to be funny. You wrote on a massive weaponry, and of course
she would be interested in something for herself, so she just picked it up.
No harm, no foul. Samir. Samir's a little sluggish right getting
into this whole thing. He has not even been there, right, just
kind of like the slow wake up and then like went back to bed and
the realization like oh wait, there's a tula out on the ship. Yeah
yeah, yeah, So he activated in his calms to like, uh,
you know, scan scan ship, like what's what what's going on? Give
me a read out? And I think hearing the whole breach, he would
have taken the time between the waking up and everybody now in the room to
don his exo shell. Nice okay, because he knows how to get in
and out of that stupid fast. Yes you do. That's his training,
that's what he has to be. Yeah. So you like you like you
put it on as quick as possible, something that takes most people like minutes.
Uh, you do in seconds and uh uh you are ready to go.
As you hear the commotion inside of the new med lab seems to be
a bit extreme. There's like there has been no gunfire m hm, but
people are kind of screaming about and you hear twel saying no Lamara, Uh
what would you like to do? Oh god? Um? I think Tamir
was making his way out of the ship to the part right to where they
had gotten in. Um, and I'm just gonna have them start going through
the way they came in. Okay. Um, Well, so they came
in, you want to go like out and around. Basically you're gonna you're
gonna flank them. M okay. Yeah, I think I think at this
point too, because first off, you need to make sure that there wasn't
anything that was going to blow up the ship because there's a goddamn hole breach.
Totally. He's probably got like that like massive like space welding yep piece
piece and like the magnetic feet of the magnetic shoes on it, and so
uh, you know that you need to prob The easiest way to do this
is going to be to like pull the the piece in that like docks you
directly to coriolis and like curl up and around and then redock it. Um.
She would be able to do pretty easily. And so you begin that
process. All this is going on, and yeah, make it up to
the side, and as you as you come around the side, your magnetic
feet um, you know, thudding on a slow pace. You see the
piece peeled back where they've peeled the single plate, and next to it is
a third figure. They're waiting here. They are almost a crowd, kind
of like a spider u. They seem to have magnetic little fingies and magnetic
just on their toes. Yes, I said magnetic thingies, Mike. They
have little magnetic thingies and little little magnetic toe pieces on their shoes. Um.
And it crawls like a spider on the outside of it. They are
not wearing a exosuit nothing that is like as good as yours. This is
meant for quick infiltration and getting out. Does that make sense? It precisely.
And then they've got magnets on the fingertips and magnets on the toes and
they just crawl across. They get in and they get out. I have
a question. Did this person show up on the that Malik got He did.
Now we haven't got to Malik's turn yet, he said, okay,
I was just asking, go on, that's that's what you see to me,
or actually speaking of now it's Malik's turn, Malik, one of the
drones pans to a new person. There is your brother who has exited the
vessel, which you have would have kind of like seen happen. And this
third figure has like basically walked up the side of the ship towards the hole
as if they were there to grab Lumara, like to be the person that
like pulls her out because she's going to be bound basically. Um but yeah,
there's like a third person. The cameras are solidly on them. They
even acknowledge the cameras, but they are wrapped and masked. If that makes
sense? What what? And more importantly, as you get like a really
good look at this in the camera's tune in on this person, your brother
come around the side, something else begins to happen. The code that you
have written to tap into this security system, somebody else is also trying to
hack you out. They are trying to send back basically the feed and block
it from making it to anyone off. It's a hack off. Hack the
world, baby, hack the world, you know, the planet cattle of
that happen, and literally every situation that could be worse is happening. I've
used a corruption bar and two darkness points. Gang are you done? No
I could think of was like when when your mom knows you're into something but
gets it almost right back the world. Okay, So for the record,
this is one of my favorite movies. I know, but half the world
because I don't want to use their thing because copyrights a thing. Yes,
I use the mom version of the thing of our sci fi campaign. That
good turn back around to the Duke. I'm pretty sure that Mike lives just
to make fun of the way that I talk everyone. I love it.
This is twice tonight, I got I got up for sliding butter and the
world. Please did somebody club half the world? My favorite new movie quote,
I want to shap r this is at the world right now. So
see how if everybody an audience doesn't even know. So it's even an even
deeper cut. So I love say this. I love this game. Um
it's from the movie Okay, from the movie Hackers. As they say that
the line is not hack the world at the planets, I'm making I'm making
that a shirt. Um Uh Okay, I have a question before we get
into an old school hack off. What level of control do I have of
these drones and what are their capabilities? Are they just like security camera drones?
Well, you're critical for gave you control of them. They are basically
like his security drone, which is like they can take footage, you can
contromotely control them. But they're not Um, these are not attack drones.
Okay, um, what what do you mean? Would it be a a
what what kind of action would it be? I know I know that we're
kind of winging the action economy here with with hacking. Um what it be?
Can I can I? Can I hack as a as a normal action
and pilot a drone as a fast act. Is that a possibility? Where
are you piloting the drone too? I just want to take whatever the I
assume it's like a cell phone dpad, and I just want to crash this
drone into one of the dudes. That's like okay outside of the ship.
That is that is a full attack. You're using the drone as a kama
kazeh, which means one possible damage to the ship will get there in a
second, and two for that moment right there, uh and uh two uh,
it would be you would not be able to get back at them,
if that makes sense. So basically, each turn we would make a hack
off as long as you have a chance to like roll off against their data.
San is Well, how we're gonna do this, gotcha? Yeah,
I'm gonna I'm gonna let them have this one because there's claxons and noises,
so they're gonna they're gonna get they're gonna get the point this round. Yeah,
but I'm gonna I'm gonna crash this thing into this dude. Um.
And there's two inside in the one spider with the fingies on the outside right
with the things with the thingies. Okay, what do you want me to
roll to crash drone into person? This is a this is a arranged combat
attack. Okay, all right, I'll take that. Um Uh. Do
I have any bonuses? Do you have, pilot? I don't. I
have a shitload of data. Gin um. Okay does the supercomputer help us?
Uh? If you gave control to the supercomputer, it could No.
I used to have control over myself. All right, cool, so arranged
combat you remove these minds? Three suck it. Guy on ship. It
comes diving and smashes to the ground. They are going to negate the damage.
As you watch as they it is almost eerie as you watch them,
I guess technically both I'm saying, Ma Lae can't see it. The explosion
kind of like rattles the I mean it's gone, right like one cam's gone,
and the rest of them turn to focus on it. But you might
miss this. But to the U as the smoke clear, as you see
that it is not dead. But it is Tamir that sees them like scurry
out of the way, like backwards across the ship, as if they move
just as dexterously as a good inside of Correolis. They are they are trained
for this. All I can think of. It's like what an old reference
is like Voldo from from that that Soul Caliber game where just walks off.
Yeah yeah, kind of like that, but he's they're connecting. They're magnetized
to the ship like a crab walk yet this yeah, okay, so we
got one success for a hacking round. Um, and it starts again and
it is now the dudes turn the one trying to grab Lumara once again.
The dudes, uh, they will make You're so not abiding right now?
What is happening to the melee combat? They see They see her with this
grenade that she's like picked up and lifted. They're going to try to get
it from her. Okay with a critical success. Okay, so they reach
out and grab her hand and kind of she's got a grenade. He's got
his hands around her and has kind of he's like wrapped himself around her,
so he's like bound her and she still got this grenade right here by his
head in her hand. Um yeah, um, he might you know what
it was a melee combat? Why don't we? Lamar is not wearing any
armor, is she? She was sleeping, So any of us are wearing
right, except so he takes a very hard hand and smacks her across the
face before he grabs her um and the grenade as they continue struggling. Um,
she is going to take I believe it's a point of damage. Unarmed
combat is one point, right, thinks us the true I have to do.
Yeah, So she takes a point of damage and you see her head
begins to bleed. Um, that's one dude. Other dude is in combat
with um malik. They I'm sorry, So they pull a weapon. What
have they got on them? Okay, they've got a dur a knife.
Um, yeah, we're gonna have a knife fight. So old fashioned jail
knife fight. Let's go. Um, they come at you, bro as
you so put it with a two success. What kind of armor? How
much arm are you wearing? Oh that's right, you're not wearing armor.
So they do two points of damage as you they slice across whatever kind of
uh clothing, normal clothing that you're wearing. Okay, third dude is on
the outside, but we'll wait to see what they do. We're gonna put
them with tame. Since that looks like that that needs to be that way,
all right, and that makes it souls turn soul? Oh isn't that
tells turn? Oh? I'm sorry, I'm sorry, you're ready to tell
I'm faster. I'm gonna try to hit thank you. So I'm gonna try
to hit that guy that's got Lamara with the metal thing that I'm holding.
It's probably not gonna do very much, but you know it's Yeah, you're
gonna smash mcdual's head. You whack it, it bends around his face,
but he does not budge. Okay, turn it the other way and I
get ready to whack it the other way again. Your term shit. Um,
there's still no room for me to get into her, whether heard Lauren
is all right? We've got magnetic fingers, hacked the world, knife fight,
and a grenade. This is going amazingly. Um yeah, okay.
If there's no room, I guess the best thing I can do is just
go at this guy. Yeah, go at him, bro, all right,
it sounds weird when it comes out of my mouth. I clicked it.
I'm okay to shut up mine too. That's that it would be a
hit. We're gonna roll their armor. See how much of it they negate
none, they take the full amount. How much damage does it do?
Wow? Uh, this guy's already taken some damage. So you watched where
you had already kind of stabbed him in the shoulder. This time you managed
to cut across the body and through the armor. Um, you can see
it like singes. You get them across the stomach. They are heavily injured.
They actually have one hand now wrapped around their kind of a central core
m with the knife in front of them. Okay, um, I have
one more point, but I'm I don't think I can do anything. Um.
Can I prepare myself? I know it's just parrying a close combat?
Can I prepare myself in case he comes at me again? Yes? So,
yeah, you don't lose points, you le okay, regain them at
the start of your turn to max, so you have over you can parry
if he attacks you. Yeah, I'm gonna save that one point then yeah?
Good? Um okay perfect? So U so yeah, all right,
you hold to the for the parry which is inevitably coming. Um, don't
let me forget okay. Lamara is trapped in kind of a grapples type situation
with a grenade in her hand. She has not activated it yet. What
does she do? Don't fun malink, I I don't know, Dot.
You gave her a grenade? Were crazy? Uh? You all gave her
grenade because you brought all those weapons on board this show. Uh she gave
her the grenade that it was a joke. I don't know. I don't
know how stable she is. Uh, she's very smart. Um she is?
Is she grab you? Says she's grappled right now. Oh yeah,
he's like Beryl hugging her, and he's got both of his hands with that
critical success around the grenade that's in her hand, and he's kind of like
got her this way. Okay, I am gonna fuck us. Um she
is. So he has arms like around her upper arms, and I think
she screamed at him, uh, something like you know in in you know
Dot's lamar voice, Uh like I'll kill us all or something along those lines,
and is yeah, and is holding it and pulls the pin but doesn't
release the spoon. Yeah. And so I'm going to roll manipulation to have
everyone believe that she's willing to release the spoon on this grenade and blow up
it. I love it. That's exactly what I wanted her to do.
She goes, how blow us off scot high, I swear it, will
you know what, I'm going to give you a darkness point because I want
to see if this works. Yeah, yes it does. Okay, Okay,
this is what it really comes down to. None slow rolls. Okay,
Well, the third one's on top, so it doesn't really matter.
I don't know why I rolled for them anyways. The first one, this
is the one that's in combat with you. Uh. Soul Is looks as
she says that. Okay, I think I would follow his eyes. Okay,
No, no, I would not. I would not follow. Can
I do anything he does? He does cut? That would be I would
make. I would say that's an attack of opportunity. He's not passing you,
but he's taking his eye off combat. All right, How you could
do that instead of the PERI term, you just make it you get another
attack? Yeah, but if you're making it as an attack of opportunity basically
to fill your last point for this round too, Yeah, you hit um
before he hits we hit the bar, yeah, okay, cool. Well
he negates it all and takes another three points. You run him through with
the blade and his body goes limp in this like moment as he kills his
eyes off, and yeah, you kill him. Oh yes, do it
in the tests way somehow, now, I mean, if that's how you
want to do it, Yeah, I wouldn't slit his throat so his blood
splatters. Yeah, he looks like this. Um to over to Lumara as
she says, I'll blow a sky high, I swear it, and you
take your blade directly across his throat as it reveals that soft spot in his
armor. Yeah, I think I would immediately turn off the mercury like the
mercury partners so it doesn't quarter eze, and then just use the blunt side
of it as you take. As you take, basically turn him into a
pez dispenser in his his His blood splatters across the wall and his body goes
limp to the floor. There's now blood everywhere, so um, and it's
pooling on the floor. So we'll get to that in a minute. That'll
be our corruption bar. Wait, what why is it that everything I do
is screwing us up? But it's not, it's not, it's not.
It was gonna happen anyways. We just still blood faster than planned. Um,
very good, Lamar tamir um the it is your turn, and the
other agent will go after you. I think Seoul has like a fetish for
making my ship dirty. Huh yeah, huh yeah, it's his kink for
sure. I'm not going to comment on that. Wonderful your turn. Some
mirror in open broadcast coms right, Um to mirror is just gonna like,
uh, pretty wide eyed, like not expecting this person maybe thing like things
shouldn't move like that, uh in space, Like that's kind of weird,
just not cool. Don't like it. Um, hey, stop fucking with
tell ship, and he's gonna like turn on the the welding tool and just
start charging at the thing to try to hit it. Right as you charge,
you see this this uh drone dropped down. It causes it to actually
have to like scutter backwards like towards you, so it's actually closer. You
don't have to go as far. Um, and we get that. As
your feet run across the deck from inside, you can hear it a thud
thud thud over top of your heads as the combat inside continues. Um,
it is totally cool for you to make an attack with that. Uh,
it's not rained, so I would consider it melee. So it's forced a
combat. I would say it's melee combat because you're using something as a weapon.
Would you say he's proficient with this weapon. It's not technically a weapon.
It's used as a weaponry. When he breaks this expensive too, it's
just burning, okay, just just just strength. Hey, hey, you
gotta one. You gotta one, um, and they're going to have a
chance to rule against you. They failed. They take all damage from this,
so there is some fired damage. And what happens is you actually begin
to it's welding tool. You start cutting through there are welding tool. It's
a ship welding tool, and it doesn't you like this thing across their space
and it slices open the body of this suit, which now also means they
are ventilating oxygen great um, and you immediately see them grab for their own
throat. Their hands come up and their body kind of floats as they stand
on their two their kind of toes which are still like they're literally like floating
in space like a balloon, as their toes steek into the ship. As
they hold they're trying to like close up the gap. But you've cut them
open, I think to me or like seeing that that human reaction is going
to like step back. Yeah cool, this will only take a few seconds
for him. He's a goner, super duper goner. Um, Malik,
it is your turn. The hacker continues their takeover of your h your code.
Malik shouts, hack the world, the whole world of the two.
Okay, Um, this is going to be Uh. I wonder if this
you don't know this person, so you would not be aware. It's okay,
you win this round. God you Um. The moment your fingers hit
the keys, it's like you were born for this, and you begin writing
against their code, trying to beat them at their own game as they hack,
uh, they hack back? Uh? Well the hell that I see
isn't there an a pope make an a pose role thing? Anyway? That's
it. That's it my turn, That's all I feel like there might be
Oh yeah, so it's it's a free action to defend against an opposed role.
So if they're trying to hack against me, it's essentially a free action
that I can respond to. I guess right, which is basically what's happening.
They're trying to hack you in your yeah, vice versa. It's like
a response, but you still get a turn. I mean you're gonna have
to. I'm giving you that as like an almost like a free action,
every turn to do the thing that you do. Um uh yeah, that's
all I got, really, I guess U anything else you want, no
other than piloting more drones. But I can pilot a drone or or had
well. I would say at this point, you see your brother run in
and that like uh bright arc that comes across like a black and white screen
as they he pans, yeah, uh the torch and then you see it
to the the agent grasp at their throat as their their suit is venting out
into space. Can I do this as opposed to using the uh the drones
as a weapon. Um? Can I fly a drone or two into the
combat scenario where where Tamir is with this guy and basically harass this guy with
it to like make it more to he can't. I was about to say
he's dying next rone. He's going to be a popsicle because his suit has
ventilated into space. You see that, like and maybe you see it as
you like bring the drontones into like help your brother. You realize your brother
has sliced his suit open. You can see it, and mirrors takes a
couple steps back as he witnesses this man like the gate all of his oxygen
into deploid. Okay, I have several feelings about that that I don't like.
Um, So that's just the thing that is happening. You witness it
at a distance on a screen, as malikas want to do, and it
starts over it becomes the dude's turned one. Dude dies and you see they'll
kind of like cracking of his eyes and skin as they become cold from the
inside out, and he turns into ice. His feet still stuck to your
ship because magnets don't release with somebody simply dies and now his body floats there
kind of limply and lifelessly um in space, just near the door where they
are now singe marks and appealed back piece of plating. Hey, look,
guys, I got a new hood. You want to take that from the
top. No, we're just gonna keep it. Oh my god, Oh
sorry, is gonna I've corrupted them, y'all. Dot You know well enough
that I've inencrupted for a long time. I know that's true. It's why
I like keeping you around. What would you like to do to mirror?
Yeah, it's your turn. No way is the dude turn. The dude's
turn. One dude dies, the second dude um is on the inside.
They witness. The other one obviously is like cooling and like out on the
floor. The one that has their hands around the mara, she like holds
it up and the pin has been kind of pulled a release from it.
He doesn't let her go. He goes, you do hear a voice?
It is under like a modulator so that as to mask it or like shield
it in some way, and you simply here, do not do this.
Just come with us and we'll let them live. And she goes, I'll
do it. I swear a will. No, the doc don't pull that.
Don't don't do it. We got you where, we don't number him.
Smell so good? What is that? And she kind of was like
looking around now active grenade like pinched in her hand. Hey for focus,
focus, focus, relaxed. Just don't let go. She's like breathing really
really hard. Who wants to make the manipulation role to try to calm her
down? I I I put it. I actually I this is what I'll
do. I'll drop my I dropped the thing and I put my hands up.
I say, Lamar, you know this med bay would not survive that
grenade. You wouldn't want to do that with you. Jesus, what do
you smell that? I know? What does it smell like? I SUPs
like blood? Oh shit, there's a lot of blood. There is a
lot of blood here. Um, it's like running down her head, all
right, kind of her tongue kind of reaches out and licks her own face
a little bit. I think that's yours. I'm I will slowly start to
try to reach for it, and I will say, hey, Lamara,
can can you give me that grenade so it doesn't just in case because you're
bleeding and I don't want you to I don't want you to let go just
by accident if you win the manipulation check. Oh god, all right,
God, I have a question. Can I use command? You want to
do it as a captain? Yeah, Okay, you're gonna have to tell
me, because that's why I wait a different role play. That's that's why
I was talking about the medbay. This med Bay couldn't survive it. Okay,
you wouldn't want to do that to my ship. She looks at it,
and she looks at you. This is your ship too, you know
that right. This is your home just as much as it is mine.
The figure is has kind of slowly like releasing her, like letting his hands
off, their hands off fur and their his hands kind of go up like
this. I guess, okay, she she's definitely stopped, and she's hesitating.
She's listening to listening to you. Yeah, I'm essentially just gonna keep
going um saying cook, I mean this this med bay it's it's absolutely trash.
We're gonna have to work on this, but we can't do that.
I cleaned it just the other day. You know what. We'll help you
clean it. Yeah, well Malik too, Yeah, definitely, yes,
Yes, Malik will definitely help you clean the med bay Um. I don't
want to say anything because I feel like she's gonna make me roll. This
person begins climbing the walls like Spider Man, up the ceiling as you speak
to her and is attempting to escape through the ceiling. You can make an
observation you need more than one to see them. I am completely focused on
the mara great um, I would say, then the only person that sees
you, Yeah, you don't see them. They almost can see him on
the exterior cameras as he's like climbing out, Yes, here we go.
You see him as he creepy crawls out his his fingy magnets are working,
and his toe magnets. And as they come out, they're kind of crouched
there. They see at a distance probably ten twelve fifteen or so feet tam
or notice them. They look over and see their comrade nearby floating. They're
attached. They recognize this situation, look down in the hole, recognize that
situation, look back at them, realize that they have lost this. They
hit a button their fingers you can tell, release their feet do not,
and they start a running like they start running across the ship for their comrade.
They tackle them, releasing their magnets and pulling their friend free and they
go tumbling into free space. You see that for sure. On the camp
Whose turn is it? Um? Technically it is Lumar went to Mere went
oh we started back over, So it's actually tals turn. Um is actually
tals turn, which I would say was probably your um talking down Sewel's turn.
Um was the observation, Lumar's just caught in a kind of those spaces
turn. It's correct if you don't mind, Joey, I'm gonna jump in
real quick because we have ai um lease, I don't know science super well,
that's to Mere's wheelhouse. However, I know that non jet propulse free
form floating in outer space is fairly slow, and I have a harmada of
jet propulsed drones. I want to get these dudes and not like crash into
them to make them go further. I want to get as many drones as
I can, like screw the hack. I want to pilot as many drones
as I can to push these floaters back towards the docking bay because they're just
floating free form it as long as they're in zero gravity, there's not much
they can do about it except for like swat the drones away. Does that
make sense? Like I want to push these like fly these drones out because
I assume they have some kind of jet propulsion, right because they're floating in
zero graph out and then push these guys back in the dead guy and the
guy who some resulted off into space Okay, that's not what these drones are
used for. You're going to have to make a piloting check. Okay,
cool, for each one. So I'm guessing you're gonna using two to kind
of try to push them back in as many as I can if I haven't.
I don't know how many are in this room, but as many as
possible. I don't have piloting. So, uh guess an agility or a
technology pilot is based on agility, so you would roll an agility roll cool.
I'll roll you some agility limited success. Wow. Okay, you throw
one out, uh kin, you kind of start rushing them and try to
stop them and push them back in. The one person that is holding his
dead friend, uh is kind of like pummeled like a linebacker in the stomach,
as one of the buds in him would be pushing him back. You
can't see from the one that's like uh like it's embraced around or hugging right
one from the outside, though. What you do see is this man reaches
into a pouch on his hip, he pulls from it a grenade, plucks
a pen, releasing it and let's go. And there is august silence in
space. As we watch two drones and two bodies explode. Shit, Tamir,
you witness this. In fact, some of the body parts in the
silence and emptiness of space, as you just witnessed, its like began floating
towards you. An arm thuds into you, not moving you because your feet
are solid. But that's yeah, that's what happens. All the dudes are
dead, and Lumara is standing still, kind of eyed eye. We are
out of combat, and she now grips this active grenade near her kind of
chest as she talks to Towel. She's still holding the pen. The pin
was dropped on the floor. Okay, I will very slowly, I will
say, Lumara, do you mind if I put the pin back in so
that it doesn't go off. I don't want to destroy the ship and hurt
us. Why did they come for me? I don't what do they want
with me? You know what? We'll find answers, but right now,
right now, we just need to I'm sure he's safe. I'm sure he's
safe. I heard him. He was right in the hallway. Think you
hear her kind of shout out the leak, Hey, hey he's dead.
No, No, that was him. He's fine, he's fine. Hey,
I'll trade, you'll stop. I will very I will look around on
the ground for the pin um. Okay, you're gonna have to make an
observation check. There's a lot of glass and small objects have been knocked around,
and is combat all throughout here. You've got to find it. Hey,
nice a two limited success? Do you like? You take a second?
You get on your hands and kniece's glass everywhere. The blood is pooling
and just seeping your direction for my man's My hands are cut, my arms
still fucked up. It's it's a bad day. Uh and uh and you
you kind of gloves um. You look around it and you see it under
some glass and you slowly pick it away and you pull up the grenade pin
um in your hand, and I say, lamar, if I put this
in, then we can we can let go the grenade and everything will be
fine, like going. Can I keep it? Uh? Well, you
know, I'll have to. Let's put the pin in first. Let's let's
stick a pin in it. You look okay? Are you you can keep
it? But you have to be you can't blow up my ship. Okay,
I'll give you something better. Can you please, she kind of holds
it out to you. You're gonna need to make a dexterity agility check to
slide this in, Hikay, slide the pin in without setting it off.
I got agility. Your tweet about the grenade was on point. It is
Lamara. I'm giving you a darkness point. Your hand shakes as you go
to put it in, and you hold back, knowing that you can't do
it until you take a moment. All right, you give me a darkness
point. And for good use. As her hand is so steady. She
may breathe heavy, but she has the hands of a surgeon and they do
not shake squeezing this grenade. It is your hand that shakes as you slide
the pin in. It takes it a second. She squeezes a little tighter
to make sure that it kind of clips in, and you're pretty sure it's
good to go, and she releases it, and as it does, it
goes to fall to the ground. I try to catch it. You can
pick another dexterity agility if you'd like. Oh God, you reach for it
and it's not enough. It slides through your fingers and it takes to the
ground, and there's a moment where maybe the whole ship takes a deep breath
as the grenade only rolls over and pings into Seul's toe, which is now
standing a couple half inch of blood. I'll pick it up, so Goodmorrow.
Yeah, are you okay? Are you hurt? No? No,
I'm fine, I'm fine, all right. She kind of looks up at
the ceiling where they came in, and you know, over it's basically like
her inset and bunk that came in through the vent shaft there above her bed.
Um, and she goes, I should oh, I have to clean
all of this stuff. What if you could get heart? Um, I'm
holding my shoulder at this point, I'm already hurt. Actually, can you
oh, oh, you have a roll of medicurcy check as she comes over
to tow and begins looking at you, roll it up for me. Yea.
She comes over and she goes, oh, that is not good.
Um. She kind of puts a hand on your face and she says whole
time, um, and she grabs her shoulder and her elbow and she you
see her like do this like kind of jamming motion. She locks her shoulder
back in where it belongs. It is very painful. Um, I definitely
am going to need you, oh to roll to not pass out. This
is kind of like mind. This is like her mind. So I'm going
to say, this is your wits. U can you just withstand the pain?
I don't know. M hm. I would also take strength, um,
if you feel like that's a better skill for you. It is well
as a strength, like can you just grin and bear the pain? Can
you grit through it? Oh? Yeah, can you can? Your teeth
probably grind a little bit. It's maybe not the first time you've had a
shoulder that's been out of place. But she very like she does, knocks
it in and she looks over it. So what are you hurt? Um?
I look at myself. I got a little cut. I'm like,
no, I'm good. She goes, I'll stay right here, let me
stitch you up. I'm fine, I'm you just relax. I'm gonna go
towards the dead body and used my sword to carterize his cut, started and
then started dragging his body out. Uh. You begin dragging the body which
has pulled. There is nothing left to there's no reason to carterize it.
Most of his blood has spilled out on the floor, a vast amount of
it as you begin, kind of you do you cauterize it so there's no
extra spilling out as you move the body and you begin like So I didn't
give across the floor and the pool of blood. I think I would pick
him up. I'm not gonna I'm not gonna drag him. You pick him
up, he drips just a limitute better than having you a trail. Yeah.
As I walk out, do I see ma leak or anything? Yeah?
You see the league standing at the nearest terminal. He's hacked and jacked
in, uh data pad and he's like got all these wires and stuff.
I'd be like, I think you need to calm her down. Um,
where do I go put dead bodies? Where do you usually do with I'm
asking my leak, I'm asking him, Oh, oh, you're role playing
it. Well, let me shut the hell up. We've been on the
ship at the same time. Man. Question Now I'm asking you that are
we in space or can I leave? I go outside? Like the door,
I can't remember it, to be honest with you, Uh, Tamir
pulled the door back in and re like connected it. You can walk out.
You just have to open the doors on the way into the Okay,
you can walk out into the into main coils. You're walking into the private
sector where you got damn it. Imagine imagine the ships in space and there's
one door connected with the connecting it. Okay, I'm gonna just what what
do I what I what do I do with this? I can't she can't
see that. She's going a little cucum or coco for I'm worried. Already
contacted the space. Please. Uh, they're Belik is king away. Somebody's
hacking back. Go ahead, Oh that's still happening. We're still Oh that's
still happening. This I'm just gonna stand there and watch it. Yeah.
So I'm like, I'm very much like I don't have time for this right
now. The police, what are you doing? Just hold it? Just
hold hold your corpse here, the dead corpse. Put it down, put
it in cool story, put it down. I don't know what you want
for me. I don't know what you want to me. As the pressure
rises, we get another fucking critical success the world. You hack that world?
Um, okay, you this boys, they only heard one. You
win again. It's gonna have to be three rounds. We've only had two.
Does the critic count as two rounds that I want? Does not?
Um? Let's see, technically we've had three rounds. They won the first
one and then I won the next two. But you chose not to hack
that one. Yeah, they won the first one. Three. Yeah,
I got three actual hack against hack rounds. Okay, would you like me
to make another one? Real quick? Um? Hang on, I'm going
to Oh. I was gonna use some darkness points, but I don't think
I like any of those things. Okay, you know what, No,
I'm gonna spend you guys have given me two darkness points. I'm gonna reroll
that datasion until it comes up like that one. I hope it comes up
worse mind does not wonderful? You still win the round. They are causing
you a lot of problems. What you're trying to do is get to the
police, and they are negating that. They're basically putting up firewalls. Um,
so you're gonna have to continue hacking because your message is not out yet.
Okay, Uh yeah, oh yeah, go ahead? Cool uh movie
roll. I think mint hacking souls can get like kind of tired. And
he's gonna have a doctor's point dot. Let's let me roll mine first,
because it could just be a oh that was zero. Oh, mine popped
up a zero. Yeah, I rolled. I failed, and then Gigger
darctness point and rolled the two. Ohn rolled the two. Okay, great,
I'm gonna take that darkness point and use it to reroll. Okay,
cool coo cool cool, God damn it. Uh, this is why I
kept all those darkness points, okay, just so that I can have my
way when I wanted favorite. I see all these darkness points to have the
most uh yeah, like uh, it's okay, somebody's witnessing it. The
action is pagan style. Roll again. Oh, somebody has to win.
This will be the this will be the role critical mind again. This is
no no this darkness boy okay, Malik slowly, that's ridiculous. Fishes HiT's
a key the World Part two. It's very much like click click, so
I don't care click and there's like an inswer and there's this this kind of
pause where the it just kind of blinks on your screen and you're through and
the message gets out You've beat this hacker. Gosh, she's so rude and
I'm gonna leave. There's just lines of code composed like this is. And
it's just like and and I'm sure too soul. It just looks like you'd
be like, yeah, but you had a tablet. Looks like an ed
M concert, just like kill Out, Go away. Uh and uh,
in fact you all do wow that that combat was a thing. Um,
I need to know what you do with the body. I'm gonna use using
my super syndicate assassination knowledge. I'm going to basically clean up in the bathroom
just so that I can observe the outfit, the type of armor. You
know. I'm gonna basically like pull not optopsy him, but more like a
equipment optopsy to see what kind of hardware he's bringing. Um, you basically
just wrote them they're wearing some kind of specialized Yeah, that's what you do.
You you check them for stuff. They don't have a whole lot.
This one had had dura knife on them, Um, a stunt grenade and
a vulcan carbine, though they never wielded their guns. Uh. The armor
is some kind of armor suit that has been altered to look more. Uh,
it's underneath all these layers of like row wrapped pieces of cloth so that
it doesn't look like that kind of armor. Okay, yeah, I'm just
gonna put all I'm not gonna take like loose it per se, but I'm
gonna disarm everything, put it aside, and I'm looking for a specific anything
like weird. There is nothing. Even if you take their gloves off.
Their fingerprints are burned clean. So they are they human like they are human.
They are human. This looks like just a dude. Uh, nothing
in particular that sets you off. They when you remove the helmet, it's
almost disappointing. I guess I'll just strip them and just kind of organize all
of its equipment in the bathroom floor. You begin organizing. Lumar takes the
evening to clean up the blood, and before it's all over, which she
comes to your soul as you're kind of maybe even read like putting the gloves
and things back on, like, I don't know what you do with all
of it other than take their weaponry. But um Lumar comes in and she
says, I know what to do with the body. What you may not
like it, do you can try me wait wait wait wait wait wait wait
wait, we have the I alerted the police. You alerted the police,
Yeah, we got if they're going to come here and find all these bodies,
yeah, yeah, us with their assassins. It's okay, we we
didn't do anything wrong here what but I'm not And she kind of looks around.
She does not like the idea of the police coming on board the ship
and seeing all of this. She seems to think that's a bad idea.
Please, it's Town's dad. I don't I don't know, I don't,
I don't know who that is, dinner with him? And then there's a
d a kind of the front door. Are we have a doorbell our spaceship
upgrade? I'm pretty sure that's a downgrade. It's still like, you know,
a calm screen, but it kind of like you, yeah, the
door, you turn those the big screen on and it is the judicator that
you know so well, Kasharety, Can I like go out close to Laanar
and ask her, like, why are you freaking out? I'm not freaking
out? Um, okay, I'm not freaking out. You're okay with us
giving the body to the authorities. Fine, it's fine. Souls is super
confused, like, she's fine, it's fine. I didn't want the body
anyways, and she kind of walks off in a little bit of a tantrum.
What the buck answered the door, it's Kasha. They stand there and
they said, your father sent me, said there was a problem. We
got a very high in security code that said that the ship was under attack.
I pocketed all the weapons by way to say yeah, I kind of
look around. They don't see anything. Are you okay? Yeah, we're
we're okay now. Um, but yeah, we did get a an intruder
or several. I'm guessing you have dealt with them. Would you like me
to dispose of the bodies. Yeah, that's probably a good idea. Um.
The door closes behind them. They walk in. They see Soul actively
talking to Lamar, who's like storming way. It's like, fine, I
don't want the body anyways, and she like because she tries to close your
door, which is no longer a door because you bursted Okari I'd left,
and she's like ohh and she goes and flops down on her bump. Actually,
no, you probably here start cleaning glass up. She's gonna she'll clean
up the men bab I look at the dude case be like see it's it's
in there and I'm gonna walk away. They look at the body and note
it. They boot boop something into their arm. Are there anymore? Malika
is just looking back and forth between Tal and Kasha. It's like, uh,
is anyone gonna are we gonna tell them? Okay, so we got
attacked. I set you a thing, I got it. Did you get
the surveillance footage? I did? There were three of them, wonderful.
The other two jumped into space and exploded themselves with the saw. It great.
What the hell? We will look into it. I do not want
answers for you at the moment, and you leave in t minus four hours.
Oh, I do have some new information. I investigated the seller as
we least spoke, and it does seem that there is a trafficking problem.
They seem to be moving them into these large containers, and then from these
large containers into small pods that they are jettison down to the surface of Kula.
Is there anyway to get a track on where those pods are ending up?
Yes, we have tracked them. I can send you the coordinates directly
to the vessel, at least the last few. That'll be good it'll help
narrow our search down, and we were essentially going to have to manually search
for who knows what it's true. Well, good luck to you. I
will assure that this is taken care of. And he they kind of hopped
the body up, and what are the time? What the are we fucking
what? And Malika is like finally lost it. Okay, we're trying to
investigate, and he like looks and see up the doors closed. We're trying
to investigate these goddamn mysticides. These weren't casual murderers. Are you kidding me?
Look at the gear they had, I could counterhacked. You know how
many times they've encounterhacked to that level of skill? Never times. This is
not a regular outfit. Those were like assassins. Yeah, well apparently they
were really shitty ones too, because look at what happened to them. Figure,
I feel your frustration. It is visceral. I pop my head out
of the medic. Should we be concerned? Is rolie everything. We're just
gonna just keep organizing the beakers. You're fine, dose. They attacked all
of you. What were they here for? Believe uncharacteristically quiet, he does,
So they just attached you for no reason. Yes, yeah, I'm
gonna roll that. Manipulate there. Uh yeah, you can roll it.
Okay, cool, cool, cool, little let me remove this computer bonus.
Uh manipulation the pail one success, Okay, they go. It does
seem odd that assassins such as this would simply roll into a private docking station
and simply attack your vessel and you for no reason in the spire of all
places. Whatever it is you're trying to hide, fie, but I cannot
do my investigation and answer the questions that plague you until you are honest with
me. I just need you to honestly find out who the hell attacked our
ship with this level of gear. Oh that is very, very expensive.
I will do the best that I can, but I cannot do it here
with his body dripped over my shoulder. Fair point. I will send you
the coordinates of the last drop pod evacuation from the similar Good luck on Kula,
I'll see you when you return. Thank you. They spin away with
the body and leave. Lamara comes out and goes, who's that the police?
Oh, it's our friend Tie As the door like the camera cuts to
mer you've been out on the external piece of the ship unless you chose to
come in and witness all this. No, no, he's fixing the ship
and probably just standing there for a while, no problem. Fixing a single
bent plate is like making mac and cheese and ain't nothing. So you bend
it back, put it in place, even maybe try to wipe off some
of the soot from the drone explosion on the exterior, trying to make it
nice for tall again. And as you finish it, maybe you take a
moment to look at your work and just out into space. There you see
the kind of crescent shape of what you can in your own eyesight of Kua,
your destination with only a few hours swear, and you see something you
kind of squint a little bit, maybe even the camera on your suit can
like suit in as you kind of pin in on it, you see about
five or six small pods like coffins on their way down to Kua. They
look to have been possibly ejected from the bottom of Coriolis, and as they
literally fall to the planet's surface, they light fire on the edges as they
pass into the atmosphere. Is that a normal thing? No? Morning eventually
comes. It's time for you all to get up. The cabins have been
cleaned, the glasses gone, the body handled, and it is your time
to line up for your exit to Kua. And as two pulls the ship
into the line, waiting on your turn to leave. Of course, coup
is a very busy planet, a message comes over the intercom for Tao.
As you literally are next in line. A voice simply says, Coriolis to
the Defiant, Coriolis to the Defiant, Captain Tao, Tomb of the Defiant.
We are sorry to inform you we are going to have to postpone you're
leaving for Kua. You must wait for another vessel to leave. First priority
has been upgraded, yours downgraded. Confirmed clicks off, You see your ship
loop down the list and a kind of corrupted code. Uh, basically a
hidden name for whatever is more important than you pops up what was basically a
countdown on your ship. You were all buckled in. Uh, you all
heard it. Coriolists call over and say you're now on a wait list.
As soon as the comms go off, I say, Molla, can you
find me that name? I have three more dice to roll and that sorry
hold on, yeah, it's about to say make sure you do that,
I will take the darkness mons if you want, I forget yea, I
will give you a darkness point. Um I might, I might give you
several proud to successes you again hacking away. It takes you a minute,
but what you managed to do is like decode the name. This is a
private vessel carrying a medical emergency. Joe har Kassar is being moved to the
monolith on Correolis for extreme medical watch. It seems that he has fallen ill
over the last few hours and they cannot or will not treat him your on
correoliss it is his ship that is ahead of yourcy So Malik types away like
almost typing before tal even had to ask, and then hits the button and
then whoop it like hollow crowns up on the screen. It says that was
the last guy to see the emissary alive. Tell you of the last person
to visit Kassar was the child. Yeah, he can go down to the
monolith. He's had a bad night and as all of you probably convene around
the cockpit watching as this ship pulls in front of yours, putting you just
one more step away from your final destination of Kula. As I see the
ship by just middle finger just out and middle follows the ship, allows the
ship as it takes off and launches towards Kula, and then you all see
it something else falling from the bottom of Coriolis down to the surface. One,
two, three more pots fall ignite in the atmosphere, almost hidden by
the leaving vessel ahead of yours. So you will wait in line one more
week until you were able to leave for cool sound of a bitch. So
I'll leave this fucking station. There was nothing we could do. I mean,
this is Dot's revenge for us hanging out of humber Roof so long.
Now we get to hang out on Correolis. I used I used quite a
few darkness points to night. Yeah, Mike gave it right back. Actually,
I still ended. I started with twelve and I ended with ten.
So even with the gang I'm lost, losing, we still ended out.
We're chipping them away, really chip away. I'm gonna make a new card
though, because well this was an episode. Guys had a minimum. This
was an episode. Shit, okay, okay, all right, here we
are, this is this happened? Uh We've only been played for thirty minutes,
keep going. Yeah, let's yeah, yeah, you know a weekly.
Yeah, it's only seven thirty here of daylight saving. I wish I
could happen. Void is an Unmade gaming production and a proud member of the
