Arise minions, and welcome to this Unmade Gaming production. Joined 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 were about to listen to, was originally a livestream actual
play on twitch dot tv slash Onmade Gaming. Arise, Minions, and welcome
to on made Gaming. We're here for space. That was that was confusing,
just generic space because we don't know what space game it is. Apparently,
I mean, is literally happening like in the next asteroid belt. Yeah,
that's true. Which is the thing, Like, it's the same no
sound, no sound, no sound, there's definitely sound. I don't know
what to tell you, guys. There's on my end. I hear it.
Yeah, you guys, it's YouTuber. God, damn it. I
know how to three kind of he's testing us. Yeah, it's fine.
This is another episode. Yeah, this is it. All of my streams
are practice. This is another episode. Avoid We're here for more space and
annigans. We took a little bit of a hiatus, but we're back,
babies, uh and as always, if you like we do here and you
want some more of the channel, the best way to do that is by
clicking on the pageon link down below and pledging at the five or ten dollars
tier. The ten dollars has the best stuff. And if you're while you're
down there, hit that discord button. Join us over there. Be a
part of the conversation, be a part of the community. And as always,
in the bottom right hand corner you will see the corruption bar. That
bar serves two purposes. One is when that bar fills dot gets through the
hell she wants to us. And two, every single dollar that goes into
that bar goes back to these wonderful, amazing faces that you see here before
you spaces today, not faces, well space faces space with that dot take
us into space space all right, y'all, we had two weeks off,
like shaking off the cobwebs and the cold from floating in space. Is that
too soon because it actually happened? Wow? Okay, so sorry that was
me, wasn't it all right? Last time we met this DAFT crew.
The most important thing to note is that they were being honored at a banquet
for their DAFT mission to the Uharu system where they were retrieving information on the
lost the other half of the lost Zephear A vessel. They were the only
ones to survive. The icons looked over them, and they were honored at
a big old banquet on Chrio lists. This drew a lot of attention their
way. They had a lot of people propose different kinds of patronage. Uh
There was some let's say, what's the word I'm looking for? Threat seems
harsh. There were some quid pro quoes, and some leveraging that happens,
political leveraging that happened regarding their vessel safety, and of course Tameir's big secret
about the chip in his head. But our crew had to make a choice,
and they did with no help from Charity, the news reporter who had
a change of heart at the end, thanks to the crew, specifically Alia,
rescuing her from the mob events that broke out at this banquet, from
the differentiating political views of the Order and the Consortium. But your chosen patron,
the Dragon Knights had your back and provided some refuge for you. And
you know what, because because it seems all too apropos as you know,
we watch you leave this death exit your vessel squeeze as a fiant puts its
big old heine ray through the tiniest little hole as it squeezes out the other
side. Uh huh of Coriolis. Uh that Mike's face is what I was
supper Yep, it's out the other side. Uh uh Uh. They have
found refuge now in the asteroid belt. That talent Tamir would spend weeks on
end uh At mining for material and resources specifically to help to but but also
make a little extra cash on the side, and it seemed like the ideal
place to hide out since you know, they can't actually make a jump right
now, so they're kind of stranded inside of the Kuas system. But you
have been floating for probably a day and a half. You've been like on
solid travel. Uh. You don't think that you've been followed, and you
were told that she'd be contacted when time was right. And as you kind
of sit in empty space, small asteroids tinking on the outside of the ship,
it sounds like a light hail on the inside as you float constantly into
space. The radio, or I guess you could say hud TV broadcasts a
news station. If I remember correctly. All of you now have a dedicated
television station. Yeah, yeah, yeah, Charity has wasted no time.
Uh. And the first show up is called, uh, it's just called
The Bachelorette. And the woman who is starring on it very clearly looks like
Alia. It's not Alia, but very clearly is as close as they could
find. She's definitely not as tall or as graceful as I say Alia probably
is, but she's She's like the b version of Alia. And this is
definitely a reality television show, a reality television Yeah. And you watches this,
this woman who is very clearly not Alia, but is being paid probably
a lot of bird to be here along with all of the other people I'm
not even gonna just say men, other people that surround the Bachelorette. Of
course, it is hosted by none other than Charity herself. Doc. I
would like to say that while on the Defiant here, though it pains Malik
that the exist, that this channel alone exists, he finds it funnier.
He finds it more funny than painful that the other crew is the rest of
the rest of the crew is so pained about it. So anytime there's a
show that is specifically supposed to be one of them. All of the calm
stations across the ship play that show unless Tal hacks it back. Okay,
then you hear Charity's voice back voice, and imagine it comes on just a
little bit. You're used to it by now, you've been floating for at
least a day or two. And she comes on just long enough to say,
and who will she get the rooms too? And twhits that button,
yeah hard as it puts it back out, you hear it. Come on
now moving forward, I promised Yan and your own a new show this show.
This week we get the Bachelorette on Channel Defiance. I don't know that
is totally watching this ship. You heard come on from the break room and
it's to me or and Malik in the yeah, in the church, and
she's just trying to meditate, and you just see her like anytime that comes
on, you just see, especially the one about the bachelor bachelorette. Why
would you pick him? He's no good for you. Lamara is there with
you in full force. I know, right, that's the worst one.
I like Jawad, he's like the best guy and like I mean, he's
he's a looker, Oh can you come? Hey, hey, it needs
your opinion. This goes on at least for a little bit until somebody either
turns the channel off or it ends. Do you let it play through or
do you turn it off before the show is complete? This is supporter,
Oh I mean and Tamir let it play in the in the eve if an
opportunity. Tamir didn't watch entertainment, didn't have entertainment back on Alcahol and the
three years on Coriolis, he had his nose in digital books. So he
is eating up garbage TV. You are like a South Asian mom right now.
You are after opens a food for everybody like so that like they're like
they could like eat and snack and yeah yeah, okay, camera forty eight
hours. It takes you. Uh, the Defiant channel never has turned off.
You're gonna watch some reruns to start. But at the but the but
the Bachelorette is ongoing. It's a daily, ongoing thing. And as it
comes to an end, Charity of course is like, who would have thought
that that bachelor was going home? Well, we'll have to find out next
week. Who's stolen the Bachelorette's heart? Uh, it's waved goodbye Talia.
Oh no, and Talia waves goodbye. She doesn't really say a whole lot.
She's very clearly there because she looks like Alia and Charity pans back to
the camera and she says, and make sure to tune in next week,
same defiant time, same Defiant channel, as we're introducing a new show,
My Doctor the Girlfriend. It was only a matter of time. Actually here
at that point, Alia like at the background from the way back to start
laughing. Sally, set the reminder, Please setting reminder, Sally, do
remind me reminding Alia as well. You see the camera like looks down to
the leak and he slides the switch like the like a like an iPhone switch
to off on his tabula, and uh, it just turns off all the
tickers that are using the hashtag to vote for the Bachelorette winner. He just
had a bunch of bots just spamming the hashtag to increase the votes for the
woman he wanted. She did Charney in three days time, watched Early New
Channel. She has a lot of resources behind her. Y'all have a fan.
You should really take that under consideration. It's a hashtag. Joalia is
the is the hashtag for Jawad and Alia Allia Dahlia. Yeah, but you
got it, you got it. You clip off some letters there, you
know. And do you see the like broadcast, because I mean it's not
a twenty four hour station. You get that like commercial run that starts up
in between UH and all of you see a couple of things as the propaganda
or as the news picks up, it seems that a new series of ads
are being run across the third horizon that seemed to be a lit of propaganda
driven surprise, surprise, And while you're watching it, let's see can yeah
perfect, Okay, great, I want to make sure I have what I
need? Okay, yeah, you hear you hear the TV go boo and
the like UH bars like the bar. I don't know why we're gonna go
old school, it's this retro shit. The colored bars pop up, UH
and there's like static that comes over as something tries to like tune in,
and you see that the main UH station begins to fade out, and in
its place is just a simple image. It says three words, the red
spider. It has this kind of logo image of a kind of an iconographic
Spider. It's not like hyperrealistic, and you hear a voice say, we
interrupt this schedule broadcast with breaking news. After a series of flats, the
Order has finally according to our reports, the Monastery Cruiser arrived in Kua about
an hour ago with her weapons hot the Legion's fleet protecting the leaders of the
Horizon from lunatic attacks like this neutralized the Thread and thanks to swift and decisive
action against Adriana Derevin, the Council is an emergency negotiations of her retaliations and
eventual second strikes. False rumors and opportunistic propaganda spreads from rem world reach by
the Corsair Queen known as the Red Spider, and then you hear that echo
Red Spider, Red Spider, as if they're using effects over the radio broadcast.
The Red Spider risk escalating the conflict farther and until we know more,
the Colonial Agency advises all free traders and dignitaries to refrain from visiting Zalos and
to avoid contact with the Order without military aw The calm goes off and the
broadcast like this back up as if it takes back. Over is Charity's face
and she's selling shampoo or something in this commercial best SuDS in space and it
still keeps crackling, but the broadcast doesn't seem to be pushing through. Um
leak. Yeah, that wasn't me. Ah Cow was in her room working
out and trying to drown out the noise of Charity's voice with music. It's
probably some angry metal or something space metal listening to trying to to drown out
the voice of Charity. So she missed all that. Yep, who did
hear? And I guess that's really just the brothers then I guess Lamara probably
did. Yeah, she was in there with us, right, he stops
my show? What's going on? She talked her with the whole thing,
the shows whatever. That's that's pretty bad, right, yea printy bad.
But why are we picking up a signal of it? I mean, I
would assume it was a hacked broadcast. I don't know you're you're the hacker.
Okay, let me try that again. It was a hacked broadcast.
It's pirate airwaves. It's kind of old school, but it might be the
easiest to communicate though. I mean, if the bulletin posts all this stuff
anyway and it beams out to pretty much everyone that has a signal. It's
pretty simple to hijacket just why. It's just as either track whoever did it
from the bullet in side and well can you check not the first time I
hacked the bulleting. Hold on, I'm gonna try to uh to hack the
bullet and trace that. Now listen, class, am I're gonna have to
take your chalk from you. Yeah, okay, yeah, okay, what
am I? Yeah, you can try to hack it, roll up the
data so I to play my own devil's advocate. We're not at a station,
we're not planet side, We're not you are floating in what I would
I encourage minus because we're not directly like uh, we're kind of like like
hopping a couple of I would say, you are quite a distance away.
So go ahead and take uh yeah, I mean you can roll and see
if you get a success. Okay, because this is also an isolated broadcast,
this is not coming. Let's get your role first and then I can
tell you because we how difficult it is on what you get out of it,
because you may roll a couple of successes and then critical success, see
what I mean, jelly baby, critical critic, Jesus, hold, let
me let me just take let me just take these back out guns away.
That's the show yourself. Okay, well my really I thought I tried.
I tried to give you the big critical Okay, you really feel about Okay,
so you you It takes for a second, you try to track it
backwards. The good news is this is a radio broadcast, not a tell.
It like a signal, like a different kind of broadcast signal, and
you're able to pick it up out of all of the kind of mess.
It takes a little extra Uh. You might even have to mirror, uh
like boosts think here or boost something there. The signal seems to be on
the move. It is in this system. It is in Kua, but
it doesn't seem to be stationary. It is quite a ways from you.
Uh, it's gonna be probably on the far side of Kua. Uh near
Jenna. Is about what you managed to track, which from where you're at
is a multi day's journey, just so that you kind of know. But
it seems to be hailing from a vessel. Uh. You kind of run
the h the ship is unmarked. Uh. The ship that you try to
run it against seems to be unmarked, or at least the way that you
may like burn cereal numbers off car, which tells you it's probably a pirate
vessel of some kind of Corsair group. Hmm, yeah. Uh. And
they seem to be broadcasting outside of any like scheduled channel or radio airwaves.
And what they're doing is they're just kind of writing other people's broadcast, so
when it reaches a peak, they'll tap into it, use that, and
then hop to another one. Do you want to do anything else with the
four critical success? I should ask if there's something else you'd want to achieve
other than information you are muted. I don't think beyond information. I think
that's it. I mean, is this just like a like a like a
wide band broadcast is just going out to anyone who can receive It's not like
specifically it seems like they're pinging it, right, So, like charity show
was at peak viewership kind of a thing, so they pinged into her network
station and used it, and then maybe that stage she like took it over
and kicked them out, and so they're just pinging is like pinging it's like
so they're finding anywhere they can Now if you wanted to try to bring their
signal back in, you could successfully do that because it seems that they weren't
stopping the broadcast. They were just gonna keep going. They're just riding other
people's airwaves. Okay, so they're doing some like I robot shit. Okay,
What I would like to do, don if I could, is is
tune to that frequency so that I have something on the ship that's constantly receiving
that frequency. Hop set interesting. Okay, that way, if they make
any broadcast, I want to I want to hear it. Basically, what
you do is you set up a proper radio station like receiving signal for this.
You connect the two and you're like, at ninety nine point one,
we get this broadcast at all points as long as it's within range, as
I would say, as long as it stays within kula, you'll be able
to maintain this signal. And when you bring it up, and if you
turn it back up, you do hear that that whoever was on the other
side of the radio is still talking. It seems that, like I said,
this is like an open station. They're they're just broadcasting. Interesting.
Is a woman's voice and she says, She's like, you're turning into red
Spider pirate radio. I'm here to tell you that Emma Hallet, a ship
on a peaceful rescue mission to liberate Zelosian citizens from oppression on Coriolis and Kua,
is now used in the most vile way by the Xyanithian information war machine.
The truth is actually this Coriolist or Third Horizon. The Legion fired first.
In doing so, destroyed a ship with a proud lineage, an historical
treasure coming into peace. Captain Arianna Darwin is no hero. She is a
war monger. She and the rest of Ramara's cruise should face war. Cried
typringal Cock and it her and it kind of comes back in. This is
our say, this is the truth. You believe the propaganda that they spill
forth out of Coriolis, the ones that seek to subjugate Governor Dargocian. If
you believe them, you are as stupid as they say you are. The
Order of the Paria is not behind these events. They lie to you.
Yesterday's evening's banquets were torn amok by a by a riot. More importantly,
this morning, they would tell you that sister Almus was unseated, when in
fact she was murdered. There's silence on the other end of the radio.
That's that's worse. Yep, yeah, that's yeah, that's like, that's
like the that's like the Zelosian Civil Wars spilled out to the red everyone.
Yeah. Could any have this be heard to any other part of the imagine
unless Malik did not mean for it to, he could have broadcast it through
the calms over the vessel. I don't think he would have thought to,
because it played through the TV in the cafeteria, So if you could hear
that TV, you could hear it. But but Tal did. Aris did't
say that. Tal disconnected the whole. All the stations, all the all
the TVs in this in the ship were playing Who Wants to Date Alia?
So I would say it's only the one unless you're secretly unless you would like
to admit that right now in the temple, you're secretly a fan of Who
Wants to Date Alia? And you were actually watching it and then you totally
hear it. Would would you like to admit that? Yeah? Okay,
just as see if I can make that fand real quick. I think she
just heard you guys, yelling and not the actual content. So when it
goes quiet, I think she just assumes that you guys finally turned it off
and just kind of just continues her meditation. Sure, I get it.
Huh, good man, I don't do we tell someone about this? Yeah?
I like, I mean we could tell to track a night. Uh
you know what, hold on a second. I need If you repeat this,
I swear to God, I'll punch you in the head. I need
morality. And he like hits the button and he says, hey, uh,
the crew of the Defiant. Uh, I think Zalos is in a
civil war with the a hegemony. We should talk about it. I guess
listen four seasons Maleek hasn't asked for help. So, like, I mean,
in the distance, you hear the music, the faintly, faintly playing
music turn off. When when the commas go on and it comes back briefly
and then turns off again. Uh, how comes out kind of sweating in
our workout? Close? What do you want me to do about a civil
war? Like we said, no, thank you, We don't want to
align ourselves with you. Yeah. No, we got a broadcast, a
pirate broadcast from the Zelosians and basically war is secretly raging all over the coup
A sector. So we're in it. We're in the where that's where we
are. Yeah yeah. Also uh as as far as I know, that's
that's where all of the clues we have are. Also, well, I
guess we have more ships that we have to dodge that we were kind of
already dodging in the first place. I think the the whole thing here is,
uh, don't get caught by anybody. Yeah, yeah, by anybody
though, like right, yeah, yeah, okay, I think uh.
At this point, Alio kind of also walks in and kind of uh says,
I do agree with with our captain that at this point we ourselves might
not have much power to do anything about this, but is there in chance
we can forward this to someone who can? Uh? It was kind of
broadcast the whole It was broadcast everywhere. A right, well, did you
get a trans copy of the transmission? Dot? Yep. Anyways slides the
thing and plays it back. So for that tom our new patrons, Yeah,
for that society, and that way, just in case they missed it
somehow, at least we got him a copy, okay, Yeah, and
he like you hear like the tapping sound across the table, and he encrypts
it and sends it. I assume they have like a team of hackers,
right, So I assume that they've set up some kind of anonymous drop box
situation where he just sends documents or he sends stuff digitally. I would assume
that given who they are, it seems like a good assumption. Yeah,
it's Lamar. Actually, that's like she she like keeps clicking it down and
she finally she goes it won't come back on, and then she clicks it
and finally they're like boo and the news from courial lists not this kind of
pop back up over the static, and she looks very excited that she got
it back on. And you can see there is like a pretty standard lady,
she says. Shortly after the death of Council or almost there are reports
of a fire spreading at the sanatorium Live from the Core. Our reporter writer
Turlington knows more and it cuts to old writer Turlington, you're like n PR
guy that replaced Charity and he says, thank you, Jabal. What we
are seeing now is people left with nothing after the misdicides. Taking the law
into their own hands. As of late, Governor Dargosian's office has been accused
of not taking the situation seriously enough, thus resulting in the murder of Sister
Almos and the recent riots in the core. The fire at the sanatorium appears
to have spread from the main building to the gardens, and fire suppressant drones
are on site to prevent the flames from reaching the spire. The judicators have
dispersed the rioters, but casualties are near three figures, and Sister Rabwa,
head of the sanatorium, is in talks with the governor about potential No.
I was listening to that mark kind of like banks. The it disappears again.
How to break down that way? Get together? Dot? Sorry,
I'm reading girls private chat though I love it and I hate it. I
know I make them for y'all. I make them for y'all. Ryder Turlington's
uh like smooshy uh you know, uh, chalky white man face disappears uh
in the static right yeah right, you know his uh and uh We're left
again with static between the signal that Malik is trying to pick up and the
one that should actually be coming through the station. But it seems that maybe
this pirate broadcast, the one from the Red Spider, has either ended or
is on some kind of loop. You're not currently getting any kind of information,
so UH needing to avoid people, we should probably debug this ship any
way we possibly can. I know Joey said he got it, but it's
probably a good idea while we're sitting on this rock to double check. Also,
any way to change our identity on here, like the ship call sign.
Yeah, yeah, I mean I can. I can change the ship
identifier I can't remove Okay, so I can change the ship identifier here.
When we go to dock places, they won't have our stuff because we're too
far away from uh space station, So we'd have to get closer for me
to make fake information in the system so that they can see yes and no,
it is the answer. I guess we could do it more mechanically,
Alia, if you don't mind assisting me, we can go out on the
ship in whatever spare metal we have, can just kind of do some cosmetic
upgrades so that it doesn't quite Yeah, but you still need to it's like
a digital handshake. You still need to transmit your code. They need to
receive the codes and then then you can dock. If you don't have that,
they won't let you dock. Yes, but once we dock, people
know what the ship looks like. You kind of need a new code of
paint. Yeah both, okay, Yeah, Alia, I'm not sure what's
going on, but we can't hear you. It just looks at him and
goes as long as that. No big tubes and straw like things, and
a prison is not involved anymore. I'm fine coming out, just did not
fancy the last time. Don't worry. We're just really on a rock.
This is the same place we landed last time we were out. I'm I'm
up when Yeah, all right, yeah, molliek I. I know that
it can be done. I've never been successful at it myself, but you're
better than me at data jin. He's clicking furiously on his tablet and you
see he's trying to open a recorder wrapp and it did not open fast enough.
Yeah, I'll give it a shot. I can help you. I
know how the records on this ship go. Yeah. The goal is to
write you all knew identities, just the ship, so you know how you
transmit your ship codes to the station and then they check it off. So
we need a new So you want a new ship code. You want it
to be legit though, you want like not a fake with or a legit
ship code. Yeah, okay, Yeah, you can roll a datagen off
Talis helping you. You can take a plus one. You have datagen as
a skill, right, yes, correct, great one success is all you
need. It's gonna take some time, and you know that rewriting ship codes
is not easy, and really what you're actually doing is like running a series
of numbers and letters against an outside database without trying to be noticed until they
line up and access something. And then you're gonna basically claim somebody else's number.
Yeah, I would say this is something that he's probably done in service
to the Space buy back when he was working for Yes, it's a new
IP address. You're going to do is take somebody's IP address in essence or
like your codes for the CLI or the So it's gonna take some time.
Database of like recently destroyed ships, can we just copy recently destroyed ships or
one or like unaccounted for vessels right that may have been lost, like there
were a lot of specifically a lot of ships that were lost in uhrru right,
So there may be like a way for you to claim some of those.
So you start kind of making this process happen, but it is an
extended process and the code to actually make that happen is going to take some
time. And you can see the computers begin kind of scrolling the screen as
it seems that everything is in order. But once again, some of this
is just a waiting game. And as you as you sit here waiting,
it's actually Sally that comes over fatten, Yeah, I have received a signal.
It seems to be beating frankly for us, some kind of strength sonar.
Yes, a very old use of radio waves bousing from its to us.
It seems to have no life. In fact, it doesn't even seem
to be a ship. Can I get a visual on it? Mm hmm,
There is no visual at the moment. It seems lost in the degree.
But I can feed you the summer. You can tell it gets close,
it's beginning to get closer. What should I do, Kevin? Mm
hmm, I already got cloaking on. Uh. It seems like it's coming
straight for us. It seems that way. It seems to be using to
find our location. There any true idea code coming from it? Where did
I see? From what I can tell, it seems to be unmarked.
The average vessel would think that it's just a bree It is coming into range
the cameras and she pulls Sally kind of pulls it up and you can see,
Uh, it's kind of more like the like green line hud dyed like
scan of space around. You can see there's like the big asteroid you're hiding,
kind of floating and hiding behind it. There's the need to beat the
green blip. And every time the sonar like you can see it, and
it's getting closer and closer and closer, and it's kind of floating directly towards
you told you want us to attempt an open line of communication. I guess
so Sally interpret the broadcast in broadcasts, there's kind of a moment you can
hear the like ship. You can hear Sally. She begins to kind of
try to process it and bring it in. Are you wanting to keep your
distance or do you want to actually bring the object in to the best I'll
mean, you have a it's a junk you have like junk arms and stuff.
This is what you and to me or we're doing, so it's up
to you. Uh uh. At first, I want to kind of keep
my distance until I have a better idea if it's gonna hurt my ship or
not. What? Yeah, for sure, exactly, Yeah, okay,
I would tell no at all what this could be. Hmmm. I mean
based on like the image of it that the imaging of it that's kind of
coming up the closer it gets, it does seem to look like some kind
of basic satellite. This is not a ship. It's not going to have
a person on it. This seems to be very old technology, at least
in terms of like the standard like people don't use satellites like this anymore to
like orbit planets and things like that. That's just not the kind of check
this that that is is used frequently. It doesn't mean that it's not out
there, but it just seems odd. And because this is older tech,
something like this serves usually one single purpose, right, which is that it
could be carrying information. It could be connecting you directly with someone like it
could be like another rate like a broadcast, as you mentioned, There's a
few options, but okay, uh, I guess let's bring it in so
you can figure out what it is. Kind of kind of afraid do that
though, Can I just listen? I hate to keep being this guy,
But the last time we all just said what if we just bring it in,
it was a giant idol and it summoned evil space dogs and I had
to vent part of the ship. Yeah, and then the time before that,
it was a child who was a gym. Maybe we don't just bring
random things on the ship. It's your ship. But I'm just playing Devil's
advocate here. Perhaps I could do and what one of us can go outside?
Who would be able to identify this object? That sounds worse now.
I mean it's a matter of we ignore it or we identify it. And
if we're afraid to bring it onto the ship, the best option would be
to tether ourselves and go outside to verify, particularly if it's providing some sort
of a signal, you know what. Hold on a second and he slides
over like his computer terminal dot as the comms officer on the ship, is
this thing moving towards us? Can I like see, like, what what
are the sensors saying about this thing? Yeah? So what you're given is
basically a simulated map of the area, right, a three dimensional map which
has been given to you by Sally. You can see all of the asteroids
and where you're looking, you can see this this little blip loop loop.
Every time it solnars out, it does seem to be headed towards your ship
specifically as if you know the way sonar works, it like pings you and
then it gets closer right, like it can it finds what it's looking for
based on that pang, and so that is where it's it's headed. You
can tell it's in terms of size. You kind of finally get dimentions from
Sally. It's been able to scan it. Uh, it's about the size
of what we would consider remotor cycle basically, but it's like it's got a
dish on it, right, and a bunch of like pieces and parts that
have kind of been welded on. It looks a little makeshift. Hmmm.
You know what, Actually, either one of you, I guess you could
roll the data gen if you wanted, but really this is a science role
or a technology roll of some kind to find out like because this is really
really old tech, so TMIR you might be able to I was gonna say
if we have a visual on it. Yeah, now you have a visual,
a visual, Okay, you want science or it's the same thing I
would take. I would take either one science or technology. Hey here you
go right on technology. Great, so you would know again it's not a
ship. This is not a ship. Technology like this in terms of what
you know, Malik is very outdated. It's not used anymore because it can
even process the kind of data that is sent now it's that's just uh,
it doesn't support that. But to mirror Tamir, you would have in school
learned about some of this older technology. I mean you studied the portals themselves,
even though that is considered rather advanced, but you studied the history of
technology from humans throughout the time of the Third Horizon, even maybe a little
before. Satellites like this we're used for various things, but oftentimes they are
repurposed to carry a certain amount of data and can in this case be triggered
to deliver said information. It's almost like a package in some way. The
problem is, of course, the time it often takes that package to be
delivered, whether or not it actually makes it where it's going, and who
trusts sonar anymore. That's very old school, Like, yeah, I'm kind
of with Alia on this. If anything, we could just retrieve it and
see what sort of data is available. It's incredibly old. They just don't
use this technology is obsolete. I mean, it's almost ancestral at this point.
If anything, that makes me more concerned about bringing it onto the ship,
simply because can you humor me for a second and like reverse thrust and
just back it out? I'm sorry, right, Okay, sure, I
mean Sally has easy Sally can back the ship up without now having to take
control. But I just want to see it if it's floating in space or
if it's floating towards us. Oh, Sally has confirmed it is definitely floating
towards you. Yeah, it's floating towards us. Yeah. But we're also
stationary, so anything we're not stationary. You we're on an asteroid. You're
floating in a belt? Yeah, it isolating in a belt. Right,
we're floating in the belts or stationary. We're not driving through the belt,
is what I'm saying. So we're still moving because the belt is moving.
The belt is stationary. We're just like I said, Sally has confirmed it
is actively moving towards It is actively moving towards you as the sonar pings out.
It's like not pinging for asteroids's pinging for your vessel. Yeah. If
it's moving towards this, then something's controlling it. That's not how sonar works.
Yeah, and we're waiting for instructions from a new patron who uses artifacts.
I just emailed them they could just use. Yeah, and you also
know that, like there's literal Civil War board chorials at the moment, stuff's
burning, the sanatorium is on fire. There's a lot going on, dramatic
to send it. I'm like, it's good. Sally just grab a hold
of it when it gets close, and let's bring it close to the ship
and get the information from it. Yes, and you can hear. There's
like a moment the sonar gets ever closer, ever closer, and Sally feeds
it through so you can hear, and the pain gets louder, that dank
dank dank gets louder, and eventually you can hear the arm like reach out
into space and metal on metal grabs it. The cargo bay of course,
would depressurize. You would hear Sally saying close satellite. Thanks Sally. All
right, I'll be back. I guess mir go ahead and go down Yeah,
yeah, okay. When you get down there, you see all of
your stuff. Right, the arm is not quite as damaged, shiny and
still has the pain on it. But sitting rights Matt dab over top of
that that door, right, the cargo door where the crane drops out and
grabs things. Is this satellite that has been retrieved. It is definitely a
piecemeal piece of technology. Like you say that, but Tamira's like, this
is incredible. Look how amazing this is. I was gonna see if I
could find a picture, but I'm not. You know what, don I
have a question for you? So first of all, Malik is not in
the cargo bay. He is outside the cargo bay doors, and like if
they open, he closes them and stands and looks through the window. Does
the technology of whatever the hell this thing is look at any like, look
at all similar to anything that was on Io? Is that what it's called
x R oh x R on the Jump planet? Yeah? I yeah,
you would see. Uh you you're you're running a scan from a distance though,
right, you're not putting your physical eyes on. No, he's he's
so he closed the cargo bay door, and I assume there's some kind of
like yeah, yeah, came through that. Yeah. Yes, I would
say it doesn't. I mean that whole place was covered in junk of various
sorts and kinds. But yes, it does look like possibly, you know,
some things could have been. I mean, there was a there was
a pretty ancient ship that he did slide down a mountain on. That's true.
I would say you wouldn't. You would be like, oh, this
satellite comes from that ship, right, That's what far aso specific. This
looks like somebody, like I said, piecemeal this together from other bits and
bobs and sent it out to confine. Got it? Okay, yeah,
okay, okay, just curious. M hm. It looks like somebody took
their like dish on demand dish and like attached to a bunch of junk,
yes, okay, space dish spish spish yes. Uh. And it kind
of now lays on its side. Now that you're this close, uh,
you can actually hear a which of course would be the transponder that's like sending
out the sonar signal. And as if you get close to mirror. Actually,
anybody that's close to it, you would see there is actually a panel
box on it, like attached to the side of it that has the bleeping
like the beeping light and some kind of like handle er like trigger box on
it. You're not sure what it does, but there does seem to be
some extra tech on it. Yeah, I mean, can can to mirror
kind of assass like like make some sort of like tech roll to see like,
Okay, here's this lover? Is it mechanical in nature? And if
it is great, is it connected to this connect Is it a lover?
Yeah, it's kind of like trying to say, I mean, you rolled
a critical earlier on this same satellite. Now that you're putting your eyes on
it, that box is probably gonna hold the data that you were talking about,
right, Like the satellite's just there to put the sonar out. It
seemed to be carrying this box of information. If you hit that trigger,
it's probably going to trigger whatever the message is, which you can imagine is
gonna be sent through some kind of broadcast signal, so you're not gonna hear
it like you're gonna flip the switch and then you're gonna need to pick it
up through a broadcasting signal. Okay, right, does that make sense?
Yeah? Yes, Okay to Mary, will go ahead and and tap his
internal comms. Hey, we're gonna need some sort of receiver. It's a
message of some sort, but it broadcasts. I want people to play and
listen to it. But we need a receiver. Are you able to do?
We even have one that could pick up such old signals? I mean,
like the one I just kind of jerry rigged to make the pirate radio
thing audible. Yeah, yeah, I try that, And why not?
Let me know where here ready to receive activity? So don He holds down
the one button so that he can save the preset for Pirate Radio red Spirate
Radio, and then he switches to two, the second preset, and begins
tuning to try to get whatever to find static essentially whatever whatever frequency this thing
is outputting. Okay, So the first thing we're gonna do is get Well,
you'll need to flip it on, right, Yeah, So I imagine
you get the go from the leak and you kind of turn it on.
Now, there are two ways to do this. You can tap directly into
it, or you can try to pick up this signal into the radio that
your car already have. Is that I'm guessing you're doing the latter, Yes,
great, okay, uh, I'm gonna have your roll. Another data
is in because it's a whole new signal station, right uh. I mean,
in the meantime, while all this is going, I think one of
the things Alia wants to do is just just in case, out of sheer
paranoia, wants to roll for I mean, I want to check if there's
anything mystic related about it, any sort of anything in that sense, simply
because we seem to have a magnet on this ship that attracts all this type
of shenanigans. Making sure you'll say it is uh uh yeah, you could
roll. You could try to concentrate your powers and roll a datagen you're not,
I mean not a datagen a mystic like ability role and see if you
pick up on any strange feelings maybe okay, but yeah, you're welcome to
that. Okay. At A two, you don't pick up on any odd
things. There doesn't seem to be anything strange about this item at all,
other than the fact that like somebody sent it looking for you. Take right,
uh, you flip this like big handle up on it. You see
the light change. It goes from the green blip to now a yellow one.
Uh, and you can see that it's not like beeping like the green
one was at a steady pace. It seems to be like flashing right,
Malik on your end. Uh. You begin to kind of tune in and
you're you're trying to pick this up. The good news is it's a lot
closer right, it's a lot more direct and uh, it shouldn't be too
too hard. You just have to find the right station, basically, and
the static goes for a while until you finally you finally start to pick up
a voice, a voice that you know, the same woman that helped you
your patron. It does seem to be a broadcast, like on a loop.
As she comes through and she says, crew of the Defiant, I
am sorry that I could not speak with you in person. Things here on
Coriolis are difficult, but I have a mission for you. We believe that
whatever has happened in Zallos and the recent civil war breakout has been misguided by
the Nazarene. But we have no proof. We need to prove that the
things that have happened are in fact falsified. If we can that, we
may be able to see some kind of negotiation between the two factions before the
third Horizon tears itself apart. We need you to find an interrogate a Nazarine
agent, find out what they know. We're specifically interested in one set of
events. We understand that the Order sent ahead a cruiser called Imma Hallat,
a monastery cruiser to Kua. It was supposed to bring home refugees, but
unfortunately it was met with an unnecessary barrage of fire from the legions remar destroyer.
It burned in space as it fell to Kua's surface. The Order claims
they sent a peaceful message ahead, so why were they attacked? The Legion
had no reason to destroy a refugee cruiser, but the fact of the matter
is they did. We believe that the Nazarene intercepted somewhere unexpectedly and switch the
message around, but we need proof. Sister Rombui is managing and diffusing the
situation as best she can, but with the storming of Almas's Sweet and the
way that their claiming they beat her into a coma, proves that there is
distaste for the Order of the Priya across the third Horizon in vast quantities.
We believe that they are hiding out inside of the Zallo system. Nothing is
what it seems anymore. You are to go there, you will meet one
of our own who will help guide you. They have been undercover for quite
a while, and hopefully, if all goes well, you will get the
information that we need proof. Ideally, good luck, crew of the Defiant.
I will see you when you return. And the message starts again.
Malik abruptly shuts it off. I'm I'm sorry, no, and he like
looks to everyone else in the cargo bay. No right, no hot we
agreed to do. There is no no. We just told no to everyone
else in Coriola. So I'm pretty sure there is no is an option capture
and interrogate somebody last I checked here and no offense. But nerd, nerd,
shut in, run away? What the hell are we gonna do?
Capture interrogate? Are you kidding me? I specialize in no interrogation methods,
specifically what no, what Yes, I'm just saying that I have a special
I have a specialization in medicines that help people feel comfortable. That's concerning in
a number of ways. There are lots of ways to interrogate someone. No,
I don't want to, I don't don't You could just ask nicely?
Maybe? Right? I agree? Everybody always first goes to violence. Why
can't we just drug them up and ask them nicely? No, or just
ask them? I mean, we seem to be fairly good about finding and
making deals, perhaps even this individual. Yeah, captain, we leave it
to you whatever you wish. I mean, if we piss them off,
then we've pissed off literally everyone in the third horizon. We need to have
at least one friend seem to be in the know. Yeah, they're the
ones that are giving us our freedom so that we can pursue with really needs
to be found. Where were we supposed to go for that? By the
way, that that was Jeoey does not remember. Yeah, what are we
talking about? Where did we actually need to go? We're so close to
zine, But where did we need to go? As far as you okay,
So that that's a great question. You do not currently you are not
in the know as to where the emissaries are, right, so we know.
Just for those maybe tuning in as a happy reminder, there were five
emissaries. They rose from the planet of Zine, which is actually on the
other side of the asteroid belt they're currently in. These five emissaries have claimed
to be five of the icons Incarnate risen right incarnate, one of which our
crew witnessed die so basically gave themselves up in the midst of all of this.
That was the I believe that was actually the Messenger. I might have
made it specific to Sul, so it could have been. But anyways,
there are four more, and they are the moment that they judge. That's
right. I made it the judge because that was the one that Saul was.
That was Seul's icon, so the judge. So there are four more
out there somewhere that are in hiding at the moment. We know that Sholey
has a direct interest in keeping both herself and them safe, so we know
that she's out there also working on sorting out some of that. But you
do not actually know their location, though Alia has heard on a couple occasions
a song right that keeps wasn't Alia. Actually, I think all of you
at some point have maybe even heard it, maybe the rest of the mystics
too, we've all heard it. Yeah, yeah, I think Alia heard
it when I think, wasn't it Lamara who kind of sang it. Oh
yeah, oh yeah, I remember, yeah, right, hearing it talent
r here it as we were approaching the uh place in CoA. Yes,
that's right. Yeah, awesome. We have somebody who is still incredibly soundset
to blood. Did we have blood samples? Just saying I've not forgotten that?
Yep, yep. I'll leave that for another time and date. But
you see that this Malik, because you're really hearing it. Director like the
one managing the I guess dash or calmns of this. The best is placed
three or four times before it it loops three or four times before it stops,
and the three of you standing actually by it. You see the box
itself kind of spits out a data drive of some kind of like it like
spit something out words, grab it and toss it over to leak. Yeah.
This this, uh, this would probably be some additional info. It
is old school data. This is not like a snazzy new thumb drive.
Basically, this is like the difference between a thumb drive and a floppy disc
in essense in terms of like it's date range and like how outdated. It
is. That's the little save button for all you youngins out there. But
like, but like, is it like the floppy floppy disk or like the
more modern like an eight and a half in floppy. Oh no, it's
an icon on in your in your your emails and doc word talk. This
is third Horizon text. So I don't know that the floppy actually exists,
ince that's like centuries old in terms of the human timeline. But this is
like I imagine that it's about yay long, well this big, and it's
really really narrow, and you you have to have a specific piece of technology
to actually use it. But over time that has turned into the like balls,
sticks and stuff that you have that just like quick slot or like beep
right with boop and then things are paid for. You don't have that.
That's not what this is. This needs to go direct into a computer to
be read as soon as hell sees it. She's like, oh, I
aw man, I had one of those readers on the ship before it blew
up and had to be rebuilt. Why it's it was an old ship.
I mean it was state of the europe technology when they got it. Oh
okay, do you think we can perhaps find a place that still sells something
like that, perhaps a junk shop somewhere or an antique store could also try
to make an adapt there of some sort. I might be able to put
one together. It's most of this is all just understanding and translating electricity.
If you give me a bit, might be able to Jerry riggot mirror.
You have a computer in your head? Wow, that's rude. You might
break it down? Oh oh oh yes, what did you just bite it?
This one? Okay? Where do I plug it in? It's the
pink looking one. That's my least favorite favor. I mean you've seen you
saw two bit like tap her herself into like a larger thing. Now she
had the right adapters and stuff. But you you might you might be able
to mirror technically also has an adaptor in his nag. Okay, you're the
doss computer. We desperately need for this one to bear's linux. Are you're
actually efficient? You knowing to mirror? You would be a lytics guy.
You're right, Oh, totally totally you can. There's this uh older piece
of data. Are you able to help assist me trying to retrieve the information?
I can sure try but that's really old. How are you going to
put it in your head? Uh? I might be able to make a
device. I am connected to my port. Okay, well if you if
you plug in, I'll run the data. Okay, give me a little
bit everyone. Okay, you're a roll of technology to actually build something to
put this in that goes into of your choosing. Yeah. So so I
mean so so time your hans uh gear head. Okay, so once he
makes a successful tech test, he can repair or jury rig one used contraption
essentially. Okay, alright, we'll go ahead. Uh. I mean Time
knows the ship enough. He probably leaves for a moment to chun god Mike
to try and uh some spare part. Okay, So, funny thing about
a new ship all you're junk, it's falls good news is you just pulled
in a junk satellite. Oh there has a port on it. So you
may be able to repurpose the junk that you've been given perfect I would love
to do that. With the too limited successes. Maybe there's that moment you're
like, oh, yeah, I got this over here, and you reach
and realize that that whole pile of junk that the average person would think is
just junk that you know, It's like, I keep all those fucking wires,
this fucking three prong fucking wire. Finally know you wouldn't Jesus Lord,
you to me is literally my parents for the record, that's just no.
He also, oh my god, they will never be used. Well,
now you go to rings for it. I would like to point out that
book call and I also have that box. There's a box down there with
a bunch of different wires you need. Do you need a Game Boy color
link cable? No one, it's purple and translissent. I wish I did
that. I would. I'm with KP on this one. Claim you're junk
out, okay, so check out. Well, unfortunately the consortium cleaned it
out for you because when they rebuilt your ships there was no junk, and
that pile of junk is now gone, leaving a very clean, shiny floor
instead. And so you can with the two second that's the fresh technology role,
right yea. So the two success you're like, oh but Doug,
literally it's spat out of a thing right there. So you pry the box
off, you pull it apart, you grab what you need, and you
kind of repurpose the box to be an isolated like drive in which you can
if you would like, attached directly to your head or with the two success
you can also potentially attach it to Towel's computer like the ship computer. So
I leave it up to you. Oh, but what's the fun in that?
Great? So you're gonna plug it right into you? Yeah? It
was right here? Boop? Where is what is your poor? Is it
behind your ear? It's no, it's it's it's back on on, like
just the back of the neck and shoulder area. How do you help him?
It's kind of an awkward place to plug yourself in. It keeps missing
the holes. No, stop, just give me, just give me,
just give me the cord. I'll plug it right in. Yeah, I
imagine. I don't know why. In my head, it's like, uh,
like plugging an electric guitar into an amp. It's like that kind of
like it just like slots right in the back of your neck and you kind
of clip it in and there's a moment where there's like a jolt of energy
because you're having to run this thing off a battery now because it's not connected
to the satellite, which had to power and to mi Or goes a little
stiff for a second. But you hear Aurora say, oh, look how
cute. It's tiny data, but yeah it is very old. Are you
able to transcrampage for us? From what I can tell, there seems to
be a blueprint for a probe of some kind, not that kind of probe.
I know what you're thinking. And literally Tamir's thought about a probe is
like a balloon satellite moving into an atmosphere in search of like chemical responses or
like weather data. Yeah, yeah, uh she says it. Anyways,
Uh, maybe that tells you. Maybe that tells you a lot about who
tub bit you. I think that tells you a lot about who tu Bit
used to roll with. Mm she goes, yeah, it seems to be
a bunch of information on this this this this probe and uh and oh there's
a location, a couple of locations. Uh. There seems to also be
some files in here for entry onto a station. Maybe oh look ID cards
And you can tell like she's saying things that you're not. And she's like,
oh look I found this here and this look this one right, thank
you cool? You said that to me in your head oh, thank thanks.
So sometimes I get confused, like who can hear me? And he's
literally still here talking that they can hear him. Who's who's Aurora? He's
mentioned Aurora? It's his head persons as Tal's top m h mm, okay,
I think has he. I don't actually think that you have. I
think you only mentioned it. I think you've only mentioned it to Malik because
we had we had a he mentioned it to somebody, So maybe this is
coming up moment to the rest of the Yeah, no time like the present
falls. Okay, it's his mind palace. Yeah, I believe Tell's question
was who's Auroral? Malik's responds, it's his mind palace. It's a program
to help decipher information. It's voice activated. Yes, that's kind of a
lie. Role of manipulation, and everybody he's so bad could also role a
manipulation. Can it's not a total lies? She is empathy? I'm sorry,
I would just be empathy. He doesn't have, oh ship, Can
I give him a plus one for what for also going on with lies?
Saying that it was his mind I don't need it unless I was gonna say
he got it to just straight empathy. Yeah, uh, you can roll.
Yeah, just a straight empathy. Uh yeah, straight empathy. None
of us have manipulation except for Malik. Oh, goddamn it so awesome.
Okay, give it to me, give it to me a while. We
got it. I'm gonna it's mine. Goddamn it. Okay, okay,
one in one serious. He's so serious about protecting Aurora. Yeah, like
a very clearly, like the upgrade version of of Linux just went damn it,
Siri, Siri, change your name to Aurora. All right, you
can't. From what you can tell, he is telling the truth. Aurora
is some kind of running system that's like in his head with all of that
tech that's in there. Not a total line, not the total truth,
godline hurts. Yeah. Look, this is all the information that we're going
to be needing new ID cards port entry codes. Uh So I'll go ahead
and make sure that we get those two. Uh Sally and Malik tal you'll
have access to them as well. Okay, Well, I just I just
want to remind everybody that the reason that we need fake ideas and port access
codes and stuff is because Zalos is still in the middle of a civil war
and has blocked themselves off from everyone you're literally not allowed anywhere past the space
station. Well, maybe this information allows us to get past the station into
a war torn sector of space to interrogate Captain's orders. I'll be in my
room. Wait, I have a question. Wait, wait, wait,
I have a question. I have a question, says Lamara. He stops
who says that we have to interrogate a person. If we get the probe,
all we need is the information. It doesn't matter how we get it.
We get it our way, teams like the best of both worlds,
ship worlds. Sorry, I'll really rubbing off on you. Very clarification chat.
They are not They were not bringing refugees to Corio lists that were getting
them off of Corial lists, because the Order, everybody that is under the
Order right now is basically being attacked right which we can see by their leader
being attacked in her home and beat into a coma in which she died from.
So they were sending they had sent a probe for peaceful negotiations to be
able to cross the Coriolists to get their people off of the station, so
other way around. Yeah, and they didn't make it. As the cruiser
passed through Zelosian territory, basically to make it to Coriolis. One of their
war machines shot it down from the sky. This was like an ancient holy
ship basically. Yeah, so that only escalator. I guess you could say
that escalated things pretty quickly. Now I would say, tam or you're gonna
see like she'll she'll process it back out to you, like when she's broken
all the data down. You see the the probe, the breakdown of this,
this like probe is space probe, which would be much nicer than basically
the one that they built with this satellite on it that was supposed to be
makeshift. This is like a nice one. Most of the time probes like
this, you know, are sent for exactly what they claim it was sent
for, which is like pre negotiations messaging. It's a safer than sending a
person, which oftentimes becomes a prisoner of war, right Like, they send
these probes instead that deliver a message in advance. It goes from point A
to point B. It's programmed. These are pretty standard across the third Horizon.
They're used for a variety of things, but usually to carry very top
secret information. Uh so you see that the one that would have that the
order is claiming that they sent which the Selosians don't seem to have very much
cared about if it arrived where it was supposed to go. And you see
a trajectory, right, You get poral codes and passes to be able to
talk to get where you need to go. Did my audio just change?
Yeah, you're a little rope. You sound awesome, robot though very strange.
Well here, let me do this, like yeah, no, because
I wanted to know if it was just me because I took my earphone out,
I closed the window, and I came back and it was different,
and I was like, wait, hold on, I'm going to just is
that better now? Why it decided it needed to turn my robe voice on
because I just didn't for letting me know. And it provides you with kind
of the trajectory, the jump codes, the things that you would need to
to potentially get into Zallo's getting out is a whole separate story, and you
know, the kind of as your brother so pointed out, the state that
Zalos is actually in, whate would we do? I think ultimately this is
going to go on the same path regardless, because one of the other missions
we are on is to find the emissaries and if we can't, you can't
even save a bunch of I don't know, I kind of just she's just
she's she's a little still, a little bit taken aback a little bit.
I think you can see her a stressed, distressed at the fact that entire
ship of mystics, uh, just going down like that. She's just trying
to process that, but like she's trying to find a way to express why
she would like to go, but she's not able to really figure out exactly
what it is. So for one more clarification, it's not a bunch of
mystics in fact, there so, uh, there are a couple of things
happening here. It seems that the propaganda that's being fed on Coriolis is that
a bunch of mystics attacked the head of the Order of the Pariah and beat
her to death basically and put her in a coma. How true that is?
You don't know, she's definitely dead, who killed her? Right?
If the Nazarene is actually infiltrating in all places, they could actually be posing
as mystics, right, making this a lot worse. The ship that was
sent was an order of the Pariah monastery ship that was sent to get the
rest of people that were underneath the Order off of Corioliss. Those could have
been mystics, but considering the fact that the Order is not very fond of
mystics, probably not. Okay. Basically, they sent to get their people
off before things escalated and more people got hurt. Because the Order right now
is being blamed for everything. Right, they're being blamed for the mysticizes are
being blamed, which is exactly what the Nazarene sacrifice for their plan was to
seed civil war, and they kind of have tricky situations, which is why
if you can prove that the Order the Pariah did not in fact like cross
the blockade without permission, did send piece information and that something was either tamper
with or hindered, this could be important for negotiation like negotiations, So just
a thought or just you know, taking the blame off of innocent people.
Correct, correct, Right, the Order is taking the fall and nobody believes
it's the Nazarin sacrifice yet. And really when you signed on to work with
this patron, that's kind of what they told you. They were trying to
prove, right that they knew that all of you knew something that nobody else
does, and for whatever reason, you're consistently successful. And they are information
brokers, right, They sell things, not people, things artifacts, important
information and important information. And they see all of you as the most important
information brokers right now in the third horizon, which is why they wanted you
on their team so bad. And that aligns so much more with that the
Defiant than anyone else did. Yep, Lumar is futzing once again with the
like radio, trying to get like something to come through of entertainment value,
and she she pulls up hang on, let me make sure this is yeah.
She manages to get the Coriolist news once again, uh to come through,
and it picks up in the middle of the broadcast, and the order
continues its dangerous escalation. Uh. What was his name to Old Turlington?
I can't remember his actual first name, Tyler? No, that wasn't it.
Anyways, it doesn't matter. Tyler's his brother. We have just received
word that a large Zelosian fleet has established a blockade and eyes was Our allies
on Sadleine Mirror are worried, and the Council is deliberating as we speak sanctions
against Aelusian colonies and interest are apparently on the table as well as military response.
Dallas is now completely cut off, and the Colonial Agency is trying to
negotiate the release of non Zilosians from the City of Foreigners, with backing from
the clergy of the Church of Icons and some of the more prominent Mirian clans.
There is still a chance that the portals will reopen for trade and pilgrimage
through the horizon. Oh, if we have the opportunity to help and the
means to do so. I think it is what we signed up for when
we accepted the ship back again, Captain, I can't hear you. Uh,
I'm sorry, I thought you why you can't hear me because I'm definitely
talking and I'm okay, we can now. It was like whatever the initial
thing was was silent. Yeah, I mean that's what we Yeah, that's
what we signed up for. We don't really have a choice here, shall
we said? The course? Then? Yeah, how we will close tonight
with piloting roll to begin your trick to Zallos, which is quite a long
way. In addition, you've got a lot of blockades and things that you're
going to have to get through. So this is going to be You're gonna
take some like minuses to this. The good news is you have codes that
we're kind of given to you, fake codes. I was gonna pull up
Arthur to resume. Here we go. This is what I'm looking for.
So looking at the third horizon map, basically what happened was the probe came
from and went through a wooz right and was supposed to make it to Zallo's,
which it kind of didn't. And something in this whole area is a
problem. So you're gonna have to pass through here unless you want to go
the long way round back through Odcon and come in the backside through mirror to
Zalos, which is a much longer trip, but it's much more dangerous to
go. I was. We also have our a group you do talent,
which we do would either limit an encounter or reduce our travel time behalf.
I will lead that up to you how you want to use it. You
also received a new Oh don't forget, you received a new group talent because
of your patron remember, which is that you have friends in pretty much every
port, friends in every port. Uh so though you have secret identities and
things are a little bit heightened. You actually have some people on your side,
and you've been given the resources to be able to maybe always find somebody
that has your back, like truly properly has your back, and uh not
you know, gonna stab you in the back. So uh tell, let's
get a piloting role. So usually you're gonna get your bonus for the blessing
on the ship. I imagine Alia is praying as well, so that would
be another to the chapel, the blessing, Sully's blessing. Am I missing
one? Oh? And you have the code. You have the codes.
Uh so I'm gonna give you a plus one. Now there are double blockade
like there are blockades like everywhere, and this is a lot harder to get
through. So I'm gonna take one of those ways, so you'll get a
plus three to this role. But did my math rate? Yeah? And
I see on the thing, uh it says the run from Zoo and Odacon
is a dangerous area. It is a very dangerous area. Yea. In
addition to the extended travel time and the amazing amount of quarls we have to
go. Okay, you're gonna go okay. That was my question. So
you're gonna just like not go a long way around this is so remember Odacon,
that dangerous area is where you picked up Suel at the top of the
season, where you broke open and say, I don't know a corpse clock,
and yeah, we don't really need to go there. I mean that's
that right. I mean we saw what we did. We definitely saw I
did not see a corpse clock. The only person that was very aware of
that. Yeah you feel it, Yeah you felt it break open. What
broke open? You don't know. Suel saw it with his eyes but before
it had burst open. But you do know that you definitely exploded like a
prison open. And there's definitely pirates all over the place there. So towns
instincts are probably right, which is like, let's just get let's get there.
It's better to get there than not, you know. And hey,
I was was the first place that talent Tamir had their first like mission,
their first work mission together. It is, in fact, anybody here worship
the dancer dancer. Okay, it's just Lamar. I was gonna say,
the temple for the dancer is inside of the system. I think there's a
couple of things there. The fire lakes are here. They're infamous for the
something known as the fire lakes, which are literally what it sounds like,
lakes of lake, lava and fire that cover the surface of one of the
planets, the eye of the Dancer Temple. And then I was madder,
which we'll get so you to confirm I've got a plus three from our vling
correct, no, uh, pray okay, pray to the icons. Okay,
limited success, all right, we'll think about success will work. Okay,
So I'm up to seven for all of us, six for all of
you at home. I will be spending some though, because well because I
can. Uh. And you begin the process of your travel. The tricky
thing is you've got to jump from Kua, and that who is a rough
position to be in. You can as you pass coriolists, you see that
there has been a full on stop of any vessels coming and going from the
surface of Kua, which is like unheard of, like the line of things
that are usually coming and going not happening. As you pass by, maybe
you turn on the news and you can continue to hear the reports of the
sanatorium, burning, of rioting in the corridors of Coriolis in the mass confusion
that the average citizen is trying to or is like undergoing in this matter and
what is really truth and what is hearsay? Who do we believe? Basically,
but you managed to slip in line. Your codes are approved, your
patron has not failed you, and you make the first jump to of course
Coriolis, I mean from Corey, I'm sorry, from Kua to Aswa's and
as you come through the other side, you get a look at this I
guess system, which we're actually going to take a look at next week because
we are technically very close to time and I'm not going to kick us off
into our next mission. But as you come through Ozma's you can see that
there are a lot of military vessels here, like a lot of military vessels.
It's almost like a Mexican standoff, right, and the way they call
it, everybody's just like standing there and they're just staring at each other,
waiting on somebody to like make a move. It's very much that kind of
tension. As you come through the other side of the portal into Aswa's and
next week we will learn more of what has happened. But because we did
get a corruption bar tonight, and I have not ever failed you in giving
you a little corruption. This one's going to not affect our players quite as
directly or our characters quite as directly. But the camera cuts to Coriolis.
We can hear the sounds of people screaming, of children, crying, of
women running for cover, as the streets are filled with stomping of boots,
arresting of people, accusations. The news is playing, debates between people who's
going to take over what was happening to the order. These questions are on
everybody's lips. But we witness these news reports from a hud inside of a
very very very nice r in a bed and a Komatos steak is Sule's father,
Maraz. I'll cam. He lays there, frail, very clearly malnourished
and in some kind of komata state. His eyes sit open, but he
doesn't blink. He's barely breathing. He's attached to a machine, and the
camera pans to a corner or see a child boy. He's dressed a nicer
clothes than usual, but definitely a boy that we recognize. His brow furrows
and almost like an adult kind of way as this child watches the news sitting
next to this silent individual. And the child goes over to an armedoir in
this room and reaches up with tiny hands and swings a door open. The
tops of the closet is much taller than him, but he pushes back the
clothes and behind it you see an orb a glass one black smoke kind of
furls on the inside, and he reaches in with two tiny hands and pulls
it free. He holds it up and looks at it and contemplates something briefly
as the camera cuts back to the news, And we're gonna stop tonight there.
Now we know who has our gin. Your evil ginception is g inception,
ginception. It is gin, yo, dog, I heard you like
Gin's so we gotta put gins inside of gins inside of gins. So very
clearly we know what who Lamara gave it to? Or do we We don't.
We don't. Actually that was definitely Gabe. We don't. We don't
know anything. I mean, that's not it wasn't a bad idea. Or
did the boy get in on his own? We don't totally know. Questions
for another time, Questions for another I miss I missed three hour episodes,
so you too, so much. Just so everybody knows. I have spent
four darkness points to activate certain events for the storyline today, which we saw
an action. So I am down to two, but I still have all
of the Yeah I have. Thanks, I'm down to two. Now.
There's notes on that DP card now, yeah, it's that's that's our TV
notes, that's our station notes. Seriously, next, next, next,
next session. We need four corruption bars and I will run everyone through the
Real Housewives of Coriolis is a war, Chat, I Dream of the Genie
is a show? Yes, my god, I'm writing these down chat,
just know that they are not going It would be I Dream of Lamara.
Yeah, it would be the oh my Jeenie Gott. I hate this,
guys. That was another episode. Avoid. I'm gonna end this before any
more of these awful names get said out loud. Uh, let's go around
and do our introductions. We can get the hell out of here and talk
about this show. I have feelings, so we'll start with Uh, We'll
start with nome, who are you? We find you on the internet?
And what are you up to? Man? I forgot that we do outros
too. Yeah. Wow, Hey, so there was an it was your
best pun. Yeah, give me, give me a TV show around with
Defiant, like okay, okay, okay, a TV show around the Defiant.
Mm hmm what rhymes with Malik? That's what. That's what I need.
We need, like we need like leave it to Beaver or like Dennis
the Menace. But oh my god, the Menace I thought of when and
it was bad, so we won't use it. It's not really I mean
it, if we did Melik the Creep, it's not quite. Uh,
it's not quite. Maybe you know what, Maybe Charity does do that one
because she didn't like, she didn't like, and she has a little crush
on Lumar. Maybe she does start the show Malik the Creep. The he
keeps painting Maleik in a terrible light, which is ironic because he's like the
rebel, like he's the he's the poster child for the rebellion. Now Defiant
