1
00:00:05,200 --> 00:00:08,519
Speaker 1: Hello, I'm welcomed stories all the time. Glad you are here.

2
00:00:09,160 --> 00:00:12,039
Let's get into it. We get by. We honor our

3
00:00:12,039 --> 00:00:14,519
ancestors way of life by living on the spaceband Arc.

4
00:00:14,640 --> 00:00:17,359
But at what cost. Most of the natives on board

5
00:00:17,359 --> 00:00:19,679
are wound up so tight, working themselves to death trying

6
00:00:19,719 --> 00:00:22,079
to my great way to a planet. Some of them

7
00:00:22,120 --> 00:00:24,879
save more money than they can afford, keeping themselves in poverty.

8
00:00:25,480 --> 00:00:28,320
Misery is a way of life for sister Archians. So

9
00:00:28,440 --> 00:00:30,760
that said, when a client doesn't very attack me or

10
00:00:30,800 --> 00:00:33,159
boast into tears after I've told them what I've discovered,

11
00:00:33,159 --> 00:00:36,399
I'm always drawn off guard. Take this lady Stokely sitting

12
00:00:36,399 --> 00:00:39,119
across from me in my office, for example, when she

13
00:00:39,159 --> 00:00:41,000
first came in to tire me to find her daughter, she

14
00:00:41,079 --> 00:00:43,200
told me she didn't want to involve the polisher, for

15
00:00:43,280 --> 00:00:46,200
she feared a drug habit formed in her daughter. Obviously,

16
00:00:46,320 --> 00:00:48,079
she and I both knew going into this the drug

17
00:00:48,159 --> 00:00:51,479
using teenagers put toward at an all time high decades ago. Hell,

18
00:00:51,600 --> 00:00:53,840
she herself probably had a drug habit form in her

19
00:00:53,880 --> 00:00:56,359
when she was her daughter's age. But you know how

20
00:00:56,479 --> 00:00:59,840
mother worries. Anyways, Now, as I'm telling her that I've

21
00:01:00,200 --> 00:01:02,039
her daughter in a hassa house in the lower decks.

22
00:01:02,079 --> 00:01:04,840
She almost seems relieved that it's only hasse. Kids that

23
00:01:04,959 --> 00:01:07,439
age often get involved with things far more nefarious and

24
00:01:07,480 --> 00:01:11,280
hyper aware spended animation. Although no telling where she finds

25
00:01:11,280 --> 00:01:13,840
the money for the stace line for habitual use, the

26
00:01:13,959 --> 00:01:16,040
mother doesn't seem to even think about that part, though.

27
00:01:16,680 --> 00:01:19,439
She just sits back with a blank look and expresses gratitude.

28
00:01:20,040 --> 00:01:23,200
Thank you, mister Birdie, the mother states, I appreciate your

29
00:01:23,280 --> 00:01:26,079
quick and diligent work. She pauses for a moment and

30
00:01:26,120 --> 00:01:28,159
then reaches across my desk to gently place her hand

31
00:01:28,239 --> 00:01:30,760
on my arm. She gazes into my eyes as if

32
00:01:30,799 --> 00:01:33,200
she knows something about me that I don't. You're a

33
00:01:33,200 --> 00:01:36,680
good man or I'm brody. Don't you forget that? The

34
00:01:36,719 --> 00:01:39,040
mother says. My gut reaction is to protest, but I

35
00:01:39,040 --> 00:01:41,079
don't say anything. As the lady stands up in eggis

36
00:01:41,120 --> 00:01:44,000
my office, closing the door behind her. In my head,

37
00:01:44,040 --> 00:01:45,840
I vision he stopping at the front desk of my

38
00:01:45,879 --> 00:01:49,000
practice where Clarisa charges her for my service. This poor

39
00:01:49,040 --> 00:01:51,599
lady just found out her daughter's stasising away her life,

40
00:01:51,640 --> 00:01:54,439
and now we're billing her. I continue to imagine her

41
00:01:54,480 --> 00:01:56,159
as she walks out of the practice, into the hallway

42
00:01:56,200 --> 00:01:58,799
of the high rise and towards the elevator. Does she

43
00:01:58,840 --> 00:02:01,599
lose composure at any point? And furious if I can

44
00:02:01,640 --> 00:02:03,760
catch a glimpse of her exiting the building, I peer

45
00:02:03,799 --> 00:02:05,519
down out of the window of my office, but she's

46
00:02:05,560 --> 00:02:08,240
lost in the foot traffic below. I worry about the

47
00:02:08,319 --> 00:02:10,560
mother more than the daughter. She has lived in the

48
00:02:10,560 --> 00:02:12,680
safety of the upper Pomenau deck her whole life, so

49
00:02:12,800 --> 00:02:14,680
I certainly hope she has the wits to not chase

50
00:02:14,719 --> 00:02:17,439
after her daughter in the low decks. My eyes flick

51
00:02:17,479 --> 00:02:19,639
from the crowd below to the artificial orange sunset on

52
00:02:19,680 --> 00:02:23,360
the fictitious horizon. My office window faces a stern overlooking

53
00:02:23,439 --> 00:02:25,800
one of the two beaches on the main deck on

54
00:02:25,879 --> 00:02:28,639
each end of the Ark's main decks. Artificial beaches lead

55
00:02:28,680 --> 00:02:31,599
to miles of bodies of water with fakes guys projected

56
00:02:31,599 --> 00:02:34,080
overhead on the interior of the hull. From what I

57
00:02:34,120 --> 00:02:37,319
can remember, Brother Ark assembles Sister Arc identically in their

58
00:02:37,360 --> 00:02:41,479
deck layouts. Every day. Around this time, I pretend oceanic

59
00:02:41,560 --> 00:02:44,479
sunset office FEUs obstructed as a projected sun hides behind

60
00:02:44,479 --> 00:02:47,000
a massive mechanical wave generator in the far end of

61
00:02:47,000 --> 00:02:50,560
the water. The phony fiery circle covers behind the metallic

62
00:02:50,680 --> 00:02:54,439
bouncing bulb. The wave generator ecipsing the sun bounces out

63
00:02:54,439 --> 00:02:57,159
its last few rolling waves of the evening. Every day,

64
00:02:57,199 --> 00:02:59,319
this makes me think about my family's last beach day

65
00:02:59,360 --> 00:03:02,080
on Brother Ark when I was a kid. I'm sure

66
00:03:02,039 --> 00:03:04,280
it's because I was a child, but things seemed simpler

67
00:03:04,319 --> 00:03:07,400
back then, back when my father was still around. Before

68
00:03:07,400 --> 00:03:10,759
the first Cosmo transport exploded, intensions escalated between the collective

69
00:03:10,800 --> 00:03:13,199
and the succeeded Brother Ark, forcing my family to seek

70
00:03:13,280 --> 00:03:16,159
refuge on Sister Ark. I swear people actually seemed happy

71
00:03:16,199 --> 00:03:19,439
back home here. The closest we gets complaisant, are simply

72
00:03:19,479 --> 00:03:22,319
happy for other people for leaving the Ark. My office

73
00:03:22,319 --> 00:03:24,800
door creaks open behind, but I continue stirring out the

74
00:03:24,800 --> 00:03:26,919
window as a familiar so we four all sent Grace's

75
00:03:26,919 --> 00:03:30,560
the room. I could see your brooding. Cloris's sultry voice

76
00:03:30,560 --> 00:03:33,120
teases me, saw, I'm just going to leave these here.

77
00:03:33,719 --> 00:03:35,240
I hear a thud of a steck of files on

78
00:03:35,280 --> 00:03:38,360
my desk. One of those potential clients claims to know you,

79
00:03:39,120 --> 00:03:41,319
says you go way back from your brother arc days.

80
00:03:42,000 --> 00:03:43,919
I made showt but that file on top because I

81
00:03:43,919 --> 00:03:45,879
don't want you to just choose the first moppy woman

82
00:03:45,919 --> 00:03:49,159
you see. Would we charge the mother, I ask, not

83
00:03:49,240 --> 00:03:54,319
acknowledging her comments our usual price orion Floris's siys behind me.

84
00:03:54,960 --> 00:03:56,759
We can't give out a discount to every person who

85
00:03:56,759 --> 00:03:59,680
doesn't hate you. By the end of the case, she scolds,

86
00:04:00,360 --> 00:04:03,159
then we could probably just go non profit. If only

87
00:04:03,159 --> 00:04:06,639
we'd see all the infidels that attack you, Luca suggested, No, no,

88
00:04:07,479 --> 00:04:10,159
I cut in, Finally, turning away from the artificial reds

89
00:04:10,159 --> 00:04:13,120
of the sunset, I look into Claris's deep blue eyes.

90
00:04:13,759 --> 00:04:17,000
You were right to charge her. Thank you. I'll look

91
00:04:17,040 --> 00:04:20,160
over the files before tomorrow. Our eye contact holds for

92
00:04:20,240 --> 00:04:23,120
several heartbeats until my bone conducting radio vibrates against my

93
00:04:23,160 --> 00:04:26,600
ear and breaks the spell. Oh sorry, I'm bidding a

94
00:04:26,600 --> 00:04:30,319
call Clarissa. Have a good night, yea, She smirks and

95
00:04:30,360 --> 00:04:33,519
turns towards the door. My eyes lose focus watching her

96
00:04:33,519 --> 00:04:36,439
as she leaves. The buzzing continues on my ear until

97
00:04:36,439 --> 00:04:40,319
the door closes and the fall scent slowly dissipates the ikes.

98
00:04:40,839 --> 00:04:43,560
Why am I so awkward? With her. The radio buzz

99
00:04:43,600 --> 00:04:47,079
is in a complex pattern, indicating a coaler's identification. My

100
00:04:47,199 --> 00:04:50,639
mother ay, not feeling particularly interested in hearing her brag

101
00:04:50,720 --> 00:04:53,199
about my older brother, like to let the vibration continue

102
00:04:53,279 --> 00:04:56,560
until the coal attempt ceases. After the fake sunsets, the

103
00:04:56,560 --> 00:04:58,879
whole above the main deck slides open to reveal count

104
00:04:58,879 --> 00:05:01,800
the stars glistening through the door blast skylight. When the

105
00:05:01,800 --> 00:05:04,000
waves die enough, the comat connects to the dome at

106
00:05:04,040 --> 00:05:06,639
the horizon and reflects the bright stars from below, creating

107
00:05:06,639 --> 00:05:09,759
the illusion that the beach leads directly into space. Rusty

108
00:05:09,800 --> 00:05:11,959
wave generator acts as my brown full moon to night.

109
00:05:12,120 --> 00:05:15,160
Like most nights, some night cycles, I do go home

110
00:05:15,160 --> 00:05:17,000
to my duplex I bought with my mother after my

111
00:05:17,079 --> 00:05:19,480
dad passed, but that's way down in the promenade decks.

112
00:05:20,199 --> 00:05:22,480
These days, I prefer to fall asleep in my office

113
00:05:22,480 --> 00:05:24,959
in the city. This way, I don't bother myself with

114
00:05:25,040 --> 00:05:27,079
the commute or any questions from my mother. But when

115
00:05:27,120 --> 00:05:29,480
I'll finally have some courage and ask out my assistant

116
00:05:30,160 --> 00:05:31,759
to night, though I know I will be able to

117
00:05:31,759 --> 00:05:35,519
sleep anyways, something about that has a house from earlier

118
00:05:35,560 --> 00:05:38,120
haunts me, and it's not just a stench all the

119
00:05:38,199 --> 00:05:40,279
kids and they'll look too young, although most of them

120
00:05:40,279 --> 00:05:42,759
were probably older than me I know personally. The new kids, though,

121
00:05:42,800 --> 00:05:44,800
will have regrets when there stays this age, Inevitably it

122
00:05:44,839 --> 00:05:48,279
shrinks their biological age. That's a weird one to reconcile.

123
00:05:48,920 --> 00:05:51,240
After a few hours of worrying and failing to sleep

124
00:05:51,240 --> 00:05:53,839
on my office couch, I decide to distract myself by

125
00:05:53,839 --> 00:05:57,000
looking over the Kleinfast Curse abroad. In moving to my desk,

126
00:05:57,120 --> 00:05:58,920
I kick my feet up, lean back, and reach for

127
00:05:58,959 --> 00:06:01,560
the Manilla folder on top of the stack. Before I

128
00:06:01,600 --> 00:06:03,839
open it, Cloris's floor or sent rushes off the folder

129
00:06:03,920 --> 00:06:06,959
and suddenly undistracted by something else, or rather some one else.

130
00:06:07,680 --> 00:06:10,600
Beyond her stunning appearance and demanding presents, Claris is also

131
00:06:10,600 --> 00:06:13,959
the best assistant. After every close case, she'll present a

132
00:06:14,000 --> 00:06:16,399
stack of potential client folders that she typed herself and

133
00:06:16,480 --> 00:06:19,879
arranged from most urgent to least. Chlorisa somehow keeps better

134
00:06:19,920 --> 00:06:22,040
track of everything without the help of her feedback display

135
00:06:22,120 --> 00:06:24,959
device than I would with one. I'm not entirely convinced

136
00:06:25,000 --> 00:06:28,199
I'm not her assistant. I catch myself smiling, and I

137
00:06:28,240 --> 00:06:31,639
crack open the folder women smile drops, my focus tunneled

138
00:06:31,680 --> 00:06:33,720
and the poor mother Earler so intently that I didn't

139
00:06:33,720 --> 00:06:35,920
even process that Colos has said somebody from my brother

140
00:06:36,040 --> 00:06:39,240
Arkie is called. After Dad was killed. My family and

141
00:06:39,279 --> 00:06:42,519
I have kept our origins a secret outside of Claris

142
00:06:42,519 --> 00:06:44,920
in my direct family members. There's only one man who

143
00:06:44,920 --> 00:06:46,879
even knows I am from brother ark and I hadn't

144
00:06:46,879 --> 00:06:50,160
seen him in several years. Yet here in this folder,

145
00:06:50,199 --> 00:06:53,120
Gabriel Hunter, Dad's long time business partner, was seeking my

146
00:06:53,120 --> 00:06:55,959
help regarding a missing person. I didn't even know he

147
00:06:56,000 --> 00:06:58,199
had a son. I read over the file and it's

148
00:06:58,199 --> 00:07:00,240
a pretty standard missing person case from what I can

149
00:07:00,279 --> 00:07:03,759
tell here on Sister Ark, most missing persons have either

150
00:07:03,759 --> 00:07:06,079
gotten involved with drugs and or hasse escaped to the

151
00:07:06,120 --> 00:07:10,160
capital planet or to be crass off themselves. Mister Hunterson

152
00:07:10,279 --> 00:07:13,360
is no special case. Ad Bet. Reading through the file more,

153
00:07:13,480 --> 00:07:17,600
I note all the important details. Ferdinand Hunter, mister Hunter's son,

154
00:07:18,000 --> 00:07:20,079
recently loped with his wife on the beach facing above

155
00:07:20,120 --> 00:07:22,800
of the Ark. Apparently he and his new wife bought

156
00:07:22,800 --> 00:07:25,319
property in the suppro neate decks, but neither have answered

157
00:07:25,360 --> 00:07:28,439
When mister Hunters stopped by the son's not answering his

158
00:07:28,560 --> 00:07:32,879
radio either. My I scan page after page. Eventually I

159
00:07:32,879 --> 00:07:36,279
stop and withdraw, My head tilts back, my eyes close,

160
00:07:36,639 --> 00:07:40,759
and my mind races Gabriel Hunter. Huh, mister Hunter as

161
00:07:40,759 --> 00:07:44,199
I knew him growing up. See. Something interesting about mister

162
00:07:44,240 --> 00:07:46,879
Hunter is that he actually entered hyper were suspended animation

163
00:07:46,959 --> 00:07:48,600
in the pod next to mine when we were treated

164
00:07:48,600 --> 00:07:51,519
from Brother Arc. More than that, though, mister Hunter paid

165
00:07:51,560 --> 00:07:55,160
for stasis for my whole family at the time, Me, mom, dad,

166
00:07:55,240 --> 00:07:57,759
and my brother Kip all hassied for three years across

167
00:07:57,800 --> 00:08:00,439
the Pulsic system with mister Hunter on the same refugee vessel.

168
00:08:00,959 --> 00:08:03,439
He remained a prominent member of my family's social unit

169
00:08:03,519 --> 00:08:05,560
until one day he and my dad had a massive

170
00:08:05,639 --> 00:08:09,040
argument and consequential falling out. I haven't seen him since

171
00:08:09,040 --> 00:08:10,879
the day I caught my dad yelling at him, telling

172
00:08:10,920 --> 00:08:12,480
him to leave the house and unit and to never

173
00:08:12,519 --> 00:08:15,480
come back, although I still don't know what the argument

174
00:08:15,519 --> 00:08:18,000
itself was about the fact that mister Hunter didn't show

175
00:08:18,079 --> 00:08:19,720
up for my dad's funeral a few months after the

176
00:08:19,800 --> 00:08:21,879
days and off for me to hesitate taking this case.

177
00:08:22,480 --> 00:08:24,759
Why should I help this rich man who practically disowned

178
00:08:24,759 --> 00:08:27,399
my father? He did help a whole family out dozens

179
00:08:27,399 --> 00:08:29,959
of years ago. I guess that was worth something, right.

180
00:08:30,519 --> 00:08:32,120
I opened my eyes and stare at the ceiling of

181
00:08:32,159 --> 00:08:35,480
my office. We need the money. I need the money.

182
00:08:36,120 --> 00:08:38,440
Beyond that, I don't think I can stop myself from

183
00:08:38,440 --> 00:08:41,879
helping people. I really would go nonprofit, but Clarisa thinks

184
00:08:41,879 --> 00:08:43,240
the only way to do that is to sue the

185
00:08:43,279 --> 00:08:45,919
cheetahs that I beat up out of self defense. But

186
00:08:45,960 --> 00:08:48,720
that just doesn't feel right to me. Anyways, I decide

187
00:08:48,759 --> 00:08:52,120
to help. Of course, before the artificial sunrise, I tried

188
00:08:52,159 --> 00:08:53,960
to cram in as much about this case as I can.

189
00:08:54,480 --> 00:08:57,279
Ferdinand and his wife met volunteering at a community service

190
00:08:57,279 --> 00:09:00,720
event sponsored by a brother arka preach organization. I'll have

191
00:09:00,799 --> 00:09:03,000
to wait to visit the Outfreach administration office in the

192
00:09:03,039 --> 00:09:06,440
lower deck, which opens in the afternoon. Until then, I'll

193
00:09:06,480 --> 00:09:10,240
check out the missing person's housing unit. Unfortunately, the client

194
00:09:10,279 --> 00:09:12,960
didn't disclose his son and daughter in law's exact address.

195
00:09:13,039 --> 00:09:14,840
But I bet if I tell mister Hunter that I've

196
00:09:14,840 --> 00:09:17,879
accepted his case, he'll provide the address up front. You

197
00:09:18,000 --> 00:09:21,120
never know with geriatrics there, mister Hunter may not awake

198
00:09:21,159 --> 00:09:23,080
until noon, or he may already be awake for the

199
00:09:23,159 --> 00:09:26,600
day now, speaking of jeriatrics. Right as I'm finishing the

200
00:09:26,639 --> 00:09:29,279
lost page, Clarissa typed up about the Hunter's I received

201
00:09:29,279 --> 00:09:31,960
another call from my mother. I let my radio bus

202
00:09:32,000 --> 00:09:34,200
a few times before letting out a sigh, heft it

203
00:09:34,200 --> 00:09:37,559
than I intended, and answered the call. Hey, ma'am, I say,

204
00:09:37,600 --> 00:09:41,360
after I press my radio, everything okay. I stand up

205
00:09:41,440 --> 00:09:44,360
and immediately look out the window towards the beach or

206
00:09:44,399 --> 00:09:47,279
I in baby my mom squeals out of the radio.

207
00:09:47,679 --> 00:09:50,960
You didn't come home last night? Were you out with Marissa?

208
00:09:51,240 --> 00:09:54,039
You do know how a mother worries, right, No, ma'am,

209
00:09:54,720 --> 00:09:57,679
I wasn't out with Curissa. I stayed up at the office,

210
00:09:57,720 --> 00:10:00,360
like how you should do on week days. Out the

211
00:10:00,360 --> 00:10:02,320
the overhead hole begins to slide shut to begin the

212
00:10:02,320 --> 00:10:05,600
new day's cycle. Well that's good too, mom of lies.

213
00:10:06,240 --> 00:10:09,879
Oh my two hard working boys, speaking of which she says,

214
00:10:10,000 --> 00:10:12,159
Kip finally woke up from his first house cycle and

215
00:10:12,200 --> 00:10:15,279
reached out. After the past few years, he's about half

216
00:10:15,320 --> 00:10:17,759
way to the capital planet. Are you proud of him

217
00:10:17,799 --> 00:10:21,159
or what? That's a load of question. That's great, mom,

218
00:10:21,759 --> 00:10:25,120
I snip, before changing the topic. Say do you remember

219
00:10:25,120 --> 00:10:29,320
mister Hunter, silly question. Of course she remembers mister Hunter.

220
00:10:29,919 --> 00:10:33,120
Of course, I remember mister Hunter, my mother says, dropping

221
00:10:33,159 --> 00:10:34,919
her chip or tone before building back up to it.

222
00:10:35,480 --> 00:10:37,080
He was a good friend of your father's for a

223
00:10:37,159 --> 00:10:41,480
very long time. Notice she doesn't mention how their friendship ended. Well,

224
00:10:41,600 --> 00:10:44,320
he reached out to me to help him find his son, Ferdinand.

225
00:10:45,000 --> 00:10:47,919
I explain, I'm thinking of helping him out, but before

226
00:10:47,919 --> 00:10:49,639
I do, I think it's time I know what happened

227
00:10:49,679 --> 00:10:53,039
between them. My mother pauses for a long time, an

228
00:10:53,120 --> 00:10:56,720
uncharacteristically long amount of time. Through my window, I watched

229
00:10:56,679 --> 00:10:58,879
surface were out to catch the first waves of the day,

230
00:10:58,960 --> 00:11:02,440
and I begin speculating all my thears on mister Hunter. Finally,

231
00:11:02,519 --> 00:11:07,440
she replies Orian, she starts, I think if Gabriel Hunter

232
00:11:07,519 --> 00:11:09,480
is reaching out to you, then maybe at a time

233
00:11:09,559 --> 00:11:13,279
you know what happened. Perfect, But mister Hunt needs to

234
00:11:13,320 --> 00:11:15,039
be to want to tell you. It's not my story

235
00:11:15,039 --> 00:11:18,919
to tell, nor my forgiveness to give. That's perfect. I'm

236
00:11:18,960 --> 00:11:23,039
not sure what that even means. Okay, Mom, I simply reply,

237
00:11:23,799 --> 00:11:27,080
I'll give him a call, thank you, and make sure

238
00:11:27,120 --> 00:11:30,200
you eat something healthy and organic to day. Okay. Not

239
00:11:30,399 --> 00:11:35,039
just those chocolate protein packs. Sure, sure, oriin she says,

240
00:11:35,679 --> 00:11:38,399
I'll see ye tonight. Maybe we can eat some healthy

241
00:11:38,480 --> 00:11:42,840
organic dinner together. Sure Ma, I strain out, not knowing

242
00:11:42,879 --> 00:11:44,960
if it's a lie or not yet, I'll be home

243
00:11:45,000 --> 00:11:47,120
for dinner to night, provided I make some headway in

244
00:11:47,120 --> 00:11:50,399
this case. See ye. Then I tap the radio to

245
00:11:50,399 --> 00:11:52,879
hang up, and I get back to work. Reading over

246
00:11:52,919 --> 00:11:55,240
the case fra ale again, I find mister Hunter didn't

247
00:11:55,240 --> 00:11:57,480
provide a call back frequency, but he did provide an

248
00:11:57,480 --> 00:12:00,000
address on the main deck. He must still have consider

249
00:12:00,159 --> 00:12:02,200
er wealth if he can afford housing up here, which

250
00:12:02,200 --> 00:12:04,559
always begs the question why not leave the arc forj

251
00:12:04,679 --> 00:12:07,440
now or javendus? Even my mind drills for all of

252
00:12:07,480 --> 00:12:09,240
the reasons a rich man would choose to live on

253
00:12:09,279 --> 00:12:11,200
an arc. As I grab my firearm and head out

254
00:12:11,200 --> 00:12:14,080
of my office, I stop at Choris's desk to scribble

255
00:12:14,080 --> 00:12:15,759
a quick note to let her know where I was going.

256
00:12:16,320 --> 00:12:18,240
She knows to try my radio if she needs me,

257
00:12:18,399 --> 00:12:21,440
but she rarely does. I exit a practice, head down

258
00:12:21,440 --> 00:12:23,919
the hall, and go down the elevator to find mister Hunter.

259
00:12:24,559 --> 00:12:26,600
The address provided in his file leads me to up

260
00:12:26,600 --> 00:12:29,080
a starboard a relatively less rich district in the main

261
00:12:29,120 --> 00:12:31,759
deck is a half iro pasted on when I arrive

262
00:12:31,799 --> 00:12:34,200
at mister Hunter's district on a public zero G shuttle.

263
00:12:34,679 --> 00:12:36,559
Although yes, they are the fastest way to get from

264
00:12:36,600 --> 00:12:38,600
one end of the Oark to another, syero G shuttles

265
00:12:38,639 --> 00:12:40,840
make me sick launching you at super speed from one

266
00:12:40,919 --> 00:12:43,600
end to the next to in zero gravity corridors. That

267
00:12:43,720 --> 00:12:45,960
type of force creates its own gravity that doesn't ever

268
00:12:46,000 --> 00:12:49,799
agree with my stupid stomach. Anyways, after I vomit myself straight,

269
00:12:49,840 --> 00:12:53,000
my trek through upper Starboard begins. The entire district is

270
00:12:53,039 --> 00:12:55,600
really just rows and rows of near identical housing units,

271
00:12:55,720 --> 00:12:58,120
leaving the numerical grid layout to provide the only means

272
00:12:58,120 --> 00:13:01,960
of navigation. The sprawling suburban nightmare almost makes me sick again,

273
00:13:02,120 --> 00:13:04,799
but I pass on. I walk for about twenty minutes

274
00:13:04,799 --> 00:13:07,360
through the streets, breeding the remarkably stale air. When I

275
00:13:07,360 --> 00:13:11,000
finally approach mister Hunter's housing unit. Walking up, I noticed

276
00:13:11,000 --> 00:13:13,879
his nosy neighbor watching my every step. I wave to

277
00:13:13,879 --> 00:13:17,639
her and she quickly ducks out of sight. Odd probably

278
00:13:17,639 --> 00:13:20,879
just another miserable sister arcy in looking for drama. Anyways,

279
00:13:21,000 --> 00:13:22,840
I continue on and knock on the front door. When

280
00:13:22,840 --> 00:13:26,120
a housekeeper answers, he welcomes me with a traditional brother

281
00:13:26,200 --> 00:13:28,039
art greeting, grasp in my right hand with both of

282
00:13:28,080 --> 00:13:30,799
his enbowing while bringing my hand to his forehead. The

283
00:13:30,840 --> 00:13:33,200
housekeeper brings me inside and tells me to wait in

284
00:13:33,240 --> 00:13:36,080
common language. As he awakes, Mister Hunter left on my

285
00:13:36,120 --> 00:13:39,000
own in the hosting room. I survey the decorps scattered

286
00:13:39,000 --> 00:13:41,480
throughout the room, a photos of mister Hunter looking around

287
00:13:41,480 --> 00:13:44,360
the same age as I remember him. Mister Hunter's thirty

288
00:13:44,399 --> 00:13:46,639
something year old face gleamed with joy in every photo.

289
00:13:47,320 --> 00:13:50,200
In one one, he held his newborn son. In another,

290
00:13:50,240 --> 00:13:53,159
he held his toddler son on his shoulders. In another,

291
00:13:53,399 --> 00:13:55,919
mister Hunter's thirty something year old arms wrap around his

292
00:13:56,000 --> 00:13:59,960
newly college graduated son's shoulders. The housekeeper interrupts my snoopy

293
00:14:00,120 --> 00:14:03,240
by announcing the arrival of the host. Mister Hunter walks

294
00:14:03,279 --> 00:14:05,399
down the staircase towards the hosting room with a glass

295
00:14:05,440 --> 00:14:08,519
of something brown and presumably expensive in his hand. He's

296
00:14:08,519 --> 00:14:11,279
no geriatric at all. I swear he looks the same

297
00:14:11,279 --> 00:14:14,200
age as he does in the photos. Or I am Brodie,

298
00:14:14,639 --> 00:14:17,159
mister Hunter exclaimed a little too happy to see me

299
00:14:17,799 --> 00:14:20,240
ar ner sight for sore eyes. He walks into the

300
00:14:20,320 --> 00:14:22,679
room and ride up to my face. I can still

301
00:14:22,720 --> 00:14:26,919
smell the specific stench of staysign a cryogenic necessity on him. Well,

302
00:14:26,919 --> 00:14:29,600
look at you, all grown up, he continues, I see

303
00:14:29,639 --> 00:14:32,399
your BOSSENTI m cray for help. Yes, I've read up

304
00:14:32,399 --> 00:14:36,360
on Ferdinand my condolences, I remark, not bothering to correct

305
00:14:36,399 --> 00:14:39,120
him about Cliss's occupation. Do you mind if I ask

306
00:14:39,159 --> 00:14:42,279
you a few questions regarding his disappearance? He gestures to

307
00:14:42,320 --> 00:14:45,480
the cushioned heats by all means anything I can do

308
00:14:45,559 --> 00:14:48,279
to help. I follow his lead and sit down myself.

309
00:14:48,840 --> 00:14:51,120
Pulling out a recording device, I make a gesture to

310
00:14:51,240 --> 00:14:54,279
ensure mister Hunter doesn't mind. He encourages me as I

311
00:14:54,279 --> 00:14:57,279
pressed the record button for Clarissa to transpose later. She

312
00:14:57,399 --> 00:15:00,000
really is the best. Aldo Brodie is in an issue

313
00:15:00,080 --> 00:15:03,120
interview with mister Hunter. Mister Hunter, when did you last

314
00:15:03,159 --> 00:15:06,519
see your son? Months ago? And this was at the wedding,

315
00:15:07,120 --> 00:15:09,960
This was before the elopement. Ferdin Nan was over for

316
00:15:10,000 --> 00:15:12,919
dinner one night. He found time in his busy volunteering

317
00:15:12,960 --> 00:15:15,960
schedule for me. He didn't even mention Eliza at the time,

318
00:15:16,559 --> 00:15:20,759
and this Eliza. You haven't met her? Then? Correct, I've

319
00:15:20,759 --> 00:15:23,879
never met the girl? Breaks my heart. Had you been

320
00:15:23,879 --> 00:15:27,240
in contact with your son since the elopement, any radio calls,

321
00:15:27,240 --> 00:15:30,200
her letters, even what exactly makes you think he's missing?

322
00:15:30,759 --> 00:15:32,519
We used to radio each other every week or so,

323
00:15:32,720 --> 00:15:35,759
just to check in. No conversation ever lasted longer than

324
00:15:35,799 --> 00:15:38,000
five minutes. But in one of our radio chats he

325
00:15:38,000 --> 00:15:40,840
gave me his current address a few weeks ago. He

326
00:15:40,879 --> 00:15:43,639
told me to visit any time. Well, last week I

327
00:15:43,679 --> 00:15:45,679
tried to radio him several times, but it was like

328
00:15:45,720 --> 00:15:49,000
his radio didn't even exist. After a few days of trying,

329
00:15:49,120 --> 00:15:51,279
I eventually went to check out the address he gave me,

330
00:15:51,519 --> 00:15:54,399
but it didn't look like anybody lived there. I've tried

331
00:15:54,399 --> 00:15:56,799
the house in unit several times since, and each time

332
00:15:57,080 --> 00:16:01,559
nobody answers. Interesting, mister Hunter, do you know anything about

333
00:16:01,600 --> 00:16:04,919
your son using stasis recreationally? Maybe using your pot a

334
00:16:04,919 --> 00:16:07,840
few times growing up? Oh, I an, I don't appreciate

335
00:16:07,840 --> 00:16:10,519
what you're implying here. I use hasset, yes, but that

336
00:16:10,559 --> 00:16:13,240
doesn't make me in an attentive father. I always locked

337
00:16:13,320 --> 00:16:15,919
up my pot when Ferdinand was Yon if he's gotten

338
00:16:15,919 --> 00:16:18,840
into it, it's not because of me. But Ferdinand's a

339
00:16:18,840 --> 00:16:22,200
good kid. He wouldn't do anything like that. He cares

340
00:16:22,240 --> 00:16:25,919
about this outreach organization and his wife too much for that. Look,

341
00:16:26,080 --> 00:16:28,960
I didn't mean to offend mister Hunter. I'm simply trying

342
00:16:29,000 --> 00:16:32,720
to narrow my focus. I'll find you Son, I promise,

343
00:16:33,440 --> 00:16:36,200
thank you, or Ryan. If there's anything else I can

344
00:16:36,240 --> 00:16:38,840
do to help, please let me know. Here's my radio

345
00:16:38,879 --> 00:16:42,840
frequency if you need me. Appreciate it, mister Hunter. I'll

346
00:16:42,879 --> 00:16:45,159
see myself out. But before I go, would you mind

347
00:16:45,159 --> 00:16:48,320
giving me Ferdinand in Eliza's address as well? Of course,

348
00:16:48,399 --> 00:16:51,480
here you are, Thank you again. I listened to the

349
00:16:51,480 --> 00:16:53,600
recorded interview several times in the way to the newly

350
00:16:53,600 --> 00:16:57,120
Wits housing unit, analyzing intently. While I've no reason to

351
00:16:57,120 --> 00:16:59,360
believe he's lying to me, mister Hunter hasn't earned my

352
00:16:59,360 --> 00:17:02,399
trust in his sleigh as yet. Admittedly, asking him about

353
00:17:02,440 --> 00:17:04,240
my father would have provided a chance for him to

354
00:17:04,279 --> 00:17:06,920
own said trust, but I choked in the question. I

355
00:17:06,960 --> 00:17:08,759
can't believe. I'll let my nose weary in that. For me.

356
00:17:08,839 --> 00:17:11,279
I'll have to follow up on that tomorrow as I

357
00:17:11,400 --> 00:17:14,079
ride another zero G shuttle. This time vertically done towards

358
00:17:14,119 --> 00:17:16,599
the promenade deck. The interview plays on loop on my radio.

359
00:17:17,319 --> 00:17:19,599
Just as my focus turns to avoiding more sickness, the

360
00:17:19,599 --> 00:17:22,640
shuttle arrives on the deck that houses Ferdinand an Eliza's estate.

361
00:17:23,200 --> 00:17:25,519
The shuttle drops me off several miles from their address,

362
00:17:25,680 --> 00:17:28,440
so I signal for a personal rover cab. The cab

363
00:17:28,559 --> 00:17:31,279
ride is peaceful enough, although the driver won't stop talking

364
00:17:31,279 --> 00:17:34,119
about their husband's gambling obsession, saying he never shows up

365
00:17:34,160 --> 00:17:36,119
with any money nor debt after he returns from his

366
00:17:36,160 --> 00:17:39,160
gambling trips. They ramble on. As we approach the young

367
00:17:39,240 --> 00:17:42,200
Hunter's housing unit, I ask the driver to stand by

368
00:17:42,200 --> 00:17:44,920
while I inspect the unit. If what mister Hunter said

369
00:17:44,920 --> 00:17:48,079
is true, this will be quick. On approach, the exterior

370
00:17:48,160 --> 00:17:50,079
reminds me of the housing unit we grew up and

371
00:17:50,079 --> 00:17:52,960
back on Brother Arch. The colors don't match, but the

372
00:17:53,000 --> 00:17:55,640
general structure appears identical to the one in my memories.

373
00:17:56,240 --> 00:17:59,079
Maybe I just have brother Ark on my mind. Before

374
00:17:59,079 --> 00:18:01,160
I attempt the front door, I sneak around back to

375
00:18:01,160 --> 00:18:03,599
look for any windows to look inside. Before any potential

376
00:18:03,640 --> 00:18:06,559
residence realize I'm here. What people do in the santity

377
00:18:06,559 --> 00:18:09,559
of their own home divines them anyways. I found a

378
00:18:09,559 --> 00:18:11,839
window with the privacy cutains fully unveiled to show a

379
00:18:11,880 --> 00:18:15,920
completely burned hosting room, no furniture, no trash, no signs

380
00:18:15,920 --> 00:18:20,079
of life in any capacity, art for sure. Circling back

381
00:18:20,119 --> 00:18:21,880
to the front, I first see if the front door

382
00:18:21,920 --> 00:18:25,000
is unlocked, having made the mistake of breaking and entering

383
00:18:25,079 --> 00:18:28,039
when I could have just entered. I always check. However,

384
00:18:28,079 --> 00:18:30,920
at this time the action bears fruitless. Thinking of my

385
00:18:30,960 --> 00:18:33,160
best ways in, I run thro all of the usual spots.

386
00:18:33,200 --> 00:18:37,880
People hide their house keys under the rock, Nope, electrical

387
00:18:37,920 --> 00:18:41,440
box in the back, no key. I check for more

388
00:18:41,440 --> 00:18:44,079
common locations and almost lose faith in myself yet again,

389
00:18:44,119 --> 00:18:46,440
before or to pilot. Powered by my childhood memories and

390
00:18:46,480 --> 00:18:49,160
induition takes over. When I return to the front of

391
00:18:49,200 --> 00:18:51,319
the house, my right hand glosses over the bricks close

392
00:18:51,400 --> 00:18:54,119
to the door. Suddenly my mind catches up to my

393
00:18:54,119 --> 00:18:56,079
body when I recall where our family used to keep

394
00:18:56,079 --> 00:18:59,079
our house key behind a loose brick. Surely this vaguely

395
00:18:59,079 --> 00:19:01,839
similar house doesn't the same secrets as my childhood won there,

396
00:19:02,400 --> 00:19:04,960
my intuition proves my logic roung Immediately as I pull out.

397
00:19:05,000 --> 00:19:08,880
Sure enough, I'll loose brick. However, my bewilderment meets disappointment

398
00:19:08,880 --> 00:19:11,039
immediately when I look inside the secret spot, only to

399
00:19:11,079 --> 00:19:13,839
see dust and spider webs. I turn my head back

400
00:19:13,880 --> 00:19:16,160
to check on the rover cab driver. They wave at

401
00:19:16,200 --> 00:19:18,799
me and point to their wrist, indicating I should probably hurry.

402
00:19:19,319 --> 00:19:21,400
I wave back before leaning down to pick up the brick.

403
00:19:22,039 --> 00:19:24,480
Losing patient to myself, I walk around the side once

404
00:19:24,519 --> 00:19:26,920
more and toss the brick through the window. The moment

405
00:19:27,000 --> 00:19:29,119
I enter the housing unit, it instantly occurs to me

406
00:19:29,200 --> 00:19:32,079
why I'm thinking about my childhood home. This unit must

407
00:19:32,119 --> 00:19:34,359
have used the same common blueprint as the housing unit

408
00:19:34,400 --> 00:19:37,119
I grew up in. Suddenly I'm transported to the night

409
00:19:37,160 --> 00:19:38,880
we left, when my family and I did off final

410
00:19:38,960 --> 00:19:41,480
walk through of our old house. This place is as

411
00:19:41,480 --> 00:19:44,240
empty as is was on that day. The bedroom doesn't

412
00:19:44,240 --> 00:19:47,599
have a bed, the library doesn't have any books. I

413
00:19:47,640 --> 00:19:49,640
walk all through the unit, looking for any signs of

414
00:19:49,640 --> 00:19:52,960
anybody ever staying here, to no avail. Maybe the reminiscing

415
00:19:52,960 --> 00:19:55,880
distracts me from discovering anything, or may be truly nobody

416
00:19:55,920 --> 00:19:59,039
ever lived here. Then I remember the secret compartment my

417
00:19:59,119 --> 00:20:00,480
dad and I would use to get of each other

418
00:20:00,519 --> 00:20:03,200
messages back in our old house or brother ark in

419
00:20:03,240 --> 00:20:05,400
a kitchen, A specific drawer hit a false bottom that

420
00:20:05,440 --> 00:20:07,119
my dad and I would left to leave messages to

421
00:20:07,160 --> 00:20:10,440
each other. The messages themselves were never anything noteworthy, but

422
00:20:10,480 --> 00:20:12,759
I still remember loving the idea when I was young.

423
00:20:13,319 --> 00:20:15,279
While I always assumed my dad build it. Then I

424
00:20:15,319 --> 00:20:17,799
figure it wouldn't hurt to check Ferdinand identical drawer for

425
00:20:17,799 --> 00:20:20,440
a similar false bottom. When I walk into the kitchen

426
00:20:20,440 --> 00:20:23,720
staring at the drawer, my mind goes blank. Sweat beads

427
00:20:23,720 --> 00:20:26,440
build up on my forehead. My face feels hot as

428
00:20:26,480 --> 00:20:27,720
I pull up in the drawer to see it looks

429
00:20:27,720 --> 00:20:31,400
completely empty. But that's the idea. I reach in towards

430
00:20:31,440 --> 00:20:33,440
the back of the open drawer, where my forefinger slips

431
00:20:33,440 --> 00:20:35,880
through a small hole. My eyes widened as I cut

432
00:20:35,880 --> 00:20:38,400
my finger and lift it up. The kitchen drawer has

433
00:20:38,440 --> 00:20:40,680
a false bottom. The front of the house is a

434
00:20:40,680 --> 00:20:44,000
loose brick. What is going on here? These can be

435
00:20:44,039 --> 00:20:47,039
designed features for this model of housing unit. Right. I

436
00:20:47,039 --> 00:20:49,519
stop speculating as soon as I see the contents of

437
00:20:49,559 --> 00:20:54,160
the secret compartment. A small rectangular device not just any device,

438
00:20:54,920 --> 00:20:58,119
A device with a feedback display, a computing system with

439
00:20:58,160 --> 00:21:02,119
the screen something outlawd in the collective long ago. Inspecting

440
00:21:02,119 --> 00:21:04,640
the device all around, I accidentally press a button on

441
00:21:04,680 --> 00:21:07,880
the side, igniting the screen, which practically illuminates the entire house.

442
00:21:08,519 --> 00:21:10,839
Without looking at the feedback display, I pressed the button

443
00:21:10,839 --> 00:21:13,720
again and the screen dies out. I'll have to wade

444
00:21:13,720 --> 00:21:16,440
through the contents of this device personally. Back at the office,

445
00:21:17,000 --> 00:21:19,200
Florisa would love to see the display herself, but I

446
00:21:19,200 --> 00:21:22,119
don't want to risk her going blind. Being brother Ark

447
00:21:22,160 --> 00:21:25,680
and myself, I should be fine. Satisfied with this fascinating

448
00:21:25,720 --> 00:21:27,759
new piece of evidence. I exit the house and start

449
00:21:27,799 --> 00:21:30,119
the journey back to my building on main deck, cautious

450
00:21:30,119 --> 00:21:32,440
to keep the feedback display device hidden along the way.

451
00:21:33,039 --> 00:21:35,119
On the return trip, I think about mister Hunter and

452
00:21:35,160 --> 00:21:37,480
my dad as I knew them back home. Their heads

453
00:21:37,480 --> 00:21:39,759
were always buried in their screens unless they were together.

454
00:21:40,400 --> 00:21:42,480
When they were together, they only talked in private and

455
00:21:42,559 --> 00:21:45,559
laughed often. But around the family, my dad was always

456
00:21:45,599 --> 00:21:49,039
serious and working hard, staring at his feedback displays. He'd

457
00:21:49,039 --> 00:21:52,160
occasionally tell me the tale of our superpower. The legends

458
00:21:52,240 --> 00:21:54,400
go that during the Odyssey era, a virus broke out

459
00:21:54,440 --> 00:21:57,759
on Sister Ark, causing the entire populace to all go blind.

460
00:21:58,440 --> 00:22:00,880
While they overcame the challenge to re medadic advancements, the

461
00:22:00,880 --> 00:22:03,839
citizen's new eyes went up to PA They retrofitted their

462
00:22:04,000 --> 00:22:06,720
entire ox technological systems to avoid blue light or any

463
00:22:06,759 --> 00:22:11,079
artificial that deemed dangerous, including screens. Also, the tale goes,

464
00:22:11,720 --> 00:22:13,559
I'll never forget the day when my dad told me

465
00:22:13,599 --> 00:22:17,160
his justification for working so hard using our superpower as leverage.

466
00:22:17,680 --> 00:22:20,039
He said, Son, as citizens of Brother Ark have the

467
00:22:20,039 --> 00:22:21,519
gift of site, we must use it to help the

468
00:22:21,519 --> 00:22:23,599
rest of the collective as much as possible, since they

469
00:22:23,599 --> 00:22:26,880
do not share our abilities. This was, of course, when

470
00:22:26,920 --> 00:22:29,519
Brother Arks still consider themselves a part of the collective,

471
00:22:30,240 --> 00:22:32,240
Before my dad lost faith in the unity of the

472
00:22:32,240 --> 00:22:35,440
pulsic system, before mister Hunter and my dad fell out,

473
00:22:36,160 --> 00:22:38,480
long before a random Sister Arkin shot my dad and

474
00:22:38,519 --> 00:22:40,720
left him for did solely because he was from Brother Ark.

475
00:22:41,519 --> 00:22:43,920
When I arrived back at my private practice, Clariss is

476
00:22:43,920 --> 00:22:46,440
out for lunch. On the same note I left for

477
00:22:46,480 --> 00:22:48,759
her this morning, she wrote back, I will be back

478
00:22:48,759 --> 00:22:52,160
soon with lunch for both of us. Do not eat

479
00:22:52,160 --> 00:22:56,000
another chocolate protein pack a smirk. Continue into my office

480
00:22:56,039 --> 00:22:58,319
and immediately pull out the device I found of Ferdinand's

481
00:22:58,359 --> 00:23:02,440
kitchen drawer, shading the windows. I begin inspecting. Although I

482
00:23:02,440 --> 00:23:04,279
have seen my dad and his friends use a similar

483
00:23:04,279 --> 00:23:07,160
to vice countless times, I admittedly have never actually used

484
00:23:07,160 --> 00:23:09,960
one myself. I start by pressing the button on the side.

485
00:23:10,519 --> 00:23:13,480
The light immediately consumes the office for radiating from the device.

486
00:23:14,200 --> 00:23:17,079
Brother Archy in text reads out, swipe up, So I

487
00:23:17,079 --> 00:23:19,680
swipe upwards on the Phoebeck display and my heart sinks.

488
00:23:20,359 --> 00:23:22,640
The device now illuminates an image of mister Hunter and

489
00:23:22,680 --> 00:23:25,759
my dad, with the text saying Mission Briefing. Under the image,

490
00:23:25,759 --> 00:23:29,599
smaller text reveals details regarding Ferdinand's involvement with Brother Arco Reach.

491
00:23:30,319 --> 00:23:32,359
I swipe up again and more text shows up at

492
00:23:32,359 --> 00:23:38,559
the bottom. Mission Briefing Ferdinand Hunter, Gabriel Hunter, Classified intel

00:24:02,440 --> 00:24:04,799
act of violence. What the hell is this about? An

500
00:24:04,799 --> 00:24:08,480
assassination Gabriel Hunter. I need to call mister Hunter immediately.

501
00:24:09,119 --> 00:24:11,720
My hand flies towards my radio on my ear. I

502
00:24:11,839 --> 00:24:14,200
rapidly tap in the sequence to call the frequency mister

503
00:24:14,279 --> 00:24:18,440
Hunter provided. After pressing the binary language frantically on the radio,

504
00:24:18,599 --> 00:24:22,839
I wait for an answer. Eventually his housekeeper picks up. Hullo,

505
00:24:23,440 --> 00:24:27,880
you've reached Gabriel Hunter's radio. He's currently indisposed. May I

506
00:24:27,920 --> 00:24:31,519
take a message? She chimes out, This is ore Ian

507
00:24:32,079 --> 00:24:34,799
wakess ass up and get to my practice. I have

508
00:24:34,920 --> 00:24:38,480
vergent news, I reply, unsuccessfully, trying to hide my anger.

509
00:24:39,039 --> 00:24:40,839
I really should have asked him about my dad when

510
00:24:40,880 --> 00:24:43,599
I had a chance. After ending the call, I pick

511
00:24:43,640 --> 00:24:45,359
up the device to see it didn't survive the fall.

512
00:24:45,960 --> 00:24:48,079
The glass on the display is shattered and the metallic

513
00:24:48,119 --> 00:24:51,200
casing puffs out like a bloated pig. Cursing myself for

514
00:24:51,279 --> 00:24:53,279
dropping the device in the first place, I pace round

515
00:24:53,279 --> 00:24:56,400
the room. Did the device hold any more secrets? The

516
00:24:56,440 --> 00:24:58,480
sound of my footsteps against the copper keeps a mew

517
00:24:58,559 --> 00:25:01,240
to temple. My tre of thoughts werves and turns on

518
00:25:01,279 --> 00:25:04,279
the beat as I speculate and reach for answers. Gabriel

519
00:25:04,359 --> 00:25:06,640
Hunter sent his son on and supposed CIBI mission to

520
00:25:06,640 --> 00:25:09,799
retaliate against a charity organization, one which he believes is

521
00:25:09,839 --> 00:25:13,319
responsible for the death no assassination of my dad. I

522
00:25:13,400 --> 00:25:15,279
love my dad, but as far as I know, he

523
00:25:15,319 --> 00:25:18,079
was not an important figure in either Ark's community, not

524
00:25:18,279 --> 00:25:20,920
enough to use the word assassinate. Why would a brother

525
00:25:21,000 --> 00:25:24,079
art group even allegedly do such a thing. His murder

526
00:25:24,119 --> 00:25:27,200
was a hate crime, a senseless, idiotic attack just for

527
00:25:27,279 --> 00:25:30,079
being from his homemark. But if that is true, why

528
00:25:30,119 --> 00:25:33,119
is the Collective's Bureau for Intelligence interested in the circumstances

529
00:25:33,160 --> 00:25:36,400
of my father's death? On that note, is Gabriel actually

530
00:25:36,440 --> 00:25:39,720
a member of the c br is ferdin end? Was

531
00:25:39,759 --> 00:25:42,559
my dad? My dancing train of thought de rails. When

532
00:25:42,559 --> 00:25:44,720
I hear the front door of the practice open, my

533
00:25:44,839 --> 00:25:46,799
heart sinks, but I am ready to confront this lying

534
00:25:46,839 --> 00:25:51,079
son of a bitch with purpose. I burst through the door. Florisa,

535
00:25:51,160 --> 00:25:54,000
who had just entered the practice, yelts, drops her bags

536
00:25:54,000 --> 00:25:58,000
of takeout orion. She says, shocked and annoyed, now, why

537
00:25:58,079 --> 00:26:00,440
to how would you do that? She lean down to

538
00:26:00,440 --> 00:26:03,519
collect the bags. Luckily they land it upright, so at

539
00:26:03,559 --> 00:26:07,920
least nothing spilled. Oh I'm sorry, I blush. I thought

540
00:26:07,960 --> 00:26:11,000
you were somebody else. I pull an ultra collapsible chair

541
00:26:11,039 --> 00:26:12,680
from a cabinet drawer and flick it open to sit

542
00:26:12,680 --> 00:26:15,680
at Cloris's desk with her. As she starts jump back

543
00:26:15,720 --> 00:26:17,960
and plait our lunch, I explain the recent developments and

544
00:26:18,000 --> 00:26:20,480
our impending guests, comforting Savory at roams full the room

545
00:26:20,519 --> 00:26:22,480
as I show her the now broken device I found.

546
00:26:22,480 --> 00:26:25,119
More importantly, I tell her about the information and the device.

547
00:26:25,200 --> 00:26:27,720
Gabriel Hunter is a CBI agent. My dad was, according

548
00:26:27,720 --> 00:26:31,160
to young Hunter's device, sassinated by this terrorist group disguised

549
00:26:31,160 --> 00:26:34,559
as a charity organization. Ferdinand Hunter was recruited by his

550
00:26:34,599 --> 00:26:37,319
father to go undercover at the organization, and so on.

551
00:26:37,960 --> 00:26:40,759
After I explain everything I know off Colorissa raises her fork,

552
00:26:40,920 --> 00:26:42,920
points it at me, and, after goving a full mouth,

553
00:26:43,039 --> 00:26:45,799
says ye keeps saying, supposedly and allegedly, like you some

554
00:26:45,880 --> 00:26:48,039
kind of lawyer, how much of this do you even believe?

555
00:26:48,079 --> 00:26:49,640
As shrugg as I take my first bite of some

556
00:26:49,759 --> 00:26:52,359
kind of needle dish. The salty, warm first bite sends

557
00:26:52,359 --> 00:26:54,599
me spiraling back to my childhood. This must be from

558
00:26:54,599 --> 00:26:56,960
the Ni brother Ar couisine joint. Well, while I'm saying,

559
00:26:57,000 --> 00:26:59,599
is Colorissa continues after taking another bite. How do we

560
00:26:59,640 --> 00:27:02,000
know miss Hunter isn't just a conspiracy nott who roped

561
00:27:02,039 --> 00:27:04,400
his son into spying on an ordinary a freach organization.

562
00:27:04,480 --> 00:27:06,640
What a Ferdinand actually found love and just couldn't tell

563
00:27:06,640 --> 00:27:09,920
his kookie dad. Great questions, beginning to speculate all the possibilities.

564
00:27:10,000 --> 00:27:11,759
I ready another bite on my fork when a knock

565
00:27:11,759 --> 00:27:13,920
in the front door and dropts our meal preceding the knock,

566
00:27:14,000 --> 00:27:17,200
the visitor walks right in. Oh terribly sorry, Gabrielle Hunter says,

567
00:27:17,279 --> 00:27:19,839
upon entering the practice. I didn't mean to interrupt anything.

568
00:27:19,920 --> 00:27:21,640
I was told to come right away. I put my

569
00:27:21,680 --> 00:27:23,680
fork down and wipe my face. No trouble at all.

570
00:27:23,720 --> 00:27:26,279
I'm glad you're here. I reply and gesture towards my office.

571
00:27:26,319 --> 00:27:29,799
Please comment. Sit. Gabrielle Hunter walks in and I follow him,

572
00:27:29,799 --> 00:27:32,400
closing the doors. I do once Gabrielle sitting down across

573
00:27:32,440 --> 00:27:34,960
from my desk, I ready my recording device for the interview.

574
00:27:35,039 --> 00:27:36,880
You I didn't slamm the brook and screen device in

575
00:27:36,880 --> 00:27:38,720
front of him. Is there anything you'd like to tell me,

576
00:27:38,799 --> 00:27:41,240
I grillham. I don't know, maybe something you left out.

577
00:27:41,279 --> 00:27:44,000
My heart races. I'm not great at confrontations, but I'm

578
00:27:44,000 --> 00:27:46,480
good at acting like I'm great at confrontations. Gabrielle looks

579
00:27:46,480 --> 00:27:48,039
at the device. He looks up at me as I

580
00:27:48,079 --> 00:27:49,839
stand next to him. Where was it who broke it?

581
00:27:49,960 --> 00:27:52,240
Gabriel asks? The device was under a false bottom in

582
00:27:52,240 --> 00:27:54,599
your son's kitchen drawer. I respond, then I broke it

583
00:27:54,640 --> 00:27:56,680
out of shock from the contents and the device. Now

584
00:27:56,720 --> 00:27:59,279
you answer my question, ha, Gabriel chuckles out the kids

585
00:27:59,359 --> 00:28:01,599
using our old tray. Well, my boy, if you read

586
00:28:01,640 --> 00:28:04,000
the mission briefing, you already know, Gabriel says, as he

587
00:28:04,039 --> 00:28:06,279
breaks eye contact and looks straight ahead. Your father was

588
00:28:06,279 --> 00:28:08,400
an the central case officer working for the CBI and

589
00:28:08,480 --> 00:28:10,640
my handler. This brother ur group found out and didn't

590
00:28:10,680 --> 00:28:12,599
like that your father was a collective apologist, so they

591
00:28:12,640 --> 00:28:14,799
had him killed. I can't process what I'm hearing. Too

592
00:28:14,839 --> 00:28:17,119
many secrets and turn at once, and now I don't

593
00:28:17,119 --> 00:28:19,839
know what to believe. Maybe I'm in shark, maybe denial.

594
00:28:20,000 --> 00:28:23,160
Keep talking. I want to hear the full story, I

595
00:28:23,240 --> 00:28:24,880
managed to blurt out as I walked to the window,

596
00:28:24,920 --> 00:28:27,039
looking out at the horizon and away from Gabrielle. I

597
00:28:27,119 --> 00:28:29,880
tried to focus what happened between you two? And why

598
00:28:29,960 --> 00:28:33,079
bring your son into this all these years later, I asked,

599
00:28:33,160 --> 00:28:35,559
confused as ever, Well, her father and I were given

600
00:28:35,599 --> 00:28:37,880
the opportunity to retire here on Sister Ark, and we

601
00:28:37,920 --> 00:28:39,839
took it, knowing the works never finished, he tells me.

602
00:28:39,880 --> 00:28:42,240
When I approached him about entering the espionage game again,

603
00:28:42,279 --> 00:28:44,480
I mentioned we needed some young agents to go under cover,

604
00:28:44,519 --> 00:28:46,480
and you suggested me and my brother. I whisper. The

605
00:28:46,480 --> 00:28:48,720
falling out starts to make more sense, and I suggest

606
00:28:48,759 --> 00:28:50,599
you and your brother, which, of course your father hates,

607
00:28:50,599 --> 00:28:52,559
to the point of him banishing me from contacting your

608
00:28:52,680 --> 00:28:56,079
entire family ever. Again, his voice breaks. I love your father,

609
00:28:56,720 --> 00:28:59,200
I loved your whole family, and now that I know

610
00:28:59,279 --> 00:29:02,240
after all these he who's responsible for his death, Why

611
00:29:02,240 --> 00:29:05,200
don't you want some type of closure? My mind races,

612
00:29:05,279 --> 00:29:08,359
failing to land on a single coherent thought. Suddenly I

613
00:29:08,359 --> 00:29:11,480
am startled by Clarissa. She knocks on the door, cracking

614
00:29:11,519 --> 00:29:13,799
open the door. She says, I'm sorry to dr out,

615
00:29:13,799 --> 00:29:17,599
but you have another visitor, seems urgent. I turn to

616
00:29:17,640 --> 00:29:19,440
face the door, and as I do, I hear the

617
00:29:19,480 --> 00:29:22,000
glass of the window behind me shutter. By the time

618
00:29:22,039 --> 00:29:24,200
I even process I heard a gun shot, I hear another.

619
00:29:24,920 --> 00:29:28,319
Something zips by my head and into Gabrielle. Clarissa screams

620
00:29:29,039 --> 00:29:31,599
she'd exists the doorway, and the office door slams open further.

621
00:29:32,200 --> 00:29:34,759
Gabrielle's nosy neighbor from before slams through the door with

622
00:29:34,799 --> 00:29:40,559
a handgun ready, shots fired, Shots fired, everybody down. The

623
00:29:40,559 --> 00:29:43,240
neighbor screams as she rushes to take cover behind my desk.

624
00:29:43,960 --> 00:29:46,680
I stand motionless, as if in hassa. I watch the

625
00:29:46,680 --> 00:29:48,599
neighbor pull gabriel out of his seat and on too

626
00:29:48,640 --> 00:29:51,599
the ground next to her. Eventually, I turned towards a

627
00:29:51,640 --> 00:29:54,759
window and examine the SHOT's origin. In the farthest distance

628
00:29:54,799 --> 00:29:57,200
possible in the ark, a quick reflective light shines from

629
00:29:57,279 --> 00:30:00,039
on top of a rusty wave generator. I blink and

630
00:30:00,039 --> 00:30:02,640
almost miss the assailants leap from the Brown's Erco machinery,

631
00:30:02,680 --> 00:30:06,440
disappearing into the water below. Call a doctor. I hear

632
00:30:06,519 --> 00:30:09,880
the neighbor cry, still in silent shock, I turn back

633
00:30:10,000 --> 00:30:11,920
just in time to see her jab a needle into Gabriel,

634
00:30:11,960 --> 00:30:15,759
whose bloodspread on my office floor. Call the police. She

635
00:30:15,839 --> 00:30:18,799
cries again as she feels for our pulse. The next

636
00:30:18,799 --> 00:30:21,839
few moments blur together. Claris rushes me out of the

637
00:30:21,839 --> 00:30:24,680
office and down to the building lobby. Within an instance,

638
00:30:24,720 --> 00:30:27,960
polisher and archaean medical officers or amos arrive and rorush

639
00:30:28,000 --> 00:30:31,079
up stairs. While the polisher presumably get a statement from

640
00:30:31,079 --> 00:30:33,000
the neighbor. The amos drag mister Hunter out of the

641
00:30:33,000 --> 00:30:35,200
building on a gurney with all sorts of medical tubes

642
00:30:35,200 --> 00:30:38,400
and wires. Paris encourages me to follow them onto their

643
00:30:38,400 --> 00:30:40,400
emergency roovers so I can ride with them to the

644
00:30:40,480 --> 00:30:43,279
Arcian medical facility. We sit in the rover and wait

645
00:30:43,319 --> 00:30:45,880
for a brief moment until the neighbor joins us. The

646
00:30:45,920 --> 00:30:47,960
next thing I know, I'm sitting in the A MF

647
00:30:48,039 --> 00:30:50,680
cafe with a cup of coffee across from Gabriel, Hunter's

648
00:30:50,680 --> 00:30:52,799
neighbor who potentially save this life. I take a long

649
00:30:52,839 --> 00:30:55,240
gulp of the shitty Lukwon coffee. The caffein laborously helps

650
00:30:55,279 --> 00:30:57,240
me collect my composure. Setting the mug down, I look

651
00:30:57,240 --> 00:30:59,599
at the neighbor with about a million different questions competing

652
00:30:59,599 --> 00:31:01,319
to leave my mouth before I can speak, though she

653
00:31:01,319 --> 00:31:03,480
goes first, so prior to getting into this, the neighbor says,

654
00:31:03,480 --> 00:31:05,599
with the full condicts lost on me, let me properly

655
00:31:05,599 --> 00:31:08,119
introduce myself. My name is special Agent Carlo Roscoe. I

656
00:31:08,240 --> 00:31:10,039
work for the CBI. She pulls out a badge and

657
00:31:10,079 --> 00:31:12,359
an idea, confirms it, and then snaps them back into

658
00:31:12,359 --> 00:31:14,759
her pockets. Now straight to business. Tell me everything gabriel

659
00:31:14,799 --> 00:31:17,240
Hunter told you, She demands. What is his involvement with

660
00:31:17,319 --> 00:31:20,519
the Brother Art Group. I look into her eyes. Something's

661
00:31:20,559 --> 00:31:23,519
not right. I mean, in addition to all the other

662
00:31:23,640 --> 00:31:27,799
not right. Shouldn't you know? I'll reply, considering Gabrielle's one

663
00:31:27,799 --> 00:31:31,119
of yours. Agent Roscoe pauses her eyebrust grunch and her

664
00:31:31,160 --> 00:31:33,480
lips purse. Agent Hunter was fired from the CBI a

665
00:31:33,519 --> 00:31:36,920
long time ago. He aggressively pursued a Brother Ark refugee

666
00:31:36,920 --> 00:31:38,920
camp that he accused of bombing that OCTI from a

667
00:31:38,920 --> 00:31:42,240
while back. Agent Roscoe states, with calm confidence, in the

668
00:31:42,240 --> 00:31:44,640
midst of this case, your father was arbitrarily gone down

669
00:31:44,680 --> 00:31:47,599
and Hunter went off the rails. Then, when our intel

670
00:31:47,640 --> 00:31:50,279
came in that the accused organization was clean. He refused

671
00:31:50,279 --> 00:31:52,920
to believe it. Hunter unable to be reasoned with when

672
00:31:52,960 --> 00:31:56,319
on a one mamoraid after he critically injured innocent owner

673
00:31:56,359 --> 00:31:58,920
of the camp, Mister Injuries, and his poor young daughter, Lizzie,

674
00:31:58,960 --> 00:32:02,640
The CBI cut Ties texts Agent Hunter entirely. Agent Rosco

675
00:32:02,680 --> 00:32:05,480
pulls out a cigarette and lights it without hesitation. The

676
00:32:05,519 --> 00:32:08,799
smell of tobacco and minfill the cafe. In between drawers

677
00:32:08,799 --> 00:32:11,440
and SIPs of her coffee, she continues, explaining Gabriel Hunter's

678
00:32:11,440 --> 00:32:14,880
paranoid delusions and extreme actions. He'd been quietly in and

679
00:32:14,960 --> 00:32:17,400
out of hasssance, but when Hunter recently reached out to

680
00:32:17,480 --> 00:32:19,759
hire you to find his son, it raised red flags

681
00:32:19,759 --> 00:32:22,960
for our guys, she says, taking another drag before continuing.

682
00:32:23,480 --> 00:32:26,160
She then speaks, with the utmost authority, you have to

683
00:32:26,200 --> 00:32:28,920
tell me everything Extant Hunter said to you. I take

684
00:32:28,920 --> 00:32:31,680
her story in sitting in silence for a moment. I

685
00:32:31,759 --> 00:32:33,599
chug my coffee further until I can feel lit in

686
00:32:33,680 --> 00:32:36,279
my teeth. Kaffinja to shoot up and down my body

687
00:32:36,319 --> 00:32:38,480
while my brain works in overtime to process every bit

688
00:32:38,519 --> 00:32:41,119
of information revealed to me today. I don't know whose

689
00:32:41,119 --> 00:32:43,720
story to trust. As much as I want to believe

690
00:32:43,720 --> 00:32:46,519
my dad was assassinated for his apparently important work, I

691
00:32:46,559 --> 00:32:49,240
struggle to picture it. The thought of my dad dying

692
00:32:49,240 --> 00:32:51,200
for something and not for nothing gives me a vague,

693
00:32:51,200 --> 00:32:55,079
profound feeling that a senseless death simply couldn't. However, believing

694
00:32:55,119 --> 00:32:57,839
that would mean trusting Gabriel Hunter, a higher awareness junkie

695
00:32:57,839 --> 00:32:59,960
who betrayed the trust of an entire branch of the government,

696
00:33:00,319 --> 00:33:03,200
not to mention my dad himself. On the flip side,

697
00:33:03,200 --> 00:33:06,400
the CBI is notorious for its secrets. My dad evidently

698
00:33:06,440 --> 00:33:09,480
kept secrets from his children his entire life. Perhaps if

699
00:33:09,519 --> 00:33:11,319
I didn't break the device, I'd have more to go

700
00:33:11,400 --> 00:33:16,599
off of. Maybe Chlorisa could REPAIRTIVE. Yet the device, my

701
00:33:16,720 --> 00:33:18,920
idiot self left it in the office amidst the commotion.

702
00:33:19,519 --> 00:33:22,920
Could Agent Roscoe have taken it? If the CBI analyzes

703
00:33:22,960 --> 00:33:25,759
the data, they'd know what's really going on. But would

704
00:33:25,759 --> 00:33:28,640
they even share the truth with me? Sweat forums on

705
00:33:28,680 --> 00:33:32,079
my warm face while I internally screen This was all avoidable.

706
00:33:32,599 --> 00:33:34,519
I should have just come back to Gabriel Hunter's house

707
00:33:34,519 --> 00:33:37,359
to interrogate him again. I shouldn't have dropped the device

708
00:33:37,400 --> 00:33:41,119
that could have potentially revealed everything. I'm a moron. Maybe

709
00:33:41,160 --> 00:33:42,960
I would have found Ferdinand by now if I want

710
00:33:42,960 --> 00:33:45,519
such a mess up. Agent Roscoe stares at me as

711
00:33:45,559 --> 00:33:47,119
I high perfix it on all of the mistakes I

712
00:33:47,160 --> 00:33:50,319
made in the past day like some hittimontoch. Her impatience

713
00:33:50,359 --> 00:33:52,519
starts to show as my mind finally mourns the last

714
00:33:52,519 --> 00:33:55,240
moments in my office with Gabrielle. I can't help but

715
00:33:55,240 --> 00:33:58,319
feel partially responsible since mister Hunter was shot in my office.

716
00:33:58,839 --> 00:34:00,839
The shooter used my window. In my introgation, is an

717
00:34:00,880 --> 00:34:05,519
opportunity to take him out. But wait, why who was

718
00:34:05,559 --> 00:34:08,199
the shooter? Sick of all the puzzles and games, I

719
00:34:08,239 --> 00:34:09,920
give a quick summary of the case so far to

720
00:34:09,920 --> 00:34:13,360
Agent Roscoe. I run through the important information without mentioning

721
00:34:13,360 --> 00:34:16,800
the device, optimistic that the CBI doesn't already have it. Eventually,

722
00:34:16,840 --> 00:34:18,840
I get to the part of the story where Gabriel's shot,

723
00:34:19,480 --> 00:34:22,000
and that's where you came in, I explain, wrapping up

724
00:34:22,039 --> 00:34:25,199
the recap of events, speaking of which, do we have

725
00:34:25,280 --> 00:34:27,960
any infawn the shooter Using the lid end of her

726
00:34:28,000 --> 00:34:31,559
previous one, Agent Roscoe lights another cigarette. It's her turn

727
00:34:31,599 --> 00:34:35,960
to process information, but she continues smoking with a blank expression, unfazed.

728
00:34:36,599 --> 00:34:38,840
After exhaling a smoke puff that dances in the space

729
00:34:38,880 --> 00:34:42,679
above our table, she replies, we're looking into it. The

730
00:34:42,760 --> 00:34:46,159
agent responds she makes no attempt at I contact, As

731
00:34:46,159 --> 00:34:48,880
she says, ex Agent Hunter made a lot of venems

732
00:34:48,880 --> 00:34:51,519
over the years, all across the Pulsix system. It could

733
00:34:51,559 --> 00:34:54,679
have been anybody. Really, she still doesn't trust me. I

734
00:34:54,719 --> 00:34:58,280
still don't trust her. We sit intense awkward silence until

735
00:34:58,280 --> 00:35:01,480
I finally ask how ferdin unfits into all of this. Well,

736
00:35:01,519 --> 00:35:04,639
we figured he found love of Agent Roscoe comments, I'm

737
00:35:04,639 --> 00:35:06,920
assuming he'll visit his father once he hears what's happened.

738
00:35:07,559 --> 00:35:10,880
From there, I excuse myself. My new top priority is

739
00:35:10,920 --> 00:35:13,280
finding an exit in the fastest way to the Administration

740
00:35:13,360 --> 00:35:16,079
office for the Outpreach program. The only way to know

741
00:35:16,159 --> 00:35:18,000
for sure what to believe is to discover the truth

742
00:35:18,000 --> 00:35:20,920
of myself. I've made mistakes during this case, but I

743
00:35:20,960 --> 00:35:23,760
was hired to find Ferdinand and that's exactly what I

744
00:35:23,800 --> 00:35:27,719
intended to do. Remembering the admin Offices address from Gabrielle's file,

745
00:35:27,760 --> 00:35:31,079
I sprint to the nearest vertical zero G lift. Unfortunately,

746
00:35:31,119 --> 00:35:33,000
the fastest way to the star Beard Low Decks is

747
00:35:33,000 --> 00:35:36,639
by two different zero G lifts. Fortunately, though I'm too

748
00:35:36,679 --> 00:35:39,320
determined to let some narsa and light vomiting slow me down.

749
00:35:39,920 --> 00:35:42,360
It's a fast journey into the neglected underbelly of the

750
00:35:42,519 --> 00:35:45,760
ark where the facility is located. The dirty lower decks

751
00:35:45,760 --> 00:35:47,920
don't see the same attention or maintenance that the upper

752
00:35:47,920 --> 00:35:50,639
and middx to you. The second zero G shuttle drops

753
00:35:50,639 --> 00:35:54,039
me off the grimy, long, stretching corridor. Every few meters

754
00:35:54,119 --> 00:35:56,960
labeled dark always branch off in opposite directions, leading to

755
00:35:57,000 --> 00:36:00,320
who knows what, turning down my destination's hallway. As slowly

756
00:36:00,320 --> 00:36:03,159
creep into the darkness, I walk past several doors with

757
00:36:03,199 --> 00:36:06,079
all types of labels. The iwareness of the low Decks

758
00:36:06,079 --> 00:36:09,960
fuels all types of conspiracies, un understandably so for all

759
00:36:10,000 --> 00:36:12,239
the doubt I have in Gabrielle's story, in this moment,

760
00:36:12,400 --> 00:36:14,880
my gut tells me to remain vigilant in this environment.

761
00:36:15,559 --> 00:36:17,639
For the first time since I holsted it this morning,

762
00:36:17,719 --> 00:36:20,920
I think about my firearm. Eventually I find a door

763
00:36:20,960 --> 00:36:24,119
that says Brothers of Odyssey at Tree Chadmund. I knock

764
00:36:24,159 --> 00:36:26,719
on the door. After a while the door is answered

765
00:36:26,719 --> 00:36:29,360
by some kid, a teenager. He greets me in a

766
00:36:29,360 --> 00:36:32,599
formal brother arkin fashion and welcomes me into the admined building.

767
00:36:33,199 --> 00:36:35,679
Upon entering, I see the front room, a small office

768
00:36:35,880 --> 00:36:39,280
represents the entirety of the building. The admin teenager sits

769
00:36:39,280 --> 00:36:41,000
behind the desk in the office and asks how he

770
00:36:41,039 --> 00:36:44,360
can help with some urgency, and without all of the details,

771
00:36:44,519 --> 00:36:47,639
explain to the teenage of the situation how Ferdinand's dad

772
00:36:47,679 --> 00:36:49,679
is in surgery right now as we speak, and that

773
00:36:49,679 --> 00:36:52,239
I am looking to deliver the news to Ferdinand. I

774
00:36:52,280 --> 00:36:54,400
ask the administrator if he knows where I can find

775
00:36:54,480 --> 00:36:57,239
him with a forced smile. The teenager quickly explains that

776
00:36:57,280 --> 00:36:59,840
he needs to make a radio call. He excuses and

777
00:37:00,039 --> 00:37:01,920
elf and rushes out of the room through the front door.

778
00:37:02,000 --> 00:37:04,559
And I trust my gup feeling more. As soon as

779
00:37:04,599 --> 00:37:06,920
the teenager leaves the office, A stand up to start

780
00:37:06,920 --> 00:37:11,719
sneaping looking around the office. Nothing incriminating comes up. In fact,

781
00:37:11,920 --> 00:37:15,039
nothing comes up at all. Throughout my search in the office,

782
00:37:15,079 --> 00:37:18,119
I don't find a single document file, a foder. There

783
00:37:18,119 --> 00:37:20,920
aren't even any knick knacks on the desk. What kind

784
00:37:20,920 --> 00:37:26,199
of teenager doesn't have nick knacks? Suddenly, my radio vibrates. Clarissa,

785
00:37:26,280 --> 00:37:31,280
I immediately answer, where are you? Are you okay, yes, yes,

786
00:37:31,320 --> 00:37:35,360
I'm fine, she replied softly. I'm probably blind in one eye,

787
00:37:35,440 --> 00:37:38,000
but that can wait. Listen, I fix the device with

788
00:37:38,000 --> 00:37:41,119
the feedback display. Are you still at the medical facility?

789
00:37:41,719 --> 00:37:45,639
You did what? I retort, flabbergasted, before I pieced together

790
00:37:45,639 --> 00:37:48,440
her first comment with her second, and I plead, please

791
00:37:48,480 --> 00:37:50,760
tell me you didn't look at the screen just with

792
00:37:50,840 --> 00:37:54,239
my left eye. She nonchalantly replies. It's a one off trick,

793
00:37:54,400 --> 00:37:57,679
but it costs the information we needed. Damn it, Clarissa,

794
00:37:58,280 --> 00:38:00,119
too good for your own good, I thought, before or

795
00:38:00,239 --> 00:38:02,599
she proceeded to ask where I was I met the

796
00:38:02,639 --> 00:38:06,039
Brothers of Odyssey or treachy admin office. I reply, I'm

797
00:38:06,079 --> 00:38:09,039
still trying to find Ferdinand. I place my hands on

798
00:38:09,039 --> 00:38:11,719
my hips as I scan the office. Hey, I think

799
00:38:11,760 --> 00:38:14,199
he might have been right. I tell her maybe this

800
00:38:14,280 --> 00:38:16,880
is just an outreach program and Elyssa and Ferdinand are

801
00:38:16,920 --> 00:38:20,280
just in love. No, that's why I called. The mission.

802
00:38:20,320 --> 00:38:24,440
Briefing also contained mission updates from Ferdinand himself. Panocrises in

803
00:38:24,480 --> 00:38:29,119
her voice. Owen, she cries, Eliza is a past victim

804
00:38:29,159 --> 00:38:32,000
of Gabrielle. They've each program is a front for some

805
00:38:32,039 --> 00:38:36,440
type of institutionalization scheme. Elizabeth Andreas is recruiting young Ochaeans

806
00:38:36,440 --> 00:38:39,719
and radicalizing them against the collective. I think she kidnapped

807
00:38:39,719 --> 00:38:42,360
Ferdinand to draw out gabriel You need to get out

808
00:38:42,360 --> 00:38:45,400
of that office or Ian now. Instead A run to

809
00:38:45,440 --> 00:38:47,960
the front door and lock it from the inside calvers.

810
00:38:48,119 --> 00:38:50,679
I say, I can't do that until I find what

811
00:38:50,719 --> 00:38:54,199
I'm looking for, which is what exactly I don't know,

812
00:38:54,360 --> 00:38:56,840
but I'll know it when I see it. I hang up.

813
00:38:57,400 --> 00:39:00,280
As soon as I hang up, the teenage administrator returns.

814
00:39:00,880 --> 00:39:03,039
He wiggles the locked door handle and denial and starts

815
00:39:03,039 --> 00:39:05,519
calling out to me, using my name, which I never gave.

816
00:39:06,239 --> 00:39:09,400
I continue scanning the room, looking for something, anything that

817
00:39:09,440 --> 00:39:13,000
could help me find Ferdinand. Maybe the teenager would lead

818
00:39:13,039 --> 00:39:16,159
me to e Liza. Suddenly, three miles of booms and

819
00:39:16,239 --> 00:39:18,679
the entire room shakes as something more aggressive than knuckle

820
00:39:18,679 --> 00:39:22,719
slams against the office door. Are eyeing Brodie, somebody else

821
00:39:22,760 --> 00:39:25,599
snarls from the other side. You are trespassing. If you

822
00:39:25,639 --> 00:39:28,519
don't open the door, we will take extreme measures. Although

823
00:39:28,559 --> 00:39:30,960
I draw my gun, I ignore the continued slams against

824
00:39:30,960 --> 00:39:33,840
the door to mind my investigation. Scanning the room top

825
00:39:33,880 --> 00:39:35,440
to bottom, I make my way to the end of

826
00:39:35,440 --> 00:39:37,440
the office and no descrapes against the hard floor in

827
00:39:37,440 --> 00:39:40,079
front of the far wall. Whip my free hand, I

828
00:39:40,159 --> 00:39:42,400
knock against the back wall, and the sand of roberrates

829
00:39:42,400 --> 00:39:44,840
through the hollow other side, and there it is. I

830
00:39:44,880 --> 00:39:47,239
found what I didn't know I was seeking. I set

831
00:39:47,239 --> 00:39:49,280
my gun down on the desk behind me and examine

832
00:39:49,280 --> 00:39:51,960
the wolf for where it might open. Meanwhile, the slums

833
00:39:51,960 --> 00:39:53,960
and the door grow more and more violent, increasing my

834
00:39:54,039 --> 00:39:57,519
sense of urgency. The metallic doors intigrity holds, but the

835
00:39:57,519 --> 00:40:00,440
lock or hinges will break eventually. Then they kill me

836
00:40:00,480 --> 00:40:02,400
the way they try to kill Gabrielle, unless I find

837
00:40:02,400 --> 00:40:05,000
a way through this wall. Desperate, I pick up the

838
00:40:05,000 --> 00:40:06,960
desk chair and throw it towards the closed hid an

839
00:40:07,039 --> 00:40:09,800
entry away. The wall rejects the chair, bouncing it back

840
00:40:09,840 --> 00:40:12,800
towards me. After catching the chair, I arrange it in

841
00:40:12,840 --> 00:40:15,440
my hand to start mimicking the invaders outside the office.

842
00:40:16,079 --> 00:40:18,400
Chaer thuds against the wall as I ram it repeatedly,

843
00:40:18,480 --> 00:40:20,679
battering over and over about twice the pace as the

844
00:40:20,679 --> 00:40:23,880
actual battering ram against the office door. After a while,

845
00:40:24,000 --> 00:40:26,400
the chair legs start to degrade and crumble against the wall.

846
00:40:27,000 --> 00:40:30,480
Tit now what? The door starts to rattle in its

847
00:40:30,519 --> 00:40:33,159
frame more and more with each boom. I grab my

848
00:40:33,159 --> 00:40:35,039
gun and shoot multiple shots at the back wall of

849
00:40:35,039 --> 00:40:38,159
the office. No ricochet, so I assume the bullets fly

850
00:40:38,239 --> 00:40:41,280
straight through. After empting a full clip, I reload my

851
00:40:41,320 --> 00:40:44,679
gun and examine the bullet holes. Although the battering chare

852
00:40:44,800 --> 00:40:47,360
wasn't successful, the back wall seems thin basein the holes.

853
00:40:48,000 --> 00:40:50,440
I have to try again with something else. I look

854
00:40:50,480 --> 00:40:52,840
around the office for anything sturdy enough to ram against

855
00:40:52,840 --> 00:40:55,239
a wall, and suddenly I am out of time. The

856
00:40:55,280 --> 00:40:57,960
door flies off its frame, making a dramatic loud noise

857
00:40:57,960 --> 00:41:00,840
against the floor. Two men enter the office, one with

858
00:41:00,880 --> 00:41:04,119
the shotgun, one with the battering ram. Ryan Brody. The

859
00:41:04,199 --> 00:41:06,679
man with the shotgun scolds you are trespassing on brother

860
00:41:06,800 --> 00:41:09,880
Arc territory. He raises his goune towards me and states,

861
00:41:09,960 --> 00:41:12,119
put the webbon down and we can resolve this peacefully.

862
00:41:12,719 --> 00:41:16,719
Where's Ferdinand Hunter? I reply, guns still in hand. The

863
00:41:16,719 --> 00:41:18,679
two men share a quick glance before the one holding

864
00:41:18,679 --> 00:41:20,719
a battering ram says there's nobody by that name. In

865
00:41:20,760 --> 00:41:23,320
the volunteer registry. But if you come with us, maybe

866
00:41:23,400 --> 00:41:25,800
we can help you find him. My grip tightens as

867
00:41:25,800 --> 00:41:27,880
I stare at the men for what feels like an eternity,

868
00:41:28,400 --> 00:41:30,559
while the men glare back at me. My face flashes

869
00:41:30,599 --> 00:41:33,199
and my heart pounds. Looking down the barrel of the

870
00:41:33,199 --> 00:41:36,559
shotgun end at my chest, I calculate every option atension

871
00:41:36,599 --> 00:41:38,599
brings time to a crawling halt, and a few moments

872
00:41:38,639 --> 00:41:41,440
last a lifetime. My entire day leading up to now

873
00:41:41,440 --> 00:41:43,159
displays in my head like its on a vivid brother

874
00:41:43,199 --> 00:41:46,440
ox green. Then I drop to the ground. The man

875
00:41:46,440 --> 00:41:48,679
with the shotgun blast the spread fire above my head.

876
00:41:49,320 --> 00:41:52,800
Meanwhile I take my shop. It's a hit right in

877
00:41:52,880 --> 00:41:56,760
his shoulder. He falls to the ground immediately. I jump

878
00:41:56,800 --> 00:41:58,239
back to my feet and take a shot at the

879
00:41:58,239 --> 00:42:00,559
man with the battering ram, but he's already down and

880
00:42:00,599 --> 00:42:03,760
reaching for his companion's whippon. The paper thin wall behind me,

881
00:42:04,079 --> 00:42:06,480
now presenting a gaping hole from the shotgun spread fire

882
00:42:06,679 --> 00:42:09,400
my exit. With all my might, I leaped towards the

883
00:42:09,440 --> 00:42:11,880
hole in the wolf's shoulder first to break through. As

884
00:42:11,920 --> 00:42:14,119
I passed through the barrier, the sound of shotgun fire

885
00:42:14,159 --> 00:42:17,760
follows after landing on the ground Somehown's gate. I immediately

886
00:42:17,800 --> 00:42:21,440
smell a familiar stench Stayslein, the reaking component that makes

887
00:42:21,480 --> 00:42:24,920
hyper aware suspended animission possible. I look up and see

888
00:42:24,920 --> 00:42:27,760
a Dame Brown warehouse of rose and rosa Stace's pods.

889
00:42:28,400 --> 00:42:31,320
I'm in a Hasse house, rolling over on my back,

890
00:42:31,480 --> 00:42:34,199
I look towards the hole leading to the administration office.

891
00:42:34,679 --> 00:42:36,920
The second man takes a step through, and I shoot

892
00:42:37,000 --> 00:42:39,519
him in the leg. He yells and drops to the ground,

893
00:42:39,719 --> 00:42:42,639
releasing the shotgun on the way down. As I stand up,

894
00:42:42,719 --> 00:42:47,280
commotion materializes. Passive attendants round the corners of various Stace's pods.

895
00:42:47,360 --> 00:42:50,519
A dozen attendants, one for each dozen pods, stand defenseless

896
00:42:50,519 --> 00:42:53,039
before me. I raise my gun towards the closest one,

897
00:42:53,440 --> 00:42:57,440
where is Ferdinand Hunter. I spit out. The scared attendant

898
00:42:57,480 --> 00:43:00,480
silently knod his head in a general direction show me.

899
00:43:01,159 --> 00:43:03,400
He then ushers me in the direction he nodded, trudging

900
00:43:03,400 --> 00:43:06,039
with my gun at his back. Every pot I inspect

901
00:43:06,039 --> 00:43:08,440
all the way contains a subject my age or younger.

902
00:43:09,079 --> 00:43:12,880
Many have brother arcan symbols tattooed or even branded. Eventually,

903
00:43:12,920 --> 00:43:16,000
the attendant stops and points He points directly at a

904
00:43:16,000 --> 00:43:18,440
pod that contains a face I only recognize from pictures,

905
00:43:18,599 --> 00:43:21,880
but a face I recognize all the same. Ferdinand Hunter

906
00:43:22,559 --> 00:43:27,440
there he is in stasays right in front of me, smiling.

907
00:43:27,519 --> 00:43:30,119
I turned to the attendant and send him away, and

908
00:43:30,199 --> 00:43:32,519
he runs, and I focus back in the hassepot to

909
00:43:32,519 --> 00:43:34,360
wake Ferdinand up. When the sound of a high caliber

910
00:43:34,360 --> 00:43:38,159
gunshot explodes through the air. I look around, confused. My

911
00:43:38,239 --> 00:43:40,280
scam brings me back to the attendant, who help me.

912
00:43:40,840 --> 00:43:43,840
He's now no longer running, He's face down on the ground.

913
00:43:44,079 --> 00:43:47,199
Several yards away. A woman turns the corner and walks

914
00:43:47,239 --> 00:43:50,280
towards me, obstructing my view of the attendant, as couldn't

915
00:43:50,280 --> 00:43:52,159
to see her in it, delighting only to notice that

916
00:43:52,239 --> 00:43:54,960
she carries the high caliber gun in her hands. By

917
00:43:55,000 --> 00:43:57,199
the time I recognize she's aiming the gun in my direction,

918
00:43:57,440 --> 00:44:01,039
it's too late. Another shot rings at She lowers her

919
00:44:01,039 --> 00:44:03,239
weapon and continues to advance towards me. When I feel

920
00:44:03,280 --> 00:44:06,199
my shirt dampen around my stomach, I inspect the wet

921
00:44:06,199 --> 00:44:09,800
spot with my free hand. I'm bleeding. Only then does

922
00:44:09,800 --> 00:44:11,880
the pain hit and I collatse to my knees, trying

923
00:44:11,920 --> 00:44:14,880
to hold myself up with Ferdinand's pod. The woman draws

924
00:44:14,880 --> 00:44:18,519
closer and I don't have the strength to raise my weapon. Thelyssa,

925
00:44:18,880 --> 00:44:21,440
I cry up, you don't have to do this, Please,

926
00:44:22,119 --> 00:44:25,119
don't do this. She silently aims her weapon at me

927
00:44:25,159 --> 00:44:28,480
again as she approaches. When I notice she's crying, Lizzie,

928
00:44:28,480 --> 00:44:32,960
I whisper please. Her voice breaks as she snaps, this

929
00:44:33,119 --> 00:44:35,920
is for brother orke from my father. Oh loud crack.

930
00:44:36,599 --> 00:44:39,920
I open my eyes and Elizabeth looks confused. Her weapon

931
00:44:39,960 --> 00:44:43,039
drops to the ground and she follows. Standing behind her,

932
00:44:43,119 --> 00:44:45,440
Clarissa in an eye patch, points a fire arm in

933
00:44:45,480 --> 00:44:48,159
our direction. Smoke still floats from the end of the

934
00:44:48,159 --> 00:44:51,079
gun that shakes rapidly in her hand. She drops the

935
00:44:51,079 --> 00:44:56,039
weapon and rushes towards me. Owin. Clarisa shouts, don't you

936
00:44:56,079 --> 00:44:59,519
ever hang up on me again. I could have helped chit.

937
00:45:00,280 --> 00:45:03,880
She blurts out, you've been shot. Oh that's what that is,

938
00:45:03,920 --> 00:45:09,159
I respond, mind unintentionally sounding sarcastic, you know, or somehow

939
00:45:09,199 --> 00:45:12,199
even more beautiful with an eye patch, she reaches down

940
00:45:12,239 --> 00:45:14,280
to help me, applying pressure on the gunshot wound with

941
00:45:14,320 --> 00:45:16,840
one hand. She radius for an emergency responds team with

942
00:45:16,880 --> 00:45:19,400
the other. The side of her face goes blurry. While

943
00:45:19,400 --> 00:45:22,119
I babble on about the Hunters, the Yandreas and my dad.

944
00:45:22,760 --> 00:45:25,719
I know Oriyan. She says, we're going to get you

945
00:45:25,760 --> 00:45:27,960
in Ferdinand out of here, don't emojing sirens from the

946
00:45:28,000 --> 00:45:30,800
Palisher and Amos Blair's chorus continues to comfort me. A

947
00:45:30,800 --> 00:45:33,119
few day cycles later, the whole above the main deck

948
00:45:33,159 --> 00:45:35,239
slide shut and receives a projiction of a dun sky.

949
00:45:35,400 --> 00:45:37,800
Fictitious clouds pretend to reflect a golden pink back to

950
00:45:37,840 --> 00:45:39,960
the fakes on the display. From my office, I breathe

951
00:45:39,960 --> 00:45:41,519
in a new date when my radio buzz is in

952
00:45:41,519 --> 00:45:45,159
an unexpected pattern. Kip, my groggy voice, croaks for Ion.

953
00:45:45,840 --> 00:45:48,320
My brother replies in a mocking tone, what's up? Man?

954
00:45:48,920 --> 00:45:51,679
Heard ye save the day and gut shot and mister

955
00:45:51,719 --> 00:45:55,360
Hunter's dead. You gotta tell me everything. I chuckle and

956
00:45:55,400 --> 00:45:57,679
then cringe. It hurts to laugh as saw a wave

957
00:45:57,800 --> 00:45:59,400
washes of a mere as at Helkip the recap of

958
00:45:59,400 --> 00:46:01,920
that day and in all of the conspiracy surrounding mister

959
00:46:02,000 --> 00:46:04,079
unto his life that led to his death. Surprisingly, Kip

960
00:46:04,119 --> 00:46:06,280
digests the news of our father being a CBI agent

961
00:46:06,320 --> 00:46:08,440
with these. Eventually I tell the whole tale to my

962
00:46:08,480 --> 00:46:10,760
brother that led to the Hassa house. So yeah, more

963
00:46:10,920 --> 00:46:13,280
like Larriss saved me in Ferdinand after I got shot.

964
00:46:13,360 --> 00:46:15,880
I finished my story. Hey, speaking of Hassa, I thought

965
00:46:15,960 --> 00:46:17,760
you were supposed to be in stasis to yourself right

966
00:46:17,800 --> 00:46:20,599
now a comment, sounding ungrateful for the radio call, Well,

967
00:46:20,639 --> 00:46:22,639
he says after a pause, I told them to wake

968
00:46:22,679 --> 00:46:25,639
me up for to day. Well in advance, you know why, right?

969
00:46:26,440 --> 00:46:28,400
I start to think about all the significant dates in

970
00:46:28,400 --> 00:46:30,920
our lives. Today. Isn't anybody's special birthday? Is it some

971
00:46:30,960 --> 00:46:33,159
anniversary of when we left our home? Ark? Not any

972
00:46:33,159 --> 00:46:35,599
anniversary of when our dad died? I know that today.

973
00:46:35,719 --> 00:46:38,400
My brother Kip states, thanks to Hassa, you're officially my

974
00:46:38,400 --> 00:46:41,400
older brother, the eldest Brodie. As such, you should know

975
00:46:41,480 --> 00:46:44,719
our family history, he continues, joking dryly, our family secrets.

976
00:46:45,360 --> 00:46:47,159
Kit goes on to tell me that he's actually known

977
00:46:47,199 --> 00:46:50,199
about our dad's occupation. In fact, he knew more details

978
00:46:50,239 --> 00:46:52,920
about his job and even mister Hunter's conspiracies than I did.

979
00:46:53,000 --> 00:46:55,119
At the end of his monologue, he reveals one more

980
00:46:55,159 --> 00:46:58,239
truth something he much to my outrage, with help from

981
00:46:58,280 --> 00:47:01,360
me since he left Kip's reasonfully orion. I'm joining the

982
00:47:01,360 --> 00:47:03,920
Collector's Bureau of Intelligence. Kit says, I'm going to be

983
00:47:03,920 --> 00:47:06,639
a part of a negotiation committee arranged by the Corey Daniels.

984
00:47:06,639 --> 00:47:09,400
The young speaker from the promenade decks she wants to

985
00:47:09,480 --> 00:47:12,039
arrange a peace conference between brother Ark and a collective.

986
00:47:12,719 --> 00:47:15,400
I mean, maybe we'll even go home some day. All

987
00:47:15,440 --> 00:47:17,920
I hear is kIPS joining the c B I my

988
00:47:18,000 --> 00:47:20,760
older brother. No younger brother will be a ceb I agent.

989
00:47:21,360 --> 00:47:24,559
I bite my tongue withdrawing my opinion and simply congratulate him.

990
00:47:25,079 --> 00:47:27,159
Who knows, Maybe I'll learn to trust the Bureau With

991
00:47:27,239 --> 00:47:29,719
Kip on the inside. My brother and I speak on

992
00:47:29,760 --> 00:47:32,880
the radio for another hour. After hanging up, I think

993
00:47:32,920 --> 00:47:34,639
how my father would be proud of him for joining

994
00:47:34,639 --> 00:47:37,679
a greater cause. Then I surprise myself by thinking about

995
00:47:37,679 --> 00:47:39,920
how my father would be proud of me too. My

996
00:47:40,039 --> 00:47:43,199
eyes swell, my mind wonders, but I snap back when

997
00:47:43,199 --> 00:47:46,159
I hear a gentle knock on my office door. Hey, Oriyan,

998
00:47:46,280 --> 00:47:48,039
I know you said to hold off on new cases

999
00:47:48,079 --> 00:47:50,199
while we transferred ownership of the practice to me, So

1000
00:47:50,280 --> 00:47:51,960
I at least typed up what was on your recording

1001
00:47:51,960 --> 00:47:55,679
device for now. You've listened to this, right, because well,

1002
00:47:56,320 --> 00:47:58,360
I look up and stare into her beaming blue eye,

1003
00:47:58,480 --> 00:48:01,320
missing the one hidden by the patch. I've listened to it,

1004
00:48:01,679 --> 00:48:06,159
but I'll still read over what you typed. Thanks, I reply, Hey, Claressa,

1005
00:48:06,880 --> 00:48:10,079
I ask, yes, would you like to go on a

1006
00:48:10,119 --> 00:48:12,320
date with me? I'd love to visit that Brother Ark

1007
00:48:12,400 --> 00:48:15,480
restaurant we got takeout from the other day. Plorisa stares

1008
00:48:15,519 --> 00:48:18,400
at me and smirks. Oh, I'd love to, she replies,

1009
00:48:19,079 --> 00:48:21,400
but that'd be tricky since your mother made his lunches.

1010
00:48:22,039 --> 00:48:25,239
Maybe we should just go visit her. I chuckle, which hurts,

1011
00:48:25,280 --> 00:48:28,960
but I don't mind here. That'll probably make us all happy, honestly,

1012
00:48:29,000 --> 00:48:33,039
A comment, and we exit the office together. Keep talking.

1013
00:48:33,639 --> 00:48:36,199
I want to hear the full story. What happened between

1014
00:48:36,239 --> 00:48:38,639
you two and why bring your son into this all

1015
00:48:38,639 --> 00:48:41,599
these years later? Well, your father and I were given

1016
00:48:41,639 --> 00:48:44,119
the opportunity to retire here on Sister Ark, and we

1017
00:48:44,199 --> 00:48:47,440
took it, knowing the works never finished. When I approached

1018
00:48:47,519 --> 00:48:50,039
him about entering the espionage game again, I mention we

1019
00:48:50,119 --> 00:48:52,719
needed some young agents to go under cover, and I

1020
00:48:52,800 --> 00:48:54,960
suggest you and your brother, which, of course your father

1021
00:48:55,000 --> 00:48:57,159
hates to the point of him banishing me from contacting

1022
00:48:57,159 --> 00:49:00,719
your entire family ever again. I loved your father, I

1023
00:49:00,800 --> 00:49:03,360
love your whole family. And now that I know, after

1024
00:49:03,400 --> 00:49:06,159
all these years, who's responsible for his death, Well, don't

1025
00:49:06,159 --> 00:49:09,239
you want some type of closure. I'm sorry to interrupt,

1026
00:49:09,280 --> 00:49:13,679
but you have another visitor. It seems urgent. Shots fired,

1027
00:49:14,280 --> 00:49:19,280
shots fired, everybody down, Call the polisher, Call a doctor,

1028
00:49:19,880 --> 00:49:22,599
Call the polisher. At this point there is some dead

1029
00:49:22,639 --> 00:49:24,880
air followed by commotion as mister Bertie leaves the office

1030
00:49:24,880 --> 00:49:29,239
and almost dragged mister Hunter's body out. And that is

1031
00:49:29,280 --> 00:49:31,719
the end. Thank you for listening, and I will see

1032
00:49:31,760 --> 00:49:39,679
you in the next one.
