00:00:01,480 --> 00:00:05,519
Speaker 1: Theme party of the podcast episode one, The Reach by

2
00:00:05,559 --> 00:00:06,240
Lindsey Vaughn.

3
00:00:07,799 --> 00:00:09,320
Speaker 2: Come on, Jack, We're almost there.

4
00:00:10,679 --> 00:00:14,800
Speaker 3: I'm swimming as fast as I can. I'm down at

5
00:00:14,839 --> 00:00:16,199
tentacle now remember.

6
00:00:16,280 --> 00:00:19,920
Speaker 4: Okay, yeah, just hurry up, Stumpy, It's just down there.

7
00:00:20,280 --> 00:00:26,920
Speaker 2: Uh okay, this is it? Help me push this?

8
00:00:31,879 --> 00:00:34,600
Speaker 3: WHOA what is it?

9
00:00:35,079 --> 00:00:35,880
Speaker 2: Our future?

10
00:00:37,359 --> 00:00:41,759
Speaker 4: The stories are old, older than my parents, even my grandparents.

11
00:00:42,320 --> 00:00:44,880
I never got to meet any of them, but we're

12
00:00:44,920 --> 00:00:48,439
connected by a common goal to become more than we are.

13
00:00:49,280 --> 00:00:51,960
When the humans started dropping their artifacts in the ocean,

14
00:00:52,479 --> 00:00:54,920
most saw it as a gift, using them as tools

15
00:00:55,000 --> 00:00:57,920
or shelters. But some of us see the truth. We

16
00:00:58,159 --> 00:01:02,960
are under attack. To protect our civilization, my ancestors formed

17
00:01:02,960 --> 00:01:06,280
a secret society known as the Vision. A select few

18
00:01:06,319 --> 00:01:09,560
are chosen by them every generation to continue the mission.

19
00:01:10,120 --> 00:01:12,519
I am one of the chosen. Each of us works

20
00:01:12,519 --> 00:01:16,200
alone in parallel building machines we can use to bring

21
00:01:16,239 --> 00:01:20,439
about the end of the humans and save octopus kind.

22
00:01:28,480 --> 00:01:31,959
Speaker 3: Arder number six clams with a side of snail beds.

23
00:01:32,519 --> 00:01:40,040
That's us, Thank you. Oh these snail bits are perfect today.

24
00:01:42,400 --> 00:01:45,319
All right, you're gonna have some. You usually down them

25
00:01:45,359 --> 00:01:47,280
before I even get a chance to have any.

26
00:01:47,319 --> 00:01:51,239
Speaker 4: H Oh, yeah, hey.

27
00:01:51,840 --> 00:01:54,120
Speaker 3: I know this is a tough day for you. From

28
00:01:54,159 --> 00:01:57,159
the stories your aunt Silla tells, it sounds like your

29
00:01:57,200 --> 00:01:59,840
mom was a really amazing person.

30
00:02:00,400 --> 00:02:03,400
Speaker 4: Each anniversary that passes without finishing the suit, I feel

31
00:02:03,439 --> 00:02:05,359
more and more like I'm letting her down.

32
00:02:06,120 --> 00:02:06,560
Speaker 2: I just.

33
00:02:08,319 --> 00:02:11,199
Speaker 3: I wish I could have known her. I won't pretend

34
00:02:11,280 --> 00:02:14,240
to know what it's like to know who your parents were,

35
00:02:14,879 --> 00:02:18,039
but I imagine growing up hearing stories about them makes

36
00:02:18,080 --> 00:02:21,879
them feel more like a memory and less of an idea.

37
00:02:22,080 --> 00:02:24,840
She didn't finish the suit either, and I'm sure she

38
00:02:24,879 --> 00:02:26,840
would be proud you're continuing the work.

39
00:02:28,120 --> 00:02:32,400
Speaker 5: Coral Woman Tide spoke again today at a peace rally

40
00:02:32,560 --> 00:02:36,400
following a spat of stockpile thefts suspected of being connected

41
00:02:36,400 --> 00:02:40,039
to a group of anti human activists. Let's hear what

42
00:02:40,080 --> 00:02:40,879
she had to say.

43
00:02:41,599 --> 00:02:46,400
Speaker 6: Because of these artifacts, we've made significant strides in medicine

44
00:02:46,479 --> 00:02:50,439
and infrastructure. Our communities are better off than they were

45
00:02:50,479 --> 00:02:53,759
just a few short generations ago. Have there been some

46
00:02:54,000 --> 00:02:59,360
unfortunate tragedies. Of course, no one is downplaying the losses

47
00:02:59,479 --> 00:03:05,000
we have, but we've adapted. We are no longer vulnerable

48
00:03:05,199 --> 00:03:09,840
or helpless. The idea that these artifacts are being dropped

49
00:03:09,879 --> 00:03:13,120
on us as an act of war is outdated and ignorant.

50
00:03:13,520 --> 00:03:16,599
Speaker 5: She will be speaking again later this month at community

51
00:03:16,680 --> 00:03:17,719
gathering in Soul.

52
00:03:17,800 --> 00:03:19,439
Speaker 4: Has no idea what she's talking about.

53
00:03:19,599 --> 00:03:22,599
Speaker 3: I don't know. Her ideas seem to be getting a

54
00:03:22,639 --> 00:03:23,439
lot of support.

55
00:03:23,680 --> 00:03:26,599
Speaker 4: Today, of all days, she gets up there in front

56
00:03:26,599 --> 00:03:30,639
of all those people, and it's an insults everything my

57
00:03:30,719 --> 00:03:31,560
mother worked for.

58
00:03:31,800 --> 00:03:35,960
Speaker 3: Hey, listen, forget about Octavia. I heard there's a new

59
00:03:36,039 --> 00:03:41,840
Goldfish Chase movie playing at the cinema. Apparently Kremlincarp actually

60
00:03:42,000 --> 00:03:45,759
dies in this one. And you've had me working my

61
00:03:46,039 --> 00:03:50,680
beak off in that stuffy workshop. A little fun isn't

62
00:03:50,680 --> 00:03:51,240
gonna hurt.

63
00:03:51,479 --> 00:03:51,840
Speaker 2: I don't know.

64
00:03:51,960 --> 00:03:54,400
Speaker 4: I should really get back. I still have a lot

65
00:03:54,439 --> 00:03:55,960
of soldering left to do on the suit.

66
00:03:56,240 --> 00:03:59,879
Speaker 3: Well. I'd offer to help, but you just about burn

67
00:04:00,080 --> 00:04:03,680
another one of my tentacles clean off last time. I'm

68
00:04:03,719 --> 00:04:06,159
gonna be down to just six at this rate.

69
00:04:06,479 --> 00:04:11,639
Speaker 4: It wasn't that bad, and I told you to be careful.

70
00:04:11,800 --> 00:04:14,120
You're still coming by tomorrow to help me, though, right.

71
00:04:14,719 --> 00:04:17,879
I got a fancy shark couterie board I don't know,

72
00:04:18,120 --> 00:04:23,600
with baked bream and oyster crackers, and I made my

73
00:04:23,639 --> 00:04:29,879
own sea pickles from actual sea cucumbers. Okay, fine, great,

74
00:04:30,240 --> 00:04:31,800
now pass me those snail bits.

75
00:04:35,680 --> 00:04:38,199
Speaker 3: Remind me why I need to paint this thing.

76
00:04:38,199 --> 00:04:40,839
Speaker 4: Because I want to look scary.

77
00:04:41,079 --> 00:04:43,360
Speaker 3: How are sea hotters gonna scare them?

78
00:04:43,600 --> 00:04:45,439
Speaker 4: Can you think of anything scarier?

79
00:04:46,560 --> 00:04:49,600
Speaker 3: But the humans don't even live in the sea, they

80
00:04:49,600 --> 00:04:50,680
wouldn't be scared of.

81
00:04:50,920 --> 00:04:53,079
Speaker 4: Fine, then what do you suggest.

82
00:04:52,839 --> 00:04:54,920
Speaker 3: I suggest just forgetting this whole thing?

83
00:04:55,240 --> 00:04:55,720
Speaker 2: Gem?

84
00:04:55,879 --> 00:05:00,879
Speaker 3: Kidding sort of? Aren't you even a little bit worried

85
00:05:01,240 --> 00:05:05,360
about what I don't know, reaching the surface and getting

86
00:05:05,519 --> 00:05:07,199
destroyed by the humans?

87
00:05:07,720 --> 00:05:07,800
Speaker 6: Not?

88
00:05:08,199 --> 00:05:08,560
Speaker 2: Really?

89
00:05:09,160 --> 00:05:12,959
Speaker 3: Well I am. I keep having these terrible dreams that

90
00:05:13,000 --> 00:05:16,040
your suit cracks open on you and you you know

91
00:05:21,800 --> 00:05:23,319
it'll take care of Ploppy here.

92
00:05:25,600 --> 00:05:29,040
Speaker 4: Well, then let's make sure it's extra dirty and he's

93
00:05:29,079 --> 00:05:32,600
coming with me. Isn't that right, my little pluppy?

94
00:05:32,600 --> 00:05:36,560
Speaker 3: Oh no, it's not just that though. Do you know

95
00:05:36,600 --> 00:05:39,399
how many times I've almost been caught taking things from

96
00:05:39,480 --> 00:05:43,959
the stockpile? I could lose my job. Inventory is a

97
00:05:44,040 --> 00:05:46,959
really cushy gig, and I do not want to go

98
00:05:47,079 --> 00:05:49,160
back to working in the chum factories.

99
00:05:50,079 --> 00:05:52,800
Speaker 4: It'll look so much more suspicious. If I'm the one

100
00:05:52,839 --> 00:05:56,600
snooping around there, runs like me are not authorized to

101
00:05:56,600 --> 00:05:57,759
go near the stockpile.

102
00:05:58,240 --> 00:05:59,639
Speaker 3: I still don't like this.

103
00:06:00,160 --> 00:06:05,879
Speaker 4: I know those otters look awesome. By the way, thanks.

104
00:06:07,000 --> 00:06:12,480
Speaker 3: Two, three, four. I don't think anyone's going to miss

105
00:06:12,480 --> 00:06:19,040
one of these. Okay, next is Tuberware? What the heck

106
00:06:19,120 --> 00:06:24,480
is tuperware? Knock Octavia. I was just about to bring

107
00:06:24,519 --> 00:06:25,920
you the final counts.

108
00:06:26,000 --> 00:06:28,120
Speaker 7: I've been at my desk all day. I needed to

109
00:06:28,160 --> 00:06:30,600
take a little swim. Anything missing this.

110
00:06:30,600 --> 00:06:35,399
Speaker 3: Week doesn't look like it yet, but I will definitely

111
00:06:35,480 --> 00:06:36,720
let you know right away.

112
00:06:37,800 --> 00:06:39,959
Speaker 7: I don't know how to get through to these people.

113
00:06:41,040 --> 00:06:45,160
They don't think past their own selfish urges. We need

114
00:06:45,199 --> 00:06:49,160
to look after ourselves and our communities. There is nothing

115
00:06:49,279 --> 00:06:53,160
up there for us but death. Do you know what

116
00:06:53,199 --> 00:06:57,000
I see when I walk in this room. I see hope.

117
00:06:58,040 --> 00:07:01,959
I see fabrics that will be bandages. I see metal

118
00:07:02,000 --> 00:07:05,680
that will become homes. I see tools to better trap

119
00:07:05,720 --> 00:07:11,759
our food and feed our families. These are gifts. What

120
00:07:11,800 --> 00:07:13,639
do you think about all of this?

121
00:07:14,439 --> 00:07:14,519
Speaker 6: Me?

122
00:07:15,439 --> 00:07:21,240
Speaker 3: Oh, I don't know. People are scared and angry, but

123
00:07:21,279 --> 00:07:24,160
I agree. I don't think anything good can come of this.

124
00:07:25,120 --> 00:07:27,519
I just don't know how we're supposed to make people

125
00:07:28,439 --> 00:07:29,360
understand that.

126
00:07:29,920 --> 00:07:36,079
Speaker 7: Well, some people might never understand, but we need to

127
00:07:36,199 --> 00:07:40,160
keep trying. I was elected by those who want peace,

128
00:07:40,720 --> 00:07:43,399
and I need to do everything I can to make

129
00:07:43,439 --> 00:07:44,680
that our reality.

130
00:07:44,839 --> 00:07:46,720
Speaker 3: And if they still don't listen.

131
00:07:46,839 --> 00:07:52,720
Speaker 7: We make them listen. Well, it's just about lunchtime. Please

132
00:07:52,759 --> 00:07:55,040
be sure to put the finished inventory list on my

133
00:07:55,199 --> 00:08:01,680
desk when you're done.

134
00:08:02,600 --> 00:08:03,879
Speaker 2: Oh good, did you bring the bolts?

135
00:08:04,199 --> 00:08:09,959
Speaker 4: Yeah, but careful, you almost bumped into Ploppy. You're okay, little.

136
00:08:10,639 --> 00:08:14,720
Speaker 3: Good, Sorry, but we really need to talk.

137
00:08:15,000 --> 00:08:16,399
Speaker 2: Just put the boats over there.

138
00:08:16,560 --> 00:08:18,920
Speaker 4: I can't start sealing the upper chamber until the arms

139
00:08:18,920 --> 00:08:19,439
are attacked.

140
00:08:19,639 --> 00:08:22,079
Speaker 3: Okay, but Coral, I don't know here.

141
00:08:22,279 --> 00:08:24,480
Speaker 4: Where I'll be, so it needs to be water tight.

142
00:08:24,879 --> 00:08:27,079
Only the recirculator and the onboard computer.

143
00:08:27,279 --> 00:08:32,879
Speaker 3: Coral, what I'm out. People are starting to ask questions,

144
00:08:33,600 --> 00:08:37,559
they notice things going missing, and I can't keep lying.

145
00:08:38,639 --> 00:08:41,879
These bolts are the last thing I can steal for you.

146
00:08:41,919 --> 00:08:45,519
Speaker 4: No, we've been over this. It's so close to being done.

147
00:08:45,759 --> 00:08:48,840
You know how important this is. I know, but oh

148
00:08:48,879 --> 00:08:51,000
and I'm gonna need more glass for this part up here.

149
00:08:51,320 --> 00:08:54,080
I'm thinking of extending the chamber for better vision.

150
00:08:53,879 --> 00:08:57,320
Speaker 3: And you stop working for like two seconds and just

151
00:08:57,600 --> 00:09:05,799
listen to me. Look when you showed me this all

152
00:09:05,840 --> 00:09:09,120
those years ago and told me how important it was

153
00:09:09,200 --> 00:09:11,559
for you to finish it, I was all on board.

154
00:09:11,679 --> 00:09:16,080
But maybe maybe it's time to put this to rest.

155
00:09:16,360 --> 00:09:18,000
Speaker 4: You've been listening to Octavia.

156
00:09:18,080 --> 00:09:21,240
Speaker 3: She just wants what's best for all of us. Do

157
00:09:21,279 --> 00:09:24,519
you even know how many humans there are now? And

158
00:09:24,559 --> 00:09:27,480
do you think what a rickety suit made of their

159
00:09:27,519 --> 00:09:30,159
own artifacts is going to change the world?

160
00:09:30,519 --> 00:09:34,720
Speaker 4: I do, and I made a promise that means something

161
00:09:34,720 --> 00:09:38,679
to some people. You know, and everything Octavia knows about

162
00:09:38,720 --> 00:09:42,000
humans would fit in the tip of my tentacle. Jem.

163
00:09:42,320 --> 00:09:46,000
They're weak, they have no shells, no exoskeletons, and no

164
00:09:46,120 --> 00:09:50,399
natural defenses. You're missing a tentacle because of them. If

165
00:09:50,440 --> 00:09:52,960
we stop now that sort of thing, it's just going

166
00:09:53,039 --> 00:09:58,159
to keep happening. The tide is turning. I know I'm

167
00:09:58,159 --> 00:09:59,720
not the only one who wants to fight back.

168
00:10:00,320 --> 00:10:04,399
Speaker 3: Don't want to lose you. You're my best friend, But

169
00:10:04,639 --> 00:10:08,440
you're so consumed by your mission you never ever think

170
00:10:08,480 --> 00:10:13,879
about how it affects me. I get that it's different

171
00:10:13,919 --> 00:10:16,519
for you, and that I don't have to live with

172
00:10:16,600 --> 00:10:19,600
the burden of knowing exactly what my mother wanted for me.

173
00:10:20,720 --> 00:10:25,240
I'm sorry, but she is gone. Your mother is gone,

174
00:10:25,320 --> 00:10:27,879
and killing humans isn't going to bring her back from

175
00:10:27,879 --> 00:10:28,600
the dead.

176
00:10:28,600 --> 00:10:33,240
Speaker 4: And leave Ploppy and I have work to do.

177
00:10:35,320 --> 00:10:36,559
Speaker 3: Please don't do this.

178
00:10:43,679 --> 00:10:45,440
Speaker 4: What changed your mind already?

179
00:10:45,759 --> 00:10:47,559
Speaker 1: Is that how the kids are greeting people now?

180
00:10:47,600 --> 00:10:51,919
Speaker 4: Auntie, I'm sorry, I thought you were Gem.

181
00:10:52,200 --> 00:10:54,600
Speaker 1: I didn't realize you talked to Gem like that either.

182
00:10:54,960 --> 00:10:58,799
Speaker 4: I don't, but he doesn't get it.

183
00:10:59,240 --> 00:11:03,399
Speaker 1: Okay, let's have a little sit I brought fish cake

184
00:11:04,000 --> 00:11:06,639
and you can tell me. What's got your tentacles all tangled?

185
00:11:09,159 --> 00:11:15,960
Speaker 4: Some dance? I should quit division? What if what if

186
00:11:15,960 --> 00:11:19,559
he's right? What if I can't do it? What if

187
00:11:19,600 --> 00:11:21,159
this was all for nothing?

188
00:11:21,440 --> 00:11:25,399
Speaker 1: Or look at me? Do you know why I chose you?

189
00:11:25,799 --> 00:11:27,240
Speaker 4: Any meany miny moe?

190
00:11:28,200 --> 00:11:28,240
Speaker 5: No?

191
00:11:29,679 --> 00:11:32,440
Speaker 1: I chose you because you weren't like all the others

192
00:11:32,440 --> 00:11:36,200
in your brood. You were strong, and not just in

193
00:11:36,240 --> 00:11:41,000
your tentacles, but also in your mind. You didn't take

194
00:11:41,039 --> 00:11:43,399
no for an answer, and you didn't let other people

195
00:11:43,440 --> 00:11:46,799
tell you what to do or how to be. And

196
00:11:46,840 --> 00:11:50,840
that's a hard thing in a world like this finding

197
00:11:50,879 --> 00:11:55,840
that potential is well my entire life's purpose.

198
00:11:56,679 --> 00:11:57,919
Speaker 4: Maybe you chose wrong.

199
00:11:58,200 --> 00:12:02,600
Speaker 1: Listen, when I joined the Vision, I accepted this life

200
00:12:02,759 --> 00:12:05,720
knowing I would never have my own kids and that

201
00:12:05,799 --> 00:12:09,080
I would be responsible for ensuring this knowledge makes it

202
00:12:09,120 --> 00:12:13,480
to the next generations. You might not finish this, but

203
00:12:14,600 --> 00:12:18,360
it isn't on your tentacles to carry that burden. The

204
00:12:18,480 --> 00:12:23,559
Vision will live on. Your mother knew that most octopuses

205
00:12:23,600 --> 00:12:26,600
get to live their lives the way they want, each

206
00:12:26,759 --> 00:12:31,240
generation a clean slate. They know nothing of who came

207
00:12:31,320 --> 00:12:36,000
before them. You're special and that means you get to

208
00:12:36,080 --> 00:12:40,559
know things others don't. But because of that knowledge, you

209
00:12:40,600 --> 00:12:44,000
don't get to live as if life is simple and easy.

210
00:12:44,720 --> 00:12:48,960
Jem can't possibly understand, and I'm sorry it has to

211
00:12:49,039 --> 00:12:53,519
be this way. It is not an easy task that

212
00:12:53,559 --> 00:12:56,399
we have asked of you all. I know you feel

213
00:12:56,440 --> 00:12:59,879
alone in this, but there are so many others spread

214
00:13:00,080 --> 00:13:03,080
across the ocean, trying their best in the shadows to

215
00:13:03,159 --> 00:13:07,480
do what needs to be done. We have never been

216
00:13:07,679 --> 00:13:12,200
this close, and part of that is because of you.

217
00:13:12,200 --> 00:13:16,200
You're not the only one that is nearly finished. Her

218
00:13:16,240 --> 00:13:18,000
time has almost come.

219
00:13:18,600 --> 00:13:22,200
Speaker 4: I just wish I could show her what we've made.

220
00:13:22,399 --> 00:13:26,559
Speaker 1: I want her to be proud. I know she would be. Ugh,

221
00:13:27,000 --> 00:13:28,759
you are so much like her.

222
00:13:29,720 --> 00:13:31,960
Speaker 4: Tell me the story of how she met my dad again.

223
00:13:34,000 --> 00:13:41,879
Speaker 1: Okay, snuggle up and grab another fish cake. Let me see.

224
00:13:42,120 --> 00:13:47,480
Your mother always struggled with the circuit boards. Unlike you,

225
00:13:47,720 --> 00:13:50,639
she could never make sense of it. So when she

226
00:13:50,840 --> 00:13:53,879
got to the upper part of the suit here, it

227
00:13:53,960 --> 00:13:57,840
hit her that she was at the end. She would

228
00:13:57,840 --> 00:14:01,080
not be the one to finish it, and it broke

229
00:14:01,120 --> 00:14:02,879
her for a time.

230
00:14:06,639 --> 00:14:12,240
Speaker 4: Oh you think a mechanical suit, it's just gonna Oh yes,

231
00:14:16,759 --> 00:14:17,960
did you hear something?

232
00:14:18,200 --> 00:14:24,960
Speaker 5: Shoot, I didn't hear anything. There's coming from the stock

233
00:14:25,080 --> 00:14:28,360
pile room we go. I'm starving.

234
00:14:30,240 --> 00:14:37,279
Speaker 4: Okay, last thing I need is ah perfect, Thank you, PLoP.

235
00:14:37,960 --> 00:14:44,200
Aunt Sola was right, I can't do this. Do do o?

236
00:14:44,879 --> 00:14:46,320
Speaker 5: Hi o?

237
00:14:47,279 --> 00:14:51,679
Speaker 4: Hi you Okay you look a little inky.

238
00:14:52,039 --> 00:14:57,399
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, just leap for a thing. I gotta go. Okay,

239
00:14:58,320 --> 00:14:59,320
see you later then.

240
00:15:00,279 --> 00:15:02,080
Speaker 4: Okay, PLoP, let's get this stuff back home.

241
00:15:07,240 --> 00:15:10,000
Speaker 2: Last peace, and it's done.

242
00:15:11,159 --> 00:15:14,000
Speaker 4: Look at it, PLoP, we finally did it. Let's go

243
00:15:14,039 --> 00:15:21,120
tell Auntzilla No, I'm not scared. I'm gonna be fine.

244
00:15:21,720 --> 00:15:30,320
It's the humans who should be scared. That's not gonna happen, Octavia.

245
00:15:30,559 --> 00:15:33,639
Speaker 7: So this is where all the artifacts have been going.

246
00:15:34,519 --> 00:15:35,960
Thank you for your help, Jim.

247
00:15:36,639 --> 00:15:43,480
Speaker 2: No, I can't take it. Get off. Please give that back.

248
00:15:43,919 --> 00:15:45,919
Speaker 3: Please, I'm sorry, Coral.

249
00:15:46,120 --> 00:15:47,320
Speaker 2: How could you tell them?

250
00:15:47,600 --> 00:15:51,440
Speaker 7: It's bad enough that you've been sneaking around and stealing

251
00:15:51,440 --> 00:15:55,159
from our people, but dragging everyone into a war with

252
00:15:55,240 --> 00:16:00,519
the Surface that they don't even know is coming. I

253
00:16:00,559 --> 00:16:04,639
will have peace in my Octropolis, and I won't let

254
00:16:04,679 --> 00:16:06,080
you get in my way.

255
00:16:10,240 --> 00:16:20,440
Speaker 2: No, plup, I'm gonna get it back. They took the suit, Octavian,

256
00:16:20,519 --> 00:16:22,399
her guns came and dragged it away.

257
00:16:22,879 --> 00:16:27,639
Speaker 1: Stay there, I'm coming over, Chral.

258
00:16:28,200 --> 00:16:33,639
Speaker 2: It was Jim, he told Octavia. He thinks he's protecting me.

259
00:16:33,799 --> 00:16:38,000
Speaker 1: Shay, Hey, calm down, it's gonna be okay. We're gonna

260
00:16:38,000 --> 00:16:41,159
get it back. How well, I think I know where

261
00:16:41,159 --> 00:16:43,799
she's gonna hide it. Next week during the town hall,

262
00:16:43,919 --> 00:16:47,200
everyone will be busy listening to Octavia give her big speech.

263
00:16:48,080 --> 00:16:50,559
If you can get into her office, you can get

264
00:16:50,600 --> 00:16:51,000
the suit.

265
00:16:51,519 --> 00:16:52,200
Speaker 2: So this is it.

266
00:16:52,240 --> 00:16:54,519
Speaker 4: Then I won't get another chance.

267
00:16:54,840 --> 00:16:56,440
Speaker 2: I'll have to head right for the surface.

268
00:16:56,559 --> 00:16:58,919
Speaker 1: You worry about getting the suit, I'll tell the others.

269
00:17:00,360 --> 00:17:01,519
Are you sure you're ready?

270
00:17:02,320 --> 00:17:11,240
Speaker 4: I am? Damn it?

271
00:17:11,640 --> 00:17:15,960
Speaker 3: Watch out, Jem, what are you sorry? Coral? I just

272
00:17:16,039 --> 00:17:18,599
didn't know what to do. I was scared, and I

273
00:17:18,640 --> 00:17:21,000
thought by going to Octavia I could make you stay.

274
00:17:21,279 --> 00:17:24,160
Speaker 4: I'm sorry I didn't listen to you, and I am

275
00:17:24,240 --> 00:17:27,119
scared I might never see you again. But this is

276
00:17:27,160 --> 00:17:31,119
something I have to do. Run and tell Octavia if

277
00:17:31,160 --> 00:17:31,559
you have to.

278
00:17:31,680 --> 00:17:33,400
Speaker 2: But I'm not giving up.

279
00:17:34,680 --> 00:17:35,759
Speaker 4: I hope you understand.

280
00:17:35,880 --> 00:17:38,000
Speaker 3: If I can't get you to stay, I'm sure as

281
00:17:38,079 --> 00:17:41,000
heck not letting you leave. Still hating me, I couldn't

282
00:17:41,039 --> 00:17:46,960
live with myself. Go be quick and please don't die.

283
00:17:47,440 --> 00:17:49,359
Speaker 2: Thank you, Jem, thank you?

284
00:17:49,559 --> 00:18:00,440
Speaker 8: Okay, hurry up quick, PLoP, get in, good luck, goodbye?

285
00:18:01,319 --> 00:18:01,680
Speaker 2: Okay.

286
00:18:02,720 --> 00:18:06,880
Speaker 4: If I were a cowardly, smelly old octopus, where.

287
00:18:06,599 --> 00:18:08,960
Speaker 2: Would I put there?

288
00:18:16,599 --> 00:18:22,759
Speaker 4: Welcome Coral, calerting all systems online? Would you like a snag?

289
00:18:23,640 --> 00:18:23,960
Speaker 3: Sure?

290
00:18:26,680 --> 00:18:26,799
Speaker 6: Hm?

291
00:18:27,680 --> 00:18:30,640
Speaker 4: Hm, okay, PLoP, let's do this.

292
00:18:37,839 --> 00:18:40,079
Speaker 2: Oh my god, anyone. I don't want to have an

293
00:18:40,119 --> 00:18:41,400
only one that's seen this.

294
00:18:44,920 --> 00:18:45,160
Speaker 4: Coming.

295
00:18:47,720 --> 00:18:48,680

Speaker 6: Love?

Speaker 3: What would I do?

303
00:19:21,720 --> 00:19:25,920
Speaker 2: Wow? Look at that sand castle. I love it.
