Speaker 1: Hi, hey, and hello internets. Thank you once again for
Speaker 1: coming to the Broken Hoods podcast. It is I Jordan
Speaker 1: DM for our erstwhile crew, and we're going to go
Speaker 1: right back at it. We last found ourselves with Midge,
Speaker 1: j Bird, Jabrinka in the shoddy Ramen shop just called
Speaker 1: the digital shop, with Fretz now Madaga and officer we'll
Speaker 1: call him Smith for right now, in a shocking display,
Speaker 1: taking a knee and asking Midge that him, as an
Speaker 1: emissary of the Klandethu Empire, requests her aid for his prints,
Speaker 1: and he just kind of drops that bombshell on both
Speaker 1: of you.
Speaker 2: And let's say.
Speaker 3: The silence is cannonading the silence. Cannon Midged looks at Fritz,
Speaker 3: mouth open, but not really saying anything because what do
Speaker 3: you say? And I just imagine Fritz having the same expression,
Speaker 3: mouth open, not knowing what to say.
Speaker 1: Yeah back, and Captain Blando finally gets the message and like,
Speaker 1: looks up us. Do you not this one should provide contact,
Speaker 1: shouldn't I it?
Speaker 3: Maybe? Yeah, maybe that would help. I don't mean to
Speaker 3: be rude. I am just I've never met somebody who's
Speaker 3: not from this rock before.
Speaker 1: Okay, So I don't have to convince you that I
Speaker 1: am not.
Speaker 3: From here looking him up and down. No, no, I
Speaker 3: think I mean we I No, no, you don't.
Speaker 1: Okay, there are many years of conflict, centuries even that
Speaker 1: I can go into, but our time is short, so
Speaker 1: this one will give.
Speaker 2: The spark notes I believe is what you put it.
Speaker 1: Regardless, as I said, I'm an emissary for the Glendeva Empire,
Speaker 1: you would not be able to pronounce my name, so.
Speaker 2: I will not even go there.
Speaker 1: In a act of unmitigated terrorism, our prints on an
Speaker 1: intergalactic journey of peace got attacked by the Colpec Empire.
Speaker 1: They from what I didn't tell, from what you'ves you gathered,
Speaker 1: they are the ones aiding these corn people.
Speaker 3: Oh oh oh.
Speaker 1: Regardless, through many many days of tracking, we were able
Speaker 1: to find our prince's route to this planet, and.
Speaker 2: We believe he is here.
Speaker 1: We believe he is at Exotic Transports. And I wanted
Speaker 1: to proposition to you, as you and your associates seem
Speaker 1: to be there already.
Speaker 3: You're not wrong. Wait, I check my watch. How soon
Speaker 3: am I supposed to pick up these kids up?
Speaker 2: You're on time, as far as you know. You can
Speaker 2: get there.
Speaker 1: You think there's like maybe half an hour left from
Speaker 1: the proposed ETA and you can get there.
Speaker 3: In fifteen Yeah, assuming that the roads are more or
Speaker 3: less what I would expect. I know it's a little
Speaker 3: hit buzzy out there. You know, it's only like riots
Speaker 3: and crazy explosions and stuff. Nothing I can't get around. Okay,
Speaker 3: all right, so can I call you a miss because
Speaker 3: you're an amissary?
Speaker 2: He looks up. A flicker of emotion goes across his face.
Speaker 3: This is acceptable, right, thanks, good a miss.
Speaker 1: What do we do normally this would be a situation
Speaker 1: for heavier firepower, let's say, but this planet is seen
Speaker 1: as a backwater. There's no space travel really for people
Speaker 1: to be interested and well, he looks around.
Speaker 2: The planet's not doing all that great.
Speaker 1: I understand not only humans are like this, but it's
Speaker 1: hard to get people out here.
Speaker 3: Hearing that Earth is backwater is the least surprising thing
Speaker 3: I've ever heard.
Speaker 2: In my life.
Speaker 4: I mean, galaxy wise. Yeah, basically like the tip of
Speaker 4: one of the fucking spirals. Yeah, this is the middle
Speaker 4: of pump fuck nowhere.
Speaker 1: I know that we were also an inconvenient space of
Speaker 1: just like looking at what the Milky Way looks like
Speaker 1: and where Earth is.
Speaker 3: We're the last gas station for the next five hundred
Speaker 3: light years.
Speaker 2: Something like that, something like that, even the next galaxy.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I love it.
Speaker 1: Regardless, you have men on the grounds that are not
Speaker 1: affiliated with Big Corn or any of these big players
Speaker 1: around the city.
Speaker 2: Am I correcting that?
Speaker 3: That's that's correct? We are contracted by a private party.
Speaker 2: That means that you are for hire, then yeah.
Speaker 3: But I mean these are different circumstances. If something needs
Speaker 3: to be done, we're gonna do it. I mean, just
Speaker 3: as much as you want your your prints back, I
Speaker 3: want my colleagues back.
Speaker 2: So I mean, let this one put it this way.
Speaker 1: I might be dragging you into an intergalactic war, and
Speaker 1: this one's conscience wouldn't really allow it unless I let
Speaker 1: you know what the stakes are and let you be
Speaker 1: contemptisated sufficiently.
Speaker 2: Hacking into a bank to get.
Speaker 1: You money is a paltry thing for one such as I,
Speaker 1: so you don't have to worry about that, Okay, But
Speaker 1: if we're in this, I want you to be in
Speaker 1: this for real. And my time amongst these people knows
Speaker 1: that money can smooth these things over.
Speaker 3: I look at Fritz who's probably still not sure what
Speaker 3: to say. I mean, I'm not gonna say no to compensation,
Speaker 3: of course, that would actually clear my mind quite a bit.
Speaker 2: But it's time for you to roll some dice for me.
Speaker 1: Then, okay, because I have a surprise, get the job
Speaker 1: roll for you.
Speaker 3: Surprise, you're actually playing.
