1
00:00:04,919 --> 00:00:08,279
Speaker 1: Hello, friends from across the nation and around the world.

2
00:00:08,599 --> 00:00:12,560
I I'm Martin, and you are listening to Dad's Bedtime Stories,

3
00:00:13,160 --> 00:00:17,120
the podcast that takes listener ideas and turns them into

4
00:00:17,160 --> 00:00:21,800
bedtime stories. Tonight, we'll be headed back into the Spaceship

5
00:00:21,960 --> 00:00:25,839
universe based on our suggestion for today. And if you've

6
00:00:25,879 --> 00:00:29,079
never listened before, all you really need to know is

7
00:00:29,160 --> 00:00:32,640
that you are the main character, and you have a

8
00:00:32,640 --> 00:00:35,560
magical spaceship that can take you pretty much anywhere and

9
00:00:36,280 --> 00:00:41,560
do pretty much anything. The possibilities are endless. Let's check

10
00:00:41,600 --> 00:00:42,359
out the suggestion.

11
00:00:43,920 --> 00:00:46,200
Speaker 2: Hi, my name is Kiara, and I would like a

12
00:00:46,240 --> 00:00:53,759
story about an animal creating planet where you choose any

13
00:00:53,920 --> 00:01:01,640
animal and anything such as food, other animals, or even

14
00:01:01,799 --> 00:01:10,159
just things around you like laptops or controllers, and it come.

15
00:01:10,640 --> 00:01:14,359
Once you've chosen those two things, it combines them and

16
00:01:14,439 --> 00:01:16,599
creates a whole new animal.

17
00:01:17,000 --> 00:01:17,319
Speaker 3: Thanks.

18
00:01:17,359 --> 00:01:21,159
Speaker 1: I love your podcasts, and thank you for the suggestion.

19
00:01:21,920 --> 00:01:23,640
It took me a little while to get my head

20
00:01:23,680 --> 00:01:28,280
around how this might be created, but eventually I decided

21
00:01:28,319 --> 00:01:30,599
that this might be the kind of thing that other

22
00:01:30,719 --> 00:01:33,879
people would want to make suggestions for. So if you

23
00:01:34,079 --> 00:01:38,200
have a suggestion for the animal creation Planet, different animals

24
00:01:38,200 --> 00:01:41,799
to combine or race or you know, fly around with

25
00:01:42,000 --> 00:01:46,159
or whatever. You can write to me at dad Bedtime

26
00:01:46,280 --> 00:01:50,040
Stories at gmail dot com, or you can leave me

27
00:01:50,079 --> 00:01:54,040
a voice message on speak pipe. The link is in

28
00:01:54,079 --> 00:01:58,400
the description, or you can fill out the Google form.

29
00:01:58,920 --> 00:02:00,359
Speaker 3: Before we get started, I just.

30
00:02:00,280 --> 00:02:01,760
Speaker 1: Want to give a big shout out to some of

31
00:02:01,760 --> 00:02:05,959
my newest Patreon sponsors. As many of you know, this

32
00:02:06,120 --> 00:02:10,879
podcast is funded in two ways. One through ads, which

33
00:02:11,120 --> 00:02:13,800
aren't my favorite, but they do provide income for the

34
00:02:13,840 --> 00:02:18,840
podcast and keep it going. And two from Patreon, where

35
00:02:19,080 --> 00:02:24,159
patrons get ad free episodes and any bonus content I

36
00:02:24,199 --> 00:02:29,000
put as soon as I record it. Thank you to

37
00:02:29,599 --> 00:02:35,639
Chloe Body and Riven for sponsoring the podcast. I really

38
00:02:35,719 --> 00:02:40,479
appreciate that, guys, and I really appreciate all of my

39
00:02:40,560 --> 00:02:44,719
other sponsors and all of my listeners. For those of

40
00:02:44,759 --> 00:02:49,199
you not on Patreon, thank you for helping fund the

41
00:02:49,280 --> 00:02:54,479
podcast by dealing with the ads, which will go right here.

42
00:02:54,639 --> 00:02:59,680
If you're not on Patreon, close your eyes, get as

43
00:02:59,719 --> 00:03:03,240
come as you can in that bed, and imagine yourself

44
00:03:03,360 --> 00:03:08,520
doing what the kid in the story does because you

45
00:03:09,520 --> 00:03:11,039
are the main character here.

46
00:03:12,400 --> 00:03:14,000
Speaker 3: You wake up on your.

47
00:03:13,840 --> 00:03:18,560
Speaker 1: Spaceship and you get a out of bed, stretch your

48
00:03:18,719 --> 00:03:24,719
arms and legs, and say good morning to spaceship. Good morning, spaceship,

49
00:03:25,479 --> 00:03:31,639
Good morning, spaceship replies you walk out into the main area.

50
00:03:31,319 --> 00:03:32,080
Speaker 3: Of the ship.

51
00:03:32,879 --> 00:03:37,120
Speaker 1: So have we come across any cool planets to check

52
00:03:37,159 --> 00:03:41,240
out or anything like that? You ask, as you usually

53
00:03:41,280 --> 00:03:46,960
do in the morning. Yes, I have found many interesting planets.

54
00:03:47,639 --> 00:03:51,439
The one I suggest we check out first, I have

55
00:03:51,599 --> 00:03:58,840
titled the animal creation Planet. Animal creation Planet. Oh what

56
00:03:58,879 --> 00:04:03,039
do you mean by that? Well, it seems to be

57
00:04:03,439 --> 00:04:07,759
a new and interesting pastime on this planet to create

58
00:04:08,240 --> 00:04:16,480
new and interesting animals. Ah, okay, that seems cool, I guess.

59
00:04:17,160 --> 00:04:17,319
Speaker 2: Uh.

60
00:04:17,639 --> 00:04:22,199
Speaker 1: Set a course. Spaceship sets a course for the planet.

61
00:04:23,160 --> 00:04:27,199
The ship turns slightly to the left and downward a

62
00:04:27,199 --> 00:04:32,399
bit and blasts off at super hyper drive, taking you

63
00:04:32,600 --> 00:04:37,839
through a sort of wormhole until it eventually stops in

64
00:04:38,000 --> 00:04:43,879
front of a beautiful, blue, green, and white planet, one

65
00:04:43,920 --> 00:04:48,240
that honestly looks a lot like Earth, only there's a

66
00:04:48,319 --> 00:04:53,439
whole bunch of satellites around this one. You sit down

67
00:04:53,560 --> 00:04:57,920
in the main control chair. Why are all these satellites here?

68
00:04:58,319 --> 00:05:04,519
You ask this. This planet seems to be very technologically advanced,

69
00:05:05,639 --> 00:05:09,560
don't worry. I have mapped the satellites and will avoid

70
00:05:09,639 --> 00:05:15,959
them easily. Spaceship makes a couple turns and drops below

71
00:05:16,199 --> 00:05:22,560
the field of satellites, through the atmosphere, through the clouds,

72
00:05:23,279 --> 00:05:29,040
until you find yourself floating above the planet, where you

73
00:05:29,199 --> 00:05:35,120
see a herd of deer with glowing crystal antlers racing

74
00:05:35,199 --> 00:05:43,079
across the sky. What are those, you say, I believe

75
00:05:43,399 --> 00:05:50,680
those may be some created animals or genetically enhanced animals.

76
00:05:51,399 --> 00:05:56,639
My space probes were not particularly specific on the details.

77
00:05:57,839 --> 00:06:02,879
You continue to fly over the planet. You see birds

78
00:06:02,959 --> 00:06:07,279
with dolphin tails leaping in and out of the water.

79
00:06:08,560 --> 00:06:13,560
You pass a group of people riding giant rabbit horses

80
00:06:13,639 --> 00:06:19,600
across the plains, and besides you, you see someone riding

81
00:06:19,680 --> 00:06:26,040
what looks like a cloud eagle, an eagle that's also

82
00:06:26,360 --> 00:06:31,279
shaped like a cloud. My probes indicate that the epicenter

83
00:06:31,439 --> 00:06:37,199
of activity is just ahead, and sure enough, you soon

84
00:06:37,480 --> 00:06:43,279
see a lot of activity, the whole bunch of high

85
00:06:43,319 --> 00:06:48,959
tech machines and a large circle surrounded by all kinds

86
00:06:49,040 --> 00:06:56,519
of different animals well participating in different activities. There's one

87
00:06:56,600 --> 00:07:01,079
area that looks like a battle arena, where strange and

88
00:07:01,160 --> 00:07:03,279
unusual animals.

89
00:07:02,720 --> 00:07:04,160
Speaker 3: Are fighting each other.

90
00:07:04,959 --> 00:07:11,279
Speaker 1: Some kind of alligator bear is fighting off against a well,

91
00:07:11,480 --> 00:07:16,920
a fox with nature powers or something like that. On

92
00:07:16,959 --> 00:07:20,160
the other side is what looks like a high tech

93
00:07:20,439 --> 00:07:25,519
race track where a whole bunch of super fast animals

94
00:07:25,519 --> 00:07:31,079
are racing. And there's another arena where there seem to

95
00:07:31,120 --> 00:07:35,639
be people putting on some sort of animal show, like

96
00:07:35,680 --> 00:07:42,079
a beauty pageant for genetically engineered animals. Above you, there's

97
00:07:42,600 --> 00:07:47,399
all sorts of animals flying through the sky. All kinds

98
00:07:47,439 --> 00:07:51,279
of them have wings or well, flames shooting out of

99
00:07:51,319 --> 00:08:02,759
their bottoms. Flying rabbits, flying turtles, flying horses, flying turtle bears. Honestly,

100
00:08:03,040 --> 00:08:06,399
the creatures look so different and so strange that you

101
00:08:06,439 --> 00:08:10,800
can't really identify them. And well, only some of them

102
00:08:10,800 --> 00:08:15,199
are human looking animals from Earth, I mean, others are

103
00:08:15,240 --> 00:08:21,800
completely alien and too strange to describe. Spaceship lands on

104
00:08:21,879 --> 00:08:26,720
a little landing area just beside the circle of machines.

105
00:08:27,959 --> 00:08:32,519
My probes indicate that the circle of machines is where

106
00:08:32,519 --> 00:08:39,159
we should start investigating. The back hatch opens up, fresh

107
00:08:39,240 --> 00:08:43,519
air spills in, and you walk out onto the planet

108
00:08:44,200 --> 00:08:49,919
and over towards the circle of machines. As you approach

109
00:08:50,559 --> 00:08:57,799
a strange, tall and sleek robot approaches you. Welcome visitor,

110
00:08:58,440 --> 00:09:03,919
says the robot. Do you require assistance with animal creation

111
00:09:04,320 --> 00:09:10,279
or combination? Perhaps you need an animal or object supplied

112
00:09:10,360 --> 00:09:15,840
from our replicators. We can provide almost anything you need,

113
00:09:16,360 --> 00:09:20,759
as long as it is legal, safe, and not deemed

114
00:09:20,960 --> 00:09:27,080
too annoying. H we're not really from this planet. You

115
00:09:27,159 --> 00:09:33,360
explain what exactly is going on here? The robot suddenly

116
00:09:33,399 --> 00:09:41,440
looks excited. Ah, first time guests, That is wonderful. This

117
00:09:41,960 --> 00:09:47,480
is the animal creation planet. For many years, our robots

118
00:09:47,519 --> 00:09:55,559
and automated systems have handled most jobs food, building, cleaning, repairs,

119
00:09:55,600 --> 00:10:02,799
sorting socks, folding towels, remembering birthdays, knowing all important information.

120
00:10:04,080 --> 00:10:09,440
Uh okay, well that sounds pretty cool. It was, says

121
00:10:09,480 --> 00:10:14,320
the robot. But then people had a new problem. They

122
00:10:14,399 --> 00:10:18,519
had too much free time and too little to do.

123
00:10:19,879 --> 00:10:20,480
Speaker 3: You nod.

124
00:10:21,399 --> 00:10:29,200
Speaker 1: I see. So the people here invented hobbies, many hobbies, painting,

125
00:10:29,840 --> 00:10:36,240
racing boats, competitive, stacking of different objects, But most popular

126
00:10:36,559 --> 00:10:42,279
was the hobby of animal creation. The robot points towards

127
00:10:42,320 --> 00:10:45,840
the center, where there's a whole bunch of huge machines.

128
00:10:46,559 --> 00:10:51,360
Each machine has two side chambers and one larger chamber

129
00:10:51,440 --> 00:10:55,279
in the middle. Some have animals on one side and

130
00:10:55,360 --> 00:10:59,720
objects on the other. Some have two animals. Some have

131
00:11:00,120 --> 00:11:10,039
glowing containers marked with an element fire, ice, wind, water, nature, dirt, lightning, shadow,

132
00:11:10,840 --> 00:11:15,960
that sort of thing. The machines can combine animals with

133
00:11:16,120 --> 00:11:24,120
other animals, objects, elements, or special materials. The computer studies

134
00:11:24,279 --> 00:11:29,279
both things and creates the best possible living combination. Some

135
00:11:29,559 --> 00:11:36,039
people make pets, some make racers, some make show animals.

136
00:11:36,519 --> 00:11:42,720
Some create animals for battle, others create animals for transportation.

137
00:11:43,960 --> 00:11:45,080
Speaker 3: You glance at a.

138
00:11:45,080 --> 00:11:50,399
Speaker 1: Nearby arena where a lizard made partly of lava is

139
00:11:50,559 --> 00:11:54,919
being given a drink from some sort of bottle of fire.

140
00:11:56,240 --> 00:11:58,000
Does it hurt them?

141
00:11:58,519 --> 00:11:59,080
Speaker 3: You ask?

142
00:12:00,080 --> 00:12:05,960
Speaker 1: The robot shakes its head. No, The process is completely painless.

143
00:12:06,519 --> 00:12:12,039
Most animals enjoy their new forms, their minds stay comfortable,

144
00:12:12,440 --> 00:12:17,039
and the computer only allows combinations that will be healthy.

145
00:12:17,960 --> 00:12:22,080
If a creature dislikes its new form, we return it

146
00:12:22,200 --> 00:12:27,480
to normal. Would you like to try, asks the robot.

147
00:12:28,240 --> 00:12:34,519
There are races, beauty shows, flying contests, swimming contests, and

148
00:12:35,039 --> 00:12:39,679
battled tournaments throughout the day that you could participate in.

149
00:12:40,840 --> 00:12:44,159
You look across the plaza where some sort of very

150
00:12:44,200 --> 00:12:47,159
fast looking animal that seems to be made of lightning

151
00:12:47,639 --> 00:12:51,559
blasts across a track so fast that you can't even

152
00:12:51,639 --> 00:12:56,879
see it. Well, the land race looks cool, you say,

153
00:12:57,919 --> 00:13:05,000
any chance you have a cheetah interesting not currently in storage. However,

154
00:13:05,240 --> 00:13:09,799
if you can provide a DNA sample, we can safely

155
00:13:09,919 --> 00:13:17,440
replicate one. Spaceship's voice comes clearly through your watch. I

156
00:13:17,600 --> 00:13:25,000
have extensive biological archives, he says, cheetah. DNA sample transferring.

157
00:13:25,399 --> 00:13:32,519
Now excellent, says the other robot. A nearby replicator hums

158
00:13:32,559 --> 00:13:37,840
to life. Light gathers inside it, spinning faster and faster,

159
00:13:38,600 --> 00:13:43,519
and a moment later, a fully grown cheetah steps out.

160
00:13:44,440 --> 00:13:51,360
It's absolutely beautiful, sleek, golden, covered in spots, extremely cheatah

161
00:13:51,559 --> 00:13:56,840
like the robot scans it very good. I believe this

162
00:13:57,000 --> 00:14:03,320
animal is comfortable, healthy, calm, and ready for optional combination.

163
00:14:04,600 --> 00:14:08,639
Now what would you like to combine with it? You

164
00:14:08,759 --> 00:14:11,320
think about all of the fun things you could put

165
00:14:11,360 --> 00:14:17,440
on a cheetah to make it faster, rockets, roller skates, lightning,

166
00:14:18,200 --> 00:14:20,919
maybe a genant spring, so who could like bounce around

167
00:14:20,960 --> 00:14:26,639
and stuff like that, And then it hits you. Do

168
00:14:26,759 --> 00:14:32,080
you have a Formula one race car? You ask hmm,

169
00:14:32,840 --> 00:14:37,960
not at the moment, Please provide the schematics for Formula

170
00:14:38,080 --> 00:14:45,799
one race car transferring schematics. Now, spaceship says ah, I

171
00:14:45,960 --> 00:14:52,120
see printing. Now the replicator hums to life again, and

172
00:14:52,240 --> 00:14:56,600
this time the energy combines into a yeah, well, a

173
00:14:56,720 --> 00:15:02,799
full sized Formula one race car. Let us prepare for combination.

174
00:15:04,120 --> 00:15:08,399
A single robot walks over and puts a leash around

175
00:15:08,440 --> 00:15:12,519
the cheetah, leading it over into the chamber. On the left,

176
00:15:13,360 --> 00:15:16,960
a team of small flying robots pick up the Formula

177
00:15:17,039 --> 00:15:21,480
one car and fly it into the chamber. On the right,

178
00:15:22,840 --> 00:15:27,480
the machine powers up. Would you like to press the

179
00:15:27,840 --> 00:15:34,320
combined button? The robot asks, of course, I would you say?

180
00:15:35,159 --> 00:15:40,480
You step forward, press the big button, and everything starts

181
00:15:40,519 --> 00:15:45,120
to glow. The cheetah glows in one chamber, the race

182
00:15:45,240 --> 00:15:49,759
card glows in the other chamber. Then both shapes start

183
00:15:49,840 --> 00:15:54,440
to dissolve into pure energy, swirling around in front of you.

184
00:15:55,399 --> 00:16:00,879
The energy streams into the center chamber, twists together, and

185
00:16:01,639 --> 00:16:08,000
well begins to combine. When the light fades, the creature

186
00:16:08,080 --> 00:16:11,320
in the middle of the chamber looks like a cheetah

187
00:16:11,320 --> 00:16:15,799
from the future. Its body is still, you know, spotted

188
00:16:15,840 --> 00:16:20,200
and cheetah like, but it has thin racing stripes along

189
00:16:20,240 --> 00:16:25,840
its side. Its legs look powerful and partially metallic, with

190
00:16:26,080 --> 00:16:30,720
smooth metal joints that gleam in the sun. Its eyes

191
00:16:30,879 --> 00:16:36,919
shine like headlights. The door opens up and the Cheetah

192
00:16:37,039 --> 00:16:41,200
race car steps out. For a second, it walks like

193
00:16:41,240 --> 00:16:46,759
a normal cheetah. Then its legs fold and shift wheels

194
00:16:46,799 --> 00:16:51,720
slide out from its paws, Its body lowers slightly, and

195
00:16:51,799 --> 00:16:55,919
its tail sort of transforms into a tiny little spoiler

196
00:16:55,960 --> 00:16:56,679
on its back.

197
00:16:57,960 --> 00:16:59,879
Speaker 3: Whoa, you say.

198
00:17:01,039 --> 00:17:06,079
Speaker 1: The cheetah car purrs, which you honestly can't tell if

199
00:17:06,119 --> 00:17:10,440
it's an engine or the cheetah purring, but it sounds

200
00:17:10,559 --> 00:17:16,759
pretty cool successful combination. Would you like to register in

201
00:17:16,880 --> 00:17:22,680
a land race? I guess so. I mean, I don't

202
00:17:22,720 --> 00:17:27,079
see why not. You climb on top of the Cheetah

203
00:17:27,559 --> 00:17:32,240
and put your hands on a set of handlebars that

204
00:17:32,279 --> 00:17:36,759
are there for some reason. You drive the Cheetah over

205
00:17:36,839 --> 00:17:42,319
to the racetrack area, and some other robots wave you in.

206
00:17:43,119 --> 00:17:46,839
You find yourself lined up beside a whole bunch of

207
00:17:46,880 --> 00:17:51,559
other racers. One is sitting on a horse that looks

208
00:17:51,599 --> 00:17:55,519
like it's mixed with a motorcycle. Another looks like a

209
00:17:55,680 --> 00:17:59,720
kangaroo mixed with a pogo stick, which you can't help

210
00:17:59,759 --> 00:18:04,440
it is probably only a small improvement from an actual kangaroo.

211
00:18:04,599 --> 00:18:07,839
There's a kid on a rhino with roller blades and

212
00:18:07,880 --> 00:18:12,000
a rockets strapped to its back, and a squirrel that

213
00:18:12,200 --> 00:18:15,119
looks like it's mixed with a monster truck or something

214
00:18:15,200 --> 00:18:24,839
like that. A floating drone announcer buzzes overhead, rain stars Ready, three, two,

215
00:18:25,920 --> 00:18:32,079
one go, The race explodes forward. You give the cheeta

216
00:18:32,200 --> 00:18:36,839
a little kick. There are no petals anywhere, and it

217
00:18:37,039 --> 00:18:43,200
blasts forward. It starts running on its legs, sprinting with

218
00:18:43,319 --> 00:18:48,079
incredible power. You feel each stride like a drum beat

219
00:18:48,279 --> 00:18:52,440
wind rushing against your face. You're amazed at how quickly

220
00:18:52,480 --> 00:18:57,720
its legs can move on their own. Then it transforms.

221
00:18:58,240 --> 00:19:03,759
Its legs transform into wheels. It ducts down towards the ground.

222
00:19:04,160 --> 00:19:09,759
Its tail becomes a spoiler, and it blasts even faster

223
00:19:10,240 --> 00:19:16,319
down the little track. The track curves sharply. The motorcycle

224
00:19:16,400 --> 00:19:19,839
horse slows to turn, but your cheat, a race car,

225
00:19:20,079 --> 00:19:24,039
just digs its wheels in and makes the curve perfectly

226
00:19:24,759 --> 00:19:26,400
without even slowing down.

227
00:19:27,400 --> 00:19:29,759
Speaker 3: The pogo kangaroo.

228
00:19:29,799 --> 00:19:32,039
Speaker 1: Well, it doesn't even have a chance of keeping up.

229
00:19:32,079 --> 00:19:36,039
It's still it's way behind you. You're honestly not sure

230
00:19:36,079 --> 00:19:39,079
why somebody thought that that would be a particularly fast vehicle,

231
00:19:39,200 --> 00:19:44,559
but it clearly is not. In fact, you easily pull

232
00:19:44,640 --> 00:19:48,000
ahead of all of the other vehicles. The only thing

233
00:19:48,039 --> 00:19:49,960
that seems to be able to keep up with you

234
00:19:50,160 --> 00:19:55,000
is the Rocket Rhino on roller skates. You and the

235
00:19:55,119 --> 00:19:58,720
Rocket Rhino face each other head to head as you

236
00:19:58,920 --> 00:20:02,359
turn to the left, turn to the right, and head

237
00:20:02,440 --> 00:20:07,039
into the straightaway. The blaster on the back of the

238
00:20:07,119 --> 00:20:11,279
Rhino lights up and he blasts forward in front of you.

239
00:20:11,960 --> 00:20:16,240
Come on, Cheetah, we can't let that happen. The Cheetah

240
00:20:16,359 --> 00:20:22,920
nods and understanding focuses, and its tires spin even faster.

241
00:20:23,920 --> 00:20:28,680
You slowly gain ground on the Rocket Rhino as you

242
00:20:28,799 --> 00:20:34,119
approach the finish line, and you pull slightly ahead, just

243
00:20:34,279 --> 00:20:40,799
in time to be announced the winner a crowd of robots,

244
00:20:41,079 --> 00:20:46,039
strange looking racing animals, and well humans who have created them.

245
00:20:46,440 --> 00:20:50,279
I'll clap for you. At the finish line, the Cheetah's

246
00:20:50,480 --> 00:20:55,440
legs reform from the wheels and you trot back over

247
00:20:55,599 --> 00:21:01,680
to the combination machine. That was pretty cool. What's next?

248
00:21:02,119 --> 00:21:07,519
You ask, perhaps you would like to combine something else.

249
00:21:08,240 --> 00:21:14,759
The robot says, yeah, well, honestly, I'm feeling kind of hungry,

250
00:21:14,880 --> 00:21:19,319
so maybe we should have lunch first. Well, we may

251
00:21:19,400 --> 00:21:23,400
be able to help with that as well. We have

252
00:21:23,720 --> 00:21:30,039
many animal combinations that can create food. You have animals

253
00:21:30,079 --> 00:21:35,960
that can create food, you ask, Of course, combining animals

254
00:21:36,000 --> 00:21:40,599
with food related products is a favorite pastime of people

255
00:21:40,720 --> 00:21:47,160
on this planet. Okay, well, then I guess the question

256
00:21:47,440 --> 00:21:52,079
is what kind of food do I want? And what

257
00:21:52,200 --> 00:21:54,960
kind of animal do I want to give it to me?

258
00:21:56,039 --> 00:21:59,440
You think for a second and you realize that the

259
00:21:59,519 --> 00:22:05,960
answer is absolutely clear. You want ice cream. Then you

260
00:22:06,160 --> 00:22:09,319
start to think of what would go well with ice cream?

261
00:22:09,359 --> 00:22:12,359
What kind of animal would you want to give you

262
00:22:12,480 --> 00:22:16,359
ice cream? What kind of animal would you know naturally

263
00:22:16,720 --> 00:22:22,200
enjoy ice cream? And the answer is obvious, a polar bear.

264
00:22:24,359 --> 00:22:27,759
I'd like to combine an ice cream machine with a

265
00:22:27,799 --> 00:22:33,279
polar bear spaceship. Transfer the DNA samples, and you know,

266
00:22:33,359 --> 00:22:37,920
some schematics for a soft served ice cream machine with

267
00:22:38,319 --> 00:22:46,359
all sorts of different flavors understood. Transferring DNA and schematics.

268
00:22:46,400 --> 00:22:55,279
Now schematics received replicating polar bear. The replicator lights up

269
00:22:55,720 --> 00:23:01,559
and a polar bear swirls to life again. A little

270
00:23:01,599 --> 00:23:05,599
helper robot walks over, places a collar with a leash

271
00:23:05,640 --> 00:23:10,039
around its neck, and well kind of gestures for the

272
00:23:10,079 --> 00:23:15,279
polar bear to follow, which, strangely it does. Polar bears

273
00:23:15,319 --> 00:23:20,519
aren't particularly tame animals. In fact, they're wildly dangerous animals,

274
00:23:20,880 --> 00:23:26,720
so you're surprised with how easily it follows orders. Next,

275
00:23:27,279 --> 00:23:30,960
the ice cream machine comes to life in the replicator.

276
00:23:31,680 --> 00:23:35,319
A team of little robots picks it up and puts

277
00:23:35,359 --> 00:23:39,559
it in the chamber on the other side. You step

278
00:23:39,680 --> 00:23:44,960
up to the giant combined button, press it, and once again,

279
00:23:45,200 --> 00:23:50,039
both sides of the chamber light up with energy. They

280
00:23:50,240 --> 00:23:56,920
swirl together into the larger chamber and well. A moment later,

281
00:23:57,759 --> 00:24:02,559
a new creature is standing there. It still looks mostly

282
00:24:02,599 --> 00:24:07,559
like a polar bear, soft, huge, and strangely friendly looking

283
00:24:07,599 --> 00:24:12,160
for such a deadly creature, but now it has bell

284
00:24:12,240 --> 00:24:17,039
a soft serve ice cream dispenser built into its belly

285
00:24:17,279 --> 00:24:21,240
like a serving station. On one side of its stomach

286
00:24:21,400 --> 00:24:23,920
is a cone holder, and in the other are a

287
00:24:24,000 --> 00:24:27,960
whole bunch of different flavor buttons with a little nozzle

288
00:24:28,000 --> 00:24:32,720
in the middle. The bear looks down at itself, then

289
00:24:33,119 --> 00:24:37,920
it looks at you. It picks up a cone, places

290
00:24:37,960 --> 00:24:41,920
it in the center of its belly, and presses go

291
00:24:43,039 --> 00:24:48,359
soft serve ice cream starts to spill out. It turns

292
00:24:48,400 --> 00:24:52,079
the cone around in a little circle, creating the perfect

293
00:24:52,200 --> 00:24:57,279
layer of soft serve ice cream, and then it sits

294
00:24:57,319 --> 00:24:59,640
down on the ground and begins to eat.

295
00:25:02,319 --> 00:25:04,480
Speaker 3: Can I have one? You ask?

296
00:25:05,640 --> 00:25:09,599
Speaker 1: The polar bear, looking rather unimpressed, eats the rest of

297
00:25:09,640 --> 00:25:13,480
its ice cream cone in one gulp. It walks out

298
00:25:13,480 --> 00:25:16,960
of the chamber over it towards you and sits down

299
00:25:17,000 --> 00:25:21,400
on its bum. It grabs a little cone, presses the

300
00:25:21,440 --> 00:25:26,759
button on the dispenser, and creates a multi flavor cone

301
00:25:26,799 --> 00:25:30,720
for you in a perfect little swirl. It hands it

302
00:25:30,759 --> 00:25:36,240
to you. You take a hold, and you take a bite.

303
00:25:36,480 --> 00:25:44,079
It's cold, sweet, ice creamy and delicious. This is actually

304
00:25:44,400 --> 00:25:48,440
really good. Honestly, I thought this idea would turn out horribly,

305
00:25:48,519 --> 00:25:51,480
but wow, can we keep.

306
00:25:51,279 --> 00:25:55,880
Speaker 3: This ice cream bear? You ask? I will think about it,

307
00:25:56,160 --> 00:25:57,240
Spaceship says.

308
00:25:58,279 --> 00:25:58,359
Speaker 2: You.

309
00:25:58,480 --> 00:26:02,559
Speaker 1: Take a moment two finish the ice cream, all the

310
00:26:02,720 --> 00:26:07,240
while thinking about what you want to make next. I

311
00:26:07,279 --> 00:26:09,440
think I want to make something I can ride in

312
00:26:09,480 --> 00:26:15,079
the air. You say, good idea. A flying mount is

313
00:26:15,160 --> 00:26:19,559
a popular thing to combine. What would you like to

314
00:26:19,640 --> 00:26:25,359
make for the animal combination? You think about it, You

315
00:26:25,559 --> 00:26:31,759
think about mythical creatures, and you eventually land on the answer.

316
00:26:32,680 --> 00:26:38,559
A lion and a hawk transferring DNA samples.

317
00:26:38,839 --> 00:26:39,240
Speaker 3: Now.

318
00:26:40,960 --> 00:26:47,759
Speaker 1: Immediately, the replicator lights up with two glowing objects. A

319
00:26:47,880 --> 00:26:53,599
lion appears on one side and a hawk on the other. Again,

320
00:26:54,240 --> 00:26:58,440
the helper robots move over, put little leashes around the

321
00:26:58,519 --> 00:27:03,519
creatures and guide them into different parts of the chamber.

322
00:27:05,519 --> 00:27:10,200
You press the combined button and the two light up

323
00:27:10,279 --> 00:27:15,759
and transform into energy once again. The energy shoots together

324
00:27:15,880 --> 00:27:21,799
in the central chamber and forms itself into exactly what

325
00:27:22,079 --> 00:27:29,319
you imagined, essentially a giant griffin with huge hawk wings.

326
00:27:30,720 --> 00:27:34,319
The griffin steps out of the chamber and lowers its head.

327
00:27:35,680 --> 00:27:41,119
You slowly move closer and pet it on the side. Uh,

328
00:27:41,559 --> 00:27:44,759
any chance I can go for a ride? You ask?

329
00:27:45,839 --> 00:27:50,640
The griffin agrees. It bends down, allowing you to climb

330
00:27:50,680 --> 00:27:55,839
on its back. Then it begins to run. You hold

331
00:27:55,960 --> 00:28:00,480
on to its furry feathers around its neck and seem

332
00:28:00,559 --> 00:28:04,839
to mind. It jumps into the air, spreads its wings,

333
00:28:05,160 --> 00:28:08,720
and begins to flap them As it flies higher and

334
00:28:08,920 --> 00:28:16,039
higher and higher. You soon find yourself high above the planet,

335
00:28:16,720 --> 00:28:20,839
the wind against your face, the sun against your skin.

336
00:28:21,759 --> 00:28:26,720
It's incredible and relaxing to fly around on something like this.

337
00:28:28,119 --> 00:28:32,839
Below you, you see a crowd gathered inside a massive

338
00:28:32,920 --> 00:28:38,240
arena where a bear covered in vines and leaves looks

339
00:28:38,240 --> 00:28:43,039
like it's fighting some sort of ice fox. The bear

340
00:28:43,240 --> 00:28:47,079
is using vines to shoot out and wrap around the creature,

341
00:28:47,519 --> 00:28:51,160
while the ice fox is sending frozen spikes of ice

342
00:28:51,240 --> 00:28:56,839
across the ground and through the air that looks intense.

343
00:28:58,160 --> 00:29:03,240
You land beside the helper robot. Any chance I can

344
00:29:03,319 --> 00:29:05,680
combine something and fight.

345
00:29:05,440 --> 00:29:08,519
Speaker 3: In the arena, you ask? Of course?

346
00:29:09,759 --> 00:29:13,559
Speaker 1: Can I combine the griffin again? You ask?

347
00:29:14,359 --> 00:29:14,880
Speaker 3: Certainly?

348
00:29:15,480 --> 00:29:20,720
Speaker 1: Layered combinations are allowed if the creature remains healthy and comfortable.

349
00:29:21,759 --> 00:29:27,640
The griffin lifts its head watching you. How about fire,

350
00:29:28,119 --> 00:29:35,119
you ask. The griffin nods in agreement. Very good, we

351
00:29:35,240 --> 00:29:39,519
will combine the griffin with the element of fire. Please

352
00:29:39,720 --> 00:29:44,039
lead the griffin into the chamber on the left. You

353
00:29:44,200 --> 00:29:47,680
lead the griffin into the chamber on the left as

354
00:29:47,759 --> 00:29:53,039
another robot places a little container full of well fire

355
00:29:53,160 --> 00:29:59,119
on the other side al Anyboddy, you ask, the griffin nods.

356
00:30:00,559 --> 00:30:06,480
You press the combined button, and immediately the griffin lights

357
00:30:06,599 --> 00:30:11,680
up and transforms into energy, as does the fire Again,

358
00:30:12,319 --> 00:30:15,920
the two of them combine into a stream of energy

359
00:30:16,519 --> 00:30:20,680
and form themselves into something new in the other chamber.

360
00:30:21,720 --> 00:30:29,559
Before long, the fire Griffin solidifies. Its feathers now glow

361
00:30:29,720 --> 00:30:34,799
on the tips like embers. It's lion main flickers with

362
00:30:35,200 --> 00:30:39,480
well some kind of flame as well. Lines of fire

363
00:30:39,640 --> 00:30:44,000
run along its wings, and its talons shine as if

364
00:30:44,039 --> 00:30:47,720
they're peated or something. It doesn't look as fun to

365
00:30:47,799 --> 00:30:51,160
ride anymore. It looks like it'll feel kind of well

366
00:30:51,400 --> 00:30:55,440
burnie if you do, but it does look like it

367
00:30:55,480 --> 00:31:00,920
could take bart in the battle arena. Ready for battle,

368
00:31:01,160 --> 00:31:04,839
you ask, yes, I have put you on the docket

369
00:31:04,920 --> 00:31:10,319
to perform. Next, you walk over to the battle arena

370
00:31:10,359 --> 00:31:15,440
with the griffin helper. Robots allow you inside and bring

371
00:31:15,519 --> 00:31:20,240
you over to the side of the arena itself. Aren't

372
00:31:20,319 --> 00:31:25,839
you ready? The person asks. The door opens and the

373
00:31:25,880 --> 00:31:30,880
Griffin steps inside. A door on the other side opens,

374
00:31:31,599 --> 00:31:35,039
and the same nature bear that was taking on the

375
00:31:35,079 --> 00:31:43,400
fox steps out. Battle begins in three two one. The

376
00:31:43,559 --> 00:31:48,759
nature bear attacks first. It slams both paws into the ground.

377
00:31:49,559 --> 00:31:54,000
Roots burst outward and try to wrap around the griffin.

378
00:31:54,920 --> 00:31:58,880
The fire Griffin leaps into the air. Flames blast from

379
00:31:58,880 --> 00:32:01,960
its wings, giving out extra lift and allowing it to

380
00:32:02,000 --> 00:32:05,519
sort of float instead of needing to flap its arms.

381
00:32:06,240 --> 00:32:12,119
The roots snap together beneath it, narrowly missing fire burst.

382
00:32:12,599 --> 00:32:16,039
You call not really sure what to call the Griffin's

383
00:32:16,039 --> 00:32:19,599
attacks or exactly what it can do, but the griffin

384
00:32:19,680 --> 00:32:24,079
seems to understand. It dives and sends a stream of

385
00:32:24,200 --> 00:32:27,640
flame across the ground in front of the bear. The

386
00:32:27,680 --> 00:32:31,119
fire doesn't seem to hurt the arena floor, but it

387
00:32:31,240 --> 00:32:36,559
burns through the vines the bears controlling the bear growls

388
00:32:36,599 --> 00:32:41,599
and stops again. This time, full trees shoot up from

389
00:32:41,599 --> 00:32:46,559
the ground, forming themselves into a cage around the griffin.

390
00:32:47,400 --> 00:32:52,799
The griffin lights up with white hot flame, and the

391
00:32:52,839 --> 00:32:57,759
branches begin to sizzle, burn, and then pull away again.

392
00:32:58,599 --> 00:33:01,200
The griffin lands and the round in front.

393
00:33:01,000 --> 00:33:01,599
Speaker 3: Of the bear.

394
00:33:02,240 --> 00:33:05,680
Speaker 1: It takes in a deep breath and breathes out a

395
00:33:05,720 --> 00:33:09,680
plume of fire. The fire hits the bear sends it

396
00:33:09,799 --> 00:33:15,119
flying backwards into the wall, where it raises its hand,

397
00:33:16,079 --> 00:33:18,759
indicating that it gives up.

398
00:33:19,480 --> 00:33:20,599
Speaker 3: It doesn't seem.

399
00:33:20,319 --> 00:33:24,000
Speaker 1: Too hurt, but it clearly wasn't sure what to do

400
00:33:24,240 --> 00:33:29,359
with its nature powers versus this fire element. Obviously, fire

401
00:33:29,400 --> 00:33:33,599
would be stronger in a battle like this. The griffin

402
00:33:33,680 --> 00:33:37,400
walks over to the side, where you carefully pat it

403
00:33:37,519 --> 00:33:40,839
on the side of the head, not wanting to burn

404
00:33:40,880 --> 00:33:45,559
yourself or anything. To your surprise, it doesn't even really

405
00:33:45,640 --> 00:33:51,759
seem warm. Your hands are unbothered by the fire. Interesting,

406
00:33:52,440 --> 00:33:55,880
you say. You lead the griffin back out of the

407
00:33:55,920 --> 00:34:01,200
arena and over to the central machines. Did you enjoy

408
00:34:01,400 --> 00:34:06,839
your battle? Yeah? I mean I could see doing that again.

409
00:34:07,440 --> 00:34:12,000
Coming up with different combinations of animals to fight against

410
00:34:12,000 --> 00:34:16,079
each other seems like a great idea for another adventure.

411
00:34:16,400 --> 00:34:21,840
But right now I'm feeling kind of tired. Honestly, I

412
00:34:21,840 --> 00:34:24,599
don't think I have room for a fire griffin. Is

413
00:34:24,639 --> 00:34:28,360
there somewhere it can hang out on this planet? Yes,

414
00:34:29,239 --> 00:34:34,199
we have a sanctuary for such animals. Please leave it

415
00:34:34,239 --> 00:34:39,400
with me. It will be quite happy, I promise. You

416
00:34:39,559 --> 00:34:43,800
hand the reins over to the robot and you once

417
00:34:43,880 --> 00:34:47,880
again pet the griffin on the side. All right, buddy, Well,

418
00:34:48,239 --> 00:34:52,159
maybe we'll come back and visit or try another animal

419
00:34:52,320 --> 00:34:56,199
creation combination, race or battle or something like that in

420
00:34:56,239 --> 00:35:01,599
the future. You turn around and walk back to the spaceship.

421
00:35:02,519 --> 00:35:07,880
You climb aboard, the door closes, and you laid down

422
00:35:07,960 --> 00:35:12,400
on the couch. You place your head on the pillow

423
00:35:12,440 --> 00:35:18,159
at one end. The lights dim all around you, and

424
00:35:18,320 --> 00:35:23,599
you start to simply focus on your breath, noticing as

425
00:35:23,679 --> 00:35:30,000
your stomach rises and falls, and with each breath you

426
00:35:30,119 --> 00:35:35,159
release a little more tension from your body, letting your

427
00:35:35,440 --> 00:35:41,320
arms relax and sink down into the couch, letting your

428
00:35:41,360 --> 00:35:49,639
shoulders drop down, your legs melt, and your eyes close.

429
00:35:52,079 --> 00:35:58,079
With each breath, you sink down deeper and deeper, and

430
00:35:58,159 --> 00:36:02,400
the deeper you sink, theter you feel, and the better

431
00:36:02,480 --> 00:36:08,039
you feel. The deeper you sink, until you feel as

432
00:36:08,039 --> 00:36:12,920
if you're floating on a cloud, and your mind begins

433
00:36:12,960 --> 00:36:18,760
to wander off to thoughts of new dreams and new

434
00:36:18,800 --> 00:38:33,599
adventures to come. Good night, everyone in.

435
00:39:25,039 --> 00:40:54,000
Speaker 4: New York. No more.

436
00:41:48,880 --> 00:43:08,280
Speaker 1: N no Thing, no.

437
00:44:27,960 --> 00:52:27,719
Speaker 4: More nan Union, no music game,
