Speaker 2: Thank you, Joy.
Speaker 1: All right, Laura, you said your name was Yes, Yes, you.
Speaker 3: May call me a Laura or you can call me
a Vertical. That is my cold name.
Speaker 1: Do you have a preference?
Speaker 4: No?
Speaker 5: What should I call you?
Speaker 1: Doctor Aquarius? Will be fine?
Speaker 5: Okay, Doctor Aquarius.
Speaker 3: Please, as I've been showing you these documents, Aiden here
was so kind to provide me a sample of her
blood and I was able to determine there are markers,
but I don't quite understand the sequence here. I was
hoping that perhaps you might be able to assist us.
Speaker 1: Yes, there's a bit of bioengineering that had to be
done here. It was the only way that the tight
Knight and human genes could be splice together.
Speaker 3: I will have to admit this is beyond anything I
have ever laid my eyes on.
Speaker 5: Eden. You are truly remarkable.
Speaker 3: M So it is my intention to engineer some kind
of blocker or perhaps something.
Speaker 5: That can influence.
Speaker 3: This anomaly that I've been discovering in the blood of
those that have come into contact with the one we
called the die.
Speaker 1: Yes, perhaps you can explain a little bit more as
to the intention that you are. What exactly are you
trying to do?
Speaker 5: Well? I look carefully over to Eden. We want to
make sure that we're able to.
Speaker 3: Maintain our agency, that I has certain powers over the way.
Speaker 1: Yes, this is something that I've run into with several experiments.
Speaker 2: And tight nights.
Speaker 5: Hmm. Interesting, Well, here are all of my notes.
Speaker 3: I have compiled these notes from three different individuals. These
are from Edra, these are from Eden, and these are
from a human of which I cannot tell you their identity.
Speaker 1: All right, let me take a closer look. Is it
all right if I use your use your skin?
Speaker 5: Absolutely? Sorry, it's a little sticky.
Speaker 1: Do you have any gloves?
Speaker 5: Etn Do you have any gloves?
Speaker 6: Uh?
Speaker 4: I mean not like the reusable kind of got the
warm kind.
Speaker 1: Anything that might clean the surface.
Speaker 5: I take the skelen and I like it.
Speaker 1: That's really not what I meant. Uh, do we have
any gol maybe you operate it?
Speaker 5: There should be in the cabinet over there, alcohol doo.
Speaker 4: Yes, okay, I'll go over and I'll grab the gauze
and the alcohol and start like wiping down whatever Doctor
Aquarius is going to be touching.
Speaker 1: Eventually she begins to take a look. Just to clarify here, vertigo,
I'm looking at your your Do you see my bread
clock bread cloth as well as Nade's network? Now this
is the Die's network or did you have a different
one that was free Eden? For some reason I thought
you had another one.
Speaker 3: No, the the times that I worked with Eden was
in addition to.
Speaker 4: This, I have a Eden project clock. But it's got
three more segments left.
Speaker 1: Alrighty, fair enough, Okay, then I would like you to
make a role for me, please, okay, And this is
up to you how you want to do this. But
this is essentially researching with doctor Aquarius.
Speaker 3: All right, Well, clearly now that we have gauze, alcohol,
notes and licking, this is doctoring. Yes, give maybe alien
ways to you.
Speaker 7: Gem not understand he's human?
Speaker 1: Well, it does fall under the categories analyze the substances, composition, comfort,
someone in distressed, has to treat someone's injuries. I believe
this would fall under analyzed substances composition.
Speaker 5: Yeah, position.
Speaker 1: Risky, Okay, the effect will be standard.
Speaker 5: Okay, here we go. Bonus die.
Speaker 8: You have.
Speaker 1: Two bonus die. I gave you the two bonus die
because of the lab and because you're being helped in
this situation. Five okay, uh in five, I believe I
want to say that fills up two segments, but I
mean double check also, audience. Just so you know, we
did some other downtime moves after last week's session, and
people sort of did some indulging advices, but we're playing
out the ones that we think might have more of
an impact. Okay, so it is two segments. So you
have completed your progress clock for this working with doctor
Aquarius and with Eden. You spend a few days going
over your notes and analyzing these traits. And the information
that doctor Aquarius gives you is that certain members of
the tight Night race and she believes that these are
those that have the their ancestries that sort of like
are closest to the evolutionary branches that broke off because
of the varying climates underwater on on Titan, and that
basically the the main the main families for each of
these evolutionary branches that kind of broke off. And she
kind of like she doesn't know tight Night history, and
I don't know how much how many tight Knights know
of of your history, like where those evolutionary breaks happened,
But that is the best guess that she has is
that at those points where evolution was forced to occur
rapidly is where she believes the the tight Knights that
are strongest in the way are able to use biological
means to to excrete markers uh from their own biology
into other people and and and use the way just
like most tight Knights can use it via contact.
Speaker 9: Uh.
Speaker 1: Nada must be one of these people. And I think
that Eden you you also learn a little bit from
doctor Aquarius about some experiments with tight Knights, and I
don't know how you feel about this, Vertigo, but there
is there is talk from doctor Aquarius. She doesn't go
into extreme detail about this, but she says that there
were several tight Knights that were captured for part of
these experiments that happened. She wasn't directly responsible for them,
but the people that were paying her were.
Speaker 5: That would makes sense. The data had to come from somewhere.
Speaker 10: Yes, interesting.
Speaker 1: The markers that you found in Eden's blood. Eden, what
is your clock right now for your long term project?
Speaker 7: I am at seven out of ten?
Speaker 1: You can add one to that clock. As a sort
of side effect of being part of the you learned
a little bit more here about some of the things
that happened as part of your of doctor Aquarius's research
for you and the others that were involved in this,
and from what you can tell, your genes have kind
of been spiced with some of these members of the
titan Nite race that have these genes that are able
to affect people with the way and inject their biologic
markers into others.
Speaker 5: That don't make sense.
Speaker 3: In sociology, we have elders and they are.
Speaker 5: Much better equipped.
Speaker 3: They study and have mastered the history of our people.
So it is not common that Titanites would know the
deep roots of our heritage, but they would make sense
that the very beginning of it all would be the
most powerful elders back on titan might have more information,
and it is terrifying to know this because the elders
have specifically exiled the die from Titan.
Speaker 4: Wait, so just to clarify it, should I be able
to do that too?
Speaker 1: You've never shown any no right evidence that you were
able to. But I suppose it's possible.
Speaker 4: How high up the chain ancestry wise worth the Titans
that word.
Speaker 1: We're not exactly sure. We don't have enough of a
sample size, I really know.
Speaker 3: Unfortunately, I do not have elder blood on me to
cross examine you.
Speaker 1: There's a lot of information that is kept very secreted
by the tight Night people.
Speaker 5: We rely heavily on our elders.
Speaker 4: And Ruby she was sick. M what what caused.
Speaker 1: That degradation in the well in the genomes splicing? H
m hm h. When I've I've brought you in for checkups,
that is one of the things that I've checked to
see if there were any anomalies that arose in your genomes.
Speaker 4: So what made it get worse?
Speaker 11: Ruby?
Speaker 1: Ruby was very adept at using the Way and precursor
artifacts from a very early age. She relied very heavily
on it. I think it accelerated a degradation. Her strong
connection to the Way and my inability to perfect the
splicing of of the genes. I think it just magnified
the problem even further from what I understand. Every time
a titan height uses the way, they are unaffected. Their
bodies are. They've grown to evolve to communicate using the way,
and it's part of who they are. It's part of
their evolution. I don't know. If I don't know, if
it's possible to avoid the degradation, I'm gonna go.
Speaker 5: She has been through a lot, I know. I think, yes,
very lonely for her for a long time. I know,
what do you hope to happen?
Speaker 9: I just hope I can help.
Speaker 3: It might be hard to feel it right now, but.
Speaker 5: I think you being here is help.
Speaker 1: If I don't go soon, the corporations that I'm employed by,
they want to return on their investment. They'll search for her.
Speaker 3: I think that for as long as you can afford,
you should try to stick around. I think she needs
you more than she might.
Speaker 10: Be letting on.
Speaker 1: I don't think she wants anything to do with me.
Speaker 5: I think you're wrong. Just give her some time. She
is someone that.
Speaker 3: I think has been easily misunderstood for most of her life.
Speaker 5: Someone that is analyzed.
Speaker 3: And studied. But I think that there is something powerful
and just being there for someone without wanting.
Speaker 5: Something from them. So I think you being here is helping.
Speaker 1: I don't know if I know how to be a mother.
Speaker 3: Well maybe you don't have to be a mother right now,
just someone who went through something with her, that's right.
In the meantime, I have the intention to try to
reverse engineer all of this data. If somehow we are
able to make a way to either reverse the blockers
or cancel them out, I think this would be very
important to us.
Speaker 5: You see, the dies ability with the way.
Speaker 3: Allows her to have a sort of possession or compulsion
over the people that she encounters.
Speaker 1: Yes, the the way is it's projected outwards as a
sort of connection. The distance at which it can happen
is rather limited from what I understand, even if even
if it is extreme for some people, it is rather
limited in the galactic sense. You wouldn't say, be able
to remain on Titan and take control of someone that
was on Luna, for example, That wouldn't be possible. It
has to do with, mostly from what I understand, a
combination of several things.
Speaker 10: There is a.
Speaker 1: Chemical reaction a biological reaction as well as a sonic
and a well a psychic ability of sorts that your
people possess. So it is a combination of various things,
and Doctor Aquarius starts to rattle off various possibilities and.
Speaker 3: Clearly it shows that you are needed here. Okay, how
much you're able to contribute already?
Speaker 2: Thank you.
Speaker 1: I'm I'm just going to rest. I think I've had
a bit of a long day and my arm is
regrowing my hand.
Speaker 5: But it's if you would like to accelerate the process
I have.
Speaker 1: This experimental gels should be fine. Thank you.
Speaker 5: Okay, just let me know if you change your mind.
I Am going to go make some bread.
Speaker 1: Meanwhile, Peace, you've been doing your own research into a
certain individual. You've been trying to research Stacey dreiberg one moment,
snapcamp snap can don't like the dust.
Speaker 12: It won't like just do a no filter.
Speaker 1: Yeah yeah, it's kind of bit the dust at this point.
Speaker 10: Oh has it?
Speaker 9: Okay?
Speaker 1: Yeah? So where do we find you?
Speaker 10: Peace?
Speaker 13: I am at a whatever, like a free console.
Speaker 12: If there is one that's not like in a crowded
area on the ship.
Speaker 13: I'm not sure if there is really one particular that's
like that. But if there isn't, I'll just find it
a terminal that I can I can use comms on.
Speaker 1: You are all at stepping Stone station, Okay, okay, so
you could probably find a commercial terminal to access, which
would probably be even better than what the ship has
available for your research. Or if you are trying to
be you know, sort of stealthy, I guess in your
approach to this, then that's another thing entirely.
Speaker 12: Now we're again a steppingstone.
Speaker 1: It's serious, okay, okay, gotcha, all right.
Speaker 13: So what I'm doing is just an overview of what
I'm doing. I've been trying to fill up this this
long term project clock and thanks to a krit either.
Speaker 12: Last week or the week before I or.
Speaker 13: Last down time or the down time before, I had
one segment left. So no matter what I roll, I
will fill up that that last segment.
Speaker 12: And that's that's what I'm doing.
Speaker 13: And I'm not sure I used to acquire asset in
order to do that, And I'm guessing what my idea
was that I would acquire damning evidence and it might
have something to do with the because I'm not I'm
not sure exactly what's happening. But I got last time
I did this, I got three names, Governor Dobek, Sabella,
and Morris on Mars, and they had androids that have
acted strangely or needed extra service. I'm not sure if
that deals with with the human first movement or that
if that deals with Haven. So I'm not sure if
that's the evidence has something to do with that, or
it has something.
Speaker 12: To do with.
Speaker 13: Maybe I caught a video feed or a communicate that's
incontrovertibly from her to somebody else, or to hear from
somebody else, you know, like like an email server. Okay,
so what we've seen that bring people down before?
Speaker 1: Okay, So it's up to you how you'd like to
do this. You're making a role basically just to see
what what you're doing. It's it's I believe, I believe
even even a bad role is still one segment, right, Yeah,
you still get a you still get one segment even
on a one, two three. So it's really up to
you how you want to do this.
Speaker 12: Let's see what what do you I forget what you
roll for the uh.
Speaker 1: So it's whatever whatever action you want to take. It's
like if you want to go the route of you know,
the damning evidence. Oh okay, yeah, yeah, you know how
did you obtain it?
Speaker 10: Did you?
Speaker 13: You know it was it definitely would have been consort, okay,
with contacts, so it would be a resolve role or
a consort role, which one doesn't matter.
Speaker 1: It doesn't matter. I mean, roll it just for the
sake of it, just to see how how insanely over
the top it is.
Speaker 14: Six.
Speaker 1: So this isn't a resolve, this is just consort.
Speaker 12: Oh, same amount of dice, ok yeah, yeah.
Speaker 1: Yeah, okay, so a six would have been the equivalent
of three, which is more than enough to finish this up,
so damning evidence. Indeed, you meet with a contact at
stepping Stone Station, somebody that has gone through quite a
bit of trouble to get some of this damning evidence
that is essentially a death sentence if they are found
out you have gotten this from them for some kind
of favor or returning the favor, that's up to you.
However this happened, but you are given this piece of
evidence and it is essentially I think it's something really bland.
It's nothing flashy. It's it's like engineering reports like you
know on like on these various androids or something. It's
like a paper trail essentially. It's like really boring, like
follow the money kind of a thing, where it's like
you trace this to this person, this to this person,
this to this person. This is like ten different contractors
or whatever that manufacture these different parts for these androids,
and eventually.
Speaker 12: Do you remember that part in.
Speaker 13: I think it was the movie JFK where it's Donald
Sutherland's character and he's talking.
Speaker 10: To you.
Speaker 12: The main lawyer Dance with Wolves whatever his name is,
I can't remember. Kevin Costner, Kevin Costler.
Speaker 13: Yeah, he's talking to Kevin Costner and he's sitting on
the bench and they're talking about it and how like
Donald Sutherland came in contact with this like newspaper article
that was printed too early or something like that, and
he's like and he's just telling him.
Speaker 12: Like, why do you think that is? Maybe you should
follow up on that, follow the money, you know, all
that kind of shit. It's just very very like lynchpin,
you know, to unlocking this mystery.
Speaker 1: You there's all kinds of like subcontractors and shell companies
and stuff to route all this stuff through. But you've
got it. You've got this paper trail, essentially proving that
several androids, we'll call it, like twenty androids belonging to
four of these of these politicians are under direct control
of Stacy Dreiberga, and these androids are you know, the
equivalent of personal retinue of these politicians. And they have
access to all kinds of documents and proceedings and you know, votes,
and it's like they're right there and they're supposed to be,
you know, completely objective, and you know that they have
all these obligations and they have very specific programming for
these for these jobs, and it's been essentially overridden.
Speaker 13: And is do we know what her plan is with them?
Speaker 9: No?
Speaker 1: We don't, Okay, but you have the evidence to prove
that Dryberg is involved in this.
Speaker 12: Okay, Well, what.
Speaker 1: You hold in your hand could very well get you killed.
Speaker 13: Conveniently enough, I have a contact that I made earlier,
Ranya Krash.
Speaker 12: She's a reporter, and.
Speaker 13: As soon as I have that that data stick or
document or whatever, and my my hot little hand.
Speaker 12: I will.
Speaker 15: Go to.
Speaker 13: Is there the equivalent of like an internet cafe or
something like that. So I'm not calling from the MALLI.
Speaker 1: I don't think that there is I think that this
they have. I mean, they have public terminals, you know,
like you'd be able to make calls from series if
you want, but you would probably yeah, you would probably
have to put in some kind of it's up to
you how you do this, but you'd have to put
in some kind of scrambling device or an anonymous thing
just to double secure yourself. You know, there's probably a
way for like anonymous tips to get submitted or what
have you. But yeah, just for safety's sake.
Speaker 12: Okay, that's what I'll do.
Speaker 13: I will use, uh, use one of the terminals. I
will uh, since I since I am a part of
I am a part of Haven now, and I know
the the inner workings, well not the inner workings, but
a rudimentary knowledge of the black market that they deal with.
And you know, I'm sure they use encryption and hiding
their servers and hiding their you know, their their transmissions.
Speaker 12: And stuff like that. I'll use that.
Speaker 13: In order to encrypt or hide where who and where
this came from. And uh, I'll send her send it
to her as just like a I guess email. I
don't know like what the term would be, but like
I will send it to her and it will say,
let me think.
Speaker 12: It's gotta be a good line.
Speaker 1: The headline, yep.
Speaker 16: Uh, something like, uh.
Speaker 17: The.
Speaker 12: Fall of Stacey dreiberg the.
Speaker 1: Oh Man Human First Movement halted?
Speaker 6: Mm hmm yeah.
Speaker 12: How about how about how about something? How about this?
How about just human first falters?
Speaker 1: Okay? So I would like you to make a role
for me, and this will either be okay, and you
get one bonus DIY for this because of your connection
with Haven. Uh, it's either going to be probably a
hack or a skulk.
Speaker 12: Okay, either one, it doesn't matter. I have you picked.
You picked one of the few that I have zero
pips in.
Speaker 1: You make the decision.
Speaker 13: Okay, let's do Let's do skulk.
Speaker 9: Okay.
Speaker 12: And you said I get one bonus dice.
Speaker 1: What's my position, risky? The effect will be great?
Speaker 13: Okay, Okay, one, so I get one dice.
Speaker 12: Okay, let's make it count.
Speaker 18: Huh.
Speaker 12: Oh No, I would like a devil's.
Speaker 19: Bargle or or resist the consequences that I mean, I
could definitely do that, but but that still means I
fail though, right or not?
Speaker 10: Uh?
Speaker 1: That is correct?
Speaker 12: Okay.
Speaker 13: So if I want to take a devil's bargain. If that,
if I still fail, I would love an opportunity to
re roll it.
Speaker 1: Okay, devil's bargain, devil's bargain. We up this too desperate
and you're not gonna like this. I'm sorry, but it's
the only thing that popped into my head when you
asked this. Okay, how shall I phrase this? Uh? Haven
will be discovered if you fail.
Speaker 12: I would like to push myself. All right, Okay, so
now I have stress.
Speaker 13: Yeah, you get to that too, stress, yep, yep, all right,
let's do this.
Speaker 20: Yeah, oh my god, would you like to resist the Well,
yes I would.
Speaker 12: I would love to.
Speaker 5: That was expensive.
Speaker 12: Yeah, that cost me a lot for two threes and
a one.
Speaker 1: And you still have to roll to resist the consequences
and this could be a lot of stress. Uh so
this is going to be a prowess role.
Speaker 12: Mm hmm.
Speaker 1: Okay, you take another stress to resist the consequences. So,
I don't know how you recognize this.
Speaker 13: Well, if it's a If it's a fail, that means
that what I what I'm what I am intending to
happen does not happen.
Speaker 1: Mm hmm.
Speaker 12: But uh, that could mean that.
Speaker 13: I I have to get in touch with her personally,
and I can't actually do it over the way the
way I want to do it, so I might have
to like actually meet up with her in person.
Speaker 8: Yeah.
Speaker 1: Basically you're trying to use the the access of Haven
m HM too to be your filter. And I think
the way that this is going to happen basically is
you get a you basically get a message up on
the screen and there is there's a notification there as
you're about to try and send this out.
Speaker 13: But as an notifications say uh.
Speaker 1: It's it's essentially a notification and it says by uh,
it says protocol disruption attempted access has been revoked.
Speaker 13: Yeah, my my next communication communication will be to slice.
Speaker 1: Then okay, you begin to type in slices personal contact
information and you try to reach out. Uh. There is
a moment and you see slices visual on the terminal.
Speaker 12: Good to see you again.
Speaker 1: I wish that I was seeing you under different circumstances.
Speaker 12: I agree. So I assume that you have been made
aware of my my mistake.
Speaker 17: I received some information about it. I do not have
time to deal with this, unfortunately. I will suggest to
you that if you use our nutual means of communication
again for such things.
Speaker 1: To do so under the vowel of.
Speaker 17: Other means contacts, well, were directly first in the future.
Speaker 13: That was my mistake, and I apologize. And also, since
you put your trust in me with the information that
you've already given me, I didn't consider that I should
put my trust in you as well.
Speaker 12: I have information that in person. If it is important,
it is important, very.
Speaker 17: Well, I will try to make time hour from now.
Speaker 5: Where are you?
Speaker 12: So slices on stepping stone, isn't he? But no, he's not.
Oh okay, the slice on Great Ocean.
Speaker 1: Yep, there we go.
Speaker 13: Okay, okay, I'm on stepping Stone station.
Speaker 17: Then I suppose we will not be able to meet
within the hour. They're asking you reach Great Ocean Station
on your next visit weekend speak.
Speaker 13: Is there a way I can get this information to
you before that? It's dangerous and if something were to
happen to me, I would like to know that you had.
Speaker 17: It if the information is sold us. I believe that
I am someone that you may be able to speak
to on steppings down.
Speaker 6: The station.
Speaker 12: That would be best.
Speaker 17: I am currently speaking with another individual, however, and I
must return to that call.
Speaker 12: Very well, you can contact me via the Molly very well,
good day and to you.
Speaker 1: The terminal closes down and you are kind of left
with this information in hand. Your contact has gone, and
your access to Haven to use any sort of communication
through them has sort of been revoked. You still have
access to the black market, but from what you can tell,
what you were trying to do, what you were essentially
trying to use Haven as a filter did not did
not work.
Speaker 12: Right, Okay, Uh, then I will. I'll make my way
back to the.
Speaker 13: Mali and uh, if that goes uneventfully, I will now
this this information. How how am I How do I
have it?
Speaker 12: Is it on a chip?
Speaker 1: Is it on like I imagine it would be? Uh, it
would be like hard evidence, So you probably would be
on a data stick.
Speaker 12: Okay, Okay, then I will.
Speaker 13: Uh how many years has it been since been in
black It's been like a thousand. Yeah, because I'm I'm
I'm planning on putting putting the data stick on pussy
Galore's fucking oh wow.
Speaker 12: Wow, because that.
Speaker 13: I mean that way, you know, no one else aboard
the ship knows where it is. I'm the only one
who knows where it is, and I know I can
keep my mouth shut.
Speaker 1: Yeah it's been it's been over a thousand years.
Speaker 12: But yes, good, Okay, So that's that's what I will do.
I will attempt to uh hide the data stick on.
Speaker 13: Uh you know what instead of that.
Speaker 21: No, I was thinking like I'd be the only one who.
Speaker 13: Could probably stomach like going through her litter box, but
it probably gets cleaned, and I don't want the data
stick thrown out.
Speaker 1: So I would hope that you have a robotic litter
box at this point. Yeah, I mean we have them now, so.
Speaker 12: So we'll go with that plan. I'll stick it on
the cat and uh fasten it to the their collar.
Speaker 1: So you you hide this data stick on pig's collar.
Speaker 12: Yep.
Speaker 13: And I I guess I'm just gonna wait until Slice
calls me with his contact.
Speaker 12: I can meet here on sept Stone.
Speaker 1: Sure, there's a probably a let's call it. Fifteen minutes
passes by and you just get a simple message notification
probably and Barry, I don't know where you are at
this moment, if you're having a shopping spree with Vertigo.
Speaker 14: Oh yeah, what definitely?
Speaker 1: Yeah, so uh there's a yeah, there's probably just a
basic notification or something on one of the terminals nearby,
and you can see that there's a there's a communication,
probably just some simple texts where you can meet with
this individual. You you have this information, You've got it
sort of secured with PG right now, and you have
this information for the contact. Do you do anything else?
Speaker 18: No?
Speaker 13: I mean I did the we did our you know,
off stream downtime ship.
Speaker 12: That was the one thing that I had love to you.
So I'm good to go.
Speaker 1: Okay, we'll say that the exchange goes very simply and easily.
You hand off this information to this person, They take it,
and you are immediately aware that this is another android.
Speaker 13: And I tell whoever I'm meeting with, I tell them
if you should, if you should desire to go to
the press or the police, I give them the name
of Rod to Crash, the reporter and Captain Truman, my
former partner.
Speaker 12: If they choose to go either of those routes. They
have a contact that I trust.
Speaker 1: Understood, Thank you for the information.
Speaker 9: We will put it to good use, I hope.
Speaker 1: So they move on and there's a there's like a
moment of hesitation. They turn as they walk away, and
they look back towards you your designation peace. Yes, I
believe it will be very ironic.
Speaker 22: Well, to quote one of my ancestors, fictional.
Speaker 12: Sunwise, to confuse peace with quiet.
Speaker 1: They turn and walk away. It's been about a week
since the events at Luna.
Speaker 9: The group Basime Let's Go.
Speaker 1: Has reconvened aboard Molly and has been extremely boisterous most
of the day. Cassie has put Molly through various tests
and things up until this moment. But Barry, it's a
big day for you. Oh yeah, what's your day been
like so far?
Speaker 14: Probably? Well, first, I was making sure that we had
all green lights on some new weaponry that may have
just been installed into the Mollie. I was trying to
sade between engines or particle cannons. With particle cannons, I
feel like prices are good, but you know, if ain't
nobody in front of you works out pretty well. So
I've just been going through sure every system is just
rat because had a week to look things over. I
will eventually cass has done a good lookover. I know
Little Code did a little work on the hull. We
had a little bit of damage left that I think
cass was gonna work with.
Speaker 23: Me on.
Speaker 1: Heavy emphasis on think mm hmm, yeah, there's there was
quite a bit of damage and you managed to get
the ship repaired up just under time. And that is
with the help of Code and Cassie, the ship is
back up to you know, operating order. Cassie was complaining
the whole time about being rushed and wanting to have
more time to get everything spit shined basically and make
sure that it's really working as best as possible.
Speaker 3: During the entire time, I have been memorizing the way
everyone prefers their toast, and I am improving on my
toast creation.
Speaker 12: Mm how would how would our interaction go? Because I
don't eat, so.
Speaker 5: Where do you put the toast I give you?
Speaker 13: I prefer no toasts since I have no practical use
for it. I don't have a digestive system.
Speaker 3: Whenever, the next time you go back to your charging station,
you find a stack of toasts there.
Speaker 5: It's just building.
Speaker 12: I don't know what to do with it. I think
I think I would.
Speaker 13: I would pack it up in like a plastic bag
after it got stale, and then write something on write
something on the bag, like.
Speaker 12: If you come in contact with ducks, case of ducks
and case of ducks open bag.
Speaker 14: Yeah, little known fact. Ducks are on the on the
race circuit, so it'll be vital for our winning.
Speaker 7: Survival in front of the competition.
Speaker 12: Do cats eat toast? Okay, I've never.
Speaker 14: Yeah, carnivores eating bread is a is a thing. I
mean I sometimes do.
Speaker 3: That answer is, yes, cats can eat toast as it
is one of the non toxic foods for them, but
it contains a large amount of carbohydrates, so it probably don't.
Speaker 12: Did you make toast for pussy of course? Oh god,
she is going to be so fat.
Speaker 24: Like a little planet now, Barry, Yeah, how many races
have you done in the past, I'll specific hosted races.
Speaker 12: Well, I've done human, I've done tight knit. Oh you
meant like.
Speaker 14: Right right right back right, Yeah, No, probably probably a
couple dozen.
Speaker 1: I'd say a couple dozen. Yeah, only one one, right, Yeah,
but I haven't lost out right the other ones. You know,
maybe I either got close, maybe I think a couple
of thirds. You know, Chaunce and I were were doing
a bunch of race and it was kind of his
get up and go attitude, so to speak. Uh So
the way that the races usually work are people get
put into different into different seeds essentially, and a lot
of it has to do with the fact that there's
a decent turnover for these races of people that die,
and it can happen in a bunch of different ways.
Other competitors, some of the clues can kill people. Sometimes traps. Yeah,
there's a whole mess of ways that those kinds of
things can happen, just general accidents and stuff like that.
The races are kind of similar but different. In a
lot of cases they are. They have some commonalities, and
typically what it is is that there are there are
different steps to a race. Okay, there's different like legs
to a race, and it does involve full cruise. It's
not just individuals, although some people have tried to run
it individually before and it hasn't worked out super well
for them. What you have found to be the most
common occurrence is that there will be clues and you
follow the clues to get to the next to the
next clue basically, and in each time you get a clue,
you get some kind of a token, and you need
to have all the tokens at the end of the race.
To actually consider yourself finished, you have to basically cross
the finish line with these tokens. If you cross the
finish line without these tokens, it's no good. And you've
just now received the details for the race. You begin
to pull these up and you see the seeds for
the race. In the number one seed the Ace of
Spades crew with Cross being the captain of that ship.
Speaker 12: Is that a name we know?
Speaker 1: You would know that piece? I would guess Choss. I
thought we had it under Cross.
Speaker 3: Mm hmm, Okay, I've been thinking it was Cross this
whole time.
Speaker 14: It's Choss. Okay, Peace with know Choss. Unfortunately or fortunately
the rest of y'all. Maybe if you were into race
and you'd heard his name.
Speaker 1: Being surprised piece, the type of sausage piece, you know
this this individual, at least tangentially or just from Barry
talking about them. I don't know if you've ever met them,
but Cassie has definitely talked about about him. Barry's definitely
talked about him, and maybe even Dakota Bob. You've heard
Dakota Bob say something. But yeah, Barry, it's up to
you how much you want to tell Peace about that
how much the conversation has bled through. The Other names
are coming up as well. There's Hallow'd be thy name,
captain by Sister Tyson of the Universalist Church. And she
is a serious competitor, Barry. You've been in a few
races with her. You suspect that she's going to be
one of the serious racers today very much. Uh, a
strong possibility to win with Chauce as well. Then there
is the Four Horsemen captain by Oliver Spears, the Holy
Diver captain by Clifton Sanders, The Run to the Hills
captain by Ada Jarvis at number five. And then what
did you submit for your crew name?
Speaker 10: Oh?
Speaker 14: I don't think I said.
Speaker 1: I said that when I was setting this up, so uh.
Speaker 14: I'm pretty sure he put Barry in the Cruise.
Speaker 1: What Barry and the Cruise?
Speaker 14: Yeah, I c r E W S Yeah, c r
U I S it's c R W S. Yeah.
Speaker 9: Yeah. I like Barry and the Jets.
Speaker 1: But okay, uh, okay, and Captain Crash is written there, Okay,
Barry and the Cruise at number six. Master of Puppets
piloted by Captain Smile, Immigrant Song piloted by Teresa Hurley
the Crazy Train piloted by Joe Stark, and a very
interesting final entry at the tenth seed, the Angel of Death,
pilot by a strange name. It says, rah F.
Speaker 12: The names it is familiar.
Speaker 14: Oh uh, you know that's a better idea. Uh, I
got you. Yeah, No, Barry was thinking like I was thinking,
Huey knew Huey lewis in the news, and that was
the kind of pun there. But I like Velvet Elvis better.
I think that's that was that. He definitely would He's
obsessed with Elvid Elvis. Absolutely, that's what it is. We're
gonna wreckon that. That's just too damn good. Thank you.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 25: Uh.
Speaker 1: And you can see that the initial race meetup is
taking place at the radio diner.
Speaker 14: Oh yeah.
Speaker 1: And it says everyone grabs a seat. That's what the
message says. Are seeing this, that's up to you. Barry
has this message. Barry has the info about the race,
So I don't know what he shares.
Speaker 14: I mean I probably would have, you know, sent the
list in over to everybody for the sake of it.
And then uh all right, y'all already you're all ready
to race. I know I mentioned it before, but it's
kinda we got a meeting today in the radio. You
can don't get don't get sick, doc, I know the
foods they're tempting, but don't don't get sick right before
the race, please, Okay? But anyway, Yeah, we got to
meet up apparently. Uh so it's at the radio, y'all,
y'all want to do that? I can just go if
you don't want to.
Speaker 9: Is that where.
Speaker 14: Where we met?
Speaker 10: Heighten night averages and food?
Speaker 14: You know what they did actually have that? Yeah, that's right, specimen,
that's true.
Speaker 9: M I to go there, all right?
Speaker 14: Well, and any I got anything we're I mean, we're
we're at stepping Stone. Any any last man of things
you need to do before we you know, pop up.
Speaker 10: Stepping Stone.
Speaker 9: I'm not allowed.
Speaker 12: Perhaps we should discuss our roles for the race. We
are your crew? Yes? Is that correct?
Speaker 25: Her?
Speaker 14: Yeah? Yeah, I mean y'all, y'all are I mean, unless
you don't want to be here for it. I mean,
the pool is massive. If we win, we're gonna walk
away full of crid.
Speaker 12: You know that. I am here.
Speaker 3: You who have said that very many people buy at
this sort of thing.
Speaker 5: I absolutely want to call.
Speaker 9: All right, it all goes.
Speaker 10: If they destroyed or something, we could possibly scavenge it
for parts.
Speaker 14: Oh yeah, I mean theory. The problem is we don't
want to scavenge it while we're in the Rice on
account of we don't want to lose time.
Speaker 10: But idea m hm hm he Laura, I ask, can
me bioengineer? It depends tin creatures. It depends like the
one we threw on the capital ship. Oh but a
little bit more.
Speaker 5: Rugged, maybe a few hours mm hmm.
Speaker 10: Okay, let's cut it down to five.
Speaker 3: Okay, I think I'll have to repurpose one of the
ceremonial sacks.
Speaker 9: Perfect.
Speaker 10: But if we threw them out on our way, we
could use them.
Speaker 3: Hm, prepurpose them to ballistic devices mmmmmm, all the.
Speaker 5: Sacks that explode.
Speaker 10: Upon a little stream. I was thinking more of a cynic base.
Speaker 14: I mean, either way, that's fine.
Speaker 6: Uh.
Speaker 14: And you know code, here's the fun part. You can
kind of go ham Uh. You can let loose, you
can you can do what you like doing on other
ships that are around us. By the way, you can
shut down their systems. You can detonate missiles in their
base and do whatever the hell you want.
Speaker 10: Everyone heard this, right, notated and across the board. Witnesses
are all present.
Speaker 5: We don't put policy on excretions.
Speaker 14: Uh, their ship is fine. Let's keep the policy of
excretions the same as it was before. For the Molly.
Speaker 10: I'm working on prototypes as we speak.
Speaker 5: I have a few ideas.
Speaker 9: I have some around of smart glass coming in.
Speaker 10: I have no drone unfortunately, and the drone is not
repairable unfortunately. But yeah, I have an idea.
Speaker 14: All right, Bile means aidan you, I can throw stuff
and keep an eye out for you to you as well.
Speaker 7: I've got some pretty good ice sight.
Speaker 14: That'd be good. That'd be great actually, because then you know,
they because they can fire missiles at it's all they want.
So you being able to maybe grab those, you know,
so we don't have to worry about shields or hull.
That could be dang handy. Yeah, I think we've got
a pretty good shout at this. We'll have to watch
out for well Chos. He's a number one seed, so
there's that. And I'm kind of worried about that religious lady.
She's probably gonna Yeah, I'm a little worried about her.
I've gone against once and those with these these racers.
Are there images that go along with these racers or
is it just names?
Speaker 1: It's just their names, Okay.
Speaker 14: Just names, But I mean they're pretty most of these
are pretty well known. You could probably find images.
Speaker 10: I'm going to use a sub account that I have
on spacebook and under well ray and then find out
more information. I'm pretty sure these are they all human?
Speaker 1: Ah?
Speaker 14: Not sure? I know a couple like Choss's human, the
religious ladies human. The rest of them, I don't know.
Speaker 10: And I will see if they are on the spacebook
and find out their deep desires.
Speaker 14: I don't know how that's going to be relevant to
raising against them, but you know that's fine. I suppose
if you know they like chocolate ice cream, then maybe
you could tempt them with it, I guess.
Speaker 9: But we all have to meet at the ready.
Speaker 3: Gun.
Speaker 14: Yeah, let's let's get to the radio early.
Speaker 5: I mean we should. We should have tried to gather
information before we meet them. I see what you're doing.
That's so smart.
Speaker 7: Yeah, like a cold leoded racer.
Speaker 4: Are they really going to have any sort of information
on that on their spacebook?
Speaker 7: Don't know what it would have, like.
Speaker 4: A personal kind of front for everyone, you know, like.
Speaker 10: Oh my gosh, look at the wife and kids.
Speaker 9: Does he brag?
Speaker 14: Yeah yeah, spacebook Yeah yeah, he brags in quite a bit.
Speaker 9: Yeah.
Speaker 3: Also he has a point look for anyone who posts
very many pictures of their of their very plain life.
Speaker 14: Okay, yeah, I'm just not gonna move, I'm you know,
yeah yeah all right.
Speaker 1: Uh, don't have a lot of time to erase get
started though.
Speaker 14: No, we got to get to the radio. Let's go
and I'll get the molly moving toward it from leaving
stepping so station.
Speaker 9: I would like to hack spacebook.
Speaker 5: Ray, I have the spacebook hat.
Speaker 1: Okay, do you think this is not going to be good?
Speaker 10: But if I can find something good, this.
Speaker 5: Is very very good.
Speaker 9: But I can't help but.
Speaker 14: The space book.
Speaker 1: Okay, yeah, So who are you looking up first? Are
you going down to us? Okay?
Speaker 10: Chas and religious.
Speaker 1: Barbarian lady sister tyson of the Universal.
Speaker 5: Wow, she sounds hot.
Speaker 7: It's her name Mikayla.
Speaker 9: Break me.
Speaker 1: Okay, go ahead and make a hack roll. This is
probably controlled. Umm, and we're gonna say that this is uh,
you have one bonus die and this is the effect
will be standard. Oh uh sure I will help.
Speaker 3: By being extremely noisy and pointing over your shoulder and
feeding your toast.
Speaker 1: It's always super helpful. I take one stress, Yeah, get
another bonus die three bonus time.
Speaker 14: I crit to me, No no extra gambit for that.
Speaker 1: But okay, uh so Chos first, Chosa is Facebook.
Speaker 10: Spacebook is.
Speaker 1: Just I mean a ton of pictures. You know, if
you walk into somebody that's really competitives, like their home,
they have like a trophy room their Facebook. Their spacebook
looks like that. It looks like a trophy case, all
kinds of pictures, everything that you can imagine, tons of
race is one corporate sponsorships. You see them all over
the place, bragging about all this money, showing off all
kinds of bling, basically all these new paint jobs and
everything for various ships that he owns. Almost every kind
of racing ship you can imagine. Chos has one of
in like a couple different colors. You can see one
of them catches your eye. M there's one of them there,
maybe one of the pictures that's named Barry. Oh it's
a yellow painted ship.
Speaker 10: Oh notate it.
Speaker 9: Now? Is he like bragging about this? This is the one.
This is the ship that.
Speaker 10: I'm gonna win my my next big reason.
Speaker 1: You see a picture of the ship that he's bragging about,
and it's not that one. It is a different one.
It is probably a top of the line, like four
person crew, you know.
Speaker 14: Like.
Speaker 1: The fastest ship available at that It is about the
same size as Molly, but it is a racing ship.
It's not like a mining ship base.
Speaker 10: Awesome, Can I since I got a CRT, can I
spot some of the parts and link them to like
part numbers. What I want to do is get with
Casside is if she knows, if she knows the actual
parts to make it easier for me to possibly hack
a system.
Speaker 1: If not, as fine, that sounds like a flashback for later.
Speaker 10: Okay, ah, that was my analyst bullshit.
Speaker 1: Okay, And Sister Tyson of the Universalist Church has no Facebook,
however spacebook Sorry, it's okay. The Universalist Church does. And
I don't know if you've seen any kind of religious
stuff before as adult night, but it's the weirdest ship
you've ever seen in your life if it makes any sense, and.
Speaker 10: This sense.
Speaker 9: All on their knees.
Speaker 1: There's a repeated message that says the universe provides, and
there's a lot of contradictory information there. You do see
a picture of sister Tyson who looks she's got dark skinned,
she's she's very lean, and you can see that there
is uh, basically a lot of people that she appears
to be helping in this. In this photo you can
see like it is a I guess some kind of
like I would guess, a lot of homeless people that
she's sort of like helping. You can see her giving
out food to all of these people.
Speaker 10: Oh no, does a laurus see this?
Speaker 12: You god.
Speaker 1: Help?
Speaker 14: Seems like it.
Speaker 10: Turn away? There's something wrong with this organized food giving.
You can continue research.
Speaker 1: There's probably there's probably just like a bit of drool
that like hits the back of your neck.
Speaker 10: All right, I think we have I don't understand the
other one, but that's trust. I think we have some
good information. I run the berry.
Speaker 14: M hmmm, berry, Yeah what what? I'm like?
Speaker 10: What some important information? First of all, there's a ship
with a mullet painted on the side of it. Is
that what you call your there, dude? And it's called
very also?
Speaker 14: Sure, yeah, we'll go with that.
Speaker 10: I need Cassie whenever we can. I have found I
believe the ship that he's going to be racing. Okay,
a cart numbers, it might be easier for me. You
don't have to be later.
Speaker 9: We have to go.
Speaker 1: I know.
Speaker 14: That's why I'm flying the ship to the radio right now.
We're taking But yeah, you could probably get a communication
in with with casts now that we know she's at
her at her shop, So do that a little later,
I guess, all.
Speaker 10: Right, Well, yeah.
Speaker 5: Can you all bury the picture of the sister?
Speaker 9: Yes, mm hmm.
Speaker 5: What kind of food is this?
Speaker 9: Oh? I kind of.
Speaker 14: No, that's just like, I don't know, looks kind of
like bread, but more rolls, so they're easier.
Speaker 12: To I need to know the name name it.
Speaker 14: I don't know bread roll.
Speaker 10: Okay, it seems as interesting as a break.
Speaker 14: No, it's I guess it's not. It's just a small,
little little round bread. That's that's that's all it is.
There isn't a handout and you can portion him that way.
Why why is that?
Speaker 25: Is this?
Speaker 14: Is this something we need to know for the race?
Speaker 9: Is this how you in doctor me others?
Speaker 10: Because there's a lot of them.
Speaker 14: Actually, that's that's pretty much it. To be fair?
Speaker 5: Is that why a peace would not accept my bread.
Speaker 1: You know it's because now it's because he doesn't eat.
He doesn't have a he doesn't have a stomach or
five or.
Speaker 5: Any everything eats.
Speaker 1: He's he's synthetic. He's okay, all right, you know what. Yeah,
he eats electricity. That's that will go with that one.
Just don't do not try to feed him electricity. That
would be a very bad thing.
Speaker 5: I will ask first you.
Speaker 10: Would do such a thing? What if he put solar
panels on the back of.
Speaker 1: His Making your way to stepping stones to the radio
does not take too long. You can see the fuel
tanks there, see the signage there. As you set up landing,
get assigned a hanger, you can see helltale signs of
other racing ships landing in the other hangars. Wild paint jobs,
interesting looking models of ships, some that you recognize, some
that you don't.
Speaker 14: How big is Molly compared to the rest of them?
Speaker 1: Vary in size?
Speaker 14: Are some like mid size ships?
Speaker 1: Yeah, they're just differently shaped. Molly is a mining ship.
A lot of mass to Molly with very large engines
to cover the to cover the mass of the ship.
And there are yeah, there's probably no other mining ships.
Speaker 14: Yeah, that would be not surprising.
Speaker 1: Yeah, but you don't see all of them. You maybe
see one or two, like land in the hangars, and
we can say that you disembark as you make your
way into the radio. As you make your way inside,
you can see several people seated all about. There are
several faces that you recognize and several that you don't. Bury.
Speaker 14: Who are the ones I recognize if you don't mind.
Speaker 1: Yeah, some crew members that maybe have sort of switched
who their captain is here and there. You know, sometimes
they switch to different ships if things aren't working out,
or if the money is not good enough, et cetera.
You know, it's risky business out here on these races.
And you also see that there appears to be a
crew of Tight Knights that are set down.
Speaker 14: Uh did we see a tight night ship or one
of the half outside all that's got it?
Speaker 3: As we're walking in, Tim Harten to you.
Speaker 14: Tim Harten to you, we're not in. You know, in
their mind it's fine.
Speaker 4: If if we uh look over the Titan Nights, does
anything stand out about them?
Speaker 14: Uh?
Speaker 1: Yeah, they don't look like like Code of Vertigo. They
they have much much darker pigment to their skin. The
there's they're they're shaped a little bit like they're a
little bit leaner than both of them are, like in
and a little bit taller. Code you would recognize, although
I don't think that you would vertigo some distinguishing features
from some of the deep dwellers.
Speaker 9: Mm hmm.
Speaker 1: You have never seen one off of Titan.
Speaker 23: Mm hmm.
Speaker 9: Yeah, that's a bit worrying.
Speaker 1: Oh, I have larger they have larger eyes, and all
of them are where ring protective eyewear.
Speaker 5: Night here.
Speaker 10: Oh I lean over uh to Laura and in the
Titan language, Uh, let her know, like I've never seen
them offside of Titan, and that's worrying. Remember what the
elders were always saying, I.
Speaker 3: Touched your arm and lower my voice.
Speaker 10: Yeah, oh yeah, so we're communicating in the way. Yeah, okay,
so remember that what the elders have said. We have
to keep our eyes on them. I do not warn
any others. We don't need them worrying. M hmm. Deep
toilers they're more final. Why are they here?
Speaker 5: Berry?
Speaker 3: Can you help me find the menu?
Speaker 14: Yeah, they're at the tailor. There's an empty booth here,
and I go to the empty booth. There's probably the
menus already out. I'm guessing it's one of those diners
that just has them in like the little like napkin rack.
Speaker 25: Yeah.
Speaker 1: Absolutely, and yeah. You can see you sit at the
table sort of behind sister Tyson who's looking at you,
and she she looks at you pass by, she sort
of furs her brow for a second.
Speaker 14: I wave and smile.
Speaker 10: My lips.
Speaker 14: Hi, there's this, and keep walking to sit unless she
says something.
Speaker 1: She she kind of like looks around for a moment
and takes note of each of you that passes by,
and I think you hear her whisper maybe to one
of the others at her table. Barry isn't part of
Justic's crew.
Speaker 9: Stop in front of her and have my hands out.
Speaker 1: What are you doing?
Speaker 5: I come back, and I joined Edra.
Speaker 14: No, no, come on, come on YouTube. We're sitting down. Sorry,
sorry sis, No, you two come on, And I kind
of dragged them a little over. I don't worry about him. No,
that's not the time. We're getting you food now. Remember, yes, free,
is it better?
Speaker 25: Is?
Speaker 10: According to you?
Speaker 14: You're correct, but it's different when it's free. You're right.
The context right now, it's not in place okay, and
kind of chuckle and sit down and kind of motion
to eaten in piece. If they're still standing around staring
or if they're falling, I don't know.
Speaker 1: You get the impression as well, Barry, that there are
no other regular customers here. It appears that everybody that
is sitting down at the tables, they have that sort
of nervous energy that you associate with the beginning of
a race. Everybody looks like they're trying to get themselves
a bit hyped up. You know, legs are tapping, you know,
the feet are tapping like on the ground, those nervous
knees bouncing up and down underneath the table. People probably
drinking too much coffee. And you can see you do
not see Doris here, and you see maybe a few
servers that you've never seen before walking around. There's one
person behind the counter, and you can hear like the
sounds of the grill in the back working in the
normal smells making their way to the front of the
front of the diner. As each of you sit down
and you have your menus, you get another notification on
your communicator, Barry. You see some more information for the race,
and it says.
Speaker 26: There are three clues for today's race. Each clue provides
coordinates to the next one, as well as a clue
about how to get your token. You must solve a
puzzle at each clue station, or obtain the clue token
from other competitors or steal them in other ways. Anything
goes after the first clue racers, but you must have
a token from each clupe station to complete the race
and return to the start. Guess where the start is.
Your first clue drops. Now your favorite server might have
an idea about this clue, but she's.
Speaker 23: Not working today.
Speaker 14: Well, and I send that off to her by time
to go, and I just kind of stand up. Sorry,
We'll get to flavor breaks.
Speaker 1: And you see you notice the other racers are like
wildly talking in their booths. Nobody's gotten up.
Speaker 14: Stand up is working?
Speaker 10: What if we go ahead and contaminate? Do you have
a specimen?
Speaker 5: Should I disintegrate everyone?
Speaker 6: Now?
Speaker 13: Since I'm an Android and I probably have certain devices
that will record, can you tell me that clue again please?
Speaker 14: I would send this over to the to my crew.
By the way, I would just be hording it, says.
Speaker 12: I'm just making an excuse for not writing it down.
Speaker 1: Your favorite server might have an idea about this clue,
but she's not working today.
Speaker 5: Do we know where she lives?
Speaker 10: I should have looked on spacebook on.
Speaker 14: Her name and uh, well, yes, they could be one
of us.
Speaker 13: They could be referring to computer servers, that is very possible.
Speaker 14: Or her schedule looking at the employee schedule for today,
any other ideas we could We could do a lot
of this.
Speaker 4: Shift, didn't Did she have like, oh we first her?
Speaker 1: Who is the best at study in the group? Yeah, yo,
pants down, Okay, you can make a role here.
Speaker 7: Eden position.
Speaker 1: Risky in fact, this standard four four four.
Speaker 12: Okay, success with the consequences.
Speaker 1: All the other competitors are kind of looking around wildly
at each other.
Speaker 5: I have no idea.
Speaker 14: Yeah you know what, Hey, hold on, let me and
I just kind of I kind of do one of
the like the the waving for a server motion and
hold my coffee cup up.
Speaker 1: It's at this point that you notice Choss getting up. Yeah,
and he says, I didn't think you'd have the guts
to show Barry. Are you saying I put on white?
It gives you an appraising look.
Speaker 14: Kind of grin at him.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, I am enough to slow you down. Yeah, yeah,
it's too bad you don't have your best pilot with you.
My best pilot was always me.
Speaker 14: Yeah, yeah, that's you know, that's right. You did say
that a lot. It's too bad that you you haven't
won mirror as much since I ain't in your crew anymore.
That's odd.
Speaker 1: Any he starts walking over to you and uh, Eden,
you think you'd notice something out of the corner of
your eye, but you missed it.
Speaker 4: On them or if I'm looking at like, is it
in like a direction other than them?
Speaker 1: It's the area where Chass came from different table, you know, Barry,
I got myself a good crew this time, won a
lot of prizes since you've been gone. You made a
big mistake.
Speaker 14: Yeah yeah. Sometimes I wake up telling myself that, and
then other times I look at my ship that I
own with my family hunting crew here, and I'm pretty proud.
Speaker 1: That ship out there.
Speaker 14: Yeah yeah, you liked the Molly. I remember you enjoying
some nights on the Molly. Just saying do.
Speaker 5: You think that he's trying to distract us?
Speaker 10: I think, sounsibly, I saw something.
Speaker 5: I need to use the bathroom.
Speaker 9: My bladders are leaking.
Speaker 5: Well, you're leaking all over the seat.
Speaker 1: There were these people, Barrier. Is this your new crew?
Speaker 14: Oh?
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, they're they're pretty great. I'm uh, I'm pretty
appreciative of them.
Speaker 14: Uh, you're trying to remember.
Speaker 12: I'm sure you remember me. I certainly remember you.
Speaker 1: Yeah, piece, it's good to see you.
Speaker 22: I wish I could say the same. You upset my
best friend.
Speaker 1: Your best friend upset me?
Speaker 14: Are we are we back in high school? What's happening here?
Speaker 1: Did you did you get a little just get a
little upset in the last couple of months, I swore,
did you not? You didn't win that last race?
Speaker 25: Right?
Speaker 14: Is that? Is that the brick the chip on the
shoulder kind of kind.
Speaker 1: Of came in in the top three? Berry?
Speaker 14: Yeah, I didn't. I swore. You said, it's losing if
you ain't winning.
Speaker 1: I still made plenty of money with my sponsorships.
Speaker 6: Bury.
Speaker 14: Yeah, that sounds like a lot of sounds like a
lot of excuses for losing. I'm trying to.
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, I can. You can definitely try.
Speaker 14: I'm I'm attempting to distract with like swaying, I'm trying
to hold his attention.
Speaker 1: Well, this would be you would be helping. Okay, if
you want to.
Speaker 14: Do that, I'm happy to help. I was trying to
do that in general. But but yeah, I'm absolutely willing
to help. I'll have to stress to give you a die.
Speaker 10: Away and try to see what his crew is up to,
especially if they have any like screens going or any
like anything.
Speaker 1: Go ahead and make a skull roll. You have a
bonus die uh position risky. The effect will be standard.
Speaker 6: Six.
Speaker 1: Okay, Yeah, you managed to kind of slip away as
everybody's talking to Choss all at once. And as you do,
you see the rest of Chous's crew, or at least
you estimate them to be rushing out the front door
of the diner. Jos says, you know, a berry I'll
be seeing year round, you know, maybe a few hours
after the race is done.
Speaker 14: Yeah, it'll be real tough when you do see me
after I've been waiting for you with the finish line,
Bye bye bye.
Speaker 1: You should probably get that ship name changed. Seems like
you're holding on to the path there, Bud, go ahead
and make a sway roll or actually this might be command.
I don't know, yep, I think it's command. You're trying
to intimidate him.
Speaker 14: Yeah, that's fair. I got one die in that, but
I ain't pushing myself anything right now?
Speaker 8: All right?
Speaker 14: Position?
Speaker 1: Uh, position is risky. The effect is limited limited.
Speaker 14: Can I get an extra die for knowing that he
has a ship named after me? Thanks to code?
Speaker 1: Definitely? All right?
Speaker 14: What six?
Speaker 1: As everybody like rushes out the front door, you see
a few other people beginning to get up code as
they do. There's the way that the diners positioned the
you enter in if you look at the front counter. Okay,
you enter the diner in from the right side. It's
on the right side there you walk in, and then
on the left side of the counter, there is a
small room that is there. You as you get up,
you see a few of the other tables making their
way into that side room, and you begin to follow them.
You see them interacting with some kind of device on
the wall. You see that, You see that is there.
A few of them are sort of shoving each other,
trying to push each other out of the way as
they are interfacing with this device.
Speaker 9: How many are there?
Speaker 1: Three?
Speaker 12: Wait?
Speaker 9: Is a Laura with me?
Speaker 17: So?
Speaker 9: She says she was coming with her?
Speaker 10: No at the table, Okay, I would like, are they
they're all human?
Speaker 1: Yes?
Speaker 10: Okay, I would like to cut my arms around.
Speaker 9: Did they have any well exposed skin?
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, they're they'd be wearing space suits, but they're
they would have their helmets off, I think.
Speaker 10: Okay, yeah, I would like to kind of put my
arms around two of them and touch both their temples
and use the way.
Speaker 1: Okay, okay, before that happens, I just kind of wanted
to describe what's going on here. So Code is doing that.
He's trying to screw with people's heads and see what's
going on with this device in the back there. And
then Barry Chust is kind of like stopped at the
at the front door. He looks over to you and
there's a moment of like recognition and his eyebrows raise,
and then he just rushes out the door.
Speaker 14: Just had to stall him a little bit. That was
the plan, give him a little disadvantage. All right, Oh
hy where did where Code go?
Speaker 1: Code?
Speaker 9: Yeah?
Speaker 1: I need you to attune please. Now you've got two
people that you're trying to use the way against at once.
This is not easy.
Speaker 10: I'm not hoping to succeed. I want to knock them out.
Speaker 1: Oh, it's still it's a success knocks them out. You
can't have it both ways here, but.
Speaker 14: I want them to have memories altered.
Speaker 12: Not chill.
Speaker 1: It's like asking. It's like asking somebody out by, like saying,
I'll make a bet with you. If I lose, I
gotta take you out to dinner. You know it's not Yeah, okay,
so you gotta tune and I'm gonna say you lose
a die on this because you're trying to affect two
people at once, and the position is myself. If that's
the case, well that's your choice. The position is not desperate.
I think this is still risky. The effect will be standard.
Speaker 10: Okay, I have one in the tunes. I'm pushing something
good to die? Is that is that it?
Speaker 6: Right?
Speaker 1: Sorry?
Speaker 14: Yeah?
Speaker 1: If I only have one neighborhood mystic.
Speaker 10: I mean I was given hints to come with anyway. Well, okay,
if you want to help, you can always do that.
Speaker 7: No, I don't know where you are.
Speaker 3: I'm currently taking the catshop and just drinking it.
Speaker 5: At the table.
Speaker 10: This is all happened simultaneously. Yeah, okay, Well and I
I yeah, all right, I'll push myself the ouch ouch.
Speaker 1: Okay to stress. You get a bonus diye for that.
Speaker 10: Okay, how about this. While I'm doing this, I'm going
to use my bullshit call mechanics heart. Since I'm doing
this and trying to alter and knock them out. When
you speak to your heart, speak from your heart, your
words can reach even the most and you gain a potency. U.
Speaker 1: I don't think this is gonna work.
Speaker 10: For this, Okay, that's right, all right? Position is risky.
Speaker 1: Yeah, all right, effect standard so it's even out. You
don't lose the die because you gained one, so no die.
Speaker 10: Yeah.
Speaker 8: Wow. Yeah.
Speaker 1: You try to you basically try and knock them both
out as you grab them by the way with as
you and you're just overwhelmed by all of these different
all of these different voices and emotions, and there's this
really strong nervous energy that's just kind of bombarding you.
You can feel your hearts like like beating way faster,
and the you're you're, you're you're getting like really like
overly amped up as this is happening. You hear all
different kinds of things in your head as this happens,
and you try to find a way to knock them out,
but you're just overwhelmed. I'm gonna say, you take one harm.
Speaker 10: How about a bunker down and know how important this
is and run the devil's bargain.
Speaker 1: Okay, you can definitely do a devil's bargain if you like.
We can make this one. We can we can make this,
we can make this a desperate position here I will
just you don't have to do this. I'm just offering
this to you here. If you take the devil's bargain,
I think.
Speaker 5: M level too harm.
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's too good, that's like too easy.
Speaker 3: Well, if that's what it takes, level too hard, we
get the cab.
Speaker 1: It not mean, it wouldn't it wouldn't be a level
too harm. It would just be too harm. I'm not
doing that. I'm going to say, if you fail the
desperate bargain, you will give them information.
Speaker 10: What information can I give them though the spacebo uh?
Speaker 1: I don't know. But make a choice either that you take,
you take what you get here. You just you you
failed on this, or you can try and just resist
the consequences and you just failed and you you know
you don't take the harm. I need a choice now, though,
all right, as much as I want to deep I've
I think of the crew and I'm like, this is
not what I'm supposed to do, and I'll just against
the consequences. Okay, is this the consequences? So that would
be the first category there, which is I think resolve insight? Yeah, insight.
Then it's whatever that first one is, because it just
matches with the or No, no, I'm sorry, it's not
the first one.
Speaker 14: It is the resolve.
Speaker 9: Yeah, yeah, okay, that's a rough one for you.
Speaker 12: Yeah.
Speaker 1: Well, just wow, you've got nothing in You've got one.
Speaker 9: I have one.
Speaker 12: I was working it.
Speaker 7: He's not a very social creature, you.
Speaker 10: Know my mind, don't.
Speaker 12: All right.
Speaker 10: Before?
Speaker 1: Okay, take true stress. You resist the consequences there. You
don't take the harm.
Speaker 14: It's bad.
Speaker 1: Yeah yeah, uh so, uh you don't take the harm.
And everybody's a little bit confused as to what just happened.
You see them like interfacing with the device, and they're
all sort of shoving each other. There's like a bit
of a melee happening here. Somebody threatens to take out
a blaster. Basically, you see somebody reaching for a blaster
and some punches and stuff get thrown. There's basically a
little melee that happens right in front of you. And
as this is happening, somebody grabs something from the machine
and just tries to brush right past you. What do
you do, Mary?
Speaker 14: Yeah?
Speaker 25: What?
Speaker 10: Sometimes you just gotta put a foot.
Speaker 23: That one just giving.
Speaker 10: Him a coatistic gets foot out on the trip if possible.
Speaker 1: Okay, so barrier tension is kind of drawn to code
for a second. Code, you let this person brush right
past you and they're making a bee line for the door.
They jump over the counter and basically push past whoever's
working there and try to to leap over the other
side right before the front door.
Speaker 10: Oh yeah, I would love to.
Speaker 14: I would just love to absolutely do kind of one
of those, like not a trip even, but just a
knee up into their gut as I try to run past,
basically close line their midsection.
Speaker 1: So I'm not trying to be difficult here, but your
table would not be near the front door.
Speaker 7: Oh but I have heard them talking.
Speaker 1: That I imagine this would be on berries. I would Yeah, that's.
Speaker 14: Okay.
Speaker 4: I'm going to use my kinetics to propel myself forward,
and I'm gonna take that as an opportunity to try
and gut punch this fella.
Speaker 14: Okay, okay, nice, all right, I'd probably be lifting up
my glass then to throw it and then see her
do that and be like okay, and just take a
sip of my coffee.
Speaker 4: So a tune for the kinetics, yes, okay.
Speaker 1: Position, Actually, what does your kinetics say?
Speaker 4: Says you can push yourself to do one of the
following use the way to throw a table sized object
with force or propel yourself briefly with superhuman speed.
Speaker 1: Yeah, so you absolutely will do that then, okay, Yeah,
so go ahead and making a tune roll the position
is risky, the effect will be standard.
Speaker 2: Walk up.
Speaker 14: And that's a gambit for us.
Speaker 1: Boom use that blasting off using like if you like
in almost any anime where somebody is rushing and they
have like a lot of power, you see them like
plant a foot and like like the concrete breaks, there's
like a little bit of the tile like where heating
foots down like just kind of breaks a little bit,
and just like this off, this person's like leaping over
the other side of the counter, like getting blasted, get
like slammed into the wall.
Speaker 13: It just kind of like I smagg a napkin that
has been blown off the table out of the air,
and I turned to Berry and.
Speaker 12: I dab, is you got a little something right there?
Speaker 14: I'll find mister cret.
Speaker 7: Can I grab the token or whatever?
Speaker 10: They had?
Speaker 1: Absolutely the token. It looks like it looks like, uh,
let me make this fun here. I imagine the radio
has some kind of like they have some kind of
like uh specialty. Uh, their logo it's on something. It's
like it looks like it looks like a like a
coin with their logo on it. And you guys don't
even really have coins, so this is like, hey, it's
just metal silver. It's like this metal round thing. What
is that? You know? And yeah, it's just it looks
like a subway token almost, but it's got the ready
Go logo on there?
Speaker 14: Is it a Does it go with a line through
the g Uh?
Speaker 17: Yeah?
Speaker 9: Sure?
Speaker 3: I like to think that as Eden is doing this
super awesome move. I take my empty ketchup bottle, I
go up to the counter.
Speaker 5: I put it down. You're out of ketchup. Also, I
have a question for you. Do you know where the
clue is?
Speaker 1: There's like people in the other room, like you see
somebody like in the background, like wailing on somebody on
the ground.
Speaker 14: It's that's the animea c with the chaos and just
one person standing casually.
Speaker 1: Yeah, people have all kind of like lost their ship, uh,
like in this side room, and you can see several
of the other crew like looking like there's a few
people that look like they want to draw blasters. And
there's just this like realization Barry that if anybody draws
a blaster in the radio, it's the worst possible thing
you could do.
Speaker 14: Oh yeah, no, Barry's hand has never been on his
gun here for this reason. Yeah, Doris will show up
to work today.
Speaker 1: And yeah, this person that's behind the counter, I don't
know anything. I don't know, I don't know anything.
Speaker 5: Can I have some more ketchup?
Speaker 6: Hi?
Speaker 1: Sure? Heyd put the slide the ketchup over the counter.
I look back, slipping the coin into my bra Okay,
oh yeah, all right, let's go, hi vertigo.
Speaker 14: No, no, no, no, put come on, I don't need you sick.
Speaker 9: You need to punch him hard.
Speaker 10: He's still waking up.
Speaker 14: No, let's let's go. We're going.
Speaker 6: Crow.
Speaker 1: Please make a study role for me.
Speaker 12: Okay, well, it's my position.
Speaker 1: Controlled. Okay, the effects will be standard.
Speaker 12: Okay, any boon says.
Speaker 22: No, yea four.
Speaker 1: The Tight Knights have not moved.
Speaker 12: Are they just sitting there calmly eating?
Speaker 5: No?
Speaker 12: Or what are they doing? Are they discussing something earth?
Speaker 1: They seem to be observing. There's no conversation that's happening there.
They seem to be watching everything.
Speaker 13: Oh okay, and and they're seemingly in no hurry.
Speaker 12: They're not like.
Speaker 13: Nope, they just just seem like they're having a calm
dead at the restaurant.
Speaker 1: Okay, you've got the token in your bra there, Eden,
what's everybody doing?
Speaker 12: I nudge berry or all right?
Speaker 22: The table of Tight Knights, I'm assuming they're racers.
Speaker 14: Yeah, yeah, that sounds about ' rat. What are they
know they're doing? Yeah, they ain't getting ready to race.
Speaker 6: They are.
Speaker 13: So confident in their abilities that they don't need to rush,
or they know something that we do not.
Speaker 14: Yeah yeah, hey yah a code m kind of most
of you guys, you've like probably walked from that backward them.
Speaker 10: Out towards you.
Speaker 14: Ah, are you able to Titanite's able to get thoughts
information without touching anybody?
Speaker 10: Well, there are different species that have different abilities, I
guess you're speaking about. I don't make eye contact them.
Speaker 14: Yeah, yeah, yeah, because they ain't. They ain't rushing. There's
this acting and all confident lack like there's no issue whatsoever?
Do they would they have been able to say no,
where to go next without having to rush?
Speaker 10: Because did you notice what they're paying attention to? Or no?
Speaker 14: No, I didn't notice them at all, and I motioned
to uh piece piece actually figured it out.
Speaker 12: Every other racer rushed out of here, and.
Speaker 1: They more of the muras.
Speaker 10: They should leave or stay? After that marvelous display of speed.
Were they intrigued by Eden or did they look in
her direction? Or did they just stay visually watching everything
surround us?
Speaker 1: You didn't see them peace? Did Yeah? You would have you?
I think you that's maybe when you noticed that they
weren't doing anything. They just weren't. They just seemingly didn't
really react.
Speaker 12: And I have the distinct depression that this is a
race team.
Speaker 1: Yes, okay, they are wearing like they are wearing spacesuits.
You can see that they are. They all have like
eye protection on.
Speaker 10: We should leave. I was playing more in a ship.
Speaker 14: You go, now, all right, I'll trust you on this one.
Speaker 1: Let's just uh yeah, all right, all right, ready to go.
Speaker 7: I'm going towards the ship.
Speaker 10: Yeah, how far is eating away from the group.
Speaker 1: Up to you?
Speaker 4: Uh well, I would have grabbed the coin and I
would have started making my way for the door.
Speaker 1: Okay, yeah, I mean the door and came back to
the door in the counters, you know, six seven.
Speaker 4: I'm not trying to get bamboozled and like jumped on
and by going backwards.
Speaker 13: I'm going to like, would you have said, like did
you just like grab the coin and leave and not
tell us?
Speaker 4: Well, you guys saw me putting it into my brawn.
I made eye contact with Barry.
Speaker 14: Okay, yeah, yeah, she she gave me a signal that
like she's good.
Speaker 7: Otherwise I would have kept running.
Speaker 9: Yeah.
Speaker 10: I grabbed Laura by the hand and uh run, slap
the ketch up out.
Speaker 12: Of it, and then run.
Speaker 1: Like five bottles of catch up that this catch up
on the.
Speaker 9: Way like trying to catch up to eat in.
Speaker 10: And as we walk by, I mean, I'm guessing we
walk by the tight Knights.
Speaker 14: I think we did walk past them on our way in,
didn't we? Are they across this the room?
Speaker 1: So you were next to sister Tyson, the Tight Knights
would have been like two tables away further in.
Speaker 10: Okay, so they're not by the door. Okay, yeah, yeah,
well I would l Laura and catch up to Eden
as fast as I can.
Speaker 12: Are they looking at us, like are they clocking us?
Speaker 1: Or they just can't tell. They're wearing eye protections, so
I don't think you can see. Okay, Okay, they are
observing all of the stuff that's happening. So it's very possible.
I suppose, okay, with.
Speaker 12: A four.
Speaker 13: Based on like our last you know, uh last few weeks,
they might have been like a hit squad or something
like disguise.
Speaker 12: Racers.
Speaker 10: Before I leave the radio, I'll dip my head back in,
grab a ketchup off of the table, and then and
then walk out.
Speaker 1: At you go, And that's where we're gonna take our
break as the first clue of the race has been discovered,
and totally not because of our group, but because of
other people that they scam to token off of, which
is part of the race. And Barry you'd know.
Speaker 14: That, Oh yeah, that's why Barry was absolutely like so frilled.
Speaker 1: That is why everybody was looking at each other. They're like,
who figured it out who figured it out, and they're
gonna they're trying to see who they who they can
swipe a token from. And yeah, after that first clue, Barry,
things can get pretty crazy, so we'll have to see
what's gonna happen. We're gonna take a little bit of
a break here, folks. If you have not done so,
please make sure you're following all these wonderful people. Head
on over to tablestory dot tv slash one hundred Club

Speaker 14: All right, Aiden, and I'm starting to spool up the
dungeons already. Yeah, come well, see if I'm in the
did you follow me in the helm behind me, trying
to talk, talking to myself.
Speaker 4: I make my way in and I'm digging the coin
out of my bra.
Speaker 14: Oh yeah, yeah, here it is.
Speaker 7: I put it really bar in there so they couldn't
get it.
Speaker 13: I sit in the co pilot seat and start spinning
up the engines.
Speaker 14: Perfect crew, we're about to take off. Buckle up because
this is gonna be probably a bumpy rad I have
secured the pussy always, Thank.
Speaker 8: You for that.
Speaker 23: I am.
Speaker 14: I take the token, I plug it in.
Speaker 8: Hey, cod do you want to do something real quick
before we leave? Mm hmm.
Speaker 14: If there are any ships left in the hangar, you
want to fuck with them? Yes, all right, get it
done now because we're about to take off. You got
thirty seconds.
Speaker 23: But is this the same as what I heard in
your videos? Or is it?
Speaker 14: No?
Speaker 8: No, no, no, no damn it.
Speaker 1: Hack them, Hack the ships that are still in the
hangar and stop.
Speaker 14: The them from doing shit. You should have said, so,
you got thirty seconds.
Speaker 3: Now?
Speaker 12: Is this hanger? Is the parking at the radio? Is it?
Is it laid out in such a way that I
can see other ships? Or they are? Are we all
in our individual little things.
Speaker 1: So you would you would have individual hangers and uh,
normally that is the case. However, because there's a lot
of ships of similar size, some of the larger hangars
might have been repurposed into holding multiple ships. Let's see
if you guys are with another ship or not. You
are you're in one of the larger hangars.
Speaker 12: Is it of titanite design?
Speaker 1: Another good question.
Speaker 14: We know there weren't organic ships already, but.
Speaker 1: It would not Yeah, it would not be. Okay, there's
one of their ship here.
Speaker 23: I must we could please.
Speaker 10: To go the left doors underneath typical of Johnice while
I add.
Speaker 23: Him the pack.
Speaker 17: Probat range juice.
Speaker 14: All right, all right, all right, I open up Jarndice
and kind of just like.
Speaker 9: There's my.
Speaker 12: Fucking opportunity.
Speaker 14: Yeah grab.
Speaker 12: Oh yes, please open the jice at.
Speaker 14: I've got the stick that I used to poke jndice.
Speaker 1: Yeah yeah, all right, all right, I'm poking.
Speaker 8: Get going codd Okay.
Speaker 5: I think it's so mighty.
Speaker 14: Yeah, I'm aware.
Speaker 12: Every time you open that hatshirt looks excited to see you.
Speaker 14: Yeah, And I don't like that.
Speaker 23: And speak control.
Speaker 1: I'm sorry, what was that?
Speaker 6: Uh?
Speaker 23: They wanted me to hack the ships? I don't know
how far it's going to reach. As why as why
we're poking John is so.
Speaker 1: Position Uh, we'll say, uh, this is risky.
Speaker 8: M hm.
Speaker 1: The effect will be limited.
Speaker 23: Mm hmm.
Speaker 1: Now what is your special BS that you were talking
about earlier.
Speaker 26: It's just mechanic's heart is uh, I I mean I
wanta streat it?
Speaker 1: Okay, yeah, no, I see it.
Speaker 10: Yeah, it's not apply speaks to someone.
Speaker 1: Yeah. Uh yeah. Unfortunately, Uh, nothing else I'll say, I'll
say you have one bonus die mhm. The effect will
be Yeah, I said it was limited, right, position Yeah,
position is uh, position is risky. Effect is limited. Okay,
So the ship has not been fully booted yet. The
computers are still like powering up, so you only have
limited access as to what you can hack. You can
hack the airlock.
Speaker 26: Okay, well, I crash, I don't do really well, I'm
just gonna let you know, normally have somewhere rubbing my shoulders.
Speaker 8: That's fine. Whatever you can do, you do it.
Speaker 23: Okay, air locks are screened.
Speaker 8: Oh that's fantastic, well done.
Speaker 23: It's okay.
Speaker 1: You can maybe see a few people outside any of
the viewports on that side facing the ship. There's a
few people that look like they're trying to like they're
like banging on the air lock. Maybe part of the
crew has been like trapped outside.
Speaker 14: Nice And then I pop in what okay, I guess
I plug in the the little data stick that was
given to me by Eden. I'd like to see what
it says.
Speaker 1: The token is plugged in, and immediately you can see
several coornets come up on the streen, as well as
your next clue, and.
Speaker 14: I'd pipe it through the speakers. They're the comms.
Speaker 1: It says three letters won't stop you from getting a
closer look, but the other racers might, so you'd better
prepare for the worst and use your best acts.
Speaker 14: God I'm terrible at these.
Speaker 22: Use your best acts is spelled ax.
Speaker 13: Yes, okay, okay, one more time.
Speaker 1: It's in the end discord.
Speaker 12: Oh thank you?
Speaker 14: All right, I don't get that, but I got coordinates
and I'm gonna start heading that direction regardless of while
y'all figure this out. Ain't my forte and uh yeah,
I pop in those coordinates that we're on the token
and start heading out direction.
Speaker 1: Okay, Barry, give me a helm er all yes, and.
Speaker 14: Part of my loadout I brought along with me maps
and charts. Would that help me in any way?
Speaker 1: Yeah? Absolutely, I don't want to say that it doesn't.
I mean you went ahead and specifically set this up
in your load out. By the way, very important. If
you have not set your load out yet, please do.
Speaker 14: Yes, I figured for race maps and charts might be great.
If I don't know our car our nav system goes
down again for any reason whatsoever, like me punching it.
Speaker 1: A few things that you all would have noticed. First
of all, all of the racers were wearing space suits.
Speaker 14: Okay, I've got mine.
Speaker 1: Yeah, all of them were wearing space suits, and Barry
would have communicated with you there. There is most likely
a part of the race where you might have to
land or do some other ship almost anything. So just
be aware.
Speaker 14: Aaron's got a suit and his armor.
Speaker 23: On question, I lost my rig and my throne.
Speaker 1: Right, wow, what is the question are you asking me
if you lost those things?
Speaker 23: I was hoping that.
Speaker 10: You know, my mechanic's heart can sway. Okay, so space
suit you would have.
Speaker 1: So you technically you would have gotten stuff back. You
would have gotten that stuff back. The the whatever you
can make a role for a new one for a
new a new drone. But you would have a new
rig because you get all that stuff back after after
the mission. And uh, it's just the ship that needs
to be repaired.
Speaker 10: How about this, Since I created a smart glass that
replaced it, but I will make a new hacking rig.
Speaker 1: I think it makes more sense to make the smart
glass replace the rig, wouldn't you think?
Speaker 9: Okay, ye, let's do that.
Speaker 14: And we have crew quality now, which you have to
roll for your rig. Well I remember that last time,
or smart glass or the drone the drone?
Speaker 10: I mean, yeah, I need to roll for the drone.
Speaker 1: Yeah, so roll the from the Molly's page and go ahead,
and uh roll the crew quality. Just hover over the
textra crew there near the top left.
Speaker 10: And it determines how who my drone is?
Speaker 15: All right, don't do me dirty berry.
Speaker 1: Did you find it? Uh, it's no, it's on the molly.
Are you waiting for Barry to roll it? Thought?
Speaker 9: I thought he had the molly thing?
Speaker 10: Well you all had them too, Yeah, I didn't know that,
my bad. Oh yeah, okay, And let's see.
Speaker 14: Just the word crew in the upper left under color
and look.
Speaker 9: Oh that one with one tick on it? Yeah, did
I roll?
Speaker 14: No, Yeah, you gotta click the crew any bonus dying?
Speaker 1: Yeah, got another amazing drone.
Speaker 14: Last time it is you got Okay? I thought there
were minuses because we had a lower crew last time
got it.
Speaker 1: I think he did. I think he rolled insanely well
on that first one credit it was max yeah yeah,
because it was yeah, yeah, okay, another insanely good drone.
This is the basically best drone you can get. All right,
So Barry, you need a helm roll from you. You
get bonus done because there's your maps and charts and whatnot.
Alrighty position, position is risky, the effect is standard.
Speaker 14: Okay, just more things. This probably would not be considered
a speed related role, would it.
Speaker 1: It's definitely a speed related role.
Speaker 14: Oh well, then then I gained potency, so it would
be a great effect. Okay, all right, and the bonus
for the charts, here we go five five four five
all right, lawyer.
Speaker 1: Number uh so, Uhry. The molly lurches forward as you
all have that moment for the inertia compensators to take over,
and you feel that like lurch as you move forward
and you take off, you begin to head out here. However,
it appears that you are not alone, Barry. You see
another ship taking off from one of the hangers as well.
Is that the one we messed with the airlock of
it looks like a different one.
Speaker 8: Yeah.
Speaker 1: Yeah. On your we'll say that it is probably like
on your sensors is where you'd notice it just because
of the position of your viewport, so you don't see it. Yeah,
and yeah, it just appears like it's from one of
the other hangers. You see it taking off at like
the same time as your ship. Hmmm, Hi, I want.
Speaker 8: To start this off with a bang.
Speaker 14: Yes, where they are in a relative position, like behind us,
to the port side, starboard.
Speaker 1: Side straight Yeah, we'll use the clock face. We'll say
that it is probably about seven o'clock okay, Okay, is
our airlock on the porter starboard side right or left?
It actually kind of underneath the ship okay, Oh, okay,
kind of like it's a ye, got it, got it.
Speaker 13: As far as these coordinates go, i'd be checking like
what is the nearest planet that we be heading towards.
Speaker 1: Okay. As you start to uh plan this out, you
you can actually tell that these coordinates are in the
asteroid belt. Okay, So I won't even make you do
a role for it. These are coordinates that are specifically
indicated to tell you, hey, the next clue is going
to be this way.
Speaker 13: Let me ask you this, Yep, in this race, are
we going to be using jump gates?
Speaker 1: Then, Barry?
Speaker 14: Probably not, since there's always a line and that would
affect like civilians, wouldn't it.
Speaker 13: No, I'm just wondering, like they shut down the streets
for races in Italy and stuff.
Speaker 1: Yeah, this one is like widely televised, but it's not exactly.
Speaker 14: It's not legal gray area.
Speaker 1: It's in that like, hey, listen, we're going to try
and keep the race generally in areas where we can
be a little frivolous with the law. Okay, so it's
not like okay, but Barry's been in a lot of
weird races. This is true.
Speaker 14: It's probably when I went through a gate even though
I didn't need to to try to get ahead. Okay,
all right, well you.
Speaker 8: Mind if I test out some new equipment.
Speaker 14: What was that pace?
Speaker 12: Is he asking us no time? Like the president?
Speaker 3: Sir?
Speaker 14: No, I ain't asking. I'm just telling y'all. Uh, the
doc will save your sex for for another encounter.
Speaker 8: How about that?
Speaker 1: Okay, beauty, all right, and I would love to uh
charge up and fire the particle cannons at at our
new friend, our little tailor. Sure, Barry, what are your
Let me just check on something please, yeah huh uh.
Speaker 14: Huh okay, I get a plus one for firing ship
guns just across the board.
Speaker 1: Huh okay, sure this would be a helmeroll yeah alrighty.
Speaker 14: Position uh risky okay, effect standard Okay, and my my
aim is there the port side engine. I just want
to make it so they can't turn left, okay, or
they're constantly turning left, I should put it. Uh alrighty,
that's a success.
Speaker 1: Okay, that is a six.
Speaker 9: Barry.
Speaker 1: You begin to pub basically power up this very nasty
particle cannon, and you all can maybe see there's like
little sparks and things that go off through the ship
here and there as the weapon begins to power up,
and you can feel this like vibration as the particle
cannons begin to warm up, and suddenly the ship kind
of shakes a little bit and there's this like sound
it's very muffled as a bright light flashes for anybody
that is near a viewport. You see this bright like
teel blue sort of light flash through the viewport and
Barry fires and it looks like he connects with the
engines of this ship. And you see this like explosion
and debris starts to rain down very Yeah, you hit
this ship really well. Yeah, congratulations, thank you. The shrapnel
from the ship is raining down onto the hangars of
the radio hanger.
Speaker 14: That sounds like a consequence, not a success. Can I
roll or resist that consequence?
Speaker 1: You can absolutely try. Yeah, yeah, I think I will, because.
Speaker 14: Right next to it, Ye.
Speaker 1: I will. I will suggest Now, normally this would be
attached to a partial success or a failure. However, you
did it right as the ship was coming out of
the hangar, and you know, I really I'm so sorry.
You can definitely try and resist the consequence stuff you'd
like to.
Speaker 14: Yeah, yeah, I think I will. H You know what's
neat when you roll to resist the consequences of piloting again?
Speaker 1: Die excellent? All right, go ahead and make a prowess roll.
Speaker 14: All right, I take a streuss.
Speaker 1: Okay, there's like a few little like warning lights going
off in the back of your head. They're very like doors.
Speaker 12: Shit.
Speaker 1: Yeah, there's a reason nobody was firing any weapons so far.
Speaker 23: As as blaster, the.
Speaker 12: Fire is.
Speaker 1: Uh and Molly takes off. You launch forward as you
have fired the cannon, slowing this ship down. You begin
to head towards the next object of the clue.
Speaker 4: Now, now what I do want to make sure that
I am paying attention.
Speaker 7: So Barry, where do.
Speaker 14: You want me to be looking? Wow, let me see
if I can. I know we have that projector that
kind of hollow projector in the mess hall. Can I
have that display our general sensor like readouts like patch
it over there?
Speaker 1: Yeah you can. I imagine though that you don't have
really much control of stuff there, but like you can
definitely see it.
Speaker 14: Yeah, Well, if you want, you can stay down here.
It's a little cramped, but we don't got any more seats,
so there's risk. Or you could go to the mess
hall and see with the sensors there, I can patch
it through. See you have an idea of what those
s there's are doing. And then you could go to
the portholes as you need to see you can get visuals.
It's up to you.
Speaker 4: And are there any portholes like next to the mess
hall that can be viewed from the middle, I would imagine,
so yah, all right, I'll go to the mess hall.
Speaker 14: All right, then that way, if you need anything from
code or DOC you can work with them.
Speaker 10: You got it, okay?
Speaker 13: All right, Pace, I've been puzzling over this clue for
a while now and.
Speaker 12: I have leads, but nothing solid.
Speaker 14: All right, I'm hoping.
Speaker 9: Once we get closer.
Speaker 12: Yea, I will present itself.
Speaker 14: Right. It gave us coordinates and the clue, so that
might be part of it.
Speaker 8: Y'all.
Speaker 14: Keep your We're heading to asteroid bailt so if that
factors in it all and helping out with that clue,
there you go, but keep your eyes peeled.
Speaker 27: Did you tie talking to the token? Asking it for
the next clue? He says, use your best.
Speaker 8: Ask no axe? Acts, it's a it's a weapon.
Speaker 10: Acts.
Speaker 25: Did you trot? Do we have one? Can do? We
need to attack the token. We could be into like
a pick axe or something you know, like because it's
you going to the asteroid belt, right, people do mining.
Speaker 12: There are those of you who are unaware.
Speaker 13: An axe as an earth tool sharpened on one end
to chop down trees. Traditionally, also, an axe is another
term for a slang term for a guitar a musical instrument.
Speaker 12: I may not.
Speaker 14: I am Pip of the metal music through the ships speaker?
Speaker 8: Is that bothered? All right? Cool?
Speaker 27: Oh, it's probably the second one because I don't think
there's any trees in space.
Speaker 23: No, if there were trees, they'll probably end up like Earth.
Speaker 8: That's actually fair, okay, depressing, or we're heading that direction now.
Speaker 12: I did the.
Speaker 13: Uh precursory look on any three lettered celestial bodies. There
are a few moons, but none of which in the
direction we are heading, that have three lettered names.
Speaker 1: All right, all right?
Speaker 12: The obvious, the.
Speaker 13: Obvious seleshial body being the Sun, which has three letters.
Speaker 14: But I mean there's always I mean there's ice in
asteroids fields. That's three letters. I don't know if that fits.
Speaker 27: But I have an idea, what if we are not
supposed to visually see it, If we need to detect
something without seeing it, we should do sonar.
Speaker 14: I mean maybe it just says three letters won't stop
you from getting a closer look. So whatever this thing is,
we're we're able to see it or see through it
or something. It's just saying that racers might stop us
which is exactly what a prepare for the worst user
best acts. Best acts could just be be ready to
fight back.
Speaker 25: Gun is three letters?
Speaker 14: What's three letters?
Speaker 18: Gun?
Speaker 14: Gun? Well, yeah, that's true, but I don't have any
idea what that has to do with seeing something.
Speaker 13: Let's hold off on just naming three letter words. Yeah, yeah,
until we have a better idea.
Speaker 25: Right.
Speaker 14: If we follow someone, well, I mean we'll see we'll
see them when we get there, that's for sure. Be
ready because they might fire on us if we get
there later than them. Hence the racers stop.
Speaker 8: Anyway, Buckle up, I'm going to be trying to punch it.
Speaker 1: A little bit, Barry. You are entering the asteroid belt, now, perfect,
We're just going to be doing some casual rolling in
the background.
Speaker 14: Oh of course, of course, what do I see?
Speaker 1: Okay, so you see a lot of asteroids, a lot
of rocks floating there. Your sensors would also be indicating like, hey,
this is a particularly heavy area of the asteroid belt.
Trying to so you can do a few things with
your sensors. You can narrow the band that is sending
a pulse out for so you can kind of like
shape it like a cone. Otherwise it's normally three hundred
and sixty degrees. Okay, are you trying to aim the
sensors right now in a cone or are you trying
to keep it through.
Speaker 14: For the moment three sixty? Don't want someone sneaking up
on us. Yeah, I know it's not going to be
as like direct as one for that reason, but it'll
be three sixty for the moment. Also good for asteroids,
so we don't get clocked by one accidentally.
Speaker 1: All right, you gotta do a bunch of rolls here,
no worries.
Speaker 27: And if you need me to set off any explosive devices,
just let me know.
Speaker 8: Oh wow, we'll have them ready just in case. Okay,
and we'll prepare them now, right, very good?
Speaker 1: Hey, uh okay, Barry, you gotta do some evasive flying
to pilots through this asteroid belt. I need a helm roll.
Speaker 14: Please, alrighty, alrighty, alrighty. And if you let's see if
you're counting this as a speed related it will get potency. Yes,
this is a speed related role, all right, position risky
and then the effect including potency? Okay? Was it so?
Is it great now because of that?
Speaker 1: Or is it?
Speaker 14: Was it limited to standard.
Speaker 1: It would be great now, all right, okay, here we go,
all right, four three four.
Speaker 14: I am curious what the devil's bargain would be in
this case.
Speaker 1: Ay, devil's bargain in this case is, uh, if you fail,
you will take some damage, all.
Speaker 14: Right, right right, right right, unless I resist the consequence.
Speaker 1: Otherwise, shields are even in this one.
Speaker 14: Okay, Oh I see seals or debt. Yeah, I'm gonna
take that devil's bargain and if I fail, I'll do
my best to resist.
Speaker 1: Okay.
Speaker 14: It's probably like heading at an asteroid and then doing
a last minute like soup around it.
Speaker 1: Totally. It's like you dodged one and then like where
you have swerved to try and get out of the way,
your sensors have like a late ping that pops up
indicating like oh there's another one behind it, you know, yeah,
And you try to swing the ship around and.
Speaker 14: It's right there. Yeah.
Speaker 1: I rolled so well, by the way, I don't know
if I've ever rolled this well for anything. I cannot
believe I just rolled this.
Speaker 12: Well.
Speaker 14: Then devil's bargain. Here we go.
Speaker 1: I am so sorry.
Speaker 8: I will roll the.
Speaker 14: Resist consequences, because that's another parcel.
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, okay, yeah, we're olders as consequences because you
definitely make contact with this asteroid.
Speaker 14: Oh yeah, oh yeah, that's a prowess right there. Okay,
and that's a six, so I do not take any
stress for it.
Speaker 1: That's a good thing.
Speaker 14: Yeah.
Speaker 1: The shield beat this one. You all get rocked as
the ship is lurch is hard. You are thrown to
the left as the ship makes contact with an asteroid.
The shields like flicker for a hot second here, Barry,
there's like sparks that shoot up on the console all
around you, and you can see that like the shield.
The shield warnings are going off all over the place.
You're fine, You're fine, You're fine, You're still going, You're
still got the shields. Good.
Speaker 8: Look at that DEVI stop the momb don't do that. Please.
Speaker 1: There is a notification that also pops up.
Speaker 9: All right, what is that?
Speaker 8: Attention racers.
Speaker 18: The second token has been picked up already, and it
looks like we've got a bit of.
Speaker 8: A surprise happening.
Speaker 18: Captain Stark on the Crazy Train has picked up the
second token with it looks like Ace of Spades and
hello be thy name in close close position to pick
up their token.
Speaker 13: Are they Are they something that we could that we
would be able to pick up or just like look
out the window and see them.
Speaker 1: Or not yet, but it is very possible once you
get closer to this location.
Speaker 12: Okay, how close are we? Like, what's CTA on that?
Speaker 1: Well, Barry has slowed down just a little bit, but
you're probably gonna be there within the next couple of minutes.
Speaker 14: Okay, yeah, I get those Get those explosives ready just
in case. Maybe bring bring one of them by the
the air lock there, Doc, I will.
Speaker 25: Make them extra steaty.
Speaker 14: Yeah, and be careful if we have to take a
sharp turn. Please do not drop them.
Speaker 8: Please.
Speaker 1: Okay, I did not roll one failure for any of
the teams.
Speaker 14: Good God.
Speaker 25: To clarify, I'm keeping an eye on the visual that's
being provided in the mess hall, and I'm also bouncing
between looking at the viewport too to see if I
noticed anything.
Speaker 1: Yeah. Absolutely, give me a study roll here, please, Eden.
And since you have the sensors that you have kind
of monopolized, the ship is in that three hundred and
sixty degree range. If you had them the sensors pointed
in a cone, your range would be further in that direction,
but you've got them in three sixty, which is much
safer in the short term. So I'm gonna say you
have a bonus die on this.
Speaker 25: Okay, risky, that's pre controlled.
Speaker 1: This is risky, and the effect will be standard.
Speaker 25: I would like a devil's bargain.
Speaker 27: I think look spicy episode.
Speaker 1: All right, devil's bargain on a Scanal. Okay, if you fail,
you're going to pick up a lot more than you
bargained for.
Speaker 25: Okay, right, Ry, And it was one bonus die, right, yes, one.
Speaker 1: Bonus come on partial success. Okay.
Speaker 25: I don't have to resist anything too much.
Speaker 1: You could, you could if you'd like to resist the consequences. Okay,
are you going to just accept them? Are you? Are
you saying that you want to resist? Okay, No, that
would be this is whatever category study is. Okay, I
got two dice, got like five doctors. Very nice? Uh,
you are going to resist those consequences. You pick up
nothing on the scanners except for the asteroids, and you're
giving Barry a little bit of information.
Speaker 25: You got a couple coming up on the right. Just
be careful, all right?
Speaker 8: Thank you see them now?
Speaker 14: Perfect kind of like a slight lurch to get out
of their way.
Speaker 1: Okay, up ahead, Barry, you can see what appears to
be there appears to be a bunch of debris that
is not quite like any asteroid you're seeing, like what
looks to be some pieces of the hull and whatnot
eden you would be seeing now popping up on the sensors.
There is some kind of large and not that large.
Maybe it's it appears to be maybe one hundred meters wide,
some kind of metal thing up ahead.
Speaker 25: Uh, we got some big boy up ahead.
Speaker 14: All right, that's yeah, that's probablieve where we're supposed to go.
Speaker 12: You said it's a rect ship.
Speaker 1: Yeah, from what you can tell, it does appear to
be a w rec ship.
Speaker 14: Okay, is that where the coordinates are leading? Sorry? Sorry,
go for it. Okay, I'll be.
Speaker 13: Uh like scanning like news feeds and stuff like that for.
Speaker 12: Any any news of a wrecked ship out here. Uh,
if it's some newsworthy, I.
Speaker 1: Suppose absolutely go ahead and give me a steady wrong yeah,
uh position, I think it's still risky.
Speaker 12: Okay.
Speaker 1: Actually, you know what I'm gonna say, it's controlled. I
think it'd be controlled. The effect will be standard.
Speaker 13: Okay, bail three, Okay mets today.
Speaker 1: Yeah, well listen, nobody's throlling super Greade except for me. Apparently.
I can't believe it. I mean, I made nine roles,
I didn't fail one.
Speaker 12: Uh.
Speaker 1: The the news feeds don't seem to be helping you.
I don't think you can you. There's not a ton
of news about like any rex or anything that happen
in these asteroid belts unless it's yeah, unless it's like
somebody really important or like you know, some some kind
of very important ship or anything along those lines, nothing
really crops up. Okay, But there's a lot of ships
that crash in the asteroid belt, a lot of people
that like are miners or try and like start their
own business and stuff by using the asteroid belt because
there's a lot of availability here for people that want
to do that.
Speaker 12: New tack. I'm going to.
Speaker 13: Uh throw out a scan directly at it and whatever
like the I'm guessing we use like lasers or something
to bounce off and give us an image of it.
I'm going to extrap try to extrapolate, like a jigsaw puzzle,
what kind of a ship?
Speaker 25: It was?
Speaker 1: Awesome? Okay, let's see how do we think we can
You're going to do that? M I guess this is
probably another study role.
Speaker 13: What if it was a rig role because it's it's
a ship. Okay, it doesn't matter. I have a I
have to and study and and tune rig just for.
Speaker 12: A different role.
Speaker 13: I guess I put in my rudimentary engineering chip.
Speaker 12: For this for my load out.
Speaker 1: So it makes a very satisfying click.
Speaker 12: Okay, position same, same.
Speaker 1: It is controlled and the effect will be standard.
Speaker 28: Yes, okay, come on, Jesus Christ, I can't roll over three.
Speaker 1: Apparently it's right?
Speaker 14: Can you Devil's bargain from a controlled and it just
makes it risky? Yeah?
Speaker 1: Uh yeah it should because I think it just it
just increases, can knock it up until desperate.
Speaker 12: I mean I'd love to do that.
Speaker 1: Sure, Okay, So going and risky yea, let's see, well
we make this difficult. I'm gonna say that if you
fail a risky roll in this situation, uh you, you
will put something together and it's probably not going to
be right, gotcha. Okay, Hey there we go. Okay, uh
you you put this ship together and like like uh
one hundred club, uh like Lego one hundred club I.
Speaker 13: Imagine, I honestly imagine it a little like a little
Tony Stark, a little like, oh.
Speaker 1: Yeah, you put the ship together and you can see
that it appears to be a It appears to be
like a passenger cruiser, which is extremely strange for an
asteroid belt. Should not be here.
Speaker 12: Okay, is there any identifying marking on it?
Speaker 1: There is? This, says, he sees zero one five nine.
Speaker 12: PC zero one five nine.
Speaker 13: Okay, with that, and with that new information, can I
can I look that up to see if that's been
on the.
Speaker 1: Yeah, we'll count this basically as part of that. Uh, actually,
hold on, let's do some other stuff first, because this
is taking you a little while.
Speaker 25: Ado.
Speaker 13: We'll get I'm assuming this is all going on while yeah,
other stuff is happening.
Speaker 1: Well, well, we'll do that in a second. Uh so, Barry, yeah,
are you approaching the ship?
Speaker 14: Oh yeah, yeah, trying to keep like some distance, not
knowing what's you know, pop lurking around the corner, but
enough that we could get Let's see how how what
was the grapple hook range? Again? Is that one or
two hundred meters? I'm trying to remember from when we
were on Luna.
Speaker 1: I cannot remember what we said. I want to say
it was two hundred.
Speaker 14: I think it was two hundred because it was one
hundred meters was the range for his thing, and we
were trying to extend it that way.
Speaker 1: Yeah, you've got to counter basically to judge your distance
on the targeted object. You are within one kilometer right now.
Speaker 14: Okay, so i'd get within grapple range. It would be
the idea.
Speaker 13: Okay, sir, I may have an idea.
Speaker 1: The clue said.
Speaker 12: Three letters won't stop you from getting a closer.
Speaker 9: Look.
Speaker 12: Could those three letters be e v A. Maybe someone
has to go out there.
Speaker 14: That would track. But we also.
Speaker 13: Possible to to narrow the scanning down to a small
object like a token.
Speaker 14: Yeah, we could do that. We could we could cone
it up all right. Yeah that's a good point. Okay,
I eat it. Where are Yeah, I'm gonna be changing
the projection of the scan to a cone, especially on
this this little ship thing that's gone blowed up. See
if we can find something that sticks out, they'll leave
that to you. Look for a token or anything. The
three letters as a piece that might be e v
A overall as in going outside, but we might be
able to grapple it. If that's the case, and I
adjust the scanners.
Speaker 25: To special.
Speaker 14: To aim right at sure.
Speaker 1: Absolutely, what do your Titan eight eyes see? So as
you begin to point the scanner at this, I would like, uh,
let's see. I think this is going to be either
either eten or Barry and sir. If it were me
and this goes, this goes for you to eaten.
Speaker 13: If it were me and I was here first, I
think the other part of the clue, the other racers
might meaning I would leave traps for anyone else that
came behind me. So as a part of the scan
I would suggest.
Speaker 14: Like traps. Yeah. Uh. If it's a study roll like
before with her in the scanners, I will leave that
entirely to Eden.
Speaker 1: Uh okay, fine, fine one.
Speaker 7: I don't like what Wax saying that.
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, this will be a steady roll. Okay, you
have one bonus die from the the directed scanners. This
is a desperate position. Yeah, the effect will be limited.
Speaker 14: Hmmm.
Speaker 4: I don't want to push myself too early.
Speaker 7: That'll be four dies.
Speaker 12: We have at least one gambit.
Speaker 14: We have four gambits. As a matter of fact, let's
use one start at the start of a mission and
we got one from a crit Oh yeah, all.
Speaker 7: Right, two bonus die then?
Speaker 14: Yeah, if you had a gambit, are using a gambit
to check it?
Speaker 5: Sam?
Speaker 14: All right, cool, I'm marking that off. Yeah are you wha?
At least it's a parcel. But what the fuck?
Speaker 1: So as you begin to try and scan this wreckage, uh, Eden,
you see the screen start to as it does so
you can see that you've got multiple pings, and you
see things all around the ship, and suddenly scanners turn off.
Speaker 3: Uh there is stuff all around the goddamn ship, our
ship or that one.
Speaker 1: Around the wreck around the wreckage?
Speaker 8: Okay?
Speaker 25: Are I not visual as well?
Speaker 8: Ship? Uh? Code? I could use you in the helm
to get that rebooted.
Speaker 23: I'll run too.
Speaker 12: I'm heading down to the airline up to the helm.
Speaker 14: All right.
Speaker 8: You peace you Evan.
Speaker 13: I'm it would be the fastest for me. I don't
need a spacesuit, sir.
Speaker 8: Okay, you able to maneuver well.
Speaker 1: Because.
Speaker 14: That's all you get from Barry.
Speaker 5: I am at the air lock.
Speaker 9: I am here. You want me to impress the red button?
Speaker 14: No, not the red button. Get get Johndice working. The
scanners went out?
Speaker 9: Oh, Johnice is down.
Speaker 1: I mean maybe I don't know the herd visuals even
said visuals went out.
Speaker 10: I'll cry open to last slowly and then not show
myself but show Berry and then I'll just kind of lurkingly.
Speaker 1: All this smoke start to bellow out and you hear
you just hear this like there's a smell of burning pickles.
Speaker 25: Oh what do you need?
Speaker 23: I need your juice.
Speaker 1: And that's a good place for us to end the
session today.
Speaker 12: Okay, I'm ready, dear, let's go.
Speaker 4: Eating juice has been referenced twice this episode.
Speaker 10: I would just like to point that out.
Speaker 11: I swe I wish we would have got the Mirk
store because I would make eating juice give me the
loot and ready go radio?
Speaker 14: Do I get out?
Speaker 6: Wait?
Speaker 8: Wait?
Speaker 4: I listened to Pieces Advice. Do I get a reduction
in stress?
Speaker 14: What advice?
Speaker 12: Oh yeah, look for traps?
Speaker 1: Yes, absolutely.
Speaker 11: I listened to Pieces Advice as well about the tight nights.
Speaker 14: The most answer.

Speaker 9: I miss it.
Speaker 11: Other than that, Pathfinder rathawiches, I'm finally like doing damage
and it's been a hoot because I will sit there
for a fucking hour trying to level up characters. I'm
not even exaggerating it takes that long. Learning Pathfinder is fun.
Other than that, if you want some laugh and and
and stuff, come my way.
Speaker 6: Uh.
Speaker 11: I played Code and some let's get on with the
with the lovely, with the lovely leveled up stuff, which,
good god man, what the bad roads today?
Speaker 9: These I think this is the worst codes ever rolled.
Was today?
Speaker 11: Now there was a one Wow anyway, all right, desperate action,
I don't think I think I avoided it.
Speaker 9: Desperate action that would have been probably been bad.
Speaker 1: Too many today there were only a couple.
Speaker 9: It was only like a few.
Speaker 11: Yeah, one, two, Yeah, Okay, it wasn't mean there's three.
I think it wasn't me.
Speaker 1: You guys had you guys hadn't reached the desperate part
of the race just yet.
Speaker 9: You say that when I have three press got in
two traumas.
Speaker 1: I was shocked that I rolled the critical success on
one of the groups that had the least amount of dice.
Speaker 8: Yeah.
Speaker 14: The fact that Choce was not first really through me off.
Speaker 11: So wild and wild and crazy kids, let's see you andressed. Uh,
just a tough challenge with the technical skill ingenuity, I
would freaking say so, I uh ingenuity. I tried to Okay,
that won't can't. I already know you're gonna say no
for that. I had some ships, fucking hack some ships
and I built a drone that.
Speaker 19: Uh, what is your I like this new tactic, like
act like you don't care in the points?
Speaker 1: Yeah, I got for it. I will give you the
tough challenge with ingenuity because uh, you went to go
see what they were doing, and that's I.
Speaker 14: Snuck away successfully.
Speaker 1: I will give you, give you a next speek for
that for sure.
Speaker 9: What about hacking spacebook with a crit Oh.
Speaker 1: Yes, I will give you didn't do much for you,
by the way, but you did.
Speaker 14: Do anything again Chauce as well.
Speaker 1: So that's actually the reason that he wasn't in first
Oh he lost to die hell yoh, okay, let's see
you as pressure believes drives Harris's background.
Speaker 11: I would say a wee bit might be a pety one.
It was for the tight nights. The deep dwellers did
talk about him.
Speaker 1: For the background.
Speaker 11: Yeah yeah, if you don't think so, okay, cool, all right,
I level, all right, let's see struggle with issues.
Speaker 1: To put a point something with resaws.
Speaker 11: Well you one, yeah, it doesn't count the same one.
Speaker 9: It does have to be in all different ones different
it has.
Speaker 7: To be the first row.
Speaker 14: Yeah.
Speaker 29: There's just nothing that coldl do, but it tunes. He
doesn't give a ship consort. Talk to your friends, friends
and content. You're learning how to talk to people, man.
Speaker 14: Tell people what to do?
Speaker 9: Why command you think all right, I'm gonna go cave.
Speaker 30: To pure pressure and do whatever you want and just
have horrible, just horrible result.
Speaker 11: That's a command. We got to get a backbone one day, man,
all right, uh yeah, and that's it. And like I said,
if you want to see some ninety commercials stream when
I'm bored, come on by.
Speaker 9: We had a lot of fun with that. That was
really fun.
Speaker 1: Anyway, thanks favorite. My favorite nineties commercial is Crossfire. Remember that.
Speaker 14: One more game?
Speaker 23: Yeah?
Speaker 26: I had it?
Speaker 1: Did you have the game? And it was it was
the little Steel beat Man.
Speaker 12: Game Man and those.
Speaker 13: It was always a draw because it's just like everybody.
Speaker 12: Sick of it.
Speaker 24: And he'd be like, oh god, because that thing was
not an easy pull.
Speaker 12: It was a.
Speaker 9: Sack like yeah.
Speaker 12: A man, holy ship, that got you so fuck.
Speaker 11: I was telling all the young people in the chat
how dangerous all of our toys were in nineties, Like
Armstrong had toxic ship in it, the creepy Crawlers was horrible,
like all these things are bad.
Speaker 13: Was just barely out of the the age group where
fucking lawn darts.
Speaker 9: Was a thing. Darts terrific. Anyway, good time.
Speaker 1: All right, thank you?
Speaker 30: Uh still, I I'm still Luna, Still Luna TV. On
social media, I am a t t RPG performer and producer.
I do lots of playpretin throw dice and that's my thing.
If you want to find more information about me, you
can head on over to my Twitter.
Speaker 7: I'm really happy to be here.
Speaker 30: Monday is my favorite day.
Speaker 10: Of the week.
Speaker 30: Thank you for such an awesome episode.
Speaker 5: I really liked the music.
Speaker 7: It was really rocket.
Speaker 30: Okay, So for today, Uh, no desperate actions.
Speaker 5: I nailed my doctor will at the beginning.
Speaker 30: It was not desperate actually, uh okay, addressed the top
challenge with insight or compassion. I would like to say
yes for the first time.
Speaker 14: I think maybe.
Speaker 1: Again, know what you're gonna say, but go ahead.
Speaker 30: Yeah for the conversation with doctor Aquarius and trying to
appeal to like, hey, maybe you need to stop thinking
about what you're doing and think about Eden right now? Okay,
express your belief strives heritage or background?
Speaker 7: Does head empty count as back?
Speaker 8: You know?
Speaker 14: I mean, I want to at least note is food
at this point a part of your background? Because no,
that's my vice? Oh that is? And you didn't Yeah, okay,
but I sorry.
Speaker 30: I actually meant about the deep dwellers and stuff like,
because my character does not know any of that, even
though like Hertigo grew up on Titan.
Speaker 5: It's all very enigmatic.
Speaker 1: That's a good question. I'll give you a pity XP
for that. I don't think so. But like you learn
something about tight Night tight Knight's today.
Speaker 9: I also if you remember about the.
Speaker 30: Elders, Yeah, learning about the finishing the connections, yeah, finishing
the long term project definitely solidified a.
Speaker 17: Lot of that.
Speaker 30: And then struggle with issues for your vice or traumas.
Speaker 1: I don't know whom we can give you the ketchup
one that wasn't.
Speaker 4: I mean, she did nothing because she prefer.
Speaker 7: I mean not struggling.
Speaker 1: All right, fine, we'll give you four. What the hell
we gave you four? She said, twitch goes completely. Pity completely.
There's a solid three pity points there, you can you know,
it's all the pity also comes from looking at your
sheet and just seeing like how few accidents you have.
Speaker 4: There.
Speaker 1: It's actual pity. Okay, thank you so much, all right, Faye.
Speaker 7: Hello, my name is Failin.
Speaker 4: I played Eden today. I do teapg stuff here on
Mondays and Tuesdays for one hundred club and King Makers.
Speaker 7: I also do a lot of.
Speaker 4: Red Redemption role play on my channel along with other
games sometimes. But Frank, we've been doing a weekly thing
except this past week because our schedules kind of didn't
line up. So if you want to see us roasting
each other.
Speaker 7: Even more.
Speaker 4: Thursdaysdays, yes, yeah, yep. But anyway, you can find me
on twitches fail in same with all my social media's.
I'm on Twitter, I'm on high, I'm on Instagram, all
that stuff. So if you want to find me there,
go for it. It's f h A E L I
M as for Eden stuff. Today, I had two desperate actions.
Somebody marked the experience and insight because they were both
for I believe study roles. And then we have you
addressed a tough challenge with wisdom or the way. Yeah,
the the gut punch, the anime scenes. So we'll give
that one for that, I'm assuming, yep, Okay. I don't
think there was anything else in terms of the way
or really wise. So no, you expressed your beliefs, drives,
heritage or background.
Speaker 7: I don't know. I mean, it's it's a lot of.
Speaker 4: Stuff on the end of like, uh, things that we
kind of already knew during that conversation with Doctor Aquarius
and just having her clear them up. So I don't
know whether or not I would qualify that as more
on my end, I will.
Speaker 1: Give you one for that. I think that you learned
some stuff today about some of your background, for sure.
I think that the communication there with with Doctor Aquarius
and and Vertigo will count for sure.
Speaker 4: Okay, and then you struggled with issues from your vice
or traumas during the session.
Speaker 7: No, no, I don't think so.
Speaker 1: Alrighty two xp.
Speaker 12: Zeke yo. What's up everybody? Yeah for watching.
Speaker 13: Thank you to my table mates as always for being
wonderful to play with.
Speaker 12: And my name is Zego.
Speaker 13: Third excuse me a little flame there. Uh you can
find me at or Slash's Giel Underscore. I I on twit, Twitter,
and YouTube. Easy Gel the third all spelled out on
Instagram and TikTok broadcast a variety games starting at ten
am Pacific most every day and in fact Tuesday tomorrow.
Speaker 12: Uh, I'm actually kind of debating now.
Speaker 13: I was gonna start Hi Fi Rush, but also at
Steam Nextfest, and you know how I loves me the.
Speaker 12: Varieties, So it's gonna be a tough choice.
Speaker 13: I'm gonna I'm gonna sit here afterwards and decide if
I want to do one or t'other. But it should
I I'll be streaming, so if you want to come watch,
that's you know.
Speaker 1: Do it.
Speaker 12: In the session stuff.
Speaker 13: I already marched up all my desperate actions, so we're
good on that.
Speaker 12: I think I got like two today.
Speaker 13: Did I address a tough challenge with deception or influence?
I want to say no, I didn't do a lot
of I didn't do a ton of talking today.
Speaker 31: Wait, no, you but almost you lost your privilege and
you immediately addressed it, and you yeah, you, you immediately
addressed it, and you expressed how important and critical it
was to the point where like you essentially organized a
drop off.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I will give you an XP for that. You you
try to think of a way around it. Basically, I'll
give you an XP for that.
Speaker 13: So very cool, and that would that be the Yeah, Okay.
Then the next one is you expressed your beliefs, drive,
heritage or background. I think that's kind of like rolled
up into that that whole situation at the beginning where yeah.
Speaker 1: I didn't really get a lot from that one today,
I think from you.
Speaker 13: Cool and struggled with the issues from your vice or trauma.
Speaker 12: There was what was it? There was one moment.
Speaker 13: Where I was super reckless.
Speaker 12: And it was it was it had to do with
the role.
Speaker 9: It was the Devil's Party role.
Speaker 12: It was.
Speaker 7: A lot happened the session.
Speaker 13: I know, I know, I know, I'm trying to I'm trying.
I know I know it because I remembered. I made
a mental note of it.
Speaker 12: Then now of course I forgot it.
Speaker 14: I mean I was gonna say, was it when you.
Speaker 7: Were field skull rolls?
Speaker 25: Yeah?
Speaker 12: What was the skull croll I was doing?
Speaker 14: That was for you trying to use the black market
in order to connect contact directly.
Speaker 1: That's right.
Speaker 12: That that was reckless. It was to involve them.
Speaker 1: On for that. Yeah, okay, cool, all right, and I'll
take you super reckless by the way. Yeah, it was
a risk. I was like, You're like, I want to
use Haven as a filter. I was like, what now, Yeah, slic,
I not think I was going to My eyes were like.
Speaker 12: I didn't think I was going to fuck that up
as bad. Like I had two roles and I just
could not roll a success to save my life.
Speaker 1: Yeah, that that was it was an interesting day to
have some bad roles.
Speaker 6: Uh.
Speaker 1: And it's yeah, it's put you guys back a little bit.
So we'll see what you can do to to potentially
make this up.
Speaker 13: I think the information that I'm giving Slice probably will
smooth a little bit of that over because it's pretty
heavy ship.
Speaker 12: Uh huh that's all you got.
Speaker 1: Thank you so much, Dan. Yes, hello, I am domestic
Dan Lifestyle right about cast her tabletop er PG joyer.
Uh and all that's sort of fun. And I'm talking again.
I'm no longer doing my silent week.
Speaker 14: That's fun. Uh. And uh, I'll be diving into dead space, well,
continuing dead space. I had like a little taste of it,
and then I stopped talking for a week. So uh
so now I'm going back to it because it's so
good in terms of this game.
Speaker 1: Uh, let's look at Molly first executing successful extraction operation
or captur abounty now, Uh, contend with challenges above your
current station.
Speaker 14: No, no, not yet. Yeah, yeah, that's why it was
risky and not desperate. Stuff that makes sense. Uh, bolster
your cruise rep or develop a new one, I might say, bolstering,
yeah one for that Yeah, everybody ship talking chos like
the number one racer in the system.
Speaker 1: Yeah, you know what, I will give you two for
this good arguments.
Speaker 14: Yeah yeah. And then it expressed the goals, drives, inner
conflict or essential nature of the crew. Yeah. Probably not. Yeah,
I was just all bolstering our rep very loudly in
a diner. All right, there's molly. And then for very
you addressed a tough challenge with speed or flair, might
say a few times there, Uh, dog.
Speaker 1: I will give you two for this, yes.
Speaker 14: Yeah, awesome. Uh. And express be believes drives heritage background. No,
I doubt that one, honestly. But issues with vice er
trauma vicious. I was willing to just blow up a
ship right outside a diner, uh, and kill people and
not care. Uh.
Speaker 1: I would argue that's more reckless. But if you had
not aimed at the engine, I would give you the vicious.
Speaker 14: Oh fair, that's fair. I did aim at the engine.
Speaker 1: Yeah, you straight up was like, I'm going to aim
at the cockpit.
Speaker 14: Yep.
Speaker 1: I've given that to you, no question, Just a lawyer.
Speaker 4: A little bit for you, my dearest Berry.
Speaker 7: The beliefs and heritage and everything like that.
Speaker 4: We learned a decent chunk about Barry's racing past. Today
we learned of a rivalry that he's had with this fella.
We learned that he used to work with this guy too.
Speaker 9: Oh yeah, I didn't know that that is fair.
Speaker 11: Possibly had a relationship question mark. Someone was mentioned about something.
Speaker 14: Out loud and talk with code briefly on it. Yeah,
I didn't to you. Okay, all right, well thank you.
That'll give me one more im proud.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 30: The background of there's a ship named after you and
it's yellow, that's backstory.
Speaker 14: The fair enough, fair enough to make him run? Yeah,
all right.
Speaker 1: Well that's all for me then, all right, thank you
very much. I am wax Steve and I've been your
GM of Doom. I'm dragging the players kicking and screaming
through the adventure today. Thank you so much everybody for
being here. I hope you enjoyed the first part of
this race. I had. I uh yeah, we had some
downtime stuff to do in the beginning that we had
to kind of just wrap up that we wanted to
do on camera today just because we thought it was
important to the story. And we did a bunch of
the other downtime stuff off Cam, but I hope you're
enjoying the race thus far. I've been trying to keep
things interesting and make it uh you know, amazing race
inspired was my one.
