Speaker 1:
[01:12] Hello? I wanted to cut my trip short, Frank, but I was advised to return early.
Speaker 2:
[01:37] You were advised?
Speaker 3:
[01:40] Yes.
Speaker 2:
[01:42] Trinket, by any chance, were you advised to come back early by a deck of tarot cards?
Speaker 4:
[01:49] There's a saying where I come from. May you survive the blessing and break the world.
Speaker 2:
[02:04] Wait, is that just a big bag of oats?
Speaker 3:
[02:08] Yes.
Speaker 2:
[02:10] You're pouring out a bag of oats right now.
Speaker 3:
[02:14] Yes.
Speaker 5:
[02:14] Oh, oh, oh, God.
Speaker 2:
[02:18] The explanation for this is going to be really something, isn't it?
Speaker 1:
[02:23] Laugh all you want, this is what I do. We might need this very soon though.
Speaker 6:
[02:29] Well, I understand, but without all the proper testing infrastructure, we're going to need to take our time to do this responsibly.
Speaker 1:
[02:36] Yeah, but big day.
Speaker 6:
[02:38] Trinket. Trinket, Trinket, Trinket, Trinket.
Speaker 4:
[02:40] No, no, no, no, no.
Speaker 7:
[02:42] Where am I?
Speaker 3:
[02:52] Hello? Hello?
Speaker 1:
[02:59] Hello, is someone there?
Speaker 3:
[03:04] Hello? Hello?
Speaker 1:
[03:10] Where am I?
Speaker 3:
[03:13] Where?
Speaker 1:
[03:16] What is this place?
Speaker 8:
[03:20] Do you see a place?
Speaker 1:
[03:22] Yes.
Speaker 8:
[03:25] What's your name?
Speaker 9:
[03:27] Trinket.
Speaker 8:
[03:30] I like that name. I'm Libuza.
Speaker 1:
[03:35] Hello, Libuza. Where am I?
Speaker 8:
[03:42] Can you tell me what you're seeing?
Speaker 1:
[03:45] Uh, I'm on the shore of an ocean. Can you not see it?
Speaker 8:
[03:55] I don't really see things. Can you tell me more?
Speaker 1:
[04:01] Uh, an ocean. It's dark, like the sun is either about to come up or has just gone down.
Speaker 8:
[04:11] Hmm. That sounds nice.
Speaker 1:
[04:14] Can you tell me what's happening?
Speaker 8:
[04:17] Where are you from, Trinket?
Speaker 1:
[04:19] Well, Oregon.
Speaker 8:
[04:22] What is that?
Speaker 1:
[04:24] I mean...
Speaker 10:
[04:27] Earth.
Speaker 8:
[04:29] You're an Earthling?
Speaker 10:
[04:31] Yes.
Speaker 8:
[04:33] It's rare for you to be where you are.
Speaker 1:
[04:36] And where's that?
Speaker 8:
[04:39] I'm not sure how to explain it.
Speaker 1:
[04:43] Give it a shot.
Speaker 8:
[04:47] On Earth, you like to race cars.
Speaker 1:
[04:50] I guess?
Speaker 8:
[04:52] When you're in the car, you look forward at what's right in front of you as you travel along the road.
Speaker 3:
[04:58] Right.
Speaker 8:
[05:00] But now imagine you're in the middle of the track. You can watch from the outside, seeing the cars trying to navigate the turns.
Speaker 3:
[05:09] Okay.
Speaker 1:
[05:11] I think I get it.
Speaker 8:
[05:13] You're outside of time and space right now.
Speaker 3:
[05:17] Holy shit.
Speaker 1:
[05:21] Libuza, am I on the astral plane right now?
Speaker 8:
[05:25] I'm not sure what Earthlings call it. People where I'm from would call it... I'm sorry. It's been a while since I've spoken my native language. Uh, the, uh, the Ooshpnod.
Speaker 1:
[05:39] So... so you're not... You're not, like, a spirit guiding me or something?
Speaker 8:
[05:48] No. I'm another mind like you.
Speaker 1:
[05:51] And we're meeting here on the astral plane.
Speaker 8:
[05:56] That's not a bad way of looking at it.
Speaker 1:
[06:00] As I walked along the beach, I could see moments from my life.
Speaker 3:
[06:06] Yes.
Speaker 8:
[06:07] You're on the outside looking in right now, so you can walk through your past like it's a museum.
Speaker 1:
[06:15] That's wild.
Speaker 8:
[06:17] It is.
Speaker 1:
[06:17] And if I keep walking along the beach, do I see my future?
Speaker 8:
[06:23] No. I don't think so. Every mind sees this place differently. To you, it's the shore of an ocean. The shore is your life from the past to the present. But if you look out onto that dark ocean, that's the future.
Speaker 1:
[06:43] That looks pretty foreboding.
Speaker 8:
[06:46] That's on purpose. It's very dangerous to travel into the future.
Speaker 3:
[06:53] Why?
Speaker 8:
[06:55] The future has infinite paths. Behind you is your single path. You can get lost very easily.
Speaker 1:
[07:08] This is a pretty big deal for me, Libuza.
Speaker 8:
[07:11] Really?
Speaker 1:
[07:12] Oh yeah. I mean, people like me work our whole lives for a glimpse of a place like this. This is kind of the Olympics for me.
Speaker 8:
[07:23] Olympics?
Speaker 1:
[07:24] Oh, never mind.
Speaker 8:
[07:27] Are you some sort of shaman on Earth?
Speaker 1:
[07:32] Yeah, that's one way of looking at it.
Speaker 8:
[07:36] Can you tell me more about what you see? Before I discovered how to reach this place, I used to study people like you.
Speaker 1:
[07:43] Well, I can't see where the sun is, but there's this other light too, far off that way, like a lighthouse.
Speaker 8:
[07:56] Tell me what a lighthouse is.
Speaker 1:
[07:58] Well, it's like a tower on the shore. It shines a light so that ships won't run aground, but it... I think it's moving.
Speaker 8:
[08:09] It may be another mind like yours.
Speaker 1:
[08:11] It feels familiar, though, but I should go there. I should see what it is, right?
Speaker 8:
[08:19] Can I give you some advice?
Speaker 3:
[08:21] Sure.
Speaker 8:
[08:23] I wouldn't spend too much time here at first. It's easy to get lost.
Speaker 3:
[08:30] Okay.
Speaker 8:
[08:32] Speaking of which, I should go.
Speaker 1:
[08:34] Wait, I have so many questions.
Speaker 8:
[08:37] I know. Where are you now?
Speaker 1:
[08:41] Well, right now, I'm sitting on the floor of my shop.
Speaker 8:
[08:47] And I'm on a starship, very far away from you in a very dangerous place. I have a lot of work to do when I come here.
Speaker 1:
[08:56] What are you doing?
Speaker 8:
[08:59] I have to go into the ocean.
Speaker 1:
[09:02] You just told me that was dangerous.
Speaker 8:
[09:05] It is. But over time, I've learned how to navigate it.
Speaker 1:
[09:12] Are you going to be all right?
Speaker 3:
[09:15] I will.
Speaker 8:
[09:16] But don't worry about me. You should probably head back.
Speaker 1:
[09:22] Any other advice before you go?
Speaker 8:
[09:24] I don't know. Like I said, it's strange for an Earthling to be here. For now, I just work on remembering things.
Speaker 1:
[09:33] Remembering things?
Speaker 8:
[09:35] Yes. When you get back, this will feel like a dream. You'll have a hard time recalling anything. Try and hold on to as much as you can. Write things down as soon as you wake up.
Speaker 3:
[09:47] Okay.
Speaker 1:
[09:48] Okay. I will.
Speaker 8:
[09:51] It's nice to meet you, Trinket.
Speaker 1:
[09:54] You too, Libuza. Be careful.
Speaker 3:
[09:57] I will be.
Speaker 8:
[09:59] Maybe we'll meet again.
Speaker 1:
[10:02] I hope so.
Speaker 3:
[10:27] Whoa!
Speaker 6:
[10:38] I hate this goddamn phone so much.
Speaker 1:
[10:42] Hi, Eldin.
Speaker 6:
[10:42] Calling to check in. You'll need to keep an eye on things in town.
Speaker 1:
[10:45] I know.
Speaker 6:
[10:46] Let me go over the plan one more time.
Speaker 1:
[10:48] Okay, one second though, I have to write down this crazy dream I just had.
Speaker 6:
[10:52] Oh, for sake.
Speaker 11:
[11:54] All right, boys, I think today is the day.
Speaker 12:
[11:58] The day for what, boss?
Speaker 13:
[11:59] Please enlighten us.
Speaker 11:
[12:00] Are our unfortunate guests here yet?
Speaker 12:
[12:01] They just arrived.
Speaker 14:
[12:03] Wonderful. Salutations. Our apologies for any tardiness.
Speaker 9:
[12:07] Well, well, well.
Speaker 11:
[12:09] Freezer pop and jerky chew.
Speaker 9:
[12:12] Welcome back.
Speaker 11:
[12:13] I trust you've gotten all the ice out of your veins?
Speaker 14:
[12:16] It was touch and go for a minute there, I don't mind saying. We were hard pressed to get warm, standing in the dry plume.
Speaker 11:
[12:21] Whatever. Against my protestations, our employer has allowed you two to go on a little redemption tour. My vote was to send you back to wherever the hell it was you came from, but the boss's word is the boss's word.
Speaker 14:
[12:34] We appreciate the opportunity to put a little shine back on our names. Ain't no way we'll be caught on the wares again.
Speaker 11:
[12:39] Only time will tell.
Speaker 13:
[12:42] Morning boss.
Speaker 11:
[12:43] GeeGaa.
Speaker 13:
[12:43] Oh, shit. Rocket pop and freezer poo. Surprised you guys are showing your faces on Raxias again.
Speaker 11:
[12:51] They've been given the rare second chance by our employer.
Speaker 13:
[12:55] Congratulations, boys. I'm sure you'll fuck it up somehow.
Speaker 11:
[12:59] That's the spirit.
Speaker 13:
[13:00] Where do you need me?
Speaker 11:
[13:01] I need you on tactical today. Keep an eye on all the feeds.
Speaker 13:
[13:04] Got it.
Speaker 14:
[13:05] If you don't mind us ask, seeing as how we're on the low rung on various poles, what task are we tilting towards today?
Speaker 11:
[13:12] I'm glad you asked. It's a very important day to day, people. Please bring your A-game. Today, someone's going to try to kill me.
Speaker 15:
[13:27] Almost there.
Speaker 9:
[13:27] Three more.
Speaker 10:
[13:29] Now.
Speaker 9:
[13:34] Nice.
Speaker 16:
[13:35] Now I reduce the flame and we temper the blade.
Speaker 15:
[13:37] This shit's phenomenal, Tavrok. I haven't gotten back to basics like this in a long time.
Speaker 4:
[13:43] I'm beginning to understand the Earthling concept of hell.
Speaker 15:
[13:45] Good morning.
Speaker 4:
[13:46] Is there some rule that says sword making can't happen in the afternoon?
Speaker 16:
[13:50] You must work when your arm is the strongest.
Speaker 15:
[13:53] Tavrok didn't know what he was sitting on. That meteor shower that almost killed you guys brought in stuff from all over the system. He's got a pile of ore back there with much better carbon levels than anything on Earth.
Speaker 16:
[14:05] The sky has given me a great gift.
Speaker 4:
[14:07] How exciting. Fellas, I don't care. What's for breakfast?
Speaker 16:
[14:11] I slew a deer with the sunrise.
Speaker 15:
[14:13] Look at that! I love this guy! He slew a deer with the sunrise!
Speaker 4:
[14:19] Well, at least the menu's better out here.
Speaker 16:
[14:21] It hangs on the spit by the woodpile.
Speaker 4:
[14:24] Thank you. Sorry to disturb your hammering.
Speaker 17:
[14:30] Good morning.
Speaker 4:
[14:30] Oh, hi, baby.
Speaker 17:
[14:32] How are you holding up out there?
Speaker 4:
[14:34] Well, you know, every morning I wake up to the boys banging on their fucking swords. Seriously, how many swords does one guy need?
Speaker 17:
[14:42] How many knives do you have again?
Speaker 4:
[14:44] Uh, touche.
Speaker 17:
[14:50] I miss you.
Speaker 4:
[14:52] I miss you too. This is stupid.
Speaker 17:
[14:55] It is stupid, but I get it.
Speaker 6:
[14:58] We've discussed this about 5,000 times. This is all for the best.
Speaker 17:
[15:02] We can discuss it 5001 if you want to.
Speaker 6:
[15:05] With either you or Leif being Minsky's target, it's important that you be removed from the general populace for the time being. It keeps any prying eyes from seeing you, and it keeps the townspeople from catching a stray plasma blast.
Speaker 4:
[15:16] I get it, okay? Why do I have to be trapped out here with Leif?
Speaker 17:
[15:21] Because I don't want you to be by yourself.
Speaker 9:
[15:26] Fine.
Speaker 4:
[15:28] So, when are we making a move on this fucker?
Speaker 5:
[15:33] Tomorrow.
Speaker 4:
[15:35] Tomorrow?
Speaker 10:
[15:36] Yes.
Speaker 4:
[15:38] Does anyone want to let me in on the plan?
Speaker 18:
[15:40] What the fuck?
Speaker 17:
[15:41] I'm going to hang up and let you two talk. I love you, Verge.
Speaker 4:
[15:48] I love you too.
Speaker 18:
[15:52] Eldin?
Speaker 6:
[15:53] You can't be a part of the plan.
Speaker 17:
[15:56] What?
Speaker 3:
[15:57] It's for the best.
Speaker 4:
[15:59] Says who?
Speaker 6:
[15:59] Says me.
Speaker 4:
[16:00] And who the fuck are you to decide? It's putting everybody at risk, Eldin.
Speaker 6:
[16:14] Life is already remaining here to run tactical operations. With me, you should do the same.
Speaker 4:
[16:18] Everybody's putting themselves in danger, and you want me to just sit here?
Speaker 6:
[16:24] Yes.
Speaker 4:
[16:25] No!
Speaker 6:
[16:26] Verge.
Speaker 4:
[16:26] How the fuck did you come to this conclusion?
Speaker 19:
[16:28] Honestly, it wasn't my idea.
Speaker 3:
[16:29] What?
Speaker 10:
[16:32] Oh.
Speaker 4:
[16:35] Deidre.
Speaker 6:
[16:35] She's very concerned for your safety.
Speaker 4:
[16:37] Well, I'm concerned for her fucking safety.
Speaker 6:
[16:40] In what world has you raising your voice done anything to change what I say?
Speaker 4:
[16:43] I can't believe this. God!
Speaker 6:
[16:45] She asked me about the possibility of completing this mission without you. I ran thousands of simulations, and I have to say, the prospects look good.
Speaker 4:
[16:56] How is that possible?
Speaker 6:
[16:57] Well, it's a very complicated calculation. I wouldn't want to bore you.
Speaker 4:
[17:00] I'm going to toss you into this fire and never look back.
Speaker 6:
[17:02] You're one of the most dangerous beings in the Triad, Verge. As it turns out, the more dangerous people you add to a scenario, the more dangerous that scenario becomes for all parties. So when we have a scenario that only involves a small group of earthlings, the simulations return some very promising data.
Speaker 4:
[17:23] And you thought this talk of math and simulations was going to make me feel better?
Speaker 6:
[17:29] Then how about this? If heaven forfend something goes wrong, you will be available to pull everyone's rear end from the fire. Don't think of yourself as being excluded. Just think of yourself as a fire extinguisher in a little glass case.
Speaker 10:
[17:45] Oh, glass case.
Speaker 4:
[17:48] This doesn't make any sense to me.
Speaker 6:
[17:51] Which is why you have me, to make sense of things.
Speaker 10:
[17:55] Wait.
Speaker 4:
[17:56] So let me get this straight. She hung up so that you could break the bad news?
Speaker 6:
[18:03] Yes. And she and June are pulling up to the cabin right now to apologize.
Speaker 5:
[18:09] Hello.
Speaker 20:
[18:10] We have come to start the party.
Speaker 4:
[18:13] You better be right about this, Eldin.
Speaker 6:
[18:15] Let's not forget that it was your idea to put us in this situation, Verge. I'm working very hard to avoid total disaster.
Speaker 4:
[18:22] And I still don't like it.
Speaker 6:
[18:24] Well, welcome to the wonderful world of doing the right thing.
Speaker 5:
[18:27] It's often painful.
Speaker 21:
[18:28] I have brought beers and whiskey. I have also brought whatever these fish are that Frank pulled out of Burnt Lake. Oh, also, Verge, look, I found you a girlfriend.
Speaker 4:
[18:43] Hey. Thank you, June.
Speaker 21:
[18:44] Leif, how are you liking it out here?
Speaker 15:
[18:46] It's pretty great. We're making a sword.
Speaker 21:
[18:48] A sword, Tavrok. You? Making a sword?
Speaker 16:
[18:53] What would you have me do?
Speaker 21:
[18:54] I don't know. Do you ever just make some knives and forks or something?
Speaker 16:
[18:59] I did so yesterday.
Speaker 3:
[19:00] Oh.
Speaker 21:
[19:02] Well, look at me being an asshole.
Speaker 9:
[19:03] You are perfect.
Speaker 21:
[19:05] That's what I like to hear. Look, I have fish.
Speaker 16:
[19:08] We should salt them.
Speaker 20:
[19:09] Okay.
Speaker 21:
[19:11] Leif, we're going to go inside and salt the fish, if you know what I mean.
Speaker 10:
[19:19] Okay.
Speaker 17:
[19:22] Are we in a fight?
Speaker 4:
[19:23] How do you expect me to feel about this?
Speaker 17:
[19:25] Well, I think you should feel like I'm doing what's best for everyone.
Speaker 4:
[19:29] Are you?
Speaker 17:
[19:30] You can't step in front of every bullet Verge. We're all doing this together. Let's go for a walk. Come on. I hardly ever get out here.
Speaker 3:
[19:48] Okay.
Speaker 17:
[19:49] Hi, uh, Leif. Um, we're going to go for a walk.
Speaker 3:
[19:53] Okay.
Speaker 15:
[19:56] I will just stand out here by myself. Hey, Lucien, looks like it's just you and me. What are we doing today?
Speaker 3:
[20:13] Leif.
Speaker 15:
[20:14] Did you find it?
Speaker 3:
[20:15] Yes.
Speaker 6:
[20:16] What the hell were you doing with the shadow server on Karma Karma Chameleon?
Speaker 15:
[20:21] Casinos need massive data storage, and they're always hiding things from the authorities. It's a great place to hide stuff.
Speaker 6:
[20:28] Luckily Dark Leif felt the same way.
Speaker 15:
[20:29] Pretty hilarious. This guy runs the whole triad, but he's still got bug out bags all over the place.
Speaker 6:
[20:35] There's a whole host of horrors on this server. Am I correct in thinking that DJK-DJK is the protocol you used to disrupt the old ice road?
Speaker 15:
[20:44] Yeah, that's the one.
Speaker 6:
[20:45] Is this everything? Your entire pack of tricks?
Speaker 15:
[20:47] There's one missing. The Ted Slayer is still in a lockbox at Red's Rectangle. You can't access it remotely.
Speaker 9:
[20:55] Seems an odd place for it.
Speaker 15:
[20:56] There's no good place for it. It used to be on a network server, but that made me nervous.
Speaker 6:
[21:02] You could have just destroyed it. Yeah, I know.
Speaker 15:
[21:06] Something told me to hang on to it.
Speaker 6:
[21:07] Have you ever made anything that doesn't destroy things?
Speaker 15:
[21:10] Can you call me a piece of shit some other time, please?
Speaker 6:
[21:13] Anytime you like.
Speaker 15:
[21:16] You've got it all downloaded to your server?
Speaker 9:
[21:17] I do.
Speaker 10:
[21:19] Okay.
Speaker 15:
[21:21] Then we're ready.
Speaker 9:
[21:24] Tomorrow, then.
Speaker 10:
[21:26] Okay.
Speaker 11:
[21:28] All right, everyone. Here's how this is going to work. We're currently one floor above the Mermaid of the Dark Seas, what has to be the worst casino on Rex Prime. It is a total disaster down on the casino floor, but luckily for us, the building could not be more poorly designed.
Speaker 13:
[21:45] Why is that good for us? Because there's no way to get to us without going through the casino.
Speaker 11:
[21:51] Very good, Frances Goldstar. If you want to get to me, you'll have to go through the casino. GeeGaa is now hacked into their security feeds, aren't you, GeeGaa?
Speaker 13:
[22:02] Yeah, they even have video feeds in the bathrooms, which is real gross, boss.
Speaker 11:
[22:08] It would be against the law if there were things like laws around here. But all of this is good for us.
Speaker 12:
[22:14] The more video feeds, the better.
Speaker 11:
[22:16] The more video feeds, the better. Thank you, Sluggo.
Speaker 14:
[22:19] So your intention is to get wind of Verge before they've made it to you, in the hopes that will spring this trap of yours more readily?
Speaker 11:
[22:26] That is correct. I made a big show with one of Verge's Associates, based on the assumption that Verge would then come after me. I am the bait in the trap.
Speaker 14:
[22:37] Seems as though that's awful dangerous for yourself there, Boss. Ain't we better serve getting Verge where they live? If we know where they're at, why not scoop them up where they reside?
Speaker 11:
[22:47] And how well did that go for you, too? I seem to recall that ended up with the two of you on the Space Junk Highway.
Speaker 14:
[22:53] I'm not making no excuses for our various failures, but our endeavors would have been a success, were it not for all the failures. Indeed, seems to me if we omit the failures, we come up with a spot-free record.
Speaker 11:
[23:08] What the fuck are you talking about?
Speaker 13:
[23:09] You guys sure you're fully thawed? I'm sensing a little ice on the brain.
Speaker 11:
[23:15] Never go hunting for a serpent in the serpent's den, boys. Always find a way to flush it out. I'm the only one that Verge is going to make a special trip for. They do despise me to an unhealthy degree. It's hard to get a Vapian to make an unsafe move. The bait for this trap needs to be exceptional. And I am nothing if not exceptional.
Speaker 13:
[23:38] So we just sit here and wait?
Speaker 11:
[23:39] The first sign of Verge, and it will be up to all of you to keep me from getting dead. Don't fuck it up, everyone.
Speaker 14:
[23:47] Seeing as how Vapians are so good at avoiding our scene, ain't they going to just figure away past your watchful eyes?
Speaker 11:
[23:53] They absolutely are. I predict Verge will attempt a distraction. They'll orchestrate some sort of incident in the casino, meant to point our eyes in a particular direction, and then slip by unnoticed as we're looking the other way.
Speaker 12:
[24:08] So how do we defend against that?
Speaker 11:
[24:09] By having an ace up our sleeve. Everybody gather around GeeGaa and the video feeds. As you can see here, we have eyes on every inch of the casino. Look at that mass of people. Now, GeeGaa, please press that little red button.
Speaker 20:
[24:28] Okay.
Speaker 13:
[24:32] Whoa, what's all this, boss?
Speaker 11:
[24:34] That, my friends, is experimental surveillance technology that we managed to get our hands on. It's called a DNA dog. The video feed is now available to highlight the specific race of everyone it sets its eyes on. Now, all we have to do is set an alarm for Vapian DNA and wait.
Speaker 12:
[24:53] What if another Vapian shows up?
Speaker 13:
[24:54] There are hardly any Vapians left. The chances of two showing up in the same place is almost zero.
Speaker 11:
[25:00] Verge will enter the casino thinking they're invisible, but they will stand out like a house fire.
Speaker 14:
[25:07] Simple as cake. Easy as pie.
Speaker 13:
[25:09] Have you guys ever made up high? It's actually really hard.
Speaker 11:
[25:13] GeeGaa, keep an eye on the monitors. Let us know if you see anything odd. Everyone else, smoke meant we got them.
Speaker 13:
[25:23] Anyone wanna do a puzzle?
Speaker 14:
[25:24] Pardon us, boss.
Speaker 11:
[25:25] What is it, boys?
Speaker 14:
[25:26] Seeing as how we're on a bit of a break, we were wanting to inquire us to the particular curiosities of our current soldier. This here will be our second go-around on this here planet trying to reel in this fish. We found ourselves out in the drink for it. And seeing as how our big boss man has got himself a whole mess of land to keep a handle on, we were wondering as to why this particular fish and this particular riff, an awful lot of work put into this here operation. And to what end we are prone to wonder.
Speaker 11:
[25:51] Jesus, that took forever. Can you two please come up with a faster way to ask a question?
Speaker 14:
[25:57] We realize.
Speaker 11:
[25:58] Please, God, don't answer that. I don't have all night. Listen, everyone. I realize that it may seem like a lot of work to bring in one person, but our benevolent employer, he moves in mysterious ways. We all remember what the days were like with love tracks. Lucrative, certainly. But they were very chaotic. And with this new regime we find ourselves in, we're able to do so much more now that we have a leader with an actual attention span. But what comes along with that? Well, it's the odd obsession from time to time. Ours is not to ask why. Ours is to not fuck up and find ourselves floating in deep space. Understand?
Speaker 13:
[26:40] Hey, boss?
Speaker 10:
[26:41] Yes?
Speaker 13:
[26:42] Do you want to know about anything weird or just the Vapian-related stuff?
Speaker 11:
[26:47] What have you got?
Speaker 13:
[26:48] Earthlings. Earthlings? Yeah. Sensors are telling me the makeup of the casino floor is 0.1% Earthling.
Speaker 11:
[26:58] Well, what the fuck is that about?
Speaker 12:
[27:00] I thought there was a whole town of Earthlings up in the mountains.
Speaker 13:
[27:03] Well, yeah, but they're not real Earthlings. They're all wearing Earthsuits up there, aren't they?
Speaker 14:
[27:10] That was certainly how we discerned it. Real close to the real thing in our eyes, but ain't no way they could be the real thing.
Speaker 13:
[27:16] Yeah, I mean, how could an entire town of actual Earthlings get all the way out here? Boss?
Speaker 11:
[27:24] My entire life, I've only met one Earthling. An entire town of them would be impossible.
Speaker 13:
[27:30] What about that one you met with, Steve?
Speaker 11:
[27:33] He kept his Earthsuit activated the whole time.
Speaker 13:
[27:35] What? He stays in character the whole time?
Speaker 14:
[27:38] I assume we'd make that assumption as well. Seeing as how the alternative would be next to nuts.
Speaker 11:
[27:43] Bring them up on the monitors?
Speaker 13:
[27:45] I'm already scanning for Vabians. I'd have to stop to look for Earthlings.
Speaker 10:
[27:49] Right. Right.
Speaker 11:
[27:52] Probably nothing. GeeGaa, keep your eyes on the monitors. Let us know if you see anyone from Earthland on the casino floor.
Speaker 13:
[27:59] Oh, I already do.
Speaker 10:
[28:00] You do?
Speaker 11:
[28:02] Where?
Speaker 13:
[28:03] There's one of them right there. She's sitting at the barber duckle table.
Speaker 21:
[28:07] Well, here's the table of suckers. All right. Before I take everyone's money, I guess I gotta know how to play this game.
Speaker 13:
[28:18] I think her name is June.
Speaker 20:
[28:20] Who's got a cigarette?
Speaker 11:
[28:21] Boys, do you remember this woman?
Speaker 14:
[28:23] If we're being as honest as possible, our memories of our time on the mountain are about as fuzzy as cottonwood in springtime. Seems as though our time being frozen has made our brain pants a little achy.
Speaker 13:
[28:34] Wow, sir, even less helpful now. I didn't think it was possible.
Speaker 11:
[28:38] Let's stay focused, everyone. The earthling thing is weird, but we don't have time for that right now.
Speaker 13:
[28:44] I've got another one.
Speaker 11:
[28:46] Where?
Speaker 13:
[28:46] Right there, Fade Three.
Speaker 10:
[28:48] Is that?
Speaker 11:
[28:50] What is that?
Speaker 13:
[28:51] Is it a snack cart?
Speaker 7:
[28:54] Doritos? Fritos? Cheetos? Um, all of your earth snacks right here. Um, would anyone like an ice cold yu-hu?
Speaker 14:
[29:06] Ice cold yu-hu would hit the spot right about now. Yuhu and a flaming hot cheeto is what the doctor ordered.
Speaker 13:
[29:12] Also by the bar.
Speaker 22:
[29:13] Excuse me, bartender. Could I get three gin and tonics and 20 scratchers? Look at this lady.
Speaker 23:
[29:22] Ma'am, are you doomsday prepping with gin and tonics?
Speaker 10:
[29:25] Look at this.
Speaker 5:
[29:31] Am I right?
Speaker 23:
[29:33] Oh, high five.
Speaker 7:
[29:34] High five, my man.
Speaker 10:
[29:37] No? Nothing?
Speaker 23:
[29:39] You're gonna leave me hanging?
Speaker 9:
[29:40] All right, boys.
Speaker 5:
[29:42] Hey, bruh, put the game on!
Speaker 13:
[29:45] What is happening?
Speaker 11:
[29:47] It looks as though Verge has uncharacteristically made themselves some friends. Everybody, keep your eyes on the monitors. This is Verge making their move. Sluggo, head down to the casino floor and keep an eye on things.
Speaker 13:
[30:04] You got it, boss. What exactly are they planning on doing?
Speaker 11:
[30:07] Remember, the plan is chaos. All of them are going to try and create a distraction of some sort. Head back down to the Bumber Duckle table. What's the first one doing?
Speaker 21:
[30:19] Now it's called Pants Darts. You play darts, but it's fetching pants.
Speaker 9:
[30:25] Where's the dart board around here?
Speaker 13:
[30:27] As long as everyone stays cool at the table, it should be fine.
Speaker 12:
[30:31] Dealer, you have not given me the money I want. You are stealing from me.
Speaker 13:
[30:37] Oh, shit.
Speaker 9:
[30:38] Shorts.
Speaker 12:
[30:39] You again. Ken Daddy.
Speaker 21:
[30:42] Ken Daddyite.
Speaker 11:
[30:44] They're definitely making their move.
Speaker 13:
[30:46] Still no sign of ABN DNA.
Speaker 11:
[30:50] Where's Steve?
Speaker 6:
[31:00] Deidre, how are you faring?
Speaker 17:
[31:01] I'm inside the refugee camp. Should we even call it a camp? It's just a prison, right?
Speaker 6:
[31:08] I suppose it doesn't really matter what we call it.
Speaker 17:
[31:10] It's really bad in here, Eldin. They're giving them just enough to survive, looks like. They're all gathered around campfires trying to stay warm.
Speaker 6:
[31:20] Keeping them in a constant state of desperation is an essential part of the operation.
Speaker 17:
[31:24] There are so many of them. How am I supposed to convince everyone to get to the evac point?
Speaker 6:
[31:29] There should be a point person to talk to, not an elected leader per se, but someone who's gained the trust of the group, a de facto leader, or at least someone who can circulate the plan to everyone there.
Speaker 17:
[31:41] Okay. How do I find that person?
Speaker 6:
[31:44] You don't. The reason we sent you down there undisguised is so you'll stick out like a sore thumb, be patient and wait for someone to approach you. That should be the person to talk to.
Speaker 17:
[31:55] Okay. What level of freak out is Verge at right now?
Speaker 4:
[32:00] I really don't think I'm the one to worry about right now, sweetheart.
Speaker 17:
[32:03] Hey.
Speaker 4:
[32:04] Are you okay?
Speaker 17:
[32:05] I'm okay. God, there are so many different types of people down here, Verge.
Speaker 4:
[32:11] Yeah. They come from all over the place.
Speaker 17:
[32:14] After all this is over, I need you to make a serious effort to show me something out here that isn't terrible, okay?
Speaker 4:
[32:23] That's a good idea. I wish I could go back, do everything over again with you there.
Speaker 17:
[32:33] Baby, we should have been assigned each other at birth. We should never have had to look for each other. It's a crime. But according to Leif, there's an ocean of universes out there. And in one of them, I was an awkward kid walking into freshman year at Hood River Valley High School. And there you were, somehow. I looked up at you and put my heart into all four of your hands. And I never looked back. Those happy kids are out there somewhere. Just think about all the versions of us that never met. I worry about them all the time.
Speaker 18:
[33:38] Who are you?
Speaker 17:
[33:41] Hang on, I think I just hit the jackpot. Hi.
Speaker 3:
[33:51] Earth?
Speaker 17:
[33:53] Yes, I'm Deidre.
Speaker 18:
[33:57] You're on the wrong planet.
Speaker 17:
[33:59] I think everyone here is on the wrong planet.
Speaker 18:
[34:02] I think you know what I mean.
Speaker 17:
[34:07] What's your name? I promise I'm here to help you.
Speaker 18:
[34:17] Maloo.
Speaker 19:
[34:18] Wait, what?
Speaker 17:
[34:19] It's nice to meet you, Maloo.
Speaker 10:
[34:21] Holy shit. What?
Speaker 15:
[34:23] Oh, nothing.
Speaker 18:
[34:24] One earthling is weird, but I've seen two now. One a few days ago, and now you.
Speaker 17:
[34:31] Right, Steve. You saw my friend Steve. He told me about all of you. Me and my friends are trying to get everyone out of here. I promise.
Speaker 18:
[34:44] The reason why we are here is because someone said they were going to save us. They were lying. Why should I believe you?
Speaker 15:
[34:54] Deidre, if you're talking to someone that's green with yellow stripes, they're from a planet called Limonier. They're probably there with their younger brothers and sisters.
Speaker 17:
[35:02] You've got every right to be protective. Are you here with family?
Speaker 15:
[35:06] Limonier is mostly wetlands. Everyone there has to work at a water treatment facility. It sucks.
Speaker 17:
[35:13] You're from Limonier, right? You were trying to get your family away from the water treatment facilities? I don't blame you for being desperate.
Speaker 18:
[35:21] Our parents thought they were saving us.
Speaker 17:
[35:23] Maloo, if you'll trust me, your parents sending you away won't be in vain.
Speaker 18:
[35:29] How are you going to do this?
Speaker 17:
[35:31] There's a ship coming. I need everyone in this encampment to follow me. Suspicion isn't going to get you out of this place, Maloo. Only trust is going to do that. I know that doesn't make any sense, but it's true.
Speaker 18:
[35:52] Show me where. Then I'll decide.
Speaker 17:
[35:55] Okay. Follow me.
Speaker 15:
[36:03] Anyway, they're called the Earths. Apparently, they were here on this mountain a long time ago, and I don't know why. There's this huge structure back in town, but that can't be everything they left behind.
Speaker 5:
[36:18] Hmm.
Speaker 16:
[36:19] Ancient ones.
Speaker 15:
[36:20] Yeah, ancient ones. I keep walking around looking for something they may have left behind, but it's just that one structure. It can't have just been that building.
Speaker 16:
[36:34] Hammer scale.
Speaker 10:
[36:36] What?
Speaker 16:
[36:37] You must find hammer scale.
Speaker 15:
[36:41] What is that?
Speaker 16:
[36:42] When kingdoms fall, they become ruins. The ruins fade into the mountains and hills, but even as the ruins turn to dust, the hammer scale remains.
Speaker 15:
[36:53] What is it?
Speaker 16:
[36:55] When my hammer strikes the steel, it leaves behind hammer scale. I cannot see it, but it remains forever.
Speaker 15:
[37:05] Okay. Okay, so it's microscopic iron dust. It disappears into the soil, but it's always there.
Speaker 16:
[37:16] You must look for that which you cannot see.
Speaker 10:
[37:19] Right. Okay.
Speaker 15:
[37:23] Traces of them, I can't see.
Speaker 16:
[37:26] We cannot help but leave traces of ourselves behind, no matter how much we wish to disappear.
Speaker 20:
[37:33] Hello.
Speaker 15:
[37:34] Trinket, what's up?
Speaker 10:
[37:35] Nothing.
Speaker 3:
[37:36] I got bored.
Speaker 15:
[37:38] Bored?
Speaker 1:
[37:39] And a little anxious. Also, I think Eldin got a little annoyed that I kept picking up my landline for an update.
Speaker 6:
[37:45] Just a little annoyed.
Speaker 1:
[37:46] Where's Verge?
Speaker 15:
[37:48] There. A little anxious. Trying to work it out with some target practice.
Speaker 1:
[37:55] I see. Any news?
Speaker 15:
[37:58] How are we doing, Eldin?
Speaker 6:
[37:59] Deidre has made contact with a point person down in the cave there, making their way to the access point now. Meanwhile, everyone else is putting on quite a show.
Speaker 2:
[38:08] Bartender, my man!
Speaker 16:
[38:11] You guys got a jukebox?
Speaker 21:
[38:12] We want to play some Billy Joel.
Speaker 23:
[38:14] I'm movin out! Ba-da-da-da, bang-a-bang-a-pow! You guys got movin out?
Speaker 9:
[38:20] No, Allentown!
Speaker 23:
[38:22] No, no, no, no, no. Here is the proper trajectory. You start with movin out, then kick it up a notch with big shot, then you bring it back down with New York state of mind, then you bring the heat with... You may be right, but I may be crazy! You, Bartender!
Speaker 24:
[38:51] Okay, okay. We are out of ding-dongs, but we are going with a two-for-one special for snowballs. Would anyone like snowballs?
Speaker 21:
[39:01] Snowballs over here! Snorts, you want a snowball?
Speaker 12:
[39:04] I do not want your balls.
Speaker 6:
[39:06] Everything seems to be the appropriate level of ridiculous at the moment.
Speaker 1:
[39:09] You really think this is going to work?
Speaker 15:
[39:10] The whole thing hinges on the fact that Minsky would never expect us to try and free all the people he's got trapped down there. He thinks no one knows where he's keeping them. There's no way he's going to say, but what if they have a mushroom witch? Now all we have to do is keep his attention on the casino and we should be good. This part is the easy part. The hard part will be the completely impossible part that involves a ship that probably doesn't exist.
Speaker 1:
[39:42] Leif, I've got to ask you something.
Speaker 16:
[39:44] What?
Speaker 1:
[39:46] You've been pretty resistant to this ship everyone's talking about.
Speaker 15:
[39:52] The True Trans Traveler?
Speaker 1:
[39:53] Yeah, I mean, you really hate this idea.
Speaker 15:
[39:55] I do.
Speaker 1:
[39:56] Do you think maybe you've gotten a little desensitized to, you know, all this?
Speaker 15:
[40:05] All what?
Speaker 1:
[40:06] Well, there's a space dinosaur over there. Verge has four arms. I'm full of mushrooms. The whole Frank situation, a mountain that travels through the universe, a diner that does the same thing. But with the ship, there's this wall of doubt. And you, you don't think that's weird?
Speaker 15:
[40:29] Quilandus. That was the name of the planet I was on before I got here. My arm turned black. So did my foot. The only thing that saved me was the frozen shit of a giant walrus thing that I set on fire to stay warm. I walked for hours in cold that could kill a friggin Inuit. And before that, I had to save us from the bad guy by picking up a gun and shooting my friends, hoping to God that I didn't kill them. Where was my magical sled to carry me to safety, Trinket? I'm not oblivious to all the insane shit that I've seen, but if I depend on it, if I just hope that it's going to be there, I think that's a good way to get dead.
Speaker 1:
[41:27] You know, sorry to be a witch about it, but that brain of yours and the actions you take and the magical spaceships and the traveling mountains, the spirits move in all of those things, Leif. For me, there's no difference between them.
Speaker 15:
[41:52] I don't know how to calculate for the movements of the spirits, Trinket.
Speaker 1:
[41:56] I think you do. But I understand you need to call it something else. Try to have a little faith sometimes, Leif. Just because you're smart doesn't mean you know everything. Trust me.
Speaker 15:
[42:15] Smart person's disease.
Speaker 3:
[42:19] What?
Speaker 15:
[42:19] One time a friend of mine told me I have smart person's disease. Smart people, such as myself, suffer a side effect of our smartness, where we think everyone else is stupid, just because we're smart.
Speaker 5:
[42:40] Exactly.
Speaker 15:
[42:42] Hey, I've got a question for you.
Speaker 3:
[42:44] Okay.
Speaker 15:
[42:45] Down in the caves, Deidre just ran into someone I know.
Speaker 4:
[42:51] Really?
Speaker 15:
[42:52] I knew them in another universe.
Speaker 9:
[42:55] That's weird.
Speaker 15:
[42:56] It's statistically impossible, but it's not the first time it's happened. I've been to a billion universes at this point, but I keep running into people I know. What's that about?
Speaker 1:
[43:13] It's really beautiful.
Speaker 15:
[43:14] Sure, but what does it mean?
Speaker 1:
[43:15] I don't know. People become bonded with each other in all sorts of ways that we can never know. Maybe people have a way of sticking together that we can't really understand.
Speaker 15:
[43:30] Ugh, I hate big questions.
Speaker 1:
[43:34] I know.
Speaker 15:
[43:34] I've got too many of them right now.
Speaker 1:
[43:36] Yeah, yeah. There's a lot going on with you right now, but, hey, I think I might be able to help you out with one of those.
Speaker 15:
[43:53] Oh, yeah?
Speaker 1:
[43:53] Well, you were saying that you were in one place, and then suddenly you woke up here in Hood's Pocket, right? Yeah. You don't remember how you got here?
Speaker 5:
[44:03] No.
Speaker 1:
[44:05] I think I can help you with that.
Speaker 5:
[44:07] How?
Speaker 1:
[44:08] Well, it's a little, you know, witchy.
Speaker 15:
[44:14] You're going to cast a spell on me or something?
Speaker 1:
[44:16] Well, no, not exactly. But I think I know a way that we can walk you through your memories, like we're walking on a beach.
Speaker 15:
[44:28] A beach?
Speaker 1:
[44:28] Yes.
Speaker 10:
[44:30] How?
Speaker 1:
[44:31] Well, it involves the Astral Plane.
Speaker 15:
[44:36] The Astral Plane?
Speaker 1:
[44:38] Yes.
Speaker 15:
[44:39] Trinket?
Speaker 1:
[44:39] Hey, I know. I know how it sounds, but I think it's possible.
Speaker 10:
[44:48] Okay.
Speaker 15:
[44:51] Maybe I deal with all this stuff first?
Speaker 1:
[44:53] Yeah, that's probably a good idea.
Speaker 15:
[44:58] Okay, the Astral Plane.
Speaker 1:
[45:00] That's right.
Speaker 15:
[45:03] Sure!
Speaker 12:
[45:03] Yes.
Speaker 17:
[45:04] Leif.
Speaker 12:
[45:05] Yeah.
Speaker 17:
[45:06] We're here.
Speaker 12:
[45:06] Okay.
Speaker 15:
[45:08] That should be where the rock wall is the thinnest. Remember that ball of goo I gave you?
Speaker 17:
[45:13] Yeah.
Speaker 15:
[45:13] Take it out and stick it to the wall.
Speaker 20:
[45:15] Okay.
Speaker 17:
[45:16] Okay, it's on.
Speaker 15:
[45:17] Now, that other thing I gave you, it looks like a stick with a string sticking out of it.
Speaker 17:
[45:22] Yes.
Speaker 15:
[45:22] Stick it inside the goo. After you pull the string, you'll have 10 seconds.
Speaker 20:
[45:27] Okay.
Speaker 17:
[45:28] What is this stuff, Leif?
Speaker 15:
[45:29] Just a simple mixture of household products, Deidre.
Speaker 17:
[45:31] Okay. Okay, I'm pulling the string.
Speaker 15:
[45:35] 10 seconds.
Speaker 17:
[45:35] Let's go. Holy shit!
Speaker 15:
[45:47] Nice work.
Speaker 17:
[45:48] Household products, huh?
Speaker 15:
[45:49] Everybody's got a bomb under their kitchen sink, Deidre. Did you manage to make a hole?
Speaker 17:
[45:54] Yeah, yeah, it worked.
Speaker 10:
[45:56] Okay.
Speaker 15:
[45:57] That should lead all the way out to the ocean. Good luck.
Speaker 20:
[46:00] Thanks.
Speaker 17:
[46:02] Verge is okay?
Speaker 15:
[46:02] Target practice.
Speaker 17:
[46:04] Got it. Kind of wish I was on the casino team right now. That sounds like fun.
Speaker 6:
[46:10] It's about to get less fun, but that's no concern of yours. Report back to us when you've reached the evacuation point.
Speaker 17:
[46:16] Okay.
Speaker 15:
[46:16] What's up in the casino?
Speaker 6:
[46:17] Minsky has sent someone to monitor the casino floor.
Speaker 15:
[46:21] Who?
Speaker 9:
[46:21] Sluggo.
Speaker 15:
[46:23] Great.
Speaker 22:
[46:26] It's called a scorpion bowl. It's gin, rum, tequila, and then dark rum, little splash of pineapple, then a shot of flaming rum in the middle, and a straw. You know, scorpion bowl.
Speaker 23:
[46:40] Yo, yo, do not forget the cherries.
Speaker 12:
[46:42] Okay, boss. I'm on the casino floor.
Speaker 2:
[46:44] Good.
Speaker 11:
[46:45] Wait there until we see someone make them.
Speaker 12:
[46:47] Sure thing.
Speaker 9:
[46:48] Frank. Uh, yeah.
Speaker 2:
[46:50] What's up?
Speaker 6:
[46:50] Casually look to your right.
Speaker 5:
[46:53] Okay.
Speaker 2:
[46:55] Casually looking?
Speaker 6:
[46:57] Do you see the eight-foot purple robot?
Speaker 2:
[47:01] I do. Oh, my God. Jesus Christ. What the fuck is that thing?
Speaker 9:
[47:04] That's Sluggo. He's a thugbot.
Speaker 10:
[47:08] Oh.
Speaker 3:
[47:09] Huh.
Speaker 23:
[47:10] Gee, I wonder what his job is.
Speaker 6:
[47:12] We need to take him off the board.
Speaker 9:
[47:14] Copy that.
Speaker 23:
[47:16] We take him off the board? That's right.
Speaker 3:
[47:18] Okay.
Speaker 23:
[47:20] How do we do that?
Speaker 6:
[47:21] Minsky sent him down to wait for our next move.
Speaker 23:
[47:25] Yes.
Speaker 3:
[47:26] Perfect.
Speaker 2:
[47:27] Wait, what is our next move?
Speaker 6:
[47:28] We don't have one, but Minsky doesn't know that.
Speaker 23:
[47:32] Okay. So what do we do then?
Speaker 6:
[47:36] We act like we're making our next move.
Speaker 23:
[47:38] Sure.
Speaker 3:
[47:39] Got it.
Speaker 23:
[47:41] By doing what?
Speaker 9:
[47:42] Do you see the hallway to your left?
Speaker 23:
[47:45] Yeah.
Speaker 6:
[47:46] Head towards it and act like you're trying to act casual.
Speaker 2:
[47:49] Wait, how do I act like I'm...
Speaker 23:
[48:00] I am going to casually walk down this hallway.
Speaker 5:
[48:07] BRB!
Speaker 23:
[48:10] Be right back!
Speaker 6:
[48:12] Amazing work, Frank.
Speaker 11:
[48:13] That one there, where's it going?
Speaker 12:
[48:14] Looks like he's walking towards the freight elevator.
Speaker 9:
[48:17] Here we go.
Speaker 15:
[48:18] Follow him.
Speaker 12:
[48:18] Sure thing, boss.
Speaker 9:
[48:19] Doug.
Speaker 24:
[48:21] Yes, I'm here.
Speaker 15:
[48:22] See that purple robot heading towards you?
Speaker 24:
[48:24] Purple? Oh my goodness. What do I do?
Speaker 15:
[48:29] Don't worry. He's going to walk right past you.
Speaker 24:
[48:32] I really hope so.
Speaker 15:
[48:33] Play it cool.
Speaker 24:
[48:33] Uh-huh. Zagnut? I've got Zagnut bars here. Okay, he just passed me.
Speaker 15:
[48:47] Hit the first switch on your beverage cart.
Speaker 24:
[48:49] Uh-huh. Okay, first switch, done.
Speaker 15:
[48:53] That should cut off Sluggo's comms. He's all yours.
Speaker 6:
[48:56] This should be an interesting experiment.
Speaker 15:
[48:58] Experiment?
Speaker 9:
[48:59] Eldin, where am I going?
Speaker 6:
[49:01] There should be a freight elevator in front of you.
Speaker 23:
[49:03] Yeah, how do I open it?
Speaker 9:
[49:04] One moment.
Speaker 6:
[49:08] Get inside.
Speaker 9:
[49:14] And wait.
Speaker 2:
[49:23] Hey, hi, hi, hi.
Speaker 12:
[49:25] Where are you headed?
Speaker 5:
[49:26] Huh?
Speaker 23:
[49:30] Is this not the bathroom?
Speaker 12:
[49:32] It's the freight elevator.
Speaker 23:
[49:33] Oh, oh my God, now I see. The signage in this place, am I right? It's just, I mean, it is very confusing.
Speaker 6:
[49:48] So, Frank, like I said, we need to take Sluggo off the board. I'm going to close the door to the elevator in a moment. Just do whatever comes naturally.
Speaker 23:
[50:01] God damn it, Eldin.
Speaker 21:
[50:04] Okay. I have now gotten the hang of this game, which means everyone here is in trouble.
Speaker 12:
[50:15] It is your turn.
Speaker 21:
[50:16] Snorts, we had a whole conversation about patience. Do you remember?
Speaker 6:
[50:23] Hello, June. We need to inject a little more chaos onto the casino floor. Get Snorts to throw one of his little temper tantrums, won't you?
Speaker 24:
[50:32] Twist my arm.
Speaker 12:
[50:33] I am not twisting your arm.
Speaker 21:
[50:35] I am not talking to you, shorts! Gee!
Speaker 12:
[50:38] Who are you talking to?
Speaker 21:
[50:39] Excuse me, dealer. I ordered some chicken tendies like half an hour ago. Not sure what kind of place you're running here.
Speaker 12:
[50:46] You have ordered no chicken tenders. You don't know! Take your turn.
Speaker 21:
[50:53] Okay, okay, fine. Here we go. Taking my turn.
Speaker 7:
[51:05] Chopping broccoliii.
Speaker 21:
[51:09] Chopping broccoliii. Chopping broccoliii.
Speaker 9:
[51:15] Chopping broccoliii.
Speaker 1:
[51:18] We be chopping broccoliii.
Speaker 12:
[51:19] Stop singing that song!
Speaker 21:
[51:21] Every time you talk to me, I have to start over.
Speaker 9:
[51:25] Chopping broccoliii.
Speaker 13:
[51:28] We've got a problem.
Speaker 12:
[51:30] What?
Speaker 13:
[51:31] Snorts.
Speaker 12:
[51:32] Why will you not take your turn?
Speaker 13:
[51:36] They really need to stop letting him into casinos.
Speaker 11:
[51:39] Where is Sluggo?
Speaker 13:
[51:41] Uh, I don't have him.
Speaker 11:
[51:43] He was headed for the freight elevators.
Speaker 13:
[51:44] Okay, the video feeding elevators has gone dark.
Speaker 11:
[51:47] Gone dark how?
Speaker 13:
[51:49] I don't know how.
Speaker 11:
[51:53] This isn't Verge, this is something else.
Speaker 13:
[51:56] What is it?
Speaker 11:
[51:57] I don't know. Where is Steve?
Speaker 6:
[52:02] Celeste, what's your status?
Speaker 22:
[52:03] Well, turns out the bartender makes a hell of a scorpion bowl. Wonderful.
Speaker 6:
[52:08] What else?
Speaker 22:
[52:09] The entire casino floor has somehow turned into a bar brawl.
Speaker 6:
[52:12] Hard not to admire June's ability to create total chaos.
Speaker 22:
[52:16] What am I supposed to do?
Speaker 6:
[52:18] We're about to pull the rug out. Frank may need help getting out of the freight elevator.
Speaker 10:
[52:22] Okay.
Speaker 15:
[52:22] Doug, are you ready?
Speaker 24:
[52:24] Um, getting pretty crazy down here.
Speaker 10:
[52:26] Okay.
Speaker 15:
[52:27] It's the second switch on your beverage cart.
Speaker 24:
[52:29] Okay, I'm ready.
Speaker 3:
[52:30] Okay.
Speaker 10:
[52:32] Hit it.
Speaker 24:
[52:33] Here goes.
Speaker 21:
[52:51] Uh, guys? The blackout is on purpose, right?
Speaker 6:
[52:57] It's all part of our fake plan, Joe.
Speaker 17:
[53:14] Okay. Okay, there it is. We're supposed to wait right here.
Speaker 18:
[53:20] All of us.
Speaker 17:
[53:21] Yes, we need to get everyone to the mouth of the cave, and the ship will be right outside the cave. When it shows up, we all make a run for it. But we don't have a lot of time.
Speaker 18:
[53:34] That is hard for me to believe.
Speaker 17:
[53:35] I know, I know it is. Have you heard of The True Trans Traveler?
Speaker 18:
[53:46] Every desperate person has heard of The True Trans Traveler.
Speaker 17:
[53:50] It's coming. It's coming soon. Maloo, I know.
Speaker 18:
[54:00] The problem is that all of us got stuck in this place because we decided to trust someone we didn't know.
Speaker 17:
[54:06] I know.
Speaker 18:
[54:09] You cannot ask me to do that twice.
Speaker 17:
[54:12] I'm asking. I'm asking twice. Maloo, come on. I just blew a hole in the wall. That's got to mean something.
Speaker 18:
[54:25] Your name is Deidre. Yes. We were all very tired, Deidre.
Speaker 17:
[54:35] I know.
Speaker 18:
[54:38] We were all very tired when our journey began. But now we have given up hope. But you are here, telling us to have hope again.
Speaker 17:
[54:51] That must feel terrible. That must make you feel even more exhausted. People keep telling you to believe in them and they keep letting you down.
Speaker 18:
[55:04] Why do so many think that desperate people are like property? You take them, you throw them away when you want. What do we do?
Speaker 17:
[55:17] Maloo, you haven't done anything except live in the world. They made that a crime. Despite all of this, you have to believe that out there somewhere are people who don't think this is right. People who will try to stop it when they see it.
Speaker 18:
[55:40] I don't want to believe, but I think they're out there somewhere.
Speaker 17:
[55:49] They're right here, Maloo. It's me. I can't let this happen. So I'm here, trying to stop it. I need you to believe in people one more time. Just one more time.
Speaker 18:
[56:11] One more time.
Speaker 6:
[56:31] Do you see it?
Speaker 10:
[56:32] I see it.
Speaker 6:
[56:33] Push it up and to the left.
Speaker 10:
[56:35] Okay.
Speaker 5:
[56:38] Frank?
Speaker 23:
[56:42] Hey, Celeste, your drink is on fire.
Speaker 22:
[56:45] It's a scorpion bowl.
Speaker 10:
[56:46] Oh, right.
Speaker 9:
[56:47] Sure.
Speaker 22:
[56:50] What is this junk everywhere?
Speaker 9:
[56:54] The junk?
Speaker 5:
[56:55] Oh, yeah.
Speaker 23:
[56:59] It must have been here when I got here.
Speaker 10:
[57:03] Is that a robot head?
Speaker 2:
[57:05] It is a robot head. Don't worry about it.
Speaker 23:
[57:08] Eldin, what are we doing?
Speaker 6:
[57:12] All right, everyone. Abandon the casino and make your way to the alley. When the lights come up, we'll be gone, and hopefully Minsky will be very confused.
Speaker 7:
[57:21] Oh, I know I certainly am.
Speaker 23:
[57:22] Okay.
Speaker 2:
[57:24] All right, everybody, move. Let's go.
Speaker 13:
[57:35] Okay, we're back up. What the hell just happened?
Speaker 8:
[57:40] I'm confused.
Speaker 13:
[57:42] About which part?
Speaker 11:
[57:45] We just lost power in the casino for several minutes.
Speaker 13:
[57:48] Yeah?
Speaker 11:
[57:50] So in a predictable world, I would be dead when the lights came back up.
Speaker 14:
[57:55] Not to make assumptions, boss. You appear to be breathing in and out.
Speaker 11:
[57:58] I am, in fact. Where's Sluggo?
Speaker 13:
[58:02] Hang on, is that?
Speaker 11:
[58:04] What the hell happened to him?
Speaker 14:
[58:05] Looking like he took a trip down the stairs. Yet there he sits in the elevator.
Speaker 11:
[58:09] Where is Steve?
Speaker 13:
[58:12] Steve?
Speaker 3:
[58:12] This is...
Speaker 11:
[58:15] This is something else. This isn't Verge making their move. This is something else.
Speaker 13:
[58:21] What is it?
Speaker 11:
[58:23] No.
Speaker 9:
[58:25] No.
Speaker 11:
[58:26] That can't be it.
Speaker 13:
[58:28] What?
Speaker 11:
[58:30] Bring up the video feed for the caves.
Speaker 20:
[58:31] The caves?
Speaker 11:
[58:32] Just do it.
Speaker 13:
[58:33] Okay.
Speaker 20:
[58:35] Oh. Who is that?
Speaker 11:
[58:37] Patch through the audio.
Speaker 13:
[58:38] You're live.
Speaker 19:
[58:40] Steve? Well, good evening. How's your night been, Minsky?
Speaker 11:
[58:45] What the hell are you up to, Steve?
Speaker 19:
[58:46] Well, I don't know what you mean.
Speaker 11:
[58:48] What are you doing in the caves, Steve?
Speaker 19:
[58:51] Well, I was looking for the bathroom.
Speaker 11:
[58:54] I showed you my operation down there in confidence, Steve. I thought we had an understanding.
Speaker 19:
[59:00] I'm pretty sure our understanding was you thinking that I was a fucking idiot.
Speaker 11:
[59:07] Steve, what's the plan here? You had your friends come to the casino and distract me, and now what? You're going to steal literally thousands of people from me? You think I can't stop that before it happens? Where are you going to put them?
Speaker 19:
[59:23] You really expect me to lay out my whole plan for you right now? That really wouldn't make me an idiot.
Speaker 11:
[59:29] You should think twice before crossing me like this, Steve.
Speaker 19:
[59:33] And you should think twice before messing with a Coos Bay dirt bag!
Speaker 13:
[59:39] He cut the feed. What is a Coos Bay dirt bag?
Speaker 9:
[59:45] Fucking earthlings.
Speaker 11:
[59:47] Francis.
Speaker 13:
[59:48] What's up, boss?
Speaker 11:
[59:50] Head down to the caves.
Speaker 9:
[59:52] Deal with Steve, would you?
Speaker 13:
[59:57] Sure thing, boss.
Speaker 18:
[60:10] That's the last one of them.
Speaker 17:
[60:12] Oh my god. This is so many people.
Speaker 18:
[60:16] I hope you know what you're doing. We've all decided to trust you.
Speaker 5:
[60:21] Okay.
Speaker 17:
[60:23] Okay. Um, everyone, can I have your attention? Everyone?
Speaker 18:
[60:30] Everybody, shut the fuck up.
Speaker 17:
[60:34] Thank you. Um, my name is Deidre. I know so many of you are scared right now. I'm scared too, but I swear to god we have a plan, okay?
Speaker 18:
[60:46] I think a lot of them want to know who you are.
Speaker 17:
[60:49] Oh, alright. Apparently, you all would like to know who we are. I guess that's understandable. I kind of came out of nowhere. Um, so who are we? Well, honestly, we're not anyone. We're not freedom fighters or anything like that. Honestly, I think we're just like anyone else. We're normal people who found ourselves sitting by and watching something terrible happen. And we couldn't sit by and watch anymore. It's kind of a weird moment. Your feet just start moving and suddenly you're in the middle of it. We risked a lot to do this. We didn't have much of a choice. It was like it chose us. So now, well, now we've come to the part of the plan where we just have to cross our fingers and wait. Don't lose hope, everyone. We're almost there. Thank you, Maloo.
Speaker 18:
[62:04] I've decided this is the last time I'll ever trust somebody. I hope I don't regret it.
Speaker 17:
[62:10] Honestly? Me too. Do you hear that?
Speaker 18:
[62:15] Is that music?
Speaker 17:
[62:17] I think so.
Speaker 18:
[62:18] From where?
Speaker 17:
[62:45] Holy shit.
Speaker 18:
[62:58] I can't believe it.
Speaker 17:
[62:59] Everybody, move it.
Speaker 7:
[63:11] Hello, Steve.
Speaker 20:
[63:14] Where are you hiding, pal? Leif.
Speaker 15:
[63:16] Okay, Steve, don't panic. You've got that thing I gave you.
Speaker 19:
[63:20] Yeah, yeah.
Speaker 15:
[63:21] Turn it on.
Speaker 19:
[63:23] What do I do with it?
Speaker 15:
[63:24] It'll do all the work. It's a microwave drill. It'll scramble his insides, but it takes time to work. Give it as much time as you can.
Speaker 19:
[63:33] He's got knives for hands, Leif.
Speaker 13:
[63:36] Shit! There you are! Great to see you again, Steve-a-Rino!
Speaker 19:
[63:42] H-hey, Francis!
Speaker 13:
[63:43] You know, Steve, I hope you understand that I think you're a real cool guy.
Speaker 24:
[63:49] Bye!
Speaker 20:
[63:50] Hate that it has to end this way.
Speaker 19:
[63:52] You know, the things you say, they don't quite match the things that you do, Francis.
Speaker 13:
[63:58] I know. It's my curse. I would have been much better off entertaining kids.
Speaker 19:
[64:04] I think that's probably a terrible idea, Francis.
Speaker 13:
[64:07] Oh, well. It's my lot in life. You know, I tell people all the time, things will go a lot quicker if they don't struggle.
Speaker 10:
[64:24] Nobody ever listens. I'm just trying to look out for them.
Speaker 19:
[64:28] Francis, wait, I need to tell you something.
Speaker 13:
[64:31] Okay, better make it fast.
Speaker 19:
[64:33] Everything I say is a lie.
Speaker 10:
[64:36] Okay.
Speaker 19:
[64:36] Also, I'm lying.
Speaker 20:
[64:39] You're lying.
Speaker 19:
[64:40] Yes.
Speaker 13:
[64:41] But everything you say is a lie.
Speaker 19:
[64:43] Right.
Speaker 13:
[64:43] Which means you're lying about lying.
Speaker 19:
[64:46] I am.
Speaker 13:
[64:46] Which means you're telling the truth.
Speaker 19:
[64:48] Yes.
Speaker 13:
[64:48] But you're always lying.
Speaker 19:
[64:50] Always.
Speaker 13:
[64:52] Hey, wait a minute. Are you trying to logic bomb me?
Speaker 19:
[64:57] Maybe.
Speaker 13:
[64:57] Oh, come on, Steve.
Speaker 10:
[64:59] That stuff hasn't worked for a hundred years.
Speaker 19:
[65:01] Worth a shot, I guess.
Speaker 8:
[65:02] Ain't for effort.
Speaker 19:
[65:04] Shit.
Speaker 13:
[65:04] Think about it this way, Steve. There's a million ways to kill a guy that's much faster and easier, but Minsky makes me do it this way. What kind of bananas is that to put into a paper shredder?
Speaker 10:
[65:19] Uh, what?
Speaker 13:
[65:22] I said, cut find of pajamas is Plattosut Pinto the Gaperbredder.
Speaker 19:
[65:31] Francis?
Speaker 13:
[65:32] Blut blind, blue, blue, bluh nose, blizz, bluh, Blonto Blue Bladder Bladder.
Speaker 19:
[65:39] Leif, I think it worked.
Speaker 15:
[65:42] That was a close one.
Speaker 19:
[65:57] Weird that I feel bad now.
Speaker 15:
[65:59] He was about to kill you, dude.
Speaker 19:
[66:01] Yeah, nobody's perfect, but so what do I do now?
Speaker 15:
[66:05] Steve, I can't believe I'm saying this, but we're in the clear. Head to the evac point.
Speaker 19:
[66:14] Seriously?
Speaker 6:
[66:14] Get back to Hood's Pocket, Steve. We've got a long night of making fun of Leif ahead of us.
Speaker 12:
[66:19] Holy shit!
Speaker 17:
[66:29] Are all of your people on board?
Speaker 18:
[66:31] I'm the last one.
Speaker 17:
[66:32] Okay. I can't believe this worked.
Speaker 18:
[66:35] Where do you think we're going?
Speaker 17:
[66:37] I don't know, Maloo. I know it's better than here.
Speaker 18:
[66:41] Are you sure you don't want to come with us? It's dangerous here.
Speaker 17:
[66:47] I already found my magic ship.
Speaker 3:
[66:50] Go.
Speaker 18:
[66:52] I won't forget you.
Speaker 9:
[67:00] off, children.
Speaker 1:
[67:01] It's gonna be a lonely ride.
Speaker 9:
[67:04] In a good way. Whoa.
Speaker 6:
[67:17] Well, now I have nothing but questions.
Speaker 4:
[67:19] No one is ever allowed to doubt me again.
Speaker 9:
[67:23] Hey, baby. Hi.
Speaker 6:
[67:25] Deidre, we've got the door to the cave sealed. Now even Minsky can't get in. Head out to the mouth of the cave, on to the beach. Celeste will pick you up there.
Speaker 17:
[67:34] On my way. I just got us in a lot of trouble, didn't I?
Speaker 4:
[67:39] Well, I can't imagine Minsky being thrilled about this, but we can deal with that tomorrow. Right now, I don't think even he knows what's going on.
Speaker 17:
[67:48] But he will.
Speaker 4:
[67:49] Don't worry about that now. Just get back to me. June's already started the party at the Sheeps Eye.
Speaker 17:
[67:55] Sounds like fun. Private party first, though, okay? Just you and me.
Speaker 4:
[68:01] That's my favorite kind of party.
Speaker 9:
[68:15] Ah, shit!
Speaker 14:
[68:17] Alas of note. You know what everyone else fails to see, Bugaboo? What's that, Battlepope? That we embody the spirit of the underestimated. Just when they done forgot about us, there we are, in the clutch, snatching defeat from the mouth of victory. Ma'am, if you would be so kind, our employer would like a word.
Speaker 11:
[68:54] I wish people could understand what it's like to live in that. People don't know what it's like to fight for your life every day. I was taught a very valuable lesson there.
Speaker 9:
[69:07] That there must be an order to things.
Speaker 11:
[69:10] There must be a hand that guides everything.
Speaker 9:
[69:14] That people, collectively, are idiots and need to be told what to do.
Speaker 11:
[69:23] I know that sounds strange coming from a career criminal, but I found the rules of crime to be even more strict than those of law and order.
Speaker 9:
[69:33] The rules in my world are clear. They are severe.
Speaker 11:
[69:38] And judgment is swift. I know you're out there listening to me.
Speaker 9:
[69:47] I know we can work together on this. Let's add a little order to the world, shall we?
Speaker 4:
[69:57] Hey, Minsky.
Speaker 9:
[69:59] Well, be still my heart. I'm sure you're worried about Deidre. Please, don't worry. She's being treated very well.
Speaker 4:
[70:12] Oh, for your sake, I hope so.
Speaker 9:
[70:16] Let's get down to it. It's a tale as old as time.
Speaker 4:
[70:20] Me for her.
Speaker 9:
[70:21] That's right.
Speaker 4:
[70:23] What the fuck does he want with me, Minsky?
Speaker 9:
[70:27] To be quite honest with you, Verge, I don't care. I was sent here to do a job. I'm about to complete that job.
Speaker 11:
[70:35] And then after that, we will be able to return to doing the good work of...
Speaker 9:
[70:41] Well, you know, the work we do.
Speaker 11:
[70:44] Frankly, this whole thing has been an unnecessary distraction. But he moves in strange ways, my employer.
Speaker 4:
[70:52] If you've hurt her, everyone dies.
Speaker 11:
[70:58] Verge, if I don't return with you to the galaxy brain, we're all dead.
Speaker 9:
[71:05] See, I've got skin in the game too. I bear no malice whatsoever towards this woman.
Speaker 11:
[71:13] Come to me here, we'll put her in your ship, and send her back to her little mountain.
Speaker 4:
[71:20] You realize, I'm gonna kill you the first chance I get, right?
Speaker 9:
[71:28] Of course, I'd expect nothing less.
Speaker 11:
[71:32] But that's what I'm talking about.
Speaker 9:
[71:34] Verge, rules, clear, severe, swift.
Speaker 11:
[71:43] They come for us all eventually.
Speaker 9:
[71:46] It'll be lovely to see you again.
Speaker 15:
[71:59] Where are we at?
Speaker 6:
[72:00] They've just made the trade-off. Deidre is in the Phoenix, and I'm flying her back now.
Speaker 15:
[72:04] So, this is up to us now.
Speaker 6:
[72:06] We have one last advantage. What? We didn't know if Minsky was here for you or Verge.
Speaker 5:
[72:12] Now we know.
Speaker 9:
[72:14] Which means...
Speaker 15:
[72:16] They have no idea I exist.
Speaker 10:
[72:18] That's right.
Speaker 6:
[72:20] I hope you remember how to get into the galaxy brain.
Speaker 15:
[72:22] I remember.
Speaker 11:
[72:25] Testing one, two, three. Looks like Deidre left her phone behind. This message is for the good people of Hood's Pocket. My business with Verge has concluded, but I'm afraid there are one or two action items that need to be addressed before I go. I'm afraid that little town of yours has cost me a lot of money today. Quite ingenious what you did. I'm honestly still not sure how you did it. But regardless, a transgression like this can't go unanswered.
Speaker 15:
[73:02] What the fuck is that?
Speaker 11:
[73:03] The sound you're hearing is the sound of Battlepope and Bugaboo igniting the chemical pits.
Speaker 16:
[73:09] Oh shit.
Speaker 11:
[73:12] You're new in town, so you probably don't know what that is. It's an ocean of toxic chemicals that's deposited right next to Raxeus. Everyone is always worried what would happen if the chemical pits blew. Now we're going to find out. As we speak, a cloud of toxic gas is now making its way across Raxeus. Now, Raxeus has a way to defend against such things. The buildings, they seal themselves. I don't imagine you have that same protection up in the mountains. And that is, of course, where this cloud of poisonous gas is headed next.
Speaker 9:
[74:06] Most of you will be dead by morning.
Speaker 11:
[74:10] But you do seem to be quite an industrious bunch up there, so just in case I miss a few of you, I will be sending a cleanup crew to check and make sure all the good work's been done. Cleanup crew? They're called Eels. I can't wait for you to meet them.
Speaker 15:
[74:29] Oh no.
Speaker 17:
[74:29] Leif!
Speaker 15:
[74:30] I heard!
Speaker 17:
[74:30] What is he talking about?
Speaker 3:
[74:33] Leif!
