Palisade is a show

0:02

about empire revolution, settler colonialism,

0:05

politics, religion, war, and

0:07

the many consequences thereof. For

0:09

a full list of content warnings, please check

0:11

the episode description. Did

0:16

we want to try to find Gur before this pops

0:18

off? No, I think

0:20

I thought Keith was saying the opposite. So I don't

0:23

want to, I don't want to like

0:25

make it do anything rash before

0:27

the symposium. When

0:29

you get to the final dressing room

0:32

where Gurs of Rock is and there

0:34

is a presence there that I think

0:36

is immediately alluring

0:39

and overwhelming. If

0:42

a figure could have any

0:46

future, if you could dream

0:48

of something for yourself, what

0:50

would it be if you

0:52

walk forward consumed by this

0:54

dream? It's eclectic. There's

0:59

no holding figure back here. Figures walking forward

1:01

is opening the door to

1:03

reveal Gurs of Rock who

1:06

turns to face you, glowing,

1:10

bright like, like a saint

1:12

in a painting. But

1:15

where the spider-like head should be, there

1:18

is only the golden orb of

1:20

future. The divine that

1:22

Gurs of Rock once stole, the

1:25

divine that for centuries, for millennia,

1:27

for tens of thousands of years has

1:30

been passed back and forth between

1:33

those who'd follow their dreams. You

1:36

immediately know in your final moments

1:39

that the world is about to change again. But

1:43

this other version of what opposition could

1:45

be bubbles up inside of you and

1:48

it's seismic. And the temple

1:50

of the threshold begins to shake.

1:53

People begin fleeing throughout this

1:56

place. And as

1:58

the world shakes. figure

2:00

and future and

2:03

completely still. It's as

2:05

if the world doesn't shoot around them. They're

2:08

simply generating all of the power

2:10

for this facility from a

2:13

drop of ambulance

2:15

moving through this machine. I

2:18

know it's evil but also it's funny and kind of cute.

2:21

There is a wand, like

2:23

a mechanical line in the end. Asepsis

2:29

asks you to return to the ship. It

2:32

is a large, dark room

2:36

which is strange, like the

2:38

lights aren't on. But it

2:40

is probably around the same

2:42

scale as that first

2:45

and second floor mini

2:48

generator hamster wheel Goldberg

2:50

machine. It is a big laboratory with

2:52

the lights off. The

2:56

door shuts behind you and as

2:58

the door shuts some lights automatically begin to

3:01

power on. There

3:03

are like mini

3:08

labs in this one big laboratory.

3:10

It's all open concept but

3:15

there is like, okay in the back left corner there is one

3:17

project, in the back right corner there is another project. In the

3:19

middle of it is a huge, almost looks like a

3:23

halogen light bulb made of metal. And

3:27

then, and gigantic, bigger

3:29

than you. Halogen is not the

3:31

right light bulb, that's not what

3:34

I mean. I

3:36

mean, maybe it is, yeah, okay, sure. Kind of

3:39

a wide bulb and then flat on the

3:41

top is what

3:43

I'm thinking of. Like

3:47

a giant CO2 cartridge for a whipped cream maker? No,

3:51

no, no, flatter than that. Bulb shaped like a light

3:53

bulb. But

3:55

again, not that type of halogen,

3:57

flat kind of a

3:59

bulb. It bulbs out, it opens

4:02

out and then it bulbs out.

4:04

It flares out. Like a flood light?

4:07

I guess kind of like a flood light. But

4:10

this doesn't matter. This is not important. I mean, it's

4:12

an important device, but it's not what it looks like.

4:14

It's not a particularly important thing. And

4:17

then just a bunch of

4:19

other little labs throughout this

4:21

place. One

4:23

of them has reinforced

4:26

glass. There's like a

4:28

reinforced glass prison

4:31

cell, effectively, that has one of the

4:33

motion delegates in it that we've talked

4:35

about. And

4:38

in that one, there is a spritzer.

4:41

There's like a big air

4:44

spritzer that every 30 seconds

4:46

spritzes a liquid into the air

4:48

in there. There is a

4:52

very traditional looking desk with a bunch

4:54

of big long desks with a

4:56

bunch of blueprints on it. This

5:00

is Exynchester March's personal laboratory.

5:04

Oh, shit. OK. You

5:07

really upgraded, Corey. Yeah. In terms

5:09

of dads. Yeah. OK, let's

5:11

calm down. Do you know who my dad

5:13

is? It's Exynchester March. Can you imagine? Different

5:19

type of horrible army brat, you

5:21

know? Many

5:24

strange projects here. We

5:28

got to start digging through these, right? Like. Is

5:32

the janitor robot in here with us? No, left

5:34

you. Or behind us. Left you. All

5:36

right, cool. Yeah, all right.

5:38

Is there any particular project that

5:40

catches your eye? Is there any

5:43

particular type of thing you're looking

5:45

for? Are you reading

5:47

the room or just following uncertainties? Are

5:49

you? Would it be worse

5:51

because you come in contact with, ambulance

5:54

is a, a, a, I don't

5:56

know how to say words. Yeah, I

5:58

always say ambulance, but I think. It's not really,

6:00

you know, people say it's an axiom,

6:03

right? It would

6:05

be would it be worth looking for

6:07

any stuff on axiomatic like activity things

6:09

like that See if they're studying that

6:11

there would definitely be stuff. Yeah. Yeah

6:13

for sure for sure

6:16

shit Yeah,

6:19

like there is a model of the

6:21

generator thing downstairs that's built on top

6:23

of a ticker here This is this

6:25

is a big space. This is like,

6:27

you know a giant two

6:29

floor studio lab You know

6:31

deal the model and bring it back. I Okay,

6:34

it is it is like it is like an

6:36

architectural. Yeah, I mean it is it would

6:38

not fit on a single table I own fair. I

6:41

just wanted to check Yeah,

6:43

I appreciate you take pictures of it. You could you know, this

6:46

is Austin tables Walker. We're talking about that's right

6:48

I've got a podcast with table of the name.

6:50

You'd think I'd have a big table. No No,

6:53

that's a little table. Yeah Well,

6:57

I can roll a read the room. Okay,

6:59

you're probably better off doing that than me Yeah,

7:02

I have a one I'm

7:04

I'm not very sensitive like fizz bees been doing a

7:07

lot of roles and Cory has not been doing a

7:09

lot of roles We're making sure I'm still involved in

7:11

this case. Yes true Cory destruct

7:13

decisively, but it gets a robot by crying. That's

7:15

the most In character thing

7:18

I've done like this entire Yeah,

7:24

give me a give me read the room

7:30

Which is two six plus your sense which

7:33

is one an

7:35

eight Okay, I

7:37

remember that you do have that extra hole so

7:40

you can yeah, I'm intending to use that thing

7:42

at this time. So questions I

7:52

What is being overlooked or obscured here,

7:54

there's a lot right two

7:57

things jump to mind one is That

8:00

motion delegate that we talked about

8:02

before which is a reminder those

8:05

motion factories could have resurrected motion

8:07

by now But they're not they're

8:09

moving slower because they are effectively

8:11

shaving off new delegates from motion

8:13

that seemed to be like You

8:17

know extra special in some way That

8:21

one I described as having a weird spritzer in

8:23

the room It's being

8:25

spritzed with ambulance over and

8:27

over again. It's being like

8:29

axiom axiomatized in some way

8:32

There are experiments happening to these motion

8:34

delegates to see if we can adjust

8:37

them in different ways, right? I said

8:39

we that's not I'm not extra Chester

8:41

March extra. Chester marches. You're reading the

8:43

logs You

8:45

right exactly. Yeah, we are we you know

8:47

exactly it is Finding the

8:50

audio log and hitting play as you

8:52

look at each of the watch the

8:54

weird Installations

8:56

here each of the weird lab unit

8:58

side of X and Chester marches weed

9:00

growing closet. Yeah, that's right And

9:03

and each each, you know at the end of this

9:05

the extra Tester March is gonna show up and you're

9:07

gonna have a big boss fight It's gonna be really

9:09

annoying but like that's how first person games go. So

9:11

they gotta put a boss right in the

9:14

second thing that's being overlooked here is that big

9:16

weird light bulb in the middle is a reproduction

9:20

model that is unfinished of

9:24

Something called the edict system

9:27

the edict system edict

9:30

edict stands is

9:32

a I'm

9:35

sorry the nachronism that's not true a initialism

9:39

for electronic divine

9:41

interface and Control technology

9:45

this was a machine that was used or the original

9:47

one was a machine that was used 2500

9:50

years ago or something in the middle of One

9:53

of the pre one of the wars. It

9:56

was the war between the

9:58

then much smaller divine principality

10:00

and then the Orion

10:02

and the kind of

10:04

successor states of the

10:06

Orion conglomerate and the

10:08

autonomous diaspora, the divine

10:10

collaborate. And it

10:13

was a machine that an

10:15

Orion scientist built to deactivate

10:19

divines basically. It can disrupt

10:21

divine activity. It was

10:24

used at the kind of climax of the divine

10:26

clash, which is what that war was called, when

10:30

Orion betrayed the divine

10:32

collaborate and

10:35

killed a bunch of divines or at least

10:37

disrupted them badly enough that then they were

10:39

killed in combat. It's not

10:43

like all of them everywhere. It's a

10:45

limited area thing, but it is effectively

10:47

a kill switch for divines inside

10:49

of a given area. So

10:54

important, valuable, definitely a sort of

10:56

thing that could be used. You know, I

10:58

talked before about you wouldn't set up a

11:00

bomb without having a kill switch on it.

11:02

This could very well be that kill switch.

11:06

Those are the things that are being openly

11:08

overlooked that are important. Again, like

11:11

I did not write down every weird experiment this

11:13

dude has, but you don't want to come up

11:15

with some, they're here, you know. Hey, things

11:20

in the

11:23

room are turning on and off. It's

11:27

like power fluctuation is happening.

11:30

I'm torn between

11:33

how does the delegate feel

11:36

versus where can I find

11:38

maybe some I was asking Corey,

11:40

where can I find where

11:42

can I find X X being like a

11:45

larger main shared laboratory like you

11:48

don't need documents of reference like

11:50

building X or whatever. What

11:53

do you think it'd be more useful? That,

11:56

oh that's tough. Because

11:58

I feel like we're kind of in the

12:00

like the

12:04

bosses often. Yeah, it kind of feels

12:06

like, wouldn't the general lab maybe have less

12:08

use of that? I think it might have

12:10

more stuff that's currently

12:12

in development, but like this

12:14

is going to have the like... Or... No,

12:17

go ahead. Maybe...

12:21

Maybe how is X at risk or in peril?

12:25

Although no, that's actually just like an

12:28

actual like, what are their risks and peril? Yeah. That

12:31

is interesting. I mean, it's

12:33

both, right? Because those are literal things. Those

12:36

are... You're not... You

12:38

know, if someone used it on you right now,

12:40

what they would learn is you've been tagged by

12:42

this system... Yeah. ...by pretending to be this person,

12:44

you know? Which is what I don't want. Uh-huh,

12:46

okay. That's what I

12:48

was like, I don't know if that's... Yeah,

12:56

maybe... I

12:58

think the thing that's maybe truest to Thedby's

13:01

character right now is to interrogate

13:03

like, how does that delegate in

13:05

there feel? What's

13:08

their state? What

13:13

question is that? Is that... How

13:15

does X really feel? Okay.

13:21

They have effectively... You

13:25

get a sense of kind of what this project is

13:27

effectively. It is all of

13:29

the... This

13:34

is dire. The thing I'm about to say is kind of

13:36

dire and fucked up. Wow,

13:39

really? Yeah. The delegates

13:43

spent eons being servants. They

13:47

are... You know, I keep saying

13:49

this, they are like bits of

13:51

a divine, you know, rendered into

13:53

smaller human scale individuals. They

13:55

still have those connections, but they don't have...

13:58

They may have some of the affinities of the divine.

14:00

They don't necessarily have the power and

14:03

they have been oppressed through social means.

14:05

We've talked about eclectic.

14:07

We've talked about how there

14:10

are times that you would traditionally

14:12

need to go get repair parts or

14:15

go in and get fixed up. And

14:19

thankfully, there is enough of the

14:22

resistance movement here. The cause has ways

14:24

around that. But historically,

14:27

those things were all completely controlled

14:29

under lock and key by the Fabriel

14:32

Duchy. So they were abused in

14:34

that way. But fundamentally, you were free people.

14:39

You weren't synthetic robots.

14:42

You weren't like a

14:44

vacuum cleaner who also could carry a

14:47

tray or make some tea or paint

14:50

a building. Delegates were

14:52

always people. And

14:54

the thing that the motion delegates

14:56

are being experimented on is could we

14:59

make some that weren't? And

15:02

the answer seemed to have been no until

15:05

ambulance was fed

15:07

into them. And

15:10

effectively what happens is ambulance goes

15:13

in there and empties

15:15

out the mind and

15:17

leaves a sort of shell that

15:19

has all of the capacities or empty out

15:21

the right parts of the mind that

15:24

leaves the right capacities and affinities

15:26

and abilities, but allows for there

15:28

to be a reconstructed, more

15:31

servile, less free delegate.

15:35

A move from a sort of socially

15:38

imposed slavery to quite

15:40

literally you

15:42

have the phenomenal logical experience of existing

15:44

but none of the freedom. You

15:47

just let this little bouncy blob

15:51

of goob move through your brain a little

15:53

bit. And next thing you know, you are

15:55

empty headed and ready for Exynchester March to

15:58

fill your head with orders. Uh,

16:01

uh, this would be, uh, your ambulance clock is one of four,

16:04

by the way. Yeah.

16:07

Great. Good. Um,

16:11

yeah, that's not, uh, and

16:13

that's like a permanent state. It doesn't

16:15

feel much of anything anymore. That's

16:18

terrifying. Mm-hmm. And

16:21

you're left with just a sheen of simple

16:24

happiness, right? The ambulance leaves you

16:26

that way. Where you're like, yeah,

16:29

right away, happily. And

16:32

it has to be maintained? No. I

16:35

mean, the machine parts do you got to, if it's

16:37

arm breaks, you got to fix that. But no, this

16:39

is, this is like, um,

16:43

this is the model unit effectively.

16:45

Right. Um, this is like

16:47

March me like, I bet I can make it,

16:49

I bet we could do it faster. I bet

16:51

we could do it with a liquid spritz instead

16:53

of having to bore a hole into the back

16:55

of their heads and feed it in manual. You

16:57

know, dude

17:00

sucks. Damn. But

17:03

my fake dad's worse than my real dad. I

17:07

think we all knew he sucked. I don't, I just don't think

17:10

we knew he was like Jeffrey

17:12

Dahmer suck. Uh, speaking of your

17:14

real dad, speaking of devotion, we have to, we have

17:16

to talk about something about devotion. Oh,

17:19

okay. Not in this room, but

17:21

generally speaking, I talked to you about, I

17:23

said all of them, the things are fluctuating. All

17:25

of the power levels in

17:27

this room seem to be fluctuating. Things were

17:30

turning on and off while you were looking

17:33

at them. Lights began to

17:35

flicker. Brian, you could see

17:37

that throughout the entire facility. Um,

17:40

doors are opening and shutting. Uh,

17:42

light bulbs are exploding. Uh,

17:44

half of these alters that are in this

17:47

space just shut down. Um,

17:49

one of them, the, all of

17:51

the, uh, ammunition, um, uh, in its,

17:53

in its, uh, gun just

17:56

goes off and explodes. Um,

17:59

and. You see similar

18:01

things happening all around you

18:03

down in the i'm in

18:05

the stadium. Third, Die as

18:08

just shuts off and. As

18:10

Chapel Chase is able to score

18:13

victory, spearing his opponents in the

18:15

chest kill all the lights in

18:17

the arena go off to the

18:20

the Jumbotron herself. And

18:22

a classic new see this to.

18:25

There are a subset of people

18:27

around you who dropped to need

18:29

to feel as they're overwhelmed. You

18:33

see a a camera drone in

18:35

the sky, shudder and fall. You

18:38

see someone else in a. In

18:41

a ton of her hovered

18:43

nickel like office Easy didn't

18:45

intend to. Something is happening

18:48

with technology all round. San

18:51

that thing that was a

18:53

mechanical wine grows into it

18:55

is an oral. Polio.

18:59

Is sobbing. The

19:02

Plenty: a wave inner mixed with. All.

19:05

The rest the motion particle

19:07

and about the little bits.

19:09

autonomy of autonomy itself. The.

19:12

Things that are com

19:14

area have been overwhelmed.

19:17

In. A moment. I

19:19

said it before. perennial are not splinter

19:22

off again. She can't run the clock

19:24

back down. She can't give it another

19:26

go for the first time in thousands

19:28

of years. In countless cycles, she is

19:31

alone and has too much how. I

19:34

said it's you earlier dray. But Hermione

19:36

broken in this moment even know the

19:38

wheel. She wanted to break the law

19:40

and so there is a sob. To

19:43

out the whole of for Dallas. A

19:46

thing that started as a machine

19:49

wine was her trying. To

19:52

pull any a wave which is suffused

19:55

itself into everything. Is.

19:58

Stopping it is. Mccain

20:00

Gray his arm is

20:03

echoing throughout the galaxy.

20:06

Everything. He

20:08

skipping a beat. For

20:11

just a few seconds. The

20:22

radio wave in some places but

20:24

once and allows technology that has

20:26

been frozen to blink on. Complex

20:29

machines. Things that were too

20:32

complex to operate under the

20:34

should have deafening power of

20:36

the Perennial. We are able

20:38

to now food on other

20:41

things which had their wattage

20:43

overpowered so that they would

20:45

operate even with the funny

20:47

always hold. Ah, those are

20:50

now too strong and. And

20:52

now I can go forward.

20:57

What it is Time. To.

21:05

I think you can see it

21:07

from of their prime. One of

21:09

those little blue blinking lights mother's

21:11

things that you you saw I'm

21:13

in the sky on the sensors

21:15

of the the Blue channel back

21:17

you know I don't seat months

21:19

ago for who now. What

21:22

Are those? One.

21:25

Of the mic nights, no one

21:28

triggers. He

21:30

the mirage bomb. That devotion

21:32

has been slowly. Not

21:37

to wear the leadership of the Trial and mirage. No

21:41

one pulls the trigger the just

21:43

go off. And

21:50

suddenly. All

21:52

at once. a

21:55

blue of light and color

21:57

film discuss And

22:01

Palisade is in the

22:03

Twilight Mirage. Whoa!

22:07

Holy shit! I

22:11

think across the Bonzer Valley people are looking

22:13

up, seeing the sky

22:15

change color and they're wondering... You

22:19

know, they stopped the sun from

22:21

blowing up, they brought us this

22:23

land back. Did they,

22:26

could they, could Millennium Break have

22:28

done this? In

22:32

Cinderkast, the mountains

22:35

where Greypool

22:37

work, it's dark. But

22:40

even here, that switch

22:43

mechanical smell is actually

22:45

instantly replaced with

22:47

the fragrance of the

22:50

Mirage. Something that I don't know that we ever really

22:53

talked about, but for people who've lived

22:55

here, it's not normal, it's new.

22:58

There's something calming but expansive about

23:00

the air. In

23:03

the crown of glass in the southeast, a

23:06

town which is already haunted by

23:09

the specters of a broken queen's

23:11

ambition, doors

23:14

begin to open, electronically locked doors

23:16

begin to open, shields falter, and

23:18

the Iconoclasts begin to spread going

23:21

where they shouldn't. In

23:24

orbit above the planet, Lucia

23:26

White Star's flagship Lander-1

23:28

falters. Her

23:31

helmsman instantly activates his physical

23:33

reentry shield and deploys the

23:35

comical wings and begins to

23:37

direct the ship towards a safe

23:39

dish landing. But

23:41

I don't think Lucia notices this, like they

23:43

keep looking at the sky. She

23:45

didn't know that something so beautiful

23:47

could exist. She

23:50

wanted her. And

23:57

people all around the galaxy respond

23:59

not to... the Twilight Mirage blooming. They're

24:01

not there for that, but they are there for

24:03

the change in the

24:05

perennial way, the shift in Calmeria,

24:07

the way power itself changes. I

24:13

think on another world, on another battlefield,

24:15

two generations of the Rooks feel

24:18

it happening first, a

24:21

moment before it ends. The

24:25

need to look around and arrest your

24:27

response on safety. No

24:30

communication. On

24:37

a millennium break based somewhere at

24:40

Tesla, the criminal extraordinaire

24:42

was so close to finally getting

24:44

out of all this revolution bullshit.

24:46

Since it's been the last few

24:48

years, shaving a little extra off

24:50

of every deal made on behalf

24:52

of them on the break, they

24:54

squirreled away a little golden parachute

24:56

for themselves. Look

24:59

at them now, computers sparking

25:01

ships crashing. They're

25:04

terrible. And maybe

25:06

they could skim even later on. The

25:12

palace built into a fresh

25:14

dry and a foam nebula, passively

25:17

arises, fear of the arrest of

25:19

the volume through, from space

25:21

to space with the true leaders of

25:23

the pack. And

25:28

if not for the subtle stutter of

25:30

the world itself, and the quick

25:33

thinking of Cassin's bodyguards, the true

25:35

believer, Corinne and Corinne, he's recalled

25:37

a container. And

25:51

sitting in cover, watching

25:53

on through a distance, secure,

25:57

Rhea Kanadai and the Divine

25:59

Arbitrage, exchange banter

26:01

and plans. They

26:05

weren't ready for this. Exactly. But

26:09

they knew the power would fall. They

26:13

knew that would be a moment of a weakness. We've

26:27

entered a weird time jump. You

26:29

will not feel it as one. The

26:32

days are day long for you. But

26:36

the world outside of the Mirage

26:38

moves faster. For

26:43

every hundred minutes, it's

26:45

a thousand minutes out there. For

26:49

every hundred hours, a thousand hours. We're

26:57

in weird place now. And

26:59

in this moment, what's happened is, everything

27:01

around you is shutting the fuck down, or

27:03

is skipping, or is

27:06

breaking. You

27:09

get a call and then it gets cut off. Hunting

27:12

can't contact you, Brian. Eclectic?

27:20

You're alright. You're a delegate. The

27:23

perennial wave doesn't affect Divines. Fisbee,

27:27

you might have died, if

27:29

not for integrity, which

27:32

closes around you like a

27:35

shell. You can

27:37

feel something pulling at the

27:39

innards of your wiring and your

27:41

power banks, and integrity

27:44

is there to prevent it

27:46

from ruining you. Is

27:48

this external or internal? It's

27:51

internal. This

27:53

is deep within. This is the part of you

27:55

you have to do. have

28:00

been calibrated to exist in a world where 100 watts

28:02

is 100 watts and suddenly 100 watts

28:05

is fluctuating between 30 watts and 3000 watts, you know?

28:10

I'm kind of imagining this like a

28:13

shielding that appears

28:16

around like all the circuitry and wires

28:18

and stuff. Yeah. Like a sheath

28:21

kind of thing. Yeah, that's a really good way

28:23

to think about it. Yeah, totally.

28:28

But the stuff in here is fucked, you know? But

28:31

this is part of why Jesset

28:34

in the middle of the arena is

28:36

fine. Jesset's machine is based on

28:39

motion, is built with motion technology,

28:41

is built with divine technology. And

28:43

the dais is not, not yet at least, has

28:46

not been blessed by any sort of divine. And

28:48

so Jesset runs that

28:50

machine through. And Brian, you

28:52

can see this happening with your own eyes. Your

28:55

scouter explodes off the side of your head

28:57

like in Dragon Ball Z. And

29:01

what you see Jesset like, oh, this is a

29:03

fucking opportunity. I don't know what happened, but goes

29:06

from machine to machine and

29:09

destroys them, these prototypes, these one

29:11

of a kinds, trying

29:13

to stop the future of the

29:16

next tier of Altar from appearing.

29:19

Everyone is fucking screaming. The

29:21

machines that still happen to work because

29:24

they got lucky, begin to move like

29:26

the Altars in this in this space,

29:28

begin to try to make way towards

29:30

the stadium. But you know,

29:32

they are not made from divine stuff.

29:36

Not at all, really. They are

29:38

in fact infused deeply with

29:40

Calmeria, which has been,

29:42

which is more of a problem than a

29:45

solution in this moment. And

29:48

so they just start going down. Wow, wonders who

29:50

invented that. Yeah, Brian's got those

29:52

knockoff particles. That

29:55

is the state of things. How's Asepsis? Asepsis

29:58

is fine, Asepsis is divine. Yeah.

30:00

Which like we haven't said this outright I think

30:02

maybe right but like the reason

30:04

you know in the in the mechanics of armor

30:07

star Profane

30:09

is weak to divine perennial stuff is

30:12

is weak to divine stuff perennial

30:15

and going back to the perennial the original perennial wave

30:17

one of the things I said that the time was

30:19

that the perennial wave You

30:21

know destroyed all sorts of technology and

30:23

overwhelmed it but not divine stuff But

30:27

going back to partisan the reason that hollows

30:29

are more power or the Hallows are more

30:31

powerful than hollows was because of Not

30:34

just the fact that they had divine blessing the divine

30:36

blessing protected them from the

30:38

perennial wave a Perennial

30:40

has never been able to raise a

30:42

hand against a divine despite being an

30:44

adversary Because again, she

30:47

comes from a world of divines She

30:49

went back in time to protect divines

30:52

her own divine so the vines that

30:54

she was originally Cited

30:56

with forever ago not the ones that

30:58

would turn out to become the divine

31:01

Interpretality, but the ones that were from the divine sleep

31:03

the ones that were in the divine

31:05

collaborative And so divine

31:07

technology in this moment, whatever that

31:10

means, you know It

31:12

is it is subjective because it is

31:14

subjective in a strange way, right? We

31:18

know that the vines are culturally You

31:20

know a cultural Concept

31:22

there they are not

31:24

a true thing of the

31:26

way an apple is not an orange or something,

31:29

right? but They

31:32

are nevertheless. It is her subjective

31:34

Vision and she can't but look

31:37

at even divines alike Motion

31:40

and say yeah, that is a divine. That is a thing like

31:42

me Despite it all I

31:45

am more like motion than I

31:47

am like Brian Unless

31:50

there was a divine Brian in which case the Brian she

31:52

would be like that too, right? Fuck

31:57

okay chaos move We've

32:01

entered chaos. Let's go! Calvary

32:05

ball time. That

32:07

was crazy. Uh-huh. What

32:10

do you do? I guess

32:12

I drive to where else is. Or

32:15

walk? Or walk?

32:17

Yeah, I don't... I mean,

32:19

that's the thing, right? I guess,

32:21

Brian, you get a message, finally,

32:24

from hunting. Hunting

32:26

is through asepsis, and it's on your

32:29

regular ass communicator because your scouter blew

32:31

up. And,

32:33

I guess, do

32:35

you have an asepsis drone

32:37

with you? Um,

32:40

yeah. I usually keep them on me. You know

32:42

I got that thing on me. Uh-huh.

32:46

I guess one of them, you know, kind of

32:48

begins, literally speaking, which I

32:50

don't think we've ever heard it do. It's

32:53

trying to make noise. It's trying to talk to you.

32:56

It's trying to deliver a message from hunting.

33:00

What do they sound like? What type of voice do these little

33:02

guys have? I think they're, like, chittery.

33:05

Okay. Okay, you know... Okay, wait, wait, wait. I know exactly

33:07

what they sound like. You know that... Okay. Um,

33:10

imagine Yoshi, but, like, when

33:13

you reverse

33:16

the pitch of a song to make it sound really

33:18

fucked up. You reverse it?

33:22

I don't even know what music is. Okay.

33:25

Not Albert and the Shimmer. When you try

33:27

to take a... Oh, here's

33:29

this pop song in A chord or

33:31

whatever it is. It's like playing a... Oh,

33:34

okay. I thought it was like playing a vinyl record at a different speed.

33:37

If you had that... A reharmonization of Yoshi in a

33:39

minor chord. ...filky

33:41

guy, the way it sounds.

33:44

Okay, wait, wait, wait. What

33:46

do you mean you thought was... What if it

33:48

was the Yoshi

33:50

sounds to the lizard videos, but

33:53

it sounded creepy? So

33:55

that's the best that I could explain it. Oh,

33:58

have you not seen Slow Down Yoshi? heard

34:00

brrring hop from a

34:03

normal adult man boy out there. No.

34:10

I'm looking up Five Nights at Freddy's Yoshi. I want

34:12

to hear the slowed down Yoshi doing a Smash Brothers

34:14

jump. Don't

34:21

worry. Yoshi slowed down.

34:25

No. This is the guy. Yeah.

34:28

It's just a drunk guy. Hee-ha-ha. Hee-ho.

34:31

Hee-ho. Sorry. That's the

34:34

side. Fluke shocka-pocka. This is my voice acting.

34:36

If you talk to me in a PlayStation

34:38

1 RPG, I just go, uh-huh. Wait, is

34:40

this just Charlie's Friday? Oh, you've got to

34:42

go to the most replay. You have

34:44

to go to the most replay at 1.07. Oh,

34:46

that's funny. Oh, that's funny. Oh, that's

34:49

funny. Oh, that's funny. Oh,

34:51

that's funny. Oh, that's funny. Oh, that's funny.

34:54

You have to go to the most replay at 1.07. Is

34:56

this just Charles Martinet? It might be. Sped

34:59

up. Okay,

35:02

wait. Most replay. No. This

35:06

is it, actually. Oh,

35:08

woah, woah, woah. Yo,

35:14

yo. I

35:16

know. I need a better effort. Um.

35:28

So, I couldn't hear the 1.07 over other

35:31

people talking, so I had to go back to it. Yeah. Woah,

35:34

woah. Woah,

35:36

woah. I

35:39

hate this. You're

35:43

welcome. I had another reason to hate Asepsis.

35:46

Yeah. How did they get to that?

35:48

I'm so curious how they workshopped that and

35:50

got where they got it. I had it

35:52

accidentally playing in both the Discord preview and

35:54

on Chrome. Or on my phone.

35:57

I was like, I paused it. Who's still making

35:59

these? noises. It's doing that and

36:01

it is hunting. It's a message from hunting.

36:13

And the message is hunting coming

36:15

through. Asepsis opens it when these

36:18

Asepsis dealies opens its mouth and

36:20

hunting says, ships okay.

36:24

We got to set it down but Asepsis protected

36:26

it. Hello.

36:28

Hi. Hello. And

36:31

never over on the blue

36:33

channel. There's a

36:35

little Asepsis drone that goes message

36:38

from Brian. And

36:40

then you go hey, hello. Oh, hey,

36:42

captain. And these

36:47

are all framed in message from

36:50

a step is literally

36:52

running a message of service at this point. This

36:54

is this is people who use

36:56

the voice function in the

36:59

iPhone text. Oh, God.

37:05

People are doing that. It's wild. Do

37:07

you need pickup? asks

37:09

hunting. What's going on? asks

37:11

hunting. I have to

37:13

find the others. Look

37:16

out for flares. Got

37:19

it. Cool. Alright. Um

37:24

okay, that's I wanna

37:27

I wanna create a flare gas. Okay.

37:29

Oh yeah, you can do that. That's a thing you can

37:31

do, right? We'll make some stuff. Jerry,

37:34

ring it up. When you take

37:36

random parts or objects and create to find

37:39

something useful out of them. Yeah, I think

37:41

that I may be just like um finding

37:43

shit on the roof. Um

37:46

maybe there's like everything. I think Disneyland

37:49

for some reason but they do

37:51

a thing sometimes where like what happened Disneyland

37:53

have you been on? Well,

37:56

they like they have like um a

37:59

thing that's spray things on the ceilings

38:01

of the buildings. So when

38:03

fireworks go off, like they don't

38:06

get fucked up. And

38:08

I'm just thinking of like places around here

38:10

having like similar

38:12

security measures in

38:14

terms of like a weird piece of a sprinkler

38:17

or like a weird piece

38:19

of a camera that's on a ledge or

38:22

things of that nature. So

38:26

roll plus no on a 10

38:28

plus. All

38:31

right, what's your no? To be

38:33

six plus one. All right.

38:35

That's what my no is. I

38:39

like that Brian is really just like, yeah, I'm

38:41

pretty good at everything. I'm like, I'm okay at

38:43

everything. Yeah, you know, plus

38:46

one across the board, zero at talk, but plus

38:49

one on everything else. All

38:51

around her. That's a six. Oh, that's a six.

38:54

That's a six. That's a fucking failure is

38:56

what that is. Marking

38:59

spotlight. I have a move

39:01

where I can help or hinder in

39:03

times of urgent need across before

39:06

anyone else can act. Do you want me

39:08

to use my telepathy? What is that? Excuse

39:10

me? I have flash. You may

39:12

communicate with other channelers or other channelers. I don't know

39:15

if Brian counts. Yeah, Brian is not

39:17

a channeler. Yeah, I'm going to help me out last week.

39:20

You're not a channeler either. I am a

39:22

channeler. Oh, you are

39:24

a channeler. You're a channel. I was literally

39:26

with channel. Damn shit. Okay.

39:28

Well, next time. Sorry, bud. We're not going to

39:30

have girls to rock and toe. That's

39:33

how it goes. I didn't. I

39:35

could be alive. No, I would. No, there was no helping that. No,

39:39

unfortunately. Though

39:42

you do have a lot. You should read

39:44

this whole move really. Sorry, Jeanine. You should

39:46

read this whole move out loud. Yeah, sure.

39:48

Well, yeah, just just to have it. You

39:51

may communicate with other channelers instantly over

39:53

great distances of time in times of

39:55

urgent need, sending words or even

39:57

feelings and sensations to help or hinder fact. faster

40:00

than anyone or anything else can act so

40:02

quickly in fact that you may do it

40:04

after a role has been made. Additionally, dead

40:06

characters may still help or hinder you, their

40:08

spirits able to speak with you from beyond.

40:11

That's wild. Yeah, that's wild. That's

40:14

wild that Cory would take that crazy. I know. That's

40:16

crazy. We know anyone dead? A couple.

40:20

Also, wait,

40:22

is Brian our only non-channeler?

40:25

At this point, yeah. Because the classic took

40:27

a move that gave him

40:29

channel. Frigian was also not

40:31

a channeler. Yeah. Yeah,

40:34

okay. And weirdly,

40:36

Brian, Brian could be a

40:38

channeler. Brian could take a move that

40:40

Brian historically was a pilot, but

40:43

in the Calmeria era has not

40:45

been a pilot of Calmeria

40:48

Mac, which is interesting. Like, doesn't do magic.

40:51

Brian kind of like made a cake and then

40:53

brought it to the table and said, enjoy, and

40:55

then left the room. Yeah. Mm-hmm.

40:59

That's right. Exactly, right?

41:02

Don't trust this cake. Again, could have been Steve

41:04

Jobs or doing this and decided this. Mm-hmm.

41:08

I know you're in like the Steve Jobs. You

41:11

still get that shitty turtleneck though.

41:14

Damn. Damn. Damn. I've

41:18

been thinking about Brian as wearing the

41:21

rock turtleneck with the fanny pack.

41:23

But you're right, it's the Steve

41:25

Jobs. It is the Steve Jobs

41:27

turtleneck. Turtleneck. Yeah. One's

41:29

casual, one's for work, you know? Yeah.

41:31

You don't need to limit it. Yeah.

41:33

Yeah. Anyway, you failed

41:35

this role, which

41:38

is not good. Doesn't

41:41

Keith have a thing that helps with that? I

41:43

can give someone confidence. Did you get a

41:46

one? Nope. No.

41:49

Okay, so no. Rip. But

41:51

not advantage, you can't give advantage. No, you can

41:53

only give confidence. Yeah.

41:56

Uh, oh, hold on. Oh, no.

41:58

Uh, I'm not on me. I'm on

42:00

Brian So I have

42:03

a given van yeah, huh? Yeah,

42:05

cuz I do have a thing that gives me

42:07

advantage in that same spot And then I have

42:09

stuff that gives clue to me,

42:11

but no my none of my extra

42:14

stuff gives advantage Brian

42:19

Something you you're trying to

42:22

pull up. You're trying to collect parts up on

42:24

this rooftop and There

42:27

is the sound of an

42:29

explosion below you something in

42:31

this building just Just

42:35

exploded and the whole

42:37

thing is going to collapse Take

42:40

the peril In

42:43

an explain enough in a collapsing building. What's the no

42:45

take the risk? Understable

42:49

I mean I think that I actually think that like

42:52

Yeah, I take the risk Unstable

42:55

but but you were in a

42:57

fucking perilous situation. You have

42:59

to get out of here safely somehow immediately

43:08

Clever metagaming and

43:10

taking the peril. This is your risky later on.

43:12

Oh This

43:15

is Is

43:17

this real? Yeah, this is real. You're defenseless.

43:19

Oh I am I'm

43:21

not on the carrier. You're not on the carrier. Oh, so

43:23

you were defenseless currently go me.

43:25

All right Okay,

43:28

also a sepsis sounds like the backbeat

43:31

from Radiohead's back trips That's

43:34

what the voice oh, that's better I can

43:36

probably do that If

43:39

you put an auto tune through that synthesizer, oh

43:41

that like like the what do you say the

43:43

backbeat should be noise? Yeah. Oh In

43:47

the real okay, I think I know what you're talking about

43:49

Yeah in the first like 10 seconds. It's like

43:52

a revolving sound just like the band

43:54

noise almost Yeah, you mean yeah, like the

43:56

literal like synth sound that's constant in the

43:58

background. Yeah That's fun.

44:00

That's a great sound Yeah,

44:13

you're defenseless And

44:15

you have to get out of here somehow immediately Immediately

44:19

this whole building is gonna come down. I'd

44:22

love to be a character that I had a parachute Yeah,

44:25

I don't see that listed here. No, I don't see

44:28

like Jess at the swoop in and Get

44:30

your ass That was part

44:32

of the idea with the

44:34

flares. Yeah, you can get kind

44:36

of why I was doing that, huh? Signal

44:40

people, etc. Yeah, but

44:43

now I'm You're

44:46

going to fall on the building Um,

44:50

I'm like laughing except that we are now

44:52

one step from Brian dying. Uh-huh

45:00

My weird gosh, that's me here.

45:03

No, there's a brand one battle. Yeah. Yes, because

45:05

it's like the dust. Yeah, but like oh, yeah

45:09

Okay, I have a decent defy and

45:11

I have a decent no so

45:17

Is this a Dispel

45:20

uncertainty is like find a I Don't

45:24

know that this is a fire escape type building

45:26

but like, you know, no, definitely

45:28

not There's depth that would be ugly. They would never

45:30

put a fire escape on a building in this am

45:32

I seeing any yellow paint on this? Nathan

45:38

Drake Brian makes too much sense

45:42

I don't think so because you're on the roof.

45:44

There aren't walls really sure Okay,

45:47

um, you know, I think that

45:49

there is there is If

45:52

you're trying to like dodge your way through this if you're trying

45:54

to like Nathan Drake your way through this I think that is

45:56

just a phi. I think that is a weather the storm You

45:59

are running through a building building as it collapses you

46:01

are trying I think it's and I

46:03

think that it is I I

46:06

don't know that it's I think you

46:08

might be rolling a disadvantage you just kind of you

46:11

know oh but I okay

46:13

but I came through I can't I walked

46:15

into the building to get under the roof so

46:17

I can go through the building to get out yeah

46:19

but the building is collapsing so I want to make

46:21

sure that we have that visual in our minds and

46:24

understand that is very dangerous you

46:26

know but but yeah

46:28

less dangerous than the thing I was where I was

46:30

like maybe I can find some footing to

46:32

crawl down the side of it you know that

46:34

yeah yes I will give you that that is worse

46:39

yeah

46:43

maybe I'm doing like a sorry to

46:45

talk about overwatch here but sort of like bizarro

46:49

symmetra situation with the

46:51

a sepsis drones where I

46:54

have like one of them in front of me

46:56

and it was just like sort of chaotically running

46:59

through this building like following

47:01

one of these drones as it runs

47:03

forward okay right yeah I

47:05

thought you meant the way that symmetra will like hold

47:08

a thing holding it and get it

47:10

like what are you doing with I

47:15

imagined her with like hover stuff for some reason than

47:17

I almost typed slash roll into

47:19

this where's the rolling you just maybe failed my

47:23

I failed Jerry regal

47:25

yeah yeah which is like trying

47:27

to make something yeah be

47:30

great to use Jerry rigger now

47:33

make yourself a grappling hook or something

47:36

well that's not fail to Jerry riggers in a

47:38

row plus

47:42

one for defy to try to

47:44

Nathan Drake your way through this building okay

47:47

and I'm gonna use my confidence here my one confidence

47:49

that I have left that is

47:51

for each of the blue drawbacks we

47:53

know yeah well

47:55

yeah I see that's why because you're using a sepsis

47:57

to like navigate you through uh-huh

48:00

Yes To find

48:02

structural integrity, right? This

48:05

is a sepsis is being like

48:07

this way is still safe The floor is still

48:09

solid here there in the columns underneath this haven't

48:11

gone out this this part isn't about to fall

48:13

apart Yeah Plus

48:18

one or one One

48:21

turn to six is okay. Well,

48:23

that's a life. You're fucking good You

48:26

make your way through this building other

48:29

people There aren't a lot of people in

48:31

here who've talked about this before but there are the people who are hired

48:33

To do the job that you were hired to do you may recall

48:37

Move stuff around and do logistics work and

48:39

maintenance and stuff And

48:42

yeah you you Ali

48:45

said they think that I'm Tom crew And

48:54

yes you you you do you Ethan you Ethan

48:56

hunt your way through the building I'd

48:59

rather say Ethan hunt the Nathan Drake. I really would sure

49:04

And yeah, you eat the hunt your way through the

49:06

building and make your way down, you know slide down

49:08

a broken You know there's a part of the floor

49:11

turns into a ramp that you have to slide down

49:13

and you have to make a little

49:15

jump over Some fire and someone

49:17

yells and like stop right there and then

49:19

like the floor falls out from under them,

49:21

you know And

49:24

yeah, you make it out into the open open,

49:26

you know air As

49:28

the whole building collapses behind you and you

49:30

get just enough distance to be safe with

49:33

an 11 especially You

49:42

know this this alterner you like

49:44

begins to move over But

49:47

like can't even fully walk because

49:49

of the the perennial wave stuff

49:52

and it's like You know

49:54

trying to broadcast out sound but only every

49:57

other word comes out it

49:59

is It is bad in here in

50:01

general. I'm just gonna start deleting some of

50:03

these these enormous use I'm gonna spin them

50:05

upside down if they're totally broken boom Easy

50:09

to do that, you know, you

50:11

just spin some tokens upside down real quick Well,

50:14

good news Brian your fan cam is gonna be on the

50:16

news tonight Yeah

50:20

It's that hard drive is even Thing

50:24

my visor is broken. Oh, no, everyone's

50:27

like, oh my god, that's Brian from the Your

50:31

face you mean Right,

50:34

that's Calvin Oh

50:38

my god the thing happened we're gonna be

50:40

called Mirage terrorist or something, huh? Yeah,

50:44

I love that. We have the sweatiest Clark

50:46

Kenton world Okay

50:48

to be fair The

50:52

the devotees are in

50:54

our organization so we That

50:58

is true that is true they

51:00

didn't pull the trigger it just happened

51:03

no, but it's it's all the same

51:05

shit Yeah, you're not

51:07

wrong Definitely when you

51:09

set up a bomb, but then you don't pull

51:11

the trigger on you don't detonate it. You're fine

51:14

Legally, you're fine It's

51:16

about the trigger which in this

51:18

right actually the person who pulled

51:20

the trigger was either You

51:24

know long view it it's Brian

51:26

short view its figure Wait,

51:29

why why is it Brian? Well, isn't

51:31

this all wrapped up with some Calmeria

51:33

shit? Oh, yeah. Yeah It's

51:36

really just even without the Calmeria You

51:39

know the real problem was people started

51:41

making technology with perennial wave in it

51:43

Yeah, that's really the thing that went

51:45

real bad here. You know if it

51:48

was just the hey The

51:51

wattage difference changed or whatever the fuck

51:53

whatever. Yeah bullshit, you know analogy I'm

51:55

making there That would

51:57

have hurt really bad. But once people started being

52:00

Like and my toaster has the perennial a bit

52:02

is wrapped up in Calmera There's a lot of

52:04

threads in this that you can

52:06

tie back to millennium break if

52:08

that's what you wanted to do If that's

52:11

if you wanted to I don't I don't think

52:13

it's true I don't think it's super dishonest to

52:15

be like don't the devotees work for a millennium

52:17

break, right? It's not that simple It's not that

52:19

simple, but they do go to

52:21

the same meetings Yeah, where they decide things

52:23

like we should attack the lone

52:25

marble group headquarters They're the non trader half

52:27

of the org that they're a part of

52:32

No, wait who who devotees No,

52:35

they're the traitor. Oh, they were the traitor half.

52:37

Yeah, you're right. Yeah, there were more trail I

52:40

thought it was the the the the

52:42

glass people the future reader people that

52:44

was the traitor half Well,

52:47

there was a traitor in there. Yeah,

52:49

like 26 traders. Okay. Yeah, there were

52:51

26 But

52:54

it's a big organization We're

52:57

talking about the dim liturgy Remember

53:01

so yes You

53:04

have all your motives that's different even T's

53:06

are just an evil cult right? Yes. Oh

53:10

My god Corey you can feel devotion.

53:12

Holy show fuck We're

53:14

in the Twilight Mirage Which

53:17

one out bass in his glory there

53:20

you can feel that there is I mean, what

53:22

is it like? It's like I don't know why

53:24

this didn't hit me until just like It

53:28

is it is like a signal

53:30

coming into tune like you've been driving

53:32

in On

53:35

the highway behind mountains and you've gone through

53:37

the tunnel and you come through the other

53:39

side and the station is clear Or

53:42

it's it's like playing a game of

53:44

telephone. You realize you've never heard devotion

53:46

You've only heard other people tell you

53:48

that devotion is speaking to you. You've

53:50

only heard a recording of devotion or

53:53

You've never you've this

53:55

is a stupid one. This one's stupid. I don't

53:57

say this one out loud first, which

53:59

is This is the thought that I had

54:02

and I recognizing that it's goofy You've

54:04

never met spider-man before you just

54:07

met one of those spider-man impersonators

54:09

in New York or LA Hollywood

54:13

The other say I don't know what you mean But

54:15

you know what I mean spider-man

54:17

helpers. Yeah, you only met spider-man

54:20

helpers spider-man's little helpers. Yeah spider-man

54:25

Yeah, the many other spider. I mean this is

54:27

this is what's happening in spider-man these days so

54:32

Yes, keep I Well, what what I want

54:34

to know it is on a scale of

54:36

one ten how happy is devotion with you? I

54:40

think question I Think

54:43

well, I think you know, a lot of people

54:45

are feeling devotion. It's not a side question. What's

54:47

your channel? Oh It's

54:49

one. It's plus one. It's about

54:51

as good as yours Yeah,

54:54

Wow. Yeah Corey.

54:56

Yeah, I I Think

55:00

something interesting happens here Which

55:03

is I need you to either What

55:09

I want you to just talk about what it

55:11

feels like to connect to real devotion it's overwhelming

55:13

right like it yeah The

55:17

volume is too loud now I've had it it's

55:20

like, you know going back to your

55:22

radio analogy It's like it's been coming

55:24

through quiet. So I've turned my speaker

55:26

system up a lot And then it's

55:28

coming through loud like normal volume. I

55:30

should filter and up Yeah,

55:33

it's when you put your headphones on and don't

55:35

realize your phone Accidentally turned the volume

55:37

all the way up in your pocket, you know Yeah,

55:40

we we We

55:43

use the eye metaphor a lot with devotion the

55:45

eye symbol is a key one and

55:48

you finally see part

55:50

of why in this

55:52

moment now with this part

55:54

of of devotion It

55:58

it wants to show you what

56:00

it sees. And what

56:02

it sees is not too dissimilar from

56:04

what we've described around the

56:07

delegates and and the vines

56:09

being effectively chained and

56:11

carved away at, except it's not being carved,

56:13

it is being siphoned

56:15

from, it is being, you know,

56:18

kind of not just caged in

56:20

but shaped, reshaped until it is

56:23

forced to give its power into, you

56:27

know, sort of like a demiurgic imposter

56:30

version of it. They've built a

56:32

fake divine that effectively is replacing the

56:34

original devotion. There will be a point

56:36

at which you feel it now, you

56:38

can see from devotion's perspective, a dark

56:41

place somewhere on one of the,

56:43

which by the way, they're up there.

56:46

You can see the planets of the choir

56:48

system. In the sky, you mean? In

56:51

the sky, there are eight other

56:53

planets and a dark sun that

56:56

the whole of the palisade system

56:59

now rotates around, including the

57:01

palisade's own sun is

57:04

now rotating around volition,

57:06

this dark orb in the sky.

57:09

And on one of those worlds is

57:11

a divine looking up from the shadow and

57:15

cannot move, cannot be.

57:17

And in time, the

57:20

worship of this false divine in between

57:23

the two of you will effectively

57:25

sap it until it's dead. And

57:28

so you either you kind of have to make a

57:30

decision here, I think, either I need

57:33

you to break your last tenant, your

57:36

shield leave none undefended while you still

57:38

stand. Or you need to

57:40

deepen it. And I think for me,

57:42

this is about a

57:44

decision about how we frame Cory

57:47

going forward. Or is

57:49

about how Cory feels

57:51

about devotion and

57:54

the devotees. And

57:56

just fundamentally like, are you we said

57:59

the the other day, right? But like, this is

58:01

the last of your three tenets. The

58:05

other two were about like

58:07

preaching the good word and about

58:09

being a sword. Yeah, this one

58:11

is less abrasive.

58:14

You're a shield leave none undefended while you still

58:16

stand. But it did come

58:18

to you from the devotee. Yeah. So you're not

58:20

sure how much it's tied to the real devotion.

58:22

But I think which is to

58:24

say I don't know that you keeping it means

58:28

being a devotee necessarily. But

58:30

it doesn't but it but it will be

58:33

ambiguous. It will be messy, you know, I'm

58:35

not pushing you to cut it. I'm just

58:37

trying to illustrate that there is

58:39

like, we're in a really interesting know,

58:41

I got you about what it would mean. Um, I

58:44

think that a lot of this is like kind

58:46

of, it's a confirmation of a lot of the

58:48

shit that Corey's been struggling with since that first

58:51

vision of right,

58:53

the original devotion, right,

58:56

where it's like, yeah,

58:58

I have been given just

59:00

enough to suspect what is going on,

59:02

but not, you know, the

59:05

bold confirmation that this

59:07

gives me that yeah, that

59:10

the devotion, the original

59:12

devotion had been corrupted and has

59:14

been like being

59:16

used in this way, like

59:18

siphoned off to become this

59:20

different entity. And you

59:23

don't see it, but you see it shadow.

59:25

Yeah, you can see the shadow of its

59:27

wings. And it's chained to the ground. I

59:30

think it's there

59:33

is like a righteous anger that kind of comes

59:35

from this, I think, where

59:37

it is like, there,

59:40

what we've done to this thing that

59:43

like, has been told

59:45

to me has been the most important thing my

59:47

entire life. And

59:49

it turns out that it has been

59:51

molded by the like greed of more

59:54

powerful people is

59:57

enough to make me just be like this. fucking

1:00:00

cult this fucking fuck the church

1:00:02

is what Corey's thinking right now,

1:00:04

you know, where it's it's just

1:00:06

like Hell

1:00:08

yeah, Corey deconstruct. Yeah, no, but for

1:00:10

real like like this is kind of

1:00:13

shit that she's been like like working

1:00:16

Towards I think this past bit where it's like

1:00:18

they Not not content

1:00:21

are they with chaining us down? Chaining

1:00:23

our wings down. They are going to chain down

1:00:25

the wings of the God that we are supposed

1:00:27

to be worshiping and that

1:00:29

is kind of the The

1:00:33

last straw I think I'm leaning

1:00:35

towards breaking the the tenant. I'm

1:00:38

leaning Yes, the

1:00:40

alternative is to keep it and say you're keeping it

1:00:42

as like a true Yeah,

1:00:46

right it'd be like I but it's it's

1:00:48

I think it's messy also that way too

1:00:50

Because I think the tenants to me have

1:00:52

always come from the cult of devotion the

1:00:54

from the church from the cult less From

1:00:56

yeah devotion itself the one that like

1:00:59

she has spoken to in

1:01:01

some ways This is how they get you. Yeah,

1:01:03

right which is like, but wait a second We

1:01:05

told you your shield leave none undefended while you

1:01:07

still stand That's the heart of our church like

1:01:09

stay with us and you're saying

1:01:11

like no that's you only start there Yeah,

1:01:13

you eventually become be a sword this kill

1:01:15

whoever did it at it You are spending

1:01:18

more time making sure the swords cut better

1:01:20

and not that the shield can take more

1:01:22

punishment, you know totally totally

1:01:26

Alright, yeah, if your channel ever

1:01:28

reaches zero this way immediately change playbooks

1:01:30

and take an additional advance. Yeah, I

1:01:33

got some ideas I'll have to do you good.

1:01:35

I'm glad cuz oh you zero channel Yeah,

1:01:39

Oh instantly next to you this

1:01:42

be Corey's final two

1:01:44

wings turn black Fucking

1:01:47

baller Boy Jess

1:01:53

it lands on top of this

1:01:56

support Mac and And,

1:02:01

you know, is able to crush it and

1:02:03

it's fucking gone. There's a little support, we

1:02:06

have to call the bench, that thing's done. And

1:02:09

it's just like tearing through stuff. And

1:02:14

then something reaches

1:02:16

out and pierces the shoulder of

1:02:19

Jesset's, I'm just going to change this from

1:02:21

Jackal Chase to Jesset City, you know, a

1:02:23

jury, pierces the

1:02:25

shoulder of the jury that Jesset

1:02:28

pilots. It is a

1:02:30

long silver extension of ambulance

1:02:34

who, with this fluctuation, is

1:02:37

no longer contained inside of

1:02:40

the little spiral building

1:02:43

that it was. It

1:02:47

is spilling out into

1:02:51

the campus. It

1:02:54

is bouncing like a ball.

1:02:56

It is landing in big,

1:02:58

fun cartoon splats. It

1:03:01

is extending out sharp spikes, destroying

1:03:04

altar after altar around it.

1:03:08

It is, you know, I've said

1:03:10

before that this is sort of a fantasy

1:03:12

season in places. Never more

1:03:14

than now when you have a fucking

1:03:17

metal slime that has a pier in

1:03:19

front of you. A kind of

1:03:22

chromatic metal creature

1:03:24

of joy

1:03:26

and violence is

1:03:29

loose and

1:03:31

is destroying this place. We

1:03:36

should all get on the same page here, I

1:03:39

think. What

1:03:41

are we, what are you doing? I have to get a

1:03:43

token for ambulance. So

1:03:47

that like bulb thing? Yeah. Um,

1:03:52

is that like temporary or like permanent? Uh,

1:03:55

historically it was temporary. You don't know

1:03:58

if it would work on ambulance. right

1:04:01

because I believe is an axiom not

1:04:03

a divine yeah right who

1:04:06

knows but well I mean we do

1:04:08

have some evidence based on what just

1:04:10

happened that it

1:04:13

might the same rules

1:04:15

might apply or similar well it's nice

1:04:17

we got out is the thing that

1:04:19

happened it wasn't hit by

1:04:21

it the thing holding no no I'm

1:04:23

yeah the content yes the containment thing

1:04:25

that it was in it was vulnerable

1:04:28

yeah but it didn't shut down right

1:04:30

right right doing its thing yes yeah

1:04:32

I thought evidence the other direction yes

1:04:34

no I gotcha yeah

1:04:37

my cons needs a better slime my

1:04:41

pitch is that maybe we should

1:04:44

use the ball B thing but

1:04:50

you know but I'm also worried

1:04:52

about making integrity scared I it

1:04:54

would hurt integrity yeah

1:04:56

yeah exactly like it would

1:04:58

turn integrity off temporarily at

1:05:01

least mm-hmm which

1:05:03

concerns me a little but sometimes you got

1:05:06

to do it would

1:05:08

also shut off it would also shut off Jess

1:05:10

it's neck right

1:05:13

and again I don't think I think that you're

1:05:16

instinct is that it wouldn't shut off ambulance maybe

1:05:20

you could I thought it would be a

1:05:22

rough one to try to retrofit it to

1:05:24

be about iconoclasts or not I can't last

1:05:26

axioms but

1:05:29

like maybe that's a direction you're

1:05:33

making it sound like it's not a direction you

1:05:35

know it's dice right to some degree and it's

1:05:37

fun interesting pitches but

1:05:40

I it's hard for me to imagine it because it's

1:05:42

just not what it's built for you know what I mean right

1:05:47

I'm open to other plans from folks yeah

1:05:49

I mean again this maybe makes more sense once

1:05:51

I drop a whole big slime on the table

1:05:53

but there is a there

1:05:56

is a big gross slime that is

1:05:58

the sun's flying It's not

1:06:00

an actual slime. It is it is

1:06:02

actually more like a big marble. That's actually what it

1:06:04

is It's a big silver marble, right? But it's like

1:06:06

a liquid metal marble. So What's

1:06:09

Tom Cruise's character's name in War of the

1:06:11

Worlds? Peter

1:06:15

Worlds. Oh Peter Worlds here

1:06:20

Ray Ferrier I

1:06:23

googled it. Mr. World Squad

1:06:27

Yeah, I'm trying to reconnect with my guys

1:06:32

That's what I'm doing outside. Oh, what's

1:06:35

that? Tell me what that looks like Another

1:06:45

one I gotta find one that's transparent

1:06:48

That was so weird because when you move the image,

1:06:50

it looked like the ball rolled with it And

1:06:53

I was like what's fucking happening But

1:06:58

I think is it is it like do it am

1:07:01

I having to like actively avoided the

1:07:03

I Mean, I get

1:07:05

like you think I will I will get into more

1:07:07

particular Yet it is

1:07:09

going to destroy everything here. It is going to

1:07:12

consume everything here It is going to it might kill

1:07:14

your boy. Jess it like it's

1:07:16

starting with big things like buildings and

1:07:18

mechs, you know as

1:07:20

it's moving Through the campus

1:07:23

it is leaving behind a trail of

1:07:26

the the kind of silver almost

1:07:28

mercury like Whose that

1:07:31

was the whole world this mean it that

1:07:33

you saw inside of its when you were

1:07:35

connected to its mind So,

1:07:39

yeah, that's that is that is

1:07:41

happening outside Can

1:07:44

I just run it in that direction yeah, no

1:07:46

one thought we were running I Think

1:07:51

you'd come cruise running. Yeah, exactly

1:07:56

Cuz I keep thinking like what if I like try to

1:08:00

power on a vehicle but like if we

1:08:02

need to get out of here this visa truck and

1:08:06

then wait

1:08:08

like we have an escape

1:08:10

plate and then like what if I tried to

1:08:12

like try to spark

1:08:15

on one of these alters but that seems

1:08:17

like a bad idea too I think being a

1:08:19

little guy trying to get through the space and just like

1:08:23

get eyes on as many people as

1:08:25

I can is my best

1:08:27

option right here right now the

1:08:29

thing that I'm doing is running towards Jess at smack

1:08:32

and like waving my arms

1:08:34

and screaming right like seeing if they're

1:08:37

still alive yeah they are alive and they take they

1:08:40

like out they like hop back one from

1:08:42

the big cube which is for this moment

1:08:44

maybe see I said cube this is why

1:08:46

it needs to be it can't be a

1:08:48

cube on my screen it has to be

1:08:51

a marble anyway

1:08:53

well yeah and is like you should talk to Jess

1:08:58

it and just like Brian is

1:09:00

that you yes

1:09:03

yes hello really

1:09:13

so weird when I'm talking

1:09:15

on the phone and Brian

1:09:17

doesn't even need that to

1:09:19

get started weird Brian just

1:09:21

get weird Brian you just get weird I want to

1:09:23

get weird let's get weird just

1:09:25

it calls down to you and is like Brian

1:09:28

you you really are

1:09:30

here what's going on I was

1:09:33

here with Cory and Disney to get this motion

1:09:35

thing and we we got to get out of

1:09:37

here we gotta find them where

1:09:39

are they that that

1:09:42

was the middle one pointing

1:09:44

over their shoulder yeah

1:09:47

and you know the the

1:09:51

ambulance is now rolled over one of

1:09:53

the entire other buildings and flailed

1:09:55

out a sort of tendril

1:09:58

and slams it through the

1:10:00

wall of Building C, the kind

1:10:02

of like southwestern wall, just like

1:10:04

nothing, like a toddler running with

1:10:07

their hands out to give them

1:10:09

balance, you know? But

1:10:11

very destructively, but very playfully. I

1:10:15

wonder if it laughs, I bet it laughs as it

1:10:17

moves, or it makes a sort

1:10:19

of, maybe it's not a laugh, it's like,

1:10:21

I think it bubbles and boils in pleasant

1:10:23

ways for itself. Like, its

1:10:25

exterior occasionally boils, and that's the

1:10:28

equivalent of it being kind of

1:10:30

like, ooh, a fun, haha, fun

1:10:32

thing happened. Like

1:10:34

when the rat gets tickled. Like

1:10:36

that, like when a rat gets tickled. What

1:10:39

do you do? Are you directing

1:10:41

Jess to go get them? Are you running to

1:10:44

go get them? Is

1:10:46

this a shared cockpit situation?

1:10:49

Oh, in the in the jury? Maybe.

1:10:55

Oh, we have to do a rescue mission and there's only one.

1:10:59

I mean, just kneel down the left arm

1:11:02

of the machine is fucked up. Of

1:11:05

the of the jury like so so can't

1:11:07

offer you that hand to like lift you

1:11:09

up, but kneel down and opens the cockpit.

1:11:12

And as the cockpit opens,

1:11:15

you know, you see the

1:11:17

the actual machine like the

1:11:19

cockpit retracts in a way

1:11:21

that's not too dissimilar. Like there's

1:11:23

parts of it that are like

1:11:26

nano machine style that are not

1:11:28

dissimilar from the the

1:11:33

way that Dahlia's whole shit worked.

1:11:35

You know what I'm talking about? Like

1:11:37

the black commitment stuff

1:11:39

that was like it retracted and

1:11:41

reshaped itself. In this case, it's

1:11:43

because literally parts of

1:11:46

the heart of this thing is effectively

1:11:48

a motion engine. Pulled

1:11:51

from the wreckage of motion above

1:11:53

partisan. That is what Orion made or

1:11:55

was making. This is an experimental model

1:11:57

that just got got his hand. on.

1:12:00

We saw him use it in a conflict turnout

1:12:02

a little while ago. It's dangerous and

1:12:05

you can see that it is like it

1:12:08

is like hooked into him in ways.

1:12:10

This is not a pleasant cockpit. You

1:12:13

could fit in there, you know, but

1:12:15

there's not, you know, I don't,

1:12:18

I don't, it would

1:12:20

be a tight fit, I guess. I would say. I've not

1:12:23

imagined this is like a stand behind

1:12:25

the cockpit, big O style cockpit. You're

1:12:28

a stand behind the seat. This would

1:12:30

be a sharing a seat, you know?

1:12:37

I think that I say with, with being

1:12:40

breathless and overwhelmed and not quite

1:12:42

bringing the joke to my throat,

1:12:46

you kitted out in here bro? Oh my

1:12:48

god. No. Can

1:12:52

you say that again? Can we get a

1:12:54

clean, clean take? Yeah, I need to deliver

1:12:56

it genuinely. Please?

1:13:00

You're crazy. Are you or are

1:13:02

you not? Kitted out

1:13:05

in here bro. You're

1:13:10

kitted out in here bro. It's,

1:13:13

uh, it's impressive. I

1:13:18

didn't make it but it, just

1:13:20

get in. Right, yeah, we,

1:13:23

uh, this is, you alright? Yeah.

1:13:26

Where are the rest? The flight,

1:13:29

over there. Okay,

1:13:31

there we go. And

1:13:34

begins moving in that direction. Corey

1:13:40

and Thizbe, there's a huge,

1:13:42

the whole building shakes as ambulance

1:13:45

knocks a hole through it. You can't see that from

1:13:47

inside of the lab if you're still in the lab.

1:13:50

But the, what you

1:13:52

can certainly hear is

1:13:54

like emergency alarms going

1:13:56

off everywhere. Evacuate, evacuate.

1:14:00

you know, alarms going off.

1:14:02

The, I actually suspect that

1:14:04

there is like a panic

1:14:06

room or a panic

1:14:09

elevator here. Like

1:14:12

a personal, you know,

1:14:14

reinforced escape. There

1:14:16

aren't, there aren't fire escapes,

1:14:19

but Axonchester March has a

1:14:21

personal fire exit, you know,

1:14:23

inside the lab that

1:14:26

brings you down to some sort of safe zone.

1:14:29

So you might not even go out the main, the

1:14:31

main building or the main way, unless your goal is

1:14:33

we have to go reconnect with Brian and Jess and

1:14:35

we know, or with Brian and we know where Brian

1:14:38

is, which is out the front door, you know, or

1:14:42

you could stay in here because the thing about in here

1:14:45

is this whole place is going to like, I

1:14:47

don't know, you know, this place is, it will

1:14:50

get destroyed and anything in here might get destroyed

1:14:52

or might get loose or might get turned

1:14:54

on, you know, and then be destructive because

1:14:57

it's explosive or dangerous,

1:14:59

you know. I

1:15:03

would love to take that bulb thing, but

1:15:05

I'm not sure if it's possible. It's

1:15:07

big. It's really big. It's again,

1:15:09

it's bigger than you. Okay. Okay.

1:15:11

Yeah, that's not like a huge

1:15:14

device. Yeah. A cart or anything

1:15:16

that we can, you

1:15:19

know, it's, it's, it's, um, Mo could carry

1:15:21

it, you know, or Mo and Jess, it

1:15:23

could carry it. My other

1:15:26

thought is the thought that I

1:15:28

had last week that was too silly to mention.

1:15:31

Um, but the thought was, what

1:15:34

if there was some sort

1:15:36

of gun that like reversed what an

1:15:38

axiom was, not a gun, but like,

1:15:40

what if that was a thing? Can

1:15:42

we explore that? Um, and

1:15:44

then my thought here is that like,

1:15:46

has Exeter or March explored that? That's

1:15:49

the only thing he would have explored. Just like trying

1:15:52

to like, you know, like when you have one

1:15:54

of those like plastic, no, but I know what these

1:15:56

are and then you like throw it in, it goes,

1:15:59

you know, exactly the other We there's

1:16:01

we have the exact word for what this

1:16:03

is actually From

1:16:06

Twilight Mirage It's

1:16:08

a it's a concrete hamburger seatbelt It's

1:16:11

a quote Janine says I have them in

1:16:14

my I have them noted here on my

1:16:16

character She does a weird tendril concrete hamburger

1:16:18

seatbelt You

1:16:22

know I mean I doesn't mean anything me

1:16:24

in episode 58 yeah, I guess here's a

1:16:26

thing. How do you undo it? It's the

1:16:28

same device It's that same sort of seat

1:16:31

belt hamburger concrete device that we've been talking

1:16:33

about on and off for six months To

1:16:35

the point that I can say seat belt hamburger concrete

1:16:37

device, and you know what that means Wow

1:16:49

It is there were there

1:16:52

were these anti axiom devices

1:16:55

for catching axioms Oh

1:17:04

It's trapped yes the

1:17:07

first time it shows up is And

1:17:10

when he says capture cats cradle like pulls up

1:17:12

There's like I'm trying to imagine what this even

1:17:14

looks like I think it's a long black thin

1:17:16

rectangular device on a side Not

1:17:19

a bandolier, but a holster basically and

1:17:21

then she taps a button on three times

1:17:23

She has like one hand underneath it and

1:17:25

three like little kind of square shape

1:17:27

They almost look like old seat belts or

1:17:30

something, but bigger right like big

1:17:32

like the size of a hamburger

1:17:34

or something It puts square, and

1:17:36

it says here Janine incredulous. They're

1:17:38

like old Okay,

1:17:44

so this is a thing you did yeah It's

1:17:46

an old metal seat belt that has a button in the

1:17:48

middle the seat belt connector bit You know like when you

1:17:50

plug in a seat belt and there's a button in the

1:17:52

middle like an old one Oh my god.

1:17:54

You can't believe I'm here again This

1:17:57

is like harness. Yeah, it's like a harness seat

1:17:59

belt. Yeah exactly Exactly, like a classic vintage

1:18:01

harness seat belt. So it's

1:18:03

like a car seat hamburger

1:18:06

strap. With tendrils on it. Tendrils.

1:18:10

Yeah, yeah, yeah. Pokeball. Pokeball.

1:18:12

It's an Axiom Pokeball is what it was. I don't

1:18:14

know how you would identify this thing as being the

1:18:17

thing you're looking for. I actually think that this is the

1:18:19

thing you need to find. You need

1:18:21

to... Did you spend that

1:18:23

other hold? You did. You spent both of

1:18:25

the holds for this. If

1:18:27

you could successfully give me

1:18:29

a read the room

1:18:32

here for what

1:18:34

is being overlooked or obscured here for, there

1:18:37

has to be a way to turn off an Axiom or to

1:18:40

capture an Axiom. You

1:18:42

could try to do that. You could try to find that. When

1:18:44

I did the thing before, I did specifically ask what

1:18:46

is being overlooked or obscured here. You

1:18:49

did, and I told you a bunch of stuff. Including

1:18:52

a device... What you originally

1:18:54

said was, you're looking for a way to stop

1:18:56

motion. This seatbelt would not

1:18:58

have been that. Did

1:19:01

I say that? That's what your overall thing

1:19:03

that you were looking for in this building was, right?

1:19:05

I was just looking for cool Exeter and March shit

1:19:07

that could go in any direction. But again, that could

1:19:10

go in any direction. Your goal was not, I need

1:19:12

something that can stop ambulance. Yeah.

1:19:15

Okay. Well,

1:19:18

I guess I'll roll that.

1:19:21

And

1:19:24

you would take advantage on this because you've already gotten

1:19:26

the lay of the land for

1:19:29

this place, right? Yeah, we kind of picked you over

1:19:31

the room a bit. Exactly. The

1:19:33

way that that works, the way that read the room works is

1:19:35

you take advantage when you act on the answers. And one of

1:19:37

the answers was, everything is divided

1:19:39

up into little sections. So you have

1:19:42

the basics of it. So you have 3d6 plus

1:19:44

cents, which I think is a one. That

1:19:50

is a 11. 6 plus 4 plus

1:19:52

1 is 11. The

1:19:55

regular one we can get rid of.

1:19:58

So yeah, you get three questions here. in

1:20:00

this scenario. Okay. Well, what

1:20:03

is being scared of? Yeah.

1:20:06

Well, there you go. Overlooked. You find a

1:20:08

diagram of this seat belt device. Again,

1:20:16

if you imagine a vintage seat belt, just

1:20:18

the clasp part with the button on it,

1:20:22

that kind of shows that if you need to attach this thing and

1:20:24

hit the button, it

1:20:26

can begin a process of restraining

1:20:28

an axiom. This

1:20:31

is a replica. This was

1:20:33

modeled after stuff recovered from

1:20:35

the Twilight Mirage. It

1:20:40

has been tested on smaller parts of

1:20:42

ambulance. It's never been tested on the

1:20:44

big main ball because the scientists were

1:20:46

afraid that if you did that, that

1:20:49

would be that. There

1:20:51

would be no more... Right. They

1:20:53

didn't want to blow it. Yeah, exactly.

1:20:55

No. That's fair. How

1:20:59

is the avoidance at risk or in peril? It

1:21:03

is at risk of

1:21:05

being... Let

1:21:08

me think. It is... I do

1:21:10

want to give you a risk here because it is... I

1:21:12

think that it is distracted

1:21:15

or overwhelmed or... It

1:21:18

is undirected. It is kind of just going...

1:21:21

It doesn't have an aim. It's

1:21:23

just raw, bubbling joy.

1:21:26

So it's not actually

1:21:28

paying attention to everything. So I would say

1:21:30

that one risk it has is

1:21:33

distracted or undirected. I like more.

1:21:37

I guess we know where I can find it. It's a

1:21:39

big ball. Yeah, it's a big ball. You can hold on

1:21:41

to your remaining one if you want to. Yeah,

1:21:44

I might do that. Hold one

1:21:47

for big ball. Uh-huh.

1:21:50

Okay. Okay,

1:21:52

I'm going to grab the hamburger

1:21:55

seat belt. Yep, that's

1:21:57

right. That's the official name of it. Concrete

1:22:00

hamburger, yeah. Concrete

1:22:02

hamburger. The seed

1:22:04

belts aren't concrete, right? The seed belts are not,

1:22:06

right? What it does is produce that sort of,

1:22:08

I don't know if you remember this, there's that

1:22:11

concrete that like shuts magic down from the Twilight

1:22:13

Mirage that ends up being connected to one

1:22:15

of the subgroups there. Oh, the

1:22:17

concrete down particulars, right? The concrete

1:22:19

down particulars, yeah, exactly. It produces

1:22:21

that type of concrete, which the

1:22:23

Greypool folks are tied to. We

1:22:27

also have the sort of the concreteists here,

1:22:30

which we don't have too much connection

1:22:32

with these days, but we're in the road.

1:22:35

Yeah, so tied to that. Ah,

1:22:39

Jesset and, and Brine,

1:22:42

you have made it up to the

1:22:45

kind of front door of this place. Jesset

1:22:48

is defending the mech with

1:22:51

like summoning new

1:22:53

kind of shields to block

1:22:55

incoming attacks. This thing is

1:22:57

wild, Brine. This

1:23:00

is using the kind of what was

1:23:02

Perennial Wave back in the day. And

1:23:05

if you remember this motion used to be

1:23:07

able to summon stuff from the Perennial Wave, just

1:23:09

make it whole, you know? And

1:23:12

this thing has some of that in it and

1:23:14

is using it as like nanomachines

1:23:16

to make stuff. Unfortunately,

1:23:19

you can see that it's running out

1:23:21

because normally what happens is it

1:23:24

has it all around it. The world is filled

1:23:26

with the Perennial Wave in Calmeria, right? But

1:23:28

in this moment, because of what's happening, because of

1:23:30

this hiccup, it is not going to

1:23:33

be able to keep making shields and weapons the

1:23:35

way it normally does. And

1:23:37

so there are like warning lights going off.

1:23:41

This is the problem with not just having,

1:23:43

you know, like even its weapon

1:23:45

is like summons bullets out of

1:23:47

the air effectively, you know? There

1:23:52

is – it has a handful of already

1:23:55

made physical things which are these kind

1:23:57

of almost like – javelin

1:24:00

looking bits

1:24:03

that fly off of its back and

1:24:05

are like little you know they're

1:24:07

bits they're they're self-propelled drone type

1:24:10

things that can

1:24:12

like launch and then can can either

1:24:14

stab or shoot them shoot themselves basically

1:24:16

and at this point jesset is all

1:24:18

the way into that mode is like

1:24:20

using those but once those break that

1:24:22

is kind of it in

1:24:25

terms of armaments you

1:24:27

also see that jesset is like hooked into this

1:24:29

thing in a way that you've never seen him

1:24:31

before at this point which is part of

1:24:34

why he's able to move so fast and part of

1:24:36

why he's able to like keep up with this thing

1:24:38

but has not been able to get a hit in

1:24:40

you know it's just kind of able

1:24:42

to keep keep everyone keep you too

1:24:44

safe i guess as as you move

1:24:46

towards the big open hole on the

1:24:48

side of the building okay okay okay

1:24:51

um we'll meet up with corn and we'll just

1:24:53

leave this thing here and uh we'll get

1:24:55

out of here just leave this

1:24:57

thing here who knows when this thing will

1:24:59

stop well look at your

1:25:02

sensors hey my sensors are

1:25:04

like this all the time these days we

1:25:06

just have to push through it i we

1:25:11

just have to get out of here can

1:25:14

you put it on like auto or something we'll just

1:25:16

climb out put it on auto

1:25:18

no it doesn't have an auto it needs a pilot

1:25:20

a block stab you know gun explodes you should go

1:25:22

i'll stay and keep it

1:25:28

busy that's stupid

1:25:31

why is that stupid we this is what we do because

1:25:34

we should just go we should just go

1:25:37

do you have to convince him of this

1:25:43

oh i have this message that i didn't have entered

1:25:46

on roll 20 which is really funny yeah

1:25:50

uh-huh yeah um

1:25:56

unbelievable uh much V9!

1:26:01

Are you leaving the room? Should

1:26:04

you go back out into the big hallway

1:26:06

at this point? I think so. I have

1:26:09

a, I do have a plan personally now.

1:26:11

Okay. Good. Um,

1:26:13

as you run out the door,

1:26:15

you see Jess's shield shatter. Um,

1:26:19

and the, the ambulance like

1:26:21

tendril, uh, like slap

1:26:23

down and then spike forward at

1:26:26

the two of them. Um, you're

1:26:28

not piloting, Brian, right? Um,

1:26:31

no, I might be doing, I might be

1:26:33

in the terms of this game doing

1:26:35

some assists, you know? Yeah,

1:26:38

it's weird because Jess doesn't have a character sheet.

1:26:40

Um, you know, the two of you are about

1:26:42

to get stabbed by this thing. Um, I don't

1:26:44

know how bad, you know? Uh,

1:26:46

we're trying to figure out what the role

1:26:48

for preventing that would be at this point.

1:26:50

Oh, sure. Or interfering or distracting it more.

1:26:54

Um, yeah. And

1:26:56

it might not come from you. It might come from Disney. Cory, at Disney,

1:26:59

what's your big plan? Yeah, part

1:27:01

of my plan does involve distraction, literally. Okay.

1:27:04

So what is it? Um, okay. So

1:27:07

like I did before, the thing I'm going to do

1:27:09

is I'm just going to explain the way that

1:27:13

this looks in my head. Yep. And

1:27:15

I'm explaining it knowing that it

1:27:17

will be multiple roles, multiple moves,

1:27:19

multiple different stages. Okay.

1:27:22

Um, I

1:27:24

want to make a

1:27:26

giant illusory rabbit.

1:27:29

Or more mouse or like some sort

1:27:31

of like small, frisky prey animal, but

1:27:34

like big for the ball to get

1:27:36

excited about. And then I

1:27:38

want to hamburger it. Oh,

1:27:40

okay. I think I'll say

1:27:42

is with the seatbelt.

1:27:46

Uh, we only have, it only has one, um, it only has one, uh, uh, risk on it right

1:27:48

now. So,

1:27:56

uh, you're going to need to put two more on it

1:27:58

before you hamburger it, but I do. think distracting it with

1:28:01

a big bunny could do that. You

1:28:04

can distract it and then the bunny can maybe do

1:28:06

something really like, whoa, and

1:28:08

then it's like winded or whatever. Okay,

1:28:11

give me your this is your

1:28:13

tactical illusion. This

1:28:17

is tactical illusions. Plus

1:28:19

channel. Which your channel is

1:28:21

plus two. Your channel is two. Two plus two. Is

1:28:25

there like an approach thing to consider here? There

1:28:27

is and you don't know what its approach is.

1:28:30

Oh, that's okay. I yeah, I that's what I want

1:28:32

to use my other hold on. I thought about doing

1:28:34

that, but then I was like, well, does that make

1:28:36

sense for yeah, I want to use my other hold

1:28:38

to be like, what's this thing's approach? Its approach is

1:28:40

arcane, which is strong against

1:28:42

divine, which means that

1:28:45

you will be rolling with desperation,

1:28:47

but you'll also be rolling with

1:28:49

advantage because of using this

1:28:52

role of using that question

1:28:55

to get that knowledge. Read the

1:28:57

room gives you advantage when you act on the answers

1:28:59

or what you've asked. So it will be a three

1:29:01

D six, but take ones to six

1:29:03

is unless someone does something here. Can

1:29:05

I counteract that desperation? You

1:29:07

don't don't don't you don't need to do

1:29:10

it myself. Okay. I'll

1:29:13

get it in current. Once for sortie,

1:29:15

you may ignore approach based desperation. Love

1:29:18

that. Boom. Oh, here it is. That

1:29:20

makes perfect sense too, right? Because it's like,

1:29:23

yes, you can switch into non divine magic

1:29:25

too. We've seen that's what you I'm still

1:29:27

new to this whole divine thing. It's not,

1:29:29

it's not, you know, I'm not fully in

1:29:31

there. All right. What's this role again? 3d6

1:29:35

plus channel plus two. All

1:29:37

right. Yeah. Uh,

1:29:39

that's still the eight four plus two plus two is

1:29:42

eight. Um, so that

1:29:44

is a mixed success. Um,

1:29:46

which, oh no. Oh

1:29:50

no. On

1:29:53

a seven to nine choose one, but your illusions

1:29:55

also distracted unintended audience. Well,

1:29:59

a bunny. You

1:30:02

only get to choose one of the following,

1:30:04

which is the illusions last until you stop

1:30:06

sustaining them, otherwise they last up to a

1:30:08

minute. Your illusions affect anyone you intend to

1:30:10

perceive them rather than a single person, or

1:30:13

you can create illusions that affect all the

1:30:15

senses rather than just sight. I'm

1:30:17

going with the first one. Which is they last until

1:30:19

you stop sustaining them, so they can get to the

1:30:21

last for ongoing. Yeah. Sure. Okay.

1:30:25

Unfortunately, they do distract an unintended audience, and I think

1:30:27

it's an indirect thing. I don't think Jesset sees this,

1:30:30

but I do think Jesset is like, ah, I have

1:30:32

an opening. Also, you summon the bunny. What's it

1:30:34

do? It's

1:30:38

like, also because it's

1:30:40

probably not a bunny, it's probably just some

1:30:42

sort of hybrid rodenty animal, like a re-mail.

1:30:44

Okay. Yeah. It's kind

1:30:46

of explicitly a big bunny, but it's supposed

1:30:48

to be a big sort of like, you

1:30:51

know, a thing that can hop and scurry and

1:30:54

has a swishy little tail and is very twitchy

1:30:56

and like jump. Yeah,

1:30:59

I'm like thinking of like bunnies, gerbos,

1:31:01

chinchillas, stuff like that. Sure, I see.

1:31:03

Yeah. So like fluffy

1:31:05

and strange. And

1:31:08

the thing I'm basically summoning it to do

1:31:10

is to like jump around

1:31:12

and be a more exciting target. Right.

1:31:15

And like be like strange and unpredictable

1:31:17

in a way that like a

1:31:19

person in a robot isn't going to be. Yes.

1:31:22

I'm giving it distracted. I think that this totally works.

1:31:24

This is fun. And

1:31:27

the thing about it is like it's an illusion. So it's able to like,

1:31:30

it's able to move in ways that maybe couldn't

1:31:32

necessarily. And it doesn't take damage when it gets

1:31:34

hit. It doesn't, you know, you're able to start

1:31:37

to kite this thing. It just gave

1:31:39

the apathy of an iPad and said,

1:31:41

have fun. You truly did. Unfortunately, Jesset,

1:31:43

I think, is also distracted by the

1:31:45

illusion, not in the sense of, hey,

1:31:50

I am, I

1:31:53

see the big buddy also, I'm chasing the

1:31:55

bunny. But in the like, now's our chance.

1:31:57

We have to kill this thing and charges.

1:32:00

forward hand out to like,

1:32:03

I don't know punch it ripping apart, you know,

1:32:06

the jury still has its hands, you know, it

1:32:09

still can reach out and and do physical damage

1:32:11

in that way has its hand and its own

1:32:13

arm is fucked up. Or his

1:32:15

shoulder was messed up. So yeah, is able

1:32:17

to like charge forward, which does not put

1:32:20

Brian in any less of a dangerous position.

1:32:24

And and just it's like, I don't

1:32:26

know what has its attention, but we have to act now if

1:32:28

we want to save anybody. Just

1:32:30

is throwing his life you're seeing a person

1:32:32

throw his life away. Right? Yeah,

1:32:35

I was Yeah, I'm hearing this is

1:32:37

just the beast episode. Yeah.

1:32:42

Um, oh boy. What

1:32:47

do I have access to here? I

1:32:50

mean, you could just try to talk him down. You could,

1:32:52

you know, be

1:32:54

a commander about it. I don't know. I

1:32:57

saw selfless. You saw what

1:33:00

selfless you may put yourself in

1:33:02

peril to completely defend another from another.

1:33:04

Oh, my God. Oh,

1:33:11

my God. yourself

1:33:13

in peril. You're already at

1:33:15

three. Yeah, what is what

1:33:18

happened? Right is that you would replace a

1:33:20

risk with the peril and then you'd bite

1:33:22

the dust. That

1:33:24

is what you do. Yeah, you are so

1:33:27

excited. I'll always fight that

1:33:29

gonna go fight the dust. Yeah, freak

1:33:32

with their part

1:33:35

of my dad and then replace the risk with the peril.

1:33:38

But but but tax

1:33:41

someone who's just double checking. Oh,

1:33:47

what does this look like? Well, I double checked the

1:33:49

rules to see if you're really biting the dust here.

1:33:56

Oh, man. I mean, it could

1:33:58

look like a lot of things, right? It could be the thing of

1:34:00

like just this

1:34:03

isn't a very joy sticky cockpit

1:34:05

but it could be like putting

1:34:08

it like you physically pulling

1:34:10

like a lever or like putting their hand

1:34:12

on Jess at some like wheeling

1:34:15

it right the other

1:34:18

way or whatever to sort of like

1:34:20

physically move the mech out of the way

1:34:22

but like opening the

1:34:24

cockpit area up to some sort

1:34:26

of physical attack that

1:34:28

I bet isn't fine

1:34:34

it's probably chill if you

1:34:37

put in peril yeah if you would

1:34:39

be put in peril but already have three dangers

1:34:41

replace or risk with it if you have one

1:34:43

otherwise bite the dust in desperation until the end

1:34:45

of the sortie further dangerous just trigger bite the

1:34:47

dust instead I actually think what happens here is

1:34:49

you have to I think do think you get

1:34:51

put into peril because you're already at three

1:34:54

I think it I think that third risk becomes

1:34:56

apparel you would still be defenseless and

1:34:59

I'm just doing I I know you want to bite

1:35:01

the dust here why do you want that I don't understand

1:35:05

different goals

1:35:07

in life

1:35:10

I think that you're taking a chat but I do want to

1:35:12

say that loud Brian's life goal is to die and

1:35:15

Jess it's laughs we can't take this away from them

1:35:17

many such cases you know I think Cory's got that

1:35:26

two different laps though the funny thing

1:35:29

here is you know you when you

1:35:31

touch Jess its hand to

1:35:33

you know move that's all

1:35:35

it takes right because the move is you

1:35:38

put yourself in peril to completely defend another

1:35:40

from one source of incoming harm so what's

1:35:43

the peril you're in are you like

1:35:45

I was it committed

1:35:47

but that has connotations I don't mean

1:35:49

but like are you like it's

1:35:52

seeing that you are here with him that

1:35:54

has him going oh what the I shouldn't

1:35:56

die here this is stupid but

1:35:58

what is it that that puts

1:36:00

you in peril, what is

1:36:02

the peril you're in, I guess is my

1:36:04

question. Is it simply,

1:36:07

yeah, go ahead. Desperate? Is

1:36:09

it like, cause like what's the

1:36:12

risk thing of like, what do you, that's

1:36:14

the risk part of it, but this is peril, so it has

1:36:16

to be, remember you've

1:36:19

got a therapy over there in

1:36:22

the parlance of the chime and

1:36:24

of Tecnmore. Right,

1:36:27

but the thing is like acting

1:36:29

so erratically here, because

1:36:33

of the toilet mirage thing,

1:36:35

is because of the danger, because

1:36:37

of the like, oh, I'm the person here who

1:36:39

protects other people. That's what I do, I'm

1:36:42

the captain. I'm the captain now. Right. Just

1:36:46

like, you know, like I

1:36:49

purposely kept stunned forever, is

1:36:51

this like, this sort of like, chaoticness,

1:36:54

this like, I

1:36:57

guess, yeah. Peril,

1:37:00

chaotic. I'm

1:37:03

probably gonna write desperate, but I'm desperate. Desperate

1:37:05

into word hippo. But like, it's

1:37:07

desperate, it's beyond desperate, right? It's,

1:37:10

or it's not desperate, like I'm

1:37:12

desperate in this moment. It's desperate

1:37:14

as in, I am a

1:37:16

desperate person right now. And

1:37:20

I think that that is part of what

1:37:22

Jesset feels, is your desperation. And

1:37:25

so, you know, turns his back

1:37:27

and the jury's back on this thing, to

1:37:29

go, you know, meet up with Cory

1:37:31

and Fizbee. Cory and Fizbee. What

1:37:35

I can only describe as a more advanced

1:37:37

version of a, it's

1:37:40

like a futuristic version of the old

1:37:43

at-arm troop is here. Instead

1:37:45

of the weird LCD eye, this

1:37:47

thing does have like a pixel

1:37:49

face on it. The

1:37:52

jury. And it has

1:37:54

like a, the

1:37:57

face is like a screen, basically. And the screen's still

1:37:59

there. says, it's Jesset

1:38:02

and Brian. And

1:38:05

raises raises the hand the right hand of

1:38:07

this thing to be like, I'm not here

1:38:09

to hurt you, you know. And

1:38:11

then it you know, through the speakers, Jesset

1:38:13

says, like, we have to get out of here.

1:38:15

I have Brian on board. I

1:38:19

have a tool to disable the axiom.

1:38:22

And inside the cockpit, Jesset goes, Captain,

1:38:27

if we can stop it, the

1:38:29

axiom desires complete

1:38:32

consumption of everything,

1:38:34

it will expand and

1:38:37

churn and consume.

1:38:42

We should stop it if we can. We're

1:38:44

going to go down here a little bit chasing the rabbit. The

1:38:48

rodent. Is there a big rodent on

1:38:50

the thing? Oh,

1:38:54

it's small. Yay. There

1:38:57

we go. That's a sports team guy,

1:38:59

isn't it? No, this is as rat.

1:39:01

It's from the pack of foes set.

1:39:03

Okay, that looks like it's from like

1:39:05

the Seattle rats. This

1:39:08

looks like from like an NBA 2k. We

1:39:14

don't have a lot of time. And

1:39:16

you can go. Do

1:39:19

I hear that? Presumably.

1:39:25

No, Disney will help you. Change

1:39:29

your mind real quick. Well, it's, you know,

1:39:31

this is the power up a little bit. I

1:39:33

will stay and finish this no matter what. If

1:39:36

you do not believe you will survive,

1:39:38

you should leave. I'm

1:39:41

not leaving without you, says me. Then

1:39:43

let's do it. Yeah. Like

1:39:46

blow up a building on it or something just to get

1:39:48

that third, third risk. Building

1:39:52

on it or something. Great question.

1:39:55

I mean, a funny way, right? We've been you've

1:39:57

been interacting with it in real. secondary

1:40:01

ways, which is to say we haven't had to

1:40:03

deal with the tier difference at all, because

1:40:06

you've been distracting it, you've been like emotionally

1:40:09

attacking it, you know? Directly

1:40:13

attacking it might be dropping, I don't think dropping a

1:40:15

building on it would do anything. Right.

1:40:18

You know, or rather, you're at

1:40:20

the point now where like physically

1:40:22

attacking it is hard because

1:40:24

of the tier difference. What

1:40:26

tier is it? It's tier five. Can you tell

1:40:29

us that? Yeah. The big

1:40:31

one. Yeah. And it might become

1:40:33

tier six with a left time. Time

1:40:37

to... Which is maybe a point in the favor of

1:40:39

getting rid of it now or stopping

1:40:41

it now. Mm-hmm. Yeah,

1:40:48

is this like a we re-engage and then

1:40:50

this be does a thing? What's the thing

1:40:52

that this we have to do? Hamburger.

1:40:55

Hamburger. Well, is it just like, is

1:40:58

it like... It's a strike to fight. Pokeball

1:41:01

Hamburger. Okay, it's a Pokeball. Pokeball Hamburger, it

1:41:03

will be very hard to do it because

1:41:05

of the tier. The

1:41:08

tier difference is really big, you know? Yeah.

1:41:15

What's the stabbiest thing that Jess has?

1:41:20

Jess has kind of used all the... I mean, I guess at this

1:41:22

point Jess could pick up a weapon from one of the fallen altars,

1:41:25

right? And just use

1:41:27

another thing's weapon. That's

1:41:31

possible. Right? Stabbiest.

1:41:34

What do they got? They got... Let's

1:41:37

see here. Doo doo doo. Can I write

1:41:39

it down here? No, I wrote it down over here. Yeah,

1:41:41

some of them have like beam... Some

1:41:46

of them have batons and other ones

1:41:48

have like glaives, like big tall glaives.

1:41:50

So maybe what happens is one of

1:41:52

the ones I deleted was on the

1:41:55

map was over here and is able

1:41:57

to pick up one of these beam

1:41:59

glaives. And set

1:42:01

it up as like a charging attack Those

1:42:04

are still There's still

1:42:06

a big you know if I was rolling for Jess at

1:42:08

here Or maybe if you rolled crew or something you would

1:42:10

still be rolling But I

1:42:13

don't even know There's still be

1:42:15

a no you know what this machine is a tier four

1:42:17

so it would only be a one It would only be

1:42:19

a one tier difference, so it's rollable But

1:42:23

it would be a tier difference, and it would not be

1:42:25

there would be no confidence So I would let you roll

1:42:27

it as crew if with crew if you count Jess at

1:42:29

this crew But I don't know if Jess is part of

1:42:31

your crew in that way you tell me okay? I'm

1:42:34

thinking this this moment in this moment. I think

1:42:36

it counts yes Yeah Then

1:42:39

we could do like a weather the storm

1:42:41

situation now. This is oh yeah I guess that

1:42:43

would be I you know I actually think it's

1:42:45

crew exchange blows okay, right? And

1:42:48

it's at disadvantage so it's 36 because

1:42:54

Because it's a one tier difference between the

1:42:57

the jury which is a tier four and

1:42:59

this thing oh What I'm

1:43:01

wrong. Oh I'm wrong

1:43:03

actually there's no there's no There

1:43:07

doesn't matter. There's no approach different different differentiation

1:43:09

between those two. They're not related in any

1:43:11

way They're just like not near each other

1:43:13

so So

1:43:16

yeah, do you want to do that three

1:43:18

six plus? What's your crew score three?

1:43:22

Yeah Have you used

1:43:24

this before this you haven't used crew yet? right

1:43:27

we do we have to track

1:43:29

usages because You're

1:43:31

not on the ship oh Keep

1:43:34

that in mind okay, also. I just want to

1:43:37

make sure I wasn't stepping on any bigger plans

1:43:39

I need to have four well. This

1:43:41

isn't killing it. This is just adding another no Yeah, I

1:43:43

just need another risk on there before we can hamburger oh

1:43:49

36 plus 3 36 plus 3 3 yeah 5,

1:44:01

6, 7,

1:44:03

8, 9,

1:44:05

10, 11.

1:44:08

Easy. Easy. Get rid of

1:44:10

that one. Ignore that one. So

1:44:12

yeah, you get an 11 here and yeah,

1:44:14

Jess, it charges forward with this beam slave.

1:44:16

I don't think that the glaive itself is

1:44:18

doing too much damage to

1:44:21

it, but

1:44:23

it does give the at

1:44:25

this point, finally, you

1:44:28

know, between the distraction

1:44:30

of the rat,

1:44:33

the rodent and now Jesset and

1:44:35

Brian, it is

1:44:37

stretched thin quite literally. It feels

1:44:39

like it's going to break into

1:44:41

multiple parts if it's not careful.

1:44:44

And it is defenseless in this moment. And

1:44:46

also like a little oblong. It's not letting

1:44:49

me edit this thing, but imagine I edited

1:44:51

it to be stretched funny, you know? Oh,

1:44:54

that is funny. Yeah, thanks. Thank

1:44:57

you for joining me

1:44:59

on my imagination journey. So

1:45:04

yeah, it's defenseless now. This be if you want to

1:45:06

try to run up and strike decisively,

1:45:08

I, it is still, I mean, this is

1:45:10

the fucked up thing is I believe

1:45:13

for the rules, I don't know that you can

1:45:15

do this without. I

1:45:18

don't know that you can attach the hamburger

1:45:20

yourself. Because it is

1:45:22

three, you are tier one, it is

1:45:24

tier five. When you fight

1:45:27

a tier, when you fight anything that is above

1:45:29

you, tier one above you is you have

1:45:31

disadvantage, tier two above you is you have

1:45:35

unless you have ruined, you fail, bite the dust,

1:45:37

tier three above you is you fail, bite the

1:45:40

dust. I imagine this

1:45:42

thing has ruin on it, but you need

1:45:44

to be like part of a tier three

1:45:46

thing to use it, you

1:45:48

know? I'm gonna get the ship over here.

1:45:51

I get or like, or

1:45:54

is it like fizzbee on the shoulder of

1:45:56

Jess's? That was also tier three.

1:45:58

That was also tier three. Yeah,

1:46:00

yeah is mo here mo is

1:46:02

not here Is Cory's mech there? None of the mechs

1:46:05

are here, they're all on the ship and the ship

1:46:07

isn't here yet Oh right Cuz

1:46:09

because you told I don't

1:46:11

know if I can pilot it anymore, you know,

1:46:13

great question You told hunting to wait for the

1:46:15

flares and the flares never showed up I

1:46:18

guess I'm waiting I

1:46:21

do have on me a flare

1:46:24

thing that I could use if

1:46:27

we're outside We're outside

1:46:29

That I got in the first downtime Ooh

1:46:33

Oh The

1:46:35

ripcord flare Wow Concealable

1:46:37

ward loud which I don't know if any

1:46:39

of that applies but I

1:46:42

mean if it's concealable that means you could have it on you

1:46:44

I mean the concealable wouldn't make me have it on me, yeah

1:46:46

It's more just like Yeah Okay

1:46:49

Yeah I mean does Brian tell you that? Because

1:46:52

otherwise you wouldn't know That's true

1:46:55

Popping flares bro Also

1:46:57

wait, would it just be better for me to hop

1:47:00

on Jess's mech's shoulder? Maybe

1:47:03

If that's what I'm mostly gonna do with Moe Because that's

1:47:05

what you do with Moe anyway But Moe

1:47:07

in one tier or lower I think the thing that's

1:47:09

funny is like I think generally speaking that is not

1:47:11

available for people Just be on a mech makes you

1:47:14

tier 3 but that's how you pilot Moe Yeah

1:47:16

So that's not rare for you, do you know what I

1:47:18

mean? Yeah

1:47:20

Is it... This

1:47:23

actually feels rude But

1:47:26

is it like does it count

1:47:28

more if Fizbee goes on the mech and is

1:47:30

able to like Kind of hijack

1:47:32

it a little bit And

1:47:35

do the piloting Yeah

1:47:37

maybe Is

1:47:39

that like some animation matrix stuff? Yeah, uh

1:47:41

huh Or uh Oh that's interesting

1:47:43

Or some integrity stuff? I still got integrity hanging

1:47:45

around to you I feel like

1:47:48

I'm under using integrity You're under utilizing integrity The

1:47:51

integrity plus animation matrix plus this mech that

1:47:53

is based around a motion engine is

1:47:55

fascinating to me Okay

1:47:57

can I make a pitch? Please Um,

1:48:01

you know, uh, Venom,

1:48:03

Spider-Man's Venom? Yeah, yeah, yeah. And

1:48:06

how sometimes, like, goop tentacles shoot out,

1:48:08

grab stuff? Yeah, I know

1:48:10

how goop tentacles shoot out, grab stuff. Um,

1:48:13

what if Sizzby... That's what is happening

1:48:15

with, with, uh, Ivelines, to some degree.

1:48:18

Yeah, sure. Um, what

1:48:20

if Sizzby jump

1:48:22

on Jess at Mac? Uh,

1:48:25

you know, cool jump, do cool jump, run

1:48:27

up arm, do flip. Yeah,

1:48:30

I'm nodding. Does it have,

1:48:32

like, a head, or...? Yeah, it has a head,

1:48:34

that's where the, the screen face is. Yeah.

1:48:37

Okay, um, I'm picturing her, like,

1:48:39

jamming her foot into some sort of,

1:48:41

like, surface thing.

1:48:44

Uh-huh. Um, and then,

1:48:46

like, having her knee sort of against the back

1:48:48

of its neck, um,

1:48:50

as her posture. Right.

1:48:53

Um, and then Venom stuff,

1:48:56

then, like, golden, uh, integrity.

1:48:59

Stuff, like, she... Threads out from... Like,

1:49:02

she reaches her hand or something onto the

1:49:04

back of its head, and then, like, some

1:49:06

integrity shit flows from the nape of her

1:49:08

neck down her arm to the

1:49:10

nape of this thing's neck. Yeah. Um,

1:49:14

and then Sizzby says something like, uh,

1:49:17

apologies, I just need a moment. Uh,

1:49:21

apologies, offerings, I need a moment. Um...

1:49:25

Okay. So, what I'm gonna do next is,

1:49:27

uh, you, you feel a presence. Um,

1:49:31

integrity hits something it didn't expect to hit.

1:49:34

Uh, but it's working. Let's do your roll, and then

1:49:36

we'll wrap back around on integrity. Okay.

1:49:41

Integrity is put a medium for feeling other things.

1:49:43

Uh, this is... Yeah, I'm, I'm kind of putting

1:49:45

integrity through the ringer. Yeah.

1:49:49

Uh, this is strike decisively, um, which,

1:49:52

uh, is clash, I believe.

1:49:55

Hell yeah. I love a clash. So you say

1:49:58

it's plus, plus, uh, but it is...

1:50:00

It is there is a I get okay. So again

1:50:02

really quick. Yeah, this is your force So actually

1:50:05

it's you do have disadvantage because

1:50:07

it's because it is your difference. So 3d6

1:50:09

take lowest I'm

1:50:12

also going to do a thing. That's

1:50:14

mean and spend a token that I have to

1:50:17

force you to act in desperation How

1:50:20

rude Now can

1:50:22

I counteract that? I love

1:50:24

it. I love it. I love it. I

1:50:26

should have just been Keith in the background

1:50:28

being like can I do the move? I

1:50:30

think someone that's gonna roll the equation you

1:50:33

absolutely can but it complicates things for yourself,

1:50:35

right? Yeah, let's look at let's

1:50:37

just take a look at my wrist. I just have

1:50:39

one risk. I think yeah, oh well I'm

1:50:41

overwhelmed. Yeah, I've won arrow. Yeah Mm-hmm.

1:50:45

Oh, this actually works out perfectly Keith because I

1:50:47

want to complicate something for myself because I've been

1:50:49

just sitting here So yeah, I gotcha I'm

1:50:53

also looking for an excuse to make

1:50:55

an eclectic clock. Yeah Well, I just

1:50:57

lost my only clock so this is

1:50:59

it This is yeah, I met a

1:51:01

gamey but and not like a collecting

1:51:04

isn't literally doing something for you. I

1:51:06

know All

1:51:11

right, okay, so what am I rolling

1:51:13

you were just rolling 3d6 plus plus

1:51:15

2 but take lowest Okay,

1:51:17

because it's still disadvantage Well,

1:51:19

don't matter High

1:51:22

five five plus yeah, that's a

1:51:24

well fake phone number. Damn Hollywood

1:51:29

phone number roll Yeah,

1:51:32

so yeah, you're able to charge forward and

1:51:35

slam this concrete hamburger seat belt

1:51:39

And the tendrils inside of

1:51:41

it kind of It's

1:51:44

also sort of a venom thing in the sense of

1:51:46

like these weird tendrils pop out of it and we'll

1:51:48

begin to wrap around ambulance

1:51:52

begins to like Slowly

1:51:54

restrain it into place And

1:51:58

the concrete begins to spread through it

1:52:01

and it slowly begins to solidify.

1:52:04

Probably the fight people have been

1:52:07

dying for, evil venom versus question

1:52:09

mark on the line kind of

1:52:11

venom on our team

1:52:13

venom. Yeah, that's right. A little different.

1:52:15

Yeah, I love Mugen. That's

1:52:19

right, yes. I

1:52:21

guess, you know, everyone does have kind of a virtual

1:52:23

fighter. Is it Durandal

1:52:26

in virtual fighter? Is that right?

1:52:28

It's just Doral, something like that,

1:52:31
