1
00:00:04,280 --> 00:00:07,392
Terry, we do have one more check on that...

2
00:00:07,874 --> 00:00:08,654
on that...

3
00:00:08,654 --> 00:00:11,417
the homicide at Capitol Hill where...

4
00:00:11,417 --> 00:00:13,058
uh where...

5
00:00:13,058 --> 00:00:16,582
um No, I'm sorry.

6
00:00:16,582 --> 00:00:17,722
Can we cut?

7
00:00:18,644 --> 00:00:19,004
What?

8
00:00:19,004 --> 00:00:22,578
Oh, viewers, I apologize.

9
00:00:22,578 --> 00:00:25,420
We're going to go to Lora with the weather.

10
00:00:28,930 --> 00:00:40,176
We are getting ready to get started on the third and final scenario in Demnatio Memoriae
by Hank Ballinger.

11
00:00:40,176 --> 00:00:44,218
Once again, I'll tell you the name of the scenario at the very end.

12
00:00:49,006 --> 00:00:56,912
The last time we left off, December 30th, 2024, you were in Roger Douglas's home.

13
00:00:56,912 --> 00:01:00,514
The four of you were speaking to Roger Douglas.

14
00:01:00,514 --> 00:01:15,095
He had given you all these dossiers full of information, full of notes, printouts, and
Agent Morrison remembered something.

15
00:01:15,095 --> 00:01:17,326
Agent Morrison remembered...

16
00:01:17,346 --> 00:01:19,788
what Roger Douglas was talking about.

17
00:01:19,788 --> 00:01:33,497
Roger Douglas was telling you that Morrison, Magpie, Mull, Miles, the four of you were all
together with him, Agent Liam, for Operation Hilo Legacy.

18
00:01:33,497 --> 00:01:47,304
And Morrison remembered that and began to recount that tale to try and remind Miles,
Magpie, and Mull about what happened during Hilo Legacy.

19
00:01:47,304 --> 00:02:05,361
And where we're going to cut back in is after that revelation has washed over the four of
you, after this memory has snapped back into focus as you, as the four of you remember

20
00:02:05,361 --> 00:02:12,044
death and blood, the unnatural destruction, fire, screaming.

21
00:02:12,184 --> 00:02:17,154
Mul remembers eight months of physical therapy for his knee.

22
00:02:17,154 --> 00:02:18,955
that he'd put out of his mind.

23
00:02:18,955 --> 00:02:22,917
Morrison, you've got what you'd been thinking of as...

24
00:02:22,917 --> 00:02:25,419
He hadn't really been thinking about them, but they look like...

25
00:02:25,419 --> 00:02:27,550
like cigarette butt scars.

26
00:02:27,550 --> 00:02:33,183
Like somebody had been putting out cigarettes all over your arms, but you know that's not
what it is.

27
00:02:33,183 --> 00:02:36,965
You had sort of just rationalized that away before.

28
00:02:36,965 --> 00:02:37,765
Okay.

29
00:02:37,765 --> 00:02:39,526
So, that was...

30
00:02:39,626 --> 00:02:46,670
Mull at 11, Magpie at 5, Morrison at 4, and Miles at...

31
00:02:46,670 --> 00:02:47,610
Three.

32
00:02:47,610 --> 00:02:48,970
This is...

33
00:02:48,970 --> 00:02:49,630
Six.

34
00:02:49,630 --> 00:02:49,770
Six.

35
00:02:49,770 --> 00:02:50,370
Six.

36
00:02:50,370 --> 00:02:51,230
Okay.

37
00:02:51,230 --> 00:02:52,310
Mullet 11.

38
00:02:52,510 --> 00:02:54,370
Six for Magpie.

39
00:02:54,390 --> 00:02:56,070
Four for Morrison.

40
00:02:56,150 --> 00:02:57,050
Three for Miles.

41
00:02:57,050 --> 00:02:58,230
Is that correct?

42
00:02:59,310 --> 00:03:00,270
Alright.

43
00:03:00,630 --> 00:03:01,310
So...

44
00:03:01,310 --> 00:03:04,250
We didn't do this in the moment.

45
00:03:04,250 --> 00:03:06,450
Sort of intentionally on my part.

46
00:03:06,450 --> 00:03:10,610
But you can push Sandloss off on Bonds.

47
00:03:10,610 --> 00:03:13,670
This would have been really complicated to do in the...

48
00:03:13,670 --> 00:03:14,130
Uh...

49
00:03:14,130 --> 00:03:14,950
Past?

50
00:03:14,950 --> 00:03:16,618
But if you would like to...

51
00:03:16,618 --> 00:03:22,501
now would be a great time to push a little bit of that sand loss off.

52
00:03:22,501 --> 00:03:31,982
Is anybody here going to do that instead of going temporarily insane in front of your star
witness?

53
00:03:31,982 --> 00:03:39,082
am going to try 40 minus 11, put me to 29 and we hit a breaking point and then I'm going
to project.

54
00:03:39,128 --> 00:03:39,641
Yep.

55
00:03:39,641 --> 00:03:43,237
Who else is going to project?

56
00:03:43,598 --> 00:03:44,506
I think I'm just gonna eat it.

57
00:03:44,506 --> 00:03:45,878
No projection here.

58
00:03:45,878 --> 00:03:48,830
Okay, you're gonna go temporarily insane.

59
00:03:50,367 --> 00:03:51,948
Yeah, honestly, that seems right.

60
00:03:51,948 --> 00:03:53,067
Yeah, that's a good...

61
00:03:53,067 --> 00:03:54,380
that's probably pretty fair.

62
00:03:54,380 --> 00:04:01,310
Yeah, Miles will eat a c*** only three, so he won't go temporarily insane.

63
00:04:02,035 --> 00:04:08,294
Yeah, I think I'll just eat it as well, because I shouldn't go temporarily insane from
just four, right?

64
00:04:08,294 --> 00:04:10,031
It's five in one go that does that.

65
00:04:10,031 --> 00:04:11,235
That is correct.

66
00:04:11,235 --> 00:04:11,978
Okay.

67
00:04:11,978 --> 00:04:16,718
Okay, then the only one projecting onto a bond is going to be Mo.

68
00:04:16,718 --> 00:04:23,566
Okay, so that's a default write ah and then we'll take that from whatever I roll I take
from Willpower and from...

69
00:04:23,627 --> 00:04:24,814
A bond.

70
00:04:26,079 --> 00:04:27,043
before.

71
00:04:27,566 --> 00:04:27,946
Okie doke.

72
00:04:27,946 --> 00:04:28,846
Pretty good.

73
00:04:28,846 --> 00:04:29,426
Pretty good.

74
00:04:29,426 --> 00:04:30,006
good.

75
00:04:30,006 --> 00:04:32,186
So you're going to take 10.

76
00:04:32,186 --> 00:04:35,946
You are still going to hit that breaking point.

77
00:04:35,946 --> 00:04:43,906
What that's going to do is it's going to put your next breaking point not at 24.

78
00:04:44,246 --> 00:04:46,862
It's going to put it at...

79
00:04:46,862 --> 00:04:48,844
be 22, right?

80
00:04:48,844 --> 00:04:50,095
Yes, that is correct.

81
00:04:50,095 --> 00:04:50,735
22.

82
00:04:50,735 --> 00:04:58,898
Mo, did you want to take that obsession slash parasitosis, delusional parasitosis as your
next Yes, for sure.

83
00:04:59,959 --> 00:05:01,219
Sounds good.

84
00:05:01,219 --> 00:05:05,761
You are also going to go temporarily insane as we snap back into this.

85
00:05:05,761 --> 00:05:18,046
Magpie and Mo, the two of you watch like you're sitting in the audience of a theater,
watch these horrible, horrible things play back.

86
00:05:18,080 --> 00:05:25,214
and the realization of what's happened and what's going to happen, it sort of comes back
to you.

87
00:05:25,214 --> 00:05:39,042
And as you guys sort of rock back in your heels for this realization, there's a feeling
like hands clapping right in front of your fucking face.

88
00:05:39,042 --> 00:05:42,244
And for a moment, you are somewhere else.

89
00:05:42,244 --> 00:05:46,914
An enormous red star dominates the sky.

90
00:05:46,914 --> 00:05:52,058
dim light rendering everything in uniform, weak red dusk.

91
00:05:52,058 --> 00:06:05,228
You see a flash of an endless lake of mud surface baking before rocking back into place,
everything as you left it in Roger Douglas's house.

92
00:06:05,228 --> 00:06:11,063
The two of you, what order do you think you would like to fight, flight, or freeze?

93
00:06:11,063 --> 00:06:13,044
What seems most likely to you two?

94
00:06:13,120 --> 00:06:19,094
Mole is definitely fight, then flight, then freeze.

95
00:06:19,094 --> 00:06:21,235
Meaning, fight's the most likely.

96
00:06:21,235 --> 00:06:22,506
Mole is a person of...

97
00:06:22,506 --> 00:06:22,956
Damn.

98
00:06:22,956 --> 00:06:23,747
Yeah, Mole's a...

99
00:06:23,747 --> 00:06:26,108
Well, Mole's a dude of action, I would say.

100
00:06:26,108 --> 00:06:28,850
He's a doer, not a kind of watcher, you know?

101
00:06:28,850 --> 00:06:29,409
Okay.

102
00:06:29,409 --> 00:06:33,443
So I think freeze is like the antithesis to what Mole would do at this point.

103
00:06:33,443 --> 00:06:37,706
Especially knowing we have this like megalomania obsession.

104
00:06:37,706 --> 00:06:38,283
So...

105
00:06:38,283 --> 00:06:41,099
Speaking of which, roll sand for me real quick.

106
00:06:41,175 --> 00:06:44,822
Yeah, Magpie's order of operations is the same.

107
00:06:44,866 --> 00:06:47,590
That was fight, then flight, then freeze?

108
00:06:47,590 --> 00:06:48,150
Yes.

109
00:06:48,150 --> 00:06:48,711
Okay.

110
00:06:48,711 --> 00:06:51,694
Then how's that second San roll?

111
00:06:52,306 --> 00:06:53,832
75, what do you know?

112
00:06:53,832 --> 00:06:54,919
You fail.

113
00:06:54,919 --> 00:06:57,543
That is an acute episode.

114
00:06:57,543 --> 00:06:58,484
What do you think?

115
00:06:58,484 --> 00:07:03,520
An acute episode of delusional parasitosis or an acute episode of megalomania?

116
00:07:03,520 --> 00:07:06,252
So I've decided to combine them.

117
00:07:06,252 --> 00:07:15,477
So what Mole is experiencing right now is that he has something in his brain, those worms.

118
00:07:15,597 --> 00:07:16,618
He is sure of it.

119
00:07:16,618 --> 00:07:23,242
He's also sure that he was put on earth to take in everybody else's sins.

120
00:07:23,242 --> 00:07:25,603
ah And this is what he's doing.

121
00:07:25,603 --> 00:07:30,832
So he believes himself to be like a Christ-like figure, is what I'm gonna say.

122
00:07:30,832 --> 00:07:33,816
Okay, well both of you give me a d6.

123
00:07:34,838 --> 00:07:41,709
Well, Mull is catatonic and Magpie, during the next scene you're going to fight.

124
00:07:41,709 --> 00:07:45,354
What is the threat in Magpie's eyes?

125
00:07:45,442 --> 00:07:59,496
Yeah, I think in the uh kind of snapback to reality there is, you know, just a bunch of
images whooshing through and to the point where I've seen all of these faces around me in

126
00:07:59,496 --> 00:08:05,888
conjunction and interspersed with, you know, alien cephalopods or what have you.

127
00:08:05,888 --> 00:08:11,669
And any one of them could be infected with one of these things.

128
00:08:11,809 --> 00:08:13,780
And there is just a flurry.

129
00:08:13,780 --> 00:08:15,064
There's no way to know.

130
00:08:15,064 --> 00:08:16,704
Who is who at this point?

131
00:08:16,704 --> 00:08:18,414
It's the thing up in here.

132
00:08:18,414 --> 00:08:20,238
Yeah, that makes sense to me.

133
00:08:20,238 --> 00:08:22,958
Okay, then let's get this party started.

134
00:08:22,958 --> 00:08:32,684
Can I give you, really quickly, I think that in his catatonic state though, in Mole's
head, he is not catatonic.

135
00:08:32,684 --> 00:08:41,109
He is seeing, right, like a bright light come down from inside the room that we're all in
and it's shining on him.

136
00:08:41,109 --> 00:08:43,450
He's now like dressed in kind of robes.

137
00:08:43,450 --> 00:08:47,762
Yeah, he's ascending and he's like giving a sermon to everybody in the room.

138
00:08:47,762 --> 00:08:50,454
What you guys see is him just like catatonic staring up.

139
00:08:50,454 --> 00:08:52,428
Yeah, for sure, for sure, for sure.

140
00:08:52,428 --> 00:08:55,925
Oh, hey, the two of you, give me another D6.

141
00:08:56,414 --> 00:08:58,210
Why do we get to all the fun?

142
00:08:58,210 --> 00:08:59,182
Et tu?

143
00:08:59,182 --> 00:09:11,758
ah Add that much to your unnatural skill for the insane insight brought to you during this
time of hardship.

144
00:09:11,758 --> 00:09:13,698
Gotta remember, I have an 11 in Unnatural.

145
00:09:13,698 --> 00:09:16,278
I could actually try to some stuff here.

146
00:09:16,278 --> 00:09:16,538
Yeah?

147
00:09:16,538 --> 00:09:17,638
If I ever go-

148
00:09:20,002 --> 00:09:25,365
All of you sort of remember everything that Roger was telling you.

149
00:09:25,365 --> 00:09:34,109
And there's the space of about a breath, I think, before Magpie springs into action.

150
00:09:34,109 --> 00:09:37,160
What are you- what are you- how's this- how does this play out?

151
00:09:37,612 --> 00:09:38,263
Yeah.

152
00:09:38,263 --> 00:09:43,446
You can see there's a bit of realization dawning on everybody's faces.

153
00:09:43,446 --> 00:09:48,530
It looks like they're coming to terms with something similar to what I just realized as
well.

154
00:09:48,530 --> 00:09:50,771
But they all look pretty calm with it.

155
00:09:50,771 --> 00:09:52,232
At peace, even.

156
00:09:52,232 --> 00:09:55,795
And that doesn't rightly square with what I know.

157
00:09:55,795 --> 00:10:03,720
On a counter, I just saw something worm in its way into each one of our brains,
potentially.

158
00:10:03,720 --> 00:10:06,732
And I seem to be the only one...

159
00:10:06,798 --> 00:10:14,062
I'm worried about it properly in this moment you see my hand reaching down into my long
jacket.

160
00:10:14,062 --> 00:10:16,804
and I think probably we're in initiative for.

161
00:10:16,942 --> 00:10:18,732
Okay, he's first then.

162
00:10:18,733 --> 00:10:19,612
Yep.

163
00:10:20,558 --> 00:10:22,796
Alright Magpie, with your seventeen.

164
00:10:22,808 --> 00:10:23,499
Yeah.

165
00:10:23,499 --> 00:10:40,113
You see me take a squirrely step back and uh a long, you know, two foot swatch of a long
cope comes up and just starts to erupt in star fire from the end as there's a spray from

166
00:10:40,113 --> 00:10:41,574
left to right on for-

167
00:10:46,024 --> 00:10:50,538
So, is this your submachine gun?

168
00:10:50,538 --> 00:10:52,499
Okay, very good.

169
00:10:53,640 --> 00:10:54,441
wow.

170
00:10:54,441 --> 00:10:56,682
Yeah, roll to hit.

171
00:10:56,682 --> 00:10:58,884
You will make a single die roll.

172
00:10:58,884 --> 00:11:06,229
It's at a minus 20, since you are doing sort of covering fire, trying to lay down an area.

173
00:11:06,798 --> 00:11:08,918
Hey, that's good for you.

174
00:11:09,158 --> 00:11:12,680
59 fails with a minus.

175
00:11:12,680 --> 00:11:14,131
Thank God.

176
00:11:14,131 --> 00:11:15,951
That thing deals lethality.

177
00:11:15,951 --> 00:11:16,892
Yeah.

178
00:11:17,012 --> 00:11:18,172
Alright.

179
00:11:18,272 --> 00:11:19,073
Okay.

180
00:11:19,073 --> 00:11:20,053
Yeah.

181
00:11:20,053 --> 00:11:22,954
there is noise and light.

182
00:11:22,954 --> 00:11:24,735
Morrison, you are up.

183
00:11:24,735 --> 00:11:34,739
Magpie has just taken a breath, stepped back, reached into his coat, lifted up, and has
just opened fire on everyone.

184
00:11:34,739 --> 00:11:38,721
It looks like he's maybe shaken.

185
00:11:38,721 --> 00:11:41,962
He's not- he's not really aiming.

186
00:11:43,699 --> 00:11:49,526
Yeah, I imagine because we were in his house right and there's like papers and crap all
over so there's this

187
00:11:49,526 --> 00:11:51,682
He's now just loading into like-

188
00:11:51,682 --> 00:12:04,049
wood splintering and like shards of paper just lots of like half empty glasses because he
never does dishes just like splash I guess I imagine that as he like sweeps across the

189
00:12:04,049 --> 00:12:14,156
room we kind of see that and he somehow misses everyone and I think I just dive at him and
try to like take him down like not hurt him but just like incapacitate

190
00:12:14,156 --> 00:12:15,807
Yeah, sure, sure, sure, sure, sure.

191
00:12:15,807 --> 00:12:22,802
um Go on ahead and give me an unarmed magpie.

192
00:12:22,802 --> 00:12:25,414
You don't have to roll anything until we find out.

193
00:12:25,414 --> 00:12:26,154
f***?

194
00:12:27,495 --> 00:12:32,059
Okay, magpie, would you like to fight back or dodge?

195
00:12:32,059 --> 00:12:37,102
If you do neither of those things, this tackle is going to succeed.

196
00:12:37,102 --> 00:12:42,696
em It does it it hampers my next turn if I were to do something about it

197
00:12:42,696 --> 00:12:43,749
Uh, correct.

198
00:12:43,749 --> 00:12:49,518
If you fight back or dodge, that takes up your action for the next turn.

199
00:12:49,518 --> 00:12:50,924
Does that feel like it's...

200
00:12:50,924 --> 00:12:55,208
Does Dodge then feel like it's competing with the desire to fight?

201
00:12:55,208 --> 00:12:58,318
Um, I think if you get grabbed you're not going to be able to fight.

202
00:12:58,318 --> 00:13:00,078
but then I guess I'm budging.

203
00:13:00,538 --> 00:13:03,318
Yeah, 39 is less than a 50.

204
00:13:03,318 --> 00:13:11,046
Okay, yeah, you succeed, you nimbly, uh, get out of the way of this Agent Morrison bull
rushing you.

205
00:13:11,046 --> 00:13:17,038
You think you'll probably have a pretty good line of sight on him the next time you take a
shot.

206
00:13:17,038 --> 00:13:18,988
Because he's right up in your face now.

207
00:13:18,988 --> 00:13:24,385
I whip my coat past and I just say, Toro, Toro, and I bring the barrel around to the left.

208
00:13:25,590 --> 00:13:27,790
Moll, what does everybody see?

209
00:13:27,790 --> 00:13:34,907
um You guys see Mole basically staring off into the distance in a corner and he's
whispering to himself a little bit.

210
00:13:34,907 --> 00:13:43,867
Nothing, what you can hear is uh what sound like mangled, maybe just like Catholic
religious uh stuff.

211
00:13:43,867 --> 00:13:51,320
uh Specifically, I think he's muttering, forgive them dad, they don't know what they did
over and over and over and over under his breath.

212
00:13:51,320 --> 00:13:51,850
Terrific.

213
00:13:51,850 --> 00:13:56,013
uh That brings us to Agent Ian.

214
00:13:56,013 --> 00:14:04,098
Agent Liam, who is going to also attempt to tackle Magpie.

215
00:14:04,098 --> 00:14:07,300
uh Magpie, you rolled a 39, you said?

216
00:14:07,700 --> 00:14:11,803
That opposes all hand-to-hand combat checks for this round.

217
00:14:11,803 --> 00:14:16,335
uh He also got an aught six, which is not going to do it.

218
00:14:16,335 --> 00:14:17,426
He is...

219
00:14:17,432 --> 00:14:25,742
He's gonna- he- he wants to be in your face at the very least, sort of screening the
others, if he can.

220
00:14:25,742 --> 00:14:31,150
It's a wild choice to try and screen a man who's putting down suppressive fire, but okay.

221
00:14:31,150 --> 00:14:31,771
Uh-huh.

222
00:14:31,771 --> 00:14:35,116
Well, he already made his choice not to dive for cover.

223
00:14:35,116 --> 00:14:37,295
So, Miles, what do?

224
00:14:37,295 --> 00:14:44,531
Can Miles quickly recall the hand symbols that he read in Chinese?

225
00:14:44,573 --> 00:14:46,897
It only takes seven seconds to do this.

226
00:14:46,944 --> 00:14:50,282
It only takes seven seconds to do this.

227
00:14:50,284 --> 00:14:50,644
What?

228
00:14:50,644 --> 00:14:52,891
Oh, the full set.

229
00:14:52,891 --> 00:14:53,733
Okay.

230
00:14:53,733 --> 00:14:54,675
Wow.

231
00:14:54,675 --> 00:14:55,257
Huh.

232
00:14:55,257 --> 00:14:56,110
Yeah.

233
00:14:56,110 --> 00:14:58,699
Let's turn it up to 11 right from the start.

234
00:14:58,994 --> 00:15:00,615
Back to reality.

235
00:15:00,615 --> 00:15:15,503
Yeah All right, I'm want a few things from you Nick step one miles roll a d4 You lose for
sanity right off the bat.

236
00:15:15,503 --> 00:15:26,382
Okay step two lose three willpower and another sanity So you are going to after this turn
go temporarily insane?

237
00:15:26,382 --> 00:15:27,982
Unless I project butch.

238
00:15:27,982 --> 00:15:32,362
Unless you project, I would consider doing that if I were you.

239
00:15:32,362 --> 00:15:39,142
Next, I need a sanity check- Well, okay, I need you to decide right now, are you
projecting?

240
00:15:40,322 --> 00:15:41,222
With this one?

241
00:15:41,222 --> 00:15:48,942
if you do not- So, a little behind the curtain here, you're about to make a sanity check
at your new sanity value.

242
00:15:48,942 --> 00:15:54,842
If you succeed, you're going to fail to do the signs properly.

243
00:15:54,842 --> 00:15:56,258
If you fail-

244
00:15:56,258 --> 00:15:59,348
you will succeed at doing the signs properly.

245
00:15:59,348 --> 00:16:00,559
Does that make sense?

246
00:16:00,559 --> 00:16:03,168
Yep, so I will not project then.

247
00:16:04,015 --> 00:16:05,050
My loss.

248
00:16:05,050 --> 00:16:05,770
Yep.

249
00:16:05,770 --> 00:16:09,370
Then who are you addressing?

250
00:16:09,418 --> 00:16:11,283
I yell magpie.

251
00:16:11,283 --> 00:16:15,128
And what memory are you calling for?

252
00:16:15,128 --> 00:16:20,967
Him seeing any of the paperwork that was revealed to him by Rogers.

253
00:16:20,967 --> 00:16:23,550
So I'm trying to erase his entire flashback.

254
00:16:23,630 --> 00:16:25,077
Okay, I'm...

255
00:16:25,077 --> 00:16:25,861
boy.

256
00:16:25,861 --> 00:16:27,589
That's gonna fuck shit right up.

257
00:16:27,589 --> 00:16:28,551
Alright.

258
00:16:29,006 --> 00:16:32,906
That has been 100 % of this episode.

259
00:16:34,526 --> 00:16:37,625
People taking decisions to fuck shit up.

260
00:16:38,371 --> 00:16:43,185
I would like opposed power checks from both of you.

261
00:16:43,278 --> 00:16:45,358
27 under 70.

262
00:16:45,358 --> 00:16:47,170
57 under 70.

263
00:16:47,170 --> 00:16:54,350
Miles, would you like to spend three willpower in order to take a second crack?

264
00:16:54,350 --> 00:16:59,984
do this again but yeah sure sure 31 under

265
00:16:59,984 --> 00:17:02,826
Okay, let me see if...

266
00:17:03,907 --> 00:17:06,649
Yeah, another opposed check from Magpie.

267
00:17:06,649 --> 00:17:08,270
doesn't keep the last roll.

268
00:17:10,292 --> 00:17:12,728
Okay, Miles, no dice.

269
00:17:12,728 --> 00:17:13,399
Right.

270
00:17:13,399 --> 00:17:14,880
I tried, guys.

271
00:17:15,001 --> 00:17:23,660
You see me flip through some hand symbols and just shout Magpie and just some mental
exhaustion hit me.

272
00:17:23,714 --> 00:17:26,901
What are the words you use to call up the memory?

273
00:17:26,901 --> 00:17:27,602
Magpie.

274
00:17:27,602 --> 00:17:28,384
The papers?

275
00:17:28,384 --> 00:17:29,474
Magpie.

276
00:17:29,474 --> 00:17:33,902
Yeah, would yell, Magpie, forget Rogers.

277
00:17:34,050 --> 00:17:36,131
I like that a lot, unfortunate.

278
00:17:36,131 --> 00:17:42,613
Um, there is a quiet wave of just...

279
00:17:42,693 --> 00:17:46,955
just rises in a ring around miles for a moment.

280
00:17:46,955 --> 00:17:51,536
This is visibly something changes and something happens.

281
00:17:51,536 --> 00:17:57,466
ah But it is unclear what magpie you are up

282
00:17:57,466 --> 00:18:06,136
Yeah, well, ah it was just uh Morrison and Agent Liam that come at me.

283
00:18:06,838 --> 00:18:10,338
But I did spend my turn dodging, so is that-

284
00:18:10,338 --> 00:18:12,265
Yes, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

285
00:18:12,459 --> 00:18:14,632
Yeah, see, I mean, it's curious on account.

286
00:18:14,632 --> 00:18:22,354
I don't I don't know that there's a way to get back into like get back to the tempo once
you've Forgot it.

287
00:18:22,354 --> 00:18:24,588
So maybe I'm just getting dog piled here

288
00:18:24,588 --> 00:18:37,142
Well, ah it would be if they succeed either, they might both fail hand-to-hand combat
against you next round, in which case that opens you up to taking shots, or they attack

289
00:18:37,142 --> 00:18:43,228
you hand-to-hand and you choose fight back, which lets you start taking unarmed shots at
them.

290
00:18:43,602 --> 00:18:44,605
Understood.

291
00:18:45,844 --> 00:18:48,444
Well, you can still like move and stuff.

292
00:18:48,444 --> 00:18:51,402
Do you want to find more advantageous position?

293
00:18:51,734 --> 00:18:55,019
It's not actually that much more advantageous, it's back in the corner.

294
00:18:55,019 --> 00:19:00,508
It's really just a better angle for the next seconds.

295
00:19:00,508 --> 00:19:02,030
And when I get there.

296
00:19:02,030 --> 00:19:03,938
Yeah, okay.

297
00:19:03,938 --> 00:19:05,382
Morrison, what are you doing?

298
00:19:05,382 --> 00:19:17,307
Hmm really decide I mean I could shoot him but unless I shoot the gun out of his hand he's
just gonna shoot me back ah I think I have to try and tackle him again, and I'm like okay.

299
00:19:17,307 --> 00:19:24,941
I'm not falling for your bullfighter shit this time magpie That's a 72 do we restart with
luck this time?

300
00:19:24,941 --> 00:19:33,324
Okay, all right, so yeah, I'll use a luck point to switch that to a 27 which is a pass

301
00:19:33,590 --> 00:19:34,414
rise.

302
00:19:34,414 --> 00:19:38,105
Magpie, you like to fight back or dodge?

303
00:19:38,188 --> 00:19:41,198
No, I don't think it's right to interfere with the cosmos like that.

304
00:19:41,198 --> 00:19:45,758
Alright, then you are going to be tackled to the ground.

305
00:19:45,758 --> 00:19:54,978
Agent Liam is going to try to kneel on your right arm so that he can start prying your gun
out of your hands.

306
00:19:54,978 --> 00:19:58,938
He's going to roll unarmed with a plus 20.

307
00:19:58,938 --> 00:20:02,338
And then you can, we'll see what happens and see what you have to do.

308
00:20:02,338 --> 00:20:05,738
He's going to get a 67 on a...

309
00:20:05,738 --> 00:20:08,718
He's going to get a 67 on a 40.

310
00:20:08,718 --> 00:20:10,278
Okay, fine.

311
00:20:10,988 --> 00:20:13,153
He kneels on your arm.

312
00:20:13,153 --> 00:20:15,648
He's got 20 points in unarmed combat.

313
00:20:15,648 --> 00:20:16,800
Thanks, Lee.

314
00:20:17,004 --> 00:20:19,201
He talks a big game, now look at him.

315
00:20:19,201 --> 00:20:20,783
God damnit Liam.

316
00:20:21,400 --> 00:20:24,492
He's emaciated and...

317
00:20:24,970 --> 00:20:26,133
Like, he...

318
00:20:26,534 --> 00:20:37,582
Anyways, he is trying to kneel on your arm, but instead, you just sort of bend your elbow
and wind up basically pressing the barrel to his gut.

319
00:20:37,582 --> 00:20:38,412
Mul.

320
00:20:38,414 --> 00:20:40,981
Chill the fuck out and know my dad is here.

321
00:20:40,981 --> 00:20:43,245
He whispers underneath his breath.

322
00:20:43,288 --> 00:20:43,709
Very good.

323
00:20:43,709 --> 00:20:48,568
Uh, that ends Mul's compulsion.

324
00:20:48,568 --> 00:20:50,240
Miles, what are you up to?

325
00:20:50,252 --> 00:20:52,910
Miles is going to charge forward.

326
00:20:52,910 --> 00:20:56,050
Or did I go temporarily insane or since it didn't act?

327
00:20:56,050 --> 00:20:57,291
Yes, that's right.

328
00:20:57,291 --> 00:20:58,382
You certainly do.

329
00:20:58,382 --> 00:21:00,433
Hey, how much willpower do you have left?

330
00:21:00,434 --> 00:21:01,955
I have a very good.

331
00:21:01,955 --> 00:21:06,270
Thanks Would you be most likely to fight flight or freeze?

332
00:21:06,270 --> 00:21:11,912
There's already been one burst of automatic gunfire, but you are the thing that made you
crack

333
00:21:12,024 --> 00:21:17,854
Yeah, I think he would absolutely freeze.

334
00:21:17,890 --> 00:21:18,512
Okay.

335
00:21:18,512 --> 00:21:18,933
Yeah.

336
00:21:18,933 --> 00:21:20,738
Uh, and then what?

337
00:21:20,738 --> 00:21:23,449
Yeah, he tries to do this thing.

338
00:21:23,449 --> 00:21:34,344
He's a scientist and he just dipped his toes into the unnatural as like a he's been having
these symbols in his head with these hand gestures and it backfires.

339
00:21:34,344 --> 00:21:41,618
It feels like to him and he's frozen in place, rethinking everything he understands about
reality.

340
00:21:41,618 --> 00:21:47,028
And he gets frozen by the fact that this could even be something that

341
00:21:47,028 --> 00:21:58,303
is pretend forgotten, he has no idea like if this is real, and just kind of sits down in
place where he's at, or kneels I would say, not sits down.

342
00:21:59,123 --> 00:22:05,646
Yeah, falls to his knees and probably starts weeping a little bit and trying to hide it
with his arms.

343
00:22:05,646 --> 00:22:13,101
Sure, Yeah, I meant uh ranked uh order of fight, flight or freeze and then roll it, except
I like that a lot.

344
00:22:13,101 --> 00:22:18,556
So that's what happens.

345
00:22:18,556 --> 00:22:25,860
Speaking of uh sanity, can I get a sand check from Morrison and Miles?

346
00:22:27,222 --> 00:22:28,322
Terrific.

347
00:22:29,363 --> 00:22:30,564
Love it.

348
00:22:30,564 --> 00:22:33,250
Yeah, the automatic gunfire.

349
00:22:33,250 --> 00:22:33,752
You know what?

350
00:22:33,752 --> 00:22:35,548
Doesn't actually shake you that bad.

351
00:22:35,548 --> 00:22:39,750
You do not take any sin loss for violence.

352
00:22:39,938 --> 00:22:42,090
Yeah, I'm adapted to violence now, but, yeah.

353
00:22:42,090 --> 00:22:43,553
Oh, that's right.

354
00:22:43,553 --> 00:22:45,797
my god, Miles freezes.

355
00:22:45,797 --> 00:22:47,060
Morrison, you're up.

356
00:22:47,060 --> 00:22:48,712
You're kneeling on mag-

357
00:22:49,088 --> 00:22:50,838
Is magpie not up?

358
00:22:50,838 --> 00:22:52,281
Magpie, you're up.

359
00:22:52,281 --> 00:22:54,124
You've- uh...

360
00:22:54,786 --> 00:22:57,352
Being kneeled down by Morrison, your...

361
00:22:57,352 --> 00:22:58,993
gun hand is free.

362
00:22:59,032 --> 00:23:09,206
Yeah, I mean, has my uh compulsion abated or am I just ready to punish Agent Liam for his
moment of weakness?

363
00:23:09,250 --> 00:23:13,506
think you are ready to punish Agent Liam for his moment of weakness.

364
00:23:13,506 --> 00:23:15,976
Yeah, he has altogether too many knees.

365
00:23:16,743 --> 00:23:17,836
For now.

366
00:23:17,836 --> 00:23:19,489
Yeah, okay.

367
00:23:19,489 --> 00:23:20,152
Bye.

368
00:23:20,152 --> 00:23:23,438
Roll firearms with a plus 20.

369
00:23:23,438 --> 00:23:25,454
41 is plankton.

370
00:23:25,454 --> 00:23:26,735
It's a success.

371
00:23:26,796 --> 00:23:30,523
think uh Miles uh would like to...

372
00:23:30,523 --> 00:23:31,464
Well, you can't really...

373
00:23:31,464 --> 00:23:32,827
Yeah, Miles is gonna...

374
00:23:32,827 --> 00:23:33,327
Miles.

375
00:23:33,327 --> 00:23:36,513
uh Liam is going to...

376
00:23:36,513 --> 00:23:39,788
You're not really supposed to be able to fight back against firearms.

377
00:23:39,886 --> 00:23:42,183
kinda like a glorified melee weapon at this point.

378
00:23:42,183 --> 00:23:45,807
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, you're in May- he's gonna try that.

379
00:23:45,998 --> 00:23:48,352
he's gonna fail.

380
00:23:48,352 --> 00:23:51,246
Can you roll a D100 for me?

381
00:23:51,246 --> 00:23:58,245
Okay, let me see how much health Agent Liam has.

382
00:23:58,478 --> 00:23:59,569
Is it nine?

383
00:24:00,332 --> 00:24:01,043
I hope not.

384
00:24:01,043 --> 00:24:02,947
Uh, it's not.

385
00:24:02,947 --> 00:24:03,869
It's not.

386
00:24:03,869 --> 00:24:06,562
It's si- oh

387
00:24:06,562 --> 00:24:11,186
Well, just to be clear, I don't think this was a full auto spray.

388
00:24:11,186 --> 00:24:13,137
On account it was just one.

389
00:24:13,137 --> 00:24:17,045
So if Lethali wasn't necessarily meant to be in the-

390
00:24:17,045 --> 00:24:17,458
good.

391
00:24:17,458 --> 00:24:18,122
Okay.

392
00:24:18,122 --> 00:24:18,644
Very good.

393
00:24:18,644 --> 00:24:20,323
Would you like to roll straight damage then?

394
00:24:20,323 --> 00:24:21,258
Oh yeah!

395
00:24:21,258 --> 00:24:21,718
yeah, yeah.

396
00:24:21,718 --> 00:24:26,022
Well, I mean, just, means there's a 30 % chance that we're in the same place.

397
00:24:26,022 --> 00:24:26,943
But...

398
00:24:26,943 --> 00:24:28,224
I like those odds.

399
00:24:28,344 --> 00:24:28,965
yeah, just two.

400
00:24:28,965 --> 00:24:30,368
Just, it's no big deal.

401
00:24:30,368 --> 00:24:34,564
Just two, just two.

402
00:24:34,625 --> 00:24:38,508
Are you sure you don't want to just blow Liam away here?

403
00:24:38,508 --> 00:24:46,478
Well, look, um, I wouldn't be standing on the business end of a gun if I didn't want it,
so it occurs to me.

404
00:24:46,478 --> 00:24:47,559
Fair enough.

405
00:24:48,402 --> 00:24:51,436
you did actually not mean that to be full-auto, right?

406
00:24:51,436 --> 00:24:56,125
I was just, I think that's part of the scrapping on the ground, right?

407
00:24:56,125 --> 00:24:57,502
It's just kind of like.

408
00:24:57,502 --> 00:24:59,883
not holding that trigger down, it goes off.

409
00:25:01,767 --> 00:25:12,619
Yeah, you get him through the flank, the side, and he screams and puts his hand to it.

410
00:25:12,679 --> 00:25:15,534
With that, you are good.

411
00:25:15,534 --> 00:25:24,083
Actually, think, as soon as he screams out in pain, uh my focus immediately shifts to
someone else.

412
00:25:24,083 --> 00:25:27,092
means clearly he is not at Harvard.

413
00:25:27,092 --> 00:25:28,263
and invulnerable worms.

414
00:25:28,263 --> 00:25:32,742
oh Yes, I like that a lot.

415
00:25:32,742 --> 00:25:33,370
Yeah, I like that.

416
00:25:33,370 --> 00:25:36,133
So heads up, Morrison, you're a f- Yeah.

417
00:25:36,133 --> 00:25:37,093
You're next.

418
00:25:37,093 --> 00:25:42,819
Uh, is he like out of it now or is he just realizing that Liam was not?

419
00:25:42,819 --> 00:25:44,985
Well, he just shot Liam, so...

420
00:25:45,036 --> 00:25:55,744
Okay, but he's like his episode resolved with that or or no or he just doesn't think be
mine uh Whatever the basis zero.

421
00:25:55,744 --> 00:25:57,475
Okay.

422
00:25:57,475 --> 00:26:11,165
Yeah, I I think probably what I do I guess if I see him like shoot Liam and then kind of
like his eyes get large as he realizes like wait This isn't an invulnerable worm thing.

423
00:26:11,165 --> 00:26:13,644
I like reach down to my side

424
00:26:13,644 --> 00:26:17,118
Like maybe I've got my arm on his chest, like forearm across, whatever.

425
00:26:17,118 --> 00:26:20,682
I pull out my pocket knife and I just like cut my own arm.

426
00:26:20,682 --> 00:26:21,527
And I'm like...

427
00:26:21,527 --> 00:26:22,188
Sick.

428
00:26:22,188 --> 00:26:22,739
I love it.

429
00:26:22,739 --> 00:26:25,995
Alright, uh take one point of damage.

430
00:26:26,557 --> 00:26:31,182
don't have to roll damage because this is a controlled thing you're doing to yourself.

431
00:26:31,182 --> 00:26:33,806
It's not me, it's not me, no worms, no worms.

432
00:26:33,806 --> 00:26:37,672
I also take my knife and I throw it at Maul, no I'm kidding.

433
00:26:37,672 --> 00:26:39,586
Stick him right in the shoulder.

434
00:26:39,586 --> 00:26:41,651
Mo, you can act.

435
00:26:41,653 --> 00:26:46,977
You are still experiencing an acute episode of All That Jazz.

436
00:26:46,977 --> 00:26:48,019
Yeah.

437
00:26:48,869 --> 00:26:50,072
let's see.

438
00:26:50,542 --> 00:26:57,869
Since knife comes flying and it nicks you in the side and it just pours out a little bit
of water separated from blood.

439
00:26:58,691 --> 00:27:01,032
Wine just starts leaking from me.

440
00:27:02,233 --> 00:27:03,894
Shit.

441
00:27:03,894 --> 00:27:08,057
I would like to say Mola's gonna be helpful, but he's not gonna be helpful, unfortunately.

442
00:27:08,057 --> 00:27:16,234
uh I think, so basically, he snaps out, he was in this reverie that he was like,
sermonizing, you know, to everybody.

443
00:27:16,234 --> 00:27:25,030
And now all of a sudden, what he sees, Magpie and Morrison on the floor, Miles on the
ground, and Liam.

444
00:27:25,030 --> 00:27:30,132
and then Miles on the ground kind of crying, I guess, is what he's snapped back to.

445
00:27:30,132 --> 00:27:35,073
um Let's see, would Mold know who is doing what?

446
00:27:35,073 --> 00:27:38,154
Probably not, but he would see Magpie with a gun, right?

447
00:27:38,154 --> 00:27:40,635
And Morrison cutting himself.

448
00:27:40,635 --> 00:27:42,105
Honestly, yeah, right?

449
00:27:42,105 --> 00:27:48,257
I think he would maybe, I think he would know enough to know that like, well, you said I'm
not outside of my thing, right?

450
00:27:48,257 --> 00:27:50,530
My temporary insanity at this point.

451
00:27:50,530 --> 00:27:51,266
Yes.

452
00:27:51,266 --> 00:27:52,949
You are outside of temporary.

453
00:27:52,949 --> 00:27:55,335
sanity, it's my megalomania.

454
00:27:55,754 --> 00:28:00,930
in the grips of an acute episode of megalomania and obsession.

455
00:28:00,930 --> 00:28:07,413
Yeah, I think he just walks over to Magpie and he's like, ah my son, give me your gun and
then reaches for the gun.

456
00:28:07,413 --> 00:28:11,876
um And then he says, not all crosses our wood.

457
00:28:11,876 --> 00:28:16,908
Some are worms wriggling in the back of our skulls as he's reaching for your gun itself.

458
00:28:17,260 --> 00:28:22,738
Alright, I would let you roll Persuade, except you automatically fail at those.

459
00:28:22,738 --> 00:28:23,579
Yep.

460
00:28:24,121 --> 00:28:27,365
Which seems fair for the thing you just fucking said, so...

461
00:28:27,365 --> 00:28:28,226
Correct.

462
00:28:28,226 --> 00:28:37,080
Yeah, somehow, no matter how convincing all your words before were, once worms enter the
equation, everything's color different.

463
00:28:37,080 --> 00:28:37,391
Yep.

464
00:28:37,391 --> 00:28:37,741
Yep.

465
00:28:37,741 --> 00:28:38,312
Think so.

466
00:28:38,312 --> 00:28:42,819
uh Miles, uh you are catatonic.

467
00:28:42,819 --> 00:28:45,324
uh

468
00:28:45,324 --> 00:28:53,196
Yeah, he would be rocking back and forth, just saying, wobuji dao, wobuji dao, wobuji dao,
wobuji dao.

469
00:28:53,208 --> 00:28:54,982
Megpie, it's you.

470
00:28:54,982 --> 00:29:02,779
And you are uh outside of your temporary insanity, but Mul did just rock up to you and say
those words.

471
00:29:02,779 --> 00:29:04,081
Which is great.

472
00:29:05,079 --> 00:29:08,991
yeah, can I roll a San to see if maybe it extends it by one?

473
00:29:08,991 --> 00:29:11,063
Okay.

474
00:29:11,063 --> 00:29:26,023
Um, yeah, at 26, I think the, the, you know, I come out of it as I'm like, you know,
processing that like, like, of course he's, he's the one, right?

475
00:29:26,023 --> 00:29:34,178
He's just walked up and outed himself and the rest of these guys can't see it and I've got
to take care of it for them because, you know, um.

476
00:29:34,198 --> 00:29:40,220
And then just, I think, the cacophony of the mayhem kind of settles in.

477
00:29:40,220 --> 00:29:48,102
uh Everybody in here is a, you know, weeping and a mess in a way that I've never seen.

478
00:29:48,102 --> 00:29:54,544
You know, it looks like an insanity or something like that.

479
00:29:54,544 --> 00:30:01,606
And before I add any more chaos to the mixture, I'll take a deep breath and try to list
what worse and sadder.

480
00:30:01,737 --> 00:30:03,363
Okay, okay.

481
00:30:03,363 --> 00:30:05,099
I think you are able to do that.

482
00:30:05,099 --> 00:30:06,783
Do you let go of your gun?

483
00:30:06,860 --> 00:30:09,557
Yeah, think Mul thinks he gets credit for it.

484
00:30:09,557 --> 00:30:13,126
eh

485
00:30:14,519 --> 00:30:15,900
Sure, yeah.

486
00:30:16,024 --> 00:30:19,976
Here Mole say under his breath, forgive them dad, they know not what they do.

487
00:30:19,976 --> 00:30:26,862
And then he tries to, I don't even know if he tries to go for the gun, he just sees it
drop down and it's like, mm, basking in the glue.

488
00:30:26,862 --> 00:30:27,702
What you think?

489
00:30:27,922 --> 00:30:29,912
Are Magpie's cheeks wet?

490
00:30:29,912 --> 00:30:31,828
Like is he crying?

491
00:30:32,133 --> 00:30:34,008
No, I think he's been horrified.

492
00:30:34,008 --> 00:30:38,664
Yeah, this is terror, not like, yeah, sure, I love it.

493
00:30:38,665 --> 00:30:45,016
I think we are barring anybody else having plans uh outside of dexterity order.

494
00:30:45,016 --> 00:30:49,459
I guess Morrison probably looks at Magpie trying to discern like, he okay?

495
00:30:49,459 --> 00:30:49,969
Is he not?

496
00:30:49,969 --> 00:30:52,620
see the gun drop and I'm like, how you feeling about mole?

497
00:30:52,620 --> 00:30:54,522
Do we need to check him just to make sure?

498
00:30:54,522 --> 00:30:56,153
Cause I'm not entirely sure.

499
00:30:56,153 --> 00:30:57,874
There could be worms in people.

500
00:30:57,874 --> 00:31:05,688
And then I just like reach over with my knife and just like give mole a little nick on the
leg, like the ankle, as he's standing next to us.

501
00:31:05,688 --> 00:31:07,302
I'm not sure how to- okay.

502
00:31:07,302 --> 00:31:10,870
Will Mul let someone else cut him?

503
00:31:10,870 --> 00:31:17,154
Yeah, right now, Mole is, the way I'm picturing this megalomania is that Mole is above it
all.

504
00:31:17,154 --> 00:31:22,116
And so he's not necessarily worried about a small knife coming to cut him.

505
00:31:22,116 --> 00:31:24,358
I think he even watches you do it.

506
00:31:24,358 --> 00:31:27,739
And he's like, partake of my flesh, please.

507
00:31:27,739 --> 00:31:30,831
And lets the knife stick into his ankle.

508
00:31:30,831 --> 00:31:32,662
We see a little bit of blood come out.

509
00:31:32,662 --> 00:31:36,074
And he has no idea what that means, obviously, to you guys.

510
00:31:36,074 --> 00:31:40,236
But he's like, partake of my flesh, drink of my blood, whatever you need.

511
00:31:40,236 --> 00:31:41,773
Alright, he's good.

512
00:31:41,773 --> 00:31:42,527
ish.

513
00:31:42,574 --> 00:31:44,194
Ah, he doesn't sound very good.

514
00:31:44,194 --> 00:31:47,354
Well, y-you know, he's not a worm person.

515
00:31:47,354 --> 00:31:49,342
Um, what the fuck?

516
00:31:49,574 --> 00:31:51,383
Uuuum, what do we do next?

517
00:31:51,383 --> 00:31:54,426
I think I will kind of like, yeah, what the fuck is right?

518
00:31:54,426 --> 00:31:58,772
And I'll just like scatter the gun to the side and kind of press myself up against the
wall.

519
00:31:58,772 --> 00:32:07,702
em as, you know, like as a first responder, try and take stock of anybody in the midst
that is in worse repair than me.

520
00:32:08,526 --> 00:32:11,938
Roger Douglas is curled up on his side, bleeding.

521
00:32:11,938 --> 00:32:15,404
Yeah, my first thought was to first aid Roger.

522
00:32:15,404 --> 00:32:22,503
Yeah, and I'm not entirely sure that I fully process the responsibility in that.

523
00:32:23,245 --> 00:32:26,309
I think it's more like, you just gotta, oh, look, you're bleeding.

524
00:32:26,309 --> 00:32:27,288
You gotta take that off.

525
00:32:27,288 --> 00:32:28,083
Golly.

526
00:32:28,083 --> 00:32:28,767
Mm-hmm.

527
00:32:28,767 --> 00:32:29,398
For sure.

528
00:32:29,398 --> 00:32:29,839
sure.

529
00:32:29,839 --> 00:32:31,743
Magpie, hold on.

530
00:32:31,825 --> 00:32:35,628
He may not want you to first aid him being as you're the one who shot him.

531
00:32:35,628 --> 00:32:36,726
No, you gotta sit still.

532
00:32:36,726 --> 00:32:38,658
Stop squirming, it'll be over.

533
00:32:38,658 --> 00:32:40,618
I'll help, I'll help, I can do it.

534
00:32:40,618 --> 00:32:42,674
One of you roll first aid.

535
00:32:42,674 --> 00:32:47,736
Frankly, I'm gonna say at a minus 20 for being at odds with each other.

536
00:32:47,960 --> 00:32:52,142
That's still 42 on a modified 50, so it's good.

537
00:32:52,142 --> 00:32:55,389
I got a 42-2, we're the fucking wonder twins.

538
00:32:56,120 --> 00:33:04,724
In our fighting somehow our training kicks in and we still know like this is okay hold
here press this I'll hold the thing you do the rap

539
00:33:04,994 --> 00:33:06,496
Jimmy, me a D4.

540
00:33:06,496 --> 00:33:07,067
Very good.

541
00:33:07,067 --> 00:33:08,849
Uh, you both patch him up.

542
00:33:08,849 --> 00:33:12,110
He's not at any risk of bleeding to death.

543
00:33:12,110 --> 00:33:14,795
Can I also bandage my arm where I cut myself?

544
00:33:15,051 --> 00:33:15,633
you can.

545
00:33:15,633 --> 00:33:19,387
Yeah, you have to roll first aid for it, but that's- I fail.

546
00:33:19,387 --> 00:33:20,147
it's gonna be.

547
00:33:20,147 --> 00:33:20,789
What?

548
00:33:20,789 --> 00:33:21,614
For real?

549
00:33:21,614 --> 00:33:24,114
Yeah, 85 on a 70.

550
00:33:24,374 --> 00:33:26,974
I used all my bandages on Liam.

551
00:33:26,974 --> 00:33:27,534
Whatever.

552
00:33:27,534 --> 00:33:28,314
It's fine.

553
00:33:28,314 --> 00:33:28,934
I'll live.

554
00:33:28,934 --> 00:33:29,788
I've had work.

555
00:33:29,788 --> 00:33:34,998
You know how like the blood brothers things the bonds they always cut themselves stupidly
in the middle of their hand.

556
00:33:34,998 --> 00:33:35,637
Yeah

557
00:33:35,637 --> 00:33:42,286
yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, it's really hard to stitch and or bandage cuz it's on
your palm

558
00:33:42,286 --> 00:33:44,214
You're using your bad hand.

559
00:33:44,214 --> 00:33:47,335
You cannot perform first aid on that particular wound anymore.

560
00:33:47,335 --> 00:33:48,576
Thanks, rules.

561
00:33:48,576 --> 00:33:49,676
Terrific.

562
00:33:49,676 --> 00:33:52,317
So, the dust is settling.

563
00:33:52,317 --> 00:33:58,479
You think, probably, somebody somewhere is going to call the cops about this.

564
00:33:58,479 --> 00:34:00,620
Seems like a pretty good bet.

565
00:34:00,620 --> 00:34:04,261
I want a power check from every single one of you.

566
00:34:05,622 --> 00:34:07,502
Miles is back.

567
00:34:07,502 --> 00:34:11,191
Okay, he's still on his knees, but, you know.

568
00:34:11,191 --> 00:34:12,333
Fine with a 9.

569
00:34:12,333 --> 00:34:13,134
Very good.

570
00:34:13,134 --> 00:34:15,194
71 over 70.

571
00:34:15,194 --> 00:34:16,094
Oops.

572
00:34:16,237 --> 00:34:17,678
6 over 40.

573
00:34:17,678 --> 00:34:18,878
Oops.

574
00:34:20,498 --> 00:34:22,798
97 over 75.

575
00:34:22,928 --> 00:34:24,477
Okay uh

576
00:34:24,477 --> 00:34:26,648
probably shoot this on and then we're the ones like

577
00:34:26,648 --> 00:34:29,353
Yeah, we're about to get all fucked for a minute.

578
00:34:29,899 --> 00:34:37,025
all of this violence from the last couple of days is slipping away from you.

579
00:34:37,025 --> 00:34:41,008
Like water through a sieve, sand through your fingers.

580
00:34:41,008 --> 00:34:54,160
It's getting further and further away from you, even though it was seconds ago, even
though it was hours ago, even though it's a pivotal moment you're forgetting and you're

581
00:34:54,160 --> 00:34:55,520
forgetting again.

582
00:34:55,558 --> 00:34:56,441
Would you?

583
00:34:57,294 --> 00:35:02,038
And this is a decision that you may make strategically, if you like.

584
00:35:02,038 --> 00:35:12,026
Would you like to either take 1D4 of willpower loss or forget the investigation up to this
point?

585
00:35:12,598 --> 00:35:16,494
I have a proposition that may make things a little more complicated.

586
00:35:16,494 --> 00:35:22,333
Do we want to each do this individually so that we don't know what each other chose?

587
00:35:22,422 --> 00:35:23,904
I would love that.

588
00:35:23,904 --> 00:35:24,835
Goodbye, Mul.

589
00:35:24,835 --> 00:35:25,837
Goodbye, Miles.

590
00:35:25,837 --> 00:35:27,488
Take your headphones off.

591
00:35:27,870 --> 00:35:29,671
What a delight.

592
00:35:31,383 --> 00:35:37,422
I think Morrison is definitely gonna take the loss to remember what's happening, because
he's...

593
00:35:37,422 --> 00:35:38,316
it's his nature.

594
00:35:38,316 --> 00:35:39,547
This is what he's doing.

595
00:35:39,547 --> 00:35:41,369
This is he's really locked in.

596
00:35:41,369 --> 00:35:42,981
So give me that D4.

597
00:35:43,643 --> 00:35:43,983
Great.

598
00:35:43,983 --> 00:35:44,944
You lose two willpower.

599
00:35:44,944 --> 00:35:45,824
That's it.

600
00:35:46,006 --> 00:35:47,287
Mo, take your headphones off.

601
00:35:47,287 --> 00:35:48,889
Morrison, take your headphones off.

602
00:35:48,889 --> 00:35:49,751
Miles.

603
00:35:49,751 --> 00:35:50,101
Yeah.

604
00:35:50,101 --> 00:35:52,474
You can take a tactical look at this if you want.

605
00:35:52,474 --> 00:35:55,926
This is this doesn't have to just be a in-game decision.

606
00:35:55,926 --> 00:35:59,822
Sure, so you said I can sacrifice just straight power?

607
00:35:59,822 --> 00:36:05,010
You let- okay, let me double check that rule.

608
00:36:05,198 --> 00:36:08,418
So could I do that to cast the ritual?

609
00:36:08,418 --> 00:36:09,003
Yes.

610
00:36:09,003 --> 00:36:11,862
Yes, that is specifically what it's for.

611
00:36:11,862 --> 00:36:15,675
Okay, so I'll just do the willpower roll then, right now.

612
00:36:17,083 --> 00:36:18,352
That is one.

613
00:36:18,352 --> 00:36:20,453
Okay, you lose a point of willpower.

614
00:36:20,453 --> 00:36:21,334
Jesus.

615
00:36:21,334 --> 00:36:22,550
You're at 7.

616
00:36:23,115 --> 00:36:23,545
From...

617
00:36:23,545 --> 00:36:26,977
Jesus.

618
00:36:26,977 --> 00:36:29,218
Alright, let's get Mull in here.

619
00:36:29,250 --> 00:36:30,360
Yeah, Mola's gonna forget.

620
00:36:30,360 --> 00:36:31,551
Okay.

621
00:36:31,551 --> 00:36:41,414
I think if I think I was thinking about this the Megalomania kind of pushed me to maybe
doing you know what I mean holding on to stuff But I think that's too much mental faculty.

622
00:36:41,674 --> 00:36:47,056
Yeah, it's not that he's incapacitated It's just that like that's not what he's gonna do.

623
00:36:47,056 --> 00:36:47,866
You know what I mean?

624
00:36:47,866 --> 00:36:52,748
So yeah, I think he's just gonna start forgetting So what does that look like for me like?

625
00:36:52,748 --> 00:37:00,360
Yeah, so I'm just gonna read you this section from the scenario.

626
00:37:00,360 --> 00:37:03,361
uh Memory loss in this scenario.

627
00:37:03,361 --> 00:37:15,824
The agents have gone long enough since the initial violence in Dead Man's Switch, Paren, a
car crash, a stabbing, that they must make uh secret, secret, secret, secret stuff to

628
00:37:15,824 --> 00:37:21,926
avoid forgetting every event influenced by...

629
00:37:22,092 --> 00:37:24,024
This thing.

630
00:37:24,024 --> 00:37:26,426
Success costs one willpower.

631
00:37:26,426 --> 00:37:33,131
Failure means an agent chooses whether they forget the entire investigation or lose a D4
willpower.

632
00:37:33,131 --> 00:37:44,851
Agents who forget the investigation can still relearn it from notes or physical evidence,
but are encouraged to voice skepticism and come up with mundane explanations for the

633
00:37:44,851 --> 00:37:46,582
unnatural events.

634
00:37:46,582 --> 00:37:51,946
Believing the unnatural truth triggers the checks again.

635
00:37:52,024 --> 00:37:55,456
triggers the checks again, so I'd potentially be losing willpower again.

636
00:37:56,617 --> 00:38:06,242
And then I think I'm going to also be wrapping this in maybe a supernatural element, but
it's the supernatural element of mole's delusional parasitosis megalomania thing, if that

637
00:38:06,242 --> 00:38:06,868
makes sense.

638
00:38:06,868 --> 00:38:08,019
Yeah.

639
00:38:08,019 --> 00:38:08,959
So, let's see.

640
00:38:08,959 --> 00:38:18,050
I think that delusional parasitosis is probably going to fade back quite a bit until you
remember what's going on, right?

641
00:38:18,050 --> 00:38:19,211
Yeah, that sounds good.

642
00:38:19,211 --> 00:38:27,548
I like the idea that he thinks he's chosen for something, but maybe has like, that's even
kind of lost of what that is, because I was thinking again, like I said, this is his like,

643
00:38:27,548 --> 00:38:32,822
cross to bear, and now he's lost the cross, so he's just like, really, really out there.

644
00:38:32,822 --> 00:38:38,905
Yeah, I want you, if you can, yeah, yeah, Mull's a megalomaniac.

645
00:38:38,905 --> 00:38:41,306
Mull is the most important.

646
00:38:41,306 --> 00:38:45,028
Mull cannot be seen to be weak.

647
00:38:45,028 --> 00:38:50,480
I want you to try and hide that you've forgotten everything.

648
00:38:50,480 --> 00:38:58,894
Like, have you ever seen one of those people at work who don't know something and they are
cl- like, yeah, they're pretending.

649
00:38:58,894 --> 00:38:59,490
Yep.

650
00:38:59,490 --> 00:39:01,163
Yeah, think I like that idea.

651
00:39:01,163 --> 00:39:07,345
I think that he's not gonna call them out on things like that necessarily, or if he does,
he does it in like a weird religious way.

652
00:39:07,345 --> 00:39:10,136
So it's like he's just gonna pretend like he's coasting along.

653
00:39:10,136 --> 00:39:13,803
Yeah, pipe up if uh something like really fucks you up.

654
00:39:13,803 --> 00:39:14,736
What is, what's up?

655
00:39:14,736 --> 00:39:15,640
You okay?

656
00:39:15,640 --> 00:39:17,102
Yeah, just thinking.

657
00:39:17,102 --> 00:39:18,481
I was like, how do I do this?

658
00:39:18,481 --> 00:39:18,808
Okay.

659
00:39:18,808 --> 00:39:19,918
This is hard.

660
00:39:19,999 --> 00:39:20,729
is tricky.

661
00:39:20,729 --> 00:39:24,401
This is a tough part of the scenario.

662
00:39:24,601 --> 00:39:25,342
Alright.

663
00:39:25,342 --> 00:39:29,104
I have not actually ever had anyone select.

664
00:39:29,104 --> 00:39:31,885
Forget the entire investigation.

665
00:39:31,885 --> 00:39:34,487
So that's exciting.

666
00:39:34,487 --> 00:39:39,910
Especially someone who will only pretend that they are still aware of what is going on.

667
00:39:39,910 --> 00:39:40,710
Yeah.

668
00:39:40,710 --> 00:39:41,271
Terrific.

669
00:39:41,271 --> 00:39:44,693
I wonder how different that is from actually just doing the stuff.

670
00:39:44,693 --> 00:39:46,153
Yeah.

671
00:39:46,153 --> 00:39:46,914
Alright.

672
00:39:46,914 --> 00:39:47,670
Great.

673
00:39:47,670 --> 00:39:50,693
Alright, are- how we all- how we all doing?

674
00:39:50,693 --> 00:39:51,444
Broadly.

675
00:39:51,444 --> 00:40:02,805
What- what were the- what's the aftermath of the last, what, 15 seconds on Magpie,
Morrison, Mull and Miles?

676
00:40:02,805 --> 00:40:04,465
How are you each holding up?

677
00:40:05,198 --> 00:40:15,618
I think out of everybody, Mul's probably holding up the best because he had a psychotic
break and then kind of came to and everything is gone.

678
00:40:15,618 --> 00:40:16,460
Okay

679
00:40:18,562 --> 00:40:20,338
Honestly, kind of invincible.

680
00:40:20,338 --> 00:40:22,380
Yeah, truly feeling invincible.

681
00:40:22,380 --> 00:40:31,171
I think he's just kind of staring around at you guys like with his arms out like he's in
this nice suit he is again that I said he looked like Will Arnett and he's just like what

682
00:40:31,171 --> 00:40:34,754
what what are we all what what's going on Mike?

683
00:40:34,754 --> 00:40:41,259
Yeah, I mean, it was kind of like the literal interpretation of spray and pray, right?

684
00:40:41,259 --> 00:40:47,964
um Broken up a little bit, but it's just a bit of madness.

685
00:40:48,024 --> 00:41:00,934
I think I'm heartened by the fact that maybe once I'm done tending to Roger Douglas's
wound, that maybe Miles is looking a bit more like himself and that each time I glance

686
00:41:00,934 --> 00:41:01,334
back...

687
00:41:01,334 --> 00:41:06,444
I suppose it seems like maybe everybody is moving a little bit more like themselves.

688
00:41:06,444 --> 00:41:15,440
Yeah, I think I am kind of in my usual, like, obviously, like, this sucks and everything's
like gone to shit, so I'm stressed.

689
00:41:15,440 --> 00:41:20,823
But I'm also kind of supposed to be the one in charge and I do, you know, have military
experience.

690
00:41:20,823 --> 00:41:26,102
This isn't the first time I've been shot at, although never quite in circumstances like
this.

691
00:41:26,102 --> 00:41:28,971
Does Morrison feel in control?

692
00:41:28,982 --> 00:41:34,926
I think Morrison's a guy who knows that people who feel like they're in control are
probably lying to themselves.

693
00:41:34,926 --> 00:41:38,708
And so he's just trying to find an action to move towards.

694
00:41:38,749 --> 00:41:48,636
And so as we're like patching up Roger, I think he registers the idea that like lots of
shots fired, we're in a neighborhood, police are going to come soon.

695
00:41:48,636 --> 00:41:51,958
Roger, what's the most important thing we need to take with us here?

696
00:41:51,958 --> 00:41:53,579
What can they not find?

697
00:41:53,579 --> 00:41:57,676
We've got maybe like five minutes to like take care of stuff.

698
00:41:57,676 --> 00:41:58,300
What do need?

699
00:41:58,300 --> 00:41:59,758
What do we need to destroy?

700
00:41:59,758 --> 00:42:02,498
We don't have to destroy anything.

701
00:42:02,698 --> 00:42:03,498
If...

702
00:42:03,498 --> 00:42:06,078
Jesus Christ.

703
00:42:06,078 --> 00:42:20,398
If we let it all go, if it escapes into the public consciousness, I think, then if
everyone can remember this thing, maybe it'll kill it.

704
00:42:20,398 --> 00:42:24,978
That's why I set up that Deadman switch with my therapist.

705
00:42:24,978 --> 00:42:28,738
If this gets out, I think that'll do it.

706
00:42:28,738 --> 00:42:30,722
So we don't have to destroy anything.

707
00:42:30,722 --> 00:42:34,547
I kinda look around at the group to get a consensus on.

708
00:42:35,089 --> 00:42:39,232
I'm not great at humant, but I don't necessarily trust him.

709
00:42:39,232 --> 00:42:41,606
I'll use his old name since I...

710
00:42:41,606 --> 00:42:43,830
I'll do it.

711
00:42:43,830 --> 00:42:46,955
Liam, what do you mean this?

712
00:42:46,955 --> 00:42:49,077
Like, all of this?

713
00:42:49,196 --> 00:42:51,887
Yeah, the- my research.

714
00:42:51,958 --> 00:42:57,504
Liam, your research is great and everything, but we can't let any of this get out.

715
00:42:57,504 --> 00:42:59,045
That's not the game.

716
00:42:59,226 --> 00:43:10,018
What we can do is try to find a way to destroy it, or whatever you were looking for, with
this vampire squid and the phos gene stuff.

717
00:43:10,018 --> 00:43:14,206
uh letting this out is not the place to go with this.

718
00:43:14,206 --> 00:43:19,150
Do you understand the consequences if you just happen to be mistaken on his hunch?

719
00:43:19,150 --> 00:43:26,670
I'm pretty sure that's it, but, here, you know, why don't one of you call 911?

720
00:43:26,810 --> 00:43:29,790
Tell them you heard gunshots four blocks over.

721
00:43:30,590 --> 00:43:33,530
Then we don't have to, don't have to destroy anything.

722
00:43:33,530 --> 00:43:36,250
We can just keep talking, keep calm.

723
00:43:36,250 --> 00:43:37,454
It'll be fine.

724
00:43:37,454 --> 00:43:40,036
I might buy us some time, I don't think that's gonna...

725
00:43:41,318 --> 00:43:44,034
How many shots was that, like 20?

726
00:43:44,041 --> 00:43:48,770
I don't know, it's like just spraying a room with gunfire, they're gonna be like, wrong
house.

727
00:43:48,770 --> 00:43:50,570
helmet might have been fireworks.

728
00:43:50,606 --> 00:43:53,010
We think we could buy ourselves a few extra minutes.

729
00:43:53,010 --> 00:43:59,160
eh I think that sounds like reasonable idea, but it doesn't patch up all our holes here.

730
00:43:59,160 --> 00:44:00,960
Think Mole pulls out his cellphone.

731
00:44:00,960 --> 00:44:02,478
Calls 911.

732
00:44:02,767 --> 00:44:03,449
Y'all?

733
00:44:03,449 --> 00:44:04,151
Okay.

734
00:44:04,151 --> 00:44:04,973
Who's?

735
00:44:04,973 --> 00:44:05,655
Fine.

736
00:44:05,655 --> 00:44:06,397
Very good.

737
00:44:06,397 --> 00:44:07,136
Great.

738
00:44:07,136 --> 00:44:10,349
And you hear him say, uh, yeah, it's the son.

739
00:44:10,349 --> 00:44:12,651
um there's been gunfire.

740
00:44:12,651 --> 00:44:22,009
And then he kind of looks around trying to figure out where they were, um, hoping somebody
will whisper an address to him, which I assume somebody whispers something, uh, and he

741
00:44:22,009 --> 00:44:23,040
gives it to the cops.

742
00:44:23,040 --> 00:44:32,468
Um, and is like, ah, I'll let you know that we heard gunfire and fireworks, both going off
in that house.

743
00:44:32,468 --> 00:44:34,818
And he, you know, gives him the address.

744
00:44:34,818 --> 00:44:39,931
Yeah, yeah, yeah, I was gonna call for a persuasion check from whoever is calling the
cops.

745
00:44:42,156 --> 00:44:43,494
That's the SON.

746
00:44:44,394 --> 00:44:46,496
It's me, the sun.

747
00:44:47,194 --> 00:44:50,988
I heard gunfire and fireworks four blocks away.

748
00:44:50,988 --> 00:44:52,299
You could still call for that.

749
00:44:52,299 --> 00:44:57,966
uh And then I would tell you that every use of a stat to make a good impression fails.

750
00:44:57,966 --> 00:45:03,192
Okay, that is different from Persuade, I remembered that differently.

751
00:45:03,192 --> 00:45:07,396
You're making a terrible impression, but you can still be persuasive.

752
00:45:07,396 --> 00:45:09,378
I will let you roll this.

753
00:45:09,486 --> 00:45:10,729
Cool, love that.

754
00:45:10,729 --> 00:45:16,383
I think if I pass, what that is is that they don't focus on the weird thing I started out
with.

755
00:45:16,383 --> 00:45:19,407
Does that make sense that they're like, okay, this is like a...

756
00:45:19,407 --> 00:45:22,706
I think they're gonna be looking for you at the scene.

757
00:45:23,374 --> 00:45:25,144
Looking for the sun

758
00:45:25,486 --> 00:45:30,552
Yeah, some weirdo called in his own shooting.

759
00:45:30,552 --> 00:45:36,378
is a need mental health services on scene and also the police.

760
00:45:36,378 --> 00:45:36,654
Yeah

761
00:45:36,654 --> 00:45:39,758
I didn't get a description of him, he just said we shall know him by his works.

762
00:45:39,758 --> 00:45:40,682
I don't know.

763
00:45:40,682 --> 00:45:41,425
Shit.

764
00:45:41,425 --> 00:45:42,148
Okay.

765
00:45:42,148 --> 00:45:44,577
So that's about you a couple of minutes.

766
00:45:44,577 --> 00:45:45,601
What are you asking?

767
00:45:45,601 --> 00:45:46,322
Yeah.

768
00:45:46,462 --> 00:45:49,569
I'm just gonna try to ignore mole.

769
00:45:51,182 --> 00:45:52,824
Liam, what were you on to?

770
00:45:52,824 --> 00:46:00,231
You wrote down somebody's phone number, I think his name is Teddy, and you were looking at
Vampire Squid.

771
00:46:00,231 --> 00:46:03,074
Like, how can we stop this?

772
00:46:03,118 --> 00:46:09,768
Uh, and he's, you can see that he is looking at the Post-It notes on the wall.

773
00:46:09,768 --> 00:46:13,550
You can give me a human on this if you want, but.

774
00:46:13,550 --> 00:46:14,730
He forgot.

775
00:46:14,870 --> 00:46:15,790
Here, I can do it.

776
00:46:15,790 --> 00:46:18,540
It's 14, but 36, over.

777
00:46:18,540 --> 00:46:21,122
And everyone can give me a human if they want.

778
00:46:21,122 --> 00:46:23,310
fail 14 over 10

779
00:46:23,310 --> 00:46:24,730
40 on a uh 60.

780
00:46:24,730 --> 00:46:25,742
Pass.

781
00:46:25,742 --> 00:46:27,432
A 54 on a 40 fail.

782
00:46:27,432 --> 00:46:40,266
Okay, Mull is the one that recognizes that Liam is reading his own notes to try and remind
himself of what he has discovered.

783
00:46:40,440 --> 00:46:53,133
think Mole walks over, grabs the notes, and is like, Miles, whatever you need, the blind
lead the blind, both shall fall in the ditch, and he hands you the notes without really

784
00:46:53,133 --> 00:46:54,344
taking a look at them.

785
00:46:54,469 --> 00:46:56,460
So you think you forgot more?

786
00:46:56,460 --> 00:47:01,342
No, no, no, no, I just needed to, you know, remind myself.

787
00:47:01,342 --> 00:47:02,867
I needed to refresh my memory.

788
00:47:02,867 --> 00:47:06,260
It's fine, it's fine, it's fine, it's fine.

789
00:47:08,376 --> 00:47:10,999
Liam, what did you refresh yourself on?

790
00:47:10,999 --> 00:47:13,440
Please enlighten us, we don't have a lot of time.

791
00:47:13,440 --> 00:47:14,870
I believe those.

792
00:47:14,870 --> 00:47:19,232
Do you remember the thing that came through the hole in the air?

793
00:47:19,232 --> 00:47:20,133
Yes.

794
00:47:20,133 --> 00:47:21,673
You don't, Miles.

795
00:47:23,214 --> 00:47:26,015
Miles is, do you remember this?

796
00:47:26,015 --> 00:47:30,116
Nick, you are the only one who did not see this.

797
00:47:30,116 --> 00:47:32,377
You never, you weren't there?

798
00:47:32,377 --> 00:47:33,357
didn't look at it?

799
00:47:33,357 --> 00:47:34,904
You didn't watch the video?

800
00:47:34,904 --> 00:47:35,456
Yep.

801
00:47:35,456 --> 00:47:35,937
Okay.

802
00:47:35,937 --> 00:47:39,107
No, I, I don't know what you're talking about.

803
00:47:39,107 --> 00:47:42,116
I just remember burning a kid that wouldn't burn.

804
00:47:42,116 --> 00:47:43,310
That's all I got.

805
00:47:43,310 --> 00:47:53,330
The first, like, hair-thin filaments we saw, those are like the retractile velar
filaments.

806
00:47:53,330 --> 00:48:04,370
They're sense organs, I think, similar to those long as two yes, vampire squids and other
deep sea creatures in the hadal zone.

807
00:48:04,370 --> 00:48:12,370
And I don't know about you, but those long arms, those reminded me of something.

808
00:48:12,370 --> 00:48:13,122
Let me...

809
00:48:13,122 --> 00:48:14,423
Let me show you something.

810
00:48:14,423 --> 00:48:19,105
And he goes and grabs that laptop.

811
00:48:19,105 --> 00:48:27,680
He flips the ah switch on the side to off, powers it up, and navigates to a file.

812
00:48:28,152 --> 00:48:29,463
looks like.

813
00:48:30,366 --> 00:48:35,334
I guess I would describe this as probably some form of deep sea footage or something.

814
00:48:35,334 --> 00:48:37,664
There is...

815
00:48:37,664 --> 00:48:44,780
It's green with like a light in the back and we can kind of see floating particles through
what I'm presuming is water or something.

816
00:48:44,780 --> 00:48:48,884
And then in the middle is a flowing squid-like thing.

817
00:48:48,884 --> 00:48:58,281
It has a head almost like the predator's head, that like big wide um brim and it's
floating around in the, you can kind of see it floating through the atmosphere that it's

818
00:48:58,281 --> 00:48:58,421
in.

819
00:48:58,421 --> 00:49:03,936
Then a little body and then long, like almost appendages that drop downward.

820
00:49:03,936 --> 00:49:06,274
And it's just like sitting there kind of floating.

821
00:49:06,274 --> 00:49:11,352
There's honestly little reason to even believe it is a real living creature.

822
00:49:11,352 --> 00:49:14,604
That's Magnapena Pacifica.

823
00:49:14,604 --> 00:49:16,816
That's uh the big fin squid.

824
00:49:16,816 --> 00:49:20,898
And these two creatures, they're, they're, they're ammoniated.

825
00:49:20,898 --> 00:49:25,612
That's how they tolerate the low oxygen environments, the heavy pressures.

826
00:49:25,612 --> 00:49:41,294
And I think that um phosgene gas will bind to the ammonia and disrupt the, the, the, the,
the ability to process from there.

827
00:49:41,294 --> 00:49:43,079
Can I rule my biochemistry?

828
00:49:43,079 --> 00:49:45,034
Just to check that.

829
00:49:45,034 --> 00:49:46,582
45 under 50.

830
00:49:46,582 --> 00:49:51,668
Yeah, um, phosgene is a deadly, deadly gas.

831
00:49:51,668 --> 00:50:02,860
uh It's harmful to most things, but it does interact with ammonia, in that way it binds to
it in a way that will make it difficult to flush from the system, for sure.

832
00:50:02,860 --> 00:50:07,320
So, what do we do with this, Liam?

833
00:50:07,320 --> 00:50:09,665
You have a note here with a phone number on it.

834
00:50:09,665 --> 00:50:12,191
Does this guy have a squid?

835
00:50:12,191 --> 00:50:13,974
Like, what is this?

836
00:50:14,372 --> 00:50:16,503
that's that's Teddy.

837
00:50:16,503 --> 00:50:16,933
Great.

838
00:50:16,933 --> 00:50:23,126
He, Teddy is a he's a what do an asset.

839
00:50:23,126 --> 00:50:24,726
Teddy's an asset.

840
00:50:24,876 --> 00:50:29,368
he's one of the, one of those um, you know, three percenter militia guys.

841
00:50:29,368 --> 00:50:32,850
He you know, like uh, he's a, he's a nut job.

842
00:50:32,850 --> 00:50:35,571
But um, he used to be a chemical engineer.

843
00:50:35,581 --> 00:50:43,054
he thinks that our, our group has contacted him as a, another like-minded

844
00:50:43,758 --> 00:50:51,931
um militia movement, so he's on standby to manufacture uh chemical weapons for the group.

845
00:50:51,931 --> 00:50:56,588
ah might have some.

846
00:50:56,968 --> 00:51:06,672
I look over at Magpie, the whitest guy in the room, and say, okay, Liam, can you help
Magpie get in touch with him so we can get some of this?

847
00:51:06,672 --> 00:51:10,814
I'm assuming that's what you're saying, is he has some of the gas.

848
00:51:11,715 --> 00:51:19,544
Okay, okay, Magpie, I'm assuming this guy has got some white national, has bent to him, so
I'm not gonna talk to him, but.

849
00:51:19,544 --> 00:51:20,115
Sure.

850
00:51:20,115 --> 00:51:20,775
Yeah.

851
00:51:20,775 --> 00:51:31,986
So, are you guys, you're looking at, it sounds like, the post-it notes to gather avenues
to discuss here in the time you have.

852
00:51:31,986 --> 00:51:36,370
Do you want to tell me what you've decoded from those post-its?

853
00:51:36,834 --> 00:51:43,017
So my, what I'm thinking from the post-its is something to do with this gas.

854
00:51:43,017 --> 00:51:54,202
And Miles is also wondering about like, okay, so let's operationalize this gas in some way
with this guy.

855
00:51:54,202 --> 00:51:58,403
And then how do we get another wormhole?

856
00:51:58,904 --> 00:52:03,525
And then if we can get another wormhole, how do we put the gas in it?

857
00:52:03,525 --> 00:52:05,106
That's what Miles is thinking.

858
00:52:05,106 --> 00:52:11,270
And in his head, he's seeing the San Juan note that especially like, don't forget San
Juan.

859
00:52:11,270 --> 00:52:13,292
Like, is that the center of everything?

860
00:52:13,292 --> 00:52:13,752
Right?

861
00:52:13,752 --> 00:52:16,794
um Is that where we need to be?

862
00:52:17,154 --> 00:52:26,421
But also in the back of his head, he's like, we just had somebody knife somebody at a gas
station and an old person get hit by a truck.

863
00:52:26,421 --> 00:52:30,123
What other violence is happening around that we don't know about?

864
00:52:30,123 --> 00:52:34,252
Like how, like how does the violence happening outside of

865
00:52:34,252 --> 00:52:38,865
the violence we're creating intersect with any of this because I have no clue.

866
00:52:39,686 --> 00:52:40,967
And I will just say that out loud.

867
00:52:40,967 --> 00:52:42,128
I'm talking to myself.

868
00:52:42,128 --> 00:52:44,789
I'm kind of, and again, flat affect, sorry.

869
00:52:44,789 --> 00:52:51,914
uh And I am just saying, guys, and I'm going through all the notes and I just say all like
that verbally to you.

870
00:52:51,958 --> 00:53:01,638
One, one thing that happens is he presses into your hands that sheaf of uh news articles
again.

871
00:53:01,638 --> 00:53:03,951
It's like, look, this is, this is the violence.

872
00:53:03,951 --> 00:53:07,174
This is what's been happening ever since, alright?

873
00:53:07,174 --> 00:53:08,375
Here it is.

874
00:53:08,376 --> 00:53:09,927
If you want it, here it is.

875
00:53:09,927 --> 00:53:10,448
This is it.

876
00:53:10,448 --> 00:53:11,138
This is it.

877
00:53:11,138 --> 00:53:15,062
If, this is the, this, this is, this is where she's been.

878
00:53:15,062 --> 00:53:16,603
I'll start flipping through them.

879
00:53:16,603 --> 00:53:22,387
It says, man, two women shot dead outside a waterfront nightclub in 2021.

880
00:53:22,387 --> 00:53:24,748
It has an address.

881
00:53:25,028 --> 00:53:28,520
Suspect killed in fatal interbay shooting, killed.

882
00:53:29,300 --> 00:53:30,301
These are headlines.

883
00:53:30,301 --> 00:53:32,782
oh this is what you get.

884
00:53:32,782 --> 00:53:37,606
ah Man charged in Queen Anne shooting, suspected accomplice still at large.

885
00:53:37,606 --> 00:53:40,809

886
00:53:40,809 --> 00:53:41,830
Suspect killed.

SPD looking for police cruiser in Beacon Hill shooting.

891
00:53:58,384 --> 00:53:58,945
Jesus.

892
00:53:58,945 --> 00:54:00,748
um

893
00:54:00,748 --> 00:54:06,530
Yereli Ashton and six others killed in suspected terrorist attack during concert.

894
00:54:06,530 --> 00:54:08,954
We would have heard about these guys.

895
00:54:09,817 --> 00:54:10,469
Okay.

896
00:54:10,469 --> 00:54:12,031
Now that you've read that, that...

897
00:54:12,031 --> 00:54:12,651
yeah.

898
00:54:12,651 --> 00:54:19,380
You remember Yarlai, this was a big thing when it happened, but like it got sort of like
thoughts and prayers, you know?

899
00:54:19,380 --> 00:54:20,041
Like...

900
00:54:20,041 --> 00:54:20,921
Yeah.

901
00:54:21,502 --> 00:54:23,605
She got killed on stage.

902
00:54:23,605 --> 00:54:24,906
You remember that.

903
00:54:25,804 --> 00:54:26,947
Yeah, I'll even say that.

904
00:54:26,947 --> 00:54:30,316
be like, do you remember this singer?

905
00:54:30,316 --> 00:54:35,436
Who was killed on stage in a terrorist attack?

906
00:54:35,436 --> 00:54:41,410
Hmm, not really my style of music, but yeah, I mean I remember seeing that in the papers.

907
00:54:41,410 --> 00:54:42,986
Yeah, yeah, that's...

908
00:54:42,986 --> 00:54:43,928
yeah.

909
00:54:43,950 --> 00:54:49,298
Okay, three presumed dead, one rescued as boat sinks in Elliott Bay.

910
00:54:50,842 --> 00:54:57,232
This gun violence is rampant, four dead, two critically injured in Magnolia shooting.

911
00:54:57,232 --> 00:54:58,964
That's all of them.

912
00:54:58,976 --> 00:55:00,267
Uh, guys.

913
00:55:00,808 --> 00:55:07,203
Sure, I remember them as I'm reading these, and I can kind of recall some of this, but
there's no way.

914
00:55:07,203 --> 00:55:08,663
Like, there's...

915
00:55:08,663 --> 00:55:09,445
Like, the...

916
00:55:09,445 --> 00:55:12,867
Especially the stage, when she was killed on stage.

917
00:55:12,867 --> 00:55:14,839
Like, how is that not just ever-present?

918
00:55:14,839 --> 00:55:15,770
That was...

919
00:55:15,770 --> 00:55:16,840
This year.

920
00:55:16,910 --> 00:55:28,284
I mean, if whatever this memory thing is can do what it- I mean, we forgot like an entire
day, like, people's heads getting imploded, killing people, boat burning up with Wiggly

921
00:55:28,284 --> 00:55:36,690
Worm Kid inside, like, if this can make us forget that, I I guess this would suggest that
at the very least with the concert thing, the area of effect is not small.

922
00:55:36,690 --> 00:55:37,574
Okay.

923
00:55:37,614 --> 00:55:39,842
ah I'd like a sand check from Moe.

924
00:55:39,842 --> 00:55:42,620
Hell yeah, 23 on a 30, no problem.

925
00:55:42,620 --> 00:55:43,874
Stand him strong.

926
00:55:43,874 --> 00:55:45,196
Yeah, love that.

927
00:55:45,196 --> 00:55:46,137
Thanks.

928
00:55:46,854 --> 00:55:48,340
So, I- Go ahead.

929
00:55:48,341 --> 00:55:49,242
Sorry.

930
00:55:49,284 --> 00:55:52,653
Is there any geographic pattern to these or is it just all...

931
00:55:52,672 --> 00:55:56,967
All in Seattle around Interbay and just the Seattle area.

932
00:55:56,967 --> 00:55:58,969
So it's not in San Juan.

933
00:55:59,212 --> 00:56:00,583
If you want, you can

934
00:56:01,239 --> 00:56:04,047
feel free to put these into Google Maps.

935
00:56:05,535 --> 00:56:06,786
Yeah, IRL.

936
00:56:06,786 --> 00:56:07,522
I mean, I-

937
00:56:07,522 --> 00:56:11,283
I know where most of these places are, so I'm good, but yeah.

938
00:56:11,426 --> 00:56:13,826
Feel free to put these into Google Maps.

939
00:56:13,826 --> 00:56:17,827
Do they form any sort of pattern, I guess?

940
00:56:17,827 --> 00:56:31,953
think Moll is probably checking his watch at first, looks down, and then kind of looks
back up, sees a bunch of addresses, says, ah could it, uh maybe you look at a map, is

941
00:56:31,953 --> 00:56:33,203
there a pattern here to any of this?

942
00:56:33,203 --> 00:56:35,854
There's always patterns to these things, you know what I mean?

943
00:56:36,608 --> 00:56:43,117
Are you guys spending the ten minutes that it's gonna take to punch these in on a map?

944
00:56:43,117 --> 00:56:44,780
Or are you gonna table that?

945
00:56:44,878 --> 00:56:45,110
We not.

946
00:56:45,110 --> 00:56:45,548
Yeah.

947
00:56:45,548 --> 00:56:46,950
Best lead, God.

948
00:56:47,608 --> 00:56:48,325
Probably not.

949
00:56:48,325 --> 00:56:48,858
Probably not.

950
00:56:48,858 --> 00:56:49,590
mean- Tabling it.

951
00:56:49,590 --> 00:56:56,238
I would probably like, cause we got like maybe 10 minutes to get out of here, like we
don't have to do this right here, do we?

952
00:56:56,238 --> 00:57:00,078
We can take this with us and do it like, you know, down the street.

953
00:57:00,078 --> 00:57:01,359
That's true.

954
00:57:01,359 --> 00:57:05,853
Roger is openly reading his Post-It notes on the wall.

955
00:57:05,853 --> 00:57:08,885
He's checking them while you guys are discussing this.

956
00:57:08,885 --> 00:57:16,712
And he gets to uh CHCKTHCLNDR.

957
00:57:16,712 --> 00:57:19,934
And you can see him trying to decode it in his head.

958
00:57:19,934 --> 00:57:23,678
uh Check the calendar.

959
00:57:23,678 --> 00:57:24,320
Yeah.

960
00:57:24,320 --> 00:57:26,291
Calendar or cylinder?

961
00:57:26,316 --> 00:57:27,138
No, the calendar.

962
00:57:27,138 --> 00:57:30,575
I- I gotta- And he dashes to the kitchen.

963
00:57:30,575 --> 00:57:36,309
Um, where he, uh, is looking at a wall calendar.

964
00:57:36,309 --> 00:57:37,470
What day is it?

965
00:57:37,473 --> 00:57:39,362
30th of December.

966
00:57:39,362 --> 00:57:41,623
Jesus Christ, okay.

967
00:57:41,623 --> 00:57:43,023
Alright, okay.

968
00:57:43,023 --> 00:57:44,703
Hey, hey, hey.

969
00:57:44,703 --> 00:57:45,884
Oh, hey!

970
00:57:45,884 --> 00:57:48,104
I- I have something that'll help you.

971
00:57:48,104 --> 00:57:49,605
I have a way to not forget.

972
00:57:49,605 --> 00:57:52,546
That's why I remember everything and nobody else does.

973
00:57:52,546 --> 00:58:02,568
I have a- and he- he comes back in and he lifts his shirt up and he has scars covering his
body.

974
00:58:02,568 --> 00:58:07,030
Um, do we remember or should I post it again?

975
00:58:07,030 --> 00:58:08,950
That image?

976
00:58:09,100 --> 00:58:10,551
I'll post it again.

977
00:58:10,551 --> 00:58:15,605
Of a, um, rather complex pattern.

978
00:58:15,605 --> 00:58:19,118
Uh, lemme, lemme drop those.

979
00:58:19,118 --> 00:58:21,660
Found here, and here.

980
00:58:21,660 --> 00:58:38,170
So this is palm-sized, a rectangle of raised scars with a large number of arcane symbols,
weird, like, phonetic writing, ablanathanalba.

981
00:58:38,170 --> 00:58:39,160
Uh.

982
00:58:39,160 --> 00:58:48,977
has been carved into his belly, into his chest, on his pecs, on his arms.

983
00:58:48,977 --> 00:58:57,212
He's carved this multiple times, all over his body, where he can find space and reach.

984
00:58:57,441 --> 00:58:59,202
That's great Liam.

985
00:59:00,122 --> 00:59:01,222
We don't have time.

986
00:59:01,222 --> 00:59:02,444
Go ahead go ahead Liam.

987
00:59:02,444 --> 00:59:05,239
I-I-I need- it only works for a month.

988
00:59:05,239 --> 00:59:08,405
So I need to refresh this tonight, or I'm gonna forget.

989
00:59:08,405 --> 00:59:13,698
But while- while- while I'm doing this, I could- I could do this for you, too, and you
could remember.

990
00:59:13,698 --> 00:59:14,859
You could.

991
00:59:14,860 --> 00:59:16,842
We'll keep it under consideration.

992
00:59:16,842 --> 00:59:22,860
Is there anything else we need to take with us from here before the police show up and nab
us?

993
00:59:24,961 --> 00:59:31,671
I was gonna, I- I- I- We lost that kid, Mm-hmm.

994
00:59:32,513 --> 00:59:36,266
But we think maybe fire hurt him, right?

995
00:59:36,266 --> 00:59:37,930
He didn't seem to like it.

996
00:59:37,930 --> 00:59:48,337
I was gonna take this, this, this, this, this sign, this sigil, and, cast it in iron, uh,
to make a brand.

997
00:59:48,337 --> 01:00:00,516
And I think, I think, I think we could, we could, we could, could, we could brand, we
could brand him with the memory, and then he would forget himself, and maybe Hydra would

998
01:00:00,516 --> 01:00:01,556
go with him?

999
01:00:01,614 --> 01:00:02,361
Navy.

1000
01:00:02,456 --> 01:00:05,389
Yeah, it's worth a shot, Liam, it's worth a shot.

1001
01:00:05,389 --> 01:00:10,854
uh Yeah, and if it comes to that, we can just use that brand on ourselves.

1002
01:00:10,882 --> 01:00:11,689
I don't...

1003
01:00:11,689 --> 01:00:12,173
Maybe?

1004
01:00:12,173 --> 01:00:13,922
Yeah, that might work.

1005
01:00:13,922 --> 01:00:16,044
We need to know where to go next, Liam.

1006
01:00:16,044 --> 01:00:16,955
I want you to focus.

1007
01:00:16,955 --> 01:00:24,593
Okay, we need to get this uh phosgene from Teddy, okay?

1008
01:00:24,593 --> 01:00:34,592
And then we need to figure out how do we find that kid or how do we get this thing back in
our world to try to use the phosgene.

1009
01:00:34,897 --> 01:00:37,253
I mean, we have to...

1010
01:00:37,253 --> 01:00:38,486
It's not ready.

1011
01:00:38,486 --> 01:00:41,250
Okay, so let's get it ready.

1012
01:00:41,250 --> 01:00:46,783
I'll stay here and I'll work on a cast.

1013
01:00:47,406 --> 01:00:48,850
I also need to do...

1014
01:00:48,850 --> 01:00:50,988
I need to put the sign on myself.

1015
01:00:50,988 --> 01:00:52,981
Liam, you're gonna come with us, okay?

1016
01:00:52,981 --> 01:00:57,225
And we can find somebody to do the cast, right?

1017
01:00:58,307 --> 01:01:01,191
Are you a metallurgist?

1018
01:01:01,191 --> 01:01:04,214
Like, what are you expecting to do here?

1019
01:01:04,216 --> 01:01:05,228
was gonna...

1020
01:01:05,228 --> 01:01:06,469
I was gonna...

1021
01:01:06,991 --> 01:01:11,960
I've got in the back, I've got a foundry, a small crucible.

1022
01:01:11,960 --> 01:01:13,112
um

1023
01:01:13,112 --> 01:01:14,826
How long is this gonna take, Liam?

1024
01:01:14,826 --> 01:01:18,370
I shouldn't take too long, day or two?

1025
01:01:18,370 --> 01:01:20,912
You understand the police are coming, right?

1026
01:01:22,153 --> 01:01:24,215
We don't know how much time that bought us, Liam.

1027
01:01:24,215 --> 01:01:32,242
I'm gonna look over at Morrison and just shake my, like give him a slight, like, we might
have to let him go.

1028
01:01:32,546 --> 01:01:34,264
Yeah, um

1029
01:01:34,264 --> 01:01:41,861
think hearing that ah Mole, I'm weighing out if I want to do this or not.

1030
01:01:41,861 --> 01:01:48,574
I think hearing that Mole's like, ah it is perhaps my duty to all of you.

1031
01:01:48,574 --> 01:01:57,734
I, and he picks, he pulls out like the pistol he has, I'm happy to sacrifice myself and go
outside and talk with the police if it gets them off the case.

1032
01:01:57,902 --> 01:02:00,725
don't know if that's how crime scene investigations work.

1033
01:02:00,725 --> 01:02:06,062
ah They'll arrest you and then they'll come back and quarantine this whole area.

1034
01:02:06,062 --> 01:02:14,508
I don't think they're gonna let us do a metallurgy project in the backyard while they're
investigating whatever the hell just happened here.

1035
01:02:14,508 --> 01:02:18,743
Alright my son, that's what you think we should do, then that's fine.

1036
01:02:18,743 --> 01:02:20,524
Mole won't do that then.

1037
01:02:22,089 --> 01:02:23,422
Morrison, you stopped the burner.

1038
01:02:23,422 --> 01:02:24,715
Can you call Madison?

1039
01:02:24,715 --> 01:02:30,648
And if she remembers any of this bullshit, can she intercept local PD in some way?

1040
01:02:30,648 --> 01:02:31,240
Yeah.

1041
01:02:31,240 --> 01:02:32,683
Yeah, that was on my mind anyway.

1042
01:02:32,683 --> 01:02:36,232
I did send her those pictures, so maybe she had a flashback the same as we did.

1043
01:02:36,232 --> 01:02:37,634
And I call.

1044
01:02:37,634 --> 01:02:41,614
Yeah, can you roll San for Madison for me?

1045
01:02:41,614 --> 01:02:42,415
Sure.

1046
01:02:47,383 --> 01:02:47,904
Check.

1047
01:02:47,904 --> 01:02:51,251
Um, yeah, can you give me a D6?

1048
01:02:51,251 --> 01:02:51,932
One.

1049
01:02:51,932 --> 01:02:53,073
Lovely.
