1
00:00:06,062 --> 00:00:20,372
Flashlights played across his features you recognized as Anthony Hayden, who begged your
forgiveness as the rope-like tendrils sprouting from the back of his skull, neck, and

2
00:00:20,372 --> 00:00:36,088
spine began to crawl across the ceiling, walls, and floors, which are carpeted in a mat of
the things, and began to inch his hanging body closer to you.

3
00:00:36,088 --> 00:00:37,739
begging and crying.

4
00:00:37,739 --> 00:00:44,522
And so that's where we are, and I think we're gonna start, if you don't mind, in Dex
order, just right off the fucking bat.

5
00:00:44,522 --> 00:00:47,404
If you don't wanna fight, you don't have to, you can try and talk.

6
00:00:47,404 --> 00:00:52,182
But we're gonna start with Magpie at a seventeen decks.

7
00:00:52,182 --> 00:00:53,062
Right.

8
00:00:53,183 --> 00:00:56,307
I don't have words for what I'm looking at.

9
00:00:56,307 --> 00:00:59,831
I got one thing, and that's the business end of this cannon.

10
00:00:59,831 --> 00:01:01,453
And I'm unloading.

11
00:01:01,453 --> 00:01:03,235
I rip it from my jacket.

12
00:01:03,235 --> 00:01:13,314
Um I shink shink safeties off and I am going to try and pace a fine line uh across the
tether what's holding Anthony to the ceiling.

13
00:01:13,314 --> 00:01:14,656
Yeah, for sure.

14
00:01:14,656 --> 00:01:16,820
Two little bits, two questions.

15
00:01:16,820 --> 00:01:20,928
First is, are you dropping your flashlight to do this?

16
00:01:20,928 --> 00:01:25,523
I imagine it has a a tactical clip on the side of my gun.

17
00:01:25,523 --> 00:01:26,870
Is that a reasonable thing?

18
00:01:26,870 --> 00:01:28,212
Yeah, sure.

19
00:01:28,212 --> 00:01:29,290
I like that a lot.

20
00:01:29,290 --> 00:01:39,370
Uh second, I will let you roll unnatural for some information, if you'd like, before
taking this action.

21
00:01:39,370 --> 00:01:41,645
A little something a little something something.

22
00:01:41,645 --> 00:01:45,214
get me with a little something No that's a thirty above a twelve.

23
00:01:45,214 --> 00:01:45,535
no.

24
00:01:45,535 --> 00:01:46,115
Okay.

25
00:01:46,115 --> 00:01:47,096
That's unfortunate.

26
00:01:47,096 --> 00:01:49,337
Are you gonna make a called shot?

27
00:01:50,778 --> 00:01:51,219
Yeah.

28
00:01:51,219 --> 00:01:55,162
I believe that is a minus twenty to your attack.

29
00:01:55,162 --> 00:01:58,524
Does your SMG take heavy weapons or firearms?

30
00:01:58,524 --> 00:02:00,425
I Okay.

31
00:02:00,425 --> 00:02:01,479
Roll them bones.

32
00:02:01,479 --> 00:02:02,520
Yeah right.

33
00:02:02,520 --> 00:02:05,324
well it were a seventy seven and now it's a fifty seven.

34
00:02:05,495 --> 00:02:08,089
but all of that's plenty good when you roll a nineteen.

35
00:02:08,688 --> 00:02:09,652
Alright.

36
00:02:09,652 --> 00:02:11,468
Yeah, gimme damage.

37
00:02:11,468 --> 00:02:12,520
Yes, sir.

38
00:02:12,520 --> 00:02:15,926
Yali Tali then comin' at ya, Mm-hmm.

39
00:02:15,926 --> 00:02:18,222
That's zero zero six.

40
00:02:18,222 --> 00:02:19,517
Thank you.

41
00:02:19,518 --> 00:02:21,019
on Leap Ballody.

42
00:02:21,019 --> 00:02:24,440
Yeah, that's tremendous.

43
00:02:24,440 --> 00:02:31,063
So you unload just an extremely tight burst.

44
00:02:33,104 --> 00:02:45,949
You you unload probably four of these bursts straight into that hanging tether, that
column, that rope of tendrils that is suspending Anthony.

45
00:02:45,949 --> 00:02:47,712
You watch

46
00:02:47,712 --> 00:03:02,648
your bullets impact the tendrils and you can see where they've struck and you can see that
they have begun to writhe angrily and seemingly in pain, but what you don't see are any

47
00:03:02,648 --> 00:03:03,868
wounds.

48
00:03:03,868 --> 00:03:16,554
There are no bullet holes, there aren't any bruises, there's nothing to indicate once the
firing has stopped, that you actually shot these.

49
00:03:17,832 --> 00:03:20,556
And if you give me a stri can you give me a straight int?

50
00:03:20,556 --> 00:03:22,584
Yes, I can, that's a thirty seven, good enough.

51
00:03:22,584 --> 00:03:37,278
Yeah, th this was the the exact same as back on San Juan Island when Morrison complained
that his I believe knife wasn't doing anything.

52
00:03:37,643 --> 00:03:41,529
And I do recall the um the bathroom footage as well.

53
00:03:41,529 --> 00:03:45,775
And it seems as though they are rather unperturbed in the same way.

54
00:03:45,775 --> 00:03:47,842
Damage aside sorry, go ahead.

55
00:03:47,842 --> 00:03:51,906
You know what I did forget to do was give a sand check to everyone.

56
00:03:51,906 --> 00:03:53,169
Did figure that was coming.

57
00:03:53,169 --> 00:03:53,539
Yeah.

58
00:03:53,539 --> 00:03:55,709
Maybe that's just like a initiative order sixteen.

59
00:03:55,709 --> 00:03:56,182
Three.

60
00:03:56,182 --> 00:03:56,633
There you go.

61
00:03:56,633 --> 00:03:57,284
There you go.

62
00:03:57,284 --> 00:04:00,206
You you you acted before you thought.

63
00:04:00,206 --> 00:04:02,314
That is true to form.

64
00:04:02,314 --> 00:04:04,780
A nineteen on sanity over here.

65
00:04:05,378 --> 00:04:10,401
Yeah, I I failed with uh seventy six over sixty three.

66
00:04:11,128 --> 00:04:11,982
Yeah, I failed.

67
00:04:11,982 --> 00:04:13,987
Thirty seven over an eighteen.

68
00:04:14,411 --> 00:04:17,683
Is triple zero really bad?

69
00:04:17,683 --> 00:04:21,433
It is really, really bad.

70
00:04:21,433 --> 00:04:21,965
Yeah.

71
00:04:21,965 --> 00:04:23,429
Hey guys, it's one hundred.

72
00:04:23,429 --> 00:04:24,289
Why is

73
00:04:28,699 --> 00:04:30,020
Alright.

74
00:04:30,020 --> 00:04:36,304
Magpie, you're gonna take a D six of sand loss yourself up.

75
00:04:36,304 --> 00:04:36,605
Yeah.

76
00:04:36,605 --> 00:04:38,686
Everyone else, it's a D twenty.

77
00:04:39,479 --> 00:04:40,907
Yeah, let's go.

78
00:04:40,907 --> 00:04:42,070
I don't even have one of those out right now.

79
00:04:42,070 --> 00:04:42,431
now.

80
00:04:42,431 --> 00:04:45,304
Miles, it doesn't matter, you don't need it because Eucryp failed.

81
00:04:45,304 --> 00:04:48,138
Eucryp failed.

82
00:04:48,138 --> 00:04:53,050
That is twenty cent loss off the top of the session.

83
00:04:53,050 --> 00:04:54,785
So that was not

84
00:04:55,626 --> 00:04:58,086
Yeah, you should have fucking lied.

85
00:04:58,693 --> 00:05:01,252
Well, I went one below another breaking point.

86
00:05:01,252 --> 00:05:05,248
anyone who's wondering if this is scripted, just go ahead and play this one again.

87
00:05:05,248 --> 00:05:05,746
Yeah.

88
00:05:05,746 --> 00:05:06,648
Right.

89
00:05:06,648 --> 00:05:09,633
I only lost two on a one D twenty.

90
00:05:09,836 --> 00:05:10,897
Lucky you.

91
00:05:11,591 --> 00:05:14,035
let's find out if you're having an acute episode.

92
00:05:14,498 --> 00:05:15,560
Past my breaking point.

93
00:05:15,560 --> 00:05:16,622
My god.

94
00:05:16,622 --> 00:05:17,323
What?

95
00:05:17,323 --> 00:05:19,868
God is real, and he's alive on the inside.

96
00:05:19,868 --> 00:05:20,949
And he's

97
00:05:21,239 --> 00:05:22,500
And he's you?

98
00:05:22,618 --> 00:05:25,547
Me What is what does Mull say in this moment?

99
00:05:25,547 --> 00:05:27,269
Give us one of your quotes.

100
00:05:28,189 --> 00:05:36,140
what did I wanna I want him to actually shout out, uh, usurper, usurper, I'm the real son,
and then uh do whatever he's gonna do.

101
00:05:36,140 --> 00:05:36,980
So

102
00:05:37,376 --> 00:05:40,037
Morrison, wh how'd you how'd you take that?

103
00:05:40,259 --> 00:05:41,183
eleven.

104
00:05:41,183 --> 00:05:42,494
So not great.

105
00:05:42,494 --> 00:05:43,540
not great.

106
00:05:43,540 --> 00:05:44,525
Not great.

107
00:05:44,525 --> 00:05:46,383
How's your breaking point looking?

108
00:05:46,383 --> 00:05:51,094
Uh I that puts me uh eight past it.

109
00:05:51,756 --> 00:05:53,127
Alright, okay.

110
00:05:53,127 --> 00:06:07,714
So for those of you who have shot screaming past your breaking points, um, yeah, what are
you thinking for columns of flesh whispering secrets in your head?

111
00:06:08,435 --> 00:06:14,638
how do we feel about what what is what is the worst about this for you personally?

112
00:06:14,702 --> 00:06:15,383
Hmm.

113
00:06:15,383 --> 00:06:23,028
Yeah, I think for Morrison, maybe this is kind of a rebound for like not losing as much
sanity for my wife dying as I should have.

114
00:06:23,028 --> 00:06:29,272
And so he that's still kind of in the back of his mind and he's like, fuck man, I I just
went through this, like not this shit again.

115
00:06:29,272 --> 00:06:30,513
Fuck this asshole.

116
00:06:30,513 --> 00:06:32,014
What the fuck is even these words?

117
00:06:32,014 --> 00:06:33,235
Like what is this whispering?

118
00:06:33,235 --> 00:06:34,966
Like, shut the fuck up.

119
00:06:34,966 --> 00:06:36,717
I've got my own problems to deal with.

120
00:06:36,717 --> 00:06:37,698
Fuck you.

121
00:06:37,698 --> 00:06:43,778
And probably he he's gonna be mostly fight, and then I guess flight.

122
00:06:43,778 --> 00:06:45,192
And then freeze last.

123
00:06:45,192 --> 00:06:48,070
I meant your new starts with a D.

124
00:06:48,984 --> 00:06:50,066
Thank you.

125
00:06:50,770 --> 00:06:52,288
This can be depression.

126
00:06:52,288 --> 00:06:55,202
Is there are there any like rage associated disorders?

127
00:06:55,202 --> 00:06:57,136
I feel like Morrison is historically

128
00:06:57,136 --> 00:06:58,712
uh disorder.

129
00:06:58,712 --> 00:06:59,214
Yeah.

130
00:06:59,214 --> 00:07:02,797
Historically he's been a pretty like level headed, like the outer trainee.

131
00:07:03,158 --> 00:07:04,284
I like that a lot.

132
00:07:04,284 --> 00:07:06,598
Yeah, you can just like snap.

133
00:07:06,598 --> 00:07:07,281
For sure.

134
00:07:07,281 --> 00:07:10,126
uh

135
00:07:10,126 --> 00:07:12,515
probably scary too, right, to us.

136
00:07:12,515 --> 00:07:16,486
Uh who've scarcely ever heard him have beat in a

137
00:07:16,549 --> 00:07:16,960
Yeah.

138
00:07:16,960 --> 00:07:17,302
Yeah.

139
00:07:17,302 --> 00:07:19,521
Usually like level.

140
00:07:19,521 --> 00:07:21,952
And now he's just like, nope, I'm done.

141
00:07:21,952 --> 00:07:31,146
And scary and also like in some ways I think it it makes me feel like like when you're a
kid and you like knew your dad was mad about something, but he was like trying to keep it

142
00:07:31,146 --> 00:07:35,708
under wraps and then the last little straw breaks and then he like yells at you or
whatever.

143
00:07:35,708 --> 00:07:38,099
Cause we were all like, he's our safety, our rock.

144
00:07:38,099 --> 00:07:39,270
But he is not.

145
00:07:39,270 --> 00:07:40,450
We have different fathers.

146
00:07:40,450 --> 00:07:44,352
Yeah, I don't know why I said that, Joe Wyndham has never once yelled at me ever in my
life.

147
00:07:44,352 --> 00:07:49,167
So my dad was like, he raised a baby, so Yeah

148
00:07:49,167 --> 00:07:52,312
Miles, what's tripping you up about this situation?

149
00:07:52,312 --> 00:08:03,668
Well I hit a breaking point as well and I would say he would start getting paranoia that
memory is just an illusion and maybe he's not even here and maybe what has he forgotten?

150
00:08:03,668 --> 00:08:06,621
Does he does he even have a wife and a son?

151
00:08:06,634 --> 00:08:10,786
Is that paranoia or is that disassociative identity disorder?

152
00:08:10,786 --> 00:08:12,274
Sure, yeah, that's good.

153
00:08:12,274 --> 00:08:13,439
Yeah, who am I?

154
00:08:13,439 --> 00:08:14,320
Like

155
00:08:14,496 --> 00:08:18,488
Without your memories, are you still you or are you someone else?

156
00:08:18,488 --> 00:08:19,168
Thank you.

157
00:08:19,168 --> 00:08:23,951
would be some paranoia that would go along with it, I think, but um yeah, I think that's a
good one.

158
00:08:23,951 --> 00:08:30,355
But yeah, he he walks up or gets out of this elevator presumably and is holding this gas
can.

159
00:08:30,355 --> 00:08:31,105
cool.

160
00:08:31,392 --> 00:08:37,974
We we're gonna we're gonna keep staying in dexterity order because no one has gotten out
of this elevator.

161
00:08:37,974 --> 00:08:44,086
The door is open, there's gunfire, and a realization of what you're actually looking at.

162
00:08:44,086 --> 00:08:52,519
The two of you that have taken more than five San right off the bat, can you rank fight,
flight, or freeze for me in order of likeliness?

163
00:08:52,519 --> 00:08:55,469
I heard fight most for Morrison.

164
00:08:55,710 --> 00:08:56,951
what's next for ya?

165
00:08:56,951 --> 00:08:58,659
Flight and then freeze.

166
00:08:58,659 --> 00:09:00,628
He's in action mode at this point.

167
00:09:00,628 --> 00:09:01,400
Sure.

168
00:09:01,400 --> 00:09:01,812
Yeah.

169
00:09:01,812 --> 00:09:02,836
Give me a D six.

170
00:09:02,836 --> 00:09:06,430
Actually, no, we're gonna say you fight without stopping.

171
00:09:06,430 --> 00:09:07,404
There's no

172
00:09:07,404 --> 00:09:08,057
Yeah.

173
00:09:08,057 --> 00:09:11,398
I mean I rolled the five, which I think it's six through four, right?

174
00:09:11,398 --> 00:09:13,523
So he would fight anyway.

175
00:09:13,523 --> 00:09:19,766
No no no no it's uh one, two and three were fight, four and five were fight and six was
free.

176
00:09:19,766 --> 00:09:21,409
Yeah, Jimmy, I think we fucked that up.

177
00:09:21,409 --> 00:09:22,266
Okay.

178
00:09:22,266 --> 00:09:23,507
Not rules, in fact.

179
00:09:23,507 --> 00:09:25,369
No, you're supposed to just pick.

180
00:09:26,851 --> 00:09:27,292
Yep.

181
00:09:27,292 --> 00:09:31,035
Which is why uh Nick has been picking every single time.

182
00:09:31,476 --> 00:09:33,798
Because he's playing by the rules.

183
00:09:33,836 --> 00:09:37,270
I think with twenty sand loss we can let the dice take it though.

184
00:09:37,270 --> 00:09:37,760
Okay.

185
00:09:37,760 --> 00:09:45,838
So I mean I would say twenty sand loss freeze number one, fight number two, and then
flight number three.

186
00:09:45,838 --> 00:09:46,318
Okay.

187
00:09:46,318 --> 00:09:47,509
Roll a D six for me.

188
00:09:47,509 --> 00:09:49,381
One, two, and three is freeze.

189
00:09:49,381 --> 00:09:51,262
Four and five are flight.

190
00:09:51,262 --> 00:09:52,343
And six.

191
00:09:52,343 --> 00:09:52,923
Great.

192
00:09:52,923 --> 00:09:54,864
Was that flight or fight?

193
00:09:54,864 --> 00:09:55,235
Flight.

194
00:09:55,235 --> 00:09:55,725
Flight.

195
00:09:55,725 --> 00:09:57,056
Okay, you've got a fight.

196
00:09:57,056 --> 00:10:00,458
Okay, you you it is fight time.

197
00:10:00,458 --> 00:10:03,871
You must kill this before it kills you.

198
00:10:03,871 --> 00:10:04,891
All right.

199
00:10:04,891 --> 00:10:09,044
Magpie, we did not finish narrating the end of your turn.

200
00:10:09,044 --> 00:10:14,447
I also think uh did did Mole have anything else to Okay.

201
00:10:14,447 --> 00:10:15,301
Yeah, yeah yeah.

202
00:10:15,301 --> 00:10:15,824
All right.

203
00:10:15,824 --> 00:10:19,596
He could have an acute episode, but I don't think it's gonna change how he acts, frankly.

204
00:10:19,596 --> 00:10:21,332
Well's the most in control.

205
00:10:23,023 --> 00:10:24,163
yeah, okay.

206
00:10:24,163 --> 00:10:35,352
I was just curious, uh on account of like when the screwdrivers were going in temples and
all that, it felt like there was maybe a a temporary disruption that happened and then it

207
00:10:35,352 --> 00:10:36,993
all kind of snapped back.

208
00:10:37,334 --> 00:10:47,452
Curious if maybe there was a window where like this happened so quickly that he's been
displaced or the the tether is is thinner and longer now or something of that sort.

209
00:10:47,452 --> 00:10:47,860
Would

210
00:10:47,860 --> 00:10:50,573
you roll luck for me?

211
00:10:50,573 --> 00:10:52,334
Straight up and down, fifty-fifty shot.

212
00:10:52,334 --> 00:11:06,156
I Hey, yeah, you know, while you were firing, you actually you you you were able to
realize that your shots weren't making much of an impact on the tendrils, and you began to

213
00:11:06,156 --> 00:11:10,080
track your shots down towards Anthony.

214
00:11:10,080 --> 00:11:15,264
Uh would you have put some bullets into Anthony Hayden in this situation?

215
00:11:15,422 --> 00:11:29,450
I mean I suppose if the first couple of if the first couple of bursts seemed ineffectual
and as though they weren't doing anything that I meant to, I think that one uninformed,

216
00:11:29,450 --> 00:11:37,420
unnatural role before told me that splitting his head open was probably a good idea, and
so that seems on my mind.

217
00:11:37,420 --> 00:11:38,010
Yeah.

218
00:11:38,010 --> 00:11:45,053
Then yeah, you you you do manage to put a shot through Anthony Hayden's eye.

219
00:11:45,053 --> 00:11:59,069
And the bullet seems to pass through his skull, catching more of these tendrils, like
vines, and the the the bulk of them are spilling out behind him, behind his head, as more

220
00:11:59,069 --> 00:12:02,300
of these tendrils are pulled through by the bullets.

221
00:12:02,340 --> 00:12:07,178
And yeah, you can see any you take a shot

222
00:12:07,178 --> 00:12:14,748
Somewhere that goes through his brain, Anthony Hayden seizes and begins to he what is it?

223
00:12:14,748 --> 00:12:15,379
The fencer?

224
00:12:15,379 --> 00:12:16,850
What do you call that?

225
00:12:18,093 --> 00:12:19,162
Fencing response.

226
00:12:19,162 --> 00:12:21,612
yeah, like he's doing his posturing.

227
00:12:21,612 --> 00:12:22,163
Yeah.

228
00:12:22,163 --> 00:12:28,924
And every time a bullet passes through his brain, uh his body tenses and shakes.

229
00:12:28,950 --> 00:12:30,444
There we take those.

230
00:12:30,444 --> 00:12:32,137
What is the lethality on your gun?

231
00:12:32,137 --> 00:12:32,758
Ten.

232
00:12:32,758 --> 00:12:33,119
Ten?

233
00:12:33,119 --> 00:12:33,720
Okay.

234
00:12:33,720 --> 00:12:34,181
Thank you.

235
00:12:34,181 --> 00:12:34,738
Yes, sir.

236
00:12:34,738 --> 00:12:36,265
It's gonna be Morris Fin.

237
00:12:36,265 --> 00:12:37,128
Would

238
00:12:37,128 --> 00:12:42,124
We notice anything happening to the tendrils whenever Anthony does this.

239
00:12:42,124 --> 00:12:43,970
I think you're blind with rage.

240
00:12:43,970 --> 00:12:45,011
Yeah, sure, that's fair.

241
00:12:45,011 --> 00:12:45,831
I probably am.

242
00:12:45,831 --> 00:12:52,234
Um who who's w Yeah, the royal wee.

243
00:12:52,435 --> 00:12:54,556
We are curious.

244
00:12:55,577 --> 00:13:05,996
Yeah, so I guess thinking on the brief flash of whatever I caught before I became blind
with rage, I remember you saying that like these mouths are um sort of like singing or

245
00:13:05,996 --> 00:13:09,385
making some kind of vocalization or whispering.

246
00:13:09,385 --> 00:13:12,156
But they seem to be inhaling as they do it.

247
00:13:12,156 --> 00:13:12,694
Yeah.

248
00:13:12,694 --> 00:13:23,013
You can tell me if I don't have the wherewithal to do all of this, but I probably want to
slap my gas mask on, grab one of those canisters, and just try to like shove the nozzle in

249
00:13:23,013 --> 00:13:26,050
the mouth of the closest tendril, and then just crank it open.

250
00:13:26,050 --> 00:13:27,610
Yeah, absolutely.

251
00:13:27,731 --> 00:13:40,033
I'm gonna say you can roll me a Dex to get your gas mask on in uh gimme dex or military
science to get your gas mask on in under six seconds.

252
00:13:40,033 --> 00:13:45,700
Uh Magpie and Morrison are allowed to make this check because they were in the military.

253
00:13:45,700 --> 00:13:50,242
Mull, Miles, you're gonna take a whole last turn doing this if you ever want to.

254
00:13:50,242 --> 00:13:52,984
That's a sixteen on a seventy five for deck.

255
00:13:52,984 --> 00:13:54,074
Sounds pretty good.

256
00:13:54,074 --> 00:14:06,268
So yeah, Morrison, with a practiced move, you you hook your thumbs under the rubber, put
your chin in first, slap it over your head, you basically shove one of the canisters onto

257
00:14:06,268 --> 00:14:10,900
its side so it falls, pinning one of these tendrils.

258
00:14:10,900 --> 00:14:18,792
And how do you open are you gonna take the time to erk open the valve or are you gonna
stomp it?

259
00:14:18,840 --> 00:14:21,195
I mean is there a valve I can shove in a mouth?

260
00:14:21,195 --> 00:14:24,952
Like I want it to be like sucking on it like a scuba tank if I can.

261
00:14:24,952 --> 00:14:25,924
Yeah, no.

262
00:14:25,924 --> 00:14:26,295
No.

263
00:14:26,295 --> 00:14:26,987
It's a bottle.

264
00:14:26,987 --> 00:14:28,770
There's no regulator on it.

265
00:14:28,770 --> 00:14:32,578
It has a valve at the top that you can open.

266
00:14:32,578 --> 00:14:35,484
It's it's the spot where you would attach anything.

267
00:14:35,484 --> 00:14:36,680
It has that.

268
00:14:36,680 --> 00:14:38,155
Okay, I gotcha, yeah.

269
00:14:38,155 --> 00:14:38,575
Okay.

270
00:14:38,575 --> 00:14:39,563
uh

271
00:14:39,563 --> 00:14:47,014
may stomp off if you would like an expedient release of gas, or you can erk erk open it
up.

272
00:14:48,034 --> 00:14:54,714
Y you know, the smart part in me says to do the irks, but I think in a blind rage, he's
just gonna stomp it.

273
00:14:54,714 --> 00:14:56,116
And I'm sorry.

274
00:14:57,216 --> 00:14:58,687
Okay, that works.

275
00:14:58,687 --> 00:15:12,099
Agent Morrison whips out a gas mass, slaps it over his face, tips over a phosgene gas
bottle onto the closest tendril and stomps on the valve.

276
00:15:12,099 --> 00:15:22,187
It snaps and a pale yellow green gas immediately obscures the vision of everyone nearby.

277
00:15:22,187 --> 00:15:26,146
Your skin, lungs and eyes begin to burn.

278
00:15:26,146 --> 00:15:27,959
Anything else you want to do on your turn?

279
00:15:28,110 --> 00:15:31,082
oh I mean unless there's some way I can direct the gas better, but that's

280
00:15:31,082 --> 00:15:31,585
it.

281
00:15:31,585 --> 00:15:32,751
No, sounds good.

282
00:15:32,751 --> 00:15:34,540
Hey Mo, it's your turn.

283
00:15:34,540 --> 00:15:34,951
Yeah.

284
00:15:34,951 --> 00:15:41,541
Um so A, Mole lost two, which is tri which triggers his megalomania.

285
00:15:41,541 --> 00:15:42,138
So

286
00:15:42,138 --> 00:15:44,378
It triggers a follow up saying check.

287
00:15:44,378 --> 00:15:51,082
Well that's the most Which you're going to fail and then triggers your megalomania four.

288
00:15:51,082 --> 00:15:52,022
Yep, there it is.

289
00:15:52,022 --> 00:15:54,673
uh you have another acute episode.

290
00:15:54,673 --> 00:16:02,586
I'm not sure you have stopped having an acute episode since like season the th the the
first scenario.

291
00:16:02,595 --> 00:16:02,885
Yeah.

292
00:16:02,885 --> 00:16:08,448
This has just been kind of l lulls, you know, ebbs and flows of uh one giant acute
episode.

293
00:16:08,448 --> 00:16:12,093
oh super quick, sorry, uh roll a D ten for

294
00:16:12,093 --> 00:16:14,454
Yes, I know what a D ten is.

295
00:16:14,454 --> 00:16:16,080
One of your D one hundred bits.

296
00:16:16,080 --> 00:16:18,616
Or a D twenty divided by two.

297
00:16:18,616 --> 00:16:19,640
Shut up everybody.

298
00:16:19,640 --> 00:16:21,151
Four Okay.

299
00:16:21,151 --> 00:16:33,261
You take four points of damage as the phosgen gas begins to I think bind to the fat cells
in your skin and lungs?

300
00:16:33,261 --> 00:16:33,811
It's screaming.

301
00:16:33,811 --> 00:16:34,614
Fatty cells.

302
00:16:34,614 --> 00:16:35,755
Not my fat.

303
00:16:35,755 --> 00:16:44,319
I what I'm really trying to figure out here is if Mole in the throes of Megalomania is
going to like try to put on the gas mask or not.

304
00:16:44,319 --> 00:16:51,233
My initial thought was that he may not, but I think getting pain is probably gonna
override you know what I mean?

305
00:16:51,233 --> 00:16:56,526
And so it becomes like a thing where he's just like, uh the demons around me.

306
00:16:56,526 --> 00:16:59,898
And then he like grabs the mask and throws it on and spins the turn.

307
00:16:59,898 --> 00:17:03,310
But I think prior to the pain happening, I don't think he would he would

308
00:17:03,448 --> 00:17:04,610
Yeah, I like that.

309
00:17:04,610 --> 00:17:05,772
What's your health at?

310
00:17:05,772 --> 00:17:09,661
I guess I asked everyone's stand and willpower, but not anybody's health.

311
00:17:09,661 --> 00:17:10,486
How's real?

312
00:17:10,486 --> 00:17:13,388
I I I'm a nine, so how much did uh four?

313
00:17:13,388 --> 00:17:15,344
uh

314
00:17:15,344 --> 00:17:16,476
Down to five.

315
00:17:16,476 --> 00:17:17,726
At fifteen.

316
00:17:18,763 --> 00:17:19,578
Fifteen.

317
00:17:19,578 --> 00:17:22,154
How's everybody at fifteen in at nine?

318
00:17:22,154 --> 00:17:27,945
Nunny all did we do like did you take any HP loss for carvin' each other's backs?

319
00:17:28,648 --> 00:17:29,188
Just one?

320
00:17:29,188 --> 00:17:31,854
You had sixteen and now you're down to fifteen.

321
00:17:31,854 --> 00:17:33,910
I see, okay, fine, whatever.

322
00:17:33,910 --> 00:17:37,592
I started with nine, so I just have no sanity nor health.

323
00:17:37,592 --> 00:17:39,564
You've been playing on hard mode, my guy.

324
00:17:39,564 --> 00:17:41,088
Yeah, look at me now.

325
00:17:41,088 --> 00:17:42,761
About to win the whole thing.

326
00:17:43,031 --> 00:17:45,020
One shot mentality, you know?

327
00:17:48,052 --> 00:17:50,156
It didn't work out so well.

328
00:17:50,228 --> 00:17:54,602
It is the things Well, it's not Anthony's turn.

329
00:17:54,602 --> 00:17:58,925
It's the turn of whatever is inside Anthony.

330
00:17:58,925 --> 00:18:00,947
And it's going to one.

331
00:18:00,947 --> 00:18:05,691
Uh, it's gonna react to the gas.

332
00:18:05,691 --> 00:18:06,390
Okay.

333
00:18:06,390 --> 00:18:18,921
You can see where the gas is physically contact where the gas is concentrated near these
sort of breathing uh tendrils.

334
00:18:18,921 --> 00:18:19,922
It is

335
00:18:19,922 --> 00:18:37,255
Um making an impact, the uh sort of slimy flesh seems to be bubbling near those areas, not
blistering so much as becoming tumorous, uh at a rapid pace.

336
00:18:37,255 --> 00:18:40,897
Hydra is oops, the thing inside

337
00:18:41,969 --> 00:18:43,457
Cut that, cut that.

338
00:18:43,714 --> 00:18:45,094
Delete, delete.

339
00:18:45,796 --> 00:18:48,377
God, I so mad.

340
00:18:49,558 --> 00:18:52,140
wait until I tell you what this thing is actually called.

341
00:18:53,601 --> 00:18:54,882
I did not.

342
00:18:56,083 --> 00:19:01,947
Hydra is going to attempt to grab all of you at the same time.

343
00:19:01,947 --> 00:19:05,254
So I'm going to roll four melee.

344
00:19:05,643 --> 00:19:12,216
We are still in the elevator, but Morrison did Morrison exit the elevator to do this?

345
00:19:12,216 --> 00:19:13,386
That's up to you, bud.

346
00:19:13,386 --> 00:19:14,934
I don't think so.

347
00:19:14,934 --> 00:19:18,474
Yeah, I mean I guess it depends on how far away the tentacle is.

348
00:19:18,474 --> 00:19:21,998
I had assumed I had to step in at least a little bit into the room.

349
00:19:21,998 --> 00:19:24,259
Okay, that seems reasonable to me.

350
00:19:24,458 --> 00:19:28,520
The t there are not yet tentacles in the elevator.

351
00:19:28,520 --> 00:19:31,981
There are about to be tentacles in the elevator.

352
00:19:32,741 --> 00:19:39,763
Magpie, the attack on you is a sixty-nine, which does not pass.

353
00:19:39,763 --> 00:19:45,745
Morrison, the attack on you, is a an 18, which is a hit.

354
00:19:45,745 --> 00:19:48,172
So would you like to dodge?

355
00:19:48,172 --> 00:19:54,134
Yeah, I think in his blind rage Morrison would dodge like he's just combat mode.

356
00:19:54,134 --> 00:19:56,128
That's gonna take your next turn away from you.

357
00:19:56,128 --> 00:19:56,639
Okay.

358
00:19:56,639 --> 00:19:59,323
And I what am I trying to roll decks?

359
00:19:59,364 --> 00:20:00,355
no, I'm rolling God.

360
00:20:00,355 --> 00:20:01,267
Okay, I gotcha.

361
00:20:01,267 --> 00:20:05,344
Uh I just have the Uh nineteen on a thirty.

362
00:20:05,344 --> 00:20:10,917
Okay, you successfully dodge the grasping tendrils.

363
00:20:10,917 --> 00:20:15,040
Mull, it is a 90, which is a miss.

364
00:20:15,040 --> 00:20:16,280
And then Miles.

365
00:20:16,280 --> 00:20:18,081
It's an 86, which is a miss.

366
00:20:18,081 --> 00:20:19,602
Jesus.

367
00:20:19,602 --> 00:20:20,363
Alright.

368
00:20:20,363 --> 00:20:21,223
Very good.

369
00:20:21,223 --> 00:20:22,203
Okay.

370
00:20:22,864 --> 00:20:23,685
yeah.

371
00:20:23,685 --> 00:20:30,269
Hydra is going to do one last thing, which is it is going to make a strength check.

372
00:20:30,269 --> 00:20:33,038
To it succeeds with a 48.

373
00:20:33,038 --> 00:20:44,281
Pick up the canister that is damaging it and smash it sideways through the door of the
elevator, bending the frame.

374
00:20:45,441 --> 00:20:48,362
Yeah, back into the elevator.

375
00:20:48,902 --> 00:20:52,783
Hydra is going to take another D ten for this maneuver.

376
00:20:52,783 --> 00:20:55,344
Uh it is Anthony Hayden's turn.

377
00:20:55,344 --> 00:21:00,726
Uh Anthony Hayden hangs there weeping and saying he's sorry.

378
00:21:00,876 --> 00:21:02,208
Miles, it's your turn.

379
00:21:02,208 --> 00:21:05,494
Miles needs to do a follow up sand roll.

380
00:21:05,494 --> 00:21:06,218
Okay.

381
00:21:06,218 --> 00:21:07,043
Fair enough.

382
00:21:07,043 --> 00:21:09,646
He also needs to take a D ten of phosgene.

383
00:21:09,646 --> 00:21:14,309
And he failed that with a 79 and then D10 phosgene.

384
00:21:14,309 --> 00:21:15,140
One, thank God.

385
00:21:15,140 --> 00:21:15,950
Okay.

386
00:21:16,511 --> 00:21:19,892
so he's holding his mouth shut with his hand.

387
00:21:20,333 --> 00:21:30,720
And yeah, the sand roll I failed, which means I take or I go into my hypergeometry
addiction.

388
00:21:30,720 --> 00:21:34,018
Can I use that in this state to fight?

389
00:21:34,018 --> 00:21:35,584
Sure, why not?

390
00:21:35,584 --> 00:21:42,997
So he would since he's in the fight mode, he would burn all of his willpower, even his
power if he can, like he would just go through everything.

391
00:21:42,997 --> 00:21:46,879
Like he is probably choking, falling down to his knees.

392
00:21:46,879 --> 00:21:54,542
And he hears these tentacles doing the same chant that he remembers from the island now.

393
00:21:54,542 --> 00:22:03,007
And he is going to tell he's going to do the hand symbols and tell Anthony Hayden to
forget the chant.

394
00:22:03,007 --> 00:22:03,728
Okay.

395
00:22:03,728 --> 00:22:09,506
So you are picking Anthony Hayden and you are commanding him to forget the chant.

396
00:22:09,506 --> 00:22:10,520
Forget Hydra.

397
00:22:10,520 --> 00:22:13,190
no, I wouldn't know Hydra, but forget sandwich.

398
00:22:13,190 --> 00:22:13,700
Hydra.

399
00:22:13,700 --> 00:22:17,873
I d I do believe that um Roger Douglas called it Hydra.

400
00:22:17,873 --> 00:22:18,494
Okay.

401
00:22:18,494 --> 00:22:18,964
Did he not?

402
00:22:18,964 --> 00:22:19,334
Yeah.

403
00:22:19,334 --> 00:22:20,095
I think he did.

404
00:22:20,095 --> 00:22:23,587
But again, you are targeting Hayden and not Hydra.

405
00:22:23,587 --> 00:22:24,838
This is correct?

406
00:22:25,468 --> 00:22:27,047
Ha ha ha ha!

407
00:22:27,832 --> 00:22:28,385
Love that.

408
00:22:28,385 --> 00:22:29,242
Love that.

409
00:22:29,242 --> 00:22:33,286
I mean it's using him, so yes, I'm targeting him.

410
00:22:33,558 --> 00:22:34,301
okay.

411
00:22:34,301 --> 00:22:34,943
Yeah.

412
00:22:34,943 --> 00:22:36,791
So what is what are you commanding?

413
00:22:36,791 --> 00:22:37,824
Say it out loud.

414
00:22:37,824 --> 00:22:41,622
I command you to forget Hydra.

415
00:22:41,622 --> 00:22:49,898
Okay, I want you to you're gonna lose you you wanna spend all your p power on this?

416
00:22:49,898 --> 00:22:52,396
My power and willpower I'll I'll

417
00:22:52,396 --> 00:22:52,927
Okay.

418
00:22:52,927 --> 00:22:54,468
Jiggly just blast.

419
00:22:54,548 --> 00:22:55,509
that is fine.

420
00:22:55,509 --> 00:23:05,721
Uh roll your ritual activation roll, which is ninety-nine minus your No, it is roll some
dice and tell me what you get.

421
00:23:05,721 --> 00:23:06,982
eh

422
00:23:07,608 --> 00:23:09,612
twenty eight.

423
00:23:09,612 --> 00:23:17,736
Okay, you wanted to fail a sand check here, so you must spend a permanent power to force
the connection.

424
00:23:17,736 --> 00:23:21,932
Can I use my luck to swap that to an eighty two then?

425
00:23:21,932 --> 00:23:23,034
You can!

426
00:23:23,034 --> 00:23:23,186
Woo!

427
00:23:23,186 --> 00:23:23,709
Woo!

428
00:23:23,709 --> 00:23:25,424
You can, you can.

429
00:23:25,424 --> 00:23:27,322
Yeah, you you succeed.

430
00:23:27,322 --> 00:23:28,728
Uh I'm just

431
00:23:28,728 --> 00:23:30,521
myself to this chant, right?

432
00:23:30,521 --> 00:23:34,348
Like I am like I'm in prostration, I'm in mole mode.

433
00:23:34,348 --> 00:23:36,131
Like I Hell yeah.

434
00:23:36,131 --> 00:23:40,514
It's almost like a worshiping activity, but worshiping memory and this chant.

435
00:23:40,514 --> 00:23:41,255
Yeah.

436
00:23:41,255 --> 00:23:45,037
So there's a few things that are gonna happen here.

437
00:23:45,037 --> 00:23:52,081
The first is that you hit zero willpower and you have an emotional breakdown.

438
00:23:52,902 --> 00:24:03,489
While under the influence of Mother Hydra, much like all of Hydra's other killer, you have
a new prerogative.

439
00:24:05,371 --> 00:24:09,294
Once you are done here, roll a D6 for me, will you?

440
00:24:09,294 --> 00:24:10,166
Five.

441
00:24:10,166 --> 00:24:14,109
Mull is a blinding spot in your vision.

442
00:24:14,109 --> 00:24:20,755
Even seeing the edges of him sends a spike of pain lancing through your skull.

443
00:24:20,755 --> 00:24:24,378
When you're done with this, you know what you have to do.

444
00:24:24,378 --> 00:24:29,261
Second, you make a connection with Anthony Hayden.

445
00:24:31,183 --> 00:24:34,025
please lose one sand.

446
00:24:34,025 --> 00:24:40,044
You begin to dredge through Hayden's memories of Hydra.

447
00:24:40,044 --> 00:24:51,644
You remember age nine on the porch of your childhood home in two thousand five, watching
as your dad gets into the taxi that'll take him away forever.

448
00:24:51,644 --> 00:25:01,732
Mother Hydra gently wraps a tendril around your neck and shoulder, whispering that if you
let her in, she will always be with you.

449
00:25:01,732 --> 00:25:09,208
You remember at sixteen, held in a local jail cell for the night, picked up for your drug
charge in twenty twelve and

450
00:25:09,208 --> 00:25:20,184
Thin grey tendrils rise tenderly from the drain, and you know that if you if you let
Mother Hydra in, it's all you're gonna need to fend off the shakes?

451
00:25:20,184 --> 00:25:21,808
Can I do anything in these dreams?

452
00:25:21,808 --> 00:25:23,478
Or am I just experiencing this?

453
00:25:23,478 --> 00:25:31,331
You are experiencing them and you, Miles, know that you've the ability to obliterate them.

454
00:25:31,331 --> 00:25:32,243
That is what you're doing.

455
00:25:32,243 --> 00:25:35,896
You are calling them to the surface to destroy.

456
00:25:35,896 --> 00:25:37,656
So he would take the tact of

457
00:25:37,656 --> 00:25:40,980
You have not successfully uh cast this ritual, have you?

458
00:25:40,980 --> 00:25:42,566
This is No.

459
00:25:42,566 --> 00:25:43,238
No, okay.

460
00:25:43,238 --> 00:25:43,896
I tried to

461
00:25:43,896 --> 00:25:44,506
Bye.

462
00:25:44,506 --> 00:25:55,864
So I would the memory of the father running away, I would destroy it by having him rip off
the tentacles and chase after his father till the memory ends, if I can do that.

463
00:25:55,864 --> 00:25:58,328
Think I think you don't get to change it.

464
00:25:58,328 --> 00:25:59,791
I think you Yeah.

465
00:25:59,791 --> 00:26:01,744
It's gone forever.

466
00:26:01,744 --> 00:26:03,347
That's what this does.

467
00:26:03,347 --> 00:26:06,082
Is it it is erasing the truth.

468
00:26:06,082 --> 00:26:07,970
I mean you are sorry.

469
00:26:07,970 --> 00:26:12,312
Yeah, I would erase every little window into Mother Hydra.

470
00:26:12,312 --> 00:26:18,764
You know Mother Hydra is deep within Anthony Hayden.

471
00:26:18,764 --> 00:26:21,204
It's this isn't all of it.

472
00:26:21,204 --> 00:26:24,505
You need to hold this connection tight.

473
00:26:24,505 --> 00:26:36,859
You need to grip and reach further into Anthony Hayden's psyche and memories to obliterate
every last trace of Hydra that you can.

474
00:26:36,859 --> 00:26:38,689
This can't have been all of it.

475
00:26:38,689 --> 00:26:42,286
It's like a a fungus growing deep.

476
00:26:42,286 --> 00:26:44,709
I would obviously be sitting there prostrate.

477
00:26:44,709 --> 00:26:54,467
Maybe a ring of that gas has s started to circle around me as I've done this and I'm
holding my concentration on these dreams.

478
00:26:54,467 --> 00:26:55,169
Yeah.

479
00:26:55,169 --> 00:27:00,803
You think you think it might take uh at least twelve more seconds to finish the job.

480
00:27:00,803 --> 00:27:02,456
Magpie, you're up.

481
00:27:02,456 --> 00:27:03,453
Fajine first?

482
00:27:03,453 --> 00:27:05,666
Or was I was I snapping on a mask?

483
00:27:05,666 --> 00:27:06,562
Was that a thing?

484
00:27:06,562 --> 00:27:11,310
You're gonna take it and then you get to make a dex check to not spend your whole turn.

485
00:27:11,310 --> 00:27:11,810
Okay.

486
00:27:11,810 --> 00:27:15,244
yeah, the deck tech check was a fifty-two, but you said it was a d ten.

487
00:27:15,244 --> 00:27:16,214
damage.

488
00:27:16,475 --> 00:27:19,588
A fifty-two is a success, by the way.

489
00:27:19,588 --> 00:27:20,174
D-10.

490
00:27:20,174 --> 00:27:20,859
Terrific.

491
00:27:20,859 --> 00:27:22,701
K eight of that.

492
00:27:22,701 --> 00:27:26,464
Um take a fat fucking breath of that, lads.

493
00:27:26,464 --> 00:27:27,541
All right.

494
00:27:28,492 --> 00:27:39,660
Yeah, I I mean I imagine um coming hacking up before I slap that um mask on my face is
some sort of lining that I didn't know was inside of me and it's probably a different

495
00:27:39,660 --> 00:27:41,322
color now than it was meant to be.

496
00:27:41,322 --> 00:27:44,533
Uh who knows what it was attached to before, but it's long gone.

497
00:27:44,533 --> 00:27:48,436
And it just sits there bubbling as I uh slap this thing on.

498
00:27:48,436 --> 00:27:56,994
And the the only open canister was that detonated, effectively smashed inside of the the
elevator here.

499
00:27:56,994 --> 00:27:57,785
That is correct.

500
00:27:57,785 --> 00:27:59,679
There are two more.

501
00:27:59,679 --> 00:28:04,621
If you'd like to increase the concentration of gas in this elevator.

502
00:28:04,621 --> 00:28:10,075
I I do intend on doing something with the gas, but it's mostly moving it forward.

503
00:28:10,075 --> 00:28:14,819
I am going to for better or worse drop my gun on the ground.

504
00:28:14,819 --> 00:28:28,169
I'm going to put both hands uh on the cart's handle and I am going to push like a
linebacker uh straight over the carpet of tentacles to get these canisters right under

505
00:28:28,169 --> 00:28:29,868
Anthony Hayden's foot and body.

506
00:28:29,868 --> 00:28:30,369
Sounds good.

507
00:28:30,369 --> 00:28:31,980
Did you say cart?

508
00:28:32,362 --> 00:28:34,504
You guys definitely don't have a cart.

509
00:28:34,780 --> 00:28:35,544
Uh okay.

510
00:28:35,544 --> 00:28:36,028
Yeah.

511
00:28:36,028 --> 00:28:37,546
Could sorry, then that

512
00:28:37,546 --> 00:28:42,860
spent like twenty minutes discussing how to manhandle these cylinders into the building.

513
00:28:42,860 --> 00:28:43,591
Okay.

514
00:28:43,591 --> 00:28:44,682
well then I guess it's just one.

515
00:28:44,682 --> 00:28:47,526
Uh I guess it's w just one and a shoulder.

516
00:28:47,526 --> 00:28:49,838
and we're gonna try and muscle it through.

517
00:28:50,580 --> 00:28:51,801
Pretty fucking good.

518
00:28:51,801 --> 00:28:52,758
Sixteen.

519
00:28:52,758 --> 00:28:53,340
Okay.

520
00:28:53,340 --> 00:29:00,443
Yeah, roll strength or athletics if you want uh to move this two hundred pound cylinder by
yourself.

521
00:29:00,443 --> 00:29:03,690
no, seventy nine is just what I needed under an eighty.

522
00:29:03,690 --> 00:29:12,396
Hell yeah, yeah, yeah, Magpie, you shoulder a cylinder and you basically plant it
underneath Hayden.

523
00:29:12,396 --> 00:29:19,117
Yeah, I imagine there's an unpleasant fleshy squelch as it ts through the the floor of uh
of tentacles.

524
00:29:19,117 --> 00:29:27,470
Um and I will stand back uh from the the nozzle um in case anybody else has a grand plan.

525
00:29:27,470 --> 00:29:28,212
Oakadok.

526
00:29:28,212 --> 00:29:32,090
Morrison, I'd say it's your turn, except you spent it dodging.

527
00:29:32,090 --> 00:29:34,181
M Mull, it's you.

528
00:29:34,242 --> 00:29:37,485
So what Mole, I think, would do is dependent on what he sees.

529
00:29:37,485 --> 00:29:46,332
I think that if Mole can see, Mole's first instinct is that, you know, again, this is a
deceiver worm.

530
00:29:46,332 --> 00:29:47,753
He's the real worm.

531
00:29:47,753 --> 00:29:50,395
He knows that there needs to be some way to destroy it.

532
00:29:50,395 --> 00:29:52,677
He wants to kick some shit down, right?

533
00:29:52,677 --> 00:29:56,600
And so have Magpie knocking shit over, I think he wants to kick that open.

534
00:29:56,600 --> 00:30:04,076
But what I will say is that if he gets any hint that Miles falling prostrate looks

535
00:30:04,076 --> 00:30:08,931
ritualistic like looks from the outside like something is going on.

536
00:30:08,931 --> 00:30:17,309
I think that he would honestly be like and and seeing Miles coughing and shit, rush to put
a mask on him to let him do whatever it is that he's doing.

537
00:30:17,309 --> 00:30:19,798
So it I guess it's dependent on what he sees.

538
00:30:19,798 --> 00:30:22,316
I think you can decide what you'd like to do here.

539
00:30:22,316 --> 00:30:22,927
Okay.

540
00:30:22,927 --> 00:30:33,897
I think he rushes over and puts a mask on and is just like he whispers to himself, I guess
you can't really hear it so it's like Even Satan disguises himself as a worm and then puts

541
00:30:33,897 --> 00:30:35,108
the mask on.

542
00:30:36,300 --> 00:30:45,158
Miles, the object of your burning starlit pain floods your vision for a moment.

543
00:30:45,680 --> 00:30:48,354
Which is, I suspect, distracting.

544
00:30:48,354 --> 00:30:49,495
Distracting.

545
00:30:49,495 --> 00:30:57,600
I'd also imagine Miles went went into the dream state, like he closed his eyes um as well
to concentrate.

546
00:30:57,600 --> 00:31:01,523
So yeah, but he can feel, he can smell the mole.

547
00:31:01,523 --> 00:31:02,704
yeah, especially now.

548
00:31:02,704 --> 00:31:05,420
The mole smell is poo just emanating.

549
00:31:05,420 --> 00:31:06,011
Yeah.

550
00:31:06,011 --> 00:31:09,076
Alright, it is Hydra's turn.

551
00:31:09,076 --> 00:31:15,245
Again, Hydra is going to go for a grab yet again on each of you.

552
00:31:15,245 --> 00:31:17,648
That's gonna be Magpie first.

553
00:31:17,648 --> 00:31:20,432
A 24 is enough to hit.

554
00:31:20,432 --> 00:31:21,998
Would you like to dodge?

555
00:31:21,998 --> 00:31:23,270
Hey your next turn.

556
00:31:23,270 --> 00:31:24,737
I don't think I can.

557
00:31:25,336 --> 00:31:29,866
Morrison A forty-five is enough to hit.

558
00:31:29,866 --> 00:31:31,122
Would you like to dodge again?

559
00:31:31,122 --> 00:31:32,864
You lost your turn last time.

560
00:31:32,864 --> 00:31:34,136
Hmm.

561
00:31:35,120 --> 00:31:39,268
I would have to beat a 45 to successfully dodge, right?

562
00:31:39,791 --> 00:31:41,513
And I would have to pass.

563
00:31:41,792 --> 00:31:43,989
You'd have to do both those things, yes.

564
00:31:44,044 --> 00:31:49,574
Yeah, seeing as how thirty is my max, that's yeah.

565
00:31:49,923 --> 00:31:50,618
fair enough.

566
00:31:50,618 --> 00:31:52,485
Uh Mo.

567
00:31:52,626 --> 00:31:55,390
A 76 is not gonna do it.

568
00:31:55,390 --> 00:31:56,692
Miles.

569
00:31:56,692 --> 00:31:59,096
An ought nine will.

570
00:31:59,096 --> 00:32:01,097
Would you like to dodge?

571
00:32:01,539 --> 00:32:03,598
No, he's gonna stay focused on this.

572
00:32:03,598 --> 00:32:04,859
Hell yeah.

573
00:32:04,859 --> 00:32:09,474
My guys, not a dodge among you.

574
00:32:09,474 --> 00:32:13,887
Let me pull up what the fuck Hydra is about.

575
00:32:15,269 --> 00:32:15,904
Yes.

576
00:32:15,904 --> 00:32:16,205
not.

577
00:32:16,205 --> 00:32:18,686
Maybe it just kinda like hugs you a little bit.

578
00:32:18,686 --> 00:32:36,378
Morison, one of the wider tendrils, one of the ones that is sort of it looks like a like a
like a stinkhorn fungus, all holes and lattice changing openings and sizes.

579
00:32:36,378 --> 00:32:43,243
It wraps around your head, eyes, mouth, ears, face.

580
00:32:43,243 --> 00:32:48,224
It fully covers your entire face and

581
00:32:48,224 --> 00:32:52,257
It begins to press on your eyes.

582
00:32:52,317 --> 00:32:59,243
And you know those flashes of purple green light you get from ocular pressure?

583
00:32:59,243 --> 00:33:08,871
You get that and it begins resolving itself into geometric shapes, shifting and changing.

584
00:33:08,871 --> 00:33:11,633
You recognize them from the pad.

585
00:33:11,633 --> 00:33:17,898
They go with the chant, and in your ears the tendril is chanting.

586
00:33:17,898 --> 00:33:25,132
Does the fact that I am wearing a gas mask have any effect on its ability to press on my
eyes in that way?

587
00:33:25,132 --> 00:33:26,412
Let me

588
00:33:26,412 --> 00:33:28,696
And these are these are soundproof gasmen.

589
00:33:28,696 --> 00:33:30,886
Soundproof, soundproof, no communicating.

590
00:33:31,187 --> 00:33:34,488
let me roll something really quick and see if it um hmm.

591
00:33:34,488 --> 00:33:35,168
Yeah.

592
00:33:35,168 --> 00:33:36,528
Uh no.

593
00:33:36,528 --> 00:33:46,872
It does not have an impact on this because it was in fact one of the smaller it's several
of the thinner tendrils that worm up under your mask.

594
00:33:46,872 --> 00:33:47,162
Yeah.

595
00:33:47,162 --> 00:33:51,493
Up under your mask and press on your eyes and whisper in your ears.

596
00:33:51,613 --> 00:33:54,114
I did give you a fifty fifty shot on that.

597
00:33:54,474 --> 00:33:55,392
I promise.

598
00:33:55,392 --> 00:33:56,773
Sure, yeah, that's fine.

599
00:33:56,773 --> 00:33:57,294
Okay.

600
00:33:57,294 --> 00:34:00,377
Well, do I can I act at this point?

601
00:34:00,377 --> 00:34:01,171
Where are we?

602
00:34:01,171 --> 00:34:04,842
No, but I do need you to make an opposed power check with me.

603
00:34:04,842 --> 00:34:06,624
It's the opposite of acting.

604
00:34:06,624 --> 00:34:07,898
It's reacting.

605
00:34:07,898 --> 00:34:09,401
Equal and opposite reactions.

606
00:34:09,401 --> 00:34:10,384
I got a forty.

607
00:34:10,384 --> 00:34:12,428
I don't know what I need to beat or not beat.

608
00:34:12,428 --> 00:34:12,997
I imagine

609
00:34:12,997 --> 00:34:15,098
I got a twenty.

610
00:34:15,098 --> 00:34:16,698
So you win.

611
00:34:16,698 --> 00:34:19,797
Uh assuming a forty passes, which I know it does.

612
00:34:20,339 --> 00:34:20,940
Alright.

613
00:34:20,940 --> 00:34:25,961
You resist the urge to chant along for now.

614
00:34:25,961 --> 00:34:28,082
Magpie and Miles.

615
00:34:28,082 --> 00:34:32,623
Uh something a little different happens to you two.

616
00:34:32,703 --> 00:34:42,774
A some of those thinner tendrils, those horsehair worm looking ones, they reach out to you
in a flurry.

617
00:34:42,774 --> 00:34:49,460
And they don't rip or tear the way they did back in the San Juans.

618
00:34:49,460 --> 00:34:59,788
Instead they just sort of press on your skin before just sort of slipping through, sliding
under your skin.

619
00:34:59,788 --> 00:35:03,231
And it's a familiar sensation.

620
00:35:03,231 --> 00:35:11,490
It's very familiar, and as this bitter taste floods your mouth, it brings back memories of

621
00:35:11,490 --> 00:35:17,955
Yeah, of of of like back in fourth grade when on the playground.

622
00:35:17,955 --> 00:35:19,495
Mother Hydra, yeah.

623
00:35:19,495 --> 00:35:29,943
You remember just like you did back then the sensation of feelers sliding under your skin
and they whisper just like they're whispering now.

624
00:35:29,983 --> 00:35:32,005
could you both give me power checks?

625
00:35:32,005 --> 00:35:33,890
Not opposed, just power checks.

626
00:35:33,890 --> 00:35:34,475
Sure.

627
00:35:34,475 --> 00:35:36,086
Magpie you can go first.

628
00:35:36,086 --> 00:35:36,806
I

629
00:35:37,920 --> 00:35:40,076
Well out to sixty-seven and

630
00:35:40,076 --> 00:35:42,006
Sixty eight over under seventy.

631
00:35:42,006 --> 00:35:42,707
Nice.

632
00:35:42,707 --> 00:35:46,689
Magpie, you're gonna lose one D eight willpower.

633
00:35:46,689 --> 00:35:55,495
Oh, Miles, you are at a minus twenty to all rolls for your emotional breakdown.

634
00:35:56,836 --> 00:35:59,778
Yeah, but also you're out of willpower, so it really doesn't matter.

635
00:35:59,778 --> 00:36:00,341
Yeah.

636
00:36:00,341 --> 00:36:01,545
I'm I'm all in still.

637
00:36:01,545 --> 00:36:02,178
Huh.

638
00:36:02,178 --> 00:36:07,896
Yeah right, um yeah she crushed five of my remaining seven so I'm sitting at a sturdy two.

639
00:36:07,896 --> 00:36:09,848
Doesn't something happen to you at two?

640
00:36:09,848 --> 00:36:13,398
Pass a con to not pass out, I think, right?

641
00:36:13,398 --> 00:36:15,426
Isn't that constitution?

642
00:36:15,426 --> 00:36:17,080
That is health.

643
00:36:17,080 --> 00:36:17,973
He said willpower.

644
00:36:17,973 --> 00:36:20,643
I thought something will power.

645
00:36:20,643 --> 00:36:21,506
Maybe not.

646
00:36:21,506 --> 00:36:22,644
I don't know what it is.

647
00:36:22,644 --> 00:36:28,822
An agent whose willpower hits one or two has an emotional breakdown, the agent's up yeah,
w kinda what we were doing already.

648
00:36:28,822 --> 00:36:29,463
Okay.

649
00:36:29,463 --> 00:36:32,790
Well, welcome to minus twenty across the board.

650
00:36:32,790 --> 00:36:35,134
It is Anthony Hayden's turn.

651
00:36:35,134 --> 00:36:38,600
He covers his face with his hands.

652
00:36:38,600 --> 00:36:39,926
Miles, you're up.

653
00:36:39,926 --> 00:36:49,655
Miles is continuing to go through these memories and now that the Hydra is giving me
memories, it's getting all jumbled and mixed up in my head.

654
00:36:49,655 --> 00:36:54,529
And I still feel this like fighting urge to destroy it as it comes up.

655
00:36:54,529 --> 00:37:03,372
So I'm destroying like the memories as she's trying to implant them in me, but I'm also in
Anthony Hayden trying to wreck house.

656
00:37:03,372 --> 00:37:04,486
Yeah, absolutely.

657
00:37:04,486 --> 00:37:06,933
Um, make that ritual check again.

658
00:37:06,933 --> 00:37:08,920
Roll a sand and fail it.

659
00:37:08,920 --> 00:37:10,683
Thirty seven over thirty two.

660
00:37:11,218 --> 00:37:12,859
Alright, yeah.

661
00:37:12,859 --> 00:37:16,480
You maintain your connection.

662
00:37:16,480 --> 00:37:18,380
Lose one more point of sand.

663
00:37:18,380 --> 00:37:23,241
I'm gonna you're not spending willpower yet, I believe you know what?

664
00:37:23,241 --> 00:37:29,363
Actually, y I don't think you blow through all your willpower in one go.

665
00:37:29,363 --> 00:37:32,384
I think let's see, you started with six.

666
00:37:32,384 --> 00:37:34,184
Can you roll a D eight for me?

667
00:37:35,745 --> 00:37:36,625
Okay.

668
00:37:36,625 --> 00:37:39,744
That last little bit.

669
00:37:39,744 --> 00:37:43,456
contact with Mother Hydra would bring you to zero.

670
00:37:43,456 --> 00:37:52,140
In order to continue performing this ritual, you must now spend permanent willpower at a
rate of one to ten.

671
00:37:52,140 --> 00:37:57,702
So you're you'll be okay each turn if you spend a full willpower.

672
00:37:57,704 --> 00:38:01,283
Okay, I will spend that full willpower now then.

673
00:38:02,729 --> 00:38:05,698
And am I still in this mine palace with Anthony?

674
00:38:05,698 --> 00:38:06,958
You are.

675
00:38:06,958 --> 00:38:16,741
You stand at age 19 at your mother's funeral in 2015, standing over her open casket.

676
00:38:16,741 --> 00:38:22,538
Uh Mother Hydra crawls out from her mouth, and you want to cry.

677
00:38:22,538 --> 00:38:26,765
Uh, relieved that only one mother is dead.

678
00:38:26,765 --> 00:38:31,842
You, age 24, are at your apartment in 2020.

679
00:38:31,842 --> 00:38:38,185
You're deciding to sign up for Pujari Arav's spiritual enlightenment course this summer.

680
00:38:38,185 --> 00:38:47,610
Uh Mother Hydra is lurking behind his online picture, whispering that only she can bring
you peace.

681
00:38:47,610 --> 00:38:54,133
You reach out to these memories and you crush them like a dust between your fingers.

682
00:38:54,133 --> 00:38:56,204
You are all powerful.

683
00:38:56,204 --> 00:38:56,855
Yeah.

684
00:38:56,855 --> 00:39:08,971
Miles would do just that and he would imagine it like using his father's old dock knife
just slashing through and just wriggling around like you would just cut something out of

685
00:39:08,971 --> 00:39:11,153
like a the center of something.

686
00:39:11,170 --> 00:39:11,713
Hm.

687
00:39:11,713 --> 00:39:12,477
Okay.

688
00:39:12,477 --> 00:39:14,002
Magpie, you're up.

689
00:39:14,470 --> 00:39:15,231
Yeah.

690
00:39:15,231 --> 00:39:16,592
Okay.

691
00:39:16,592 --> 00:39:20,435
Um Hayden and the Hydra directly above me, yeah?

692
00:39:20,435 --> 00:39:22,176
Or directly above the canister.

693
00:39:22,176 --> 00:39:23,237
Mm-hmm.

694
00:39:23,237 --> 00:39:30,743
Um I will take my rather large sidearm from my holster.

695
00:39:30,743 --> 00:39:35,727
I will level it two inches uh from the top of that canister and I will fight.

696
00:39:35,727 --> 00:39:38,771
Okie doke, I'm gonna say you don't have to roll for that.

697
00:39:39,454 --> 00:39:45,103
you are going to take a d10 of damage for blowing up a canister at close range.

698
00:39:45,625 --> 00:39:46,345
Yeah, what's up?

699
00:39:46,345 --> 00:39:49,870
Phosgene is neither flammable nor classified as an explosive.

700
00:39:49,870 --> 00:39:50,838
Correct.

701
00:39:50,838 --> 00:39:52,910
It is pressurized.

702
00:39:52,910 --> 00:39:53,708
Sleep but yeah.

703
00:39:53,708 --> 00:39:54,162
Yeah.

704
00:39:54,162 --> 00:39:56,044
Damn it.

705
00:39:56,044 --> 00:39:56,835
Yeah.

706
00:39:57,953 --> 00:39:58,333
Yeah.

707
00:39:58,333 --> 00:40:01,040
No no I know I n I understand that.

708
00:40:01,040 --> 00:40:05,730
I I we became victims to the slow release before.

709
00:40:05,730 --> 00:40:07,576
Um and I'm trying something different.

710
00:40:07,576 --> 00:40:08,066
Yep.

711
00:40:08,066 --> 00:40:09,647
Yeah, absolutely.

712
00:40:09,828 --> 00:40:15,012
Hydra is going to take an additional two D ten of damage for this.

713
00:40:15,012 --> 00:40:16,083
I'll roll that here.

714
00:40:16,083 --> 00:40:17,314
Okay.

715
00:40:17,314 --> 00:40:17,994
Okay.

716
00:40:17,994 --> 00:40:19,195
How are you doing?

717
00:40:19,195 --> 00:40:23,404
Only Alright, you're still up?

718
00:40:23,404 --> 00:40:23,954
Yeah.

719
00:40:23,954 --> 00:40:30,719
I mean I think there is a you know uh a squaring uh of of face away from the target.

720
00:40:30,719 --> 00:40:38,884
Um there is a a blasting where shrapnel kind of relieves my trigger hand of most of its
glove and outside flesh.

721
00:40:38,884 --> 00:40:42,826
Um and that begins to summarily melt.

722
00:40:42,847 --> 00:40:47,862
my ability to hold that gun is desperately compromised, but it doesn't much matter right
now.

723
00:40:47,862 --> 00:40:48,423
Yeah.

724
00:40:48,423 --> 00:41:02,821
Yeah, I think you you find that it is the shrapnel and the deep below freezing cold of a
liquid gas shredding your flesh that is highly impairing your ability to move.

725
00:41:02,821 --> 00:41:04,374
Morrison, what are you doing?

726
00:41:04,374 --> 00:41:11,072
So I imagine I'm still standing there, gas mask on, little wispy tendril boys scootin' up
under the edges.

727
00:41:11,072 --> 00:41:12,003
Mm-hmm.

728
00:41:12,003 --> 00:41:16,368
There's still a can canister of phosgene gas nearby.

729
00:41:16,368 --> 00:41:21,516
What are the odds that I can like feel where that's at and get a hand on it?

730
00:41:21,516 --> 00:41:23,993
Me alertness with a minus?

731
00:41:23,993 --> 00:41:24,483
I don't know.

732
00:41:24,483 --> 00:41:25,316
What do you think?

733
00:41:25,316 --> 00:41:25,747
20?

734
00:41:25,747 --> 00:41:26,318
40?

735
00:41:26,318 --> 00:41:27,760
It's a big minus.

736
00:41:27,943 --> 00:41:29,705
Let's find out if it matters.

737
00:41:29,715 --> 00:41:30,526
How about this?

738
00:41:30,526 --> 00:41:35,224
This is really complicated and you can say no, but I have fifty

739
00:41:35,224 --> 00:41:37,014
We can do complicated.

740
00:41:37,686 --> 00:41:40,380
I roll a navigate for spatial awareness.

741
00:41:40,380 --> 00:41:40,951
Okay.

742
00:41:40,951 --> 00:41:43,474
And if I pass, it's a minus twenty.

743
00:41:43,474 --> 00:41:46,118
And if I fail, it's a minus forty on alertness.

744
00:41:46,118 --> 00:41:47,249
Is that too complicated?

745
00:41:47,249 --> 00:41:48,962
Okay.

746
00:41:48,962 --> 00:41:49,962
Alright.

747
00:41:50,103 --> 00:41:51,185
that fuck.

748
00:41:51,185 --> 00:41:53,007
That's an eleven on navigate.

749
00:41:53,007 --> 00:41:55,510
Can I just echo locate this thing?

750
00:41:55,571 --> 00:41:56,552
Sure.

751
00:41:58,482 --> 00:41:59,143
Why not?

752
00:41:59,143 --> 00:42:01,447
I'll I'll roll the alertness if you want.

753
00:42:01,447 --> 00:42:02,171
No, you're good.

754
00:42:02,171 --> 00:42:04,908
We can say that was your alertness at minus forty.

755
00:42:04,908 --> 00:42:05,279
Okay.

756
00:42:05,279 --> 00:42:06,002
Oh yeah.

757
00:42:06,002 --> 00:42:06,283
Yeah.

758
00:42:06,283 --> 00:42:06,815
Good point.

759
00:42:06,815 --> 00:42:07,326
Good point.

760
00:42:07,326 --> 00:42:09,347
I was really excited about the navigate

761
00:42:09,347 --> 00:42:11,758
got so excited about the navigator.

762
00:42:13,102 --> 00:42:20,125
So what I want to do is essentially these things are like crawling up on my face and into
my mask.

763
00:42:20,125 --> 00:42:22,995
I want to reach down, turn the nozzle on the thing.

764
00:42:22,995 --> 00:42:23,804
Mm-hmm.

765
00:42:23,804 --> 00:42:27,647
This is a really bad idea, but it it's cool, so I'm gonna do it.

766
00:42:27,647 --> 00:42:38,010
Pull the mask a little bit away, take a big deep breath, shove the nozzle under the mask
to just like pump the mask full of gas to kill these things, and then like

767
00:42:39,200 --> 00:42:45,973
Man, I'm what I'm thinking is of like how scuba divers like purge their masks, so
basically kill off all the tendrils on my face.

768
00:42:45,973 --> 00:42:47,162
I don't know what this is gonna do.

769
00:42:47,162 --> 00:42:52,935
You tell me what the consequences are, or I can just do it and you can still tell me what
the consequences are.

770
00:42:53,936 --> 00:42:59,098
Okay, I just do it, because again, I'm like pissed and angry and I'm in a bout of madness.

771
00:42:59,098 --> 00:43:07,081
So if I come away looking like the main scientist guy from Event Horizon, whatever, that's
fine.

772
00:43:07,922 --> 00:43:09,152
It's really good.

773
00:43:09,319 --> 00:43:21,861
you be so kind as to take a straight D10 of damage as the phosgene gas first dries out the
flesh of your face and then begins to bind with your skin cells?

774
00:43:22,744 --> 00:43:23,415
Four.

775
00:43:23,415 --> 00:43:25,566
Which four concentrated on your face.

776
00:43:25,566 --> 00:43:32,903
Gonna come away looking like hamburger, but I don't have a wife to look pretty f They
really hurt.

777
00:43:32,903 --> 00:43:35,765
Where we're going we don't need eyes, I guess.

778
00:43:35,765 --> 00:43:36,686
So

779
00:43:36,832 --> 00:43:37,463
Alright.

780
00:43:37,463 --> 00:43:41,369
But I'll tell you what, you are loose of the tendrils.

781
00:43:41,491 --> 00:43:44,476
Which I gotta tell ya is pretty great.

782
00:43:44,476 --> 00:43:45,632
Mo, you're up.

783
00:43:45,632 --> 00:43:46,683
Okay.

784
00:43:46,683 --> 00:43:50,807
So we've got Miles prostrate on the ground.

785
00:43:50,807 --> 00:43:52,930
We've got Morrison.

786
00:43:52,930 --> 00:43:58,114
I just am watching him shove the gas up into his mask and gas himself.

787
00:43:59,076 --> 00:44:04,834
And Magpie has just exploded two of three underneath the thing, right?

788
00:44:04,834 --> 00:44:06,002
That is correct.

789
00:44:06,002 --> 00:44:06,936
How?

790
00:44:06,936 --> 00:44:09,466
Far, and I need this in inches.

791
00:44:09,466 --> 00:44:18,634
Uh you know how far is the uh where the gas canister that Morrison is spraying up into his
face currently from um Hayden?

792
00:44:18,634 --> 00:44:22,416
Generally, you know what I mean?

793
00:44:22,416 --> 00:44:23,757
That's like ten feet.

794
00:44:23,757 --> 00:44:24,858
Thank you.

795
00:44:25,318 --> 00:44:30,446
now I need to convert that to yards so I can think about how far a putt would be

796
00:44:30,446 --> 00:44:34,070
It's about one and a quarter yards, so a pretty easy putt.

797
00:44:34,070 --> 00:44:35,610
Okay, it's an easy putt.

798
00:44:36,331 --> 00:44:38,512
All my distances are in golf.

799
00:44:39,013 --> 00:44:42,474
It's just a quirky little thing I golf?

800
00:44:42,484 --> 00:44:44,315
yeah, I used to play a lot of golf.

801
00:44:45,636 --> 00:44:47,797
It would be much better if I said no to that question.

802
00:44:47,797 --> 00:44:48,998
Actually, let's rewind that.

803
00:44:48,998 --> 00:44:49,778
No.

804
00:44:50,134 --> 00:44:51,086
Used to.

805
00:44:51,086 --> 00:44:55,146
I'm still confused as to whether this is your actual answer or Mole's answer.

806
00:44:55,146 --> 00:44:58,464
I frankly I don't want to know.

807
00:44:58,558 --> 00:45:01,545
Ugh, I it poor Kaws.

808
00:45:02,983 --> 00:45:03,796
Yeah.

809
00:45:03,796 --> 00:45:07,479
Uh a yard and a bit.

810
00:45:07,479 --> 00:45:08,362
That's an easy putt.

811
00:45:08,362 --> 00:45:09,482
I can do this.

812
00:45:09,482 --> 00:45:10,342
Easy putt, ha.

813
00:45:10,342 --> 00:45:11,765
Easy, easy putt.

814
00:45:11,765 --> 00:45:13,667
I think as he's looking at the distances.

815
00:45:13,667 --> 00:45:16,750
Then I think he wants to sorry Morrison.

816
00:45:16,750 --> 00:45:21,516
I think he saw the canister explode and he was like, I gotta fucking do that too.

817
00:45:21,516 --> 00:45:27,788
So if he's close enough, I'd like to just like fire my pistol at the canister.

818
00:45:27,788 --> 00:45:29,054
Yes, absolutely.

819
00:45:29,054 --> 00:45:31,513
Is this the one right by Morrison's face?

820
00:45:31,552 --> 00:45:39,320
So hold up, to be clear, Sam, were you asking how close is the canister by Morrison or how
close is the canister by Magpie?

821
00:45:39,320 --> 00:45:43,177
But I wanna know how close it is to Hayden because I wanna know

822
00:45:43,323 --> 00:45:47,624
How close the canister that Morrison just used is to Hayden.

823
00:45:47,832 --> 00:45:50,063
So here, hang on one second.

824
00:45:50,063 --> 00:45:59,327
There is one canister smashed and bent and nearly empty that was dropped on a tendril and
thrown back into the elevator.

825
00:45:59,327 --> 00:46:07,830
There is one canister that is under Hayden, detonated, with Magpie clutching his hand a
few feet away.

826
00:46:07,830 --> 00:46:16,154
There is one canister standing up still, I believe, with Morrison's face right by the
nozzle.

827
00:46:16,154 --> 00:46:17,706
Is that the one you want?

828
00:46:17,706 --> 00:46:22,088
It is the one that Mole wants, 'cause Mole wants to release this shit out.

829
00:46:22,088 --> 00:46:31,091
But if it's not gonna be underneath or close enough to Hayden that he thinks it's gonna
do, or to Anthony that's gonna do, you know, the same kind of damage he saw from Magpie,

830
00:46:31,091 --> 00:46:36,853
then I think he'd be more wanting to try to maneuver it away from Morrison to get it
close.

831
00:46:36,853 --> 00:46:40,760
But if it's close enough to do damage, he would just wanna fucking shoot it, quite
honestly.

832
00:46:40,760 --> 00:46:41,770
What's your demolitions?

833
00:46:41,770 --> 00:46:43,330
How's your estimating?

834
00:46:43,330 --> 00:46:45,278
Demolitions is a zero.

835
00:46:45,278 --> 00:46:46,912
Which is pretty good.

836
00:46:46,912 --> 00:46:49,783
No, you actually did just watch someone blow up one of these.

837
00:46:49,783 --> 00:46:59,714
I think you actually do have a pretty good idea of what the what the what the radius I
think you could probably do a little more damage if you scooted it closer first.

838
00:46:59,714 --> 00:47:07,269
Yep, I think if he got the sense that it it would do more damage to this thing, to this
deceiver worm, then he's going to try to do that.

839
00:47:07,269 --> 00:47:12,222
Fuck how is Yeah, very, very poorly.

840
00:47:12,222 --> 00:47:25,206
Um if I see you trying to negotiate your way uh around this other canister, you can count
on me to be your muscle next time if you wanted to be the trigger man if it gets a b

841
00:47:25,206 --> 00:47:26,318
Okay, that sounds good.

842
00:47:26,318 --> 00:47:28,632
Cause I think that that's what Mole is kinda yes.

843
00:47:28,632 --> 00:47:35,278
So Mole I think is going to try and if he can't, he's gonna rely on magpie catching on, so

844
00:47:35,278 --> 00:47:36,360
How about this?

845
00:47:36,360 --> 00:47:44,054
Would you like to take the aim action at the position that you are hoping that Magpie will
put this?

846
00:47:44,054 --> 00:47:44,474
Yeah.

847
00:47:44,474 --> 00:47:47,176
And I've got a little laser target site too.

848
00:47:47,176 --> 00:47:50,067
So I think uh on my pistol, um that I wrote.

849
00:47:50,067 --> 00:48:00,482
So I think that you hear him be like, Magpie, uh over here and he like points at the like
points the laser at a point kind of like trying to guide a cat.

850
00:48:00,514 --> 00:48:04,322
Do you try to manhandle the cylinder first and then say, Magpie?

851
00:48:04,322 --> 00:48:05,563
Yeah, how about I try?

852
00:48:05,563 --> 00:48:08,187
Because I'm gonna fucking fail, because I'm weak as shit.

853
00:48:08,187 --> 00:48:10,228
And then then yeah.

854
00:48:11,050 --> 00:48:18,178
Holy shit, a thirty on a forty of my str a 30 on a forty for strength and a thirty on a
thirty for athletics.

855
00:48:18,190 --> 00:48:21,506
Yeah, I I think you actually can just put it there.

856
00:48:21,506 --> 00:48:22,626
Fuck yeah.

857
00:48:22,756 --> 00:48:27,848
yeah, think we see Mole, wiry guy, but he's like five ten, five eleven.

858
00:48:27,848 --> 00:48:32,049
Actually I think so more it's stuck under Morrison's mask, is that right?

859
00:48:32,049 --> 00:48:35,720
I think he's just like, Morrison, you know not what you do.

860
00:48:35,720 --> 00:48:45,323
And then he grabs it and tries to pull it away and can't really get it and like kicks it
up for a second and then finally just like shoulders down and butts into it as hard as he

861
00:48:45,323 --> 00:48:47,158
can to try to get it to push towards

862
00:48:47,158 --> 00:48:47,840
Yeah.

863
00:48:47,840 --> 00:48:58,754
You you wind up rolling it most of the way there, but you do have it uh a little less
dignified, uh, under Hayden's dangling body.

864
00:48:58,754 --> 00:49:06,760
I think in that case then, he then shouts out, Magpie, if you got the shot, take it He
doesn't give a shit.

865
00:49:06,760 --> 00:49:07,701
Alright.

866
00:49:07,703 --> 00:49:09,209
Isles, it's your turn.

867
00:49:09,209 --> 00:49:10,594
I'm I I'm the sun.

868
00:49:10,594 --> 00:49:15,319
Okay, maintaining focus on trying to complete this.

869
00:49:15,319 --> 00:49:16,610
Rolling sand.

870
00:49:16,610 --> 00:49:19,156
Fail the sand check, spend a power.

871
00:49:22,128 --> 00:49:23,069
It is.

872
00:49:23,100 --> 00:49:27,264
down to 12 power and anything else you need for

873
00:49:27,264 --> 00:49:28,735
No, yeah.

874
00:49:28,735 --> 00:49:45,683
You're you watch as your consciousness projects itself further away from your own body,
deeper and deeper into Hydra's native dimension at the 2020 retreat.

875
00:49:45,683 --> 00:49:53,046
You see the heart of Mother Hydra, a writhing Gordian knot of

876
00:49:53,132 --> 00:49:58,687
Limbs and mouths desperate to feed and spread.

877
00:49:58,687 --> 00:50:06,213
One maw limb reaches down and attempts to enter your mind.

878
00:50:06,264 --> 00:50:07,024
make a sand check.

879
00:50:07,024 --> 00:50:12,679
Okay, it's a d6 sin from unnatural.

880
00:50:12,679 --> 00:50:15,382
As you okay.

881
00:50:15,382 --> 00:50:20,716
As you grasp this final memory and crush it.

882
00:50:20,770 --> 00:50:32,955
Yeah, again he just is projecting that dock knife, sliding into this mass of like a ball
of snakes basically and just starts like slashing it up and down every which way he can,

883
00:50:32,955 --> 00:50:43,800
screaming in rage and just like he imagines like refuse and if this thing bleeds like the
blood just like flying in the air and covering him and even just trying to dig into it

884
00:50:43,800 --> 00:50:48,322
himself and just tear it apart with his nails after a while.

885
00:50:48,322 --> 00:51:00,246
Yeah, the limbs of Hydra furthest from Haydn begin to burn like film, a bright phosphorus
fire.

886
00:51:00,310 --> 00:51:03,346
Does that consume the phosphine in the air so it's safe now?

887
00:51:03,346 --> 00:51:07,118
Or Um, is that that's my whole turn?

888
00:51:07,118 --> 00:51:09,299
That is your whole turn.

889
00:51:09,299 --> 00:51:14,641
You have dealt a lethal blow, you think.

890
00:51:14,641 --> 00:51:16,602
Next is Mull.

891
00:51:16,602 --> 00:51:17,222
Yep.

892
00:51:17,222 --> 00:51:25,505
But first you have to survive any sort of death throws as Hydra makes her exit.

893
00:51:25,505 --> 00:51:27,640
Magpie, it is gonna be your turn.

894
00:51:27,640 --> 00:51:34,447
Do I have the same perception as Miles that this is now a a done deed?

895
00:51:34,447 --> 00:51:36,030
Or do I pr still

896
00:51:36,895 --> 00:51:46,365
I think it's much less obvious to you, although the edges of the space you're in suddenly
light up with brilliant fire.

897
00:51:46,365 --> 00:51:48,067
So that's a thing that happens.

898
00:51:48,067 --> 00:51:51,566
You are not psychically connected to the thing that you are killing.

899
00:51:51,566 --> 00:51:53,576
Alright, well here's what I'm gonna say.

900
00:51:54,347 --> 00:52:02,779
I am going to make an alertness roll, and if I fail it, then the flash has distracted me
and I'm inclined to get out of here.

901
00:52:02,779 --> 00:52:06,330
Uh 76 means my attention is still on the canister.

902
00:52:06,330 --> 00:52:09,866
And with an 82, um, I'm looking elsewhere.

903
00:52:09,866 --> 00:52:20,952
I I think I my instinct is to uh simply move my hand over and fire at the the station that
that Mole has just set up.

904
00:52:20,952 --> 00:52:23,484
But my trigger finger simply does not work.

905
00:52:23,484 --> 00:52:27,969
It is slumped, it is lax, it is barely even a digit anymore.

906
00:52:27,969 --> 00:52:37,760
Um, and that's all the reminder that I need that I am still mortal and I am going to grab
Mole by the shoulder and try to haul him back to the elevator.

907
00:52:37,760 --> 00:52:39,095
Okay, sure.

908
00:52:39,095 --> 00:52:39,717
Yeah.

909
00:52:39,717 --> 00:52:41,620
Uh is Mul gonna fight back?

910
00:52:42,574 --> 00:52:43,767
Uh

911
00:52:43,768 --> 00:52:47,799
I think Mole may not fight back so much as just try to fire a shot off.

912
00:52:47,799 --> 00:52:51,700
Not at not at Magpie, at at everything going on there.

913
00:52:51,700 --> 00:52:52,191
Honestly.

914
00:52:52,191 --> 00:52:53,461
So I don't think he's gonna fight back.

915
00:52:53,461 --> 00:53:00,024
Yeah, I think he's gonna fire at I think his attention is completely on this thing right
now.

916
00:53:00,464 --> 00:53:01,194
let's see.

917
00:53:01,194 --> 00:53:03,225
You think a seventy-eight passes?

918
00:53:03,665 --> 00:53:06,206
No, it does not on a forty.

919
00:53:07,278 --> 00:53:08,023
Okay.

920
00:53:08,023 --> 00:53:08,662
Morrison, what's up?

921
00:53:08,662 --> 00:53:09,740
What are you doing?

922
00:53:09,740 --> 00:53:18,800
So like I say, had the thing under my mask, mole pulls it away, and like I say, I took a
big deep breath with the intent that like after I felt the tendrils recede, I would like

923
00:53:18,800 --> 00:53:21,363
exhale and purge it like a scuba diver.

924
00:53:21,363 --> 00:53:22,904
Can I see anything?

925
00:53:22,904 --> 00:53:24,605
Do I still have eyes?

926
00:53:24,605 --> 00:53:26,326
you're in rough shape, my guy.

927
00:53:26,326 --> 00:53:27,210
Yeah.

928
00:53:28,472 --> 00:53:30,198
But I think you can still see.

929
00:53:30,198 --> 00:53:30,800
Okay.

930
00:53:30,800 --> 00:53:36,246
Maybe I can see like shapes, like rough outlines of like humanoid something.

931
00:53:36,246 --> 00:53:39,149
At the very least it'd be like getting tear gassed, right?

932
00:53:39,149 --> 00:53:41,973
Like everything is just running down the face.

933
00:53:41,973 --> 00:53:43,680
You get a glimpse of this and that.

934
00:53:43,680 --> 00:53:46,190
Including my face running down my face.

935
00:53:46,190 --> 00:53:47,959
Yeah, we don't think about what's running.

936
00:53:47,959 --> 00:53:49,090
Yeah yeah.

937
00:53:50,018 --> 00:53:53,325
Your face feels wet, what you can feel.

938
00:53:54,389 --> 00:53:55,232
Slippery.

939
00:53:55,232 --> 00:53:56,620
It's just slippery.

940
00:53:56,620 --> 00:54:01,506
The canister that I used to do this, was it in the elevator, next to the elevator?

941
00:54:01,506 --> 00:54:06,988
This one was in the elevator, but I believe Mull just hucked it out under.

942
00:54:07,747 --> 00:54:08,127
Okay.

943
00:54:08,127 --> 00:54:11,350
Well I I was using that as a reference point for where I am.

944
00:54:11,350 --> 00:54:19,498
So I mean I guess if I can follow Magpie's lead and do like an alertness to get a sense of
like what's happening or not.

945
00:54:19,566 --> 00:54:20,297
Sure.

946
00:54:20,297 --> 00:54:21,666
Take a minus forty.

947
00:54:21,666 --> 00:54:24,728
Yeah, 'cause I can't see uh fuck that's another

948
00:54:24,728 --> 00:54:25,720
Navigate.

949
00:54:25,720 --> 00:54:26,131
Okay.

950
00:54:26,131 --> 00:54:28,456
What do you yeah, you you do see what's up.

951
00:54:28,456 --> 00:54:29,890
What do you wanna do?

952
00:54:29,890 --> 00:54:32,231
So I guess I get the sense that this thing is dying.

953
00:54:32,231 --> 00:54:36,054
I see Magpie drawing to drag Mull back.

954
00:54:36,054 --> 00:54:46,001
And I guess just with my history as like search and rescue, like you know, once people are
secure, you want to exit the dangerous situation as quickly as possible.

955
00:54:46,001 --> 00:54:57,519
I probably am like hitting a button on the elevator door, like to go up, but also like
then like holding the door back with my hand and I'm like, Yeah, let's go, let's go, let's

956
00:54:57,519 --> 00:54:58,059
go, let's go.

957
00:54:58,059 --> 00:54:59,064
And that's

958
00:54:59,064 --> 00:55:00,197
probably what I do.

959
00:55:00,197 --> 00:55:06,249
So that it's like I don't know, an a like aimed elevator shot, if that can be a thing.

960
00:55:06,420 --> 00:55:07,080
You don't have to.

961
00:55:07,080 --> 00:55:09,571
Okay This is ready to go.

962
00:55:10,172 --> 00:55:16,055
It is Hydra's last turn, and she is going to go for a grab on each of you.

963
00:55:16,055 --> 00:55:19,597
You do not want this to happen, I don't think.

964
00:55:19,897 --> 00:55:27,241
So Morrison does a yes, a fifty-four will hit.

965
00:55:27,241 --> 00:55:29,070
Would you like to dodge?

966
00:55:29,070 --> 00:55:33,186
I mean I I can't successfully 'cause I have to if I crit

967
00:55:33,186 --> 00:55:35,577
Eleven or a twenty two will succeed.

968
00:55:35,670 --> 00:55:36,788
One in there too.

969
00:55:37,117 --> 00:55:38,439
so no.

970
00:55:39,434 --> 00:55:40,349
Yeah.

971
00:55:40,349 --> 00:55:41,573
Magpie.

972
00:55:41,573 --> 00:55:44,664
A fifty-five is a crit success on you.

973
00:55:44,664 --> 00:55:46,738
Okay, well my dodge is a fifty.

974
00:55:46,738 --> 00:55:50,550
Um does my crit success negate its crit success?

975
00:55:50,550 --> 00:55:52,768
You will never be able to eat this.

976
00:55:52,768 --> 00:55:53,721
What about on a one?

977
00:55:53,721 --> 00:55:54,744
Would you give me that?

978
00:55:54,744 --> 00:55:56,307
Yeah.

979
00:55:56,510 --> 00:56:00,894
No, I got a ninety-nine, which you might believe is not good enough.

980
00:56:00,894 --> 00:56:03,101
Yeah, it's typical.

981
00:56:04,130 --> 00:56:06,914
This is how I get shit done.

982
00:56:06,914 --> 00:56:11,321
Magpie shoots his own kneecap off, so Mole laughs.

983
00:56:11,624 --> 00:56:14,976
A forty seven is good enough for the grab.

984
00:56:14,976 --> 00:56:18,120
Okay, I have a dodge of third no, f can I

985
00:56:18,200 --> 00:56:21,453
Can succeed on an eleven, a one or a twenty two.

986
00:56:22,215 --> 00:56:26,119
Miles, a thirty six, succeed.

987
00:56:26,119 --> 00:56:27,788
Would you like to dodge?

988
00:56:27,788 --> 00:56:28,320
Yep.

989
00:56:28,320 --> 00:56:30,205
Forty seven under fifty.

990
00:56:30,205 --> 00:56:31,439
What's you just what did you roll?

991
00:56:31,439 --> 00:56:33,383
Thirty seven.

992
00:56:33,383 --> 00:56:38,404
You succeed one of one person.

993
00:56:38,404 --> 00:56:44,546
Magpie, I'm afraid you are going to fail this next little bit.

994
00:56:44,546 --> 00:56:53,769
Uh Morrison and Moe, you are allowed to make a straight, unopposed Dex check.

995
00:56:54,890 --> 00:56:55,570
Yes.

996
00:56:55,570 --> 00:56:56,171
Whoo!

997
00:56:56,171 --> 00:56:59,277
That's seventy four on a seventy five.

998
00:56:59,277 --> 00:57:00,013
Shit.

999
00:57:00,013 --> 00:57:02,699
Uh seventy on a six.

1000
00:57:02,871 --> 00:57:09,018
Mull and Magpie, would you both please roll a fifteen percent lethality?

1001
00:57:10,020 --> 00:57:14,336
That's, I believe, enough to kill both of you, is that correct?

1002
00:57:14,336 --> 00:57:15,542
Yeah, for sure.

1003
00:57:15,542 --> 00:57:16,627
Yeah.

1004
00:57:16,704 --> 00:57:21,297
Unfortunately, this doesn't actually kill you.

1005
00:57:21,297 --> 00:57:41,691
As the tendrils recede, whipping back into Hayden's skull and body, with them, they drag
Magpie and Moe both through Anthony Hayden's head, skull and flesh, distending horribly.

1006
00:57:41,691 --> 00:57:46,402
Magpie and Moe, you are somewhere hot and wet.

1007
00:57:46,402 --> 00:57:51,544
Like mud heated up to bathwater temperatures.

1008
00:57:51,544 --> 00:58:07,251
You're dragged through the viscous substance, and you breach the surface somewhere with an
enormous red star dominating the horizon, somewhere airless, somewhere with a negative

1009
00:58:07,251 --> 00:58:08,211
pressure.

1010
00:58:08,211 --> 00:58:15,406
The last thing you see before your eyes burst is the enormous bulk.

1011
00:58:15,406 --> 00:58:22,024
of the heart of Mother Hydra spreading across the surface of this lake of mud.

1012
00:58:22,030 --> 00:58:25,133
Can I get last thoughts from them as they see this?

1013
00:58:26,016 --> 00:58:33,767
Yeah, I think Mole's very last thought as he sees that is he's like, oh fuck, I wasn't the
worm.

1014
00:58:33,767 --> 00:58:36,428
And then eyes explode and he dies.

1015
00:58:36,428 --> 00:58:40,264
Magpie has the exact opposite reaction.

1016
00:58:40,264 --> 00:58:47,944
He sits there on his knees, um, crying what's very soon to be his eye juices, but he says,
he was right.

1017
00:58:49,218 --> 00:58:49,679
That's great.

1018
00:58:49,679 --> 00:58:50,480
Fuck yeah.

1019
00:58:50,480 --> 00:58:54,477
Uh Morrison and Miles, you've survived.

1020
00:58:54,477 --> 00:58:57,392
That is gonna be a sand check for that.

1021
00:58:57,392 --> 00:58:58,830
But you survived.

1022
00:58:58,830 --> 00:58:59,631
Sure.

1023
00:59:01,250 --> 00:59:03,892
Sixteen under twenty eight.

1024
00:59:03,892 --> 00:59:05,835
Fifty one on a new fifty two.

1025
00:59:05,835 --> 00:59:06,696
Damn.

1026
00:59:06,696 --> 00:59:19,419
So you both take one for that, even though the two of you have yeah, destroyed Mother
Hydra using the obscure memory ritual.

1027
00:59:19,419 --> 00:59:23,963
Please get back a D twelve of sanity.

1028
00:59:23,963 --> 00:59:24,524
Nice.

1029
00:59:24,524 --> 00:59:25,725
For what it's worth.

1030
00:59:25,725 --> 00:59:26,345
Eight.

1031
00:59:26,345 --> 00:59:27,146
Nice.

1032
00:59:27,146 --> 00:59:27,847
Seven.

1033
00:59:27,847 --> 00:59:28,988
Very nice.

1034
00:59:28,988 --> 00:59:31,414
And you both still have gas masks, right?

1035
00:59:31,414 --> 00:59:31,941
Yep.

1036
00:59:31,941 --> 00:59:33,126
Thank you, Maul.

1037
00:59:33,300 --> 00:59:35,855
Ha ha ha.

1038
00:59:35,855 --> 00:59:42,520
Does Morrison just sort of let the door shut and you both ride the elevator up in silence?

1039
00:59:42,520 --> 00:59:48,108
Man, I don't know what else I can do at this I guess I'm not in my bout of like aggression
anymore.

1040
00:59:48,108 --> 00:59:49,378
That is true.

1041
00:59:49,378 --> 00:59:55,325
I think Miles would still be in this break, right, twenty sand loss earlier.

1042
00:59:55,325 --> 01:00:03,674
And I think he would just grab Morrison's legs and just squeeze them as tight as he can
and start sobbing into his body.

1043
01:00:03,674 --> 01:00:11,852
Like just like sitting there he and just like pulling on him like to get down closer to
him as he's just like

1044
01:00:11,886 --> 01:00:13,027
Broken by this.

1045
01:00:16,750 --> 01:00:18,040
How heaviest Miles?

1046
01:00:18,040 --> 01:00:18,967
Pretty huge.

1047
01:00:18,967 --> 01:00:20,170
He's a big guy.

1048
01:00:20,170 --> 01:00:23,470
Well, he's not tall, but he's muscular, so

1049
01:00:23,470 --> 01:00:23,747
Okay.

1050
01:00:23,747 --> 01:00:24,658
All right.

1051
01:00:24,824 --> 01:00:38,246
As the doors shut, you do watch the body of Anthony Hayden drop to the floor and sort of
push up onto hands and knees, retching, and the doors to the elevator close.

1052
01:00:38,286 --> 01:00:41,568
This is all you, Morrison, I'm gonna just be here crying.

1053
01:00:41,568 --> 01:00:46,090
I think Miles is for all intents and purposes unconscious at zero willpower.

1054
01:00:46,090 --> 01:00:49,114
And then like you're looking to be consoled, right?

1055
01:00:49,114 --> 01:00:57,005
And you look up to the face of the man what you're clinging on to, and it's just dripping
down on you, right?

1056
01:00:57,005 --> 01:01:00,534
Reds and yellows and things that ought not be on faces.

1057
01:01:00,534 --> 01:01:01,075
Yeah.

1058
01:01:01,075 --> 01:01:01,796
Yeah.

1059
01:01:01,796 --> 01:01:05,359
So I will say I think like I say, I purge my gas mask.

1060
01:01:05,359 --> 01:01:19,062
I think you see like the gas mask face, but like blood and viscera and like melted fat,
like that kind of yellowy cirrus fluid like dripping out of the bottom.

1061
01:01:19,062 --> 01:01:21,870
There's a little spurt of it through the vent out front.

1062
01:01:21,870 --> 01:01:22,490
Yeah.

1063
01:01:22,490 --> 01:01:23,170
Yeah.

1064
01:01:23,170 --> 01:01:29,172
And then I guess I probably that gunk is like clogging up the the actual functions of the
thing.

1065
01:01:29,172 --> 01:01:34,994
So after the door closes, I'm torn between do we need to make sure Anthony's actually done
for?

1066
01:01:34,994 --> 01:01:39,352
And I think ultimately as I'm looking at Miles crying, I'm like, I'm done, man.

1067
01:01:39,352 --> 01:01:40,525
I I'm I'm done.

1068
01:01:40,525 --> 01:01:50,060
I'm like my rage is spent, and I pull off the gas mask, and then you kind of see the melty
face, and maybe I see you like as much as you can be kind of

1069
01:01:50,060 --> 01:01:52,730
like aghast in your tearful state.

1070
01:01:52,730 --> 01:02:00,999
I I recognize that and I just drop to my knees next to you and like just kind of take my
right hand, like around your head and like put it to my shoulder.

1071
01:02:00,999 --> 01:02:04,502
And then I just hug you and we're both kneeling on the floor and you're crying.

1072
01:02:04,502 --> 01:02:09,206
And I don't think I don't know if I'm even capable, like physiologically of crying at this
point.

1073
01:02:09,206 --> 01:02:14,730
But my face is I'm crying with my entire face as it just like sloughs off onto your shirt.

1074
01:02:14,894 --> 01:02:22,299
I think the elevator gets up to the first floor, gets back up to the ground floor, and the
doors open back up.

1075
01:02:22,299 --> 01:02:30,164
And it's early in the morning, it's like six AM, and it's bright out, and it's crisp and
it's cold.

1076
01:02:30,164 --> 01:02:43,553
And the camera just pulls back, and that's the shot of these two men weeping and bleeding
at the center of this freight elevator, unable to leave back into the air, can't even

1077
01:02:43,553 --> 01:02:44,526
stand up.

1078
01:02:44,526 --> 01:02:50,432
Can't gather themselves together, but they have completed their mission.

1079
01:02:52,206 --> 01:03:01,407
I was gonna say I think Morrison is uh practical enough that he like if there's a piece of
debris that he can take and like shove into the gap in the elevator, 'cause he's like, I

1080
01:03:01,407 --> 01:03:08,546
don't wanna move, but I also don't want the doors to close Shoves a piece of shrapnel from
the tank that got busted into the door and then we just sit there and cry.

1081
01:03:08,546 --> 01:03:12,182
Maybe he grabs Miles' dock knife off his belt.

1082
01:03:12,182 --> 01:03:13,263
Yeah.

1083
01:03:13,304 --> 01:03:13,906
yeah.

1084
01:03:13,906 --> 01:03:14,868
That's what it is.

1085
01:03:14,868 --> 01:03:15,589
Yep.

1086
01:03:15,589 --> 01:03:21,642
Using that dock knife to anchor ourselves in space and time so we can hold on to this
moment for a bit longer.

1087
01:03:21,642 --> 01:03:24,300
Or so let it flow through us.

1088
01:03:24,300 --> 01:03:31,580
I think with that, that is the end of the third scenario of Demnatio Memoriae.

1089
01:03:31,580 --> 01:03:35,184
That scenario is called Home Sweet Home.

1090
01:03:35,224 --> 01:03:36,132
For sure.

1091
01:03:36,337 --> 01:03:37,545
I can see it.

1092
01:03:37,772 --> 01:03:38,292
Yeah.

1093
01:03:38,292 --> 01:03:39,187
Makes

1094
01:03:39,466 --> 01:03:48,210
I think without the influence of Mother Hydra in the world anymore, there aren't that many
changes that happen.

1095
01:03:48,210 --> 01:03:52,152
People the things that were forgotten stay forgotten.

1096
01:03:52,152 --> 01:03:54,983
They just don't keep getting forgotten.

1097
01:03:54,983 --> 01:04:01,475
If somebody digs up an article about Yarlai dying, they don't forget it again.

1098
01:04:01,475 --> 01:04:07,850
If somebody looks into the beheadings on San Juan Island, they're gonna go, why did this
get dropped?

1099
01:04:07,850 --> 01:04:09,652
Anthony Hayden's apartment.

1100
01:04:09,652 --> 01:04:14,876
It's the landlord finally realizes that he's not being paid and goes to investigate.

1101
01:04:14,876 --> 01:04:16,297
That sort of thing.

1102
01:04:16,297 --> 01:04:25,245
You the the two of you didn't really commit any serious crimes other than this gas attack
downtown.

1103
01:04:25,245 --> 01:04:35,333
And I think that with Agent Madison's assistance, perhaps there were only two, three
deaths, people who weren't able to get out in time.

1104
01:04:35,333 --> 01:04:36,866
Overall, I think.

1105
01:04:36,866 --> 01:04:46,746
This was a pretty successful mission, except for two of your friends being dragged kicking
through the maw of some kid.

1106
01:04:46,746 --> 01:04:47,181
Yeah.

1107
01:04:47,181 --> 01:04:54,943
Any any do you uh wanna tell me how your life changes after this?

1108
01:04:54,943 --> 01:04:57,605
Or is that too grim for Morrison?

1109
01:04:57,986 --> 01:04:59,226
I don't think so.

1110
01:04:59,226 --> 01:05:12,320
ah I mean again, like he I think I said this earlier, he's a guy who trying to like
control things and being like I don't know, he's a guy where like I think some people get

1111
01:05:12,320 --> 01:05:19,047
a sense of like this is my life and I'm gonna contain it and I'm in control of it and when
that breaks I lose myself.

1112
01:05:19,047 --> 01:05:20,989
I don't think he's one of those people.

1113
01:05:20,989 --> 01:05:22,702
I think he's a guy who's like

1114
01:05:22,702 --> 01:05:23,543
I was in the military.

1115
01:05:23,543 --> 01:05:25,746
I didn't really have a home for like a whole lot of years.

1116
01:05:25,746 --> 01:05:27,268
I doing this biathlon stuff.

1117
01:05:27,268 --> 01:05:28,666
I had to move where the training went.

1118
01:05:28,666 --> 01:05:29,952
I had to travel all the time.

1119
01:05:29,952 --> 01:05:32,265
People came in to out of my life as trainees.

1120
01:05:32,265 --> 01:05:36,341
And it's a big loss for him to lose his life or not his life, his wife.

1121
01:05:36,341 --> 01:05:37,512
But at the same time

1122
01:05:37,512 --> 01:05:39,170
IED now too.

1123
01:05:39,170 --> 01:05:39,751
Yeah, yeah.

1124
01:05:39,751 --> 01:05:42,734
I'm sure I'm like not mentally stable.

1125
01:05:42,734 --> 01:05:43,174
Yeah.

1126
01:05:43,174 --> 01:05:46,650
Uh yeah, I don't think he can coach anymore.

1127
01:05:46,650 --> 01:05:50,221
Um, because at the smallest mistake, he's like, What are you doing?

1128
01:05:50,221 --> 01:05:52,543
That's not how you reload your rifle.

1129
01:05:52,744 --> 01:05:54,924
This is not how you what's that?

1130
01:05:54,924 --> 01:05:57,149
And he's armed whenever he's mad.

1131
01:05:57,442 --> 01:06:00,863
He has access to guns, yes, firearms in general.

1132
01:06:00,863 --> 01:06:13,228
Um, yeah, I yeah, I guess I mean he's probably just a giant asshole to everyone in his
life now, but I think because him and Miles went through this and like survived it and

1133
01:06:13,228 --> 01:06:19,431
kind of had that moment at the end, l essentially he I don't know how Miles can respond to
this however he wants.

1134
01:06:19,431 --> 01:06:23,773
Uh Morrison definitely is not able to coach anymore.

1135
01:06:23,773 --> 01:06:27,264
He probably still does a whole lot of like

1136
01:06:27,382 --> 01:06:31,586
He just kind of goes back to like doing his training regimen all the time, taking care of
his guns.

1137
01:06:31,586 --> 01:06:36,922
But anytime he wants social connection, he tries to like contact Miles and his family.

1138
01:06:36,922 --> 01:06:40,113
I he I don't think he does any DG stuff anymore.

1139
01:06:40,113 --> 01:06:48,440
Probably he has enough like disfiguration to his face and dysfunction because of that that
like if you try to like walk up to somebody and interrogate them, they're gonna be like,

1140
01:06:48,440 --> 01:06:50,470
what the fuck is wrong with this guy's face?

1141
01:06:50,470 --> 01:06:51,031
Yeah.

1142
01:06:51,031 --> 01:07:01,538
I I think Morrison uh is quietly retired from Delta Green and is not, I think, um, too
broken up about not doing that again.

1143
01:07:01,734 --> 01:07:04,175
No, yeah, he he's not at all.

1144
01:07:04,175 --> 01:07:05,776
He's he's done at this point.

1145
01:07:05,776 --> 01:07:10,798
He wants to like go on his trails, do his skiing, do his shooting.

1146
01:07:10,798 --> 01:07:15,460
He definitely misses, you know, the the teaching aspect and the coaching aspect.

1147
01:07:15,460 --> 01:07:19,672
Um, but it's you know, he he he can't access that anymore.

1148
01:07:19,672 --> 01:07:25,225
So he yells at the people, the the cashiers in the grocery line a lot.

1149
01:07:26,045 --> 01:07:27,814
I know, he turns into a

1150
01:07:30,542 --> 01:07:31,770
About miles.

1151
01:07:31,770 --> 01:07:43,290
Miles can't shake the anger he felt at Mole at the end, and he has a hard time reconciling
Mole being pulled through that and how much hatred he felt for him.

1152
01:07:43,290 --> 01:07:49,676
He doesn't connect the dots that it was the Hydra's influence, but he struggles with it
and has nightmares about it.

1153
01:07:49,676 --> 01:07:56,930
And when he thinks of Mole, he also gets those that disassociative amnesia comes up where

1154
01:07:56,930 --> 01:08:04,352
He'll be walking around the house, remember Mole, and then realize he's standing in his
driveway with his car keys, and then have to go in.

1155
01:08:04,352 --> 01:08:08,053
Like he feels like he's getting early onset dementia at times.

1156
01:08:08,053 --> 01:08:11,674
Huge disconnect comes between him and his wife.

1157
01:08:11,674 --> 01:08:21,457
Over time, he grows closer to Morrison and they hang out more and more and more, and then
goes through a divorce, kids gone, they move back to China.

1158
01:08:21,457 --> 01:08:23,797
It's Miles and Morrison here.

1159
01:08:23,797 --> 01:08:25,158
And he

1160
01:08:26,326 --> 01:08:31,604
at the end tries to make himself forget the entire thing with the ritual.

1161
01:08:40,354 --> 01:08:41,319
Yeah.

1162
01:08:44,771 --> 01:08:45,692
Forgot.

1163
01:08:47,630 --> 01:08:48,890
I forgot his name yesterday.

1164
01:08:48,890 --> 01:08:54,195
I was sitting there, I saw his face, but couldn't remember his name.

1165
01:08:54,570 --> 01:08:57,058
Mm m my own kid, Chase.

1166
01:09:00,137 --> 01:09:02,774
It's been what, five years, right?

1167
01:09:04,341 --> 01:09:05,896
Something like that.

1168
01:09:07,384 --> 01:09:09,884
We give we give too much.

1169
01:09:13,175 --> 01:09:14,195
I know.

1170
01:09:14,996 --> 01:09:16,778
Miles, I know.

1171
01:09:17,833 --> 01:09:19,640
I did the math.

1172
01:09:20,422 --> 01:09:21,883
I keep doing it.

1173
01:09:23,245 --> 01:09:28,990
If we just left Anthony and it alone, it'd be thirty to fifty people a year.

1174
01:09:31,608 --> 01:09:33,440
My wife would still be here.

1175
01:09:33,781 --> 01:09:35,484
Your family would be at home.

1176
01:09:35,484 --> 01:09:36,664
Right now.

1177
01:09:37,566 --> 01:09:38,397
It was too much.

1178
01:09:38,397 --> 01:09:40,550
And for what?

1179
01:09:40,938 --> 01:09:43,353
A drop in the fucking bucket.

1180
01:09:46,224 --> 01:09:49,002
How many people die in car crashes every day?

1181
01:09:49,002 --> 01:09:51,152
How many from guns every month?

1182
01:09:51,772 --> 01:10:00,429
I wish we could make them pay somehow for taking it all your face, my family, debt no one
has paid us back for.

1183
01:10:00,429 --> 01:10:01,246
Yeah.

1184
01:10:01,806 --> 01:10:03,309
Yeah, it's the job.

1185
01:10:03,706 --> 01:10:06,381
Or we thought it was the job.

1186
01:10:10,616 --> 01:10:11,471
Mm-hmm.

1187
01:10:16,096 --> 01:10:20,873
In the winter of twenty two or shit, I can't remember now.

1188
01:10:20,873 --> 01:10:22,053
Sometime.

1189
01:10:24,054 --> 01:10:26,235
I was training my team for nationals.

1190
01:10:27,477 --> 01:10:32,741
In every race there's a moment when your lungs are completely on fire.

1191
01:10:33,062 --> 01:10:37,085
Your vision starts to tunnel and every muscle in your body is screaming.

1192
01:10:38,507 --> 01:10:43,731
Just drop your ski poles, bury yourself in the soft, cool snow.

1193
01:10:44,272 --> 01:10:45,653
It's right there.

1194
01:10:45,693 --> 01:10:46,934
Right there.

1195
01:10:48,746 --> 01:10:51,911
It'd be the easiest choice in the world to just let it all go.

1196
01:10:52,346 --> 01:10:55,577
Your body wants you to let it all go.

1197
01:10:57,846 --> 01:11:06,203
If you quit, you just stop and fall over into that soft fluffy coolness.

1198
01:11:07,427 --> 01:11:09,230
The pain's just gone.

1199
01:11:10,904 --> 01:11:12,523
Just washes away.

1200
01:11:13,090 --> 01:11:15,828
Let me guess, you keep going.

1201
01:11:16,290 --> 01:11:21,072
Not because you think you're gonna win, and not because you love the suffering.

1202
01:11:22,744 --> 01:11:27,935
keep pushing because you trust the discipline of the track more than you trust the
exhaustion in your head.

1203
01:11:27,935 --> 01:11:30,690
The screaming from your muscles.

1204
01:11:31,193 --> 01:11:32,253
All of it.

1205
01:11:35,096 --> 01:11:38,470
Miles, you're all I have left.

1206
01:11:39,692 --> 01:11:41,606
If you want, I'll help you.

1207
01:11:45,304 --> 01:11:45,865
Heh

1208
01:11:45,865 --> 01:11:46,799
Damn it.

1209
01:11:52,440 --> 01:11:55,601
I'll trace the lines and you'll forget it all.

1210
01:11:57,576 --> 01:12:03,981
Sometimes sometimes it's that or something else.

1211
01:12:04,484 --> 01:12:05,945
Something more final.

1212
01:12:07,864 --> 01:12:10,319
How about tonight we just sit for a while?

1213
01:12:11,805 --> 01:12:13,327
Enjoy the fire.

1214
01:12:13,810 --> 01:12:15,773
We can think about it in the morning.
