1
00:00:01,012 --> 00:00:13,918
So, uh we finished our last scenario, which was the first scenario of the Demnatio
Memoriale fan campaign by Hank Bellinger.

2
00:00:13,918 --> 00:00:17,239
uh I did some editing of it.

3
00:00:17,239 --> 00:00:19,000
uh I'm Patrick.

4
00:00:19,000 --> 00:00:26,303
uh The scenario we just wrapped up was called Dead Man's Switch.

5
00:00:26,879 --> 00:00:33,102
We are starting the second scenario whose name I'll tell you at the end.

6
00:00:34,423 --> 00:00:34,964
Shocker.

7
00:00:34,964 --> 00:00:39,762
So let's get the ball rolling on that.

8
00:00:39,762 --> 00:00:42,141
Let me just pull something up super quick.

9
00:00:43,142 --> 00:00:49,176
Yeah, it is mid-August 2020.

10
00:00:49,176 --> 00:00:53,919
COVID-19 lockdowns have been in effect since March.

11
00:00:53,919 --> 00:00:57,661
1,000 people die from the disease every day.

12
00:00:57,722 --> 00:01:03,366
Social distancing and masking are still heavily socially enforced in Washington.

13
00:01:03,366 --> 00:01:09,029
Unemployment is the highest since the Great Depression, and Americans are still cooped up
at home.

14
00:01:09,050 --> 00:01:13,292
Black Lives Matter protests continue across the country.

15
00:01:14,293 --> 00:01:20,355
Jimmy, how is Morrison spending his lockdown?

16
00:01:23,075 --> 00:01:35,640
you know, so I think because he lives in a small town, uh, kind of North East of Seattle,
he can probably still get out and go on trails, uh, cause he's not around anyone.

17
00:01:35,674 --> 00:01:42,703
Uh, but beyond that, he wanted to work on some of his skills specifically cause he's a
biathlon guy and a coach.

18
00:01:42,703 --> 00:01:47,345
He wanted to work on his motivational speaking, which I put down as like persuade.

19
00:01:47,345 --> 00:01:49,366
So I imagine he's probably like,

20
00:01:49,740 --> 00:01:54,816
watching a lot of videos on like how to motivate people maybe like networking with other
coaches.

21
00:01:55,517 --> 00:02:02,566
Yeah, talking with other coaches about how do you you know, get your people motivated and
then he's doing a lot of like talking to himself in the mirror.

22
00:02:02,566 --> 00:02:03,748
You can do it.

23
00:02:03,748 --> 00:02:04,949
You can do it.

24
00:02:04,949 --> 00:02:06,390
You can do it.

25
00:02:06,391 --> 00:02:07,492
You can do it.

26
00:02:07,492 --> 00:02:09,514
No, no, that not that last one.

27
00:02:10,197 --> 00:02:10,600
I love it.

28
00:02:10,600 --> 00:02:11,798
um

29
00:02:11,798 --> 00:02:18,672
And then the other skill he wanted to work on ah was uh military science C.

30
00:02:18,672 --> 00:02:29,447
This didn't really come up before, but he wasn't a military ah and he has quite a bit of
skill in land military science, but he's like, I live near the coast.

31
00:02:29,448 --> 00:02:32,383
This should probably brush up on some of the C stuff too.

32
00:02:32,383 --> 00:02:39,906
Yeah, don't forget you can also improve your core stats, strength, dex, con, int, power,
charisma.

33
00:02:39,906 --> 00:02:41,731
That's that is also on the table.

34
00:02:41,731 --> 00:02:48,902
I thought about Charisma, but his isn't that good and I didn't know it was one more point
in Charisma, assuming I even pass would be worth it.

35
00:02:48,902 --> 00:02:54,150
So although I guess it would be a 50 or 60 instead, because you increased the bass, right?

36
00:02:54,150 --> 00:02:57,246
So instead of an 11, it would be, yeah, that's all right.

37
00:02:57,246 --> 00:03:03,908
What I don't know is if increasing your base stats increases your calculated stats.

38
00:03:03,908 --> 00:03:07,929
So would that improve all of your bonds by one?

39
00:03:07,929 --> 00:03:09,609
I'd say, yeah.

40
00:03:10,470 --> 00:03:14,571
Same with improving your constitution would improve your maximum HP.

41
00:03:14,571 --> 00:03:18,592
Improving your power would improve your maximum sanity.

42
00:03:18,732 --> 00:03:20,012
That sort of thing.

43
00:03:20,853 --> 00:03:21,273
So.

44
00:03:21,273 --> 00:03:21,737
sense.

45
00:03:21,737 --> 00:03:22,840
That's on the table.

46
00:03:22,840 --> 00:03:25,528
How are you improving your military science?

47
00:03:25,528 --> 00:03:26,488
See.

48
00:03:27,529 --> 00:03:36,824
Uh, probably just reading a whole lot, like a lot of just like books about historical sea
battles, looking up stuff about like tactics, things like that.

49
00:03:36,824 --> 00:03:41,157
Uh, probably not necessarily like swimming skills and stuff like that.

50
00:03:41,157 --> 00:03:43,632
Although I guess, you know, he could, but.

51
00:03:43,632 --> 00:03:54,401
a lot of um United States Navy handbooks and training guides available on just .gov sites.

52
00:03:54,401 --> 00:03:57,073
can get field manuals.

53
00:03:57,073 --> 00:03:57,693
Yeah.

54
00:03:57,693 --> 00:04:02,757
What is your uh military science see at right now?

55
00:04:03,323 --> 00:04:04,647
it's zero.

56
00:04:04,647 --> 00:04:06,811
I have 60 in land.

57
00:04:06,813 --> 00:04:07,334
Yes.

58
00:04:07,334 --> 00:04:08,676
Is that different?

59
00:04:09,942 --> 00:04:10,842
Okay.

60
00:04:12,307 --> 00:04:16,920
I love that you're doing military science, the most useful skill in Delta Green.

61
00:04:16,920 --> 00:04:26,296
Well, so what I had originally proposed was like, can I stay on the case for this
operation we're going to do and look into things and be like, what's the layout of this

62
00:04:26,296 --> 00:04:26,736
island?

63
00:04:26,736 --> 00:04:31,539
Like if we know that we're going to prepare for this thing, like what's the history of the
place?

64
00:04:31,800 --> 00:04:38,754
What's, you know, there look at like, if there's any kind of tourism board stuff, what
kind of industry they have and then like geographic layouts.

65
00:04:38,754 --> 00:04:41,794
But it sounds like that was, yeah, go ahead.

66
00:04:41,794 --> 00:04:44,116
that and I want you to do that.

67
00:04:44,116 --> 00:04:45,937
You haven't got the mission yet.

68
00:04:45,957 --> 00:04:47,078
Do it on mission time.

69
00:04:47,078 --> 00:04:52,101
um Yeah, sure.

70
00:04:52,101 --> 00:04:58,085
You can learn military science C, get ready to get.

71
00:04:59,239 --> 00:05:00,661
Not much points.

72
00:05:00,761 --> 00:05:02,842
3D6 percentage points to that skill.

73
00:05:02,842 --> 00:05:22,588
uh Before you roll this, uh we never really discussed on Mike who Morrison is, what he
used to do, what he does do outside of Delta Green.

74
00:05:22,869 --> 00:05:24,589
What is your background?

75
00:05:26,607 --> 00:05:41,130
so essentially he, uh, was in, I don't think I've really specified, but, uh, yeah, just
put former military, but I'm going to say army, you know, did maybe like six years did

76
00:05:41,130 --> 00:05:45,734
some kind of like, uh, essentially I based them on like the special operator class.

77
00:05:45,734 --> 00:05:52,850
So essentially like special operations stuff did a six years got out when he was still
relatively young.

78
00:05:52,934 --> 00:06:00,757
he got really into skiing and with his background in like special operations and firearms,
he was really drawn to biathlons.

79
00:06:00,797 --> 00:06:02,478
So he got really into biathlons.

80
00:06:02,478 --> 00:06:11,342
Uh, I looked this up at some point, but I forgot now he would be like a little bit on the
older side, but still within the age range to be like Olympic level biathlete.

81
00:06:11,402 --> 00:06:12,362
Got really into that.

82
00:06:12,362 --> 00:06:19,225
Uh, I had put Olympic biathlete in my history, so I didn't expound upon that much.

83
00:06:19,225 --> 00:06:21,514
Um, and I didn't.

84
00:06:21,514 --> 00:06:22,776
are you famous?

85
00:06:23,579 --> 00:06:27,785
No, I don't think I mean, can anyone here name a single by athlete?

86
00:06:28,548 --> 00:06:30,161
Yeah, famous or otherwise?

87
00:06:30,161 --> 00:06:32,073
Yeah.

88
00:06:33,097 --> 00:06:33,802
Yeah.

89
00:06:33,802 --> 00:06:35,751
sought out for tutelage.

90
00:06:35,751 --> 00:06:44,312
In the biathlete community, you are perhaps a household name, or at least, like, even odds
of knowing, right?

91
00:06:44,312 --> 00:06:50,194
Yeah, you know, I imagine it's uh it's one of those communities that like viewed from the
outside.

92
00:06:50,194 --> 00:06:57,707
You're like, I don't really know much about this, but probably within it, it's probably
pretty small and probably any like big biathlete thing.

93
00:06:57,708 --> 00:07:03,810
You're going to know 70 percent of the people there by name, if not like personally.

94
00:07:04,149 --> 00:07:04,530
Sure.

95
00:07:04,530 --> 00:07:05,411
Yeah.

96
00:07:05,934 --> 00:07:06,385
Awesome.

97
00:07:06,385 --> 00:07:06,666
Yeah.

98
00:07:06,666 --> 00:07:08,099
Roll those, roll those bones.

99
00:07:08,099 --> 00:07:12,189
Let's start with your persuade.

100
00:07:12,910 --> 00:07:16,670
I have stay on because actually I have other...

101
00:07:16,670 --> 00:07:23,273
listeners following along at home, we're doing personal pursuits straight from the agent's
handbook of the game.

102
00:07:23,273 --> 00:07:37,441
uh In downtime between scenarios, uh home scenes, little vignettes get played out uh in
Delta Green games where you show the everyday reality of these people.

103
00:07:37,441 --> 00:07:45,075
um What Agent Morrison is doing is taking the improved skills or stats

104
00:07:45,141 --> 00:07:59,288
uh personal pursuit by training or studying extensively the agent can try to boost two
separate skills or stats uh by attempting to roll under their stat.

105
00:07:59,288 --> 00:08:04,450
If they fail a check, he gets to add 3d6 percentile to the skill.

106
00:08:04,450 --> 00:08:06,871
If he passes, he gets nothing.

107
00:08:07,992 --> 00:08:09,333
So did you pass?

108
00:08:09,333 --> 00:08:10,062
Persuade.

109
00:08:10,062 --> 00:08:13,022
rolled a 29 on a 24.

110
00:08:13,742 --> 00:08:15,802
So I did not pass.

111
00:08:15,802 --> 00:08:16,902
I failed.

112
00:08:17,542 --> 00:08:18,462
Yes.

113
00:08:18,502 --> 00:08:19,162
Yes.

114
00:08:19,162 --> 00:08:19,525
Yep.

115
00:08:19,525 --> 00:08:20,838
3D6, roll it.

116
00:08:21,839 --> 00:08:38,959
uh that is 16 right yeah 16 which is pretty good two sixes and a four so i'll uh i have so
that would put me up to 40 from a 24 so yeah i'll take it

117
00:08:38,959 --> 00:08:47,451
Now, give me that, yeah, me, yeah, Rolled Military Science C for me.

118
00:08:47,659 --> 00:08:52,339
I rolled 88 on a zero, so...

119
00:08:52,339 --> 00:08:53,283
Yeah.

120
00:08:53,283 --> 00:08:55,568
You get 3D6, you don't get the max.

121
00:08:55,568 --> 00:08:57,335
That'd be really funny though.

122
00:08:57,335 --> 00:08:58,500
It would be funny.

123
00:08:58,500 --> 00:09:01,556
I got four.

124
00:09:01,556 --> 00:09:02,227
Four.

125
00:09:02,227 --> 00:09:09,757
That makes sense to me, frankly, given that you're starting at zero and you're doing this
at home during lockdown alone.

126
00:09:10,406 --> 00:09:11,760
Or, or, art?

127
00:09:12,082 --> 00:09:13,102
Yeah.

128
00:09:13,103 --> 00:09:14,044
Yeah.

129
00:09:15,127 --> 00:09:17,950
actually, who are you spending lockdown with?

130
00:09:18,319 --> 00:09:23,074
ah So that would basically just be my wife, Sarah Brown.

131
00:09:25,116 --> 00:09:26,467
Awesome, yeah.

132
00:09:26,688 --> 00:09:27,729
Yeah.

133
00:09:27,729 --> 00:09:36,019
So each increase to a stat or skill reduces one bond by one as you let other
responsibilities lapse.

134
00:09:36,019 --> 00:09:41,006
Who are you neglecting to learn four points of military science?

135
00:09:41,006 --> 00:09:41,725
C.

136
00:09:42,703 --> 00:09:50,156
Um, you know, so I, as far as bonds, have my wife who I'm mainly spending lockdown with
and then also my brother Charlie.

137
00:09:50,156 --> 00:09:51,550
ah

138
00:09:51,550 --> 00:09:54,537
Maybe you're not calling Charlie as much as you could be?

139
00:09:54,537 --> 00:10:02,861
or not like hanging out with him since like I'm technically not supposed to like go out
and be with him So I I would lose two from him like one for each skill

140
00:10:02,871 --> 00:10:09,232
could pick one from your wife, you could pick two from Charlie, you can split it up
however you like.

141
00:10:09,367 --> 00:10:11,594
Okay, I'll say two from Charlie.

142
00:10:12,552 --> 00:10:13,824
Sounds good.

143
00:10:13,947 --> 00:10:20,605
Hey Nick, I'm getting like a ton of like hissing or static or something from I think your
mic.

144
00:10:21,606 --> 00:10:22,562
It's gone.

145
00:10:23,591 --> 00:10:24,671
Fixed it.

146
00:10:25,835 --> 00:10:27,638
Yeah, I think it's just picking up the environment.

147
00:10:27,638 --> 00:10:30,180
yeah, it's, yeah.

148
00:10:30,321 --> 00:10:33,684
Is it showing anything when you're not talking on your little bar?

149
00:10:33,717 --> 00:10:34,446
looks like it.

150
00:10:34,446 --> 00:10:35,553
Let me see.

151
00:10:37,729 --> 00:10:40,049
It's unusual.

152
00:10:40,134 --> 00:10:42,509
Seems like the gain's just maybe really high.

153
00:10:42,565 --> 00:10:44,840
You might have just been a little louder than you should.

154
00:10:45,990 --> 00:10:47,216
Hot mic.

155
00:10:51,194 --> 00:10:54,902
I mean, it's glowing orange, so that should have been our first hint.

156
00:10:58,150 --> 00:11:01,040
Weird am I loud enough or okay?

157
00:11:01,040 --> 00:11:01,355
Yeah?

158
00:11:01,355 --> 00:11:02,790
exactly as loud as you used to.

159
00:11:02,790 --> 00:11:05,488
It's just the ambient is gone.

160
00:11:05,488 --> 00:11:07,190
Yeah, that's really interesting.

161
00:11:07,944 --> 00:11:09,645
Uh, yeah.

162
00:11:09,645 --> 00:11:27,213
So Agent Morrison is neglecting his relationship with his brother to, uh, read up on
naval, military history and, uh, to take self-help courses in motivational speaking.

163
00:11:27,213 --> 00:11:30,214
What a way to spend lockdown.

164
00:11:31,715 --> 00:11:34,356
Nick, what is Miles?

165
00:11:34,724 --> 00:11:35,305
up to.

166
00:11:35,305 --> 00:11:47,300
And again, I don't think we really talked too much about who Miles is or was before
becoming an agent, so let's talk a little bit about that too.

167
00:11:47,839 --> 00:11:55,637
Yeah, Miles is an associate laboratory director for national security at the Pacific
Northwest Laboratory.

168
00:11:55,637 --> 00:12:03,944
And he spends most of his time in Seattle, but also goes to Richmond, Washington for some
nuclear facilities.

169
00:12:05,542 --> 00:12:08,845
His education is in chemical physics.

170
00:12:08,845 --> 00:12:20,095
So he oversees a lot of the field operations and foreign intelligence analysis of things
like nuclear, chemical, and biological technologies.

171
00:12:20,175 --> 00:12:30,204
more, excuse me, more recently he's been getting into things about HABs, so harmful algae
in the Pacific Northwest.

172
00:12:30,672 --> 00:12:31,552
Awesome, yeah.

173
00:12:31,552 --> 00:12:35,827
So it sounds like he's not just a suit in a administrative role.

174
00:12:35,827 --> 00:12:44,324
He is somebody with doctoral degrees in this field um doing stuff at a technical level.

175
00:12:44,672 --> 00:12:51,526
Yeah, he got his PhD at UW for chemical physics and before that he was in chemical
engineering at Stanford.

176
00:12:51,567 --> 00:12:57,681
And he spends his lockdown, I mean, mostly doing what he always did before.

177
00:12:57,681 --> 00:13:06,337
He's working remotely now, but his morning runs are less about fitness during the lockdown
and more about calibration.

178
00:13:06,337 --> 00:13:12,620
They're still five miles long around Seward Park and he kind of uses that.

179
00:13:13,237 --> 00:13:19,440
that run to disperse the ideas and the stress of being locked in his house.

180
00:13:19,440 --> 00:13:27,724
ah Sometimes he takes his son, whose name is Wintow, in a stroller and pushes him in front
of him as a little passenger in his orbit.

181
00:13:27,724 --> 00:13:34,387
But the whole time he's calculating like what six feet is as he's running by people and
sticks to the strict guidelines.

182
00:13:34,387 --> 00:13:37,989
Most of the time he'll wear a mask on his runs as well if it's a little busy.

183
00:13:37,989 --> 00:13:41,190
If it's not and it's early morning, he takes it off.

184
00:13:41,190 --> 00:13:43,181
yeah, the returning home for him

185
00:13:43,181 --> 00:13:45,712
is almost like an airlock procedure.

186
00:13:45,712 --> 00:13:49,974
He'll strip off like some of his clothes, wash his hands immediately.

187
00:13:49,974 --> 00:13:52,885
He usually tosses away the N95 mask.

188
00:13:52,885 --> 00:13:55,796
He doesn't wear the washable ones.

189
00:13:55,817 --> 00:14:03,790
And ah he greets his wife, Mei, and she usually has a coffee and a tired smile for him.

190
00:14:03,790 --> 00:14:05,821
And they don't.

191
00:14:05,865 --> 00:14:09,048
necessarily talk a lot about the pandemic itself.

192
00:14:09,048 --> 00:14:14,752
They're just kind of managing themselves and the chaos in a controlled environment.

193
00:14:14,752 --> 00:14:20,837
So they have this like bubble of logic that they've built and they're trying to keep the
outdoors out.

194
00:14:21,276 --> 00:14:21,738
Yeah.

195
00:14:21,738 --> 00:14:22,560
No, I love it.

196
00:14:22,560 --> 00:14:23,404
That all makes sense.

197
00:14:23,404 --> 00:14:25,921
Is it one of those like jogging strollers?

198
00:14:25,921 --> 00:14:27,441
Oh yeah, Bob.

199
00:14:27,481 --> 00:14:29,332
So, it's a Bob, yeah.

200
00:14:29,332 --> 00:14:30,413
very good.

201
00:14:30,736 --> 00:14:36,147
All right, so what is your personal pursuit for these couple of months?

202
00:14:37,130 --> 00:14:39,752
Yeah, it's really just fulfill responsibilities.

203
00:14:40,294 --> 00:14:49,844
So just honing in on the new parenthood and then the relationship with his wife as she's
still recovering from her C-section.

204
00:14:50,066 --> 00:14:50,948
Yeah, for sure.

205
00:14:50,948 --> 00:14:51,899
Okay.

206
00:14:52,744 --> 00:14:54,998
Give me a sand check.

207
00:14:55,999 --> 00:14:56,910
okay.

208
00:14:57,148 --> 00:14:59,888
85 over 67.

209
00:15:00,393 --> 00:15:01,563
All right.

210
00:15:04,867 --> 00:15:09,790
Failure on this check adds one to your bond with your wife.

211
00:15:09,790 --> 00:15:15,755
um A success would have improved it by one D6.

212
00:15:15,935 --> 00:15:25,763
A critical success would have also given you a point of sanity and a fumble would have
meant some disastrous conflict reducing your bond by a D4.

213
00:15:25,763 --> 00:15:26,563
uh

214
00:15:27,246 --> 00:15:29,719
Great, yeah, I'll take the one.

215
00:15:29,719 --> 00:15:33,199
yep, beats the alternatives.

216
00:15:34,659 --> 00:15:40,579
Jordan, what is, who is and was Magpie?

217
00:15:41,394 --> 00:15:49,889
Yeah, Magpie m was, well, a bit of a gifted lad.

218
00:15:49,889 --> 00:15:55,292
He was at home a lot, while his foreign, dignitary parents were abroad.

219
00:15:55,292 --> 00:16:08,520
m his kind of measure was academic and uh athletic and em about his ability to perform
against his parents' expectations.

220
00:16:08,520 --> 00:16:09,420
And so

221
00:16:09,420 --> 00:16:19,566
When they said reach for the stars, he took them pretty literally and he was on a
trajectory towards working for NASA trying to get a position on a space shuttle.

222
00:16:19,566 --> 00:16:27,070
And so he enrolled in the Navy and working on a naval vessel.

223
00:16:27,070 --> 00:16:37,406
He took his GI Bill and went to college and getting into the medical field and going to
medical school.

224
00:16:37,567 --> 00:16:45,964
goes back into rotation on the Navy, does a second tour uh in the medical facility there.

225
00:16:45,964 --> 00:17:00,936
um And as he is starting to apply for flight school to earn his pilot's license, he learns
that he is absolutely motion sick when it comes to flying.

226
00:17:01,237 --> 00:17:05,936
And his dreams are kind of shattered where he stands.

227
00:17:05,936 --> 00:17:20,949
And that's about where we find him at the beginning of the 2020 lockdown, where he's
really trying to figure out how he can pivot his career choices and his frustrations into

228
00:17:20,949 --> 00:17:22,790
something more profitable.

229
00:17:22,790 --> 00:17:35,100
And so he's looking to kind of specialize em into em like private security for people who
are medically compromised, especially.

230
00:17:35,104 --> 00:17:42,728
um I think that might be why Madison and or Morrison may have sought him out in
particular.

231
00:17:42,748 --> 00:17:57,216
seems like Mole and some of the other boys, but Mole in particular is maybe a little
unstable and might need a little more looking after than your average bear.

232
00:17:57,757 --> 00:18:04,410
so, um to, over the course of this lockdown,

233
00:18:04,410 --> 00:18:13,528
I'm trying to look the part, put some things on my resume, some certifications in firearms
and more in pharmaceuticals.

234
00:18:14,303 --> 00:18:16,224
Awesome, yeah.

235
00:18:16,224 --> 00:18:24,409
How are you practicing uh pharmaceuticals and firearms during the lockdown?

236
00:18:24,409 --> 00:18:28,072
Because I believe we discussed your living situation.

237
00:18:28,072 --> 00:18:33,310
You live on a uh floating house on the lake, floating home.

238
00:18:33,310 --> 00:18:39,853
uh just a scooter's ride away from where we uh met at the original meet point.

239
00:18:40,014 --> 00:18:45,276
Yeah, I stay there with my sister, uh which has been a couple years in the making.

240
00:18:45,276 --> 00:18:48,959
uh And by the end of this, it's a couple years into breaking.

241
00:18:48,959 --> 00:18:58,423
And we'll see how breaky it gets as I kind of try to turn our place into like a Navy SEALs
training ground, right?

242
00:18:58,423 --> 00:18:59,648
I got a VR.

243
00:18:59,648 --> 00:19:11,415
um headset taking up like the biggest room at a house and I like threatened to break
through the glass door every single day in that one and I'm dry fire practice with a laser

244
00:19:11,415 --> 00:19:19,629
training trigger I got you know we're running drills malfunctions and maintenance there's
a little RC boat that one of the kids likes to drive around and I'm popping shots at it

245
00:19:19,629 --> 00:19:28,984
with uh a airsoft pellet on the on the lake um it hasn't sunk yet so we got an LK thing
going um

246
00:19:29,374 --> 00:19:35,746
And then on account that I was causing so much of a stir up in his living situation,
driving my sister mad.

247
00:19:35,746 --> 00:19:41,767
And she actually put my email address in on all the mailing editors on all the
pharmaceuticals.

248
00:19:41,967 --> 00:19:52,330
And so I started getting all the promotional materials and I got uh free sample packets of
SSRIs and you know, uh little trifold booklets out the ass.

249
00:19:52,450 --> 00:19:55,571
And so I do go ahead and get to reading on some of those.

250
00:19:55,571 --> 00:19:59,442
And I start, you know, contacting some of the people who would author them and

251
00:19:59,966 --> 00:20:06,276
the people that co-peer review studies and things like that and building a little
community in there.

252
00:20:06,719 --> 00:20:11,697
new guidelines, new drugs, just keeping yourself up to date.

253
00:20:11,742 --> 00:20:15,563
Yeah, as bleedin' edge as you can get from a paper cut on one of these things.

254
00:20:15,563 --> 00:20:16,976
Yeah, awesome.

255
00:20:16,976 --> 00:20:17,949
Yeah, that sounds good.

256
00:20:17,949 --> 00:20:25,637
ah Give me a check on firearms and then give me a check on pharmacy.

257
00:20:25,665 --> 00:20:30,025
Okay, yeah, so neither of these is a sure thing.

258
00:20:30,025 --> 00:20:35,485
Firearms, we're looking for a 60 and a 95 will do just about anything for us.

259
00:20:35,525 --> 00:20:37,425
Do you wanna see that 3D6 then?

260
00:20:38,345 --> 00:20:40,765
All right, 3D6 coming at ya.

261
00:20:40,765 --> 00:20:43,385
14, we take those.

262
00:20:43,745 --> 00:20:47,745
So that's a 60 up to 74.

263
00:20:47,765 --> 00:20:52,744
Jesus Christ, that you get real familiar with that airsoft pistol.

264
00:20:52,864 --> 00:20:55,624
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

265
00:20:55,724 --> 00:21:01,884
Yeah, it's one of those things where I'm doing the in and out of the magazine so many
times.

266
00:21:01,884 --> 00:21:08,404
Right, and I'm only discharging one pellet every time, and my neighbor comes out and he's
like, you're gonna clean those up, right?

267
00:21:08,404 --> 00:21:13,983
Because there's just a pool of 700 of them that have pebbled up in a little nook there.

268
00:21:13,983 --> 00:21:14,763
Yeah.

269
00:21:15,426 --> 00:21:15,957
Awesome.

270
00:21:15,957 --> 00:21:16,388
Yeah.

271
00:21:16,388 --> 00:21:16,808
Okay.

272
00:21:16,808 --> 00:21:18,788
uh Give me that pharmacy.

273
00:21:18,788 --> 00:21:19,968
pharmacy.

274
00:21:20,948 --> 00:21:27,640
61 is more than 40 and 3D6 is looking like 12.

275
00:21:27,965 --> 00:21:31,357
All right, that's pretty good, pretty good, pretty good.

276
00:21:31,357 --> 00:21:32,437
All right.

277
00:21:33,038 --> 00:21:44,263
Now, so we talked a little bit earlier today about how you don't have any firearms
actually listed on your sheet with a 60 firearms.

278
00:21:44,584 --> 00:21:51,067
Did you want to go ahead and try to obtain a restricted weapon?

279
00:21:51,508 --> 00:22:05,352
Yeah, yeah, we're doing a little time jump back in time to see uh how, if I was able to
like flesh out my personal uh armory with a little bit of the US national supply.

280
00:22:05,685 --> 00:22:14,959
Yeah, do you want to have stolen a fully automatic submachine gun from the United States
Navy armory?

281
00:22:15,380 --> 00:22:17,080
Why yes, Patrick, I do want that.

282
00:22:17,195 --> 00:22:20,831
Okay, uh what skill are you going to try and do this with?

283
00:22:20,831 --> 00:22:32,526
Yeah, so I understand, I don't really know how it works, but I do understand that at the
end of each spending period, they're looking to re-up budgets and so a bunch of inflated

284
00:22:32,526 --> 00:22:37,508
spending comes through and they just slam yes, green, green, green on anything that comes
through.

285
00:22:37,508 --> 00:22:40,450
And so I try, I understand where the cracks are.

286
00:22:40,450 --> 00:22:45,952
I try and make an inflated order and I try and see that one of those kind of slips off
into the shadows.

287
00:22:46,991 --> 00:22:48,293
uh, sounds good.

288
00:22:48,293 --> 00:22:49,794
What skill?

289
00:22:50,697 --> 00:22:51,318
Very good.

290
00:22:51,318 --> 00:22:54,542
Uh, and what do you have in bureaucracy?

291
00:22:55,464 --> 00:22:56,025
All right.

292
00:22:56,025 --> 00:23:00,541
And if you fail this, this is like, this is like jail.

293
00:23:00,862 --> 00:23:02,032
Yeah, no, I do.

294
00:23:02,032 --> 00:23:06,499
I do understand that this is kind of the crash out period, I suppose.

295
00:23:06,499 --> 00:23:06,740
Right.

296
00:23:06,740 --> 00:23:06,999
So.

297
00:23:06,999 --> 00:23:14,499
is right after you find out that you puke in planes and you're like, fuck, I'm out.

298
00:23:15,479 --> 00:23:17,699
Better get while the getting's good.

299
00:23:18,112 --> 00:23:30,252
Right, there's a bit of, you know, they would have spent it on something dumber than this
anyway, and you know, and I'm owed this, and you know, I've hit an unofficial breaking

300
00:23:30,252 --> 00:23:31,252
point.

301
00:23:32,952 --> 00:23:35,672
Yeah, all right, well, here we go.

302
00:23:37,012 --> 00:23:39,359
31 is under 40.

303
00:23:39,359 --> 00:23:43,341
That is good enough on your sheet.

304
00:23:43,642 --> 00:23:46,804
So you have stolen a...

305
00:23:46,804 --> 00:23:56,530
Yeah, you've stolen an unusual expense restricted weapon.

306
00:23:57,572 --> 00:23:58,712
Good for you.

307
00:23:59,633 --> 00:24:01,134
You've had it this whole time.

308
00:24:01,134 --> 00:24:02,795
You've had it this whole time.

309
00:24:02,795 --> 00:24:06,297
Yeah, I think put it on your sheet.

310
00:24:06,297 --> 00:24:08,959
ah It's straight out of the book.

311
00:24:09,003 --> 00:24:14,023
You have a...

312
00:24:14,023 --> 00:24:19,943
You've got an MP9 fully automatic submachine gun.

313
00:24:19,943 --> 00:24:21,563
The skill is your firearm skill.

314
00:24:21,563 --> 00:24:23,303
It's got a base range of 50.

315
00:24:23,303 --> 00:24:30,503
It does a D10 if you're firing it in single shot mode or 10 % lethality if firing bursts.

316
00:24:30,503 --> 00:24:33,063
It has an ammo cap of 30.

317
00:24:33,123 --> 00:24:35,843
It's also super illegal.

318
00:24:35,943 --> 00:24:38,123
Do not get caught with this.

319
00:24:38,654 --> 00:24:39,641
Hell yeah.

320
00:24:39,701 --> 00:24:41,820
Yeah, well I do walk a little taller.

321
00:24:42,214 --> 00:24:45,945
You keep talking about how you take Lyme scooters everywhere.

322
00:24:45,945 --> 00:24:47,336
Do you have a car?

323
00:24:47,444 --> 00:24:48,285
funny.

324
00:24:48,326 --> 00:24:49,660
Yeah, we do.

325
00:24:49,660 --> 00:24:50,192
We do.

326
00:24:50,192 --> 00:24:51,896
Yeah, we share one.

327
00:24:51,896 --> 00:24:55,334
She commutes in the normal time.

328
00:24:55,476 --> 00:24:56,575
Okay, alright.

329
00:24:56,575 --> 00:24:57,377
is it?

330
00:24:58,090 --> 00:25:00,041
Golly.

331
00:25:00,843 --> 00:25:02,905
Yeah, no, I can tell you're curious.

332
00:25:02,905 --> 00:25:10,032
em Yeah, I think it was decidedly not my choice and so I really don't get along with it.

333
00:25:10,032 --> 00:25:12,204
It's one of those two-seater hatchbacks.

334
00:25:12,204 --> 00:25:17,339
One of those ones that makes you go like, now how on earth did somebody design a car like
that?

335
00:25:17,339 --> 00:25:18,680
Who was this for?

336
00:25:18,680 --> 00:25:20,361
Lo and behold, it's for me.

337
00:25:20,742 --> 00:25:23,184
Apparently, yeah, right.

338
00:25:23,869 --> 00:25:25,541
Awesome.

339
00:25:25,541 --> 00:25:32,411
Where are you keeping your stolen United States Navy restricted SMG?

340
00:25:32,830 --> 00:25:38,431
Is this uh just like normal everyday business or carrying?

341
00:25:39,274 --> 00:25:40,600
Yeah, I mean...

342
00:25:40,600 --> 00:25:44,465
you've got it in a, it's got a carrying kit, like a Pelican case, I'm sure.

343
00:25:44,522 --> 00:25:44,852
Sure.

344
00:25:44,852 --> 00:25:50,175
Yeah, it goes in a duffel, you know, so as to be inconspicuous as with most other things
when we're moving around.

345
00:25:50,175 --> 00:25:58,600
em But as far as um day to day, I think it is just underneath the headboard.

346
00:25:58,600 --> 00:26:02,262
There's a headboard that is not actually attached.

347
00:26:02,262 --> 00:26:07,485
And so it's just able to be kind of like slipped up and you grab it out from under and
then set it back down.

348
00:26:07,505 --> 00:26:12,638
Like you meant to screw it in, but now you're just kind of making it look like you never
meant to.

349
00:26:13,547 --> 00:26:14,508
Sounds good.

350
00:26:14,508 --> 00:26:24,699
What I was getting at was does this live in the trunk of your car if an incident turns up
where you're on site and you realize you need your gun, will you have it on you?

351
00:26:24,936 --> 00:26:27,327
I guess it depends what I'm on site for.

352
00:26:27,501 --> 00:26:31,742
It sounds to me like you have to plan to bring it along because it lives at home.

353
00:26:31,742 --> 00:26:40,073
Yeah, yes, if I was being called out for uh to be prospected to, you know, or for for a
job, then it would certainly be.

354
00:26:40,073 --> 00:26:41,683
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, for sure.

355
00:26:41,683 --> 00:26:45,544
But for surprise like anything, no.

356
00:26:46,425 --> 00:26:49,306
All right, that sounds excellent to me.

357
00:26:49,306 --> 00:26:51,426
And I'll tell Jimmy when he gets back too.

358
00:26:51,426 --> 00:27:02,259
uh But Nick, Sam, Jimmy, if you guys need any uh non-incidental gear, we can talk about
that now.

359
00:27:02,259 --> 00:27:04,069
hey, Jimmy, can you hear us?

360
00:27:04,270 --> 00:27:06,170
Yeah.

361
00:27:06,690 --> 00:27:09,461
hey, head, Chordless, how nice.

362
00:27:09,461 --> 00:27:18,344
Did any of you want any non-incidental and or restricted gear that makes sense for your
characters and backgrounds?

363
00:27:20,139 --> 00:27:26,699
And again, there's a whole mechanic for obtaining it and if you fuck it up, it is bad.

364
00:27:27,879 --> 00:27:31,099
Magpie rolled a 40 % or go to jail check.

365
00:27:31,150 --> 00:27:36,223
Yeah, I probably would not try to obtain anything unauthorized.

366
00:27:36,223 --> 00:27:43,528
I do have experience with heavy weapons uh and demolition, ah but I'm not going to try to
sneak any of that stuff home.

367
00:27:43,797 --> 00:27:46,841
There are non-restricted heavy weapons.

368
00:27:47,535 --> 00:27:48,374
Hmm.

369
00:27:49,067 --> 00:27:55,596
Specifically, there's a handheld flamethrower that is an unusual expense.

370
00:27:56,078 --> 00:28:00,303
It's like the one you can buy from what's his nuts, the shithead.

371
00:28:00,852 --> 00:28:01,589
Who?

372
00:28:02,174 --> 00:28:03,478
I dare say it is unusual.

373
00:28:03,478 --> 00:28:04,932
Yeah, Elon.

374
00:28:04,932 --> 00:28:06,935
It's a boring company.

375
00:28:07,430 --> 00:28:09,033
you mean Leon Tusk?

376
00:28:09,251 --> 00:28:10,142
God.

377
00:28:10,302 --> 00:28:11,153
We're gonna get to that.

378
00:28:11,153 --> 00:28:14,565
Yeah, no.

379
00:28:14,565 --> 00:28:15,636
If you want to have...

380
00:28:15,636 --> 00:28:17,347
Okay.

381
00:28:17,908 --> 00:28:19,019
I am.

382
00:28:19,019 --> 00:28:28,888
It is an unusual expense, which means there's a potential for it to damage your financials
or your relationships with the people you share financials with.

383
00:28:28,888 --> 00:28:32,461
Hmm interesting, how does that work?

384
00:28:32,965 --> 00:28:40,395
can you pony up five grand without your wife figuring out?

385
00:28:41,688 --> 00:28:42,654
Hmm.

386
00:28:42,823 --> 00:28:44,983
And the way you do that is either...

387
00:28:45,604 --> 00:28:47,244
Well, so there's a couple ways you can do it.

388
00:28:47,244 --> 00:28:48,925
You can use illicit cash.

389
00:28:48,925 --> 00:28:50,745
You can use your own money.

390
00:28:50,745 --> 00:28:53,686
You can try and requisition it from the government.

391
00:28:53,726 --> 00:28:58,968
Or you could try and obtain something on the black market if you wanted a restricted item.

392
00:28:58,968 --> 00:29:04,209
um The easiest and safest thing for you to do would be to spend your own money.

393
00:29:04,330 --> 00:29:09,771
Which, all that happens is you say, I'm paying for an unusual expense.

394
00:29:09,791 --> 00:29:16,055
The stress of spending this reduces one non-delta green bond by one.

395
00:29:16,055 --> 00:29:33,147
um You can then make an accounting test to have done this without um hurting your
financials by cleverly taking out credit cards by hiding the trail.

396
00:29:33,242 --> 00:29:34,012
Hmm.

397
00:29:34,093 --> 00:29:35,854
That sounds like too much work.

398
00:29:35,854 --> 00:29:38,315
I have like a story way, but it wouldn't be quick.

399
00:29:38,315 --> 00:29:42,957
It'd be like, oh, well, you know, essentially I do a lot of shooting.

400
00:29:42,957 --> 00:29:47,860
like just in my life, I have a pretty big budget for like ammunition anyway.

401
00:29:48,200 --> 00:29:56,985
Maybe say over the course of a couple of years, instead of shooting like, you know, 500
rounds a week or whatever I normally do for practice, I just shoot 400.

402
00:29:56,985 --> 00:30:02,358
And then after a couple of years, I set that money aside and then I'm like, boom,
flamethrower.

403
00:30:02,419 --> 00:30:09,882
Yeah, so that's how you would get the unusual if you want you can roll that accounting and
then have that flamethrower

404
00:30:09,882 --> 00:30:10,380
Yeah.

405
00:30:10,380 --> 00:30:10,950
plan.

406
00:30:10,950 --> 00:30:12,012
And hear me out.

407
00:30:12,012 --> 00:30:17,799
If you succeed on it, canonically, you're like one of the guys from the station in the
thing, right?

408
00:30:17,799 --> 00:30:23,465
Like you're the fucking ski master with the daddy beard and the flamethrower.

409
00:30:23,650 --> 00:30:25,772
Now, I will put it out here.

410
00:30:25,772 --> 00:30:34,279
If you're willing to risk restricted and a major expense, there is a general purpose
machine gun on the...

411
00:30:35,361 --> 00:30:43,007
If you're a guns guy and you were in the military and you don't mind maybe retroactively
going to jail...

412
00:30:43,960 --> 00:30:47,904
Yeah, I feel like jail is not something that he's willing to risk.

413
00:30:47,904 --> 00:30:55,510
uh Ruining my finances, I don't know what that means in terms of the game, because we've
never actually done that.

414
00:30:56,552 --> 00:30:56,936
Yeah.

415
00:30:56,936 --> 00:30:59,438
broke, you're gonna have a really tough time later.

416
00:30:59,438 --> 00:31:01,409
You can get fired from your job.

417
00:31:01,409 --> 00:31:07,515
There's rules about being prosecuted, and there's rules about having Senate hearings.

418
00:31:07,515 --> 00:31:10,557
like, uh-huh.

419
00:31:11,858 --> 00:31:18,144
You're playing a game with a bureaucracy skill as its own line.

420
00:31:18,144 --> 00:31:20,298
It does, yep.

421
00:31:20,298 --> 00:31:21,571
My accounting's only 10.

422
00:31:21,571 --> 00:31:22,832
I'm gonna...

423
00:31:23,295 --> 00:31:29,877
I'm gonna have to let that dream of uh being one of the flamethrower guys from the thing
just remain a dream for now.

424
00:31:29,877 --> 00:31:30,418
can have it.

425
00:31:30,418 --> 00:31:33,789
You just damage your finances and your relationship with your wife.

426
00:31:35,110 --> 00:31:36,051
Okay.

427
00:31:36,051 --> 00:31:36,771
I love it.

428
00:31:36,771 --> 00:31:45,276
That's, I think that's a great like character point is like, no, I could do this.

429
00:31:45,276 --> 00:31:46,317
I won't.

430
00:31:46,317 --> 00:31:47,678
Why would I do that?

431
00:31:47,678 --> 00:31:48,998
And Magpie's like,

432
00:31:49,541 --> 00:31:50,222
Yeah.

433
00:31:50,222 --> 00:31:53,167
Chase really wants that flamethrower, but he's like, huh?

434
00:31:53,167 --> 00:31:54,430
What am I going to do with it?

435
00:31:54,430 --> 00:31:57,995
You know, ski behind my trainees and be like faster.

436
00:31:57,995 --> 00:31:58,851
You

437
00:31:58,920 --> 00:32:00,345
Ha ha ha ha.

438
00:32:00,624 --> 00:32:02,374
Don't let the flames getcha!

439
00:32:03,891 --> 00:32:06,961
So does anyone else need restricted gear?

440
00:32:07,124 --> 00:32:08,387
Sounds like no.

441
00:32:08,452 --> 00:32:10,331
I'm a wife guy, no thanks.

442
00:32:10,331 --> 00:32:10,695
Yeah.

443
00:32:10,695 --> 00:32:12,115
alright, okay.

444
00:32:12,115 --> 00:32:14,435
Sounds like a plan.

445
00:32:14,535 --> 00:32:19,475
Then, uh, yeah, Sam, what is...

446
00:32:19,475 --> 00:32:20,915
Mull's deal?

447
00:32:20,915 --> 00:32:23,890
Who is and was Agent Mull?

448
00:32:23,890 --> 00:32:30,973
Yeah, so, uh Mole, or Leon Tusk, is a corporate director at BlackRock.

449
00:32:31,193 --> 00:32:33,494
So he does like mergers and acquisitions.

450
00:32:33,494 --> 00:32:37,596
So he's just like truly going in and doing corporate espionage.

451
00:32:37,596 --> 00:32:50,521
uh He grew up in the Seattle area, went to Yale for undergrad, Harvard for law school, was
clerking with like a SCOTUS like track, because he was seen as smart and charismatic.

452
00:32:50,801 --> 00:32:52,842
And then the minute he could, he got out of it and said,

453
00:32:52,842 --> 00:33:00,962
and I'm gonna make money, enjoying a small corporate firm and then moved his way up to
corporate director at BlackRock.

454
00:33:01,402 --> 00:33:13,342
In the pandemic time, Mole lives on, and let me know if this doesn't make sense, but lives
on Mercer Island, has a nice big house there.

455
00:33:13,482 --> 00:33:14,662
Yeah, that's what I thought.

456
00:33:14,662 --> 00:33:18,002
And he's got almost a little bit of a compound.

457
00:33:18,822 --> 00:33:21,052
At this point in the pandemic, he's...

458
00:33:21,052 --> 00:33:34,985
knee deep in his addiction uh that is going on like online forums, on eBay and
undercutting people for things he knows that they really love and like fucking buying it

459
00:33:34,985 --> 00:33:35,975
out from underneath them.

460
00:33:35,975 --> 00:33:43,783
ah So he's got in his like basement, this computer set up and then just all of these
fucking expensive tchotchkes.

461
00:33:43,783 --> 00:33:47,880
And it's purely just like he's, you know, he like trolls forums for like

462
00:33:47,880 --> 00:33:57,023
I don't know, Snow Globe collectors, and if he sees somebody who's really looking for this
one thing, he undercuts them and buys it out from underneath them all just to maintain

463
00:33:57,023 --> 00:33:58,985
some amount of control.

464
00:34:00,390 --> 00:34:02,177
Yeah, total freak, yeah.

465
00:34:02,177 --> 00:34:13,472
would he buy uh like access to a large number of people's webcams on the dark web so that
he could watch their faces while he beat them to the buzzer?

466
00:34:14,053 --> 00:34:14,504
Yeah.

467
00:34:14,504 --> 00:34:19,388
minute he found out that he could do something like that, it was like sweetening the pot
that he could see.

468
00:34:19,388 --> 00:34:31,017
Like when you didn't get the item that makes you think about your father that you've been
pining about on this online forum, he can watch it happen and he's like, fuck yeah.

469
00:34:31,437 --> 00:34:32,183
I did that.

470
00:34:32,183 --> 00:34:36,129
guy waltzed up, he's like, baby let me show you what I can do for you.

471
00:34:36,201 --> 00:34:38,163
And the rest is history.

472
00:34:38,522 --> 00:34:42,134
what is Leon Tusk's computer science?

473
00:34:44,128 --> 00:34:46,250
Yeah, okay, fine.

474
00:34:46,833 --> 00:34:48,494
Scum, what the hell?

475
00:34:48,521 --> 00:34:49,405
Yeah, he's not great.

476
00:34:49,405 --> 00:34:50,850
um

477
00:34:50,963 --> 00:34:53,948
All right, horrendous.

478
00:34:53,948 --> 00:34:59,460
What's your personal pursuit other than cruelty for cruelty's sake?

479
00:34:59,460 --> 00:35:01,081
cruelty's for control sake.

480
00:35:01,081 --> 00:35:05,123
uh He is forced to go to therapy, unfortunately.

481
00:35:05,123 --> 00:35:20,529
um I think that he, uh what I had in my head, I don't think it's a court injunction,
because I think that Black Rock, yeah, is like, it tries to keep everything inside.

482
00:35:20,529 --> 00:35:22,602
And so Black Rock is like,

483
00:35:22,602 --> 00:35:31,522
He did something, said something off the wall, because he's already kind of like on the
edge there, did something on one of these like trip, business trips when he was like

484
00:35:31,522 --> 00:35:34,702
trying to do mergers and acquisition shit and undercut somebody.

485
00:35:34,782 --> 00:35:36,982
And boom, like he got in trouble.

486
00:35:36,982 --> 00:35:38,522
They wanted to keep it in house.

487
00:35:38,522 --> 00:35:40,382
So they hired some like therapists.

488
00:35:40,382 --> 00:35:44,702
He refuses to go see anybody because A, it's the pandemic and B, it's mole.

489
00:35:44,702 --> 00:35:49,462
And so they are doing it all over Zoom and he's taking it like not very seriously at all.

490
00:35:49,462 --> 00:35:51,662
It's like clicking through.

491
00:35:52,767 --> 00:35:54,062
He's on the forums.

492
00:35:54,062 --> 00:35:56,643
Yeah, he's on forums hunting.

493
00:35:57,503 --> 00:36:04,235
So, but I guess actually I say that, but I think there's probably a moment where he does
have to take it somewhat seriously, right?

494
00:36:04,235 --> 00:36:16,438
And he reflects on something bad that's happened to them, to himself, I would say, eh
because he's doing it like, I think they make him do like six sessions or something like

495
00:36:16,438 --> 00:36:16,638
that.

496
00:36:16,638 --> 00:36:18,979
And so the first couple, he's not taking it seriously at all.

497
00:36:18,979 --> 00:36:22,470
And then by the time, you know, rolls around to the sixth session, he's like,

498
00:36:22,470 --> 00:36:24,062
in the pandemic like fully.

499
00:36:24,062 --> 00:36:25,834
And so he's not been able to talk to anybody.

500
00:36:25,834 --> 00:36:31,701
His normal, he's a people person, even if it's like a shitty being shitty to other people,
he's still a people person.

501
00:36:31,701 --> 00:36:39,249
And so this has affected him in ways that he has no ability to figure out and like no
introspection to figure out why this is like causing him suffering.

502
00:36:39,249 --> 00:36:44,274
And I think that like on that third or fourth session, something actually comes out about
like the violence he's seen.

503
00:36:44,563 --> 00:36:46,778
Okay, do you think...

504
00:36:48,459 --> 00:36:50,540
So I got a couple of questions for you.

505
00:36:50,540 --> 00:36:56,943
Because Go To Therapy is like a whole ass half page in the rulebook.

506
00:36:57,023 --> 00:37:07,108
It is by far the most complex and it is the only one that can actively damage NPCs and the
systems around them.

507
00:37:08,449 --> 00:37:11,552
So here, yeah, it's wild.

508
00:37:11,552 --> 00:37:16,783
I wondered about that because that's an interesting idea that the therapist takes on the
harm.

509
00:37:17,077 --> 00:37:24,809
that you can damage your therapist's sanity if you choose to tell the truth.

510
00:37:24,810 --> 00:37:38,094
Telling the truth to your therapist uh makes the therapy better for you at the risk of
your therapist, one, becoming harmed, two, not believing you, and three, becoming a threat

511
00:37:38,094 --> 00:37:39,415
to Delta Green.

512
00:37:39,675 --> 00:37:40,585
What?

513
00:37:42,235 --> 00:37:44,517
are you doing?

514
00:37:44,838 --> 00:37:52,157
First, are you truthfully telling your therapist the activities that caused you to lose
sanity?

515
00:37:54,130 --> 00:38:04,679
You know, think that he, because, so, I'm just gonna be real with what I think Leon would
do, because I think that he is not meaning to do any of this stuff, and then the minute it

516
00:38:04,679 --> 00:38:12,185
gets down this rabbit hole of talking about control, I even think it's probably because
they start talking about all the shit that he's got in his background as a way to get in

517
00:38:12,185 --> 00:38:23,894
with him, and then they, yeah, and he's like, you know, this one, this was Paulson this is
his father, died with this, and I bought it, you know, right before.

518
00:38:24,136 --> 00:38:27,930
You know, and he's like showing off all these different like tchotchkes.

519
00:38:28,025 --> 00:38:38,764
I I think there's this moment, he has trophies, there's this moment where like his eyes
like almost glaze over and it becomes, he just starts like saying like the actual like

520
00:38:38,764 --> 00:38:40,025
weird shit that he's seen.

521
00:38:40,025 --> 00:38:41,346
um

522
00:38:41,440 --> 00:38:44,188
So yeah, you're gonna tell the truth.

523
00:38:44,188 --> 00:38:48,259
um Is...

524
00:38:50,003 --> 00:38:54,848
Yeah, give me a s- what do you think?

525
00:38:54,848 --> 00:39:01,134
Uh, are you paying for a high quality therapist?

526
00:39:01,134 --> 00:39:02,505
Your teledoc?

527
00:39:03,058 --> 00:39:07,360
Yeah, I, know, initially I had thought about like, was it like a better help kind of
thing?

528
00:39:07,360 --> 00:39:12,483
You know, like, um, not to denigrate anybody, but like, you know, is it somebody that
you're paying for that you have no idea?

529
00:39:12,483 --> 00:39:23,869
But my sense is, that if it's like HR and the corporate director uh position requiring
this, they have somebody on retainer who is probably used to hearing fucked up stuff,

530
00:39:24,530 --> 00:39:24,850
right?

531
00:39:24,850 --> 00:39:25,810
Very highly paid.

532
00:39:25,810 --> 00:39:33,174
Maybe not the fucked up stuff that, you know, Leon's going to dump on them, but definitely
at least like, you know, bad stuff.

533
00:39:34,164 --> 00:39:37,496
enough for him to be able to say, what am I paying you for?

534
00:39:37,496 --> 00:39:38,477
Right?

535
00:39:38,477 --> 00:39:40,295
Like, what are we really paying you for?

536
00:39:41,727 --> 00:39:44,806
Yeah, so first give me Persuade.

537
00:39:45,807 --> 00:39:47,736
That's a 21 on an 80.

538
00:39:47,736 --> 00:39:55,233
Okay, ah yeah, the therapist believes you about the things you've seen and the things
you're telling her.

539
00:39:55,233 --> 00:39:56,776
um

540
00:39:57,777 --> 00:40:04,179
Yeah, give me a 75 % psychotherapy roll.

541
00:40:05,180 --> 00:40:07,720
22 on a 75.

542
00:40:09,192 --> 00:40:10,466
is that a critical success?

543
00:40:10,466 --> 00:40:11,419
It is.

544
00:40:13,745 --> 00:40:15,028
Yeah, wow.

545
00:40:15,028 --> 00:40:19,359
Okay, you get six sand back up to your limit.

546
00:40:19,359 --> 00:40:20,911
How far were you down?

547
00:40:21,400 --> 00:40:26,940
Okay, so we discussed this and I don't know what you think about this and what everybody
else thinks about this.

548
00:40:26,940 --> 00:40:29,380
My current was 37.

549
00:40:29,740 --> 00:40:33,940
It says 40, but then in the rules it says the max is 99.

550
00:40:33,940 --> 00:40:36,660
Do you guys play that you can go over the 40 or not?

551
00:40:36,660 --> 00:40:38,180
I don't really care at all.

552
00:40:38,180 --> 00:40:41,140
So I'm just happy to have some sanity back.

553
00:40:42,128 --> 00:40:45,196
I don't know that the rules say the max is 99.

554
00:40:47,482 --> 00:40:48,179
I either.

555
00:40:48,179 --> 00:40:49,812
I thought I looked this up.

556
00:40:49,812 --> 00:40:54,310
Well, it sounds like we also don't know that the rules say that the max is your starting
value.

557
00:40:54,310 --> 00:40:58,680
Therapy cannot increase sanity beyond the agent's power times 5.

558
00:40:58,680 --> 00:41:00,461
perfect, okay, cool, that sounds good.

559
00:41:01,181 --> 00:41:02,222
Okay, cool.

560
00:41:02,222 --> 00:41:11,967
That maximum sanity on the AutoCalc sheet trips me up because it's like your mythos, yeah,
because it's like your mythos minus your, or your 100 minus your mythos.

561
00:41:11,967 --> 00:41:13,288
So, okay, cool.

562
00:41:13,288 --> 00:41:14,026
Well, that's.

563
00:41:14,026 --> 00:41:14,377
true.

564
00:41:14,377 --> 00:41:27,130
Your max sanity can never be higher than 100 minus your unnatural skill, which is true,
but not helpful.

565
00:41:27,927 --> 00:41:29,789
Okay, so I get three back.

566
00:41:30,791 --> 00:41:31,652
Yes.

567
00:41:32,085 --> 00:41:34,329
then, do you suffer from a disorder?

568
00:41:35,296 --> 00:41:36,910
yeah, I did, didn't I?

569
00:41:37,415 --> 00:41:38,338
Did you?

570
00:41:39,283 --> 00:41:44,820
No, no, no, no, we yeah because every time I rolled I had that

571
00:41:45,307 --> 00:41:46,926
It should be written on your sheet.

572
00:41:47,652 --> 00:41:49,935
Yeah, Megalomania, that's right.

573
00:41:49,956 --> 00:41:50,816
Yep.

574
00:41:51,879 --> 00:41:53,042
Holy shit.

575
00:41:53,042 --> 00:41:58,647
from a disorder or critical success on a therapy role, cures it.

576
00:41:59,536 --> 00:42:00,638
My god.

577
00:42:01,804 --> 00:42:03,129
Leon is healed.

578
00:42:03,129 --> 00:42:04,889
This was a laying on hands.

579
00:42:04,889 --> 00:42:06,171
is maybe not a good thing.

580
00:42:06,171 --> 00:42:12,057
Your agent develops a bond with the therapist equal to half your agent's charisma.

581
00:42:13,571 --> 00:42:14,651
Cool.

582
00:42:16,174 --> 00:42:16,805
I love that.

583
00:42:16,805 --> 00:42:20,780
Okay, do we wanna just make up a name for the therapist or should I just write therapist?

584
00:42:21,803 --> 00:42:22,723
Okay.

585
00:42:24,730 --> 00:42:26,974
McKinsey Stillwater.

586
00:42:29,840 --> 00:42:31,765
to write therapist.

587
00:42:32,932 --> 00:42:33,674
Yeah.

588
00:42:33,674 --> 00:42:35,478
uh

589
00:42:35,478 --> 00:42:36,947
What's her slogan?

590
00:42:36,947 --> 00:42:38,958
Your mind will be still as well.

591
00:42:38,958 --> 00:42:39,876
Yeah, there we go.

592
00:42:39,876 --> 00:42:41,608
Still water, still mined.

593
00:42:43,514 --> 00:42:46,498
Is that a half round up or down?

594
00:42:47,584 --> 00:42:49,284
It sounds good, eight.

595
00:42:49,533 --> 00:43:03,769
uh Write cured next to the disorder on your character sheet But do not erase it the next
time you gain a disorder you must roll another secondary sand test if that fails the cured

596
00:43:03,769 --> 00:43:08,181
disorder returns in full force alongside the new one

597
00:43:08,252 --> 00:43:08,698
Okay, cool.

598
00:43:08,698 --> 00:43:10,196
m

599
00:43:11,645 --> 00:43:17,957
uh Last but not least, can you make a sand check for Dr.

600
00:43:17,957 --> 00:43:19,540
Stillwater for me?

601
00:43:19,540 --> 00:43:22,485
That's going to be a 65%.

602
00:43:24,220 --> 00:43:26,200
37 on a 65.

603
00:43:26,240 --> 00:43:27,700
Fuck yes!

604
00:43:27,760 --> 00:43:29,100
Holy shit.

605
00:43:29,231 --> 00:43:31,291
Okay, yeah, no.

606
00:43:31,536 --> 00:43:32,922
pretty good downtime.

607
00:43:32,922 --> 00:43:35,185
Yeah, that's pretty good for Leon.

608
00:43:35,399 --> 00:43:39,664
Downtime is really important for characters' survivability between missions.

609
00:43:40,246 --> 00:43:46,625
Can Morrison maybe uh send a message to Mole or send him a link to a message board about
flamethrowers?

610
00:43:48,374 --> 00:43:49,937
Antique flamethrowers.

611
00:43:49,937 --> 00:43:50,831
Yeah.

612
00:43:52,150 --> 00:43:54,675
Hey, you can really screw some guys on here.

613
00:43:55,199 --> 00:43:58,496
Buy some of them flamethrowers with all your BlackRock money.

614
00:44:00,692 --> 00:44:01,274
I'm kidding.

615
00:44:01,274 --> 00:44:02,058
You don't have to.

616
00:44:02,058 --> 00:44:03,381
You can say no.

617
00:44:04,382 --> 00:44:06,555
Nick, your mic is doing that thing again.

618
00:44:06,685 --> 00:44:08,646
Yeah, what the hell, Nick?

619
00:44:09,408 --> 00:44:10,729
I don't know.

620
00:44:10,889 --> 00:44:16,763
It's so strange because there's no ambient noise other than my PC, which is like uh far
away.

621
00:44:16,763 --> 00:44:18,951
So I don't get it.

622
00:44:18,951 --> 00:44:22,429
like room tone, quite honestly.

623
00:44:22,429 --> 00:44:24,985
Like just the tone that you get in like a room.

624
00:44:24,985 --> 00:44:27,911
And so I feel like it's maybe just gain.

625
00:44:29,795 --> 00:44:33,166
It's like I'm on like one game right now.

626
00:44:33,166 --> 00:44:35,840
wild, because I have to turn my gain all the way up for this.

627
00:44:35,840 --> 00:44:39,835
And I feel like I may be quiet for you guys here talking you.

628
00:44:39,976 --> 00:44:40,777
mean.

629
00:44:40,871 --> 00:44:45,895
at like half and above and it's like, yeah, never been like this.

630
00:44:45,895 --> 00:44:46,598
I don't know.

631
00:44:46,598 --> 00:44:50,709
uh Jimmy, does Morrison want...

632
00:44:50,709 --> 00:44:55,281
You can totally ask Mull to buy you an expensive gun.

633
00:44:55,781 --> 00:45:06,125
And it's going to work exactly the same way, because if you piss off your teammate by
asking to borrow $5,000, go for it, man.

634
00:45:06,125 --> 00:45:08,165
Yeah, totally, I'm here for that.

635
00:45:08,165 --> 00:45:10,486
Absolutely send that text.

636
00:45:11,260 --> 00:45:14,306
I'll just send him a link to uh, I'm not gonna ask.

637
00:45:14,306 --> 00:45:22,273
I just know that this is Yeah, I just know that this is like a proclivity that he has and
I'm like, hey flamethrower message board

638
00:45:23,274 --> 00:45:24,912
What are you gonna do with that, Sam?

639
00:45:24,979 --> 00:45:37,282
think Mole is going to click it and then start browsing and if there is anything on there
that he seems like he can harm someone else with, um yeah, then he's gonna do it.

640
00:45:37,282 --> 00:45:39,341
All right, Jimmy, roll straight luck.

641
00:45:39,341 --> 00:45:40,428
oh, sorry.

642
00:45:40,553 --> 00:45:41,633
You

643
00:45:42,031 --> 00:45:45,013
ah No, that's a 63.

644
00:45:45,554 --> 00:45:51,957
No, these are weirdos and they're all doing like weird kind of scammy things.

645
00:45:52,113 --> 00:45:53,954
Yeah, soft sit people.

646
00:45:55,115 --> 00:45:57,676
Not to say the soft sits weird, I am one, so.

647
00:46:02,599 --> 00:46:06,601
I'm gonna let you guess which one if I'm the soft sitter mole is.

648
00:46:08,905 --> 00:46:10,010
Yikes.

649
00:46:10,427 --> 00:46:12,720
I don't know if a corporate lawyer could be as soft set.

650
00:46:12,720 --> 00:46:15,233
That doesn't uh quite line up.

651
00:46:15,605 --> 00:46:26,095
It might formal if he's like, yeah, he's like, he's like, I understand these laws and I
use them to harm people and better my situation, but they don't actually apply to me.

652
00:46:27,343 --> 00:46:28,675
I maybe, kind of.

653
00:46:28,675 --> 00:46:31,739
God, I'm playing a real piece of shit, I'm sorry guys.

654
00:46:31,893 --> 00:46:35,604
It was like you gave me a chance to be a character and I just said fuck it, huh?

655
00:46:35,742 --> 00:46:36,881
Yeah, we.

656
00:46:36,881 --> 00:46:37,662
you.

657
00:46:37,846 --> 00:46:39,989
And Jimmy's the best guy we've ever met.

658
00:46:39,989 --> 00:46:42,672
Yeah, I guess that's true, right?

659
00:46:43,274 --> 00:46:45,476
The yin and yang of hand on the door.

660
00:46:46,858 --> 00:46:51,876
I do love at the top, I read when you get me your character, I read the name.

661
00:46:51,928 --> 00:46:55,544
And I was like, please do not roleplay this.

662
00:46:57,426 --> 00:46:58,961
I cannot handle it.

663
00:46:59,750 --> 00:47:01,405
And so far you haven't.

664
00:47:01,488 --> 00:47:02,601
okay, cool.

665
00:47:03,730 --> 00:47:05,414
Just wait till I get my ketamine.

666
00:47:05,524 --> 00:47:06,363
God.

667
00:47:08,021 --> 00:47:10,331
Why do you think I'm working on pharmacy?

668
00:47:10,569 --> 00:47:12,509
Yeah, fuck yeah

669
00:47:12,969 --> 00:47:14,572
That's the end game here.

670
00:47:14,572 --> 00:47:17,335
The end game is to get the ketamine.

671
00:47:17,856 --> 00:47:20,159
Get the ketamine, get the girl.

672
00:47:23,887 --> 00:47:28,767
Well, if can I'm gonna go get some water if that's okay Take a break.

673
00:47:28,767 --> 00:47:30,259
Okay.

674
00:47:31,483 --> 00:47:33,898
Oh He's back I'm still gonna get water if that's okay

675
00:47:33,898 --> 00:47:37,511
We're going to grab a cup of water, but Nick, let me see if I can hear your.

676
00:47:38,512 --> 00:47:40,303
Yeah, there's a little ambience.

677
00:47:41,621 --> 00:47:42,468
Yeah.

678
00:47:42,568 --> 00:47:45,495
I don't know what there is to do about it.

679
00:47:45,495 --> 00:47:47,893
Like, you know, stay muted when you're not talking, I guess.

680
00:47:47,893 --> 00:47:49,690
Yeah, sure, weird.

681
00:47:50,443 --> 00:47:51,322
Sorry.

682
00:47:52,323 --> 00:47:53,898
All right, I'll be right back.

683
00:47:54,899 --> 00:48:07,449
and so I finished uh Buffalo Hunter Hunter yesterday is good yeah it's a book and it's
excellent

684
00:48:07,802 --> 00:48:08,981
What's it about?

685
00:48:09,899 --> 00:48:12,060
Uh, it's about this.

686
00:48:13,802 --> 00:48:23,020
yes, I actually listened to the audio book for this one and they did some cool stuff with
it, but essentially it's a lady who gets contacted because somebody finds a journal from

687
00:48:23,020 --> 00:48:30,486
her like great, great, great grandpa who was a pastor, uh, on like a frontier church in, I
think it was Wyoming or Montana.

688
00:48:30,486 --> 00:48:39,423
I don't remember which, um, but, uh, she reads through this journal and it's his account
of like stuff that happened at the church.

689
00:48:39,763 --> 00:48:41,392
and it's really good.

690
00:48:41,392 --> 00:48:43,184
Cool, maybe I'll check it out.

691
00:48:44,187 --> 00:48:51,958
Hey, Sam, I had a couple of questions about how Mull is spending his pandemic.

692
00:48:53,001 --> 00:48:56,736
Do your wife and kids know you're down there in the therapy basement?

693
00:48:58,521 --> 00:49:00,042
That's a good question.

694
00:49:00,722 --> 00:49:02,743
Yeah, I think so.

695
00:49:02,743 --> 00:49:14,236
um I think that probably in the first couple months, maybe the first couple months of the
pandemic, when flights and stuff were shut down, when I couldn't go anywhere, because

696
00:49:14,236 --> 00:49:17,987
they're used to me being gone constantly, I would say, like in and out of their lives.

697
00:49:18,067 --> 00:49:26,249
I think there was this period of time where we tried to pretend like we were like a family
that like knew each other and did stuff.

698
00:49:26,513 --> 00:49:35,640
And then that quickly unraveled the minute I was like exposed they were exposed to me and
I was exposed to them for like a continuous period of time You know what mean?

699
00:49:35,640 --> 00:49:46,237
um So that probably took a couple weeks, maybe a month uh And then we went through the
stages of just fighting with each other constantly And then finally I kind of just retired

700
00:49:46,237 --> 00:49:54,447
down to the basement where I've been pursuing stuff um So I think that they are like
nebulously aware

701
00:49:54,447 --> 00:50:00,240
that I had to undergo some therapy for something that I did, you know, in the prior, right
before the pandemic started.

702
00:50:00,240 --> 00:50:04,252
But I wouldn't say that they're like fully aware of what I'm doing down there.

703
00:50:04,252 --> 00:50:11,925
And now at this point, it's like, em I'm imagining it's like we are doing the things that
polite society requires of us.

704
00:50:11,925 --> 00:50:13,406
So we'll have like dinner together.

705
00:50:13,406 --> 00:50:20,099
Maybe we have like our chef make dinner and do stuff, but otherwise we're not spending a
whole lot of time with each other.

706
00:50:21,326 --> 00:50:28,372
With your megalomania cured, how does your behavior change?

707
00:50:29,441 --> 00:50:30,222
that's a good point.

708
00:50:30,222 --> 00:50:31,303
um think so.

709
00:50:31,303 --> 00:50:37,607
So we'll say because we I said it was like a couple sessions in and we were doing like a
session maybe every week or something like that.

710
00:50:37,607 --> 00:50:50,686
So we'll say that like two months into the pandemic, then I after we have this kind of
breakthrough, I start reevaluating other people, I guess in general, right, that people

711
00:50:50,686 --> 00:50:51,687
exist outside of me.

712
00:50:51,687 --> 00:50:53,978
I lose a little bit that solipsism.

713
00:50:53,978 --> 00:50:57,881
um And that's when he

714
00:50:58,777 --> 00:51:01,918
breaks from his cave and his cave is still like got a bed.

715
00:51:01,918 --> 00:51:02,819
It's got like a shower.

716
00:51:02,819 --> 00:51:04,229
It's got like its own like mini kitchen.

717
00:51:04,229 --> 00:51:17,124
I mean, it's like a giant like, like area, like basement that he could basically live out
of, I think comes upstairs um and actually takes his Atticus and Tiffany out to like fish

718
00:51:17,124 --> 00:51:20,406
for the first time, something that maybe they did years and years ago.

719
00:51:20,406 --> 00:51:22,937
Cause Atticus is 15 and Tiffany's 13.

720
00:51:22,937 --> 00:51:28,599
um So when they were younger, maybe four or five, he would take them out fishing.

721
00:51:29,625 --> 00:51:37,618
he has this like spark of insight or this moment of like understanding that like these
people exist outside of him and are actually like beholden to him.

722
00:51:37,618 --> 00:51:46,332
And it goes pretty awkwardly I'd imagine, cause you know, he's basically been gone for the
last like nine years of their life more or less.

723
00:51:46,332 --> 00:51:54,876
um But it's that like maybe beginning I think of like a relationship sparking again
because he's able to talk to them about like school.

724
00:51:54,876 --> 00:51:57,113
You know, he's like, well, how are you even going to school?

725
00:51:57,113 --> 00:51:58,684
zooms, you know, a thing or whatever.

726
00:51:58,684 --> 00:52:00,606
And he's finally learning some of these details.

727
00:52:00,606 --> 00:52:02,858
And that's like maybe the first kind of spark we see.

728
00:52:02,858 --> 00:52:11,709
em And then maybe there is like a small scene where his wife uh sees him bringing them
both in.

729
00:52:11,709 --> 00:52:15,188
And there's like this moment of like maybe connection there.

730
00:52:15,313 --> 00:52:19,842
I don't know how long lasting that's going to be given where he is.

731
00:52:19,842 --> 00:52:25,857
But there is that kind of moment where she sees, you know, the guy that she married like
15 years ago.

732
00:52:26,246 --> 00:52:28,428
Yeah, awesome, I love it.

733
00:52:28,469 --> 00:52:32,654
That all sounds great to me.

734
00:52:33,655 --> 00:52:40,258
So let's jump into the scenario itself.

735
00:52:41,158 --> 00:52:49,035
It is the evening of August 15th, 2020.

736
00:52:49,182 --> 00:52:55,244
You all receive a summons in your usual ways.

737
00:52:55,244 --> 00:53:01,493
So Morrison finds rolled up instructions in a

738
00:53:01,493 --> 00:53:08,363
the hollow of a tree on one of its roots after going through several trail closed signs.

739
00:53:08,363 --> 00:53:10,287
um

740
00:53:12,007 --> 00:53:21,932
Mull gets an encrypted email, if I recall correctly, and has to dial in from the red phone
in his basement.

741
00:53:21,932 --> 00:53:26,764
uh Miles, how does Miles get contacted?

742
00:53:26,764 --> 00:53:28,711
It's a dead drop, right?

743
00:53:28,711 --> 00:53:32,286
it's a dead drop on his run route in Seward Park.

744
00:53:33,655 --> 00:53:49,226
All right, he picks up his instructions and uh Magpie goes ahead and receives an encoded
Morse communication from the robotic baby robins that they installed uh in his, not his

745
00:53:49,226 --> 00:53:51,959
backyard, he lives on a houseboat on his roof.

746
00:53:53,316 --> 00:53:56,350
Yeah, it's not the most convenient, but it gets the job done.

747
00:53:57,601 --> 00:54:03,638
At this point, how do you feel about the robotic bird's nest on your roof?

748
00:54:04,528 --> 00:54:14,774
em Well, it's more about like fending off the questions from strangers about the
unseasonable times that they seem to be nesting, I suppose.

749
00:54:14,774 --> 00:54:19,536
em But I'm not a what ornithologist.

750
00:54:19,536 --> 00:54:24,339
em So I don't have to answer too many of them.

751
00:54:24,419 --> 00:54:25,690
And it goes OK for me.

752
00:54:25,690 --> 00:54:28,201
I don't feel like it's been going off too much.

753
00:54:28,201 --> 00:54:33,604
Like when was the last time I even had to pay them any mind?

754
00:54:33,867 --> 00:54:35,089
Yeah, sure.

755
00:54:36,373 --> 00:54:37,494
All right.

756
00:54:39,147 --> 00:54:42,788
You get a message, all of you, from Agent Madison.

757
00:54:43,368 --> 00:54:55,452
She has called you to meet her at the Anacortes Ferry Terminal, 8 a.m., August 16th,
tomorrow.

758
00:54:56,153 --> 00:54:59,954
It is 8 p.m., August 15th now.

759
00:54:59,954 --> 00:55:03,185
What are you telling your families, if anything?

760
00:55:04,186 --> 00:55:11,586
Yeah, I would say, hey, I gotta go do a nuclear inspection on site in out in Richmond.

761
00:55:11,686 --> 00:55:13,326
So it might be a few days.

762
00:55:13,326 --> 00:55:22,506
I'll call you as soon as I know, you know how these things go and give her a hug and a
kiss and kiss my son on his forehead and get on the road.

763
00:55:23,507 --> 00:55:38,460
em I'll talk to my sister uh and tell her that her misdeeds actually landed me a spot uh
on a panel uh and I'm talking uh at a pharmaceuticals conference em over in such-and-such

764
00:55:38,501 --> 00:55:41,283
and em I'll be back whenever I demo it please.

765
00:55:41,700 --> 00:55:47,343
She's surprised, ah but is actually really supportive.

766
00:55:47,425 --> 00:55:51,274
That's really cool to see you getting out there like that.

767
00:55:51,473 --> 00:55:52,025
Yeah, well thanks.

768
00:55:52,025 --> 00:55:55,596
It feels good to have something, you know, real going again.

769
00:55:58,643 --> 00:55:59,063
Yeah.

770
00:55:59,063 --> 00:56:06,439
Morrison tells his wife, uh, I forgot to mention this when I was kind of doing the
background on them, but I'd mentioned before he does do search and rescue as well.

771
00:56:06,439 --> 00:56:09,141
Kind of like back, you know, back country search and rescue.

772
00:56:09,141 --> 00:56:14,024
He tells his wife, you know, with COVID there's a lot of people interested in getting
outdoors.

773
00:56:14,024 --> 00:56:18,197
We've got a lot of people don't really know what they're doing going out on the mountain
for the first time.

774
00:56:18,197 --> 00:56:19,378
Somebody got lost.

775
00:56:19,378 --> 00:56:21,079
I got to go look for them.

776
00:56:21,419 --> 00:56:25,622
Hopefully be back in a couple of days, but you know, might be a little bit longer.

777
00:56:25,622 --> 00:56:26,963
We'll see how it goes.

778
00:56:27,964 --> 00:56:28,875
Sounds good.

779
00:56:29,241 --> 00:56:40,652
I Mull tells his wife um that we're trying a new uh retreat, nature retreat, amongst all
the corporate directors.

780
00:56:40,652 --> 00:56:43,485
I'll probably be gone a couple days at least.

781
00:56:44,767 --> 00:56:49,621
So don't expect me to come back anytime soon and then kind of pieces out.

782
00:56:50,756 --> 00:56:51,723
Alright.
