Thank you and welcome to our second time.
Game of Traveler, Sparks of the Past.
We are dealing with If the players win,
went to the Hall of Chosen Futures for a bureaucratic thing.
And while they were there,
there was a lot of odd suspicions why a group
of heavily armed people were all allowed at the same time.
While they were waiting to fill out their bureaucratic work,
Seemingly, all of their guns Substack.
But the bullet...
bullets went nowhere except into the body of a person they weren't aiming at.
We'll see you soon.
While they were all confused by these particular actions, Sam pulled police came Thank you.
Commissar of Social Solidarity.
They were asked to do that.
To submit,
and while that was occurring,
one of the characters was able to determine that they were going
to kill them all off.
They We start a fight.
Fight, And through that, through the gunplay, eventually All of you look.
Local police are killed.
A police mech comes up where Thank you very much.
Neighborhood robot of the party was able to shoot out the pilot of it.
They were able to jump into the mech, jump out of the building, And Eskipen.
Into a waiting car that was belonging to a Thank you very much.
A syndicate member of the Jardin syndicate who got them I'm in a secluded...
secluded away place expressing that But they knew that that there was a conspiracy
against them And then through...
Thank you.
Through helping them out they may eventually be able to find the people
who perpetuated this conspiracy against them.
They gave these There's veils that they could...
could cover their face with that would digitize other faces on there that would last
a few days to at least let them and kind of find
I'm going to find some some safe location.
They were able to find an old dilapidated warehouse That is off the ground.
The grid for now.
And many of the characters were able to You get packages.
Packages or other things from We'll see you next time.
Connections.
After that occurred, they are all in the warehouse.
They've all kind of gotten back together.
And they have to think about what they're going to do.
Many individual players, contacts, Contacts are out.
Allies told them different things.
Substack.
If they can get an ID that they could get transport to other planets,
that if they can get access to the Transar sector,
they'd be away from current military law,
that there is a hidden spaceboat under the ocean nearby,
and they could go back to the leader of the Syndicate,
And, uh...
A uplifted dog.
Dolphin,
who assisted them in the the beginning and worked with for him,
and he would be able to assist them in finding out more answers to the mysteries
of what they're doing.
While all the players are waking up the next day,
I'm going to let everyone kind of have a bit of a conversation of So now we've...
we're no longer in the rush of adrenaline.
I will want to remind Annette that you have We have one more day of power.
Power before you need to charge.
Because you are not in a ship or an organized charge port.
So that's going to be a plan you've got to be thinking of.
Okay.
Would anyone like to begin?
I just want to confirm I can be heard real quick.
You can be heard.
Yes.
Oh, thank God.
I kept trying to speak,
and then somebody else would speak,
and I'd be like,
oh, okay, and I'd wait, and then I would speak again, And somebody else is speaking.
Speak, and I'd be like, oh, okay, I'll wait.
And then it got to the point where I thought you guys were doing a purpose,
and then it was like, okay, you guys just can't hear me.
No, we would hear you for like two seconds, and then you'd be gone.
But now Well, you're solid.
Solid.
Thank you.
Okay, well, then you're hurting me.
Thank you very much.
I will bring that up As something I was like, like, hi, new friends.
I'm going to need to charge up soon.
Does anyone have anywhere where I could maybe Let me borrow some juice.
Juice?
Substack.
Thank you.
Does the warehouse have anything
like that?
No.
So the level of energy that you're requiring is You know, you're normally going to...
to be charging like the mechs or the heavy vehicles or I'm going to go ahead
and see you next time.
Into spaceships.
The easiest metaphor would be how difficult it is to, let's say, charge an electric car.
You need to either have infrastructure wired or you need to go
to fairly overt public places That's where you can charge.
Charge.
So Kind of, you can...
If you could try to start...
Here, or you could Thank to find some other method,
but But it is not like there is a plug on every street corner.
Thank you very much.
Probably, if we don't have any active solutions, we might be able to find
someone
Like, uh...
Uh, a port.
Port that we could maybe pay or bribe for access to juice.
No?
Did you say mechanic capability?
Yes, someone with a mechanic capability could attempt to.
I say that this isn't an immediate emergency,
it's just something that's got to come up within the next day.
That seems It's rather immediate.
Immediate, So,
considering theâ€” considering the amount of time it might take in order
to secure your power, which you probably prioritize.
But Let's work it into
plan A.
We can also kind of organize so you can understand what it is.
As long as you're not doing combat, you have three days of charge.
If you're doing combat, that takes a day of charge.
Good.
You're You're muted, Ellen.
Alan.
Thank you very much.
I say I'm happy to help when you really need it. If If you bring it up.
Do you bring it up?
Yeah, I talked to everyone.
Everybody about it.
I'm also offering some help.
I also...
I am pretty good.
And I'm I don't know.
Going to say I'm a full-fledged grease monkey, but I am familiar with some mechanics.
Well, I say let's Let's not panic about
About this at this moment.
Let's talk about where we can get safe.
And then just keep that in mind for when we start evaluating our next move.
That if we hunker down, I'd like to plug in.
Mm-hmm .
So a lot happened, right?
Substack.
Um, and - we had that talk.
Should we...
Who wants to clear their name completely?
Thank you.
All right.
I believe most of us do.
Patrick, can you ping on the map where we are, like, right now in terms of the city?
Yeah, I would say you're in the general blank area because you're trying to be off the name.
Okay.
But, um...
So then we have a few choices how to do it, right?
Like, we could work with these people.
All right.
And I look at Emma,
and
you're the Intelligent.
Intelligence person From SoulSack.
SoulSec.
Do you have any thoughts on this?
Thank you.
I probably shouldn't have given your cover away.
Thank you.
It is what it is.
Um...
Thank you very much.
So there's two minds when we're dealing with this Dollfeed.
'Alphine.
Dolphine That's a good individual.
So, he could potentially...
potentially ask us to do something illegal, which Only compromise.
Compromises the fact of trying to clear our names.
But he is a very solid lead into gaining access to information that we would need
to clear our names.
That said, we also did attack a bunch of security guards to get out.
So that's going to be a It's a dark spot on
On our
records.
But I mean, it was us or them.
They're shooting innocent bystanders, so I don't really feel bad about them.
It's very true.
I'm looking around for coffee.
Thank you.
That's self-defense, What happened to you?
That's what happened to us.
Us.
I mean, And yeah, we...
yeah, we might get a bum rap at the end of this for defending ourselves,
but I'd rather go down with
Down for a crime I actually committed than a And Crime, I Only Got a...
got accused of committing.
That being said, And yeah, the Dolphins...
dolphin guy, if he says He wants us to go out.
Go off and do We're going to do crazy things that we are doing.
Are morally against, Yeah, then we don't need to do that.
Don't do that.
If he wants us to deliver a couple of packages that And he's going to,
you know, that we don't have.
That we don't know what's in it.
In the package, something like that, that's a
I don't know.
The misdemeanourâ€™ misdemeanor.
I'd rather have one of those than being sent away for murder.
Here's my only concern.
I might have watched too manyâ€”
True crime vids.
But once we have received the job, it could almost be too late to deny it, right?
Because we know too much.
Thank you.
Thank you very much.
I think maybe our That's our first best step.
Step would be to gather what information we can on our own and determine
if we need such resources in order to proceed.
There is also the second,
the third option
of going to, I apologize, Patrick, what was it called?
The military zone or the free Great military stuff.
Zone?
TransStar is a corporation that is separated from the normal military.
I appreciate that.
A lot of stuff. You are having feedback, Carla?
So if you look at the map, it's kind of in the bottom middle.
Um...
Hold on.
I got it.
Bottom middle.
Trans-star sector.
Oh, I see it right there.
Yeah.
Okay.
Going back into character,
I say there's an opportunity for us to go So, we're going to go into a sector.
Sector of the city which basically acts as an embassy.
And the military would not be able to reach us in there.
But it would severely hinder our ability to figure out a way You can know what happened.
Happened.
But it would be safer.
Mayhaps we find an entrance and exit to that house to set up ourselves a safe house
and find charging for our safety while,
you know,
Moving in and out of the grander city so that we can work to clear our Thank you
for your name.
Name.
Thank you.
Patrick, do I know anything about this sector?
Because it was my contact that gave me the information.
Yeah.
Give me a second.
Like, is that something that would be viable?
Yeah.
Do you have, give me a roll.
Role that would imply you having that data or research.
Let me open my character sheet.
Okay.
Well, it could be Admin,
it could be
Carouse if it was something I learned at a party,
although Carouse is more active.
Admin, okay.
Okay.
And I apologize, I don't add anything.
It's a role type normal,
it's a difficulty, eight plus, average, all that stuff
is typical, right?
Yes.
Thank you.
Nuts.
I don't know anything.
Rolling rocks.
I volunteer nothing either, because I don't know.
I'm like, that's an idea.
Mm-hmm.
Well, if that's going to be the plan, covert means of getting us to this place becomes a
It's a long trek across the city.
Either we start walking now as a group that is somewhat suspicious -looking,
or we have to obtain some kind of vehicle to get us there.
Um...
Probably trans so we can divide up and...
Yeah, that's what I was going to say, too.
We could probably rent cabs and just go in smaller groups.
You also still have the Veils.
Do you guys have another day of the Veil,
but cameras and stuff can't see who you are.
Mm-hmm.
Thank you.
Fair enough, and I recognize that.
I just was also thinking, like, hey, there's now You know, seven people...
walking together in one large group, huh, with a giant robot.
Wasn't there something
on the news?
Thank you.
I almost wonder if we should do some reconnaissance
with gaining as much info as we can.
Thank you very much.
Yeah, putting the, with the
veils, I think, uh...
right, how about this for An idea, a plan.
Plan?
We have We have a good role.
I'm a robotic friend here.
Here that's going to need some juice.
We're going to need to gain some intel,
and we're traveling all together, we'd have to We'd be quite suspicious anyway.
What if we He broke out into...
into two, maybe three teams?
One team goes with
With the robot, gets them charged.
That should be a fairly safe activity.
Uh, in the veils.
Veils, we have two or three of us sit I'll see you next time.
The genetics.
Office to see what investigators are going in and out there.
Even if we start learning the names of the officers who are investigating this,
That gives us an That's not an avenue of personalization.
Maybe to talk to down the road, etc.
Um, and - And then a third team maybe getting other supplies,
accoutrements, cash, reloads for our guns, etc.
Uh...
And a third team is, you know, the shopping team.
And then we all reconnect seven hours from now.
I had a similar it sounds like a good idea to me.
Does it sound workable to everybody else?
Yeah, I think that's a good plan.
I can go and stand in front of the Thank you.
Building, Thank you very much.
Genetic building.
I don't know why that word wouldn't come out of my mouth.
And see what kind of traffic is going in and out.
So I can definitely do that.
I would suggest that Uh,
we do not travel - alone in this,
that we make sure that each team at least has two people on it,
Someone to help with
Watch each other's backs.
I can go with Emma to do that to reconnaissance.
Yeah.
I look at uh...
is it Saichi.
Soshi.
Yep.
Soshi.
Yep, Soshi.
I'm happy to come with you if you need mechanical assistance.
Thank you.
All right, yeah, I just,
you know,
wherever I I'm just hungry,
and then probably probably going to be there for a little bit.
So I'm hoping that That's what it works with, works.
Works out with the plan.
I like to talk.
You won't be bored.
Well, Rules check.
How long does it take to
get back to full charge?
Um, it's...
it depends on how fast the charger is.
Like, if you try to, like, just He's hijacked like a...
a wall plug, it's gonna take a long time.
If you, like, go to a tank charger, you'll be dead in five minutes.
Oh, okay.
Cool.
Nice.
Super fast chargers.
Yeah.
USB-C compatible.
Like, I feel hot.
My battery got hot.
I I know a guy at the start.
Starport, but I think they may be really looking
for us there.
That's my only...
Yeah.
And just so everyone understands, all the locations We'll see you next time.
The capital map have plot, concepts, backgrounds, whatever.
So if you see it there, You would have seen it.
Lived here for a while, you know these districts exist.
You could be like, oh, I'm interested in that.
You can do that.
Thank you for letting us know.
Yep.
All right.
So if Mark and Emma are going to the genetics building, Sochi And very...
Varian are going to get
So, I think that's what we're going to do.
Good question.
I get socially charged.
Charged, Uh, I guess uh...
It's Elias, Judas.
Judith, The three of us are all...
on shopping duty.
Sounds like a plan.
Thank you very much.
Emma and Mark?
I'm sorry, Colb's character.
Okay.
Fair enough.
Colb's in Discord, Colbs.
Colb's thing says Mark.
Ah, got it.
Okay.
So, and then...
Okay, and then Soshi is going with Alan.
Where are you guys going?
I was just about to try to figure that out.
Hmm.
What kind of supplies are we going to be trying to get?
I had to step away for a second, so I've missed some of it.
Sorry, I think this is Alan and Sochi who are deciding where to go.
Oh, And then...
Thank you.
Know, I wonder,
instead of hiding,
what if we go down plain in the open They might think we are hiding.
What if we go down
by Grand Access?
Where are you seeing Grand Access?
Oh, right in the
center, got it.
I think they'll think we're hiding, but we'll be in, you know...
Thank you very much.
They might forget we're hiding.
I'm going to try to refresh it,
but the icons are a little too big, so I've got to make the whole grid
bigger.
Thank you.
Let's go.
Thank you very much.
No, by the way around.
Okay.
So
if they're not going to go to the star ports and try to use my contact,
I would go with Emma and them to stake out the place.
Okay.
Wait, but Emma is going to the
genetics. Yeah.
Yeah.
Did you hear?
I'm sorry.
Yes, sir.
So she's not going where you're saying.
So who are you going with?
Oh, okay.
I'm sorry.
I wasn't clear enough.
I said, since they don't use my contact to see if they can find a good charging port
at Starr, at the star port.
Port, I would say go with Emma on her stakeout.
Oh, you want to go there's already okay.
Yeah, so it's me and Cass.
So, like, we've already,
like, I'm not saying
you can't go.
I'm just saying that we had a team.
But you want to be a part of that team, and I'm all here.
Okay.
So, now we're looking We'll see you next time.
We need one for I don't know.
Carla and Steinbach.
And I think Everyone else says it.
Has a group.
Okay, so,
Victor, what is it that we are on the
um,
So, if you look out to pick - pick up that might help decide where we go?
Well, my thought is some general supplies.
If we can find some, you know, Emily.
MREs, create those to just have wherever it is that we land.
And, you know...
You know, having some basic food, having And then a couple of relaunches.
Reloads for our guns, things that are going to be useful.
You know,
I might know a guy who could get us some basic radio gear so that Uh,
so that we could...
could listen in or at least be in communication with ourselves.
The basic kind of supplies that we're going to need to pull off anything.
To buy and acquire things, Corte St. LibertÃ©, Saint-LibertÃ© is like a commercial district.
That's up here.
Gotcha.
That sounds good to me.
And I'm finally home and I'm logging into the game, so I should be able to see this all shortly.
Okay.
He's going to put our Substack.
In the spot.
Okay.
Sounds good.
So we are going to first start with That's the top group.
Group of.
Laura Kolb and Damien.
Okay.
It is about an hour walk, or you could They could get a cab and be there.
There in five minutes.
I'm all for a cap.
Yeah, I'm for a cab as well, as long as it's a discreet cab.
Obviously, we can't ask, like, hey, are you a discreet driver?
You're not.
Move on.
They're like Johnny Caps.
They're automated cabs.
Oh, sweet.
Okay, then, yeah, we totally...
I'd totally take a cab.
Yeah.
Okay, so you guys get all... Oh, wait.
wait, wait.
How do we, how do we pay for it?
For it?
Um... Let's...
Uh...
Let's... I I will let people either do
a... A...
Streetwise, to have of like, some cash - cash off of the grids.
Or...
I will have a much harder admin role than you have someone else's, like, bus pass.
But...
the easy roll would be Streetwise.
The easy role would be Streetwise.
The harder role would be Ed.
Okay, I have Streetwise, but yeah.
I don't know.
Are we adding A?
An attribute or just straight Streetwise?
Uh...
It would be By Streetwise Intelligence.
Intelligence.
Okay.
And do you want to roll, Laura, as well?
Yep.
I'll also roll.
Thank you.
Yeah, hope... Hope you roll well!
Yeah!
That's a great... Yeah, you did.
And also, it makes sense that, like, the monkey has, like, other...
They're...
Other Uh, paperwork and other
Other stuff to get stuff through because he might not have been allowed
to use his own references and data.
So he has like...
picked up old bus passes and stuff and had them recoded.
And so he caches through and Uh, he gets a...
It's sent on the...
the Fast Fast.
That's what these cabs are called.
Fast Fast.
Thank you very much.
In five minutes, you are outside the Hall of Chosen Futures.
You see some scaffolding already up to repair the blown-out wall of the mech jumping through it.
Man, who did that?
But there is seemingly no police in front of the Hall of Chosen Futures,
but you are seeing Yeah.
I mean, honestly.
On the other side of the courtyard And the Palace of Contra.
Continuity, they are starting to I'm going to go ahead and do a preface.
Prep Uh, barricades.
Barricades and they're We're wheeling in.
In mechs to basically be there to be a police force.
But it's not near you, it's just you can see it across the courtyard.
Um, and - As an example of distances,
by the way,
imagine you guys are at the Washington Monument versus It's like the White House.
House.
It's a sizable distance away.
So that we're not seeing it all clumped together,
I would I really recommend that we we fan out a little bit.
Okay.
Get away.
You know, get away.
Away.
A little flavor, a little spice to the RP.
Um,
if If all those people would like to give me a recon roll, that would be grand.
All of us?
There's also recon plus intelligence.
All of us or the All the people in this group.
All right, let's go.
Okay.
I'm doing great.
Man, you are rocking it, Damien.
Yeah, you are.
So you notice that there is...
Substack.
A soul -sec person.
Person who is being harassed by a group Substack.
Social Solidarity.
Social Solidarity, that's like the FBI
or the Marshals?
Yes, it's It's the plan.
The Planet...
Planetary Issue Secret Police while Solsack is...
is the Nationwide International secret police.
Good.
Now, am I close enough to hear what's being said,
or are I just going to say that off in the distance?
You see it off in the distance.
I guess my big question is, are you alerting your fellow compatriots?
Thank you.
Yeah.
Yes, I am.
I have to go find him since we spread out.
I'm just going to nudge them and point.
I don't want to draw too much attention.
Okay.
You.
You give the wink.
Everyone gets your wink.
Excited monkey noises.
Thank you.
The Return of the Jedi nod.
All right.
Lightsaber flies out.
So now...
Um...
Are you guys going to do anything about it or use that as a distraction
to get deeper into The Hall of Chisholm Future.
Features?
I'm going to go get closer to the That's
the kerfuffle.
Kerfuffle to see if I can overhear what's kerfuffling.
Mopping the line?
Okay.
Um...
To get closer, Or you either have to...
have to do a streetwise or stealth roll.
Um, the Dixâ€”the diffâ€”uh...
The reference is dex,
not intelligence.
Bam, bam.
You get behind a pillar where the harassment is happening so you can hear everything
but are not seen by the people involved.
Um...
The person they're harassing is, they're like, hey, you know what?
We have right to get everything.
Evidence here.
You can't block us.
The nature of what is going on deals with a member of SolSec
and you completely blocking this is against your mandate and authority.
And the social solidarity people are like,
it happened in a Government building inside a planetary nature.
A government official of this particular planet was killed and assassinated by
a member of SolSec.
We cannot trust the nature of your There is no more access or authority.
Authority that it might go to.
Inappropriate elements against the nation and the solidarity of who we are.
And he's like, you can't bar me.
I'm SolSec.
And it begins to be a bit of a pushy match.
How close to the pillow that I'm at are they pushing each other?
Four or five feet.
A step or two.
What would pickpocket fall under?
Pickpocketing is a streetwise.
The way I've been rolling, I'm not confident enough in my abilities to get away with it.
Yeah, I got nothing right now.
Okay.
Laura or Damien, what would you like to do?
I'd like to hang back.
Do I recognize the guy who's throwing hands?
Like, is he someone important?
Or is he, like, also, could he be a potential contact?
I just, do I recognize him in any way?
I'll let you do an admin or advocate role to see if you recognize him.
Is it education or intelligence?
Education.
Okay.
Hey!
What'd you get?
I got an average success, which is better than what I've been rolling all night.
So, yes, you know this person.
Um, the - They are You're not a...
not Thank you.
A supervisor at SoulSec.
They are an investigator team kind of person.
Okay.
You...
You have had inter...
interactions with them before, but they were not in your direct chain of command.
Um...
His investigations Substack.
Seem to deal much more with corrupt alien biology that people were using
to juice themselves up.
He's a - Okay, so he's like an investigator, but he's being denied.
So he's not...
Probably investigating us.
I think it's a deeper thing.
What he's invested in...
investigating, he thinks what happened to you is somehow involved.
Okay.
So...
Thank you very much.
Since he's a person who is investigating people who are doing genetic crimes,
And this all of...
occurred...
At the Hall of Gym.
Genetics and a guy who was going to release genetic information was killed.
He thinks it's part of what he's working on.
Okay.
And he's trying to gain access on that merit alone.
Right.
Okay.
I just wanted to clarify that.
Or just confirm that.
Social solidarity is like, fuck off.
Because social solidarity is being the part of a Solstack operative.
Operative was involved in the killing.
We can't trust you.
Got it.
That's going to go down well.
Sorry, I apologize.
My big thrust was, I'm going to find it if I know him.
And now I'm like, okay, I do know him.
What am I going to do with that information?
Um, I guess I'll just...
note it for now.
Don't I?
I have a...
I have... Because I have the...
Where's my gear?
Equipment, rather.
Thank you very much.
Don't I have the There's a computer in my head.
Head that records shit?
Yes.
Substack.
Yeah, okay.
I will take note of that in my computer brain.
My add-on.
His name My name is Inspector.
Inspector Mark Vallor.
Valois.
Sorry, I'm trying to find the notes again.
Journal, there it is.
And I've put it in the main chat.
And there.
Okay.
Where are the notes?
I apologize.
I found So, I mean, we're not going to be able to do that.
Rim, Which is jarred.
Jarden.
That's not in Journal.
Thank you.
Thank you very much.
One second.
Create entry.
Sure.
Okay.
In general, there should be a Laura here.
Sweet.
All right.
I love Laura here.
Okay.
So we are now on Damien.
What are you going to do?
I am mainly going to try not to keep too much attention to myself.
I'm going to wait for him There's him to come back and tell us.
Us what he heard when he's dropping on him.
So honestly, you're not regarded.
And...
I
guess otherwise I'll
try to see...
So is it like Street Lies or Recon if I just want to see what else I can determine
about what's
going on around here?
Um...
We failed to Recon on them.
Uh, Uh, it's - if - If you want to Recon anything else,
Recon is anything that you want to look at But that is beyond...
beyond your For easy access.
Access.
Easy access is Investigation.
Um, and - And Streetwise normally Substack.
There's some type of...
of kind of underworld-y act,
whether it is And a paperwork, breaking the door or
We're picking the lock -in.
Kind of thing.
Okay.
All right, then I And I will read.
Recon them.
You said they were setting up some kind of military blockade?
Um...
Police preparation, yeah, in front of the Palace of
Continuity, yeah, you can recon them.
You definitely can tell they are doing it for the council We're the guy who...
was going to release the information who was killed.
They want to make sure that if there is protest Protester act.
Action, it is already Pre -contained.
Pre-contained.
Okay?
Yes.
Is there anything else you would like to do?
Not this moment, thank you.
Okay.
So we're going to hop to the next group and then we're going to come back
to you guys when Basically, some time is...
has passed.
So we're going to be going to Alan and Annette.
And by the way, Peter, You can choose to.
To be with the group that is going to try to find a way to charge Sashi,
or you could try to go with the group that is That's what I was trying to get.
Get gear and hardware to help out the group.
Gear and hardware is where Kiernan would go.
I'm assuming, is that where Judith went?
Yes.
Kismet, Okay.
Guess.
So I will drag you to that, and we are We're right now with...
Varian and Sashi.
Okay.
So, are you guys going to walk?
It is It was about...
about That's about 40 minutes.
Minutes from where you guys are, or you guys can try to take a cab.
Uh...
All right.
Walking is fine by me, but your meat legs might say different.
Meat legs.
Don't worry about it.
About my meat legs.
And I would do Substack.
Maybe a navel check to help me decide
whether it'd be better to walk or
cab,
just to not have a bunch of cabs going out of the same spot.
Or do a...
A navel check is what you said?
Yeah.
Enable is, you're in space.
Oh.
Oh, oh.
Okay.
Then maybe as an admin,
would that work?
Yep.
Or Recon.
Yeah, you can do admin of, Recon is your life.
You're looking at things.
So, I guess...
can see an admin of,
is it going to seem inappropriate of 15 cabs I'll pick up at a random And, uh...
block, so So I'm fine for an admin role.
I roll the 5. You You
still have a marginal six as zero.
It's fine.
Um, it...
You all leaving makes it look like it is either lunch or closing time for this factory.
Hmm.
Okay.
You all coming back at the same time would be weird,
but the idea of everyone I'm going home at that.
A particular time is not odd.
How about we...
Right there.
There and then walk back.
Yeah, it never Or walk there there and ride back.
That sounds fun, too.
Whatever keeps us under the radar the most.
Walking there and riding back might be easier, too, because then you'll be fully charged.
If you're 60 to gain the charge going.
Yeah.
And that's what we do.
Walk there, ride back.
Okay.
But as you guys are watching...
walking, Um, you see, uh...
a bunch of school kids There's a lot of things going by.
Going by, waving their little Jordanian flags, and they're singing a song of the nation.
Thank you very much.
You, uh...
get to the middle of the street Um, area.
Area Right, at the Grand Access.
Access, and while you're there, Where there is...
is Substack is a large large crowd of people together that are all yelling at
a particular podium.
Do we see who stands
upon the podium?
There is,
and just to kind of explain the podium,
it isn't like a podium like one standing thing where a guy is talking.
There is a group of people on the podium.
That's it.
A veritable state.
Stage?
It is closer to a stage, yes.
I will accept a Recon
Uh...
Substack.
A Diplomat.
Substack.
Thank you very much.
I can do a Diplomat.
Recon?
Yep.
Thank you.
Can we roll separate rolls?
Yes.
Okay.
Marginal success.
Yep.
Wow, super success.
Uh...
Varian realizes Substack.
But they are are shaming a person that is not acting in accordance with government opinions.
Uh, sh**.
It is a teacher And we'll see you next time.
Tried to I'm going to teach a group of people.
Of his students that...
Uh, and Everyone wasSubstack is equal.
Equal.
That there is a nature of...
Thank you.
There is nothing special about what humanity is.
And one of the kids ratted out on him.
And this guy is currently tied up The on -the -podium.
Podium while the crowd is screaming at him.
Thank you very much.
He's tied up?
Yes.
Who doesn't love a good pillaring?
Um, I look at Sachi...
And Do I know this guy?
No.
My education background?
No, he's like an elementary school teacher.
Uh...
Oh.
Um, I Look at such...
Saatchi and say,
maybe on the way back if this is still happening and less people are here,
what do you think?
Thank you very much.
Thank you.
I think whatever this is is going to be over by then.
Thank you.
Do they look like they're going to kill him?
I ask you because You roll.
Rolled better than me.
Like...
No, it is definitely a cultural shaming, not an Thank you very much.
Okay, well, if we determine that it's not life-threatening, I'm willing to say,
Yeah.
Well, let's log that one.
One in the books and come back around to it.
Yes.
Because I don't know.
Say step one, I point at you.
I don't know.
I look at you And I point at you.
Your arm or wherever your Substack.
Gun comes out.
I'm like, you are better than me.
ha ha.
I don't know.
Yeah, but I will blow apart half the stage.
It's not exactly subtle.
That's okay.
When you're fully charged, that's okay.
Thank you very much.
That means you can do it again.
Other half.
Okay.
No charge.
Maybe not.
I think actually the second picture is probably a better example of a bunch
of people holding people down for cultural shaming.
Yeah.
Mm-hmm.
Okay.
Well, I don't know.
Bookmark in my brain map where this is happening so that we can And circle back to it.
To it if we need to.
Um...
Because it is such a large group,
though, many people are distracted.
Should we charge you now?
Maybe no one will see.
I We would be.
Be willing to accept another recon That's a question from We'll see you next time.
To look where there may be a charging port.
Other people might want to roll So...
an electronics pure roll or a...
Actually, it's close enough for an investigate, too.
I
I do not have Investigate.
Okay.
And do you want to just try your Recon again?
I'm going to try another Recon.
Let's see if I can just...
I can also try Recon.
Should we both try it?
Try?
Yeah, I'll let you both try.
Sure.
All right.
Let's scan the area and see if there's a spot.
Thank you very much.
That That's very successful.
Yay!
So you see...
That there is It was a police mechanism.
Mech there that is currently being charged on a wall.
Does it look like there's more than one charge port?
Um...
How close are you going to get?
I'm gonna - get?
I'm going to saunter around the back way.
Like, if there's a crowd, I'm willing to, circumnavigate
It's very important, though.
The crowd is caught up in a fervor, okay?
Sure.
So So, a lot of action.
Actions are going toâ€”you're not going to be needing stealth as you kind of go around
there's basically a person that is ruining social solidarity.
Yeah.
How much do I stick out as a robot?
Uh, you won't stick out a - out as a robot as long
as people don't think you have independent thought.
Ah, yeah.
So I just act like I'm there as a custodial whatever.
Wait a second.
I've got so much NPC in me.
Yes.
I wonder if a diplomat role would make people think that you're like my robot.
Well, you could do a diplomat role where you scream...
Uh...
Social suppression And on the people.
And the people who are being...
being done to definitely distract while Annette charges.
We'll see you next time.
Yeah.
Should I do that?
Yeah, I can do that from a different area while you're charging.
Mm-hmm.
I should make the roll?
Yeah.
Oh my god.
That's an amazing roll.
Yeah.
I'm so good at doing this.
Just downright pull Pull the cable from the mech.
Stand I'm behind the mech.
Mech right where his plug is and plug yourself in.
Yeah.
Lean against his leg.
Yeah.
Okay.
Yeah, you're going to be charged in like 10 minutes.
In that 10 minutes during this kind of thing, people are Our, uh...
getting these people to confess over their sins And that's...
they...
They were caring more about themselves and the greater part of humanity.
Don't they understand that humanity has spread across the stars and
that they're just spewing propaganda from those who try to bring humanity down?
Um So, you are fully charged for another three days.
Yay!
All right.
I do not plug the Big Mac back in.
Okay.
You do not plug the Big Mac back in.
No, he...
Okay.
No.
He can stay at whatever charge he's at.
So, Josh, you are here.
You are muted.
I am here, yes.
Okay.
The last group was all going to go get supplies, so you're going to be going with that group.
That's what I said.
I said I'm in the third group.
Yeah.
So, Judith, With Victor...
Uh, Sinman...
Cinnerman, Share it, share it.
Yeah, Sharon.
It's a cake.
K.
Kieran, I...
I still think it's better that he's Cinnamon.
Um...
Yeah, no, absolutely.
He's Cinnamon all the way down.
And Dan are all going to St. LibertÃ©, Saint-Liberte to We'll pick up some gear.
Gear.
Um...
This is the farthest location and would be a two-hour walk.
Um, and...
It is, for They're East Coasters.
Coasters, it's probably like half the length of The Manhattan...
Manhattan.
For West Coasters, it's probably me trying to walk from Uh, Santa Monica.
Monica to Marina del Rey.
Are Um there any questions?
Are you guys going to try to get a cab, or are you guys going to huff it?
Santa Monica to Marina del Rey wouldn't take two hours, would it?
Yeah.
If you're walking from the pier,
and you have to go all the way through Venice, all the way
through the area.
Okay.
Yeah, that's probably about two hours of walk.
If you're not, like, huffing it, like, you're not, like, Steinbach going, we'll try.
Like, if you're just walking it.
So, first of all, Judith has her
big-ass gun.
Yep.
And she's hesitant to leave it anywhere.
I love you.
Lighting me.
Cannon is smaller.
Remember, that's the advantage of your gun.
My rifle?
Yes.
You can unscrew The Long Bear.
Barrel of your rifle and put a smaller barrel on it that basically lets you put it
under a trench cap.
That's the That's a special advantage.
Advantage of your bounty on your rifle.
Okay.
Well, then I do that.
Yeah.
So if you're shooting it that way,
by the way,
just so you understand, when you go to equipment, you see how you have an M84 car.
Carbine under items owned?
Yeah, and liberating.
Liberator.
Yeah.
So, and you are looking at equipment, not attacks, right?
Thank you.
Oh, I'm looking at attacks.
Sorry.
Let me go to equipment.
So you normally have an M84 rifle.
That's with the big, long barrel.
Yeah.
If you take the big, long barrel off, you have the carbine choice at the bottom.
Okay.
So that goes into equip, and this goes into store. Now Now your attack is on carbine.
Okay.
So, your gun is at least more effective.
So, guys, We gotta get to...
some supplies.
Substack.
Um...
Of the people who are in my group,
I'd like to know how
familiar are you guys with this area?
Kiernan would have to Scrunch his eyebrow.
Eyebrows and think on that.
Ahem.
God, how well does he know that you are now?
Admin Or, uh...
Streetwise rules.
Rolls can say how much you know.
Yeah, okay.
We all just roll what we think would
be.
And they're All uh...
education, not intelligence.
Thank you very much.
It's looking...
And we'll see you next time.
Um, Arthur.
Sorry, I rolled before I heard the education piece.
I'm one point lower.
It's, um...
You're still going to be three.
Basically anyone who got a two or above was going to be
I think we're going to talk a little bit about that.
Thank you.
Fine.
And it was admin or streetwise?
Yeah.
Yes.
posted a We'll get a link in the description.
Chat, which is the write-up of this location.
Anyone who basically gets That's a one or above.
Above has access to all that data.
Chat, okay.
Thank you.
One or above?
Well, let's find this.
Thank you.
What's your son?
Saint Oh, residential commercial so this whole page.
I'm happy to give you guys some time to read it and go back to the other group,
which is probably going to have a quicker action if you want.
I wouldn't mind.
Okay.
Thank you very much.
So we're going back to...
So, the spying group...
group in front of the Hall of Chosen Futures.
Um...
Laura, what would you like to do?
Hold on real quick.
I'm going to update that instead of genetics building.
What was it, the holo?
What?
Chosen Futures.
Shows.
Okay.
I just was putting genetics building and having an actual correct name would be better.
Thank you very much.
Okay.
I had an idea and I kind of threw it away, but I'm still going to go back to it.
Is there any way that through the distraction of the guy I could sneak in?
Yes.
I would say almost all of you probably could sneak in during this.
Okay.
I had a secondary question.
Do I have any kind of bugging device?
On you...
Okay, let me also expand.
You are a bug.
I am.
Am a bug, but I don't...
I mean, I can go further
in my plan.
Right.
I would say it's more likely that you would want to try to do some electronic sensor
on like a phone and then make it communicate back to you.
Okay, Okay, my plan is that - actually to Could it?
Put it in a radio station so that all of their transmissions internal
to them will be transmitted to me.
That's my ultimate plan.
Getting into it.
Into a radio station might be a little bit It's a more difficult situation.
Security-wise.
Okay.
Um, you could - very good at... Oh, I guess I'm okay at sneaking.
Right, but right now, you're the face.
You walk in with confidence, no one's going to stop.
Because you don't look
like you.
I don't look like me.
Um...
What I really need is some Dr.
Hoon's psychic paper, because then I can be like, I'm here with the investigation.
But I don't have that,
and I don't feel like they're going to let me through without some sort of show
of credentials.
Can I ask a quick question, Storyteller?
Yes.
Can the And the people...
people who are going to be getting things have a chance to speak to each other ...
before We're talking to you.
Absolutely.
Do you Do you want me to throw you
guys out there?
Guys onto a chat?
If everybody is amenable, I'm not requesting it and making them choose that.
I just I'm asking if that's
That's possible, and then they can say it.
That's fine.
Sure.
Yeah.
Okay.
I'll drag you guys on.
Thank you.
Okay.
Thank you.
And Sermon
is Thank you.
Steenbuck, And a wicker.
Victor There is...
Peter.
Okay.
And I'm missing Thank you, Carla.
Carla.
Okay.
Oh, let me push you back in, Carla.
Yeah, he's putting me back in here.
Can you drag yourself then?
No, there's a button that I thought was doing it.
And then just do it one more time.
And then I'll stop.
I don't know.
Thank you very much.
Okay.
They are In there, what are you going to do?
What are we going to do?
Substack.
Okay.
Um...
So you guys...
First, you guys can just walk in right now.
Because they don't... You're not saying you're For Solstack, you're not...
saying that.
They just think that you're up there because you have some paperwork saying you have
to go to That's all chosen futures.
Futures.
Okay.
So, But as you guys walk...
walk in, Um, no one's caring.
Carrying big guns, right?
Like... No, I have It's like aâ€” small
gun.
Yeah, you have a pistol, and...
Damien.
Yeah I know. All you guys are... They're all pistols right? You're all
fine. Mostly
Incas.
Are in the waiting room.
There's a bunch of other people that kind of look nervous.
There is a scientist you see who is kind
of sweating as he's walking off
the elevator, and And
Yes.
You see him go to the bathroom, even though he obviously had a bathroom on his secured floor.
Do Thank you very much.
Do I know that guy? No.
No.
Oh, yeah.
Let's recon him.
And I don't know.
It's investigation because you guys were all within too close a range.
It's investigation to know if I know him or he's sneaking in.
It's investigation to have any There are some details on him.
Him because he is within 10 feet.
Can I just try to sneak in there?
I
will let you roll a stealth roll.
Okay.
Um, you walk in.
In, you do see a sign that says, no apes, no chimps.
Oh yeah, Colby,
you could just walk in,
because you are,
you could look like you're going to the bathroom.
Yeah, that was my thought.
Yes.
Uh, definitely Damien Hennig.
Damien had to because people would have said, why are you going in there?
Um...
So you guys are in there.
As I said on the Voodoox once, taking a dookie for freedom.
Um, uh...
He has gone into a stall.
Are the stalls like European for the ceiling stalls?
Are they American?
American stall.
Yeah, not like a European stall.
I, uh...
I give the nod up or down to
our monkey friend.
Uh, to uh, shit What's her name?
Zoe.
Zoe, but I'm not in there.
No, you won the roll.
The road yeah oh okay okay make sure to keep
my feet up.
Oh, well, you haven't gone in the stall yet.
Are you going in the stall?
Yeah, probably best.
Okay, so you're going to stall next to the guy to hide.
Yeah.
And Cass, what are you going to do?
I am going to find an angle At the, uh...
the sink to be able to look through the mirror and see through the crack and the door.
Okay.
Okay,
Thank you very much.
That's going to be a fairly fairly hard investigation moment.
So actually do an investigation roll with a Bane.
How do I do Banes again?
I believe if you click on the event, it says Roll Type, Boon Booner, baby.
Bane.
Bye!
Ah, yes.
Yeah.
You're like, I can't I can't see it like if I...
could see him for a moment.
A minute,
and then he moves,
and then...
Because that literally is, you're trying to put a, like, a thread through a needle.
Thank you.
Like, it's... Yeah, no, I'm with you.
I'm with you.
I don't know.
Not disputing the difficulty.
You can I mean, both here...
hear that he is typing.
Thank you.
Uh...
Um, on some type of pad, like,
it's almost like if you were seeing someone, like, type on an iPad, that sound.
I'm gonna give Zoya a chance to, uh, to investigate before I
make another app.
I don't think I have an The rest of the games, I don't know.
Don't think I have an investigate skill worth rolling.
You want to try to do a stealth over the top?
Oh, All right.
Okay. That's a good idea.
I I would say this is also in a bane.
Thank you very much.
Oh, let me redo it then.
Oh, you still did it.
Wow.
Fica.
So you climb up on the pole above on top and you're looking over.
Um...
The guy is putting I mean, some type of -
I'll see you next time.
Of Datastick.
Inside A metal tubular container.
Container.
He's typing something And on an ARM computer.
Computer.
He gets up and he puts the tube in the toilet and he flushes it.
And it goes down.
So, that's what you guys see.
He leaves, and And Laura can deal with
With him outside,
but you guys obviously don't want to follow him right away,
or you'll be like, hey, we're after you.
So, Laura, do you want to do anything as he comes out?
All right, we're a couple of perverts, and we I don't know.
I will look forward to it.
To the electronics comms.
Yeah, I think I'm preoccupied with trying Try to hack.
Hack, be Hacksword.
Yeah, so...
So, what did you say?
Electronics.
Okay.
Thank you.
Okay, you are able to You hack the message.
Message that he has out.
Oh!
Okay.
That he's typing out.
Um...
He's basically sending a message out.
You don't know who it's going to, but it says, this is the last time, I...
time...I already know that the senator was killed for the data that we gave him.
It's only going to be a match.
Matter of time before they come after me.
Lose my number.
Okay.
Wait, can What was that?
Can you repeat about the - information again?
What was, I apologize.
Apologize, I was typing at the same time.
This is the last time I'm going to do this information.
They killed the senator, obviously, for receiving it.
Right.
And I'm going to lose my number.
Number.
Okay.
I'm going to hop quickly to the people at the charging.
Are you guys going to mess with or do anything with the police there?
Are you going to try to, while they're distracted, listen in on any recordings?
Are you going to try to Do you do anything there?
There?
Are you going to just try to be with the crowd and get back happily charged?
I'm wondering, because sometimes police are kind of sloppy.
And they might leave comms around, And, like, leave, like...
like, police-grade equipment, potentially.
Are you - You might be able to find a police communication,
but there will be, like, trackers in them.
Oh, okay.
So, like, you could listen or make a call, but you wouldn't be able to keep it forever.
Hmm.
See...
As a player, I smell plot,
but as a character, I have two Grand Theft Auto stars over my head right now.
And so, like...
Don't feel like I could...
This seems to be a systemic problem with this culture, not just one Exactly.
School teacher getting I'm not saying tomato -ed, but...
but Like, an actual problem.
Problem with how this culture values dissent,
and And I feel like if any of you are going to do that,
anything,
I've learned something about the culture in witnessing this and it might,
you know,
with my freedom,
I might say I as an individual would like to work to better a
society so
that it does not behave this way.
Uh, I...
But I don't see how shooting up this crowd is going to make any friends
or cause any trouble with cops.
...Cause any trouble with...
Right now,
I've got a clear and present issue which is not just me but all
of these newfound allies that I found â€“ tenuous allies â€“ we've gotten
to clear our names.
I do want to give a slightly different opinion just for you to think about
because you've been in the society so long.
Yeah, give me blue text to follow.
This is the more kind and gentler thing to do.
They're trying to get these people to realize they're wrong and improve it instead
of torture and assassinate them.
Sure.
So as a member of this culture, I recognize that this is better than it wasâ€” This, it's...
still a little weird, but...
Would Yeah, Recon.
Recon be for listening in to what the cops are doing, or would that be...
They're just containing them.
The crowd.
They're not doing anything with your guys' stuff.
So, absolutely, you guys can sneak away and be fine.
You guys can get back and be okay.
I kind of want to stay a little bit, do you think?
Okay.
I'm happy to wait for another round.
Yeah, we'll see.
We'll stay one more round and intelligence gap.
Gather and Keep an eye on what you're doing.
What the cop's behavior is.
Okay.
Yes.
By the way,
I'll just tell you right now,
the cop's behavior are like L.A. cops in a movie thing.
Oh, we have to sit here.
Oh, rah, rah.
Like, they're not stopping the crowds.
They're just here because they have to be.
Right.
Okay, so I'm going to bring the other group in.
Are you going to get a new paint job while you're out too?
Since you have them stars above your head.
Oh, hello.
Okay, so have you guys thought about what you want to do
So, uh...
in Porta Porto That's the seat of liberty.
LibertÃ©?
We have an idea, but we realize we have no money.
We have a
Well, So, you can use...
Underworld to basically, streetwise I mean to fake Uh, currency.
Currency.
You guys could You can steal stuff.
Stuff.
Uh...
You guys could try to pressure the people, hey, what if I pay you Tuesday for a hamburger today?
Um...
You guys have a lot of different ways to do it other than Pain with your identity.
Identities.
Or, hell, you could pay with your identities and then just run away.
By the time the cops get here, you won't be there.
Mm-hmm.
Oh, yeah.
We max out our real identity credit cards.
Ohhhhhh.
Oh.
I see.
Max out our real identity credit cards, run away, and then, And, you know...
some of us will probably end up with new identities at the end of this anyway.
Either...
Either way...
I feel comfortable with that.
Okay.
Thank you.
If you guys don't mind, I'll just
Give me a gun.
List of the things that we were thinking about getting.
Is that okay?
Yeah.
Yeah, I'll add anything.
The That would be absolutely insane.
Essential, that'd be the You know, non -perishable.
Non-perishable food, some medical supplies, And I think that's a good question.
I think that's a great question.
The idea from Victor, we're going to be searching for Or secondary.
They mark it.
Market Um, Calm Gear.
Gear.
Secondary market what?
Communication I couldn't get it.
Gear devices.
And
stuff like water containers, the hygiene supplies.
Thank you very much.
Extra batteries, portable charges, stuff like that.
Is that sound of - Okay.
Basic supplies are going to be fine.
The communication, we're going to do a roll-on to see how So, good at communicators.
Communicators you can get that won't be tracked or hacked.
Okay.
So then also, just as a heads-up, we're not going as one big group.
Right.
We're splitting up myself and Kiernan.
And we're doing this.
Doing the shopping, and then And, um, Dan and...
and then Dan and Victor, they're going to beâ€”I'm I'm sorry?
No, I was just giving you my name since you were searching for it.
Sorry.
Yes, Victor.
Okay.
So they're going to be kind of like...
So it'll be like two Two, two groups?
Groups, but not totally together.
They're going to be hanging back behind us to make sure they're flanking us,
making sure nobody's following us.
And so they're...
they're going to use their skills Thank you for that.
That.
Who has a Broker skill?
So that would be Kiernan.
Kiernan Hasbrook.
Broker Zero, and Thank you.
The only one who has Broker.
Okay.
And the one thing that I would add,
and the one thing that Kiernan would be very focused on as well,
part of that shopping list, that he would It's Amunite.
Ammunition Ammunition and robot parts are his big one.
But we also kind of covered And the robot parts when it came out.
Came to the batteries and stuff like that.
okay whoa none of those
things are batteries.
Okay, let's be really clear.
Everything she listed were simple day-to-day supplies.
Medical, All food.
Food.
Batteries are like, hey, you know, I want to charge my phone or a light.
Robot parts is going to be...
It'd be much more like Trent.
Trying to buy car parts.
It's not going to be a thing you're getting at a local type of thing.
Yeah.
Glad we're establishing that.
Those were the two things that would be on the list.
Ammunition is definitely going to be a thing that they're going to want to know your ideas on.
So you guys are going to have to be a little bit more coy about that.
Okay.
But all the stuff in the first piece of the list, let's just get all that through.
Can we also...
answer that one?
Yes?
Instead of just Robopods, I was thinking about kind of like a repair kit.
Kind of like welding stuff, you know, if we want to repair things, you know?
Lovely.
Okay.
Let's still deal with the first pack, and then we'll deal with The three difficulties.
Difficult things, okay?
I agree.
So, let's do a broker at a boon to deal with all the simple stuff.
Broker.
Yeah, I'm assuming that's going to be Kiernan.
I mean, it's not like anyone else is going to.
Shoot in.
Let's see.
Oh, Oh, where's it? Here we are.
You.
Boom.
Okay.
You didn't roll it out of boon, but...
So I really would have you roll again.
Gonna do that.
So when you roll, there's a thing called roll type, and you pick boon.
Uh...
What are you talking about?
I'll say you get all the things, Get all by it.
You're marked, you have to use your credit card.
Yeah, I mean, that fully makes sense.
So you get all the easy things without the credit card.
Now, So, the people...
people who are watching you,
because you said two people are going to be up front doing the deals
and two people are going to be watching.
Mm-hmm.
So I have a quick question.
So he's the only one shopping, but we had the idea that there's two people shopping.
And so whoever he wants to be with can be there.
Yeah, so Carly, you're hanging out.
All right,
All right, I just want to make sure I can do it.
Can talk now.
So the idea that we had in the other voice chat was that part of the reason
And I would be doing this.
This was because I would be able to offer some deceptive skills during our shopping.
Now, if that's not something that we could do,
great, but I just want to make sure that if you keep shopping...
If you get more He has more successes than his.
His failure, the guy won't scan the card until after work.
Okay.
And so would that be considered a boon?
No.
No, just as a regular deception role.
A regular role, yeah.
So, and let's make sure it was done.
You actually did get more than he, yeah.
You tell the guy, hey,
you know what,
my paycheck's going to be in by the end of the day, so Don't swipe it till the end.
The end of the day.
And the guy's fine.
So you guys don't, you absolutely did that.
Really?
Oh yeah! Okay, So now the three hard things of
Oh.
The machinery can't...
kit, bullets, and a
Um, and...
A butt and a...
communicator that is less likely to be spied on by Solstack or the police,
which one do you guys want to work on first?
I would look for the Tomgear,
but I would vote for the comm gear,
but I see the value in the I see the robot parts.
Parts and the ammunition.
So my vote would be the comm gear, but I'm good with any of the three.
That's my vote as well.
Communication.
Yeah, let's do it.
Communication.
Okay.
Does anyone have a tactics military above a zero?
So, let's check it out.
Thank you.
Check.
I'm having trouble opening up my
sheet for some reason.
I have naval tactics too, but not military tactics.
Thank you very much.
I get it.
Got They never do a bug.
Yeah.
Wait, can we do this on a boat or something?
Basically,
what you guys are trying to do is you're going around and telling people
that you're part of a merc squad.
If I have tactics military zero,
I can't tell if that's because it zeros everything that's under tactics or
if I actually have it.
Zeroes everything that's under Tactics or if I actually have the, um...
Kiernan would have another...
If you have any tactics,
and that's why I asked if anyone has a tactics of military above a zero.
Okay, that's right.
Sorry.
Multiple people here have a naval, I imagine, above a zero, right?
Yes.
In the Navy.
Okay.
The other way you guys could try to get it is...
You could try to buy a simple cell phone, And a few simple cell phones.
Phones, and do electronic rolls to You make them harder
to be tracked.
So basically like a burner kind of set up and then
augment them I'll talk at them later.
Later.
Right, like you basically buy five burners and then you go get a...
A soldering iron,
and you try to basically change the frequencies off of the normal frequencies.
Okay, so
I have computers.
Computers That's one, but I don't know.
Know if that's considered... Yeah.
If I have to do comms, not computer.
The role will be...
be comms.
But whoever has even a zero, you can try the roll.
Yeah, I've got a...
Yeah.
I have a comms of one.
There you go.
Comms of one.
I'd roll that.
We could.
Judith, you are uniquely placed to roll this as well.
I think we can both if we're allowed.
You'll know if you fail, which is the best part about
it.
Yeah, I'm sure.
I'm sure if we fail this, someone's getting a notification on their phone on X.
No,
no, no.
Like you're doing
the hack.
If you fail, you broke the phone.
You know that's wrong.
You throw it away, and you can try it again.
Yeah.
Oh, actual physical breaking.
Yeah, but, like,
you guys are,
you bought, like, five,
actually,
you bought, like, ten, let's say, $20 cell phones, and you're trying to hack them.
So, Feel free to roll call.
Cones, and let's see how good you get.
Normal roll type?
Normal roll, intelligence base, yeah.
Lovely.
Oh, intelligence base, I wonder if I could change it.
Yeah, yeah, it's already, it already works.
Oh my goodness.
Thank you.
Okay, so I'll...
all of the cell phones that you have,
you've been able to make military grade on this planet
because it doesn't have communications outside the planet.
Um, no.
No one basically who doesn't, It's like, if they...
they see you calling, they could try to Can I triangulate it?
It, but they will not be able to communicate if they don't know or find out where you are.
There you are.
Tiernan, just Very non - very non-plussed and casually, just goes That's a great thing.
To the equivalent of a Radio Shack,
buys a whole bunch of wiring and just makes a bunch of sad notes.
He just, like, That holds out his hand.
Hands for each person's phone here It's funny.
Is like, give me this, like, it's a big, You know, it's too big.
A big receiver on the end of it.
Um, now, for the repair kit, um, uh...
Because Steinbach also has mechanic,
I would say that you could leadership Josh And he can roll McKinnon.
Mechanic to find a work set that he can basically pick up off of a truck.
Off of a truck.
Dig it.
I will roll leadership.
Okay.
Perfect.
Josh, you can roll mechanic with
a boon.
Said?
A boon.
Thank you.
I'm having a hard time finding the main chat.
I'm just ridiculous.
I saw it, and then it's gone.
It said
you privately rolled some dice, Josh.
It is right under... Did I
do it wrong?
It says you privately rolled some dice.
So weird.
One second, I'll try it again.
I'll get you.
There are icons There's a piece of underneath.
Underneath the chat on And Foundry, that led lets you It's a private...
rolls.
You might have had... You might have had...
There you go.
Perfect.
Perfect roll.
Yeah.
I I would say you
You guys have a We have a repair set that...
that is going to give you plus two on
have a repair set that is going to give you What have been your roles for the year?
We'll see you next time.
The next So that's just three roles.
Rolls.
Okay, all very successful.
And Uh, you...
no one's even tracking you, which was even like a better kind of win.
Um...
Thank you very much.
While you're all there, you do see a And a kind of a...
dark It's a dark alley.
Alley where people Substack.
Exchanging things He's in a...
I'll follow your lead.
I think my character's general concept would be,
I think maybe before this all happened, would be, let's call the police.
But now I'm like, let's mind my own business.
But if you all want to do something, I'm fine for us to get in the middle of it.
Thank you.
Is this something we even want to get in the middle of?
I mean, we know a couple of things,
just based off of what I already know of ...of the question.
Quarter.
Um...
The same The same thing you do.
Syndicate who They're going to put us here.
Here with the most sway in this area Thank you.
Is probably his goons, It's some sort or another.
Another.
Thank you.
Uh, I - I agree with you.
They might be his goons.
I But I was thinking,
this mightâ€” might be one of the black market kind of dark alley vendor setups
where we could search for more unusual materials that might help us.
Or, uh...
but is there a way to
Check, or maybe I should have started here, Patrick.
Is there a way to look at them and see, are they exchanging Exchanging a little bit.
Baggies of things for cash, like this is a drug deal?
Or they're, like,
walking in with a crate,
like a pink crate, and the same guy walks out 20 minutes later with a green crate?
It's more God...
guys exchanging credits for, Like, uh...
a data chip.
Okay, so maybe more like information broker.
Yeah.
So it was quiet for me.
A moment because I was trying to get that stuff into the chat.
I apologize for not paying attention.
Do I also see this happening?
All of you see it.
Okay.
I will be quiet so that other people can do stuff, but I have questions.
Everyone already has asked, so you can feel free to ask.
Yes.
Okay, so then since you mentioned data markets, these would be...
Uh...
Like anonymous communications,
like arranging maybe possibly like discrete transportation,
that kind of data market?
Or are we looking at more like local intelligence, safe routes, stuff like that?
It could be transportation.
It could be I'm going to say, umâ€¦
information on like blackmail about somebody.
It could be a lot of things.
So you are just seeing
Seeing an interaction in a dark alley.
Okay.
It's not necessarily actionable.
We're just... Well, you guys could go in the dark alley, or you could just let
it happen.
Matters on what exactly we are still...
Sorry, go ahead.
He's talking to you, Uh, and -and he's...
just, uh...
Matters on what we're still looking to get on our list, you know?
A A lot of the things are...
on here left are rather...
Thank you very much.
But...
Probably right up their alley in the most literal sense possible.
You know, like ammunition, robotic parts.
You would talk the brief...
briefly about The transportation, so...
something that we do need off-world.
They very obviously look to have that.
So, let's see.
See you next time.
So...I I mean,
just based off the idea of transportation alone, I kind of want to go over there.
I'm going to go over there.
Is it all right if I go over there?
Can I do a recon to see if I If we, if I see that there's a
And, uh...
You know, cameras or to get a little more information before we walk over there?
Yeah, I'll let you do
where we come.
So To answer the guy's question, I I'm not going to stop you.
You.
I will stay out here and keep watch
On the outside of the house.
Alley.
Yeah, put that rifle back together, you know?
That kind of deal, I like that.
There does not seem to be The camera is mounted.
Mounted to the walls or anything like that.
The person who is doing The person who What I do is doing the exchange.
Exchange, though, definitely is armored and has
So, we're going to talk a little bit about this.
Going to talk a little bit about
Thank you very much.
Cybernetic therm arm coming out of their back.
Ooh.
Okay, so I'll say to him, listen,
we can go over there, but this guy, I don't know if we want to antagonize him.
He looks like he's kind of a guy.
Got a weapon and...
You know, and he's armed.
Armored.
Ooh, what kind of armor?
Do I know anything more than armor or no?
It is a dark alley 40 feet away.
No worries, I just...
He doesn't have the body form of a person.
That's kind of where your vibe is.
I can't tell.
I can just tell that, like, you know, it's a little thicker.
You know, and don't worry, it's not like crazy armor, but, you know, it's something.
This guy is ready for some trouble.
Oh, okay.
Well, then...
Um, looks like I bet they're just - dressed to look for some trouble.
Um uh And he was already going to do this before.
He doesn't want to approach these people right off the street.
He doesn't want to be that overt.
So he's going to kind of dip into either like,
I don't know, like a Or is there a restroom nearby?
Nearby or something like that and try to change Uh, into...
His ceramic.
Ceramics Up over top of it.
His cloth armor.
Okay.
I'm wondering how best to do that on the sheet because it's in items owned now.
But to put it into items in use.
The way that you do it is you,
on equipment, let me get down to where you are, you put it On where?
Wear and Perfect.
It automatically changes your armor stat.
Thank you.
There you go.
Yeah, he would have dipped into a restroom and gone that way.
He's also dipping around so that he doesn't have to approach these guys straight off the street.
He doesn't want to be super overt.
He doesn't want to freak these guys out.
These are not the dudes to do that to.
And he's going to just approach...
Armed and armored as he is as well, he's got his Navy shotguns.
Shotgun slung
behind, but it's pretty difficult not to see the profile of a shotgun.
And, you know.
Um...
And he's just showing up very much with the body language of, here to broker, here to deal.
Thank you very much.
Hey, you walk up as the - the guy The guy he's dealing with walks away.
Walks out, and he says, what are you in the market for?
Hmm.
Thank you very much.
Mmm. Me Me and my friends are looking to get off of world.
We are looking to get off of world Yeah.
In a fashion that could be sudden and necessary at the moment's notice.
Are these things that are familiar to you?
Well, kind of depends on how clean your identity is.
Yeah.
If It's going to be quite clean.
Oh, your identity is clean?
Why don't you just...
Taking I've seen Victory Cruises.
Cruises out of here.
The going is doing a lot of work.
I said that my idea is going to be clean.
Going is doing a lot of work.
Oh, well, Yeah, I'm confused.
Confused.
Oh, I see what he means.
That's funny.
Sorry.
Thank you.
Well, So, if your ID is...
is clean, So, let's see.
That's one thing.
If your idea is not clean...
And it really depends on how...
how dirty it is.
Like, it's one thing if you slept with a senator's daughter,
and it's another thing if you Uh...
are part of a terrorist organization.
I mean, sounds like you have a thing for either?
You have a thing for terrorists?
No, I'm trying to understand where you're at.
He looks very confused because he feels you're not being clear.
Yeah.
He's not being clear because he doesn't really trust this guy all that much.
Right.
So...
Most... You would imagine, as you have... Do you have any Underworld, even Underworld Zero?
Streetwise of Zero.
Yeah, Streetwise Zero.
You normally start with small things before you're like,
hey, can you do something that will have you hung and quartered in the government?
Okay.
Uh...
Thanks for the advice.
Let's see.
Well, he will redirect towards something smaller Thank you very much.
Ask about where best to get
Um...
But quick and reliable.
Reliable ammunition.
For what kind of guns?
Like that shotgun you have?
That's not going to be that hard.
No, I don't think so.
Thank you.
How about But anything from the shot, shotgun to a machine gun?
Military grade equipment.
Military grade equipment would be a little bit more difficult.
What kind of money are
you providing?
Combination of...
Credits and services, potentially, I I have 4 ,000.
4,000 credits upon my person, and there is That's something that could be made.
Made of some others.
Okay.
I definitely,
if you brought me the models of the guns you had,
4,000 credits, I definitely I could get your guys on.
Armed up as much as your 4,000 credits would go.
A few thousand credits would go.
I have a broker in the...
I Everyone, she's helping.
Have a broker in TransStar that has access to military So, military...
That's the ammunition.
Ammunition who can definitely We set you up.
Up.
Well, that's a great start.
I think we should definitely be meeting this person.
Okay.
The person working in any other There's a lot of physical...
Mark, it's...
a Baltic Spar.
Parts, things of that nature.
Well, So he's going to be more of aâ€” a drop-off than
That's been an open -air market.
Okay.
Um...
What will it take to meet this person?
Well, so you haven't, again, And told me the exact way.
Weapons, and he pulls out a little data sheet.
Write down the weapons Is that you want Amy?
Ammunition for.
Um, you'll give me the currency and I will give you the location where
to meet this person to get you ammunition equal to that currency.
Lovely.
Uh, he will give, uh, the makes and models, That's a lot of his.
His weapons,
but I think he'll also head back towards,
well, he doesn't have to head back towards the group.
Uh, I guess he can get them on, uh, on comms and stuff like that.
Communicate this same information, uh, them, if
they're looking to get anything
You notice, by the way, behind this guy he has a mobilized
trike.
Mm-hmm.
While he's getting the information
for people's different weapons and stuff like
that, and writing them down on this piece of paper,
Or, uh...
Uh, here we go.
He We will look...
over So I'm going to turn it over to the...
the
All right.
Trike and the microchip that he had before, Thank you very much.
And will sort of comment.
So...
I've been asking you a lot of questions about what exactly specifically I need,
but what do you... First of all, what is your name?
And second of all, what is your specialty?
I see here you have some Well, I don't need to.
To pry.
Normally you'd sayâ€” name before you
ask for a name, right?
Okay.
If we need to go...
All right.
Thank you very much.
My name is Colin.
My name is Lucent.
Mm.
I'll be right back.
I'll be like, I'm Dan.
Um, you know is there anything anything we could do for you?
Because, you know, I'm always looking for new friends.
There's some things I'm looking to We'll have checked out.
Out.
And I think that's a good question.
Think that's a good question.
Excellent.
I'm an excellent checker.
So there's a particular drop-off that is It's happening that...
I'm going to be looked at, but other random people won't.
If you would pick up this package for me and bring it back here,
I would be very grateful.
Sure.
Thank you very much.
Is this in consideration for the future, or did you have payment in mind?
A, uh...
Well, I was thinking as it's out of the main city walls, I could...
Give you this vehicle to go drive there, when you drop it off, you can keep the vehicle.
And
Oh, okay.
Let me talk about my compatriots.
Maybe, you know, I don't want to, I'm not like a leader or anything like that.
Let me see what their thoughts are.
How hot's the vehicle?
It's the trike that we're looking at, he means, I think.
That's what you mean?
Like he like nods at it? Yeah, he is asking this guy, how hot is the bike?
It's not hot per se.
It's just the people who are selling it don't realize it's off the lot.
Okay, well, that's a way to look at it, Lucin.
That sounds pretty hot.
But it's really hot.
It's really hot.
It's from someone before they walked out of the restaurant.
It's going to take months,
if not years,
before they realize this random one of the 20 that they bought is not
in their warehouse.
Okay.
That sounds better.
Alright.
All right.
He just shrugs, looks at, you know, looks at.
So, can we, like, walk a little way ways to talk, guys?
Of course.
He's like, take your time.
So, what do you guys think?
I mean, like, this is how, like, this is how business is done with criminals?
I don't know.
And I'll see you next time.
In that case, I mean... Who are you talking to?
The other three of you?
I was out by the edge of the alley.
I never went in the alley.
I was keeping watch.
Okay, so then I'm sorry, I'll explain from the beginning.
Beginning.
Okay, so we spoke to this guy.
He let us know some things that he has to sell.
Um...
You know, I would...
didn't want him to feel so cagey,
and not to mention, I think that the whole idea is to make contacts, right?
That's how these shady criminals do things.
And he kind of was like, we could, as these incognito people who Well, Tim...
we could go and do a drop-off,
because nobody's expecting to see us,
and then we'll get a vehicle, which is barely Sure.
Illegal.
And then we'll be in with these criminals. What do you guys think?
Thank you.
It could have been broken down for parts at the very least.
List.
Um...
Thank you very much.
I just want to say something out of character.
If you want to be critical of my character, that's fine.
He's super oblivious.
You If you haven't said anything.
Anything that I wish to criticize you on.
Don't worry.
Did he say what the mission would be that would be the trade for this?
It's...
seems to be Drop off.
Yeah, like an import-export,
probably of the drugs or something terrible, But nobody's supposed to do that.
Expects us to do it.
We drop off a package at the place, we confirm that it's been picked up by someone, we go.
And we go on the bike.
And then the bike is fixed.
Well, then yeah, if we do this, we get a vehicle, we That's what he has established to him.
Him that we are It's somewhat trustworthy.
Trustworthy, he establishes to us that he is trustworthy, um...
Songs were smart about this run.
Should be easy.
It'll be even easier once we establish who he works for as well,
because again, he probably works for Delphine.
So we can kind of count this towards as, du.
Doing Delphine's favors, you know, drop a name, be like, okay, make sure your buddy knows.
I wouldn't say...
Sorry, go ahead.
I wouldn't sayâ€” Sorry, go ahead.
Go ahead? No, go-ahead.
I was just going to say, Oh, my piggyback.
Feedback's kicking back up.
I don't know what to do about that, babe.
You're what's thinking you said?
What I was going to say, Patrick's telling me that I have some feedback on my audio.
I don't know.
I don't want to bring up Delphine.
We can't automatically think that they are at all connected.
You know, we don't know.
The only of The Underworld quite has yet in But I agree.
So I wouldn't mention his name, name. But,
you know,
name -dropping's not always a good idea.
Sure thing.
The only thing I know about this area is that Delphine has the control here.
But I agree.
You know?
I don't know these things as well.
The
only think I do know. Guys, I'm super excited.
I did not know I'd be such a great criminal.
And they always say that Trust me.
Trust among criminals is a big thing, right?
We're building the trust, guys.
It's because you're right.
Russian.
It's easy when you're Russian.
It's easy when you are Russian.
It's not easy when you're Russian.
The guy was extremely cagey in the beginning of the conversation that I had.
And again, And this...
little sweet kitten seemed to have disarmed me doing some of this stuff.
So well spoken.
Yeah, he could tell that.
You know, I mean well, and he could tell that.
And, like, we're gonna be, like, total buddies.
We're gonna, like, have, like, poker games and stuff.
It's gonna be really awesome.
Yeah, don't worry.
We will do our best to make sure you don't die.
You're okay.
Victor, did you have something to say?
I mean, I'm not planning on doing anything dangerous.
We're just, like, picking up stuff.
Like, what could be safer than that?
We're gonna pick things up, drive them here, drive them there, right?
I'm trying to give Michael a chance to talk.
I'm good.
Okay, I didn't hear that, so thank you.
Okay.
Thank you very much.
Um, I will Sorry.
I will add in, though, So, we have these...
There's free-throws.
Facial We use masks for for another day,
so even if we are caught on camera doing something now,
it's these veils are going to be That might be what's caught.
Caught, not necessarily us.
So as long as we can keep our actual IDs out of this, this should be easy and
Um...
This will hopefully be low risk enough that this is not going to put us in any kind
of bad situation.
Hopefully so.
What?
I'm very down.
I say we do this thing.
Dave.
I ride the bike very well.
I I will, I will...
It will be great fun.
If they try and jump us when we get to the place, again, I ride the bike very well.
We off it.
It's great.
You shoot the shit out of the fuckers when they come and...
Well, HvaÃ° er Ã¾aÃ°?
Priority is making sure that we get our supplies to where they need to be.
Substack, I don't know.
Substack.
Is there a Is there a time limit on that?
Substack said, drop off.
Drop-off?
We have yet to find out.
Okay, I will stay here.
You get more mute.
More details.
Hell yes.
We accept.
We get timetable.
You know what?
Then you come with me again.
He liked you better than me.
Or would it be better for
myself and And Victor, too.
To now come along to talk?
I think you very easily could.
Yes.
Let us all go.
I mean, I think...
I think somebody should still be going to watch, but this should be quick enough.
Perfect!
I can watch Ben If you'd like someone to see it.
Stay.
No, no.
He knows your faces.
The two of you go.
Fair enough.
I'm done with that.
You guys walk over and he's like,
now that you've I've been able to to communicate with your people,
are you interested?
Oh, yeah.
We just want to hand them out.
Yeah, 100%.
We just want to hand them out the details, right?
I want you to be happy, and I want to be happy.
You know, they say They are understanding things.
Things makes for good neighbors, right?
And let's be good neighbors, right?
I guess.
I thought good fences make good neighbors, but I'm all about openness.
But we're breaking down those fences because we're criminals.
Thank you very much.
There is a crate that we need that's about 36, 36 -20.
Not incredibly huge.
Where we need you to pick it up is In the agricultural world.
Agricultural District inside Dome No.
Substack.
2.
I'm going to give you U .A.
a That's a one -use press camera.
Communicator.
We need to press it.
They're going to bring it out and they're going to drop it off.
They're going to drop it off.
You're going to get that.
You're going to bring it today.
To an address I give you.
You're going to leave it at the door.
You keep the bike.
When are we going to do these things?
And then how much time?
Well, we just have to make sure you don't drop it off at night.
Okay.
Don't drop it off at when?
I couldn't I didn't hear you, I'm sorry.
Sorry.
You just can't drop it off
at night.
Okay.
Yeah, so if you want to pick it up in two days,
it's fine, as long as you make sure you drop it off during the day.
I check my watch right now, I don't know how many more hours of
The day do I
have?
It's probably 11 o'clock.
If you guys got all back together and told everyone what was up, you probably could still do it.
Okay.
And I'm going to send you guys
a picture of the box.
That'll be it.
AgDome 2, correct?
I'm writing that in the background.
2.
Okay.
So, Annette, are you back?
I'm here.
Yep, totally here.
Okay.
Thank you very much.
I just want to make sure that you guys had an opportunity if you want to do anything
in the access or head back.
Because And then I was going to, because the other people were going to be.
To be heading back and I'm one of the final checkups.
What are our options to do?
Uh, You could try to find information about the people who are being shamed,
you You could try to make allies who are supporting the team,
so like you know hey we're so good I'm all friends with the people who are bad.
Friends of the people that were bad?
Because I thought we were getting information last time and
I said, I thought we were getting information last time and just...
waiting on it for a round?
So, I'll see you next time.
Or were we just staying in there?
What information were you getting?
Thank you very much.
Like, from what was going on around us.
That's why we waited around.
Just to see and hear.
Oh yeah, just to experience was the vibe that I got from Annette.
There's not...
In a social shaming, there's not going to be secrets.
Mm-hmm.
Again, like I said, I don't see how this is directly relevant to You are...
current strife.
So... You guys head back.
I...
I, yep, I elected.
Elect to head back.
But I do mark, I remember where this is happening in case we need to
Uh, and...
I report back on
On it, you know?
Okay.
Up to the people at the Hall of Chosen Futures,
do you guys want to do anything before
you guys head back?
I don't.
Thank you very much.
I'd like to try to plant Yeah,
I'd like to try to plant that listening device,
but I want to put it in their system so it picks up all
the intercepted text messages that I just got from that guy.
I'd like it to do something similar.
But like I need to be.
Be integrated in the system as a whole.
Yeah.
Thank you very much.
If it's not possible, it's not possible.
You're doing a lot of that from your high-end computer that's here.
You'd have to leave a high-end computer here.
You'd have to leave a high end computer here.
You could try to hack one of the computers here to send you data,
but that is a computer role, which is... do have some stats, I think, in.
A computer role which isâ€”you I don't think you just have it in comms.
Yeah, I have computers, too.
Yeah, absolutely.
Then just try to hack one of the computers here.
Or do I have a computer, one?
You have one.
Nice computers, too.
Yeah, I do have computers, too.
Okay.
No, you have comms, two computers, one.
Do I?
Like, I'm trying to go across.
Okay, I have computers one.
Okay.
Yeah.
I mean, it wouldn't matter.
It would show up in the role.
Okay, and that's intelligence?
It's not education?
You actually could do education,
because that was something you would have been trained in over time,
and you're not doing it inspirational.
I have a slightly higher computer role, if you think.
Right, but I'm trying to do the action.
Right, and it
might help you.
I'll help you.
A monkey He's taping in the computer.
Computer would kind of set up alarms.
And I have a thing I want us to do in the bathroom
before we leave.
Okay.
All right.
So, Laura, do your roll.
Oh, my God.
Why am I so bad tonight?
Thank you.
So, you try to connect to the computer.
It doesn't It's easy to let you connect.
Connect.
I don't know.
Will let you Do the comm thing on the phone because that's a much easier role for you.
Okay.
Oh, that's
a little better.
Yeah.
So you can start But, uh...
uh basically phone calls that are going out of this call,
out of this phone, are being transmitted up to a server that you can try to access.
Okay.
It's better than nothing.
Yeah.
Okay, bathroom people?
Yes, so I will ask Zoic.
To remove the drain trap on the toilet that was used to see if we
can get
the metal tube,
see if we can secure it in case it got struck in Yeah, it's a great time.
Trap.
Because I imagine it's significantly heavier than water.
Okay, that's a mechanic role.
That sounds like some hygiene stuff that we missed while we were in the other voices.
Okay.
Damien, you can roll your mechanic with a boon.
Okay, so you take out your wrench and you're pulling it apart and water spraying everywhere.
You see that the tube that he has has grown leg leg-like appendages and trying
to pull itself down the pike.
I don't know.
I will let you
do an athletics at Boone because you still
have the leadership to grab it.
So, um...
You've successfully grabbed it as it's chittering Chittering and joking.
Jittering in your hand as it's trying to get down the pipe, but you
have it in your hand.
Hell, yeah, great job, Joy.
All Alright let's get the hell out of here. He
Thank you very much.
Has a twitching mechanical robot in his hand.
Yeah, because I was like,
so we're going to walk out of the bathroom,
covered in water, With something that looks like a dildo of legs.
A, um...
So, are you sure that's the best That's a good idea.
Uh...
I mean, it couldn't be that much, that big if it was inside a drain pipe.
Could it be concealed in two hands?
Imagine a cigar that has It's like now
spider -like.
Legs.
And it's trying to crawl away.
Okay.
Is it like Pickle Rick?
Thank you.
Pickle Rick.
What would be the role to subdue it?
All right.
Do you want to break it?
Just like open it?
Or, you know, set it down?
I'm confused by all these statements.
So...
I said you want to break it, and then you said set it down, so you want to let it go.
No, shut it down.
Shut it down.
You got to...
And it's moving.
Moving, so you can't, like,
pull out,
like, a... You can't do a computer or, like, a robotic thing on it right now.
It's moving.
So you can break it.
One of us pulled it, and the other one worked on it, or...
I mean, if Frank is the only option.
No, no.
Like you could He could try to stealth it while it's running through him, I guess.
Um, yeah.
You could try to put a box, like rip off the
paper towel holder and put it in there.
Uh...
Would it fit inside my portable
computer if I ripped open my portable computer,
Pull up the guts.
Guts and shoved it inside?
Your Pro computer is about the size of a large iPhone.
Okay, so no.
Then I will attempt your suggestion.
Oh, or I'll grab it from him and try to stealth it myself, if it seems possible.
Okay, Okay, do you have enough left?
Athletics roll to hold it.
Why don't you let me stealth it?
Yep.
You are holding it grip-tight.
Um...
Do a stealth, and if you succeed in the stealth, you walk out with it.
You're holding it so tight, the
legs can't move.
Yeah, you guys get out with it.
Okay,
so you guys, I'll make it back.
All the players Substack.
Are now Back at the hideout.
And you guys can talk
about what happened.
All right.
On the walk, I would quietly let And Emma know about the same thing That I'm stealthy.
Stealthily palmed that we grabbed in the bathroom.
Thank you very much.
Do I think I can do anything with that?
It sounds like it's spy equipment.
Yes.
I would let you roll an explosives roll to disarm it.
Damn.
There it is.
Okay.
It's giving me Any education, what are you doing?
Would it beat Dex?
I mean, education is my better role, but I just wanted to- I would let
you do an education.
You are used to disarming.
Okay.
I believe in you.
You're going to do a great job.
I almost...
Almost one of us does.
Thank you.
You've disarmed- Are you leadership-ing that?
Is that what you're saying?
I just think rules are
all crappy.
Um...
So you have disarmed the bomb, And I will also say you...
you've then disarmed the arms moving.
Bleh.
I'm not going to do that.
Well, it all recompresses into the tube.
Okay.
So do we just have a bomb now?
No, it was basically... Could we deploy?
Uh, it's...
It was enough to basically destroy the material.
It was about like an M-80.
Okay.
Of course.
You have seen this in your work where They're a deep cover piece.
People can put this Substack.
In piping And it's...
has a signal No, read or wear it.
It knows where to go in the piping.
It runs through the piping and then comes out where a guy can then recover the data.
Okay.
And the data is still accessible because I disarmed it.
Correct.
There's a data chip inside.
Okay.
All right, cool.
That's very That's really relevant.
Relevant to my desire.
Okay.
So, anyone want to see
Say anything else before you all are back together?
Thank you.
No, we're good.
Okay.
Yeah, we're good.
You're all back together.
You all We'll come through different means.
Means.
Uh, yeah.
You do hear the people
So, Ã¤hm...
...who went together...
go get equipment And You hear a big kind of electronic-sounding fake muffler come
as they come on their trike.
Imagine if, like, The Harleys don't exist.
Exist since there aren't that kind of combustible engine here.
So they have, like, fake electronic speakers that make it sound like that.
I'm imagining orc or boss on trikes.
Yes.
I just straight up ask, what in the world?
What are you doing?
We committed a crime, and it was awesome.
Who knew that it would be so great at being criminals, guys?
It's really awesome.
We got almost everything we wanted, And we're like...
It's like becoming ill-coachable.
Implicated in The criminal underw - underworld.
We're going to be Super like.
Super criminal people.
So just to confirm, we all fit on it, and all of our supplies fit on it?
Um,
I was going to be - more aggressive in making people do athletic rolls to hold on,
but for the expediency of story,
I was going to let everyone... Two people do not need to roll athletic rolls.
Everyone else would need to.
Okay.
Oh.
Who's not rolling?
None of us, I don't think.
I could...
Wait, actually...
I think for the expediency of this, I'm not going to ask for it at this time.
A lot of luck.
Um.
ÃžaÃ° er Ã¾vÃ­ aÃ° hljÃ³ttir.
Yeah, I think he'd echo the same things Okay.
Dan And as I said,
Thank you very much.
And, you know... We ran into...
ran into some brokers.
We're getting on their good side.
Eventually,
hopefully,
they'll be able to get us off world if we need to get off the world quick.
I mean, you know.
And they also are data brokers.
So being on their good side will help Thank you.
What are you asking about?
About future information that we need.
Like, say, the location of that commissar whose name I do want to try and memorize best I can.
We, I...
know we briefly talked about them being interviewed on the news.
Was there a name that came up for that commissar?
Yes.
I have put it in the general chat.
Okay.
Yeah, the location of that woman.
He mentions this Data Broker Lucy.
Lucin, quote-unquote, who we met.
I would like to point out that we're trying to clear our names,
and if you're so good at crime, that might be a little difficult.
Mmm,
you know.
I don't know about you.
I'd like to go back to the life I had.
Thank you very much.
Nobody here wants to be criminals.
We're all good-abiding And that's what we're talking about.
Citizens.
However, sometimes you have to break a few rules to show that you I actually aren't...
criminal masterminds.
But the good news is that In short.
It's showing that we're not going to do it.
Criminal masterminds, we're becoming criminal masterminds.
Isn't that kind of ironic?
Yeah, we're terminal criminals at this point.
We might as well lean into the skit.
Thank you.
I don't know.
What I'm going to say...
You can call me smooth criminal.
Don't do it, don't do that.
What But I...
I'd like to say is that this is an opportunity for us to get a vehicle.
It's a low-level...
Objective Thank you very much.
Um, what we - we've heard,
and so this will give us an opportunity to get on some And some good side.
Side, and we're not necessarily pilfering, we're not killing, it's a Wait for us to...
to get an immediate vehicle.
Yeah, what's up?
Duh.
We are I told you...
go to agriculture history.
Victor will try to catch Emma's And I,
I will - while they're going on about being a curriculum mastermind and all that
and kind of roll his eyes a little Uh, at them.
Them, about them, Um, at -at her.
Her.
Uh, after...
After... Oh, okay.
After Carly finishes, Um...
Victor will say, yes, That's an opportunity to to...
You get in with the broker.
Broker that will He will hopefully be able to point us out.
Us to ammunition.
This This is a quick drop -off.
Drop-off.
We will have our facial masks to help hide our identities from this drop-off, Uh, presuming...
this actually is a fairly simple, low-level task to do.
If we have people like Judith with the sniper rifle providing overwatch,
we have some of us standing in reserve in case something does go wrong.
We should be able to handle something like this
unless we have just gotten completely wrong information about the level
of this task.
So it provides material for us, it provides a low chance And I think that's what we're doing.
Criminal connection,
and it does allow us to make a criminal contact should we need information down
the road.
Again, specifically, this is an information broker asking us to do this.
Okay, yeah, I just want to see something.
Something.
Like, I didn't speed before this, okay?
I don't speed.
I don't do the drugs.
I don't cheat on my taxes.
Substack.
You know, it's important That you'd be...
You'd be the right side of it.
Size peg so that society works the way that it's supposed to.
However, We're ready.
Already,
you know,
we're kind of in bed with a criminal,
and I don't see any way of doing this the right way.
I mean, if you have a better choice, I'm happy to take it.
Take this back to the guy and, You know, see...
Come up with some, excuse me.
About how I broke my leg or something.
I'm not trying to...
toâ€”I don't want to sully my good name.
I'm a good person, okay?
Like, you know, So I was put in this position.
Position, and I'm sorry if I'm doing this wrong.
I just don't know a better way.
Hmm.
Varian speaks up.
No matter what, we all have good judgments.
And we will all know when to jump ship, so to speak.
I don't know enough of you to fully get behind
Behind that statement, but there is something interesting in, in.
What Dan said, which is, oh no, oh shit.
Genuinely, it was on my mind and then I lost it, truly.
Someone else go.
Oh, oh, oh.
What is this task?
Oh, oh yes. Yes. Yes, and I also ah shit And I also remembered the thing I was going to ask.
It's simple, simple.
Agricultural District,
Agdom 2,
Press 1,
Press Communicator,
they bring package,
we go to another location,
we drop off package, we confirm, You know, we confirmed it.
Confirm possession of package,
and then we go.
And you're doing this why?
We already said the why.
You weren't listening.
Tell me, what?
Mean, what are you getting out of it?
A Contracts.
Contract?
A specific piece of information?
The The bike in good favor.
Favor.
We said this.
The bike in a favor.
Okay.
Essentially, it's a tow-in.
It's a nice thing.
You start with a low level.
It's a shit deal.
We get it.
With pro-flow stuff.
Yeah, it's a shit deal with this weirdo Lucent.
Yes, we get it.
The thing that I was going to ask before is what were you guys doing?
Like, I do what you want.
I am interested in what you guys were up to as well.
I was becoming Being independent.
Independent And, and still.
I still haven't quite quite experienced that yet.
What?
We've got to do it.
Display.
A display of sh**.
Shame, people standing by watching, and people causing commotion.
And we just blended in the crowd cause no problem.
Thank you.
Okay.
What kind of problem?
Is it super pertaining to, you know, our impending death at the hands of the government?
Thank you.
Well, And the crowd was wasn't going crazy, Thank you very much.
But there was a shame event, but you know, it didn't get out of hand.
I think Saichi and I,
we would have stepped up or found a way to do something if it was It's very violent.
Violent and very dangerous,
but it just looked like a typical event
and it could have been so much worse.
Oh, so you guys witnessing thought that you guys were being chained?
No, no, no. We were...
not chained.
They don't even know who we are and that we weren't even then.
All they know is that their Police McQueen.
Was not charging like it was
supposed to.
It was actually a pretty convenient distraction.
Yes.
Nice!
We're kind of awesome though, no guys?
I think we're like handling,
you know,
the most terrible possible thing that could happen to us in a pretty positive way,
I think.
Yes.
You know, You know, life is sad.
Sadness and the suffering and...
suffering, but you know, you have to smile through the pain sometimes.
Wait a minute, do you think we were chosen for this to happen
to us previously?
And basically pushed to the corners of society because we're like this elite team
of criminals, even though we're not criminals?
What can I say?
Can I make one point clear?
I don't know where you got that from.
I think that we are a unique group of individuals What many of...
of us know each other out of 30 million people.
And how are we...
How Oh, what do we - we put in that elevator, And how would we...
we the The ones who are there.
There?
I think coincidence happened, but not like this.
No, no, we this.
was a And
that's good.
Science.
Enough connection so they can claim it was conspiracy,
and we were all considered expendable enough that
no one would care when they came
in and killed us later.
Exactly.
The Navy, of course, I I say it with, uh...
Yeah, a lot of...
you know, I did my time, I did a very good job, but then what do they do?
Okay, I was just saying, like, what if, like, the criminals Plan this.
So that we could do their criminal activities, like...
In ways that they couldn't because we're like crack operatives and we're kind
of disposable but we're amazing.
That's my point.
That's the thing.
So we are expendable until we can jump ship.
Dan's It's a crackhead idea.
Idea sounds It's very plausible.
Plausible to me.
I think that's very apt to be suspicious of the boy.
Ma'am, that was...
just getting into criminals.
I love it.
Um, and And in that vein,
Emma, did you find anything new in, like, what were you guys It's up to the end.
To?
Were you seeking out information yourselves?
I mean, I know we were going to an information broker,
but you are THE information person, as far as I've been able to surmise.
This whole group,
no matter how much we know each other,
we could all do with a game of 20 questions, I think.
Might clear up some things.
I don't know how I'm quite connected to many of you.
And he looks around.
Uh...
We snuck back into the Hall of Chosen Futures and gathered a fair amount
of information, not as much as I would have liked.
I have set I'm going to set up a bunch of - bugging device in one
of their comm units, so at least from that particular one I can get information.
Um, I don't know.
I did recognize someone who was being detained at the door.
They found this weird bug.
I I hold up the face.
Thing.
Communications!
By the way,
I should ask right before,
was I able to make enough communication devices for everyone in the larger group?
Uh, I-I sh**t.
Yep.
At the larger whole?
Okay.
Yep.
Yeah.
Oh!
Communication stuff.
Great.
I would love to take a look at this, and I would also love to trade these.
I have things for you here, here.
He starts handing out burners with big receivers on them that seem to also have
the functionality of blocking certain signals and such and so forth when it comes
to scanners and stuff.
They are secure military-grade communication devices.
Wow, amazing!
Thank you.
Yeah, that was great.
So, cigar virus thing.
Pickle Rick looking fucker.
What is this?
Oop.
Give.
Give me a device.
Give it to me.
I will look at it.
I'll slap the pan and tell him now.
Okay.
Unless, of course, you already know what it is, in which case...
I do know what it is.
It has very valuable information inside of it.
I'm a little hesitant to hand it over.
Well, I thought it was a bug itself.
Is this some kind of computer thing?
He hands it back.
I'm sorry.
Yeah, it's a computer.
Shit, computer.
So confusing.
So close.
One of the things I came to discover While we are on our show,
on our fact-finding mission
is that there seems to be Aya.
A
lack of communication between the National security, or
planetary security, And SoulSack.
SolSec.
So whatever is going on to target us is likely being done,
is likely focused in the planetary organization.
And they don't want, I think that perhaps
And, uh...
Emma was targeting
Targeted as an excuse to keep SolSec out.
Thank you very much.
Out of what?
That's a possibility.
They, uh...
They did not want SolSec involved in the investigation.
I really wish we had someone who had recorded yesterday's events on
a personal device so we could try to get to SolSec.
Thank you very much.
Wait, recorded?
What did you want recorded?
Like the events, if anybody had their, you know, Yeah,
don't know about that.
I No, I was too busy.
Busy killing fuckers.
It supports the,
you know,
our mob friends claim to have access to the unedited video, unedited security video.
Yeah.
We can get ahold of that and get
it too soul-sacked.
And I think that's what we're talking about.
Think that would clear our name.
I wouldn't trust the planetary security with it.
Are you also implying stealing from the criminals to get the unedited footage?
Or like brokering a deal with them?
Well, okay, okay.
We have this thing we can click.
We may also
want to see if we can get more of these masks,
because we've only got another two days while they still work.
We haven't come down from the
actual plan.
We have There isn't this tube.
Oh, and I picked the secretary's first computer off before he died and I brought
Before you die, then I brought it here.
Tried it here.
Here.
We may try to correlate, see what information we
actually have.
Yeah, I agree.
That would be a prudent action
at this time to just see Because we don't necessarily know...
what we have, but what kind of picture in total we have.
We just know Yeah, we have selected.
Select pieces, but seeing the whole picture, at least of what we
have, Based on what we have.
Will be good.
Okay.
I think, yeah.
It'll take a little bit of time to try
...to access the data from the toilet runner.
Oh, f**k.
Thank you.
Yeah.
Toilet gold monster?
Thank you, Mr.
I've been looking.
I have the highest computer, I believe.
Um, but...
Emma is a spy, so she may know more about it than I do.
Can I boost him?
Yeah.
So I've, um, uh.
Can roll your computer at a boon, Damien. Okay.
Okay.
Storyteller, would you mind And putting my right...
rifle back in the items in use?
Yeah.
Once I have finished this.
Okay.
The file is in We'll see you in the main chat.
Chat.
Okay.
Thank you.
Oh, it's a whole text file.
I'm gonna cut and paste this right into my notes.
Oh my gosh, this is so much bigger than I thought.
All right, it'll take me a while to process this information.
Are you sharing that file with us, or is that file just yours for right now?
I think it's just mine for right now,
because I feel like I'm gonna have to summarize it to people,
so I'd like to hold on to it for a little while.
That's perfectly fine.
I just, before I clicked into it and read anything,
I wanted to check if it was being shared now or later.
I will wait until the summer.
Summary or some other interaction.
Yeah, no worries.
Hold on, I'm trying to... Did we?
We didn't have a name for that bathroom guy, right?
Nope.
All right, I'm just going to call him Bathroom Guy.
Bathroom Guy.
Alright, research notes of the bathroom guy.
Okay.
Um,
I I don't want to hold up roleplay,
feel free while I read this, and then I will probably give it to you.
Give a summary and disseminate the file.
Mm.
Well then, literally, as Emma reads and decodes this Pickle Rick monstrosity...
Thank you very much.
As she does so, one thing that we could address, Uh, get the free address.
Readdress,
is if we do this task,
if we do this task within the day,
which is the one stipulation that Lucen gave to our little errand,
is it has to happen during the daytime.
Um, Thank you.
Um...
Which has made me wonder, Kind of, what is...
is the linchpin that makes it have to be daytime?
You know, hire...
higher visibility, maybe?
That's when their people will be there.
Spooky idea.
Hopefully that.
You know, it's hopefully just that.
Or just maybe when it's open.
Thank you.
Hopefully that as well.
You know, these are very optimistic ways to look at it.
I love these editing.
They said the drop-off had to happen during the day.
Okay.
Drop-off had to happen during the day.
Um...
If we do it within the daytime hours today, We can do so in a while.
Anonymously.
Completely not.
Anonymously.
I can help if you want.
Oh, yes.
I think we just,
you know,
I took it hella slow to get everyone here and the supplies that we have,
but I think I could fit, what did you say?
You said two individuals plus the driver or just the driver and the person?
Three people talk.
Three people total.
I could take three people on the bike,
not counting How much space does - the package is going to take, 36 Biocore.
36 and Six -and -a -quarter by...
26.
I don't know in what measurements that was.
So, imagine the size.
Size of a big golf bag.
Oh, yeah.
Okay.
So I just want to sayâ€”I'm happy to come.
I'm happy because come.
I'm sorry that I got us into this criminal underworld. Maybe
I think it's
a good idea, and even if it wasn't bad, I'm not going to lie.
Um, I don't know.
I am very suspicious of this going tits-up in some way.
So I don't know how good it would be
of Self -proclaimed self-proclaimed police-caller guy with,
what, you have zero gun experience?
You did pretty well in that fight, kind of.
I can shoot a gun, but I mean, anyway, I can shoot a gun, right?
You point it, you shoot it, it hits things.
I mean, I'm not like, you know, a bing-bang crack-shot guy.
Yeah, that's the linchpin for me.
If it does go bad, But the first book, like...
if it does go bad, you're in the worst spot.
If it goes perfect,
you're just kind of,
you know, like,
that's Like the people who will become coming along with the package That's a lot of
the time that people are, goes bad, and And I'm so sorry, Dan.
With all due respect, I don't know if that's you.
Thank you very much.
Is that you?
Okay.
Again, I could be wrong.
Wrong.
I don't know you about that.
Yeah, I'm not a shooter, I'm a thinker.
Yeah, I don't, you know, the people, But we're just carrying it.
Carrying a bag.
I don't think we're a thinker for carrying a bag.
If you wish to come, you can come, but...
I'm fine to do whatever.
I'm here for the team.
Okay.
Thank you.
Who wishes to do Stay Errant?
And should we bring Overwhelming Force?
Uh-oh.
Um...
I'm happy to help.
I can't drive, but if you need to be patched up or an extra gun, Thank you very much.
Help.
Can I Can I
make a street rise roll?
Roll to see if I think this is some kind of We have set up.
Or what kind of test I think this actually is?
This is the great suspicion.
And then after he's
done, I'm going to ask.
Yeah, I'll let you roll.
I just don't think it's like Yeah.
Don't even know if data is the problem.
Oh, okay.
Well, so to the data, we do have a
Toot.
Substack.
Place where we're going to Okay.
Make the phone call, right?
We don't know the location to drop it off, so we do have some data.
Storyteller.
It's a deal.
Well,
I thought what he meant was meant was
that there's not enough data to understand
whether we're being gamed or whether we're being I've been given a s**t.
straight task.
I thought that's what he meant.
Exactly.
That's what I mean.
Yeah.
I understand what he's saying.
Just because I have another point of view or another way to look
at this doesn't mean I don't understand what he's saying.
So hopefully you guys understand what I'm saying.
And if it's not the case, then help me out.
Because what I'm saying is that I think we have enough data to In And where he's...
sending us to go,
So those who are f*****g, familiar with streetwise, like, The Underworld stuff.
Stuff, we could have an idea of, oh, okay, well,
if this is a place that is going to be,
we're going to be seen,
or is this, like,
some place that,
oh, we've heard people getting set up to go here and have gotten, Yeah.
Like, picked up, you know what I mean?
So we do have some data.
A lot of the stuff We'll see you next time.
Journeys de Fermez This is...
They are genetic kind of domes where they have hyperfarming
Just...
or an every -dome dome focuses on a different piece of genetics.
Well, I hear what Carlos is saying,
and he And he said that he'd be willing to willing to let him roll.
So I guess it's a high difficulty,
and if he gets a crazy high roll,
maybe he's like, oh,
I heard about this thing,
and it works, and if he gets a weird roll, then he'll
roll his roll.
Oh, okay, never mind.
I have no idea.
So I was going to come
from a different point of view.
I just wanted to back him up on that as a player.
So what I was wondering And I think that's what we're talking about.
Because it was asked who is going to be coming with him,
if Um, it's - I'm relatively comfortable in the task Substack.
Of I love what Victor had meant.
Mentioned, And, you know, me being overwhelmed.
Overwatched with my rifle, or do I know the area well enough that I could
Mm-hmm.
Lea, uh, lead it.
It or back up, you know whoever is.
So So, like, you could get...
get driven to the place,
you could climb on the wall and make basically That would be a spot to get.
Give overwatch While they go to the show.
The dome.
Um,
If you're looking at the map,
it is number three,
so it's kind of under a large wall area and you see all the domes there.
Number 3.
three, okay.
Uh...
And, I mean, I I totally agree.
Totally accidentally moved you.
Oops.
And, It's Judith, I think.
Think that puts you as a It's called Soft 4.
four, like, in the group.
Like, if I take it slow and I just get to a location nearby, I jump you Thank you.
On fire, I think we can still bring three people.
Like, I really think you should come.
Yeah, I'm also validating that.
I will join.
Okay.
So I think the vibe is that But they're going to have...
have
Carla,
Alan, and Peter go pick up.
Uh, um, Substack.
Or drop off.
Well...
Pick up the package, drop Yeah.
It.
And there's, like I said, there's a little bit of an argument.
If someone else wants to go, So, that's who fits...
comfortably in the bike.
We're going to be dropping someone off beforehand.
Annette could just also keep up.
I'll just skiddly-doo alongside.
So my suggestion would be, that seems like it's five people.
What do you call it?
Carla on Overwatch, Annette outside, three people in.
That's five out of nine of us.
Yes?
Well, you have to drive Carla to the plane.
Yes.
Yeah, what I'm saying is...
saying we drive her and then we come back and we, like, yeah.
Oh, that might not allow us to do the drop-off in the daytime
if you're making round trips with the trike.
I think it's a total of four people.
Carla and Overwatch, Robot running alongside, and then the two other people in the trike.
I don't know the timing, I'm willing to believe you're correct.
We had four people on the So, on the back of my life.
Bike with supplies because Storyteller was so kind in not making us...
You're not doing that now.
So anyone more than the three people are going to have to do some type of holding
onto the bike roll.
No, that's what I'm saying.
We can do Oh, the three...
people on the bike easily and having the robot follow us.
Okay, it's done.
Okay.
So let's kind of basically do that.
You guys get to the wall.
You let off Judith so she can climb up and basically watch where you guys are going
to be doing the package pickup.
So, uh...
Thank you very much.
As you get to the location, you press the button on the communicator, You need a gamer?
You see a guy in blue overalls come out as he is He's bringing the box.
Box That's on a documentary.
$1.
dolly.
And he's...
And he says, are you here for this?
Here for the pickup?
Yes.
And he puts it on And the bike.
Bike, and he says...
Big travels, comrades.
Comrade.
Okay.
Thank you.
Same to you, comrade.
Okay.
And You're too drunk.
Drop it off at a particular house in the archaeology.
You're a...
Archaeology.
Center.
Unless there's any reason to stop, Kiernan would head into Kiernan would head.
So you pick up Uh, Judith, uh...
Judith.
Thank you very much.
I would say probably the strongest of you holds the box because it's heavy.
The guy had to have a dolly.
You guys make it to the archaeology.
Is anyone going to try to investigate or
open the box?
Thank you.
Nope?
Thank you.
What's in the box?
How I don't know.
If it comes...
you just come and slash the box?
Imagine a large large golf bag.
And a
golf bag.
Bag.
Uh...
Before anyone touches it, I say, wait.
And, uh...
First mission, do not open.
This will look perfect.
We have to play A long for now.
Now.
It didn't cross my mind.
He is driving,
so I don't know if he has the same ability to do other stuff during transit,
but the big thing he would want to do in this time, Uh, Kiernan?
Kiernan, It's just...
just keep his eyes out for Anything in any - anyone who is starting
to look untoward, And Ambush points, things like that.
If we're going to get jumped, it's going to be while we're on the move.
And so that's what he said.
Doing.
I'm assuming, I mean, I don't know if I'm holding it.
Holding the box.
Thank you very much.
The strongest person is who we're having hold the box.
I think you I think you have the highest strength.
Strength by a fair amount.
Okay.
What's that strength?
My strength is...
My strength is, uh, eight.
Your strength is eight?
Mine is eleven.
Okay, so, whatever has a light, you probably hold it.
Oh, mine is eleven.
Hell yeah!
So, by the way,
the bike has autopilot,
so as long as you're not trying to outrun someone, it will get you there.
Okay.
That's great.
Thank you very much.
He will actually turn on that autopilot,
shoulder his shotgun, and put the put the package, put his, you know, shoulder Yeah.
The package.
He puts it in a spot where it's easily at reach at any moment.
And then he just shoulders the shotgun and puts his eyes peeled.
You notice, by the way, on the side of the package that there is There's some type of...
of ...of fan and venti.
Venting system if you look at the picture.
What?
Let's go to the main chat.
Where is it?
It's the orange box.
Box Yes, I want to stay there.
In the main chat.
Oh, the above one?
Yeah.
At 9.59?
Oh, 10.06.
Thank you.
At 9.59?
Oh,
10 .06.
10.006.
I don't think so.
What are we looking at?
The box.
Thank you.
Kiernan Captain Kevin.
Has, especially with its And that's the size and stuff.
Stuff like that, and its sturdiness, I think he's got like Like a...
Boot on it, almost.
Oh, it's like a...
protective stance.
You know, sitting down.
Back in the trike and It's just looking all over.
All around, looking to see if there's someone Not on a rooftop or anything.
Anything like that.
And he's like, we're not opening the box, but we can definitely guess what's inside.
It's got the...
got little fans on it and stuff, and it came from an ag building.
I'm betting whatever is in this is alive.
Thank you.
Well, I bet it's It's just metal.
Metal.
Thank you.
Thank you very much.
Yes.
Did you hear anything squeak when you carried it?
Did I fucking hear anything squeak?
I give no shits.
I give no s**t.
shits.
Oh, come on.
We can give some shits.
Hey, I know how we can make people give a shit.
I bet 50 credits, whatever is in this box is a lie.
I don't even have credits, actually.
As a seasoned individual...
Bounty Hunter, I don't give a shit what is in this box.
Let's get this job done.
That's a very smart answer.
I like that answer.
I was with it before.
But come on, now there's money on the line.
You have to... No, listen, listen, listen.
If it's something dead,
if it's something alive, and if it's something, A thing, I would like to say
Would like to get your 50 credits.
No, no, no.
Hey, hey, hey!
I changed my answer.
Changed It doesn't need to be alive, okay?
Just carbon-based, even if it's remains, all right?
How long do I have to listen to this dravel?
Not long, luckily.
Yeah.
The entire ride, it is that.
He is going very much into The, like, Crayon Eater.
Eater, Jibber Jabber.
I feel like the mother hen who just realized that she should have not gone by herself.
See you tomorrow.
Yeah.
So, you are pulling up to the address that you were given, and there is a This is a...
security patrol, and there are Because, uh, Flags...
Oh.
Of the nation, and the security people are waving you in.
Hey, we have our veils on.
Mm-hmm.
jeder weiÃŸ.
Yeah, right?
I think...
I salute them as we
We get in.
I, well...
I will, yeah.
I will take off.
Off of autopilot and just in our comms, I think, as subtly as I can, You know, whatever.
Whatever, he will kind of ask the others, like, Are we gonna show up?
Up on anything funny with these veils?
I don't think so.
That's the whole point of the veils, right?
To be subtle.
Be quiet.
Okay, okay, fine.
Yes, drives in.
You guys see a gold plaque on the wall,
and it says,
Chief Helene Marchand,
Chief of Staff of the President,
and I'm going to put the name in the chat, and you see a fancy butler come out,
Um...
Uh...
Oh.
And he, uh...
he Yeah.
Asks, are you here to drop off a package?
Yes.
Thank you so much for being available.
Okay.
And he lifts What's up the...
package with one arm.
As you can imagine, he is cybernetically enhanced.
And he puts it on the floor.
And you notice that the two back knobs are Is there a security code where he has
to turn them in a certain fashion?
Fashion.
And as he turns out, turns them in a certain fashion, you We'll see you next time.
Gas release, and you hear a yipe from inside.
From inside.
Always 50 credits, fuck yes!
I'd smack
smack him!
I hope I hope you have a good one.
Good day, sir.
Yes.
As he opens the lid of the box, Once a corgi comes up, comes out.
Ah!
If you're a brother...
A purebred Corby!
I freak the fuck out.
Well, I don't freak the fuck out.
I smack him again.
You don't, because he doesn't say words.
He does not freak out.
You drive off.
If you're with me,
if you're saying things out loud,
I think you're saying things out loud in character.
I thought you were saying them out loud in character, to be fair.
Oh, he didn't.
Oh, he definitely said you owe me 50 credits.
He did say that.
Okay.
You guys drive away from the security as they We wave you past.
Past.
And you guys are able to return to the
safe area.
Now, I know that you ...a 50 grand to pay up on my...
my part, but lunch sometime.
You give me lunch.
I look at you.
We'll get lunch.
Bukharski.
No, you pay for it, though.
You pay for it, not me.
Okay, okay, okay.
Perfect.
Was the mission a success?
It was.
Unfortunately, it was nothing crazy.
It was a dog.
We transported a dog.
Huh it wasn't it? I wonder why It was a dog.
I wonder why it was in the ag building.
Do you think they have a dog farm?
Do you think they grow dogs?
I think our best dog...
And I'll see you next time.
I knew a guy back in the service who would say that must have been
a really rough mission, but
This gets
you...
gets us now
at least
initial bond with an information broker gets us a trach with
I'll see you next time.
Some of the supplies we've got.
Got, and while they've been off, I've been cataloging the supplies we did get.
Steve, I'm going to call Awesome judge of illegal characters.
Make a couple of go-backs.
Bags and things like that and tried to find places around the warehouse
that we've been crashing in to kind of hide them a little bit.
Um, and...
And And, uh...
turns like, great, all right, we have wheels, we have food, we have comms.
So are we going to
go after
Thank you.
Are we going to force our way into a building and get the data,
or does anyone else have That's another plan in mind.
Mind?
Well, you Well, if we don't want to go the hard route, we could always You know, get fake IDs.
IDs and get off the planet, right?
Well, I think we should ask the dolphin what he wants us to do,
Let's see what we can get out of here.
Out of it.
I like MS.
Emma's helping open up this tablet that I got off the secretary after they killed him.
And someone said about We've got a ship under the - the ocean we could fix up
as a backup plan?
Yep.
Definitely interested in finding out what Emma found out.
Yeah, so there's some...
Go ahead.
Oh, sorry.
Going to say I could start fixing things up if
you'd like.
Sorry.
That's fine.
I'm going to monologue, so I want you to get your thing out.
Yeah, whatever you need to get out.
I'm done.
That's all.
If you'd like me to fix it, I can.
Okay.
So, fix...
Wait, fix what?
The ship?
Under the sea?
Oh, okay.
I thought you wanted to fix the laptop that Damien got, and I was very confused.
Got it now.
I'm all good.
I suspect that's, like, electronics
or a computer's role, which is not my thing.
Yeah, okay.
Yeah, probably.
So this is the information that the senator was basically going to announce.
There's a lot of stuff Substack.
In here,
but the basic gist of it is that
for almost 50 years they've been running genetic tests and documenting it.
And there are ...multiple mark...
markers that Thank you.
May or may not lead to I hesitate to say psionic powers,
but definitely something Funny and in -hand.
Enhanced.
The file gets corrupted towards the end, though, so there's no other conclusion.
Um...
But, like, what is it here?
Okay.
Subject 18, predicted random matter generator 214 consecutive times.
Thank you very much.
Subject 21, consistently identified concealed playing cards.
So...
I'm hesitant to not call it psychic powers either.
It could be precognition,
which is itself a psychic power, but it's definitely one isolated type.
Substack.
And then I would like to disseminate this memo to The people around the world.
Around me, just because there's a lot of information in here.
But that's kind of the broad strokes.
Okay.
Yeah, but we're all, like, pure-bredded, like, boarding calls, right?
We are not.
No, no.
Some of us.
Most of us are.
And I look at the monkey.
Ha!
I mean, excluding the monkey.
I look at the robot.
Most of us are highly involved primates here, okay?
So...
We should just take the information we have
and
www.youtube.com
Let's see what we can do.
Do with it.
Well, I mean, wait a minute.
Now that I have access to this information...
Mmmmmmmmmmmm.
Okay, I'm seeing some markers in their correlations.
We have
established pretty solidly that Kiernan takes his
...is...
These genetic papers.
Papers extremely seriously.
Thank you very much.
And to a religious degree, He pulls up
He pulls out a out kind of this,
it's like,
I don't know how else to describe it, it's like a retractable papyrus thing.
Okay.
It, it, it...
He's got like a little setup for his papers that he She almost seems to have her.
Himself more than anything else.
Do any of these markers show up on his papers?
Or is it not that level of, like, it's not that language being used.
It's some language that these scientists are using in their own research notes.
And...
They're calling The markers are different.
Different things than your things are calling the markers.
Yes.
Okay.
So I would let someone try to do a science roll, though, to decipher what they're calling what.
Oh, okay.
I doubt my science.
That's...
that kind of Substack.
A little bit of maybe a maybe an answer to my question Yeah.
In the chat.
Uh-huh.
The corruption in the file...
Does anybody else get a chance to quote-unquote try to discern it or decipher it
or help her out to...
The corruption in the file
is final.
It is final.
The data is not there, that's The data is not there, is the problem.
Okay.
No, that's fine.
I just wanted to make sure if there was a possibility.
And, you know.
Yeah.
Okay.
But everyone who wants to try a science role can feel free to.
So, Um...
a great question.
The specialty on it would be biology.
Biology.
Okay.
Biology or genetic.
Genetics.
Substack.
Okay.
Everyone can try?
Everyone who has a science role can try.
I mean, if you have negative three, you know.
You're like, Jack of all trades, yay!
Wait, so I shouldn't do it if I have a negative three?
Yeah, that's what I was thinking.
Would there be a science role that is easier to do it with?
Um...
He just said genetics or biology.
Yeah, GenX or Biology would be the easiest.
Thank you very much.
What would the difficulty be on that?
I For genetics.
Would give you
a boon.
Oh, well, I rolled Genetics.
Feel free to
Thank you very much.
Re-roll if you like.
Feel Let's read every roll if
you like.
Like.
Ray, but what if I fuck it up again?
I have I'm a success!
Success this time.
I'll be generous.
You can't do worse
than you did.
Thank you very much.
Okay.
If she does, that's going to suck.
Is that right?
Carl is picking up what I'm putting down.
So, Colt, I do not see you with a genetics.
I see you with a zero.
Yes, I have jack of all trades.
I have science zero.
Thank you very much.
Yeah, You cannot declare a speck.
Specialty if you don't actually have a one in it.
Oh, what is it showing?
Show all of the sciences?
Because you get them all at Zero.
Oh, oh...
Oh, okay.
Okay.
Not mine, it's three.
Yeah.
So, if you have genetic zero, you do not get to have a specialty in genetics.
But Laura still did get six exceptional successes.
What an amazing success!
That's the best I've gotten all night!
Thank you.
Okay.
So first, let me pull up the actual data because It's, each part is actually...
actually kind of important.
Okay.
HX -14 is not human.
Human.
Okay.
It is some type of alien thing.
Okay.
SC-9 is Soleimani The Genetic Code.
Code, and you can pull that marker for anyone who has a genetic code thing That is
a actual passable gene.
Can you give the Did I mark her name again?
Again?
SC-9.
Okay, SC-9.
I didn't think I heard that right, but I did.
Okay.
And...
MY22 is a,
would normally be construed as a genetic frailty.
Imagine You know, like, Downs your...
you're missing a chromosome.
You have a genetic error that is duplicated from both sides of your family.
Okay.
I don't know how to spell Soleimani, apparently, but we're
just going to go with that.
Okay.
And PX4 Stacker is also...
non-human.
And when you say alien, can I tell it's not an And elevated.
Elevated animal alien, right?
It's something totally different?
Absolutely.
It is nothing that was created on Earth.
Okay.
Which also means you can throw out
So, uh...
Uh, Veigar.
Vygar.
Okay.
Because Vygar
are uplifted
Blows.
Yeah.
They are the counterpoint of the Tiger people.
Lion people.
Yes, but the Lion people actually are a genetic alien that evolved on their own planet.
The wolves Okay.
Are not.
I don't know enough enough about them,
I just
know that they have a dog race and a cat race.
Right. The cat race are actually genetic aliens, the dog race are uplifted dogs.
Nope.
That much percentage of non -human gene would also instantly make someone
a social pariah by the way.
Okay.
So, I'm going
to go ahead and do a few more questions.
And actually, let's actually be a little bit That's a clear...
The PX-4 is non-Solomani gene.
Oh, okay.
PHX-14 This is unequivocally - unequivocally alien, But the PX, that's...
PX-4 could be just another type of human that is not Solomani.
Thank you.
Okay.
And I'm just going to Copy this so everyone can do it.
Everyone has it.
Thank you.
It's going to be really clear, non-solient.
So, now that you have all that and you have Peter's genetics,
Peter does not have any of these genetics.
Okay.
Thank you very much.
Come One.
I cannot spell, but that's close enough.
I We will...
reassure...
Kirin that Cinnamon, that he does not have These markers, but But, depending on who you are.
Depending how you read the report, maybe you do want them.
I appreciate that you enjoy a plethora of advantages and privileges because
of your purity, but I mean,
It's...
Being able to describe
Describe a room on another floor that you've
never been in is kind of amazing.
Okay.
Bye.
You're clear.
I feel that we are going to actually end on that piece,
just to make sure everyone can digest everything that came into play.
Yes.
Um, The
kind of key things that we really want to probably decide...
Next game, you have to decide if you want to contact the fish...
Um...
Next game will be your last game with the Veils.
Thank you very much.
Okay.
That is good to know.
So you guys got to either figure out how to get new Veils or get something done with it.
Going with them.
Um...
So you might want to talk to the fish then.
You might want to find out why the Underworld wanted to send And basically...
basically the Vice President a Corgi.
Um, yeah.
Thank you.
You also have now You know, some evidence.
Evidence of the report, but you don't know why it's important other than
So...
And maybe they're...
You're having some type of...
psych or program.
Why does that involve you guys?
Why does that...
It does give you a greater correlation of,
hey, how our bullets got teleported out of our guns into this guy.
Thank you.
Uh-huh.
But finding a way to clear that information and get all that data is its own thing.
And you also have a reason now to go to TransStar to pick up your bullets and maybe
in there get a It's a safer kind of location.
Location that can't get ambushed.
Because you are in just a warehouse district area.
Ah.
So any other things I'm missing that people want to focus on next game?
I don't know how I would do this,
but I would want
to, well,
first of all,
I want to check out that laptop,
whatever thing that Damien's character picked up, Zoe.
And then two, would like, I don't, I would like to access our genetic code.
I
Before we go any farther, what laptop thing?
The thing that Damien picked up off the Senator.
He had a phone.
He had a laptop.
I tried to hack it.
Oh, got That one, you said it a few more times.
Got it.
Okay.
Got it.
Thank you.
Yes.
The one that has only a few more chances to decode.
Got it.
Yeah.
Okay.
Go on, Laura.
And then And I would like to ask you...
access our genetic code to see if any of us have those markers,
because maybe that's a lead into why we were chosen.
You would have to go to a lab.
To do it.
Or you'd have to find your own genetic records.
That's more what I was thinking about.
Do it.
But I don't know how to do that.
So maybe that's something we can discuss next game.
But Like, being sneaky.
Sneaky is much more than going to a lab and poking my finger for blood.
MR. So I would just just say that even if we found our records, how do we know they're correct?
Out of character.
Thank you.
Well, that's a great question.
Because it's all conspiracy.
In character, of course my genetic things are correct and impure.
Yeah.
So, those are the kind of key pieces.
And we will...
I'll have a game again in two weeks.
Thank you all for coming.
Alright, thank you everyone.
This was so much fun.
Thank you, Patrick.
Bye-bye.
Good night.
No one turned off the recorder.
Good night.
