• 0:29
  Speaker 2: the City of Bones, the Day were meant to be
• 0:33
  Speaker 2: a race of peacekeepers, but our creator didn't finish before
• 0:38
  Speaker 2: he was forced off world. The plan was to turn
• 0:42
  Speaker 2: the humans into day Nectar. The humans that worked at
• 0:46
  Speaker 2: our birthplace are the womb, turn them into day Nectar,
• 0:51
  Speaker 2: and then wipe all of our memories. I'm not supposed
• 0:54
  Speaker 2: to remember my brother, my sister, and myself. We with
• 0:59
  Speaker 2: a venium nights and we weren't allowed to be used
• 1:04
  Speaker 2: without the sacrifice of a human. We were too dangerous.
• 1:07
  Speaker 2: So there you, my brother and sister. A voice somewhere
• 1:12
  Speaker 2: in Dirk says womb factory reset Loss directive primus protect
• 1:19
  Speaker 2: and serve humanity. Lost directive secundo. To serve is to
• 1:25
  Speaker 2: give of oneself in every possible manner. Lost directive tertius
• 1:30
  Speaker 2: that humanity may be protected, defended, and avenged. Justice may
• 1:34
  Speaker 2: require acts of sacrificial violence. Then there's a shift in
• 1:38
  Speaker 2: the voice sol is directive actual, my children emulate humanity,
• 1:44
  Speaker 2: live among humanity, become human. Then there's another switch to
• 1:49
  Speaker 2: Dirk's voice spellbuck everwein she is coming for them. Which
• 1:53
  Speaker 2: side do we stand on? The great hiding is upon us.
• 1:56
  Speaker 2: My brother and sister will not see light as I
• 1:59
  Speaker 2: have a development from the Church of the New Babbel Day.
• 2:04
  Speaker 2: If you've kept up, you know that they recently introduced
• 2:07
  Speaker 2: a new station to their hierarchy, the Arch Day. They
• 2:10
  Speaker 2: also named her one Veronica Canter, claiming she had the
• 2:15
  Speaker 2: ability to tell and then impact the future. We're hearing
• 2:20
  Speaker 2: now from the church that they were wrong and the
• 2:22
  Speaker 2: young woman has turned to murder and heresy. The young
• 2:26
  Speaker 2: miscantor needs to be found and disciplined. If you see
• 2:29
  Speaker 2: this day woman, please report it to the authorities. Find
• 2:33
  Speaker 2: your guns, cast your way, ones, and your wives. We're
• 2:36
  Speaker 2: going to Warmilad's in Ngameeer's manner. There is a secret phone.
• 2:42
  Speaker 2: A young girl named Maria is hanging it up and
• 2:47
  Speaker 2: tears rained down on her spotted cheeks. She's gotten some
• 2:51
  Speaker 2: bad news. One of the great mysteries of the city
• 3:18
  Speaker 2: of New Babel is the day people, where they have
• 3:22
  Speaker 2: come from, and subsequently why they have souls and how
• 3:28
  Speaker 2: they have souls. The three of you have uncovered quite
• 3:33
  Speaker 2: a bit in the last couple hours. The factory of
• 3:38
  Speaker 2: the Day as well as a day receiving soul in
• 3:43
  Speaker 2: front of your very eyes. What are y'all doing? Ohly shit,
• 3:49
  Speaker 2: that's it? Uh you just ooh that's all he said.
• 3:53
  Speaker 1: I mean I would assume he was going to say,
• 3:55
  Speaker 1: who are you? Who am I?
• 3:57
  Speaker 2: Who am?
• 3:57
  Speaker 3: I would be scary. This kid doesn't know who he is.
• 4:01
  Speaker 3: He's a full grown man.
• 4:03
  Speaker 1: I saw he wasn't. He wasn't. He wasn't like me
• 4:10
  Speaker 1: until we woke him up. I saw soul enter him.
• 4:16
  Speaker 2: Souls made of electricity.
• 4:18
  Speaker 1: I don't think so, but somehow, I like when we
• 4:21
  Speaker 1: were when Swift shot and you know just upstairs, she
• 4:27
  Speaker 1: she didn't she was it. It was a robot. I'm
• 4:34
  Speaker 1: something different, Dirk's something different this well you were born. Yeah,
• 4:38
  Speaker 1: that's true.
• 4:39
  Speaker 3: These people were made, and it looks like the wrong
• 4:45
  Speaker 3: person could come here and make a lot more. Oh
• 4:48
  Speaker 3: do we get to trash this place? Waits that are
• 4:52
  Speaker 3: mind boggling. I'm just saying, we don't want to leave
• 4:56
  Speaker 3: this unattended. No we don't. We don't want someone to
• 5:03
  Speaker 3: make an army of slaves. I start making a small fire.
• 5:07
  Speaker 3: No stop, I stamp it out. Okay, what what these are?
• 5:13
  Speaker 1: This is my my ancestors, my family. I can't burn
• 5:18
  Speaker 1: their bodies. They haven't all of these haven't even woken
• 5:21
  Speaker 1: up yet.
• 5:22
  Speaker 3: We'd be killing them, kind of.
• 5:25
  Speaker 1: I think, so, I think, so what if I woke
• 5:27
  Speaker 1: everybody up in.
• 5:28
  Speaker 2: Here, that's going to take a lot of blood. I'll
• 5:33
  Speaker 2: start cutting.
• 5:33
  Speaker 1: No, no, no, everybody out there didn't have it.
• 5:37

  Speaker 3: Which is weird, right. It's like, did everyone involved in
• 8:42
  Speaker 3: this whole massive operation die?
• 8:46
  Speaker 1: I mean, based on what Dirk said, I think a
• 8:50
  Speaker 1: lot of people did die.
• 8:52
  Speaker 3: And maybe some of the people involved left the silent pilgrims.
• 8:59
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 9:01
  Speaker 3: The paper unfurls around Jason's head. Fun of you guys
• 9:04

• 9:17
  Speaker 1: radio night.

• 9:25
  Speaker 3: and I say, should we I don't know, say a
• 9:30
  Speaker 3: prayer or there's I just am looking at all these
• 9:35
  Speaker 3: bodies parts and I'm just like, this is heavy. The
• 9:41
  Speaker 3: people here that were made but not born, the people
• 9:46
  Speaker 3: that died to keep this a secret.
• 9:50
  Speaker 2: This is.
• 9:53
  Speaker 3: There's a lot here.
• 9:56
  Speaker 1: While Jamiir was talking, Quanta sets down the cardboard paper
• 10:01
  Speaker 1: box and listens to what he's saying, like heart like
• 10:08
  Speaker 1: full attention. You know, I I never I never believed
• 10:19
  Speaker 1: any of the stuff the church was teaching, not really
• 10:23
  Speaker 1: even when I became what I am. But I'm I'm
• 10:28
  Speaker 1: really touched. I think you're right. I think something something
• 10:35
  Speaker 1: to honor these people. But any any prayers I know
• 10:39
  Speaker 1: are are absolute bullshit.
• 10:43
  Speaker 3: I looked at Jason. Do you want to say some
• 10:47
  Speaker 3: words or.
• 10:49
  Speaker 1: My cock and eyebrow?
• 10:52
  Speaker 3: I look all over my like my paper suit. Do
• 10:55

  Speaker 1: before they left the planet, something like an eagle. So touching.
• 11:44
  Speaker 2: There is ten is a very close fail. Obviously there's
• 11:48
  Speaker 2: no prayer specifically, but I think there's inspirational things just
• 11:55
  Speaker 2: wrapped to your body because you're just in like library paper. Yeah,
• 11:59
  Speaker 2: just library library paper.
• 12:01

  Speaker 1: to make couple lot of stuff anyways, Yeah.
• 12:08
  Speaker 3: Go ahead and sell you something. That's the way.
• 12:11
  Speaker 1: I'd pick up the box again and head out of
• 12:12
  Speaker 1: the office and down the metal staircase to the room
• 12:17
  Speaker 1: where all these day bodies are hanging. Set down the
• 12:20
  Speaker 1: box again, light up both my hands with some sparkling electricity,
• 12:27
  Speaker 1: and hold them out before me. Just palms up, whoever
• 12:33
  Speaker 1: you are who spoke to me. I behold before me
• 12:40
  Speaker 1: the maid but unawakened, the created but uncreating. Perhaps the
• 12:51
  Speaker 1: future is still available to them. But if not, whatever
• 12:57
  Speaker 1: their souls were or or whatever happened to the humans
• 13:04
  Speaker 1: who were here. May they have peace. I slowly let
• 13:16
  Speaker 1: the electricity fizzle out in my hands as I bring
• 13:18
  Speaker 1: them down.
• 13:20
  Speaker 2: Roll a spirit check with your sense all right, sorry,

• 14:02
  Speaker 3: mothers of the day people.
• 14:06
  Speaker 2: We will fight for you.

  Speaker 1: Put my hand on Jamir's hand on my shoulder, and
• 14:14

  Speaker 3: of you, good night, good day.
• 14:33

  Speaker 3: do a little group hug. Guys, I'm feeling a huge
• 14:45
  Speaker 3: in the womb's hug. Would you accept phantoms lash Jason?
• 14:51
  Speaker 3: If Jamir is like, hey, come on in, man, I

  Speaker 3: think he'll be in the hug. But just like arms
• 14:57
  Speaker 3: at sides, extremely awkward, like be head rests on your shoulder.
• 15:02
  Speaker 1: Just in the middle jam and Quanta's arm.

• 21:18
  Speaker 2: Honestly, Jamyr it's you know, when when my mom said
• 21:24
  Speaker 2: that this would be my life, my role, I I
• 21:28
  Speaker 2: didn't know what to expect, and this is well far
• 21:33
  Speaker 2: beyond anything I imagined. We weren't around during the time
• 21:41
  Speaker 2: of heroes and it was It's one of those things
• 21:48
  Speaker 2: where it's hard to believe that it will happen, you know. Yeah,
• 21:58
  Speaker 2: So I'm I'm beside myself. I I want to help.
• 22:04
  Speaker 2: This is was the the dream of my mom and
• 22:10
  Speaker 2: your grandmom, and I want to help how I can.
• 22:16
  Speaker 3: Well, it's so big, it is big, and that there's
• 22:21
  Speaker 3: more and more we keep uncovering. I don't know if
• 22:25
  Speaker 3: you've been down in the nest lately, but it's starting
• 22:27
  Speaker 3: to get a little crowded.
• 22:29
  Speaker 2: Oh, I've met the day man who's alive. He seems
• 22:37
  Speaker 2: like a nice man.
• 22:39
  Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, we got too unconscious down there now all
• 22:43
  Speaker 3: we've found another. We found another from a previous time,
• 22:47
  Speaker 3: maybe from my grandmother, our grandmother's time. I put a
• 22:55
  Speaker 3: hand on her elbow and just say, I want you
• 22:58
  Speaker 3: to be safe. But this is this is the focal
• 23:03
  Speaker 3: point of some hot ship in this city, and if
• 23:08
  Speaker 3: people find out about it, we're all fucked. And I
• 23:13
  Speaker 3: don't want the heat to come down on you at all.
• 23:25
  Speaker 2: Jam Here, my roller coax check jim here.
• 23:37
  Speaker 3: Okay, by mighty T six, that's a two.

  Speaker 1: You can succeed on a too, you can fail on
• 23:53
  Speaker 1: a toow.
• 23:55
  Speaker 2: What is it ridiculous, Jamier. My mom was supposed to
• 24:10
  Speaker 2: be here for you and her life was cut short.
• 24:23
  Speaker 2: It wasn't natural causes or age. My dad's my dad's
• 24:39
  Speaker 2: important in the crime world in this city. Oh no,
• 24:46
  Speaker 2: And I mean my mom got too involved, knew too much,
• 24:53
  Speaker 2: told the wrong people, and he he had to take
• 24:57
  Speaker 2: her out.
• 24:58
  Speaker 3: You're You're dad killed your mom, Marie.
• 25:03
  Speaker 2: She nods sadly.
• 25:05
  Speaker 3: Marie. I'm so sorry.
• 25:07
  Speaker 2: Yeah, thanks, but this place needs heroes, and I don't
• 25:14
  Speaker 2: know if I'm one. But if I can give you
• 25:18
  Speaker 2: all a haven while you work, that would make me
• 25:25
  Speaker 2: proud and make me a mom proud.
• 25:29
  Speaker 3: Jason's eating cheese behind you, guys, shadows, So you know
• 25:35
  Speaker 3: people in the.
• 25:36
  Speaker 2: Irish mad She nods solemnly. What's your dad's name? He's
• 25:44
  Speaker 2: looking for me? Uh huh, so please be careful with this.
• 25:49
  Speaker 2: Of course, his name is Seamus. He's a pretty big deal.
• 25:58
  Speaker 3: Would I know his last name? Jason's like choking on cheese.
• 26:05
  Speaker 2: I haven't heard from him in a while.
• 26:08
  Speaker 3: Would you you would have told me by now? Your
• 26:12
  Speaker 3: Irish mob dealings. We've had some multiple breakdowns.
• 26:15
  Speaker 2: Right some.
• 26:16
  Speaker 3: Yeah, we've talked a little bit about it. Names have
• 26:19
  Speaker 3: been named. Sorry, yeah, yeah, be kind of met at
• 26:21
  Speaker 3: being like, would would you me or connect? These dots
• 26:24
  Speaker 3: are probably not I don't know. I think I may
• 26:26
  Speaker 3: have mentioned it in passing.
• 26:28
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I don't think Jason has been careful with name.
• 26:33
  Speaker 2: That sounds like that, okay, but he knew about the
• 26:42
  Speaker 2: nest and about the ever wing.
• 26:46
  Speaker 3: My dad, Yeah, no, nor your grandmother kept that from
• 26:50
  Speaker 3: your mom and him.
• 26:52
  Speaker 2: Her mom her mom was ever Wing's aid and Butler.
• 26:57
  Speaker 3: Oh Ship, you're right, You're right. I'm getting confused.
• 27:01
  Speaker 2: It was grandma first, then mom more recently, yes, and
• 27:04
  Speaker 2: then her dad killed her mom.
• 27:06
  Speaker 3: Sorry, that's okay, Okay, So your mom kept it from
• 27:11
  Speaker 3: your dad.
• 27:13
  Speaker 2: Of course she didn't trust him fully, right, And he
• 27:21
  Speaker 2: knew that she worked in this part of the city.
• 27:23
  Speaker 2: But that's all he knew.
• 27:27
  Speaker 3: Okay, Maria. How close are you with your brother.
• 27:36
  Speaker 2: Shay mm hmmm.
• 27:38
  Speaker 3: I look at Jason. Why you know she doesn't friends?
• 27:43
  Speaker 2: We are? Yeah, you have brother. I I love little Shae.
• 27:52
  Speaker 2: But he he went the road of my dad, and
• 27:58
  Speaker 2: I went the road of my mom. I've recently he called,
• 28:08
  Speaker 2: and I've recently got some bad news. He's he's losing it. Yeah,
• 28:18
  Speaker 2: I'm I've been made aware of that recently. Now, obviously,
• 28:25
  Speaker 2: I don't want to cause a rift if there isn't
• 28:30
  Speaker 2: one already. But if you happen to know anything that
• 28:35
  Speaker 2: would maybe help us stop Shade from doing what he's doing.
• 28:43
  Speaker 2: It's not our it's on our list of things to do.
• 28:47
  Speaker 2: I do everything I can to keep this part of
• 28:53
  Speaker 2: my life separate from my family, of course, and there's Jamira.
• 29:01
  Speaker 2: I may perhaps you don't know. There's a phone with
• 29:03
  Speaker 2: a specific number in the pantry, and that's the number
• 29:07
  Speaker 2: I gave him if you ever needed me. And he
• 29:10
  Speaker 2: called and I tried to dissuade him from the path
• 29:14
  Speaker 2: he's on. He was raving about taking the city for
• 29:21
  Speaker 2: our family. Okay, that's all I know. Thank you for
• 29:27
  Speaker 2: telling me about the phone. I'm glad you're still in
• 29:31
  Speaker 2: contact with your brother. You're doing a great job, and
• 29:36
  Speaker 2: we're gonna do everything we can to keep you safe.
• 29:41
  Speaker 2: And if you ever want to put on one of
• 29:43
  Speaker 2: those suits down there and let me know, Maria, because
• 29:48
  Speaker 2: I trust you. Okay, Okay, we're in this together. Okay,
• 29:54
  Speaker 2: I'm all the way. I'm in it with you. I'm
• 29:56
  Speaker 2: here to help. Shall we cheese plate? Let's take this downstairs? Yeah?
• 30:04
  Speaker 1: Really, I've been just downstairs.
• 30:06
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 30:07
  Speaker 3: I finished plating the washed grapes and strawberries, and I
• 30:12
  Speaker 3: bring down the cheese plate. I was going to ask
• 30:14
  Speaker 3: for more descriptions on what was on the cheese plates.
• 30:16
  Speaker 3: I'm glad, I'm on it.
• 30:19
  Speaker 2: She'd have trusted him, Ronnie. You wait for the boys
• 30:23
  Speaker 2: down here. Wait for them to bring the cheese plate
• 30:25
  Speaker 2: you are holding in your hand, the permoseel, one of
• 30:30
  Speaker 2: the permo cels. What's going through Ronnie's heart and head
• 30:35
  Speaker 2: as she prepares to wake Dirk up potentially in a
• 30:42
  Speaker 2: potentially indefinitely.
• 30:45
  Speaker 1: I feel the weight balance of this EpiPen sized shunting
• 30:57
  Speaker 1: device in my hand, looking at the liquid swirling around.
• 31:05
  Speaker 1: I want to push in to see if I can
• 31:09
  Speaker 1: understand it in any more capacity with being able to see. Yeah,
• 31:14
  Speaker 1: the electrical interactions, Yeah, make a sense, check sense with
• 31:20
  Speaker 1: scan five five. This is a difficult check. I'm rolling
• 31:24
  Speaker 1: in D twelve rolled to two.
• 31:29
  Speaker 2: I'm not I'm not a scientist. So you are? You are?
• 31:38
  Speaker 2: You are scientists? And then not very many scientists out there.
• 31:41
  Speaker 2: This is America, this is America. God damn it. We
• 31:44
  Speaker 2: can all be scientists. Want There is something contained in
• 31:50
  Speaker 2: human blood that Dirk needs two active to be awake.
• 32:02
  Speaker 2: It is something that is in most day It is
• 32:05
  Speaker 2: part of the nectar that flows through you. All This
• 32:08
  Speaker 2: permaicel would do, would inject that continuously through dark but
• 32:16
  Speaker 2: you could remove it still and he would go back
• 32:19
  Speaker 2: after a time to the dormant state.
• 32:25
  Speaker 1: So having that suspicion confirmed. Ronnie again wonders if this
• 32:30
  Speaker 1: is the right choice, knowing what he's done, what he
• 32:35
  Speaker 1: was on a mission to do after freeing him. But
• 32:40
  Speaker 1: at the end of that thought, she just cannot stomach
• 32:44
  Speaker 1: being like the church council and holding him in this state,
• 32:51
  Speaker 1: only to wake him for when it's convenient for her.
• 32:56
  Speaker 3: As we walked down the stairs, Jason mouthful of cheese
• 32:59
  Speaker 3: talking to Quanta's dad. Seventeen holes, you said, that's so
• 33:03
  Speaker 3: many holes. Yeah, it's an odd number.
• 33:07
  Speaker 2: Two. Yeah, it's strange. It's the way that we were
• 33:10
  Speaker 2: made aid. Hello, we got cheese and grapes, great grape.
• 33:18
  Speaker 3: As as as we're snacking awkwardly, I say, you trust Dirk.
• 33:24
  Speaker 1: Right, No, not in the way that I think you're asking. Yeah,
• 33:34
  Speaker 1: but I I have to. I have to let him go.
• 33:39
  Speaker 3: If we're going to use these, maybe let's not use
• 33:46
  Speaker 3: them here. Okay, maybe we go somewhere in the sewers.
• 33:53
  Speaker 1: Yeah, go in the pneumatic tubes.
• 33:56
  Speaker 3: I want to bring our mystery man and see if
• 33:59
  Speaker 3: they're recognizes him. I mean, all things point to he should.
• 34:04
  Speaker 3: I also want to bring the costume, just see if
• 34:08
  Speaker 3: any any bells are ringing. Everything points to this guy
• 34:12

• 34:18
  Speaker 3: I looked at Jason.
• 34:21
  Speaker 1: He was before the day appeared.

  Speaker 2: Absolutely, and it's been last time we talked. He said,
• 38:42
  Speaker 2: sixty years since the Evo's left.
• 38:46
  Speaker 1: That's right about that.
• 38:49
  Speaker 2: And in the meantime, I'm forgive me. I'm remembering two
• 38:53
  Speaker 2: streams of existence all at once.
• 38:57
  Speaker 1: I think Jason could probably relate.
• 39:00
  Speaker 2: Mm hm, you want some grapes? Sure? Yeah, take some food.

• 40:40
  Speaker 1: My father is close and he at Lance. Yes, yeah,

• 42:07
  Speaker 1: With the Pilgrims.
• 42:09
  Speaker 2: No, the Pilgrims had left long before Silent pilgrims went
• 42:12
  Speaker 2: to Venus and we didn't hear from them. Evos then
• 42:16
  Speaker 2: were forced off planet a few years later.
• 42:19
  Speaker 1: So with the Evos correct.
• 42:21
  Speaker 2: And I made the decision that if I, if the
• 42:27
  Speaker 2: Evos were all leaving, that the city would still need heroes.
• 42:31
  Speaker 2: And I stayed. But he he told me that he
• 42:40
  Speaker 2: would have to wipe my memory, that he would have
• 42:44
  Speaker 2: to restart me, that I wouldn't have my permaseel. Why
• 42:49
  Speaker 2: he was worried about I was worried about what would
• 42:53
  Speaker 2: happen if anyone discovered the womb, and so no one
• 42:58
  Speaker 2: could have that memory.
• 43:01
  Speaker 1: So he took all of yours.
• 43:04
  Speaker 2: Yes, seems though it remained in the permasel, which I'm
• 43:09
  Speaker 2: grateful for.
• 43:12
  Speaker 3: You said, your permacel. We found these other ones? Would
• 43:15
  Speaker 3: those have other stuff in it?
• 43:17
  Speaker 2: Those were meant for my brother and sister, But they
• 43:20
  Speaker 2: were never used. As I said, they were never awoken.
• 43:23
  Speaker 1: And we can't lift swift shot get these.
• 43:25
  Speaker 2: No, And what do they taste like? Oh my god,
• 43:29
  Speaker 2: I have no idea. I think it's grape. I doubt
• 43:32
  Speaker 2: that it would taste like a grape. I think it'd
• 43:34
  Speaker 2: be okay to drink. Probably I wouldn't I wouldn't drink it.
• 43:37
  Speaker 1: Quantum makes a face like something sour ash. She's currently
• 43:39
  Speaker 1: chewing a grape.
• 43:43
  Speaker 3: I mean, we have two, and we have your brother
• 43:49
  Speaker 3: right here. Yes, strange.
• 43:52
  Speaker 2: I the the ethics of this question. The if he
• 43:58
  Speaker 2: were simply a shell and never activated, I wouldn't feel
• 44:06
  Speaker 2: the need. But since you have awoken him and it
• 44:09
  Speaker 2: seems you say for a couple of seconds maybe, but
• 44:15
  Speaker 2: soul went in, there's something there for sure. So it
• 44:19
  Speaker 2: is strange. But also I don't know the mystery of
• 44:23
  Speaker 2: where they get their soul, and we could I do
• 44:27
  Speaker 2: not for us to decide, of course, But I don't
• 44:32
  Speaker 2: know who he is. I don't know what he's like.
• 44:37
  Speaker 2: I know that he his body was given power. Clearly
• 44:42
  Speaker 2: he can. I was just given extensive ability, greater reflexes,
• 44:49
  Speaker 2: greater strength, greater speed. I was the prototype. My brother
• 44:54
  Speaker 2: and sister have all of that. But my brother has
• 44:58
  Speaker 2: extra venio within him that he can move around his body,
• 45:06
  Speaker 2: perhaps his chest or his head if he needed to
• 45:08
  Speaker 2: protect it, or his fists if he were to attack.
• 45:12
  Speaker 2: My sister was given everything that they could come up with,
• 45:17
  Speaker 2: and they were bright energy, control, movement, invisibility, everything. My
• 45:25
  Speaker 2: brother and I have. They are dangerous. Venim Knights were
• 45:31
  Speaker 2: meant to be dangerous protectors, and I was dangerous enough,
• 45:40
  Speaker 2: and my brother and sister that they were waiting for
• 45:43
  Speaker 2: the right time to reveal. But I don't know who
• 45:47
  Speaker 2: he is and my sister I don't know who she is. Well,
• 45:53
  Speaker 2: we got a bunch of tapes.
• 45:54
  Speaker 1: My head is spinning.
• 45:55
  Speaker 3: And you know about ever Wing's secret hideout.
• 46:03
  Speaker 2: Yes, she was kind enough to allow us to stay
• 46:07
  Speaker 2: there when needed, and she trusted you. Yes, hell, do
• 46:11
  Speaker 2: you have access to the nest? It's yeah, a tube
• 46:15
  Speaker 2: time away, wonderful. There's much there that could help.
• 46:19
  Speaker 3: Oh and you probably know spell books. Spell book, Yes,
• 46:23
  Speaker 3: I just take my shirt off. Oh his eyes go wide.
• 46:27
  Speaker 2: A wicked piece of not tech, but but oh well,
• 46:33
  Speaker 2: a wicked piece of writing. I never got good feelings
• 46:37
  Speaker 2: around that spell book. Was a good man. But okay,
• 46:41
  Speaker 2: you had to control that. And now you're that's it.
• 46:43
  Speaker 2: You're saying that's in you. Yep, my chest is that book.
• 46:47
  Speaker 2: That book is my chest. It's strange.
• 46:51
  Speaker 3: I don't want to I mean, probably anyone that all
• 46:56
  Speaker 3: the most of the people, unfortunately, I gestured to my helm,
• 47:01
  Speaker 3: my grandmother everwink has passed. I assume all the heroes
• 47:07
  Speaker 3: you fought alongside have passed. But did you know whose
• 47:15
  Speaker 3: Spellbook was under the mask? Jason puts his shirt on
• 47:20
  Speaker 3: backwards and then inside out, and then upside down and
• 47:23
  Speaker 3: then just.
• 47:23
  Speaker 2: Leaves it off. There were three heroes, the Big Three
• 47:29
  Speaker 2: they called themselves or were called by the press. Yes,
• 47:33
  Speaker 2: War Hero, Inspector, Claw and the Range. Of course I
• 47:39
  Speaker 2: did not know their true identities and do not. And
• 47:44
  Speaker 2: then there were us three. There were many more, but
• 47:48
  Speaker 2: the three of us were close. Spellbook Everwing, bright Blade myself.
• 47:54
  Speaker 2: We did share the secret of our true personas. Do
• 48:01
  Speaker 2: you know the name Arthur right m.
• 48:06
  Speaker 3: Yes, yeah, I swear if he's Spellbook, I'm gonna kick
• 48:10
  Speaker 3: someone's ass.
• 48:12
  Speaker 2: He is not.
• 48:13
  Speaker 3: Okay, I'll still kick someone's ass.
• 48:16
  Speaker 2: But the story of Spellbook is a tragic one, and
• 48:19
  Speaker 2: one for his telling.
• 48:23
  Speaker 3: He's alive still. Yeah, he's an old man. Oh, he's
• 48:28
  Speaker 3: extremely Like, think of the oldest person you've ever thought of,
• 48:31
  Speaker 3: and then add like twenty more years on there. Wow,
• 48:35
  Speaker 3: that is old. I mean he's sixty years older than
• 48:37
  Speaker 3: when you knew him last. So he was a young
• 48:39
  Speaker 3: man when I knew him. He talks like, that's what
• 48:42
  Speaker 3: he sounds like.
• 48:43
  Speaker 1: That's very good impression. Actually, Jason, that's what he says, like, Yeah,
• 48:49
  Speaker 1: it was more like Jesu.
• 48:51
  Speaker 2: Oh yeah, more dusty year. Well the story was. I
• 48:56
  Speaker 2: believe it is his to tell and I will allow
• 49:00
  Speaker 2: him that right if he's still remaining, If if he perishes,
• 49:04
  Speaker 2: I will tell you how the time it takes us
• 49:06
  Speaker 2: to get back.
• 49:09
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I have. I don't know where to start with,
• 49:14
  Speaker 1: asking about the day and why we were made, where
• 49:18
  Speaker 1: we came from. Why did Laner make us? Is this venem?
• 49:23
  Speaker 1: I like, knock on my forearm.
• 49:25
  Speaker 2: It is venem, and it is not. It is an
• 49:28
  Speaker 2: alloy made with some earth metals.
• 49:32
  Speaker 1: Is venem not of earth?
• 49:34
  Speaker 2: It is strange. No venim is not of earth. It
• 49:37
  Speaker 2: is strange. My experience as a day is so different
• 49:43
  Speaker 2: from yours. I was my creators first and pet project.
• 49:53
  Speaker 2: He did not expect me to receive soul, but when
• 49:56
  Speaker 2: I did, he treated me as person and we talked
• 50:01
  Speaker 2: much about everything. It is strange that these secrets were kept,
• 50:05
  Speaker 2: but I believe, I hope he was right in keeping them.
• 50:11
  Speaker 1: He didn't want anyone to find the womb because well.
• 50:15
  Speaker 2: I think he was a good man. To my knowledge,
• 50:21
  Speaker 2: I think that he worried that even if if an
• 50:26
  Speaker 2: indecent person came across the technology, he was so good
• 50:32
  Speaker 2: at what he made that it would not be hard
• 50:35
  Speaker 2: to activate the factory and create more day and to
• 50:39
  Speaker 2: code them differently and cause them to have a different purpose.
• 50:45
  Speaker 1: So the the new directives were from him once he
• 50:50
  Speaker 1: realized what who you were?
• 50:54
  Speaker 2: The new directive, the directive, the actual directive primus. The
• 50:59
  Speaker 2: final directive was meant was a reaction to running out
• 51:05
  Speaker 2: of time. He was forced off world, and he didn't
• 51:10
  Speaker 2: want to leave behind a police force that hadn't been tested,
• 51:16
  Speaker 2: and so he freed them to become human again, not
• 51:20
  Speaker 2: knowing exactly where the day soul comes from or why
• 51:25
  Speaker 2: he used me as that test that a soul would come.
• 51:30
  Speaker 1: You just had them in the womb and when he
• 51:33
  Speaker 1: left just freed them. Wow, we've been to the womb.
• 51:42
  Speaker 1: There's a lot of parts there. You don't think those
• 51:49
  Speaker 1: were meant to be more people or similar to the
• 51:53
  Speaker 1: ones released or different, or they had to cease in
• 51:57
  Speaker 1: the middle of production. If they have not been awakened yet,
• 52:01
  Speaker 1: then my belief is that they would not be person,
• 52:05
  Speaker 1: but it's messy. Yes, we can't be sure.
• 52:10
  Speaker 3: Well, now that you're awaken, you've got a permanent soul
• 52:15
  Speaker 3: juice in you. Is anything else permanent? And I'm just
• 52:20
  Speaker 3: curious question. It seems I retain my strength okay, but
• 52:28
  Speaker 3: so like if you're back up to one hundred percent,
• 52:30
  Speaker 3: like you've got all your memories and stuff, like, do
• 52:32
  Speaker 3: you wanna maybe help us.
• 52:36
  Speaker 2: Fight some people.
• 52:37
  Speaker 3: There's a lot of messed up stuff in the city,
• 52:40
  Speaker 3: as you could imagine, and we're trying to do some good.
• 52:44
  Speaker 2: Yes, well, there's much for me to do. I need
• 52:47
  Speaker 2: to first, I need to find my sister. If she's
• 52:49
  Speaker 2: out there, I'm no telling how much danger she could
• 52:53
  Speaker 2: be to the city, especially if she's being controlled by
• 52:57
  Speaker 2: the people that were controlling me. Yeah, she kind of
• 52:59
  Speaker 2: kicked our butts. Yeah, she was tough.
• 53:01
  Speaker 1: I don't know how they prevented her from becoming a
• 53:04
  Speaker 1: person though, if they if they did that, or if
• 53:07
  Speaker 1: that was a glitch.
• 53:09
  Speaker 2: Well in her, tell me what happened. When you tell
• 53:12
  Speaker 2: me exactly what happened when you awakened, my brother rock Fist.
• 53:17
  Speaker 1: Was full of power and as you know, body for
• 53:23
  Speaker 1: lack of a better term, came online I could see that,
• 53:27
  Speaker 1: and then he was machine one moment, and the next
• 53:30
  Speaker 1: he wasn't and said who And then we'd only given
• 53:36
  Speaker 1: him enough that he passed out at that point.
• 53:39
  Speaker 2: So my creator told me that he had activated me
• 53:47
  Speaker 2: well before my soul came. And so I don't it
• 53:54
  Speaker 2: seems as though for rock Fist it was immediate. That
• 53:57
  Speaker 2: doesn't mean it was immediate for the first day that came.
• 54:01
  Speaker 2: It wasn't immediate.
• 54:02
  Speaker 3: For me.
• 54:02
  Speaker 2: It might not be immediate for my sister. So maybe
• 54:06
  Speaker 2: they didn't keep the soul from her. Perhaps it didn't
• 54:10
  Speaker 2: happen yet when you encountered her.
• 54:13
  Speaker 1: Right, because when the first generation appeared, they were just machines.
• 54:18
  Speaker 2: Interesting, So I need to find my sister. I need
• 54:23
  Speaker 2: to clear your name. Oh you said they great?
• 54:28
  Speaker 1: What?
• 54:30
  Speaker 2: Yes? Clearly?
• 54:32
  Speaker 1: How? Oh really you could do that?
• 54:35
  Speaker 2: Yes? They they You told me before that they blamed
• 54:42
  Speaker 2: you for killing Jerry and that's why you're in.
• 54:46
  Speaker 1: Trouble and and Will Jerry and Will yes, but Jerry
• 54:52
  Speaker 1: killed Will right.
• 54:55
  Speaker 2: I My eyes have h ability to record always and
• 55:02
  Speaker 2: so I have everything in there. Oh how my killing
• 55:06
  Speaker 2: of Jerry that is?
• 55:08
  Speaker 1: But we need your help, and if you admit to
• 55:11
  Speaker 1: all that you know the arrest you.
• 55:16
  Speaker 2: Let them try. Hell yeah, Hell yeah. You are younger,
• 55:25
  Speaker 2: You have not the baggage of this city that I carry,
• 55:30
  Speaker 2: though you do have your own, clearly, but you are
• 55:34
  Speaker 2: better for this city than I am. They need you
• 55:36
  Speaker 2: more than they need me. If your name can be cleared,
• 55:40
  Speaker 2: it should be.
• 55:43
  Speaker 1: Thank you.
• 55:46
  Speaker 2: My understanding. I believe you told me that they think
• 55:48
  Speaker 2: you're dead right now?
• 55:49
  Speaker 1: Yes?
• 55:50
  Speaker 2: Do you want that to be the same or would
• 55:54
  Speaker 2: you not?
• 55:54
  Speaker 1: If I can clear my name, then I can go freely.
• 56:00
  Speaker 1: I have support now, I'm not as afraid of those
• 56:03
  Speaker 1: men anymore.
• 56:04
  Speaker 2: I will clear the name. Veronica and Quanta will remain
• 56:10
  Speaker 2: your secret works for me, So I need to do that.
• 56:15
  Speaker 2: I should probably find the rest of the Church council.
• 56:18
  Speaker 2: I don't have the same bloodlust I did before, now
• 56:20
  Speaker 2: that the memories of my hero days are back.
• 56:23
  Speaker 1: I do none. Thumbs up to my friends.
• 56:26
  Speaker 2: Not running on blood makes sense well. And the time
• 56:29
  Speaker 2: you spoke to me last, most of my memory was
• 56:31
  Speaker 2: them waking me up to be their assassin.
• 56:33
  Speaker 1: And I was angry, horrible, and I am very sorry
• 56:38
  Speaker 1: for the part I played in that. I didn't know,
• 56:41
  Speaker 1: and when I found out, I tried to make it right.
• 56:45
  Speaker 2: My understanding of the events that as soon as after
• 56:49
  Speaker 2: the first time I saw you, I was given freedom,
• 56:56
  Speaker 2: and to me that means that you didn't take a lofe.
• 57:02
  Speaker 1: He tried not to.
• 57:03
  Speaker 3: So thank you, mister right blade, since you were a hero.
• 57:15
  Speaker 3: I mean, there haven't been heroes for a long time,
• 57:20
  Speaker 3: and the people in control in this city have worked
• 57:24
  Speaker 3: very hard to erase and obscure that history. But it
• 57:32
  Speaker 3: desperately needs heroes again, and we're honored to help you.
• 57:39
  Speaker 2: The notion is commendable. I in this moment feel that
• 57:50
  Speaker 2: I am now meant to help you. You know the
• 57:53
  Speaker 2: landscape of this city, you know what needs doing. If
• 57:58
  Speaker 2: there's a fight, to call me. How did you not
• 58:04
  Speaker 2: the nest has did you not find the the nest
• 58:08
  Speaker 2: has communicator communicated for all.
• 58:09
  Speaker 3: The No, no, let's let's I mean, I don't know
• 58:13
  Speaker 3: why you've been in the nest more than we have.
• 58:14
  Speaker 3: We'll show you how to get there from here. We
• 58:17
  Speaker 3: just your here is a precaution, I understand. I try
• 58:22
  Speaker 3: to respectfully pick up his brother, put him on my
• 58:25
  Speaker 3: shoulder and say follow.
• 58:27
  Speaker 2: Me, sir, very well.
• 58:48
  Speaker 3: Jamiir is trying to not like geek out, like with
• 58:52
  Speaker 3: Dirk like realizing who he was, and Jamir being like,
• 58:56
  Speaker 3: I'm in the presence of greatness.
• 59:00
  Speaker 2: And Jason's shirt is inside out.
• 59:02
  Speaker 1: Quanta is just trying to like create a whole new
• 59:06
  Speaker 1: paradigm of what she understands about herself and the day
• 59:10
  Speaker 1: and the history.
• 59:12
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I lead us back to the nest. You head
• 59:16
  Speaker 3: back to the nest.
• 59:17
  Speaker 2: As you're walking, Jason, he comes over to the wagon
• 59:20
  Speaker 2: that you're carrying behind you.
• 59:23
  Speaker 3: That wagon, my little white wagon, little white wagon. That
• 59:27
  Speaker 3: white ash, my white ash.
• 59:33
  Speaker 2: And he sees the bright blade suit. Ah wow, Oh yeah,
• 59:39
  Speaker 2: are you like naked right now? No, okay, all right,
• 59:46
  Speaker 2: this is yours if you want it. We're not.
• 59:49
  Speaker 3: We just brought it in case you wanted it. We
• 59:52
  Speaker 3: thought it might jog your memory, sir.
• 59:56
  Speaker 2: It does in a way and a deeper way than
• 59:59
  Speaker 2: you even the Hermosel would. He picks it up and
• 1:00:03
  Speaker 2: kind of runs his hands along it, smiles, looking at it,
• 1:00:09
  Speaker 2: kind of like a child might look at an old drawing.
• 1:00:12
  Speaker 2: They did and appreciate their younger selves in a way.
• 1:00:18
  Speaker 2: If you need to change, we can look away. No,
• 1:00:22
  Speaker 2: there's no reason for me to done this, not now,
• 1:00:26
  Speaker 2: because you're not naked, right, I have clothes on, normal clothes,
• 1:00:30
  Speaker 2: normal clothes, wearing normal clothes that you can see.
• 1:00:34
  Speaker 3: Yeah, he's a guy.
• 1:00:35
  Speaker 1: He's like that.
• 1:00:37
  Speaker 3: We haven't that, we haven't let be naked in our custody.
• 1:00:41
  Speaker 2: I just don't know. Heone said what he was wearing.
• 1:00:45
  Speaker 2: He probably has clothes on. I would have not been
• 1:00:48
  Speaker 2: letting it hang.
• 1:00:49
  Speaker 3: Brain, he's been at least got some compression. I've been
• 1:00:54
  Speaker 3: thinking of today as the eye robot robots.
• 1:00:56
  Speaker 2: Mostly they got they got.
• 1:00:57
  Speaker 3: Peeps right, yeah, parts, they got holes. They got seventeen holes,
• 1:01:02
  Speaker 3: as established as Steve Diel.
• 1:01:04
  Speaker 1: Yeah, So what like, why why did doctor Blaaner want
• 1:01:10
  Speaker 1: to create a police force?
• 1:01:12
  Speaker 2: That is an interesting question that would need to be
• 1:01:16
  Speaker 2: I mean, we have these tapes, oh, tapes of his recording.
• 1:01:20
  Speaker 1: I think, so we found them in the womb.
• 1:01:22
  Speaker 3: They were in the Yeah.
• 1:01:24
  Speaker 2: Blainer was a man tortured by the need to create.
• 1:01:30
  Speaker 2: I'm not sure.
• 1:01:32
  Speaker 1: Create first, find the purpose later.
• 1:01:35
  Speaker 2: Yes, find purpose for his creations is a good way
• 1:01:40
  Speaker 2: to talk about his mind. He once he knew that
• 1:01:45
  Speaker 2: he could make a simulation of humanity in robotic form
• 1:01:52
  Speaker 2: with the nectar and the venoum.
• 1:01:55
  Speaker 1: Wait, the nectar. Yes, we we found something that sugg
• 1:02:00
  Speaker 1: us to you. You said, I think that is where
• 1:02:04
  Speaker 1: we hear?
• 1:02:04
  Speaker 4: Is that?
• 1:02:04
  Speaker 2: Where were from the bios.
• 1:02:06
  Speaker 1: When we woke you up before? As just Dirk, did
• 1:02:10
  Speaker 1: blain Er kill people to make.
• 1:02:12
  Speaker 2: Day Oh a tragic occurrence of the Evo's deportation off
• 1:02:19
  Speaker 2: this world. He gave this factory, the factory the womb.
• 1:02:25
  Speaker 2: You've been there, so you know how many hundreds of
• 1:02:28
  Speaker 2: people it would take to run that place. It was enormous.
• 1:02:32
  Speaker 1: I could probably run it by myself, but well that
• 1:02:35
  Speaker 1: is astounding. How with what I can do?
• 1:02:39
  Speaker 3: Ah?
• 1:02:39
  Speaker 2: Yes, right, I know this New Heroes, But again he
• 1:02:45
  Speaker 2: was paranoid that anyone left needed to be taken care of.
• 1:02:54
  Speaker 2: That's a bad way to say that. He gave everyone
• 1:02:56
  Speaker 2: that worked there the choice to go, oh, to go
• 1:03:00
  Speaker 2: with the Evos to space, or to have their memories
• 1:03:07
  Speaker 2: wiped and become a day what so not necessarily whoa
• 1:03:14
  Speaker 2: Each one that chose to stay, their memory was wiped
• 1:03:18
  Speaker 2: and they were turned into nectar and put into a
• 1:03:21
  Speaker 2: singular day. They are a person who then I assume
• 1:03:26
  Speaker 2: received a soul. I don't know how.
• 1:03:28
  Speaker 1: That all worked, Oh my gosh.
• 1:03:31
  Speaker 2: Not many chose to stay and it would have only
• 1:03:33
  Speaker 2: been a few in that original group.
• 1:03:37
  Speaker 1: Of I mean, what a horrible choice to have to make.
• 1:03:41
  Speaker 2: And how did you convert person to nectar? Was it
• 1:03:44
  Speaker 2: like a soup situation? That is well beyond my understanding,
• 1:03:50
  Speaker 2: some kind of big smusher. I don't know.
• 1:03:53
  Speaker 1: Jerry was strange. Jerry was first generation and still here.
• 1:03:58
  Speaker 3: So those probably the first day we're human in a
• 1:04:03
  Speaker 3: converted humans.
• 1:04:04
  Speaker 2: Yes, not all of them, probably a small few.
• 1:04:08
  Speaker 3: Okay, nasuld we pop in some of these tapes? Well, first,
• 1:04:17
  Speaker 3: mister bred Blade, welcome back to the nest. This Jimmy
• 1:04:34
  Speaker 3: opens whatever door we have. You walk back in and
• 1:04:38
  Speaker 3: Derek breaths, yes, good to be here. You said there's
• 1:04:45
  Speaker 3: communication devices.
• 1:04:47
  Speaker 2: Yes. He goes back into the living area, opens up
• 1:04:54
  Speaker 2: a locker back there that you guys just haven't checked out.
• 1:04:58
  Speaker 2: He gives you each like a small little earpiece. He
• 1:05:01
  Speaker 2: says that runs to the receiver here and transmits to
• 1:05:05
  Speaker 2: all of us. You can decide who is active by
• 1:05:08
  Speaker 2: pushing these buttons. He tells you all the stuff. But
• 1:05:11
  Speaker 2: there's yeah, there's a little communication sysm my understanding.
• 1:05:14
  Speaker 3: It works to the walls of the city.
• 1:05:17
  Speaker 1: I should have sensed these over.
• 1:05:21
  Speaker 2: You could say over, we're done talking, Yes, over.
• 1:05:26
  Speaker 1: Over job uh rigel over, Quanta over these.
• 1:05:34
  Speaker 3: Things still working. They still they're still kicking. All right,
• 1:05:39
  Speaker 3: let's let's gather around and listen to some tapes.
• 1:05:44
  Speaker 2: Okay, you have tapes that have three categories. There is
• 1:05:50
  Speaker 2: Venuum and Project Today is one category. There is the
• 1:05:55
  Speaker 2: Great Hiding as a category, and then the Venium Night
• 1:05:59
  Speaker 2: Project as a category.
• 1:06:00
  Speaker 1: Ten teny miney mo.
• 1:06:04
  Speaker 3: Ta teeny teeny.
• 1:06:08
  Speaker 1: Isn't that what you say? Mean?
• 1:06:10
  Speaker 3: We say, I say eeny meeny me. I mean I
• 1:06:15
  Speaker 3: grew up saying Maybe they say it different in Texas.
• 1:06:19
  Speaker 1: This Yeah, it was like.
• 1:06:26
  Speaker 2: Tiny time.
• 1:06:31
  Speaker 3: Ye motherfuckers.
• 1:06:34
  Speaker 1: Quanta blushes furiously. Oh I must have heard it wrong
• 1:06:38
  Speaker 1: or something.
• 1:06:38
  Speaker 2: No, no, no days. Yes, we always said teen miney mom. Wow.
• 1:06:46
  Speaker 3: Yeah, this is one of the your your her dad's
• 1:06:49
  Speaker 3: is one of the other.
• 1:06:50
  Speaker 2: Your dad, Yeah, teeny teeny miney Moe get a day by.
• 1:06:55
  Speaker 1: His toe if he hollers in his seventeen holes. Oh god, Yeah,
• 1:07:07
  Speaker 1: that's how it goes.
• 1:07:09
  Speaker 3: It's a beautiful culture that we're learning more about all
• 1:07:12
  Speaker 3: the time. Day Project it is this project day lifted
• 1:07:17
  Speaker 3: by the sticker thrust it into the machine. Yeah, you
• 1:07:21
  Speaker 3: can levitate things vist us.
• 1:07:23
  Speaker 2: If they got us, if you got they got a
• 1:07:25
  Speaker 2: label on them. I can live with that. So I'll
• 1:07:29
  Speaker 2: just well, here, here's what we'll do. I'll just like say,
• 1:07:31
  Speaker 2: the general information you get from all of these tapes.
• 1:07:34
  Speaker 2: You hear the voice of William Blaner, who's a British evo.
• 1:07:39
  Speaker 2: The first thing that you hear is about venom. Our
• 1:07:45
  Speaker 2: first probes have come back from Venus. I sit here
• 1:07:49
  Speaker 2: to record one of many exciting discoveries. It seems that,
• 1:07:54
  Speaker 2: due to the higher pressure of the Venus atmosphere, trace
• 1:07:58
  Speaker 2: metallic elements were forced into non earth crystalline lattice structures.
• 1:08:03
  Speaker 2: When the bomb of life struck Venus and the temperature
• 1:08:05
  Speaker 2: and atmospheric pressure began to collapse rapidly. It seems as
• 1:08:08
  Speaker 2: though any free metallic ions aligned along artificial magnetic vectors,
• 1:08:12
  Speaker 2: atomic orbital synchronized across macro scales, and electron clouds stabilized
• 1:08:18
  Speaker 2: into interlocking energy lasses.
• 1:08:22
  Speaker 1: As if we understand.
• 1:08:26
  Speaker 3: Yes, of course you don't do it, but twice as fast.
• 1:08:34
  Speaker 2: Fast forward to when he says, uh, it's unique metal,
• 1:08:38
  Speaker 2: unlike anything we have here on Earth, and I'm going
• 1:08:40
  Speaker 2: to call it venium. It is so unique that the
• 1:08:43
  Speaker 2: atoms share electrons cost multiple nuclei. This makes the metal
• 1:08:49
  Speaker 2: incredibly strong while remaining lighter than any metal we have
• 1:08:52
  Speaker 2: here on Earth. It's astounding. And then he does talk
• 1:08:55
  Speaker 2: about something that you've recently felt, the electron clouds extended
• 1:08:59
  Speaker 2: beyond on individual atoms and interlocking with their neighbor clouds.
• 1:09:03
  Speaker 2: It must have locked like this during the extreme rabical
• 1:09:05
  Speaker 2: acts of the atmosphere on Venus instead of collapsing. It
• 1:09:09
  Speaker 2: creates metal that can store and recycle and redistribute energy
• 1:09:13
  Speaker 2: based on its formation.
• 1:09:15
  Speaker 3: Then you like a natural battery.
• 1:09:18
  Speaker 2: And then you hear him kind of positing like, is
• 1:09:22
  Speaker 2: there a maximum amount of energy that could be stored?
• 1:09:25
  Speaker 2: Could it be alloyed with Earth metals for stabilization? Hmm.
• 1:09:30
  Speaker 2: It will certainly react dramatically to the earth atmosphere, changing colors,
• 1:09:35
  Speaker 2: metallic shades. This may be our route to project today.
• 1:09:39
  Speaker 1: I look at my hands as of seeing them for
• 1:09:41
  Speaker 1: the first time.
• 1:09:42
  Speaker 2: Yeah, understanding that the interaction with your's atmosphere gives the
• 1:09:47
  Speaker 2: day their color. They're different colors.
• 1:09:49
  Speaker 3: Wow, and you're made from space stuff kind of Venus
• 1:09:57
  Speaker 3: maybe that's why they call it venue.
• 1:10:01
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 1:10:02
  Speaker 3: Oh was that obvious?
• 1:10:04
  Speaker 2: Yeah?
• 1:10:05
  Speaker 1: But you know, be still right there, right there the
• 1:10:09
  Speaker 1: whole time.
• 1:10:10
  Speaker 3: Uh.
• 1:10:11
  Speaker 2: Then there's a switch from him just exploring and creating
• 1:10:14
  Speaker 2: the day into getting really nervous. Let's put it in Spanish. Uh.
• 1:10:24
  Speaker 3: I love hearing British people speak Spanish. That is one
• 1:10:28
  Speaker 3: of my favorite Inchilada. Man, those guys rule. Shout out
• 1:10:34
  Speaker 3: to the britz Ler and the Spanish. They were big fans.
• 1:10:37
  Speaker 3: Keep going. Use that when you go on your Spanish vacations.
• 1:10:43
  Speaker 3: Love take God.
• 1:10:46
  Speaker 2: Then that's a horrible I don't know that was Count Dracula.
• 1:10:53
  Speaker 2: Good job, Count Draculous, Count Dracula on that due Lingo.
• 1:10:59
  Speaker 2: Then there becomes a great fear as you realize that
• 1:11:03
  Speaker 2: the order has come for the evos to be shunted
• 1:11:06
  Speaker 2: off the earth. See you hear panicked recordings. This place
• 1:11:11
  Speaker 2: must not be found. The great and unpredictable damage of
• 1:11:15
  Speaker 2: what even a hack scientist could do, let alone a
• 1:11:17
  Speaker 2: wicked and knowledgeable one. What have I done? I was
• 1:11:21
  Speaker 2: arrogant in thinking I could finish this before the space
• 1:11:23
  Speaker 2: bars left. I'll give them a choice to stay where
• 1:11:27
  Speaker 2: their mind's to be wiped and they'll become a day.
• 1:11:30
  Speaker 2: It's too dangerous to leave them with the knowledge they have.
• 1:11:33
  Speaker 2: So you hear these panicked moments of the great high sing.
• 1:11:36
  Speaker 1: Can I imagine us all on our tummies, on pillows with
• 1:11:38
  Speaker 1: popcorn around the radio, the HS radio.
• 1:11:43
  Speaker 2: Feet kicking up?
• 1:11:44
  Speaker 3: What what is Dirk Brightblade's face like during hearing his father, master, friend,
• 1:11:55
  Speaker 3: cucumber Ie mask and through.
• 1:11:58
  Speaker 2: All you look back to Dirk and he is nowhere
• 1:12:04
  Speaker 2: to be seen. He's left.
• 1:12:06
  Speaker 1: Where did he go? I reach out my senses.
• 1:12:10
  Speaker 3: Make a sense check. This is an epic check, Dirk.
• 1:12:17
  Speaker 2: What'd you get? Ten or older? Nature? Twenty?
• 1:12:19
  Speaker 1: Oh? He can't beat that. Can't beat that, Dirk, right blipe.
• 1:12:25
  Speaker 1: I don't know where he went.
• 1:12:26
  Speaker 3: This might be hard for him to relive.
• 1:12:30
  Speaker 1: I don't think so. I mean, I don't. I don't
• 1:12:33
  Speaker 1: send him there.
• 1:12:34
  Speaker 2: Then you get to the series of tapes that is
• 1:12:36
  Speaker 2: about the venom Nights and testing on the subject bright Blade.
• 1:12:43
  Speaker 2: There's a lot here. Most of it is surprise. He
• 1:12:47
  Speaker 2: is outstanding, He's not unstoppable. He seems more human than expected.
• 1:12:52
  Speaker 2: I must examine that and take note to find if
• 1:12:54
  Speaker 2: the same phenomenon happens in Rockfist and swift shot. Not
• 1:12:57
  Speaker 2: a ton of info here that Dirk hasn't already given you,
• 1:13:00
  Speaker 2: But those the tapes.
• 1:13:03
  Speaker 1: Oh, I mean, honestly, after all my other thoughts, next
• 1:13:08
  Speaker 1: thought this could take down the Church ooh evidence.
• 1:13:14
  Speaker 3: Yeah, the Church of the New Battle Day would not
• 1:13:16
  Speaker 3: love to know that their hole where god thing it
• 1:13:22
  Speaker 3: just came from this really smart but eccentric British men's brain.
• 1:13:28
  Speaker 1: There is still the question of where our visions come from, though.
• 1:13:33
  Speaker 3: That is true whatever. I mean, He's clearly coming at
• 1:13:38
  Speaker 3: this from a perspective of science. Yeah, but in creating
• 1:13:41
  Speaker 3: life and soul, he's dealing with supernatural forces that I
• 1:13:45
  Speaker 3: don't know if he accounted for it all.
• 1:13:48
  Speaker 1: No, certainly not.
• 1:13:50
  Speaker 2: I don't know.
• 1:13:50
  Speaker 3: With all we've been talking about with the souls and
• 1:13:55
  Speaker 3: them being able to sort of transfer life between each other,
• 1:13:57
  Speaker 3: I don't know. It kind of rings a little bit
• 1:13:59
  Speaker 3: of maybe spirit magic.
• 1:14:03
  Speaker 1: That was one of the realms, wasn't it.
• 1:14:05
  Speaker 3: Yeah, and your grandma kind of has a mishmash of
• 1:14:07
  Speaker 3: magic key stuff up there. Definitely, not that I've cracked most.
• 1:14:11
  Speaker 1: Of it, but I mean I would I would love
• 1:14:14
  Speaker 1: to keep exploring this, just to understand myself and what
• 1:14:17
  Speaker 1: I can do in my visions.
• 1:14:18
  Speaker 3: But but getting this info out to the people, yes,
• 1:14:23
  Speaker 3: oh the people. Oh fuck, I totally forgot.
• 1:14:26
  Speaker 2: Guys.
• 1:14:26
  Speaker 3: There's a mob war that's about to happen. Wait what
• 1:14:29
  Speaker 3: like witch mobs, uh irish and the yakuza.
• 1:14:33
  Speaker 1: Oh right, you brought this up. You brought this up briefly.
• 1:14:36
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I totally I'm sorry. Got I got carried.
• 1:14:41
  Speaker 3: I'm covered in in face masks. Yeah, I got. I
• 1:14:46
  Speaker 3: was so invested in knowing what was the mystery.
• 1:14:48
  Speaker 2: Of the day.
• 1:14:49
  Speaker 1: I mean me too. It's amazing.
• 1:14:50
  Speaker 3: But it was like a hundred guys and they were
• 1:14:52
  Speaker 3: all going to go ahead and start killing people. We
• 1:14:54
  Speaker 3: should probably be doing something about that. Yeah, let's go. Yeah,
• 1:14:59
  Speaker 3: where should we start? Well, it would be nice to
• 1:15:04
  Speaker 3: have Derek. I don't know if I mean, even with
• 1:15:07
  Speaker 3: all three of us, like this is like a full
• 1:15:10
  Speaker 3: full ass on, like an army almost.
• 1:15:13
  Speaker 1: He didn't take a communicator, but I could find him.
• 1:15:17
  Speaker 1: Just give me on a high enough building, I'll find him.
• 1:15:19
  Speaker 3: And we could we can also just try to head
• 1:15:23
  Speaker 3: off one of these groups before it gets bad.
• 1:15:26
  Speaker 1: And and he's he's smart, and he's he's a hero.
• 1:15:31
  Speaker 1: He's doing what.
• 1:15:33
  Speaker 3: He needs to do. We need to trust him. But Jason,
• 1:15:37
  Speaker 3: when we were talking to Maria upstairs, she mentioned that name,
• 1:15:41
  Speaker 3: and then you talk to her about her brother, you
• 1:15:44
  Speaker 3: you know, her family kind what's going on with Maria?
• 1:15:49
  Speaker 3: Maria's dad was past tense, the head of the Irish mob.
• 1:15:56
  Speaker 3: That was very Wait, you said that you killed the
• 1:16:00
  Speaker 3: head of.
• 1:16:02
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I sense to see if Maria is close by,
• 1:16:08
  Speaker 1: and here's.
• 1:16:09
  Speaker 2: That she's around. She's around, but she didn't. She's upstairs.
• 1:16:12
  Speaker 2: She didn't hear that you killed her dad.
• 1:16:15
  Speaker 3: Yeah, her dad killed her mom. Well, no, no, I'm
• 1:16:17
  Speaker 3: not I'm not killing you, and that you did a
• 1:16:19
  Speaker 3: wrong thing. I'm just saying, at some point, you got it.
• 1:16:23
  Speaker 3: We gotta tell her, do we? I mean she thinks
• 1:16:27
  Speaker 3: she said she was worried that he was tracking her down.
• 1:16:30
  Speaker 2: Okay, so maybe this would be good news for her.
• 1:16:34
  Speaker 3: I mean, it would be deeply complex and probably shattering important,
• 1:16:38
  Speaker 3: but it's important news that I think she's old. Maybe
• 1:16:42
  Speaker 3: not the second when there's a mob war proof, but
• 1:16:45
  Speaker 3: either way, her brother who I her father, kidnapped Paige
• 1:16:49
  Speaker 3: and and sick goons on Arthur and so I you know,
• 1:16:54
  Speaker 3: I kind of killed him and I thought that was
• 1:16:56
  Speaker 3: the end of it, but I.
• 1:16:57
  Speaker 1: Guess kidnap Paige.
• 1:17:02
  Speaker 3: Arthur was dealing with some of the antiquities and sourcing
• 1:17:05
  Speaker 3: weird and rare books through the mob, and he was
• 1:17:10
  Speaker 3: keeping this book and I point at my chest and
• 1:17:14
  Speaker 3: they wanted it, but he wasn't gonna let them have
• 1:17:16
  Speaker 3: it because it's very dangerous, and so they started threatening
• 1:17:18
  Speaker 3: him and they took it out on page in him.
• 1:17:23
  Speaker 1: So, well, I'm glad you were there to help her.
• 1:17:25
  Speaker 2: But either way, at this point, Shay is in charge,
• 1:17:31
  Speaker 2: and that's Maria's brother, and he's not doing so great
• 1:17:36
  Speaker 2: right now.
• 1:17:37
  Speaker 1: Okay, Yeah, so I eat the cucumbers.
• 1:17:42
  Speaker 3: So there's a lot of instability. I know the Yakuza
• 1:17:46
  Speaker 3: has been moving in on their territory. The Irish Mob
• 1:17:50
  Speaker 3: has been expanding. I don't know much about the Russian Mob,
• 1:17:54
  Speaker 3: but I know that they exist. I have no idea
• 1:17:57
  Speaker 3: if they're involved, but it seemed like the Irish Mob
• 1:18:00
  Speaker 3: was mobilizing to wage war in the streets.
• 1:18:04
  Speaker 2: Which could be made.
• 1:18:05
  Speaker 1: Let's go see what we can find out.
• 1:18:07
  Speaker 3: The core gang really protects us from all these race
• 1:18:10
  Speaker 3: based moms.
• 1:18:11
  Speaker 1: It's anyway, I like, I like what Cordula has to say,
• 1:18:15
  Speaker 1: I think she has my vote.
• 1:18:17
  Speaker 3: Page seems to be on board with the core Gang.
• 1:18:18
  Speaker 3: Maybe maybe should we guys, should we join the core Gang.
• 1:18:23
  Speaker 3: I'm it's on the table. Okay, great, if we need
• 1:18:27
  Speaker 3: to join a gang, they're my first ballot, you.
• 1:18:30
  Speaker 1: Know, yeah, if we had to. But you know, probably
• 1:18:33
  Speaker 1: good for us to probably good for us to not
• 1:18:36
  Speaker 1: independent heroes.
• 1:18:37
  Speaker 3: We should be looking up to everybody, and then we
• 1:18:39
  Speaker 3: might have to report to people. But yes, yes, let's
• 1:18:43
  Speaker 3: let's let's.
• 1:18:44
  Speaker 2: Go Tube Time.
• 1:18:46
  Speaker 1: I pull my bottle clav off a hook and look
• 1:18:50
  Speaker 1: at it and for the first time think about what
• 1:18:54
  Speaker 1: Dirk said about clearing my name and then also talking
• 1:18:58
  Speaker 1: to Taylor about having something awesome Twitter, and I pull
• 1:19:02
  Speaker 1: it on.
• 1:19:04
  Speaker 3: Yeah, Jamiir is gonna He's gonna heat. As I'm getting
• 1:19:09
  Speaker 3: on the rest of my costume, I like, go to
• 1:19:11
  Speaker 3: take off the everwing helmet. Pause, and I keep it on. Cool.
• 1:19:19
  Speaker 3: Then I'm gonna, I'm gonna wear this out. Jason holds
• 1:19:22
  Speaker 3: his hands out as paper flies to him, covering his
• 1:19:27
  Speaker 3: whole body his wagon. He crumples and forms into a cape.
• 1:19:32
  Speaker 1: Tube Time does go Scarecrow and Dorothy.
• 1:19:37
  Speaker 3: Let's kick some ass.
• 1:19:38
  Speaker 2: As you guys move out to combat a roiling gang
• 1:19:43
  Speaker 2: war that is about to eat up your city. Whether
• 1:19:46
  Speaker 2: it be through the radio or through a TV you
• 1:19:49
  Speaker 2: pass by, or just catching the electrical waves across the city,
• 1:19:56
  Speaker 2: the Dirk appears on the television and.

  Speaker 3: The way he stops.
• 1:20:01
  Speaker 2: Stop.
• 1:20:02
  Speaker 3: As we're moving to the city. I see a TV
• 1:20:04
  Speaker 3: in a window, a classic TV playing in a window.
• 1:20:09
  Speaker 3: Different television of the window.
• 1:20:14
  Speaker 2: That's him. He's wearing his entire costume.
• 1:20:18
  Speaker 1: Wow, he looks great.
• 1:20:19
  Speaker 2: He's not naked. Damn, he looks good. He takes off
• 1:20:22
  Speaker 2: his helm, which bright Blade. If you would have known,
• 1:20:26
  Speaker 2: you would have known Jamier never did. He holds it
• 1:20:29
  Speaker 2: under his arm. People of New Babel. I'm the hero
• 1:20:38
  Speaker 2: bright Blade once defended this city against many ills. The

  Speaker 2: circumstances by which I have returned are confounding. I will
• 1:20:48
  Speaker 2: not bore you with them here, but there is something
• 1:20:53
  Speaker 2: that must come to light. This woman picture of you
• 1:20:57
  Speaker 2: flashes up. It's me fast for words. This woman did
• 1:21:05
  Speaker 2: not kill the Highbridge of the Church of the New
• 1:21:07
  Speaker 2: Babel day. She is, in fact innocent. She was framed
• 1:21:12
  Speaker 2: by the church. In fact, I was the one who
• 1:21:18
  Speaker 2: killed the high bridge.
• 1:21:20
  Speaker 3: Of the church, the people that the civilians around is probably.
• 1:21:26
  Speaker 2: I did so because he had been using me as
• 1:21:29
  Speaker 2: his personal assassin. I was forced to go out and kill.
• 1:21:35
  Speaker 2: Who I was meant to kill was decided by the
• 1:21:38
  Speaker 2: farce of a church council the high Bridge. Gerald was
• 1:21:41
  Speaker 2: their leader. The others were Gavriel Veneshore, a man named
• 1:21:46
  Speaker 2: camp and only called camp utto Endo, and the silent
• 1:21:51
  Speaker 2: Pope Mitchell Nichols. They used me as their killing machine
• 1:21:55
  Speaker 2: for years, and now they seek to do the same
• 1:21:59
  Speaker 2: with my sister. If any of you have interactions with
• 1:22:02
  Speaker 2: any of these men, or see a day woman who
• 1:22:05
  Speaker 2: is larger than a normal than a normal day woman,

  Speaker 2: Jesus as he's saying this kind of call to action,
• 1:22:22
  Speaker 2: he is cut off the air.
• 1:22:24
  Speaker 1: Oh, even though it's so heavy, like Quanta, can't help
• 1:22:28
  Speaker 1: but starting to smile.
