0:00
Oh, and I I have one request for the fight that you guys are
0:02
probably going to have. Don't just actually try to kill
0:06
each other off the bat. Taking the fun out of
0:11
everything. I I mean like truly like go for
0:16
death shots. Let's make it.
0:22
But I've been looking forward to that.
0:25
Oh, I mean, I didn't say don't try to kill each other, just
0:28
don't like actually kill each other well.
0:34
We're finally back stateside. I don't know how to feel.
0:40
It's just so quiet, you know, and with the weight of
0:45
everything going on with the camps here, and are we really
0:51
the good guys either way, Ace has been offered a interesting
0:59
position. Ace the war hero, Ace the
1:04
government bond salesman. And so like that, my team, it's
1:10
disbanding and Rex and I, well, we're going to California.
1:18
There's a anomaly. The Multiverse Collective.
2:02
We opened several days after we we left.
2:06
Ace has already shipped out to do his USO tour, and Cordelia
2:12
and Rex have been given orders to go to Southern California to
2:18
investigate a disturbance transportation.
2:21
They were given a military train.
2:23
Several of the cars have a disassembled version of the
2:26
Foxcatcher. There's a command car, Several
2:30
barracks cars. What is it?
2:32
A It's a dining car. I can't think of what the
2:34
military word for dining is. Whatever.
2:38
So Cordelia and Rex are. Cordelia, Rex and Lizette are
2:42
just sort of chilling out about her, I guess, while you travel.
2:46
I forgot. About her?
2:47
Yeah, she's with you as well. I thought she would have gone
2:50
with. I also thought.
2:51
She would. Have no Mr. Randolph.
2:52
Now we have to babysit his girlfriend.
2:54
Yes. At least we have something to
2:59
bitch about. That's very.
3:02
True. Do you guys have anything you
3:03
want to talk about before we start rolling into this or are
3:06
you? Just no.
3:07
I think Cordelia and Rex are probably just sitting together
3:09
drinking beer if they're off the clock and complaining about
3:13
having to babysit with that. Oh 100% Rex just keeps Paul and
3:17
in fresh beers every time. 1 Empathies.
3:22
Are you guys listening to the radio?
3:24
Probably. Probably.
3:25
Maybe it's on in the car. Probably.
3:28
Yeah, I think it is. And while you're sitting there
3:31
listening to the radio, a commercial comes on that catches
3:33
your eye. Ace Randolph, hero of the
3:36
Pacific. Ace fought for your freedom.
3:39
So now it's time to do your. Part.
3:41
I'm Ace Randolph and Hyperion says to buy war bonds.
3:54
And that is Cornelia's laugh in character as well.
3:59
Oh my God, oh God, what has he done?
4:03
We should not have encouraged him to go.
4:05
Oh my God, don't call her in here.
4:07
Fuck. We need to try and get that on
4:10
the next radio station so she can be embarrassed as well.
4:17
Oh God. He knew it was going to be a
4:18
lot. I told him it was a bad idea.
4:20
Objectively, I knew it was going to be a lot, but I didn't quite
4:24
realise what reality was going to be.
4:27
Wow. Oh God, I feel sorry for him.
4:33
Cordelia drains her beer. Do you?
4:34
Think anyone's actually going to buy war bonds from that guy?
4:36
Oh. God.
4:39
Rex Paul's a new one in. Thank you.
4:43
You're welcome. I feel like we're going to need
4:44
a few more of those, that we're going to keep hearing him on the
4:46
radio. My God, we may just have to turn
4:47
it off. Maybe.
4:57
As you guys are, so you guys were in New Mexico, you're
5:00
heading to Southern California, going through Arizona.
5:03
I think just on the other side of Arizona, you guys are passing
5:05
Joshua Tree, the National Park. And as you're there, a alert
5:10
klaxon sounds in the car. Shit shit shit fuck shit.
5:16
Cordelia is immediately getting her shit together, trying to get
5:21
back to wherever it is that she's supposed to be right now.
5:23
Not drinking beer with Rex. Rex is just going to be like, yo
5:28
pooper, if this is a battle, I'm going to need you to do 75.
5:32
I'll do 25. I I one thing I forgot to
5:37
mention is that there is a There's two cars on the train,
5:40
one of which has a hanger with the the fallen in it, and the
5:45
other one's just an empty hanger because this train was made with
5:47
the assumption that there'd be. 2 Rex's going to stand up and do
5:52
like the Goku jump, stretch out shit and then Sprint dead Sprint
5:58
to the hanger. Yeah, the the the train is
6:03
stopping as quick as possible as the the the fall in begin this
6:08
power cycle over the radio. You're given basically a quick
6:13
like heads up of what's happening.
6:15
Essentially there is a you guys were on your way to examine a a
6:20
hole. Would love to examine a hole.
6:23
I know, I know, every time is why it wasn't my intention when
6:28
I named them holes. It's going to be every time.
6:32
However there is a spike signature right near you of an
6:37
emergency breach. Like basically opening up.
6:40
That's not great. That's not great.
6:46
Rex is going to keep the radio switched on.
6:49
He's going to limber up inside the fallen and be like may death
6:53
bring you peace and then full throttled like boost out of the
6:57
hang of Bay. Hell yeah.
6:59
And be like Hooper. Lock me in bro.
7:01
We need to. We need to find this portal.
7:04
You get like a sensor reading up and you can see like it's the
7:07
the readings are in front of you and you see like the the air
7:11
almost, you know how like when air is hot, it gets like sort of
7:14
that skimmer waiver. Yeah, yeah, it's that, but more
7:17
tangible. Oh, OK.
7:19
And a a RIP happens in this area and Odin what what falls out of
7:26
the hole? So falling out of the hole, is
7:29
this what I would assume would look like an aster more than
7:33
anything? It's large.
7:36
It's got like this scaled looking green body and a long
7:41
silvery tail with like punks of scrap welded haphazard across it
7:48
into spikes and a green tip to it.
7:53
The left leg is almost it's the same material, but the paint
8:00
looks like it was made for something completely different.
8:03
And it is a blue with more of the scrap metal welds all over
8:08
it. And there's this large box, like
8:11
just haphazardly welded onto the left side of it that looks like
8:17
just a block stuck to it. Basically the right arm is
8:24
yellow instead of the green and the.
8:28
Let's see, sorry, I'm mapping out everything to my head that I
8:34
said last time. It's the arms are blocky, but
8:41
you can definitely see where there's like servos and
8:43
everything into the bins of it. And there's this reptilian
8:49
looking face plate made onto it. And on the left chest there is a
8:58
faded star with some riding under it.
9:01
But I don't know how close you would need to be to actually
9:03
make out anything about that. Yeah.
9:06
So you see this big machine, it's sort of like it doesn't
9:10
like step through it. It sort of rolls out and you see
9:14
like several small zeros were clung to it and it sort of
9:17
crushes them as it rolls Rex you you can feel the shadow energy
9:22
flow out of them. I'm gonna instantly be running,
9:26
yeah. My little crackhead.
9:28
He's sprinting, dead Sprint and he's going to be like he's
9:31
going. To be worse.
9:32
Over the radio, he's going to be like Cordelia.
9:34
We've got Frankenstein's after. Great.
9:41
Thank you for the unsolicited status update.
9:43
Do you need backup? Nah, I got it.
9:48
I'm going to keep running and then I'm assuming that I can see
9:52
like the purple mist energy coming out the top and I'm going
9:54
to jump over and collect it. Like like I'm fucking jumping
9:58
like a flip over. I collect all this and then when
10:02
I land, I'm going to land like superhero landing with my sword
10:06
on sheathed and my shield in one hand and be like, state your
10:10
business. You state.
10:13
Your business. I've got to be formal.
10:16
I'm on American soil right now. Odin, as you stand you see the
10:22
divine in all of its much more well repaired than yours glory
10:27
and it just absorbed and you can tell that it's radiating this
10:30
energy that you were tracking through this portal.
10:33
OK. And right before the portal.
10:35
Just reminding myself there were a lot more of the little ones.
10:40
Yes, you basically were wading through a sea of them.
10:44
I knew this was a trap and he's going to raise a hand in the air
10:48
and there's just going to be this multi colored light splits
10:52
the sky because you said I'm feeling.
10:55
Oh, you're feeling good. Like you feel.
10:57
You feel more power than you felt in years.
10:59
He probably hasn't been able to do this one in a little bit.
11:02
He pulls his hand up and as he rips down out of it, a sword
11:07
emerges. Shit, Kaudelia, get the popcorn.
11:15
I knew this was a trap. OK, is the is the is the fault
11:20
still open like the rift? No, it it is it like it didn't
11:24
look like this was the intended like 10 target.
11:26
OK. It almost looks like it was
11:28
interrupted in transport the way it flew out of it.
11:30
Oh, OK, OK. Cordial.
11:32
I don't think he's friendly. Permission to engage.
11:36
Permission granted. Oh.
11:38
Shit your worst. She said do my worst as well.
11:41
That means I can go all out. The Fallen is going to stand up.
11:47
I'm going to get into a battle stance and be like, I hope
11:50
you're ready for what's fucking coming.
11:52
And then I'm going to cleave with my sword, like at his hand
11:56
where he's got it held up to grab the sword.
12:00
So this will be Rex rolling plus clash.
12:03
Captain, that is an 11. An 11 all right, how do you have
12:07
two options there? You can either have him take a
12:10
risk, or you take a risk and put them in peril.
12:13
I'll take a risk and put them in peril.
12:15
All right, well, so for peril, what we're going to do is we're
12:16
going to call it a bird, OK? Because otherwise peril is just
12:20
insta kill basically, OK. OK, so Rex, you're going to take
12:24
a a danger decline. You're going to take a bird.
12:27
Why am I taking dangerous? We'll start with the risk.
12:30
This is describe this attack. I think he's just like full on
12:34
stepping in. He's like he was like holding
12:37
his shield and sword sort of like this.
12:39
And then he's like pulled his shield back as he's swung
12:44
through with his sword. So he's probably like opened up
12:46
a lot of attackable points on himself.
12:49
So I'm going to say reckless. That's my risk.
12:53
So Declan, for your burden of this, is there a specific burden
12:58
you want to imply? I'm trying to like disable this,
13:02
disable his sword hand. Basically that was my whole
13:05
intended attack, so he couldn't fight back with the sword
13:08
straight away. Teklin, roll me.
13:11
Roll me your functionality clock.
13:14
All right, let's see. Let's see how bad this burden
13:17
is. If it's if how well your
13:19
repairs. Are it's a six.
13:21
The six. All right.
13:22
So I think, I think we're going to call that, we'll call it
13:24
severe damage. Well, we can we can deal with
13:27
that later. Burdens are things that are
13:29
dealt with after fights. Now how do you want to respond?
13:37
OK, severe damage. Does that imply it does not
13:41
function now? Not at the no, no, you you're
13:43
still fully functional. That's just burn like that's
13:46
repairs we're going to have to do later.
13:48
All right, I think I'm going to swing like I'm going to use the
13:55
sword and at the last second I'm going to whip around and my
13:58
tails just going to strike like a fencer.
14:02
Hell yeah. So you're going to use your tail
14:04
attack. Yes, which I can do with home
14:09
because of my ability, yes. You can.
14:12
Which is good is I took zero clash home.
14:16
For everybody else is his version of channel.
14:19
He doesn't have a channeling. Skill.
14:20
He has a home, man. OK.
14:22
Yes, because his is not is a non magical aster.
14:25
I got a 10. 10 Excellent. And that was just a basic. 2D6
14:32
chain flows. Oh yes.
14:34
OK, so now it is you have the same option.
14:37
You can either just give him a risk or you can take a risk and.
14:41
I'm definitely just going to play the same game as him, all
14:44
right? I'll take the risk and give him
14:47
a burden. All right, So what risk do you
14:48
want and. What happens?
14:51
I think, let's see, almost the same thing.
14:55
I think I'm leaving myself really open because I'm almost
14:58
putting my back to him during the attack to swing the tail.
15:03
OK, so what'd you say? Yours.
15:06
His was reckless. Reckless.
15:07
Yeah, I will also. And let's do for for what's a
15:13
good burden for Rex, something we can deal with later.
15:18
They call it sample. Burdens there are.
15:23
I don't know if they're on the sheets page.
15:25
I know they're in the book, which is the one thing I don't
15:28
have open. I do something like.
15:32
In the meantime, Cordelia, what? How are you dealing with
15:36
watching this? I'm pacing back and forth in the
15:40
command center like a father waiting for his wife to give
15:43
birth. Is there any moves or anything
15:45
you want to make? You can try and get information
15:47
you can, I don't know. Maybe there's some sort of
15:51
attack you can make, I don't know.
15:52
Yeah, I'm, I'm probably trying to talk with my technicians to
15:56
figure out if we can get a read on like where this portal came
15:59
from, any qualifying information.
16:02
Like, we noticed, obviously, that he had zeros attached to
16:05
him. So I'm assuming at this point
16:09
that he came through a portal with zeros.
16:11
And this is like, you know, an attack on American soil that we
16:15
just happened to intercept. So do you want to do like a
16:19
dispel uncertainties or read the roof?
16:22
Yeah, yeah, I'll do dispel uncertainties, I think.
16:25
Sure, roll plus no. Oh God.
16:30
I'm not very good at that. I'm actually, in fact, very bad
16:33
at that. Wow, that is a 6 -, 1.
16:37
So that is A5. As we're in this command room, I
16:39
assume there's probably like a spotter or somebody with
16:42
binoculars there. And he's sort of like looking
16:45
and he's, he's, he's trying to figure out what's going what,
16:48
what, what the chest of this foreign object says, but he
16:53
can't read it yet. He he's, he's working on it, but
16:56
he's got nothing at the moment. Amazing.
17:05
Rex, your turn. Let me think about.
17:08
So I didn't like launch backwards, right?
17:10
Yes. Oh, did we figure out a burden
17:13
by? The no because there are no
17:15
examples of this book. Well.
17:17
It just talks about burdens. Yeah, let me check the.
17:23
What about what do you think, Rex?
17:24
What do you think are good? They've just been hit a long
17:28
term, but maybe I don't know. I got an idea.
17:32
I got an idea all right. So as as that tail slam hit it
17:37
was way harder than you expected, your shield cracks in
17:41
half. Shit broken shield.
17:46
Oh, where am I typing this? Bird.
17:48
I know I was typing somewhere else.
17:54
OK, Downtime token. Yeah, that's because it takes a
17:58
downtime token to deal with a burden.
17:59
That's right, something later to deal with.
18:01
Rex is going to look at his shield.
18:04
I really fucking like that shield.
18:07
He's going to like, like, throw the pieces to the side, crack
18:12
his fingers with his sword, hands still around, and go.
18:17
Cordelia, permission to maim. Wow.
18:23
You know, I think it may be more helpful to us if he does get
18:26
brought in alive. But yeah, do do what you need to
18:29
do to make that. Happen.
18:30
OK, Kyle, I'm sorry. I'm going to walk on Smite.
18:34
Oh, that's fine. But I'm going.
18:36
To apologize to me. Oh dude, I'm sorry.
18:40
Oh, don't be. I know.
18:42
Hope it works really well for you.
18:48
Looking at this character. Oh, I have two options.
18:54
I'm also going to I've not rolled it yet, you can see the
18:57
dice are still in my hand. I'm also going to spend a pint
19:00
of shadow energy. All right, so that'll add a
19:02
burden. That's a 17.
19:13
So explain this war God's smite. OK, so.
19:17
Rex being pissed off that his shield's been snapped in half.
19:22
It takes like a step back and then you can see sort of like
19:27
the purple energy that of like the shadow energy that I've
19:31
absorbed. You can see like a glow going
19:34
down the right arm of the fallen into the the sword.
19:39
And you see this portal appear and it's got instead of it being
19:45
like normal, like black flames, they're like purple tinged
19:48
flames. And Rex thrusts his sword
19:52
through the portal and 15 different smaller swords come
19:57
out and just take every every servo point on the legs out of
20:02
this Frankenstein's Astor so it can't run away.
20:07
All right, we'll call that. What we'll call that another
20:11
danger. So now you're at 2 dangers, 1
20:13
burden. OK, actually that'll be that'll
20:16
be that'll be apparel not a danger and we'll call that
20:21
what's what's a good like let's do mobility disabled.
20:32
So after that, what is? How do you respond?
20:36
With that as my peril, can I still use battle mode?
20:42
Project. Absolutely you can, yeah.
20:44
Absolutely. Then I'm just going to hit the
20:50
Astros, just going to knee to the ground, look up and it's
20:55
going to almost shift and you're going to see energy.
20:58
Just shoot forward from it. And then you realize it's not
21:02
there anymore and it blasts against the fallen and I'm going
21:08
to roll. Come on, give me something
21:10
decent. I want to at least share the
21:13
hits 11. 11 You would inflict 2 risks.
21:21
I'm cool, I've been in this point before.
21:26
And it's going to reappear a little bit behind you and like
21:30
shift and definitely be barely standing, but still.
21:37
There OK, OK, I'm cool I'm cool what risks do you I'll.
21:42
Let I'll let you pick risks. You can choose how to how those
21:45
deal. Will we go to Cordelia again?
21:48
And with, with this thing being closer now your spotter sort of
21:53
reads it and goes, ma'am, I it's sort of faded, but I think the
21:58
chess says Army. Fuck Rex, stand down.
22:04
Oh, oh, will Rex. Stand down.
22:06
This is a friendly. This is a friendly Rex.
22:09
We have made a critical error. OK, I'm gonna I'm gonna do a an
22:15
opposed role to her orders for rage and this is a Rex induced
22:21
race. Rex, so help me fucking God.
22:24
I have a better idea. OK, Cordelia Roll A+ talk plus
22:28
talk. Why do you keep giving me roles
22:32
that I'm bad? At it's not my fault you don't
22:34
care this way. Oh, OK.
22:37
That's a 10. OK, I got a.
22:38
Ten OK, so I I think with a 10 you definitely get like get get
22:46
across to Rex. Whether or not you want to like
22:49
obey it is up to you, But you understand the orders.
22:53
Right. Rex, this is a friendly.
22:57
Also, Rex, don't forget that you are currently one hit away from
23:00
being disabled. Oh, I've got I've got a plan for
23:02
that. By the way, I'm going to use
23:04
Ascension which is a bite the bite the dust roll with channel
23:07
and never get a 10 plus to play all my risks.
23:12
Yeah, that's right. So.
23:13
I'm going to do that now. I forgot you have that.
23:18
All right, so a 14, I'm assuming that.
23:22
Yeah, that's that's more than 10.
23:24
That's more than 10. All right.
23:26
But this also puts you actually, So what we'll do with that
23:29
because that was such a good roll over, like even over 12,
23:34
we'll say that also clears your shadow.
23:37
Like you don't get the point back from it, but we'll say that
23:39
clears your shadow burden, OK. And you are, you're thinking
23:43
clear headed right now. I'm going to turn around, sheaf
23:46
my sword, grab the shoulders of this Astor and be like, Are you
23:52
U.S. Army?
23:53
Yeah. For fuck's sake, like the Rex
23:57
like pushes this that Rex pushes this Astor away and goes called.
24:03
Do you look come and get your fucking clean up crew out and
24:05
I'm just going to walk back to the train.
24:07
Oh. God damn it when Cordelia can
24:10
feel the tension headache coming on as she starts like grabs her
24:16
clipboard and starts directing her underlings to go clean this
24:19
mess up. I can't even follow him or
24:22
anything to stop him because I can't move.
24:25
You can move. You're just like limping.
24:27
You're just. I'll, I'll tell you what I'll do
24:29
a solid. I'll I'll clip my fingers and
24:30
portal them into the hangar. Hangar Bay.
24:33
All right, Yeah, that's. Fine.
24:35
And I'm going to go over and pick up that the two halves of
24:38
my shield so I can get rid of shadow recovery, right?
24:42
Yes. OK, and but your shield will
24:44
just be broken. Let's say for the next fight you
24:47
don't have a shield. So it'll it'll, it'll just take
24:53
that long to repair. But first we get fucking stuck
25:01
with Lizette and then I don't get to kill.
25:02
Somebody do we have Doctor Schmidt with us by by the way?
25:06
Yes, absolutely. Why would I leave him behind?
25:08
Oh. Wonderful.
25:08
Why don't you? Antagonize us West.
25:12
I was so hoping I would get to interact with Doctor Schmidt.
25:16
I'm. Going to get back into the
25:19
hangar Bay, throw my shield down in front of where the fallen is
25:24
like stationed, jump out and be like yo you German bastard, come
25:28
and fix my shield and just fucking walk up.
25:34
He doesn't show up, but you're a repair crew.
25:35
I feel like you just generally have like a dedicated like I
25:38
want. To be nice to my repair crew.
25:40
I don't want to be nice to Schmidt.
25:41
He's my rival for a reason. I love that we all picked him as
25:47
our rival. No ASAP Gary.
25:53
Have Gary. That's true.
25:55
I did forget about. Your your rivals, Eunice.
25:57
Which is really why. I forgot that I left.
25:59
This. It's just a clock.
26:03
Absolute nipple of a man. Anyway, wow, what am I doing?
26:06
I guess I'm probably going to go to the hanger to figure out.
26:09
What the So Declan, you just fell through this portal and
26:11
you're landed in a hanger now. Yeah, I'm.
26:15
A repair Bay of which you haven't seen like the
26:17
advancement of in a long time. Yeah, I'm thinking he's going to
26:22
just go ahead and step out of the cockpit because, yeah, I
26:29
think this is weird for him, to say the least.
26:36
Yeah, so he'll exit through the cockpit and just jump straight
26:41
down onto the ground. Full suit.
26:44
Yeah, you, you as you jump down your, your tech is basically
26:48
swarmed by people that are in like mechanics, garbs and grease
26:52
monkeys and people that look like they know what they're
26:54
doing to fix the machine. They're swarming well.
26:59
I I would say they're like around like.
27:01
I was going to say, he's definitely pulling a sword.
27:08
Yeah, I got a sword too. Niall, What do you mean?
27:12
Like, like they're basically like, like they're approaching
27:14
like with like work benches and shit, like they're going to get
27:17
ready to repair your stuff. I think he's just don't touch
27:23
it. It's barely holding together.
27:25
I don't want you to fuck it up. They're they're just like the do
27:31
we do not want us to look it over like what is.
27:34
He's going to look back at just like a section of sheet metal
27:39
that he probably took off of like a broken house can pull
27:44
that one. Don't take anything off of it
27:51
without my permission. Did you get out of your armor
27:54
before you get out of the? No.
27:56
No. OK, no, I am in just full green
27:59
and colorful armor standing here right now.
28:02
So, Rex, since you're right there next to him, why don't you
28:05
describe what you're wearing? So I'm wearing a one piece suit
28:12
of green armor that has this gold plating across the
28:17
shoulders that goes down into AV shape in front and green.
28:25
Power. Ranger.
28:25
It's got pieces sewn of other colors.
28:30
There's some yellow, some red, blue, and there is a green
28:35
helmet that almost looks like a How would you even describe it?
28:44
There is a green helmet with a face plate on it, and the right
28:48
eye of it is shattered. And you just see his eyes
28:52
staring through it at you. And he's just going to pull it
28:55
off and reveal his actual face. He's got a long ponytail, brown
29:01
hair. And this is everything I hope
29:07
for right now. This is everything I wanted,
29:13
sweating. So Rex is near me and looks to
29:17
be the only person like actually.
29:20
Yeah. OK, I'm just going to step over
29:24
to and put the helmet under one hand.
29:26
Offer my right hand. Declan Oliver, U.S., Army Power
29:30
Rangers. The thing is, is should have
29:34
known it was the Megazord or the Dragonzord should I say.
29:39
I was trying so hard not to make it too obvious right away.
29:43
And then and then he started explaining himself and was like,
29:45
he's just Tommy. It's just Tommy.
29:51
Rex is going to turn around, look at you and go.
29:56
Rex Buchanan, U.S. Army after UNIT.
30:01
Walter Master, this big beautiful bastard you see here.
30:04
We make them. He's just going to look up, look
30:08
back at Ranger and just it's awful clean.
30:14
Well, I did want to keep the blood smears on it, but Cordelia
30:18
said like basically straight away that I wasn't allowed.
30:23
Cordelia, I feel like at this point you've probably gotten to
30:26
the hangar as well, so you can. Yeah, yeah, Flustered, frantic.
30:31
Cordelia has made several calls on her way here, trying to
30:36
figure out what the fuck is going on and alerting every
30:39
single person above her. I I don't think anybody knows.
30:43
Like this isn't a, this isn't a mech that's on record.
30:46
Nobody knows what this is. Yeah, Cordelia has just reported
30:49
what she's seen, which is U.S. Army branding and Frankenstein
30:53
Smeg. I'm going to, as we talk, me and
30:58
Declan Ozarkin, I'm just going to like pawl in myself a beer
31:01
and you should be like, this is the rest of my day now.
31:07
So where are we? Earth?
31:11
OK I I figured that when you said U.S.
31:13
Army but. Earth.
31:15
They're. 19 more each something. I say when you left, when you
31:21
don't, you were in a crater. The last thing you knew before
31:24
you came to the. Yeah, sorry.
31:27
Did you say 1942? Yeah.
31:30
That one I'm going to look over at Cordelia.
31:32
It's 42, right? Yeah, it's 40 I think.
31:35
It's 43, actually early 43 because Pearl Harper was the end
31:40
of 42. Declan's going to stop and like,
31:45
do some math in the air. Wait, has the Machine Empire
31:49
attacked? The what?
31:51
What I'm going, well, this just happened.
31:55
I'm going to speak to Hooper, but hey, Hooper, yes, can can
32:02
you like get a reading of where this guy's from?
32:06
He. Came through a hole.
32:09
Yeah, but but he clearly isn't from here.
32:11
No, but like, is it from any of those places?
32:14
You show me when we did the the mental walkthrough not.
32:17
That I know of. Because you sent me, you show me
32:19
quite a few places. I'm not sure where he's from.
32:24
It'll take me a little while to. Figure that out.
32:25
Can can you please work on it? Well, he's telling us about a
32:28
Mecca robot war thing. I can see what I can do.
32:31
Thank you very much my friend. Does he do that out loud in
32:35
front of me or is it in his head?
32:37
I've learned to do it in my head.
32:45
Yeah, Cordelia goes through like the motions of introducing
32:48
herself formally to Declan. Declan, upon hearing rank, which
32:54
as far as I Odin am aware is captain, I believe is going to
33:02
open palm salute Cordelia. Addy's please, dear God, I have
33:10
a few questions for you. And she has a clipboard with
33:16
like, a sizable stack of paper. And it looks like several dozen
33:20
questions at least. Yes, ma'am.
33:24
So where are you from? Angel Grove, California.
33:29
Oh, interesting, We're heading for Angel Grove, California,
33:34
coincidentally if you'd like a ride back.
33:38
Sure, but why are you going to the crater?
33:41
The crater. The crater?
33:44
Wait, no, you said. Sorry, this is really confusing.
33:48
You said it's 1943. Yes, we are in the middle of a
33:53
war. OK, so am I, but it was 197810
33:58
minutes ago. We just got back from Japan.
34:01
Yeah, we did. Teklin, you would understand
34:05
that there isn't there is a Japanese Ranger.
34:08
There is, it's the Japanese super samurai sentai.
34:12
I have the list pulled up beside me because I was going to
34:15
comment that I thought that Rex was a member of the Royal
34:19
Knights. Rex isn't cool enough to be part
34:23
of the Royal Knights. If anything, he's part of
34:25
Lightspeed. So wait, wait, wait, where did
34:29
you pick those deros up? In the crater, they were coming
34:33
out of this portal that I was tracking.
34:35
Does it? It had the same energy that you
34:42
absorbed into your, you said Aster.
34:46
Aster Yeah. You're still doing that, Rex?
34:48
No. And then I got wrecked in
34:55
trouble. I didn't.
34:58
I didn't do it intentionally. It it happened when I was
35:02
getting into prime fighting position.
35:06
It did. We'll talk about this later.
35:14
I mean, to be fair, he was in prime fighting condition.
35:17
He definitely kicked my ass a little bit.
35:21
Thank you. I tried.
35:23
And I would have had him if you would have given us a few more
35:25
minutes but lol. Did did you hear this guy?
35:32
He thought I could take the the the fallen the same thing.
35:39
But can I can I do something to add some flavour by the way?
35:42
Sure because I've got 2 points of shadow energy when Cordelia I
35:48
feel like you would notice this because you are friends with
35:52
Rex, but when you're talking to him I feel like you just see
35:55
like a purple like energy go through his eyes every couple
35:59
seconds. Yeah, she clocks that for sure.
36:03
Not doing it on purpose, my ass. I'm going to make him spend time
36:10
with Lizette later, Buck. That is fucking punishment.
36:14
OK, so Machine Empire, What the fuck?
36:18
Yeah. Sorry a little bit early on or
36:21
late on that one. That was years ago.
36:24
Years ago first. Do you guys know what a power
36:26
Ranger is? Because I don't know what an
36:29
aster is. No.
36:32
No, I don't know what a Power Ranger is.
36:34
Let's be honest, the only guy we know who probably could could
36:38
guess what a Power Ranger is, is talking on the radio right now.
36:43
Oh God, and it's so bad. Don't bring that up.
36:50
OK, I'm assuming OK, like 30 years ago did a group of aliens
36:56
come and take over the world? No.
37:00
Not here. I am not in Kansas anymore.
37:05
Kansas is It's a figure of speech that way.
37:11
Good job honey, you're getting so good at your directions.
37:14
And he's. Just going to start rattling off
37:17
names. He's like royal Knights.
37:19
No morphing grid, No. What the?
37:25
Fuck Rita Repulsa no Zed. Nope, that's a hell of a name.
37:29
Rita Repulsa. I think perhaps your portal
37:36
brought you somewhere else entirely.
37:39
Do. You want a bit.
37:41
I would love a beer. I haven't.
37:43
He's just going to pop it. He's just going to chug it
37:46
immediately like. Do you smoke?
37:48
It is. Do not light a cigarette in
37:52
here, Rex. You definitely don't, because.
37:57
And especially not one of your funny cigarettes.
38:01
Rex opens a pall that's just outside the train in front of.
38:05
The he's just like. It's not in here.
38:13
You can't be mad at me. Hi, you are the most exhausting
38:19
human being I've ever met in my life, and that's counting Ace.
38:23
A, A, a, a You take that back. I didn't.
38:29
I didn't leave you on babysitting duty with a Japanese
38:31
girl. I know, I know, I'm not sorry
38:35
about that. Enjoy your cigarette, your
38:38
outside cigarette. See, it's outside.
38:41
So you said you're at war though?
38:44
Yes. Yeah, World War 2.
38:46
World War 2 there's 7 second. 1. Yeah, this time it's a guy
38:50
called Hitler. Not just.
38:52
Hitler. There are several, this one.
38:56
Wait, he's human? Yeah.
38:58
Yes. He he wait, that whole genocide
39:02
thing? You're fighting other humans,
39:05
yes. Yeah.
39:07
With robots. Why?
39:12
Genocide. You said genocide.
39:14
Rough stuff. Yeah.
39:15
Do you want the British version or the American version?
39:19
That's why is there a difference between the two.
39:22
Because I'm British and she's American.
39:26
That's true. OK, but you're in the US, he's.
39:29
Not in the Army, He's. I just bought.
39:32
I just, I'm just owned by the Army because I'm sick.
39:35
Yeah, he's technology. Oh the while he's smoking this
39:41
through portal. He just happened to come
39:43
attached to the technology. Clothes bottle.
39:50
OK, so after World after the Great War, I guess the first one
39:58
for you. Aliens did not invite God.
40:03
My southern came out a bit there.
40:06
Aliens did not invade the Earth and take humanity as slaves.
40:11
No. No, no, no, no, no.
40:14
A lot of like very resentful German politicians ended up.
40:18
Deciding this guy was an artist and he got cooked out of art
40:22
school and then his his his Jewish girlfriend broke up with
40:26
him and he just went on the biggest crash out you've ever
40:29
seen in your life. I the.
40:33
More, you know. That's your history lesson with
40:38
Rex. Yeah, I mean, obviously there's
40:41
a lot more nuance to it than that.
40:43
But yeah, I mean, essentially, essentially this is just some
40:47
very sad, bitter men in Germany and some very sad, bitter men in
40:53
Italy and some very sad, bitter men in Japan and Russia and
40:57
Russia. Did we decide Russia was doing
40:59
this too? Russia.
40:59
Yes, not Soviet Union, but. Russia I might fix.
41:02
I might fix that later. Flush back to the restaurant
41:06
meeting. It was like Russia, Germany and
41:09
Japan. Yeah.
41:11
Yeah, I did forget about that whole.
41:15
That was like 3 weeks after we start.
41:19
So were you fighting against the mocked Krieger?
41:22
The Who? Can you write that down,
41:27
Mahwitba? I definitely haven't had paper
41:31
in years. We only speak Japanese and
41:35
English. We don't speak German yet.
41:37
We haven't gone there. You've not been to Germany to to
41:40
prove we can speak German yet. So oh wait, wait, we do have a
41:47
German guy on this train. We do.
41:51
Can somebody get Schmidt in here?
41:53
So don't worry about it. And I'm going to open that hall
41:56
like 4 foot in the air underneath Schmidt.
42:01
Oh, he's a captive. Oh no, he's not a captive.
42:03
He works. He works for us.
42:06
We don't quite understand the nuance of.
42:08
I don't quite understand a lot. I don't understand pretty much
42:14
anything about you or where you came from or when you came from
42:17
or why. You came from when you came
42:19
here, but like where you were what?
42:21
1978, he said. 1970. Eight.
42:24
Sorry, I was I was very in my own world for like 4 minutes.
42:28
Yeah, that definitely is that part.
42:33
What? What?
42:37
The your. Oh no, no, that was a regular
42:40
cigarette. If you want that, I'll take you
42:41
out in the back later. Yeah, no, he doesn't imbibe in
42:46
the devil's lettuce in front of me.
42:48
Honestly I might need that at this point.
42:52
OK so German guy on floor. Do you know what the mocked
42:58
Krieger is? Mocked Krieger means Power
43:01
Rangers in German. I don't.
43:05
Like that, He knew that. No, no, they were allies for me.
43:10
So was you said Japan. I don't think there was a team
43:14
in Russia. Definitely don't think there was
43:17
a team in Italy. The serious the Super samurai
43:21
Sentai were in Japan is. There any like weird homosexual
43:27
busboys or? I mean.
43:32
I. It's a very specific call back.
43:39
OK, so he's just going to like kind of smack himself a little
43:43
bit in the face like he's trying to wake up.
43:45
OK, so you were not invaded, but now we're everyone's fighting
43:51
each other. Yeah, pretty much.
43:54
How is that OK? It's not.
43:58
That's why we're fighting back. No, it's not OK.
44:01
That's that's that's exactly why we're fighting about it.
44:04
We weren't fighting about it. At least America wasn't.
44:07
And then? Yeah, until like.
44:08
Japan came over here and then bombed the ever loving shit out
44:13
of us. And then we went there and
44:16
fucked their shit up. You know how?
44:18
We really, we really smeared them.
44:21
It was. I.
44:23
Almost died like twice but you know.
44:26
Yeah, we don't need to get into that.
44:27
He doesn't care. I feel like if anybody cares,
44:30
it's the guy who's confused. Yeah, like, OK, so we were also
44:37
bombed, but it was by Rita and she used a star bomb on Angel
44:43
Grove and levelled the entire city.
44:45
But that's in the future and now I'm in the.
44:49
Right. OK, I'll tell you what we're
44:51
going to do. Tell you what we're going to do.
44:54
You look like you haven't haven't had a good night's sleep
44:56
in about 8 years. Actually dead on.
45:02
Exactly 8 years. Exactly 8 years.
45:09
I guess so. Here's the plan.
45:13
We're going to, we're going to leave this till the morning.
45:16
We're going. We'll go and grab some food,
45:18
we'll have some beer. We'll get you a nice bunk bed to
45:20
sleep on. This, this German man who I've
45:23
palled in, he will work on you big Blizzard robot thing, and
45:29
he'll make it. Really.
45:31
You'll make it better, I promise.
45:32
If he doesn't, he knows what's going to happen.
45:35
You can't. Threaten him anymore, Rex.
45:37
You take all the fun out. Of we have that whole meeting I.
45:40
Don't like it? I can't frighten Gary.
45:43
Five hours do not make me sit through that again.
45:46
Fuck. Sake bastard.
45:49
Declan's just going to walk over and like, put a hand on Ranger
45:54
and just for a second, just stand there.
45:58
It's going to be OK, guys. And as he turns around, he's
46:01
going to activate something on his belt and suddenly the armor
46:05
and the helmet are gone and he's just wearing AI do not remember
46:11
what he was. It was like a white muscle shirt
46:12
and like some like. Jeans and a white muscle.
46:15
Shirt or something that's 100% Tommy Oliver attire so you.
46:19
Cannot run. Oh, you're right, it was green
46:22
fatigue, yes. It was green fatigue.
46:26
Because I was trying to stay on brand.
46:29
Are they the same pattern as what the current U.S.
46:33
Army has or are they different? I think they're just like olive
46:36
drab. I don't know if there's a
46:37
pattern on them. That's.
46:40
Fair. I guess my question is like do
46:41
they? Look standard.
46:42
Also pretty dirty, so any pattern that was on them
46:45
probably is long gone. Oh yeah, yeah, he is not a clean
46:49
purse. OK, those are disgusting.
46:53
Can we please give this man a change of clothes?
46:56
Can we please? Give this man a change of
46:57
clothes, God, because I can smell you from.
47:02
Please, I don't think I've showered in like a year.
47:06
Yeah, we. Know.
47:07
At least not in a literal shower.
47:10
I've been bathing in streams. We really can tell.
47:15
Yeah, as soon as he says that, Rex just clicks, drops him in
47:20
the shower. Whose shower did you put him in?
47:24
You know that one guy who stubbed his toe in mess hall the
47:28
other day and fell over? OK.
47:30
I was just worried that you put him in Lizette's shower and I
47:32
was going to have to. Deal with no, no, I've got
47:35
respect for for Ace, but I can't.
47:38
I can't have her swoon over this new guy who is 10 times more
47:42
attractive than Ace ever will be.
47:46
Speaking of Ace, as you guys are walking through, you hear
47:49
another radio broadcast. This time it's an interview show
47:53
that's on the TV, or it's on the it's on the radio.
47:57
So, Ace, tell us the story of your daring escape from a
48:00
Japanese POW camp. All right, so I don't want to
48:05
sugarcoat this, right? I was a prisoner of war, like a
48:09
real life in a camp, in a jail cell.
48:12
They hadn't fed me for days. They were trying to starve me
48:15
out. They were trying to keep me
48:17
sleep deprived. It was bad.
48:20
But I'll tell you what, my good old American ingenuity and my
48:25
hard drive right here, that that beats with the the red blood of
48:30
an American soldier. I figured a way out.
48:34
I busted right out of there and I smacked those son of sons of
48:38
bitches right there in their mouths and I escaped before they
48:41
could get any information from me.
48:43
Oh my God, to honor kill him, we're going to have to honor
48:46
kill him. I'm going to I'm going to kill
48:49
him. I'm not going to honor kill him.
48:51
I'm just going to regular kill him.
48:53
And that's where we end. All right, I never know how to
49:00
start these things, but hey, it's me editing.
49:03
