- 0:01Keto Keto diet and it's killing me, killing yourself.
- 0:06Kitting yourself yet I. Have stopped shitting myself.
- 0:09That's good. I'm.
- 0:10Really happy for you. I can tell you now I'm not happy
- 0:13for me either. Right?
- 0:14Don't worry. But I've lost like 11 lbs this
- 0:18week so is it mostly? From.
- 0:19Shitting yourself because you're shitting yourself?
- 0:21Yeah, that was also my question. I think you're almost shitting
- 0:25yourself. Diet, not the keto.
- 0:26Diet. No I was only shitting myself
- 0:28until like Wednesday and then it's been all good since then.
- 0:33But then I decimate. I sent picture a matter picture
- 0:37on my foot yesterday after I decimated it with like a 5 LB
- 0:40candle. That's not fun either.
- 0:44Have a nice big black bruise on my foot.
- 0:47You've had more foot injuries in the last year since we were
- 0:50started recording this than, I mean several of them have been
- 0:53on camera. You're just randomly kicking
- 0:55your shit. Yeah, I do love it when you just
- 0:58randomly kick your shit and then we hear that like shit fuck
- 1:02motherfucker in the background. It just is really special.
- 1:06Yeah. I I just get, it's like my, I
- 1:09get like ADHD and I can't stay still.
- 1:12I move my feet instead of moving my hands so I don't look like
- 1:14I'm moving around like this and then.
- 1:16And I'm kicking shit nice like like cushion that I put my feet
- 1:20on. It's like a foot under desk.
- 1:22I don't have that much space. Literally right behind this
- 1:27monitor that you're all on is a wall and my feet.
- 1:31Touch the wall when? I'm on like the batteries that
- 1:33are. All of our monitors are.
- 1:36I don't know. My friend has he's you're in
- 1:37the. Middle of my living room.
- 1:40Well, you're that's. Fair.
- 1:41That's fair, yeah. Oh, we didn't pay attention.
- 1:43You're on the new laptop. We didn't see how they started
- 1:45recording. But I think shit quick.
- 1:48I I think it was pretty quick because I didn't pay attention
- 1:50to it. You also looked, yes.
- 1:52I also figured. Out.
- 1:54That on the Riverside it tells you when Brian starts recording
- 1:58after everybody else. So you're you're still 520 P,
- 2:03but that's fine, you still look better in general.
- 2:06Yeah, I just, I don't own a webcam, I just use the.
- 2:11Laptop. It works.
- 2:13It's working. It functions and it works better
- 2:16than the 12 year old MacBook that I was using before you do.
- 2:20It is a better 7:20 than the previous.
- 2:23Thank God. The previous was like 144 at
- 2:27best. That seems generous actually.
- 2:34Oh, did I tell you all about my best friend wanted me to sleep
- 2:36with his sister-in-law at his wedding?
- 2:39Wait, I'm sorry. Oh, so now you've taken a third
- 2:44job as a gigolo? It's strange.
- 2:51Being a tree really messes with your perception of time.
- 2:55I could have been there for two days, I could have been there
- 2:57for two years. I truly have no idea, but I am
- 3:01glad that Rex and Cordelia were able to make it out here.
- 3:03And there's this other guy to Declan seems like a good kid,
- 3:07and you know, it's nice to see him after all this time.
- 3:11Even though Cordelia is going to come up with something truly
- 3:14godless and insane as a punishment for me doing what I
- 3:17did Well, the only thing that worries me now is the feelings
- 3:23that I'm getting from Rex. Something's about to happen and
- 3:28it's not going to be good. The Multiverse Collective.
- 4:17We ended the last session, the Fallen was advancing towards
- 4:23Ace, and I believe we established right at the very
- 4:27end that you had all ran in the same general direction.
- 4:30So we have the Fallen chasing Cordelia on her motorcycle, Ace
- 4:37on foot for the moment, and the Green Dragon Sword.
- 4:42Ranger, yeah. I don't use it's name a lot, but
- 4:45it is named. Yeah I know, but I figured just
- 4:48for a set up, at the very least call it by it's name.
- 4:52So who would like to do what to start this?
- 4:58I think the first thing that ACE is going to do is transform in
- 5:04the Hyperion. That seems like a good first
- 5:06step. So you're going to just trigger
- 5:10transformation? Are you going to do anything
- 5:13else, or are you going to just keep running?
- 5:17I think right now I'm going to keep running.
- 5:20I I know Hyperion is much much slower so I'm going to focus
- 5:25like all systems to to speed just to see if I can get some
- 5:29distance. OK.
- 5:32Is anybody else going to stop, or is everybody just going to
- 5:34keep running? I think the last thing Cordelia
- 5:38told Declan to do was to run, and I do have.
- 5:42I've completely forgotten her name.
- 5:44Lizette. Lizette.
- 5:46Yes, I've got Lizette in the cockpit of.
- 5:49Aces whore. OK, so.
- 5:54Cordelia, you can't call them that.
- 6:06I love how that's just a running bit for everything.
- 6:11I think as we're running I would like to try to read the room.
- 6:15Oh OK, that is a plus sense. I'm going to be so real, I just
- 6:22rolled so poorly that it actually doesn't matter what it
- 6:25is. All right, well, go ahead and
- 6:27mark a spotlight at least. That is a six.
- 6:31A6 All right. Yeah, that gets you eject shit
- 6:34and read the room. Oh wait, out of failure.
- 6:36You may ask one of these above questions immediately, but the
- 6:38answer creates problems or puts you in danger.
- 6:41Yeah, so I don't want to ask a question and create problems.
- 6:44I'm fine not knowing anything you're.
- 6:46Not, I guess it does say May. It does say may.
- 6:49All right, fine. I'll let you not ask.
- 6:54All right. Yeah, Cordelia is so distracted
- 6:56by running that she just like, she like, tries to assess the
- 6:59situation, but it's just, it's not fucking possible.
- 7:03And the adrenaline is. Too high I.
- 7:04Don't remember if I said it but I am going to say that she does.
- 7:07I have her motorcycle so she is not just on foot.
- 7:10Yeah, you said she was. On foot, which is which is
- 7:12great. However, we are in the woods so.
- 7:15I didn't say it was a good thing.
- 7:16You just haven't. Yeah.
- 7:18It's not I We're doing our best, yes.
- 7:22We're doing. Our best seem like he's gaining
- 7:24on us. That's a great question.
- 7:26He has fucking portals. Fuck.
- 7:30He has fucking portals, US running does like Jack shit.
- 7:34He can portal the fucking Germany if he wanted to right
- 7:36now. Like our plan before this was to
- 7:40portal to the UK and then into Germany.
- 7:51So we go inside the fallen and we see quote UN quote Rex, his
- 7:58eyes are glowing purple fire with the shadow energy and it's
- 8:02overflowing from him. And as we zoom in on Rex, we see
- 8:07one of his dog tags and the dog tag says Allison Hunter on it.
- 8:12And as as we zoom in on the dog tag, we the screen goes dark and
- 8:18we see this dog tag again hanging from a young woman and
- 8:23she's shaking Rex awake. Hey, Rex.
- 8:28What? What So, Ali?
- 8:32It's it's your turn and you look down and you realize you're in
- 8:35the middle of a game. Of Uno fuck Rex places a green
- 8:48free I'm not even looking at the table in front of them, just
- 8:52throws a green freedom. You you have this weird sense of
- 8:56Deja vu, and you have this sense that you were just having a very
- 8:59strange, vivid dream. A lot of weird shit was
- 9:03happening, but you can't really seem to recall much of it.
- 9:07It just seemed very intense. Oh, I'm glad.
- 9:11I'm glad you woke me up when you did.
- 9:12I don't know. That was well, that was a weird
- 9:15dream. Yes, yeah.
- 9:18I mean, you kind of passed out there for like a minute between
- 9:21turns. Was that it seemed pretty
- 9:23intense the whole time you were out.
- 9:26And it it felt like at least, what, five years or something?
- 9:33And at the bottom of the screen we see a a a place tag and Rex
- 9:39is currently in Dunkirk. You after after a few minutes,
- 9:47another one of your squad mates, Brittany, Brittany O'connors
- 9:54kind of shakes you. It's like, hey, hey, Rex.
- 9:57Yeah. I want to show you something.
- 10:01OK, OK, cool, cool, cool, cool. Rex just stands up and follows.
- 10:07And the other people sitting around playing, you know, sort
- 10:11of give you an annoying look as she walks back with you.
- 10:15And she turns around once you guys are sort of in private and
- 10:18goes, you know, we're going to start the evacuation tomorrow.
- 10:23Rex looks at a watch that isn't there, and he goes, Really so
- 10:27soon? We feel like we only just got
- 10:29here. Apparently, the Germans are on
- 10:31the way. Oh lovely.
- 10:33And you're going to try and get out on the first ship or you?
- 10:38Didn't hear our orders, did you? You know me, Brittany, I don't
- 10:42pay attention. I get told to go somewhere and
- 10:45do something and go to that place and do that thing and
- 10:48that's it. We're holding the lines, Rex.
- 10:52Oh lovely. Well, you know, the squad's
- 10:58pretty good at our job, you know, we've got quite a few
- 11:01missions under our belt, so I'm sure this will be known like no
- 11:05different from the rest of. It she she nods and looks and
- 11:09goes. You know what that means, don't
- 11:10you? No, sorry.
- 11:15I feel like I'm I've got this really weird sense of like I've
- 11:18seen this before. You know, the night before I
- 11:23fight, I got to get in the outer show as she starts taking off
- 11:26her outfit and we flashback outside into
- 11:41the combat. Yeah, so the, the the the fall
- 11:46in has hurled in front of the path of everybody.
- 11:52Yep, that tracks. And is standing that sort of
- 11:54takes a stance ready for a fight.
- 11:56And you hear Rex's voice quote UN quote, but not quite Rex's
- 12:01voice, y'all? Just got to run standard fight.
- 12:07No, I'm not trying to mimic not all this is.
- 12:13Ma'am, I don't think we're getting away from this.
- 12:16No, I don't think we are either. Let's not look at.
- 12:20Permission to engage. I don't think we have another
- 12:22option. OK, I let's do, I mean Cordelia,
- 12:30you're in command. Go ahead and roll a sortie.
- 12:33We'll call it +2 for your crew. +2 OK.
- 12:38And we'll see if you get any or actually no, it wouldn't be plus
- 12:42crew, it'd be plus no. Plus no.
- 12:46OK, that's plus one for me. OK, plus one.
- 12:49That's a 10. 10 All right, so nothing untoward happens,
- 12:54Everybody is prepared and there's no like.
- 12:57No, it's -1 my, no, is -1 it's a nine.
- 13:02All right, the crew stumbles, misses something important, or
- 13:05is unprepared. So I guess maybe even though you
- 13:08knew he could do it, you weren't quite expecting him to show up
- 13:11right in front of you where he did, and he's a little bit
- 13:14closer than you were expecting. Yeah, that tracks.
- 13:19Yeah, tracks. We knew he could portal.
- 13:23We didn't know where the fuck he was going to show up.
- 13:26Oh God. And I am naked without my Arden,
- 13:31without my crew, without my foot soldiers.
- 13:35I have a handgun and I am facing off against what is essentially
- 13:41A demigod that is capable of portaling me anywhere, anywhere,
- 13:46at any time. We've watched him portal people
- 13:48into the air and drop them to their desks.
- 13:52He could. He could end this in 10 seconds
- 13:55if he wanted to. And he is just fucking toying
- 13:59with us. And he happens to be one of my
- 14:02closest friends so I don't actually want to fucking kill
- 14:04him. What the fuck am I going to do?
- 14:07What the fuck are you going to do?
- 14:08What? The fuck am I going to do, Kyle?
- 14:10Are you going to do anything? I think God damn it, I think I'm
- 14:18going to. I mean you could try and command
- 14:22your your troops as well, like you don't have to make a direct
- 14:25action. Like you could try and find
- 14:27maybe some like plan, like make a plan maybe like a way that
- 14:33maybe you can fight around the portals, maybe some way to like
- 14:38where they where they should position themselves to fight.
- 14:41You know how the divine fights you could figure out a way to?
- 14:44That is, that is true. I think our best bet is, and
- 14:49she's going to radio this so that is yours.
- 14:52I think our best bet is trapping and where he stands.
- 14:56If we can secure him so that he can't portal out, we stand at
- 14:59least some semblance of a chance.
- 15:01Understood. Noted.
- 15:03All right, let me see what I can do.
- 15:05Do you want to? Do you want to roll the help to
- 15:07see if maybe you can give them an advantage on their next roll?
- 15:10Yeah, I think that's probably my best bet.
- 15:14Let's see, I think. I think you'll get a + 2 on this
- 15:18based on the the rules for helper hander.
- 15:21OK, well, that's a 12. Beautiful.
- 15:27Both of the other pilots can take advantage, thank God,
- 15:31whatever they're doing this turn.
- 15:33All right, I had a thought sure. And tell me if this is too many
- 15:38things to do at once. But essentially what I want to
- 15:41do is kind of I imagine that at least for now, Hyperion would
- 15:46probably try and, you know, draw aggro and and take a hit.
- 15:53Also, since Hyperion can like, change shapes, change shapes,
- 15:59that's a weird way to save like can do.
- 16:06It's going to go from a square to a Pentagon.
- 16:09No, I I was thinking of letting Cordelia get up in the cockpit
- 16:16of Hyperion just so she's a little safer and she can kind of
- 16:19lead from there. I don't think she wants to do
- 16:22that. Fair enough.
- 16:24She's going to stay vulnerable and in her little flesh costume
- 16:28on the ground. All right then, I think.
- 16:31I mean to be fair. Truly the bravest of us.
- 16:34Well, I mean, there is some logic behind that because if Ace
- 16:39is going to be, you know, tanking blows from this thing,
- 16:42that may not exactly. Be the same spot.
- 16:45To. Be.
- 16:47It's fair. Right now, she's least likely to
- 16:50get targeted on foot. OK.
- 16:52What, what would you like to do in lieu of that then?
- 16:55All right. I think in lieu of that, I'm
- 16:57going to just try and exchange blows and I think Ace is just
- 17:01going to try and give some leverage to Declan and the
- 17:06Dragon Zord by just trying to subvert the genre and like get
- 17:12Rex and Hoopa off guard just by running in and trying to like
- 17:20trying to give a give a punch. OK, go ahead and and exchange
- 17:25book and you get advantage on this.
- 17:28Cool. So that's going to be a 10 with
- 17:30advantage. 10 with advantage. All right, I believe that is
- 17:35just a full success. OK, so you can, you can, you
- 17:41will put a risk on on the fallen.
- 17:45Actually, would I be able to take a risk and put the fallen
- 17:49in peril? Normally, yes, but I'm just
- 17:52counting like a risk as a health point and apparel is also just a
- 17:56health point and I don't want you to have to take undue
- 17:57health. All right.
- 17:58So I, I was going to give you the option, but I'm, I mean, I
- 18:02feel like you're going to want to keep his ear as much as your
- 18:04health as possible. Yeah, that's that's fair.
- 18:06OK, so I think what happens is Ace in Hyperion makes a move as
- 18:13if he's going to do that kind of like, you know what, what would
- 18:17be expected of him to go invisible hideout and just try
- 18:21and start like sniping. But I think Hyperion's going to
- 18:25go kind of into the tree line and come right back out and is
- 18:30just the fallen is just going to get this massive like wooden
- 18:34fist to the the face. OK.
- 18:38And since you rolled well, I think you did take Hoopa off
- 18:40guard with that and you managed to sneak past any defenses and
- 18:43you land a good solid blow. All right.
- 18:53Declan. I want to do this now, or do I
- 18:56want to wait? No, we're all cards on the table
- 18:59now. I'm going to do the thing you
- 19:01kept trying to get me to do last time.
- 19:03Declan's going to reach up in the air, pull the sword out from
- 19:08the grid, and as he does, 5 shimmering figures are going to
- 19:14pull down with it as I seek allies.
- 19:20OK, interesting. I'm a swarm now all.
- 19:23Right. All right, so as you as you grab
- 19:30this sword and you sort of you feel the power coming from the
- 19:35coins of your app, your fallen friends.
- 19:37You see them. You see like not them in like a
- 19:41corporeal form, but sort of just like their auras, each of them
- 19:46standing at one of the consoles of the dragon sword, like the
- 19:49console like and 1 by 1 you see the the black coin is slot down
- 19:58shit. Which one is?
- 19:59Which Triceratops is? Blue Triceratops is blue, yes.
- 20:05So you see the blue toy, the blue coin and the yellow coin
- 20:09all slot into different slots on the dragon Zord and the other
- 20:14coins sort of fly out the window and and Ranger begins to sort of
- 20:20change and shift. The parts of it that you've
- 20:22repaired have are beginning to sort of repair themselves as
- 20:28they should be back to how the how how the grid originally
- 20:34built it. And as it does, it begins to
- 20:37shift and change. The legs become the Saber
- 20:41toothed tiger and the triceratops and the top folds up
- 20:46and the Mastodon folds around it As for the first time in years
- 20:51the Dragon sword has entered battle mode.
- 20:56Sick. Which it means you're no longer
- 20:59a dragon, you are a dude and your tail becomes a sword.
- 21:04Actually, your tail becomes a staff.
- 21:06I I didn't think you could do that.
- 21:10I didn't think I could anymore either.
- 21:17Oh man, threw me off all right. And then as my actual thing, I'm
- 21:27going to oh, I guess I have to exchange blows.
- 21:30He's not technically defenseless.
- 21:32So and I'm going to exchange blows.
- 21:35I'm just going to charge in this new form.
- 21:38And I guess now I don't have the sword, I have the staff.
- 21:40I'm just going to whip the staff forward and move to just crack
- 21:46against. Do I know where they are in
- 21:50their asters? They're in the chest.
- 21:51You would know that. OK, you've been.
- 21:53You've been around them enough. I'm going to try to hit the
- 22:00staff against one of the arms and try to disable it.
- 22:05OK, I'll piece by piece it if I have to.
- 22:09This didn't work well. You get a 2O.
- 22:12Don't forget you roll with advantage.
- 22:14Yeah, I roll 3. 2 All right. You 6 total.
- 22:24OK, well, that's still go ahead and take your take your
- 22:28spotlight. Yeah, yeah, just move this on up
- 22:30a little bit. Being as you are coming straight
- 22:32on Hoopa very easily. He drops a portal and you just
- 22:36end up behind him with your big thrust and you are.
- 22:38We're going to call you off balance for your your risk for
- 22:43now. We go back into Rex.
- 22:55It's a respectable amount of time later.
- 22:58It's not just three minutes. 34 seconds.
- 23:03Nice. I was going to give you 45
- 23:04seconds. But 450 new record, man.
- 23:13Rex and Brittany are laying in one of the bunks and she looks
- 23:20over. He goes, what are you going to
- 23:21do after the water wrecks? That I, I think I'll stay in the
- 23:27army. It's it's a home for me now.
- 23:31Well, you know, you could have another home.
- 23:32You could always come back and live with me in Ireland.
- 23:34I was. Going to say you offered me to
- 23:35take me back to Ireland. Might as well, right?
- 23:43You know, you do make me happy, so I suppose that's a good
- 23:46consolation prize to fighting all these Nazis.
- 23:50Let's work on getting home first.
- 23:53That's the plan. I'm sorry, if anyone ever calls
- 23:57me a consolation prize I'm going to kill myself.
- 24:05Devastating. Devastating.
- 24:09Oh my God, that was a a little 4 minutes and 54 seconds.
- 24:15Damn. Oh look, I said it was a romance
- 24:18subplot. I didn't say it was a good
- 24:20romance subplot. Oh.
- 24:23Man. You gave me the cigarette shit.
- 24:26You can do better, and I know that you can't.
- 24:29Gave me, you actually messaged me at like 10:00 my time.
- 24:33I went just so you know, I'm just going to have a
- 24:34relationship thrown in there. And I was like, oh, OK.
- 24:37Just so you know, you're getting laid tonight.
- 24:42All your friends. I need to make this hurt better,
- 24:45OK? I I I needed to add something to
- 24:47it. It can't just be friend death.
- 24:49There has to be war to it. That's there.
- 24:51Has to be a. Reason Rex is so broken.
- 24:54That's very no. It doesn't matter, she's going
- 24:56to serve him the papers for calling in that.
- 25:01The divorce is really wise. I'm sure she didn't.
- 25:04Just all her soul. She killed the kids.
- 25:11Goddamn Britney took kids. Look, are we, are we expecting
- 25:15more of Rex? Come on now.
- 25:16Yeah, let's do that right. She's a very, very straight
- 25:19edged person. All right, we're back.
- 25:32So Hoopa is going to look over at Hyperion.
- 25:39Ace, you're never good enough to be in this.
- 25:43You know that refs carried you the entire time.
- 25:45What do you think you're even going to do?
- 25:47I am more powerful than he was in the same body.
- 25:50And it's going to like port behind you and attack.
- 25:55All right. Go ahead and make me an A
- 25:59weather the storm. Or.
- 26:02Actually exchange blows I think. Exchange blows.
- 26:05Because that's just the combat. That's another 1011, sorry. 11
- 26:12All right, so how do you block this attack from behind and deal
- 26:16damage? I think Ace like, jams his two
- 26:21fists into the ground and there was just like a wall of roots
- 26:24that basically come up and like block this attack.
- 26:29And Ace without looking, just replies and says that may be
- 26:34true. I don't need to be more powerful
- 26:36than you by myself. I just need to give everybody
- 26:39you know else enough time to finish this.
- 26:43And you, you get this vibe that a a sense of calm washes over
- 26:48you. Coming from Hyperion, she knows
- 26:50that you're fighting your friend and she wants you to not have
- 26:54like a clouded head. She's trying to clear your mind
- 26:56to keep you keep your head sharp.
- 26:59Yeah. And I think before that, I think
- 27:01Ace was trying to figure out, you know, in addition to battle
- 27:05planning and like trying to, you know, trying to work the the
- 27:10field around Cordelia and Declan.
- 27:11I think he was also trying to think, how do I do this without
- 27:14collateral damage to my friend Rex?
- 27:16But I think this wave of calm is just kind of silences that and
- 27:20lets him focus on tactics. Yeah.
- 27:30I have a legitimate idea and I think this is part of the reason
- 27:34why I kept Cordelia on foot. She's been in the cockpit of the
- 27:38Divine before. She does know how to get in, and
- 27:41now that he's temporarily, I don't know if he's stunned or if
- 27:46he's just like a little thrown off balance because he doesn't
- 27:48normally take blows from enemies.
- 27:50Cordelia wants to rush in and scramble up and try and climb
- 27:54into the cockpit with Rex. Interesting.
- 27:57Well, that's obviously going to be a weather of the storm.
- 27:59Obviously it's going to be a weather of the storm and I would
- 28:02like to make a case for it being defy because I am just fucking
- 28:06going. Yeah, Defy.
- 28:08That's. Not an intelligent plan.
- 28:10Do you? What do you got?
- 28:13You could use this as a watch this even though you're.
- 28:16Not in your heart. This.
- 28:17Yeah. You could, it says you your crew
- 28:19or an ardent and you count as part of your crew.
- 28:22Yeah, fuck it. We're going to use a watch this.
- 28:24I'm going to burn 3 of my spotlight.
- 28:25I'm at 4, but hell yeah, I'm going to burn.
- 28:28I'm going to burn it. Let's go.
- 28:30I want it. And this it says take advantage
- 28:34of weather the storm if it's making you burn 3 spotlight.
- 28:37I've I've established this before.
- 28:38If you're using that something that important, you can just
- 28:42have it work. OK.
- 28:43So how are you? How are you climbing the Fallen?
- 28:47Cordelia is going to drive her motorcycle as like fast as she
- 28:52can in between the legs, and she's going to hop up on the
- 28:56ladder as she passes by it and sort of like let her motorcycle
- 29:01skid. And she's just going to use the
- 29:04momentum that she's generated for herself to like get up as
- 29:08fast as humanly possible and try and get into the cockpit.
- 29:11OK, we'll say your turn is spent climbing.
- 29:14Yeah. And we'll come back to it,
- 29:16Declan. I am going to.
- 29:21I figure both of them are trying to keep him occupied and
- 29:24everything, so my best bet is I'm going to keep trying to down
- 29:31him so that we can talk Sue. I'm going to exchange blows once
- 29:37again and I'm going to use walk on part in the war and use my
- 29:44home which will overheat my aster and let's see what we go.
- 29:52So plus +2 on this. It's even worse than last time.
- 29:57Well, you get another advancement, there's another
- 29:59spotlight. So you're you're crawling
- 30:02towards that needed to get that movie on it.
- 30:05Do I use a full action to use my subsystem stuff?
- 30:09What were you trying to use? I have heat condensers.
- 30:13You can use those. Yeah, I just automatically UN
- 30:15overheat. Yep.
- 30:17Cool. So back inside Rex, it's the
- 30:32next day, early morning, and your squad is set up on the
- 30:38about about 1/4 mile outside Dunkirk.
- 30:40And your job is to hold, hold this line for as long as you can
- 30:44before you retreat back as Britain, as Allied soldiers are
- 30:49basically just trying to retreat out of France.
- 30:53There's all sorts of boats and stuff in the harbor waiting to
- 30:56get filled. We just need to hold them off as
- 30:58long as possible. OK.
- 31:00How are you? What, what is your job?
- 31:02Are you just a like, what is your rank?
- 31:04What is like? Do you have like a
- 31:05specialization? We never talked about that.
- 31:08I think Rex and his crew were sort of just like the the guys
- 31:15they sent in when they wanted to fuck shit up, you know, they
- 31:18wanted everything to to just be gone afterwards, so they'd like.
- 31:23So, so you're like a sort of just like a, a squad of like
- 31:26specialists. Yeah.
- 31:27OK. And what's what's Rex's
- 31:29specialisation specifically? I think he, I think he's just
- 31:33like, like strategic. I think because he's, I think
- 31:37he's the the commander role, the commander role of of the, the
- 31:42team. Right.
- 31:43So what, what is your plan then for this?
- 31:46How are you going to hold this line?
- 31:48I think the the squad already knows like how the formation,
- 31:55the best formation from to use and it's one that we've used in
- 31:59many other areas. So we'll have like the like the
- 32:05small arms specialists up front to be able to take any enemies
- 32:08that come close. And then we have two long range
- 32:13like rifle slash snipers. And then we have one demolitions
- 32:18expert who uses like rockets and stuff.
- 32:21And we just sort of try and cover as much ground in front of
- 32:25us that we can. OK.
- 32:28You see, it's I actually had to go do a reading on this fucking
- 32:33defensive Dunkirk. It is so swampy that there's no
- 32:37armor divisions. It's just soldiers, ground
- 32:40troops advancing. And I think as they sort of get
- 32:46into sight and the lines sort of start to engage, it's not very
- 32:53long into the fight before Rex takes three or four shots to the
- 32:58chest. Yep.
- 33:00And as as he falls back, you see your your team calling for
- 33:07medics and to get you retreated while you're there back outside.
- 33:21Hoopa is not thrilled with the way this fight has been going so
- 33:24far and he's really irritated about it.
- 33:27He is going to. I don't know if he notices
- 33:31Cordelia climbing at the moment. I think she might have been too
- 33:34like inconsequential for the moment.
- 33:37So he turns around and he just sort of takes a big swipe.
- 33:40It clashes at a Declan. So go ahead and make me a
- 33:44exchange blows. Exchange blows is.
- 33:49Plus clash. Plus the oh, it's the same thing
- 33:52I've been doing. Oh, the thing I've been failing
- 33:54this whole time. Yep.
- 33:56I'm going to can I overheat on your?
- 33:59Attack. Sure.
- 34:00Yeah. I'm going to overheat myself
- 34:02again. It's my plus home.
- 34:04I'm going to immediately negate it because I reactivated my
- 34:08condensers with my extra power I didn't use.
- 34:11OK. 9. All right.
- 34:15Oh, you didn't take a damage last time, did you?
- 34:17You should have. Oh, I should have, yes.
- 34:20What's a good one for that? Because.
- 34:22I've already got off balanced. You didn't take damage.
- 34:26You just kind of fucked up what you were trying to do.
- 34:30I don't know. I'll, I'll let you figure out
- 34:31what danger you want to take for that.
- 34:34In this case, you would you get a nine on this one?
- 34:37You said yeah. OK, so both of you are forced to
- 34:40take a risk. So you deal 1/3 damage to the
- 34:44fallen, and then you also take your third risk.
- 34:47OK. I think this one is damage
- 34:49because it was a defense attack. OK, so it it is dealing you a
- 34:55damage. So damage as the danger.
- 34:58Yep. All right.
- 34:59And the other one. OK.
- 35:02I'm going to say as the other one, I am disarmed.
- 35:07I lost the staff. OK, this will be perfect.
- 35:10OK, so here here's how this plays out as you as it turns
- 35:14around and makes this attack it you, you managed to like get
- 35:18your sword up, your staff up just enough to block an attack
- 35:22and it the the staff flies out of your hand and for your
- 35:27damage, it's going to come around and it's going you're
- 35:30just going to see like if it if the fallen could grin, it would
- 35:34be grinning maniacally and it's sword is going to just be a
- 35:37straight thrust right through the pilot area of the dragon
- 35:43sword. She.
- 35:46Told me gonna call you. Got to answer when you call you,
- 35:50she told me. Gonna break the moon.
- 35:53We ain't going to stop. But this feeling is not right.
- 36:12They go yet we're never going to stop.
- 36:19Mama, did you raise no quitter? Mama, did you raise?
- 36:24No quitter. Mama did a rest, No quitter.
- 36:29Mama did a rest. No quitter.
- 36:32Mama did a rest. No quitter.
- 36:36Mama did a rest. No quitter.
- 36:39Mama did a rest. No quitter.
- 36:42Mama did a rest. Yeah, Yeah, we go.
