  Speaker 4: Poor kid, class man, that classic situation, poor magical babyan.
• 0:56
  Speaker 2: Wait wait, wait, the videos the videos lagging. What's happening?
• 0:59
  Speaker 5: I guess he almost fell over trying to extend the rochester.
• 1:05
  Speaker 4: Like a beached away, like flopped under the table. He's
• 1:08
  Speaker 4: putting his body on the line.
• 1:10
  Speaker 6: Yeah, okay, it's too early in the night to get

  Speaker 3: I wouldn't try to stop it now. If that's why
• 1:26
  Speaker 3: you have come, he won't survive.
• 1:29
  Speaker 4: If you do well, then turn it off. Man, just
• 1:33
  Speaker 4: change that kid bag, you fucking sicko. I am done
• 1:38
  Speaker 4: with the whole surgical way of doing things. It was
• 1:42
  Speaker 4: too messy.
• 1:43
  Speaker 3: This, he gestures to the tanks, this is clean, beautiful,
• 1:48
  Speaker 3: it's exciting. I'm not sure what will happen. I wonder
• 1:53
  Speaker 3: if that's how God thought when he created animals. I
• 1:56
  Speaker 3: wonder if there was any surprise when he created Adam.
• 2:00
  Speaker 4: Should though, no, no, get this kid uncanted right now, dude,
• 2:05
  Speaker 4: there's God. I'm not gonna ask again.
• 2:07
  Speaker 3: Yeah what he said, Oh dear, I was hoping it
• 2:12
  Speaker 3: wouldn't come to blows.
• 2:14
  Speaker 5: Really, you've sent so many monsters at us before you.
• 2:18
  Speaker 3: You made gorilla arm freaked so four blob throwing Reginald Spencer.
• 2:27
  Speaker 3: The two gorilla men walk forward. He gestures to them.
• 2:32
  Speaker 3: I set out to fuse a man with a gorilla,
• 2:38
  Speaker 3: but the gorilla became a man and the man became
• 2:42
  Speaker 3: a gorilla. I got two for one, you see, exciting surprising.
• 2:49
  Speaker 3: These two men gorillas step forward, both hulking and breathing heavily.
• 2:56
  Speaker 3: One has the arms of a gorilla, the other one
• 2:59
  Speaker 3: has the leggs, one has the head, the other one
• 3:01
  Speaker 3: has the chest. It's just kind of a mixed match
• 3:05
  Speaker 3: of two men gorillas.
• 3:06
  Speaker 2: Okay, so they're both weaker than one gorilla.
• 3:10
  Speaker 7: I think that's that would be the logical. Yeah, both
• 3:14
  Speaker 7: smarter than one gorilla. Yeah, they're stupider than one man
• 3:18
  Speaker 7: and weaker than one gorilla. This is fine, This is fine.
• 3:24
  Speaker 3: You, as God was, and as I was, maybe surprised.
• 3:33
  Speaker 2: Let's go ahead and roll order.
• 3:35
  Speaker 3: As these two gorilla men step forward, Reginald than Spencer.
• 3:40
  Speaker 5: My two favorite mall stores, Spencer's and Reginald's.
• 3:44
  Speaker 4: Yeah, sorry, Johnny, we're still doing ready checks. We haven't
• 3:49
  Speaker 4: changed that rule, right, correct, cul goooo, let's correct.
• 3:53
  Speaker 8: Correct fucking pieces. She You're gonna fuck up these funky
• 4:02
  Speaker 8: there apemen. Okay, so true?
• 4:06
  Speaker 1: No tails the Simmis sites.
• 4:13
  Speaker 2: Anybody get over five?
• 4:15
  Speaker 6: I got a six ten.
• 4:18
  Speaker 2: Four to watch your speed one.
• 4:22
  Speaker 6: One one energy not fast unless I'm Nightning keeping it Nightning?
• 4:28
  Speaker 6: Who turned out the nights.
• 4:32
  Speaker 2: Two rungs?
• 4:33
  Speaker 3: Do make a night before combat officially begins. I'll give
• 4:38
  Speaker 3: you each kind of a free action here. You can
• 4:41
  Speaker 3: try to sense something in the room. You can ask
• 4:44
  Speaker 3: a question like whatever you want to do with a
• 4:45
  Speaker 3: free action, go for it as the monkey men excuse me,
• 4:50
  Speaker 3: as the simions the ape men start to walk forward.
• 4:56
  Speaker 2: Spencer and Reginald.
• 4:57
  Speaker 6: Spencer and Reginald Quantum noted in this madman's speech about
• 5:02
  Speaker 6: the process being non reversible. But also you mentioned giant
• 5:07
  Speaker 6: electric tubes. So I would love to sense those and
• 5:12
  Speaker 6: see if I could reverse the process. Yeah, potentially with
• 5:17
  Speaker 6: my limited man and cat becoming one knowledge.
• 5:21
  Speaker 3: Yeah, roll a knowledge check. This is a challenging check.
• 5:25
  Speaker 3: So I'm rolling a D.
• 5:25
  Speaker 9: Ten im own babies, Okay, seven to five to This
• 5:34
  Speaker 9: kind of fusion takes a lot of power, a lot
• 5:37
  Speaker 9: of energy that you're familiar with what's happening in the tank.
• 5:42
  Speaker 3: I'll say this with that success. There's a ton going
• 5:45
  Speaker 3: on in that tank. The bodies are becoming one through
• 5:51
  Speaker 3: genetic modification, and also there's a ton going on with
• 5:56
  Speaker 3: soul and spirit in there that you can't like fully
• 6:01
  Speaker 3: grasp because your powers aren't spiritual.
• 6:05
  Speaker 2: Yeah, however, I do.
• 6:08
  Speaker 3: Think you note that the being who is the King
• 6:15
  Speaker 3: of Decay and the spirit of the range are one thing.
• 6:21
  Speaker 3: This process is going to make a third.
• 6:26
  Speaker 6: Thing because he is connected spiritually to the priests that
• 6:34
  Speaker 6: we met, is what I'm deducing.
• 6:36
  Speaker 3: This will make him something other than he is meant
• 6:40
  Speaker 3: to be. Yes, Yi, the three of you in this
• 6:45
  Speaker 3: fight need to somehow allow this fusion to happen while
• 6:52
  Speaker 3: attempting to maintain the spirit of the King.
• 7:02
  Speaker 2: You noticed anything about.
• 7:03
  Speaker 6: The tubes, No, But I feel like something's coming to you.
• 7:08
  Speaker 6: I'm like starting to like edge backwards towards the King.
• 7:11
  Speaker 6: Something's coming together. I think we have to let it
• 7:14
  Speaker 6: happen physically, but not spiritually.
• 7:18
  Speaker 2: Okay.
• 7:18
  Speaker 6: I don't really know what that means as I'm even.
• 7:20
  Speaker 1: Saying it, but it feels right.
• 7:22
  Speaker 2: I got a I got an idea.
• 7:25
  Speaker 5: Okay, Well, before he died, Arthur put his spirit into
• 7:30
  Speaker 5: the book.
• 7:31
  Speaker 2: Yeah, so.
• 7:34
  Speaker 5: I could try and move a cat spirit out of
• 7:38
  Speaker 5: the way.
• 7:42
  Speaker 2: I look at the gorilla guys.
• 7:44
  Speaker 10: What we're like, Tim and Alice anyway?
• 7:59
  Speaker 2: Yeah?
• 8:00
  Speaker 5: So yeah, with that information, I guess what the fantom
• 8:03
  Speaker 5: is gonna because I am quasi spirit y here, I've
• 8:08
  Speaker 5: got a decent spirit.
• 8:11
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 8:11
  Speaker 5: Can I try and see you if it's possible via
• 8:17
  Speaker 5: Arthur and the book to move.
• 8:21
  Speaker 2: A cat's soul, just the cat's soul.
• 8:25
  Speaker 5: Sure, the cat's hole, the cats you you know what
• 8:30
  Speaker 5: I'm saying.
• 8:30
  Speaker 3: Yeah, A roll a spirit check with whatever connects whatever
• 8:35
  Speaker 3: power you feel like connects you to the book of
• 8:37
  Speaker 3: the month.
• 8:37
  Speaker 5: Probably paper sense because it'st This is an epic check.
• 8:42
  Speaker 3: I'm rolling a D twenty. I got twelve.
• 8:47
  Speaker 2: I rolled fifteen. Diggity damn. Do you have any pips left?
• 8:52
  Speaker 6: Yeah? I got some pips.
• 8:54
  Speaker 2: I only need I need four pips.
• 8:56
  Speaker 6: I see the neural pathways in my friend's brain moving,
• 9:00
  Speaker 6: but they're getting stuck.
• 9:02
  Speaker 1: I help my friend have a brain blast.
• 9:05
  Speaker 5: Oh yeah, the camera goes into my ear and you
• 9:07
  Speaker 5: see all the neurons explode.
• 9:10
  Speaker 6: Here's the question, GD can I give from two separate
• 9:16
  Speaker 6: support pools because I would need to drain both to
• 9:20
  Speaker 6: get you four to surpass and kick ass?
• 9:24
  Speaker 2: What a question?
• 9:25
  Speaker 3: If you have multiple support pools, any support pool is
• 9:28
  Speaker 3: available to you to give picks.
• 9:30
  Speaker 1: I will give the rest of what I have. I'll
• 9:32
  Speaker 1: give four.
• 9:33
  Speaker 3: But I think what are your both of your You
• 9:36
  Speaker 3: have two support.
• 9:37
  Speaker 6: Pools, yes, control electricity and lightning reflexes.
• 9:41
  Speaker 3: Okay, so I think you kind of explained how control
• 9:43
  Speaker 3: electricity would help. Yes, but how would your lightning reflexes help.
• 9:47
  Speaker 2: I gotta know how you're using that to help.
• 9:51
  Speaker 6: My flower laden scarf whips out lightning fasts and wraps
• 9:55
  Speaker 6: around his neck.
• 9:59
  Speaker 11: I think I could do it, Jason, cat, get it
• 10:05
  Speaker 11: done as you dig deep within the book in your.
• 10:10
  Speaker 2: Chest, Jason, I'm in here.
• 10:13
  Speaker 3: You here, Arthur, but you hear Arthur, and Jason can decide,
• 10:23
  Speaker 3: and Ethan can decide here for Jason, if you can
• 10:26
  Speaker 3: tell the difference here, but you hear Arthur say.
• 10:30
  Speaker 5: I would like a cat friend take off some of
• 10:34
  Speaker 5: the load. Hell yeah, there was a dog in there before.
• 10:37
  Speaker 5: Let's let's get let's get a cat's sole in there
• 10:40
  Speaker 5: for you, buddy, a cat'sule, a cat's hole.
• 10:43
  Speaker 2: It gets lonely in here.
• 10:44
  Speaker 3: Send me a pet.
• 10:45
  Speaker 5: I'm doing this for you, Arthur. And also the larger
• 10:49
  Speaker 5: situation in general.
• 10:51
  Speaker 6: You got it?
• 10:52
  Speaker 2: I get Are you okay?
• 10:54
  Speaker 3: Using magic or spirit you can push this cat's soul
• 10:58
  Speaker 3: into the paper space that is the gate between the
• 11:04
  Speaker 3: void and the real that is this book. Hell yeah,
• 11:09
  Speaker 3: so you would need three successful spirit checks and telling
• 11:15
  Speaker 3: me how your powers might accomplish that before doctor Moreau
• 11:20
  Speaker 3: gets three successful knowledge checks.
• 11:23
  Speaker 2: In completing this.
• 11:25
  Speaker 3: Evil guy, Rachel, you have like your free action here
• 11:31
  Speaker 3: to accomplish something if you want.
• 11:33
  Speaker 2: Let's fucking go. Rachel is gonna use a charge.
• 11:37
  Speaker 4: Up and I'm gonna juice up one of my fists.
• 11:42
  Speaker 4: Getting ready to start punching gorillas.
• 11:45
  Speaker 3: Sounds good, and we begin. It is Reginald's turn. Reginald
• 11:54
  Speaker 3: is the gorilla with the gorilla head and the gorilla legs.
• 12:04
  Speaker 5: Before they got fused with their names Reginald and Spencer. Yes, okay,
• 12:08
  Speaker 5: so now their names aren't like Register and Spencer.
• 12:13
  Speaker 6: They got that.
• 12:16
  Speaker 2: World that's fixed you. I made them correct.
• 12:27
  Speaker 3: Reginald comes up to you Rachel as you charge up,
• 12:30
  Speaker 3: and he wraps his legs around your neck and tries
• 12:34
  Speaker 3: to do a.
• 12:35
  Speaker 2: Gorilla leg takedown of you.
• 12:38
  Speaker 3: So black widows, black widow style.

  Speaker 3: kind of knock the gorilla legs away from your neck.
• 13:08
  Speaker 2: Quanta your turn. Okay.
• 13:11
  Speaker 6: I think I'm going to assist Rigel and I had
• 13:14
  Speaker 6: moved back towards the tanks.
• 13:17
  Speaker 1: How many l's away am I from?
• 13:20
  Speaker 2: So if you would like to be a single l away,
• 13:23
  Speaker 2: that's fine, a single okay.
• 13:24
  Speaker 6: I will attack with my lightning whip. As the legs
• 13:28
  Speaker 6: get batted away, I just walk reach out to with
• 13:32
  Speaker 6: those legs.
• 13:33
  Speaker 3: Eight eight damage. Yes, Reginald rezeals for six. You do
• 13:39
  Speaker 3: two damage.
• 13:40
  Speaker 2: Pretty tough.
• 13:42
  Speaker 3: You live.
• 13:43
  Speaker 2: It's Spencer's turn.
• 13:44
  Speaker 3: Spencer comes up to your mirr and with human legs
• 13:48

  Speaker 2: I weary this.
• 14:02
  Speaker 3: I rolled it two again. Two damage coming to you, Jamir,
• 14:06

• 14:16
  Speaker 5: I'm gonna use my my trench cloak, trench coat, trench cloak,
• 14:21
  Speaker 5: trench coke. I'm just gonna use the paper that I've
• 14:23
  Speaker 5: got on my body. I'm gonna wrap it, uh coke,
• 14:26
  Speaker 5: my trench cokes and wrap a bunch of my paper
• 14:29
  Speaker 5: around the tube and from from within it just like
• 14:35
  Speaker 5: trying to be a guy at the bottom of a tree, being.
• 14:38
  Speaker 2: Like here could.
• 14:41
  Speaker 6: Tree.
• 14:42
  Speaker 1: That was the prophecy.
• 14:44
  Speaker 2: So yeah, I'm gonna try and spirit this cat into
• 14:46
  Speaker 2: the book.
• 14:47
  Speaker 6: Quanta sheds tears. We did need a.
• 14:50
  Speaker 3: Tree roll a spirit check. The first check is a
• 14:55
  Speaker 3: godly check. So this is a D four and costs
• 15:00
  Speaker 3: an energy Jesus Christ superstar. I rolled one on my
• 15:06
  Speaker 3: D four and on my D twenty I rolled a five.
• 15:11
  Speaker 2: I got a fourteen.
• 15:12
  Speaker 6: Geez that easy for the Phantom. Easy Pady Coke skills.
• 15:20
  Speaker 3: The paper is around the tank. Through it you can
• 15:25
  Speaker 3: see everything. You can see they're fusing bodies. You can
• 15:29
  Speaker 3: see through the paper realm. You can see the spirit
• 15:34
  Speaker 3: of the cat, the front range spirit, Decay, and the
• 15:38
  Speaker 3: boy's spirit, all wrestling for this space and becoming a
• 15:47
  Speaker 3: third thing that will not be what this being needs
• 15:53
  Speaker 3: to be for the city. You whisper to the cat,
• 15:57
  Speaker 3: and you get its attention. You whistle at it here
• 16:00
  Speaker 3: kitty kitty hissing, and the cat spirit perks its ears,
• 16:07
  Speaker 3: turns its head to you and begins to come.
• 16:10
  Speaker 2: Oh no, this is a fun combat.
• 16:14
  Speaker 3: So sweet, right, Joe, your turn, let's go.
• 16:19
  Speaker 2: I'm gonna just try to punch.
• 16:22
  Speaker 4: The man chest gorilla in the chest.
• 16:28
  Speaker 3: I'm trying to punch man flesh that is Reginald.
• 16:32
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I'm not gonna do anything special to this. It's
• 16:35
  Speaker 4: just gonna be a good old fashioned punchy punchy that's
• 16:41
  Speaker 4: with precision and charged up. That is only seven damage,
• 16:47
  Speaker 4: a little disappointing.
• 16:48
  Speaker 3: Reginald reseals for three, so he takes four of that. Okay,
• 16:53
  Speaker 3: Reginald gets punched in the chest man chest gorilla head.
• 17:00
  Speaker 2: This feels weird. He looks. Just punch him right in
• 17:04
  Speaker 2: the between the nips. Gorilla eyes are so human. He
• 17:09
  Speaker 2: looks up at you and he don't look at me
• 17:12
  Speaker 2: like that.
• 17:13
  Speaker 3: He speaks, Oh oh you talk?
• 17:17
  Speaker 4: Yeah, fuck dude, why.
• 17:21
  Speaker 2: Are you working for this animal? He's abducting children?
• 17:24
  Speaker 5: What he called He called the guy the doctor an
• 17:28
  Speaker 5: animal because he's like, I fucked.
• 17:30
  Speaker 2: I understand why. I think you're confused.
• 17:32
  Speaker 3: But huh no, do you not know that the doctor
• 17:35
  Speaker 3: you work for is a bad guy?
• 17:38
  Speaker 2: Said?
• 17:38
  Speaker 3: He give me powers? Gave me powers. Oh so you're
• 17:40
  Speaker 3: just a piece of shit gorilla or man, you're just
• 17:45
  Speaker 3: a bad guy. I think it's weird that even though
• 17:49
  Speaker 3: I have the gorilla head, I got the voice, but
• 17:51
  Speaker 3: he Spencer didn't get the voice.
• 17:54
  Speaker 2: Oh that guy can't clock. Spencer looks over all human head,
• 18:00
  Speaker 2: gorilla voice comes out that that's human speech.
• 18:06
  Speaker 3: Every Doctor Moreau goes over to the tanks panel and
• 18:12
  Speaker 3: begins to do his science.
• 18:16
  Speaker 2: He rolls a knowledge check.
• 18:18
  Speaker 3: Would someone roll a challenging check for me? So that's
• 18:22
  Speaker 3: a D ten and it'll be against doctor Moreau's knowledge.
• 18:25
  Speaker 2: Got you a.
• 18:28
  Speaker 6: Very good.
• 18:31
  Speaker 2: Doctor?
• 18:31
  Speaker 3: Moreau rolls only a D twelve for his knowledge. That's
• 18:34
  Speaker 3: all right, where he's a smart guy.
• 18:38
  Speaker 2: He is. I mean, and you guys know.
• 18:43
  Speaker 7: If you tie you you cry, you cry.
• 18:47
  Speaker 5: It's usually us that's crying, but you tie, so this
• 18:50
  Speaker 5: time I have to cry. As you really looking for papers,
• 18:56
  Speaker 5: like shuffling around paper.
• 18:58
  Speaker 3: Yeah, exactly, Reginald. Oh that's me. Phase two, back up
• 19:05
  Speaker 3: to the top. It's Reginald's turn. You've been talking with him, Ragel.
• 19:10
  Speaker 1: The coupling would be Reginald.
• 19:13
  Speaker 5: Yeah, if you started dating this gorilla. Sorry, yeah, what's
• 19:18
  Speaker 5: the what are the what are the very human eyes
• 19:20
  Speaker 5: of the gorilla?
• 19:21

• 19:25
  Speaker 1: Love in the stars.
• 19:28
  Speaker 4: Yeah, are you're you're an asshole?
• 19:31
  Speaker 2: If he is Shahan, you're working for a child of doctor.
• 19:36
  Speaker 2: Think about that. I don't know.
• 19:38
  Speaker 3: I think so. I don't know about that. I don't
• 19:40
  Speaker 3: think so. Look in the tubes around you. My gorilla man,
• 19:46
  Speaker 3: he is going to use his utility to charge up.
• 19:50
  Speaker 2: How does he charge.
• 19:55
  Speaker 3: He just starts rolling his shoulders forward, reving up his
• 19:59
  Speaker 3: human arms. Okay, so that he can do a handstand
• 20:02
  Speaker 3: and put his legs around your neck again.
• 20:04
  Speaker 2: Black widow style, Black widow style. Quantity. Your turn.
• 20:08
  Speaker 6: I will bring my lightning weight back and start charging
• 20:14
  Speaker 6: it up.
• 20:15
  Speaker 3: It's Spencer's turn. Spencer cannot speak. He is also going
• 20:20
  Speaker 3: to charge up, but he charges up his gorilla legs
• 20:23
  Speaker 3: by just hopping and bouncing a little.
• 20:25
  Speaker 5: Bit yup, classic paper phantom. All right, I'm gonna try
• 20:31
  Speaker 5: and try and spirit this kiddie again. I'm gonna spend
• 20:34
  Speaker 5: an energy to utility, and this time I'm gonna manifest
• 20:39
  Speaker 5: in the spirit realm, in the paper dimension. Arthur just
• 20:42
  Speaker 5: sitting on a big comfy chair, just a lap, warm
• 20:46
  Speaker 5: and waiting, old man lap, Just an old man's old
• 20:51
  Speaker 5: man's lap on a big old lazy boy.
• 20:53
  Speaker 3: This is an epic check. So I'm rolling just the
• 20:55
  Speaker 3: D twenty now I rolled twelve.
• 20:58
  Speaker 2: I got a laughing.
• 21:00
  Speaker 3: The kitty spirit doesn't quite float over to the warm
• 21:04
  Speaker 3: lap of Arthur.
• 21:06
  Speaker 5: Right, Arthur, you gotta want it less, act more aloof.
• 21:10
  Speaker 5: They want to sit on people that don't. They don't watch. Okay,
• 21:14
  Speaker 5: I don't fuck you, cat, I don't know.
• 21:17
  Speaker 4: Oh, Rigel, your turn, all right, Rigel, Seeing that I'm
• 21:23
  Speaker 4: that these guys are pretty tough, I haven't, I'm gonna
• 21:28
  Speaker 4: steal up. I'm gonna brace myself for if these guys
• 21:34
  Speaker 4: are gonna schmack at me.
• 21:37
  Speaker 3: Rigel, U flex your now back to one hundred and
• 21:39
  Speaker 3: fifty percent ripped body, and doctor Moreau takes another utility
• 21:44
  Speaker 3: here at his science station. This time you gotta beat
• 21:50
  Speaker 3: five who rolling his D twelve knowledge rolled to twelve,
• 21:55
  Speaker 3: So he does succeed once.
• 21:57
  Speaker 1: And can I react to halt?
• 21:59
  Speaker 6: You may a? Will that discount my charge up?
• 22:03
  Speaker 2: Yes?
• 22:03
  Speaker 6: Worth it actually.
• 22:05
  Speaker 2: Don't because I can, I don't. I'm not gonna need
• 22:09
  Speaker 2: my reaction here. Yeah, I'll use I think.
• 22:12
  Speaker 6: Okay, but your third phase is helpful to have to
• 22:15
  Speaker 6: keep keep.
• 22:16
  Speaker 5: Seeing well, but I do have to then spend a
• 22:19
  Speaker 5: bunch of energy to do it a third time. True,
• 22:23
  Speaker 5: So alight, I think it's better to use it this way,
• 22:25
  Speaker 5: and then you get to stay safe your charge.
• 22:27
  Speaker 2: All right.
• 22:27
  Speaker 1: I start reaching for doctor Moreau's brain.
• 22:30
  Speaker 3: But then you see the phantom little paper like trip wire,
• 22:36
  Speaker 3: just like a line across the floor.
• 22:39
  Speaker 2: Yeah, a piece of paper twine.
• 22:43
  Speaker 3: So you have to beat his twelve okay, and I'll
• 22:47
  Speaker 3: ask for we would lose a ready check plus whatever
• 22:51
  Speaker 3: power you're using paper manipulation.
• 22:55
  Speaker 2: That was just a six.
• 22:56
  Speaker 6: Sorry.
• 22:58
  Speaker 3: He succeeds anywhere as the little paper trip wire, he
• 23:02
  Speaker 3: just moves it over, continues to punch in buttons and
• 23:06
  Speaker 3: shuffle with papers, and this spirit of the cat moves
• 23:10
  Speaker 3: back towards the amalgamation chaos that is this fusion one
• 23:15
  Speaker 3: to one baby back up to the top.
• 23:19
  Speaker 2: It's Reginald.
• 23:20
  Speaker 3: He's gonna use his empowered attack and some energy to
• 23:25
  Speaker 3: swing his legs up around Rigel again and finally try
• 23:28
  Speaker 3: to take him down.
• 23:31
  Speaker 2: Good luck.
• 23:32
  Speaker 3: Oh my god, I rolled a one that's plus three
• 23:34
  Speaker 3: with the charge up four damage RYJELM I.
• 23:38
  Speaker 2: Get oo to add two?
• 23:41
  Speaker 4: Would because I stealed up to my resilience role which
• 23:46
  Speaker 4: is two, So that's four.
• 23:48
  Speaker 2: I reseal four no damage, very good quantity. You're told damage, all.
• 23:53
  Speaker 6: Right, I uh had pulled my wip back in correct
• 23:56
  Speaker 6: it watch your web watch me let me and I will.
• 24:03
  Speaker 6: I like Rachel's cut Reginald in hand, so I'm gonna
• 24:07
  Speaker 6: whip at Spence. Sure four plus one is five plus
• 24:11
  Speaker 6: two seven, and I will spend the energy to attack
• 24:14
  Speaker 6: again this round.
• 24:15
  Speaker 3: Oh seven, Spencer's just gonna reseal brazeals for five only
• 24:20
  Speaker 3: takes two of that damage. Tough boys, paper Phantom, I
• 24:24
  Speaker 3: reacted Rigel.
• 24:25
  Speaker 4: Rigel is gonna attack one more time, burning an energy point.
• 24:30
  Speaker 2: Sounds good?
• 24:30
  Speaker 4: Fuck it we ball, and I'm just gonna try to
• 24:34
  Speaker 4: I'm gonna punch the other one because no one's punched
• 24:36
  Speaker 4: the other one.
• 24:36
  Speaker 2: I think Quanta just attack Spencer.
• 24:41
  Speaker 4: I have done much dam Okay, I'll just keep punching
• 24:43
  Speaker 4: the guy that's trying to leg me from close up.
• 24:48
  Speaker 2: Okay, it's five damage. Nice.
• 24:50
  Speaker 3: Reginald is just gonna reseal because he has no more
• 24:53
  Speaker 3: actions left. Ooh, rezealed for five damn, no damage. Your
• 25:00
  Speaker 3: fist slams into his hard gorilla meat.
• 25:05
  Speaker 5: I'm rubber your gorilla glue whatever, something something about stuff.
• 25:09
  Speaker 2: Of no, no, no, nailed it.
• 25:12
  Speaker 3: Got it, gorilla glue, Doctor Moreau.
• 25:19
  Speaker 2: It's his turn.
• 25:20
  Speaker 3: He doesn't have like, he's just a human, so he
• 25:23
  Speaker 3: doesn't have a ton of energy. So he's so he's just.
• 25:27
  Speaker 1: Only a human.
• 25:28
  Speaker 3: Yeah, he's only a human. Got So he's lying naked

• 25:40
  Speaker 3: that the same song? Or now? Okay? Uh, it was
• 25:44
  Speaker 3: the same You guys know a lot of songs. This
• 25:49
  Speaker 3: is a recurrent theme. Narratively, he's still like working on
• 25:53
  Speaker 3: the science here, but he can't like put he can't
• 25:56
  Speaker 3: take an action here. He's and it's a utility action
• 25:59
  Speaker 3: for him. So he's not charging up or anything. But
• 26:01
  Speaker 3: he's still working on science. But there's no role here.
• 26:04
  Speaker 1: So what action is he taking?
• 26:06
  Speaker 2: He's not. Oh, he's just can't take an next. Yeah,
• 26:09
  Speaker 2: it's just like a pass. He's just a human.
• 26:10
  Speaker 1: He's just passing.
• 26:11
  Speaker 2: He's only human and he lying naked on the floor.
• 26:15
  Speaker 2: That's the end of round one.
• 26:16
  Speaker 3: We're moving back up to the top for a round two.
• 26:20
  Speaker 3: Everything resets, let's go. It's Reginald's turn.
• 26:25
  Speaker 2: Rigel.
• 26:26
  Speaker 3: He looks at you after you hit him in the chest,
• 26:30
  Speaker 3: and with his gorilla mouth and beautiful gorilla eyes, he
• 26:34
  Speaker 3: just says.
• 26:35
  Speaker 2: You're you're really strong. Honestly, so are you, dude? Yeah,
• 26:39
  Speaker 2: we're strong. I'm like you. You're like me. We're strong. No,
• 26:44
  Speaker 2: I don't work for a monster. I don't. I don't
• 26:47
  Speaker 2: think I worked for a monster.
• 26:49
  Speaker 4: That guy over there in the very comfortable looking loafers
• 26:53
  Speaker 4: is this devil himself?
• 26:55
  Speaker 2: Man?
• 26:56
  Speaker 3: Well, he gave me powers. Look, I'm so strong. That
• 26:59
  Speaker 3: doesn't make him a good guy. Oh my god, is
• 27:02

  Speaker 3: Hell yeah, Reginald says fun, and he puts his arms
• 27:35
  Speaker 3: on the ground and then just launches his legs right
• 27:38
  Speaker 3: into your chest to try to kick you. Ten damage
• 27:41
  Speaker 3: coming to your rage. Ragel's pride is gonna get the
• 27:45
  Speaker 3: best of him. And I'm gonna use the reaction. I'm
• 27:49
  Speaker 3: gonna defend.
• 27:51
  Speaker 4: Because I don't I don't want to take all that.
• 27:54
  Speaker 4: I reseal for six with the reaction.
• 27:58
  Speaker 2: Nice.
• 27:59
  Speaker 3: Oh sorry, So I'm gonna do you defend four? I
• 28:01
  Speaker 3: defend it for four, okay, and then you reseal for two. Yeah,
• 28:05
  Speaker 3: so you only take total that damage. As to gorilla hand,
• 28:10
  Speaker 3: you know how their feet are hands. You guys know
• 28:11
  Speaker 3: how gorilla kind of have hand feet. You can't keep
• 28:14
  Speaker 3: they slam into your chest and you have to take
• 28:18
  Speaker 3: a step back.
• 28:19
  Speaker 2: Powerful Quanta your turn, all right?
• 28:22
  Speaker 6: You have to seeing that tete a tet and you know,
• 28:25
  Speaker 6: you feel like Rigel's holding his own over there.
• 28:27
  Speaker 2: I got this.
• 28:29
  Speaker 1: How many l's away is Doctor Moreau from me?
• 28:33
  Speaker 3: He's within your ause. So you're back towards the tanks.
• 28:35
  Speaker 3: All the tanks are just within one al in a circle.
• 28:38
  Speaker 6: I would like to use control electricity to give him
• 28:41
  Speaker 6: a little give him some pause by shutting down. I
• 28:46
  Speaker 6: would like to and I would like to try to
• 28:48
  Speaker 6: power block with this. So I'm going to Yes, I
• 28:52
  Speaker 6: still have the energy, so I'm going to spend the energy.
• 28:54
  Speaker 6: Ooh too, all right, So I'm going to spend the
• 28:55
  Speaker 6: two energy to try to power block to leave his
• 29:00
  Speaker 6: hands useless.
• 29:01
  Speaker 1: To him for now.
• 29:02
  Speaker 6: Okay, so he can't push those buttons anymore.
• 29:05
  Speaker 3: Yeah, cool, cool beans, Go ahead and roll your damage.
• 29:09
  Speaker 1: Right, I'm close up, so I'm rolling with precision.
• 29:13
  Speaker 2: That's five five damage.
• 29:15
  Speaker 6: Four excuse me, I only have one permanent bonus.
• 29:18
  Speaker 2: Four four damage.
• 29:19
  Speaker 3: He is working on this fusion and he doesn't defend.
• 29:26
  Speaker 2: He wouldn't know how. He's a normal doctor human.
• 29:29
  Speaker 3: He only reseals reseals for two, so he takes two
• 29:32
  Speaker 3: of that damage.
• 29:33
  Speaker 6: Okay, but no power block. I had to do three.
• 29:35
  Speaker 2: No power block out? Stop it, you stop it? No,
• 29:43
  Speaker 2: I am I am godlike. Look at what's happening. Look
• 29:46
  Speaker 2: at what has happened.
• 29:48
  Speaker 1: Oh, I've been there.
• 29:49
  Speaker 2: There's God in you too, just in me.
• 29:52
  Speaker 1: I'm afraid.
• 29:56
  Speaker 3: Why are we doing it? Why are you you're not with us.
• 30:04
  Speaker 3: Spencer's turn. Spencer has a charged up attack with which
• 30:07
  Speaker 3: he is going to lift up his gorilla hands and
• 30:11
  Speaker 3: try to smash it down on Rachel's head. Come on,
• 30:15
  Speaker 3: four damage coming to you, rye Gel, all.
• 30:18
  Speaker 2: Right, we win these. I just need to create shit.
• 30:23
  Speaker 2: I got it.
• 30:24
  Speaker 3: I rolled it one, so you take all four of
• 30:26
  Speaker 3: that damage. Rigel, just eating these, the damage from these gorillas,
• 30:32
  Speaker 3: ow paper phantom. Youre turn, give me the kitty, gimme,
• 30:36
  Speaker 3: gim me, give me all right, we're on epic check.
• 30:41
  Speaker 3: So this is a D twenty horny little freak eleven.
• 30:45
  Speaker 2: I rolled an eight.
• 30:46
  Speaker 3: Yay When what happens this time?

  Speaker 5: Arthur Uh just like cracks a paper beer, sitting in
• 30:56
  Speaker 5: a paper chair like looks around, doesn't give a fuck.
• 31:00
  Speaker 2: Just so warm and toasty on my lap.
• 31:04
  Speaker 5: Oh you know I sold people, just so soft and cushy.
• 31:09
  Speaker 3: The kitten spirit comes up, jumps hops onto the bench
• 31:14
  Speaker 3: next to Arthur.
• 31:17
  Speaker 2: Rigel, you're up, all right, Righter's gonna try this one
• 31:20
  Speaker 2: more time. I'm gonna charge up my other fist.
• 31:24
  Speaker 3: You charge up, Doctor Moreau attempting again here with fresh
• 31:30
  Speaker 3: actions to get this fusion to happen if you would
• 31:33
  Speaker 3: roll that D ten challenging.
• 31:37
  Speaker 2: Check another ten, motherfucker. I rolled it two.
• 31:44
  Speaker 3: Die feeling the lightning from quantas still bolting through him,
• 31:49
  Speaker 3: his hair standing up, can't.
• 31:51
  Speaker 2: Focus back up to the top.
• 31:54
  Speaker 3: Reginald is going to charge up to keep battling with
• 31:58
  Speaker 3: ragel Quanti.
• 32:00
  Speaker 6: I will also charge up. I will charge up my
• 32:04
  Speaker 6: control electricity. So as I already zapped his brain, I
• 32:08
  Speaker 6: get a little like jolt, like a brighter picture of
• 32:12
  Speaker 6: his brain and the connections as I do that, So
• 32:15
  Speaker 6: that charges up my ability to hit him again.
• 32:18
  Speaker 1: And hit him harder.
• 32:19
  Speaker 2: Noise because I can see the map.
• 32:22
  Speaker 6: Okay, so I take the blue line all the way north. Nice,
• 32:29
  Speaker 6: get off that o' hair, fly to Colorado.
• 32:34
  Speaker 2: It's Spencer's turn.
• 32:36
  Speaker 3: Spencer is the one with gorilla arms, right, Spencer, yea.
• 32:41
  Speaker 1: I have a drawing here.
• 32:43
  Speaker 6: Spencer is a lot of gorilla Spencer.
• 32:45
  Speaker 3: Reginald is gorilla head and gorilla legs. Yeah, Spencer does
• 32:51
  Speaker 3: a strange thing. He puts his real gorilla arms on
• 32:54
  Speaker 3: the ground and his human legs are like floating off
• 32:59
  Speaker 3: the ground a little bit, and he begins to run
• 33:01
  Speaker 3: in place.
• 33:03
  Speaker 1: With his with his arms.
• 33:04
  Speaker 3: His arms are on the ground, his legs are running
• 33:09
  Speaker 3: in the air.
• 33:09
  Speaker 1: Oh, he's like some bicycle kicks kind of Yeah, all right,
• 33:14
  Speaker 1: that is fucker.
• 33:15
  Speaker 2: Yeah, have been double doing rio no, no.
• 33:20
  Speaker 1: I peek over my fence again.
• 33:21
  Speaker 2: But just my eyes. Let's let's do it. Give me
• 33:24
  Speaker 2: this cat.
• 33:24
  Speaker 3: Bro Okay, this is a difficult check now, so it's
• 33:28
  Speaker 3: only a D twelve.
• 33:29
  Speaker 5: You gotta beat yeah, fourteen.
• 33:35
  Speaker 2: I rolled a one yes noise. Yeah.
• 33:39
  Speaker 5: At this point in the paper dimension, the cats like
• 33:42
  Speaker 5: sitting on earth there you can just see like outside
• 33:45
  Speaker 5: of the tank. The paper that's been wrapped around is
• 33:48
  Speaker 5: now just like a dangly paper cat toy. Then I'm like,
• 33:54
  Speaker 5: get it, and uh yeah, presumably the cat's just gonna
• 33:58
  Speaker 5: leap out of the tank, across the paper and into
• 34:02
  Speaker 5: the book.
• 34:02
  Speaker 2: Unless what is that how it happens.
• 34:05
  Speaker 3: The spirit of the cat, the cat itself remains.
• 34:09
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I don't want the body exactly.
• 34:12
  Speaker 3: The spirit of the cat jumps into the realm of
• 34:15
  Speaker 3: the paper, and the paper folds back in on itself,
• 34:19
  Speaker 3: and Arthur has company.
• 34:25
  Speaker 6: That's so great, so great.
• 34:28
  Speaker 3: As the paper folds off of the tank, you see
• 34:30
  Speaker 3: that the fusion is nearly complete between the boy king
• 34:35
  Speaker 3: and the body of his cat. And now you believe
• 34:39
  Speaker 3: the soul will remain intact.
• 34:41
  Speaker 6: Win when you did it?
• 34:45
  Speaker 2: Yeah? I think so. I fold up at what did
• 34:49
  Speaker 2: you do? Can we can we hurt this doctor now?
• 34:53
  Speaker 2: It will?
• 34:54
  Speaker 6: We have to let him finish the actual fusion.
• 34:57
  Speaker 2: Yes, let me finish.
• 34:58
  Speaker 6: Yeah, go ahead.
• 35:00
  Speaker 2: Yeah, you're not gonna You're not gonna get to see
• 35:02
  Speaker 2: it though. Huh see what fusion? Why? Because we're gonna
• 35:08
  Speaker 2: punch you in the face now, ra Joel, you're up.
• 35:13
  Speaker 4: I charged up this punch and it's coming toward one
• 35:16
  Speaker 4: gorilla legged freak. I am going to use an energy
• 35:20
  Speaker 4: point from my magic blast as I punch this guy.
• 35:26
  Speaker 2: And I'm gonna use.
• 35:30
  Speaker 4: My twice daily ability to pick which magic I'm chunneling.
• 35:35
  Speaker 4: And I am going to use Sonic exactly. I'm gonna
• 35:39
  Speaker 4: use my sonic stun punch, so you guys hear weird
• 35:45
  Speaker 4: as I punched this gorilla in the gorilla a head.
• 35:51
  Speaker 2: Come on high numbers this time?
• 35:53
  Speaker 4: Dice oh your damage and then the charge up?
• 35:58
  Speaker 2: Okay, okay, okay twelve El.
• 36:03
  Speaker 3: Jush I rolled a two on his resilience, which turns
• 36:09
  Speaker 3: into like a one. He is going to try to defend.
• 36:15
  Speaker 3: I rolled a one on his defense.
• 36:18
  Speaker 2: Enjoy that. Enjoy that reaction being spent beast Sonic blast.
• 36:27
  Speaker 3: As you and this gorilla man have had a little
• 36:30
  Speaker 3: conversation and a punchback.
• 36:32
  Speaker 2: And forth, how does Rigel knock this guy out?
• 36:35
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I'm just gonna conk him on the head with
• 36:38
  Speaker 4: my sonic feast, just like like a cartoon style like, Yes,
• 36:45
  Speaker 4: I'm just hammering it on top of the head.
• 36:49
  Speaker 2: Yes.
• 36:49
  Speaker 3: The sonic waves cone around him and slam him a
• 36:53
  Speaker 3: little bit into the ground, and Reginald says, says oh
• 36:59
  Speaker 3: and passes out.
• 37:01
  Speaker 5: With all of his human knowledge, he says.
• 37:07
  Speaker 3: Doctor Morrow says, Spencer, get me out of here. Spencer
• 37:11
  Speaker 3: is the one revving up.
• 37:12
  Speaker 2: He's running legs up. I should have should have you know,
• 37:18
  Speaker 2: Quanta your turn now.
• 37:19
  Speaker 6: Seeing that uh peep has accomplished his goal, we need
• 37:24
  Speaker 6: Doctor Morrow to finish what he's doing. Actually, I would
• 37:27
  Speaker 6: like to turn my control electricity attack upon Spencer too,
• 37:34
  Speaker 6: and I will try to use power block to keep his.
• 37:37
  Speaker 2: Legs block speed. Yeah, longest speed.
• 37:40
  Speaker 1: He's not with him the l right, he is not.
• 37:43
  Speaker 2: I will the ns that's four Oh my.
• 37:46
  Speaker 3: God, I will have rolled like three ones in the
• 37:49
  Speaker 3: past four or five roles or whatever.
• 37:52
  Speaker 2: That's a one. So he reseals for zero.
• 37:54
  Speaker 6: Wow, all right, so I block it. He's taking I
• 37:58
  Speaker 6: mean nothing unless nothing.
• 38:00
  Speaker 3: No, he's focused on trying to get his boss out
• 38:02
  Speaker 3: of here. He rolls a one. He takes all of
• 38:06
  Speaker 3: this damage. So his legs that are like running in
• 38:10
  Speaker 3: the air, just like start slowing down from your electricity
• 38:13
  Speaker 3: and stop.
• 38:14
  Speaker 6: He's just now that's what I call home improvement. And
• 38:19
  Speaker 6: I tossed my scarf over my shoulders with these, and
• 38:24
  Speaker 6: I do get a little tired because I did have
• 38:26
  Speaker 6: to take an energy from resilience because I was out.
• 38:29
  Speaker 2: Patrol electricity paper.
• 38:30
  Speaker 5: Phantom is what Quanta said. True, does doctor moroone need
• 38:34
  Speaker 5: to be conscious for this fusion to complete?
• 38:39
  Speaker 3: What he was trying to do was excel the process,
• 38:43
  Speaker 3: so he doesn't need to see this. It will complete
• 38:46
  Speaker 3: in time without him.
• 38:48
  Speaker 2: Okay, great, cool.
• 38:50
  Speaker 5: Yeah, I'm gonna take all my paper off of the tube,
• 38:54
  Speaker 5: turn it into a giant paper fan and slap this man. Yeah,
• 39:00
  Speaker 5: super smash Bro's style.
• 39:02
  Speaker 2: It's an eight.
• 39:03
  Speaker 3: He rolls oh plus one. He rolls two for his resilience.
• 39:07
  Speaker 3: So you do seven damage. He's knocked out.
• 39:10
  Speaker 2: God in me will complete you knock him over. You
• 39:15
  Speaker 2: could say I'm not a fan. Yeah, toss your scarf.
• 39:21
  Speaker 2: I understood.
• 39:21
  Speaker 5: Toss my scarf. Twist I twist my big Carmen san
• 39:25
  Speaker 5: Diego hat.
• 39:28
  Speaker 3: Doctor Moreau as he goes down, that's pretty good. So
• 39:33
  Speaker 3: with the speed taken away from Spencer, and as he's
• 39:37
  Speaker 3: not the most intelligent being, and with Doctor Moreau and
• 39:42
  Speaker 3: Reginald out combat ends, Spencer kind of just sits cross.
• 39:50
  Speaker 1: Legged, don't, don't, don't, don't, don't, put.
• 39:53
  Speaker 3: His feet on the ground and folds his gorilla arms.
• 39:58
  Speaker 6: Now we wait eat. I look over nervously at the tube,
• 40:05
  Speaker 6: the tank of this process happening.
• 40:10
  Speaker 5: Yeah, can I understand any of the science that's on
• 40:12
  Speaker 5: the computer or the pieces of paper, all the research
• 40:15
  Speaker 5: that's around. Do we know if there's anything we need
• 40:17
  Speaker 5: to do to like drain this or like finish up
• 40:20
  Speaker 5: roll on knowledge check.
• 40:21
  Speaker 3: I'm gonna add paper cents to it. Give me all
• 40:24
  Speaker 3: these lab notes. This is an epic check. I'm rolling
• 40:27
  Speaker 3: in D twenty. I rolled ten.
• 40:29
  Speaker 2: I got an eat.
• 40:31
  Speaker 3: This isn't your area of expertise. You're a literary literature
• 40:35
  Speaker 3: bug bug. You're yeah, sure, a little bug bug worm?
• 40:42
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I like lit bug bugre's it bug like a firefly?
• 40:46
  Speaker 2: A little lit bug. Well, we should just wait for
• 40:50
  Speaker 2: it to happen. I guess yeah.
• 40:52
  Speaker 5: In the meantime, I fold up a little paper kiddy
• 40:57
  Speaker 5: with the spirit of the cabinet to walk around.
• 40:59
  Speaker 2: It's a little kitty.
• 41:01
  Speaker 6: Is this is this him?
• 41:03
  Speaker 1: Did you figure out his name? I kneel down. I mean,
• 41:08
  Speaker 1: what would a paper cat like?
• 41:09
  Speaker 6: Uh? Crinkle, crinkle crinkle.
• 41:12
  Speaker 2: I think I'm just gonna call him a script.
• 41:14
  Speaker 5: Kitty, script kitty. Good kitty starts rubbing, rubbing up on
• 41:20
  Speaker 5: y'all's legs. Cat stuff.
• 41:21
  Speaker 6: Well, this might be one of the best sts to
• 41:23
  Speaker 6: a fight we've ever had.
• 41:26
  Speaker 3: Quantum roll a sense check or or a sense check
• 41:30
  Speaker 3: with your scan as you involuntarily push out your electric
• 41:36
  Speaker 3: sense six. This is a simple check. I'm rolling a
• 41:39
  Speaker 3: D six, roll the three.
• 41:42
  Speaker 2: There's a lot.
• 41:43
  Speaker 3: This is an enormous building. There's a lot of energy
• 41:46
  Speaker 3: pumped in to hear from the doctor Franken style style, Franken.
• 41:53
  Speaker 2: Franken style.
• 41:56
  Speaker 3: There's a lot of electricity funnel that in here. Opah
• 41:58
  Speaker 3: Franken style and ope, ope, but there's something you notice.
• 42:09
  Speaker 3: It is unlike anything you've ever felt. Wait, wait a second,
• 42:13
  Speaker 3: you're feeling something.
• 42:14
  Speaker 2: Yeah. Underneath one of the desks and a desk that
• 42:18
  Speaker 2: is not a mobile like a movable desk. It is
• 42:21
  Speaker 2: part of the wall.
• 42:23
  Speaker 6: Is this Is this a desk we came in with
• 42:24
  Speaker 6: all the greatest king receipts.
• 42:27
  Speaker 2: Yeah, one of the drawers.
• 42:28
  Speaker 6: Thereas something's in here.
• 42:29
  Speaker 3: Underneath that desk there is a port and on that
• 42:34
  Speaker 3: port sits a small cube about the size of a basketball,
• 42:39
  Speaker 3: but a cube. And you sense the function for movement,
• 42:46
  Speaker 3: even some low level of processing, but it has long
• 42:51
  Speaker 3: since lost its charge.
• 42:53
  Speaker 2: What is this is?
• 42:56
  Speaker 6: This is giving off a weird energy.
• 42:58
  Speaker 1: Either of you seen anything like this.
• 43:00
  Speaker 6: It's like a giant cube, like like the cubes my
• 43:03
  Speaker 6: parents have.
• 43:04
  Speaker 2: Have I seen anything like The energy is so different.
• 43:08
  Speaker 2: M No of you have seen anything like this? Yeah?
• 43:11
  Speaker 2: I don't know. But I mean, you like that ship,
• 43:14
  Speaker 2: you're the you're the Electric Lady.
• 43:17
  Speaker 6: You know.
• 43:18
  Speaker 1: Oh that's a good name.
• 43:20
  Speaker 2: That No, that's terrible. Sorry, that's that's more like disrespectful.
• 43:24
  Speaker 2: How bad that?
• 43:26
  Speaker 4: But all I'm saying is this is your domain you, starboy,
• 43:31
  Speaker 4: this is your domain, Quantas, So what do you feel.
• 43:35
  Speaker 6: I feel like I want to take this, but this
• 43:37
  Speaker 6: is a crime scene. Now we should get a lane
• 43:40
  Speaker 6: in her people up here stealing.
• 43:42
  Speaker 2: From a criminal that's in the shoot. We call that
• 43:45
  Speaker 2: a day's.
• 43:46
  Speaker 6: Work, and I am a day say, as I reached
• 43:50
  Speaker 6: the cube.
• 43:52
  Speaker 5: Joink that cube yas paper kind of unfolds away from
• 43:55
  Speaker 5: Jason's mouth. Yeah, I mean all of those as a
• 44:00
  Speaker 5: lot of the cops were like pretty corrupt, right, they
• 44:02
  Speaker 5: were working for the mayor. Like, you don't know who
• 44:04
  Speaker 5: you can trust. If that's dangerous, I think you should
• 44:07
  Speaker 5: yoink it.
• 44:07
  Speaker 1: Yeah, Quanta gives into the justification machine.
• 44:11
  Speaker 3: As you reach out to this cube, you start to
• 44:13
  Speaker 3: send some of its functions and some of its ability
• 44:15
  Speaker 3: to process. You sense that it needs a little boost,
• 44:19
  Speaker 3: little energy, little electricity.
• 44:22
  Speaker 1: I wonder if I give a little juice.
• 44:26
  Speaker 3: Use zap it. And then all of a sudden, a
• 44:30
  Speaker 3: slat flips up. Oh, and you see two intanke sensors
• 44:37
  Speaker 3: that look like eyes, and you hear this small robot.
• 44:43
  Speaker 6: Go, what do I sense this happening? Now that I
• 44:57
  Speaker 6: gave it some juice.
• 44:58
  Speaker 3: It's a small little robot. It tries to move forward
• 45:01
  Speaker 3: off of its port, but then it lifts up a
• 45:06
  Speaker 3: little bit with tiny hydraulic treads Wally style. And you
• 45:13
  Speaker 3: see that it lifts up one of its treads and
• 45:17
  Speaker 3: it's not working.
• 45:20
  Speaker 6: Oh, I'm gonna take you home, Arthur gotta cut that.
• 45:23
  Speaker 6: I got a robot.
• 45:25
  Speaker 3: As it lifts up its little tread that's not working,
• 45:29
  Speaker 3: it goes.
• 45:32
  Speaker 4: I guess I'll carry this gorilla man to the police.
• 45:37
  Speaker 6: I've picked up all right. Do I sense that it
• 45:42
  Speaker 6: needs the port? No?
• 45:44
  Speaker 1: Like, do I need to unplug it from the wall.
• 45:46
  Speaker 3: It would need that to charge up on a regular.
• 45:50
  Speaker 1: It looks like you need this.
• 45:51
  Speaker 6: Do you have like a food and water bowl I
• 45:52
  Speaker 6: need to bring with me, or like to a leash somewhere?
• 45:55
  Speaker 6: The manuals anywhere there are any instructions on how to
• 45:59
  Speaker 6: take care of the robot?
• 46:00
  Speaker 1: For the robotstter?
• 46:03
  Speaker 3: Oh my god, does it seem like there's any instruction
• 46:06
  Speaker 3: manual cat.
• 46:07
  Speaker 2: Starts rubbing its face on the corner of the cube. Glad.
• 46:10
  Speaker 2: Everybody else is making friends.
• 46:13
  Speaker 1: What are you talking about?
• 46:14
  Speaker 6: You and Reginald?
• 46:15
  Speaker 5: No, Yeah, you've got Maria.
• 46:19
  Speaker 4: This man is a criminal. Maria is my employee friend
• 46:24
  Speaker 4: I'm just saying, we all have sidekicks, now, you know.
• 46:27
  Speaker 6: I gather up this this little immobile robot and it's
• 46:32
  Speaker 6: charging port.
• 46:33
  Speaker 3: As you gather it up, you're holding it or it
• 46:37
  Speaker 3: starts wiggling in your arms pretty vigorously tries to kind
• 46:41
  Speaker 3: of but it's the top of the cube against your Do.
• 46:45
  Speaker 1: You want me to go somewhere? Speak to me, little guy?
• 46:50
  Speaker 3: A projector pops out of the top of its head.
• 46:53
  Speaker 3: It shoots out an image of a woman. The woman says,
• 46:57
  Speaker 3: all right, sticky and then goes away.
• 47:01
  Speaker 6: Sticky.
• 47:04
  Speaker 7: Damn.
• 47:04
  Speaker 2: He's cute, so cute, wildly cute.
• 47:10
  Speaker 6: Can I take you home?
• 47:11
  Speaker 2: Sticky?
• 47:15
  Speaker 1: Anybody anybody got a yes or no out of that?
• 47:19
  Speaker 4: I mean you're the one that can you know? Can
• 47:22
  Speaker 4: you sense if it has ill intent for us?
• 47:25
  Speaker 6: Look at this guy?
• 47:27
  Speaker 2: I mean, I know, but give it a give it
• 47:31
  Speaker 2: a you know, do you think you're right? You're right?
• 47:35
  Speaker 1: I should give it a try.
• 47:36
  Speaker 6: I sense the processes inside now that it's awake to
• 47:40
  Speaker 6: see like if I can determine like what it's like
• 47:45
  Speaker 6: like directive primus is like the day would.
• 47:48
  Speaker 3: Have had you reach into this small robot trying to
• 47:53
  Speaker 3: sense these things you sense that it is simply meant
• 47:58
  Speaker 3: to be an image collecting data bank, but that is
• 48:04
  Speaker 3: fully off of any grid or other outlet, and there
• 48:09
  Speaker 3: are many entries within.
• 48:12
  Speaker 2: Do you recognize the woman who is in the projection image?
• 48:16
  Speaker 2: None of you would. I'm gonna make a little sketch
• 48:18
  Speaker 2: of it.
• 48:20
  Speaker 3: You sketch the woman and Quanta. As you dig around,
• 48:25
  Speaker 3: focused in this electric world that you know, Sticky wobbles
• 48:31
  Speaker 3: a little too much.
• 48:32
  Speaker 2: Out of your arms falls Sticky.
• 48:35
  Speaker 3: The projector pops out of their head again and shows
• 48:41
  Speaker 3: this woman's first entry. You see a beautiful woman with
• 48:49
  Speaker 3: jet black hair and brown skin. She has South Asian features,
• 48:57
  Speaker 3: a messy bun, and glasses.
• 49:01
  Speaker 2: In a lab coat.
• 49:02
  Speaker 3: She sits with her legs crossed, bent over adjusting. What
• 49:07
  Speaker 3: you would imagine is Sticky from Sticky's point of view.
• 49:11
  Speaker 3: All right, Sticky, you ready, Let's try this?
• 49:15
  Speaker 6: All right?
• 49:16
  Speaker 3: Jasmine Dukes, January nineteen eighty six. Report of failure in
• 49:23
  Speaker 3: latest experiment, reproductive cells failed to bond. The organism failed
• 49:31
  Speaker 3: to reach even myosis. An early failure. But the problem
• 49:37
  Speaker 3: is fixable. It seems our modification suppressed the myotic triggers.
• 49:43
  Speaker 3: I should have seen that happening in early calculations.
• 49:46
  Speaker 2: She really should have.
• 49:47
  Speaker 3: We started this work years ago, and this is our
• 49:50
  Speaker 3: first attempt, So Sticky, can you can you blame me?
• 49:54
  Speaker 3: I wrote those early formulas right out of grad school.
• 49:58
  Speaker 3: Easy fixed though, Well, we'll have to introduce a system
• 50:01
  Speaker 3: of camouflage and subterfuge in the initial interactions. We could
• 50:06
  Speaker 3: try codon optimization so it reads the foreign elements it self,
• 50:11
  Speaker 3: or CpG scrubbing. That could be an easy way to
• 50:14
  Speaker 3: blend it, you know, or just make it normative. Oh,
• 50:18
  Speaker 3: or we could package the modification inside an erv like
• 50:22
  Speaker 3: flanking source.
• 50:26
  Speaker 2: Right, just looking at Quanta like is she getting this?
• 50:30
  Speaker 6: I look back at Rachel with absolutely nothing behind my eyes.
• 50:35
  Speaker 3: She goes through a few other options and then just says, oh, well,
• 50:38
  Speaker 3: we should actually probably try them all, just to make sure.
• 50:41
  Speaker 3: I'll write them all down. Sticky, you don't have to
• 50:43
  Speaker 3: remember all this, Okay, that's it. Our first failure will
• 50:47
  Speaker 3: lead to our next failure. She leans forward and turns
• 50:52
  Speaker 3: off Sticky's recording. Sticky wobbles back up right. Thank you
• 51:01
  Speaker 3: for that They had this tech in the nineteen eighties. Yeah,
• 51:07
  Speaker 3: I must have.
• 51:09
  Speaker 2: Man, the past is wild.
• 51:11
  Speaker 6: Yeah, and don't even know what myosis is. That's the
• 51:17
  Speaker 6: only word I really clung on too out of all that.
• 51:23
  Speaker 4: I'm not gonna take a stab at that, like some
• 51:26
  Speaker 4: sort of osis, but like hers hersis.
• 51:29
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it sounds personal. I don't think boys have an osis. Yeah,
• 51:34
  Speaker 2: boys don't have hostes.
• 51:35
  Speaker 1: Definitely not.
• 51:39
  Speaker 2: Damn, he's cares well.
• 51:41
  Speaker 6: I Sticky can't what you can? You come with us?
• 51:48
  Speaker 2: It again lifts up its little tread.
• 51:52
  Speaker 6: We could, We'll fix you.
• 51:54
  Speaker 12: Yeah, yeah, I'm sorry.
• 51:56
  Speaker 1: I shouldn't made that clear.
• 51:57
  Speaker 2: That's my intention.
• 51:59
  Speaker 3: Sticky doing circles with its one. Hey, no, no, no, Sticky,
• 52:06
  Speaker 3: would you like to be everwing? And that's where we'll
• 52:10
  Speaker 3: end this episode of the podcast.
• 52:15
  Speaker 6: Boy, you're cabsolutely knitting together the background.
• 52:26
  Speaker 3: All right, we'll talk about Sticky and all these crazy
• 52:29
