  Speaker 3: Bones, bursting through the south wall, you see a beast
• 0:32
  Speaker 3: who has the body of a rhino. What and where
• 0:37
  Speaker 3: the rhino's head should be? There is instead the torso
• 0:41
  Speaker 3: of a man, followed by a man's head flapping down
• 0:45
  Speaker 3: and landing on his back. Is a scrawny man in
• 0:49
  Speaker 3: a gymnasts leotard. Out of his back sprout gray wings
• 0:53
  Speaker 3: that flutter in his descent. You scan over his body
• 0:57
  Speaker 3: with your paper sens just because it's habit for you.
• 1:00
  Speaker 3: It's something you do. Pressed in ink in his skin.
• 1:04
  Speaker 3: There's an M eleven on his right calf, M eleven,
• 1:09
  Speaker 3: M eleven.
• 1:10
  Speaker 2: Does this bring any bells for me? Or that's all
• 1:12
  Speaker 2: A long? Does this ring any bells?
• 1:14
  Speaker 3: You start thinking back the wealth of knowledge that you
• 1:17
  Speaker 3: go to our books. You think of another M in
• 1:20
  Speaker 3: literature who created strange animals. Doctor Moreau gave them numbers,
• 1:26
  Speaker 3: a doctor Moreau. When you crest and come over, the
• 1:32
  Speaker 3: highest skyscraper in the city, which is probably the highest
• 1:36
  Speaker 3: thing is maybe the space barge. Maybe there's one or
• 1:39
  Speaker 3: two buildings that are higher. Your flight star disappears. You
• 1:43
  Speaker 3: see something odd down an alleyway, eyes glinting out of
• 1:48
  Speaker 3: the darkness.
• 1:49
  Speaker 2: Rachael's gonna fly over Jamir.
• 1:52
  Speaker 3: As you get there first and the other two of
• 1:54
  Speaker 3: you follow, a child steps out of the dark, long
• 1:57
  Speaker 3: straggly hair, a strain tight green outfit that is one piece,
• 2:04
  Speaker 3: vines wrapped around them as belts and sashes, living flowers
• 2:11
  Speaker 3: sprouting out of these vines. Child says, Prophecies awaken, and
• 2:17
  Speaker 3: here I find Knight's thrice doing good work of the range.
• 2:22
  Speaker 3: You must meet, Priest, and I think you must save King.
• 2:27
  Speaker 3: Please come. The child starts crawling on the ground down
• 2:32
  Speaker 3: into a man hole cover itand.
• 2:36
  Speaker 2: Asks you to follow.
• 2:47
  Speaker 3: The comfort of your familiar tube. Time is now interrupted
• 2:53
  Speaker 3: with the realization that there was something down here that
• 2:57
  Speaker 3: you never saw and you never felt. You follow this
• 3:02
  Speaker 3: strange child to the sewers until you find an access
• 3:07
  Speaker 3: port to the pneumatic tube access tunnels below. The child hums.
• 3:13
  Speaker 3: It reverberates off the walls and matches the tonality of
• 3:17
  Speaker 3: the city above. How are the three of you feeling
• 3:21
  Speaker 3: in this moment? And what kind of conversation do you
• 3:25
  Speaker 3: try to poke this child with?
• 3:28
  Speaker 2: Nice place. I like the vibe down here. Thank you.
• 3:34
  Speaker 4: So are you a child or are you some kind
• 3:38
  Speaker 4: of magical creature person?
• 3:42
  Speaker 2: Respectfully?
• 3:45
  Speaker 3: The child stops their own humming. I would say that
• 3:50
  Speaker 3: I am both. Okay, okay, more magic.
• 3:53
  Speaker 2: Good for you? And you live down here? Yes? Congratulations?
• 4:00
  Speaker 1: Where are your parents?
• 4:04
  Speaker 3: My parents? I have not thought of them for some time?
• 4:10
  Speaker 3: My parents now are priest and king?
• 4:13
  Speaker 1: Oh? Do they live down here too?
• 4:16
  Speaker 2: Yes? Thank you? What I do not know? I don't know.
• 4:22
  Speaker 2: I haven't thought about my parents a long time.
• 4:25
  Speaker 4: Okay, So is there like a whole magical kingdom down here?
• 4:28
  Speaker 2: Soon you will see? Okay.
• 4:31
  Speaker 4: I looked at my effatriots, and I'm like, now are
• 4:34
  Speaker 4: getting somewhere.
• 4:36
  Speaker 1: I expand my sense and scan out through the tubes
• 4:44
  Speaker 1: and then below. I've only ever been focused above on
• 4:50
  Speaker 1: the city. So now I'm like, what did I miss?
• 4:54
  Speaker 2: Yeah?
• 4:55
  Speaker 1: At least a family living down here?
• 4:58
  Speaker 3: Roll a sense check. This is a difficult No, this
• 5:01
  Speaker 3: is a challenging check. I'm only a D ten, right, six,
• 5:05
  Speaker 3: I wrouled seven. You are a little bit distracted by
• 5:11
  Speaker 3: the strange in this child that you've met as you
• 5:15
  Speaker 3: follow them through the tubes.
• 5:18
  Speaker 5: So we're now out of the sewer. We're back into
• 5:21
  Speaker 5: the pneumatic tubes.
• 5:22
  Speaker 2: Yes, which are underneath the sewer.
• 5:25
  Speaker 3: If you want to take like a geographical snapshot, you
• 5:29
  Speaker 3: guys are headed north. For those of you that feel
• 5:32
  Speaker 3: like you could track that, I think Jamiir is a
• 5:35
  Speaker 3: pretty good sense of direction for the city. So yeah,
• 5:37
  Speaker 3: i'd be trying to imagine where we are.
• 5:40
  Speaker 1: You said the kid had gluing eyes. Are they day?
• 5:43
  Speaker 2: They're not?
• 5:44
  Speaker 1: Huh m, So you haven't thought about them in a while,
• 5:51
  Speaker 1: but you're taking us to them.
• 5:54
  Speaker 3: I haven't thought of my human parents, my parents when
• 5:57
  Speaker 3: I was a surface dweller for some time.
• 6:01
  Speaker 2: Oh hey, kid, you've got powers. This question is strange
• 6:07
  Speaker 2: to me. What do you mean, y You just seem
• 6:10
  Speaker 2: like no offense respectfully, not a normal child. Mm hm.
• 6:16
  Speaker 2: I am not a normal child by your estimation though, right,
• 6:21
  Speaker 2: But like you got plants all over you? Do you
• 6:24
  Speaker 2: like control plants or doctor plants or you like a plant?
• 6:29
  Speaker 3: If power ever is mine, it is gift from priest.
• 6:36
  Speaker 1: Yeah, mine's gift from sky mommy so same.
• 6:41
  Speaker 2: Yeah, my dad lives in my chest.
• 6:43
  Speaker 3: We protect the lonely children of this city, and when necessary,
• 6:48
  Speaker 3: we take them.
• 6:49
  Speaker 5: In all right, Well, I'm hopeful about this. I think
• 6:52
  Speaker 5: we're being led to a cool place.
• 6:56
  Speaker 4: Are you do you know anything about the mayor and
• 7:00
  Speaker 4: the politics up above? And are you against him and
• 7:04
  Speaker 4: his counsel of evil?
• 7:07
  Speaker 3: I know not what you mean by mayor. Okay, okay,
• 7:12
  Speaker 3: I'm sorry. Hey, that's okay. Yeah, you don't need a
• 7:15
  Speaker 3: political affiliation. I'm more just making sure that you're not
• 7:20
  Speaker 3: aligned with our enemies. So I didn't assume it just
• 7:24
  Speaker 3: based on your general vibe. It feels like you're kind
• 7:27
  Speaker 3: of above what's what's going on upstairs?
• 7:33
  Speaker 2: Thank you.
• 7:34
  Speaker 3: Our enemies are the abuse and the neglect of the young,
• 7:40
  Speaker 3: the young people.
• 7:41
  Speaker 1: Yes, yeah, yeah, we're against that too.
• 7:44
  Speaker 2: Yeah that sounds bad. Okay, do you mind if I
• 7:51
  Speaker 2: smoked down here? What is he is? A child? Said
• 7:58
  Speaker 2: he was? And he wasn't a child? You asked about
• 8:00
  Speaker 2: his political alignments? What do you mean? Smoke? Oh? Here?
• 8:05
  Speaker 3: No?
• 8:09
  Speaker 2: Ow, never mind, I could wait. You move further and
• 8:14
  Speaker 2: further north, Jamir.
• 8:18
  Speaker 3: Yeah, there comes a moment uh oh where you're one
• 8:24
  Speaker 3: hundred and fifty percent more buffness or whatever it is. Yep,
• 8:29
  Speaker 3: you feel your body revert back to how Jamir was
• 8:36
  Speaker 3: before his interaction with the gene.
• 8:40
  Speaker 1: Whoa, hey, what why is your habits looking real loose?
• 8:44
  Speaker 1: Did you stretch it out?
• 8:46
  Speaker 4: Oh? Jamir tries to create a flight star.
• 8:49
  Speaker 2: In front of him. Nothing happens. Hey on, let me
• 8:52
  Speaker 2: see something. I push. I pushed Jimir. The fantas say,
• 8:56
  Speaker 2: what the fuck? Dude?
• 8:57
  Speaker 3: The phantom in this moment is stronger than Jimmy. Whoa, Jamiir,
• 9:02
  Speaker 3: your steps feel heavy? The VENI am on you hard
• 9:07
  Speaker 3: to move?
• 9:08
  Speaker 2: Okay?
• 9:09
  Speaker 4: We what I would Jamir know if we had crossed
• 9:14
  Speaker 4: the city limits in terms of northward travel.
• 9:18
  Speaker 3: I think without a role, Jamir would guest streets certainly. Yeah,
• 9:22
  Speaker 3: I think you would guess at that certainly.
• 9:26
  Speaker 4: Well, guys, uh, I'm out of range, so that I point,
• 9:33
  Speaker 4: you know, behind us, that's New Babel, That's where I
• 9:38
  Speaker 4: have powers.
• 9:39
  Speaker 2: We're now in America.
• 9:41
  Speaker 1: What wait?
• 9:42
  Speaker 2: Wait?
• 9:43
  Speaker 1: Step back like five feet?
• 9:44
  Speaker 4: Okay, sorry, child, could you pause for a second. Yeah,
• 9:48
  Speaker 4: Jamir takes a few steps back until I feel the change.
• 9:52
  Speaker 4: Jamir like gets a little buffer. I think he also
• 9:55
  Speaker 4: just tilts his chin back a little bit, throws his
• 9:58
  Speaker 4: shoulders back a little bit, feels more confident. Once I
• 10:05
  Speaker 4: step back enough, I feel my body puff up with
• 10:10
  Speaker 4: magic strength. I make a flight star, I stand on it,
• 10:15
  Speaker 4: and I say, just as a demonstration, and I kind
• 10:19
  Speaker 4: of hover a Segway stile forward on it, and yeah,
• 10:25
  Speaker 4: I assume it just kind of disappears as it hits
• 10:29
  Speaker 4: that invisible barrier.
• 10:31
  Speaker 2: Yes, and then I land and I look at my friends.
• 10:39
  Speaker 4: I don't know if I should go should Yeah.
• 10:44
  Speaker 2: It's fine. I just have a lot of follow up
• 10:47
  Speaker 2: questions about this.
• 10:48
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, first off, are you okay?
• 10:52
  Speaker 4: I mean I'm okay, but like, I'm not gonna be
• 10:55
  Speaker 4: able to take bullets or throw punches if it comes
• 10:59
  Speaker 4: to that. Here there are no bullets or punches forward.
• 11:04
  Speaker 4: Thank you, child. I felt better coming with you when
• 11:08
  Speaker 4: I had my abilities. If we get in a scrap,
• 11:12
  Speaker 4: I'm I'm a liability, not an asset anymore.
• 11:18
  Speaker 5: Why my question is if the city redistricts does it work? Like,
• 11:26
  Speaker 5: how does it know where the city limits are?
• 11:29
  Speaker 1: Oh? My gosh, you are Why is it just the city?
• 11:34
  Speaker 4: If I had to take a guess pp it, you
• 11:38
  Speaker 4: know it's the city limits as defined when the wish
• 11:42
  Speaker 4: was made.
• 11:42
  Speaker 2: But maybe I'm wrong.
• 11:43
  Speaker 4: Maybe the magic is changeable based on the definition of
• 11:49
  Speaker 4: the city and Quanta. I think that's why the genie
• 11:53
  Speaker 4: went back into the pot when I made my wishes.
• 11:56
  Speaker 4: I think the gin, maybe knowing me, maybe be half knowingly,
• 12:01
  Speaker 4: took me at my words in a way that limited
• 12:06
  Speaker 4: my gifts to New Babbel, which is okay, that's my world,
• 12:11
  Speaker 4: which is why I'm a little scared.
• 12:12
  Speaker 2: To leave it.
• 12:14
  Speaker 1: I mean, I feel the same, and electrocity sparkles through
• 12:19
  Speaker 1: my fingers. But that's my world too. I never wanted
• 12:23
  Speaker 1: to go to America, but here we are.
• 12:25
  Speaker 2: Here we are. Oh we're in America.
• 12:29
  Speaker 4: Now we're in the US. I think, mm hmm wow.
• 12:33
  Speaker 4: I make a little flag. Do you get that gun?
• 12:38
  Speaker 1: No?
• 12:39
  Speaker 5: I romantically gave it away to Pace. This would be
• 12:42
  Speaker 5: a great opportunity, you know what. I I wish I
• 12:45
  Speaker 5: was wearing that everwing brae could give it.
• 12:47
  Speaker 2: To you, Damn glad you're not.
• 12:50
  Speaker 3: You could make him a paper sword, sure here you go,
• 12:53
  Speaker 3: or a paper hammer, Oh, sure here you.
• 12:55
  Speaker 1: Go, or a paper knife.
• 12:58
  Speaker 2: The child child does not say these things.
• 13:01
  Speaker 5: I don't think a paper gun. I mean, I can
• 13:03
  Speaker 5: make you a paper gun. I don't think it's gonna work.
• 13:05
  Speaker 5: Make him a paper gun?
• 13:06
  Speaker 2: All right?
• 13:07
  Speaker 1: Chad got many a minute. I could fire it.
• 13:10
  Speaker 4: I mean, the venom will protect me at least, but
• 13:14
  Speaker 4: team vote, team vote.
• 13:16
  Speaker 2: Should I stay here?
• 13:18
  Speaker 4: Hopefully our communicators work and if all hell breaks loose,
• 13:24
  Speaker 4: I can wait for you here, or do we soldier
• 13:28
  Speaker 4: on knowing?
• 13:29
  Speaker 2: I'm oh, I'm not. I'm not Rachel anymore. Oh.
• 13:33
  Speaker 5: I didn't realize Ragel was a big baby, omamp, big baby.
• 13:39
  Speaker 2: Come on.
• 13:45
  Speaker 6: I step back and I'm like, come over here.
• 13:51
  Speaker 2: Oh.
• 13:51
  Speaker 4: I try to fire a magic blast across the barrier.
• 13:55
  Speaker 2: It dies as it hits the invisible barrier. Yeah, I'm
• 13:59
  Speaker 2: like wagging my butt at it.
• 14:01
  Speaker 1: Oh man, guys, guys, the child said, Knights thrice, you're
• 14:07
  Speaker 1: coming with us.
• 14:12
  Speaker 3: As Quanti rows the two of you, the child says.
• 14:15
  Speaker 2: I fear not. We are close. Roger walks forward.
• 14:19
  Speaker 3: The inventors of New Babbel dreamed that their pneumatic.
• 14:23
  Speaker 2: Tubes would reach the world outside.
• 14:26
  Speaker 3: As you walk, you come to the grave of that
• 14:31
  Speaker 3: dead dream. It is an immense underground space well below
• 14:37
  Speaker 3: the surface. Glass pipes burst out of the earthen walls
• 14:44
  Speaker 3: from all of the major pneumatic branches in the city.
• 14:48
  Speaker 3: They were meant to access this cavern and then be
• 14:53
  Speaker 3: sorted into tubes that would shoot out to the world.
• 14:58
  Speaker 1: Hell's mailroom.
• 15:00
  Speaker 2: This rules. That is so.
• 15:02
  Speaker 3: Cool, But the tubes that come from the city are
• 15:07
  Speaker 3: now all broken off, and the access ports that were
• 15:13
  Speaker 3: meant to go out into the world are now all
• 15:16
  Speaker 3: filled with dirt and broken. That is what this space
• 15:22
  Speaker 3: was meant to be used for. But here's what you
• 15:26
  Speaker 3: see that it is actually being used for. All of
• 15:30
  Speaker 3: the glass tubes are filled with fertile earth and unique
• 15:35
  Speaker 3: biomes that you don't even recognize. Vines that shouldn't be
• 15:40
  Speaker 3: seen on the front, range, flowers that grace the halls
• 15:44
  Speaker 3: of the Amazon rainforest. Flora and fauna that just shouldn't
• 15:49
  Speaker 3: be here fills these now useless glass tubes.
• 15:55
  Speaker 2: And that's just the tubes.
• 15:57
  Speaker 1: That's just the tubes.
• 15:58
  Speaker 2: Ain't that the tubes, just the twube, just the tube
• 16:03
  Speaker 2: of us. We can get fat, that just the tube
• 16:06
  Speaker 2: of us.
• 16:06
  Speaker 1: Johnny's gonna fire us.
• 16:08
  Speaker 4: Will Smith's gonna be an idea.
• 16:12
  Speaker 2: That's just the tubes.
• 16:16
  Speaker 3: The walls have been decorated with cascading moss, vine and flower,
• 16:23
  Speaker 3: and over one hundred huts have been built by mud.
• 16:28
  Speaker 2: Tree and moss. There is daylight.
• 16:32
  Speaker 3: Pouring in from somewhere, and it shines as a spotlight
• 16:37
  Speaker 3: on an empty wooden throne on a mound in the northernmost.
• 16:43
  Speaker 2: Part of this cavern. And there are children.
• 16:46
  Speaker 3: Over one hundred just seeing now about, playing, laughing, running.
• 16:51
  Speaker 2: Hey everybody. They come up to you, circle you, dance
• 16:56
  Speaker 2: around you.
• 16:58
  Speaker 3: Oh, there are those playing small instruments, makeshift out of
• 17:03
  Speaker 3: tune of each other, but somehow still beautiful in their discordance.
• 17:08
  Speaker 3: The children move you in a clump towards the throne.
• 17:13
  Speaker 1: Oh yeah, I don't have to push rigel very hard.
• 17:17
  Speaker 1: Damn I do a tiny.
• 17:20
  Speaker 2: I'm sorry.
• 17:21
  Speaker 1: I told you to put your butt away.
• 17:22
  Speaker 2: Rude, It's okay. I just wanted it to come too.
• 17:33
  Speaker 3: Weeping next to the throne. When I say weeping, it's
• 17:37
  Speaker 3: not a full body movement. Their shoulders aren't shaking, their
• 17:43
  Speaker 3: head is not bowed. But there is a plump child
• 17:47
  Speaker 3: with red blonde hair. And she mourns silently. The tears
• 17:53
  Speaker 3: that roll off of her cheeks glitter, and as they
• 17:57
  Speaker 3: hit the ground sprout small flowers where they land.
• 18:03
  Speaker 2: Here, here's a tissue child. She takes it.
• 18:07
  Speaker 5: Hello, Hi, lovely, lovely civilization you have down here. It's
• 18:13
  Speaker 5: great seems like you're making all these plants.
• 18:19
  Speaker 2: Is that you?
• 18:20
  Speaker 3: Yes, she smiles, though her tears continue. These are my plants,
• 18:26
  Speaker 3: and these are my children.
• 18:28
  Speaker 4: Mmmmm, like I'm not literally right. What do you mean,
• 18:34
  Speaker 4: like you know, like you're a child. Yes, ah, so
• 18:39
  Speaker 4: that's pretty much what I mean. Like they're your children
• 18:43
  Speaker 4: in the sense that like we're we are family. Also,
• 18:46
  Speaker 4: I point to Rigel and Quanta, but not like we're
• 18:50
  Speaker 4: not related.
• 18:52
  Speaker 2: She nods. Cool. Are you in charge?
• 18:56
  Speaker 3: She smiles again. You may say that I am, they
• 19:00
  Speaker 3: may think that I am, But there is only freedom here.
• 19:04
  Speaker 3: And she then gestures to the children.
• 19:07
  Speaker 2: Be gone.
• 19:08
  Speaker 3: I must speak with these, and they all rustle off
• 19:12
  Speaker 3: back to their games and their instruments and their huts.
• 19:16
  Speaker 1: Are there. It's all children.
• 19:19
  Speaker 2: Yep, you do see some day children here.
• 19:22
  Speaker 1: I do a scan to try to discern if any
• 19:27
  Speaker 1: of them are maturing.
• 19:30
  Speaker 3: Hmm interesting. Roll a knowledge check plus your scan. This
• 19:36
  Speaker 3: is a challenging This is an average check. Imrolling a
• 19:40
  Speaker 3: D eight. It's possible five. I rolled one. You sense
• 19:46
  Speaker 3: many different levels of maturity. The one before you is
• 19:51
  Speaker 3: older in their mind than you are. I'm sure that
• 19:58
  Speaker 3: you have many questions.
• 20:01
  Speaker 1: Yes, why for starters if you don't mind? Why did
• 20:05
  Speaker 1: that child? I look around trying to find them, and
• 20:07
  Speaker 1: they're gone. Bring us here, We've been looking for you.
• 20:13
  Speaker 1: What there were words spoken long ago that this dark
• 20:18
  Speaker 1: time would be upon us?
• 20:20
  Speaker 2: Prophecy? I'm not sure. I've got a question. Can we
• 20:26
  Speaker 2: smoke down here?
• 20:27
  Speaker 3: No?
• 20:29
  Speaker 2: Please? Please do not. That's why I ask.
• 20:33
  Speaker 1: Plants and all?
• 20:34
  Speaker 2: Oh sure, oh yeah, oh sorry, plants and all, yes,
• 20:39
  Speaker 2: plants and all.
• 20:40
  Speaker 5: Can I tell just from looking around at some of
• 20:42
  Speaker 5: the structures and this space, like, how long this little
• 20:47
  Speaker 5: civilization has been here? Do they got written records on paper?
• 20:51
  Speaker 5: What's the situation with them? I think here's what I'll
• 20:55
  Speaker 5: say that's interesting about that. It feels like without rolling.
• 20:58
  Speaker 3: I think all of you note that everything looks incredibly
• 21:02
  Speaker 3: fresh and new, except for the machinery that is now
• 21:08
  Speaker 3: covered with but there is no there is very little decay.
• 21:14
  Speaker 1: Wow, this place is amazing. Why were you? What words
• 21:24
  Speaker 1: were spoken about us?
• 21:28
  Speaker 2: Would you hear them now?
• 21:30
  Speaker 1: If it? If you? Like I was about to say,
• 21:33
  Speaker 1: like if it pleases you, I don't know, I got
• 21:35
  Speaker 1: I felt so formal all of a sudden.
• 21:37
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it's it's tough.
• 21:40
  Speaker 1: White.
• 21:40
  Speaker 2: You can't smoke.
• 21:44
  Speaker 1: Didn't you recently start?
• 21:46
  Speaker 2: Oh yeah, I'm very addicted.
• 21:48
  Speaker 1: I just went all in so fast.
• 21:50
  Speaker 2: Put that EE medicine in my mouth.
• 21:52
  Speaker 1: Oh I freak, can't.
• 21:53
  Speaker 2: I'm addicted to drugs.
• 21:55
  Speaker 3: These words were spoken to me the day that the
• 21:58
  Speaker 3: range is old form passed and her new one was
• 22:02
  Speaker 3: gifted unto.
• 22:04
  Speaker 1: Me, you're the range, she nods.
• 22:09
  Speaker 2: WHOA.
• 22:10
  Speaker 4: Wait, okay, so do you have the ranges like memories
• 22:18
  Speaker 4: or is it more just like a mantle, a title
• 22:21
  Speaker 4: that's passed out?
• 22:22
  Speaker 3: What you call the front range is home to two
• 22:28
  Speaker 3: great spirits, spirits of growth and decay. Both of them
• 22:34
  Speaker 3: filled the body of the one called the Range long ago.
• 22:41
  Speaker 3: On the day that she perished, I was young, my
• 22:46
  Speaker 3: parents holding my hands, rushing me towards safety, but they
• 22:52
  Speaker 3: were crushed, and then the range slew their great enemy.
• 23:01
  Speaker 3: But then the Range fell wounded, bleeding. She almost fell
• 23:10
  Speaker 3: right atop of me. WHOA, the ichor within her body
• 23:17
  Speaker 3: struck my tongue. She then gestures to her body, puts
• 23:29
  Speaker 3: her little arms out and her pudgy hands as if
• 23:33
  Speaker 3: to say, and this is what happened.
• 23:36
  Speaker 4: So you haven't aged in well like eighty years or
• 23:41
  Speaker 4: something something like.
• 23:43
  Speaker 2: That, and we know the range kind of friend of
• 23:46
  Speaker 2: a friend of a memory.
• 23:49
  Speaker 3: Yeah, but no, her memories are not mine. For the
• 23:54
  Speaker 3: spirit was passed to me, the spirit of decay was not.
• 24:00
  Speaker 3: The spirit of decay was passed to our king. She
• 24:05
  Speaker 3: gestures to the throne.
• 24:08
  Speaker 2: So the rains had both.
• 24:10
  Speaker 3: Yes, she was gifted both that she may be equipped
• 24:18
  Speaker 3: for her battle against machine and metal.
• 24:21
  Speaker 2: I get it.
• 24:23
  Speaker 4: Anti industrialist, Yes, that's in the lore. But you, guys,
• 24:30
  Speaker 4: I look around, are not Have you guys been fighting
• 24:35
  Speaker 4: the man the encroachment of machines on our world from
• 24:40
  Speaker 4: down here or something?
• 24:43
  Speaker 3: She shakes her head. The spirits of the front range
• 24:47
  Speaker 3: have not made that our task.
• 24:51
  Speaker 2: But you do have a task as of now.
• 24:56
  Speaker 3: It is to protect the children of this city that
• 25:01
  Speaker 3: need us. Huh nice cool.
• 25:07
  Speaker 1: Well, and then they become like you. Okay, stay, she nods.
• 25:15
  Speaker 3: That is not my power alone, King, our king. Decay
• 25:22
  Speaker 3: is not simply decay incarnate, but also the master of it.
• 25:29
  Speaker 5: Hell, I look around. This King's not here. We don't
• 25:33
  Speaker 5: see them right, just their throne.
• 25:34
  Speaker 3: That's why I said that. You do see a little
• 25:37
  Speaker 3: bit of decay in the vine and in the flower.
• 25:41
  Speaker 3: They droop a little bit the children. It hasn't been
• 25:45
  Speaker 3: long enough for them to start growing. But with the
• 25:48
  Speaker 3: king gone, she says, she continues, things are not in balance.
• 25:55
  Speaker 1: So they're missing. Yes, that's you sent for us to
• 26:02
  Speaker 1: find your king.
• 26:03
  Speaker 3: The words now that the range spoke to me before
• 26:07
  Speaker 3: she perished of her wounds. King decay will one day change,
• 26:15
  Speaker 3: and need will he salvation. A beast of two will
• 26:21
  Speaker 3: have three heads? Is return be our elation? Seek not
• 26:26
  Speaker 3: far for savior. Nights three strong will be their number.
• 26:34
  Speaker 3: The star, the tree, the lightning strike fold tightly round
• 26:42
  Speaker 3: the umber anyone?
• 26:44
  Speaker 2: I mean that prophecy could be about anyone. No, it's
• 26:49
  Speaker 2: definitely yes.
• 26:51
  Speaker 1: But smart guy over there any any definitions of umber,
• 26:56
  Speaker 1: you know, just just in case Rachel doesn't know it
• 27:00
  Speaker 1: means rude?
• 27:02
  Speaker 5: Sure, I mean it's me, I don't know, yeah, like
• 27:04
  Speaker 5: the shadow. It sometimes it means like the shadow of
• 27:06
  Speaker 5: the moon. It's lots of things. Is there anything that
• 27:10
  Speaker 5: Jason would Oh, yeah, you're right. What's the uh yeah,
• 27:14
  Speaker 5: smart guy?
• 27:16
  Speaker 2: Yeah?
• 27:16
  Speaker 1: What's umber? Then?
• 27:17
  Speaker 2: Is umber a word? It's like shadow? I think though
• 27:21
  Speaker 2: that sounds right like Umbrian pokemons under my umbrella, beneath
• 27:27
  Speaker 2: under Yeah, maybe something.
• 27:33
  Speaker 3: I thought it was just darkness and shadow. Hey, let's
• 27:36
  Speaker 3: just go with it in that question.
• 27:37
  Speaker 2: But I think I was thinking of umbra. Okay, let's
• 27:41
  Speaker 2: just go with it. Not question.
• 27:42
  Speaker 5: Well, so then, is there any any of those words
• 27:45
  Speaker 5: in that prophecy?
• 27:46
  Speaker 2: Does that?
• 27:46
  Speaker 5: Is there any literary reference? Is there any any clues
• 27:50
  Speaker 5: to be deciphered from having worked at the library for
• 27:54
  Speaker 5: years that help?
• 27:56
  Speaker 1: Love it?
• 27:57
  Speaker 2: Roll on? Knowledge? Check? You got average? Check? I'm willing
• 28:01
  Speaker 2: a D eighth.
• 28:02
  Speaker 5: Any chance paper sense can help me here? Yeah, of
• 28:05
  Speaker 5: course that's a nine. I wrote four. All you would think,
• 28:11
  Speaker 5: I imagine, is that you've never read this before Anywhere.
• 28:15
  Speaker 5: There's talk of nights, there's talk of three, the star
• 28:20
  Speaker 5: of the tree, the lightning, referencing you all umburbing darkness
• 28:24
  Speaker 5: and a darkish earth and color, but nothing from literature
• 28:30
  Speaker 5: that would give you hints or clues.
• 28:33
  Speaker 3: So this.
• 28:36
  Speaker 2: Prophecy is older than we are. Yeah.
• 28:40
  Speaker 4: Yeah, And it knew about us something, some spirit force
• 28:48
  Speaker 4: knew about each of us with our weird routes to powers,
• 28:54
  Speaker 4: and it had a job for us. Is this why
• 28:58
  Speaker 4: we are here?
• 29:01
  Speaker 2: Like?
• 29:01
  Speaker 4: Are we just here for this baby's prophecy?
• 29:05
  Speaker 2: This old baby's prophecy?
• 29:08
  Speaker 1: I mean even if so, the path toward it has
• 29:13
  Speaker 1: given us lots of cool shit and our own things
• 29:19
  Speaker 1: we want to accomplish. Might as well pay the.
• 29:22
  Speaker 5: Piper, and if we complete our destiny then we're free.
• 29:26
  Speaker 5: You could do whatever the fuck we want. Why am
• 29:30
  Speaker 5: i tree? Tree? He said, tree right? The priest trucks paper.
• 29:39
  Speaker 2: Was invented eighty years ago. I don't know well before.
• 29:43
  Speaker 2: It just feels close, like it's close. It not wrong,
• 29:47
  Speaker 2: it's fine, tree phantom.
• 29:51
  Speaker 4: So who so you were the first? And then where
• 29:57
  Speaker 4: where did these other kids come from?
• 29:59
  Speaker 2: Chill neglected or abused in the surface a new babel.
• 30:06
  Speaker 4: Yes, so you get kids that need help and you
• 30:10
  Speaker 4: bring them here.
• 30:11
  Speaker 2: Yes, and they're allowed to leave of course? Okay?
• 30:15
  Speaker 3: Good.
• 30:16
  Speaker 4: Kind of a classic Lost Boice situation. Do you guys
• 30:20
  Speaker 4: have books down here? You speak like you've read not
• 30:25
  Speaker 4: recent books. We have books.
• 30:28
  Speaker 5: You guys just read what comes out of the tubes.
• 30:30
  Speaker 2: I bet I.
• 30:31
  Speaker 1: Didn't catch anything in there about where your king could be.
• 30:35
  Speaker 2: Do you know we do?
• 30:38
  Speaker 3: There is a wicked place, a place that twists nature
• 30:44
  Speaker 3: beyond resemblance, a place we cannot go for even this
• 30:49
  Speaker 3: far away from it. It ails me and weakens my
• 30:53
  Speaker 3: power the house of Doctor Moreau.
• 31:00
  Speaker 5: Oh boy, all right, I knew this was coming Phyllison Phantom.
• 31:05
  Speaker 2: Oh sure.
• 31:06
  Speaker 5: So a while back, I sence the tattoo on the masterpiece.
• 31:12
  Speaker 2: It's just a number and the letter M.
• 31:14
  Speaker 1: But the guy at the car dealership mm hmmm.
• 31:18
  Speaker 2: Yeah, Clank Clank Industries. We thought that guy.
• 31:22
  Speaker 5: I wasn't sure, but I think this confirms that whoever's
• 31:25
  Speaker 5: making these weird animal freaks goes by doctor Moreau.
• 31:29
  Speaker 2: It's an old book. Oh oh yeah, they're probably cool
• 31:37
  Speaker 2: like me because they read books. Cool they are not?
• 31:41
  Speaker 5: Yeah, but I mean no, not couldn't The mimig and
• 31:45
  Speaker 5: the animal freaks and being a problem for you is bad,
• 31:47
  Speaker 5: But it's nothing. There's nothing wrong with being a book bookworm.
• 31:53
  Speaker 3: No, the king and his cat were taken, Oh like
• 31:58
  Speaker 3: a literal cat.
• 31:59
  Speaker 2: Yes, Oh, when the king arrived he had a cat.
• 32:05
  Speaker 5: Oh dude, I'll bet you forty phantom bucks that that
• 32:08
  Speaker 5: guy is fused with.
• 32:09
  Speaker 2: A cat now, oh no, forty phantom bucks going once
• 32:15
  Speaker 2: he has want to take those odds.
• 32:16
  Speaker 3: The words from the range, A beast of two will
• 32:20
  Speaker 3: have three heads.
• 32:24
  Speaker 2: Ye, that's a solid guess.
• 32:26
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I think your king might be in quite some trouble.
• 32:33
  Speaker 3: How this is why we need knights. Three okay? How
• 32:38
  Speaker 3: how how long after you did the king come along?
• 32:42
  Speaker 2: Moments? And so he's very old.
• 32:46
  Speaker 4: Boy vibes as well as your vibesh. What does he
• 32:51
  Speaker 4: look like? You give us a visual description of this
• 32:55
  Speaker 4: child man?
• 32:57
  Speaker 3: He is a bit taller than I, shaggy brown hair,
• 33:02
  Speaker 3: scratch on his eye, it's a over his eye.
• 33:07
  Speaker 2: Sure, sure, that is all? Okay?
• 33:10
  Speaker 4: And does he have so based on the spirit he received?
• 33:15
  Speaker 4: Does he have any kind of like a desiccation powers
• 33:21
  Speaker 4: or you know, withering rays? Or does he turn people
• 33:29
  Speaker 4: old by clutching them and stuff mushroom stuff?
• 33:33
  Speaker 2: Is he doing mushroom stuff? Oh? Interesting?
• 33:36
  Speaker 3: The extent of his powers and mine are not fully known.
• 33:43
  Speaker 3: We are saviors of the lost. We are not warriors.
• 33:48
  Speaker 3: What's the coolest thing you've seen him do?
• 33:50
  Speaker 2: Though?
• 33:52
  Speaker 3: There was a time, okay, a young boy in his
• 33:57
  Speaker 3: father's grasp being choked. King Decay grew angry, touched his head,
• 34:08
  Speaker 3: and the man withered, decayed as though in grave. We
• 34:15
  Speaker 3: try not to move to such measures, and usually they
• 34:19
  Speaker 3: can be avoided, but not always.
• 34:23
  Speaker 5: Heard you mentioned doctor Moreau's layer. Yes, you don't happen
• 34:31
  Speaker 5: to have like the idea of where that is. Lucy
• 34:35
  Speaker 5: will take you.
• 34:37
  Speaker 3: She gestures too, the kid that brought you here, and
• 34:42
  Speaker 3: Lucy waves, hey Lucy.

• 34:57
  Speaker 4: just checking.
• 34:59
  Speaker 2: Let's go.
• 35:01
  Speaker 4: This has been incredible. Are we allowed to come back?
• 35:05
  Speaker 4: We can send you stuff through the tubes.
• 35:07
  Speaker 1: I think the tubes are pretty blocked off. Look around
• 35:11
  Speaker 1: at all the plants growing.
• 35:13
  Speaker 2: I can clear tube. Please do not clear our bio.
• 35:16
  Speaker 2: I'm gonna clear tube. Oh please do not.
• 35:19

• 35:24
  Speaker 3: underneath her start to quiver and shake and grow around her.
• 35:30
  Speaker 3: M we have spent time building that and I don't
• 35:35

• 35:58
  Speaker 2: Oh no, no, no vcation yea desiccation.
• 36:06
  Speaker 1: Defecation so yeah.
• 36:11
  Speaker 5: Like you know when you desecrate, like a grave or
• 36:13
  Speaker 5: like no, yeah, like when yeah, maybe I'm also confused.
• 36:20
  Speaker 4: As you walk away, you're talking about dessication, like making
• 36:24
  Speaker 4: something dry and wither.
• 36:26
  Speaker 1: Yeah. Yeah, I was just like.
• 36:28
  Speaker 2: When you haven't had enough water and then when you
• 36:30
  Speaker 2: it comes out of No.
• 36:32
  Speaker 1: I was just I was just I was just testing, testing, y'all.
• 36:36
  Speaker 2: We're just doing vocab.
• 36:40
  Speaker 3: As you walk away, you hear the priestess voice echoing
• 36:44
  Speaker 3: the cavern. You are welcome back, but please be assured
• 36:49
  Speaker 3: that you are not followed. Of course, please save our
• 36:55
  Speaker 3: king Decay.

  Speaker 4: Thank you, thank you for thank you for the good
• 37:00
  Speaker 4: work you're doing for those who need saving in our city.
• 37:06
  Speaker 2: You're you're you're a hero. Thanks child to priest.
• 37:10
  Speaker 3: Three flowers sprout on you, one behind the wing on
• 37:14
  Speaker 3: Rigel's helm, one as a lapel booteneer on the Phantom,
• 37:19
  Speaker 3: and many within the scarf of Quanta.
• 37:23
  Speaker 1: Oh upgrade.
• 37:26
  Speaker 5: Hey Roger, do you think if you like, had a
• 37:29
  Speaker 5: bucket filled with dirt from New Babbel and you stood
• 37:32
  Speaker 5: in it, do you think you'd have powers?
• 37:35
  Speaker 2: Hey?
• 37:35
  Speaker 4: Okay, situation. Why I didn't bring this up? If there
• 37:41
  Speaker 4: is a you know, a classic superhero secret weakness, this
• 37:47
  Speaker 4: is mine. Okay, So I'm totally fine joking that bout
• 37:52
  Speaker 4: it in front of some magical babies. But we can't
• 37:56
  Speaker 4: let this secret get out or I'm gonna be dragged
• 37:58
  Speaker 4: outside of the city.
• 37:59
  Speaker 2: It's shot like a damn dog.
• 38:02
  Speaker 4: Well, it'd be pretty hard to drag you out if
• 38:04
  Speaker 4: you're like it would be hard, but nothing's impossible. We've
• 38:07
  Speaker 4: seen Ryan a Tar's.
• 38:09
  Speaker 5: I would be worried about redistricting that I can't control.
• 38:14
  Speaker 1: I mean, it's it's worth testing out later.
• 38:17
  Speaker 4: I mean, if any lucky you're on board with the
• 38:21
  Speaker 4: bucket the I want to try the bucket theory as
• 38:24
  Speaker 4: once we get back inside city limits and Ragual gets
• 38:28
  Speaker 4: touff again, I'm gonna throw dirt from the America side
• 38:30
  Speaker 4: at him to see what happens anything, though nothing happens.
• 38:37
  Speaker 1: Well, I mean, like if if you if someone did
• 38:39
  Speaker 1: manage to drag you out, you know, we could we
• 38:42
  Speaker 1: could zap a bucket of cross to you. You know,
• 38:45
  Speaker 1: it would be nice to know if it.
• 38:47
  Speaker 5: If it did work, I guess we could plant the
• 38:51
  Speaker 5: new Babbel flag places and that would just.
• 38:55
  Speaker 1: Colonize, colonize the United States.
• 38:58
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I don't know, Yeah, but again, I don't know
• 39:01
  Speaker 4: if the city limits based on the moment the spell
• 39:05
  Speaker 4: was cast or the magic worked. However, never term works
• 39:10
  Speaker 4: for GM magic. I'm not sure, but I I'm a
• 39:15
  Speaker 4: hero for New Babel, the New Babbel alone. I know
• 39:22
  Speaker 4: you wanted to go to space.
• 39:24
  Speaker 1: Space seems cool, but hey, the ships were from New Babel,
• 39:32
  Speaker 1: so belongs to us.
• 39:36
  Speaker 4: I don't I The first time I figured this out,
• 39:40
  Speaker 4: it was from flying and I flew a touch too high.
• 39:45
  Speaker 2: No more powers, so maybe not?
• 39:49
  Speaker 1: Then?
• 39:51
  Speaker 5: Yeah, all right, let's go fuck up this animal guy.
• 39:55
  Speaker 5: Get this child king bag side quest.
• 40:00
  Speaker 1: It will be maybe less horrific than the doll, but
• 40:04
  Speaker 1: probably not. Hey, this was on the to do list anyway,
• 40:07
  Speaker 1: You're right, we need to see where these guys were
• 40:09
  Speaker 1: coming from.
• 40:10
  Speaker 2: Lucy, you want to smoke? No, thank you?
• 40:12
  Speaker 1: Any more thoughts about uh, rock paper Fisters.
• 40:18
  Speaker 5: It's the strongest candidate. I think it's good.
• 40:21
  Speaker 4: But shock shock paper fisters right for you? Yeah, unless
• 40:29
  Speaker 4: we get well, we could get rock Fist in here
• 40:31
  Speaker 4: and then just he just does it all. Yeah, me
• 40:35
  Speaker 4: and rock Fist would be rock rock paper Fisters.
• 40:39
  Speaker 1: That's that's awesome. I mean, we should wake that guy up.
• 40:44
  Speaker 5: At some point wake him up, force him to be
• 40:46
  Speaker 5: on a side team with me.

  Speaker 2: That's nuts.
• 41:49
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean added to the list of crazy shit

  Speaker 1: workshot it a thousand and three Arabian Nights.
• 42:29
  Speaker 2: That's good.
• 42:30
  Speaker 1: That was the book I saw the library.

  Speaker 2: I like this Night's thing.

  Speaker 1: The night Nights but spelled spelled the two different ways night.
• 42:45
  Speaker 7: Night Unconscious When when Rachel's a New Babble with.
• 42:56
  Speaker 1: A tight s don't spread, You're right, all right, My
• 43:01
  Speaker 1: lips are filed. My lips are tight, except for when
• 43:07
  Speaker 1: the phantom and I want to make fun.
• 43:08
  Speaker 2: Of you just a little privately.
• 43:23
  Speaker 3: You have this discussion as you head as you head
• 43:26
  Speaker 3: back into the city, led by Lucy. Lucy eventually takes
• 43:32
  Speaker 3: you those of you who feel like you have a
• 43:34
  Speaker 3: good sense of the city, which I think all of
• 43:36
  Speaker 3: you do pretty well. But she takes you underneath, underneath
• 43:41
  Speaker 3: ask and specifically underneath New Babble Tech University. You climb
• 43:50
  Speaker 3: up to the sewer level and then out into the
• 43:53
  Speaker 3: city an alley way that these children know so well
• 43:57
  Speaker 3: as they hunt in the city for children that need them,
• 44:02
  Speaker 3: and Lucy points to a tall building that stands next.
• 44:06
  Speaker 2: To the campus.
• 44:07
  Speaker 3: The building has a twist in its architecture as it
• 44:13
  Speaker 3: rises up high into the sky. This was the place
• 44:17
  Speaker 3: where the greatest scientists of New Babble that were meant
• 44:21
  Speaker 3: to stay on Earth did their works.
• 44:29
  Speaker 2: And Lucy says, up there in the very top, we'll
• 44:37
  Speaker 2: find him.
• 44:39
  Speaker 3: She nods, thank you for saving our king nights threefold?
• 44:45
  Speaker 1: What'd you say?
• 44:48
  Speaker 2: Nights threefold? Threefold? Is a wait to say three? You know?
• 44:53
  Speaker 2: Magic baby kids say the darnest things, good luck, and she.
• 45:01
  Speaker 3: Disappears into the shadows and down into the sewers.
• 45:05
  Speaker 2: Those kids seem like they've got a cool life.
• 45:07
  Speaker 1: I'm just gonna say, yeah, it is really cool down.
• 45:10
  Speaker 2: There, better than my childhood. Jeez, Louise, you.
• 45:13
  Speaker 1: See all those plants? Have we got to maybe? I
• 45:18
  Speaker 1: know you're I know you've got your drawers and your
• 45:20
  Speaker 1: closets or whatever in your brain, But I'm gonna come
• 45:23
  Speaker 1: back to that one.
• 45:24
  Speaker 2: What. No, it's good. I am. I think they've got
• 45:28
  Speaker 2: a cool setup.
• 45:29
  Speaker 1: Yeah yeah, but then you said way better than mine?
• 45:32
  Speaker 1: Mm hmm yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, I'm gonna tuck that
• 45:36
  Speaker 1: in one of my drawers for later.
• 45:38
  Speaker 2: Okay, I don't say it like the hat.
• 45:40
  Speaker 1: Jeez, how about as your friend. I'm gonna ask about
• 45:44
  Speaker 1: that later.
• 45:45
  Speaker 2: Okay, yeah, sure, if you want to know, Asoul, we
• 45:48
  Speaker 2: go see if we can save their king.
• 45:53
  Speaker 1: It sounds like a job for nights, doesn't it saving
• 45:56
  Speaker 1: the king?
• 45:57
  Speaker 4: Yeah, sounds about night. Sorry, Sorry I tried. I took
• 46:03
  Speaker 4: a swinglet.
• 46:06
  Speaker 1: No sounds about night. Sounds about nights, I turn into nightning.
• 46:13
  Speaker 3: Without Really, you guys are empowered people. The city you
• 46:19
  Speaker 3: feel as you move through it again the energy that
• 46:25
  Speaker 3: you have caused in this day. It is becoming night,
• 46:31
  Speaker 3: but there are rumblings as the people respond to the
• 46:38
  Speaker 3: truth that has.
• 46:38
  Speaker 2: Been given them.
• 46:40
  Speaker 3: But without rolling, you're very powerful. You can enter this
• 46:44
  Speaker 3: building how you want, Quanta. You sense that most of
• 46:50
  Speaker 3: the building is empty. It's becoming night. However, I think
• 46:55
  Speaker 3: with the powers of the phantom, you realize that this
• 46:58
  Speaker 3: is still a place where work, where science is done
• 47:02
  Speaker 3: and discoveries are found in the bottom part of the building.
• 47:09
  Speaker 1: After today, we've got a pretty high profile, the highest
• 47:12
  Speaker 1: we've had so not the front doors.
• 47:17
  Speaker 2: Ooh, paper back door?
• 47:20
  Speaker 1: Can he can he take us?
• 47:23
  Speaker 2: Sure? I sorry, I have to say that.
• 47:27
  Speaker 3: Yeah, the paper back door is the papers, But is
• 47:29
  Speaker 3: the paper phantoms about home?
• 47:31
  Speaker 2: Door?
• 47:33
  Speaker 1: Yeah? I mean, if I got to go in there,
• 47:35
  Speaker 1: that's that's the way it's got to be.
• 47:38
  Speaker 5: Yeah, like pajama style, have a butt flap that opens.
• 47:44
  Speaker 2: Uh No, I'll.
• 47:46
  Speaker 5: Craft a big paper door that can lead into another
• 47:49
  Speaker 5: piece of paper in presumably where we think the later is.
• 47:52
  Speaker 2: You have never taken people with you? I want to try.
• 47:56
  Speaker 1: Hell yeah, take me too, the paper realm.
• 48:04
  Speaker 2: This is gonna be hard. This is a power you have.
• 48:06
  Speaker 3: Branched, right, Yeah, but it's gonna be still a very
• 48:09
  Speaker 3: difficult check because you're trying to take two people with you.
• 48:11
  Speaker 3: This is a godly check, so it will cost an energy.
• 48:13
  Speaker 3: I'm rolling a D twenty and a D four.
• 48:15
  Speaker 1: Okay, I would love to use my always helpful oh
• 48:19
  Speaker 1: yeah bye, just zapping the paper like I do to
• 48:24
  Speaker 1: make the Adams Flexi.
• 48:27
  Speaker 3: And this is going to be we are using it
• 48:30
  Speaker 3: for sneaky purposes. Also, yeah, I think I'm gonna ask
• 48:34
  Speaker 3: for a spirit check. As you try to move people
• 48:38
  Speaker 3: through a paper dimension, spirit plus your power.
• 48:43
  Speaker 1: I'll give you three from my lightning reflexes pool. All right,
• 48:48
  Speaker 1: I'll make control electricity. Pool makes more sense.
• 48:51
  Speaker 2: I rolled a three on my D four, which is good.
• 48:54
  Speaker 2: Ooh and on my D twenty, I rolled a five.
• 48:58
  Speaker 5: Whoa, I've got an a here plus the three that
• 49:01
  Speaker 5: FRONTA gave, so that's eleven.
• 49:03
  Speaker 2: Yeah, what happens?
• 49:07
  Speaker 5: I unfurl a piece of my cloak into the shape
• 49:11
  Speaker 5: of a door, and I open it. And you see
• 49:15
  Speaker 5: the void, the paper dimension, the behind every piece of paper,
• 49:20
  Speaker 5: and the windows poking out the other ones. And my
• 49:24
  Speaker 5: butt flap folds down.
• 49:27
  Speaker 2: Follow me, I.
• 49:30
  Speaker 5: Link arms with you, guys as he skip through a door.
• 49:34
  Speaker 5: The paper folds up, closes and floats away in the wind.
• 49:39
  Speaker 5: And then cut to the inside of the lab. A
• 49:43
  Speaker 5: drawer slides open, recepts old, crumpled, dirty receipts.
• 49:50
  Speaker 1: Oh my gosh, somebody's been getting so much grimaceking Ugh,
• 49:54
  Speaker 1: these are greasy.
• 49:55
  Speaker 5: They unfurl, expanding, growing to the size all three of
• 50:00
  Speaker 5: us can, like a man hole, like Mario coming out
• 50:04
  Speaker 5: of a pipe. Like we just step out of a
• 50:07
  Speaker 5: drawer into the shadowy corners.
• 50:10
  Speaker 3: Of the lab, and as you do, you're greeted with
• 50:34
  Speaker 3: a sickly green aura. The entire floor top floor of
• 50:40
  Speaker 3: this building is filled with a laboratory, and there's a
• 50:45
  Speaker 3: lot to take in. As your eyes scan the area,
• 50:49
  Speaker 3: powerful electric coils to conduct and then store energy. Rows
• 50:55
  Speaker 3: of beakers and flasks filled with liquid, some bubblings, some still,
• 51:01
  Speaker 3: some swirling, all a variety of colors oozing, purple, ghastly, green, electric, blue.
• 51:09
  Speaker 3: There are racks filled with specimen jars, organs, other bits
• 51:14
  Speaker 3: and pieces of animals and humans that went unused, being
• 51:19
  Speaker 3: stored for future projects. Tables and boards of I said,
• 51:26
  Speaker 3: tables like.
• 51:27
  Speaker 6: It was a big deals and tables atoms, tables and
• 51:37
  Speaker 6: boards of documents showing the chaotic work of a twisted doctor.
• 51:43
  Speaker 3: Something you note there's a picture drawn by a child
• 51:46
  Speaker 3: of a child and a small brown dog hanging on
• 51:49
  Speaker 3: a wall claw marks leading up to the center of
• 51:55
  Speaker 3: the room. There are six upright tanks. One you note
• 52:01
  Speaker 3: is broken, the glass shattered and whatever was once in
• 52:05
  Speaker 3: it long gone.
• 52:07
  Speaker 2: There is no.
• 52:08
  Speaker 3: Residue even of the liquid that used to be contained within.
• 52:12
  Speaker 3: The other five do have pulsing green liquid, and one
• 52:17
  Speaker 3: of them also has a boy and a cat in
• 52:22
  Speaker 3: it that they are both beginning to ooze, starting with
• 52:28
  Speaker 3: their skin. Their bodies are breaking down, melting, and beginning
• 52:33
  Speaker 3: to reach for each other.
• 52:35
  Speaker 2: Oh, you guys, hold me forty phantom bucks.
• 52:37
  Speaker 1: I can't print that shit.
• 52:41
  Speaker 2: You go, thanks.
• 52:43
  Speaker 3: A little my tab and then a voice behind you, ah,
• 52:49
  Speaker 3: I ha, I try to stop it now. If that
• 52:58
  Speaker 3: is why you have come, he wouldn't survive.
• 53:07
  Speaker 1: I turn around.
• 53:09
  Speaker 3: Slowly stepping out of the darkness is doctor Moreau.
• 53:14
  Speaker 2: He stands about five and a half feet tall. He
• 53:18
  Speaker 2: wears comfortable loafer shoes. Comfortable loafer shoes, practical.
• 53:23
  Speaker 3: His khakis and button down blue shirt are covered by
• 53:26
  Speaker 3: a lab coat, and his glasses sit on his balding crown.
• 53:32
  Speaker 3: I was wondering if you would come after you killed
• 53:37
  Speaker 3: my precious tumble.
• 53:39
  Speaker 4: Oh you're the one making these people like this, dude, You.
• 53:44
  Speaker 3: Forget all that a skilled vivisector can do with living things.
• 53:49
