Speaker 1: You're listening to a lily Pad production.
0:04
Speaker 2: This is the Team Up Play Show podcast.
0:19
Speaker 3: Hey y'all, Johnny here, just want to do a quick
0:22
Speaker 3: content warning for this episode. The characters have a discussion
0:26
Speaker 3: about attempted sexual assault that includes racially insensitive language. Just
0:30
Speaker 3: wanted you to be prepared. Now, let's get to the episode.
0:40
Speaker 4: Previously in the City of Bones.
1:01
Speaker 3: And coming out of invisibility? Whoa is Mayor Adrian Stephenson
1:09
Speaker 3: and a large day woman swift shop. There's a cop.
1:22
Speaker 3: Her name's Elaine. She's got a lot on the Mayor.
1:25
Speaker 3: I don't know if she's been too scared or been threatened.
1:29
Speaker 2: But she's got a lot.
1:30
Speaker 3: If that can go public at the right time, if
1:32
Speaker 3: you can help her, then maybe maybe the people would
1:36
Speaker 3: vote for somebody else. Friend, this is Elaine, Oh Jason,
1:41
Speaker 3: She's such a badass. She's a detective who specializes in
1:45
Speaker 3: seeking out corruption in the city.
1:47
Speaker 2: Isn't that cool?
2:06
Speaker 3: A city is full of liars and cheaters, swindlers and cons.
2:13
Speaker 3: A city is full of mysteries and hidden crevices built
2:18
Speaker 3: for purposes long outgrown. A city is full of dreamers
2:24
Speaker 3: and builders who tarry against the everlasting shadow of greed.
2:31
Speaker 3: This city is full of three heroes. They were united
2:36
Speaker 3: by the strange circumstance of their power, but they fly
2:41
Speaker 3: and fight together in their common hope for a city
2:46
Speaker 3: full of light. The name New Hunters rings in your ears.
2:51
Speaker 3: This homage to the heroes of the Founding Age is noble.
2:55
Speaker 3: But maybe that is all that it is. Something about
2:59
Speaker 3: it doesn't fit. As you rush towards the police precinct
3:04
Speaker 3: in ask to find a detective who specializes in finding
3:09
Speaker 3: the corrupt. You've been told she has dirt on the mayor.
3:13
Speaker 3: The mayor has just played some great cards from his hand,
3:19
Speaker 3: The Queen of Promise, the King of Superiority, and the
3:23
Speaker 3: Ace of Lies. Two of clubs, the most sinister of all?
3:31
Speaker 3: What fills the air in your discussion? As the three
3:35
Speaker 3: of you blits through the sky towards the police precinct,
3:40
Speaker 3: in ask, So.
3:55
Speaker 1: I'm thinking, if we're New Hunters, what are we hunting?
4:01
Speaker 2: Evil? Yeah? Yeah, take that evil. We're gonna hunt hunt,
4:05
Speaker 2: you get hunted, get yes? Yes? Do you think people
4:09
Speaker 2: will connect with that? Hmm?
4:12
Speaker 1: I don't know. I didn't really know about the old
4:15
Speaker 1: Hunters until I knew you Rachel.
4:18
Speaker 5: Mmm.
4:19
Speaker 6: Yeah, Unfortunately, a lot of that information has been suppressed.
4:23
Speaker 2: But what about it's cool? Do we need it's cool?
4:26
Speaker 4: I don't want to get the young Oh yeah, m
4:29
Speaker 4: I mean, hey we can work shopping. I like, what
4:31
Speaker 4: about Grandma's special special little guys?
4:35
Speaker 2: Yeah?
4:35
Speaker 1: Yeah, because if your grandma Rachel.
4:38
Speaker 6: Yes, though maybe I don't want to allude to that
4:42
Speaker 6: too publicly, just in case people figure it out kill
4:45
Speaker 6: us and said you never know, people are intes.
4:50
Speaker 2: No, I don't. I don't want to center myself like that.
4:55
Speaker 2: I hope. I hope I don't give off that impression.
4:59
Speaker 1: Oh no, I bet you know. You kind of our
5:04
Speaker 1: I like, look at Richieson, he kind of is the
5:06
Speaker 1: leader right here.
5:07
Speaker 2: Yeah. I don't see. We don't have a leader, per se.
5:12
Speaker 2: Can I be the leader? No? I don't know, buddy.
5:17
Speaker 2: I mean we're all the leaders, so you don't have
5:20
Speaker 2: to ask that. Okay, so I'm the leader.
5:25
Speaker 6: I mean you keep saying it singularly, and then I
5:27
Speaker 6: feel the need to clarify, No.
5:30
Speaker 2: Co leaders, we're the leader. Yes, we're the new leader.
5:34
Speaker 2: The new Babbel.
5:35
Speaker 6: Leaders that might be with well, you know, desiring for elections,
5:41
Speaker 6: declaiming ourselves the new leaders as people that can kill
5:45
Speaker 6: other people easily might send wrong messages. I hope I'm
5:52
Speaker 6: not overthinking this, am I are we overthinking this? Hey?
5:56
Speaker 1: I like chosen Cuties, the conscious cuties.
6:01
Speaker 2: Usually when we're fighting crime, we're conscious.
6:02
Speaker 1: Yeah, usually most of the time.
6:05
Speaker 2: I hate to be that guy.
6:06
Speaker 6: But is conscious Cuties intimidating to our foes as a name?
6:12
Speaker 1: No, it's not just fun.
6:13
Speaker 3: It is fush is interrupted as you zap, float and fly.
6:22
Speaker 1: I think I'm just I'm sitting on the back of
6:25
Speaker 1: Rachel's flight Star with my feet dangling off so that
6:28
Speaker 1: I can participate in the conversation. M h.
6:32
Speaker 2: Toward the precinct. You're here? What's the play here? Friends?
6:37
Speaker 1: Are we the friends?
6:39
Speaker 2: Super friends? Super friend? Where do you get that idea?
6:41
Speaker 2: I said that, you said friends.
6:46
Speaker 6: We are friends, But I don't know if I'm feeling
6:51
Speaker 6: super right now.
6:52
Speaker 2: I get that.
6:54
Speaker 4: I don't know about you guys. But since we had
6:55
Speaker 4: that deal made with the mob, I feel like I
6:58
Speaker 4: feel great. A huge weight has been lifted off of
6:59
Speaker 4: my shoulders.
7:00
Speaker 1: So I bet it has.
7:03
Speaker 2: I must sleep like a baby tonight. Yeah, that was
7:06
Speaker 2: a help. Like a baby, too nice.
7:10
Speaker 1: At least one of us will all right, what was
7:12
Speaker 1: her name? Again? I can try to maybe find a
7:14
Speaker 1: device she's holding and air a message. Elane her last name?
7:18
Speaker 1: Did we get that?
7:19
Speaker 2: Elane? Elaine?
7:22
Speaker 1: All right, give me a second to focus. Can you
7:25
Speaker 1: do the wah blah was?
7:26
Speaker 2: Oh? Sure, I just like wiggle a piece of paper.
7:30
Speaker 1: I would like to sense the electricity in the building
7:33
Speaker 1: and all of the signals to start like reading who's
7:37
Speaker 1: in there, and then also what devices they're holding, and
7:40
Speaker 1: then start listening and try to sort through somebody talking
7:44
Speaker 1: to in a lane, find her and try to just
7:48
Speaker 1: like sift through really quickly all the all them good.
7:51
Speaker 3: Yeah, there's a lot of radioactivity in a police station,
7:54
Speaker 3: so there's a lot to sift through.
7:56
Speaker 2: This is a radio activity.
7:59
Speaker 1: Yeah, radio space activity. Yeah, well, yeah, you're good.
8:07
Speaker 3: Radio I imagine radio activity like one activity. Oh great,
8:15
Speaker 3: maybe I can maybe I can help to there's maybe
8:20
Speaker 3: her name's on the door or like a piece of
8:22
Speaker 3: paper or something there too, Just as zero in on
8:25
Speaker 3: a section of the building with a high concentration of
8:27
Speaker 3: a lane written on pieces of paper. Yeah, files, yeah,
8:31
Speaker 3: I think for that, I'll have you guys roll separately, okay,
8:36
Speaker 3: against an epic check.
8:38
Speaker 2: So I'm rolling a D twenty, A lot of paper
8:42
Speaker 2: scan paper.
8:46
Speaker 1: Synaptic scan.
8:48
Speaker 2: Oh ten nine, I rolled a five.
8:56
Speaker 1: Roll.
8:56
Speaker 2: Oh, she spills it with an E. Jason.
9:00
Speaker 3: You do find Elaine's office. She has her own office.
9:03
Speaker 3: She's a detective. Laddie dah just platonic friends with Paige,
9:08
Speaker 3: has her own office, big shot, cool leather jacket.
9:10
Speaker 2: Okay, whatever, she seems great? Uh you?
9:16
Speaker 3: I think all you're able to sense from the paper
9:18
Speaker 3: in the room is that? Or in the building is that?
9:22
Speaker 3: You know where her office is?
9:24
Speaker 1: Uh?
9:25
Speaker 3: There's missives that are to her. Do you get her
9:28
Speaker 3: last name? Yes, you can get that too, Akira Layne Kira.
9:34
Speaker 3: You do hear some chatter on the internal phone line.
9:39
Speaker 3: Somewhat important picks up the phone, says, where the fucks
9:43
Speaker 3: of Kira get her in here?
9:45
Speaker 1: I think I know where she's gonna be.
9:46
Speaker 2: But then you hear the response, oh wait.
9:49
Speaker 7: Hold on, that says, uh, I don't know, boss, She
9:53
Speaker 7: just ran out of here as soon as she saw
9:55
Speaker 7: the mayor's announcement. She's cursing up a storm and I
10:01
Speaker 7: forgot something and rushed out.
10:03
Speaker 2: Sorry, boss.
10:04
Speaker 3: You hear the deep voice again say, oh, you fucking worthless?
10:09
Speaker 2: You can't just let people go home that let me know.
10:13
Speaker 1: Sorry, boss, there is a whole sitcom happening in those building.
10:18
Speaker 2: Guys, but we just watch.
10:20
Speaker 1: Yeah, we can't. She's on the move. I think she
10:23
Speaker 1: left the building.
10:24
Speaker 3: The other thing you probably could get from that success
10:27
Speaker 3: is an address eighteen seventeen East Willow Street.
10:33
Speaker 4: Fancy, oh East Willow Street. Excuse me? So fancy geez right?
10:39
Speaker 4: Great relay address information?
10:42
Speaker 2: Would we know where that is in the city where
10:44
Speaker 2: we need to bust out a map? Would my ball
10:47
Speaker 2: knowledge from delivery? Just pinpoint?
10:51
Speaker 3: I think between you and Jason, who lives on this
10:54
Speaker 3: in this district, you would know where Willow Street is.
10:57
Speaker 1: We're in sas you're nast asked, excuse me, what are
11:01
Speaker 1: you doing?
11:01
Speaker 6: I mean, if she head out from work, it's logical
11:04
Speaker 6: to assume she might have popped over to the.
11:09
Speaker 1: Wait there at least nearby. In the shadowy Yeah, oh okay,
11:16
Speaker 1: shadow shock star.
11:19
Speaker 2: Oh that rolls off the tongue. I think we got it.
11:22
Speaker 2: That that does? That does.
11:26
Speaker 1: Shadows shock shoot shadow shock shooters the shadow shore.
11:31
Speaker 2: Doing like are you doing hu t are or yeah?
11:35
Speaker 1: H for you know your place of origin?
11:38
Speaker 2: But you guys aren't shooters.
11:41
Speaker 1: But it's like it's I don't know.
11:44
Speaker 2: You guys.
11:44
Speaker 3: Moved toward East Willow Street eighteen seventeen is closer to
11:50
Speaker 3: the downtown side of things than where you are currently,
11:55
Speaker 3: but it is. When you get there, you just see
11:58
Speaker 3: high apartment, higher eyes, small units, and you sense quanta.
12:03
Speaker 8: There's so many people in there. It's it's a home,
12:05
Speaker 8: all right. If she's in there, try to find her.
12:09
Speaker 8: Maybe she's making a call or something, or name plate
12:12

13:23

Speaker 1: failed at that.

Speaker 6: want to take the elevator.
14:16
Speaker 1: Can I, as we as I map out the building electrically,
14:22
Speaker 1: can I sense if anyone is in eight O five?
14:23
Speaker 1: Right now?
14:24
Speaker 2: Yes?
14:24
Speaker 3: You hover over to that area. You do your counting.
14:30
Speaker 3: You do sense someone in in there?
14:33
Speaker 1: I think she's home.
14:34
Speaker 2: It's a knocking situation, or a kicking situation or knock, okay, knock.

Speaker 2: Whoa, Jason, can you get us in?
14:50
Speaker 5: Oh?
14:50
Speaker 2: Sure, yeah.
14:51
Speaker 4: I turned into a piece of paper, slip under the
14:54
Speaker 4: window and up to lift it open for everybody.
14:57
Speaker 3: You see an arrow made of white energy sizzling into
15:02
Speaker 3: existence and being released directly at a lane.
15:07
Speaker 2: Let's go and roll order.

15:26
Speaker 2: metalist bus controversy.
15:31
Speaker 1: We were already anti one church.
15:35
Speaker 2: Should we piss off the whole city?
15:37
Speaker 3: An arrow of energy is sizzling across this small studio apartment.
15:44
Speaker 3: It is all within one l You guys are right
15:46
Speaker 3: up in the mess here. This is going to strike
15:50
Speaker 3: a lane.
15:51
Speaker 6: Jami is going to use his reaction to defend and
15:53
Speaker 6: shoot an energy blast to knock it off its course.
15:57
Speaker 3: Roll your defense, Richel, not good. Four ten damage is
16:04
Speaker 3: coming at Elaine. Shoot from this arrow. Rachel has used
16:10
Speaker 3: his reaction.
16:10
Speaker 4: I can I can tag on here, use some paper
16:13
Speaker 4: sense to try and block anything with all the paper
16:16
Speaker 4: in the room.
16:17
Speaker 2: Nice.
16:18
Speaker 3: Also, I rolled the wrong die. I got a five. Nice,
16:21
Speaker 3: I rolled a D six. I should I should be
16:23
Speaker 3: rull in D eight.
16:24
Speaker 2: That's on me.
16:24
Speaker 3: So only five damage coming through. Elaine hasn't rolled her
16:28
Speaker 3: resilience yet. Elaine rolled a one on her resilience. Poo,
16:33
Speaker 3: that's that's zero.
16:35
Speaker 2: Oo saber phantom.
16:37
Speaker 4: I got a five and then plus ones get added
16:39
Speaker 4: here too, right for permanent bonus? Yes, all right, so
16:41
Speaker 4: six six more defense. Okay, what's this defense look like?
16:46
Speaker 3: The two of you reaching in here at the last moment.
16:49
Speaker 6: Yeah, Rachel's just gonna kind of punch the air and
16:52
Speaker 6: just send out a magical blast that, hopefully, yeah, knocks
16:58
Speaker 6: the arrow slightly off court.
17:00
Speaker 4: And I can sense the reverberations from the arrow in
17:04
Speaker 4: the nearby surrounding paper in the apartment, and I'll pop
17:08
Speaker 4: out of one to try and bath the bath the
17:11
Speaker 4: hero out of the way.
17:12
Speaker 2: Like a cat. The phantom ooh.
17:17
Speaker 3: The arrow is deflected away. As Elaine turns around from
17:22
Speaker 3: reaching under her bed, she has a box in her hands.
17:26
Speaker 3: She looks wide eyed at the large day woman coming
17:30
Speaker 3: into visuals in her apartment. She then looks out her
17:36
Speaker 3: window and sees the two of you both reaching a
17:39
Speaker 3: hand in having blocked this arrow away.
17:42
Speaker 2: We're here to help. What's in a box? It is
17:46
Speaker 2: swift Shots turn.
17:48
Speaker 3: She got that shot off as kind of like a
17:50
Speaker 3: surprise round.
17:52
Speaker 1: Fair enough.
17:53
Speaker 3: She goes invisible as utility action. Rigel, your turn is
18:00
Speaker 3: going to yes, pause real quick, Rachel, let me just
18:04
Speaker 3: say something here, say it? Say it.
18:07
Speaker 2: You won't.
18:07
Speaker 3: Swift Shot rolls a D ten on her attack. She's
18:10
Speaker 3: here with one purpose to kill Elene Akira. Elaine has
18:14
Speaker 3: four HP exactly as a normal human, and you know
18:19
Speaker 3: the stakes. Rachel's gonna say, don't let her get out
18:23
Speaker 3: of here, and I'm gonna use my movement with my
18:27
Speaker 3: flight star to zip over grab her with my free
18:34
Speaker 3: action and then zip out of here and up higher
18:38
Speaker 3: up the building, trying to get out of this person's
18:41
Speaker 3: line of sight.
18:42
Speaker 2: Okay, leaving Quanta.
18:47
Speaker 6: Behind and having a new flight Star buddy, how far
18:50
Speaker 6: can you go, Jamir, total is only three l's, so
18:55
Speaker 6: I'll probably have to spend one. I'd imagine grabbing her
18:58
Speaker 6: and leaving the room and then forty feet straight up
19:01
Speaker 6: the side of this building getting out of.
19:03
Speaker 2: The light of fire.
19:04
Speaker 3: Sounds good. You are two l's away from the activity
19:08
Speaker 3: from the window.
19:09
Speaker 2: Great.
19:09
Speaker 6: And I'm also like holding her, so hopefully I can
19:11
Speaker 6: provide some natural cover if we get shot from behind.
19:15
Speaker 1: Quanta, your turn? With my free action? Can I see
19:18
Speaker 1: where she is? Swift shot?
19:20
Speaker 3: Yes? Roll a roll your sense and scan. She is
19:24
Speaker 3: going to contest this this time because she is trying.
19:27
Speaker 2: To hide from you.
19:28
Speaker 3: Okay, ten nineteen. You know she hasn't gone far, but
19:33
Speaker 3: she's you don't know where she is.
19:35
Speaker 1: I don't see her.
19:37
Speaker 2: Maybe she's gone, maybe she left, I don't think so.
19:39
Speaker 2: Are you still here? Hello?
19:41
Speaker 1: I would like to crash into the room and shut
19:47
Speaker 1: the door so she could only go out the window
19:51
Speaker 1: and like or go through me at the door.
19:53
Speaker 3: You use your movement paper phantom, your turn.
19:55
Speaker 4: I think I want to use utility action to try
19:58
Speaker 4: and put paper on every surface of this room.
20:03
Speaker 2: Does he if I can cover her in paper? Yeah?
20:06
Speaker 3: Great? Use a knowledge check Jason plus your paper manipulation.
20:11
Speaker 3: She is just going to roll a like a ready
20:14
Speaker 3: check to try to get out of the way. Sure,
20:16
Speaker 3: and she's going to add her phasing.
20:22
Speaker 8: Let's see what happens shutting the door.
20:28
Speaker 2: Oh oh, I'm rolling good thirteen. I got a sixteen
20:34
Speaker 2: for you. The paper in the room.
20:37
Speaker 3: The paper phantom controls your kate, your your your coat
20:42
Speaker 3: tails flowing in the wind, your hat flapping a little
20:45
Speaker 3: bit at the brim.
20:46
Speaker 2: Time to redecorate.
20:49
Speaker 3: All the paper flies about. You guys, see you see
20:53
Speaker 3: she's right next to you, Quan. You guys see some
20:57
Speaker 3: of the paper phase through her as she attends to
21:00
Speaker 3: dodge this and get rid of it. But then it
21:03
Speaker 3: just glues to her like paper mache. And you see
21:06
Speaker 3: this paper person mummified. Nice fantom tam work makes the dream.
21:12
Speaker 3: What about flight Star buddies? Is that good?
21:14
Speaker 2: I like it?
21:15
Speaker 3: Okay, it's a Laine Stern. He's on your flight Star
21:18
Speaker 3: with Hu Jamir.
21:19
Speaker 2: What the fuck? What the fuck? Hey? Who are you?
21:21
Speaker 2: What's going on? Ma'am?
21:23
Speaker 3: I'm the hero Rigel and our city's in trouble and
21:26
Speaker 3: we think you might be able to help. But right
21:29
Speaker 3: now I need to get you to safety. You're being attacked. Yeah,
21:32
Speaker 3: no shit, what was that?
21:34
Speaker 6: That is a woman that we think is being used
21:37
Speaker 6: against her will to kill people at the mayor's orders
21:40
Speaker 6: of them being totally frank.
21:42
Speaker 2: It is swift shots. Turn, We're back up to the top.
21:44
Speaker 3: It's being totally a car. If I'm being a one
21:49
Speaker 3: hundred a car with you. The bow pulls back again,
21:56
Speaker 3: and she's going to spend an energy to attack. She's
21:59
Speaker 3: going to spend another energy to use the tracker power attribute.
22:06
Speaker 3: Attack seeks target you cannot see or within the range.
22:11
Speaker 3: It ignores cover and line of sight, godly ignores cover.
22:16
Speaker 2: She pulls back the bow. Let's it go.
22:19
Speaker 3: It zips, It's going to zip out of the window,
22:23
Speaker 3: curves directly upwards, straight towards the lane, and Rigel.
22:28
Speaker 6: All right, does it make it out of the room?
22:32
Speaker 6: I guess is what Rygel's waiting for.
22:34
Speaker 2: I'm going to try to not. I would like to react. Great.
22:37
Speaker 1: Does halt is only on a person?
22:39
Speaker 3: Halt is for a utility action? This is an attack.
22:42
Speaker 1: I will yeah, I'll defend sadly, I'll defend with scan
22:47
Speaker 1: so I can see the electrical pathway that this energy
22:54
Speaker 1: arrow is going to take and try to zip it
22:59
Speaker 1: off course just a little bit so that it hits
23:01
Speaker 1: the window frame instead.
23:04
Speaker 3: She rolled a four plus one permanent bonus bonus is
23:07
Speaker 3: five damage coming to a lane.
23:09
Speaker 1: I rolled a six plus one permanent bonus is seven.
23:15
Speaker 2: I was lucky.
23:16
Speaker 3: You see the arrow moving, You sense that it can
23:20
Speaker 3: have the power to curve upward and go find its target.
23:23
Speaker 2: Use zapp itt and hit the wall. Rigel your turn.
23:28
Speaker 6: We're not to the top of the building, and even that,
23:30
Speaker 6: I don't know how safe it is. So Rigel is
23:33
Speaker 6: going to burn an energy point from my flight stars
23:38
Speaker 6: to move again?
23:40
Speaker 2: And how far can you go? Three three l's so
23:43
Speaker 2: I got another.
23:44
Speaker 6: So we're probably a way above the building.
23:47
Speaker 3: Now you are getting close. It's a tall building. But
23:50
Speaker 3: you were at floor eight, so yeah, you're you're Europe.
23:53
Speaker 3: Europe at the top of the building. Okay, and you
23:56
Speaker 3: and you are now six away six l's away from
24:00
Speaker 3: swift shot, which is just out of her range.
24:03
Speaker 2: Would I know that? Or no? No, you wouldn't.
24:06
Speaker 3: Sorry, cool, that's a good Quanta your turn, swift shot.
24:10
Speaker 1: Do you remember me?
24:12
Speaker 2: No?
24:13
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's what I thought. I know your brother he's
24:17
Speaker 1: looking for you.
24:17
Speaker 2: I don't have a brother.
24:19
Speaker 1: You do, you have two?
24:20
Speaker 3: Don't try to fill my head with nonsense. I'm here
24:24
Speaker 3: to rule.
24:25
Speaker 1: Looks like your head's already filled with nonsense. And I'm
24:28
Speaker 1: gonna attack with control electricity.
24:30
Speaker 2: Just grab her head.
24:33
Speaker 1: And zapp in there. Roll your damage right close up,
24:37
Speaker 1: rolling with precision seven. I know this die is rolling
24:42
Speaker 1: six is so she.
24:44
Speaker 3: Is going to defend because so you're gonna steal her
24:48
Speaker 3: last action, which is big.
24:51
Speaker 1: I was worried about that since we had all used ours.
24:54
Speaker 2: Yep, that's big.
24:55
Speaker 3: That's a lot of damage for her. She rolls six
24:58
Speaker 3: on her defense. She goes kind of invisible, and the
25:03
Speaker 3: electricity phases through her just a little bit and she
25:06
Speaker 3: reveals for two. So so she doesn't take anything, but
25:11
Speaker 3: you took away her last action.
25:13
Speaker 2: Paper Phantom, I'm gonna touch my ear piece a Dirk
25:18
Speaker 2: Dirk Phantom to Dirk. Hell and low and low and
25:20
Speaker 2: low and low and low and low and low and
25:21
Speaker 2: low phantom, Hey withoudre sentor what she's We're there at.
25:27
Speaker 1: Seventeen eighteen eighteen East Willow Street, apartment eight or five.
25:30
Speaker 4: Yep, I'm on my way, tight nice, I'm gonna try
25:34
Speaker 4: and eight right eighteen seventeen, eighteen seventeen, eighteen seventeen.
25:40
Speaker 2: Okay, okay, over, over, I got it. Nice. Yeah, I'm
25:44
Speaker 2: gonna try and attack swift Shirt with some mesh paper
25:52
Speaker 2: and try and wrap my cloak around her to slower down.
25:55
Speaker 2: Use a PA power attribute slowing attack. How close my
26:02
Speaker 2: you're within the same mouth? Oh tight? Okay, so great again?
26:05
Speaker 3: Precision all right, so that's gonna be four the image
26:09
Speaker 3: or damage. She's just rolling her resilience got two, so
26:13
Speaker 3: she takes two damage. Don't think that's enough to slow
26:17
Speaker 3: I think I needed three. That's okay, back up to
26:19
Speaker 3: the top. It's phase three. I'm pretty sure everyone besides
26:23
Speaker 3: the lane has used a reaction.
26:24
Speaker 2: Yeah.
26:25
Speaker 3: Ye, then we're back up to the top in a
26:27
Speaker 3: new round. Everything resets.
26:29
Speaker 1: We all just spend a minute with our eyes darting around.
26:35
Speaker 3: Twitching. He's gonna do what swift shots turn. She runs,
26:41
Speaker 3: jumps out the window and falls towards the ground.
26:45
Speaker 1: I would like to react to trap her.
26:47
Speaker 2: We both have this because she's within your house.
26:51
Speaker 4: So yeah, and I'll I think I would be helping
26:54
Speaker 4: here in that situation with my reaction.
26:56
Speaker 3: You can do either. You can wait and roll your own,
27:00
Speaker 3: or you can help her.
27:02
Speaker 1: Thank you. As she runs and jumps, my lightning whip
27:05
Speaker 1: shoots out and grabs her around the ankle.
27:07
Speaker 3: She's gonna roll ready plus her phasing.
27:10
Speaker 1: All right, do I roll ready plus whip.
27:13
Speaker 2: Or you have you have to roll mite plus mite
27:16
Speaker 2: plus whip plus clue plus six seven seven six seven.
27:24
Speaker 2: We did it, welcome. She gets nine, So you guys
27:31
Speaker 2: beat her by quite a bit. I thought you meant
27:35
Speaker 2: you got one. So it was we got a total
27:38
Speaker 2: of seven.
27:39
Speaker 4: No, no, I got plus plus even.
27:44
Speaker 2: She leaps out the window.
27:47
Speaker 3: A lightning whip and then a coil of paper grabs
27:50
Speaker 3: her ankle and she slams downward into the brick wall
27:55
Speaker 3: of the building, and the two of you are dragged
27:58
Speaker 3: towards the window. You put your feet up against the
28:02
Speaker 3: window to leverage, and you're holding her there.
28:04
Speaker 2: Stay here. You have been brainwashed by the mayor. Yeah,
28:09
Speaker 2: stop being brainwashed. She looks up at you, Quanta, just
28:13
Speaker 2: join me, sister, you said.
28:16
Speaker 1: It, Why don't you join me?
28:17
Speaker 2: I don't. There's no nah.
28:20
Speaker 3: The day people have been oppressed. It's our turn to rule.
28:24
Speaker 3: What Rachel? Your turn? Rachel doesn't know how far this
28:27
Speaker 3: person can shoot, right, Rachel's gonna go like to like
28:30
Speaker 3: the opposite corner of the building from where her apartment is.
28:34
Speaker 3: Move three more l's and I'm still flying up. So
28:38
Speaker 3: I'm like, we're like getting real high but also going
28:41
Speaker 3: in a weird angle. I'm just like, we'll well, we'll
28:45
Speaker 3: talk in a second. I think you might be able
28:48
Speaker 3: to help us. Yeah, okay, you're getting me pretty high here,
28:51
Speaker 3: just hold on. Yeah, I don't love being this high.
28:54
Speaker 3: You know, I'm a ground cop. I do crop stuff
28:56
Speaker 3: on the ground. Understood, Man, You're in good hands. Quanti
29:00
Speaker 3: your turn.
29:01
Speaker 1: How how many l's away did she fall?
29:02
Speaker 3: She's still within your al. You guys trapped her within
29:04
Speaker 3: your al? Okay, but she's just dangling outside.
29:07
Speaker 1: Okay. I will attack her through the whips just to
29:11
Speaker 1: try to knock her unconscious with that.
29:13
Speaker 2: Yeah great, not with precision roll damage. I rolled a
29:17
Speaker 2: night out a D eight, so that's nine.
29:20
Speaker 3: She's has to defend again with her phasing, trying to
29:23
Speaker 3: just let the energy d let the energy run through her.
29:28
Speaker 2: We're looking for that Max D Live.
29:31
Speaker 1: I know that that's a monster truck because of hanging
29:33
Speaker 1: out with toddlers.
29:35
Speaker 2: Nice, I didn't know that. I think it's.
29:41
Speaker 1: Short for max destruction.
29:44
Speaker 2: Could be wrong in max destruction? Name are we the
29:48
Speaker 2: max destructionists? I'm not in the room. We can have
29:54
Speaker 2: a quorum without him.
29:56
Speaker 3: She defends for five. Okay, so she takes four damage. Yes,
30:00
Speaker 3: it zaps her, even though some of it does face
30:02
Speaker 3: through her. Ah, you have your own power, sister, We
30:07
Speaker 3: could use.
30:07
Speaker 2: It to help people. I don't know what you're talking about.
30:10
Speaker 2: The day people have been oppressed.
30:12
Speaker 3: We can help if we're in charge. Peepe, your turn.
30:15
Speaker 4: Time to peepee. I'm gonna do what I do best,
30:19
Speaker 4: hid baby. I want to disappear into the paper that's
30:22
Speaker 4: wrapped around her leg.
30:24
Speaker 2: WHOA got it? You disappear sneaky. Do you need a
30:28
Speaker 2: sneak check here for that?
30:30
Speaker 3: Yes, thank you, You're just so good at sneaking. I
30:32
Speaker 3: know what'd you get?
30:33
Speaker 2: Thirteen?
30:34
Speaker 3: Okay, she'll roll a sense check. Yeah, you're you're hidden
30:37
Speaker 3: from her. She's going to use the utility action just
30:40
Speaker 3: to use her phasing powers, not again to phase through
30:45
Speaker 3: your holds on her angle, so she just continues to fall.
30:48
Speaker 8: We have to contest that. Yes, absolutely, so just be
30:51
Speaker 8: whiplus might again? Yep, and paper plus might now that
30:56
Speaker 8: you are the paper. Yes, and the paper she's rolling
30:59
Speaker 8: street smarts to like get out of this bind plus
31:03
Speaker 8: her phasing.
31:04
Speaker 2: I rolled it eight five eight wa.
31:08
Speaker 3: Yeah, state cry no so on a contested check.
31:14
Speaker 2: Roll again, try again, tie you try probably same roll
31:25
Speaker 2: six seven. We did it for you. I hate it.
31:31
Speaker 2: We're doing that.
31:35
Speaker 3: She phases out of your whip. Your whip is no
31:37
Speaker 3: longer holding her, but Jason, who has become paper wrapped
31:42
Speaker 3: around her ankle, remains.
31:45
Speaker 2: These are nice boots, paper beats, robot. Let me go,
31:52
Speaker 2: Let me go.
31:53
Speaker 6: Chel, you're all right. Richel is pretty far up. We're
31:58
Speaker 6: gonna I'm just gonna down. Just make sure that I
32:04
Speaker 6: don't see anyone shooting at us, and then just to
32:08
Speaker 6: be safe, I am going to Can I charge up
32:14
Speaker 6: for a defensive power, like I'm charging up my power blast.
32:19
Speaker 6: I don't know if I'll use it offensively if I
32:21
Speaker 6: see a head poke out, or defensively if I see
32:23
Speaker 6: a beam coming in.
32:25
Speaker 2: But is that a thing? Can I charge up?
32:27
Speaker 3: There is no way to charge up a defensive power.
32:29
Speaker 3: You can charge up your own resilience.
32:32
Speaker 2: You'd steal up resilience.
32:36
Speaker 6: I think Jamir has been working on making multiple flight stars.
32:41
Speaker 6: So I think, knowing that we have a arranged attacker
32:46
Speaker 6: behind us, Jamir is going to pause the flight turned
32:50
Speaker 6: back here we go and just start tossing out like
32:58
Speaker 6: frisbees more night stars below us to create some cover.
33:14
Speaker 3: Yeah, awesome, you fully cover the l you're in from
33:19
Speaker 3: the attacker beneath you.
33:20
Speaker 2: Cool, So do I roll for that?
33:21
Speaker 1: Right?
33:22
Speaker 2: Yes?
33:22
Speaker 6: So might plus the power power is from flight star. Yes,
33:28
Speaker 6: but my might is a D twenty. That's the nine.
33:33
Speaker 6: Not great, but still it's something.
33:35
Speaker 2: Yeah, there's nine hp barrier around so really good.
33:38
Speaker 1: That's really significant. The babble battlers quanti or no, I
33:44
Speaker 1: hate it? Oh yeah, I'm gonna I'm gonna reach for
33:49
Speaker 1: the paper. It's the it's your suit paper, so the
33:52
Speaker 1: venum placed. Do you want to team up?
33:55
Speaker 2: Hells good?
33:56
Speaker 1: Yeah too, I'm gonna use the energy to attack again
34:00
Speaker 1: anti team up, because we use energy to team up
34:03
Speaker 1: as well.
34:03
Speaker 2: Yes, yeah, so it'd be two from me.
34:05
Speaker 1: Spend that energy to do my control electricity zapper through
34:09
Speaker 1: the paper, the vinem paper this time.
34:11
Speaker 3: Awesome, roll y'all's damage. I'll give you a plus one
34:15
Speaker 3: to team up.
34:16
Speaker 1: Coolness, all right, nice, that's a six for me.
34:20
Speaker 3: That's a six for me twelve. She's already reacted, so
34:24
Speaker 3: she can't defend.
34:25
Speaker 2: Ooh, it's good.
34:27
Speaker 3: She's just rolling her resilience, which is a D six.
34:29
Speaker 3: She has ten HP left.
34:33
Speaker 2: Johnny rolled the one.
34:35
Speaker 3: I rolled a one. I showed a one to Ethan,
34:37
Speaker 3: which means I rolled one.
34:41
Speaker 2: I trust you when it's good for us.
34:44
Speaker 3: Showed it to Staph, showed it to Ben. She rolled one.
34:46
Speaker 3: She reseals for zero. This shock goes through or she
34:50
Speaker 3: cannot phase through this pain and she is unconscious.
34:57
Speaker 1: Nice I start pulling the fans him and Swift shot
35:01
Speaker 1: up into the apartment.
35:03
Speaker 3: At this point, you rigel, you see that the fighting
35:07
Speaker 3: has ended. They're pulling Swift shot up and.
35:10
Speaker 6: Well, maybe maybe I'd hear that through the yeah ship
35:13
Speaker 6: because I'm pretty high in this.
35:16
Speaker 1: Rachel, where are you over?
35:19
Speaker 6: I'm I'm up here with a lane. We're above the roof.
35:22
Speaker 6: I have some cover created. Is everything? Do you need
35:25
Speaker 6: my help down there?
35:27
Speaker 1: No to use your kind of speak. Target is neutralized over.
35:32
Speaker 4: Also, what do you guys think about the name shock
35:36
Speaker 4: paper Fisters.
35:37
Speaker 2: That's awesome. That sounds like a fun card game. We'll
35:42
Speaker 2: be down in a minute. Okay, we can make it. Oh,
35:44
Speaker 2: we could make a card. I could make it. I'm
35:46
Speaker 2: gonna do it right now, starting your card game. May
35:49
Speaker 2: I officer? May I call you Elaane? Yeah, that's fine.
35:55
Speaker 2: The threat to you have, at least this one has
35:59
Speaker 2: been taken care of. Yeah damn. Yeah, I hope.
36:02
Speaker 6: So let's let's go and me and my partners colleagues,
36:08
Speaker 6: I have some questions for you.
36:09
Speaker 3: Great, Yeah, let's chat. You see at this point, those
36:13
Speaker 3: of you close to the window and rigel. As you
36:15
Speaker 3: guys come down, you see Dirk rolling up on a
36:19
Speaker 3: big old Hofer motorcycle like Harley like shopper handlebars in
36:26
Speaker 3: the cool guy. Yeah, I'm gonna be above his head
36:31
Speaker 3: to reach him.
36:31
Speaker 2: Not in his dark blade outfit.
36:34
Speaker 3: He's just wearing like a regular regular guy clothes and sunglasses.
36:40
Speaker 2: Oh what night, it's daytime. It's it's mid morning.
36:45
Speaker 1: Still so cool.
36:47
Speaker 2: Should we be getting frunch? Hey? Hey, is she still here?
36:51
Speaker 1: You don't need to shout, we're right here.
36:53
Speaker 2: Sorry, sorry, come on up.
36:54
Speaker 1: I would like to like, as we pull her hand,
36:56
Speaker 1: bend down, put my hand on her temple, like, put
37:00
Speaker 1: my thumb and pinky across her temples. And try to
37:04
Speaker 1: see if I can discern whether someone has tampered with
37:08
Speaker 1: her or if it's just been like educational. My hunches
37:14
Speaker 1: it's the ladder just because she was impressionable. But I
37:18
Speaker 1: just want to check.
37:19
Speaker 3: Dirk looks left and right down the street, doesn't see anybody,
37:23
Speaker 3: and does a super leap up into the window and
37:25
Speaker 3: lands perfectly past the sill.
37:29
Speaker 1: The window sill, the breeze blows all of our hair
37:33
Speaker 1: back my hood. I don't have hair.
37:37
Speaker 2: You're down checking out swift shot.
37:39
Speaker 1: Ye.
37:39
Speaker 3: Dirk touches your shoulder and just says, Quantum, I'm sorry.
37:43
Speaker 3: I spoke in anger and I should have been more patient.
37:49
Speaker 1: No, I think it was justified, and I'm sorry, and
37:57
Speaker 1: you shouldn't have to be patient for someone this important
38:00
Speaker 1: in your life.
38:02
Speaker 3: Well, I just care about her. Quant to roll a
38:05
Speaker 3: sense check here, This is an epic check. I'm rolling
38:08
Speaker 3: a D twenty and I.
38:10
Speaker 2: Rolled a twelve number. I rolled seventeen.
38:17
Speaker 1: Okay, that's a better number.
38:20
Speaker 3: You move through this person's electrical pathways.
38:25
Speaker 2: Your power rarely.
38:27
Speaker 3: Moves into the realm of the spiritual. It's a very
38:31
Speaker 3: corporeal and scientific understanding of the body. It doesn't seem
38:36
Speaker 3: as though she's been tampered with. It doesn't seem that
38:40
Speaker 3: anything is out of order, but there is I think,
38:44
Speaker 3: a door to you in the realm of the spiritual
38:47
Speaker 3: with this person that you can't really grasp at.
38:53
Speaker 1: She seems in her right mind. There's so much I
38:55
Speaker 1: don't understand, though.
38:57
Speaker 3: Dirk flips her over to her back, goes like starts
39:03
Speaker 3: working at the nape of her neck.
39:06
Speaker 1: As the mayor just been putting blood in her.
39:08
Speaker 3: Yes, and he pulls like a little trigger and the
39:11
Speaker 3: blood leaks out.
39:12
Speaker 2: Oh. I just don't want her to wake up for
39:14
Speaker 2: a time that our whole fourteen but whole number fourteen
39:19
Speaker 2: of the seventeen day holes.
39:22
Speaker 8: He's been talking to Dad, right, Yes, great, Yes, I'm glad.
39:29
Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm glad. I'm glad. I'm going to take her
39:35
Speaker 3: back to the nest and perhaps my brother and I
39:38
Speaker 3: will all wake up and we'll wake her up and
39:40
Speaker 3: we'll see what happens.
39:41
Speaker 2: I'll wait for you, of course.
39:43
Speaker 1: Thanks. I I don't know how deep her allegiance to
39:49
Speaker 1: the Mayor goes. And if she saw the nest and
39:52
Speaker 1: knew where it was and escaped, that would be bad.
39:56
Speaker 3: For us, certainly, we'll walk down the tubes before we
39:59
Speaker 3: do anything.
40:00
Speaker 1: Okay, thank you, and I again, I am sorry, but
40:05
Speaker 1: I'm glad that I like gesture between the two of us.
40:08
Speaker 2: We're okay, well, thank you.
40:11
Speaker 1: And he looks so fucking cool.
40:13
Speaker 2: Your motorcycle rules. Yeah, doing like a midlife crisis thing.
40:17
Speaker 3: Oh okay, no, no, this is this was kind of
40:20
Speaker 3: my secret identity before the bikes are cooler now, so
40:24
Speaker 3: I bought one awesome sweet Yeah. You know, been getting
40:29
Speaker 3: out playing playing a lot of pool.
40:34
Speaker 2: I just pursed my lips and nod. Yeah.
40:37
Speaker 3: You got to meet people somehow, you know. Everybody says
40:41
Speaker 3: you're so big, you know, and I'm just like, I'm
40:44
Speaker 3: just guy playing pool.
40:46
Speaker 1: That's your secret identity, guy playing pool.
40:49
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean I'm working on it.
40:51
Speaker 1: I mean you look like a cool guy playing pool.
40:53
Speaker 2: Yeah.
40:53
Speaker 3: Thanks, I'll see you guys back at home. He leaps
40:59
Speaker 3: out the window with his sister on his shoe.
41:01
Speaker 6: Oh as he leaves out, yeah, RILs like floating down,
41:04
Speaker 6: trying to go slower. I see Dirk leave, I see
41:07
Speaker 6: the unconscious swish. Was like, okay, that's that's resolved, and
41:14
Speaker 6: I'll land back in her apartment and set a lane
41:18
Speaker 6: down gently.
41:20
Speaker 4: Her apartment's just like covered wall to floor like ceiling.
41:23
Speaker 4: Everything is just covered in paper mache basically. At this point,
41:27
Speaker 4: Cinge marks.
41:28
Speaker 3: Her paper and paper created by the phantom, which I
41:32
Speaker 3: imagine is just a little bit gooey.
41:35
Speaker 2: Phantom, Can you can you clean this place up? Just
41:38
Speaker 2: a dad? I could please? We got well, we've got
41:42
Speaker 2: all th stuff to do. It's fine. I don't think
41:44
Speaker 2: we need to have a conversation. Fine.
41:48
Speaker 4: I clenched my fist and all the paper like crumples
41:52
Speaker 4: into one ball, and I just like put it inside
41:55
Speaker 4: the trench coat sloops in.
41:58
Speaker 2: Later.
41:59
Speaker 3: Thanks great, Elaine just says, hey, this is so weird,
42:04
Speaker 3: but but I'm glad you guys showed up when you did.
42:08
Speaker 1: I mean, shit, we seem to be doing a lot
42:11
Speaker 1: of that lately.
42:13
Speaker 2: Shit. Indeed, we were looking for you though, yes, yeah, okay,
42:17
Speaker 2: so yeah, why do you show up? Why do you?
42:19
Speaker 3: How do you find my place? What do you need
42:23
Speaker 3: from me? Well, we're working to try and handle the mayor.
42:30
Speaker 3: We were told from a reliable, non mob source that
42:35
Speaker 3: you might be the the person to talk to Ah.
42:39
Speaker 6: I see his lies are his lies are only increasing
42:43
Speaker 6: and getting bolder. The plans he has for this city
42:46
Speaker 6: are dastardly wicked.
42:49
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, anything you have to say about the mayor,
42:52
Speaker 3: you're probably preaching to the choir. She swings her box
42:58
Speaker 3: around that she held with shooting up with you, Jimer,
43:02
Speaker 3: and she says, this is anything and everything you'd need.
43:09
Speaker 2: What evidence? Yeah? All kinds?
43:13
Speaker 5: Uh?
43:15
Speaker 3: I mean lots of ways. You heard about me from Cordoula.
43:19
Speaker 3: I assume your non mob source.
43:23
Speaker 6: We can't disclose sources to protect the innocent or the
43:30
Speaker 6: guilty in different ways.
43:32
Speaker 1: Right, I just look at the guys. She's good.
43:35
Speaker 3: Let me.
43:36
Speaker 2: I don't.
43:36
Speaker 3: I don't want to get too personal with you guys.
43:39
Speaker 3: I don't know who the fuck you guys are.
43:41
Speaker 2: That's the masks.
43:43
Speaker 3: But uh, I have enough reason to hate the mayor
43:48
Speaker 3: and his milk. I got called in as a young
43:52
Speaker 3: beat cop to my captain's office. He started making moves
43:57
Speaker 3: on me, saying I've never tasted yellow before. You see,
44:04
Speaker 3: Elaine is an Asian woman.
44:07
Speaker 2: Oh discussing? Yeah, horrible, right.
44:12
Speaker 3: I naturally kicked him in the nuts and knocked his
44:17
Speaker 3: head in with a medal that he had on his desk,
44:23
Speaker 3: and they they handled it all internally, you know, they
44:26
Speaker 3: didn't want to make a stink out of it. They
44:31
Speaker 3: sent him over to Koso and they promoted me to detective.
44:36
Speaker 2: I'm sorry that happened.
44:38
Speaker 3: Koso was his name, ron No, not that idiot. His
44:45
Speaker 3: name turns out was Thomas Stephenson. He's a brother. There's
44:52
Speaker 3: a lot of them running around.
44:54
Speaker 1: I'm getting that vibe.
44:57
Speaker 3: More I learned about the at least this city, the
45:00
Speaker 3: more I think maybe the mob isn't the one who's
45:04
Speaker 3: doing the wrong.
45:05
Speaker 2: There's a lot of wrong to go around unfortunately.
45:09
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean, I obviously have to take umbrage with that.
45:13
Speaker 3: Me and a few others close to me try to
45:17
Speaker 3: do real work. And this she pats it is the
45:21
Speaker 3: culmination of that. We got. We got hidden audio recorders
45:27
Speaker 3: in the mayor's office. What in the Kono Police precinct.
45:32
Speaker 3: We have cameras only image not video style, plenty of
45:40
Speaker 3: cops working undercover. We use the shoot as a place
45:44
Speaker 3: to meet smart. We've done what we can. And as
45:50
Speaker 3: soon as the mayor pulled that bullshit on TV, I said,
45:58
Speaker 3: I gotta get my I just gotta go public. I've
46:02
Speaker 3: tried to go through the courts, damn it. I've tried
46:06
Speaker 3: any wrung of the justice ladder, I get beat, A
46:09
Speaker 3: piece of evidence will disappear, a judge will get sick,
46:12
Speaker 3: a jury will get bought, a witness will overdose, on
46:14
Speaker 3: and on it goes, and I haven't been able to
46:17
Speaker 3: pin this guy. So I'm just after this morning, I'm
46:22
Speaker 3: going to go public. I was going to take it
46:23
Speaker 3: to the tower.
46:25
Speaker 1: What if we could do you one better?
46:29
Speaker 2: And what do you in mind?
46:30
Speaker 1: I mean, what if we could connect you to every
46:35
Speaker 1: single television, every single radio in the city. Immediately he
46:40
Speaker 1: he blasted out his lives to everyone, We blast out
46:43
Speaker 1: your truth to everyone.
46:44
Speaker 2: How could you do that?
46:47
Speaker 1: I make the radio in her room repeat what she
46:50
Speaker 1: just said?
46:50
Speaker 2: How could you do that? How could you do that?
46:53
Speaker 3: Okay, that's cool, that's very fucking cool. Yeah we could
46:57
Speaker 3: use that.
46:58
Speaker 6: Yeah, let's we're gonna help you get this out.
47:03
Speaker 1: Okay, we need to And to me, it does feel
47:06
Speaker 1: urgent after what he's told. We have the actual list
47:09
Speaker 1: of the real council.
47:11
Speaker 2: Yeah, so do I She DAPs her box.
47:14
Speaker 1: Good good, I'm glad it's in more than one place.
47:17
Speaker 2: Yeah.
47:17
Speaker 3: The fucking bullshit of a council he revealed.
47:22
Speaker 2: I mean, I wish it was those people. But those
47:24
Speaker 2: people seem nice. Hopefully they're okay. Yeah, I'm sure they're not.
47:30
Speaker 2: Let me ask you this, Elaine.
47:33
Speaker 3: If this information goes public on the airwaves through the newspaper,
47:38
Speaker 3: is there anything that can connect it.
47:40
Speaker 2: Back to you? Well, the only I don't know.
47:44
Speaker 3: The only thing that I could think is that there
47:47
Speaker 3: was an assassin just here trying to kill me.
47:50
Speaker 2: And we know that assassin works with the mayor. Yea,
47:53
Speaker 2: so he must know. Yeah, they must know.
47:56
Speaker 3: I mean, like I said, I've taken him to court
47:58
Speaker 3: so many times and nothing come of it, So they
48:00
Speaker 3: must know about me. I don't know why they haven't
48:02
Speaker 3: pulled the trigger yet.
48:03
Speaker 1: Doing that to the radio and her saying that, now,
48:05
Speaker 1: I want a sense in the room. If there's any she's.
48:09
Speaker 3: Bugged, Yeah, go ahead and make a sense check. It's
48:12
Speaker 3: a simple check. I'm only a D six or old
48:14
Speaker 3: to three world. There's no bugs in here.
48:18
Speaker 1: Well, he's he's not listening on you here at least
48:21
Speaker 1: that's good.
48:22
Speaker 2: That's good.
48:22
Speaker 3: I'm assuming you know that because if your oh yeah, okay,
48:27
Speaker 3: you're good, maybe.
48:28
Speaker 4: We do as a contingency want to put you somewhere
48:32
Speaker 4: safer than here.
48:34
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, I mean that'd be great. I could just
48:38
Speaker 3: try to shack up in the precinct for a minute. Yeah,
48:41
Speaker 3: if they got gods, if you think that's safe. If
48:43
Speaker 3: you if that's where the officers you trust are, we
48:46
Speaker 3: can escort you there.
48:48
Speaker 2: Yeah.
48:48
Speaker 3: I mean the Mayor's got balls. But to attack a
48:51
Speaker 3: police precinct and kill a bunch of cops, I don't
48:55
Speaker 3: think you'd do that.
48:56
Speaker 2: But who knows? That would be dark for I do
49:01
Speaker 2: have maybe a place in it, a place I know
49:05
Speaker 2: with a person who's got a gun, who knows you
49:09
Speaker 2: safe place? What was that? Why don't you stay with
49:17
Speaker 2: a friend.
49:17
Speaker 3: I have a bunch of friends, but I don't know
49:21
Speaker 3: if any of them will be safe.
49:23
Speaker 2: You know? What about Page? Right? How do you know.
49:29
Speaker 3: Page and not? How do you know she's a friend
49:33
Speaker 3: of mine? How does she you'd know that? Phantom?
49:38
Speaker 1: Mm hmmm?
49:39
Speaker 2: Yeah, are you you're creeping on me? You're creeping on Page.
49:43
Speaker 3: Look, I felt every piece of paper in your whole apartment. Yeah, okay,
49:47
Speaker 3: a letter or two from Page. You can trust her, Yeah,
49:51
Speaker 3: but I don't want to put her in danger. What
49:54
Speaker 3: if that crazy assassin comes at me again?
49:57
Speaker 1: Yeah, you wouldn't want to put them both in danger.
49:59
Speaker 2: Right, fine, what's your ideas?
50:03
Speaker 6: I mean, I'm voting with the precinct if that's where
50:06
Speaker 6: she feels safest.
50:08
Speaker 2: Once we get this out, we'll escort you there, walk
50:11
Speaker 2: you in.
50:12
Speaker 1: Are we doing this now?
50:13
Speaker 2: Let's get this truth bomb detonated.
50:16
Speaker 3: Oh god, okay, But I mean if I'm going to
50:20
Speaker 3: be the one talking, obviously it can come back to me.
50:24
Speaker 6: If you're willing to do that. I mean, you, as
50:26
Speaker 6: an officer of the law, we get your blues on.
50:29
Speaker 6: That might especially maybe we get together a couple other
50:33
Speaker 6: officers stand behind you, you know, the people that have
50:35
Speaker 6: been working on this. That could be a powerful message.
50:39
Speaker 6: All right, let's do it.
50:43
Speaker 1: You're very brave.
50:44
Speaker 2: I mean, fuck it.
50:46
Speaker 3: At this point, it's like I thought maybe that it
50:49
Speaker 3: would all be enough, that he would hurt himself by
50:52
Speaker 3: not showing up, that this election cycle would breeze by.
50:55
Speaker 3: But after the shit he pulled this morning, I gotta
50:59
Speaker 3: make sure the people vote against him.
51:01
Speaker 2: I'm proud of you.
51:02
Speaker 3: Hell yeah, all right, what's the play here, guys? Precinct
51:06
Speaker 3: First to get more officer friends, is that the thought?
51:10
Speaker 1: Yeah?
51:11
Speaker 2: And then go to the news.
51:14
Speaker 1: Yeah, or we if you have a camera at the precinct.
51:16
Speaker 1: We could do it from there.
51:17
Speaker 2: Yeah, there's a camera there.
51:20
Speaker 1: I think I could connect everything from there.
51:22
Speaker 2: Okay, we'll try.
51:27
Speaker 3: You guys head to the precinct and Detective Elaine A.
51:31
Speaker 3: Kira walks in with her box. Did the three of
51:36
Speaker 3: you walk in with her?
51:37
Speaker 2: Yes?
51:38
Speaker 3: Yes, Trailed by the three heroes of New Babbel walking stairs,
51:47
Speaker 3: police dropping their donuts and their coffee.
51:51
Speaker 2: Slow motions, slow motions.
51:54
Speaker 3: I'm smoking indoors anize the donut box.
52:00
Speaker 1: Garf whips behind me and slap somebody in the face,
52:02
Speaker 1: who looks delighted that it happens.
52:07
Speaker 3: True fantasy here, guys. She gathers a few of the
52:12
Speaker 3: people that she feels like she can trust and goes
52:15
Speaker 3: to the room where there's a camera. Well, Quantum, let's
52:18
Speaker 3: see if we can hook up everything.
52:20
Speaker 1: Okay, yeah, I would just like to connect live to
52:23
Speaker 1: every radio, audio to every radio, and the image and
52:26
Speaker 1: audio to every screen, and maybe the text to every cube,
52:33
Speaker 1: the transcript.
52:34
Speaker 3: Sure to every cube that people have. This is gonna
52:37
Speaker 3: be a big check. This is huge for Quanta. This
52:40
Speaker 3: is the biggest thing she's ever tried to do. This
52:41
Speaker 3: is a godly check yeah, plus a D four and
52:47
Speaker 3: this will be you know, you know what I know.
52:50
Speaker 2: What you want, but I don't Yeah, I don't know
52:52
Speaker 2: if it.
52:53
Speaker 1: Is coax it's not co we're coaxing the people.
52:56
Speaker 2: No facts the effect that this electicity.
53:03
Speaker 3: If you were trying to do a check on the
53:06
Speaker 3: impact this would have on the people that is coached.
53:09
Speaker 2: This is knowledge technological Jamiir. Yeah, Jason.
53:18
Speaker 3: The two of you look at Quanta as she begins
53:21
Speaker 3: to channel all the electricity in the city to try
53:25
Speaker 3: to push out this message.
53:28
Speaker 2: Is there any way.
53:31
Speaker 3: Any way the two of you can think to use
53:33
Speaker 3: your powers to add a help to this.
53:35
Speaker 4: I mean I could potentially, I don't know all the
53:38
Speaker 4: wires maybe if they're well organized they're labeled, But other
53:41
Speaker 4: than that, my only other thought is get up high
53:44
Speaker 4: to with paper and stars to try and like get
53:48
Speaker 4: lightning to supercharge you.
53:50
Speaker 3: Oh shit, Jamiir's never done this before, but once per rest,
53:56
Speaker 3: Now that I'm level three, I can pick the hour
54:00
Speaker 3: that my magic blast does. Yes, and Jamiir is going
54:05
Speaker 3: to pick lightning and charge of Quanta with his magical
54:13
Speaker 3: blast as that's great.
54:16
Speaker 2: That helps for sure. Phantom.
54:18
Speaker 3: I think you are at most a low help here, Yeah,
54:23
Speaker 3: a low roll.
54:23
Speaker 2: Help. Let me give you an extra juice, Quanta? Give me? Yeah?
54:28
Speaker 1: Or like, have you read books about how if.
54:32
Speaker 2: There's one lying round, I could read it real quick.
54:34
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, a low roll from you for your help.
54:42
Speaker 2: Jason, right, what.
54:43
Speaker 1: Are you rolling versus this twenty and four? I've got
54:45
Speaker 1: two D six's.
54:46
Speaker 2: I'm just adding a D six here now? So am
54:49
Speaker 2: I adding my magic blast? Yes? Okay, what tie is that? Jamir?
54:55
Speaker 2: That's a D eight for me. Do you guys want
54:58
Speaker 2: to know what I rolled? I got a seven, I
55:02
Speaker 2: got a nine. I got a four on my D four.
55:04
Speaker 2: I rolled a two on my D twenty I rolled
55:08
Speaker 2: a seven. Oh yeah, we win.
55:13
Speaker 1: We blasted it.
55:15
Speaker 2: Zip zap zup. Oh that's a good name for a team.
55:19
Speaker 5: Zap up rls like come high into Quanta's back, just
55:28
Speaker 5: like plugging and unplugging wires.
55:32
Speaker 1: I float off the floor.
55:33
Speaker 2: Yeah you let me lightning.
55:35
Speaker 1: Rachel's lightning blasting around me wires.
55:39
Speaker 2: Getting to the beat of the techno, it starts to play.
55:46
Speaker 2: Elaine just says, quiet down, you guys, right, sorry, we
55:50
Speaker 2: will do this quietly. Story did you hack in? Amen?
55:57
Speaker 2: She's it turn on that camera.
56:00
Speaker 1: The on air light thing comes on everywhere in the city.
56:05
Speaker 3: Quantum projects this message from Elaine Akira to the entire city.
56:11
Speaker 3: She begins with her own story, like she did with you,
56:15
Speaker 3: how something was handled internally, her story of sexual assault.
56:19
Speaker 3: She then continues down a long list of grievances from
56:24
Speaker 3: the mayor's office. She lifts up images she puts in
56:31
Speaker 3: the little disc jockey play tape thing, other tape messages,
56:37
Speaker 3: the VHS's yes, the VHSS that give evidence for a
56:42
Speaker 3: number of crimes of the mayor's office. Illegal gambling, illegal prostitution, murder, obstruction,
56:50
Speaker 3: accessory to murder, all sorts of things.
56:54
Speaker 1: I could feel panicked fingers trying to shut this off
56:58
Speaker 1: throughout the city by you back time you little bursts
57:03
Speaker 1: of electricity, shocking people's hands off of their control board.
57:06
Speaker 4: Everyone in the police precinct hair is standing up slightly.
57:10
Speaker 3: Elaine goes over the current schemes and plans that you found, Jamir.
57:17
Speaker 3: She holds up a paper incredibly similar, maybe the same
57:22
Speaker 3: kind of the same copied paper that talked about the
57:26
Speaker 3: suppressing of voting rights, rigging elections, scheme to make small
57:32
Speaker 3: business a legal nightmare. She gives evidence of the people's
57:37
Speaker 3: wealth being hoarded by the mayor in his office despite
57:42
Speaker 3: the promises of services that are meant to be provided
57:46
Speaker 3: by the local government. She gives the images of the
57:51
Speaker 3: real city council, most of them scandalous in like just
57:56
Speaker 3: their fedora with the chain, like dancing with naked win
58:00
Speaker 3: and stuff like that. Not a pretty picture. The last
58:07
Speaker 3: tape she plays is an audio recording Jamiir in the
58:13
Speaker 3: Kono police precinct. Oh, Jamiir, you hear your own voice.
58:17
Speaker 2: It's okay, buddy, It's okay. We're gonna be okay. No,
58:24
Speaker 2: you hear the mayor's assistant. Why did you do? I
58:28
Speaker 2: told you everything? And she shoots your friend Taylor? Is there?
58:33
Speaker 3: Chief new beat cop Taylor Dennis was on patrol in
58:36
Speaker 3: Colorado South and was regrettably put down by some hoodlums
58:41
Speaker 3: trying to rob a bank.
58:42
Speaker 2: He dies a hero. That's real power. You have to
58:46
Speaker 2: relive this. If you tell a single soul what you
58:49
Speaker 2: heard or what you saw.
58:50
Speaker 3: In this room and what you saw on that paper
58:53
Speaker 3: and what you saw here. Now, I won't kill you,
59:00
Speaker 3: kill Taylor's poor family. Then I'll move to that little
59:04
Speaker 3: girlfriend of yours, Jackie Garcia. It's much easier, much more
59:09
Speaker 3: convenient for me to kill a cop than it.
59:12
Speaker 2: Is a shoot kid.
59:13
Speaker 3: It's hard, hard to get away with killing a shoot
59:16
Speaker 3: kid randomly, but cops style all the time. When that
59:23
Speaker 3: is over, Elaine says, people of New Babel, there's got
59:30
Speaker 3: to be changed, and they've set it up to where
59:33
Speaker 3: it's going to be hard. It's not going to be easy. Sure,
59:37
Speaker 3: we could all go vote, but then the city council
59:41
Speaker 3: isn't the farce of a city council you just saw
59:44
Speaker 3: this morning. It's men he has in his pocket, men
59:50
Speaker 3: that like their position of power, that are going to
59:52
Speaker 3: do anything to keep it. So they're going to vote
59:54
Speaker 3: against you. So it's not going to be easy whatever
59:56
Speaker 3: happens in a couple of weeks. But I'm going to
59:59
Speaker 3: fight it, and I'm asking you two as well. I'm
1:00:04
Speaker 3: Detective Elen Nakira, and my ass is out there now
1:00:11
Speaker 3: on the line.
1:00:13
Speaker 6: Rigel feels his feet carry him holding the piece of
1:00:18
Speaker 6: paper that we brought, and I enter the camera frame
1:00:24
Speaker 6: and say, and we the heroes of New Babels stand
1:00:28
Speaker 6: by this courageous soldier of truth to dispel more lies
1:00:34
Speaker 6: that were put out today I'm going to read the
1:00:37
Speaker 6: names of the real men who make up the shadow
1:00:42
Speaker 6: council seeking to destroy this glorious city. His hands shaking,
1:00:49
Speaker 6: Jamir unfolds the paper and I loudly read them out
1:00:55
Speaker 6: to camera. The real city council is post of Benjamin Schabrath,
1:01:02
Speaker 6: CEO of Schabrath Farms, Gary Stephenson, CEO of Stephenson Oil
1:01:10
Speaker 6: and cousin to the Mayor, George Olsen, the CEO of
1:01:16
Speaker 6: Clank Industries, Mitchell Nichols, the Silent Pope of the Catholic Church,
1:01:24
Speaker 6: Stephen Starr, the owner and head anchor of New Babel News,
1:01:29
Speaker 6: and Manny Ellington, the CEO of Ellington Electric. These are
1:01:37
Speaker 6: those that stand behind the mayor and that would hide
1:01:41
Speaker 6: behind ordinary citizens. The mayor paraded out before us all
1:01:45
Speaker 6: earlier today.
1:01:47
Speaker 2: Now you have the truth. New Babel.
1:01:51
Speaker 1: I'm gonna still buzzing with electricity and like crying lightning
1:01:56
Speaker 1: tears like an anime. Nice step around also in front
1:02:01
Speaker 1: of the camera. And we are those that stand with
1:02:05
Speaker 1: this city and want to see it better. Let's get
1:02:09
Speaker 1: these guys out of here.
1:02:11
Speaker 4: Paper Phantom's gonna float into frame. Put his hands on
1:02:15
Speaker 4: the shoulders of his friends. The paper list in Jamir's
1:02:19
Speaker 4: hands goes rigid, and the ordinary citizens of this city
1:02:25
Speaker 4: have us behind them. One piece of paper can easily
1:02:31
Speaker 4: be ripped, but you fold it upon itself enough times,
1:02:38
Speaker 4: it's unbreakable.
1:02:40
Speaker 3: At this You hear get down, get down, and the
1:02:44
Speaker 3: door to the room you're in is starting to try
1:02:47
Speaker 3: to be bashed down by police officers. You see other
1:02:51
Speaker 3: police officers tackle those police officers. You hear gunshots starting
1:02:56
Speaker 3: to go off. Elaine and the guys in here all
1:03:00
Speaker 3: pull their pistols out and start like moving it like,
1:03:03
Speaker 3: try to move quietly through the precinct, try to get
1:03:06
Speaker 3: you all out of here.
1:03:07
Speaker 2: What about you, Elaine, you said this place would be
1:03:10
Speaker 2: safe for you.
1:03:10
Speaker 3: I'll be fine, and she like shoots a different cop
1:03:14
Speaker 3: in the foot who's trying to like come and get her.
1:03:17
Speaker 3: It's chaos here as the cops on the mayor's side
1:03:23
Speaker 3: are starting to try to push.
1:03:26
Speaker 1: Seriously, we can get ourselves out just fine. I just
1:03:28
Speaker 1: need to know if we need to take you with us.
1:03:30
Speaker 3: Yeah, I think there's more of us here than there
1:03:33
Speaker 3: are them.
1:03:34
Speaker 1: Okay, we trust you. I'm I'm a Quanta. By the way,
1:03:37
Speaker 1: It's great to meet you.
1:03:39
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, I saw you guys in the news. It's
1:03:41
Speaker 2: all good.
1:03:42
Speaker 3: She shoots another copy. Yeah, Roger will throw out of
1:03:48
Speaker 3: magic Blast.
1:03:48
Speaker 2: I like shoot it, shoot it up.
1:03:51
Speaker 3: Yeah, you guys can can make a level of defense.
1:03:54
Speaker 3: As you get out of here, and where are you going?
1:04:03
Speaker 2: Oh it's about mid day, too late for brunch.
1:04:08
Speaker 1: No, yeah, you guys like sitting on the back of
1:04:12
Speaker 1: the the flight Star again. Yeah, I was connected to
1:04:16
Speaker 1: the whole grid.
1:04:18
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, what that feel like? That was awesome.
1:04:23
Speaker 1: I want to do it again.
1:04:25
Speaker 2: Whoa what? I just handed hand her a cigarette?
1:04:29
Speaker 1: Thanks?
1:04:35
Speaker 2: Your roll these yourself. Oh yeah that's actually no, hand'stol.
1:04:44
Speaker 1: That's so cool.
1:04:46
Speaker 3: As you all move, as we all reflect on the
1:04:50
Speaker 3: coolness of smoking hand rolled cigarettes. As you guys all
1:04:55
Speaker 3: think about how cool it is to smoke, you move
1:04:59
Speaker 3: over the which is rumbling. Something has changed. The people
1:05:08
Speaker 3: are having to decide who to believe and who to
1:05:13
Speaker 3: give power to. As you do this, As you get
1:05:19
Speaker 3: just past the Sass border, you see a group of
1:05:23
Speaker 3: kids who, due to the insanity of today, have been
1:05:30
Speaker 3: let out of school early. They're all headed towards home QUANTU.
1:05:35
Speaker 3: You specifically, you see a day child in this group
1:05:39
Speaker 3: smaller than the rest. That child, all of a sudden,
1:05:43
Speaker 3: their eyes go wide and white. They freeze up and
1:05:49
Speaker 3: go catatonic, entering their day state.
1:05:55
Speaker 2: Oh it's so crazy to grow up. Puberty is beautiful.
1:06:00
Speaker 3: As this child begins to have their day vision, the
1:06:03
Speaker 3: other children choose a dark path. One of them says, oh,
1:06:09
Speaker 3: I'll never know what we could do, and he's like this.
1:06:12
Speaker 2: Some of them start to pick up rocks.
1:06:15
Speaker 1: Okay, I'll see you guys at home. Strike down to
1:06:19
Speaker 1: the ground, beat.
1:06:20
Speaker 2: Up those kids. Whatever she does, I trust her.
1:06:26
Speaker 4: I'm not no, I wasn't saying in a bad way. No,
1:06:29
Speaker 4: we can stay and watch.
1:06:31
Speaker 6: That feels weird, but I mean okay.
1:06:39
Speaker 3: Quanta strikes down, Rigel and Jason hover over the three
1:06:43
Speaker 3: heroes of New Babbel, taking a moment for the smallest
1:06:48
Speaker 3: of the city.
1:06:49
Speaker 2: What do you do? Quanta?

Speaker 1: Hey, kids, I see what you're planning to do here
1:06:55
Speaker 1: and think you better. I'll just go home.
1:06:57
Speaker 3: Who you can't tell us what to do? They start
1:07:01
Speaker 3: aiming their rocks at you fucking teens.
1:07:04
Speaker 1: Yeah, okay, you're you gonna throw them at me, that's fine,
1:07:07
Speaker 1: but you're not gonna hit me.
1:07:10
Speaker 2: Yeah, how do you know?
1:07:12
Speaker 1: Because I'm quanta.

1:09:36
Speaker 3: green outfit that is one piece, vines wrapped around them
