Right, let me run to the bathroom.
0:01
I'll be right back. No, sorry.
0:02
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Riley.
0:04
We have to make a plan here, just me and you right now.
0:08
So when Matt comes back, which, which let's be honest, we're
0:13
probably going to have to save him from our own war camps here
0:16
in the US because he's going to stand up against the, like,
0:20
racism. Good for him, good for him.
0:22
Can we both make a patch right now that we both just beat on
0:26
him for a little bit? 100% I'm in.
0:32
We were talking about this and he's just like, they're going to
0:36
hate me. So much.
0:41
He wasn't wrong. Yeah.
0:43
Not wrong at all. The the 4th 1 is going to be the
0:47
most brutal. I'm looking forward to that.
0:49
One during that last one I don't understand.
0:54
Evie was like he's like, how did you and your team like like
0:58
attack the Japanese? Then it'd be fair.
1:00
Then he could mention us, but that's.
1:01
The 4th one, that's the 4th 1. He's going to hog all the glory.
1:06
He's going to hog all the glory. He couldn't save himself from a
1:12
prisoner of war. Camp WE.
1:13
Had to do a squirrel into the woods.
1:16
Squirrel into the woods. He he he did next to nothing
1:22
when he invaded the fucking. Next to nothing.
1:24
He fuck all, the only thing he did was heal the world after the
1:31
shadow. He took down a bunch of zeros
1:33
with some pretty good arrow of magical.
1:35
That doesn't matter. What matters is that we didn't
1:38
get credit. You haven't gotten credit yet?
1:41
Honestly, I don't. Want he's going, he's going to
1:43
slander us. He's going to slander us, right?
1:45
And he's going to say, oh, they were in the background while I
1:47
was taking the forefront. I know what it's like because I
1:50
know what these these army things about.
1:52
He's the Golden Boy of America now.
1:54
I was the prisoner of war, I met a girlfriend at a POW camp and
2:01
now I make my friends babysitter for me.
2:07
Yeah, exactly. I'm actually going to beat him
2:10
fully physically. Rex is going to beat him up.
2:14
Cordelia will guard the door. She will not let it be unlocked.
2:19
Last time on the Multiverse collective I went to investigate
2:23
some strange readings in the ruins.
2:25
Next thing I know I get attacked by these weird robots and find
2:29
myself falling through ripping reality.
2:31
I come out on the other side and there's this pristine looking
2:34
Zord coming at me like a freight train.
2:37
We fall, but it turns out he was a friendly guy named Rex,
2:40
serving under the command of Captain Cordelia Cunningham.
2:43
She reminds me of Harriet. Turns out it's 1943, but not my
2:49
1943. There's no machine empire.
2:52
Instead they have this loser artist in Germany that decided
2:55
to break up was a good reason for a genocidal crash out.
2:58
You can feel the grid like I have in 10 years, surging all
3:02
around me, and I can feel them while they're right beside me
3:06
again. I'm still not sure what's going
3:08
to happen, but they're letting me take a shower and we'll work
3:11
from there in the morning. God, a real shower.
3:44
So we find ourselves and everybody's sitting around a
3:46
table in the diner car. Declan has been freshly bathed,
3:51
clean clothes much less smelly. For.
3:55
The first time in years. I don't think he even knew how
3:58
bad he smelled until suddenly there was soap nearby.
4:01
Yeah, I think the pants probably stood up by themselves when you
4:04
took them off. Yeah, that's how he gets into
4:08
them. I put my pants on both legs at a
4:13
time. He just jumps out of the top of
4:16
the sword do. You feel better, Declan?
4:23
Was it Declanola? Yeah.
4:26
Do you feel better now you've showered shit, shaved, Wow,
4:29
slept, eaten. Oh, it is fair.
4:32
He would have shaved too, probably because that scruff has
4:35
definitely been working for years.
4:41
Yeah, thank you so much. But it's.
4:44
Cool. It's cool.
4:45
I really don't have a lot of amenities where I stay well,
4:53
which is the box on the side of my I almost said Esther.
4:59
Oh my Zord. OK, OK.
5:03
Zord, you call it a Zord. Cordier is taking frantic notes.
5:07
Yeah, so yours is powered by. Me.
5:13
Hard drives. This like Rex opens.
5:18
He's like, what? What did I say he was wearing
5:19
again? Like his flight suit?
5:23
Yeah, flight suit like, and you just see like a, like a coal
5:27
engine embedded into Rex's chest.
5:30
OK, yeah, mine's powered by and he's going to take the buckle
5:34
off of the belt and show the morpher, and there's going to be
5:40
a cracked coin inside it. Declan, you notice the coin
5:45
isn't as cracked. It's not fully repaired, but it
5:48
seems to be fixing itself. Immediately give me a second and
5:54
just takes all the parts and just dumps a thing of broken
5:59
coins on the table. Yeah, I, I, I think they're
6:04
still broken for the most part, but.
6:08
He's just going to look at them like and then look back at his
6:12
own and then sweep them back into the bag as quickly as he
6:17
dumped them out. Sorry you're raising your.
6:20
Hand I'm also raising my hand so you know when me and Hooper went
6:26
through like the the galactic walkway, like when you show me
6:30
all these other worlds, I looked at Murphy and into like the
6:35
purple. You did.
6:36
You did. Will I have seen a Ranger symbol
6:40
similar to that? Because because I know what the
6:43
purple looks like on the inside, but.
6:46
Maybe. Can I roll?
6:49
To say, yeah, I said let's, let's because if I remember
6:52
correctly, most of our like like Murphy doesn't have.
6:55
Like yours is more necklace. It's a necklace.
6:59
Riley's and and mats are like actual designs on them.
7:04
Yeah. And I feel like they'd be
7:06
homages to older. Yeah.
7:09
So let's let's roll. We'll call that a no.
7:12
My worst step. Let's say the one time we get to
7:15
roll with a negative. That's.
7:17
A nine. I think you do get a sense of
7:19
like, you've seen the symbol somewhere.
7:21
I don't think you can place it though.
7:22
OK, OK, OK. What is the symbol?
7:35
If it if it's Declan Oliver, it's it's the Dragon's old
7:37
symbol. Yeah, it's the Dragon's old.
7:39
Which is the like the the paw print of a dragon.
7:46
That was nice. Cordelia, you were raising your.
7:49
Hand no, that was actually my exact question.
7:52
Don't don't test me on my Power Rangers because he's Drakon and
7:55
Drakon has the same. You say the word plane and
7:58
something inside of me triggers and I have to ask a follow up
8:01
question just to make sure. You can't best me on my Power
8:05
Rangers, my Mighty Morphin Power Rangers knowledge.
8:09
And he's still Green, which is the confusing part, because that
8:12
means he's still technically, they say he's obviously not.
8:15
He was also in 1967. Yeah, 197870. 8.
8:20
One he he was. He was.
8:21
There were a lot of years we threw.
8:23
Around he was green when he was made by Rita Repulsor and then
8:26
he turned into the White Ranger. So it means he still technically
8:29
could be corrupted by Rita Repulsor in this eventuality.
8:35
I'm I'm just thinking out loud here.
8:37
Look, I'm just so happy that I got to see that reaction from
8:41
you, because as I was looking through and I saw the Adrift,
8:45
the first thing that came into my mind was there's a Power
8:48
Rangers show. I could be a Power Ranger of
8:50
swords. Just a mech, yes.
8:54
OK, so, well, well, Declan's looking at all these coins.
9:00
Rex is just going to be sort of like scratching his head, like
9:04
thinking about where he might. He recognises the the thing and
9:08
he goes. Those, those look kind of
9:11
familiar. Wait, they do.
9:14
And Declan's just going to like, vary.
9:19
He's shoving them back in the bag and putting the bag back
9:22
like into a pocket. You've seen them.
9:26
I feel like I've I've seen something similar.
9:30
Here. I'm going to look over to
9:34
Cordelia. Do do have clearance to talk
9:39
about you know who? Yeah, yeah.
9:44
You can say no if you want. I'm I'm no, I think.
9:47
Get ready, forgiven what's happening right now, I think
9:49
it's only appropriate that we also show our full hand.
9:54
OK, OK, get ready for the ride of your life, Declan, because
9:57
this is going to be wild. So do you want this full story
10:00
from the beginning so you can get a bit of back story or do
10:03
you want the abridged version? I whichever, probably the full
10:07
version I don't. OK, I'm still very confused,
10:11
Kyle. I have a question for you.
10:13
What's up? We talked about this key
10:17
previously on Messages. Yeah.
10:19
And I said I've never got rid of it.
10:22
OK. Can I pull it out or is it just
10:25
like? Yeah, I mean, yes, I know
10:26
person. So I, I like, reach into my boot
10:29
because that's where I kept it last time, and pull it out, Pull
10:31
out this key. This is like a really old key.
10:33
You'd like to look at it. And it's like from my, I don't
10:36
know, like, again, 400 years old or some shit, I don't know.
10:39
And I put it on the table and I'll be like, so when we were in
10:42
Japan, some girl called Texas Adams fell from the sky or
10:49
somewhere. And she said that she had a
10:52
vision when she touched this key.
10:54
My God spoke to her saying I needed the key.
10:57
So I took the key. And then it was sort of like the
10:59
Lord of the Rings where it talks to you when you hold it.
11:02
And it's like secrets. And then I died almost like at
11:08
one point. And then I went into this weird,
11:12
introverted, the introspective to say mental realm, and I met
11:16
my God properly for the first time.
11:18
It was all just like sort of jumbled talks and shit like
11:21
that. And he showed me all these
11:23
different realms that are all connected.
11:26
And then he was like, I can help you save your world and you set
11:28
me free, blah blah blah blah. So I set him free.
11:30
Now he lives in my body. And then you saved my life and I
11:34
absorbed that shadow energy shift for the first time and it
11:37
felt really good. And it still feels, really.
11:39
Good, you can't tell people that part.
11:42
You sound like a reefer head. And then, and then this rift
11:48
opened and we fought this shadow monster and then we closed the
11:53
rift closed when the big guy came and shot it.
11:56
And then we came here and then we seen another rift and now
11:59
we're here and we, we fought like yesterday.
12:02
But yeah, in that realm thing, there was like a cowboy who had
12:06
a really weird voice. There was a small girl with, and
12:10
I'm with stupid shirt on. Are you mad about that?
12:16
And there was a young, a young, scrawny young boy who sat in a
12:22
chair of, of I don't know what he was.
12:26
It's like a big white room with consoles and shit in it.
12:31
And yeah, and then there was all this other shit, like people who
12:34
have cards in the heart and shit like that and.
12:38
Cards in their hearts. I don't know, man, I asked
12:42
Hooper to find out where you're from when you got here, just to
12:44
see if we can get you, get you some help.
12:47
I have so many questions. You're the only one.
12:51
First you met your God. Yeah, so he's like he's called
12:58
Hooper and he. Never heard of a Hoopa?
13:03
He did he tell me where he was from?
13:05
I'm not sure I don't. Remember, I don't think so long
13:08
since he I. Don't think?
13:08
Let's say no. He's from AI, don't think he's
13:11
from here. I think he's from a different
13:13
place like you. But.
13:15
He speaks to me through the weave.
13:18
And he's in your head. He shares my brain, yes.
13:23
It's complicated. It is complicated.
13:25
It's like a really bad cohabitative relationship.
13:30
I get every day and then he gets all the fun moments.
13:33
OK, also, what is the Lord of the Rings?
13:42
That would question. He keeps making this reference.
13:51
Wait, so wait, you said 30 years ago you're from that 1978?
13:56
I am from 1970. Eight.
13:58
What year were you born in? So 30 years ago ish.
14:03
It looks like 30s so I'm going to.
14:05
Say we actually can do this math. 1953.
14:08
OK, so he's like 10. So did I do the math right?
14:10
He's done so. OK, I'm not good at math.
14:13
I had the second guess. The invasion had already didn't
14:18
start it yet, so Lord of the Rings should have been out
14:20
because the Oh no, yeah, no, The Hobbit would have been out for
14:24
you. Not the Lord of the Rings
14:28
Hobbit. Yeah.
14:30
So not to brag, but when I was part of the British military, I
14:36
met JRR Tolkien and got an early copy of The Lord of the Rings of
14:41
Space. Unfinished still, but he brought
14:43
out another book in 19. We're going real.
14:50
Deep. In 1937, on September 21st, he
14:57
released The Hobbit. Which should Rex has the date
15:01
if? He calls Ace the fifth boy that
15:06
would know the Power Ranger. This is the one nerdy thing I've
15:11
got. Rex has a very specific set of
15:13
interests, and it's violence and Lord of the Rings, not
15:16
necessarily in that. Order.
15:17
Yeah. See.
15:18
See. Cordelia knows.
15:21
Yeah. So The Hobbit.
15:22
You should have had The Hobbit, right?
15:25
I don't know if that exists in his.
15:27
Don't make me do it. Don't make me do it.
15:29
I I will go into my room right now and pull that.
15:31
Book out. It's a colossal book.
15:33
Declan, I'm so sorry about this. I'm sure this must be.
15:36
Incredibly so. It's a book.
15:38
It's a book. OK, we'll leave it at that.
15:42
Next question. OK, going back to what you guys
15:53
were saying before, you're fighting other humans.
15:56
Yep. Yes.
15:58
Because some dude in Germany got pissed off because his art
16:03
wasn't worth the shit and a girl broke up with him.
16:07
It's a lot more complicated than how Rex described it.
16:11
That is the that is the the very bare minimum understanding you
16:15
need. He did also write a book.
16:18
In. Prison.
16:19
He did write a book. Really bad book.
16:22
A huge part of what drives everything here.
16:26
What books? No, no, no.
16:28
No, no, most people don't care. Yeah, it's mostly about
16:31
violence. See Violence we Had.
16:35
Violence and money. Very long time.
16:39
Because this, this whole World War started because Germany
16:43
invaded like every country surrounding them.
16:46
And then they tried to invade the UK and we said no and fought
16:51
back. And then we were fighting with
16:53
some allies for like 4 years, five years.
16:59
OK, but wait, I'm confused. The United States still exists
17:01
in your world, even though I'm just I'm trying to figure out
17:04
where the split happened. The remnants of it, things
17:09
weren't great where I left. OK, what did the aliens want?
17:16
Earth they. Is there?
17:18
Is there some? The first time they came, they
17:21
came in, I assume. Would I know the history of
17:24
everything before me? Yes, Yeah, yeah, yeah.
17:27
The Machine Empire came in 1914 and that was the First World War
17:34
for us. Oh, we just fought, yeah.
17:37
It was just more Germans. Yeah, what happened in Germany
17:44
in your? World a lot they just.
17:47
So let's say the First World War was very different.
17:49
So, well, there was like Frans. Burden got.
17:53
Murdered, Yeah, got murdered. And that just started a whole
17:57
thing off. It was a very it was, it was a,
18:03
it was an assassination plot that went wrong.
18:06
Yeah, and essentially just a lot of smaller regional conflicts
18:09
spiralling into one larger overarching conflict.
18:14
But we did play, we did play football at Christmas every year
18:18
with the opposing team. Yeah, I mean, there is like
18:21
mustard gas, all sorts of fun stuff, a lot of like trench foot
18:25
problems. Yeah.
18:26
And then the weave was discovered like a couple of
18:28
years before that, yeah. OK, so that's a rounded line
18:34
when the grid manifested our coins originally.
18:38
The grid manifested your coins, Rex.
18:41
Are we sure this? Isn't just like a.
18:43
Schizophrenic. I think it.
18:45
Is I think we may. We may have just saved Ace from
18:49
a different world. We might have.
18:54
Yeah, so my powers and my zord's power comes from something
19:01
called the Morphing grid. It's what powers the coin.
19:04
Oh, I've I've heard of the Morphin grid.
19:06
You have. You've heard.
19:07
Of I have who? The Morphin Grid who haven't
19:10
mentioned this yet. He's he's he said all these
19:15
worlds that you show me are intrinsically connected through
19:19
different forces. We call it the weave.
19:22
Some worlds call it the Morphin Grid, some call them demons or
19:28
demon worship ship. What was the other one?
19:32
Pokémon. Was it Pokémon?
19:34
I think so, yeah. Whatever fucking Pokémon is,
19:37
that was the 4th 1, he said. I don't think you mentioned
19:40
Pokémon in that one. It's been so long.
19:42
Since I think you mentioned Pokémon when you were talking
19:45
about the Karibdis portion but not the.
19:49
OK, yeah. So it's still it's still
19:50
relevant, but I don't know what the solar sauce was for the the
19:53
Narsino one, because you told me all I think it was just.
19:56
Beings. I think it was just like beasts
19:58
of power. Yeah, yeah.
19:59
That was it. That was it, That was it.
20:01
Yeah. So the morphing grid is
20:03
intrinsically connected to our universe as well as other
20:06
universes. We call it the Weave.
20:08
You said it was like 1911 when the morphing grid. 1914's when
20:13
they invaded, and yeah, shortly after, that's when the coins
20:17
manifested. The first thought.
20:18
OK. And then we do have that's the
20:23
wrong thing here. It was blah, blah, blah, blah,
20:25
blah, blah. In 1919, we discovered Albert
20:30
Einstein, discovered the weave. Do you have Albert Einstein?
20:34
Is he a person on your planet, in your world?
20:36
I. Don't think you'd know if he
20:38
was. I've got to say, I don't think I
20:40
would know. No clue.
20:43
Chairman dude, wild hair. Yeah, wild hair.
20:47
Maybe someone in the mocked Kruger would know, but not me.
20:52
God. But so you guys have been
20:54
fighting each other since then, no?
20:57
No we had a break. So the Great War was like 1914
21:01
to 1918 and then we had like a knife 20 ish year break like 19
21:07
year break. And then in in 1937 Adolf Hitler
21:10
started being a bitch and took over Germany and invaded Poland
21:17
and France and Belgium. And then what?
21:20
Like five years later, Six years later, here we are now.
21:23
The Americans have joined the fight.
21:24
Yeah, very different. We had fought back and took back
21:30
the Earth from the Machine Empire, OK.
21:33
And then like you, we had a few decades where we were able to
21:38
rebuild and everything. But we've been working together
21:42
all of that time. See, you had like this out of
21:46
planet extraterrestrial. Invasion.
21:49
Where you have to come together. We had an internal conflict with
21:54
other humans each time. How can you handle that?
21:59
Violence. I don't know how.
22:01
Yeah, I don't know how you handle it.
22:03
I just go crazy. Other people.
22:05
Yeah, we just, we kill them. It's it's a it's a dog eat dog
22:11
world. Sometimes they get taken as
22:13
prisoners. Prisoners of war, technically.
22:17
Like the German guy. Don't fucking mention prisoner
22:19
of war. He's not a prisoner of.
22:22
Oh, like the guy I heard about on that radio.
22:24
Just stations while I showered the Declan.
22:27
Let me tell you something about that little prick, right?
22:30
Right. He, he, he tried giving up
22:33
everything. He, he was ready to tell
22:35
everybody everything. And then then me and Cordelia
22:38
here, we came in and saved the fucking day while he was sat
22:40
there with his hands between his arse cheeks, right.
22:43
Yeah, he went. In, he said he followed he.
22:46
Followed a fucking squirrel into the wood because he was pouting.
22:53
Swear to God Declan, if you ever meet that guy I'm going to beat
22:56
the shit out of him in front of you just so you can see how much
22:59
your pussy is. And you know what?
23:01
Why do they have him on? Radio because he's American.
23:05
Imagine if I. Was that reaches under the table
23:08
and slowly picks the radio up and goes.
23:09
I think he's on again, actually. We are back with the hero of the
23:18
Pacific, Ace Randolph. Ace, you are being commended the
23:22
Purple Heart for the injuries you sustained in combat.
23:25
Can you tell us about what happened?
23:27
First of all. I would like to thank my my
23:30
generals, my commanding officers, and the entire U.S.
23:34
military for what an honor it is.
23:36
It is truly, truly an incredible was an incredible opportunity to
23:41
serve. That being said, the military
23:45
life isn't the best. We were there on the beaches.
23:49
I was surrounded away from my teammates solo, me and my Aster
23:55
Hyperion. There was about 6 or 7 Japanese
23:59
esters. Of course, they can't hold a
24:01
candle to what we can do here in the States, but when it's six on
24:06
one, you're going to get some injuries.
24:08
I was taking them on and one of them fought dirty, got me right
24:13
in the back and stuck a sword right next to my hard drive.
24:16
But luckily, myself and Hyperion, we were able to come
24:20
out of it mostly unscathed and we were able to win the rest of
24:24
the battle for the US military so that we could make a beach.
24:27
Hit got his arm ripped off. He cried like a bitch.
24:39
Cordelia. No, Rex, I'm angry this time.
24:42
Let me be angry. So it's a lie.
24:48
All of that was a lie, Declan. But OK.
24:54
My poor neighbors. Sorry everyone.
24:56
I I had. I had such a bad idea then.
24:59
Does your? News Lyle Lot.
25:02
The Americans do. It's called propaganda.
25:05
And and it's not really news. That's just like they're trying
25:09
to sell war bonds, and they chose like the the least
25:11
enthusiastic war bond. So every bungee buy puts a
25:16
bullet in the barrel of your best man's gun.
25:19
Is that the right slogan? Every.
25:20
Bungee buy is a bullet in the barrel of your best man's gun?
25:23
Yeah. So every bullet, every bun they
25:26
buy puts a bullet in in the foxcatcher.
25:29
Yeah, it does take a lot of war bombs to fund the Foxcatcher.
25:33
I'm not going to lie, my ammo is incredibly.
25:36
Catcher another ass. Oh no, Oh no, that's like a mega
25:40
tank. She's a machine of war.
25:41
She's truly a beauty. When we get to Angel Grove,
25:45
you'll probably get to see her, yes.
25:47
Wait, OK, so, so much is happening at once.
25:51
Are you attacking Angel Grove? No.
25:53
No, no, no, no, no, no. We're going to investigate Angel
25:56
Grove. Why?
25:58
I don't fucking know. Nobody really I'll.
26:00
Just follow orders my guy. Speak to the captain.
26:03
I'm following orders. You would remember that you
26:07
there's a a. There's a portal, I think.
26:10
Yes, there's, there's you're. Going to investigate a like a a
26:14
power signature there that's there's.
26:17
That thing you fell through is like something very similar,
26:20
like energy signature wise in the vicinity of Angel growth.
26:24
So I could use that to get home. Potentially, no.
26:28
I wouldn't recommend it. They've led to some things.
26:32
Generally. Yeah.
26:33
Bad things generally come out of those.
26:36
Yeah. I mean, you're more than welcome
26:37
to try. You're not.
26:38
I just came out of those. And we fought you a bud.
26:41
We thought you were, Bud. Yeah, I.
26:45
Don't. Those weird things that were all
26:48
over me, those were zeros. Yeah, zeros.
26:53
Oh my God, my food's here. One second.
26:55
I'll be back in 45 seconds. It's right.
26:57
Here, I'll, I'll explain. Cuddly.
26:59
Don't worry you. You go to the toilet.
27:00
Yeah. So Zeros are machines made by
27:07
the Germans and the Japanese and the Russians and the Italians,
27:12
which are like basically mini versions of what we have that
27:16
are just like foot soldiers. Basically.
27:19
They're just infantry, disposable pawns for the the
27:24
putties. Yeah, whatever a putty is,
27:31
they're basically disposable minions that the attack goes
27:33
with before their big guns get to where we are.
27:38
Definitely putties. Yeah, we have something similar.
27:43
They weren't that large. They're not hard to defeat.
27:48
Yeah, there were a lot of them in the crater, So and I.
27:53
So putting two and two together here, you have zeros and we have
27:58
zeros. And we both have don't have
28:01
zeros. So, OK, so the both
28:03
intrinsically have the same energy.
28:05
So our zeros found their way to you.
28:08
Yeah, that's what I'm thinking. And they have the same energy
28:11
signature that ours do. That's the energy that was in
28:16
the portal. The whole that that's new,
28:21
that's not something. We've only seen it once or twice
28:23
ourselves. Yeah, that it was enough that it
28:27
popped up on my radar as soon as I saw it, but that's not
28:31
something Rita and her people use or said used.
28:38
Did you just hit your elbow again?
28:39
No. Michelle, they just clicked in
28:41
the worst possible direction it could possibly kick.
28:45
We call that, as far as I'm aware, it's called shadow
28:49
energy. Yes, that's the name that the
28:51
United States government has been working with as well.
28:54
So they're not very creative. No, no, we prefer descriptive.
28:59
I think, I think that's what it's called elsewhere as well.
29:03
That's what I got told by hooproot is called shadow
29:04
energy. So.
29:14
Oh, while we're having this conversation, I'm going to be
29:17
checking back with Hooper. And you'd be like, did did you
29:19
figure anything out in the whole 24 hours that I left you
29:21
thinking where this guy's from? Not yet.
29:25
He he he's similar to one of those places.
29:28
You show me that those coins. Maybe if I could get a look at
29:31
one of those coins. Hey, Declan.
29:34
Yeah. If if I can you show me one of
29:37
those coins because I may be able to get.
29:39
You home his hands just going to shift like protectively to.
29:43
I promise you this is my captain here.
29:45
I don't do anything without explicit orders some of the
29:49
time. He's going to hand you his own.
29:52
OK here, use mine. I, I just, I just want to take a
29:58
look at it and I'm going to like hold it up in front of my face
30:01
and Hooper, can you see this? This looks really recognisable.
30:08
It gives me some ideas. Let me keep looking OK and I'm
30:11
I'll give it back. But the other guys working on
30:15
finding where you are, where you're from.
30:17
OK, so your hard drives? Heart.
30:24
Heart drives, hard drives, Yeah. So do those choose you?
30:31
It's no, we, we don't get chosen by hard drives.
30:34
We get chosen by the weave. Unless you're like.
30:37
Unless you're like me. Very similar to how coins do.
30:41
Right. And then does the hard drive
30:45
manifest. It's more of a surgery.
30:50
It's very invasive. It's really similar to the
30:57
coins. These very special exemptions,
31:00
and I'm one of the only few special exemptions I know of
31:04
where I was chosen before I even knew what the weave was.
31:08
Yeah, I was 15 when they chose me for the coin.
31:13
I have this written down somewhere.
31:16
How old is Rex? Is that what you're asking?
31:17
Yeah, because I'm pretty sure he's pretty young.
31:20
Actually don't know. I don't know where.
31:22
I didn't write him a thing. Nope.
31:24
I never wrote an age down for, but we did speak about it at one
31:28
point. I remember us being on a call
31:29
and speaking about it. And I don't think he's that old.
31:31
I think he's like. I think he was early 20s.
31:32
Yeah, 2524. Because he was.
31:35
He's old enough to serve in the British Army for a little while
31:37
and then because. He started because he was
31:38
working there for a couple. I think I think early 20s
31:41
somewhere. Around there, yeah, I, it was
31:44
about 3 or 4 years ago that I got chosen by the, the, the God.
31:51
Yeah, I've I had the coin for two years before the bomb.
31:58
The bomb. The bomb.
32:00
Yeah, my city got bombed. Oh, the Starbomb.
32:06
Fighting. Yeah, the Starbomb.
32:10
We were fighting Rita and Rita. Every time I see their names, I
32:15
just see where you made the note beside it.
32:17
God stupid names. Because it's Rita Repulsa and
32:24
Rita Repulsa and their brother, and it's so.
32:28
But we we were one of the heaviest resistance areas all
32:35
through the war and they wanted to make an example.
32:40
So they just, they charged and released this bomb and they
32:46
killed my entire team except me. The coins I showed you that are
32:53
that's their coins. So our coins link us to the
32:58
grid, kind of like your heart drives due to the weave, I think
33:03
OK. And they can be regenerated.
33:09
Usually they're powered by just hope, and when we were broken
33:18
there wasn't enough hope left to regenerate these, so it's just
33:25
been me. So you're saying you, You were
33:29
your world's final hope? He said the name of the other
33:39
show. I, I wasn't the only one.
33:46
There were, like I said, there are other teams, but I was the
33:50
only one left in America or what used to be America.
33:55
They everyone surrendered. We were the only ones fighting
33:59
back. I don't know how things were
34:05
anywhere else, but I don't, I haven't had contact with anyone
34:11
really in years. I've been on my own fighting
34:15
against Rita every chance I can for I think you were right
34:20
yesterday it was. It's been 8 years.
34:23
I think at this point it's hard to remember.
34:26
It's a long time to wear one pair of pants.
34:29
I've had other pants just I haven't had like there.
34:35
There's no buildings in the ruins of Angel Grove where I'm
34:39
at. I'm bathing in was bathing in
34:42
streams and I'm doing everything I could to just fight back and
34:49
now I'm not even there to help. I'm in a world where people are
34:57
killing each other for, I'm sorry, stupid ass reasons.
35:03
Well, genocide. Like.
35:06
Preventing. People trying to stop it started
35:09
for stupid reasons. This man is trying to kill one
35:13
full race of people and he's trying to bring in the Aryan
35:18
race. Is that the perfect human?
35:22
No no, it's just blonde haired blue eyed people.
35:24
There are no aliens that have bothered you other.
35:28
Than the little alien that lives in his body, no.
35:32
Yeah, other than yours. God.
35:35
God, yeah. No, not as far as we're aware.
35:39
So barring a threat from people outside, you guys just decided
35:45
to start murdering each other because you don't like the way
35:49
someone looks? Yes.
35:51
No, because we don't like the way someone looks.
35:53
Because he doesn't like the way somebody looks.
35:56
Fuck that guy. Yeah, exactly.
35:58
That's what we're all fighting against.
36:00
Yeah, we are. Actually.
36:02
Trying to kill him. Nobody wants to fuck.
36:04
Him That's not the problem. Our history is filled with war.
36:08
Every single era has a war of some other kind.
36:11
Yeah, I mean, so did we until the the invasion.
36:14
Yeah, You had a you had a unification of people.
36:17
We didn't. We had.
36:18
We only had. The separation and segregation
36:20
of people. More division.
36:23
Speaking of division. I think you guys are approaching
36:35
approaching the final stop of Angel Grove, California, which
36:39
isn't a crater at the moment. And I think as you guys are
36:44
rolling, rolling up, you get the the final news blast from Ace.
36:50
Ace, what can you tell us about your team members?
36:54
We were told about the loss of Merlin in battle and our heart
36:56
breaks for your friend. What can you tell us about Ice
36:58
House and Heartbreaker? First of all, I got to say it
37:02
really is a shame that I wasn't able to be there for Merlin for
37:06
all those times through through boot and through training, he
37:10
was there for me. It was really, really
37:13
heartbreaking and I can't begin to give you the emotions that I
37:17
was feeling in that moment. However, I do have to thank my
37:21
team of, of ice house and Heartbreaker.
37:25
You know, fun fact, Gary, Eunice and I, the pilots, we all went
37:30
to college together. Gary and I played on the
37:32
football team. There was a little bit of a, a
37:34
brotherly rivalry there, but certainly, you know, we were
37:39
very good at sharing the spotlight together.
37:41
And of course, Eunice, my, my college sweetheart, she and I,
37:45
you know, we, we have great chemistry on and off the
37:49
battlefield. And that's all I'll say about
37:50
that. I'm going to put a bullet in his
37:53
fucking head. As as he says that last bit, I'm
37:59
going to pop all is that to the table, but look at look at who
38:04
you're fucking dating. The the Casanova of the US Army
38:09
fucking deserve better, Lizette fucking Frick, don't fucking
38:13
Gary and fucking Eunice. Eunice wants to shag that shag
38:16
Cordelia, not fucking Gary. Gary, your eyes and and Ellie
38:25
was like, I couldn't be there to help Merlin.
38:27
He's the reason. Merlin died.
38:33
Captain, Captain, Captain, Can we request the transfer?
38:37
I'll take anybody else. We can't.
38:42
We'll get separated. Nobody else in the fucking
38:44
United States can deal with you except for me.
38:47
Don't ask for a transfer. We will kill him ourselves.
38:49
Can we swap? We will stage.
38:51
Something ace for Declan. That's actually a very valid
38:55
point. We will look into that where
38:57
hopefully we find you some answers.
38:58
And if we don't, welcome to the team.
39:03
Congratulations. Welcome in you are now part.
39:06
Of the US Army. You have a.
39:09
Happy to help. Fight.
39:10
You have an ASTA, That's all we need.
39:12
Yeah, that's all we need. We've got all bases covered.
39:15
Now fight the shit that you've been telling me about.
39:18
Yeah. Oh, it's easy if you.
39:21
Can fight me. You're going to you'll.
39:22
You'll survive all easily you. Didn't even use everything
39:25
against you. I didn't use everything against
39:28
you. I have some tricks I've got left
39:29
up my sleeve. Was that I'm so sorry about.
39:32
That I think that's where we ended.
39:37
I almost threw my headset so it was so great I could still hear
39:44
it as well which was making me even more angry.
39:48
I told you forward's going to be the worst.
39:53
Oh, and I'm so glad it was Jesse for that one.
39:55
It was amazing. You know what you got Jesse,
39:57
which is like my favorite carrot black person in the whole of
39:59
laps and loot to do the worst one.
