  Speaker 2: your normal spots.

  Speaker 2: Oh?
• 1:56
  Speaker 5: My god, and it's not fair.
• 1:59
  Speaker 2: Busting out of the door, there's a man. This man
• 2:03
  Speaker 2: is shirtless and his body is encompassed with a beautiful
• 2:08
  Speaker 2: red dragon tattoo. But the dragon tattoo is interrupted by
• 2:13
  Speaker 2: a surgically implanted shoulder device that connects to his spine.
• 2:19
  Speaker 2: Coming out of their invisible status is a large day woman.
• 2:25
  Speaker 2: She draws back her fingers to her cheek. Materializing in
• 2:32
  Speaker 2: the space in between her two arms is an arrow
• 2:36
  Speaker 2: made of pure white energy. She looses it and it
• 2:40
  Speaker 2: streaks through the hallway right towards you west shoot safe
• 2:46
  Speaker 2: going back to base.
• 2:48
  Speaker 6: And Jamir, very very hurt, will limp into the nearest
• 2:53
  Speaker 6: tunnel access and slowly fly my way back to the
• 2:59
  Speaker 6: manner because I am very.
• 3:01
  Speaker 2: Hurt, Jamir. As you come off the street and find
• 3:15
  Speaker 2: an entry way to the sewers, the adrenaline begins to
• 3:21
  Speaker 2: wear off and the pain begins to set in.
• 3:26
  Speaker 1: Oh shit, you're hurt, hurt bad.
• 3:32
  Speaker 2: Your enhanced connection with your body feels the blood pooling
• 3:37
  Speaker 2: under your skin. As you cruise you feel the tears
• 3:42
  Speaker 2: where your skin was hit too many times in the
• 3:45
  Speaker 2: same place, you feel the blood leaking out of you
• 3:49
  Speaker 2: and mixing with the piss and shit that you walk in.
• 3:53
  Speaker 2: That's right now, you're feeling like you can't make it home.
• 4:00
  Speaker 3: Am I under the shoot?
• 4:03
  Speaker 2: Yeah? You're around in that area for sure?
• 4:05
  Speaker 3: In that area. Okay.

• 4:21
  Speaker 5: leave it in the sewers and try to sneak up
• 4:27
  Speaker 5: into the shoot.
• 4:29
  Speaker 3: Do you have clothes on underneath? Yeah?
• 4:31
  Speaker 5: I always keep on some not nothing substantial, but I

  Speaker 3: I mean yeah, just really yeah, tell us what you're wearing.
• 4:40
  Speaker 1: And what would it feel like if we touched touch the.
• 4:43
  Speaker 5: Bloody but if it would be pretty pretty wet, pretty sweat. Wow,

  Speaker 5: if I lose the ban data, oh, I'm with moist quick.
• 5:02
  Speaker 5: If I'm losing the bandana, I'm losing the do rag,
• 5:06
  Speaker 5: I will like take off. I guess I would have
• 5:09
  Speaker 5: to take off the shirt that has my little insignia
• 5:12
  Speaker 5: painted on it. Definitely lose the three quarter cape, and
• 5:17
  Speaker 5: I want to try as much as I can to
• 5:21
  Speaker 5: slink through the shadows to my community living pod.
• 5:26
  Speaker 3: Damn, guys, should this podcast just be an audio description
• 5:29
  Speaker 3: of stripping. Let's pivot. Let's pivot hard. I slink through
• 5:35
  Speaker 3: the shadows. Take my shirt.
• 5:37
  Speaker 2: Off, I shirtlessly slink, shirtless, slink, Jamira. As you get
• 5:44
  Speaker 2: to the living pod, you try your key and fuck
• 5:51
  Speaker 2: you haven't been here enough. Come on for them to
• 5:56
  Speaker 2: keep your spot.
• 5:59
  Speaker 3: Yeah.

  Speaker 5: Do I see like a box of my effects anywhere

  Speaker 2: Just like sitting by your by your door, waiting for you.
• 6:08
  Speaker 5: Okay, okay, I will pick up that box, throw my

  Speaker 5: key by the doormat in frustration, leaving it there.
• 6:23
  Speaker 2: Man, how far am I? How far am I from.
• 6:28
  Speaker 3: The station and Jackie?
• 6:32
  Speaker 2: Right now, You're pretty far, but it's much much closer
• 6:38
  Speaker 2: than your house in Sass.
• 6:43
  Speaker 5: I will open up my box just there in the
• 6:47
  Speaker 5: like open communal hallway ish space. I will throw on
• 6:52
  Speaker 5: a clean shirt, throw on a clean pair of pants,
• 6:57
  Speaker 5: some flip flops that I kept for shower visits, and
• 7:04
  Speaker 5: try to look as calm as I can painfully limb
• 7:09
  Speaker 5: walking holding my box to Jackies.
• 7:14
  Speaker 2: Another thing you could do is that there are I
• 7:16
  Speaker 2: don't think I've ever said this, but I've always imagined it,
• 7:21
  Speaker 2: so my bad. But there are like small railway like
• 7:27
  Speaker 2: standing platform rails that were installed by Ellington Electric for
• 7:32
  Speaker 2: free for the people of the Shoote that run east
• 7:34
  Speaker 2: and west across the shoe down the chute.
• 7:38
  Speaker 3: Yep.
• 7:38
  Speaker 2: So that's the way that Jackies.
• 7:40
  Speaker 5: Definitely head on, hop on that can serve some energy
• 7:46
  Speaker 5: and just try not to look too pained as I do.
• 7:49
  Speaker 3: So does the sound of the train go shoot even
• 7:55
  Speaker 3: though it's.
• 7:55
  Speaker 1: An electric train, that's cute.
• 7:59
  Speaker 2: It's yeah, it goes cute, cute, cute, cute. Jamr heads
• 8:06
  Speaker 2: towards Jackie's house. Jason, I'm a paper bidy. You've become
• 8:13
  Speaker 2: a piece of paper, turned yourself into an airplane, and
• 8:16
  Speaker 2: you are floating down to the rooftop where Dirk has
• 8:19
  Speaker 2: dispatched the Flog. The Yakuza and the Flog now fire
• 8:24
  Speaker 2: openly at each other, and the police are beginning to
• 8:27
  Speaker 2: repel from their zeppelins. Above the rooftops. They've uncovered their spotlights,
• 8:32
  Speaker 2: and the light shines on Dirk. Before you come out
• 8:37
  Speaker 2: of paper. You see he wears the bright Blade suit.
• 8:43
  Speaker 2: But in the short time he's had away from you,
• 8:45
  Speaker 2: all he's changed it. The change is simple but striking.
• 8:52
  Speaker 2: All of the brilliant white accents of the suit have
• 8:56
  Speaker 2: been crudely painted black. Long cloak flaps black, the once
• 9:03
  Speaker 2: white X that was formed by the belts that cross
• 9:07
  Speaker 2: his chest are now black, and the mighty white fin
• 9:10
  Speaker 2: running lengthwise on his helm has been shorn down and
• 9:15
  Speaker 2: painted black as well. It makes for a more somber appearance,
• 9:21
  Speaker 2: makes the bright Blade a darker night. But as one
• 9:26
  Speaker 2: of the spotlight's trains on him, you finally understand the
• 9:30
  Speaker 2: name bright Blade. The veneum sword glints fiercely against the night,
• 9:38
  Speaker 2: and that spike of silver cannot be marred with paint
• 9:41
  Speaker 2: if he were to try.
• 9:45
  Speaker 3: The paper airplane like the crease in the middle flaps
• 9:48
  Speaker 3: as Jason talks, Oh, Dirk, you're golf now? Are you good?
• 9:54
  Speaker 3: You got shot?
• 9:55
  Speaker 2: He is in a kind of a crouched position right now.
• 9:59
  Speaker 2: After taking the impact of the arrow. He looks over
• 10:03
  Speaker 2: at the paper airplane. Phantom is that you?
• 10:07
  Speaker 3: Yeah?
• 10:07
  Speaker 2: Huh ah hah, He smiles as he looks up at
• 10:12
  Speaker 2: his sister, who is popping her head out of the
• 10:15
  Speaker 2: trapdoor in this rooftop, The Phantom of the Night and
• 10:20
  Speaker 2: the Blade of the day. Oh yeah, we're so God,
• 10:23
  Speaker 2: they are fools to test us.
• 10:26
  Speaker 3: Sure, sure, so we're gonna You wanna stay and you
• 10:28

• 10:30
  Speaker 2: This is what they've done to my sister, and this

  Speaker 4: No?
• 10:45
  Speaker 2: I don't want to kill her. We're gonna free her.
• 10:47
  Speaker 2: Oh okay, okay, but to do that we might need
• 10:49
  Speaker 2: to fight her. Oh okay, tight, Come Phantom, and he
• 10:53
  Speaker 2: starts getting ready to fight Quanta. Here's what's going on
• 10:58
  Speaker 2: with you. You've lit up the whole large space in this
• 11:01
  Speaker 2: building with dancing blue light. It jumps from falling water
• 11:06
  Speaker 2: droplet to falling water droplet. You've stepped out of the
• 11:11
  Speaker 2: dark as a spear of lightning streaks out of a
• 11:14
  Speaker 2: dark cloud. One of these guys you've taken down, There
• 11:18
  Speaker 2: are three left. They've all taken a single damage. Shay
• 11:22
  Speaker 2: has run out and has headed down, and you start
• 11:26
  Speaker 2: to hear yelling screaming from downstairs. Help, Help, Help, and

• 12:05
  Speaker 3: other stuff going on.

  Speaker 2: You have to take an action to hide, which you
• 12:10
  Speaker 2: took your last action to move. I believe so you
• 12:13
  Speaker 2: are not hidden, even though it's hard to want to

• 19:44
  Speaker 2: off at the right point so that the engine cannot
• 19:46
  Speaker 2: turn over.
• 19:47
  Speaker 3: You hear, just though, Jack, Jack, he's trying to coax
• 19:51
  Speaker 3: it back.
• 19:53
  Speaker 2: He's rolling a cox check and failing. He's rolling a
• 19:56
  Speaker 2: titanic coax check to try to get it back on
• 19:58
  Speaker 2: and failing. What the fuck? He starts beating the wheel.
• 20:04
  Speaker 2: You hear Seamus starts screaming at him, a fact, get
• 20:08
  Speaker 2: it going, let's go. As the car won't start. That's
• 20:12
  Speaker 2: your utility.
• 20:13
  Speaker 1: Yes, and.
• 20:15
  Speaker 4: As I, you know, get there, yell, hold out my hands.
• 20:19
  Speaker 4: Stop this, I say into my earpiece. They have they
• 20:22
  Speaker 4: have Arthur and Page. I think I can save them,
• 20:24
  Speaker 4: But they have Arthur and Page is there?
• 20:26
  Speaker 3: They have Arthur and Page over.
• 20:28
  Speaker 1: They have Arthur and Page over.
• 20:30
  Speaker 3: Oh my god, I just needed to know if that's
• 20:32
  Speaker 3: the end of the message.
• 20:34
  Speaker 2: Oh fuck, it's their turn. Shay gets out of the
• 20:37
  Speaker 2: passenger side and just says to any of the other
• 20:43
  Speaker 2: FLOG members that are around, fuck it, We'll do it
• 20:45
  Speaker 2: another day. And they just start running out into the night, getting.
• 20:50
  Speaker 3: Out of here.
• 20:51
  Speaker 1: They no longer have Arthur and Page over. It's over over.
• 20:53
  Speaker 3: Oh god, what a roller goes to This has been
• 20:56
  Speaker 3: over Jamir? Yeah, Jamir has his communicator. It is box.
• 21:00
  Speaker 5: He's not going to have like an earpiece in in public.
• 21:04
  Speaker 5: So yeah, I've been missing out on some of this.
• 21:06
  Speaker 2: I imagine you get off of the platform rail with
• 21:13
  Speaker 2: some other shooters that were headed home to the station
• 21:17
  Speaker 2: on this late evening, and you walk through the station.
• 21:34
  Speaker 2: The station surrounds the singular launch pad of the Great
• 21:39
  Speaker 2: Space Barges. The amount of support and ingenuity needed to
• 21:44
  Speaker 2: thrust the monster spacecraft out of the atmosphere is incalculable factories, laboratories,
• 21:52
  Speaker 2: a university, thousands of ergonomic living quarters, restaurants, bars, and parks,
• 21:59
  Speaker 2: all now abandoned but then refilled by the Core Gang.
• 22:06
  Speaker 2: The core Gang because they live here in the heart
• 22:09
  Speaker 2: of the city. The last space barge is their headquarters,
• 22:14
  Speaker 2: and the station walls are their fortress. Jackie lives with
• 22:18
  Speaker 2: her family in one of the high rise one of
• 22:21
  Speaker 2: the high rise living quarters. The living quarter pod walls
• 22:25
  Speaker 2: of many units were kind of like broken down to
• 22:28
  Speaker 2: create a more homelike space, so they would get kind
• 22:31
  Speaker 2: of a quarter of a floor, if that makes sense,
• 22:34
  Speaker 2: and bust out a bunch of the smaller It was
• 22:37
  Speaker 2: just kind of like a bathroom bed situation in the
• 22:39
  Speaker 2: days of the space exploration. You know which building Jackie
• 22:45
  Speaker 2: lives in, and you know which floor she's on. She's
• 22:48
  Speaker 2: pretty high up on the eighteenth floor of one of
• 22:50
  Speaker 2: these high rises. What is going through Jamir's head as
• 22:53
  Speaker 2: you head towards Jackie's.
• 22:56
  Speaker 5: Jamiir is just trying to focus on the next step
• 23:01
  Speaker 5: in front of him, and just thinking about that couch
• 23:05
  Speaker 5: in Jackie's apartment where I can lie down and stop
• 23:11
  Speaker 5: pretending that my body is not screaming for respite.
• 23:17
  Speaker 2: These thoughts run through your head. How is Jamir feeling
• 23:21
  Speaker 2: about the reaction that Jackie might have when she sees
• 23:26
  Speaker 2: you so beat up? Jamir is a little nervous, but
• 23:30
  Speaker 2: I'm trying not to overthink you right now. I know,
• 23:33
  Speaker 2: I know she'll help, and that's what matters. You knock
• 23:37
  Speaker 2: on Jackie's door. Hey, Jackie, it's it's Jamir. Jackie. You there,
• 23:44
  Speaker 2: Jason back to you. You are hidden. You are on
• 23:47
  Speaker 2: top of a zeppelin. Dirk has engaged both swift Shot
• 23:51
  Speaker 2: and Hikaru down on the on the roof. What are
• 23:54
  Speaker 2: you doing?
• 23:55
  Speaker 3: All right? I'm gonna I'm gonna start spinning. I'm a
• 24:00
  Speaker 3: piece of paper. I'm spinning the piece of paper as
• 24:01
  Speaker 3: fast as I can. And then I want to I mean,
• 24:04
  Speaker 3: I get out of my paper. I want to kick
• 24:06
  Speaker 3: off of it and just send a piece of paper
• 24:09
  Speaker 3: spinning and flying at at the the controller at Hickorw's shoulder. Awesome.
• 24:16
  Speaker 2: So you're trying to bust the controller, yes, or you're
• 24:20
  Speaker 2: trying to do damage to him or the controller the controller, Okay,
• 24:23
  Speaker 2: if there's a difference, Yeah, I think that will matter.
• 24:26
  Speaker 2: It only has a resilience dive of six. Okay, so
• 24:30
  Speaker 2: to break an object you have to beat the resilience.
• 24:33
  Speaker 2: I just made this rule up and I really like it.
• 24:35
  Speaker 2: You have to beat the resilience of the object a
• 24:37
  Speaker 2: number of times based on how tough the object is.
• 24:40
  Speaker 3: Cool.
• 24:41
  Speaker 2: This object only has a toughness of two, so you
• 24:43
  Speaker 2: need to beat its resilience twice for it to not
• 24:45
  Speaker 2: function anymore. Heard, I rolled two? Oh, I wrote a
• 24:50
  Speaker 2: four that turns it into two.
• 24:52
  Speaker 3: I got eight eight.
• 24:54
  Speaker 2: Nice Derek fighting with these to a piece of pap
• 25:00
  Speaker 2: like a ninja star streaks out of the night and
• 25:03
  Speaker 2: sticks in firmly into this shoulder device he got. Who
• 25:08
  Speaker 2: looks over at it? Confused? Everybody looks up and sees
• 25:13
  Speaker 2: you having just jumped off of this piece of paper
• 25:17
  Speaker 2: cloak filling their vision. It's Dirk's turn. Let's go, Dirk, says,
• 25:24
  Speaker 2: smart phantom, and he brings down his sword on the
• 25:27
  Speaker 2: other side of he got his shoulder where the device is.
• 25:32
  Speaker 2: He's gonna try to get the second destroy in. Somebody
• 25:37
  Speaker 2: want to roll a d six resiliencety for me? I
• 25:40
  Speaker 2: got do it three, so that turns into two. I
• 25:47
  Speaker 2: rolled four. So Dirk's blade comes down and cracks into
• 25:52
  Speaker 2: the controlling device and then goes a little bit down
• 25:55
  Speaker 2: into he Gotta's shoulder. Ooh, you see immediately the eyes
• 26:10
  Speaker 2: of swift Shot start darting, start gaining presence. Huh. She
• 26:22
  Speaker 2: starts freaking out. Wow, it's her turn. She is wigging out, panicking,
• 26:31
  Speaker 2: where where? Who? And she turns invisible. You hear Dirk
• 26:41
  Speaker 2: say no, sister, as she disappears.
• 26:44
  Speaker 3: Let her go.
• 26:46
  Speaker 2: It is Hikaru's turn. He looks panicked. He's hurting. He
• 26:52
  Speaker 2: has a paper in one shoulder, a sword in the other,
• 26:55
  Speaker 2: starting to bleed. He puts his hands up. Niels, I
• 27:01
  Speaker 2: have clearly lost this fight. I'll drop down from the zeppelin.
• 27:06
  Speaker 3: Are the I guess it's the The flog is still
• 27:08
  Speaker 3: fighting other yakuza.
• 27:10
  Speaker 2: It's just him that's given up. Yes, and the police
• 27:13
  Speaker 2: are starting to descend. Here on your rooftop, okay, hands
• 27:17
  Speaker 2: in the air, hands in the air.
• 27:19
  Speaker 3: I look at Dirk. We should get out of here.
• 27:22
  Speaker 2: I believe it is time have fun with the cups.
• 27:25
  Speaker 8: And then like a big, big cloud of confetti, big
• 27:33
  Speaker 8: cloud of confetti, you and Dirk both start tearing down.
• 27:38

• 35:58
  Speaker 2: we can't be close.
• 36:00
  Speaker 3: It does.

  Speaker 2: Jackie says, wait, Jamir, when did you get so ripped?
• 38:43
  Speaker 3: In time?
• 38:44

  Speaker 1: Hi, Maria is everything okay?
• 41:13
  Speaker 2: Oh I believe so. Yes, there's a man here.
• 41:19
  Speaker 3: It is your dad.
• 41:21
  Speaker 2: Who Oh, I don't know. He wanted to see the
• 41:25
  Speaker 2: master of the house. I told him he's not here.
• 41:29
  Speaker 1: He's not here. We thought he'd be here.
• 41:31
  Speaker 3: Oh.
• 41:32
  Speaker 2: So yelling into the earpiece Roger. He said he would wait.
• 41:38
  Speaker 4: I would like to push my sense out and up
• 41:41
  Speaker 4: to see if I recognize the person that's here.
• 41:44
  Speaker 2: Roll a sens check. This is an average check. So
• 41:47
  Speaker 2: I'm rolling a D.
• 41:47
  Speaker 1: Eight sensin skin and sinsinskin.
• 41:51
  Speaker 2: I rolled a one.
• 41:52
  Speaker 1: Oh, I rolled an eight.
• 41:54
  Speaker 2: You push your sense up. You do sense two people upstairs.
• 41:59
  Speaker 2: One is you didn't know, one you recognize. But one
• 42:02
  Speaker 2: thing you do sense up there is something very much
• 42:06
  Speaker 2: like the Everheart. Where in Jamir's living room with these people,
• 42:13
  Speaker 2: yes on one of these.
• 42:15
  Speaker 1: People, Maria did did they say who they were?
• 42:18
  Speaker 2: No? They said they wanted to speak to the master
• 42:22
  Speaker 2: of the house. And we're a little forceful coming in
• 42:26
  Speaker 2: tell them they have to wait. If you don't mind, well,
• 42:30
  Speaker 2: can you, oh yeah, just do that? Would you you
• 42:40
  Speaker 2: don't want talk to them?
• 42:42
  Speaker 3: Well? Do they did they ask for Jamir specifically my
• 42:46
  Speaker 3: name or did they just say the master of the
• 42:48
  Speaker 3: house master.
• 42:49
  Speaker 4: We are not putting on the everyone costume by pretending okay, okay, okay, but.
• 42:53
  Speaker 1: I didn't even have to read your body to do that.
• 42:56
  Speaker 3: I'm not saying we wear his grandma's clothes in particular instance. Okay,
• 43:02
  Speaker 3: I mean I was thinking that that's a good catch.
• 43:04
  Speaker 3: But one of us could just talk to them if
• 43:08
  Speaker 3: they don't know who they're looking for.
• 43:11
  Speaker 4: Jamiir doesn't want any heat on this place, and they
• 43:15
  Speaker 4: came in through the front door. If we if I
• 43:18
  Speaker 4: go up there, you know, I could try to do
• 43:21
  Speaker 4: the thing I did with you before, try to make
• 43:23
  Speaker 4: them see something else. But otherwise, I you know, no offense.
• 43:29
  Speaker 4: But I think I should be the one to go
• 43:30
  Speaker 4: up there and talk to them. If someone's going to oh.
• 43:33
  Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, no, I think you should, and I can
• 43:35
  Speaker 3: go put on the everwing suit. Why, I just felt comfortable,
• 43:40
  Speaker 3: but I felt supportive in a god in the chest.
• 43:44
  Speaker 1: Yeah, you just do you need a brand, You just
• 43:48
  Speaker 1: need a broad Jason.
• 43:49
  Speaker 3: I'm not gonna say no, but I can hide and
• 43:52
  Speaker 3: listen and if things go sideways.
• 43:55
  Speaker 2: One of them seems maybe dangerous. I don't know, Hey,
• 44:00
  Speaker 2: Maria weird dangerous. She looks troubled.
• 44:06
  Speaker 4: I would like to sense again, and after trying to
• 44:11
  Speaker 4: see who they were, now understand their.
• 44:15
  Speaker 1: What am I looking for?
• 44:17
  Speaker 2: Dynamic motives?
• 44:19
  Speaker 1: Yeah, like I would love to sense what they're feeling
• 44:21
  Speaker 1: their motives, like their current state.
• 44:23
  Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, yeah, on your success. You succeeded very very well.
• 44:29
  Speaker 2: I think we'll ride that wave. Yeah. You sense the
• 44:34
  Speaker 2: man sitting here is here for your help. You sense
• 44:39
  Speaker 2: that the other person with them, You begin to sense
• 44:43
  Speaker 2: something very similar to the everwing suit.
• 44:47
  Speaker 1: As you focus so the heart and the suit.
• 44:51
  Speaker 2: Around this person, you you recognize a more in depth
• 44:57
  Speaker 2: and intricate piece of heart hardware, and they are here
• 45:02
  Speaker 2: to protect the person there with.
• 45:05
  Speaker 4: I'm just I'm gonna maybe just put on some normal clothes,
• 45:09

• 45:50
  Speaker 5: Yeah, of course, of course. I look at her hard
• 45:57
  Speaker 5: meeting her gaze, deciding if I should do this or not.
• 46:06
  Speaker 2: Jackie, I'm Rachel smile creeps across her face. I knew it.
• 46:31
  Speaker 2: I knew it can't have been gone this long without
• 46:34
  Speaker 2: something really bad happening, something really fucking crazy happening. Yeah,
• 46:40
  Speaker 2: no shit, Jamiir, you went to your grandma's house, you
• 46:43
  Speaker 2: found that sash, and that's like the last time I
• 46:46
  Speaker 2: heard from you. And then this hero named Rachel started
• 46:50
  Speaker 2: popping up. And guess what, Jamir, I followed around where
• 46:54
  Speaker 2: you've been going, because that's what I do. I'm Jackie, motherfucker.
• 47:00
  Speaker 2: And I went to all the places that Rigel has
• 47:03
  Speaker 2: been spotted, and guess where Rise has been spotted, Mostly
• 47:06
  Speaker 2: in the shoot and around the Mayor's office where we
• 47:09
  Speaker 2: lost Taylor. So I knew it. I freaking knew it, Jamir.
• 47:15
  Speaker 3: My motherfucking jack.
• 47:18
  Speaker 5: Oh Jackie, maybe I'm stupid, no offense, but if you
• 47:22
  Speaker 5: could figure it out?
• 47:23
  Speaker 3: Who else?
• 47:24
  Speaker 2: No, no, no, no, I'm jack I'm Jackie, dude. We've we've
• 47:28
  Speaker 2: been doing this for a long long time. We had
• 47:31
  Speaker 2: I'm really good at it, and no one else cares
• 47:34
  Speaker 2: about this like we do, Jamir. This is freaking awesome.
• 47:38
  Speaker 2: I'm so stoked. Thanks for telling me. I wonder I
• 47:42
  Speaker 2: was wondering kind of how long it was gonna take.
• 47:44
  Speaker 2: I was stoked before.
• 47:46
  Speaker 5: I mean, I'm I met the Wraith, Jackie, so I am,
• 47:50
  Speaker 5: I know, Tell me stoked.
• 47:53
  Speaker 2: I'm cracked out of my gord right now. Tell me
• 47:56
  Speaker 2: everything about the Wraith? What did what did he look like?
• 47:58
  Speaker 2: What is what?
• 47:59
  Speaker 3: What I did?
• 48:00
  Speaker 2: Did not get a good look? You didn't get a
• 48:02
  Speaker 2: good look? No, you said you met the Wraith. How
• 48:05
  Speaker 2: do you meet someone without getting a good look. I
• 48:08
  Speaker 2: fought with them. They we fought together against these mobsters.
• 48:13
  Speaker 2: Oh cool, it was very cool. But also I got.
• 48:19
  Speaker 3: Shot a lot.
• 48:21
  Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, yeah.
• 48:22
  Speaker 5: The Wraith was firing from cover, and I will be
• 48:28
  Speaker 5: completely honest, I would have totally gotten my ass handed
• 48:32
  Speaker 5: to me if the Wraith had not shown up, like
• 48:34
  Speaker 5: I was considering immediately fleeing, maybe trying to take a
• 48:39
  Speaker 5: couple out with me. But the Wraith, together again mostly
• 48:47
  Speaker 5: carried by the wraith. Eighty twenty situation, we were able
• 48:51
  Speaker 5: to kick their asses, damn and at the end, awesome.
• 48:56
  Speaker 5: The Wraith spoke to me, spoke, but it wasn't like
• 49:02
  Speaker 5: being you talking. It was like kind of in my head,
• 49:06
  Speaker 5: but coming from them.
• 49:08
  Speaker 2: Wow, wow, Wow, what did what do they sound like
• 49:11
  Speaker 2: what did they say? They just told me good work kid,
• 49:17
  Speaker 2: whow Okay, so we might be able to glean from
• 49:20
  Speaker 2: that that they're older than you, which makes sense because
• 49:22
  Speaker 2: they've been around for a long time. Yes, it does. Yeah, yeah,
• 49:25
  Speaker 2: that's awesome. What if the raid said that to me? Wait, no,
• 49:29
  Speaker 2: that wouldn't happen. This is so cool. It's good to
• 49:32
  Speaker 2: know that the Wraith is real. And actually it's all
• 49:35
  Speaker 2: so fucking cool.
• 49:36
  Speaker 3: Dude. Yeah, it's all so cool cool.
• 49:40
  Speaker 5: I'm smiling through the pains. Get blood ter comfort Jacko, Jackie,
• 49:48
  Speaker 5: hold on, I reach out. I reach up slightly my
• 49:52
  Speaker 5: left hand to take her hand Jackie.
• 49:55
  Speaker 2: Yeah, my grandmother. Yeah was ever way? Oh that's so cool.
• 50:05
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 50:07
  Speaker 2: I knew she had to do something with it, and
• 50:09
  Speaker 2: I guess it makes sense. I should have put that together,
• 50:11
  Speaker 2: that you found the sash in her house. That makes
• 50:13
  Speaker 2: I mean, that's that's clue I had. I mean, yeah,
• 50:18
  Speaker 2: the sash was.
• 50:20
  Speaker 5: I needed help, and but I didn't after Taylor, I
• 50:24
  Speaker 5: didn't want to immediately just I don't know. This is
• 50:27
  Speaker 5: this is fucking dangerous, dude. I I I've already confronted
• 50:35
  Speaker 5: half the lady who shot Taylor in the head.
• 50:38
  Speaker 2: Wow, did you kill her?
• 50:40
  Speaker 3: No?
• 50:41
  Speaker 5: I could have, right, but you went and felt wrong. Yes,
• 50:46
  Speaker 5: you're a hero. I'm a hero. I can't just go
• 50:49
  Speaker 5: snapping people's necks and back valleys.
• 50:52
  Speaker 2: Even though you can, you don't. You shouldn't. Where where?
• 50:55
  Speaker 3: Where? Where? Does that end?
• 50:56
  Speaker 2: Right?
• 50:57
  Speaker 3: Once you start snapping?
• 50:58
  Speaker 2: How many snaps until the world's healed? Right? Yeah?
• 51:02
  Speaker 5: So I I'm staring down the you know, the barrel
• 51:08
  Speaker 5: hole of evil, and I don't really know what I'm doing.
• 51:13
  Speaker 5: I have a couple of friends you've read about. They're cool,
• 51:18
  Speaker 5: but they also do not know what they're doing. We
• 51:21
  Speaker 5: are in way over our heads and I am scared
• 51:27
  Speaker 5: that we have not made any progress stopping with the
• 51:30
  Speaker 5: mayor in the city council have been cooking up, but
• 51:34
  Speaker 5: there's just so much crazy shit.
• 51:36
  Speaker 3: Going on in this city.
• 51:38
  Speaker 5: Jackie like, I mean, there's multiple gangs that you know,
• 51:44
  Speaker 5: you know about, But then when you're a hero, you're like, man,
• 51:47
  Speaker 5: maybe we should do something about them. I'm still just
• 51:51
  Speaker 5: also trying to figure out exactly what my powers are
• 51:55
  Speaker 5: and how they work, and the extent to which I
• 51:58
  Speaker 5: can do stuff with them. It's it's been a lot
• 52:03
  Speaker 5: and I'm so excited to tell you this, but simultaneously,
• 52:07
  Speaker 5: I'm so scared. I'm so scared, Jackie. Jack I didn't
• 52:12
  Speaker 5: tell you, Jackie. I I was in the room. I
• 52:18
  Speaker 5: was looking at the Taylor's eyes and they but they
• 52:23
  Speaker 5: shot him. They made me watch him die, Jackie.
• 52:31
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 52:32
  Speaker 3: And I don't. I whatever I think about telling you,
• 52:44
  Speaker 3: you're telling.
• 52:46
  Speaker 2: My dad.
• 52:49
  Speaker 5: Or Leah or anyone, I imagine being back in that room,
• 52:55
