All right, well, let's do it. Yeah, you want to do it.
0:04
No, no, not like that. That'd be that.
0:06
'D be weird, sorry. You know what we were doing so
0:11
well with the PT13 shit and. Immediately.
0:14
Immediately. Which is a great job.
0:18
It's an impulse. It's an impulse.
0:21
I can't help it. I'm excited for this one.
0:26
Me too. Also this lasagna that I made is
0:27
so good. That's not the point.
0:31
Sorry you guys can't have it. I'll have your lasagna one day.
0:37
Yeah, we'll have the lasagna. That's what I want when we come
0:40
to Boston. I want you.
0:42
That sounds so weird, like I'm not a big fan of the way that
0:45
sounds to the ear. I feel like I can't say that as
0:48
I have a wife. Yeah, like this is right.
0:52
Being a lesbian and just our friend is like, why would you
0:54
know we don't need the lasagna? That's not.
0:59
You wouldn't know what to do with my lasagna.
1:01
I don't want to know what to do with your lasagna.
1:03
That's the point. OK, last week recording done.
1:15
And you were worried about a cold open?
1:17
Yeah, for, for real, God, Captain Murphy's logs Tardy I I
1:23
don't know. I don't know how long we've been
1:25
gone for but last thing I remember we were met like the
1:30
fish people and Max got some space weed, some spleed from him
1:36
and he did a bunch of mildly problematic things with it.
1:41
But I then we went and found like this weird growing thing,
1:45
glowing thing in the middle of like the planet and and when we
1:50
all touched it, weird things happened.
1:53
I don't know how long we've been gone for, but we're back
1:55
pitches. We come back to our adventurers
2:25
and to start out we see the whole of the planet of Cygnus.
2:28
Cygnus 7B. And what we see is the ocean
2:31
folding in on itself like a a cathedral made of pressure free
2:35
contrails of light cut through the dark.
2:38
Your Martha's hum not with confidence but recognition.
2:42
You have been judged, but the war did not wait for you.
2:45
So how do the three of you feel being on your own in different
2:49
sects of this planet, on places you've never you never were at
2:52
before? I mean, can can we?
2:55
If we're on the ocean floor? I remember you saying it's
2:59
pretty dark down here. Can we even see?
3:04
Yeah, your new Ranger suits have lights built into the helmets.
3:08
So that's kind of sick, actually.
3:11
That is pretty sick. Reference there to Mighty
3:14
Morphin Power Rangers when they're fighting Ibanez in that
3:17
factory, and they put the lights on to see if they'll to see
3:20
what's going on. But yeah, you woke up from your
3:24
flashback and you had this, this voice of what you can only
3:28
assume to be the core of the planet, which was the last thing
3:30
you touched before you went into these visions.
3:34
I guess it stands to reason. I guess we've never really been
3:38
far enough apart to really even bother to try.
3:42
Can we communicate with each other over distance?
3:45
You can give it a go if you can figure out the buttons, because
3:49
we all remember the last time you tried messing around with
3:51
wiggy suit powers, you ended up teleporting into the middle of
3:53
an ocean. So yeah, I'm going to, I'm
3:58
trying to think if I can make anything.
4:01
I'm going to see if it's possible for me to use my liquid
4:05
metal to make. I don't know if I I want to say
4:09
like a transmission device but if they don't have anything to
4:11
receive it on then it wouldn't help.
4:13
Can I make a tracker that allows me to like detect them?
4:19
OK, right. What we're going to do here?
4:20
Roll 2D6 plus superior, but at disadvantage because you've
4:26
never made something that tracks live organisms before.
4:31
Instead of tracking, can it track their morphers?
4:33
I want to track them via the grid.
4:35
OK. You can, you can try, Yeah,
4:36
we'll just do that regular roll because you're connected to the
4:39
grid. You said plus superior.
4:41
Yeah. Five and a four, so in nine.
4:43
OK, you you morph this liquid metal into a tracker and it has
4:49
two very weak signals on it, and they're both sort of in a
4:55
diagonal from you, but in different directions.
5:01
I should have. Can I, I, I believe I've
5:06
mentioned before, I can talk to the PERD, right?
5:09
Yes, I have a radio link to the PERD.
5:11
You can, yes. So I'm going to contact it and
5:17
tell it to come pick me up. OK, yeah.
5:21
And a couple maybe 20 minutes go by and the PERD lands in front
5:27
of you. OK, I'm just going to.
5:28
It doesn't even need a land. I'm just going to swim into like
5:30
the Hatch and get into it and then I'm going to I'll, I'll
5:34
figure out what I'm going to do from there once I have it.
5:48
How's everybody else reacting? I think Spencer's still pretty
5:52
upset that she doesn't know how to swim and she's disoriented in
5:55
the middle of the ocean and she's fuck, what the fuck am I
6:00
going to do? And I think she tries to reach
6:02
the guys on the radio. I think Max was going to try and
6:06
do the same thing. I think OK.
6:10
Yeah, roll 22-D6 plus mundane, both of you.
6:16
OK well this sucks. I rolled A7 which means I got a
6:20
six. I got a three.
6:24
OK, because of both of these new suits, you can't really figure
6:27
out how to activate the radio transmission feature on your
6:33
helmets. I'm glad I didn't do that then.
6:36
Makes sense. So I guess with that, Spencer's
6:40
just going to start walking. She doesn't know what else to
6:42
do. She's just going to start
6:43
walking. She can't fucking swim, so you
6:47
know. Using using the perd, can I
6:50
contact them? Yeah, but you can go, yeah, it's
6:54
going to be easier for you to use the perd to the same button.
6:58
I'm just going to open like the open the channel to everybody
7:01
and just say I'm on the way. I got I got the ship, I'm I'm
7:05
headed to you guys. Just stay where you're at.
7:07
Oh thank fuck all. Right.
7:10
Cool. Great.
7:12
Thanks Murph. Thank God one of us has our shit
7:16
together. I think knowing that Spencer
7:18
doesn't know how to swim and would probably be more scared,
7:21
he's going to go to her first. Max can.
7:24
Max can fucking fly underwater, but he hasn't done that yet
7:29
because he refuses to so. We're not going to open up.
7:31
This discussion again. I really think that we could
7:35
open it up again. Yeah.
7:39
So you, you know, about 40 minutes go by and you pick up
7:42
both of them and are you going to have a chat or are you just
7:46
going to go straight back into? Oh, I mean, I feel like once we
7:49
pick up Max we'll probably just float there and figure our shit
7:52
out before we go anywhere. Else, yeah, So what?
7:56
What are you going to say to each other?
8:00
So like, what the fuck, guys? I don't fucking know, man.
8:05
Did you guys also have some like crazy mental shit happen to you
8:10
that you now? I don't want to talk about it.
8:12
Yeah, actually, I, you know, all things considered, you know, I
8:16
know this new Ranger suit looks a lot different than what you're
8:20
used to seeing right now, but I feel pretty good, all that.
8:25
Did you guys hear like a voice saying that you were judged
8:28
worthy? Kind of.
8:31
Some something like that? So I, I, I guess we got to go
8:37
back to where we were. Yeah.
8:41
Computer, where are we? Wait, first of all Computer.
8:44
How are you doing Computer? Much better now, thank you,
8:47
Murphy. Oh, look.
8:48
At. That oh, did you fix the virus
8:51
yourself? Well, you have been gone for
8:54
five weeks. I'm sorry.
8:56
What? Did did you not had any any
9:02
contact we made for five weeks. So I had to figure out the virus
9:05
on my own. What?
9:08
That's not. Great.
9:09
I mean I, I feel like I remember like a day and a half Max.
9:16
Yes. No do.
9:23
You ask work. All.
9:33
Right as we're, as we're like, going on back to where we were.
9:39
Do we wanna like, call Zordon and maybe tell him we're alive?
9:45
Yep, I think we should do that and maybe get some guidance
9:48
about what's going on 'cause if we've seriously lost five weeks
9:53
of time, I'm concerned about what's, I'm concerned about
9:57
everything. Yeah, those fish guys.
9:59
We're just going to pull Max aside and just go Max might want
10:03
to check your phone for messages from Sarah.
10:06
Oh fuck, the last thing we did use was all that shit before.
10:15
The messages that gave me. I ran damage control guys,
10:19
remember I told her that we stole your phone.
10:22
But it's been 5. Weeks.
10:24
It has been 5 weeks. All right, Murphy, who calls
10:27
Zordon. I have to go make sure my love
10:29
life is OK. I don't think it's going.
10:33
To be OK, brother. All right, well, time to no time
10:39
like the present to salvage. Max is going to whip open his
10:43
phone. Yeah, Murph's going to try and
10:47
punch up Zordon on the main screen.
10:50
And Spencer is going to make some protein pancakes because
10:52
she's fucking starving, dude. Yeah, fair, fair.
11:10
OK, who wants to go first, Murphy or Max?
11:15
I'll start. OK, You call FRU and you you
11:21
get, you get Fru. Somehow he managed to answer the
11:25
phone this time, even though he has no hands.
11:28
And he goes, Ah, Murphy. We're still tired.
11:33
Oh, I didn't know you disappeared.
11:37
You son of a bitch. And he hangs up.
11:58
He didn't even. Know we were going.
12:00
What the fuck dude, we haven't. We haven't talked to him for so
12:06
long. But you'd think he'd still be
12:08
like keeping an eye on things like.
12:11
You never let him explain himself.
12:16
He doesn't. He doesn't need to.
12:17
He doesn't need to know that we haven't been around for five
12:19
weeks if he didn't know. Yeah, exactly.
12:24
While you're looking at this screen, though, you see several
12:29
like calls for help from a planet called New Eden.
12:33
Oh God. Oh, what's the time stamp?
12:37
Was it way too long ago to be helpful?
12:40
Yeah, it was like 2 1/2 weeks ago.
12:42
Clear notifications. And you have one, one voicemail.
12:49
From. From New Eden.
12:52
Oh good. Maybe we should listen to it
12:54
before we delete it and then just delete it and pretend like
12:57
we never heard it. Look, we have a we have an
13:02
excuse. There was like war raging on
13:06
this planet. Play play voicemail.
13:10
I didn't even tell you he had voicemail.
13:13
I didn't either. I thought that was sort of like
13:16
an archaic thing that only old people did.
13:19
Rangers, we we could really use some help here.
13:23
There's some giant Moor in the sky coming to attack this
13:27
planet, and our valuable resources cannot be misplaced.
13:34
Phoebe is life depends on this planet being here, and we we,
13:40
we, we cannot lose that. And we also have some very
13:42
special projects in the works. I mean, we don't want to
13:46
jeopardize everything we have we have built here.
13:49
So please save us. Please.
13:53
Phoebe, you say? Merce Merce is going to look at
13:56
the time stamp. How long ago was this?
13:59
Like 2 1/2 weeks ago. Max is going to push the delete
14:03
button on. Keyboard wait, wait wait wait
14:05
wait, Max mark on red and delete.
14:09
OK, voicemails. Oh yeah, let's mark that as on
14:13
red before we delete it. We never.
14:18
Got good call. Wait, Max, isn't that the guy
14:23
who works at FEBE with you? Max pushes delete several more
14:28
times. Why was he on another planet?
14:33
I, I don't want to know, man, that's I'm, I'm was just
14:39
starting to feel good. I don't want to have to think
14:41
about my job again. Amongst you see you have like 38
14:49
messages. Oh fuck.
14:51
All right. None of them are angry messages.
14:54
The first ones like lol you you and you and Murphy are so funny
14:59
ha ha ha ha. And then it it goes deeper into
15:04
concern because she hasn't heard of from you from a certain
15:06
amount of time. Can I can I quick call Sarah?
15:11
Yeah, yeah, yeah. OK.
15:17
We know what happened the last time you called Sarah, you just
15:19
spoke at her and just hung up on the phone while she.
15:22
I'm going to call her again, maybe let her speak a little bit
15:26
this time. Hello Max.
15:31
Hey, Sarah, I'm sorry to. See, you're OK.
15:35
Yeah, oof. You know, we've been, we've been
15:39
fighting this crazy war with fish people.
15:42
Hi, Sarah. Hi, Sarah.
15:44
Oh, yeah. Sarah.
15:45
Hi, Sarah. Hi.
15:48
Hi kids, how you doing Murphy? It was nice to meet.
15:54
You. Hi, Sarah.
15:56
Max. Did she say hi?
15:57
Yeah, she said. Here it's it's on speakerphone,
16:00
Sarah, you're on speakerphone with Spencer and Murphy.
16:04
Hi kids, hope you're. OK.
16:06
Hi, Sarah. We're we've been.
16:07
Yeah, we're really disoriented. Marks of places you're gonna
16:11
look after these children. He's doing a bad job, Sarah.
16:16
All right. Really, really negligent.
16:18
All right, they look, this is the, these are the kinds of like
16:24
jokes we like to play on each other.
16:25
Like, ha ha, oh, negligent father.
16:28
You know, it's, it's not like I'm actually, you know, a, a OK,
16:35
you, you know what I mean, Max. 'S point I'm the responsible 1,
16:38
so I. Already knew you were
16:39
responsible, mercy when when you turned my cubicle a month and a
16:43
half ago. I'm just here for the vibes
16:48
anyway. Oh, vibes.
16:50
Well, Max is talking. Murphy's going to go turn on the
16:52
fog machine and disco ball. Great.
16:56
I, I just wanted to call you to let you know that I'm OK.
16:59
We've been. We've been hard at work fighting
17:01
some battles, all three of us, we've been.
17:04
Unconscious for five weeks? You.
17:08
Weren't supposed to say. That I just like in.
17:10
I just like the thought that in the background there's also got
17:12
like some techno on and it's just like.
17:17
Spencer what a funny joke, you know, No, it's.
17:21
Not a joke, I'm genuinely concerned.
17:23
None of us know what happened. We just woke up.
17:26
This is the first thing we're doing.
17:28
Man, you know when you're when you're out here fighting wars
17:30
against fish people and you know, blood and sweat and tears
17:35
and all that, you know, you kind of get lost in your work.
17:39
You know how it is at Phoebe, right?
17:40
But you know, I think it's. Because of all the squid that
17:43
you've been smoking. Max Squid I.
17:45
Didn't know you saw the drugs, Max.
17:48
Like a lot of them, he kept kind.
17:50
Of he kept. Doing this like this weird
17:52
racist thing where he kept asking the same guy over and
17:55
over again for free squid. I.
17:58
I'm like really buffed up. We keep getting in trouble on
18:02
every single planet that we go to for space racism, space ISM
18:06
and. OK, I just I.
18:09
Think it's important that you have a camera?
18:11
Spencer, I hit booze. That's true.
18:13
They let us have booze. If that were to have happened,
18:17
it would have only happened once and it didn't happen.
18:22
Speed isn't a thing. OK, did you say there's a little
18:26
buggy floats out? You fuck it, Yeah.
18:29
Yeah, we're not on FaceTime. She can't see the Sweed, but Max
18:36
grabs it and stuffs it back in his suit.
18:40
OK, sorry, I'll leave you guys alone.
18:42
You. Sound like you're really busy.
18:45
I've got deadline to meet here Max.
18:46
So I'll, I'll, I'll message you when I finish work, OK?
18:51
OK, I I just wanted to say hi and I know I haven't responded
18:54
in a while, but I just, I want to say thank you, Spencer.
19:03
Oh, OK. She said it, but I also all
19:07
right, have fun with work. Bye.
19:11
That was smooth. Great job.
19:14
Man, great job, very proud of you.
19:16
I'm working on it. OK, I thought that was a little
19:19
bit better than the last time. I don't know.
19:22
You at least let her talk this time.
19:23
It's. Hard to be worse.
19:25
You know worse, right? I put you guys on speakerphone
19:28
to say hi to Sarah. Not you never took us off like
19:31
an idiot. Yeah, you, you had control over
19:34
what happened there. You could have ended that at any
19:36
time. While you're having this
19:39
conversation, you hear explosions in the distance.
19:43
Oh, I'm sure that's a good thing.
19:44
All right, back to work. All right, folks, fun's over.
20:04
OK. So I'm assuming you take the
20:06
purd over it's in that direction.
20:08
Yeah, bring us to that computer. So you end up at a place called
20:12
the Fracture Line. It's a spiring, spiralling
20:15
battlefield where both factions are clashing over the core.
20:20
Basically the there's been a new area found where it goes
20:24
straight down to the core. They don't have to go through
20:26
the caves. It's one shaft that goes
20:28
straight to the middle of the the core of the planet.
20:33
Did you say 1 shaft? One shaft, yes.
20:36
Cool one shaft on the fracture line.
20:39
Yeah. One shaft.
20:40
Sounds like an episode titled to me.
20:41
That does sound like an episode titled to me as well.
20:45
Also, just out of curiosity, would you describe this as like
20:48
a whole or a shaft? It's about both.
20:52
It's a whole that leads into a shaft.
20:55
Damn, that's meta. Interesting, I can't wait to
21:00
explore your shaft hole hybrid. It's like the best of most
21:06
world. Yeah, from, from what you can
21:11
see in your absence, the war has been escalated.
21:16
Civilians are being used as Shields by both sides of the
21:19
army. This seems like a problem.
21:23
Seems really bad. And you can tell that there's
21:26
something going on with the core as there's a deep thumb that you
21:30
can hear coming from the whole shaft.
21:32
How big is the shaft? Like is it big enough that we
21:35
could fly the perd through it? Or is.
21:36
It no, it's not that big. It's not that big.
21:39
So fellers, what's the plan here?
21:44
Are we going to, are we going to try and play peacekeeper?
21:46
Are we going to try and just like shut down the core?
21:49
Like what do you guys want to do?
21:50
Well, I say we have a couple of different ways we can go about
21:53
it. First of all, we could go and we
21:56
could shoot and we could try and just get to the core.
21:58
Obviously that's what we need to get to, right?
22:00
But I don't know if that's going to stop the war.
22:02
It might if they're not fighting over it, if we have it.
22:04
But the problem is if we go straight to it, they might try
22:08
and stop us getting out with it. The other option, since we're
22:13
just sort of floating above it in the Purge, we could just drop
22:18
out in our zords and do some shock and awe.
22:21
Yeah, I like that idea. Yeah, and I mean, to be fair,
22:26
like they're both using human Shields, so I know one of them
22:28
is like fish Nazis and one of them is like, like not.
22:33
Not sees. Lobster Nazis and like fish
22:37
hippies. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
22:39
That's what it was. But like, they're both using
22:42
human Shields. So like they're both not great.
22:44
So I don't feel. Bad about both sides.
22:46
I don't feel bad about a little bit of shocking off.
22:49
Yeah. No, I mean, things have
22:50
devolved. Yeah.
22:52
I just say we kill everybody, take the corps, get out of here.
22:56
I mean even if we don't kill everybody, if we can at least
22:58
scatter the fighting to maybe then then if we get in we can
23:02
maybe get back out without having to fight through 2
23:04
armies. That's true.
23:07
With our two leggies. Nice, nice, Mark.
23:12
We're going to workshop that one a little bit more.
23:14
I think that's close. I don't know that one.
23:18
That one was all right. Max.
23:21
The fact that you think that makes means that it's just not.
23:25
OK. I thought it was close, and I
23:27
mean that very genuinely. I thought it was close, but it
23:30
wasn't. Wait, I'm out of curiosity Pert,
23:33
do you have any weapons? I have stun blasters.
23:38
Do you have a tractor beam? No, this is not Star Trek,
23:43
Spencer. Fuck.
23:46
It could also be Star Wars. Didn't they outlaw that in like
23:49
the 24th century? You're technically in the 31st
23:52
century, but you know. Yeah.
23:54
That's the number. Yeah, so we don't have that
23:56
fucking technology yet. That's disappointing.
23:59
Spencer trackers were so like 1500 years ago.
24:03
Well, I feel like 1 would be relatively useful in this
24:06
situation. Hey.
24:07
Hey Purd, Do you have any nuclear armaments on board do?
24:12
You have torpedoes. The only nuclear arm we have is
24:17
the nuclear fission generator that powers me.
24:20
OK, we're not going to. Yeah, we're not going.
24:22
To yeah, we shouldn't touch that.
24:24
No. Do you have torpedoes?
24:26
Wait, did you say fission generator?
24:28
Yes. We're in the 31st century.
24:30
Have we now figured out Fusion vision?
24:35
It's so barbaric. We were working on a budget.
24:39
This is an old ship, Max. How old?
24:42
I don't know. She noticed this.
24:43
They're not Max, but we're sort of the D team.
24:48
All right, you know what? The budget got blown on the 1st
24:50
4 ships. All right.
24:53
I'm and to answer your question, Murphy, yes, we do have
24:55
torpedoes. So like.
24:57
Oh, missiles. You know we're underwater, so
25:00
torpedoes makes more sense. So.
25:04
We're still flying underwater so they can still do missiles.
25:06
It's fine. Yeah, we're just floating here.
25:08
So like we could drop down on the resorts and have the PERD,
25:11
you know, do some carpet bombing.
25:13
Yeah, I love a good carpet bombing.
25:15
I think that makes sense of this scenario.
25:18
Do we? I guess the question is, do we
25:20
really want to try and like just mass murder an entire
25:24
population, even if they're at war well, or should we maybe see
25:28
if we can get them to stop? I mean maybe, maybe we try and
25:32
get them to stop and if they don't then we carpet bomb.
25:35
Or we just use the stun blasters on the bird.
25:38
Yeah, I mean, I think there's a reason the bird suggested stun
25:41
blasters first. Can we stun blast an entire
25:44
population's worth of sea creatures?
25:47
I could, but it would it would take a little while.
25:50
Water is a very conductive medium, so we should be able to
25:55
do it. That it is Spencer.
25:57
See, I paid attention in science class.
26:00
Good job, Spencer. Thank you.
26:02
Well, maybe let's sort up, let's set phasers to stun, and then
26:07
let's go from there. Bet yeah, we'll see what happens
26:10
when we get down there, all right?
26:11
I mean, it might just be a situation where we just have to
26:14
go ham, but I'd like to try to avoid killing an entire planet
26:18
again if possible. I mean, maybe if we show up with
26:22
three Zords and a Perd and we start stunning everybody and
26:27
we're just hey, stop fucking fighting so we can talk, maybe
26:32
they'll listen to us. And if not, then what's a little
26:35
bit of bombing? Maybe they'll listen to us more.
26:39
Just remember guys, you are heroes.
26:43
Yeah. Well.
26:45
You know what so was? So was the United States of
26:48
America in the 2000s, and they did a lot more of this.
26:55
That's true. There was a lot of carpet
26:56
bombing. I remember that from history
26:57
class. Yeah.
26:58
And what were they called? Daisy cutters?
27:00
Is that what they used in the. And Spencer looks at her hand
27:03
really fast, and there's like a hastily scrawled note, a rack
27:08
warp. Why was that wrapped down your?
27:10
Hand. How long did Ben seem to Spencer
27:15
wash their hands? It's a great.
27:18
Club she's. Not been into school for like.
27:25
Flashback dispenser tattooing the words Iraq wore on her
27:28
hands. Palm.
27:30
It's the palm of her hands. God is that's fucking Canon now.
27:39
All right, Perd, can you add tattoo removal onto like the
27:43
next destination we go? I you know, this is the first
27:47
time that we've noticed this and that's a little worrying.
27:55
Did you name your fist's mission to accomplish?
27:57
I don't think we need to talk about that now, OK.
28:00
OK. Anyway.
28:02
Let's let's OK, let's Zords, let's go.
28:06
Yeah. So yeah, I guess we'll just, I
28:16
assume there's just like a hatch we can just eject ourselves out
28:19
of and as we fall. Just.
28:21
Go go Ranger Zords. Yeah 100% so you you all like
28:27
what's the fuck escape pod S blonde out of the purred and
28:33
actually fall in all three of the summon your zords so.
28:38
Spencer's trapping to the bottom of the ocean inside of a
28:41
gigantic rhinoceros sword. Yeah.
28:44
Yeah, and the strict sword and the one that I can't remember
28:54
how to pronounce the name Zord, the Alicanto.
28:57
That's the one That Alicanto Zord comes out and the war
29:01
doesn't stop. People still fight and nobody's
29:04
even paying attention to these three giant robots that have
29:07
come out. What if we like laying in the
29:09
middle and just like be big and imposing?
29:12
Does anybody give a shit? No, this is this is this war is
29:17
now the. It's like the final battle,
29:22
basically. Perd start stunning.
29:25
Yeah, yeah, let's let's get to work, I guess.
29:28
Yeah, right. Who wants to roll directly
29:31
engage a threat for the PERD? We all suck at dice.
29:33
Fuck. Who's Yeah, I used all my luck
29:36
for today already. There's no way in hell that I'm
29:38
going to roll better than I have.
29:40
Directly engage a threat? What is that?
29:44
It is. Danger.
29:47
Freak. I think it's plus freak.
29:49
I shouldn't do freak, I have a -1.
29:52
I might be good. At.
29:53
Freak. Oh I'm good at freak.
29:56
I have a + 2. Plus danger.
29:58
It's plus danger. Oh, it's plus danger.
30:00
I'm good at that. I can do it.
30:02
I have a + 2. I rolled an 11 + 2.
30:05
We have a 13. OK.
30:07
My dice are on fucking fire tonight.
30:11
Yeah, so the perv starts just blasting knees stunned bullets
30:17
out. And you know, anybody who has a
30:20
civilian, the civilian ends up stunned as well because the
30:22
current travels through each of them.
30:26
And you know, it's like 5 shots and then it has to do like a
30:30
quick reload, five shots, quick reload.
30:33
So you know this, if you're trying to take out the whole
30:36
battlefield, it will take a while to to do.
30:40
Are they attacking us at all or did they just not give a shit
30:42
about? It they just, they don't care.
30:45
Well, I mean, if they're not going to pay attention to us,
30:46
let's just go steal the heart. Yeah, let's go to the hole.
30:49
We'll see what happens. Shaft, hole, hole shaft.
30:53
Whatever it is we're going for. It down the.
30:56
Shaft. To the hole do we?
30:57
Can we fit in our zords or do we have to get out?
31:00
You cannot fit in the zords, you have to go.
31:03
All right, well, I think this makes it even easier.
31:06
But the zords away I guess. God, I never got to use my giant
31:10
robot. Man, Murph, I as we're swimming
31:14
down, I looked at Murphy and Spencer and I'm like, all right,
31:18
depending on how big this heart is, what if one of us has the
31:21
heart tries to swim up to the perd and the other two of us use
31:26
the robots to cause a distraction of like, hey, we
31:29
took your heart. If anybody's looking, if they're
31:32
not, then we just take it and go.
31:35
But if they are, but we. We got to it before, remember,
31:38
it's the last thing we touched before we vanished.
31:39
It was the the weird green the motor looking thing.
31:44
Oh yeah. Look like one of those ancient
31:46
combustion engines. Oh yeah, that's a something like
31:49
that. All right, well, let's just take
31:51
it and go. And if they stop us, then we
31:54
can, I don't know, fan out using the giant robots, meet the perd
31:57
in like the atmosphere or something.
31:59
And. We'll figure it out.
32:02
My robot doesn't fly. I would like to remind you of
32:04
that fact. We.
32:06
Can carry you fairly easily. Yeah, OK.
32:10
I'll figure it out. I want one of yours to roll a
32:14
singular D6. Singular D6, I got it.
32:19
I don't got it. That's a one.
32:22
OK, so as you are heading towards the whole shaft, the
32:26
shaft hole, whatever you want to call it, scholl the Shoal.
32:30
There you go. You here behind you, the
32:34
mechanical purr of what sounds to be like a a tank or the fish
32:40
equivalent of the tank, whatever that looks like.
32:44
And it has two Gatling guns on the top, a flame thrower.
32:50
Well, they start flame throw. It's like hot water, boiling
32:54
water thrower. Wild.
32:56
And it has obviously a cannon on the front and you see it heading
33:01
towards like a group of civilians who've managed to
33:04
escape of fish people. And the lobster people just open
33:09
fire. And you see this group of fish
33:13
people reverse mermaids. I'll get obliterated by this
33:18
tank. Fuck.
33:20
So was this this was before we'd get into the hole, right?
33:23
Yes. Oh, we're supposed to be heroes.
33:28
God damn it, I'll go deal with the tank.
33:30
I can't swim anyway. I'll deal with the tank in my
33:33
sword and the two of you go get the heart all.
33:35
Right. Max, I think you should stay.
33:39
I'll go in. Yeah, Spencer, you want some
33:43
backup? I am fine without it, but if you
33:46
are planning on staying that's fine too.
33:48
Just don't get in my way all right?
33:50
And Spencer's like already getting summoning her sword
33:53
again. I think Max is going to give her
33:57
a second swim up, summon his sword and kind of go to the
34:01
other side. Give her some space.
34:04
Okie, Dokie. Look at me, I learned.
34:07
I learned how we fight. And Spencer's plan is to just
34:11
square up directly against the tank and charge it.
34:28
OK, we'll go to Murphy for a minute.
34:32
So as you start going down this show, you see that it is
34:38
littered with bodies from both sides, sides of the armies.
34:43
Not just like one or two bodies. There's hundreds of bodies
34:46
actually walking through. And you get to a certain point
34:51
and you see the main lobster man, apparently.
34:56
Yeah. Larry the Lobster, we didn't
34:58
call it. That wasn't his original name,
35:00
but I don't remember what his actual name was.
35:03
And he go, and he's like, if you're here to stop me, prepare
35:08
to die. What do you stop?
35:10
You from what? What are you trying to do?
35:12
Take the call. Why?
35:15
To rule this planet. What does it do for you?
35:19
He, he who owns the core, owns the planet.
35:22
That's how it goes. So if I take the core, I own the
35:25
planet, even if I don't have it, Even if I'm not on the planet.
35:28
It seems like a really flawed logic of something that's
35:31
movable. Well, you have to be worthy to
35:33
move it. Oh well, what if I can move it?
35:37
Then you can you can move it, but can you move?
35:40
It who says? I don't know, I've not tried
35:44
yet. Try.
35:46
No, no, no. OK, Well, I'll tell you what.
35:48
What do we get there? I'll let you have first crack.
35:50
If you can move it, you can have it.
35:52
If I can move it, I can have it. Fair.
35:54
But what about the other fish people?
35:57
Are there any more laughter? Did you kill them all?
36:00
There's there's still a lot of this shaft to go.
36:04
Well, if they can't move it, you guys are going under the
36:07
assumption that any of you can move it.
36:09
He has. He who is worthy has not been
36:12
deemed yet. That's why we need to take it.
36:15
I don't want to align myself with a lobster, but I also feel
36:18
like, let me think about this. I got to.
36:21
I got to figure out how I want to approach this.
36:37
OK, we'll go back to Spence from Max.
36:41
So guys, what? What's your plan?
36:44
I think so. I'm looking at the Zord powers
36:46
that I have and I have electrodynamic control.
36:49
So it feels to me like Max goes in and just does like a like a
36:55
bombing run. Just sends a whole bunch of
36:57
electricity to basically stun these guys in place for long
37:00
enough to Spencer for Spencer to knock them down.
37:03
OK, roll a directly engaged frap please.
37:07
That's plus danger. Yes.
37:10
That's a 10. OK, yeah, so your bombing run is
37:13
successful and the the stun, I'm assuming you're using stun
37:19
disables the tank for a little bit.
37:22
Spencer, Europe, my friend. Spencer's plan, especially now
37:26
the tank is disabled, is to just charge it and flip it
37:29
essentially so that it cannot work anymore.
37:32
OK, again, roll directly. Engage your friend, my friend.
37:36
You got it. Adding your bonuses or you doing
37:39
your moves? No, I'm not.
37:41
I don't need them because I roll the 12.
37:45
Damn, your dice are hot today. They're so hot tonight.
37:48
What the shit? These are ones that I don't
37:50
normally use. I really have to switch my shit
37:52
up. Yes.
37:55
Tell me what happens. Spencer, in her behemoth sword,
38:01
paws the ground once, twice, three times, and then just puts
38:06
her head down and charges straight at it, horns pointed,
38:09
and uses her horns to just flip it over onto its side like it's
38:13
fucking nothing. And you know, the fact that
38:15
we're underwater means that gravity is a little bit more on
38:17
her side, and it's too easy. It's like flipping a fucking
38:21
pancake. Yeah, and you just see all these
38:24
lots of people like scattering to get out and then run.
38:29
But now both of you have been have caused aggro to be directed
38:34
at you and lots of people have started opening fire on your
38:38
zords. Thanks for the hand Max.
38:42
Anytime, Spence. Think we're in a deep shit now
38:46
though. Well, let's let's see what these
38:50
zords can do, right? Yes, Sir.
39:06
Murphy, what are you doing, my friend?
39:10
OK, I'm trying to just I I I have a path I want to take.
39:14
I'm just trying to decide if I should do this move first.
39:19
All right? Yeah, I'm going to do.
39:20
Before I say anything, I'm going to Pierce the mask.
39:23
Oh damn. Whoa.
39:25
We never use that one. So plus mundane which before I
39:31
look at the dice, what is my mundane that is +2?
39:34
I think mundane plus. 2. 567 OK, so let's see, I get one
39:42
question. How can I gain influence over
39:46
Larry the Lobster? You would be able to gain
39:53
influence over Larry the Lobster if you were to start attacking
40:00
the fish people with him. All right, so I'm going to have
40:04
a conversation, and part of this conversation is going to be a
40:07
role at some point to provoke. So Murph is going to kind of get
40:14
in this lobster's face a little bit, and he's going to go.
40:18
What makes you think that you're more worthy than the fish
40:20
people? You're all into provoke.
40:23
You're trying to provoke, right? Not yet.
40:25
I want to figure out where this conversation is going to go
40:27
before I do. I will, but I want to see where
40:30
this conversation is going to go before I do.
40:34
He replied. Why?
40:35
Why wouldn't the strong be the worthy ones on this planet?
40:38
Why wouldn't the wise be the worthy 1?
40:41
Because the Wise spend all their days smoking spweed.
40:45
Hell yeah, brother. Just because their way of life
40:47
is different than yours doesn't mean yours is the correct one.
40:51
We need a planet that gets stuff done.
40:54
Ever since the Great Catalyst all those years ago, things have
40:57
been different. And what would you do if I took
41:00
it? What would happen to the planet
41:02
if I took the IT took the heart? Would you work together if
41:05
there's nothing to fight over? That remains to be seen.
41:10
OK, this is where I want to provoke.
41:12
I want to say that I challenge you to a worthiness with you, me
41:17
and the fish. Whoever gets it gets the heart.
41:20
So we got to stop the war first. No more fighting, no more death.
41:24
Roll plus superior my friend. Oh I think I have a 0 superior.
41:30
Fuck I do that's A5. My dice are not hot.
41:35
Nah, nothing happens and he goes I knew you were a waste of
41:41
space. I need charges to attack.
42:23
Music.
