• 2:34
  Speaker 2: There is a lie. That is a damn fucking lie.
• 2:37
  Speaker 3: We spent too much time on this ship for you
• 2:39
  Speaker 3: just to be like I quit because guess what.
• 2:41
  Speaker 1: I just well, I just might if you keep calling me.
• 2:44
  Speaker 2: Pooky pooh key and what and what and what.
• 2:54
  Speaker 1: And what? Hi?
• 2:57
  Speaker 3: I'm Devin the ginger with no soul that I'm always
• 3:00
  Speaker 3: afraid I have. If I step on holy ground'm going
• 3:02
  Speaker 3: to burst in the flames.
• 3:04
  Speaker 1: And see who's being who's being pessimistic?
• 3:07
  Speaker 3: Now, I'm sorry, I can't step on holy ground. If
• 3:11
  Speaker 3: I step into a church, I'm gonna burst in the flames.
• 3:14
  Speaker 1: Which is surprising because I'm pretty sure James at one
• 3:16
  Speaker 1: point consecrated the ground around this house.
• 3:18
  Speaker 2: But well, apparently he didn't do a very good job.
• 3:21
  Speaker 1: Yeah, he may have used the wrong kind of oil
• 3:22
  Speaker 1: instead of using holy, instead of using a whole like
• 3:25
  Speaker 1: an nooise at oil, he probably used like, I don't know,
• 3:27
  Speaker 1: some sort of like something gay.
• 3:29
  Speaker 4: No no, no, no, no, it's something he did something unholy.
• 3:34
  Speaker 4: Uh God, And now every now and then it summons
• 3:40
  Speaker 4: up maggots from the ground.
• 3:41
  Speaker 1: Who knows?
• 3:43
  Speaker 2: That makes so much sense?
• 3:45

• 5:24
  Speaker 3: Dead Silence, Uh is a sci fi science fiction horror
• 5:29
  Speaker 3: film and it's by S. A. Barnes, which is a
• 5:33
  Speaker 3: pen name for the author, Stacey Cade. Yeah, that's the.
• 5:41

• 5:49
  Speaker 2: Movie a movie. There's not a movie.
• 5:52
  Speaker 1: I mean there is a movie called Dead Silence, but
• 5:54
  Speaker 1: it's completely it has a completely different plot. But anyway, Yeah,
• 5:57
  Speaker 1: so Dead Silence is a science is a science sci
• 6:00
  Speaker 1: fi fantasy horror novel. Takes place, of course, in space. Uh.
• 6:05
  Speaker 1: It's basically centered around, uh, a luxury cruise liner that
• 6:12
  Speaker 1: went missing. Several that went that has been missing for
• 6:16
  Speaker 1: I'd say, what over a decade or so, like several
• 6:18
  Speaker 1: it's been.
• 6:19
  Speaker 3: Like I think it was. I think it was at
• 6:23
  Speaker 3: least a decade, maybe two. The main character now quite
• 6:27
  Speaker 3: some time.
• 6:28
  Speaker 1: No, no, no, it was like the main character was
• 6:31
  Speaker 1: a little girl when it went missing, and I think
• 6:32
  Speaker 1: her like she had family on it, like she had.
• 6:36
  Speaker 3: A No, her backstory was something was, something different, had
• 6:41
  Speaker 3: nothing to do with the cruise ship.
• 6:42
  Speaker 1: Right, she was a little girl. But she was a
• 6:44
  Speaker 1: little girl. She does. When she was a little girl,
• 6:46
  Speaker 1: she does remember that the ship, that the cruise ship
• 6:49
  Speaker 1: went missing, like it launched and then not long after
• 6:52
  Speaker 1: it's launched, it went missing. So the crew the cruise ship,
• 6:55
  Speaker 1: which I believe is called the Andromeda, Yeah, because of course,
• 7:01
  Speaker 1: and it gone missing. Well over, I'd say around two
• 7:07
  Speaker 1: twenty years ago. It's twenty years before the story actually
• 7:10
  Speaker 1: takes place.
• 7:12
  Speaker 2: Oh no, you're no, no, no, you're right. You're right.
• 7:14
  Speaker 3: She was on the Aura. Her last memories were her
• 7:18
  Speaker 3: and her crew discovered the your mind, sorry, don't listen
• 7:22
  Speaker 3: to me, don't listen to me.
• 7:23
  Speaker 1: Continue continue, Yeah, so the future Devin edit this lot
• 7:31
  Speaker 1: that last first part out. So yes. Dead Silence is
• 7:37
  Speaker 1: a is a sci fi horror book and it's the
• 7:43
  Speaker 1: plot takes place around a luxury cruise liner, the first
• 7:47
  Speaker 1: of its kind, so it takes this The story, of course,
• 7:50
  Speaker 1: takes place several hundred years in the future. Space exploration
• 7:54
  Speaker 1: is in full swing. We now have I believe there
• 7:58
  Speaker 1: is FDL travel, but they don't really talk much about it.
• 8:01
  Speaker 1: They talk about it, there's talk about colonization. The main
• 8:05
  Speaker 1: character is working on a special kind of like skiff
• 8:10
  Speaker 1: that travels to like the outer reaches to maintain this
• 8:14
  Speaker 1: space network. So it is a series of the main character, Claire.
• 8:21
  Speaker 1: She and her crew work on salvaging and repairing like
• 8:27
  Speaker 1: this network of buoys that are set up all around
• 8:30
  Speaker 1: like all out in space, within within explored territory. So
• 8:35
  Speaker 1: this is how like communications. This is how like this
• 8:38
  Speaker 1: is how their communication network works. When their people discover
• 8:43
  Speaker 1: a ghost signal, so it's the signal was pretty much
• 8:48
  Speaker 1: it would have been completely unnoticed if they weren't so
• 8:51
  Speaker 1: close to I believe it was because they were so
• 8:54
  Speaker 1: close to one of the booies that this signal was
• 8:56
  Speaker 1: being bounced off of it. And that's what they picked
• 8:58
  Speaker 1: up on. And at first they didn't want to deal.
• 9:03
  Speaker 1: They didn't want to deal with it because most of
• 9:04
  Speaker 1: them wanted to go home, their their contracts were ending.
• 9:07
  Speaker 1: They want to get paid. But then they realized, like,
• 9:09
  Speaker 1: this is either a first contact scenario or there might
• 9:12
  Speaker 1: be ah, there might be a lost ship. And the
• 9:19
  Speaker 1: thing is is, of course this lost ship would have
• 9:22
  Speaker 1: fallen under UH salvage laws. Of salvage laws. So if
• 9:28
  Speaker 1: you can so, if you can find, if you find
• 9:31
  Speaker 1: something in space drifting in space, you technically get the
• 9:34
  Speaker 1: first you get the what's it called, you get first DIBs.
• 9:38
  Speaker 1: You get the first DIBs on salvage. And if there
• 9:41
  Speaker 1: was like a reward for like finding the uh these
• 9:44
  Speaker 1: lost ships or or whatever REX, then you would get
• 9:48
  Speaker 1: that reward and you would get first pick of everything
• 9:50
  Speaker 1: and UH. After reviewing the signal, they realized the signal
• 9:54
  Speaker 1: is using an old like an old code like decades
• 9:57
  Speaker 1: old that is no longer being used by modern by
• 10:00
  Speaker 1: the modern mega mega cord. And after reviewing it, they
• 10:05
  Speaker 1: realized that this signal is possibly coming from a lost
• 10:10
  Speaker 1: luxury cruise liner called the Andromeda. Actually, what is the
• 10:17
  Speaker 1: name of the Oh no, I'm sorry, it's not the Andrama,
• 10:19
  Speaker 1: it's the Aurora. Okay, future out is the Aurora. And
• 10:24
  Speaker 1: the thing about the Aurora is that it was the
• 10:26
  Speaker 1: first and only ship of its kind. It was the
• 10:30
  Speaker 1: first space cruise liner, and it was built with every
• 10:35
  Speaker 1: luxury you can think of that you can think of,
• 10:37
  Speaker 1: all right. This was top notch space travel, all right,
• 10:43
  Speaker 1: you know, much like modern day cruise liners their luxury.
• 10:47
  Speaker 1: They're expensive, all right. They take you all over the place,
• 10:53
  Speaker 1: all right, and they're filled to the brim with all
• 10:55
  Speaker 1: kinds of different like amenity, these luxuries.
• 11:01
  Speaker 4: Uh.
• 11:02
  Speaker 1: And of course it's split into different tiers from ranging
• 11:05
  Speaker 1: from like bronze to platinum, all right, platinum being like
• 11:10
  Speaker 1: the most expensive and the most all inclusive, uh, pretty
• 11:16
  Speaker 1: much every amenity you can think of, right down to
• 11:19
  Speaker 1: even gold plated faucets and gold plated sinks. And when
• 11:25
  Speaker 1: they realized, when this crew really when Claire and her
• 11:27
  Speaker 1: crew realized that this ship could possibly be a could
• 11:32
  Speaker 1: possibly be the Aurora, they decide to take a trip
• 11:36
  Speaker 1: to intercept the Aurora. And it takes them about what
• 11:42
  Speaker 1: what was like three days to get to it.
• 11:47
  Speaker 3: Yes, I took it on like, yeah, it took my
• 11:50
  Speaker 3: three days to get to it their location.
• 11:54
  Speaker 1: Yeah, So since they had just finished there, since they
• 11:59
  Speaker 1: had just finished their mission in to salvage and set
• 12:03
  Speaker 1: up the new network of boot of communication buoyes. They decide,
• 12:09
  Speaker 1: all right, well, for them, this was basically like their
• 12:12
  Speaker 1: big shot, because their mission was to set up a
• 12:15
  Speaker 1: new network of communication buoyes that would be completely self
• 12:19
  Speaker 1: sufficient and wouldn't require crews like them to go out
• 12:24
  Speaker 1: for repairs they or go out for to like maintain
• 12:28
  Speaker 1: them or manage them or things like that. They would
• 12:30
  Speaker 1: be completely self sufficient. They would require as much oversight
• 12:33
  Speaker 1: like the old ones were, so basically they were setting
• 12:37
  Speaker 1: up their replacements. Yeah, no longer wouldy need to do
• 12:40
  Speaker 1: any of that. And after this mission, they all will
• 12:43
  Speaker 1: be out of jobs unless they, like, I mean some
• 12:46
  Speaker 1: of them, most of them will be out of jobs,
• 12:48
  Speaker 1: some of them with the company that they work for.
• 12:51
  Speaker 1: They it's clear that they have no future. Yeah, because
• 12:54
  Speaker 1: this is all they know how to do. So they
• 12:56
  Speaker 1: decide if this is if this derelicship really is, the
• 13:00
  Speaker 1: Aurora might as well claim salvage because the company itself,
• 13:06
  Speaker 1: the company they worked for, bought out the company that
• 13:08
  Speaker 1: originally owned the Aurora, So legally speaking, the Aurora would
• 13:14
  Speaker 1: belong to the company and the company would definitely crack
• 13:17
  Speaker 1: down and seize the ship for themselves. So what they
• 13:21
  Speaker 1: want to do is they claims of the Aurora and
• 13:27
  Speaker 1: reaped the and like what they were going to do
• 13:29
  Speaker 1: is that they were going to publish their claim so
• 13:32
  Speaker 1: that way the company can't just swoop in and just
• 13:35
  Speaker 1: ease a ship and like keep it under wraps because
• 13:38
  Speaker 1: the reason because the company had bought the reason why
• 13:41
  Speaker 1: the current their current company. What are the name of
• 13:44
  Speaker 1: the companies actually, so I'm not just calling like one
• 13:48
  Speaker 1: was called like yeah, Varix is the name of the
• 13:51
  Speaker 1: new one and the old one that was it's like
• 14:00
  Speaker 1: I think it was like Earth something.
• 14:03
  Speaker 3: There is probably the most important one, honestly, because the
• 14:06
  Speaker 3: other company doesn't exist anymore.
• 14:08
  Speaker 2: They kind of just absolved them.
• 14:10
  Speaker 1: Yeah. So when so the company that originally owned the Aurora,
• 14:18
  Speaker 1: they had because of the Aurora's disappearance, because this was
• 14:21
  Speaker 1: a huge pr disaster. It like months, like not even
• 14:26
  Speaker 1: three months after it's made in voyage, it goes missing,
• 14:30
  Speaker 1: no notice, no signals, nothing, It went completely dark. They
• 14:35
  Speaker 1: even though the original company tried to track down the Aurora,
• 14:39
  Speaker 1: they couldn't find it no matter what they did. All Right,
• 14:42
  Speaker 1: it was not on this pre they couldn't find it
• 14:45
  Speaker 1: anywhere along it's predetermined route. It wasn't anywhere they could
• 14:49
  Speaker 1: that they themselves could find. So as a result, that
• 14:53
  Speaker 1: company was sued the families of the families of the passengers,
• 14:59
  Speaker 1: who are very rich. By the way, these weren't just
• 15:02
  Speaker 1: like everyday cruise goers. These were We're talking the maiden
• 15:06
  Speaker 1: voyage was filled with some of the richest and most
• 15:11
  Speaker 1: influential people you could think of at that time, and
• 15:15
  Speaker 1: all of them had gone missing. So their families, their benefactors,
• 15:20
  Speaker 1: every single one of these, every single person, and up
• 15:24
  Speaker 1: all these all these families came together. They sued the uh,
• 15:28
  Speaker 1: the owners of the Aurora, to the point where they
• 15:31
  Speaker 1: went bankrupt, and one of their competitors, Verrex, ended up
• 15:35
  Speaker 1: buying out the company and seized all of their exploratory ships.
• 15:40
  Speaker 1: Because the Virex is now a mega corporation. They originally
• 15:45
  Speaker 1: their big their big deal was colonization and terrorforming. But
• 15:49
  Speaker 1: the other company that they ended up that Verreckx, ended
• 15:51
  Speaker 1: up buying out Wash. Before Verreks bought out this other company,
• 15:56
  Speaker 1: Verrex was the They were the terraformers. They were the
• 15:59
  Speaker 1: planet planetary development while then the original owners of the
• 16:04
  Speaker 1: Aurora were the ones that built the ships. They built
• 16:07
  Speaker 1: ships for exploratory missions and things like that. They were
• 16:10
  Speaker 1: they were the ones that pioneered space exploration. Yeah, but
• 16:16
  Speaker 1: then their competitor swooped in bought out the company, and
• 16:19
  Speaker 1: now Vrex is not only the leader in space exploration
• 16:25
  Speaker 1: but in terraforming as well. So Claire and her crewmates
• 16:32
  Speaker 1: voler Caine, Ladras and nisis are you pronouncing? I'm sorry,
• 16:46
  Speaker 1: there's like I think like dust is very high. I'm
• 16:50
  Speaker 1: not sure if it's just in my house, but oh
• 16:53
  Speaker 1: my god, I'm like, do I have like a tissue
• 16:56
  Speaker 1: near It's mainly the mustache, but my mustache does not
• 17:00
  Speaker 1: grow very very well, not like the wrist'll be.
• 17:05
  Speaker 2: Oh my musta. She is amazing, all good for you anyway.
• 17:10
  Speaker 1: Yeah, so anyway, uh so, Claire, along with her crewmates
• 17:17
  Speaker 1: voler Caine loud this and this and Nissus. I'm not
• 17:23
  Speaker 1: sure how to pronounce it. It's a very strong Spanish name.
• 17:26
  Speaker 1: It's loud, remember Lulu. She wants to try to explain
• 17:30
  Speaker 1: that her name is pronounced like loud dress like loudness.
• 17:36
  Speaker 2: I'm trying to remember how they pronounced it.
• 17:37
  Speaker 1: In the in the audiobook, I'm pretty sure like in English,
• 17:42
  Speaker 1: we would probably pronounce it lords.
• 17:45
  Speaker 3: Yeah, it was something else, something similar to what you
• 17:47
  Speaker 3: were saying with as far as the Spanish.
• 17:49
  Speaker 1: Pron yeah loud lord, yes, loudness, loudness, and this is anyway,
• 17:56
  Speaker 1: I'm just gonna call her lordis because I don't know
• 17:58
  Speaker 1: how to pronounce it. So the crew the way, so
• 18:07
  Speaker 1: the so Claire and her crew had ended up setting uh.
• 18:11
  Speaker 1: This made a decision to go ahead and find the Aurora.
• 18:15
  Speaker 1: They they leave, they leave the buoys behind, and after
• 18:22
  Speaker 1: about a few days of travel, they found they found
• 18:24
  Speaker 1: it and as far as they can tell, the ship
• 18:28
  Speaker 1: was in was in perfect condition mm hmm. And this
• 18:33
  Speaker 1: led them to begin This led them to begin to
• 18:35
  Speaker 1: believe that something was terribly wrong, like something was off,
• 18:41
  Speaker 1: because by all right, by all rights, this ship should
• 18:48
  Speaker 1: have been completely Everyone was led to believe that the
• 18:51
  Speaker 1: ship had just been destroyed, it had been lost, and
• 18:55
  Speaker 1: the initial search attempts did find debris that was believed
• 19:00
  Speaker 1: to have belonged to the Aurora or maybe some of
• 19:02
  Speaker 1: its escape pods, but they couldn't find the ship. Even
• 19:06
  Speaker 1: if the ship had blown up, there would have been
• 19:08
  Speaker 1: a large, there would have been remains, there would have
• 19:11
  Speaker 1: been a wreckage, but after a quick cursory glance at
• 19:15
  Speaker 1: the outside hull of the ship, the Aurora looked fine.
• 19:19
  Speaker 1: They did do a flyover. So the way the ship
• 19:23
  Speaker 1: is built, I mean it just imagine like a typical
• 19:26
  Speaker 1: luxury cruise liner but as a spaceship. But on either
• 19:31
  Speaker 1: ends of this of the Aurora, there were these atrium
• 19:35
  Speaker 1: like observation deck observation decks, and in one they can
• 19:41
  Speaker 1: see they can clearly see that there was some there
• 19:45
  Speaker 1: had been some kind of fight on the ship, like
• 19:49
  Speaker 1: it was in one atrium, like both atriums had pools
• 19:52
  Speaker 1: in them or actually, I'm sorry, one had a pull
• 19:54
  Speaker 1: and the other one was more of like a greenhouse
• 19:57
  Speaker 1: and the one with a pole. They noticed that one
• 20:00
  Speaker 1: the water was completely frozen. And but they can see
• 20:04
  Speaker 1: clear signs of like some kind of fight, like there
• 20:07
  Speaker 1: may have been an explosion. They could see the uh,
• 20:10
  Speaker 1: they could see the doors leading leading into the atrium
• 20:14
  Speaker 1: were blown off their hinges, but they couldn't really see
• 20:16
  Speaker 1: much else though they saw stains on the on the
• 20:19
  Speaker 1: floor that looked like they may have been blood. So
• 20:26
  Speaker 1: they decide, all right, let's try to dock with the ship,
• 20:29
  Speaker 1: and using old old company codes that allowed them to
• 20:34
  Speaker 1: remote access the ship, they were able to open one
• 20:36
  Speaker 1: of the docking base and h and lamb and dock
• 20:41
  Speaker 1: with the ship, picking just three people out from the
• 20:44
  Speaker 1: from their crew. They do, man, they do go into
• 20:47
  Speaker 1: the ship and begin to explore Claire. I should say, uh,
• 20:53
  Speaker 1: I want to point out that Claire, the main character,
• 20:55
  Speaker 1: Claire is she had let's just say, she has her
• 21:01
  Speaker 1: own demons, tum her her own trauma. Yeah. She she
• 21:09
  Speaker 1: herself was was the only survivor of a horrific pandemic
• 21:15
  Speaker 1: that killed everyone in her in her home. She used
• 21:20
  Speaker 1: to be a colonist on I believe it was on Mars, right.
• 21:25
  Speaker 2: I thinks so are something similar to that vein.
• 21:28
  Speaker 1: I'm pretty sure the only one.
• 21:29
  Speaker 2: That she was the only one that survived of the
• 21:31
  Speaker 2: facility or and whatnot.
• 21:33
  Speaker 1: Yeah, when she was a little girl, she uh, she
• 21:38
  Speaker 1: was living on a colony. She was living on a colony,
• 21:41
  Speaker 1: and uh, there had been an outbreak of a disease.
• 21:45
  Speaker 1: Now they had quarantined. This had resulted in half of
• 21:48
  Speaker 1: that colony being quarantined and they had managed to like
• 21:53
  Speaker 1: stop the spread of the infection at first, but Claire,
• 21:57
  Speaker 1: for some reason, she experienced is hallucinations and she thought
• 22:04
  Speaker 1: she saw she thought she saw a friend of hers
• 22:09
  Speaker 1: who had been quarantined and who had been quarantined. She
• 22:12
  Speaker 1: was part of the people that were in the other
• 22:14
  Speaker 1: half of the colony that was quarantined. But she saw
• 22:16
  Speaker 1: this little girl running around outside of the quarantine and
• 22:21
  Speaker 1: she thought, oh, she must be okay. So unfortunately Claire
• 22:25
  Speaker 1: ended up breaking quarantine because she followed this image of
• 22:30
  Speaker 1: this girl into the quarantine section, and unfortunately it caused
• 22:34
  Speaker 1: the infection to spread to the rest of the colony.
• 22:37
  Speaker 1: In the end, for some reason, she did not get sick.
• 22:39
  Speaker 1: Claire did not get sick, but her parents and not
• 22:44
  Speaker 1: her parents, her mother ends up dying and the rest
• 22:47
  Speaker 1: of the colony dies, and weeks later, when the company
• 22:52
  Speaker 1: sends somebody to investigate, they find that she is the
• 22:56
  Speaker 1: only survivor and everyone else had died.
• 22:59
  Speaker 3: And she's hound about the images of her dead mother
• 23:04
  Speaker 3: floating around and zero gravity and stuff. That's the part
• 23:09
  Speaker 3: of her hallucination she sees while she's on the ship too.
• 23:11
  Speaker 1: But yeah, so when she entered As soon as Claire
• 23:16
  Speaker 1: enters the ship, she immediately sees the ghostly image of
• 23:20
  Speaker 1: her mother, and it looks like her mother is like
• 23:22
  Speaker 1: screaming at her, like freaking out. And the thing is
• 23:25
  Speaker 1: is that she Yeah. So, as it turns out, it
• 23:32
  Speaker 1: is revealed later on in the book that Claire is
• 23:34
  Speaker 1: actually able to see the image. She's actually able to
• 23:38
  Speaker 1: see ghosts. She's able to see the images of dead people.
• 23:42
  Speaker 1: And part of the reason why she chose to be
• 23:45
  Speaker 1: a deep space salvager and work on these skiffs and
• 23:48
  Speaker 1: things like that, and she always chooses to work on
• 23:51
  Speaker 1: the furthest fringes of society. So like we're talking deep space,
• 23:57
  Speaker 1: edge of known space. All of that is that because
• 24:00
  Speaker 1: when she is out there as far away from civilization
• 24:03
  Speaker 1: as possible, she rarely, if not ever, sees these goat
• 24:07
  Speaker 1: the images of dead people. Yeah, so she doesn't see
• 24:11
  Speaker 1: these ghosts, but the thing is here and there she
• 24:15
  Speaker 1: will see the image of her dead mother whenever there's danger.
• 24:21
  Speaker 1: So she's immediately off put by seeing this image of
• 24:26
  Speaker 1: our mother, and but still wanting to wanting to continue.
• 24:32
  Speaker 1: They decide to keep going. Now they know that they
• 24:36
  Speaker 1: can't take the entire ship with them, not without because
• 24:39
  Speaker 1: they're one for one they don't know if the ship
• 24:41
  Speaker 1: itself is still functional. And two they want to be
• 24:44
  Speaker 1: able to make sure that they can lay claim to
• 24:46
  Speaker 1: the ship without the company to without the company just
• 24:50
  Speaker 1: sweeping it out from under them. So before even docking
• 24:56
  Speaker 1: on the ship, they were trying to decide, like what
• 24:57
  Speaker 1: from what exactly can they take from the ship that
• 25:01
  Speaker 1: will determine that that without a doubt they had found
• 25:05
  Speaker 1: the Aurora, the lost space cruiser, the lost space luxury
• 25:10
  Speaker 1: cruise liner. And they remember that a certain artists had
• 25:16
  Speaker 1: been commissioned to make these a unique pair of golden statues.
• 25:21
  Speaker 1: These statues are like about mid size. They're not about
• 25:26
  Speaker 1: as big as like a person, but they's still like
• 25:28
  Speaker 1: a decent size. Uh. These are statues of a pair
• 25:31
  Speaker 1: of angels. And uh these angel statues were set up
• 25:38
  Speaker 1: within the main atrium of the ship. Now, if they
• 25:42
  Speaker 1: can get to the atrium, retrieve both pair both angels,
• 25:48
  Speaker 1: they can prove without a doubt that they'd they'd found
• 25:50
  Speaker 1: the Aurora, and they can publish that they lay claim
• 25:53
  Speaker 1: to the salvage rights. So that was their main goal.
• 25:59
  Speaker 1: Get in, possibly figure out what happens to the passengers
• 26:03
  Speaker 1: and crew, get the angels, maybe find the uh, find
• 26:09
  Speaker 1: the black box and get out. So so I believe
• 26:16
  Speaker 1: it was let me see here, it was Claire. Yeah,
• 26:28
  Speaker 1: so it was Claire, and I believe it was vulner
• 26:31
  Speaker 1: and it wasn't Lordis. It was probably k Yeah, it
• 26:35
  Speaker 1: was Vuler and Kane. Yeah, Lordis and Nissus both stayed
• 26:39
  Speaker 1: on the ship. Both stayed on the skiff. And excuse me,
• 26:47
  Speaker 1: they where they had entered? Where there? The where the
• 26:51
  Speaker 1: ship's docking day was was on the lower levels of
• 26:53
  Speaker 1: the ship. So this is where all the crew quarters were,
• 26:56
  Speaker 1: and since gravity, since artificial gravity was off, they basically
• 27:01
  Speaker 1: had to navigate through all the floating debris and wreckage.
• 27:04
  Speaker 1: Pretty much everything within the ship on the lower levels
• 27:07
  Speaker 1: of the ship looked fine. They did find some eerie
• 27:10
  Speaker 1: messages written here and there, and it was written in
• 27:15
  Speaker 1: what looked like blood. So that's not a good sign.
• 27:19
  Speaker 1: This this story, the whole vibe of it was giving
• 27:22
  Speaker 1: Hella event Horizon vibes.
• 27:25
  Speaker 2: And that happened.
• 27:26
  Speaker 3: We won the inspirations for this book too. Obviously that
• 27:30
  Speaker 3: alien and the actual movie called ghost Ship.
• 27:35
  Speaker 1: Yeah there is. There's a movie called ghost there is.
• 27:38
  Speaker 3: But asn't didn't do with space it's just a it's
• 27:41
  Speaker 3: the god, it's the one. It's the horror movie that's
• 27:45
  Speaker 3: stories basically like all like a bunch of these people
• 27:47
  Speaker 3: died on the ship and their ghosts haunt the ship.
• 27:49
  Speaker 3: But had the infinite scene where the wire or there's
• 27:52
  Speaker 3: like a bunch of people dancing and had like a
• 27:54
  Speaker 3: wire cutter go through cut everybody in half.
• 27:58
  Speaker 1: It was like that.
• 27:59
  Speaker 2: It was a good infinitous and.
• 28:02
  Speaker 1: Watch that now.
• 28:03
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it's the open thing is pretty good because.
• 28:06
  Speaker 3: They're standing and then a girl ducks down and then
• 28:09
  Speaker 3: someone gets a wire and just and all these people
• 28:12
  Speaker 3: are cut from the from the torso down in half
• 28:15
  Speaker 3: and they just start falling about pieces.
• 28:17
  Speaker 1: Jesus damn. I gotta watch one of.
• 28:21
  Speaker 3: The inspirations for this book too, which is which makes
• 28:25
  Speaker 3: total sense what you watch them?
• 28:28
  Speaker 1: Yeah. Yeah. So so they keep making their way through
• 28:36
  Speaker 1: the ship and they finally reach the main atrium, which
• 28:39
  Speaker 1: was it, which is in the dead center of the ship,
• 28:42
  Speaker 1: and at first they it looks empty mm hm. And
• 28:46
  Speaker 1: as they're moving towards the center, they have to they
• 28:49
  Speaker 1: have to navigate to the center of the atrium because
• 28:51
  Speaker 1: there's a spiral staircase that goes up to the very
• 28:54
  Speaker 1: top of the ship, which is where the platinum level is,
• 28:57
  Speaker 1: as well as where the bridge is. But as it
• 28:59
  Speaker 1: makes their way towards the main staircase to get up
• 29:03
  Speaker 1: to the platinum level, they can they from a from afar,
• 29:07
  Speaker 1: they can see that one of the two angels that
• 29:09
  Speaker 1: they were looking for, and just as they're about to
• 29:12
  Speaker 1: reach it, they start noticing that the light on the
• 29:14
  Speaker 1: grounds keeps shifting like almost like their shadows continuously moving
• 29:19
  Speaker 1: across the light source, and all the lights are all
• 29:22
  Speaker 1: the lights are dead, so the only light is coming
• 29:26
  Speaker 1: from uh so the only light is coming from whatever
• 29:28
  Speaker 1: is coming from outside of the ship, which is mainly
• 29:30
  Speaker 1: the stars and and things like that. And when they
• 29:36
  Speaker 1: notice the shifting of the light, they look up and
• 29:39
  Speaker 1: right above them, floating in the air are the frozen
• 29:43
  Speaker 1: corpses of all of the passengers.
• 29:46
  Speaker 2: Oh, this scene is so good. In the audiobook, I
• 29:50
  Speaker 2: was like, oh, oh, this is so good.
• 29:54
  Speaker 3: Yeah, it's atmospheric like they the right.
• 30:00
  Speaker 1: The book was just as good. It was. It was
• 30:02
  Speaker 1: very ominous. They had such a really good build up
• 30:04
  Speaker 1: to it because you're already like I'm already like, oh, crap,
• 30:06
  Speaker 1: are they gonna find what is it gonna be? Aliens
• 30:08
  Speaker 1: is just gonna be like people just went mad? What's
• 30:10
  Speaker 1: going on?
• 30:11
  Speaker 2: Ah?
• 30:13
  Speaker 1: So yeah, hundreds of corpses are floating in the air.
• 30:21
  Speaker 1: They're frozen because since life support is turned off, there's
• 30:25
  Speaker 1: no heat and space. You know, everything's gonna freeze. And
• 30:33
  Speaker 1: everybody when they get a closer look at these corpses,
• 30:36
  Speaker 1: every single person, every corpse was in some form of
• 30:41
  Speaker 1: state of violent death. They are they were like they
• 30:45
  Speaker 1: were in the process of brutally murdering somebody else. They most,
• 30:50
  Speaker 1: if not every person, every crew member, every passenger had
• 30:54
  Speaker 1: some form of makeshift weapon, and in some cases they
• 30:57
  Speaker 1: were clinging to each other and it was clear that
• 31:00
  Speaker 1: they were killing each other.
• 31:01
  Speaker 3: There was one bitch that had like a butcher knife
• 31:04
  Speaker 3: taped to her hand as she was trying to stab
• 31:07
  Speaker 3: somebody in mid air.
• 31:08
  Speaker 1: I was like, oh, so good that that chick, That
• 31:12
  Speaker 1: chick with the butcher knife. She was She was actually
• 31:16
  Speaker 1: like a celebrity, Like she had a fame, She had
• 31:18
  Speaker 1: a famous like reality show. She and her sister did
• 31:21
  Speaker 1: a like reality show. Very problematic. I'm not really surprised
• 31:25
  Speaker 1: that's how she went out.
• 31:27
  Speaker 3: Uh yeah, but it was a reality show for the ship.
• 31:30
  Speaker 3: Mm hmmm, and they only aired I think like two episodes.
• 31:33
  Speaker 3: I think that's what they said. They only aired like
• 31:34
  Speaker 3: two episodes and then the that everything went quiet for
• 31:37
  Speaker 3: the from the ship.
• 31:39
  Speaker 1: So yeah, so they crew, So Claire and her crew,
• 31:43
  Speaker 1: after seeing this, they quickly decide they need to get
• 31:45
  Speaker 1: to the bottom of this. They also quickly unscrew and
• 31:50
  Speaker 1: grabbed the two uh, grabbed the two angels because that's
• 31:54
  Speaker 1: what they came there for. And they immediately go up
• 31:57
  Speaker 1: to the go up to the Platinum level to make
• 31:59
  Speaker 1: it to the bridge. As they're making as they're making
• 32:03
  Speaker 1: it their way through the Platinum level, they do find
• 32:05
  Speaker 1: one of They do search the rooms and they find
• 32:08
  Speaker 1: the room that belonged to the Sisters, the reality Sisters,
• 32:12
  Speaker 1: and they actually find crew like recording equipment, like the
• 32:17
  Speaker 1: equipment that the crew had used to film their show.
• 32:21
  Speaker 1: And after reviewing it, they see that uh, it showed
• 32:27
  Speaker 1: that like gradually, over the period of like about three days,
• 32:31
  Speaker 1: the crew and the passengers of the Aurora were slowly
• 32:35
  Speaker 1: beginning had slowly started losing their minds. It showed that
• 32:38
  Speaker 1: they were experiencing visual and auditory hallucinations as well. As paranoia.
• 32:47
  Speaker 1: Claire and her crew unsurprisingly also began to begin to
• 32:52
  Speaker 1: experience these same effects uh up to the point where
• 32:57
  Speaker 1: they reached while there in the bridge, and they're trying
• 33:01
  Speaker 1: to like they actually when they reach the bridge, they
• 33:04
  Speaker 1: actually find that the first captain, the first mate, and
• 33:07
  Speaker 1: the captain had killed each other, and after reviewing some
• 33:12
  Speaker 1: of the ship's logs, they see they also see the
• 33:15
  Speaker 1: reports from They also see the logs from the captain
• 33:19
  Speaker 1: and first mate that confirmed that people were beginning to
• 33:23
  Speaker 1: experience like beginning to go violent, and at one point,
• 33:26
  Speaker 1: at the very last video you do see the later
• 33:29
  Speaker 1: half of the fight that resulted in both the first
• 33:33
  Speaker 1: mate and the captain killing each other. Claire, being used
• 33:39
  Speaker 1: to seeing like these hallucinations, has a better handle of it,
• 33:44
  Speaker 1: even though it's no easier for her, whereas Voler and Cain.
• 33:51
  Speaker 2: Not so much.
• 33:52
  Speaker 1: They're not having a they're not really having a good time,
• 33:55
  Speaker 1: and Voler himself begins experiencing more extreme paranoia and hallucinations
• 34:03
  Speaker 1: to the point where he ends up shooting himself. They
• 34:10
  Speaker 1: had tried to stop Claire and Kan had tried to
• 34:13
  Speaker 1: stop him, but he ends up kicking her away and
• 34:18
  Speaker 1: she ends up hitting her head, getting a fracture in
• 34:21
  Speaker 1: her skull, and the next thing Claire remembers is that
• 34:27
  Speaker 1: she after that whole incident, she does wake up and
• 34:31
  Speaker 1: she's now back on Earth and she's in and she's
• 34:34
  Speaker 1: in Varick's custody. They put her in this place called
• 34:37
  Speaker 1: the Tower, which is where dissidents or people who experience
• 34:42
  Speaker 1: extreme forms of mental illnesses that are brought upon by
• 34:46
  Speaker 1: like space exploration. Because space exploration, like it or not,
• 34:51
  Speaker 1: is going to begin. It's going to create a whole
• 34:53
  Speaker 1: new genre of mental illnesses.
• 34:57
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I can only imagine.
• 35:00
  Speaker 1: So she was there for three months, and she was
• 35:03
  Speaker 1: continuous with being questioned by the company trying to figure
• 35:06
  Speaker 1: out what had happened. She eventually does, like she's eventually
• 35:11
  Speaker 1: able to recall everything that had happened. They had drugged her,
• 35:15
  Speaker 1: They had kept her so thoroughly medicated that it wasn't
• 35:18
  Speaker 1: helping with her memory loss, but she she herself, of course,
• 35:23
  Speaker 1: was willingly taking the medicine because now that she's back
• 35:26
  Speaker 1: on Earth, she's constantly seeing the images of her dead crew,
• 35:30
  Speaker 1: especially I believe it was Cain, because Caine is she
• 35:39
  Speaker 1: and Kane actually have a Yeah, it was Kane. She
• 35:45
  Speaker 1: and Kane actually began to developing a relationship. The thing is,
• 35:48
  Speaker 1: though Claire is very mistrusting and very like, you know,
• 35:53
  Speaker 1: traumatized from her past that she's afraid to let anybody
• 35:56
  Speaker 1: get close to her because she's afraid that she's they're
• 35:59
  Speaker 1: just gonna end up dying. And unfortunately, the whole event,
• 36:02
  Speaker 1: the whole thing that happened on the Aurora, and then
• 36:06
  Speaker 1: of course what happened with her and she was a
• 36:09
  Speaker 1: child doesn't exactly help. There was a thing that happened
• 36:12
  Speaker 1: with her as a child, and then what happened on
• 36:14
  Speaker 1: the Aurora. She's now like, yeah, she's been validated, her
• 36:17
  Speaker 1: feelings have been vindicated, and so she's terrified of letting
• 36:23
  Speaker 1: herself get close. But the thing is is that Nissus
• 36:28
  Speaker 1: and the thing is is like before they had left
• 36:31
  Speaker 1: the Aurora that she ended up getting escaping the Aurora.
• 36:35
  Speaker 1: This is in Lord of This both come onto the ship.
• 36:42
  Speaker 1: She had Nissus uses tech magic to activate some of
• 36:46
  Speaker 1: the ship's functions, mainly just live support and artificial gravity.
• 36:53
  Speaker 1: Though before they activated artificial gravity, they had to go
• 36:56
  Speaker 1: through and collect all the bodies and set them close
• 37:00
  Speaker 1: to the floor because as soon as they turned on
• 37:01
  Speaker 1: the artificial gravity, it's gonna break the body. So they
• 37:06
  Speaker 1: didn't want to like create a mess with all the bodies,
• 37:10
  Speaker 1: so they managed to like get them closer to the
• 37:12
  Speaker 1: floor so when they had anti gravity the artificial gravity
• 37:15
  Speaker 1: turned on, they wouldn't be destroying all these corpses. But
• 37:19
  Speaker 1: still the rest Nsis and Lord of this all ended
• 37:23
  Speaker 1: up going mad, and they too also ended up dying
• 37:26
  Speaker 1: as a result of whatever phenomenon drove the people on
• 37:30
  Speaker 1: the ship on the Aurora mad. But still the company
• 37:37
  Speaker 1: tells Claire three months after she returned to Earth that
• 37:43
  Speaker 1: the Aurora was found again and it looks like it's
• 37:46
  Speaker 1: moving and it's on a course to Earth. And terrified,
• 37:50
  Speaker 1: Claire tell like she she tells them everything that she remembers,
• 37:56
  Speaker 1: but she cannot for for some reason, she cannot remember
• 37:59
  Speaker 1: anything beyond what happened of all her when they tried
• 38:03
  Speaker 1: to when she tried to stop him from uh trigger
• 38:08
  Speaker 1: warning from from killing himself. I'm sorry, I should have
• 38:11
  Speaker 1: put the trigger warning earlier. But she couldn't remember anything
• 38:16
  Speaker 1: beyond what happened to full what happened to Fuller. Next
• 38:19
  Speaker 1: thing she knew she was being pulled out of an
• 38:21
  Speaker 1: escape pod and she was taken back to Earth.
• 38:25
  Speaker 2: And now here she now she here.
• 38:27
  Speaker 1: She is forced to disclose everything that happened, and she
• 38:33
  Speaker 1: decides to con. She con She manages to convince the
• 38:36
  Speaker 1: company to allow her to UH, to allow her to
• 38:45
  Speaker 1: a company I'm sorry the word left me. She allowed
• 38:47
  Speaker 1: her to accompany the salvage mission that was gonna that's
• 38:52
  Speaker 1: being sent by Ferrac's security and crew to get to
• 38:58
  Speaker 1: the Aurora and make sure an and investigate.
• 39:01
  Speaker 4: Ah.
• 39:02
  Speaker 1: They do agree, but they they end up sending the
• 39:07
  Speaker 1: company a company man with her to keep an eye
• 39:10
  Speaker 1: on her because to this day, they believe that Claire
• 39:14
  Speaker 1: murdered her entire crew because everything she told them just
• 39:18
  Speaker 1: doesn't really add up, like what would drive all these
• 39:21
  Speaker 1: people to hallucinate and have these like and end up,
• 39:25
  Speaker 1: you know, killing each other. So they're pretty skeptical, skeptical
• 39:29
  Speaker 1: and there's not really much proof to back up her claims.
• 39:33
  Speaker 1: But she ends up accompanying UH. She ends up accompanying
• 39:37
  Speaker 1: the salvage crew back to the ship. She does warn
• 39:41
  Speaker 1: them that what to expect they maybe get as soon
• 39:47
  Speaker 1: as they answer the ship, they may begin experiencing some
• 39:53
  Speaker 1: form of mass hallucination, paranormal paranoia, aggression, and to just
• 39:59
  Speaker 1: really like just don't believe anything that's there. She leads
• 40:03
  Speaker 1: them on. They dock with the ship, and she leads
• 40:05
  Speaker 1: them into the atrium, though as they're making their way
• 40:09
  Speaker 1: through the ship, Jesus Christ, less you future do haven't
• 40:17
  Speaker 1: covert that part up. As they enter the ship, she
• 40:21
  Speaker 1: notices that half of the security team gets sent to
• 40:24
  Speaker 1: another part of the ship, and they won't tell her
• 40:28
  Speaker 1: where other than they're just going to check the engine room.
• 40:32
  Speaker 1: They make it to the atrium and they find that
• 40:34
  Speaker 1: because live support had been turned back on, and it
• 40:37
  Speaker 1: seemed like it seemed like someone had done a complete
• 40:40
  Speaker 1: system a system reboot of the whole of the whole ship.
• 40:46
  Speaker 1: Live support is on, gravity is on, and all the
• 40:49
  Speaker 1: corpses that were once frozen and perfectly preserved are now
• 40:53
  Speaker 1: thought out and completely in later stages of desiccation. So
• 40:58
  Speaker 1: it was a gruesome sight all these like dead bodies.
• 41:04
  Speaker 1: Claire and the company and the security team make their
• 41:08
  Speaker 1: way back up to the Platinum level and they actually
• 41:13
  Speaker 1: are surprised to find that not all of her crew
• 41:16
  Speaker 1: had died in one of in one of the platinum
• 41:26
  Speaker 1: levels rooms. They find that it had been converted into
• 41:30
  Speaker 1: some form of safe room, Like what do they call
• 41:34
  Speaker 1: those rooms at an asylum where it's completely padded It's
• 41:44
  Speaker 1: like just padded rooms, right, yeah, there's cells. Maybe it's well,
• 41:52
  Speaker 1: it's can They find that one of the rooms in
• 41:54
  Speaker 1: the platinum level was completely converted into a makeshift padded room.
• 41:58
  Speaker 1: So like matches this from like a bunch of the
• 42:00
  Speaker 1: other rooms have been pulled in and set up all around,
• 42:04
  Speaker 1: like the floor furniture had been moved around, the walls
• 42:07
  Speaker 1: had been lined with some of the mattresses and whatever
• 42:11
  Speaker 1: cushions that could be found. And inside this padded room
• 42:14
  Speaker 1: they find came. It turns out he survived the last
• 42:18
  Speaker 1: three months and he sequestered himself within this padded room
• 42:22
  Speaker 1: to uh, to protect himself and to protect himself, and
• 42:26
  Speaker 1: he claims that whatever is causing this hysteria, this uh,
• 42:35
  Speaker 1: whatever's causing this these hallucinations is and hysteria. It has
• 42:41
  Speaker 1: some they he believed that it had something to do
• 42:43
  Speaker 1: with vibrations through the ship, because it's revealed early on
• 42:49
  Speaker 1: in the book that the ship had a very special
• 42:51
  Speaker 1: kind of noise dampening like uh inert show dampening, So
• 42:57
  Speaker 1: like the hull itself, it uses a special kind of
• 43:00
  Speaker 1: alloy that absorbs and dampens like the hum of the
• 43:05
  Speaker 1: ship's engines, as well as like act as like a
• 43:07
  Speaker 1: form of inertia dampener and something. They at first believed
• 43:13
  Speaker 1: that whatever's causing this phenomenon is being caused by sound,
• 43:18
  Speaker 1: like some form of sound or like a hyper frequency
• 43:21
  Speaker 1: that is reverberating through the ship us through these dampeners,
• 43:27
  Speaker 1: and with these dampeners in mind, using like with this
• 43:35
  Speaker 1: theory about the dampers in mind, Cain had created that
• 43:37
  Speaker 1: padded room to see if it will dampen the effects
• 43:42
  Speaker 1: of the hallucinations, and to an extent it did. He
• 43:44
  Speaker 1: was able to stave off the paranoia and hysteria while
• 43:50
  Speaker 1: being sequestered in this room, though he continued though he
• 43:54
  Speaker 1: did experiences, he did experience hallucinations in the form of Claire.
• 43:59
  Speaker 1: So even the real Claire shows up, he still acts
• 44:02
  Speaker 1: like he's he's not entirely sure if he's speaking to
• 44:04
  Speaker 1: the real Claire, and then oftentimes they see him look
• 44:09
  Speaker 1: looking off and speaking to somebody else. The thing is,
• 44:14
  Speaker 1: as it turns out, is that this was not a
• 44:17
  Speaker 1: salvage mission. They learned that the company had came here
• 44:21
  Speaker 1: and actually just came here to destroy the ship. Goorcher
• 44:26
  Speaker 1: and Max, the leader of the security team, ends up
• 44:33
  Speaker 1: locking both Claire Kane and the executive from the company,
• 44:39
  Speaker 1: guy named Red. They locked him, he locks him all
• 44:42
  Speaker 1: inside the room, and it's not long after this Claire
• 44:49
  Speaker 1: learns the truth about what happened on the Aura. So
• 44:55
  Speaker 1: twenty years ago, Verres had paid one of the crew
• 44:58
  Speaker 1: members to sabotage the Aurora on its main and voyage
• 45:02
  Speaker 1: so that they, the company that owned it, would go bankrupt,
• 45:06
  Speaker 1: allowing Arricks to buy them out. The way they did
• 45:08
  Speaker 1: this was this crew member was given a special weapon
• 45:13
  Speaker 1: of mass destruction. It's a weapon that emits a hypersonic
• 45:18
  Speaker 1: frequency intended to merely cause headaches and mild distress. So
• 45:22
  Speaker 1: its original purpose wasn't to kill people, but just to
• 45:26
  Speaker 1: make them really uncomfortable. Right, So that way, by the
• 45:30
  Speaker 1: end of the cruise, it was just going to be like, yeah, no, no,
• 45:34
  Speaker 1: this isn't safe, right, wasn't original. They weren't originally intending
• 45:40
  Speaker 1: to uh, they weren't intending to kill people, but it
• 45:47
  Speaker 1: had gone completely wrong because, as I said, before the
• 45:50
  Speaker 1: dampeners built into the ship's hull. What is what caused
• 45:56
  Speaker 1: everything to go wrong? Because the dampeners ended up amplifying
• 46:04
  Speaker 1: the device's signal, so instead of causing mild headaches and distress,
• 46:09
  Speaker 1: they caused severe headaches hallucinations. And it is someone implied
• 46:15
  Speaker 1: the elimined ability to seek ghosts, so like for Claire,
• 46:19
  Speaker 1: it just amplified her ability to seek ghosts. So she
• 46:22
  Speaker 1: was seeing these horrific ghostly images appear on the ship
• 46:29
  Speaker 1: and just made her, like her own mental state deteriorate.
• 46:35
  Speaker 1: Max was sent to retrieve the device and then destroy
• 46:38
  Speaker 1: the ship because if they found out, if anyone found
• 46:40
  Speaker 1: out what happened, Verres would be in deep shit.
• 46:43
  Speaker 2: Yeah, because they sabotaged the ship on purpose.
• 46:46
  Speaker 1: Yeah, so reading Claire as be left aboard read to
• 46:52
  Speaker 1: make the destruction believable, as Verrex would be losing a
• 46:55
  Speaker 1: valued employee and Claire who would serve as a scapegoat.
• 46:59
  Speaker 2: Yeah that she just went mad because people think she's
• 47:02
  Speaker 2: already crazy, so.
• 47:04
  Speaker 1: They already think she Craig Cray, so who better to
• 47:07
  Speaker 1: pim this on? But the thing is, things don't always
• 47:10
  Speaker 1: work out like they plan. And if anything, if Varricks
• 47:14
  Speaker 1: should learn anything should better. They should have known better.
• 47:18
  Speaker 1: So because Claire manages to escape the room with Reed
• 47:21
  Speaker 1: and Kane, Claire decides that she realizes that there's not
• 47:28
  Speaker 1: going to be an easy way to escape because there's
• 47:30
  Speaker 1: a massive team of Varick's security on the ship now
• 47:35
  Speaker 1: with weapons, they'd be dead before they managed to get
• 47:38
  Speaker 1: to an escape pod or better yet, get back to
• 47:40
  Speaker 1: the skiff which was still on the ship.
• 47:43
  Speaker 2: Yeah, so.
• 47:46
  Speaker 1: Claire decides that they're going to use Virex's own weapon
• 47:50
  Speaker 1: against them. So to do that, she further amplifies the
• 47:58
  Speaker 1: device's ability by removing the sounds from by turning off
• 48:01
  Speaker 1: the sound dampeners, so the alloy in the hall, so
• 48:05
  Speaker 1: the dampeners they will see the dampeners did help to
• 48:09
  Speaker 1: prevent the weapon from fully like going into full effect,
• 48:13
  Speaker 1: and but the ship's special alloyed hall is what was
• 48:18
  Speaker 1: causing the sounds to be amplified and created the more
• 48:23
  Speaker 1: severe side effects. So she decides we're going to completely
• 48:28
  Speaker 1: just turn off the sound dampeners on the ship, allowing
• 48:31
  Speaker 1: the web allowing the weapons full signal to be broadcast
• 48:36
  Speaker 1: throughout the entire ship, and the ship's alloy of the
• 48:39
  Speaker 1: ship's hull with the sound amplifying alloy well just basically
• 48:46
  Speaker 1: dial everything from ten to one hundred. Yeah, So now
• 48:50
  Speaker 1: this hyper frequency is further amplified, and immediately after the ship,
• 48:58
  Speaker 1: the security team begins to go realistic. They start killing
• 49:01
  Speaker 1: each other. They start attacking each other, Claire herself. She
• 49:04
  Speaker 1: almost gets killed because the company exec that was with
• 49:08
  Speaker 1: her Reed. He fully snaps and attacks Claire. She both
• 49:13
  Speaker 1: she and Kane managed to evade him and they flee
• 49:18
  Speaker 1: back to their repair ship. Max quickly realized what she
• 49:23
  Speaker 1: did and seeks her and seeks out Claire, and the
• 49:26
  Speaker 1: two of them do have a bit of a standoff.
• 49:28
  Speaker 1: She manages. Claire manages to get the upper hand because
• 49:31
  Speaker 1: Reid was still following her and he appears in a
• 49:34
  Speaker 1: tax Max, but Max ends up shooting him and in
• 49:38
  Speaker 1: the distraction, Claire causes uh deliberately causes a whole breach
• 49:44
  Speaker 1: because when the security ship arrived, it was too big
• 49:48
  Speaker 1: to dock into the docking bay like it did like
• 49:51
  Speaker 1: the skiff was able to dock into it. So what
• 49:54
  Speaker 1: it did is it extended in an accordion like umbilical,
• 49:58
  Speaker 1: so it's like a tube shape or more of like
• 50:01
  Speaker 1: a rectangular box shaped thing that connected to the docking day,
• 50:08
  Speaker 1: allowing them to enter the ship, and created like a seal,
• 50:12
  Speaker 1: created a nice air tight seal. So what she does
• 50:14
  Speaker 1: is that she created I think she No, no, no,
• 50:18
  Speaker 1: I don't think future Devin cut that part out. She
• 50:21
  Speaker 1: causes the umbilical to disconnect just she causes it to
• 50:26
  Speaker 1: shift slightly. She did that by creating like a She
• 50:29
  Speaker 1: had managed to get a grenade from one of the
• 50:31
  Speaker 1: security teams and she threw it and when it exploded,
• 50:35
  Speaker 1: it caused the umbilical to shift, breaking the air the
• 50:38
  Speaker 1: airtight seal.
• 50:40
  Speaker 3: And rewind a few seconds and repeat that. What like
• 50:47
  Speaker 3: the last sentence you said, why do you didn't hear me?
• 50:53
  Speaker 1: No?
• 50:53
  Speaker 2: I did, but my computer was kind of so just
• 50:57
  Speaker 2: repeat that so I can get that on video.
• 51:02
  Speaker 1: So Claire, she causes a She delierately causes a whole
• 51:06
  Speaker 1: breach by causing the umbilical from the security ship to
• 51:09
  Speaker 1: detach fully or to just shift slightly, and this breaks
• 51:14
  Speaker 1: the airtight seal and she ends up killing Max due
• 51:19
  Speaker 1: to rapid decompression, she herself almost dies, but she is
• 51:27
  Speaker 1: saved by Caine and Uh. They managed to They managed
• 51:32
  Speaker 1: to survive by by getting back onto the skit to
• 51:35
  Speaker 1: the repair ship, to their repair ship, and they make
• 51:42
  Speaker 1: it out. And the cool thing is is that on
• 51:44
  Speaker 1: the repair ship they had actually uh they still had
• 51:50
  Speaker 1: the the angel statues from the Aurora. So even though
• 51:55
  Speaker 1: the Aurora got damaged due to the rapid decompression that
• 51:58
  Speaker 1: it was caused by Claire, they were able to make
• 52:01
  Speaker 1: it back to Earth, where they not only published everything
• 52:04
  Speaker 1: that happened that Verix had done, but they were able
• 52:08
  Speaker 1: to present the angels revealing that this is the truth
• 52:13
  Speaker 1: of what happened. Now Verrex in the end goes to shit.
• 52:20
  Speaker 1: So after their escape, it does. The book comes to
• 52:23
  Speaker 1: a close about two years after the events of what
• 52:26
  Speaker 1: happened Cana and Claire, they were rescued by salvage ship
• 52:32
  Speaker 1: and they were from there that's where they broadcast broadcasted
• 52:35
  Speaker 1: their story and their claims to the Aurora. They gained
• 52:39
  Speaker 1: full salvage pay from Verrex, as this was done as
• 52:43
  Speaker 1: part of a pr move to help improve their damage
• 52:46
  Speaker 1: image because since they published everything that happens, VERYX is
• 52:50
  Speaker 1: in deep shit and they are highly light and they
• 52:53
  Speaker 1: are at risk of being completely bankrupt because now the
• 52:57
  Speaker 1: families that originally sued the uh the company after the
• 53:05
  Speaker 1: Aurora's disappearance. They're coming out of the woodworks to sue,
• 53:10
  Speaker 1: to sue Virex now because Varrex knew about the Aurora.
• 53:14
  Speaker 1: But instead of helping them to get their family the
• 53:16
  Speaker 1: bodies of their famili's home, they opted to just destroy
• 53:20
  Speaker 1: the ship. Yeah, they hit it and they just destroyed
• 53:23
  Speaker 1: They destroyed the ship. So now Claire and Kane there. Claire,
• 53:32
  Speaker 1: she managed to uh, she managed to heal, though she
• 53:37
  Speaker 1: may not fully heal from her experiences, she managed to
• 53:41
  Speaker 1: finally open herself, open up to Cain, and the two
• 53:43
  Speaker 1: of them are now a couple and together they open
• 53:46
  Speaker 1: their own transport company. Yeah, they managed to open their own.
• 53:56
  Speaker 2: I know, it's three o'clock, almost three o'clock.
• 54:00
  Speaker 1: What we're almost done.
• 54:03
  Speaker 2: We're almost done.
• 54:04
  Speaker 1: We're literally actually we're literally donetairs.
• 54:09
  Speaker 2: And take I'm sorry slowly. I love you anyway anyway.
• 54:22
  Speaker 1: So, so Virex is at risk of going completely bankrupt,
• 54:28
  Speaker 1: and the book ends with Claire and Cain now coming
• 54:32
  Speaker 1: together as a couple. Like I said, Claire is not uh,
• 54:37
  Speaker 1: she will, she may never fully recover from her experiences,
• 54:41
  Speaker 1: and Kane himself is dealing with his own trauma, even
• 54:43
  Speaker 1: though he even though he bounced back pretty well after
• 54:48
  Speaker 1: his experiences, he's still dealing with fat. He no longer
• 54:53
  Speaker 1: has those auditory and visual hallucinations, mainly because it was
• 54:57
  Speaker 1: caused by a Vrex built weapon. Uh, but still trauma
• 55:02
  Speaker 1: is still there. The two of them succeed in purchasing
• 55:06
  Speaker 1: a new transport ship together and they decided to open
• 55:09
  Speaker 1: their own independent transport company.
• 55:11
  Speaker 2: Yep, so happy ending.
• 55:14
  Speaker 1: It's really it's it's really nice ending. The two of
• 55:16
  Speaker 1: them get together and now they're going to start things
• 55:19
  Speaker 1: on their own, free from the company.
• 55:22
  Speaker 3: There are the two lung survivors of the Aurora. Now yeah, this, yeah,
• 55:28
  Speaker 3: this book was. This book was pretty good overall. I
• 55:30
  Speaker 3: I enjoyed the ride. Sounds like is this ghosts? Is
• 55:33
  Speaker 3: this company bullshit?
• 55:36
  Speaker 1: Is this aliens? Like I was? I thought like maybe
• 55:39
  Speaker 1: like the Aurora. I thought it was gonna be something
• 55:41
  Speaker 1: like out of Event Horizon, where they like you know,
• 55:47
  Speaker 1: interdimensional demons ship or like ghosts or maybe like some
• 55:51
  Speaker 1: form of alien like they they picked up an alien
• 55:54
  Speaker 1: and that's what I But no, we were both wrong.
• 55:58
  Speaker 1: It was all it was just human stupidity.
• 56:04
  Speaker 2: Human greed, greed.
• 56:07
  Speaker 3: Because there they're all the machine, the device was planted there,
• 56:11
  Speaker 3: and then everyone just kind of went looney. Yeah, And
• 56:14
  Speaker 3: I think the excuse they gave was we didn't mean
• 56:17
  Speaker 3: for it to be turned up that high. We only
• 56:22
  Speaker 3: wanted it to cause discomfort, not everyone to go bash
• 56:24
  Speaker 3: it insane. And I'm like, girl, you've al fucked up.
• 56:29
  Speaker 1: Not to steal a line from from Hell of a Boss,
• 56:34
  Speaker 1: but sorry, we fucked your husband. Damn. I'm pretty you
• 56:40
  Speaker 1: probably have to cut that out.
• 56:43
  Speaker 2: My husband. Wow, that's that's funny.
• 56:47
  Speaker 1: That's pretty I mean, when you think about it, it
• 56:49
  Speaker 1: fits the energy, just like sorry, who kills everybody? Like sorry,
• 56:55
  Speaker 1: sorry we killed everybody. We were just trying to like
• 56:58
  Speaker 1: make the other company go bank up.
• 57:00
  Speaker 2: Make them look bad, people feel a little uncomfortable.
• 57:03
  Speaker 1: We succeeded. We succeeded, though, but but now everyone's.
• 57:07
  Speaker 3: Dead because we made I'm gonna go psychotic and tape
• 57:09
  Speaker 3: knives to their hands and stabbed their mother or their sister.
• 57:12
  Speaker 2: Youw, it's a little thing.
• 57:15
  Speaker 1: Little It was basically like if you seen the first
• 57:18
  Speaker 1: Kingsman movie. It was like it was like that when
• 57:20
  Speaker 1: that that device was set off and everybody just went
• 57:24
  Speaker 1: Wonko Bonkers.
• 57:25
  Speaker 2: Yeah, this book was pretty good. So I bought this
• 57:29
  Speaker 2: book for Jacob for was a birthday or Christmas last year?
• 57:35
  Speaker 1: It was honestly, my birthday and Christmas come by like
• 57:38
  Speaker 1: so like are within thirty days of each other, so like, No,
• 57:42
  Speaker 1: I think.
• 57:42
  Speaker 3: It was birthday because Christmas I bought. I think I
• 57:44
  Speaker 3: bought your Godzilla. It was somewhere is here Christmas or Birthday?
• 57:50
  Speaker 3: I went the two.
• 57:51
  Speaker 1: I lost track of which books you gave me for
• 57:52
  Speaker 1: my for birthday and Christmas because everyone had given me
• 57:55
  Speaker 1: money and like, uh, some several of you guys gave
• 57:58
  Speaker 1: me money for Barnes and Old So I went and
• 58:00
  Speaker 1: bought like four books. No, I bought two big books,
• 58:05
  Speaker 1: Paradise one and that Warhammer book. I still got to
• 58:09
  Speaker 1: read them, but I decided, like after I finished reading
• 58:12
  Speaker 1: this book, this is This is the new book that
• 58:14
  Speaker 1: I'm working on right now. This is called Black Company
• 58:17
  Speaker 1: by Glenn Cook. If you're familiar with it. If you're
• 58:20
  Speaker 1: familiar with Glenn Cook, you'll know how good his books are.
• 58:23
  Speaker 1: I've only read one other book by Glenn Cook. Forgot
• 58:27

  Speaker 1: the one about you're base. They're on like a kind
• 58:39
  Speaker 1: of like a space tug in this special ship. Its
• 58:44
  Speaker 1: primary job is like reconnaissance, reconnaissance. And it's like if
• 58:48
  Speaker 1: you if you read Glenn Cook's novels. His novels are
• 58:51
  Speaker 1: written like a war journal, like a wartime journal. Yea,
• 58:55
  Speaker 1: so it's written like as if somebody was writing about
• 58:58
  Speaker 1: their experiences in war or like just the like the
• 59:04
  Speaker 1: first hand account. So like it's almost it's like it's
• 59:08
  Speaker 1: it's like written like a oh no, it says right
• 59:12
  Speaker 1: here some like there's a review on the back. Reading
• 59:21
  Speaker 1: his stuff is like reading Vietnam war fiction on paoting.
• 59:27
  Speaker 1: I have no idea how to bounce that word.
• 59:30
  Speaker 2: Hm.

  Speaker 1: a compendium, so it has like the first three books
• 59:40
  Speaker 1: in the series, Black Company, Shadows Linger, and The White Rose.
• 59:45
  Speaker 1: So probably in the future whenever I get around finishing

• 59:52
  Speaker 1: reading two other books. One is called Well. I was

• 1:00:10
  Speaker 1: of the Inheritance cycle, but it is the fifth book
• 1:00:13
  Speaker 1: in the world of Aragon, so we're going back to
• 1:00:16
  Speaker 1: It takes you back to Aligasia, and now it is
• 1:00:20
  Speaker 1: centered around Murtagh, Aragon's half brother and fellow Dragon writer,
• 1:00:27
  Speaker 1: and he's also the son of one of the stories,
• 1:00:32
  Speaker 1: one of the Forsworn, who had served Galbatorux during the
• 1:00:36
  Speaker 1: fall of the Dragon Writers, so now it's just telling
• 1:00:40
  Speaker 1: his story. It takes place a year after the events
• 1:00:43
  Speaker 1: of Inheritance, and Murtag is trying to find his way.
• 1:00:50
  Speaker 2: But yeah, well there you go, that's what he's reading.

  Speaker 1: days of the Wheel of Time anymore, where we knew
• 1:01:14
  Speaker 1: what I was what we were reviewing next, We're all
• 1:01:17
  Speaker 1: we're both like, go to be honest, like we read
• 1:01:19
  Speaker 1: a lot. We both read a lot, and we've I've
• 1:01:22
  Speaker 1: already reviewed a lot of books that I've read, and
• 1:01:24
  Speaker 1: I mean, that's not it. I'm telling you right now,
• 1:01:26
  Speaker 1: that's not all of the books I've read. Those were
• 1:01:29
  Speaker 1: many of the books that had movie adapt adaptations. But

• 1:01:36
  Speaker 1: graphic novels, novels and novella's all that jazz like I have.

• 1:01:48
  Speaker 1: few we haven't. We might start reviewing. We might start
• 1:01:53
  Speaker 1: reviewing a few of them. I just got to look
• 1:01:56
  Speaker 1: back and see, like what we haven't reviewed and what
• 1:01:58
  Speaker 1: stories we could review. Oh you know, I just remember,
• 1:02:02
