• 3:58
  Speaker 2: Or's grandmother's spell book.
• 4:01
  Speaker 1: What is that?
• 4:02
  Speaker 2: It's a book? I found it your mears. I just
• 4:06
  Speaker 2: I don't Jason, Well, don't tell him. I don't know
• 4:10
  Speaker 2: if he'll he'll be mad talking about me grabbing his
• 4:13
  Speaker 2: grandma's clothes.
• 4:14
  Speaker 1: Yeah, and I think I've come around on that for
• 4:15
  Speaker 1: good reason. Well, we can put it back, or I
• 4:20
  Speaker 1: think you should, or at least talk to him about it.
• 4:23
  Speaker 1: You don't even want to know what's in me. I do,
• 4:25
  Speaker 1: of course, I wish. I don't want to just take
• 4:27
  Speaker 1: it away. I opened the book.
• 4:30
  Speaker 4: Yeah, go ahead and roll a knowledge check. Knowledge I
• 4:36
  Speaker 4: help out with this Tolorus check. I think I'll have
• 4:39
  Speaker 4: you roll separately knowledge or spirit.
• 4:43
  Speaker 1: My powers do not help me here. Five six.
• 4:47
  Speaker 2: This is an epic check. I rolled to fourteen.
• 4:50
  Speaker 4: You start flipping through this and the runic language is
• 4:55
  Speaker 4: the ancient languages mean nothing to you.
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: This is all unreadable. I don't why would you think
• 5:05
  Speaker 1: this would be dangerous?
• 5:08
  Speaker 2: I don't know. I just had a sense about it.
• 5:13
  Speaker 2: Something something in here, and Jason points to his chest.
• 5:17
  Speaker 2: It's pulling me towards it. I don't know.
• 5:21
  Speaker 1: Well, I'm glad you told me. Sure, Yeah, I trust you.
• 5:25
  Speaker 1: I mean.
• 5:28
  Speaker 2: It's not like we can do anything with it right now.
• 5:30
  Speaker 2: But you're not going to tell Jamir.
• 5:34
  Speaker 1: I think you should tell Jamir.
• 5:37
  Speaker 2: Okay.
• 5:38
  Speaker 1: Maybe I used to be like, you know, a lot
• 5:42
  Speaker 1: of people would come to me for advice. So you know,
• 5:46
  Speaker 1: I'm not saying they did because I was lying to them.
• 5:49
  Speaker 1: But in this I'm being this is good advice. I
• 5:52
  Speaker 1: think you should tell Jamir Okay. I mean, yeah, it
• 5:56
  Speaker 1: feels like the right.
• 5:57
  Speaker 2: Thing to do, I think so.
• 6:00
  Speaker 1: I mean, but again, I don't think I'm the the
• 6:03
  Speaker 1: best authority about what's right. We're figuring it out. Yeah,
• 6:11
  Speaker 1: what did what did Charlotte Holmes think about right and wrong? Well?
• 6:16
  Speaker 2: He did do a lot of drugs, okay, but he
• 6:19
  Speaker 2: also fought crime. But he also treated his best friend
• 6:22
  Speaker 2: kind of like garbage, okay, and he was kind of
• 6:25
  Speaker 2: an asshole.
• 6:26
  Speaker 1: Sounds like somebody else I know, you know, Arthur. Well,
• 6:32
  Speaker 1: I'm talking about you. I'm trying to make a joke. Oh, sorry,
• 6:37
  Speaker 1: your ribs.
• 6:38
  Speaker 2: Yeah, Oh, I don't do drugs.
• 6:43
  Speaker 1: You might be you know, you're full of something though.
• 6:46
  Speaker 2: Yeah, that's true. Tea do you want tea?
• 6:50
  Speaker 1: Sure? I love tea?
• 6:52
  Speaker 4: All right, the two of you find some solace from
• 6:57
  Speaker 4: the events of the night. It is scary to be
• 7:02
  Speaker 4: the target of the violence. You've been the target of
• 7:05
  Speaker 4: this evening, and there's comfort in one another as you
• 7:10
  Speaker 4: find some rest.
• 7:11
  Speaker 2: Can I ask you just a separate question here, Johnny,
• 7:15
  Speaker 2: Jason doesn't need to know anything about the book. Does
• 7:19
  Speaker 2: the paper Phantom know anything? Good question? Jason sneaks away
• 7:26
  Speaker 2: to a different room with a book as Quanta begins
• 7:33
  Speaker 2: to snore sleepy time tea just on the nightstand.
• 7:38
  Speaker 4: The paper covers you. You feel the phantom taking a wheel,
• 7:48
  Speaker 4: encouraging Jason to let him take a look.
• 7:51
  Speaker 5: Give me the book, Jason, we could use power.
• 8:00
  Speaker 1: I don't know.
• 8:00
  Speaker 2: Quantasaid we should give it banks to mirror and she's
• 8:03
  Speaker 2: pretty smart and feels like I don't know if she
• 8:06
  Speaker 2: had do drugs. Is that what I should? No?
• 8:08
  Speaker 5: No, Jason, Jason, there's a Powell in the book. I
• 8:15
  Speaker 5: can feel it.
• 8:17
  Speaker 2: Roll another spirit.
• 8:18
  Speaker 4: Check with your paper sense, and this is going down
• 8:26
  Speaker 4: from epic to difficult.
• 8:30
  Speaker 2: Five.
• 8:31
  Speaker 4: Okay, I rolled an eight. The paper Phantom flips through this,
• 8:35
  Speaker 4: turning the pages without touching them, trying to soak it in.
• 8:42
  Speaker 4: The paper Phantom doesn't find any kind of the magic
• 8:45
  Speaker 4: with which he is familiar. And that's all you get
• 8:49
  Speaker 4: from the paper, Phantom looking through the book. All right,
• 8:54
  Speaker 4: can we go to sleep now? Fine paper comes off
• 9:00
  Speaker 4: from you guys, find rest, Jamiir. Is there anything you
• 9:04
  Speaker 4: want to do this night before sleep in your house?
• 9:07
  Speaker 3: So I finished talking to Lance. Yes, go downstairs, see
• 9:13
  Speaker 3: if Marie is still on the first floor.
• 9:17
  Speaker 2: I think she helped you with Lance and then went
• 9:19
  Speaker 2: to her She went to bed.
• 9:21
  Speaker 4: Yeah, okay, unless you wanted her to hang out and
• 9:24
  Speaker 4: told her so.
• 9:25
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I was just I'll look around downstairs, see that
• 9:29
  Speaker 3: the lights are dim. Go to the kitchen and put
• 9:32
  Speaker 3: on a kettle. Grab a popcorn bag from the top
• 9:37
  Speaker 3: of the fridge, throw it in the microwave, kind of
• 9:42
  Speaker 3: with dead eyes. Just watch the popcorn popping in the bag.
• 9:50
  Speaker 3: Let the tea kettle whistle a little too long before
• 9:53
  Speaker 3: I walk over, Pour my tea, get my popcorn. Still
• 10:01
  Speaker 3: wearing my pretty crummy costume. I just sit on the couch,
• 10:10
  Speaker 3: eat the popcorn, sip my tea, and just begin to
• 10:15
  Speaker 3: picture the different people in my life wearing one of
• 10:21
  Speaker 3: those everwing costumes.
• 10:25
  Speaker 2: It's beautiful to think that from across the city we
• 10:27
  Speaker 2: might still be looking at the same tea. We're always
• 10:33
  Speaker 2: looking at the same tea.
• 10:34
  Speaker 4: You know, you think about people, you know Jackie, You
• 10:42
  Speaker 4: think about your siblings. Think for a minute about your
• 10:47
  Speaker 4: mom or your dad. Your mom being the direct descendant. Yeah,
• 10:53
  Speaker 4: they're the closest direct descendant of the Everwing. And then
• 10:57
  Speaker 4: a face shows up in that mask that you don't
• 11:02
  Speaker 4: really want to think about it there, but you know
• 11:04
  Speaker 4: it would have been a perfect fit. Think about your
• 11:08
  Speaker 4: buddy Taylor, everybody, and as you fall into a sleep
• 11:15
  Speaker 4: on the couch, you dream about the woman who took
• 11:18
  Speaker 4: his life taking another shot right in his head through
• 11:25
  Speaker 4: the Everwing helmet. Everybody, take a full rest, rest on
• 11:37
  Speaker 4: the recovery rest your you roll your strength, dive for
• 11:42
  Speaker 4: your hit points. Nope, nope, nope, nope. You roll your resilience,
• 11:45
  Speaker 4: dive for your hit points, and you roll your strength,
• 11:47
  Speaker 4: dive for your energy points and get those back however
• 11:50
  Speaker 4: you want to. And all your death points come back
• 11:53
  Speaker 4: if you lost any of those, and all of your
• 11:58
  Speaker 4: support bulls come back if you lost any of those.
• 12:01
  Speaker 1: I am still at an energy deficit.
• 12:04
  Speaker 2: Yeah, with I guess with quant to sleep in my
• 12:06
  Speaker 2: bed too. That's probably why I'm like sleeping.
• 12:09
  Speaker 1: On the floor, sleeping on a pile of books. Also snoring.
• 12:15
  Speaker 1: Isn't it beautiful to think we're all surrounded by the
• 12:18
  Speaker 1: same snores across the city.
• 12:20
  Speaker 4: Snoring is like one of my least favorite sounds of
• 12:22
  Speaker 4: all time.
• 12:23
  Speaker 1: I don't know why I hate it. You sure do?
• 12:27
  Speaker 1: You sure do?
• 12:28
  Speaker 2: Do it? I imagine like a cartoon dog, like a
• 12:33
  Speaker 2: piece of papers, like floating above Jason's mouth.
• 12:42
  Speaker 4: The next morning, Jason and Ronnie come and relieve Jamir
• 12:48

• 20:21
  Speaker 4: maybe take out that memory of me seeing it and
• 20:25
  Speaker 4: working with it, that I could view that and fix
• 20:28
  Speaker 4: it better that and it worked kind of maybe they
• 20:31
  Speaker 4: kept having me work or like I said, they were
• 20:33
  Speaker 4: going to kill your moms. It's good that I'm they
• 20:38
  Speaker 4: don't have me. Now, who slow down? You said the
• 20:42
  Speaker 4: church council is a mess? Who are they? Who are
• 20:44
  Speaker 4: you talking about?
• 20:45
  Speaker 1: Oh?
• 20:46
  Speaker 4: Right now, I'm not sure it was always the Church council,
• 20:49
  Speaker 4: but now there was that man with the dragon tattoos,
• 20:54
  Speaker 4: the one who wanted to wear. The man with the
• 20:59
  Speaker 4: dragon tattoo has mostly been talking to me. His name
• 21:03
  Speaker 4: is Hikar Hikaru. He's he's Yakuza, and Utah who you met,
• 21:14
  Speaker 4: He's Yakuza. Okay, But I know that Yakuza right now
• 21:20
  Speaker 4: is at big war with the Irish a lot of
• 21:25
  Speaker 4: bad stuff going on there, and so that's making the
• 21:27
  Speaker 4: Church council all messed up because Mitchell, who is on
• 21:30
  Speaker 4: the Church Council, and Camp are both from the Irish gang.
• 21:34
  Speaker 1: The flog.
• 21:36
  Speaker 4: So church council is a mess right now. They're not talking,
• 21:38
  Speaker 4: they're not meeting anymore. So someone else is trying to
• 21:41
  Speaker 4: fund and get this new Dirk up and running. And
• 21:45
  Speaker 4: it's not Dirk. Obviously they didn't name her yet. They
• 21:48
  Speaker 4: just kept calling her swift shot. I don't know where
• 21:50
  Speaker 4: they got that.
• 21:51
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I heard that, And so she's she's something different Dirk.
• 21:56
  Speaker 1: I can. I can sense his soul. I could communicate
• 22:00
  Speaker 1: with him. I could, I like connected with him as
• 22:04
  Speaker 1: like a fellow being that thinks and feels. But her
• 22:09
  Speaker 1: there was there was something missing that's not in everybody
• 22:12
  Speaker 1: else all the day and all the humans.
• 22:14
  Speaker 4: M Yeah, Dirk was a I just felt bad for him.
• 22:18
  Speaker 4: They had me patch him up after his missions. But anyway,
• 22:23
  Speaker 4: he's gone.
• 22:23
  Speaker 2: Now, M.
• 22:29
  Speaker 1: What he's here here here?
• 22:32
  Speaker 4: Oh, I don't know if he if I don't know
• 22:36
  Speaker 4: if he should see me.
• 22:38
  Speaker 1: I yeah, I think I would leave that decision up
• 22:40
  Speaker 1: to him if we wake him up again.
• 22:42
  Speaker 2: How about maybe up to me?
• 22:45
  Speaker 1: Why?
• 22:46
  Speaker 4: Well, because I was part of the whole people that
• 22:49
  Speaker 4: did bad stuff to him.
• 22:50
  Speaker 1: Yeah, and he's he's the victim here.
• 22:52
  Speaker 4: Well yeah, but he could kill me. I was trying
• 22:55
  Speaker 4: to protect you and your mom's. But all I'm saying
• 22:59
  Speaker 4: is I don't think your moms are in danger if
• 23:02
  Speaker 4: they don't have me, because they'll want to have leverage
• 23:06
  Speaker 4: over me if they find me. I think as long
• 23:10
  Speaker 4: as they don't have me, your moms are safe.
• 23:13
  Speaker 1: Wait wait are you? Like? Did you? Did you separate
• 23:21
  Speaker 1: from moms because because of the church? But like, not
• 23:25
  Speaker 1: in the way I thought.
• 23:27
  Speaker 4: He gets a little downcast and sad. Yeah.
• 23:35
  Speaker 2: I still.
• 23:37
  Speaker 4: Still love them, but I couldn't be around him anymore.
• 23:47
  Speaker 4: Too dangerous. Jason comes through the door. Hey, guys, I'm
• 23:56
  Speaker 4: really sorry. I I got bad news. We're out of coffee.
• 24:03

  Speaker 4: fruitcake is a it's a Jimmy Buffett song. So I thought, oh,
• 26:11
  Speaker 4: that's pancakes fruitcakes and I did not even think of that.
• 26:15
  Speaker 3: Maybe there's like strawberries in them or something.
• 26:17
  Speaker 2: I don't know.
• 26:18
  Speaker 4: Yeah, it's pancakes, burgers in them, burgers, padise.
• 26:22
  Speaker 1: Yeah, you know that's got to be Jimmy Buffett references.
• 26:26
  Speaker 4: It's got to be different items, different menu items. There's
• 26:30
  Speaker 4: a Margaritaville burger that's lime and tla.
• 26:36
  Speaker 1: That must exist already.
• 26:37
  Speaker 2: I'm sure it does. It's got to. We'll talk about
• 26:41
  Speaker 2: in the chat cake. But there is. Jimmy Buffett has
• 26:44
  Speaker 2: Margaritaville is a thing.
• 26:46
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm sure there's a It's five o'clock Sunday, you know,
• 26:50
  Speaker 3: come on like a Sunday.
• 26:53
  Speaker 1: You know, ice games as well.
• 26:57
  Speaker 4: You wait for Cherie who never shows Jamir and it's
• 27:02
  Speaker 4: getting to about noon and you're starting to give up hope,
• 27:08
  Speaker 4: but you know, you never put too many eggs in
• 27:10
  Speaker 4: that sharise basket. People start clearing out a little bit.
• 27:15
  Speaker 4: You're hanging out and something on the TV catches your
• 27:18
  Speaker 4: eye and Winston goes over and yells at the room
• 27:24
  Speaker 4: and just says, hey, hey, quiet down, I want to
• 27:27
  Speaker 4: hear this.
• 27:27
  Speaker 1: This is big.
• 27:36
  Speaker 4: New Babel News comes on, which is the main source
• 27:39
  Speaker 4: of TV news and New Babel. The head anchor starts talking,
• 27:44
  Speaker 4: this is Connor Seiner for New Babel News, and we
• 27:49
  Speaker 4: have a breaking update in politics this morning. In hopes
• 27:53
  Speaker 4: to encourage a vote for mayor. Two candidates have announced
• 27:58
  Speaker 4: their hopes to run in a mayoral election that has
• 28:03
  Speaker 4: yet to be voted for. While some are glad that
• 28:06
  Speaker 4: they may have other options, many find themselves annoyed that
• 28:10
  Speaker 4: these political upstarts seek to disturb the status quo. It
• 28:15
  Speaker 4: cuts to an image and it's a man kind of
• 28:19
  Speaker 4: a sultan peppery hair, a close Sultan pepper Beard, very
• 28:24
  Speaker 4: attractive and strong man in underneath, it says Henry hilland
• 28:30
  Speaker 4: announces candidacy from Mayor Jamir. That name rings a bell
• 28:36
  Speaker 4: to you immediately. You went to Hilland High School in
• 28:41
  Speaker 4: Colorado South. The anchor continues, Henry hilland a famous philanthropist
• 28:47
  Speaker 4: and the people's hero has used his wealth from hilland
• 28:51
  Speaker 4: Motors to pay for hospitals, schools, food banks, living spaces,
• 28:56
  Speaker 4: park maintenance and everything else around the city. He runs
• 29:00
  Speaker 4: on getting New Babel to be a part of the
• 29:03
  Speaker 4: world again, ladies and gentlemen. Doesn't that sound ridiculous? He
• 29:07
  Speaker 4: moved through every part of the city's system. Beat Cup
• 29:10
  Speaker 4: Detective da mayoral assistant, and then it cuts to a
• 29:15
  Speaker 4: clip of him speaking people of New Babel. There are
• 29:20
  Speaker 4: secrets that have been kept from you. Olive branches that
• 29:25
  Speaker 4: the world has offered that your mayor now sits upon greedily.
• 29:31
  Speaker 4: They have offered us the means to print American money.
• 29:35
  Speaker 4: I learned that when I was his assistant. Can you
• 29:39
  Speaker 4: imagine that that has never come to light, that we
• 29:43
  Speaker 4: sit here and suffer trapped, not able to explore the
• 29:47
  Speaker 4: world around us. America has also offered us large amounts
• 29:52
  Speaker 4: of money if the city were willing to come back
• 29:56
  Speaker 4: into or come back as an American prim rovens, as
• 30:01
  Speaker 4: long as we are willing to share the secrets in
• 30:04
  Speaker 4: science and progress that this city holds. The leaders of
• 30:08
  Speaker 4: this city are corrupt, and they want to keep you
• 30:11
  Speaker 4: ignorant in the dark. I want to shed light, give
• 30:14
  Speaker 4: you freedom, opportunity. The crowd he's speaking to erupts in applause.
• 30:19
  Speaker 4: It's time to become a part of America again.
• 30:24
  Speaker 3: I kind of look around Jimmy buffet and see how
• 30:28
  Speaker 3: are the people here kind of taking in this speech
• 30:32
  Speaker 3: and these ideas.
• 30:33
  Speaker 4: I think it's shocking people wide eyed, nodding, seeming to
• 30:40
  Speaker 4: take interest.
• 30:41
  Speaker 2: Certainly. The camera goes back to the anchor.
• 30:45
  Speaker 4: And with a wealth of fresh fruit and vegetables bursting
• 30:51
  Speaker 4: forth out of the downtown area. A shocking candidate for mayor.
• 30:56
  Speaker 4: Cordula Soma, the leader of the Core Gang, announces her.
• 31:01
  Speaker 1: Candidacy for mayor.
• 31:03
  Speaker 4: Whoa She runs on the city of New Babbel becoming
• 31:08
  Speaker 4: more like the Shoot.
• 31:10
  Speaker 1: Can you imagine? She claims to have got.
• 31:12
  Speaker 4: The biodome in the last space barge up and running
• 31:17
  Speaker 4: the oranges. She's claiming that she could spread that around
• 31:22
  Speaker 4: and make no man's land fruitful and that we could
• 31:27
  Speaker 4: become self sustaining as a city. Let's hear her thoughts
• 31:31
  Speaker 4: on becoming mayor. It cuts to Cordula Soma, the leader
• 31:37
  Speaker 4: of the Core Gang, who is around the same age.
• 31:40
  Speaker 4: It seems as Henry kind of that middle aged.
• 31:44
  Speaker 3: She is.
• 31:46
  Speaker 4: A strong looking black woman, very like Angela Bassett type
• 31:53
  Speaker 4: strength in her. She says, the wealth of this city
• 31:58
  Speaker 4: is vast. Think about it because of our isolation. It
• 32:02
  Speaker 4: could be if infinite could if we could only learn
• 32:06
  Speaker 4: one of the very first lessons taught to our young
• 32:09
  Speaker 4: children to share. If one has excess, it ought to
• 32:13
  Speaker 4: be given to the one without any We in the
• 32:16
  Speaker 4: Shoots have lived this way for a long time, and
• 32:19
  Speaker 4: we are finally able to do it abundantly and freely
• 32:22
  Speaker 4: thanks to our wonderful scientists who have revived the biodome
• 32:25
  Speaker 4: in the space barge. We can make enough to save
• 32:28
  Speaker 4: the city become self sustaining. I'm a mob boss, I know,
• 32:34
  Speaker 4: and I know that the Irish control imports.
• 32:37
  Speaker 1: We don't have to.
• 32:38
  Speaker 4: Depend on their whims anymore. We can make it here
• 32:42
  Speaker 4: if we work hard enough. It cuts back to the anchor.
• 32:47
  Speaker 4: This seems like a not so subtle attempt to disturb
• 32:50
  Speaker 4: the stability that the mayor and his current staff have
• 32:53
  Speaker 4: painstakingly put into place. At this the uh Winston goes
• 32:59
  Speaker 4: up and turns it back down as the Jimmy Jimmy
• 33:04
  Speaker 4: buffets kind of erupts into chatter about these revelations.
• 33:16
  Speaker 2: Yeah, Jamir takes it in and is again.
• 33:21
  Speaker 3: These last few days, I've felt a little bit on
• 33:24
  Speaker 3: an island, as if I'm the only one that sees
• 33:28
  Speaker 3: the bullshit and sees how bad things are, and so
• 33:34
  Speaker 3: seeing that other people are like, hey, this is good.
• 33:39
  Speaker 2: Uh, Jamiir gets a little excited.
• 33:42
  Speaker 4: Is there anything else Jimmy wants to do? Before you
• 33:45
  Speaker 4: head a home? Do you head to your your shoot house?
• 33:50
  Speaker 2: Yeah?
• 33:50
  Speaker 3: Yeah, Jimiir would want to go back by his parents'
• 33:54
  Speaker 3: house in the shoot.
• 33:55
  Speaker 4: I don't know what day of the week it is,
• 33:56
  Speaker 4: but yeah, you can definitely head home the Uh, let's
• 34:01
  Speaker 4: go back to the manor you've had for a second.
• 34:05
  Speaker 4: You've had this chat with your dad. What steps do
• 34:10
  Speaker 4: you wanna take in next for Lance?
• 34:14
  Speaker 1: I think after shooting Jason away, just saying I I'm
• 34:23
  Speaker 1: going to need some time to think about everything that
• 34:24
  Speaker 1: you've told me. That's now I'm hearing myself about to
• 34:30
  Speaker 1: say that it's a lot. But you're the one who's
• 34:34
  Speaker 1: been blackmailed for years. But also I was, you know,
• 34:38
  Speaker 1: almost murdered and accused of murders. So yeah, no, yeah,
• 34:41
  Speaker 1: we've both been fucked up for sure. It's just important
• 34:46
  Speaker 1: that your moms are safe and that you're alive and safe.
• 34:50
  Speaker 1: That's what matters, what's always mattered. I'm not going to
• 34:53
  Speaker 1: be safe, dad, I gotta I gotta get to the
• 35:06
  Speaker 1: bottom of this. I have to stop it, and that
• 35:10
  Speaker 1: means I'm not going to be safe. Well what why?
• 35:19
  Speaker 1: Who else is going to and to be honest, to
• 35:26
  Speaker 1: make up for a lot of stuff.
• 35:28
  Speaker 4: Well, when it's safe, I'll need to talk to your
• 35:32
  Speaker 4: moms about it, and well we'll let you know, let
• 35:38
  Speaker 4: me know what, well, if we want you to try that,
• 35:43
  Speaker 4: it's very dangerous.
• 35:44
  Speaker 1: I'm going to You're not going to tell me yes
• 35:46
  Speaker 1: or no about it. I've already decided.
• 35:48
  Speaker 4: We're still your parents. We have a say in how
• 35:51
  Speaker 4: you go about your life.
• 35:53
  Speaker 1: You can feel about it how you want to. But no,
• 35:55
  Speaker 1: you don't have a say. You should rest.
• 36:01
  Speaker 2: Okay, he lays back down.
• 36:07
  Speaker 1: Go find some real fucking coffee.
• 36:25
  Speaker 4: Jason, the is there anything you want to do here?
• 36:29
  Speaker 4: So I would say that certainly the book in your
• 36:32
  Speaker 4: hand is heavy, and you know someone who at least
• 36:37
  Speaker 4: has a level of understanding about magic.
• 36:41
  Speaker 2: Sure, yeah, I think with a little bit of downtime,
• 36:45
  Speaker 2: if you'll allow, I think, while making a big mess
• 36:48
  Speaker 2: in Jamier's kitchen trying to make coffee, I'd also I'd
• 36:53
  Speaker 2: like to just like put post it notes all over
• 36:57
  Speaker 2: the manor as like you know, little paper triple arms,
• 37:02
  Speaker 2: you know, kind of just sigling, just like take a
• 37:05
  Speaker 2: sticky note number one on the like each doorway and
• 37:08
  Speaker 2: kind of do that. But then, you know, as I'm
• 37:11
  Speaker 2: doing that, I think, yeah, the weight of the book
• 37:14
  Speaker 2: and thinking about Arthur and the library is open, I
• 37:17
  Speaker 2: should probably go should probably theoretically do my job and
• 37:22
  Speaker 2: see what he's doing. Jamiir and Jason start heading to
• 37:26
  Speaker 2: their homes and Quanta, are you hanging out here?
• 37:29
  Speaker 1: What are you doing? Where are you going? I clean
• 37:31
  Speaker 1: up the coffee and the thermos from my dad's room,
• 37:35
  Speaker 1: don't talk to him, and I think I'm gonna just
• 37:39
  Speaker 1: go walk in the tunnels.
• 37:42
  Speaker 4: Let's go take a walk. Tube time, tube time, got it,
• 37:46
  Speaker 4: take some tube time.
• 37:48
  Speaker 1: Some solo tube.
• 37:49
  Speaker 2: Time, contemplative tube time.
• 37:52
  Speaker 1: That's good.
• 37:54
  Speaker 2: Jami or You head towards the shoot.
• 38:05
  Speaker 4: And as you get closer, you haven't been home as
• 38:09
  Speaker 4: much lately to the shoot, and as you get closer,
• 38:13
  Speaker 4: you start to realize the wonder that's happening around the
• 38:19
  Speaker 4: shoot right now.
• 38:21
  Speaker 2: It is a buzz.
• 38:22
  Speaker 4: There are stands right next to the shoot and within
• 38:26
  Speaker 4: the shoote that are set up to give out piles
• 38:31
  Speaker 4: of seemingly never ending fresh fruits and vegetables. It's very strange,
• 38:38
  Speaker 4: and it has reached as you start to see and
• 38:41
  Speaker 4: maybe even ride your bike up and down a little bit,
• 38:45
  Speaker 4: that no one in the shoot is hungry or at
• 38:48
  Speaker 4: least want right now for fresh fruit and vegetables. The
• 38:52
  Speaker 4: people of the shoot have always introduced colorful elements to
• 38:55
  Speaker 4: the drab living scenario, but until now it's never been.
• 39:01
  Speaker 2: Natural. But now there are.
• 39:04
  Speaker 4: There's orange and red peppers and orange oranges, and lemons
• 39:10
  Speaker 4: and limes and all kinds of tropical fruit and citrus.
• 39:16
  Speaker 2: Is that a kum qua?
• 39:18
  Speaker 1: There's a kum quad?
• 39:20
  Speaker 2: Goddamn it is a.
• 39:23
  Speaker 4: You get close to your house, and underneath your neighbor's house,
• 39:27
  Speaker 4: if you remember, the shoot houses kind of stand on
• 39:30
  Speaker 4: small stilts so that they can build up, and the
• 39:35
  Speaker 4: entry way is underneath, and underneath your neighbor's house is
• 39:40
  Speaker 4: your neighbor an old black man who was blinded in
• 39:45
  Speaker 4: a factory accident. He used to work for Clank Industries,
• 39:49
  Speaker 4: which is in Ask and he was blinded by a
• 39:54
  Speaker 4: chemical fire, and the Choote took him in when he
• 39:58
  Speaker 4: really couldn't work at at his job anymore. And he
• 40:04
  Speaker 4: sits there rocking in his rocking chair, and as you
• 40:07
  Speaker 4: walk by, he calls out, jamiyir, Jami?
• 40:13
  Speaker 1: Or is that you? Yeah?
• 40:15
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it's me.
• 40:16
  Speaker 3: Are you getting in on this fruits and vegs?
• 40:19
  Speaker 2: Craze?
• 40:19
  Speaker 4: Man? It's nuts over here, pretty amazing. Huh, Hey, I

  Speaker 4: able to tell me a little bit about that. Jason.
• 53:38
  Speaker 4: Why do you why do you? Why must you play with?

  Speaker 2: to say. It smells great. Have a library tastic day.
• 54:13
  Speaker 2: I say it like a patriot. It's like at the
• 54:15
  Speaker 2: front desk doing this, Jesson. We can talk about this,
• 54:20
  Speaker 2: not here, not now. I need to tell you something else. Okay,
• 54:25
  Speaker 2: I'm really old. What I won't be around much longer?
• 54:31
  Speaker 1: You know that? Oh shut up?
• 54:33
  Speaker 4: Come on, other than you, I only have two precious
• 54:36
  Speaker 4: things in this world, and when I'm gone, someone will
• 54:40
  Speaker 4: need to look after them.
• 54:43
  Speaker 2: Okay, I mean, I'm sure your pur cheesy said will
• 54:47
  Speaker 2: be fine.
• 54:49
  Speaker 4: I hope so. And he looks at you very sternly.
• 54:52
  Speaker 1: But what's the other thing?
• 54:54
  Speaker 2: No, the first one is the library. Oh yeah, I'll
• 54:58
  Speaker 2: take care of the library.
• 55:00
  Speaker 1: I updated my will last week.
• 55:03
  Speaker 2: It's going to you. What the library will be yours
• 55:07
  Speaker 2: when I'm gone. I don't I can't accept that. I
• 55:15
  Speaker 2: don't know who else I would give it to.
• 55:19
  Speaker 1: Have a library. Tastic day. Thank you.
• 55:22
  Speaker 4: It's always been a private library, but funded publicly. There
• 55:26
  Speaker 4: are parts of it that I own and parts of
• 55:28
  Speaker 4: it that the city owns. The city stopped giving money,
• 55:32
  Speaker 4: as you know, about four years ago, but a patron
• 55:37
  Speaker 4: has recently contacted me and wants to fund the continued
• 55:41
  Speaker 4: work of the Library's name is Henry hilland I don't
• 55:45
  Speaker 4: know if it's part of his I heard he was
• 55:47
  Speaker 4: running for mayor. I don't know if he's trying to
• 55:49
  Speaker 4: gain the votes in this sector of town, but either way,
• 55:55
  Speaker 4: that sounds like good news. I mean the library will
• 55:58
  Speaker 4: be funded.
• 55:59
  Speaker 2: Wow, okay, I mean that's great. That means I don't
• 56:03
  Speaker 2: have to turn to alternative sources. Yes, exactly, thank god.
• 56:12
  Speaker 2: And the other and more important thing is page right.
• 56:21
  Speaker 2: She's so smart and so strong, she'd be okay. She
• 56:27
  Speaker 2: just doesn't have any family but us. Her grandparents are
• 56:31
  Speaker 2: dead and her parents are both dead beats. She only
• 56:35
  Speaker 2: has us. And no matter how strong you are, you
• 56:39
  Speaker 2: can't make it by on your own.
• 56:42
  Speaker 4: And sometimes when you're as strong as she is, it's
• 56:44
  Speaker 4: harder to see that.
• 56:47
  Speaker 2: Sure, she'll need you, Okay, I don't know if she
• 56:50
  Speaker 2: would accept my help, but I can keep an eye
• 56:54
  Speaker 2: on her for the shadows. I still think you should
• 56:59
  Speaker 2: ask her out. Yeah, it's again, you haven't tried.
• 57:03
  Speaker 1: I feel like I've.
• 57:05
  Speaker 2: Set signals in a subtle, bookish way, and sometimes it's
• 57:10
  Speaker 2: hard to read subtle books.
• 57:12
  Speaker 1: Jason. Okay, cut to Quanta in walking back into Jamier's kitchen,
• 57:18
  Speaker 1: and there's just a giant mess that is anything else.
• 57:22
  Speaker 1: Coffee is dripping the ceiling just size and starts cleaning
• 57:25
  Speaker 1: up faces.
• 57:27
  Speaker 2: Well, maybe I'm maybe I am tired of subtle books,
• 57:31
  Speaker 2: having to read between the lines. Maybe maybe you tell
• 57:34
  Speaker 2: me what's really going up? Because you're so old, you're
• 57:40
  Speaker 2: gonna die any second.
• 57:45
  Speaker 4: I'm not ready. I'm not ready to have that conversation yet.
• 57:50
  Speaker 4: I'm trying. I'm trying. It's not easy for me. Well
• 57:56
  Speaker 4: what'll it take. I want to be open with you,
• 58:00
  Speaker 4: I want to be transparent, but.
• 58:04
  Speaker 1: I don't know.
• 58:04
  Speaker 2: I feel like we haven't really talked in a while.
• 58:08
  Speaker 4: Give me, give me another day, Okay, Ronnie, is there
• 58:22
  Speaker 4: other than walking around in the tunnel time tube Town
• 58:28
  Speaker 4: and tube time and shoot fruit what a hoot? And
• 58:32
  Speaker 4: cleaning up Jason's mess? Do you check in with anybody?
• 58:36
  Speaker 4: On this day. You don't have to just or is
• 58:39
  Speaker 4: there anything else you do? There's the womb you discovered,
• 58:43
  Speaker 4: you can go look at that.
• 58:44
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 58:45
  Speaker 1: Ronnie's got a lot on her mind with what her
• 58:47
  Speaker 1: dad has told her about his life and past, and
• 58:51
  Speaker 1: then learning about the church council and hearing herself say
• 58:59
  Speaker 1: out like, I've decided to to do this. I've decided
• 59:05
  Speaker 1: to make some wrongs right. And I think she will
• 59:12
  Speaker 1: follow the tunnels best she can to her apartment with
• 59:15

  Speaker 1: Yeah, sorry, No, it's it's it's what we all decide.
• 1:00:25
  Speaker 2: It makes sense, it does. Yeah.
• 1:00:26
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I know what I have to do. I want
• 1:00:30
  Speaker 1: to keep doing this. Uh but what I'm I'm just
• 1:00:34
  Speaker 1: I think I'm just gonna have to keep deciding to
• 1:00:36
  Speaker 1: do it. I thought like, once I decided to do it,
• 1:00:38
  Speaker 1: it would just I would just keep keep winning or
• 1:00:42
  Speaker 1: keep figuring things out, and it would I don't know how.
• 1:00:47
  Speaker 1: Sounds so silly to me now, but I think I
• 1:00:51
  Speaker 1: just have to keep deciding every day. Wow, how are you?
• 1:00:57
  Speaker 1: How's work? How has any How is anyone? And are
• 1:01:00
  Speaker 1: you safe? No?
• 1:01:01
  Speaker 4: Life is good. I mean there's a lot going down
• 1:01:05
  Speaker 4: where I work. I don't know if you saw the news,
• 1:01:07
  Speaker 4: but they got the space barge biodome up and running.
• 1:01:11
  Speaker 1: No I didn't, I didn't see that.
• 1:01:12
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 1:01:14
  Speaker 4: So they are giving in a lot of fruit and
• 1:01:17
  Speaker 4: vegetables homegrown here in the station, which is amazing. And
• 1:01:24
  Speaker 4: I you know, I've been worried about you. I've been
• 1:01:26
  Speaker 4: hanging out with Gabe here and there. He's a sweet kid. Yeah,
• 1:01:29
  Speaker 4: that's fun. Your Mom's call a lot.
• 1:01:33
  Speaker 1: I know I'm kind of avoiding them, and I shouldn't
• 1:01:36
  Speaker 1: because I know they're so worried about me. I just
• 1:01:40
  Speaker 1: I know what they're gonna say, and that's exactly what
• 1:01:42
  Speaker 1: my dad just said. And I sound. I just keep
• 1:01:46
  Speaker 1: hearing myself today and I don't like it. I don't
• 1:01:48
  Speaker 1: like what I'm hearing. I don't like what I'm hearing
• 1:01:50
  Speaker 1: for myself.
• 1:01:51
  Speaker 4: What well can I tell you what I just heard?
• 1:01:56
  Speaker 1: Sure?
• 1:01:56
  Speaker 4: Shoot, you just said that every day you're willing to
• 1:02:02
  Speaker 4: choose to try to save this city. And that's amazing.
• 1:02:07
  Speaker 4: That's selfless. And you don't have to listen. Take the
• 1:02:11
  Speaker 4: weight off. You're not God anymore. You don't have to
• 1:02:14
  Speaker 4: be God to this place. You don't have to save everyone.
• 1:02:20
  Speaker 4: Just if you keep doing it like you said, every day,
• 1:02:24
  Speaker 4: choosing to save someone here or there when you can,
• 1:02:28
  Speaker 4: that's got to be enough. I'm I'm making chicken tonight,
• 1:02:34
  Speaker 4: Lemon chicken. You're gonna eat it, okay, and it's gonna
• 1:02:38
  Speaker 4: be great.
• 1:02:38
  Speaker 1: I do my best to shut off, being able to
• 1:02:42
  Speaker 1: sense everyone in the apartment complex for the night with Jillian.
• 1:03:15
  Speaker 4: As we get to kind of mid afternoon, Jamiir there's
• 1:03:23
  Speaker 4: a radio buzzing in your pod. You're standing there with Jackie.
• 1:03:32
  Speaker 4: Jackie goes to turn it up as you hear some
• 1:03:35
  Speaker 4: panicked sounds. Clank Industries is under attack. What we think
• 1:03:41
  Speaker 4: is a man is changing form. He's been seen with
• 1:03:46
  Speaker 4: bare arms, a giant lizard tail, buzzing wings, attacking the factory.
• 1:03:52
  Speaker 4: He's smashing down walls. The power is astounding.
• 1:03:57
  Speaker 3: Jackie looks at you. Cool, except if you work at
• 1:04:03
  Speaker 3: that factory. We got to go tell people to get
• 1:04:06
  Speaker 3: said help.
• 1:04:07
  Speaker 2: What are we gonna do? I don't know.
• 1:04:09
  Speaker 3: Find find some members of the core gag, have them
• 1:04:11
  Speaker 3: go down there. There's there's workers there that probably shooters
• 1:04:15
  Speaker 3: that need help help. Jamir jumps out of the CLP
• 1:04:23
  Speaker 3: hops on his bike and speeds off.
• 1:04:35
  Speaker 4: Jackie follows you down and just as you're speeding off,
• 1:04:39
  Speaker 4: Jimmiir wait and you tumble through the shoot.
• 1:04:43
  Speaker 3: Yeah, Jamir's Jamir's trying to try to duck into a
• 1:04:48
  Speaker 3: tunnel and get toward that action.
• 1:04:51
  Speaker 4: Ronnie, you and Jillian, as you're eating lemon chicken start
• 1:04:55
  Speaker 4: flipping through the TV. She's like, I've seen this so
• 1:04:59
  Speaker 4: many times, and she switches to a news channel. Briefly
• 1:05:03
  Speaker 4: and stops New Babbel News reporting a monstrous anomaly attack
• 1:05:09
  Speaker 4: on Clank Industries on the northeast side of town. If
• 1:05:13
  Speaker 4: you live in Nebraska, please stay inside. There is great
• 1:05:17
  Speaker 4: danger to civilians. The city has not seen a disastrous
• 1:05:22
  Speaker 4: event of this magnitude since the days of the Evos.
• 1:05:26
  Speaker 4: And you see some footage of a monster tentacles wings,
• 1:05:32
  Speaker 4: smashing into the building and screaming, George Lson, Holy shit, Jill.
• 1:05:42
  Speaker 1: I think I think I'm gonna have to reheat my chicken.
• 1:05:48
  Speaker 1: I pull on my botaclava and open a window. Run
• 1:05:52
  Speaker 1: a couple blocks before I lightning strike. So it's away
• 1:05:54
  Speaker 1: from Jillian's apartment.
• 1:06:06
  Speaker 4: Jason, you stand here with Arthur in this uncomfortable moment,
• 1:06:12
  Speaker 4: trying to find each other, when all of a sudden,
• 1:06:20
  Speaker 4: doors burst open and people come running in. One of
• 1:06:25
  Speaker 4: them comes up to the desk to you and Arthur.
• 1:06:28
  Speaker 4: We've been told to get off the streets. The Clank
• 1:06:31
  Speaker 4: Industry's factory is under attack. It's just a few blocks away.
• 1:06:35
  Speaker 4: Can we stay here? That there's a monster. I don't
• 1:06:38
  Speaker 4: know how else to describe it. I saw it a monster.
• 1:06:41
  Speaker 4: I think people have died. I think it's killed people.
• 1:06:45
  Speaker 1: Cool.
• 1:06:45
  Speaker 2: I mean, as the future owner of the library, take
• 1:06:50
  Speaker 2: refuge here, friend, have a library tastic day, Arthur, I'm
• 1:06:54
  Speaker 2: gonna go.
• 1:06:57
  Speaker 4: To the bathroom to you, knowing what that means, and
• 1:07:02
  Speaker 4: just says, be careful son, all.
• 1:07:05
  Speaker 6: The people just yeah, I put my hand genuinely managed it.
• 1:07:17
  Speaker 2: I will oh gosh, I run out the door, skate
• 1:07:23
  Speaker 2: skating towards a towards the action.
• 1:07:29
  Speaker 1: Power.
• 1:07:31
  Speaker 4: Power is a gift, Power is a choice. Power is
• 1:07:39
  Speaker 4: the great test. People say, if you really want to
• 1:07:44
  Speaker 4: know someone, look at their friends. I think, if you
• 1:07:49
  Speaker 4: really want to know someone, give them a little bit
• 1:07:52
  Speaker 4: of power. It strips away the illusions, the masks and
• 1:07:57
  Speaker 4: the fronts. It reveals, without all the pomp and circumstance
• 1:08:02
  Speaker 4: of society, if someone will allow themselves to be a
• 1:08:06
  Speaker 4: part of humanity by giving of themselves to those in need,
• 1:08:10
  Speaker 4: or if they will give up their humanity, take the
• 1:08:13
  Speaker 4: power and turn monster, separating themselves from those that could
• 1:08:19
  Speaker 4: benefit from what they've been given. Three weary warriors who
• 1:08:27
  Speaker 4: have been gifted significant power now rush to danger and death.
• 1:08:35
  Speaker 4: They will not turn monster. They will stand united with
• 1:08:41
  Speaker 4: their fellows and give of themselves what others cannot Paper
• 1:08:49
  Speaker 4: flutters beneath the movement of its master, Electricity flows and
• 1:08:56
  Speaker 4: hums around its ambassador, and Starfire sings for the one
• 1:09:02
  Speaker 4: who calls it. As you head to this battle of
• 1:09:07
