• 8:05
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I think I've been baby to other parts of

• 9:57
  Speaker 1: Hey, where did the price go off?
• 9:59
  Speaker 2: Yeah, he put in his mouth. He's an idiot.
• 10:01
  Speaker 4: Thirty dollars this time, thirty thirty dollars for the infamiliar.
• 10:05
  Speaker 2: Your booth sells funnel cake and I medicine. It's not medicine,
• 10:09
  Speaker 2: dear boy. Some people call it medicine.
• 10:11
  Speaker 1: Why don't you call it the apple of your eye?
• 10:13
  Speaker 2: That's what some people call it. What did I call it?
• 10:16
  Speaker 1: Apple that goes near?
• 10:18
  Speaker 2: That's a saying for the drug that people. Oh, it's drugs.
• 10:23
  Speaker 2: You just you just ate some drugs.
• 10:25
  Speaker 1: Brother, how's since Jason else you doing? From putting in
• 10:32
  Speaker 1: my mouth drugs?
• 10:34
  Speaker 4: Your mouth feels very itchy and weird. You just notice
• 10:38
  Speaker 4: those like feeling sensors going off.
• 10:40
  Speaker 1: Oh you look uncomfortable, no more than usual. Funnel cake.
• 10:45
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 10:45
  Speaker 1: Anyways, as I was saying I kind of guide the
• 10:48
  Speaker 1: guys away from the yelling apples, but you need.
• 10:50
  Speaker 2: To watch you. Guys need to watch it, watch.
• 10:53
  Speaker 1: It if you said candles. But how do we want
• 10:56
  Speaker 1: to play this? I mean, I could try to see
• 10:58
  Speaker 1: if there's anything in there. I could like connect our
• 11:01
  Speaker 1: ear pieces to if there's a microphone in there. I
• 11:04
  Speaker 1: doubt they would have one because they're probably being safe,
• 11:07
  Speaker 1: but we could try that phantom. You could sneak in.
• 11:10
  Speaker 1: I mean, I look around to see if anyone has
• 11:15
  Speaker 1: recognized us, or is listening, or like any sense of
• 11:19
  Speaker 1: like people's brains going off, like, oh I recognize.
• 11:22
  Speaker 2: Them, make a sense check.
• 11:25
  Speaker 1: Gotta remember my scans A D six now nice nine.
• 11:31
  Speaker 2: It doesn't seem like anybody's watching you, following you.
• 11:34
  Speaker 6: Well, I suppose we could always see what the security
• 11:37
  Speaker 6: situation is. And if all those fails, I think there's
• 11:41
  Speaker 6: lots of opportunities to create one of my favorite things,
• 11:44
  Speaker 6: a distraction.
• 11:46
  Speaker 1: That's true.
• 11:47
  Speaker 2: Yeah, and you also could be very sninky paper style,
• 11:53
  Speaker 2: paper style.
• 11:54
  Speaker 1: Maybe there's paper in there. You could just go listen
• 11:57
  Speaker 1: and we could hear everything through the ocean communicators.
• 12:01
  Speaker 6: Yeah, we can give it a try. I mean, I
• 12:03
  Speaker 6: can try and try right now, unless there's anything else
• 12:05
  Speaker 6: you guys want to do. I mean, I mean just
• 12:08
  Speaker 6: that some seems a shame not to get candles while
• 12:10
  Speaker 6: we're here.
• 12:10
  Speaker 1: It does.
• 12:12
  Speaker 2: Let's focus on the mission first. Maybe we'll have.
• 12:15
  Speaker 1: Time at the edge tear my eyes away from a
• 12:18
  Speaker 1: candle longer.
• 12:19
  Speaker 4: There's a guy in you know, like a really long
• 12:22
  Speaker 4: trench coat. His back is so hunched, his nose is
• 12:26
  Speaker 4: so long. He has like a like a basic it's
• 12:30
  Speaker 4: a giant gumbo pot, but he's stirring over it and wax.
• 12:35
  Speaker 4: It's like wax. And you see the little the little
• 12:40
  Speaker 4: candles on his table or like mushrooms. They're so cute
• 12:46
  Speaker 4: on my droom candle.
• 12:50
  Speaker 1: Not not now, temptress, Oh why not, you guys, you
• 12:55
  Speaker 1: gotta have to take me away. You're gonna have to
• 12:57
  Speaker 1: pull me away.
• 12:58
  Speaker 4: He opens his uhs his trench code, and you just
• 13:02
  Speaker 4: see he's got nothing in there, no shirt on, just
• 13:05
  Speaker 4: like a really skinny, scrownny guy, all hunched over.
• 13:10
  Speaker 1: Were there supposed to be camps?
• 13:12
  Speaker 2: I don't know, you want try and get you not
• 13:15
  Speaker 2: to go away?
• 13:16
  Speaker 1: Oh yeah, well that that certainly held my attention.
• 13:19
  Speaker 2: My streams lit quato. Yeah, is there anything else?
• 13:30
  Speaker 6: So we've we've noticed the fight pit and the stalls,
• 13:33
  Speaker 6: and we know that there's the crime meeting happening above us.
• 13:37
  Speaker 6: Anything else, anything else of note that we that would
• 13:41
  Speaker 6: potentially catch our eye draw our attention, seems interesting to
• 13:44
  Speaker 6: check you out.
• 13:45
  Speaker 2: I mean, this is a huge space and there's so
• 13:47
  Speaker 2: much going on.
• 13:48
  Speaker 4: It's so it's buzzing, it's vivid, it's colorful, it's crazy,
• 13:54
  Speaker 4: so much noise.
• 13:55
  Speaker 6: What are you looking for? I guess mostly like how
• 14:00
  Speaker 6: how to get to upstairs?
• 14:02
  Speaker 2: What is there?
• 14:03
  Speaker 7: Like?
• 14:03
  Speaker 2: Security?
• 14:04
  Speaker 6: Are there stairs up? There are people kind of elevator. Yeah,
• 14:07
  Speaker 6: is there a guy saying security?
• 14:10
  Speaker 4: What?
• 14:11
  Speaker 6: Other people are just flashing their bodies?
• 14:15
  Speaker 2: I don't know.
• 14:16
  Speaker 4: Yeah, there you do see there are exits out of here,
• 14:22
  Speaker 4: certainly to the next level, big stairwells that disappear into
• 14:26
  Speaker 4: the walls. Guarding each of them is one of the
• 14:30
  Speaker 4: core gang members with a with a gun. One of
• 14:35
  Speaker 4: them is one of them is screaming.
• 14:37
  Speaker 2: Security security over here. Oh, that guy's selling security.
• 14:43
  Speaker 4: I'll take security like a hot dog guy security hot security.
• 14:49
  Speaker 4: There's also like an insurance guy security.
• 14:54
  Speaker 6: Get your home and auto insurance bundles it. Hey, where
• 14:58
  Speaker 6: do you guys want to go? You want to try
• 14:59
  Speaker 6: and we can. We can creep around upstairs. We can try.
• 15:03
  Speaker 6: And I'm not trying as joy I'm not the best creeper.
• 15:06
  Speaker 6: But getting into that meeting, I think is paramount. I
• 15:10
  Speaker 6: might try to keep an eye on whatever shady business
• 15:14
  Speaker 6: is going on by that fight pit. All right, well
• 15:17
  Speaker 6: I can try and listen in let me, let me
• 15:19
  Speaker 6: see what I can do. I'm just gonna put my
• 15:22
  Speaker 6: hand just like covered in a paper glove up to
• 15:25
  Speaker 6: my ear to try and sync my ear into paper
• 15:27
  Speaker 6: in the room.
• 15:29
  Speaker 2: Wha, try to sense the paper in the room.
• 15:31
  Speaker 6: Yeah, well, see if I can sense the paper of
• 15:33
  Speaker 6: the room and like protrude, just my ear out of
• 15:36
  Speaker 6: any paper, like, just put my ear through the paper dimension. WHOA, great,
• 15:42
  Speaker 6: just so that you can hear it and my earpiece
• 15:44
  Speaker 6: is in my ear right. I think sending your ear
• 15:48
  Speaker 6: piece through paper and getting all those signals to track,
• 15:52
  Speaker 6: is that feels really hard?
• 15:54
  Speaker 4: Okay? Yeah, I think there con helps situation.
• 16:01
  Speaker 6: Yeah, send in your piece through the paper dimension with
• 16:04
  Speaker 6: all the electric stuff intact?
• 16:06
  Speaker 2: Ye sense to me?
• 16:07
  Speaker 1: Yes, you know, spread the atoms like.
• 16:08
  Speaker 6: It did before. Spread the atoms yeah, Uh taught the
• 16:13
  Speaker 6: fibers of the paper. Yeah, naturally, absolutely.
• 16:22
  Speaker 1: Cover us.
• 16:23
  Speaker 2: We're Polish, Yeah, cover us. We're pulling it over with
• 16:29
  Speaker 2: We just try to try to stand up a little taller.
• 16:31
  Speaker 4: I'll give you a sneak check here, sneak plus your
• 16:34
  Speaker 4: paper manipulation. Quanta, you can help, Uh, Quanta, I would say,
• 16:40
  Speaker 4: what you're helping to do is allow the signals from
• 16:43
  Speaker 4: Jason's ear piece to still get through, also probably amplifying
• 16:47
  Speaker 4: the sound a little bit in the room because they're
• 16:50
  Speaker 4: supposed to be direct right to y'all's mouths.
• 16:53
  Speaker 2: So there's a lot going on here.
• 16:55
  Speaker 4: This is a godly check for this to work, which
• 16:59
  Speaker 4: means do you twenty plus a D four. It'll also
• 17:02
  Speaker 4: cost both of you an energy okay, okay.
• 17:05
  Speaker 1: And I'm just adding I'm just adding control, litricity.
• 17:08
  Speaker 2: Just the power die. Yeah, I'm rolling a D twenty
• 17:11
  Speaker 2: plus a D four, And as is my way, I
• 17:17
  Speaker 2: rolled ass, I rolled on eleven.
• 17:20
  Speaker 6: I also rolled an eleven, so quantus help would mean.
• 17:23
  Speaker 1: I got a four.
• 17:33
  Speaker 4: Cordula and Sophia are the only ones there. Now as
• 17:37
  Speaker 4: you look up, you start to see someone else start
• 17:39
  Speaker 4: to enter the room through like the trapdoor in the
• 17:42
  Speaker 4: ceiling of the room. Cordula is sitting legs crossed and
• 17:46
  Speaker 4: has like a stack of paper in her hands. She
• 17:48
  Speaker 4: throws them on the table as the meeting is about
• 17:51
  Speaker 4: to get going.
• 17:52
  Speaker 6: Okay, yeah, so I'm like the lowest piece of paper
• 17:56
  Speaker 6: in the stack. Just a drawing of an ear with
• 17:59
  Speaker 6: a a transponder earpiece like appears and protrudes ever so
• 18:04
  Speaker 6: slightly through as I like press my hand to the
• 18:06
  Speaker 6: side of my head, my ear travels through the paper
• 18:09
  Speaker 6: and into the office with the earpiece, and all the
• 18:13
  Speaker 6: electrons are lined up.
• 18:14

  Speaker 1: Out if somebody just glanced him. I think I'm trying
• 18:28
  Speaker 1: to just hold in a fart.
• 18:30
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 18:30
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I think the two of you, Jason and Quanta
• 18:33
  Speaker 4: will need to maintain this while you're in the room,
• 18:37
  Speaker 4: so you're probably not getting it up to anything down
• 18:41
  Speaker 4: here happened?
• 18:42
  Speaker 2: Yeah, well, well they're kind of zoned out. Jimmir will
• 18:45
  Speaker 2: like act like I'm like launching into a long story. Perfect.
• 18:52
  Speaker 2: I will keep licking the drugs. Everyone, you got a
• 18:57
  Speaker 2: quick it man. You ever hear what happened to my
• 19:01
  Speaker 2: friend's uncle. He started eating eye apples and it did
• 19:06
  Speaker 2: not end well. His first symptom turmmy cramps. Oh, I've
• 19:13
  Speaker 2: got the tummy cramps.
• 19:15
  Speaker 4: Focus focused, Oh sorry, yeah, Jami drones on and on
• 19:21
  Speaker 4: as Jason's paper. Here, here's the events in this room,
• 19:28
  Speaker 4: and Quanta amplifies the sound to both of you.
• 19:38
  Speaker 2: Coming down the little ladder.
• 19:40
  Speaker 4: Here is an old, old Japanese man, so old, wrinkled skin,
• 19:50
  Speaker 4: gray hair. I think I know that Arthur is from
• 19:58
  Speaker 4: inside the book.
• 19:59
  Speaker 6: I all the old people, all old people know each other.
• 20:04
  Speaker 4: With him comes someone you recognize, Quanta. Yetto Endo you've
• 20:10
  Speaker 4: met before, who used to be on the church council.
• 20:13
  Speaker 4: Following those two is someone that Jimmy recognizes, Darius.
• 20:19
  Speaker 2: I can still see this from my advantage.
• 20:22
  Speaker 4: Yes you can't see it. It's far away. But I
• 20:24
  Speaker 4: think he's a he's a what's the word imposing stress? Yes,
• 20:29
  Speaker 4: he's an imposing enough figure that you remember him from
• 20:33
  Speaker 4: seeing him in Koso. You did not know that he
• 20:36
  Speaker 4: was the leader of the West Coast Gang in Koso.
• 20:40
  Speaker 4: The plot, everyone sits there's an empty chair. Shay has
• 20:47
  Speaker 4: not come to this meeting. Sophia starts talking, It has
• 21:06
  Speaker 4: been long time since we meet like this. It is
• 21:10
  Speaker 4: because there have been long peace or do we have
• 21:14
  Speaker 4: lingering hostilities spoiling underneath? And oh, excuse me, I should
• 21:20
  Speaker 4: say the old Japanese man.
• 21:22
  Speaker 2: Who is that guy?
• 21:25
  Speaker 4: Different guy, wrong guy? His name is Hasegawa.
• 21:29
  Speaker 6: Oh, yeah, I know that guy.
• 21:31
  Speaker 4: He is the Oyu Boon of the Japanese mob. He
• 21:35
  Speaker 4: says something in Japanese. He doesn't speak in English, so
• 21:40
  Speaker 4: he will always be translated through Yutoh, which is the
• 21:42
  Speaker 4: only reason there's allowed to be a second here. Everyone
• 21:46
  Speaker 4: waits patiently for Hasegawa to finish, and yetto says peace
• 21:52
  Speaker 4: was broken when my son's head was taken. Perhaps in
• 21:56
  Speaker 4: the southeast. Your heads have slept peacefully on your but
• 22:01
  Speaker 4: our eyes are sleepless and dry, our tears are gone,
• 22:05
  Speaker 4: and our hearts are heavy. Darius says, sorry for your
• 22:08
  Speaker 4: lost brother, but we all lost people.
• 22:11
  Speaker 2: The flog attacked us.
• 22:12
  Speaker 6: All.
• 22:12
  Speaker 4: Well, that's what this meeting is about, right. We here
• 22:16
  Speaker 4: to discuss punishment of flog and gaining order back in
• 22:19
  Speaker 4: citys Cordula.
• 22:22
  Speaker 2: Commanding the room.
• 22:24
  Speaker 4: Brushes her hand past one of her papers, right over
• 22:27
  Speaker 4: your ear, Jason, you feel it. Actually, that's not what
• 22:30
  Speaker 4: I've called this meeting, but it can be discussed.
• 22:35
  Speaker 2: They moved on all of us.
• 22:38
  Speaker 4: Young Shay is out of control and needs to be
• 22:40
  Speaker 4: taught how things work. But I called us here to
• 22:43
  Speaker 4: let you know that I can no longer partake in
• 22:45
  Speaker 4: criminal activity. I can no longer be associated with you.
• 22:50
  Speaker 4: Darius says, I thought your bit for Mayo was to
• 22:53
  Speaker 4: make life a little easier for us.
• 22:55
  Speaker 2: Well, it is, But how you make work if you
• 22:58
  Speaker 2: no longer work with us? Huh?
• 23:00
  Speaker 4: Thought maybe you could keep Alice out of our work
• 23:03
  Speaker 4: a little bit here or there. Cordula says, I hope
• 23:07
  Speaker 4: to remove the need for police. She's turning authoritarian. Can't
• 23:11
  Speaker 4: be seen with us because we ain't in a high society.
• 23:14
  Speaker 4: She'll need those votes in Kono. I get a core.
• 23:17
  Speaker 4: You got to do you protect your people? Well, who's
• 23:20
  Speaker 4: going to run the shoot?
• 23:21
  Speaker 2: Though?
• 23:22
  Speaker 4: Please listen, let me explain. I have a lot to
• 23:25
  Speaker 4: change about this city. But my goal with crime is
• 23:28
  Speaker 4: to clean up and legalize the things that the city
• 23:31
  Speaker 4: still deems illegal. Prostitution, certain drug distribution, alcoholic, a few gambling.
• 23:37
  Speaker 4: It's all ridiculous. So many lives have been lost due
• 23:39
  Speaker 4: to these foolish illegalities, or people are in prison. Your people,
• 23:43
  Speaker 4: my people, Darius says, I know that's right. What if
• 23:46
  Speaker 4: your role in this city wasn't a criminal one but
• 23:50
  Speaker 4: an economic philanthropic one.
• 23:52
  Speaker 2: We could do it right.
• 23:54
  Speaker 4: Keep it all away from our children, stop the abuse,
• 23:57
  Speaker 4: keep tabs on addiction. What's so has done illegally with
• 24:01
  Speaker 4: prostitution in this city? I could make all of that
• 24:04
  Speaker 4: and other things like that above board and not to mention,
• 24:08
  Speaker 4: funded properly.
• 24:10
  Speaker 2: Darius says, your dreaming, sister, you're dreaming. I'm not so
• 24:14
  Speaker 2: sure you let me take control of prostitution in Sydney
• 24:18
  Speaker 2: with more funding and support of Mayor's office. Maybe at work, okay,
• 24:23
  Speaker 2: But what if you don't win? Is that why you're here?
• 24:27
  Speaker 2: We rigging this thing? Cordula says, no, no, no, I
• 24:30
  Speaker 2: won't win that way.
• 24:31
  Speaker 4: I won't. I am asking for your support. Though you
• 24:34
  Speaker 4: have a lot of pull with the voters in each
• 24:37
  Speaker 4: of your districts. Tell them you support me. Not publicly,
• 24:40
  Speaker 4: of course, I don't need more ties to the criminal underworld,
• 24:43
  Speaker 4: but spread the word. Get your people out to vote
• 24:46
  Speaker 4: for an election and then vote for me.
• 24:50
  Speaker 2: There's a moment of silence. Cordula glances over to Hasegawa.
• 24:56
  Speaker 2: You've been quiet, father, Do you have thoughts? And speaks
• 25:01
  Speaker 2: after Hasagawa is finished? You speak as though you are
• 25:05
  Speaker 2: father of this family. It is I who have kept
• 25:07
  Speaker 2: the mayor's office blind or content with your criminal activities.
• 25:12
  Speaker 2: I keep him appeased and happy, slothful and fat. This
• 25:17
  Speaker 2: understanding has taken decades to build. It would take a
• 25:21
  Speaker 2: lot of convincing for me to kill that deal. You
• 25:24
  Speaker 2: also haven't mentioned the taking of life. At times.
• 25:28
  Speaker 4: Our traditions call for a life that will not go away.
• 25:32
  Speaker 4: And what if the Irish they must be punished. Cordula says,
• 25:35
  Speaker 4: the taking of life will remain illegal, of course, but
• 25:40
  Speaker 4: in the time of transition there may be certain things
• 25:43
  Speaker 4: I could turn a blind eye to, but temporarily.
• 25:47
  Speaker 2: And yeah, the Irish need to be choked out. Sophia says, right,
• 25:52
  Speaker 2: so no deal with them. Don't buy, don't sell, don't supply.
• 25:56
  Speaker 2: We can even block the dry docks. In fact, we
• 25:59
  Speaker 2: could work to have deliveries sent to sas instead to me.
• 26:04
  Speaker 4: Oh, that really would make them mad. They continue like
• 26:07
  Speaker 4: this for a while, talking about the city, talking about crime,
• 26:13
  Speaker 4: crime and what Cordula's bid for mayor might do, and
• 26:19
  Speaker 4: then Jason through the paper that is your ear. You
• 26:24
  Speaker 4: feel an energy in the room and coming out of invisibility.
• 26:32
  Speaker 4: Whoa is Mayor Adrian Stephenson and a large day woman.
• 26:42
  Speaker 2: Swift shot. Guys, what's going on?
• 26:56
  Speaker 1: I think we got to get in there in costumer Yeah, no, no, no,
• 27:03
  Speaker 1: I think it's some of suit up boys.
• 27:05
  Speaker 4: Swift shot looks different. She has a quiver on her back.
• 27:11
  Speaker 4: From the quiver are ribbons that cover the intimate parts
• 27:16
  Speaker 4: of the rest of her naked body.
• 27:18
  Speaker 2: Healthful for our imagination. She wears thigh high boots. Nice
• 27:27
  Speaker 2: and that's just about it.
• 27:29
  Speaker 1: She looks awesome.
• 27:30
  Speaker 2: Yeah, somebody said haircut.
• 27:32
  Speaker 4: Somebody said they wanted sexy villains.
• 27:34
  Speaker 6: It was sorry something A batter seems different, but I
• 27:37
  Speaker 6: can't quite put my finger. She's so damned sexual glasses normally,
• 27:43
  Speaker 6: what is it?
• 27:45
  Speaker 4: Cordula is the most affronted. The Mayor's not supposed to
• 27:50
  Speaker 4: be in the shoot. She starts, ha, how are you here?
• 27:54
  Speaker 4: You're not supposed to be here.
• 27:56
  Speaker 1: I've I've electrically suited myself, unrolled it from under my pants,
• 28:03
  Speaker 1: and I start, I think, moving through the crowd, getting closer.
• 28:09
  Speaker 2: He's looking for a bathroom.
• 28:12
  Speaker 6: Yeah, I'll just keep my ear to the paper.
• 28:14
  Speaker 4: With your ear to the paper, you hear the mayor speak.
• 28:18
  Speaker 4: The mayor looks sharply dressed. He is large, short though
• 28:27
  Speaker 4: stocky but round. He wears a bolo tie, so I
• 28:31
  Speaker 4: feel like he's that kind of guy.
• 28:33
  Speaker 6: Mm hm, cool thigh high boots and nothing else.
• 28:42
  Speaker 2: Cordula says, you're not supposed to be here. Troubled.
• 28:46
  Speaker 4: He lifts his thumb and he does that thing where
• 28:49
  Speaker 4: he brushes it against the chin of the weird thing
• 28:54
  Speaker 4: guys do, where he brushes it against the chin.
• 28:57
  Speaker 2: Of swift Shot.
• 29:01
  Speaker 4: Has push the crowd as he walks around the table
• 29:05
  Speaker 4: and eyes down everyone. Though he is shorter than most,
• 29:10
  Speaker 4: his presence is palpable. Let it serve as a reminder
• 29:16
  Speaker 4: of who's in charge here as he brushes his thumb
• 29:21
  Speaker 4: against swift SHOT's chin. This cute pony show running for mayor.
• 29:32
  Speaker 4: You know as well as I do, it won't go through. Well,
• 29:36
  Speaker 4: let's say that it does. Let's say that I lose
• 29:40
  Speaker 4: my seat. You think anything's gonna change. You think your
• 29:48
  Speaker 4: mayor is gonna sit in his throne and let the
• 29:52
  Speaker 4: filth lap up pass the moat into his throne room.
• 29:58
  Speaker 4: You're a pathetic bunch of criminals. No matter what happens
• 30:03
  Speaker 4: in the next two weeks, you still pay up to me.
• 30:09
  Speaker 4: Maybe I won't be Mayor of the people anymore, but
• 30:14
  Speaker 4: I'm still your mayor. Stephenson, you got it, Cordula speaks up.
• 30:22
  Speaker 4: Why keep the people in the dark, Why keep them
• 30:25
  Speaker 4: clawing and oppressed?
• 30:29
  Speaker 6: You can't have.
• 30:29
  Speaker 2: It both ways, Cordula.
• 30:33
  Speaker 4: If others have a piece of everything, then you can't
• 30:37
  Speaker 4: have everything. Get that through your little head and bow
• 30:42
  Speaker 4: out of this race. If you don't, there will be consequences.
• 30:47
  Speaker 4: And I'm here, ain't I shoots not off limits to
• 30:52
  Speaker 4: me no more. Just goes to show if there's a
• 30:56
  Speaker 4: piece I don't have, I'll find a way to get it.
• 31:00
  Speaker 4: Darius stands up, hand goes to his waist. Swift Shot
• 31:06
  Speaker 4: pulls an arrow out of nowhere, pulls it back, aim
• 31:09
  Speaker 4: directly at Darius.
• 31:11
  Speaker 2: Mayer says, does this need to get uglier? Or you
• 31:14
  Speaker 2: let me go? How changed is Jamir at this point.
• 31:19
  Speaker 8: In the bathroom, here we just hear through the airbas
• 31:23
  Speaker 8: like clothing rustling.
• 31:26
  Speaker 2: Yeah, you're changed. What moves you.
• 31:28
  Speaker 1: Guys make in Yeah, I've made my way now to
• 31:31
  Speaker 1: the edge of the fighting Their box is like directly
• 31:33
  Speaker 1: over the center of the fighting pits. Yes, I've made
• 31:36
  Speaker 1: my way to the edge of the fighting pit, and
• 31:39
  Speaker 1: I'm preparing to lightning with the bottom of the glass
• 31:44
  Speaker 1: to shatter it, to just just make them all fall.
• 31:49
  Speaker 4: Oh uh, what's your range on your lightning whip?
• 31:52
  Speaker 1: Seven?
• 31:53
  Speaker 4: Seven l's Oh yeah, geez, insanely long.

  Speaker 1: It's a long wind.
• 32:00
  Speaker 6: Is that a long lightning whip? Are you just happy
• 32:02
  Speaker 6: to see me?
• 32:03
  Speaker 2: What can't it be? Both?
• 32:06
  Speaker 4: As you get close to the edge of the fighting pit,
• 32:12
  Speaker 4: you hear screaming from the pit. We few, we happy few,
• 32:17
  Speaker 4: we band of brothers. No wait, it's just me. Tumble

  Speaker 4: is dead and he swings his hammer. These guys, what
• 32:26
  Speaker 4: are you two doing?
• 32:28
  Speaker 6: I think Jason is gonna in the in the midst
• 32:32
  Speaker 6: of the crowd, try and sneakily if possible, like in
• 32:37
  Speaker 6: you know, between a stall and the wall or something.
• 32:40
  Speaker 6: Fully just force his head and body. Threw his hand
• 32:44
  Speaker 6: into the paper all the way up. Whoa ready to
• 32:48
  Speaker 6: pop out, great sneak.
• 32:51
  Speaker 1: You can just do it like a snake eating its
• 32:53
  Speaker 1: own tail. Your head going through your hand.
• 32:55
  Speaker 6: Yeah, my head going through my hand, and then just
• 32:57
  Speaker 6: like like a coupon.
• 32:58
  Speaker 2: Like falls to the ground. I think I will have
• 33:02
  Speaker 2: you roll a check for this, yes.
• 33:05
  Speaker 1: That before for one apple.
• 33:08
  Speaker 6: Yeah, I wanted all the money I'm printing looks like

• 33:17
  Speaker 2: I totally forgot.
• 33:18
  Speaker 6: There's a few people there, irregardless, it's a picture of me. Yeah,

• 33:30
  Speaker 2: you doing? So? Jamir emerges from the stall changed. I'm
• 33:38
  Speaker 2: moving quickly. I'm I'm hearing from my friends, probably through
• 33:43
  Speaker 2: the radio, and then I see up above that like
• 33:46
  Speaker 2: Cordula is in trouble, and my brain is immediately just
• 33:49
  Speaker 2: like the mayor is just gonna kill her, so so
• 33:52
  Speaker 2: he can't be beaten. So Jamir is moving very quickly
• 33:58
  Speaker 2: up there toward that a tourd there. I don't think
• 34:03
  Speaker 2: I'm flying yet, but I'm pushing through the crowd quickly,
• 34:07
  Speaker 2: watching with great interest. How this shit is developing? Sounds good?
• 34:13
  Speaker 2: Would you roll?
• 34:14
  Speaker 4: Jason? Eighteen eighteen? Let's go ahead and roll order, all right?
• 34:19
  Speaker 4: I rolled a flour by the way.
• 34:21
  Speaker 2: Nice.

  Speaker 4: So you push yourself into that piece of paper still hidden,
• 34:25
  Speaker 4: ready to pop out. Yeah, this order will be only

  Speaker 4: The tension in the glassroom is buzzing to the sound
• 34:53
  Speaker 4: of swift shots Arrow. Darius does not pull out his gun.
• 35:00
  Speaker 4: Swift shot does not shoot.
• 35:01
  Speaker 2: You, guys.
• 35:02
  Speaker 1: I could end this, I could.
• 35:03
  Speaker 2: I could end this meeting in a way that gets messy.
• 35:09
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 35:10
  Speaker 2: Could you also see what they're thinking of doing?
• 35:15
  Speaker 1: I'll try. I'd like to try to sense everyone's state
• 35:20
  Speaker 1: in there from where I am and who's who's hot? Yeah,
• 35:24
  Speaker 1: go down without us a happy trigger finger.
• 35:27
  Speaker 4: This is an epic check. So I'm only a D twenty.
• 35:30
  Speaker 4: There's a lot of people in there, and it's far away.
• 35:32
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I could beat it, and I could beat it. Okay,
• 35:38
  Speaker 1: Oh no, I can't. That's a five.
• 35:40
  Speaker 4: You send your sense up there, try and gain the
• 35:43
  Speaker 4: electricity in the room. You feel the surging power from
• 35:46
  Speaker 4: all of them, especially swift Shot as she is out
• 35:49
  Speaker 4: of invisibility and wielding this crazy energy. You can't tell
• 35:54
  Speaker 4: where heads are at.
• 35:56
  Speaker 1: I don't know, I don't know. It's too far, there's
• 35:58
  Speaker 1: too many of them.
• 35:59
  Speaker 2: It's okay, it's okayn.
• 36:00
  Speaker 6: Wait, we can wait, we can wait.
• 36:02
  Speaker 2: Okay, we're ready if they meet us. Yeah, did you
• 36:05
  Speaker 2: change her? Yeah, I'm here. Nice.
• 36:08
  Speaker 4: Cordula grabs one of the piece of papers that's right
• 36:12
  Speaker 4: next to Jason. Grabs one of the pieces of paper
• 36:15
  Speaker 4: that was a hard thing to say, that's right next
• 36:17
  Speaker 4: to Jason and makes a fist, crumpling it in her hands.
• 36:21
  Speaker 1: Jason, Oh, it wasn't It wasn't the one here, my brother.
• 36:25
  Speaker 6: Okay.
• 36:27
  Speaker 4: She looks at the mayor stone cold and just says,
• 36:30
  Speaker 4: you and your new pet need to get out of here,
• 36:33
  Speaker 4: because you know what happens if you don't. Mayor just says,
• 36:38
  Speaker 4: you're right, you're right. I'll go, But I just wanted
• 36:42
  Speaker 4: to tell you, remind you who's in charge in this city.
• 36:50
  Speaker 4: Both swift Shot and the Mayor disappear as swift Shot
• 36:53
  Speaker 4: touches his shoulder.
• 36:56
  Speaker 1: I would like to track them now I've seen both
• 37:01
  Speaker 1: her energy and yes, see if I can see them
• 37:05
  Speaker 1: unless I mean, we have established it's by sight. So
• 37:09
  Speaker 1: does her invisibility cancel out what I can see technically,
• 37:14
  Speaker 1: because if I like look in a mirror, I don't
• 37:16
  Speaker 1: see it in myself or anyone reflected in the mirror.
• 37:21
  Speaker 6: Right.
• 37:21
  Speaker 4: But but the body is still there, even though it's invisible.
• 37:26
  Speaker 4: Still the body Adiyadi is still there.
• 37:30
  Speaker 2: So she left.
• 37:32
  Speaker 4: No no, she takes and the quiver and the thigh
• 37:36
  Speaker 4: high boots quiver. The mayor takes his goggles over the body.
• 37:43
  Speaker 2: The body Idiyadi is still there.
• 37:46
  Speaker 4: So I think that you still sense the electrical the
• 37:50
  Speaker 4: electrical signals running through them even though even they can't
• 37:54
  Speaker 4: see them.
• 37:54
  Speaker 1: Okay, I would like to try to see them, sense
• 37:58
  Speaker 1: them electric?
• 38:00
  Speaker 2: Yeah, absolutely, roll, Yeah, let's roll. They're still very far away.
• 38:03
  Speaker 4: But you have narrowed down who you're trying to sense
• 38:06
  Speaker 4: right now, so this is a difficult check them on.
• 38:08
  Speaker 2: In a D twelve five, I rolled a four.
• 38:11
  Speaker 1: Who wolf failed on a five, succeeded on a five.
• 38:15
  Speaker 2: That's team up, baby, we win these.
• 38:19
  Speaker 4: You sense that they go up the short ladder through
• 38:23
  Speaker 4: the door that's in the ceiling. They don't open the door.
• 38:26
  Speaker 4: Somehow they phase through the door.
• 38:28
  Speaker 1: You do either of you know if swift Shot has
• 38:31
  Speaker 1: phasing ghosty powers?
• 38:34
  Speaker 2: I think so. Yeah, Oh man, I gotta talk to Derek.
• 38:38
  Speaker 2: You sense that they walk down.
• 38:40
  Speaker 4: The stairs into the cargo hold.
• 38:43
  Speaker 1: They're here, they're in the hold, and they.
• 38:46
  Speaker 2: Just start heading out into the station.
• 38:51
  Speaker 1: But they're just heading out of the hold. Guys, They're
• 38:54
  Speaker 1: just they're here.
• 38:56
  Speaker 6: Do we just try to I don't know, I don't know.
• 38:59
  Speaker 6: I think there might be an opportunity to talk to
• 39:02
  Speaker 6: the mob.
• 39:03
  Speaker 1: Ye enemy, my enemy, right, Yeah, yeah, I'm just I'm
• 39:08
  Speaker 1: just focusing on where they're like weaving through the crowd
• 39:11
  Speaker 1: and through the bizarre phantom. Didn't you do something with
• 39:15
  Speaker 1: paper where you could track people?
• 39:18
  Speaker 2: Yeah, if we can get paper on.
• 39:20
  Speaker 1: Them, Oh, I don't think I could get that close,
• 39:25
  Speaker 1: not just as I am.
• 39:26
  Speaker 2: We could try.
• 39:27
  Speaker 6: Should we leave? I'm still in the piece of paper
• 39:30
  Speaker 6: in this meeting. You guys want me to dip out
• 39:31
  Speaker 6: of here? I also don't think you're talking probably right?
• 39:35
  Speaker 6: Oh yeah, you just hear crumpling sounds.
• 39:40
  Speaker 1: Yeah, we just let them go for now, for Now.
• 39:47
  Speaker 6: In that case, I'll slowly emerge from the piece of
• 39:50
  Speaker 6: paper into the room filled with mobsters, full full phantom
• 39:54
  Speaker 6: gear smoking my I've got the drugs in my mouth
• 39:57
  Speaker 6: like a cigar. The feather first giant, big Carmen san
• 40:04
  Speaker 6: Diego had like flops out and unfurls from the piece
• 40:08
  Speaker 6: of paper on the desk and rising like a ghost,
• 40:11
  Speaker 6: standing up, and then the collars pop up on the giant,
• 40:17
  Speaker 6: the giant trench coat like wet wings of a dragonfly unfurling.
• 40:23
  Speaker 6: I stand on the desk, sucking on eye drugs.
• 40:28
  Speaker 2: Well, well, well, fancy meeting you.

  Speaker 6: I'm the paper phantom.
• 40:48
  Speaker 4: Ah we heard of you met your friend the electric girl.

  Speaker 2: Oh that's me.
• 40:55
  Speaker 1: She's talking about me.
• 40:57
  Speaker 6: Well, then you know that I'm no fan of the
• 41:00
  Speaker 6: Irish mob And I'll say the mayor ain't on my
• 41:05
  Speaker 6: best friend's list either. I keep a list of my
• 41:09
  Speaker 6: best friends.
• 41:10
  Speaker 2: Cordula says, not a very long list.
• 41:13
  Speaker 6: Huh hey, I've got two people on my best friend's list.
• 41:19
  Speaker 6: At that c.

  Speaker 2: Jamiir is gonna start hovering up.
• 41:26
  Speaker 4: You hover up over the crowd, Yeah, manny see you Jamir.
• 41:31
  Speaker 4: As Rigel lifts up, what do you look like in
• 41:34
  Speaker 4: this moment above this crowd.
• 41:36
  Speaker 2: Yeah, Rigel is in like a three point stance, his
• 41:41
  Speaker 2: three quarter lengths cape dangling below the flight star. As
• 41:46
  Speaker 2: I were ascending through the crowd, flying up above to
• 41:52
  Speaker 2: look into this room, my cowl covering my face but
• 41:57
  Speaker 2: leaving my jaw exposure, which is set. Seriously, I'm still
• 42:03
  Speaker 2: looking in as I'm going toward my compatriot. I'm still
• 42:08
  Speaker 2: scanning the crowd, as if I could still track where
• 42:13
  Speaker 2: the Mayor's gone to.
• 42:15
  Speaker 6: You come to the glass wall, I gesture behind the mobsters.
• 42:20
  Speaker 6: That's Rigel best friend number one.
• 42:23
  Speaker 1: I guess that's me. I electrically magnetize my suit to
• 42:28
  Speaker 1: the to the window. I just just go like chest first.
• 42:34
  Speaker 2: Broadcast best friend number two, wiggle my fingers.

  Speaker 4: A Riel and Sophia looks at you, Quanta and kind
• 43:00
  Speaker 4: of waves her hand. Wa We have had many unexpected
• 43:05
  Speaker 4: visitors tonight, phantom, excuse me, we are weary.
• 43:09
  Speaker 2: What is all this about?
• 43:11
  Speaker 4: As the people down far below gawk at this meeting
• 43:16
  Speaker 4: between heroes and crime lords.
• 43:19
  Speaker 6: Well, the way I figure it, we've got a common enemy.
• 43:23
  Speaker 6: I know we've clashed a little bit here and there
• 43:26
  Speaker 6: in the streets, but we know that the real problem
• 43:29
  Speaker 6: here needs to be taken care of and we could help.
• 43:34
  Speaker 2: And the what do you propose, paper Man?
• 43:39
  Speaker 6: So glad you asked, I take the eye medicine out
• 43:42
  Speaker 6: of my mouth?
• 43:43
  Speaker 2: Drugs? Is that? Is that the apple of eye? Yeah?
• 43:46
  Speaker 6: I like it.
• 43:47
  Speaker 2: That will not be good in the morning.
• 43:49
  Speaker 6: Myum is crampy.
• 43:50
  Speaker 4: Has that hurt your tummy real bad? That not good
• 43:55
  Speaker 4: for your tummy.
• 43:56
  Speaker 6: Look, what I'm proposing is me and my friend take
• 44:01
  Speaker 6: Shay off the board. We find a way to do that.
• 44:06
  Speaker 6: And I need assurances that another war won't break out
• 44:11
  Speaker 6: over the power vacuum. We're thinking things through this time.
• 44:16
  Speaker 6: Hasegawa starts to speak. None of you understand, and knowingly
• 44:22
  Speaker 6: not until Endo says, we have been hurt the most
• 44:28
  Speaker 6: by the flog. If someone should take that quadrant of
• 44:32
  Speaker 6: the city, it should be us. Darius says, Wait, hold on,
• 44:37
  Speaker 6: hold on, what you mean you just take over the
• 44:40
  Speaker 6: whole that's a whole fourth of the city. None of
• 44:43
  Speaker 6: them like that idea. They all kind of up in
• 44:45
  Speaker 6: arms about that, Sofia, Yeah, no with us too much.
• 44:48
  Speaker 6: We can't give you all that city.
• 44:50
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I like whispering about your piece, Phantom. I thought
• 44:53
  Speaker 1: I thought our common enemy was the mayor? Now or
• 44:55
  Speaker 1: why what about why Shay? Because priorities for me, dude,
• 45:00
  Speaker 1: p purities for the city.
• 45:02
  Speaker 6: Come on, Oh okay, we can negotiate, all right.
• 45:06
  Speaker 2: What do you think, the three of you? What do
• 45:08
  Speaker 2: you think?
• 45:09
  Speaker 4: Who should that part of the city go to? If not,
• 45:11
  Speaker 4: the flog crime will happen there.
• 45:14
  Speaker 6: Cordula says, I do have a bad idea that I'm
• 45:18
  Speaker 6: open to better ones.
• 45:20
  Speaker 1: What's your idea of Phantom?
• 45:22
  Speaker 2: What do you think?
• 45:23
  Speaker 6: Well, let's just say, hypothetically we knew another familial head
• 45:30
  Speaker 6: of the Irish mob that could take shapes place.
• 45:34
  Speaker 4: Oh my gosh, okay, let me stop you here, Phantom.
• 45:39
  Speaker 4: You don't seem one to have been to many crime meetings.
• 45:43
  Speaker 2: What makes you say that?
• 45:46
  Speaker 4: I you take the Irish Mob off the map for us.
• 45:51
  Speaker 2: What do you get in return? Where's this going?
• 45:55
  Speaker 1: Yeah, phantom, where is this going?
• 45:58
  Speaker 6: We got a city to save. It's on brother, right, right,
• 46:01
  Speaker 6: I know, I know, guys, it's cool. Help me out here, right,
• 46:05
  Speaker 6: we're all on a team. Okay, best friend number two. Sorry,
• 46:12
  Speaker 6: I didn't mean to rank you. It wasn't like that.
• 46:15
  Speaker 2: I was going to imagine it.
• 46:18
  Speaker 6: Well, look, the comings and goings of the mayor are
• 46:20
  Speaker 6: something that we've had trouble tracking.
• 46:23
  Speaker 2: Ah, so this is where it is. You want to
• 46:26
  Speaker 2: be involved in the election.
• 46:28
  Speaker 6: Oh we're already involved.
• 46:30
  Speaker 2: Are you interesting?
• 46:32
  Speaker 1: I point to my I voted stigree.
• 46:35
  Speaker 4: You voted congratulations. I just told them I do not
• 46:41
  Speaker 4: want to take this election in an insincere way. However,
• 46:50
  Speaker 4: the people need to know the truth about their mayor.
• 46:53
  Speaker 4: If you can help me with that.
• 46:55
  Speaker 1: Yes, No, that's something we can get on board with.
• 47:02
  Speaker 4: You can all hear either through the glass or through
• 47:04
  Speaker 4: your earphone things.
• 47:05
  Speaker 6: Okay, okay, Look, all I'm saying is we have common goals, right,
• 47:09
  Speaker 6: so why don't we divide and conquer here. We could
• 47:14
  Speaker 6: take care of say or we could take care of
• 47:17
  Speaker 6: the election and whatever we don't take care of. You
• 47:21
  Speaker 6: guys handle preferably without there being blood in the streets.
• 47:27
  Speaker 6: So whichever way that is, we could facilitate. Sophia chimes in, well,
• 47:33
  Speaker 6: if you could let the people know about the evilness
• 47:38
  Speaker 6: of may or, perhaps we could come to some kind
• 47:41
  Speaker 6: of deal. We could split sass two ways between me
• 47:47
  Speaker 6: and Yakuza.
• 47:49
  Speaker 4: Darius obviously doesn't like that. Cordulla calms everyone down and says,
• 47:54
  Speaker 4: I'm gonna do what I can to win this thing.
• 47:57
  Speaker 4: But even if we do you get an election for mayor,
• 48:02
  Speaker 4: the incumbent mayor will still run and the people need
• 48:06
  Speaker 4: to know who he really is.
• 48:09
  Speaker 1: Yep, I think that is something we could get on.
• 48:11
  Speaker 4: There's a cop. Her name's Elaine. She's in the SaaS district.
• 48:17
  Speaker 4: She's got a lot on the mayor. I don't know
• 48:20
  Speaker 4: if she's been too scared or been threatened, but she's
• 48:25
  Speaker 4: got a lot. If that can go public at the
• 48:27
  Speaker 4: right time, if you can help her, then maybe maybe
• 48:31
  Speaker 4: the people would vote for somebody else.
• 48:33
  Speaker 6: Wells starting to begin the formation of a plan here, Rag.
• 48:39
  Speaker 6: You guys saw us up through the glass. You guys
• 48:42
  Speaker 6: take care of the flog, and we get the dirt
• 48:45
  Speaker 6: on the mayor out to the public. We've got ways
• 48:51
  Speaker 6: of distributing that information through the air waves through the paper.
• 48:56
  Speaker 6: Got a big, strong, beefy delivery boy.
• 49:00
  Speaker 2: Uh.
• 49:01
  Speaker 4: Cordula nods, and if you are able to do that,
• 49:04
  Speaker 4: we promise, she looks at her fellow crime lords, that
• 49:11
  Speaker 4: we won't fight over sas well. We'll that'll be a
• 49:15
  Speaker 4: whole other meeting, but we'll need to find a way
• 49:17
  Speaker 4: not to fight over.
• 49:18
  Speaker 6: Sas sounds like we have ourselves a deal.
• 49:21
  Speaker 2: Wait, am I saying the wrong district? Ask? Ask? Even
• 49:26
  Speaker 2: saying sas fuck? Just say it a couple different ways.
• 49:29
  Speaker 4: Ask, ask, ask, ask, ask, ask, dope, b do I ask?
• 49:39
  Speaker 4: Shake your ask? If you can do that, we can
• 49:45
  Speaker 4: promise there won't be a fight over ask. We'll have
• 49:49
  Speaker 4: to figure it out. It'll be a home other meeting.
• 49:51
  Speaker 4: But somebody will run ask be maybe my son. They
• 49:57
  Speaker 4: all erupt again. It's like no bisa.
• 50:02
  Speaker 6: All right. Well, we'll leave you to figuring that out
• 50:04
  Speaker 6: and we will handle the mayor.
• 50:10
  Speaker 2: All right.
• 50:11
  Speaker 4: As you guys start to go, Cordula does yell so
• 50:15
  Speaker 4: that both of you can hear it, even in your
• 50:17
  Speaker 4: even through the glass.
• 50:19
  Speaker 2: Hey, heroes, thank you, and you head off. I'll leave
• 50:26
  Speaker 2: before we go.
• 50:26
  Speaker 6: Can I just leave like a blank piece of paper
• 50:30
  Speaker 6: that just says paper, Phantom on it and like give
• 50:33
  Speaker 6: it to her, like if you need anything else?
• 50:36
  Speaker 2: What what do I? What would I do with this?
• 50:39
  Speaker 2: Let's call? Is there a number on it?
• 50:42
  Speaker 1: No?
• 50:44
  Speaker 2: How do I I'll know?
• 50:46
  Speaker 3: Right?
• 50:47
  Speaker 2: Do I throw it in the air? Do I just right?
• 50:51
  Speaker 2: What you need on there?
• 50:52
  Speaker 6: Oh?
• 50:52
  Speaker 2: Okay, got it?
• 50:55
  Speaker 6: I sink back in the paper.
• 50:57
  Speaker 1: I turn around on the glass to my feet in.
• 50:59
  Speaker 1: My palms are on it, and like in like a
• 51:02
  Speaker 1: spider man, crouch and push off into the crowd.
• 51:07
  Speaker 4: Any guys head out, anything else you want to get
• 51:09
  Speaker 4: done here in the cargo hold before you move on?
• 51:12
  Speaker 1: I think I've made We've made too much of a splash. Yeah,
• 51:16
  Speaker 1: big splash, big old splash.
• 51:19
  Speaker 6: Try to fly on out of here. Yeah, I'll grab
• 51:22
  Speaker 6: a candle, mushroom.
• 51:25
  Speaker 1: Tangle, strike strike away as soon as we can. Uh,

  Speaker 5: What do you mean?
• 51:51
  Speaker 2: Not cool?

  Speaker 6: That we resolved that entire situation without cutting anyone's dick?
• 51:58
  Speaker 6: I would say this is progress. I just this is Look,
• 52:03
  Speaker 6: we have a lot on our plate. Now we can
• 52:05
  Speaker 6: focus on the election. We were already gonna do that. Yes,
• 52:08
  Speaker 6: we dig up a little dirt on Mayor Stephanson. We
• 52:10
  Speaker 6: don't have to worry about Page's mortal safety because the
• 52:15
  Speaker 6: mob's gonna handle It's an internal mob situation.
• 52:19
  Speaker 1: I feel like you just tired some mercenaries. Friend.
• 52:21
  Speaker 2: Look, everything I know about these mobs is that they're
• 52:24
  Speaker 2: kind of okay. They're just doing business under a very strict,
• 52:27
  Speaker 2: semi authoritarian system.
• 52:29
  Speaker 1: And cutting off each other's heads.
• 52:31
  Speaker 2: That was the Irish doing that to the Yakuza.

  Speaker 6: all right, we can't. Look, I can speak from experience.
• 52:49
  Speaker 6: Getting rid of them is only gonna make the city worse.
• 52:52
  Speaker 6: They do provide valuable services to the city, whether it's
• 52:55
  Speaker 6: bringing in contraband medicine, books, whether it's providing alcohol sexual
• 53:02
  Speaker 6: services to the city. I'm not saying those things are great,
• 53:05
  Speaker 6: but if they don't happen under some kind of organizational structure.

  Speaker 4: close to the excitement. She turns on the TV as
• 56:57
  Speaker 4: you guys all come into the living space and there's
• 57:01
  Speaker 4: an important announcement on New Babel News. You see the
• 57:06
  Speaker 4: mayor not having gotten in front of the camera for
• 57:09
  Speaker 4: quite some time. People of New Babel, it's your dear Mayor.
• 57:14
  Speaker 4: And I hate to say, but we are under attack.
• 57:17
  Speaker 4: There are parties trying to turn you against me, upstart politicians,
• 57:25
  Speaker 4: filling your minds with lies, masked to lawbreakers, impending the
• 57:31
  Speaker 4: works of our brave police force. But though these times
• 57:36
  Speaker 4: are troubled, I want to assure you that I am
• 57:39
  Speaker 4: not going anywhere. I am honored to be your mayor
• 57:42
  Speaker 4: and to serve you, and I will not let my
• 57:45
  Speaker 4: service be taken away. They will try to steal my
• 57:50
  Speaker 4: seat but it is you, the people who will keep
• 57:55
  Speaker 4: them from doing so.
• 57:57
  Speaker 2: So please vote.
• 57:59
  Speaker 4: Vote so that we don't waste meaningful New Babel dollars
• 58:04
  Speaker 4: on a meaning less election.
• 58:07
  Speaker 2: But if it does go through.
• 58:09
  Speaker 4: Vote for me to maintain control of the chaos. A
• 58:12
  Speaker 4: crime lord and a disgraced cop are your other options.
• 58:16
  Speaker 2: Your choice is simple.
• 58:19
  Speaker 4: He is then joined in the New Babel news studio
• 58:24
  Speaker 4: by the masked city Council, and as a show of faith,
• 58:31
  Speaker 4: the city Council has agreed to remove their masks. What
• 58:35
  Speaker 4: we cannot expect you to trust those who you cannot see,
• 58:39
  Speaker 4: so unlike those so called heroes who fly around causing havoc,
• 58:44
  Speaker 4: meet your city council and see their true faces. They
• 58:47
  Speaker 4: work for you tirelessly and the things they have in
• 58:50
  Speaker 4: store for when we remain in power or a cause
• 58:53
  Speaker 4: for celebrations pulls. The first city council member takes off
• 58:58
  Speaker 4: the fedora that has as the fallen the falling. It's
• 59:03
  Speaker 4: kind of like a gold chain male veil with very
• 59:06
  Speaker 4: fine rings. Takes off the hat. It's a woman. My

• 1:00:06
  Speaker 4: I'm a bar owner in sass and I work hard

  Speaker 4: for you every day.
• 1:00:10
  Speaker 2: Oh my god.
• 1:00:11
  Speaker 4: The mayor says, you see ordinary people just like you,
• 1:00:16
  Speaker 4: representing you and moving to work with your best interests
• 1:00:21
  Speaker 4: in art.
• 1:00:24
  Speaker 2: Boat Stephenson.
• 1:00:27
  Speaker 4: He looks at the camera as such intensity and.
• 1:00:31
  Speaker 2: It cuts to commercial. God, I hate that guy. Huh.
• 1:00:36
  Speaker 6: I'm confused. I feel like our list was different, right, Yeah?
• 1:00:39
  Speaker 6: Did I just write it down?
• 1:00:40
  Speaker 1: Yeah? No, they didn't get haircuts or anything. Those were
• 1:00:42
  Speaker 1: different people.
• 1:00:43
  Speaker 2: Oh yeah, they're still hiding. Of course they are, and
• 1:00:47
  Speaker 2: more lies. Of course they are.
• 1:00:50
  Speaker 1: Those people are probably terrified. They probably threatened their families,
• 1:00:53
  Speaker 1: threatened their businesses.
• 1:00:55
  Speaker 2: What's sad is that I wish that was our city council. Right,
• 1:01:00
  Speaker 2: normal people from around the city. Actually, no real problems.
• 1:01:05
  Speaker 2: We would be so lucky.
• 1:01:06
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I wonder what Manny knows about this.
• 1:01:10
  Speaker 6: Well, either way, we're gonna need a way to expose
• 1:01:14
  Speaker 6: all of this, right, Yeah, definitely should. Maybe we should
• 1:01:19
  Speaker 6: try and find a lane. The mob said she had
• 1:01:22
  Speaker 6: dirt on the mayor. Yeah, we'll need tangible evidence.
• 1:01:27
  Speaker 1: Yeah, maybe we.
• 1:01:27
  Speaker 2: Start there, need to start somewhere, we.
• 1:01:30
  Speaker 1: Do, We need to start now. We're running out of time.
• 1:01:35
  Speaker 2: I'll suit up me too.
• 1:01:37
  Speaker 1: Put my soft boiled eggs to the side. We could
• 1:01:40
  Speaker 1: save those, Okay, I put them in an envelope. I
• 1:01:43
  Speaker 1: should eat them really fast because soft boiled doesn't last
• 1:01:45
  Speaker 1: very long than I'm out of the envelope.
• 1:01:48
  Speaker 4: Yeah, respect the eggs. Jackie and Maria are hanging out.
• 1:01:52
  Speaker 4: Jackie looks at you guys a little sheepishly.
• 1:01:57
  Speaker 2: Guys.
• 1:01:57
  Speaker 4: The stuff's bad, right, Yeah.
• 1:02:02
  Speaker 2: The mayor just more lies. I don't know.
• 1:02:06
  Speaker 4: Marie and I have been talking and she said that
• 1:02:09
  Speaker 4: she said she was meant to find the person who
• 1:02:11
  Speaker 4: is supposed to be the next ever Wing And uh,
