Thank you.
All right.
Before I read the summary, we do have some.
You're just going to keep playing it?
The background?
No.
Yeah.
I had to exit out of it.
Oh, was it too loud?
No, I just repeated.
No, just.
Yeah.
Oh, I closed it right away.
Oh, you have to close it yourself?
I think so.
Yeah.
Oh, OK.
All right.
Let's see.
Is this the shot music from Zelda?
From Wii.
From the Wii.
Oh, can you read the names of the songs?
No, I'm just that good.
You're pretty good.
You got Donkey Kong last week.
Yeah.
You did, yeah.
I never would have got Donkey Kong.
He even nailed the name of the level.
He did.
Yeah, it was.
That's either really impressive or really sad, and I don't know which.
It's best not to guess.
It's both, I think.
It's a double-edged coin.
It's both.
It's a double-edged coin?
Yeah.
Now I'm more confused.
Doesn't it have no edges?
Oh, I'm glad we're getting this comedy gold for Craig.
Yeah.
That's just another one.
It's got three edges.
That's just another one of my witticisms.
There's two edges.
Yeah.
Max Skyblade's witticisms.
They're going to put it in a book someday.
I'm a diplomat.
You just shout that anywhere you go, and you're taken care of.
They'll give you a nice shiny limo.
All charm, no harm, Max Skyblade.
You guys know it was always my dream to pretend to be a diplomat, all right?
I don't know that.
Sartre does not know that.
Oh, well.
Wait, is this in-game, or is this like a real thing?
No, no.
It's very meta right now.
All right.
Do you guys want to spend your experience points?
I do.
I'm actually thinking I might hoard them.
You're going to continue to hoard them?
You can't take them with you?
Only?
Yeah, I have my shit after this.
If I'm going on the smuggler tree, it's all 25 and up from there.
Or if I'm going to just upgrade my general skills, then it's going to cost me just about as much, I think.
I'm pretty close to doing the same thing.
Well, I have to look at the tree.
Yeah, my smuggler tree, I was just looking at it.
I'm pretty sure I'm at the next thing I can get is exactly 25.
I mean, you'll get more.
I mean, what's the use to saving them so you can spend them at once?
We're not very good at keeping up with it.
With what?
Getting experience points?
Yeah.
It's because you guys move very slow.
Blame God on that one.
No.
Never.
Okay, and then can you remind me what my...
Because I'm probably going to try to upgrade one of my general skills or some of that.
Or not.
Can you remind me what my main ones were?
Can you...
I don't know if I can...
Your career?
Yeah, my career ones.
Is that scoundrel?
Because I know it's a pilot.
But like, what's the ones...
I think it's coordination.
You're not a pilot.
You're a human smuggler.
Oh, no.
You're not a human smuggler.
You're just a smuggler scoundrel.
Smuggler.
Let's see.
Coordination.
I think I have...
You can open your character sheet in the game, too.
It should have career skills on there.
Oh, no.
No.
It's all messed up.
It shows every single one is a career skill, which is not true.
So...
Also, our tokens aren't here.
Let me give it...
Yeah, they are.
Oh, there it is.
Those are the tokens.
Give me one second.
I got to find something to write with.
I forgot what that's.
No, not all mine are career skills, but most of them are.
Yeah.
Booze is all of them.
It got messed up.
And then I...
I fixed it, but...
Whatever.
It's a long story.
Well, apparently you didn't fix it.
I fixed something else and broke this, so...
It was worth the trade-off.
You'll just have to...
You'll just have to trust me.
I don't know if I can at this point in time.
All right.
Where's smuggler?
Okay, smuggler.
Coordination, deception, knowledge, perception, piloting...
Skullduggery.
Skull...
Yeah, skullduggery.
Oh, you got the list now?
I'm just looking at the...
I'm just confirming what you said.
Oh, okay.
I just wanted to try.
Skullduggery.
Skullduggery, streetwise, and vigilance.
I have also charm and cool.
So let me look.
Because you're a scoundrel, so you get more, too.
Because you're a specialization.
And the scoundrel adds charm, cool, deception, and ranged light.
Okay, that all sounds correct.
So...
And then...
I want to upgrade solid.
And then what...
Can you explain the math again earlier?
I didn't know.
I was kind of...
Mildly confused.
That's all right.
All right.
So for everyone else, I put it in the chat.
And I will go over it again.
Training a career skill to the next highest rank costs five times the rank it is being raised to.
So if you're going from zero to one, it would be five points.
Because you're going to one times five.
Yeah, but that's a career skill.
Don't career skills all start at one?
No.
Oh.
They do not.
Okay.
And if it's a non-career skill, it's still five for the rank you're going to, plus five for...
Because it's a non-career skill.
So if you're going from zero to one, it would be five.
Plus five is ten.
If you're going from one to two, it would be two times five is ten.
Plus five is fifteen.
Right.
I can figure it out if you got a question.
If it's helpful.
In your general skills book, because I have it where I'm marked with a C, the R is at the rank that I just missed.
I missed not putting that in there?
I missed not putting that in there.
So if you have a yellow, it's basically your number of yellows.
Oh, really?
Yeah.
So if you have two yellows, you're a rank two.
Oh, really?
Okay.
Yeah.
Because that's why I'm a rank two on my card.
It's slightly more complicated than that.
But at this point, it's the same thing.
Okay.
All right.
So I know what I'm going to do.
Yeah.
Go take care of your other customers.
Customers.
We store.
Customers.
We store.
To your skill store.
I'm going to do dodge.
All right.
So dodge.
And all right.
Let me mark the date.
One.
Eighteen.
Twenty.
I have to put the year now because we rolled over.
So dodge.
How much is that going to cost?
Five.
Because it's the.
It's the first one.
Yeah.
I will take your word for it.
Because I guess for some.
No, no, no, no.
No.
Well, in that case, I'm going to do master of shadows.
Master.
Shadows.
I should probably figure out what that does.
Maybe I want it.
Then I'm going to do another rank of stalker.
Wait.
So what is it?
Dodge?
Dodge.
Yeah.
Like a truck?
If I suffer strain to upgrade to difficulty, then yes.
That's a dodge.
Great.
Oh, okay.
I see.
Yeah.
So I'll suffer a strain to upgrade a difficulty die.
That's pretty cool.
Yeah.
And then another one for stalker.
Didn't you already have stalker?
Yeah, but there's three of them.
So now I'll add two boosts.
Oh, did you start with stalker?
Because I actually don't have you spending experience for stalker.
I don't know if I started with it, but I know I have it.
Because I've been using it this entire time.
Oh, here it is.
It's on the last one.
Yeah.
Okay.
You've been using it the whole time?
And you didn't even know if you had it?
Well, no.
I've had the first one of stalker.
Okay.
The first buy of stalker.
Now I have two.
So now I had two boost dies to stalk.
Level two?
Just stealth and coordination checks.
Wow.
And how much is that?
That's 15.
So I'm at 20.
So I'm going to sit on those last five.
All right.
Ghost, you've been awfully quiet.
Do you have a plan?
Not currently.
I'm just going to sit on mine for now.
Okay.
Because yours are probably still cheap because you haven't upgraded anything yet.
Yeah, that's true.
If you have 15, you can buy three of those first level skills.
You also don't have a specialization.
Yeah.
Like I said, I have to do some research on what I want this character to be.
Okay.
I can't do it right now.
Sorry.
All right.
Sorry.
I have to work while we play.
Okay.
So I didn't write down my rank.
So you'll just have to help me out.
How much would it be to upgrade my charm?
It says I have a yellow and two green.
So if you have a yellow and two green, then you probably have, let's see, charm.
Yeah, you're rank one of charm.
So you'd be going to rank two.
So it would cost 10.
Since it's a career skill, you're not adding the five experience point penalty.
So it's just 10.
And then what exactly is cool again?
I don't understand the concept.
Cool is...
That explains a lie, actually.
Yeah.
Cool is basically your ability to stay cool in battle.
Oh, I see.
It's that type of cool.
So we haven't been doing a lot of checks with cool other than like...
Like starting the fight.
For vigilance, yeah.
Yeah.
Okay.
Well then, I'd like to upgrade my charm to level two.
Minus.
Yeah, it's never really worked for you before, so...
Social skill interactions.
Let's see.
So if you...
If you're going...
If you're doing a check against someone,
cool would be used to negate charm.
So if someone was trying to charm you, you could cool your way out of it.
That's one thing you could do with it.
Has anyone tried to charm me?
No.
It's just...
Oh.
No.
No, they're not.
Because you're always preemptively charming.
I'm just supporting you.
Yeah.
All right.
So...
Uh...
Yeah.
And you are upgrading your...
Charm from one to two.
And so what would that be?
Would that be two yellow?
So then you'll...
Yeah, you're rolling two yellow then.
Just two yellow and no green?
You know what the upgrade is?
So what is...
Uh, I have...
Where's my little card?
What is, uh...
What's the ability for...
Charm?
Charm.
I lost my cards.
Does anybody know?
The what?
The ability.
What's it under?
Is it under presence?
It's under general skills.
No.
That...
No.
There's...
Let's see.
Cool.
Is...
Presence.
So what's your presence?
Your presence is three.
So you would be two yellow.
Oh, yeah.
Three.
Two yellow, one green.
Yellow, one green.
Okay.
So can I go forward with that then?
Two yellow, one green?
Yeah.
Two yellow, one green.
I have a charm, two.
All right.
And then...
How much would it be to upgrade my computers, which isn't in my career skill?
Would that...
Is that...
Does that come in?
So your computers is...
So right now you're ranked zero.
You would be going to rank one.
So it's five times one, five, plus the five experience points penalty.
So it would be ten altogether.
All right.
Let's do that as well.
Okay.
Oh, you're not hoarding them anymore?
Well, I just...
I'm gonna...
I thought I would, but now I'm realizing I can use them on my...
Spend them.
I gotta go through and, like, put the ranks on all this shit.
Yeah.
Is that on the...
That'll help.
Is that on the computer?
My ranks are...
The ranks are...
Oh, yeah.
Good.
Thanks for reminding me.
I'm gonna change these.
So charm is now level two.
And computers is level one.
And then what is the computer's role?
So that's gonna be one yellow and one green.
Beet.
That's a pretty sick combination, bud.
So minus another ten.
So you're at five.
Yeah.
So I'm just gonna...
Then I'm gonna keep that five.
Okay.
Yeah.
Yeah, I'd like to see you spend them.
Because, I mean...
Yeah, I just didn't...
I just can't proceed...
I honestly cannot proceed much farther on my smuggler's tree
unless I start spending, like, 25 and up, I realize.
So I was thinking about just hoarding it.
But if I can upgrade my skills, I guess that makes sense, too.
Right.
Yeah.
So, because I got my trees at that...
Is it, like...
I was just looking at it, and there's, like...
And not only that, the next thing on the tree is not even that good.
I don't think so.
We're...
So you're not...
You are at scoundrel.
Yeah, I'm not even sure where you're at.
Do you have...
I gotta see if I...
I don't have it written...
I have it written down somewhere, but I don't...
I don't know.
Now you have two books, so sorry about that.
What?
I said now you have two books, so it's probably in two different places.
I've been using the other book this whole time.
The old one?
I...
Well, yeah, I've been using the old one.
I mean, they...
They're the same.
Well, I mean, they're not the same.
I added some stuff in the second book.
Okay, I just figured the second one was for the next big arc.
No, it's supposed to be for this one.
Oh, shit.
Okay.
Because I think I gave it to you before we started this one.
I think so, but I was saving this for...
If we decide to go to, like, the...
What was it?
Force and Destiny.
Force and Destiny, yeah.
Okay.
I'm trying to see where I'm at on that tree, because I'm looking at...
I think my next thing is, like, Dedication, and that's 25.
And the next thing after that is Natural Charmer, that's 25.
And then after that, there's two...
The tree splits, and then I get to two different spots, but they're both 20 and 25.
So it's just my tree.
You're that far up?
I think so.
I was...
I'm pretty that far up, too.
I'm trying to see where I...
I'm trying to see where I last...
Yeah, Tuffin.
That's the last thing I was on, was Tuffin, I think.
So that was 20, and I...
Yeah, because I remember Hidden Storage and Convincing Demeter, and I do remember Tuffin.
Yeah, I guess Dedication is 25.
Wow.
I've gained plus one to a single characteristic.
That would be, like, your Brawn, or...
What else is up there?
Brawn.
See, I didn't even know what that was.
Yeah, so you know how, like, where your Brawn is at three?
Yeah.
It basically adds a green dye to all of, like, the Brawn-type checks.
I see.
Is that just his, or is that anyone's?
There's more than just...
All right, so Smuggler's got Dedication.
Who else has got Dedication?
I don't think...
I haven't seen that, so...
You might have a different...
That's just on my Smuggler tree.
Let's see.
Yeah, no, I saw it, because I was actually looking at it, too, at the same time.
Let's see.
Bounty Hunter Assassin.
Yeah, you have Dedication.
It's just I'm at that weird spot, if I'm looking at the tree.
I'm at that weird spot on the tree where everything's, like, 20 and 25 bucks, you know?
The fourth, or the fifth, so the bottom row, like, the third one over.
Oh, okay, gotcha.
There's Dedication.
But you gotta get...
You gotta get pretty far down.
Yeah.
But you have some of these.
Like, you have Quick Strike.
You have...
Yeah, I have most of them.
You have Lethal Blows.
No, I have Lethal...
Quick Strike.
I don't think I have Lethal Blows.
Oh, yeah, no, I do.
You do have Lethal Blows.
I just gotta get that second one to dodge, and then I can go to Dedication.
Dodge.
Oh, yeah, you're right.
So this is...
But that's 45.
Yeah.
I mean, that's, like...
It's a pretty...
It would be a pretty big jump.
Yeah.
Okay, so...
Computers.
You upgraded.
And Charm.
So that...
So you're good on your checks on the computer.
Sarn.
Uh...
You are...
Dodge and Stalker.
Where do I add that on here?
I'm pretty sure I can add that in here.
Out of my character sheet?
Yeah.
I mean, it doesn't...
Like, you can't pull it up at all, but...
Yeah.
You just have to...
But I'm usually pretty good about remembering that.
Oh, yeah, here they are.
Here's all your talents.
They're called talents.
That's obvious, I guess, in retrospect.
Can I access them?
Yeah.
Yeah, so do you know that you have different tabs on your character sheet?
Um...
No?
So pull up your character sheet.
Yeah.
On the right-hand side, there should be, like, tabs.
Oh, okay.
You can go to different tabs.
It has, like, your items and...
Oh, okay.
Gotcha.
I see it.
And I'm adding dodge.
Dodge.
Duck.
Not duck.
Dive.
And dodge.
Andy, have you ever seen Dragon Ball Z abridged?
What?
Not abridged.
But I did want to show you...
I didn't want to show you this.
I found it.
Oh, nice.
And when we were going through our crawl space.
Nice.
I love this thing.
I was looking for it for a long time.
I'm pretty sure I have a Goku.
I have two different...
I have a Goku and a Piccolo at home.
Oh, really?
Yeah, I have a Super Saiyan Goku and a regular one.
But Dragon Ball Z abridged is a redubbed version of DBZ,
and it's cut down to maybe 10 minutes,
and it's hysterical.
They make fun of the whole show and all that.
Oh, really?
And so the whole training sequence for Piccolo
when he trains Gohan is just like...
Lesson number one.
Dodge!
And he just starts blasting at him.
He's like, dodge!
Dodge!
Okay, anything else?
This program is pretty cool
with all the characteristics and everything,
looking through it.
Yeah, you mean like our character?
The boundary?
Yeah.
I'm glad someone finally added this.
Hey, I do have a complaint, though.
What's that?
It says gender male.
Oh, that was back when...
Wait, where does it say that?
Under the fourth tab,
it says basic information.
Oh, my Streetwise is number one of Streetwise.
Oh, yeah.
Why does it say that?
There, I fixed it.
Oh, my Streetwise.
I got to upgrade that.
Oh.
My sheet's wrong on this.
It might be wrong.
I don't know if this computer...
If the computer is, like, perfectly up to date.
Well, it says my...
Like, for instance, my Streetwise,
it says it's a higher rank than I have written down.
I have no rank for your Streetwise.
And...
Wait, hold on.
It says rank one.
Maybe.
I'm taking a look here.
Masturbating?
What?
I have minus one strain for masturbating in here.
Oh, yeah.
To, uh...
To trust Trax's girlfriend.
That was way back in the beginning.
I was just a lad.
I don't...
I don't have you upgrading Streetwise.
Well, it says it on the computer,
so I don't know if I...
I better undo that.
Unless you started with one Streetwise
from your pamphlet,
and I just didn't have it marked down.
Maybe.
Which is possible.
No, it says...
It says zero on this one.
That's the...
The one...
The pregen?
Yeah, that's the one you gave.
That's the one, yeah.
It says one?
No, it says zero.
Oh.
Well, I'm looking through my notes
to see if there's anything I wrote down.
Maybe someone missed it.
Yeah, I don't...
I don't...
I don't think so.
Yeah, I don't think...
I don't know why it says...
I might have...
made a mistake entering it.
Well, bitch.
Thanks for checking that, though.
Yeah, yeah.
Once again, my...
good deeds goes punished.
You really need to, uh...
upgrade your...
No.
It's my deception.
Yeah.
All right, whatever.
I can't even find Streetwise.
That's fine.
Don't worry about it.
Watch this session.
All Streetwise checks.
There it is.
In the jungle.
Did you say the chungle?
In the jungle.
A chungle should be something, though,
if it's not.
A chungus is a fat Bugs Bunny.
Oh.
There you go.
The more you learn.
All right.
Uh...
Chungle.
In the jungle.
The mighty jungle.
Oh.
Oh, that's, uh...
I know that song.
Acapella?
No.
Wail to the chimp.
With the help of the crew,
the clones have vanquished
the Taleo family...
the Taleo foe
in their formerly
impenetrable fortress.
Through some last-minute
heroic
and some bought time
thanks to a mighty
Vibroax,
the Allies were able
to crush the Monkey King
with his own tree trunk.
Let's hope the...
Wait, the Vibroax was mighty?
Yeah.
That's news to me.
Let's hope...
I have, uh...
I have an update on that.
Uh, but let me finish this first.
Let's hope the clone troopers
reward our heroes
with juicy plot treats
regarding the Radarian chain hideout.
Or, more likely,
the crew is probably
just gonna try to bully them
into giving up all their stuff
and murder them
before they say anything
about the plot.
Got us.
a...
We are nailed!
Turbo!
Uh, so I looked it up,
uh, the Vibroax thing.
Um, there are a couple things
that we forgot to take into account.
So, like we said,
about the...
the Brawn plus three
is the attack.
It does have, uh,
piercing two,
which means removing
the points of soak
equal to that rating.
So it will remove
two points of soak.
And it has vicious three,
I think?
Yeah, vicious three,
which means that
it adds 30 points
to any critical role.
Like, a critical injury role.
the threshold
for a critical injury
is only two,
um, which is actually
pretty low for a weapon.
So, uh,
it doesn't deal a lot of...
It does deal
a fair amount of damage,
but it also...
Mitigates defense.
Uh, yeah.
And it has good...
Exactly.
It has good crits.
So...
And it's more likely
to get crits.
Right.
So it's...
Okay, I don't hate it, though.
Yeah, so we kind of,
we kind of blew it.
Although,
it being somewhat weak
didn't really hurt you
last week,
but even so...
It should be...
It should be a better
weapon in the future
now that we know
how to do it.
We haven't had...
We haven't really had
a weapon that had,
like, what do they call them?
Quality?
Yeah, special rules.
Right.
What about these?
Uh, all right.
So, I think we'll
pick up in
the
Thalo's nest.
He's taking care of business.
Oh, that wasn't going to work.
Okay.
Um...
If you, yeah,
if you look around,
uh, you guys just managed
to slaughter
hundreds and
hundreds of monkeys.
I don't know about
hundreds.
Um,
there's, like,
four?
Yeah.
There was, like,
nine.
For every, every,
for every monkey symbol,
it was actually
about 25 monkeys, so...
Right, I guess I forgot
to tell you that last time.
Well, some of them
were actually worth
two monkeys, so...
Uh, all right,
so what has just happened
is that one of the clones,
I don't remember which,
uh, let's say it was Zeke,
hit the vine, uh,
that was holding, uh,
a tree in their fort down
that came slamming down
on the alpha monkey,
uh, crushing him,
and thus ending
the,
the banana fiends.
Well, uh,
that was close.
Uh...
It was very close.
I'm glad that one of you
was able to hit
the damn vine.
Well, you missed it, too.
I mean,
it was a good idea,
though, I gotta get that.
Yeah, but I wasn't
as close as you guys were.
Uh, true.
But,
all that matters now
is all our monkey foes
have been vanquished.
All of them?
Well,
a good number of them.
These were the ones
that were giving us trouble.
I mean, I'm sure we haven't
driven them to extinction,
but...
Do you guys want to?
You guys just want to give that...
I gotta taste for it now.
Exterminate all taleos.
Yeah, I've got a taste for it now.
These guys...
You gotta taste for monkey blood?
It's,
it's reversed Donkey Kong Country.
Where you kill all the monkeys
instead of...
And take all their bananas.
Oh.
Uh...
Oh, this is gonna be great.
Now we can, uh,
live mostly in peace.
Uh, but yeah,
let's,
let's head back to the encampment.
And, uh,
Zeke,
lead you guys back to
the clone encampment.
Uh,
you may remember it.
I remember getting
knocked out there.
Yes.
Yes,
you got knocked out
from Stimpax.
Yeah.
And, uh,
you guys start
walking back towards
the encampment.
Okay.
I don't know.
I was,
I was thinking maybe
you want to talk
or anything.
Uh,
I'm just walking.
Walking back to the encampment.
Are you just
just exhausted?
Do you have any of these
services to,
like,
eat?
Oh, no,
we'll,
we'll go back.
For sure.
Yeah,
we don't have a lot of food.
We used all our,
uh,
hunting grenades
on the,
uh,
the fish.
Except for one,
apparently.
Well,
except for that one,
uh,
which I didn't want to tell you
about for security reasons.
Okay,
fine,
whatever.
Uh,
you look,
uh,
a little bit hungry
for blood.
So I need to keep this one
in my back pocket.
And as,
while we're walking by,
I grab one of the half ones
that,
that ghost
cut in half.
Half monkey?
Oh,
yeah.
What are you bringing?
You're just,
like,
dragging it?
I'm dragging the,
the lengthwise half a monkey,
yeah.
Oh,
well,
yeah,
you know what?
That's a good idea.
And,
uh,
Zeke grabs the other half.
Uh,
and as you guys,
I mean,
this,
this half is for me.
Yeah,
well,
and this half is for me.
And then the other clones are like,
oh,
I guess maybe we should get our own monkeys.
And they grab some monkeys as well.
Um,
but as you guys pick up the,
uh,
the monkey that was torn in half,
you realize there's still a little sinew that's holding it together.
So as you guys pick it up,
um,
and try to pull it apart,
that they're still a little bit stuck together.
So you guys have like an awkward moment where you are like tugging on the monkey until it rips cleanly.
Oh,
it's like the wish ball.
Oh,
yeah.
What was the wish ball?
Which one got more?
I did.
Oh,
uh,
I'm getting my wish.
Oh,
okay.
Um,
and then you,
you come back and,
uh,
graph comes out to greet you guys.
Um,
he's half in the bag and he's like,
Hey,
of course he is.
You guys,
you're back.
Oh,
how did,
how did it go with the,
uh,
you know,
the monkeys?
like cleaning my ax and I just like indicate to the carcasses with it without like saying much.
Oh,
it went pretty well then.
So I guess we're eating good tonight.
You're not eating good tonight.
You're right.
I,
you're already drunk.
You'll throw up whatever you eat.
Oh boy.
That's rude.
But you're probably right.
Oh boy.
That's rude.
Uh,
and then he,
uh,
belches.
Um,
and,
uh,
you guys continue to walk in.
Just walk in.
Yep.
Rolling and rolling down to the beach.
I'm strolling.
Um,
all right.
I take a stick.
I take a stick and I put,
uh,
the tailio on it and put it over the fire.
I don't know about you guys,
but I feel pretty good about after all that.
That was a good fight.
You know what?
I feel like you guys aren't too bad.
I feel like I came back from that with a bit of a knowledge about myself,
about how about life and about computers.
And my charm feels a little bit on the,
on the cuff.
So,
you know,
go,
go.
Is it dark?
Yeah.
Oh no,
it's night now.
Oh my God.
I was talking for a long time.
No,
it was dusk earlier.
And now it's night.
You guys just let me,
let me rattle on.
I don't,
yeah.
I forgot the roll.
We didn't let you.
That's just you.
I forgot the roll light side point.
Should I do that now?
Oh yeah,
we got to do that.
Oh yeah,
let's do the destiny.
Uh,
I will send you dice.
and erase the.
It's our log.
Oh yeah.
Oh,
no,
I mean,
uh,
I did reset the,
all the points already.
Oh,
okay.
Now.
Oh,
wow.
This is shaping up to be really awesome.
Oh,
I don't think it added.
Oh,
it.
Oh,
it did let me.
Oh wait.
No,
that's what we wanted.
Let's go.
Yeah,
let's just redo everything.
No,
erase it all.
not happening.
And Ryan,
did you,
are you having trouble?
I can't,
I don't have the option.
You didn't get the destiny dice in the chat.
No,
no prompt.
Then just roll a destiny dice.
So if you click the dice in like at the bottom,
there's like a little D 20.
Uh,
that's it.
It's I,
it says I already rolled,
but I don't see where I,
where I rolled.
I,
I see it.
So one,
two,
three.
You're welcome guys.
I just see tiger.
So it's two and three.
Okay.
So yeah,
it's two and three.
Yeah.
All right.
Uh,
no,
you guys went to bed.
And then another clone trip was like,
yeah,
you guys were,
we're pretty good out there.
I know it seems like maybe it wasn't so hard to kill those monkeys,
but you know what?
We tried a lot and,
uh,
we did not have a lot of success.
Have you lost any troopers fighting them?
Uh,
yes.
Once we,
we did lose a trooper.
Uh,
we tried to just storm the wall and,
and climb it.
Uh,
but you know what?
They jumped right down on top of us and,
uh,
he got me or him.
we all,
you deserve it.
I do.
I don't think so,
but yeah,
I mean,
we've killed.
Uh,
and yet a third,
uh,
clone trooper.
Let's say it was,
uh,
Zeke.
No,
not Zeke.
I mean,
uh,
Jake.
He's like,
you know,
I feel real alive,
alive for the first time in a long time.
I feel,
I feel alive.
Uh,
it's just something else out there to be working with a team and just getting after it.
Here,
here.
And you guys,
is your community of yourselves here?
not a team.
We're,
we're a team,
but you know,
it's the same people,
you know,
we're a small team.
It's,
it's nice to get into the bigger team and like,
uh,
like being out in the battlefield,
uh,
you know,
you got some strangers and you're all working towards a common goal.
So yes,
we're work as a team,
but,
uh,
you know,
we're a small family here.
Just brought some,
some vigoration into my life.
If that,
if that is a word.
Well,
we're glad to be a part,
our family,
to be a part of your family,
to kill a family of monkeys.
Yes.
It brings us together.
You guys start passing around the,
the,
the cooked,
uh,
talos.
Sarn takes a big old bite.
Well,
he,
Sarn has his,
Sarn has Sarn's own.
Doesn't Sarn?
Yeah.
Sarn takes a big old bite.
Of his.
Okay.
Of,
of theirs.
Of theirs.
Yeah.
As they pass it around.
No,
but theirs was,
I,
Oh,
oh,
it's Sarn's.
Yeah.
Yes.
Sorry.
Gendered.
It was ungendered.
Okay.
So,
uh,
you know,
what,
what do you guys,
you guys said you're trying to get the Radarian chain.
What,
what,
what's your big beef with them?
Ghost,
why don't you take this?
it seems to be your biggest hang up.
But radar,
we are after the,
but radar,
right to the point.
It sounds,
right to the book.
It sounds a little bit personal.
It is.
Have you ever dealt with a,
but radar?
Uh,
no,
not directly.
We've never dealt with them directly.
We work for the radarians.
Uh,
as we talked about,
we're doing our jobs,
mostly,
you know,
doing scouting for them.
Uh,
I've never dealt with the radar myself.
You know,
he's just another boss to me.
Uh,
but you know,
the people that work for him are pretty scared of him.
As they should be.
But radars,
the butt radar is very,
very.
Straught and very capable of instilling fear into the ones that work under,
under the butt radar.
Yeah.
We've tried to keep on their good side if we can.
Uh,
and we've done a pretty good job of it.
So they're pretty happy.
They don't give us anything real too meaty to do,
but we're happy to get what we can.
You know,
we're,
we're not really sought after on the open market.
What do they ask you to do?
Like I said,
we're not really,
we're doing mostly scouting things around here,
checking out.
Um,
what do they have you scout?
Like when they're going to do a score,
they want us to,
to do some,
some scouting of the,
the area before they do it.
And like,
uh,
intelligence,
we're like consultants almost,
but also,
have they,
yeah,
have they reached out to you recently about any scores that they want to take?
Uh,
let's see.
Our most recent,
our most recent job was probably yes.
In the,
in the last couple of weeks.
What do they want you to do?
We were scouting a ship that was in the,
uh,
the shipyard trying to get just information on it and how they were going to pirate it later.
Uh,
I don't really know how it ended up,
but we just took a look at the ship and said,
this is,
well,
we might see points of egress.
Uh,
What's shipyard?
The shipyard down in town.
You guys,
you guys came from off world.
I take it.
I mean,
you didn't grow up here.
I don't think.
The one in Moshuda?
We're not on,
that's from Tatooine.
We did it here on planet.
We're in Sleucamai.
Right.
Yeah.
So,
we've,
we were doing reconnaissance here.
Um,
and they'll do some,
um,
advanced work on ships and they'll go up and then they'll meet them up in,
uh,
in space and,
and board them.
How did you guys go see these ships?
Well,
we traveled there on foot.
Yeah.
You walked there?
Yeah.
Out of the crater?
Yeah.
Out of the crater.
Or we'll hire a,
a speeder.
Sometimes.
Oh,
okay.
Uh,
I guess what I'm saying is we don't have speeders here anymore.
But,
yeah,
we,
we'll find a way to get there.
It's not always easy.
What was the name of the ship they had you scout?
Oh,
I don't,
I don't remember.
what did it look like?
It was,
uh,
it was a,
it was a cargo ship.
It looked like it was taking,
well,
we could tell it was taking weapons from,
from somewhere to somewhere.
Um,
but they wanted the weapons.
So,
we helped them.
What kinds of weapons?
you know,
I don't really know.
I,
had heard that they were for the Zahn Consortium.
Um,
and they're,
they're just known as arms dealers.
So,
I assumed,
they're,
all indications seem to be that they would be weapons.
Weapons are some other type of contraband.
The Zahn,
the Zahn Consortium is,
not really,
uh,
you know,
they're not in the,
legal business,
so to speak.
But you don't remember the name of the ship?
Uh,
I'm sure I have it written in,
a log somewhere,
but,
uh,
it's not coming to me right now.
Okay.
We might need that name.
Or what,
um,
what docking bay were they in?
All right.
I couldn't,
uh,
and he gives you coordinates for,
for docking bay.
Okay.
He tells you the general area of,
the spaceport in,
you know,
in description of,
where that ship was taking off from.
Okay.
Well,
I look at Ghost and,
and Mac and just say,
I think we should jump on,
on that ship.
Great.
So when,
when they hijack it,
then,
we can surprise them.
Yes.
Oh,
I see what you're going for here.
I see.
You want to lay,
you want to do an ambush on him.
Yeah,
exactly.
Okay.
Uh,
wait,
how do we know you're not going to tell them
everything we're talking about?
Well,
I,
and Zeke takes over.
Well,
I suppose you don't.
Uh,
if we're just being honest,
tactically,
uh,
we could turn you in.
Um,
I feel like we really bonded out there.
Um,
you gave us some real excitement.
Um,
and then another,
I have your word.
and then before he can finish another,
another clone says,
you know what?
Screw it.
I want to go out on top.
I'm tired of this living in tents.
Just going day by day.
Shit is boring.
You know,
I'm going to die anyway.
So like,
yeah,
you're,
you're probably going to die.
You know,
I want to go out on top.
And different clones like,
I don't know that.
I mean,
why mess with a good thing?
I mean,
yeah,
I guess this is boring,
but that's just what happens.
Is it a really a good thing to sit here living in the swamp?
Being looking around,
like looking around for the good thing.
Yeah.
Being,
being assaulted by monkeys,
taleos.
I mean,
we're not going to be attacked by taleos anymore.
For now,
for how long?
It's an entire species of,
they might want,
right?
There might,
they might be a revengeful,
or a vengeful species.
Wow.
Yeah.
Okay.
So do you want to live in here in fear?
Or do you want to come with us?
To challenge the Radarian game?
Challenge.
I don't know.
On a ship that can take you anywhere you want.
You made it seem like this guy's really scary.
Someone really to fear.
You're with Sar Turbo.
You don't have to worry about that.
I've killed many a butt radar.
The butt radar is fearsome,
but the butt radar is still only one beast.
And the butt radar has one weakness.
Mack Skyblade.
God damn it,
Mack.
We're going to take away my,
my awesome,
awesome thing to say.
All the clones,
all the clones start just,
just uproarious laughter.
not at him,
but they're all laughing together.
With him.
And then they're slapping,
they slap you on the back.
I got to ask you this though.
I've been noticed,
I noticed that you're walking out there.
You've,
your toe,
it's sticking out of your boot.
What's that all about?
My toe?
Yeah,
your toe.
It,
I lost it in a previous battle
and it was replaced with a former comrade of ours.
Not really former.
He's still back at the ship.
It's still back at the ship.
He is the ship.
He,
he,
it's part of the ship now?
Does he fly the ship?
He thinks he does.
Well,
there's your answer.
All right.
and the,
the clones sort of like look at each other
and says,
what are we going to do here,
boys?
Are we going to go,
let's,
let's take,
let's take a vote.
Who's up for staying here
and living in the mud?
And they look around.
One guy,
raise your hand back.
You're not staying in the mud?
One clone like sheepishly throws his hand down,
up and,
uh,
the clone sitting next to him gives him a dirty look
and he kind of puts it down.
He's like,
who,
who wants to go out fighting?
And they all raise their hands
and say,
well,
I think there you got it.
I guess we're in.
All right.
Back up your tents.
Well,
in the morning,
I let out like a,
I let out like a celebratory.
Lookie call.
That did not sound celebratory.
That sounded like a,
I've got a poop.
Let me try it again.
Oh,
I can't actually hear anything.
Oh,
how about now?
I was like,
what are you talking?
Oh,
I was wondering why you didn't react to any,
like last week.
Yeah.
I can't hear any of that.
Whatever it is you're doing.
Cause you got like some sort of wookie soundboard.
Yeah.
Have you been hearing the sound,
like the music?
Uh,
there's no music in this one,
but there was when we were playing the Wii music later,
earlier.
Is it cause the game's paused maybe?
Uh,
no,
do you have,
if you go to the music tab,
do you have it?
You turn it all the way down.
Yeah.
There's nothing playing now.
Oh,
it's pretty low,
but it wasn't all the way down.
Oh,
now I heard that.
Yup.
There it is.
That's a relatively victorious cry.
I guess.
It was a more of a,
why did I get my metal?
Uh,
why the fuck is everyone laughing at the Astro Metroid?
Okay.
Yeah.
I,
I think this is a good spot to take a break.
Uh,
I'm gonna need a minute.
A drink.
And a drink.
But I need a minute too,
because.
Did you show everyone your glasses?
Uh,
I think so.
When I first got them,
this is Andy got me a gift for Christmas.
Oh,
very cool.
This is the bourbon,
and it's got like,
the same thing I have on my patch.
Oh,
your last name.
Yeah.
Is that Mandalorian?
No,
it's,
well,
the,
this is,
but the,
the,
this is not the Mandalorian font.
This is just the Orobesh.
Mandalorian.
Leave me be.
On that note.
Oh yeah,
I'm gonna go get a drink.
Okay.
Miss you.
I'll see you next time.
I would...
They did not go in a direction I thought they were going to go, so I just needed a minute to set this up.
It's a good thing.
Okay.
Do you need the rest of the whiskey or the vodka?
Yeah, can you...
No, the rest of the whiskey.
Can you use the tea?
Yeah.
No, it is.
Oh, it's in the tea already.
Thank you.
And...
Oh, that would be nice.
Okay.
I'm going to say the soda.
Oh.
Thank you.
Yeah.
Okay.
Yeah.
There was a, um, basically like a mini strike, um, last week to try to force, um, CPS
to go remote, but it didn't work out.
Uh-oh.
The union leadership caved.
I mean, with all the numbers that have been going on.
It's insane, man.
We, like, we went remote for like fucking 70 cases like last year.
And now we have 30,000 cases a day and we won't go.
Yeah.
That's higher than what it was.
Way higher.
Yeah.
Orders, orders of magnitude higher.
Um, but yeah, I don't know.
It's just, it just seems like everyone's finally gotten to the point and all leadership has
finally gotten to the point where it's like, we don't care anymore.
We just want to get people back to work.
Back to normal.
Yeah.
It's like, well, if you get sick, tough.
Which is shitty because, I mean, if you get the original COVID, not the Omicron, because
Omicron is relatively just a flu cold.
You know, it sucks.
I think that's what we had.
Yeah.
Well, I think I had a flu remedy, but I can tell.
Testing doesn't seem to be very accurate.
So I had some flu-like symptoms, but I kept testing negative.
And then after my symptoms, I tested positive, but I never had other symptoms.
It was weird.
Oh, really?
Yeah.
The whole thing was weird.
Yeah, it was weird.
Yeah.
I think it has a lot to do with that.
Was it they do the antigen test?
Well, no, I got a PCR test and even that came back negative.
I was feeling sick this past weekend and they just gave me the antigen test.
Those are not super accurate.
I know.
And now they're going to go send me to work out with a bunch of fucking Joe Schmoes.
Yep.
What's the test?
Sorry, go ahead.
What's the test that Biden just sent out?
For free?
Those are antigen tests.
Yeah, they're antigens.
They are much faster.
They give you the results in five to 15 minutes, depending on the test.
Yeah, Bridget just signed up for that because they're free, I guess.
Right.
The nice thing about them is they can be wrong about whether or not you have COVID, but if
you test negative, so if you get a false negative from an antigen test, it does, though, mean that
you are not contagious for the day that you took the antigen test.
So you might have COVID, but you're not shedding it yet.
You're not spreading it.
So that's the benefit.
If you're going to go see someone old or something.
Yeah.
Well, if you're going to see someone old and you take one of those and you come up negative,
you can go see them that day and then everything should be fine.
You might have it still, but you're not going to give it to them.
At least that was the knowledge that was passed on to me.
And Ann's family is all very, very, very, very careful about COVID because our brother-in-law
is immunocompromised.
He had an organ transplant.
So it's pretty much a death sentence for him.
He has like a 70% chance of dying if he catches COVID.
Oh.
Yeah.
Do not like those eyes.
That's scary.
Yeah.
So.
So, yeah.
But, no, I mean, school is interesting.
I mean, there's lots of kids out.
I don't know.
And, like, you can tell CPS is being really fucky with the numbers.
So, like, lots of kids are, like, reporting that they have COVID, but it's not getting counted.
It's not getting, like, they're trying very hard to make the numbers seem lower than they are.
Sure.
And I don't really understand why.
Yeah.
I don't either.
That's.
Yeah.
That's fucked up, but.
Yeah.
Well, you can't have COVID if, well, you can't have high COVID numbers if you don't have
testing.
So, I guess.
Wasn't that what Trump wanted to do?
He's like.
Yeah.
Yes, it is.
It's weird that, like, we've come so far from Trump and yet now everyone's doing what he
was doing.
Yeah.
That's what he was like.
Isn't that what he said?
He's like, all the numbers are going up.
We'll stop taking so many tests.
Yeah.
It's also DeSantis is the current governor of Florida.
That seems to be also his strategy.
But he seems to basically be like Trump 2.0.
So, we'll see.
Oh, well.
Florida.
Where America goes to die.
That or Arizona.
But yeah.
Totally.
Also, America's Wang.
You're just unmuted.
Oh, man.
Yeah.
Thanks.
Thanks for telling me.
I had so many witty one-liners.
But.
I know.
We heard.
I saw you moving your mouth.
And I was just like.
Maybe he just is talking to himself.
I'm glad he didn't hear him.
Yeah.
Probably.
It was probably offensive.
Okay.
So, you guys will spend the night.
Um.
At the encampment.
Uh.
Yeah.
Why don't you guys.
Uh.
Spend the night here.
Tomorrow.
Uh.
The ship is planning on taking off.
Sometime in the early morning.
Early to mid-morning.
And, uh.
We'll head out then.
Well, what about our ship?
What about it?
Oh, I guess you guys can sleep on there.
Can we come sleep with you?
How long?
How far?
How far away is it?
Let's say it's not very far.
Like.
Just.
Conveniently.
Let's not worry.
Let's not worry about the travel distance.
I guess is what I'm saying.
All right.
Then, yeah.
Why don't.
Well, they gotta pack up and stuff.
But, whatever.
Well, I mean.
All our weapons are on us.
Yeah.
But.
Get some of those.
That good, good.
Stim.
Oh, the Stim.
Yeah.
Gotta take the Stim.
Oh.
Yeah.
I'll bring the Stim.
That.
That's me.
Dr. Oak.
Remember me?
Yeah.
I remember you, Dr. Oak.
Dr. Oak.
I've been sitting here for a while.
I haven't said very much.
Because.
To be honest.
I forgot how I.
How I talked.
But.
Uh.
Now that I remember.
Oh.
Yeah.
No.
I'll bring.
I'll bring my little suitcase.
And he starts.
He pats on.
Like this.
This little suitcase.
He has.
It looks like.
Uh.
Felix the cat's.
Bag of tricks.
It's like.
All the time.
Doctor bag.
Then yeah.
Let's just.
Go back to the.
The wave.
And get a good.
Nice rest on there.
I mean.
It's gotta be better.
Than sleeping on these.
Uh.
What.
Amounts to basically.
Dirt.
I'll bring.
I'll bring your sleeping bags.
Cause.
We've only got like.
Two extra beds.
And.
And the Wookiee takes both of them.
I wasn't.
I was including the Wookiee in that.
But.
Yeah.
And the cockpit's.
My.
Is my.
Is my hometown.
No.
I will sleep in the cockpit.
Zeke says.
You can both sleep in the cockpit.
Cut.
Agreed.
Can we do that?
Yes.
Never occurred to me before.
It's possible.
The room is there.
But bring your sleeping bags.
I do have.
I do hit.
I do get the Jimmy legs.
I just let you know.
Uh.
You know.
Well.
Hopefully you don't.
Kick a button.
That makes the.
Dejector seat go off.
Well.
I.
Then I hope.
Our fucking.
Computer can take care of that for us.
Hold on.
Zeke.
There's ejector seats here.
And you're just telling me about this now?
Not in the camp.
No.
On ships.
No.
On the ship.
Of course.
Is there an ejector seat on my ship?
I would have boosted him out a long time ago.
Isn't there an ejector seat on all ships?
No.
Wait.
No.
Wait a minute.
No.
Not in.
Not on the.
I don't.
If there was.
It certainly isn't working.
On the speeders.
Yes.
But maybe not.
No.
Wait.
Don't work.
The ship.
I think.
I don't think.
Our universe.
Is properly set up for ejector seats.
Because.
If.
If the Kahuna wave has ejector seats.
Then you're going to eject four people into the vacuum of space.
In their clothing.
All right.
Well.
That doesn't sound good.
Let's agree to this.
Let's agree to this beforehand.
Right.
Nobody tells our navigator droid.
There are ejector seats.
Whether or not there are or not.
There are not ejector seats.
Never bring up the fact.
That there may or may not be.
Guys.
Injector seats.
Guys.
The seats swivel.
They're definitely not.
Injector seats.
They swivel?
That's not.
Yes.
Bring up the fact that it's a possibility.
While we're on the ship.
My chair's on rollers.
Your.
Your ship sounds somewhat hostile to human life.
Yes.
Just.
Yeah.
Yes.
Absolutely.
Not just human life.
All life.
Uh oh.
Well.
I am.
Oh.
No.
Clones are human.
Are you trying to say I'm not human?
No.
I'm saying all life.
I think he was talking about me.
Yeah.
Oh.
The shag carpet on legs over there.
Yeah.
Okay.
Just don't talk about ejector seats.
In front of.
Or on the ship.
Sarge.
Yes.
Uh.
Can we bring some of this talo on board?
I mean.
It's mighty tasty.
Uh.
Sure.
Do you guys.
You guys have like a fridge on board?
We do have a fridge.
But there's no lock on it.
That's Wookiee proof.
That.
That's Wookiee territory.
You can go.
He's.
He's apparently.
He's.
He's our resident chef.
Or just.
I don't eat talio.
Your talio will be safe in the fridge.
What do you eat?
I mean.
You must eat a lot.
Big breakfast is.
Is mostly.
Oh.
Well.
You know.
We'll cover that.
We'll cover that later.
Let's just get.
Let's just get to the ship.
Oh.
Okay.
No.
I'm not.
No.
Not trying to.
Stole here at all.
Let's go.
Over to the ship.
All right.
I know.
I know that the ship looks like it's in space.
Oh wait.
No.
This is not.
Zeke.
I know the ship looks like it's in space.
It's not in space.
It's in a jungle.
It sounds like it's in space though.
It sounds like it's on.
It probably shouldn't be on.
Well.
You got to keep the heat up.
Right.
It has to be warm.
So you can eject at any time.
There you go.
Now you're.
Don't say that.
In front of our ex.
All right.
I got to quit saying eject.
I bet you there's not.
I just.
It just opens a window.
I mean that's really all you need.
Right.
To eject out of a.
Do not open a window.
I mean that's automatic ejection.
Right there.
I don't think the window is even open.
Wait.
Are you guys bringing graph?
Are we?
He's kind of a dick.
Well he passed out.
So no.
You're just going to leave him in the forest?
No I think we should bring him.
Yeah.
I don't think we should just leave him in the forest.
Kick him.
Wake him up.
To be honest.
Hey.
Hey Ghost.
I don't think he's going to do very well in the forest.
He's missing a little.
Ghost you're strong.
Just like.
Drag him by his foot.
His real leg.
Not his artificial one.
That's just going to fall off.
I mean.
It's not really an official leg.
As much as it's a peg leg.
Looks to me.
Drag him by the other leg.
Drag him by his real leg.
Not his artificial leg.
Good.
Good idea.
Okay.
So we make it.
Aboard the ship then.
I assume.
Yeah.
Since.
Since we've lost Ghost right now.
Yeah he's.
Yeah you're on board.
I'm assuming Ghost is going to be in the fridge.
Everybody else.
You can.
Go.
Wherever you want.
Oh my god.
Do you guys have a refresher on here?
I haven't had a shower in probably 13 cycles.
Yeah.
Go for it.
All of the clones run towards the refresher and fight over who gets to go first.
You guys are going to have to go like three to a group because I don't think we have that
much fresh water available.
We're very close.
Apparently.
Yes.
Um.
All right.
Sarn goes to the.
To take a nap to refresh some strain.
Yeah.
No.
This would be a good time for you guys to take naps to uh.
Refresh your strain.
Is there two of me?
There shouldn't.
Yes there is.
But there shouldn't be.
So deleted.
Deleted.
Oh.
And there's two sides.
Deleted.
Oh.
You can't see anything?
No.
It's at 98%.
I'll fix it.
Oh.
It's still loading?
I guess.
Um.
I'm going to refresh.
Yeah.
I got everything going.
It's looking cool.
You got it cool in the jungle too.
You might not have had vision.
Perception.
Okay.
No.
We're good.
All right.
No.
I had just said it so I don't know if that was it or not.
All right.
So how many strain does Sarn refresh?
All of it.
All right.
Sarn is good to go.
Okay.
Zero and Mac.
You will recover your strain.
So zero.
All of it.
Yeah.
Why not?
Hooray.
And let's see.
Oh.
Zeke does have some wounds.
I.
All right.
Oh.
Give me some of that sweet sweet stim back action.
No.
Don't waste a stim on that.
I am the sergeant.
Go to the back to tank.
Wait.
You go on a back to tank?
I think so.
No.
You don't.
What's this thing in here?
That thing?
This thing.
That's a blender.
That's not a blender?
It's too big to be a blender.
No.
It's definitely a blender.
Okay.
Well.
I mean.
A back to tank is.
Expensive.
I don't know.
That kind of.
That could be a back to tank.
I told you.
It's a blender.
I don't think so.
I mean.
All right.
Zeke.
Go sit in the blender.
All right.
Nobody turn this on.
We just got to.
Don't.
Don't go in there.
We've got a very small.
You're saying it's hooked up to the computer.
You can.
You got a very small back to tank.
You can only put it in one appendage at a time.
What?
Oh.
What?
Okay.
I'm going to.
Well.
He's taking a shower anyway.
They're all fighting over the shower.
So let them do that.
Hey.
Zeke.
Or Sarge.
Or any of you clones.
That's Dr. Sarge.
No.
I'm just kidding.
Just Sarge.
Yeah.
If.
Do you have any engineers?
Or any of you guys engineers?
Uh.
Yeah.
Jake is an engineer.
Yeah.
I'm an engineer.
It's been a while.
But.
Yeah.
I mean.
I could do it.
Can you.
Can you look at the ship.
And see if there's anything that needs.
Repaired.
Yeah.
I'll go back.
And go bang around.
Oh.
What is this?
A Y.
Y.
T1300?
Yeah.
Ah.
Yes.
It's a freighter.
It's a real hunk of junk.
But I'll see what I can do.
Yeah.
See if like.
If there's any problems with the laser cannon turret.
Yeah.
No.
Anything.
Just show me where.
Yeah.
Just show me the.
Do you want me to take a look at the.
The cannon?
Where's that at?
It's.
You show him where.
Both of them are in the middle of the ship.
All right.
So he goes in and he starts monkeying around.
All right.
Okay.
Other than that.
I don't think anybody else has wounds that need to.
Oh.
And you've.
You flopped down Graf.
Somewhere.
Just throw him on the floor.
And.
Throw him on the.
The.
Loading chamber.
Whatever.
Doesn't matter.
None of this matters.
Okay.
And you guys go to sleep.
Uh.
And.
Wake up.
Or.
Are you guys going to stay on the ship?
Are you going to.
Ride it back to town?
Um.
Maybe ride it back to town tomorrow.
Yeah.
I think we should sleep.
And then ride it back.
Okay.
Tomorrow.
Because I think we took some.
I think the ship took some damage when we were landing.
So it would be great if.
Uh.
Jake.
Could.
Look at that.
Oh.
That's a good idea.
And maybe.
Repair some.
Some problems that have.
Uh.
Happened.
Fix it while we sleep.
Yeah.
All right.
Uh.
Okay.
So.
Anything else before we go to sleep and wake up?
Um.
I don't think so.
I can't think of it.
I don't think so.
No.
I don't think so.
All right.
Good night everyone.
Oh.
Right.
And.
Good night Siren Turbo.
Good night RX.
Good night.
Uh.
No Walton's reference here?
All right.
Walton's?
Yep.
The other Walton's.
Right over.
Right over my.
The other.
My lake.
Goose.
All right.
That's fine.
I mean.
I only know it from the Simpsons reference.
Prince of a reference.
That's a good reference.
Okay.
Uh.
All right.
You guys.
You guys wake up.
Uh.
And you notice.
I'm going to try to skip through most of this.
Oh.
There's two graphs.
That's not good.
All right.
You guys.
You only need one.
You guys wake up and you notice that Jake has been up all night.
Uh.
Fixing the ship.
Uh.
Yeah.
There was a lot more wrong with the ship than I thought.
But I think I got it.
I think I got it ready to go.
Uh.
Awesome.
Yeah.
Uh.
Probably.
Gonna have to sleep now though.
And.
He goes off to sleep.
All right.
And you guys.
Take off.
And head back towards.
Uh.
Seleucami.
Uh.
Which is the planet that you're on.
Uh.
And.
Talis Sama.
Which is the city.
What?
Does the ship fly any better after the clone engineer did his work?
I mean.
It's uh.
You know.
Seems like it's running a little bit.
But I got more of a perk.
And uh.
The growl that it had when we crashed.
Mostly because of the crash.
Uh.
Do.
Do a check.
Uh.
I must not have been awake when you guys crashed.
Oh yeah.
We crashed.
Oh.
No.
You didn't.
It was.
It was a rough landing.
It wasn't.
It was a bit of a crash landing.
But you didn't like.
It wasn't catastrophic.
Like.
You still would have been able to fly if not for Jake.
But he did relieve some of the.
The whole trauma from.
From the.
The crash landing.
Which we appreciate.
Thank you.
We do appreciate it.
So.
It would be.
Easy to have forgotten.
Because I was.
I don't think.
We were here.
What's that?
What is this?
What am I checking?
Oh.
Do.
So.
We did pilot.
Uh.
Let's see.
Do.
Do a pilot check?
Yeah.
It would be a space piloting.
Not interplanetary?
Space or planetary?
It's space because it's a space vehicle.
Gotcha.
That's how it checks.
Oh.
Yeah.
I think in the past.
In the past.
We may not have done it that way.
But.
I did.
Read the rules again.
And that's.
No.
That makes sense.
Yeah.
So like a speed or something would be interplanetary?
Uh.
It would be.
Atmospheric.
Or planetary.
Okay.
Yeah.
I haven't.
I know.
So when the ship's flying on a planet.
It's space.
Right?
As long as the ship is capable of space flight.
Any.
That is.
Exactly.
Any.
Any ship that flies in space is going to be a space piloting check.
No matter where it is.
What was my thingy?
Average.
Average?
No.
Easy.
Nope.
All good.
Oh my god.
Those guys are all fucked up.
I don't have anything going on on my side.
I don't.
I didn't see anything.
Well you failed apparently.
Try rolling it again.
Do easy.
And look in the chat.
If it's not showing up on your screen.
Then just look in the chat.
It's not showing up on the chat.
Okay.
And then you said easy?
Yeah.
I'll just have to tell you if it's not working.
There was an update of Foundry that we did.
So maybe that's it.
Yeah.
I'm not seeing anything on my side.
Okay.
So it succeeded.
It did.
Yeah.
I don't see any of the purple dye.
Can I roll?
Oh no.
You just.
Oh no.
Uh.
You.
The ship is piloting fine.
It feels great.
It feels better than it ever did before.
Jake did a great job.
However.
Jake is exhausted.
Um.
So.
Since he was up all night.
You can expect that he is probably not going to be going with you on any mission.
Fair enough.
For how long?
The next mission.
Got it.
Yeah.
I mean like.
Yeah.
Okay.
All right.
Is there a reason why nothing's showing up on my chat log?
Uh.
I.
It should show you.
You might want to.
You could try refreshing.
Maybe that would help.
I'm going to refresh the page.
All right.
So we.
Where do we go then?
Oh.
There it goes.
That fixed it.
So now you're in there?
Yeah.
Okay.
Good.
I'm in there.
Um.
You guys fly back to.
Um.
Right.
You guys go to.
Telusama.
Which is.
Telusama.
Which is the.
I don't know if it's a capital.
But it's definitely a city.
In.
Selucami.
All right.
I go to.
Zeke.
Who's the.
Sarge.
Right?
Yeah.
Uh.
And.
Was this the planet?
I believe this is the planet.
Where you guys landed.
Yes.
It is.
Um.
I will remind you.
Because I.
Oh.
Is this the diplomat stuff?
Yes.
This.
This is the diplomat stuff.
So.
Oh shit.
You guys.
You guys are approaching.
You're approaching the Sukumai spaceport.
And.
Um.
Over the radio.
You hear.
Uh.
Why.
Why T.
Please.
Please identify yourself.
Mac.
This is.
You're the diplomat.
I mean.
You guys are on the same ship.
You don't have to.
But you can.
Okay.
So I just.
I just push a button on the side there.
To talk to them.
So.
So they can't hear me.
Outside.
Like Mac.
Remember.
You're a diplomat.
So.
Try to play that cool.
Why.
T.
Thirteen hundred.
Please.
Please identify yourself.
Yes.
This is the Kahuna.
Kahuna wave.
We are transporting.
The diplomat.
Max.
Saint.
Skyblade.
To the.
Uh.
To the spaceport.
Oh.
Yes.
Kahuna.
Kahuna wave.
You were here earlier.
Yes.
Oh.
Yes.
Uh.
Welcome diplomat.
Again.
Uh.
We don't have a.
Spot.
A diplomat spot for you.
I hope that is okay.
We apologize.
I'll let it pass this time.
Okay.
Well.
Uh.
Welcome.
Welcome to tell the same.
Saint.
Sky.
Uh.
Diplomat.
Saint Skyblade.
Godspeed.
They give you.
They give you a landing.
A landing pad.
All right.
While we're landing.
I want to look at Zeke and say.
Do any of these landing bases seem familiar.
As to the ship that they're going to.
hijack.
Oh.
No.
I can take you to.
To the ship.
And.
Okay.
He.
It.
It's in the landing bay.
Six.
Four.
Three.
B.
Oh.
You remember.
Now.
You remember.
When I asked him.
Uh.
It came back to him.
He did tell you.
But.
Oh.
No.
He just said he's going to have to look it up.
No.
He didn't know the name of it.
That he would have to look it up.
But.
Regardless.
Okay.
So.
It was a failure.
It was a.
So.
We're clear.
It was a failure of improvisation.
Zeke knows.
Okay.
All right.
Uh.
Yes.
So.
We're looking for the Shandrilla dispatch.
That's the name of the ship.
And it's in six four.
What did I say?
Six four.
Three.
B.
C.
Uh.
The landing.
Landing coordinates.
Yes.
Uh.
No.
That's.
That's way too complicated.
Let's just say it's in landing bay delta.
Okay.
Yeah.
Greek.
Yes.
Greek.
All right.
Yes.
The ancient.
Ancient Greeks.
Of the.
So I say we split up.
Right now.
To.
Zeke.
Who's your best pilot?
Uh.
My best pilot would probably be Jake.
Shit.
No.
Tojo can.
Can pilot just fine.
Okay.
Aye aye captain.
He says.
So me.
Tojo.
And ghost.
And.
Maybe.
I can't remember the name of the other clones.
What is Rafe?
Okay.
Me.
Ghost.
Rafe.
And Tojo.
Should go to this other ship.
Ghost Rafe.
Rafe.
And Tojo.
I'd rather stay with.
A clone.
Can I have a clone?
I don't really like you commanding my clones around.
You got Jake.
No.
Jake's staying on the ship.
He's sleeping.
Yeah.
So it's.
It's Sarn Turbo.
Okay.
Zeke.
That's me.
Yeah.
Uh.
Rafe.
Okay.
And ghost.
What's Tojo doing?
Oh yeah.
No no.
Tojo.
It's Zeke.
Tojo.
Sarn Turbo.
So you're taking all the clones?
No.
There's three of us.
Yes.
Okay.
Jake will stay on the ship.
This is going great.
Jake will stay on the ship.
Okay.
Right.
What is your plan?
Why don't you just tell us the plan and we'll divvy up.
All right.
We'll divvy up the plan.
Then.
The ones who aren't staying on the ship go to the other ship.
To be taken away.
Okay.
So some people.
To pilot that ship.
Some people are getting on the ship.
Some people are staying here.
Yes.
Uh.
Okay.
Uh.
You have a pilot.
Yes.
So Mac is going to stay on the ship.
Okay.
Mac.
You're going to stay here.
Mac.
You're going to stay here on the ship.
Yep.
The clones.
We're going to go with Sarn.
The clones and Ghost.
And.
Yes.
Okay.
We will go.
And board the other ship.
Yes.
I don't think we should split the party.
Well.
We need more people.
On that other ship.
For the ambush.
Okay.
So we'll all go.
On.
The ship.
And.
And just.
All right.
You guys talk about.
The plan that you want to do.
Okay.
All right.
What do you guys want to do then?
I think we should all get on the ship.
But we need someone to pilot.
The Kahuna.
Oh.
Tojo.
You want to leave Tojo.
Mac.
I'm very surprised at this.
What about Rx?
Yeah.
What about Rx?
No.
I'm very surprised that Mac is willing to leave.
It is.
It is uncharacteristic.
Quote unquote.
His ship.
To be piloted by someone else.
Okay.
Fine.
I don't know what I'm supposed to do.
No.
You're fine.
If you want to.
If you want to come with it.
It's fine.
It's just very uncharacteristic of Mac.
Okay.
Whatever.
Why do you need somebody in this ship?
To pilot and meet us after we get docked and boarded by the Libertarian game to hijack us?
I think that's something Rx can handle.
Okay.
Or I'll say that out of character.
I think that's something Rx can handle.
Okay.
I would recommend you guys go together as a party.
If you want to leave a clone or two on the ship.
That's kind of strange.
But still.
You could do that.
I think all three of you should try and board.
I guess I can handle the ship while you enjoy the bloodbath.
Just autopilot.
You just try.
Just fly around in circles until I call you.
I miss the bloodshed.
Do not crash my ship.
Just fly around in circles.
Can you handle that?
Shut up, meat bag.
I can fly a ship in circles.
All right, bald head.
All right.
Then us three and all the clones except for Tojo.
Just in case a shit happens.
Well, isn't Jake?
Didn't you say he has a sleeping?
Yeah, but he's tired.
He's tired.
So he doesn't count.
No.
What is a meat bag?
It's not quite a bag.
It's not quite meat.
No, I've seen this before.
These life form hating droids.
They call humans meat bags.
They think it's funny.
Don't you kind of call them clankers.
I call them clankers.
I really wish I would have remembered that.
They're clankers.
They call them meat bags.
Thank you for reminding me.
All right, so Zeke, lead all of us to the ship.
All right.
And Tojo, you stay here.
You man the cannons.
Just in case things get hairy.
Aye, aye, Captain.
That's how Tojo talks.
All right.
Rafe, Jake.
No, Jake, you're sleeping.
Rafe and I guess that's it, Rafe.
Rafe, Tojo, and Zeke.
Oh, and Oak.
We should probably bring him.
I can just slap Jake if you want.
No, let him sleep.
He did a lot of work.
Right.
I do not want to have to flip another dark side point.
What?
Oh.
Okay.
All right.
It was a dark side point that he was so tired from fixing this.
Oh, I see.
All right.
So, Zeke, lead us to the other ship.
All right.
Let's go.
You guys follow.
To Delta.
Yes.
Famous Greek letter in Star Wars.
And he takes you over to the landing bay.
You guys are not wanted on Telesamer, right?
So, nobody's looking for you.
You can just walk normally.
And you guys go over to the landing bay and you see the ship in there.
It's a freighter.
It kind of looks like, what's the name of the ship from the Mandalorian?
The Jinjarin ship?
That's a good question.
Oh, shit.
The Arrow something?
The Razor's Edge.
Razorback.
Yeah.
Razor's Edge.
Not Razorback.
That's a pig.
I'm pretty sure it was the Razorback.
I think the Razor's Edge is an ECGC album.
I am 100%.
Razorback is a racing ship from the Expanse.
Oh, maybe that's why I'm getting confused.
It's the Razor's Edge.
Okay.
So, Razor...
No, you're all wrong.
It's the Razor Crest.
Yeah.
We...
Razor's Edge was closer.
I agree.
Razorback was closer.
Well, that's a weird argument to have.
It's an ST-70 assault ship.
Okay.
It's not an assault ship.
It's more of a freighter.
It just kind of looks like that, but bigger.
It's like...
Okay.
It's like a big minivan of spaceships.
It doesn't really help anything.
By saying it looks like the Razor Crest, you mean it just has kind of like two Coke can engines?
Yes, exactly.
But then like a big volume.
That center section.
Yeah.
And you do see people filing in and out loading cargo onto it.
There's not a lot...
The people that are loading in and out are not the uniformed people from the spaceport.
They are other professionals, but different from the people that work at the spaceport.
And you guys are sitting a little bit far away from it so that no one at the landing bay can see you.
And Zeke says, you got like goggles or something?
We could take a look at this.
Yeah.
I toss in my hunted goggles.
All right.
And he looks at the hunt...
Make sure you give them back.
No, I'll give them back over my dead body.
And he's looking over...
Bullshit!
Nothing.
And he said, no, that's it.
That's the Centrilla dispatch.
And he hands it over to you to take a look at it.
I can go, yes.
The Centrilla dispatch.
Okay.
Good.
All right.
Advert.
So, we're going to need a way to get on that ship.
How are we going to get on that ship?
I guess we could sneak on it.
I don't know.
What do you think?
Do you think...
There's some clipboards over there.
We could just grab those clipboards and, like, walk on, I think.
Oh.
I like that idea.
Brilliant.
Yes.
We could act like we're supervisors.
Right.
It's just like a...
What did you call it?
A diplomat.
I should know that.
I've protected diplomats my whole career.
Yes.
Yes, we should just be behind us.
One of us needs to look more official.
Wait.
What diplomat were you protecting in the crater?
Well, no.
Okay.
You're right.
You got me.
Not my whole career, although technically my career is over.
But, yes.
You're right.
Ouch.
And he gets a little sad.
He says, okay.
Diplomat.
I think you get a clipboard.
All right?
And we will follow you with, you know,
maybe, Wookiee, you'll carry something big
and make it look like your staff.
And you'll look like you're leading us on,
but you'll just get us through.
Okay.
Not a good plan.
Diplomat.
Yay?
Nay?
What do you think?
Do it.
Okay.
All right.
So, so, so, so, Matt grabs, he sees a cart going by him just coincidentally and grabs a clipboard
off of it and starts leading you guys ahead.
And he's naturally taking the lead just because he, I don't know, he's just full of bluster.
And so he's, he's walking ahead just like sort of nodding to people and like walking through.
And you guys are kind of lowering your heads and following.
I think also, Ghost, you, you picked up something big to make it look like you're just a grunt carrying stuff.
And you walk up to the ship and one of the professionals there, they're, they're not, it's not quite a suit.
It's like a, it's like a dressy, fancy, like jumpsuit, spacesuit.
He says, you there, you trying to get on the ship?
Yes, I have important business on that ship.
You do?
Yeah.
What kind of business?
I'm a diplomat.
So diplomatic business.
A diplomat?
I didn't know we were taking a diplomat.
Yes, you are.
I'm not on the schedule?
No, you're not on the schedule.
That's, that's very odd.
I find that very, very odd.
It's written down on my, on my clipboard.
What does yours say?
Mine says we're just hauling stuff.
Well, I'm a diplomat and I'm here to diplomatically oversee what you're doing with that stuff.
Okay.
That will be a deception.
More, I, yeah, I think it's more deception than charm.
Or were you trying to charm?
No, I'm not being charming.
I am, I am.
At the same time.
At the same time as Mac is talking to these, these people.
You have a new one narrating?
No, it's on the back.
I know, but it's pretty good.
Narrating's a good, a good, a good card to have.
Yeah.
So while Mac is trying to, to talk his way onto the ship.
Okay.
I just kind of follow that cart that we were next to that he took the clipboard off of.
Yeah.
And like stealthily sneak with it.
Like I'm supposed to be escorting this crate.
Or this.
Okay.
So effectively Sarn is giving, or not Sarn, Mac is giving you a distraction.
Yeah.
Okay.
So that would be an average stealth check.
With a boost?
Yes.
Two boosts.
You're right.
Oh, because you had a boost because of your.
Two boosts.
Yeah.
So who rolls first?
Oh, I guess Sarn.
I failed.
But I got a triumph.
All right.
What's, what's your triumph?
And you have, you have quite a few advantages.
Is that they, they saw me like trying to lead this crate and they're a little suspicious,
but they're like, no, you, that, that's why that looks like they're in charge.
They know what they're doing.
So they just kind of like turn a blind eye, but they're suspicious of the crate.
Well, that would give you a success.
I think, I think maybe I'll posit this.
What, what do you think about if, um, yes, on you looking important, but they phone, but,
but, but, but somehow it helps Mac.
Okay.
How, how would you think it would help Mac with his check?
Maybe, maybe you pick up, they see you and say, you there, you're trying to sneak on the
ship.
And then you come up with some kind of lie that helps sell the diplomat line.
No, I'm not trying to sneak aboard the ship.
The diplomat over the diplomat St. Skyblade over there has ordered me to take this onto the ship.
Yeah.
That's my man.
He's doing my work.
What are you doing?
And he ain't been woke up.
I woke up to start.
Have you secured the perimeter?
That's my, what?
These are my muscles.
Your, your muscles.
Yeah.
Okay.
My man.
All right.
I'll give you a boost on your, uh, choose charm or deception.
However you want.
I'm choosing deception.
Are you better at deception?
I think so.
Oh, okay.
Yeah.
Because you just upgraded your charm.
I didn't remember.
I'm pretty sure my deception's higher than my charm.
Okay.
Let's double check it.
I wouldn't be surprised either way.
Yeah.
I'm a level, I'm a level three deceptor.
Oh, dear.
And you get a boost.
And a boost for whatever the hell Sarm is doing.
Average difficulty?
Yeah.
Why not?
Engage.
Triumphs.
We're getting a lot of triumphs lately.
I know.
Triumph.
The dog.
And as you say that, he hears over the chatter something over.
Well, I mean, do you have something else you want to do with the Triumph?
Uh, there's no question.
And I want him to be a little bit intimidated by, by now that he's realized he's speaking to
a prominent diplomat.
Sorry.
And have him bring snacks.
I mean, I have a Wookiee behind me.
A white one.
You need, you need snacks.
I'm sorry, St. Skyblade.
If there's anything that we can do for you, please, please.
Let us, let us know.
Well, you didn't tell him what your name was.
Did you?
Yeah, I did.
Oh, okay.
Diplom, Mr. Sir, Your Highness.
I don't really know how to.
St. Skyblade.
Yes, it's very fine.
Snacks for the Wookiee, please.
And I walk away.
What is it?
What does a Wookiee eat?
Snacks.
And you see him snap and like, and hit into his radio and say, snacks.
Bring him some snacks.
And I had to do the ship.
Okay.
I don't think that like, you don't have any strain, do you?
Me?
Oh, yeah, Ghost.
You had one strain.
Although I guess you would have lost the strain when you slept.
I would have given you a relief of strain for the snacks.
So, let's just say I did that.
Take negative strain.
No.
You have like 12 strain.
Like, we don't ever get close on the strain for you passing out.
But I have 10 strain.
Strain threshold.
Okay.
You guys board the ship.
I know it'll be a little bit early, but I think I'm going to end it there.
Actually, I was good.
I requested anyway.
I'm falling asleep.
Okay.
Hi, Craig.
And we'll end it there so I can prepare.
Because you guys went a different direction than I was expecting.
