[SPEAKER_08]: Welcome to the Dark Star Adventurecast with the stars are cold, the void is endless, and dangers lurk in every shadow.
[SPEAKER_08]: Out here, trust is a gamble, and survival is never guaranteed.
[SPEAKER_08]: On tonight's Adventurecast?
[SPEAKER_06]: We got one heavily armed man, and one woman with very heavy arms.
[SPEAKER_01]: Eat shit!
[SPEAKER_07]: Ah, yeah I know, is there anybody having these snacks?
[SPEAKER_03]: You're going to be cleaning the train so fast it'll make you a fucking headspane.
[SPEAKER_08]: So sit back and enjoy.
[SPEAKER_08]: This is the Darkstar Adventurecast.
[SPEAKER_04]: Hey, we are man!
[SPEAKER_04]: Let's go!
[SPEAKER_04]: We're running the podcast that we started as a bunch of friends.
[SPEAKER_08]: That's it.
[SPEAKER_08]: Okay, everyone, welcome back to Darkstar Adventures.
[SPEAKER_08]: Previously, you were helping Froggy DJ Voice of the Wastes.
[SPEAKER_08]: Repair is radio tower because you wanted to attempt to use his tower to triangulate the position of your ship.
[SPEAKER_08]: And after your rolls from last time and taking a couple of days to do that at the beginning of this session, you have succeeded at that.
[SPEAKER_08]: So you've fixed the generator.
[SPEAKER_08]: The radio tower is now pumping out that good signal and Felix, you're able to very easily hook into that system and using the other antennas that are placed throughout Wafisa, paying around and detect the signal from your ship.
[SPEAKER_07]: All right.
[SPEAKER_07]: Well, we got a beat on it.
[SPEAKER_07]: We know it's there for sure.
[SPEAKER_07]: Well done, Felix.
[SPEAKER_01]: Felix.
[SPEAKER_07]: Wait, you guys are leaving.
[SPEAKER_07]: All right, froggy.
[SPEAKER_06]: We got stuff we need to take care of.
[SPEAKER_08]: Yeah, but like, I thought we were all like friends.
[SPEAKER_06]: Well sure, but you know, we're not from around here.
[SPEAKER_06]: So you stay here and you become the new voice of the waste and we're going to go get our ship and live our lives.
[SPEAKER_06]: And you come back and you get me, right?
[SPEAKER_03]: of Coorthy J. Froggy, but I'm going to tell you, you're not just our friend.
[SPEAKER_03]: You're a comrade.
[SPEAKER_07]: I'm your comrade.
[SPEAKER_07]: Comrade Norms and listen, listen, froggy, the generator will be fine for a long time.
[SPEAKER_07]: Don't touch it.
[SPEAKER_07]: Okay, I saw what you did.
[SPEAKER_07]: Just don't touch it.
[SPEAKER_07]: Okay, and we find just refuel it when you need to but don't touch it.
[SPEAKER_07]: Okay, and then you'll come back and you'll get me.
[SPEAKER_01]: You're doing good stuff for the people out here, froggy, and they need you a lot.
[SPEAKER_08]: It sounds like you're knocking to come back and get me and I'm starting to get worried about that.
[SPEAKER_08]: Yeah, you just keep holding on to that hope.
[SPEAKER_08]: We come back and get you then who's going to be the voice of the waste.
[SPEAKER_08]: I don't want to be the voice of the Wastes.
[SPEAKER_08]: Well, I thought I did, but now it's sort of like I have friends, and that's kind of cool.
[SPEAKER_08]: Ah.
[SPEAKER_06]: What if I told you that our friendship was contingent on you being the voice of the Wastes?
[SPEAKER_08]: That's it.
[SPEAKER_08]: And at that moment, a tingling noise resounds throughout the room.
[SPEAKER_08]: You look down to see an odd spherical container has bounced in through to the window.
[SPEAKER_08]: Everyone rules saving through a vision.
[SPEAKER_08]: Oh God.
[SPEAKER_08]: Oh no!
[SPEAKER_08]: Go on, failure, failure, failure, failure, failure, failure, failure, failure, failure, failure, failure, failure, failure, failure, failure, failure, failure, failure, failure, failure, failure, failure, failure, failure, failure, failure, failure, failure, failure, failure, failure, failure, failure, failure, failure, failure, failure, failure, failure, failure, failure, failure, failure, failure, failure, failure, failure, failure, failure, failure, failure, failure, failure, failure, failure, failure, failure, failure, failure, failure, failure, failure, failure, failure, failure, failure, failure, failure, failure, failure, failure, failure, failure, failure, failure, failure, failure, failure, failure, failure, failure, failure, failure, failure, failure, failure, failure, failure, failure, failure, failure, failure, failure, failure, failure, failure, failure, failure, failure, failure, failure, failure, failure, failure, failure, failure, failure, failure
[SPEAKER_08]: Barely, through the DIN, and the fire that has been beset upon your eyes, you see two shadowy forms coming through the doorway, the silhouettes of long rifles in their hands.
[SPEAKER_08]: There's shouting commands of you, but you can't quite make them out.
[SPEAKER_08]: You can't move.
[SPEAKER_08]: You can't think through the DIN.
[SPEAKER_08]: You eventually hear one of them say.
[SPEAKER_04]: Sound the ground.
[SPEAKER_04]: Put your hands on your head.
[SPEAKER_04]: Hands on your head.
[SPEAKER_04]: Get on your bellies.
[SPEAKER_07]: I do that.
[SPEAKER_07]: I'm already on the ground.
[SPEAKER_07]: I remain on the ground in a prone position.
[SPEAKER_01]: I also do that because, you know, oh God.
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, I go to the ground, but I'm not resist a little bit.
[SPEAKER_03]: How do you resist?
[SPEAKER_03]: I look sternly at them and don't make it easy for me to cuff me.
[SPEAKER_08]: You think that you're looking sternly at them but you're like squinting real hard from the flashbang that just destroys your octo nerves, octo nerves, octo nerves, octo nerves and you're all laying on your ground on your bellies like a bunch of stuck pigs and your eyes and your ears are slowly coming back.
[SPEAKER_08]: Felix your hands are being bound behind your back and you hear another guy back by the doorway everyone hears this guy speak into a radio and say yeah we've got five bring back up Felix your hands are now bound thorn they're starting to work on your hands zip tie feels like
[SPEAKER_06]: I swore I would not go back to prison.
[SPEAKER_06]: I say, begrudgingly, to my comrades, but I don't do anything about it.
[SPEAKER_06]: I mean, those guys have guns and I have a still freshly healed wound from the last time that I got shot.
[SPEAKER_06]: So I'm not looking to cause any trouble in that department.
[SPEAKER_08]: Okay.
[SPEAKER_08]: So they bind you up and then you hear, yo, I take it down the ground, cut down the ground.
[SPEAKER_08]: And everyone's eyes and ears have now cleared and you look up
[SPEAKER_08]: He's down the ground, down the ground!
[SPEAKER_08]: And all at once, he makes a dash for it.
[SPEAKER_08]: How to door the DJ booth, vaulting over your bodies, and reaching the door to the roof.
[SPEAKER_08]: He swings it open, but the soldiers are faster.
[SPEAKER_08]: The crack of the gun, the bullet piercing his breast.
[SPEAKER_08]: He slumps against the wall.
[SPEAKER_08]: He's still alive, but he's choking.
[SPEAKER_08]: He's gasping for breath.
[SPEAKER_08]: Broggyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy
[SPEAKER_08]: The man gets back on the radio, scratch that we've got four for for retrieval, or are you guys?
[SPEAKER_08]: What do you want with us?
[SPEAKER_08]: The man that was tying up Thorne's hands comes back over to you.
[SPEAKER_08]: This gives you a swips slap across the face.
[SPEAKER_08]: We'll ask the questions.
[SPEAKER_08]: He's.
[SPEAKER_08]: When he does that, you spot a very familiar looking insignia on his shoulder, OmniTek, the very company that you work with.
[SPEAKER_08]: Hey, wait a second.
[SPEAKER_08]: You guys are with Omni?
[SPEAKER_08]: So are we?
[SPEAKER_08]: We're out in your own omission.
[SPEAKER_08]: Yeah, you're with Omni the same way that applies with shit.
[SPEAKER_08]: Matt, what do you mean by that?
[SPEAKER_08]: He walks over to Haley.
[SPEAKER_08]: Haley, he pulls your arms behind your back to start zip tying you.
[SPEAKER_01]: No, we're with OmniTek.
[SPEAKER_01]: We're here to get an OmniTek shit.
[SPEAKER_01]: What's your mission?
[SPEAKER_08]: To stop you from getting an OmniTek ship.
[SPEAKER_08]: Dirty thieves.
[SPEAKER_01]: Dirty thief.
[SPEAKER_01]: What?
[SPEAKER_08]: Whoa, whoa, whoa.
[SPEAKER_08]: What does that supposed to mean?
[SPEAKER_01]: You go to a you get your orders from.
[SPEAKER_01]: Do you know who we are?
[SPEAKER_08]: I think so.
[SPEAKER_08]: Nobody's still a ship.
[SPEAKER_08]: And he finishes zip tying your arms together.
[SPEAKER_08]: He walks over to Robert Ross and pulls your arms behind your back.
[SPEAKER_03]: Now, I don't know if you guys are familiar with them, who we are.
[SPEAKER_03]: What, what, what, what division are you, y'all with?
[SPEAKER_03]: You ever heard a blackout one?
[SPEAKER_03]: Nope.
[SPEAKER_08]: He pulls out a first-of-time tie for you.
[SPEAKER_03]: Well, before you do that, I would radio your higher-ups, give them a call sign, make sure that what you're doing is what you're supposed to be doing because you're going to be cleaning the train so fast, it'll make you a fucking headspin.
[SPEAKER_08]: He gives you a swift elbow to the back of the head, bouncing your forehead against the ground.
[SPEAKER_08]: And he says, I know who you are.
[SPEAKER_08]: That one's going to cost you.
[SPEAKER_03]: Oh yeah.
[SPEAKER_03]: How much?
[SPEAKER_03]: We'll see.
[SPEAKER_03]: We're racking up a tab here.
[SPEAKER_03]: What you're going to do next, little kid?
[SPEAKER_08]: He flips you around, having not zip tied your hand yet.
[SPEAKER_08]: And he grabbed you around the collar.
[SPEAKER_08]: He says, listen old man, I do this as a job.
[SPEAKER_08]: You don't know who you're fucking with.
[SPEAKER_03]: Then tell me, I heard your call sign on you.
[SPEAKER_08]: My call sign's confidential.
[SPEAKER_08]: Top secret.
[SPEAKER_03]: Mm-hmm.
[SPEAKER_03]: That sounds a little like a stolen valor to me.
[SPEAKER_08]: He pushes you back down to the ground and he pulls out a plazbook.
[SPEAKER_08]: Maybe we're just going to bring back three.
[SPEAKER_08]: I think some of these guys need to pay.
[SPEAKER_08]: Pay a little bit more than what Veradine is going to do to them.
[SPEAKER_08]: Veradine, what the hell?
[SPEAKER_01]: What does Veridine want with our Omnitech mission?
[SPEAKER_08]: Well, with risk assessment, all right?
[SPEAKER_08]: Well, with damage control, you stole a ship and you're all resources of Omnitech and you're on the lamb that simply does not do.
[SPEAKER_08]: But maybe we'll only got three of you back.
[SPEAKER_08]: Maybe this fourth one, this old man, didn't quite make it and he gets real close to you Robert Ross and presses the gun to your chest.
[SPEAKER_01]: Am I in a position where I can like knock this guy over somehow?
[SPEAKER_08]: your hands are tied behind your back and you're on your belly, but your legs are free.
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, can I like kick him in his feet or shins?
[SPEAKER_08]: Yeah, absolutely, you can try.
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, I don't like this.
[SPEAKER_01]: Like Robert, you're important to me.
[SPEAKER_01]: This is awful.
[SPEAKER_01]: We do not like these people.
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, so I kick the guy in his shins.
[SPEAKER_08]: Okay, yeah, roll to hit.
[SPEAKER_01]: Eat shit!
[SPEAKER_08]: You hit with a 21, and because you are an unarmed specialist, you do massive damage.
[SPEAKER_08]: Oh my god.
[SPEAKER_08]: Fuck him up.
[SPEAKER_08]: You rolled max damage for 10.
[SPEAKER_08]: You shattered the poor man's humor in half.
[SPEAKER_08]: Not only do you kick his legs out from under him, you practically kick his legs off of him.
[SPEAKER_08]: Eat crumbles to the ground.
[SPEAKER_08]: The gun falling from his grasp.
[SPEAKER_08]: The other guy brings his rifle up the bear and with that, we will roll initiative.
[SPEAKER_01]: Scott, who is omni-tech hiring these days?
[SPEAKER_08]: I'm just going to try to wiggle it to a corner as fast as I can.
[SPEAKER_08]: Hey, Lee, you had a surprise attack and now you also won the initiative.
[SPEAKER_08]: So you kicked this guy's legs, breaking his femur.
[SPEAKER_08]: He screams an agony as he falls to the ground.
[SPEAKER_08]: The other soldier runs up to you, drawing his rifle up.
[SPEAKER_08]: What would you like to do?
[SPEAKER_01]: I like my hands are still tied.
[SPEAKER_01]: I think I'm rolling over.
[SPEAKER_01]: I'm gonna try to do all I have to work with is my hat right now in my legs.
[SPEAKER_01]: So, can I head bottom?
[SPEAKER_08]: Yeah, so you spring to your feet, you jam your head into his nose on the way up.
[SPEAKER_01]: This is my day.
[SPEAKER_08]: Yeah, it's almost gone.
[SPEAKER_04]: Eight points of damage.
[SPEAKER_04]: You guys are really first level.
[SPEAKER_04]: It's like that.
[SPEAKER_08]: on that is done as quickly as it started.
[SPEAKER_01]: Awesome.
[SPEAKER_06]: Yes, speaking, speaking of froggy though.
[SPEAKER_01]: I'll, oh my god, froggy.
[SPEAKER_01]: Are you okay?
[SPEAKER_01]: No.
[SPEAKER_00]: I was giving it a call.
[SPEAKER_00]: I have a, I have a Lazarus fat.
[SPEAKER_00]: It's a rifle kit, a Lazarus patch.
[SPEAKER_00]: Let me, let me see if I can stabilize you at least.
[SPEAKER_07]: You can, your hands are bound.
[SPEAKER_00]: Oh, God.
[SPEAKER_00]: Someone, I have a survival kit in my bag.
[SPEAKER_03]: Robert, would you give her a hand?
[SPEAKER_03]: I run over, grab that survival Lazarus pack and try to apply it to a DJ froggy.
[SPEAKER_03]: This cook is I can't.
[SPEAKER_08]: So you can roll an intelligence heel or a dexterity heel skill.
[SPEAKER_03]: Oh, I'm going to be all nimble and use the fastest reflexes that I can to see if I can fix DJ froggy.
[SPEAKER_08]: for a 10, okay?
[SPEAKER_08]: So even though, and good thing you roll the 10, because you had a minus three in the difficult six.
[SPEAKER_08]: And the reason you had a minus three for each round after the first is a minus one penalty to the skill check when applying a Lazarus patch.
[SPEAKER_08]: There's been three rounds since you got shot.
[SPEAKER_08]: You apply the Lazarus patch, and he breathes a sigh of relief and falls unconscious.
[SPEAKER_07]: Oh my god, I don't really care if he's still alive.
[SPEAKER_07]: Can you want to hide me?
[SPEAKER_07]: And I think these guys are still alive.
[SPEAKER_07]: And I'm pretty sure they radiated for backup.
[SPEAKER_03]: I don't know.
[SPEAKER_03]: I feel like Haley kicked this one dude skull into the back of his teeth.
[SPEAKER_08]: The other guy is whimpering and holding his leg, but otherwise not talking or screaming or anything like that.
[SPEAKER_03]: I run over and try to unrestrained Haley first so that she can, you know.
[SPEAKER_08]: Exactly.
[SPEAKER_08]: Okay, so you release Haley and then you snip everyone's bonds.
[SPEAKER_06]: As soon as thorns bindings are cut, he gets up and grabs one of those rifles that fell on the ground and points it at the fall in guys just so that we have the upper hand in the situation.
[SPEAKER_07]: And the first thing that feels so is I grabbed the data pad that the one guy was talking on and begin looking to see if I can get an access to it to figure out what's going on.
[SPEAKER_07]: So it's more like a radio.
[SPEAKER_07]: He had like attached to his.
[SPEAKER_07]: Oh, a handler.
[SPEAKER_07]: All right.
[SPEAKER_07]: They have any.
[SPEAKER_07]: All right.
[SPEAKER_07]: Well, I want to look, I want to look him over there to see if they have any electronic equipment on them that I could use to like they do.
[SPEAKER_07]: They both have an arm band with a digital display.
[SPEAKER_07]: Okay.
[SPEAKER_07]: I want to grab that and start analyzing that to see if I can gain access to it.
[SPEAKER_08]: Okay, all four of your pictures are on a dossier and it says quite clearly that this is a risk management operation for OmniTac as ordered by parent company Veridine to reclaim the stolen ship and assess the severity of the broken contracts.
[SPEAKER_08]: Yeah, this is not good.
[SPEAKER_07]: They're saying we broke our contract.
[SPEAKER_01]: We've been doing our mission this whole time.
[SPEAKER_07]: Yeah, I know.
[SPEAKER_07]: Yeah, what kind of... There was a time limit on our mission.
[SPEAKER_07]: What's going on here?
[SPEAKER_07]: I knew you could never trust a Corpo.
[SPEAKER_03]: Are y'all able to glean any extra data off of that data pad Felix, can you tap into the sources coming from?
[SPEAKER_07]: Now, let's take that's pretty much it.
[SPEAKER_07]: It's pretty much locked in on that.
[SPEAKER_03]: Damn, it's just the only group where we got to start moving.
[SPEAKER_07]: We heard him radio in, Robert.
[SPEAKER_07]: We got to go.
[SPEAKER_07]: We got to go now.
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, that's what I'm saying.
[SPEAKER_08]: So you guys are leaving the radio station, you guys are just leaving Froggy there.
[SPEAKER_06]: No, I think that on the way out the door, like everyone's like, hey, we got to get out of here, you know.
[SPEAKER_06]: I hate to say it, but I feel like Thorne is going to just sling this rifle and just grab the unconscious froggy and bring him with us without even thinking.
[SPEAKER_01]: Thorn, you can't lift that guy up.
[SPEAKER_01]: I'll just give him to me.
[SPEAKER_01]: And I just throw him over my shoulder to get to the Aurora.
[SPEAKER_03]: Thorn, you're really, you're going to mess up.
[SPEAKER_03]: He's bleeding so bad.
[SPEAKER_03]: What do you think that's going to do with the value of our car?
[SPEAKER_08]: And we have like a tarp or something.
[SPEAKER_08]: We've damn well borrowed.
[SPEAKER_08]: We do, actually.
[SPEAKER_08]: Yeah, you guys specifically got a tarp at one point.
[SPEAKER_08]: Yeah, the car was covered by a tarp.
[SPEAKER_08]: It was over the car, yeah.
[SPEAKER_08]: Uh, so you make your way to the Aurora, uh, which is covered by the tarp that you found it in, you guys recovered it and you put the tarp down to the back seat and you throw frog in.
[SPEAKER_06]: This thing barely seats for, so with froggy, it's going to be a tight ride, but I couldn't leave him.
[SPEAKER_03]: A Robert, can you drive?
[SPEAKER_03]: I mean, I think I can handle it.
[SPEAKER_03]: I've done a fair bit of driving in my, my day.
[SPEAKER_03]: Now, where are we here in the mall?
[SPEAKER_03]: Are we going in the black farmer?
[SPEAKER_03]: Oh, yeah.
[SPEAKER_03]: Head that direction.
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_01]: Gotta get off this place.
[SPEAKER_07]: Thorne, you still got that communicator that boss gave us?
[SPEAKER_07]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_07]: All right.
[SPEAKER_07]: We got a collar, but we got to, like, not let her know that Omnitek is after us now.
[SPEAKER_07]: All right.
[SPEAKER_07]: But we got to find out more about black harbor.
[SPEAKER_06]: All right.
[SPEAKER_06]: I pull out the, the communicator.
[SPEAKER_06]: And, uh, I give the keys to Robert.
[SPEAKER_06]: And, because, you know, you don't want to be using your hands and talking on the phone while you're also operating a motor vehicle.
[SPEAKER_08]: a plutonium powered vehicle.
[SPEAKER_06]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_03]: I grabbed the keys.
[SPEAKER_03]: Give me a little wink.
[SPEAKER_03]: Let them know.
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, you get a newsback.
[SPEAKER_06]: It just keep an under 9,000 FPMs there, buddy.
[SPEAKER_06]: What will we do when you hit the gas as hard as I can?
[SPEAKER_02]: What will we do?
[SPEAKER_08]: And you're on your way to Black Harbor.
[SPEAKER_08]: At the same time, you are calling Dr. Boston the radio.
[SPEAKER_06]: Yeah, so I put it on the appropriate channel and I, you know, radio it into her.
[SPEAKER_06]: And I just essentially call out the Dr. Boston.
[SPEAKER_06]: Have a read.
[SPEAKER_06]: This is Thorne.
[SPEAKER_08]: Yes, this is Dr. Voss, have you gotten the ship back?
[SPEAKER_06]: We are in route to picking up the ship now.
[SPEAKER_06]: We ran into a slight complication that means that time is now a factor.
[SPEAKER_06]: I just wanted to know from you what we should expect when we get to Black Harbor.
[SPEAKER_08]: Well, I'm sending an aerial map taken from before the collapse of Wapisa to Felix's data pad now.
[SPEAKER_08]: that under control of the guardians of the great work.
[SPEAKER_08]: So it's mostly full of fisher folk and farmers who essentially live in squalor.
[SPEAKER_08]: And the military is a complete control of them and it's extracting their wealth via taxes or just by taking their goods to try to fund their impossible dream of restoring what he said to its glory, which is obviously never going to happen this place had done for.
[SPEAKER_08]: There's some important areas on there, so let's take a look at the map to see that there's some docks, there's the market, there's the Rusty Arts, which is just a fake junkyard, there's the outer farms, which is where they grow the strange purple flower, which is used in drums for medicinal purposes, and there's a course to Cardi and Compound, which takes up about half of the total land mass of black harbor.
[SPEAKER_08]: Inside the compound is an airfield, and I'm assuming that airfield is your ship.
[SPEAKER_08]: There are three gates to get in.
[SPEAKER_08]: On the west side, the south side and on the east side of Black Harbor, going into the east gate would bring you straight to the airfield, but it's probably the most heavily guarded by the Guardians.
[SPEAKER_06]: I got the map right here.
[SPEAKER_06]: What do you think Felix?
[SPEAKER_07]: Oh, yeah, this is going to help set a lot.
[SPEAKER_07]: Thanks, Doc.
[SPEAKER_07]: All right, it looks like our ship is right here at the airfield.
[SPEAKER_07]: Unfortunately, within that compound area, you mentioned.
[SPEAKER_07]: Doc, let's go ahead and have a hell of a time.
[SPEAKER_07]: Good day, guys.
[SPEAKER_06]: Well, I guess the question becomes, do we take the East Gate?
[SPEAKER_06]: Or do we try our luck getting in the city otherwise?
[SPEAKER_06]: And go through that compound on the west side.
[SPEAKER_06]: Time is a factor.
[SPEAKER_03]: I'd love to see how high these fences are, I mean.
[SPEAKER_08]: Oh, the walls?
[SPEAKER_08]: Torquette Chibou and a half feet.
[SPEAKER_08]: to 24 feet depending on where you are infected with the walls.
[SPEAKER_08]: They're also about 18 inches thick on average.
[SPEAKER_07]: Yes, they're still good.
[SPEAKER_07]: Any chance it was coming out of for the water?
[SPEAKER_08]: Yes, that's possible.
[SPEAKER_08]: There are dogs.
[SPEAKER_08]: The walls do go out into the ocean a little bit.
[SPEAKER_08]: The ocean is only slightly toxic to humans.
[SPEAKER_08]: So you should be mostly okay to fix your urine at your original and not swimming.
[SPEAKER_07]: Thor, do you know if this car could hover over bodies of water?
[SPEAKER_07]: No, look, go mad department.
[SPEAKER_07]: It's not meant for that.
[SPEAKER_07]: It humbers, but not like that.
[SPEAKER_07]: I mean, we could always trial.
[SPEAKER_07]: Robert, no, it will not work.
[SPEAKER_07]: Machine machines don't just try.
[SPEAKER_03]: Sounds like the water might be out.
[SPEAKER_03]: Must DJ Froggy had some wet suits or something for us.
[SPEAKER_03]: But that might be, it looks like the gates are where we're going to go.
[SPEAKER_03]: We want to try to go through the heavily armed gates or maybe create a little distraction.
[SPEAKER_03]: What are y'all thinking?
[SPEAKER_06]: Unless we're going in there guns blazing, grabbing the ship and blasting out, I think they skits out of the question.
[SPEAKER_01]: Guys, let's go back to basics.
[SPEAKER_01]: I'm grabbing the radio from like Felix or Robert, I don't know, I'm still in chaos mode.
[SPEAKER_01]: I'm like, I had a really great battle here.
[SPEAKER_06]: But block will just distill like fueling your actions.
[SPEAKER_01]: Alara, if we set the flowers on fire, what's going to happen?
[SPEAKER_08]: If you set the flower, you mean the purple flowers in the field?
[SPEAKER_01]: Yes, the medicinal ones.
[SPEAKER_08]: Well, depends who's downwind, but anyone that breeds that and is going to have either a really good time or a severe allergic reaction.
[SPEAKER_01]: How common are the allergies?
[SPEAKER_08]: Oh, one in every 1250 people have a reaction in trials.
[SPEAKER_01]: Oh, that's not good.
[SPEAKER_08]: Okay.
[SPEAKER_08]: Essentially a heavy narcotic.
[SPEAKER_07]: Now you're sticking my language.
[SPEAKER_07]: I just do air it Felix.
[SPEAKER_08]: But when I'm calculating the number of residents in that village
[SPEAKER_08]: I think if just the right field was set on fire, it would only hit the black harbor compound and not the actual civilian population.
[SPEAKER_01]: That's very kind of you, Laura.
[SPEAKER_01]: Thank you for that thought.
[SPEAKER_01]: Guys, I think we can set some flowers on fire.
[SPEAKER_03]: Oh, yeah, it's a great idea.
[SPEAKER_08]: I love the fire, yeah, that'll definitely do it.
[SPEAKER_08]: So you drive a couple miles away from Black Harbor and you're starting to get to the beginnings of the purple flower fields.
[SPEAKER_08]: You see that there's acres on both the left side and the right side and the road goes straight to the southern gate, which is directly in the middle of Black Harbor itself.
[SPEAKER_08]: So, like Dr. Larva said, setting the right field on fire with the current wind, which you test, and she's alarmingly accurate, should only float dust from the fire or smoke from the fire over that half of black harbor.
[SPEAKER_08]: So, you have several different ways that you can create fire.
[SPEAKER_08]: So, what's the grand plan here?
[SPEAKER_08]: What are you planning?
[SPEAKER_01]: I look out my notebook for my gear, and I'm like, all right, guys, just mine up the pot.
[SPEAKER_01]: You set fire to these fields, like a large set.
[SPEAKER_01]: It's going to take out their military presence over here in Los Harbour.
[SPEAKER_01]: What we can do next is sneak in through the gate, use this confusion to our damage, and get into that airfield and take your ship when everyone else in your capacity.
[SPEAKER_03]: Hello, Glenn boss.
[SPEAKER_03]: I love it definitely a fan now one thing I'm gonna add because I want this car Whew, it's a nice drive.
[SPEAKER_03]: We got to stash it somewhere where we could be able to pick it up on the way out But just drive it in true.
[SPEAKER_01]: We could drive the car.
[SPEAKER_07]: Don't get both of us in there.
[SPEAKER_05]: I'll get to be high as hell Should be no problem.
[SPEAKER_05]: It's just act natural taking advantage in the situation Crews right up to the scapegoat and off for this plan Perfect
[SPEAKER_01]: I love it.
[SPEAKER_07]: Now, as far as get this fire going, I think, I, I, I grab healing a little bit from her.
[SPEAKER_07]: I think if we overload a few power cells at D spots that should get us enough momentum for a good, rigid fire to go.
[SPEAKER_01]: Love it.
[SPEAKER_03]: Anything else we need to prep?
[SPEAKER_03]: We need to wait for a certain time a day or we're just going to let her rip.
[SPEAKER_01]: I think we've got to get this done before the wind changes and that sounds smart to make.
[SPEAKER_07]: Yep, agreed.
[SPEAKER_07]: Sooner the better.
[SPEAKER_08]: So, planned out, you set a fire in the right-hand field, set several different points of fire, and the field goes ablaze, and thick plumes of purple smoke rise into the sky, caught by the northernly wind, sweeping it out to the sea, and directly over the black harbor guardian fort.
[SPEAKER_07]: I do try to grab a few locals.
[SPEAKER_08]: Oh yeah, okay, so go ahead and roll a mental saving throw.
[SPEAKER_08]: Aribal roll.
[SPEAKER_08]: Terrible.
[SPEAKER_08]: You are a high as hell.
[SPEAKER_08]: You are, you are a high to the point where you're not super used.
[SPEAKER_00]: Oh god.
[SPEAKER_08]: Oh yeah.
[SPEAKER_08]: Yeah, and you guys see in the effects that it has on Felix, known drug abuser, you're starting to worry about your own ability to resist it when you eventually have to inhale it by going into the fork.
[SPEAKER_01]: So, um, there's the car have windows?
[SPEAKER_08]: The car does have windows.
[SPEAKER_08]: Hey, you're easy.
[SPEAKER_07]: We're still on a mission.
[SPEAKER_07]: Oh, yeah, I know.
[SPEAKER_07]: Is it going to have these snacks?
[SPEAKER_01]: Guys, you got to roll up the car windows.
[SPEAKER_01]: We could not all end up like him.
[SPEAKER_08]: Roll them up.
[SPEAKER_08]: This strange thing about this car is everything's automatic, except for the windows.
[SPEAKER_08]: So everyone starts.
[SPEAKER_08]: Oh, but the windows, just roll them up.
[SPEAKER_01]: We love Capretro Claire.
[SPEAKER_08]: Yeah, there's a lot of, there's one retro feature in this car.
[SPEAKER_08]: Actually, there's a bunch because the guy had a leather driving jacket and leather gloves, so he's sort of a retro officianato.
[SPEAKER_06]: I'm wearing them now, so.
[SPEAKER_08]: It's also a manual hovercar, just to be difficult.
[SPEAKER_06]: Not that the transmission is manual, it's that the hovering is manual.
[SPEAKER_08]: There's greats in the floor, and everyone just has to like blow really hard.
[SPEAKER_06]: It's like the Flintstones, but with your lungs.
[SPEAKER_08]: So, everything's on fire.
[SPEAKER_08]: Well, not everything.
[SPEAKER_08]: A field of purple flowers, which is probably incredibly valuable to this community, and you're probably destituting everyone that lives here.
[SPEAKER_08]: Some more, some more, is now on fire, and your safe and sound inside of your extremely expensive hovercar, luxury.
[SPEAKER_08]: Luxury, right?
[SPEAKER_08]: It's so luxury that it has roll-up windows, and you are on the southern road that leads to the southern gate.
[SPEAKER_08]: But there is a road that loops around to the eastern gate as well.
[SPEAKER_06]: That's the one we want.
[SPEAKER_01]: The eastern gate road?
[SPEAKER_06]: Yeah, I pull up the map and I point at Robert who's supposed to be focusing on the road.
[SPEAKER_06]: We want to go ahead for this road, and this gate here.
[SPEAKER_03]: I'm sorry, I'm just inhaling a little bit of smoke here, you know?
[SPEAKER_03]: No, no, no.
[SPEAKER_03]: No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no,
[SPEAKER_07]: I try to reach over Thorne to roll on the witness I can get a bit more.
[SPEAKER_06]: A slap is hand.
[SPEAKER_07]: While we're driving, I'm checking Froggy's pockets for snacks, okay?
[SPEAKER_08]: In Froggy's pockets, you find something wet and you pull it out, and it kind of looks like a, you know what I guess you get super wet and starts to disintegrate?
[SPEAKER_08]: It's like that, but it's like a round thing, and that's it, that's all, that's all it's in his pockets.
[SPEAKER_08]: And his pockets are not wet, just this object is wet.
[SPEAKER_08]: I make a weird face and I kind of wipe it off on his chin.
[SPEAKER_08]: Oh, but now he has a brown blob on his cheek.
[SPEAKER_08]: Meanwhile, he's still bleeding pretty good, but it's stopping because of the Lazarus patch.
[SPEAKER_08]: And as the brown sludge runs down his cheek, he kind of like licks at it in his sleep.
[SPEAKER_06]: He looks at the trouble maker.
[SPEAKER_06]: He's so different when he's high versus when he's sober, when he's sober, he's just mad all the time.
[SPEAKER_08]: He's not fun when he's silver.
[SPEAKER_08]: I don't know if that's the message we want to be putting out here But listen if anyone if anyone's listening to this podcast Being high is makes you a more fun person Any kids Tenor below if you're listening you shouldn't be this is not a good podcast for you.
[SPEAKER_00]: It is not oh my god
[SPEAKER_08]: So Robert Ross, you take the Eastern Road and you make your way over to the Eastern Gate.
[SPEAKER_08]: As you pull up, you see that the gate is actually flung wide open.
[SPEAKER_08]: There are two guards outside of it, and there are maybe 20 feet to the east of the gate.
[SPEAKER_08]: So as you're approaching them, they're between you and the gate.
[SPEAKER_08]: And behind them, there's just like five other soldiers, no guns or anything.
[SPEAKER_08]: Just like hacking up a lung and like leaning against the wall and like looking dizzy or laying on the ground.
[SPEAKER_03]: I do not just blow past the gate.
[SPEAKER_03]: I make sure to slow roll up to and give them a little bit of a wave and see what the guards do.
[SPEAKER_06]: They just wanted me.
[SPEAKER_08]: Okay, so as you're slowly pulling up to these two guys and they're walking towards you, you can see they're kind of stumbling a little bit.
[SPEAKER_08]: One goes on the driver's side at the driver's side window and one goes to the passenger's side window.
[SPEAKER_08]: Thorne, you were on the passenger's side if you're the one
[SPEAKER_08]: talking to people.
[SPEAKER_06]: So my plan here was kind of just to not make a big thing out of this and just flash something that could easily be misconstrued as identification and then just have Robert keep going.
[SPEAKER_08]: He knocks on the window and he knocks on the window a second time.
[SPEAKER_08]: Open the window.
[SPEAKER_08]: Yeah, I crack it.
[SPEAKER_06]: What do you want?
[SPEAKER_08]: He says, what do you want?
[SPEAKER_06]: Is everything delivery?
[SPEAKER_08]: Who are you?
[SPEAKER_08]: Wait, what?
[SPEAKER_08]: Do you want?
[SPEAKER_08]: Wait.
[SPEAKER_08]: Huh?
[SPEAKER_08]: Who are you?
[SPEAKER_06]: We're making a routine delivery.
[SPEAKER_08]: Why is my voice sound so weird?
[SPEAKER_08]: Who are you looking over the car at his friend?
[SPEAKER_08]: Who are you?
[SPEAKER_08]: Why is my voice sound so weird?
[SPEAKER_08]: Your voice is so so weird, dude.
[SPEAKER_08]: Right?
[SPEAKER_08]: I'll mic.
[SPEAKER_08]: Who are you, who are you, who are you, who are you, who are you, what does that it's it doesn't mean anything Move your lips more my lips my lips.
[SPEAKER_06]: Listen, we gotta go.
[SPEAKER_06]: We're really busy.
[SPEAKER_06]: So just let me know how that goes though my lips
[SPEAKER_08]: and then you guys just drive away.
[SPEAKER_08]: So the window was cracked.
[SPEAKER_08]: I'm sorry to say.
[SPEAKER_08]: A little bit got in.
[SPEAKER_08]: Just enough for the person directly next to the window that perhaps be affected.
[SPEAKER_08]: Go ahead and roll savings to the window.
[SPEAKER_08]: He's alone.
[SPEAKER_08]: That's a failure.
[SPEAKER_08]: Oh, so you are not as bad office Felix because he failed spectacularly, but you just got a little bit like the actual real medicinal amount and your gunshot wounds that the robbing pain that you have on the side of your chest goes away almost completely.
[SPEAKER_06]: Oh, I think I think I got a little bit there as I've rolling up the window.
[SPEAKER_06]: I, I encourage you Felix, but man, this is what it's pretty well.
[SPEAKER_06]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_06]: Yeah, it does.
[SPEAKER_08]: So you drive in through the open gate and you find yourself in the airfield.
[SPEAKER_08]: So the airfield of Black Harbor is essentially flanked by two rows of warehouses, and is obviously not supposed to be an airfield in the original layout of whatever this was.
[SPEAKER_08]: It's two rows of warehouses with a big open space between them.
[SPEAKER_08]: That was one very classy, but is now just like spotted with dead grass, and has been just run over by
[SPEAKER_08]: Spaceships and jeeps and various four wheel vehicles over and over and over again turning it into like mostly just a bunch of mud On the far south side of the airfield, which is where you are.
[SPEAKER_08]: There is a guard station completely empty There are two guards outside of the guard station sitting outside of it laughing talking hugging
[SPEAKER_08]: and leading along the airfield, as you follow it with your eyes going north, are several derelict spaceships that have been completely gutted, and then to, I wouldn't say, pristine, but spaceships that look like they could actually fly.
[SPEAKER_08]: One is the scapegoat, and the other one is a triangular fair with landing gear under each point of the triangle.
[SPEAKER_08]: Kind of looks like a stealth bomber.
[SPEAKER_08]: So the scapegoat is just a couple hundred feet away from you.
[SPEAKER_07]: There she is.
[SPEAKER_07]: Oh my god, she's more beautiful than I remembered.
[SPEAKER_08]: The hatch is down and there is one soldier outside of the hatch, bearing the omnitech insignia on his shoulder.
[SPEAKER_06]: Easy, they're Robert.
[SPEAKER_06]: I'm worried about this one.
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, now, um, do we want to do anything about this, uh, here other ship?
[SPEAKER_03]: Because, uh, we might want to make sure that it can't follow us.
[SPEAKER_06]: Have any, uh, any markings that we can identify?
[SPEAKER_08]: No, it's just a black triangle.
[SPEAKER_08]: It isn't an incredibly aggressive looking ship, but no insignia, no markings, no nothing.
[SPEAKER_01]: You either, myself or Robert, recognize the ship type, or is it something weird and experimental?
[SPEAKER_08]: That is an excellent question.
[SPEAKER_08]: So, hey, Lee, you wouldn't know what this is necessarily.
[SPEAKER_08]: You mainly spent your time in dropships if you were in a ship at all.
[SPEAKER_08]: Robert Ross, you can go ahead and roll pilot to see if this is something that you ran into during your training.
[SPEAKER_03]: And with that, I rolled pallet intelligence of a tan.
[SPEAKER_03]: So I'm curious.
[SPEAKER_03]: This might be something that I got trained on.
[SPEAKER_03]: I actually think, paley with one wire, might have shown me how this here works.
[SPEAKER_08]: So Robert, you've seen this before.
[SPEAKER_08]: And you know that it's a stealth spaceship used for covert missions.
[SPEAKER_08]: But you're not aware of like its model or designation or even how many have been produced.
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, y'all, we used these for some wet work back in the day somewhere.
[SPEAKER_03]: We, uh, we're not there.
[SPEAKER_03]: Now, this was supposed to be seen or heard now that that I'm worried about maybe a problem if it follows us, but I don't know.
[SPEAKER_03]: Everybody's too hot and know what they're doing.
[SPEAKER_03]: So, uh, we want to ignore and keep rolling on to the scapegoat or, uh, what does the team think?
[SPEAKER_03]: Do we want to, do we want to get up in there, maybe do a little sabotage?
[SPEAKER_06]: I'm mostly worried about that guy right there standing outside the scapegoat.
[SPEAKER_08]: So the hatch is down for the scapegoat, and this guy's standing directly in front of the hatch, and he has a breather on, so he doesn't seem to be affected by the gas.
[SPEAKER_08]: Is the hatch a walkway or is it like a ramp that we could draft the car up?
[SPEAKER_08]: It's a ramp.
[SPEAKER_08]: It goes directly up into the first cargo hold, and then from the first cargo hold to the second cargo hold, there's only a walkway.
[SPEAKER_08]: So the first cargo holds for larger cargo
[SPEAKER_06]: It really quick question.
[SPEAKER_06]: You ever killed a man with a rifle and I'm moving vehicle while holding your breath?
[SPEAKER_01]: I'm more of a puncture, but no.
[SPEAKER_06]: I mean, would you like to?
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, yeah, I would.
[SPEAKER_01]: That'd be great.
[SPEAKER_01]: Just want to, yeah, let's do it.
[SPEAKER_08]: Okay, here we go.
[SPEAKER_08]: So what's happening?
[SPEAKER_08]: You guys are quickly closing the distance between you and this man and in front of the in front of the scapegoat.
[SPEAKER_08]: And as you get closer, he notices that you're not stopping and you seem quite hostile.
[SPEAKER_06]: He's about to find out exactly how hostile because my thought here is that Robert just keeps us going.
[SPEAKER_06]: And Hayley just takes this omni-tech bug out before he even gets a chance to notice what the heck's going on.
[SPEAKER_08]: Okay, well, times up, you guys are basically just like a hundred feet from them now, and he sees that you are now an aggressor, and he begins to open fire.
[SPEAKER_08]: I'm gonna pull in the roar of that.
[SPEAKER_08]: You guys are unrolling the window, and Haley's sticking half her body out the window, and getting ready to fire, but before all that happens, this guy gets a free shot.
[SPEAKER_08]: I rolled an eight, his shot goes low, Haley.
[SPEAKER_00]: Unfortunately, I have minus one on shoot, but let's do it.
[SPEAKER_08]: You miss your shock goes wide I pass it back.
[SPEAKER_08]: No have confidence in yourself.
[SPEAKER_08]: I sure to get him.
[SPEAKER_08]: Well, you can just choose to hit.
[SPEAKER_01]: Oh Yeah, seriously.
[SPEAKER_01]: Yes, I hit him.
[SPEAKER_01]: I hit him for eight
[SPEAKER_08]: Okay, your shot goes wide.
[SPEAKER_08]: No wait, no it doesn't.
[SPEAKER_08]: The laser, Korean, just boom!
[SPEAKER_08]: It's in the chest for eight points of damage.
[SPEAKER_08]: He goes flying backwards.
[SPEAKER_08]: His breather falling off of his face and he takes a big ol' sweet inhale of that sweet sweet purple flower as he falls into oblivion and dies.
[SPEAKER_01]: Oh God, I roll up for it now.
[SPEAKER_08]: Robert, you drive over a sportsman?
[SPEAKER_08]: No, no.
[SPEAKER_08]: And then you drive up the ramp and into the scapegoat.
[SPEAKER_08]: You are now in Cargo Bay 1, the one that Felix fixed with a giant hunk of metal plating on your first space car.
[SPEAKER_06]: You can still see the metal plate welded to the wall over there.
[SPEAKER_03]: Feels good to be home, y'all.
[SPEAKER_06]: We're not home yet.
[SPEAKER_01]: I've got to get out of here.
[SPEAKER_06]: I push some buttons on a control panel that makes the Cargo Bay ramp close.
[SPEAKER_08]: I snap away.
[SPEAKER_08]: What happened?
[SPEAKER_08]: You're in the back of the car alone, everyone else has already gotten out and you're talking to yourself.
[SPEAKER_08]: Are you talking to froggy?
[SPEAKER_08]: Froggy's unconscious.
[SPEAKER_08]: It's a froggy.
[SPEAKER_08]: Yep.
[SPEAKER_03]: It's bloody unconscious.
[SPEAKER_03]: Backsy.
[SPEAKER_08]: You're laying on froggy.
[SPEAKER_06]: That's where we put the unconscious people.
[SPEAKER_08]: You've matched the brown sludge into your own face as well at this point.
[SPEAKER_08]: A wipe it off.
[SPEAKER_07]: I've had him on the chest and I open the door and make my way out of the car.
[SPEAKER_06]: All right, everybody, get to your stations.
[SPEAKER_06]: We got to get this in a linguist and we got to get out of here for our omni-tig gets word.
[SPEAKER_08]: Okay, what's up, he's so hasty because as you all exit the cargo bay, you hear a slow clap coming from the bridge.
[SPEAKER_06]: Like a person sarcastically clapping or like something like a slapping sound slowly.
[SPEAKER_06]: The former.
[SPEAKER_08]: Great.
[SPEAKER_08]: The clapping continues as you follow the sound to the bridge.
[SPEAKER_08]: I start clapping, I join it in with the clapping.
[SPEAKER_07]: on off-beats just to ignore just to ignore whoever this comes out think it's like I think if I could graduate an estrogated ship back so I'm like clapping to walk with it.
[SPEAKER_07]: Good job us guys the ships clapping for us.
[SPEAKER_01]: I ready my fists.
[SPEAKER_08]: I pull up my pistol.
[SPEAKER_08]: So you follow the clapping noise all the way to the bridge.
[SPEAKER_08]: Felix clapping along enthusiastically.
[SPEAKER_08]: And there you sitting in the captain's chair, a man with shaving sides of his head, long blonde hair on top, brown eyes.
[SPEAKER_08]: Square-cut jaw, the uniform of a veridine laboratory's employee, the jet black with a white trim, slow clapping, one leg crossed over the other and he says, I was wondering when you were going to show up.
[SPEAKER_08]: Who the hell are you?
[SPEAKER_08]: Who the hell am I?
[SPEAKER_08]: Well, quite an interesting way to make an introduction.
[SPEAKER_08]: Well, that's how I act when there's a stranger on my bridge.
[SPEAKER_08]: I'm almost offended.
[SPEAKER_08]: You don't know who I am.
[SPEAKER_08]: My name is Victor Strake.
[SPEAKER_08]: Have you heard of me?
[SPEAKER_08]: Have I?
[SPEAKER_08]: No.
[SPEAKER_01]: No.
[SPEAKER_08]: Can't say that I have.
[SPEAKER_08]: You haven't.
[SPEAKER_08]: It's fine.
[SPEAKER_08]: I'm people know of me.
[SPEAKER_08]: Which people?
[SPEAKER_08]: People know you're dumb haircut.
[SPEAKER_08]: It's a popular.
[SPEAKER_08]: It's popular where I'm from.
[SPEAKER_08]: Just like me.
[SPEAKER_01]: Where are you from?
[SPEAKER_08]: That's top secret.
[SPEAKER_06]: Well, anyway, that leads me to my second question.
[SPEAKER_06]: What the hell are you doing on my bridge?
[SPEAKER_08]: That's your first mistake.
[SPEAKER_08]: This is not your bridge.
[SPEAKER_08]: This is my bridge.
[SPEAKER_08]: This is a ship owned by Omnitek and Omnitek is owned by Veridine and I am Veridine's top risk management officer.
[SPEAKER_08]: You've stolen this ship.
[SPEAKER_08]: This is my ship.
[SPEAKER_08]: We are taking it back and we are taking you with it.
[SPEAKER_08]: You will be questioned.
[SPEAKER_08]: We will find out everything that happened and then you will pay for your crimes.
[SPEAKER_08]: Probably in Corpo jail.
[SPEAKER_08]: I am not going back to prison.
[SPEAKER_08]: Well, news flash, yes you are.
[SPEAKER_01]: Victor, we came here on a mission, and we are very close to finishing it, so what changed?
[SPEAKER_08]: The only reason I haven't arrested you yet is because I'd like to know exactly what you think you are doing.
[SPEAKER_08]: You're certainly just meandering across the sector.
[SPEAKER_08]: You certainly don't aren't acting like you've stolen a ship from all of the tech.
[SPEAKER_08]: You're acting like, well, you're acting incredibly disrespectful.
[SPEAKER_08]: And to be a bit honest with you, it was way too easy to catch you and embarrassment in fact.
[SPEAKER_08]: So what do you think you're doing here?
[SPEAKER_07]: It was easy to catch us, because we weren't running, man.
[SPEAKER_07]: We were just on a mission.
[SPEAKER_07]: We got the ship, like, on orders from our detect, and we're here to get, like, Dr. Voss.
[SPEAKER_08]: Ah, Dr. Alaravoss.
[SPEAKER_08]: I suspected this traced back to her.
[SPEAKER_08]: You know, I just didn't think she had any help.
[SPEAKER_08]: But now that I know that, we'll grab the good doctor.
[SPEAKER_08]: The four of you can come with us.
[SPEAKER_08]: And we'll get to the bottom of this once and for all.
[SPEAKER_07]: It's quite constant.
[SPEAKER_07]: You can see in us, and I just see you.
[SPEAKER_07]: and a pet haily.
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, I'm, I'm a, wondering what stopping us from taking the ship real quick here.
[SPEAKER_08]: We got one heavily armed man and one woman with very heavy arms.
[SPEAKER_08]: His bread's his hands wide and then your radio crackles.
[SPEAKER_08]: Dr. Boss comes over the radio and says, and you got the ship back yet?
[SPEAKER_08]: I sort of teach you to come back right now.
[SPEAKER_06]: I just grab it and I radio.
[SPEAKER_06]: Yeah, working on it.
[SPEAKER_08]: I'm not alone here and they're coming in.
[SPEAKER_08]: Oh God, they've got a drill now!
[SPEAKER_06]: I look at the guy sitting in presumably my chair.
[SPEAKER_06]: Friends of yours, I assume.
[SPEAKER_08]: Yes, I brought a few soldiers on loan from Omnitech.
[SPEAKER_08]: They really want their ship back.
[SPEAKER_08]: Gonna pull out my pistol.
[SPEAKER_08]: He just grins at you.
[SPEAKER_08]: And... I'm gonna shoot him.
[SPEAKER_08]: his green stays on his face even as he does.
[SPEAKER_08]: He slumps over in the chair.
[SPEAKER_01]: I don't know.
[SPEAKER_07]: What an annoying piece of shit.
[SPEAKER_07]: Robert, get this guy off the ship.
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, I'm giving him the old heifold.
[SPEAKER_01]: No, no, pat him down first.
[SPEAKER_08]: Mm-hmm.
[SPEAKER_08]: On the body, you find absolutely nothing.
[SPEAKER_08]: Well then.
[SPEAKER_01]: Is the body bleeding?
[SPEAKER_08]: Yes.
[SPEAKER_01]: Okay.
[SPEAKER_01]: It's not a robot.
[SPEAKER_08]: No, it's not a robot.
[SPEAKER_08]: No, I would know those are robots.
[SPEAKER_08]: I would have to know that.
[SPEAKER_08]: So Robert, you grab his body, sling him over your shoulder and just dump him out the side of the ship.
[SPEAKER_08]: And you power up the ship.
[SPEAKER_08]: Everything slowly warms up.
[SPEAKER_08]: The back of the ship has finished closing.
[SPEAKER_08]: The engine began to spin.
[SPEAKER_08]: The familiar home of the scapegoat that you heard from Munston and as you were traveling between Camiri 4 and Wofisa fills the cabin.
[SPEAKER_08]: Everyone takes their station and you lift off.
[SPEAKER_07]: Add it there.
[SPEAKER_08]: Born, out of the front of the ship.
[SPEAKER_01]: Oh no.
[SPEAKER_08]: As Robert is lifting you off, you're looking out the front windows of the ship, and you spot that stealth fighter.
[SPEAKER_08]: A hatch opens on its side, and from out of it comes Victor's strike.
[SPEAKER_08]: He grins up at you as you fly off.
[SPEAKER_07]: Anyone else see that?
[SPEAKER_07]: What?
[SPEAKER_07]: I was hugging my console.
[SPEAKER_07]: The creep with the weird haircut.
[SPEAKER_07]: Yeah, the one I killed.
[SPEAKER_07]: No, I just saw him get out of the stealth fighter.
[SPEAKER_07]: Must've been a clone or something.
[SPEAKER_07]: Now, must be his weird brother.
[SPEAKER_07]: Now we're gonna have a family of feud on our hands.
[SPEAKER_07]: Ugh.
[SPEAKER_07]: Those are the worst.
[SPEAKER_08]: And so, reunited with the scapegoat, you mark a heading for Southern Wofisa to pick up Dr. Elara Voss, whose last transmission to you was concerning to say the least.
[SPEAKER_08]: But those are problems for another time.
[SPEAKER_08]: Oh, what was I thinking?
[SPEAKER_06]: I always said people before product, but this?
[SPEAKER_06]: Oh, that Victor straight guy?
[SPEAKER_06]: That situation resolved itself way too easily.
[SPEAKER_06]: I'm sure I saw his identical twins dip out of that stealth ship.
[SPEAKER_06]: No way, that's the last we hear a veridine.
[SPEAKER_06]: You can't trust these corpos come one bit.
[SPEAKER_06]: Or are they saying we stole from them after they sent us on this mission?
[SPEAKER_06]: Was it a setup?
[SPEAKER_06]: Something doesn't add up.
[SPEAKER_06]: In this mess, oh, I did I bring this froggy guy with us.
[SPEAKER_06]: I couldn't just leave him there.
[SPEAKER_06]: He has good music taste and everything.
[SPEAKER_06]: I'll have a deal, Rura.
[SPEAKER_06]: The back seat interior is covered in blood and some kind of weird, brown goo.
[SPEAKER_06]: And the body's full of bullet holes, so much of the collector's value.
[SPEAKER_06]: When Froggy wakes up, he's going to be spending long hours helping me clean this old girl back up.
[SPEAKER_06]: Of course, that's assuming we could off this stink hole alive.
[SPEAKER_07]: Damn.
[SPEAKER_07]: This flower is starting to wear off.
[SPEAKER_07]: I'm not sure.
[SPEAKER_07]: It was nice to be high for a bit, because otherwise this day was a huge pain in the ass.
[SPEAKER_07]: Finally, fix that goddamn mess of a generator that DJ Brown do froggy's bucked up, which, by the way, nobody thanked me for.
[SPEAKER_07]: Only to widen up on the run from Omnitech, who I thought I was working for.
[SPEAKER_07]: And I really do not need this kind of attention from that right now.
[SPEAKER_07]: Not when I've been fined under their radar for so long, but now I've got a killed one of their apparent top men.
[SPEAKER_07]: Well, also angry with his cycle-looking twin brother, so I mean, who knows what kind of heat is going to come down on me now?
[SPEAKER_07]: I really just cannot wait to go get Dr. Voss, get the hell off this planet, and try to put some of the pieces together to solve this puzzle, because I really just don't have the answers right now.
[SPEAKER_07]: And it started to piss me the hell off.
[SPEAKER_03]: and froggy get shot, and Thorn has to bring him along.
[SPEAKER_03]: Now we got another mouth to feed.
[SPEAKER_03]: I swear, if he steals my orange juice, I'll spice him.
[SPEAKER_03]: I mean, I had a whole plan.
[SPEAKER_03]: Make froggy the voice of the wastes.
[SPEAKER_03]: Lead a revolution.
[SPEAKER_03]: Another thing's gonna happen.
[SPEAKER_03]: I hadn't gotten there yet.
[SPEAKER_03]: Oh, that all went up in smoke Speaking of I cannot believe Felix.
[SPEAKER_03]: I ain't thorn getting high on mission.
[SPEAKER_03]: Let me feel excited.
[SPEAKER_03]: Don't want Wait damn it.
[SPEAKER_03]: That was my opportunity.
[SPEAKER_03]: I should have challenged him to low keep home Next time What the hell was that Victor strapped nonsense Well, it wouldn't be the first clone I have seen
[SPEAKER_03]: Hey, there's all thing wreaks.
[SPEAKER_01]: This mission has been off the rails since we met the drift rats and it just keeps getting worse.
[SPEAKER_01]: So, might as well lean in.
[SPEAKER_01]: Guess we're adding Arson to the problem-solving options list.
[SPEAKER_01]: Felix getting high off the flowers was acceptable collateral we did manage to get the ship back and hopefully that's the last we hear a victor strike or veridine until we figure out what's going on with Alara and get off this planet.
[SPEAKER_01]: Jobs are not supposed to be like this.
[SPEAKER_01]: Veridine,
[SPEAKER_01]: But we're going to figure it out.
[SPEAKER_01]: We're going to take care of this stuff with Alara, and we're going to get off fucking with Fisa.
[SPEAKER_08]: Will the crew be able to save the good doctor?
[SPEAKER_08]: Who is Victor Strake?
[SPEAKER_08]: And what exactly is going on with her on the tech contract?
[SPEAKER_08]: Tune in next time for the answers to these questions and more.
[SPEAKER_08]: On the Dark Star, Adventurecast.
