[SPEAKER_03]: This season of 5 GM's in a trench coat deals with themes of loneliness, loss, the paranormal, growing older, confrontation, parental pressures, reconciliation, teenage genannigans, illusions to being people of color in the 80s and hope.
[SPEAKER_03]: Listener discussion is advised.
[SPEAKER_00]: Hey, over here, listen in, that's five friends, steak turns, waiting stories of the tabletop game of their choice.
[SPEAKER_00]: This is five gems in a trench coat.
[SPEAKER_02]: Hello everybody, welcome to five gems in a trench coat.
[SPEAKER_02]: Season five from inside of the tent.
[SPEAKER_02]: Interstate 380, we're just route 380, even.
[SPEAKER_02]: We're heading down this highway,
[SPEAKER_02]: the sound of warm, warm rubber kind of presses against hot, hot asphalt as the about 101 degree sun beats its way into this kind of old beat down car, heating the interior even with cracked windows.
[SPEAKER_02]: Making it close to unbearable skin sticking to seats and burning as you actually place it down on the armrest next to the door and yanking your arm up the air's dry and air-ed and you fill the inside of your nostrils cracked just a bit You'll definitely have those rock blood boogers later on Your mouth is
[SPEAKER_02]: dry, but not in the way that's begging for water, but more in the way that it's just tired.
[SPEAKER_02]: It's not too hot.
[SPEAKER_02]: It's just your exhaust.
[SPEAKER_02]: You've been driving a long time.
[SPEAKER_02]: The wheel is hot to the touch.
[SPEAKER_02]: Who's driving?
[SPEAKER_02]: And what do they look like?
[SPEAKER_06]: I think.
[SPEAKER_06]: Angie is driving.
[SPEAKER_06]: She is driving because she's the most excited about being here in the first place.
[SPEAKER_06]: She's kind of of dragged her friend along on this road trip.
[SPEAKER_06]: They've just graduated from high school.
[SPEAKER_06]: So this is their pre-college.
[SPEAKER_06]: Let's go out and do something trip.
[SPEAKER_06]: Angie is 18.
[SPEAKER_06]: She's still got that kind of
[SPEAKER_06]: crop tear look that you give yourself in the bathroom mirror because you're trying.
[SPEAKER_06]: I just want to do something new.
[SPEAKER_06]: I really want to change myself.
[SPEAKER_06]: I'm finding who I am and so she took
[SPEAKER_06]: of black hair that contrasts against her pretty pale skin, despite the heat and kind of the uncomfortability of a road trip like this, she's still in very high spirits, probably bouncing her head along to whatever's playing on the radio.
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, you bounce your head along your self-done hair kind of bobs along with you.
[SPEAKER_02]: Next to you, the sun causes a bit of sweat to beat into their eyes and sting a bit.
[SPEAKER_02]: Vin can we describe your character and can you give us a name?
[SPEAKER_07]: Yes, in contrast, Tatum or Kate is sweltering, despite the weather, she has a aesthetic to achieve and it is unfortunately kind of like chaotic academia.
[SPEAKER_07]: So she's in like this long, plattie skirt, sweater vest, and a polo that's her summer look.
[SPEAKER_07]: It is just absolutely miserable behind like these big co-bottle glasses and trying to read But it's just sweat pouring down her brow like Jesus in the night and it's trying to be very Nautilian about it and it's failing
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, you, again, like you said, are attending to capture the StarCacket Damia, and that brow sweat is making it nearly impossible to read.
[SPEAKER_02]: Your eyes sting, and you're not quite sure if it's tears or sweat, that's kind of coming out the bottom of them.
[SPEAKER_02]: You've been driving now for a couple of miles, and you're just outside of Roswell.
[SPEAKER_02]: You're not quite inside into that portion of New Mexico yet.
[SPEAKER_02]: There's long strips of road that kind of just exist.
[SPEAKER_02]: Um, in the vast vastness of the Americas and going on a road trip in the summer is sort of this American passage of time of exploration So many parents talking about their summer before college and driving the driving the college with their friends or whatever And it's that kind of thing that you somehow been convinced into doing Where have you guys gone this far?
[SPEAKER_06]: I think this is honestly pretty early in the trip.
[SPEAKER_06]: I don't think we're from very far away.
[SPEAKER_06]: We've maybe made a pit stop once before reaching Roswell, but it's kind of clear that Angie has been on a warpath to get to here specifically.
[SPEAKER_06]: She's very excited to be in Roswell.
[SPEAKER_02]: As your war path is almost at its end, your foot's maybe a little heavier on the gas than typical when just in the middle of the Americas and just on a road, you're so close to that finish line of getting where you're going.
[SPEAKER_02]: It's hot.
[SPEAKER_02]: The music kind of drowns out a lot of the other feelings and sounds you might have to hear.
[SPEAKER_02]: heavy thrum and you're not sure if it's the car or the road or your own blood rushing in your ear from the heat and the constant attempted like dispersing the heat in your body you're getting flush your body's trying to release as much heat as it can you're heating up it's really hot but you just hear that low thrum the two of you
[SPEAKER_02]: What do you do when you start to feel almost like all of the hair on your body stand up?
[SPEAKER_07]: Just a little panic because she doesn't remember anything about like electromagnetic phenomena or static or something out here.
[SPEAKER_07]: So it's a little weird.
[SPEAKER_07]: It just kind of looks directly at Angie at the wheel.
[SPEAKER_07]: Quirks of brown.
[SPEAKER_06]: On the opposite side of that coin, Angie is kind of like a grinning in a way that's a bit hysterical just like, oh, oh, because unlike her dear friend and companion, Angie is very aware.
[SPEAKER_06]: that there have been weird electromagnetic things going all around this town.
[SPEAKER_06]: It's very hard for the course.
[SPEAKER_06]: You know, the skeptics like to say that it's just that geography of the place.
[SPEAKER_06]: It's just the military doing whatever they're doing, but not Angie.
[SPEAKER_06]: Angie has a very distinct hypothesis about what this might be.
[SPEAKER_06]: But she just looks at, at, um,
[SPEAKER_07]: I'm feeling a lot of things right now.
[SPEAKER_07]: You have to be a little bit specific.
[SPEAKER_06]: Cuntate, the hum, the thrumming it.
[SPEAKER_06]: Yeah, I think we're going crazy.
[SPEAKER_06]: Oh, so now you believe in a gosh.
[SPEAKER_06]: What's the word again?
[SPEAKER_06]: Share delusions?
[SPEAKER_07]: I believe in madness.
[SPEAKER_07]: Maybe in a little hypocrisy, maybe.
[SPEAKER_05]: But hypocrisy, yeah.
[SPEAKER_07]: Like, why are you at the little conspiracy person?
[SPEAKER_07]: Now you're gonna grill me about finding something weird.
[SPEAKER_06]: Well, conspiracy is our entomateness.
[SPEAKER_06]: Madness is boring.
[SPEAKER_07]: Oh my god, you should sell that on a t-shirt.
[SPEAKER_06]: I know.
[SPEAKER_02]: Can you guys give me a brain roll?
[SPEAKER_05]: Oh yeah.
[SPEAKER_07]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_07]: Well, I rolled a four, I rolled a 17.
[SPEAKER_07]: 17 so good.
[SPEAKER_02]: The Angie, maybe you didn't notice because again, you're foot so heavy on the gas and you're so close to your destination, you're kind of busy poking and prodding and tate.
[SPEAKER_02]: Tate of you have recognized that this is about the third time you're about to pass the same rest stop, or at least what appears to be the same rest stop.
[SPEAKER_07]: We've seen that right?
[SPEAKER_07]: I'm pretty sure we've seen that before.
[SPEAKER_07]: Let's see what the rest of us stop.
[SPEAKER_07]: Lister's multiple along the highway.
[SPEAKER_07]: I don't remember they're being this many.
[SPEAKER_06]: It might be a change.
[SPEAKER_07]: They have a bunch of those on this room, I don't think they franchise, no, look, you keep driving.
[SPEAKER_07]: I'm going to pay attention, and if I see that saying spot again, we're stopping, okay?
[SPEAKER_07]: I have to.
[SPEAKER_07]: Now she's focusing.
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, you drive for a bit.
[SPEAKER_02]: Probably about 20 minutes, and
[SPEAKER_02]: You see, in the distance, kind of the shape of a building, and as you get closer, it is that same rest up.
[SPEAKER_06]: Okay, stop.
[SPEAKER_06]: Okay, hold on, um, and uh, as you will make the move to pull over to the side of the road.
[SPEAKER_06]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_06]: We bring the car to a stop, and G turns off the engine,
[SPEAKER_06]: Okay, so yeah, that's definitely the same restock.
[SPEAKER_07]: Yeah, should have put a bed on it.
[SPEAKER_06]: That's fun.
[SPEAKER_07]: No, we should get out.
[SPEAKER_07]: No, we shouldn't.
[SPEAKER_06]: Okay, well, the other option is to just keep driving forward and clearly that hasn't been getting us anywhere.
[SPEAKER_06]: So I think we should go see the restock.
[SPEAKER_07]: You are very calm about the situation.
[SPEAKER_06]: Okay, I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I
[SPEAKER_06]: Hey, what?
[SPEAKER_06]: That is a 10.
[SPEAKER_06]: A 9.
[SPEAKER_02]: Was it both fairly good?
[SPEAKER_02]: You feel as your extremity, starting at the very tips of your fingers and toes begin to tingle, and it's the kind of tingle where you fall in a sleep on your arm like this, and you can't even move it, like the way that's self, like everything's gone fully numb in it.
[SPEAKER_02]: You're leg, into your feet, into your ankles, into your,
[SPEAKER_02]: calves into your thighs, your entire body starts to become heavy and weighted and almost impossible to move.
[SPEAKER_02]: You're taking a few steps.
[SPEAKER_02]: You're both getting so tired.
[SPEAKER_02]: Do you look at each other?
[SPEAKER_06]: Yeah, yeah, and she looks at it looks I say.
[SPEAKER_06]: I think her expression is like
[SPEAKER_06]: Oh, like, yeah, she was really excited, and this is really cool.
[SPEAKER_06]: It's starting to get a little bit real now, and a little less, yeah, a little less cool.
[SPEAKER_06]: I think she's a little scared.
[SPEAKER_02]: Tate, you see the fear in Angie's eyes.
[SPEAKER_02]: Someone who just a moment ago was kind of poking and prodding you about like, Oh, it's Roswell, New Mexico.
[SPEAKER_02]: And then a bit of blood dribbles out of Angie's nose before she passes out, and you're not long to follow as you both kind of fall unconscious.
[SPEAKER_02]: On the inside of this, what you know is a facade, it looks to be a rest stop from the outside.
[SPEAKER_02]: You were brought here.
[SPEAKER_02]: You didn't have anything covering your eyes.
[SPEAKER_02]: and you replaced here and you haven't been able to escape.
[SPEAKER_02]: It functionally is like a rest opera diner on the inside.
[SPEAKER_02]: There's food, there's access to handful of things.
[SPEAKER_02]: It's not access to much electronics.
[SPEAKER_02]: The people that brought you here don't trust you much of the electronics.
[SPEAKER_02]: They don't trust your level of intellect that you might have.
[SPEAKER_02]: They haven't done much communicating with you.
[SPEAKER_02]: A bit of poking and a bit of prodding.
[SPEAKER_02]: But that's about it.
[SPEAKER_02]: You get checked on by handlers every now and again.
[SPEAKER_02]: But you found that just about every,
[SPEAKER_02]: 10 to 15 miles in any direction ends in you falling unconscious and then waking up and having to walk back functionally.
[SPEAKER_02]: You can't seem to get out of this place.
[SPEAKER_02]: You've been here for quite
[SPEAKER_02]: you're not quite sure what it is, but then after the thrumming, and you hear it multiple times, but you hear the running of a car engine, and you see kind of sitting still in front of
[SPEAKER_02]: You just look out the window, I mean, you can watch out, but you see sitting still is this car and you see two people inside having a conversation and they Look out the window multiple times as if they're surprised to see this to see you again It's almost like they don't see you and they see you and they don't see you and they see you
[SPEAKER_02]: and then they veer off to the side and pull off and before they uh get out of their vehicles they have a short conversation and you see it as the two of them get out of their vehicle you see Tate and Angie who quickly fall unconscious you're on the inside this is the first time you've seen any non
[SPEAKER_02]: government agent type people.
[SPEAKER_02]: Come this way.
[SPEAKER_02]: Can you describe yourself and can you tell us what you're going to do in this moment?
[SPEAKER_04]: I would love to.
[SPEAKER_04]: So I am Umbra.
[SPEAKER_04]: Umbra looks like a cat.
[SPEAKER_04]: Um is a cat in shape.
[SPEAKER_04]: Um, kind of the size of a full grown main coon, which if you don't know how big a main
[SPEAKER_04]: go up into little tufts that resemble like Link's ears, except little tufts extend far longer backwards.
[SPEAKER_04]: She's this dark black coat of fur with sort of grayish flecks in the fur, the tips of
[SPEAKER_04]: her ears also go from black to gray, the longer it goes, and she just has these big old eyes that are mostly pupil in a way that is disconcerting.
[SPEAKER_04]: People don't much like to try and look her in the eyes, um, I think she is sort of jumped up onto one of the little tables by the...
[SPEAKER_04]: Windows of the rest up and has been quizzically just like head tilt watching this car go by I think the moment she sees them drop unconscious.
[SPEAKER_04]: It does this look familiar to me like the way I've started feeling when I started moving away too far from the
[SPEAKER_04]: This radius, yes, but there's something a little different about it.
[SPEAKER_02]: It shouldn't occur.
[SPEAKER_02]: This close to the, this close to it.
[SPEAKER_02]: Like you're not feeling it in a different way.
[SPEAKER_04]: Yeah, I think immediately then I'll hop down the table and then touch your pattern my way over to the two unconscious human bodies on the asubedly asphalt of the right, that's what the rest of
[SPEAKER_04]: I think once I get there, I'll look at them, sort of press my paw against Tate's body.
[SPEAKER_04]: Try and see if there's any reaction, anything.
[SPEAKER_04]: If there's nothing, I'll like start clam-bring over on their backs over Tate's and NG, try to see if I can rouse them from whatever slumber they fall in into.
[SPEAKER_02]: see if I can figure it myself yeah after a few moments so firstly upon kind of checking them there's something of note the I think you rolled me a brain
[SPEAKER_04]: Uh, that is a 19.
[SPEAKER_02]: Very good.
[SPEAKER_02]: Sorry.
[SPEAKER_02]: That's really good.
[SPEAKER_02]: On a 19, you think that they made it here by absolute happenstance and you know that a lot of what is going on here has to do with radio waves and sound waves.
[SPEAKER_02]: They kind of been keeping you here.
[SPEAKER_02]: Your ears are finally tuned to handle certain radio waves and whoever's keeping you here is using some kind of
[SPEAKER_02]: sound or radio-wave apparatus to create functionally a barrier for you that'll knock you unconscious.
[SPEAKER_02]: It seems that whatever radio station or song they had playing, this roughed it and it allowed them to come through.
[SPEAKER_02]: Hence why you aren't really allowed to have any technology in here.
[SPEAKER_02]: as you pitter petter on them though, they do quickly rouse a little groggy, tate and angi you kind of come to on this hot asphalt, your kind of body like stings a bit as you look around, uh, you have this kind of thrumming headache.
[SPEAKER_02]: As you look around and you see this large cat with knowing eyes.
[SPEAKER_04]: The moment the two of them start a stir, the little sort of feeling, sort of excited and intrigued by the prospect of interacting with people who aren't here to poke and part at me.
[SPEAKER_04]: Ambrose, like the little gray spots in her fur, glow a slight green.
[SPEAKER_04]: Before settling back into the gray as she sort of gets over that little burst of emotion and she looks at them.
[SPEAKER_06]: Um, I think as Andrew is sort of like, you know, like, the first feeling, there's two feelings, actually feels what she first kind of comes back into consciousness.
[SPEAKER_06]: The first being the weight of pause on her back, walking across her body, and then closely followed by the sting of the asphalt.
[SPEAKER_06]: and she kind of even noticed pushing herself up.
[SPEAKER_06]: There's blood that's dripped it down her face and she's kind of reached up to wipe it away and she looks up and you know the first thought that you have is like oh that's a cat the cat just spoke um i think she just gapes at umbra for
[SPEAKER_06]: Like too many like the silence carries it's just so much
[SPEAKER_06]: and then she like starts like hitting tape like with her hand.
[SPEAKER_06]: She's like reached over.
[SPEAKER_06]: She's still looking at Umbro.
[SPEAKER_07]: But she's like reaching and trying to, yeah, to lay is in an equal state of a gate.
[SPEAKER_07]: We kind of take the step back and another.
[SPEAKER_07]: I'm going to get us paper towels and a walk in runs.
[SPEAKER_04]: Yeah, they're in the third aisle from the left if if that helps You talk Uh, why shouldn't I?
[SPEAKER_04]: You're a cat.
[SPEAKER_04]: I uh, sorry.
[SPEAKER_04]: What is again?
[SPEAKER_04]: Do you have a name?
[SPEAKER_04]: Yes.
[SPEAKER_04]: My name is Umbra.
[SPEAKER_06]: Hello, Umbra.
[SPEAKER_06]: I'm Angie.
[SPEAKER_06]: That one.
[SPEAKER_06]: That's running away.
[SPEAKER_06]: That's taped.
[SPEAKER_00]: Is she quite all right?
[SPEAKER_06]: No.
[SPEAKER_06]: Probably not.
[SPEAKER_06]: Sorry, my head.
[SPEAKER_06]: It's so hurt.
[SPEAKER_06]: But um...
[SPEAKER_04]: I think there's some more of the countermeas in there.
[SPEAKER_04]: If you want to go and check.
[SPEAKER_06]: yeah um we can walk we can walk and talk um okay talking uh to it not a cat so okay you're not a cat you don't know what a cat is um what are you I am not from here
[SPEAKER_04]: And she scrunches up her nose and, like, the little tuffs off her glow is sort of deep red color for a moment before dissipating again.
[UNKNOWN]: Okay.
[SPEAKER_06]: Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah,
[SPEAKER_04]: Is that what your planet is called?
[SPEAKER_04]: New Mexico.
[SPEAKER_06]: No, no.
[SPEAKER_06]: I'm sure a lot of people think that it's kind of their whole world and the whole planet.
[SPEAKER_06]: But there is more to it.
[SPEAKER_06]: I swear.
[SPEAKER_06]: No, you're on Earth.
[SPEAKER_06]: Okay, or at least we call it eras.
[SPEAKER_06]: You might call it something different if you're not from here.
[SPEAKER_06]: Kind of like how, you know, like Germans call Germany, Deutschland, but we call it Germany.
[SPEAKER_06]: You know, like that?
[SPEAKER_06]: Sort of.
[SPEAKER_04]: No, I don't know, like that sort of thing.
[SPEAKER_04]: Unfortunately.
[SPEAKER_04]: Hmm.
[SPEAKER_04]: Um, do you want to go inside?
[SPEAKER_04]: Your friend looks very distressed.
[SPEAKER_06]: Yeah, yeah, let's see it.
[SPEAKER_06]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_02]: Mm-hmm.
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, you guys walk inside.
[SPEAKER_02]: I take your frantically looking for paper towels and water.
[SPEAKER_07]: Mm-hmm.
[SPEAKER_02]: The right level.
[SPEAKER_02]: That's the right level of response to this.
[SPEAKER_07]: you know sometimes you have to just go with the punches and these punches are extra terrestrial and fluffy so it'll totally be fine and I think like that is her thought process like coming back or like heading outwards and kind of meeting in the middle with the two of them haha so we this this is this is happening this this is happening right now
[SPEAKER_07]: This is Umbra.
[SPEAKER_05]: Hello.
[SPEAKER_07]: Hi, Umbra.
[SPEAKER_04]: When you're talking about what's happening, do you mean the fact that your radio frequency is disturbed the ones keeping me here?
[SPEAKER_07]: Is... Is that what's going on?
[SPEAKER_04]: as far as I can tell.
[SPEAKER_04]: And she sort of is tired of just having to look up.
[SPEAKER_04]: So she quickly jumps on top of a chair, jumps on top of a table, and then like just reposition herself so that she's sitting at a more comfortable eye level with both of them and just looks at them with very,
[SPEAKER_07]: Um, um, Brut.
[SPEAKER_07]: You're not some genetically modified ultra-rich persons cat.
[SPEAKER_07]: Are you?
[SPEAKER_04]: Um, well, I'm going to take a guess and say no, but only because I do not have the context to quite understand what it is that you mean.
[SPEAKER_06]: Okay.
[SPEAKER_06]: Umber doesn't know what a cat is.
[SPEAKER_07]: Okay.
[SPEAKER_07]: Well.
[SPEAKER_07]: here where we are, where we're from, earth, we have things like you, but not like you, like in your, and like, doesn't outline of, uh, like your general face and structure and everything, but they, they don't have, well, I guess, some, it depends on who you ask.
[SPEAKER_07]: It's just, um, I'm just not talking now.
[SPEAKER_07]: It, uh,
[SPEAKER_07]: It like goes the white-per-face.
[SPEAKER_04]: Um, I'm Roger's grow glows that same inquisitive green again, listening to Tate Speak.
[SPEAKER_04]: It's sort of a pulsing light, and then that dims when Tate sort of starts wiping her face.
[SPEAKER_06]: If you're not from here, where are you from?
[SPEAKER_06]: Well,
[SPEAKER_04]: As far as I'm aware, I am from a different planet, that's what I've gathered.
[SPEAKER_04]: I was brought here, I am very unfamiliar with the place and I also haven't been given my room to explore my surroundings.
[SPEAKER_06]: Are you a prisoner?
[SPEAKER_04]: Yes, I think so.
[SPEAKER_07]: Oh, don't you?
[SPEAKER_05]: No, you don't even know what I'm going to say.
[SPEAKER_07]: No, I don't have to know what you're about to say.
[SPEAKER_07]: I saw ET multiple times with you.
[SPEAKER_07]: It's a good movie.
[SPEAKER_07]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_07]: A movie.
[SPEAKER_07]: Fiction.
[SPEAKER_07]: This is not.
[SPEAKER_05]: Oh, it has some substance.
[SPEAKER_05]: We need to go.
[SPEAKER_07]: We.
[SPEAKER_05]: I'm brought.
[SPEAKER_07]: how do you propose we leave by walking oh no and I think like mid dot and remember everything that happened just now oh no oh no umbra as you sit here having this conversation you hear the
[SPEAKER_02]: the low rumble of, I mean, you know it at this point.
[SPEAKER_02]: It's the, the vehicles that typically, the people who come down and check on each drive.
[SPEAKER_02]: But there's about three of them, which is in typical.
[SPEAKER_02]: And they're roughly 10 miles away.
[SPEAKER_02]: They just entered the radio.
[SPEAKER_04]: The radio is, okay.
[SPEAKER_04]: Oh, um.
[SPEAKER_04]: Well, I don't think this is very good and there's sort of the sort of spots of first or to glow a sort of bright orange as she becomes quite nervous.
[SPEAKER_04]: I don't know if this is a very good time to mention it, but as you have previously pointed out, I am imprisoned here.
[SPEAKER_04]: I also happen to have some handlers who come into check up on me every so often.
[SPEAKER_04]: And they are more multitudinous than usual, I would say.
[SPEAKER_04]: I think we should leave from here, maybe?
[SPEAKER_04]: We can't go very far, but maybe, oh, do you have that radio?
[SPEAKER_04]: Could we take it out of your vehicle?
[SPEAKER_04]: It scrambled the...
[SPEAKER_04]: radioways.
[SPEAKER_06]: So, car radios don't really, they're not supposed to really come out.
[SPEAKER_06]: They do sometimes come out in various unfortunate circumstances in which your car gets broken into in the middle of the day.
[SPEAKER_04]: Okay, well if they were about 10 miles away.
[SPEAKER_04]: So, I think if you two do not want to be cool to hear with me in this place, either you two should leave or we all
[SPEAKER_07]: Oh, unfortunately, I guess you want to be carried or are you fine with walking?
[SPEAKER_07]: Uh, we're driving.
[SPEAKER_07]: I was talking to you.
[SPEAKER_07]: I was talking to the feline alien.
[SPEAKER_07]: She gets in the car.
[SPEAKER_07]: Oh, okay.
[SPEAKER_07]: I'm just going to...
[SPEAKER_07]: Please, could we just go?
[SPEAKER_06]: Uh, do you have things here?
[SPEAKER_06]: No, I do not.
[SPEAKER_04]: Perfect.
[SPEAKER_05]: Let's see, yeah, let's let's look out.
[SPEAKER_04]: Okay, I'm guessing we off we trot the car.
[SPEAKER_05]: To the car walk, yeah?
[SPEAKER_06]: No, to the car.
[SPEAKER_04]: Do we get to the cars?
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, you quickly get to the car.
[SPEAKER_02]: So a car moving well over 50 miles an hour.
[SPEAKER_02]: Covering 10 miles does not take very long.
[SPEAKER_02]: You hear they're so incredibly close.
[SPEAKER_06]: And we jump into the car, and you're starting the engine.
[SPEAKER_06]: Tate is manning the radio.
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, so you give the car a rolling.
[SPEAKER_02]: Can I get a brains for that radio?
[SPEAKER_02]: Just to see if you can remember what song was on before, what exactly were listening to before you ended up here?
[SPEAKER_07]: Oh boy.
[SPEAKER_02]: eight.
[SPEAKER_02]: Okay, so you're kind of flicking through trying to figure out which frequencies gonna work best, which song.
[SPEAKER_02]: We get some Madonna.
[SPEAKER_02]: There's just different things kind of clicking.
[SPEAKER_02]: You're struggling a bit.
[SPEAKER_02]: Umber would you like to try to help?
[SPEAKER_04]: I would love to try to help, even though I wasn't in the car.
[SPEAKER_04]: I'll just sort of try and figure out.
[SPEAKER_02]: It's more that you have an ear for frequencies.
[SPEAKER_04]: Yeah, yeah.
[SPEAKER_04]: Okay.
[SPEAKER_04]: I'll help.
[SPEAKER_04]: So do I also roll then?
[SPEAKER_02]: Uh, yeah.
[SPEAKER_02]: You can roll, Brandon.
[SPEAKER_04]: Oh, ain't that beautiful?
[SPEAKER_04]: It's too...
[SPEAKER_04]: I rolled a natural one on my D20.
[SPEAKER_02]: The two of you, oh, you get a token.
[SPEAKER_02]: Also, Angie and Tatum also got tokens for passing out earlier.
[SPEAKER_05]: Thank you.
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, the two of you were kind of fiddling with this and or maybe take your friendly with the numbers like, turn it left, turn it right.
[SPEAKER_02]: You know, you're like giving you like, you know, direction to try to see which station might work.
[SPEAKER_02]: You're driving kind of full full capacity.
[SPEAKER_02]: Pretty quickly you start to see cars behind you.
[SPEAKER_02]: They must have stopped, done a check.
[SPEAKER_02]: Saw there was no one there.
[SPEAKER_02]: And are immediately on their way after you.
[SPEAKER_02]: You're approaching that 10 mile portion.
[SPEAKER_02]: You're speeding towards it.
[SPEAKER_02]: I need grit rolls from everybody.
[SPEAKER_06]: Yeah, all right.
[SPEAKER_06]: OK.
[SPEAKER_06]: I'm very middle-ing, or old-a-seven.
[SPEAKER_06]: I rule to seven plus one that's an eight.
[SPEAKER_07]: And I wrote nothing because I'm scared.
[SPEAKER_07]: Real, a six.
[SPEAKER_02]: A six.
[SPEAKER_02]: Okay.
[SPEAKER_02]: So a seven, a six son and eight.
[SPEAKER_02]: you hit this energy, the wave is the radio here, the radio is here, full speed, and there's a moment where that numbness, that tingling, that like weight washes over you, but the speed it was you were moving your car, kind of pulls you through it, so you go completely like a sleep,
[SPEAKER_02]: body sort of locked and weighted as you're like holding onto the whale and you start to kind of veer off but you've made it out.
[SPEAKER_02]: Um, bro, you're the only one that's still up, but maybe it's likely you've been hit by this so many times.
[SPEAKER_02]: It, like, your resistance has been built up, and if, if not for the speed of the, the the propulsion, the metal here that you're inside of, you probably would have stopped there.
[SPEAKER_02]: Um, you hit a patch of a, of dirt and gravel and rock, and you're able to kind of veer yourself back onto the road, Angie, you're so, so tired, and your arms are so heavy.
[SPEAKER_02]: But you're out, you're still driving, or do you want to try this?
[SPEAKER_02]: Okay.
[SPEAKER_02]: Um, I'm not stopping, because I look into my rear view mirror.
[SPEAKER_02]: Give me a flight, please.
[SPEAKER_06]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_06]: Uh, that isn't it.
[SPEAKER_02]: Very good.
[SPEAKER_02]: You floor it.
[SPEAKER_02]: You get yourself back on the road and you guys are going full speed.
[SPEAKER_02]: Very quickly.
[SPEAKER_02]: There are these.
[SPEAKER_02]: It's a 1970 black core in that.
[SPEAKER_02]: And there's three of them and they're pretty, pretty comfortably on your tail.
[SPEAKER_02]: You're zooming.
[SPEAKER_02]: You're driving.
[SPEAKER_02]: Where do you want to go?
[SPEAKER_02]: What's the plan here for the three of you?
[SPEAKER_06]: I think, first of all, the thing that's zooming right along this road ahead of these pretty imposing chargers is this bright blue bug of a car, it's the most shape, just round car, it's not made for this, but we're going.
[SPEAKER_06]: I don't think Angie has much of a plan in the moment besides that we have to get away.
[SPEAKER_06]: We have a alien in the back seat, tape is out.
[SPEAKER_06]: I need to make sure that we get out of this.
[SPEAKER_06]: alive.
[SPEAKER_06]: So my plan is to lose them somehow, which isn't easy given that this is desert and you can see for miles.
[SPEAKER_06]: So the best place to lose them is probably in the city where I can duck into an alley of some sort.
[SPEAKER_02]: That sounds like a fantastic claim.
[SPEAKER_02]: Give me two more flight rules and while you do that, take You come back to and They're still on your tail, but you guys are out of it.
[SPEAKER_02]: Your head's thrumming again You guys are flying down this highway
[SPEAKER_07]: Uh, Tate is like those videos of people who are just completely overwhelmed on a roller coaster.
[SPEAKER_07]: Like, it is a swayed back and forth of consciousness and unconsciousness.
[SPEAKER_07]: And maybe around like the second, third time, uh, she's back up a little wide eye kind of frantic.
[SPEAKER_07]: Apparently, this wasn't a dream.
[SPEAKER_07]: Uh, she didn't wake up in her bed of the, uh, an hour or so before the trip.
[SPEAKER_07]: This is actually happening.
[SPEAKER_07]: It just opens a mouth, closes it, um, um, um, um, if there's anything you can do right now to help us help you, that would be fantastic.
[SPEAKER_04]: Umbra just sort of looks at you with her incredibly large, incredibly pupil-filled eyes.
[SPEAKER_04]: It's like, you look into her eyes for a moment to try to implore her to help somehow.
[SPEAKER_04]: And for a moment, and it's probably not helped by the fact that you've been unconscious three times.
[SPEAKER_04]: But for a moment, it feels like you're free falling.
[SPEAKER_04]: You look, it's a bit like, you know, when everyone says you look into the abyss and the abyss looks back into you.
[SPEAKER_04]: Except it's like you're pulled into the void and darkness of space, and it feels for a moment, like you're surrounded by that void before Umragos.
[SPEAKER_04]: Well, um, I was brought here.
[SPEAKER_04]: I don't have much direction to give you and that's what Adam I want to ask you, did they?
[SPEAKER_04]: How did they bring me here?
[SPEAKER_04]: Did I crack that I like?
[SPEAKER_04]: crash down on the planet somehow, do I know where I landed?
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, you go ahead and tell me, I think, so I definitely think that you ended up on Earth.
[SPEAKER_02]: Like, I don't think the Earth got you from anyway.
[SPEAKER_02]: I think you either crash landed or become to visit sort of thing.
[SPEAKER_02]: You tell me how and where do you need to send a message to your allies to pick you up?
[SPEAKER_02]: Do you need to just get to your ship and you'll be able to get on?
[SPEAKER_02]: What's going on with Umbrella?
[SPEAKER_04]: I think it's for sure a thing of umbrone needs to find a way to contact her people.
[SPEAKER_04]: I think their planet is a very distant one.
[SPEAKER_04]: The things that they are able to do are sort of far reaching.
[SPEAKER_04]: They are sort of...
[SPEAKER_04]: I want to say galaxy hopping creatures who tend to in the same breath be very much home bodies.
[SPEAKER_04]: Um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um
[SPEAKER_02]: to come and help her get back home amazing so you would know at least that either at the very least the people that you were with would have access to something that could transmit that or just given your general high level of intelligence you could probably put together that a larger structured radio and antenna would be able to help you do what you need to do
[SPEAKER_06]: Mm-hmm.
[SPEAKER_06]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_06]: Well that's great.
[SPEAKER_06]: I rolled a six and a three on my flight roll.
[SPEAKER_04]: Can I spend an action to get how much does she need to pass the flight rolls?
[SPEAKER_04]: Um, the can I know that?
[SPEAKER_04]: Because if I if it's gonna help I would want to spend one of my tokens to give her a plus two to one of her rolls.
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, I'll all at least spend an action talking to give it plus two to the six to make it pass.
[SPEAKER_02]: Okay, okay, okay, okay, yeah, so you at first they kind of begin, at this point they're approaching you.
[SPEAKER_02]: Their cars are moving quicker than yours.
[SPEAKER_02]: You veered off.
[SPEAKER_02]: You might have done some damage to the frame.
[SPEAKER_02]: You're getting caught up too.
[SPEAKER_02]: You just sort of like lock in and speed up.
[SPEAKER_02]: just enough to get into the city.
[SPEAKER_02]: They're still on you.
[SPEAKER_02]: They're on your tail.
[SPEAKER_02]: You're in the city, though.
[SPEAKER_02]: And you can now see a handful of them.
[SPEAKER_02]: One of them in the car directly behind you is the only one that's kind of going solo.
[SPEAKER_02]: There's no one else in their car with them.
[SPEAKER_02]: And it's she personally femme presenting.
[SPEAKER_02]: There's something uncanny about her, though.
[SPEAKER_02]: Full suit.
[SPEAKER_02]: Black loves.
[SPEAKER_02]: uncanny.
[SPEAKER_02]: You made it into the city, though.
[SPEAKER_02]: What do you want to do?
[SPEAKER_02]: What do you guys want to do?
[SPEAKER_06]: I want to lose though.
[SPEAKER_06]: I want to get into an alley or I imagine it's going to be much easier to lose them on foot.
[SPEAKER_06]: So I want to find somewhere that we can put the car, get out and book it essentially.
[SPEAKER_02]: Give me, you go and pitch me what you want to use to do this and then you explain to me how it works.
[SPEAKER_06]: Well, I would like to pitch my brains to you, um, I have spent a lot of time, uh, kind of being interested in Roswell because of my fascination with aliens and cryptids.
[SPEAKER_06]: So I've looked at maps of Roswell, specifically because people make those kind of novelty maps where you can see like,
[SPEAKER_06]: This is where this happened, and this is where this happened, this is where this happened, so I've spent so long looking at those maps that I know this city pretty well now, even if I haven't physically been here before, I know the roads, I know the streets, I know where there's a dark alley for me to go into.
[SPEAKER_06]: So rational, I just have to, I just have to roll all now.
[SPEAKER_02]: Why would you say it?
[SPEAKER_02]: Why would you say that?
[SPEAKER_02]: You got a token earlier for failing.
[SPEAKER_06]: So use your token to roll a natural one.
[SPEAKER_06]: I can use the to reroll.
[SPEAKER_06]: Well, I'll tell you what I did, really.
[SPEAKER_06]: It's a little crazy.
[SPEAKER_06]: Oh, it's a little crazy.
[SPEAKER_06]: Wow.
[SPEAKER_06]: Versus that.
[SPEAKER_06]: See, that's a perfectly acceptable 14.
[SPEAKER_02]: And I'll take that.
[SPEAKER_02]: So good.
[SPEAKER_02]: So you, I think, managed to kind of pull through a light right as like a truck was backing out.
[SPEAKER_02]: So you hear kind of the, of all the car stopping right before they hit a truck, you turn quickly down this little alley.
[SPEAKER_02]: If you made it to a point where they can't see you currently, they're still close, but you want to get out of the car, yes.
[SPEAKER_06]: Yes, yeah.
[SPEAKER_02]: All right.
[SPEAKER_06]: Okay, everybody out.
[SPEAKER_06]: Out.
[SPEAKER_06]: All right.
[SPEAKER_06]: Out of the car.
[SPEAKER_06]: We're going to walk, um, um, bra.
[SPEAKER_06]: you, you had to get here somehow, right?
[SPEAKER_06]: So, and you have a planet, do you have any way to reach out to them?
[SPEAKER_06]: Do you have any way to get off the planet?
[SPEAKER_04]: So, well, in as Fumitt words as possible, I think, um,
[SPEAKER_04]: not out of my own ability right now.
[SPEAKER_04]: I've been away from my planet and our energy sources for so long that I can't access the ways that I would usually be able to communicate with my fellow inhabitants across galaxies as normal so it would ever could amplify any psychic or even
[SPEAKER_04]: I would have to be psychic, but anything that could amplify communications, radio waves, telepathic waves, that could help me reach my people.
[SPEAKER_07]: Forgive me if this is crass, but are radio tower maybe?
[SPEAKER_07]: Like we have radio stations, but emit radio waves.
[SPEAKER_07]: Oh, would that work?
[SPEAKER_04]: Well, it's as good as shot as any.
[SPEAKER_04]: I don't want to try and use whatever devices the people who have been keeping me or have been using.
[SPEAKER_04]: I think that sounds terrifying.
[SPEAKER_07]: Okay, we can walk and talk.
[SPEAKER_07]: Come on.
[SPEAKER_06]: All right, let's go.
[SPEAKER_06]: There have to be local radio stations to Roswell.
[SPEAKER_06]: So they have to have access to a radio tower.
[SPEAKER_06]: So maybe we can, and I'm going to look around for a tourist, like, store, essentially, that, like, towns like these usually have quite a way you see, like, a bit of ducted question mark, and it's welcome to Roswell.
[SPEAKER_02]: And it's inside it's just like gray aliens,
[SPEAKER_06]: Perfect.
[SPEAKER_06]: Before we go into that store, I'm going to like look down at Umbra, who is currently glowing a kind of orange with nerves.
[SPEAKER_06]: Yes, that.
[SPEAKER_06]: Can you not do that?
[SPEAKER_06]: Do what?
[SPEAKER_06]: Sorry?
[SPEAKER_04]: Glow?
[SPEAKER_04]: It's part of my physiology.
[SPEAKER_07]: Okay.
[SPEAKER_04]: Okay.
[SPEAKER_07]: We can workshop that.
[SPEAKER_07]: No.
[SPEAKER_07]: I got it.
[SPEAKER_07]: And Kate is on the way, like, searching through the gift shop for, like, pet costumes.
[SPEAKER_07]: So maybe, like, or, like, baby clothes to put, um, on Britain.
[SPEAKER_06]: While you're doing that, I'm going to talk to Umbra again.
[SPEAKER_06]: So remember earlier, how take up like super freaked out when you said hi?
[SPEAKER_06]: Um, and I was like, oh, cats don't talk.
[SPEAKER_06]: Everybody else is going to think that you're a cat.
[SPEAKER_06]: So when we're around other people, maybe don't talk.
[SPEAKER_06]: Right.
[SPEAKER_06]: That loud.
[SPEAKER_04]: Out loud, mm-hmm.
[SPEAKER_06]: I don't know if you have another option.
[SPEAKER_04]: Well, my psychic abilities, as I said, I think I've been away from my own planet for way too long.
[SPEAKER_04]: If I tried to speak into your mind, right now, I might fall unconscious.
[SPEAKER_03]: I don't know what you're going to try that.
[SPEAKER_04]: All right.
[SPEAKER_06]: Well, then I shouldn't do it.
[SPEAKER_06]: Just, you know, the less attention we draw to ourselves while we're fugitists from the government, probably for the best.
[SPEAKER_04]: Okay.
[SPEAKER_04]: And she starts glowing a little brides are all right.
[SPEAKER_05]: It's going to be fine.
[SPEAKER_05]: We're going to get you home.
[SPEAKER_05]: I hope so.
[SPEAKER_04]: You're going to be okay and sort of on Resort's looking into this door to see if she can see where Tate has gone Disappeared into the store try to follow behind
[SPEAKER_02]: Hey, you managed to get in and quickly, you find it's like it's a costume for a dog I think it's one of those like over like overcuts like Velcro's under their belly But it's like it's a gray alien.
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, you can't really find one of those you like walking It's like oh hello there They do like the little of the sign is like welcome to our planet
[SPEAKER_07]: Yeah, um, I just need this please.
[SPEAKER_07]: Also, my radio is a little weird.
[SPEAKER_07]: Do you know what stations are picked up here?
[SPEAKER_07]: Do you have any radio stations?
[SPEAKER_02]: Oh, yeah.
[SPEAKER_02]: We have all kinds of radio stations.
[SPEAKER_02]: What are you looking for?
[SPEAKER_02]: We've got AM stuff.
[SPEAKER_02]: Mostly AM.
[SPEAKER_02]: We have
[SPEAKER_02]: lately.
[SPEAKER_07]: That's really interesting.
[SPEAKER_07]: You know, how about a little column A, a column B, A, M, F, M, on bisexual?
[SPEAKER_07]: I think I can do both.
[SPEAKER_02]: Oh, love everywhere.
[SPEAKER_02]: You know, I don't have every on every planet.
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_02]: So what radio stations do you want me to answer like writing down like you see now like he doesn't know what to do So he's just writing down radio stations offered awkward.
[SPEAKER_07]: Um, I think
[SPEAKER_07]: She'll ask for like just pop country just almost every genre as long as she can get both station types My both frequencies is easy.
[SPEAKER_02]: Okay.
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, he's able to put he drops down a couple of different station types pop country And then he also writes down like a couple of like shows that are like local like shows right.
[SPEAKER_02]: It was like, oh, like, you know FM 291 and it's like You know the variety show and things like that.
[SPEAKER_02]: So he writes all that stuff down and he heads over to you and he's like
[SPEAKER_02]: Uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, you so you guys are I believe you're you're saying your embrow was heading towards the Yeah, yeah, as you get out you see this partially glowing cat be getting to make it's a way out of the alley You now see also walking across this alley you do see that the cars have parked and they're all empty So you can recognize that they're on foot pursuing you
[SPEAKER_07]: God, ya.
[SPEAKER_02]: Or I just building checking.
[SPEAKER_02]: All right.
[SPEAKER_07]: Umbra, I do apologize for this, but you cannot be a mood ring right now and just scoops them up and like wrangles them into the gray costume, or pulls a little hoodie down on, so like the eyes are like bolting instead of their face, and alien dress is an alien.
[SPEAKER_04]: Umbra, I'm perfect.
[SPEAKER_04]: And do you want this?
[SPEAKER_04]: Umbra, and do you want this?
[SPEAKER_04]: Valiently.
[SPEAKER_04]: Oh my god.
[SPEAKER_02]: Wow.
[SPEAKER_02]: That's beautiful.
[SPEAKER_04]: So did you find the radio stations?
[SPEAKER_07]: Yes, I did.
[SPEAKER_07]: I got a couple of stations here or there and then we can just, I think, looks at Angie.
[SPEAKER_06]: Are there any, when you were in the shop, did you get the name of any like shows, maybe local, local shows?
[SPEAKER_07]: Oh yeah, and it just gives them the piece of paper.
[SPEAKER_06]: I'm looking for an alien show.
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, there's a thing.
[SPEAKER_06]: I'm looking for sympathizers right now.
[SPEAKER_06]: It's what I'm looking for.
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, there's one that's called Stay True Roswell and it's listed as a show after the truth.
[SPEAKER_02]: We know the aliens are out there.
[SPEAKER_02]: We just want to make contact.
[SPEAKER_02]: That's all.
[SPEAKER_06]: Okay, guys, I know where we're going.
[SPEAKER_06]: Which one did you pick?
[SPEAKER_06]: stay true Roswell.
[SPEAKER_06]: It's a class that you can, okay, okay.
[SPEAKER_06]: No, I think I'm going to let's go for some slide.
[SPEAKER_07]: I apologize, we are in a completely different situation, I can't be as skeptic this time.
[SPEAKER_06]: Let's go.
[SPEAKER_06]: Yeah, I think the one thing that Angie grabs from the car before we finally leave my beautiful bug behind is a map like a proper like proper map, proper map.
[SPEAKER_06]: Just so we don't, you know, get completely lost.
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, you grab this map.
[SPEAKER_02]: I'm gonna go and need a brain roll from a tape and Angie to make sure that you can follow this map appropriately.
[SPEAKER_04]: I'm brought looks deeply uncomfortable and it's like walking with their poles way too wide like their legs are like they're like errrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr
[SPEAKER_06]: I rolled a 13 by the way.
[SPEAKER_07]: Are all the 16?
[SPEAKER_06]: Oh, smashing.
[SPEAKER_02]: The two of you are able to pretty quickly maneuver through this place.
[SPEAKER_02]: I'm going to need just each of you to give me two flight roles.
[SPEAKER_02]: and they all need to be over a threshold of six.
[SPEAKER_02]: Anything under six will be a failure, and if we have more than half failures, you will get recognized by an enemy.
[SPEAKER_04]: My one isn't 11, and my other one's a three.
[SPEAKER_02]: Okay, so that's one in one.
[SPEAKER_06]: Now, so my first one was a six, my, no, no, my first one was a one, my second one was a six.
[SPEAKER_06]: It's also one and one.
[SPEAKER_07]: Now, what if our roles add up to six?
[SPEAKER_07]: Oh, I had a two and a four.
[SPEAKER_02]: Okay, I will point out that you notably do currently have a token if you want to use that for a
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, so you guys are kind of dipping in between like buildings and alleys and streets just trying to make it kind of across like halfway across town to get to this radio station and you quite pointedly bump face to face like into an agent fully, you know, a full suit tie black gloves.
[SPEAKER_02]: This is not the person that you'd bumped into previously or that was behind
[SPEAKER_02]: want to have a large kind of tan leather briefcase on them.
[SPEAKER_02]: They're like, look at you funny.
[SPEAKER_02]: They just look you up and down.
[SPEAKER_02]: They look at your, uh, your, your animal is an alien.
[SPEAKER_02]: They haven't made you in this moment.
[SPEAKER_02]: Okay.
[SPEAKER_02]: What do you want to do?
[SPEAKER_05]: Oh, excuse me.
[SPEAKER_05]: Sorry.
[SPEAKER_02]: Oh, um, no excuse me.
[SPEAKER_02]: Have you seen a blue bug around the car, not an animal?
[SPEAKER_07]: Oh, um, no.
[SPEAKER_07]: No.
[SPEAKER_07]: Um, I haven't, and honestly, I hate them.
[SPEAKER_07]: It's such a tacky color with an already tacky car.
[SPEAKER_07]: I try to avoid them.
[SPEAKER_02]: Honestly, I can't even lie to you.
[SPEAKER_02]: It was quite a tacky car and quite a tacky car.
[SPEAKER_02]: Oh, I can't imagine terrible driver.
[SPEAKER_02]: Carable driver.
[SPEAKER_02]: They veered off the road multiple times.
[SPEAKER_02]: It was really unfortunate.
[SPEAKER_07]: Yeah, I don't think anyone who had proper brain functions would have a car like that to begin with.
[SPEAKER_07]: That is just me.
[SPEAKER_02]: I agree with you.
[SPEAKER_02]: Cute dog, mind if I pet, he sounds like it's bleeding.
[SPEAKER_07]: Oh, 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, no, no, no, no, no, no,
[SPEAKER_06]: Oh, she's very loyal, very good dog.
[SPEAKER_06]: She doesn't leave our sides, but we're trying to get her acclimated to more stimuli, you know, how it is.
[SPEAKER_06]: Something like a leash would make her feel really restricted.
[SPEAKER_06]: Trapped and uncomfortable, really restricted.
[SPEAKER_06]: You know, this is her comfort costume.
[SPEAKER_06]: I get that, but so.
[SPEAKER_02]: Comfort costume, the alien costume.
[SPEAKER_06]: Comfort costume.
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, I was like, something's given just how dangerous they are.
[SPEAKER_02]: can't be a lot of certain comforts.
[SPEAKER_02]: And unfortunately, for a lot of things that's true, sometimes you have to keep things certain places.
[SPEAKER_06]: Yeah, that sounds true.
[SPEAKER_02]: I need both of you guys to give me some kind of role here to see how efficiently you're handling this.
[SPEAKER_02]: Pitch to me what role you use to try to convince the sky that it's just that you're dogged at bites.
[SPEAKER_02]: And then you don't know the blue bug.
[SPEAKER_05]: I'm trying, I'm trying, I'm okay.
[SPEAKER_05]: Maybe, I'm trying.
[SPEAKER_05]: I'm just such a nice, perfectly normal young girl.
[SPEAKER_02]: Right, yeah.
[SPEAKER_05]: Who loves her dog?
[SPEAKER_05]: I like it.
[SPEAKER_07]: Can I take, can I argue brains?
[SPEAKER_07]: Cause I am kind of be smart about this.
[SPEAKER_02]: You are, and you're very pointedly, not not super lying.
[SPEAKER_02]: You're like, off the skating that's truth by talking shit about your friend, which is very funny to me.
[SPEAKER_06]: Yeah, that's what friends do.
[SPEAKER_06]: Andrius, like, on the verge of tears.
[SPEAKER_07]: I got a 12.
[SPEAKER_06]: That is a 9.
[SPEAKER_02]: Well, okay, you three be safe.
[SPEAKER_02]: Please be careful with your biting dog, not on a leash.
[SPEAKER_02]: Well, invest in a harness or something.
[SPEAKER_02]: That's probably a good idea.
[SPEAKER_02]: Also, stand look out for a bug.
[SPEAKER_02]: If you need anything, or you see one going to get me a call on your hands, you like a little card, and see you later.
[SPEAKER_06]: We're just gonna walk away, no, no, we're just gonna walk.
[SPEAKER_02]: Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh,
[SPEAKER_04]: Well, we should go in, shouldn't we?
[SPEAKER_04]: I'm like, put like, dips their head down to the head of the costume, just like covers their entire face.
[SPEAKER_06]: I think it's you said it's like a shack right so it is a building but like for like a radio station it's a shack like it's okay okay okay okay um it does it look like this is the sort of building where I need like a key card or anything to watch I can just okay we just go back it
[SPEAKER_02]: It is, it is just a door.
[SPEAKER_02]: If it's unlocked, you're going to be able to walk in.
[SPEAKER_02]: You pull on it.
[SPEAKER_02]: It opens.
[SPEAKER_02]: You walk in.
[SPEAKER_02]: Back there.
[SPEAKER_02]: You see that there's like a front desk where someone should be working.
[SPEAKER_02]: There's no one there.
[SPEAKER_02]: And you just hear someone in the background.
[SPEAKER_02]: It's kind of talking like,
[SPEAKER_02]: I'm telling you, there's aliens out there, and you know, I know we think they have these big eyes and big great heads, but I think that they look more like animals that we see in like old portraits.
[SPEAKER_02]: So like you know how like the Egyptians revered cats, I think that there's probably like cat aliens.
[SPEAKER_02]: And there's cat aliens, there's dog aliens, and there's dog aliens, there's human aliens that had dog aliens as pets.
[SPEAKER_02]: Probably wolf aliens, honestly.
[SPEAKER_02]: You know those werewolves they talk about
[SPEAKER_02]: Ben, it's an alien, and it's this guy just, we're happening on an alien, and for a moment, it's like, oh, shit, he's like on the track he figured it out, and then he just jumpship to something completely nonsense.
[SPEAKER_02]: Also, no way the Aztecs built those.
[SPEAKER_02]: That's too hard for anyone to do.
[SPEAKER_02]: Probably aliens.
[SPEAKER_05]: Well, and back that later, right?
[SPEAKER_05]: Well, well, and back that later, you know, maybe we should just turn
[SPEAKER_02]: and the government, the government try to cover up aliens because they don't want us to be free.
[SPEAKER_02]: You see, so I believe in our freedom and the government try to keep us down, but they use alien tech every day.
[SPEAKER_02]: How do you think I'm talking to you now?
[SPEAKER_02]: You think humans figured out radio waves?
[SPEAKER_02]: No.
[SPEAKER_02]: Aliens did top the government government taught us we have radio waves.
[SPEAKER_02]: I'm just saying I'm just saying, you know, maybe we should We for this is good.
[SPEAKER_06]: Is anything.
[SPEAKER_04]: Yeah, I'm sure that won't take very long, which aliens torture government to bad radio waves.
[SPEAKER_06]: I really couldn't tell you
[SPEAKER_02]: Well, I got to visit the little saucer's room.
[SPEAKER_02]: So I'll be back, and you can kind of just the odd air thing.
[SPEAKER_02]: Boom, dims.
[SPEAKER_02]: Uh, and then you just kind of hear like, just elevate your music playing in between.
[SPEAKER_02]: Um, and he gets up and he walks out and says, Oh, whoa, people in a dog get.
[SPEAKER_02]: Hi.
[SPEAKER_06]: Big fans of your show, we think we've got something that could really interest you specifically.
[SPEAKER_02]: Do you have some of the kish- Mm-hmm.
[SPEAKER_02]: Do you have perhaps photos of aliens?
[SPEAKER_04]: I'll do your one better.
[SPEAKER_04]: This is a point where I start talking now.
[SPEAKER_04]: Yeah, this would be great.
[SPEAKER_02]: Great.
[SPEAKER_02]: Did your cat just talk?
[SPEAKER_06]: Mm-hmm, not a cat.
[SPEAKER_02]: I'm gonna lift it, I'm gonna lift it, I'm gonna lift it, I'm gonna lift it, I'm gonna lift it, I'm gonna lift it up, I'm gonna lift it up, I'm gonna lift it up, I'm gonna lift it up, I'm gonna lift it up, I'm gonna lift it up, I'm gonna lift it up, I'm gonna lift it up, I'm gonna lift it up, I'm gonna lift it up, I'm gonna lift it up, I'm gonna lift it up, I'm gonna lift it up, I'm gonna lift it up, I'm gonna lift it up, I'm gonna lift it up, I'm gonna lift it up, I'm gonna lift it up, I'm gonna lift it up, I'm gonna lift it up, I'm gonna lift it up, I'm gonna lift it up, I'm gonna lift it up, I'm gonna lift it up, I'm gonna lift it up, I'm gonna lift it up, I'm gonna lift it up, I'm gonna lift
[SPEAKER_01]: Is that a real alien?
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_01]: Is it mine controlling you?
[SPEAKER_01]: No.
[SPEAKER_01]: I feel why it made the pyramid.
[SPEAKER_04]: I don't think it did that.
[SPEAKER_04]: My planet is completely subsumed in darkness and forest.
[SPEAKER_04]: Are you trying to, are you trying to call my mind?
[SPEAKER_04]: I don't know how to do that.
[SPEAKER_01]: Um, what do you think of here?
[SPEAKER_04]: Access to, we made your tower.
[SPEAKER_04]: The tower.
[SPEAKER_01]: Um, yeah, do whatever you want.
[SPEAKER_01]: Just please, I'm gonna say anything here.
[SPEAKER_01]: Before you leave, if you could sign an autograph, like a photo of me or something, that'd be really cool.
[SPEAKER_01]: If you whatever you want, and then leave, please, and thank you.
[SPEAKER_07]: I don't have hands.
[SPEAKER_01]: I could help her to hide an autograph.
[SPEAKER_04]: I will get it done.
[SPEAKER_04]: Don't worry.
[SPEAKER_04]: I mean, I think the closest approximation I would have would be the tentacles, but those only come out during mating season.
[SPEAKER_04]: And I'm so far away from mating season right now.
[SPEAKER_07]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_07]: I could have went my whole life.
[SPEAKER_06]: We'll just do like a, we'll do like a paw print.
[SPEAKER_06]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_06]: I didn't need to hear that.
[SPEAKER_06]: pop.
[SPEAKER_04]: And like they sort of try in the in this little suit.
[SPEAKER_04]: And it's like the most awkward tells of lift thing ever.
[SPEAKER_04]: They look very disgruntled.
[SPEAKER_06]: Are there toe beans?
[SPEAKER_04]: There are, there are little toe beans there.
[SPEAKER_04]: But they're like, okay, I
[SPEAKER_04]: They, it looks like there are hooks that are sort of pronounced under under like soft flesh.
[SPEAKER_04]: It looks like there are like tiny little hooks beneath them as you're examining the tobeens, the door swings open.
[SPEAKER_02]: Umbra, almost, uh, you almost got away.
[SPEAKER_02]: Your guys are so clever.
[SPEAKER_02]: I figured, um, and the two you can see, it is the uncanny looking woman.
[SPEAKER_02]: Um, as you look at her, I would like some kind of role from the two of you to catch, to catch the vibe of her.
[SPEAKER_06]: Brain, I'm falling brains, because
[SPEAKER_06]: I've looked at many and uncanny thing in my room.
[SPEAKER_02]: It's true, yeah, it's true.
[SPEAKER_06]: This is my area.
[SPEAKER_06]: I am very scared, though.
[SPEAKER_07]: I get an adversity token.
[SPEAKER_02]: 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, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no,
[SPEAKER_02]: their eyes are just wrong, almost constant like the people and in iris are almost in constant motion, just like reforming and forming and almost kaleidoscope-esque.
[SPEAKER_02]: Anyways, it's a pleasure to meet you too, here's my card, and they slide it to you, and so you see that it is labeled A-O-E in all caps, like with periods, like a short hand for something, and then it is Agent Renella Marina.
[SPEAKER_02]: I'm just visiting a couple times.
[SPEAKER_02]: I kind of figured that you were going to go somewhere to send a message.
[SPEAKER_02]: Roll the die.
[SPEAKER_02]: I did check two places before here, so.
[SPEAKER_02]: I'm just unlucky.
[SPEAKER_04]: Ambrose Tale, like you can't see the fur on their back because they're still in the costume, but their tails puffed up the way I cat is when it's scared and her back is a little bit arched and she's sort of backing off into the side to get behind Tate to not be in full view of this agent.
[SPEAKER_02]: You could also just let me go.
[SPEAKER_02]: Right, I could.
[SPEAKER_02]: You wanna know what A.O.E.
[SPEAKER_02]: stands for, guys?
[SPEAKER_02]: Do you, are you curious?
[SPEAKER_06]: Yeah, I'm so curious.
[SPEAKER_02]: You seem like the curious type because why would you take a talking cat out of somewhere?
[SPEAKER_02]: Does that make sense to you?
[SPEAKER_02]: Does that seem safe?
[SPEAKER_07]: I'm right close, Orange.
[SPEAKER_07]: To be fair, we work kind of caught in the loop by mistake and in anything this is a government failing by far.
[SPEAKER_02]: Oh, certainly, but that's the fun part about my job because I'm clean up crew and so every now and again the government we make a small mistake my boss is making a small mistake somebody gets their stupid blue bug through something and steals an alien cat from somewhere and I cleaned it up.
[SPEAKER_06]: Hang on, spain sent me into my bug.
[SPEAKER_02]: it's an ugly car.
[SPEAKER_02]: I'm sorry.
[SPEAKER_02]: Anyways, I do the cleaning and in that, well, I'm asset and obstacle eradication.
[SPEAKER_02]: Obstacles eradication.
[SPEAKER_06]: Yeah, I don't like that last word.
[SPEAKER_06]: Do you like that last word?
[SPEAKER_07]: No, I thought it was area of effect to be honest.
[SPEAKER_06]: Yeah, me too.
[SPEAKER_02]: You know, frankly, I did have that same gripe with it when I joined, but what can I do?
[SPEAKER_02]: Anyways.
[SPEAKER_02]: What's your plan here?
[SPEAKER_06]: The plan, the plan, right, my plan, my plan, my plan would be to leave this planet and to never come back with that suit you.
[SPEAKER_02]: It would.
[SPEAKER_04]: So can I?
[SPEAKER_02]: Can you?
[SPEAKER_02]: Is that something your cable will love?
[SPEAKER_02]: I was going to try before you insinuated violence on me and the two people who removed me from my prison The thing is, is that that violence is my job, so I'm employed, really good at it, make it things disappear It seems like it One of their eyes moves and looks at you
[SPEAKER_06]: Okay, um, look, you know, you've said you checked to other places before this.
[SPEAKER_06]: You could just say you didn't find anything at the third place either.
[SPEAKER_02]: That's true.
[SPEAKER_02]: I could do that.
[SPEAKER_05]: You know, Umbera goes home, we go home, and all of us just forget this ever happened.
[SPEAKER_02]: Forget.
[SPEAKER_02]: I like that.
[SPEAKER_02]: So, so I. Oh, yeah.
[SPEAKER_05]: Why did you say that?
[SPEAKER_05]: Sorry, sidebar.
[SPEAKER_05]: Wait.
[SPEAKER_05]: I don't know.
[SPEAKER_07]: I don't know.
[SPEAKER_02]: Oh, it's, I can't do whatever I want.
[SPEAKER_02]: I'm way beyond oversight.
[SPEAKER_02]: I, I don't really even have a boss.
[SPEAKER_02]: I just drive around to the car.
[SPEAKER_02]: I do mostly what I want.
[SPEAKER_02]: Everyone's why I had to check on the cat.
[SPEAKER_07]: Um, I do have a question.
[SPEAKER_02]: Oh, go on.
[SPEAKER_07]: Are you some are interning possibly that does some like a good job?
[SPEAKER_04]: Hold on, I have to, I have a question.
[SPEAKER_04]: The other agent said that um... creatures capable of violence should be leashed otherwise it would be a danger to everyone around them um... where's your leash do you need one i don't need a leash because what i do matters i'm not just some animal running around anyways
[SPEAKER_02]: And I hate having to be on this track because I have to deal with the cat.
[SPEAKER_02]: So I'll make you a barter.
[SPEAKER_04]: I'm not a cat.
[SPEAKER_02]: You do your little escape plan.
[SPEAKER_02]: The cat leaves.
[SPEAKER_02]: I wipe your mind entirely.
[SPEAKER_02]: And I don't kill any of you, and I get to avoid killing teenagers today.
[SPEAKER_07]: counter argument.
[SPEAKER_07]: Go on.
[SPEAKER_07]: We do help.
[SPEAKER_07]: Um, believe.
[SPEAKER_07]: We keep our memories.
[SPEAKER_02]: Right.
[SPEAKER_02]: Okay.
[SPEAKER_07]: And we shut up forever.
[SPEAKER_02]: Okay.
[SPEAKER_02]: Counter counter argument.
[SPEAKER_07]: Okay.
[SPEAKER_02]: Um, I opened this little briefcase I have here.
[SPEAKER_02]: Um, it scrambles your brains almost immediately and then I have roughly an hour maybe more before someone comes someone else comes in here to dismember you and get rid of the pieces.
[SPEAKER_07]: Okay, I see, and then one last final.
[SPEAKER_07]: So pretty compelling counter counter counter counter counter.
[SPEAKER_07]: Right, we do, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes.
[SPEAKER_07]: Of course, Umbra, it's it's safe in this.
[SPEAKER_07]: Uh, you erase one of us, dealer's choice, and then the other shuts up forever.
[SPEAKER_07]: And gets that internship, or goes as an intern, because I was actually interested in the internship.
[SPEAKER_02]: counter to the counter to my counter countering the original argument last last one here okay okay then continue your final thing you saved the day you have a moment of setting a message you say goodbye to Umbra Umbra it goes away ever it doesn't come back because if they do well I'll do what I do I erase your memories and then I put in a word to check your
[SPEAKER_02]: grades and histories and your compatibility with the departments and see if there's any way that one or two of you could get an offer or an interest and then we can maybe give you access to your wife to memories again if you earn it through rising through the ranks beyond being like some scrub who drives around and like picks up leftover alien dung right deal.
[SPEAKER_02]: Awesome.
[SPEAKER_07]: Look, it can be either one of us.
[SPEAKER_07]: Look, this is your thing.
[SPEAKER_07]: And then once we forget and one of us comes back and remembers, we can scrap.
[SPEAKER_07]: Look at our something.
[SPEAKER_07]: I don't know.
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, we usually don't hire fanatics.
[SPEAKER_02]: They're weird of that guy that's hiding in the back.
[SPEAKER_02]: That I can hear breathing rapidly.
[SPEAKER_02]: We have scrambled his brain like 20 dives.
[SPEAKER_06]: Our counter counter argument also includes not killing him.
[SPEAKER_02]: Bye.
[SPEAKER_02]: I guess no blood today.
[SPEAKER_02]: Sorry.
[SPEAKER_02]: Can you guys roll, uh, charm and brain.
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_02]: Exactly.
[SPEAKER_02]: The better.
[SPEAKER_02]: Whatever one's better for you.
[SPEAKER_07]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_07]: I think I can brain.
[SPEAKER_07]: Think of brains.
[SPEAKER_07]: I was so we're both brain.
[SPEAKER_07]: We can breathe.
[SPEAKER_06]: Oh, yeah.
[SPEAKER_06]: We're a brain heavy.
[SPEAKER_06]: We are here.
[SPEAKER_06]: I grilled 17.
[SPEAKER_07]: I'm all the 14, which I want to make a 15 from the MRC day.
[SPEAKER_02]: The two of you roll a 17 and a 15.
[SPEAKER_02]: Well, you know, to keep me honest, I'll take that deal.
[SPEAKER_05]: Okay.
[SPEAKER_02]: You want to do, you want to do a good buy stuff.
[SPEAKER_05]: Oh, do you have to be here for that?
[SPEAKER_02]: Um, I guess not, but if you try to leave without asking me, you're running aside me out.
[SPEAKER_02]: I'll do the other thing.
[SPEAKER_02]: So, I'll be outside.
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, I'll be outside.
[SPEAKER_06]: Uh-huh, definitely.
[SPEAKER_06]: Yep.
[SPEAKER_02]: Uh-huh.
[SPEAKER_05]: Oh, wait.
[SPEAKER_05]: I know you're well.
[SPEAKER_07]: Oh.
[SPEAKER_04]: Well, that went well.
[SPEAKER_04]: Okay.
[SPEAKER_07]: Surprisingly.
[SPEAKER_06]: You really, that was very risky.
[SPEAKER_06]: You really, oh, now you're on to me for being risky.
[SPEAKER_07]: The road trip, uh, this is your fault.
[SPEAKER_07]: When we forget, I remember that it was your fault.
[SPEAKER_06]: Okay.
[SPEAKER_06]: Well, you can remember that I'm going to remember that we rescued an alien together.
[SPEAKER_06]: No, you won't.
[SPEAKER_06]: You won't.
[SPEAKER_08]: I would rather.
[SPEAKER_06]: I'm going to remember that you're my best friend in the world.
[SPEAKER_06]: Oh, nice.
[SPEAKER_06]: And no one, I would rather be on this trip with than you are just all true.
[SPEAKER_07]: I would love to forget things with positive.
[SPEAKER_07]: That I meant that in a good way.
[SPEAKER_07]: If there was an admission, I would forget, at least it would be with you.
[SPEAKER_04]: Um, um, bro, can I please take off a suit now?
[SPEAKER_06]: Yeah, I'm really sorry about that, um, I'm glad you get to go home.
[SPEAKER_06]: Um, we'll see.
[SPEAKER_06]: And, you know, I know we're going to forget about you.
[SPEAKER_06]: But, um, if you could remember us, that would be nice.
[SPEAKER_06]: I'm sure I would do.
[SPEAKER_06]: I would sign, um, right, the pop at, yes, maybe, yeah, and a couple for us, maybe more for you.
[SPEAKER_07]: Oh.
[SPEAKER_06]: Oh.
[SPEAKER_07]: Oh.
[SPEAKER_03]: Oh.
[SPEAKER_07]: Oh.
[SPEAKER_04]: Oh.
[SPEAKER_07]: Oh.
[UNKNOWN]: Oh.
[SPEAKER_07]: Oh.
[SPEAKER_04]: Oh.
[SPEAKER_07]: Oh.
[UNKNOWN]: Oh.
[UNKNOWN]: Oh
[SPEAKER_04]: sure I think I mean I don't know if he has like I know in the 80s they probably still use those ink pads that you can like I don't know if they if they would have like curious stamps like oh you visit the the shack so you get it like I'm so curious to have a hundred percent yeah
[SPEAKER_04]: Then I think Abra will, after freeing herself from the confines of the alien costume, make like press her pose into that ink pad and press it on some pieces of whatever they give to her to press it on so that they have her little hooked paw prints in there on their ink.
[SPEAKER_04]: um, before I think it's like those tourists, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah yeah, yeah
[SPEAKER_04]: that he was using to broadcast Emma Zooming.
[SPEAKER_04]: And she'll go to sit there, and then she'll be like, and she starts glowing a sort of magenta color with anticipation, there's little gray spots lighting up, old magenta, and she says, well, if one of you could tune the frequency,
[SPEAKER_04]: help me use this device, maybe I can contact my family, my people?
[SPEAKER_07]: Yeah, yeah, yeah.
[SPEAKER_04]: Do you have to make a brain's role?
[SPEAKER_04]: Do you want to hear the correct frequency?
[SPEAKER_04]: Do you want a tune?
[SPEAKER_07]: I'll take the tuning.
[SPEAKER_06]: I rolled eight, 12.
[SPEAKER_06]: I rolled an 18, 15.
[SPEAKER_06]: 15.
[SPEAKER_02]: There you go.
[SPEAKER_02]: 15, 18, and 12 is so good.
[SPEAKER_02]: The three of you kind of in tandem work on this thing, and you're able to access and kind of send off a frequency that might be of note, and you kind of just have to hope that they hear it, right?
[SPEAKER_04]: Like, yeah.
[SPEAKER_04]: I use the remainder of whatever psychic abilities that I have that I've been sort of storing up.
[SPEAKER_04]: Even though I have, I've been suffering prolonged separation from my own planet and atmosphere.
[SPEAKER_04]: Um, I use the remaining energy I have to send a sort of use the radio signals radio ways and frequencies to sync send that amplify that signal of mine.
[SPEAKER_04]: I got a little homing device to where I am, um, and I send that off.
[SPEAKER_04]: I'm very hopeful that I will be heard.
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, so, kind of a beat goes by.
[SPEAKER_02]: Um, Ratella walks in.
[SPEAKER_02]: I was like, okay.
[SPEAKER_02]: Um, I'm bra with me.
[SPEAKER_02]: You three.
[SPEAKER_02]: Well, you two in the guy in the closet stay here.
[SPEAKER_02]: I just called for them.
[SPEAKER_02]: They're going to go into wipe your minds.
[SPEAKER_02]: I told them I killed you.
[SPEAKER_02]: So you guys try to act a little bit devastated before they get in here.
[SPEAKER_02]: You I guess just hide out in the alleys or something until I yeah, I don't care.
[SPEAKER_02]: I don't care what you do Don't show your face or anything.
[SPEAKER_02]: Don't let people see you.
[SPEAKER_02]: I'll kill you.
[SPEAKER_02]: That's stuff.
[SPEAKER_02]: Thanks for letting me get out of New Mexico I've been dying to get on the road So I guess I'll be seeing you guys probably never if I'm being honest
[SPEAKER_04]: Um, I think Amra, like when she has to say her goodbye, she does that little cat, the classic cat thinks twice her way through both Tate and Angie's legs, um, kind of bumper little head
[SPEAKER_04]: Hope and happiness glowing a those little gray spots and the tips of our ears are glowing that a little soft yellow glow Um as she says goodbye to her Newfound friends and saviors From the radio wave prison.
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, um you kind of see it for off just around surely it shouldn't take too long for your Your planet to come get you
[SPEAKER_04]: I think it's this sort of, so what happens, no one's there to see, but what happens is there's this sort of purpleish tear.
[SPEAKER_04]: It looks like a tear in space that sort of appears and then
[SPEAKER_04]: slowly tears itself apart and the inside is inky black darkness and star lights and out of it steps another cat that looks identical to umbra the same dark fur, same gray spots and umbra doesn't speak to this other cat, cat that's not a cat, instead the little lights
[SPEAKER_04]: little spots in their fur that light up with colors are enough to communicate thoughts and feelings and emotions, and together they step through this tear in space and are off.
[SPEAKER_02]: You maybe maybe like an hour after everything they went down you kind of get to go home.
[SPEAKER_02]: The two of you along with the owner of the radio station kind of just stand there and waiting is like three different agents coming to like, sorry you had to see your friend diet, really his bummer.
[SPEAKER_02]: I read a caption team is too much for me.
[SPEAKER_02]: It makes my stomach squeezy just talking about it.
[SPEAKER_02]: So I am it's very unfortunate that you guys had to see that.
[SPEAKER_02]: I can't believe you got past me.
[SPEAKER_02]: I'm like, you know, I, the cat, the alien walk right past me.
[SPEAKER_02]: I don't know.
[SPEAKER_02]: That's, I don't want to wipe you guys memories.
[SPEAKER_02]: It's hilarious.
[SPEAKER_02]: Anyways, you could, no, no, I have to.
[SPEAKER_02]: I'm so scared of her.
[SPEAKER_02]: And I know she left a little bit ago.
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.
[UNKNOWN]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_02]: I had to try.
[SPEAKER_02]: No, I respect it.
[SPEAKER_02]: Um, I did hear she did tell one of the other guys to go ahead and look look into y'all.
[SPEAKER_02]: So, you know, maybe you get lucky.
[SPEAKER_02]: Maybe you're just kind of you seem like a fanatic though.
[SPEAKER_02]: I don't think they're going to hate your line honestly.
[SPEAKER_02]: This guy is probably like my like 15th time scrambling this guy's brand So I think he's on like number 50 honestly Anyways, does that have any like permanent effect?
[SPEAKER_02]: Well you heard him talk?
[SPEAKER_02]: So let's go ahead and get this going and he opens up this little briefcase and just plays it Could you guys give me grit rolls please?
[SPEAKER_06]: Oh Please
[SPEAKER_05]: I don't want to.
[SPEAKER_05]: I also wrote a one.
[SPEAKER_02]: Oh my god, that's the worst thing you both kind of like in that moment look at each other you look at this poor guy has had his brain scrambled like 50 times.
