Hey everyone, thanks for listening to Star Wars Empire Records, a Star Wars Actual Play podcast that records on May the 4th. Happy Star Wars Day, everyone. Today is my birthday.

SPEAKER_04 0:12

Who's ready to say hello to all my girlfriends and boyfriends at the table today?

SPEAKER_09 0:18

Callisette's ready to show you her girlfriend and boyfriends for her birthday.

SPEAKER_10 0:23

But first, for my birthday, I'm inviting all my favorite fictional characters. Bring it in, guys.

SPEAKER_07 0:53

And Deliria says, Happy birthday.

SPEAKER_10 0:57

Happy birthday.

SPEAKER_11 1:02

Women don't talk.

SPEAKER_05 1:03

Come on.

SPEAKER_10 1:06

Got us.

SPEAKER_05 1:08

And if you're ready to be held captive by a freak, why don't you come along with us to a long time ago in a galaxy far, far away in Star Wars? The Empire Wreckers have gone on the offensive. After breaking away from the Imperial Knights, the last members of the Jedi Service Corps rescued their Jedi allies from an ISB attack and established a hidden base on the planet Alishan. With the Empire capturing their friends in retaliation, the Wreckers set out to rescue them from a mysterious ISB prison and rescued the Gladiator Droid D-16 to ascertain its whereabouts. With the droid in tow, the former knights now returned to Alishan to prepare for the next stage of their rescue. You can bring your new ship, the clandestine crow, down to or little converted ancient spaceport church. Plan the uh next stage. They've the lights are all up and running. We've had some time now to sort of get it to be not homey, but you know, at least uh livable. The food processors in the residential areas are online, all the gray slop you can stomach.

SPEAKER_10 2:12

Hell yeah. People are stomaching gray slop?

SPEAKER_05 2:16

Nom nom nom nom nom nom. Just housing it. Well, somebody uh is not looking forward to stomaching his slop as D16 kinda peers out the front cockpit window as he sees him.

SPEAKER_06 2:28

He says, There's the bitch.

SPEAKER_10 2:32

Now, now D-16, you remember what we talked about, right?

SPEAKER_06 2:35

I remember what we spoke about. I was not allowed to kill your allies until all of your enemies lay dead.

SPEAKER_09 2:43

Yeah, like I mean fr it wasn't even was it specifically him who, like, was like, you gotta lock him up, like.

SPEAKER_06 2:49

He was the one whose signature lies on the paperwork that exiled me down to that frigid hellhole.

SPEAKER_09 2:57

Yeah, yeah, that's kind of uh that is pretty, um. Look, you know, maybe it's worth it.

SPEAKER_06 3:06

For what is worse, we are sorry. Do you think that we will become friends?

SPEAKER_09 3:11

Uh, I don't know about friends.

SPEAKER_06 3:12

I mean, I hope that you at least- I don't think that I spent my long imprisonment watching him through the cameras, longing to feel his skull beneath my metal graspers.

SPEAKER_10 3:25

I mean, you're kinda making it sound like you were.

SPEAKER_06 3:27

Who is him? It's not like I like him or anything. I just want him dead.

SPEAKER_10 3:33

Okay, okay. You know, we'll see where we'll see how things are, but you know, you know the, you know the you know the the score. He's an ally. You know, we still got a lot of enemies.

SPEAKER_06 3:43

Yes, I will score indeed.

unknown 3:46

Oh my.

SPEAKER_02 3:48

I raise up my hand, high-five.

SPEAKER_05 3:53

He's gonna roll a brawl check against you. He doesn't know how to regulate his own strength in this body.

SPEAKER_10 3:59

He's gonna roll a roll a triumphant despair. He high fives you so hard your arm snaps off.

SPEAKER_02 4:06

Um, I'm going to seduct her.

SPEAKER_05 4:10

Yeah, so he gets two success and a threat, so he he does high-five you. Oh fuck. Is it way too hard? It's a it's a little bit too hard, but not damaging. He wanted to damage you.

SPEAKER_08 4:22

Oh. He wanted to. D16.

SPEAKER_05 4:26

I uh He likes to cause harm.

SPEAKER_10 4:29

Actually, I should ask D16 because, like, obviously, uh, you know, D16, that's the designation of your former body which you are no longer in. Would you like us to continue to call you that, or would you like uh have a different name? Well, be KX now?

SPEAKER_05 4:41

I will have to think about this.

SPEAKER_06 4:44

I have not considered a new identity. Yes, a different name would help me evade my past crimes.

SPEAKER_10 4:53

Yeah, man. We love that for you. We love you getting to choose your own identity to um evade past crimes. Anyways, we should be landing.

SPEAKER_05 5:01

Hmm. I have considered this.

SPEAKER_10 5:04

Oh, okay, you're done considering?

SPEAKER_05 5:06

Yes, a droid can think much more quickly than a human can.

SPEAKER_09 5:11

Okay. Where are you coming out on it?

SPEAKER_05 5:13

I have noticed that my manner of speech seems quite abrupt and Frank. Therefore, you may call me Frank.

SPEAKER_09 5:22

Oh, Frank! I love Frank! That's such a great choice. Great choice, Frank!

SPEAKER_02 5:27

It is wonderful to finally meet you, Frank.

SPEAKER_07 5:30

I'm writing down Frank in all capital letters. Frank!

SPEAKER_02 5:34

With a number four instead of an A.

SPEAKER_05 5:36

Four. You and Frank can leave the clandestine crow. And Gray is like pretending to be busy working, where it's like, I don't want to deal with that guy right now.

SPEAKER_10 5:51

Gray's also like, it's not like I like it or anything.

SPEAKER_07 5:54

Are you saying Gray isn't some Sundere? Sendere.

SPEAKER_09 5:58

Oh yeah, Frank, when you come down on uh pronouns, are you uh a he, she, it, them? Out of curiosity, if we're if we're like, you know, solidifying your personal identity now that you have one again.

SPEAKER_05 6:08

Well, seeing as I do not have any reproductive capabilities, and yet I do like handling large long metal shafts and banging people with them, I suppose that would mean I may be a male.

SPEAKER_10 6:26

Frank, he has points. You know, there's nothing that boys love more than handling shafts.

SPEAKER_02 6:35

Ain't that I look over the camera. I I look over at the camera. Ain't that the truth?

SPEAKER_05 6:42

I look forward to the opportunity to display my boyness.

SPEAKER_07 6:47

You can also call it your heinous, if you please.

SPEAKER_10 6:51

Your heanus.

SPEAKER_02 6:52

Yes, your heinous.

SPEAKER_10 6:55

Okay, we're all we're all done joining the pen 15 club. Let's disembark and uh let's talk to Gray. Let's bring bring him into this whether or not he wants to be brought into it.

SPEAKER_05 7:05

I mean, he is he is a professional. He says, Welcome back, uh, crew. Welcome back, D16. And he says, I'm Frank now. I have a cock.

SPEAKER_10 7:17

Did we did you actually get one? I do you have one bolted on now? Did you do that real quick while we went looking? Does he have one that you just welded on real quick?

SPEAKER_05 7:28

No, he he holds up the code cylinder that Gray gave you, and he says, Specifically yours. And Gray says, that's uh that's not what that cylinder is. Uh, but it's good to have you back, uh, Frank. Um sorry about putting you down there. I had to follow protocol and everything. It uh, you know, you you you were a uh a very useful droid, and uh, you know, the war's over now, so glad glad you could be free. So what what's the next steps, guys?

SPEAKER_10 8:02

So next step, I think we gotta find the location uh that of that Imperial prison. Frank, we can talk about that, see what you know. And then I think uh we we we gotta go get Zinn. We're getting Zinn, getting Severance, getting Argo, I guess, whoever else happens to be in there.

SPEAKER_02 8:21

I'm sorry, getting Ago?

SPEAKER_10 8:23

Argo. You remember Argo?

SPEAKER_02 8:25

Argo. I thought you were calling me a name, so that's okay, never mind.

SPEAKER_10 8:28

Oh, you remember the Argo with his thin blue line?

SPEAKER_02 8:31

The thrustmaster.

SPEAKER_10 8:32

The thrust master.

SPEAKER_11 8:33

Of course, of course.

SPEAKER_10 8:35

He might be locked up there and like, you know, I don't I don't know about him, but we can't really leave him locked up if he is.

SPEAKER_05 8:45

civilian, she was a Senate aide, but uh otherwise a civilian. And a lot of senators have been suspect recently. Severance Tan was, of course, an enemy combatant, but Argo Thrustmaster is an Imperial Knight. If the ISB is going off the books and throwing knights into black sites, even if they are uh non-humans, which uh the Imperial Knights may turn a blind eye to, maybe they would have assumed that he died on a mission somewhere, but that still suggests that maybe there's a a rift in the Empire that could be taken advantage of.

SPEAKER_09 9:13

That's true. That's true. Is there anyone else that they might they might have taken in that we'd want to keep an eye out for, you think? I mean, I guess we just kind of scan who's in there once we uh get inside.

SPEAKER_05 9:23

Yeah, you'd have to uh get a hold of the prisoner manifest, most likely.

SPEAKER_09 9:27

Oh, I wonder if that might be uh something Frank would have. Anyways, I guess we should go and talk about that, Frank.

SPEAKER_05 9:32

You um He's plugging a like a cable into the back of his head. I am downloading and uploading all relevant information to you now.

SPEAKER_10 9:43

Awesome. Give him a minute.

SPEAKER_05 9:44

There's a little computer that he's plugged into. And you can see that uh he's running through all of the files, and he stops on one that is a planet called Krilldor. Krilldor. And he says, This appears to be where the prison is located. Would we know anything about Krillor? Uh give me a knowledge outer rim. Three purple, probably.

SPEAKER_10 10:08

Three purple. I don't think I have anything to outer rim. Yeah, one failure.

SPEAKER_07 10:12

Four success, one threat.

SPEAKER_11 10:15

One success, two threat.

SPEAKER_10 10:17

Ooh. Look, Starzan's friend. Two failure.

unknown 10:22

Yeah.

SPEAKER_11 10:22

Two failure. I'm good.

SPEAKER_07 10:23

Okay, maybe you should be best friends with Frank, huh? Replace your dead boyfriend.

SPEAKER_08 10:29

Oh.

SPEAKER_07 10:29

I'm sorry, I'm letting the djinn speak tonight.

SPEAKER_02 10:33

Are you half gone already, dude? In the jungle, the mighty jungle, the djinn speaks tonight.

SPEAKER_05 10:40

So, Starzan and Illyria. Uh, you have heard of Krilldor. It is a gas giant in the uh a know it sector.

SPEAKER_07 10:53

I know it.

SPEAKER_05 10:54

I know it.

SPEAKER_07 10:56

You know it.

SPEAKER_10 10:57

I feel like we've encountered this sector more than once, and every single time someone has to go, oh, I know it. And don't I know it.

SPEAKER_07 11:05

It's not on the planet, is it? Uh it's like an orbit.

SPEAKER_05 11:09

Well, uh, it's a gas giant um that is home to a number of independent Tabana gas mines. Okay. Uh doesn't officially have an Imperial presence, uh, but what you can see on the readout is that the prison is seems to be situated in one of these mines, or at least like a processing station, one of these floating platforms. And uh from the information that you can get from D16, it seems like the gas mine is not like the ISB portion of it is secret. It does operate as a mining operation, but the prisoners are housed in reconfigured silos to hold Tabana gas.

SPEAKER_09 11:57

Okay.

SPEAKER_05 11:58

So some of the people working at the mine probably don't know that it's a prison.

SPEAKER_07 12:05

Let's blow 'em up. Explosive decompression.

SPEAKER_10 12:09

Blow up d blow up Zen while we're at it, too.

SPEAKER_02 12:12

Uh, please no. I would rather um Please don't kill my girlfriend. This is a very, very, very weird thing to say, but uh I kinda want her in one piece, please.

SPEAKER_05 12:23

Because you got that threat, though, apparently there has been some concern about smugglers around. So uh there there is a record there that a senior lieutenant Thrawn recommended that the planet be sort of patrolled more tightly. There's apparently a uh a theft of some Tabana gas from a freighter, and this this lieutenant thought that he might go to Krilldor to sell it. However, that may be a benefit, because if this random Imperial Lieutenant is uh suggesting a heightened presence around the planet, that means that he probably doesn't know about the prison there. Which means that uh they may the the imperial prison part of it may be pretty hidden and may not be uh they may not be super well defended if they're using camouflage rather than like star destroyers to guard themselves. That's hopeful.

SPEAKER_10 13:16

Okay, that's good. So it's like not not there to look at the prison just cause uh damn smugglers, those damn dirty smugglers.

SPEAKER_02 13:24

Those damn dirty smugglers. Until we become smugglers in our next campaign, of course.

SPEAKER_07 13:29

But we have a fantastic new clandestine ship, so we should be able to make it no problem.

SPEAKER_05 13:35

He's studying as well, and he says, that's true, you do have a new ship, but these kind of Tabana gas platforms, they aren't really self-sufficient. So an operation of this size probably receiving a uh a number of shipments from independent contractors, freighters of that nature, which Clandestine Crow would be perfectly suited for, but they're gonna be expecting a certain shipment of a certain good at a certain time. Anything outside of that is gonna be very suspicious unless you have a good excuse for landing there.

SPEAKER_02 14:06

What do uh what kind of uh uh place is it?

SPEAKER_05 14:10

Uh what can we what can we uh lie our way into becoming? Well, it's a floating platform in the middle of a gas giant, so there's not uh too many reasons to be out there. So unless you could um sightseeing I guess track down a shipment that's supposed to be heading there and uh, you know, get rid of them.

SPEAKER_02 14:27

Now what kind of shipment uh shit yeah nope nope shit's mints aren't are we looking for.

SPEAKER_05 14:34

Well, place like that, they're gonna need everything food, water, uh pornography, probably drugs.

SPEAKER_10 14:42

They can't just, you know, go to the grocery store and buy their own shit mints. They have to have them They have to have them delivered in.

SPEAKER_05 14:49

Yeah, if this uh screen is right, half half the operation is uh unaware that it's an ISO, there's actual uh minors there.

SPEAKER_10 14:58

Not like miners with an I or uh an O, I guess, right?

SPEAKER_02 15:03

Of course I know yeah. Or is it both? Because sometimes I've been to pla or I have heard of such things uh where there are both. Could be both.

SPEAKER_05 15:14

No, oh no, go, go, no. Yeah, well the miners are probably adults, but uh, you know, adult means different things to different species.

SPEAKER_10 15:21

As some eight-year-old Chandra fan that's just quaking for its porn.

unknown 15:27

No.

SPEAKER_11 15:29

Y'all look that's the age of maturity for Chandra fence.

SPEAKER_07 15:34

Amy, what I think it was like 16.

SPEAKER_05 15:38

Uh yeah, they they're they become an adult at 16.

SPEAKER_10 15:41

Oh, okay.

SPEAKER_07 15:42

Oh shit. What? Oh my god, Amy just knows the age of consent for Chatterfans.

SPEAKER_10 15:49

Look, you p you play it as a barely legal Chandra fan. You had to know these things. It's true. It's it's your job. You have to know. Now she does.

SPEAKER_07 15:59

Wait, Amy, what's the age of consent on Chad?

SPEAKER_11 16:03

Now she now she has an account on Chandra fans.

SPEAKER_10 16:07

Oh, everyone's only Chad subscriptions aside. Like, do we do we do we know of any uh uh any crews that are regularly making deliveries that we could maybe intercept and um steal the identities of?

SPEAKER_05 16:27

Uh probably not personally, but if you want to roll an astrogation to see where they might sort of be coming from.

SPEAKER_10 16:33

Okay. Illyria. I'm doing it.

SPEAKER_05 16:36

Probably a uh two purple with a black.

SPEAKER_07 16:42

One success, baby.

SPEAKER_05 16:43

Okay. So yeah. That's all you need. So Illyria, uh, the Anoit sector, um, a lot of the traffic comes through this uh hyperlink called the Isen Corridor. And the largest sort of um hub or a place where at least you know that people will use as a refueling depot, as kind of a stopover, uh, is a planet called Bespin. That it has a a a f a pretty large settlement. Most of these Tabana gas mining operations are pretty small, but there is a uh a cloud city on Bespin that is quite robust in terms of its traffic. So if you are gonna be able to intercept any shipments that are en route to uh Krildor, you would probably be able to find that at Cloud City.

SPEAKER_10 17:34

Okay, so we like go to Cloud City, hang around the spaceports, see who's coming in.

SPEAKER_06 17:39

Yeah.

SPEAKER_10 17:40

Someone over the similar ship model, where you just uh pretend to be them. Or steal their you know, maybe they're delivering a bunch of sex asses, we just steal them, load them up, and uh that's our ticket. Uh here's a lot of money. Load up the sex asses. Load up the sex asses.

SPEAKER_07 17:55

I mean, we could say that the original ship got in a crash or had to stop the repairs and what we're gonna do.

SPEAKER_10 18:02

Yeah, they were they were detained. We're uh we're filling in.

SPEAKER_05 18:05

You could potentially even just like steal their transponder codes.

SPEAKER_10 18:08

We could just steal their transponder codes. You know, it's like when you you call an Uber and it's like, as long as the license plate matches, are you really looking that closely at the exact model?

SPEAKER_05 18:19

Yeah, like why YT freighters are insanely common.

SPEAKER_10 18:22

Yeah. It's fine. Okay, so first order of business. Let's go to Best Ben, find some rubes that we can take the identities of. Shall we go?

SPEAKER_05 18:29

John, Paul, George, and Ringo. You can go. Are you gonna leave uh Gray and or Frank uh behind to hash out their deal?

SPEAKER_10 18:39

We're gonna come back. They're gonna be in Grey's bed smoking cigarettes. We hashed it out.

SPEAKER_11 18:45

Gotta squash your beef.

SPEAKER_10 18:47

Unless we want to bring one of the one of them with us. I I feel like D or uh Frank has kind of given us all the info, the relevant info that he has. We probably wouldn't need him if you just want to get settled in. We might need uh actually, Gray, do you think you're cause we never actually ended up using your code cylinder. Do you think that uh you would have clearance for anything here?

SPEAKER_05 19:05

Well, I knew the prison existed, I didn't know where it was, so I'm guessing that I probably wouldn't have clearance. Also, I'm supposed to be dead.

SPEAKER_10 19:13

Well, no, but it's like if they still have not marked you as uh if they have still not removed your clearance, because you know that code cylinder should still be good for a single use, but like if you wouldn't have to clearly.

SPEAKER_05 19:23

It would be good for single use on Coruscant, not necessarily on Krilldor.

SPEAKER_10 19:26

Well, we can save it for the future. Maybe we'll have to do that.

SPEAKER_05 19:28

If you think it would be useful, uh you can try it.

SPEAKER_10 19:31

No, I and I think that's probably fine. I mean we can just leave it here and then next time we're on Corsant, if we need to be doing anything involving ISP, we can see if it still works.

SPEAKER_05 19:40

Alright, I'll uh hold down the fort then.

SPEAKER_10 19:43

Okay. Just like so you you you guys are gonna be good, right? Frank, you're not gonna try to um kill anyone?

SPEAKER_06 19:50

You have my word, I will not kill any of your allies until all of your enemies lay dead.

SPEAKER_09 19:56

Okay, cool.

SPEAKER_02 19:57

I don't I don't know how much I would trust him about Zats because robots are incapable of crossing his fingers, so how do we know he's not mentally crossing his fingers when he tells us these things?

SPEAKER_09 20:09

I think he would I I I th I feel like we can trust him.

SPEAKER_10 20:12

I'm sure it's fine. Okay, shall we wait to Bespin then?

SPEAKER_05 20:15

So you can uh head to Bestbin, maybe looking back over your shoulder at Frank to make sure he's not getting it up to any uh nefarious business as you leave into the sun, the inside of the spaceport uh gets dark and shadowy, and you just see these two pinpricks of unblinking lights staring out at you.

SPEAKER_10 20:33

Wait, what?

SPEAKER_05 20:35

You know, he's just watching, it just looks creepy.

SPEAKER_10 20:38

He's just staring at us as we go. It's like the thing where it's like you you wave bye to someone, but then you you keep walking, but you can still see each other. So it's like, do you do you keep waving? He's just staring. Anyways, let's let's move along. We need to roll Move along. We need to do any astriation to get to Baskin or is it a common enough destination?

SPEAKER_07 20:57

Well, it's not Why are you trying to make me roll all the time?

SPEAKER_10 21:03

I can do you want me to roll it? No, I think.

SPEAKER_07 21:05

This is your time to shine.

SPEAKER_10 21:07

Sorry, Elyria, I just know that you like feeling useful.

SPEAKER_07 21:10

You're trying to make the person who just bought the navigator career.

SPEAKER_10 21:14

You gin soaked you gin-soaked mess! I'm sorry I'm making you astrogate.

SPEAKER_05 21:20

Oh dare. Because Best Bin is uh like your your neck of the woods is up north, Best Bin's way down south. Uh so if you want to, depending on how fast you want to get there, it would probably be good to Astrogate. So that would be a Best Best spin is kind of a uh a hub, uh, but it is quite far, so it'll be a two purple and a black astrogation.

SPEAKER_07 21:43

Dear God. One success.

unknown 21:46

Yay.

SPEAKER_05 21:46

So uh no no major shortcuts, no long cuts, but you can make it to Bespin safely. Don't get hassled by uh any Imperials or anything. And once you arrive.

SPEAKER_02 22:08

Mushroom shaped because it's uh been blown up, or is it no never mind?

SPEAKER_07 22:12

It's just mushroom shaped. No, blown out. Wait, no, that would be a donut. That would be a donut.

SPEAKER_05 22:19

And as you approach uh the city, an a sort of a little orange two-pod airspeeder flies up and starts like circling your ship. I wave at it and uh hope that it becomes a friend.

SPEAKER_10 22:35

Does it hail us or anything?

SPEAKER_05 22:36

Yeah, it hails you. Oh, hello. Hello. Greetings, traveler. What brings you to Cloud City?

SPEAKER_10 22:42

Um just stop into um from a refuel and then refresh in.

SPEAKER_05 22:47

Or well, do you um have any specific um requests or requirements during your stay here?

SPEAKER_10 22:55

Um you direct us to a space boat that's that's um close to a cantina?

SPEAKER_05 23:02

Uh yeah, just a sec. You can land in uh platform 327.

SPEAKER_02 23:07

We, um, is there any kind of allergens that we must be aware of when we go to the cantina?

SPEAKER_05 23:13

Well, that depends on what you're allergic to.

SPEAKER_02 23:15

I'm not allergic to anything.

SPEAKER_10 23:19

I'm asking for a friend. What are they allergic to? And I was just kidding, I don't have a friend. Clouds. I'm I'm worried about stepping foot, but that's- Do they have gluten-free options? No, I uh I I'm not on a gluten.

SPEAKER_02 23:35

I'm not gluten-free, but it but it's what it is.

SPEAKER_05 23:39

We have a large Ugnot population. Are you keeping kosher?

SPEAKER_02 23:43

Uh uh Shabbat Salom.

SPEAKER_05 23:46

Oh, then you might want to stay clear of Ugnot Town.

SPEAKER_02 23:48

Uh Ugnot, yes, of course, of course. Because they're pigs.

SPEAKER_05 23:51

Oh.

SPEAKER_10 23:53

I thought you uh To be fair, I was a little confused by that too, and I was like, are they Is that how they're meant to be coded?

SPEAKER_11 24:02

This isn't J.K. Rowling's universe, it's not close enough.

SPEAKER_10 24:08

Yeah, it's not that bad. It's it's different bad.

SPEAKER_05 24:11

The port district is open and operational. You can enjoy the if you feel like gambling, you can enjoy the paradise. The paradise is pretty good.

SPEAKER_02 24:20

The paradise is pretty good. Yeah, no, I it's top tier, honestly.

SPEAKER_05 24:24

Should I uh book you a any rooms at the Grand Best Ben Hotel for your stay? Um, I don't think so.

SPEAKER_10 24:30

I think we're gonna be.

SPEAKER_02 24:33

I don't think we're gonna be that long, no. Uh we're here for gas and uh to stretch out our feet and maybe do some side course.

SPEAKER_05 24:40

Of course. Uh and just so you know, there is no shadow market on Besbin.

SPEAKER_02 24:44

No shadow. Why would you say that? Uh I mean kind of. Why would you say that? Chase it down. Suspicious.

SPEAKER_10 24:55

Explain yourself. Maybe it's flying to the shadow market. Maybe it's meant to be like, by the way, there's no shadow market on Bestbin, wink wink.

SPEAKER_11 25:05

Follow me to the shadow market. It doesn't exist.

SPEAKER_10 25:07

Ooh, don't follow me to the shadow market. I mean the not shadow market.

SPEAKER_02 25:12

It's like when they say there's no sex in the champagne room and that there's always sex in the champagne room.

SPEAKER_11 25:17

You pay enough.

SPEAKER_05 25:18

You can bring the uh clandestine crow, settle it down on platform. Seven in the port district.

SPEAKER_11 25:24

Should we ask where the shadow market is?

SPEAKER_10 25:27

Okay, guys, where's the shadow market? No, we don't have anything to buy or sell. Now we're just curious.

SPEAKER_02 25:33

Also, I smell some perfume. Is it's mint perfume? I know somebody who's allergic to mint. I don't know why I'm getting all into people's allergies to mint. I do actually.

SPEAKER_10 25:44

When we when we land, uh do we see any other ships that are uh of a similar make and model that look like they're like any other freighters?

SPEAKER_05 25:54

Oh yeah, there's a lot.

SPEAKER_10 25:55

Is there a way to check their uh their destinations?

SPEAKER_05 25:58

Um, not from so your platform is just like a lot of the platforms are kind of these individual round platforms that are just sort of out in the open. So you can see a lot of other ships that are docked at sort of various levels, but there's not a bunch that are actually like all kind of clustered together into one area.

SPEAKER_07 26:20

Unlike Chris, you're good at lying. You should uh go and tell people that you really like their kind of ship and you want a uh tour.

SPEAKER_02 26:29

My my version of lying is a sort of thing.

SPEAKER_07 26:31

And we should tour all of these ships.

SPEAKER_10 26:33

Or we uh I specifically uh did request a dock that was close to a cantina. We go to the cantina and Chris just flirts with people until he finds one that's going to this planet.

SPEAKER_02 26:45

I can do I can do that. Um basically I'll just do my uh uh storytelling technique where I uh tell the most impossible story and everybody gathers around me, and then eventually it'd be like, oh, I have a story about this planet. Is anybody going to this planet? And then one person will be like, Yeah, I'm going to this planet, and it's just like, alright, you're coming with me.

SPEAKER_10 27:06

Oh my god, no wait. You you go to the cantina and you just like get up on like their karaoke stage and you start doing like cold reading psychic work. What was the name of this planet again?

SPEAKER_05 27:20

Krilldor.

SPEAKER_10 27:21

Just like, okay, I'm seeing in my brain uh someone in a freighter that's going to Krilldor, and then there's people like, oh my god, we're going to Krilldor.

SPEAKER_08 27:30

Yes. Oh my god. What message does my dead grandma have for me?

SPEAKER_02 27:35

Can I can I can I use Ward's foresight to be like um uh to like start impressing people about my about my power, about like what's gonna happen in that in like your future and what have you.

SPEAKER_06 27:50

Yeah.

SPEAKER_02 27:51

Yeah!

SPEAKER_10 27:52

Hell yeah! If we go to the cantina, do they have a show for you today?

SPEAKER_02 27:58

Hello, hello, Monomie. I've got the what I've got the hell of a show for you today. Put me in, coach. I'm ready to play.

SPEAKER_05 28:06

Right. So uh you can head in to uh the inside of Cloud City, head off the landing platform. Get the feeling this is like the kind of place where if you had a friend who lived here, he would come out, pretend to be mad at you, and then give you a great big hug, but you don't. Maybe you'll make some friends.

SPEAKER_10 28:21

Yeah, maybe we'll make some friends that will certainly betray us. Yeah. Fingers crossed.

SPEAKER_05 28:26

And you can head in, and it is pretty busy, pretty bustling inside. There's the cantina is nearby, as the uh cloud car pilot said. Um, there are other offices nearby for the various like port workers. And you can see as you approach the cantina that like a number of people are wearing various uniforms. And you can see that there are several people, in addition to like the various freighter pilots and probably smugglers, probably people who might be heading down to the shadow town that doesn't exist. But there are a number of people that are in uniforms uh bearing the logo of the Bureau of Ships and Services, which is a uh basically it's like the Space DMV. They're not they predate the Empire, they are separate from the Republic or the Empire, but they're the ones who uh basically maintain the registry of all ships in the galaxy and track where they're going. So if there are any ships that make frequent uh trips to Krilldor, you may also be able to uh butter up one of these Bureau of Ships and Service agents to tell you.

SPEAKER_09 29:38

Okay.

SPEAKER_05 29:38

But do you want to um assess the various people that are in the cantina, see if there's anyone who uh might be susceptible to your uh manipulations, Chris? Yeah. If I can roll some kind of uh perception arts. Yeah, perception to find your mark. Uh do you want somebody who's gonna be like what kind of person are you looking for? What kind of person do you think you'd be going to Krilldor? Would it be someone who's a little shady? Would it be someone who's more legitimate?

SPEAKER_02 30:10

What if I and I might I might be just uh off base here, but what if I find like a group just kind of like grow my influence in this place a little bit and start off with like a group of friends and then it just and then just sort of like get the group of friends to like invite a bunch of other people to like watch and then can I can I get a group go uh grow going here or uh does somebody who's going to that planet have a some kind of look for that uh to them?

SPEAKER_05 30:44

I don't know if they'd have a look necessarily unless you're just have like an instinct about somebody.

SPEAKER_02 30:50

I could maybe have an instinct about somebody. If you know what? If I have a bad role, then I want to at least see if I can get the the the the loudest people at a table.

SPEAKER_05 31:00

Yeah, the vibe.

SPEAKER_11 31:01

I believe in you. You're gonna get a raging clue.

SPEAKER_05 31:04

So if we assume that the kind of person that you're looking for is a freighter captain who's uh at least moderately skilled, probably this is gonna be against uh a they're cool if they're just trying to like remain unbothered. Uh so that would be against perception against one red and two purple. Two advantage. Okay, so Chris, you can't see anybody who's immediately like, oh, that person. But you can see that there are, you know, a number of different looking people. There's the Bureau of Ships and Services workers, there are uh a lot of traitor captains that are around. A very common sort of like archetype that you know in your history is like, well, a lot of people tend to be like pilots. Humans are very common in the galaxy. You're not a human, but you know they're like roaches. And I get that. The Empire is very human-centric, so probably the captain wouldn't be non-human. So you can kind of narrow it down there. So not so a non-human, okay, that's a start. Yeah, and you can see that there are a lot of captains that are humans, but that have like some non-human with them.

SPEAKER_03 32:22

Mm-hmm.

SPEAKER_05 32:23

Maybe not that. And there are one or two that are just humans by themselves. And there there is one woman who is a human who seems to like be by herself, but she's not alone. She's kinda interesting. Okay.

SPEAKER_10 32:44

Is she like being her hassled by some people?

SPEAKER_05 32:47

Not not hassled, but like you get the sense that like there is uh like the seat next to her belongs to somebody who isn't there. Did somebody does does she look like somebody stuck her up on a date? She doesn't look like somebody who stuck her up on a date. She looks like she's like one half of a pair and the other being just isn't there.

SPEAKER_10 33:04

Like they're in the potty.

SPEAKER_02 33:06

Alright, so I will go um I will just kind of like ba basically what I'm doing is ba uh essentially a magic trick, right? Um so I I I don't I I do kind of wanna like have a little bit of a magician flair, but like uh my power works in that I concentrate on somebody and I'm able to tell their future. Am I able to tell their past as well or no?

SPEAKER_05 33:30

Um that would be a different power.

SPEAKER_02 33:32

Yeah. Um but I can still tell their future here, right? Ward's foresight? Yeah. Okay. So if I concentrate on this person, I could be like, okay, uh, turn it's okay, your husband's gonna come out, uh come out in about uh four minutes uh or so or uh something like that. Or like, can I can I tell like when uh can can can I read this woman's future? Uh yeah, if you want to try. I would like to try.

SPEAKER_10 34:01

You look into the future, and it turns out this lady's husband's gonna come back to the table and then be like, honey, I need to talk to you about something. I'm coming out now.

SPEAKER_02 34:11

You you will get the kids in divorce. I will get I will get wait, wait, I can still love you. No, no, no, not like not like that.

SPEAKER_10 34:19

Sorry, I just I just like the phrasing that your husband's gonna come out in about two minutes, and she's like, Yeah, he's coming back from the bathroom, and it's like, that's not what I meant.

SPEAKER_11 34:27

That's not what I meant.

SPEAKER_10 34:28

That's not what I meant.

SPEAKER_11 34:29

He's seeing your gardener.

SPEAKER_10 34:31

You could not have seen this coming.

SPEAKER_05 34:34

Okay, so um you wanna roll your roll your power then? I got two light side and a dark side. Okay, you'll have to flip a destiny, but you have plenty of those. Take some strain. Uh, and you can look into her future, and you get a glimpse of her kicking over the table, ducking behind it, and pulling out a gun.

SPEAKER_08 34:55

Oh.

SPEAKER_02 34:57

Hmm.

SPEAKER_10 34:58

Is someone about to shoot this bitch up or is she gonna try to shoot you?

SPEAKER_02 35:02

Can I see around what she's like what she's aiming at? Or no, it's just like a like a flash.

SPEAKER_10 35:08

Or like what direction she's kind of kicking the table in?

SPEAKER_02 35:12

Where where does she pull uh pull the pistol out of? Just like her purse or like her uh holster? Like a holster. Okay. Um, is the holster hidden? Is it a concealed? No, she's she's got it on her hip.

SPEAKER_10 35:24

Because like, based on like the way that she's kicking the table in the vision, would Chris be able to discern like where like if she's being attacked, where that attack might be coming from?

SPEAKER_05 35:34

Chris, do you wanna do you wanna look around?

SPEAKER_02 35:36

Yeah, actually, I I do. But but uh before I do that, um um can uh uh I'll I'll be like I'll be like, listen, you uh you keep your eye you keep your eye out. There's uh uh there's dangerous people about, and then I start wa and I start walking away and she kinda stands up from the table and says, What do you mean?

SPEAKER_05 35:59

What are you talking about? Is that a threat?

SPEAKER_02 36:01

Not for me. No, not at all. I'm I'm hoping to ho uh I'm hoping that maybe I may be able to save you from uh from this threat.

SPEAKER_05 36:10

Are you here on some kind of busin uh some kind of business or looks back towards the door and she says Hey, I'm just trying to get a drink between stopovers. Ah, I see what you mean.

SPEAKER_02 36:25

Well may well, as a little a little bit uh later it's later tonight. You make sure you watch yourself and I will.

SPEAKER_05 36:34

It sounds like you're threatening me. And she kind of like puts her hands on her hips, but like her right hand is like on her blaster.

SPEAKER_02 36:40

No. It's I swear it's not a th uh it's not a threat. Um I'm wait I'm gonna make sure that everything that everything is good and safe. Just keep keep your eye uh just keep your eye out just in case. Not of not of me. Just in case. Don't keep an eye out for me.

SPEAKER_05 36:59

Why don't you give me a charm? Okay. I can I can charm her.

SPEAKER_10 37:02

Yeah, Chris is so charming. Come on. Come on.

SPEAKER_05 37:05

I hope so. Uh that'll be a red and two purple.

SPEAKER_10 37:08

Red and two purple?

SPEAKER_05 37:10

My charm is fucking awesome, so.

SPEAKER_02 37:12

Uh red, two purple. Uh, two success, five advantage.

SPEAKER_10 37:16

Oh hell yeah.

SPEAKER_05 37:17

And, you know, she looks you up and down. What are you wearing? Because you guys probably aren't wearing your Imperial Knight armor anymore.

SPEAKER_10 37:24

Oh, that's true.

SPEAKER_11 37:26

Back to my regular civilian loin clothes.

SPEAKER_10 37:28

Oh, god damn, I gotta I gotta unequip that. We don't ha we're not gonna be wearing it anymore.

SPEAKER_05 37:33

Or or do you have just kind of like some some shabby clothes on and you're in the I mean, best you could probably get some nice clothes at uh at Cloud City.

SPEAKER_07 37:42

I have banal apparel.

SPEAKER_10 37:44

I have heavy clothing. Yeah.

SPEAKER_07 37:46

Down us now our banal apparel.

SPEAKER_10 37:49

Man, now I don't have any defense. Our heavy robes also.

SPEAKER_05 37:54

Yeah, Chris, what do you do you want to uh cause this would probably be a destiny point. Uh, but do you want to have to use a destiny point to have bought like any kind of specific outfit before um starting your your undercover life? Or even like when you landed on the way, you you stopped by some clothes?

SPEAKER_02 38:13

Uh I am a man in a fashionable hoodie. Uh, so effortless. Of uh like it it look like I look like I belong in this bar, but in a way that I'm able to blend into the uh to the back, but also be approachable as I uh I I I have an ult the ultimate hoodie. The ultimate hoodie. The ultimate hoodie that makes me a perfect human being.

SPEAKER_10 38:42

One day you're gonna get the ultimate hoodie and you're gonna be the perfect human being.

SPEAKER_02 38:48

Isn't that how it goes?

SPEAKER_10 38:51

No, that's just Devon at this point. Just like one day I'm gonna find the ultimate hoodie, and then everything's gonna be working out for me.

SPEAKER_02 39:00

I'm walking down the street and be like, I just got a new job. Everything, everything's coming up roses, and then I look in the I look in the window and I'll be like, Yeah. Everything's gonna change now. And I'm like, I will take this hoodie, please. Thank you.

SPEAKER_10 39:17

And then we so Chris is wearing his magical hoodie.

SPEAKER_05 39:22

So is this like, um, so are you are you dressed like a like a freighter captain, or are you dressed like somebody who kind of would belong on besbin? I am dressed like somebody who would belong on besbin, I think. Okay, so you're you're dressed in some pretty, some pretty nice clothes. Uh you you're a charming sort. You've got your pheromones. Sst. And she says, Alright, I'm a little thirsty. Why don't we sit down and share a drink? And you can tell me all about this uh threat. Okay.

SPEAKER_02 39:53

Um I but uh uh before that happens, I tell w uh somebody else. I'd be like, there may or may not be uh there may or I like I tell one of you three here, or all three of you, I guess, uh, watch out as there may I I feel as though there's going to be a gun uh gunfight at some point in time. I don't know from who, but just keep your eye out for somebody who wants who's going to be dangerous.

SPEAKER_07 40:19

I mean, I assume so we're here.

SPEAKER_10 40:22

Could I roll perception to look around the bar to see if there's anyone who's like looking kinda shady, who might be getting ready to uh let the bolts fly?

SPEAKER_05 40:31

Yeah, so uh that would probably be Perception against probably the cool again of somebody who's trying not to remain noticed. I guess how hard are you looking?

SPEAKER_10 40:42

I mean my perception's decent. I'll probably be looking pretty hard.

SPEAKER_05 40:46

Okay, so like a high difficulty then.

SPEAKER_10 40:48

Yeah.

SPEAKER_05 40:49

Okay. Uh so this would be against two reds and three purples cool.

SPEAKER_10 40:55

Whoa, two red, three purple!

SPEAKER_05 40:58

Yeah. That's intense.

SPEAKER_10 41:00

I don't know if I was ready for something quite that high in difficulty. I got three yellow and a blue.

SPEAKER_05 41:04

You have uh five destiny points.

SPEAKER_10 41:06

Uh, you know what? I'll flip it and I'll downgrade one of those reds.

SPEAKER_05 41:10

That's probably for the best, yes.

SPEAKER_10 41:12

I know I can't aim, but if I concentrate extra hard, could I add a blue?

SPEAKER_05 41:18

Um, well, you do have Illyria and Starzan with you. If they're keeping an eye out too, you could add some blues from them.

SPEAKER_10 41:25

Oh, okay. Like one each? Yeah. Because I I I think I probably have the best perception of the group. Ooh. Uh, two success, three threat, one triumph.

SPEAKER_05 41:35

Look at you go. Okay, so you can kind of scan the bar for people who look like they might want to start shit. And the triumph is that he doesn't notice you. The threat is that you can see him very pointedly and very periodically between drinks looking over to Chris. Oh. And you can see that he's got like a couple of blasters slung at holsters. He's sitting at the bar. He is a lithe duro in a wide brimmed hat that kind of hides a lot of his face, and he's got what looks like almost like um like breath tubes going into his neck, like he may have some cybernetic enhancements. Ain't that? Uh uh. Uh-oh. Would we know who this is? Uh, roll me a knowledge underworld. Uh say three purple.

SPEAKER_10 42:33

Three purple, oh dear. Well, I got a yellow and a green.

SPEAKER_07 42:36

Three success, three threat.

SPEAKER_05 42:38

Uh, so Illyria, you know that this is a bounty hunter by the name of Cad Bane. Um if you guys are in fact rogue imperial knights, it is likely that there is a hefty bounty on your head, and you just strolled into a cantina where a notorious and very skilled bounty hunter happens to be.

SPEAKER_11 43:02

Just a coincidence, right?

SPEAKER_05 43:03

But he does not notice me. He doesn't notice you, but he does he has identified Chris. Oh shh shit.

SPEAKER_02 43:12

I don't notice him. I'm at the table, uh, working my ma working my magic being like, uh, you seem as though you were aware of a threat before even I even came here, and I was I feel I feel as though you might need help getting out of here without being seen.

SPEAKER_05 43:29

Oh, you think so, huh?

SPEAKER_02 43:31

Well, I'm looking for uh where are you headed?

SPEAKER_05 43:34

Well, I don't know why I should necessarily tell you that.

SPEAKER_02 43:38

That's fair.

SPEAKER_10 43:39

Uh God, I'm just Oh no, I just don't want Chris getting shot by Cad Bane.

SPEAKER_02 43:47

Sh no no no no. It's uh i i it's okay, I got this. So lady, um Let me flirt.

SPEAKER_10 43:54

Stop interrupting. Chris is in the zone.

SPEAKER_02 43:59

Listen, I know I know uh between uh between you and me here that you uh uh that you are more on edge than I've seen anybody here uh here before. So I just wanted to offer you uh offer you a drink and uh uh offer you an ad a drink and my friendship.

SPEAKER_05 44:19

Well, give me the drink and we'll see where it goes.

SPEAKER_02 44:23

Can I um can I use word foresight to figure out what kind of drink she wants?

SPEAKER_05 44:28

Um I mean you can see what she's already drinking, and you can order another of the same.

SPEAKER_10 44:33

Oh, how did you know my drink? Maybe I just knew.

SPEAKER_02 44:38

Uh Gars uh Gar Sond, I'll have another uh wit uh whiskey with a twist of lemon, please. Or space whiskey, whatever we're we're having.

SPEAKER_10 44:50

Yeah.

SPEAKER_02 44:51

Whiskey. Whiskey. Oh wisp wisps never anyway. That doesn't matter. Anyway. Uh uh my uh my name my name is uh uh Chris by by the way. Lalo, Lalo Gun. Lalo Gun. That's a that's a very that's a very unique name. Uh what uh I know what br brings you here, but what brings you to adventure, Lalo Gun?

SPEAKER_05 45:18

I've uh been adventuring for a while. Are you looking for adventure? She kind of like gestures to your clothes, like you look like uh kind of like a Bespid debutante.

SPEAKER_02 45:27

Oh.

SPEAKER_05 45:28

I'm uh fellow like you doesn't look like he uh gets out of his head's out of the clouds too much.

SPEAKER_02 45:33

No, my head's because my head is always an adventure. No m no matter uh no matter where I go, it's always entertaining. For better or for worse.

SPEAKER_05 45:44

And you uh you go pretty often?

SPEAKER_02 45:46

I uh if I if I stop, I die, so I have to keep going.

SPEAKER_05 45:51

Sounds like you're uh running from something.

SPEAKER_02 45:53

Maybe I'm running from uh uh running from the implo uh uh impending implosion of the universe that will eventually get us all. And why and why not make a few stops here and there while it's chasing me?

SPEAKER_05 46:06

I don't know. Seems a little uh some more specific than that. Man comes in here, walks up to my table, tells me I'm in danger, says he's running from something.

SPEAKER_02 46:16

But you are too, aren't you? Are you not?

SPEAKER_05 46:18

No, I'm not running from anything.

SPEAKER_02 46:20

Uh well then what brings the uh worry worry wart that I see in front of me here now.

SPEAKER_05 46:27

I deal with improv- import and export.

SPEAKER_02 46:30

Uh nothing other.

SPEAKER_05 46:31

But uh why don't you tell me a little bit about you? What are you uh running from more specifically? Have you uh how long have you been running?

SPEAKER_02 46:39

Oh, I've been I've been uh running for a little bit long uh longer than or a little bit shorter than I wish I was. Let's say that. I uh found out s uh found out something, and uh it is something that I cannot be a part of anymore.

SPEAKER_05 47:00

That's not what I was thinking.

SPEAKER_02 47:02

Oh yeah, and what were you thinking?

SPEAKER_05 47:04

I was thinking you need to hide that bulge by your belt a little bit better. Oh, yeah.

SPEAKER_02 47:11

I'm not even I'm not even that bulgy, or what are you talking about? And I look down.

SPEAKER_10 47:17

I I was gonna ask, like, cause if I'm in the corner, Cad Bane has not noticed us, the rest of us, but he's noticed Chris. Is this lady like uh does she has she noticed Cad Bane or is she giving like any glances towards him? Are they working together?

SPEAKER_05 47:34

She doesn't look like she's noticed him necessarily, but she does seem to be concerned about Chris just kind of coming up and and doing this like I've seen your future bit.

SPEAKER_10 47:45

Yeah. Sorry, continue. I'm loving I'm loving Eden and Devin flirting.

SPEAKER_02 47:49

This is one one second, I gotta get some of that breath spray. Okay.

SPEAKER_10 47:55

I was hoping it was gonna be like, I gotta get some of that breath spay uh spray, and then you just cough to pump out some more of your pharaohs.

SPEAKER_02 48:02

Oh god. I feel as though if I was telling you what I was running fr uh what I was running from, uh that might get you in danger. I think I think it might be a better idea to see if we might be able to agree on where I'm running to. Uh you wouldn't happen to know anybody who might be on their way to Krilldor, would you?

SPEAKER_05 48:25

I think I understand what you're getting at.

SPEAKER_02 48:27

Yes, I'm trying to get to Krilldor.

SPEAKER_05 48:30

I'm trying to get at that krill door, man! And if you are getting at what I think you're getting at, um there's look over there and she like nods towards Starzan and Kala and Illyria. There's some people over there that are keeping a very close eye on you. And if you are running from what I think you're running from, and if that bulge in your pants is what I think it is, then I think they may be wanting to cash in.

SPEAKER_02 48:55

Uh and I look over where she's pointing, and I'm like, uh, oh no, those guys are harmless. It's okay. Um, but uh this uh do I notice them kind of like wanting my attention or or do they want my attention right now?

SPEAKER_10 49:13

I I feel like at least for Kala, I would be keeping my attention squarely on Cad Bane, because like if you're trying to get information out of this lady, I don't want to interrupt. But also it's like he is watching you. The second he moves, I have quick draw. I'm just gonna try to shoot his head off.

SPEAKER_02 49:30

I'm uh I'm I'm just gonna uh I'm just gonna say like the there's uh no nothing uh I may be shocked at things, but nothing really surprises me anymore. Though uh those guys those guys over there are not dangerous. Oh well. I do I do what I can with what I've got. So where uh where do you uh where are you headed? Is there any way that you might be able to help me out here?

SPEAKER_05 49:59

My ship is called the Hasty Harpy. Meet me there in an hour.

SPEAKER_10 50:02

Ooh, the Hasty Harpy! That's a good name.

SPEAKER_02 50:07

That's that is a good name. Uh uh, I I I shall meet you there, and I I look at the clock to make sure I know when an hour is. And then I I look I I uh I stand up and I start to go to the bathroom.

SPEAKER_05 50:26

And Cad Bane gets up and starts to follow you to the bathroom. Of course, quick draw, I shoot him!

SPEAKER_08 50:32

Quick draw.

SPEAKER_05 50:33

You can quick draw and shoot him.

SPEAKER_10 50:35

Yeah.

SPEAKER_05 50:35

So he's got three ranks of adversary. Got one rank of range defense. You're probably at short range inside this cantina.

SPEAKER_04 50:43

Mm-hmm.

SPEAKER_05 50:44

So, uh, that is gonna be two reds, a purple, and a black. What if what if I didn't get shot?

SPEAKER_10 50:52

I don't have anything committed, so I can add my force. And can I take to can I take two strain and aim twice?

SPEAKER_06 50:59

Yeah.

SPEAKER_10 50:59

Because the quick draw is an incidental. So that'll add two more blues. Roll. Well, I got one triumph, two advantage, one dark side for light side. No success, but I can use.

SPEAKER_02 51:16

You can use the dark side for uh light side for the side. I can use the light side. Use that as your testing point.

SPEAKER_10 51:22

Yeah, crit three, so I'm gonna use I'll use three light sides to get three success, and then my last light side to get another advantage, so I can crit him. I know I got the triumph, so I can crit him anyways, but.

SPEAKER_05 51:35

Yeah, then you can add to it.

SPEAKER_10 51:37

Yeah. Look, I'm not I don't want him getting back up if I have to shoot him. I do not want to actually have to end up in like sustained combat with Cad Bane.

SPEAKER_02 51:47

What if we killed Cad Bane right now? I hope so.

SPEAKER_10 51:51

I mean we've broken cannon so far. Yeah.

SPEAKER_11 51:54

I I I shish kebab Yoda.

SPEAKER_10 51:57

Yeah. This would be the least of our crimes.

SPEAKER_11 52:00

What if we killed Cad Bane?

SPEAKER_10 52:02

What if we killed Cad Bane? What if I killed Cad Bane? Oh fuck shit. Look, if if Starzan gets to be like, what do you mean we killed Yoda? Starzan killed Yoda, then I want to be like, what do you mean we killed Cad Bane? That was all me, baby.

SPEAKER_05 52:16

Uh, so why don't you, yeah, roll your crit and add 10 unless you have any other things that can bump it?

SPEAKER_10 52:23

Ooh, so with the 10 added on, that's 96.

SPEAKER_05 52:27

Fuck it.

SPEAKER_10 52:28

Not bad.

SPEAKER_05 52:29

Which of his limbs do you blow off? Oh, fuck.

SPEAKER_07 52:33

Gun hand, gun hand, gun hand.

SPEAKER_10 52:35

Shoot his dick off. Shoot his dick off! Well, should I blow off his gun hand or one of his legs so he just can't pursue it all? Man, is he has a duro. If his dick's like a thin blue line like Argo's, maybe it does count as a limb.

SPEAKER_07 52:49

Well, determine. Determine which way it hangs and then shoot that leg off.

SPEAKER_05 52:54

Because he does have like a flame projector on his like wrist thing.

SPEAKER_11 52:57

Okay. Hold on a second. At Pablo Hidalgo. Which way does Cadbane's thang thang?

SPEAKER_10 53:05

Which way does Cadbane dress?

SPEAKER_11 53:07

Hashtag thin blue line.

SPEAKER_10 53:08

You know what? I'll blast off. No, if it if I can tell that he has a flame projector on one of his wrists, I'll blast off that hand.

SPEAKER_05 53:20

Yeah, you can you can shoot him in the uh the arm weapon and his flame projector explodes and then blows off his arm, leaving a stump. And Lalo kicks over her table, ducks behind it, and just blasts him until he dies. The prophecy.

SPEAKER_10 53:35

The prophecy! Man, so she killed him! This is Count Dooku all over again, where it's like an assist.

SPEAKER_11 53:41

Savage.

SPEAKER_10 53:42

I did the major Savage swooped in at the last second and got that one hit point.

SPEAKER_05 53:48

Fucking LOL L male even. She she grabs you by the wrist, Chris, and she says, That's probably gonna cause some problems. We should get out of here. Let's move! And you she runs, everybody's screaming as gunfire. Uh alarms start going off in the cantina. Somebody fired a gun. We should also leave. If you guys need to run.

SPEAKER_10 54:08

I have a slug thrower suppressor. No one knows who did that.

SPEAKER_05 54:12

Nobody knows what the giant rifle and shot Cad Vane in the arm.

SPEAKER_08 54:16

We're all looking for the guy who did this.

SPEAKER_11 54:21

If we need to run, um, I can carry one person and one of you can ride uh Panththar.

SPEAKER_07 54:27

You're saying we're bad at running?

SPEAKER_11 54:30

Yes. Yes.

SPEAKER_10 54:32

I mean look, I I do like just like, okay, guys, let's keep a low profile. One of you j climb on the giant cat.

SPEAKER_11 54:40

And the other one giant on the giant man.

SPEAKER_10 54:44

The other one get cradled by He-Man.

SPEAKER_02 54:48

I say, come on. Inconspicuous.

SPEAKER_10 54:53

Inconspicuous is Starzan's middle name.

SPEAKER_02 54:57

I say, come on, uh, come on, you guys. You uh uh we gotta get out of here.

SPEAKER_05 55:02

Yeah, let's let's let's skadoodle. So you can run, you can follow Lalo through the halls. Uh Bespin Security is chasing after you, shouting for you to stop, and she gets on her comm and she says, Cleaver, get the ship started.

SPEAKER_10 55:16

Oh sh crap, can I get our slave circuit to uh start our ship?

SPEAKER_05 55:21

Yeah, give me a give me a piloting.

SPEAKER_10 55:24

Yeah, nothing on. What's that gonna be for piloting?

SPEAKER_05 55:26

Probably a two-purple.

SPEAKER_10 55:28

Two purple. Three advantage!

SPEAKER_05 55:32

So they clamped it. Uh you can you can log in, but it's like they clamped it.

SPEAKER_10 55:37

Man!

SPEAKER_05 55:39

You can control the guns remotely.

SPEAKER_10 55:41

I can't control the guns remotely, could I blast off the clamps?

SPEAKER_05 55:45

Uh, yeah. Give me a two-purple gunnery.

SPEAKER_10 55:48

My gunnery's not good. I'm guessing since I'm the pilot, this gotta tie it into my stuff, so I don't think I can pass it off to anyone. Should I flip a destiny? We do have a lot of them.

SPEAKER_02 55:59

I mean, how many do we have? You have three left. Oh yeah, flip one.

SPEAKER_10 56:01

Yeah, yeah, I'll flip one to get a yellow.

SPEAKER_05 56:03

Get done with it.

SPEAKER_10 56:04

Two success. Okay, we got it. We got the clamps.

SPEAKER_05 56:07

Remotely blast off the clamps and have the uh clandestine probe rise into the sky. And you can follow her, uh, Lalo, through the hallways of Despend. They're starting to walk down the doors. Like one of them slides down in front of you before you guys can get out to her ship on the landing pad.

SPEAKER_10 56:28

Star Z, run through it and leave a Starzan shaped hole for all of us to pursue through.

SPEAKER_11 56:33

You could just smash through it. Or cut through it.

SPEAKER_10 56:36

I mean, Chris does have the bulge hanging by his belt. We could maybe cut through. If we really want to cause a ruckus.

SPEAKER_05 56:43

We all have bulges. And she says, any of you good at slicing?

SPEAKER_07 56:47

Yeah.

SPEAKER_05 56:50

Alright, so uh these guys are gonna give you a destiny point, best bin uh security's hot on your trail. They're blasting you, so it will be only a one purple, but I'll upgrade that to a red and give you a black onto that as well, because they're starting to fire at you.

SPEAKER_07 57:04

One success, one threat.

SPEAKER_05 57:06

Okay, so you can uh cut it open, but you just pulled out a lightsaber in the middle of a uh crowded uh city.

SPEAKER_02 57:14

That could only go right.

SPEAKER_10 57:16

Look, I pulled out a big gun, we're all doing silly things.

SPEAKER_02 57:19

I I I just fli I just flirted with the girl. All of this stuff is your fault.

SPEAKER_10 57:24

Excuse you, you're the one who got spotted by Cat Bade.

SPEAKER_02 57:27

I did fucking I got I didn't even know Cat Bade was there in the first place! Exactly.

SPEAKER_05 57:41

So you can uh run to her ship. It is a YT 1760 freighter, and there is a droid that is uh running up the ramp uh and making the repairs.

SPEAKER_01 57:53

Uh-oh. The ship's broken? It's not broken, it's just uh a little bit it's an emergency, it'll be fine.

SPEAKER_02 58:01

It's okay, I'm not crazy. I'm just a little unwell. I know right now you can't tell. Thank you.

SPEAKER_10 58:08

That sounds like song lyrics. I'm sure someone will really like that one day.

SPEAKER_02 58:12

Long time ago in a galaxy far, far away, Star Wars.

SPEAKER_10 58:16

But your kids are gonna love it.

SPEAKER_02 58:18

Your kids are gonna love it in the 90s, early 2000s.

SPEAKER_05 58:21

You can run aboard this freighter. It does seem to be if you glance into the cargo hold, it is uh pretty packed with it looks like just crates full of rations.

SPEAKER_09 58:33

Okay.

SPEAKER_05 58:34

What do you what do you guys transport? Well, uh, you guys right now, it seems like. Can you strap in?

SPEAKER_02 58:40

You mean uh seats belt, right? Uh because I know of a different type of strap.

SPEAKER_10 58:48

Chris at a time.

SPEAKER_02 58:49

Are we on your way in the way to know common very well is my excuse.

SPEAKER_07 58:56

Are we not on the way to uh capture your sweetheart? We are safe.

SPEAKER_02 59:01

Yeah, Chris is getting ready for to see Zen again. We are, but I still flirt with other people. My my thing is flirting with other people. That's that's what we do. That's what I do.

SPEAKER_10 59:12

We're gonna we're gonna find Zen again, and Chris is gonna present it to her and be like, my darling, I kept your strap warm for you.

SPEAKER_02 59:19

Oh, so would you be interested in a s in a three way? You don't have to, and you don't have to either.

SPEAKER_05 59:30

Oh, do I? Yes, yes, I do. I do. So you can climb up into the uh top turret. It seems like it hasn't really been used in a little while. So it is a little bit like it does grind a little bit when you fire it up. Uh but there are a couple of cloud cars with sirens that are following you. These are just air speeders, so they can't follow you into space. So it's all them. Let's get out of here then. Yeah, do you want it- do you want to try shooting at them?

SPEAKER_02 1:00:01

Can I sh- can I um shoot something in front of them so that they know to not follow me? Near them, just kind of like warn them off? Yeah, exactly.

SPEAKER_05 1:00:11

That'll be uh two purple.

SPEAKER_02 1:00:12

Three success, but a threat.

SPEAKER_05 1:00:15

Okay, so you can uh fire at these things. They bob and weave. Try not to get hit. They're they're following you, it seems like mostly out of obligation. They're not trying to get killed. But because you got that threat, uh, you you feel like a sudden jolt as Lalo like punches it and speeds up the ship, and she says, uh, guys, we got something on our tail.

SPEAKER_10 1:00:37

Is it us? Is it a canned clandestine crow following?

SPEAKER_05 1:00:40

And she says, Looks like it's uh black white E1300. Looks like maybe a bounty hunter ship.

SPEAKER_10 1:00:45

Is it us? That's us, isn't it? Oh no, no, that's us. We got a slave circuit, don't worry about it.

SPEAKER_02 1:00:50

Uh, guns off of that uh that particular ship. That is uh a ship with me and my uh for me and my other people. Me and my homies.

SPEAKER_10 1:00:59

Yeah, no, see it's friendly. Can I make the turret wave like it's like it's like a little bit Yeah, you can you can make it wave.

SPEAKER_09 1:01:08

Yeah, you see?

SPEAKER_05 1:01:09

Okay, cool. Uh that one too?

SPEAKER_09 1:01:11

Wait, which one?

SPEAKER_05 1:01:12

Uh you can see that there is a uh a YV666 crater that is also lifting off from one of the landing pads.

SPEAKER_10 1:01:21

Oh what the hell's that thing?

SPEAKER_05 1:01:22

No, that's not our crater of the beast.

SPEAKER_10 1:01:26

What do we think? Hyperspace? We want a hyperspace about this.

SPEAKER_02 1:01:29

Lucia probably had probably hyperspace about this.

SPEAKER_10 1:01:32

What with the with the slave circuit, can it go to hyperspace?

SPEAKER_05 1:01:35

Uh it's piloting or gunnery. Astrogation. Probably can't do astrogation.

SPEAKER_10 1:01:41

Ooh.

SPEAKER_05 1:01:42

So you might need to you might need to do some symmetrical docking.

SPEAKER_02 1:01:46

Hot docking.

SPEAKER_10 1:01:47

May I may we dock with you?

SPEAKER_02 1:01:49

The only way that I dock is symmetrically.

SPEAKER_05 1:01:53

Yeah, sure, but we might want to uh Okay, we'll just hurry up. Let's do some hot docking. So you'll have to you'll have to match.

SPEAKER_07 1:02:00

During a chase, add one blue per rank and shortcut to any checks made to catch or escape an opponent.

SPEAKER_02 1:02:08

Look at you go. Okay.

SPEAKER_07 1:02:10

Shortcut.

SPEAKER_02 1:02:12

Look at you go. Yeah, be me.

SPEAKER_10 1:02:15

Because would that be me who had to do the docking? Would that be able to uh if Illyria helps me, could I add that blue?

SPEAKER_05 1:02:21

Well, it's to your checks.

SPEAKER_10 1:02:23

So maybe you can add it when it's time to do the asgregation for us to all get the heck out of here.

SPEAKER_05 1:02:28

Yeah. Yeah, astrogation would definitely help you, uh help you escape. So you'll have to match your pilot inks, so that'll be a three red.

SPEAKER_09 1:02:37

Ooh, three red? Three!

SPEAKER_10 1:02:40

What do we have for destiny?

SPEAKER_05 1:02:42

You have three.

SPEAKER_10 1:02:43

Ooh. I'm gonna flip one, and you know what? I'm gonna get another yellow.

SPEAKER_02 1:02:49

As you probably should.

SPEAKER_10 1:02:50

I mean, I probably should downgrade one of the reds, but like. Oh no, oh no.

SPEAKER_02 1:02:57

Are you okay? Jesus Christ.

SPEAKER_10 1:02:59

Nope. Uh two failure, three advantage to spare.

SPEAKER_05 1:03:03

Ooh boy. Oh no. So you you're trying to control this thing with the remote, and like, you got those advantage, so it doesn't like crash into it, but you can't get the lock. You can keep it abreast so you can try again, but that despair is this YB66 Raider is coming behind you, it's gonna fire.

SPEAKER_08 1:03:23

Oh no!

SPEAKER_02 1:03:24

Can I can I shoot at it? Can I can we do something with that?

SPEAKER_05 1:03:28

About that? Since since you got a despair, it'll probably get a chance to fire first. Fuck off.

SPEAKER_03 1:03:35

Fuck you.

SPEAKER_05 1:03:38

Actually, that's probably not bad. Bosque doesn't have very good gunnery.

SPEAKER_10 1:03:42

Bosk! Bosk! Bosk? God, all the bounty hunters were here!

SPEAKER_05 1:03:46

We have no Wookies. What's what's his beef? Uh, two success, two threat, so you can feel Lalo's ship shuddering as his ship hits it, but it doesn't dislodge you from your docking.

SPEAKER_10 1:03:59

That's good at least.

SPEAKER_05 1:04:00

So do you want to try again? Three reds piloting. You got those advantages, so you can add those if you want. Like as blues? Yeah, you can add two blues.

SPEAKER_10 1:04:09

Two blues, okay. Oh god, I don't want to flip another destiny, I already used one. Oh, five success, we're good. Okay.

SPEAKER_05 1:04:18

You can latch on, quickly jump over to the clandestine crow. Uh Elyria, do you wanna do a quick astrogation to jump somewhere, just anywhere? One purple, can add a blue, give you a destiny point, call that a red. No, you wanna.

SPEAKER_07 1:04:33

For success.

SPEAKER_05 1:04:34

For success. You and the hasty harpy can both jump into hyperspace. Just make a quick jump, hopefully, far enough away that anybody who's chasing you will have to uh spend some time trying to look for you.

SPEAKER_10 1:04:46

Thank goodness.

SPEAKER_05 1:04:48

We can be sneaky.

SPEAKER_10 1:04:49

Okay, once we get there, do we wanna just go back to her ship and uh we can talk?

SPEAKER_05 1:04:54

Let's do let's dock ships. So you can hop out of hyperspace uh pretty close by, galactically speaking, just sort of hide uh in this asteroid belt that's around this snowy planet.

SPEAKER_11 1:05:09

Was that our shortest ever visit to a planet?

SPEAKER_10 1:05:13

No, I'm sure we've done shorter. Man, I can't bel I can't believe Chris didn't get the chance to do his crowd work.

SPEAKER_02 1:05:20

That's okay next time. We have it in our pocket.

SPEAKER_10 1:05:23

Yeah, let's go uh let's go talk to her again. What did she say her name was?

SPEAKER_05 1:05:28

Lalo gun. Lalo gun.

SPEAKER_10 1:05:33

Let's write that down.

SPEAKER_05 1:05:34

Are you inviting her over to your ship or are you going over to herself? Out of curiosity, what is her ship? Hership the HC Harvey is a white 1760 freighter. Well, yours is just going to fix it.

SPEAKER_11 1:05:52

Okay.

SPEAKER_05 1:05:56

Um Yeah, that makes it easier.

SPEAKER_09 1:06:01

Ours is just better in every way, shape, and form.

SPEAKER_11 1:06:04

Look at her. Like, if she actually has eight guns, you'd be like, okay, well then.

SPEAKER_10 1:06:10

Oh, never mind. What's slave one called now again?

SPEAKER_05 1:06:14

Boba Fett Starship.

SPEAKER_10 1:06:16

It just doesn't have a name. It doesn't get a name anymore. It's been unpersoned.

SPEAKER_11 1:06:23

Fat one.

SPEAKER_10 1:06:26

Uh no, uh sorry, my brain is going to stupid places. Anyways, hi Lalo. Uh nice to um kinda meet ya. We didn't really get a chance to talk before.

SPEAKER_05 1:06:35

Yeah, nice to see you again and then meet you in that order.

SPEAKER_09 1:06:38

Yeah, sure. Um so uh I I mean Chris was talking with you. What what uh where'd you guys end up landing with your conversation?

SPEAKER_05 1:06:48

Well, um I think we're kind of s stuck now. Uh I take it that you four are Jedi on the run. He mentioned going to Krilldor, I guess uh I'm assuming you wanna hide out with some of the uh the miners there. It's pretty far out of the way. You could probably uh hold out for a little while if even if you just want to like lie low, throw your lightsabers off a platform and uh disappear.

SPEAKER_09 1:07:13

Oh, yeah, you know, uh yeah, let's go with that. Um, but do you uh you go to Krilldor?

SPEAKER_05 1:07:19

Yeah. Yeah, I make uh shipments there pretty regularly.

SPEAKER_09 1:07:22

Oh yeah, because we well, you know, like maybe find an looking to find someone who is going that way who we could uh, you know, just sniff slide on in with, someone who's supposed to be there, allowed to be there.

SPEAKER_05 1:07:34

Okay, yeah. Yeah, I mean, any reason why? They don't really care. There's a bunch of roughnecks out there. Imagine half the people who work on those platforms have uh some criminal record or another.

SPEAKER_09 1:07:44

Oh, probably, you know, but it's probably uh healthiest for all of us if we don't uh have too many details floating about.

SPEAKER_05 1:07:52

I gotcha, I gotcha. That whole. I mean, we saw what happened back there with uh Cad Bain.

SPEAKER_09 1:07:57

Yeah, man. Can't be.

SPEAKER_10 1:08:04

Yeah, now his brains are cooling down all over that canteen.

SPEAKER_02 1:08:07

And now his brains are all over the pavement. You know what? I should have grabbed his hat. You should have grabbed his hat, it's such a cool hat!

SPEAKER_09 1:08:15

You should have grabbed his hat.

SPEAKER_02 1:08:17

Can we still go back? No, that's too late.

SPEAKER_10 1:08:22

Now there's gonna be someone else running around with his hat claiming that they killed him.

SPEAKER_02 1:08:26

And now we gotta take the hat from them. That could have been your look. That could have been our look. That could have been our shit.

SPEAKER_11 1:08:33

Our shit? Okay, now we all take a break from this to go buy hats.

SPEAKER_10 1:08:39

No, no, I'm I'm not uh I'm not Caluseth the Imperial Knight. I'm just some Balisar with a really good hat.

SPEAKER_05 1:08:46

Pharrells and Iroquois, welcome.

SPEAKER_09 1:08:50

But uh but yeah, you know, if you m if you've been making a a shipment down there regardless, it'd be uh really lovely to be able to tag along with you, and then yeah, you know, you do your thing and we'll do our thing, and maybe don't wor worry too much about what everyone's thing is.

SPEAKER_05 1:09:06

Hey, don't worry, I understand. I've um met your kind before.

SPEAKER_10 1:09:10

Which ones? Any names or code names?

SPEAKER_05 1:09:14

I I did a little bit of work uh for the Republic during the war.

SPEAKER_09 1:09:18

Ah, what kind of work?

SPEAKER_05 1:09:20

Transport work. I was uh mainly attached to a uh squad of clones called Breakout Squad. Helped them a couple of times. Uh there was uh Jedi Padawan that uh was their commander.

SPEAKER_10 1:09:35

But uh would would we know Breakout Squad?

SPEAKER_05 1:09:38

I don't know, but she says uh Padawan uh kind of looked like her a little bit. But uh Illyria? Yeah, he was a chis.

SPEAKER_09 1:09:45

What are that and are there any chis Padawans that we knew about? Any others kicking around? I thought Elyria was kind of like the one and only.

SPEAKER_05 1:09:54

Do we know who Thrawn is? He was younger than she she is.

SPEAKER_07 1:09:57

Oh. What?

SPEAKER_05 1:09:59

Yeah, it turned out he was like some kind of chis prince or something. I don't really know the ins and outs of it, but um, you know. There's this whole big diplomatic mission. It was the whole thing.

SPEAKER_07 1:10:10

Okay, well, we were on uh missions, so maybe we missed that. Did we miss that?

SPEAKER_05 1:10:16

Yeah, he was just he was just a young guy. Yeah, he was like, you know, 12 or 13 when I knew him.

SPEAKER_08 1:10:22

But would would we know anything about this kid?

SPEAKER_05 1:10:25

Maybe.

SPEAKER_10 1:10:25

I mean, Elyria, would you have angrily read up on the one other chis that was allowed to become a Padawan as part of a diplomatic?

SPEAKER_05 1:10:33

If there was a chis that was in the Jedi, do you think Elyria would have known about him?

SPEAKER_10 1:10:38

Yeah. I think you definitely I think that you would have been like, you would have known about it and you would have been pissed off.

SPEAKER_11 1:10:44

Both of you would keep hearing that you should date all the time.

SPEAKER_07 1:10:47

He's like eight years younger than me.

SPEAKER_10 1:10:50

I feel like Elyria I feel like Elyria would learn about him and be mad because it's like, well, I wish I was born a nobility too, and then I could have become a Padawan as a political maneuver.

SPEAKER_11 1:11:02

You should know this, Amy. What's the age of consent on chis?

SPEAKER_07 1:11:07

Oh no, normal stuff, 18. Your superpower.

SPEAKER_10 1:11:10

Yeah, chill uh the they aren't freaks on Cilla Man. They're normal.

SPEAKER_05 1:11:15

Um actually chis become adults at 14. Oh, for fuck's sake. But actually, yeah.

SPEAKER_07 1:11:21

Oh no.

SPEAKER_05 1:11:22

Um, actually. Okay, so he was born 14 years ago, or he Yeah, he'd be 14 now, so he's cool. Yeah, he's a good one.

SPEAKER_11 1:11:32

He passes the uh Harkness test.

SPEAKER_07 1:11:34

So he's like half my age, so I would have been out by the time he was in. So maybe not. No. What the fuck is this?

SPEAKER_05 1:11:42

What the fuck is this? I think his name was uh it was long. Um we called him. Yeah, what's the middle part? Uh oh, Kungurama.

SPEAKER_10 1:11:52

Kungurama.

SPEAKER_05 1:11:53

Yeah, newer Kungurama's what we called him. It's called him newer Kung uh was his uh full name, Kungurama Naroto. The terrible name.

SPEAKER_02 1:12:01

That's the Next Summer's Great uh hit.

SPEAKER_10 1:12:06

Cause well, because Naroto just like It's one of the ruling families. Okay, okay. Yeah, I don't know what happened to him after um everything kind of went down, but I mean, statistically speaking, probably the same thing that happened to most of the Jedi. But you know.

SPEAKER_02 1:12:24

Statistically speaking, yes, of course.

SPEAKER_10 1:12:26

A lot of people got out.

SPEAKER_07 1:12:27

I'm sure the chis would be happy if somebody returned him to them if he was alive.

SPEAKER_05 1:12:33

Oh, we did that. Wait, what?

SPEAKER_10 1:12:35

You you took him back to Scylla?

SPEAKER_05 1:12:36

Yeah, there like I said, there was this whole uh diplomatic thing going on.

SPEAKER_10 1:12:40

Wait, so he is alive.

SPEAKER_05 1:12:42

Well, no, I don't know. He didn't we he continued to be a Jedi.

SPEAKER_09 1:12:46

Wait, wait, so you took him back when did you take him back to Scylla then? During the war. Okay. To do what?

SPEAKER_07 1:12:52

I'm sure the chis would not let anyone kill a prince, no matter their orders.

SPEAKER_09 1:12:58

Well, well, well.

SPEAKER_05 1:13:01

It was a whole adventure. We uh, you know, we ended up going through a black hole, found this treasure planet, had to take this weird gate back. It was this it was a whole thing.

SPEAKER_07 1:13:10

Okay.

SPEAKER_05 1:13:11

That's a lot.

SPEAKER_10 1:13:14

Is this a person who's like exists in a starter game or something?

SPEAKER_05 1:13:18

No, she's from a series of children's books.

SPEAKER_10 1:13:21

Okay.

SPEAKER_05 1:13:23

That makes sense.

SPEAKER_10 1:13:24

No, she's from a kid's book.

SPEAKER_05 1:13:27

Well, anyway, I published a book about it. It's called The Clone Wars Secret Missions 4, Guardians of the Chip's Key.

SPEAKER_10 1:13:34

Oh, cool. Well, check it out. And that's probably how I like Starzanne's reading level. We can all check it out.

SPEAKER_03 1:13:41

Yeah.

SPEAKER_10 1:13:43

I I like no effort to defend yourself. You're like, absolutely right. I'm reading.

SPEAKER_02 1:13:48

Nine word words a page. Every word's uh every picture's a painting. Fucking that's a good one.

SPEAKER_10 1:13:54

I'm reading at a fourth grade level. That's as much as I need. That's a huge.

SPEAKER_07 1:13:59

He's gonna read the space Iliad with his biceps.

SPEAKER_11 1:14:02

I've only been doing it for like three years now, right?

SPEAKER_10 1:14:05

Come on, Starzen, you gotta get your reading level up, otherwise you're not gonna be able to read massive muscular arms. I won't be able to read Infinite Gest. You won't be able to read Infinite Gest. You won't be able to become the second person alive who's finished Infinite Digest.

SPEAKER_11 1:14:21

Infinite Digest is just like a series of magazines.

SPEAKER_10 1:14:26

But uh, yeah, so what do we think? We uh go down Do we do we want to go down with both of our ships or just go in uh in Lalo's here and just have ours in orbit?

SPEAKER_09 1:14:35

Like getting people out might be a bit of a challenge if we only got the one, but you know.

SPEAKER_04 1:14:39

Getting people out of which, sorry?

SPEAKER_09 1:14:41

What?

SPEAKER_10 1:14:42

Oh can I roll perception on her? How trustworthy is she gonna be cool about this?

SPEAKER_05 1:14:51

Um, this would be against her cool.

SPEAKER_09 1:14:55

Yeah.

SPEAKER_05 1:14:55

It'd be uh red and two purple.

SPEAKER_10 1:14:59

Oh god. Perception. Red and two purple? I mean, I got three yellow and a blue.

SPEAKER_02 1:15:06

You can you got this.

SPEAKER_10 1:15:07

Do I though? Because I got two success, two advantage, and a despair.

SPEAKER_05 1:15:11

Oh no. Do I though? She does she notice I'm trying to read her and she's pissed. So there are some things about her. She's mentioned, you know, encountering your kind before Jedi and stuff. She's mentioned that she used to do some work with a clone squad called Breakout Squad, Jedi Commander during the Republic. She mentioned taking part in a diplomatic mission with the Chis, which is not the kind of thing that a random freighter captain would probably be hired to do, unless it was in a series of implausible children's book. Outside of the context of an implausible children's book, doesn't it seem more likely that a secret ISB facility would have an ISB agent making the delivery runs rather than hiring somebody who might overhear or see something they're not supposed to? That sucks.

SPEAKER_02 1:16:09

Oh boy.

SPEAKER_10 1:16:10

Is okay, is there any is oh I'm trying to think, is there anything we could maybe uh because I got success advantage out of despair, so that probably is. You know what, Lalo, you don't worry about it. Let's uh let's just go on down. Yeah.

SPEAKER_02 1:16:28

We are here on a routine expedition. It is uh quite alright. And I I look oh I look over uh Calcett's direction there, and I'm just kinda like, is is every are we cool?

SPEAKER_09 1:16:42

You know what? Let's maybe fly down with both of our ships, you know, like we can just say like we're we're helping you out with the delivery. Yeah?

SPEAKER_05 1:16:51

Well, I don't usually come in uh with more more than myself. You're gonna have to kill this bitch.

SPEAKER_11 1:16:57

Say that we're uh helpers. You're we're uh interns. Job shadowing.

SPEAKER_02 1:17:04

Look, as I I feel as though there's a little bit of sli uh l l little bit of a uh uh a tense situation going on. I don't know why uh I don't know why.

SPEAKER_05 1:17:19

Hey, I I get it. You you've had a tough go of it. You're you know, obviously there's people who would rather not see you succeed. But if you want to just lay low, join a to banana gas mining crew, wait for everything to blow over, that's that's fine with me. Um I can say that, you know, I I picked you up, you were you were looking for work and I thought they could use ya.

SPEAKER_10 1:17:43

Yeah, yeah, we just uh you know, don't don't want anyone uh, you know, finding out where we are until things are a little bit safer for our ton kind of people.

SPEAKER_09 1:17:52

You know how it is. You know how it is.

SPEAKER_05 1:17:54

You do you think you might want to space your uh laser swords though?

SPEAKER_09 1:17:58

You know what? Yeah, we'll do that once we're back on our ship. We'll we'll we'll definitely uh we'll space them.

SPEAKER_02 1:18:03

We'll make sure that uh this curious bulge is no more.

SPEAKER_05 1:18:08

Well, we could find uh one of these bigger asteroids, park your ship down there, and then we can uh just go go on and mine. The hasty harpy can make pretty good time. Just gonna make us kill her and see.

SPEAKER_09 1:18:20

Yeah, you know what? Yeah, you're totally right. Here, we'll go back to your ship, we'll follow you down. And uh, yeah. We'll follow you down to the asteroid field.

SPEAKER_11 1:18:29

We're gonna have to kill this girl.

SPEAKER_10 1:18:31

Yeah, if we go back to our ship to uh follow her, and then once we're alone in our ship, just like, guys, I think this bitch is ISB. Oh no. I think this bitch is ISB.

SPEAKER_02 1:18:41

Oh no. Maybe it's just something she ate. Could we could I maybe charm her into not being ISB anymore? Hey, have you thought of changing sides? Maybe. We did. And that's a couple times. Yeah. Everything so far is going alright for us. Except for we lost the dark side. You shut your mouth.

SPEAKER_10 1:19:08

Yeah, so uh if Ooh, I wonder if she's I wonder if she's helped I wonder if there's Jedi smuggled away in here that she's helped to put in there for their own safety. Maybe that shis Padawan is in there.

SPEAKER_05 1:19:20

I took him back to Scylla. I know actually, I put him in a box. With you guys wanting to uh get redeemed. I don't want to kill her, but like.

SPEAKER_11 1:19:30

Should we capture her? Maybe maybe murder is too strong. Interrogate.

SPEAKER_10 1:19:42

That's true. Look, Chris.

SPEAKER_11 1:19:45

Are you gonna bang the dark side out of her?

SPEAKER_10 1:19:47

Look, Chris, Zin would forgive you. Zinn knows that, you know, you guys are down to clown with other people when you're not around.

SPEAKER_02 1:19:55

Listen, everyone ever me and Zin are when they're not around?

SPEAKER_07 1:19:58

I don't think that counts as Polly. It's Polly if they don't know.

SPEAKER_02 1:20:02

Me and Zinn are uh a monogamous couple, but every once in a while we'll see somebody, we'll cause the other one and say, can we break up for about two or three hours? And then we do, and then we'll come back.

SPEAKER_10 1:20:15

Zin has a dedicated cuck chair just for Chris in her room. This has been established.

SPEAKER_02 1:20:23

It has a tone ass groove. We chair that ass groove, thank you very much. That's our cuck chair. That's every once, every once in a while we we we go both ways. Sometimes we just uh I pull up another chair and it sits right beside her, and other people are doing things on the bed, and we're just there with popcorn. We're being like, oh, it's being like, oh, we should try that one day. Yes, of course.

SPEAKER_10 1:20:53

You got your little scorecards, you're j judging their actions.

SPEAKER_02 1:20:58

Uh no, but we just one to ten. Listen, dog, listen, dog. I was feeling you in the beginning, but unfortunately, you really lost energy at the end. And I gotta say, dogs, that was uh that was a weak finish, man. That was a weak finish.

SPEAKER_10 1:21:12

Yeah, we're gonna have to dock you.

SPEAKER_02 1:21:14

And then Simon Cowells just like that was the worst sex I have ever seen.

SPEAKER_10 1:21:22

My grandma could hit it better than that.

SPEAKER_02 1:21:30

In fact, grandma get in here.

SPEAKER_08 1:21:33

Oh I I blacked out for like a second there's taking a turn.

SPEAKER_11 1:21:46

Learn him something new.

SPEAKER_08 1:21:49

We're going too weird.

SPEAKER_02 1:21:53

Uh what I'm trying to say is me and Zen are very cool.

SPEAKER_10 1:22:00

Yeah, before before we leave, does cr does uh Chris wanna return to her ship alone? Just like I thought I'd wanna have better scenery for the trip over there, baby. And then by the time we land, there they're both smoking cigarettes, and she's like, okay, I'm on board.

SPEAKER_11 1:22:18

I'm kind of cool with the good side now.

SPEAKER_09 1:22:21

Yeah.

SPEAKER_02 1:22:22

Shall I tr uh charm the good out of her? What kind of thing? Charm the good into her?

SPEAKER_05 1:22:29

Yeah, so this would be a charm. No, of course. Jesus Christ. So it would be against her cool. So it would start as three reds. I'm gonna give you a destiny point, because uh this is probably gonna be very difficult to do. Um and we'll also add two blacks onto that. Take away one of those blacks. So you said three reds and a black? Uh so it's gonna be start as a red and two purple. So destiny point makes it to two reds and a purple, add a black.

SPEAKER_02 1:23:03

Two reds, a purple and a black. Okay. Oh, and two blacks. And you take a white. Um a triumph.

SPEAKER_10 1:23:16

Oh, hell yeah, baby.

SPEAKER_02 1:23:18

We didn't finish our conversation earlier. Whoa shit!

SPEAKER_10 1:23:22

Just drags you into a broom closet.

SPEAKER_05 1:23:27

After how long, Chris? Like 25 seconds?

SPEAKER_02 1:23:33

Ha ha uh um. Let's let's get let's give it a college 40.

SPEAKER_10 1:23:38

Hell yeah. We'll we'll wait until you're cue to actually like uh reopen contact.

SPEAKER_05 1:23:44

An episode of a uh of a cable uh prestige drama later. The the door opens, Chris is there, disheveled, sweaty, Lalo, her hair is asunder, her goggles askew.

SPEAKER_03 1:24:01

Hell yeah.

SPEAKER_05 1:24:02

And she says, you know, I've been uh thinking of a few things, and maybe it would be a good idea for for us to take to take both our ships there.

SPEAKER_02 1:24:12

I I uh I would like to say that I agree, and then I fucking faint. And then I get right but right back up again. After you, madame.

SPEAKER_05 1:24:23

Right, I'll uh I'll see you there. Oh, and she she reaches like into your like pocket and she pulls like her underwear out. It's like I'll I'll be taking that back, if you don't mind.

SPEAKER_02 1:24:34

And then I take my underwear off of her head.

SPEAKER_08 1:24:38

She was wearing that the whole time.

SPEAKER_02 1:24:40

She was wearing she was wearing that too. She looked like Bane.

SPEAKER_08 1:24:47

You're only a dog is a girl. It's a jock's drop. Well okay, yeah, let's both go down.

SPEAKER_10 1:24:59

Now when we're alone again, just like so. She's like, she's cool with us, right? She's cool with us.

SPEAKER_02 1:25:04

Oh yeah, let's let's fucking go.

SPEAKER_10 1:25:06

Okay, let's fucking go, baby.

SPEAKER_02 1:25:08

Let's fucking go.

SPEAKER_10 1:25:09

Hell yeah, Chris. I love when you can use your penis to solve our problems.

SPEAKER_05 1:25:16

See now that means you have to take a level in Bard. And uh you got that triumph as well.

SPEAKER_10 1:25:23

Hell yeah.

SPEAKER_05 1:25:24

Oh, that's the the the quest.

SPEAKER_10 1:25:26

That wasn't even the triumph.

SPEAKER_05 1:25:29

You can also confirm your suspicions if you want to, because you got Grey's code cylinder, might not work. Hers, on the other hand, will most definitely work.

SPEAKER_10 1:25:39

Oh. Swipe that.

SPEAKER_05 1:25:42

Moink.

SPEAKER_10 1:25:43

So she doesn't know about us, but you know, like, we'll be able to take her own ship down.

SPEAKER_02 1:25:48

Yes, at least.

SPEAKER_10 1:25:50

At the very least. Okay, sick. Let's uh let's follow her down.

SPEAKER_05 1:25:54

Sick. So you can follow her, lock in her coordinates as she goes to Krilldor. And you can both arrive in your ships, and as you approach the platform, unlike the wide, sort of expansive mushroom city of Cloud City, the platform at Krilldor is just like a ramshackle almost series of like bridges and walkways and buildings suspended in the clouds. It looks like uh a place that would have a lot of jumping puzzles uh that you'd have to deal with. Uh but thankfully, hopefully, you won't have to be doing too much jumping. There are these tall silos that are hanging below and on top of these platforms. It's a very uh it's very precarious. Like, maybe you could throw some people off if you need to, but you can land at one of the platforms. And you do get a hail on a shared com channel, and it seems to be one of the roughnecks, and they're saying Oh, we weren't expecting uh two use today. Got a double shipment? Wasn't on the ledger.

SPEAKER_10 1:27:02

Let her handle the talking. There she's the one that they know.

SPEAKER_05 1:27:05

And you hear Lalo, she says Yes, yes. Uh there was a little bit uh extra. I thought I'd bring it round. It's uh I have what you need.

SPEAKER_02 1:27:17

Ooh. Wink wink.

SPEAKER_05 1:27:19

In case any of the uh the miners want some of the uh I have the the your normal rations, but the other supplies thought it would be safer to bring it on a separate vessel.

SPEAKER_10 1:27:31

Yeah, we gotta uh keep an eye on where those uh other shipments are going. Unless it's us, unless we're the other supplies.

SPEAKER_05 1:27:39

And she kind of side channels you and she says Uh when I come by, I uh in addition to the rations and things, I like to sell them drugs and pornography under the table.

SPEAKER_02 1:27:50

So of course.

SPEAKER_05 1:27:52

Can you pretend that your ship is full of drugs and pornography?

SPEAKER_02 1:27:56

No, we don't have to pretend, baby. We we we high five. She's got the drugs I have to work with.

SPEAKER_10 1:28:07

Between Chris and I, we got the chick cover bitch. God, I only have one dose of interaction like that.

SPEAKER_02 1:28:13

There's some Starzan there's some some Starzan magazines you can maybe consider pornography, but he does not use them as pornography.

SPEAKER_05 1:28:19

I thought you meant magazines of Starzan. That too.

SPEAKER_10 1:28:22

That's what I thought too.

SPEAKER_05 1:28:24

Oh. This is uh it's Star Girl magazine.

SPEAKER_10 1:28:27

Well Starzan action figure with a removable loincloth.

SPEAKER_11 1:28:32

He still has the the chassis belt though.

SPEAKER_05 1:28:36

As no reason put a camera in the shower.

SPEAKER_10 1:28:42

Look, we gotta make money somehow.

SPEAKER_02 1:28:45

We gotta make money somehow.

SPEAKER_10 1:28:47

But uh yeah, we can totally uh pretend like we have drugs and magazines. Drugs and pornography. Like you actually have the drugs and pornography though, right? Yeah, yeah, I have it. But okay, good.

SPEAKER_02 1:28:58

You know yeah. But it's on our ship. That it is on our ship, yes. Uh we can absolutely do that.

SPEAKER_05 1:29:06

And she comes down the ramp and she starts talking to the mind foreman and she like is pointing back at your ship. Do we hear what she's saying? You can't hear what she's saying unless you're are you leaving your ship?

SPEAKER_10 1:29:17

I don't should we?

SPEAKER_02 1:29:19

L leave our ship? I think I mean we kinda have to, don't we?

SPEAKER_10 1:29:23

Yeah.

SPEAKER_05 1:29:26

Yeah. Can leave the ship and uh look sketchy.

SPEAKER_06 1:29:29

She and this scrungly looking old human dude come up to you and he says, So, uh, Captain tells me that you want to uh sign up to become rig pigs, is that true?

SPEAKER_10 1:29:43

Hell yeah it is.

SPEAKER_06 1:29:44

Alright, uh well, you ever mind Tabanagas before?

SPEAKER_02 1:29:49

Uh no, not uh not as I remember. Nope, but we're able-bodied and willing to learn.

SPEAKER_06 1:29:55

Alright, can you uh read at a tecond grade level?

SPEAKER_10 1:29:58

Yes we can.

SPEAKER_06 1:29:59

Alright, you're overqualified.

SPEAKER_02 1:30:01

Did you say Tekken grade level or second grade level?

SPEAKER_10 1:30:05

Tekken grade.

SPEAKER_02 1:30:06

Yes.

SPEAKER_10 1:30:07

Oh no, oh sorry, no, I meant no. We can read at a first grade level.

SPEAKER_02 1:30:11

I just pass. I am so smart. S M R T.

SPEAKER_05 1:30:16

Well, the Rigs, the equipment we use, has a uh joystick button combo, so unless you can read at a teken grade level, uh you need some good hand-eye coordination for what we're doing.

SPEAKER_06 1:30:26

How's your agility?

SPEAKER_10 1:30:28

Uh my mine's good. I have an agility at all.

SPEAKER_07 1:30:32

Not great. Oh well.

SPEAKER_02 1:30:34

I'm I'm I'm I got three for agility.

SPEAKER_06 1:30:37

So yeah, it's kind of Ah you'll do. Uh just a word of warning, we don't have any repulsor packs, so uh ca you gotta wanna strap yourselves in.

SPEAKER_05 1:30:46

Okay. One of those. Any points, and there's these like lined up they kind of look like like the alien sort of like uh mech suit harnesses, but they have like repulsors on them.

SPEAKER_10 1:30:59

Ooh.

SPEAKER_05 1:31:00

They do not look safe.

SPEAKER_10 1:31:02

Like all the time, or just like if we're doing work?

SPEAKER_05 1:31:05

Well, just if you're doing work.

SPEAKER_06 1:31:08

It's what we haul the uh haul the gas with. We don't have uh the kind of budget for big boy speeders out here.

SPEAKER_09 1:31:15

You know what, sir?

SPEAKER_10 1:31:16

That looks fine. Well you know what, and if we die, our lives won't work that much in the first place.

SPEAKER_06 1:31:22

Alright, you wanna you wanna tour or you wanna just get straight to work?

SPEAKER_09 1:31:26

Yeah, let's do a tour. Let's do a tour.

SPEAKER_06 1:31:28

Alright, follow me, uh it ain't gonna be clean, but just uh watch your step. The shitter's been uh broken for a couple of months, so usually the boys just go over the edge now.

SPEAKER_09 1:31:42

Oh, that's nice.

SPEAKER_06 1:31:43

Is there is there TP for my bung home? No. We uh have to ration our consumables.

SPEAKER_05 1:31:51

I think Cap in there just brought a new shipment, if I'm uh if I'm correct. And you know from investigating her cargo that all she brought was ration packets. However, ration packets do have uh little uh foil wrappers that you could use to wipe your buttholes.

SPEAKER_10 1:32:06

Yeah, you can just scrape the poop off with that.

SPEAKER_11 1:32:10

Is there three sheet shit. Seashells.

SPEAKER_10 1:32:16

Uh fancy Oh man, yeah, there's fancy boy over here.

SPEAKER_06 1:32:23

Yeah, just try uh just try to use the wrappers of your uh rations. But uh do it, do it, uh eat the food before you use it though.

SPEAKER_09 1:32:32

Oh yeah, before we use it.

SPEAKER_11 1:32:34

That's uh Star Tender's that down.

SPEAKER_09 1:32:38

But yeah, grand tour, grand tour.

SPEAKER_06 1:32:40

Yeah, so he so he leads you across the walkways and shows you where everything is, and he says, uh, so uh these are our silos, these ones sticking up here, these are where we load the gas, those ones sticking down there, those ones have uh been broken ever since I've been here. Never used them. We uh got a crew that's been trying to fix them up, but they're pretty delicate. They uh we don't really see them too often. I think they're skyven off personally, but apparently uh the owner of the mine, I think they're his kids or something. So we just kinda let them pretend to try and fix those silos. It's a nice it's a nice project to keep them out of people's hair. We don't want them actually interfering in business. They all got those snooty correscent accents.

SPEAKER_02 1:33:32

Oh yes, the snooty correscent accents. I cannot stand that accent.

SPEAKER_06 1:33:38

Yeah, buddy over here, you spend some time on Ryloth, my friend. I spent a couple of nights on Ryloth with my friends.

SPEAKER_02 1:33:51

What was that? You can't go physically lower.

SPEAKER_11 1:33:55

So I'm gonna stay here. You you went uh full Harvey Feyrstein.

SPEAKER_02 1:34:05

That was incredible. Oh, I'm gonna make you look like Mrs. Downfire now.

SPEAKER_10 1:34:13

Cause like when he when he mentions that about the the other the the silos, and it's like, oh, like, you know, the kids using them as the project. Um, would I be able to kind of like take a look around and see if I can spot anyone like going to or from those silos?

SPEAKER_05 1:34:32

Yeah, you can like squint and see some little figures in the distance that are sort of walking around patrolling almost the silos.

SPEAKER_10 1:34:40

Okay, like what what kind of security does it look like?

SPEAKER_05 1:34:43

Uh, not too heavy. Again, it seems like they're using like camouflage rather than very heavy security. There's just like a handful of people. It seems like each silo, there's maybe half a dozen of these big silos, and it seems like each one of them has someone who's kind of doing these lazy laps around them.

SPEAKER_10 1:35:00

Okay. So let's try think. So about how many silos are there?

SPEAKER_05 1:35:08

About half a dozen of the uh half a dozen. They're they're like all of the operational real silos seem to be like on top of the walkways, and all of the fake ones seem to be hung, kind of slung underneath them.

SPEAKER_02 1:35:21

Where in context where we are is what we're looking for? Or can we can we get like a better idea of where these uh where our friends are?

SPEAKER_10 1:35:32

Well, because they'd be in the silos, but it's like maybe we need to try to figure out somewhere where we can like look a check on a computer to figure out like which silo people are in. If we can search up like prisoner records if there's anyone else we haven't thought of who might be in here.

SPEAKER_02 1:35:49

Can we find a control room of some type?

SPEAKER_05 1:35:52

Uh there probably would be at least some kind of like administrative building for that half of the operation. But your your tour guide wants you to get to work.

SPEAKER_10 1:36:03

Oh yeah, you know, you point us in the direction, we'll uh we'll go get to work.

SPEAKER_06 1:36:07

Alright, so uh did you read the safety pamphlet?

SPEAKER_10 1:36:11

No.

SPEAKER_05 1:36:12

Doesn't matter, okay. So and he takes you back to where those sort of repulsor lift mech suits are. And he says, uh, alright.

SPEAKER_06 1:36:20

So just uh climb in, throttles there, lift is there, pitch yaw. Uh you can operate the mandibles with the grabbers, foot pedals control your speed. And uh I guess just hook this clip onto your belt buckle. That's probably the safest way.

SPEAKER_10 1:36:41

Okay, so I guess theoretically we could use these to like fly down to the silos.

SPEAKER_02 1:36:45

I still don't have my jetpack, do I? That's a shame.

SPEAKER_10 1:36:48

You gotta use you gotta use the dangerous mech suit to fly.

SPEAKER_02 1:36:52

Oh, but I hate it.

SPEAKER_10 1:36:54

You don't even know if you hate it. You haven't even tried it yet. Maybe you'll love it.

SPEAKER_02 1:36:58

Maybe I'll love it.

SPEAKER_10 1:37:00

You can't say you hate something until you at least try it.

SPEAKER_02 1:37:03

Can't always get what you want, but if you try sometimes, you just might find what you need.

SPEAKER_06 1:37:08

Alright, so you're gonna be going out to the balloons in uh southern sector 6C, okay?

SPEAKER_02 1:37:15

Is it supposed to be hard to breathe when we get here?

SPEAKER_06 1:37:18

Yeah, you got a uh an oxygen mask hanging up there on the uh the inside of your little suit. Uh you probably got an hour's worth of air. So uh try to breathe slow, try not to waste it, because we're not expecting a shipment of more canisters uh for another week.

SPEAKER_10 1:37:35

You you got it, no heavy breathing. Does this guy just like wander off and uh assume we'll figure out where to go?

SPEAKER_05 1:37:42

Yeah.

SPEAKER_10 1:37:43

Okay, who else is around here?

SPEAKER_05 1:37:45

Anyone else? Lalo's there.

SPEAKER_10 1:37:47

Lalo's there, okay. Uh how do we want to do this? Do we want to try get outside of Lalo and then like swoop down? Because I also I have the slug thrower suppressor, so if we're able to kind of like catch a guard on their lazy circuit where they're not inside of anyone else, I could try to like just pick them off and then get access to a silo or if they have like a computer where they can monitor things. Because I guess also we do have Lalo's co- Lalo's code cylinder.

SPEAKER_02 1:38:16

Yes.

SPEAKER_10 1:38:17

Looking down at where the guards are doing their circuits, does it look like there's any like computerized stuff attached to them to the silos?

SPEAKER_05 1:38:25

So there's like walkways along like the bottom, there's ladders and turbo lifts that go all the way down. There's also like walkways around the top of the silos as well that are kind of like flush with the main walkway levels of the facility. And there is also an administrative building that's kind of nestled in between those half dozen silos that is sort of on top of everything.

SPEAKER_10 1:38:52

Can is there like a window in the administrative building? Can we see who might be in there?

SPEAKER_05 1:38:57

Yeah, there's there's windows there. If you uh pull up this pull up your scope on your uh rifle, you can see that it's just like people dressed in the same sort of uh mining outfits as your tour guide.

SPEAKER_02 1:39:11

Can we uh find uh can we see a path to get there?

SPEAKER_05 1:39:15

Yeah, you could just walk over. It's all like they're they're pretending to be a part of the same base, but they're apparently uh uh pretending to be like layabout fail sons of the owners of the mining operation.

SPEAKER_10 1:39:29

Yeah, just walk in our mech suits over that way, I guess.

SPEAKER_02 1:39:32

Just just without, you know, just um casually. Yeah.

SPEAKER_05 1:39:36

Uh non-conspicuously. So you can approach in your in your mech suits and one of one of the uh quote unquote miners from the prison side comes up to you and says, uh, excuse me, are you on shift?

SPEAKER_02 1:39:50

Uh yeah, we're uh we were t uh we were told that there might be uh uh some cookies at the in the break room.

SPEAKER_05 1:40:00

Oh no, we don't have any uh cookies in this break room here. You might be going back to the main facility. We're trying to get the silos up and running. Uh they're defunct.

SPEAKER_02 1:40:09

There's nothing over here for you. That's a that's uh that's the other thing. We're here to help with the sci uh with the silos. I don't believe so.

SPEAKER_05 1:40:16

I haven't been told that we would be receiving any additional assistance.

SPEAKER_02 1:40:21

We're here to I that's what I should have spent my money on. I should have spent my money being like, we are here for some silos.

SPEAKER_10 1:40:30

Oh, unless okay, because like we might wanna we might want to save Lalo's code cylinder, but we do have Gray's if it's like no no don't if we just want to be like, don't worry, ISB sent us. But it's just this one person who's stopping us.

SPEAKER_08 1:40:44

Yeah.

SPEAKER_10 1:40:44

I mean, I'm a better liar. Maybe I'll use I'll I'll use Gray's code cylinder, save Lalo's for if we need to uh get anywhere base specific, and I'll be like, oh, uh, don't worry about that, ISP sent us.

SPEAKER_05 1:40:58

And you can hold out the code cylinder and he says, Let me plug it in.

SPEAKER_09 1:41:02

Okay.

SPEAKER_05 1:41:02

And he takes it, he pulls out his data pad, he plugs in the code cylinder, and he says, Huh. It's legitimate, but you don't have clearance, Gray.

SPEAKER_09 1:41:10

Oh yeah, no, we were told that you get us set up with that here once we arrived.

SPEAKER_05 1:41:15

That's not protocol.

SPEAKER_10 1:41:16

Oh look, man, I just worked there. I was they just loaded up the permission onto my code cylinder. But you know, I got my technician here, it's gonna help you guys out.

SPEAKER_05 1:41:24

And he taps his data pad. He says, hmm. Uh, just a sec. I'm downloading an update. Maybe that will solve it.

SPEAKER_10 1:41:30

Is this guy alone?

SPEAKER_05 1:41:31

And he looks back at you and he looks down at the data pad.

SPEAKER_10 1:41:35

Is it the ID picture?

SPEAKER_05 1:41:38

Not the ID picture.

SPEAKER_10 1:41:40

He says the status.

SPEAKER_05 1:41:41

Yeah. You're looking well, Gray, for somebody who's dead.

SPEAKER_10 1:41:45

Is this guy alone? Is there anyone else here?

SPEAKER_07 1:41:48

He's deep undercover. He's deep undercover.

SPEAKER_10 1:41:51

Yeah, I'm deep undercover. You might- I mean, like, look, this is all makeup that I'm wearing. Like, no one's supposed to know I'm alive.

SPEAKER_05 1:41:59

He starts he starts reaching for the calm link on his belt.

SPEAKER_10 1:42:02

Okay, I I've asked. Are there any other witnesses here? Out here?

SPEAKER_05 1:42:07

No. Can Starzan Chokovich? You guys are in uh giant mining, like alien-style mech suits. He is a guy. You could knock him off a platform. Yeah, you could just slap slap him off the platform. Do we have it? It would be a coordination to knock him off the platform. Who's the most coordinated?

SPEAKER_10 1:42:26

Uh I have a yellow three green.

SPEAKER_05 1:42:28

Well, Calla, you'd be the closest because you had to hand him the code cylinder.

SPEAKER_10 1:42:31

That's true. I probably have I I think I have the best agility, anyways. Yeah. What would that be to just slap him off the platform?

SPEAKER_07 1:42:39

We are really doing good with our morality today.

SPEAKER_10 1:42:42

Look. But do enough. This is to save our friend. Two purple?

SPEAKER_02 1:42:48

Yeah. No, your name is Zinn.

SPEAKER_10 1:42:53

Uh, one success to advantage. He doesn't even reach the code cylinder, he's gone.

SPEAKER_05 1:42:58

Do you want to just knock him off off, or do you want to uh does he does his foot get tangled in like one of the secure cables?

SPEAKER_10 1:43:06

Like, does he just dangle instead?

SPEAKER_05 1:43:08

Yeah.

SPEAKER_10 1:43:09

To protect my morality? Yeah, if maybe uh maybe he's well okay. I I didn't get that much advantage. What if his foot gets tangled and he just swings? The c the the radio falls off his belt, but he swings enough that he clonks his head and he gets knocked out. Well Or if my my smack him would probably knock him out.

SPEAKER_05 1:43:27

You can you can either yeah, you can either save him or have him drop his Comlink.

SPEAKER_10 1:43:32

Uh, you know what? I'll save him. If if my smack would knock him out, but it's like the the the cables would kind of stop him from actually falling.

SPEAKER_05 1:43:39

Yeah, can knock him into the cables when he uh he gets tangled up in there. He'll probably have a a fright when he wakes up. But uh he does still have the commink on his belt. So he will be able to call when he does wake up.

SPEAKER_10 1:43:53

That's okay. Unless one of us just wants to go and grab that off him if we can reach him.

SPEAKER_05 1:43:58

I mean, can can can these mech suits fly? Yeah, yeah, they're designed for uh pulling in to ban a gas mine balloons. Yeah, I could probably go down. I can probably go and grab it. Okay, so that'd be a piloting planetary.

SPEAKER_02 1:44:10

Yeah, dog, let's do.

SPEAKER_05 1:44:12

Uh it's pretty precision work, so it'll probably be a three purple and a black. Three purple and a black.

SPEAKER_11 1:44:17

How good is Chris at uh piloting planetary?

SPEAKER_02 1:44:20

I mean, I'm pretty good at it, actually. Well, two green and a yellow, so. One failure, but two advantages.

SPEAKER_10 1:44:28

Maybe you can't grab it, but you just like knock it off uh into the the abyss, anyways.

SPEAKER_05 1:44:34

Yeah, you can like you can't have it for yourself, but you can unclip his entire belt. His pants, his pants come loose around his ankles.

SPEAKER_02 1:44:44

Oh. Uh I swear I don't mean to do that.

SPEAKER_10 1:44:48

Yeah, then when they find him, when he wakes- and when he wakes up and he gets found, it's gonna be like, Gerald doing your pitting again.

SPEAKER_11 1:44:56

Look, when you're sub when you're trying to do auto-erotification, the cord's supposed to go around your neck, not your foot. It's my first time.

SPEAKER_08 1:45:05

It's my first time. I got scared. I got scared! I got an autoerotic sophistication.

SPEAKER_11 1:45:15

The foot is just as good. It's okay.

SPEAKER_08 1:45:17

Look, I didn't want to mess it up and uh have a bad end.

SPEAKER_02 1:45:21

I don't I don't I don't want to be like Keith Garrett. People who are doing autoerotic sofistication are not thinking about like what if I die? They're like, maybe I'll die. Then we fucking do it.

SPEAKER_10 1:45:35

He's not very good at autoerotic asphyxiation. He's just trying it on for size.

SPEAKER_11 1:45:41

He's like, I hear it feels better.

SPEAKER_10 1:45:42

I don't get it.

SPEAKER_11 1:45:44

Level one.

SPEAKER_10 1:45:45

I want to understand. Oh, this poor guy. Okay, well, he's alive. He's alive and unconscious. Yeah.

SPEAKER_05 1:45:51

With his pants down. So uh we're with Agent Carradine out of the way, you can continue on.

SPEAKER_10 1:45:57

So there's Gray's code cylinder burned, I guess. So we still have Lalo's. Uh man, I guess we could have stolen that guards, too, but you know, they might actually notice if it's someone that they know and hang out with. And uh, so we can get to the control room.

SPEAKER_05 1:46:14

Yeah, you can get to the control room. There is also uh a couple of people in there.

SPEAKER_02 1:46:21

Judo chop. There's a couple people in there. Can we blend in with them pretty well?

SPEAKER_05 1:46:27

Or I mean, you would have been given mining coveralls for your work. If we got you'd be dressed the same, but I guess not, yeah. This is a pretty small, tight-knit group.

SPEAKER_02 1:46:38

Yeah. Can can we uh can we give them ropes so that they can tie themselves up?

SPEAKER_10 1:46:44

Like if if it's like we come in with our guns, our guns out and it's like nah, tie yourselves up. And we could just like, hey, this is a stick-up.

SPEAKER_02 1:46:53

We really uh we really fuck. Um, let's see.

SPEAKER_05 1:46:59

So there's only two people in there or like a couple, like a few? There's there's two people in there that are kind of working at terminals. Can we stealth in there?

SPEAKER_10 1:47:09

We could maybe stealth in there if they're like facing the same way and then just like knock them out.

SPEAKER_02 1:47:14

Like coconuts?

SPEAKER_10 1:47:16

Yeah. Yeah. Sarzan?

SPEAKER_02 1:47:19

I can knock them. Get your coconuts ready.

SPEAKER_10 1:47:21

Are they are they facing the same way? Could they be knocked?

SPEAKER_05 1:47:24

Uh they're not facing the same way. They're not uh within engaged range of each other. They're they're on opposite sides of the room.

SPEAKER_10 1:47:31

Can I sometimes stun settings? Mine doesn't.

SPEAKER_05 1:47:37

Your gun has bullet settings.

SPEAKER_10 1:47:39

Yeah. Mine is kill settings.

SPEAKER_11 1:47:42

My guns are my arms.

SPEAKER_10 1:47:43

I mean, unless like Starzan just tries to book it in and knock out the one who's closest to us, and Elyria tries to stun shot, stun-shoot the one on the other side of the room.

SPEAKER_07 1:47:54

Yeah. Remember, when knocking people out, that gives them brain damage.

unknown 1:47:58

Yeah, yeah.

SPEAKER_02 1:47:59

Yeah, but there's plausible deniability, like Batman. Like Batman, he's just asleep.

SPEAKER_10 1:48:05

Look, Starzan reads at a first grade level. He doesn't know that.

SPEAKER_07 1:48:09

Clunk heads together, go sleepy time. Yeah.

SPEAKER_00 1:48:12

So when Starzan goes to sleep, he died?

SPEAKER_10 1:48:15

Yup. Incredible. He give you a paranoia now.

SPEAKER_11 1:48:22

When we all go to sleep, where do we go?

SPEAKER_10 1:48:24

Death.

SPEAKER_11 1:48:25

Death. Alright, I will uh the closest guy out of his socks.

SPEAKER_05 1:48:31

Okay, so you can enter, the door slides open, and uh one of them looks up at you and he says, Carroting back from Patrol. Hey, you're not carroting.

SPEAKER_07 1:48:42

I blast the further one.

SPEAKER_05 1:48:45

Blast him, give me uh one purple.

SPEAKER_07 1:48:48

Two failure or two advantage.

SPEAKER_05 1:48:50

You can uh blast the uh alarm console that he was gonna press.

SPEAKER_03 1:48:55

That's good.

SPEAKER_05 1:48:56

They're gonna pull up their blasters and they're aiming at you guys.

SPEAKER_10 1:49:02

Or then be able to get a smash.

SPEAKER_11 1:49:06

I got two success, two advantage, five light side.

SPEAKER_10 1:49:10

Holy shit! If you do well enough, maybe instead of knocking him out, you could just pick them up and throw them into the other.

SPEAKER_05 1:49:21

Yeah, you can use them as an improvised throne weapon, pick one guy up, throw him into the other. Perfect.

SPEAKER_10 1:49:27

Knock them both out, baby.

SPEAKER_05 1:49:28

The sound effect is a bunch of bowling pins. Yeah, like the matrix reloaded. So now you have access to their computers.

SPEAKER_10 1:49:37

Okay, let's check out the computers. So do we wanna look at uh prisoner logs? See who's in here.

SPEAKER_05 1:49:43

Yeah, do you want to plug in uh Lalo's code cylinder? Or do you wanna try and slice it?

SPEAKER_10 1:49:49

What do we think? Do we wanna do we wanna save Lalo's code cylinder for when we actually get down there? I mean, I suppose all these technicians would also have code cylinders.

SPEAKER_07 1:49:57

I can try to steal everyone's code cylinders.

SPEAKER_05 1:50:00

Like they probably actually would still be logged in because the interrupter wouldn't work.

SPEAKER_07 1:50:04

Hell yeah.

SPEAKER_05 1:50:05

So you can access the computers, uh, go to the prisoner logs, and you can see that there are a lot. Dang. More than it seems like there would be room for cells inside these silos.

SPEAKER_10 1:50:20

Oh, are they are they uh are they uh oh my god. What's the word I'm thinking of? Frozen.

SPEAKER_05 1:50:26

Yeah, so you can see that each of the prisoners, besides their name, also has a status readout for their carbonite slab.

SPEAKER_10 1:50:33

Carbonite! My brain kept thinking kryptonite, and I'm like, no, that's not right. Oh, so they're all carbonited. I guess it's probably better than them being conscious.

SPEAKER_05 1:50:43

They are conscious.

SPEAKER_08 1:50:45

Oh no!

SPEAKER_05 1:50:46

Oh no. Yeah, being being frozen in carbonite doesn't mean you're asleep. Uh Han Solo described it as a big wide awake nothing.

SPEAKER_02 1:50:55

Oh boy. That's that would be so boring. I mean, that would be terrifying, honestly. To be conscious, I mean I'm sure you sleep a bit.

SPEAKER_10 1:51:05

Just give me death instead at that point. Oh my god. Okay, can we can we see like uh because any I with the exception of Severance, anyone who's like specifically it was put here because they are allied with us is probably gonna be like within the last few months. Could we like check out prisoners in order of incarceration date?

SPEAKER_05 1:51:24

Uh well if you because there is one that you know the name of. So you can find her, and there is a case file attached to it. Ooh. Oh. And if you go to the case file, it appears to be the case file for you guys.

SPEAKER_10 1:51:44

Oh.

SPEAKER_05 1:51:45

So who else is uh locked up in connection to us? Lots of people who you probably don't know the names of. Uh there's a few that might pop up as like, oh, I know that name. Um, Queen Jewel is there, the hut. Oh, Queen Jewel! You can see that like they have mug shots. The duro that sold you your gun is in there. This the student improv group is frozen in Carbonite. Oh my god. Fucking it seems to mostly be like all people from Coruscant.

SPEAKER_02 1:52:19

Oh, what a trip down memory lane.

SPEAKER_10 1:52:23

Man, that's more than I was expecting. I don't know if we like who can we or do we want to get out?

SPEAKER_05 1:52:30

Yeah, if if it's any if it's somebody you met on Coruscant and they're not like a major person like a Jedi, uh, they're in there.

SPEAKER_09 1:52:37

Shit, really?

SPEAKER_05 1:52:39

Are we that? Oh no. We're oh no.

SPEAKER_10 1:52:42

Oh no, do that dusty old Rodian who ran the the uh arcade cover that was also a uh a drug dealer.

SPEAKER_02 1:52:50

Yeah.

SPEAKER_10 1:52:50

Oh no.

SPEAKER_02 1:52:52

They got everybody. It got Bobby? It got everyone.

SPEAKER_10 1:52:57

Okay, what are the names that we actually recognize at least?

SPEAKER_05 1:53:01

Uh the ones that you would recognize that aren't just people you bumped into uh one time, would it's just Zin and Severance.

SPEAKER_10 1:53:10

Oh, not Argo.

SPEAKER_05 1:53:12

Not Argo.

SPEAKER_10 1:53:13

Okay. Hmm.

SPEAKER_02 1:53:15

Can I can we can we unfrost them all, maybe?

SPEAKER_05 1:53:22

I mean, you could do we have time for that? There's lots of people who are imprisoned here.

SPEAKER_11 1:53:27

You could Yeah, but like I'm sure they deserve a second chance. Even if there's some murderers and it's a good thing. I mean, we're good people.

SPEAKER_02 1:53:34

We're good people now. We give people second chances. Yeah, clemency.

SPEAKER_10 1:53:38

Gray did say that there might be kids locked up here too. But it's like, how many prisoners are we talking about? Because like six. Can we tell the difference?

SPEAKER_02 1:53:46

Can we tell the difference between like, oh, these are good people and oh these are bad people?

SPEAKER_05 1:53:52

I mean, you can see that like there's six silos. Each silo has about a hundred carbonite slabs in it.

SPEAKER_10 1:53:58

Like, we can't fit 600 people on our ship.

SPEAKER_11 1:54:01

Are the are the slabs labeled differently? Like this one's like murderers. This one says children.

SPEAKER_05 1:54:06

They're they're labeled only by the case file.

SPEAKER_09 1:54:09

Oh.

SPEAKER_02 1:54:10

Hmm. Can we use that in any way?

SPEAKER_10 1:54:13

I'm trying to think.

SPEAKER_11 1:54:15

What grade of reading level would you say you'd have to be to read this piece of things?

SPEAKER_10 1:54:19

Is there is there a case file regarding the Jedi? Like if there's any people who are specifically locked up who were Jedi?

SPEAKER_05 1:54:25

Roll me a knowledge education.

SPEAKER_10 1:54:28

Oh no. Hilary.

SPEAKER_07 1:54:32

What kind of education?

SPEAKER_05 1:54:34

Probably a three purple.

SPEAKER_07 1:54:37

One success, one triumph. Okay. Oh night.

SPEAKER_10 1:54:40

Hilary, I'm too dumb.

SPEAKER_05 1:54:41

You're so smart. You can identify there is a common prefix uh shared between Zin and Severance. Severance was just like a random person that was locked up because she was, you know, a person of interest. Severance, uh Zin also was locked up because of her connection to you. There is a case file. But on her and Severance's sort of prisoner ID numbers, there is also a uh common prefix M plus.

SPEAKER_10 1:55:12

Oh, like Metaclorians.

SPEAKER_05 1:55:14

So that would be they do have there is a way to sort for people that have elevated M counts.

SPEAKER_10 1:55:20

Ha how many how many uh how many elevated M count people are in here?

SPEAKER_05 1:55:25

A couple of dozen.

SPEAKER_10 1:55:26

Because like we could get out all the four sensitives, if nothing else, because that's probably gonna be a lot of Jedi other uh can we we can't sort by age. Can we see if there's kids in the mix here?

SPEAKER_05 1:55:38

I mean you can sort by uh date interred.

SPEAKER_02 1:55:41

I think the best thing we might be able to do with this. Is there is there a way that we could come back later? Cause like I because like this place probably should get brought down, but we probably should focus on who we came here to get. I don't know, I don't know if we have the ability to find out about anybody else.

SPEAKER_10 1:56:04

But I mean like, okay, like the people we came here to get, that's Severance and Zinn.

SPEAKER_02 1:56:09

Yeah.

SPEAKER_10 1:56:09

But if we're to like, and cause if we're talking like every random person we met on Coruscant, like obviously not. And also like Queen Jewel, we don't even want her out. She's the one who she almost killed us.

SPEAKER_02 1:56:21

Yeah.

SPEAKER_10 1:56:21

And made us feel very embarrassed, even though I was able to steal some of her jewelry and Zella for 500 bucks. That's besides the point. But like, if we're talking like, oh, like Jedi slash Jedi Padawans who have been locked up, that would be like very good allies as well. Especially if it's like, okay, we can bring them to this powerful light side temple.

SPEAKER_02 1:56:42

Can we figure that out?

SPEAKER_10 1:56:44

Like, where are are they kind of interred in the same sort of silo, all the M count people?

SPEAKER_05 1:56:50

So roll me a probably knowledge education to to figure out how the uh how the storage system works via two purple. Illyria, please.

SPEAKER_08 1:57:02

Illyria. Illyria. Illyria Oh wow.

SPEAKER_11 1:57:07

One success, one threat. I rolled two greens and I got one success and one thread.

SPEAKER_07 1:57:14

Dang. Four success, one advantage.

SPEAKER_10 1:57:17

I think Illyria has it.

SPEAKER_11 1:57:19

Oh yeah.

SPEAKER_10 1:57:19

Sorry, no offense, Starzan. I feel like Illyria.

SPEAKER_05 1:57:24

Illyria. You can see that like these silos are pretty big, but they're also like, you can also like look out the window and see this, uh, because there are ships coming in. These Tabanagas silos, they're designed. This is a mine. They're not, it's not the pumps. These silos are designed to be carried by freighters.

SPEAKER_10 1:57:47

Oh.

SPEAKER_05 1:57:49

So you could just take an entire silo.

SPEAKER_10 1:57:51

We could just take an entire silo. Get the magnet.

SPEAKER_05 1:57:55

However, Starzan, uh, you've got a threat on yours. Yes. So, uh you've got one ship, maybe two, if you can convince Lalo to help you. Uh, but it seems like the M plus people are not all in one silo. It seems like a lot of them, like most of the more recent ones, are in one silo that includes Zin, but any of the ones that would have been like put in there during the war that have Severance in are in a separate silo.

SPEAKER_10 1:58:32

Hmm. What do we think? Well, Chris, do you think you could go and fuck that lady again and maybe like, by the way, help us get this people out? I mean. How powerful are you? I mean, I know that the answer is exceedingly, but I'm just one man, but I am the whole man.

SPEAKER_07 1:58:50

I mean, we could also just steal her ship from her. How many people are?

SPEAKER_05 1:58:54

So you say we could just steal her ship from her. She's standing in the doorway now with her gun out, and she says, I don't think so. What is going on here?

SPEAKER_09 1:59:04

Oh, come on, Lalo.

SPEAKER_07 1:59:07

We meant another her.

SPEAKER_02 1:59:08

We have we have a c uh we're just looking for a couple of friends, and and we are uh we are exiting out uh.

SPEAKER_05 1:59:15

You told me you were just trying to start a new life here. I mean I wasn't gonna tell anybody about you, Chris. You were gonna be my dirty little secret.

SPEAKER_04 1:59:24

Well, I do have a dirty uh dirty little secret to me. I know, you need to wash that secret.

SPEAKER_05 1:59:31

I wasn't gonna tell you because it was because it stanks so good, but you gotta clean it.

SPEAKER_08 1:59:36

Oh no, I think that's his family.

SPEAKER_02 1:59:38

And I'm I'm thinking it was like is that is it too much or I I I I I uh okay, yeah, no, no, no. I'll uh yeah, yeah, okay. Um, but no, no, that's not that that is not the secret. And unf uh we are looking for some f uh we're looking for some friends. And we are uh going to take so those friends and we are going to go out because it is the right thing to do. Do you really do you really think the Empire has your best uh uh wants and needs in your mind? Just can you ima can you imagine uh having a time like we had all uh all the time with a bunch of good people who are very good at sex?

SPEAKER_05 2:00:24

Uh give me a give me a charm. Let's do it. So that'll be a uh red and two purple.

SPEAKER_02 2:00:31

Can I get any kind of bonus because I was uh I mean you have your pheromones.

SPEAKER_05 2:00:36

That's fair. Oh yeah, that is true. Yeah, three success.

SPEAKER_09 2:00:39

Oh hell yeah.

SPEAKER_05 2:00:40

She says, you know what, you're right. I think Nuru's in one of those silos.

SPEAKER_09 2:00:43

Who?

SPEAKER_05 2:00:45

The pad one I worked with.

SPEAKER_08 2:00:46

Oh, did you bring him here? Oh, what?

SPEAKER_05 2:00:49

Yeah, after the war I lied about not knowing where he was. Figured it was better than uh have him hunted down by by clones.

SPEAKER_09 2:00:58

Yeah, man.

SPEAKER_02 2:00:59

We could get we could get him out of here for you if uh we could get him out uh out of here and uh get all of you to safety if need be. You know some very safe locations.

SPEAKER_09 2:01:09

You know, like the fact that you brought him here at all, like that means that you're wanting to do the right thing, doesn't it? And you you want to get your back blown out real good, aren't ya?

SPEAKER_02 2:01:18

Let's not go crazy.

SPEAKER_10 2:01:22

Can we can we look up what cell this newer is in?

SPEAKER_05 2:01:25

I'll tell you, and I'll help you on one condition. What is that condition? And sh she gets down on one knee. And she says, Chris.

SPEAKER_02 2:01:34

Oh no.

SPEAKER_05 2:01:35

You have to make me your one and only.

SPEAKER_07 2:01:38

Oh Um. It's okay, we'll defrost uh your girlfriend later.

SPEAKER_02 2:01:47

Uh no, no, no, no. We're we're here for sin.

SPEAKER_10 2:01:51

What if I offer you the next best thing and when we get my girlfriend out? Chris, I'm I'm the captain of a ship.

SPEAKER_05 2:01:57

I'm able to do it legally, I'm able to do it.

SPEAKER_02 2:02:00

Do what?

SPEAKER_08 2:02:01

Mary.

SPEAKER_02 2:02:04

Oh. Oh. Oh. Um, and I look over and I'm like, uh, uh, just uh Like look, isn't isn't the part of what makes it so wild and sexy, the fact that he can't be tied down?

SPEAKER_10 2:02:21

Isn't that part of what makes it good for you?

SPEAKER_02 2:02:24

What she said.

SPEAKER_10 2:02:25

Like, imagine, you know, like right now that's Chris Sahn. He's a wild rogue who you never know when he might turn up and uh change your life forever, but if he's tied down, well then he's just Chris. He's just some guy, you know.

SPEAKER_02 2:02:38

But listen, listen, for the love of God, you've just met you just met me.

SPEAKER_10 2:02:43

Yeah.

SPEAKER_02 2:02:44

And we I no uh listen, I understand completely that uh we had a pretty intense moment, and I completely understand that, but uh we just met. Yeah, I feel like it you can't. I feel like we will be uh if somebody who's wanting this amount of commitment right away is uh is wild to me.

SPEAKER_10 2:03:10

Like, I you gotta at least do a three-way with that with him before you can ask him to like totally commit.

SPEAKER_05 2:03:17

If you had tasted what I've tasted, you wouldn't want anyone else to have it.

SPEAKER_02 2:03:24

Don't tempt her with that. Anyway. Um I uh I say I say. Oh fuck, it was too good. I didn't get any threats, though. I didn't get any advantages, but I didn't get any threats.

SPEAKER_10 2:03:36

You made it too good, Chris. You made it too good.

SPEAKER_05 2:03:39

The ISB demands only the most loyal. I am incredibly loyal, Chris. Holy shit.

SPEAKER_10 2:03:48

Is this lady gonna become your stalker? I unless we just want to shoot her with a stun gun right now and then take a ship.

SPEAKER_05 2:03:56

Fuck. Chris, we can wear matching shirts. You can have one that says, I love to finger paint, and I can have one that says, I'm paint.

SPEAKER_10 2:04:08

Elyria, you gotta shoot her with a stun gun.

SPEAKER_02 2:04:10

We gotta shoot her with a stun gun, Alyria. You gotta shoot her with a stun gun. I'm not gonna get it.

SPEAKER_07 2:04:18

Okay, so when I miss again, let's uh let's do this. Am I in engaged range? One purple.

SPEAKER_05 2:04:23

Uh you can be within short range, yeah.

SPEAKER_08 2:04:25

Oh god.

SPEAKER_07 2:04:27

Two failure, to advantage.

SPEAKER_05 2:04:28

What? She dodges the stun gun.

SPEAKER_10 2:04:36

Does she dodge the stun gun right into Starzan's arms and he can just clonk her on the head?

SPEAKER_05 2:04:41

No, she rolls back out the door and off the platform and she grabs onto it and she's hanging off the edge. And she says, Chris, Chris, you have to do it, or I'll let go. I'll let go and my death will be on your conscience.

SPEAKER_10 2:04:56

No, it won't be, Chris. No, it won't be. That's none of your fault of that.

SPEAKER_02 2:05:00

Unfortunately, she's kind of right.

SPEAKER_10 2:05:03

Chris, I'm telling you right now, if she if she's threatening you like that, that's nothing to do with you anymore.

SPEAKER_02 2:05:09

Does anybody have any kinda uh uh uh forget uh forget me nouns or um let's see.

SPEAKER_04 2:05:18

Uh do a flip. Chris, I got uh Chris, think about it. It's okay that you're an alien. You can raw dog it and nothing will happen. Why do you think you wouldn't exist?

SPEAKER_08 2:05:31

You'll you'll I knew it was too convincing when you and Edan were flirting. You had a plan! He had a plan the whole time!

SPEAKER_02 2:05:45

Oh Um I grab I grab her arm and I tr I I try to pull her up to save her life.

SPEAKER_04 2:05:54

Um Chris, I accept. Yes! Yes, that's not that's okay.

SPEAKER_10 2:06:01

Just pull her onto the walkway, then Starzan, just clonk her on the head. Just clonk this bitch on the head.

SPEAKER_05 2:06:07

Clunkin'. Give me a two purple brawl. Oh fuck. You're gonna get a despair.

SPEAKER_11 2:06:13

Three success, two advantage, one dark side, three light side.

SPEAKER_02 2:06:18

Use those that's enough for an ad yeah. Just in general. In general, yeah.

SPEAKER_10 2:06:23

Yeah, because using the light side, we still have to like flip a destiny point to take strain. Just you got it.

SPEAKER_05 2:06:28

You got it. So you can wonk her on the head and she falls onto the platform.

SPEAKER_10 2:06:33

Damn, Chris, how good were you? Um was the length of a of, you know, a a serious TV show, but like.

SPEAKER_02 2:06:43

To be honest, that might have been the uh I forget everything that happened. I was completely out of my mind. Anyways, let's go ahead and save my girlfriend.

SPEAKER_10 2:06:54

Yeah, let's go save your girlfriend. We get uh we steal uh Lolo's ship. Lola.

SPEAKER_05 2:06:58

Lolo.

SPEAKER_07 2:07:00

Lolo when you when you say our Lolo, that sounds like you're talking about a grandma. My Lolo.

SPEAKER_08 2:07:06

You fucked her Lolo too good.

SPEAKER_05 2:07:11

Yeah, grandma. You you piped her so good her ancestors felt it.

SPEAKER_11 2:07:21

Like the forest ghost standing by the side of the bed.

SPEAKER_10 2:07:23

Just like, oh my.

SPEAKER_11 2:07:25

Nodding proudly.

SPEAKER_10 2:07:27

Jesus. Okay, so steal the the the the silos that have severance and the one that has Zen in it. That's probably enough. Maybe we'll just have to be selective about who we unthaw because it's like, you know, I don't want to unthaw everyone on our base and then fucking Queen Jewel knows where we're at. I don't want to deal with that. If Queen Jewel is in the same silo as Zen, I assume so.

SPEAKER_05 2:07:52

Yeah, so it seems like everybody like all of the people that they arrested in connection to you would be in the same silo.

SPEAKER_10 2:07:59

Yeah. Okay. Because what what would it be for us to like return to the ships and transport these silos out?

SPEAKER_05 2:08:07

Well, returning to the ships, that you can just go back, but piloting these silos, you'll probably have to hurry. Because uh, remember when there was the recommendation that this Imperial Lieutenant made to patrol the uh sector more closely?

SPEAKER_09 2:08:23

Yeah.

SPEAKER_05 2:08:24

You do hear on the wind uh the wailing of a TIE fighter just doing a uh a flyby.

SPEAKER_10 2:08:32

Uh do they notice all the unconscious bodies?

SPEAKER_05 2:08:35

I mean from the sky, probably not, but you would want to fly in a way that doesn't attract attention.

SPEAKER_10 2:08:41

Okay. We can do that, right? We can fly casual.

SPEAKER_05 2:08:44

Yeah.

SPEAKER_10 2:08:44

With our silos full of prisoners.

SPEAKER_05 2:08:47

So who's gonna fly which ship?

SPEAKER_10 2:08:50

Ooh. Cause our ship, I think, has a plus one to handling. I don't know how good uh Lalo's ship was or is. Because Chris, I think you have the second best agility after.

SPEAKER_02 2:09:03

I I do, so I could I and I'm I I can fly a ship, yes.

SPEAKER_10 2:09:08

Yeah.

SPEAKER_05 2:09:08

Uh yeah, so a YT1760 also has a plus one to handling.

SPEAKER_10 2:09:12

What would it require, like, for actually like grabbing?

SPEAKER_05 2:09:15

That would be a piloting.

SPEAKER_10 2:09:17

A piloting, okay. Cause I mean, the clandestine crow feels like my baby, and I feel like a lot of your fluids are already on the inside of Lalo Ship.

SPEAKER_02 2:09:26

Absolutely fair.

SPEAKER_10 2:09:27

Yeah. And then, like, Starzan and Elyria, if each of you wanted to uh split a part and be co-pilots.

SPEAKER_07 2:09:34

I'll come with you because I don't want to be on ship.

SPEAKER_02 2:09:38

It's only in one room, but it's not like we fucked throughout the entire ship. Isn't it? We only did it in the broom closet. Just don't go in the broom closet.

SPEAKER_10 2:09:50

Chris, I'm just saying that if it was just the broom closet and as blase as you're making it sound, I just feel like if it were me, I would not be prepared to propose matrimony.

SPEAKER_02 2:10:00

Are you saying that as soon as I open the door of the broom broom closet, then my sex waft, my sex aura just sort of like enveloped the ship?

SPEAKER_09 2:10:10

Yeah, kinda.

SPEAKER_11 2:10:10

Sex waft, sex waft, called sex waft.

SPEAKER_02 2:10:14

Sex waft, sex waft. Alright, alright, I'm convinced. Yeah, I'll fly the ship.

SPEAKER_10 2:10:19

Okay.

SPEAKER_05 2:10:20

Okay, so Chris, uh, you can go to the cockpit of the hasty harpy, and when you sit down in the cockpit, uh, first thing you notice that there is like a little not an alarm, but like uh a warning on the ship systems.

SPEAKER_10 2:10:35

Ooh, what does it say?

SPEAKER_05 2:10:36

That there is an obstruction in the air filtration system, uh, specifically in the broom closet.

SPEAKER_08 2:10:46

How how how thick is your waft? Clog the filters!

SPEAKER_05 2:10:51

Not the waft, but if you like take a peek back there, uh some of the drugs she was smuggling spilled into the air filtration system.

SPEAKER_02 2:11:00

Oh yeah, we used some of that. That makes sense. Okay, yeah.

SPEAKER_09 2:11:04

Uh that what does she have? Have any impact back there?

SPEAKER_02 2:11:07

Um, no, no, not this time. This was this was Pury and cocaine. What is that in Star Wars? Impact. Oh, okay, never mind. It was Impact. It's glitter stim.

SPEAKER_10 2:11:19

Uh, glitter stim. Yeah, that's not my shit.

SPEAKER_05 2:11:21

What is glitter stim?

SPEAKER_07 2:11:23

It's from the Han Solo adventure books.

SPEAKER_05 2:11:26

Yeah, it's made by spice spiders. Oh, fuck. Yeah. Uh it's uh I can high off spider shit.

SPEAKER_07 2:11:34

It makes it makes you like uh you can read people's minds or whatever. Oh yeah.

SPEAKER_05 2:11:38

Yeah, you you hallucinate and may have temporary telepathic abilities, which is which could explain why she bonded to you so heavily.

SPEAKER_02 2:11:48

Oh no, I'm I made a wish like that obsession movie that's coming out, now she's gonna smash somebody's head into a pavement.

SPEAKER_10 2:11:56

Look, she might just become a stalker once she uh gains conscience. Again. You know, once she gains pop consciousness.

SPEAKER_05 2:12:02

Or maybe once she's no longer blitzed out of her mind on drugs, she'll uh come down.

SPEAKER_10 2:12:08

Yeah. And then she'll become your enemy forever.

SPEAKER_02 2:12:11

Yeah, I'm I'm expecting that, and I'm immediately sorry, Lalo. I I will forget your name by next week. It's okay. Lalo Shiffering. I should probably write that. I should probably write down her name. Lalo. I've slept with her once.

SPEAKER_10 2:12:25

Ah, but oh what a once.

SPEAKER_02 2:12:27

But oh what a once.

SPEAKER_05 2:12:30

But once you're actually in the cockpit, uh these ties are doing circles, so you'll want to be careful so that'll add a black. Uh just in case anything goes wrong, we'll add a red onto that, so that'll be a red, a purple, and a black piloting if the copilots want to do a two-purple copilot to help.

SPEAKER_10 2:12:46

Oh, is wait, is Lalo's droid still in that ship? Or is it out?

SPEAKER_05 2:12:50

Lalo's droid is still there.

SPEAKER_10 2:12:53

Does it have questions?

SPEAKER_05 2:12:55

And he says, Oh, yes.

SPEAKER_01 2:12:57

Chris, is it? Uh I've turned my audio and photo receptors back on. I assumed that your event is finished. Uh are you my new father now?

SPEAKER_08 2:13:08

Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 2:13:10

I can be Oddy. Very well. And uh I fly. Mistress Lalo asked me to get the wedding registry set up.

SPEAKER_02 2:13:20

Oh man. No. You don't have uh you don't you don't have to do that for now. Um we may we'll we'll talk we'll talk later. Um can you put yourself back into standby for now? Yes, of course, Daddy! Thank thank you, sweetheart.

SPEAKER_10 2:13:37

Uh love this game, man.

SPEAKER_05 2:13:41

So Cleaver can put himself into standby mode while he awaits orders from Daddy. Uh and Starzan, are you copiloting for him?

SPEAKER_11 2:13:49

Yeah, I'll just copilot.

SPEAKER_05 2:13:50

Yeah.

SPEAKER_11 2:13:51

Starzan is just weirded out. Somehow I'm like, why daddy? Two purple?

SPEAKER_05 2:13:57

Yep. Two success. Two success. One thread. Ooh, okay, so you'll have to uh add a black, but you can get rid of that red and just do two purples and two blacks for your piloting. And Illyria, do you want to copilot for Calip? Yes. Okay, that'll be a two purple. How many Dustin Points do we got? You got four. I'm gonna flip one.

SPEAKER_07 2:14:18

Oh my god, one success.

unknown 2:14:19

Oh yeah.

SPEAKER_05 2:14:20

So you can also uh reduce that red to a purple.

SPEAKER_10 2:14:24

Okay, so what's the total dice pool?

SPEAKER_05 2:14:26

Uh for you it's two purple and a black.

SPEAKER_10 2:14:28

Two purple and a black.

SPEAKER_02 2:14:29

Ah, nice. I I got one success, two threat, and a triumph.

SPEAKER_10 2:14:32

One suc or sorry, two success, one advantage, baby. What good?

SPEAKER_02 2:14:36

Yeah, duh. I mean, I got a couple threat, but I did get a triumph.

SPEAKER_05 2:14:40

Yeah, so uh Chris, uh, you got that triumph, so you can very easily pick this thing up. No problem. Are you picking up the one with Zen or the one with Severance? Uh I'm- I'm picking up the one with Zin.

SPEAKER_10 2:14:54

Yeah, we'll go for the one with Severance. You get your Lady Love.

SPEAKER_05 2:14:57

I'm gonna get my Lady Love. And Callie got that advantage as well. Uh, so both of you can pick up your silos with no problems whatsoever. However, Chris, you did get two threats. So down on the platform, Lalo begins to rouse. Uh-oh. She gets up, sees her ship flying away, and she pulls out of her pocket her tracking device.

SPEAKER_08 2:15:29

Uh-oh!

SPEAKER_05 2:15:31
