I'm going to get the first one. I'm going to get the first one. I'm going to get the first one. I'm going to get the first one.
Starting point is 00:03:10 I'm going to get the first one. I'm going to get the first one. I'm going to get the first one. I'm going to get the first one. I'm going to get the first one. I'm going to get the first one. I'm going to get the first one. I'm going to get the first one.
Starting point is 00:03:21 I'm going to get the first one. I'm going to get the first one. I'm going to get the first one. I'm going to get the first one. I'm going to get the first one. I'm going to get the first one. I'm going to get the first one. I'm going to get the first one. I'm going a good guy. I'm not a good guy. I'm not a good guy. God! Something terrible just happened.
Starting point is 00:03:45 I knew that you. I'm so sorry. I'm sorry. I thought I got it in time. The maniacal laughter afterwards. Yeah. Happy Halloween. Happy Halloween.
Starting point is 00:04:04 I'm going to have some time. I thought I'm incredible. Happy Halloween. Happy Halloween. I thought I'd go some time. I'm, I thought I made it. I heard three, two, and I was like, I'm gonna do it. I'm gonna get it in there. And then I, yeah, you didn't do the clocks in there. Sorry, gang. Oh my God.
Starting point is 00:04:21 Oh, we've your tapestry, please. Oh, good. Sergio, are the one and only. It will be doing a recap today as a Levenia. So Sergio, whenever you're ready, please take it away. Of all the things I did while alive, I'm proud to say I never killed a man. I defrauded them, taint their businesses. But I never killed a man. I defrauded them, tamed their businesses,
Starting point is 00:04:46 but I never took a life that is until today when I cut down one and participated in the deaths of many other next world mercenaries. I had no choice. We had to defend ourselves. Next world didn't want Virgil Lincoln's home rated to play patty cake They were there to kill Logan and Mia and Collette
Starting point is 00:05:12 They almost did but we stopped them I don't feel like I did a bad thing because I'm not convinced I'm even real I'm above good and bad. Lavigne is dead. What's left is something else. I have to stay focused. The others. I can't help but worry about the others. If there are dozens of rounds of munitions being fired in minutes, the livis will be suffering from hearing loss till their last days, that's for sure. Mia took some hits. Logan doesn't look very good.
Starting point is 00:05:53 They were both rushed to the hospital, where Viv and the co-are looking after them. Besides that, we're technically okay. Virgil and his brother, Poet, are still alive. Logan, Colette, they made it out in one piece relatively. And they've been, well, Colette was dragged to the police station. She's being questioned now. I'm watching over her. She's doing such a good job of keeping up.
Starting point is 00:06:23 She shows her strength by staying positive. A trade I always envy in life and now and death. I believe we're closing in on the end game. With the lilies in the hands of the authorities, I can only hope the bureaucracy of this country still has the power to prove innocence and prosecute the guilty. Cross will be desperate now. The evidence is mounting against him. We have Virgil, a former next world leader who admits to being offered the Orpheus Bounty in the past.
Starting point is 00:06:55 We have the bodies of next world mercenaries and we have the names Heathfield, Cross, and Bishop. If the courts do not do their job, I am not afraid to do it for them. The others are wrong when they accuse me of going to war. They're misguided when they accuse me of being obsessed with revenge. They don't understand that Cross has been haunting my life and my afterlife for years, threatening to take action if I don't do what he wants. And there is no doubt a statistical certainty that he has taken action against me in the only way that he could hurt me.
Starting point is 00:07:50 I guess in a way at least I'm free of that yoke. The last tether that helped me to this world. Well, there's one more, but she'll be sick of my attitude with enough time. It may have cost me everything, but I will savor ending across his life. In a way, I feel like I finally found my unfinished business. I am the will of the universe made manifest. A supernatural resolve to balance out what was taken by those who are guilty. Those that snuffed out the innocent lives of the men and the women I worked with at Orpheus. And if this is my unfinished business, well then I pray it brings me the resolution I theorize it will.
Starting point is 00:08:37 I have few regrets. One of them never having the chance to sever the strand of a soul in need Another skin writer like me. I Watched Abernathy do it, but God things have spun too out of control now All that's left is to defend the others and when I know they're safe strike back After all it can't be revenge if you aren't real. Amazing, well done, as always. So, gang, we're going to pick up with, first, let's, before we get to Collette and,
Starting point is 00:09:19 and special agent Gibson, let's check in with Mia and Logan in the hospital. You all are being tended to. Obviously you're out of surgery by this point Mia. You've been stabilized. We'll say for the sake of discussion, what was your health that when you were brought in? Oh yes, that was um. That was at uh, we were originally at... I believe it was injured. It was okay. Got it. So we'll bring both you and where were you Logan? Endured as well. I was at injured, but I also had three lethal. Okay, so we'll say you're brought up to hurt at this point.
Starting point is 00:10:07 Same for you, Mia. Copy that. Still lethal, but at least you're stabilized. Co-Aviv, what do you all do in the hospital? I'm in the interrogation room. That's right, you are, okay. Yeah, so what's, what's going on in the hospital? Oh, you're there.
Starting point is 00:10:33 Yeah, I think it poet and the other guy that was in our house, are they also at the hospital? They are, yeah. So poet, are they also at the hospital? They are, yeah. So, Poet, Virgil is in custody, but Poet's currently being taken care of. Javier, I believe, is the one other one who was injured, and he's undergoing treatment as well. Okay, I mean, I'm going to spend most of my time with Mia,
Starting point is 00:11:03 but I think on the cage, and I'm going to go find word poet and this guy, a, a, a, heavy areas and also just kind of keep watching and keep company with them for a bit, but I'm just making general rounds and just keeping my eye out for things as Mia rests until a, eventually a detective or somebody comes by for her or we get released. Okay, fair enough. Poet is awake and conscious, Javier is not. But, yeah, he, he, oh, go ahead.
Starting point is 00:11:34 I'm so sorry, I, I believe I can't, I just want to verify. We got the phone that had, my phone that had like the info. I'm, did, I believe I texted it to Layla or like whatever I could to Layla. Did that go through? I just want to make sure that. We'll say yeah, for all intents and purposes, we'll say that one through and was said. Yep. But Poets awake, if, and as you navigate these halls,
Starting point is 00:12:03 Kauai, you see the spirits of the dead along with the living. This is a hospital after a lot of folks have moved on in a place like this. It's varying age groups, but yeah, do you say anything to Poet? Do you talk? Oh, there he is. Yeah. I'm gonna manifest. Okay. I'm gonna manifest. Okay. You're one of them, right? The ones from the house? Yeah, I'm Nikola.
Starting point is 00:12:32 Oh, you okay? No, but I mean, all of life, all things considered. It's pretty damn good. Virgil's okay. He's in custody as far as I know. I haven't been able to leave or I'm not leaving here until I can. So I have to assume that he is in custody
Starting point is 00:12:59 with the rest who are not here. The other's okay? I or no I know some of you took some hits. Um we're managing I think we're up um your friend is still unconscious um but I think he made it through surgery at the very least. I got her small favors, I guess. I know you're not a part of next world, but can I ask you a question? That, sure. Did your brother ever mention something called the blasphemers? No. No, I don't know It doesn't read the hell for you. Should it? Is that an X-World thing like a unit or something? No, just something that came up on my radar. here anyway.
Starting point is 00:14:13 He's telling the truth. Yeah, roll, uh, yeah, roll perception plus, uh, let's go with empathy. that's two successes. Good enough, yeah, he's sincere. You know, it looks like he's making a good faith effort to search his memory to see if it brings any bells or see if it, if it, you know, jogs anything, but he seems confused as to what it is, what it could mean. When you are out of the hospital and reunited with your brother, you're right, suggest you guys go somewhere, not at least not in the state.
Starting point is 00:14:58 Is there somewhere else you guys can go? Fuck, not really. I mean, we could try but the cops are asking us to cooperate I don't know we've never really been in the snitching business but I think at this point I don't know how many options verge as left I don't know either yeah these next world fuckers, I mean, that was some crazy shit. People are willing to do things.
Starting point is 00:15:35 I'll thank God for you all. I think they would have wiped us out. Appreciate it. Of course. I mean, we got our answers. We upheld our bargains. That's all we can do. Well, if you need anything, if you... Anything I can do, you let me know.
Starting point is 00:15:57 We owe you our lives. No, well, just rest, speedily. Get better. And then I'm going to head back to Mia. Yeah. Logan, you do anything? Well, I think Logan... after...
Starting point is 00:16:31 after all the doctors have left and it's been kind of confirmed that they're not dying right now. Which they weren't that worried about but everyone seemed to be concerned. They're gonna do something stupid in the hospital which just skimmed out of their body. Here we go. As long as the end the end, like, wait for the machines to start screaming. They do. Oh, they do? Oh, yeah. What the fuck?
Starting point is 00:16:53 Well, everybody really quick. I don't want to say screaming. It's not like you're flat lining because you're not. You're, but your heart rate noticeably slows. And there is a notification sent to the nurse's station and nurse comes in to check on you. But it isn't like you're coding and they're sending in people with paddles and an epinephrine and shit that jumps through your heart.
Starting point is 00:17:15 In the like couple of seconds that Logan has then before someone comes in, I guess, I think they're going to summon which is an imbus again, not big, just like a zero vitality, Witches Nimbus. Just to see what it's like when it's not a dire situation, and it kind of engulfs their hands, their gauze is already charred and blackened like burned wood from all of the the injury they sustained. I think that's really it. I think they just kind of stand next to their body and look at this flame kind of breathing their hand and think about how funny it is that for so long they were putting out fires in a forest and now they are fire. What does the flame look like? Does it have a specific color? Does it have a...
Starting point is 00:18:07 It's... I mean, it kind of reflects like the like the deepest part of an inferno in a in a forest fire. Something that they've seen relatively up close for years. It's not like deep like yellow red. Um, I think they just kind of get lost in it for a while. Yeah, it's, it's a surreal sensation, right? Like you look at this and you know it should, you should be feeling some heat. There should be something being given off by this, but there's nothing. It's, it's quiet. It's not, you don't hear anything, there's no crackle, there's no sensation. Yeah, it's wild. There's like a moment of thinking about the other people who they've seen use, which is nervous, and then the door handle
Starting point is 00:19:01 jiggles and they drop back into their body. Perfect. Mia, we'll say you hear back from via text from her majesty, confirming receipt of the video, and then, you know, very succinctly, are you okay? I'm going to send like one of those selfies of me in the hospital and I'm just Gonna like try to attempt to think Like that. Yep, I'm gonna be like No As soon as you send it and as soon as it reads delivered that your phone starts blowing up immediately
Starting point is 00:19:42 your phone starts blowing up immediately. Oh! Uh, yeah, uh, she's gonna pick up the phone is, yeah. And put her on speaker phone too. What the fuck, Mia? What happened? Are you okay? We'll believe it or not. Uh, I got shot. Where are you? I'm coming to you. Where are you? Um, uh, okay. I don't quite... God. Where are you? I'm coming to you. Where are you?
Starting point is 00:20:05 Um. Uh uh. Okay. I don't quite know at the moment. I just know I'm in a hospital. But uh. Can you ask somebody? Nicole, I'm going to search.
Starting point is 00:20:22 We're. A hospital to the end of that room. Nicole, I'm gonna search. We're in hospital. The end of that room. We'll just take just like a general hospital in Baltimore. I mean, you can at least tell her that we're in Baltimore. Okay, I can do that now. I mean, I don't know if you can hear. We're in Massachusetts.
Starting point is 00:20:51 We're in Boston at a general hospital. Baltimore. Baltimore Maryland. Sorry. I don't know. You're good. Um, If we're getting a call,
Starting point is 00:21:02 we're in Baltimore. Yes, Baltimore. I thought it was like a move for a second. I'm in a place. I'm in a place. I'm in a place. I'm in a place. I'm in a place. I'm in a place. I'm in a place. I'm in a place. I'm in a place.
Starting point is 00:21:10 I'm in a place. I'm in a place. I'm in a place. I'm in a place. I'm in a place. I'm in a place. I'm in a place. I'm in a place.
Starting point is 00:21:18 I'm in a place. I'm in a place. I'm in a place. I'm in a place. I'm in a place. I'm in a place. I'm in a place. I'm in a place. I'm in a place. I'm in a, so I will be here for a minute, but... At least a couple days, probably. Yeah. Okay.
Starting point is 00:21:30 I can't wait to see you. Yeah, you either, Jesus. You should. You're breathing, that's something. Oh, yeah, I know. I can tell you this. I'm definitely alive because it is very painful still. Like, if I poke it. Okay, but don't fucking poke it. I'm not going to. I just want to stay here and see if I can get you to laugh right now because it's a little scary. I'm too god damn worried. I'm scared to laugh. I I I I messaged for seeds.
Starting point is 00:21:57 What do you so this video I'll I'll I'll give it to some of my bureau counterparts. I'll see if what they can do with it, but. Yeah, I just didn't want to like, like you know because I had the deadline and I wanted to be telling you that I might be a little like turning myself in but I did this counts okay all right I'm going to book a ticket. Mia, I love you. Love you too. Bye. Click. And I'm gonna look at Nicole. I'll be like, yeah. Oh, that, yeah. I love you, stage. Yeah, this is only like a couple of legal
Starting point is 00:22:34 replaceship from my problem. I'm high and I'm shot. It says romance and also their lesbians. Okay, that's like mayor. Six years and lesbians. Yeah. That's for her. Remo's removing it or if you speed. And I almost died multiple times. At this point, I'm locking it in.
Starting point is 00:22:52 Yeah, with that, you will transition to this conference room and the federal building and Baltimore, where we have Collet and Livinia and Viv. Livinia and Viv, have you manifested or are you staying in Corporeal? I spent a minute trying to hack into some computers and then I probably would have returned anytime I'm not hacking the computer I'm in Corporeal. So I think only like Calette, they can see me.
Starting point is 00:23:25 Yeah. Yeah, I don't think I'm not missing that much vitality, so I think I'll manifest. Cool. Okay. Yeah, so what cross from you is the man who introduced himself as Deputy Director Gibson, who essentially says, tell me what happened. who essentially says, tell me what happened.
Starting point is 00:23:55 Mm, okay, so it's like we told the other dude. The situation is this. I mean, it's really simple. We were working for Orpheus, and we were a part of a team that helps detach tethers from people who were stuck in the afterlife for a long time that needed to move on to the next stage and for a time that was all we did we went out on assignment in Colorado and when we came back one of the largest terrorist attacks on US soil had occurred while we were outgit milk. It was perpetrated by these foxes that just tried to shoot us and kill us which was wild and it was perpetrated by them as like a classic hit from
Starting point is 00:24:42 what we can tell you. There's a video that my friend Mia took that confirms this that has like full confession from the other team. They defected from next world in order to make that happen. And because of that next world, tried to kill them too. of that next world tried to kill them too. We're in a situation where our company no longer exists, but for some reason we're still worthy of being manhunted, and one of the most militant private companies in the world now has access to everything that Orpheus was and has effectively eliminated all competition. So whether you're upset about the monopoly, the private military force, or the fact that someone has full control over the dead now, I'd pick your poison, but that's
Starting point is 00:25:38 the situation we're in. I'm happy to talk to you about anything you'd like to know. I want you to remember that I went to an art school, so there are limitations to the things that I can tell you. I'm sure Viv here can fill you in on the blanks that I miss, but we haven't done anything wrong. And to be persecuted for anything, I think, would be the wrong decision for you, because then I can't do anything to help you. Uh, Miseker, Viv, anything to add?
Starting point is 00:26:15 No, I think they actually covered it. What else we might be able to tell you kind of depends on the angle you want to take. And what snacks you're going to bring? They want a flat white. No, no. I'm inclined to agree. I don't think here is as much and this is anything else. Good man. Agent Ormond is over Zellus, perhaps, and his pursuit of
Starting point is 00:26:55 the various projecting firms, but we have no reason to suspect or believe that you anything could do with this attack, especially after what just happened in that house, and Baltimore, and you're saying you were acting in self-defense? Oh, yeah. Yeah, I don't think there's any situation where we would bait a bunch of people armed with, you know, assault rifles into a room with us and then mass murder them. It would be a wild thing to do.
Starting point is 00:27:22 That's not fair. And I assume that, well, Virgil isn't exactly cooperating right now. He's making demands as to what needs to happen with him and his team, prior to providing any information, which is given the situation understandable. We'll do our best to accommodate, but I'm sure at some point he'll corroborate what you had to say. I promise if you follow through on what he needs, he's going to give you everything. I mean,
Starting point is 00:27:49 it's a situation where he's looking down the barrel of a gun or the rest of his life, and he's trying to preserve the second, not the first. What can you tell me about next world? Um, they're orifice in a big twirly mustache and jackboots. Um, from, from the other side of the room, Lavigne is kind of against the wall watching and she speaks up so that they can hear her and say, remind them who's in charge, Dorov, he field. Right. Um, there's this other agent, this other element to all of this that came from the KGB, I guess, a man named Derov.
Starting point is 00:28:34 Oh, Lexi Derov? Yeah, yeah, you know him. Other friends at the agency? Friend? The CIA. I've been looking for him for some time. They had a reason to believe he disappeared in the United States. That's a name I haven't heard in a very long time.
Starting point is 00:28:54 You're saying he's Heathfield? Yeah. He's disappeared into next world. And essentially staged enough of a corporate coup to take over the company. Well, that wasn't on my 2018 Vango card. Okay, that's good to know, dangerous, but what can we get you? A protection for one. Protection for one. Yeah. We, whatever is out on any of us, disappears. Either have been no warrants to cheat for your arrest. We'll clear there be other
Starting point is 00:29:37 lookouts since we've had an opportunity to speak. This is purely, you know, maybe for my agent, could I get like a public exoneration of everyone involved here? Like, if, you know, we could just have a press conference and say, hey, Collette did nothing wrong by her art book. Do you want to be that who I profile? No, I just like for my father to know that I didn't. I'm not a terrorist. If that's a possibility, if we could just have some sort of a statement.
Starting point is 00:30:15 You could settle for newspaper. Yeah, yeah. You've been an article. What'd be great? And he reaches, he reaches and he gets your, uh, these plastic bags with your personal belongings and he slides it over to table to you. Would you call your father? Let him know you're okay.
Starting point is 00:30:33 Put him on speaker. Okay. Uh, yeah. Um, and she'll take out her phone, she'll check her messages, she has anything, and then call her dad. Call it, what's happening? Are you okay? Hey, dad, I don't know if you've been watching the news. Please, as always, stay on Facebook, but I'm okay, I'm calling to let you know that I'm okay.
Starting point is 00:31:02 I don't know what you've been hearing Some things are fucked up right now, but I didn't have I know this is gonna sound like every other time I've said this but I didn't have anything to do with them and I promise you I'm doing the right thing here I've got a cop on the other line here who can confirm that which you know a lot of other times I didn't have that so you kind of have to trust me this time. Um okay um and Gibson speaks up uh Mr. Sawyer this is uh this is Deputy Director Matthew Gibson with the Federal Bureau of Vestigation. I just want to let you know your your daughter has been uh of great use to us, and we have confirmed that she and her cohorts had no involvement in the attack on Orpheus, and they're not wanted by any stretch of the imagination. In fact, they're helping our investigation a great deal. You should be proud. And the one that's a little bit. What the fuck is happening? You're okay. That's
Starting point is 00:32:10 all I care about. You're okay. Yeah. And I think soon enough, I'm going to come home now that things are settling down a little bit. And just check in and let you know what's going on. I think maybe this is the last leg of this little summer project, but I just want to let you know that I love you and that we're okay and I hope you're okay. I love you too, Collette, just come home safe, okay? Okay, I got to like solve an issue of national security first. You know how it goes. Right, I had Mr. Gibson thank you for your time. I think.
Starting point is 00:32:57 And yeah, calls terminated. Happy? Yeah, no, I feel great. Yeah, I just worry what it'll do for my career, but we'll do that one step at a time. Your career in art? Yeah, dude. Isn't it good for shit like that? All the sort of, so- Being a national terrorist? Nope, almost being a national terrorist.
Starting point is 00:33:31 You have a, you're reaching Levinia Heights at this point. It's Angie. Very edgy. Well, we will put you up in a, lodging for the evening, the local hotel. We'll make sure you're under under guard under protection and We can talk about getting you back home tomorrow. I mean you understand if we are going to be bringing charges against net swirled for this if everything checks out
Starting point is 00:33:59 We may need your testimony And you'll you'll have it as long as I have your protection. I There is no guarantee the involvement next world has at this level. And I'm not one to trust the government. I know that's shocking to hear looking at me. But all of us feel that way. This is like a tenuous relationship where it's totally built on a mutual trust that you can actually see what's wrong here and understand that maybe everyone in your department doesn't agree with you.
Starting point is 00:34:34 Well hold the parent and I will wave Warman off. You'll deal with me, you won't deal with Warman. Cool. Excellent. Miss Dyer. Miss Acre. Any questions? I'm not visible so unless you can see. Oh, that's right. Never mind.
Starting point is 00:35:02 I've just been feeding everybody information. That's right. Okay. I'm just gonna quickly look to LeVinia's corner. I'll just kind of nod like a good job. Okay. The boss is happy. She's just giving you the nod. Okay. I assumed we weren't alone. That's still taking a little bit of guess. Getting used to, I suppose. All right. I'm going to make sure I'll check in on your friend's Logan and Mia No, I'm not sure they're okay. Yeah, do you think we could all get get a ride over there? I know you're working on a hotel stuff, but could we get like, at least ask for it or a new bar? Okay, you're transporting it. We'll have some of the uniforms drive you over.
Starting point is 00:35:42 Actually, I did think of something that would be nice. If you find it, if you stumble across anything about a lot of this seems to be motivated or maybe I don't know driven by something called project flatline, and we don't even know what it is yet. So if we could know exactly what is motivating some of these smart cities decisions, that would be helpful. The consider done. Do you have any other context?
Starting point is 00:36:15 Ooh, do I never heard of something like that? I believe the blasts of ours are connected to this. Yeah, they are. Yeah, they are. That's my words. But I want to make sure. Okay, so the only thing say that. Yeah, I was gonna say, I don't want to mention blasphemy, but cross might be involved. If there's any information that might be coming from him at some ski-v operation about
Starting point is 00:36:47 becoming from him at some ski-vy operation about getting people out of their bodies. That's literally all we know about it. If you see anything, also someone called Bishop says Logan's ghost from the hospital. That's right. That's right. Man, the bitch might be involved. They should cross. None of these are ringing any bells, but we'll, we'll keep an air out as part of the investigation into what happened to Orpheus. We'll see if we come across anything. One last thing, there may be another and maybe a series of people, but one at least that we can kind of confirm hasn't died on screen. Could you look in a Kate Denison?
Starting point is 00:37:34 She was, she was one of us. We have reason to believe she might have gotten out of Orpheus alive. And she's being as hunted as we are probably even more so. She was a lot more important than we are. We haven't been able to locate her, but we can confirm we haven't found her at the ruins yet. Did you check Denver? We did.
Starting point is 00:37:57 Okay. We did. We're looking elsewhere, but I will make sure it is now that she is wanted as a witness, not as a potential perpetrator of this attack. Again, I apologize on behalf of the Bureau for Agent Orman's over-salesness. Don't even worry about it. It's sort of you guys' whole stick. we'd be shocked if you didn't try and persecute us.
Starting point is 00:38:28 I mean that would love. Deserve that. Okay. Yeah, this went really well. My hands have stayed hands the whole time. I don't know what that means, but I will take it that it is a good sign. It's very good. Okay. I haven't called you Hoover at like once, so we're doing good. For that, I appreciate that. I appreciate that I appreciate that very much I'll go make some phone calls. We'll get your transportation over to the hospital Rhett And he'll leave the room When he does Levinia will like join them at his seat and say not bad for a 50 honestly I know
Starting point is 00:39:04 Right we are good ones string a good cobs his seat and say not bad for a 5-0 honestly. I know, right? We are good ones. Of stringa good cops. I think Viv is just like, like, all of the tension is like melting and like the table starts rattling. Just like, yeah, I'm super, super calm about that. That was good. I think that win as well as it could have, honestly. You both did excellent. Both of you. I like look them each in the eye like good job.
Starting point is 00:39:31 Thanks, man. You did great too. I just sat in the corner. I tried looking up some names, I tried looking up something in the computers, but nothing concrete. I'm not sure what we do now besides try to keep you safe. Yeah, because it seems like they're not much farther ahead than we are. I mean, we were the ones with all the new information. I guess we have to hope that they're gonna uncover something with what we gave them. And we still don't know anything about the blasphemers. And they don't either. We can try to see where that ends, but...
Starting point is 00:40:04 We can start shaking trees too. There was something we discussed after Virgil and I can't remember what it was. But I think the blast farmers are a good next step. We want to know what. I think they are the next step. The problem is the authorities are basically a step behind us, which means we have to be on our guard.
Starting point is 00:40:23 Cross is going to be desperate. He's going to act out against us harder than a bunch of mercenaries. Yeah, yeah. Did you ask Ipsen about the blasphemers? I did not. Okay. We were worried about that word. Got it. Yeah. Didn't let them just kind of smoke it up before we got there. Fair enough. So how do we look into the blast farmers? Besides just asking everyone we know.
Starting point is 00:40:53 Verge, did we talk to Virgil about it? I think that was the... We did. Also, that might be. Yeah, like out of character, I think that the blast farmersamores just don't have anything to do with Next World, so I don't think Virgil's gonna know. We could try to ask him, but I think we could get the same response to Poet. We could hunt down Kate and see what she knows. If we could find Kate, I mean, she had a wealth of information before the attack. I can only imagine knowing her if she's alive,
Starting point is 00:41:22 she'll know what to do. They won't bring some satisfaction to know that she's alive. Do you think the radio will let us talk to them? How? Will you free death? Yeah. I don't know, but they find us, right? We could find them. Do we hold a say-ons for radio free death?
Starting point is 00:41:44 Long time. Long time. with Snirt first time caller. You know pirate radios they've got to have somewhere they broadcast from. You know most of them use like international waters or they'll host up in you know the most pissed field abandoned buildings they can find but like that's purely for movies. He's got to come from somewhere right? There's got to be a central point that they can find, but like, that's purely for movies. He's gotta come from somewhere, right? There's gotta be a central point
Starting point is 00:42:10 that he's shooting the message out from. It is a radio signal, and Lavigne is pretty good with computers and stuff. I wonder with enough time if I could try to track it down. It would give us a break while some of us are hold up in the hospital too. I mean, it looks like we're taking some leaves to begin with. Maybe we make a project out of getting drunk in a week.
Starting point is 00:42:34 Can't, excuse me. No, I'm not doing that. You all can get drunk in a weekend and chase the signal. Old habits. Yeah. We'll say you eventually reconvene at the hospital with Logan and Mia at COA. Technically, there is this, so radio frequency locating, also known as radio location, is a technique that uses the signal transmitted by device to find its exact location The devices used in radio locating can be anything with active transmissions such as cell phones, wireless modems, or underground line detection machines. I like this.
Starting point is 00:43:17 Oh, way. I think the video. I've shot that shit out like, yeah, sure. I'm so glad it's real. Vini is just reading the Wikipedia article as we go to the hospital. She's already transitioned to like the manuals of like whatever software or hardware can be used. Yeah. I'm glad we could give you a new project and this is a new little puzzle. Anything to distract me is appreciated. I don't need to ever buy you Rubik's cubes. I just have to talk enough bullshit and tell you find the puzzle yourself.
Starting point is 00:43:55 Logan, are you in your body now? Uh, yeah, I think after the nurse came in. Okay, they kind of were like, I don't know, I'll come back. It's like if we walk in the hospital and see you walking around, what are you doing? Hey, hey, you stupid. I think if Logan sees you guys come in, they go, are we fugitives? Are we free people?
Starting point is 00:44:18 What's going on? We're free, baby. We're golden. We're floating. In fact, we may pretty soon be like key witnesses in a massive case Fuck good kind of persons of interest. Yeah. Yeah, interesting persons not interest persons. Mm-hmm We are gonna have to talk That's the problem. I know, but they'll give you a script if they're a good enough lawyer
Starting point is 00:44:46 That almost feels worse. Well, it's not trustable. How are you feeling? The important thing is we can be able to move freely again. Yeah. That's true. They said we'll stick around for a day and then they can organize a way back to Colorado for all of us. Oh what they don't want to striving cross country again? I guess not and our only car was I think impounded for all of the machine gun bursts across the
Starting point is 00:45:18 side of it. That's all I feel screwed. The one we stole to be fair. Was that that wasn't the ones that we stole? No, we own that. Oh, I think we are going to have to call our illustrious weed mother. It's just an insurance claim at that point. I mean, we did definitely Logan's gonna look around for like cameras or microphones. definitely Logan's gonna look around for like cameras or microphones. And like back at everyone closer. We committed Grant love, not only one point, right guys? Let's not go into those details. It's unnecessary. We're past that, right?
Starting point is 00:45:57 Well, I'm pretty sure it was a used car. It's not that grand. Right. Okay. What's important is that we're all miraculously still alive after being attacked. Yeah. Fuck.
Starting point is 00:46:09 But we still have a long road ahead of us. Is it weird to want to celebrate first? No, I feel good. I think we did say we wanted to see the ocean. I don't know if I'm allowed to leave yet, but could you and I will put you in a wheelchair? Yeah. Let's tell them to put her in the cadaver
Starting point is 00:46:37 where they freeze the bodies and maybe she can project and come with us. Wow. I think they let us. I think we just got off a wanted list, I think. And that'll put us immediately back on a different wanted list if we ask for that. God. It's really sharp. Well, we can take the day, rest up, you know, do what we need to. And then on the way back to Colorado, maybe we stop
Starting point is 00:47:06 up somewhere. We take the long way. Detour on the way to the wherever they're taking us. If I have someone flying in, are we okay to wait or do you want to go ahead and I can stay you have who could be flying in? Yeah, this is such an odd hypothetical. What the whole thing? I mean, I've been shot. So let's pay for this.
Starting point is 00:47:40 And that's less painful than what's happening right now. Yes, you have a priest coming? What? You have a priest coming to give you your last rights. That's who you call. You're not dying, you know. The priest can stay in Colorado. I'm not dying, but I was shot,
Starting point is 00:47:57 and I would like my special someone to be here. Ah, yes. Inval valid care. That's not nice to say, but shut up. And F off. I am working on a healthy relationship that I'm eager to be living for. And I, you know what? I accept your teasing as a sign of envy. Also I'm high on drugs. Leave me alone. I don't want to fuck your top. That's not no. I'm saying you wanted that's not the, I'm saying in the diner, I never mind.
Starting point is 00:48:45 It's already being done. That's a one person job. See, if this is why I'm glad I'm that single, because if I had to deal with all of this and being single on top of that, I would make out with all of us. No. Hahaha.
Starting point is 00:49:04 Only Olivia. Just that's all. Hahaha. No. Only in Levinia. Just that's all. I'd like to think that Levinia is not really part of this conversation right now. And she sees Nikoa, who's also not really participating too much in this conversation, and goes over and, you know, there's a kind of unspoken solidarity here and I think Livinius says something like I'm going to be looking into how to contact radio free death. I'd like to solve this obnoxious wall between us and since you're the only other person in here who And since you're the only other person in here who feels like we should continue working
Starting point is 00:49:46 instead of just having fun, I wanted to give you the responsibility of maybe looking into the blasphemers and at least spearheading, figuring who they are. Sure, I mean, I asked how it, see if he might know, but I wasn't able to do that. I'm convinced that there's some kind of star card. It's something that is possibly connected to cross, but I'm not sure if they're a next world thing. I think there's something else.
Starting point is 00:50:23 I don't know, I almost get cult cult vibes I get there's something going on. Yeah good for both. Oh I'm a little stretched on the gauze or vitality. I do forget that we're kind of stretching. Yeah. I just I have a hard day. I have a hard time turning off and I just feel like we're so close. I don't I don't want to miss anything. I don't want to. Sometimes so part of the process is taking a step back and looking at the bigger
Starting point is 00:51:01 picture. I've been very on the straight and narrow though. Your advice is wonderful, Nikoa, but I think it works for people who are alive. I don't I don't think we live by those constraints anymore. That's that just stops you from seeing the possibilities if you think that way. You're constraining yourself to the fact that you are in just a different form. You're not accepting the fact that this is a new form of life. I'm going to ask you a question. Yes. Question.
Starting point is 00:51:41 It's a question. Can you enjoy the life you lived when you were alive? I did, yeah. Me is totally e-stropping just so you know. We did. All of it. There's obviously parts of it that I'm not happy with, but I was just reminiscing earlier that I feel like I lived the best life that I wanted to. Okay.
Starting point is 00:52:16 But if you, you know, lived the best life you wanted to, then you would have let go. I moved on. I have my theories as to why I'm still here. Hmm. Good to share. I'm most fascinated why people think that they're still here. Well, maybe you would make you see me in a different light as everyone is just so quick and easy to accuse me of revenge. Cross,
Starting point is 00:52:41 crosses, he knows about an extended family of mine, a niece, her name is Audrey, and he promised to keep her safe as long as I did what he wanted. It's why I joined Orpheus, it's why I agreed to join Crucible XII. I was riding on everyone until, well, he just decided to turn on all of us. And I realize now that was a mistake, but my concern is that Audrey is, well, if I was cross, I would have made my move by now, and I fear that Audrey probably isn't alive anymore. So you could see why I don't why I'm trying to distract myself and just get on with my unfinished business. Anything cross is capable of crossing those kinds of boundaries.
Starting point is 00:53:47 Are you kidding me? He orchestrated the destruction of Orpheus, of course he would. What is one little girl matter to him? He should have heard the things he said to me about her, what he threatened. There are some people in the koa that cannot be spoken to with a kind word and a bit of wisdom sometimes they just need to be stamped out Sure I can understand that I'm glad you do I'm just concerned that yes, I'd like to have faith that he doesn't have the will to bring that forward and that your knees are still alive because if he wants something from us he needs leverage. So I like to think that leverage is what he's after
Starting point is 00:54:50 as a person of desperation. So maybe she's still alive, maybe there's eyes on her. I don't know, it's the same. But if we can, you know, if we can find cross, maybe we can just solve that and, you know, maybe that's how we find cross. Niko, I so badly want to accept that hope, but I just don't know if I can, I don't know if I can bear that hope and then it'd be wrong.
Starting point is 00:55:20 Okay. And she's dead. Let me have that hope. So we've got to have hope around here. Okay. And she's dead. Let me have that hope. Someone's got to have hope around here. I shouldn't have. The video will smile and say thank you. Makoa, I killed a man today.
Starting point is 00:55:39 And I'm very sorry for it. And I need just one of you to know that. Thank you for telling me. Taking a life is difficult. I'd like to pretend that I can handle all of this, but my God, what have we gotten ourselves into? I don't think you are supposed to handle this. I think that's why there's so many of us. We're supposed to share a load of burden together. I mean, that's important why we should be
Starting point is 00:56:14 honest with how we feel about situations. Not letting blind us from the end goal. It's what's the point in solving all this problems if we're not going to like ourselves at the end of the day? We'll lose the things that we really want at the end of the day. Let's go talk bullshit with the others. Sure, like that. We'll just start, yeah, on the walkover. So do we even know if majesty can swim? Like can she come to the beach? I'm just saying, like if the vibes are off,
Starting point is 00:56:51 I don't know how this is going to work. She's got to enjoy us. She's sure when landlocked state, she might not know swimming. She actually swam very well when I took her to the bottom was like, okay. Is that a U.S. or a U.S.
Starting point is 00:57:07 which was in the Mexico? Exactly. Bottom was like on the third day. Damn. It was a road trip. It was very nice. Actually, exactly. You part of this call?
Starting point is 00:57:18 Yeah. What are you doing? All three of you? Wait, you are freaky. Okay, that's like really disrespectful. I would never put Nikola through. Yeah, I'm sorry. Our friend's not allowed to go on road trip vacation.
Starting point is 00:57:34 I am. I can't stand on you all can do whatever you want. Wait, is it everything? I'm like, I see everything have to end that way. Like, why I, I have a nice trip to New Mexico. I've never been to New Mexico. To be fair, Nicole, it's not even a judgment on you. I just we just assume everything me it does with majesty is nasty freaky disgusting. Yeah. That's that. Okay. Okay.
Starting point is 00:58:00 This is all you kids. First of all, whatever happens between me and majesty, is between me and majesty. And whatever's in your head is some, go write some fan fiction for. Okay, that is not my problem, that's a you problem. Also, I forgot to ask, are we getting any bodyguards? Cause I know you say we're getting
Starting point is 00:58:25 like some protection, right? That's it. It was just stop someone from like, you know, coming in here. Is it nothing? Yeah. Yeah. It's just, yeah.
Starting point is 00:58:37 They said that when we get posted up tonight, they'd have someone for us and they alluded to something like transportation back to Colorado. But if you want, I can give a call and see if they can. And they do know that that's boogie. Being exists, right? There they're not taking the okay, I just want to make sure they're taking that into consideration. But I don't have a license.
Starting point is 00:59:01 Yeah, I don't. I just think it's such as at the house. I'm not entirely like convinced that they'd be more help than we would be to be like I think in this circumstance we are the body guards. Yeah, I'm the bodyguard. Okay. Okay. You're the bodyguard. I need to continue to rest. But there's enough of us to go around to keep one ghost on on a on a meat.
Starting point is 00:59:27 Is there anything? Is anything I can do or do? I'm gonna just sit here look pretty. Just rest there's nothing I can do. Find out if she's gonna be again as I'm saying. Enjoy the drugs. Several times. A beat is just important. Just it's just a little frustrating. I have to just sit here. You got shot, dude. Yes. I am. I know.
Starting point is 00:59:51 You didn't know. You did enough. You got shot. I can pull. I can pull a puzzle that we can work on together. Oh, thank God. Give me something. I feel like the drugs are making me like smarter too.
Starting point is 01:00:00 So. Oh, that's good for you. I they're making me really fucking stupid. Ha. smarter too so. Oh that's good for you. They're making me really fucking stupid. So we'll break out of puzzle. We'll break down this radio frequency or whatever. And we'll chill and tell everybody's feeling a little bit better. Then we'll go back to Colorado. We'll chill some more and tell everybody's feeling better. And then we can decide what is next. Exactly. I like that. Love it.
Starting point is 01:00:26 That's a good plan. OK, so who's doing, I mean, a recall of it at night? Anybody, anything else anybody else want to do? I mean, I just think it's part of the longer process. I want to start understanding how to look into radio free death. I want to start looking into radio location and what instruments I would need and you know all those kinds of things. I understand that you Vince might not be a radio location expert.
Starting point is 01:00:53 Yeah no go ahead roll go ahead roll yeah no radio radio Radio radio Radio roll Radiance plus let's do let's do computer. Okay Radio and computer those are good for me Oh, he's using a dice tower. Yeah, that's three successes Awesome, you know, he's using a dice shower. Yeah. Mm-hmm. That's three successes. Awesome. You know it's possible for a conventional signal. The problem is, homeboy is dead, or a projector. And so you're without really knowing where to start, you notice it's been on a different frequency every time.
Starting point is 01:01:51 You notice that, you know, the times that you have heard him, it's been faint, it's been broken. And without knowing exactly the method of transmittal, if he even does it from the same location every time. And if it's somehow through supernatural means. But it does sound like a male voice. Does sound male? Yep. I mean, theoretically, a hunter could do what he's doing like you, but it would take a credible amount of vitality or power. Yeah, there's no horror.
Starting point is 01:02:19 There's no horror that you are aware of. That could do that. But unless he's possessing equipment, but yeah. And we know that there aren't ghost phones, so how can there be ghost radios? Yeah. Right? Interesting.
Starting point is 01:02:34 Yeah, maybe my next role in the future might be in the Mingmo role to try to figure out what I'm not thinking about in terms of how I could be doing this. Yeah. But yeah, I'll spend the night just looking up. With that? Yeah, I yeah, even with that role, he's got to be using some kind of horror.
Starting point is 01:02:48 Maybe it's some version of inhabit, where he's inhabiting specific equipment in different locations to transmit. Sure. Or it could be a here to for oner of horror that he's using. You do feel pretty confident with the theory that he is likely a hunter. That's the closest shade that would make sense
Starting point is 01:03:11 for what you're dealing with. But actually triangulating where he's at, that's going to be hard. I just read about theoretical other haunting abilities or other, what are they, laments? Rements, yeah. So yeah, maybe one exists that we're not aware of yet. The one constant from all of your research
Starting point is 01:03:35 and to Orpheus and Wally Adorfius is that the amount of what they didn't know versus what they know, but they knew it was vastly out of balance. Maybe there's a way too that we could send a message to him. Like, yeah, you would have to be through another hunter. Like if we're following this trail, it have to be a very powerful hunter who might have the ability, I don't know.
Starting point is 01:04:01 Do we have any other hunters? If we're going off the presumption that he's inhabiting, like if this is like a mass inhabit, that means that technically he's within our radio at that time, right? Like he's present. I interpreted it as he enters the radio station and is able to broadcast. So then he's in hiding radio waves themselves.
Starting point is 01:04:23 He has to be close when he does it in order to get a signal that will attack our car at the right time then. Yeah, I'll kill it for real signal. We could plan sort of, I don't want to call it an ambush, but an ambush, the next time that we hear him, try to triangulate the second that we do here and go in that direction. I like that idea like
Starting point is 01:04:51 Because he comes on about the same time every night if I'm crazy Roughly yeah roughly it is Yep, it is sporadic though. It's not every night kind of thing So we will yeah, we can start tracking 3 ams And see if we can make any sense from the data across a long period of time. If we hear him, we know he's at least within a radio distance. We can track and find the other radio stations and try to meet him there. Like this plan. Okay.
Starting point is 01:05:24 Do you check your email at any point in time, Livinia? Okay. Yeah. Do you check your email at any point in time, Olivia? Yeah, she's probably regularly checking. And in fact, I would say she's probably sent what has updated, what has transpired to her AINIT cool friends or not AINIT cool. Am I already cool yet? Are we cool yet? Yeah.
Starting point is 01:05:43 Yep. You find another email from a burner account. Cool, are we cool yet friends? Yeah, yep. You find another email from a burner account. And it said, essentially says, thank you for saving virtual. You're welcome is what I write back. Things are rolling towards public awareness. Stay close. We're going to need your help in the future. I guess there's not any immediate thing I could think of to ask since I don't know who the hell they are, but they have proven themselves to be an ally, so. And when you do recall Virgil mentioning Matthew Kovacs.
Starting point is 01:06:33 Oh, right. And Kovacs, let me look at the notes here. It's another next world effecter. Right. the notes here. It's another next world effecter. Right. I'll write back like mercenaries taken down next world as next world.
Starting point is 01:06:54 Or next world, I don't know. Nice. You receive a reply pretty quickly, saying going off grid. I suppose it's a fair reaction. And then Chicago. Chicago. I believe this co-vax also sent me information about the blast from her, didn't he? Yeah. Two names. Mateo Cruz and Jeffrey Rose. Have we heard Mateo crews before? You have not. Okay.
Starting point is 01:07:49 That's very helpful. Yeah, I think next chance I get all started looking to those names. Excellent. Yeah, easy enough. Mateo crews is easy enough. So is Jeffrey Rose. Mateo was a easy enough. So it was Jeffrey Rose. Mateo was a federal inmate at USP Terahoe and was on death row. He was a Latino gang banger in the 90s and early odds and committed quite a little of crimes
Starting point is 01:08:25 before he was executed. Jeffrey Rose was also a USP Terriote. Terriote. And he was a serial killer known as the Magnolia Killer. It was operational from 2004 to 2006, murdered 15 nursing students that they are aware of. Starting to make me worry about the name blasphemers even more like that these men, if these are members of blasphemers, they're likely specters or worse. What are those Jason's?
Starting point is 01:09:06 Mm-hmm. Both are dead from what you can tell. Both are dead, yeah, yeah. Yeah. Yeah, like I would, you know, once everyone is able to pay attention to it, I would inform them what I learned from my email, give them the names of the tale crews, Jeffrey Rose, the fact that they're dead, the fact that they're both
Starting point is 01:09:31 notorious criminals and killers, and that there might be a connection to blasphemers. Well, uh... I can't put away the fact that just because they're dead, that doesn't mean they're not still around in some way, shape or form. Right. And it'll just make them a little harder to find. You know, this is just a weird thought in theory.
Starting point is 01:10:00 You don't think that like a bunch of dead serial killers and all that Didn't happen to form like a union or anything Right on the other side and I Think it's less a union and more of a fan club if the blasphemers are living they may be You know, they may be working for these people. Didn't, um, next world have specters with them at the attack? Yes. Is it possible that that's what the blasphemy is on?
Starting point is 01:10:37 Right. Specifically was what they had with them, right? The, uh, the scarier the reaper goes to the reaper. The reaper. So that reapers such as if next world is their representation in the real world what if the blasphemer's are their other half in the next life and that's their reaper death squad and they answer to the big guy as much as next world does. Why would they listen to them?
Starting point is 01:11:08 I don't know. You'd have to have something a reaper would want. I guess there was plenty of death there and if that's something they want. Maybe they learned to control them through flatline. That's where this all connects. I was wondering about that. That's... them through flatline that's where this all connects. I was wondering about that. Yeah, that's. Yeah. I think it's with the location Chicago and the. With the location and the names of all these people, Chicago, the two people, is that enough
Starting point is 01:11:42 that I maybe get something out of a furboat? Uh, yeah, yeah, you know, I go ahead and make a roll. Manipulation plus empathy. And how much futility vitality are you spending? I can give you some if you need. But I like push back. Yeah, I think I'll just like relax. Um, I don't know, two, fours. Yeah, I'll share one with you.
Starting point is 01:12:18 I'll take one. Okay, the three. Okay. Okay, the three. Okay. Where's successes? Excellent. Okay. Let's see with four-bode and that number of successes.
Starting point is 01:12:40 You can clearly, yep. Okay, so what are you focusing on? I'm focusing on, I guess Chicago seems to be at least a lead for an epicenter and those people's names if they're inhabiting in that area and if they're connected to the blasphemy areas. This is the most important thing. You, it comes in flashes. It's hard because you're stretching your consciousness and you're stretching the limits of your ability from both a time and a space standpoint to a location that is very, very far from where you are. And you can feel it kind of pulling on the tethers of your of your vitality. This this crushing almost weight on your
Starting point is 01:13:26 gauze as you try to focus through. But you see a warehouse in a derelict part of what you assume to be Chicago. I'm assuming you've never been. But the the buildings look somewhat familiar. You can see some of the the iconic pieces of the skyline. And then this this derelict warehouse covered in graffiti and gang tags and another flash on your inside and you see gang bangers left and right, you see guns, you see drugs, you see cocaine and heroin and methamphetamine. You see AK-47s. You see some machine guns. You see violence. You feel violence. And you notice that some of these are dead
Starting point is 01:14:12 and some of them are living. And you see two, kind of standing at the head in a position of power, almost watching you or what you feel like watching you. One is an older Hispanic man, probably in his 50s, and the other is a very skinny, very life Caucasian man with black hair and glasses. And you feel menace before you're pulled back. I'll probably like snap back pretty hard because I'm stretching my gauze that been.
Starting point is 01:15:01 I'm structuring my Gauntz that then. I think the first thing I'll do is ask Collette if they can sketch the two images of the two faces that you described so that we have all have a general image of these two people. Was able to just learn either an address, a street sign, or is there information about the graffiti tags that I might be able to like use those as identifiers? Yeah, we'll stay that you were able to... You're able to pick out some identifying marks and I'll get back to you on that, but for you, Collette, go ahead and roll. I think Witz Plus...
Starting point is 01:15:50 Crap. Yep. Oogie. With an extra die since Koeh is giving you the description of these guys. Got it. If you fail miserably, it's just like stick figures. I have six successes. Beautiful. Yeah. You are able to draw almost a life-like recreations of what these men look like and you immediately recognize them the Slovenia because you saw among shots and courtroom sketches
Starting point is 01:16:27 and other photos during your research. And these are most certain Matteo Cruz and Jeffrey Rose. I think with that, it's a good time to take a break. Nice. So we'll be back in five and then we'll keep this train or rolling. All right, we'll be back. All right. I'm going to use the same method as the other side.
Starting point is 01:17:07 I'm going to use the same method as the other side. I'm going to use the same method as the other side. 1.0% 2.0% 2.0% 2.0% 2.0% 2.0% 2.0% 2.0% 2.0%
Starting point is 01:17:38 2.0% 2.0% 2.0% 2.0% 2.0% I'm going to go to the next room. I'm going to go to the next room. I'm going to go to the next room. I'm going to go to the next room. I'm going to go to the next room. I'm going to go to the next room. I'm going to go to the next room.
Starting point is 01:17:54 I'm going to go to the next room. I'm going to go to the next room. I'm going to go to the next room. I'm going to go to the next room. I'm going to go to the next room. I'm going to go to the next room. I'm going to go a little bit of the same thing. I'm going to do a little bit of the same thing. I'm going to do a little bit of the same thing.
Starting point is 01:18:17 I'm going to do a little bit of the same thing. I'm going to do a little bit of the same thing. . music The I'm sorry. I'm going to go to the next room. I'm going to go to the next room. I'm going to go to the next room. I'm going to go to the next room. I'm going to go to the next room. I'm going to go to the next room. I'm going to go to the next room. I'm going to go to the next room. I'm going to go to the next room.
Starting point is 01:20:18 I'm going to go to the next room. I'm going to go to the next room. I'm going to go to the next room. I'm going to go to the next room. I'm going to go to the next room. The I'm gonna go back to the next one. Relips. Hey, we that didn't make it, but hey, you know what? We're good. We're back. As we can tell, and so we'll just jump right back in.
Starting point is 01:21:06 And I will say in response to your question, going to the graffiti coa, it was specifically related from what you could tell to the Latin kings, which is a Hispanic street gang that is prominent in Chicago. That corresponds with what I found about Mateo Cruz. that corresponds with what I found about Mateo Cruz. But they're running both, you know, living and dead amongst them. It's a whole central organized thing. It's grown pretty strong and
Starting point is 01:21:37 they're not very pleasant to put it in simpler terms. But I think that's where the blast members might be, or what we're trying to find. They're involved. Where's your halo? We have a few options on the table. We could go after Kate. I think going directly to the source would help the most. I'm starting
Starting point is 01:22:08 to lose track though of what we want from the blasphemers. We are assuming they're somehow connected to our enemies, the next world and flatline. Flatline. That was the specific connection that that covax drew and one of your is initially emails to you. I wonder if they're a fallout of flatline or or former patients or something. Regardless if we go to these people they're going to be animals. They're going to be ruthless. They're going to be dangerous. I don't know how we approach them. There's nothing we can provide them can they? Something they want.
Starting point is 01:22:58 We'd have to figure that out. That depends on how much they know already. I don't get the impression that they care about information. They want power. They want security. These are all just guesses, though, knowing how gangs operate. Yeah, power, but like usually you want it for purpose, you know what I mean? That's what I'm trying to like. Well, it looked like our two dead guys are leading the gang, right?
Starting point is 01:23:33 Yes. So maybe they answer to whoever Dura of answers to and the gang is just another leg of their power. You know, who cares what the two offer the gang, they're in it for whatever the same reason, they're obvious, as my guess, if they're connected. Can I tell that if in, are they like spirits inhabiting a body, or are they like actual Jason's like? No, none of the above. So you can see the insinine spectres. Nobody that like you could feel the taint of spite, but it doesn't look like it had overtaken anyone yet. You know, you could see some stains made manifest,
Starting point is 01:24:20 but nothing. Nothing to indicate that these are casins, that these are spectres. These are screwed up ghosts from what you could tell. but nothing. Nothing to indicate that these are casins, that these are specters, these are Surge, hop and get going. It's not important. Spites, Tame. I don't know. I'm still having a hard time. It's their connected to what we should do this safely. We have to isolate one of them.
Starting point is 01:24:55 We can't just run into their headquarters or whatever. They're currently residing. We need to separate a member or we need to try to get one of those to separate. We just need to learn from them. Roll, do me a favor. Anyone? Roll, um, wits plus street wise. I don't know if I had street wise. Oh, I do. I got that. I'll give it a shot.
Starting point is 01:25:27 Two successes for Livinia. I have three successes. Same. Okay. You all kind of talking it over, kind of sucks out the same conjecture, the same, you know, theory that you may need to bring something to the table or do them a favor if you're looking to get anything out of them. You have no reason to believe at this point and
Starting point is 01:25:56 at least for you, Koa, this wasn't the same kind of setup as next world. Like this wasn't it didn't smack a leak of that militarized professionalism. This was very much a street level organization. More organized than your typical street gang, but nevertheless still a street gang. So there is always the option to simply just make contact. I mean, if we knew what they wanted, we could come with open hands and say, act as though we're trying to learn things, the issue is, we don't really have a cover. You know, like we're going to look like exactly what we are, which is the survivors of Orpheus coming together to sniff out what the fuck happened. Is that so bad of narrative? It's not, but it makes this appear weak if they are against us. And if they have, if any connection between them and Dura'av exists or them and this higher
Starting point is 01:27:10 power, this fucking Jason at the top exists, then we're public enemy. I think there's still a world where we can go to Chicago and try to suss out what it would be that they would want. Maybe they want information or maybe they want something in particular. It's as simple as if they need some guns or something that's just a matter of getting it to them, but I don't know, I just want to approach them with caution. I agree with you. I don't know how we do a favor for them without it being obvious that we're just trying to get information. were just trying to get information. We could run the pigment angle, act like we're coming from a point of view
Starting point is 01:27:49 of trying to score and keep the Orpheus stuff on the low and maybe start a business partnership that way. Maybe we even say, yeah, we are for Morpheus, but we can't go ghost anymore. And the only option we have is scoring the black stuff. And we came looking. Lavinia smiles like beaming at Collette, like such a good idea.
Starting point is 01:28:18 But she just, you know, just says, I think that's the way we should go. Okay. And the only thing I want to control is You know just says I Think that's the way we should go. Okay, and The only thing I want to control is we can't be doing this in a dangerous place We can't be doing this in their location. We need to somehow draw them Somehow convince them that only a few of them need to come like you said. Maybe it's just a score and We just have we we're paranoid. We just want a few folks to show up.
Starting point is 01:28:49 Yeah. I think if we're scoring, we want to start low and then hint at capability, right? We want to meet one of their fucking drug dealers at the base level. And then in that conversation, you know, drop something that would make them think, hey, we gotta go fetch the boss. The boss should get a look at these guys. Does everyone else think this is a good idea?
Starting point is 01:29:19 Honestly, I can't think of any other plan and this isn't horrible, so. There's always the option of skimming and having an extra person that's not a, I guess the bodies don't matter to them. Logan's like totalling out of the bathroom with their phone in there, and didn't like the IV poll in the other.
Starting point is 01:29:42 I realized that the bodies aren't scary to them because I was thinking like they were also alive, but they're dead. Maybe her majesty might have any connections in Chicago that might give us some more information about them. If there are at least running a well organized street situation, then they might be on somebody's radar, even if it's just an open investigation. So would you like to, that might be a way for us to discern the source of what they might need from that, or at least we can get leverage on them.
Starting point is 01:30:15 Question. Are you asking, is like, would you like me to do that? You can. No, I have no problem. It's just like, so there's a use, see? I have some problems. So she's coming in. Yeah, I'm going to text.
Starting point is 01:30:33 I'm gonna text her on the phone, be like, I am texting her, asking if she knows anything about this, not about when she's coming to see me. Well, first she tells me that she's going to be there tomorrow afternoon with all of her flight arrival information and everything, but then second, she follows up with that she will ask because she has some contacts through the pigment enforcement task force that she is on. So she will get back to you. Is that pet or pet F, the pigment enforcement task? Pet F, PTF, yeah. Cool. Not the best.
Starting point is 01:31:19 No, that's not a good word. Pet F. Pet F. I would just stop it a pet, but. Yeah, yeah, leave the pets alone. We don't need that. I can't. Just, um. Yeah, I'll drop a text to my cop too.
Starting point is 01:31:37 I won't flirt or, you know, trying you haul with them, but I will say, hey. I don't know what you mean. You're already you hauling with somebody else maybe It just dropped the information that like we're looking for any connection to the Latin Kings We might have something that would help both of us Okay, I do too says he will get back to you
Starting point is 01:32:02 Kukukuku, but asks specifically what this is in reference to. Mm. Mm. Mm. Uh, I just reply back, spooky shit. We'll talk. H-h-h-h. Got it.
Starting point is 01:32:18 He really does not ask too many follow-ups, kind of. That's why I like him. Mm. The thing is, if you keep being bullshit, they assume bullshit and they stop interacting. This is true. Gotta keep them on a leash. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:32:37 Yeah. Now, I don't know how fast you guys really want to get to Chicago or anything like that, but not in a rush. That's wonderful. No, we agree that we will see you go. I'll tell you how to go. Thank you.
Starting point is 01:32:58 I was going to say, I will, and I've seen the ocean and I feel bad about holding it. Everybody ups if you want to go. That is what the team up. No, I was hoping you wouldn't say that, but I was trying to be nice about that. You know, it feels scary even now. Yeah, we will wheel your gurney to the ocean if we have. Yeah. We'll pick you up and dip your little toe in there. We'll put you back to the sea.
Starting point is 01:33:24 I can I can get up myself. See? You can put you on a little platform and I can float that platform to the ocean. A little vibe. I can't float eat. It's too many things to move at once, but... I would really like it if you can do a platform, but make it look like a magic carpet from Aladdin. I would really appreciate that.
Starting point is 01:33:44 Well, you got to do the, do carpet from Aladdin, I would really appreciate that. Well, you gotta do that. Do you trust me? It's magic. I just need one. She's here. Where can I give you a full Viking funeral? It's gonna be good.
Starting point is 01:33:54 She's not dead, call. Rest in peace. Don but not forgotten. Rip in peace. You know what? Some would consider that very rude, but that's okay, because we're among friends right now. Just saying. Well, that's good. Mm-hmm. Be happy. All right, well, we're organizing however we can to get Mia and everyone else to the ocean.
Starting point is 01:34:20 Beautiful. We're having a match day. We're fine. I'm gonna start each episode. I do have a puzzle carpet. Yes. I do want to tell a puzzle to Levinia before that she leaves his question. Hmm. What happens when an unstoppable force meets an unmovable object? Oh, that's been pondered for millennia. Me. That's good question. Do you know the answer to that?
Starting point is 01:34:49 I have unanswered, but I always like to hear other people's answers to this. She's gonna be like this for the next 12 hours. We just lost a bin. Yeah, she just immediately kind of curls into a ball to a fetal position. I'll be back. And when Livini goes over to be like the answer, the way I say it is, they go through each other, but don't say anything. Oh, where they pass through each other. I see.
Starting point is 01:35:22 Can I say something about the dragon during the forebode a little bit back? Yeah. I think after the video, kind of forehead like Palm shows Logan back down into the bed. They got up while Loco was, Koeh was foreboding and went to the bathroom. And I think they called their youngest older brother.
Starting point is 01:35:49 Okay. Derek. Logan, are you okay? Yeah, hi, yes, hi. I start to chat like a couple days, it was not only days ago. Fuck, it feels like we're a little more time ago. I talked to Chad a couple days ago,
Starting point is 01:36:13 and he said the FBI had called, and there was a whole thing. But can you just tell everyone else that I'm not a criminal? Ha ha ha. Yeah, well, I mean, I knew you weren't, but yeah, sure. Cool. You're safe, though, like you're okay, like, uh, yeah, yeah, I'm fine.
Starting point is 01:36:34 I'm totally fine. Nothing's. I mean, a bunch of shit went down, but it's managed and we're keeping on. Like, it's fine. Nothing's managed, and we're keeping on. Like, it's fine. Nothing's wrong. Anymore. Okay, um, I mean, do you need anything? No.
Starting point is 01:36:58 I think I just wanted to hear one of your voices, and I know the other boys are busy with their kids, and I really don't want to talk to mom and dad right now, because I think they'd freak the fuck out. Oh, they're already freaking the fuck out, so good call, good call. That's why I called you, because you don't freak out like they do. I mean, on the inside maybe. Well, yeah. I mean, I'm worried like hell about you.
Starting point is 01:37:24 I'm fine. Nothing takes more than weird shit with the FBI to keep me down. You know that? I mean, I guess this is the first time you've had to deal with the FBI. But you know that now. I guess I do.
Starting point is 01:37:42 Care to comment on what the fuck is going on? Um... I don't know how much time you got. It's a bunch of shit. How much time does you need, Logan? Remember when we went to Uncle Lavner's wedding on that mountain? Yeah. I mean, there was no woman there. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:38:10 There or no person there. Yeah, when he married the fucking mountain, yeah, I remember that. Did you know he married the man the whole time? Logan, what else was he doing there? I don't know. I thought he got left at the altar and they thought it was gonna be a really nice thing to just have the ceremony since everyone was there and they just He married you knew I Mean New is probably a stretch, but I
Starting point is 01:38:36 Thought it was pretty you know, I never mind. I was 11 dude. Yeah, no Damn you think he fucked it? I can say, within uncomfortable amount of certainty, yes. That is unbelievably fucked up. Yeah. That's probably more fucked up than you being wanted by the FBI. You want to ask something extra fucked up? Yeah.
Starting point is 01:39:05 He's dead. Good the fuck out of here. Yeah. He was, I, I worked with him. He, he died like, like less than a week ago, dude. Turn that whole, yeah. That thing? Yeah. Just Christ, Logan. Yeah. Yeah, I know the guy.
Starting point is 01:39:26 He was always kind of fucking weird, but that's- Well, yeah. He was fucked up. That's something like bringing him home to dad or something. Yeah. That's, uh, shit. Do they still like eat beans like they were like the only food on Earth? Yeah. Like I looked in his office. He had a fucking office at Orpheus, dude.
Starting point is 01:39:49 And I looked in one of the cabinets and it was just piled. It was like Garbanzo beans, kidney beans, black beans, all like more organized than I've seen any beans anywhere in the house. Mom doesn't even organize beans like that. Well mom doesn't have more than maybe two cans of beans at a fucking time. This guy has been smartage board. He's dead, huh? That's... Yeah. I had socks. Are you okay? Yeah, I mean, it's a fucked up way to go.
Starting point is 01:40:22 It's a fucked up way to go. Yeah. I was glad you were here. I thought I'd make all of you. I shouldn't have bothered you with this. Fuck you talking about it. You can call me whatever you need to. I know. It's just, there's a lot of weird shit.
Starting point is 01:40:37 And I want to keep you guys away from all the weird shit. Look, we knew. I'm having a time right now, dude. It's. Well, yeah. I mean, we knew things were gonna... We knew things where we were when you went and walked with Uncle Adner to begin with.
Starting point is 01:40:53 That was a little orfiest thing. I mean, was it legit? Yeah, it really was. Royal? I had a whole purpose and everything. Yeah, it really was. For real? I had a whole purpose and everything. Shit. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:41:16 So there's... I mean, it's probably a conversation for another time, but I mean, there's something... Really something after all this? Yeah, I mean, supposedly. Really is something after all this? Yeah, I mean, supposedly. If you're really in luck, you just get stuck here. But, no one really knows what to after it. Fuck. Next time I'm home, I'll show you all the ghosty shit I can do. Ooh, yeah, maybe get a couple drinks at me first.
Starting point is 01:41:44 Yeah. What do you think about like, in-clode Mikey's circuits if I- If I shut the kids? Yeah, no I'm 99.9% sure Mikey would dive a heart attack right after he tried to kill you. Yeah. Couldn't fucking catch me. That's true. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:42:01 Just good to hear you laugh. Yeah. Thanks good to hear you laugh. Yeah. Thanks, but. Thanks, I'm just keeping it that damn. Stay safe. Uh, that's not really an option, but I'll do my best. You owe me some, you owe me some story time and you're back. Oh, I have so many.
Starting point is 01:42:26 You're gonna be so jealous, you just sit in there, drawn pants. I'm over here. Turn it into a fucking ferno. I don't know what that means. Hey, Logan, you're laughing maniacally in the bathroom. You good? Oh my god. Sorry, Viv. Okay. That's my friend Viv. Tell, tell her I said I. I will. I'm gonna go. The pain meds are wearing off and I want to lay down. Good, good, wait, pain meds.
Starting point is 01:43:07 Don't worry about it. I love you, bye. And I hang up. Amazing. Amazing. So good. We will say, for those who decide they want to stay elsewhere outside of the hospital, you are given rooms at a nearby hotel, not far from the hospital at all. There are armed federal agents, US marshals from what you can tell at the hospital rooms for Logan and for Mia, as well as at the hotel itself when you are brought to your your accommodations. Everybody gets their own room. Well, at least the living ones do, so really just
Starting point is 01:43:45 get surround room. Well, at least living ones do. So really just fucking collette because Logan and Mia are at the hospital. So goes party goes party in collette's room. That's the first time. Yeah, oh, good. Yeah, so we can either pick up that night if anybody has any plans or we can pick up the next day with her majesty's arrival to the hospital. Where are you going? I have one thing I want to do. Yes. I just want to, I don't, I want to make it clear,
Starting point is 01:44:15 I'm not making a giant fire pile of scooters again. That's not what I'm doing. Amazing. I would like to do something that's perhaps a fit of that. A fifth, okay? A gathering of some sort of unnecessary maybe those those hostile Like benches Okay, so you can't lay down on them. Yes. Yes. Yes. I just wanted to take one and
Starting point is 01:44:41 Just start Splitting the metal of the bench. Just a little catharsis. Yep. I think I'm just, I'm not manifested. I'm just doing that outside of the motel, hotel. Easy and out. Holiday in.
Starting point is 01:44:58 Holiday in. Holiday in. Yeah, easy. Thank you. Thank you so much. Of course, of course. For about two hours. Yes, yes, yes.
Starting point is 01:45:07 Easy enough. Yeah, able to kind of go throughout the city and just fuck up these in humane benches. And, you know, you do catch some, some home, homeless dudes, some houseless dudes watching you do that. Like watching you, watching you do that, like watching you watching you and then they raise a drink and a toast to you.
Starting point is 01:45:31 Yeah, just get back to Tharsus, finally. Oh, good. And then I'll just come back to the, whatever the party is in Colette's room. Yeah. Amazing. All right. What are we doing? We all got our personal effects back. That just goes back.
Starting point is 01:45:57 Yep. Okay, your personal effects back. Yep. I think we are going to commit to going to see the ocean and then once we've done that we'll probably want everyone's healthy enough. What do we think? We have the Chicago, huh? Yeah.
Starting point is 01:46:16 You know, let's rewind a little bit. Viv, as you're out kind of wrecking, wrecking shop, what these benches, you pass through a part of the city, going kind of deeper into, you know, various neighborhoods. Are you keeping an eye on your surroundings? Oh yeah, for sure. Okay. Go ahead and roll perception plus alertness for me. Okay.
Starting point is 01:47:07 for successes. Beautiful. You hear, it's more about what you don't hear than what you hear, but you become aware of a presence behind you and you turn and you see someone you didn't expect well probably to see here. You see a projecting Kate Denison. Hey holy shit. Hey. Where are you? Hi. How are you? Where are you? Hi, how are you? Where are you?
Starting point is 01:47:48 I'm here. You guys have done good work. OK. Yeah, yeah, you too. I mean, Rob just been laying low. What do you need? OK. Rob just been laying low. What do you need? Okay.
Starting point is 01:48:08 Well, we, I mean, I don't know how much you've heard. We, at least, are cruisables, okay? And I think we fucked up next world a little bit. But, I mean, I don't know if we should, it feels weird to ask you for what we should be doing next, but it's also the only thing I know to ask of you. So... I uh... I approached the Bureau, and I've been working with them.
Starting point is 01:48:38 But um, starting up at the side hustle. It's...it's something I'm calling Lazarus. Do you guys want in? Okay. Yeah. Now that I've said yes, what is Lazarus exactly? I'm bringing Orpheus back from the dead, trying to. We've got a job to do, because this goes a whole lot deeper and a whole lot darker than I think we thought.
Starting point is 01:49:23 I'm rounding up other survivors. It's going to take some time, but I'm rounding up other survivors. It's gonna take some time, but... I'm pulling together. Yeah. I mean, you have a night. We're all... well, most of us are... Not far from here. You can talk to everybody. I'll come by in the morning. Mia's still in the hospital for what I can tell. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:49:51 Alright. Yeah, she got shot pretty bad. Well, I mean, you already, you asked me what I wanted you to do. I mean, you took the fight to the next world in a big fucking way. So I'm giving the Bureau what I had on them, which wasn't much. I mean, what you found out, I... Is it true that it's a fucking Russian, Tuesday, the whole thing?
Starting point is 01:50:17 Yeah, yeah, he fully handled Montana and fooled everybody for like a decade. Jesus Christ, that wasn't on my 2013 Bingo card. 2018, sorry. What year is it? That's the clock. Bingo cards. Why not me? Yeah.
Starting point is 01:50:39 Well, yeah, the beer wasn't a go after them hard and netty. So probably best for you guys to lay low for the time being. I mean what's What do you got plan next Well, we're gonna go to the beach tomorrow. I think which is gonna be pretty cool and Then we might be going to Chicago Chicago And then we might be going to Chicago. Chicago. Do you know anything about the blast femurs or where they would be? A project flatline.
Starting point is 01:51:17 A project flatline actually that might be where did you hear that? The one where you're speed. Which one flatline or blast? Flatline? It doesn't really matter. The radio told us. Oh my god. It's something I've been looking into. Do you know who's behind the radio also? No, no idea who's behind the radio. The blast from Merz is a gang of projectors and spirits operating out of Chicago. We've had some reports of Orpheus employees running into him, but it never came to violence, if anything, they were just inconvenience. But flatline is that stark shit. I've been looking into it for years and I haven't been able to find anything about it. It's what gave birth to Orpheus, and it's where it started.
Starting point is 01:52:26 Something about some kind of experiment to create projectors. I don't know anything else in that. I haven't been able to find anything else. It's all rumor and conjecture at this point, but nothing concrete. Okay, well they're tied to flatline somehow and if flatline is pre-orfious, this is a little semantic, but maybe if we do bring orfious back, maybe it's not Orpheus. Maybe we keep Lazarus. These are, like you said, a gang of what I believe is a serial killer and some other fucked up dude. If they, if what they're doing made Orpheus happen, I don't think we should be trying
Starting point is 01:53:19 to bring it back to life. You know, it's fucked up, Viv. I don't think they're, though, it made Orpheus what made flatline happen. I think they were the... I don't know. This is all. I've dug through every file, tried to get access to every file, and I couldn't find a damn thing. And every time I tried to look, people told me to stop looking. People like Cross. So, I don't know. If you can find something out though, you can get us something to bargain with. I would follow up, just be careful.
Starting point is 01:53:55 Yeah, Jeff, and Syria Killer, yeah. We heard rumors that Jeffrey Rose was in that crew. Mateo Cruz was the nother one. Yeah, we're trying to set up contact with them once we get to Chicago, but I guess we'll keep you posted. You're like alive though, right? Oh yeah, I made it out. I wasn't actually... Okay, cool, so you have a phone okay so Yeah, I wasn't far behind you guys I was heading to Boulder to back Okay
Starting point is 01:54:40 Well then yeah come come talk to us tomorrow and leave your fucking phone number All right Well, then yeah, come talk to us tomorrow and leave your fucking phone number. Alright. I'll see you tomorrow. And don't even worry about the benches. We're like that. At this point, I don't give a fuck those things suck. And she snaps back. Great. Amazing. Fifth goes back. And with that, we'll pick up with the next day. Mia, you awaken out of a more a morphine-induced haze to see her majesty sitting in a chair next to your bed.
Starting point is 01:55:28 Hi, how was your flight? It was a red eye on Southwest at fucking sucked, But... Let me hear it. Did you pay for the early access thing? It makes it easier. Goddammit Mia, what are you doing? Well right now, I'm waiting to get discharged and waiting for everyone else to show up to figure out what to do next. He made it to the beach though, so that's a possibility. Just give your heads up. Great. A beach day that's lovely. I looked into this blasphemy or thing that you were talking about apparently it's a
Starting point is 01:56:28 It's a street gang out of Chicago. It's an up-and-coming set Maybe some affiliation with the Latin Kings Probably deal and pigment. It's about all anybody knows how recent I mean, maybe not that reason past Decade or so, but it's I mean compared to some of the other older gangs, I mean, you got what, you know, Latin Kings, you got gangster disciples, you got all these others that have been around for, since what, the 50s, 60s? Yeah, no, no.
Starting point is 01:56:54 Guess I'm trying to figure out, just anything at this point, especially that can help us. Do you find any likes, dislikes, something that can help us. Do you find any likes, dislikes, something to help? I don't know. I'm just asking, normally I'm much sharper than this, but I did wake up and... Yeah, no. They like drugs and they like... I'm pushing them and they like territory.
Starting point is 01:57:21 They're expanding. Their... You know, rumor is they're making inroads the cartels I mean typical street gang bullshit okay um question there any of this spooky. Like, are they in the room? Or is it just me? Well, I don't think I left the hospital. So I would be in the room. Okay, or maybe coming back from doing rounds I'm checking on whoever else, Logan, poet.
Starting point is 01:58:01 I mean, if you're, I would like you to meet everybody. So they can at least know that every time you, they make fun of me, they have your image of you threatening them. That'd be nice. Okay, um, sure. Yeah. My threats no longer work on them.
Starting point is 01:58:23 They, they got, Like an early blame on Ouch God that hurt more than that. I'm shot. She kisses you. All right I'm gonna basically whatever I'm gonna basically, whatever happens until somebody comes in the room, that's where we're just reconnecting. Okay, beautiful.
Starting point is 01:58:54 Not that much, guys, come on, I'm in a hospital, I can't do that, but it good. God damn it, Bluff. So you all, it does anybody do anything in between now and reconvening at the hospital with her majesty and me? I think at one point, Collette does visit on Virgil and Poet and just checks in, especially on Poet because she was like right up next to how bad that was. And offers does not request, you know, gives them full option to say no, but offers to sketch a portrait of them. And basically asks permission to do so.
Starting point is 01:59:40 You go looking for their room, especially based on what Co code had told you and those rooms are now empty. Oh shit. Well, let's do that. Looks like they were moved pretty quickly. You should just get some from memory. Yeah, I'll do my best to get them down. Yeah, do you do like a to get him down. Yeah, do you do like a background or are you just doing the face, the body? These are, I think purely for, I think Collette searching for a way to like, manifest everything that's been happening
Starting point is 02:00:19 in a productive manner. And the same way that like, Levin, you can't slow down. Collette has to have a lens on anything before she can actually deal with it. And so I think these are like the starting sketches for a piece that she's gonna do later. That's almost like it feels biographical. In the same way that she did the portraits for Koa earlier on the poor boat. It's not in her usual style, it's not abstract, it's not, um, cr- it's not like contrived, uh, it's just a honest to God sketch.
Starting point is 02:00:57 Love it. Yeah. You capture those details of, of the first time you met poet and Logan, and the state of the house, the sandbags against the window, poet looking almost conspiratorially out the, out the gap in the sandbags with the shotgun in his hands. And it's a good way to process kind of everything you saw and dealt with and the enormity of what you survived kind of is put at ease through processing, through art. And I think if she finds those rooms empty and she's able to get these sketches done, I think that for a brief second she goes and stands outside of me as room. Does not go in, but battles something there scratches
Starting point is 02:01:49 at our left wrists and debates opening the door but manages to move past and go back to her room, go back to the others. Okay. He's probably the Logan's just to check in on Logan. There you go. Yeah. Hi.
Starting point is 02:02:13 Hey. And I think she'll just take some time making sure that Logan's not dying. Hmm? Hmm. Deal, talk it all. Uh, yeah, yeah, I think she checks in on Logan. How you feeling? Less stupid than yesterday. That's an improvement for us. It doesn't happen often for you and I.
Starting point is 02:02:49 Very funny. We're very dumb-crout, very easily entertained. Yeah. Vens really, the brains of the operation. Yeah, yeah, I think without... Well, all of our dead folks, we'd just be lost. I mean, are you feeling I know you didn't want to, you didn't really want to go into a fight, and then we very much went into a fight.
Starting point is 02:03:14 I'm trying really hard to stay in the state that I am now, where is like, whoever that happened to, I don't know her. And I'm floating on that until a therapist can tell me otherwise. Well, I'm not a therapist. So we won't tell me otherwise. So I won't tell you otherwise. I will mention she might come knocking,
Starting point is 02:03:45 but you don't have to let her in, I guess. I don't... I don't think I can open that door. There's a lot of versions of me on the other side of that door that I don't really talk to anymore. Yeah. Well... Yeah, well, doors have locks for a reason. Yeah, they do. How are you? You've asked me that already. Yeah, I know.
Starting point is 02:04:18 But you gave a log an answer. I want to know. It's a real one. One other kind of answer I'm supposed to give. I don't know. You always start with, I'm good. I'm impervious. I'm powerful. I'm strong. Look at me. Look at me. I'm strong.
Starting point is 02:04:34 Yeah. That's pretty much it. That's what I'm here for. That's what I'm good at. That's what I'm good for. It's the music. Yeah. That's a good. You almost lost those. I died. No. Yeah, that's a good you almost lost those No, yeah a couple more offers of yourself to the dead ones and they'll have the biceps I mean did you see a little bit of you she was like a fucking I didn't see that yeah It was for a a moment they're doing some things for me.
Starting point is 02:05:05 Absolutely. I'm sure it did. I think we all felt that. I mean, everyone in this group is. Hey, but you know what? Hers go away, right? Yeah. My inner here to stay.
Starting point is 02:05:19 I say with tidy muscles myself. I'm going to give them a slap, like a little used car salesman right on the bicep. This baby can fit so much muscle in it. Yeah. Yeah, that was bad on that was lame. It was good. No, it was good. You're working.
Starting point is 02:05:37 That was bad. You're getting better. What do you wanna do after this? I don't know. I'm assuming we survived and all that. I got to be honest. I was going through the motions when I came up with the answers I did when we were talking about this pigment plan and the blasphemers and all these extra steps. And the back of my mind, you know, a version of me was just saying,
Starting point is 02:06:08 God, why do you keep a green to this? I don't know where I'm at. A part of me just wants to go to the ocean, see it with all of you and then go home, go back to Washington. Oh. And I don't know if she's right, but it's there. And then the other part of me knows that I don't know I can leave you guys like that. And I know that you're not leaving.
Starting point is 02:06:46 And I don't... I don't want to make you go alone. And I know that they're not leaving. I don't want to make Vingo alone. Co has been with me for so long now. And it feels like she's the surrogate parent, which is probably really unfair to put on her and Viv we're just starting to get along she drinks a flat white that's wild so lame
Starting point is 02:07:14 very basic and that hates my guts most of the time but there are like these brief little glimmers where we're fighting each other and I don't know. I think there's something there. And in a weird way, I feel like if I leave now, God, this is morbid, but if I leave now, I'm really worried. I won't be there when they all pass. And sure there's something after us, but there's no guarantee there's something after them. And there's something really final about that. So a part of me just wants to hold their hands, hold your hand.
Starting point is 02:08:17 Just take this through with some level of... Grace. You can't live for us, you know. You can't stay just for us. You have to live your life for you. And that's... If that's Washington, that's where you need to be, then... You can't let any of us stop you or the fear of stop you, but I know I want you here holding our hands. And I don't know. You're kind of like the light of all of us, or you keep us.
Starting point is 02:09:18 I think if we were all alone together, we would get really bogged down and scary and mean. And that all sounds very childish, I realize, but there's something to be said for. I don't even know what I'm saying. I just, you are important and you're good. And I don't want you to I'm saying. I just, you are, you are important and you're good, and I don't want you to feel like you have to be here for us because you have to live your life.
Starting point is 02:09:52 And just because I wanna hold your hand doesn't mean you have to stay, you know? Do you ever feel like sometimes you give so much of yourself away, you feel sorry for even asking for something for yourself? You're not allowed to read my mind. Sorry. There are these little kernels, you know, there are things you look for. And I think that in the middle of trying to explain how Colette sees the world, she just
Starting point is 02:10:34 kind of reaches out and clasps her hand in Logan's and just holds there for a moment. And then meets their eyes, and then gets really scared, and pulls away. Sorry, I squeezed, I... You're fine. I'm gonna get some coffee. Do you want anything? Um...
Starting point is 02:11:04 You're just talking about me sending childish, but can I have some apple juice if they have any? Yeah, we'll get you some apple juice, sure. And Collette goes out to get drinks. As soon as Collette closes the door, Logan just puts their hands out their face and tries not to scream. When Colette walks out of the room whatever direction they go in they don't see that on the other side of the door is video standing there. She just walks her walk down the hall and then just goes in a different direction. Oh, scandalous.
Starting point is 02:11:46 scandalous drama. delicious scandalous. Wow. My goodness, okay. I love Grazan out of me so much. As do I. As do I. This is so much better than the last time maybe it was in a hospital scene.
Starting point is 02:12:07 That's really. No one's trying to kill us. Not having off of dead women's arms. Let's say we're... Let's pick up at the beach. You all reconvene, get back together, mea Logan your discharge from the hospital, mea you are asked to remain in a wheelchair for the time being just not to not to rip any sutures or anything. and go for it. Go forth. What do we do? So, where are the coast of like what? Maryland? Yeah, yeah. The Atlantic is not the best, piece coasters but I mean yeah Freezing cold pretty cool genius beach Or after noon 7 a.m So you're on it's nice. Who has yet to I'm so sorry who has yet to go to the beach again?
Starting point is 02:13:29 Collette was that you no I grew up in Viv Welcome to the beach there's better ones but This is one of them yes, a beach It does look like where they put the bodies swimming with the fishes. It's what I think about but I see the majesty of it. We got to take her to a better beach. This beach is... I mean it's a rock on this beach. I can't even find it. Use your imagination, Viv. Imagine a giant wave and there's a hunky-looking man surfing across it on a surfboard. More woman doesn't match me a man.
Starting point is 02:14:11 Or both. Can I, as a polter guy, can I water-bend? Oh! Fine! Fine now! No! But you could create something like broken broken broken um but you could you could you could you could go something yeah
Starting point is 02:14:37 shoot the others make a paddle do you want to like one of us go out there and some kind of? I'll go I don't want to like make you guys like As you order a beach I'll do it. Her Majesty just stopped treating each other like a fellow employees and start treating each other like friends. Come on. The fact that Vinnie is the one that said that is but fucking wild. It's a very great thing.
Starting point is 02:15:18 It's a shame. That's what I'm saying. And me is going to get up out of the chair just like shuffle through the sea Her majesty stops you and says you will not you are not leaving that chair. Thank you then Tally fourth. I love with your girlfriend's here. Tally fourth. Let's let's hit the sand. You all hear a voice from behind you Mommy, why don't you chuckle fox doing? Oh, join me. Beach day.
Starting point is 02:15:50 Oh, my God. Sprints toward her to hug her. You're over going to the beach. You're alive. I forgot to mention. Wait, what? Just a few more hours. I just really wanted to make sure
Starting point is 02:16:07 that we got to the beach to be honest. And it's all handled. Ah. That could have been a good key piece of information. So. You're here, you're with, you're alive. This isn't like your next meeting. You can tell that she is in her body.
Starting point is 02:16:23 She is not projecting. She is. Oh, she flushes. She is flush and she is in her body. She is not projecting. She is... Oh, she fleshy? She is fleshy. She is corporeal. Logan runs and like hoist her off her legs. Oh, God! Hi! Oh, this hurts me too. Sorry. Easy, easy.
Starting point is 02:16:39 Are you... Are you the only one? Was there like a group with you? Anyone else? I rounded up a couple. Everybody's laying low for now. You guys are posted up somewhere? We're scattered.
Starting point is 02:16:53 But based on what you all did last night, I think we can start kind of coming together. Well, you know. Oh, thank God. We need a lot more help. Do you think you could put us in touch with a hunter? Do you know any hunters that are still willing to work with us? Yeah, we got a we got some I could see what we can do. We'll take some time, but everyone, like I said, everyone's lying low. Communications, I'm in limited. We didn't
Starting point is 02:17:24 want the Bureau or really anybody else being able to track them down for good reason. There are a few that we were trying to bring back into the fold and next world's got to them first, and we were trying to keep that from happening again. I'm a dead told. But I've got ideas to continue with Orpheus started. Maybe when things die down enough. I want to know if he want to be back in. I know this is ironic to say, but God it feels like I'm looking at a ghost when I look at you, Kate. That's fun. Yeah, it's on purpose. I laid my... I was, uh, I'd left. I just had a...
Starting point is 02:18:11 had a bad feeling. Um, and after effect of the forebode, I guess, I don't know, but I left, maybe an hour or two after you all, to to Boulder as couldn't shake it. And then everything happened. I'm not ignoring what you just suggested. Your Lazarus project, I think, a hurdle is called. It's work in progress, but yeah, Lazarus. What about your Eiffel? How upset. You're Eiffel.
Starting point is 02:18:48 You're Eiffel. You're Eiffel. You're Eiffel. You're Eiffel. You're Eiffel. You're Eiffel. You're Eiffel. You're Eiffel.
Starting point is 02:18:56 You're Eiffel. You're Eiffel. You're Eiffel. You're Eiffel. You're Eiffel. You're Eiffel. You're Eiffel. You're Eiffel.
Starting point is 02:19:04 You're Eiffel. You're Eiffel. You're Eiffel. You're Eiffel. You're Eiffel. You're Eiffel. You're Eiffel. You're Eiffel. You're Eiffel. You're Eiffel. You're Eiffel. You're Eiffel. You're Eiffel. You're Eiffel. You're Eiffel. You're Eiffel. You're Eiffel. You're Eiffel. You're Eiffel. You're Eiffel. You're Eiffel. You're Eiffel. You're Eiffel. You're Eiffel. You're Eiffel. You're Eiffel. You're Eiffel. You're Eiffel. You're Eiffel. You're Eiffel. You're Eiffel. You're Eiffel. I was gonna say it's actually used a lot in the DC even the first comic. So just so you know that's where I immediately went Batman when you brought it up. Okay. Also this is, uh, like the Kate, because I don't know. Oh, you love that journey, right? I... I don't know my fucking hand. I imagine you the other time. Where did this her majesty thing come from?
Starting point is 02:19:29 Long story. He's talking about you a lot. Oh that's that's great. It's kind of like it's kind of like Mr. Big, Sex and City. It also was at first, I might have said, Lay at the first time instead of Layla. So, that's... Wow, you have a good memory, Mia. That's what started. That's what started. And me is kind of kind of look away, because they don't know. How they're going to written, because I've never told them. But yeah, that's because you know,
Starting point is 02:20:07 Princess Lame is amazing. So there we go and moving on. I'll just call her an emergency at some point. Because I'm not on a Lame mode. I just say, you're an emergency. I actually say the name. Kate. Yes. Speaking of hunters. Are you going to be able to come up with ways to safely
Starting point is 02:20:35 put me under? We're working on it. A lot of the, yeah, it's hard recreating what Orpheus did. We don't have the resources of the money, the funding to do it. All of the investors are clearly uninvested. Everything that we were trying to accomplish is gone now and it's left to the worst people in the world. We'd be starting from scratch with no full understanding and we'd be getting back into an arms race that just told us exactly what the results become. Why do you want to torture yourself? I wonder if he's had a lot of baggage before it even started. I mean, that was obvious.
Starting point is 02:21:37 I still don't know to what extent, but it was like an albatross hanging around with snack. I think it was doomed from the start. My first start might just be what we need. And I think you can agree that there's still some good we can do with what we can do. What's the goal? What's the mission? What's the objective? Rude out the corruption that was remained.
Starting point is 02:22:04 Protects people who need it? Just help people. Help the living, help the dead. We don't need money to do that. Okay. I liked it a lot better than I thought. I thought you were proposing something different. I thought you were proposing something different. The Bureau has, the Bureau is on that next world like stink on shit.
Starting point is 02:22:31 I mean, they're talking indictments, they're talking raids. I wouldn't be surprised if they hit their headquarters and fucking Arlington or wherever the fuck it is. Yeah, well, as a person who sadly, you know, are as a group, actually, who's placed an employment no longer exists, I would strongly recommend that the Bureau don't take Next World lightly. Listen, son, look, they are.
Starting point is 02:22:58 I gave them everything I had on Next World, everything that our refuse was able to collect, and they are based on what they saw yesterday, at what you left in the house. They are well aware of who they're dealing with, especially with the resumes that the guys call them shots now. Do you think Dura'av and whoever Dura'av works for, it's just gonna let you do this?
Starting point is 02:23:22 Do you think you're small enough for I that you'll slip past? We're gonna keep asking questions. We're gonna keep pulling threads and if they come for us, we fight the good fight. I mean, we've stayed a lot of this long. We're survivors. I mean, I think that much is obvious. We find a way. A piece of the, a chess piece is off the board. It's, that's worthy of a, of county's success. Next world will fall and we'll get to do it somehow.
Starting point is 02:24:03 What a, like us for us to get through of. The, um, committed suicide. What I like us for us to get through of he Committed suicide All that little weak bitch he knew what he was doing fuck win Little last night earliest warning that we're sure it's suicide I Mean we can't track him. From what the Bureau was telling me he ate his gun. So... Do we know...
Starting point is 02:24:32 That just means that he could be in the next phase, right? It just means that he could relocate it. I mean, he could have guaranteed himself into being a... You know, he could have used pigment to ensure that he was coming back there. I'm only not luck, probably not. Sorry. Yeah. It just feels like another play. I feel like he'd be searching for Reaperdom. No, I feel like it's just thinking it's easier for him to go ahead and complete more of whatever he needs to get done if he doesn't have a physical form anymore. Yeah, he takes work he's down and then he can't be caught by the FBI because he's not technically alive. Like... That's what I'm saying is he's still out there.
Starting point is 02:25:19 I think Darav was upon. I don't think he was a shocker. So much as he would like to think he was. Ooh. Well, that where he's even more. Do you have any? Yeah. Their is as to who is calling the shots then. Probably Bishop. Yeah. Does that name sound familiar? Do you know who Bishop is as a person?
Starting point is 02:25:42 Not as a person. That's... It's been a boogie man. For as long as Orpheus has been around, people have talked about Bishop. There are people who say he survived before the purge. You know, I want all the memory of no ghost over three years old. Oh, no.
Starting point is 02:26:03 The people are Maybe only one? That's the rumor. But nobody's that nobody I know has ever seen. I'm met him, talk to him. Like I said, it's like an urban legend at this point. But, considering what Virgil told you all, maybe there's more to it. Maybe it's somebody just going by Bishop.
Starting point is 02:26:20 Using the name, I don't know. So, technically, he could be the oldest living spirit on earth? Potentially, yeah. If the rumors are to be believed and I don't give much credence to that. You don't? After everything that just happened, we don't give credence to rumors? I mean, have you met a ghost that's older and three years old? I Haven't but I used to think orpheus was untouchable. I don't know that I can exist in a world where I don't think that all these things are true Nobody knows
Starting point is 02:27:01 Nobody's ever interact. I mean Nobody living is ever interact with them. Nobody's still around's ever interacted. I mean, nobody living has ever interacted with them. Nobody's still around, has ever interacted with them. Can I ask a kind of potentially stupid question because that's my job? Shh. Sure. If all the ghosts died three years ago, and how do we know there were ghosts before that? How do we know it just didn't have, like,
Starting point is 02:27:29 start three years ago? That's actually not dumb question. Because of what we were doing. I mean, do we have like records? Not anymore. We have had records. Perge was a moment of a significant event that was being pursued afterwards. We don't know what caused it and we don't know why it happened.
Starting point is 02:27:54 But there were people like us, like the kids skim. And they didn't get affected. They did. They did? They did. They did. There were a spirit over the age of three who was manifested or who was who was skinned or slept and at that time was so how would we even know that they exist though? Like, I mean, I guess we're just going to have that we record and recognize a
Starting point is 02:28:20 little whole thing. Some of us recognize that. So sorry for the record. When did that have been happen again three years ago? Three years ago, 2015. And Orphaness has been, and well, I mean, it started as JDG cry of Gen X back in 2006. Was there another thing?
Starting point is 02:28:39 What was New, next world or anyone else doing something around that time that caused this, especially with The next world wasn't around then Exactly, well, could they have been a result of that? That's where I'm trying to say there are some The reapers and it is related to somebody doing something So maybe it has something to do with glass farmers, people who run that gang do with glass farmers, people who run that gang. I mean they seem pretty organized for what they were doing. They seem to have an ulterior purpose. Maybe. I mean so far all the refueled reports we got before everything went to shit. They were just violent, street At three level thugs. So what about the reapers we saw at the bombing of Orpheus?
Starting point is 02:29:31 You saw reapers there. Am I right, Koeh? I don't want to speak for you. I'm sorry, Koeh. You went back? Yeah, I went back with Logan. What did you see? Not much.
Starting point is 02:29:44 Well, that's not true. Perhaps they saw reapers. Reapers, there's no one there. Nobody came back. No, and those who did were consumed. Were they, did they attack the next world? Guys at all? Did they attack the next world? Guys at all?
Starting point is 02:30:04 As far as I could tell now, they were on their own. Like, next world has been particularly clear of the site, outside of a data, that was next world for the hole in the data. It was different. There was somebody else there who came for data. There were spirits, but they were not engaged by any reapers. Reapers haven't returned since the last bit of manifestations from the all-sweets. She is the first.
Starting point is 02:30:37 Yeah, I don't know. That's... Jesus. That's what I meant, though, is like they were deployed almost tactically, right? It gives some kind of significance that maybe the reapers have a goal or being used to further someone else's goals. Maybe Bishop, I don't know, but... Yeah, maybe. There's more here.
Starting point is 02:31:03 If Bishop's, and I agree with what said, like let's be for real, urban legends are not, we have to put into a factor that Bifchup is out there, and if that's the case, maybe that is actually a key point as to a lot of weirds why there isn't so many. It just feels very weird that in the afterlife there are certain rules that is like oh Three that's what I mean that just something I feel like there's something more that we're just not understanding Well, that's been the the reason I've been trying to figure out for the long was how and why Breast raid It happens. Restoring. I'm finding it hard to believe that all of these groups are independent.
Starting point is 02:31:50 Like if Orpheus and Next World and the other company, I can't remember if they're all these giants that at least... Yeah, if they worked conscious of one another, there's the radio which we still don't understand, Bishop, we know nothing about, and potentially this organized group doing sweeps that these giants might not know anything about. Like it just seems like they have to be communicating some way or related through some way. And free death knows a lot.
Starting point is 02:32:24 Free death has known everything before we knew it. Everything that we have is because the spath that shit out on the radio five minutes before we learned ourselves. I mean, if anyone's going to know about Bishop or what we're dealing with here, I mean, it might be him. It might be him. There's on the other side of that.
Starting point is 02:32:41 I think that seems pretty old himself. It could be Bishop, yeah. I don't know what the motive would be in telling us what they're planning, but Doc, who knows? Well, if any of us touched in with anyone in Terlan's squib, I mean, I don't know anyone at Terlan's squib, but they got attacked too.
Starting point is 02:33:02 So maybe they have information that we don't have, maybe they have information that we don't have, and we have information that they don't have, and if we cross-pollinate, you know, maybe we'll find something. I mean, that's a good plan. To me, there were always like the dollar general of ghost hunting, but if we need to, we got to. Love any, could you?
Starting point is 02:33:24 There's still, even though... is there facilities up in running still like is there way that they may have? Well, they got dropped like us. Completely is the building level. No, they were survived. They took some hits. They took some hits, but they're still up and running. Why would we talk to them? I don't know because you can't trust them.
Starting point is 02:33:46 It's all our general. I don't think we have that many options, though, is the thing I don't think we can be as discerning as we usually would. I think we have the fact that we have a hacker here, right? Livin' it, is there a way that you can actually just... I think we should pursue speaking to Terrell and Squibb. There's six of us.
Starting point is 02:34:06 We can split our resources if we need to to do that. But I do think that radio free death has been a mystery from the beginning. And if we could lock him in, then we might be able to cut through a lot of the middlemen. At least I would like to prioritize spending the next couple of nights trying to find him. If one of you Logan or Nikoa, if you would lend a forebode, I think maybe we could track
Starting point is 02:34:33 them the moment we know that they're sending signal. I don't actually forebode that's Okawa. Have you mentioned Chicago last night? Yeah. I think for what's worth you to follow that lead first, I'll get some of my people working the Terrell and Squid Bangal. We'll see what we can find.
Starting point is 02:34:55 I mean, those guys tortured spirits, these are not next world, but they're not exactly us either. I didn't know that. Yeah, they're not good news. I mean they invest in the go shop for Christy. Okay you cut it. That's a district a little bit. Jesus. I'm sorry we needed to guess we didn't brief you on that the bullets that can actually affect fucking joint. Right. Remember like the proton packs and the ghost traps and all that other shit.
Starting point is 02:35:30 That's terrible and squib. Unless I don't remember any of that shit. You should know who you're talking to. Don't give Terrell and Squid the ghost busters. That's just rude. Well, closest analogy I could think of. So then we have to focus on Chicago. Followed by communicate with free death when we can. I can think of. So then we have to focus on Chicago. Follow up on Chicago. We can communicate with free death when we can.
Starting point is 02:35:48 Yeah, we can run free death and Chicago at the same time because free death usually hunts us out and if he can get to our radio then he has to be at least close enough to hit one of our lines. I hope. I'll see what I can do. Okay, it's good to see you again. You too. Yeah, it's really good to see you. I'm glad you all are alive.
Starting point is 02:36:13 You too. Well, relatively speaking, in good shape, either way. We know what you meant. Yeah. I'll go circle the wagon, so make contact with the survivors advantage together up so far. We'll see if we can find more. I'll tell them you're back in the fold.
Starting point is 02:36:33 And see what we can do. We're probably one of the only crucibles in their entirety that mostly survived I think maybe we should move up a couple of numbers. They'd be crucible one. Oh Honestly, oh that's a great question Crucible zero Al Al
Starting point is 02:37:02 or just Crucible Alfa or just crucible? I don't know if we're going to keep the whole crucible thing going. That's Lazarus 1. We haven't talked branding yet, but you're at a C12. What is Lazarus 1? He picked up his bed, right? Well, we can't be mattress 1. Bible 1. No, I vote note a Bible one.
Starting point is 02:37:30 Listen, you all come up with a cool name. Just God. Just God. I do fuck with just God. Just God. Also does God have health, dental, and vision? And you got to start like, rumping off this building. I'm having an office so fix that. Saying that it's really good at more. That's not to live up to you. Get signed up for that
Starting point is 02:37:54 Obamacare. We're not even now. Now I'll see yet. It's a little less program and a little bit more cowboys. It's a little more cowboys. It's a lot more cowboys. Oh man, we've got a lot more cowboys.
Starting point is 02:38:06 We got a nice people right here to file for an LLC. If everybody just wants to have Venmo K. Arb portions and then we'll file today and you just get your account and write it up. That's feels like this has happened before and so ultimate universe. You've got to K.K.K. will handle it all and then run my side it
Starting point is 02:38:25 afterwards and we're good. Okay, who's got a phone? Oh, no, I got rid of my phone. Oh, here's I have a one burner phone. I have the other burner phone. Don't Kate takes it and punches it in number and says you can reach me here. Thank you. Save that. And I'm going to send it to the other burner phone. Make her contact her majesty to wait, wait, wait, let's says the fucking will. Fuck, I'm not.
Starting point is 02:38:59 Katie, Katie cat. No, no, no. Katie, that's why we come up with the evil fucking Kitty Cat? Kitty Cat. No. No, no, okay. Okay. So that's why we come up with a name. I have a fucking cat. William. You know what? When I just like to say that it's nice to see that when everyone is going in the new chapter
Starting point is 02:39:17 of our lives, I'm going more positive than you're getting just a little bit more darker. It's a different color free, and I respect that. Thanks, I think. Kate, Kate, Kate, Kate. I'm trying to think. Just Kate would be fine, Katie, Denison. That is the best.
Starting point is 02:39:38 I'm sure Danny, Danny. Danny, you all talk that out. I'm gonna get going. Call me, stay safe. We'll see what we can dig up. Bye, Katie. Don't die, please. I'll do my best.
