How do space cadets to the second episode of nanonebulous nights? I am your game mayonnaise Cody What I don't go bad in space nothing goes bad in space nothing ever bad happens in space Just make me think like a big floating water mayo flying past Saturn Gonna be caught by those rings. I hear j Jennifer Jennifer. Why don't you introduce yourself sure?

I am my name is Jay. I play dr. Dudad on the Amberville heroes podcast and I play a Space skeleton in bone star on this here show Mike. Why don't you introduce yourself in your character?

I'm good Hi, I'm Mike and I'm playing work the gorkin. He's a hacker engineer and hacker in both senses of the term Interesting, I know that we will definitely hopefully see a little bit more of that later But we also have another great person with us here today that not so much hacker type. We also have Eli Hey, Eli. I play mirage.

I'm a cat person who does mental things. Yeah Like math you do mental math so much mental math. That's that's pretty much my only power is just doing mental math Realize it. I probably should have introduced our gorkin first because I can make the gork gork gork gork Or the orc gork joke because we also have the fabulous other orc playing person on this podcast Matthew Morris Hi, my name is Matthew.

I'm new to this whole thing and I'm very happy to be a part of it Also, I'm not playing a gorkin. I don't know what that is The other thing that you do whatever I play I play a chance on a game called generation justice And let me say that query is a very good boy. Who's your very good boy? Yes, she is Matthew sent me a letter saying the exact thing in the mail So I don't know what he's getting at but very intimidating I've heard Alex sends a sense of dicks as well.

So I can put him on his leg display We don't think it'll get like this feed band Is this extra spoilers does query turn into a puppy dog such as and pug? I'm talking about Jesus. I don't know where you heard that wild rumor Yeah, then that's probably right Marcus always been 100% on the level. He's he's probably a better boy than query Real life the sweetest human being on the planet.

So I disagree mark and I are And and and he has called me out on every show he's been on some calling him out. Let's flex Okay, well get all this weird nonsense out of here with your other podcast and get to hell out of here because we got to talk about This other maybe virgin podcaster. We also have with this new Robert. Hi.

Yeah, I'm Robert Uh, Robert, is this your first podcast that you're on? Yep. Yep, very fast one and I'm sorry. I wanted to say something but I'm not going to because this isn't the other podcast.

Um, yeah We're I'd like to say that we're atypical, but we're not Robert what what what heavens did you like what happened in your brain that you decided? Hey, I listen to SHU and I want to be a part of this crazy madness I think something broke and then patreon got my credit card details Oh, no Wait, wait, Mike, you you you gorkening outside of the game What that's how I laugh Yeah, be careful. We need work it. Well All right, well, hopefully we will make sure that we have hacked you the right way and make sure that your money goes to a Well-deserved really fun game for you because we have this amazing space game that we're about to play last time Do we want to know it can anyone else actually describe what happened last time?

I think I got this So here's the thing we live in a faraway sector of the galaxy that is nowhere near earth, right? Yeah, very very very far away and in this sector space all the planets and the colonies and everything around these big corporations and One of the corporations is called the nebulous knights who is sort of like a neighborhood watch Cops for hire sort of mercenaries. There's a little gray area So essentially we learned that in this organization There is a higher ranking officer named bone star this unkillable skeleton with a sun for a brain And he is being asked by his supervisors to go to some interviews for potential new recruits And he doesn't think very much of that, but they're asking him to do that He's there with a couple of more professional people in an interview They're two candidates that really stand out and the first is Mirage who is from a cat like race of aliens What's the name again? We are called the veers the veers, okay?

And either like humanoid but with cat features and for and Mirage also has some secret psionic powers Not a gee let people in the interview know that because I don't think she did no She did disguise herself, but she made it seem like her ability was to morph her appearance as opposed to Flat on that she has some sign of ability. Yeah, and in the process book bone stars brain a little bit Which made bone star think that they were old friends and so he gave a glowing endorsement Which was enough to intimidate the other people in degree I guess The second candidate was a gorkin which is a space work from kind of on the outer Rangers of the galaxy and he's a food bootlegger as well as a wheel there of a sort of a crazy blade and chainsaw axe that can go through anything and Both start gave him kind of a ringing endorsement when they got into a screaming argument over who was more charitable Yeah Unless Mike wants to add a little bit more because I remember this charity off thing deal. It was really weird Yeah, I'm I'm trying to remember the charity off thing actually because a lot of it was Because morig is basically a bootlegger for his his species to get food because the galactic Senate were one of the galactic International bodies for nutrition or whatever hasn't really noticed the gorkins or recognized them as spacefaring it So it's really hard to get gorkin like food that gorkins can actually eat So he does some blockade running and ran a bulk aid that bone star was running Yep, and here's the other important part during the interview morig hacked someone's go funding for the dog In order to show off his hacking palance, and that's what prompted you Yep, right a talented computer hacker. I forgot about that part.

Yeah. Yeah, it's a Yeah, he has the massive chain axe which he mostly uses well a to cut through bulkheads in the like and be to distract people from his Data visor which he uses for actual computer hacking because nobody expects a gorkin to actually be smart let alone Oh my god, I get it. I can't and he hacks Yep, I feel like I'm the last person to get this. I'm sorry No, don't worry the listeners were probably going like what the hell does he mean?

Strapping buddy, we're gonna get a lot of what the hell do we mean? Yeah, yeah, there's gonna be a lot of that Speaking of strapping in with that little background I also kind of want to give a little bit background of what Jay was talking about before So he said this is a very large sector of space mainly because this is called the sector The sector is a very large expanse of space. There are some places that are remote in the corners uncivilized and then there's Other places that are kind of built up to be like denizens or like hub areas of the sector sort of like teaming with life in different types of Sort but like with any sci-fi story, you've got to figure out how the fuck do people get around well That's with FTL and more specifically something very important in our system is what we like to call resource X Resource X is how people actually are able to get around but because of everyone kind of like mining and trying to get to it There's a scarcity so even before we start out our entire sector has the aspect of scarcity of resource X so they're gonna be at times at points where you guys probably have to get around in space and I'll be Pulling that aspect and probably getting a detriment for you guys if you accept it So yes, so like Jay was saying before the nebulid nights are kind of like a conglomeration of people kind of like a little corporation of mercenaries Their HQ was actually built within the United colonies cluster of star systems. The United colonies are actually currently at war with the Confederate colonies There's no analog there.

I don't know what that you're talking about. Syria. What Syria? Oh Syria definitely Why the nebulid nights decided to set up their HQ there no one really knows I'm just gonna like going past some things.

There's a lot of things in this universe that I've kind of made and I'm not sure how much I want to Tell you guys, so I guess we'll just kind of discover that as we go on but very first off We got to figure out who our new players are going to play there is however a returning character from our test game Which would be Matthew's character Matthew? I'm gonna say everything that happened in that test game happened. Okay, but for some reason Don't say I don't remember it. No, okay You remember what happened you don't remember specifically what happened on that ship Okay, you remember being back the white star battalion another conglomeration of people that that are mercenaries and Some weird things start happening like you are to compatriots.

We're missing Fascinating fascinating science. I would say that after a while that they're gone missing. You would probably maybe search for them Okay, let's not let's just throw them out the window then throw them out the airlock That's pretty good. Yes, they probably fell out of an airlock somewhere It's the only scientific explanation for this then let's explain it this way some weird things started to happen in the white star battalion You started losing access to things that you had access before and they started slowly pushing you out of the picture Mmm.

They started reducing your funding. Mmm, and you needed a new place to go in get your science done and You had a special contact called Carl Sega. Sorry. Hold on Carl Sega news a Carl Satan.

No, it's Carl Sugan Yes, I know that's another yes, yes, yes I like space but he had contacted you mainly because you guys knew knew each other through the guard because he also is one of the guard and Said that he had a pretty good gig up in nebulous nights He said that however that you would have to start at the lowest level recruit But he was sure that you would rise through the ranks very quickly of course of course But with that I believe I don't know if we want to do this in the middle here or I'm talking about road about Roberts character. I think we have some small discussions about Where Sean was going to come from or at least what Sean is but we don't have to like figure out all the nitty-gritty right now What do you think why do you think Sean would join a Corporation or a conglomerate like the nebulous nights they do stand for a sense of justice But they're also sort of this freelance a little mercenary group It's best than living on the streets. I'm thinking of having my character be a refugee whose planet has been taken over by one of the companies Hold on you smart something imagine a corporation that came to your planet for resource X They mind it dry looked at Baron and only you're one of the few survivors of your species take it in by the nebulous night I'm sorry. This is Cody's world.

Sorry Tony's off making like snacking noise as well. He takes notes. I mean Let's create it to get let's like if that sounds good with you that sounds good with me I like the idea of your planet. You just want it like out now destroyed Do you want it still there but like devout like just take it's just from it?

Yes, just been drying dry Would you would you mind if we put it like maybe in the outer colonies? Yeah, go for it and let's add one more A little caveat here. It's in the outer colonies and the people who who kind of like ran it dry are as species known as the veers Oh shit There So, but there's no relation to me There's spelled V E R S common common misconception. Okay.

Well, you're still both cat like beings. Hmm space cats So that's just a long-haired versus short hair. Yeah Siamese even just wait till get to the hairless cats. Yeah Do they have sweaters made of other cat hair?

All that's adorable. So you your planet has been just stuck by stuck dry by the veers and you were you were kind of like Had to believe the planet refugee. I think maybe also Carl's who gone pick maybe Notice you he's a very inquisitive fellow. I think most of the guard are whenever they see something they like to pick up on something So whenever he sees you know, I just think you're sort of different than most of the other people around him or you know Most of the other species.

I think he picked up on it and kind of see if he could help you out a little bit What what is it that Carl's gone season you then do you think? Hmm I may could be anything from like maybe you can control plants or like maybe you just have like a really good personality Like there's a lot of things Carl's interested quarrel is interested in I Like the plant control that that sounds good. Okay. I think I probably find it quite fascinating and might Get a little bit interested in you to the point of creepy at some points, but you definitely suggest that you need to join up with the nebulous nights So I think we'll just kind of like with that little backstory.

We'll skip ahead into Back at nebulous nights HQ You guys see sort of through some view screens people walking around people kind of milling about there seems to be a Presentation happening in a different room, but corals who gone has you kind of like tucked away into his office He's sort of sitting at his desk. He's a tall robotic type person But of course some other people in the room are also robotic because they know that a small ish creature probably about what would you say Matthew like eight to ten inches Ten inches in size. They're sort of piloting this large mech So that way they can you know see a eye level with most of the other species of the sector He's sort of like giving you guys a nose and kind of giving you like a rundown of what's going on outside They're just kind of giving a preparation about what the nebulous nights stands for it's he describes it as a very boring and mundane kind of video About saving you know cats from trees and space cats from space trees and the thing on the video every now and again The vertical sinks a little off just a little bit There's a little bit of static and whatnot he kind of taps the computer and tells someone to fix it unless he wants to fix it himself But yeah, he's sitting there kind of describing stuff as he looks up What does he see across the table when he looks at xanthrop? Is this just like a normal briefing room or is this like specific to me?

This is like the two of you are kind of like sitting in his office. He's got like bookshelves everywhere Oh, it's just him and me it's just him and the two of you both Sean and Okay, I would assume that he's trying to be more facilitating to other species So he's not in his like mansion of a space that he would normally have just for himself You see that in the upper corner of the room, but yeah, you guys are not having a personal one-on-one So it's literally like the docking station for his mech and then like a desk with like a couple of chairs in front of it And of course I would have brought my mechanism I can't really sit in a chair because of the way my knees kind of bend the other way So it might be just kind of like lowers down so that I'm at an appropriate height for like a normal humanoid style species What does this mecca look like I want to get a good visual plus If you haven't noticed one of the people on staff likes to do drawings and they like to draw stuff if I give them information They won't do free drawings, which is great. So it's it's generally gray. It looks a lot like you know that that one like robot from Robocop That's not Robocop.

It's the robot that has for your identification It looks like that that scaled down it does have two legs two arms like a standard like humanoid ish robot Again, the knees kind of bend the other way But in its chest area or its whole torso area is like a cockpit with it does have plating over it But there is like a little screen where it looks like there's like cameras that he could see through It doesn't have like a discernible head It kind of has like shoulders where the arms come out of and maybe like a little bump over the top of it Which it has sensors in it, but it doesn't look like a head so to speak And it doesn't necessarily have like five fingers and five toes it has more like three just so on each So just so it can make like grabbing type you know gestures. So the magic your Mac looks like Ed 209 I think that's the one does it move for such a trickier. Yeah, you're half eight times seconds to explore It moves it moves like in a normal humanoid way, but it also has like you can deploy wheels out of the legs as well or the feet So that it can roll around on even surfaces. Okay, that's cool It's a fairly adaptable robot But it is it is pretty much what defines the guard species because without them They're pretty helpless like yeah, yeah, eight to ten foot.

I'm sorry eight and inch Like little little species they're smart, but and that's how they kind of make up for everything but without their mechs They're pretty vulnerable. Okay, so you're saying it's kind of like it's practical not just a weapon. You're not a gun damn You're a gun dang it's for specifically for example It is it is almost like a portable laboratory slash Life support system. Mm-hmm.

So he can he can like survive in like colder temperatures hotter temperatures underwater or just oxygen deprived Atmospheres, but it is limited by its power supply Yeah, cuz if it's humanoid sized like five to six feet then that's like if you're only like Nine inches taller whatever much that's a friggin spaceship that you can just wander around in and of itself It is it is essentially like a think of it as like a the way we would push you to be a mech where he is piloting it in a cockpit The majority of the rest of it is the mechanics that help it move around but also a variety of sensors and tools that he can use full science Thanks, it actually like survive Great. I think I described quarrel Sugan in a lost episode. He did not look anything like that He actually looks more towards the humanoid. He looks more friendly.

Yeah Right, so he's sort of like going through these documents and whatnot He's actually filling out some of your guys's papers and he kind of gets to like shams papers and starts like filling it out a little bit And kind of like he knows a little bit about you as he looks up and he sort of like looks you up and down What do we see? What do we see what does sham look like? Sham is has dark bark like skin except over the face where it's where the box was peeled away and it's more wooden hair Hair sort of exists but it's vines and leaves very floral. Does like does anything actually like does it actually have like flowers Bloom from it sometimes or is it just like just straight vines is a pretty really colorful?

Yeah, it can get colorful Yes flowers can bloom, but they're generally trimmed off That's a personal maintenance kind of thing. Yes Um Yeah, generally looks like a fairly young man clad in animal hide leather leather boots things like that and Probably just sat there being back on the table does a does quarrel would he get like a What he get an attitude from? Sean or is it or is like the feet upon the table more of like a I'm relaxed in this place? Probably more relaxed.

Okay. I think he probably looks his head kind of lingers looking at you And then your kind of boots for a little bit longer and then looks back down to the papers and starts filling a few things out So the rest of the crew then the new Hires so to speak are going through the regular The regular entrances and whatnot, but I've been given special designation to pick out let's say two candidates for a Fast track program so to speak and I was thinking that I could get the two of you if you do not mind I find that both of you are both intriguing and well-rounded than most of these hooligans and he sort of gestures to a picture where you see You see a person not a person Another species kind of sitting next to what you see as a green kind of skinned person with a bunch of tattoos They sort of turn and start like making motions kind of like yelling at them for some reason And then you see them kind of like put their hands in their fists kind of like mean mugging somebody Then you just yeah exactly just kind of like handed the fist kind of like doing around and then he sort of looks at it for a little bit He shakes his head and he turns back and you notice that person actually just kind of looks blankly off in space and then turns back to the front some of these people aren't basically off the street they're sort of Usually get the regular thugs but they'll usually be kind of taken care of by the first night But you will be put into a special classification. You're not going to be with the rest of well You'll be with the rest of the group, but just not doing the same missions as them I've got it from the high commander that we're going to put you in place So that way you can take on some night's missions directly without much supervision Really yes, first of all I know I said it before but uh dr. Sugan thank you again for the opportunity I understand that there have been some issues with my previous crew And uh, thank you for looking past that and getting any of this opportunity to continue my Research as it were so thank you for that and of course I assume that I'll have all of the same privileges I've had in the past and facilities to support my Living quarters if you will in the meantime, but uh, we'll I have the opportunity to lead the screw Or is this sort of one of those they've already got a leadership paradigm set up Well, I did say something about having some supervision myself and another one of the commanders here One known as bone start will be leading the four of you You'll have two other compatriots in see these missions Most of the time we usually have a pairing of at least one commander and one of the interns or new recruits But you will only be escorted by us and you actually will be going directly out of the galaxy You won't be in this galaxy for too long.

Fascinating as for your quarters. You actually be sharing it with your two other compatriots You will be free rein to do with what you will but we will give you any supplies that you need I have put in special recommendations for you and I've set aside a few things that you might find of interest and do not worry about your previous crew I understand that you had notes here that it was all for science it's Okay to be fair it's always full science and uh to be fair one of them was a renegade robot with malfunctioning software and the other was uh To be fair, I don't remember a Yes, but but at the same time I could not tell you what they were what they were they is that fair is they were You seem sort of like you should look up to the left and you know Like this is like the the general sign that he's like actually in the mech looking through documents. Yeah, yeah Prossaging yeah, yeah, I'll see you don't remember I believe so you have notes here on there's a miscommunication here So let's just refer to him as that can I roll or whatever what it was? Now it's fine.

Cora will turn to shaman If this is all appropriate with you, you also have a living quarters and anything that you would need uh for To be quite honest, I'm like I said I've been interested your species for a while if you need anything specific Let me know post case we will try to see if we can acquire for you. I'm soil Ah, yes Hold on and he does that turning to the left thing and He's done this quite a few times, but uh zanthrop knows that he's going through things and he's probably sending out an email or email or space email or something He sends a space text space text He turns back to you. There will be something immediately in your quarters. The barracks are fairly easy to get to but uh, I think we'll have tonight and then Tomorrow morning will probably start with a little bit of training Something quick to get kind of get you accustomed and used to the other trainees here But then after that we will probably be sending you on your very first mission I hope we uh, we uh get through this all in one piece That that that was a that was a joke.

I'm never good with those Uh, but yes, uh, I think I think soon we'll actually have someone escort you to your barracks pretty soon Is anything that you've had questions for me? Not go warm bad that day. May so do either one of you have any any questions for me any issues or uh, you will have all of the building materials for your own Uh, quarters if you would like I actually sat down a few uh small parts of my own that you can automate the process Oh, fantastic that that will work out just just smashingly fantastic And I feel like it is important to mention that I do need a docking station for the mech if that's fine He he kind of like looks appalled Of course I put what we make sure that we have everything that anyone would need on the ship itself Fantastic you as you know, we leave no stone unturned We leave no question unasked because we want to make sure that we are set up for success Mind you I could craft one myself on the ship, but I would prefer that there is a Certified recharging unit on board the ship before I get there. Otherwise we might have some issues with the power supplies Me and you will talk later about customizing as you see I've done some modifications to mine You can treat.

Yes. I like the gold trim on it. It's very nice. Thank you Got it.

I don't want to do this forever, but I want to uh So uh, you you see him like go over and press a button on his desk and uh, he calls for someone that comes down the hallway and opens the door And you see a sort of a large mouse like person standing in the doorway with like a bunch of armor and whatnot on And uh, they kind of squeak at you. They say this way and they lead you down a bunch of hallways The barracks to the nebulinites the nebulinites HQ is actually just a large floating space station Sort of outside one of the planets called west ishore um And he leads you down some of these corridors, but you guys find yourself all the way down at the very bottom or planet side of the ship So you guys have a pretty nice view outside out of the ship Um As you guys get there you notice some of the other people kind of walking in Uh people coming from an opposite direction you see a bunch of new people that you saw on cameras before kind of Uh being escorted to different places, but you guys get led into uh a doorway It opens up and you see a large common area sort of like there's a kitchen in the back There's a large screen and then on the left and the right there are several doors probably out 12 doors and all and there He just sort of gestures inside he goes you all have free range of uh, what what's in here now? I believe it's just the two of you no no the four of you in this room. So you're sharing an entire place together Uh, please do not try and uh do too much in the modifications.

Please pick a room and stick to them It's better for our uh for our data to be honest Oh, we have to make sure everyone's in place and not make sure that everyone is sharing Um, I believe you had a special request your soil should be coming as soon Uh, make sure that you notify the door which one is yours and uh, if you have any other questions, uh, please just uh ring for the janitorial service I'm I'm I'm I'm like I'm like I'm like I'm like love and then he sort of uh turns and starts to scamper off Cody just so I I'm a hundred percent sure on this. This is the ship itself. This is the ship itself It is a massive Great And fantastic I would like to say for the record as soon as lila had said don't make too many modifications There's a combination sound and vibration through the floors of what sounds like grinding and feels like grinding But at a level that should not be for just someone using a grinder on a tool Like like it's like it's been done for flavor or like there's actually something that's happening on board the ship That sounds like a modification has been done to the ship It's almost as if someone has been making modifications to the ship in the rooms because he hadn't been told to not make modifications So understood with that we will going to be we will going to assume that our two other players are already inside the room and uh One of them is already making modifications. Uh, ely has mirage already picked her room is she in the common area?

Um mirage would have waited for for morgue to choose his room and then shows in the room as far away from his room as possible Oh Just you wait. Um, yeah, so you definitely feel this like this verb rearing throughout the ship. You can actually probably hear it as uh, I'm going to say that uh Kind of forget people's names already and I have a fucking specific sheet morgue. Thank you morgue is already probably specifically chose his room And I'm guessing that mirage is across the hall.

Um, so across the hall down the hall whatever is the farthest away from morgue Yeah Get since there's a space for 12 rooms and morgue had already been told that there's gonna be at most like Five people other people sharing these rooms. He went, okay Gotcha that one and he pointed to the back left corner and just went for it and went open concept, baby Oh, he's just opened up the walls found himself some extra space. Yeah, he's Right now. He's in the process of using his chain axe to cut through the bulkhead between the uh, back left and the second most back left rooms because he's planning on having both his like bedroom and then a workshop slash uh, mechanics lab code yeah with morgue on this if there's only five people that are gonna be in this 12 person suite We each get two rooms, right?

Listen, this is something that you're supposed to be doing in game morgue has already got his axe to a wall So he's already going with it. You guys are still staying in entrance xanthrop doesn't need it, but it's i'm just saying that i'm Yeah, so i i also imagine that as as uh, as um, Zanthrop and shawm come into the room and they hear all the grinding and stuff from from rajas room and just hear fucking christ morgue it's been four hours knocking off Do you do you know me down this one work? Pipes in from the comms that he shouldn't have access to yet, but does like don't worry It's almost done i'm just getting out the last of the i'm chamfering at the ends just to make sure that nobody catches when they go through the different chambers This is great. Yes.

Yes. So what we describe uh, I know this probably gonna do it again But let's describe for uh our people here. What does morrage look like when she kind of leans out of her room to yell across the hall Mirage looks like a giant lynx, uh, if, um, so to hit links. Yes, um, uh, kind of like, um, she has dark gray fur Um covering her body with a white patch of fur directly beneath her neck And I hope this is not contradicting what I said in the first episode because that was a while ago But this is how I imagine her.

Um, so yeah, but but she looks like a giant, um, lynx. She's about i don't remember what I said Maybe so i'm pointing further on the on the ears and like the the the cheek fur kind of like flares out Yeah, she looks glorious like just pristine Like cleanliness is a feature. Yes Uh, so with that cham i'm going to say that when you see this what does it what does it make you feel when you recognize someone from the race who who destroyed your planet? Uh, just instantly become paralyzed Like flat is in my mind and there's nothing I can do at that exact moment Do I register these flashes?

Uh, why don't like what does I pick up on what cham is feeling? Why don't we oh you said feeling I thought you were Uh, i'm gonna say xanthrop Robert if this is okay with you. I'm gonna have xanthrop role in notice Uh, but our residents like it here could probably you can empathize I don't know. Is this kind of like a super intelligence thing?

No, like would this would this be something? Okay, unless you're like super intelligent psychology No, you know what it's fine because I rolled two fives and two sixes on my notice and my notice is plus two so I got a plus six And I got a plus four total so uh as this sort of happens you you xanthrop notice, uh, shan kind of lock up and paralyzed Uh, but um raj you actually feel this sort of like Robert if i'm going too far, let me know like negative energy or these these flashes into your mind about what had what had what has happened to waves of anger and unease Okay, yeah um, so at that um Uh, miraj's ears are going to to perk up and she's going to turn around uh to see who These feelings are coming from and um as sort of like her go-to reaction She's going to try to smooth out the anger and stuff a little bit because she does not like people feeling angry at her because that usually means they're going to try to attack her We've just introduced the characters to each other and you're already manipulating minds go right It's just sort of her go-to thing man. This situation is awkward. I should alter this psychically Uh, would that be a deceive or an empathy?

That's a deceive uh shan I would like you since we don't have a skills for you right now I would just like you to see uh, roll and see if you can uh defend with what you have And then maybe we could talk about will and stuff because this would definitely There has to be some sort of like yeah, like benefit to her or to character based on that racial relationship Uh, so I got a plus four deceive I've got plus one. Okay, so i'm gonna say that that shan you are your nerves are sort of calming down You don't feel quite as paralyzed, but you were still on uh quite a bit of high alert because this is you know a Species who kind of attacked your planet Do you want to say anything or you what are you i'm interested in what shan's gonna do I've been talking about oh god Like throwing you into the fire watching you burn for a little bit and going oh god That's rude That's true. I didn't mean to i'm just as bad as the beers Hey, hey, you throw them under the artificial uv lake and see how they react If shan just wants to stand there kind of paralyzed still i mean can Uh, yeah Okay, so so seeing this uh mirage is just gonna kind of awkwardly look uh to to both of the to both of the new people staying in the doorway and say uh Grand greetings. I am a Raj the noise you hear is morgue and then pop back into her room Oh, not not even wait for like a response or anything just kind of like just shut yourself away.

Yes, okay Fascinating So yeah, you guys are kind of set up in the room uh you he did the uh, what I call him lily lyla Lily said that you guys did have free reign and to make sure that the door was notified which room that you had Yeah, his aunt will go into his room and he will begin construction of his domicile Specifically the space that his non-piloting body would use So how would you how would you set up the room would it just be like nothing like just cleared out of everything just the wherever there was like A bunk or a bed space he would just take whatever that furniture was deconstructed into his material components uh for future use but in that in that space he would construct what would be considered like a Three-story four-story home based on what materials were available to him full of plumbing and uh, you know fixtures and furnishings to suit his needs Uh and separately from that in whatever he would be considered his free space. He would create a laboratory of some sort where he'd be able to conduct experiments Okay, what about what is morgue working on? He's definitely got a double room now since uh Yeah morgue is in the process of and he's not being as delicate with tearing out stuff that he sees as superfluous as much as sharing it off at the edges and piling it in the corner for Either finding out if there's any sort of nanotech Trans uh transmogrification into component parts for like solid slabs of steel or what have you He's not worrying about that as much right now as just getting stuff cleared away So and getting the divide between walls nice and smooth So that he'll be able to start installing a machine shop components like a lathe a milling machine a cnc machine 3d printer Just getting stuff set up that if there's anything that we might need for A machine shop in between missions that he'll be able to just quickly and and effortlessly Just knock it out of the park You know Thinking on that I actually like that kind of aspect that that you guys are kind of putting to it One of you has a laboratory one of you has like a kind of thing to help you crap uh with that in mind uh shawm after a while you actually get a delivery of just this large uh just this large box of soil And they sort of like they have to like maneuver it through the doors and they like close it and put it sideways and they stick it in there And they maneuver it all the way there and then you just take like this They take out your bed because they like they take out your bed and then they look at you for a second It's like a bunch of those like a mouse people in those uh like armored suits and they sort of look at you They're like do you need the do you need the bed or is the soil okay? Yeah, take a bath just get rid of it Okay, and they sort of like haul up the bed and then they put the soil in place of your bed Uh, they also give you a codey Just so you're just so you're aware is anthraub is already making a list of things he can do to improve the space for eat to to meet each specific character's needs Okay And we'll get to those when they become relevant okay So so what it'd be safe to assume that santraub and morgue have kind of had a bit of a meeting going like why are you?

Oh, I see what you're doing in here and Is more yet don't don't assume things Okay, uh, so let's go back to it's all done So they put this they go back to rob it real quick They put the soil in the room sham and uh, they actually have a lot of other materials out for the other people kind of like building their own things Kind of in the main common room. They made this large area full of like any supplies that you want There's actually small little robots that are actually taking things and building with them Is there anything that you want to do with your soil or there's like also just a on the wall There's like a display screen with like a list of components that you would need Is there anything that you would want to do your room or Uh, no, it would just basically be take like the top layer of soil and spread it over the room generally Okay, and start filling with climate controls to make it as humid as possible in here As you're sort of like spreading out the soil you notice that most of it's kind of like like clean It's got like nutrients and whatnot into it Uh, but something seems off Um, mainly because as you're spreading the soil around you actually notice a smallish seed probably about I don't know probably about four millimeters like big And uh, you get like this, uh, weird kind of Message from it not like a not like a like a message itself But more like emotions of like of like helplessness into it and it seems like this little seed is Like it wasn't supposed to be in the soil and it just kind of starts calling out to you What do you want to do with it? I'm going to plant it just find a pot a bucket something put a bunch of my soil in there and plant seed and start taking care of that It seems fairly grateful once you've like start tending to and kind of putting in a pot Is going to be in the common areas are going to be in your room Uh, probably my room to start with at least As you're sort of doing this, uh, you notice you hear hacking again from the nearby rooms in probably a room down the hall from you I've kind of got like a mental setup where you guys are at, but then we go to uh, across the way to Mirage's room. Mirage.

What are you doing to your room? So the first thing Mirage does because of uh her past and her instincts being on the run and trying to conceal um, she's already logged into every um She's already logged into every interface in the room to uh to figure out how it works and see if there's a way that she can To see if she can block any um like programs that are that are monitoring her, uh, because although she's somewhat, uh, turned away from her past Um, because she you know kind of had to uh, she's still Opening up avenues that if she wants to get back into the black market game or the black market game She can and have this as a base of operations. Uh, so she's trying to cover her tracks or or anything just to make sure Okay, as you're sort of going through like the systems, uh, It seems like you're having some issues Going through the systems of this The session is gonna be real heavy as you're going through the systems You're getting some like uh complications here and there but you seem to get a general like blackout area of just your room Um, there's still the door itself, which is supposed to notify Uh kind of like notify other people about not what's going on in the room, but who owns the room? Uh, and it's just like a general system where you can like order things up to your room and stuff like that Uh, do you want to shut that system off as well?

Yes, I I kind of want to make this a blackout room so to speak Uh, so I guess I don't really want to shut it down, but I want it to where it will give false readings Um, so that it so so that if I have people in that I don't want, um The nebulinites to know about uh, it won't register them. Uh, so so basically just trying to cover my tracks Okay, yeah, you could definitely shut down the systems that are directly uh monitoring your room You notice that the door system that you have here is not monitoring it But there are definitely things attached to it that are monitoring it and you shut that you kind of like sever those connections from it And you you kind of get the feeling that most of it's kind of shut down, but what about like the rest of the room that you have? Yeah, so um, so um mirage mirage would probably keep things pretty scarce, um Just because of the the life that she had led, uh, because although The office that she kept when she was the mob boss well The the time that one of her her personalities was the mob boss like that was very opulent But that was more the minotaur style. Um mirage herself is more scaled back.

Um, uh, she keeps everything So so everything has its place. Um, so like the twin pistol she has they're there in a set place They're there they're on the bed beneath billows one underneath each pillow The long duster she has is hanging up in a specific place and it's she made sure that it's it's not wrinkled It's it's set up But every but as far as like what the room itself looks like she Doesn't necessarily plan on staying around too long. Uh, this is sort of a a pit stop as she plots her revenge and gets back to her Previous life so she she doesn't she's not making too many attachments right now. Okay, so just trying to keep it sparse Okay, so as you guys are like going through your rooms respectively and whatnot kind of building things and making it kind of your own or Not your own in some of the people's cases.

Um, you guys get the door opening and quarrels have gone and bone star walk in Uh bone star He's been discussing with you about the plans and activities that he has for the rest of the day And that the two of you are actually going to be in competition with one another because as the high commander put it Uh, she is going to have the two of you pit your choices against one another Um as he sort of explaining this to you's like well, you see we usually go through you skipped the I don't like to call it hazing but the Singling out of some of the recruits some of them. Let's say don't get past the first night We've disabled it in this room because to be quite honest, it's a bit of a pain to clean up and we don't want to Well, it seems like most of these people here would probably destroy Uh, well the things that I've built but let's let's skip that That's a weird sense of deja vu all of a sudden. Let's skip that for tonight And I'm glad that I got you in time before you know that all went off Um, let's just say don't be worried if you see his screams outside in the hallways I'm gonna uh bone star is gonna reach into like a burlap sack that he has in his hand and throw a bunch of what looks like metal and Circuit board into his mouth and then kind of like stare at the guy for about half a second Go so wait any of the hasten people who may know no no no leave the hazing to us We have a delicate hand if you know what I mean, so you gotta haze me in because I'll kick your ass No, let's we're not hazing We're not using you we didn't haze you when you first arrived because we knew what you were capable of and we're not hazing your your two Protegezier Okay, well, that's that's whatever but just grabs another handful of stuff. It's a lot.

Why are you eating chips? They're chips they're a big box of metal I found out in the ship's bay navigation systems. I don't know what they are but they're fucking delicious Yo Yo eating navigational boards. Well, not eating them.

I mean they're just like burning them and atomizing because my brain feel funny So you technically okay hold on give me a second. He started like looks to the left and He's like looks the left for a while kind of goes on How does it that's no that's beside the point? It smells it smells in my mouth. Yeah, no, that's understandable Smells and your mouth fully destroyed and noted that's Anyway, the two of us will be in competition the high commander wants to see if we can pit our two protege against one another We'll be joined by two other teams.

Okay, and tomorrow we will basically do some festivities some things like you know avoid avoid the spherical object and the thing where you know Sesius you have a little bit short sword. No. No is it shirts and skins? No, well the first one Evading the spherical the spherical orb.

Yes, that is that is going to be a more active sport. Okay I've got a good I've got a good orb shot Cody can I spend a fake point to walk in on this conversation work having hacked into the uh, PA system and having listened into it and say like what like avoid the noise I'm taking a big and just kind of zanthrop will come in be like Dot Excuse me. Oh, you mean like dodgeball. I'm also taking I want to get a big one for you I didn't say I was using a fake point So there's a difference between what I said when he said yeah My my fake point was to kind of retcon and all the stuff that I had done in the One of the last episodes where morick had already insinuated himself into the PA system and the Community the data sphere of the space station to it's called yes, and Okay, yes, and he's sort of like in turn and not see yes, yes, yes, and such it's I believe that you're familiar with such Look Chris.

There's someone on the end of con. That's the principle. That means I gotta go. No, no, no, no No No, don't start dude.

That's me. I'm speaking with both of my voices right now. Oh, you got he got the principles off Congratulations, man. You really earned it Thanks.

Uh, I'm the boss now. Uh, we have to do what we say. You're not no. No, you're not the boss.

You don't get to drive the ship I drive the ship Okay, but sleepover. Mm-hmm. Yes. There are plenty of rooms here pick a pick a pick a place.

Don't start okay And once again from a roger's room, you just hear a very exasperated. Fuck Okay, buddy. Yes. I'm I'm fine just Regrating what I got myself into just you know, I'm developing a soundproof layer that I can put between each of these rooms and it Absolutely dampen all noises coming from I'm sorry Extremely as coming from each of these other rooms.

I think you'll find it quite fascinating. Yes, let's talk later I wasn't talking to you. Sorry talking to Carl Suga. Dr.

Carl Suga I don't think we've met before but uh, is that for a sex dungeon or something? Oh, sorry. Who are you? Oh, uh, Mark nice to meet you and he sticks his hand out to the uh Oddly enough directly to the cockpit where he knows that it could open up and he sticks his hand out But points out a little his index finger for sure.

Zamfrop takes a DNA sample Fascinating. Yes, I've heard of your species before however. I can't believe I've seen you so far away from your home planet This is quite fascinating for science reasons Actually, yeah, that's that's a relatively good intuition for that I'm one of the few organs that I've made it off the homeworld. I'm a trailblazer so to speak Would you say that's some sort of a species of title that was that like just a genetic telling you've given yourself The pathfinder thing.

Sorry. Yes trailblazer. Whatever you called it. Sorry playing a lot of massive effect in tromter recently Yeah, sure uh that thing Great.

Thank you for that. I'll put that in my notes Morick has gotten so used to playing with dumb idiot that when he's speaking to someone that is actually probably as smart as him He doesn't know how to react like uh sure. Yes Yes, I'm assuming all this is happening in the common room as you guys are standing around a bone star and as well as the two of you are kind of like in the common room discussing this Is mirage still in the room and shawm still in the room as well in their own respective rooms. Yes.

Yes So each each team has a lunar. I like uh for the record morgue is going to subtly try to test the wireless protocols on Keep on forgetting his name. I keep on wanting to say zardaws instead of zanthrop Zanthrop it really just says right off Work is going to subtly try testing zanthrop's max uh wireless security The funny thing about the mech is that it only it only reacts to inputs from within the cockpit It doesn't actually connect to the wireless itself be that as it may morgue is still going to start testing to see if there's any Vulnerabilities that he can access quickly if he doesn't foot So are you saying you're testing while you Rather Ah when you search for the wireless networks, there's a few but none of them are coming from zanthrop smec There is one There is one you notice that is actually coming from coral sugon smec however. Oh Mmm That's roaky shit.

He should know that shit. Yeah. It's bad. Yeah.

It's like vulnerabilities there, but oh Vulnerability and teacher bought let's check this out and I mean there are other wireless like networks around But yeah sure if you want to try because I had spent the fake point to already know about the vulnerabilities that were there for the initial stuff Uh-uh So more it's gonna work so to test out uh to see carl suguns Vulnerabilities because he has an experience too many yard and he wants to uh To know a culture is to know how they code and And if he can Namaste and if he can figure out how one codes he'll have insight into how others code Because that may come in handy someday. Okay Go ahead. Give me a role as I find uh coral sugon. Oh, hey So morgue is using will for hacking for this Individual instance because that's uh the step that we had agreed on before Yeah, we might be changing that basically what whatever hacking turns into it'll change morgue stat and will to whatever that hacking thing is Uh, that's a six.

Okay Or if I remember the fate ladder correctly fantastic uh, well, um Zephthrupp is going not Zantra but uh coral sugon is going to use a fate point and he's going to get a seven And as you're sort of going throughout his systems, you actually notice on uh your interface. I'm assuming you're using your visor Uh, you notice a small like blip appear It's sort of this like eight bix pixel-y version of what you can assume a guard to be look like and you see it sort of like animating in this like Frame-by-frame thing and it's like shaking its finger going uh Interesting. Oh, this is the first time someone's actually managed to almost counter hack me for a while I'll have to keep an eye out like I gotta meet more of these guard folk they seem like good people And we're going to proceed to try to purge anything that uh carl may have implanted onto his visor But but he's gonna be a quick like cleanup Then potentially other stuff because I don't want to you. I don't want to spend a bit on two-handed typing Okay, yeah, you do a little bit of cleanup for that and uh, it sort of gets wiped away pretty pretty quickly It seems like he only put it like in a local kind of like a place Or at least whatever he had he'll put it in a local place.

Um Yeah, so what are the what are the rest of you doing for tonight? You guys have like a little sleep over here the uh, the Teachers quote unquote are sort of in milling about uh coral is definitely trying to go through a bunch of stuff with bone star How did it like access his memos and how to access his email? I'm just curious kody has it been made clear to uh the rest of the characters that there's some sort of competition between Bone star and carl sugon. Uh, no it has not yet.

Okay, so what uh once He's gone. Uh, so once xanthrop has uh Actually established his own sort of home base townhouse within a room kind of a scenario He's actually going to start trying to make improvements to the other player characters spaces so he's going to generate a A higher potency soil that would better suit uh sha sha sha sha sha um physiology You know because not all plants require the same level of each like the phosphates and the whatever the right i Science It's very sciency. Um and for mirage he's going to generate some sort of like soundproof shielding so that um rages And actually i have to hear the grinding that's going to happen between uh, um mirage's room and Morgh's rock is theory all the grinding from morgh's room should have stopped by now And he's offered his services to help if anyone else wants any improvements to the room as well He's saying like before I start like setting up the late like the 3d printer setup The lathe and the milling machine aren't yet or the cnc machine either But if anyone else wants any uh Like diy stuff done with their rooms. I can help out with that So xanthrop's done the stuff that I said that xanthrop's done ever It's about it.

Uh, that that's of course granting uh as long as they they give you access Charm is that is that cool with you if xanthrop kind of comes in? Oh, no, no, no This is like an outer shell that xanthrop has put on mirage's room. Uh, okay It's like it's like he's got his door and like whatever walls are part of the common space between the uh, uh, the rooms he's put like an extra like almost soundproof layer over it Okay full science because quite frankly xanthrop needs a pet project You know To do just because i'm a cat does not mean you can consider me that It's not gonna be a thing So I have one quick question real quick how it's more it's emphasis on the project less on the cat One question real quick how many rooms did morgue take over? Morg in this instance has taken over two The one that he'd been assigned and the one that he's turning into a machine shop If just bit yeah, uh, mostly mainly because So go ahead, i meanly because he doesn't know if there's going to be any other people that may be joining later He doesn't anticipate that there's gonna be a full stack of 12 But if there's a full stack of 11, he's still safe with eating one of the rooms basically Got you.

Uh, bone star which which which room do you have? Uh, right now I have the four corners Which is xanthrop in the top left morgue in the top right morage in the bottom left and shawm in the bottom right To be honest, he probably doesn't stay in the same room. Okay, he just got wanders around He doesn't sleep and he doesn't really ever do anything that's not wandering around seeing what other people are up to Okay, so he doesn't he doesn't have a place to call his home. He he has a deep longing to be in his ship And since the same is ship, it's not the same thing Got you.

Yeah, you do have free access to your ship. Although they do Very adamantly a request that you don't use it as much Oh, i'm in there 24 seven then basically. Oh, they don't want you to like flying away all the time Oh, no, no, I just that's right. That's where my room is.

I don't i'm not using the common quarters because that ain't my home Got you. So after milling up out for a little bit uh coral sugon has gathered you all up in the main living area Sort of like asking you all to take a seat or stand respectively and uh, he sort of addresses all of you says Tomorrow we will be doing a bit of training. There will be uh various tasks assigned for each group Um, what's going to be happening is myself and bone star have picked uh two of you out My two proteges are sham and zanthrop while bone star has picked both morgue and barrage for your special skills. I did Yet remember the interviews bone star Oh, I didn't know this was part of the game It at first it wasn't but the high commander decided that maybe there should be something a little bit more interesting on the line if you sort of speak Tomorrow we will start our little series of games Uh each one of us will be assigning some other people other teams recruits that uh survived the night Uh, they will be joining you on your teams.

You actually be able to get to pick who you are assigning to which teams sort of like a round Rubbin thing but space around grubbin thing There will be three There will be three contests or one will be that of a dexterity Uh one will be more of wit and the other a mysterious third option that I've made up myself Something special that I put in uh, which it seems a little unfair, but you know kody can I try to subtly probe his mind and find out what the uh With a third category work has already known that there's some sort of vulnerability in his Maxuit so that may be an end for him to try to hack in and like if more actually tries to hack in and see like, oh, what's the secret? Cody can I roll contacts and see if I know what he would be up into Uh, so I got a plus six empathy roll I'm not gonna get a plus saying six of the contacts, but I just wanted to ask that question of the plus Okay. He also has a six for his will to defend against that Okay, you do get a boost what the fuck happens you do get a boost against him Uh, but what you get from the information from that I will tell you after we get rolls from everybody else Okay, and work is rolling will I am going to do not which which aspect would work best for this Uh, I am going to go with Hacker of a heart of gold For the aspect for this uh gets the job done no matter the cost would also be sufficient It would fit thematically to add plus two to my roll and get a seven on my will for hacking I will give this to you However, since you use hacker with a heart of gold You find other files that are marked not designated anything current Uh, but seem interesting But because you do use hacker with a heart of gold you are not going to look at those files and you only find schematics for a large what seems to be a large room with non-euclidean structures, which means that's curvy as hell It's it's very strange, but it seems to be a foot race Now Cody if this was some sort of puzzle or riddle or some sort of other mentally-absorbing task Uh, would this be something I would be able to use my super intelligence on? Roll contacts Shams you want to try and be like the rest of these motherfuckers trying to figure out What's going on?

I had a plus four on contacts What the four is actually pretty decent, so I'm gonna give you uh, he's he's definitely one for he's definitely one for riddles and puzzles Um, he likes it to see other people struggle. You know that about him He does he loves it. He's very sadistic in in certain ways. He loves to see people like trying to get through tasks Um, but there's always there's with him.

There's always an easier way of doing things So it's not just everything's not just so straightforward Uh, and then what you get from uh, mirage you get like this at first it just feels like this kind of like you get like this weird like anime kind of Chuckles, uh, but then you kind of get like this feeling in your mind of uh Of him like late at night spending so much time on uh, these some schematics that you kind of get like the You don't get the visions of them, but you get this feeling of him like working out how to do this And then you see this like him figuring out a huge riddle to what resource x does to actually produce f t l flight And you realize that he has figured out how to fold space and time in small sections. Oh, that's cool. Oh, that's why the foot race is non-uclidean because it uses jump gates Um as he sort of likes sitting there, she likes he's like he doesn't have a faceplate But he's obviously smiling at you all and he says well, you might want to get some rest for tonight Like I said before there may be screams from other rooms. Uh, believes nth rapsets Think about some uh sound dampening or some sound shielding, but uh, if there's any other questions like I said, you can always contact me Everyone here has probably signed up for the space instant message Um, but if there's anything else you can please contact me or bone star Don't start if you have any questions.

You might want to relay to me. Uh, you can find me in my office Is that where you go to cry? Yes, but that's where I go to cry Because I know where that is. That's easy.

Okay. I'll see you there. Okay. All right.

Thank you I wish you all a good night and let the games begin in the morning and he sort of turns around Has a pottity that wishes that my Superior was not one who went to his room to cry. He has a wet night sometimes just give him a break Morg is going to try to get in touch with mirage subtly for saying like, okay, I'm not sure how you feel about shady business that may be outside the Extents of the law. He said not knowing anything about her black market contacts But I have intel on the layout of at least one of the challenges I have the schematics for an onion plity. Oh, how foot race how Um, very good of you.

Uh, we can discuss this in the morning I'm I'm rather tired and and there's a bell calling my name and the offer still stands I know I was noisy as hell before but now that I have customized a manufacturing processes I should be able to make things customized for wider manufacturing if there's any mods that you want for your room Just let me know. I appreciate that. I will I will definitely let you know Okay, have a good night You too Does Zenthrop and Shama to have a team meeting before they go to bed? Yes, will Zenthrop wants to let Shama know that he's developed a more pH balanced soil that is better for his his particular Bio structure.

I like how you go into into character voice, but you still use it the third Yes, actually I actually I actually like to think that Zenthrop refers to himself and the third person about half an Anthrop says yes, it's in it has to take very meticulous notes All right, so you guys are gonna have this conversation so many guard that make very many discoveries He has to note specifically which discoveries he makes for scientific truth that so many PhD thesises for science for science Science he does that thing that Matthew said that Zenthrop does the thing And then we go to bed Okay, good night everybody. I'll see you tomorrow Sean do you accept his help in kind of like helping you with the pH balance in your room? Do you want my good soil? Yeah, I take good soil.

Okay. Yeah As a feel Are you going to put this new soil in the same potty plant that you put the the seed in? I put a seed in something. Oh, I'm sorry No, I'm gonna try to out myself first before passing it on any other species.

Okay Do I have to roll a craft or something on on good soil? It's like a first episode. We'll figure out craft stuff later. I'm just gonna get in I have a plus four to craft I mean, I'll you all right roll it.

Okay. I want it to be real good. Okay Um, it's a plus six on craft for soil. It's a real good soil.

Yeah, it tastes good. It tastes good on your roots. Uh-huh The plants the plants they love it. Sean they love this soil.

It's so good. Oh my god. Oh my god soil So so Zenthrop goes back to his room and Sean as you're kind of spreading it like kind of mixing in this new soil Uh, you get the feeling from the the little seed again And as you look over you actually see it's already started to like develop It's already started to like bloom. There's like a little bud that's sticking out between like a few leaves And uh, it starts talking to you not like actually talking like like feed me see more but like telepathically to you You see the more And it just yeah, it just keeps like asking you questions like, you know, where am I who am I it seems like it almost sounds like a lost child in a way I I'll answer its questions the best I can and probably as I go to bed take the pot into the box soil.
