V1K1NG | E4-P2 "Roanoke"

from Des Moines and Dragons Hosted by Paul Privitera

E4 P1- In 1587, a second colony was founded on Roanoke. It was then that Virginia Dare, the first baby born to English parents in North America, was born. John White, the leader of the colony, went to England to get more supplies. When he returned in 1590, the settlement was deserted. All the settlers had mysteriously disappeared. The only clue he found was the word "Croatoan" carved in a tree. To this day no one knows what happened to them. It's possible that the Colonists joined with the friendly Croatoan natives. Or were they massacred by the unfriendly Wanchese tribe? No one knows for sure. E4 P2- In 2510 two party members of the solar systems political party the "Prosperity Caucus" are tasked with heading to a station near Saturn to plant a listening device. The party members Vicini and Ellena discover that the job in question is more dangerous than they had realized. * This Weeks Episode of Des Moines and Dragons is sponsored by the folks at DSM Foundry.

Think about that. Oh, I'm not gonna say it now. I'm embarrassed. Now we're live We're back part dose the really weird strange episode of Viking That's all like all the title and everything is starting to make sense all of a sudden all the sudden Green text scrolls by the scene as we fade away from the scene in Roanoke and Green text comes across the screen that same old text we love Venus luxury flotilla 11 days four hours and 15 minutes until and then it puts in quotes the unveiling Your characters meaning charity and Tim's characters sit in plush white chairs the chairs are adorned in brass rivets With the Venusian royal coat of arms and blazoned on each of them The chairs a tall backs and with a hand carved helmet of an old knight from early humanity before the chairs is a large Darkwood desk with the seal of the Venusian quartz carved in front atop the desk are papers and a complicated computer terminal Behind the desk is a single large window viewing out to the upper atmosphere of Venus The room itself is of dark wood and heads of various animals are mounted on the walls a Cosmetically overweight man in a fancy science fiction suit is Across from you looking out the window of the Venusian atmosphere I want to extend my appreciation to both of you for volunteering for this operation Despite not knowing the details and the requirements I know that I can trust both of you your dedication to the cause We are proud to serve the party as always We couldn't be more thrilled of course Vassini and I have dedicated our lives to this cause Good good.

I am it's the party needs individuals like you with dedication to separating ourselves from those Things that live out past the belt you could barely call them people or they not directly descended from the same kin as we They may be directly descended from the same kin as we but we do not have to associate ourselves with them any longer Yes, well, hopefully that time will be coming very soon and with this assignment that I am sending you both on I think that time may draw closer than we anticipated But first could I offer you a drink of anything? Oh, yes, please he goes over to his desk and pushes a button down Carmella bring in whiskey and ice cubes for my guests, please I mean takes his hand off of the comms anyway Unfortunately, there's a bit of paperwork that we must do before I go too much further There are two sheets of paper here on my desk and he slides he turns from the Terminal and slides to his paper for each of you for his paper total, but thank you You're welcome slides in both in front of you An important note in this world that we have created paper is extremely rare And it is almost exclusively used by the aristocracy as like a sign of wealth like being able to write things on paper makes it The gravity of signing something on paper is infinitely more powerful than like an electronic signature anything the scene he runs his hand over the paper It's a fine vellum and the texture of the of the paper is exquisite and what will we be signing today? Well, you must sign these non-disclosure agreements I am required by Venusian law to explain you will be bound to penalty of indentured servitude or execution should you violate this agreement? Well, I don't think you'll have a problem with us.

No, this is all but a formality you understand of course we understand excellent and he Opens a desk door and pulls out two very fine and nice ballpoint pens enhance them hands one to each of you Obviously he takes it in signs I want it as the same it's the document is I mean just a standard non-disclosure agreement that under blah blah blah blah you hear the sound of the door opening behind you the This room and the vibe should be of like old money like a like modern day old money But sci-fi future and a woman in a like what someone if you'd have to describe a French made outfit to someone who'd never heard of it That's kind of what this looks like. It's not a French made outfit, but it is of that ilk Comes in with a tray and on the tray or two glass Tumblers with brown liquid in them and there's a small container of ice and she sets it on the desk in front of both of you And then hands picks up little some tongs and holds ice cube cube for you sir. Yes one Cube for you ma'am. Yes.

She ticks the container of ice and then exits and she turns nothing for you, sir and Tassen burrows says no no be gone woman and she turns and scoots out of the room very intentionally Making her butt move a lot and he like he very clearly watches as she walks away and gets this just gross smile across his face We should be so lucky that we find ourselves in the company of such fine specimens of the faire sex Hey, Vassini truly the heights of evolution Mm-hmm now we should get down to brass tacks as it were You've been tasked with rooting out a terrorist cell a board one of the old Confederate stations Petulant rednecks the gall of them to be calling that shit hole the gilded rings beyond me If I'm to bring proof before Parliament of their treachery or if I'm going to accuse them of any of these sorts of activity in front of Parliament I will need proof of their treachery You were to deliver this innocuous looking object and he takes his terminal and turns it to you and you see a like a Builders schematic, but it is of a tree You were to take this plant innocuous looking plant to Emerald station place it inside one of the abandoned apartment complexes Diashi personnel quarters has some I don't particularly care for the details, but you're to plant this there and you were to leave to leave Oh, she is funny that one keep her around Vassini. I think I will You are to yes deliver this innocuous looking plant it is to feed us information Information that we critical if I'm to argue against these Rednecks in the houses of Ireland. May I ask what does the plant do? It is a snooping device embedded inside of it are a complex series of listening and sending devices that will transmit encrypted data to Assets that we have in the area that information will be ferried across the system and delivered to me here Well, I'm very happy that we can serve you so directly and for such an important matter This is the most critical of matters.

We're facing an election We have only a few more weeks before votes will be cast and it is critical that someone that aligns themselves with us preferably me Is made prime minister in order to do that? I'm going to need a compelling case to toss aside all any challengers from the exos. That is why this mission is so important You seem worried Tassen is there a challenger who could beat you? I'm certainly not from the exos if that's what you're saying I am a realist and unfortunately many in the houses of Parliament blame the inner for their problems and Unfortunately, it is a compelling narrative But I think we learned during the Civil War that the exos are tired of war and conflict if we can remind them that those at the top They're wish to embroil themselves in another conflict.

Why I think we would win quite handily Is that what you're hoping to catch with this snooping device? Yes, Elena Elena that is what I'm hoping to catch quite honestly The station that I am sending you to is a hive of activity of the most notorious sort And I believe that any information gathered there would be useful Should we be worried about our arrival in such a station? I don't know if I feel comfortable sending my wife with me to such a dubious place Vasini I understand your concern, but I must admonish you that I don't make this choice lightly You two within the party are those who I can trust to get the job done So that is why you have been chosen you do us a great honor The honor is mine Vasini Must also inform you that this operation may require the use of lethal force There is a chance that the mission could be compromised in any way You were to do whatever it takes to plant this device there Even if it were to be for a moment any information gathered would be critical to our success Vasini looks over at Elena Well, I know that you're no stranger when it comes to lethal force to your husband if I must I must You're a war hero Vasini and Elena here She might be beautiful, but she can handle herself. That's why I love her.

She is dangerous as she is attractive That's why we make such a great pair indeed I have sources that believe that Individuals aboard Emerald Station are conspiring to create a network which of course would be illegal under the Hingsford decree It's been some time since anyone's attempted such a thing. Mm-hmm. I think last I can remember there was a doctor who fled and yes, yes, I remember the news reports sad man that was but they always are I Believe he was conspiring with the exos as well anyone foolish enough to Use a network to ignore the history shameful she should never forget this is why this is so critical Vasini if there's even even Rumors of a network being set up on Emerald Station one of the exokalinese why the Prolimentarians would have no choice but to cast aside any vote for an exo prime minister of course the constituents wouldn't allow for weakness That is so you understand the stakes that I think I do of course we do You must also know that this is being played very close to the chest only myself Badum Secretary Fus and deputy secretary of security chief Wilton know of this mission being carried out We will provide you transportation aboard a passenger ship that will not search your persons too closely Deputy security chief Wilton will also accompany you on this in case things get dicey, but again We've been chosen for a very specific reason. We understand good.

They are any other questions When's this mission begin? Well, my dear. This is happening tonight. I have tickets for you both to aboard the passenger liner Theina T05 departing in a few hours excellent the trip is about two weeks You will have plenty of time to get your affairs and order aboard the ship very well then Bless you both may Jesus Christ bless your travels and secure you safe passage amen amen amen And so we fade to black on hands being shook in the the this very fancy Venusian office the screen fades back in green text as it fades in says seven hours until the unveil aboard the theina so You're the three of you so you two and deputy officer Wilton Are in like basically a train cabin like a small room with two seats at face each other two bench seats of face each other Chief officer Wilton is got his arms crossed and he's leaned up sleeping against the side of the side of the room The reason you guys are up and about at this point is that there's only a few hours left until you get to the station So to make sure that you're alert and ready you are just sitting there buying time until you get to Emerald station Elana is sitting on the scene is lab cute Kind of gross.

Yeah, it's very gross I need both of you to make wisdom saves or wisdom checks for me Success so both of you at different points in the afternoon notice that Wilton has a bulge under his under his Overcoat and I think we see him turn in his chair a little bit and you see a holster and the gunmetal glint of a Weapon a sidearm secured it aside. Well darling. I'm glad they won't be checking us Yeah, are you worried at all that only one of us is armed? Well, if we could split up I trust you to be able to handle yourself.

Well, of course, but I would feel much better if I had a weapon. Oh, don't worry and the scene takes a pen knife out of his breast pocket and gives it to Alana Use this in case anyone messes with you and if you know, they don't mess with you Don't worry. It won't come to that. We'll be safe at the at your words.

It won't come to that the Overhead like speakers of the captain come on you hear the click of the microphone folks We are one hour from duck go ahead and begin securing your belongings remember priority passengers We will disembark first. Thank you and thank you for flying aboard the thing. Uh, I believe that's us priority passengers mm-hmm You see Wilton is still asleep in his up against the chair The scene he slaps his knee and says wake up Wilton time to go. Oh Now we arrive yet.

We've been one hour. Oh my god It is impossible to sleep in these bunks. I don't believe I've slept more than a few hours this whole trip Hopefully you'll get some good sleep about aboard the station. Well, I anticipate a good long nap for me And he he stands up and begins opening a a storage rack and pulls down a couple suitcases one for himself And then he begins pulling down your guys the suitcases with your clothes and personal effects Visine would you mind getting the Container the asset certainly So I've seen he heads over to a corner of the space where there is a box Yeah, there's like a big like those industrial grade foot lockers that have like the ridges for Added structural integrity.

You see there's a complicated Touch screen like interface on the top and there's like several small Smaller boxes that are attached to it that have like O2 meters. This thing looks to be like sealed airtight It's a it's a very complicated and expensive box. So do I like me? No, I'm out very very complicated and expensive box Jeri Coon story, so they called me in high school Jesus Nice that's what it's also Nice type do I want to keep this thing in the box.

What does this? Yeah, yeah, so sorry You want to keep the tree in the box until you can get it to where it's going to live. All right, so I checked the screen See, that's okay Yeah, you see oxygen levels are nominal that there's minimal amounts of vibration disturbance to the equipment looks good great. We're all set Wilson Wilson, excuse me Wilson.

Well, that's quite alright. I get mistaken for Wilson all the time. It's my volleyball size head Now that you pointed out the resemblance is uncanny. Yeah, we noticed for the first time he has a red handprint on his face The lights suddenly turn out and the red emergency lights turn on both of you.

Well all of you look confused and a Alarm a claxon alarm The captain comes back over The scene he rushes back over to where Elana is and like Pulls her down as he swings into the seats to buckle himself in everyone rolled dexterity for me You roll at advantage because Vassini came over to help you Conditional success and regular success. Okay, you take no damage. Okay, you take one HP of damage. I am into the The ship suddenly lurches so far to the left that all three of you and your luggage come slamming into the side the bulkhead of the ship you like Vassini absorbs most of the impacts for you Alana and You just feel like the impact of you hitting his chest more or less and Vassini your head whips back hard and cracks into a corner on the bulkhead you feel a sharp pain of Probably a concussion and the whole ship begins turning and tumbling and moving We zoom further back outside of the ship and we see a huge asteroid has just come into this shipping lane and is barely through Ship after ship throwing them aside Wilton Wilton what the hell just hit us.

Oh, yeah, it's killing me and us. Yeah, so there's there's no longer any gravity and Everything is just like floating in zero G and all you see are like the flash of red lights The box darling. Where's the box? Yeah, the scene floats over to the box checks it.

You see there is a In-02 warning like treated oxygen levels When I inspect the box to see if there's an oxygen leak. Yeah, there's a slight his coming from the seal of the box The computer terminal roll intelligence for me. I Sad fail Damn The box is screen is like cracked so you can't even get much information from the console Alana we're leaking. Oh to into the cabin.

What do we do? We have to stop the leak or hopefully we can fix it All right. Well, I should wrap it up in something put it inside of our luggage Wilton Do you have anything to repair the box? So you see Wilton's body is just floating in zero G and there's big red globules of blood like leaking out from the top of his head Jesus Christ dear God Wilton all right Darling put your back suit on I Start to put the vaccine on yep, I put mine on as well And then I want to see I want to take what would have been Wilton's back suit and take the hose from the supply pack and try to make a makeshift replacement for the box nice, so yeah, there's pretty obvious and they're like all mostly standard connections for ease of situations just like this and make a another intelligence roll for me that's successful yeah I did it cool.

So yeah, you're you're able to jam one of the fittings home and you hear that And the screen the cracked display goes from like this flashing red color to a green And you could barely make out in between like the spider webbing glass the words nominal. I think I did it Excellent darling. I knew you could do it. What do we do now?

Alana goes to Wilton and gets the gun off of his Side you find a very nice 45 caliber pistol that has a laser site be careful with that And this is your G the knockback could send you flying into the back wall I know how to handle myself of course you do We should find out whether the ship can travel Yes I'm the scene goes over to like a panel on the wall and tries to contact the captain Intelligence for me fail the panel is completely fucked. There's no working it We have no way of contacting them from here. We might have to travel through the ship Well, we can do that I'm worried that there might be damage elsewhere in the ship this compartment is fine. What if there's a breach?

Well, what a you go in and I'll wait here. No, I can never leave without you. I wouldn't want you to Barf well, it's it's a risk we need to take what do we do in here? Just waiting around the sooner we can plant this tree this way we can get home.

All right. I'll go with you we Open the door to the compartment and start to float towards the front of the ship. This is a big like Passenger liner so the thing is like just a long hallway with hundreds of these rooms on either side And you see a few of the rooms doors are open you see their shit just floating around not just literal shit But just debris and stuff floating around this corridor. There's a couple of stewardess I don't have a better way to say it stewardess and steward.

I that are floating around in zero g Unmoving lifeless a couple of them look to be like moving slowly There's a few other like passengers that are in Vax suits that are moving about on the other end of the The ship I don't see any terrible damage yet. Let's keep moving. So you guys are heading towards the pilot the captains of the bridge. Yes, yes so you approach the Sorry, it's okay.

You approach the The bridge there's a bulkhead an airlock that separates the bridge from the rest of the passenger's cabin and the door is shut And there's a panel next to the door that says caution vacuum Well, that's not good. Oh, it's not I wonder how far away we are from the station Based off of our travel time and when we were due to arrive What do I think well if you were an hour from like physically docking you were probably just in line So you were probably just like whatever, you know like a plane on the runway You're just getting ready to take your turn to taxi into the terminal So you could be you know, maybe a few hundred feet from port or you could be maybe a thousand feet from the port We should be in line for docking Our alibi was that we would not be checked on this ship if we must leave the ship and take the plant with us There's a better chance that we will be checked and stopped You're right. I didn't think about that But I really don't think this ship is going anywhere. I could try to get this door open It's likely a vacuum on the other side, but I might be able to get to the controls What happens if you don't?

then we're not going anywhere and That'll be that we have dedicated our lives to this Well, I'm I'm what am I supposed to do if if this doesn't work out? What do you mean? What is this? This is you go?

I'll be back. Don't worry. Give me the plant. It's yours.

So you hand over the big footlocker and zero G I didn't think I was holding it, but yeah, sure. Oh, maybe I grabbed it whatever. It's mine now. I'm holding it now It's mine now.

Yeah, yeah, yeah, you open the airlock. I'm just eating so the the the airlock Depressurizes and slides open and you see on the other side Just empty space the whole like bulkhead of the ship is just shredded apart like whatever came through here Just took the ship out at its nose. So no controls But you do see that the port for Emerald station is less than like maybe less than a thousand feet or so away It's like Conceivable that you could use like the small repulsor jets on your vac suit to get to the station All right, and you just see a cook like a I mean an Accountable amount of particles and debris in this like space just touchy-corp diapers. Yeah tons of shit And you see this asteroid has basically created this It's like a wake trail.

Yeah, I've just broken shit and it's now sitting on the other side of the station And you can see lights from the equivalent of space tugboats that have like gathered around it and with their jets on full thrust trying to decelerate this thing Okay, the scene he heads back through the bulkhead Speaks with Alana. We're close enough to the port. We could make it with our vac suits That sounds dangerous. Yes, it is.

But isn't that the fun? You're right Excuse me, and you hear it through like the speak well You've got speakers open so you can hear the sound but someone in a vac suit comes up to you and they look like in a civilian Model of a vac suit excuse me. Do you know what's happening? Do you know what's going on here?

I push that person away and yell remain here. There will be help Are you with the ship you tell the captain that this was not a part of the and before he can finish? I'm back through the bulkhead no time for that noise Damn you and you follow a lot of yeah, bring in that plant. Yep.

You got that gun. Yep. All right. I get that So here's what I plan to see like wraps around behind his wife and like embraces her as she's holding on to the box and As she's holding on to both hands with the box and he's holding on to her he then grabs the grabs the gun from her side and aims it positions himself pointing his back to the station and then Pushes off the ship into the void and then fires the 45 look at you fancy Roll dexterity at advantage cool because it's been really good for you so far.

Yeah successes So you launch yourself and we get this pulled back view of you turning and there's all this space die as you corporate space diapers and like mining equipment and Like extra vaxxers and stuff just floating and spinning and zero g and Eventually the the open maw of the port like comes before you and you you see that there are Dozens of people milling and working around this port that are like working in teams to move debris out and See there's like sparks of welders of fixing stuff Cool so yeah, I'm gonna use the jet stabilizers on my pack to slow us down and bring us into a good landing And then we're just going to blend in like we got to move this box and make our way into the station. Mm-hmm. Yeah You You make it into the port and the amount of activity there. No one pays you any mind.

It's just like You keep hearing that there was an asteroid making an emergence that had a distress beacon active That was that careen through here you hear whispers of people saying that This is probably the The Union heads that are pissed off People are using phrases like well the the governess has no fucking idea what she's doing People are immediately rushing to blame all kinds of external factors for what has happened and Exchange look with looks with Ilana and like remark on how you know It's because of a lack of strong leadership and this is exactly what happens when you don't have someone like tests and in charge Right the exos come in here and think they can just blow anything up Ridiculous how they think no regard for a proper queuing complete disorder. Yeah, it's just chaos you So now you're in the port. Where do you go? We're in so well?

We did it now? We find an abandoned apartment building and plant a tree should be simple enough They said that the they actually co-op should have some buildings available. I remember right it should be this way And I'll use my military mine to map our way out and get to the spot we would need to go to Excellent so roll Roll intelligence and you can reroll any fails cool. Well, I got a success.

So yeah, you you suck but sweet You you work your way through the meandering corridors I think for both of you having grown up in luxury the confinement of this and do you take your vac suits off? I guess describe you succeed and get to this place But can you narrate for me what this kind of walk and what this looks like sure? So we're back under artificial gravity now, right? So we touchdown and yeah, we're looking around We got that box is it heavy extremely heavy.

How are we moving this? We each like taking a side of it. Yeah, I'm from the back I think we like keep our vac suits on so that people don't see us or recognize us anything I mean, we're I mean, I don't think we're high up political people but we are involved in politics. I think I am You you were a navel you were an admiral.

I think in the HSU Navy. Oh, yeah, you killed a lot of Confederates. I'm 23 I'm 46. I'm cute.

I'm a slam peas So yeah, we're walking through town here carrying this box just in our suits Someone comes over to you and they're in a vac suit But the helmet is like attached to their hip there you have a like a red cross white patch on the side of their Their arm and they approach you with a medical scanner, but are you are you from the accident outside? No, we just arrived on another ship. What happened? Some diashe corp asteroid came barely through the shipping lane.

It's really bad You know, there's a lot of people out there that are running low on air listen Um if you're a new arrival, so they've set a triage point up over there. Oh, we're fine like we said We arrived on another ship. We know damage to us He looks at both of you Well, either way, they still need to like the Central office would be pissed if they didn't so you still need to get scanned in and you still need to pay for the dock so Triage is over there. We've already paid for the dock and really the triage isn't necessary And this point the scene he kind of squares up and uses his tall imposing stature to send the signal that like we're done talking to you now Roll up charisma for me at advantage Success Right, okay, but hurry other people need help Yeah, see he basically oh good an excuse for me to ignore you right and he walks around you and heads to the commotion of the he like steps one way and can't get around No, this isn't space.

This isn't spavory spavory Vassini you're so sexy when you lie to people Later he so yeah, he disappears into the crowd and you you you have Lee way to go to the Daiashi apartment sweet make our way there So these these are the apartments where those who are Working for Daiashi or a part of the indenture now this these would be people who voluntarily voluntarily work for Daiashi There's like a like yellow tape of like under construction down this bulkhead I mean you remember from the briefing. This is the general area of where they said to plant the device get it Here we are darling. Yes, this looks like a place. Oh, well, we should find a room Wonder if they have any reservations available You see there are several rooms that look to be in various states of construction a few of them have doors that are operational You have your pick of the litter.

Let's try and pick one of the finished room. So no one will be bothering it. Yes You are able to just use the default administrator password, which is one two three four five six Right in the door slides open and you see inside a room that is in a like half-finished state much of the Like steel plating that would cover and line the walls and the floors is missing Just exploring exposing conduit and cables that run feed various important life support shit all throughout the station Well, we found a good room. Do you think yes?

I think that this will last very long for our friend in the box Would you mind opening it and getting things set up? Yes, of course I Turn and Put the box on the ground and dropped my knees busted open and It shit. Oh, so you place the device down and opening the container an audible hiss of depressurization sounds The lid opens and inside is a small tree it appears to have been grown out of some Oddly shaped clay like object the object is a shard of something much bigger. It looks like Reminiscent of a shard of an ostrich egg.

It's like concave ish and it's just this somewhat triangular piece of a shell If the ostrich if the ostrich was about the size of a house you could kind of like infer from its curve of what it would Feed into the shell itself has small holes that are about the size of a quarter On the outside of it the openings of the on these holes are smooth and rounded. There are no sharp edges on it And then from this thing The brown and red roots of this tree grow out and form into a single column of a tree that grows into a that looks to be of a small Like two and a half three-foot-tall sapling We just leave it here Yes, those are the instructions. It has everything it needs to live it should begin operating on its own. I think we've done it the tree you see the Franz on a tree Change color and they go from like a healthy looking green to like a brown and they start to fall off of it Oh, no, I think you've broken it.

I didn't do anything I just took it out of the box I've seen he walks over and checks the the screen on the box see if there's anything wrong with the tree You just see Text through the like cracked display that just reads unveiling in progress and it has like a percentage meter Well Seems to be all right. I was holding the tree. I don't think either of us are who's closest to the tree probably you open it Yeah, probably me make a constitution say for me. Oh, oh, oh That's a conditional success great So So you are like watching the scene work at this thing when you feel a like You know when you have like a hair that like touches the side of your cheek or something that you can't see it just like Yeah, and you turn to see the tree.

Oh my god The roots have detached from the the shell itself and the tree is Suspended in zero G and its roots have grown and have attached themselves and coiled around the life support the various electronic cables underneath the exposed wiring and a couple of these roots are I shouldn't say a couple like a like the grudges hair amount of roots are like moving in the air and are moving towards you and you feel Them like touching the side of your head a lot of What is happening? Well get out of there We have to leave and if I see any like struggles and slips to get up and tries to like run toward her and to toward the door So both of you roll dexterity for me I use my physical prowess to move quickly. Yeah, you move quickly. I got a conditional success.

Great. I got a success. Excellent. So the The fronds like rip at your skin and they're like the jellyfish stickers, right?

Like as they touch you they like lock into place But you Alana they just attached to your back suit So you're actually able to if you want to escape discard your back suit and you can get out on scene Yep, the scene they have attached themselves to your face and so to get out you're gonna have to rip your face off is your conditional success. Okay A lot of my knife Yeah, and we just see you struggling with this this weird like red brown hair that is attaching to your face I'm even before he says that I'm reaching for the knife and coming at my dear husband's face with a knife I mean you're you're well-trained you can just do that and and free him from the the tendrils make a constitution save Our constitutional for me this evening. All right, this advantage Yeah, so you're able to free him. I Was not informed that this tree would try to rip my husband's face off bastard Let's get out of here This thing is growing at like an exponential rate and like these root hairs are Have gone from like a like a few dozen to an uncountable amount that are burrowing their way into the substructure of the ship Run and the fronds at the top of the tree are feeling their way out Run get off this disgusting station and that is we'll leave I think I want to save the cini and Alana's fate for episode five.

Whoa, so that was our little shorts Set up for episode five I was talking to charity about this in a little like VH one behind the music of like what I want to do with the campaign is I want to I like weirder stuff and I just felt like the campaign was too dry for me So I want to like totally do something weird. I want to get weird with it. So that's yeah, exactly what I want to do So that's what we're doing. I like getting weird.
