Hello everybody and welcome to episode 16 of Weird Adventures in Space, the SHU's premier sci-fi superhero real play podcast. My name is June, I Will Be Your GM. That means I'm in controller the game and yes, I have to admit this is a game. Our players are gonna be willing some dice and those guys are gonna influence the way the story goes.
But for you, the listener? Smooth sailing. Now before we get into the mess, I would like to go through and introduce my cast. First top of the pile, you know her well, her name is Jeezel.
Hello, I'm your Jeezel. I'm here to play a game for your entertainment. I hope that you're a nice person. I'm Logan, I'm playing Yamakita and I also hope that you're a nice person.
We sound like a cult. Hi, I'm Rob, I'm playing Sean and I too. I hope you're a nice person. God, the walls are melting.
I am Zach and I don't know what I'm gonna say. I'm trying to think of a goof and I can. Fuck. The bick killer.
Oh, I hope that if you are a bad person that you can hit by a car. Oh wow. Hi, I'm Bailey. I'm here to play the Lotus and I know you're a nice person.
Of course, we have to introduce our newest cast member. Why don't you give everybody a nice hello? Hi, I'm Mark and I will be joining the weirdos for the time being and I am an asshole, so apparently I'm not gonna get along with anyone here. And of course, if you're a bad girl I need to recap last episode because a whole bunch of stuff went down.
Our weirdos traveled all the way to Earth to investigate the cult, the Church of the Father, which has been spreading across the galaxy. We lost our intrepid leader Greg when it was discovered that his family had succumbed to the cult's machinations and needing to turn his back on the project that he spent so much time to build. Our team didn't have it any easier. By the time they ran to Earth with their new friend, Bonesnare, and Chek, they had found the worst of the worst.
A pile of cultists all worshiping a 10-foot tall sun god. And after she drank their blood and turned them all into a pillar skeletons, she looked at our crew and decided to go nuclear. That was last episode. This is episode 16.
The Grand Ossuary at the center of all things. Our episode begins in the cold cold deserts of Red Hills. Well, rather the cold cold deserts right outside Red Hills. They overlook this little colony nestled on the surface of Mars.
Known in the colony seems to notice what a small spacecraft burst through the orbit, puncturing the skyline, falling like a comet to the sandy shore. After the ship settles its contents, undamaged. The top of it opens up to reveal the pilot. The pilot's name is Zai, and they are, well, why don't you give me a description mark?
They appear to be a humanoid being who is wearing all white in like a Jedi type rip-up cloak type thing if you know what I'm talking about there. Yeah, yeah, yeah. They appear to be Asian American. And the only distinguishing difference between a normal human and them is that in with their head, it seems like there's like a ripple that keeps going back and forth throughout the head, like something's moving around.
So as you climb out of your spaceship side, you were seeing what is essentially a barren and cold desert. But right over that horizon, right over the skyline, looks like light, electricity. Something you haven't seen in a very long time. I'll grab a fanny pack that I'm gonna say I had, and I'll start heading that way.
Alright, you just kind of just trudging over the sand to see what's there, or are you doing it in particular? I'm curious about what I see over there and if it'll help me on my journey. Yeah, sure thing. By the time you get over the high-stew and a picture of about 30 minutes or so of climbing, didn't miss climbing on sand, by the way, it's still pretty miserable.
You get to the top of the dune and look down. What seems to be like a mid-sized colony, maybe the size of a mid-sized American city, appears to be in crisis. There are armed forces walking through the streets, smashing out lights, windows, buildings, buildings are being splattered with paint, people are being rounded up from their homes, and buildings torched on fire. Whatever you stumbled onto on on Mars isn't what you expected.
I'm intrigued, but I don't want to get involved at the moment. I'm gonna walk around but try to stay in between streets or in the way of anyone on either side and try to figure out what's going on here. Sure, can you make me a stealthy? Sure.
I got a negative one. As for the stealth check, you seem pretty stealthy. As you descend into the valley, you notice a strange sight in the sky. Several flying objects, looking sort of like a 12 pack of golden pop cans.
Hit the ground hard, hard enough to sink into the silica. A group of about 20 people in a golden robot march out. You see it happen once, far away from you. You see it happen again, close to you.
It seems like the sky is being filled with these cans. Does the robot look like something that I've seen before? It doesn't, actually. It's, it looks almost humanoid, so it doesn't look foreign or anything to you.
Like you can recognize it as that's pretty basic robot, but you don't know what it is. They're affiliated with, in fact, it's pretty strange to see robots on the side of the galaxy. Earth isn't that good at making them yet. I'm just gonna watch and experience because I don't, there's not a reason for me to get involved at the moment.
Sure, sure, sure. As you sit back and watch, you see that this group is calling themselves the purity, okay? It's hundreds and hundreds of people dressed in identical cloaks, the cloak being a sort of golden yellow. They're screening that the city needs to be purified and cleansed.
They're smashing out any electronic device that they walk near. They smash out windows. They destroy vehicles. You see them entering into people's homes and dragging them out into the street.
The farther you go, the harder it is to feel like you're safe. Like, you almost feel like you had a couple of quick scrapes. As soon as I see though, the people starting to be dragged from homes, I'm gonna intervene at that point. Okay, tell me what you'd like to do.
It's a pretty normal residential neighborhood. You're hiding behind a dumpster at a local restaurant. How many people are there dragging them out? In the streets, you bet about 400, like in the actual streets and the people involved are dragging people out of the house, maybe 10.
And one of those 10 is one of those large golden robots that you've seen. I'm gonna sneak in with the people actually. I'm gonna try to, I'm gonna try to try to sneak in and just go with the people who got dragged out. So I'm with them.
Gosh, I got you. Can you make me another self-care? Yep, that time I got a plus two. Plus two.
Okay. I'm gonna say that you were relatively successful and sneak in through the crowd. Are you basically trying to get apprehended or are you just following? I'll try to act the part of like, oh, don't take me from my home.
I'm all that type of stuff. But sure, sure, sure. Yeah, I'm gonna, I just want to be with these people to see what they're doing with them. If it's something that they really need help with or if like it's just a forceful people taking over a planet which has happened.
You sneak in the people who are running folks up find you in like the kitchen and it's the golden robot. He points a mace at you and says, are you a believer young man? I can't say that I am and I can definitely say that he's not. So no.
Okay, are you willing to learn? I'm always up for learning. There may be a future for you. Come with me young man.
Okay, I'll follow him for now, I guess. What was your name? You can call me Zai. Zai.
My name is Brother Eclipse. I represent the Church of the Father. Today's a big day for us and I'm really glad that you get the opportunity to share it with us too. I think you'll be excited by what's next.
As I hear that, my eye raises like a fuck you typeface but then I slap myself in the face. You go ahead and are marched out of the house to join the crowd. But you've seen that the crowd that you saw when you went in the house is not the same. It's the crowd you saw when you left.
They seem to have scattered into the yards into the side streets into the alleyway. Instead, there seems to be a rather nasty fight brewing in the middle of the street. There's a young woman who looks to be made of some sort of tree or moss or bark or something. Rainbow colored hair carrying a giant staff and she's mixing it up with an enormous white robot with a chest piece head.
It looks like a little castle and around him or several billiard balls with little legs floating around in the air attacking this woman. You can hear her screaming. She's beep. She's hurt.
She's surrounded by enemies and there's just a little voice in his eye. Just a tiny little voice that you hear back of your head saying, you know, I don't know what's going on there, but I know that's not a fair fight. I'll jump into the fight. Can I get any surprise attacks since they don't expect me or not?
Absolutely. You should just use like a white robot. I'm going to jump at the robot. I'm going to take a bite of its shoulder.
Okay, make me a, that's a fight roll, right? I got a plus six. A plus six. Okay, you jump on the guy's back like you're an annoyed cat, you know, taking an enormous bite out of his shoulder.
You chew through indestructible porcelain alloy, you chew through circuits, you chew through a billion different metals from outer space. And I gotta say the dude does not taste half bad, my man. You know, in terms of how robots usually taste, he takes an enormous wheel back when he's hit. He backs off a little bit looking at you going, the hell is this?
The tree woman looks over at you and gives you an ob. Sorry, this didn't seem fair. You taste pretty good. He looks at you and goes disgusting.
She, for her turn, pulls something out of one of her sachos and she blows a little pan whistle and out of the ground an enormous spire of plant matter fills up. It's budding, strange fruit, big red, purple, and green, like bell peppers. She looks over at you and goes, you're hungry. I'm always hungry, sure, I can eat.
And I'll start eating away if you want me to. Oh, no. As you're chewing, she says to you, this is the most acidic fruit in known in several different galaxies. It should eat through his outer armor pretty quickly.
Seems like you've got an iron mouth. Yeah. So once during this fight, you'll be able to use a spitting projectile attack for his turn. This robot, known as the press bitterion, spins his little cane in a big circle, summoning his little pool ball men back to him.
And then he rushes towards the plant woman, simp, and swings, but ends up with a terrible shot slamming the cane into the ground, whiffing. Real bad. And then it's back up to you. Can I exchange the shot for an added bonus onto another bite?
Oh, for sure. Okay. How much plus would I get for more acidic damage? Plus two.
Okay, that's why I just want to make sure I am going to exchange. So I get that plus two for this. Good thing I ate, which I'm going to extend two of my stockpile, which I have four currently of things that I've eaten. So that way I can use this for that.
Sorry, because I ate the acidic fruit. You said I'm going to use the properties of the exit fruit to also give me another plus two where it just makes my teeth author acidic, along with the other acidic stuff I have my mouth. So I get a plus four for this role using that son. And I'm so spending my stockpile for that.
Oh, I have a sample of four and it costs me two. So I'm back down to two. And I'm going to try to bite the guy's head plus nine. You basically bite his head off.
I mean, you don't swallow the whole thing or anything, but you take enough of a large chomp that he's no longer going to the stockpile back as well. Okay. This strange man who appeared from the desert out of nowhere rips the robots head off and swallows it after chewing it thoroughly. Back on Earth, our team, the Union of Heroes, was facing one on one with an evil 4G and a miniature son named Skellamistris and her cultists.
Unfortunately, it seems like they hit her one too many times. So while her cultists lay dying or ash, she is threatening to supernova on the surface of the Earth, obviously causing some problems. I'm going to give each member of the team one turn to figure out what to do before you were annihilated by nuclear fire. I'm going to try to make a light shield around her to try to hold back as much of that radiation as I can.
Sure. Can you go ahead and make me a will roll? That is a plus five. You do successfully make a light shield for your prep.
I want to use Astro Body to pull her into a dimension. Go ahead and make me a will roll. Plus six. Sure, the nine.
You feel the pull and as soon as you get close to her astral self, your entire soul feels polluted? Yeah, she's gross. I am going to try to convert her bubbles air to iodine. I add.
Can you make me a will roll so that you can remember the chemical composition of iodine? Three? Yeah, you remember iodine pretty well. Come on.
You douse her and fill up her little bubble shield with iodine. I ran in a popular science magazine that I can help with radiation. They also have a lot of monkeys in that issue. They're cool.
Can I use my magic to oaster looks this shield further? Absolutely. Do you want to make a will roll so just see how much air? That is a plus full.
Okay, that's going to be a plus two to the testing rolls that I make when she explodes. Can I roll to see if I have anything on the ship that could be used to capture her? Make me a will roll. Plus two.
You know that Bonsetard keeps anti-forging shielding on his ship because he goes crazy so often. Is that something I can fire at her? It's more of a barrier around your ship. Oh shit.
Bonsetard will run into the ship for his turn. Just not telling you what he's doing whatsoever. Then she blows and not just once. She explodes with every footstep.
She slowly pulls herself off the ground, putting her skeleton body back together. The bubble manages to contain the first supernova. It cracks at the edges. And every footstep she takes she tries an additional supernova.
Your shield is holding up and she takes five to ten steps into the pile of corpses and starts digging. The key to this is going to radio to everybody. Hey, the ship is made of anti-forging metal. If we can either get her on or get everybody else on.
I think our best bet is to get her on and crash the ship. I know you like. Kerry right after you say that you get hit in the face with a spacesuit. Bonsetard's throwing him out the door of the carcass saying just put these on.
You'll be safe. Okay. I listened. Yeah.
I'm putting it on. Yeah. Bonsetard, what are these for? They're to prevent you from dying of radiation poisoning.
Okay, but like we still need to get her out of here because if she leaks radiation into the atmosphere, the whole planet can die. I like to need the radiation. Don't worry about that. We just need to figure out why she's here in the first place.
Skeletonus just dinks through the piles of bones and corpses looking for something. And when she finally uncovers it, she pulls it from the darkness and holds it into the light. It looks like a nun's habit. A really familiar earth headpiece given strange new alien dimensions.
She places it upon top of her head and says, Father was right. You did amount to something. I'm so proud of you disgusting little piglets. And with this vestment, I ascend to a higher stage.
I am now a faith and declare myself to be sister mistress, the right red hands of the father. Sync-ticity. And then blasts off into the sky, the speed of light. Bonsetard looks back at the group and says, You stay here.
I'll go out and eat the radiation very quick. Okay, just gonna look at the tracker that they were using to track her and see where she's going. If she's just like leaving the solar system or going to Mars or something. So go ahead and make me a researcher's only.
Plus one. I'm gonna say that she has already left Earth's orbit and she is a good 100 miles away. Like any direction on that or? I'm heading towards Mars.
Fun. That sounds like a bad idea. We should, uh, prep. There's no beacon still on Mars, right?
We should radio beacon and try to get him on top of that. Radio beacon since. Yeah. Alright.
I try something. Sure. I made a portal with the staff a long time ago. I don't want to know if I can try and make a portal.
Uh, go ahead and make me a will roll. Is another six. While you're in the process of crafting your portal, you can hear bone stars say, Oh my god, she smells so fucking bad. Eventually you'll see the radiation tick down to nothing.
As the portal opens up, bone star walks over and goes, Well, next step is taking my ass to the grocery store. Who's driving? We got to go to Mars. She's heading towards Mars.
Yeah, I know. I know where she's going. I know they're gonna burn Earth. They're gonna burn Mars.
That's what they do. Okay, we need to stop that from happening. Who's the leader of this group? You know who the leader is.
Everyone turns to shawl. Yes. He walks over to Wayfarer. You're the Wayfarer?
Yeah. I'm gonna need you to trust me. If you don't want all the earthlings to die and I gotta promise I'm not gonna make that easy on you. Mm, sounds about right.
So I'm begging you, please take me to a grocery store. We're going to Wawa. Alright, so y'all jump into the carcass and fly off to the nearest grocery store. Snack around, I guess.
That's because I do. We all have to go to the grocery store, just bone star because there's a portal. Yeah. Go to Mars.
He recommended that you not yet. Alright. Mm. He said it's very dangerous unless we have proper precautions to take them out.
Can I grab the portal with my hand to grab the worm with this? I worked hard for this. We're not getting ready. Make me do another roll?
Alright. You can't shrink it, but you can't absorb it into your tattoos. No, nice. And so it's prepped when you need it.
That sounds cool. Is it big enough to fit the carcass through? No, it's only a person-sized portal. I'd make him roll a lot harder otherwise.
Back on Mars. Xi and Synth are squaring down with the Presbyterian. Or rather they were until Xi ate the Presbyterian's robot head. Pretty dope, I gotta say.
Synth, the son and day witch looking across from you, goes, hey, are we done? Are you gonna be okay? That was a lot ahead. I'm fine.
I can digest it. It'll go through. I have no idea if we're done. I don't know what's going on.
I'm kind of new here. So maybe you could tell me, are we done? Oh, bad timing. Bad timing for a vacation.
Here, take my hand. She reaches her hand up too. Okay, I'll grab her hand. She swings a grappling hook up towards the sky.
And it goes almost a little bit past the clouds. And you can feel it latch to something. And she looks at you and goes, hold tight. And you both fly off into the air.
She waves down to the crowd and says, later losers. And you can see what you get higher up. The grappling hook has been tied to the back of a sky whale. She's doing some quick sky whale extraction.
And she pulls you up so that you're both sitting on the back of one looking down in the colony. She says, this is a mess. We've been overrun by a cult and her normal team is not on planet. I'm so sorry you go cut in the middle of this.
It happens. Sometimes you go to a planet, sometimes you get caught in a cult mess. It's a mature way to look at it, I guess. You can call me Xi.
Xi. It's nice to meet you Xi. My name is But I go by my superhero name, Sint. Because it's cool.
That's like a thing on Earth and Mars. Learning it. I was gonna say, what's a superhero? Yeah, it's like, if you have, if you can do incredible things, like you ate that guy's head, that was pretty incredible.
Then you do those incredible things to help people. That's what a superhero is. Sounds interesting. I mean, you just tell me.
I did. But it's kind of because it's right. I mean, I don't know if I was gonna be that Kylo. It kind of look like you were in a bad situation.
And taking out one robot is different. Like, if I could, I would try to help these people as well. But this is a lot. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
It's a lot, a lot, and unfortunately, a lot of those people need help that we can't give them right now. She opens up her little phone and starts popping out and goes, none of the damn communication relays are working. The cult must have knocked them out. I don't know where the rest of my team is.
But if we try to find them, you and I and the rest of us could probably get somewhere safe. So she said communications are down. I'm going to use my son. Hey, eat this.
And I'm going to pop up out of my mouth. A giant hunk of like, looks like a football, but it's made of like tons of goo and robot parts and things like that. And I'm gonna be like, if communications are down, eat this. Trust me, we'll be able to see communication.
She goes, okay, sounds good. It takes a big bite of it and goes, Oh my god, metal out. Oh, the head digest is part is in there. So it'll help her take it in.
Okay, yeah, yeah, yeah. I'm going to communicate through her then. So remind me like, all right, for 24 hours now, we can talk like this. Cool.
You have a stomach brain? Yeah, until you actually digest this really, we're in communication. So if you can set up right in find your team, or I do, we can let each other know perfect. I mean, right on the same thing, I guess she hands you over a little communicator that fits in your ear.
She goes all of the safety officers here on Red Hills carry these around. So we'll always get in touch with us if you need us this way. Well, it's a communication throughout. Yeah, communication starts.
That's true. Right now, we are shit out of luck. You can see that these drop ships keep hitting the soil. They're falling from the sky and she goes, they must be shooting them off in the moon or something.
It's the only thing that makes sense. Every time one of those little cans falls down, it's a 25 cultists and robot and our city just needs that big. But you know what we could do? We could look out for pillars.
She goes, can you help me look? Do you not have a fine see a pillar when I was walking here? You did see one pillar when you were walking here. Yeah, while I was coming from, I'll try to figure out my direction, like North, South, East, or West.
I was coming from that way. I came across the pillar when I was sneaking around. Yes. Can you take me as best as I can?
I'm new to the area. I don't know the landmarks, anything like that, but I'll try. That's okay. I think I can direct our good friend to the whale here where we need to go.
And you slowly go across the city. You can tell the city is kind of then built hodgepodge over time, you know, kind of complicated streets and lots of different communities, lots of different type of buildings. It looks alive and vibrant, or at least it did. By the time you get over to the part of the city you entered from the desert, that bone pillar is now dripping a sort of golden magical energy onto the ground.
And she's looking down from the whale going, I'm assuming that's when you saw? Yeah, it wasn't doing that before, but yeah, that's the one I saw. Okay, I guess I'm going to approach with caution and you don't have to come with it. Please keep yourself safe if you need to.
I got nothing to do. I'm kind of just, I'm here, so why not? Fair enough. She hands you the grappling hook line.
Let's go. All right. I'll hold on and try to get go down with her. You go down and basically you see the same thing earlier, one of those pillars.
It's made of a bunch of different disconnected bones, human bones, alien bones, nothing too consistent. Go ahead and make me a perception roll. I got a even zero. I'm even zero.
You can hear breathing from within the pillar? Like the pillars breathing or there's something inside of it. Like there might be something inside of it. I know I'm a one trick pony, but it's really the only thing I can do.
I'm going to try to start eating at the pillar. Okay, make me a fizzy girl just for the endurance. I got a plus two for my fizzy girl. You chew through the bone pillar perfectly all right and inside it you find a older African-American man dressed in a dirty helmet and a white suit.
He's glowing a golden energy and when you bite enough of the pillar away, he slumps to the ground. Okay. Oh, since the woman you're with goes, oh my god, it's Lonnie. It's a beacon.
That's one of the guys I was looking for. Okay. Well, what is your team in the beacons on you think? Well, no, I don't know where they are.
This is new to us. She looks down and goes, I wish I wish the beacon here could tell us as soon as she says that. He catches us wherewithal and looks at you and goes, oh, wow, things are really not good here, folks. Who's this strapping young man?
He puts his hand out to greet you. I don't put my head out like, oh hi, I'm sorry. Oh, legendary me, she's hi. My name is the beacon, the premier superhero here on Red Hills, or at least I was until there was called Distantooned to me.
She went down real bad here a couple hours ago and they've disconnected us. I think our best route is going to be to try to cut off those drop ships on the moon, but I don't have a way up there. I have a ship, but I guess I could try to fly you guys if you want. Yeah, I mean, it's an option.
You know, it might be the only chance we have. Let's go for it. Where's your ship crashed? That way.
That's the way we've been going. He follows you into the desert and he looks at it and he goes, do you know anything about this technology? Give me a sec and I can repair it. You're giving me a very good time over to use my son.
So I'm going to use your neck. Okay. And I'm going to expend all my stockpile. So I'm down to zero to throw up on the machine and it's coming to start healing itself and repairing itself.
You vomit up this giant ball of what robot and metal parts and they slowly unfurl into the machine almost as if they're animated, healing themselves, putting the machine back together. It looks like even the upholstery is brand new by the time of the thing is done. Both synth and the beacon look at you like, what the hell? I'm kind of a healer in that sense.
I can't really do much now. That takes a lot out of me. Well, I don't mind taking point here. The beacon says, why don't we all just try to cram in here and, you know, this ain't my first room.
You probably forgot this thing. You need a chance to rest. Sure. I've been flying for a while.
And since this, do you need more food? I want more food. Yes. Okay.
She makes a roll and several large mushrooms grow out of the ground. Oh, I get nothing from it. I rolled bad. Okay.
At least you get full stomach now. You go ahead and fly up towards one of Mars's two moons. Other team, BoneStar has beg to take him to a grocery store and it seems like Wayfair is trusting him. Once you pull up the BoneStar looks at you, Wayfair and goes, I'm going to need about like five grand.
Do we look like we have money? We're from the union. Don't, aren't they funded by like a billionaire? I met Jean.
I know she's got money. Your dad runs those, right? Oh, we had a tab. Just put it on the tab.
He goes, I mean, I'll steal him otherwise. I don't really care. Okay. I won't give him my credit card.
Yeah, I can put flashes in front of all the security cameras. No, no, no, no. I'm on earth. Some of the two things are right way, especially around Mr.
Superhero over here. He points that Wayfair. He walks into the grocery store and caffling his head off. He's wearing his cowboy chaps and his leather jacket.
He has a floating cow skull with a sun nestled inside of it. So he's quite a sight. And he comes walking out of the grocery store about five minutes later with four carts full of root beer. And he goes, this is all I need.
I promise. All I needed. I'm so fascinated. All right.
Put him on the ship. Let's go. He goes, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, I need a sec. Do you need to drink it?
Or can we just throw them into you because I desperately want to test a theory? Oh, go ahead and throw a thing. I mean, freakin bottle is always fun. Ah, yes.
I set them up like pack it, so you're throwing them out and throwing bottles out. Yes. Okay. He's hasting on a grand old time.
He's throwing bottles at himself. Every time he hits the skull, the plasmic energy within his sun burns it and mists it away into smoke. This is really cool. Can you do this with anything or just like organic material?
I can do it with everything. Just not always a good thing. I'm going to take you to a place called Virginia when this is done and we're gonna go to Mount Trashmore and I'm just gonna let you go crazy. I grew up in Virginia.
After he's done with all the root beer, he goes up to Wayfair and says, Elf Adam is a pleasure to meet you. I'm Bone Star's more intellectual now. The drugs are in the sasparilla really affect you, his mouth is numb and I appreciate you trusting. Gets out.
He hands you back the credit card and then he says, let me take you over here. He leads over to a closet wayfare. Okay. And he roots around and he gives you a giant box and he goes, this should more than cover it.
I will peer inside the box. It's filled with gold doubloons? It's fucking weird. Ow.
He goes, I picked those up on one of my visits here at the couple hundred years back. It's always wild. Gotcha. What you need to know is that I'm a forte and that means that any sort of chemical introduced in my body changes the way I think it feels.
For the next three hours you've got intelligent Bone Star and then I go away and come back later to clean up his problems. I'm here to help and I appreciate your trust. Okay, let's go do this. Yeah, let's go.
This whole time, Akita's just been standing there like stupefied just looking at bone star like, what in the hell is this? He walks over to Akita and goes, Akita, my oldest friend is a pleasure. Sorry you've never got to meet this out of me. It's a pleasure?
Can I know I like her so much. This one place I get to feel comfortable. I'm glad you're here. He looks at Shama.
I'm glad you're here. I'm glad to meet everybody. Let's go kick my sister's ass. Oh yeah.
Do we want to forceful two Mars or are we shipping two Mars? Otherwise find on me. Some of them want to take the portal and we can take the carcass. I worked really hard on that portal.
I'll go through with her. Could I theoretically store other smells in my tattoos? Only one at a time. Only one at a time, but yes.
I have two arms though. I'm just a lot of tattoos face. Well, no, I don't have one arm that's accurate. You hold it in your heart like right in the chest.
So unless you start growing extra sex foods, I don't know if that's gonna happen. Two spells loss. In my experience it doesn't work that way. What about you, wafer?
I guess I'll go with bone star one and know from all about what's going on. Sounds good. Anyone else going on the carcass? IKEA, obviously.
Oh, he does go there. In that case, I will let the folks who go through the portal go through the portal and we will stay with the people in the ship. Bone star is lifting off and making preparations towards flight. He is firmly in the driver's seat and has got his favorite jukebox plane.
He tells wafer or kita to sit down in the seats next to him and says, you can fight in these sense of bitches for thousands of years. Ask me any questions you need. How do we get rid of them? Which I knew.
Four Danes are very hard to kill. We can be captured, but even then, we've usually done last long in the volatility that we included in that. It's just too much. This is a jade.
This point is bigger than most planets. I got two questions. Could we send them to the dimension that Sean and I pulled you out of? And if we did, how long would they be stuck there?
Part time fit in the big guy in, but I bet my sister would fit just fine. Wait, if anyone knows how to kill my sister, it's me. I've tried like a billion ways. They do this to planets, you know.
They just seek them out, make little beacons so that the sister can find them and consume them whole. Beacons? That's what those bone pillars are. Oh shit.
He needs them to navigate his way to your location. Every pillar up is one more point in the orbital network. So I guess we could start kicking out over pillars now that I think about it. It would slow him down.
Yeah, that's also a good idea. As long as you haven't seen pillars on Mars too, if he has an interplanetary network up, we're just fucked. Yeah, there's pillars on Mars. Yeah.
Nice knowing you, gentlemen. I got one idea, but it's crazy and we all could die. I'm getting, he looks at Wayfair, you? Yeah.
Yeah. Is that a yeah? Okay, I've almost died so many times. I don't know, whatever.
I thought a literal got a death, so. You've been busy, man. Yeah, little. Wayfair?
Yep. Do you have any experience pilot in this ship? Yep. You have any experience doing light jumps?
Kind of. Let me set a course. And he goes back into his room and do his navigators chambers. Although on the way there, he does present you with brand new super suits that his AI has stitched for you that are made with anti-forgium properties.
Huh. Bone stars by the time you get there, I should have went for your whole team. He just kind of disappears into the back and leaves you two alone to talk. Well, this is going to be a pain in the ass.
What is he like normally? When he's not all gagged out and rip you? Well, normally he's gagged out on other things, but a pretty friendly dude likes to eat and drink anything. Okay.
Big fat, pretty boy. Yeah. Loves his cowboy stuff. Weird, but okay.
You do recognize he's got a good record collection in his troop box, so far. How many are town-counery? He doesn't have it. Or it's less.
I'm gonna say the rest of you hop through the portal on Mars. You land just outside of town. You can see that the town is burning quite literally, but you're not in immediate danger. I'm gonna look at our look.
I have to find my sister. I'll meet back with you at Dudad's lab. Yeah, and I'll stick with all of you. Carrie, you run off to go see your sister.
Are you trying to get there stealthily? There are crowds and crowds and crowds. Call this. I have crystal wings still.
I'm flying. Make me a stealth roll. Plus two. That is enough to be able to dart in between the clouds and everything, so you're not really spotted.
You do eventually get to your home, and it looks like it's already been hit. The windows are smashed out, the doors have been kicked on. I'm just looking for Woden and Catherine straight into the house, just searching screaming for her, like, trying to find her. Living room is empty.
Kitchen's empty. Go ahead and make me a notice roll. Oh, that's a plus four. You can hear a voice calling to you.
Just, hey, Carrie, please, please. Something really soft though. Immediately like looking wherever. Where are you?
Where are you? You find a little tennis ball size dot of shadow on the side of the staircase. Oh, thank God. And you can hear her say, please, please, give me your hand.
I immediately reach for it. You grab her and you pull Catherine out of the shadowverse with Woden and by her side. Oh, thank God. She's like, I just talked in as soon as they came in.
Are you okay? We're good. We're good. Just shaking up.
I just also seems like the safe place to be right now. The town is going to shit. My team and I just got back. We are trying to do as much as we can.
I absolutely fucking hate to ask you to do this, but we need as much help as we can. Is there anything you can do to help us? Well, I won't fight it, but I can try to help. Anything that you can do if you can help move like survivors to your shadow world where they can be safe.
Where's the rest of your team? Arlu and Sean went to do Dad's lab. The boys are on their way back in the ship. Okay.
I don't know where Beacon or Synth are at this point. She goes, I can at least bring you over to the lab so you can meet the rest of your team. Please stay safe. I'm doing what I can.
Every second I spend in that place, it just reminds me of old times, I guess. I know, honey, and I wouldn't ask you to do this if there was any I'm happy to do it. I'm glad to use it for something good for once. You have always used your powers for good and I'm just gonna hug her again.
She hugs you too and she pulls you through the portal. Two, Zai! Zai, you and your ship just took off right before the portal got there. You and the beacon and Synth are there, piloting the ship towards Phobos, one of the moons.
Once you get closer, you can see that the moon is largely occupied by an enormous moon-spanning golden casino. The beacon says to you, I think this is where they're shooting them from, but I don't know where. Should we try to surface her? What's the best blue cane plan here?
Hey, I just came into this, okay? I have no idea what's going on, I just had to help you guys. Point me out, something you want me to bite. Okay, we can do that.
And the beacon directs your spaceship right into the surface of the planet. The entirety of Gampel Dropless 2, the Golden Casino, is completely empty. After waiting there for a few minutes, you see that the pods seem to have been shot by some sort of like cannon that's recessed deep into the ground and you manage to make your way over there after a few minutes. When you look down, it kind of looks like a rocket launch silo, a square box that goes a couple miles into the earth into a impenetrable darkness.
And the beacon says, this would not be too big for you to eat, my friend. He has a look on his face like, I could probably do this, but how full would I get? The beacon shoots a blast of light into the well so that you can look down into it and he says, it looks like it's just a channel for the cannon itself. If he stayed up the sides, it should be safe.
Then I say, let's jump into the abyss. Begin and synth float down? How do you get down there? Do just jump?
I'm going to ask, since if you can give me a line or like she did before. Yeah, for sure, she's got you back. When you get down here, you can see that the cannon shooting has been an automated process. There's no one even operating it.
There's just lines and lines and lines of these cans within this network facility. They're all filled with cultists. They'll fill the robots all being shot directly at Mars. The beacon says, like the computer?
I don't think I can think of a store the computer. I guess yeah, I'll start eating away at the computer as best I can. I'm making a fizzy girl this is a kid. I got a plus one from my physique.
You know, this is kind of a it's a rare flavor on your palate. It'll taste as if it's holy in there a little bit of holy magic. You got a little magic in your belly right now. Feels good.
Feels warm. When this happens, you can see the facilities lights shut down. The lights on Gampel drop also shut down. Seems like you ate a mainframe server and you can tell that the cannon is no longer in operation.
