Special Agent Will Trent, Juju Beer

0:02

Investigation. ABC's hit series Will Trent

0:05

is back. He read that crime scene

0:07

like it was a book. Tuesday's at its

0:09

new time, 8-7 Central. I bet I

0:11

can solve this tonight. Critics are calling

0:13

it an entertaining, powerful, heart-racing drama. There's

0:15

a bomb in this building. Clear this

0:17

entire block. Will Trent has

0:19

joined the list of greatest TV detectives. He's

0:22

good police and he's objectively hot. Will

0:25

Trent, new Tuesday's 8-7 Central on

0:27

ABC and stream on Hulu. It's

0:30

all getting cut. Allie,

0:37

this is where you cut. Keep

0:40

it in. Allie? Allie?

0:43

No. There's a lot of dead air in

0:45

there. Keep it in. Every

0:49

note of our voice. No.

0:52

The longer this bit goes on, the closer it gets

0:54

to being a cold open. I can't have that. Keep

0:56

it in. Keep it in. My gosh. There

1:28

is... Giggle's max draft.

1:32

Real answer. Stop

1:34

it. I

1:36

don't know. Nobody

1:39

does. Whatever

1:43

this plan is, it has been going on

1:45

for a very long time. There are many

1:47

places mentioned. Again, Shank Hill, one

1:50

of them. We

1:55

saw what happened in Shank Hill,

1:58

or at least the results of it. it, no

2:01

one was left. What

2:04

if there's just

2:06

one murder? And

2:11

it's a murder of someone who

2:13

deserves a murder, and we

2:15

use that to draw out the

2:17

cleaver. Okay. And

2:20

then Gable, I don't know if this is

2:23

in your bag. Jeff and I were talking about

2:25

it earlier. Can you, can you,

2:27

can you, and John

2:29

has just like, claps his hand, like, you know, can

2:31

you, can you, the cleaver back into the book? Squish

2:33

it into the book? Yeah, do it. Well, it depends

2:35

where the cleaver is. It would be hard to close

2:37

if it's up. Oh, fuck him up a little bit.

2:40

You know it. Oh, okay. I

2:42

could fight a knife. I feel as if that

2:45

is the thing. I can build

2:47

this. You do know something

2:49

considerably larger than the knife to fight

2:51

with. So maybe you have this. I have this.

2:54

I have this advantage at the very least. The

2:56

captain smiles despite himself.

2:58

Okay. So as

3:00

it happens, the dinner

3:03

that we were carried away with for

3:06

such a long time, sorry to keep

3:08

you waiting, John, at Kessler, was fruitful

3:10

in the fact that Edith Truss was,

3:13

and I managed to have her interested

3:15

in a conversation, a personal conversation. She

3:19

found a way to continue to climb

3:21

the ladder in what she saw of

3:23

me, or at least the me that

3:25

I portrayed in that space. And

3:28

that might be an instance where we have her

3:31

alone making the job easier.

3:33

And so we're going to go after Truss? I

3:37

think we should sleep on this. I think we

3:39

should sleep on the idea of the murder.

3:43

Something must be done. And

3:45

we can have further discussions amongst the

3:48

crew as to the things to be done.

3:50

Of course. I know there are two of

3:52

us here, and one of us

3:54

feels pretty pro-murder. But

3:58

As a victim of

4:01

murder, my son. though

4:03

I think that maybe

4:05

allegedly mean maybe we

4:07

should investigate non murder

4:10

again with the God

4:12

of murder spooking about

4:14

Okay to just eat

4:17

seals. And. Ill formed

4:19

idea that one for one against.

4:22

Real Haunted. Real haunted

4:24

right now are undecided

4:27

over here. Doubted our

4:29

your murder. I.

4:32

I I I'm I'm feeling a little

4:34

I'm feeling a little at of were

4:37

that I brought the cleaver out I

4:39

left I let the cleaver go and

4:41

I'm really it's in a get it

4:43

back and. It feels like

4:46

we roll up to places where people could be like

4:48

he had. To. The. Awful

4:51

bull. You. Know that to demonize

4:53

so hard on yourself. John A Tesla

4:55

Ultimately, I have the person abroad that

4:57

cleaver a boards of those who were.

5:00

Hey. Thanks. Thanks. Captain A,

5:02

It's both of our fault. And.

5:05

Points. John it is

5:08

your. The way that you feel

5:10

bad about. Opening up the cleaver

5:12

to. The general population and do

5:14

feel in your mind is it's

5:16

the solution to that Being murdered.

5:18

Could that also be because of

5:21

the nice as well? The knife

5:23

is making that solution seem bigger.

5:25

And better tio because of the

5:27

nice in love with oh live

5:29

suffer if audible the know I

5:31

was actually likes his arabs or

5:33

with out of game we're gonna

5:35

move the story forward in a

5:37

second. My womb worth How does

5:39

john it check if he being

5:41

influenced currently by the butcher the

5:43

cleaver. Oh there's. Got

5:46

to be. Oh okay.

5:49

okay. folks. There

5:51

is a test for this. It

5:53

is a ritual where you take

5:55

a deck of luminaries as you

5:58

take a bowl or white. Oh,

6:00

and you spread out the

6:02

deck of luminaries in a

6:04

ring around the ball and.

6:07

You. Then prick yourself and drop

6:09

a drop of blood into the

6:11

center of the ball and

6:13

your blood will slow to whatever

6:16

luminary you are closest to being

6:18

in the thrall of. Oh

6:20

cool, yes, I think it's

6:22

new quests. How they were a

6:25

faggot I get out of

6:27

Gapes didn't just come up with

6:29

their best that fun. Or

6:33

at ya doin. I

6:35

guess. This. Is I think at

6:37

this point John it is like are

6:39

at wool. We probably do need to

6:41

like pump a little bit of brakes

6:43

on this. Let's take five with gather

6:45

ourselves. I'm at a prick my finger

6:47

going to see which one I'm currently

6:49

being possessed by and will will join

6:51

up in them and the morning. And

6:53

so I think John it finds his

6:56

way to like of just like I

6:58

had. A storage crates. The pride

7:00

feel like he can't be in the

7:02

captain's quarters so are people are resting.

7:04

He does this ritual just to see

7:06

like where his head. That and if

7:08

is being influenced. ten ten I request

7:10

that we do it then and there

7:12

in the captain's quarters. That for me

7:15

yeah I say. I think unless unless

7:17

you specifically do not want Aremeyaw to

7:19

see. Know this

7:21

is the best bet. makes the most

7:23

sense. he starts to like go walk

7:25

down the hallway to set things up

7:27

and and maybe. Like or mind Calif tap

7:30

simulate air will do it here with the a

7:32

right will do here. he lays it out on

7:34

the on the table and and. Pricks,

7:36

His fingers. Or it's

7:38

oh. So.

7:41

i think like it takes

7:44

a moment you can see

7:46

the blood kind of like

7:48

swirling in the water and

7:50

like normally it would just

7:52

kind of disperse itself but

7:54

it stays mostly collected in

7:56

like a little cloud as

7:58

it were and sort of

8:00

lazily drift and

8:04

it ends up in a spot

8:06

that is between the butcher and

8:08

the island. The

8:12

two worst luminaries

8:16

that are in the deck,

8:18

really. Is

8:26

it like when all is

8:28

said and done and like the, in

8:32

my head it's like a COVID test,

8:34

like when both lines have shown up

8:36

15 minutes later, is it like

8:38

a straight line? I think

8:40

this is a very faint line. I feel

8:43

like the degree to which it would be,

8:45

if it was like right up on the

8:47

edge of the dish, that

8:49

would be like, oh, heavy thrall,

8:51

like heavy evidence that somebody is

8:53

being influenced by a luminary. I

8:55

think what this would indicate is

8:58

these two luminaries are, have

9:02

either recently touched or

9:04

have an interest in

9:06

you more

9:09

so than like you are

9:11

under their current influence. All

9:13

right, well then what's the, what

9:16

are the attributes of the island

9:18

more time? Okay, so the island

9:20

imprisonment doom, the cursed

9:22

sea. This is the

9:25

luminary that is most

9:27

deeply connected to the mariner. Okay.

9:31

That looks like it

9:33

sucks. Yeah. Yeah.

9:36

Yeah. I'm picking that up. I'm picking

9:38

that up, Gable. Maybe

9:40

we should all invest in the

9:43

lumen of snoozing,

9:46

some Z's. Maybe

9:49

that'll, whoever that may be.

9:52

And then we can come back

9:54

to this. I need to

9:56

check on Angelo. Feel bad. But

9:59

I have. done that. A reasonable

10:02

suggestion, Gable. How about

10:04

the two of you go and get some

10:06

rest? I have some, he glances around the

10:08

room tidying to do before I retire. Gable

10:14

acknowledges this and then looks at

10:18

your hummingbird mentality

10:21

and the dish of fruit that

10:23

it feeds on and just

10:26

sort of like kind of reaches for

10:28

an orange slice,

10:30

making direct eye contact with you to see

10:33

if it's okay. I

10:36

suppose you'd want more permission

10:39

from principality than myself. Although, please do go

10:41

to the kitchens and get yourself something to

10:43

eat before you go to bed. We

10:45

have snacks. Gable looks at the bird.

10:50

I feel like the bird glares back. Okay,

10:53

okay. Fine. I'll go get a snack.

10:57

And John it kind of follows out back

10:59

to his quarters like, I don't know if I'm

11:01

going to be able to sleep, but I'm

11:03

going to try to sleep. I'm going

11:05

to try. You'll hate that. That

11:08

doesn't mean anything that we didn't

11:10

already know about us. If

11:15

you are to think of it,

11:18

John, it was

11:20

not that long ago when you

11:22

were in du menion and faced

11:25

the mariner in a vision. You

11:27

might have severed a direct connection

11:29

to the mariner in that

11:31

conflict, but you have recently

11:34

touched the butcher's knife and

11:37

you recently fought the mariner

11:39

in some capacity. So

11:41

it's hard to say what that actually

11:43

means. Okay, so it's less of a

11:45

oh shit and it's more of like

11:47

a, well, this is a little kind

11:49

of business as usual. What do you

11:51

expect you grapple with with

11:54

cosmic forces weekly? It may

11:56

be an old echo rather than the new

11:58

scar. Sure. Get

12:00

some food, get some sleep. After

12:05

the two of them leave the room

12:07

and Oramar starts to busy himself with

12:09

a degree of tidying the books away,

12:12

and then after is sure that he's

12:14

unlikely to be disturbed, tips the water

12:16

out of the bowl, refills

12:18

it, and hovers a finger

12:21

over the bowl. He

12:25

thinks about the kind of various luminaries

12:27

that he has been in contact with

12:30

recently, but also he

12:32

feels himself quietly to be a special

12:34

case. Okay, so

12:37

this is the card that I drew earlier

12:39

and it was, it's a

12:42

luminary that like technically I haven't

12:44

assigned because it was a prototype

12:47

luminary that Keith was like kicking

12:49

around that didn't really fit into

12:51

the setting, so it's been a

12:54

stand-in for others in a previous

12:56

drawing. I did refer

12:58

to it as the luminary that

13:00

would have represented the sovereign. However,

13:03

like there is

13:05

also the possibility that that

13:07

represents the blank space that

13:10

the absence of the sovereign represents

13:12

in the tapestry of the world.

13:15

So I kind of like the

13:17

idea this card wants to come out

13:20

as it has now been drawn twice

13:22

in the last couple minutes. What

13:25

if it is a blank card? The

13:29

captain stares at

13:31

the, I think

13:33

the amount of like the effect is very slight.

13:37

It's not, if you stared at it you

13:39

realized it was not a perfect circle, this

13:41

droplet of blood in the middle of it.

13:43

You just kind of just feel it's only

13:45

a hint. Yeah, there's

13:47

just, it gravitates towards an empty

13:50

space where the ring

13:52

of cards was not quite exact

13:54

or perfect, which

13:56

you could have sworn when you

13:58

arranged them. that it was. The

14:02

captain's side and Reseeves tidying, and

14:05

I guess we move on. Yeah, let's

14:08

move to morning.

14:12

I think there are a

14:14

couple things that you'll probably want

14:16

to check up on. I

14:20

remember that there is

14:22

a reference desk representative

14:24

within the town. There

14:28

is a meeting that Truss

14:30

has requested with Oramar. I

14:33

don't know that we specified a time and

14:35

a place for that meeting, so we can...

14:37

No, they may send an errand

14:40

boy along to kind of... I

14:42

said errand boy, it will be Mr. Stone most

14:45

likely. He'll be sent to go. And

14:48

we also know that the Hyuru

14:50

has on order some

14:53

measure of like clothing

14:55

and whatnot. Find

14:57

a new paint. Yeah.

14:59

So you'll probably want that before

15:01

you start doing your dark

15:04

deeds. But yeah, it's

15:06

morning. And finally,

15:08

there is somewhere out

15:11

there the cleaver being held

15:13

by a person that it

15:15

can control. And what

15:17

its agenda is, is unclear. Is

15:20

this a morning meeting situation? Is this

15:22

a 10am stand up? If

15:25

you wanted to be, we can all

15:27

be near Angelo to sort of like,

15:30

let's collaboratively talk to

15:32

this person and explain appropriately what

15:35

happened to him. And over

15:37

Angelo, we're having our daily

15:39

stand up. It's

15:42

more because you mentioned that you want to kind

15:44

of notify the rest of the crew if we

15:46

want to involve everybody else. But

15:48

I do like the idea of speaking

15:50

to Angelo specifically because he knows the

15:53

people of Sorrowsend better

15:55

than we do. So if there is anybody

15:57

who's been harbouring ill will in a rancid

15:59

way. way for an extended period of time he

16:01

might know. Maybe

16:04

we can talk to Angelo later. I like the idea

16:06

of the stand up first. Yeah, let's

16:08

speak to the crew over breakfast then. We've

16:13

had meetings before and I guess it feels like it's

16:15

in one of those like really long

16:17

dining halls with a long wooden table

16:19

and all the crew is all 200

16:21

and dumpty-dum. 200

16:24

and dumpty-dum. I

16:28

think there is a ringing of the

16:31

heart bell that people know that the

16:33

meeting takes place. I feel like the

16:35

meetings have either taken place on the

16:37

top deck or probably in the heart

16:39

of the ship around the heart bell.

16:42

It really depends on conditions and whatnot.

DeMotto here to let you know that

I, along with Jeff and John from

17:57

That'll be Friday, March 1st, in Room 423. Then

18:00

we're doing the Ultimate Dungeon Meister

18:02

Show, an improvised actual play using

18:04

all sorts of tools from the Ultimate

18:06

RPG and Dungeon Meister line of

18:08

books and cards. That'll be happening

18:10

Saturday, March 2nd at 2pm in room

18:13

327. Jeff,

18:15

John, and I will also be hosting a

18:17

one-shot meetup for anyone in the Seattle area,

18:19

no entrance to the convention necessary.

18:21

That will be Friday, March 1st at

18:24

7pm, meeting up in the lobby of

18:26

the Hilton Motif, Seattle, 1415

18:29

Fifth Avenue. We'll see you heroes at the

18:31

show! There

20:00

is a side table with, Toku

20:02

has like a pop-up station, like

20:04

hot plate, and he's kind of

20:06

got like blueberry crepes for

20:09

folks that, which is like a

20:11

nice delicacy, but it's also like,

20:14

people know, like if you get the

20:16

crepes, there's some news. Like

20:20

a- That's a serious

20:23

meeting. Yeah. The

20:26

captain stands in standard garb, not

20:29

in disguise garb. I think the crew is generally aware

20:31

that he's kind of acting as Julian L obeleste when he's off the ship. So

20:35

the fact that he's here is Oromar today as of

20:37

note. Members

20:41

of the Uhuru, I hope you've

20:43

all rested well and thank

20:46

you for your patience. While

20:48

we have been settling ourselves amongst

20:50

a new and interesting community

20:53

of Saru's friend, I'm

20:55

bringing you this meeting today to bring

20:58

to your attention a potential. He

21:03

opens his mouth to say calamity and

21:05

swallows it. A

21:08

clash of ideals within the

21:10

community that can ripple on to our

21:13

matters as we move to meet

21:15

the red feathers on our next job.

21:19

There's some like mumbling and rumbling

21:22

amongst the crew, like kind of curious

21:24

as to what you could be referring

21:26

to. In

21:30

our fact-finding and ingratiating

21:32

ourselves amongst the community,

21:34

we have found that there

21:38

is a luminary presence that

21:42

has latched on

21:44

to how the town operates. We

21:47

have the butcher in our

21:49

midst. guiding

22:01

protecting oneself against various

22:03

luminaries so there are

22:05

a couple people who like when

22:07

the name is mentioned and whatnot

22:09

quickly turned to their

22:12

superstitious practice to you

22:14

know keep themselves safe I'm

22:16

just curious what might be one of

22:18

these practices do we think specifically against

22:20

the butcher it could be

22:22

anything that we get to butcher or like

22:25

bad lumens in in general because I

22:27

like the I like the idea of you

22:29

know there are people have dietary

22:32

circumstances for a wide variety of reasons

22:34

in the world but I like the

22:37

idea that there are some people who

22:39

genuinely go vegetarian or vegan as a

22:41

way to kind of like keep the

22:43

butcher metaphorically out of their

22:45

lives that's good are we looking

22:47

for more yeah why not I

22:51

feel like there's maybe a parallel

22:53

superstition where it's like when you

22:55

suspect the butcher to be in

22:58

presence like be around it's like

23:00

sharp objects should be on display

23:02

to make sure that no one's

23:04

like hiding any like malentine so

23:06

I think there's it's like if

23:08

you suspect the butcher you take

23:10

your knife and you like you

23:12

jab it into like the closest

23:15

wooden substance like there's a there's my there's

23:18

my knife it's on it's there not with

23:20

me yeah I think

23:22

I think there is like a measure of

23:24

doing that I also feel like part of

23:27

the superstition is you're supposed to keep your

23:29

blade clean like if you've been using it

23:31

as a tool or whatever you especially don't

23:33

want any blood or anything on it so

23:35

like everybody very quickly like takes out their

23:38

knives takes out a cloth and whatnot and

23:40

like I think going over to the

23:43

mast of a ship must descend beneath the

23:45

top deck this is me revealing how

23:47

little I know of the anatomy of

23:49

ships but like it's so tall like

23:51

it asked you they they go over

23:53

to the main mast and just put

23:55

like their knives in the mast while

23:57

this conversation is going on I think

24:00

I think there's also a very small gesture

24:02

that's sort of like a replacement for a side

24:04

of the cross or when people say bless you.

24:07

People will make a small sewing

24:10

gesture on their skin. Like,

24:12

oh, I'm stitching up holes

24:14

or wounds that are just

24:16

like, it's more of a

24:18

nervous gesture. Cool. I love

24:21

it. I love it. Yeah. So there is

24:23

a bunch of fidgeting and movement that

24:25

the Ahuru's pirates are doing to

24:28

defend themselves against the Butcher. To

24:31

give you the two most pertinent

24:34

facts, and then I will open

24:36

the floor to the

24:38

other members of the captain's quarters for their

24:40

opinions on how to proceed, and then open

24:42

up to the general floor for if

24:44

there are any questions from the crew

24:47

of the Ahuru. Oramar kind of established

24:49

that we're going to be talking about

24:51

the current facts that we know, our

24:53

personal feelings on where we're going to

24:55

be going with this, and then opening

24:57

it to the floor for any questions

24:59

from the crew. The

25:03

people of Sorrow's End are

25:05

here desperately interred

25:08

by a red feather initiative

25:10

to produce the dye that

25:13

they adorn all of

25:15

their products, including with. The

25:17

basics of this have already been explained,

25:19

I'm sure, but the

25:22

resentment, I'm sure, is obvious. That's

25:24

brewing among the people alongside

25:27

what they are brewing in the vats

25:29

of the factories. The Butcher,

25:32

driven to violence and

25:34

killing intent, very

25:36

may well latch on to

25:39

such harbored, resentful feelings,

25:41

and we fear that that may become

25:43

a fever pitch in the coming days.

25:46

The method of which will be a cleaver

25:49

that some of you may even have seen earlier. It

25:52

is currently loose within the

25:55

settlement and can easily fall

25:57

into the hands of those who have been

25:59

in the air. It deems

26:01

as a willing or

26:04

a suitable vessel for violence.

26:08

This may be a member of the town. This

26:10

may be a red feather. This may be one of

26:12

us. Ultimately, our aim

26:15

is to secure it and make sure

26:17

it can't cause harm where

26:19

sorrow would befall its

26:22

wake. All that to

26:24

say, everybody, be on

26:26

the lookout for folks

26:28

that seem mad. Perc-terb,

26:30

slightly heated, steam coming

26:33

out of their ears.

26:37

If it is a source

26:39

of anger or frustration that could

26:41

be where the butcher takes his

26:45

next swing. All

26:47

right? That is the

26:50

short-term immediate issue

26:52

that involves all

26:54

of us and our immediate concerns and

26:56

our immediate safety. Otherwise,

27:01

in what we have learned about this

27:03

town and some basic projections

27:05

of the future, sorrow's

27:08

end is on track for calamity.

27:12

That seems irrefutable. So

27:15

without offering up the services of

27:17

the entire Uhuru, there

27:19

is a situation in which our involvement

27:22

with the butcher could

27:25

also impact the

27:27

stability and the safety of

27:30

the town. Our methods

27:32

of attacking or

27:35

dealing with the immediate issue

27:37

could also expand to dealing

27:39

with the greater issue of the

27:41

entire situation, the

27:44

indentured servitude, the illness.

27:49

That's a much greater proposition. If that's not something

27:51

we weren't interested, I would say let's pop

27:53

out. But just wanted to put

27:56

that out there. Put it out there.

28:00

kind of like stands

28:02

up. I just want to get

28:04

this right. So we landed

28:07

here at this random

28:10

town, and the

28:12

butcher just happened to be waiting,

28:15

lying in wait here. It

28:19

is a factor under which

28:21

they operate in Sorrow's End.

28:25

The dye that they

28:27

use to make the red-feather colours

28:29

is toxic. The

28:32

methods under which the people

28:34

of Sorrow's End have been poisoned

28:36

by this dye, a cure, or

28:39

at least a way to ease the suffering

28:41

of it, is to give up some of

28:43

their own flesh for

28:45

a solace and temporary

28:47

salvation, which feeds the

28:50

butcher heavily into

28:53

this circumstance. Okay.

28:56

Okay. So the butcher was

28:58

just here, and we happened

29:01

to land in another place with

29:04

a strong luminary presence.

29:09

It's weird that how often it happens. I'll

29:12

give that to you. That's

29:15

where I am with a big

29:17

part of this. Most of the

29:19

places that we have

29:21

left recently have had

29:23

some luminous calamity

29:26

befall them. I

29:29

speak for myself, but I

29:31

feel like we do

29:34

good work every place that we go,

29:36

and big problems happen

29:38

to be showing up in front of us.

29:41

I guess that's all I have to

29:43

say right now. It's a

29:45

lot to take in. Well observed, yes. Everyone

29:49

on this ship is given 110%, and

29:51

it doesn't go unnoticed. just

30:00

seems like we keep getting hit

30:02

with new wrinkles and new luminaries

30:05

that just keep popping up and

30:07

saying what's up to, you know,

30:11

just muck up our stuff. But

30:16

that doesn't mean that we

30:19

quit. We don't quit, all

30:21

right? We double back in. We

30:25

stick it to the luminaries. And

30:29

then we get out of the hodge and we go to the next place. Yeah.

30:34

I think now is a good time to

30:36

segue to our own personal feelings within the

30:38

council about ways to proceed. Even

30:42

though we landed here not knowing

30:44

the situation of Sorrow's End, I

30:46

cannot in good conscience let the

30:49

red feathers exploit yet another community

30:51

and leave them bleeding and dry

30:53

while they prawns

30:55

around in a fancy color that

30:58

they have copyrighted. If

31:00

we are leaving here, I would like to

31:02

ensure that whatever the red feathers have established

31:04

here is dismantled and that the people of

31:06

Sorrow's End have the power to go and

31:08

live the life that they deserve. This

31:12

is a difficult thing to request. After

31:14

all, historically, there are precious sea

31:16

revolutions that are bloodless and

31:19

a bloody revolution is

31:21

exactly what the butcher would

31:23

be thriving on. Ultimately,

31:27

if anybody is to be placed

31:29

with the cleaver, I

31:31

should hope it would be

31:33

someone with a pause. And

31:36

it's not a proud expression that Oromar

31:38

has. It's more solemn than that. Someone

31:42

like myself where I feel I

31:44

have the means

31:46

to make sure it cannot harm

31:48

anyone else in the short term.

32:00

and actually quite pointedly, I would rather there

32:02

to be in my hands than in the

32:04

hands of red feather fields to do worse

32:06

atrocities than what they've already done. Captain,

32:09

I have to protest. I don't want

32:12

that anywhere near me. I

32:15

understand. I don't think

32:17

you do with what I have

32:19

been through and what the

32:21

past feels like weeks, but it's

32:24

been a goddamn year with what

32:27

I've lost, with how I've

32:29

suffered, something like

32:31

that around me, and it's

32:34

not even just that. I

32:38

have been keeping it pretty cool,

32:40

I think, around a lot

32:42

of you. But

32:44

this arm of mine, this

32:47

arm of mine is capable of some things. If

32:53

I were to

32:55

hold the knife

32:57

of the butcher, none

33:01

of you would be able to stop me. As

33:06

Captain, it is my vow that

33:09

if you should take the

33:11

knife of the butcher, I will

33:14

place every effort within my power, I

33:16

will push myself to the limit to

33:18

stop you. Oh, well,

33:20

that's real comforting, Captain. That's

33:23

real comforting. Unfortunately, we

33:25

are not in a circumstance for conflict, we

33:27

are in a circumstance for realities. How about

33:29

we don't take the knife of the butcher

33:32

onto the ship? How about that one? Oh,

33:34

these crates are really good. Oh, man. Oh,

33:37

man. Oh, man. Such

33:39

a light. Cooler heads, cooler heads.

33:42

Let's let them prevail. Cooler heads? I...

33:45

Oh, yeah, yeah, no, cooler heads should

33:47

prevail. I'm supposed to be watching my

33:50

temper, after all, because that's a butcher

33:52

risk, right? Maybe

33:54

we should listen to me. Yeah.

33:59

I... I see your

34:01

point and you are correct.

34:05

If possible, I

34:07

personally believe that the best method

34:11

of dealing with our collective issues, find

34:16

the butcher and his

34:18

knife by allowing it to

34:22

present itself in whomever the target

34:24

may be. Keep a

34:26

close eye through a whisper network that

34:29

is also simultaneously

34:31

walking amongst the

34:34

population attempting to

34:36

revolutionize, find weaknesses,

34:38

deconstruct the factory

34:40

itself. When the

34:42

butcher presents itself at

34:45

its big, violent event, hopefully we know

34:47

enough to be able

34:49

to stop it before it happens and

34:52

then through science

34:54

or magic destroy the cleaver.

34:58

That sounds easy. That sounds

35:01

difficult, but it could be easy. Hmm.

35:04

Okay, Wendell, let's have

35:06

a seat because we're

35:08

exploring other options here.

35:12

Personally, I am

35:15

in favor of helping

35:17

people where we can. I

35:20

know that I and many of

35:23

the others aboard this crew were in

35:25

to face the Mariner himself when

35:27

Nordia was under threat. That

35:30

is, after all, part

35:32

of what the Uhuru does. And

35:36

especially as the red feathers have

35:38

caused most of the suffering here,

35:41

I feel it is well within

35:44

our right and duty to

35:46

intervene. I must

35:48

admit, the idea of having

35:51

to do that as bloodlessly

35:53

as possible, at least

35:55

we incur the influence of

35:57

the butcher, feels to be a good thing.

36:00

challenging. If this

36:02

was a simple matter of

36:04

taking a well-armed and battle-hardened

36:07

and organized crew and

36:09

arming and leading the

36:12

no doubt overwhelming population

36:15

here against the smaller

36:18

population of guards, I

36:21

believe we would be successful. But

36:25

it would be a matter of cutting

36:27

down the red feathers. It

36:30

would be quite bloody. Indeed.

36:34

That is to say, I am not

36:36

so arrogant as to suggest that the

36:38

way that I would personally choose to

36:40

proceed is the only way that we

36:43

shall. I open it to both the

36:45

rest of the council and the floor

36:47

for alternate suggestions on methodology of freeing

36:50

the people of Sorrow's

36:52

End. Do realize that

36:55

we do actually have an

36:57

opportunity here. Being in

36:59

Sorrow's End gives us access to supplies

37:01

that give us validity once

37:03

we reach our final target of

37:05

the ball and the election.

37:08

However, if there is a member within

37:11

the red feathers of Sorrow's End who

37:13

is able to get ahead of us

37:15

and notify others of our coming, our

37:19

plans are dashed. We

37:43

once again return to the stage. the

38:00

long line of prospective pirates.

38:02

For the sky ship Uhuru,

38:04

we see one person kind

38:07

of waddle hop off of

38:09

the line and sort of

38:11

bend at the waist to place a

38:13

stack of headshots and

38:15

resumes on the table in

38:18

front of the audition committee. And they

38:20

go and like

38:22

being only just over five feet

38:24

kind of like hop on top of the stool

38:27

so that they can like roughly look most

38:29

of the very tall people sitting on the other

38:31

side of the table in

38:33

the eyes and go hello welcome

38:37

how are you well yes

38:43

I'm pleasant thank you and yourself mr.

38:47

oh wow

38:49

okay come again very

38:51

excited all right uh uh

38:54

glancing at the at the resume um

38:57

how should we adjust you mr excited

39:00

paris all right

39:03

paris geter paris

39:05

paris geter

39:08

paris okay um

39:11

uh-huh okay now

39:14

uh not that we necessarily ask

39:16

everybody uh this is this a

39:18

kind of like a nominative determinism

39:20

uh going on mr.

39:32

skater uh what what kind

39:34

of skills are you looking to offer

39:36

the uhuru uh with your application i'm

39:38

a good boy okay i'm

39:41

gonna turn to the rest of the group

39:43

we have an opportunity um

39:47

listen we have a bit of a shrodingers

39:50

birds happening underneath

39:53

this coat i'm going to wager that

39:55

there are two birds i would say

39:57

at least 12 a person Yeah,

40:00

but if we never. All. Birds

40:04

exist. Well

40:07

my my pitch would be we

40:09

open the could immediately. If it's

40:11

a lot of birds they are

40:13

flare out there in the meetings.

40:15

are we going to the next

40:17

person at that price that's my

40:19

things are tested the ear a

40:21

I guess some some to I'm

40:24

concerned about it you know causing

40:26

seen this cannot beat them up

40:28

you and unless that it would

40:30

be funny so since seat replied

40:32

be funny. Extremely. Sad you

40:34

know what? Funny already a bias and se but

40:36

another that now. okay okay are we are we

40:38

going to draw lots for he's gonna open still

40:41

at large Is that the birds? insects? This is

40:43

the. Great I

40:45

climbed up on the best and

40:47

then just like since rockets hat

40:49

buffer straight for the coat is

40:52

the third. Be upset you pull

40:54

the coach open and it is

40:56

a griffin parakeet that you stand

40:58

that fire hall oh but is

41:01

about you know while really bird.

41:03

Yeah, just as the one. Was

41:06

incorrect. That

41:09

that is. That. Is so

41:11

fair and very similar to the

41:14

surface I I I feel like

41:16

I have egg on my face.

41:19

Here is your coat. It is

41:21

yours. This We almost never do

41:23

this. Know it's after. There are

41:26

some instances in these interviews in

41:28

which we are out of pocket

41:31

and in those cases we give

41:33

you the opportunity. After experiencing

41:35

what you just did so sorry dance you

41:37

had to choose. You get immunity. You just

41:39

get on the ship if you want. After

41:42

what did happen, if you still want to

41:44

be ownership, you get three months on the

41:46

ship. That's our policy. Weakest. Eight

41:48

years since it's in. This isn't

41:51

the application contracts so. Are

41:54

you looking to be working with

41:56

a Griffin's? Then may

41:58

call me. Oh

42:01

getting I. Visited. Be challenging

42:04

because now we we don't.

42:06

Know what the bird has heard

42:08

to be able to sleep back

42:10

to us some. Of us to.

42:14

Read of but I've got a

42:16

flip. Dictionary at you see you

42:18

could see a lot of different words.

42:20

And then maybe communicate clear.

42:22

At Us is is working for you.

42:24

Are you able Gave a flurry of

42:27

scum populate? Okay. Were a

42:29

what job do you want? To

42:31

say. What job

42:33

do you suffer? Good

42:36

boy. Good boy. I'll

42:38

write some you want be someone's pet.

42:41

Or we can get suit. We can get solve

42:43

a problem be. Ah

42:45

us to feel that the earth the good

42:47

boy position on the ship is probably already

42:50

been taken. The might already be as I'm

42:52

concerned about our current good boy being replaced

42:54

Summer Maybe it's a more than the climate

42:56

has a soothing he will get when you're

42:59

Griffin's up the abbey we we we have

43:01

a position for for for best for in

43:03

so grip as free as well as have

43:05

a sister. Does not have has a clean up.
