46:00

And played it for hours. Yeah,

46:03

the whole time. Hours blasted it across

46:05

the entire scene. You're right. That is

46:07

terrorism. It's I wasn't there

46:09

for a second of it. I was.

46:12

Oh, well, you didn't who cut it?

46:16

I didn't I didn't cut it. I

46:18

just approved it. I was the editor

46:20

in chief of the of the comedy

46:23

magazine. OK. And

46:25

I said, this sounds like a great idea and I don't want to

46:27

come. And that

46:29

was the end of it. Art had a Fu

46:31

Man Chu mustache at the time. Also, oh

46:34

my God. Whoa. It

46:37

was good. It was a different time. Yeah,

46:40

that was allowed. I'm just

46:42

picturing it. That's more wasn't really a

46:44

burning wheel or something. Or was that

46:46

just for fun? It

46:48

wasn't a fun. You're right. It wasn't. It wasn't off

46:51

your face. It was like it was like a Western

46:53

off the face. Like a Wild West type mustache. Wild

46:56

West like a Hulk Hogan mustache, like a

46:58

Hulk Hogan mustache. OK, that I learned recently

47:00

is not called a handlebar mustache. And that's

47:02

a different kind of mustache. It's called a

47:04

Hulk Hogan mustache. That was called the Hulk

47:06

Hogan mustache. That was movie. This

47:10

conversation is happening after it. They're talking about mustaches

47:12

that were in the film. Uh huh. Yes.

47:15

The mustache debate, the post movie mustache

47:17

debate. Yeah. Well,

47:20

it's called Shane Wilson was in Around the World in

47:22

the 80 days, but as one of the Wright Brothers

47:24

who showed up. Sure. Count it.

47:26

Steve Coogan was we take those. The

47:29

meta has changed. The somebody's

47:31

into a count of German

47:33

references at the beginning of the season and Northern

47:36

line references at the end of the season. Wow.

47:38

Huge win for Canada. It's

47:42

can't go. Boston loses again. Is

47:46

German from Boston? Yeah. So

47:50

I get two dice. Wait,

47:52

so then what happened? Then build this thing. Do

47:55

you want to say goodbye to Corey and I, you know. I

1:20:00

don't know if like Yeah picking

1:20:02

the right one ends up being part of the role How

1:20:07

you arrive well we'll get some

1:20:09

context here Yeah, because

1:20:12

I know how I know how this one

1:20:14

way ticket works, which I don't think that

1:20:16

I was So

1:20:18

I don't know that El knows how it works, but

1:20:20

I'll describe it. So The

1:20:23

way this works. I mean, I guess it I Let's

1:20:26

just zoom into a scene but

1:20:29

You know, there is a place

1:20:31

that El knows to go to I

1:20:34

think it's in the hills of steeple cataract It

1:20:37

is a actually it wouldn't be there. It would

1:20:40

be somewhere in one of the oh, you know where it is

1:20:42

It's in the one remaining Area

1:20:46

or maybe it's like deep in city. It's either deep in

1:20:48

city city or it's in the

1:20:50

frontier syndicate places Maybe

1:20:53

it's in composure's Coliseum, which

1:20:55

I'm guessing composure We didn't talk about this, but

1:20:57

I'm guessing composure was also brought in

1:20:59

by August righteousness August

1:21:01

righteousness arrested a giant arena Somewhere

1:21:07

in one of these frontier syndicate places there

1:21:10

is a Shed, you

1:21:13

know like out in the in the outskirts

1:21:15

of a town and

1:21:18

in the shed is a button and

1:21:22

She hits the button Screen

1:21:24

pops up Puts

1:21:26

in the code it verifies

1:21:29

that it's her And

1:21:32

then there is a loud sound as the

1:21:36

divine present teleports

1:21:39

in Present of course

1:21:41

one of the founding members of the pack

1:21:43

necessary venture. Oh fuck

1:21:45

Gallica the elect thereof

1:21:49

One of the two remaining members of that pact

1:21:53

Who most recently tried to kill

1:21:55

castle ariza on screen? We've seen

1:21:57

Gallica show up a number of

1:21:59

times and offer a poison

1:22:01

pill to the player characters in some way or

1:22:03

another. And here

1:22:05

she is again, folks, in her

1:22:08

all-white everything outfit. Except

1:22:13

this time, she moves

1:22:16

not of her own will. Oh,

1:22:20

when she steps down the stairs,

1:22:23

she does so clearly in

1:22:27

distress. Clearly

1:22:31

in compulsion, she

1:22:37

signed a contract. And

1:22:41

this is at least one part of it. This

1:22:47

is what Elle had access to, and in

1:22:49

some ways I think Elle, I

1:22:52

think you see fear in Elle

1:22:54

because here she is faced with

1:22:56

the truth, which is there is no way that

1:22:58

we know getting out of

1:23:01

one of Arbitrage's contracts, even with the most

1:23:03

powerful people in the galaxy, has

1:23:05

been compelled by one. And

1:23:10

we know that Elle has her own

1:23:12

contract with Arbitrage, or we suspect she

1:23:14

might. Nothing has been

1:23:16

explicitly elusive. We got one that had a couple of vines. We

1:23:18

got one that had a couple of vines, folks. And

1:23:22

I mean, actually, Arbitrage predates Gumption

1:23:25

2. Oh, just shoot. Grind

1:23:27

it in the gallery. Just paste. We can paste this

1:23:29

one. Maybe I know where we're going. And,

1:23:35

you know, stands in

1:23:38

sort of, not attention, but,

1:23:40

you know, at full standing

1:23:42

posture as if to let

1:23:45

you on board, you know, like an usher

1:23:47

awaiting your entrance on board the ship. You

1:23:49

know, seems

1:23:52

upset about this, but does

1:23:55

not seem capable of resisting

1:23:57

this compulsion. I

1:24:00

mean, I think the big thing

1:24:02

is like, is Elle still cool

1:24:04

with going through with this? I

1:24:12

think Elle looks to you and asks you back

1:24:15

and says, is this

1:24:17

okay with you? I

1:24:20

didn't know. I mean,

1:24:23

okay is a stretch, but usable

1:24:25

is still on the table. I

1:24:30

don't know, kind of just recalibrate some priorities

1:24:32

I think. I've

1:24:37

always been more of an effects than a cause,

1:24:39

so. I know this is a venue. After

1:24:44

you. Yeah,

1:24:48

Cory did like pull a gun or something.

1:24:50

Oh sure, of course. But her, it probably

1:24:52

still has it in her hand, which is

1:24:54

getting on this thing. And

1:24:57

Elle is going to follow you aboard and you know some

1:24:59

stuff can get loaded on. If you

1:25:02

all have bags or I don't know if

1:25:04

your mechs are going to fit on this thing, but

1:25:06

that was not really part of the deal, I think.

1:25:08

No, so. So, perennial's got my bag. Yeah, you'll figure

1:25:10

it out as you go. Yeah.

1:25:13

Yeah, and there is not a betrayal coming

1:25:15

or anything like this. So

1:25:18

with this said, what is the goal of this scene? Is

1:25:24

it to go out into the

1:25:26

world and successfully

1:25:28

set up

1:25:31

shop somewhere or? Yeah, it

1:25:33

kind of is. It isn't

1:25:35

necessarily, I don't know if they're necessarily going to be

1:25:37

setting up their own like full on like. Right. Right.

1:25:41

But it is to start up their own

1:25:43

sort of operation. Yeah.

1:25:46

Joining up with a morning break sale. Yeah.

1:25:49

There's more ways to

1:25:52

get perennials like influence spreading.

1:25:54

So it can slow the

1:25:56

bat of arbitrage and things like it too.

1:26:00

Got another place where I hadn't thought about where

1:26:03

you could go Is

1:26:06

yeah the center of the galaxy you go see

1:26:08

perennial What

1:26:10

you Don't

1:26:14

know what you do after that, but maybe that's fine. I

1:26:16

don't know Fuck that's

1:26:18

cool. It is we've not seen that

1:26:20

place since our original

1:26:23

armor astir Anywhere

1:26:25

in the galaxy Cuz

1:26:27

is that the plan right like

1:26:29

go to a perennial and then

1:26:31

get redirected to where like like

1:26:33

make the decision with Perennial itself

1:26:35

to where to go after that

1:26:37

maybe that's fun What's

1:26:41

you know we haven't I haven't looked at this the

1:26:43

way we described all that in a long time And

1:26:46

maybe that's part of what this role is right is

1:26:48

like can you actually get there safely? And

1:26:51

if we if I fuck it up we got

1:26:53

some oh no they landed somewhere else We shot

1:26:55

it to fire exactly exactly Was

1:26:58

there something else asking a question at some point did

1:27:00

I miss that no, I'm just

1:27:02

excited Yeah, I

1:27:04

believe yeah in our initial Armor

1:27:08

astir game that is how things wrapped up

1:27:10

was perennial took I say this like I

1:27:12

think this is what happened when it's been One of

1:27:14

the core truths of the setting since then

1:27:17

this is the like the big any

1:27:19

H Nano machine

1:27:21

Dyson sphere thing perennial takes

1:27:23

over the center of it and You

1:27:27

know that's that's where you're going back to

1:27:29

where Teisel mode Uploaded

1:27:31

or connected perennial to this machine

1:27:36

I guess I guess yeah, this is gonna be a

1:27:38

role in which you're trying to you

1:27:41

along with L and Galika

1:27:44

and present Who

1:27:47

have to give this the best of their ability are

1:27:50

trying to navigate to the center of the

1:27:52

galaxy Using present

1:27:55

which is like a teleporting divine. Yeah, so

1:27:58

it's like I think it's less. I mean,

1:28:00

I don't know. You get to see it

1:28:02

firsthand from the cockpit of this thing. And

1:28:04

maybe it is more like flying very quickly.

1:28:07

Maybe there's a time dilation thing happening where

1:28:09

like you actually there is

1:28:11

an active sense of

1:28:13

piloting this machine and not

1:28:16

just it. You you select your fast

1:28:18

travel point on the map and it

1:28:20

goes there. You know. Yeah. And

1:28:22

maybe it becomes more difficult the closer you

1:28:25

arrive to towards the center of

1:28:27

the galaxy. Yeah. I kind of like the idea

1:28:29

of it being. Honestly,

1:28:32

the way you're describing just kind of reminds me

1:28:34

of the way like I would do stuff in

1:28:36

Elite Dangerous which is like travel. You're traveling really

1:28:38

far. You're going fast and you're not really paying

1:28:40

attention until you need to start narrowing. Yeah. The

1:28:43

more precise way you're flying. Yeah. And I

1:28:45

think that works here. And like Elite Dangerous

1:28:47

if you don't decelerate at the right time,

1:28:49

you end up you're going to find yourself

1:28:51

into the sun. Exactly. Exactly. The very at

1:28:54

the very least you're going to overshoot your

1:28:56

destination. Like I have to fucking circle back

1:28:58

around now. This is annoying. And

1:29:00

then someone jumps you. You know. Yeah.

1:29:03

It's you know I don't

1:29:05

think I could ever go back to that game because

1:29:08

it's just too crunchy for me now. However, whenever when

1:29:10

I accidentally ended up on it right

1:29:12

in front of a dying star and had to

1:29:14

like pilot out of it. Very cool. Killer. Don't

1:29:16

as hell. All right. All

1:29:18

right. Um. Relevant

1:29:22

stuff. Yeah. I feel

1:29:24

like L counts right.

1:29:27

Yeah. L counts here. L's in the scene. And

1:29:29

then this is the boom. This is the one way

1:29:32

ticket out of the Mirage. I don't

1:29:34

know if the afflictions can help you here. I don't think the afflictions help you

1:29:36

here. Hunted by Iconoclasts.

1:29:39

Fuck. Is wild. They

1:29:41

start crawling on. It's like

1:29:44

the gremlins in on

1:29:46

the side of the wing in the

1:29:48

Twilight Zone movie. They're fucking on the

1:29:50

on present with you. You know trying

1:29:53

to break their way. There's a ferret on the wing of the

1:29:55

plane. Put up Shut

1:30:00

up slash overwhelmed seems relevant also

1:30:02

unfortunately. Yeah, okay. I thought

1:30:05

this was her doing that Oh, yes, this is her

1:30:07

doing it right. Yeah. Yeah, but I still think that's

1:30:09

why it's it's still a burden It's you doing it

1:30:11

which is hard Yeah,

1:30:13

okay, right Yeah

1:30:16

overwhelmed if I got

1:30:18

it. Yeah, I don't think How

1:30:22

do you break the wheel from this place a relative piece though

1:30:24

cuz that obstacle isn't is You're

1:30:27

not doing that. You're not in the place.

1:30:29

I am actively addressing. Yeah Yeah,

1:30:35

I'm torn on Corey's only skills violence do you even

1:30:37

know how to build something Thoughts

1:30:43

This isn't really building it's yeah more

1:30:45

like going to building yeah And

1:30:49

while you could hear an argument that it's like

1:30:51

well, this is a precursor to building It is

1:30:53

a precursor that that is being Offered

1:30:56

through an engine of violence right

1:30:58

and weirdly the iconoclasts attacking you

1:31:01

has made violence relevant That's

1:31:04

true. Yeah. Oh god. Your

1:31:07

right eye is really itchy. Oh It's

1:31:12

good five opposition dice for

1:31:16

for Corey Who

1:31:18

wants? Oh, you should roll this for

1:31:21

your iconoclasts for your iconoclasts Mm-hmm

1:31:25

Should I roll first or let art roll? Let's

1:31:27

see what you're all against. Okay. Oh that that

1:31:29

ain't good six six five Here

1:31:32

we are again. We've gotten so many six

1:31:34

six fives. I feel Okay

1:31:38

Okay, this is this is rough

1:31:41

ain't great Well,

1:31:43

I mean what's your what's your out and

1:31:45

you know, I'm doing it. Is it lash

1:31:47

out? It's a tough lash out though because

1:31:49

you're you have bad numbers. You have bad

1:31:51

numbers Yeah, I do but

1:31:53

but it just get rid of the way rolls is

1:31:55

all three two one Yeah,

1:31:58

can I? suggest

1:32:03

rerolling the fort to he's back I'll do

1:32:05

it wait but you okay you said just

1:32:07

reroll the sixes then you said the four

1:32:09

so you know I never said that I

1:32:11

didn't say just real the sixes I was

1:32:14

that someone else yeah that was someone else I

1:32:16

think reroll six six five four I'm

1:32:19

cuz there's because cuz you can't wear the no

1:32:21

one owned up to that key cuz

1:32:24

I also get an extra die yeah you're

1:32:26

lashing out yeah you will get what visually

1:32:28

narratively this feels

1:32:30

like trying

1:32:34

to figure out what combat capabilities

1:32:37

whatever vessel we're in sure yeah

1:32:40

and maybe like taking the controls of it

1:32:43

from yeah from Galica

1:32:45

right there I think maybe Gallic is

1:32:48

like a real letter of the law

1:32:50

thing here which is not

1:32:52

there's not Gallica hasn't been compelled to

1:32:54

protect you during this trip yeah

1:32:57

I'm just I'm just the bus

1:32:59

driver yeah so

1:33:02

taking control of presence

1:33:05

you know defensive capabilities yeah yeah

1:33:08

yeah yeah all right art

1:33:10

do you want to reroll so wait six six five

1:33:12

four is being rerolled yeah

1:33:14

I gotta I feel like there's no way

1:33:17

I can pull this off see the role roll my

1:33:19

other day you roll your extra die cuz

1:33:22

like fleeing is isn't gonna work there's two sixes

1:33:25

oh my god oh my god

1:33:27

to kill myself that's that

1:33:30

reroll hey it's a little better

1:33:32

better it is a little better

1:33:34

little better five rerolled to six

1:33:37

six three you do

1:33:39

have a choice to make unfortunately well

1:33:42

and the four became a two I said for next season

1:33:47

we could try to find something else I

1:33:49

don't trust this anymore I don't trust them

1:33:52

the vibes are how would they know yeah

1:33:55

how would they know which side you know

1:33:58

how like Apple did this in spy I

1:34:00

did this where they would have like randomized

1:34:02

playlist and then the algorithm just got worse

1:34:04

over the time and you would like Hear

1:34:08

the same 20 songs. Yeah, they're just

1:34:10

rolling the same Same

1:34:12

six numbers over no, but I feel like

1:34:14

there's something wrong Just

1:34:17

feel it Inside of

1:34:19

isn't it famously hard to make a random number

1:34:21

generator? Is that true? Yes,

1:34:24

it is very you can't actually do it

1:34:26

is the real Don't dress it

1:34:29

Computers can't generate random numbers We're

1:34:32

all buying dice. Yeah Turning

1:34:36

on the webcams. Oh Wow

1:34:40

We'll be streaming live Point

1:34:45

it at your dice if I can

1:34:48

tell a quick an edit on my girlfriend was visiting

1:34:50

we needed to find a single Six-sided dice to play

1:34:52

a tabletop game and I could not find one in

1:34:54

my entire apartment Which is so

1:34:56

funny considering what I've been doing Just

1:35:01

don't bring my work home You

1:35:04

know go to the office together right yeah, yeah,

1:35:07

yeah, yeah So

1:35:11

right now six six three you

1:35:14

could lose this scene

1:35:17

and only take one doom by

1:35:19

blocking a six and

1:35:22

the three or You

1:35:25

could get a wind by putting the

1:35:27

six on a three and then taking

1:35:29

two dooms The

1:35:32

dooms I'm so it's scary I'm I

1:35:34

am so worried about at this point

1:35:36

in the game too because that's just

1:35:38

it won't pick up anything to six

1:35:40

or higher Which means you won't? No,

1:35:43

I'm worried about my misfortunes. No. No that part

1:35:45

is a hundred percent scary. Yes Yeah,

1:35:48

but you're gonna you've already taken one. I guess that's

1:35:50

one way to think about it. You've taken one misfortune

1:35:52

now because you

1:35:56

Lash down, but if I take the victory here I

1:35:58

get one You'll get one

1:36:00

fortune right now if you take the victory

1:36:03

you take one fortune and then get two more misfortune Did

1:36:05

we not say the thing where you can

1:36:07

block one of the sixes and then beat

1:36:09

the the three you can't I can't

1:36:11

beat The three which you can't oh, that's

1:36:14

not your five. No, no Sorry

1:36:20

Which the other thing you You

1:36:23

could menace to win on your three you could

1:36:25

menace to win on your three. Oh,

1:36:27

I can do it again We can cheat you

1:36:29

could you could also cheat and reroll any number

1:36:31

of your own dice She

1:36:34

could she roll the one two two three But

1:36:37

that's and there's at

1:36:39

a your chance of getting a four or

1:36:42

higher pretty. Yeah. Yeah, I Mean

1:36:45

in for a penny in for a pound

1:36:47

rate. Yeah again the choice here. I was

1:36:49

saying out loud again It seems

1:36:51

like the choice is either cheat which lets you

1:36:53

reroll your one two two three or You

1:36:57

put the six and the three on you

1:36:59

block the six one of the two sixes

1:37:02

and you take you you What

1:37:04

is it menace ties become wins? So

1:37:07

that could get you one win which

1:37:09

gives you the win for the scene and you

1:37:11

end up leaving with oh

1:37:13

my god That's still it's still three

1:37:16

It's impossible. Yeah, it's the real choice. Is

1:37:18

the way to go. The real thing is

1:37:21

that it's either cheat or no win and

1:37:23

one doom That's I think the

1:37:25

two real options here Yeah,

1:37:28

this is really bad sucks, but hey, it's the

1:37:30

finale it's time to roll those dice and it's

1:37:32

time to roll those dice evil Keith So

1:37:35

you're cheating what's that look like? How

1:37:44

does that work in the situation yeah, that's

1:37:46

a great question is that perennial magic is

1:37:48

that I probably perennial

1:37:51

take the wheel Yeah,

1:37:53

I mean like him it

1:37:55

literally might be like overriding

1:37:58

present and Gallic of stuff

1:38:01

with perennial, respectively, right? And

1:38:05

then that... Yeah, we know that

1:38:07

perennial can't turn back the clock and split

1:38:09

the timeline again. But we have seen some

1:38:11

perennial time magic stuff in other ways where

1:38:13

it's like, you go into

1:38:15

bullet time, you go into slow motion, you

1:38:17

see visions of what might come next. You,

1:38:20

you know, on top of traditional

1:38:23

perennial, enter the zone. You enter

1:38:25

the right, you enter the zone. Yeah, you

1:38:27

cheat by entering the zone. You put in

1:38:29

the game genie and, you

1:38:32

know, put on slow motion effect. So

1:38:35

I'm so stressed about this. You just gotta roll again. I

1:38:37

think this is gonna be great. I think you're gonna get

1:38:40

a six Everybody put their hand on their screen and cover

1:38:42

up the dice. I

1:38:44

close my eyes every time I do it. Okay, I'm...

1:38:46

Oh, we're not doing eyes right now. I think we're

1:38:48

doing a dusty move. I'm passing the power. I'm passing

1:38:50

the power. I am. It's all... Yeah, exactly. I'm doing

1:38:52

it too. My hands on the screen. I'm touching the

1:38:54

dice. I'm ready. I'm touching the... We're doing a spirit

1:38:56

bomb is what we're doing. I feel your power. I'm

1:38:58

clicking. This feels a little more Captain Planet. Well,

1:39:01

well, well, well, you know, this

1:39:03

is not better. Same as if you had

1:39:06

the same as if you had none of this of your

1:39:08

plus on one misfortune. I think so. No,

1:39:11

because you couldn't be there before. You've

1:39:13

gotten the misfortunes. I couldn't be three before.

1:39:16

Yeah, right. Now I can say if

1:39:18

you had if you had fled

1:39:20

or men's. It was a

1:39:22

menace. Yeah, which in this case, like

1:39:24

it's fine because I think the other

1:39:27

one is going to be

1:39:29

a little bit more. I don't know. Whatever. I

1:39:31

did it. It's you get three misfortune in one

1:39:34

for one fortune. You

1:39:37

know, you know, you got to out there. You

1:39:40

want to make glue. You got to kill a couple

1:39:42

horses in the other phrase. Oh my God. You have

1:39:44

five misfortune. Only one total fortune. It

1:39:47

wouldn't be another. It's going to be another one.

1:39:50

The economy is really bad right now. This is

1:39:52

why you die. I don't want

1:39:54

to. It's too late. Now just got a girlfriend. It's

1:39:57

too late. You can't know it's too late. Yeah, I'm saying this

1:39:59

was. You should have died before you had a girlfriend. Then

1:40:04

it wouldn't have been so sad. Well,

1:40:07

we get to narrate your victory here. So

1:40:12

sorry, I was laughing too hard. I was

1:40:14

now you to narrate your victory here because

1:40:16

you got one victory. You got a five

1:40:18

here, which is one fortune and a boon.

1:40:21

What's the success part of this? I

1:40:23

think they make. So hear, hear me

1:40:25

out on this. I think they make

1:40:27

it to perennial, but the ship's like,

1:40:29

fuck. Um,

1:40:31

kind of like drifting

1:40:34

in space. Fuck. Um,

1:40:36

they're not necessarily going to like. Well,

1:40:40

you succeeded. I get it. You did get a six. Like

1:40:42

I succeeded. Like I got there, but like, I think that

1:40:44

part of the, because there's a, I still take a doom

1:40:46

here. Well, we get to the opposition decides what the doom

1:40:49

is. Right. You decide that. And when you guys decide how

1:40:51

bad it is, draw a card or someone has to draw

1:40:53

a card to see if the doom is. Should I do

1:40:55

that? I'm not going to do that. I'm not there anymore.

1:40:57

So great. I'm not going to

1:41:00

be here. Wealth and resources goes

1:41:02

up to a three. Um,

1:41:05

we'll figure out what that looks like in a second. So

1:41:09

yeah, you make it to perennial,

1:41:11

but you're drifting in space. Or

1:41:15

you can, again, it is a success. You can

1:41:17

narrate the successes as hard as you want. As

1:41:19

long as you get one victory, you can succeed

1:41:21

in the scene. You know? Okay.

1:41:23

Then I guess the ship's probably, it's damaged

1:41:25

and maybe not a completely inoperational, like I

1:41:28

described. Uh, it'll take some time to

1:41:30

fix. One time when I had no money,

1:41:32

I was running out of gas before I got to the gas

1:41:34

station, but I had just enough to run

1:41:36

out of gas while rolling into the

1:41:38

gas. Yeah. Um, there

1:41:40

we go. Thank you. We've nailed it. Which

1:41:43

strands you with one of the

1:41:46

members of the pact of necessary

1:41:48

venture at the center

1:41:50

of the galaxy with perennial. Uh,

1:41:52

did I not kill her when I was lashing out? Oh, you didn't

1:41:55

say you killed her. No, I didn't, but

1:41:57

I could. Uh, you know. Hahaha,

1:42:00

take her like the fish if

1:42:03

you know I'm not gonna say no I'm gonna ask you

1:42:05

what it looks like to know kill one of the There

1:42:10

was a thought in my head where it

1:42:12

was like the way Cory lashes out to

1:42:14

take control of this She just shoots her

1:42:16

in the head cab

1:42:19

driver like I

1:42:22

guess you can drive it yourself, but you're gonna need to do a

1:42:25

cool thing Right,

1:42:31

this is like a little minor version

1:42:33

of Brian killing the apokine

1:42:36

Yeah, I'm feeling the packed member

1:42:38

like Wow Brian

1:42:40

once again, I'm assuming yeah,

1:42:42

everybody's Wow. Everybody's discussing. So

1:42:44

must just like whoa

1:42:47

crazy You

1:42:49

know I think this is this is big in

1:42:51

the sense that it leaves the pact of what

1:42:54

was the pact of necessary venture Down

1:42:56

to its own. There's only one remaining

1:42:58

original member of it On

1:43:01

the on the living human side still around

1:43:03

right motion is back up and at it

1:43:05

I guess but but only rye

1:43:07

that the elective of the divine space

1:43:09

is is left Everybody else has been

1:43:11

killed at this point which

1:43:14

helps us in the vision of fragmented

1:43:16

a bad future You know Also

1:43:19

helps explain part of why this went bad

1:43:21

if you then have to try to pilot

1:43:24

the divine present after killing It's

1:43:26

a let. Oh my god, cuz the divine

1:43:29

is still alive. Yeah, so partly

1:43:31

I maybe why this this goes so

1:43:33

rough is Yeah, you

1:43:35

get there But you

1:43:37

don't it fights you all the

1:43:39

way there, you know, yeah, finally you're close

1:43:42

enough to where like to the point where it's You

1:43:46

have you played FTL ever? So

1:43:48

yeah, you know when it's like oh shit There's

1:43:51

enemies on my ship I need to like open all the

1:43:53

doors to let all the oxygen out and I need to

1:43:55

like set Okay, I can walk them into the room where

1:43:57

the fire is and it's gonna hurt my ship like that

1:44:00

is happening to you the divine present is

1:44:02

trying to like space you you know and

1:44:04

you're like that fits with the Sick

1:44:06

as hell, but you make it close

1:44:09

enough to where like perennials nano machines

1:44:11

are able to reach out like a

1:44:13

giant hand and like Bring you in

1:44:16

to the orb to the big orb and and that's

1:44:18

the last we see From this

1:44:20

in Vegas now in the york. Yeah, sorry

1:44:23

did did we end did you end up doing

1:44:26

the shoot? Yeah? Okay, yeah,

1:44:28

crazy. We wage

1:44:30

this big war against the The

1:44:33

bylaws huh and with with the practice area

1:44:35

right so we just like a murdered Doesn't

1:44:45

make sense it doesn't make sense It's also

1:44:47

very much the sort of like Crusader Kings

1:44:50

approach to statecraft where it's like well now

1:44:52

over here I'm throwing a load of men

1:44:54

at arms and over here. I've simply sent

1:44:56

my assassin to go knife someone Yeah,

1:44:58

these are the kinds of the countries who go to war

1:45:00

against and these are the kind of countries that I just

1:45:02

like kill All of the errors right exactly Cool

1:45:07

That's a lot of misfortune. I'm afraid Yeah,

1:45:11

what could go wrong the doom that

1:45:13

you drew was wealth and resources What's

1:45:17

this mean for Palisade obviously we can

1:45:19

narrate something has nothing to do with

1:45:21

that scene This is a

1:45:23

reminder. It doesn't have to be directly tied

1:45:26

to what just happened Though

1:45:29

one thing that comes to mind here is

1:45:31

maybe arbitrage is Links

1:45:33

to Palisade are not so gone as we

1:45:36

this that was what I that was what

1:45:38

I figured and

1:45:40

I wonder if there is you know, I

1:45:42

think that arbitrage arbitrage is a character who

1:45:44

is like very

1:45:46

often the intricate web weaver But

1:45:49

I think also would like to depict itself as

1:45:51

the intricate web weaver very often And

1:45:53

I wonder if part of what we feel here

1:45:56

is a bit of arbitrage lashing out going

1:45:58

you killed one of my you know I

1:46:00

had an agent in the pact and you just

1:46:02

killed them. So I need

1:46:04

to recover my losses there

1:46:07

on Palisade. And

1:46:10

doesn't necessarily like redouble their efforts, but

1:46:12

I wonder if there is that little

1:46:14

angry sting that's well of resentment from

1:46:16

Arbitrage going, hey, fuck you. Yeah.

1:46:20

Some sort of like, you

1:46:23

know, and maybe it's not even just, maybe

1:46:26

it's not even as simple as it's just on

1:46:28

Palisade, right, because we know Arbitrage spent a lot

1:46:30

of time in the Twilight Mirage, right?

1:46:32

Was part of the divine fleet, was part

1:46:34

of the Twilight Mirage. Maybe it's like, all

1:46:37

right, I'm gonna activate something old, something that's

1:46:39

going to cost you money to deal with,

1:46:41

something that's going to, I'm

1:46:44

gonna release a bunch of,

1:46:47

what is this? This is wealth

1:46:49

and resources. I'm gonna release

1:46:52

some sort of insect that like

1:46:54

chews through trees, or

1:46:57

chews through, or poisons

1:46:59

water, right? Like I'm gonna release

1:47:02

something from Moonlock that flies

1:47:04

across space, lands on Palisade, and is

1:47:06

a bit of a plague to deal

1:47:09

with, you know? I'm

1:47:12

gonna republish the magazine that kills people.

1:47:14

I'm gonna republish the magazine that kills people. Oh

1:47:17

my fucking God. I

1:47:21

love a reissue. I mean, that's the other version of

1:47:23

this is like, the Arbitrage Network

1:47:26

comes online inside of the Twilight Mirage,

1:47:28

right? Is like, it's so convenient here,

1:47:30

you know? It's not called that. It's

1:47:32

called something else here, but it's, you

1:47:35

know, it's like, yeah, it's like when

1:47:38

an app gets like a different name in a

1:47:40

different region, or when something gets like re-released, but

1:47:42

it's just, all it is is the name change.

1:47:44

It's not called Glint anymore. But this is like

1:47:46

Old Cinder Buffet and Hometown. Right, exactly. It's not

1:47:48

called Glint anymore. It's called

1:47:50

Glimmer, and everyone loves Glimmer. It's

1:47:53

replaced Glint as the currency

1:47:56

de jour, but it's

1:47:58

just fucking Arbitrage again, you know? something

1:48:01

like that. Arbitrage's web is deeper than we

1:48:03

thought it was, I think generally what that

1:48:05

might mean.
