Subterfuge and betrayal! As the Clone Wars rage across the galaxy, none can be trusted as friends become enemies, enemies become friends, and even the Jedi Knights cannot be trusted.

During their missions to root out Jedi corruption, a team of SBI agents received dire warnings - visions of Jedi usurping the Republic's governors, and rumors of Sith infiltration of the Senate.

Seeking advice, the agents confided in the masters of the Almas Academy, who promised aid in exchange for discretion about their controversial activities....

SPEAKER_00 0:00

Hey everyone, thanks for listening to Star Wars Empire Wreckers, a Star Wars actual play podcast, which means phrenology is back. Who's ready to rank the races today?

SPEAKER_07 0:10

I don't think Callisette's ready to rank the races today, but she's got a bunch of weird lumps on her head if you want to check it out.

SPEAKER_02 0:18

Uh Hello, Jean-Lapello. Uh Chris Hunt, and um I may be a interpretation of a douchebag cancelable man uh comedy star of the early 2000s, but even I would not go there.

SPEAKER_03 0:34

Starzan is the most gifted of all. Given the powers of the Staroid, he will destroy all others.

SPEAKER_04 0:46

Hell yeah. And while Illyria hasn't known very many other chists before, uh, she has no reason to believe that they may or may not have some genetic advantages over the other races.

SPEAKER_07 1:01

Oh, Elyria's going there.

SPEAKER_00 1:06

And if you're ready to make a stand that I thorians should be buffed, why don't you come along with us to a long time ago in a galaxy far, far away in Star Wars? Subterfuge and betrayal! As the clone wars rage across the galaxy, none can be trusted as friends become enemies, enemies become friends, and even the Jedi Knights are under suspicion. During their missions to root out Jedi corruption, a team of SBI agents received dire warnings, visions of Jedi usurping the Republic's governors, and rumors of Sith infiltration in the Senate. Seeking advice, the agents confided in the Masters of the Almus Academy, who promised aid in exchange for discretion about their controversial activities.

SPEAKER_07 1:47

Right, because it was like the Sith Temple or something.

SPEAKER_00 1:50

Yeah, there was a big There was a buried Sith Temple that the Masters of the Almus Academy used a passing comet to destroy, because it turns out their Academy was uh essentially a scarecrow for the dark side, and none of their students had the force at all, so they could not be corruptible.

SPEAKER_04 2:07

Oh yeah. And we said starship crash or something?

SPEAKER_00 2:11

Yeah. We said that a rogue freighter knocked a comet out of orbit and crashed into the planet rather than the truth, which was that the Almus Masters pulled it down to try and destroy the Sith Temple to prevent it from falling into the hands of evildoers. And in exchange for them uh potentially getting you some help from uh some high-ranking Jedi, you submitted a falsified report.

SPEAKER_02 2:37

I mean, when you put it like that, you feel it seems as though it's gonna come back to bite us in the ass.

SPEAKER_07 2:43

Listen, sometimes you have to practice corruption to root out corruption.

SPEAKER_04 2:48

Yeah, it was for the greater good.

SPEAKER_07 2:49

The greater good.

SPEAKER_04 2:51

The lesser of two weevils.

SPEAKER_07 2:53

The lesser of two weevils. Oh shit, we got weevils on the ship.

SPEAKER_04 2:59

Hell yeah, baby, that's a master and command reference.

SPEAKER_00 3:04

So shortly after uh returning to Coruscant and submitting your report, so short that you don't even uh have any more credits from your stipend.

SPEAKER_07 3:13

Oh I'll never get I'll never save up enough to get a gun.

SPEAKER_00 3:19

You do receive a message uh from Agent Grey, not to come up to the Careth for a new mission, but saying that they've been summoned, that you guys have been summoned to the Jedi Temple, uh, and that he would be coming to pick you up.

SPEAKER_07 3:35

Oh, fun. Oh, are we gonna get our lightsabers back today? I mean, we we wanted to go and try to talk to Yoda, anyways.

SPEAKER_00 3:43

He pulls up in a uh Republic gunship outside of your building, and he like gives you like a kind of a terse nod when he sees you. Uh, and he he doesn't he seems like not super happy. Uh but we're so fucking good at what we do, though. Hello, uh agents. Um, how are you?

SPEAKER_07 4:06

Uh wa wait good? Are you okay?

SPEAKER_00 4:09

Well, this is this is uh unusual normally. The uh Jedi don't make these kinds of requests about our personnel. We've been allowed a certain degree of autonomy.

SPEAKER_07 4:19

Well, you know, we're all we're all allies in this war, right? We're all all sticking together.

SPEAKER_00 4:26

Yes, but your job is to make sure the Jedi aren't doing anything they shouldn't be. The Jedi are asking to see you, that seems a little look. I'm not saying that it had anything to do with anything you've done recently. It might. Uh, I received your report about what happened on Almus. Now, as you guys know, the Jedi were kind of wanting to get that school shut down. The fact that it turned out to be something uh that had nothing to do with the Jedi at all, maybe they don't like that. Look, how tight is your paperwork? Because I'm thinking that any inconsistencies, anything that you guys left out, anything uh that may have seemed inconsequential that maybe came up later, I'm just concerned that the Jedi might be using that as an excuse to get our operation shut down so we stop looking into them. Who would be handling our paperwork, Illyria? You're the smart one.

SPEAKER_04 5:22

Uh-huh, education? Yeah.

SPEAKER_07 5:25

Unless, you know, filing a false report would fall into the realm of skullduggery. A deception.

SPEAKER_04 5:31

Maybe just didn't hand in a paper that said IDK freighter crash.

SPEAKER_02 5:35

Shrug, shrug emoji. IDK a s a ship or something.

SPEAKER_04 5:41

Just don't worry about it. IDK my BFF freighter.

SPEAKER_00 5:45

But if you guys were honest and forthright, then they shouldn't have any reason to come after us. So you guys have been pretty honest about things so far. So I think we shouldn't. What was that?

SPEAKER_07 5:58

No, no, he wasn't laughing in French.

SPEAKER_02 6:01

Sorry. You said something that sounded uh sounded like duty, but in French.

SPEAKER_00 6:07

I thought uh I said something that sounded like Fortnite and you were uh laughing about the new uh Space Brina carpenter skins.

SPEAKER_02 6:15

Uh yes, I am part of the Sabrina car S Sabrina Space Enger Army. What's her name? What did you say her name was? Space Brina. Space Spaceena.

SPEAKER_04 6:27

Space Barina. Space Brina Carpenter Mechanic.

SPEAKER_06 6:31

With her hit song Espaso. Tap calf.

SPEAKER_04 6:36

But we get our our stuff back that we asked for last time.

SPEAKER_00 6:40

I haven't exactly submitted the request yet since this whole thing has kind of been happening. I just wanted to uh make sure that this situation was resolved first to make sure that, you know, you have a higher chance of actually getting that stuff back.

SPEAKER_07 6:54

Oh yeah, yeah, definitely.

SPEAKER_00 6:56

And uh didn't want didn't want this to to taint things.

SPEAKER_04 7:00

What are they gonna do?

SPEAKER_07 7:01

Ask the Jedi on that planet and can okay, can I roll perception on Gray? Cause it's like I I'm sort of getting the feeling like it is Gray's a dude, right? Yeah. Gray's a he okay. I'm getting the feeling like he knows that we lied and he's trying to like he's doing the cop thing where he's trying to go to telling the truth. But I'm like, I don't know. Could I try to get a read on him? Yeah.

SPEAKER_04 7:28

He came in and said, hi guys.

SPEAKER_07 7:31

Yeah, like you seem real tense right from the start.

SPEAKER_00 7:35

Uh, so this would be uh against his cool. Okay. You guys are low on destiny points. I'll give you a destiny point. Uh well, you're not that low. I'll give you one anyway. Um this will be against a red and two purple.

SPEAKER_07 7:48

Ooh, well, evenly matched. Do I have anything that helps me with perception? I mean, if I get a despair, I might re-roll, because I have natural hunter, but two failure, one advantage.

SPEAKER_00 7:59

Uh, so you can't get a read on him, but with the advantage, like it does seem like his big worry is like the program getting shut down, so it might just be that. But you you you can't really tell either way.

SPEAKER_07 8:12

Yeah. Yeah, yeah, you know, Gray, you just seem a little more more on edge than usual. Like you said it, we've all we've been honest and forth right up until this point.

SPEAKER_02 8:20

What do you what do you what do you think? Well, like, if it's if uh school isn't causing any harm, uh but they also but they're also not the highest rung, I feel as though even the low uh even the least funded schools deserve the highest education, you know?

SPEAKER_00 8:40

Well it's not about this school getting shut down. Honestly, if they're not hurting anybody, I don't care one way or the other, but like you're not the only team we've got out there. You're the only team with your particular abilities, but uh we do have other agents that are looking into uh other Jedi, and I don't want to color things one way or the other, but the Order's losing a lot of Padawans, not all of them are getting killed if you get my drift.

SPEAKER_07 9:05

What do you mean? I don't know if I do get to drift.

SPEAKER_02 9:08

Are they going to the dark side?

SPEAKER_00 9:10

Some of them. Uh uh Dooku's got more than a few acolytes under his thumb.

SPEAKER_02 9:16

Oh no.

SPEAKER_00 9:17

Oh, there's a few, even a few knights and former masters that we've been keeping tabs on that are a little worrying.

SPEAKER_07 9:26

I just I just feel worried about we can't afford the program getting shut down.

SPEAKER_00 9:31

Yeah, I'm just especially with the war, I'm just worried a little bit about Jedi Overreach.

SPEAKER_02 9:35

Are you saying that that's the the fact that you say that that is some things we have to worry about is concerning.

SPEAKER_00 9:43

Well, not everybody can uh crush your skull with their mind. And uh the fact that we've put our military in the hands of the people who can, uh I don't know. That seems a little dangerous. We just have to watch them. Oh. We protect the protectors.

SPEAKER_02 10:01

What watch the Watch the Watchmen? I mean Jedi.

SPEAKER_00 10:04

Well the Jedi do have sector watchmen from time to time. We may have to watch some watchmen. Zo's especially need to be watched. But look, whatever this is about, I trust you guys. You're one of the best teams we have. You've uh taken care of some uh pretty volatile situations, so uh I don't have any concerns that this is gonna be fine. So just he's he's he's lying.

SPEAKER_07 10:31

Well I'm like, okay, it's I I I don't doubt that uh he's lying about like I have no concerns about this, but I am like, are you just trying to butter us up by being like, you're the best team we have?

SPEAKER_02 10:44

Why why are you why why are you sweating so hard?

SPEAKER_07 10:47

Yeah, you're turning like real dark grey around your neck and armpits.

SPEAKER_00 10:51

Yeah, well I'm just I'm just a little nervous. This is a very new pro The Jedi have been afforded a lot of leash over the past thousand years. They've saved the galaxy on more than a few occasions. I just I don't think they're used to being observed this closely, and I don't think they're used to having to follow the rules other than their own, which you four are more than familiar with.

SPEAKER_02 11:14

Have we have we ever had I I I'm sorry to spring this on uh uh question like this on you, but I'm genuinely curious, has there been uh points in time where the Jedi Council has been compromised to the to the point where we must worry?

SPEAKER_00 11:31

Historically, I mean you go back far enough, um, from what I've read uh about the old Republic, most of the Sith Lords who troubled the galaxy in the past did have their start as powerful Jedi.

SPEAKER_07 11:51

I mean, like, uh, Gray, I I don't why you take this the wrong way, but the way you're talking about, like, because like we've who who is the summons from, like, within the Jedi? Was it anyone specific? I wasn't told. Okay, well it's like, look, I I don't mean to to undermine your concerns, but like, I'm kinda getting the impression that maybe you're not used to spending a lot of time around Jedi? Cause like, we're s yes, we were service core, but like we did work pretty closely with Jedi, and it's like, you know, on the whole, the people that we're dealing with are, you know, aberrations. They aren't they aren't the rule.

SPEAKER_02 12:30

I giggle to myself when she says on the whole, but I hope that he doesn't notice.

SPEAKER_00 12:36

On the whole and in the hole. Again, that's why it's important to have you guys on the job. A lot of our other teams, uh, aren't as willing to give their assignments the benefit of the doubt. Well, I'm not necessarily worried about you guys, but you guys set the tone, you set the example. Some of our other teams, when they if they make mistakes from time to time, that can be chalked up to inexperience with the situation. But if they can find fault with the way you're doing things, then they maybe have grounds to take action.

SPEAKER_02 13:13

It was legitimately scary when you changed the word when to if. Are you saying that we're gonna make a mistake that will cause us trouble?

SPEAKER_00 13:23

No, I'm saying that uh some of our other teams uh maybe aren't as operating at as high a level as you are.

SPEAKER_07 13:30

Now yeah, just trying to butter us up, I think. Mr. Greyachama.

SPEAKER_02 13:35

I have a uh uh what do you call it, a praise kink, so uh bring it on. Tell me I'm good, daddy. Tell me I'm good, daddy.

SPEAKER_07 13:46

Oh, is we there yet?

SPEAKER_02 13:49

Uh Trapian!

SPEAKER_07 13:51

As soon as Chris starts doing that, just like, where's uh are we getting off now?

SPEAKER_00 13:56

No, I mean not you, Chris, but you can come in once once Chris starts showing his camping supplies, uh starts pitching a tent there in the speeder, the the Republic gunship can land uh outside the Jedi Temple. And there are uh a couple of Jedi Temple guards that are waiting for you.

SPEAKER_02 14:18

Hello. Hello, Bonjour. Bonjour.

SPEAKER_00 14:21

And one of them says, You can come with us.

SPEAKER_02 14:24

Ooh, we can come with them.

SPEAKER_07 14:26

Chris, my boy. He's just so he's just so I know I know we came straight from the mission to hear, but like as soon as we're out of here, you gotta go find a friend. I do have to.

SPEAKER_02 14:36

I I I I I uh found a friend, but unfortunately we haven't spoken to her in a while, and I uh didn't get her email.

SPEAKER_07 14:46

Maybe like call her up, you know. You you gotta have other like booty calls that you can Anyways, we're following these gods.

SPEAKER_00 14:53

You can uh follow those guards. Uh and when you do, the gunship takes off uh from the Jedi Temple. Maybe it's going to circle the block, maybe it's uh maybe it's not coming back. You you can't be sure.

SPEAKER_07 15:05

Hey, Grey didn't come with us, right?

SPEAKER_00 15:07

No, Grey stayed on the gunship.

SPEAKER_07 15:09

Okay.

SPEAKER_00 15:10

The Jedi Temple Guards, they are wearing their white, gold trimmed robes, carrying their lightsaber pikes with their masks. You can't see their faces, they seem stoic as statues. They don't really talk to you or tell you where you're going. But eventually they do stop outside of a chamber that looks like any other chamber in the Jedi Temple, and the door opens, and it seems to be a meditation chamber. You can see in the room it is quite dark. There are like the slat lightings uh along the walls that give it kind of that noir feel that a lot of the Jedi meditation chambers have. And there is a robed Jedi that is kneeling on one of those circular sort of chair cushions that they use to meditate on. Do we uh recognize this Jedi? Not from not from this close. It is quite dark. You can't really make out his features. He he looks like he's uh like a middle-aged human man though.

SPEAKER_07 16:09

Ooh, maybe it's Mace Windu.

SPEAKER_00 16:11

It could be Mace Windu.

SPEAKER_07 16:13

I will wait quietly until he's done. Quietly and respectfully.

SPEAKER_00 16:18

Uh, you can stand outside and he says, Come in.

SPEAKER_07 16:20

Oh, okay. Yellow.

SPEAKER_00 16:22

You can you enter the door shut behind you, sealing you in there with him. As you get closer to him, you can see it's not Mace Windu. I don't know if any of you would know him necessarily. Could we roll something to see if we knew him? Yeah. I don't think this would be a lore. Might be a knowledge core world. Um might be a perception to see if you've noticed him around. Probably probably knowledge though, because it's more likely that you'd be aware of him more than have met him. Two purps? Uh say this probably gonna be a three purple and a black knowledge core worlds.

SPEAKER_06 17:01

Okay. Uh two failures, one threat. One success, one threat.

SPEAKER_05 17:06

Three failures. Uh okay.

SPEAKER_00 17:09

Two failures and an advantage. Starzan. You don't know him. You got threat. So you can kind of see this guy. Uh, from what you can see, this is a Jedi who has seen a fair amount of action. He's got like this big long scar, like his eyes are kind of in shatter, but one of them you can kind of see it's got this big long scar running through it, and uh his eyes are closed, but you can't tell maybe he doesn't even have it anymore. So it seems like this guy's a pretty tough customer as far as Jedi go. Where he suffered a pretty strong injury. Uh Chris, you got an advantage. You don't know him either, and you can see in the darkness, he's got the front of his he his hair is like pulled back into like a ponytail. It's streaked with grey, he does seem to be, you know, kind of on the older side, but the front of his hair like is not long enough to be pulled back into a ponytail, so it's like he he seems like a tough customer, but he's also just rocking like a full-ass actual mullet.

SPEAKER_02 18:16

Hell yeah. That sounds he sounds like my kind of guy.

SPEAKER_00 18:20

Yeah, he may he may be a party in the back kind of guy. So maybe maybe he's not there for him.

SPEAKER_07 18:26

We love a guy who knows how to party in the back.

SPEAKER_02 18:29

I I give him a a knowing smile, an approving nod.

SPEAKER_00 18:33

Hell yeah. Kala, you don't know this guy one way or the other. Illyria, you do recognize him. Uh you recognize him as a Jedi master named Tholm. Tholm.

SPEAKER_07 18:46

Tholm.

SPEAKER_00 18:47

Yeah. Tholm is a pretty kind of storied Jedi. You know that he was um he was the sector watchman of uh the Kifu sector for a while, and he's been here and there, and he's kind of known as a Jedi that is not somebody that is very open. He's kind of like nobody knows that much about him, uh, unfortunately. You know that he was like, he fought on Geonosis. There's rumors that like at one point, like earlier in the war, he fought Count Dooku. That may have been where he got injured. But from what you've heard of him, because you got that threat, he's not a Jedi who has a lot of friends.

SPEAKER_07 19:35

Maybe we can be his friends. Probably not.

SPEAKER_02 19:40

This man knows how to party in Zebek. Wean I can I can get through to him. I can fix him.

SPEAKER_07 19:48

Anyone with a mullet and you're like, my love!

SPEAKER_02 19:52

You're you're like, I get you. I was once a child with a mullet. They called me the next guy space lifleur.

SPEAKER_07 19:59

If uh if Elyria mentions the name with the rest of us be like, oh, Thum.

SPEAKER_00 20:06

He can whisper all that stole. And he says, Yes, uh, I am he. Uh Master. And he kind of stands up uh from his meditation, and you can hear that at least one of his legs is also prosthetic.

SPEAKER_07 20:22

I'll bow when he approaches. Oh, you don't need to do that. Oh well f fuck me, I guess.

SPEAKER_04 20:31

That's okay.

SPEAKER_02 20:32

Just you know, no not to do it again.

SPEAKER_04 20:35

Do Jedi bow to each other?

SPEAKER_02 20:37

Yeah. That's a good question, actually.

SPEAKER_07 20:39

I think they do when it's like a master, someone more high ranking, like when they enter a room. I'm trying to be respectful. Oh what the fuck are you- You're asking me? I was in the I was here the least of amount of time. And I've been gone for 15 years, and you fucking chuckle fucks are asking me. Sorry, Master Thum. Uh, that was a bit of an outburst.

SPEAKER_00 20:59

Lyria, you I uh From you, I I would expect such a thing, but I would uh anticipate that the Padawan of Yattle would be more familiar with Jedi customs.

SPEAKER_08 21:09

Ooh. Oh shit.

SPEAKER_02 21:12

Oh fuck, he just knows you. Oh shit. He just pegged you, man. I wouldn't take that shit if I were you. I'd go kick his ass for uh Jedi Come on, Illyria, go fight him in the alley.

SPEAKER_04 21:30

It's been a while and uh yeah.

SPEAKER_00 21:33

That's fine. That's fine. Uh but yes, you are correct, I am Master Tholm. I don't know what you've heard about me, but whatever it was is either wrong or completely accurate.

SPEAKER_07 21:45

Yeah, that's most things, Master.

SPEAKER_00 21:49

He's trying to be mysterious. Continue. He's really leaning into the mystery, you can tell.

SPEAKER_02 21:54

Uh and he says he's really about it. Is he is he like uh does he have his hood on and And does he keep strategically hiding his face?

SPEAKER_00 22:02

Well, no, you can see his mullet, so he doesn't have the hood on.

SPEAKER_07 22:05

At some point is he gonna be like, we have to find out why this is happening and for what reason.

SPEAKER_00 22:11

And he says, a friend of mine at the Almus Academy told me that you four were being troubled by visions, and he told me a little of what those visions contained.

SPEAKER_07 22:23

Oh yeah. Yeah, I got pushed Chris forward, they're just like, that's your guy.

SPEAKER_02 22:27

Oh, for fuck's sake.

SPEAKER_07 22:28

Yes, I've I'm sorry the rest of us aren't getting brain blasted, Chris.

SPEAKER_02 22:34

I I didn't ask to be brain blasted. I just wanted to have a good time, and then all of a sudden I'm all I'm in this shit with all of a sudden the Jedi might not be uh might not be good, or all of a sud all of a sudden, like we might be in uh trouble for something. We don't know what's going on because nobody tells us anything.

SPEAKER_07 22:53

Well I'm sorry, Chris. Some days you get finger blasted and some days you get brain blasted. Say la V! You gotta roll with it. It can't always be finger blasting.

SPEAKER_02 23:04

It goes to show you never can tell. Uh yes, it was me that was uh getting brain blasted by future fingers. Mindfingers. Mind fingers.

SPEAKER_06 23:16

Isn't that a Bond villain? From the future.

SPEAKER_02 23:18

Mind finger. What what what what was it that I saw again?

SPEAKER_00 23:22

It was like the Jedi storming into the Senate building, lightsabers out, in apparently trying to kill uh high-ranking members of the Senate.

SPEAKER_02 23:34

Um, I I I don't know what this means. I don't know if uh it was implanted in my brain as a lie or as or if this is a vision of Zitrus. I don't even want to be responsible for this stuff, but from what I saw, it seems as though the Jedi might have been or will be responsible for basically uh what what's the phrase I'm looking for here? The fall of the Republic? The fall of the Republic and uh a little bit of mutiny, uh as it were.

SPEAKER_07 24:09

Yeah, because I I think that like when you got brain blasted, it was also like you know with absolute certainty that this is a true thing that you were seeing.

SPEAKER_02 24:17

I don't want to say that it was an absolute true thing because I don't know if uh because if I say that it's a true thing, and if I'm wrong, then I'm crazy, and then they put me in the cuckoo bin.

SPEAKER_07 24:28

Oh, Chris, it's okay. You don't have to worry about fool looking foolish in front of us if that's your concern.

SPEAKER_02 24:34

We already think you're looking for my freedom.

SPEAKER_07 24:36

Ah, your freedom to party, and that comes along with looking foolish. Sorry, Masty, he's telling you story. The story, his story, you listener.

SPEAKER_02 24:45

Do do you think listen, I I saw z I saw these visions, and they were vivid. They were so r they felt very real, and I don't know what that means, and I'm just wondering if there's a path forwards that we can take in order to figure out what's going on with my brain fucking.

SPEAKER_00 25:09

Well, for what it's worth, I believe that the visions you saw were of a possible future, but the future is always in motion. We can never say for sure what is going to happen, but you saw Jedi potentially leading an insurrection against the Senate.

SPEAKER_02 25:26

Insurrections, that's the words I'm looking for. Ah, yes.

SPEAKER_00 25:29

Ah, fuck. And I, along with some others, have been investigating Dooku's claims that the Sith have infiltrated the Senate.

SPEAKER_02 25:39

Go on. Can I may may I ask if I may? Uh why is this happening to me? Did I touch something? Is this uh something that's happening? Can I- Is there a way I can make it stop and do you want the visions? I could give you the visions if you tell me how.

SPEAKER_00 25:56

Well, it sounds like your encounter with Jerek was the impetus for the visions. When he was connected to the power of the Valley of the Jedi, he was able to do much more than a standard Jedi could. But now that I believe you freed the soul's trap there, we no longer have access to its power, and any visions of the future now reside solely within your little wrinkled brain.

SPEAKER_07 26:22

Seems a little back-handed. I mean I'm anyways.

SPEAKER_00 26:25

I could say his brain is smooth, if that would be preferable to you. No, you know why that's kind of rude, but anyways, continue. But as I was saying, we do have some investigations happening on our end. I know you work for the SBI, but the Jedi have been investigating Dooku's claims as well. And we do have certain agents that have been attempting to infiltrate his inner circle to see if there was any more information that could be ascertained about the identity of this Darth Sidious that he claims is controlling the Senate.

SPEAKER_07 27:02

Oh, infiltrating Dooku's in a circle. That's why there's the Padawans that have been turning up as Dooku's acolytes.

SPEAKER_00 27:10

Remember what Ray was saying? The Padawans are not part of our operation, but they do give us cover to insert somebody that we trust. Like who? An old apprentice of mine, uh Jedi Knight by the name of Quinlan Voss, has recently activated a safe house here on Coruscant that I monitor. He was sent to become uh Tuku's apprentice, if he could, to find out anything he could from the Count about this Darth Sidious, and if he's back on Coruscant, then maybe he has something to share with us. For security reasons, I can't contact him directly, but we know that the SBI has been keeping an eye on certain fallen or defected Jedi, so it wouldn't be unexpected for a team of the SBI's agents to track him down and see what they could learn from him.

SPEAKER_07 28:04

Yeah, I mean we could um investigate Quinn Linvas as as if we were looking into a uh a rogue Jedi.

SPEAKER_00 28:12

He is deep undercover, however, which means that even if he knows why you're there, even if you explain to him what you're doing.

SPEAKER_02 28:22

He can't say we can't say anything because uh he's undercover and he can't blow his cover.

SPEAKER_00 28:28

He may not react to you in the most friendly manner.

SPEAKER_07 28:32

You guys got like a code word or something?

SPEAKER_00 28:34

No. In order to protect the operation, we gave him the mission and no other information. We trust him to complete it. He's done these kinds of missions before.

SPEAKER_07 28:44

I I don't know, I just feel like a code phrase would have been like a uh a good doesn't matter now.

SPEAKER_00 28:50

A code phrase could be taken from his mind by Dooku. Dooku is a powerful Jedi master. We wanted to give him as little as little leverage as possible to use against Voss.

SPEAKER_07 29:01

Okay, but like if the code phrase is just like, I love pork fried pancakes, it's like he what does he pull that out of his mind? He's like, ah, gross, whatever. It doesn't matter. It doesn't you know what I'm yeah. We could go find him.

SPEAKER_00 29:15

Good. And if you find anything out about Dooku or if Voss has learned the identity of this Darth Sidious or any clues, then you can return here and tell me.

SPEAKER_07 29:27

So that sounds good with everyone else.

SPEAKER_02 29:30

That uh seems reasonable to me. You see ca um is there anything I know he's mysterious and everything, but uh can I roll something to see how trustworthy uh he is? I don't know, like I I am untrustworthy of anybody these days, so I wouldn't mind I wouldn't mind doing like a a roll like that.

SPEAKER_07 29:53

Does he seem like uh if he didn't need something from us, he would call us dropouts.

SPEAKER_00 29:59

Does he actually respect us? Would this be, do you think, uh do you want to see if he's lying to you?

SPEAKER_07 30:04

Yeah. Or is it just against two? hiding something or leaving something out.

SPEAKER_00 30:15

So this will be against a two red. Uh you don't know him that well. A couple of you did get threat about him, so he may be kind of intimidated. Um so we'll say if you got uh threat under initial assessment, so Illyria and Starzan, you would add a black. Chris, he you you noticed his mullet, he's not that intimidating to you, so you can add a blue. Oh yeah.

SPEAKER_07 30:34

And that would be perception?

SPEAKER_00 30:35

Yeah.

SPEAKER_07 30:36

Okay.

SPEAKER_02 30:36

Two red. A success. Uh success and an advantage.

SPEAKER_07 30:43

I got one threat and one triumph. Two failures, one advantage.

SPEAKER_04 30:48

Two red and a black or two black and a red?

SPEAKER_07 30:50

Two red and a black. Two red and a black.

SPEAKER_04 30:51

I don't want to do this.

SPEAKER_02 30:53

You don't have to. I mean, you could yeah. If you want, you can like Chris did get success and advantage.

SPEAKER_07 30:58

Yeah, if you're a big baby.

SPEAKER_04 31:00

Um, I'm not very perceptive. I kind of take people at their word, I think.

SPEAKER_02 31:05

Yeah, especially this Jedi here.

SPEAKER_07 31:07

If it's a Jedi, you're like nothing, nothing to read into.

SPEAKER_04 31:11

I got too cunning.

SPEAKER_07 31:12

Well, you wouldn't want to read into this Jedi who uh, you know, called you out as being the Padawan of Yattle who didn't know you were supposed to bow to masters. I'm just trying to go to you. You don't have to. That was incredible.

SPEAKER_04 31:25

Two people like bow to each other in like a Japanese respectful way or in like a monarch way.

SPEAKER_07 31:31

I feel like it's like in a in a respectful way. They do the hip bow, just the hey, how's it going? Yeah. They're not like, you know, sweeping the floor or anything, but Okay, I knew that. I knew that. I know you did, Elyria. I know you did.

SPEAKER_02 31:46

Did you know that? Did you know that though?

SPEAKER_04 31:48

Yeah, I'm the pet one.

SPEAKER_00 31:52

Anyways, that's her dice full, I think. Okay. Uh so Chris, uh, you can see, like, he, although he does kind of put forth like kind of a mysterious air, you really get the sense where it's like, this guy, the scar on his eye definitely came from a lightsaber. Probably also that's how he lost his leg as well. You've you guys have heard the stories that he fought against Dooku. This guy, if anybody is gonna be legitimately like trying to take that motherfucker down, it's gonna be him. Like, as much as Jedi like don't are like don't get attached, this guy, it seems like they picked this guy specifically because he would be dogged on this mission.

SPEAKER_07 32:34

Because Dooku unattached from his leg and his eye.

SPEAKER_00 32:39

Kala, you got uh threat with triumph.

SPEAKER_07 32:43

Yeah.

SPEAKER_00 32:44

You can sense that there is like there is more coming from him. Uh it's not necessarily good news. You can't tell if he's like lying, but you get the sense like, okay, Gray wasn't allowed in. This is a secret mission, he's a Jedi master, he knows who you are.

SPEAKER_07 33:05

Yeah.

SPEAKER_00 33:05

So probably if this mission he's sending you on might be something that he doesn't want the SBI to know about. And there may be something coming where it's like he has to kind of give you a little bit of a punishment to make it seem legit.

SPEAKER_07 33:21

Okay. Although it was kind of mentioned, just like, yeah, you didn't yeah, you know, you know SBI, you didn't bring a handler in here. I just feel like there might be something else coming.

SPEAKER_00 33:33

You would be correct. Voss is a continuing asset for us. We don't want his cover to be blown on this mission. If you ha if he has any information for us, he can pass it along and continue doing what he's been doing. So I have done some investigating, and it seems like your handler uh has uh some drafts sitting on his data pads to try and recover some personal information for you. Now, unfortunately, we have to have a reason to have called you here, and that reason is going to be a very apologetic rejection of that request.

SPEAKER_07 34:14

I I assume that also means the uh the request for our personal effects as well.

SPEAKER_00 34:19

Yes. The entire thing will have to say no at this time. Well, I guess.

SPEAKER_07 34:25

I don't suppose that's like we're gonna officially say no, but you're gonna slip us the stuff that we were asking for just like right here, right now, does it?

SPEAKER_00 34:33

I'm an upstanding Jedi Master, I couldn't do that.

SPEAKER_02 34:36

What if you pretended to be an unupstanding Jedi Master?

SPEAKER_00 34:42

There are three people who know about this operation in the temple. Now, there are seven. It was just myself, Master Windu, and Master Yoda, and now you four.

SPEAKER_07 34:53

Oh wow.

SPEAKER_00 34:54

If you pull this off, then Master Yoda and Master Windu would be incredibly grateful for your assistance.

SPEAKER_02 35:01

Ah, I see what you mean, and Zenzei will allow us to get our shit back.

SPEAKER_07 35:05

Well, we'll see where the wind takes us, but you know. Okay. Maybe maybe that's where the wind will take us.

SPEAKER_02 35:11

So basically we have to infiltrate uh infiltrate Z guy's mission while he's undercover, gather information from him, make sure he's not gonna be a bad gu uh a bad guy.

SPEAKER_00 35:24

I trust him not to be a bad guy, but of course, the dark side is pervasive. I don't know how much he may have actually fallen under Dooku's sway.

SPEAKER_07 35:35

So you're also concerned that uh he might have gone too deep, so to speak.

SPEAKER_00 35:41

The thing he pretends to be may have been the thing he has become.

SPEAKER_07 35:44

Interesting, interesting.

SPEAKER_00 35:46

When was the last time you've heard from him? Shortly after the war began, so uh several months at this point. But again, Voss is a skilled Jedi Knight. He's done these kinds of missions before. He even went undercover uh a decade ago. Do you remember when they discovered Knight Skywalker on Tatooine?

SPEAKER_09 36:06

Skywalker on Tatooine.

SPEAKER_00 36:08

He was there, you'll remember. He saw it happen, he saw Master Jinn in need of assistance, offered nothing. He's saying this as it's if it's a compliment. When he sees the fellow Jedi in need, if he's on the job, he's not gonna do shit. Is that something?

SPEAKER_07 36:27

Guy's a pro. That's something alright. Um, you know, if uh if it does turn out that he's he's gone too deep and he's not particularly uh open to speaking with us, are there any abilities, uh, you know, things about him that we should be aware of going in?

SPEAKER_00 36:43

Quinlan is a kifar and he does have the Kiffar ability to read the history of objects.

SPEAKER_07 36:51

That doesn't include living people, right? Is he gonna objectify us like that?

SPEAKER_00 36:55

Well, uh, if there are any experiences you've had that are baked into your very bones and he manages to get his hands on you, he might.

SPEAKER_07 37:03

Hey, don't let him touch our bones. He got it. My skeleton saying stafe in my body. Can't get it.

SPEAKER_02 37:13

Make sure that if he pulls his uh hair, it's up and not out.

SPEAKER_08 37:17

Why is he pulling your hair, Chris?

SPEAKER_00 37:22

It could also prove to be advantageous if there is information you need to pass to him discreetly. He would be able to read a message from an object if you implanted something somehow, formed a strong memory with an object.

SPEAKER_07 37:39

Hey, what there's no need to do this, there's no reason to do this. But I like the idea of us, like, before we go down there, we just like buy something innocuous, and it's like, let's implant a memory, and we all hold it together and we all focus really, really hard on the mental image of Chris just sh bouncing on it crazy style. Just just shaking that ass like it owes him money, and then be like, here, look at this. Uh, there's no need for it.

SPEAKER_02 38:13

I don't know why you would come up with this, but uh okay.

SPEAKER_07 38:17

Chris, you're the You're like, you're our you're our sociable party friend. If anyone's if we are gonna have the mental image in the canon of anyone just dropping ass, I feel like it's gonna be you.

SPEAKER_02 38:32

The heat. That's fair. That's very fair.

SPEAKER_07 38:35

We've all seen you do it.

SPEAKER_02 38:37

I like to shake it like polo pictures.

SPEAKER_07 38:40

We know, and you do it so well, Chris.

SPEAKER_02 38:42

I do it so well.

SPEAKER_07 38:43

He does it so well.

SPEAKER_02 38:45

I do it so well.

SPEAKER_07 38:46

Yeah, anyways, Mast, I feel like we've taken up enough of your time. Okay, so you're gonna refuse our request, and we're gonna go look into this guy, uh, you know, discreetly.

SPEAKER_00 38:56

Discreetly, you will need to come up with a reason to visit the Gestel Hotel.

SPEAKER_07 39:01

Where's that, the Gestel Hotel?

SPEAKER_00 39:03

Well, uh, you are for young, rambunctious people. The Gestel Hotel, you will find it across from uh the popular Outlander nightclub in the Uscru Entertainment District.

SPEAKER_07 39:15

Fuck yeah, dress up episode. I love a dress up episode. Aw, hell yeah. Starzan, get ya get ya fancy loincloth. The one with the sequins! Now try to put your sad faces on. Oh yeah. Oh, oh man, this is the worst. I can't believe this happened.

SPEAKER_00 39:33

No.

SPEAKER_07 39:33

Do we have to roll anything to have convincing sad faces?

SPEAKER_00 39:36

Uh, well, maybe when you return to Agent Grey. Okay. So he he lets you go, and uh, when you return to the temple entrance, escorted by the temple guards, the gunship returns, and uh Grey sees you and he says, How bad was it?

SPEAKER_02 39:54

Uh surprisingly, um, he wants us to do a job.

SPEAKER_07 40:01

Chris, you're so funny. No, it was really bad.

SPEAKER_00 40:04

Alright, give me a deception. You can throw a black on there for Chris.

SPEAKER_05 40:07

Chris!

SPEAKER_00 40:08

Chris blurting out that you were giving a secret mission that the SBI's not supposed to know about. Try and play that off as sarcasm.

SPEAKER_06 40:17

You wanted to hire him as a uh party planner.

SPEAKER_00 40:20

So uh that will be against three purple and a black.

SPEAKER_07 40:25

Three purple and a black. What do we have for Destiny?

SPEAKER_00 40:28

Uh, you have four.

SPEAKER_07 40:29

I'm gonna flip one to uh get a yellow on that. Hang on. Fucking Christ, bruh. If I failed it. You are so fucking lucky I got one success. Chris! Your neck is safe? I swear to fucking god. Yeah, no, it was sorry, Chris. You know, he likes to be positive and no matter what, but no, it was it was uh not gonna lie, Gray. It was fucking bad. He's uh he's denied our requests. We don't Elyria was really looking forward to getting that information, you know, not to mention the the lightsabers.

SPEAKER_00 41:03

Well, it could have been worse, I suppose.

SPEAKER_07 41:05

Well.

SPEAKER_00 41:06

But um, you know, uh still with the SBI, you have been with us for a year, so we can still give you that that paybump, that 5% pay bump.

SPEAKER_07 41:14

Oh, nice. Okay. Does that mean we still get a stipend? Because I think we're gonna have to do some partying tonight to uh drown our sorrows.

SPEAKER_00 41:23

That sounds like a good idea, honestly.

SPEAKER_07 41:25

Yeah, shit, I thought so.

SPEAKER_00 41:27

Yeah, look, uh, it is um, you know, a week early, but uh let me let me forward that to your accounts now. Takes out his data pad, and you each get uh 500 credits plus five percent. That's five. Yep, an extra 25 dollars.

SPEAKER_07 41:44

Wahoo! Wahoo! We're partying. That means I have 525 credits, oh boy. All my money got stolen. Uh thanks for that, Gray. That's uh that's really gonna help us, you know, recover. They feed us.

SPEAKER_00 42:01

Yeah, the the 500 is on top of your uh necessities. Okay, sweet. That's your walking around money.

SPEAKER_07 42:09

Yeah.

SPEAKER_00 42:10

Swinging up money.

SPEAKER_07 42:11

Yeah, but you know, like, you know, maybe just you can just drop us off at our uh a condo and we we I think we need our alone time. He does drop you off at your condo for your quote unquote alone time. Once we're private, it's just like Chris, I'll fucking kill you if you do that again.

SPEAKER_02 42:28

Chris, I will slap you. Uh the dude uh wouldn't have cared. So it would have been a punishment to do another dub. You divides.

SPEAKER_07 42:36

I just okay. We're gonna we gonna go to the nightclub, go to this hotel, see if we talk this guy.

SPEAKER_00 42:42

Yeah, so are you are you do you have club attire that you wear? I think I think I've got it. Yeah, Lyria, do you have club attire? I don't think I do.

SPEAKER_04 42:50

Uh probably what do I got? Uh banal apparel?

SPEAKER_07 42:55

That's close enough, right?

SPEAKER_04 42:56

No one touched me in this club.

SPEAKER_07 43:00

Well, what would it be if we wanted to get something something some dress-up clothes?

SPEAKER_00 43:05

Uh well what what kind are you are you looking for? Are you looking for like uh because there is a performer's attire. I don't know what kind of performance you're planning on on giving or uh We're going for looks.

SPEAKER_04 43:17

Lucky real slutty.

SPEAKER_00 43:19

We're certainly up. Yeah, I don't know if there's if there's anything specifically that you would need for like gear. Okay. It would be just narrative clothing. We buy our slut gear. Yeah.

SPEAKER_04 43:31

Slut gear.

SPEAKER_00 43:32

Whatever whatever you usually use when you go out on the town.

SPEAKER_04 43:36

Banal apparel. Just like Elyri, you're dressed up.

SPEAKER_00 43:41

I am dressed up. Look like a moisture farmer.

SPEAKER_04 43:45

I'm wearing the the Chanel boots. Are those the Chanel boots?

SPEAKER_06 43:49

Would it be fashionable to wear some sort of body paint? Ooh.

SPEAKER_07 43:53

I mean, you do wear like your your star paint, don't you? Yeah, exactly.

SPEAKER_06 43:57

Yeah.

SPEAKER_00 43:57

More tackles.

SPEAKER_07 43:58

Like now it's going all over. Oh, nip! Hell yeah, Starzan.

SPEAKER_00 44:02

Going full ultimate warrior.

SPEAKER_07 44:04

You can flex and make them spin.

SPEAKER_06 44:06

They can do tricks.

SPEAKER_07 44:07

Oh yeah.

SPEAKER_06 44:08

They call me Torcules.

SPEAKER_00 44:10

Oh Speedo the color of a highlighter.

SPEAKER_06 44:15

Perfect.

SPEAKER_00 44:16

These hair is teased and feathered.

SPEAKER_06 44:18

Oh my god, it's so big. Oh, Regal purple. There you go. Bright purple. Violet color from out of space.

SPEAKER_04 44:27

I will wear all black instead of the blue of the Survey Corps or whatever the fuck.

SPEAKER_07 44:33

Blend into the shadows. As you would do at a nightclub. Look at you, Elyria, all dressed up and not wearing the Service Corps outfit.

SPEAKER_00 44:46

Thank you. So once you've got your uh attire, your club going attire, you can probably rent a taxi higher speeder down to the lower levels where uh the entertainment district is. And as you approach, you can set down. You can see it is quite uh crowded at night if you're looking to lend in. Though down there on Coruscant, uh it's so deep that it is night all the time just because of how how low it is. So when are you going? Because it is kind of like all hours situation.

SPEAKER_02 45:21

It's shadier at night, and I feel like it would fit the vibe of what this episode is going for if we go at night, so let's go.

SPEAKER_00 45:27

Like it is it is kind of eternally night down there just based on how how deep it is.

SPEAKER_07 45:32

Because I I feel like whenever we're leaving, we would probably want to time it for like whenever the little gunship that spies on us isn't near our apartment.

SPEAKER_00 45:43

So like you did say that you were gonna you did tell them you were gonna go clubbing.

SPEAKER_07 45:47

Yeah.

SPEAKER_00 45:48

Potentially.

SPEAKER_07 45:49

We did put that out in the world.

SPEAKER_00 45:51

Yeah.

SPEAKER_06 45:51

I didn't see it's it's oops.

SPEAKER_00 45:53

But you're more of a more of a like a populated uh time of day when you can sort of blend in.

SPEAKER_07 46:00

Yeah.

SPEAKER_00 46:01

So after after hours, after the workday is done, you can head down there, and there are a lot of sort of yuppie type people that are milling around trying to get their jollies and what have you. Uh the Outlander nightclub is across the street from the Gestel Hotel where you've been told that. Jedi Knight Voss has uh activated one of Tholm's safe rooms. So as you're s as you kind of get out of the speeder, you can see that it is crowded. It will be easy to blend in here. Uh there is a like a Balisar street preacher loudly on a megaphone outside the club telling people to repent and go home and rethink their sinful lives.

SPEAKER_07 46:50

Ugh, making us all look bad.

SPEAKER_00 46:52

Kind of guy who used to be a sleaze bag but uh has changed his ways.

SPEAKER_02 46:56

I reca I recognize the sea sleaze bagginess, and I'm like, is that going to be me? Oh no.

SPEAKER_07 47:01

Well, you plenty of fine space Jesus at some point?

SPEAKER_00 47:05

I hope not. Yeah, if you if you wanna if you wanna buy any death sticks, you'll have to find somebody else.

SPEAKER_07 47:10

Ah shit. Shit, how long has it been since I've had any any impact?

SPEAKER_00 47:14

Give me a uh resilience. Give me a three purple resilience.

SPEAKER_09 47:17

Oh uh three purple. Oh, where's my resilience? God, why is my resilience?

SPEAKER_00 47:24

Or discipline. Discipline, please, discipline. Yeah, this would be your your mental fortitude rather than.

SPEAKER_07 47:30

Yeah. I don't have a physical addiction. I can stop whenever I want. Three purple, you said? Yeah. One success, one advantage. Okay. I've been doing my meditations, okay?

SPEAKER_00 47:40

I've been doing good. Been doing good. So you're not you're not tempted by any of the vice that you see uh around you.

SPEAKER_07 47:48

Hell yeah. If I choose to engage with this, it is entirely because I wanted to. Not because I had to.

SPEAKER_02 47:56

So we go to the party.

SPEAKER_07 47:57

Yeah, because there's like the nightclub. We need to get to the hotel that's across from the nightclub, but like, what if, okay, what if the four of us, we like just have milled in the crowd so it looked like we were there, and then we all go like shambling over to this hotel that I assume charges by the hour because it's directly across from a nightclub. Oh yeah. And we're like, we need a hotel room for four adults who are all drunk. No particular reason, just give us give us the hotel room for like two hours, and then we go and find the safe room.

SPEAKER_02 48:29

Uh we swear it's not We swear we're just in a polycule.

SPEAKER_07 48:34

Yeah, it's not an orgy.

SPEAKER_00 48:37

So something wrong happening. Uh if you want to are you going to be deception to pretend to be drunk, or is it gonna be resilience to actually get drunk?

SPEAKER_07 48:49

Uh well, it's probably gonna be resilience for me, but Chris is not resisting the vice. Yeah.

SPEAKER_00 48:55

Who's who among you can pretend to be drunk and who among you will need to actually be methane?

SPEAKER_02 49:01

Actually get drunk to sell it. Either, so yeah. I mean it either deception or uh uh.

SPEAKER_07 49:08

I mean my deception.

SPEAKER_02 49:11

Blacks on deception, it looks like. My deception is sorry, go ahead. Uh no, no, I thought I uh had chosen something else. Sorry, go ahead. You you you first.

SPEAKER_07 49:20

No, I was just saying, like, neither are great, but my deception is better than my resilient, so it's probably best for Callusette to remain sober sober, but Elyria and Starzan. Must you uh must you get drunk to sell the bit? Do we?

SPEAKER_06 49:35

I don't know, do you? I will uh I can I can make a big enough scene without being intoxicated.

SPEAKER_00 49:43

You can do deception? Yeah, Starzan's got a pretty good resilience, so it may take him a while to actually get drunk. That's fair.

SPEAKER_04 49:50

Can I roll um uh a medicine because I uh have observed the effects of intoxication before.

SPEAKER_00 49:58

Roll me uh roll me a uh two-purple medicine.

SPEAKER_04 50:01

Hell yeah. At least I'm better at talking in real life than my character is. Sorry, what was that?

SPEAKER_00 50:06

Two purple medicine.

SPEAKER_04 50:07

Two purple, woo! Two success with triumph. Oh my god, oh my god. Wait, two success, two triumph, two threat.

SPEAKER_00 50:16

Two triumph, holy fuck. So the th the you have an excellent uh two success, two triumph, you have an excellent case study in front of you. Um because now this is now it may get a little bit of threat, because the most annoying people in the galaxy have started making their way down the street towards uh the nightclub. Because not only is uh the is Gestel Street home to the Outlander Nightclub and the Gestel Hotel, it is also home to the Revwian Comedy Academy Playhouse. So coming down the street is Improvisers! A feral mob of improv students who have just gotten out of a practice and are coming to the nightclub to ply their trade. Tonight the Outlander Club is not just a nightclub. Tonight, the Outlander Nightclub is also a Denny's at two in the morning.

SPEAKER_01 51:21

Oh my god.

SPEAKER_02 51:24

You know, uh there's a whole presentation that I saw that was titled Should We Forgive Theater Kids? And no.

SPEAKER_07 51:32

Oh, not only improv people, but improv students!

SPEAKER_02 51:37

Going to the city.

SPEAKER_07 51:38

Not even the masters of their craft.

SPEAKER_04 51:41

So do they do like uh game-based improv, like uh Oh god, are they like walking towards the long form?

SPEAKER_07 51:50

Are they walking towards the nightclub and the Denny's and like they're clearly all like missing their bits with each other?

SPEAKER_00 51:58

They're still on.

SPEAKER_07 52:00

Oh I don't like that.

SPEAKER_00 52:05

Now, you got two triumphs. If you need a distraction, if you need to take advantage of people who are desperate for any kind of attention or approval, you have a group of like six to ten young hungry idiots who could potentially be very easily manipulated.

SPEAKER_07 52:31

Yes, and all you all you have to do is like you hear one of them say something and be like, ha ha ha, and then you can just like fucking Pied Piper them into the hotel with us. You're just like, yes, and just follow and they'll make a big ruckus so we can get in with no notice. Are you gonna weaponize these kids, Illyria?

SPEAKER_04 52:53

Yes.

SPEAKER_02 52:54

I uh if you want, I can try. Uh what what would be better? Deceiving them to go into our uh room or uh or into the hotel? Or uh should we uh uh or can or is there a way that I might be able to charm them and be like, hey, why don't you guys hang out to us in a hotel room? We're an improv group from out of town. Well, wait, that's still lying.

SPEAKER_04 53:17

My uncle is space carry. Space carry host of whose space is it anyway. Space line is it, anyways.

SPEAKER_07 53:27

My my uncle is uh Colin Spacery.

SPEAKER_02 53:31

Colin Spacery.

SPEAKER_07 53:33

Uh because like if we could lure them into like the lobby of the hotel, and it's like, oh yeah, man, like you're looking for a stage. There's a bunch of people just hanging out in there who are just like bored out of their skulls.

SPEAKER_04 53:47

And then like this open mic night in here.

SPEAKER_07 53:50

Like, we probably wouldn't even have to try to get a room. We could probably just walk past. Lure your children, Elyria.

SPEAKER_04 53:57

Or don't then I'm I'm thinking.

SPEAKER_07 54:00

Thinking.

SPEAKER_04 54:01

Am I Oh god, I'm not good at talking to people. Fuck.

SPEAKER_00 54:05

Well, Illyria noticed them. Any b anybody could could lure them.

SPEAKER_04 54:09

My negotiation. Hey kids, get in here.

SPEAKER_07 54:13

As long as you can't.

SPEAKER_04 54:15

I'm forceful about it. Get in here.

SPEAKER_02 54:18

Uh hello, hello, my friends. Oh, you you seem as though you guys are the people who like to uh who like to party.

SPEAKER_00 54:27

And they're like looking at each other like like pointing like me, him, you, him, him? You are you're you're a uh a handsome, wealthy Falline. These are improv students. Uh gangly, weird looking, like not not a looker in the bunch.

SPEAKER_02 54:46

Guys, I'm I I'm put I'm putting together a sw a soiree in the hotel. And I'm and I don't have enough I I don't have enough people, but I feel as though with the power of improvision and additional comedy, then we can uh then we can uh get more people and pu and possibly have the best night of our lives.

SPEAKER_00 55:10

These guys are like minion level, so uh So this would probably be a charm.

SPEAKER_02 55:17

Hell yeah.

SPEAKER_00 55:18

Uh this would be a charm against They're cool now, these are improv students, right? So they're not very cool. Well, I'm gonna they're they're pre- they they don't have a high presence yet. So uh they are a minion group though. So we'll say uh that this will be we'll say they have some ranks of cool as a group, because they have to make this group decision. So we'll say that this will be against two reds. Two reds? Yeah.

SPEAKER_02 55:45

Two success two success and two advantage. Hell yeah.

SPEAKER_00 55:49

They kinda they look back and forth at each other and they kind of like huddle up and whisper, and uh one of them kind of s sticks his head up and out and he says, uh, yeah, our streaming service just folded, so we're kind of looking for a new gig right now if you got one.

SPEAKER_02 56:06

You're looking for an additional streaming service, or you're just looking for uh some kind of money?

SPEAKER_00 56:11

Because, you know, I I don't have a streaming service on me, but uh Well, I mean our classes are kind of expensive, so just like if you got a gig for us, we'll we'll we'll go.

SPEAKER_06 56:21

What kind of streaming service could us dropouts have?

SPEAKER_02 56:24

Uh uh J just comes this way comes this way. We're uh not not ever uh nothing has star started yet, but we are on our way. Uh and then uh let's let's fucking um what's the guy with the flute? Pied Piper, these motherfuckers to the hotel.

SPEAKER_07 56:43

Chris whips a flute out of his pocket like follow me.

SPEAKER_02 56:48

No, I pull out like a pret like a like an air a pretend flute and I'm starting a scene with them. Oh they love it! And they're they kind of dance and follow me as well.

SPEAKER_00 56:58

They do they immediately start pretending pretending to be rats and and other rodents.

SPEAKER_08 57:08

Yeah!

SPEAKER_02 57:10

Hell yeah. What are we doing with these guys again, sir?

SPEAKER_07 57:14

We're getting them in the hotel lobby to uh cause a distraction.

SPEAKER_02 57:18

Okay. Alright, yeah, no, I can cause a distraction with these guys.

SPEAKER_00 57:22

So you can uh bring in all of these human rats, and by that I mean improv students into the lobby of the hotel. We need to give them a location and an occupation. Hotel lobby, occupation, rat.

SPEAKER_01 57:35

Rat.

SPEAKER_00 57:38

No one wants rats in a hotel. And uh the clerk behind the desk sees you miming playing a flute into the hotel and these gangly, awkward, barely out of high school improv students uh doing feeble attempts at uh rat-like posture, and you can see that she just dies a little inside.

SPEAKER_07 58:03

The light just drains from her eyes.

SPEAKER_02 58:06

Okay, everybody, we need a suggestion. Please, quickly tell us what is a location? Does anybody know what a location is?

SPEAKER_07 58:14

Oh, uh Tatooine!

SPEAKER_02 58:16

Tatooine! Ah, we got Tatooine. Okay, so Tatooine, then we need an occupation.

SPEAKER_07 58:22

Uh yeah, Cantino!

SPEAKER_02 58:24

I'm sorry, Elyria. Jesus Christ, that's in. Uh what about you, what about you? What did you what do you have? Uh Okay, Cantino Order, whatever.

SPEAKER_03 58:34

Champion of the Starzarians.

SPEAKER_02 58:37

Um, what what what else do you uh uh what else do you people ask for when doing these improv scenes?

SPEAKER_00 58:44

That's okay. We've got it. We can take it from here.

SPEAKER_02 58:46

Okay.

SPEAKER_00 58:47

Do you want me to join in with you or Chris give me the discipline to avoid becoming an improv comic?

SPEAKER_04 58:58

He's finally got his fucking chance.

SPEAKER_00 59:01

He's gonna yes it in this way.

SPEAKER_02 59:03

What's the uh what uh what's the dev roll?

SPEAKER_00 59:07

Uh well together the this will be uh against their charm. Um they have no ranks and charm yet. Uh so this explicit presence, which is uh too purple. Oh it seems like you want to do it, so we'll give you a black.

SPEAKER_02 59:20

Oh Chris. Oh, I can take away Oh wait, no, that's uh deception, never mind. Uh oh, I got a success, so I guess I'm not doing improv today.

SPEAKER_00 59:29

You're not you don't get reverse pied piped.

SPEAKER_02 59:33

You pipe too close to the side. I don't know, I don't know how this is supposed to work. I don't I figured I was supposed to join in in this kind of party, but I've never had this kind of party before. I get nervous when I don't know what's going on, but uh let you guys do what you need to do.

SPEAKER_00 59:48

So they start uh their scene, one of them like barges his way over to uh the clerk's desk and starts miming, like cleaning the bar and like pouring drinks, and one by one they they they all enter, and I don't know, I don't know what kind of style of comedy this guy's been practicing, but the guy pretending to be the bartender has like a racist remark for each one. Like unless it's like, hey, get out of here, we don't serve drinks to droids, and then it's like, hey, get out of here, everyone know I don't need any of you flat-dicked Rhodians. And like all the improv students are humans.

SPEAKER_07 1:00:28

Okay, let's see if we can slip right on by that front desk.

SPEAKER_00 1:00:33

Yeah, the the front desk clerk is like trying to get uh the quote unquote bartender to uh go around to where the customers have to be. Uh like she starts like calling security. It's it's a whole thing.

SPEAKER_07 1:00:45

Excellent. Do we even have clouds?

SPEAKER_00 1:00:47

Some of them are still being rats.

SPEAKER_07 1:00:52

Tatooine Cantina would be complete without some rats.

SPEAKER_00 1:00:56

They like and the rats start like kicking, yeah, like they start kicking tables over trying to be womp rats.

SPEAKER_07 1:01:04

I just can't imagine the canteen.

SPEAKER_00 1:01:06

But if there's these huge fucking womp rats, uh and apparently there's some like womp rat musical that they all start singing incomprehensible songs from.

SPEAKER_04 1:01:16

Oh my god!

SPEAKER_00 1:01:18

A womp rat musical? Yeah.

SPEAKER_04 1:01:20

Yeah, from the fucking space talk wompatouie.

SPEAKER_07 1:01:26

Um, I feel like this is just like a targeted attack on all the former theater clerk.

SPEAKER_00 1:01:31

One of the womprats like jumps up on the bar, start grab, like the clerk is like a tweelec. He grabs her Leku and starts like pulling on him and is like, look at me, I'm Wampatooie.

SPEAKER_07 1:01:44

Jesus Christ, that it feels racist. Okay, let's go. This has nothing to do with us anymore.

SPEAKER_02 1:01:52

The they're in God's hands now.

SPEAKER_07 1:01:55

I don't think God has anything to do with this. God's like, you're on your own. God is dead, but yours especially. Uh okay, let's go.

SPEAKER_00 1:02:05

You can you can go. So with security occupied, uh you don't need to roll stealth if you want to like avoid any of the hotel security. So you can um just try and find uh the safe room wherever you think it might be.

SPEAKER_07 1:02:21

Okay. Did did we get a room in the hotel or just uh Yeah, he said it was room 327.

SPEAKER_06 1:02:27

Wait a minute. What? Is that from the shining?

SPEAKER_07 1:02:30

Is it? Is that the shining room? No, that's 2237.

SPEAKER_06 1:02:34

Oh I didn't I didn't I didn't want to overlook an Easter egg there. No.

SPEAKER_00 1:02:38

327 is just one of those Star Wars numbers that comes up a lot. Yeah. It's 1138 for hipsters.

SPEAKER_07 1:02:46

1138's too mainstream.

SPEAKER_00 1:02:48

Yeah.

SPEAKER_07 1:02:49

So of course you chose it. But okay, let's see if we can find this room. Cause also, like, uh what the fuck was his name? I I keep thinking Thud because his name sounded like the Thalm.

SPEAKER_01 1:03:02

Yeah.

SPEAKER_07 1:03:02

His name sounds like the a a thumping noise or like the whirring of a spaceship or something, thalm. Cause Thalm mentioned that this guy could detect like thoughts from objects.

SPEAKER_00 1:03:16

Yeah, yeah, psychometric abilities.

SPEAKER_07 1:03:18

Yeah. So, like, before we go in, would we want to like just all concentrate on something that's like, oh, Thalm sent us, it's cool to talk. So m if that might be a more compelling message than us just using our words to say that. Look, I got a pack of cigarettes. Everyone focus on it. You you you say his name name is Thalm?

SPEAKER_00 1:03:38

Thalm is the guy who sent you. The guy you're after is Quinlan Voss.

SPEAKER_02 1:03:42

Hey, okay. Uh, alright, so like if we go in if we go into the room, it's like, hey, neighbor, you wouldn't happen to have a thumbometer, would you? Thomometer?

SPEAKER_07 1:03:53

Oh, wait, I I think I still have a dose of Gunjack spice we could all concentrate on it and then pretend we're drug dealers. Just like, hey man, it's a sample, and like toss it to him. I think that's a great idea.

SPEAKER_00 1:04:06

Like your your drug dealers who go to the wrong wrong uh room.

SPEAKER_07 1:04:09

Yeah, and just like slap into his hand like, hey man, I got the stuff. Got the stuff, man. Yeah. I'll bring out a a dose of gun jack spice. Just everyone concentrate on this. Thalm sent us. Okay.

SPEAKER_06 1:04:22

We resent.

SPEAKER_02 1:04:23

But we have to say it secretly to make it sound cool. Yeah. Yeah, that's the sh that's the ticket.

SPEAKER_09 1:04:30

Yeah.

SPEAKER_00 1:04:31

So this uh would probably be this would be a discipline roll. So who so one of you can roll it and the other three can add a blue for uh how hard you're concentrating.

SPEAKER_07 1:04:42

Who's the best discipline? I have one yellow, two green. I have discipline is two green.

SPEAKER_06 1:04:49

Two green. One yellow, one green.

SPEAKER_07 1:04:51

So I'd be rolling and then everyone else would add blues, do you say? Yeah. Okay.

SPEAKER_06 1:04:55

I'll add a blue. Let's Dahu Dorhe. Is this our game? This is our game's first Dahu Dore? Fahu Dorhe over a power of Gunjack spice.

SPEAKER_07 1:05:04

It's a life day miracle! Drugs!

SPEAKER_06 1:05:08

And that that gunjack spice that was only supposed to last three days. Lasted eight crazy nights.

SPEAKER_07 1:05:16

Wow.

SPEAKER_00 1:05:18

So uh because you've been carrying this along with you, uh, it does already have a lot of your particular memories associated with it. So you're just it's like you're gonna have to overwrite this hard drive, basically.

SPEAKER_05 1:05:30

Okay.

SPEAKER_00 1:05:30

Um otherwise he's just gonna uh be aware of all your foibles. Um, you do a lot of drugs, huh? So this will start as three purple. You'll have to add a blue because you're gonna have to overwrite a a lot of existing memories of yourself.

SPEAKER_07 1:05:46

I mean a black.

SPEAKER_00 1:05:47

Uh yeah, a black. And I'm also gonna give you a destiny point to upgrade one of those to a red.

SPEAKER_07 1:05:54

Okay. So it'll be uh three purple or three blue from everyone else, then red, two purple. Purple on a black. Mm-hmm. Uh we'll see. Ooh. Uh, two advantages, one to spare.

SPEAKER_00 1:06:09

Well then.

SPEAKER_07 1:06:10

That's not what I wanted.

SPEAKER_00 1:06:12

You're not sure if it worked. You c you kinda get the feeling that, like, even, you know, you were carrying it around in your pocket. Like, technically the gunjuck spice was in the meeting with Tholm, like, at the very least, maybe he'll get some of that. You don't know what else is gonna be in there though.

SPEAKER_07 1:06:26

Yeah. Who I think that this worked fine. I don't think that anything bad is gonna c happen if we hand this over to him. Let's just go for it. Let's just knock on the door. You make me worried. Chris, you're a charmer. Be a drug dealer. They're oh, drug dealers are always incredibly charming. We all know that.

SPEAKER_06 1:06:45

You want some spice? Okay. What about some dust sticks?

SPEAKER_07 1:06:50

Well look, Starze looks too healthy to be a drug dealer. Wait, no.

SPEAKER_02 1:06:58

Oh, never mind. Just so you know, I'm uh uh well, okay. I can do this, I can do this. I can di I've dealt drugs before, I can deal drugs again, but uh in higher circumstances, I guess. Wait, what have you dealt drugs? You know, I've I've sold a joint or two to uh friends of mine and sold some oregano to some improv students one time.

SPEAKER_00 1:07:18

Cameron Diaz.

SPEAKER_02 1:07:20

Oh yeah.

SPEAKER_00 1:07:20

I'm getting so high off of this.

SPEAKER_02 1:07:22

Put nutmeg in it to make it really taste bad and tell them that's how you know it's good.

SPEAKER_07 1:07:27

Oh yeah. Why is this burning my lungs?

SPEAKER_02 1:07:31

Alright, I can do uh uh Okay. Who am I selling drugs to, sorry?

SPEAKER_00 1:07:36

Uh the Jedi that you're uh supposed to be meeting.

SPEAKER_02 1:07:40

Okay, so uh I guess I'll go knock on his door and be like, uh hello? Uh uh super special house cleaning? There's no answer.

SPEAKER_06 1:07:50

Super special.

SPEAKER_02 1:07:51

It's super special because this is uh uh it's super it's super special because this is the ha uh this is the house cleaning where it cleans the insides of your nose.

SPEAKER_00 1:08:01

Do you shout that through the door?

SPEAKER_02 1:08:03

Um, not in so many words.

SPEAKER_00 1:08:06

Uh so there there's no there's no answer if you shout through the door. I've got some good shit. No answer.

SPEAKER_02 1:08:13

Can we uh That good shit you ordered? Okay, what's the uh what's the plan now?

SPEAKER_04 1:08:18

Do we break in or I use my lightsaber to burn through the handle. Jesus Christ.

SPEAKER_07 1:08:23

Jesus Christ. Listen, why not?

SPEAKER_04 1:08:25

We have the right room, right?

SPEAKER_07 1:08:27

327. Okay. That could have been a despair.

SPEAKER_02 1:08:32

Uh alright, yeah. If you want to burn through the door, let's burn through the door.

SPEAKER_04 1:08:35

I don't have to roll for this, do I? Oh god, is there someone on the other side?

SPEAKER_00 1:08:40

There might be. Maybe. Either he's there, or he's there and he's not answering.

SPEAKER_02 1:08:45

Uh I'm I'm real I'm really hoping that there's no like booby traps or anything where we opens a door and there's a hair that connects to a grenade that uh f that blasts us forward or back.

SPEAKER_08 1:09:01

Beast call to be my rats. Oh no, don't summon them!

SPEAKER_04 1:09:12

I was trying to see if I had any like hacking gear. I do not.

SPEAKER_07 1:09:15

Stam, you literally could have been the Pied Piper with the beast.

SPEAKER_08 1:09:23

Shit!

SPEAKER_04 1:09:24

Uh Skull Direct- Nope, that's cunning. Hmm, huh, hmm, huh?

SPEAKER_08 1:09:29

Uh, mm-mm.

SPEAKER_04 1:09:30

Uh-huh. I'll be careful. I'll just touch, like I'll just melt the lock. I won't, like, put my fucking hilt up to the door and like impale whoever's on the other side. I'll do it from a distance and just do the tip.

SPEAKER_07 1:09:43

Whoever's just the tip. Just the tip. Just the tip. You won't stab your lightsaber through the eye of whoever's peeping out the people.

SPEAKER_08 1:09:50

Yeah. Anybody home?

SPEAKER_00 1:09:53

So, uh, yeah, you don't need to roll anything to start cutting uh the lock on the door. You can just jam your lightsaber in and melt it so you can just slide the door out of the way. And when you do, you can see that the uh the room is dark, the lights are off. It doesn't seem like uh anybody's got like you don't see any signs of luggage, you don't see any like old meals or anything. It just it seems kind of like uh if you didn't know any better, that it was just like a f an empty hotel room. Except you do know better, and the window is open and the curtains are fluttering.

SPEAKER_02 1:10:38

Oh is he scaling down the side? Is there like uh evidence that he just left like hot food or something? Or can I just look out uh look outside and see if I can see him?

SPEAKER_00 1:10:50

Uh yeah, if you wanna look out the window and see if you can uh spot anything, roll me a vigilance. Vigilance.

SPEAKER_02 1:10:57

Fucking my perception my perception game on all fronts is bad. Uh what's what's the vigilance?

SPEAKER_00 1:11:03

Uh you're trying to catch him, so that'll be against uh three red.

SPEAKER_02 1:11:06

Fuck off. Fuck right off. How many destiny points do we got? You got two. Yeah. I'ma flip one to downgrade a red. Nope. Uh three failures, three uh threat.

SPEAKER_00 1:11:20

Okay, so he he absolutely uh beat that initiative roll. Uh because when you stick your head out the window, he drops down with his elbow onto it.

SPEAKER_07 1:11:34

Oh no! Wait, is he out the window fucking doing a pile driver on him?

SPEAKER_00 1:11:39

Yeah, so uh this guy's gonna do a brawl roll on you. Uh a success, but a threat. So he drops an elbow like trying to hit you. He gets you in the back of the neck, uh, but you can pull your head back in, and he lands like on the fire escape right outside the window. And he kind of lands a little hard.

SPEAKER_07 1:12:00

Stasin, that's probably you if we're gonna get him get him.

SPEAKER_06 1:12:04

I'll reach out and grab him. Scrap the neck. Okay. Like a misbehaving cat. This will be a brawl. Oh, okay.

SPEAKER_00 1:12:13

That's from a Viking. Uh, so this will be against two red and a purple brawl. And he does have defense, so that'll add a black.

SPEAKER_06 1:12:21

Two red, purple, black? Yeah. Okay. I'm gonna flip a destiny. Two success, one threat.

SPEAKER_00 1:12:30

You can uh bring him back inside. As you do, you're just like grabbing him and pulling, so he can still move his arms and legs, which means he can still reach onto his belt, which means that he can still bathe the dark hotel room in a green glow as he pulls out his lightsaber.

SPEAKER_07 1:12:49

Oh god, could I try to shoot the lightsaber out of his hand? We come in peace, we come in peace!

SPEAKER_00 1:12:54

Jedi hunters not likely.

SPEAKER_02 1:12:56

We're not Jedi hunters, we are uh we were uh well I fucking last time I said anything I got in trouble, so.

SPEAKER_07 1:13:06

We we were we are sent by uh Master Thal Thom Thom. Fuck, I need to write that down. Thalm?

SPEAKER_02 1:13:12

Thumb. We're here to borrow a thalm. No, no, that's his bad in this context.

SPEAKER_07 1:13:18

We are sent by Master Tholm.

SPEAKER_00 1:13:20

I don't know any Master Thalm.

SPEAKER_07 1:13:22

Oh my god. Do I give him the gun jack spice just like shoving his hand or something? Uh like physically? I guess. I don't know.

unknown 1:13:31

Alright.

SPEAKER_07 1:13:32

Are you just gonna huck it at him or bounce it off his face?

SPEAKER_02 1:13:36

Why why why why are we sprowing drugs? We should we we should probably try to like uh get him on our side.

SPEAKER_00 1:13:43

Well well the drugs are what you concentrated on to give him the secret message.

SPEAKER_02 1:13:48

Okay. Uh alright, so yeah, I'll I'll be like, uh uh uh plea uh please, I want I want you to take a look at this, and apparently it'll make more things make sense.

SPEAKER_00 1:14:00

He slaps it out of your hand.

SPEAKER_02 1:14:02

Okay, let me try again. I go down and take it up.

SPEAKER_00 1:14:05

And as as he does, as he makes contact with it, uh he there is like a little bit of a change in his demeanor as he's brain blasted by um all of the things, all of the memories associated with that gun jack spice. When did you get that Gun Jack Spice, Kala? You got that from uh that was on the custard gannet?

SPEAKER_07 1:14:27

Yeah, because I was looking for impact, and that was what I found.

SPEAKER_00 1:14:30

Yeah. So uh you had it in your possession uh during the entire mission to deal with the Valley of the Jedi, uh, and you had it in your possession when you did the mission to the Almus Academy.

SPEAKER_07 1:14:47

So you did get- Oh, so it's seen us covering up shit.

SPEAKER_00 1:14:52

Yeah. And he says SBI. That's what I thought.

SPEAKER_02 1:14:55

Uh that's what you thought, and therefore you attack us? That doesn't look good. Uh that doesn't look good on your end.

SPEAKER_00 1:15:00

I just Jedi hunters coming after me.

SPEAKER_02 1:15:04

I'm not a Jedi hunter. We just make sure the sense of Jedi's are still Jedi's. What's wrong with that? Uh-huh.

SPEAKER_00 1:15:14

Oh, I'm still a Jedi, but I'm more powerful than you can possibly imagine.

SPEAKER_02 1:15:19

See, Zet uh shit shit like that right there is why people send us to go places.

SPEAKER_07 1:15:24

Man, so all that stuff about Master Thom, we really didn't get any of that on that.

SPEAKER_00 1:15:28

I don't know any Master Thom. How many times do I gotta tell you?

SPEAKER_02 1:15:32

Okay. Uh uh uh can I roll to see if he's lying?

SPEAKER_07 1:15:37

Yeah, like see if he's if he's on to us and is like trying to maybe communicate in code or something.

SPEAKER_00 1:15:45

Okay, so if you want to see if he's uh lying, uh this will be a perception against four purples. Fuck you. I mean, fuck you.

SPEAKER_07 1:15:55

Sorry, that was too harsh. Fuck you, kindly.

SPEAKER_02 1:16:00

Kindly. Four purple, you say? Yeah. Piece of shit. Ah, fuck me. One success, one threat.

SPEAKER_00 1:16:07

Oh nice. Uh so Chris, you can see that like he's like playing his role. He's playing the role of like the rogue Jedi who's maybe gone to the dark side, who doesn't, you know, he's rejected his past. The threat is that he's dedicated to this role. He he might try to kill you. Of course. Why wouldn't he? You you you have no idea how into his role he is. He's he's a method asshole.

SPEAKER_02 1:16:38

Oh, we've got some act we've got some actors uh in Zieza rooms that you are gonna love. You can maybe even take lessons from them. Listen. We're not here we're not here to uh cause any trouble. We are here uh here to make sure that we're here we're here to make sure that you're doing good. We are uh under express uh express uh orders in order to make sure that every uh everything on your end is going well.

SPEAKER_07 1:17:07

Yeah, like you you don't like Jedi hunters and like look, we we just want any information that you have on Count Dooku because he's killing Jedi, right? We're trying to help protect the Jedi, right?

SPEAKER_00 1:17:17

I don't think I have anything to do with Count Dooku.

SPEAKER_07 1:17:20

Oh, looky, you look like someone who has something to do with Count Dooku. You got that vibe. You've got that Count Dooku vibe. Look how you stand. People who don't deal with Count Dooku don't stand like that.

SPEAKER_00 1:17:31

Yeah, he's he's he's doing like the evil slouch. Like he's he's Kubrick staring at you. He's got like this long, like mass of like dreadlock hair that he's trying to like look intimidating out from under.

SPEAKER_07 1:17:44

Yeah, see that's that's that's like this is just Dooku. I'm like waving my finger up and down his whole deal, just like that's Dooku friend material right there, clearly! Look at ya!

SPEAKER_00 1:17:56

Look, my allegiance is my own. Any thing that I may be doing, I'm doing of my own volition.

SPEAKER_07 1:18:04

Okay, then yeah maybe you just want to give us information of Yovun Volition before we have to make you give us information off of our volition.

SPEAKER_00 1:18:11

I have no master but myself.

SPEAKER_07 1:18:14

Oh my god, this fucking guy. This fucking guy. This fucking cla turn into Chris and just like making the jack off motion, just like this fucking guy.

SPEAKER_02 1:18:24

This fucking guy. Look, I I'm sorry. You may you may look like Brad Pitt, but you don't impress me much. Listen, we're here to make sure that everything is going good. And we need you to please co- uh cooperate with uh with us.

SPEAKER_00 1:18:41

Cooperate, huh? How about you cooperate with this? And he's going to uh attack you guys with his lightsaber. Wait, can I do suppress? Can I do suppress? Roll me a vigilance against his cool. That'll be three purple vigilance to see if you can do it before he does.

SPEAKER_07 1:19:00

Three purple?

SPEAKER_00 1:19:01

Yeah. Let's see.

SPEAKER_07 1:19:03

Yes, because I have an autobag, two advantages, that means it's three success.

SPEAKER_00 1:19:07

Okay, you can uh suppress him. He's not using uh the force to attack with his lightsaber, though.

SPEAKER_07 1:19:13

Uh well I thought, like, what if he was enhanced himself? Well, I mean thought, dude.

SPEAKER_00 1:19:18

Yeah, if he was, this would come into play, but he uh he is not at the moment anyway.

SPEAKER_07 1:19:24

Well, I have duration, so I can roll that and commit it too.

SPEAKER_00 1:19:28

Yeah, so we can.

SPEAKER_07 1:19:29

So he can't keep doing shit. He can't do shit if he keeps trying to attack us.

SPEAKER_00 1:19:32

So his lightsaber roll does get two success and two advantages. So he is able to make an expert series of strikes that destroy any com links or data pads that you may be holding or wearing.

SPEAKER_07 1:19:46

Oh we're so fucking dumb. We're so fucking stupid. He just wanted us to fuck destroy our com links.

SPEAKER_00 1:19:56

And he and then he does he turns off his lightsaber and he says, Oi, look you bunch. I thought Thalm was gonna send somebody who knew how to be a little bit discreet if he was gonna be sending anybody.

SPEAKER_02 1:20:08

He didn't uh uh he didn't really tell us uh shit. He just uh told us to like come and hang uh come and find you and you know what to do.

SPEAKER_00 1:20:16

Well that's good on him, but I thought he would send somebody who's a little bit more uh intelligent. So what kind of what are you? I uh seen that one of you's got a uh a laser sword. You you Jedi's, you Jedi's too. Uh adjacent. Adjacent.

SPEAKER_04 1:20:30

What do you mean we're not discreet? We just created a fantastic diversion to get here.

SPEAKER_07 1:20:35

Have you seen those improv boys downstairs? They are.

SPEAKER_02 1:20:40

Hey, what are the improv people doing right now? What are the improv people doing right now?

SPEAKER_00 1:20:48

Well, you can currently see them being out the door. Yeah, if you look out the window, you can see them being tased and dragged out of the hotel by security.

SPEAKER_04 1:20:57

As they deserve.

SPEAKER_07 1:20:59

Do they like squeal when they get tased? An appropriate punishment for doing improv.

SPEAKER_04 1:21:04

Are they staying in character?

SPEAKER_00 1:21:06

Yeah, they're acting like tased rats.

SPEAKER_06 1:21:09

Perfect.

SPEAKER_07 1:21:12

Look, you gotta hand it to them. They were professionals till the end.

SPEAKER_02 1:21:16

Thank you, you brave soldiers. The Republic will forget about you.

SPEAKER_07 1:21:22

The Republic never knew you existed.

SPEAKER_00 1:21:26

Well look, performance is a performance. I'd say, uh, you know, I wouldn't hire him personally, but you know.

SPEAKER_07 1:21:32

You know, you gotta r we you respect the the commitment to the bit at least.

SPEAKER_02 1:21:36

And we got them for free, and we got what we paid for. You gotta respect a commitment to a bit. Yeah.

SPEAKER_00 1:21:41

Speaking of bit, how's your bit going? Well, shit. Um so did I'm guessing Thalm maintained operational security, didn't tell you anything. Yeah.

SPEAKER_02 1:21:51

Pretty much.

SPEAKER_00 1:21:52

Okay, well, here's the skinny. So I've been investigating Dooku for like six months or whatever. I've been pretending to become uh his top assassin. And I done pretty well. I killed a load of people. But you know, that's not proud of it, of course.

SPEAKER_02 1:22:07

Yeah, of course not.

SPEAKER_07 1:22:09

Yeah, but that would be terrible to be proud of killing people.

SPEAKER_00 1:22:12

He gave me a mission recently. He gave me a mission, and I think he intimated incredibly strongly that his mission is to kill the second Sith.

SPEAKER_02 1:22:21

Oh, the second Sith? What is the second Sith?

SPEAKER_00 1:22:24

Well, you know, there is that one that uh Kenobi killed on Naboo.

SPEAKER_09 1:22:28

Yeah, yeah.

SPEAKER_00 1:22:29

Well, I think there's always two Sith, master and apprentice. We don't know whether that guy was the master or the apprentice, but we know there's one more out there. And Dooku believes that he's the guy that I'm being sent to kill.

SPEAKER_07 1:22:41

So who who is the guy?

SPEAKER_00 1:22:44

Senator by the name of Viento.

SPEAKER_07 1:22:46

Viento. Would we know who that is? Uh Knowledge Core Worlds. Okay. My knowledge is shit, but what's the role? What's the role?

SPEAKER_00 1:22:55

You guys are out of uh out of destiny points. Uh yeah, may as well give us a one if you can.

SPEAKER_07 1:23:01

No, no.

SPEAKER_00 1:23:02

So we'll say a red, a purple, and a black.

SPEAKER_07 1:23:04

A red, a purple, and a black. Elyria, you got this right? Two failures and an advantage. Red, purple, and a black.

SPEAKER_06 1:23:11

Red, purple, somehow. Three success, one threat.

SPEAKER_07 1:23:15

Oh, I got two failure. No.

SPEAKER_04 1:23:22

Two failure, two advantage.

SPEAKER_00 1:23:24

Okay. So, Starzan, uh, success with threat. So, you've you heard of Viento. Now, Viento, the reason you heard of him was because he was in the news where recently where he was present during uh there was a few months back there was an assassination attempt against the Chancellor. Viento was there, like it was at like a function. Uh it didn't seem like all that strange at the time, but it's like, wait a minute, he was there when the chancellor was getting assassinated? Maybe he ordered the hit.

SPEAKER_06 1:24:00

Maybe he ordered the hit.

SPEAKER_07 1:24:02

What is that, Stasian?

SPEAKER_00 1:24:04

Uh Kala and Illyria. Uh Kala, this seems this seems like plausible to you. Uh Chris and Illyria, you got advantage. You don't know Viento, but it's like that seems a little circumstantial. Whereas like there's a lot of senators there who probably had nothing to do with it. You don't know who it was that ordered the hit. If it was anyone, it could have just been like a lone wolf. Uh, you don't know how much trust to put in Starzan's theory, but Starzan, like, that's what you heard about the guy, that he was in the room when someone tried to kill Palpatine, and if he was a Sith, he'd probably want the Chancellor dead if he was trying to take over the Republic.

SPEAKER_06 1:24:40

He was in the room where it happened.

SPEAKER_07 1:24:42

He was in the room where it happened. But also apparently it's circumstantial. Chris and Illyria raise fine points.

SPEAKER_02 1:24:49

Is there anything that we could do to investigate even further? Uh any anything any bit of uh eviden uh anything that we could find that makes something circumstantial into uh cold hard evidence.

SPEAKER_00 1:25:02

I was sent to kill him. So I think if we do that, we figure it out.

SPEAKER_07 1:25:06

Well, okay, like, but you were sent undercover for Dooku, and it's like if this is like what if Dooku's sending you to kill him and it's like, oh yeah, like definitely kill this other Sith Lord and he's just like leading you astray. I don't think. Why would Dooku care about killing a Sith Lord? Like, he's not even a Jedi anymore.

SPEAKER_00 1:25:24

Well, I mean, you've heard the rumors about Dooku. Nope. Well rumors. Look, between you, me, and the bed over there, when Kenobian Skywalker fought Dooku on Geonosis, he had a red blade. So you think that Dooku's a Sith? W maybe. I mean, that's possible. I don't know where he got that weapon, but if he did you know, bleeding his crystal is something that you don't really do unless you're steeped in the dark side. Now, Dooku might believe he's doing the right thing, he might not, but uh you gotta bleeding your crystal, you gotta be feeling the dark side. And you know, trust me, I've felt the dark side in my time. Uh but Dooku, if he is a Sith, would probably wanna off the other guy, if Dooku is just the apprentice. Or if this Viento is Dooku's apprentice, and he wants to make me his new apprentice, then I gotta take out my rival, you know, in character.

SPEAKER_07 1:26:22

Like, okay, I don't know if Callusette would know this. Like, would would we know about this like a cause it's like, oh, there's always two? This guy seems to know about the fact that it's like it's supposed to be the apprentice who kills the master. Right?

SPEAKER_02 1:26:36

So you're saying if you becomes the apprentice, you'll kill the master and then kills the Sith entirely, or and you won't be a Sith yourself? Is that something that can happen?

SPEAKER_07 1:26:45

Because if Viento is the master, then like why would Dooku be sending you to kill him? Like, wouldn't he have to do that himself? You think Dooku could get to Coruscant?

SPEAKER_02 1:26:55

They th do you think Dooku would also play by zeroes?

SPEAKER_07 1:26:58

Well, I don't know. It seems like the sort of bullshit that only matters if you believe in it, and if he believes in it, then like why would he go against it?

SPEAKER_00 1:27:05

Also, Dooku gave me this to do the job. And he pull he reaches into like a little pouch on his belt and he pulls out a little red crystal. And he says, He wanted me to put this in my weapon when I did the deed.

unknown 1:27:15

Hmm.

SPEAKER_04 1:27:17

Well you you got- Can somebody can you tell if somebody has been killed by an evil lightsaber?

SPEAKER_07 1:27:22

Yeah, because like you can you can read the woo-woo on shit, right? Like, do you get a woo-woo off that crystal?

SPEAKER_00 1:27:27

Look, I I know where this crystal is. It's some ancient Sith crystal, we pulled it out of a holocrone. I was there, I saw it, we were on Moraband. Don't worry about it. But you just handed me.

SPEAKER_02 1:27:39

I trust this guy implicitly.

SPEAKER_07 1:27:41

You're like, okay, I won't worry about it.

SPEAKER_02 1:27:43

He said so. Why would I worry about it?

SPEAKER_00 1:27:46

He said not to. Yeah. Why would I worry? Obviously. See, here's the thing. If I take this guy out, if he's just the apprentice, then I replace Viento as Dooku's apprentice. But then I'm in the inner circle, but then maybe I kill Dooku. Maybe get rid of the Sith. If Dooku's the master, look if I can take this guy out. And I planned for this. So tonight, later tonight, there's a banquet. Big Senate thing. Everyone's gonna be there, Chancellor's gonna be there, the senators are gonna be there. I heard they hired some, I don't know, comedy group or something to play. But I don't know if they're gonna be making it.

SPEAKER_02 1:28:22

Oh no, are we gonna have to Are we gonna have to do it? Oh no, we're gonna have to do improv. I can't I I can't bear to like do that.

SPEAKER_00 1:28:29

We will be feeling the dark side. I think this is gonna make it easier to attack him, right? Because Viento's not gonna be able to unleash his power without outing himself. And if he does, and if I fail, then he's outed himself as the Sith Lord in front of everybody and the entire Senate. Win-win.

SPEAKER_07 1:28:47

Okay. Um, I don't want to mismatch your abilities, but I'm just I just want to throw this out there. Is there any possibility that Dooku's onto you has sent and this is like a suicide mission to assassinate a uh a senator in the middle of a crowded thing with a whole bunch of like Jedi gods and shit, and then plant you with the red crystal so it looks like you were a Sith, and then like if you get killed, then it looks like one of the Sith is killed, and then it's like bing bang boom, both the Sith are killed. I just I just want to put that out there.

SPEAKER_00 1:29:17

But look, I need to put myself ahead of Ventress. Have you heard of her? She's another of Dooku's assassins, she's very powerful, used to be uh Jedi Padawan too. Would we have heard of Ventress? She would have come up, probably. In your in your line of work, you probably would have heard of her at this point.

SPEAKER_07 1:29:34

Okay.

SPEAKER_00 1:29:35

Just look, I need to get a pull ahead of Ventress. If I kill a senator, I kill a senator. If that gets me closer to Dooku, that gets me closer to finding out who Darth Sidious is. If it's not Viento. Win win win.

SPEAKER_02 1:29:47

Do you think Dooku? Uh how well how much do you think Do Dooku trusts you right now?

SPEAKER_00 1:29:52

Well, I'd say probably 75-80%. He did give me this gift to pull off the joint. He holds up the crystal.

SPEAKER_02 1:30:03

Okay. Uh I Man, if I was a different character, I would definitely want to inspect that crystal, but uh uh I can't be able to tell if it's like fake or anything like that, I'm assuming.

SPEAKER_07 1:30:14

No, because I have I have seek and that wouldn't give me anything. Yeah, no m I don't think either of my force powers are particularly useful in this situation. Like, I don't know, something about this is is it's twinging me, it's twinging my brain. It feels it feels more like a setup. It feels like maybe you think you're overestimating Dooku's trust in you.

SPEAKER_00 1:30:37

If he is, then pulling off the mission and getting out alive is gonna put me into his good graces and you're gonna trust me more again. Win win win win. I don't see a downside to this.

SPEAKER_02 1:30:48

What if you d Yeah, but if you what if you die, and what if uh none of this stuff happens?

SPEAKER_00 1:30:55

I mean I'm not gonna die. Oh.

SPEAKER_07 1:30:58

You might, you might. If they see you in there with a red lightsaber and it's like, oh fuck the uh the the second Sith, better kill him right now, and we're gonna be done with this problem if he gave you that specifically to set you up so it looks like you're the other Sith and they can just like ye out.

SPEAKER_00 1:31:12

Yeah, but I didn't put the crystal in my lightsaber. I'm not gonna use it, I'm not stupid.

SPEAKER_07 1:31:18

What are you doing with it then? Yeah.

SPEAKER_00 1:31:20

Well he gave it to me. Like, what am I supposed to do? Throw it away?

SPEAKER_07 1:31:23

Wait, so you keep it as a fucking memento? Like, what are you talking about?

SPEAKER_00 1:31:26

When I go back to him, I'm gonna need to have it. He's gonna be expecting me to have a red lightsaber from now on.

SPEAKER_07 1:31:31

Oh, okay. So you're not gonna See, I feel like maybe that was where I was uh having some issues with your whole plan.

SPEAKER_00 1:31:40

I mean if you if you uh No way, I'm gonna be relying on mean green.

SPEAKER_07 1:31:44

Oh, that's what you're calling a lightsaber? Wait. No, oh, oh, no, no, no, you can't do that! You can't do if I j Okay, are you turn to Chris just like Chris, you remember your fucking premonitions. If you cause you're coming in with a lightsaber, you're gonna look like a Jedi murderer and a senator.

SPEAKER_02 1:32:03

Oh fuck. No, no, no, no, no.

SPEAKER_07 1:32:05

You dumb you dumb fuck! You dumb fuck, you can't do that!

SPEAKER_02 1:32:08

Don't do don't do that. I've I've had I've had visions and they uh they're very familiar with what your plan is and uh I feel as though we have to do it a different way.

SPEAKER_07 1:32:18

Like you you're gonna bring a whole a whole bad prophecy into Oh yeah, d wait, did Dooku tell you to use them? You dumb fuck, you dumb fuck. Like fucking hey, you calling us stupid, oh my god.

SPEAKER_02 1:32:30

What was it one Jedi in my vision or was it several Jedi?

SPEAKER_07 1:32:33

Well it was just the Jedi causing the downfall of the Republic in general.

SPEAKER_00 1:32:41

Mason the boys. The Boys. Yeah. The boys.

SPEAKER_05 1:32:45

Mason and Du Boys.

SPEAKER_00 1:32:47

Kid Fisto was there.

SPEAKER_07 1:32:49

Oh, the Boys. Like, but it it's just like a Jedi killin' a senator, killing a senator who's close with the Chancellor. Again, bunch of fucking witnesses. Like, if if you are really dead set on this plan, brother, I think you need to use the red lightsaber. And if you would do not want to use the red lightsaber, like I feel like you need to rethink this plan.

SPEAKER_00 1:33:14

One of us should use a red lightsaber. I noticed that you have one yourself there. Would you be willing to do a little swapsies?

SPEAKER_02 1:33:23

I mean in in in for the greater good, I I feel as though you should uh do a little bit of swappy seas. The greater good, the greater good.

SPEAKER_00 1:33:33

Or, I suppose, we put this lightsaber in there and we uh try and confuse them. Now I don't know if you'd go in for this. But what if we had two red lightsabers? Then they wouldn't know who's doing it.

SPEAKER_07 1:33:47

But then it would still look like there's two Sith there.

SPEAKER_02 1:33:50

Yeah. And Count Dooku would be like, see, I there can only be two Sith, and therefore, uh it can't not be me.

SPEAKER_00 1:33:58

I'm not a bad guy. Alright, so how do you how do you guys recommend we take out Viento then?

SPEAKER_07 1:34:03

Why are we taking out Viento?

SPEAKER_00 1:34:05

Like it's he's a Sith lord. I told him! Yes!

SPEAKER_07 1:34:08

Yeah, yeah, because Dooku told you!

SPEAKER_02 1:34:10

Dooku told you! Also, do you have to do it so publicly?

SPEAKER_00 1:34:14

Yeah, that's what I said. Like, if we do it in public, then he's either gonna have to suppress his power to avoid outing himself, which is gonna make him easier to kill, or he's gonna unleash his power and out himself, which is gonna mean that uh everybody's gonna be on his ass and he's not gonna be able to do his Sith stuff.

SPEAKER_04 1:34:28

Which means you have to kill him in a public place.

SPEAKER_07 1:34:31

Or he doesn't do anything because he's not actually a Sith Lord, because you're basing this on Dooku telling you so.

SPEAKER_00 1:34:37

Dooku didn't tell me he was a Sith Lord, he implied it.

SPEAKER_02 1:34:43

Oh doesn't make it better.

SPEAKER_00 1:34:45

Yes, it does. Because I had to read between the lines. See, I had to assume See, here's the thing. If he told me, I would be suspicious. But because he didn't tell me, that's how I know he's telling the truth. Because he wouldn't just come right out and say it, because that would be too suspicious, and he would know I would he would pick up on that. But because he didn't say it. I feel like we're going in circles.

SPEAKER_07 1:35:07

Um Okay. What if okay, what if what if this, okay? You you're saying you're saying Viento's a Sith Lord. You gotta kill him publicly. When was this gonna have to happen?

SPEAKER_00 1:35:17

Well, the banquet's tonight. Uh that was why I had uh leapt onto the fire escape there. Uh it was uh kind of coincidental that you just arrived when you did.

SPEAKER_07 1:35:27

Oh, so you didn't even hear us knocking about how we were gonna give you drugs?

SPEAKER_00 1:35:30

Oh, I I did, but uh I was kind of trying to get on the m on the move so I had time to actually scope the place out and uh arrive before the banquet started. As it is, we're kinda gonna be fashionably late, I think.

SPEAKER_02 1:35:44

If there's one thing that a party needs is people who are fashionably late.

SPEAKER_00 1:35:49

It's gonna be tough to get into now unless any of uh you know any senators. Do we? I don't know if you know any senators, but you know a senate aide.

SPEAKER_07 1:35:59

Chris! Your booty call!

SPEAKER_00 1:36:02

Yes.

SPEAKER_07 1:36:03

Because, like, what if like we go to the party, we go in undercover, and we try to actually like interact with Viento, get a beat on him, see if he even has the force at all.

SPEAKER_00 1:36:15

Like, you know, I don't know how well that's gonna work, because here's the thing. Dooku, he told me the same thing you told Kenobi, right? About Sidious controlling the Senate. Sidious is so insidious, that's why they call him that, right? I have to assume. You could be right next to him, and you wouldn't even know. How do you think he's managed to avoid detection so long? He could probably be in the same room as Yoda and he wouldn't even be able to figure it out. Sidious can mask his power.

SPEAKER_03 1:36:40

What if it is Yoda? What if Yoda's Oh my god!

SPEAKER_00 1:36:45

Well, I mean, Windu I've considered.

SPEAKER_02 1:36:47

Yoda, no. Okay, well, uh as long as long as you know, okay, okay, that's that's that's fine.

SPEAKER_07 1:36:52

But it's like, you know, you're you you're so you're so good at reading between the lines, maybe if you talk with him you can like or even if you think he's a Sith Lord and it's just like you maybe leave some things to read between the lines that are like, yeah, I'm on your side, baby, like and if he's just like, I have no idea what you're talking about.

SPEAKER_00 1:37:11

Yeah, if well that all depends on if whether or not Dooku has been keeping his mouth shut about his acolytes. See, I think Sidious knows about Ventress. I don't know if he knows about me. That's why I was uh planning to get there early and hide in the vents until I could drop out and stab him in the head.

SPEAKER_07 1:37:28

Oh god, that just sounds so that sounds so grisly when you say it like that.

SPEAKER_00 1:37:32

So I don't know if it's safe for me to show up. Talk to him face to face.

SPEAKER_07 1:37:37

I guess we could show up.

SPEAKER_00 1:37:39

Yeah, you can talk to him face to face, and then I drop out of the vent and stab him in the head.

SPEAKER_07 1:37:44

Like if we give you a signal, right? Yeah, yeah, yeah. Oh, because Chris, you've been getting brain blasted. Like maybe if you just shake hands with the guy, like and see if you get a little brain blast from him.

SPEAKER_02 1:37:59

I can t I can touch his I can touch his f uh his head.

SPEAKER_07 1:38:02

SPEAKER_07 1:38:05

Yeah, you touched in the head, and then you're gonna get brain blasted in the head.

SPEAKER_02 1:38:09

Let's touch him. Gonna touch him. Okay. We're we will talk to him first. We will confirm that he is uh either a Sith or not a Sith. That is the question.

SPEAKER_07 1:38:19

Yeah. Um Oh my god, and if he's not a cr Sith, and then like Chris, you just go around shaking hands with people and seeing if you get a brain blast.

SPEAKER_02 1:38:26

SPEAKER_02 1:38:46

Oh yeah, I hate I I forgot how much I hated being brain blasted. I was just happy being useful, but you know what? Uh uh I could still be useful. It's okay.

SPEAKER_07 1:38:55

It's almost as good as getting finger blasted, Chris. It's fine. I assume I don't know what it's like to be brain blasted, but you know it's useful.

SPEAKER_02 1:39:03

Wait, but you said it's uh it should be as good as being finger blasted. How how what do you think being brain b never mind.

SPEAKER_07 1:39:10

I'm I'm I'm I'm gonna-blast in both the names, they've gotta be similar.

SPEAKER_02 1:39:15

I'm gonna stop with this uh uh line of questioning. I feel like it wants bring us any good.

SPEAKER_07 1:39:20

Yeah, okay, yeah, we were totally uh and we're look, we're already all dressed up. Look at us. Like maybe a little bit slutty for the Senate, but maybe the end to that. Eh?

SPEAKER_02 1:39:29

Alright, it sounds like we have a plan. Alright, let's see if I get brain blasted by Zisworm.

SPEAKER_00 1:39:35

Voss gets back into character. Uh he hops up. Uh the fire escape. He's gonna take his own speeder to the banquet. He can't be seen with you publicly, but you guys can hire a car.

SPEAKER_07 1:39:49

Yeah, Chris, you gotta call up your booty call, right? Oh yeah.

SPEAKER_02 1:39:52

Um, not to be that guy who didn't write her name. What's her name again?

SPEAKER_00 1:39:56

Oh no. Zin Kudri.

SPEAKER_07 1:39:58

That's the name I had written down.

SPEAKER_10 1:40:01

Uh Zin Kudri, uh, contacts, uh, love interest.

SPEAKER_07 1:40:06

I I uh I was gonna went to my uh backstory thing to write down Master Thom and Quinlan Voss, and I'm like, Zin Kudri? Who the fuck was Zin Kudri? No notes, just names.

SPEAKER_06 1:40:18

He's just checking his uh little black book. Yeah. Toby Toby Wall.

SPEAKER_02 1:40:24

Okay. I will uh again, what uh what did we need from her again? Uh sorry?

SPEAKER_00 1:40:29

You need into the banquet. We need into the banquet.

SPEAKER_02 1:40:32

She's a senate aid. Uh I I will uh contact her. Uh hey, you up?

SPEAKER_00 1:40:38

Uh she she messages you kinda busy. Talk later, question mark.

SPEAKER_07 1:40:42

Oh yeah, but was she the one that you successfully seduced by saying you were thinking of starting a podcast? So she must really like you.

SPEAKER_02 1:40:52

Yeah, that's the only time it's ever happened. Uh I I message her back. Is there uh lit listen, I need a f uh I I do need a little bit of a favor if you're uh if you're able to.

SPEAKER_00 1:41:03

Um she texts back another one, and then a couple seconds later, JK L O L.

SPEAKER_02 1:41:13

Listen, we need into uh we need into this banquet. Uh we need uh uh uh invites into the this banquet. So is there any way that you might be uh you might be able to help us out with that or point us to the right direction?

SPEAKER_00 1:41:25

And you see like the three dots pop up and then stop and then pop up and then stop and then pop up and then it just says why.

SPEAKER_07 1:41:34

Oh, send her some eggplant emojis and be like, so you'll be less bored. Imply that you're just coming there for a date.

SPEAKER_02 1:41:42

Uh I I don't.

SPEAKER_07 1:41:44

Like that's a stupid idea.

SPEAKER_02 1:41:46

You didn't Well well there there's nothing better to do on a Tuesday night, lol. Also, we might be uh uh we might be able to save uh save a life, but we need a little bit of a fuller story.

SPEAKER_00 1:41:57

And she says W Y M.

SPEAKER_02 1:42:00

That took me a second to be like, what does that one mean? What does it mean? Oh, what you mean? What do you mean? Um Can we talk over uh a sacred line?

SPEAKER_00 1:42:14

And she says, sorry, Big P just got here. Um presumably.

SPEAKER_06 1:42:21

You know why they call him Big P, right?

SPEAKER_02 1:42:24

It's because when he spells his name, he spells it with a big P.

SPEAKER_00 1:42:28

That's the only reason. It's like the start of a fairy tale. Literally, every time he signs his name is a big elaborate P.

SPEAKER_02 1:42:35

It's because he spends a little bit longer in the bathroom than he should.

SPEAKER_07 1:42:38

Oh man, there he goes, taking a big P again.

SPEAKER_02 1:42:40

Ah, what a bastard.

SPEAKER_07 1:42:42

Listen, I'm just saying, Chris, I feel like if you sent her a picture of your ass, I feel like it could work in your favor.

SPEAKER_02 1:42:47

I'm not sending her a picture of my butt. Uh, okay. Uh uh, what should I tell what should I tell her? What am I- What am I allowed to tell her at this point?

SPEAKER_00 1:42:56

And and she says, uh, she texts back, sorry, this fucking improv group is a no-show.

SPEAKER_08 1:43:04

Oh, we can replace them.

SPEAKER_02 1:43:06

Oh my god. Are you sure you want to do that? Listen, I know. Before when I was like, oh, do I need to join in an improv group? It wasn't necessarily I want to join the improv group. Me, Devin, wanted to join the improv group because I'm like, this will be a weird story, uh, a story B tier, but I'm pretty sure uh he wouldn't know what to do with the improv uh with an improv group, but if that'll get us in, um it'll it'll get us in.

SPEAKER_07 1:43:35

We don't have to be a good improv group, we just have to be uh there.

SPEAKER_02 1:43:39

Uh I I I put in uh I I I let her know I'm like, listen, I know uh uh listen, I know that you're already head over heels attracted to uh to me and my bod. However, uh, if you need a replacement for an improv group, I have a little bit of experience with uh being in an improv uh I have a little bit of an experience with an improv group talking about the uh uh experience that I had earlier today with a group that happens to do improv.

SPEAKER_07 1:44:10

It's not a lie. It's not a lie. It's not a lie if you believe it.

SPEAKER_00 1:44:16

And there's like uh she doesn't text back for like a few minutes, and then she says, spoke to Galen, why not? They wouldn't be able to tell anyway.

SPEAKER_02 1:44:30

Alright. Like, uh uh tell it tell us where to meet you, and uh we're gonna get we're gonna get our uh improv on. Uh this is gonna be fine.

SPEAKER_00 1:44:42

So she sends you directions to a uh a back door where the banquet is being held at the uh I can't wait to be so bad at this.

SPEAKER_02 1:44:49

I'm already bad at improv, so I can't wait to be even worse at this.

SPEAKER_07 1:44:53

Listen, we do improv every two weeks for this show. How bad could we possibly be? Have you listened to me? Yes, Devin. I think that we do great.

SPEAKER_02 1:45:05

We do fine. Except every once in a while, actually all the time, I will forget everybody's name.

SPEAKER_07 1:45:11

Hey, Johnny.

SPEAKER_02 1:45:12

Any good improv person.

SPEAKER_07 1:45:14

I I would I'm just kind of stuck on the idea of like a Senate banquet and the entertainment as a college improv group.

SPEAKER_02 1:45:22

Students.

SPEAKER_07 1:45:24

Students.

SPEAKER_02 1:45:25

Students.

SPEAKER_07 1:45:26

You could like they couldn't even hire just like a local jazz band to play some ambient background whatever.

SPEAKER_06 1:45:34

Some jizz band?

SPEAKER_07 1:45:35

Yeah, some some ambient jizz.

SPEAKER_06 1:45:37

Uh some chamber jizz.

SPEAKER_07 1:45:38

Yeah, chamber jizz.

SPEAKER_00 1:45:40

I mean, if you if you knew anything about the the course and improv scene, you would know that this particular uh comedy academy, like, is kind of the only place where if you want to be a comedian, you kind of have to go there because the people who are in charge of discovering new talent really only look at that school. So it does have a pretty good reputation.

SPEAKER_07 1:45:59

Ah, the finest clown college in the galaxy. Yeah, the finest. Only the best.

SPEAKER_02 1:46:05

I can't wait.

SPEAKER_07 1:46:06

Okay. Let's a go. Hey Illyria, how are you feeling about this plan that relies on us uh successfully pretending to be improv comedians?

SPEAKER_04 1:46:17

I have one yellow, one green to cool. Um That's fine.

SPEAKER_07 1:46:22

Improv comedians are incredibly uncool.

SPEAKER_04 1:46:25

What is Wait, is that not a good dice pool for cool?

SPEAKER_00 1:46:30

A yellow and green? Would it be cool or I mean improv would probably it would be either deception or charm. Deception and charm.

SPEAKER_04 1:46:38

Leadership. Oh baby.

SPEAKER_00 1:46:40

Maybe maybe leadership if you're taking the lead in this in the scene.

SPEAKER_07 1:46:44

Okay, what if what about knowledge education if you are just like you you understand the exact like method, you've read books on improv comedy.

SPEAKER_00 1:46:54

In theory, you're a very skilled improv comedian.

SPEAKER_07 1:46:58

You know the theory behind improv. You know to say yes and you studied up on it once when you were like, I can fit in at a party.

SPEAKER_00 1:47:08

Yeah, if you've um leaned into improv comedy as a way to mask your social anxiety, that may give you a clue. You don't know how to be engaging, but you can pretend.

SPEAKER_07 1:47:19

Yeah.

SPEAKER_00 1:47:20

That's that's me. Well, not my character, but that's me.

SPEAKER_07 1:47:25

But I gotta pretend. Okay. Let's go.

SPEAKER_00 1:47:30

So uh you can you can uh take this rented speeder around back of this lavish banquet hall, going through the employee entrance, and Zin is there dressed in uh an appropriately lavish Senate aid dress. She still looks very professional, but it's having a little bit of an off-the-shoulder moment. Ooh, look at her. And she says, this is what you Yeah, fine. You guys look fine. Um, so What was wrong with us? Nothing, nothing. Don't worry about it. Don't don't worry about it.

unknown 1:48:07

We look like improv.

SPEAKER_02 1:48:09

That's the nicest thing anybody said to us all day.

SPEAKER_07 1:48:12

I don't know if it is. That might be some one of the meanest things anyone's ever said to me in my entire life. So wearing all black. I look like a lesbian. You look like improv.

SPEAKER_02 1:48:24

If you were if you were a performance art. That was my way of saying, don't even fucking worry about it.

SPEAKER_06 1:48:32

You are wearing a s- you are wearing a sweater vest. That feels like part of the outfit.

SPEAKER_07 1:48:37

It's fine. We look like improv. We look the part.

SPEAKER_02 1:48:39

You look like improv. Okay, so uh what do you uh so what do you uh want us to do? Just do do the fucking show.

SPEAKER_00 1:48:48

You're supposed to be on in like 30 seconds.

SPEAKER_02 1:48:50

Okay. Um I go back to you guys and I kind of like hut huddle up. Okay. So at one so um I guess first things first we could do uh maybe questions only, or maybe we get get some scenes from a chapeau or something.

SPEAKER_07 1:49:04

Oh yeah, or it's like we uh we get the audience engaged. Oh, oh Chris, if you're like the caller and you're like anyone, anyone, and then they're like they raise the hand and then you like high-five them to see if you get brain blasted.

SPEAKER_02 1:49:14

Oh, I can I can do that. I could also uh uh do do the thing that an actual improv uh thing made me do one day. It was just like, hey, go up to an audience member and just flirt with them. I'm like, are you fucking kidding me? Why would I do that? I don't want to flirt with anybody. It was the most awkward uh interaction that I had in a while. Anyway, so I could do something like that.

SPEAKER_07 1:49:35

Hey, go sexually harass an audience member. Yeah, you can uh like do something like like like that. I don't know, I don't know. Yeah, sure, improv, whatever. We look like improv, right? We could do it, we'll do it.

SPEAKER_02 1:49:48

Everybody, penzin on three. One, two, three, improv. Improv nice one. Improving.

SPEAKER_00 1:49:55

And you can hear, like, Zin's kind of like left, but you can hear uh she's On like the microphone out in the banquet hall and just says Alright, and uh next we have tonight's entertainment for all of you. Uh hot off of their uh oh sorry, I wasn't supposed to mention the streaming service. Uh the flunkies! Everybody be heading for the flunkies. And there's polite applause as uh Hey hey, we're the flunkies. The spotlight uh hits the curtain where you're supposed to go out onto the stage floor.

SPEAKER_07 1:50:29

That's fucking broad, we gotta get out there.

SPEAKER_02 1:50:31

Hey, hey, hey, if you're uh Starzan, if you if you wanna do uh do a leadership thing, you can kind of lead us into Oh, I'm not I'm not the leadership guy.

SPEAKER_06 1:50:39

I got two greens. I'm just I'm just curious for if there is a leadership person.

SPEAKER_02 1:50:43

Oh, um Leadership is present, so probably Chris. Yeah, that's me. That's me. Okay, alright. Uh bo bonjour everybody. Uh Je m'appelle. I have to fa uh maybe think of a a different name.

SPEAKER_00 1:50:58

My uh Je m'appelle uh Socré bleu. So, Chris, as you go out onto the stage, um lights are kind of bright. Like, you guys are well lit, it is a little bit dim, but the stage area is level with the banquet hall. Like, it seems like it's kind of designed a little bit for crowd work.

SPEAKER_10 1:51:17

Okay.

SPEAKER_00 1:51:18

And uh why don't you roll me a perception? Um you do have lights kind of blasting into your eyes, so that'll add a black, but uh give me a two-purple perception just to see who's there. Two purple and a black? Yeah, I'll give you a you're low on destiny points, I'll give you one. Let's call it a red, purple, and black. One advantage. One advantage. Okay, so you can't really see like it's a lot of very finely dressed people, uh, but you can't really get a good view of uh who's sitting there. You did get that advantage, so you can kind of see out of the corner of her eye, uh out of the corner of your eye, uh Zin going back to her senator's table. Okay. So you know where she is, but you can't see where like Viento might be if you're if you're trying to to get him.

SPEAKER_02 1:52:02

Uh uh Bonjour, we are Zeflu uh we are the flunkies, and we are here to ha to have a little bit of fun, have a l a little bit of a uh a good time. And for a good time, I would like to make sure that I know what my aud uh what my audience wants. So uh I just I just want to know how's everybody feeling tonight? There is uh polite applause. Ah, yes, yes, yes, of course.

Um and it is you can see it's a human man, you don't really recognize him, but he says, uh my name is Viento, I'm a senator.

SPEAKER_02 1:53:40

Ooh. Uh you're uh you've done some very uh very fancy and uh very important things as a senator, I'm assuming.

SPEAKER_00 1:53:50

Well, it's a a lot of paperwork actually.

SPEAKER_07 1:54:56

I was gonna say the nasty not man himself. Uh I'll no laughing matter.

SPEAKER_02 1:55:03

Uh well what you uh uh what are you the sen uh senator of? What uh what is what it tell m uh tell me what is the most important decision that you make in a regular day.

SPEAKER_00 1:55:34

Well, uh in a regular day, the most important decision that I make, I suppose, would be uh where I go for lunch.

SPEAKER_02 1:55:41

And where and where do you uh what's the uh uh place that you go for lunch them uh the most?

SPEAKER_00 1:55:48

Well, I don't know. I usually to be honest, I leave that up to my assistant. Where do I usually go for lunch? And his uh assistant says, Well, um there's have you ever heard of Space Potley?

SPEAKER_02 1:56:00

Ooh, yes, Space Potley. It is a ta it is a tasty location. I uh I uh I go I go there a little bit more than I should. Okay, so and uh well Mr. S uh Mr. Senator, and I I go uh and I go to shake my hand. Don't worry. Uh it was a pleasure meeting you, and don't worry, I've washed his hand.

SPEAKER_00 1:56:20

So he he does shake your hand. Does something happen? Why don't you roll my coordination? Oh, coordination. Okay, it is kind of dark.

SPEAKER_07 1:56:30

Pawing around for his hand.

SPEAKER_00 1:56:33

Well, you never know. So give you give you a destiny point. We'll call this. This should be easy, right? But the lights are in your eyes. There's a couple other people at the table, we'll see if you shake the right person's hand. So we'll call this a red and a black coordination. Red and a black coordination. One success. Okay, so you do shake Viento's hand and you don't get any brain blasts from it.

SPEAKER_02 1:56:58

Hmm. Okay, I I'm done shaking his hand. Can I can I go and attempt to shake uh Big Sheep's hand too? And you and you, sir, thank you for being a wonderful sport.

SPEAKER_00 1:57:11

So, uh, there are a couple of Senate guards, like blue-robed armored Senate guards, that kind of like move to stop you from shaking the Chancellor's hand. And he says, no, no, it's fine. I do enjoy a laugh here and there. And he takes your hand. And you do get a brain blast. You are s- What does it do? You're struck with uh an incredibly vivid image of like you feel like wind almost blowing in your face. You can feel shards of glass digging into your back as if you're laying in an open window, and you can see Mace Windu with his lightsaber at Palpatine's throat in his office, basically about to throw him out of his own office. Whoa! Is that where it stops? Yes, that is where the vision stops.

SPEAKER_02 1:58:04

Jesus Christ. Oh, interesting. Um, I'm like, oh, you've got you've got uh mighty mighty grip. Uh uh, you've got a mighty grip, sir. Be careful who uh be careful where you waves, that's thing. Uh-huh. Uh anyways. Uh let's do uh let's uh get started with our scene. A sen a senator at Z Space Chipotle. Oh be a senator.

SPEAKER_07 1:58:33

I'm at the Space Chipotle.

SPEAKER_00 1:58:35

Okay, so give me uh you guys give me a this will be a group charm, we'll say, to try and pull off the scene. So or would it be a skullduggery if Chris is trying to pass information about what he may or may not have seen.

SPEAKER_07 1:58:49

Oh, maybe skullduggery if we're trying to like specifically keep them distracted from Chris so he can uh communicate with Quinlan in the s in the ceiling.

SPEAKER_02 1:58:58

I was thinking also that you guys may uh maybe do the scene, and while that's happening, I uh just kind of like sneak off and maybe like uh uh g give the information while you guys are uh doing the scene.

SPEAKER_07 1:59:14

Yeah, yeah. So because like if Chris wanted to do that, would that be skullduggery that we'd be rolling as a group, or would that be cunning or uh charming charm?

SPEAKER_00 1:59:23

Um if Chris wanted to kind of sneak off, that might be a stealth. But if you guys wanted to be a distraction, that would be a group charm.

SPEAKER_07 1:59:31

Okay. Okay, how are we gonna do this? How's everyone?

SPEAKER_02 1:59:36

It sucks because I'm the ch I'm the charming guy, unless you like uh I fuck. I can't necessarily tell you guys anything, can I?

SPEAKER_07 1:59:45

It's fine. You've done your part, and now we are just here to disappoint everyone. What's everyone else's charm?

SPEAKER_04 1:59:52

One green. Jesus Christ, you guys.

SPEAKER_00 1:59:57

I mean, you can all add a blue to whoever's gonna make this role. Uh or if any of you have any ranks and one of you might have a higher presence. No, we are all greens.

SPEAKER_07 2:00:07

We are all I I've been kind of hyping up Chris. I I'll try to take the lead on it just like, yeah, I'm a senator. Yeah, I'm helping it.

SPEAKER_00 2:00:17

Yeah, they are a little bit warmed up, so uh you guys can add an additional blue onto that.

SPEAKER_07 2:00:22

Okay. Would that be uh would that be like a blue from Illyria and Starzan as well?

SPEAKER_00 2:00:27

Yeah.

SPEAKER_07 2:00:28

Okay, so three blue in total. Okay.

SPEAKER_00 2:00:31

So this would be different. This would be a charm against two purple, two red.

SPEAKER_07 2:00:38

Destiny.

SPEAKER_00 2:00:39

You have two.

SPEAKER_07 2:00:40

Flip one. I'm gonna get a yellow. Why not? Maybe we'll get a triumph. Well, at least you can distract them. Maybe maybe they'll find us uh so pitiable that it's charming. Bitch, I got two success. We are so charming. We're pulling it out of our asses, guys. Just like Chris dug that toilet. Oh, you know what, no what I we're letting that joke go.

SPEAKER_00 2:01:03

Yeah, it's um not it it's believable that you had a streaming service, not just believable that it failed.

SPEAKER_08 2:01:12

Yeah.

SPEAKER_02 2:01:15

Uh while they're doing that, should I roll a stealth to like sneak away? Yeah.

SPEAKER_00 2:01:19

Alright, what am I what am I rolling? So, uh, this would probably be against the There are a number of Senate guards that are kind of hanging around and uh watching the goings-on. They are being quite distracting, so that is gonna help you. So this is gonna be against a red and two purple. You can add a blue, you can add a blue for being able to sort of stick to the shadows. And you can add, you got two successes, so two additional blues from how successful the group is being at their improv comedy routine.

SPEAKER_02 2:01:53

Uh for advantage. So people catch me, but they don't see or they they don't mind.

SPEAKER_07 2:02:00

Yeah, maybe they're like catching you just to like shake your hand and give you a pat on the shoulder or something before letting you go on your way.

SPEAKER_00 2:02:07

Yeah, so other people, like, they do come up to you and they do kind of like say, Hey, that was pretty good. But the main person that comes up to you is Zin. And she says, I don't know how you guys pulled it off, but you pulled it off. Uh, so this I think is going to go very well.

SPEAKER_02 2:02:22

You almost had a tough spot with Big P, but Um Does she know does she know about my vi visions? Have I told her about my visions? I don't think I have. No. I don't think you would have now. No. Uh so uh yes, I uh I figure I uh thought it would uh uh I I couldn't see. The lights were so bright in my eyes, and I just picked a table and it turned out to be the most important table in the room. Oh, I thought mine would be to you at least.

SPEAKER_05 2:02:48

Ooh.

SPEAKER_02 2:02:49

It's not it's not your table that's gonna be important.

SPEAKER_08 2:02:55

Oh Chris, you slut!

SPEAKER_00 2:02:57

Okay, well that's a that's a later on type of conversation.

SPEAKER_02 2:03:00

That is a later on type of conversation. Um listen, there's more I don't I I wanted to I wanna tell you some things really uh really badly, but uh Oh Chris, no, don't ruin it. Okay, so uh in that case, listen, I'm gonna uh listen, uh enjoy enjoys the show. I'm gonna uh let you know uh I'm I'm gonna meet up with you a little bit later. I gotta do something very, very important right now. I swear I swear to god I'll let you more uh know more uh later on.

SPEAKER_00 2:03:33

Alright, the bathrooms are uh down the hall to the left.

Yeah, boss.

SPEAKER_02 2:03:50

SPEAKER_02 2:03:56

Okay. Um I'll meet I'll meet you in a uh I'll meet you in about 20 minutes.

SPEAKER_00 2:04:02

Well I have to stay here for the rest of the banquet.

SPEAKER_02 2:04:06

Oh, okay. Oh, you drive a hard bargain. I'll see you when I see you. I'll I'll see you when I see you. And I'm like, and like a part a part of me was just like, should should it be five instead? And then I just deal with that and then go find uh find Quinlin. Oh, this is so difficult. Uh okay, I will I will see you when I see you. And then and then I I I walk away with my my head held high, but my uh spirits down because oh man, I could be I could be doing something so much funner right now. I wanted to have a booty call in the bathroom! Oh, and in a political bathroom?

SPEAKER_07 2:04:42

Oh my god. Oh my god. You can't slot that close to the sun. You gotta wait.

SPEAKER_02 2:04:48

I gotta otherwise my dick will burn off by this.

SPEAKER_08 2:04:52

Don't fuck the sun.

SPEAKER_02 2:04:54

My wax dick will f burn off.

SPEAKER_08 2:04:58

Careful, Dickorus. I was gonna make that joke! Dickorous, no.

SPEAKER_02 2:05:08

Alright, so I'm gonna I'm gonna see if I can like find Quinlin somewhere.

SPEAKER_00 2:05:13

So he said he would be thumping around in the vents. So if you like look up, you can see that like at the grate above the table where uh Viento and Palpatine are sitting. You can you can see like eyes staring through the slats. He's up there waiting.

SPEAKER_02 2:05:35

Okay. Um alright, so I'm can I can I like radio him somehow or can I like to get a little bit more than a little bit?

SPEAKER_00 2:05:41

No, he destroyed your communicators and data pads.

SPEAKER_07 2:05:43

They're like gesture for him to meet you in the bathroom or something.

SPEAKER_02 2:05:47

Can I can I um uh can I shine a mirror into his eyes and like tell tell him to like, you know, p point in the my general direction of like, hey, meet me over here, I got something to say.

SPEAKER_00 2:05:59

So yeah, you're trying to do like a secret like hand motion? Yeah. This would be you are kind of far away. He is up in the vents, it is dark, so this will be a probably a skullduggery. The motion you're doing isn't necessarily that difficult. It's kind of like a come over here. Uh so that would be a two purple. You are far away and it is dark, so that'll add two black and you're low on destiny points, so we'll call that a red, a purple, and two black skullduggery.

SPEAKER_02 2:06:23

You're real piece of shit. Uh, okay.

SPEAKER_00 2:06:26

Three failure, but an advantage. You can't make a a signal because you notice that like he's like looking around, and you get the feeling that any signal you make, he's gonna misinterpret as the drop down and stab this guy in the head signal. Okay.

SPEAKER_02 2:06:44

You have to crawl up there. Ugh. Can I can I figure out a way to go to him?

SPEAKER_00 2:06:51

I mean you could crawl in the vents yourself, but like is because how how is the show going?

SPEAKER_07 2:06:57

Is there any way that we could like, you know, wrap up the show and try to break a way to help Chris out?

SPEAKER_00 2:07:03

I mean he could hear he could probably hear the show. So if if Oh! Oh! I'm gonna go back to the show go back to the show.

SPEAKER_02 2:07:12

Ah, okay.

SPEAKER_00 2:07:13

Is there an is there an improv scene about a guy in a vent that you can do?

SPEAKER_02 2:07:17

Not not not even. I'm I'll just say uh uh Okay. Uh after you guys are done your your set or something.

SPEAKER_00 2:07:25

Yeah, after you're done killing it with your Chipotle scene.

SPEAKER_02 2:07:29

Fucking killing it. Um I'm gonna uh I'm gonna go up there. Uh I'm gonna go there. I'm gonna be the host of this, the ho the uh the host of this, like uh Drew Carey, and uh I'm just gonna go up to uh up to you guys. I'm gonna be like uh that was uh very funny for you know pr pretty good, I guess. That was a good maybe six or seven out of ten. I'm just kidding, you guys are ten out of ten in my heart. So, uh we are gonna take a 15-minute break while uh while we reorganize ourselves. And um it's getting a little bit hot from the vent, so we're gonna make sure that we uh tell the uh people to cool this place down a little bit. Uh we hear is that uh over by the um fucking where janitor's closet we can let people uh know that uh we need things to cool down a little bit, and I'm I'm kind of looking to stealthily looking up in his direction to be to be like meet me over by the janitor's closet that is near that is near you as best as I possibly can.

SPEAKER_00 2:08:41

Okay. Uh so this guy's pretty gung-ho, so I'm gonna give you another destiny point. But because you're speaking, range isn't gonna have anything to do with it. So this is just gonna be um on his ability to understand. So this is gonna be your leadership. Mm-hmm. Oh fuck.

SPEAKER_02 2:08:59

Oh, actually, my leadership. Yeah, you have good presence. Yeah, I'm I'm pretty good at that. So okay.

SPEAKER_00 2:09:03

So it's gonna be your yellow. Yeah, your leadership against his discipline.

SPEAKER_02 2:09:08

Oh dear.

SPEAKER_00 2:09:09

Uh so I'm gonna give you destiny points. That'll be three red.

SPEAKER_02 2:09:12

Fuck. How many destiny points do we have? Uh you have three at the moment. I'm gonna flip one. Do you get a despair? Uh I got a success and advantage into despair. Well. It was nice knowing you guys. We're gonna leave now.

SPEAKER_00 2:09:32

Oh no, did someone see through our ruse? He he gets um the hint, it seems, but because you're no longer you're not doing your show, there's the there's no music, there's just like kind of like the a little bit of a lull. No, people haven't quite returned to conversation yet. So you just hear like metal banging coming from the ceiling as he as he's like making his way down the vents again.

SPEAKER_07 2:09:57

Oh man, there's womp rats in those vents!

SPEAKER_00 2:10:00

And like the the Senate guards at Palpatine's table, they look up and they like start moving towards the vents, and they have kind of their guns up and pointed at the vents. They look down and they whisper to Palpatine. Uh, one of them likes g helps him up and escorts him out of the banquet.

SPEAKER_07 2:10:19

I mean, as that's probably fine as far as we know, for Palpatine to be going. We have no reason to suspect Palpatine.

SPEAKER_02 2:10:28

In fact, uh uh like the thing that I'm gonna say is like I think Mace Windu is a bad guy.

SPEAKER_06 2:10:33

Yeah, like Windu the Sith Lord? He did uh not laugh at Chris's poo joke, so that makes that's a little suspicious.

SPEAKER_07 2:10:41

Yeah, because that was fire.

SPEAKER_02 2:10:43

So I mean, it's a poop joke. Why wouldn't he laugh at a poop joke?

SPEAKER_07 2:10:48

Everyone loves a poop joke. Right? Who doesn't love a poop joke? What kind of psychopath?

SPEAKER_02 2:10:53

Especially like, and I was so clever too. I was comparing paperwork to toilet paper. Yeah. Oh my god, so pretty great. So there there was like some some a theme- a theme going, just kind of a theme going. You'd have to be evil not to like that.

SPEAKER_07 2:11:06

Yeah, you killed it and then he killed the vibe. Like, what a piece of shit. He should die.

SPEAKER_00 2:11:14

Let's just talk ourselves into killing the Chancellor for no reason, no good reason. So I'm gonna I'm gonna see uh how good these guys' uh their discipline is if they've got like kind of a trigger finger. Because they may want to look like big shots.

SPEAKER_10 2:11:30

Oh no.

SPEAKER_00 2:11:31

So uh failure with two advantage on their discipline.

SPEAKER_10 2:11:35

Okay. Okay.

SPEAKER_00 2:11:36

Well So the Senate guards, they're pointing their rifles up at the vents where you can see them kind of shaking back and forth as this guy is crawling through them. Uh oh. Because they got advantage, you can see them like fingers ready on the trigger. They're not pulling them yet, but they will. So you guys will have some time to intervene if you think that might be necessary.

SPEAKER_02 2:12:00

L listen, if you're if you're going to uh I I go up to the guy like well listen, if you're gonna if you're going to shoot at every single no uh noise that you hear and shoot up this nice building, why don't you just call the exterminator?

SPEAKER_07 2:12:15

Yeah, you know, I think I actually heard something over there in the other room rustling around. Like you guys should maybe check that out instead.

SPEAKER_00 2:12:22

Give you deception.

SPEAKER_07 2:12:23

I can give a deception, maybe. I have three green. What do we have for destiny?

SPEAKER_00 2:12:31

You have two.

SPEAKER_07 2:12:31

I'll flip one to get a yellow. Maybe maybe this will go really, really well. I I I hate it when you say that, because then it never fucking does. Well, eat your fucking words. I got four success and one threat. Oh my god! Oh yeah, God! Get out of my business. I can be deceptive.

SPEAKER_02 2:12:49

I mean, I I shouldn't have doubted your uh ability to be a lying, uh a believably lying bitch.

SPEAKER_07 2:12:57

Thank ya. You're the wrong character.

SPEAKER_00 2:13:00

So you got uh success and threat?

SPEAKER_07 2:13:02

Yeah.

SPEAKER_00 2:13:02

Yeah, so the guard success says, You're right, shooting up Banquet Hall, probably not the best thing, but uh we are going to have to evacuate this place uh while we investigate. So uh please uh see yourselves out, and he points the way for you to go out. That is not the way you told uh the Jedi to meet you. Oh, uh could I just run to the washroom real quick, you know, like look, no one's we believe this is a serious situation, so we're gonna have to ask you to leave.

SPEAKER_07 2:13:30

Babe, it's gonna be a serious situation if I shit my pants.

SPEAKER_00 2:13:33

Well, that sounds like a you problem.

SPEAKER_02 2:13:35

Look, if she if she gets arrested for uh uh public public urination, or even worse, public defecation, then we're we're gonna send you the bill, you know.

SPEAKER_07 2:13:47

Yeah, do you want me to just hang my ass off the side of the skyscraper and let it rip?

SPEAKER_00 2:13:51

It sounds like it'll be a funny anecdote for your next bit.

SPEAKER_02 2:13:54

That would be a funny anecdote. We should probably write that down as I'm gonna.

SPEAKER_09 2:13:58

Shit, it would be.

unknown 2:14:00

Fuck!

SPEAKER_02 2:14:02

Empire Wreckers season two uh season two, uh, we become improvers.

SPEAKER_07 2:14:07

I mean, because me and me and Chris are kind of like blab and would like maybe uh Starzan or Elyria be able to slip away to uh let him know what's up and to meet us somewhere else.

SPEAKER_00 2:14:17

But now that like the Senate guards they are actively like evacuating people.

SPEAKER_02 2:14:22

That asshole had to fucking break our comms, that piece of shit. I hate him so much.

SPEAKER_07 2:14:27

I don't know. I think that Chris and I were gonna have to just go along with the Senate guards, but uh Starzan or Elyria, did either of you wanna try to snoop snoop away? Yeah.

SPEAKER_06 2:14:36

Let's sneak out.

SPEAKER_07 2:14:38

Starzan's got it.

SPEAKER_06 2:14:39

Wait, which one of us is better at sneaking? Let me see. One yellow, one green.

SPEAKER_07 2:14:43

Oh, me too. Ah! He guys mashed.

SPEAKER_06 2:14:46

Should we both sneak away?

SPEAKER_07 2:14:48

Because like it would it would just be to tell him that it's like, okay, we can't actually meet you here.

SPEAKER_06 2:14:53

If one of us fails to sneak away, then we will be the distraction for the other person.

SPEAKER_00 2:14:58

That's true. If you both try. So whoever's sneaking against a red and two purple.

SPEAKER_02 2:15:05

But and um maybe like during the time where uh we went away we went away and would have told you, like, hey, just so you know, we I don't think that this guy's the problem.

SPEAKER_06 2:15:17

One red, two purple?

SPEAKER_02 2:15:18

Yeah. Okay.

SPEAKER_07 2:15:19

Could there be any blues from s uh Chris and I kind of being distractions?

SPEAKER_00 2:15:23

Um, I think at this point, like there's enough guards, they've turned the lights back on. So I think any sort of uh benefit you would add from the distraction would be counteracted by the number of guards and the added light.

SPEAKER_04 2:15:36

One failure.

SPEAKER_00 2:15:38

One failure and one despair. Okay. So you guys, you get spotted and you get kind of corralled out, but as you are getting corralled out, there's a big thump, big metal thump, and you hear shouting from the other room, and you hear Voss shouting, It's not me, it's the improv group! It's not me, it's the improv group!

SPEAKER_07 2:16:02

Oh selling us out, we gotta run! Should we run about this?

SPEAKER_00 2:16:09

So, how how are you gonna run? Is this gonna be an athletics or uh stealth? Is it gonna be cool trying to act like you belong?

SPEAKER_07 2:16:17

Uh, I mean I'll roll stealth, try to just melt into the crowd.

SPEAKER_00 2:16:22

Yeah, let's do that. So uh he is shouting at you. So this would be a stealth against three red and a purple.

SPEAKER_07 2:16:31

Ooh. Ooh.

SPEAKER_00 2:16:33

If you're trying to do cool, uh, that would be the same. If you're trying to using athletics just to run about it.

SPEAKER_06 2:16:40

I just run- I'm just gonna run about it. I'm Starzan. I can.

SPEAKER_02 2:16:43

I'm gonna try and stealth, because that's my best one.

SPEAKER_06 2:16:46

People will be like, what's that Neanderthal doing running around?

SPEAKER_02 2:16:50

Three red and a purple. I'm gonna I'm gonna I'm gonna wait to press the roll button.

SPEAKER_06 2:16:55

I know I'm gonna- one success, two advantages. That's for athletics.

SPEAKER_02 2:16:59

How how many destiny points do we got? You got two.

SPEAKER_04 2:17:02

I you know what I'm just gonna- Success. One despair, two threat.

SPEAKER_07 2:17:07

Jesus I'm just gonna let it ride. Two advantage.

SPEAKER_02 2:17:11

I'm gonna flip a destiny.

SPEAKER_07 2:17:13

Yeah.

SPEAKER_02 2:17:15

Uh two failure, three advantage, that's something. Okay. Hooray! I mean, it's not all negative dice, so that'll do.

SPEAKER_00 2:17:22

So, um, Illyria got success, threaten despair. Yeah. You can remain undetected. However, because he doesn't see you, because you have gone missing, um, Voss is like, no, the improv group! It was the improv group! I I sensed it, I sensed it, the evil, he's it's here, it's here! And you can hear and see his lightsaber flashing to life as he starts like swinging and cutting through the Senate guards on his way towards where everybody's being corralled, all the senators, chancellor, they're all being corralled out towards the landing pad outside the banquet hall. Kala, you failed. You got advantage. Yeah, two advantage. And Chris, you failed with advantage. I failed with uh three advantage. Yeah, and Star Zen, you succeeded with advantage, so you can run, you weren't trying to hide, but you can run. Um, all three of you, uh Zin is there with her Senator, Senator Taz Gallen, who is a shark, uh, a cart redon. Uh, she says, Senator, Senator, they I think they work for the SBI. I think they do some Jedi hunting thing. They could help us, they could help us. And you can tell that like Palpatine's within earshot of this, like he kind of looks over at you, and he says, If you could do anything to help us against that crazed Jedi, I would be incredibly grateful.

SPEAKER_01 2:18:42

Uh-huh.

SPEAKER_02 2:18:45

You don't know he's a bad guy. You don't know he's a bad guy.

SPEAKER_07 2:18:48

I know, I know. And like we were warned that, you know, Quinlan might be might be in too deep.

SPEAKER_00 2:18:56

So you can see uh carving through Senegards this crazed Jedi who's a dude, playing a dude, potentially disguised as another dude you don't know. You don't know how deep he's in. Are those dreadlocks real? Is that a wig? Is he blonde under there?

SPEAKER_07 2:19:12

Uh yeah, man, we'll deal with them.

SPEAKER_00 2:19:16

How do you deal with them?

SPEAKER_07 2:19:17

I mean, I committed my suppress earlier, so I guess that's still going. Yeah. I never uncommitted it, why not?

SPEAKER_02 2:19:25

I don't wanna take this guy. I don't wanna like take this guy out. Well, although he did betray us, so maybe.

SPEAKER_07 2:19:30

He did betray us, we were warned that he might be in too deep.

SPEAKER_02 2:19:34

Yeah, I'm I'm gonna I'm gonna see if I can like maybe chat him down, if anything, because like I'm I'm not I'm not I'm not a big fan of killing people if I can help it.

SPEAKER_07 2:19:43

Would would I have my would I be able to have my gun? I wasn't improv comedian a second ago.

SPEAKER_00 2:19:49

Yeah, if you were improv comedians, I think your rifle uh might be too uh conspicuous, but the Senate guards do have rifles, and uh Palpatine basically just was like, hey, help us.

SPEAKER_07 2:20:06

Yeah. So maybe you'd just be like, hey, give me one of those.

SPEAKER_00 2:20:09

Yeah.

SPEAKER_06 2:20:10

C commandeer a rifle.

SPEAKER_07 2:20:11

Give me that!

SPEAKER_00 2:20:12

And the Senate guard looks at Palpatine, uh, and Palpatine looks at you, and he looks at the Senate guard and he says, It's alright, there's service core, we can trust them. Do it.

SPEAKER_05 2:20:22

We don't know he's evil. We don't know he's evil! How does he know your service core?

SPEAKER_06 2:20:27

Our Oh. Our clothes.

SPEAKER_07 2:20:29

Well, no, because we were all in our fancy stuff, giving like a sideways look. Like, uh no time to think about this. No. Oh, that burns. Don't say that. I mean, maybe he's familiar with the SBI and our work. Maybe he's familiar with our game. Maybe he just likes us. Maybe he's a fan.

SPEAKER_02 2:20:52

Um, well, let's let's worry about that later. Let's see if we can de-escalate this situation.

SPEAKER_00 2:20:58

Uh, Chris, do you wanna try talking to him first? Kahlo, do you wanna try lining up a shot? Uh Starzan and Illyria, do you wanna Yeah, where did I end up? So you you were able to to book it out to uh where everybody was kind of gathered.

SPEAKER_06 2:21:15

How would I is there a way I could just like kinda like jump on him?

SPEAKER_00 2:21:19

Yeah, if you want if you want to kind of be ready and try and tackle him so that uh Chris can.

SPEAKER_06 2:21:24

Ooh. Is there some sort of rope I could swing on? Ooh.

SPEAKER_00 2:21:30

Yeah, there are a lot of like flags and banners that could be cut down.

SPEAKER_06 2:21:34

As long as I don't just like tear apart somebody's trusted flag. Like sacred flag. Oh god, as long as you don't cause a diplomatic incident. Curtains and drapery sounds like the right go. I will I will swing.

SPEAKER_00 2:21:51

Yes, you got advantage on your athletics, so you can have you can you can have like climbed up somewhere to get a good perch. Uh so if you want to swing down at him, so that is probably gonna be uh against his vigilance and athletics.

SPEAKER_07 2:22:06

Starzan, watch out for that wall!

SPEAKER_00 2:22:09

Uh so that is gonna be against three purple. This would be athletics or bro? Yeah, athletics.

SPEAKER_06 2:22:14

Destiny. You have one. Uh should I use it?

SPEAKER_07 2:22:18

Might as well. May as well. Why not?

SPEAKER_06 2:22:21

Four success. Two threats.

SPEAKER_00 2:22:25

So you can successfully swing down at him. He doesn't notice you until the last second. So uh got this two threat. So why don't you do uh throw two blacks onto a brawl roll to actually tackle him? Okay. So he's uh got three ranks of adversary, so that will be against two red and a purple brawl with those two blacks. Three success. Three success, yes. You can grab him, tackle him, keep him from swinging that laser sword around. Good. He is struggling against you, but you are, at least for now, stronger than him. That's right.

SPEAKER_02 2:23:05

I I I do say, I do say, please, we we are here for you. Please put uh put the weapon uh weapon down. You won't go. He uh that man is not your enemy. Oh, you don't understand. I gotta kill him. Why do you have to kill him? So I can be the next apprentice.

SPEAKER_05 2:23:22

Oh. He's in too deep. He's in too deep. He's in too deep. Can I? Go ahead.

SPEAKER_07 2:23:28

No, I I was just gonna say, if it's like, nah, he's in too deep, he's not gonna talk. Would I be able to like lie like use the the rifle I borrowed, but maybe just stun him?

SPEAKER_00 2:23:38

Yeah, stun setting. Yeah. Okay, so uh Starzan is holding him, so you don't want to hit Starzan, so that'll add two blacks. Okay. Would his adversary come into play? He is being restrained. I think probably it would just be a it wouldn't, but he would be at long range, so it would be a three purple. So three purple and two blacks.

SPEAKER_07 2:24:03

Okay, and that would still be ranged heavy?

SPEAKER_00 2:24:05

Yeah.

SPEAKER_07 2:24:05

Okay. And we don't have any destiny, so I won't flip it.

SPEAKER_00 2:24:08

I can give you one.

SPEAKER_07 2:24:09

No, that's okay. That's not what I meant. That's not what I meant. Uh oh fuck, I should have aimed.

SPEAKER_00 2:24:14

Do you want to aim?

SPEAKER_07 2:24:15

Yeah, could I aim twice?

SPEAKER_00 2:24:17

Yeah, take some strain. This is a fairly uh Okay, cool.

SPEAKER_07 2:24:21

Cause that a because it was like two success and a threat, but I got one s but at rolling the blues, that takes it to uh just four success. Four success? Or no, three success, sorry. And then the advantage cancelled out the threat that I had.

SPEAKER_00 2:24:35

Yeah, so you can line up carefully, take a shot, stun him. He goes limp er in Starzan's grasp, but uh, if you have anything else that could uh knock him out, that would probably help. Keep him out.

SPEAKER_07 2:24:53

Uh, lyria, you got anything? You got anything medical?

SPEAKER_04 2:24:56

Mmm. Medically induced coma.

SPEAKER_00 2:25:01

Go to sleep forever. Like you have some kind of medic medicine kit or something.

SPEAKER_04 2:25:06

Portable healing kit. Yeah.

SPEAKER_00 2:25:08

You got any forget me nows in there? Yeah, so we'll call this, we'll throw a black onto it, but we'll call it a three purple and a black.

SPEAKER_04 2:25:14

Four success three threat.

SPEAKER_00 2:25:17

So you can jab him with a uh stim full of something, some concoction that's not usually in there. You can inject it into his neck, keeping him uh knocked out, falling into a deeper. He goes completely limp, maybe too limp. His you can kind of open his eyes to check, and uh, although they are red and yellow, they are kind of rolling back into his head.

SPEAKER_07 2:25:43

Did he have red and yellow eyes this whole time and were like, he seems f- Oh that's suspicious. This does That's weird.

SPEAKER_02 2:25:53

This yeah, no, this doesn't feel as though this is something that is brought on to him. It feels as er the sorry that he brought on to himself. This does feel and I'm not I'm not even just saying this. Um I'm not even just saying this because Devin knows that Palpatine is bad. Um, but like he is acting much differently, so much differently than he was before.

SPEAKER_07 2:26:19

Cause like, did he end up using that red crystal after all? Or was he still using his green one? Because if it was a red one, like maybe there's something in there that like brainjacked him or like.

SPEAKER_00 2:26:29

No, he was using his uh his green one.

SPEAKER_07 2:26:31

Ah, no, that was just him. Just him, baby. Oh, that's disappointing. But we got him. Eh, we got him.

SPEAKER_02 2:26:38

Eh? Let's see, let's see if we can interrogate him somehow. I mean he's not gonna go back. Oh, he's fucking out, yeah.

SPEAKER_07 2:26:44

Yeah, I think I feel like that's gonna be taking him to uh either back to the Jedi from whence he came, or uh, you know, I don't know.

SPEAKER_00 2:26:52

And after everything's kind of settled, the Senate guards come and they take him. Uh, and Palpatine says to you guys, that was quite a performance you put on in both senses of the word. I get the feeling that you aren't exactly an improvised comedy group. Yes, and see, she's a pr we're professional, she's a professional. Well, I'm just glad to know that my program is seeing dividends. You do work for the SBI, yes?

SPEAKER_02 2:27:23

So your program. Ah, you're the one that f uh that puts the money in our pockets.

SPEAKER_00 2:27:30

You might say that. Uh and uh I will have to watch your careers with great interest.

SPEAKER_02 2:27:36

Ooh, you see that? Uh d dad Daddy is impressed with us.

SPEAKER_07 2:27:42

Chris Vitality, you gotta keep that praise king to yourself.

SPEAKER_00 2:27:47

But this was a quite a close call, and I fear that uh perhaps your group is not being supplied with uh the uh utensils it should have to be able to combat threats like this rogue Jedi. Who knows what he was doing or what he was after, but he's quite a dangerous threat, and I noticed that he had a lightsaber, but you four do not. I'll see to it that you receive your own weapons from the temple, and I will make sure to do it with great haste. Hey.

SPEAKER_02 2:28:26

Uh is it is it just me, Zoe? But it feels as though I don't know, there's something more going on. Either some kind of conspiracy or I don't know what, but I feel it it requires a lot more investigation. Uh between you and me, I feel as though there's uh uh some things that we don't quite uh some things that we don't quite know yet, and we might need to ask some questions to some certain people.

SPEAKER_07 2:28:53

Like, I I don't suppose that by virtue of the fact that I've had suppress com like committed and active this entire time, would I have picked up any juju from other people in here? Um, no. Ah no, that's like specifically sense, isn't it? Yeah. Dang. Oh well. Okay, do we want to go back to that Jedi that gave us the secret mission and be like, hey, so what do you know about Mace Windu?

SPEAKER_06 2:29:21

Thalm.

SPEAKER_02 2:29:23

Yeah, let's go let's go back to Thalm and see what's uh see what's uh Oh god, the Thalm song!

SPEAKER_07 2:29:30

Let me see that, Thumb.

SPEAKER_00 2:29:32

Like when you would go did a did a Yeah, so uh as uh Voss is being taken away by the Senate Guards and uh Palpatine promises to see you properly outfitted for your future missions, uh, you can make a note to uh at the next opportunity return to the Jedi Temple and confer with Master Tholm, which you'll probably be able to do next time on Star Wars Empire Wreckers.
