S13E13 - The Heat Is On

Transcript

SPEAKER_00 0:00

Hey everyone, thanks for listening to Star Wars Empire Wreckers, the Star Wars actual play podcast that can call itself a period piece for a very disgusting reason. Who's ready to do laundry today?

SPEAKER_04 0:14

Oh god.

SPEAKER_05 0:15

I don't get it.

SPEAKER_04 0:17

Calaisette's ready to do laundry today. And if any of her friends found out why she was having to do laundry, she would wishes that she had the wings to fly away from the shame. Because pads have wings for our three male recording people.

SPEAKER_06 0:33

Okay. This is news. Breaking news.

SPEAKER_05 0:36

Breaking news, pads have wings. Uh hello, croissant. Uh uh, je m'appelle Cressant. Uh, I am a feminist. I believe women's hygiene products should be free, and men should have to pay five hundred dimes more for them.

SPEAKER_02 0:49

Hell yeah.

SPEAKER_05 0:52

Stick of deodorant?$100, please.$100, please.

SPEAKER_04 0:58

No, Crissant, that is a massandrist, which we also are.

SPEAKER_09 1:05

Starzan can relate as he spent his awkward teen years cleaning blood from his context and from his cloth. It is not his own blood. Mostly it's the blood of his enemies that he would wash off in the rivers of the unknown.

SPEAKER_01 1:22

The unknown?

SPEAKER_09 1:22

But if Starzan's own blood were to make its way in there, there would just be no way of no way.

SPEAKER_04 1:28

It's the blood of everyone who tried to steal your seed. Oh, I love how layered that was.

SPEAKER_06 1:35

You have to have a lore dump in every Starzan rant. And we're just like, wait, what?

SPEAKER_05 1:41

The rivers of the unknown. I was I was stuck on the uh blood covered cod piece.

SPEAKER_04 1:47

Yeah, I was kind of stuck on that too.

SPEAKER_00 1:50

Lots of things get stuck on that. That's why it's blood covered.

SPEAKER_06 1:54

That's why it has to do laundry. I meant to say loincloth, but I'm like, he has both. He has both, sure. Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 2:01

And Illyria is ready to do laundry. Look, I didn't realize until 90% way through cleaning those shorts that she did not spill juice on them, that uh it was blood.

SPEAKER_04 2:13

That she is are you cleaning Kala's shit too? Kala with her Kala running away with her wings.

SPEAKER_06 2:20

I can't fucking breathe. Speaking of lord dumps.

SPEAKER_00 2:25

And if you're ready to sip from thine diva goblet, why don't you come along with us to a long time ago in a galaxy far, far away in Star Wars. The clone wars continue to rage across the galaxy. From their new headquarters on Coruscant, the Senate Bureau of Investigation deploys agents to disrupt Separatist activities and monitor potential threats from within the Republic. Agents hailing from the Jedi Service Corps are often called upon to deal with rogue Jedi who have abandoned the Order's code and seek justice by their own hand. Sented to Separatist Space to recover a deranged Dark Jedi vigilante, one group of four sensitive agents returned with their quarry and an additional passenger.

SPEAKER_04 3:07

Oh yeah, I'm trying to remember what happened last time. I didn't have a chance to re-listen to this episode.

SPEAKER_01 3:11

Okay, okay. Uh here's my notes. Killed Senator, caught Jedi, and convinced D16 to come with us. Who the fuck is of the giant robot? Did we kill him? No. That's where I ended. Oh, he did come with us. Okay, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. We saved murder bot.

SPEAKER_06 3:28

We s we saved the senator and then decided to kill her anyways. Well, she's a separatist, senator.

SPEAKER_00 3:34

Yeah, for reasons unknown.

SPEAKER_06 3:35

We can't allow the assassination to go uh uh on if you're gonna be able to do it.

SPEAKER_00 3:39

You saved her and then the assassination was pinned on the mining droid, and uh Starzan and Chris like saved her from the Jedi, and now the Separatists think that the Jedi are saving the senators, but they just got the wrong one. There are two assassinations happening at the same time.

SPEAKER_06 4:00

Wow, what a coincidence. What going on.

SPEAKER_00 4:03

What going on?

SPEAKER_06 4:05

When you play the assassination game, you either win or you get assassinated poignant stuff.

SPEAKER_05 4:12

Fucking I'm J R Tolkien.

SPEAKER_00 4:14

But after you uh return to Coruscant and you give uh D16 over to the Republic to be turned into uh a new asset, hopefully a hero, like his like the famous M14X, and you can dump off Tolodi Killmoman, aka Malleus, aka the Hammer of the Dark Side, aka Warb Null back with the Jedi for rehabilitation or whatever they do with him. And then it's quiet for a couple of months. Would you say that it's a little bit too quiet?

SPEAKER_01 4:44

Like two months, like how much money worth of work?

SPEAKER_00 4:48

Like a thousand, like a thousand credits. It's quiet. Okay.

SPEAKER_06 4:51

Hell yeah.

SPEAKER_00 4:52

And during those two months, uh, if you keep your ear to the ground, you may have heard that there have been unconfirmed reports of uh Jedi intervening to save a separatist senator from an assassination. Oh my god! And that, hmm, maybe, maybe, you know, maybe the Jedi are siding with the Separatists, or maybe the Jedi are just looking out for the good of all. Or maybe there are also in some dark, uh, poorly punctuated corners of the internet, people who believe that the Jedi planned the whole thing, that because the senator died anyway, they just wanted to look like heroes and there was a third Jedi on some grassy knoll somewhere. Holy shit.

SPEAKER_01 5:38

Man, that would be silly. From their point of view, the Jedi are evil.

SPEAKER_05 5:44

Yeah. It's a conspiracy like in the X-Files, Roswell style.

SPEAKER_04 5:49

Listen, no one was on the grassy knoll.

SPEAKER_00 5:52

And by Roswell style. Of course, you mean a bunch of sexy teens in New Mexico.

SPEAKER_03 5:57

Hell yeah.

SPEAKER_01 5:58

When will somebody be on my grassy hole?

SPEAKER_03 6:02

Grassy hole! What is it grassy?

SPEAKER_01 6:07

Why did I say that while drinking?

SPEAKER_05 6:09

Just like everyone else.

SPEAKER_01 6:12

Sprayed my glasses. When will someone spray my asses?

SPEAKER_06 6:23

She's getting crunk. Are you?

SPEAKER_01 6:25

I told you I got five hours of sleep last night.

SPEAKER_05 6:28

Elyria! You're getting saucy.

SPEAKER_04 6:31

Elyria, w from whence does the sudden hornyness come?

SPEAKER_05 6:35

From five hours of sleep.

SPEAKER_04 6:37

No!

SPEAKER_05 6:38

She told us she needs uh she needs to answer rest, or we need to uh get out this energy. We need to uh find a good place for you to direct this wait, you've already expended your uh your energy. What do you want to do right now? Do you just want to sleep?

SPEAKER_04 6:55

If Illyria doesn't get enough sleep, she resets to being hedonism bot.

SPEAKER_05 7:01

We need to be sure that you are uh as uh in tip top shape as you can possibly be. You've got here, I'll I'll be here to inspire you. Is it very inspiring? Uh you're you're so cool. You're you probably think everything is about you because it is, because you are amazing and everything centers around you. I don't know what I'm doing right now. I'm also very tired.

SPEAKER_06 7:26

You're so cool. Probably think the song is about you.

SPEAKER_05 7:31

I don't know why that song popped in my head. I don't know why that song popped in my head. I have no fucking clue why that pop song popped in my head. Okay, it's a good one. Honestly, here for it. That's fucking crazy.

SPEAKER_00 7:42

Chris, why don't you roll a leadership?

SPEAKER_05 7:44

Uh give me a black on that.

SPEAKER_00 7:47

Yeah, I can add a black. It'll be a two-purple leadership.

SPEAKER_05 7:54

Very nice, very nice. I understand. I well, I could take away a black. I could take a cringe and be base. I I could take away a black anyway, it looks like. So that means nothing. Sorry, what how many purple? Three?

SPEAKER_00 8:12

Uh, two purple.

SPEAKER_05 8:14

Two purple, okay.

SPEAKER_01 8:16

Don't make him suffer for the things I said out of character.

SPEAKER_05 8:21

Everyone suffers. I got three advantages. Woohoo! Wahoo!

SPEAKER_04 8:27

Elyria takes pity on you and is like, that did cheer me up. Yeah. It did, it did.

SPEAKER_00 8:32

Cheer her up. You summoning this top 40 radio hit from 53 years ago.

SPEAKER_01 8:39

Uh, you mean a long, long time ago in the uh long long time ahead.

SPEAKER_00 8:45

This is uh this is You're So Cool, it's a totally different song. It's like it was uh released in Space Teen 72 by Starley Kaiman.

SPEAKER_01 9:00

It's just a coincidence that sounds similar.

SPEAKER_06 9:03

Yeah. It's actually about Warren Spadey.

SPEAKER_05 9:09

Uh wonderful.

SPEAKER_04 9:11

So, what have we been doing for these last months?

SPEAKER_06 9:13

Good question.

SPEAKER_04 9:14

This sitting around singing songs, references 50 year olds.

SPEAKER_05 9:19

Not getting enough sleep, not partying enough, just being weary of everything that's behind our backs because there's gonna be a war breaking out at any minute. Oh fuck, it's here.

SPEAKER_00 9:29

Elyria being oddly horny. To make things worse, uh work calls.

SPEAKER_01 9:33

I only got five hours of sleep, uh, so I because I had to get away from all of this, I went and trained my lightsaber on the roof at the middle of the night.

SPEAKER_04 9:43

I I was trying to remember who is that character that Elyria maybe had a one-night stand with that was disappointing. Did you go and call that guy up?

SPEAKER_01 9:52

Wasn't that cloaklum? I don't remember any of this.

SPEAKER_04 9:55

No, it was a fucking God. It was just some random dude that Chris made up. I don't remember now.

SPEAKER_06 10:02

I don't remember either. I think I'm thinking of a different character end campaign.

SPEAKER_04 10:05

Yeah, you're thinking of Vanry getting her disappointing fuck on.

SPEAKER_06 10:11

A reoccurring theme in this game series, it appears. A disappointing fuck.

SPEAKER_04 10:15

Yeah. Empire Wreckers. Providers of disappointing fucks.

SPEAKER_06 10:21

We need to find somebody who would not be disappointing. How old is Lando these days?

SPEAKER_00 10:26

Uh he'd be like 10?

SPEAKER_04 10:30

Anyway, speaking of disappointing fucks, is that Mr. Gray calling?

SPEAKER_00 10:34

Yeah, he calls you off to the SBI.

SPEAKER_04 10:36

This disappointed fucker. Okay, let's go see Mr. Gray.

SPEAKER_00 10:40

You could return to his gray office. You know the drill by now, uh, clone trooper escort to his shitty nondescript office. Through what is his rank now?

SPEAKER_04 10:53

Is he Commander Gray?

SPEAKER_00 10:54

Supervisor.

SPEAKER_04 10:55

Supervisor Grey, that's right.

SPEAKER_01 10:58

A bullshit job if I ever heard of one.

SPEAKER_00 11:01

Yeah, he supervises you guys. Not well, but he doesn't. He does look like he got like five hours of sleep. There's a uh a steaming cup of calf on his uh on his desk.

SPEAKER_06 11:14

That can't be a coincidence. What were you two doing up all night?

SPEAKER_01 11:17

Having a disappointment.

SPEAKER_06 11:19

Did you ever disappointing fuck with it with supervisor gray? Ooh, this nondescript man. How many shades of gray did you get to until 5 a.m.?

SPEAKER_04 11:29

I mean, with this guy probably like two.

SPEAKER_05 11:33

How how old is Elyria? Is she at the age where she's in her 20s? Oh, okay, so yeah, she's a single girl. She'll very very quickly lose faith.

SPEAKER_04 11:43

Yeah, Elyria's old enough to have disappointing fucks. That is old enough to know that is disappointing.

SPEAKER_01 11:52

I follow the Jedi code.

SPEAKER_04 11:57

Yeah. You're allowed to fuck, you just can't fall in love.

SPEAKER_05 12:01

It's just really funny seeing Elyria so fucking uh wild.

SPEAKER_06 12:08

Chancellor Grey coming out in that Patame outfit. Oh, Elyria, I thought you were gonna be here alone. I'm a controller, right? This wouldn't be.

SPEAKER_00 12:16

Are you ready to experience Gainsborough or perhaps charcoal?

SPEAKER_01 12:24

Google something.

SPEAKER_02 12:25

I wanna go straight for manatee.

SPEAKER_00 12:28

Put this in your mouth. Would you like some graphite?

SPEAKER_06 12:32

Ooh, graphite! Is that really a decalcate?

SPEAKER_00 12:36

I call this one fog.

SPEAKER_05 12:40

That's even better than storm.

SPEAKER_02 12:45

Hell yeah.

SPEAKER_00 12:46

Yeah, unfortunately, he's not blasting any huge clouds of cotton today.

SPEAKER_06 12:50

Uh are we all a little loopy today? We're all a little loopy. I had a week. I'm ex- I'm I'm excited.

SPEAKER_00 12:58

And he says, hey, hey, come in, guys.

SPEAKER_04 13:01

Let's go in. Elyria, did you have a disappointing fuck with this guy?

SPEAKER_01 13:05

No.

SPEAKER_04 13:05

Are you sure?

SPEAKER_01 13:06

Yes.

SPEAKER_04 13:07

Was it a satisfactory fuck? Did you have any kind of fuck with this guy?

SPEAKER_01 13:10

Well, I know from the more concerned that he called us guys. It seems very uncomfortable. Hey guy.

SPEAKER_00 13:16

How are you doing, great? What's up, bro? What's up, bros? Sorry, I've been I I was up late. I only got like five hours of sleep last night.

SPEAKER_03 13:23

Shut up. Oh my god, same here. Did everyone on the planet only get five hours of sleep or just us?

SPEAKER_00 13:28

Well, if uh everybody did, that sounds like a uh an issue that we need to look into, but no, I was um remember that droid you brought in?

SPEAKER_02 13:36

Oh yeah, yeah. Yeah.

SPEAKER_05 13:38

Which one was that one again?

SPEAKER_00 13:39

There was from Kaon. Yes, right, okay.

SPEAKER_03 13:43

Yeah, it has the same voice of like Forex, right?

SPEAKER_00 13:46

Huh? I don't know.

SPEAKER_03 13:48

Nothing.

SPEAKER_00 13:48

Anyway, um, yeah, no, so uh since then we managed to uh crack open his brain module and uh he's got a lot of useful data in there, and we spent a lot of time uh I guess, you know, he's a it's a droid, so it's got some uh for whatever reason it's got some pretty classified uh separatist codes in there. You said uh this thing was a gladiator or something?

SPEAKER_02 14:13

Yeah, wait, you said he cracked did he kill it?

SPEAKER_00 14:16

I mean it wasn't alive, but um I mean it's been uh disassembled.

SPEAKER_02 14:20

Oh, uh.

SPEAKER_01 14:22

Didn't we promise it that we that wouldn't happen?

SPEAKER_00 14:24

Like we're keeping we have to keep its uh brain module online to harvest the data, but um Oh, yeah, we oooh.

SPEAKER_05 14:32

That that sounds um bad. Is he like at least happy? Can you make him h I I it can robots be happy?

SPEAKER_04 14:41

Like, I feel like we specifically brought it in because we're like nothing bad's gonna happen to you, you can just help us out, and then like shit grey, I don't like being made into a liar.

SPEAKER_05 14:51

I if I'm going to lie, I would rather lie through my own integrity.

SPEAKER_06 14:54

Well, what did you tell us? Is shit gray one of those shades?

SPEAKER_04 14:58

Well, I wish I could tell you the exact words, Mr. Grey, but the person who controls me didn't have time to re-listen to the last episode.

SPEAKER_00 15:05

Well, look, it's I I can guarantee that it's being put into good use. Uh we can't even memory wipe the thing because a lot of its programming and data so tied into its uh its brain module. It is still intact. I mean, once this uh once it's outlived its usefulness, maybe we could put it back into a new body or something, but I don't know how likely it is given how uh you know how droids are.

SPEAKER_05 15:28

Uh yes. I don't know. In what sense?

SPEAKER_00 15:32

Well, just uh with the whole, you know, separatist thing. Having a uh a loose separatist droid that has this kind of information, we need to keep it on lockdown. But if those droids, if that, you know, if the droids ever uh get offlined, then maybe it's safe to uh put this thing in a new chassis.

SPEAKER_04 15:50

I guess just you know, feels bad, bro. Feels bad.

SPEAKER_01 15:54

I guess if you put it back into a body that doesn't have a giant cannon on its uh arm to take revenge upon us, then.

SPEAKER_05 16:02

If he does come back in a body, do you think we can like memory wipe him until it's the day before when he was happiest with us?

SPEAKER_00 16:09

I don't think so. Doing any kind of memory wipe seems like it would uh scramble this thing completely. You don't put him on the time machine back up? Uh something like this, no. It seems like it's gone for quite a while without any uh intervention.

SPEAKER_07 16:23

Uh no.

SPEAKER_00 16:25

No. The point is, we got this thing hooked up. It's been uh descrambling some separatist communication channels, some droid channels.

SPEAKER_03 16:33

Okay, has it found anything interesting?

SPEAKER_00 16:36

Yeah, uh I was listening to it last night, and something pretty interesting came through pretty pretty late, but I'm glad I'm I caught it. Uh so there's something happening. Uh a group of Jedi are gonna be meeting on a planet called Aloxol. From what we can gather, they're Jedi who have uh invoked something called the Rite of Denial, which is where they've, I guess, opted out of the war.

SPEAKER_03 17:03

Okay. So pacifists.

SPEAKER_00 17:05

We don't know. But according to uh what came through the channels, uh the Separatists are planning to send their own agent to the event. Potentially an undercover acolyte of the counts. We don't know who. Uh their agent was only referred to by a code name, Corundum. Beyond that, we don't know anything. But given that uh you are Jedi adjacent, maybe it would be useful to send you to this meetup on a Locksel and see if you can't prevent that agent from disturbing things. I don't know what these Jedi are trying to meet about. If they're doing something nefarious, maybe you could put a stop to that too.

SPEAKER_02 17:41

Uh which which Jedi which Jedi are that? Is it who are meeting?

SPEAKER_00 17:46

Well, that's the thing, because they've invoked the right of denial, uh, they don't have responsibility to the council, so their activities don't need to go reported. Uh our requests about this meeting have kind of been bounced back. Again, this is uh something that we just came across last night.

SPEAKER_04 18:04

So we we don't know the names of the Jedi that are there.

SPEAKER_00 18:07

Fortunately, no.

SPEAKER_04 18:08

And you said the uh the uh Acolyte's codename was Corundum?

SPEAKER_00 18:12

Yeah, Corundum.

SPEAKER_04 18:13

It because like we've been doing our shit for a while. Could we roll anything to see if we might have heard this name, this code name in passing?

SPEAKER_00 18:23

Probably a knowledge, whatever knowledge you think would help here. If you think it's like an underworld connection, could be underworld, if you think it would just be like a general knowledge, maybe education, if you want to know if like that word has any specific um attributes, maybe uh knowledge warfare, potentially. Can if you wanna if you've maybe heard that within kind of the uh Republic military setting at any point or dealing with the separatists.

SPEAKER_04 18:53

I mean, I've been meaning to get a rank in underworld. I'll do a one in underworld to see if uh the shady characters I hang around with might have said something.

SPEAKER_00 19:04

Could streetwise work? Um I don't think streetwise would work in this case.

SPEAKER_05 19:10

Alright, I'll go warfare. Uh uh, what's the role?

SPEAKER_00 19:13

Uh I'll call it a three purple.

SPEAKER_06 19:16

Ooh, two success, two thread.

SPEAKER_05 19:19

Ooh, success and advantage.

SPEAKER_06 19:22

I'm guessing not Xenology, right?

SPEAKER_00 19:24

Um, I mean if you think there might be like that, might have some kind of application to another species or like an animal or something.

SPEAKER_06 19:31

Sure. Two success, two thread. I have a rank in Xenology. So that's transit. The one thing Star Zone has some smart on.

SPEAKER_01 19:39

Should I do something nobody else has rolled?

SPEAKER_00 19:42

Uh well we've got Warfare, Underworld, and Xenology.

SPEAKER_01 19:46

Lore?

SPEAKER_00 19:47

Lore, Lore can help.

SPEAKER_05 19:50

I got a success and advantage.

SPEAKER_00 19:52

I should complain, but fuck, I should have rolled lore. So, um what all of you know. So all of you got success. Uh so all of you have heard, all of you know what curundum is.

SPEAKER_06 20:05

Okay.

SPEAKER_00 20:06

So you can carry that over from your real real world experience.

SPEAKER_06 20:09

Nice.

SPEAKER_00 20:09

For those of you who don't know what curundum is.

SPEAKER_04 20:12

Yes. Uh I I was gonna say I Google this.

SPEAKER_05 20:16

No, everybody who's in the crowd, you know.

SPEAKER_00 20:18

So all of you would know that corundum is a mineral, um, and it has two primary gem varieties, ruby and sapphire.

SPEAKER_02 20:29

Okay.

SPEAKER_00 20:30

So uh rubies and sapphires, those are both types of corundum. Uh so you all know that. Um Illyria, Kala, Starzan, you got threats, so you don't know how that would apply in this case. Chris, you got advantage. I did. So, you know, okay, corundum is a mineral, rubies and sapphires. Uh, you you did warfare, you're in the midst of a war, a lot of Jedi uh running around. You've recently built new weapons yourselves, and you remember, wait, a ruby is a red crystal, a sapphire is a blue crystal.

SPEAKER_08 21:06

Oh.

SPEAKER_00 21:07

So maybe maybe corundum is a reference to somebody who's trying to like swap the blue to the red, maybe. So it could be somebody who's trying to.

SPEAKER_04 21:17

Or the red to the blue if someone's trying to come back.

SPEAKER_00 21:20

Yeah, so so you're you have a pretty good idea, like it's probably a reference to red and blue lightsaber crystals in some capacity, or the colors red and blue, rubies and sapphires. Yeah. Some mixture.

SPEAKER_05 21:40

Lightsaber crystals again? Where was curundum again?

SPEAKER_00 21:43

Uh corundum is a type of mineral. Crundum is a type of mineral. Yeah, it's it's basically acolyte.

SPEAKER_05 21:50

Yeah. We call it X on the fucking street.

SPEAKER_00 21:53

Yeah, but those you got threat, you can't remember if there's if like you ever met anybody or came across anybody who had that. Code name previously. Call me Karina. Call me crazy. Grace says, well, that's you know, corrupting Jedi. I figured that's a good enough reason to send you fine folks in.

SPEAKER_07 22:10

Oh, it's at least where they look.

SPEAKER_00 22:13

And uh, since we don't exactly know who this is or who the Jedi are gonna be, you're gonna have to kind of be on your watch. Uh, it might be a good idea to go in as Jedi, not agents of the SBI. Sort of keep things on the down low. Uh we have the custard gannet prepped for you. Um, what if I am not good at being a Jedi?

SPEAKER_03 22:32

Well you're not good at nothing.

SPEAKER_01 22:34

We already know you are interesting, but you do it every day. I mean, if you were good at being a Jedi, you'd still be one.

SPEAKER_05 22:42

Oh no no lyria. Zetfair also fuck you. Zetfair also fuck you.

SPEAKER_04 22:51

Shots fired. And I thought you didn't like using guns.

SPEAKER_01 22:58

I I have I have that gun. I have a gun.

SPEAKER_05 23:01

I thought I thought I thought you were gonna say. For a second there, I thought you were gonna say, I got that bitch in me.

SPEAKER_01 23:08

Please. I have a gun. What what kind of nerd would shout, I have a gun, or I have a bomb?

SPEAKER_04 23:17

What kind of fucking loser? But uh, okay, when you say like we should go as Jedi is say mean like, you know, laser swords on a belt, do dress up in some robes.

SPEAKER_00 23:27

Yeah, from what we can tell, this is a conclave of Jedi who are, for whatever reason, deciding not to aid the Republic in the war effort.

SPEAKER_06 23:37

How dare they.

SPEAKER_00 23:38

This could be, I don't know, it could potentially result in a worst-case scenario. Uh, we get a bunch of Jedi going over to the Separatists if this agent is indeed a corrupting force. Maybe there's uh schism within the Jedi that this is uh the tip of the spear. We don't know. But going in as Jedi who are trying to, you know, join this group or just be there for the discussion would probably be better than going in as spies.

SPEAKER_01 24:05

Let's go give those pacifists a taste of their own medicine.

SPEAKER_04 24:10

Yeah, let's go kill these people for refusing to participate in a war. Ha ha.

SPEAKER_00 24:14

TC.

SPEAKER_03 24:15

Not actually, I didn't say that out loud. I said that in my mind.

SPEAKER_00 24:18

That's only a thought crime.

SPEAKER_05 24:20

Listen, Little Creek's crimes. Hey, how how how much how much uh uh uh oh, what's the fucking word? Dark side points does she get after that. Conflict. For a thought crime.

SPEAKER_04 24:33

Come on, we don't do thought crimes around here.

SPEAKER_00 24:37

Yeah, you do real ones.

SPEAKER_04 24:39

I was joking. So uptight, Chris. It's like you don't even know how to do it.

SPEAKER_05 24:45

Why are you shaking your head at me? As if as if to say I wasn't joking. I was thinking this uh legitimately.

SPEAKER_04 24:52

Chris, why are you trying to put that on me? Don't put that on me, girl.

SPEAKER_05 24:56

I'm not voting any I'm not voting anything on the channel.

SPEAKER_04 24:58

Why are you making things up, Chris? Why do you want your friends to be corrupted?

SPEAKER_05 25:03

I'm not going I don't want you to be corrupted. Yeah, bad friend, Chris.

unknown 25:08

I just don't.

SPEAKER_05 25:09

I just know. I just know that sometimes uh things happen to people that I love, and I don't want anything bad to happen to you guys.

SPEAKER_04 25:18

Aw, we love you too, Chris. Thank you.

SPEAKER_05 25:22

If you see something, shut the fuck up.

SPEAKER_04 25:28

Hey, you watch yourself. We love you, but we don't love you so much that we won't fucking teach you a lesson.

SPEAKER_05 25:36

Show me your Popeye tattoo on your arm.

SPEAKER_04 25:41

Okay, shit. So cussed again, it's ready. We should probably go and dress up and as Jedi and then uh Man, we're just never gonna get to do anything on the questing trail anymore, are we?

SPEAKER_05 25:53

We're fine. We're fine.

SPEAKER_00 25:55

Everything's fine. Yeah, they they can give you uh some so you have your uh service core robes, but uh the SBI has acquired some more legitimate looking Jedi attire that uh would make you appear to be full, full knights.

SPEAKER_04 26:14

When you say that they've acquired it, uh d does it look like there's any blaster holes in these robes. No, this one freshly dry cleaned. Freshly mended, don't ask why.

SPEAKER_00 26:27

They probably got all sorts of uh funky spy outfits. But you can uh dress in robes uh approximating the look of uh somebody who is a full and uh legitimate Jedi Jedi on your legitimate business.

SPEAKER_04 26:43

Yeah, let's legitimately be Jedi.

SPEAKER_05 26:45

We're the Jedi.

SPEAKER_00 26:47

And the custard Gannett has been uh given a new old paint job.

SPEAKER_04 26:53

Oh, to make it look like we're really leaning into the Jedi thing.

SPEAKER_00 26:56

Yeah, that you guys are just like Jedi adventurers who have uh come come to uh this place for discussions about the force or whatever it is they're after. So what kind of paint job do you think they gave it?

SPEAKER_05 27:08

Um they probably they probably uh buffed out all the rested spots.

SPEAKER_04 27:13

Yeah, like I'm assuming that it's like in the uh the style of the Jedi currently, where it's like asceticism chic. We're wearing like brown oh yeah, these are brown peasants' robes, but they're the most immaculate brown peasants' robes you've ever seen.

SPEAKER_05 27:29

We this is as if to say, you see, this is how you take care of clothing. You could do that with anything.

SPEAKER_04 27:36

And then you just no, no, we're just like you.

SPEAKER_01 27:40

Sexy pinup of Yattle.

SPEAKER_04 27:43

You think they added that? Or do you are you gonna add that?

SPEAKER_00 27:48

Quick quickly do up a stencil.

SPEAKER_04 27:50

Hey, just put this on the bow.

SPEAKER_00 27:53

The uh custard gannet then would be would probably be painted in the typical colours of Republic ships, which is kind of like that uh deep maroon with white.

SPEAKER_02 28:02

Okay.

SPEAKER_00 28:03

Too bad there's only four of you. We can't be the maroon five.

SPEAKER_06 28:08

Maroon Vive? Maroon Vive? That's the European way. This is this is deep dropout lore, you guys will get it. It's okay.

SPEAKER_04 28:15

Yeah, sorry.

SPEAKER_00 28:16

I mean, Chris already says things the European way. Now, the thing about Aloxel.

SPEAKER_05 28:21

Which is weird because he's from Texas.

SPEAKER_00 28:24

Yeah, yeah, we we have established that he is just putting on a fake accent.

SPEAKER_07 28:28

Absolutely. The women love ladies love cool gyms.

SPEAKER_00 28:33

So the uh thing about Aloxel is it's in the deep core. So you're in the core, but it's in the deep core. In the deep core, there's a lot of like clusters and newborn stars, and like it's pretty hard to navigate there.

SPEAKER_04 28:47

Okay. Good thing we got the best navigator on our team.

SPEAKER_01 28:51

Hell yeah. The deep core. That was a bad one. Nicky voice. Uh I'm from the south. The deep south. Uh Astrogation? I have no ranks in astrogation still. Whatever.

SPEAKER_04 29:08

Yes, or a navigator, and you don't have any ranks in astrogation.

SPEAKER_01 29:11

I'm not an I'm a healer. I have the hands of a healer. Smurdy.

SPEAKER_00 29:16

Yeah, she's a chist. She lost her ability to skywalk when she hit puberty. Don't miscareer me.

SPEAKER_01 29:22

I didn't. I still have four I still have four green.

SPEAKER_00 29:26

Alright, uh, then prove it with a three purple astrogation roll. Hell yeah.

SPEAKER_01 29:31

To advantage.

SPEAKER_00 29:33

Hilary. So you can uh chart a course to the deep core, not to a lock soul by itself.

SPEAKER_04 29:42

Uh, would it be for me to uh do some piloting to try to get us there and then the rest of the way.

SPEAKER_01 29:48

Everybody knows how great my roles are. They're always talking about how great my roles are.

SPEAKER_04 29:55

A lot of people don't know that I roll really great all the time. Everyone's been talking about it. Everywhere I go, it's Illyria, Illyria, Illyria.

SPEAKER_00 30:03

So uh you kind of, like as a person who is familiar with uh the Jedi, the Jedi history. You got this to advantage. So you can plot a course not to Aloxol, but to Tython, uh, which is a planet that is deep in the lore of the Jedi, uh, one of the rumored origin places for the Jedi as a whole. May or may not be true, but you can plot a course to Tython. It's rich in the force. So once you get there, uh you can drop out a hyperspace above the planet. And although it's not where you need to go, it because it is so strong in the force, if you need to make a second jump while in the deep core from Tython, you can roll your force onto that as well.

SPEAKER_06 30:51

Oh, nice.

SPEAKER_00 30:52

So since you're closer, it'll only be a two-purple, and you can add your force onto that.

SPEAKER_04 30:56

And would that be uh an astrogation or a piloting to get us there?

SPEAKER_00 31:00

That'll be astrogation.

SPEAKER_04 31:01

Oh, okay.

SPEAKER_01 31:02

Oh, I thought we were talking about piloting. Two purple two purple and your force. And my force. Oh, three success, two advantage, one dark side. I don't I won't use it.

SPEAKER_05 31:15

Yeah, you don't gotta. You're you're you're so fucking in.

SPEAKER_01 31:19

I'm so successful, I'm gonna use my rage.

SPEAKER_02 31:24

My pride!

SPEAKER_09 31:25

Five hours of sleep will do this to you!

SPEAKER_00 31:29

Yeah, so Titan, despite being an ancient uh Jedi world, is not strictly steeped in uh the good side of the force, but there is evil there as well, especially uh these days having been abandoned for thousands of years. Most people, there's no reason to ever go there, just the uh the difficulty of the journey itself is enough discouragement. But after taking a quick flyby of the planet, you can recalibrate and head to Aloxel. You've got those advantages, so you can bring up some additional data about the planet. Um, Aloxel is hot and arid desert world. It has a 150-year orbital period, and for 125 of those years, it's too hot for anything to survive on the surface. So for 25 out of every 150 years, uh, it is hot but livable. You you could say it's hot and spicy. It might be a little bit.

SPEAKER_04 32:35

The Jedi, they were just meeting here. They weren't living here, right? Or were they?

SPEAKER_00 32:40

They weren't living here, it was a temporary gathering.

SPEAKER_04 32:43

Okay.

SPEAKER_00 32:44

So presumably, uh it's in that 25-year livable period now. Hopefully.

SPEAKER_04 32:51

So it's just a ruse to get us to go down there and kill ourselves.

SPEAKER_01 32:55

I'm sure our ship has encouragement to do that.

SPEAKER_04 33:01

I was waiting for the. You think I need an excuse to kill myself? Come on, look at us.

SPEAKER_01 33:06

What if we landed and our ship was just like, hey, it's a thousand degrees outside, and just like, nah, let's go. Let's check it out.

SPEAKER_00 33:12

I like those eyes. Because you got those advantages, you can also see once you arrive that uh your sensors do, like, you don't necessarily know where to land on this planet, it's just a big desert. But your sensors do pick up um a couple of Jedi Starfighter hyperspace rings in orbit.

SPEAKER_04 33:31

Oh, okay. So they they've already abandoned their rings. They must be down on the planet.

SPEAKER_00 33:36

Yeah. They've abandoned their voice. Uh, if you want to roll me a computer's, you could potentially trace the fighters that they're linked to.

SPEAKER_04 33:43

Illyria.

SPEAKER_03 33:45

Need your smarts again.

SPEAKER_04 33:46

Illyria, you're the only smart one. Computers?

SPEAKER_05 33:49

Yeah. Computers. Uh, we don't want to tell you this because we don't want you to have too big of an ego, but you are the most important person in the room. Yes.

SPEAKER_06 33:59

You definitely have less of stars and trying to use a computer.

SPEAKER_01 34:02

I don't even study a computer. I'm just like naturally good at it. I don't even have any ranks in it.

SPEAKER_04 34:08

This is why we can't give you any compliments. You just take an inch, you go a mile. This is why we gotta make fun of you for a little while.

SPEAKER_01 34:16

Naturally to me, I'll do it, I'll do it.

SPEAKER_03 34:20

You know, some people are just naturally talented. I'm Ole.

SPEAKER_05 34:24

No, my favorite part of that is like, I'll fucking do it, I'll do it. It's okay.

SPEAKER_03 34:32

No to say more.

SPEAKER_01 34:33

I know I'm the best one here. It's okay, guys. I'll go on computer. I only have nine hours of screen time a day.

SPEAKER_06 34:42

Those are rookie numbers. You gotta push those numbers up.

SPEAKER_00 34:45

So why don't you give me a two purple and a black computers to try and what's the black for?

SPEAKER_01 34:51

What was the black for?

SPEAKER_00 34:53

Well, the scanning itself is gonna be like two purple, but because you're in like a smuggler ship and you don't probably have like Jedi codes handy.

SPEAKER_04 35:03

Okay. I'll accept it this time.

SPEAKER_01 35:06

Uh I have dark vision.

SPEAKER_04 35:08

Four successes.

SPEAKER_01 35:10

Three success for a threat.

SPEAKER_04 35:13

Did you think that you were taking the black on a computer because it was dark in the cabin?

SPEAKER_01 35:18

I was looking at my character sheets. Just so you know, in case this fucking helps.

SPEAKER_04 35:24

In case you forgot God, I have dark vision.

SPEAKER_01 35:28

Because it's uh a meme in the DD community that people don't say and that I have a dark vision.

SPEAKER_05 35:34

That's a good meme. I haven't actually heard that meme.

SPEAKER_01 35:36

I can see infrared frequencies or whatever the fuck my right eyes do. Continue.

SPEAKER_00 35:42

So you can trace uh the source of the signal down to the surface. Uh however, because you got those threat, uh, you can't identify, like, there is no information you can glean about who those starfighters are kind of assigned to.

SPEAKER_04 35:58

Who gives a shit? Yeah, let's go down. Let's just go down and see what the fuck happens.

SPEAKER_00 36:02

Okay, so you can go down.

SPEAKER_05 36:03

Let's see where something happened.

SPEAKER_04 36:05

Yeah, we're like going up there, Elyria's doing computers, and Kala's just like, fuck it, we're going down, we're going down. I'm bored, let's go!

SPEAKER_00 36:14

So you can uh dive down as you're entering the atmosphere. Uh, the heat of the planet combined with just the heat of re-entry is like if you could see, like, the HWK290 doesn't have like great vision out the back, but when you land, you're probably gonna notice like the paint is starting to like bubble and peel from re-entry. So it's gonna be pretty, pretty stifling once you set out. Uh, but you can trace the signal to a large, kind of it seems like two or three-story-tall stone building. And the stone building is shaped like, at first it's like this X. You see this like X that's just kind of like on a mesa. Uh, but as you get closer, you can see that the X is actually a building designed to resemble two crossed lightsabers.

SPEAKER_02 37:06

Oh, interesting. Okay.

SPEAKER_00 37:08

So it seems to be some kind of ancient Jedi facility or ancient Sith facility. And you can see that, like, near the hilts of the lightsabers, there are about a dozen, a few more, few less, ships of various variety. There are, you can see, two Jedi starfighters. Uh, but beyond that, it's just kind of a mishmash of different ships. It seems like these Jedi who came here, they didn't all come in Jedi ships. Uh, a lot of them came as you are coming and just sort of whatever they happened to have access to. If these are pacifists and people who uh invoke the right of denial, then it makes sense that they wouldn't be flying standard issue Republic military ships. And as you set down, you can see that there is a quite sweaty looking Jedi knight who's kind of at the entrance who sort of waves at you. He is wearing like the full Jedi robes. You can see there are some deep, deep stains at his armpits. You can see like he's maintaining his composure. It seems like you get the vibe as you kind of see him from the cool air-conditioned cockpit, that he's doing this as a sign of respect to the Jedi? That like he could be wearing something cooler, but he's deciding not to.

SPEAKER_04 38:25

Like, does this guy you say he's doing it as a sign of respect to the Jedi. Doesn't he seem like he's a Jedi himself or like he's uh there to greet people?

SPEAKER_00 38:34

Well, he he is wearing Jedi robes. He seems like a Jedi as far as you can tell. He's got a lightsaber.

SPEAKER_04 38:39

Okay. Let's wave as we approach.

SPEAKER_01 38:41

Fake ass Jedi being like, hey, is this guy fucking faking it?

SPEAKER_04 38:45

Stolen belly.

SPEAKER_00 38:47

Well, you are supposed to be on the lookout for a separatist infiltrator.

SPEAKER_02 38:51

That's true. So be on the lookout.

SPEAKER_00 38:53

Zetman he is a poser. But you can uh, as you like lower the ramp, you are hit with a blast of hot air that instantly dries the snot inside your nose. Oh, I hate that. Like it's that kind of dry heat.

SPEAKER_04 39:10

God, should I take off my robe? Maybe I'll take off my robe.

SPEAKER_01 39:14

Like, I'm from Saskatchewan, I'm used to it.

SPEAKER_06 39:16

Yeah, we are a dry.

SPEAKER_01 39:18

So we get blues.

SPEAKER_05 39:19

We're a dry cold and dry heat.

SPEAKER_01 39:21

Everyone but Sarah gets blues.

SPEAKER_04 39:23

How dare you! I'm from the interior. I'm from the place that bur uh lights on fire every year. I'm from Waterloo where the vampires hang out. I don't think any of us would get blues, but I think Elyria might take a black because like, aren't Chis from a fucking ice world? That's right.

SPEAKER_06 39:40

So do any of you chis is cold? Starzan is from a jungle planet.

SPEAKER_04 39:44

Does that uh count? Huh. Are you trying to argue your way into a getting a black?

SPEAKER_01 39:50

No.

SPEAKER_00 39:51

No, I don't think um humans wouldn't Yeah, I don't think anybody would get anything, any blues to the heat. Like I think Tweelecks do and some like Nikto and stuff, but Yeah.

SPEAKER_06 40:02

Jawas, Tuscan Raiders.

SPEAKER_00 40:05

Falline, don't you're lizard people, but you don't uh you can curl up on a rock maybe, but yeah.

SPEAKER_04 40:11

Does Chris get real sluggish in cold weather? Anyways, do we have to do we have to roll constitution?

SPEAKER_00 40:17

Resilience.

SPEAKER_04 40:18

Resilience.

SPEAKER_00 40:19

Yeah, give me a like resilience for the heat. Aha. I could add my force to resilience.

SPEAKER_05 40:25

Aha. What kind of resilience? Two purple resilience.

SPEAKER_06 40:30

Resilience being a bronze dad is fucking hilarious, by the way. I don't know what it should be, but I guess it makes sense.

SPEAKER_05 40:37

Three failure and two advantage.

SPEAKER_04 40:39

Uh one failure, one advantage.

SPEAKER_06 40:41

Two success, one advantage, one dark side, two light side. I can use those dark uh light side.

SPEAKER_04 40:47

Yeah, use the light side to get more advantage so you can carry everyone who failed. That's right. Starzan, I need uppies. I need a piggyback.

SPEAKER_01 40:54

Two advantage. Starzan can carry all the time. But it's fine.

SPEAKER_04 40:58

You don't want Uppies Ileria, there's room. I got one shoulder, you can have the other.

SPEAKER_06 41:02

Oh and then Chris, you just get the neck.

SPEAKER_04 41:05

You gotta Yeah, you know you gotta cling to Starzan's belly like a baby monkey.

SPEAKER_06 41:09

You're all just you're all just like just sway as I move my arms back and forth. It's perfect.

SPEAKER_04 41:18

This poor guy watching us approaches like, ah, homunculus.

SPEAKER_06 41:22

Just uh just uh like hug my wrists like you're a gauntlet.

SPEAKER_04 41:25

Like wrap your body around his wrist.

SPEAKER_05 41:34

I will be a decoration. I swatched the screen.

SPEAKER_04 41:38

Did Chris fail too?

SPEAKER_06 41:40

No, uh I failed with advantage. Hey, there you go.

SPEAKER_04 41:43

So everyone everyone got advantage.

SPEAKER_06 41:45

Your advantage is you asked Starzan for help.

SPEAKER_04 41:49

Starzan! So does Starzan just carry us all, all of us sweaty bitches.

SPEAKER_05 41:55

Starzan, I don't tell uh the others, but she was the most important person in our group.

SPEAKER_04 42:02

Hey, wait a second. Chris, why don't you ever tell me that I'm the most important person in the group? Uh uh.

SPEAKER_05 42:11

You're the best at finding drugs. You'll you'll you'll get your opportunity. You wait and see. Yeah.

SPEAKER_04 42:16

Chris, why don't you ever tell yourself that you're the most important person in the group? And I look in like what's uh whatever the closest reflection is to me.

SPEAKER_05 42:25

When will that happen for me?

SPEAKER_04 42:27

When will I be the most important person in the group?

SPEAKER_08 42:30

When will I be who's the most important in me?

SPEAKER_04 42:34

When will my reflection show?

SPEAKER_00 42:37

So those of you who failed, uh take two points of strength.

SPEAKER_04 42:41

That makes sense.

SPEAKER_01 42:43

Wait, what do you mean fail?

SPEAKER_04 42:44

Did you get a success?

SPEAKER_01 42:47

No, but I didn't get a failure.

SPEAKER_06 42:49

It's the same thing. So everyone who failed everyone who did not succeed, but it's my advantage.

SPEAKER_00 42:56

But you got uh advantage. So everybody who got advantage, you're now kind of prepared for the heat. Uh so if you need to make another check against this heat, you can add a blue onto that.

SPEAKER_06 43:08

Hey. Fool me once, shame on you, heat.

SPEAKER_00 43:10

Fool me twice, I'll climb on stars and be fooled again.

SPEAKER_04 43:13

So we approach, we wave.

SPEAKER_00 43:15

You can approach, and this this Jedi knight who is uh quite sweaty. Uh he says, May the force be with you, travelers.

SPEAKER_04 43:23

And also with you. And with your spirit. I don't know which one you look you do around here.

SPEAKER_06 43:28

Whatever compels you. The power of Christ. No. Wait, is that is that it whatever compels you?

SPEAKER_04 43:34

May the force be with you. Uh, whatever compels you.

unknown 43:38

Yeah.

SPEAKER_06 43:38

That's that's kind of like Bernie Sanders. Yeah, fine, whatever.

SPEAKER_01 43:42

It compels me to go inside the building.

SPEAKER_00 43:45

Yeah, is it cool inside? Uh, very slightly.

SPEAKER_02 43:48

Okay, I'll take that.

SPEAKER_00 43:49

This is an ancient stone building uh that was constructed at the very least 150 years ago during the last time. Planet was habitable, probably longer ago. It does not have central air.

SPEAKER_05 44:06

Oh. This is the worst fucking day ever. This is gonna be so slightly.

SPEAKER_01 44:10

Some parts are underground?

SPEAKER_00 44:13

Some parts are underground, like it is uh shielded from the direct light of the sun. Good enough.

SPEAKER_04 44:21

Let's go in and bask in the slightly less hot.

SPEAKER_00 44:25

You can bask in the slightly less hot. And as you do, you can see that like most of the people there are down quite a ways. There are a few Jedi who are who are chit-chatting and what have you down the hallway, but most of them are kind of gathered in this sort of central area where the lightsabers cross. And you can see that this main sort of hallway has crumbled and ruined over the centuries, but it appears to at one point have almost been like an obstacle course or a training course of some kind. Oh. Most of the Jedi are down kind of where the lightsabers meet is kind of the end of the obstacle course. And it seems to be sort of a gathering area, meditation room. Whenever, if this was a sort of Jedi training facility, specifically geared towards like physical stuff, uh, this would be where the Jedi went after they were done training, presumably.

SPEAKER_04 45:21

Okay. They got some coolers of Gatorade there for people to restore their electrolytes.

SPEAKER_00 45:26

Yeah, they some some of the Jedi have brought supplies with them, it seems like uh at least a few of the Jedi knew what the deal was with this plan with this planet and kind of came prepared. There is a. in the middle of this whole thing, there is like a portable air conditioning droid that is like kind of gonking around, spilling cool air. Uh, it doesn't stay cool for very long, so it really only is noticeably cool when it's right next to you.

SPEAKER_04 45:55

Oh, I was really hoping you were gonna say they had like a big ice bath. That would be good.

SPEAKER_00 45:59

There there may be an ice bath somewhere else for your sore muscles, and maybe in one of the underground areas. This is a if this is a physical training center.

SPEAKER_07 46:08

Yeah. Make you thirsty. Oh, I mean I've never I've never heard such uh exquisite descriptions of hotel.

SPEAKER_02 46:17

Uh Chr Chris, yeah, yeah, you okay? Are you dying? I'm I'm just thirsty. Yeah, we know, we've seen the way you party. I'm saying you're a slut, Chris.

SPEAKER_05 46:26

I do have uh immoral morals. Wait, wa but not today because I am a Jedi. Hello, Jedi to you.

SPEAKER_04 46:37

Immoral morals. Ain't no party like a mushroom party. Anyway, should some of those two should we should we mingle and see if we might be able to uh root out who the uh separatist infiltrator is if they are in fact an infiltrator?

SPEAKER_01 46:59

No.

SPEAKER_04 47:01

Okay, let's go home.

SPEAKER_01 47:03

Alright, out and leave.

SPEAKER_03 47:05

We're done, everyone. Okay, uh, I'm ready to sink.

SPEAKER_05 47:10

Let's let's let's mingle. Let's see uh who we can find here.

SPEAKER_04 47:15

Oh, could I roll seek? Because I I know that we know the code name of the person.

SPEAKER_02 47:21

Okay.

SPEAKER_04 47:22

Right? If I uh I know that Corundum, the code name person exists. Maybe I can roll get some insight into their location or direction. Hmm. Got one light side, one dark side. You know what? I'm not going to. I don't think I should be trying to uh use both and use the dark side in the middle of this big gathering of Jedi.

SPEAKER_05 47:48

Yeah, that makes sense.

SPEAKER_04 47:49

That might, I feel like that might backfire.

SPEAKER_01 47:53

Because the dark side, and everyone's like, what the fuck are you doing?

SPEAKER_04 47:57

We found the infiltrator! Incredible.

SPEAKER_00 48:02

No, I will think better of it. Okay, so uh if you just want to like look around, see how many of these Jedi maybe you know or have heard of.

SPEAKER_04 48:11

Sure, see who we recognize, yeah. See who we don't.

SPEAKER_00 48:14

So this would probably be a because most of these, like, these are Jedi, mostly masters and knights, but you've kind of been out of the loop. I'm gonna say this is probably gonna be a three purple perception.

SPEAKER_01 48:27

Three purple perception. God damn, my counting's so bad. One failure.

SPEAKER_04 48:32

Oh.

SPEAKER_05 48:32

One failure, but one threat.

SPEAKER_04 48:35

I got two success and one threat.

SPEAKER_06 48:38

Okay. I got two success, three threat, one triumph.

SPEAKER_05 48:43

Ooh, look at you go.

SPEAKER_00 48:45

Illyria, you just got a failure. You don't see anybody that you recognize. It's probably maybe it's like too hot for you to really focus that much. Maybe like there's some people who are kind of off in the sort of more shady areas that you can't really get a good look at. But nobody really pops out to you. Kala and Starzan, you can each recognize uh you both got success with threat. So uh I'm gonna say you can each recognize one person.

SPEAKER_04 49:17

Okay. Is it uh separate people or the same person?

SPEAKER_00 49:21

I'm gonna say separate, but uh, Starzan, you got more threat than Kala. It's gonna be kind of randomized. So I'm going to give you a just a general description. Um, so there are four Jedi who seem to be kind of the leaders of this thing. There's about like 20 of them in total that you can see.

SPEAKER_08 49:41

Okay.

SPEAKER_00 49:42

And there seem to be four that are the main sort of organizers or leaders, or the people that most people are talking to that seem to be dispensing wisdom. And you can each recognize one of them, Kala and Starzan. So there is a female Deveronian, a male whipped, a male human, and a female near human.

SPEAKER_04 50:07

Near human.

SPEAKER_00 50:08

Yeah, so some kind of like human with ps i you're not sure what the other part is, but human mixed with something else.

SPEAKER_04 50:15

Listen, I have an affinity for.

SPEAKER_00 50:17

Go ahead.

SPEAKER_04 50:18

No, I was gonna say I have an affinity for uh people with shit on their head. I'll go for the female Deveronian.

SPEAKER_00 50:24

Uh female Deveronians do not have shit on their heads.

SPEAKER_04 50:27

They got those dots.

SPEAKER_01 50:29

Is that why you had a child?

SPEAKER_00 50:31

What?

SPEAKER_01 50:32

Because because they get they're they're peeing poo-poo everywhere. Shit on your affinity for the wood.

SPEAKER_05 50:42

That's why she has a child.

SPEAKER_04 50:44

I was gonna be like, Amy, were you implying that my child was or born with devil horns?

SPEAKER_05 50:52

It crossed through my wood.

SPEAKER_04 50:55

He did piss everywhere. He has everywhere. He has always pissed everywhere. He is a master of pissing everywhere. My child's the best at pissing on everything. A pisserist.

SPEAKER_01 51:07

I found I found the compliment. Chris, you're the best at pissing all over the fucking chip. You're the best one in the squad for pissing.

SPEAKER_04 51:18

No one can piss no one misses the bowl like Chris does. Anyways, I'm gonna go with the female Deveronian. I know her.

SPEAKER_00 51:25

Okay.

SPEAKER_06 51:26

I am most familiar with parts unknowns. Go for them.

SPEAKER_00 51:29

The uh the near human human. The near the near human. Okay. So, Kala, you can identify one of one of these Jedi is a Jedi master named uh Cyan Geisel. She's a female Deveronian. Uh, she's got like shaved head with like bangs. You know the haircut.

SPEAKER_02 51:48

Oh yeah.

SPEAKER_00 51:50

Does she have the little temple thingies too? She probably doesn't wear those because they're too similar to the Padawan braids.

SPEAKER_02 51:56

Okay, that's fair.

SPEAKER_00 51:58

But she's a Jedi master that you've kind of heard of in passing, that she sort of like opted out of being a part of the army because she b she kind of believed that the Republic like wasn't worth saving.

SPEAKER_02 52:13

Okay.

SPEAKER_00 52:14

Just in a sense where it's like, hey, you know what? I don't think I don't She believes that the Jedi should be kind of separate from the Republic, essentially, in that it's like, hey, the Republic's corrupt, we shouldn't have anything to do with this.

SPEAKER_05 52:25

Okay. That kind of makes sense though. I mean, I'm not I'm never gonna say that, but like that kind of makes sense though.

SPEAKER_00 52:31

And Starzan, the Jedi that you recognize is a Jedi named Mira. Uh she is a also a Jedi master. She's a near human, she's got like pale, like very white skin. She's got some sort of like uh black dots just kind of around her eyes, almost like uh like a trill from Star Trek.

SPEAKER_02 52:52

Okay.

SPEAKER_00 52:53

She looks like uh she looks like a Tim Burton character, but maybe you have a little bit of disdain for her because what you've heard about her is that she is just a complete pacifist. Okay. You can see a lot of Jedi wearing a lightsaber. She doesn't even have a lightsaber.

SPEAKER_04 53:08

Oh. Yeah, what was the name of the the Deveronian Jedi?

SPEAKER_00 53:12

Uh Cyan Geisel. Cyan Geisel. And Chris.

SPEAKER_05 53:17

That's me. What did I get with my failure and threat?

SPEAKER_00 53:20

You got failure and threat. So you're looking around, you're looking around at people, and you accidentally like bump into somebody, and you turn around and you say, Oh, sorry, man. And you're looking into the eyes of Mace Windu.

SPEAKER_06 53:34

Oh! That's the sound of the police.

SPEAKER_04 53:39

Wait! With his purple lightsaber, is he corundum? Because it's a his power rape between blue and red.

SPEAKER_05 53:47

Oh my god! We fucking We did it, you guys. I'm just like, uh uh the uh hello? Uh Jean-Paul uh uh Chris um uh nice nice to meet you today. Uh uh I know this is Mace Windu, right?

SPEAKER_00 54:09

Yeah. That's that's somebody like you all once Chris bumps into him, you all immediately recognize him. He was just like coming out of another room and you just kind of got caught under unawares.

SPEAKER_04 54:19

Would Mace Windu know any of us or recognize any of us?

SPEAKER_00 54:23

Well, uh Tholm. Funny you mentioned. When you were dealing with Tholm, uh he did say like the like the Quinlan Voss situation, that the only people who knew what was going on were like Tholm Voss, Yoda, and Windu. So if Tholm talked to Windu, he may have mentioned your names. I don't know if he would know you by sight though.

SPEAKER_04 54:45

Don't say your name, Chris. Resist! Jimapel Bagel.

SPEAKER_05 54:51

Jimapel uh baguette bagel. Bag baguette uh uh Jimappel uh Maird Maard, maid, maid, maid Jimappel Tabernack.

SPEAKER_00 55:11

So you're going with uh Mayrd as your name?

unknown 55:14

Yes.

SPEAKER_04 55:15

Okay, Mr. Shit.

SPEAKER_05 55:17

What was the other one you had there? That was um uh I I I think I I think uh Begel or Bag Ed is pretty good. Begel. I also had just uh Gemmapel fuck before. But I think Mayrd makes more uh fits. He definitely fits.

SPEAKER_04 55:34

Base window was staring silently. So you're going with Mayerd.

SPEAKER_05 55:41

No, I'm going with Maird. Yeah. I'm like Cher, but Maird. It's like in a uh French speakers will under will not understand. That's all that matters.

SPEAKER_06 55:50

It's like in a telltale game you take forever to choose your dialogue.

SPEAKER_05 55:54

Mattered. Jimapel uh mattered. I was literally like Jim Appel, uh shit, but it comes out as Jimapelle Maid.

SPEAKER_00 56:03

So this is a a last-minute stammering trying to come up with a fake name. Yeah. Okay, roll me a deception.

SPEAKER_05 56:09

Ooh. You piece of shit. I hate you.

SPEAKER_00 56:12

I hate you so much. What kind of deception? That'll be a this'll be against Mace Windu's discipline. Oh no. Does does Mace speak French? Uh uh I don't think so. So I'll you can add a blue out of that. That'll be against five reds.

SPEAKER_06 56:27

Oh. Five reds, but one blue.

SPEAKER_05 56:31

You get a blue. You get a blue, Sliger, you can do it. Um, how uh how many destiny points do we have?

SPEAKER_04 56:39

I think we're actually pretty stacked at the game. We've got four.

SPEAKER_05 56:42

Okay, I'm gonna flip one.

SPEAKER_04 56:43

Do you get a yellow or downgrade a red?

SPEAKER_05 56:45

One green and one green and one yellow and a blue.

SPEAKER_04 56:49

You can do it, Sliger.

SPEAKER_05 56:51

Uh three failures uh and a threat. Oh, and a despair.

SPEAKER_04 56:56

Oh, and a despair.

SPEAKER_05 57:00

I should have taken away a red.

SPEAKER_00 57:02

Turns out he does know French. So you turn around, you like bump into Mace Windu, and uh before you can even get out married, you are barraged with like you see his face, and just like it flashes to that scene in Revenge of the Sith where he's about to kill Palpitate. You get like a s the strongest sense that you've ever gotten that you are looking into the eyes of the man who is going to attempt to kill the Chancellor of the Republic.

SPEAKER_05 57:37

Fucking work of the word. Fucking the eyes of a killer Chrysot. Somebody who fucking mur will murder somebody. Somebody innocent, somebody who didn't do anything.

SPEAKER_00 57:54

So so you're struck by this, like, in intense vision where it's like if the history of the galaxy is a windshield, the stone that makes the crack that shatters it is Mace Windu.

SPEAKER_06 58:07

You are face-to-face with John Wilkes uh Winbooth.

SPEAKER_00 58:13

John Winsbooth. John Winsbooth. And you're you're stammering to uh come up with a name, and because you still got that thread on top of that, you failed. Like, he puts a hand on your shoulder, and that feeling, that ice cold feeling of death, that like he is going to be responsible for like an immense calamity. It just chills chills your shoulder. And he says, you know, there's not a lot of falling in the Jedi Order, Chris. Uh, Thalm told me about the situation with Voss. And that you've been looking into this Darth Sidious.

SPEAKER_05 58:49

Yes, we've uh not quite uh not quite sure.

SPEAKER_00 58:53

I'd advise you to not look into that any further. It's a dead end.

SPEAKER_05 58:57

Why would you advise uh advise something like that?

SPEAKER_00 59:00

Don't get in over your head.

SPEAKER_05 59:02

You're very tall. I just want to let you know you are extremely tall, man. He's we're probably the same size, he's just imposing.

SPEAKER_04 59:11

I thought you were like looking up at him dreamily, just like, wow, you're very tall. I mean, Sam Jackson's 6'2, so goddamn, you're a very tall shit.

SPEAKER_06 59:20

Is there a Mrs. Windu?

SPEAKER_00 59:23

No, that'd be against the Jedi Code. But he just says that to you and he just he like walks away without saying anything else.

SPEAKER_05 59:30

But what what uh what's a UK uh I'm I I kinda keep my eye on where he goes, if I could. Like, I I won't super follow him, but until he gets out of my sight, I uh wanna know. I'm curious as to what he's doing where he's going.

SPEAKER_00 59:48

So he goes over and he talks to the the whipped Jedi, this big sort of like almost like a a giant or like a like a warthog kind of thing.

SPEAKER_04 59:57

That's fun. Has has m did Mace clock the rest of us or just Chris?

SPEAKER_00 1:00:02

Just Chris so far. So far.

SPEAKER_04 1:00:04

So far. Maybe the rest of us keep a low profile. Because if he's Corundum, or maybe he's a red herring and currundum's still around here somewhere else.

SPEAKER_05 1:00:12

Okay, I'm I'm I'm gonna kind of uh settle my heart after this near-death experience that I've just had.

SPEAKER_02 1:00:19

A near death worry?

SPEAKER_07 1:00:22

I mean, this motherfucker this I I got to I pr I this this motherfucker, he put his hand on my shoulder, and I felt cold. I felt death. I felt I felt it was.

SPEAKER_01 1:00:36

Oh my god, it's it's so hot on this planet. Can you touch me next?

SPEAKER_04 1:00:42

Mace Windu, I heard he got real cold hands. You just put one of those puppies on my forehead.

SPEAKER_07 1:00:47

Christ, do you need sleep?

SPEAKER_01 1:00:51

I revert to the lowest form of comedy when I'm tired.

SPEAKER_04 1:00:55

I I hear what you're saying, Chris, but like, you know, being like, I felt death. Babe, how many people have we killed like this year?

SPEAKER_05 1:01:05

No, no, no, no, no, no, no. Not like what I f uh what I felt. I I d I I don't know what's going on, but I it's the gut reaction I've been told to follow. It is that fe that feeling that he is responsible for it feels as though he is responsible for the end.

SPEAKER_04 1:01:21

Maybe he is the oh, do you think he's allied with a sapatist?

SPEAKER_05 1:01:25

I don't know. I don't know if he is do do I do I feel as though like when he touched me, when he touched me, um do I feel as though um he uh uh it w it felt more Sith-like than he felt like a Jedi? Did it feel as though um he was having like second thoughts or anything like that? Do do I feel um conflict is the word I'm thinking of.

SPEAKER_04 1:01:53

Was it the touch of an enemy or the touch of a lover?

SPEAKER_00 1:01:56

It was the t th stern, uh authoritarian. Mace Windu is not like a genial person. It you didn't really get a sense of good or evil, just like the weight of events that he would be involved with.

SPEAKER_05 1:02:12

So it's not as though I felt evil. It it is more as though I felt um There's a lot of threads of destiny all tangled up. It's more as though I felt the despair of the situation, if anything, I think. Yeah. That makes sense. Okay. I'll write that down in my brain.

SPEAKER_04 1:02:32

Make a note on the old brain palace. Sorry, what were we just talking about? Well, we were we were trying to find Jedi that we recognized. I saw the Deveronian that's like fuck the police. Um Mike saw the near human that's like only pacifism all the time, and you saw Mace Windu.

SPEAKER_05 1:02:53

I saw Mace Windu. I saw nothing.

SPEAKER_04 1:02:58

Listen, I think ours were very important also.

SPEAKER_00 1:03:01

Yeah, and there's still two of the uh the Jedi leaders that you don't really know. There's the uh the other human man and there's the whip hid that Mace is talking to. Whip hid.

SPEAKER_04 1:03:11

Do we do we wanna maybe uh because if it's like they're the leaders, and it's like if they're gonna be doing a speech or something, do we just want to like kind of lie low and keep our eyes on the rest of the Jedi to see if we spot anything and like hear what they have to say?

SPEAKER_00 1:03:24

Okay, so just kind of like observe what's going on.

SPEAKER_04 1:03:27

Yeah, find out why they've gathered.

SPEAKER_00 1:03:29

Okay.

SPEAKER_04 1:03:30

Because that was kind of why we were sent, figure out why what they're doing, root out the uh the infiltrator.

SPEAKER_00 1:03:36

So it seems like as you're kind of watching and kind of trying to get a sense of what's going on, it seems like uh there will be a discussion that happens during the next meal.

SPEAKER_02 1:03:48

Okay.

SPEAKER_00 1:03:51

They're serving gazpacho.

SPEAKER_02 1:03:53

Show down.

SPEAKER_00 1:03:53

Ooh, it's cold. Yeah, a lot of cold food.

SPEAKER_05 1:03:56

Ah, so this w this gazpacho's fucking room temperature fucking burnt my the roof of my mouth.

SPEAKER_04 1:04:02

Ugh Listen, they're doing their best with the planet they're working on.

SPEAKER_05 1:04:06

God damn it!

SPEAKER_04 1:04:07

Chris is extra offended about the gazpacho being wrong.

SPEAKER_05 1:04:11

Espe especially ever since I've had a food. I'm just in a bad mood because I had to run into Miss Windu.

SPEAKER_04 1:04:17

Next they're gonna bring out hot caviar. What the fuck is this?

SPEAKER_00 1:04:21

What is why is no one stopping him? So, uh, at the meal, all the Jedi kind of are sitting in a circle facing one another, with the five leaders sort of sitting in the middle of that circle facing each other and sort of having a uh it's it almost has the vibe of Thanksgiving dinner as a performance.

SPEAKER_04 1:04:46

So it's like a circle within a circle.

SPEAKER_00 1:04:48

Yeah, where it's like you have like the five Jedi masters in the middle debating their points as like the Thanksgiving dinner, and then you have all the Jedi around the outside that are having their meal and kind of watching it and forming kind of their own opinions, and you would sort of be in that circle.

SPEAKER_04 1:05:03

Would we be able to hear what they were saying?

SPEAKER_00 1:05:06

Yeah, they're they're doing this as like an exercise to have all the other Jedi sort of listen and get their points across.

SPEAKER_04 1:05:13

Okay, what are the what are they saying?

SPEAKER_00 1:05:15

So uh the the tone of it is basically it is you do kind of have to sort of actively listen because they are doing it sort of informally, where the exercise seems to be that they are just pretending it is a normal, unobserved meal where all of them are kind of being candid, but of course it is it is a performance for the benefit of the Jedi there for each of them to sort of say their piece.

SPEAKER_04 1:05:39

This is very bizarre, okay.

SPEAKER_00 1:05:42

And Gysel, Kala, the one that you know, she is kind of saying the same things that you know that she's been talking about that the Republic is corrupt, the Jedi need to be separate from the Republic, that the Republic isn't worth fighting for, the Confederacy isn't any better, the Jedi need to remain sort of separate from all political systems or else they become sort of entwined with it in a way that puts them at risk. Mira, the Jedi that Starzan knows, she just opposes conflict sort of on any level whatsoever. So she's like the Jedi shouldn't be fighting a war because the Jedi shouldn't be fighting.

SPEAKER_06 1:06:19

Grok, is that true?

SPEAKER_00 1:06:22

Uh you can lean over and there's a Jedi who says, I don't know.

SPEAKER_04 1:06:28

But also have you heard about the white genocide in South Africa?

SPEAKER_00 1:06:35

The other two who you don't know, the Whipped, he uh it seems like he's had some experience on the front lines, that he used to be a Jedi general, but after serving with the clones and seeing how disposably they're treated, uh, he's decided that uh the the death toll of the war, even if it's not using quote unquote like real people, is too high. The cost of life is too high, that using these clones is immoral and that it is wounding the force to continue sending these boys to their deaths and that the Jedi being in command of the army are complicit in this the the other human he outright supports the Confederacy. He says the Jedi should join the Confederacy. He says you know Palpatine's been in office for more than a decade he's just a patsy of the deep state like the High Republic ended decades ago why does the Trade Federation have Senate representation? Why, you know, why are there slaves and why are there like prison blocks and why is there just Republic kinder blocks that are just like raising kids in like these weird like sort of inhumane ways why is immigration so strictly controlled and enforced like basically he understands that the republic is a failed state and he wants to like throw in with the separatists because the separatists realized this and he thinks well you know Dooku is an idealist that Dooku is like the Jedi who saw that was wrong and he's got, you know he may not be perfect but he's at least not controlled by by the bureaucracy of the Senate.

SPEAKER_02 1:08:16

Okay.

SPEAKER_01 1:08:16

Look I love those clones while I was tube raising them. It's they're humanely being sent to war.

SPEAKER_00 1:08:22

Yeah that's a niche joke for me only Mace is trying to bring he wants all these Jedi to come back to the Republic and serve in the army. He wants them to be generals and commanders and leaders mace seems to think that like you get the vibe from him that he doesn't think that like the Jedi Order can fail. He thinks it can only be failed and that his arguments are kind of about that the Jedi are the only ones who have the moral authority to be in charge of the army like like his argument kind of is edging close to like the Jedi are not the ones suited to be in charge because the Jedi are like the people making the good decisions but by being Jedi that makes them moral people.

SPEAKER_02 1:09:12

Yeah.

SPEAKER_04 1:09:12

Oh no they're just Mr Fielder noce who has autism it turns out and like for the the Jedi who are around us are there any who are like like who who does it look like is kind of like uh getting the most agreement from the other Jedi here?

SPEAKER_00 1:09:41

Mace is at a disadvantage it seems because he's trying to like these are all Jedi who have opted out and he's come here to be like seemingly no you guys yeah opt in opt in. So he's he's having a little bit of an uphill battle. The other four are having more success uh the human who's just like outright pro-Confederacy he's not he's like second least after mace but the other three are kind of like equally spread.

SPEAKER_04 1:10:10

Because like if there is a separatist infiltrator here, if it's not Mace Windu, I could see them being among the other Jedi trying to be like yes the Confederacy I like that too like are because I I'm trying to remember if we like how many Jedi would you say are here?

SPEAKER_00 1:10:28

Uh there's about 20 in addition to you guys.

SPEAKER_04 1:10:31

About 20? Are there any specifically we're noticing that are like Confederacy I love Confederacy.

SPEAKER_00 1:10:37

There are a few that like when this human is talking uh this guy you've probably picked up his name by now so the the whip it his name is Kakruk and the human is Rad Tarn. When when Tarn is talking there there are a few people like yeah you know he he does have kind of a point like but at a certain point like the discussion does get heated and Tarn is kind of extolling the virtues of the Confederacy and like Mace seems to just be kind of biding his time. Yeah. Until he like he's he lets Tarn kind of finish his spiel and then he says you know if Dooku is uh such a noble upstanding Jedi then why did he blast Master Kenobi with Sith Lightning? Oh and he doesn't really he doesn't really have an answer to that.

SPEAKER_02 1:11:28

Yeah.

SPEAKER_00 1:11:29

Yeah he he just yeah he just kind of stammers and he's like well you know Plo Koon uses lightning and you know one time I saw Yoda blow up a tree and like he he's kind of like trying to justify it but it's clear that he's really losing losing support and he is an outsider within a group of outsiders. Interesting so like even the people who were kind of like yeah or like nah though though uh Gysel is kind of coming around to his way of thinking the Deveronian woman where it's like she's they're in agreement that the Republic is a failed state. Yeah and he's just trying to convince her now that like the Confederacy could be better. Yeah and after the Dooku thing after Mace shuts down Dooku he starts like he kind of recalibrates a little bit and he starts talking about well you know Dooku might be bad but if enough of us Jedi go over there then you know we can kind of counter that and if Dooku is if Dooku has turned the dark side then wouldn't it be more meaningful to have some Jedi who are still good on the side of the Confederacy.

SPEAKER_05 1:12:38

Yeah I mean Jedi in general should be good shouldn't they they should be they shouldn't why are you talking like that?

SPEAKER_00 1:12:46

Kakruk and Mira they're kind of more concerned about just the loss of life in general and a lot of people are just like yeah that sucks sucks brooks broken agreement with them where it's like Kakruk and Mira don't want to like most of the Jedi are like yeah like I'm not totally on the side of joining the Confederacy definitely not going back to the Republic. But we're just gonna, you know, hang out. Nobody's being too swayed by the Confederate guy or Mace though there are a few people who you can see are like you know thinking like maybe I should go back to the Republic you are hearing a couple of people say like hey you know Tarnes got a point uh the Republic's doomed so why don't we try and you know we can it's easier to get rid of Dooku than it is to get rid of the entire sort of Republic military apparatus and like the corrupt Senate.

SPEAKER_02 1:13:38

Yeah.

SPEAKER_05 1:13:42

So I'm like where where does this leave us then? I mean we should probably talk to other people.

SPEAKER_04 1:13:50

Okay, I know I failed before I wanna try to roll seek again though now that all the Jedi are gathered around this table because I'm like Mace Windu could be Corundum but I feel like that might help us to uh direct what we're doing a little bit more. I wanna try.

SPEAKER_00 1:14:09

After they've all had their kind of meals and everything they kind of disperse because they are also going to ponder things. So so the various Jedi are going off it is nighttime now they are going off to different areas of the building.

SPEAKER_04 1:14:24

I don't suppose that with the gathering of all these Jedi in one place I might be able to pretend my force rating is one higher because the force is just so forcey. Um I don't think you can pretend that well look I gotta try.

SPEAKER_00 1:14:43

But yeah um with them being more spread out uh it might give you more of like if there is a specific direction where Corrundum is.

SPEAKER_02 1:14:51

Okay. Okay.

SPEAKER_00 1:14:53

Because if it's like pointing like straight ahead that could be like four or five different Jedi.

SPEAKER_04 1:14:58

Hmm I got one light side one dark side again but everyone's kind of dispersed. Not everyone's in like the same big chamber anymore. Could I flip a destiny and take a strain to use the light side and the dark side if you want to. Uh look I just like I don't know what else to do right now. To give us some direction. Maybe you can duck down a hallway so it's not as obvious and then we can just take off real fast.

SPEAKER_00 1:15:25

Yeah so if you're looking for Corundum and you duck off into like a hallway to do this to sort of center yourself and not be uh too exposed.

SPEAKER_02 1:15:34

Yeah.

SPEAKER_00 1:15:35

You can kind of uh feel the power of this place. Like there's a reason they built a Jedi training facility here. So the the force is flowing quite strongly here. There is a that orbital period 125 years of blasting inhospitable heat countered by a brief 25 year window where like some plants begin to creep up and with that sort of balance of light and dark of death and rebirth you can sort of tap into that as well and you're looking for corundum. You don't know anything about this person other than that that is the name they were sent by the separatists. Not much to go on but you do kind of generally have a sense you can sort of like follow where your heart is taking you kind of and it starts to lead you down a set of stairs to one of the lower levels of this building. Trust the forest Luke I don't know if I should but let's do it we don't have any other leads so if you're all following Kala down you can see that like the lower levels haven't been exposed to the elements as much you get the sense that maybe this top level got cleaned out before you got here got sort of tidied up but the lower level is a lot more intact and it's almost like uh almost labyrinthy and it's hard to navigate but you can come out and look over this sort of like long maze obstacle course and you can see down in the maze there are some people talking and you get the sense from that direction is like the person you're looking for is there. And you can see there are a few Jedi that are down there and you can recognize like a couple of them like have their hoods on a couple of them are like standing with their back facing to you but you do recognize Mira, one of the Jedi masters the pacifist could I roll stealth to sneak close enough to overhear their conversation? Uh yeah this will be stealth again it's probably the vigilance of the Jedi?

SPEAKER_05 1:17:53

They're not known for being very vigilant I think we got this.

SPEAKER_02 1:17:56

Oh yeah. Alright what kind of stealth of a vigilant Jedi uh so this is gonna be a three red stealth it is very dark in there.

SPEAKER_00 1:18:09

This is like ancient stone labyrinth so there is a lot of like visual places to hide. So you can add I'll give you two blues onto this okay okay two failure how many destiny points we got you have two everybody's saying how good my rolls are okay alright you ready for this yeah one failure one advantage okay one triumph okay one despair nice nice nice okay the triumph is that you hide me behind your giant body okay let me let me hit you with this one success three advantage two despair oh this might be the worst is this the worst stealth roll in history I don't have to roll good I just have to not roll the worst my my my role um it's it's a little bit better than your guys's I got um two success two advantages and a despair okay wait did everyone but illyria get despair yeah baby everyone's talking about how good of a roller I am wait but did everyone but illyria succeed is the despair that Illyria gets taken captive no I also did not get a success oh yeah you got one failure yeah you got one advantage didn't you and Chris so you all can kind of approach uh those of you who got advantage you can all kind of approach from different angles Kala and Chris you can stay out of sight you got those advantages you've got like a good vantage point if something needs to happen if you need to do something you could even like be crawling atop like the walls of the labyrinth if you want hiding behind the equipment. Starzan and Illyria you both do get spotted Starzan but you got advantage and triumph and you can see Mira and like maybe she recognizes you and maybe she's like she says oh Starzan I noticed you earlier but I uh I didn't uh want to interrupt what what you were doing uh come we're having a very rousing discussion Starzan loves being roused just wanted to get a uh little bit uh away away from everything else it was getting very heated up there it is cooler down here you could say that again and your your friend I saw I saw her as well uh I'm sorry I don't know your name uh uh Illyria Illyria it's very nice to meet you now as I was saying and then uh a red lightsaber blade just erupts from her chest oh my god oh my god oh my god one of the hooded Jedi standing behind her uh ignites it and stabs her oh my god oh no and you can see like just under his hood it's very dark in there very shattered but you can see like yellow eyes he's like a a really big Jedi he stands like at least as tall as stars and probably taller.

SPEAKER_04 1:21:14

Oh my god someone taller than stars and what?

SPEAKER_00 1:21:17

And he's hooded you can just see his eyes and he says Master Windu sends his regards and he pulls the lightsaber out and he like leaps up on top of the labyrinth and starts to run away.

SPEAKER_04 1:21:30

Wait was that Quinlan Voss? Is he back?

SPEAKER_00 1:21:33

Uh based on the height he's way taller than Voss.

SPEAKER_04 1:21:36

Okay.

SPEAKER_00 1:21:37

Shit can I chase after him is there any ability to do so you got advantage and triumph so yeah you would be in a position where it's like as soon as this happens because you do know Mira and there is sort of a little bit of a connection like you do get a little bit of that spider sense so as soon as this happens and he takes off you can be ready and spring after him.

SPEAKER_01 1:21:59

May I heal her? Is she still a little behind she did?

SPEAKER_00 1:22:04

Is she healable? You can try she did okay. Look Diz Disney era getting stabbed in the chest ain't like Lucasfilm era getting stabbed in the chest it's way more survivable now.

SPEAKER_06 1:22:17

Season two of uh Acolyte would have had every character who died just come back. They're fine.

SPEAKER_00 1:22:23

So give me uh give me a three purple medicine to at least stabilize her. Hell yeah.

SPEAKER_01 1:22:28

How does my force heal work?

SPEAKER_00 1:22:29

Do I just uh that's two that's for healing wounds. I think she would she would be like afflicted by a critical injury.

SPEAKER_01 1:22:37

Cool.

SPEAKER_00 1:22:38

One success one triumph three threat okay yeah you can definitely uh bring her around and she will definitely survive this but you got those threat so you are gonna have to sort of stay with her for a little bit so if your friends need backup you may not be able to provide it right away.

SPEAKER_04 1:22:56

Because uh Chris and I we were able to stay in stealth and like maybe get up on like the pipes or something. Yeah like up on out of sight.

SPEAKER_00 1:23:03

Some somewhere.

SPEAKER_04 1:23:05

Could we try to also pursue this guy like or of Cal at least would maybe try to pursue this guy from stealth.

SPEAKER_00 1:23:13

Yeah so Starzan you're the first one leaping into action so give me uh you'll have to do an athletics to outrun him uh so give me a three red and two purple athletics okay one success one advantage one triumph one dark side look at you go so uh you can catch up to him uh what do you want to do once you've caught up? Because you got like advantage and triumph. Spear you want to try and spear him you want to like knock him along the top of the labyrinth wall.

SPEAKER_06 1:23:45

So you want to try and knock him down? Yeah I'm gonna knock him down with like a grapple as well.

SPEAKER_05 1:23:50

Uh it took me a second to understand that you you weren't like spearing him like like chucking a spear or something but you're being a I'm like where'd you get a where'd you get a spear from?

SPEAKER_06 1:24:01

That's offensive. He summoned one yeah Starzan uses a sword I'm gonna smack I'm gonna just yeah just grab him a a hearty hug to the ground.

SPEAKER_00 1:24:11

Okay. Uh so that would be a two red and a black brawl. Okay same thing.

SPEAKER_06 1:24:19

Yeah I'm gonna flip a destiny. So that is four yeah uh four green two yellows and then a light side or a force dice three success two advantage one dark side okay should I use it?

SPEAKER_00 1:24:32

I mean you got success and advantage because unarmed attacks have knockdown with two advantage so you could just like you could tackle him off the top of the wall. Yes I'll do that. He will he'll cushion my fall wherever we land so you're you can knock him off uh this wall is tall enough that we'll say it's short range fall damage for both of you. Hell yeah.

SPEAKER_04 1:24:51

Yeah Starzan's so beefy he'll be fine.

SPEAKER_00 1:24:54

Fine. Okay. Uh so you can tell that when you tackle him, the tackling him doesn't actually hurt him. So why don't you each do a uh athletics or coordination on the way down i'll I'll have him because you've got him so I'll uh penalize him for that. Athletics then and this is short range so it'll be uh one purple okay uh uh one purple seven success one advantage one dark side yeah you can completely mitigate the uh the wound that you take you still you still take some uh some strain for that as you hit though and this this big guy he's gonna also do his athletics uh two success and a triumph so he's able to completely mitigate that as well but you're tackling him off presumably you would try to get his cloak off I'm guessing so he can't hide no more.

SPEAKER_08 1:25:48

Yeah.

SPEAKER_00 1:25:48

So you you both tackle you both come like rolling to a stop you both get up he's got his his lightsaber out illuminating and you can see he is a massive armored Zabrack with like these giant horns and yellow and black face paint. That sounds like he presses a button on his lightsaber a second blade comes out the other end.

SPEAKER_04 1:26:12

Oh shit! I will pull out my star sword like would Chris and I have been able to pursue from our our our up high zone yeah you can see what's going on. Would I have been able to bring my gun you are pretending to be Jedi? I am wearing a big cloak though.

SPEAKER_00 1:26:29

Yeah because like not all like Mira doesn't have a lightsaber not all Jedi uh stick to lightsabers exclusively this is a gathering of kind of offbeat Jedi. It's probably like you probably would have been able to get away with carrying your rifle.

SPEAKER_04 1:26:46

Hell yeah. Could I could I try to line up a shot on this guy just to like pop his knee off? Yeah. Just to incapacitate him, you know?

SPEAKER_00 1:26:53

Okay. So it is pretty dark down there. He is illuminated a little bit by his lightsaber but uh that is gonna add a black. You're probably at least at long range.

SPEAKER_02 1:27:04

Yeah.

SPEAKER_00 1:27:05

So this is gonna be a two red a purple and a black hmm hmm what what'd you get?

SPEAKER_05 1:27:14

What'd you get?

SPEAKER_04 1:27:15

What'd you get? I got two success two threat two triumph one despair one despair a light side and a dark side I'll use the light side to get rid of one of the threats so it's just one threat.

SPEAKER_00 1:27:30

You can fire he's gonna use his strain to use his three ranks of reflect to reduce the damage by five. Oh okay which matches his soak. Son of a bitch so you fire he spins his lightsaber and there's just like a brief flash and sizzle as the bullet like just turns into molten slag and then just hits the sand.

SPEAKER_04 1:27:56

Man are you serious I got two triumphs and that? Fuck

SPEAKER_00 1:28:00

You can't use them to clean it, but you could use them for something else. This guy might be a bit of a badass.

SPEAKER_04 1:28:08

Like when he knocks away my bullet as molten slag, I I don't think that this place is up to code enough that it would have alarms, but is there something where it's like maybe he's a little careless about where he flicks it and it hits something that would like notify the rest of the Jedi that it's like shit's popping off down here?

SPEAKER_00 1:28:26

So when he deflects it, he could deflect it into the button that starts the equipment. Because this is an obstacle course. There could be a lot of shifting walls and things coming out.

SPEAKER_04 1:28:38

That's true. Would the rafters be part of the obstacle course, or would it be things just twisting and turning below up?

SPEAKER_00 1:28:43

Just like in the labyrinth itself, like all the walls would be changing.

SPEAKER_04 1:28:48

I mean, I'm certain that the labyrinth starting up might draw attention too.

SPEAKER_00 1:28:53

Yeah.

SPEAKER_04 1:28:53

So yeah, let's go with that.

SPEAKER_00 1:28:55

Okay, so you can uh that that would only be like a one-triump thing, uh, honestly. Yeah. So you can he can flick the debris from your bullet, the slag into into the button that starts up this ancient labyrinth of rocks, begin shaking off hundreds of years of dust and sand if they begin moving. Starzan all around you. Uh, do you So Calais, since this is triumph-induced, Starzan, do you want to stay in the same area as him, or do you mind being cut off from him?

SPEAKER_06 1:29:27

Uh, hmm. What are the odds I'm gonna get hurt really badly if I stay in the same place as him? Because I kinda wanna stay engaged and fight him.

SPEAKER_05 1:29:35

It's true. You are very brawny, but the he seems like uh who he will fuck you up, but I'm also wanting to see how this matchup uh ends up ends.

SPEAKER_06 1:29:44

Yes. Let them fight. Let them fight. I'm gonna stay with stay with uh our un We do not know this man. We do not know him.

SPEAKER_04 1:29:52

Do not know this man.

SPEAKER_06 1:29:54

I'm gonna stay with the unknown soldier.

SPEAKER_04 1:29:55

Yeah, we do not know about this man and his oppressive presence.

SPEAKER_06 1:29:59

Or how savage he can be.

SPEAKER_01 1:30:01

I'm with Mira. I'm just like, happy kitties, sleepy puppies, baby tuckies, sparkle ponies. And I get to pat her head.

SPEAKER_04 1:30:17

Yeah. Oh, would I be able to send anything back to Illyria? Be like, yo, we're here, tell the rest of the Jedi what's going on. Yeah, you could-Cause there were other Jedi at this meeting, right? Yeah, there is like a few of them in this uh few witnesses that are just fucking hanging out, I guess.

SPEAKER_00 1:30:33

Yeah. Because he did say Mace Windu sends his regards before killing her.

SPEAKER_05 1:30:37

Yeah.

SPEAKER_00 1:30:38

You know what that is.

SPEAKER_05 1:30:39

Which I'm I'm feel it feels as though. Nico apprehend Mace Windu. I'm I mean, it feels right, right? Like I don't wanna say that uh Mace Without the show. Somebody said that you're a bad butt.

unknown 1:30:53

Yeah.

SPEAKER_05 1:30:54

He's one bad motherfucker.

SPEAKER_04 1:30:55

He maybe Maybe if Elyria can like direct the other Jedi to uh confront Mace Windu.

SPEAKER_00 1:31:02

Yeah, they're they're already like on the way out to get help. Oh yeah.

SPEAKER_04 1:31:06

Get help! Please.

SPEAKER_06 1:31:07

Don't somebody think of the children. You know, other people are just staring at these two like jacked dudes.

SPEAKER_04 1:31:14

They're both so tall. Because would it be Chris cause Starzan went, I went, would it be Chris's turn? Yeah. Elyria did her healy bees, her her healy boppers. Her her healy-doos? Yeah, her he her healing thing. You know, what do you call it when you heal someone? Healing someone? The healy-doo. Elyria did the healy-doo. So I think it's just Chris who hasn't gone.

SPEAKER_05 1:31:37

Um, I am also how uh how far am I away from this person?

SPEAKER_00 1:31:42

Can I um uh you guys up in the rafters, you're basically on like observation catwalks where it's like instructors would be watching the uh people doing the obstacle course. So you're like sh long range away.

SPEAKER_05 1:31:58

Um I would like to get up as close as I can and then unload my variable blaster if I can't, if I'm able to.

SPEAKER_00 1:32:05

Uh so what's the range limit? Because like the the length is partially like the rafters would be medium range above if you got like right above him.

SPEAKER_05 1:32:17

So, okay, fair enough.

SPEAKER_00 1:32:18

Yeah, so you can move from long into medium, but you may not be able to hit him.

SPEAKER_05 1:32:21

Can I um if we're in rafters, is there anything big and heavy I can drop on him?

SPEAKER_00 1:32:27

Uh yeah, this place is made of a bunch of old rocks.

SPEAKER_04 1:32:32

Oh yeah. We shouldn't kill him. We should we should try to keep him alive so we can at least quest on him, but you wanna try dropping the colour.

SPEAKER_05 1:32:38

Of course, of course. I'm gonna go to the head. I'm just gonna gore him. Yeah, I'm just gonna gore him in the head a little bit.

SPEAKER_06 1:32:45

I just want to talk to him. I just want to talk to him.

SPEAKER_05 1:32:47

I just want to talk to him. Yeah.

SPEAKER_00 1:32:49

Okay. So, uh, this is gonna be then um if you want to shoot uh a piece of rock down, I'll give you a destiny point. We'll call that like range-wise, it would only be short range, and it's not moving, but uh, you want to hit get the right one. So we'll uh give you a destiny point here. We'll call it a red, and it is pretty dark in there. Uh, so we'll add two blacks for the darkness since there's nothing else to illuminate them.

SPEAKER_05 1:33:15

Your success, but a threat. Ooh.

SPEAKER_00 1:33:17

So uh you can blast free a chunk of large stone that comes crashing down on top of the combatants. So since you got that threat, Starzan and uh the assassin will both have to uh roll vigilance here.

SPEAKER_08 1:33:36

Uh-oh.

SPEAKER_00 1:33:36

Okay. Starzan, what's your vigilance like? Do a destiny here?

SPEAKER_06 1:33:41

Uh I have I have a rank in it. So one one in yellow, one year.

SPEAKER_00 1:33:44

Yeah, he only got one threat, so it'll only be a one red vigilance for both of you.

SPEAKER_05 1:33:50

Fuck, really? God damn it. I was aiming for him. Couldn't he get two? Not not Starzana, obviously, but three success.

SPEAKER_00 1:33:58

Three success. Okay, he got four success. So you can both dive out of uh the way of this rock. It comes smashing down, kicking up a big cloud of dust that obscures everything. The red lights from his lightsaber dim as he turns it off and uses the smoke and darkness as cover. Pretty clever. Or top of the next round, or.

SPEAKER_06 1:34:21

Yeah, if you guys want to uh try and do something. Uh, well, let's see. I'm gonna start activating some abilities.

SPEAKER_02 1:34:28

Oh hell yeah.

SPEAKER_06 1:34:29

Um I'm gonna drop it on him again. Mark for death, which is a sp which is a maneuver. So I'm gonna commit my other force eye to that. Ooh, what does that do? Adds adds to automatic advantage. To automatic advantages. Uh whenever I'm dealing with with uh specific target. This this fella. Um can I also activate improved hunter's quarry? Ooh. Make a hard survival check to upgrade the ability of all attacks made against a target at long range. Oh, that's only at long range.

SPEAKER_00 1:35:00

Against an opponent within long range. Oh, oh, okay. Okay, so then I'll use that one then. Yeah. So you're t you're taking strain voluntarily to do it as a maneuver. It's your second maneuver, so that would be uh four strain altogether. Yeah. Okay. And you took you took five from your fall, so you're up to nine now.

SPEAKER_06 1:35:17

Oof. Oof.

SPEAKER_00 1:35:19

And you have some strain left, but uh oof to.

SPEAKER_06 1:35:21

How would I heal that strain?

SPEAKER_00 1:35:23

Getting advantages. You can spend advantage to heal strain.

SPEAKER_06 1:35:26

Hell yeah. Okay.

SPEAKER_00 1:35:27

So uh what are you gonna do now?

SPEAKER_06 1:35:30

Well, I guess I have to find this fella, don't I?

SPEAKER_02 1:35:32

Yeah.

SPEAKER_06 1:35:33

Can I do like hmm. Try to think of the right way to do this. I feel like I feel like just randomly.

SPEAKER_04 1:35:39

If Starzan finds him, can you like hold him up over your head above the smoke and then Kalik and get another shot on his knee?

SPEAKER_06 1:35:47

Yeah, do you like uh grapple and like lift him up?

SPEAKER_04 1:35:51

Serve him up on a platter, I'm gonna shoot him.

SPEAKER_06 1:35:54

Yeah. I don't know. That's a good way to do this. Is it a perception check? Is it just trying to blindly attack him with my lightsaber? Can you sniff him out? Can I smell what he's cooking?

SPEAKER_00 1:36:05

Um, probably because you use both your maneuvers, you if you're attacking within like engaged range, you wouldn't be able to get there. Right, okay. So probably trying to find it would be. Yeah, or I'll wait.

SPEAKER_09 1:36:16

You're a move, trick or treater.

SPEAKER_04 1:36:19

Cause are you are you both obscured in the smoke?

SPEAKER_06 1:36:22

Yeah.

SPEAKER_04 1:36:23

Uh yeah, yeah.

SPEAKER_06 1:36:25

I'll hold my action, I guess, then. He probably has better smoke vision. I was born in the smoke.

SPEAKER_08 1:36:31

Great.

SPEAKER_04 1:36:32

Um, because if if Starzan is kind of waiting on his action, would I maybe be able to roll expert tracker? Cause like if I'm above the smoke and I'm specifically trying to track the target, because maybe since I have a higher vantage point, I might be able to spot him and then like make the laser sight on my gun point at him so Starzan can find him too. Yeah, you could also shoot him, I guess. I could also shoot him. But I but I'm guessing for the tracking, I would have to roll that as my action.

SPEAKER_00 1:37:05

Um, well, expert tracker, that that just removes black.

SPEAKER_04 1:37:08

I guess that's true.

SPEAKER_00 1:37:09

From from your checks to find or follow tracks.

SPEAKER_04 1:37:12

Uh wouldn't be.

SPEAKER_00 1:37:14

Well, this is uh an old uh Jedi obstacle course. The ground is covered in sand, so he would be leaving tracks.

SPEAKER_04 1:37:20

Okay.

SPEAKER_00 1:37:21

There we go.

SPEAKER_04 1:37:22

Would that be perception then to see if I could find him?

SPEAKER_06 1:37:25

Uh yeah.

SPEAKER_04 1:37:26

Okay.

SPEAKER_06 1:37:27

Can I also do that while I'm here? I can't do anything with it until it's.

SPEAKER_00 1:37:32

I think you're inside the smoke. That's my that's my. So I don't know if you'd be able to like spot his tracks, but if you want to try and find him somewhere. Okay. I'll do a perception rule. So this would be against his stealth. Okay. Uh-oh. It's gonna start as three purple, gonna give you a destiny point here.

SPEAKER_02 1:37:50

Okay.

SPEAKER_00 1:37:51

Uh so that'll be a red and two purple, and he's hiding in the smoke, turned off his lightsaber so it's dark, so that is gonna add three blacks.

SPEAKER_04 1:37:59

Okay, well, I can remove two of the blacks at least.

SPEAKER_00 1:38:02

One success, three threat.

SPEAKER_04 1:38:03

Oh. And I just want to see if there's anything else here. I I can re-roll a perception if I fuck up, but. Oh, no, two success. I pointed him and he just hacks my hand off.

SPEAKER_00 1:38:16

Found you. So, stars and you got uh success with threat. So you can see him. Unfortunately, he has used the smoke and the darkness to try and like climb away. Kala, you can see him. He's like making his way up to a wall to like a dark kind of hole in the top corner of the wall. You can see like down below that a cracked stone. It may be like he snuck in this way originally, and he's like going back out this way as well.

SPEAKER_04 1:38:47

Cause yeah, because of perception, that would have been my action, so I wouldn't be able to uh get a shot on at him. But Chris does have his variable blaster, so would I be able to like point him out to Chris?

SPEAKER_05 1:38:58

Yeah.

SPEAKER_04 1:38:59

Maybe. Come on, Chris, do us proud.

SPEAKER_05 1:39:01

I would like to shoot him with my verbable vest blaster.

SPEAKER_00 1:39:05

Okay, so from the uh catwalk where you are, you can use your maneuvers to get into short range once Calip points out where he is. You've got a laser sight on your gun?

SPEAKER_04 1:39:17

I think I do. Let me just check. I don't know if it's a specifically, it's not specifically a laser sight, but I do have a multi-optic site.

SPEAKER_00 1:39:24

Yeah, that would be like looking in different like bands of light and and things. So it wouldn't be able to there would be no external signs of of your dot. But you can you can still point him out to Chris over your comms.

SPEAKER_02 1:39:36

Yeah. Over there!

SPEAKER_00 1:39:37

So uh see him. Still got his armor on, so he still has his defense, uh, still got his adversary, so that is gonna be against a red, a purple, and a black.

SPEAKER_04 1:39:51

Because if he's climbing, he wouldn't be able to hold on to his lightsaber, correct?

SPEAKER_00 1:39:55

Yeah, he he's turned it off because he wants to use the darkness. So he wouldn't be able to reflect this. Uh so your last blast to loose the stone, what power level was that?

SPEAKER_05 1:40:04

Oh, power level. I oh power level one, sorry.

SPEAKER_00 1:40:07

So the minimum?

SPEAKER_05 1:40:08

Yeah. Conserve your energy.

SPEAKER_00 1:40:10

Yeah, so you you managed to loose a stone. So you've still got, yeah, 11 uh that you can spend maxing out at seven. So you could you could charge up a full power blast at him still.

SPEAKER_05 1:40:19

Okay, yeah, I would like to do that.

SPEAKER_00 1:40:21

Okay. So that'll be a red, a purple, and a black at full power.

SPEAKER_05 1:40:25

Oh gosh.

SPEAKER_00 1:40:26

So you can't hit him.

SPEAKER_04 1:40:27

Press! I tried!

SPEAKER_00 1:40:29

Yeah, you can even you didn't get threat or even failure on that, so I'm gonna say, like, you don't even waste the ammo. It's just like he disappears into the hole before you can even get him.

SPEAKER_04 1:40:40

Son of a bitch.

SPEAKER_00 1:40:41

He disappeared into those holes.

SPEAKER_04 1:40:43

Uh Illyria, what are you doing? Or you just still stay with that eye?

SPEAKER_00 1:40:49

Would you have uh help to get her to get her to safety?

SPEAKER_01 1:40:52

Yeah.

SPEAKER_00 1:40:53

Oh wait, she wait, hold on. She's alive? Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 1:40:55

I just left her in the way we were able to shoot.

SPEAKER_06 1:40:57

She came back from the dead?

SPEAKER_00 1:40:59

What does she say when she comes back to life?

SPEAKER_04 1:41:01

What did she say, Illyria?

SPEAKER_00 1:41:04

What did she say? You know what she says. She says, uh.

SPEAKER_01 1:41:08

Wait.

SPEAKER_00 1:41:09

That's the wrong game. Yeah. She's she says, well, that happened.

SPEAKER_04 1:41:13

Yeah, the rest of us aren't dying enough, so we have to make the NPCs do it. Yeah.

SPEAKER_00 1:41:18

Yeah. But uh, so Elyria, are you taking her back up to like the upper levels for for more medical attention, or are you keeping just staying down there with her, hoping more people come down?

SPEAKER_01 1:41:29

I'll take her up.

SPEAKER_00 1:41:30

Okay, so Elyria, you can be the first one up, uh, as these guys are sort of chasing off this assassin. And when when you get up, uh, because you did have to sort of carry Mira up and help her up, by the time you get up there, the Jedi are already like arguing and squabbling. Some of them are like running off to try and find this Jedi. Some of them like run past you to run down into the lower levels to try and intercept. But a lot of them are like, the ones that overheard what he said, like, there's a lot of like people that are sort of squabbling with Mace. And a lot of people I do not know him. Yeah.

SPEAKER_08 1:42:13

Good.

SPEAKER_00 1:42:14

I do not accusing him of things, like he came to this meeting uh trying to get them back. There's an assassin that said Mace Windu sends his regards and killed a known pacifist Jedi.

SPEAKER_05 1:42:27

What would I at that point think, like, this seems a little obvious. Why, like, that this doesn't seem correct that he would send his regards. Well, we're not there. Am I thinking a bit too am I thinking a bit too meta or like?

SPEAKER_04 1:42:42

We're still down in the in the smoky obstacle course uh trying to persuade that guy.

SPEAKER_06 1:42:48

You know him as the guy who's gonna kill the senators.

SPEAKER_04 1:42:51

Yeah, you'd probably be like the least trusting of him.

SPEAKER_00 1:42:54

Yeah, no, that's fair. We do not again, we we do not know this man. Depending on sort of how you interpret the arguments, where it's like there could be an argument where it's like Mace's wanting to bring these Jedi back so they can die in the meat grinder.

SPEAKER_05 1:43:11

Oh no. Can ca is this grounds to arrest him?

SPEAKER_00 1:43:14

Well, it you would have to out yourselves as SBI agents.

SPEAKER_05 1:43:18

I mean, that's it.

SPEAKER_00 1:43:19

Yeah, I think that would go well.

SPEAKER_01 1:43:20

Mace Windu, you're interrest. Oh, please don't kill me for five perfect five red.

SPEAKER_04 1:43:28

Well, that was just on his discipline. We don't know if Mace Windu, the known uh combatant, has that good of a lightsaber role.

SPEAKER_05 1:43:39

Do we do we get uh some truth serum? And just like, yeah, anyways.

SPEAKER_00 1:43:43

The the arguments are starting to turn physical, like the big whip hid Jedi is like the o is like kind of the only one who's sort of got mace's back. Nobody's turned on a lightsaber yet.

SPEAKER_04 1:43:55

Yet. Yet. I mean, we're still down the the three of us, we're still down in the obstacle course. Could we try to pursue this guy out the hole that he fled from?

SPEAKER_00 1:44:05

Yeah, if you wanna if you wanna pursue uh the guy through the hole, that would probably be an athletics to chase after him. Athletics or coordination, because it is a uh a tight fit. He was right to run from Starzan. So yeah, I'll chase after him.

SPEAKER_04 1:44:17

I do have enough to get a rank in coordination. What would it be?

SPEAKER_00 1:44:21

Uh to catch up to him, it would be against his athletics.

SPEAKER_04 1:44:24

Ooh.

SPEAKER_00 1:44:25

Okay. Which was uh when Starzan attempted it, that was a uh a three red and two purple.

SPEAKER_04 1:44:31

Ooh, three red and two purple?

SPEAKER_00 1:44:33

Yeah.

SPEAKER_04 1:44:34

You know what? I am gonna do a mid-game level up and get a rank in coordination.

SPEAKER_05 1:44:38

Hell yeah.

SPEAKER_04 1:44:39

It's a career skill. It's honestly kind of weird that I don't have a rank already.

SPEAKER_06 1:44:43

Are we doing good for Destiny?

SPEAKER_04 1:44:45

How are we doing for Destiny?

SPEAKER_06 1:44:46

Yeah, you've got four. Oh shit. I didn't flip one last.

SPEAKER_04 1:44:50

Uh maybe I'll flip one and downgrade one of those reds.

SPEAKER_06 1:44:53

Um six success to light side. Poo!

SPEAKER_04 1:44:57

I mean, Starzan's probably got it, but like let's all oh I shouldn't have pursued. Uh one failure and one despair.

SPEAKER_05 1:45:07

I'm not I'm not gonna pursue.

SPEAKER_00 1:45:09

Yeah, so Kala, you're trying to Starzan leaps up, Kala, you're trying to follow, you're trying to like scale. Uh I don't know if you're up in the rafter, so you probably just like try and jump across. Uh, you don't make it. Let roll your athletics or coordination to take some uh Oh no. What it what I say, medium fall damage? Uh oh.

SPEAKER_04 1:45:26

I thought it was short range. I thought it was short range when Starzan and him fell.

SPEAKER_00 1:45:30

Uh it's short range from Starzan running on the top of the walls. It's medium range from you guys up in the observation rafters.

SPEAKER_05 1:45:39

You did say medium range for us up there, yeah.

SPEAKER_06 1:45:42

Yeah, because I already ran down before this started.

SPEAKER_04 1:45:45

Coordination? Not opposed, right? Just straight. Uh, two purple. Uh two success, three advantage.

SPEAKER_00 1:45:53

So you take 15 points of wound after your soak.

SPEAKER_04 1:45:58

After okay afterwards, left. Like a one wound left.

SPEAKER_06 1:46:03

Surprisingly badass. Yeah, what's your what's your threshold? 16 then? Oh. I forgot to use some of those advantages to heal strain. Shit.

SPEAKER_04 1:46:10

Three soak, sixteen wound. I do some good tumbling, but you know, I think something still got I still pulled something.

SPEAKER_00 1:46:17

Yeah, and you got three advantage, so you can reduce the 20 strain you take as well.

SPEAKER_06 1:46:21

Oh no, that's- I guess I could use those two uh those two light side to generate um advantage, right? And then use that to heal some strain.

SPEAKER_04 1:46:30

Okay, so it would reduce my 20 strain by three to 17. I only have 12 strains.

SPEAKER_00 1:46:39

Well, and you've already taken strain from the heat and from one of your maneuvers, one of your uh using a desktop like there.

SPEAKER_05 1:46:46

And only getting five hours of sleep.

SPEAKER_04 1:46:48

Kello like falls off and does a really cool front roll, gets to her feet, and is like, oh, I made it, and then immediately faints.

SPEAKER_00 1:46:56

Yeah.

SPEAKER_04 1:46:58

I can't believe I did Well I'm out.

SPEAKER_00 1:47:02

So, Starz N, you can bound after this assassin, following him through the nooks and crannies of this temple until you pop out into the heat.

SPEAKER_05 1:47:13

So hat. Can I can I heal um Kala? Uh can I heal uh Kal set?

SPEAKER_00 1:47:19

Yeah. Uh she's exceeded her strain threshold, so this would be a three purple medicine.

SPEAKER_05 1:47:26

Um Let's see, if you can uh medicine. Um do I have any um her drug of choice on me?

SPEAKER_04 1:47:36

I I should have some I ha I ha think I have five doses in my pocket.

SPEAKER_05 1:47:41

I'm gonna grab one and I'm gonna I'm gonna make you feel alive again.

SPEAKER_06 1:47:44

Okay, you can add a blue and a black onto that.

SPEAKER_05 1:47:47

Alright. Yes. Um, what was the dice pool?

SPEAKER_00 1:47:55

Uh three purple with a blue and a black.

SPEAKER_05 1:47:57

Okay. Uh and how many destiny points?

SPEAKER_00 1:47:59

You have four.

SPEAKER_05 1:48:00

I'm gonna flip one. Okay. Uh one success, one threat, and a triumph. Ooh.

SPEAKER_00 1:48:05

So yeah, you can uh bring her back. So we'll say that triumph brings her to half her strain threshold, but that threat it's not gonna add any strain, but the benefits of the drug are used up.

SPEAKER_04 1:48:18

Uh that's fine.

SPEAKER_00 1:48:21

Yeah, so now you just have a black to agility, cunning, and intellect chance. It's fine.

SPEAKER_04 1:48:25

I'll look directly at Chris. Well that happened. Anyway, do you see that cool role I did?

SPEAKER_05 1:48:34

I I give you a pinnacle shoulder.

SPEAKER_01 1:48:36

I feel like you just got reverse narc hand.

SPEAKER_05 1:48:40

I saw it and I experienced it.

SPEAKER_04 1:48:42

I was gonna say it is kind of funny that Chris, the one who's like, What are we gonna do? The intervention is like drugs.

SPEAKER_05 1:48:50

Cala deserves a little treat. You're you're basically fucking dying there, and we kinda need you right away, so die, you white bitch.

SPEAKER_04 1:48:58

Why hey uh Chris, why do I made it sound like why do I feel like I'm in withdrawal already?

SPEAKER_05 1:49:05

No reason. Let's go! Why is there a syringe kicking out of my breastbone? Because I jabbed it three times onto the red nuts.

SPEAKER_00 1:49:14

I said, goddamn! So, Starzan, uh, so you can you can follow this mysterious assassin uh up through the tunnels, up through the vents, up through what passes for ventilation in this place, uh, up through the nooks and crannies in this ancient training facility. And you can see him running back towards his ship, which is one of the uh Punworka class ships that you uh the same kind that Grievous took.

SPEAKER_04 1:49:44

Oh man, we probably should have pegged that when we were coming in.

SPEAKER_00 1:49:46

Well, it was hidden behind some rocks.

SPEAKER_04 1:49:49

Ah, of course.

SPEAKER_00 1:49:51

The uh the hole leads pretty far away from the actual facility itself. So do you want to try and catch him before he takes off? Yeah, of course. Okay, so. Can we do an athletics? Yeah, this will be another athletics to catch up to him. So this will be a three red and two purple athletics. Three red, two purple. Okay.

SPEAKER_06 1:50:11

One of those D points.

SPEAKER_00 1:50:13

Three success, one advantage, one dark side. Ooh. You don't need to use the dark side, you can just catch up to him. Sure don't. And he he turns around and he looks at you like he's impressed with you. And he says it's not everyone who can keep up with Savage oppress.

SPEAKER_05 1:50:31

Oh can we be the crowd? Oh shit, no, you didn't. It's him!

SPEAKER_00 1:50:37

Yeah, so you have a name now.

SPEAKER_09 1:50:39

It's it's not everyone that can get on the nerves of Starzan.

SPEAKER_06 1:50:45

Oh it's fucking on Chris and just load my biceps. Like Henry Campbell.

SPEAKER_04 1:50:54

Chris and Elyri or Chris and Cala just materialize outside to be like, woo, woo, woo, woo!

SPEAKER_00 1:51:02

And he says, I've heard legends of the Starzan, but you are just a Starzan.

SPEAKER_09 1:51:11

Oh There is only one.

SPEAKER_02 1:51:16

Come on, Starzan, snap his spine over your knee.

SPEAKER_00 1:51:19

Ignite his dire sword. Hot wind blows across the sand. He ignites his lightsaber as well. So to see who's gonna go first, this would probably be cool versus cool. Can both add a black Who is cooler? Can both add a black uh because of the heat, ironically. Neither of us is very cool. He's definitely gonna.

SPEAKER_05 1:51:40

Since I'm cheering and I'm cool, can I can I give him a blue?

SPEAKER_00 1:51:43

You're not there, you're at the Jedi Temple getting uh sober. Oh shit. You're at the tavern getting drunk!

SPEAKER_04 1:51:50

You're at the tavern given Kala drugs!

SPEAKER_00 1:51:53

I got one success. Oh, he got two success.

SPEAKER_02 1:51:56

Ooh.

SPEAKER_00 1:51:57

That son of a bitch. So he's gonna cheat.

SPEAKER_06 1:52:00

Of course he is. He goes for a nutshot. He's gonna pull out a steel folding chair.

SPEAKER_00 1:52:10

But that's not how he's cheating.

SPEAKER_02 1:52:11

Okay. Okay, so um.

SPEAKER_00 1:52:13

He's gonna use the bind power on you. He got two dark side. Oh. So you are immobilized until the end of your next turn. So that means you cannot perform maneuvers. That means you cannot move. And since he's using two, his two dark side points, you also take two points of strain.

SPEAKER_05 1:52:32

Oh, even even more strain, great. I'm gonna say to uh uh Kalosa, we we need uh we need to help Starzan. I feel as though he's gonna uh going to need it.

SPEAKER_04 1:52:43

Yeah, yeah, you you you run ahead, I'm gonna I'm catching up. I g I just you you go I'll be behind ya. I'll be behind.

SPEAKER_05 1:52:51

No, you you have to be with me. Like between you and me, you're the uh without you our team couldn't happen because you're the one with the most balls.

SPEAKER_04 1:52:59

Oh wow, you did uh you did say I was the most important one, Chris. Thank you. But also I'm real winded.

SPEAKER_00 1:53:07

Like I'm gonna wind dude. Windu'd upstairs, Illyria. The altercation between the Jedi is becoming physical. It's hard to s to know like who does it first, but all of a sudden, there's like half a dozen lightsabers ignited between the people who are accusing mace of like being a separatist plant, of hiring an assassin, of falling to the dark side. There's accusations, like I don't know if you guys would know this about Mace, these guys definitely know it about Mace, that he created a lightsaber combat form that is all about edging the dark side. So obviously there's accusations that he's like fallen into that, that he's kind of been consumed by his own hubris and the infallibility of the Jedi.

SPEAKER_02 1:53:58

He's not edging anymore.

SPEAKER_00 1:54:00

But but everybody's kind of afraid to make the first strike just yet.

SPEAKER_04 1:54:05

Come on, Elyria, you got great presence.

SPEAKER_01 1:54:09

I thought, I thought this was a conclave against war. Put your weapons down, everyone. Holy shol.

SPEAKER_00 1:54:20

Give me a charm, or because you're behaving Jedi like, uh, a discipline. Discipline.

SPEAKER_01 1:54:26

Oh, I can do a discipline, baby.

SPEAKER_04 1:54:28

Five hours of sleep Illyria sounds so soothing.

SPEAKER_05 1:54:34

She's just in a loopy state. Oh, she's working, so let her be.

SPEAKER_07 1:54:38

Hey guys. Hey guys.

SPEAKER_01 1:54:41

Hey.

SPEAKER_07 1:54:42

Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 1:54:43

Great kazoo. What should I do?

SPEAKER_00 1:54:46

So this will be against four reds. Yeah, this'll this will be against the willpower, the discipline of the average Jedi.

SPEAKER_01 1:54:52

Um, one dispersage. One failure, one despair, two advantage.

SPEAKER_00 1:54:57

So nobody can really hear you over the sounds of uh the lightsabers humming, and then somebody strikes first. No, there's uh flashes of blue and green and purple as uh these Jedi start like fighting each other. Some of them trying to protect Mace, some of them trying to kill Mace. Mace himself is uh being forced to attack some of his fellow Jedi, the big whipped Jedi. He's like trying to be a bodyguard, trying to get in between, trying to get him out of there. So they're headed back to the entrance, uh, Illyria. If you want to try and get into the middle of it at all, there are a lot of lightsabers happening.

SPEAKER_01 1:55:39

Can I tuck a Mira in a safe place?

SPEAKER_00 1:55:42

It can tuck her in a safe place.

SPEAKER_01 1:55:44

Is there uh a megaphone anywhere? I already talked.

SPEAKER_00 1:55:48

They I guess they are you just trying to get everybody to calm down, or are you just trying to is there anything that you're trying to prevent or trying to make happen? Because it seems like they're all there's like Gray warned that there could be a schism. There's a schism.

SPEAKER_08 1:56:05

Mm-hmm.

SPEAKER_00 1:56:06

There's so much schism.

SPEAKER_04 1:56:07

There's schism everywhere. Unless you want them to get windu, and then you're like, get on the megaphone and you're like, he went that way.

SPEAKER_06 1:56:14

There's a whole thick, sticky coat of schism all over the place.

SPEAKER_01 1:56:20

I know I I hate it. Am I usually contact with you guys? Do I like I know there's an assassin here? Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. I want to let everyone know there's an assassin outside of Well, they already know. They already fucking know.

SPEAKER_00 1:56:34

Yeah, that's kind of what started the whole thing. Like, there are a few people that are like have broke off to try and like look for the assassin, but most of them are getting like most of them are doing uh some patented leftist squabbling. Uh it's like Twitter versus threads versus blue sky versus Mastodon down here. Ugh no.

SPEAKER_01 1:56:55

We all need to band together to get the assassin to find out the truth.

SPEAKER_00 1:57:00

Yeah. Step up on the gonk, the air conditioning gonk, try and shout over the over the din.

SPEAKER_01 1:57:07

Yeah.

SPEAKER_00 1:57:07

Uh this'll be a leadership.

SPEAKER_01 1:57:09

Hell yeah.

SPEAKER_00 1:57:12

Good stuff. This'll be a uh four red leadership. Use the zone.

SPEAKER_01 1:57:19

Let's do it. Oh fuck. One success two threats. Ooh. Oh my god. Success. Everin's always saying what a good roller.

SPEAKER_00 1:57:28

Yeah, so you're you're up on the top of this droid. You're shouting for them to stop. Uh what what what are you saying? That they've that they've gotta find the assassin, or you're trying to appeal to their their values as as Jedi, or you can't jump to conclusions.

SPEAKER_01 1:57:42

We have to find the assassin first.

SPEAKER_00 1:57:45

Okay, so you're trying to redirect their focus to the assassin. They're like, yeah, yeah, Windu's not gonna talk, so we have to find this assassin. So they like all stop kind of like fighting, and Kakruk and Mace, they just make a beeline for the exit, get in their starfighters and zoop off.

SPEAKER_04 1:58:02

Fuck! Well, look we know where Mace is going. He's gonna go back to the fucking Jedi Temple. Anyways, Chris and I are trying to go out the hole to uh catch up with Starzan and this assassin.

SPEAKER_00 1:58:13

I feel like uh they're fighting now, so that's probably enough time for you to just catch up.

SPEAKER_04 1:58:18

Okay, cool. Even with my black from my uh impact fallout.

SPEAKER_00 1:58:23

Yeah, so fighting is one way of saying it. So, Chris and Kala, as this is going on, you can crawl out of this hole in the sand, you pop your heads out like gophers, and you can see the assassin Savage Press reaching out with the force and like holding immobilizing Starzan in place and choking him.

SPEAKER_05 1:58:45

Ooh. Whoa, fuck. Uh, I would like to unload my holdout blaster on this buck.

SPEAKER_04 1:58:50

Oh, hang on, before you do that, can't how would suppress work here since he's already doing it?

SPEAKER_00 1:59:00

Yeah, suppress suppress would knock him out of it.

SPEAKER_04 1:59:02

Okay.

SPEAKER_00 1:59:03

Hell yeah.

SPEAKER_04 1:59:03

It's short range. How far away would we be?

SPEAKER_00 1:59:06

I would say at least medium.

SPEAKER_04 1:59:08

Okay, can I use a maneuver to run into short range and then I'll try to do suppress on Savage?

SPEAKER_00 1:59:12

Yeah. Okay. Suppress oppress.

SPEAKER_04 1:59:14

Suppress oppress. Ooh, too dark side. He is trying to murder my friend. I'm gonna use one of those dark sides. Knock him out of it. Did it.

SPEAKER_00 1:59:25

You can fuel yourself with the fear of uh losing your friend Starzan and dampen Savage's power. Starzan, you can feel suddenly you can move and you can breathe now.

SPEAKER_04 1:59:37

Yay! Because now maybe he'll have less defense if Chris needs to get a shot on him.

SPEAKER_06 1:59:43

Does that mean it's my turn? It is your turn.

SPEAKER_00 1:59:45

Okay. Well, you go. Because he's not expecting this. You can uh add a blue, but this is still gonna be against two reds and a black. Okay.

SPEAKER_06 1:59:57

Gonna flip a destiny. Five success, one dark side.

SPEAKER_04 2:00:00

Ooh! He did get five success. You don't really need to use the dark side.

SPEAKER_00 2:00:04

No.

SPEAKER_04 2:00:05

Just really pissed. Stars and Angie.

SPEAKER_00 2:00:09

So you can even though he does have soap, it's not enough to stand against your.

SPEAKER_06 2:00:13

Oh, wait a minute. I forgot about this. Uh I get two automatic um. I I did I my March for Death. Oh yeah. And two automatic uh crit rating. Two advantages, yeah. So what's the crit rating of my most lightsabers is two.

SPEAKER_02 2:00:30

Ooh. Well then I'll crit him too. Yeah, I get that bitch.

SPEAKER_05 2:00:33

Yeah, take him the fuck down. Get him, Starzan.

SPEAKER_00 2:00:36

75. Uh, Hamstrung loses his free maneuver until the end of the encounter.

SPEAKER_04 2:00:42

Hell yeah. Bitch can run.

SPEAKER_06 2:00:46

He was he was holding me up like, haha, now I am choking you, and then you cancel it out, and I just bring my lightsaber down and I catch that. Get a slice of elemental surprise. Yeah.

SPEAKER_00 2:00:58

Take that. So he is he is hot. He is knobly on his knees. As he should be. So Kala and Chris. That's me. So Kala, you've you've already done your thing. You uh suppressed him. Chris.

SPEAKER_05 2:01:12

Does he still have fight in him? Is he is he down or uh should I I I feel as though I'm gonna unload my uh variable blaster on him.

SPEAKER_00 2:01:20

Yeah, you've got you've got four uh four shot left.

SPEAKER_05 2:01:23

Okay, so yeah, I'm gonna I'm gonna I'm gonna do uh do it here.

SPEAKER_06 2:01:26

Okay, so that'll be a uh red, purple, and a black. I just realized this is one of my favorite old school feuds, warrior versus some. Alright, WrestleMania 7.

SPEAKER_05 2:01:36

Nice.

SPEAKER_00 2:01:42

Ooh. So your weapon does completely run out of ammo. Uh yeah, you've burned out the power cell on on this one, so you'll need to get that replaced. That's three success?

SPEAKER_05 2:01:51

Uh three success, yes.

SPEAKER_00 2:01:52

Okay, so you can blast him. Uh that doesn't that's not enough to go through his soak, though. But it is it is still like opening him up. Uh it is making him even angrier. Now, here's the thing about Savage Press.

SPEAKER_02 2:02:06

Okay.

SPEAKER_00 2:02:07

While he is critically injured, he gains plus two to his force rating and plus two damage to combat checks.

SPEAKER_04 2:02:15

Uh okay, when I did that suppress power, could I have committed it?

SPEAKER_00 2:02:20

Do you do that?

SPEAKER_04 2:02:21

So I I have duration, so I can commit one force pip to keep that going. So that at least helps. A little. Um shit. Could I before he has a chance to attack, could I try to get another shot on him? Go for the knee again.

SPEAKER_00 2:02:37

Well, he is nemesis level, so he would get two turns per round.

SPEAKER_04 2:02:41

Well, can I go before his last turn in the round?

SPEAKER_00 2:02:44

I don't think so. Cause you went at the time.

SPEAKER_04 2:02:47

Fuck, I guess I did. I guess I I suppressed him.

SPEAKER_00 2:02:50

Yeah.

SPEAKER_04 2:02:51

I suppressed a press.

SPEAKER_00 2:02:52

So, he's needing to bolster his physicality with the force. He's critically injured, so he's gonna add. He's now got force rating four.

SPEAKER_04 2:03:02

Right.

SPEAKER_00 2:03:02

But does he have six brawn? Huh?

SPEAKER_04 2:03:05

Well.

SPEAKER_00 2:03:06

Uh normally he's got five.

SPEAKER_04 2:03:08

How big are his biceps?

SPEAKER_00 2:03:10

Yeah. But he is go Is his face paint cooler than mine?

SPEAKER_06 2:03:13

He's gonna commit.

SPEAKER_00 2:03:14

How big's his hog. All four of his force.

unknown 2:03:17

Oh no.

SPEAKER_00 2:03:18

Uh his hog is the size of Samson's in 28 years later.

SPEAKER_04 2:03:22

Oh no!

SPEAKER_00 2:03:25

So he's not even going for, like, he's injured, he's angry. So he's gonna go right for brawl on this. So he's gonna commit one force to upgrade his brawn to six, and he's gonna add the the other three onto his brawl roll. So he got seven success, three advantage, one light, three dark.

SPEAKER_04 2:03:48

So is that on Starzan?

SPEAKER_00 2:03:50

Yeah, he's he's run about this. He's freaking pissed. I haven't taken any damage yet, that's a good news. So. The bad news is I'm about to. So that's 18 points of wound before your soak.

SPEAKER_02 2:04:01

Ooh, wee!

SPEAKER_00 2:04:02

Uh Surprise and unarmed attacks can also deal stun damage. Ooh. So he like grabs you, Starzad. Mm-hmm. And he says, You are a warrior. This is not the appropriate venue for your death. And he just holds you in like a like a chokehold until you pass out from strain damage, and he starts booking it, like, hobbling back towards his ship. Uh, can I try to shoot him? Yeah, you can try and shoot him. He's at long range now. That's fine. I k it's awful nice of him.

SPEAKER_04 2:04:37

Maybe next time he sees you, he'll give you a big old kiss.

SPEAKER_00 2:04:40

Yeah, now that he knows you're a Starzan, he's uh he respects you as a warrior.

SPEAKER_04 2:04:44

Yeah.

SPEAKER_06 2:04:45

Is this the beginning of a bromance? Is this your sequel? Is this is this your Star Vegas?

SPEAKER_04 2:04:52

Starvaj? Starvaj.

SPEAKER_00 2:04:54

Starveg. Yeah.

SPEAKER_04 2:04:57

Hey, you wanna find out whose hog is bigger?

SPEAKER_00 2:05:00

Okay, so Kala's got that armor. Uh, so this is got two ranks of adversary. It's at long range, so this is gonna be a black, two reds, and a purple.

SPEAKER_04 2:05:10

I'm gonna aim. I'll add a blue for aiming. Shit! I only got one dark side. Everything else cancelled.

SPEAKER_05 2:05:19

Oh no.

SPEAKER_04 2:05:20

So I could, but I don't know if that would even be.

SPEAKER_05 2:05:23

I don't think you're gonna I I don't think you're gonna pass through his um.

SPEAKER_04 2:05:28

Well my rifle does damage nine. Yeah. And he doesn't have his lightsaber out, so he can't reflect it.

SPEAKER_00 2:05:34

Yeah, I'll tell you he has he does have nine soak, so you would, especially with that Pierce, you would get him.

SPEAKER_02 2:05:41

Yeah.

SPEAKER_00 2:05:42

This is continue with the dark side point. He does have, I'll tell you, ten points of wound left before he's like down.

SPEAKER_04 2:05:50

I mean, if I can at least just like slow him down, because the other, like, the Jedi are on their way to try to help apprehend him. I'm gonna- Okay, what does what does accurate do? How does accurate affect this?

SPEAKER_00 2:06:05

Accurate gives you a blue on your rolls.

SPEAKER_04 2:06:08

Oh! I didn't roll that. Hang on, I gotta roll one blue. Wait, no, because it has accurate too. I didn't roll my two blues. I get two blues. Okay, I'm gonna roll two blues and see what we get. One advantage? Fuck. You know what? I'm gonna flip that one dark side. I'm gonna get one success. I have pierced three. I can maybe slow him down a little bit. I got an advantage. Maybe that'll slow him down long enough for the Jedi to catch up.

SPEAKER_00 2:06:33

Okay, so. You can you can shoot him. He is heavily armored. Uh, he's definitely weakening with that advantage. He does like fall to his knees again. And he does like have to get up. And you got that advantage. So you hear cresting over the hill. Illyria and about half a dozen other Jedi.

SPEAKER_04 2:06:59

Hell yeah!

SPEAKER_00 2:07:00

Lightsabers out coming to get the assassin.

SPEAKER_04 2:07:04

Look to the east when the sun rises! Here they come!

SPEAKER_06 2:07:10

On your left.

SPEAKER_04 2:07:13

Thank God! Maybe we'll actually get him!

SPEAKER_05 2:07:16

It was an exquisite catch by the good guys.

SPEAKER_04 2:07:19

Ugh. And I only had to use several dark side to get here.

SPEAKER_00 2:07:24

Oh, I'm sure you'll be fine.

SPEAKER_04 2:07:26

I'll be fine.

SPEAKER_00 2:07:28

So he's going to try and do an athletics to get back to his ship. Gonna give him a destiny point because he's trying real hard. But he is extremely debilitated. Yes, he is. So he is injured, so that's gonna add his uh force on. This is gonna be an interesting roll because he's gonna be basically, because he is so injured, I'm gonna have him roll basically against his own skill.

SPEAKER_02 2:07:52

Okay.

SPEAKER_00 2:07:54

He's got like 25 wounds, you've done 19 to him so far. So I'm gonna round that up to 20. I'm gonna give him four blacks on top of that.

SPEAKER_04 2:08:01

Ooh, four blacks.

SPEAKER_00 2:08:04

So he got six failures, two advantages, and only three dark sides.

SPEAKER_04 2:08:12

Oh hell yeah, he fails.

SPEAKER_00 2:08:16

So he can reduce that to three failures and two advantages. So he's like trying to get back, he's stumbling, he gets far enough to like put his hand on the entrance panel to the ship and press something before the Jedi catch up and the ship closes and takes off without him. So whatever secrets are aboard his ship, he sends away, but he's surrounded by Illyria and half a dozen other Jedi. He's uh freed of his lightsaber.

SPEAKER_02 2:08:52

Hell yeah.

SPEAKER_06 2:08:54

Can I try and catch the ship?

SPEAKER_00 2:08:56

You are unconscious, he knocked you out.

SPEAKER_04 2:08:58

Oh in your dreams, you can be chasing ships like a dog after cars.

SPEAKER_00 2:09:02

Yeah, you're a dog chasing a car in his dream. Little pause. So the Jedi, uh, with your help have captured a dark warrior named Savage Oppressed. Do you out yourselves as agents of the FBI, do you claim him as your own quarry? Or do you let the Jedi take him? You're under arrest.

SPEAKER_04 2:09:30

What do you guys think?

SPEAKER_05 2:09:35

I kinda wanna I kinda wanna be like, hey, he's ours. Don't be fucking don't be fucking stupid, okay?

SPEAKER_06 2:09:43

What if what about option three? We lie and say we're some other kind of organization.

SPEAKER_04 2:09:47

Based on we take him back to our apartment, he's our new best friend. We just tie him to a chair until he likes us.

SPEAKER_00 2:09:55

So here's a question, especially for Chris, based on what you know about Mace Windu, based on what like the vibes you've been getting, what he's been saying, do you think that if the Jedi take him, there's a chance that Savage will kill himself in prison?

SPEAKER_04 2:10:08

Oh, like they'll do a cover-up.

SPEAKER_06 2:10:11

Oh no. We'll never find out about Savage Island.

SPEAKER_04 2:10:15

Oh no!

SPEAKER_06 2:10:17

Where's the guest list, Savage?

SPEAKER_04 2:10:19

Release the Savage list!

SPEAKER_05 2:10:21

I feel as though I feel as though they would do anything. They would probably do anything that they could in order to um remove or remove I I I feel like them like killing themselves in prison might be something. I that feels accurate. I feel that feels as though that might just be something that they do. I I kinda I kinda wanna I kinda wanna show her hand and I kinda wanna be like, hey, this guy is ours. I kinda wanna uh fle flex that muscle a little bit.

SPEAKER_04 2:10:51

I I will say because like Starzan's knocked out. Kala has one wound, only half her strain, and is suffering from like withdrawal after her impact.

SPEAKER_00 2:11:03

Yeah, Chris and Illyria are fine.

SPEAKER_04 2:11:05

Yeah, you two are probably the only ones who could make this call, and it does make sense if that's the call that Chris would want to make. Based on what you've been getting brain blasted with.

SPEAKER_06 2:11:17

Based on the arguments.

SPEAKER_04 2:11:18

But Illyria. What do you think? What do you think of all this bullshit?

SPEAKER_06 2:11:22

This bullshit.

SPEAKER_05 2:11:23

What do you think of it?

SPEAKER_02 2:11:25

What do you think Illyria?

SPEAKER_01 2:11:28

We should take him maybe.

SPEAKER_02 2:11:30

Take him to the SBI.

SPEAKER_01 2:11:33

Especially because he said that thing about we need somebody to somebody impartial?

SPEAKER_00 2:11:38

Yeah.

SPEAKER_04 2:11:38

Yeah. The Jedi can't be impartial here. Of course they're gonna want to protect Mace Windu. Probably.

SPEAKER_01 2:11:45

Yeah.

SPEAKER_05 2:11:45

Probably. Show her hand, I'm gonna Excuse me, this man Uh This uh individual is coming with uh with us. We are the uh we are the SBI, and he is in our Stitch Yum.

SPEAKER_00 2:12:01

So the crowd murmurs, like SBI, there's Jedi working for the SBI. They don't question that you're Jedi. The fact that you took him down like this means that like you're probably Jedi. They don't uh question that. They don't call you dropouts or anything. They seem to respect you.

SPEAKER_06 2:12:18

These drops out the drop in on him.

SPEAKER_02 2:12:22

Hell yeah.

SPEAKER_00 2:12:23

So you can call for presumably some assistance. The other Jedi, they scatter once they, you know, once the Republic ships are inbound, and Savage is gonna be detained.

SPEAKER_04 2:12:36

It's a fucking cops.

SPEAKER_00 2:12:37

And as Savage is loaded up when the Republic arrives, lots of clones, heavy special forces, Jed is there to help. Gray is there to oversee things. And Kray seems really impressed by you guys.

SPEAKER_04 2:12:53

Hell yeah.

SPEAKER_00 2:12:54

Yeah. Hey, wait, can somebody wake me up?

SPEAKER_04 2:12:56

Oh yeah, Elyria, maybe.

SPEAKER_01 2:13:01

I will give you healing touch.

SPEAKER_00 2:13:04

Yay. Back up. Well, that happened.

SPEAKER_04 2:13:11

Hell yeah. Man, remember the beginning of this episode where it's like, we never get knocked out, so we have to make NPCs say it, and then it's like, well, gonna fix that problem.

SPEAKER_00 2:13:20

Savage oppress uh is gonna be taken into uh Republic custody. Another bead has moved off the track. What does this mean? Will Darth Maul ever be found? Will Savage break out and return to his canonical ways? I guess maybe you'll find out next time on Star Wars Empire Wreckers.
