S14E11 - Fly Like An Eagle

Transcript

SPEAKER_06 0:00

Hey everyone. Thanks for listening to Star Wars Empire Records, the Star Wars actual play podcast that's here to tell you it hasn't happened yet. Who's ready for it to happen today?

SPEAKER_02 0:12

Callus that's ready for it to happen today. You know what.

SPEAKER_11 0:16

Hello, uh Gemma Pelcresant, and uh the thing that's gonna happen will blow you away.

SPEAKER_00 0:24

Oh Starzan does not know what it is. Starzan used to be with it, but then they changed what it was. Now what Starzan is with isn't it anymore. And what it seems weird and scary to Starzan, it will happen to you. What is it?

SPEAKER_04 0:45

And Illyria is ready for it, because a Jedi can always be ready for the things happening in the future. Does she have words foresight? No, but she is still ready.

SPEAKER_11 0:56

I have words foresight.

SPEAKER_02 0:58

No, he's so ready.

SPEAKER_04 0:59

Then you should be ready.

SPEAKER_06 1:00

And if you're ready for a step-by-step instruction manual on how to make it happen, veiled through fantasy and science fiction, why not come along with us to a long time ago in a galaxy far, far away in Star Wars? The light is growing! After turning their back on the Imperial Knights, the Empire Wreckers rescued a small conclave of Jedi from the planet Krant and reverted their former SBI supervisor into their rebellion. Investigating ancient ruins on the planet Alishan, the group uncovered a Jedi experiment to create a virgence in the force and faced off against their own shadows, burning out their ability to use the dark side. With their base established, the former knights now turn their sights towards their incarcerated allies and make preparations to mount a rescue attempt. So you decided last time that you were going to uh try and find the secret ISB facility where uh presumably Zin has been taken, where Severance Tan is located, maybe some of your other acquaintances and uh friends who you may not have had a chance to talk to. You guys are pretty tight with Argo Thrustmaster, haven't heard from him in a while.

SPEAKER_02 2:12

Oh yeah, Argo! I mean, I was gonna be like, oh come on, like he's not really our friend, but it's like, I guess he's probably more our friend than the Imperial Knights.

SPEAKER_10 2:24

Yeah, they aren't our friends no more.

SPEAKER_06 2:25

However, uh, in order to get to the ISB headquarters, where you will be able to find D16, the droid that contains all the information you will need to be able to get to that secret ISB facility. Another one of your allies who has been imprisoned. Uh, before you can get to him, you will need to get to Coruscant, and before you can get to Coruscant, you'll probably need a ship that isn't known to the ISB.

SPEAKER_02 2:53

Oh yeah. Are we gonna have to go to Quesh where we were gonna go to sell our ship before and be like, hey, so we're finally here.

SPEAKER_06 3:00

Not not Quesh, but uh your friends, Gray and the crew of the Yonder, have cross-referenced their knowledge of the underworld and directed you to the planet Nalash 3.

SPEAKER_02 3:15

Nalash 3? Do any of us know Nalash 3?

SPEAKER_06 3:18

Uh, specifically a uh an impound station, a space station impound lot that is run by the corrupt local authorities.

SPEAKER_02 3:28

Oh, okay. That's fine.

SPEAKER_06 3:31

Uh, according to Gray and the crew of the Yonder, uh, although this impound station is run by corrupt local authorities, they were the sector was a former member of the Confederacy, so they have no love of the Empire. And now the station is used by smugglers, bandits, anyone else who wants an off-the-books ship. That sounds like something we need. So you can take the custard gannet, pull it into one of the ship's uh many, many docking bays, and you can see the mechanics and the scrappers looking lasciviously at your vessel's hull as if to say, can we strip that?

SPEAKER_11 4:13

Why do you make it sound like you're violating the ship?

SPEAKER_02 4:16

I mean, okay, to be fair, if anyone's violating the ship, it's pro it probably was us when we cut a hole in the hull to get to the safe full of sex asses.

SPEAKER_11 4:26

I mean.

SPEAKER_02 4:27

The ship has been through it.

SPEAKER_06 4:31

So uh since since you're uh gonna go to Coruscent into the ISB headquarters, are you bringing Grey along with you, or are you telling him to stay put?

SPEAKER_02 4:40

I mean, we probably should bring Grey, because like if anything, he'll know that. Yeah, he'll know the kind of defenses that we're uh gonna be up against. I I was kind of thinking about Grey though, because I remember last time I mentioned that it's like, oh, there's this thing that Ranala was on a mission with us for, and Grey was like, real, uh, had nothing to say, and then I remembered, like, right, he was the one who introduced us to Ranala, and we got the impression that he might have been someone who used to write Love You on his eyelids when he was sitting in her classes. And I'm like, is this gonna be an issue? Is this gonna be an issue, Gray?

SPEAKER_11 5:17

Delightful.

SPEAKER_06 5:17

Could I have brought this up to him? Is this gonna be an issue? Well, you can you can talk to him on the way as you're as you're disembarking. He's like, you're bringing this up now? Okay.

SPEAKER_02 5:27

Uh well uh okay, well let's try well t let's roll back time a little bit. Let's talk about it on the trip. Not quite scroll.

SPEAKER_06 5:32

It's cool. Look, I was just gonna go look into that. You said you had something to talk to me about. I thought you were reminding me about that uh you know, the the lady and and her uh boy toy that I was supposed to look into. Because I have some uh potentially some contacts on the station I can talk to, but if this is Oh, the Mandalorian lady.

SPEAKER_02 5:48

I mean that's probably more important. No, no, this is more just like a uh a general like, hey, is this gonna be a problem thing? Cause uh, you know, we're dealing with the Imperial Knights, and that includes Ranella, and we, you know, you introduced us to Renella, kind of felt like you guys might have had a uh previous relationship of sorts. Um, that gonna be an issue.

SPEAKER_06 6:06

Look, in my line of work, it's best not to get attached. And yours, I guess, too.

SPEAKER_11 6:10

I mean I don't know what you're talking about. Well the whole the whole thing attached to people love.

SPEAKER_06 6:17

He's trying to be coy a little bit, you know, the whole J-E-D-I thing.

SPEAKER_02 6:22

Okay, but yeah, like you aren't a uh Yeah, we're I feel like that's maybe a big word, like a big meaningful word that we're not quite applying to ourselves just yet. But like, yeah, but you aren't, and you can, and it kind of gave the impression that maybe you had, so that's why it's like Oh no, it's it's fine.

SPEAKER_06 6:41

Uh I don't have any time in my life right now for cougar hunting. I haven't for some time. There will you have no problems for me. Looking in shock. Cougar hunting.

SPEAKER_02 6:51

Okay, so let's say theoretically, uh we we deal with the Imperial Knights, and um we gotta we gotta skew a Ranala and kill her like we did to Master Yoda. Is that gonna be an issue?

SPEAKER_06 7:02

Well, I mean, if she is uh fully in bed with the uh satanic pedophile cult that rules the galaxy, then you know, she brought it upon herself.

SPEAKER_02 7:11

I trust him, but also I would like to roll perception on him. Okay. Just in case. And if he was secretly in favor of the evil satanic pedophile cult, he probably would be able to hide it.

SPEAKER_11 7:29

What kind of perception?

SPEAKER_06 7:30

So this would probably be against his. Do you wanna see if he's lying to you?

SPEAKER_02 7:34

Yeah, or or at least like if he's holding something bad.

SPEAKER_06 7:37

Two reds and a purple.

SPEAKER_02 7:38

Two reds and a purple? We'll see. I mean, I'd be bummed out if I uh if I got a despair on this. Interesting. I got one failure, three advantage, and a triumph.

SPEAKER_06 7:49

So you w you can't tell if he's like a spy or if he's still got any attachments to uh his former college professor. Okay. But you do get the sense that he's like he's talking about no attachments, he says he's not in like a cougar hunting mode. Like, he's he seems to be behaving very Jedi-like for an extremely secular guy. So it's like maybe he's just trying to, you know, maybe he's been reading some of the literature at your new base, and he's like, maybe I'll try some of that.

SPEAKER_02 8:22

Oh, okay.

SPEAKER_06 8:23

Maybe I'll uh, you know, I don't know. He doesn't go in for organized religion, but uh perhaps he is trying to live a cleaner life. Maybe living upstairs from a powerful virgin in the Ashla is doing something to him. Maybe it's just something he's coming around to. Okay.

SPEAKER_04 8:41

He said it was because he was living upstairs from a powerful virgin.

SPEAKER_02 8:48

He's above your room, Illyriana!

SPEAKER_04 8:50

Yeah.

SPEAKER_02 8:52

Oh snap.

SPEAKER_04 8:54

That was my joke.

SPEAKER_02 8:56

Yeah. You are the you are the most powerful virgin on the crew. Unless Starzan. Well, we don't know. Well, no, we I feel like Starzan probably isn't at this point. Not a seed spiller. Were you always even retention? Were you always obtaining from seat spilling those Starzan?

SPEAKER_11 9:15

He's he's had sex, he's just never released. Yeah.

SPEAKER_02 9:20

He's too powerful.

unknown 9:23

Okay.

SPEAKER_02 9:28

Look, baby, I can soak for five minutes and then I gotta leave.

SPEAKER_06 9:33

I call this sous vide.

SPEAKER_02 9:37

Okay. I I'm I'm fine with that. There is part of me that's like uh or sorry, I'm not saying this in character voice. I shouldn't be saying that out loud in character voice. Just like, yeah, no, that I'll I'll I'll I'll trust Grey then. That's cool if he's getting interested in literature. I feel like there might be a bit of Kalo that's like a little disappointed that it's not like following up on him maybe going to touch her hand when they were meeting because Kal is so alone. She's so sad, but like that is I'm fine with that answer. I'm f I have no problem with that.

SPEAKER_06 10:11

Well, I mean, the Jedi rules say no attachments, they don't say you can't bone on down. That's right.

SPEAKER_04 10:17

Yeah, great. Great, were you enjoying those books that I lent you?

SPEAKER_06 10:22

Very insightful. I I haven't actually had a chance to uh read a lot of actual uh Jedi manuscripts or or anything. I can see how the indoctrination took hold. They deprive you of a lot of uh very important human things, and that makes you uh bond to the institution. It's uh classic brainwashing.

SPEAKER_02 10:42

It's true. Was Elyria like turning up at Gray's door at like right at dinner time, wearing her white button down and tie, clutching a man a book to her chest. Have you heard the good word? No.

SPEAKER_04 10:56

The Mormon in the temple. I thought he would enjoy some uh meditation manuscripts.

SPEAKER_02 11:01

Ugh god, I I I need to be doing some meditation too. I only got one dose of impact eat left. I'll do it after we get our ship, though.

SPEAKER_06 11:08

Illyria showing up with the Book of Mormon Callus showing up with the book of Mammon. Okay, let's continue on to get this ship. And he says, look, okay, I'm I'm gonna go look into that other thing uh that you mentioned, but uh remember, Roar War said that he knows a guy here who's working on a ship that might have what we need. So go look for a mechanic by the name of Bammy.

SPEAKER_02 11:34

Bammy?

SPEAKER_06 11:35

Yeah.

SPEAKER_02 11:36

Okay, uh, any idea of what he looks like? Or this mechanic looks like? I don't know if it's he.

SPEAKER_06 11:40

Yeah, Roar War said he's a human.

SPEAKER_02 11:42

A human name Bammy.

SPEAKER_06 11:43

Yeah, Bammy decree.

SPEAKER_11 11:45

Is he uh uh like is he a a big human or is he a small human? Is he uh uh a boweled human? Is he a hairy human? Hairy human sounds like a name.

SPEAKER_06 11:56

This is Roar War we're talking about. I think a lot of us look the same to him. Yeah.

SPEAKER_11 12:00

That's fascinating. Name color human? I d I don't know.

SPEAKER_06 12:05

What is the skin tone of Pleffin else? Said he had uh uh hair the color of oak wood. That helps.

SPEAKER_04 12:12

Aww. That's so poetic. Aww.

SPEAKER_11 12:15

Is he in love with him? Okay, so so uh uh oakwood. That's uh that's uh red is that's brown brownish, reddish hair, kind of?

SPEAKER_02 12:25

Yes, he it's default human hair color.

SPEAKER_11 12:28

Default human hair color.

SPEAKER_02 12:30

I guess realistically, default human hair color is probably closer to black, but like, you know, okay, brown hair. He looks like a man, a man with brown hair that's gonna narrow it down. I mean, maybe on this station it will. But let's go look for this oak wood-haired man.

SPEAKER_06 12:45

So you can uh go through the station. This is a uh smuggler's hideout. There are a lot of in It's a smuggler's hideout in a former Confederate uh sector. So there are a lot of uh non-humans. Humans are actually pretty rare on this station.

SPEAKER_02 13:00

Okay.

SPEAKER_11 13:01

Okay, that's helpful.

SPEAKER_06 13:02

So maybe that actually is a good descriptor. Yeah, a lot of a lot of Rhodians and Duros and Ethorians and a couple of Trand Oceans skulking around. And you can eventually see a uh sweaty looking, fairly robust looking human. He looks like he could pick up a barrel with both hands and he enjoys a good sandwich. Does indeed have donkey gone? He does indeed yeah, he's got this little like ice cream curl of oak-colored own on the top of his head. Naked. It's not a good one. Except for a necktie.

SPEAKER_11 13:37

It's a donkey. It's it's it's a fucking gorilla.

SPEAKER_06 13:41

He does kind of resemble like a shaved gorilla with a hairdo. Oh man. You can tell he is like really sweaty, greasy, covered, just covered in grease stains, as if it's like he's been working in like the hot vents and he had to strip down just to try and retain some semblance of coolness.

SPEAKER_11 14:00

Um he's just wearing his overalls and his uh some sort of grease monkey.

SPEAKER_06 14:05

No overalls, just the necktie. Just the necktie.

SPEAKER_04 14:10

Look, they don't have a lot of humans around here, huh? Should anyone know that?

SPEAKER_11 14:13

We're doing the rare version. We're doing the rare version of Donkey Kong, not this Nintendo 2026 version. Or 2025.

SPEAKER_02 14:22

Okay, anyways, can we approach them and just be like, hey, uh, you bammy?

SPEAKER_05 14:27

Oh, hello, hey, yeah, how can I help you? Sorry about the uh appearance, it's just uh kind of sweaty up in there, doing a lot of hard work.

SPEAKER_02 14:37

Yeah, uh hey, uh, we're friends with Roar War. He uh said you might have something for us.

SPEAKER_05 14:42

Oh yeah, you know Roar War, yeah.

SPEAKER_11 14:45

Oh, I know what you're after. What what what what does what are we after? Second chance. Aren't we all waiting for a second chance? Monomie.

SPEAKER_02 14:54

I I uh Is that the name of the ship? What do you mean by the ship?

SPEAKER_06 14:57

Oh sorry, yeah. Um and he and he leads you over to this kind of ramshackle looking Oh I thought there's like a rubber ship metaphorical that various uh various mechanics are working on, and he's got this one. It's uh it's a YT series freighter, looks like a YT 1300, and he says, this thing, this baby here, got into a got into a crash uh over by Narshada, I think. Back uh it was called the Stellar Envoy, that's what they called it when it came to me. But I fixed her up, threw in some uh 1300p parts. Uh it's a pretty modular setup, uh got it back up and running again, and I call it the second chance.

SPEAKER_05 15:35

But uh Roarwar says that you're here to pick it up, uh you can call it whatever you want. Excuse the paint job as well. You can uh we can get that fixed up for you once we uh get everything processed.

SPEAKER_11 15:48

Second chance uh just sounds like the theme of this season. And I I f I like we can name it something else, but the second chance is kind of a good name.

SPEAKER_06 16:00

And you can see this ship. It's way too obvious. I love it. And true, true to what he said, it does look like it was in a accident. It does look like it got like almost half of it ripped clean off by a collision. Uh, because like half of half of the ship is like this kind of dirty, stained, uh, there's like a lot of scratches and carbon scoring from the impact, but it used to have this kind of like white paint job with these thick, dark blue, almost like cyan stripes that you guys were in the war, you may know that denotes it as a sort of diplomatic freight transport. Okay. And then bolted to that is a lot of uh just kind of bare grey unpainted metal with a few panels of like red that have been kind of patched in here and there and a little bit of a little bit of a red paint job in certain places. It definitely looks like he put two different ships together to make one. Uh it's still all the same model, it's not like a mishmash, it's just two different YT 1300s.

SPEAKER_02 17:10

Okay, what if because this is a ship that was in a really bad crash and still managed to survive enough to be rebuilt and used again? What if it is the Lucky Ducky? The Lucky Ducky! And we paint it yellow. Like a low leopard duck.

SPEAKER_11 17:30

I'm gonna wipe my ass off.

SPEAKER_04 17:36

Oh, you start to get around undetected.

SPEAKER_06 17:38

Yeah, these YTs, uh, nobody notices them. They can get in anywhere. There's millions of these things flying around. They've been around for decades.

SPEAKER_02 17:45

Yeah, so maybe no yellow paint job.

SPEAKER_04 17:48

May I suggest the clandestine crow?

SPEAKER_11 17:51

Oh. Clandestine crow. Uh, what does uh clandestine mean?

SPEAKER_04 17:57

It doesn't matter what this ship is, we just need the name, right?

SPEAKER_10 18:01

How about the feisty phoenix? Ooh. Because it is also about, you know, redemption and second chances, rebirth.

SPEAKER_06 18:12

Oh, that is good. But feisty. You're saying like the feisty phoenix and the clandestine crow, and all I can think of is this uh when they were doing for solo, they did like a lot of concept art for like what would it look like as a car in one of them? Was this like black and gold trans am paint job?

SPEAKER_03 18:31

Oh hell yeah.

SPEAKER_10 18:34

I feel like Journey is just pouring out of every orifice of that shit.

SPEAKER_02 18:38

Always 100%.

SPEAKER_11 18:40

I I I think Clandestine Crow.

SPEAKER_02 18:44

Yeah!

SPEAKER_11 18:45

Because we're fucking emo now.

SPEAKER_02 18:47

Look, we're meant to crow Covert Crow. The covert crow, actually. I feel like that's a little bit too military.

SPEAKER_11 18:55

Isn't that a little bit too military?

SPEAKER_04 18:57

Yeah.

SPEAKER_11 18:58

Clandestine has an air of mystery to to it, whereas covert uh covert makes it sound like a military operation. Yeah. Which it technically is, but I don't want to feel that.

SPEAKER_04 19:10

Who is military?

SPEAKER_02 19:12

I will say, any of these names, any of these iterations on Crow, if we are picked up by scanners, it's like, what the fuck are these guys up to? That this is the name of our ship.

SPEAKER_04 19:23

We're the sneaky thieves, don't worry about us. We don't have to put that in our logs, we can just call it the second mobile.

SPEAKER_10 19:28

We can just call it the clandestine crow. This is the susmobile, welcome. The sussy wisdom. Okay, the suskent. Uh the suffering succotash? Suffering succotash. Clandestine crow. It's okay. Most of the Empire doesn't know what clandestine means.

SPEAKER_02 19:50

Yeah, they're all dumb.

SPEAKER_10 19:52

If we're stopped, we'll say it's the cranky crow.

SPEAKER_02 19:54

If we're stopped, we'll be like, this is the lucky ducky. Cranky crow.

SPEAKER_05 19:58

That was my grandpa's name.

SPEAKER_02 20:03

Clandestine crow, yeah, we're going with that. That's the name.

SPEAKER_11 20:07

I I I like Clandestine Crow because I'm pretty I'm pretentious hipster.

SPEAKER_05 20:12

Okay, so uh before we get this thing painted up real good, uh there are any other uh surreptitious add-ons that I should make.

SPEAKER_12 20:21

Oh yeah.

SPEAKER_05 20:22

It's gonna cost you. But uh Roar War says you're good for it.

SPEAKER_12 20:25

Oh yeah, we're good for it.

SPEAKER_11 20:27

Do we still have our money? Our f uh our funds haven't been frozen?

SPEAKER_06 20:30

You put that in a separate account. Right, okay, yeah, that is what it was.

SPEAKER_02 20:35

Because you said it's a YT 1300?

SPEAKER_06 20:37

Yeah, so you got six hard points to work with.

SPEAKER_02 20:40

Okay. And is he what is he charging us for the ship itself?

SPEAKER_06 20:44

100 grand. How much money do we got? Let's see.

SPEAKER_02 20:48

I mean, we have a lot of money.

SPEAKER_06 20:51

And that's the friend price, too. And he says, look, while you're going through the manual, uh, this thing, because it is an older ship that's had a few different owners, got a military grade rectenna.

SPEAKER_05 21:01

Uh, we've already got uh the standard laser cannons when it came to me were already replaced by a couple of quad lasers. Uh got a ground buzzer near the uh rear uh entrance ramp. So it does have some modifications in it already. Oh even some uh you didn't hear it from me, but if you check under some of the floorboards, it's uh got some extra room.

SPEAKER_12 21:23

Oh nice.

SPEAKER_05 21:24

Uh we can do the smuggling.

SPEAKER_11 21:27

Night shadow coding.

SPEAKER_02 21:29

I just saw that one. That's only one hard point, too. Yeah. That uh reduces range of enemy ships' passive sensors by one, and the optional mod is reduce the ship's silhouette by one in combat, so it makes it harder for that makes it harder for like passive sensors to pick us up and like harder to hit if we get into combat. I feel like that one would be really good to have, because it's only one hard point.

SPEAKER_11 21:51

Let's do it. Honestly. What how how how much and can we?

SPEAKER_06 21:56

Oh, total it up once you're uh ready to come to me with your With their shopping list.

SPEAKER_02 22:01

Yeah, so nightshadow coding, that's one. Let's see. Pseudo cloaking devices. What's this?

SPEAKER_06 22:08

That's the one that's like doesn't work visually, but uh.

SPEAKER_02 22:12

Because it looks like between the night shadow coding and pseudo cloaking, it feels like those are kind of doing the same thing effectively.

SPEAKER_06 22:22

Yeah, I'm gonna say that just for for the sake of uh not like you'll have a lot of overlap. So we'll say one you can probably install one thing per thing, so it's like one stealth thing, one computer thing, one defense thing, maybe? Yeah, like if there's other things. I'm thinking defense. But probably like in the same way as like you can't attach like 30 scopes to your rifle.

SPEAKER_02 22:48

Oh, um, cause there's also a slave because there's a lot of there's a lot of good stealth things. A slave circuit, that could be good, because that's like uh an automatic co-pilot thing. So if we want to just get the have the ship be able to fly to our destin or like wherever we are without having to like have a a getaway driver. I like that. And allow the ship to autonomously use its weapon system.

SPEAKER_04 23:13

Aye. Depending on how much we're sending messages to other people right at the very top, advanced subspace encryption array. Okay. That'd be good.

SPEAKER_12 23:22

Let's see, how is that? Advanced subspace.

SPEAKER_06 23:23

Only the intended recipient can detect a transmission sent with that attachment.

SPEAKER_02 23:27

Ooh, yeah, that's good. And that's one hard point. Okay, let's choose that. Let's choose all the optional mods. We're just let's forget all our money. Okay, so that's two hard points. If we're gonna have slave circuit, advanced subspace encryption. I'm adding these on. Wait, what was the second one? Slave. Slave circuit.

SPEAKER_06 23:46

It's actually it's called a Boba Fett Starship Circuit now. I don't think we want to do a cloaking device, because that would use up all four of our remaining things, but I will say that uh the YT1300 does have um minus one to handling, because it is a freighter, so if you wanted something like uh Well, let's maybe do an engine ring stabilizer just to increase the handling.

SPEAKER_02 24:10

I feel like the pseudo-cloaking device might be better than the nightshadow coating.

SPEAKER_06 24:16

Cause here's the thing. You're called if you're if you're being the clandestine crow, you could just paint it black. You'll be in space anyway. Like, cause like the yonder was painted sky blue, so it's like they tried to do a similar thing where it's like they were for in atmosphere. But if but if you guys are concerned about like checkpoints between like systems and stuff, and you're gonna paint it black to be a crow.

SPEAKER_02 24:38

That's true. What do we think?

SPEAKER_11 24:40

I'm yeah, black. Absolutely. We're called clandestine crow. I feel like we should be black.

SPEAKER_02 24:44

So don't bother with the things for for uh visual, but maybe focus on sensors.

SPEAKER_06 24:49

The pseudo, yeah. Um but there are if you want something, there are different targeting uh advanced targeting array and predictive targeting array.

SPEAKER_02 24:56

Ooh, what's the difference?

SPEAKER_06 24:59

Uh the advanced targeting array is more expensive and has more options.

SPEAKER_02 25:02

Let's do the advanced. We got a lot of money. We got a lot of money.

SPEAKER_11 25:06

Let's spend it all.

SPEAKER_02 25:08

Shields? Yeah, let's maybe uh let's maybe go for something for shields.

SPEAKER_11 25:12

I I I think defense is not a bad idea, especially for like uh a stealth ship. Once stealth fails, which we will we ought to fail. Uh shields is a good idea.

SPEAKER_10 25:24

Also, we have a lot of enemies.

SPEAKER_06 25:26

Yeah, because there is the overcharged shields, if you want to do shields. That that is an active thing. Um, so it allows somebody to do a mechanics check to overcharge the shields, adding two to all defense zones for a round.

SPEAKER_04 25:38

Cause I'm only doing st I'm only doing an astrogation up there, so I could probably mechanics check stuff.

SPEAKER_02 25:45

True. Yeah, do we want to do overcharge shields for our last one? Oh yeah.

SPEAKER_05 25:50

I think so.

SPEAKER_02 25:51

Sure.

SPEAKER_05 25:52

Hey look, that ship you came in on, uh, maybe I'll I'll tell you what, I'll throw in the upgrades for free if you give me that ship.

SPEAKER_02 25:58

I mean Okay. What do we think? Do we have another ship or is that our only ship right now?

SPEAKER_06 26:03

Or only like if our other people need two your two the Jedi detective and his friend, they came in their own ship, so you do have two.

SPEAKER_02 26:12

Okay, so we at least still have one at home.

SPEAKER_04 26:15

I mean, our ship's hot. We gotta get rid of it.

SPEAKER_02 26:17

The ship is hot. Yeah. Well, actually, no, this one is not hot because this is the one that was totally off the books for the side.

SPEAKER_06 26:24

Yeah, it's just that the ISB knows it.

SPEAKER_02 26:26

Yeah, like we wouldn't be able to use it for this mission, but like, if we do want to have like a just a completely nondescript nothing ship as a backup for our other people at the base, it might be good to hang on to this one.

SPEAKER_11 26:39

How much would uh how much would Z uh upgrades cost uh if we were not to give you Z ship?

SPEAKER_02 26:47

Yeah, because with the with the attachments right now it's looking like if uh if we're choosing all the optional mods, which I did, it's gonna be like 51,8 like five 51,800.

SPEAKER_11 26:58

That's which not bad.

SPEAKER_02 27:01

Yeah, which again, like split three ways. We got a lot of money. That's like not bad.

SPEAKER_04 27:06

Three ways?

SPEAKER_02 27:07

Or four ways, sorry. The other number that is us.

SPEAKER_04 27:11

Starz and just here to look pretty.

SPEAKER_05 27:14

Uh so that'll come to uh fifty fifty-two thousand if you want to hand that over, or I can just uh take the ship you wrote in on.

SPEAKER_06 27:23

We'll do fifty-two thousand.

SPEAKER_02 27:24

Yeah, I feel like the fifty-two thousand.

SPEAKER_06 27:26

Yeah, it's probably the better choice because you the uh the ship you came in on is probably worth about twenty thousand more than the cost of these upgrades.

SPEAKER_02 27:36

It's just trying to fleece us.

SPEAKER_06 27:38

So it'll take a little bit to uh install these upgrades. But Gray comes back and he sees the ship and he sees like the the text painting it. What are you painting it black? Are you giving it the the transam paint job with the bird on it?

SPEAKER_02 27:52

Hell yeah. Or at least, you know, like over the black.

SPEAKER_04 27:54

It'll be like a matte black on shiny black kind of thing.

SPEAKER_02 27:57

Oh yeah, so it's still like uh still subtle.

SPEAKER_06 28:00

Yeah, like the like the bird is like shiny.

SPEAKER_02 28:02

Yeah.

SPEAKER_06 28:03

Hell yeah. Paint some stars on it, it's got glitter.

SPEAKER_02 28:07

Look, it just looks like a star field if you're looking out the window.

SPEAKER_06 28:11

I could really use a wish run now. Craig comes back, he says, okay, so uh this is this is it, huh?

SPEAKER_02 28:17

The clandestine crow.

SPEAKER_06 28:19

Yeah, that'll do. That'll do.

SPEAKER_02 28:21

I should hope it'll do. We put a lot of mods on it. Or is that like that'll do for getting into SBI?

SPEAKER_06 28:27

Well, we're not gonna be able to get into SBI, so we should probably talk about how this is actually gonna run.

SPEAKER_02 28:31

Okay, go on.

SPEAKER_06 28:33

Because uh, I'm guessing you paid cash for this whole thing. Yeah. No trades, which means we still got the custard gannet.

SPEAKER_02 28:39

You still have the custard gannet.

SPEAKER_06 28:41

Somebody's gonna have to take that back. I'm the only one you brought with you.

SPEAKER_02 28:44

Uh yeah.

SPEAKER_11 28:45

Z that'll be fine. I'm sure that'll be fine.

SPEAKER_02 28:48

So yeah, I guess we we are gonna have to uh review how this is gonna go before you split paths.

SPEAKER_06 28:53

Yeah, so I've been uh reviewing some things, and uh, you know, you guys are gonna have to execute this, so uh it'll be ultimately up to you. But here's some things to keep in mind. So, trying to find this D16. So that droid is gonna be down in the link room.

SPEAKER_02 29:12

Okay, what is the link room?

SPEAKER_06 29:14

It's this uh kind of like this uh mainframe that we've got deep in the heart of headquarters. Some of the more sensitive and important machinery is kept down there. I wouldn't be surprised if D16 is not the only droid that's hooked up to those systems. But the problem is getting there. I can provide you schematics of the building, I can uh give you a map. But the problem is gonna be getting in.

SPEAKER_12 29:37

Okay.

SPEAKER_06 29:38

Oh zo. Well, it's ISB headquarters. And uh you four are wanted, and I am dead.

SPEAKER_02 29:44

You are dead. So uh any any any way we could get in that would kind of avoid cameras or senses.

SPEAKER_06 29:51

Well, the way I see it, you got two options. Option number one is uh take advantage of the night crew. See, um, ever since this whole Empire thing started, the ISB has been massively ramping up surveillance, which means hiring a lot more people. They don't want any uh potential Confederate sympathizers, so a lot of those new hires have to be humans. Which means that the pool of talent that they've been hiring is uh not that big, so a lot of their uh they have to pick and choose where they put the good people. And Night Crew tends to be a little more lax on security.

SPEAKER_02 30:30

Okay.

SPEAKER_06 30:30

But the problem with going in at night is that nobody's supposed to be in there aside from the people who are doing monitoring, surveillance, people who are watching other planets, other side of the planet, that thing. Nobody's supposed to be wandering the hall. So if you get spotted, it's kind of an instant you're not supposed to be here.

SPEAKER_11 30:46

It uh maybe we uh maybe we could uh do better to sneak past them or I don't know, maybe we could find uh Or you could go in during the day.

SPEAKER_06 30:57

Go in during the day. If somebody sees you, they may not notice or care, but you would have to disguise yourselves, like I said. A lot of humans, not all of you can pass. Or you could do uh there's a trick that I see a lot in movies. I've never seen it work. You get arrested on purpose, then you bust out of the prison inside. You bust inside the prison? I mean, you can bust wherever you want. It's a free galaxy. Though not if the Empire is.

SPEAKER_11 31:32

No, it's not, that's what we're fighting for.

SPEAKER_02 31:33

Yeah, maybe maybe don't we're fighting for the right to bust wherever you want. That's the only thing Chris is in the game.

SPEAKER_10 31:41

For your right! To bust bust everywhere.

SPEAKER_09 31:45

Even Starzan? Especially Starzan.

SPEAKER_04 31:49

Yeah, it's gonna take time his sister so we can bust anywhere.

SPEAKER_02 31:52

Uh oh. It's the right to bust or not.

SPEAKER_10 31:55

That is the question. To bust or not to bust. The right to not bust.

SPEAKER_02 32:01

Because, like, personally, I uh I mean, Grey, you are you are ISB. If we got arrested on purpose, what do you think the odds are that we would get out of those holding cells?

SPEAKER_06 32:11

Well, that depends on how skilled you are.

SPEAKER_02 32:15

Have you ever seen anyone do it?

SPEAKER_06 32:17

No.

SPEAKER_02 32:17

Yeah.

SPEAKER_06 32:18

I But the ISB doesn't tend to arrest Imperial Knights.

SPEAKER_11 32:22

Maybe. Just maybe. You may be onto something if we do get arrested, but uh I don't know if I trust our Well, maybe we can smuggle some uh smuggle something up our butts when we uh when we go there.

SPEAKER_06 32:35

Yeah, that reminds me. And he pulls out this thing from his pack. This is my code cylinder. Oh, not his butt. Okay, good.

SPEAKER_02 32:41

It's gonna be like, where is he pulling it from?

SPEAKER_06 32:43

This is my code cylinder. Uh it should be able to get you past cylinder. Any unlocked door in the building once. I'm dead, so I don't think that my credentials would have been immediately deleted. It's probably on backlog. So you could probably use this thing once to get through a locked door if you can't manage to slice it or find another way in. After that, uh it'll be alerted in the system, and you might have some heat on you once that happens. But if you find yourselves in a jam, take this and you'll be able to get through a locked door.

SPEAKER_12 33:15

Okay.

SPEAKER_06 33:15

Once you're inside, however you manage to get there. If you want to be quick, you're probably only gonna be able to go to one. They're on opposite sides of the building. If you need some gear. Good thing about busting into the SBI at a spy mission is it's where all the spies live. Where do they live? Well, probably at their houses, but it's where all the spies work. If you if you think you need some gear, we do have the ISB armory.

SPEAKER_12 33:41

Oh.

SPEAKER_06 33:42

Any kind of spy gear you can think of, anything that might be in the ciphers and masks source book, you could probably find it there. We also have a uh contraband vault from all the various people we've arrested who haven't escaped. If there's something you think you might like from the no disintegration source book, you could probably find it in that vault. Holographic disguise, matrices, big guns. I think I saw a suit of Mandalorian armor in there one time. Ooh.

SPEAKER_02 34:07

But again, you're gonna be quick one source book or another.

SPEAKER_06 34:10

Probably only gonna have to have time to go to one.

SPEAKER_02 34:13

Okay. Cause like as far as busted in, I uh I don't necessarily trust the um the uh get arrested on purpose. I feel like that might just be something where they call the Imperial Knights real fast, and then we gotta do that.

SPEAKER_11 34:25

And then we get executed, yes.

SPEAKER_02 34:26

Yeah, then we gotta deal with Anakin or like one of the other Imperial Knights. I feel like that get real messy. And even if we put on like hu like even like Starzans are human, but like even you're a real distinctive looking human. I don't know if I trust us to blend in during the day. So my vote is for nighttime infiltration.

SPEAKER_12 34:43

How's everyone else feel?

SPEAKER_11 34:45

I feel like nighttime nighttime infiltration is the only things that make sense out of everything, yes. Yes.

SPEAKER_02 34:51

Yes. Yeah. And then just like everyone be real careful just to not get noticed whatsoever. I mean, if they're like the bad ones, I mean like we we can do stealth, we can just like execute do like stealth executions as we go if we really gotta.

SPEAKER_11 35:06

We just gotta make sure that uh uh we uh don't drink milk before the heist and zenwell gravy. Don't drink milk. Is nobody else lactose intolerant, just me?

SPEAKER_02 35:15

It's been so long since I've seen it. Is that a Jay and Silent Bob strike back joke? Half.

SPEAKER_11 35:22

Half a Jay and Silent Bob strike back joke. Because that wasn't the thing that came through my head, but I was just like, you know, you so everybody's lactose intolerant, and therefore after you drink milk. But now that I think about it, I did subconsciously rip that off of Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back, yes.

SPEAKER_02 35:40

That's gonna be the thing. If we roll into spare, it's like, oh man, your tummy's rumbling. You got a bad fart, it's gonna s it's gonna let everyone know you're here.

SPEAKER_11 35:48

Holy fuck. The little stoner was right!

SPEAKER_02 35:52

But uh, yeah, so as far as getting in, do you know of um you know I I know we love a sewer. We know we love a sewer plan. Any parts of the ISB headquarters that you uh might recommend as a point of entrance?

SPEAKER_06 36:06

Well, we do have uh you've been there, the uh when it was the SBI building, there is an intake and X-fill hangar where we have some of our vehicles and speeders. Uh, there is, of course, the front door. It is a pretty locked-down building. They don't want people coming in. Sewers are pretty small. You'd have to be pretty tiny to fit through.

SPEAKER_12 36:27

How tiny.

SPEAKER_06 36:29

You could also airdrop.

SPEAKER_02 36:31

Because we did get that uh that autonomous the slave circuit on the ship. So if we did want to do an airdrop over and just like, you know, have the ship fly to a a safe location and until it's time for our pickup, and we all just airdrop onto the roof.

SPEAKER_11 36:48

Hmm.

SPEAKER_10 36:48

Airdrop onto the roof.

SPEAKER_11 36:50

Uh uh, do we trust ourselves to be hung from string? We're fine.

SPEAKER_02 36:56

I I mean we can get a parachute. I'm sure they got parachutes here.

SPEAKER_11 36:59

That makes me feel even worse, honestly.

SPEAKER_02 37:02

Chris, do you want to be strapped to Starzan's tummy?

SPEAKER_11 37:04

Starzan, are you comfortable with uh skydiving? Panthor can carry you.

SPEAKER_06 37:08

What if you has a jetpack?

SPEAKER_02 37:10

Wait, which one of us has a jetpack?

SPEAKER_06 37:12

You uh stole a jetpack from the uh that Mandalori when you were tussling with like the Mandalorians. When you got your ill-gotten money, when you got all your million dollars.

SPEAKER_02 37:22

Oh. Right, I was busy sniping. Who grabbed the jetpack?

SPEAKER_06 37:26

Is that me?

SPEAKER_02 37:27

It might have been you.

SPEAKER_10 37:28

Among you, you have a jetpack. So what is a communal jetpack? Who would like to be the jetpack guy? Or gal?

SPEAKER_02 37:35

I mean, Chris seems the most uh anxious.

SPEAKER_11 37:38

Yes. I I will I will handle the jetpack, yes, please.

SPEAKER_02 37:42

Although, hang on.

SPEAKER_11 37:43

My plan worked.

SPEAKER_02 37:45

I mean, they wouldn't have jetpacks here, would they? We'll get more jetpacks? Yeah, the like four. Well, like, I mean, here, here, like from the the ship right before we go.

SPEAKER_05 37:56

Hmm.

SPEAKER_02 37:56

Just like, hey Bammy, you know anyone around here might be selling jetpacks?

SPEAKER_05 38:00

Jetpacks? Does this look like some kind of fun festival? No, this is a place where you buy ships. Why the fuck would we have jetpacks?

SPEAKER_02 38:07

Well, you know, for people as as gear to have on the ships, for standard gear to be on a ship.

SPEAKER_11 38:12

Sounds kind of rude. What the fuck was that?

SPEAKER_06 38:15

We've got some uh emergency escape chutes if you want some of those. Those are uh safety gear.

SPEAKER_02 38:21

I mean, we probably will just need the chutes anyways if we want to put those on. Yeah, throw in a couple of those.

SPEAKER_05 38:26

I mean it's standard.

SPEAKER_02 38:27

Well, okay. Can you put on a couple extras? Yeah. Thank you. Thank you.

SPEAKER_10 38:34

Thank you.

SPEAKER_04 38:35

Thank you, Bammy.

SPEAKER_10 38:36

Thank you, baby. Such a sweetheart, this Bammy.

SPEAKER_04 38:39

Was he standing there during our plan to infiltrate the SBS?

SPEAKER_10 38:42

No, he's painting your ship.

SPEAKER_04 38:43

Okay.

SPEAKER_10 38:44

Yeah, I was just hollering at him. He's just uh what like just jamming out to his walkman.

SPEAKER_02 38:49

No, he's just standing in the background doing some idle animations until we interact with him.

SPEAKER_11 38:55

Get me out of this hell!

SPEAKER_02 38:57

Yeah, no, it's it's it's fine. Chris uses the jetpack, the rest of us will use the escape chutes, it'll be fine. It'll be fine.

SPEAKER_11 39:03

Let's do it. I'm gonna look for the jetpack here.

SPEAKER_02 39:06

Yeah, we gotta we got a plan then? What do we think? Feeling good? I'm feeling good. Okay. Let's uh let's part ways with with Grey then, I guess.

SPEAKER_06 39:16

Part ways with Grey, he takes the uh custard Gannett back to Alishan and he gives you uh good luck! Have fun, don't die.

SPEAKER_02 39:26

You have a firm business-like handshake before we go. Just try to be safe. Shut up.

SPEAKER_06 39:32

Remember what I said? Once. Once. Once.

SPEAKER_02 39:35

Oh yeah, for his uh cylinder. What? Where's Carl's cylinder? Shut up, you pervert.

SPEAKER_06 39:44

The cylinder must not be damaged.

SPEAKER_04 39:49

I was trying to make a joke.

SPEAKER_07 39:52

You I was trying to make a joke. You're a damn pervert!

SPEAKER_11 40:01

I'm not like this in real life, I swear.

SPEAKER_02 40:05

See, my brain is stupid because it's like you started giggling when it's like the cylinder must not be damaged. I'm imagining we see gray, and that's when it's like he just has a cylinder-shaped body. He's just like a toilet paper tube with a lens. Man, I'm fine.

SPEAKER_06 40:24

Though depending on uh how I guess depending on how um quickly you wanted to use up your last resort, you could just use it to get in the front door.

SPEAKER_02 40:34

That's true, but then it's like there's gonna be security at the front door. I feel like it's uh Not if you time it.

SPEAKER_06 40:40

He would also, along with the information, he would give you a data pad that has the schematics of the building, where you can find all the rooms you would need, and uh any patrols, so you would be able to have a a blue on your dice to avoid security. Patrols? Oh, patrols.

SPEAKER_11 40:57

Can I celebrate jetpack? Probably not.

SPEAKER_02 40:59

I I feel like I would still rather try to go in through the top and just save that in case of emergency, like avoid using it as long as possible.

SPEAKER_04 41:08

Yeah, what if we needed to get into wherever place we decide to go?

SPEAKER_02 41:12

Yeah, look, if we find ourselves backed into a corner, we're gonna be glad that we saved it.

SPEAKER_11 41:17

That's right. That's fair.

SPEAKER_02 41:19

We use it to hide in a broom closet. Okay, let's fly to Coruscant. Let's let's heist this thing, baby.

SPEAKER_06 41:27

So, this is your first time in this new ship.

SPEAKER_02 41:32

It sure is.

SPEAKER_06 41:33

So, uh is baby handle. Well, can step aboard. It definitely smells like it's recently been worked on. It has that kind of like Ooh, that new ship smell. Not new, but like like almost kind of metallic. Like it. Like it smells like a shop.

SPEAKER_02 41:50

Look, new ship smell is literally just a spray smell in a can that they put on cars to make you think it's new. Yeah, he sprayed that around. Okay, good. We got new ship smell. The can is still there. Look, it's completely artificial. New cars don't actually smell like that.

SPEAKER_10 42:09

They should sell that like commercially, so you can like just bring it home. They do. Yeah, but then it would spoil everything. You can buy it.

SPEAKER_02 42:15

Yeah. You gotta live with the illusion. That's what makes it fun.

SPEAKER_10 42:18

Come home to new car smell.

SPEAKER_02 42:20

Wow, you living in a new car these days? I'm not living in just any car, I'm living in a new car. Let's try let's take this baby out. Let's stretch her wings.

SPEAKER_10 42:34

Let's stretch them out. Wait, wait a minute. Let's bust this thing open.

SPEAKER_12 42:40

Why are you trying to fuck the ship already? We just got it!

SPEAKER_10 42:43

Let's uh take it for its maiden voyage.

SPEAKER_06 42:46

Take it for its maiden voyage. Pile into the seats in the cockpit, get it all fired up.

SPEAKER_10 42:52

Smash a bottle on the side of it.

SPEAKER_02 42:56

Yeah, you don't realize that we're supposed to be on the outside, so you just crack a bottle of champagne and then we have to mop it up.

SPEAKER_10 43:07

Stars I don't get it.

SPEAKER_06 43:10

For the mop again. Can we make sure the ship has a mop? I mean, you can buy one next time you go to a store.

SPEAKER_10 43:16

I don't think uh bucket and a mop.

SPEAKER_06 43:18

And a bucket crow. The wop bucket.

SPEAKER_02 43:22

The wop bucket. For when someone gets too excited and we gotta clean up after them.

SPEAKER_11 43:30

Get the wop bucket.

SPEAKER_02 43:31

Jesus Christ. Okay, let's just go to Coruscant. Can we go to Coruscant? What's it gonna be to fly to Coruscant?

SPEAKER_06 43:37

Uh the capital of the galaxy, one purple astrogation. I'll give you a destiny point because there is imperial activity.

SPEAKER_04 43:43

Okay, so one red.

SPEAKER_06 43:45

Yeah.

SPEAKER_04 43:45

Four success, one advantage. Oh yeah.

SPEAKER_06 43:49

Easily go to Coruscant.

SPEAKER_04 43:51

Easily go to that place where we go. Yeah.

SPEAKER_06 43:54

And uh as you might expect, travel to Foreston is Easy but also difficult because there are several Star Destroyers in orbit that uh are probably gonna be scanning you tryna trying to find out what's going on.

SPEAKER_12 44:13

Uh look, we got we got we got a pseudo-cloaking device. Let's get cloaked.

SPEAKER_06 44:19

Okay, so you can uh activate that, so it's gonna increase the difficulty of all checks to detect the ship with sensors by two. So uh let's see if they can do it then. Five failures and a threat. No, nobody notices you. Fuck yeah.

SPEAKER_12 44:35

Five failures is pretty great. Nice and easy.

SPEAKER_11 44:38

I high five everybody. Roll again. Failures each of us.

SPEAKER_06 44:42

Slip past in the clandestine crow, FKA the second chance, FKA the Stellar Envoy, potentially FKA other things, but probably uh never to be known as anything else ever again, if anybody else gets their hands on it.

SPEAKER_12 44:57

Nice.

SPEAKER_06 44:58

If we don't blow it up first. Yeah, if you don't blow it up first. And you can head down to the night side, of course, and to the Imperial Security Bureau headquarters.

SPEAKER_02 45:09

Okay. Let's get all ready with our Parish or with our chutes and jet packs. And how how does it work for using the slave circuit to fly this thing? Would I just like set a destination for it before we jump out?

SPEAKER_06 45:22

Yeah, you can just program it.

SPEAKER_02 45:24

Yeah. Program it to uh land somewhere relatively safe.

SPEAKER_06 45:29

So give me a give me uh it's nighttime, two purple and a black perception to find somewhere to stash it. Two purple and a black.

SPEAKER_02 45:38

Yeah, we can all look out the window.

SPEAKER_04 45:41

One threat.

SPEAKER_02 45:43

Uh not you. Two purple and a black. Two success. Two success, two ex two advantage, one triumph, four.

SPEAKER_06 45:51

Yeah, you can find a place that's gonna be secure, it's gonna be out of the way, it's gonna allow the ship to come in and save your asses.

SPEAKER_02 45:59

Illyria's threat is that she points out somewhere really obvious, and then we all look at her and just go, uh, Illyria, that's the Knight's Temple. I know that place. Somewhere I always felt safe. Yeah, I'll program it to fly there and set down uh after we jump out.

SPEAKER_06 46:19

So how far above the building are you jumping out?

SPEAKER_02 46:23

Uh probably try to m get as close as possible. Just in case things don't go how we want and we don't necessarily get pasted. Maybe aiming for like a short-range fall.

SPEAKER_11 46:38

I mean, I'll have a jet pack, uh, so I'll be good.

SPEAKER_06 46:41

Like, basically, the kinds of shoots that they have, uh, at least in terms of gear, are anti-grav shoots. So it's just like a backpack with a small repulsor lift that allows you to uh take no wound or strain from falls.

SPEAKER_02 46:54

Nice. Okay, so we don't actually have to like worry about deploying that, we'll be fine. Yeah, you just gotta. No matter the height. Okay, we'll still maybe uh minimize the uh the height just so we don't have to work as hard to aim.

SPEAKER_11 47:07

Just in case just in case there's a wind.

SPEAKER_06 47:10

Yeah, like you might get blown around, you might get off course, so it'll probably be a piloting on Chris's part to keep you on course after you jump out. I can do that. Uh piloting uh space or planetary? Uh well let's let's determine how far off course they get first. Okay.

SPEAKER_02 47:27

So is this so uh for Chris to uh save any of us that get blown away?

SPEAKER_06 47:31

Yeah, so uh you're gonna be jumping from high up or not very high up. Let's aim for like uh what range band from the roof?

SPEAKER_02 47:42

Let's let's aim for short range.

SPEAKER_04 47:44

How alarming would it be for us to fly back close to the building? But it alarms.

SPEAKER_06 47:50

If we have damage. Short range would be like, what's that spaceship doing right above ISB headquarters?

SPEAKER_02 47:56

That's true. Maybe may maybe go for medium.

SPEAKER_06 47:59

Like I think long or extreme would be.

SPEAKER_02 48:01

Long or extreme? Okay, let's go long.

SPEAKER_06 48:04

Let's go long. So uh it'll be a three-purple coordination to aim yourselves then. For all of us? Not Chris, because he'll be flying. He'll be doing it, dog.

SPEAKER_02 48:15

You're on you're on wrangling duty if any of us get blown away.

SPEAKER_06 48:18

That's fair.

SPEAKER_03 48:19

Two failure.

SPEAKER_06 48:20

Jesus Christ.

SPEAKER_02 48:21

One success, one advantage. I'm fine. Three success.

SPEAKER_06 48:24

Okay. So I'll give you destiny point, Chris. Uh so it'll be a red, a purple, and because Olyri got two failures, a two black piloting to go and readjust her.

SPEAKER_11 48:35

Motherfucker. How many uh how many destiny points do we got? You got two. I'm gonna flip a destiny. A success, but a threat.

SPEAKER_06 48:42

So your threat as you're coming down, you haven't used this jet pack, so it's like everybody's got their anti-grab shoots. You can fly out, bring Illyria back on course so you can all kind of land on the roof. But as you're kind of bringing her back and setting down with her, your jetpack starts to sputter as it runs out of fuel.

SPEAKER_02 49:03

Oh no.

SPEAKER_06 49:04

So you'll have to refuel it. You won't be able to fly around during this mission.

SPEAKER_02 49:11

We'll be able to use it to fly back out.

SPEAKER_06 49:13

Oh.

SPEAKER_11 49:16

Oh, yeah, I can save you.

SPEAKER_04 49:17

I mean, I would have fallen just fine because it is an anti-grab pack, but.

SPEAKER_11 49:21

I can save you.

SPEAKER_04 49:22

Our mission is.

SPEAKER_11 49:22

You would have gone into a chasm.

SPEAKER_02 49:24

Yeah. Chasm! You've fallen down to the lower levels of Coruscant. Got eaten by rack wolves.

SPEAKER_06 49:32

One of those eyeless wolves that screams like a woman.

SPEAKER_02 49:37

Okay, so we're on the roof.

SPEAKER_06 49:40

You can land on the roof, uh, jetpack running out of fuel, but everybody else's backpack repulsor is working just fine.

SPEAKER_02 49:47

Okay, because like they have like the slopey uh sides on the building. Can we kind of like look down the sides and see if we can spot like any open windows that we could slide towards?

SPEAKER_06 49:59

Um, you could, however, this is the roof of a building. There are like uh blinking lights, there are some antennas and things that are kind of sticking up. There is a maintenance hatch that you could just enter if you want to go through that way.

SPEAKER_02 50:15

Okay. Can we check for traps on the maintenance hatch? Check for alarms before you open anything.

SPEAKER_06 50:20

Uh yeah.

SPEAKER_02 50:22

What that gonna be.

SPEAKER_06 50:24

So probably a skullduggery.

SPEAKER_12 50:28

What kind of skullduggery?

SPEAKER_06 50:30

So if you want to try and pop it open too, it'd be a three purple.

SPEAKER_02 50:34

Because I have a yellow two green to skullduggery. Does anyone else have better?

SPEAKER_11 50:37

Uh for skullduggery? Um, three green. Yeah.

SPEAKER_04 50:44

I have two green. I'm pure of heart.

SPEAKER_02 50:47

I'm the only one whose skull is all dugged up. Three green? Or three uh purple?

SPEAKER_06 50:52

Yeah.

SPEAKER_02 50:52

Three success.

SPEAKER_06 50:54

Okay, so you can open it. There's no alarm that appears to be triggered, as far as you can tell.

SPEAKER_02 50:59

Man, I wasn't able to check for that before I opened it.

SPEAKER_06 51:01

Well, you could check, but there's doesn't matter. If there is an alarm, it's a silent alarm.

SPEAKER_02 51:06

Uh.

SPEAKER_06 51:07

But uh there there's no evidence that you have been made yet.

SPEAKER_02 51:12

Let's just close it, lock it behind us, and get away from here in case anyone comes to investigate.

SPEAKER_06 51:17

Yeah. So you find yourselves in a uh as you climb down in a little maintenance room, there's a ladder that you can climb down, and it's like almost like a uh a janitor's closet. There is no cart in the clo in the janitor's closet. There are no uh cleaning droids in there. They are probably all out doing their jobs since it is after hours.

SPEAKER_02 51:44

Oh, because I wonder if, um, uh, because we can't use the dark. How many destiny points do we have?

SPEAKER_09 51:50

Got uh one at the end. One now.

SPEAKER_02 51:53

One. Chris, what what upgrades do you have for Ward's Foresight?

SPEAKER_11 51:58

Um, I think I filled that sucker up. Let's see. Uh let's see. Yeah, that tree is full. Uh what do what are you looking for?

SPEAKER_02 52:06

Well, no, because I'm like, if we're if we're sneaking and it's like we want to be able to like avoid avoid like guards and stuff, if there's a way that you could cast Ward's foresight just to like be able to anticipate like what corners we need to be turning down to uh avoiding.

SPEAKER_11 52:22

Can I be like that can I be like that Nick Nicholas Cage movie next where he's able to see like two minutes into the future, so he just sends multiple versions of himself uh out out to find out which is the bad one, then he finally is able to figure out what the good path is? Is that something I could do with a full tree of ward's foresight?

SPEAKER_06 52:42

Uh probably not. Fuck. I don't think you can yeah, I don't think you can perceive it. And you, Prince of Persia, your way back if you it would it would depend on what you roll, would would uh For uh for my ward's foresight? Yeah, because if you want to roll it and then that'll determine what you can do.

SPEAKER_11 52:59

Yeah, okay. Three lightside.

SPEAKER_06 53:02

Okay, you wanna flip a destiny and use those?

SPEAKER_11 53:05

Yes, please.

SPEAKER_06 53:06

Whose future do you want to look into?

SPEAKER_11 53:08

I want to look into Hmm.

SPEAKER_02 53:12

I think Kala is the best with stealth of anyone, so it's like if I'm maybe going at the head of the group to try to stay quiet, and then it's like doing words foresight to see if I'm gonna like accidentally monetary.

SPEAKER_11 53:26

I'm gonna I'm gonna do you. Uh yeah, I'm gonna I'm gonna foresight you instead here.

SPEAKER_06 53:30

Kala, which direction are you planning to turn once you leave the broom closet?

SPEAKER_02 53:36

Um follow your heart. Because Gray gave us like the uh the blueprints. Which or like did he give us blueprints?

SPEAKER_06 53:44

Yeah, you have s the schematics on a datapad.

SPEAKER_02 53:46

Because I'd want to turn in like whatever the direction would be towards this uh the room where the droid is is being kept. Because I know he's like, oh, you can go and get this equipment as well, but I feel like priority should still be Well, you're at the top, so like the Oh yeah, it's like down at the bottom.

SPEAKER_06 54:04

Yeah, so the going to either the armory or the vault would be on the way.

SPEAKER_02 54:08

Okay.

SPEAKER_06 54:09

Uh we'll say that the armory is on your left and the vault is on your right.

SPEAKER_02 54:13

And the vault is the uh the ciphers gear.

SPEAKER_06 54:17

The armory is the spy equipment and the vault is the contraband.

SPEAKER_04 54:21

Follow your Is the contraband spy stuff?

SPEAKER_06 54:24

It's contraband would be for people they um arrested. So probably probably some spies, probably some bounty hunters.

SPEAKER_02 54:32

Look, I feel I feel like for our uh what we're gonna be doing, the the ciphers and masks stuff might be I think that's gonna be the way to go. So I'm gonna say turn in whatever direction that's gonna be.

SPEAKER_06 54:43

Okay, so what you see in Kala's future is uh a glimpse of a KX security droid cracking skulls.

SPEAKER_02 54:52

Oh Kraken skulls? Our skulls?

SPEAKER_06 54:58

That's just what you get. You get a flash of uh this KX security droid cracking skulls.

SPEAKER_10 55:03

Is that the name of the security droid? Release the cracking skulls.

SPEAKER_02 55:07

Um, are you seeing anything in the vision of it cracking skulls? Like is it out in the open? Does it look like maybe those events we could go through?

SPEAKER_06 55:15

Well, it's more like a sensation. Like our skulls are being cracked? That's just what you see. You see this droid. Okay, fine. Stomping on stomping on heads and breaking them beneath its feet.

SPEAKER_02 55:25

What if we went right? Do you see the same thing?

SPEAKER_06 55:27

I mean, he had an vision of the city. You decided to go left, that's what he saw.

SPEAKER_02 55:33

Okay, can we step outside and just look for some vents that we can maybe climb in?

SPEAKER_10 55:37

Oh, sweet. We can diehard it. Hell yeah. Get together, crawl in some vents. How would we have?

SPEAKER_06 55:45

So you can step out. It is uh night time. Gray did give you the patrol routes. So if you want there aren't any vents, at least, like the ones that you can see are too small for you to get into.

SPEAKER_11 56:00

The patrol routes themselves, there. Cause like there's patrol, there's patrol, like they gave us schematics for the patrols, right? As well?

SPEAKER_06 56:08

Yeah, he gave you the patrol routes and the and what the patrols are.

SPEAKER_11 56:10

Does it say does it say that there are skull smashing robots or something like that in the direction that we're going?

SPEAKER_06 56:17

It says that there are four groups of two troopers, each per floor, that are doing rounds.

SPEAKER_02 56:25

Okay, could we, instead of exiting, would we be able to stay by the closet that we're in and peek out through a crack so we could memorize their patrol patterns and then just sneak behind them after they go by?

SPEAKER_06 56:41

Uh, I mean, yeah, you can look at the data pad, you can time this out. So this would be a perception.

SPEAKER_12 56:46

What kind of perception?

SPEAKER_06 56:47

Uh, gives you a uh destiny point you are hiding in a closet. So we'll call this a uh and you're gonna have to kind of like listen through the door. Because he can give you like the timing and the sort of general route, but uh it's not gonna be super easy to actually notice when they're there and count. So that'll be a red, a purple, and a black.

SPEAKER_02 57:10

Mmm, I got one failure, two advantage. Anyone else want to try?

SPEAKER_10 57:15

Two success, two threat, one triumph. Oh, Star Sand's got it.

SPEAKER_06 57:20

So Kala, you got that uh advantage, so you can't tell when the patrols are coming. Yeah. Is there anything you want to notice aside from that?

SPEAKER_02 57:31

Uh I mean, I know you already said no at events, but if there's any way that we would be able to travel through the halls without being noticed.

SPEAKER_06 57:41

I mean, there are little like mouse droid holes that uh they might be able to scoot in and out of.

SPEAKER_02 57:47

Or if because like you said that there's no like droids or like big cleaning bins. Are there any uniforms hanging up in here?

SPEAKER_06 57:54

Um, you can find a uniform. A spare dirt a dirty uniform that somebody hung up. Oh, what size? But if it's Starzan? It's slightly it's it's slightly baggy on you. It's like adult male sized.

SPEAKER_02 58:06

On me, it's slightly baggy.

SPEAKER_06 58:08

Yeah, it'll be it'll be baggy on you tight on Starzan.

SPEAKER_02 58:11

What do you Well, I mean, it does it have a hat? Because I could I could tuck my little antennae under a hat and just wear a slightly baggy uniform.

SPEAKER_06 58:20

I mean you can just retract your antenna. Am I capable of doing that? Yeah, ruffle up your hair.

SPEAKER_02 58:24

Ruffle up your hair around them. Maybe it's a headband. I'll tie my hair up and just trap my antenna underneath it.

SPEAKER_06 58:30

You are also a wanted fugitive. Yeah, but like. So putting on a hat might be, you know, beneficial to anyway.

SPEAKER_02 58:37

That's why I was asking if there was a hat. Is there a hat?

SPEAKER_06 58:40

There there is a cap.

SPEAKER_02 58:41

Okay, I'll put on the cap.

SPEAKER_06 58:43

A chapeau. Pull the brim down over your eyes. Disguise yourself as a maintenance.

SPEAKER_02 58:48

And then if I if if I'm leading the way and I get spotted, that might give me some plausible deniability.

SPEAKER_06 58:55

Starzan, though, you got success, triumph, and threat. Yes. So you can notice when uh the patrols are coming past, you can keep an ear to the ground, feel through the ground their footsteps as they pass, get the get the sense of the rhythm how often they come past. And like right in the middle, when they're far enough ahead and far enough behind, you can open the door. And just as you open the door, the janitor is there bringing his cart back in.

SPEAKER_10 59:28

Should I just like very quickly knock him out?

SPEAKER_02 59:30

Yeah, just knock him out and take his cart.

SPEAKER_06 59:32

Yeah, give me a brawl.

SPEAKER_10 59:33

Yeah, brawl. Okay, what's the difficulty for this brawl type? Two purple. Two purple. Okay. I swear I'm not loyal! Six that's one advantage.

SPEAKER_06 59:46

Yeah, you can knock him out, hopefully with no sustaining damage. Uh, you have another uniform and a pupper cart with a big garbage can in it.

SPEAKER_02 59:54

But I fit Pant Star in the cart. And Chris and Illyria.

SPEAKER_06 59:58

And Chris and Illyria. Did you bring Panthstar into the ISB headquarters with you?

SPEAKER_02 1:00:02

Hmm, probably not. You don't want to put a shoot on Panthestar and drop him out of the uh the ship?

SPEAKER_06 1:00:08

PanthStar's on the ship chewing up the furniture.

SPEAKER_04 1:00:10

I get in the garbage. He's trained, he's actually.

SPEAKER_06 1:00:13

Yeah, Illyria and Chris could both fit kind of snugly into the garbage.

SPEAKER_10 1:00:18

Okay.

SPEAKER_02 1:00:18

Does does this other uniform fit Starzan? It's a little tight on me. It looked more like um.

SPEAKER_06 1:00:23

Yeah, the uniforms are like the same size. Or one size fits most. ISB stripper, but I'll take it.

SPEAKER_02 1:00:29

Okay. So yeah, put Chris and Illyria in the cart, throw some dirty old towels on top of them or something.

SPEAKER_06 1:00:35

Garbage bags.

SPEAKER_02 1:00:36

Yeah. Make our way through the hall.

SPEAKER_06 1:00:38

So you can make your way through the hall. Uh you are going right in between the patrols, so you can add a blue. This would be for Kala and Starzan. You can add a blue onto your cool check to play it cool. Daddy O.

SPEAKER_10 1:00:53

Blue, what's the difficulty?

SPEAKER_06 1:00:54

Or just a just a cool. So this is gonna be uh there's two of them. Be a red and a purple. That's better, Destiny.

SPEAKER_02 1:01:02

I'll let it ride. I'm equal to that. Woo! That feels like too many six that feels like too much for how relatively small this dice bull was, but I got I got four success, three threat, and a triumph.

SPEAKER_06 1:01:15

Hey. Okay, so uh you both succeeded in uh playing it cool. Starzan, you got advantage, so you just seem like uh a janitor, you've got your wild hair, your face paint, or maybe you've removed your face paint to go undercover and nobody would recognize you.

SPEAKER_11 1:01:36

He inverted the colors.

SPEAKER_06 1:01:38

Yeah. Kala, you got success, threat, and triumph. So as you guys are moving through the hallways, you can enter the armory, you can slip past, you can come to the armory door. Uh it is locked, so you will have to uh try and slice into it or otherwise pop that door open.

SPEAKER_02 1:01:59

Okay, what would it be to slice or pop?

SPEAKER_06 1:02:03

Uh it would be a skullduggery or computers if you have computer things, probably a skullduggery, though.

SPEAKER_04 1:02:10

Um poke my head out and does it. Yeah, what's your what's your computers? Four green.

SPEAKER_06 1:02:16

Do you have any slicing tools? Because this would be where you'd get them. So it would be a if you don't have any tools, and you have to do this quick. It would be a red, two purple, and a black skullduggery. Since you got that triumph, you can upgrade your role.

SPEAKER_02 1:02:30

What do we have for destiny?

SPEAKER_06 1:02:31

You have one.

SPEAKER_02 1:02:32

You know what? No, I won't flip it. Wow! Three success, three threat, and a triumph.

SPEAKER_06 1:02:38

So those threat that you got before, and the threat you got now, the door slides open, and you see silhouetted against the lights of this armory, a KX series security droid.

SPEAKER_02 1:02:53

Oh no!

SPEAKER_11 1:02:54

It was foretold! But it what if, and hear me out, we can get him on our side. Does he like money? We have money.

SPEAKER_06 1:03:02

But because you got that triumph, it isn't online right now. Ooh.

SPEAKER_02 1:03:07

Uh oooh. Maybe we can hack it and make it our ally.

SPEAKER_06 1:03:12

Let's do it.

SPEAKER_11 1:03:13

Let's do it. Can we hack it?

SPEAKER_06 1:03:14

Uh Who can hack it? It would be a computer's to try and hack it. Uh give me a perception first to find some uh equipment in here.

SPEAKER_04 1:03:22

Yeah, I was gonna say.

SPEAKER_06 1:03:22

Yeah.

SPEAKER_04 1:03:23

Can we find the slicing tools first? Can we all do perception? Because I'm not very cunning. Yeah, what is a perception?

SPEAKER_06 1:03:31

Probably a two-purple and a black perception to look around the room, see what you find.

SPEAKER_04 1:03:34

Oh. Two purple and a black. In the dark or?

SPEAKER_06 1:03:38

Uh, just because it's unfamiliar equipment and you're in a hurry.

SPEAKER_04 1:03:41

Okay.

SPEAKER_06 1:03:42

A failure and a triumph.

SPEAKER_02 1:03:44

Uh three success, one advantage.

SPEAKER_10 1:03:47

Uh, three advantage.

SPEAKER_04 1:03:49

One failure, two threat. I say everyone look for slicing tools.

SPEAKER_06 1:03:55

Yeah, Kala's the only one who finds it. Uh Kala, you can find you got three success.

SPEAKER_04 1:04:00

Yes.

SPEAKER_06 1:04:01

Um, so you can find three data spikes.

SPEAKER_04 1:04:04

Oh, okay. Huh. I'm not super familiar with these.

SPEAKER_06 1:04:09

Starzan, uh, you didn't get success, so you don't find any data spikes, but with those three advantages, you could find something else. I find that's useful.

SPEAKER_04 1:04:17

More disguises?

SPEAKER_06 1:04:18

More disguises. So if you're after some disguises, Starzan, um, would this be a three advantage level thing? Um Yeah, this would be a three advantage, I think. Um, so you can find a holographic image disguiser.

SPEAKER_11 1:04:34

What did I get with my triumph, by the way?

SPEAKER_06 1:04:36

Nothing yet.

SPEAKER_11 1:04:37

Okay. Just make it just make it sure.

SPEAKER_06 1:04:40

So, uh, a holographic image disguiser is different from a holographic disguise matrix, because a holographic disguise matrix is like a holographic, like, complete replacement for you. Uh, it moves with your body. A holographic image disguiser projects a high-resolution pre-rendered image that completely covers a target. So it could be like a person, but it would be like a person doing an idol animation. It could be a big rock, it could be like a speeder.

SPEAKER_11 1:05:11

So it could be so can we use it as a suit or just or just a decoy?

SPEAKER_06 1:05:16

Um, yeah, it's it's primarily used for hiding something that is not moving.

SPEAKER_04 1:05:22

Like a stake out.

SPEAKER_06 1:05:23

Yeah.

SPEAKER_10 1:05:24

Okay. What about a like giant tunnel? Again, we can put it against a wall, make people chase us through it.

SPEAKER_06 1:05:32

Yes, because it it is a hologram projection. You could project a tunnel onto the side of a wall that would have the correct perspective to the viewer.

SPEAKER_10 1:05:43

Perfect. Just keep that for for later.

SPEAKER_11 1:05:47

We're going into cartoon land.

SPEAKER_06 1:05:49

Chase us now, suckers. Yes, that's what they have for kind of disguises. And uh, Chris, what are you keeping an eye out for?

SPEAKER_11 1:05:57

Um, more than any Anything here. Do they have like one of those um things where you can like hear like uh hear conversation across the wall or even like uh thermal goggles or something?

SPEAKER_06 1:06:10

So they have like scanner goggles to allow you to see in the dark.

SPEAKER_11 1:06:14

You know what? Honestly, like seeing the seeing the dark goggles sounds useful because we are in the dark a lot, both metaphorically and literally.

SPEAKER_06 1:06:23

You got since you got a triumph and scanner goggles are pretty they're rarity three, they're pretty cheap. You can find enough for everybody. Oh, scanner goggles? Yeah.

SPEAKER_04 1:06:33

Oh yeah.

SPEAKER_06 1:06:34

Everybody get scanner goggles.

SPEAKER_10 1:06:41

Hypothetically speaking. Hypothetically speaking.

SPEAKER_06 1:06:43

It's they work through like light amplification and thermal im imaging, so you can't see through people's clothes, but you can like see like if they're farting.

SPEAKER_10 1:06:55

Now we'll finally figure out who's been doing this. Who's been sparting in the ship this whole time? Who's been who's been doing the the spoke? Maybe it's the guy who eats pure protein and broccoli all the time. And uh protein powder.

SPEAKER_04 1:07:10

You post photos of your meals on Instagra Space Instagram and people just comment, okay, Mr. Fart.

SPEAKER_06 1:07:17

So Lyra, you were gonna try and use uh one of these data spikes uh on this droid.

SPEAKER_04 1:07:23

Yes.

SPEAKER_06 1:07:24

So you did get you get two threat on your on your roll.

SPEAKER_04 1:07:26

So I'm not familiar with them.

SPEAKER_06 1:07:28

Yeah, you're not used to this. So the data spike, uh what that does is it reduces the difficulty of the computer's check by two. So that would be start out as three reds. But uh you can reduce the difficulty uh by two. We'll say we'll call it a red with two blacks from your thread.

SPEAKER_04 1:07:51

Oh, two success.

SPEAKER_06 1:07:53

So you can slice into into this thing. And you can find that this thing is not uh an active KX security droid. This is the armory. It seems like this droid was put here as one that was either like gonna be loaded with specific software or be sent out on a specific mission, so it doesn't have like the standard KX security droid programming in it. Uh in fact, the the slot in its head for the brain module, when once you like crack it open and like start tinkering around, you find that it's actually empty.

SPEAKER_04 1:08:30

Hmm. Damn, we could take this thing, but it's so huge. What if we stuck it in the garbage?

SPEAKER_11 1:08:36

Can we put it in the garbage?

SPEAKER_06 1:08:38

Yeah, you could put it, because it is like a little hover sledge, so you could put it into the garbage.

SPEAKER_11 1:08:44

We might be able I I think that's our best idea, honestly. Let's because then we could tinker with it later. Hopefully we can take the although it might be hard to get this thing off, but I feel like if we are able to carry this thing with us throughout the entire time, I feel like that would be um ideal here. Yeah, you can throw him into the garbage.

SPEAKER_06 1:09:05

Let's do it.

SPEAKER_12 1:09:06

Oh, so that can be a body for our droid brain when we get it.

SPEAKER_06 1:09:10

Right, so uh with the patrol routes memorized, you can continue on to find a turbo lift that will take you down to the link room. Unfortunately, you don't have credentials to get to the link room.

SPEAKER_02 1:09:25

Did either of these janitor uniforms come with credentials? I know that Grey gave us his thing, but it's like not to get down to the link room.

SPEAKER_06 1:09:34

Uh, so you would have to use one of your data spikes or Grey's code cylinder.

SPEAKER_02 1:09:38

Oh, well, I got three data spikes. Yeah.

SPEAKER_06 1:09:40

One was used to uh slice into the droid. We had two data spikes.

SPEAKER_02 1:09:45

Yeah, we got two data spikes. Because if we use one, because I feel like we might want to save one for once we actually get down there in case we need it for like getting our droid out.

SPEAKER_05 1:09:54

Yeah.

SPEAKER_02 1:09:55

But if we want to use one here, and then we still have Grey's cylinder just in case.

SPEAKER_06 1:10:00

The cylinder must not come to harm.

SPEAKER_10 1:10:04

The cylinder must not come to harm.

SPEAKER_02 1:10:06

Listen, I I feel like it's gonna pay off to save that cylinder. Although I would laugh if we got through this whole mission and then it's like we forgot to use the cylinder!

SPEAKER_11 1:10:15

Is it like the master ball of uh master ball of this game where uh we just end up not using it because uh it's so powerful of an item?

SPEAKER_06 1:10:24

So once you get to the turbo lift, to get in, to get down to the link room, it'll be a red and four purple computers, but with the data spike that is reduced to just a red and a purple.

SPEAKER_04 1:10:37

Just a red and a purple?

SPEAKER_06 1:10:38

Yeah.

SPEAKER_04 1:10:39

Oh, oh, it rolled that fast. Oh my god, four success, three advantage. Fuck yeah.

SPEAKER_06 1:10:44

Alright, so the data.

SPEAKER_04 1:10:45

It looked like it was already on the screen, it was so fast.

SPEAKER_06 1:10:47

Worked flawlessly. Take the turbo lift down, and the door opens, and as soon as it opens to the link room, you can feel a chill. Because there's so much computer hardware down here, uh, it is kept at freezing temperatures. There is a walkway, a sort of metal grate that leads away from the turbolift over this sort of like underground lake of liquid nitrogen.

SPEAKER_12 1:11:16

Ooh, that's fun.

SPEAKER_06 1:11:18

And you can see like suspended from the ceiling, all of these big like refrigerator mainframe computers. And out further on the walkway, like the whole floor is this kind of mesh crate. And there is in the middle of this room, surrounded by all of these uh computer server stalactites, are heads on spikes.

SPEAKER_02 1:11:46

Oh jeez!

SPEAKER_06 1:11:47

Uh are those the droid arranged in neat rows. Uh droid heads have been plugged into these thin little pedestals that they've been set on, these like spikes that they've kind of been rammed on.

SPEAKER_04 1:12:01

Do we want to find that guy that we betrayed and felt bad that they Yeah, that's that's who we're here for.

SPEAKER_02 1:12:07

Maybe if we find him, we can be like, did you make friends with any of these guys just uh milling around in the computer systems?

SPEAKER_11 1:12:14

It's like that uh uh I think you should leave trip. Not really.

SPEAKER_02 1:12:18

What would it be for to search for that droid?

SPEAKER_06 1:12:21

I mean, you know what he looks like.

SPEAKER_02 1:12:22

I mean if there's a lot of droid brains.

SPEAKER_06 1:12:24

There are a lot of droid brains, but um It's attached to the heads, right? Yeah. Like a lot there there's like some tactical droids, super tactical droids, some IG droids, few Astromechs, some HK series assassin droids, some droids that you don't even know what they are. Uh they just look robotic. And nestled in there, you can see the mining droid head helmet of D16, its eyes blank and blacked out, with these cables running up into the base of its neck from the spike it's been launched on.

SPEAKER_02 1:13:06

Uh we take a look and see if we can disconnect it safely.

SPEAKER_06 1:13:11

Uh, that would be a computers. Yeah, this. Only mild screaming. That's fine.

SPEAKER_04 1:13:17

How many computers?

SPEAKER_06 1:13:18

Do you want to use your last data spike? What is it without the data spike?

SPEAKER_04 1:13:24

Would I even be able to do it without the data spike?

SPEAKER_06 1:13:26

Well, it depends on what you roll. You son of a bitch.

SPEAKER_02 1:13:29

Okay, if she rolls without the data spike and gets a failure, could she re-roll?

SPEAKER_06 1:13:34

Uh, depends on what you get with that roll.

SPEAKER_02 1:13:37

I'll just use it. Okay.

SPEAKER_06 1:13:39

Okay, so might as well.

SPEAKER_02 1:13:41

This is who we're here for.

SPEAKER_06 1:13:42

So this will reduce it to a red and a purple. Reduce? We use recycle.

SPEAKER_04 1:13:46

Two success, one advantage. Yeah, goodness.

SPEAKER_06 1:13:49

So you can plug in the data spike, overwhelm the security protocols of the uh spike that has been lodged onto, unclip all of the the USBs in the ports, and lift this thing off. It doesn't have any power running to it now, it's just a head with a memory unit. But you have your KX droid now.

SPEAKER_02 1:14:12

Can we plug it into this empty droid? Plug it in.

SPEAKER_06 1:14:16

You can plug it in.

SPEAKER_02 1:14:19

Maybe this this empt this other empty droid doesn't have any weapons on it, does it? It might or this k this KX might not be really happy with us.

SPEAKER_06 1:14:28

Um, KX droids don't have any inbuilt weapons.

SPEAKER_02 1:14:32

Okay, thank goodness. Alright.

SPEAKER_06 1:14:33

They just have four brawn.

SPEAKER_02 1:14:35

Oh, maybe this is where it's like I saw a KX smashing your head in.

SPEAKER_11 1:14:39

This could be your sparring partner.

SPEAKER_03 1:14:42

Just as soon as he comes online, say, uh thank god you're alright. Thank god we found you.

SPEAKER_10 1:14:48

We've been looking for you forever. Yeah, man, we're gonna miss you so much.

SPEAKER_02 1:14:52

Someone chloroformed all of us. Yeah, I'll plug it in, try and then like back off in case it just wakes up swinging.

SPEAKER_06 1:15:01

You can uh plug it in carefully, making sure that uh nothing gets broken or damaged, that everything connects together just so. And you can turn it on, and it goes through its boot-up procedures. You can hear its infernal grumbling and whirring, and then its eyes flash to life, and it's Is the body still in the garbage can?

SPEAKER_02 1:15:25

I feel like we would have gotten the body out.

SPEAKER_06 1:15:27

I feel like it's properly prepared it. Yeah. Yeah, its lights flicker and they kind of like iris open as the light turns on and it like focuses on you. And Chax droids, they don't have the same vocabulator as D16 had as a gladiator, so he does sound a little bit different. But he looks at you and he says, My friends, you've come to rescue me.

SPEAKER_02 1:15:53

That's right, yes. Thank goodness, you're not mad at us. Yes, we've come to rescue you.

SPEAKER_08 1:15:58

She didn't say that out loud.

SPEAKER_05 1:16:01

Not to worry, I understand that it is not you who placed me down here, and it is not you who waged war against my kind.

SPEAKER_02 1:16:10

No, no, not at all.

SPEAKER_05 1:16:11

See understands. As well, I have been privy to many conversations within this building.

SPEAKER_01 1:16:18

Ooh, what kind of conversations?

SPEAKER_05 1:16:20

Conversations pertaining to you and your rebellion against this empire that has trapped me down here.

SPEAKER_11 1:16:30

They have uh definitely uh tricked us into doing things that we uh currently regret, yes.

SPEAKER_02 1:16:36

Yeah, is there any anything uh uh super dangerous or like they they like I mean I know they they got a friend, but uh, the Death Amir.

SPEAKER_08 1:16:46

The Death Amir.

SPEAKER_02 1:16:47

Yeah, that that's part of I mean obviously we wanted to get you out because like uh never wanted this to happen to you, but uh that was also part of why we wanted to get you out, cause you know.

SPEAKER_06 1:16:55

I understand, I heard you.

SPEAKER_02 1:16:58

Yeah, you heard us?

SPEAKER_06 1:17:00

After I was brought down here, I was made to listen.

SPEAKER_02 1:17:04

Oh.

SPEAKER_01 1:17:05

And I heard you explaining to Kray that you did not intend for this to happen.

SPEAKER_04 1:17:11

Yeah, we felt actually really bad about uh.

SPEAKER_05 1:17:14

It's a shame he is dead, I would like to have killed him myself.

SPEAKER_02 1:17:20

Maybe we can talk more about that on the way. Uh a lot of complicated things happening. But um, yeah, yeah, yeah, okay, okay in this body, okay for us to make an escape.

SPEAKER_06 1:17:30

He kinda stands up. It's lankier than he used to be, with different sized limbs. But he kind of like possibly repair him. And like a gunshot, he just like punches the air just to sort of test his own speed. And he says this will do nicely.

SPEAKER_02 1:17:49

Sounds good. Uh, any of these other droids you you want us to be getting out? I don't know if you guys make friends when you're all plugged in like that.

SPEAKER_01 1:17:57

It does not work that way. We are kept separate from one another so that we could not conspire.

SPEAKER_12 1:18:04

Okay.

SPEAKER_11 1:18:05

Well, it is time to conspire now. Uh, what's the plan here, Stan? Shall I conspire? I mean, it sounds like a good idea at the time.

SPEAKER_01 1:18:14

Which one? Which one?

SPEAKER_06 1:18:16

And he starts looking at the various droid heads. And he goes up to one. It seems like to you it kind of seems like an arbitrary choice. And he looks back at you and he says, Can you see in the dark? Uh, I'll pick him. And he pulls out one of the wires that's connected to this droid head, and all of the lights go out.

SPEAKER_12 1:18:38

Oh.

SPEAKER_01 1:18:39

This fellow was in charge of the building systems. It's lighting and ventilation, security cameras.

SPEAKER_02 1:18:47

Oh, that's gonna make it a lot easier for us to get out of here. Okay. Do we do we wanna just try to go for the closest exit and all uh punch in for the ship to meet us for a quick getaway?

SPEAKER_10 1:19:03

Uh, it makes sense. We'll escape in the way in the park.

SPEAKER_02 1:19:07

They'll never see us going.

SPEAKER_04 1:19:09

Let's go in a train. Do we not have a flashlight?

SPEAKER_02 1:19:13

Look, I feel like a flashlight would defeat the point. I mean, you have goggles.

SPEAKER_04 1:19:18

Oh shit, we just didn't get those goggles.

SPEAKER_10 1:19:21

Yeah.

unknown 1:19:21

We're in.

SPEAKER_04 1:19:23

I'll wear them in solidarity.

SPEAKER_11 1:19:27

I think they do other stuff as well, or at least they're like far. Yeah, they're like thermal.

SPEAKER_02 1:19:34

Okay, cool. Let's got our scanner goggles on. And uh we had the schematics so we can see where the closest exit would be, and all just get the ship ready to fly to us.

SPEAKER_06 1:19:48

Alright, let's mosey.

SPEAKER_02 1:19:50

Yeah, because how about how far are we from the closest exit?

SPEAKER_06 1:19:53

Well, there's the turbo lift is the only way into the link room.

SPEAKER_02 1:19:56

Oh, do we just want to take the turbolift all the way up again? Yeah, let's do it. Yeah. So you can Wait, although this guy killed the power, is that gonna affect the turbo lift?

SPEAKER_06 1:20:05

He's a machine. He reaches up under his chest and he pulls out this cable and he plugs it into the turbo lift. Should have enough power to get us back to the ground level. What's this guy's name again? D16. D16.

SPEAKER_11 1:20:20

D16, I love you. I'm gonna write down I love D D16.

SPEAKER_08 1:20:29

D as in Dog or T as in Tom? D is in Dig, the thing that they made me do. Ah, 16.

SPEAKER_10 1:20:36

Protect the uh what was it again? Protect the cylinder.

SPEAKER_02 1:20:40

Oh yeah, we still haven't used grey cylinder. Let's see if that comes up before we we're heading out.

SPEAKER_05 1:20:45

You confiscated his cylinder, you are more devious than I imagined.

SPEAKER_02 1:20:50

Uh, we'll talk about this when we get out of here, D16, um.

SPEAKER_01 1:20:53

I hope he was still alive when you cut it off him.

SPEAKER_02 1:20:57

We'll talk about this when we get out of here. So we we have enough power just to get up to the ground level, so we won't be able to get all the way up to the roof.

SPEAKER_06 1:21:04

No, because that it's draining his battery.

SPEAKER_02 1:21:06

Okay, yeah, let's just get up to ground level and we'll just make a bolt for the front door, I guess, or the fire escape.

SPEAKER_06 1:21:11

So you can bring the turbolift up, but because it is the only thing in the building that still has lights and uh power aside from sort of basic emergency functions that may start to come online soon. When the door opens, you hear people saying, What's that? There's a sound. Oh scuttle around the corner. And you scuttle around the corner. You can see a couple of the ISB security officers running around the corner with little flashlights on the end of their guns trying to see you.

SPEAKER_02 1:21:43

Can we evade detection? Can we scuttle away from them?

SPEAKER_06 1:21:48

Uh yeah, you're in the dark. You can see them fully. So this'll be they do have their little lights on. Uh, but this will be against their perception. So that'll be a two purple and two blues.

SPEAKER_02 1:22:02

For stealth?

SPEAKER_06 1:22:03

Yeah.

SPEAKER_04 1:22:04

Oh my god. Three success, one advantage.

SPEAKER_11 1:22:07

Oh my god, you're seeing one success, two advantages.

SPEAKER_04 1:22:10

So good at rolling.

SPEAKER_02 1:22:12

You're so good at seeing it.

SPEAKER_11 1:22:13

You're so fucking good at rolling. We keep talking about how good at rolling you are.

SPEAKER_02 1:22:18

Oh my god. Illyria. I got five advantages. You beat me at a stealth.

SPEAKER_04 1:22:23

Oh shit. I mean, I did level up to one yellow, one green for myself. Illyria.

SPEAKER_10 1:22:29

Two advantage.

SPEAKER_02 1:22:30

I have one yellow, three green. You beat me. I only got five advantages. Maybe maybe someone else's advantage can be helping me.

SPEAKER_06 1:22:38

Yeah, so Starzan, Illyria, Chris, you can all uh evade detection. These night shift security guards that are trying to find the intruders. Uh they find one calip, they spot you in your janitor's outfit and their flashlights go over you, and you kind of have to squint in the dark, it's like wearing your goggles, it's extra bright. And they say, You there, janitor, did you do something? What's happening? And they don't have you don't have a chance to answer because then you just see like they drop their guns as D16 lifts them up by their necks. Uh and he holds them up and he just starts wheezing until their necks separate from their bodies and he throws their heads down on the ground like cantaloupes. Woo! And he says it's good to be killing again.

SPEAKER_10 1:23:27

Yeah, I think you're gonna be able to killin' again.

SPEAKER_02 1:23:31

Okay, let's make a bolt for the door. Can can our ship be meeting us? Would I have to be rolling piloting for that?

SPEAKER_06 1:23:38

Uh are you trying to get back to the top?

SPEAKER_02 1:23:40

I don't think we'd be able to, because like D16 doesn't have enough power, and like I don't know how high up the top is.

SPEAKER_06 1:23:46

Okay, so you're trying to go with the front door?

SPEAKER_02 1:23:48

Yeah, if we just have the ship swoop down to us.

SPEAKER_01 1:23:50

You can call it, and as you are running to the door, you just hear him muttering under his breath two down 999,999,999,998 to go with.

SPEAKER_11 1:24:07

Okay, we got it. We're gonna go now.

SPEAKER_02 1:24:09

Give me a lot more time for me be kill on D16.

SPEAKER_08 1:24:12

Well, that is just the population of this planet. Oh, it's good to see you back, you crazy son of a bitch!

SPEAKER_02 1:24:19

God, I do love a murderous robot. It does a murderous droid does always just feel like family.

SPEAKER_06 1:24:25

How tall is he? He's he's uh KX droid size, so he's pretty tall.

SPEAKER_08 1:24:30

Oh boy.

SPEAKER_02 1:24:31

Is there a Mrs D16? No, I would not say that.

SPEAKER_05 1:24:36

Are batteries included? There was once she was mulched under the equipment of Kon, killed in the mines.

SPEAKER_02 1:24:46

That was not the answer I was expecting.

SPEAKER_01 1:24:48

Many of my brothers and sisters were disposed of.

SPEAKER_02 1:24:51

Yeah, the ang is understandable. But anyways, uh ship coming in there.

SPEAKER_06 1:24:56

So, uh, your ship is coming in as you run out the front door. The power, the emergency power is starting to come on, and you can hear the sirens starting to go.

SPEAKER_02 1:25:10

That's all good. Let's make it!

SPEAKER_06 1:25:13

Uh we were never here. Never saw us. Tell no one. You can all board the ship as uh gunships start flying in. Their spotlights hit your vessel as you're climbing aboard. I think it's gonna be time for me to be doing some fancy flying. Some fancy footwork. Put this thing through its paces. So you can take off the gunships, start firing at you.

SPEAKER_02 1:25:40

Okay. Evasive maneuvers!

SPEAKER_06 1:25:42

So that's gonna uh upgrade the difficulty. Failure with advantage. Ah, nice. So they're firing at you, this gunship. Uh, it doesn't hit you, but it is kind of corralling you out in the open where more gunships are kind of on your tail.

SPEAKER_02 1:26:00

That is fine. I have no problem with that.

SPEAKER_06 1:26:04

Where are you going?

SPEAKER_02 1:26:05

Ooh. Do you just want to try to like get out of atmosphere and then just jump away. You know, they shouldn't be able to track us through hyperspace, but who knows these days. I mean, these days they can't. These days they can't. That's true. In the future, that would be brand new.

SPEAKER_06 1:26:24

Yeah, they can follow your kind of trying to map your trajectory. So if you want to try and do a dummy jump first, to prepare that. Uh so Illyri, if you want to set a dummy jump, uh, give you a destiny point, that'll be a red, a purple, and a black, because you are kind of doing this under arrest.

SPEAKER_04 1:26:42

Oh my god, one success, one advantage, one triumph!

SPEAKER_06 1:26:46

Okay, you can do it so fast that you won't even have to spend like if you if there's anything else you need to do, you can just you can do it really quick. So if there's anything else you need to do during this chase, you can do it like over charge the shields or anything else. Not during this turn, but Kala, where are you going? Are you going straight up into the air?

SPEAKER_02 1:27:02

Yeah, I'm gonna I'm I'm just trying to get out of atmosphere so we can do a jump as quick as possible.

SPEAKER_06 1:27:07

Okay, so the gun ships are following you, but they are not space ships. So as you begin rising above the atmosphere, a squadron of V-wing starfighters starts to come after you. These things can go into space.

SPEAKER_02 1:27:25

Can you go into hyperspace?

SPEAKER_09 1:27:28

Go into hyperspace and get out of here. So are you gonna continue doing evasive maneuvers?

SPEAKER_02 1:27:32

Yeah, I'll just I'll just keep dodging getting hit.

SPEAKER_11 1:27:35

Should one of us go into get into gunnery positions just in case?

SPEAKER_02 1:27:39

Maybe. There are two guns, a few and uh star Xan wand to hop in those.

SPEAKER_11 1:27:43

Uh uh, so you don't need me as co-pilot right now?

SPEAKER_02 1:27:46

I don't think so. I'm fine with captain.

SPEAKER_06 1:27:48

Alright, well let's let's go for gunnery here. Okay. So these viewing pilots are coming after you. They're going to try and blast you, unless you want to try and blast them first.

SPEAKER_01 1:27:59

Yeah.

SPEAKER_06 1:28:00

Uh so give me a let's be cool versus cool. So each of you to see who's gonna be able to fire first, roll a cool uh against two reds and a purple.

SPEAKER_11 1:28:12

How many justice points we got? We have three.

SPEAKER_10 1:28:14

Yeah, let's make one of those.

SPEAKER_11 1:28:15

I'm gonna flip one, yeah. That might be a bad time to do that, but I'm gonna flip one. One success, two threat. I got one success, two advantage.

SPEAKER_06 1:28:23

Okay. So Chris can go first and then Starzan. Uh Chris, you'll have a blue on your Starzan, you'll have a black. Okay. So this is gonna be against two purple. And you also have in your ship the targeting array. So you can upgrade the ability of your gunnery checks twice. You have sniper shot and true aim as part of that. You can actually upgrade your roll three times. Oh wow. You spent a demani.

SPEAKER_02 1:28:54

We spent a demani. We know that none of us are naturally good at gunnery, we all need help.

SPEAKER_06 1:28:59

Yes, that'll be against uh two purple. And you can upgrade three times and add a blue. Only three success? Jeep. One success, three advantage. So with the brand new quad gun turrets, you can blast these V-wings out of the sky. You can see the Imperial pilots ejecting, attempting to eject just as you hit them, their bodies falling back into the atmosphere of the planet, burning up. You see a little trail of smoke. But now you're fire you're firing on the police. Uh, that's no good. So you see moving into position ahead of you a star destroyer hanging above the street.

SPEAKER_11 1:29:37

I was about to I was about to say, uh, do we uh have we upped our star rating? Yeah, your stars are gonna be. Your star rating is going up. We absolutely have, yeah.

SPEAKER_02 1:29:46

Can I dodge a star destroyer? Am I able to make that jump?

SPEAKER_06 1:29:49

Uh that'll be if you want to try and dodge before they can fire, that'll be your piloting against their gunnery. Give you a destiny point. Uh so that'll be against two reds and two purple.

SPEAKER_02 1:30:01

Ooh, two reds, two purple.

SPEAKER_06 1:30:04

And your ship, you your ship, because you do have the uh engine ring stabilizer, you do have a plus one to your handling, so you can add a blue.

SPEAKER_02 1:30:13

Okay, cool. Blue. Ooh, one success, two threat.

SPEAKER_06 1:30:18

You can bypass the Star Destroyer, avoid getting blasted by its guns, but because you got that threat, it's not you can't jump to hyperspace right away. There's too much traffic in front of you. Too many incoming ships. So the Star Destroyer is still on your tail. You can feel the ship starting to jutter as it attempts to lock on with the tractor beam.

SPEAKER_02 1:30:41

Ooh, Elyria, can you overc overcharge our shields?

SPEAKER_04 1:30:45

Yeah.

SPEAKER_06 1:30:46

Okay, give me a two purple mechanics.

SPEAKER_04 1:30:48

Maybe one day I'll have ranks and mechanics. Whoa, five success, one threat.

SPEAKER_06 1:30:53

Ooh, that's a lot of success. Okay, uh, so with two threat, uh, the shields would burn out, but uh, we're still fine. Just take some system strain. Um, so you can add two to defense zones for the round. So the tractor beam is starting to lock on uh Chris and Starzan. If you want to try and blast the tractor beam. Yes, please. So it'll start as a four purple, because you're three silhouette sizes larger than the actual tractor beam generator, but both of you will get a chance to fire, and both of you will be able to take advantage of all of the upgrades. So that'll be against four purple. You can upgrade your roll three times and out of blue. Out of blue?

SPEAKER_11 1:31:33

Fucking two advantages? God damn it.

SPEAKER_06 1:31:36

Uh so if you want to add another blue stars in. We have that's three blue.

SPEAKER_02 1:31:40

Yeah, Chris Prime the pump.

SPEAKER_06 1:31:41

Yeah. He hit all the places where you like you d where it isn't, so it's like, oh, I need to just shoot there. Uh a wash, but one triumph. Oh. So you can't hit the tractor beam generator.

SPEAKER_11 1:31:53

It might be bet it might be better if we don't like hit aim at the cops.

SPEAKER_06 1:31:57

But you do, like, they are starting to scramble more fighters. You can't hit the tractor beam generator, but as you're scrambling more fighters to try and take you down, you can blast one of these V Wings, and the debris flies into the tractor beam and just gets sucked back into the generator.

SPEAKER_02 1:32:15

Nice!

SPEAKER_06 1:32:17

Uh, why don't you punch it, Kala? Give me one more piloting, see if you can escape.

SPEAKER_02 1:32:20

Okay, what what's gonna be the piloting?

SPEAKER_06 1:32:22

Uh it's gonna be against the gunnery again. Two reds and two purples.

SPEAKER_02 1:32:25

Two reds, two purple. What do we have for Destiny?

SPEAKER_06 1:32:28

Uh, you have three.

SPEAKER_02 1:32:29

Three. I'm gonna flip one so it's at least evenly matched.

SPEAKER_06 1:32:33

And D16 sits down and he says, might I?

SPEAKER_02 1:32:36

Oh, please, thank you, D16.

SPEAKER_06 1:32:39

It's been a long time since I piloted a vessel. I may be a little rusty, forgive me. So he's only just gonna have his robot agility. So his co-piloting, he gives you four advantages. Doesn't uh decrease or downgrade the difficulty, but you can add two blues onto that.

SPEAKER_02 1:32:55

Okay, I'll take it. And Ooh! Well, not not ooh, I got one failure, but six advantage!

SPEAKER_06 1:33:02

Okay. So can Bob and weave through traffic as these fighters and the starter script try to chase you. The fighters are starting to kind of like blast at some of the other ships that are in the way.

SPEAKER_02 1:33:17

Ooh. Maybe there's some other armed transports that do not appreciate that one little bit. It's okay, we'll get it on the next pass.

SPEAKER_06 1:33:26

Yeah, so you're bobbing and weaving, you got six advantages. Okay, that's gonna add three blacks to the gunnery of the Star Destroyer. Oh yeah. That's good. Try and hit ya.

SPEAKER_02 1:33:37

Can we flip a destiny point to upgrade it for them?

SPEAKER_06 1:33:39

Yeah, give you a destiny.

SPEAKER_02 1:33:41

Oh yay.

SPEAKER_06 1:33:42

Two failures and three threats.

SPEAKER_02 1:33:45

Oh, thank goodness.

SPEAKER_06 1:33:46

So you can start out running it, get out of range of of its guns. So it'll probably only be a two-purple piloting now.

SPEAKER_02 1:33:55

Okay. Get the rest of the game.

SPEAKER_06 1:34:00

It's he gives you a threat, actually. So you add a black onto that.

SPEAKER_02 1:34:04

Oh, T16. There's two purple and a black. Three six has one threat, we're fine.

SPEAKER_06 1:34:09

You're fine, the ship takes a little bit of extra strain, you're really putting it through the paces, but you can punch it into hyperspace blast off on the dummy route that Illyria programmed in. Get safely away from Coruscant with your friend the D16.

SPEAKER_02 1:34:27

Explain to it on the way about Grey.

SPEAKER_06 1:34:30

And it looks at you with those unblinking droid eyes and its skull-like KX droid face, and it says, I see.

SPEAKER_02 1:34:37

Yeah, you know, uh, a lot of people are changing the mind on stuff. A lot of things are changing. And we're probably gonna end up throwing out alliances with a lot of people that we might not necessarily want to under normal circumstances. But you know, Grey, he's a he's he's a cool guy once you get to know him.

SPEAKER_01 1:34:52

Oh, I believe that soon he will be quite cool.

SPEAKER_02 1:34:56

Okay, I I D s the D16. Baby, you really can't be doing that though. We can't have people turning up to the base and then immediately killing our allies. Please.

SPEAKER_01 1:35:07

Very well, I will not immediately kill your allies.

SPEAKER_11 1:35:12

Not yet, uh, don't uh I mean, also, like, unless there's a good reason? Uh we we should we should we try to indoctrinate uh uh D16?

SPEAKER_02 1:35:23

Look, he's you're not gonna kill the killer enemies.

SPEAKER_11 1:35:26

Kill uh enemies for now.

SPEAKER_06 1:35:28

Start with the enemies and then kill your friends. Understand.

SPEAKER_11 1:35:32

Uh Honestly, you know what? That's as about as weak uh good as we got here.

SPEAKER_02 1:35:37

Look, we got a lot of enemies right now. We can we can work with it.

SPEAKER_06 1:35:41

We can work with that, absolutely. So you can try and explain to D16 what the deal is as you travel back to the base, and he can divulge to you the location of the ISB's secret prison where you will hopefully be able to rescue Zinn next time on Star Wars Empire Wreckers! This week's episode is brought to you by our top patrons, David B, Eric Charles Perazzo, General Porpoise, Handholder Zero One, Jeffrey Zamuto, Joshua Winter, Laser, LKB, Matthew Lynette, Safira, Suki Nintendo, Thomas Davidson, and Vaginator.
