(Mass Effect D20) Mass Effect WOLFPACK 2 - Episode 21: Wayward Ends

[01:00:02] Will it be on the wolf pack again?

[01:00:06] No, it'll be on a, uh, this is, this is the, uh, the, the bolus, like, leader, uh,

[01:00:10] like the, the bolus, um, uh, leaders. I, no, you're, you're, it'll be, uh, some, some

[01:00:15] bolus, uh, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, um, cross ship.

[01:00:20] Weird combination. Okay. Um.

[01:00:24] Yeah. I don't like, I mean, well, it's not just, it won't just be us battarians.

[01:00:27] It'll also be a couple of other species, but the, it's going to be a little bit more evenly

[01:00:31] distributed from what I've told of the bolus.

[01:00:33] So, uh, yeah. Um, do you accept?

[01:00:46] You can say no. I mean, I'll think less of you, you can say no.

[01:00:51] How dare you?

[01:00:52] She, she gives you, she gives you a very like, rise smile with all those teeth, the sharp,

[01:00:59] like, needle teeth.

[01:01:00] I mean, that's awesome shit out there that I kind of don't want to see again, but probably

[01:01:07] going to be seeing that at one point or another, regardless of what I do, even if I stay back here

[01:01:12] and just put my feet up and do whatever. And any ship going out there is going to need a

[01:01:18] medic of some kind, whether it's, um, field medic or medic on the ship and

[01:01:25] And this sort of thing, I guess, is sort of just what I do now. So.

[01:01:32] I mean, I mean, uh, the, the, the battalion colonies do have several, uh, hospitals that are always

[01:01:41] in need of, of expert, of expertise. I'm sure I could, I could convince, I could convince one

[01:01:46] of the hospitals to give you a cozy, uh, uh, higher up, uh, administrative role.

[01:01:52] There's like, low to minimal gunfire at hospitals, though.

[01:01:58] Have you, you've been to what I have, right? But you've been to an American hospital.

[01:02:07] I'm sorry, Adam. Sorry. I don't want to.

[01:02:12] Yeah, sorry, Dave, what you're saying? Basically, I don't want to retire is what I'm saying.

[01:02:17] I'm not not old yet. Okay. So you, I still got

[01:02:21] a lot of good years of me. I got a lot of, there's a lot of, uh, enemies out there that

[01:02:26] deserve a bullet through the head. So I'll do it while mending the bullets to the heads of my allies,

[01:02:33] so sure. I love your spirit there, honey. All right.

[01:02:38] Go on out there and find some paths. I will do that.

[01:02:42] Is that a slogan? Yeah. Director Tan gave it, uh, like, uh, it was the one I came up with.

[01:02:48] Of course it'd be him. Tan's in the room.

[01:02:54] Yeah. No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, it's hilarious. Yeah. No, it was everyone.

[01:02:58] I think it's fine. I also say that.

[01:03:04] Wow. Tan just like, like, looks like, it looks like deeply like hurt, but

[01:03:13] say you're, you, uh, you leave the other room and then a short time later,

[01:03:17] Hilo is, uh, is brought in. Um, so, um, the Korean, uh, the, the Korean, um, uh, what

[01:03:27] they call admiralty, uh, is, is there along with the, the Nexus group? Hilo, or, uh, Hilo Vos,

[01:03:36] uh, can we second that? Hilo Vos Wolf, uh, Hilo Vale, Vos Wolf Pack, Narkelepsy,

[01:03:44] for your services and accomplishments aboard the Wolf Pack and as Pathfinder for the Quarians.

[01:03:51] We've, we've heard some thing, we've heard, uh, some things down the grapevine that you would

[01:03:56] wish to pursue other ventures outside of pathfinding. So it is due to your, uh, to your service. Uh,

[01:04:08] we are, uh, if you would like to transfer the role of Pathfinder to pursue your

[01:04:13] other ventures, uh, and businesses, we would agree to this. Oh, thank the ancestors. Yes. Get me out of here.

[01:04:23] Uh, okay. And, uh, yeah. So yeah, the, uh, they will, uh, go through like, uh, that process in the

[01:04:29] next few days. Uh, and as you're leaving the room, uh, Arla kind of, um, uh, Arla comes by, um,

[01:04:38] and kind of intercepts you. And it's like, uh, so, so what did you go with there, Hilo?

[01:04:43] Uh, I have no longer the pathfinder. Oh my god, it's over.

[01:04:48] All right. Um, well, uh, good news. I'm no longer the

[01:04:54] Engarn pathfinder.

[01:04:56] Half a lot to do.

[01:04:59] Yeah, it's, it's a bit restricting to be the pathfinder strangely enough. Like,

[01:05:06] like, so I wanted to get out of that and also like, pursue some ventures with you.

[01:05:18] So, yeah.

[01:05:22] So yeah, you, yeah, she, Arla is joined. Uh, basically she's opting, she opted out of the, uh,

[01:05:27] the Engarn pathfinder ship to, uh, to be with you more.

[01:05:32] Don't can go that's sweet.

[01:05:37] Uh, so as you guys are leaving and we cut away to the next person in the chamber,

[01:05:43] in the, uh, the meeting chambers, uh, we see Leah.

[01:05:49] Young Leah Vos, or what's the name?

[01:05:55] Legibly. What, what, Leah Donna?

[01:05:58] Donna Voswapak, Narnia.

[01:06:01] Uh, Leah Donna Voswapak, Narnia. Um, we have

[01:06:09] senior, uh, senior reports and we have decided that it is time for you to take on the mantle

[01:06:19] of pathfinder for the quarians. If you think you're ready.

[01:06:29] He, he looks fine. He opted to, uh, transfer the role of pathfinder.

[01:06:37] Um, and that's when, uh, Leah, you hear the door open behind you.

[01:06:43] And you hear a very familiar voice.

[01:06:48] Of course she's ready.

[01:06:50] She is my daughter after all.

[01:06:52] And you turn and it is, uh, it is.

[01:06:58] Hello, it's, it's damn it, Aaron.

[01:07:06] Yeah. Uh, you turn and it is, it is your mother.

[01:07:11] Uh, run jump. I'm in her arms.

[01:07:14] D'aww. It's, it's, I'm so happy.

[01:07:17] I, I finally meet, I finally, I finally found you, honey.

[01:07:22] We're finally together again.

[01:07:25] It's okay, honey. We're, I'm going to be, uh, if you want to be this pathfinder,

[01:07:29] I will be, I will be on your side. This is the whole way.

[01:07:33] And the next, the next mission Leah's mother tragically dies.

[01:07:37] What? No.

[01:07:40] No. So yeah, she, yeah. So, uh, yeah, we fade away.

[01:07:43] We fade to black for that, for that, uh, scene as you like embrace your mom.

[01:07:47] I also, I assume that is Leah, is Leah going to be the pathfinder?

[01:07:50] Or is she? Yeah.

[01:07:53] Fuck you guys, I'm retiring too.

[01:07:57] Uh, next up we have Durga.

[01:08:01] So Durga, you are brought in, um, and Morda is there with cash and the other, uh, council members.

[01:08:10] Uh, well, Durga.

[01:08:13] Uh, seems that, uh, there's been a bit of a, we have, we, we happen to have a role for you now

[01:08:21] after the, uh, the badass, uh, actions that you've exhibited and in representing the krogan species.

[01:08:30] We'd like you to be the first kroganon void to the zyclot.

[01:08:36] Sweet. Also, if you will have this, we would like you, we would like to

[01:08:42] offer you the role of path of krogan pathfinder.

[01:08:46] Yes.

[01:08:49] All right. That's awesome.

[01:08:54] We've, uh, had to, uh, we've had to, uh, relink, revoke the pathfinder status to, uh, for Runt,

[01:09:04] and Runt is, as Runt is being currently taken care of at a, uh, at a medical facility that you will

[01:09:10] have to be heading towards yourself to, uh, to go through a series of checkups and tests, uh, given

[01:09:19] what has happened to you and, and him. But, uh, once you have been checked out of that, of, of Draco

[01:09:25] station, you can, uh, you can start heading off to the, uh, to the praxlon at rift to

[01:09:34] oversee relations between the krogan people and the zyclot.

[01:09:39] That sounds awesome.

[01:09:42] Good hunting.

[01:09:44] Uh, and with that, we cut away.

[01:09:48] Uh, we cut away to Crick.

[01:09:52] Oh.

[01:09:53] Hey.

[01:09:54] So, Crick, you, you come into the, into the chambers, uh, and you see the vortia, uh, leadership of the, the free governance.

[01:10:05] Um, you see the rest of the, the council, but you also see your, your, uh, your wife and, uh,

[01:10:12] a couple of strange looking rembots, or remnant bots that look, there are different

[01:10:20] configuration. They're almost like humanoid in a way.

[01:10:22] Yeah, or not quite humanoid. They're, they're more like, uh, like we're barrel, barrel shaped, uh,

[01:10:28] things. Um, but, uh, yeah, it's obviously, it's the authority in there.

[01:10:34] They're new customized, um, remnant bot vessels.

[01:10:37] Um, so, uh, hilo, uh, yeah, hilo.

[01:10:44] Uh, this is the, the vortia.

[01:10:46] Oh, shit.

[01:10:50] For your exemplary role and accomplishments out on the field in the recent missions on the wolf pack.

[01:10:58] And your, your representation, your, your beneficial representation of our people.

[01:11:03] And after consultation, we would, we recognize that a, a vortia of your experience

[01:11:14] would, uh, may, may, uh, may wish to transfer the role of Pathfinder to a, to a new, uh, vortia

[01:11:23] candidate. Let's say you. Yeah.

[01:11:28] It looks around for hilo. That was a dress earlier. Does not see hilo.

[01:11:34] Nope. You did say hilo, Chris.

[01:11:39] Wait, wait. Did I? Yeah.

[01:11:44] There's a lot of moving pieces, buddy. I did it a lot. It's, yeah, it's, it's been a lot.

[01:11:49] Uh, yeah. I make great. I'm in the scene. What?

[01:11:52] He, he even horns into my scene. Damn it.

[01:11:57] Damn it. Oh, yeah. Back on, back on the back on the back on the back on track.

[01:12:06] I'm very glad to hear you say that is much of an honor as it's been to represent our people.

[01:12:14] I feel that, uh, I would rather spend my, the remaining, you know,

[01:12:20] my remaining days with my family and perhaps as a teacher for other young vortia to, uh,

[01:12:29] take up the mantle. So, I mean, he just kind of, you know, settles up next to his wife and puts his

[01:12:36] arm or wife and kid and puts his arm around her and, um, just kind of, you know, pulls her in a

[01:12:43] little close since I, uh, I, I graciously accept. Excellent. Um, perhaps, uh, yeah. Uh,

[01:12:56] are you, are you familiar with a, uh, uh, we were, we were considering a, a vortia, uh, that you may

[01:13:03] have, you, you, you, you've, you've come, you've contacted in the past or you've had, you've had

[01:13:08] contact within the past. Um, a, a, uh, he was a, a vortia surveyor on several of the planets

[01:13:14] within the Hakeshtok system, uh, Pete, perhaps. Um, would you, would you be willing to vouch for

[01:13:20] him as the new Pathfinder for the vortia? Yeah. I feel that, uh, he, he exhibited a lot of, uh,

[01:13:31] the best of our race in the field. And yeah, I'd say this would be an excellent opportunity for

[01:13:40] both him and our relations in the galaxy to continue growing. Excellent. Yeah. Um,

[01:13:50] as, uh, as a retirement, um, uh, as a, as a, as a, uh, uh, as a, as a post-pathfinder position,

[01:14:01] um, we do have several, uh, opportunities for you among the new vortia-free governance on Hakeshtok,

[01:14:08] helping to transition the Asari aid to full vortia self-reliance and development programs.

[01:14:15] Do you accept? With honor. Yeah. Um, and as it seems like it's like, all right, that's, that's

[01:14:26] gonna be it. But then your, your wife actually kind of like moves away from you for a moment.

[01:14:31] And it's like, well, that's honey. So you were saying like, you're going to spend your

[01:14:38] last few days, last few years and, uh, like retiring. Well, I've been in contact with the

[01:14:46] Yathadi and with the Nexus is blessing. We are, we've been, we've been developing something. I,

[01:14:55] you know, I know, I know about your, um, your backup system. Um, they, the, the, the, the, the

[01:15:06] Yathadi have a program that has been greenlit by the Nexus. Um, it's pro, it's in the prototype

[01:15:13] stages right now. And this would be sort of a test to see if this is even viable. However,

[01:15:19] they could, uh, so she, the, the Yathadi kind of like behind her, uh, walk over into like, off to the

[01:15:27] side. And there's like a couple of like large containers that you weren't aware of, or you didn't

[01:15:33] really notice, they kind of just blended into the background of the chamber. They'll just spot

[01:15:37] check. Yeah. Yeah. Uh, and, uh, they, they moved them closer and like they're, they're, they're pretty

[01:15:42] big. Like they're, they're over your head. Um, and, uh, one of them is like more boxy and like,

[01:15:49] almost like a crate and the other ones, it's almost, it's like a, it's kind of like medical

[01:15:54] device or some kind of like medical tube. Um, but there's like a shielding over it. So, so dear, um,

[01:16:01] they've, they're, your, your mind has been, um, accustomed to transferring as with the Yathadi

[01:16:08] technology. What if you don't have to live out the rest of your days, like, live out the shortness

[01:16:15] of your, of your lifespan? What if you could see our daughter a little bit more long term?

[01:16:22] And that's when the crate is like, like a part of the crate is moved over and to reveal

[01:16:28] a, a remnant bot designed to look like a vortia. And then the medical device or the

[01:16:37] large medical container, uh, the shielding opens up to reveal a younger version of you in a tube.

[01:16:48] Uh, from, from what I understand, the, the, the vessel uses Angarren, uh, the, the, uh, the,

[01:16:53] the jardins, uh, template technology from the, the crown, the Yathadi's home station.

[01:17:00] Uh, this is a blank vortia body. Um, they, they're, they're offering you, uh, to, to test the,

[01:17:08] to prototype this, uh, this, uh, initiative to give the vortia a longer, uh, chance at life.

[01:17:19] He walks over like it's a car kicks a wheel. Looks good.

[01:17:22] Uh, but, uh, anal seriousness, uh, you know, kind of, uh, looks his wife kind of dumbfounded. It was

[01:17:36] always in his, uh, in the back of his mind. Uh, and it's always in the back of Adam's mind since

[01:17:42] he saw the blank, uh, uh, in season one when you all had the, the blanks that were filled up.

[01:17:49] I was like, well, that's where I kind of want to go with this, but, um,

[01:17:54] Um, so they, they, the, the, the Nexus is giving us funding for this, um, and like, allowed this,

[01:18:00] but, um, they, since you're the, gonna be the, if you, if you want to go with this route, um,

[01:18:08] you can either, like, they, they want, like, is there one that you'd want to try it first or primarily?

[01:18:15] So yeah, you're basically giving a choice, like, and like maybe down the road, like, if you want to

[01:18:19] switch out, you can, but like they're giving you like, which one would you want to try? Like, basically,

[01:18:23] I'm giving you a blue, green, red, and, uh, and, uh, yeah, yeah, you go organic or synthetic, uh, platform.

[01:18:36] If you, yeah.

[01:18:38] He could sex of, uh, you know, holding his wife's hands and holding his daughter's hand

[01:18:45] and, uh, holding his daughter in his fleshy hands, you know, and, you know, kind of, you know,

[01:18:53] also thinks about the, the synthetic bodies and all, and, like, there's no question. Yes, uh,

[01:19:03] if it will help me stay here just a little bit longer with you all,

[01:19:08] that would, uh, my dream come true. He just kind of, uh, just,

[01:19:14] I mean, honestly, just looking at this little girl too, just kind of pictured in his mind,

[01:19:19] uh, the, the images he dared not dream of her being bigger than she, you know, would possibly be

[01:19:26] when he was going to pass away and all that and just, um, you know, he kind of pulls himself

[01:19:33] from it and he's like, uh, yeah, I think I've got a few more, I got a little bit more mileage left

[01:19:39] in this one, but, uh, yeah, I'm definitely, uh, oh, excuse me, kilometers. I don't know what we

[01:19:45] use in the face. Uh, oh, honey, come on. Not those devil, not, not those devil mileage or the double

[01:19:52] units. Yes. Uh, but yeah. So, yeah, he embraces you and like, your daughter is like, like,

[01:20:05] very excited though. She doesn't quite understand why she just knows that you're excited and her mom's

[01:20:11] excited and so she's excited. Uh, she, she takes a look at the, at the, the other, um, at the, the

[01:20:18] vessels, uh, at the bat, the, and there, she's just like three daddies, three daddies.

[01:20:24] Uh, uh, uh, yeah, tune in this file, folks, for our new sick.

[01:20:32] My three dads. My three dads.

[01:20:34] He's a prick. The vortia.

[01:20:37] He's faced. Oh no, it's, it's three and a half. It's, it's, it's, uh, it's two and a half

[01:20:42] of the vortia. Two and a half lifetimes of vortia.

[01:20:47] Oh god. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

[01:20:52] Yeah. What did the crew got his legs taken off by, uh, uh, what's those big worm things

[01:20:57] from, uh, to Chunka?

[01:20:59] Retro Moss. Yeah, you know, so he's, he's got a little. Yeah. That's a half.

[01:21:05] Oh, yes. Okay. So yeah, uh, now that we've ruined the entire mood of the ending.

[01:21:12] But, I mean, uh, he just, um, you know, they could think of his family and also think of the

[01:21:18] possibility of, um, mentorship, uh, to, to other vortia. I keep, you know,

[01:21:29] you know, just hoping to jumpstart everything.

[01:21:31] So, uh, he kind of surprised, you know, that the nexus is, uh, embracing this. He

[01:21:38] thought this was something he was going to have to be on a, on a side.

[01:21:41] Well, yeah. What you find out is like they are willing to give this a preliminary run

[01:21:47] to see how it works. It's going to be, there's going to be talks about this and like,

[01:21:52] arguments about this in the Helius community for decades, um, about like the ethics of it,

[01:21:59] or like the, uh, but also like the equality, like, like what does it mean for this kind of

[01:22:04] situation, but like they are willing to, um, but they're willing to give this a shot, uh,

[01:22:12] like, especially since like the authority brought it up and like they've been kind of,

[01:22:15] and like you've kind of been endorsing it. So as, as the pathfinder, as the vortia pathfinder. So

[01:22:21] like, yeah, there, there's been a push and a movement for this kind of thing. So,

[01:22:26] it's, it's, it's the footst, it's the first steps of like potentially some,

[01:22:31] some bigger trans humanity projects or some, um, I guess some, uh, whatever that is for like

[01:22:38] non, non human. All the species. Yeah. Um, but, uh, yeah, um, we then cut away.

[01:22:48] You did ask him if he was going to go with the, um, oh, yeah, the robotic or the organic body first.

[01:22:57] We didn't actually get it. I don't think he actually, yeah. Did you give it like an answer on that?

[01:23:01] Yeah. I'm, I'm going organic, but in the back of my head, I know that there's always a digital

[01:23:06] copy of me that, you know, shit, his shit hits a fan, you know, I will keep, I will keep going on.

[01:23:14] I'm not going to just call that out and just go, well, I like your plan, but I want more tune in next

[01:23:20] campaign when we have robo vortia. Stop. Stop. Stop. Yeah. Uh, I'm sorry. It's just so fun.

[01:23:36] That holy, um, okay. So I also felt like you were introducing it like a game show, like a new car.

[01:23:45] I figured as much hence the price.

[01:23:47] No, no, no, no, no, no. Yeah. Damn it. That wasn't the intent, but okay.

[01:23:54] We're going to play Plinko now. All right. We're going to keep going.

[01:23:57] All right. Yeah. We fade away from, uh, from, uh, from Crick's, uh, briefing to Tommy who, um,

[01:24:06] I'm in the brain after, no, after, after a bit of a, a bit of a, uh, a snafu, like with the security

[01:24:13] or group and stuff, you are brought back into the same room. Um, there's a kinetic barrier still

[01:24:18] erected between you and the council, but, um, actually on the other side of that with you is

[01:24:23] candros. Um, and, uh, he, uh, he walks up to you. It's like, uh, Tommy. It's, uh,

[01:24:35] been a bit of a journey for you from what I've here.

[01:24:41] We are the council based on, based on the report that, uh, of, of your, your oversight,

[01:24:48] of the oversight agent, uh, Hunter and my recommendation, we're willing to give you a,

[01:24:57] the leadership role of an, of your own apex team.

[01:25:03] Do you accept this? I'll think about it. Uh, very well. Um,

[01:25:12] and as the, as the, the, basically that's it, like they had the meeting kind of like adjourns. However,

[01:25:17] candros stays there as everybody else, like kind of like departs to like, uh, and like, kind of gives

[01:25:21] you guys the room and then like the light, kind of like the, uh, um, uh, candros check something on his

[01:25:28] omni tool. It's like making sure that the, uh, uh, sorry, I have to make sure nobody's listening

[01:25:34] uh, sorry, I have to make sure nobody's listening in on this.

[01:25:38] Tommy, um, based on what you, what you've, uh, you, you, in your report, you said that you,

[01:25:46] you obtained, uh, Intel on this, this, this, these cells, uh, these like Neo server cells,

[01:25:52] the elusive nights. Yeah, I have is, is, uh, this flat, is ocular flash bang right here.

[01:25:59] All right. As I'm just talking to get in my hand. Yeah. Well, so publicly, you're getting your own

[01:26:08] Apex team. Covertly, I have an actual, uh, I have my own mission I'd like to give you.

[01:26:18] To hunt down these bastards. And I will give you what resources I can with the security team.

[01:26:25] And you will be able to go out into the Helios cluster and I want all of these Neo servers bastards

[01:26:33] taken down. I'm going to take my hand. I'm going to look at the wall. I'm going to shoot the remaining

[01:26:38] nerf stuff in my head. Okay. Be upset that none of them stuck to the wall and go.

[01:26:46] Okay. I do it. Okay. Um, very well. Welcome to Hades team. And that's where we'll cut Tommy's.

[01:26:58] I just, I just feel sad that I couldn't cloak it to the other room because I really wanted to

[01:27:02] give Hunter a wet Willie. No, no, um, speaking of Hunter, Theo, you are brought in, uh,

[01:27:17] there is no other council members except for tan lucky you.

[01:27:22] And several 38 and several several armed security agents.

[01:27:27] I can take them. I'm not worried about it. No, no, no. Uh, do I need my dice? Do I need my

[01:27:31] thinner? No, you don't know. Fuck you. I'm not giving you the chance.

[01:27:37] Not going to be the chance with that unholy monster. Um, uh, agent Theo. Very good work.

[01:27:46] Uh, uh, with dealing with, uh, adversity and, uh, the, the trials that we have given you.

[01:27:54] Thanks. As, as a result, of course, um, at the beginning of this mission, these missions,

[01:28:02] you, you and I had made made a deal. We did. So I assume you are wanting to retire as an oversight

[01:28:10] officer for the nexus and specifically the wolf pack. Oh, yes. Very well. Um, and he, uh,

[01:28:17] trans, he hits a button on his, uh, his omni tool. Uh, and then you get a ping on your omni tool. Do you

[01:28:23] look at it? Yes. Okay. Uh, for the rest of your life or for the rest of your, um, yeah. So from,

[01:28:33] from this day, from this, this point forward, uh, Theo will be getting 20,000 credits a month.

[01:28:39] Uh, as part of your retirement plan. And, um, Tan then, then speaks up, it's like, that's our,

[01:28:50] the, that will be the, the retirement, uh, fund that we will be offering you and just let me know

[01:28:56] what planet you would like to retire to. And I will. Oh, no. Oh, planet. You're so funny.

[01:29:08] I'm going to need, uh, luxury space yacht. That's the engines of the wolf pack fire up.

[01:29:15] Well, actually, that's when you hear the door behind you open.

[01:29:25] Um, okay. And do you turn around? Yes. Okay. Uh, you see, uh, you hear as, as you're turning,

[01:29:35] it's like, well, she's not much of a space yacht, but how about a, uh, krogan human frigate?

[01:29:44] Uh, and it is, it is Punisher, the owner of the, of the wolf pack, the new owner of the wolf pack.

[01:29:53] I mean, the ship's not the wolf pack from out from under me.

[01:29:58] I need a pile. I'm the pilot man, but I could use a captain.

[01:30:05] Yeah. I am the captain now, and I'll put on my tricorn.

[01:30:10] All right. You have that with you the whole time.

[01:30:13] Just holding it behind his back ready to go.

[01:30:16] Or it's Omni. Yeah. It's, uh, it's, uh, it's, uh, it's not corn.

[01:30:27] So as, as you, as this scene fades, uh, with Punisher smiling at you, uh,

[01:30:33] and you, you, with your, your tricord hat and, and director tan, just looking

[01:30:38] befuddled and flummoxed. Um, we, we cut, we fade away and then fade to, uh, the, the bar on the

[01:30:46] nexus where you guys have all ended up for one last drink as the, the pathfinders and, and crew of

[01:30:54] the wolf pack. So everyone is there. Um, well, except for run.

[01:30:59] Uh, we, we, let's host them.

[01:31:02] But even still, yeah, uh,

[01:31:05] Tommy marks about to put space hip.

[01:31:08] Punisher is there, Stelly's there and like the, and, uh, even the zyquat, uh,

[01:31:13] Hank's is there trying the, trying, trying some bruise from that one chemist.

[01:31:18] That's up the, that's also the part.

[01:31:19] A lot of weird like side eyes from all the, the people there, because there's a weird

[01:31:23] new alien there and they don't know if he's safer or not.

[01:31:29] Exactly. Uh, there's music in the background. There's some karaoke going on.

[01:31:34] Um, so yeah, um, anything you guys want to say to each other as, uh, one last, uh, as you guys

[01:31:40] have one last drink with each other?

[01:31:45] I was hoping it was going to be complete silence.

[01:31:49] Everyone just sitting there just quietly just sipping and just not saying anything.

[01:31:54] Punisher, Punisher then speaks up. It's like, um, so, um, what's, where's everybody else going

[01:32:01] now? What, what, what did the council have to say about you guys?

[01:32:05] Well, they offer me more work as Olca says, but that's good because, uh, I'd rather work

[01:32:14] out in the field than get shipped out to a hospital.

[01:32:18] Fair. Fair. Fair.

[01:32:21] Heard to hear. So who got fired?

[01:32:23] Heard to hear folks. Olca doesn't think working in hospitals work.

[01:32:28] Steli, Steli actually pipes up. Um, I believe Runt got fired.

[01:32:37] This one will be his doctor at a, at a facility, uh, at an undisclosed facility.

[01:32:45] Um, I will be taking, uh, this one will be taking care of that one.

[01:32:50] To ensure he just, we could just throw him into space if you don't want to take care of him.

[01:32:57] No. She slaps you. With a tentacle.

[01:33:07] We'll be sure to keep us posted on that one needs to be taken care of.

[01:33:10] We're sure to keep us posted on, uh,

[01:33:12] if no one else cares.

[01:33:16] This one will keep this, this one will keep this one updated on the situation.

[01:33:25] Unfortunately, this one cannot delve too deeply into the location. Uh, the

[01:33:34] higher ups are keeping it kind of hush.

[01:33:36] Yeah, it's understandable. It's experimental and hazardous considering this situation, right?

[01:33:44] Yes. From what I have, from what this one has found out, it is, it was recently commissioned

[01:33:51] and to study anomalous, um, uh, or anomalous, uh, circumstances. Um, so you guys can see

[01:34:02] it with that as you will. Um, it's basically at the SCP foundation now.

[01:34:10] Uh, Punish are just like, well, here's to, to run.

[01:34:16] May, uh, to his health. I mean, you seem pretty healthy when he was out in the boat last time.

[01:34:22] But yeah. Yeah, and then he, and then he just passed out again.

[01:34:26] He's real good at doing that, at least as of late.

[01:34:29] He is. Yeah. Oh, God, is anybody told his boyfriend about this situation?

[01:34:36] What was his name? Right.

[01:34:38] Taronias. Um, yeah, yeah. Taronias, I think. Taronias.

[01:34:44] Yeah. I mean, he's there a time right now. He's okay, right? Like, yeah, he's.

[01:34:48] Well, he's a racist. No, that was, uh, his brother.

[01:34:53] Right. It was his brother. Yeah.

[01:34:55] He was a striker's brother.

[01:34:56] Oh, yeah.

[01:34:58] Not that run like basically intimidated him into a friendship, I believe.

[01:35:05] And into it. Yeah, basically. Yeah. Yeah.

[01:35:09] Yeah, then he took him out on it. Yeah. To the concert. Yep.

[01:35:15] Oh, wow.

[01:35:18] Had some good times on the, on the, on the wolf pack, haven't we?

[01:35:21] Yeah. Dream just a year ago.

[01:35:23] Yeah.

[01:35:25] Best. I mean, that, that is kind of weird, but do I ever tell you all about the time that I, uh,

[01:35:31] that I sprayed a dude with, uh, with bull semen and then we became friends?

[01:35:37] All four eyes bling. No. Merck's head just jumps to the left a little bit.

[01:35:43] The music in the bar stops, like abruptly, like a, and credit credit credit.

[01:35:56] Okay. If you guys want, that's how we can end it.

[01:36:03] Yeah, that's going to be the spot. Um, so that's, that's how like, like, that's basic setup.

[01:36:09] So where do you guys want your characters to end up afterward this?

[01:36:14] Like, where do you guys see you guys sell your character going, like in the next few years,

[01:36:18] starting at the top with, uh, with Adam, Adam, this time, I'm saving Aaron.

[01:36:22] I'm saving Aaron for the last because there's something I have special for Aaron.

[01:36:25] Oh, okay. So the credit.

[01:36:30] So yeah, where, where, what happens to Crick, uh, in, in, like the years that come after this

[01:36:35] game? Okay. Well, I mean, in the years to come, he, you know, goes back to, uh, uh, like, was it

[01:36:44] Hawk Hash Talk or whatever? What was the call to you? Yeah.

[01:36:46] Hawk Hash Talk is the name of the new, uh, vorture planet. Um, you know, where it spins to like,

[01:36:53] honestly, like, I have what I was a 13. Yeah, I think you were about 13, 14-ish.

[01:37:00] So, like, yeah. So, you know, like at best, I'm kind of, uh, getting close to not being seen now.

[01:37:07] And that, I mean, not, you know, frail, but I mean, he's much freer as time goes on and just trying to

[01:37:14] get as much life out of it. There's, uh, he's, he's taken up. Well, he's retired a source. He still

[01:37:24] is active in the vorture community. And, uh, he, you know, he had quite quit working, you know,

[01:37:32] like, like anyone else who retires, he had to have something to kind of piddle with along with his

[01:37:36] family. But, uh, as the, as the years go by, very, these few years go by, he starts noticing, um, his

[01:37:45] degradation. And, um, I think he's still holding on to his old body. Um, but I mean,

[01:37:55] he's begun the process. He, I mean, he's, he just can't do what he used to do. And, um,

[01:38:04] it's added to kind of a, um, I don't know if I'd say like a sense of urgency, but, um,

[01:38:10] um, he is, yeah, he's, um, looking every day, like thinking about, you know, jumping to gun and

[01:38:18] going ahead and just transferring over right now, but he just, it's hard to part with. And there's

[01:38:26] this, this unknown thing. But I think the, um, the kicker of it all is, uh, his daughter's still

[01:38:36] young. And when he stops being able to play with her, like he used to and do all the other stuff,

[01:38:43] he would like to, with her, his wife's been very understanding. But, um, I think, uh, we'll end

[01:38:49] it with him. He's getting ready to transition over to his new body. And, um, yeah, he doesn't really

[01:38:58] talk about it much with the, I don't know how much common knowledge it all is. Like, like,

[01:39:03] why do I get an extended life for everybody else? Doesn't kind of thing like that. Like,

[01:39:08] there's this guilt along with it, but at the same time, uh, self interest and the,

[01:39:15] the thing that drove him in the first place to pursue this dream. Um, I mean, he'll, he'll go ahead,

[01:39:22] he'll go ahead. He'll like, he may be a villain at some point, not like an actual, like, villain,

[01:39:29] you know, but he may be, um, demonized. Uh, he's even considered the aspect. If not a lot of people

[01:39:37] knew it, um, leaving with his body and sorting again elsewhere, uh, unknown. But I mean, so that,

[01:39:46] that's kind of the questions that he, he, we end with. Okay. Yeah, it, it definitely, again, like,

[01:39:52] in the, in the coming years, it is sort of like the, the, uh, the program that you, that, uh, that

[01:39:59] you opted for, um, does kind of fall into the public eye a couple occasionally. And there are,

[01:40:05] like, discussions about the ethics and such like that, because like, shouldn't we give this all to

[01:40:10] all the vorture? That's all he's doing it. Cause he's basically spearheading this for all vorture,

[01:40:16] because if it's safe for him to do it, and it's easy enough to replicate quote unquote, easy enough,

[01:40:24] then potentially all we have access to this, at least in limited amounts.

[01:40:30] Yeah. And there are certainly going to be groups of vorture that want to do this.

[01:40:34] There are also going to be groups that don't, that, that feel it's, it's against nature or it's

[01:40:39] like, like they, they're the more purest vorture, like they want to have the shorter lives, um,

[01:40:45] and stuff like that. So like, again, it's, it's something that's going to like, again, like it's,

[01:40:48] it's not going to be like, Oh, all vorture get this or getting this or like, this is banned or

[01:40:53] something. It's, it's going to be a sort of a complicated, uh, thing for the future of, of the,

[01:40:59] the setting. I mean, there may be even like, feelers out there to, uh, depending on how this goes,

[01:41:06] he may act it. I mean, he would give up everything for his family. He may end up, uh, going with his

[01:41:13] wife and child to the, uh, sorry, like returning back to the um, if, if this is, he's no longer

[01:41:20] accepted or anything like that. So there's a lot of trepidation with, with that whole deal. But,

[01:41:27] you know, closing scene of, uh, little, little, a sorry daughter curled up in his lap and him,

[01:41:35] him just rocking her to thinking about how, uh, this doesn't have to be the end.

[01:41:43] Nice. Uh, okay. Um, Durga, what is Durga up to in like the coming week, in the coming years? Like,

[01:41:51] how, how do you see him playing? Like, how do you see him panning out?

[01:41:57] Simple for it. Yeah. Uh, I was just going to, I will tell you that like, you're, you're,

[01:42:01] you've got a clean bill of health from Draco facility. Yeah. When you went to the Draco facility, uh,

[01:42:07] you saw that they, I will say, when you got to the Draco facility, um, you saw that they were

[01:42:12] taking care of Runt, he actually would come out in and out of, of his coma, of his, uh, his coma

[01:42:18] state. Um, and Steli was like there with him, like kind of making sure he was okay and being,

[01:42:22] being, uh, um, taken care of and such. You also saw that they were definitely, this station is, so when

[01:42:31] you, when you don't find, you don't know the exact location of it, but it's awfully close to the

[01:42:36] black hole. Oh, dear. Like, it's in the accretion disk of the black hole in the center of Helius.

[01:42:44] Um, they're also, you also definitely passed some windows where you saw some red light bathing,

[01:42:50] a kind of coming from the, uh, uh, coming from some certain labs.

[01:42:57] So yeah, but that's not your problem anymore. You got a clean bill of health. There's no, you have

[01:43:03] no like virulent contaminants from the Red Izo or the, the organism within it and such.

[01:43:09] No, we'll just let that linger in the back of my mind and give it, give me hunting nightmares.

[01:43:14] Yeah, you get some more nightmares, you know, the, the stack on to the ones that you got from the

[01:43:17] Milky Way. That's right. Uh, so yeah, where, where is, yeah, but Crix got a whole, or not Crix,

[01:43:23] Durga's got a whole future ahead of him. So where, where is Durga in a few years after that?

[01:43:28] Uh, I think, you know, just on top of like being the, like doing the path finder thing and

[01:43:33] working with the, um, uh, the zig plot. Um, it's, it's pretty simple. He's just going to keep working

[01:43:41] towards the glory of the krogan and helping out, um, the vorches because that was like kind of an

[01:43:47] original thing that he was doing, which he wanted to help basically like be a, uh, uh, like a fighting

[01:43:56] force or, or a battle training, a kind of individual for the vortia along with the krogan to just

[01:44:07] like, yeah, so that then they could expand, uh, the krogan and the vortia could expand a little

[01:44:11] bit more. Okay. So you're, you're helping with like, basically though, because the vortia are getting

[01:44:15] more of independent, like they're, they're an independent government at this point. So, uh,

[01:44:20] you're, you're helping boot as on top of helping boosting the zig plot, krogan relations, you're

[01:44:24] also helping with the krogan vortia relations. Yeah. Okay. And, uh, I may replace like, you know,

[01:44:31] another body part or two along the way. I choice. I have a, I have a very serious question here.

[01:44:41] On one of your cybernetic limbs, is there a compartment in there for squiggles, the warmonger?

[01:44:47] Oh, look, they're definitely will be now your zad and space squirrel pet.

[01:44:53] There should be now.

[01:44:57] He goes into home. Yeah. Cybernetic hump now. Yeah.

[01:45:02] I was going to say I was thinking like, like, for some reason, I just wasn't thought of this like

[01:45:06] giant like, like almost like the, uh, like where you're, uh, uh, where the joint is for your, um,

[01:45:11] your shoulder, like, with like, just like a cage kind of built in or a container built in there.

[01:45:16] Oh, open.

[01:45:18] Not even. We'll, we'll train him and we can make it like a, um, if we can take a rifle and make

[01:45:24] it like a little, like, uh, like a little set on turret forums. It's like a bubble turret from

[01:45:29] it. So like, oh, the, uh, the, uh, the, uh, the, uh, the, uh, the, uh, the gear craft, like an A gun.

[01:45:33] Yeah. It's like a little like bolus, like it's like how like the, the, uh, the Alcor living tank

[01:45:37] have a, have bolus, like gunners. You have school, you've trained squiggles to fire a gun on your

[01:45:42] shoulder. Yeah. God. I love it. You're just, yeah. So yeah, squiggles is there on your shoulder

[01:45:49] as you're like looking out at like a, uh, a training regimen that you're, you're kind of helping

[01:45:55] prepare and such then, I guess. Uh, awesome. Okay. Uh, so Dave, uh, what happens to Olka?

[01:46:05] Uh, well, she's, yeah. Oh man. That's fine to do. So Olka's, uh, apparently going to be, um,

[01:46:17] going on the, uh, on the other ship, whatever it may be called at some point.

[01:46:22] Yeah. We have. Yeah. Primarily as just like an on ship. Yeah. It's like an on ship, um,

[01:46:28] medic and like security for the ship itself. Um,

[01:46:32] but in, in between the time of doing that, or rather, that's not happening for a while, right?

[01:46:40] Yeah. It takes a few days, like, like, because like they have to get, uh, you find out like

[01:46:44] Merrick has, this is also like, this is like a couple of years down the road. So.

[01:46:48] You know, I do too, um, the shenanigans that happened when the Red Eso first attacked and

[01:46:55] EMPs and realizing, oh shit, we're kind of fucked when we don't have our tech.

[01:47:02] She's kind of gone on a little bit of a, um, uh, spending spree of buying low to zero tech

[01:47:09] alternatives to the stuff that we normally use to just have that shit on hand in case that

[01:47:15] stuff happens again. Because if you need to do stuff and you don't have the stuff to do the

[01:47:21] stuff you want to do, you're kind of screwed.

[01:47:23] Okay. So, Oka's becoming a little bit. Yeah. In regards to having zero tech options to things in

[01:47:30] case EMPs happen, because more tech increases the easier it is to just drop an EMP that's shut

[01:47:37] all that shit down. So through like commissioning, uh, people to make stuff or just like finding

[01:47:50] really old tech somehow. I don't know, but actually, yeah, at this point, there wouldn't be any old tech because we all got there with the same level of tech.

[01:47:57] Oh, yeah. You have to basically. Yeah. So you're basically just having to build this stuff from scratch. Yeah, pretty much from scratch. Like stuff, like medical things, because like Omnigiel, it doesn't work on its own. I think we said it did. It's not like a tech based thing. It just sort of works. I don't remember.

[01:48:16] I don't want any gel. Um, I mean, I'm pretty sure I used it when Tommy cut off Derga's arm.

[01:48:25] Oh, Medigiel. You better say on the jail. Yeah. Yeah, he said on the jail. Yeah, Medigiel. Well, Medigiel is like basically just like a combination of like a bunch of different antibiotics and medications to

[01:48:37] have added in that like just works. It's like a, it's like almost like a miracle. It's not a tech based thing though, right? Oh, okay. No, no, it's more regardless. There's a lot of other things. Yeah. That without tech, you kind of screwed. Yeah.

[01:48:54] Maybe you so maybe like Olka is like prepping more like the use of like the application of Medigiel without dispensers. Like like tech. Yeah. And I don't mean just medically sound stuff as well. Like stuff like, you know, getting some rope, just normal rope. Cause you don't necessarily have your Omnigiel, the fabricate rope. Basically replacements to your Omni tool.

[01:49:24] Okay. And like all the tech that you would normally have on you. So, so Olka helps kind of bring in like the, the implication of of rudimentary emergency gear in shuttles that aren't just like isn't just a fabricator. Yeah.

[01:49:43] Like a little safety kit thing and like trying to pitch it to everyone that everyone should have a low tech emergency kit on standby in case shit goes sour.

[01:49:57] The camera just. And a multi tool. And from the core.

[01:50:02] I can't. The camera just pans to a shuttle like flying, like taking off on like one of the stations inside of it. There's like a little like a box near the near the, the, like in the car.

[01:50:12] Go hold. That just has like, it's, it has, it like, has like a, a pitcher or like a cartoon, like logo of, of, of Olka doing like a thumbs up and just like, Ibn Taj emergency kit.

[01:50:29] Peace. Prefer. Yeah. Okay. Cool. And where's Mares end up? Or what is, what has been starting his, his, his weapon and armor building and designing him.

[01:50:42] I think it's a little higher over the past a little bit of time, like getting the groundwork set, taking some time to think up some designs and start sketching stuff out.

[01:50:53] Okay. So you stopped being the, so he retired. No, he's still doing that. Just like in the back of his head, he's like getting things prepared for like what he's going to be doing to do this. Okay.

[01:51:02] So there's enough time in between now and, and him actually getting sent away on a big Pathfinder mission. He may start like a single stall somewhere in, is it the Citadel? What's it called?

[01:51:15] Nexus. Yeah. Like in the Nexus. He'll hire someone to like mine the shop, all these gone or something. But once he fully retires, then his plan would be to like expand it into like a franchise, basically.

[01:51:29] Okay. Yeah. At this point, there'll be a couple, like in a couple of years, like there's, like suddenly there's a franchise on quib, the the Volus, the Volus colonial world, and then there's also like that planet out in the, in the praxilon rift that has a couple of has a Volus colony now on it.

[01:51:46] So, and then like on various other stations and stuff around Helius and the praxilon rift suddenly these these little like stores.

[01:51:54] It's called Merck's Marvellous, Merck's Marvelous Munitions. Yeah. Wow. Because when you use like a weapon of his, and you just use it. The first thing you think is just.

[01:52:08] That's why the acronym is just.

[01:52:13] Yeah. I'll see. I'll always think it was like, like shopping their communications.

[01:52:18] You may adopt that accident. It was for fun. Okay.

[01:52:24] All right. Next up is, let me see.

[01:52:29] Hilo or Leah, Josh, which everyone, which one do you want to start with? Okay.

[01:52:38] What happens to Hilo in the next few years?

[01:52:41] Depending on Dave, if he's willing, right?

[01:52:46] Uh, Merck might have a partner for this marvelous munitions. Hell yeah.

[01:52:53] As if Dave had said, no, I would have gone into our competition.

[01:52:57] How dare? Nice.

[01:53:03] Yeah. And we're going to have like a tune in next campaign with a corporate espionage.

[01:53:07] Merck's Marvelous Munitions and Hilo, Blair industries.

[01:53:12] Shatter.

[01:53:14] In shadow.

[01:53:17] Yeah. Jesus Christ.

[01:53:20] Yeah. No, sorry. Continue.

[01:53:22] That's so partnering with Merck for armor and weapon upgrades. Yada yada yada.

[01:53:28] Okay.

[01:53:30] Well, it worked together really well on the ship.

[01:53:33] So I don't see why he would be against that.

[01:53:36] Hilo there.

[01:53:38] Industries, I assume like also is like doing salvage stuff with the, uh,

[01:53:41] the debris field between the two quarters.

[01:53:44] I already stick.

[01:53:45] Having to, yeah, having to, uh,

[01:53:49] contend with equal rights for, for salvage with the, the alien free.

[01:53:55] I mean, it's, it's never going to be equal rights, just by population.

[01:54:00] I have more workers than their species.

[01:54:04] Okay. Wow.

[01:54:06] So Hilo there is really is an even more.

[01:54:09] All right.

[01:54:10] That was fast.

[01:54:13] Adam, you said you were going to be the villain. I think we found our,

[01:54:15] I think we found the villain for next campaign.

[01:54:17] Next.

[01:54:18] So I realized a long time ago I couldn't have made a fucker.

[01:54:20] Josh because he's a mother fucker.

[01:54:22] So like.

[01:54:24] Imagine like listening to the first episode and saying how like,

[01:54:28] you're going to force him to be your best friend and then cut to now,

[01:54:31] where it's like, I've realized Josh is just a mother fucker.

[01:54:34] Yeah.

[01:54:36] God.

[01:54:38] Can I still add an overall CB air of my ways?

[01:54:42] Yeah.

[01:54:43] Well, yeah, Hilo, your, uh, your, um, partner in crime,

[01:54:48] Theo or there is, uh, is more than happy to, uh,

[01:54:53] to reap the rewards of the lucrative rewards of the situation.

[01:54:58] I'm aware.

[01:54:59] I'm aware.

[01:55:00] Especially since you've been getting some very interesting contracts from both the,

[01:55:05] the new Admiralty board and the nexus.

[01:55:08] Um,

[01:55:10] From, for, for several, like kind of secret, uh, uh, facilities.

[01:55:15] Of course I have.

[01:55:18] Uh, and Arla.

[01:55:21] Are you keeping this kind of like stuff like, um, like, on the, like,

[01:55:25] a transparent with Arla or is Aria, how, how's, how's the Arla situation going?

[01:55:29] Like do you guys stay together or do you guys been having a, having a falling out?

[01:55:34] No.

[01:55:36] No, God, no, not falling out.

[01:55:38] Okay.

[01:55:40] Okay.

[01:55:41] So she's now, are you've been telling her about all the stuff that you.

[01:55:44] That you, that you, that you kind of like, some one of them.

[01:55:46] Maybe not everything because corporate details and all that lovely stuff.

[01:55:49] Yeah.

[01:55:50] Yeah.

[01:55:51] His mans.

[01:55:52] Okay.

[01:55:53] So, uh, season one daredevil with King Pan and his, like you love, I get it.

[01:56:00] Yeah.

[01:56:01] This is basically what this is.

[01:56:02] And then we get, what, what of little, little Leah and, and her mom?

[01:56:09] She's going to be a.

[01:56:10] She's the path.

[01:56:12] Which is what they said.

[01:56:14] Yes.

[01:56:15] Yep.

[01:56:16] Probably on the same ship as the, no, I think, I think the, the new Admiralty board gave you,

[01:56:22] leave, gave Leah, uh, and, uh, and her mom, like a full quarry and complimentary,

[01:56:27] like compliment crew and ship for the, for the quarrying path.

[01:56:31] Oh my God.

[01:56:32] Uh, especially since the quarians are getting a little bit more of a, of a,

[01:56:35] a presence in the Helios cluster.

[01:56:37] We can now colonize any world.

[01:56:39] Got the food processor.

[01:56:41] Right.

[01:56:42] Yeah.

[01:56:43] There was the food processor.

[01:56:44] Yep.

[01:56:45] So you guys just popping up on every call, on every universe now.

[01:56:49] Listen, we're going to do this and not being a little breed freely.

[01:56:53] We can just do it now.

[01:56:55] That doesn't mean you should turn into rabbits.

[01:56:57] Yeah.

[01:56:58] Wow.

[01:56:59] It started really wholesome and like it's gotten, it's getting darker and darker.

[01:57:05] The farther down the line, we feel like the evil race that's taking over everything.

[01:57:09] Now.

[01:57:12] I mean, you didn't read annihilation.

[01:57:15] You skip ahead.

[01:57:17] Another few hundred years when they make an AI race and they destroy the galaxy.

[01:57:22] Fucking ten years.

[01:57:24] All right.

[01:57:25] So.

[01:57:26] Or even family.

[01:57:27] So this is 10.

[01:57:28] Jesus.

[01:57:30] Great.

[01:57:32] So they, they're just going to overpopulate.

[01:57:34] And just hilarious.

[01:57:36] Okay.

[01:57:37] So.

[01:57:39] Okay.

[01:57:40] So.

[01:57:41] Yeah.

[01:57:42] So anything else you'd like to have like bring up with Leah for like the next few years after Wolf.

[01:57:48] Really?

[01:57:49] Yeah.

[01:57:50] Okay.

[01:57:51] So she's just helping her people with her mom.

[01:57:53] And, and a complimentary crew of the new Admiralty board.

[01:57:58] Next up is Tommy.

[01:58:00] Where is Tommy in a few years?

[01:58:02] Oh, he's dead.

[01:58:06] Yeah.

[01:58:07] In a gun.

[01:58:08] We went around.

[01:58:09] That's good tombstone.

[01:58:11] In an unmarked grave on, on Elodin.

[01:58:15] Addicted to red sand.

[01:58:17] Are you fucking serious?

[01:58:19] That shows a grave shows.

[01:58:21] He took his task force and well.

[01:58:29] He's just going to keep him in the dark.

[01:58:31] If you know what I mean.

[01:58:32] The black.

[01:58:33] Yeah.

[01:58:34] We, yeah, you, you've, yeah, there's.

[01:58:36] Candrose occasionally gets a, gets a, gets messages from a Hades team and he's just like nods and, and then continues on his work.

[01:58:45] But here's the thing that, that I didn't really suffer when he consequences from my decision.

[01:58:52] No, it's, it's almost like you had some good leverage, i.e.

[01:58:55] a bunch of intel on a terrorist cell that is, that, that.

[01:58:59] Pretty much.

[01:59:03] Yeah.

[01:59:06] Okay.

[01:59:07] So.

[01:59:09] And, and finally, we see Theo.

[01:59:14] Where's Theo in a few in about three years say.

[01:59:18] From, from the wolf pack season two.

[01:59:24] You've, you've been retired for three years.

[01:59:27] Uh, you're the captain of the wolf pack, which is now a free ship.

[01:59:31] Uh, the punish are, punish are retired as well to become the pilot of the wolf pack after, and after she bought it.

[01:59:37] Off of the, uh, the nexus.

[01:59:41] Did you got a pair of little rug fat rug rats running around.

[01:59:45] Wow.

[01:59:47] Are they, are they yours too?

[01:59:51] Can I say I like a sense of humor.

[01:59:53] Wow.

[01:59:54] Okay.

[01:59:55] Yeah.

[01:59:56] Okay.

[01:59:57] And we are now with the, um, um, the, the freelance mercenary ship wolf pack.

[02:00:05] All right.

[02:00:07] Um, yeah.

[02:00:10] Uh, you've got a new crew.

[02:00:12] Um, you've got a family that you're, you're supporting and it's, uh,

[02:00:18] been pretty good retirement life. Like you're getting that nice, that you're getting that nice check in every, uh,

[02:00:22] every month from, uh, from next year.

[02:00:24] Through primarily standard, easy to deal with humans.

[02:00:28] No.

[02:00:31] Fair enough.

[02:00:35] I just figured.

[02:00:37] Is there a, is there perhaps a hanar who is a former, um, uh, ambassador to the, to the hanar species named mayor butters.

[02:00:47] Who's on your ship.

[02:00:49] Damn it.

[02:00:51] Butters.

[02:00:52] Did you ever contact? Did you ever get back in contact with, with mayor butters after that karaoke?

[02:00:58] Uh, that karaoke, um, uh, party.

[02:01:01] I need to go with no.

[02:01:03] Okay.

[02:01:04] But we do have, uh, but we do sell plasma and plasma accessories.

[02:01:10] You do have a cyclot with, uh, yeah. So you guys have like the pro your, yeah, your, so your weaponry array is probably like mostly plasma weapons.

[02:01:17] Except for the rail gun.

[02:01:20] Yeah.

[02:01:23] The, the rail gun, the orbital ret cannon.

[02:01:27] The, the prototype.

[02:01:31] Yeah.

[02:01:32] We're still rocking the original.

[02:01:37] Yeah.

[02:01:39] So occasionally you drop by, uh, Merck's, Merck's store to like, see it, like make sure there's like, it's, we're in working order.

[02:01:44] To his crew.

[02:01:47] Yep.

[02:01:48] Oh, yeah.

[02:01:50] Best boarding spheres ever.

[02:01:54] All right.

[02:01:55] Um, so yeah, as you are.

[02:01:58] So, yeah, that that's basically what, yeah, that's what the O's been up to. He's got his own Merc crew and a family now.

[02:02:06] So we cut till, yeah, three years after the wolf pack season two end.

[02:02:10] Um, so you're, you've been living a pretty good life in your retirement there.

[02:02:16] Theo until that one done.

[02:02:19] Um, Theo, you have a dream.

[02:02:23] Uh, you're, you're asleep and you have this dream.

[02:02:26] Uh, at first there is a feeling of very, very cold and damp.

[02:02:33] Uh, as you are in some kind of dark space.

[02:02:36] Uh, there is a dark and full of terrors.

[02:02:39] Yeah.

[02:02:40] Uh, there is, uh, and then like as the darkness kind of.

[02:02:44] Uh, the darkness gives way to what looks like a star field.

[02:02:49] Uh, an alien star field. You've never, you don't recognize.

[02:02:53] The location on a neighbor travels in the last three years or even during your time on the wolf pack with the pathfinders and stuff.

[02:03:01] Um, and in the distance kind of silhouetted in front of those stars, there is this massive planet sized conch shell like object.

[02:03:13] Um, and then just as suddenly there is this brilliant blue light that crackles to life and illuminates more of the shadowed object revealing.

[02:03:27] Something akin to what you would recognize as a mass relay from the Milky Way, but it is some new variant or design that you've never seen.

[02:03:38] It's, it's more like organic and crustacean like than the, than the relays that you remember from the Milky Way.

[02:03:45] Uh, it's also magnitudes larger than any you, you can recall in your old life.

[02:03:54] Um, and then as the light as the lights are crackling to life, there is a shadow in the stars approaching this object.

[02:04:04] And you hear in a booming whisper in your head.

[02:04:08] The darkness must be breached.

[02:04:12] And that's when you wake up Theo.

[02:04:15] Um, and you look around your room in a cold sweat.

[02:04:21] And you see all around you.

[02:04:25] Um, in your on your walls.

[02:04:28] Uh, there are scrollings and carving even carvings of large sets of numbers.

[02:04:36] Um, on the wall next to your next to your bed.

[02:04:40] Uh, you, you look to your, like your omni tool was active and it basically you had an omni blade on on and you were carving in, um, numbers into your, your wall.

[02:04:52] Um, and from what, you know, at first you're not sure what the numbers mean, but then.

[02:04:59] You, you run some, they could almost be coordinates.

[02:05:05] And that's where we're going to end Wolfpack season two.

[02:05:09] So, yeah, that was a Mass Effect Wolfpack season two comments question.

[02:05:19] We did.

[02:05:21] It's over.

[02:05:22] But it's not.

[02:05:23] I really wanted to wet the wheelie Theo.

[02:05:26] Oh my God.

[02:05:29] That's just like walk up like as he was doing his brief.

[02:05:33] I get this.

[02:05:34] I'm going, what the hell are you doing?

[02:05:36] Uh, I think the, the nerf gun and then getting like taken down by security was, it was better.

[02:05:42] Uh, but, uh, yeah, that was, that was a little pack.

[02:05:48] I said, how'd you guys?

[02:05:49] How'd you like the campaign?

[02:05:50] Oh, it was fun.

[02:05:54] It was fun.

[02:05:56] We started this in like April.

[02:05:59] Oh, God.

[02:06:00] It was not.

[02:06:01] Oh, shit.

[02:06:02] It was.

[02:06:03] It was.

[02:06:04] Oh my God.

[02:06:05] I want to see February.

[02:06:06] Yeah.

[02:06:07] God.

[02:06:08] It took us almost.

[02:06:09] It almost took us two seasons to do this.

[02:06:11] There's definitely, there's definitely snow on the ground.

[02:06:14] Chris, like I mentioned, like, like, like week.

[02:06:17] I've gone through like.

[02:06:18] I just.

[02:06:21] Yeah, I just started my.

[02:06:24] I got through Skyrim.

[02:06:26] Yeah.

[02:06:27] Yeah.

[02:06:28] I just started at the mine when we started playing.

[02:06:32] Oh, geez.

[02:06:33] Yeah.

[02:06:34] Well, you know, in all honesty, I just, I mean, I know that we're going to still have to come back to this post mortal on, on the campaign.

[02:06:45] But it just, I mean, there was a lot of moving pieces and you kind of, I enjoyed how all this has went from.

[02:06:53] Just this Andromeda galaxy spanning to beyond.

[02:06:57] It was, it was very ambitious.

[02:06:59] And I mean, I think you pulled it off like super well, man.

[02:07:03] It was great.

[02:07:04] Yeah, this was a lot more ambitious, I think, than the season one.

[02:07:08] Yeah, both in the setting because you're going to an entirely new area and also.

[02:07:13] Just in function from the amount of players and characters that we have in this one.

[02:07:18] Yeah.

[02:07:20] And two of us being idiots and characters.

[02:07:24] I didn't exactly help.

[02:07:26] Yeah, I, I, in it to your credit, I should have been more of a strict GM and like only allowed like one player, one character, but.

[02:07:34] Yeah.

[02:07:35] I just didn't want to part with all.

[02:07:37] I like the concept of Merck, but.

[02:07:41] Yeah.

[02:07:43] I think next time, like, yeah, I'm going to stand, I'm going to like hammer home more on like one character for simplicity.

[02:07:49] Also, maybe a few lesser, not like I'm kicking players out, but like I'm going to like limit the amount of players for certain campaigns.

[02:07:58] Because this is like, this was, it had its hurdles.

[02:08:01] I'm, I've got a bit exhausted at times, but I mean, yeah, I still also had tons of fun.

[02:08:05] It was a bit of a test because like we were conceptualizing like, well, what if all these characters are here,

[02:08:11] but not all of them are necessarily on the away mission and maybe that would help and it kind of helps, but not enough is the, the feeling I got.

[02:08:19] Yeah.

[02:08:23] Yeah.

[02:08:24] This game took us over six months.

[02:08:27] Yeah.

[02:08:29] Because I remember playing Assassin's Creed Revelations and us just hit and us being in the debris field.

[02:08:35] God.

[02:08:39] Yeah.

[02:08:40] The certain parts of this campaign like went longer than I thought they were going to play.

[02:08:43] I like long games though.

[02:08:45] Like I'm not going to anything at all.

[02:08:47] I know it was really good.

[02:08:49] I like longer.

[02:08:51] I like long campaigns, but I, I just, the only one thing I don't like about long campaigns is try to get the, like, get, have a proper and good conclusion to it.

[02:09:02] Because like the game does have to end.

[02:09:05] Like the story does have to end to do to tell new stories later.

[02:09:09] That's never ending story.

[02:09:13] Okay. Well, yeah.

[02:09:15] I'll let you sink in that quicksand.

[02:09:19] Yeah.

[02:09:21] Yeah.

[02:09:22] I think I think I love it.

[02:09:24] No, I got to look it up again.

[02:09:26] I think I love my highlight for this entire game was Adam thinking he'd be best friends with Josh's character.

[02:09:34] But also let's not have space capitalism.

[02:09:37] I believe I heard Adam say once me.

[02:09:40] To the, to the rest of the group.

[02:09:42] And then I had, I just like Adam is already here.

[02:09:49] And then like the ending here with like all of you guys like I start business.

[02:09:52] I started, I started mega corporate.

[02:09:54] Yeah.

[02:09:58] The space communism is no fun.

[02:10:00] You sound like you know that from experience.

[02:10:03] Well, I mean guys, we, we have to, we have to follow the, um, the, the mantra of a certain Tim Curry character.

[02:10:14] I'm going to the one place that has not been corrupted.

[02:10:17] Capitalism.

[02:10:19] That's.

[02:10:21] It's on you.

[02:10:22] It is.

[02:10:24] Yeah.

[02:10:25] Unfortunately, in the Mass Effect universe, space has been corrected by capitalism.

[02:10:31] I mean, I don't want to turn this into like a post mortal thing.

[02:10:35] I think, but I really enjoyed playing with you guys.

[02:10:39] It was a joy to, you know, listen to several of you all play beforehand.

[02:10:44] And as I joke, as I lovingly stated to Chris several times, I'm your oldest biggest fan because at the time I was.

[02:10:52] You know, I got, obviously, I think I was going to be getting like the, like the inside, like a scoop of girls games beforehand.

[02:10:59] I loved it before even listening to it.

[02:11:02] And he even offered me like, I can go ahead and slide to that.

[02:11:05] I'm like, no, I want to finish product.

[02:11:07] And, um, I mean, I honestly feel like I've spent two years, like an entire year really with you all just because I started listening to these episodes posting for season one.

[02:11:19] Mm.

[02:11:20] I think it may cause I think I remembered like my daughter's birthday was going on around that same time that I started that, but, um,

[02:11:28] whenever it started. So, yeah, it's, it's, it's honestly, honestly got to feel like I've spent it over a year with you all.

[02:11:33] And it's been great. And I just want to thank Chris for inviting me in for you all welcoming me to your table.

[02:11:39] It's been a real enjoyable experience.

[02:11:41] You said that like you're done. We're not letting you go.

[02:11:45] Stuff.

[02:11:49] One of us.

[02:11:53] Yeah.

[02:11:54] Come on up for our.

[02:11:56] Yeah.

[02:11:57] Come on up for our needs based games.

[02:11:59] Yeah.

[02:12:00] You said, yeah, you had to start coming up to Canada now.

[02:12:02] Well, I'm seasonal because if I made fun of Chris that when he came down to Kentucky about like, Oh, God, it's so hard.

[02:12:09] I'm like, I can't sit footed.

[02:12:11] Oh, no, you're, you're, you're, you're, you're coming up to Canada in the winter.

[02:12:15] In January.

[02:12:16] Oh, God.

[02:12:17] I will buy, I will buy your air ticket.

[02:12:20] See, you see, here's the thing. He's not going to get the real Canada experience because he's not going to experience that minus 35 minus 40.

[02:12:29] That I have to experience when I have work.

[02:12:32] I mean, we get that occasionally down here, Mark.

[02:12:35] I mean, yeah, we hit negative twenty seconds here.

[02:12:37] Oh, I didn't get that kind of cold.

[02:12:43] There's the other side of the drill.

[02:12:45] God.

[02:12:46] Just be afraid.

[02:12:48] Oh, it is.

[02:12:52] Just dress on the dress.

[02:12:54] I don't think he knows.

[02:12:56] On the bright side.

[02:12:58] Yes, Aaron.

[02:13:00] On the bright side for Adam, negative 40 is negative 40.

[02:13:03] It's the same in both Fahrenheit and Celsius.

[02:13:06] It is hit negative 40. He'll feel at home because it's the right measurement.

[02:13:12] That's when freedom units in the metric system kind of together.

[02:13:16] Holy shit.

[02:13:17] Yeah.

[02:13:19] Adam, I've got some snow pants. You can probably get negative 52.

[02:13:23] He's got some, he's got some snow flood pants for you.

[02:13:36] It's very kind of a job.

[02:13:39] Maybe not an entire torso.

[02:13:41] I enjoyed the idea of increasing my balls.

[02:13:45] Well, I saw it.

[02:13:47] I saw it.

[02:13:48] I also have my balls crushed by the suspenders.

[02:13:50] Pull one of your short pants up.

[02:13:52] It's held delightful.

[02:13:54] Sign me up.

[02:13:56] You can also get to enjoy the ridiculous amount of snow that me and Dave have to

[02:14:03] see.

[02:14:05] Yeah, don't worry about it in the show.

[02:14:08] Okay, we've got off the rails here.

[02:14:11] Yeah.

[02:14:12] Yeah.

[02:14:13] Yeah, Adam, it's been, it's been awesome having you off for the wolf pack season

[02:14:17] too.

[02:14:18] And having crick.

[02:14:20] Thank you.

[02:14:21] Appreciate it.

[02:14:22] I was like, I honestly, a good portion of this campaign was basically prepping

[02:14:28] around like Adam's sympathy pet.

[02:14:31] Like space dad.

[02:14:35] Thank you.

[02:14:37] It's been a great experience.

[02:14:38] I look forward to future.

[02:14:40] For sure.

[02:14:41] And that's the last we ever heard from Adam.

[02:14:45] We just connect.

[02:14:48] Fuck you guys.

[02:14:50] Well, I was having a blog later.

[02:14:55] You know what?

[02:14:57] I never listened to me.

[02:15:06] I've heard.

[02:15:09] Before I tell the bot to leave.

[02:15:16] Anything else about this about the session about the the finale and stuff

[02:15:21] at that he has want to bring up.

[02:15:23] It was good to well done with how you played.

[02:15:25] So now you don't have to bring him in for the ending.

[02:15:29] I mean, I can do like a little bit with Sam if I if he if he wants to

[02:15:33] like know and stuff.

[02:15:34] But yeah, like I kind of had the idea that like Sam was going to like a

[02:15:37] run was going to get.

[02:15:39] Retired from the Pathfinder situation both because of his.

[02:15:43] Medical situation.

[02:15:46] And also like they want to study him.

[02:15:50] He's not just fully in a coma right now.

[02:15:52] So he is like out and about.

[02:15:55] So Seb can still.

[02:15:58] Come in for a last episode.

[02:16:00] Yeah, or I might do.

[02:16:01] We might have a couple who knows that maybe in the future,

[02:16:03] I'll do like a one shot game on Draco facility when it all goes

[02:16:07] inevitably wrong.

[02:16:09] And they have to like.

[02:16:12] I'll agree.

[02:16:13] Guys, a little bit thing about that.

[02:16:15] There's a reason Draco facility is so damn close to that black hole.

[02:16:18] I can assume one reason.

[02:16:20] So they can get.

[02:16:22] There's a contingent.

[02:16:23] It's something.

[02:16:25] If something goes wrong.

[02:16:27] Yeah.

[02:16:29] Yep.

[02:16:31] Yeah.

[02:16:34] Yeah.

[02:16:35] I just wanted to have that like last.

[02:16:37] Also, I like I did like how like the ultra like the epilogues of all

[02:16:40] the characters.

[02:16:41] It started off like nice.

[02:16:42] And then it just got like more and more kind of like.

[02:16:45] And now we're seeing the darkness of the universe.

[02:16:47] It's like more and more greed incorporate corporate espionage.

[02:16:51] Things are starting to set in and then.

[02:16:54] I know.

[02:16:55] Was it.

[02:16:58] It could be really honestly like legitimately that could be really fun

[02:17:01] trying to like.

[02:17:02] Run a math effect, a shadow run kind of like game where you guys are

[02:17:06] like dealing or like like cyberpunk.

[02:17:09] Don't worry though.

[02:17:11] Actually in regard to Josh saying that it's fine here.

[02:17:14] I'll roll judge intent.

[02:17:16] That one.

[02:17:18] Damn it.

[02:17:19] You get merciful.

[02:17:21] Yeah.

[02:17:23] Yeah.

[02:17:24] Yeah.

[02:17:25] Well, actually about the espionage thing at and we can maybe save this for

[02:17:34] like the the actual like post-mortem thing.

[02:17:39] But when we were at GenCon, Adam and I were talking to one of

[02:17:42] our friends from Oklahoma.

[02:17:44] Adam.

[02:17:46] About there apparently is a massive attack for the cyberpunk

[02:17:50] red system.

[02:17:52] So that might be interesting.

[02:17:54] It might be something worth looking into for like an espionage

[02:17:57] game.

[02:17:58] But yeah, if there's nothing else to be said about the finale and

[02:18:04] the campaign that we don't want to say until the post-mortem

[02:18:08] it was good to see characters talk about stuff that isn't

[02:18:12] necessarily just retaining to the job itself that we're on like

[02:18:16] the mission.

[02:18:17] Just because like the amount of yeah.

[02:18:20] Because because of the amount of characters we didn't necessarily

[02:18:23] have a whole bunch of time to talk about stuff like that.

[02:18:27] So it was nice to see that in the outro.

[02:18:29] In the final episode.

[02:18:31] Yeah.

[02:18:33] Also, Aaron, I'm really glad that you were here to do the

[02:18:37] Theo like final like evaluation.

[02:18:40] Yes.

[02:18:41] Of the crew.

[02:18:42] And I did like you were starting to do that.

[02:18:45] Well in season one and season two, an episode four.

[02:18:48] And I just like I had to throw in those things like director

[02:18:51] like no, this is canon.

[02:18:52] This is what's happening.

[02:18:53] He's like Theo is like there's something like they're

[02:18:56] they're watching Theo break a little bit.

[02:19:00] Yeah.

[02:19:02] And it's like they all get like, basically things like so by

[02:19:05] like using like movie and TV like things.

[02:19:08] So I really ducked and it was horrible.

[02:19:12] It's like everybody.

[02:19:14] This guy I remember me and Dave were like kind of

[02:19:16] jokingly like but also kind of seriously like considering

[02:19:18] this camp.

[02:19:19] This campaign specifically was just like everybody hates

[02:19:23] he loved?

[02:19:24] Everybody hates Theo.

[02:19:26] imma.

[02:19:27] Yeah, like Theo if this was a sitcom Theo was the main character that all and all the other characters are just like kind of orbiting around him

[02:19:36] Make you like yep

[02:19:39] Yeah, yep, you might not have done a lot, but a lot of the stuff revolve

[02:19:46] You did do real good, and I know

[02:19:49] Yeah, you buy out a punch of shit. Yes. Yeah, you

[02:19:53] Yeah, I did. I did. I was a combat monster. Yeah

[02:20:03] That's it. Yeah, cuz that's a cold inch. Yes. All right. Yes. All right, so

[02:20:13] Yeah, I think with that

[02:20:15] We will say goodbye for the first time for the last time. Wait

[02:20:22] Last time on my internet. See y'all next time.

[02:20:29] Take care. Maybe this has been wolf paxies and two signing out

[02:20:37] Wait, is that happening? Yeah? Transcription results written to '/home/forge/transcribe3.sonicengage.com/releases/20240205231104' directory
