TimeWatch agents are dispatched to 1945 New Mexico to investigate a potential temporal anomaly. Their mission: to safeguard the integrity of the timeline and uncover the source of this disturbance.
Aaron – Rick Baker - A hard-boiled detective from the 1970s, bringing grit and disdain for his Russian counterpart.
Ethan - Albert – A highly intelligent silverback gorilla, the product of advanced experimentation in an alternate 1985 Soviet Union.
Joe - Thorfan Regalio – sophisticated "agent of removal" (assassin) from the 31st century.
"The Gadget" is a scenario from the "Behind Enemy Times" campaign. While our initial intention was to complete the entire campaign, scheduling circumstances led us to focus solely on this standalone episode.
[00:00:00] Hello, welcome to the Roleplaying Exchange. This is Adam and tonight we are going to be playing TimeWatch. The scenario is called the Gadget and this is something that I was kind of hoping to run the
[00:00:14] campaign of Behind the Enemy Times and this is our introduction scenario to it. So hopefully we'll be able to play several more of these but in true RPX fashion I'll probably release this on Patreon because we all just kind of meh off but
[00:00:28] Anyway, let's go ahead and introduce ourselves and our characters starting with our good buddy Aaron. Hi, I'm Aaron and I'm playing Detective Rick Baker a police officer from 19th or the police detective Excuse me from 1975. Awesome man. Do you recall what was his introduction to TimeWatch?
[00:00:52] I don't as a matter of fact. I don't think we ever agreed upon one. I think you actually made up one the last time but I don't remember it
[00:00:59] But I was hoping somebody else would be able to catch you on your bullshit. But okay good way to join it Not this time All right next I am Ethan and I am going to be returning as Albert Silverback gorilla from 1985 alternate 1985 I
[00:01:24] vaguely recall I am a former enemy of TimeWatch Came in out of the cold. Yeah, you're a russian super star gorilla Oh, yeah gave it all up gave it up damn it
[00:01:40] Crack team we got here and the cherry on top of this team. Oh, uh, I suppose that would be me I'm Joe And my character is Thor fan regalio He is a an agent of removal from the 31st century. He's he's an assassin
[00:01:59] Oh, that's a very church-drop way to say assassin Well, 31st century is a noble and Elegant place assassin is such a ghost word for Problems defined and delicate like we are Right exactly. Nice. And you know, you see in one of these games of TimeWatch
[00:02:29] We would be beginning in TimeWatch Citadel, which is outside of time and space in a time that it's just before the big bang But that's not how we're doing it this time. This time we're going to begin in media res
[00:02:42] So you were quickly scrambled by your handler, which is habesha the greek mathematician And you were told that you had to get to 1945 God Los goddamn it. I'll find the name of it in a second Los Alamos No
[00:03:01] Well, you're going to 1945 new mexico because there has been a report Of a woolly mammoth that is on the loose and reek in destruction and nearby town That sounds preposterous So They're kind of work
[00:03:18] They were kind of working on things on their end, but you're going out right now To see what kind of damage Control you can do so obviously, you know, this thing is being seen
[00:03:28] And you're going to have to go ahead and a remove the threat somehow and then b You're going to have to remove everyone's memory of this event in any fashion you can You know and guarantee that the atomic bomb is still invented and used Yeah
[00:03:48] quite so yeah, so boom you This is something that the creator when I when I played this game with Kevin colt kind of did and I like you know, let's see what everybody says
[00:04:01] So when you time travel, what exactly does it look like for you? Like how do you envision this scene? Aaron um It's like getting off a subway train and doing a new time Okay So you pretty much get your tether. You just activate it
[00:04:20] And even in your mind's eye there's a door or like two doors slide open You step through it and then boom you're there. Okay. That's kind of vanilla. We'll go with that I guess Let's do it Ethan how does Albert see this?
[00:04:38] I think he probably like slowly from black Like his vision fades into the uh, the area he's traveling to and then as he's traveling Like either forwards or backwards He sees like all the changes happening around him until he hits the time he's supposed to be and bam
[00:04:58] That's really nice. That is not vanilla in the least. Why thank you adam It's christ. Oh, why I don't know what I would have done if you said that was Nope, you'll never mean something like that on your own podcast
[00:05:15] Now what does Thor is it Thor fan? Is that how you pronounce it? Thor fan. Yeah, Thor fan. How does Thor fan see time travel? uh Thor fan Thinks it's like stepping out of a worm bath
[00:05:30] Like just very slowly sort of emerging from worm depths worm depths up into the cold reality of Uh, the new time and then it just like pops like a bubble and suddenly he's there. Okay. Awesome That was not vanilla either Aaron. I'm sorry. I just Know, right
[00:05:52] You'll see You'll regret it. You'll regret it once I actually actually get a chance to cause trouble for you in this game You son of a bitch Buddy what i'm gonna say in this game, but Yeah, maybe it was he was just like preemptively at least getting something
[00:06:08] Yeah before the trouble happened That's fair I gotta give you some sense of indication. So you are arriving in uh Tolerosa, New Mexico, which is you know east of the white sands and you're like The way it works is when you do the time travel deal
[00:06:26] Like the computers figure out where there's nobody at at a moment and they will put you there. So You all materialize in a Wool's worth. It's like so old time. Well, it's not old time. He's super old timey But an odor department store kind of set up
[00:06:44] You do notice that the the glass in the front for the display windows have been broken out you Can hear gunfire going off in the distance There's a smell smoke in the air an occasional scream here and there and uh, what do you do? Oh
[00:07:02] I guess uh, probably probably make my way towards the smoke Okay, so presumably the running and the screaming and the smoke they're running from that Okay, and how are you appearing to everyone in this time period by the way?
[00:07:18] So you've got your your mash on which you know unless you do something Totally bizarre that breaks the illusion. They're not seeing a silverback grill. They were seeing a watt Uh, what time period is it did you say 45? Thank you 45. Okay. Um, probably like a guy in a
[00:07:39] It's kind of like a basic suit like a tan suit. He's got like a big gray silver Big gray like handlebar mustache. Okay And I had on sounds good Uh gentlemen, what about your characters? What are you doing? You just seen Albert take off
[00:07:54] I'll follow the girl seems to know what he's doing although uh to my mind Lee Madness not commonly known to start fires No, do you actually with you mentioning that do you um, do you happen to have like history ancient?
[00:08:11] It's a skill and you're not I did not choose that Okay, that's fine. Well you did come from 30 for centuries. Nothing before the 31st century was of any import Nothing cool happened until like the 29th century Now
[00:08:27] Okay, Aaron, I assume that rick baker is doing the same. Yes, I will also follow but I will also light a cigarette while following It's so nice being out time on citadel because they kind of frown on that but you like your
[00:08:43] Hell, these are doctors prescribed cigarettes in 45 And the latest cigarette on the citadel Not supposed to get a frown on it So Yes, you all make it out of the store. It's kind of getting trouble or anything. They're like do that is like so bad for you
[00:09:02] What are you doing? I mean you're almost damn near immortal anyway, but We don't want to hear you take care of yourself really, you know, I mean I don't want to hear you coughing for 20 years anyway, so This is a very kind of
[00:09:20] Toros, uh, you know kind of a smaller town just You're actually on the main street drag You can kind of see it, you know some buildings that indicate there's something Behind where the department store was and you can kind of see some
[00:09:33] Other structures on the other side across the other side of the street past the you know primary buildings you would see So not huge But you know enough of a place to call like for a woolly mammoth to cause harm and yeah, you
[00:09:48] Make it out. You see that if I go left I can see upturn cars and stuff like that and yeah, you see Cars have been knocked over you see Buildings have been like the masonry knocked off the side of it
[00:10:02] And you see in a courtyard square by what looks like the courthouse with the You know how they all try to do that roman kind of
[00:10:11] Pillars and stuff like that for blah blah blah in one of those kind of areas you do see an ellop like a large woolly mammoth It is Kind of pacing around in a circle. It's hitting stuff. It's already knocked over a statue and
[00:10:26] Every once in a while you see somebody Lean out the window with looks like a hunting rifle crack off a shot They lean back in and then the mammoth charges over to that building and starts
[00:10:42] Ramming it with his tusk and you know a wall starts to cave in Doesn't look like that building can do too much more Then there's a bubba across from another building that
[00:10:54] Cleans out cracks a shot. So yeah, and then he ran the woolly mammoth run over to that building so this is the point of the game where Of course You can get base information if you wanted to call upon a skill
[00:11:08] And in some instances where it's a bit more than like a precursor area knowledge of stuff It will require a spend so What does everyone want to do? What state of How much more mammoth impacts can this building suffer before it goes down?
[00:11:25] They do have a point in architecture. I prefer not to spend it though. Okay with a no, that's fine With your basic knowledge of architecture You can tell that basically one whole wall has been decimated
[00:11:38] So if the mammoth hit it harder and definitely stepped into the building then You know, it would collapse possibly killing the mammoth itself But yeah, so the other building isn't doing so bad But I consider two guys
[00:11:55] Shooting at it the one that it has turned and went to is hit the building. It looks like it could take a few more to more better built structure So you mentioned ancient history before I actually have two in ancient history with ancient history
[00:12:11] You do know that mammoths originate in From the Pilsen to the Holocene era What you're definitely looking at is a fresh mammoth. This is straight out of That time period it does not appear to be cloned It does not appear to be thawed out of any sorts. So
[00:12:33] Yeah, this looks like somehow something from the Holocene. I hope I'm pronouncing that correctly Holocene, Holocene, excuse me, but the southern accent negates all mispronunciations But yeah, you do like you get the impression that this thing is straight out of history
[00:12:52] And do I see any like specific spot it might have materialized at like did it just pop in here? Did it come here from elsewhere? Is there a trail? What would you uh, what would you look for a trail with?
[00:13:06] I'm glad you asked Adam. Uh, let's see perhaps, uh It wears it Nope, it's not over there. So that's what that would help you with time travel. Oh, okay. Well, yes, I could use
[00:13:18] Is that your autocrom? I do have notice. I thought there was just like a search or something Well, you know, we play so many gum shoe games. I don't believe there's a straight up Search maybe that's under general abilities
[00:13:33] But what I would actually accept is if you would um, I'll give you something for time craft And if you will give me a time craft spin, I will give you something more. Yeah time craft there Okay, um Yeah, I'll spend one
[00:13:46] Okay, so what you're picking up here and like this is the thing that I absolutely love about this game Like there is like so many different angles on this So with time craft like off hand You do like your autocom is picking up See chrono radiation
[00:14:05] Radiating from this creature. So yes, it has obviously went through time now with the point spin I will say that you have actually your you've got your Autocon to actually like you picked up the trail like it is a la red dead redemption too
[00:14:21] To where you're hunting the animal and you have the Like the scent looking stuff in the area. You get what I'm saying. Yeah So yeah, you can actually if you wanted to you could tell where this is from Rick, do you
[00:14:35] Have anything that you would like to do or would you like to interact with this knowledge? Uh, uh, I'm first. I'm going to shoot at the mammoth to keep it to get its attention So that it does not destroy the building. What are you shooting?
[00:14:50] Hopefully an elephant gun I am shooting a gun that looks like a 1975 issue police revolver now this is those don't exist yet. So Oh Okay. Now here's the bait like and I just want to make this clear as well too
[00:15:14] Uh, you know, it's been a while and you know, we play so many different games and stuff like that Yeah, me for something like that fits your character. Yeah You have a 45 1911. That's what you said, right? Uh, yeah, I said whatever whatever the
[00:15:31] 1975 standard issue police weapons. Well if my knowledge of Magnum pi is anything which is the 80s, but close enough I would say yeah, 19 for a 1911 would sound like a nice big uh caliber round weapon and that would be
[00:15:53] You know, this thing's pretty big. But anyway, I also want to point this out to you to you all Uh, you know, we have time travel But we also have preparedness and stuff like that. So if like say for example, you wanted an elephant gun
[00:16:07] You could you know murder this thing No, no, I just want to get its attention But yeah, I'm gonna get like that would be basically your gun Since gumshoe doesn't go into straight up gun porn and stuff like that. That would be a
[00:16:23] Plus uh one on whatever you wrote All right, let's see what my skills are to figure out what I am in fact rolling Uh Now I want to ask you this real quick too. Like what is the What is the ultimate goal for this? So you're
[00:16:40] shooting something that is big with a pistol like are you What's the big picture here? Like I said, I'm just trying to keep it from bringing that building down. Okay. I'm gonna divert its attention Also, I have seven in shooting so okay And I rolled a five
[00:17:01] A five well this thing right here. It's hit threshold was a four So yeah, so you wrote a five and um row damage Alrighty That's a three. That's a four with a plus one to that
[00:17:16] So yeah, you have just did four damage to the woolly mammoth. You shot that right in the ass And it takes note A new challenger has appeared Come on I say someone appears to have shot me in the ass
[00:17:35] And you save my pdf real quick like I've got like a neat little program here where I just like make Silas, okay, so yeah, so here's I probably I'm gonna give you all this like typically when we do uh combat and time watch. It's a
[00:17:53] Serpentine kind of deal now since you all had the initiative you started first and this thing is turning around I will say that you Also can go again. Now. Here's the thing Whoever goes last Goes first Does that make sense? Yes. No twice good
[00:18:17] That's not how I would Guard it, but sure I think i'm adding a new wrinkle to rick's characterization. He's got a death wish He tried to kill albert Yes Not what they usually mean by death wish He wishes for someone else's death So
[00:18:41] All right, you all have a lot of different options here This thing is I will tell you right now I do have points to spend and athletics to do and stuff like that
[00:18:50] So I am how uh, how far would it be to chase to get this thing to chase us out of ice site? You know smaller town I'd say that it's it looks like a quarter of a mile that if you like turned around and you know
[00:19:06] You took it Had it go a quarter of a mile out it would be out of town so to speak. So it's a little distance, but You also have time travel. Oh, yeah, I forgot I've got him. I had to remember this
[00:19:20] So will you all each start with one bennie? so there's many there's many benefits to the bennies and I want to encourage you all to give each other bennies
[00:19:29] I think the max that any person can have in a time watch game is three bennies. So, you know, typically Like a moment of good role playing then, you know, there's great space for like five of them
[00:19:41] There's five. Okay. Five in I'd have to double. I'm not looking at the characters No, it's five sounds good to me and you could there's many different benefits to I gotta say five You can spend one to get a general ability refresh of two points
[00:19:57] Typically what we use them for is that like say for example, and I'm not telling you what to do here, joe But one of your options would be, you know, you've got a quarter of a mile to make it That's gonna suck but you can time travel
[00:20:10] Like leapfrog it if you wanted to and still be within its line of sight But that's gonna require time test now with the bennie you would You pay the stitch and you don't have to automatically get it. Otherwise, you're growing and then if you fail
[00:20:26] It's gonna mess with your chrono stability And you know, you can also spend chrono stability like you spend sanity, but I'm sorry for All right. So yeah, you about a quarter mile, which I'm also thinking That uh, I'm not sure we can send this thing back in time
[00:20:45] In case it happens to get discovered by some Enterprising archaeologists or yeah, and they discovered that hey this woolly mammoth has been shot with bullets That's a good point because then we got to go back in time and or and kill that archaeologist
[00:21:05] And then he's been shot with lasers Aaron you had mem tags Where you just walk up to somebody like shock them and put a little sticker on them and in Like they will them into time watch headquarters
[00:21:20] Fungal their brain and load them out. You don't have to just go no pop Wait, we're like mem tag this uh, woolly mammoth get them bullets out of it All right, so so you want to you want us to have the woolly mammoth chases for
[00:21:36] About a thousand plus yards Out of town. Yeah, well, that's that's not right That's wild Regardless You want us to have this woolly mammoth chase us a while and knock it out Mem tag it perform surgery and return it to the wild
[00:21:59] Seems like the humane thing to do Don't listen to the gorilla. He's an idealist I like this casual conversation when the woolly mammoth's just bearing down on you're like Rick is smoking a cigarette Okay Maybe if we can lure it back to where it where it originally
[00:22:22] Appeared well, let's start on that and then we could make further decisions as we go along All right I'm gonna ask for an action now. What are you doing? Run run? Okay, so Yep, uh, do you uh, I guess that'd be athletics I'll say it's a difficulty Ah
[00:22:50] There's some debris and stuff like that So with with a athletics point spend you can kind of maneuver around in a path that would also Hamper the mammoth's pursuit of you if you so wanted to Uh, I think I do want to
[00:23:06] I do not want to be gored upon a woolly mammoth. Um My damage modifiers fucking crazy by the way, I imagine it is All right I'm gonna spend two points of athletics. Okay put me down at four who is a leisurely sort of fella
[00:23:24] I rolled a four for a total of six Okay, so yeah you at least you're gonna be in the clear when this son of a bitch gets here Solid Okay, so Albert you have um, you know, you're seeing I'm most calling Teflon. What was his name again?
[00:23:44] Thor fan Thor fan. I don't know why I said Teflon Thor fan takeoff rick standing there They could get the who's murder hard on Yeah, I would uh, I would also like to run the direction that I that I see the uh red dead trail
[00:24:03] I'm gonna look at rick like I think you've got its attention Smoke a cigarette good. Well, that was dramatic by I will spend one okay, do I need to roll anything or yeah? Uh six total. Okay. Yeah like with your added abilities
[00:24:27] I mean you're leaping over the overturned cars You could even if you wanted to scale a building and say fuck these guys, but yeah Uh That might be useful. Yeah, I will I will hop on a building. Okay now advantage point
[00:24:45] All right, so our now excuse me rick. What are you doing buddy? I hope Can I commandeer a vehicle of someone trying to drive by and get away those vehicles have already been like it's You know people you don't patiently wait. I will also
[00:25:03] I strand a civilian by the mammoth exactly Would anyone like a ride away from the dangerous animal? I will also run away. Uh, exactly like a coward Okay, uh, let's see where is athletics? Uh, I want someone to note for the record. I ran away bravely I
[00:25:29] Have nine in athletics And I rolled a three. Uh I'm gonna spin two to make it a five. I mean you typically spend before you know, that's right I forget you have to spend before you roll. All right, so I failed Okay now
[00:25:46] It's gonna get his back. All right So I'm kind of retconning a little bit what I'm doing since like I get two actions But I'm just gonna kind of let's see that my so, you know
[00:25:57] My action was typically my first action. I'm saying was technically took the second. You know, I was shot in the ass But let's see I am going to spin Three in athletics because I really want to get you mother fuckers and that's a nine
[00:26:10] So the first leg of my journey doing good And I guess I might have to break out chase rules here and yeah the second so yep
[00:26:19] What's a lot in the way of me getting from one side of there to the other so by the time rick stumbles away We'll say that I'm one spot behind you rick since I'm entering chase rules at this point in time You are
[00:26:33] Not, you know, I can't attack you but shit's looking grim Gotcha. I've got a plan. It's okay So who would like to act? Um, you guys can go if you want it's cool I Remember if I act last I act twice right so Probably want to insert like
[00:26:55] You know, if I were a smart man rick, I would say rick goes first You know what I was thinking there was a bold strategy You know what I will go first
[00:27:08] I'm going to try and jump through the window of a nearby building so as to take shelter in said building Okay, so you're already on my ass like I don't think I can outrun you You can also time travel
[00:27:27] That's right. I can time travel probably the William Ameth can't Probably that's true. But if he does we're fucked Yeah That feels like cheating though Well, okay, I would either accept multiple things if you had architecture
[00:27:43] I would say that you could spend that and dart into a a building that is Very structurally sound and then if you do not have architecture Then just want to row athletics and you know, I will say that you at least make it into a building and
[00:28:00] You know, it won't be able to sustain too much damage, but it'd be enough to get you out of this round Okay, I don't have architecture so I'm going to use athletics. I'm going to spin two. Okay Uh, let's see I rolled a one so that's a three
[00:28:17] okay well You really had a great idea. I mean you were leaping through that window And you really didn't notice that there was like a really thin kind of chicken wire Islating this glass Oh
[00:28:35] So it's like it cracks you kind of go through it, but not all the way so you know I'm not saying you're half and half. I'm just saying your shoulder and face are smashed up against a cracked glass Oh good. All right, so
[00:28:52] Ray who would like to go next? Uh I will wait to go last. Okay Just just to make sure you don't want me to go next Oh So can I Can I like run
[00:29:11] Back towards because I'm ahead of the rolling man. Can I like run back over some buildings and try and hop on its back And get it to leave baker alone? Yeah, like so what's your I'm curious about your attack with it
[00:29:25] Like what are you particularly gonna like are you just trying to Stow it for a second or are you wanting to hit it with your Strifter what's it called? I'm no I want to I don't want to like like
[00:29:39] Beat the shit out of it. I want to jump jump on its back and try and like steer it away Maybe you know, uh, lean to one side on his fur and
[00:29:48] Okay, you know, I kind of like this. I mean in the future we're going to be bison riders So I was like, but I think I mean I'm a little right
[00:29:56] Mammoth riding too. So yeah, you know what? Why don't you put yourself down for a stitch like even if this fails I think it's beautiful. So yeah, you're trying to steer it away by jumping us back to save the man who is very racist towards you
[00:30:11] That's right. I choose to be the bigger man The bigger gorilla. So what would I say? I mean athletics would be good unless you have something else Outdoorsmen, I mean do you have anything you think could apply to that? I don't have I don't have like outdoor survival
[00:30:30] Um, I do have Intimidation you could do intimidation if you could do taunt you could do whatever. I mean you got a lot of option Just beat your chest at it, you know, like gorillas do. Yeah, I mean I I could do that's gonna scare it
[00:30:46] I guess scuffling would be wouldn't really apply. I guess I will I will take well, I would accept scuffling Yeah, okay So I mean you're you kind of see this going so yeah scuffling I will say this though
[00:30:59] I do get in my next action will be to try to buck you off if this succeeds that sounds logical Okay All right, uh spend a point of intimidation. I look at dead in the eye I
[00:31:15] Bend a point of scuffling so that'll be uh four four. Yeah, you take a big run leave It's big. I mean it's not like you're trying to hit a motorcycle Yeah, so yeah, you jump on his back and there right what it looks like please
[00:31:29] uh, so I like Galt full speed backwards and I run and jump towards it and I like catches fur and like Swing up onto it like you use the the fur as a fulcrum and like swing up
[00:31:44] Onto the neck of the thing and then I fall down the other side To like pull him away from that building Okay, because presumably he's bearing down on the building with baker in it. Yeah, right? Yeah. Yeah So baker you see all this
[00:31:59] But uh right I'm gonna do since you're kind of you've fulcrum your side from one side of its neck to the other Is going to try to like shake you off slash maybe run into a building
[00:32:11] I have no idea how to do this. So you say I'm gonna say that's coupling on my end. All right, so And that's a one Yeah, so yeah your gamble paid off you release out of a bitch Yeah, you're you're dangling from it right now by god like
[00:32:28] He got kind of tripped up in a light pole couldn't make it quite over there So yeah, good job. Shout down baker go I didn't need your help and I'll run off Wow Do you see gel? See what I have to put up with Thor fan
[00:32:49] What it be Thor fan, you know occasionally glancing over a shoulder sees that here's I didn't need your help Stop turns around it says Wow And then he's gonna attempt to kill this woolly man. Okay, whoa What are we using? Uh, I'm gonna spend a point of preparedness
[00:33:14] And let's see how many points have I got I've got six I can spend one And I'm going to have an elephant gun. Okay, so well it's it's been in a row
[00:33:24] Okay, so I will say you know pretty much the target number in gum shoe typically is a four four Yeah, all right for exactly barely No, you know, you think you think back and you're like thank god they said mammoth so yeah
[00:33:41] This uh very heavy duty gun. I'm going to treat it as a heavy assault rifle And that's basically you're getting a plus two. All right now if you get closer there's I think is How would I'm close enough? Okay
[00:33:57] I'm gonna spend three points of shooting and um, yeah, I'm gonna I'm gonna blast this thing. All right Uh, I rolled a three plus three six Awesome, and let's go ahead and do that damage. Okay, yeah damage
[00:34:12] Five five so seven. Yeah, do some yeah, you definitely rocket. I am glad you didn't critically fail I wasn't really mentioning that Like a one would have been a different target you hit. Yeah
[00:34:29] So yeah, uh, yeah, you rock it right in the as it's trying to rub on its right side to knock Albert off you rockets left so boom and it's a sizable hunk of it comes out and um This year all turns again. So whoever wants to act next
[00:34:47] um I will go next And I will shoot at it again because apparently with his pop gun Kill the shit out of this thing Um, you're pretty fucking close to it. I do want to point that out
[00:35:03] Tell you what I'm also going to use a point of preparedness I now have an m16 Okay In 45 Yes Okay, I'm a time traveler I will also recruit that as a plus two if you get that All right, I just choose an rpg
[00:35:24] Because that's no fun. That doesn't require any skill. I don't have to aim that I'm pretty sure it would help though. Yeah I mean it would fire at your feet see what happens
[00:35:35] You don't even have to aim it the other problem is the gorilla is on the things back so So I will spend a point of preparedness Uh and that is a seven with my one Okay And now I'm going to shoot
[00:35:50] Okay, I also do want to point out to you guys that you can also Um, there's we there's bonuses to like college shots and stuff like that but there's increased difficulty Shooting stuff or hitting it. But yeah, go ahead row your damage Six
[00:36:07] Yeah, so you just put this pepper its entire right flank the I'm sure I'm sure you went full on that. Yeah. Yeah, okay. It bellows out in pain It lets it's torn in many directions. It doesn't know what to do
[00:36:25] But you're the most immediate thing so it's kind of you get the impression that you're next on the menu Because it's starting to turn around but it's not quite my action until you all tell me it's my action Who's still alive, huh? Yeah, it's still up apparently
[00:36:43] I'm gonna shoot the elephant again. I mean, yes, I'm gonna say I'm shooting the elephant again Okay, did everyone hear me? Yes, it's just an elephant the elephant In the room, I'm gonna spend my last point of shooting so that I guarantee I won't shoot my gorilla friend
[00:37:05] Okay, uh four plus one is five. You're good And a sad one for damage. That's a three so a glancing blow so you You shoot it Okay, so that's another It's starting to like look really bloody so
[00:37:25] Albert is it me or is it you because you know, it's you bud. It's me powered all right, so Thank you I am going to try to hit you with my trunk. All right, so Two athletics that's a six so eight So I'm going to hit see
[00:37:47] All right, rick you are getting smacked with the trunk for Four damage so you go crashing through that window that you tried to jump through All right, we got it So I took four damage. Yeah
[00:38:04] Gotcha technically the trunk the trunk is the least important thing I could hit you with I appreciate that there's task in feet. Yeah, I wish this character sheet would let me uh edit how much health I have
[00:38:18] But it is way not interested in letting me do that. So please took four damage, right? Yeah, all right Okay, Albert Uh, see I would like to Do I see from this vantage point? Where the exact like dropping point might have been
[00:38:38] No, it's it's going out of town Oh, okay Uh You can see that it goes past where for fan is and just winding out Can I I try and lead it back to where
[00:38:55] Or you want to actually drive it? Yeah. All right, you're gonna try to drive it out of town. Yeah Yeah, how are you gonna do that? I'm good Man, you know, you play so many of these games and it's like driving is a skill apparently not now
[00:39:11] Not this game Vehicles No vehicles is a skill which I don't have You know if you wanted to just fucking just hop up on his head and just Grab his ears and just steer
[00:39:30] I would say that will be a hard check, but you will just like keep driving it out of town Do that be a athletics? Yeah, I would accept athletics for that. Okay I will spend a point and uh Use your mighty gorilla strength
[00:39:51] That'd be a total of three Yeah, not quite. I mean you get up there you write yourself where you're not going to get Smushed up against the side of a building But no what if I spend a stitch Okay, let's see I don't know if it's gonna
[00:40:10] Isn't that like an auto pass kind of thing? I'm looking at the quick start rule, you know for for the uh for the sake of Expediency and you know, I'm fine with it. We'll say the day you can if you want to go ahead and spend that
[00:40:23] I will okay, so yeah, you have You thought you lost it you spent your imaginary stitch And boom you're like he's charging forward incidentally toward uh Thor fan, but Yeah charging forward role play Yes Thor fans going to get out of the way
[00:40:44] Let's not get trampled by a mammoth Yeah, that I shot many times So if you wanted to like this is athletics, but this could also be if you wanted to be Unobtrusive so
[00:40:56] You know he's like the mammoth's bucking and kicking and trying to you know charging forward at a blind rage You can just Yeah, I will spend two points of unobtrusiveness. Okay, and I believe that's a general abilities. You want to look for that? Look I rolled a one
[00:41:16] You kind of remember the man it shots you with two Yeah That's the guy who shot me twice Ah, who would like to go next? I suppose I'll shoot at the mammoth again Rick, please explain. I I want you to narrate this for me before you roll
[00:41:36] Like you're all right. So you just cry crash through reinforced glass You're bleeding like how's this look to the mind's eye? I'm gonna Climb back through the broken glass I'm gonna shake the blood out of my face. I'm gonna spit some blood out possibly a tooth. Who knows
[00:41:57] And I'm gonna go is that all you get and then I'm gonna aim and shoot don't roll one. Okay Okay You know for a narration. Yeah, I'll just give you everybody feel like give each other stitches
[00:42:13] I'll give you one there and that's that beautiful narration. I rolled a six So And also sticking to your guns regardless of the So, yeah, go ahead and uh, give it to me. What what's the damage?
[00:42:28] I wish I had rolled the one but that's not important right now Wow It would have been narratively interesting Oh, what is it? Beginning of the game Two I rolled a two two damage four damage Sill up, but you pepper that ass Wow, that's just like real life
[00:42:49] Here You know every shot you pulled off on this thing except for the sides If you've been Oh, boy It's a weak point. Hey, this is supposed to be a good christian podcast Joe you sold on Joe you listen to this before you join this podcast
[00:43:09] You've seen me in person. You know what you're kidding just like last night Jesus is like I didn't ask to be born, but anyway Anyway, uh, so yeah, you've did damage now, uh, Albert Me or you? Go Second note. Yeah, no
[00:43:31] You go twice either way we go we like go twice, right? All right, you yeah, so, you know if I go now then you guys keep keep going if I go next
[00:43:44] Then I'm gonna take an action and I'm gonna take another action. Yeah, I mean letting them go Like taking it all our actions before the mammoth is a good idea If everybody is on board with killing the mammoth and think they can do it this time
[00:43:58] But not everybody is on board with that so I would like to steer this bad boy out of town All right, so uh, yeah, I would accept either uh, you're already up there. You go have control You go please Difficulty four It is your turn. All right
[00:44:27] I'm going to try to sling you off my back And I am gonna spend two athletics And I wrote a four so Albert Oh
[00:44:37] Wait, let's listen to me for a moment. I'm like tumbling and for a second. I like lock eyes with a bird and we share a moment And then I hit a car God and let's see how much damage you did
[00:44:53] I'm paid that this is a yeah, we'll just say this too damaged like you went down kind of hard I added a medic a negative modifier to it. I mean you got armor
[00:45:04] I think I double checked does that actually do what does the armor do did I fuck anybody out? What's your say? Uh, Joe, what's it been a fit of the armor? Does it get like a plus? Let's take a look Armor of one I also have one armor
[00:45:20] Yeah, I mean let's just take one damage Albert and Aaron. Let's say you took three instead of four All right sounds good so Albert now your your your plans have changed you're kind of left behind the mammoth as it keeps charging Towards Thor fan
[00:45:39] Who is now going to shoot the mammoth in line with his original intentions Albert hasn't went yet though. That's so technical he hasn't dang it Can I uh get up off this this car grab the hood of it and like whip it forward like to
[00:45:58] Like underneath its foot to like slow it down so it like slips you're trying to banana peel it. Yeah God damn it. I've already given you one. I've already given you one stitch Wait wait, are you ripping a hood off of a car? Yeah it
[00:46:16] My defense of this he did just land on it and fuck with the structural integrity of it so Yeah, he's he's also a gorilla Oh, that's true. I am very strong What are you uh spending or doing?
[00:46:32] Um, just throwing something in a moving target seems like shooting right? I almost tempted to ask for two checks on that just one to see if you can rip it off and the other the
[00:46:46] Sling it it seems like it's kind of two actions really do it adam test him Make him earn it our hinges and shit So it's can you you want to see if you can get the hood first? Yeah, would that be athletics?
[00:46:59] Yeah, athletics. I mean you could roll it base Or you could spend points or whatever I will spend one I do want to point something out to you or you could spend a point of time travel and um
[00:47:11] You're gonna go back in the future and you can come back to this place and go ahead and loosen the hood of the um Car you could also hide a submachine gun in the in the motor of the car
[00:47:23] I mean that's how this stuff works guys like don't forget your time points You can pretty much like as long as you haven't like say albert opens a hood and looks in it and doesn't see a bazooka then
[00:47:35] Okay, he doesn't like you don't have to do like a Chrono stability paradox test as long as you don't know that this is the way something is you can do that
[00:47:44] So you have to just want to go ahead and do the athletics, but don't forget you got time travel Uh, could I time travel and like actually take my time? Take the hood off and put it down where he's going to step in advance
[00:47:58] Yeah, so you could do this one different way you can make a time check Or you could just you already have you have one stitch left. You can just go ahead and spin that and There you go. I believe I have two stitches left because
[00:48:11] It's right. Yeah another one. Um, however What do you think that would be chrono stability? Yeah, I'm trying to double check always fuck it up because there's timecraft which is not yet Oh, yeah, here is timecraft. I think it's chrono stability should be chrono stability
[00:48:26] I don't know what else it would be chrono timecraft is actually understanding how time travel works Yeah, like investigative time travel stuff That's what we'll be using to figure out where this goddamn mammoth came from
[00:48:38] Yeah, oh you already know where it came from. You just got to follow the trail So That's a three Three I'd accept that for this. I mean this seems fairly Easy enough. Oh, so you're not you're not spinning this stitch
[00:48:59] Okay, if you if you want to throw I wasn't okay. That's fine. Oh shit I mean time travel rules real quick You guys have caught me you kind of stumped me here for a second. I have to look at the book here on
[00:49:11] On the failed, uh, I think it's I think you're basically you roll damage You're going to take chrono stability damage So Roll me roll again Two all right This is a So on top of doing that I want you to take Um
[00:49:30] I think it's three. I think if i'm reading this right, I'll have to I may double check it later Give yourself three points of chrono stability like take it off So you do it but you know
[00:49:43] You're feeling kind of woozy a woozy so to speak you're you're kind of not as tethered As you once were to this reality You don't have to start worrying about shit till you get down to negative numbers Yeah
[00:49:55] So yeah, so god, how do I roll the damage of a hood was figure this out Didn't think you'd have to do this today Yeah, no I didn't but that's what I love about this game. You just got to kind of run with it
[00:50:08] So I did row a six So Fuck so here's what we're gonna say happens like slings you off Boom you land on the hood of a car. No, you don't land on the hood of a car You land on a fucking engine block
[00:50:23] Because the hood of the car The hood of the car is in the middle of the road and it hits So that would be That would be a paradox if I take the same hood off. So I would have to take a different hood off
[00:50:38] Yeah, I didn't catch it. I should have caught that before That's why i'm just retconning and say that there wasn't a hood there beforehand Oh, that's my fault like we're not going to go back and fix this stuff
[00:50:48] We'll just we'll keep that in mind if you enough to just be like there's another car like next to it Yeah, and you know what? It doesn't matter. I just wanted to say you landed on the engine block and it sounds fun
[00:50:59] But yeah, so it sounds like a lot of fun So it's running it hits that the hood shoots out to the left right past Thor fan as it's kicked out As the woolly mammoth goes looting to the right
[00:51:16] And slams face first through a building and the building general goods Buildings first collapsing around it's upper torso part of it. Yeah the general good store the sears row buck. It's fucked up Not the sears. We're even getting our portraits taken
[00:51:35] It's still it's still stirring, but I will say this you guys have got like a nice little It's still trying to dig its way out of the debris Thanks to albert's noble sacrifice So right How do you want to do this?
[00:51:51] You know what looking at his health tell Uh Thor fan rick. How do you all execute this poor little defenseless? out of time out of place woolly mammoth It's not poor little or defenseless
[00:52:05] Therefore I empty the remainder of my ammunition into it until it is very clearly dead Yeah, I'm just gonna shoot I'm gonna shoot it till chunks are flying off Now that's a little gory
[00:52:20] Albert you really weren't disturbed when they started shooting it but effort was clearly dead and rick slashed in another magazine and rock I had stopped by that point Look, I think it's dead rick. You cannot take vengeance upon the dead you want some of this Rick calm down
[00:52:45] Forget it rick. It's china town I don't understand what you mean by that. I don't I don't either. Um, okay I won't throw the gun to the side Vic. You're right I'm sorry Good ridin monkey man. You throw your anachorism to the ground. Yes
[00:53:04] Yes, just leave that. Do you like to take that with you? Yes, please I Will it was my understanding you would uh, you had done this sort of thing before Look
[00:53:18] I've been a Thor fan. I've been on this beat a long time. I've seen things you can understand That's a little insulting We'll say this scene's officially over with the combat obviously so What is the direction so?
[00:53:39] You know town people are starting to come out of buildings right now slowly hesitantly, um, albert I really don't know How to decide if someone made made you on this from your leaping up a building
[00:53:56] So why don't you do me this? Why don't you roll d6 and give me Why don't you get real d6 and try to give me an even because it's an unobtrusiveness role maybe
[00:54:06] No, it's like we can't wreck on that like did anyone notice you this is just this is even in the rules I just like i'm saying you had a 50-50 shot at somebody was peeking at the moment as you went up the building or
[00:54:18] Left off the building. All right Who that is even? Yep, man. They were hunkered down like motherfuckers I bet Oh man, I was kind of hoping somebody would come out and say hey that guy climbs like a gorilla
[00:54:36] I think that guy's a gorilla and everyone's like what the fuck if I ever play this game instead of running it I'm gonna play chicken boo That would make me so happy adam You just gotta wear this guy so they think you're a human guy
[00:54:53] I'm not a man. I'm a chicken boo. Yeah, anyway seven seven chickens in a trench coat Jesus christ My wife is closed the door on me in the room I can't say I blame her So what do you all want to do?
[00:55:15] I think we should follow the trail of destruction. I think we should mobilize the town first Probably yes, you would that Wait, we should what the town first? We should wipe their memories While they're all still here
[00:55:33] First time well, I don't know. There's a lot of people. I thought you said like sterilize the town With fire We should sterilize all these people no, no, that's I used to Where I'm from That's a different meaning. Ah, it's a future. Uh, that's not what I said
[00:55:59] Well, you said where you're from so LA oh my god Anyway, I'm done. Sorry Well So We have to deal with memory wife Like do we just have some like men in black shit where we just zap them then
[00:56:18] Well, you you've got a pat like all right. So you have timecraft, right? Litistically, you're looking at a town full of people and like on the streets at least 10 or 15 And you also have the mammoth size holes and things So it's like with your knowledge of timecraft
[00:56:35] I'll give you this like the best thing to do is like right now if you wanted to investigate the scene in any sort of way The best way to fix this is to prevent this from happening with time travel paradox
[00:56:49] Yeah, you'll have to you'll have to make a paradox test because you know that the mammoth was here and you know that uh You shot it most of you, but I mean That's the most efficient way. I don't think i'm gonna role play out
[00:57:05] You've chased it down 15 or 20 people and putting stickers on their heads and waiting Oh, that's the only we don't have any like visual way to do that
[00:57:15] No, it's like you basically stun them tag them and then somebody from time watch picks up the signal and then they just come back and Well, could we just say all right everyone who saw the the attack, you know, we're gonna give you
[00:57:29] This this item. Please hold on to it and somebody from local fish wildlife service is going to come along and interview you about what happened here It's not a bad idea. We also tried and convinced and there was a gas leak
[00:57:43] It's a gas leak and then a weather balloon crashed into a bunch of building you You've hallucinated the the entire uh Dripping balls like Jesus Yeah, my god Yes, it's i'm your i'm your all's biggest fan. So like sell me on this like
[00:58:02] They typically got to be stationary to get the tag. So do you um, I mean, so when you say tag Like what is it actually? What is the item? I always envisioned it with the mem tags
[00:58:15] I always kind of envisioned it is what the chip of a credit card looks like about that size All right, it doesn't have to be embedded necessarily, right? I've always heard them being listed as being tagged. Like, you know, you would tag an animal
[00:58:28] Okay, like there's there's a margin for error because you know, you could you could write off a couple people's being coops Yeah, like i'm willing to accept two or three coops We could also good cooke ratio murder down No, we can't murdering everyone all the time
[00:58:50] Anyway, I'm gonna look at the uh, I'm gonna lean in I want to In the face. I was a professional murderer murder is not a good a wholesale offer I wasn't in as much murder do like what? That's a good point
[00:59:07] You murder in small batches you keep it rare. It's a special thing God artisanal murder. Yes Okay, so I'll tell you what I'll I'll work with you on this if you like I'll just get you started
[00:59:21] You tell me how you want to do it as I as I glance over these abilities that you have And I'm gonna you know, we can kind of hand wave this with your descriptive Some of it with your descriptive role playing but you know with say with a
[00:59:37] Good disguise check you could appear to be Military people you could and I would also say for a So it's the interpersonal abilities. I mean, I would take Any number authority bureaucracy
[00:59:53] I was thinking it's already authority like you can get to go ahead and start gathering people up for Right. All right. Everybody who saw the elephant gather here Statements we're gonna take your statements. We're gonna provide you with a receipt and there's gonna be follow-ups
[01:00:08] You know, we're gonna provide all the receipt numbers to the to the newspaper people and if they want to interview you They can they'll know who you are It's all fine. We've got this handled You know But we're gonna follow up after that
[01:00:24] I'm gonna pull a uh a new york detective nothing to see here Just go where the man tells you it's an escaped elephant from the zoo Hey, I see you eyeballing me you get in line
[01:00:36] So those of you engaged in this portion of this if you could give me a disguise check I will say I'm asking for I guess I might have to do multiple checks I want a disguise so I could do and then you just do an authority spent
[01:00:49] I'm gonna do an authority spend Okay, and I'll spend some points out of disguise for the disguise check I got five on my disguise check. Okay. All right. Let me roll it here
[01:01:01] I get a seven perfect. So you've got them Albert. Do you have any like this is just a suggestion Do I do you have any tinkering or anything like that? Yeah, yeah, I have uh points in where the
[01:01:14] Uh six points in tinkering, you know that um that pacifier you got it could be all right Like with with a nice enough tinkering check it could be a um, they could knock out a whole bunch of people at one time
[01:01:27] Hmm. Yeah, right. We just need to get them all in line Yeah, we're like I mean you do you want to Oh, thank you. My daughter just handed me a pierce anthony book Nice. No terry brux my bad terry brux but um
[01:01:45] Well, is it later terry brux? It's earlier terry brux like the tangled box Magic cave of land over still in his still in his early shinara ripping off Tolkien territory This isn't shinara. All right Get a pass. All right Commentator building if you want to
[01:02:04] Role play that out. Yeah all right So I will stand next to uh Fuck Thor fan. Yeah, I wanted I wanted to call you Thor forge, but that's not right By the way green check for out of four got a four. Yeah
[01:02:21] Yeah, I say that yeah you wherever you want to do it. And by the way, I won't interject all the time on that I just kind of I want you know, just know the sky's the limits on some of this stuff
[01:02:31] And if you get too far off track, I'm gonna zig you from time Quantum leaps and say no you got to do this or be here like so. Gotcha. Uh Yeah, so I'm just gonna help uh Thor fan look everybody over here in the building
[01:02:47] Sir, where are you going getting the building? Official police business getting the building now. I do need to spend on that Aaron. All right windows are lighting up from the Oh, fuck I don't have any authority can I spend bureaucracy?
[01:03:06] Yeah, I mean you're you're giving them police mumbo jumbo All right, I'm gonna spend I have three bureaucracy. I'm gonna spend two. No, you just spend one Okay, well then I'm gonna spend one now. My daughter just handed me a shadow run novel Progressive getting worse
[01:03:23] Yeah, your taste is being revealed She's not paying to be Michael moorkock. I'm equipped dictating why my daughter hands me So why don't you all tell so why don't you tell me how this scene ends?
[01:03:35] Everybody just tell we have a beautiful story for me. All right. I figure we get everybody in the building Uh, you know, we've given them the tags They get you know, wide wide beam pacified
[01:03:47] You tag them up, you know, basically the whole town gets removed to time watch central And Yeah, the only difference Is it's an elephant instead of a wooly mammoth and boy who knew elephants could do this much damage crazy They're a damn menace. Yeah
[01:04:08] We should we never did find the uh, the circus the circus, uh train this one escaped from yeah shame But okay mission accomplished so As you go through at least the main street just like yes, sir. Did you witness the blah blah blah? Oh, yeah come with me
[01:04:31] Bug zapper Like their door closes and there's a sound Bzz When those light up and you know, what was that often it's like the sound you hear It's almost like the sound you hear at a slaughterhouse. It's like the kachunk
[01:04:47] Except not except without the you know, the thing going into a cow's head That's what we avoided Yeah, like why does that keep happening breaker flip? I don't know firing's bad, you know, we didn't know
[01:05:02] Now who was who was saying the wooly man? It was an elephant wooly mammoth like I mean, who was which character was saying that That'll be thurfan Thurfan give yourself another stitch because i'm assuming you're that's what you're telling
[01:05:14] Yes, people from time watch to program. I just just make it an elephant. It's the easiest possible change Awesome, so beautiful that one guy who thinks elephants are a lion wooly mammoths are real That's fine that guy is already conspiracy theorist, so
[01:05:32] He thought that before this happened. Yeah, so yeah, this is this is looking pretty good. So Albert got him stacked like cork wood in a back room All right, so you've neutralized the tail
[01:05:49] Look we did what had to be done. It's for the greater good and no one Needed to die Exactly to die exactly it was all nice and squeaky clean aboveboard
[01:06:03] Still feel like the humane thing to do would have been to release it into the wild but yeah, it's because it wasn't charging at you He was on its back That was his choice Who would like to talk about bad choice? Albert I admire your uh
[01:06:21] Idealism, but sometimes you've just got to shoot an animal See what I want to do a campaign with these guys show Is that a warning? I'm just gonna look at Thorfinn just steeley eyed puff on a cigarette if it has to be
[01:06:37] So data that you have make me stood you you would be removed from society for mental defects are in the 31st century I mean we'd have made you into a vegetable like a long time ago Something that is uh, there is some disconnect in your brain
[01:06:59] Look, I've seen I'm from the 1970s. I've seen the worst humanity has to offer If you heard of this Ronald Reagan fella, that was the 80s. I know but he's still around in the 70s adam
[01:07:13] He's the governor of california in the 70s. Exactly, but I'm familiar with his work of Rick rick watches the news. Anyway, it's not important like the fucking epilogue for this guy
[01:07:24] Is this gonna be he's gonna go unhinged to be trying to travel forward to be the guy behind the harambe thing, right? It's like Ethan Not jack Lee Harvey is like the RV as well as watching watching the motorcade from the building except I'm watching
[01:07:53] The gorilla from behind the barricade and I see the toddler and I know that's my moment In fact you time travel to toddler it to the pit Wow, oh real monster Well, you know what? Why don't we play time-watch guys? All right
[01:08:11] Yeah, let's play some time-watch. Okay, so you do you do have the path that you can go. I'm trying to see for um, yeah, so How you do have a skill Ethan notice Well, the search skill is notice like you know sometimes that
[01:08:28] Like I thought there was something but those are just point spins. They don't modify rows. Anyway So, yeah, do you want to Follow the trail of chrono radiation as you follow the mammoth trail out of town? You can track you know as you keep going and you're
[01:08:46] You kind of wish you'd stolen that car But you had like you haven't but you you walk for several several several miles I'm back. Okay. Oh, I didn't realize you
[01:08:58] Fucking forgot when I got home. I was I was like on my timetable to take these antibiotics and I just remember like ah shit The fucking eight hour ones. I don't know what it is like 12 hours. I can do like clockwork
[01:09:11] Easy, that's half a day. Yeah, exactly you take them out like take them out like before you go to bed Take them when you uh, you lunch. It's pretty easy and the eight hour ones It's like I gotta do all this fucking math I don't blame you
[01:09:25] It does suck. So as you guys for are following the trail It's it's a long kind of meandering it goes on for several several miles Even to the point that the day passes You camp out you keep going and uh, you eventually, you know, the the air
[01:09:42] I don't know. Let's see air is getting a little bit, you know, you're the radiation is getting stronger And um, yeah, let me see you are Uh, let's see. Here's what you see. So you're out in the desert gully
[01:09:56] It's isolated nothing out there but you and the shrubbery and everything like that and uh, you see This looks like a tear if that makes sense like in the in reality And with your timecraft a bill like knowledge of timecraft you recognize this as a
[01:10:16] You know a rip in the spacetime fabric So you see a big hole I'd like to think of it as more of a big gash That's woolly mammoth size at least and uh, you know with your notice
[01:10:31] You don't you do actually notice a couple of little rodents and stuff like that that are scurrying around that don't look like They belong out in the desert Other stuff that has went through this, uh tear in the spacetime fabric. Can we close it?
[01:10:44] Question number one. Yeah, so here's your options that you You could I would accept a um, you could spend a point to either You know completely sell it or open it up even further and go through it if you wanted to but
[01:10:57] Let's see can uh, would anybody be uh be willing to uh, how would you what would you investigate this scene with? So you do see the rip you do see a couple little varmints that's got out nothing is big
[01:11:08] And stuff like that. What would anything you all want to try to do besides close it up just yet? Uh, uh, maybe like I don't you don't want to like Anything up and leave something behind
[01:11:20] Could we like maybe send like a small like put a small camera through? Yeah What's out there if there's anything on the other side that bears investigating That's a solid idea. Yeah That sounds good. Yeah, I'd say if you give me a preparedness. Okay Difficulty
[01:11:42] Uh seven sweet. So yeah, you have uh a little Time drone that you can send all the like you can send through and it's given a direct feed to your autocron Which I would even say with your with our futuristic space technology
[01:11:58] You even have a set of glasses that kind of do an augmented reality kind of deal that you know You can see all this stuff. Hmm. Anybody else want to check stuff? Uh, I'm gonna check out those little rodents. Oh, let's see what's going on there
[01:12:13] Yeah, okay. So how would you want to try to track down the little rodents like I would accept, you know, for example and again suggest stuff to me I don't want to just tell you how I would do it but like you could do
[01:12:26] You know, do you have outdoorsman? That would be like an obvious thing Let's find out or you know, they would also have the uh radiation I would take if you spent a point of time craft
[01:12:36] Um, where even is outdoorsman? I don't see that. Oh, there it is. Uh, I don't But I do have Timecraft so how many points of that do you have just our curiosity five? Okay, I have only one
[01:12:51] Yeah, I took like two of that go ahead and give me that's if I still has a job Look, you know a lot about time travel. What can we say doing doing this job for so many years wears on you? Anyway, uh
[01:13:08] So am I making a roll for that? Oh, Adam Well, I have spent my point I will say along with yeah, you can track down the animals and we all know how you track down these animals when you track down the animals, don't we? Uh, yeah extreme prejudice
[01:13:27] I Follow them down Or track them down and I will stun one with my A Passifier. Oh, well, it's obviously you got them all that's fine. But here's what here's something else you do notice
[01:13:43] Yeah, you're picking up their levels and you you know what rick? I haven't given you a stitch yet For you not going out and just fucking killing something You know, yeah, buddy. This is you it's a better time. I had a stitch there, buddy Alrighty
[01:13:58] Sure could use a Miller highlight right now It's a shot on your beers Oh boy We're gonna class this place up to sell that patreon money
[01:14:12] Beers on me guys. All right, so here's what you do pick up along with the animals that you new patreon level beers on you Thanks guys We will buy good shit. Well, just like We're drinking swill and bitch about it. We'll keep christen hobo beer
[01:14:29] You pick up a larger signal of chrono instability. So Oh the radiation, excuse me. So you're You know, you're picking up the little guys and then you start noticing that there's like a larger amount that's bleeding away from the north of it and
[01:14:46] Do you have any is there a science skill if you guys got a science skill? Uh, I have science My points of it You want to you want to rub some science on something for us here? Cool science this shit out of whatever you want, baby
[01:15:02] You did a little bit of trig and you can kind of get the the general vicinity of like on the map of where this radiation is coming from So you're able to Trigonometry and I can tell the general vicinity this radiation is coming from
[01:15:17] Oh, can you it looks like it's about a half hour's walk from the rift's location Looks like it's about a half hour's walk from the wrist location Well then let's go come on Thorfinn
[01:15:29] Well, we also so what else you all want to do so we've got the other site You've got the drone. Do you want to do you want to follow through with the drone right now? I want to at least see what shows up on the immediate
[01:15:41] vicinity of that portal. Okay. Yeah, just make sure What's going on where and make sure it all goes to like one time. I think would be pretty important Yeah, so do you intend for this thing to come back? Yes What are you looking for?
[01:15:59] What are you scanning for in general? So I will tell you for you know, just off hand when you go through the You see the holocene period you see like the
[01:16:11] You know not quite I say you see ice is starting to rescind kind of deal. There's a forest There's you know snow cat mountains in the background There's like you don't see any people or anything like that. What are you looking for with your drone with this?
[01:16:25] I just want to see if there's something there like that may have been directly responsible or Even just anything that might wander through while we're not looking it will have to be like
[01:16:35] It was an act of just a regular tiger not a saber to a tiger guys don't want to repeat of this, you know I'll be something you would look for okay. So okay So just my life or other anachronism even though even though they should show up
[01:16:50] We should someone should get notified I want to make sure I'll take I'll take a point spend to be their notice or Timecraft all right, whichever one you want to go like it will basically dictate what you see I will spend some notice And wanted notice okay, so
[01:17:09] You start You start dearing off looking around you don't see anything like In a vicinity that looks like it would beachronistic to this time period and stuff like that
[01:17:20] Everything you run across a few animals a bit of gigantic sloth here and there. I don't know what other animals existed And I'm gonna start naming off stuff from my sage. There's a manning But what you do pick up is you start picking up more the chrono radiation
[01:17:36] Of stuff that has been you know affected by time travel And you end up taking the drone Right, you're starting to get to the limits of your abilities here But you see a looks something that definitely does not belong there
[01:17:52] You see a gigantic looking kind of compound. You can't get too much closer looks like the wall is about 12 meters maybe You see a gigantic crane It looks like you see some kind of hoop thing hanging off of the crane
[01:18:09] And that's about all you can see with his uh, the what you as far as you go with the drone if you want to get it back Gotcha, I will let everyone else know what I saw. Okay I will call the I guess call the drone back. Okay
[01:18:24] So Yeah, so we have radiate chrono radiation here. We have chrono radiation there You have a rip in space time. Where do you want to investigate? Probably the rift can wait just a bit while we clean up this side Yeah, oh rick's just grabbing rodents and just
[01:18:46] I'm just yeeting them back through the portal Rick, I don't think that's fine. I thought it'd be all right Fine, that's just a regular rabbit not a velocirabbit. Uh, okay What could an armadillo hurt? It just carried what bubot like do they carry leprosy? That's armadillos
[01:19:11] Didn't I say armadillo? She said rabbit's my bed. It's all good, but uh rabbits are carry The body plague it's pretty fucking middle, but okay just y'all tell me where you want to go real play it out Do what you want um I think we want to
[01:19:31] If we can set something up to scare people away from the rifts or at least random animals Well, you can rip like you I'll even say with the drone like you've even got the markings over this place is in space and in time
[01:19:45] So if you wanted to go ahead and close the rift up you can use your autocrons to travel there So it it if yeah for a point of timecraft or somebody wants to go ahead and close that
[01:19:56] Oh, okay, and then you could just use your own stuff to get there. You're not dependent upon it Rick you've got an insane amount of timecraft. I do Well, it's adam's weird rodent noise. Sorry So i'm going to
[01:20:16] Lead i'm going to close the rift first when you just spend the timecraft point for that. Yeah just spend it so How do you what does it look like rift? Don't vanilla us buddy Uh
[01:20:27] So it's just like a big tear right like a big glowing tear I guess yeah uh I'm gonna seal it like Like i'm welding something like you just hold gonna hold the autocron up and just like hit a button and it just I like it. It just starts
[01:20:46] sealing up A big welding time back together. I like it. Yes. All right Beautiful scene I've kind of think of this scene in aliens where they're welding the door shut but But yeah, so you've accomplished that now
[01:21:05] Oh, you guys I say we go investigate the source of the radiation same. I agree Let us away All right trump off in that direction. Okay, so you were Uh, okay, so yeah, you are going to go ahead and uh walk north About 30 minutes as you keep going
[01:21:30] uh Here's what you see the You can you can see the tower Scratch that you can see something like the legs of something Standing before you actually get to a closer outline. I mean closer upon it. So, you know
[01:21:47] You're walking you see these like four little like legs sticking up and as you get closer You start noticing a perimeter of fence You see way off in the distance like It's like some kind of structure like a bungalow a dugout kind of
[01:22:04] Concrete thing to your I guess it'd be your left as you're approaching the scene and to your right you see a couple buildings and All types of military personnel on the ground and just four standing legs And that's it
[01:22:20] For standing legs. Yeah, like think water tower legs. Oh, okay. I thought you meant like osmandias legs No So it's like it's like if a tower it looks like if a tower had been sheared off from like
[01:22:34] Yeah, okay, I'm gonna put it off the ground. Do any of you all have I would take, you know, what kind of history do you have ancient? I have Some kind of history do I have so I recognize the osamandias reference That is all
[01:22:52] Probably be contemporary. I hope don't have it. Oh, but I know who osamandias was I have contemporary history at five. That's why I still employed. Okay. God damn it Okay, so
[01:23:07] Tell you what if you gave me a point spend I can give you more if you want to go ahead and spend one I Will spend one point of contemporary history. Okay You are standing at the site of where the Manhattan project took place Oh
[01:23:26] So on july of 1945 Jay robert oppenheimer and the Manhattan project tested their first atomic bomb which in contemporary history Uh, they exploded it near the white sands deserts. I where you're at Um, you know while there was a ton of people working on it
[01:23:45] Like no one really this is i'm saying with your point spend you actually knew what to look up on your autocron as well So it's just not you had insight necessarily in psychopedia
[01:23:55] Of course, if you were you know in your 30s in the 70s and stuff that happened in the 40s would not be too You know wouldn't be out of your real house anyway But you know a lot of people ended up working on the Manhattan project like even
[01:24:09] 30 000 people though not everyone knew exactly what they were working on They were just focused on pieces and elements of it and you know that On to july 16th. It was 1945 it was successfully tested and after that the this decision led to truman
[01:24:29] Going ahead and giving the okay to bomb japan with the atomic bomb now what you're seeing It's not that you're not seeing what was known as the gadget. It is actually passed July it is
[01:24:42] We'll even say that actually I got it wrong. This is actually july 16th now since it was a day Kind of off here this place should be irradiated that building should not that structures not be standing There's people should be over in the dugout
[01:24:55] Observing the bomb going off So something has happened to prevented the bomb from being detonated and he said there are Several legs that have been sheared off. It appears. Yeah, it's it looks like It's almost uniformly where it's sheared off to but yeah
[01:25:11] Like the structures that the legs themselves don't look like they're too structurally sound anymore Some of them are kind of listing a little to one direction another bit Just looks like the entire tower which the bomb was hung off of just gone
[01:25:26] So someone heist at a bomb. Well, that's a problem and they did it via time travel I'm starting to suspect they may be the sorts of people who would build bunkers in the past I don't know why What a bunker for scientists to observe it
[01:25:42] All right, so I'm gonna run somebody somebody did attempt to Uh prevent the bomb from going off. They interrupted the the experiment. Yeah The experiment was interrupted now the way this stuff kind of works too is
[01:25:59] For the most part your communication with time watch is limited to like mem tags and stuff like that So it's not like you can you know make a phone call go. Hey, did we bomb? Uh Hiroshima and Nagasaki you're not one can't do that now
[01:26:14] You know if you wanted to give me two like I'm just giving I'm just throwing examples out there If you wanted to find out if this actually altered that part of history, you could actually travel forward, right?
[01:26:26] But then that would incur paradox because we know it's supposed to be different And if we fix it so that it turns out the way it's supposed to yeah, it will hurt us
[01:26:35] Yeah, it's it's pretty hard to avoid a couple of paradox checks without the course of the game But yeah, that's just one option. Now I did mention you all like for example Uh, you know, I gave the contemporary just to throw a bit more off here
[01:26:50] So Aaron, I just didn't read this last bit to you the actual key clue that just noticing kind of thing The actual bomb in history did go off without a hitch Despite the risks of spies and saboteurs no one interfered with at the trinity test site
[01:27:05] Which is where you're at the results were enough again. I actually told you all this stuff So I just read you shit you heard in you. I'm sorry It's okay anything else Can we
[01:27:17] Track the radiation through time and see where they took the bomb and the bunker has gone to you said right? No, the bunker's standing Yeah You well if you got in closer you could check things out no problem
[01:27:32] But you know this the military is on high alert. So this would be something that would involve a Some checks of some sort. It seems like it's dangerous to even be here Yeah And yet here we are I mean, that's our job
[01:27:48] No, you guys do know you think outside the box. What can you do? So yeah, I mean the obvious things if you wanted to do would be authority disguise An impertipence if you wanted to sneak in all hard checks Let's just travel back in time a day
[01:28:04] Let's see what happens. Okay. I like that idea Okay, sound good. All right. So I mean that of course means we can't it's gonna hurt to stop it from happening At least you get to see what happened. Yeah
[01:28:18] Yeah, and then once we know we can go back ahead in time and stop ourselves from going backwards in time No, we can't do that. That's also bad. Yeah, we're just gonna take our lumps
[01:28:30] The first two times we played this joe is like, well if you did this and you know It's just like yeah, three of us try to figure out what fucked up Okay, so
[01:28:39] Yeah, if everybody wants to give me either a spin a point from a stitch or go ahead and make a l4d4 So I'll spend a stitch if you uh, you can spend
[01:28:50] Chrono stability to modify beforehand by the way folks, but whereas it's l4d4 is pretty much your default on this. I think that Yeah, if you're gonna lose four if you fuck it up. So all right, so just a Thor Thor fan spinning the stitch. What about
[01:29:07] Uh, I will roll. What am I rolling? You are trying to beat a four now if don't roll yet or if you don't beat you lose four You can spend the modify kind of you know
[01:29:18] Gum shoot wise so you can spend two and only lose two if you succeed or if you fail that then you lose six You got i'm saying No, you can spend points that you could potentially lose in chrono stability beforehand to modify the row
[01:29:33] But if you don't and you fail it then you miss what you spent plus four Nope, I'm gonna just roll I like my odds I rolled a four So the subway doors open like persona five or something like that and he steps through into a day before yesterday
[01:29:57] Okay, or a day before the previous day and what about you albert? What are you doing? say so So he's going to check out the just observe for a bit Yeah I guess I'll look around some in the present day
[01:30:15] Around the bunker see if there's anything that stands out Uh, cannot All right Do you want to point out though that you're gonna have to have some kind of plan like you're gonna have to go to them
[01:30:25] Or they're gonna have to go to you or like there's not really a great way for you to communicate in different times So fun enough true and we could always just like
[01:30:34] Leave a message he starts investigating. Wow. I mean there's no way for us to know what he would do in the future I guess Wait, I thought he went to the past to They're just going back a day. You just observe. Yeah, we're going back one day
[01:30:47] I guess you could just we'll just maybe we'll just wait a day and Well for me no time will have passed at all right
[01:30:57] So I love the fact that now i'm gonna have to figure out like so now there's two of you here, but okay, we'll go with that Well, they'll they step they like oh, yeah That's beautiful. Yeah
[01:31:10] Oh, yeah, they'll block back up to you in a moment. So yeah All right folks, uh, what are you? All right, so we'll go ahead and do yours and then Albert. What do you want to look around for in the meantime like
[01:31:23] Uh, just first of all see if there's any people there. Oh, it's swarming. There's oh, they're on high alert Can I Okay Well, then I would like to have some kind of security clearance So would that be preparedness or when I have to time
[01:31:41] I could time travel you could or you could do disguise And just did you do you have any authority or anything like that or? Um, I have intimidation high society and falsehood detection Which is just bullshit detector so you can tell if somebody is lying to you
[01:31:57] Uh, that's right So you can impersonate a scientist though because you have science. All right. Yeah, I want to I'll do that then Yeah, so if you want to go ahead and make a disguise check difficulty four and then we'll say that
[01:32:10] You are able to gain access to the base by rubbing science on it And One on disguise. I can I use this ditch? Nope, he rolled already and failed. We already kind of hand weighed that one time today
[01:32:26] Damn it. But I mean I'll sit for today and today only until I re-read the rules Yeah, you want to go ahead and spin at the flip it so to speak already raced it off my character sheet
[01:32:37] All right. Why if this turned at me expectantly muting the mic be right back. Okay Sorry for those of you. I forgot to mute this. Well, thanks I'm not gonna edit this in post. Yeah, fuck
[01:32:48] Right. And then they got a fat chance because the people the people in the internet future It's just going to find out my daughter had a temperature of 101 She's got sick man. She she was complaining about feeling ill
[01:33:00] But it's a kid and school's tomorrow. Yeah, three more degrees before she starts hallucinating. So, you know, It'll be all right Okay, so yeah, Ethan we will go with this so, uh, excuse me sir, are you supposed to be uh, can I help you? Uh, no You're rubbing
[01:33:23] Okay, so with your bullshit science degree Oh wait, I'm speaking about college. It's never mind. But So do you do you understand what a what the uh thermal trigger on the isotopes are? I mean, you might I don't know
[01:33:40] That's above my pay grade sir. But there's somebody in here that can talk to you about it. Wait, what's I said? It's about my pay grade. That's right. It is. I know you can't help me
[01:33:50] So, yeah, we'll say that yeah, you've gained access to it now gentlemen that are going back So I actually have a nice description. Yes. That's a good thing. I'm confident that uh, no explosion will be occurring
[01:34:06] Yeah, yeah, well, I mean I'll ask about that. I guess I'll find somebody like the test going is bland You know, uh, well, I'll tell you what we'll uh, we'll go with this and then I'll I'll bounce over them and I'll bounce back to you
[01:34:20] Ethan so okay as uh I thought I was kind of teflon again. I know A Thor fan and rick, you notice I'm calling rich all night right Aaron Okay, it's rick baker. You guys are kind of sacked out on a hill
[01:34:38] You see the people leaving now what you do see before everybody leaves. Do you see a Pretty, you know nice little A scaffold tower in the center of the desert there and you see that the Gadget, which is the
[01:34:54] You know nuclear bomb is being you watch it being loaded up the entire day. They're hanging it from The scaffolding much like a New Year's Eve ball. I guess you could say Uh security's really tight. There's a dozen heavily armed soldiers that are
[01:35:11] Walking around a perimeter but everything seems kind of chill toward the end of the day as everybody's picking back up You see that there has been a kind of little shack built up on top of the scaffolding
[01:35:24] Where the bomb is and you see a man climb up the ladder and sit in a chair And everybody leaves and it's nightfall. It's getting late around 3 30 in the morning There's a big a big thunderstorm occurs
[01:35:39] So it's raining on you all you want to role play that out later, but uh the service You see a in the midst of this round 3 30 a.m. You see a spherical like Time looks like a tunnel kind of cone tunnel kind of thing. It opens up
[01:35:59] Vibrating there's a gigantic roaring sound. It encompasses the tower Um purple light floods the desert as you see this your autocrons are going off with uh the time The time, you know caporal uh caporal chronological chrono radiation I'm gonna turn into ghost busters here and um
[01:36:22] It let the light shines on this on it for Tower for like 30 seconds and then as a gigantic clap of thunder hits the light disappears And the tower's gone as well So you're here you've seen that the tower the man the bomb all of it's been sheared off
[01:36:42] And you do actually have access to the site now as a bonus I think the most important thing would be to find where Trace that where the chrono radiation leads back to if we can okay We don't really want to interfere with too much of the other workings
[01:36:59] You know what the the um I mentioned that your autocrons were going off anyway If you're there you're near it you've picked up the location. You've got you've got it It's I mean, it's literally been a door opened up. It's not like you're tracing the thread right just
[01:37:16] We were just there and they're like now moving to seventh century Greece And honestly it tracks back to what you all caught with the rift that you explored with the drone Same time period same general location. Okay. Is there any well?
[01:37:32] Is there anything else you all would like to do There because I tell you let's do this and a side-by-side kind of split Ethan Joe and Aaron So part of the screen to the left is Thor fan and rick baker lying in the rain lying in the rain
[01:37:50] 18 wheels and a dozen roses is playing off a radio somewhere and that came out in the 80s, but it's okay and um On a mile Adam All right, so can you tell me who sang that there? Oh
[01:38:06] Give me a second. First Kathy. It's not important right now. We'll come back to it All right, Kathy Mateo. You okay. Well now I know Ethan you're on the right hand side of the screen and it's daytime people tell me what they're wanting to do
[01:38:20] Uh, look at your abilities. So we have access to the site now, right? You have access to the site I'm going in Oh, why? We saw everything we need to see Because the guy that did it still in there what
[01:38:40] Yeah, I thought the guy that stole the bomb was still around He probably left he showed up stole the bomb and left with it Probably rifted time opens up big purple tunnel flies out rips it everything's gone except for the nicks of it
[01:38:55] But I mean you can there is stuff that you could possibly do but um, ethan, why about you? What are you doing in the present? Uh, I want to ask around about you know, is the launch still going as planned?
[01:39:07] Like there haven't been any delays see what people are saying All right, so you walk up. I guess are you going for science personnel or military personnel? Uh You know the military people are the guys who are like they probably have a stricter timetable, right?
[01:39:23] Yeah, yeah, they would be the ones probably also that would know that would know you're not working on the project So maybe you wouldn't or they wouldn't they wouldn't they're not working with you right so yeah um, so Yeah, are you yeah?
[01:39:37] Can I help you? That's my introduction to you real plan. Oh, I trust uh The launch is going off as planned. No changes to the timetable or anything the hell he point he gestures to the legs We've hit a bit of a snag A snag
[01:39:56] The old man's even here right now. He's like He's been on the phone with he's been on the phone with washington all morning. Like there is no tests Like why not anything I can help with Shit they're saying Men are saying everything they're saying that
[01:40:13] That it was so when some people say that if the bomb was detonated and this is what happens when the bomb goes off And some people people say that lightning struck it and destroyed it Like nobody knows what's going on here. Oh, stop bomb Not you personally
[01:40:30] That would be very embarrassing. Do you have military tactics or do you have? Yes? Okay So as you're having this conversation with him with military tactics, you find out that when the bomb was stolen Of course as they witnessed there was an engineer that was
[01:40:46] Sitting with the bomb. He was a sarah's kind of a lookout. There was no one within 15 kilometers Little do they know rain dripping Everybody was at a minimum safe distance scientists were in their bunkers And
[01:41:02] There was no wait. There were footprints. How many sets of footprints for their guys? Uh Or fan are you going in? Are you now? I don't think it's a good idea. All right. There was one set of um, Of shoe prints doesn't look military
[01:41:21] That was when they carried him Is that a jesus reference? If you I bet you might be Um I'm going in. I'm gonna see if this dude's still here. All right, you get another stitch for making me happy since someone else
[01:41:43] Is giving them out. Thank you for your jesus reference. You're welcome I'm going into the facility and I have my gun drawn just in case This is a spooky uh lightning in the distance, but you seem to be okay
[01:42:00] Do you um, I'm gonna look back at Thor fan. Look if you're not coming in with me, uh Radio me if any if you see anybody coming. All right. Yeah, see what as you go in
[01:42:10] Let me your meters of your autocom is going just going off the scale But what you are picking up is something you didn't pick up previously from when viewer observance from the hillside Is that uh with
[01:42:24] See with your timecraft you're picking up not only are you picking up the lingering Chronal radiation to this very specific error. You are also picking up that they are using a very Not modern version of time travel. They're just targeted time tunnel
[01:42:41] Basically, it's not as vast as autocons autocons can move you and if you grab the hold of somebody You know, you can move you through you know space and time and all that
[01:42:51] What they have got is just like a beam and it basically will pick up everything within a 15 meter radius So as you're going into this not only are you noticing that the legs are sheared off of the tower But other things that were built up like you know
[01:43:08] Pose for lights and you know apparatus that they use to actually construct the scaffolding And things like that on the tower is it's all gone So you're picking that up the sort of technology is rare and soundably used because it's very
[01:43:23] Indiscriminate and it also tends to have a lot of negative side effects like opening up time riffs nearby You don't say Albert so Hmm There's no with the ability that the bomb obviously didn't detonate Right, probably wouldn't need science for that
[01:43:46] Yeah, and to be honest with you just for the sake of time and stuff like that I think you you all pretty much unless there's anything in particular you want to ask me I think you all pretty much milked this scene for everything
[01:43:55] It's worth it. I was thinking I at this point just kind of need to wait for them to show back up Because nobody saw Nobody saw that thing get taken. No, nobody saw it. Any person who saw it went with it. Yeah So where are you going man?
[01:44:10] All right, what are you doing? The the bomb was over here. All right I just you know this place is it's like a maze. I get lost in here all the time I gotta go find a good luck with the bomb
[01:44:25] I'm not gonna roll. I'm not gonna make you roll. I'll be a dick over that Okay, so you make up the bullshit excuse of um, I'm gonna check the radiation levels over here and wonder off And was there anything you were wanting to go through fan?
[01:44:40] No, I'm just gonna see if Make sure nobody follows him from my end. No and uh, see if anybody comes out to like See just monitor who comes out to check on stuff. Yeah
[01:44:52] Well, rick makes it back out after he's scoured it and figured out there's nothing there and you do see at around Seven you see in the morning a jeep pulls up and
[01:45:05] You know jeep pulls up and then it rushes off and then there's more jeeps pulling up and stuff like that and then This area just quickly fills up. So, you know, it's sunrise Right, that's when they all started. Of course, you guys are safe and
[01:45:21] Albert as you're standing there in your lab coat autocron look Uh there walks up Fourth van and rick. Oh gentlemen, what'd you find out info dump? Okay info dump indeed So, how do you guys do it on time? It is 8 30 eastern standard
[01:45:40] Do you want to play a little bit more or do you want to put a pin in this one and pick it back up soon? Uh, I can go for like another half hour or so. Okay
[01:45:50] Aaron do you think you guys good? Half hour is fine with me. Yeah, it works. Okay, cool. So what do y'all want to do? um It seems like we should go investigate that uh at building. Yeah, I think so Whatever time period that was again
[01:46:09] Uh question. Yeah, could we go back to the citadel and research who still has access to that sort of uh uh time travel technology With the readings that you got you're getting the well, here's the deal Aaron
[01:46:23] There's not just one time string and stuff like it and stuff like as soon as something occurs It another thing's being closed and stuff like that. It's a pretty good idea But you know that it's not 30 or definitely Thor fan knows it's not 31st century tech
[01:46:38] So it's more. Yeah You can kind of narrow it down with your knowledge of time craft from the spins you made earlier You're kind of getting it to be 23rd to 25th century Looks like we're going to the 23rd to 25th century then where
[01:46:55] I mean if we go back and check out the building we saw Through the time rift like we might be able to narrow that down Unless I completely misunderstood what was going on there. No, you got it. Yeah, that's a good assessment of it
[01:47:09] So yeah, Aaron, you know the tech is at time period, but you don't have a um, you know That's kind of a broad spectrum. They kind of Hmm. Can I use timecraft to narrow it down?
[01:47:21] No, I mean even if you narrowed it down, you don't you still don't have geological location on that Damn it. I mean, it's a good idea. I'm not not knocking that it seems like yeah
[01:47:31] If you like you could kind of research to a degree, but this stuff the time is so Temporal, I guess you could say yeah And the weird thing is I mean we're fighting for our like perceived timeline of the way stuff is
[01:47:45] And there's other people fighting for their perceived ones. So that's kind of why in this game There's literally a time watch has a base Set up in nazi germany during, you know, world war two is like You know too early hitler's got to live
[01:48:02] Yeah, otherwise the 50s nuclear war breaks out of and it's destroyed the world You remember doing that that remember when you had to do that one time albert. Shit job That's probably something everybody has to do That's like like make the new guy do it
[01:48:18] Up we got a sniper on a build. I'm on it. God damn it. All right, new guys got to save Hitler Ah, fuck I mean If you need to ensure that your timeline stays intact, I think that was your day Hitler again. Yeah Yeah
[01:48:42] If you all do one if you all do one two, yeah, let's go you can go ahead and travel back to the That picture I'm sure it lives at a particular date here somewhere. I just don't have it because
[01:48:57] It's pre-recorded time. So what the fuck does it matter pre history? Right? It's at least 12 000 years ago Rather go to the high Borean age, but Yeah Well, what can you do they'd worship you like a god there Or Conan would be like
[01:49:15] I've slain the ape man and then like the all the slave women would be like Crawl up on him Kind of like the scene from say about me where the kids get out of the lake and the leeches are on them except It's women
[01:49:33] Every every scene is a worse Boris Vallejo painting Yeah Pretty much and then there's me but my my gorilla head cut like right off right. Yeah, you're just like this fucking lame This is not this is not the fun adventure I was hoping for
[01:49:51] I wanted the the slave women to dance up on me Anyway, so as you all plug in the coordinates for as a time into your Uh
[01:50:03] Autocran, thank you. You uh, go ahead and plug in and do you want to do the spin of a stitch or do you want to do Row, I'm going to do a roll God no I don't like the import of that song
[01:50:22] All right, so what's what's the difficulty i'm rolling for here at me It's it's typically it's four unless you somehow modify anything in gum I rolled a four again Son of a bitch when these days have four is going to give out on you
[01:50:37] But not today your subway door your 1970s new york subway doors open and you step through Into the holocene period next uh, are you spinning or rolling there albert?
[01:50:49] Uh, how many stitches do I have left? I will I'll just spend a stitch. Okay. I have lost some already And what about uh, Thor fan? Thor fan will also spend a stitch because I'm not confident in my ability to manipulate time machines
[01:51:06] I'm from the future with one stitch. Yeah, okay. Sounds good. So yeah, here you all are so again I said that I can't say it enough if you like something your fellow player is doing it seems funny
[01:51:18] It seems cool. It seems pretty like a good idea. Give them a stitch. All right. I'll try and remember that That's all good, man. It's I had trouble remembering when I played Um, so yeah, here you go. I think I said they were about 10 meter tall walls
[01:51:32] Like so, yeah, you've got this if you get closer to it. You got the 10 meter uh tall walls going around this Outpost kind of set up here you see You see all this beautiful wildlife and then you see, you know this
[01:51:49] Acronistic kind of set up here with the high fence It looks like it's uh electrified barbed wire is running across it you With your I'm assuming your binoculars that I can't imagine that you guys don't have something that would let you magnify and see things
[01:52:06] Yeah, anyway that you can see that there. It looks like you see a 24 city like fusion Reactor i.e for the century. Yeah looks like looks like a combination between a reactor and a generator
[01:52:19] You know, it's big but it's not big big, you know what I mean? And it's kind of running and powering everything You see the defenses are designed more with the military
[01:52:30] Tactics those of you have that you do you see that this looks like it's designed to keep the animals out They're not really expecting people. Yeah at the large central courtyard That you see that big hoop that you see is your time tunnel. So they're on a
[01:52:45] Looks like a wheeled kind of trailer. They're as a large For you definitely for you Thorpan this arcade technology this gigantic looks like almost rail gun Some now it seems to be no sign of intelligent life anyway
[01:53:02] No, well, I don't mean real gun like it's like that's the actual the gun for the that opens a portal It's just a gigantic I keep thinking of that thing that the nazis had on the train tracks not as big I know you're coming from all right
[01:53:18] You do see around the edges of the courtyard there's bunk houses and laboratories looks like an armory and I had living quarters a couple of like even shops where people are working on stuff
[01:53:31] Like I mean these people some of these people are actually they look like they're living here Um, when are you trying to are you I do want to clarify this? So when in time are you wanting to go before the bomb was stolen immediately after or do you
[01:53:47] Away today. Oh wait. That's right. We can go before the bomb was stolen bug. We have to let them steal it Yeah, hold on. I mean the more we know about exactly how they did it the worst it's going to be for us long term
[01:54:00] Yes, this is it's just a cthulhu Let's just unsteal the bomb like Like not take that back Stealing the bomb. I mean just steal the bomb back and put it back Yeah Albert how strong are you? All right, I'm a gorilla. I don't think he's carrying a
[01:54:20] Clear weapon of this era throw me over the wall. I do need to know I do want to know yes. Yes Before you throw a stitch for the head thought You get a stitch for that Now I've got two
[01:54:36] Market now. Hey, um just before you throw anybody guys tell me like I'm assuming not before now So during or after after stolen I think we should wait until after they've stolen it
[01:54:48] So we can steal it back and then just put it back like it was never stolen at all I agree. They'll never see it coming. It's not like I'm not on our side Yes, so you're like waiting a day. I guess yeah
[01:55:02] Okay, cool. All right. So yeah, so It does look like as I'm go ahead and do the throw I do when I add because you told me when you were doing this It doesn't when you peek through
[01:55:13] With the drone you saw more people staring about along leaps the tops of the walls You couldn't really, you know, obviously see in the courtyard But it seems less active now than when you peek through it with the drone That's what I'm saying. So yeah
[01:55:27] Go ahead and row this beautiful bean footage. So you're wanting to Sneak up. I will say that with the thickness of the cover and all that and they're not exactly looking for men
[01:55:38] Out there. I can see the I will say that you can get there the gorillas who throw them That was my favorite Jerry Springer episode Man and the gorillas who throw them But if you if you do want to like you can get there for free now
[01:55:58] Yeah, you all just tell me how you're throwing real play this out throw me uh Man, I want to like I want to like grab him by the shirt and like spin around like three times and then just like Just like hurl them
[01:56:15] All right, uh, i'm just gonna do you know how to watch this in all Okay 10 meters tall, right? Yeah I don't know how 30 feet. That's 30 feet tall. That's fine. I trust albert and even Okay, albert do me a real big favor here. Yeah
[01:56:41] What do you want to spend on this buddy? Uh scuffling Wait, this is a more of an athletics thing or okay Do you have any athletics left? Yeah, okay. I'm gonna spend two Eight That is an eight All right, you guys tell me how this happens well
[01:57:07] Uh, you clear the bar bar I he puts his hand out Oh, well no because he's not it's not like mighty joey young. He's not that big Wow I prepare myself and I assume he just grabs me and
[01:57:26] Throws me like a bag of trash I've lined up like Yeah Okay, yeah, so you go sailing over the fence I do a graceful front flip over it. So you're over it now. What are you like? How does this play out air?
[01:57:45] Uh, i'm gonna start stelzin around to figure out who's in this here base Do realize that you are at least 30 feet up in the air, right? Well like on the wall You're gonna make a loud sound when you hit the ground where you throw in him
[01:57:59] All right, so let's make sure we're clear here because what i'm saying erin is um, That hold on a second. I want to show you some show you guys real quick This is uh the joys of how the fuck do I share my screen? We don't know
[01:58:13] Into everyone do you see this and no you do you guys don't see anything on my screen? I see you. Hold on playing exchange present Oh, so it's not showing a picture. Uh, no Oh Oh I'm sorry guys. I thought I knew what I was doing
[01:58:34] Edit this out Shit no that ain't it. Hey happen, but um, okay So were you wanting us to get stuck on the wall or were you wanting to fly over it and fall 30 feet? What i'm asking anybody. Oh, I'd rather land on the top of the wall, please
[01:58:51] Okay all right, so With his excellent athletics role you're somewhere Between the barb wire and the fence Okay, so he threw it right at that sweet spot to where you have that man-sized gap That you can
[01:59:09] Slyther around to get into it. I mean that was it was a good idea I I thought he was just pitching you over and that's why I said it was you know It's 10 meters erin and it's like you're gonna be following 30 feet Okay I'm currently
[01:59:25] Currently on the wall. I will try and climb down Okay, give me another proof. So please check okay That's a five. Okay. So yeah you Not that many people are around you make it in no problem
[01:59:45] Uh, by the way, if you guys also want to get in there and also accept stuff like burglary stuff like that They all kind of work the same. So you're inside. What are you wanting to do? um What does everybody else want to do?
[02:00:03] well, uh, I'm gonna hope for in a radio to Rick and ask for Sit rap is he caught? Great. Did they catch you notice? I'm using your real name over the air once again your real name is rick over No, I'm I'm good so far nobody's seen me
[02:00:24] There's a couple people around doing stuff. You see guards kind of patrolling But it's not doesn't appear to be on high alert or anything like that Is there anyone off by themselves that I might be able to snag?
[02:00:38] Yeah, there's all kinds of people off by themselves. Like who are you looking for? I don't know someone who might know what they're talking about or who might know what's going on here
[02:00:46] You want someone that looks somebody with a gun or do you want somebody with a coat? I want somebody with a coat. All right. So what are you looking like? What are you wearing? Yeah, what are you wearing there? Do you have pants? I do have pants
[02:01:02] I don't know just uh looking like a an officer of the law from 1975 Okay So you're gonna break into the base look like you can freely change Like if you want to walk around freely I or I might have to keep asking for obtrusiveness checks
[02:01:20] As you as you do stuff, you know what I'm gonna switch my look I'm just gonna just gonna go with a black cover all that feels It feels like I can get away with that So you wouldn't look for like an engineer look like somebody
[02:01:34] All right, and are you gonna be making the disguise spin for me? Sure. That's just immense. It makes it legit No, you're good. I have three points in disguise. So I'll spend one Well, I mean
[02:01:45] Difficulty four now and this is kind of important. So I just want to say Do you want to spend four? I mean one I do want I do want to spend one Okay, and I rolled a four
[02:02:00] So I got a five anybody else want that little smoke some of the bitch get caught eventually here Okay, you look just like what you want to look like And uh, you said you're wanting to look walk to one of the sciency looking people
[02:02:14] You are you wanting to go to the offices or you wanting to go to like the actual portal? Uh making machine Are there guards around the portal making machine there's guards sporadically here and there they're making the rounds I can say that you can wait
[02:02:31] Where there's nobody in immediate vicinity that would notice you you know assassins creed somebody If you wanted to do that, I mean, I know you're mo Kill people when you go get something from a bakery Hi I'm not that predictable
[02:02:49] What game did I go get something from a bakery? I know I'm just Oh, no, no, you're fine. I thought there was an actual game you were talking about I just couldn't remember Joe noticed that the death toll has been so high that it's just like
[02:03:03] Yeah, I have killed one thing this game for me. It was a tuesday Um I'm gonna go to one of the offices where one of these nerds is more more likely to be alone Or oh, sorry, what I'm trying to like
[02:03:19] Help everybody else in or something like that trying to get that door open or is that what you're trying to accomplish? No, I'm gonna get some information out of somebody. Okay. Well Your gorilla throw what's his name up and then climb up yourself. Don't throw me anywhere
[02:03:37] Let's just find a regular entrance maybe See how it's sneak high. Hi. Is this the secret base? I'd like to apply for for your evil business. I mean are you are you hiring? You know what like 401k or you don't think I've got extensive murder murder knowledge
[02:03:56] So if you really Looking for that kind of guy gorilla expertise You want to give me a time travel thing you can you can travel there in the future Yeah, we should travel you could turn the past
[02:04:11] Yeah, you can time travel to Aaron's position. That's how it works. No, you'll blow my cover All right, Aaron. So like all right, so you know, you can Yeah, you can get somebody but we still do spins and stuff like that
[02:04:26] So you got the guys kind of tinkering with it. Uh, hold on a minute man. I'm doing diagnostics, sir You just a moment. I'm out and help you with it. So he's not looking at you. Is there anyone else around?
[02:04:37] You waited till the time when if there's nobody within the eyeshot All right, I'm gonna pistol whip him and drag him into a bathroom or something Uh, good old rick Are you really gonna beat this shit out of here with a gun?
[02:04:53] I'm just gonna hit him once. I just gotta knock him out. You got a gun that knocks people out Look It's not as satisfying rose rose guffling or rose shooting Aaron It's not as fine as hitting him in the night night button for the butt of my gun
[02:05:11] It's part at point blank. I think let me double check stun test if you want to do a sun chest there but like Robo die try to meet Eric cd. Uh, sun rating usually a five. Do you what's what's the sun rating on a pass fire show?
[02:05:28] You have a man. I uh I'm five. I have it on the character sheet. Oh, it's five I mean you could roll a five on that if you wanted to or if you just want to
[02:05:38] Rose scuffling this guy. I'm saying he's a mook so it wouldn't take too much You just want to beat the shit out of him drag him off I don't have any scuffling points. So I just have to straight roll
[02:05:48] What's the difficulty threshold? I'll say that somebody with their back to you It's gonna be a three And this this is a quarter draw like okay, so you you know He's out, but you didn't split his throat I rolled a six
[02:06:06] Albert do you hear anything it sounds like excessive violence? Almost always Okay, so yeah, you got this guy you got a limp person All right. I'm gonna drag him into the nearest bathroom and or storage closet easy enough
[02:06:22] There's next to the machine. There's the different fuel cells just gotta be you know loaded into the gun and all that So yeah, you you managed to drag him in there and let's go back to the people on the outside since there's no help coming
[02:06:35] Yeah, can I just Just have him climb on my back and I'll just climb up the wall Yeah, I think that I'm on board with that but I'm bump The 30 foot wall. Yeah, okay. He is a gorilla. Yeah I mean
[02:06:52] I got you want to do athletics how you want to do this? Yeah Athletic seems appropriate. I will once again spend two By the way, you could if you start running low on this stuff You are allowed to spin a stitch to refresh two points. Good to know
[02:07:07] Uh, how does seven sound seven sounds wonderful? I'll start scaling the wall Okay, so you have a much better idea than ricks. You're scaling the wall and How is uh Thor fan? What's he doing? Thanks? He's holding on to That mighty gorilla back
[02:07:25] He could scale a wall himself too probably but jeez This has never happened to him in his life. So he's he's just gonna enjoy it Can't believe you wanted me to throw him that was that is my only don't get it It was a lot of fun
[02:07:45] First can you come? Yeah All right. Yeah, so I will say with that successful row you all make it up and Drop down, you know unobtrusively so Well, not unobtrusively. Let's say I'll ask you to do the same thing. Do you have burglary or unobtrusiveness?
[02:08:04] I do have a burglary All right, now we could do this two different ways you could do individually or if one one's higher than another I would let you kind of piggyback off of one another trying to remember how that works with gum
[02:08:17] Like you could do a general spin. I think I have to spend one extra for everyone I'm going to uh, yeah, I have to spend one extra for everyone who piggyback piggybacks on Based on other games. I don't know if that's yeah, it's the same rule
[02:08:30] So if it's if that's needed, I didn't know unless you all want to do individual I think we should stick together Well, he means individual roles. Okay. Yeah So do you want to piggyback or just make the roads individually if you guys had the points or the skills?
[02:08:47] Uh, I'll just make my own role. All right All right, I'll spend two out of burglary. I will spend one unobtrusiveness Two Seven better better Yeah, so when you hit the ground Thor fan, you kind of know it's a duck and roll And where Albert was helping you
[02:09:10] Kind of even helping to hold your hand to drop you down less of a distance when he lands He makes a noise. So I will say that you're not immediately spotted but you have You can kind of hear the metal gear solid Yeah, yeah
[02:09:28] So or you do hear somebody, you know, what was that react to that sound so there Where you're at you guys it's going to be hot pretty soon, but joe you're pretty well hitting good at the moment Come on over here
[02:09:45] All right, let's go back to um agent biker. Okay Huh, what the fuck are you waking up good the hell's going on here? What are you using? Uh Intimidation let's see if I have intimidation. I don't have intimidation
[02:10:04] Um, you can intimidate him in otherwise. Can I use street wise not really any streets around here? I mean, I can't I can't bureaucracy him What street wise I mean let's go to the judges. Do you think that works or
[02:10:19] That would be if you're trying to act like what a local tough or something like that Street wise, I think feel like would be like disguising yourself as a local thug or finding information out from Uh, the local criminal element erin you got any shooting?
[02:10:36] I have seven shooting Erin if you give me a point of shooting, I'm not telling you to shoot him But you could pull the pacifier out and with fists like taser is kind of arcing spark You know that spark that illuminated a window several several several
[02:10:53] In new Mexico, um Yeah, you could give me a point of shooting. I'll say that you are intimidating him All right, I will give you a point of shooting, but couldn't I just put a gun to his head? Wouldn't that be easier?
[02:11:04] Yeah, I just spin a point. I don't care and it works. It's I think spending the point is Making it look like you're going to shoot him for sure Gotcha. I will spin the point
[02:11:16] Oh, yeah, man. I'll tell you what you want. What do you want, man? What do you want? What's going on here? Look, we got we got just a little simple time operation
[02:11:25] We're just grabbing a few things for somebody and it's just I mean, this is just a job, man God fuck. Oh, he's rubbing inside of his head What are you grabbing in for who?
[02:11:38] For a test chin man for it to test chin. He collects this weird shit. Who the fuck is that? He's a eccentric rich guy Head in a jar Foting around kind of it's just creepy. Man. Look, it's a job. I just work. That's great. Where is he? Dubai
[02:11:57] In when is he? 24 55 Thank you And then I'm going to tip the chair that he's tied to over So he's on his back like a turtle. Oh That's just pacify him again Or do you gag him or do you pacify?
[02:12:20] Um, so he's got some water why not in this room? What? Yeah, there's they use it's water coolant They've got jugs of water that water Are you gonna waterboard this guy? No reason
[02:12:36] No, I wasn't gonna waterboard and I was gonna drown him but now that you guys are Drown him What the fuck? All right, I'm just gonna stun him and then yeah, that's The right answer
[02:12:55] Look an rpx game has only ever come to waterboarding once I mean chris never actually did it. We just got close to it Well, I'd like to keep it that way and hopefully there aren't a lot of drownings It's nice to keep those to a minimum Yeah
[02:13:11] Those of us who don't like there's not like the only way we can feel anything You know, I always heard of from murder hobo, but I never really saw one in action till this is the game He decides to do that in
[02:13:28] Again, Joe, this is why I wanted you in this man. This is like oh boy So he had to let someone else see this So what you're playing with Bert it's turned in from misery into shouting Freud It's like that please tell me you played a
[02:13:50] Star Trek with Burke and Sean and Aaron today. Uh, it was yesterday actually so you went from that Yeah, no one was even threatened with murder I don't even know how rick baker turned into this character I have to use good. You're the only one who would
[02:14:14] All right, let's keep going so Joe bit Joe was probably running out of time here So, um Yeah, you get your information. So let's cut back over for 40 more or crimes are created um, let's
[02:14:29] What do you want to what do you all want to do now? So you need like I prefer to try and sneak into a Sneak into one of their data centers and try and access some of their
[02:14:41] Computers are you going to change your mesh to resemble? I think that's probably a good idea. Yeah. Yeah I'll go for a disguise then. Yeah, all right You all know like the way I've got one or two like to live, you know point wise and stuff like that
[02:14:56] You know, we're looking one or two scenes more. So I mean we're obviously I had to finish it up in a second session but All right, I mean we don't know That rick has tortured somebody. Well, not really intimidated somebody To find out this information so
[02:15:17] I rolled a four plus two which is six Okay, yeah, you've managed are going for You know Staying high ranking officer. I like an officer. Okay. And what about you albert?
[02:15:30] Uh, let's see he's going for the officer. I'll I'll try and disguise myself as more of a scientist It's something I can actually back up with roles Okay, I can back up officer in this with authority. Yeah
[02:15:42] By the way, you all have architectures well, right or one of you does I do. Yes, we roll disguise for that Yeah, we're just guys while you're rolling there Four pan you do you kind of get the layout with your knowledge of architecture
[02:15:57] Laboratories armory dormitories. There's even a holding cell and offices. You know where all this stuff is All right, I got a six. Okay. Yeah, you look at and not too long after you all change
[02:16:09] There's you see a guard walk up to rounds the corner of a building. Oh, I didn't know anyone was here Sir, he looks at your You know signifying rank, right? Do you want to do anything here? I just say well go on about your business Do you um
[02:16:26] Do any of y'all have like bureaucracy? I don't I have Also do not You do not Authority I have authority, you know, I tell you I'll give me an authority. It's a if you want to I can give you something for an authority
[02:16:41] Yeah, I'll spend authority. All right So yeah, you pretty much you you spend authority you pull rank And is there any kind of thing that you would like to ask them about?
[02:16:50] Any of this I'm kind of just sitting it up. Now you do also have future history, right? I didn't put any points in it He only cares about the 31st century All right guard, would you like to
[02:17:04] You enjoy this employment? Oh, yes very much sir. Mr. Chen is a very generous employer. That's good to hear good to hear What's what's the best part of his uh of his package? What's he offering that makes it enticing to you now that I have you here?
[02:17:20] This is something we'd usually do for exit interviews, but we're gonna be finishing up soon So I like the fact that I can go away and work and I come back home Through the time rift and nothing's happened. Nothing changed
[02:17:32] Like for my loved ones for my family for my kids I come back home and it's been a day instead of me being out here for six or seven months I kind of worry about it if I keep doing this stuff for mr. Chen and stuff like that
[02:17:44] I really kind of worry if I'm going to you know I'm I'm I'm gonna grow too old for my kids eyes like but I mean the money's too good right now But yeah, so it's it's just a quick travel, you know just that makes sense that makes sense
[02:17:58] You're in Dubai no time all right Hmm I don't feel like there's anything else I can get out of this guy except for what Chen is Chen's business practices as far as he's aware of them
[02:18:10] I mean you want to ask him why this has all happened? Yeah, so What do you know about Chen's plan now? Don't don't worry about this. It's just an operational security
[02:18:21] Something that a guard knows that means that's something that everybody knows a search has seemed crazy to me I mean so all right, so last year He went ahead and I was working for him then too
[02:18:34] But he went ahead and did the transfer so he's you know, he was his body was getting in bad health So he's now you know floating around in a jar on a little hover cart kind of deal And yeah
[02:18:46] You know and ever since then he's just been obsessed about these fucking weapons and these weapons wanting this military history And you know how he just I'm sure no, you know, no disrespect to him. I've interacted with him
[02:18:57] I don't worry about it. I'm not going to hold it against you. We were in we went back to early 2000s to Iraq we've We you know, there was those that underwater expedition He kind of waited over the race
[02:19:13] Where you you can see the remains of a sub like it looks like a a well, you don't have history But Albert recognizes it A 20th century submarine like we fished that got that thing off the bottom of the ocean
[02:19:27] Like and he just he's a success for just storing all these things in his his penthouse tower. It's just I don't know. It's just Maybe it's a rich thing. Maybe it's a brain in a jar thing. I don't know well, um
[02:19:41] All right. Well, thanks. Thanks for your input Uh, I wasn't aware that everybody was so So clued in onto what his activities were Um, so I I know I know but We try and we try and switch the staff outs of the not everybody knows
[02:19:58] Apparently it's not well that's neither here nor there. It's not not for you to know Uh, thanks for your input and um, have a good rest of the night. Oh, but thank you, sir
[02:20:07] Mock salute not mock but he just kind of does like an awkward sleep mucked off So towards Albert and like what? It's What is this guy doing that guy well, I mean, I know what he's doing these guys do this stuff all the time
[02:20:22] 31st century don't use time travel for it. But like rich ancient people love collecting Why did that guard know everything? Listen guards know They're not stupid just because they don't get paid a lot. Does it mean they don't know what's going on?
[02:20:41] They know more than scientists. I mean they know about what's occurring in the area. They're guarding I should dress up like a guard. Yeah, I mean, maybe that's something we should think about going forward
[02:20:53] I used to do it all the time but you know, those are the days rick yo, I've just been satirized a bit. What are you doing, buddy? Uh I guess i'm trying to make my way to those other two
[02:21:06] Rick is there anything you're wanting to look for do like no, I mean we got our answers Do you have timecraft? I do have timecraft remember? Yeah, I know
[02:21:17] It's kind of a you know, he's like do you want to travel into the future and fix this or what? Well, yeah, but I probably shouldn't go alone. It's well Here's what i'm saying is that you're picking up a more coronal radiation
[02:21:29] From one of the bunkers in the far corner of the compound So I mean you've got a look you've got definitely got some feedback from the loop and stuff like that But you've got more that you're picking up elsewhere. That's a core clue
[02:21:42] I mean, it's no spin required for that You're and it's actually whenever you everyone else kind of you get your bearings You're all picking up on this like there's a signal Right. Oh, I guess I'll go investigate it everyone else as well
[02:21:56] Yeah, might as well. Yeah, guys since you all looked apart We got engineers. We got stuff like that low-key somebody's gagged or drowned like I mean Shorn your spritz in there really maybe both
[02:22:11] Yeah, so you make it to the back you make it this back compound and there is a pretty hefty little security set up on this back door I would take it looks like you're either going to need some kind of hacking or tinkering or something like that
[02:22:25] I can probably do both. Uh, yes, I can Uh, see I can spend a point of hacking maybe yeah, well, I will say this Hacking is just a point spender, right? It's a technical ability a technical. Yeah, so you don't have to roll on that
[02:22:42] So yeah one point it's one spin of hacking Because it tinkering is an actual ability And it's a lot harder. So yeah, I'll say with hacking you managed to Yeah, it's a 24th century technology. You can even see Thor fan just kind of roll his eyes
[02:22:58] As you make your antiquated technology So crude should use hard light for everything And yeah, you guys make it in and you see exactly All right, so you there's a couple of scientists people
[02:23:14] Working here in a guard. You also see a couple of crates, but what you see most Disturbingly is you see an empty crate like I mean things like gigantic floor like floor jack kind of dolly kind of deal that is sitting to decide if there's another
[02:23:32] big rift and the uh fabric reality Well, that's bad news Everybody's just kind of working people kind of look up at you But you know military person and and uh one of the scientists walking in you know nothing too much What are they doing to the um
[02:23:51] What are they doing to the rift nothing they're just just like that cool rift I it's it's there, but you see some check out the sweet rift We made that pretty watch pretty pretty bad ass sticks his hand in there pulls it back comes out on the ceiling
[02:24:09] Isn't this cool don't turn it off that will cut me in half The guard you can see the guards are standing back there You know purposefully more or less kind of guarding the gate and a deal like that the others are
[02:24:21] You know, it looks like there's some diagnostics with your military row tactics row you made earlier, albert Or not row but your knowledge there You kind of pick up that this is just the hub of wherever things running through here
[02:24:34] Like the systems that control that that monitor the security system on the fence and other life support systems and stuff Let's see if Is there a way we can unobtrusively try and determine where the The uh, yeah the gate goes
[02:24:55] Yeah, so basically you have to leave over a panel and be like, oh So your your technology is much more advanced than what these guys obviously have so I would say
[02:25:04] If even in your case if you want to use burger instead if you wanted to walk up to one of the terminals But kind of you know be working with your autocran
[02:25:13] Fissioning with it. Yeah. Yeah, you could do that. All right. Yeah. I think I will think that sounds like a good idea I'm gonna spend two points in burglary. All right. This would be a difficulty
[02:25:25] You know people are low-key right now. I say at this point. It's just a four I get an eight You get it get it to like I think 20. I can't remember what date I rattled off earlier, but 2045 Or 55 and you're getting Dubai. I mean you've got
[02:25:42] No, okay, so they just they just all shove it through this gate Well it goes somewhere. I mean if this isn't this gate is It's a rip is and it's monitored But it's it's kind of like if you were guarding a cave entrance if that makes sense right
[02:25:57] They know it's there, but they're not worried about it. Yeah, it's it's not an on or off switch. Yeah Also doesn't seem like it's too dangerous It's not obviously it's not underwater or in space. Yeah Rick, what do you think? What do you want to do buddy? Uh
[02:26:14] Again, I feel as if I should reconnect with everyone else. Oh your eyes seems you're already there. I'm sorry bud Oh, no, you're good. All right To Dubai Albert Yeah, what do you anything you want to do? Oh, I was saying yeah
[02:26:28] I'll go with them. Do you want to walk through the riff in front of all them? Or you just want to walk how do y'all want to go to you've got the location? How do y'all want to do this? I don't think we should use the rift
[02:26:39] Since we don't know where it's going to go We should be like our cool rift and then leave and then just use our superior time devices to go to the correct location
[02:26:48] Yeah, sounds good. Alrighty. So yeah, we'll say that yeah, you step out walk around a corner of a building You know, you all tell me narrate. This is our ending and we'll pick back up and do the final scene
[02:27:00] I don't think it in fact it depends on how much it goes. I may edit the two episodes together in the one I'm not gonna, you know throw a 30 minute download out for the last scene but That's my preferable taste joke
[02:27:15] But uh, yeah, you all take us home here We walk through the rift into Dubai and as soon as we come through the rift Wait, I thought that's what we weren't doing. It's me on the iftrace They're all watching. I don't think that's hard
[02:27:33] Also, we don't know where the rift comes out. Oh, that's right. Yeah, so we can always seal it from this end So we seal the rift I Weld it shut no not in front of the
[02:27:46] Guys they're watching the rift Aaron. There's two guards in a room. I'm sorry buddy Uh, Albert you take the one on the left. I'll get the one on the right All right, Aaron's forcing combat. I'm going to pacify one of them. All right, Aaron
[02:28:01] I'm gonna give me what now I'm giving you a stitch for being a dick. All right. That's three I wanted a cinematic ending so guys knock them out All right, we I guess two guards get blasted and the literal professional killer is like what why
[02:28:17] I didn't kill him. We just knocked him out. They're fine. No, have a headache. He'll be okay You got it. We're entering combat Aaron. Oh, okay. So it's not like okay. I did that. All right, so All right, so pacifier sun test is five
[02:28:31] So if you want to you know, you're casually walking over there and you're gonna just I'll give you the draw bottle So with this with it being like nobody's expecting anything and you're walking up or I'm gonna say difficulty four instead of five
[02:28:44] But I mean you're you're basically like tays in the bitch. I rolled a four so So You ever I remember that time that you were on admission with the russians when you were working for them and you you saw
[02:28:58] Shit going wrong and it was just like it was almost in slow motion Like you you look over door fan. You kind of nod start turning your heel Right, you know like you look over now we know
[02:29:10] There's no you look over hand to further escalate this i'm glad And then you see rick just kind of look to the side Walk over and just drop a guy He draws his pacifier and then everyone's like
[02:29:30] So I will say that you have like three civilians and one guard and they're drawing a bead Oh, I guess. Oh, I thought it was just the two guards oops There's civilians. There's another armed guards
[02:29:44] They're gonna be armed. They're gonna alert the rest of the guards not if you knock the other one out There's there's like five people in this room for now We don't already happening one other dude out
[02:29:57] Okay, well you knocked the other ones out and I'll make sure the other ones stay quiet All right go like all right, so this is combat who's going first Boy, all right. I'm just gonna I see that happen. I'm gonna spin And pacify the furthest
[02:30:14] The person closest to the door and furthest from me Okay closest to the door so you're trying to keep trying to keep something we'll say Yeah, no one leave
[02:30:24] Yeah, in fact, it's like yeah, I mean it's really not that far away because that's kind of more of a close deal You see that and without Can I spend my last stitch to What do stitches refresh because I need one if i'm gonna shoot anybody
[02:30:40] Uh stitches will put two into a general building Cool, i'm gonna refresh my shooting by two spending my last stitch Because I spent all my previous shooting on a willy mammoth
[02:30:52] I'll spend one and try and blast this guy. I guess you can shoot without like you just can't modify So if you want to know, but I'm gonna miss This is a no miss situation All right, all right
[02:31:07] I can't I I make it barely I could have just pistol whipped everybody in the room. I mean it worked last time All right, so never write this i want to see how you see it in your man's uh, so look at Look at the gorilla subtle nod
[02:31:24] Turn to leave corner of my eye rick pulls out his pacifier Freeze for like a split second realize he's gonna pacify that guy Swirl And just fire pacifier at the person closest to the door and then Turn to try and cover the rest of the crowd but like
[02:31:44] Shaking my head and disdain at this inexpert Unnecessary action no elegance No efficiency Another sign of mental instability God dammit Ethan do you think he deserves a stitch for that narration? I do Hooray I'll take it
[02:32:08] Okay, so Ethan now mind you I get to act or you get to act now I do have I have one combatant and two scientists and stuff like that So I can tell you right now as you're watching all this hell in slow motion, you know No
[02:32:27] You see somebody begin to train they're pulling up their blaster they're training it on the you know direction of where Our not Albert but rick baker is but you also see the other two people the scientist people Scrambling for consos. What do you want to do?
[02:32:49] I don't can't really let them alert everybody so this thing's still able to pacify multiple people We never fixed that sweet. I want to take them both of ones All right now here's
[02:33:02] All right, so here's here's how we're gonna handle this because I want to try these rules out Okay, so let me open my book real quick. This will be the finale. There's a page. I think it's page 86
[02:33:12] So let me look here real quick. So here's what I'm gonna say You can pretty much pacify everybody in the fucking room, but you know who else is in the fucking room You all so I mean you can you can spatter shot everyone now
[02:33:28] Um, so basically here's how we're gonna do this if you want to go through system 86 I'm trying to look for resisting the um sun damage because you can actually spend health to add a point of resisting
[02:33:39] All right when hit with a stunning weapon you must make a sun test row a dive with the sun rating of the weapon as your difficulty Uh, you may deliberately strain yourself to remain unconscious by voluntarily reducing your health pool
[02:33:53] By the amount of your choice for each you reduce it you add one die One to your die result if you strain your health below zero, you know, you get some problems So here's what we're gonna say Since this is not a refined gun
[02:34:07] I'm gonna say and this is a small enclosure and stuff like that I'm gonna say it's gonna go off and you're gonna hit stuff But I'm gonna say that everyone who wants to remain live has got to be not live
[02:34:17] But a conscious it's got to beat a difficulty five But you can spend health to add one die point to it. So I'll fuck that I'm just gonna roll But here's what I'm wanting to see if you can spin that before after
[02:34:31] I get the impression you can do this afterwards So you can spend health after you know how much you lose that makes sense So you're not gambling with health so everybody row. Okay. All right. Alrighty I rolled a six. I'm fine. I'm also able to six
[02:34:47] I got a five. Do I gotta spend that health? No, you made it. All right She's you got you guys. We're on fire Just enough to where I mean you had your Why didn't you all get shocked? Can you all tell me this?
[02:35:01] Why don't everyone come up with a good excuse for why you did not get shocked on this? I mean, it's a great move and I would like to give Ethan the stitch for that idea. Yes Uh Thor fan because of his prior
[02:35:15] His prior job, uh is very aware of weapons and what they do and it was only literally a few hours ago well a few a day ago that uh That that weapon was modified to stun more than one person and he didn't see a get modified back
[02:35:33] So he just assumed it was on wide beam. So then he hit the dirt Oh Rick, uh I got hit in the chest. I just don't feel anything anymore. So No, no, no, that's not gonna work. All right. I said a medic it All right
[02:35:50] I was John really this shit trying to be funny more than anything but Uh, I'm literally just matrix matrixing shit like there's Electrists arcs of shit fly it and I'm just like
[02:36:02] Just like dodging shit at the last minute and it culminates with me literally like sliding on my knees back fully bent As a bolt of electricity passes over my face and singes a little bit of like the hair hanging in front of my forehead
[02:36:18] So he's a combination of neo and jack Burton And uh, I will grab something to ground myself with Maybe like rip a ground wire out of a control panel or something Okay, yeah Well, you also have like you can jump and hang off of something too
[02:36:36] But yeah, yeah, you kind of you ground it and kind of look away. I guess so yeah, man Congratulations boom empty room anything else you need All right climb down and be like look at baker. It's like we could have walked out
[02:36:52] It's not how I do things chief Shoot and is is there anything you want to anything else in this room you want to do before? Um, I'm kind of see if there's anything you can close the fucking riff now. Yeah
[02:37:07] Yeah, I will weld the rift shut spend the time watch. I mean time Point and as What is this? What does this scene what's this scene gonna end on with you guys since we'll pick up with the next session
[02:37:18] So looking at rick and shaking my head and activating the the crana The auto crana is I'm Walking out of the room before he's my auto crana Looking back behind me at everyone lay on the floor
[02:37:34] I'm gonna flip the lights off close the door behind me and then I will time travel away Why is he leaving the room? He thinks he's cool. I think Let's just go Meet him there. Yeah
[02:37:49] And that was that was the first session. So yeah, we've got one scene maybe two scenes We can finish this up pretty quick. So I'll try to get you all this week. We'll kind of kick around some days
[02:38:00] Uh, like I said, we could this is this is quick. I'm sorry. I couldn't get it done quicker, but that's all right I do have to drop out though and Head out All right Thanks No problem Questions comments suggestions nope he did good time. Yeah awesome
[02:38:22] Man, like I really love this game and I'm glad we could get you involved into Joe. It's been a blast All right time travel is always fun as long as i'm not the person who's running it as a GM
[02:38:36] Oh, yeah, it can it can fuck with you a little bit. Uh, well if If that's it, I'd like to thank everybody for listening to this episode and I'll probably be tacking the next one on so you all right one to one load, but whatever see you
