56.275 - 93.935 Aabria Iyengar

This is the sound of worlds beyond number. Perhaps it is simultaneously too crass and reductionist to frame this as a simple product of biological determinism. But the millennial-long streamlining of a hundred hundred powerful familial factions into but a handful of noble bloodlines in the modern era speaks to an undeniable evolutionary component.

Chapter 4: How does the character Zadavin Ivirex react to the threat?

93.955 - 144.641 Aabria Iyengar

Closer's Histories Zadavin Ivirex, a Trent of House Ivirex, intercepted on Janapar for a pull by House Jemis Octavo, which was interrupted violently on Karlueda. where we find you now. You stand on slanted, unstable earth, at the lip of the Zelen caldera, bathed in horrid green light diffused through the bitter-scented fog, holding a score of massive, deep space ships aloft.

144.661 - 162.639 Aabria Iyengar

Your shoulder, shot clean through with a high-caliber ordnance, begins to hurt in earnest. Your assailant is on the move. Excelsiel is very much on the move. You and Chitanga need to move.

0

Chapter 5: What strategies are discussed for dealing with political intrigue?

163.961 - 169.549 Aabria Iyengar

This is not a pull. This is a call. What do you want to do?

0

172.713 - 189.298 Erika Ishii

I think in this moment, as the daven recognizes that all signs point to call and not pull, there is a deep, cold sensation that... I think freezes him in this moment.

Chapter 6: What role does technology play in the characters' survival?

190.58 - 217.509 Erika Ishii

There is a pause and an emptiness of mind that comes over him as he, I think maybe for the first time in his life, feels like it is under threat and is just going to look at Chi. They're going to kill me. They're going to kill me. It's a call. This is... It's another Averix.

Chapter 7: How do the characters navigate their relationships with powerful families?

217.71 - 220.052 Brennan Lee Mulligan

They're going to... Your family is doing this?

0

220.373 - 225.819 Erika Ishii

Yes. Yes. Yes. I don't... We can't get on the ship.

0

227.141 - 233.128 Brennan Lee Mulligan

No. No, we can't. And I look back towards where the Arabesque had docked.

0

233.615 - 237.119 Aabria Iyengar

I told her to hang back in case we needed it out. Right.

0

Chapter 8: What are the implications of the final Orm jump for the characters?

237.159 - 245.869 Aabria Iyengar

But she's not docked. She's moving and staying in a dark spot where things are strobing. So she's circling the block for you. Does that make sense? I see. I see. Yeah. Sorry.

0

247.591 - 254.539 Brennan Lee Mulligan

All right. They can't make it back. And Jemis Octavo will cooperate with the Avericks?

0

254.559 - 266.198 Erika Ishii

If there's no one in the high houses that would make a deal. I, we can't, I can't. Even, even with everything between me and Isolde, I don't, it's not, it's not the move.

0

267.54 - 292.984 Brennan Lee Mulligan

It's not the move, okay. I do some math in my head at this moment. Five houses versus one shot in the shoulder man that I'm standing next to. Would it really be worth sticking my neck out for this trend?

0

294.025 - 324.438 Aabria Iyengar

Oh, fun. I want you to tell me what you want to roll, and I can maybe help play with the abacus in your mind a little bit. The difficulty, regardless, this is a big, good question. Use whatever you want, but you got to get to a 10. And as a little reminder, you can spend grit. I'll keep reminding you because I'm the reason no one thinks of that right away.

324.458 - 349.77 Brennan Lee Mulligan

I do have only four grit to spend right now. I think I'm going to do a will roll to try and analyze this situation. I'm going to burn three grit for it and I get a plus two for political and corporate intrigue. So I need to get a five on a D10. Okay. I get a 50-50 shot here. You can do that. I can do that.

351.755 - 383.974 Aabria Iyengar

Oh, my God. I rolled a one. You are trying to think and assess whether it's worth risking your life, risking Ayas's life, to stay involved with this Trent. This is the biggest fish that you've had in the little pond of Jenipar. And I think, I think your one gives you a little bit of an Ahab complex. But you don't want to let this big fish go.

385.253 - 404.942 Aabria Iyengar

So what's the likelihood that it was a cull the whole time? Maybe, maybe this is a couple families working against each other? There's gotta be a way for you to stay in this fight, get him to safety and get what you want.

409.289 - 428.859 Brennan Lee Mulligan

Zadavin, it occurs that you need to die. What? You need to die. I take my pistol that we got off of the ship and I fire it twice into the ground.
