Chapter 2: What is the significance of Avana in the story?

58.695 - 84.358 Unknown

Take my hand, oh lover mine, and look upon the grand, that endless night that once we planned to sail, to sail, to sail.

0

86.752 - 134.781 Excelsior

Origin, 40 suns popular folk song, surf the late first expansion. Avana, a moon owned, operated, terraformed by the Komori family. raised in acclaim to one of the five families for their efforts terraforming the 40 suns, our known galaxy. They are the distributed empire in our story. And this moon is not connected to any other planets that they control outright, but...

0

134.761 - 175.828 Excelsior

How can you say that a planet that has humanity living and breathing on it doesn't owe some crumb of fealty to the family that made that possible? The three of you sit on the arabesque. Ayasa is sleeping behind the wheel because she fell asleep in the minutes it took to use the drop of Orm. It took to cross the galaxy to get here. Questions remain. Her access, her reach.

0

176.99 - 225.058 Excelsior

But she came through for you when it was needed. The pull that became a call. A flight from Karueda. But you arrive. You see a crescent of lush, terraformed land across an otherwise barren, mid-sized moon. And Ayasa snorts, kind of rouses herself, and yells back to this small coup de ville of a cutter. Okay, we're going to land within the next... Oh, I don't have credentials to land here.

0

226.46 - 229.804 Excelsior

Okay, we'll land as soon as we solve our problem of how we're going to land.

Chapter 3: How do the characters plan to land on Ivana?

231.809 - 247.658 Excelsior

And you feel the momentum, slow and steady though it was, begin to halt even here on the ship as she turns and opens up the floor to you. How do you plan on getting onto Ivana?

0

249.646 - 277.138 Zadavin Averix

Z has kind of been pacing back and forth while Ayasa slept, just kind of going over in his head all of the moments on Karueda. I think the descriptions Chi has given of the assassin up close, but stops that train of thought to meet this new problem. What exactly is the issue? How do credentials work on a world like Ivana?

0

278.232 - 303.396 Excelsior

Essentially, just like flight plans, biggest problem here is Ayasa isn't sure if you're trying to fly stealthy and quiet or if you can take normal channels. So she's currently in a hold pattern and seems like she will help you figure out however you want to go about this, but doesn't actually know too much about the nature of your exit and why here specifically.

0

303.376 - 314.217 Excelsior

So she's just kind of like, we can do this dirtier. We can do it clean. You just have to let me know how you want to do it. And she took a nap. So you guys didn't have a chance to discuss it in like the maybe an hour you've been on the ship.

0

315.139 - 320.389 Zadavin Averix

Z is going to look to his companions. In what state does he find Chi and Excelsior?

Chapter 4: What challenges do the characters face during their approach?

321.027 - 346.976 Unknown

I'm plugged in still, but I think that probably like as the battery life, you can see that like my LED strips have filled and are now quite bright and pulsing green to yellow as I'm fully charged. And I think you can see that I'm unconscious, but my eyes have started to stream lines of code.

0

347.437 - 355.793 Unknown

So my eyes have gone fully white and there is like golden metallic code filing across them as I'm downloading new software.

0

357.663 - 373.07 Chi-Tanka

She has also taken a little nap. I'm used to grabbing it as much as I can and is doing sort of a sunrise vinyasa yoga to sort of get myself all perky again.

0

373.11 - 391.317 Zadavin Averix

Z will interrupt Cheese. Chair pose. Chair pose. Cheat. Only person who knew we got on this ship, eyes blown out, or were there others?

0

392.719 - 395.324 Chi-Tanka

No. As far as I know, that's just him.

396.406 - 407.785 Zadavin Averix

Yeah. I mean, it's not that we need to hide the arabesque, per se, but it's just, I mean, there's no manifest that says, I got on this ship.

407.832 - 414.06 Chi-Tanka

Well, unfortunately, it seems that everyone in the Foxglove Six saw us enter the Arabesque.

Chapter 5: What are the key dynamics between the characters?

415.422 - 418.046 Chi-Tanka

I don't know where their loyalties lie.

0

418.066 - 432.405 Zadavin Averix

I mean, the reality is just that if they know, they'll file a report. Whoever is trying to kill me would likely have access to the report based on the other information they've used to track me down.

0

433.432 - 458.226 Unknown

I'm going to raise my head up as I'm done charging, disconnect the charging port from myself, go, ah, thank you again for plugging me in. I'm going to stand up, click my head to the side, make a minor repair on some parts of myself that overheated in the last combat and kind of just like take out from a thing some small chips, replace them.

0

458.246 - 481.611 Unknown

You see there's some that just are small, small plastic, not anything super essential, but they just got a little bit fried or warped and replaced them with something new. And I hold my hand out for a moment. My irises sort of flash red. I take one of my hands and spin and rotate my hand on my wrist at a rotation per minute that is faster than the eye can see.

0

481.651 - 508.5 Unknown

Just one of those scary robot things of like... And I'm like manifesting that switch gears ability that if I need to, I'm still made of plastic and rubber. I'm not a hefty guy. My health doesn't go up. But this ability to, if I need to, to move into a space of movement, which is not sensual or welcoming, has been downloaded into my body as I return to that more fluid accommodating state.

508.901 - 509.001

Yeah.

509.977 - 528.259 Unknown

This ship is therefore something of a liability. Yes. If it is possible for us to land physically without registering on any data systems, that might be ideal. Is Ayasa present here with us?

528.84 - 544.794 Excelsior

She's kind of just looking over from the pilot's chair. I think she's doing the full... It's not the Captain America sitting in the chair backwards. She's kneeling on the seat rest, peeking over the top, just kind of watching you all talk.

544.814 - 554.536 Unknown

I'll turn to Ayasa and say... Is there an area of Ivana that we can possibly make landfall without registering on any data systems?

Chapter 6: How does the conversation about family relationships unfold?

572.13 - 595.867 Excelsior

Well then, just bringing it up, I can land in some of that gray space and you see she just gestures to the other un-terraformed part of the moon. I can land there and you guys can make the walk however long that takes, but if you're planning on making a long-range comm, you can just, you're going to talk to someone on this moon, right? Like, you're going to have to talk to people.

0

596.488 - 596.648 Unknown

Yeah.

0

596.668 - 596.768 Zadavin Averix

Yeah.

0

597.659 - 603.312 Excelsior

So whoever's trying to keep tabs on you is going to find you the moment you reach out.

0

604.053 - 606.178 Zadavin Averix

Well, that's a hopeful outlook. Thanks.

606.759 - 612.512 Excelsior

Sorry. I'm just, look, I'm trying to keep lines of communication open.

613.083 - 630.268 Unknown

When communications are sent from the Arabesque, do you have the ability to remove location information from those communiques? Is there any possibility of us communicating with the Averex from the Arabesque, which after all, they do know we are currently aboard, without having to give a location signal or at least scramble that frequency?

631.009 - 636.357 Excelsior

Everyone give me a will roll. The difficulty is going to be a nine.

636.657 - 647.261 Zadavin Averix

I will sense motive and roll with advantage. I got a one. I got a nine on my first roll. And a nine is what we'll do. Six.

Chapter 7: What technological solutions are proposed for communication?

698.161 - 702.928 Excelsior

Um, okay. Let me work on it. I think I can. This is that important. Yeah. Yeah.

0

703.313 - 709.701 Unknown

Sadovin is having his life threatened. Yes, I think it's extremely significant. Absolutely. Okay.

0
0

711.804 - 718.212 Unknown

Hold, please. You're in a chair. We don't have to hold. We're all standing here. We can move to the back. Would you like us to leave?

0

718.352 - 719.394 Chi-Tanka

Give you a second.

719.614 - 725.001 Unknown

Yeah, go. Go. Great. We'll give you some space. Thank you. Thank you.

725.116 - 732.844 Chi-Tanka

She kind of shoes you all. It's not that big a ship. We just kind of move like six feet backwards and turn away from her.

732.864 - 743.896 Unknown

At best, there's a beaded curtain. I'm going to stand partially in the beaded curtain and look at Zadav and she... I'm very sorry about what you witnessed back on Karueda.

745.417 - 746.218 Chi-Tanka

You saved our life.

Chapter 8: How does the episode conclude with the characters' plans?

747.599 - 754.302 Chi-Tanka

You being a little bit freaky is definitely... That makes up for it.

0

754.784 - 757.332 Zadavin Averix

Freaky's one word. I'd use useful.

0

759.198 - 787.253 Unknown

You have paid me a very high compliment indeed. I hope that I can remain useful, although I hope I am not useful in that way again, and that fortune conspires to make us no longer have to resort to those terrible measures. I have downloaded software that, should we find ourselves in a similar situation, I will be able to help defend and protect us to the best of my ability.

0

788.127 - 801.082 Unknown

We were in significant danger in Juarez before that, even at the bar. But the assassin that was attacking us, when it became clear that it was not only Zadavin's life, but Ms.

0

801.102 - 816.379 Unknown

Tanka's life that was in jeopardy, even though that assassin was a sentient being whose unique experiences constituted a version of reality that cannot be replaced in his absence, the same can be said both for Zadavin and Chi. Two is more than one.

817.912 - 827.787 Chi-Tanka

Thank you. I really hope that we will never have to put you in that position again. How successful are coals, would you say?

827.827 - 831.573 Zadavin Averix

How often are they successful? Depends on who's executing them.

832.194 - 833.315 Chi-Tanka

So you're saying there's a chance?

834.297 - 835.979 Zadavin Averix

That I die?
