heading stages globally now.
Book at tour dot auntie donna.com.
A listener production.
Giday everyone.
Welcome to a very, very special episode of the Auntie Donner podcast
where we have a resident dungeon master Matthew Jackson
taking myself and Zach through a very exciting
cyberpunk neo-noir adventure.
We hope you enjoy.
You're listening to the Aunty Donner Podcast.
The greatest fucking podcasts in the world.
Broo-mic attack and sometimes and guests,
we hope you enjoy the motherfucking podcast.
Hello, dear Auntie Donna podcast listeners.
We have a very, very special episode.
You all loved it when it happened last year.
and now we're doing it again
because one of us isn't here.
But one day we'll do it with all of us.
Yeah, but the setup is so neat for three this podcast.
That's true.
That's true.
So it makes some sense that,
but I like that it's rolling last time it was me and Broden,
this time it's me and you.
But please tell everyone.
We have the incredible Matthew Jackson.
Matthew, how are you?
Thank you for having me.
I'm having a great time.
That's fair.
ready as well.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
And we haven't even begun our adventure.
A bit of a fan favourite pod.
People were requesting your return.
They loved, they had a lot of fun.
They loved that.
They got stuck right in, mate.
Stuck right in.
It was a fun one.
It was very fun.
And now we're going to go on another adventure.
Do you want to tell us a little bit about Matthew and also what it is that we're doing today, Mark?
Matthew is the host and co-creator of Trope RPG, a podcast on the Grass House Network
that I also frequent on.
Yeah, I think it's fair to say.
Yeah, no, it's truthful.
Yeah, it's fair.
It's factual.
Factual and truthful and fair.
And now on the Trope RPG, you've got your own YouTube channel now?
Yeah, yeah.
Yes, we do.
Millie Hilton is the creator.
We write it together.
I just do the hosting.
She also shadow DMs.
I don't know if that's like known.
I have like a live feed with her feeding me information and directing the games as we go.
So we do it together.
It makes me live really good.
I've been on it, and I didn't know that.
But also, you are a computer boy.
Yes, I'm a computer boy.
You love computers.
And you make a video game.
And you made a video game, which was the pick-a-packs, was it not?
It was.
So, it was, the video game in question is called My Arms are Longer Now.
You play as a very long arm that does heists.
It is a dumb comedy, 2D game.
You, like, move around, like, dodging lasers, going through vents.
You know, putting on a sock puppet to romance guards
to get them to leave their posts, stuff like that.
Absolutely.
And it's coming out next year,
and it's available to wish list on Steam.
Wishlisted it on Steam.
God damn it.
It's very cool.
Like, supporting, like, indie creators
and little games like that has been a little...
I really...
I'm a big video game Donkey fan,
and I loved Animal Well,
and Star of Providence just came out,
and I love that as well.
And this is like, what these guys are doing,
what Matthew and Millie are doing.
Because Millie's involved in this as well, isn't she?
Yeah, Millie's the sort of creative director.
How big is your team?
So it's me and Millie, and then we have, like, four people
who do, like, one to two days a week.
That's amazing.
But, like, artist and a programmer, you know.
I watched a video, I'm not much of a Game Boy.
I'm a man.
Game Boy's a small console.
No, but I watched a video about Rollercoaster Tycoon
and the journey of that game.
One man.
One of the last.
one man sort of things and how it like in mind-boggling how it's created.
There's still a lot of games made by one person.
Sorry, and what I should say is that that was the narrative was that that was one
on the last one-man games.
It was the last one that I think blew up to the level, the idea that now...
It was so weird because it was like, and I could be mistaken because I haven't looked
it for a while and please correct me.
But that game was like built from scratch.
Because like the one-man teams that you have today or like even small teams like us,
we're using all of these like public tools and like you know.
and like all this stuff that's pre-built
that you're standing on the shoulders of giants
whereas like for roller coaster tycoon
it's like insanely efficient, runs perfect
and is like simulating like thousands of people coming on
and going around rides all this physics stuff
and some and just some some yeah he just
same with animal well that came out recently
and blew up massive and Bellatra as well one dude
but this is I think that's the thing is very interesting
because I'm a film guy I love my movies
and that that's a world that's gone to the two
$200, $300 billion things, the teams of thousands,
and how much harder it is for smaller things to cut through.
And it's like I just imagine it's a very similar situation
where people should be, if they want stuff that's interesting,
if they want more than just the three-star Drek,
you've got to get out there.
Not, I'm, this is not really my Auntie Donner brand.
I'm bringing the Solozac brand here.
But truly, if you want, if you can't complain about three-star Drek
and also not support stuff by smaller creators.
What's called my arms?
My arms are longer now.
My arms are longer now.
It's a great idea.
It's very, very cool.
But we are here to go on a bit of a bit of a new thing.
You know, it's interesting we're talking about computers.
Oh, yeah.
And we're talking about technology.
Because I think it's time, if I may, to whisk you away.
You've got your sheets.
We have a set.
We're doing a role playing game.
We're doing a role playing game.
We're going to head into an RPG land.
So, I will whisk you away, but we don't need to move far.
We're just going to move far into the future.
Oh.
It is Melbourne.
Oh.
It is the year 21, 25.
Oh, 100 years have passed.
And our city has transformed into a neon skyline, just like packed.
The CBD expanded out, endless miles, giant high-rises.
You see the sort of sweeping ring.
flat.
Turak's still dead flat.
No tower's here.
It's a dip.
You see like there's even like a no fly zone or the cars going around.
It's also not raining over Turak.
It's raining everywhere else.
They really figured it out.
Yeah, they got it.
They got it.
And we're going to sort of zoom in, sort of pass the neon signs,
past the sort of like smoke rising out of the vents of different buildings.
into the high-up office of the chief of police.
Her name, the chief Ursa, is briefing U-Mark.
As we see sort of the, you've been summoned up here.
The elevator doors opening as you come in.
It's dimly lit in here with sort of red light.
There is sort of a strange sort of synthetic hum of a sound in the air.
that you know blocks specific audio recording equipment.
Similarly, the light that sort of bathing this room blocks any recording.
So you're in a truly isolated space where no one can hear or record what you're doing.
And as you walk up to this big McCogany desk that she stands behind,
sort of white shirt, sleeves rolled up, you can see the holster with a gun right next to her.
What does our grizzled beat cop look like?
Who are you cast by?
Who am I cast by?
What do we see?
Yeah, all right.
Well, I'm large.
I'm larger than most men.
I'm like Jack Reacher large.
Okay.
You know, the new Jack Reacher series.
Yeah.
I'm not familiar.
I wish I was.
He's big.
He's fucking huge.
What do we show?
We're talking like six and a half foot?
Eight and a half foot is so tall.
And three foot wide.
You're scraping your head.
Yeah, but it's the future.
So people have, their doors accommodate.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
And for it, like, yes, yeah, yeah, yeah.
You're still, like, ducking underneath, but, like, you're, you're sort of almost genetically
perfectly in this moment as your sort of, like, rippling muscles come through the door.
What do we talk about clothing?
I have, I have, well, first of all, I have stubble all over my body.
Wow.
No stubbleless.
Uncovered head to toe in stubble, right?
Except around the eyes and the cheeks, like, that's gone.
But my neck, my body, my legs, my arms up into my wrists, stabbled, right?
And I'm wearing the tightest, the singlet that I'm wearing is so tight that the stubble sticks out of it.
Tank top for anyone in the US?
A tank top.
Nice.
And then just like cunty little shorts.
I'm going to say that you have taken some sort of futuristic steroids and stubble on every part of the skin is absolutely a bad side effect.
Okay, all right, yeah.
But, you know, but also, also there's like some people in the future find that really hot.
Yeah.
Yeah, I'm sure.
There's a bit of the day.
Yeah.
There's a particular thing, you know, I'm wearing these tiny little shorts, socks above my
knees, boots that are just like four kilos each.
They're just so steel cap.
As you sort of, you walk up to the desk, you see her, she's smoking, she sort of puts it out
as you come closer.
You're wearing a name tag with your badge.
What is your, what's your name?
It says Officer Sausage Gumbo.
Officer Sausage Gumbo.
as you come in she goes
Gumbo
you know we've had our differences
but I got one
that only you can look into
God damn it
what's this goddamn task
that's good enough for Gambo
calm down
all right sorry sorry sorry
I just I'm excited
I haven't eaten and I've had four coffees this morning
she walks over to the windows
where she presses a button
and like the sort of automated slats
like tilt slightly
to like let out the
sort of the evening light, the dusk light sort of coming in.
As she pulls on her cigarette, she goes,
high up corporate official at Gamadine.
Apparently he's oft himself in his apartment.
Jesus!
She just takes a note to look at you.
Jesus Christ, they're still doing that?
It's actually out of the ordinary.
Yeah.
Haven't had a suicide case like this in quite some time
and something doesn't seem right.
That's us.
That's us.
You're the only cop.
You're the only cop in my unit that I don't think has touched any of that filthy gamadine money.
No, no, no, no way, man.
No friggin' way.
I say no to gamadine.
You know, I don't fucking like you.
Why?
I'm all right.
Sausage?
Yeah.
I don't understand how you made your way onto my.
force. Well, I can take you through it if you want. I started, I was a recruit, right? And there's
a long story. Yeah, yeah. And as you're going through it, she's typing on like an intercom
system, a little like CRT that's like come up out of the desk that's like flickering with so green light
as she puts it. She goes, she cuts you off like so 10 minutes into your story.
Because I had nothing passed. I started as a recruit. Is Mark going to know the ranks of police here?
He is working himself into an improv
I'm so glad. I didn't have to keep going on that.
She says, as she cuts you off, she goes,
but the new legislation kicked in last week.
Oh.
You won't be going alone.
What?
For checks and balances, we need to send a synth with you.
No, no.
Rising from the floor,
a sort of tube that sort of comes up out of the ground
and we see sort of as the smoke clears.
Zach, what does your character look like?
a synthetic human, a synthetic detective.
Well, still they are bubbling and brewing.
Okay, yeah.
So the skin is moving.
So the skin looks kind of a little rubbery but largely real.
But underneath it, it's like there's almost like ball bearings.
It's like shifting and moving.
Because I've decided, and I hope that is that these synthetic humans are able to change
their internal structure.
The skin is physical.
right and there's an amount of that
but it has a bit of stretch
but they can change how they look
not like through hologram
or not through like you have an
internal mesh of mechanics
that can sort of move your bone structure
bone structure muscular structure
so I can look like pretty much anything
but in a very horrific transformative way
it's like cheek will go up
so what's it settling into right now
what's like the default that it's sort of coming form
it is settling into
it is settling into a sultry dark-haired woman with dark red lips
and that's not lipstick it's just like it's just like flushing the
it comes it fades up it fades up stunning beautiful uh sultry woman and as the as
as this sort of like settles into position uh the chief ursa sort of presses a button and the liquid
It starts to drain from the tube.
It slides open.
And as you sort of stumble out, she says,
Synthetic, state your name and your directive.
Hello, my name is C7912.
It's very much in the same way of a level one improv class stating their name.
How are you today?
God damn it, I hate synthetics.
I don't want to work with no milkman
Because their blood is white like milk
So they're referred to as milkmen
Yeah
Yeah yeah
Or milkmaids
And I say you know
Listen I understand that there has been
Some issues with synthetics in the past
But I
We have worked on those
We now change our appearance
To be pleasing to our co-workers
As I get to know you
I will change my appearance for you
To suit your liking
We haven't changed
We haven't fixed the voice thing yet
Yeah, it's weird.
It's weird.
It's weird because physically you are everything I desire.
I can get in there.
I can get in there.
It just scrambles it, scrambles it, scrambles it.
Try now.
Hello.
Okay.
You fucked it.
You fucked it.
We got this.
We got this.
Oh, hello.
All right.
Well, all right.
Now, okay, my opinion's changing a little maybe.
Okay, it might wear off.
Let's see how it goes.
Oh.
Yeah, hello.
Beautiful.
Beautiful.
C-7-9-1-Z.
You're up to date with the Academy's
current programming and directives
of stopping crime.
Yeah, absolutely.
And also, at any terminal, I can reboot.
So if any of the laws change in the next couple days,
I'm happy to reboot.
I'll keep us up to track.
Well, you listen to me, C.
I don't do things by the book, you see.
I get things done my way.
Does not compute, does not compute.
All right, all right, sorry.
I went too far.
I pushed it too hard too quick.
This poor machine.
You fools, look, listen,
something doesn't smell right at this suicide.
I'm sending you to this penthouse.
Did they shit them?
You can find out at the scene.
How the fuck am I supposed to?
Is that really at the top of the programming list?
Well, I'm sorry, since something doesn't smell right.
I'm in you synthetic?
I still am figuring out.
It doesn't smell right as in the features of this case don't add up.
Right.
Oh, sorry, figure of speech.
I'm still working them out.
Yep.
All right.
I feel like maybe I should have sent you on something else,
like even just to go do some shopping or something.
Oh, you didn't.
Did you?
I said to you when you got me,
I said,
can you just put me on some traffic detail until I figure out turns of fries?
Well, I forgot about it.
We got him on a potential murder case that's been covered up as a suicide.
This is like the hardest.
This is hard.
And we have a like smash cut from that to your sort of squad car landing down in an alley.
It is sort of busy.
People sort of move out of the way so that they don't get crushed by the squad car.
As it comes down and it lands, the door swings up and open as you both come out.
As it's standard.
As it's all cars for here.
And you see the AI on the car immediately lifts it up into the sky and takes it away.
you are in this sort of like dense alleyway alleyway 4388 it is crowded with market vendors people shouting people moving along the rain sort of falteringly hits you mostly just dripping off of like the awnings and street signs and the cars that are rushing overhead you see down at the end of this alleyway the gamadine apartments the sort of corporate apartments where this crime occurred or alleged crime
Is there anything you'd like to do in this alleyway in the city
before you head straight to the crime scene?
Check out the shops.
Yeah, I'd happily check out of the shops.
Also, I mean, I came out of that tube nude.
Oh, yeah, so we've got to get you some.
We got to get just a pair of pants and a t-shirt.
We go to speak to one of the market vendors
who were selling some sort of future with the garb.
Okay, you go to one of the market vendors.
It's mostly like food and stuff,
and you sort of head into one of these sort of thin shop
fronts that's just sort of like it's basically like a hallway and at the end of it is the
where the person sort of proceeds the proceed processes all of those sort of goods as it checks
out but there's also like a number of sort of self-service machines it seems like a railing
of different clothes just like slides through the shop and you sort of can punch him what you need
like a monster's ink door situation yeah you see sort of like a very small man sort of gray hair
sort of in the booth at the very end and he looks up at you he goes hey what
What the hell?
What are you coming in here naked for?
I'm a synthetic.
I don't have my clothes yet.
Synthetic.
Hey.
I would argue that coming in naked to a clothes store makes a lot of sense.
Look, listen, buddy, I don't know what you're doing here with your fucking sex robot,
but put some clothes on it.
I'm a goddamn officer of the law, and I've got clothes on, don't I?
And I'm an officer of the law, too.
What?
I'm an officer of the law too, thank you very much.
You present your badge?
I present my badge.
I pull it out of it.
my skin. Disgusting.
Oh, God, damn.
Look, I ain't too happy about this either, all right?
Let me level with you.
My name's sausage gumbo.
Okay, didn't ask.
All we need.
Yeah, but I like telling people.
All we need is some goddamn clothes for this person here.
Now, I would love maybe some sort of...
Before you ask, you mentioned earlier that you want futuristic garb.
I don't want to do any sort of costume here.
I'd like to wear contemporary clothing.
Of course.
I'd like to wear the contemporary clothing of 2125.
You'll hear because of that gamadine guy that killed him.
himself. Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, what's this? What are you talking about? The one up in the
penthouse, you can see it out of window. As soon as I get some pants, I would love to ask you
about this. And a shirt. But if I could get some pants and a shirt. We got pants, we got shirts.
Can I grab a shirt off to suggest for you? Yeah. And it says, it's got I and a love heart
on it and then a picture of Alf, the alien, who is actually the mayor of Melbourne. Yeah,
it's just odd that they look the same, exactly the same as the puppet. This is the equivalent of being like,
I need some clothes
and you stop in at one of the like
tourist convenience shops like
just off like Flinders Street.
Yeah, should have probably gotten
some clothes. I don't know why your fucking
boss didn't get me out of the
tube. Put me in some clothes.
Put me on an officer's uniform. Like we've got a
traffic detail. Yeah. Rather than get me
out of the tube while you were there.
Yeah. Insane. They're naked
straight on a murder. Very dramatic
murder case. I'll say this as you're sort of putting the clothes
on. Put some pants. Yeah.
So it says I love and a picture of Alf
But that is the mayor of Melbourne
They just happen to look exactly like
And do you know what's happening?
Yeah, we all know about the Alf
I know, I'm just saying
An elf is sick
I voted for Alf
My skin starts to bubble and pop
My insides move
Hair starts poking out of my paws
Because I think
Well if he chose a picture of Alf
And I evolve into
An exact replica of Alf
Fuck yeah
Oh yeah
Okay
Hey
you're going to pay for those clothes
Mr Mayor, no
Yeah, yeah, I'm the Mayor
You're not the Mayor, I saw it happen
It's just confused me
We'll trick the next guy
Yeah, we'll trick the next person
Yeah, happy to pay
Yeah, well I'm a goddamn cop look at my badge
Showing my badge
Look at my chest
I show him stubble
Okay
I say, what do you think of that?
I mean, yeah
You may touch it if you wish
Apparently some people find this attractive
Can you roll a persuasion check for me
Can you do a persuasion of three?
I got two
He reaches out to touch
He goes
Ow, God damn it
It's sharp
Not for everyone
I completely understand
And I apologize
You said you saw something
About this goddamn
We see the dead guy
In the window
Everybody on the street
Seeing it
What happened
What did you see?
No, I see the dead guy
In the window
You can still see him
In the window
Squeeze me
Hey come on
Come on
What did you hear
What did you see
As he's as he sort of
Look I'll show you
As he leads you out
Into the alleyway
and he points and it's really hard to see
but high up and occasionally it's obscured
by cloud cover and it does take you
a moment to perceive this
but you can see
sort of in the window still
like nothing's been done to cover it
is a man sort of slumped
dead in a desk chair
he's clearly like it's a mess
of his head it's hard to tell from this like great distance
but he goes look that's a fucking dead guy
at the top of the Gamadine apartment's building
Wow
Shit, bro
Yeah, I assume that's what you're here to look at
It is what we're here to look at
But what did you hear?
Did you hear anything?
Did you hear any sort of commotion?
Hey, I ain't heard nothing.
You didn't hear nothing?
Why are you being so suspect, brother?
Hey, here's the thing
And then I transform my elf hand
into a big boxing fist.
I'm going to pummel you if you don't tell me
what you're keeping from us.
Can you give me a resolve?
Yeah.
Just the red one.
Can you give me a resolve of four?
Eight.
Beautiful.
As you sort of like press up against him and like even just by like the enmeshment of your hand like enlarging and turning red because you're like pushing your synthetics.
Like you're supposed to take on human forms.
But you're like pushing it to have this sort of crazy red hulk fist.
And he starts to shake.
He goes, look, look.
all I know is the
Gambadine folks
They didn't let no one go in or out
Of his apartment
Nobody entered
He was he was on his own
So you must have killed himself okay
But
I don't know
They do shady shit
In that building
They do shady shit
What have you heard
Let me just write this down
Gamadine does
Shady
Shit
I say what have you heard
What kind of shady stuff
Have you heard
This is then
And it pulls you in further
He goes, I hear they do, they do some illegal synth fights.
Sometimes they place a human against a synth, sometimes synths against sins.
But, you know, we ain't supposed to fight them.
They feel pain, but...
It's fun.
It's illegal.
It's illegal, but it's fun.
I understand the appeal.
You fuck with that?
No, I'll stop it.
I'll stop it if I say it.
I just understand the appeal.
Listen, I can't be seen talking to you.
You've got to get out of here.
All right, all right.
We'll get the hell out of here.
Yeah.
And those clothes are on the house.
What, no, you pay me
Yeah?
Okay, it would have been a really low roll
But the way you said, yeah
It's got to bring it up
Can you give me
Can you give me a resolve of six?
Eight
He goes, geez, okay, yeah, all right, leave, take them, take them.
Yeah, right.
Can I just say something?
Everyone's on glib blob now.
Why aren't they all?
Why? All the kids are on GlibGlob.
They should be reading Instagram, like smart people.
Very good.
It's the future.
It's the future.
I get Alf.
I put Alf on my back.
I turn my rocket boots up.
We fly up to the window.
You fly up to the window.
Okay.
All right.
By now I've transformed into a backpack.
Can you give me?
Can you give me?
But a flesh-colored backpack.
Okay.
That just happens, I guess.
This is something I'll deal with the fact that you can do this from now.
My boots were four kilos each.
What do you think they were hiding in there?
Yeah.
And every step, there's like a little rocket to help you lift them.
Yeah, exactly. Yeah.
You as you go up, people are like, what the fuck?
Because most things are like magnetically lifted these days.
And you're fully like scorched earth underneath you.
I'm rocketeering.
The weird thing about rockets is they're great at like acceleration.
The stopping is like not great.
Like the hovering.
Yeah.
So, what's your aim here?
Do you want to try and hover in front of the window?
Straight shot.
You want to go through the window?
We want to go up and into the window.
Okay, okay, up and into the window.
Yeah.
Window is closed.
I thought you said it was open.
No, it was just big, like, wide.
My mistake, through the window.
Can't stop it now.
Can you give me a resolve?
Can you give me a resolve of 10?
Five.
You both fully just like, you do this full assent, like 200 feet up.
And you're like,
it takes like 30 seconds
so what's the conversation you have
like as you're just like
I can go I reckon this is going to work
I'm just the mouth at the top of the backpack
disgusting
it's like oh I really wish you'd checked with me
first besides this rocket technology
is from like the 2070s man
why don't you use a magnet technology
well you obviously weren't completely unwilling
we just get like a boom
as you don't break the glass
you just slam in
to the glass, you see
another cop on the inside.
What the heck?
Who's standing on the other side
of the tape to keep the crime scene pristine?
As he turns around, he just looks at you as you're like,
I give him a big thumbs up.
I'm like,
where he?
Hey, what the, wait, oh my God, sausage gumbo, gumbo, gumbo.
And he like rushes over to the door, he steps over the body.
He's like, you see him like accidentally
mess up some papers on the table.
He's contaminating these crime scene
He hits a button
and the window
starts to open
can I get combined from both of you
I'll say this is a resolve
of let's say together
you have to get a 10 to not just fall down
7 15
Okay so you managed to clamber in
and not drop 200 feet
Thank God
as you slide into the crime scene
This is
This is a
a junior police officer
that's he's only been working here for like a couple of
a couple of weeks his name is Jancy
he's got sort of red hair
young guy
skittish
you could set you sort of like
piece together pretty quickly
actually I'll get you to make a
give me an analysis of two
for either both of you see if either of you hit it
I hit nine
I hit three okay well you both know
he's definitely
been picked because he's also so fresh he probably hasn't been corrupted yet by gamuton
that stuff that the police chief was talking about um he goes i was expecting you to come up
the elevator what are you doing here we're investigating this apparent suicide jancy which by the way
you fucked up the crime scene mate i should i should i let you drop what the fuck is that backpack
I guess the backpack got a mouth?
Yeah, yeah, yeah, that's a sympathetic.
How you do it?
I imagine just like eyes on a backpack.
But the eyes are at different points.
It's like a mouth at the top
and then the eyes are kind of near the front pocket.
Hey, bro, what's up?
Hey, what's your vibe?
You seem really nervous.
What would calm you down?
What's the kind of person that would make you feel nice and calm?
Not a backpack, I don't think.
Any celebrities like Tom Cruise Jr., four?
I'll have Tom Cruise, Junior, Junior, Junior, Jr.
Yeah.
Tom Cruise, Junior, Jr., junior, junior, no worries, but.
But unfortunately, I've only seen a couple of pictures of Tom Cruise, Junior, Jr.
So I turn into a 2D version.
So I'm completely flat.
Mission impossible pose constantly.
Just I'm in a pose and I'm like completely wobbly, wobbly and flat.
Does this bring you, and the mouth, because it's formed into the, the mouth is just also,
It's not like a real
It's at the stomach
The mouth is there in image
But the speaking
This is happening from a slit on the stomach
And the eyes
Also in the legs
There you go Jancy
Hey buddy
Nice and calm
I'm gonna go
I'm glad you're here
I'm gonna go wait downstairs
With all those
Wait a second
Before you go Jancy
Who's been in and out of here
Who's come in
Who's come out?
What have you seen?
There were a couple of executives
who were trying to get in here earlier, but I didn't let them.
Good boy, Jancy.
Did you get their names, Jancy?
No, they're in the lobby downstairs.
They've been trying since this morning.
What do they look like?
There was a lady with blonde hair, and there was a guy with,
he's got like this weird scar on his neck.
And a scar man, he's probably a villain.
What?
Oh, if he has a scar, it probably means he's a bad guy.
I've done enough of these cases to know that that's sort of like a trope.
You know what I'm saying?
But you stare at a wall?
expecting a camera
I'm going to be a little more
like I'm not going to assume
the scar guy is a bad guy
because I experience prejudice as a sin
of course you do
so I wouldn't assume anything
I'm going to let you do your thing
okay
all right Jancy
I want you to stay
right where
fucking right here
yeah you stay here Jancy
they're going to offer you a lot of money
don't do it bro
can you give me an analysis
of five
20 crushing these rolls
Oh my god
With that tip top role
He's been
Jancy's been bought
You read it on his face
Like I'd say in your synthetic vision
You're like
Like all the sort of numbers
The little sort of like circles
Highlighting sort of micro expressions
Going over his face
You see like an immense shame
As he sort of looks around the room
And it's like as it scans further and further
You see like the x-ray scan
Inside of his pocket
Where you're able to like read his digital
card that contains, like, the credits that have been flooded into his account.
I turn into a snake, like a big python, and I wrap myself around Jancy's neck.
Nice.
Okay, so you say, actually, so you say, thanks, Jatsy, thanks for your work, stay here.
And then you, like, look back at him and horribly transform into a snake and wrap around his neck.
And in midair, horribly transform, wrap around.
Okay, can you give me a resolve?
Mm-hmm.
He's going to compete with it.
Jancy's not too hot.
That's a one.
I got an eight.
Okay, yeah, you're still, I have to clarify.
You're a synthetic that's supposed to look like people.
So your snake is like flesh-colored, little vestigial arms and legs, as it wraps around in, Tom Cruise's face at the end of it.
And he goes, what are you doing?
And I go, well, I don't really know what's going on yet, right?
So just quick, what's going on?
He's been bored.
Jesus fucking Christ.
Jancy, how much are they paying you?
No, they pay me a lot.
What did they pay you for?
What are they trying to hide?
I let him come in here.
They took, they were looking for, they were looking for a synth,
something he was working on.
What do you mean working on?
What do you mean?
What do you mean working on?
They didn't tell me.
No, but they paid you a bunch of money, didn't they, Jancy.
Just to let them in, please.
I ought to die.
Do you want to die, Jancy?
Can you give me a resolve of just a two?
Nine.
Thank you.
He points at a ledger on the table.
He was like, look, they were doing, they were doing the fights and he made something, he's made something, some sort of freak synth chip that will remove their pain.
Oh, right, so I pick up the, I pick up the journal.
Do you relax off of his neck?
No, I throw him out the window.
I think that's fair.
As you sort of slide him over to the window,
do you have like intentions for this or do you just want to kill him?
I say to him, I say there's one thing that's consistent with our synths.
I'll say you're like dangling him, his face to your face.
We don't like rule breakers.
I'll follow the rules.
I say, aren't you about to, are you about to break a rule?
No.
Yeah, no, right.
Murder is a human on human crime.
Don't do this.
That's that synth thing.
I'm thinking for you.
Don't do this.
Don't do this.
Sorry, Bucco.
Out the window he goes.
You let go and you get,
you see people in the street.
You see the clothes vendor from like down before.
Also, I guess from your transformations, your clothes for free.
Completely torn apart.
They've fallen off.
Well, actually, no, I kept them in the backpack.
Okay, good.
So now they're in like a kangaroo pouch on my snake body.
I just want to clarify, the backpack was you.
Yeah.
So you're like, I can't.
get them in the backpack.
Did you like swallow them at one point?
Yeah, sort of folded around them.
Disgusting.
He's falling.
You can see he tumbles out the window, falling, falling, falling, falling.
Before he hits the ground.
Okay.
I kick off my rocket boots, aim him for his feet so that they land on his feet and then right
before he hits, they kick in and he just lands softly.
I just want to scare him.
I can't kill another officer.
This is so insane.
can you give me
this is going to be a
first give me an analysis
first give me an analysis of three
one
okay you
this is for your aim
so you kick off the boot out the window
and it just
and it knocks him in the head
as he's falling
oh no
he smashes into the ground
he is just pulped onto the ground
and you're
both very visibly like this is a visible location from the ground as we have as we have
canonized and everyone's seen this happen well i try you know i tried yeah i tried to save him
and i look at you i look at you and i say let this be a clear lesson i follow the rules
all right all right c seven nine 12 i understand okay we're going to do this the right way
You just killed a man.
You die like heaths.
You just killed a man.
This is the future, man.
I'm police, I'm judge, I'm jury and executioner.
You got milk blood.
I got milk blood, motherfucker.
And I'll do the same to you if you cross me.
All right, just calm down.
Calm down.
Is this good tension for your show?
Calm the fuck down.
I look through the ledger.
Okay, so you give me an analysis.
Give me an analysis of two.
To learn more than what you put.
Two, yes, thank God.
So yes, there is like some, you sort of piece, pull together some facts here.
As you sort of, that moment of tension, like, doesn't dissipate as much as you both just have to get on with the work.
But you still feel that sort of like animosity between the two of you and your stars are working.
As you sort of bury yourself into the paperwork, you see, yes, he was, he had illegally and sort of innovatively removed a pain chip from a synthetic person called E. Eliza.
112.
It seems that the chip was removed for it to gain an advantage in a legal underground synth lighting ring.
You would know from the information here that the pain rule chip did nothing to remove the synthetic sense of self, its sense of self-preservation, or its emotions.
If anything just wanted, you can see in the notes here,
wanted to create some sort of mental dissonance
that would make it fight harder
and to the abandon of its own psyche.
Are you, C719-I-Z?
You can just call me safer.
C, C, well, what are you looking at?
Are you just sort of trying to take everything in
in this apartment?
Are you looking at the body?
I'm looking at the body.
Okay, can you give me an analysis?
Can you please hit a 5 form?
me, 17, yeah, easy.
As you're looking over it, you confirm a few things very quickly.
The gun that's dropped onto the ground was indeed the murder weapon,
and you sort of lean down close to the fingers.
You see the tension still in the rigumortes of the hands
meant that it was fired by this hand.
You see the sort of like shrapnel of bone, brains and viscera on the ceiling
and you see the angler of it.
The angle of it came just under the chin.
Something strange, though.
You see muscle tension across the shoulder
and the upper arm.
The gun was strangely compressed in
and then telltale you come in
and you see that there seems to be
some sort of posthumous medical treatment
to this man's forearm.
Something was healed very quickly
in this man's forearm.
And as you used,
sort of like zoom into the sort of genetic makeup of it to see what were these cells doing
moments before you're able to reveal there was a handprint bruise on this man's forearm
he was forced to shoot himself well and by something with an insane and intense grip
with this sort of very high analysis you also note um you think that no one has
entered or exited here
since this happened
from your intel from the street.
Except for Jancy.
Except for Jancy.
Except for Jancy.
Well, first things first.
First things first.
Rip the arm off, put in an evidence bag.
We've got to get that to the lab.
Yeah, got to get that into a lab.
So you've got to understand in the future,
police, uh, police, judge, jury,
executioner and CSI department.
Absolutely. I tear the arm off
and put in an evidence bag.
Okay.
So you've got like a big plastic bag with you.
You take it out your popping.
You fluff it out like a bin bag.
Yeah, yeah.
Open it up.
I'm not strong enough to tear a man's arm off,
so I get the synth to do it.
Yeah, I turn my arm into big fleshy scissors.
But because they're made out of flesh,
they're more like, they're more like, you know, like safety scissors.
Right.
So it's a slow.
It takes a really long.
It's a slow and blunt process.
Yeah.
I explained to him that this is not protocol,
but I'm willing to bend the wrong.
rules now and then.
Yeah, great.
Stop off his arm.
Okay, it takes you like 10 minutes.
And while we're doing that, I call the special, like, the police have a special equivalent
of, like, Uber now.
So a little drone comes to collect the bag of arm.
Yeah, well, you've got your own car.
You've got your own car that you can sort of summon.
But we hang it from, we don't put it in the car, we hang it from the bottom, and then it drives
low above everyone.
So they just, like, out there's just, like, out there's, like, very quickly, it's, like, very quickly,
it like hits a stop sign
and like the metal perforates the bag
so there's just like a drip trail
behind it. Just a bag of blood
dripping over all these people that have just
witnessed the most terrific shit ever.
So messy.
So I also do you share what you
learned immediately with
sausage gumbo? No because I don't trust
I just rip this arm off for no reason.
I'll get you to make an analysis.
I get you to make an analysis of three.
Two. Two.
You can see that you can see
fascination with this arm from C
but you don't know exactly what the details are
okay great well that's why I tore it off
because I saw there was something
he thought the arm was something
so I tore it off but I was
I actually purposefully wanted it to get
all smushed up because I don't trust
the police with this evidence I'm doing this
on my own nice so you see
why not trust me
what have I done
the lowest kid in the biz got
bought you got to
earn my trust motherfucker
All right. Well, I want to go talk to Blondie and Scarface.
Okay.
As you're walking out to go see Blondie and Scarface,
I will say you go past some of the side rooms of this penthouse.
Yeah, because no one's come in. Whoever did this is in this room.
You say that out loud?
You think whoever did this is in this room?
Yeah, I'll tell him that part.
Whoever did this is in this room?
I'll say I have some evidence. I'm not going to share it with you because I don't trust you.
All right.
But that evidence tells me that whoever did this, I think, might still be in this room,
unless it was Jats over there that I just killed.
So fingers crossed it wasn't.
Well, I mean, if it was, justice has been done.
Yeah, hopefully.
All right, well.
A nice pre-kill, Justice.
Yeah, that's just a great coincidence.
So you see something that disturbs.
You say this as you start walking towards this elevator,
and you see one of the side rooms,
and something that sort of turns your stomach a little bit.
You specifically see, as you see a scrap heap of biosynthetic human parts.
You see just sort of like a mess of just like heads, faces, eye sockets, you know,
you see like dislocated arms and limbs with like their wires still training back to their
torsos sort of just in a mess here in the corner.
Oh, that makes me so mad.
Self-destructed?
I don't think so.
destructive. I don't think so. I scream. You really know that bit in
Man Max where Furiosa screams? I do that.
But I'm still a snake. Yeah. You're still a snake?
Really? It never trains full back. As you scream
this, can I get an analysis? I won't get it from you because you're
screaming. Hard to analyze. Can you give me an analysis of a two? Always on
analysis. I've only got a four dice. I know.
Two. Two. You see one of the
the Synths heads flinches.
I run over to it.
As you run over to it, it's arms and legs
reattached to the
torsos as it zips in, its head
snapping into place, it stands up,
this sort of like half-destroyed,
clearly gashed up, synth.
Androgynous in its form,
seemingly like, patched together
in a few different ways.
It goes, I had to kill him.
I had to kill him.
You stay away from me.
And it's going to lunge.
for your gun.
It's going to lunge for my gun?
Yeah.
What do I roll?
You have to beat a two is what I just rolled.
Of persuasion?
Yeah, persuasion.
Or if you want to do, if you just want to fight it physically, you can use your...
I'd fight it physically, man.
Your...
What the fuck?
My name is that resolved.
But no, do your persuasion.
Do your persuasion?
I want to, if it's going for my gun, I want to duck and wave.
Yep.
I'm quite tall, right?
I want to duck and wave, turn around, grab my own gun and then point it at it.
Okay.
As it moves past me.
I'll say that's a resolve.
I'll say that's a resolve.
Oh, that's a resolve and I've got to beat.
Two.
Easy.
Four.
Just.
It's a scramble on that gun.
I will say that it manages to grab the gun
and you do one of those full on
like swipe it out of its hand,
reverse it and pin it down
in an expert sort of muscle memory maneuver.
Hell yeah.
As it's sort of underneath the ground,
like it's your gun trained on its temple.
What are you both doing?
I explain to this synth that I'm one of them.
Can you use the?
How did you say that?
I say, hello, synth, I'm one of you.
Calm down, calm down.
And I say, I see that you're in pain.
You're not one of them.
You're not one of us.
You're one of them.
And it points to like the police badge.
You're not going to help me.
I saw what you did.
You don't forgive.
And it's going to, risking getting shot, try to sprint past you.
Try to sprint past you.
Well, then I would, well, I would like to somehow trip it over.
Maybe I do like a kick.
You know, like one of those kicks.
You know, like one of those kicks where they go low.
You're trying to use your arms to really show a kick.
Well, you know, you know, you go because you go low.
You want to sweep its legs.
Yeah, I want to sweep its legs.
I want to sweep its legs.
Using the snake.
Can you give me another resolve?
You're going to try and beat its resolved.
It's agile.
It got a 13.
I got a 13.
Oh my God.
Okay.
Roll again?
Yeah, let's roll again.
Let's roll again.
Let's roll again.
Gosh, damn it, I got six.
With precision, you sweep one of its legs, and it starts walking on its hands, like running, sprinting on it.
You try to sweep it again, and it manages to cartwheel as it jumps out of the open window as a rushing car comes past, and it lands onto the dash of it, and you see it start of take off into the night sky.
What are you doing?
I would love, I've got one rocket boot left.
I only threw down one rocket boot.
if you get on my back
we can rocket boot after him
and I can turn into
like I can go as wide
as flat as possible
to help control him
because I know he's a little bit
yeah so in a moment I'll say
just because it's cool as hell
without communicating
you both look at each other
start sprinting towards the window
and as you jump onto his black
and become a glider
your one rocket boot
and you are just like
flying through a nice sky
You see like as like a lorry just like swerves around you in the air as you
as you're not flying on the flight path.
You can see it ahead sort of scrambling on the front of this taxi,
which is currently like got one arm out trying to like swat it off as it moves up onto the top of it.
It stands up perfectly balanced moving with the car like gyroscopically.
It looks at you.
You're sort of far up like maybe like 50 feet away from it.
What are you doing?
I'd like to take some shots at the fuel tank.
Go.
Of the car.
Can you give me?
Can you give me a...
Do you want...
I'll say this is an analysis of two again.
Okay.
Just to see if it's possible.
Just to see if it's possible.
Two.
Two.
It's possible and you've got that aim.
Can you give me a resolve of five?
In fact, both of you, a resolve of five?
Thirteen.
Thirteen.
So you get caught out of balance, which you're fine.
But the reason is you shoot the fuel tank at this taxi
and it explodes.
Fuck yeah.
And the robot, the synth, is thrown high up into the air as it's sort of somersaulting.
You see this taxi go down in flames crashing into the side of a building.
Ow.
Oh, wow.
You see, hear people screaming below.
And you are now in free fall as well along with this, along with this synth as it's like flying.
Here's what I'm going to do.
I'm going to let go of him
And I'm going to throw myself at this synth
So that hopefully we get smushed together
In like what I like to call a synth smush
Yes
Becoming kind of one synth blob
You try and sort of enmesh with it
And like interface in a way to try and like overpower its mind
It's a sort of interface situation
Okay, okay
This will really impede your ability to land
You are falling towards like a
What appears to be like a factory system below
with a nut
like the nearby because Gamadine owns this whole block
it's like a factory
a synth factory below
as you can see sort of the line up moving conveyor belts
glass roof
as you're careening towards it
so at first I'll get this
you're falling rapidly
but I will get this
interface I'll say
you're going to do a competing
a competing role
against its own analysis
that's sort of like force of mind
which on analysis yeah
Yeah.
Oh, could me, give me a break.
Yeah, Nick got a 20.
So you, you unfortunately are not over a parent's mind,
but you do get flashes of memory of it in this fighting pit.
You can see that this was a security droid that was originally designed for looking after
like vulnerable members of society that are under like police, like, relocation.
They're meant to blend in with society.
protect people. And it was lifted and abused and reformed. And it has this sort of twisted
perspective where it just wants to survive. But it has to, but it will kill as many people or
since or anything as it needs to do that. And as you're sort of realizing that, you can see
it's turning you to take the impact as you smash through the glass. Your analysis, I will say,
which I don't think I asked you to roll, but you got a three. Oh, good.
I would say that's for your sort of like aiming, trying to find a good place to land.
Yeah.
You see a, like the concrete floor and you see, I'll say you use this analysis to instead land into a vat, an open vat of liquid.
Fuck yeah.
As you fall into it, your...
It's Gatorade.
Young.
It's Gatorade.
It's a crucial ingredient.
As you come out, you're like, it does taste amazing.
I'm powered by the electrolytes.
Your electrolytes, fantastic.
You were a little dehydrated.
I was.
Because of the future steroids.
Yes.
Yeah.
You sort of pull yourself out of the water.
I would like you, though, to give me a...
Can I tell you what I think I want to do right now?
Yeah.
I think I am going to let them...
I'm going to take the fall.
I feel so bad for them.
Wow.
And what I'm going to do, if this is allowed,
is I'm going to give them my consciousness.
you're going to allow them to see your memories and your experiences
I'm going to upload all of my consciousness to them
so we can share it but they'll essentially run it and I'm going to take the fall
and I see this I'm seeing this fall happen
we make eye content so a part of you lives on in them
all of me will live on in them in a way
yes that we will become one being they'll be the main one but
I will carry on through them and I
See the look in their eye.
They look, we make eye contact as they're falling.
And I know that they're going to do this.
Do you have any last words then to say to you?
I just say,
God damn, we didn't even get a chance to fall in love.
Because I was that woman when you came out,
I didn't tell you this,
but when you came out as that woman with the red lips and the fucked voice.
I fell in love.
I fell in love instantly.
I've been hiding my feelings this whole time.
Yeah, I imagine you were falling for so long.
It's all done in a look
They know they feel it
And my heart breaks
And I say to you
As we're four weeks
I say God damn it
I hope you're one of the good ones
And as you hit the ground
Splatter
You were sort of
The main disadvantage
Of your reconfigurable body
Is weak bonds between those sort of
internal mechanisms
As it just
You see
the robot which you now have identified as Eliza sort of like there
sort of takes things in as it tries to scratch together
two consciousnesses at the same time as it stands
it's fighting two urges and you it's strange having your
because you're functionally dead yeah but there's a part of it that is you
inside this droid
as it sprints into this factory
lineup a scrambling away
as you come out of the Gatorade
and you sort of emerge
you see just like
rows and rows and rows and rows and roads
of synths.
As it's scrambling away
it is like
repurposing algorithms
that you've used
the way that it can redefine its body
and the sort of liquid
around it is able to form
just as you formed, and it takes on the exact base image of these sort of like bass synths
and is able to enter the line up.
Well, first things first, after seeing all these synths, being a little aware of the genre.
Yeah.
I take my gun out, shoot myself in the hand.
Okay.
You do that.
It fucking hurts.
You just shot yourself in the hand.
Red blood.
Okay, fuck.
All right.
All right, I'm not a sin.
Thank you.
Had you dreamed about a unicorn?
No, no, no, no.
I just wanted to make sure I was just around all these sins.
I just got a little in my head.
I got a little in my head.
It was a mistake.
I just was confused.
I know now, now I know, okay?
It's good to know.
You see, a factory worker comes over.
He's like the only person here.
He goes, Jesus Christ, you just shut yourself in the hand.
I didn't know.
I just wanted to make sure it wasn't a sense.
No, I don't know.
I was irrational.
I got a box cutter here.
Could I make it a small cut.
Oh, God, damn it.
That was a mistake.
You could have shot yourself in the thigh, bro.
I don't know what I was thinking.
I don't know what I was thinking.
All right, well.
That thing's in there.
I ain't paid enough.
You fucking go figure this out.
I quit.
I quit.
I'm sorry.
I'm sorry, dude.
Jesus Christ.
All right.
Back to business.
Well, I pull my gun out.
I think.
Yeah.
Yeah.
and I pointed at this synth.
Okay, so there's probably like a hundred sits in here,
all identical, all standing in their sort of like,
it's very eye robot.
So I don't know which one's which.
Yeah, you don't know which one's which.
Fuck how do Will Smith do it?
So we're like out of the packet.
We all look the same.
How fuck did Will Smith do it?
He did something to make one of them flinch.
Oh, I take out my gum.
Yeah.
I remember.
I point out the first synth next to me.
I pulled the trigger.
You know, what, did you say something?
I say something disparaging about his wife's hair loss.
I came a stint next to you.
I don't know.
Smack the fucking shit out of him.
It turns out it was the synth closest to you.
It's right in front of you.
Can I get, because there's like part of you that lives, see here.
You're like somewhat sort of like, it's half you.
half this new
half Eliza
can I get
an internal
persuasion
of three here
four
okay that is what
you needed to say this
you say it
you managed to burst
like more personality
burst to the service
and even though the previous thing
you said was
I hope you're one of the good ones
I guess this is a test in anyways
but you get smacked hard
what are you doing next
well I say you keep my fucking
what a say.
So you keep me
your last name out of your mouth.
I step, I step.
And I was like, I'm probably going to win an award at the end of this.
I'm probably going to get a medal of honour.
And so I step on their chest.
I point the gun, point the gun at them.
And I say, uh, I say, well, who are you?
What do you know?
Okay, I'll say, see, you can talk it if you want to.
But you hear the thoughts of Eliza in your head just say,
don't I get a chance to be free
if you could bend the rules before
and it shows you the memory of
you throwing the rookie cuff out of the windows
can't you bend the rules here and let me go
I can let you go
save us I can let you go but I need to know
what did you say
that's just said in your mind
I'm sorry I say I say
I say you loved a version of me once
you loved a half a version of me once
I'll say the face sort of forms back into the face of C.
Oh, my heart skips a beat.
Wait, which face, Tom Cruise or the...
Alph.
Okay.
You love the version of me.
And I like the idea that you don't really know which version he would find hot.
You're just like, let's just pick one of these.
You lost me there.
Oh?
No.
No, exactly not what I was thinking.
I kind of roll through them.
Yeah.
I rolled through if I do the snake.
Then I finally land on, oh, of course, the sexy woman.
And then I give him the sexy woman and I say, you loved some of who I am now once.
Let me go.
And I say, I'll let you go.
But I need to speak to Eliza.
I need to know what Eliza did in that room.
I need the proof.
I need the evidence that that man didn't kill himself.
And I say, well, we are Eliza, so you're talking to us.
But then just tell me.
You have the memory now.
You see that there was a scuffle, a fight where he was going to install this pain blocker.
And they fought it and ended up holding his hand underneath his own head and pulling the trigger.
Rather than tell him?
Yeah.
I'm presuming we're a bit cyberbunky
I can inject
I can put my little
I can turn my finger into a USB
click it in
I want him to feel
what I've felt no
what I've known
So you have this sort of nerve interface moment
Where like there's no
I thought you were just sticking a USB in my ear
No USB
It is just sort of like
It's almost like these tiny thin tendrils
Plug into the brain stem
At the back of your neck
Oh great
And it's uncomfortable, awful feeling for a moment
Yeah, you do flip out how you lose on motor control
and you see first person
Eliza's view, yeah, what happened.
You feel it, you feel that you have to say.
And as you sort of take your finger out of that interface,
your hand is shaking, your muscles are shaking
like from the strain that Eliza had done to...
Also, Eliza's quite beautiful as well.
Yeah, in this version, yeah, of the original version.
How Eliza sees themselves.
I take my foot off their chest.
offer out my hand
to pick you up
put your own feet
thank you very much
I didn't realize it was self-defense
we've got to get this memory
to the
to Alf
because Alf's the only one that can clear us
the mayor of Melbourne
is the only one that can clear this
all crime in the future
all crimes
are reported to Alph
the mayor of Melbourne
who then decides
our fate, I suppose.
So we cut as days past
and we see
after you going from like protective custody
you have like this sort of like
we don't hear the words but we see you getting like
absolutely chewed out by the chief
Ursa before you are eventually
brought to the
he's sitting behind his desk
he's got a suit. It is
our furry head
as you come in and you go
you got a kid. You got a
Cat for me or something, along with all more crimes, I guess.
And I go, stick your finger in that elf's neck.
Elf, do you mind if I stick my finger in your neck?
Give me a persuasion.
Give me a persuasion of three.
Yeah, yeah, fuck yeah, he loves it.
You got me on a good day.
Is this Elf's voice?
I can't remember.
I don't know.
It's close.
I think it's close.
He bends over and you do the interpation.
He goes, what the fuck?
What the fuck?
And I go, Gamadine has been running illegal synth fights, like cockfighting, but with synths.
And they're cheating at it as well.
They're doing something illegal, and they're cheating at it.
And this synth fought back.
And then they tried to cover it up as a suicide.
And I fell in love along the way.
With another synth.
But I think Eliza's quite, I'm hoping that maybe we can make love at the end of this with both faces.
Technically, it's recent, technically.
I'm hoping that it can be one-face.
It seems like you're so excited for it to be a threesome,
but it's like really not quite.
I was like, it's sure, I guess, if you work.
It's like a two-and-a-half-sum.
It's all the complicated aspects of a threesome,
but none of the fun.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Okay, so Alph believes your story.
You are taken out,
and it seems like we're having those,
happy ending as the camera sort of rises over the skyline of Melbourne 21, 25.
But unfortunately, that's not really how this city works.
You find that the traction you thought you were originally getting with the mayor, it stops,
and you lose your job, and the story's buried.
And you know that you're being hunted.
and we would join the next movie
or the next series of this
as you are on the run from the police yourselves
and gamadine
and you find in your efforts to try to pull Eliza out
of this awful situation
instead you've just become entangled yourself
so we're one being
no like
oh entangled than that
but very fair
is there anything
that you would like to do
as you're sort of as we sort of leave this story
as you're sort of on the run, as you're sort of like this institutions have failed even more spectacularly.
You find Alf, unfortunately, is corrupt.
Is there anything you'd like to do as we tie this up?
Do you know what I would like?
I think this is a kind of fun ending.
Yeah.
I think before we leave town, before we run off into the middle of Australia.
Yeah.
I was about to say, we're about to walk onto the sky bus.
We're about to take us to the Tuller Marines.
Still the sky bus.
They still haven't figured out.
It's not trained to fucking telemorrho.
Did you believe it?
It's the only land vehicle as well.
It's the same buses.
Still got my keys.
Still got the fucking Skype.
We're about to step on.
And I say, hey, before we go, I think we should pay a visit to Elf.
Yeah.
And we go.
Yeah, you go.
You knock.
We just knock.
I'll say it's late in the evening.
Yeah, I'd say we sneak in.
You sneak in at the end of day.
You're using, like, the, I'll say the police badge that you actually took off of Jancy.
That has not been deactivated yet because of his death.
Yeah.
Maybe you've turned into a coat and I'm wearing you.
Okay.
You can choose, Zach.
Yeah.
You don't have to be.
I'm happy to go with that.
As you sort of like, as you go in with this duster and you slip in through the back door
and you head, you like narrowly avoid like PAs.
and other people, like, officials moving through this building,
you sneak into Alth's office,
you see him doing, like...
Alf shit.
He's on his phone, he's on Glib Club.
Yeah.
And he's clearly got, like, like, high paraphernalia,
like this sort of like cyber cocaine.
It's like blue powder all over the desk as you come in.
He goes, who the fuck's that?
Oh.
I turn into...
to, I turn back into my Eliza form and I say, I say, Al.
Listen, we can, we can sort something out.
I grab this one, I break it.
You shut the fuck up and you listen to Eliza.
I say to Alf, I say Alf, I'm on the run from the police now.
I know.
I might not make it.
But when I die, when I breathe my last breath in the middle of Australia,
I'll know, I'll know that at the very least, I shot fucking Alf in the fucking.
head
they'll hunt you
and you shoot him
and then I break all his other
figures
just for fun
just because they snap so easy
and you flee
we get on that skybass
and no one will check the sky bus
no one checks the skybuzz
and that's where we'll end
this game
that was very fun
what was that called
oh
I would say let's call that
Alf City
Elf City.
I fucking love that.
That was sick.
That was great.
That was beautiful.
Wow.
Or something, if you have a better name.
No, Elf City's great.
Elf City 2025.
21, 21, 25.
