I remember time before the Great Quake. Before the climate refugees called FEMA Camp's home. Before the labor laws and infertization program. They called her the lone survivor survivor. They called her the lone survivor. survivor, the savior of the refugees. But I called her mom. This is life on the changing earth.

They're as excited as we are. How long does it take to get to Billings and back? I'm expecting Major Virges tomorrow. We need everything packed and ready to go as soon as he gets here. We've been packed for days, Bennett. We'll be ready. What are you going to do about Sean? Hall tried to get the free community to let me back in, but it breaks their community laws. You were in a free town. Aren't you a landowner?

No, my parents died in a car accident before the Great Quake. My aunt always took care of me. She made sure I got to a free town before she died. What did she die from? Spirculosis. Marry this girl. Excuse me? You don't want the boy to go into the refugee system.

You don't want him to face justice at the free town. So why don't you just marry him? Well, we don't have a minister here. There's no one to make it official. Hold on. Do you think this is a good idea? Official? What's official? You will have the paperwork made for you declaring your legal status

because yours was lost during the Great Quake. His paperwork could be a part of that if he was her husband. So even if it was a woman. a real marriage. He would still become landowner certified. Sure, like when people used to marry for U.S. citizenship back in the day, happens all the time. Yeah, but what if my sister doesn't want to marry him? Why not? Sean is a good guy? Because it should be her choice, not a snap decision to save Sean. If anyone's going to decide my future, it's going to be me. Starmoor, I knew since the first moment I saw you, thou do anything to stay by your side.

You're beautiful from the inside out. Your kind heart and loyalty of your family has astounded me and shown me a small glimpse into what a wonderful life together we could have. Watch out for that rabbit stew. Oh, come on. Fowl Bennett! Geez! Starmour, would you do me the greatest honor of becoming my wife? Where did you? It was my mother's.

Oh, Sean, yes, I will marry you. Oh, no, you're not. What? Why, Dad? Because he never asked your father for permission, did he? Oh, sir, I never meant any offense. Ah, I'm just busting your chop, Sean. If she'll have you, I would gladly accept you as my son. in-law. Welcome to the family.

The tiny voice is ringing in my head. Is this the beginning or the end? I just don't know. I just don't know. Hey, everyone. This is Phil Radley from the Matter of Facts podcast, voice in the role of Cole Virchus.

Tower teams, move in, Anthony. Yes, sir. Take your team and make us a hole. Yes, sir. Black shirts. Remember, we are not here to take prisoners tonight. We're here to retrieve Erica Moore and her family. Fight her.

Yes, sir. Anthony is ready. Towers have been eliminated. Let's move. The man Verges communicates with. His name is Hull. Where does he live? Follow me.

Here! Don't you take one more step or I'll shoot. Slow down, honey. We're not here for you. Where is your husband? He's not here. Don't lie to protect him. We will find him.

Not if you're dead first. I told you. You don't want any trouble with you. And I told you to get the hell out of my house. Yuri! What did you do that for? Now the kid won't have a mother. There.

Now he won't have to worry about it. have to worry about it. You're ruthless, my brother. Let's go find this guy. You man stay here. Just in case he comes back. Yes, sir. Sir, we rounded up everyone in the courtyard.

Have you found a family? No, sir. No more of you have to die here tonight. We only have one question. Where is Erica Moore? I said no one else has to die. But many more will if we don't get an answer. Anyone?

How about now? Wait, stop! I know where she is. Where? There's an abandoned cabin, eight miles north of here. That's where she is. Thank you. Anthony.

Yes, sir. UID demo. Is he here? No, sir. Eliminate them. Yes, sir. Black shirts, open fire. We have cleared the town, DJ.

No sign of Hall or Erika. Where is she? One of the traitors told us there's a cabin to the north of here. That's where she's held up? When are you leaving? Right now. We should be able to find it before sunrise. How many did you lose taking the town?

Eight. Margaret? She wasn't one of the eight. Good work, Yuri. Get the job done. Yes, DJ. Did they get her? No, sir. The town is clear, but she wasn't there. And the contact?

He wasn't there either. She's in a cabin north of location. They're headed there now. Then we should have news by the morning. we're ready to go for the sale of the century finally some good news I put some word out that the refugee whore who tried to take T.J's life is going up for sale and the buyers went crazy. Jose himself reached out from Mexico.

How the hell is he doing? Very well given all the money we've made him. Havier sends his respect. Too bad that whore isn't going anywhere except back into the chains. You already broker T. We could sell her. And do what with more credits? We have all we need. Think about the prestige. He's not wrong, T.J. What will you do with her anyway? She does plenty already.

It better be important. Sir, I'm really sorry to interrupt, but I need to talk to T.J. About what? Sir, I'm in no disrespect, but T.J. You come barging into my office. Interrupt and expect to leave without telling me what's going on? No, sir. I'm sorry, sir. It's just, did Margaret go with Serge and your own?

Yeah, why? She told me she would tell T.J. About what, boy? You're not making any sense. She's pregnant, isn't she? Yes, T.J. Did she tell you, T.J? No, Mr. Lee. I would have never let her go. That's what she was worried about.

But, I told her she had to tell you anyway. Why didn't you tell me? I trusted her. But I am your God. You will never let something. like this happened again. Yes, T.J. There's nothing that can be done about this now. Don't tell the team anything about this or to distract him. Nate, come with me. Yes, T.J. DJ, don't you tell them? Yes, Mr. Lee. Come on, Nate.

So excited to have meat tonight. Did you see the size of that pelt? That elk must have been a monster. And she said there was one bigger than that with it. Hold on a second, guys. Something is not right here. Jeff should be on the gate. Where is he? Shh, get down. Who are they?

I don't know. But Virges said Blacksharded fighters killed one of his best friends. Do you think everyone is okay? I sure hope so. Come on. Be careful. They may have left. They're all dead.

Sir? No, no, no. Oh, God, no. My precious ginger and little Bill. No. Sir. Yeah. Yeah.

They're all dead, sir. They killed everyone. What are you going to do, sir? We'll burn the town and go kill them all. All right, sir. I'm with you. Trent, you're just in shock. We can't go after them. Did you see the size of their force?

There's only three of us No one said You had to come You're crazy, sir No, no, no, no, no I was crazy in love With them I never

gave a dime about this world Well, anyhow That is until I saw you stand there But she got so sick of all the things I used to be And so she asked me then if I could see what's going on And I looked above and said Oh can you help me now Because I start to see that this is a right.

She tried to make me see that everything I used to be I'm seldom ever got this right I passed the days away I'm praying now for another way And I start to see that I will be long I just had my laugh so soon Just where I could you

And I'll be now Tell me if you could my friend I pray we never say I'm going to miss our tiny cabin It was a fun winter But we get to see Grandma and Grandpa again And maybe we can find a way to talk to Grandma Nancy We're going into Billings, right?

Yeah, I'll board the train there Why didn't Johnny travel with us? I don't know, Dex. Maybe he's going back out to the bad thing. That would suck He's a good kid Never had a friend like him I'm sure you'll be able to see each other again soon

We need to keep our heads up guys If Tweed is still trying to take us out This would be his last chance We'll be ready dad I hope the dogs do okay They spent all winter training them They're young Dexter and we haven't been able to socialize them Yeah but those two can

hunt. They can find any bird or bunny. We did the best we could, babe. They'll do okay. That's right, Trucker. You're going to be a good boy. My Papa Wobber's why her if you're I. We know that, but Trucker is a Rottweiler and Jack is a black

German Shepherd. Two breeds with bad reputations. How do you mean? They're tough breeds, Danny. People are usually scared of them. And they don't look like puppies anymore, Daniel. They look like big, tough. Bad asses. Yes, they do.

Okay, that's exactly what we don't need right now. What if we tied a pink ribbon on them? That could help soften the look. We're not doing that. What's don't wear pitch? Why not? Pink's not so bad. Really, Dad?

The closer we get, the more nervous I'm getting. Just calm down. We're being protected now. Not hunting. Protected from what? The feds? I don't know, Decks. Bennett does.

I don't see any. Looks like you get her last name. Feel with it.

Aw, it's okay. I still love you. Let's go, lovebirds. But isn't the line over there? And the line for VIPs is over here. This is so cool. Don't want us mingling with the locals? It's safer, especially with the dogs.

Big tough dog. Doesn't remember me? Thanks for the ride, Major Burgess. For God's sake, just call me Cole, Erica. I want you to meet Sergeant Ty Avery. He's going to ride with you guys. This is nice, Cole. Relax and enjoy the ride.

Bennett, come here a minute. Yes, sir. I have been able to make contact with Paul. With all the smoke we saw, I'm worried. What do you want me to do, sir? We guard Erica. They're close. I can feel it.

He's a smart fighter. Once we get arrogant to the farm, we'll find him. We're almost there, Bennett. biological or chemical warfare attack using nothing more than what you have in your own home right now don't click off this ad hey everyone this is dave jonesy nbc guy and i prepared a special class contact me at nbcguy.com to learn more or send me an email at nbc guy at protonmail.com The fire is still warm. We just missed him. Sir, Anthony found vehicle tracks out here. How fresh.

Like new, sir. They are gone. Come on, Yuri. We can't catch them on foot. If I would have known, there was a road here we could have brought the trucks. Where are the tracks, Margaret? Over here, sir. It will still be faster to take the woodland trail back to the trucks. That trail goes around the whole Melton.

Come on, Sergei, we'll have to double-time it. I told T.J. I would bring her home, and I'm not going home empty-handed. What the fuck was that? The shooter is on the left. Find cover. Four black shirts, go find whoever is shooting at us and eliminate them. Yes, sir. Let's go, Yuri. You heard the man Anthony.

Move them out. Yuri! It missed. Uh... Uh... Margaret. Where are you hit? It hit my leg.

Medic. Get your ass over here. Make sure it didn't hit the femoro. It's good, sir. But I think a chapter famer. Don't be broken now. Shit. Pick her up and double-time it back to town.

Come on, Yuri. Let's get back to the drugs. They should have caught back up to us by now, Sergei. I was thinking the same thing. Sir, we're ready to roll. The bastard killed the team. It has to be hauled. No doubt.

He's already been... home to check on the family, judging by the fires that burned here. We'll leave him in the dust, Sergei. We have to get to the Northern Wall before the train does. We have to bring Erica home to T.J. You're right. Let's go. what brings you by t j i want to see the girls you're selling with jamie's lot come check it out they're beauties but they've been worked you've had a couple it smells like crap in here

We'll leave in the morning. Sounds good. We'll see you then. Nate, follow me. Yes, sir. Look in here, Nate. Who is that?

That is Margaret's father. You've kept him in here all this time? He goes out when I need a grunt to do labor. She thought you killed him. Why would I do that? He's mine. I own him. Come here. All these people, they belong to me. And what about you, Nate?

I belong to you, T.J. And what about Margaret? You own her, too, sir. And what about your child? I, um, uh... I own your child, too. Do you understand? Yes, sir. Your life is mine.

It's my life. Her life is my life. Her father's life is my life. I am your God. I'm sorry, sir. I didn't want to... You alone own your own actions and your choices. You're one of my elite, my chosen. Your life could be very different. Sir, I let you down. I don't deserve your mercy. Shirt off. Turn around. Yes, sir. T.J., Yuri's on the radio. You're going to want to hear this. Where did it, where did it go?

Do you have her? Bennett and Virges got her out before we got there. Not what I wanted to hear, Yuri. I know, DJ. We're headed to the wall now. We can't pull the family during the inspection stop. Margaret was short, DJ. What? Hall was alive.

He tracked us. He killed half the team. Is she dead? No, DJ. But she's hurt. She's in the transport. Bring her home to me right now. What about Erica?

You take one fighter and bring Margaret home now. Sergei, you take the rest of the wall to complete the mission. I could have Anthony Brue. Bring her home. Yuri, don't cross me again. Bring her home now. Yes, D.J. You smell like warm graphite.

Swallin, tongue, and hard to swallow. I've had nothing like it since and oh. Where did it, where did it go? I can't believe this is how. Isn't it cool, buddy? The city is so beautiful, Mom. Look at all the buildings sparkle with those panels. They make power. They're solar panels.

The houses are crazy. They look like giant spiders. Why do they build them like that, Bennett? Protects the stuff inside, if there's a quake. You're going to see a lot more of them pretty soon. There's still that many quakes happening? Fewer and further apart now, but they still remember the great quake. Too bad Dexter and Star and the other kids. cabin.

Sucked we don't get to ride with mom and dad. I think it's cool. We get our own cabin. I guess. Cheer up, little bro. This is awesome. I'm excited to see Grandma and Grandpa again. How long has it been since you've seen them? It's been 10 years. You haven't seen them since before the quake?

Nope. I guess refugees can't get cross-region passes. If we would have known they were alive, I would be an entirely different man. I think we have to stop in Glendive before we entered the northern region. The sector divider is there. What is the sector divider? Great God Almighty, more walls. The whole country is a gated community now, isn't it? And who built these?

The walls of freedom. That's what the landowners have nicknamed them. They keep everyone inside. Who do you think built them? The refugees? How did you guess? The walls keep idle hands busy, much like the water lines in Vegas. Plus, they ensure firm control and safety for the residents within the walls.

Safety inspection sweep, sir. These two cabins are clear. We're in direct orders from Colonel Henderson to check all of these cabins. Take me to your commander. Yes, sir. Line them all up for ID checks. Sergei, sir. Major Virges from the mercenary forces would like to talk with you. And here he is. Your reputation proceeds you, Major.

I've heard that. And you are? Who I am doesn't matter. I am under orders to find and collect the Moor family. Are they on this train? This train? Don't take me for a fool, Major. I wouldn't dream of doing anything of the sort. See, this train is in mercenary territory. Processing is my responsibility.

Really? Because many of the refugees being transported on your train are on my collection list for runaways. Take the ones on your list. Don't overstep your boundary soldier. I can assure you it will not end well. This is not over, Major Virges. I know. It's just the beginning.

I hope you are ready for war. Go back to your boss and tell him you failed. Your search is complete. The black shirts. A Russian man. His name was Sergei. Wouldn't want to meet him in a dark alley. We good? We're good.

Is everything okay, Bennett? It's fine, Cupcate. They're just finishing the inspections. What did those people do? Some of them are runaways. Some of them have illegal contraband. They sure are thorough, aren't they? Seriously. What was that? Because I love you. I'm so nervous. I can't wait to see your parents again.

We're finally free, Vince. I know. It's been so long. For so many years, I doubted that they even made it out of Washington before the Great Quaid. We're going to see them, and this time, we aren't being hunted, or shot at. Or worrying if our kids are going to die. Or worrying about my husband dying. And we owe it all the Master Sergeant Bennett. Thank you, sir.

We still got a long-loading fun of his cupcake. I know. Look at those people lined up like cattle. That's why we're finding America. And if we carry on my friends, we can make it to the end. I just don't know where to go anymore. Hi, T.J. You're home late. It was a long day.

You left so early this morning, I didn't get a chance to talk with you. About what? Susan told me... What did Susan tell you? That it was all a big misunderstanding between you two. The misunderstanding was hers completely. Okay, well, anyway, she didn't want... want me to worry.

Good. She's a smart woman. And dinner is served. Your favorite? Spaghetti. Don't hustle off to bed. Yes, T.J. Have a seat.

Thank you. T.J. What? Do you own me? Are there initials on your pack? No, but I don't own land either. I didn't want to stay there alone. And you saved this place when you arrived.

arrived. Look what you've built. Although I have to admit that sometimes your leadership methods are unorthodox, it works. People live in safe communities, happily going about their lives. And I guess I gave myself to you a long time ago. Come with me. Okay. This is yours, Teresa. I built it with a hospital room so you would never have to go back to the center. You did?

And I built a garden for you and Susan. You have everything you need here, and I can ensure your security. You did all of this for me? I've never questioned your loyalty, and if I had a mother, I would hope that it would have been just like you. You're free, Teresa. Who's going to cook for you and clean for you?

You're right next door. Susan can do the cleaning until I find a woman to take your place. But Susan has her job. She's busy. You're her job. Patrice is running supply logistics. That's why she was so mad. Susan just needed a reminder of where your loyalties lie without question. You're a good man, T.J.

Loyalty is rewarded. Sleep at my home. I'll have the juniors move you while I'm gone. Sir, Yuri is at the gate. Teresa, let me walk you home. Thank you. How many times you lived in pain. How many scars between your veins?

Where were you when this was being real? I'm here to tell you this won't last forever. The pain I knew will leave. If you surrender Whenever you hear my voice Whenever you feel my love. You can feel the music Let the music

Everything was destroyed, Erica. Even the lines we're traveling on, all had to be stitched back together. All the cities were ruined. Some were rebuilt and some were returned back to find. farmlands. Actually, we've got to hand it to the folks, they adapted, and then moved on. Hell yeah, they did. Well, it's been ten years. What did you expect? I don't know. I mean, out there it's so, and in here it's so...

Shitty and nice? You've been in the badlands. The government doesn't allot resources there. What about Montana? The western region got the shaft when it comes to resource allocation because of the lack of water of the suitable farmlands. Most of their funds get funneled to cattle ranchers. We're almost there. Wait them up. I'm going to go check on the others. DJ. Where is she? They took her in that room. Nate, get out.

Yes, sir. I'm sorry, T.J. I didn't... I should skin you alive. I'm sorry I let you down. You listen to me, little girl. I've always protected you. I didn't mean to get shot. You think I'm angry about that? about that? Nate told me about the baby. I mean, I... I told Nate the same thing I'm going to tell

you. She is mine. You are mine. I have the rights. You have no rights beyond what I tell you. The babies of black shirts go to milkmaids to be raised by the collective. Is that what you want? I don't know what I want, TJ. I always wanted to fight for you. I never fought. That your actions had consequences? I've been with other guys. I protected you and Nate a long time ago. I've been loyal to you. I'm sorry, T.J. You have to tell me what is going on, or I can't protect you. I never wanted your protection. I wanted to earn your respect.

You thought you would earn my respect by going off on a mission pregnant? I've already lost too many quality fighters over this. I wanted to bring her home to you. I will decide what you do for me from now on. Your decision-making steals have been revoked. What? For how long? You'll find out. when I decided to let you know.

Yuri, walk with me. Yes, DJ. Did you find Hall? No, DJ. We had to try to beat the train. Erica was the priority. I looked out for Margaret. You brought her home to me.

Both not in one piece. The baby is okay. That's all that matters. The baby? She's pregnant, Yuri. Nate? Yes. I still failed.

I promised to bring them both home. Sergei was going to the gate. He failed, DJ. He was face to face with Major Virges. It is mercenary territory. Major Virgis had the authority. He traveled with her? Him and Master Sergeant Bennett.

The Merck's are traitors. Maybe. I'm going myself. We're going to be. We're going to be able to be. How come we had to go out the pack? I want to see the engine. I'll just say for this way, buddy.

But I thought we're safe here. Let's get you to your new home, and then we can celebrate. Bennett, she's waiting. Come on, guys. At ease, gentlemen. Ma'am. These must be the landowners that experience that horrible mix-up. Yes, ma'am.

Come here and let me have a look at you. Madam Porter? this is Vince Moore. Hello, ma'am. Wife, Erica Moore. Hello. And their children, Starr. Hello.

And her husband, Sean, Dexter, and Daniel. Hello. After such a horrible ordeal, I'm sure you were eager to return home and get cleaned up. I just wanted to come and welcome you home to the Northern Region and personally apologize for the confusion. It made for an interesting ten years. I'm sure. Now you'll forgive me, darlings.

I have to be going. Who the hell was that? She's the Norse official representative to the federal governing board. Emily owns 50,000 acres in South Dakota and one of the biggest wheat producers left in the U.S. And she is a major bitch. All aboard for the... last leg of the trip can you leave the flap open this time it's gonna get windy yeah we can see it's been amazing so far look at all the grass and trees it's so green you

can't beat spring in the midwest everyone ready to roll yes sir let's roll say no more young man Major Burgess, sir Go ahead Sir, you're needed back in building ASAP, sir I'll be on my way tomorrow Yes, sir If we carry on my friends We can make it to the end

I just don't know Where to go I just don't know where to go anymore. What the hell are you doing here so late? Don't you have an early morning tomorrow? I need two crews and two transports. For what? I'm going north to get that girly myself.

Our surgeon, Yuri home. Here he is. Margaret was shot. And you pulled her. Damn it, T.J. I will take responsibility for her. That's your call. And I made it.

I can't believe all this. I constantly have to direct everything, every one. Hernandez has to be taken care of, but this freaking girly, she kills my fighters, evades my grasp. This has to end now, Mr. Lee. TJ, son, you need to sit down. Henderson is getting impatient,

but Hernandez's kids keep coming out of the woodwork. TJ, sit down. Yes, sir, Mr. Lee. Calm down, son. This is what running a business is all about. I'm not the businessman, Mr. Lee. You are. I'm the hunter.

I will bring her home. One step at a time, it'll only take one day to set things straight with Hernandez, and they didn't go north. Mr. Lee. Sales all set up, T.J. You don't show up, and you make yourself into a fool. You show up in the north instead. Everyone will know exactly what you're after.

Put your head on straight, son. The whore killed Ryan, Mr. Lee. You know what to do with that pain. Yes, sir, but I need to catch her first. I can't get you off my mind. It don't matter how hard I try to forget you. And everything you do, I don't care if I'm right for you. Thank you for listening to the Changing Earth audio drama.
