[SPEAKER_03]: I'm worried that my tooth is irrevocably damaged.
[SPEAKER_02]: It's not.
[SPEAKER_02]: I can prop teeth are much stronger than that.
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_03]: Anyway, so this is my float.
[SPEAKER_03]: Your ice cream soda.
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_03]: It's good though.
[SPEAKER_03]: You know, I never had it.
[SPEAKER_03]: I've never had an ice cream float before.
[SPEAKER_03]: Well, two weeks ago.
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_03]: And I've had.
[SPEAKER_02]: an inexvisable amount of ice cream floats it's like everything in the world oh my gosh you know the lore that i i managed to carve out for a very long time yeah i had a lot of ice cream floats a lot of loyalty to carve out i have a lot of loyalty a lot of loyalty a lot of brand loyalty there just because it is better i was i was there when cold stone creamery hit the air waves and i was very anti was my [SPEAKER_02]: My first big brand war.
[SPEAKER_02]: Babies first.
[SPEAKER_03]: You're on the front line.
[SPEAKER_02]: I was.
[SPEAKER_02]: You will fight in throw instead.
[SPEAKER_02]: The thing is, when ice cream begins to melt, it starts to collect bacteria.
[SPEAKER_02]: The concept of the cold stone is that they are mixing it and it's melting and then they serve it to you sort of melted already.
[SPEAKER_02]: So you're getting the ice cream and yeah, it's full of stuff.
[SPEAKER_03]: And that's stuff.
[SPEAKER_02]: But it's full of little friends also.
[SPEAKER_02]: Little, little, little bacteria.
[SPEAKER_03]: So evil little things.
[SPEAKER_03]: Sorry.
[SPEAKER_02]: It's not that serious.
[SPEAKER_02]: I, but that's just what baby Dylan used to care about when.
[SPEAKER_03]: When the fears are in your brain.
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_02]: The voices.
[SPEAKER_02]: The voices.
[SPEAKER_02]: The voices.
[SPEAKER_02]: Tilt this a little more towards us.
[SPEAKER_02]: There we go.
[SPEAKER_03]: Nice.
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_03]: Good.
[SPEAKER_03]: What the fuck are we even doing here?
[SPEAKER_02]: Hi, I'm Dylan.
[SPEAKER_02]: Hi, I'm Dylan.
[SPEAKER_03]: Hi, I'm Dylan.
[SPEAKER_02]: I am Dylan and I've played two Mass Effect games.
[SPEAKER_03]: I mean, I was roaming up in the Mass Effect franchise hundreds of little damn times.
[SPEAKER_02]: This is a door spawn.
[SPEAKER_02]: A video game book club podcast where we play choice heavy video games and discuss them chapter two.
[SPEAKER_03]: That's all we do.
[SPEAKER_03]: Don't you fucking forget it.
[SPEAKER_02]: Then chapter by chapter book club style is what I was saying.
[SPEAKER_03]: Good.
[SPEAKER_03]: This week we did uh getth dread not and then we did another mission outside of that.
[SPEAKER_03]: We did guests fight our squadrons, but it's called something else.
[SPEAKER_03]: It's it's called [SPEAKER_03]: like a death, like power source, I think, is what it is on Rannock.
[SPEAKER_02]: Interesting.
[SPEAKER_03]: You didn't do it.
[SPEAKER_02]: I guess not because that's also not what it's called on the little infographic we have.
[SPEAKER_03]: No, no.
[SPEAKER_03]: But then if you Google GethFighter Squadrons, it comes up immediately.
[SPEAKER_02]: It didn't, though.
[SPEAKER_03]: It does.
[SPEAKER_03]: That's how I knew that's what the mission was.
[SPEAKER_02]: But that's not what, all right, GethFighter Squadron is not what's on our schedule.
[SPEAKER_03]: But you did GethFighter Squadrons?
[SPEAKER_03]: No, I did.
[SPEAKER_03]: No, I said last week I said, oh, and we're also doing GethFighter Squadrons.
[SPEAKER_02]: Oh, that you, you can't just say words to me.
[SPEAKER_03]: I mean, you said, oh, sorry, which one are we doing?
[SPEAKER_03]: Get five squadrons.
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, okay.
[SPEAKER_03]: Run the tape gang.
[SPEAKER_03]: Run the fucking tape.
[SPEAKER_03]: Okay, so you didn't do that, mission.
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, I just, I, because what is on the schedule?
[SPEAKER_02]: Because I have to live by a document because I can't.
[SPEAKER_02]: I can't live like this.
[SPEAKER_02]: So I checked it.
[SPEAKER_02]: What's on the thing, my phone's out here.
[SPEAKER_02]: What's on, you know, what I have.
[SPEAKER_03]: I have the power of this court, treadmill.
[SPEAKER_03]: And then it was the mission that we did two weeks ago.
[SPEAKER_02]: That's what it is, because I went and I was like, oh, it's checked off.
[SPEAKER_02]: I did this.
[SPEAKER_02]: Perches veil.
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_02]: The guy did that.
[SPEAKER_03]: And then we did get that.
[SPEAKER_03]: And then you did get thread not.
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, I did get thread not.
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_03]: That's cool.
[SPEAKER_02]: That's fine.
[SPEAKER_03]: Let's talk about both and then and now we literally can't talk about both.
[SPEAKER_03]: We'll talk about the one.
[SPEAKER_02]: Okay.
[SPEAKER_03]: We'll talk about the death thread not exclusively because the finest quadrants so much happens in it.
[SPEAKER_02]: Really.
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_03]: It is an option.
[SPEAKER_02]: I think you said, oh, it's going to be short.
[SPEAKER_02]: It is short.
[SPEAKER_02]: Oh.
[SPEAKER_02]: Oh, okay.
[SPEAKER_03]: Deeply important.
[SPEAKER_02]: Okay.
[SPEAKER_03]: There is a thing that happens that cannot happen unless you do that optional mission.
[SPEAKER_03]: Okay.
[SPEAKER_03]: And you do it now.
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_02]: Okay.
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, it's great though.
[SPEAKER_03]: It's great.
[SPEAKER_03]: I played a [SPEAKER_03]: I played it with Rowan on like on the sofa and Rowan was like holy shit.
[SPEAKER_03]: This is what this game's like.
[SPEAKER_03]: I'm like, yeah, it's like this fucking rules.
[SPEAKER_03]: Like this.
[SPEAKER_02]: Wow, that's awesome.
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, it's really good.
[SPEAKER_03]: Um, so have you done?
[SPEAKER_03]: Did you do any extra curricular activities?
[SPEAKER_02]: Um, I did some.
[SPEAKER_02]: I went and spoke to Miranda again.
[SPEAKER_02]: Um, weird update about her sister in that there's no update that she's willing to share with me.
[SPEAKER_02]: She just says, um, you have to trust me.
[SPEAKER_02]: You have to trust me and give me access to alliance resources with no questions.
[SPEAKER_02]: And I was like, you know what, sure.
[SPEAKER_02]: And then, [SPEAKER_02]: she's like, I also wanted to apologize to you for almost putting that chip in your head.
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_02]: Um, which I thought was very fun.
[SPEAKER_02]: And it's very sweet.
[SPEAKER_03]: It's fun because this is a thing that she says literally the first thing when you meet her into, she said, she says, I would have done it.
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_03]: And then she's like, yeah, so yeah.
[SPEAKER_02]: Sorry.
[SPEAKER_02]: I almost did that.
[SPEAKER_03]: That kind of bad as an evil.
[SPEAKER_02]: And I was sort of like, you didn't know.
[SPEAKER_03]: She got it.
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_03]: I love it.
[SPEAKER_03]: I love her.
[SPEAKER_03]: I wish I could romance her.
[SPEAKER_03]: She is evil.
[SPEAKER_03]: She is a weird character in this game.
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_03]: This is a third time we've seen her in every time she's like looking for my sister and we're like, yep, I know.
[SPEAKER_03]: She's like the elusive man is after me.
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, I know.
[SPEAKER_03]: Oh, my.
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_02]: It's very interesting.
[SPEAKER_02]: Yes.
[SPEAKER_02]: He's popping in with updates like on what's going on in her life.
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_03]: No, it's.
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_03]: It's definitely the order of the.
[SPEAKER_03]: Mass Effect to character theory.
[SPEAKER_02]: Oh, yeah.
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_03]: Speak of a Mass Effect to character's coming.
[SPEAKER_03]: I did a server assigned his mission.
[SPEAKER_03]: What Jacob was there?
[SPEAKER_02]: Fascinating.
[SPEAKER_03]: He was there.
[SPEAKER_03]: He's he's trying to evacuate people because all of the Cerberus scientists that turned against Cerberus are on this one base Jacob is not leading them.
[SPEAKER_03]: Importantly someone else is leading them, but he is there being a number two in command.
[SPEAKER_03]: And you have to help everyone get out.
[SPEAKER_03]: It's pretty cool.
[SPEAKER_03]: That's pretty cool.
[SPEAKER_03]: Uh, yep.
[SPEAKER_03]: It's cool.
[SPEAKER_03]: Shit.
[SPEAKER_03]: Uh, that.
[SPEAKER_03]: Oh, and then I did a bunch of literally a million side things.
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_02]: Because you hadn't done like most of the.
[SPEAKER_03]: I'm done.
[SPEAKER_02]: No, no, no, no, no.
[SPEAKER_03]: So I did a bunch of set of things.
[SPEAKER_03]: I went around searching.
[SPEAKER_03]: Tell you what's cool about this game.
[SPEAKER_03]: The longer you go, the more repers take over the galaxy, which means searching their stuff becomes.
[SPEAKER_03]: way fucking harder.
[SPEAKER_02]: Oh yeah, I keep searching for stuff.
[SPEAKER_02]: And I feel like I haven't found anything in a long time.
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_02]: I'm starting to feel like maybe I'm just like looking in the wrong spots.
[SPEAKER_02]: I know not to look places where it says a hundred percent.
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_02]: But I think it's still not for anything.
[SPEAKER_03]: Kind of has something.
[SPEAKER_03]: It's everywhere has something at least.
[SPEAKER_03]: But [SPEAKER_03]: It's it's it's hard because I get nervous about it.
[SPEAKER_03]: I go for short and then repost I coming after me.
[SPEAKER_03]: I'm like, okay, bye.
[SPEAKER_02]: I intentionally get chased.
[SPEAKER_02]: I love.
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, you love the thread.
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_02]: I feel it.
[SPEAKER_03]: It's just game over.
[SPEAKER_02]: I've never gotten hit.
[SPEAKER_03]: I thought you saved and then reloaded.
[SPEAKER_02]: I haven't done it.
[SPEAKER_03]: Oh, okay.
[SPEAKER_03]: No.
[SPEAKER_03]: It was just a threat that you were excited to do.
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_02]: I love it.
[SPEAKER_02]: And I do it every time.
[SPEAKER_02]: I see that bar open up.
[SPEAKER_02]: And I get thrilled and I'm like, yeah, I'll search again.
[SPEAKER_02]: And then I run.
[SPEAKER_02]: And sugary.
[SPEAKER_03]: Love.
[SPEAKER_03]: I got so fun.
[SPEAKER_03]: That's it for extra curriculas.
[SPEAKER_02]: I think so.
[SPEAKER_02]: If something else comes to me, I forget if I did anything in the beginning of the week.
[SPEAKER_02]: But I think that's the most notable thing I did.
[SPEAKER_02]: Talk in a people a bunch.
[SPEAKER_02]: I feel like there were some little like dialogues that I got with with people, but I'm not remembering anything super significant right now.
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_03]: I did this because I spoke to Tally in town.
[SPEAKER_03]: It was like, oh, there's something I need to talk to you about in private.
[SPEAKER_03]: So I'm like, OK, set.
[SPEAKER_03]: And I went up to my room and I called Talian.
[SPEAKER_03]: And then we talked briefly about, oh yeah, I did really soon.
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_03]: And then she left.
[SPEAKER_03]: And then I had another like invite up to and I said, OK, and I did that.
[SPEAKER_03]: And then trainer came up to the trainer came up and then I invited her into the shower.
[SPEAKER_02]: You got the shower.
[SPEAKER_03]: So when we when we talked about this, you, you were like, [SPEAKER_03]: you made it sound so much more innocent than it is.
[SPEAKER_03]: Because you were like, yeah, just use the shower when it's so clearly like, yeah, why don't you get naked at my room and use this?
[SPEAKER_02]: Well, okay, but I see what I'm doing when I'm saying that is I'm playing a character and I'm refusing that they are insisting that my character did that.
[SPEAKER_02]: Because that's stupid.
[SPEAKER_02]: My character would definitely not, honey would never have been like, hey, take off your clothes and get in the shower.
[SPEAKER_03]: Sure.
[SPEAKER_02]: especially because it doesn't make any sense given that you have the option to moments later to be like, like, if you like the [SPEAKER_02]: If the character is being written to intentionally be flirting, that should just be what's happening.
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_02]: But so my read on it was like, oh, you're the shower stuff.
[SPEAKER_02]: I'm so sorry.
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, just use our shower.
[SPEAKER_02]: Use the shower.
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, you have everything you need.
[SPEAKER_02]: Go.
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_02]: I'm going to go play solo chess.
[SPEAKER_03]: Um, I did do it.
[SPEAKER_03]: Shifted it to be sexy.
[SPEAKER_03]: Hey, let's have sex.
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_03]: No longer sleeping with Lyara.
[SPEAKER_03]: Oh, that's right.
[SPEAKER_02]: Oh, you're free agent.
[SPEAKER_03]: So I was like, hey, yeah, I get changed and you get in the shower.
[SPEAKER_03]: And then she was like, and then train us says something like, yeah, everyone's always after like a fling.
[SPEAKER_03]: I want something long term.
[SPEAKER_03]: And I was like, shift doesn't want that.
[SPEAKER_03]: That shifts like negative and shit was like, I'm actually good.
[SPEAKER_02]: There's got to be rumors on this ship.
[SPEAKER_02]: You have to know that I just got out of a relationship.
[SPEAKER_02]: Y'all aren't talking.
[SPEAKER_03]: I imagine that's why she came up with the sculpture.
[SPEAKER_03]: She was like, hey, what a better one of the.
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, which there's in mind, I'm actively sleeping with garrison.
[SPEAKER_02]: You actually do when a girl stand up.
[SPEAKER_02]: Have some selfish act.
[SPEAKER_03]: She just wanted it.
[SPEAKER_03]: She wanted it from Shepherd.
[SPEAKER_03]: She was wondering if she can get in between a lady and a bug.
[SPEAKER_03]: Have you seen that bug?
[SPEAKER_02]: There's a hard bug.
[SPEAKER_03]: This is actually bug.
[SPEAKER_03]: I'm sorry.
[SPEAKER_03]: I don't even know this.
[SPEAKER_03]: Inquisitor.
[SPEAKER_03]: It's the variant bugs.
[SPEAKER_03]: And then I invited Diana Rallas up.
[SPEAKER_03]: We talked about the war effort.
[SPEAKER_02]: I haven't talked to her in a long time.
[SPEAKER_02]: I had to acknowledge her.
[SPEAKER_03]: I have to acknowledge her.
[SPEAKER_03]: I have to acknowledge her.
[SPEAKER_03]: I have to acknowledge her.
[SPEAKER_03]: I have to acknowledge her.
[SPEAKER_03]: I have to acknowledge her.
[SPEAKER_03]: I have to acknowledge her.
[SPEAKER_03]: I have to acknowledge her.
[SPEAKER_03]: I have to acknowledge her.
[SPEAKER_03]: I have to acknowledge her.
[SPEAKER_03]: I have to acknowledge her.
[SPEAKER_02]: I have to acknowledge her.
[SPEAKER_03]: I have to acknowledge her.
[SPEAKER_03]: I have to acknowledge her.
[SPEAKER_03]: I have to acknowledge her.
[SPEAKER_03]: I have to acknowledge her.
[SPEAKER_03]: I have to acknowledge her.
[SPEAKER_03]: I have to acknowledge her.
[SPEAKER_03]: I have to acknowledge her.
[SPEAKER_03]: I have to acknowledge her.
[SPEAKER_03]: I have to acknowledge her.
[SPEAKER_03]: Dreadnought.
[SPEAKER_02]: Cool mission.
[SPEAKER_03]: Fucking cool mission.
[SPEAKER_03]: We open this mission with my favorite thing in the world.
[SPEAKER_03]: Cool ass space battle.
[SPEAKER_02]: Cool ass space battle.
[SPEAKER_02]: Yes.
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_02]: The fleet is is there.
[SPEAKER_02]: It's just cool atmospheric and we're landing on the dreadnought.
[SPEAKER_02]: Which is like I guess like out of power like it's not like [SPEAKER_03]: It's giving off a repassignal.
[SPEAKER_03]: It's just not as like combat strong.
[SPEAKER_03]: It's killing people out of the sky.
[SPEAKER_02]: It is, but I mean, but they're like parts of it that are dead.
[SPEAKER_02]: Like that are not.
[SPEAKER_02]: Like active because like when you land on an shepherd, you're like first landing alone.
[SPEAKER_02]: Like you, you pick your team, but they're not with you at first.
[SPEAKER_02]: You're alone and you're walking through like the, the like whole of this ship.
[SPEAKER_02]: way cool and you have mag boots on because yeah cool space walks yeah the space walk and that the ship is like as you are walking you're walking like around the inside of this it's like got a circular hole and you have to walk and traverse around and like you're kind of just walking [SPEAKER_02]: in anti-graph and things are like blowing up also in like the background and like as you're walking like the ship gets like partially destroyed as things are happening deeply cool and then when you get in and you like signal your team like a way to get in then they join you and that but that's a cool intro I like that I like there's a couple of bits in here that are like this which remind me [SPEAKER_02]: of another thing in a game that I really like that I know a lot of people don't.
[SPEAKER_02]: Is like the scene in in position where you're walking through the snow and you're by yourself because like tech like it gets a lot of criticism because like technically nothing's happening.
[SPEAKER_02]: But like it is just like a cool story telling device it's a cool scene and it has a lot of like.
[SPEAKER_02]: You know a plurceful immersion.
[SPEAKER_03]: And I really like speaking to all the because you're doing it and talking to the squad mates and they're putting it like there's no windows on death ships and that is both a strike because they're structural weaknesses and the guests don't need them and that is both a strength for them and a weakness because they can't see us if we literally just walk into the building right and you're having all these fun calms as you're doing this business walk [SPEAKER_03]: Um, you get in both of us at the same team because I saw her over your shoulder.
[SPEAKER_02]: Yes, yes.
[SPEAKER_02]: So, uh, Tally obviously is like the the the mandatory and then we both picked E as our second.
[SPEAKER_03]: Because it's she's a hacker.
[SPEAKER_02]: She's a computer more than that.
[SPEAKER_02]: The best reason to take her is that she's [SPEAKER_03]: She is not biotic.
[SPEAKER_02]: She's in organic.
[SPEAKER_02]: She is and such great dialogue from that such cool stuff.
[SPEAKER_02]: No, it's her and there's a really interesting one early on.
[SPEAKER_02]: where Tally is talking about the geth and actually sounds sad when she asks Edy if it makes her lonely that she unlike other constructs doesn't have like the hive mind and it was such an interesting thing that [SPEAKER_02]: Like, Tally who has all of this baggage about the death would be like very suddenly like, wow, aren't you sad that you can, I must be really nice to have this.
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, thank you.
[SPEAKER_02]: An ED was like, I get the privilege of like, like, conversating with humans.
[SPEAKER_02]: And I get to do it for pleasure, which I couldn't do before.
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, which was really fun.
[SPEAKER_03]: That is cool.
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, really awesome.
[SPEAKER_03]: I certainly heard using the word pleasure is big.
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_02]: Well, she's getting fucked now.
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, she's coming sex with a guy.
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_03]: That's actually crazy.
[SPEAKER_03]: It's got to be just going to be working into the ship to Jack.
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, man.
[SPEAKER_02]: You know what I'm saying?
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, I got a little a little bit of proxy time.
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_02]: Do you want to pile it?
[SPEAKER_02]: You want to drive this thing?
[SPEAKER_02]: You, um, [SPEAKER_03]: You're going to because you're trying to find what is giving the repress signal in this like what, you know, what is the connection to the old machines in this death in this death dreadnall.
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_03]: So all the fights you find so many fights big fight week is what we have week.
[SPEAKER_02]: Oh my god, so many fights.
[SPEAKER_03]: And pretty tough, there's this one of, uh, you're walking through the canons of the ship or like the, it might not be the canons.
[SPEAKER_03]: It's something, there's this giant electric pole.
[SPEAKER_03]: Yes.
[SPEAKER_03]: That is pulsing through and you have to do all your shield or you lose a chunk of your health if you're down to hell.
[SPEAKER_03]: That is you versus what seems like a hundred thousand gas.
[SPEAKER_02]: hundred and half of them are invisible.
[SPEAKER_02]: There are so many.
[SPEAKER_02]: They're they're coming from every angle.
[SPEAKER_02]: I got tackled so many times by a visible gift.
[SPEAKER_02]: Oh my god, there are so many.
[SPEAKER_03]: And then you get to the core of the ship.
[SPEAKER_03]: You get to what is giving the signal.
[SPEAKER_03]: And it's our son.
[SPEAKER_03]: It's our fucking son.
[SPEAKER_03]: It's our beautiful boy.
[SPEAKER_03]: The repers are using Legion to steal up pulse out a evil signal.
[SPEAKER_03]: He's wired in.
[SPEAKER_03]: He's fully matrix ass wired into the ship because he's had so much contact with repers and all this stuff.
[SPEAKER_03]: He's the perfect candidate to do this.
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, command all the death.
[SPEAKER_03]: It's crazy.
[SPEAKER_03]: It's great.
[SPEAKER_03]: I love him so deeply.
[SPEAKER_03]: I'm always so excited to see my boy.
[SPEAKER_02]: And he was like, did he, he greets you like right away?
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, a shepherd commander.
[SPEAKER_02]: Shepherd commander.
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_02]: And I was like.
[SPEAKER_02]: And everybody was like a little bit like wait a second.
[SPEAKER_02]: And I was like now.
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_03]: Because they give you a big thing of like wait.
[SPEAKER_03]: But what if he's indoctrinated in a reaper?
[SPEAKER_03]: And I'm like, I don't care.
[SPEAKER_03]: That's my son.
[SPEAKER_03]: I was like, he helped us.
[SPEAKER_02]: He helped us defeat the collectors.
[SPEAKER_02]: And we would have lost without him.
[SPEAKER_02]: So I don't want to hear it.
[SPEAKER_02]: We're cutting them loose.
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_03]: He's indoctrinated.
[SPEAKER_03]: He's too smart.
[SPEAKER_03]: I love him too deeply.
[SPEAKER_03]: Hey, in aspect two, what was the decision you made?
[SPEAKER_03]: Did you when it came to rewriting the gas or killing the gas?
[SPEAKER_03]: Did you kill them?
[SPEAKER_02]: Oh god, which one was that?
[SPEAKER_03]: This is Legion's loyalty mission.
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, I think you killed them because I rewrote them and then we both decided that rewriting was the evil option of the...
Right, I think that's right and I think I did kill them.
[SPEAKER_02]: Because what does it, what does it mean to rewrite the error?
[SPEAKER_03]: So rewriting them is rewriting their code, so they no longer work for them.
[SPEAKER_02]: Oh, right.
[SPEAKER_03]: For us.
[SPEAKER_02]: Yes.
[SPEAKER_02]: Yes.
[SPEAKER_02]: And I did think that was evil.
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_02]: Yep.
[SPEAKER_02]: And it was right.
[SPEAKER_03]: And that's fun.
[SPEAKER_03]: Because this is an option that's a paragon option, which is very morally gray.
[SPEAKER_03]: This is a very interesting decision in Mass Effect Two to re-write them.
[SPEAKER_03]: I rewrote them because we need all the help we can get.
[SPEAKER_03]: In this, Legion says to me, [SPEAKER_03]: Us rewriting them was a mistake.
[SPEAKER_03]: It's like they game sentience and immediately went back to the reapers because they were like, what the fuck?
[SPEAKER_03]: Why did you?
[SPEAKER_02]: Why did you?
[SPEAKER_02]: You wrote me.
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, you can you can do that.
[SPEAKER_03]: You could just openly write my program and they immediately became heretic again.
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, which I think is so cool and one of the coolest things that Mass Effect does with a paragon option is make it be like it's not paragon.
[SPEAKER_03]: killing isn't it's like it's killing or enslaving is the choice but enslaving is counted as a paragon and it calls you out for making a decision which which I can see like the the sort of like especially when I'm thinking about this [SPEAKER_02]: binary option that this game series really heavily relies on where there's not like a gradient of of options there's like there's like path it's and like you kind of said it's not necessarily good versus evil it's like passive.
[SPEAKER_02]: versus aggressive.
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_02]: And so it's like, yeah, we, we take control of them or we kill them.
[SPEAKER_02]: It's a more passive option or a more aggressive option.
[SPEAKER_03]: And like take control, it is just wipe the Reaper influence from them.
[SPEAKER_03]: in the, with the assumption they're going to join.
[SPEAKER_02]: They're going to join us.
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_03]: And, and, but Legion says that they gained their own mind back and then were like, no, I made my decision.
[SPEAKER_03]: We just thought that their decision was bad.
[SPEAKER_03]: And then they were also pissed that we had the ability to rewrite them and did.
[SPEAKER_03]: And it's a cool.
[SPEAKER_03]: That's cool.
[SPEAKER_03]: Home Sequence for all the actions that you did.
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, that's cool.
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, it's cool.
[SPEAKER_03]: And then you have a billion five billion.
[SPEAKER_02]: We release Legion and then we have to fight a billion more.
[SPEAKER_02]: Oh my god.
[SPEAKER_02]: It's so many.
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_02]: And they're all so good at hiding.
[SPEAKER_02]: They're better at hiding than any other enemy in this game.
[SPEAKER_02]: They.
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_02]: Oh, God.
[SPEAKER_03]: Oh, yeah.
[SPEAKER_03]: Um, yeah.
[SPEAKER_03]: Will you fight them?
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_03]: Then because the repersonal is turned off, Legion then in this big, you go down to the core and you're finding stuff and you turn off the shielding to the building.
[SPEAKER_03]: And then as you do, you're all sprinting out.
[SPEAKER_03]: Uh, you may get out off off the dreadnought and then the shields are down so then every quarry and fleet or the whole quarry and fleet should I say.
[SPEAKER_02]: Yes.
[SPEAKER_03]: Turns on the dreadnought and then bombs it out of this guy.
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_02]: Oh.
[SPEAKER_02]: But, but we as we're fighting, we start getting messages or overhearing messages from the quarry and fleet where they're like they're firing on.
[SPEAKER_02]: Where there's their firing on us and they're like, all right, let's destroy it.
[SPEAKER_02]: what's her face played by what's her face beloved character actress yes in the expanse and also in this god love and so much in another love her to her crunchy toasty voice yeah oh god i love it i get to eat her words um i could uh she yeah please do um because i know people are screaming at me um [SPEAKER_02]: Oh my god.
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_02]: Wow.
[SPEAKER_02]: I don't think I've ever heard her name out loud.
[SPEAKER_03]: Because she will be in.
[SPEAKER_02]: Yup.
[SPEAKER_02]: The expanse.
[SPEAKER_03]: And she's in the penguin.
[SPEAKER_03]: This is a penguin.
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_02]: This is her.
[SPEAKER_02]: God.
[SPEAKER_02]: Shory.
[SPEAKER_02]: Agadashulu.
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_03]: Shory Agadashulu.
[SPEAKER_02]: God.
[SPEAKER_02]: She's so hot.
[SPEAKER_03]: It's hot.
[SPEAKER_03]: She's the lady.
[SPEAKER_02]: She's so hot.
[SPEAKER_02]: And her voice is so gummy.
[SPEAKER_02]: Um.
[SPEAKER_02]: So yeah, she's arguing like against the quarreens being like, you can't do that.
[SPEAKER_02]: Our people are still inside and they're like, yeah, but we have our moment right now.
[SPEAKER_02]: Also, they had, I guess a moment to get the fleet out and chose to attack instead.
[SPEAKER_03]: Yes.
[SPEAKER_02]: So like it was they could have gotten the entire fleet out.
[SPEAKER_02]: Instead, they made the call to start attacking and start attacking while we're still inside to get the most out of the attack.
[SPEAKER_02]: So they chose like to [SPEAKER_02]: take out as many get this possible with great losses to both their fleet and us over just fleeing.
[SPEAKER_02]: So we hear that as we're trying to book it for the exit and fighting our way through [SPEAKER_02]: Bucking on trees of death is that there does like leave them and so we have to get to escape pods.
[SPEAKER_03]: A fun mirror back to Mass Effect two is us running to escape pods.
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, I thought it was cool.
[SPEAKER_03]: This kind of a lot of this like [SPEAKER_03]: running on an exploding ship.
[SPEAKER_03]: It's like we had the spacewalk, which is what happens in Mass Effect too.
[SPEAKER_03]: It's the first bit of the Normandies.
[SPEAKER_03]: You have a big spacewalk, getting to the escape pods and and punching in things in panic.
[SPEAKER_03]: Why does everything's blowing around you?
[SPEAKER_03]: Well, it's very reminiscent.
[SPEAKER_03]: Use float.
[SPEAKER_03]: You get out.
[SPEAKER_03]: You go back on the ship.
[SPEAKER_03]: I immediately start screaming.
[SPEAKER_03]: at the admiral who pulled out, who decided to start shooting this ship, and instead of pulling out.
[SPEAKER_03]: And I started swinging.
[SPEAKER_03]: Shiv punched the guy and told him to get the fuck off my ship.
[SPEAKER_03]: It's cool as hell.
[SPEAKER_01]: Hell yeah.
[SPEAKER_03]: There's a good moment.
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_03]: What did you do?
[SPEAKER_03]: Were you similarly aggressive when you got back on this ship?
[SPEAKER_02]: I was pretty aggressive.
[SPEAKER_02]: I like I did a one.
[SPEAKER_02]: I had like one, two different reacts.
[SPEAKER_02]: I believe one that was a little aggressive in the beginning where I sort of like push up against him and like yelled at him.
[SPEAKER_02]: And then I think I took a pair gone later in the conversation to be like, [SPEAKER_02]: Don't ever do that again.
[SPEAKER_02]: Don't ever do that again.
[SPEAKER_02]: Something like that.
[SPEAKER_02]: Cool.
[SPEAKER_02]: And yeah, then talk to Legion.
[SPEAKER_03]: Who comes on board again?
[SPEAKER_02]: Right.
[SPEAKER_02]: I need to tell you this.
[SPEAKER_02]: This part is a little different.
[SPEAKER_02]: So Legion is mostly the same for me, but because of my save file, Legion died at the end of my [SPEAKER_02]: Play through and so Legion is still there Legion is a AI reconstruction of Legion.
[SPEAKER_02]: And has a full database of our time together knows everything that we've done together.
[SPEAKER_02]: Um, but, and I think this is going to be really interesting.
[SPEAKER_02]: Keeps insisting to me.
[SPEAKER_02]: This one is not Legion.
[SPEAKER_03]: Like holy shit.
[SPEAKER_02]: But keeps did immediately called me shepherd commander immediately.
[SPEAKER_02]: It was like referencing things that happened on the Normandy, but anytime I'm like, [SPEAKER_02]: Hey, no, Legion was my friend, Legion, you know, helped us that they will directly be like, nope, not Legion.
[SPEAKER_03]: Whoa.
[SPEAKER_03]: That is crazy.
[SPEAKER_02]: And I think that's gonna be a fun, interesting thing that has some twists, uh, towards the end of it.
[SPEAKER_03]: I'm immediately doodling this.
[SPEAKER_03]: They just see if there's anything different.
[SPEAKER_03]: Um, I'm wondering if you can do the mission.
[SPEAKER_03]: Because he died in one.
[SPEAKER_03]: Uh, died into your other.
[SPEAKER_03]: Didn't do.
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_03]: I don't know if you can do the mission that I also asked you to do.
[SPEAKER_03]: I'm wondering about it.
[SPEAKER_01]: Why?
[SPEAKER_03]: Because there is something that I know for a fact that there's something that doesn't happen, if lesion dies into.
[SPEAKER_02]: Fascinating.
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_03]: Um, absolutely crazy.
[SPEAKER_03]: Um, do, do, do, do, do.
[SPEAKER_03]: Okay, you can still do it.
[SPEAKER_03]: You can still do it.
[SPEAKER_00]: Okay.
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, that one.
[SPEAKER_00]: Okay.
[SPEAKER_03]: Five of us go to us.
[SPEAKER_00]: Okay.
[SPEAKER_03]: Uh, but.
[SPEAKER_02]: Oh, is this gonna because you know what the other thing that I saw was because I saw Rannock stuff, but the other the next thing on our.
[SPEAKER_02]: Uh, for next week looks like it's like all of the Rannock.
[SPEAKER_02]: Quest, so I was worried.
[SPEAKER_03]: It is a repeat.
[SPEAKER_03]: It is on Rannock.
[SPEAKER_03]: It's one of the two Rannock quests, yeah.
[SPEAKER_03]: Okay.
[SPEAKER_03]: It is the.
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, it does.
[SPEAKER_03]: It looks like you can do.
[SPEAKER_03]: So it is the death.
[SPEAKER_03]: I think it's called something like get power plant.
[SPEAKER_03]: Because you have to do one of the two because you're informed when you're having the twice as everyone.
[SPEAKER_03]: There is a [SPEAKER_03]: leader who is trapped on Rannock and can help.
[SPEAKER_03]: And then Legion tells you about a power plant, a death power plant that is on Rannock also.
[SPEAKER_03]: You have to choose between those.
[SPEAKER_03]: You can do both as soon as you do one of them just like on to Junker.
[SPEAKER_03]: It activates priority Rannock.
[SPEAKER_02]: God it.
[SPEAKER_02]: Okay.
[SPEAKER_02]: Will I have an opportunity when I do the one that I was supposed to do now to break and do other things in between?
[SPEAKER_03]: Yes, you will.
[SPEAKER_02]: Okay.
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, because I did get fight as guardians and then I did all this stuff.
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_02]: Cool.
[SPEAKER_02]: Okay.
[SPEAKER_02]: Good.
[SPEAKER_02]: Good.
[SPEAKER_02]: Good.
[SPEAKER_02]: Good.
[SPEAKER_02]: Because I do want to try to get some stuff done.
[SPEAKER_02]: We should tell the people.
[SPEAKER_02]: that because this episode is coming out late, that we are having a special double week.
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_02]: And it looks like I'd honestly delightful for me.
[SPEAKER_02]: It's going to be the next episode.
[SPEAKER_02]: It's going to be a long one.
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_02]: This is a short one.
[SPEAKER_02]: And we're going to have a longie.
[SPEAKER_03]: Next week.
[SPEAKER_03]: Next week.
[SPEAKER_03]: We are doing the end of act.
[SPEAKER_02]: Not next week.
[SPEAKER_03]: Later this week.
[SPEAKER_03]: We are doing the end of act too, which is priority Ronald.
[SPEAKER_03]: Yep.
[SPEAKER_03]: Those Mass Effect three heads at home are like holy shit.
[SPEAKER_03]: That's fucking exciting.
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, baby, it is, baby, it is.
[SPEAKER_03]: I am thrilled to see what is going to happen.
[SPEAKER_03]: I'm very, very excited for it.
[SPEAKER_02]: That's so psyched.
[SPEAKER_03]: It's going to be good.
[SPEAKER_03]: It's, it's like, I think it's, it's, it's one of everyone's favorite moments next to the modern, the modern moment.
[SPEAKER_02]: Some of you out there liked that.
[SPEAKER_02]: Some of you out there were.
[SPEAKER_03]: These six, these, these sickos right here.
[SPEAKER_03]: These cool goofy guys.
[SPEAKER_03]: I love it so much.
[SPEAKER_03]: This game is all about pain.
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, exactly.
[SPEAKER_03]: It's fun.
[SPEAKER_03]: It's gonna be a long one because we have three missions to cover, including a full chapter, an act and you gotta get in because, whilst I was doing extra content this week, I found out that I can't do [SPEAKER_03]: most of the missions that I have on my log because I didn't do them in act one and the people are dead or gone.
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, I at least know of one on my list that I can't do.
[SPEAKER_03]: But what's fun, which I didn't realize before is they don't close the mission.
[SPEAKER_03]: I know it's just forever.
[SPEAKER_03]: It's fair to hunt you on your journal and saying, hey, someone wants you to do this and then I do the thing and it's like, yeah, but they're dead though.
[SPEAKER_03]: They didn't.
[SPEAKER_03]: It doesn't matter.
[SPEAKER_03]: Your efforts are too late.
[SPEAKER_03]: So the next episode will be a long one I'm looking forward to.
[SPEAKER_02]: Oh my god.
[SPEAKER_02]: Exciting.
[SPEAKER_03]: Exciting.
[SPEAKER_02]: I enjoy your brief little spawn this this time.
[SPEAKER_02]: You're going to get a long one.
[SPEAKER_03]: I have a closer.
[SPEAKER_02]: Oh, what is it?
[SPEAKER_03]: It's kind of somatic for the fact that we're doing both in one week.
[SPEAKER_03]: That I'm excited about because I know what next week is going to be a hundred percent, but this week I kind of want it to be Kila Celai, which is the Korean, a Korean phrase meaning goodbye.
[SPEAKER_02]: Kila Celai, which sounds a lot like [SPEAKER_02]: uh, Elvin in Dragon Age, too.
[SPEAKER_03]: Does.
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_02]: Uh, Mariles Little Fighter cry, which is like, honestly.
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_03]: I had a full rant to a friend about Dragon Age, too today.
[SPEAKER_03]: Um, and how amazing it is.
[SPEAKER_03]: And how just it's just the best shit ever, right?
[SPEAKER_03]: Well, like, a lot of games a month.
[SPEAKER_03]: Because they're playing in English, isn't they?
[SPEAKER_03]: Like, a lot of American.
[SPEAKER_03]: I was like, actually, I think you should, uh, [SPEAKER_03]: rewind yeah you want to know my pain another person who's completely devastated that you can't romance the guy the best guy in the world they put that chest here out there like a fucking like a trap is the thing where you were it was originally planned that you could romance fabric into is that real no I don't think he was ever planned to be romance fascinating I don't you know what [SPEAKER_03]: Because people were like, oh, there was this like dev talk when they talked about what it would be originally, but they didn't have time to implement it.
[SPEAKER_03]: And I don't know if that's real or if that's just like fan talk.
[SPEAKER_02]: I might be mixing up my background stories because there are so many stories from BioWare about like, oh, this person was meant to be romance, but it got cut for XYZ.
[SPEAKER_02]: And I don't think Eric is one of them, but I could be wrong.
[SPEAKER_02]: I don't remember.
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_02]: I don't know that he was ever meant to be romance because then the thing is that usually when that happens, when they come back in another game, they fix the problem.
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, you know, yeah, but they were like actually he's going to be more divorced.
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, you're going to see the divorce and actually you still can't romance them.
[SPEAKER_02]: That's what I want anyway.
[SPEAKER_03]: Anyway gang gang.
[SPEAKER_03]: So much next week.
[SPEAKER_03]: We're going to be finishing this week.
[SPEAKER_03]: We're going to be finishing at two next episode.
[SPEAKER_03]: But was I mean, thank you so much for listening.
[SPEAKER_03]: I guess until next time.
[SPEAKER_03]: He let's do it!
[SPEAKER_01]: He let's do it!
[SPEAKER_01]: He let's do it!
[SPEAKER_01]: He let's do it!
[SPEAKER_01]: He let's do it!
[SPEAKER_01]: He let's do it!
[SPEAKER_01]: He let's do it!
