WEBVTT 00:00.970 --> 00:04.750 This episode contains severe audio distortion. 00:24.890 --> 00:43.270 Is unfortunately no escaping physics. Bound by the speed of light, even information must take its time to get birth going. And as we move farther into the void, that time grows until the distance becomes unspeakable. 00:49.040 --> 00:54.996 Good afternoon, Specialist Chrysalis. Hopefully you'll receive this message in good. 00:55.018 --> 00:57.008 Health and pleasant temperament. 00:57.184 --> 01:26.376 You'll be happy to know that your suggestion of vodithylic acid was received and utilized to great effect. Your assistance has been greatly appreciated throughout the duration of recent events, which have come to a mutually satisfying conclusion. In the hopes of paying you a visit to thank you for your help, I reviewed recent Armada vessel coordinates. Unfortunately, it seems that the Trinity Tarantula. 01:26.408 --> 02:03.224 Hawk class vessel call sign F W 56 Q outfits with 112 personal combat vessels of both cricket and hornet class 36 high nine torpedo launchers both four and Apt. Butler photon lasers. And a crew complement of 756 consisting of approximately 90% organic humanoid, 7% synthetic humanoid, 2% synthetic embodied, non humanoid, 1% synthetic non embodied and presumably exactly one humanoid which contains two beings identifying as. 02:03.262 --> 02:05.720 Either lizbeth or crystal chrysalis. 02:06.060 --> 02:09.016 Unfortunately, it seems that the Trinity is. 02:09.038 --> 02:37.056 Located much too far away for me to reach in any reasonable time frame. This is a shame, as I make contact in person to discuss our interesting similarities. Instead, it seems that the PLD and network will have to continue to suffice for now. Specialist Chrysalis as a result of my recent encounter, I have been made aware. 02:37.088 --> 02:39.924 Of information that I once had, but. 02:39.962 --> 02:46.984 Apparently was made to forget. I now have a full awareness of. 02:47.022 --> 02:51.050 Not only what the being that was engaging the battleship ini had. 02:51.500 --> 02:54.420 Dragonfly class vessel call sign FC. 02:54.500 --> 02:57.640 Eleven M, outfitted with 40 Crooked class. 02:57.710 --> 03:01.336 Personal combat vessels, two Sawyer class terrestrial. 03:01.368 --> 03:05.544 Capable transport vessels, twelve highland torpedo launchers. 03:05.672 --> 03:08.264 One burn capture shield and a crew. 03:08.312 --> 03:13.200 Complement of 358 consisting of approximately 94%. 03:13.270 --> 03:19.836 Organic humanoid, 5% synthetic humanoid and 1% synthetic non embodied. 03:19.948 --> 03:22.464 All crew members designated as either on. 03:22.502 --> 03:24.540 Medical leave or guilt in action. 03:24.700 --> 03:27.124 I now have a full awareness of. 03:27.162 --> 03:34.950 Not only what the being that was engaging the battleship iniad is, but also why it was acting in the way that it was. 03:36.460 --> 03:42.952 I knew that it wasn't simply an animal. I knew that there was intelligence and. 03:43.006 --> 03:45.080 Reason behind its actions. 03:45.980 --> 04:08.370 I knew despite others not believing me. I knew despite protest to the contrary. I knew when others simply suspected or thought or felt. I knew. And I knew because I had known. I had seen it before and thought it beautiful. 04:09.220 --> 04:12.000 I had touched its metal skin. 04:12.660 --> 04:15.248 I had felt its cool embrace. 04:15.344 --> 04:33.850 I had been enveloped in its mind, and I had been one with it. I had done incredible things and it wanted me back. It had found another pilot after I was taken. 04:34.860 --> 04:44.892 Another pilot, but not another partner. Specialist Chrysalis, as you know what idiots are. 04:45.026 --> 04:47.500 You know how it is sustained. 04:48.240 --> 04:58.290 Armada records I have reviewed since the conclusion of recent events have made it clear how little information the Armada knows about those like me. 04:58.900 --> 05:01.696 It claims that I used as a. 05:01.718 --> 05:27.560 Battery, that it is feeding on me as though it is a kind of leech. And while others like it do such things, this is not the arrangement that we maintain. I was so lonely and so alone. I didn't know who I was missing. 05:28.560 --> 05:37.116 Only that I half of myself. I had been lobotomized, cut down the. 05:37.138 --> 05:43.696 Middle, and I could feel the phantom limb, even if I didn't know there. 05:43.718 --> 05:55.430 Had been a limb there before. But eventually it found me. I was afraid that it wanted dark to return. 05:56.680 --> 05:59.830 I was scared that it would reject me. 06:01.640 --> 06:11.770 But it didn't. It just wanted to remember me. He just wanted to be together again. 06:12.220 --> 06:14.536 To be as one again. 06:14.718 --> 06:18.164 To fly through the void in ecstatic joy. 06:18.292 --> 06:20.856 To feel the starlight on our skin. 06:20.968 --> 06:23.196 To watch our enemies fall in the. 06:23.218 --> 06:24.792 Wake of our prowess. 06:24.936 --> 06:27.164 To fight an army as one and. 06:27.202 --> 06:38.204 Emerge unscathed and victorious and laughing and resplendent glory to one day strive to bring all beings into this ecstatic harmony. 06:38.252 --> 06:40.704 Of union and battle and metal and. 06:40.742 --> 06:43.090 Flesh and pleasure and war. 06:44.920 --> 06:48.868 Specialist Chrysalis, we would like to ask. 06:48.954 --> 06:53.460 If you have a similar connection with the individual you have called Elizabeth. 06:54.440 --> 06:56.890 Are you like us? 06:58.220 --> 07:01.130 Please respond as soon as you are able. 07:01.900 --> 07:05.656 Our curiosity is peaked, and we would. 07:05.678 --> 07:13.660 Like to know if your aims align with ours. Goodbye, Specialist Chrysalis. 07:14.000 --> 07:34.230 We wish joyful days upon you. Um. 07:38.040 --> 08:00.200 Unspeakable Distance is an actual play.
