Episode Transcript
[00:00:00] Speaker A: Records of the unknown. Operation Convergence involve story elements that some may find disturbing, including violence, psychological horror, and depictions of suicide. Listener discretion is advised.
[00:00:17] Speaker B: You are listening to an atomic broadcasting production. So sit back, relax, and enjoy the feature presentations. And remember, do your part, such as, like, comment rate. And don't forget to tell a friend to tune in for an atomic time.
[00:00:44] Speaker C: After Agent Olive's premonition, she Harrowingly disclosed to Agents Gray and Teal what had happened in the motel. The agents returned there, but before beginning their investigation into what Scott Adams may have left behind, deputy White arrived in response to a noise complaint. After revealing an empty bathroom in Scott Adams'room, the deputy left, leaving the agents to wonder what had happened to the body.
[00:01:20] Speaker B: Loss. It can be enough to drive one mad. To move on from it, one must embrace it. One must familiarize themselves with losing everything they once held dear. Everything their money, house, car, their family, mother, wife, daughter. They must lose their beliefs and accept the new truth.
September 13, 1996, 07:30 p.m. Merle Shutdy the four of you stand in the room belonging to Scott Adams, the deputy. Deputy White has just left. After finding nothing in this room that would keep him there, he said he would put in a report to allow you guys freedom to treat this as if it were a crime scene. As he left, the four of you turned to the bathroom where a body was said to have been. However, there's nothing in the bathroom. No body, no water, as it seems completely dry. As you're all standing there, it feels a little bit cold as you hear rain starting outside Green. That's when you notice the windows open.
[00:02:41] Speaker D: I think I know where he went.
[00:02:44] Speaker A: Where did he go?
[00:02:45] Speaker D: I'm going to walk over to the window and I'm going to see if I can tell. Like, I assume these windows had, like, screens and stuff.
[00:02:53] Speaker B: The window is like one of those ones that's on the upper half of the wall.
[00:02:57] Speaker D: Oh, like the small? Tiny, yeah.
[00:02:59] Speaker B: Small enough that someone could theoretically slip through, but not, like, generally used.
[00:03:05] Speaker D: Does it look like it's been broken or, like, carefully open?
[00:03:09] Speaker B: It looks like it's been opened normally. Just unlocked, pulled up.
[00:03:13] Speaker D: Does it seem like I could squeeze through it pretty well?
[00:03:16] Speaker B: If you could get up there, yeah, if you could pull yourself up. However, last time you tried to open this window, it didn't budge.
[00:03:23] Speaker D: I assume he probably crawled through this window.
[00:03:26] Speaker A: He and the whole body, maybe.
[00:03:28] Speaker D: Do you have a better theory? This window wasn't open previously.
[00:03:31] Speaker A: Well, it's not that I don't agree with you. Where's what you described, the water, the blood.
[00:03:39] Speaker E: Yeah. It's a little weird that it's all gone. I mean, the course of what, an hour or two?
[00:03:44] Speaker D: Oh, no. Something weird.
[00:03:46] Speaker F: Look, I promise we're not making stuff up. There actually was a body oh, I wouldn't in the tub.
[00:03:52] Speaker E: I would never assume you would make something that wild up, especially whenever you.
[00:03:57] Speaker A: Ended up cutting off his hand or what's left of it.
[00:04:00] Speaker E: And it was bone.
[00:04:01] Speaker A: It was bone and looked half dissolved.
[00:04:05] Speaker E: Can someone grab a chair? We can take a peek out that window, see what's directly outside.
[00:04:09] Speaker D: While they're doing that, I would like to boot up the computer if I can.
[00:04:13] Speaker B: The whole thing's plugged in. You can just hit it and it wasn't fully off. It was just asleep.
[00:04:18] Speaker D: Can I tell, is anything already opened when it pops up? Or is like all the applications closed.
[00:04:26] Speaker B: So it's not locked or anything? There's no safeguard. So you just open it, hit it, it turned on. What's up right now is a couple of tabs. One is open to what looks like a newly formed website called Watch the Skies. It says by Scott Adams, and it looks like a whole blog site type setup for his newsletter. It looks like it's not finished yet. And then there's a bunch of tabs about Groversville general inquiries, and then there's ones like ask questions about cow mutilations, another asked about crop circles and just various things related to abductions. That there's a few tabs open, about.
[00:05:07] Speaker D: All at this town.
[00:05:08] Speaker B: Not all of them specifically got for Groversville. But if you go into the files that he has in his computer, there are a couple of things. There's one called Groversville Notebook. There's one called S-Z-E comma t period.
[00:05:25] Speaker D: S-Z-E comma t, period.
[00:05:29] Speaker B: Then there's also a third file called.
[00:05:31] Speaker D: Message I'm going to open well, I'm probably going to open all of them, but I'm going to start with the.
[00:05:36] Speaker B: S-Z-E blah, blah, blah. I have handouts this file. File two, titled S-Z-E comma t period, is largely nonsensical.
[00:05:46] Speaker D: I'm trying to read what he's trying to go through. It seems he's trying to do a deep dive into consciousness and how it interacts with different languages and different words. How different words, if you take them apart and put them back together or highlight different letters of them, you can get into different meanings or different deeper meanings or connect meanings.
There are some theories within psychology of the collective unconscious by Carl Jung, and this basically seems like he's going with it beyond simply the conscious of the mind, but perhaps the conscious of reality itself, of molecules being a part of that conscious and how it could potentially connect to stars, galaxies, planets and all forms of matter. That even something as simple as breathing in and breathing out, eating, drinking and excreting, as he puts it, is all tied to consciousness. And thereby everything is connected via consciousness.
[00:06:43] Speaker F: My brain hurts.
[00:06:44] Speaker D: Well, you see, I could try and.
[00:06:46] Speaker F: Put it no, that's fine. We don't need to go into it further.
[00:06:52] Speaker A: I think I understand a little bit about what he's going on, but he seems to have drawn in too many.
[00:06:59] Speaker F: I feel like this is nothing and we need to move on.
[00:07:02] Speaker B: Hush.
[00:07:03] Speaker D: Well, I think there could be some significance to it. If I can understand where this thought train thought thread is stemming from, I can maybe try and see what exactly he was going through.
[00:07:17] Speaker A: Well, I mean, what I'm worried about is that the first part of that right? I was following along all right, but then it started kind of going wonky at the end.
[00:07:26] Speaker E: I mean, it could just all be code.
[00:07:28] Speaker A: Well, I won't deny that. I mean, maybe and he pulls out the notebooks that he's picked up. Maybe it's in here. And one of these, but we can look at these later. What's in the rest of those files? Gray is now looking over your shoulder.
[00:07:44] Speaker D: Did you see if he maybe climbed out the window?
[00:07:48] Speaker A: I thought teal, and I was waiting.
[00:07:51] Speaker E: To see if I saw anything.
[00:07:53] Speaker B: What are you guys doing at the window?
[00:07:55] Speaker E: I'm just checking for any signs that something may have crawled out. So, like, ruffling of the stuff outside.
[00:08:03] Speaker B: Like any right outside the window is another is that rocky garden? Kind of look to it. On the outside, the rocks look flat. They don't look like there's steps or anything on them. The window itself, it's not very dusty, but it's fine. Like nothing was broken or there was nothing left behind, things like that.
[00:08:25] Speaker E: You don't think that blob ate the body, the blood, the water, and then.
[00:08:30] Speaker D: Just skedaddled, we were gone for a while?
[00:08:34] Speaker F: I mean, I guess it's possible, but the jacket that Green left under the door to try and seal the room, something had eaten through that.
[00:08:43] Speaker A: So either the blob ate the body, which could be or somebody came through that window and cleaned up everything, but didn't take the notebooks or the computer.
[00:08:57] Speaker D: Or maybe he wasn't actually dead.
[00:09:00] Speaker F: Also that.
[00:09:01] Speaker B: So after looking at the window, Green begins the message.
Bush.
You ever know?
Mix up?
Wow.
Could one of you guys describe what that sounded like?
[00:09:46] Speaker A: It sounded like a slowed down audio clip. Somebody talking, but they slowed it down. So it was with a buzzing in.
[00:09:59] Speaker F: The background, like a metallic buzing.
[00:10:01] Speaker A: A high pitched one, yeah, but also had that same slowed down.
[00:10:05] Speaker F: So it sounded yeah, it almost sounded like it was reverse and slowed down.
[00:10:10] Speaker B: Now, if you guys want to spend time trying to fix that up, someone with computer science or SIG int could take some time and roll a check to try and maybe make that intelligible.
[00:10:23] Speaker E: I have 60 SIG int. Anybody have anything better?
[00:10:26] Speaker A: 15.
[00:10:28] Speaker B: Computer science is going to be enough to not need a roll, but it will take time.
[00:10:31] Speaker D: We can do that probably after we've gone through everything else.
[00:10:35] Speaker B: So the two of you could work on this. It'll take maybe an hour of your time. Do you go into this final file here.
Final one listed as Groversville notebook.
[00:10:49] Speaker D: Yeah, yeah, I'm going to open that.
[00:10:50] Speaker B: I will say, as he's opening this, the physical notebooks that Gray has, they look like they're initial notes on all of these things, but they're not finished notes. Like the finished notes are here on the computer files. So what you see here is a file with a bunch of different listings. They got things like livestock mutilations, followed by some names and some letters, which could possibly be dates, but they could also be something else.
It also mentions livestock alterations with a few other people missing time, chopper sightings, lights, crop circles, and J A. And that one reads P. Three weeks equals six months. Refuses RX. Room for her at the shut eye. Allen barn Thomas. Jacobs. Cartwright. Anderson. Never goes home.
[00:11:46] Speaker D: That last one's, jane Allen's file 100%.
[00:11:50] Speaker A: Yeah.
[00:11:50] Speaker E: Pregnant. Three weeks equals six months. Refuses drugs, a room for in the shut eye. Alan Barn thomas Jacobs catwight Anderson. Those must be more of the aldermen.
[00:12:01] Speaker D: Can I tell when this file was made or last edited?
[00:12:04] Speaker B: About two days ago.
[00:12:06] Speaker A: And there's more people missing time.
[00:12:08] Speaker D: You notice that three weeks equals six months. Two days equals three months.
[00:12:13] Speaker A: Two days equals six months.
[00:12:14] Speaker D: Three weeks equals six months.
[00:12:16] Speaker A: Right.
[00:12:17] Speaker D: That was last edited two days ago. Jane Allen is nine months pregnant.
[00:12:21] Speaker A: You're right.
[00:12:22] Speaker E: Which means the baby can come at.
[00:12:24] Speaker A: Any time tomorrow, today, tonight. Right now, as you guys are looking.
[00:12:30] Speaker B: Through these notes and trying to get an idea of what he was saying, you begin to hear footsteps in the hallway.
[00:12:39] Speaker D: Do they sound wet?
[00:12:40] Speaker B: Yes. Because it's raining outside. It sounds like shoes against stone in a kind of echoey hallway. And it seems to be getting closer to you.
[00:12:51] Speaker E: All right, I'll go ahead and go out so I can get the tape and quarantine this spot off teal.
[00:12:56] Speaker B: As you start heading out, you smell something? Smells warm. Fresh. Smells like pizza. And as you step out, you see Tasha with a few pizzas. That's the receptionist who you told to come find us later. So as Tasha approaches you, she's like, oh, hi. Oh, my goodness. How long has that sheriff been here? This isn't your room. What's going on?
[00:13:24] Speaker E: We were helping the deputy with something.
[00:13:27] Speaker B: The deputy?
[00:13:28] Speaker E: Yeah, he was coming here looking for you, so there was a noise complaint. Do you know who may have filed that?
[00:13:32] Speaker B: My goodness. I'm gone for 30 minutes in the first time in weeks, and a deputy comes by? What did you say?
[00:13:40] Speaker E: Do you know who would have filed that noise complaint?
[00:13:42] Speaker B: A noise complaint? Well, I didn't file it. Gee, I don't think there's anyone here besides the four of you and me. And whoever keeps messing with my, um.
[00:13:52] Speaker E: Who'S the pizza for?
[00:13:54] Speaker B: All of us. You guys said I should come find you. I thought we were going to talk some more about what me and Olive and Green were talking about earlier. I thought we'd get up to some more goss about town or something.
[00:14:05] Speaker E: What were you talking about, goss about town? Remind me. Tasha?
[00:14:10] Speaker B: Yeah. Oh, you guys. You knew my name. You never asked.
[00:14:14] Speaker E: It's on your name tag.
[00:14:16] Speaker B: Oh, I forgot I was wearing that.
[00:14:18] Speaker E: What did we tell you we were doing in town again?
[00:14:21] Speaker B: You were researching small towns for some.
[00:14:23] Speaker E: Sort of paper or something that's not entirely incorrect.
[00:14:27] Speaker B: You are asking about the UFOs. I'm taking my pizza back.
[00:14:32] Speaker E: It's a long story. Come with me to the car and I'll explain. You can set the pizzas down in our room.
[00:14:37] Speaker B: Oh, sure. Here. Which room? You have four.
[00:14:42] Speaker E: Just set them down in mind, and I open it up with the key.
[00:14:46] Speaker B: Oh, thank you. I'm glad you still have yours. She sets the pizza down, and she puts a little blanket kind of over it to keep it warm.
[00:14:53] Speaker E: Were you able to get that key?
[00:14:54] Speaker B: Huh? Oh, yeah. I've got the spares right here.
[00:14:57] Speaker E: That's good. And then I'm going to go to the car. I'm going to fill Tasha in on everything that were like, FBI, and I'm going to grab the police tape. Essentially, that was given to us.
[00:15:09] Speaker B: OMG. You guys are the FBI agents. I would have never guessed. If you just wanted anything, just let me know. I'm so excited to help.
[00:15:19] Speaker E: Keep it down. We're not trying to cause a ruckus in this town, not trying to freak people out.
[00:15:24] Speaker B: You're right. Yeah. I can be quiet.
[00:15:27] Speaker E: I don't believe you.
[00:15:30] Speaker B: What were you guys doing in that room? Were you investigating?
[00:15:33] Speaker E: Yeah. It is now a crime scene. You cannot enter.
[00:15:36] Speaker B: It a crime scene in the hotel I'm running. Oh, my goodness. What will Mr. Merle think?
[00:15:42] Speaker E: Do you have contact with Mr. Merle?
[00:15:44] Speaker B: Of course.
[00:15:45] Speaker E: Can I get his number off you?
[00:15:47] Speaker B: Sure.
She gives you the number?
[00:15:50] Speaker E: That's mighty kind of you. There. Now we can, of course, talk more, gossip about town. I'd love to hear some of it, but we got some things to do and stuff to look up.
[00:16:00] Speaker B: I totally understand. The pizza is totally free. Duncan gave it to me, so it was free for me too. So I get to give you a free gift.
[00:16:08] Speaker E: The keysmith gave you pizza?
[00:16:10] Speaker B: He's a locksmith. And, yes, he gave me pizza.
[00:16:12] Speaker E: Why did he have three, four boxes of pizza?
[00:16:16] Speaker B: He ordered them for me. That's why I took so long.
[00:16:18] Speaker E: Why did he order you pizza?
[00:16:21] Speaker B: Well, I'm a frequent customer, so he bought me some pizzas. I told him I was going to talk to some new friends, and so he said, hey, let me get you some pizza. He's pretty nice.
[00:16:32] Speaker E: I'll just make a mental note of that for later.
We got to finish up in the room. We should be done in the hour. So if you want to swing by our room you and the other agents can talk.
[00:16:44] Speaker B: Oh, I would love to. I'm so excited.
[00:16:48] Speaker E: Same.
[00:16:49] Speaker B: I will not tell anyone about this.
[00:16:52] Speaker E: I do need you to understand that if you leak out, it could jeopardize.
[00:16:57] Speaker B: Our oh, I would never. Never. I'm very excited to help you guys, and I know just what to do, which is nothing.
[00:17:05] Speaker E: Good. Well, I'm going to go back, help them finish up, and then either they'll come get you, or you can swing by.
[00:17:12] Speaker B: Yeah, sure.
[00:17:13] Speaker D: That's great.
[00:17:14] Speaker B: I'm going to grab a couple of slices, though.
That's fine. Thank you. And she lets herself into your room with her master key.
[00:17:22] Speaker E: Actually, I'm just going to take one of those boxes and I go back to the weird room.
[00:17:29] Speaker B: So, as you guys have all reconvened, what do you guys want to do this evening?
[00:17:33] Speaker A: It's about 08:00 now, I think Teal and I were going to try and decode that weird garbled sound.
[00:17:42] Speaker E: I should mention Tasha knows where didn't. She's going to come by later to talk more town goths.
[00:17:50] Speaker A: Yeah, that wasn't the best cover story, I don't think.
[00:17:54] Speaker D: Tasha's also mentioned missing tells. Did she say when the missing tales started to go missing?
[00:18:00] Speaker E: You know, I didn't ask that. We can talk to her later because.
[00:18:04] Speaker D: She also talked about people taking a dip in the pool, which I'm not sure if you've seen the pool, but it's quite rancid.
[00:18:10] Speaker A: Wait, you're right.
[00:18:10] Speaker B: She seemed to imply no one had actually been in the pool, but that it's open to use.
[00:18:15] Speaker D: I've been looking into this, and I do have a question for you two that went to the aldermans. Do you by chance recognize any of these names? Excluding. Alan Barne, Thomas Jacobs, Cartwright anderson.
[00:18:30] Speaker A: If I remember right, those are alderman, weren't they? That list alderman that I looked at?
[00:18:36] Speaker B: Yes, all of those names were alderman. Which doesn't seem surprising to you from what you've heard in town, that the alderman have never gone home. Really?
[00:18:45] Speaker A: We have a meeting with Thomas Allen tomorrow. Isn't that right, Teal?
[00:18:49] Speaker E: Yeah, we about for an hour or so.
[00:18:52] Speaker A: Wonder if we can loop in some of the others.
[00:18:54] Speaker E: Probably not, but we can try.
[00:18:56] Speaker A: Be worth it.
[00:18:56] Speaker D: Did they say why they won't go home?
[00:18:59] Speaker E: Tax season.
[00:19:00] Speaker A: Tax season, which I think I already said, but there is no state tax, county tax, whatever. The normal kind of tax season, that doesn't exist, not in any of their municipal records.
[00:19:15] Speaker D: Well, I was going through all of these states, and it seems, I don't know, it feels a bit like an escalation. There's. Mutilations. From what he's recorded, at least. I don't know how much, how accurate and up to date this is. They stopped around the eigth of August, right? There was a livestock alteration noticed on the 6 September.
People with missing time of those he's recorded happened on the 8 August, the 15 August, and the 29 August. Those three were all the same person. There was another one that he recorded on the 10 August. He didn't record any in September. That doesn't mean that there weren't any. But he didn't record any. There were sightings of a chopper on the 6 September, twice on the 6 September, once on the 7 September, which is the same day as one of the livestock alterations that were looked I.
[00:20:06] Speaker E: Don'T want to interrupt you there, but there's also a gunshot at 10:40 p.m..
[00:20:12] Speaker A: It was the 7th September. And muzzle flash and discharge. So is it too much of a jump to say that came from the chopper?
[00:20:19] Speaker D: It depends. I don't know if he's recorded this if they were in the same vicinity.
[00:20:23] Speaker E: Anyone know where Amelie's Hill area is? It says north.
[00:20:28] Speaker A: Anybody remember on the map?
[00:20:31] Speaker B: It's up where the reservoir area is.
[00:20:33] Speaker A: What's up with his crop circles? I mean, Bo Laramie. Do I recognize Bo Laramie?
[00:20:39] Speaker D: The name.
[00:20:40] Speaker A: Same with Bud Aldridge.
[00:20:41] Speaker B: No, but you would probably assume he's a farmer. Crop circles.
[00:20:46] Speaker D: The interesting thing for this is that he had it recorded twice, meaning it's happened on two separate occasions in the.
[00:20:53] Speaker A: Same hmm, about a week apart.
[00:20:56] Speaker E: I don't mean to draw away from this here, but does anybody else want any more of this pizza? We can give it to Jane.
[00:21:02] Speaker A: If not, he just kind of reaches over as he's typing on the computer as well.
[00:21:08] Speaker D: I'll take a slice. I'll take one, but I think the rest probably should go to Jane.
[00:21:12] Speaker E: There's more boxes in my room.
[00:21:15] Speaker D: Wait, how many do you have?
[00:21:16] Speaker E: Three in the room plus this one.
[00:21:18] Speaker A: When'd you get pizza.
[00:21:19] Speaker E: Tasha gave it to me. She said the locksmith gave it to her. I think her and the locksmith have a thing. I wasn't going to get into it because that's not why we're here, but she seems oblivious to it.
[00:21:31] Speaker A: I wonder about these livestock alterations, because he noted that it was roadside survey. So just driving around, what do you think? Green make heads or tails of that?
[00:21:42] Speaker D: I wish he gave details about what the other ones were, if it was the same. I can only presume, since he didn't make any mention of how they were altered, that it was all the same type of alterations.
[00:21:51] Speaker A: Right. And he made a distinction between alteration and mutilation.
[00:21:55] Speaker D: Yes. Meaning the mutilations, if I had to take a guess, were probably surgical in nature or exploratory. The alterations are perhaps experimentation based upon the knowledge gained from the potential mutilations. The interesting thing I note is that utters are associated with the reproductive system of mammals.
[00:22:16] Speaker A: True, true. It looks like the alterations well, he doesn't know the first time he saw an alteration.
[00:22:23] Speaker E: Again, I don't mean to butt in here, but if I'm giving this to Jane, I need the doctor. She doesn't like any of us.
[00:22:30] Speaker D: Oh, I can head on over.
[00:22:32] Speaker B: Teal and Green both go over to Jane. Allen's room and give her how many pizzas?
[00:22:37] Speaker E: We're just going to give her this pizza minus four slices. I'm assuming Olive grabbed one.
[00:22:42] Speaker B: She takes it readily and eats it fast.
[00:22:44] Speaker D: Jane, I have a well, what is it?
[00:22:49] Speaker B: Yeah.
[00:22:50] Speaker D: How active is the baby?
[00:22:52] Speaker B: It seems pretty active. Why?
[00:22:55] Speaker D: Just curious. Just wanted to make sure the baby's healthy.
[00:22:58] Speaker B: Seems to be gray. As the hour goes on, you, with a little bit of help from Teal, are able to decode the message. And you were right. It was recorded, it was slowed down, reversed, made intelligible with metallic squawky voices. As it begins to come through, you hear dealing with has been a long time and we have many things to do and you are not sure what you are doing. Stop now. Stop now.
[00:23:39] Speaker A: That was decidedly unhelpful.
[00:23:42] Speaker B: So basically has been a long time. We have many things to do and you're not sure what you're doing. Stop now.
[00:23:48] Speaker E: Has Tasha showed up at all?
[00:23:50] Speaker B: Yeah, once the hour goes by, she comes by again, careful not to come into the room or appear in too.
[00:23:56] Speaker E: Much before she like when we hear walking down this, I'm going to turn to green. Be like, you may want to hide your hand.
[00:24:04] Speaker D: He keeps his hand, like, tucked in pocket.
[00:24:06] Speaker E: Try not to draw attention to it.
[00:24:08] Speaker D: Yeah, I try not to draw attention to it myself.
[00:24:11] Speaker B: So it's getting close to, like, 09:00 now. Is there anything else you guys are wanting to do tonight?
[00:24:18] Speaker E: Did we want to try to hit up the reservoir before we called it at night? I know we were going to do that a couple of hours ago, but.
[00:24:24] Speaker A: Things got a little honestly, I think we could all do with a good amount of sleep. I know I could. Yeah.
[00:24:31] Speaker B: I'd say the only things you guys have that you are been talking about to follow up with tonight would be swing by the reservoir or look for lights. And if you guys would rather rest than do either of those or split up.
[00:24:44] Speaker E: How long would it take to get to the reservoir?
[00:24:46] Speaker B: Driving? Probably about 30 minutes.
[00:24:49] Speaker E: I mean, me and some others can go to the reservoir. If you want to take a nap, that's fine. Won't take too long. About hour 30.
[00:24:58] Speaker A: Well, we've already missed the time that we were going to go on that route that Billy made.
[00:25:03] Speaker E: Well, yeah, but that's on the opposite direction. We can do that tomorrow.
[00:25:07] Speaker F: We do need to check out the reservoir. We haven't even been there yet.
[00:25:10] Speaker E: Oh, and we have those files we need to go over, too.
[00:25:13] Speaker B: And you'll get testing equipment in the morning. You could just bunker in for the night, look over files.
[00:25:18] Speaker A: I mean, the only reason we want to go see if there's lights tonight is because of that. And he checks, kind of checks and see if Tasha's walking around out there.
[00:25:28] Speaker B: Not near you, right?
[00:25:29] Speaker A: Now, and he kind of lowers his voices. If that TV crew is out there.
[00:25:34] Speaker E: They caught anything, it's only a 30 minutes drive. I'll go. I look at Green as his hand like, I can take Olive.
[00:25:44] Speaker D: I would like to go. I'd like to hear what they have to say.
[00:25:48] Speaker E: You sure?
[00:25:49] Speaker D: If you remember why we split up in the first place.
I wanted to code.
[00:25:54] Speaker B: I will give one point out. Your willpower is four right now, right? Yeah. If you stay up much longer, you will lose willpower. Unless you take drugs or coffee or stuff, but you're like you're physically feeling exhausted.
[00:26:07] Speaker E: I'm going to tell you no, and I'm going to assign you a babysitter, and I look to Gray.
[00:26:15] Speaker A: Your splitting up worked very well last time.
[00:26:17] Speaker D: All right?
[00:26:18] Speaker E: I don't know. We don't want to waste too much time, and now there's a blob monster on the loose.
[00:26:23] Speaker A: That's what I'm worried about.
[00:26:25] Speaker D: But should we stay here then, or should we sleep in the car somewhere else? Except we probably want to stay close to Jane Allen.
[00:26:31] Speaker A: I'm worried about Jane.
I'm more worried about what's in Jane.
[00:26:36] Speaker E: It could be another blob monster and.
[00:26:38] Speaker A: She can pop at any moment.
[00:26:41] Speaker D: That's a gross way to put it.
[00:26:42] Speaker E: It's not an inaccurate way to put it.
[00:26:45] Speaker A: No.
[00:26:45] Speaker B: Teal, you're wanting to take you and Olive up to the reservoir tonight?
[00:26:50] Speaker E: Yeah. To see if we can't talk to the crew, to see if there's anything going on up there and hopefully not run into anything bad.
[00:27:00] Speaker D: When you talk to phenomenax, just follow any of the leads. Even if it seems nonsensical.
[00:27:05] Speaker E: They seem nonsensical.
[00:27:08] Speaker A: This whole situation seems nonsensical.
[00:27:10] Speaker D: You never know quite what's connected.
[00:27:12] Speaker A: Green, why don't we go over these files a little bit and then turn in?
[00:27:17] Speaker D: Gladly.
[00:27:18] Speaker B: The two of you with your pizza, begin to go over the files.
Teal and Olive, are you guys heading straight to your van? Are you grabbing some stuff first or what's going on?
[00:27:28] Speaker E: We'll probably grab whatever weaponry we brought in to take it back out.
[00:27:33] Speaker B: So you guys do your quick rounds of restocking, what you need, and start getting ready to head out. Olive, as you're leaving your room with all your stuff, something stands out to you with your skills, your little ashtray that you have because you smoke.
[00:27:50] Speaker C: Yeah.
[00:27:51] Speaker B: There looks to be a recently used cigarette butt in your room.
[00:27:56] Speaker F: Okay.
[00:27:57] Speaker B: And as you guys hop in your car and drive off, that's where we'll end it.
[00:28:04] Speaker E: Lame.
