Speaker 3 Morning

Speaker 4 Morning

Speaker 7 You got everything you need over there

Speaker 8 who has everything they need.

Speaker 9 Good point.

Speaker 7 Everything you need within reason.

Speaker 10 Sure, sure, sure.

Speaker 11 Great.

Speaker 8 Is it always this quiet here?

Speaker 12 This time of year, yeah.

Speaker 7 Yeah, it's the off-season. In a few months, there will be a bunch of skiers on their way up to the mountain.

Speaker 8 What's that about?

Speaker 4 Skiing?

Speaker 7 It's a universal law of nature. You know, when there's a big thing, there will be inevitably a portion of the population that wants to go very fast down the side of it.

Speaker 8 I see. I see.

Speaker 10 Okay.

Speaker 7 I notice you don't have a car, and I'm going to run into town for some supplies.

Speaker 14 Do you need us to pick you up anything?

Speaker 8 I've got everything I need. Thank you.

Speaker 8 Okay.

Speaker 8 Uh-huh.

Speaker 15 Oh, no.

Speaker 16 Oh, God, that sucks.

Speaker 16 And you looked everywhere.

Speaker 4 Uh-huh.

Speaker 16 I'm so sorry.

Speaker 11 Edgy Steve. Oh, good.

Speaker 16 Well, we haven't seen anything, but we'll keep our eyes open, okay?

Speaker 17 I'm sure he'll turn up.

Speaker 18 Okay.

Speaker 18 What's happening?

Speaker 16 You know, Steve's dog.

Speaker 4 Rambo? Yeah.

Speaker 16 He's missing. Really?

Speaker 14 Doesn't he keep him on a lawn spike most of the time? Yeah.

Speaker 16 He woke up this morning and he was gone. He's losing his mind.

Speaker 13 How upset are we supposed to be about this?

Speaker 4 Right. That dog dog is a fucking monster.
I know.

Speaker 20 It's the meanest dog I've ever seen.

Speaker 16 Well, of course it is, Frank. It guards the house of a drug dealer.
Drug dealers all have terrifying dogs. It's the law.

Speaker 21 Wait.

Speaker 22 So his terrifying dog is now loose in town somewhere?

Speaker 16 It sounds like it.

Speaker 14 He is such a blight on the community, this guy.

Speaker 20 Steve's fine.

Speaker 16 Keeps you on your toes.

Speaker 12 How can we get him to move his business to another town?

Speaker 16 I don't know. Get Steers to stop liking methamphetamines?

Speaker 14 What does he expect us to do about it?

Speaker 16 I told him we'd keep a lookout.

Speaker 23 Tell him to follow the trail of murdered cats.

Speaker 15 Anyway, hi, Verge.

Speaker 4 Hi there.

Speaker 16 How's everything going over there?

Speaker 25 Tobacco's really fantastic.

Speaker 16 I hear it. It's popular.

Speaker 16 Do we have a theory on what Verge's deal is?

Speaker 5 I'm kind of stumped.

Speaker 11 It's been three days now, and they just hang out in their room and occasionally come outside and roll a cigarette.

Speaker 4 Roll a cigarette.

Speaker 10 Yeah.

Speaker 15 Like a cowboy.

Speaker 12 Please, don't say cowboy.

Speaker 13 I am still not over our cowboy experience the other day.

Speaker 16 Okay, but be real with me.

Speaker 16 I feel a little cooler that they're just hanging out here, right?

Speaker 12 I hate to admit it, but yeah.

Speaker 16 Maybe a little. How can we become a hotspot for cool drifters?

Speaker 7 We've met our share of drifters.

Speaker 12 This is definitely the first one that's been cool.

Speaker 4 True.

Speaker 16 Okay, we're doing this breakfast sheep's eye.

Speaker 4 Yeah. Okay.

Speaker 16 Hey, Verge, if anyone wants to check in, can you just tell them to pick a room? He's in the bedside table. We'll deal with them later.

Speaker 10 Seriously? Yeah.

Speaker 7 Also, no one's going to want to check in, so don't worry about it.

Speaker 8 That I can handle.

Speaker 5 Fantastic.

Speaker 25 Okay, we've got bacon, eggs, and toast.

Speaker 10 Amazing.

Speaker 25 And granola and fruit for Frank.

Speaker 4 Thank you. Loser.
Hey, Deidre.

Speaker 12 How's everyone doing?

Speaker 25 How are they doing?

Speaker 25 You mean after the relentless Rick incident? Yeah.

Speaker 2 Well, hmm.

Speaker 25 Everyone's working really hard to explain it away. Celeste is saying it was some sort of government experiment being conducted on us.

Speaker 25 What's MK Ultra?

Speaker 28 Wait, never mind.

Speaker 13 Forget I asked.

Speaker 16 How are you doing, Deidre?

Speaker 4 Me?

Speaker 25 Fine. I think I'm in denial, actually.
That's normal, right?

Speaker 10 Totally.

Speaker 25 Great. Frank, do you still want me to tell you about weird stuff?

Speaker 21 Um, I really don't.

Speaker 12 But why don't you tell me, anyway?

Speaker 25 I guess this isn't weird, weird, but um, it looks like Trinkets coming back to town.

Speaker 4 Seriously?

Speaker 25 Yeah, she called to make sure that I still had her keys.

Speaker 15 It's been a while.

Speaker 16 Where was she calling from?

Speaker 25 She said Cairo.

Speaker 6 Of course. That's terrible news.

Speaker 20 It's fine.

Speaker 24 When is she coming back?

Speaker 25 She didn't say.

Speaker 23 You're right.

Speaker 7 That's not weird. Weird.
But thank you for the warning anyway.

Speaker 16 Sure. This is going to be fun for me.

Speaker 13 Oh, Deidre, Steve's dog is loose.

Speaker 10 It is? Yeah.

Speaker 4 Rambo?

Speaker 25 Yes. That dog is terrifying.

Speaker 18 I know.

Speaker 7 Steve woke up this morning and he was gone.

Speaker 10 That's.

Speaker 22 That's bad. It's not great.

Speaker 18 So if you're going for a walk or something,

Speaker 13 I guess take your bear spray with you.

Speaker 16 Or a leg of lamb, you know, to distract him.

Speaker 25 Ah, geez.

Speaker 4 Okay.

Speaker 14 If you see him, call Steve.

Speaker 4 Okay.

Speaker 25 Is there any way that I cannot call Steve?

Speaker 4 Okay, yeah.

Speaker 4 Call me.

Speaker 18 Call me and I'll call Steve.

Speaker 4 Awesome.

Speaker 10 So,

Speaker 16 local mystic Trinket Coralie

Speaker 30 coming back to town.

Speaker 18 Horrible timing.

Speaker 15 Trinket Coralie.

Speaker 16 Purveyor of ancient cures. And strange smells.

Speaker 19 Why does she have to come back to town right now?

Speaker 13 Of all the people, I don't want to deal with her.

Speaker 16 I never understood the issue with you two. Why do you hate each other?

Speaker 4 We don't hate each other.

Speaker 12 She's just an aggravating person.

Speaker 16 There are weird things afoot in town, though. Might be nice to have the perspective of a

Speaker 16 whatever she calls herself.

Speaker 7 The last thing anyone needs right now is her drawing some sort of summoning circle in the middle of town to focus the spiritual energies or some bullshit.

Speaker 16 I think it's gonna be nice. My chakras are gonna be so aligned.

Speaker 17 Such bad news.

Speaker 16 Hey, speaking of weird shit, how are we feeling?

Speaker 4 We?

Speaker 16 Yeah, you know.

Speaker 12 Okay, we've got to find a way to talk about this with less long pauses and illusions.

Speaker 16 What do you want me to say, Frank?

Speaker 4 I don't know.

Speaker 18 Look,

Speaker 12 I wake up in the morning, I look in the mirror, it's me.

Speaker 23 I'm not growing roots or something.

Speaker 7 I'm not turning into a werewolf.

Speaker 23 It's me. Okay.

Speaker 16 I mean, I'm fine with the new Frank.

Speaker 13 Don't say new Frank.

Speaker 15 Meet the the new Frank.

Speaker 20 June. Same as the old Frank.

Speaker 4 Frank? Hey, Doug.

Speaker 29 I'm freaking out.

Speaker 13 Well, it is a day of the week, so it's...

Speaker 16 You're always freaking out, Doug.

Speaker 29 My dad's dog is gone.

Speaker 16 Baron Munchausen?

Speaker 10 Baron Munchausen is gone. How long?

Speaker 29 He woke up this morning, no sign of him.

Speaker 4 Oh,

Speaker 16 boy. Has he run off before?

Speaker 6 Oh, he hates going outside.

Speaker 29 You practically have to drag him behind you when you walk him.

Speaker 4 Okay. That's too.

Speaker 16 It's just a coincidence.

Speaker 2 What's just a coincidence?

Speaker 16 Nothing.

Speaker 16 Rambo's missing too, apparently. I got a call from Steve this morning.

Speaker 4 Rambo? Yeah, what?

Speaker 29 My dad's dog is wandering around out there while Steve's insane monster is roaming the streets.

Speaker 16 Rambo's not that bad, Doug.

Speaker 10 He threw his leash one time.

Speaker 24 That is true. That is true.

Speaker 29 It was a chain leash, June.

Speaker 31 Hey, Doug,

Speaker 19 we're all going to keep an eye out, okay?

Speaker 23 Rambo probably took off into the woods to bring down an elk or something.

Speaker 29 I'm gonna go ask around inside. Okay.

Speaker 16 His anxiety levels are dangerously high all the time. It's unsustainable.

Speaker 16 What's wrong?

Speaker 18 I just wanted to sit here and have some granola.

Speaker 16 Well, there's something that no one's ever said.

Speaker 20 Two missing dogs.

Speaker 16 Just a coincidence.

Speaker 7 There's going to be a third.

Speaker 16 Frank, don't catch Doug's anxiety.

Speaker 14 We need to learn how to catch these things earlier what are you talking about i'm going to go talk to everyone i just got my food then stay out here god damn it

Speaker 22 oh everybody

Speaker 22 everybody

Speaker 22 listen up

Speaker 22 sorry thank you you you may have heard that rambo has gone missing now While that presents its own problem, seeing as how Rambo is a fucking psychopath, Baron Moonshausen is also missing so I need to know right now if anyone else is missing a dog or if you've heard of anyone else that is missing a dog

Speaker 17 anybody Frank I would like to say something please don't I'd like to be heard I think this is important fine

Speaker 24 we all remember what happened a few days ago We were visited by what can only be described as a time traveler, an old West outlaw by the name of Relentless Rick.

Speaker 24 While not all of you subscribe to my theory that we were all drugged as part of an experiment by the nearby secret military base, there's no secret military base.

Speaker 14 Agree to disagree.

Speaker 24 You may not all agree with my theory, but now there's missing dogs.

Speaker 10 And I think we can all agree that these dogs are being stolen by the local secret military base and being experimented on.

Speaker 18 We can all agree.

Speaker 10 Are we going to just sit here while there is a rash of dog theft sweeping across town?

Speaker 20 It's two dogs.

Speaker 4 For now.

Speaker 17 For now it is. But look at Frank here.

Speaker 16 Look at him.

Speaker 17 If this wasn't something for us to be worried about, Frank wouldn't be making a speech about it, would he?

Speaker 29 Would you, Frank? Oh, you just told me it was nothing to worry about, Frank.

Speaker 16 Remember how I said to talk to me before you do things like this?

Speaker 4 Sheep's eye. Hi, everyone.

Speaker 4 Hi, everyone. Sorry to interrupt.
I've got some flyers here. Everyone, please take one.
My dog has gone missing, and you can see a picture right here.

Speaker 4 He can be a little irritable, but he's a good boy. Steve.
If you can just take one of these, please give me a call if you see anything. Steve.

Speaker 4 Feeling a little out of sorts here.

Speaker 15 You know what I mean?

Speaker 4 He's my North Star, that little guy. Steve! What?

Speaker 20 We all know what your dog looks like.

Speaker 4 Just making sure, okay?

Speaker 4 Trying to stay busy. I can't help but think about him being injured out there.
Steve,

Speaker 12 if anything, your dog is the one doing the injury.

Speaker 4 Frank, that is so unfair.

Speaker 20 Steve, your dog is a fucking monster, okay?

Speaker 13 It is what it is.

Speaker 20 We will still help you find your dog, but let's not pretend we're talking about Lassie, okay? Your dog is a four-legged horror movie.

Speaker 17 I don't even drive by your house anymore, Steve.

Speaker 24 Your dog is terrifying.

Speaker 29 Yeah, how did you get him that way, Steve? Are you feeding him ripped fuel or something?

Speaker 4 Wow.

Speaker 4 Wow.

Speaker 4 I have never felt so abandoned in a time of need than right now.

Speaker 4 Okay.

Speaker 20 Okay, y'all. Focus up, please.

Speaker 7 Obviously, making this little announcement was premature.

Speaker 12 I didn't mean to alarm anyone, right?

Speaker 12 We've got a couple of missing dogs. No big deal.

Speaker 19 Nothing to panic about.

Speaker 13 Let's all just keep our eyes out for Rambo and Baron Munchausen.

Speaker 26 We'll find them, and then everything can get back to normal.

Speaker 4 Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait.

Speaker 4 Baron Munchausen's missing too?

Speaker 19 It's fine. Frank.

Speaker 4 Yeah.

Speaker 25 That was Jessica Shelton on the phone. She needs to know if anyone's seen her greyhound.
Kimbob?

Speaker 4 Fuck. Oh, man.

Speaker 29 They got Kimba.

Speaker 20 There's no they.

Speaker 17 I think I'll sit here quietly and wait for everyone's apology.

Speaker 4 Kimbob too?

Speaker 4 Frank, what's going on?

Speaker 19 Nobody panic.

Speaker 29 No, no, don't tell me not to panic, Frank. There's a fucking dog rapture happening right here in town.

Speaker 32 Everybody, listen!

Speaker 4 Okay.

Speaker 26 There may be something weird going on with the dogs.

Speaker 4 Thank you.

Speaker 16 Turns out overreacting was the right call. Sorry about that.

Speaker 20 We are going to figure this out, just like we did with Relentless Rick the other day.

Speaker 23 Why don't we make a list of everyone in town who has a dog and start making some calls?

Speaker 10 Wait, Celeste, come on.

Speaker 17 Has anyone checked on the mayor?

Speaker 23 Oh, Jesus Christ.

Speaker 29 Holy shit, the mayor. He's a high-value target.

Speaker 4 If we lose the mayor, it'll be chaos.

Speaker 29 Idra, call TJ. Is the mayor okay?

Speaker 4 Okay. Guys,

Speaker 18 guys,

Speaker 12 I appreciate that we're taking this seriously, but just real quick.

Speaker 22 I know we all had an unofficial election a few years ago and elected TJ's dog, Sparker, as the mayor.

Speaker 23 So I just need verbal confirmation that we all know that Sparker the dog is not the actual mayor.

Speaker 12 Anybody?

Speaker 12 I guess

Speaker 13 just a small yes.

Speaker 25 Right, never mind. He says Sparker is fine.

Speaker 24 Great.

Speaker 17 At least we still have a functioning government.

Speaker 32 The dog is not the mayor.

Speaker 16 Okay, everyone. Lots of great ideas.
So glad we have this meeting. So glad nobody's panicking.
How about we make a list of all the dogs in town and then we'll split up the list?

Speaker 16 When you're done with your list, give us a call at the horizon.

Speaker 4 Okay?

Speaker 4 And real quick, everyone, if you happen to see Rambo, just remember not to run, okay? He loves that. Also, to get him to release after he bites down, the command word is Scheherazad.

Speaker 8 Meeting adjourned, Frank.

Speaker 23 Sure.

Speaker 33 DSW, Designer Shoe Warehouse, is the one-stop shop for all your footwear needs.

Speaker 33 With sneakers, boots, and everything in between for every style, mood, and occasion, you'll definitely find shoes that get you at prices that get your budget.

Speaker 33 Find the shoes that get you at prices that get your budget at DSW stores or dsw.com.

Speaker 4 Okay.

Speaker 16 okay, wow.

Speaker 29 Both of them

Speaker 16 just gone.

Speaker 6 Oh boy.

Speaker 16 All right, me.

Speaker 16 Me and Frank are making a list right now. I'm so sorry, Rita.

Speaker 13 Holy shit.

Speaker 16 How many for you? Seven.

Speaker 14 Seven. How many for you?

Speaker 16 Twelve.

Speaker 4 Twelve? Twelve.

Speaker 20 There are nineteen dogs missing in a town of 600.

Speaker 4 Yes.

Speaker 4 What's happening? I don't know.

Speaker 4 I am.

Speaker 16 That's Courtney Morris. Her shih tzu is missing.

Speaker 14 Who has a shihzu in the mountains?

Speaker 16 Nobody anymore.

Speaker 16 That's 20.

Speaker 31 What are we going to do?

Speaker 4 I don't know.

Speaker 16 I guess tomorrow morning we start at the top of the list.

Speaker 7 So, tomorrow, we're just going to what?

Speaker 23 Scooby-doo our way through the woods looking for them?

Speaker 16 What should we do? Hire a team of dogs to find the dogs?

Speaker 13 This is bad. Yeah.

Speaker 16 The cowboy thing the other day was kind of charming. This is not so charming.

Speaker 12 It's a nightmare.

Speaker 16 Maybe the dogs are organizing. Maybe they want bargaining power.
Maybe it's a dog strike.

Speaker 4 Oh, shit. What?

Speaker 6 Trinket, Coralie, coming up the driveway.

Speaker 4 No.

Speaker 26 Of all the fucking days.

Speaker 16 Why are you acting like we're getting inspected or something?

Speaker 31 Because we are.

Speaker 16 Hey, Trinket.

Speaker 4 Hello.

Speaker 16 Welcome back. How long were you gone for?

Speaker 34 It was supposed to be three years.

Speaker 34 I came back early.

Speaker 16 We missed you, I'm sure.

Speaker 18 Frank. Trinket.

Speaker 16 So I'm gonna go make some more calls. Great.
Great to see you, Trinket.

Speaker 34 Yes.

Speaker 7 So, I hear you were in Egypt.

Speaker 4 No.

Speaker 7 Deidre told me you were in Cairo.

Speaker 34 Cairo, New York.

Speaker 6 There's a Cairo, New York?

Speaker 34 Just barely.

Speaker 6 What the hell were you doing there?

Speaker 34 Research.

Speaker 13 Research?

Speaker 34 I'm writing a book.

Speaker 4 Really? Um, what about?

Speaker 34 Frank, you don't care what I'm writing a book about.

Speaker 21 I really don't.

Speaker 34 Let's move on.

Speaker 4 Great.

Speaker 34 I didn't want to cut my trip short, Frank, but I was advised to return early.

Speaker 6 You were advised?

Speaker 34 Yes.

Speaker 12 Trinket, by any chance, were you advised to come back early by a deck of tarot cards?

Speaker 34 I don't like your tones.

Speaker 14 So that's a a yes?

Speaker 34 I've chosen to not let your energy affect mine.

Speaker 34 Okay. I don't enjoy these interactions between us.

Speaker 18 I'm having a great time.

Speaker 34 Your opinion of me is no secret.

Speaker 34 I'm asking you to set that aside for one moment.

Speaker 9 Okay.

Speaker 4 Okay, fine.

Speaker 34 Thank you.

Speaker 19 What can I do for you?

Speaker 34 I'd like you to come by my shop tomorrow.

Speaker 3 Why?

Speaker 34 Because I'd like to speak with you.

Speaker 18 Why?

Speaker 4 Frank,

Speaker 34 I would like to speak with you.

Speaker 7 Trinket, you're standing in front of me right now.

Speaker 34 I'd like to speak with you tomorrow.

Speaker 26 Do we need to draw this out? We can't do this now.

Speaker 34 I need to be more focused when we talk, and I just got off an airplane, and I need to clean that experience off me before we talk.

Speaker 7 You were on a plane?

Speaker 34 Yes.

Speaker 13 You hate planes.

Speaker 34 I do.

Speaker 34 But it was important that I get back as soon as possible, so I made an exception.

Speaker 13 So this this must be very important.

Speaker 34 Yes.

Speaker 21 So

Speaker 21 important

Speaker 9 that it can wait until tomorrow?

Speaker 34 The work I was doing was very important to me.

Speaker 34 I wouldn't be here if I didn't feel it was necessary.

Speaker 29 Something

Speaker 34 has shifted.

Speaker 34 I don't know what it is, but I'd like to speak with you about it

Speaker 15 tomorrow.

Speaker 4 Okay.

Speaker 4 Okay.

Speaker 18 Fine.

Speaker 13 I will stop by tomorrow morning.

Speaker 4 Thank you.

Speaker 34 The energy in town is very strange right now. Is there anything strange going on?

Speaker 34 Nope.

Speaker 34 No?

Speaker 13 Just another day.

Speaker 29 All right.

Speaker 34 Tomorrow.

Speaker 10 Tomorrow.

Speaker 4 Thank you.

Speaker 7 Do you do you need a ride home?

Speaker 12 I can throw your bike in the back of my truck.

Speaker 34 I hate your truck.

Speaker 4 Okay.

Speaker 9 Okay.

Speaker 26 What?

Speaker 8 Well, that was the plan.

Speaker 4 Okay, great.

Speaker 14 Great.

Speaker 4 We'll do.

Speaker 4 Hi there.

Speaker 25 Hello. Enjoying your stay?

Speaker 25 Yeah, um, lots of people come here in the winter, but this is my favorite time of year.

Speaker 4 It's so quiet. So quiet, yeah.
I'm Deidre.

Speaker 25 Verge. Nice to meet you.

Speaker 25 How long are you in town for?

Speaker 4 I'm not sure, actually.

Speaker 25 Ah, that sounds nice. I went backpacking through Argentina Argentina after college.
No itinerary when I wanted to move on. I moved on.
It was nice.

Speaker 25 hey, if you're gonna be in town for a while, you should come by the sheep's eye.

Speaker 25 I'm the bartender. Um, first drinks on me.

Speaker 8 Yeah.

Speaker 4 Yeah. Yes.
Okay.

Speaker 34 Great.

Speaker 9 Did you, what's going on?

Speaker 12 What is Sparker doing here?

Speaker 25 Um, my grandpa wanted to keep him moving.

Speaker 9 Keep him moving?

Speaker 25 Yeah, so he's harder to find.

Speaker 4 Harder.

Speaker 25 Frank, I know it sounds ridiculous, but how many dogs are missing right now? Okay.

Speaker 6 Okay, fine.

Speaker 20 Local chieftain?

Speaker 8 People keep coming to you with their problems.

Speaker 21 They do.

Speaker 8 Why is that?

Speaker 21 I don't know.

Speaker 7 But you take any group of people, and given enough time, eventually someone will become the one everyone complains to.

Speaker 8 Oh, so you're just lucky then.

Speaker 11 just lucky.

Speaker 13 Verge, I was serious about the bear warning, okay?

Speaker 4 All right, all right.

Speaker 8 I'm going inside, boss man.

Speaker 16 Jesus Christ now what's the one's owned's everyone's everyone's dog.

Speaker 34 Including Rambo.

Speaker 13 Uh, there's Baron Munchausen.

Speaker 29 Hi, Baron Munchausen.

Speaker 8 So, I take it

Speaker 8 this is not normal?

Speaker 4 Oh,

Speaker 16 no.

Speaker 16 Nope.

Speaker 16 This is... This

Speaker 16 is...

Speaker 4 New.

Speaker 4 Alright.

Speaker 4 Well.

Speaker 8 I guess we've both got some explaining to do, don't we?

Speaker 4 Yeah.

Speaker 15 I guess

Speaker 16 we've got to

Speaker 4 call

Speaker 16 everyone. Tell them to

Speaker 16 come get their dogs.

Speaker 4 Okay.

Speaker 8 Well, that was fun.

Speaker 11 Verge.

Speaker 4 Uh

Speaker 4 thank you.

Speaker 18 Um

Speaker 6 we've got to deal with this right now, so

Speaker 20 breakfast.

Speaker 6 Tomorrow we can all tell each other some interesting stories.

Speaker 4 Okay?

Speaker 20 Looking forward to it,

Speaker 16 Frank. Thanks for a

Speaker 16 jumping the huge monster anytime.

Speaker 8 I'll see you in the morning then.

Speaker 4 What in the world was all that noise?

Speaker 4 Um,

Speaker 8 Elden, I don't suppose it's a common occurrence on earth for a bunch of

Speaker 24 dogs

Speaker 8 to combine into one big dog and then split up again into a bunch of small small smaller dogs. It sounds crazy when I say it.

Speaker 4 What the fuck are you talking about?

Speaker 8 Never mind. Never mind.
Never mind. Elden, don't

Speaker 8 play the message again.

Speaker 2 Playing saved message.

Speaker 35 Hey, please don't delete this.

Speaker 35 I, uh,

Speaker 35 I have no idea where to start with this message, so I'll just start talking. And I'm sorry if some of it sounds like

Speaker 35 nonsense.

Speaker 35 Every time I'm in a place that looks enough like home, I send off this message to your usual message relay and hope that you get it.

Speaker 35 I hope you're okay.

Speaker 35 In fact, I hope you're more than okay. I hope you're...

Speaker 35 I don't know. I hope you finally went sailing.

Speaker 35 I don't know how much you know about what's going on with me, but it's...

Speaker 35 it's an interesting life.

Speaker 35 And in that interesting life, you see some interesting things, go to some interesting places.

Speaker 35 There's this place I came across the other day, and uh.

Speaker 35 I don't know, I thought of you for some reason.

Speaker 35 If you're still always on the lookout for good places to hide for a while,

Speaker 35 I may have found one for you.

Speaker 35 It's a nice place. It's weird, but it's nice.

Speaker 35 Of course,

Speaker 35 what I really hope is that you somehow manage to stop running.

Speaker 35 But somehow life is different for you.

Speaker 35 You deserved a different life.

Speaker 35 Anyway, I think you'd like this place.

Speaker 35 I think it might hold your attention.

Speaker 35 Earth always felt like a prison for me, but for you?

Speaker 35 Who knows?

Speaker 35 The coordinates are embedded in this message. I'm assuming you've still got my encryption key.

Speaker 35 I hope I get to see you again someday.

Speaker 35 Until then,

Speaker 35 give it a shot, Verge.

Speaker 35 You never know when something's going to be exactly what you're looking for.

Speaker 8 I think it might hold your attention. My God.

Speaker 8 I fucking hate him when you're right.

Speaker 4 Elden,

Speaker 8 deploy a sensor dome on this location, play some nice music,

Speaker 8 wake me up in seven hours.

Speaker 14 Sensor Dome deployed.

Speaker 27 Anything on the agenda tomorrow.

Speaker 11 A very interesting breakfast.

Speaker 2 Alarm set for seven hours.

Speaker 4 Good night, Verge.
