507: A Little Ditty 'Bout Jakk and Shai'An [ft. Chris Grace and Eric Gersen]

Speaker 1 This is Seer at IT5. Our live performance on October 3rd at the Bell House in Brooklyn, New York was sold out.

Speaker 1 But good news: additional tickets are now available. Info and tickets at mission to zix.space.

Speaker 2 Hello,

Speaker 3 Bargie.

Speaker 3 Anybody? Can anyone hear me?

Speaker 5 The sandstorm must be blocking the signal.

Speaker 5 Ugh, and my feet are so sore. Why would you make it so the thing that you walk on becomes painful to walk on when you walk on it too much?

Speaker 2 It makes no sense.

Speaker 5 I can find some shelter if I just open my eyes real wide in this sandstorm.

Speaker 6 Oh,

Speaker 7 Rod!

Speaker 7 It's air.

Speaker 8 Why would you make ocular sensors so wet?

Speaker 10 Space.

Speaker 9 Some is chill.

Speaker 9 Some is tuped up.

Speaker 9 All is part of the great infinite cosmic ballet.

Speaker 9 The venerable starship, the RSS Synergy, forges ever deeper into uncharted regions of their galaxy, growing the coalition of united planets in the name of science, benevolence, and peace.

Speaker 5 Now, lead envoy C-53 and his intrepid crew explore new worlds, forge alliances, and search for a way back home to finally fulfill their

Speaker 11 mission to sink.

Speaker 11 Hey, Bargie.

Speaker 11 Yeah.

Speaker 11 Um,

Speaker 16 who are all these people surrounding the ship?

Speaker 17 Oh, there's just a lot of sentients who are interested in speaking to me. The sentient spaceship.
Oh, really? I know. It's very exciting times for me right now.
Bargie's having a moment.

Speaker 20 Great.

Speaker 17 Yes, I'll be with you in a second. I'm just talking to my inside.

Speaker 20 What is inside of you?

Speaker 22 Yes, I have insights.

Speaker 14 I love you too.

Speaker 23 It's just a bunch of scientists and reporters who are talking about.

Speaker 18 Yes, asking me questions like what makes you tick.

Speaker 24 Oh.

Speaker 16 What does make you tick, Bargie?

Speaker 26 Who you know?

Speaker 24 Uh pain and rape.

Speaker 20 It's that giant clock.

Speaker 17 Anyway, they also took a couple of my wires. They said they're gonna use it to study what I am.

Speaker 19 Oh, cool. I don't know if that means sounds fun.

Speaker 20 Were they important wires?

Speaker 17 The bathroom doesn't work, don't worry about it.

Speaker 29 No, uh, listen, the scientists need to figure out what they need to figure out, and that means that we don't have a bathroom.

Speaker 30 That's what it means, you know. Okay, all right.

Speaker 31 Can you move the crew from away from the window for these photos, please?

Speaker 16 This shoot is about how the spaceship is alive, and if we see these people in the window,

Speaker 17 I can just bounce them to another direction.

Speaker 14 Oh, perfect, perfect shot.

Speaker 23 Thank you.

Speaker 20 Where's Robot Man? Yeah, see, are you gonna get that?

Speaker 20 Robot!

Speaker 16 Yeah,

Speaker 30 AJ, relax, relax.

Speaker 34 He's

Speaker 35 hey, AJ, he doesn't need he's around here somewhere.

Speaker 20 He'll answer.

Speaker 34 Yeah, where is he, though?

Speaker 24 Normally, when we do these missions, he's

Speaker 16 AJ, how does your speaker, your helmet speaker, even get that loud?

Speaker 37 How is that possible?

Speaker 28 Sometimes what I have to do is crowd control, I'm on its own crowd control setting.

Speaker 36 Normally, it's like, you know,

Speaker 36 obey us, right?

Speaker 34 Surrender your will to us. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

Speaker 39 Sure.

Speaker 34 Is someone gonna get that?

Speaker 17 It's gonna go to voicemail with no one yet.

Speaker 34 It's just the button.

Speaker 16 Yeah, he's got the whole thing where he says Nermit's title.

Speaker 20 And honestly, if I answer it, it just feels like I'm trying to reclaim something that I don't even know that I liked in the first place.

Speaker 17 Hi, yes, this is Baji's voicemail by Jerry at J Harlow Starship for the stars.

Speaker 26 I'm currently lost in space, so I cannot answer your phone call. Delone, if this is you, don't be a coward, you know what you did.

Speaker 1 By yeah.

Speaker 1 Oh, wow.

Speaker 26 Hey, everyone.

Speaker 26 It's Nermit trying to reach you. Have never gotten the old voicemail before.
So I guess call me back kind of immediately when you get this.

Speaker 26 Everything is totally cool, but I would drop everything else you're doing. Just give me an old ring-oh, please pick up.

Speaker 29 Hello.

Speaker 5 Break in the sandstorm. Gotta try and meet up with this representative before it starts up again.

Speaker 5 Okay,

Speaker 5 time to find

Speaker 5 Cheyenne, son of Jack.

Speaker 5 I guess I'll just um

Speaker 5 let's try this way.

Speaker 5 Yeah, these the knees, too?

Speaker 5 Man, nothing on this body works right.

Speaker 42 Oh,

Speaker 42 um

Speaker 42 over

Speaker 42 there.

Speaker 42 There's a man

Speaker 42 over

Speaker 42 there.

Speaker 5 Excuse me, um,

Speaker 5 hello, yes, uh, I'm well, I'm not a man, it's sort of not worth getting into.

Speaker 43 Uh, the chameleon skin of a man inside a machine,

Speaker 43 or a machine inside a man.

Speaker 5 Yes, that's sort of accurate.

Speaker 8 I am C53. Where's that music coming from? That is.

Speaker 39 We greet you.

Speaker 45 I greet the crying of a bird.

Speaker 43 Yes. An insect on a leaf.

Speaker 43 The setting of the three suns

Speaker 2 in harmony.

Speaker 2 We greet you.

Speaker 5 And I, in return, greet you.

Speaker 47 I am C53.

Speaker 43 The setting of the three suns.

Speaker 34 Okay.

Speaker 4 An insect on a leaf.

Speaker 4 We greet you.

Speaker 43 The setting of the sun.

Speaker 5 Oh, okay.

Speaker 5 I feel like I'm missing something.

Speaker 43 Oh, my name is Cheyenne. Oh.

Speaker 43 Cheyenne, Son of Jack.

Speaker 47 Fantastic.

Speaker 43 My name is Cheyenne.

Speaker 43 Son of Jack, step back. Oh.
Boy, you're gonna have a good time in this little town of mine. The Felswargo trucks are coming.

Speaker 5 I can understand the words you're saying, but the meaning is being lost.

Speaker 41 Wow, I can't even...

Speaker 5 I can't contact Bargy or anybody. There's some kind of interference.
Cheyenne, son of Jack, I am C-53. I'm a lead envoy from

Speaker 50 the Koo.

Speaker 8 Koo wants to know why everyone on this planet mysteriously disappeared.

Speaker 32 Why didn't there have to only be

Speaker 47 53 seas?

Speaker 11 This rock has got water everywhere.

Speaker 43 We've got oceans and rivers and lakes, but only 53 seas

Speaker 43 seas

Speaker 5 Is are did you write a song about my name

Speaker 12 or is that

Speaker 51 a song is as good as a handshake where I come from

Speaker 11 a little island on this rock of mine

Speaker 43 A song is as good as a handshake where I come from.

Speaker 51 We write a song as a handshake.

Speaker 4 You write a song as a handshake.

Speaker 32 We also don't have hands.

Speaker 34 You couldn't shake it even if you wanted to. Cause you don't have

Speaker 34 hands.

Speaker 5 I think I understand on some level.

Speaker 5 Your people use song to communicate. Everything becomes a song.
Every word we have in our language would be a lyric in yours.

Speaker 5 Oh, a song about you.

Speaker 4 I'm looking at a man.

Speaker 32 He's got no hands.

Speaker 2 He's looking at me like he wants me to sing him a song.

Speaker 2 So I'm singing him a song.

Speaker 48 I hope it won't be too long before this man says,

Speaker 5 Not a bad job on that song.

Speaker 29 He's like a child.

Speaker 3 He writes songs like a child.

Speaker 23 Well, I just

Speaker 7 don't know that I've done a lot of it before.

Speaker 35 Like a child.

Speaker 47 A little starling flying through my sky.

Speaker 47 Sleep.

Speaker 5 All of a sudden, I'm so drowsy here.

Speaker 30 We both sleep as I cradle you.

Speaker 23 Shannon, son of Jack, I guess stay awake.

Speaker 11 The cat is in the silver spoon,

Speaker 50 and the cradle is the moon.

Speaker 16 Oh, uh, hey guys, Nermit's calling again.

Speaker 16 You know what? I'm just gonna pick it up.

Speaker 48 Hey, Nermit.

Speaker 48 There you guys are.

Speaker 16 Sorry, we didn't pick up the guy. We thought C-53 was gonna pick it up, so we never did.

Speaker 20 He's not there. Is he back with you?

Speaker 20 Well, that's kind of the thing, is he's

Speaker 20 on a mission.

Speaker 27 What? Wait, we're not on a mission.

Speaker 47 We're waiting for a mission.

Speaker 26 Right, I'll give you a mission momentarily, and that mission is related to the solo mission that C-53 went on.

Speaker 22 What a solo mission!

Speaker 32 What are you talking about? Hold on.

Speaker 55 What?

Speaker 28 No, dark, you're squeezing my arm hard.

Speaker 20 It's just so much change, you know? I just, I don't understand.

Speaker 16 Yeah, where is C-53, Nermit?

Speaker 26 Well, you're going to find out because your mission is to rescue him, but he, as lead-on boy, he sometimes remits.

Speaker 22 Yes.

Speaker 31 Nermit, we're a crew. We're a team.

Speaker 37 If C-53 is in danger, it's probably because we weren't with him.

Speaker 28 He might might still be on the ship.

Speaker 27 Remember, AJ,

Speaker 31 I can't. My ears cannot handle any more of that.

Speaker 20 How long has this been going on?

Speaker 26 This particular mission? Let's see, he left.

Speaker 22 No, no, no, no, no.

Speaker 22 Solo mission.

Speaker 16 How many of these solo missions has C53 gone?

Speaker 16 He just left.

Speaker 16 Yeah, why did he just walk away?

Speaker 22 Nermit, get back on screen.

Speaker 32 Get back on screen.

Speaker 20 Nermit, get back on screen and quit being a coward. Okay,

Speaker 26 so he has gone on six of these.

Speaker 40 They've all gone well. Six?

Speaker 26 Yes, he's gone on six solo missions.

Speaker 31 We haven't even gone on six crew missions. We've only been here for a couple weeks.

Speaker 26 He's lead envoy.

Speaker 20 Lead envoy.

Speaker 20 We know.

Speaker 16 Nermit, how does he even have the hours in the day to go on missions without us?

Speaker 26 Well, you all sleep every night, and he seems to think he doesn't have to.

Speaker 12 No, he does.

Speaker 26 That makes sense. He's been very sleepy on some of these missions, but that's when he goes at night.

Speaker 16 Nermit.

Speaker 26 Yes.

Speaker 16 Where is C-53?

Speaker 26 Okay, C-53 was sent on a solo mission to GEC3.

Speaker 28 No, it was C-53.

Speaker 26 Now you know that? You just literally yelled Robucket, don't do it!

Speaker 16 GEC-3, that barely sounds like a planet. What's I mean, is there a civilization there?

Speaker 26 Well, it's funny you should ask. There was.
So, uh, the only one there now is Cheyenne, son of Jack, who C53 was sent to make contact with to find out why everyone else is missing.

Speaker 20 Like you're asking all the wrong questions.

Speaker 20 I want to know what makes C53 better

Speaker 22 than all of us.

Speaker 27 No, no, Dar. We're a team.

Speaker 26 Anything is a deficit.

Speaker 16 Nermit, I just want to recap. Sure.

Speaker 16 You sent

Speaker 16 C53

Speaker 27 on his own

Speaker 16 to a planet

Speaker 16 where the only thing we know about it is that people have disappeared from it.

Speaker 20 Right.

Speaker 20 Because

Speaker 20 you think

Speaker 20 he's better than us.

Speaker 16 And now you're surprised that he's gone and you want us to go help find him.

Speaker 20 Well, why don't you find another AI in a meat sack to find him?

Speaker 33 I mean, we honestly would have, but there aren't any, so.

Speaker 20 We're not even your first choice for saving wait.

Speaker 56 You decided to send another team to save C53?

Speaker 58 I didn't I

Speaker 38 oh boy, Nermit.

Speaker 26 If you all are so obsessed with being together as a crew with C53, well great. Your mission is to rescue him.

Speaker 27 I don't like this.

Speaker 16 I don't like this, Nermit. We're gonna go save him, but it's because we're his best friends and we're the best crew, not because it's our mission.

Speaker 16 Nermit, send us the coordinates, and then I want you to go sit in the corner of that big big old office building and have a think about how you treated us today.

Speaker 2 Yeah, yeah.

Speaker 26 Okay, here are the coordinates, and I'm gonna sit in exactly the center of this giant office.

Speaker 57 Okay. No corners for this lerd.
Okay.

Speaker 28 Hey, here's a question. When we get down there, should we like call for him or something?

Speaker 2 No.

Speaker 27 I think we could just look with our eyes first and see how that goes.

Speaker 27 Nah.

Speaker 16 No, we certainly don't need to scream anything.

Speaker 39 All right.

Speaker 39 Thank you. Come again.

Speaker 42 Oh,

Speaker 56 was I forgot to give him a warranty card for the nips on that droid?

Speaker 36 Stephen!

Speaker 10 Oh, right.

Speaker 5 Cheyenne, son of Jack. It's not very musical.

Speaker 38 Cheyenne, son of Jack.

Speaker 5 Thank you for guarding me as I slept.

Speaker 43 The smell of a bison recently slaughtered.

Speaker 5 Oh, that's very bloody.

Speaker 27 Thank you, Cheyenne,

Speaker 37 for this midday feast.

Speaker 32 I thank you for it,

Speaker 15 though I need it in the least.

Speaker 16 I thank you for it.

Speaker 2 I thank you for it.

Speaker 5 Oh my god, the flowers are growing back all around us,

Speaker 33 Cheyenne. I must ask you,

Speaker 38 where does this music come from?

Speaker 5 Oh, you're tapping your chest. It comes from you?

Speaker 27 The music

Speaker 53 comes from you.

Speaker 34 You are the music.

Speaker 32 The music man.

Speaker 2 That's what they could call you

Speaker 53 if they wanted to give you a name

Speaker 2 other than China.

Speaker 2 A song

Speaker 13 from my

Speaker 13 heart.

Speaker 13 Literally

Speaker 53 a song from my heart A sentient face Instead of a heart That plays its own music

Speaker 5 Oh my rod He's got another entity fused to his chest and he's playing what looks like a piano key necktie.

Speaker 29 You got it

Speaker 5 Okay,

Speaker 32 you don't sing?

Speaker 51 No, I don't sing.

Speaker 2 I just lay the tag down.

Speaker 30 Confused.

Speaker 5 Yeah, well, that I that I can see.

Speaker 34 A song from my heart.

Speaker 34 A song from his heart.

Speaker 34 A song from my heart.

Speaker 34 A song from his heart

Speaker 34 might

Speaker 5 feel like when I was in a frame, I would have had the range, but

Speaker 25 this is GEC3?

Speaker 34 I mean, there's nothing on this planet.

Speaker 29 Do you want me to show? No. Okay.

Speaker 29 He's fine.

Speaker 20 So, this is where he goes to be alone.

Speaker 25 I don't think so.

Speaker 54 Dar, I think C-53 might be in real trouble. We need to help him.

Speaker 13 Do you guys hear that? It's kind of like the lilting kind of delicate melody.

Speaker 60 Yeah, I do.

Speaker 54 It sort of seems coming from that little oasis over there?

Speaker 49 I don't know. In my training, we would call this a vamp.

Speaker 15 But I'm not sure.

Speaker 15 What training? What training would you do?

Speaker 61 I served a tour of duty with Clint.

Speaker 46 Oh, okay, yeah.

Speaker 12 I think that's just a regular tour. I think you toured with them.

Speaker 20 So, are you both just going to talk over the vamp or what?

Speaker 2 Well, that's what you do.

Speaker 28 You talk over a vampire.

Speaker 15 Yeah. You sort of lay out what's going on.

Speaker 29 Yeah, exactly.

Speaker 61 It's like there's the oasis.

Speaker 29 We should follow it.

Speaker 14 Yeah.

Speaker 6 Two pebbles in the sun.

Speaker 49 What's that?

Speaker 29 Two pebbles

Speaker 2 in the water.

Speaker 30 Wow, look at that guy.

Speaker 34 Yeah, he's big.

Speaker 35 Echoing out.

Speaker 39 He's got a nice voice, though.

Speaker 43 To the edge of the pond.

Speaker 39 Now you really can have it all.

Speaker 55 By the two pebbles

Speaker 55 bonded forever

Speaker 55 and the life

Speaker 47 seems to be strange.

Speaker 47 It

Speaker 39 Those two pebbles

Speaker 14 surrounded by green,

Speaker 35 by life.

Speaker 3 A lush, verdant wave of love.

Speaker 3 C53.

Speaker 54 Oh, you're here.

Speaker 4 Thank Rod.

Speaker 25 When you hit that last note,

Speaker 37 a palm tree just popped out of the ground.

Speaker 61 Also, it was just artistry. It was just very

Speaker 29 brought us into the saw. Beautiful.

Speaker 20 I've never seen C-53 sing like that before.

Speaker 35 Why are you hiding that from us?

Speaker 32 Why are you hiding that from us?

Speaker 61 It really hurts when you squeeze it that hard.

Speaker 29 Ah,

Speaker 4 strangers at the barricade.

Speaker 4 Strangers at the barricade.

Speaker 43 Strangers at the barricade.

Speaker 3 Who are they?

Speaker 55 Who are they?

Speaker 7 Cheyenne,

Speaker 23 be not afraid of these strangers at the barricade.

Speaker 40 These are my friends,

Speaker 4 and they have come to offer us aid.

Speaker 28 Listen, the alien doesn't have hands, so I feel like I could take him.

Speaker 27 No, AJ, stop. No, I think this is my way to do it.

Speaker 23 It's not.

Speaker 16 No, I don't think it's that. C-53, is everything okay?

Speaker 15 What happened here?

Speaker 5 Envoy Dexter.

Speaker 5 This is Cheyenne, son of Jack.

Speaker 5 But

Speaker 5 maybe I should put it a little differently.

Speaker 15 Just explain what that means.

Speaker 2 Two pebbles

Speaker 23 walking up the sun.

Speaker 32 Two pebbles.

Speaker 32 Laughing, having fun.

Speaker 22 Two pebbles.

Speaker 47 They only want more.

Speaker 51 But now there aren't two pebbles.

Speaker 35 Cause here are four more

Speaker 35 pebbles.

Speaker 51 Six pebbles in the sun

Speaker 2 And there'll be many more pebbles before we're done Wow

Speaker 2 And this pebble looks like

Speaker 3 this pebble used to be in charge but is no longer in charge

Speaker 4 He nailed you darn

Speaker 4 And this pebble is thinking of days gone by

Speaker 39 when he used to

Speaker 47 sing with other guys.

Speaker 16 You guys gonna do one about me as a pebble?

Speaker 2 Or

Speaker 32 there's also another pebble

Speaker 55 that looks like any old pebble.

Speaker 2 What?

Speaker 2 Sort of a generic-looking pebble.

Speaker 61 Oh, yeah, they really do.

Speaker 7 Yeah.

Speaker 4 Parjay, I'm patching you in.

Speaker 35 Are you hearing this?

Speaker 39 What?

Speaker 2 And a giant pebble

Speaker 23 way up in the sky.

Speaker 17 What is the sound? I don't like it.

Speaker 16 No, Pargi, it's it's music. C53 has discovered

Speaker 25 a society that communicates solely through song. Where's the music coming from?

Speaker 34 Okay, all right, okay, let's

Speaker 2 okay, everyone, get it out.

Speaker 39 All right, this is just it's fused, it's fused.

Speaker 34 I'm fused. Let's get over it.

Speaker 34 Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Speaker 29 Hey,

Speaker 7 come on.

Speaker 2 Don't kick a fused thing while it's fused.

Speaker 54 C-53, this is amazing.

Speaker 5 It's certainly an extremely unique planet. I don't think I've ever encountered anything quite like it.

Speaker 16 What happened here? Did you find out what happened to all of the rest of the people on the planet?

Speaker 43 Well,

Speaker 43 if you want to hear the story about GEC,

Speaker 43 listen to a story told by me.

Speaker 2 I'm going to tell you a little bit of rap.

Speaker 47 The history is cool.

Speaker 43 And how rap works on this planet.

Speaker 43 Yeah, here's the history. You heard it never be a mystery.

Speaker 52 It's a history rap.

Speaker 51 History rap.

Speaker 2 It's the history rap.

Speaker 27 Oh, so he can rap, but he can't sing.

Speaker 43 Let me tell you something about the way that rap works on this planet.

Speaker 43 You don't have to think it up.

Speaker 8 You gotta just plan it.

Speaker 43 And the only way that things rhyme is you say the word rap

Speaker 43 at the end of every line. And that's what things mean when they rhyme.

Speaker 7 Rap.

Speaker 43 A long time ago, there were millions of people on this planet. Rap.

Speaker 43 And you know, someone came and killed everyone except me.

Speaker 2 Rap.

Speaker 43 Except for me and my dad, who's in my body now.

Speaker 48 Rap.

Speaker 2 What?

Speaker 22 That's That's right.

Speaker 43 And he plays piano on what was formerly a necktie. Rap.

Speaker 29 That's right. That's the reveal.

Speaker 29 Wait, hold on.

Speaker 29 Hey, what's your name, man?

Speaker 16 I'm Jack. Yeah, AJ, as in Cheyenne's son of Jack.

Speaker 16 Oh. Yes.

Speaker 45 The reveal has been revealed.

Speaker 64 Wow, I guess we do know Jack.

Speaker 53 And that's the history of rap.

Speaker 25 Wow, they really made rap so accessible.

Speaker 20 Rap in history. A perfect marriage.

Speaker 28 I mean, everybody's saying it's great, but I'm not sure it is.

Speaker 28 Like, I don't quite follow it.

Speaker 13 We can do it again for you.

Speaker 45 Do you want us to do the history of rap?

Speaker 2 We can do it.

Speaker 5 Jack, Cheyenne, that's terrible what happened to your planet.

Speaker 4 I'm so sorry.

Speaker 35 Yes.

Speaker 16 If your planet was destroyed, how did you survive?

Speaker 5 Pleck, you can't just ask them the question. That's not their language.
You've got to sing.

Speaker 16 But, like, Jack talks, so why can't I just talk to him?

Speaker 61 No, it's gross when he does it.

Speaker 20 I mean, sing, so Cheyenne will communicate, not Jack.

Speaker 2 Sing, it's easy.

Speaker 7 Oh, boy.

Speaker 32 Okay.

Speaker 17 Pleck needs to start at some point, right?

Speaker 27 Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. I'm getting to it.

Speaker 28 Hey, just Papa, ask them, like, what their deal is why they're so gross looking, right?

Speaker 20 Yeah, ask them how, like, father and son can be that close, you know?

Speaker 46 Two men on a planet,

Speaker 25 the only ones left alive.

Speaker 4 But how

Speaker 16 did Cheyenne

Speaker 32 and Jack survive?

Speaker 47 I got a hundred meat pies,

Speaker 43 but I threw a lot of them in the oven.

Speaker 58 99 meat pies, 98 meat pies into my hot oven.

Speaker 43 But the last two meat pies on me plate

Speaker 47 they turned into one pie.

Speaker 60 Okay.

Speaker 2 I think I understand now.

Speaker 25 What did I miss?

Speaker 23 What did I miss?

Speaker 28 You don't understand what he said.

Speaker 27 Okay, let me try again. Let me try again.

Speaker 31 Cause I just, I feel like I almost got what you were saying,

Speaker 34 but then I got confused.

Speaker 51 Please tell me how did Cheyenne and Jack get fused?

Speaker 51 Oh, he's a dumb one. Okay, I can.

Speaker 53 This one's a dumb one.

Speaker 48 I can tell.

Speaker 42 Okay, AJ. Papa's my bad.

Speaker 42 Okay, alright.

Speaker 10 So he is pet.

Speaker 2 No, not really.

Speaker 27 I wouldn't say pet.

Speaker 5 No, that's not fair, but kind of a mascot.

Speaker 20 He does go on the rug sometimes.

Speaker 27 That happened once, and it was

Speaker 20 an accident.

Speaker 27 It was an accident.

Speaker 34 He was scared. He was scared.

Speaker 37 It was an accident.

Speaker 16 The gravity was off. I was very disoriented.

Speaker 55 You got a surprise.

Speaker 37 Yes.

Speaker 6 Mm-hmm.

Speaker 16 So, wait, how is all of this stuff just sprouting up when we sing?

Speaker 62 Yeah, how are things going back?

Speaker 62 It's harmony.

Speaker 7 Harmony's the air. I can talk.

Speaker 30 That's weird. Yeah, we know you can talk.

Speaker 28 We just don't like looking at you.

Speaker 27 Wait, harmony?

Speaker 15 What do you mean?

Speaker 35 Well, let's see.

Speaker 5 Oh, stop. That's unison.
Okay.

Speaker 53 Oh, no, some of the trees are going back.

Speaker 61 Okay, we'll try again. We'll just try again.

Speaker 20 Or maybe we just stop. Maybe no singing.

Speaker 65 We gotta do it.

Speaker 65 Whoa, like the bush and an animal appeared just now.

Speaker 16 This field is starting to grow.

Speaker 16 The harmony grows things on this planet.

Speaker 2 A long time ago,

Speaker 33 there were millions of my family on GEC,

Speaker 3 and then a powerful

Speaker 44 DET

Speaker 3 came down,

Speaker 43 made us sing the same no,

Speaker 2 no harmony,

Speaker 25 unison,

Speaker 3 murdered my family.

Speaker 31 I think that's actually happened.

Speaker 35 Except my father.

Speaker 54 This is what I was was trying to ask in my song.

Speaker 49 Shh, you were quiet during yourself.

Speaker 5 Ballad.

Speaker 16 Oh, you gotta say it with every genre. Great.
Okay, yeah.

Speaker 55 Okay,

Speaker 35 sure.

Speaker 60 Wow.

Speaker 20 How did they make you sing the same note? Like, they controlled you or they asked you or

Speaker 5 you're asking, you're asking Cheyenne to relive a genocide on this planet for the sake of getting

Speaker 23 details.

Speaker 46 It doesn't really matter.

Speaker 29 They are.

Speaker 2 Same

Speaker 10 sheet music.

Speaker 13 Oh,

Speaker 2 Here's a simple answer.

Speaker 20 You know, honestly, I just feel like everyone's been asking the wrong question. I know.

Speaker 5 Well, Dar, what question would you ask?

Speaker 20 Yeah, I have a question.

Speaker 20 It's for you, see.

Speaker 32 Do you need help learning to sing?

Speaker 34 I can help you.

Speaker 40 Oh, I know.

Speaker 61 I am trained in tactical singing, so I'll ask the question on your behalf, and then we won't have to look at Jack because he's gross.

Speaker 20 Yeah, that would be incredibly helpful, actually.

Speaker 45 What is it? What's the question?

Speaker 6 Well,

Speaker 39 I really want to ask C.

Speaker 29 What I really want to know!

Speaker 29 What I really want to know!

Speaker 65 Okay, what? Why'd you have to go?

Speaker 34 Why do you just have to go?

Speaker 13 Why did you have to go

Speaker 14 and do it all alone

Speaker 13 and do it all alone?

Speaker 40 Sorry, I was actually I was still kind of

Speaker 46 going. Yeah, sorry.

Speaker 7 Okay, what was the next one?

Speaker 20 I thought we were your home.

Speaker 35 Again,

Speaker 35 this is great, man.

Speaker 27 AG? Oh,

Speaker 35 I mean, he's sure.

Speaker 7 I got my finger up at everything.

Speaker 46 Does that help?

Speaker 39 Helps a lot, actually.

Speaker 28 You hold one side of your helmet and you put your finger up, you're like,

Speaker 34 Wow, look at all the flowers!

Speaker 29 Birds!

Speaker 27 Wow, AJ, your voice sounds so cool when you sing.

Speaker 28 Oh, yeah, I've got standard military grade pitch correction in the helmet.

Speaker 46 Oh, is that what that is? Okay.

Speaker 35 Listen,

Speaker 7 there's one thing I know about harmony.

Speaker 62 Sure, two is good, but more is better.

Speaker 7 We're gonna have to build a cord.

Speaker 5 We're gonna build a cord.

Speaker 5 Okay, AJ.

Speaker 7 We can put on a show.

Speaker 6 We can do it here.

Speaker 62 We've got the costumes.

Speaker 40 No, we don't need costumes, AJ.

Speaker 36 AJ, no, but what we need is a cord.

Speaker 2 If all the children in the world

Speaker 32 came together in a village

Speaker 43 and held the hands of each other,

Speaker 3 then we'd be holding the hands of each other.

Speaker 47 Even though we don't have hands,

Speaker 47 we'd grow and grow.

Speaker 5 What the joke is he's talking about? Yeah, AJ, their language is highly metaphorical.

Speaker 5 He's agreeing with you.

Speaker 8 He's saying we should come together and make a chord.

Speaker 5 It would, you know, we'd be building something.

Speaker 37 Yes, look at it.

Speaker 37 Let's do it.

Speaker 27 This is incredible.

Speaker 40 Power lines, satellite dishes, infrastructure, the micro brewery.

Speaker 16 Oh, oh, wow. Hey, we get we get reception again.
Nermit, hey, what's up, man?

Speaker 26 Oh, hey, Plaque. Hey, crew, I was just wondering, did you, did you find C-53?

Speaker 34 Did you rescue him?

Speaker 39 We rescued him.

Speaker 5 Hey, Nermit, I'm here.

Speaker 16 Get this, Nermit. This is nuts.

Speaker 8 Yeah, thanks for sending the crew.

Speaker 16 This is a planet where everyone just sings everything.

Speaker 37 Excuse me.

Speaker 63 Yeah, everything we talk about everything we do, we have to sing it.

Speaker 2 See you later, Nermit.

Speaker 26 No, wait, let's do the mission again, and I'll come along.

Speaker 15 We gotta go.

Speaker 34 We'll do the mission again.

Speaker 20 Bet Nermit wishes he was a little nicer to us earlier.

Speaker 2 Yeah.

Speaker 28 Yes, Mr. Robot Man, there was a lot of friction because we were all pretty surprised that you did did missions without us.
Yeah, AJ.

Speaker 28 Should I say that to our friends?

Speaker 7 No, I don't.

Speaker 27 I feel like at this point we've sort of covered that. Mr.

Speaker 29 Robot!

Speaker 23 You can't sustain it.

Speaker 2 This is great, man.

Speaker 13 Where have you done, Mr.

Speaker 49 Robot Man?

Speaker 49 We have backed it up.

Speaker 55 AJ,

Speaker 7 I never.

Speaker 20 That was my favorite one.

Speaker 30 Need more.

Speaker 14 Uh,

Speaker 16 you mean more singers?

Speaker 7 Bargie,

Speaker 62 Bargie, weren't you in a bunch of musicals at some point? Musical hollows?

Speaker 21 Yeah, it was a dark period of my life.

Speaker 45 I don't want to talk about it anymore.

Speaker 16 Yeah, Bargie, to be fair, you love it when we sing.

Speaker 40 I do.

Speaker 5 Bargie,

Speaker 8 we need that voice.

Speaker 5 We need that voice that's famous for the barge and away.

Speaker 63 Oh, I love that musical.

Speaker 17 Bargie's going away.

Speaker 17 Bargie's going away.

Speaker 17 She's going away.

Speaker 17 Cause she's Bargie.

Speaker 17 The sentient ship.

Speaker 17 A classic. Toot, toot, toot.

Speaker 21 A toot, toot toot.

Speaker 2 Wow, that was pretty good, Bargie. Oh, Whoa! That small ocean.

Speaker 2 Wow.

Speaker 60 Come on.

Speaker 5 No.

Speaker 5 Listen, Dar, I know you're not captain anymore, and that I was sort of made leave envoy almost arbitrarily.

Speaker 5 But

Speaker 5 you're still a member of this crew, and we need you

Speaker 16 arbitrarily.

Speaker 5 I mean, you know,

Speaker 5 I don't know why they would pick me over anyone else. I was in a toaster at the time.

Speaker 28 Feels like there's a lot of motion.

Speaker 15 Gotta let it out.

Speaker 20 So, you don't think you're hot stuff?

Speaker 39 Dar,

Speaker 5 I'm no better envoy than anyone else on this crew.

Speaker 23 This is a vamp. This is a classic vamp.

Speaker 5 Dar, I still needed to be rescued.

Speaker 13 If

Speaker 5 the crew hadn't come here,

Speaker 5 if you hadn't come here,

Speaker 35 I'd be all alone

Speaker 7 wondering when I could come home.

Speaker 29 Why did I leave

Speaker 13 when you are the ones I need?

Speaker 29 Dawn,

Speaker 29 Pleck,

Speaker 11 Neven AJ2

Speaker 32 C-53 still needs

Speaker 55 his crew

Speaker 53 A collection of pebbles in the sun

Speaker 13 And one pebble's clearly better than the other ones No, they're all just good pebbles

Speaker 53 pebble sent on its own because it's so much better than the other ones.

Speaker 2 Don't you see?

Speaker 35 We're all just pebbles on the shore.

Speaker 2 No need for one to be considered any more than the rest.

Speaker 43 But the others were sent to make them feel better.

Speaker 23 He's right. He's got a point.
Yeah,

Speaker 15 we did kind of sort of as a consolation press.

Speaker 36 Alright, alright.

Speaker 8 I still need all of you.

Speaker 5 I need all your help.

Speaker 2 One more.

Speaker 28 Dar, all we need is one note from you.

Speaker 25 Yeah, and not only can we save C-53, we can give Cheyenne and Jack their world back.

Speaker 13 So, will you do it?
