Chapter 53: Life During Wartime

But now it's time to put the cheese on the side of the bread. You can only have a piece of cheese, if you want. Cheese, cheese, cheese. Now it's time to put it on the side of the bread. It's time to put the cheese on the side of the bread.

It's time to put the cheese on the side of the bread.

How does it work from here to have to power that up more? It's all popping off in crypto testing out the gang is slowly getting back together so that they can finally take on crock. It is, in measure, but it's difficult to surprise Middocks and it's got a great big gun

“and it's also hoarding orbs for some reason, remember that one?”

Spears!

But the headline these days comes from Aida.

I realize she says that about everything, but this time she's talking about crock. Meanwhile, on the other side of the galaxy, Gloria and the Midnight Burger B team went hunting for murder beasts and what they discovered was neither murderous nor beastly. What? The data is telling me that this creature is a deeply augmented human.

How is that possible? Many changes have been made, but the base DNA sequence is that of an Earthling. Oh, these shit. Oh, my God. It's just another one of Crock's experiments.

“When are these insane space gods going to stop invading our story and ruining the vibe?”

I thought we were dinering. Where is Leaf again? Whatever, I'm sure he'll turn up eventually. Let's start the shift. You're cornered, they're right dead, round, and a part of them.

They're right dead, round, and a part of them, and they're right dead, round, and a part of them, and a part of them. Hey, Voon. Good evening, Gloria. Can't sleep. And Earth does not sleep in the conventional sense.

We have a recombin period where our mind consolidates the memories of the day and the more organized, long-term location in our mind, humans do the same, but for an Earth it does not require sleep, rather a period of intense meditation. Sleep sounds better to me. I have noticed this in Earthlings, many of you long for the period of the day when nothing

happens and you are not aware of your surroundings. That is true. And yet you are awake. You know, even though you don't sleep, you seem a little sleepless, Voon. I am wrestling with a dilemma.

What's up? Earthlings do not appear to be attached to their planet. I've observed in Fiona, the captain, and affinity for striking out into the stars and leaving your home behind.

“I think maybe you are observing the more adventurous Earthlings?”

There are plenty of us who like staying put. My old suit chef was like that. Caesar was born in Phoenix, lived there his whole life, and just fucking loved the place.

I personally don't know how you get really hyped up about Phoenix, but he never wanted

to go anywhere. I see. So I may be working from a skewed sample of Earthlings? Any Earthling who spends a lot of time here is going to be a nontifical Earthling, I think. And the Earthlings that wished remain in their place of origin.

I don't know really.

I'm not sure why people feel at home somewhere.

“I think they feel like they fit, like they're a missing piece of the puzzle, like they”

fell into place. I see. We are its love, our planet. Our civilization has been a shared project from its most ancient iteration, all of us with a single goal, knowledge above all.

It was only when we began to communicate with other worlds that we had to acquaint ourselves with concepts such as war and competition. And you had to leave. Yes. To be assigned the role of Sorcerer after your period of Enlightenment ascended is a great

honor and a tremendous responsibility, but it is a somber one. We are told, "Keep Earth within you." And I have. I'm sensing a but-coming phone. This creature that we have taken under our care, it has been greatly victimized, tortured,

“I believe that Fiona has as well, but Fiona has found a way to escape the victimization”

and have a life that I feel she is proud of, but this creature will never escape.

It is condemned. I know. I don't know what to do about it. To create technology that would do this to another being, it is the greatest of transgressions for us, it cannot stand.

I think you and me and all of our friends are trying to stop it right now, Moon. This army that we are facing, their armaments are considerable. We've been doing okay so far. Yes, but they are not designed for individual conflict. They're designed to overwhelm.

I believe if we have a face to them as a unified army, they would be unstoppable. That's not great. As I have said, I carry Earth within me. I carry with me the core values of our people, knowledge, curiosity, respect. I think those are good things to be working with.

“Have you and your travels ever had to sacrifice your values for reasons you found to be important?”

Well, I don't think I can think of something off the top of my head, but I'm sure I've had to. I think everyone does. I've been able to avoid such compromises thus far. And you're worried that you may have to compromise something you believe.

I am. Well, and I think it's important to know what you believe. It sounds like it's served you well, but there are very few things that are true no matter where you go. Very few things. As I have mentioned before, it is against our values to violate another being, including

their technologies that are an extension of their personhood. That being said, if I could forcibly access the systems of this oppressive regime that controls the Croptesia system, I believe I may be able to deactivate their technology. I can disarm them all of them. There's something humorous.

Oh, fucking hurts, man. All right, let's check out our new location and figure out how we're going to do this. Of course. Well, at least this is familiar. And reports that the nearby city has an approximate population of 80,000 with technological

levels equal to that of the late industrial early information age on Earth. What is that, like, late 70s, early 80s? Approximately. Okay. So, tell me about this plan of yours.

There's a high risk factor involved. It requires complicated scans of the enemy's technological environment, and will need to be in close proximity to one of the soldiers for an indeterminate amount of time. We need to kidnap one of them. No.

And taking one of them forcibly, there is the danger of them using their teleportation capabilities. I think it best that our maneuvers be clandestine in nature.

So, we're going to have to do some spy shit, basically.

Okay. Okay.

Let's go loop in the others.

Gloria. This is causey. Don't be alarmed.

“Remember that before we parted, I installed an implant in your head.”

Whoa. Hang on. Is everything all right? Causey. I'm sorry.

Hang on. Tita has briefed me on your arrival, and I believe we have your signal now. I'm sorry if this is overwhelming, but I have a large amount of information to give you. Please get something to life with. Oh shit.

Insight. Is something wrong? Who's got a pen? Gloria, what's wrong? Causey.

In my head. Oh shit. Pen. Oh, what's going on? Here.

Thank you. Here's the current state of things. Both Casper and Eva have returned to Criptesia. Great. Still no sign of life.

Damn Casper is with us now. Unfortunately, Eva has somehow wound up back in Crox Castle. God damn it. Eva! That's turned out to be for two at us because she was able to transmit a message to us.

The news is not good. Fantastic. He was about to fire this weapon, but then the targeting became confused.

“We believe that targeting was confused because of Casper.”

Casper apparently has on his person some sort of device that mimics the signal of the Diner. The Space Pager. They're unaware of the existence of this device. They think the air is on their end.

This seems to have bought us some time. Time is good. But we don't know how much time. Of course. This all means.

It is time for us to make our move on Crox. It is now or never. Oh shit. What? Cassey's making her move on Crox.

Oh, gosh. I hear you have an earth with you. That's excellent news. Write this down. One, zero, one, one, zero, zero, one, zero, one, one, zero, one, zero, one.

Give this code to the earth. Tell him to scan for a frequency with this identifier. One, zero, zero, one. Vood? Yes.

This code. She says to scan for a frequency with this identifier. One moment. Tell him to ask to be connected to high command. Ask to be connected to high command.

Man. I shall.

These next few days will be crucial.

On one side of the galaxy, I will be consolidating our forces for the assault on Crox Homeworld. While you will be distracting them on the other side. Greetings. I am Voon.

Sorcer ID5850 Trinary. Please connect me with high command. This is not at all how I wanted to do this. I needed more time. Luckily, with midnight burger involved, I have an answer to up my sleeve.

The earth has made contact, I'm switching over. Greetings, Sorcer. My name is Cosie. Thank you for making contact. Of course.

“Can you connect me with the rest of the group, please?”

I can. Could everyone activate your calm dots, please? My. What is the thing we put behind your ear? Oh, got it.

We are connected. Who am I speaking with? Cosie. It's me. Fiona.

Voon. And Phil. Hello, everyone. Fiona. I'm glad to see you're saying.

Back at you. As Gloria will tell you, we are in an urgent phase of the war right now. We are being forced to move before we are ready, but there is a plan. To buy us some time, we'll be running interference to keep the enemy confused. How are you running interference?

It's a plan that has unfortunately been named. Operation. Rodeo Cloud. Casper and David will be constantly moving around the system, sending the diner signal from as many places as possible.

They will do this using a very odd friend of his. Odd friend? They've insisted they stop by to say hello, but they'll only have a few seconds. What do you mean by stop by?

They'll arrive in the parking lot any second now.

The parking lot? I don't see anyone. There are no inbound ships. They won't be in a ship. What will they?

Whoa! Jesus, I'm still not used to it. Hey! Oh my God! Gloria!

Hey, hello! X! Oh my God! Okay, we can only stay a few seconds. Okay, I'm alive!

You're alive! Did you hear about Eva? Yes. I am going to kill her. I know.

David! Look at you! Did you space cowboy? How do you like the hue? What is it?

I have no idea. Hi guys, I'm X. Pardon me. Are you an android? Kind of.

May I scan you for relevant technologies? You can give it a shot. No time for scanning. We've got a go. Okay.

I love you. Okay. I'll see you after the war. I want to hear everything. Okay.

I'll see you after the war. We have to go. Okay. I can't believe this works. I know.

Okay. We're just going to criss-cross the system and try and stir up as much trouble as we can. You guys stay thin. Good luck. What the fuck was that?

Who was the girl? Those were my friends.

They fly around in a queue?

I guess they do now. Now that's done. This phase of the plan has gone into motion. There's nothing for you to do at the moment, but to stay safe. Now that you're connected to my network, I can keep you updated.

Actually, cosy. Voons working on something over here.

“I think we might need to risk going into a nearby city.”

Working on something? What are we working on? I think Voon may be able to give us an edge. Really? Tell me more.

I am uploading our proposed course of action to your network. Well, that's a nice change of pace. Nice to be working with someone so organized. I return your sentiment. I'll have a look at your proposal.

Gloria. Good luck. You too. What kind of trouble are we getting into? What are we even talking about?

Y'all. Voon has a plan. Hey, hey. Enough already. I'm not a carry-on.

You're always still some stupid in that mass.

You're always here. I bet you sound like Truman Capodion, are there? As-hats? Where's my cat? Good morning, Doctor.

“What's with the rough trade from the bone head brigade?”

You've been a bit too adventurous, and you're wondering about the castle. I'm a curious person. Is this thing on? Cousie?

Listen closely. It's all bullshit. Very rude of you to listen to my private phone calls. You're only here due to my benevolent doctor. That's not true.

Is it not? No. I'm here because you like me. I was enjoying your company until he decided to use my daughter as part of your machinations. Machinations?

Crock. Come on. Look around. This whole castle is the Super Bowl of machinations. I can't join in?

Enough. So, how did it happen? How did what happen?

“How did you go from being a space god to whatever it is you are now?”

Yes, I've figured it out. Every power you've exhibited thus far doesn't come from you. It comes from something invented by that brilliant daughter of yours you keep locked in the tower. You're so sure that's what occurred. Yes, Crock.

I am sure. You've seen very little to prove this theory of yours. How are you so confident? You're at war. I am.

If I had mastery over reality the way you claimed to, I wouldn't be at war with anyone. I'd already rule the whole fucking place. So why don't you? It's kind of funny when you think about it.

You display a little bit of power and you carry yourself with enough confidence and people will make all sorts of exaggerations about who you are. Look at all your little boy scouts running around this castle. They're all terrified of you. But in the end, you're not that much different from them, are you?

I am exceedingly different from them. And then I started thinking about gods, right? The idea of a god, someone who can shape reality with only the power of their will. And I have to say, the math just doesn't add up. Shaping reality to your will, that would cost a lot of energy.

And that energy has got to come from somewhere. All energy comes from somewhere. I'm just riffing in my head right now, but by my calculations, the energy required to shape reality to your will would actually be more energy than is contained in this universe.

I see. You think I'm a fraud. Not exactly. I don't think you're entirely full of shit. I think you were there at the beginning of the universe.

I believe that part.

I believe that at the beginning, you probably were as powerful as you say you are now.

But something happened. Something changed. And that made more sense to me.

losing energy over time.

Even Clementine had her limits.

“We saw that she was drawing energy from...”

It was Clementine, wasn't it? That's what did you in. You put everything you had left into her in the hopes that she would get rid of us all. How close am I?

This mind of mine is capable of a lot of things, Crock. One of those things. Cognitive dissonance. Holding two opposing ideas in my head at the same time. I am able to sit here at this table and say that you are a despotic shithead

“who deserves everything that's coming to you.”

I can also sit here at this table and say I kind of like you, Crock. You've got a dry sense of humor and you own a castle.

How about for the first time since the beginning of the universe,

you actually talk to someone? The more you love a thing, the less control you have over it. poetically, the more you love a thing, the more you want to control it. I had come to love this universe. And the more I grew to love it, the faster it slipped from my hands.

And in the far distance, I could see its imminent destruction. I wish to stop it. And my power to prevent that destruction waned with every moment that passed. So, you did all this.

There's a delightful little story from your planet.

A story of Adam and Eve, two innocence from which all of humanity spawned. When they ate of the tree of knowledge, your guard became angry and flung them from the garden. Which, I must say, is rather petulant. An entire garden that you expect people to not eat the fruit. But I digress.

Imagine in that garden there was not one forbidden tree, but two. The tree of knowledge and the tree of immortality. And if you ate of both, you would have both knowledge and immortality.

“What does it make you to have both knowledge and immortality?”

A God. Yes. Given a long enough timeline, immortality and knowledge leads you to Godhood. Though my power had faded over time, I still had immortality. And all I needed was a long enough timeline to return myself to the power I once had.

I just needed enough time. And there were a whole lot of diners and movie theaters and shitty bars swirling around the multiverse, speeding everything up. Correct. If I couldn't stop you, I wouldn't have enough time. So you create Clementine. With the last shred of power I had left, I created Clementine.

And she worked brilliantly again and again and again and again. Until a long came you and your friends. I am many things, Doctor. I have been cold, many things. But above all, I am simply a man that needs more time.

Crock. What is the easier thing to do? Spending all of this energy and creating all of this misery in the off-chance that you'll be able to save the universe?

I wish I was simply a despot, Doctor.

I wish I was the villain you see me as.

“I wish it was so simple. I truly wish it.”

I truly wish it was a simple matter of me coming to terms with mortality. But I'm afraid it's not so simple. There are worse things than I, out there in the darkness. Much worse things indeed. What things?

I've learned not to speak of them. I see.

A lot of people think that a scientist begins their life with curiosity.

That's not how I began my life. I began my life with an admission. I admitted to myself that there are very few things in life that I am in control of, but righteningly few things. Once I admitted that to myself, I was able to dedicate the rest of my life to figuring out why the fuck that is.

“Why am I given the power to observe the world but never affect it?”

It's been a good life. And it all began with that admission. The universe played a very dirty trick on you, Crock.

It convinced you that you could change it.

But it's even bigger than you. And you still won't admit it. The oligarchs blues. Due to your adventurous nature, I'll need to confine you to your quarters for the remainder of this conflict. Fine.

Where's my fucking cat? There's an old train, whining more the prairie to that old girl of mine. You better not run out of batteries. Casper? La Boosa?

Hi. Hey, kiddo. How are you doing? I'm okay.

“I was doing a lot of work with the Vistec and when I stopped to rest, everyone told me you were back.”

I'm back. I can't believe it. Said the woman who can predict the future? I'm a little preoccupied these days. Yeah, I heard.

If you told me you were hooked up to a bunch of tubes and shit. It's a constant vigil. I'm sure you can imagine how I feel about all that. Unfortunately, it's necessary. If you say so, that doesn't mean I'm going to like the idea.

They told me he would come back with a very interesting friend. She is very interesting, my friend. She's indestructible and she can travel through space in time. Okay. She was created by my ex-wife in another universe.

For a while, she was my enemy. But then, she spent several decades at the bottom of a river in Kentucky and now she's my dear friend. How do these things happen to you? I've been saying that for like 150 years. Where are you right now?

I'm on my ship. Can you get a whole ship just for you, huh? We have to dedicate an entire ship to the Vistec because of the power demands.

The booze you sound really tired.

I am. But it's not like someone else can do this. The Vistec has kept us out of a lot of trouble. Not all of the trouble, but a lot of it. You know, it's a props to you for making a terrifying machine that can predict the future.

“But honestly, I hate all of this for you.”

It's important work. The booze I don't care. You're a kid. Okay. Again, I am so much older than you.

I don't care about that either. Did you ever have a period of your life when you were a kid? Was I ever younger? Yes. I wasn't born at this age.

No, I mean, did you ever like shake up a can of Coke and then hand it to your friend? And they open it and it explodes and they're like, no, and you're like, ah.

No, I've never done that.

That sounds mean. Of course, it's mean. Kids are mean. Casper, I'm not sure what you're getting at. Where you ever a kid?

Ever.

“I imagine you were some sort of briny, aginius ever since you were a child, right?”

I suppose. Well, I guess I still see you as a kid because you were never allowed to be a kid. You never passed through it. I just want you to have a skateboard or something? A skateboard?

Yeah. Okay. I'll put it on the list of things to do after the war. Okay. Make that a long list.

Okay. How are you doing? Well, we are currently on one of the many earths in this galaxy and X and David are inside some dance club. A dance club? They insisted.

We're trying to jump every three hours. They wanted to stop for a minute and have some fun. Why aren't you inside the dance club? Oh, I think you know the answer to that question, La Bosa. But how are you doing?

I'm assuming you heard about Eva. I heard about Eva. Are you okay? I don't want to talk about it. She's given us a lot of really important information.

I'm sure that's true, but it doesn't matter because I don't want to talk about it. It was very brave of her. Luza? She didn't go there to be brave. She went there because she's...

Whatever the word is for her. It sounds like you're taking it personally. I can't possibly take it personally because I don't want to talk about on the Bosa. We were supposed to go on vacation. Vacation?

Yes. How would that work exactly? I don't know. Words were said. I don't want to talk about it.

Okay. We need to get through this war. Then I can go on vacation and you can be a kid. What's it like? Being a kid?

Being a kid is a time in your life when you do a lot of stupid things and date the wrong people. And maybe you crash a car or something.

And you will always look back on that period of your life and think, hey, thank God that's over.

“But even so it's still a tragedy when that part of your life is taken from you.”

Well, as you're sitting around the galaxy, see if you can find me a skateboard. I'm literally going to do that. Hello. Hey, over here. It's so much fun in there.

I'm glad you're enjoying yourself. Who are you talking to? Lobuz is calling me. Really? I want to say hi.

Go ahead. Hi. Oh my God. X don't scare people. It's fine.

Hi.

I'm Lobuz. Hi.

It's so great to meet you.

Cast pretty things about you all the time. Does he? Yes.

“Casper, did you tell her the thing about how you worry that she never had the chance to have a child?”

I did. Thank you. Are you sure? Yes, I'm sure. Would you get back here, please? You're freaking people out. Hang on. Listen. Now that we're back, everything's going to be fine.

This is going to be a piece of cake, okay? A piece of cake. You're leaving me vulnerable on the hostile alien planet. You're fine. It's not that hostile.

We were just at a dance club. Have you been to a dance club? They're so fun. X. Okay.

It's so great to meet you, Lobuz. You too. This room is wild, by the way. Okay. Bye. Okay.

I'm back. Relax. I feel so much safer. Anyway, that's X.

That was very disorientated.

You get used to it. I imagine we should hit the road. We need to keep moving on here. Okay. Take care of yourself, kiddo.

I'll see you at the victory party. Okay. Where's David? He's still inside. What's he doing in there?

“Uh, he's a young man in a dance club full of young people.”

You really want me to answer that question? Never mind. Oh. Mmm. Lobuz asked you about Eva and now you're a little cranky pierce.

I don't want to talk about it. And when I'm around, you don't have to. Get out of my head. You like it when I'm in there. No, I don't.

Just a little bit. Oh. You just had a thought. Yeah. Eva's at the castle.

Yeah. Where's zipping around the galaxy? Why not go get her? Why not go get her? Zipping, zip out.

It would take less than a minute. Yeah. No. No. Huh.

What? I can't go there. To Crocs Castle? Yeah. Why not?

I don't know. It's like it's not there. But it is there. I know. I can see it in your head.

What the fuck is that about? I don't know. Shit. Good guys about guys. Guys, I'm assuming.

Hey, guys. Welcome to the club. Can I see your IDs, please? Do not move or we'll be forced to shut you. Okay.

Did you hear that, X? Don't move. Got it. What the fuck heard it you? Holy shit.

Hello. Have you guys been skipping your oil changes? Big boo boo. What's happening? The ship is falling towards the warehouse.

“Can you-- can you drift over the closer to the river there?”

X? X? Oh. Well? Well, it's a shitty part of town.

It was probably abandoned, right? I hope you guys didn't leave any of your stuff in there.

I should never leave your vehicle unattended

without removing your personal belongings. Mm. Guys. Here's how this is going to work. She just destroyed your ship because she felt like it.

How do you think it's going to go if you try and shoot us? We run a diner. We run a diner. We run a diner. Fun?

Yeah. What's on fire? See what happens? You spend too much time in the Clareb and life passes you by. Some bad guys showed up and X did a whole thing.

These guys are cream paths. Huh? Sorry, I missed it. We should probably get going now. They know we're here.

All right. This place is dead anyway. It's the cheese. I know I can't see the crust like this. Let's take a few more shots.

Cheese. Cheese. Let's take a few more shots. Let's take a few more shots. Let's take a few more shots.

Let's take a few more shots. Let's take a few more shots. Hey, Cousie. We've got the plan in place. I'm making my way downtown to meet Phil.

You've located their base? Yeah. Apparently it's hidden underneath a subway? It's under a train? No, not not an actual subway.

It's a sandwich place called subway. That's confusing. What's the plan? I get into the back room. Block their communications.

Then Gloria moves in. Good. You seem to have brought a good group of people with you. Yeah, they're great.

I wanted to mention before we get too deep into this. Tita tells me that you've been gone for some time. Yeah. Eight years. I see.

After all this is over, I'd like to do some tests on you if you don't mind. Okay. We have a lot of people under our care like you Fiona. Their minds were altered and I've had to reverse the effects. You're the only one who's been living with these alterations for an extended period of time.

I'd like to see if there are any long-term effects. Yeah. Sure.

It's not the first time you've had to root around in my brain.

What's one more? Good. Let's make a point of it. Okay. Is that all you needed?

Yes. Just checking in. Anything else? Um... Fiona.

When I first got here, I was really scared. I didn't like being back here. That's understandable. And now I'm walking down the street and I'm... You're angry.

Yes. That's also understandable. Like I can feel it in my body. That's adrenaline. I'm surrounded by people right now.

All of them going to work, coming back from work. Across the street right now, there's a hair salon full of people getting their hair done. All of them are like me. All of them have been altered and fucked with to serve some purpose that has nothing to do with them.

It all has to do with one powerful man that they'll never meet.

This sort of scream at the top of my lungs. I want to shake every single one of them. That, however, would not be a mission critical act. That anger is important, Fiona. You should be thankful for it.

Should I? It means you're alive. Okay.

“That's what I do with the anger. What do I do with the fear?”

If you're dreading an approaching event, make plans for afterward. Really? Yes. That's all. Then the event you're dreading becomes one thing on a list.

Take away its power in your mind. So we're about to go to war with a space god, but that's okay because drinks after? Yes.

Wait, is that why you want to look at my brain after this is over?

You're just trying to make me feel better? No, Fiona. That was for me. Oh. Good luck.

Thank you. Okay. Gloria, I'm outside. Okay. I just wait here at the back. Yes.

Phil and I will do a thing and then I can get the door open. It's a pretty big steel door out back. Are you going to take his keys or something? No need. It's the type.

I'll be right there. Okay. So let me ask you this.

“How many meatballs do you put in the large meatballs of?”

Three. Aha. So if I ordered the six inch meatballs sandwich, what do you do with the other half of the sandwich? Well, we don't make the whole sandwich. We only make half of it.

And that's with 1.5 meatballs. Hmm. No. If it's a six inch, we just use two meatballs in sandwich. So what you're telling me is if I get two six inches instead of one foot long, then I get a hole of the meatball out of the equation.

Hmm. Yes, but we really don't want people to do that. Oh, my God. This fucking day. Can you help me?

I'm trying to find the train station and the map says to go down fifth street. And I did that. I went all the way down fifth street and I'm not seeing anything. I'm not even hearing. I got your rain.

Am I going the wrong way? Fifth street. It's in my backpack off. I've been carrying this thing around all over the city.

“I tried to read this guide on all the essential things to pack.”

And the guy who sold this thing to me was like, you can back away to work the stuff in this one bag. And I was like, great. That's the one for me. And now I'm three weeks into my trip. And I'm beginning to think that maybe one week for a guy is not the same as one week for a woman.

You know what I mean? Anyway, I am fucking lost. I think and I really need your help.

Man, there is no fifth street downtown.

But we don't have a fifth street. Excuse me. Look, it's right here on the map.

“Man, that's a map of New Haven, Connecticut.”

I know. This is Bloomington, Indiana. Wow. Hey. I have taken a wrong turn somewhere.

You think? I'm going to have to think about this. Guess so. Okay, can I order some food? I need to figure this out. I need. I see.

All right. I see how it is. What?

Black guy in a wheelchair doesn't exist in a subway, I guess.

I guess that's how it is. Sure. I'm so sorry. I didn't even think. Sure. Subway is racist.

Oh, my God. A black man doesn't exist in this truck. Oh, come on. Turns out racism is $5 and a foot mom. Okay, Gloria. Get ready.

Do you guys name your little schemes like Casper and Life do? Phil calls this one fear of a black sandwich. Nice. Okay, Peter. Skeleton key.

Skeleton key.

Okay. Boon. I'm in the back.

Excellent. Place the jamming device in the east wall in the back of the establishment. Okay. It's on. Very good.

They should sever any communications. They may have with their homeworld. Their hideout appears to be directly underneath where you are currently standing. Nice work, Peter. They're directly under us.

“Okay. There should be a secret stairway or something nearby, right?”

Okay. Gloria, do you have my M unit? I have your floating ball, though. Hold M above your head so that it may scan for anomalous technologies. Okay.

It's kind of complete. Gloria, on the far wall, there should be a calendar called 365 days of sandwich. I see it. There is a proximity lock behind that calendar. Hold into the calendar and the door should reveal itself.

Okay. Hello? Shit. I'm going to go run interference. Peter, sentry mode, sentry mode. Together round while I sing you a verna von Brown,

a man whose elegance is ruled by expedience. Call him a Nazi. He won't even frown. Nazi schmatzis is verna von Brown. I really don't have time to talk, boys.

I'm busy growing my hair long enough to reach Prince Charming all the way on the ground. Please take this animal. Come here, Carl. You know I can stay up here just fine,

but Carl's not going to stand for it. He will come to you in your sleep. We've been instructed to serve your princess. That's a violation of my civil rights. We don't know what that means.

Who does these days? Please stand aside. Fine. Don't say that he is hypocritical. Sir, are there that he is a political?

Once the rockets are up, who cares where they come down? Let's not my department says verna von Brown. What is this? It's a gravy boat.

What is important is to do that effect? That's fine.

“But before you do that, would you mind shoving it up your butt?”

Why would I? Never mind. Get the fuck out of my room before Carl eats you. You two may be a big hero. Once you've learned to count backwards to zero,

in German and English I know how to count down and I'm learning Chinese. Says verna von Brown. Homeworld, this is Bonto. Do you read me?

Homeworld, this is Bonto. On earth, one, two, two. Do you read me? What the hell? Homeworld, this is Bonto.

Please respond.

I'm glad you're looking for me.

Hi. Who are you? I'm Gloria. I think you're looking for me. Are you there?

Aren't you? You were that lady from the down there. That's me. What are you doing here? I'm here to surrender.

surrender. Yes. To me. To you. Why?

Does it matter? Is this a trap?

“How successful do you think you'll be with that question?”

Why would I tell you if this was a trap?

Stand over there. Okay. Don't touch that bush, you little monkey. Okay. Homeworld, this is Bonto.

Do you read me? Homeworld, this is Bonto, and are the one, two, two. Do you read me? Gloria, we have a good signal. I'm as working to analyze the technology.

We're main calm, and I will inform you with the process is complete. Your name is Bonto? How did you know that? You just said it into your communicated thing. Oh, yes, that's my name.

It's a fun name.

I don't think I'm supposed to talk to you.

Okay. Thing is, there doesn't seem to be anyone else here. Is it just you here? I can have more men here anytime I want. I'm sure.

How are you on this planet? Well, we tried to escape Crock's castle, and that landed me here.

“And honestly, I'm kind of useless on my own, so I figured I gave it a shot,”

and it didn't work out. May as well surrender. Big day for you, Bonto. You just captured somebody pretty important. I didn't actually do anything.

Well, we could keep that between us. Whatever heroic story you want to tell, I'll be sure and back you up. Why are you being so nice to me? I'm a nice person. You're the enemy.

Says who? Says everybody. How do they know? What do you actually know about me? I know that you're like us, but you come from far away,

and you're trying to destroy us. Why would we try and destroy you? I don't know. You want to stop us from succeeding. It's exceeding at what?

It's exceeding, I don't know. It's okay.

“Back on my planet, I never really know what our leaders are doing either.”

I know what we're doing. Okay, I do. I believe you. So is it really just you here? That sounds kind of lonely.

I'm fine. What do you do for fun? I watched TV. Oh yeah? What do you watch?

Whatever is on. What's your favorite? Alice. Alice? Alice?

Like with Mel's diner? Alice? Yeah. Okay. It's funny.

It is funny. I like it when the woman with a big hair says to kiss her grits. I like that too. What part of the body is the grit? Oh, it's not a body part.

Grits are ground up corn. Corn. Yeah, it's called a euphemism.

They work at a diner on Alice. They do.

“Why doesn't their diner attack people like yours, does?”

Bonto. Our diner doesn't attack people. Are people have been attacked there? Who attacked who, Bonto? Homeworld?

This is Bonto. Here on Earth, one, two, two, do you read me? Gloria. I've been able to access his weapon systems. I am quietly shutting down his defensive and defensive capabilities.

Would you like me to deactivate the force field? Give me some time. Boom. I shall. Hey, Bonto.

You're in a unique position right now. Here I am. I'm the enemy. You can ask me anything you want. Anything you want to know?

Do you know about square dancing? Square dancing? Square dancing? Sure.

I've never done it myself,

but I've done Elcavayo Dorado. Kind of the same thing. What is that?

“It's the stance that everyone does at parties.”

Anytime there's a birthday or a guinea da, they start playing the song and everybody has to dance to it. Why do they force you to dance? They don't force you to, but there's always somebody there at the party who will shame you into dancing. Everyone does this.

No. Not everyone. Just where I'm from. Where are you from? I'm from a place called Phoenix.

Phoenix. Yeah. Alice isn't Phoenix. Right, yeah, it is. Phoenix is real.

Phoenix is real.

On Alice, I've never seen them do this dance.

Right. Well, there are a lot of different types of people on my planet and different types of people do different types of things. We have different traditions.

That sounds confusing. It can be, sure. Meeting someone new. You never know what to expect, but that's part of the fun.

“Why is that fun for there to be so many different types of people?”

It's fun because when you spend time with someone who's different from you, it makes you see parts of yourself in a different light. You get to know yourself better when you see how other people live. Sometimes it makes you grateful for what you have. Sometimes it makes you realize you could have more.

Well, say it makes you realize that the world isn't just you. That the world is wide. And while you've been spending your whole life trying to find the right way to be, you talk to other people and you realize there is no right way to be.

There's a million different ways to be right.

But then in the middle of all this difference, you suddenly spot something familiar. Something that feels like you. So there you are looking at someone completely different from you. And you see yourself.

The world gets bigger and smaller at the same time. That I would like that. Banto, I want you to choose to do something for me. What?

I want you to put your gun down. I want you to turn off this force field. And I want you to commit some people who are very different from you. I think you need to. Who are they?

They're different. But they're just like you. Okay, I'm back.

I'm not confined to my room.

Let's find some consistency here on Mount Evil Crock. Explain this, please. Hey, no calling for help. That's cheating. I'm happy to see you're entertained.

Who is this woman? Well, that, Crock. Is a small preview of your future ass woman? Oh, really. Yes, I can't wait for you to meet her.

Who is she? Don't worry about it. Doctor?

“Hey, you lock me in the tower and then you expect me to help you?”

No way, dude.

I tried to help you this whole time.

I tried to help you give up this ridiculous plan of yours. But you won't listen to me. My work here is done. Help me by alerting your friends. My vulnerability.

Yes, but I think we can both agree that was for your own good. Enough, Doctor. Perhaps you are here to help. This is all that I needed. This little device you've been hiding from me is all.

Just think we'll need to make our weapon functional. The downfall of your friends was hiding in your pocket this entire time. Within the hour, midnight burger shall reach the end of its travels. Thank you for your assistance.

“Crock, do you know what a snow globe is?”

Do I want to know what it is? You do. It's a stupid little thing. It's a globe and it's got a little Statue of Liberty in there or something.

And some fake snow flakes and a bunch of water. You shake it up and it's a snow storm. Right? You can only fit so much water inside the snow globe. If you try to force more water into the snow globe

than the snow globe can handle, the snow globe will crack and shatter. You're with me, right? Unfortunately. Somehow, jazinka has figured out how to harvest energy from vacuum fluctuations.

“Adding more and more energy to the universe.”

More and more water being added to the snow globe. This universe that you're trying to save, you're going to destroy it with that big gun of yours. I don't believe the universe is so fragile. It doesn't matter what you believe.

Every time you fire that gun, you're running the risk of a cosmic imbalance, a cascading effect that could ripple through the universe destroying everything. Oh, convenient.

The weapon that will win this war for me is the one thing you wish me to avoid. Do you really think me so stupid? Let us speed this confrontation to its inexorable end showing. Here they are, new energy.

She's discovered a way to harvest it, contain it within these fears, and then weaponize it.

This will be how I am finally rid of you all.

The only thing that will be destroyed is any hope of your compatriots' success. You wish to communicate to my daughters the time a show of a man. The time no longer what I once was. How did you artfully put it?

It's all bullshit. I believed you described me as a star, once burning bright now fading into nothing. But there is another phase in the life of a star, is the doctor.

A star begins as a beacon in the darkness, and then later in life becomes the darkness itself. I may not have power on my own, but I am an excellent repository for it. With this new energy, I am reborn.

Ran, goodbye, Ran.

You have ever played your hand, doctor.

“Your warning has only led them into a trap.”

Now I will destroy the pool. [Music] Folks, it's the bottom of the ninth and the basis of loaded it. You can cut the tension with a ninth here in the stadium. Even most of the offseason in the stadium is completely abandoned.

Coming up to the plate of X. X comes to us from San Francisco. She was formerly a psychotic robot chasing me around the multiverse. And before that was literally just a pile of sand. It's a beautiful day here at whatever this stadium is.

X is in the baddest box now. She's got a steely looking around. Now here's the pitch. Aren't you supposed to throw this at me?

Well, I would but we accidentally crushed the pitcher's mound with the cue.

Also, he can't throw. There's also that. Just toss the ball up and swing away. Okay. Here's the pitch.

Oh, she really tapped to that one. It's going. It's still going. The ball is still going. It's not coming down. The ball is in space now.

That was fun. No athletics, please. I would get up there and put you to shame, but I'm busy doing the color commentary. Hey David, you know what I was thinking? What?

Filomena is kind of the closest thing I have to a mom. Which kind of means? Oh dear. That I'm kind of your sister. That's so terrifying.

Why? Yeah, why? Just because she can show up randomly at any moment without any respect to your personal space and start reading your mind?

I would never do that to you.

She's done that to me many, many times. You love it. My life happened to be in danger at the time, so I guess I do kind of love it. But hey, speaking of your mom, she says hello. My super genius mom?

Yes. Okay, it's so weird to think of her as the smartest woman on the planet. When the last time we spoke, I had to walk her through what an Instagram story was. I know. But I'm sure somewhere out there is the super genius version of me.

Ah, Casper, I've met millions of versions of you and none of them were super geniuses. Just saying. Completely uncalled for you.

“Hey, you should tell David about the art opening.”

Oh, yeah, so the other David was showing his stuff at a gallery opening in Baltimore. Oh, yeah. Pretty cool, right? I am just thriving in every timeline. That's true.

But hey, family meeting. How are you doing? Uh, what do you mean? I mean, you've been out here for a while. You had to leave everything behind.

How are you feeling? Good. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.

The ex was telling me you gave her a little speech one time about things having meaning. I did. Yeah. On the Ted Homeworld. Right.

Yes. Leave some.

“Which, by the way, where was this wisdom in my youth?”

I got none of that for me as a child. Okay. In my defense, I had several decades trapped in a diner to develop that wisdom. Anyway, thinking back on Los Angeles, so many people. Maybe most people walk around all day and nothing means anything.

There's no meaning to it at all. They don't have to be out here fighting evil or something. But there has to be meaning to it, right? Some sort of purpose. It can't just be making it to the next day.

I don't know, David. For some people making it to the next day is pretty fucking meaningful. It depends on who you are. Who you are is the person who needs something more than that. You need to go out there and face it.

That's who you are. That's how it's meaningful for you. But the longest time, making it to the end of today was a monumental feat for me.

it until it meant something.

“Not everybody has to fight crock the propagator.”

They just have to get out of bed in the morning. And that means a lot to them. Exactly. That right there. Where was that wisdom?

I just told you. Casper. What's up? We're detecting an imminent volley of energy from the home world. Is it the gun?

I thought they didn't know how to use the big gun. They must have figured something out. Change your location immediately. Let's go. Everybody into the queue.

Let's go. How much time do we have? We don't know yet. Where am I going?

Anyway, just put us in deep space.

Hang on. Okay. Cassey, we've changed locations. It hasn't fired yet. What do we do if it fires?

“If it fires it as we wait here for a minute and then move before it hits us.”

And if it doesn't fire at us, Cassey? He's fired the weapon. And? There's a single beam of massive energy headed for the diner.

Shit. I thought they couldn't do that. How much time do we have? Roughly a minute. Why do we have to warn them, Cassey?

I don't think I should do that, David. Why? There's no way for them to hide. This amount of energy being released. It'll destabilize the whole planet.

There's nowhere they could shelter themselves. We can't just sit here. I'm sorry, David. Dad. Come on.

Where's some of that wisdom I was talking about? Dad. Okay. You want wisdom? Yeah.

It's no good living your life as the person who watched it happen. Okay. Okay. Yeah.

“The cube is made of the same stuff you made of, right?”

Yes. How indestructible are you? I don't know. Put us in the path of a gun. Hang on.

Okay. Here it comes. Jesus Christ. Holy shit. Give me your hands.

I love you, guys. For me, I don't know if someone's here. I love you. I love you. I love you.

I love you. I love you. I love you. I love you. I love you.

Walk me and stand there. You keep us all in here. Walk me and call you and party. They owe the board of the way. Thanks for listening to Midnight Bird.

Be sure and tune in this time. Next month for Ward Ventures in the vastness. End of time and tide. Royal you too harshly. Or diurnal courses leave you with no safe havens.
