In short
The Midnight Burger crew regroups after a multiverse scatter, returns toward Cryptessia, and confronts Kroc’s “malevolent space god” plan to make an eternal universe. Along the way, they learn about the diner’s recurring “Earth-like” outposts across time and space, debate cosmic ethics (sacrificing a galaxy vs saving the universe), and investigate a “murder beast” creature that was engineered to be cannibalistic but has changed after encountering the diner.
Guest backgrounds
No podcast guests are present. The episode is a narrative episode with recurring characters (Gloria, Croc, Fiona, Voon, Ava, Leif, Casper, Leif’s group, Phil, Carl, Tita, Dita, Kazi, and others). Voon is an ERT (Emergency Response Team) who previously used a quantum bubble processor device. Fiona is a long-time diner proprietor who experienced years of time loss. Owen Sassido is quoted as a “scale farmer” from the Southern Stills.
Key claims
The diner appears across existence with core similarities (refreshment stations, chairs, “English” as lingua franca). Kroc can manipulate the universe but built an observatory-like machine anyway. The murder beast was first encountered when Gloria gave it coffee; it now eats sandwiches instead of humans/lesbians, implying the diner “changes” behavior.
Notable examples
Earth outpost “chada” (iced tea street stall in Hanoi); the “table seven” underside scratchings with many names; the Planck Epoch and recombination timeline shown via Kroc’s dome; the murder beast being subdued with coffee and later fed prosciutto/peppers and green apples sandwiches.

Please prepare for decontamination. For what? Ava is in Denmark.
1:58Life is wherever the hell he is. Rough crossing. How did I get here? The Muckle Waynes are in space.
2:08And of course, let's not forget about this. A dick in a box. Oh, hi. Welcome to the Caspar area. That's right, folks. Our heroes are spread across the multiverse like a little country croc spread across a really, really, really, really infinitely big piece of bread. What are they going to do now? Well, turns out everybody's taking the initiative. Gloria is asking Segeus. Casper is asking his ex-wife. Leif made a bomb. Eat shit, croc. And for whatever godforsaken reason, Ava decided to stick out her thumb and hitch a ride back to Kroc's Castle. You rang, Doctor? I'm not sure where we go from here, folks, but it's clear that all roads lead back to Cryptessia.
2:55Also, Fiona's here. My neural environment? Storytime's over, kids. Let's start the shift.
3:16This is Justin broadcasting on The Undersignal. I am talking to you at the end of a historic day here on CGS. Midnight Burger has returned to us and the party has been non-stop. Midnight Burger's relationship to this planet is a very important one. And today did nothing but solidify that relationship. As you may know, the planet's intense efforts to summon the diner to see just paid off in a very gratifying fashion when we were able to retrieve the mission data from the Vargin, the very first extrasolar mission undertaken by the original Coalition generations ago. That was the only surprise on board Midnight Burger when it landed.
3:57Inside the diner was an entirely different crew than the one we've come to know. Two Earthlings and an Earth Sorcerer. Now, I can't tell you much about the Earth. I'm told he was immediately whisked away by diplomatic services and put in contact with his home planet. But I do know that one of the Earthlings is a former Armed Forces pilot, and the other is a barista, an antiquated Earth profession who specializes in making caffeinated beverages. Okay. Okay. I'll have more on all that later, as I'm sure you can hear the countdown has begun. Glory is now back on board Midnight Burger and its 12 hours are up.
4:37It's hard to say right now how this day has affected everyone here on CGS. It's all happening too fast. But I will give you this quote from Owen Sassido. He's a scale farmer from the Southern Stills who came all the way to the capital just for this day. Nothing can change the fact that I'm a CGS, but I feel like this day made me more CGS than I was before. Oh, here it comes everyone. Wonder when we'll see it again.
5:44No party for my arrival? I attempted a party, did I not? The first time you arrived. Oh, right. Fool me once. I hate parties anyway. Thanks for letting me bring my cat. It's important for you to be comfortable. You won't be leaving again. Okay. Do I get a prison jumpsuit or anything? Ball and chain? You may wear a gorilla suit. It makes no difference to me. Croc, I feel like you're a little bit mad at me. It is immeasurably difficult to surprise me, Doctor. You must be insufferable on movie night. So you can imagine how shocked I was to see that a beacon was sounding all the way from Earth. And a few hundred years in the past at that.
6:37How did you manage to get my attention? Well, I had this thing that did this one particular thing, but then I thought, hey, why don't I take this thing and do this other thing with it? That sounds hardly scientific. I've decided to abandon science. I'm getting really into crystals lately. How are you here, Doctor? Don't worry about it, Croc. I'm here because I'm magical. I'm here because I decided to be. What do you want? A bunch of math? You don't seem like a math guy. You chose to be here? Yes. After all that you went through to leave? Yes. Why? Maybe I wanted to be here. But nobody forces me to do anything.
7:34I left so I could choose to come back. You risked your life for a bit of agency. Honestly, I risked my life because I was curious about what would happen if I risked my life. And if it killed you? Honestly, I was a little curious about that, too.
7:57You're unlike your compatriots. Am I? They appear to be supremely fixated on rather Byzantine concepts of right and wrong. You don't seem bound by such things. I'm bound by the usual things. Time, gravity, coffee. Can I get some coffee in here, by the way? I've been in Renaissance Denmark and Europe without caffeine. It's a dark, dark place. Of course.
8:35Wow, look at that. So they just drop out of the sky with whatever I want? Within reason. Got it. Can I get some pool floaties and nine Dixie cups, please? Why in the world would you ask for those things? You said within reason. That's within reason? Depends on the situation. Thanks, Bosco. You can hold off on the Dixie cups and pool floaties, but I will be needing a tailored cigarette or five as soon as humanly possible. Also, any clothing that doesn't involve a goddamn corset, please.
9:14Oh, yes. That'll do just fine. One might feel you've returned here simply for the coffee. Well, I certainly wasn't going to wait a hundred years for Europe to figure it out. Should I assume your fellow agitators have survived the crossing as well? How would I know?
9:44Problems with the plumbing? I hear that's common in old places like this. Speaking of agitators, I have a small number in the kingdom. So Kazi didn't obediently slink off to another system, then? She did not. She's a rebel to the end. She's assembled an ineffectual little band of merry men and is attempting to fight me from the shadows. Kids, am I right? They'll be done away with soon enough. It's a shame. She's quite brilliant. She would be a treasured asset to my efforts here. Your efforts. I've been thinking about your efforts ever since I left. Have you? Yes. And? I still think they're real dumb, Croc.
10:33Oh? Enlighten me. Circling back to it. But you want to take an entropic universe and turn it into a recursive one. You want to take a universe that constantly careens toward its own ending and make it last forever. That's correct. Why, though? Don't you protect the things you love? No. No? No. Why? Because you can't protect anything. Everything dies. In your life, there is nothing you've moved to protect? Not that comes to mind. I see. The universe is not the same for me. How so? For one such as you, your life is a game you've been placed within. and your life consists of learning the rules of this game as you play it.
11:39That's not bad. The universe is not so rigid for me. It is a thing to be manipulated. And if I can manipulate it, the question then becomes, what is the world I wish to make? Okay. I'm skeptical. I'd expect nothing less. You came all the way back here to tell me that. No. Then why? Secrets of the universe, Kroc. What of them? You have them. Gimme.
12:18Dinner's at seven. Okay. I'd like the chicken nuggets, please. The ones shaped like little dinosaurs. Whatever you like. Excellent. Carl? Goddammit, where did you go?
12:46Greetings, Sorcerer. Your data has been logged and is currently under review. Please rest assured that your endeavors will greatly enrich ours. I have been informed that you have not had interaction with the home world since being assigned to your terminal mission. I wish to expand upon your understanding. Coming up. As you are aware, there is no reassignment from a terminal mission. It is meant to be a mission that continues throughout your entire lifespan. Your terminal mission distinguishes itself from others in that it is classified 0.3. There are only three sorcerers in our current temporal locus to have been assigned to a zero terminal mission.
13:27Please be aware of your importance to your planet and to our mission. Knowledge above all. Moon, how you doing? Good evening, Captain. Who's that? I was reviewing a message from the High Curator on Earth. Is that like the President? We do not have a centralized leader as you do on Earth. Rather, we have three councils. Curation, Invention, and Integration. My immediate council is the Council of Curation. So what's the news? There is less than I was expecting. It appears that the mission I have been tasked with has only been undertaken by two other Earths in our history. That sounds pretty top secret.
14:02I had suspected as much. So it's all about places like the diner? Yes. As I had previously surmised, there is an elusive relationship between my planet and places such as Midnight Burger, but that relationship is unknown. There was an Earth presence here at the diner before my arrival, as indicated by the Earth door in the deep freeze, and according to Fiona, there are many places like the diner throughout existence. But we have yet to encounter another, so it has been difficult to develop a theory. Now, however, I have received sparse accounts from my homeworld. Let me show you. M. Display new packet imagery, media only.
14:38As you can see, there have been reports from others with my same assignment. These are dispatches from other places like the diner. We have here what appears to be a designated stop for rail-guided locomotion. That's a train station. Also an establishment which appears to belong to an earthling named Tim Horton. Sure. But this one is curious. There appears to be no actual structure involved, but there is a refreshment station and small chairs made of plastic material. That's chada. Please explain. It was after the war. Old folks in Hanoi started selling iced tea on the street. Chada. Iced tea.
15:15It turned into the place everybody crossed paths. Guys would park their mopeds there, some old dudes would play a chess game, and it all revolved around some old lady selling iced tea and crackers. These places, they all seem to be wildly different with only core similarities. So why would your people start building things in these places? Why did I? I built a lift so that you may come to the roof. I imagine they built things because... Because it's what we do. We cannot help ourselves. You're looking a little overwhelmed, Foon. There is much to process. Why don't you come downstairs for a while?
15:53Come meet our new passenger. She's got lots of stories to tell about this place. Maybe it'll shed some light. Yes, of course.
16:07Fiona. Yeah. Eight years. Yeah. Oh my God. I would stop noticing for a while. But every year, Peter would come along and remind me how much time had passed. Are you okay? I'm okay. I went through years wondering what all of it was for, but then every day the doors open and there was a lot to distract me from that feeling. But then the guys came along and others and it kind of became my life. How long was it for you? Just a few months. Damn. Time travel. I'm so sorry. No, it's fine, really. I... Everything in my head was a lie. It was something that was put there. But then I spent eight years here and...
17:06That was mine. That was eight years of my life I had just lived. I had to say it, but I needed it. And it was like... It was like it knew that. Yeah. Do you know what I mean? Yeah. Does it? Is the diner alive? I don't know. I mean, every once in a while, I feel like it's watching me. Every once in a while, it listens to me. Maybe not alive the way we think of it, but not not alive. I'm so glad you're back. Good. Are you glad you're back? Am I? I saw that guy. What was his name? Brody. That was a pretty steamy goodbye you two had. Yeah. He's great. But we've both got things to do. He has dreams of repopulating Earth with Scottish people, and I am not the candidate for that particular position.
18:23Speaking of having things to do. Yeah. We're probably heading back to Cryptessia now, aren't we? I don't know. Leif, Casper, and Ava are still out there somewhere. So we're either finding them or we're going back in. I haven't been back. This whole time? I don't think so. I know we're going back eventually. This thing doesn't leave unfinished business. When we got on Clementine's trail, it did not let up until we got her. What do we do when we land in Cryptessia and there's a whole army waiting for us? Improvise? Yeah. You know, the first year here was pretty terrifying. it was just me and Peter and I didn't know what was coming through the door then it started to get easier some other people showed up and a couple of years ago I looked around and kind of felt like wait am I good at this am I doing okay and then as soon as we started talking about cryptessia I went back to year one again I know I mean, aren't we essentially trying to fight God?
19:39How do we win this exactly? I don't know, Fiona. What I do know is that we're not going to be able to do anything with all of us spread to the four winds. We've got to get back together or we're screwed. Okay. Fiona, look at you. You're doing amazing. Most people would have hopped off at the first safe place. Yeah. Some people did. All right, y 'all. I have convinced Voon to come down from the roof. There you are. Voon, are you doing okay? Oh, yes, Fiona. Please forgive my antisocial behavior. I had much data to review from my homeworld. Anything fun? It was supplemental for the most part. More information supporting that which we already know.
20:25So, Gloria, Voon is an ERT. Really? He came on board a long time ago. He's been a big help. No, I know a guy who's a big fan of your planet. Yes, Fiona has told me of your colleague's affection for my planet in our endeavors. It is very complimentary. It's not just him. Some sort of device from your planet got us out of a very sticky situation one time. Remember I told you about that brunch planet? Oh, right. Yes, I have been debriefed about this device. It's fascinating. A quantum bubble processor. During my enlightenment phase, such things were only a theory. Damn, I wish Leif was here. I hope all that stuff on the roof has been helpful.
21:07It would be, but you won't touch it. Why not? Leif used it all the time. Because Voon is a man of principles. Aren't you, Voon? There are several levels of aggressive security measures in your colleague's systems, but even if there were not, it is against my core principles. Hertz believe technology is an extension of the self. To violate that technology without express informed consent would be immoral. And he believes it so strongly that he got shrunk down to the size of a Ken doll one time. What? It's true. I became trapped in a diminuator. It shrunk you? The effect was temporary. He rode around on my shoulder for two weeks like a cockatoo.
21:45Oh my god. Okay, but seriously though, Pocket Voon was adorable. The shift in perspective was illuminating. It was how we discovered the inscriptions under the table. The what? That's right. Did you not know about this? No. It's table seven, right? Table seven. Check it out. It looks like when people decide to leave, they scratch their name into the underside of this table. Look. There's so many names. Casper wasn't the first one here. The Thigronis told me about Marissa and Cody McClure, but look at all those names. Lily Sterling. Emmett Hale. Fernandez Campbell. Who knows how many times this place has changed hands.
22:25Wow.
22:30Looks like it's time to go to work Peter, zone defense Zone defense Do you guys have any way of knowing where you are? Yeah, Voon, can you do a sky scan? Of course One moment
22:44Looks like a regular old forest to me It looks... I'm going to go out there Are you sure? Yeah, I need to get a closer look We'll come with you
22:58Does any of this look familiar to you guys? It just looks like a forest Could be anywhere
23:09It is as we expected We are on an uncharted planet in the Cryptessia galaxy Is that where we want to be or where we don't want to be? Both It's weird I feel like What?
23:30I've been here before. More ranch dressing!
23:38Thanks, Bosco. Uh, you're not eating. Must I? Hmm. That's a good question, actually. Do you eat? I've eaten. But do you need to? See, these are the questions nobody asks about malevolent space gods. How do they bend the laws of physics? Sure, that's important. But also, what do they have for breakfast in the morning? Playing into your idea of me as a malevolent space god, when I rise in the morning, I should... What? Eat an entire planet? Crack it like an egg? Ooh. Can you do that? The answer is no. No? What kind of malevolent space god can't crack a planet open? No. I don't eat breakfast. Well, you should.
24:30It's the most important meal of the day, Kroc. Maybe you wouldn't be so malevolent. Why malevolent? Why malevolent? Yes. Seriously? Yes. Well, you've enslaved trillions of people on hundreds of planets All in the service of something greater Something greater? I'll generously call that debatable Then let us debate
Read the full transcript
25:07Okay, sure Second part first All right Let us assume for a moment that my cause is just. Assume that my dream of an eternal universe is an enviable goal. If you insist. If the entirety of the universe is at stake, is it not worth sacrificing one small galaxy to save it? The trolley problem, Kroc? Seriously? I'm sorry if this debate is beneath you, Doctor. Please, indulge me. Okay. Do I sacrifice one galaxy to save the universe? Yes. No. Really? Really. Explain. If it's meant to die, let it die. Meant to? Yes. But you have the power to stop it. Not all have this power, but you have. You must abandon passivity.
26:11You are, as a scientist, an observer. You observe and discern the intricacies of the universe, but in this little theoretical universe of ours, you are no longer the observer. You are given the power to change the course of the heavens. You are given the choice. So now, you must choose. If it's meant to die, let it die. So you watch as everything cascades into nothingness? Yes. Why? So I can watch. Why? Crocs, I think you and I have the same problem. Have we? Yes. And what is that? Bariogenesis. I beg your pardon? You stood there at the beginning of the universe and you watched it take shape, right?
27:11That's what you told us. I was there. That shouldn't have happened. The beginning of the universe shouldn't have been the beginning of anything. Matter and antimatter should have collided, destroyed each other, and been reduced to photons. The universe should have been an ocean of light. No Ava, no crock, no dinosaur-shaped chicken nuggets. But instead, for every one billion particles of antimatter, there was one billion and one particles of matter. And from that tiny discrepancy came you and me and the nuggets. Why?
28:04I'm unsure. Right. For someone as powerful as you, that's really got to burn, right? Most scientists on Earth, they have to sit there on Earth and theorize about black holes and how they work. But you, you can just go there. If you want to observe quantum particles, you can just shrink yourself down into a teeny tiny crock and observe them. The universe is always at your fingertips. But this is one thing you can't know. Why is there something instead of nothing?
28:49It is elusive to me, yes. The only way to learn something like that is to observe the universe as it was, as it has become, and as it will be. And if I'm suddenly Ava the malevolent space god and I start messing with the cosmic plumbing, I'm never going to get the answers I'm looking for. You're building a casino on top of my excavation site, Kroc. You should stop messing with things. How can I observe the universe when you're out here fucking it up? You're not upset that I've enslaved trillions of people. You're upset that I've ruined your research. They're the same thing. And if they weren't?
29:35Kroc, I like to save my theoretical energy for my physics, not for trying to figure out why you decided to be the multiverse's biggest shithead.
29:50What's funny? I'm surrounded by sycophants. Oh, I see. Not a lot of people calling you a shithead? There are not. I've got plenty worse I could call you. You want me to go for it? I can use my imagination. Allow me to apologize. Apologize? I'm ruining your life's work with my actions here. You are. And I apologize. How may I heal this rift between us?
30:34Pencils. Writing implements? Yes. Very well. Anything else? Yes. Name it. You were there at the beginning of the universe. I was. Tell me what you saw. I'll improve upon that. Oh, yeah? I shall take you there.
31:16You called it the murder beast? Yeah, but don't worry. Don't worry about the murder beast? It's fine. How? That was just what we called it. It wasn't the most accurate name in the world. Good. That's just how it looks. So it looks like a murder beast, but it's actually what? We never really found out. It's kind of dark. It was some creature that was engineered to be cannibalistic. Whoa. Yeah. Apparently it could only eat its own kind. That's how it had to live. Gross. When was this? It was my first shift. Ever? Yeah. What did you do? I, uh, I gave it a cup of coffee. You did? I didn't know what else to do.
32:11It eventually left after that. Okay. Why are we looking for it? I, uh, I don't know. My heart really went out to it. I want to see if it's okay. Wait, so your very first shift was here? In Cryptessia? Shit, I didn't even think about that. We had no way of knowing at the time. It was a long time ago. Yeah, but Gloria, you guys could have been here yesterday. Shit, that's right. Fucking time travel. Right. Phil, are you seeing anything? I'm up on the roof, and I'm not seeing anything. What exactly is the plan here, y 'all? Yeah, I don't really know. If I may, from a data-driven standpoint, it would be useful to me to study an organism after it has encountered the diner.
33:03It is rare that we return to a planet other than Thegreon. I would enjoy the opportunity to compare these cases. All right. Something tells me a murder beast is not going to be as personable as the Thigronis. It won't be, but I promise once you get past the terrifying appearance and the mouthful of teeth, it's just like a little puppy dog. It's alright. Not the first time we've been on a bug hunt. A bug hunt? That's what Phil calls it every time a shift involves a problematic creature of some kind. Remember the enigmatic cat bird? Oh god, don't remind me. He assisted an ornithologist to find a bird whose population had been reduced to one.
33:41In acres of thorny bushes. Fiona came back looking like a scratching post. And after all that, Phil found it with his goddamn binoculars. Work smart, not hard, y 'all. Goddamn, I miss those days. I'd love to just be looking for someone's missing bird right now. Wait a minute, did I ever have those days? Gloria, may I ask you a question about your time as the diner's proprietor? Yeah, sure. In this particular case, of this unclassified creature, a language barrier was obvious. That aside, how often was a linguistic barrier an issue in the operation of the diner? Linguistic barrier? Um, not very often.
34:23Interesting. We have had the same experience. Isn't the reason why everyone speaks English because they like our movies or something? It's true. Due to the triad's affinity for your arts and culture, your planet's dominant language has become a lingua franca for its three galaxies. That is, however, three galaxies in a universe with a conservative estimate of two trillion galaxies. I guess I never had time to think about it. Is it only traveling to places that speak English? It's unclear. But it is possible that, like any ship, its cargo is considered before charting a course. Weird. It is truly odd.
35:00Guess your homeworld gave you a pretty strange gig, didn't they? In my last debrief with the homeworld, I was told that only two other Earths in history have been given this assignment. In history? It is very rare. I guess they must really trust you. I'm afraid it was not a merit-based assignment. I simply happened to be in the right place at the right time. I had only recently left my enlightenment stage before I encountered the diner at a space station. I don't think any of us were ready for it, so don't feel bad. Except maybe Ava. Ava is the scientist who traveled with you? Yeah, she had figured out some sort of way to find this place.
35:35She had. Yeah, she's got all kinds of brains going on in her head. I would very much like to speak with her. Me too, Voen. Ava's an acquired taste, but I miss my friends. Her notational diaries were left behind, but they are in an unknown language. Oh, right. Well, with any luck, she can tell you about it herself. Hey, speaking of language, you just reminded me of something. The first time we met this creature, there actually wasn't a language barrier. There wasn't? No. It could understand me. The creature could understand your language? Yeah. Curious. Oh, shit. Fiona? Something's coming. Oh, shit.
36:18Should we freak out about this or not? Fiona, you're going to be fine. Like I said, it's super terrifying to look at, but it's not going to hurt you. Horror movies aren't going to hurt me either, but I still really freak out. Fiona, you ran through fire one time. Remember that? Boom. Remember when she ran through fire? I had to reconstruct your shoes, Fiona. This is different. It's the anticipation. I have time to be scared, so I'm scared. Do you want us to distract you with a brain teaser? Oh, shit. Up. Here it comes.
36:55Oh my god! What? Fiona, what are you seeing? Who is this little guy? Let me guess, it looks like a cross between a pig and a panda? It totally does What is it? It's a... We just call it the pig panda Hello little man Peter, look at this guy Gloria What's up? Stay completely still We are being targeted with a weapon Oh, shit Turn around nice and slow, Ert And don't put that floating ball of yours in the air I'll shoot it down Tita?
37:43Gloria? What? Hi Holy shit. You're alive. Holy shit. You're alive. What is going on? We have a visitor. It's Dita.

40:15Here it is. Are there any small rooms in this castle? There are not. What is this place? Think of it as an observatory. But rather than remaining fixed on the ground, it will take you wherever you would like to go. From here, you may observe any point in all of existence. At any point in time. That's impressive. Thank you. You built this? Of course I built it. Nice work. And where are we off to? Like I said, the beginning. Very well.
41:16The End
41:37Before that, we find ourselves here. Nothing. All of existence compressed to less than the size of an electron. We would observe it, but light does not yet exist. The idea of observation does not yet exist. Nice. This is where you're from? It is. Without time or space, you were conscious? Yes What is that like?
42:15I couldn't tell you Existing without time or space is a concept that cannot be brought into this world But there you were Yes Your entire existence was contained in ten to the negative forty-third seconds. Yes. But without time as a concept, that means nothing. Your people have a name for this. The Planck Epoch. It was a period of time so small you almost can't measure it. And yet, for me, it was an eternity. Keep going.
43:26Here we go. I don't have the same words for this as your race. How would you describe what we're seeing? The universe is expanding and cooling. Quarks are binding into protons and neutrons, and then those fuse into the first nuclei. Hydrogen, helium, maybe a little bit of lithium. But the universe is an opaque, blindingly hot plasma. Photons can't travel more than a tiny distance before being absorbed and re-emitted. It looks like I thought it would. The surface of a star in every direction. The temperature is tens of millions of Kelvin. It all happens in a few minutes. And then? Fast forward to about 400 ,000 years.
44:23Very well.
44:35There it is. What do you see? Recombination. Electrons bond to nuclei, the fog clears, photons are streaming freely. This is the first time the universe could be observed. We're radiating at a frosty 3 ,000 Kelvin. Everything is reddish-orange. This will cool over billions of years, leaving behind the cosmic microwave background. But first... We go back to the darkness. For hundreds of millions of years, the cosmic dark ages. the universe would go from a uniform glowing ember to absolute blackness in every direction. And then slowly...
45:37Individual points of blue-white light flicker on. Clustered in filaments and sheets, like a city returning from a blackout And the rest is fairly predictable You have now observed what I have observed
46:06What's happening now? You're observing my first act As I watched the stars form in the darkness, I tried my hand at it. It was a poor effort. Rather than compressing matter into a star, I managed to form a simple rock in the void. It was not as splendid as the stars, but it was mine. I stood upon it as I watched the universe. Lonely crock on a rock looking at the stars. There's a song in there somewhere.
46:42So, you went from being Le Petit Prince standing on a planet to all of this malevolent space god bullshit. I'm afraid so. How does that happen? I watched the universe create itself. It felt as though it belonged to me. It became something I had to protect from destruction. How can you not see how inevitable that is? You see it as inevitable because of the nature of your existence You and all the other creatures in the universe You are born dying Death is inevitable For someone like me Born before time, untouched by time Death seems an inconvenience An inconvenience baked into every aspect of the universe.
47:37Every aspect, save my aspect. What is to become of me when the universe fades into oblivion? Jesus Christ, Croc. Don't tell me you're doing all of this because you're scared of being alone. I fear nothing. Bullshit. Oh, yes? You live in a massive fortress with a huge gun on the top of it. You're surrounded by an army. You fear nothing? Hmm. You know, usually when engineers talk, I don't listen. Because, well, because who cares? But I was sitting there on the diner and I heard something interesting. Those little time travel squirt guns you give all your little mystery men? It's kind of a weird choice, right?
48:26They're very effective. Are they? We've offed quite a few of your guys at this point. Something more conventional like your average laser gun or plasma thingy would actually be a lot more effective against us. But you use the time guns. It's almost as if... I mean, I'm no engineer, thank God. but it's almost as if you want your men armed with weapons that work not very well against something that can die, but work very well against something that can't. Because if something couldn't die, the best thing you could do would be to fling it to the other side of the multiverse, right? I'm just spitballing here.
49:15I'm no engineer. Thank God.
49:20We have the rest of your life together, Doctor. Let's not waste the connection we've already made. You're scared shitless, aren't you? Grant me a favor. Stay here for a while. Stay here on this lonely little planet I made for myself all those ages ago. and attempt to see it all through my eyes. I promise it will enlighten you. You promise, huh? I do. Okay. I'm gonna need some more coffee. Whatever you like.
50:07Last chance to level with me, Kroc. I fear nothing.
50:19So, this planet's listed as having humans on it, but we can't see anything from long-range scans. So, Kazi sent me over here to make sure we weren't missing anything. I've been humping my ass through the trees for days now, and I don't see anything. I don't know what the deal is. So, you guys left and just turned back around and went to war with Kroc? Pretty much. I thought it was a stupid move, but it's actually going okay. We touch down on a planet, drive out whatever unfriendlies are there, take their ships, and then we fix everybody's brain. Turns out when you tell Earthlings they've been duped by the bad guys, a lot of them want to sign up for war.
51:04You guys are crazy. How many planets have you freed? I don't know. A hundred at this point? That's great. So? You're alive. I'm alive. Cool. Not sure how that helps us, but, you know, welcome back. Has anyone seen any sign of the others? No, nothing. Honestly, I figured you guys were dead. I thought we were holding out hope just to make David feel better. How is David? Good. His aim's getting better. I mean, how is he emotionally? Oh, I have no idea. This place looks different. Yeah, Fiona's made some changes. Used to be the smell of tacos. Now it's the smell of Fiona's grilled cheese sandwiches.
51:52Excuse me. What's up? May I scan your person for relevant technologies? Yeah, fine. Don't touch my gun. Of course. Friggin' Ertz. They're always scanning everything. Where'd he come from? Fiona picked up some friends along the way. She's actually been gone a really long time. Apparently, it's been eight years. Eight years? Jesus. She kept it running, though. Yeah, she's a trooper. Fiona, how's your head? Um, it's fine. Thank you for asking. And there's a guy on the roof? Yeah, that's Phil. Hang on. Hey, Phil. Are you seeing anything up there? Nope, I am not seeing anything. Okay. Fiona's baking sandwiches.
52:37Do you want to come down? It'd be right there. So, what is Kazi's plan exactly? Is she really trying to take down Croc? Oh yeah, she is pissed. She'd never admit it, but she spent most of her life studying the guy. She really admired him. Now, it turns out he's King Shithead. She's either going to kill him or he's going to kill her. Can she really piece together enough of an army to do that? I don't know. The thing with guerrilla warfare, As soon as you get up enough troop density, you're facing a pretty big reaction from the powers that be. That's coming any time now from Kroc. We'll see if we can survive that.
53:21I was just about to head back to it when you guys showed up. Hey, when you were out there in the forest, did you see anything? There's no humans out there. Anything else? Like what? Like a, well, like a really gross-looking thing with a big mouthful of teeth? Oh, yeah, I saw one of those. You did? Yeah, gnarly looking. Do you think you can find it again? Probably. Its tracks are all over the place. Okay, I need a favor before you go. What's up?
54:01No monsters yet. Okay. Need any help? Nope.
54:11Everything okay? Uh-huh. Okay, so we've been working together for a while. Uh-huh. Which means that when something's wrong, I can kind of tell. It's fine. It's fine. It's fine? My first crush just walked in the door, and it's fine. First crush? Yeah. The huge orange woman with ram's horns was your first crush? It was a long time ago. Okay. Aim high. Aim high? What does that mean, aim high? Fiona, you realize that is far too much woman for you. Right? No, it's not. Also, it doesn't matter. Also, mind your business. I know what's going on. I know what's going on. Let me tell you what's going on.
55:07I'm going to deliberately burn your sandwich. You have been going through, respectfully, a bit of a dry spell. I'm not prepared to discuss this with you. A bit of a dry spell. Do you have any idea how hard it is to find a quality woman when I'm going to vanish in 12 hours? We're a long-term relationship people, Phil. A bit of a dry spell? It's a historic drought, Phil. And that has been highlighted by the fact that ground zero for your sexual awakening has just walked in the door. You seem to think that saying this out loud is helping. But it is not helping, Phil. We should get this out in the open.
55:42I don't want it out in the open. I want to lock it away forever and throw it in the ocean. Hello. Are we once again discussing Fiona's lack of sexual stimulation? Yep. Hey. What do you mean once again? It's come up. No, it hasn't. It has been a topic of discussion 17 times in the past 30 days. Boone, stop counting everything. I feel like I should apologize at this point because it doesn't help that I have been doing very well out there. Don't remind me. It doesn't help that I am the transdimensional delivery man. How do you just give yourself nicknames? I've explained to you why this is. This is just cruelty now.
56:14Why is it, Boone? Because of your levels of game, Captain. Game, Fiona. Boone, what is Fiona's current level of game? Based on your metric, Captain, Fiona currently has a game rating of zero. No game. No game, Fiona. Can I explain to the two of you what friends are supposed to do? Be honest, I thought. Honesty is an important cornerstone of friendship. This isn't honesty. This is you making fun of me. What friends do is they should push all the bullshit out of the way and get down to what's really going on. That's what you're doing. Yes, because what's really going on has nothing to do with a fine woman in the dining room or the fact that you can't get some lately.
56:54That's not what's really going on. What's really going on?
57:04I'm scared. There we go. Can you share your feelings with us, Fiona? This is where it all started for me. This galaxy. We've been in a lot of scary situations, I know. I haven't really been able to shake this one. The work's been able to distract me, but now... Your feelings are real and appropriate, Fiona. We have returned to the epicenter of your trauma. It is not uncommon to feel as though no time has passed, that you are once again a pawn and a victim of malicious actors. It's starting to feel that way, a little bit. It is at this time that we ask you to repeat the captain's adage.
57:53You've lost a lot, but what have you got? What have you got? I have you two. That's right. It is important to focus on growth and achievements when you feel emotional regression I really love you guys We know You have said so 23 times in the last 30 days Hey, we're taking our sandwiches to go I gotta go wrestle a monster real quick Uh, what?
58:45Son of a bitch.
58:51Oh, hello there, Carl. Where have you been? Mouse hunting? How are the mice on this planet? Welcome to the beginning of the universe. What do you think? I mean, it's not exactly the beginning of the universe, but it's close enough. Carl, you're just in time because I've just had a dramatic revelation. Would you like to hear it? Okay. Don't freak out, okay? Our charming host-slash-jailor brought me down here, and he fired up this machine of his and he showed me the beginning of the universe from nothingness to now. It's truly amazing to see it. It's how I imagined it. Is there this part of me that wishes there was something I didn't predict?
59:52Sure. But it was a hell of a show. One that would have impressed anybody. But there is this one question that I asked him, and it stuck with me, and it stuck with me, and it stuck with me, and here I am now. I asked him, did you build this? And he said, of course I built it. Why is that sticking with me? I asked myself. why is that sticking with me? And then it came to me. Why did you build this? Why would you have to? You describe yourself as this person who can manipulate the fabric of the universe and yet you built something. You see, Carl, we humans, we make tools. And we make tools when we find the limits of our humanity.
1:01:01I can't reach that thing, so I'm going to make a thing so I can reach that thing. But we're talking about a god here, Carl. We're talking about a guy who can always reach the thing. If he can always reach the thing, why did he build a thing? The thing about science, Carl Power is never imagined It's always measured In humans, though Power is almost always imagined The school bully strides through the playground Confident because he's never really challenged His power is always imagined It's a hallmark of being a member of this race of demented monkeys that I, unfortunately, find myself a member of.
1:01:57Power, almost always, is imagined.
1:02:04What have we seen this guy do, Carl? We've seen him teleport. That's pretty impressive. Have I, in my travels, encountered people who can make things that teleport? Yes. Time travel. Have I seen people build time machines? I fucking live in one, Carl. What have we seen this guy do? He's got little minions that chase us all over the multiverse. He's got a big gun on the top of his castle. He's got a magical dome that can show me anything I want to see. What have we seen him do?
1:02:52That's right, Carl. We're back to the catcher in the rye. The problem with the world? Fucking phonies.
1:03:07What was that, Carl?
1:03:21What the hell? Carl, come here. Am I seeing things? Or is that another dome just like this one? Who's in there? Is someone in there? Is this a paradox? Am I seeing myself traveling back to the beginning? No, that's not right. There's someone in there.
1:03:46Holy shit. Leaf? Leaf, what the fuck are you doing in there? Who is that with you? Carl, what the fuck is happening? Leaf! You know what? Fuck it. Let's just go with a Hail Mary pass. Yes, I know, it's a sports analogy.
1:04:17You better be able to understand this, goddammit.
1:04:24Leaf. Leaf, look at this. Leaf, it's all bullshit. He's not a god. He's just a shithead. Look at this and understand it. Come on. Are you reading it? Understand this, you fucking grease monkey.
1:04:52And he's gone.
1:04:57What the fuck was that?
1:05:38Yeah! Careful! Don't hurt him! Don't hurt him? Look at the claws on this fucker! Oh my god! Tina, be careful! Give him the atomic elbow smash! The creature's center of gravity is much higher than yours. Use that to your advantage. How? Can you take it off its feet? Sweep the leg! FYI, Murder Beast was a totally appropriate name! Alright, buddy. Down we go!
1:06:04Now what? Try and hold him there. Just try and hold him still. You should attempt to pin its arms behind you. Alright, you fucking monster. Ow! Stop biting! Come here! Come here! Yeah, yeah, yeah! Cry me a river! Now what? Okay, just hold him there. Hey, hey. It's me. Hey, can you see me? Do you recognize me? He's digging his damn claws into my leg. It's me. It's Gloria. Do you recognize me?
1:06:52That's right It's me I gave you a cup of coffee I think it's working We're not going to hurt you, okay? Tita Go ahead And let it go You sure? Yeah I think it'll be fine Okay It's okay It's okay I remember you can understand me I'm not sure how well you understand me But I'm just going to talk You were the first person I ever met out here It was a long time ago for me, but I don't know how long it was for you. I tried to help you, but I don't know if I did. But what I wanted to say that you helped me. After I made you that cup of coffee, I said, This is a good job. That was when I knew I was in the right place, that I'd done the right thing.
1:08:21I guess I just wanted to say thank you.
1:08:47Oh god. Uh, guys? It's moving toward me. Guys? It's okay. Are we 100 % on that? What does it want with you? Oh, I have a sparkling personality. Gloria, you mentioned these creatures were engineered to be cannibalistic. Yes. But it has encountered the diner, a change agent. Perhaps it has overcome its engineering and has graduated to another behavior. We don't think that new behavior is eating lesbians, do we? Fiona, you have brought the sandwiches with you. Oh, my God. Oh, my God. Okay. Okay. This one is prosciutto and peppers. This one is green apples. All right, all of them. Sure. Amazing. That thing is hungry.
1:09:35It may be deeply malnourished. Its chosen diet may have changed without it knowing how to feed itself. It's back on me again. It's probably still hungry. Let's get it back to the diner.
1:10:09Look at this fucking place, Carl. I should have known he was a big fat baker when I saw this castle. This is overcompensating. Look how high the ceilings are. I can't even see them. Disappointed!
1:10:34Carl, what are you doing? You're doing the open-the-door dance at a wall. Things don't open just because you meow at them, okay?
1:10:50What the fuck? Carl, did you just do magic? Carl? Secret passage, huh? Okay, fine.
1:11:11Fiona. Hey, I think I set a new record for grilled cheese sandwiches. That thing just keeps eating them. Cool. What is this? Oh, that's rubbing alcohol. You know, there wasn't a first aid kit in here, and I thought, you know, with all the trouble we get into... Whatever. You put this on wounds, right? Yeah, but it's... You need to put some on me. I... What? That thing scratched the fuck out of me. I fixed my leg, but I can't reach the ones on my back. Fiona! Yeah, yes, right. Isn't that gonna really hurt, Tita? Yeah, it would hurt if I was a big weenie. Do I look like a big weenie to you? Nope.
1:11:53No, you do not. Okay, here. Okay. There's a huge one between my shoulder blades. I'm going to take my shirt off. Jesus Christ, seriously. What? Nothing. Nothing. Let me get a clean towel.
1:12:11You doing all right, Fiona? I'm okay. You're scared. I'm okay. I can smell it on you. Really? Is it that bad? No, I mean, it's a Laharian thing. I can literally smell fear. Oh. I guess it's not great being back here in Cryptessia. Sure. Okay, you're done. All right. I'm going to teach you something. Teach me? Kaprakcha! What is that? It's Laharian. Try it. Kaprakcha. Kaprakcha! Caproctcha! From deep down, Fiona. Caproctcha! Caproctcha! Good! What is it? It's what a Laharian says to death. What does it mean? It means, I fucking dare you. Caproctcha. Keep working on it. Thanks, Tita. Sandwiches are burning.
1:13:26Oh, shit.
1:13:32How's handsome? He fell asleep in my lap, and I think I'm stuck here for a while. Looks like he needs it. Yeah. So, listen. Voon and I have been talking. What's up? I think you may have freed him from some pretty terrible behavior, but you may have fucked him up a little in the process. I was thinking the same thing. The creature has no developed behaviors to feed itself, and it is also in a hostile environment where it will be preyed upon by other creatures like it. I think he's got to come with us for a while, until we find a good spot for him. I'm so glad you said it. I was just about to ask you.
1:14:14There's got to be some place out there for him. We know he loves Fiona's cooking. You've got a weird life ahead of you, murder beast. Gloria, my ability to scan biologics is rudimentary, but I am capable of a general overview. However, due to the creature's inability to consent to such scans, do you think you would be able to stand in as it's ward? Yeah, I think that's a good idea, Voon. Scanning. Well, shit. Now I have all these sandwiches. Hey, pass them around. Now I have one. I've got to head back to the fleet. Cozzy went and got herself injured, apparently, so I've got to get back and whip people into shape.
1:14:48I'll let them know you're here and we'll figure out where to go from there. Okay. Tita, I don't know why the diner brought me here without picking up the others, but I guess we just have to keep going regardless. Don't worry about it too much. They're pretty smart. They can figure something out. Except for Casper. That guy's fucked. Thank you, Tita. Peace and our time, fuckheads. Gloria. What is it, Voon? This creature is human. 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.
1:15:29Holy shit. Oh my god. It's just another one of Croc's experiments.
1:15:42This is a perversion. He must be stopped.
1:16:16I love everyone in the community. That's my cat in your lap.
1:16:32I don't know how to remove it. Oh, he doesn't like being removed.
1:16:45This is a pretty big gun you've got here. What do you call it? Okay. Did you make this? Yes. Who are you?
1:17:09Jazinka.
1:17:15Hello, Jazinka. I'm Ava. I've been hearing this thing firing up a lot since I've been here. What are you shooting at? Targets. What are your targets? Irrelevant. Uh-huh. Jazinka? Do you make things around here? Other things? Yes. I see.
1:17:45Pay no attention to the man behind the curtain.
1:17:53There is no man behind a curtain. It's from a movie. Do you watch movies? No. Who are you, Jazinka?
1:18:04Please narrow your question. Where are you from? Ren. Where is that? The Bracken System. And where is the Bracken System? The Andromeda Galaxy. You're far from home. This is my home. I see.
1:18:30How did you get here? A starship. A starship belonging to who? My father. Your father, Kroc the Propagator? Yes. Fucking family business. Jazinka, do you make all of his technology? Yes. Why? I make things. Yes. Why?
1:19:04I have answered your question.
1:19:21Did you hit it? Irrelevant. Isn't the point of a weapon to hit something with it? The targets are provided to me to test the weapon. You're not trying to destroy the targets with this big weapon? The destruction of the targets is not one of the weapon's intended purposes. I see. What are the intended purposes of the weapon? There is one purpose. What is it?
1:20:04To destroy the diner.
