In short
After the Triad’s warp gates collapse and warp-fueled stars “eat” the gates, the episode follows Leif’s and Trinket’s attempts to recover lost memories and stabilize Trinket’s mind during a vision quest on the Astral Plane. In parallel, the town of Hood’s Pocket tries to keep a journalist (Bert Bert) from uncovering too much, while the community prepares for future communication and long-term survival. The episode ends with plans for probes to restore comms and hints of an impending war.
Guest backgrounds (who appears in the episode)
- No real-world podcast guests. The “guests” are characters:
- Bert Bert: a journalist from the Undersignal; in this universe she never met Leif and has been working for years.
- Leif: a pirate/engineer type; in the Astral Plane he’s guided by Trinket and later reunites with Verge.
- Trinket: a spiritual guide who leads Leif through memory recovery; later suffers a psychosomatic-like crisis tied to “spacefoot.”
- Eldon and Frank: observers/handlers monitoring Trinket and Leif’s trance.
- June: a convenience-store worker who brings mandrake tea and supports the group.
- Doug, Deidre, Steve, Celeste, Verge, Birch, Ignatz, Bam Bam, Goetz: Hood’s Pocket residents and helpers; some run the bar/shops and manage community logistics.
- Virge: a vapian (non-human) who’s stuck in town and helps contextualize the aftermath.
- Goetz/“Das Funky Beats”: performers who start a “party” to distract and energize the town.
Key claims
- The warp-gate network is gone, cutting interplanetary communication and trade.
- Hood’s Pocket’s moving mountain can relocate people across time/space.
- Trinket’s vision quest is dangerous but can be relieved by emotional unburdening and a supportive circle.
- Comms will be restored via probe launches; FTL becomes an engineering problem again.
- Bertoluna Restiana (from another universe) defeated the TEDs; “be the manager” is the guiding philosophy.
Notable examples
- Mandrake tea is poisonous to anyone except Trinket.
- A circle “drum” of community members speaks personal memories to stabilize Trinket.
- Bert Bert confronts the town about the warp-gate collapse; the truth is partially revealed.
- A “funky beats” performance and a tuba/sousaphone audition keep Bert Bert occupied.
- A memory-reveal: Leif’s mother had electromagnetic hypersensitivity, shaping his shame and decision to leave home.

Transcript
Automatic transcript. May contain errors.0:14This is Burt Burt, broadcasting on whatever's left of the undersignal. I have no idea if this dispatch is going to reach anybody. For all I know, it could be banked on a comms node and sit there to be discovered one day by some future civilization wondering what the fuck happened to everyone. Last night, the world ended. The network of warp gates that connected thousands of civilizations across three galaxies all of a sudden powered down and were subsequently eaten by stars that used to fuel them. Let's think out loud about what that means. No more communication between planets. Civilizations that had become completely dependent on imported goods are cut off.
1:05It's estimated that roughly 40 % of the citizens of the Triad are, at any given time, away from their home planet. Myself included. Wherever you were yesterday, you live there now. As the gates were coming down yesterday, I tried to get some sense of what was happening. But nobody knew anything. Thousands of planets were in complete panic and confusion. All except for one. Where I happened to be yesterday when the world ended was on Rax Prime. I had begun to hear rumors of some strange things going on in the capital city of Raxias and, dutiful little reporter that I am, decided to head out and see what's what.
1:51And last night, when the entire triad was frantic, last night, while I was sending what may be my very last message to my mother and father, there was partying in the streets. As far as I can tell, the world that I used to know is gone. But as some sort of weird consolation prize, it has given me a mystery. So, even though I may be a reporter without an audience, I suppose it's time for me to go to work. This is Bert Bert, broadcasting on the Undersignal. Welcome to the triad.
2:37Or whatever we're calling it now. Thank you.
3:11Thank you.
3:42I'm sorry.
4:16Are you doing okay? I think so. Where are we? The Astral Plane. There wasn't really an instruction booklet when I showed up, so I'm calling this The Shores of Memory, and that's the Astral Sea. Yeah, sure. Okay. It was really disorienting for me at first, so take your time. It's dark. It's always like this. Like, the sun is just about to come up or go down. What's that in the distance? It looks like a lighthouse or something. I don't know. I feel like I'm supposed to go towards it, but not yet. It's definitely not where we're going today. Where are we going? It's simple. You are going to take a walk on the beach.
5:26That's all? As you walk along the beach, it should walk you through memories. You need to walk long enough to get to the memory you lost. You're not coming with me? Well, actually, I can't. Why not? Well, you're not really supposed to be here, Leif. What do you mean? Hmm. Reaching this place isn't easy, and it takes a lot of work. And not to brag, but it takes a lot of spiritual soundness. You feeling spiritually sound, Leif? Absolutely not. Right. So your conscious mind isn't with you right now. That logical mind that keeps your emotions in check. So there's a danger of that washing over you and removing you from this place.
6:32Why isn't that happening now? Because of... Oh my gosh. Okay. Drink it. I'm okay. Hmm. All those unchecked emotions. I'm taking all of that on for you right now. Oh God. It's okay. I'm, I'm going to be fine. Oh, there's just... Oh, there's a lot of it, Leaf. You've had quite a life. You should have told me before we did this.
7:17You would have said no. It's going to be... Hmm.
7:29It's going to be okay. Hey, if I can hold all of this back for you, then you'll be able to function here. And most importantly, you'll be able to remember everything. Trinket, if this is dangerous for you, we shouldn't do it. No, no, no, no, we should. There is something really big out there, Leif I can feel it There is something you really need to know Go Drink it Leif I've been doing this work my whole life This is the big game for me I am ready Go Okay, I'll go as fast as I can. Well, time doesn't actually exist here, Leif, but I appreciate the sentiment. Ooh! Okay. Hmm. Go. Here I go.
8:52Frank? Yeah? How are they? Uh, I have no idea. Any change? Um, nope. They're just sitting there on the floor with their eyes closed. Eldon, uh, it's really weird. It's unconventional, to be sure. So, they're just meditating or something? Life's taken a bit of space foot, and according to her, that allows Trinket to lead him on some sort of vision quest. Apparently by doing this, she can help him recover his lost memories. Uh-huh. Uh-huh, sure. Uh, Eldon, is this a bunch of bullshit? Frank, we're about 19 million light years away from any sort of provable science. Don't even bother. Regardless, Trinket asks that we always have someone watching them while they're doing this, so here we are.
9:54Okay. All right. Fine. Do you need me to send someone over to take over for you? No, I'm fine. All right. Just let me know. Trinket left you a note by the cash register, by the way. Okay. Oh, hey, Eldon. Have you looked at the calendar lately? I have. If our schedule doesn't change, we're set to move again in a month. And a bunch of people from the city have moved in here. They have. So I'm assuming we haven't told them about the whole traveling mountain thing. How does one break that news exactly? Great. No idea. But we should probably get a plan together. Agreed. Dear Frank, I set aside some mandrake tea in the pot, steep it for five minutes, then remove the bag.
10:44Remember, don't let anyone touch it. It's poison! Exclamation point. Sounds like you have a nice, quiet evening ahead of you. Yeah. Sure. Let me know if you need anything. Uh-huh. God! How the fuck do I boil water in here? No! Hello! Hi, June. Look at you behind the counter. Can I get some Eye of Newt, please? We are fresh out. What are you doing? I am trying to figure out how Trinket boils water. Have you tried heating it? Oh, thank you for that, June. Helpful. Let's see. Ah, here we go. Wow. Electric kettle. I don't have to go gather kindling in the forest or something. Wouldn't it be funny if this was all an act and she has like an 80-inch flat screen in the back?
11:50That would be funny. Also amazing, because I am stuck here for a while and an 80-inch TV would be great. look at them. They're just gonna sit on the floor like that. I guess so. Until when? I don't know. Do you think they're going to start levitating? Interesting. It wouldn't surprise me. We're gonna put funny hats on them, right? Oh my god, now you're talking um sombrero for Leif? Yes but um one of the fancy ones that mariachis wear like with the little tassels on it yes okay and but wait what about Trinket? A fez of course oh shit of course because she's so worldly Oh, yes. That's great. June, this has turned into a fun night.
13:09It's what I do.
13:15But wait, what are you doing here? Well, I heard you were on, what are we calling this, trance patrol. So I thought I'd come by and keep you company. Okay, well, that's very nice of you. And don't touch the tea. Don't touch the tea, why? It's poisonous. Interesting. Can you expand on that for me? Well, she was making me some sort of specialty, and I was enjoying it. It turns out it's made of something called mandrake, and it's poisonous to anyone who is not me. That's so Catherine de' Medici of her. It's insane. I mean, turns out the tea is pretty good, though. Well, luckily for you, I've never touched tea in my life.
14:10So don't worry. Would you like me to run around the corner to the hardware store and get you some antifreeze? You can shake it with some ice. Make yourself a little martini. Okay. Thank you. I'm good with the tea. Okay, and I brought a movie and some popcorn. Do you want popcorn? Sure. And do you want me to sprinkle some asbestos on your popcorn? Okay, yep. So how long are you going to go with this joke? Oh, I'm going all night. June, what's the movie? It's a classic. One Beloved by all A masterpiece Of the cinematic arts Fuck off, it's Swamp Thing It's Swamp Thing, I brought Swamp Thing And how long Will you be going with that joke?
15:00To the grave, Frankie You know what Fuck it, it's been a minute Put it on Yeah? Yeah, sure It's either that or we stare at two people in a trance all night. Okay, Frankie, tonight we have a very important question. Was Adrienne Barbeau actually attractive or did she just have big boobs?
15:31Oh, hi there. Can I help you? Pretty impressive. Um, I'm sorry? This is exactly how I would imagine a convenience store on Earth. Oh. Oh! Oh, um, yes. Um, thank you. We have worked very hard to make it look this way. Uh-huh. Mm-hmm. Was there anything in particular that you were looking for? What's your name? Doug. Doug. Classic Earthling. Um, thank you. I am looking for something in particular, Doug. Okay. Maybe you haven't heard, since you're up here in this idyllic little Earth town, but three galaxies just collapsed in on themselves, and it's total chaos out there. Yeah, I've heard that. That sounds, um, bad.
16:43Bad is maybe the most reductive term you could possibly use right now, Doug. Oh, oh, yes. I'm sorry. I'm sure that it's, um, whatever the right word is. I'm sure it's that. Total catastrophe. That's where I would start, Doug. Though even that doesn't quite capture the magic. And yet, last night, there was partying in the streets. There were fireworks. Raxias became the happiest place I've ever seen, when it's usually described as the ass end of the triad. And I found that odd. I also found it odd that I began to hear rumors. Rumors that all of this, this total catastrophe, had something to do with a weird little town up in the mountains where people are pretending to be earthlings.
17:33Yesterday, I was in Raxias on business. Last night, I learned that I live here now, and I'll never be going anywhere again. I was never a big fan of my homeworld, Doug, but I have to say I'm a bit miffed to find that I'll never be going back there again. So, I suppose the thing in particular that I'm looking for is... an explanation, Doug.
17:59Is there anything else in particular that you're looking for? Salt and vinegar chips. Aisle three. Thanks.
18:14Oh, uh, hello? Hello, Doug. What? Why are you calling me? Why aren't you just, you know, talking through my phone? I'm attempting to be clandestine, Doug. Just act natural. Oh. Okay, I... I am acting natural. Doug, people who are acting natural don't say so out loud. Oh, I'm sorry. Try and get her name. Okay. Hey, so, um, I didn't catch your name. Bertaluna. You can call me Bert-Bert. Well, hello there, boss. Dunk, do me a favor and see if you can direct her over to the sheep's eye, would you? Oh, sure.
19:03Birch. Good evening, Alden. Bert Bert is here.
19:10What? She just walked into the shop and go, and she's headed for the sheep's eye. Hold on a second. Leif told us there was no Burt-Burt in this universe. That appears to be a faulty assumption on his part. I can't connect to the wider network anymore, but from what I can gather from local databases, this particular Burt-Burt never left home on a cinder, which is where she would have met Leif. This Burt-Burt went straight into working for the Undersignal and has been there for years. A few days ago, she showed up on Rax Prime working on a story, And then the entire triad collapsed. And now she's here permanently and very upset about it.
19:53She seems to think that our little town had something to do with the warp gates coming down. Can't imagine where she got such an idea. Okay.
20:06Hard to know what to do in this situation, isn't it? It really is. We can't possibly explain the ins and outs of our predicament. She would never believe us. But it's also Burt-Burt. Which means she'll keep digging no matter what. So are you trying to tell me that because Burt-Burt never met Leif at Sirius Station that one time, that's what led to Dark Leif? Certainly emphasizes the importance of keeping your appointments, doesn't it? What should we do? Well, it's entirely possible that this current Bert Bert knows Leif's face even though she doesn't know him. She'd be a poor reporter if she didn't know the face of the most notorious pirate in the triad.
20:54Oh. Yes, she may think that we're harboring the worst of the worst, so until we come up with a more appropriate course of action, we should at least try and keep her occupied at the Sheep's Eye so she doesn't wander into Trinket's shop. Okay. Sure.
21:13Well, at least I know what I'm doing tonight. So, after all is said and done, I think it's starting to get ridiculous to house my people in barracks anymore. I think if we've got room in town, we should find some houses for them. Hey, I say that's no problem. I'll talk to Doug and find them a place. I mean, it's not like they're going AWOL. Uh, excuse me? I'm looking for Steve. Yeah, hey, I'm Steve. Hi, um, I'm... Oh, no, no, no, don't tell me. It's, uh, Shinzo, right? Oh, yeah. And you're from, uh, Bacuse. Yeah, wow. Hey, what can I do for you, Shinzo? I would like to audition. Uh, audition? I'm sorry?
21:57Do you guys do that here? Uh, do what, Shinzo? Uh, I play earth music. Oh. Earth music. Earth music. When was the last time we had live music here? Oh, TJ Bandit, remember? He said live music gave him a headache. It's not loud, I promise. It's just me and my instrument. There's no harm in that. Guess not. This isn't the down and footloose. I, uh, no, no, I guess not. I love earth music. I've been playing it since I was a kid. Let me just play a little bit for you. You can let me know what you think. I mean... Why not? Why not, you know? Okay, Shinzo. Get up there. Show us what you got. Okay, great.
22:38Thank you so much. Steve? What's happening? Uh, live music auditions. Since when? Since right now, I guess. Steve. Yeah, what? It was Steve's idea, Deidre. Oh, come on! Steve, what if he gets up there and then suddenly we've got people out the door wanting to play music here? Oh, that won't happen. Deidre! What if he's really good? Yeah, what if he's really good, Deidre?
23:10Huh. Huh. Steve, your guy appears to be playing a tuba. Yeah. Yeah. He's playing a tuba. Isn't he? Is this what you had in mind for live music? I mean... Do you think anyone told him that a tuba is more of a group instrument? Not a lot of soloists out there. Yeah, that is the problem.
23:48What the fuck? Hey there, welcome to the Sheep's Eye. What can I get you? Does that guy know you don't play a tuba by yourself? Let's not tell him. He's having a great time. Okay, sure. Nice place. Thanks. I recognize you from somewhere. Don't I? Do you? Deidre. One second. Hey, baby. Did a blue person just walk in? Yeah, just now. Remember that video I showed you of my friend? She's a journalist. Bert Bert. Oh, right. That's where I recognize her. We thought she didn't exist in this universe, but there she is. She doesn't know you, though. Bert met her through life, so we're assuming no. Okay, um.
24:35Do, do, do, I need to do something. I'm on my way over. Can you just do that thing where you charm the pants off of people? I do a thing where I charm the pants off people? Well, I mean, my pants certainly came off, so... Well, they're not exactly hard to get off, are they? Oh my god! Sorry, sorry, sorry, sorry, sorry, sorry, sorry, sorry. Okay, I'll keep her busy. Kenzo, that was great stuff, man! Thank you. I've never heard someone play the tuba like that. Well, technically, it's a sousaphone. Sure, sure, sure, yeah. Here's the thing. You're all alone up there. You need some people around you, right?
25:16Hey, I think it's time we get a band together. I don't think anybody wants a sousaphone in their band. You say that, but have you ever experienced the magic that is earth, wind, and fire? What's earth, wind, and fire? Come outside. Let's talk all about it. Bert, Bert. That's me. I thought I recognized you. You're a journalist, right? I am. Hey, Deidre, can I get a white wine? Sure. Uh, okay. What's this about? You're dressed like you're in the army or something. I am in the army or something. You mean you're dressed like you're in the army or something, but you couldn't possibly be in the army because this is a town full of people pretending to be earthlings.
26:03Right? Hey, Celeste. Come here for a second. What's up? Are we still doing, you know, the thing where we're pretending to be pretending to be Earthlings? Right. Are we still doing that? I can't remember. Seems like after we beat the bad guys, the wolves got a little lax around here. They did. I mean, Slab's nose. Obviously. Hey, guys, just so you know, there's some sort of a reporter here in town and they're asking a lot of questions. Doug, are we still pretending to be aliens pretending to be human? Oh. Um. Yes. Yes? No? We can't remember. Oh. I feel like people stopped asking. They did. Hey, I'm a music producer now, just so you all know.
26:55Steve, are we still doing the plan? What do you mean? Were we pretend to be aliens pretending to be earthlings? Ah. Uh, Eldon? To be completely honest, I've lost her act. Eldon, come on! You're supposed to keep track of everything! Pobody's nerfect. Verge is here. Let's let them do the talking for a while, shall we? Great idea. Evening. Hi. Bert Bert, right? Yes. I love your work. Thank you. I'm Verge. Nice to meet you. You're staring, Bert Bert. I'm sorry. I've never met a vapian before. Here I am. What the fuck is going on in this town? Mmm. Can I buy you a drink?
28:01You from her? Yeah. You? Yeah. How'd you get out of the system? Uh... Long ass story. Yeah, same here. Listen, since you're from Earth, I've got a warning. If you're not from Earth, I'm afraid of you.
28:31I should have known you'd be hiding in here somewhere. Who, me? I wasn't hiding, kiddo. Just giving you a little space is all. How's the trip down memory lane? Can't find what I'm looking for. Did you check between the couch cushions? I feel like I've cycled through every moment in my life so far. But there's still one missing. Why don't you have a seat for a while? Maybe you're working too hard. Forest for the trees and all that. I'm kind of in a hurry. Buster! How are you in a hurry in a place where time doesn't exist?
Read the full transcript
29:19Not a bad point.
29:27Beautiful place! Yeah. Reminds me of Denona. Remember Denona? Oh yeah. What was that? Point three G's? Point two! You walked around, light as a feather. There was always music in the air. Couldn't stay too long, though. The longer you stay, the harder it is to leave. Not unlike the past.
30:11I forgive you For what? You know what I'm sorry I built the cow catcher I forgive you I don't know how But it seemed like the only thing to do It's in our nature, Leif Fixing problems that's what engineers do. The problem isn't in fixing problems. The problem is in what you do and don't call a problem. Croc is definitely a problem. So is the cow catcher, Leif. You can't fix a problem with a problem. Leif, This problem can't be solved by a page from Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance. This problem is too big. If this guy goes unchecked, he could fuck up an entire universe. All I had to work with were some really bad ideas.
31:22That's not all you had, Leif. You've always had more than that. Let me give you some advice. The kind of advice that can only be given to you by a dead guy. What? Everything is always alright.
31:49Really? Everything? Really sucks the drama out of the moment when you say it, but... Everything.
32:03Well, I'll keep that in mind. Good. Now you better get a move on, kiddo. Time's not a-wasted. I don't know where to go at this point. I feel like I've been walking for days. This place loves to tell you a story. Let it tell you a story. What do you mean? A story like a foreboding island just barely visible on the horizon.
32:38Oh, come on. What is that place? Looks like a foreboding island just barely visible on the horizon. might be the place you're looking for. Well, what am I supposed to do? Swim there? No, you can't swim there. Remember, the water is what could happen. The shore is what's already happened. Well, you don't want to get lost in the sea of possibilities. Then what do I do? Hark! What's that I see there? A simple rowboat to navigate these troubled waters? A rowboat? Looks like it. I'm supposed to row all the way out to that island? You got something better to do? The astral plane sucks. It's not built for wusses, kiddo.
33:40It can't be any worse than Quilandus, I guess. It's good to see you, old man. Bon voyage!
33:51Leif! Yeah? Everything is always alright. Yeah.
34:13So, I'll be honest, I thought the whole four arms thing was a sort of racist demonization tactic. Nope. Four arms. But I'm assuming you don't have poisonous teeth, worship a death god, and can turn into a pool of black sludge on command. Those are definitely racist myths. But hey, if wishing made it so... Everyone is very calm. What do you mean? Virge, do you like it here in this weird little town? I do. Good. Because you're stuck here. Right. The world of the triad that we all know and love just disappeared in the blink of an eye. I heard the news. I can't imagine the chaos that's ensued on other planets.
35:09Here, it's like it hasn't even happened. Or, it's like... Like it was a good thing? Yes. Well, maybe to people on Raxias it is. this planet, this whole quadrant has been getting the shitty end of the triad ever since well, ever since my planet turned into a black hole you've been reporting on the triad your whole life you know what it's like out there for planets that get the short end of the stick everyone out there worries about the end of the world without asking themselves if the world deserved to exist in the first place. When an empire falls, there's always an after-party somewhere. People are going to suffer out there, Virge.
36:07It's the greatest crime ever committed. What's the crime before the crime? You know what else is strange? I'm sitting here in this bar with a vapian, and nobody's giving you dirty looks. In fact, everyone around here seems to really like you. Well, what's not to like?
36:34What happened to the triad, Virch? Let's have another drink. Hey, y 'all. Have a seat anywhere. We have not come to sit. We wish to speak to the one who is Stev. We have an urgent matter. We wish to discuss. Oh, wow. Okay. Steve. Yeah, what's up? These people. Greetings to you, Steve. My name is Goetz. And these are my collaborators, Ignatz and Bam Bam. It's nice to meet you all. So what can I do for you? We have come here to mark the beginning of the party. The party. It must be started. Yeah, indeed. I'm sorry? Steve, our interest in your establishment was aroused when it became known to us that you are seeking musical entertainment.
37:32Oh, you're musicians! Steph thinks we are musicians.
37:40We are beyond music. We are beyond music, Steph. You're not musicians. Steve, beyond music, we are those funky beats, and we have come to ensure that the party has promptly begun. We will show you our work. It shall astound you. Jawohl, please, Steve, direct us to the designated area for musical interpretations. You know, listen, we had a guy come in here with a tuba, and he wanted to play us some music, and we didn't mean to put the word out that we were looking for musicians. Oh, work frightens him. His fear is delicious. Steve, we have no wish to be an imposition. But if you will allow those funky beats to play at your establishment, the roof will be raised in an upwards direction.
38:37You'll raise the roof? Ja, that is correct. And I think that you will find that each track has been effectively raised to banger status. Yeah, okay. Um, maybe just one song? Steve believes he can only hear one song. Dev will soon learn that Das Funky Beats has precisely zero skips. Prepare yourself, Steve. Sure, okay. How's it going over there? Listen, I'm no slouch when it comes to lying my ass off, but I happen to be sitting across from the most sensitive bullshit detector in the triad. I'm not sure how much longer I can keep this up. I mean, maybe you should just tell her. Tell her what? Everything?
39:29Why not? Oh, so I should tell her we're on a magical traveling mountain and we just popped in to bring the world crashing down on her head. And oh, by the way, Burt's, we're going to fuck off to another dimension in a month. Maybe don't put it exactly like that. She will never believe me. Believing it or not is her job. Telling her the truth is yours. Look, I know this isn't your Burt Burt, but she's still your friend. You'd want her to tell you the truth, right?
40:03Why do I want to tear your clothes off even more when you say the kind and wholesome things? I'm not sure, but we should really explore that with a mental health professional, don't you think? Should we? Or a bottle of wine. One of the two. Good evening. Guten Abend. And we are those funky beats. Funky beats. Please now groove to our song entitled Das Schwebe-Verrat. Fantastisch, the hoverbike. System check. Power force, activate. Magnetic field, stabilized. Lift, engaged. Hoverbike. Ready, let's ride.
41:01Chrome, Frame, Polished, Steel, Zero, Friction, Zero, Real, No, Contact, Air, Gap, Silent, Motion, Circuit, Mag, Helmet, On, Seatbelt, No Need, Turbo, Freedom, Turbo, Speed, Das Schwiebel, Verrat, The Hover, Bike, Das Schwiebel, Verrat, The Hover, Bike, Das Schwiebel, Verrat, The Hover, Bike, I enjoy my hover bike. I like to ride my hover bike. Magnetic levitation, linear flow, urban navigation with a steady glow. Above the asphalt, above the street, technology perfected, the circuit is complete. Das Schwebe verrat, the hover bike. All aboard, the hover bike. Hop astride, let's go, let's ride.
42:08Hover, hover, hover, hover, bike, bike, bike, bike. Hover, bike, hover, bike, hover, hover, bike, bike. Velocity 10, velocity 20. Above the speed of sound is velocity 20. Conveyance? Yes. Friction? No. Man, machine, on the go! Weave, glide, flow, slide, downshift, now drift, cool, ride! Das Schwiebe-Ferrad, the hoverbike!
42:43I enjoy my hoverbike, and we glide, glide, glide, glide, glide, glide, ride! Into the sunset, into the sky! Like a stride of bikes we say goodbye. Those funky beats we'll ride again and when at last we do, we'll bring an extra hoverbike exclusively for you.
43:28I'm going to say attractive Adrienne Barbeau Yeah Yeah? Yeah It's nice to feel like a woman can open a beer bottle with her teeth It is a very impressive jawline, isn't it? Frank What's up, Eldon? I'm monitoring the vital signs for Leif and Trinket, and I'm a bit concerned. What's wrong? Leif is fairly stable, but Trinket has an increased heart rate and a very chaotic activity in her brain. What should we do? I don't have a visual on them. How does she look? She's not levitating. Yeah, Eldon, she is not levitating. Yes, thank you. How is her breathing? She's breathing. Yeah, correct, Eldon. She is breathing.
44:20Yes, I'm sure she's breathing. is her breathing labored at all? Oh, uh, I don't think so. All right. Uh, Frank? Frank? Oh, shit. Eldon. Eldon, I think she's coming out of it. Uh, Trinket? Trinket, we're right here. Okay. I'm... Oh, this is hard. Uh, I'm in... two places at once right now. Hmm. It's hard. Hard to concentrate. Trinket, Eldon is concerned about your brain or something. I think that I might be in a little trouble. Trinket, what seems to be the problem? Hmm. Trinket? he was he was a little kid living in the forest his his parents lived without a lot of things but he'd he'd find bits and pieces from time to time broken coffee machine an abandoned toy an old lamp these these things would talk to him I can be something wonderful, they would say.
45:50Oh my God, what is she talking about? These are Leif's memories. She's trying to synthesize them somehow. Oh, but he had to hide it all. Hide it all from his parents at first. He knew how they would feel. They taught a child that the most beautiful part of him was ugly and wrong, a thing that should be hidden, but it got harder and harder to hide, even though he learned to be ashamed of it. Oh, so, so he did whatever young person does. This thing you say I should be ashamed of, I'll embrace it and I won't care what you'll say about it. But then, then his mother got sick. The things he made, they made her sick.
46:52He didn't know why. Nobody knew why. What is she talking about? Leif's mother suffered from a psychosomatic condition called electromagnetic hypersensitivity. In essence, she believed herself to be allergic to technology. It broke his heart. Oh, the one thing he was meant to do was hurting the only person he cared for. In his quietest moments, only to himself he would admit that he never wanted to leave home. He loved it there in the forest, but he couldn't hurt his mother anymore. Okay, Eldon, what are we supposed to do here? He said to himself, I'll leave home. And I promise never to never be at home.
47:51If I ever found another home, it would be betrayal. I'm getting a clearer picture now. The amount of neural activity she's experiencing. She should have been killed by a brain hemorrhage about an hour ago. but the unusual amount of spacefoot coursing through her system is able to repair the damage as it happens. However, even that is getting outstripped at this point. We need to somehow relieve the burden. I'm going to try something. What? Trinket! Trinket, can you hear me? June? Trinket, in middle school, Frank and I called you Bavmorda. Oh, Jesus, June! Bavmorda was the evil witch from the movie Willow, and that's what we called you.
48:34That was mean, Trinket. And a lot of people made fun of you in middle school, and we shouldn't have. And I've always felt bad about that, and I just wanted to say I'm sorry. June, I don't think that's what Eldon is talking about. That is helping. Right? What? You're kidding me. I'm not sure why, but it's bringing some relief to her systems. Frankie, get in there. What do you mean, get in there? Come, come, say something. Say what? I don't know. Think of it like a hot air balloon. She's got too much shit in there, and we need to toss some things out of the basket. What do you got? Say something.
49:15No. What? I don't know what to say. Frank, I am going to give you noogies for the rest of your life. Say something. Okay, fine. Fine. Fine. Um, okay. drink it I like the tea oh come on fuck off just let me I like the tea I didn't want to like the tea I don't like that I like the tea. But thank you for the tea. And somehow that is helping. Holy shit. What is going on? I'm unsure, but apparently an emotional unburdening is helping either Trinket or the Space Foot. Try it again. What? Again? I don't have another one, do you? No, I didn't know I had the last one in me. She's still not out of the woods.
50:31Okay. I know what we're gonna do. Birch! What the fuck? June. All hands on deck at Trinkets Place. Move it! What's happening? Get everybody over here right now! Why? Birch! Get your alien bunts over here right now! Okay, fuck. What's going on? It's probably nothing. I'll be right back. Okay. Deidre. What's going on? We all need to get over to Trinkets. Doug, Steve, Celeste, let's go. What are we doing? Is everything okay? June wants us all over at Trinkets. Who's going to watch the bar? Oh, who cares? Come on. Did she say what's happening? She said all hands on deck. What did she mean by that?
51:09Maybe it's a surprise party. It doesn't feel like a surprise party. What's happening? What's wrong? Oh, this looks weird. We're all going to sit down in a circle and say nice things about Trinket. Oh, this is the emergency? This doesn't feel like an emergency. It's an emergency! Guys, just get in here, okay? Listen, everyone. Trinket is in some sort of fugue state brought on by the process she's taking Leif through. It's very taxing on her, and June has discovered that her symptoms can be relieved through... I don't even know what the word is. Guys, you know what I mean. Like, all the woo-woo shit that Trinket loves, we're gonna sit in a circle and lay it on her.
51:53Even Frank? No, I already went. Oh, we don't get to hear Franks! Franks! Um, could he do it again? Jesus, sit down! God damn it! Okay, who's going first? I'll totally go first. Go for it, Deirdre. Okay. Trinket. You were the first person I told that I was in love with Virge. And through the years, anytime I was feeling confused or emotional, I always found myself over here. and you always listened to me and then gave me a rock or some tea or something. But it wasn't about any of that. It was just that you listened to me and he would always believe every word that came out of my mouth. It's always been really important to me.
52:48Elden! I absolutely hate it, but it's working. Someone else! Uh, Trinket, you were always great to help me with my migraines. And you weren't judgy when it turned out I was working at a secret military base. And you were very supportive when I began dating a spiky mercenary. I'm pretty sure. I'm pretty sure that the one time your bike got stolen, it was by two guys I had just sold Beth to. I've always felt really bad about that. Okay, yeah, Steve, I don't think that's what we're looking for. No, that's working. Jesus Christ. Nice. Who's next? Baby, say something. Okay.
53:50Trinket.
53:53I deliberately don't learn anything about my planet. I try not to look back. I hang on to bits and pieces, but... Apparently, people like you were very important on my planet.
54:17there's some sort of saying about paths up a mountain Eldon the shaman and the scientist are two paths up the same mountain that's it anyway I get it now you made me understand that Trinket I think what all of us are trying to say is that when we come in here and see you, we never have to be anything other than ourselves. No matter who we are or how we're feeling, you always meet us where we are. I, personally, I don't know what I'd do without you. I don't think any of us do. Fuck yeah, guys! Guys! Woo! Good shit! Eldon! She appears to have stabilized.
55:23Bert Bert. Hi. I'm sure this looks... Oh, fuck me. I have no idea how this looks. What the fuck is he doing here? Shit. Oh, shit. What the fuck is this? I can explain. Can you? Honestly, not really. Oh, for fuck's sake. Well, at least there's no authorities for her to go to. I'm gonna go after her. I'll come with you.
55:56Who's the blue lady? Bert Bert! No, thank you. I know how it must look. Do you? I certainly don't know how it looks. I just walked in there and it was like a drum circle around a man who is literally king of the motherfuckers. What is he doing here? It's not him. Yes, it is. It kind of is. Honey. I'm trying to figure out why three galaxies just shit themselves, and I walk into your little shop with an E over there, and you're housing the most wanted man in the triad. Things are adding up. You have no idea how much they are not adding up. Did you have anything to do with the warp gates coming down?
56:30Yes or no? No. Yes. Deidre. No, we did. We did? We're going to tell Burt Bird the truth. Baby. Bert, Bert. My name is Deidre. I'm an Earthling. We all are, except for Verge. Oh, God. I mean, there's also Frank. What are we calling Frank these days? No idea. And I guess Trinket is not exactly a human anymore. Is this too much information up front? Definitely. Look, never mind that. This mountain is called Mountain Hood. It's a mountain from Earth. Every few months, it moves. Moves? Yes. It moves. It moves to a random time and place. Uh-huh. And a few months ago we showed up here, which is already complicated, but it was even more complicated because this time Leif was with us and he showed up randomly and he doesn't remember how.
57:20He's not the Leif from this universe, he's the Leif from another universe. It's so amazing that you think you're explaining something right now. And that is what I've learned from you. People are too complicated to ever be one thing. You are a criminal, Leif. And you're a hero. You're a genius. And you're also an idiot. You're my enemy. You're my friend. I hate you, Leif. And I love you. All those things are true. You spend a lot of time being torn between this guy and that guy and the other guy. I hope one day you realize it's just one guy. All those things are true. What the fuck was that? Hello, Bert Bert.
58:24My name is Eldon. I'm Virgis Tangle. Eldon is the name of Murphy Brown's house painter. Yes. You named me. I was given to Verge by you. What the fuck is happening? Bertbert, to you, we are an assemblage of very odd strangers. But to a few of us, you are a very important person. If you wouldn't mind, I'd like to take the time to explain to you why. I'll present you with all of the corroborating evidence I can.
59:13Can I get you a drink?
59:30ibiоды Well. Hey. Hey. How are you feeling? Uh, that was wild. Right. Are you okay? It was touch and go there for a minute, but I'm going to be okay. Good. Did you find what you were looking for? I did.
1:00:05It wasn't what I was expecting. What did you learn?
1:00:16That everything's always all right. I like it. Wave? Would you happen to know what the word Ozpinhead means? Uh, Ozpinhead? Nope, that's a new one. Okay.
1:00:41Take some time. It'll be a while before you can talk about it. Yeah, it's... it's a lot. In the meantime, a friend of yours stopped by. A friend of mine? She's waiting outside. Let me play my favorite one. Eldon, play the one from Moog. Oh, hi. Oh, hi, Leif. How are you? Since you're still ignoring my messages, I thought I would just leave you with my last will and testament, since I am about to die. To you, I leave nothing but my scorn. I am a fucking prisoner awaiting fucking execution. In case you're wondering if that's a metaphor for something, it is not! I am a fucking prisoner of the fucking science priests of fucking Moog.
1:01:43What? They are about to goddamn kill me in some goddamn cleansing ceremony. So, if for some reason you have decided to stop being a dickhead and check your messages, this is me saying get me the fuck out of here. I am temporarily suspending the judgment of your criminal behavior. Temporarily! I am temporarily suspending it so that you can, in defiance of however many laws, break into the Temple of Enlightenment on Moog and save me from whatever killing machine I am headed towards. If you have a problem doing that, try pretending I am a huge pile of money and steal me. Maybe that'll help. I really hate that this may be the last message I ever send.
1:02:35I mean, it's good. Wait, what the fuck was I doing on Moog? We never asked, actually. But it was a special moment for me. It was where you killed your first bad guy, Bert Bert. Aw, that's sweet. It warms my heart. Burt's? Oh. Oh, hi. If it isn't my best friend in the whole wide world. What are you doing here? What are any of us doing here, Leif? Oh, shit. You were on Rax Prime. I was. Oh, shit. You couldn't have waited until I was on Niso? I'm assuming they let you know that I wasn't the biggest shithead in the triad. Yeah, they've informed me that you're a whole other shithead. Great. How much of that do you believe?
1:03:33I'm not sure how to answer that, Leif. Today I discovered there are only so many weird things someone can encounter on a given day. Eventually, things just start washing over you. But also, I'm a little drunk. And it has been a nice distraction from the fact that the entire system has gone dark and I'll never talk to my friends and family again. Regardless of any of this nonsense, I'm pretty sure I have you to blame for that. Don't I? It might not be dark for long. Oh, really? Why? You didn't tell her? No, I saved that for you. Okay. Sun's coming up. I'll explain on the way. On the way where? Ever seen a Mungo before?
1:04:20Excuse me?
1:04:29So the initial probe is just the start. The Truscans are working on another one right now. It should launch in about a week. That one will travel in the opposite direction of the first one. and GIGA is improving the comms array with every launch. Pretty soon, there should be a network of these probes throughout the whole triad. Ideally, there will always be one nearby. And real-time communication was always rare in the triad anyway. That solves the communication problem, but that's not the whole problem. The triad is going to figure out faster than light travel. It's just a matter of time. You're in the perfect place for it now.
1:05:11Before these probes, faster than light was a science problem. Now it's just an engineering problem. That's where you want to be. There's some great people out there who I think can crack it. And the problem is, the TEDs effectively banned FTL research because they didn't want people to have options to a warp gate. There's a game called ZomCon. All the rogue scientists working on FTL hang out on the game's message boards. Look for a guy named SignMyShovel, also Ban Mi Hung, the Slim Reaper, and Scooter, Worshipper of the Seven Cat Gods. They'll be the ones to crack it. I cannot wait for those names to be in the history books.
1:05:58I know. It's ridiculous. So this is your grand design for the triad? Did you have a better idea? Um, maybe a plan that doesn't involve this much rampant destruction? A just version of the triad wasn't impossible, Leif. People who want to burn things to the ground never have a plan for after the fires burn out. Look, this was always the argument with you and me. You were always trying to bend the triad toward justice, and I was always trying to break it. I broke it, Burtz. What are you going to do now? What do you expect me to do now? What is there to do? Look past the crisis and see the opportunity The opportunity, Jesus Christ I'm serious There's too much crisis to look past, Leif The whole triad is in crisis right now Alright This is going to sound a little crazy Oh, this, this one thing I was in another universe where the Teds were defeated.
1:07:11It was a long and bloody war, but they were defeated. The leader that defeated them? Bertoluna Restiana, Chancellor of the New Coalition.
1:07:27Fuck you, dude. I'm not kidding. It used to infuriate me how you would go through life as if you could complain to the manager And I'm sure it infuriated me that you had such a childish and reductive opinion of my life Well, that's actually exactly how you felt But the point I'm trying to make is There's no manager Be the manager If you wait around for someone else to do it, they're probably going to be the wrong one for the job. What if it's you? What if we... God damn it. What if we make the world? So you make a huge mess and I clean it up? Is that it? It's not my fault I excel at one and not the other.
1:08:24I'm gonna go feed this mongo now. Okay. His name is Lucian Thunderstruck. I'm not calling him that. Okay. Then what are you going to do? I think you're mostly full of shit, Leif. But only mostly full of shit. I can work with that.
1:08:52Hey! Hey, do you know what the word Ozpinhead means? That's not a word.
1:09:25I can't explain the very real way that I'm really okay. When emptiness fills up a room, I fill it with... These guys are good! Steve, who wanted these guys? Some arctic turtle! I like the live music, Steve. This was a good idea. Thanks, Trinket. You know, I play the theremin. Hey, good news, everyone. We have officially housed all of the aliens looking for a home as well as all of the people from the military base. So, everyone's got a roof over their head. Thank you, Doug. Yeah, nice work, Doug. Now, we just need to tell them that the entire mountain is going to move in a month. Oh. Oh. That's right.
1:10:17I'm going to need another list. Okay. Drinks for everybody. So, is Leif still hanging out with his blue friend? Yeah, they like to go round and round, those two. Hey, guys. There he is. Where's your friend, Leif? She had some thinking to do. I appreciate you all handling that situation while I was busy traversing the astral plane. It was fun. It was fun. Speaking of which, spill the beans, Leif. What did you see in your visions? Was Elvis there? Was Caesar there? Did you commune with the Celestial Wombat? What did the Celestial Wombat say, Leif? Was his voice like the sound of the wind? What the fuck are you two talking about?
1:11:10Yeah, guys, shut up. Leif? Does anyone know what the word Ozpinhead means? It's from The Wizard of Oz. It's from The Wizard of Oz. Oh, sorry. No, go ahead, Deidre. I have an unfair advantage. It's from The Wizard of Oz? The book, not the movie. Let me see if I can remember this. Oscar, Zoroaster, Fadrick, Isaac, Norman, Hinkle, Emmanuel, Ambrose Dix. Okay, yes. That was the full name of the wizard. He said it was funny that his initials spelled out Ospinhead? It's so crazy that you know that. Why is that funny?
1:11:59The wizard? Yeah. What? Pay no attention to the man behind the curtain. God damn it, Ava. Who's Ava? Leif, is there something you'd like to share with us? Yeah. But. Before all that, regardless of how I got here, I got dropped into the exact place that I needed to be. With all of you. You know, all of these places, these flying mountains and traveling diners, they're incredibly powerful. Maybe the most powerful things in any universe, but they're useless without people. you guys have just started this journey and I've been doing this for a really long time there's lots of adventure and danger and mystery but it's nothing compared to the people that I've met even the people I met that were me when I look back I think about the people
1:13:16Thanks for being my people for a while Ugh, God! Skip to the end! June! No, seriously, oh my God That's very nice, Leif But get to the good stuff, please Okay So there I was On the outskirts of Triangulum And I had just launched a doomsday device
1:13:48Those are very bad for you, you know I can't quit now, I look too cool Agreed How was your day? I fed a mungo and I met somebody named Tarvok Oh yeah What is that guy's deal? Honestly, I have no idea He is a very strange man Makes incredible knives, though
1:14:21So, you and I are friends? Yeah For the longest time, you were my only friend So, we're just a couple of friends out here talking Sure. So tell me, friend, what should I do with all of this? There was a point about 12 hours ago that I reached my maximum capacity for batshit insanity, and now I'm in a zen-like state, wondering what to do with it all.
1:15:06Well, we're here for another month or so. You should spend some time with us. It's going to be a busy month. You'll learn a lot. Somebody should tell this story. They should know about this place. They should know that places like this exist. Despite how cynical they may be, they should know that the universe, in its own strange way, smiles upon them. Verga, I've pinpointed the address. Why is it going to be a busy month? We're going to war. What? Leif will explain it. I need to make a call.
1:15:58Okay, Eldon. This will take a while. The message will have to hitch a ride on a probe, then get deposited at the right comms node in Triangulum. Then I've written protocols to have the message transmitted to the unlisted node. Okay. Speak whenever you're ready.
1:16:19Hmm.
1:16:23Hey, Virge. Don't bother trying to find me. I won't be here for long there's really no way to explain this message to you so I'm just going to talk and you're just going to listen and you can do what you like if you are still out there well the world probably just came down on your head but if there's anyone who can make it through all that, it's you.
1:17:10There was a point in my life when a friend reached out to me and told me there was something better out there. And it occurs to me that I can't just hope that happens to you too. I might have to be that voice for you. So here goes. one day after the dust settles probably sooner than you think you're going to be able to travel again and when you can you'll probably think to yourself all right well where is the next unstable unicorn. Instead of doing that, though, I think you should give something a try. On Earth, there's a mountain called Mount Hood, a nice big one, like the one you're supposed to be living on.
1:18:25And on that mountain is a strange little town called Hood's Pocket. And in that town is a bar, the kind you like. You should walk inside that bar. behind that bar might be a friendly face and you might look at that friendly face and see the rest of your life like I did
1:19:05you probably don't know that you deserve to be loved so I thought I'd call you and tell you that you do. Good luck out there. La Pusfeia.
1:19:59Okay, I'm about to bring up the sail. Are you ready? Virg? I'm going to be honest with you. I'm freaking out right now. What? I am. Because we're on a boat? I think so. Virg. I know. That's ridiculous. I know that. Are you... Are you scared of the water? Maybe. No. And you didn't know this about yourself? Obviously not. You fly spaceships around. Correct. Yep. This is a small sailboat on a very, very shallow lake. I'm not saying it makes any sense. Okay. Okay. I would be concerned for you, but it is way too adorable. Deidre. Come here.
1:21:08I don't think I can move. Okay, well, just pretend that the six-foot-deep water is the void of space, and you'll feel much safer. Very, very fucking funny. Come here. Come sit between my legs. Oh, fucking hell. You can do it. Shh. Shh. I'm gonna die. I'm gonna die. Oh, fuck.
1:21:42There you go. Oh, that felt like a million, million miles. You are now safe. And what happens next? Next, I'm going to pull this rope, and that will bring up the sail. And then the wind will pick up, and it will carry us across the water. and even though the wind is just taking this tiny sailboat across a small lake you're going to feel free. Freer than you've ever felt. You are going to feel like you can go anywhere. It's just you and the wind and the sky. Are you ready? I'm ready. Here we go.
1:22:55Here we go. This is Bert Bert, broadcasting on The Undersignal. Theoretically. For the last month, I have been spending time with the people of Hood's Pocket, just a couple of hours outside of Raxias, and today is a big day for them. Today is a big day for them for a totally ridiculous reason. Today, they are going to disappear. You heard me. Poof, listeners. The people of Hood's Pocket claim that their mountain moves. Every few months, the mountain disappears and reappears out there somewhere in time and space. Now, my listeners, you are probably thinking to yourself, Burt Burt, that sounds insane.
1:23:41And you would be correct. It is fucking nuts, listeners. And yet, here your dutiful reporter is, standing here at the base of the mountain with a large crowd, while we all wait for it to disappear. I've been polling the crowd here, and the percentage of people who actually believe the mountain is going to disappear is exactly zero. But that hasn't stopped them from turning it into a little community event. They are selling t-shirts. You can even get a fun cocktail served in a commemorative mountain-shaped cup, which I am absolutely not drinking from right now because that would be journalistic malpractice.
1:24:22So, what am I doing here? What am I doing here, listeners? Well, I guess my curiosity got the better of me. I'm a logical person. I let my intellect rule my actions. I'm not prone to superstition. But there is this one thing. The mountain that they all claim is about to zip away into the cosmos, it doesn't appear on any topographical maps. Weird, right? I'm no geologist, but I'm pretty sure that mountains don't just show up. And then, added to that, are the people who live there. They are very strange people. Somehow all earthlings, except for one. And, well, they're very kind, is what they are.
1:25:10Definitely not your typical residence of Rax Prime. Over the past month, I have collected quite a few stories about these people that I will definitely report out to you all, and the off chance that this mountain disappears in a few seconds. But I'm not actually broadcasting right now to talk to you about mountains that will almost surely not disappear, or the odd people who live on this definitely not disappearing mountain. I am here talking to you because the world ended. For all of us. The world that we depended on for generations disappeared in the span of just a few days, leaving us all out here in the darkness.
1:25:54And what I'm sure is beginning all over the triad is the slow and near-impossible project of putting it all back together again. How do we do that? Where do we start? well as i said for the past month i have been hanging out in a small town in the mountains it's a pretty ridiculous place their mayor is a dog but they care for each other they're all very different everyone's got a fun eccentricity but they seem to wake up in the morning and go to sleep at night genuinely giving a shit about each other. That part shouldn't be shocking, but it is. It's almost enough to melt this reporter's cold, cold heart, and I plan on taking that with me as a lesson as we try and rebuild our world.
1:26:52Or maybe build it for the first time. So, I'm a little bit inspired by this tiny town. Ugh, if only they weren't all terminally insane people who thought they lived on a traveling mountain. Oh, the countdown has begun. Let's watch this nonsense.
1:27:24Get the fuck out of here!
1:28:12Eldon, how much time? 45 seconds out. Okay, everyone, this is it. Stick to the plan, and we should be fine. We're as ready as we can be, Leaf. This is fucking insane. Yes, it most definitely is.
1:28:43Holy shit!
1:29:02Find a common frequency. I have it. Go. Is anyone out there? It's Leif. Can you hear me?
1:29:14Show up any time, dick.
