In short

The Horizon crew deals with an incoming “city killer” battleship (Alex P. Keaton) and a refugee influx, then executes a high-stakes plan to stop the Ted Empire—only for it to backfire into a system-wide collapse of warp gates. The episode ends with a new faster-than-light communications relay being broadcast to reconnect the Triad.

Guest backgrounds (in-episode characters)

No podcast guests are introduced. The “guests” are recurring characters and allies: Leif (Ted Empire conspirator), Gauls (partner in the plot), Steve (planner/organizer), Doug (golden-clipboard organizer), Eldon/Trinket/Frank (crew), June (negotiator who wins “Sir Party Animal”), Deidre (boss; disguised as Giga), Lady Lazarus (surgeon), Slabs McTerps (mercenary leader), Bulb (Truscan tech), Gort (ship AI), Verge (ally), plus “Ted bots” and “Huskins” (crew/forces).

Key claims

  • The Ted Empire’s strategy is to create chaos so they can “save” survivors and seize control.
  • The warp-gate network is powered by a Dyson Sphere; disabling gates causes star-gate “burning” and a 72-hour virus-like spread.
  • A comms relay (cow catcher + comms array) will embed interface info in broadcasts so the Triad can message despite gate loss.

Notable examples

  • Refugees are processed into abandoned houses; “KBS 1017” must face west.
  • Hood’s Pocket is targeted by a secondary payload.
  • Steve drives snowplows to evacuate/redirect during Ted bot attacks.
  • Frank and Verge help access a warp-gate data port; the “Ted Slayer” triggers cascading gate failure.
  • Giga later announces the FTL comms relay and Bulb promises new probes and FTL engines.

0:00Today's episode is brought to you by Quince. One thing I love about summer in Los Angeles is how easy everything gets. The days slow down a little, find myself reaching for the same comfortable sort of go anywhere pieces again and again. That's why I keep coming back to Quince. They focus on well-made essentials that just become the staples you actually live in all season. They're 100 % European linen shirts and pants. They're breathable. They're easy to throw on and start at just$34. The tees are soft enough to live in all day. And the lightweight cotton sweaters are perfect for when the nights finally cool off.

0:36Everything's priced 50 % to 80 % less than similar brands. They work directly with ethical factories and cut out the middleman. So you're paying for the quality, not the markup. I've got a bunch of quince linen in my closet right now, and it's really great. It's very comfortable. It's high quality. And I keep thinking it's not real. I keep wondering how this could possibly happen, but it's very affordable, very quality stuff. It's hard to go wrong with it. Make your summer wardrobe feel easier. Go to quince.com slash burger for free shipping on your orders and 365-day returns. Now available in Canada too.

Midnight Burger is brought to you today by Shaker and Spoon, where you can get$20 off of any subscription by going to Shaker and Spoon dot com slash Midnight Burger. Cast members and avid cocktail makers, Neil and Julie, gave Shaker and Spoon a try. It's a cute little box and you open it up and it's filled with a whole bunch of recyclable packaging material and cute little bottles and fun instructions and really cute written postcards with recipes. Each monthly box arrives with three original recipes created by world-class bartenders, as well as enough ingredients for 12 cocktails, four from each recipe.

2:05I mean, I've got a pretty solid bar by most like home bar standards, but I don't like get things that they sent. Like I don't go out and buy black pepper walnut bitters and like cardamom bitters. And they had a bunch of spice syrups mixed up and stuff. Each box revolves around one type of liquor. So just add one bottle of liquor and you're ready to go. It's all very clear because everything's labeled and each cocktail has its own ingredient card or instructions card. so that each each one has its own recipe and like backstory and everything on a card so yeah it's all easy to figure out they'll have everything you need uh except for the egg there are even two enormous lemons in there there's actual fruit in there lemons fresh citrus so the only thing we needed was booze and for one of the cocktails we needed an egg they didn't send an egg which i think is prudent good idea you can learn new techniques while creating excellent craft cocktails They have sourced these cocktails from people in the business.

3:03And like, I'm checking the CVs on some of the people that they dropped. And they're like, legit heavy hitters working at serious cocktail bars. It's also a great gift idea. Literally all you need to know about your gifty is their email address. I think it would be good for really smart, cool, and beautiful people. Oh, like our listeners. Yes. And one of the cool things here is that there's enough to make three different cocktails and to make four of each. So you could make it like a little social thing, right? Like have you people over. Hey, I got my new Shaker and Spoon box. Let's come over Friday night.

3:37Let's see what these are. Going out to the bar has become a little more complicated these days. So throw an epic cocktail party at home and save$20 off any subscription by going to shakerandspoon.com slash midnightburger.

4:04In the big rock candy mountain, you never clean your socks. And the little streams of alcohol come trickling down the rocks. Hello? Hello. Coffee? Oh. No, thank you. Ooh, right. Already started the day with burdock root tea or something? I actually did. How did you know? Oh, I didn't. I was joking. Well, it flushes out the toxins. Whatever. You're in a good mood. I am. I have found the key to happiness. Oh, have you? Oh, please share. All week long, throughout the day, I have been doing this. Eldon? Hey, Eldon.

5:01Eldon and nothing. It's been amazing. Well, I can do that all the time. Is that why I'm so happy? Maybe. Do you want to borrow my rotary phone? No, I think I'll go one step further. I am going to get one of those hand-cranked ones. I'll have to stand at the wall to use it. Oh, maybe just a telegraph. No, even further. A couple of tin cans. Some string? Yes. So, do you want to hear the news from the town square or not? Not. Two more minutes. Okay. How are you doing?

5:53I'm okay. The mountain is okay. Natural systems are always more resilient than we think they are. I was feeling pretty sick for a couple of days. Well, luckily, you had some burdock tea. Yes, Frank. Luckily.

6:23I was worried about you for a second. I know. I'll be okay. Hmm. We need to watch the third movie. What's it called? Return of the Jedi. Right. But maybe not the most important thing right now. I don't know. That guy is frozen in that thing, and he's just going to stay frozen until I watch the next movie. Hmm. Good point. Spoiler alert. He'll be fine. Okay, but as soon as all this is over, we're getting back to it. Okay.

7:08Speaking of which... Okay, fine. What's the news? Refugees. Refugees? Everyone in the big city is worried that something bad is coming. Well, that is almost certainly true. And some of them think they might be safer here in town. And that is almost certainly not true. Regardless, we've got a bunch of abandoned houses up here from when people initially fled town. And people are trying to move in. Really? Yes. How many people? I don't know. Okay. Well, I hope Steve has a plan. You hope Steve has a plan? I do. I do. He is the man with the plan. I'm sorry. Do you hear the words that are coming out of your mouth?

8:03I'm serious. You can't be. Why? Hey, it was Steve's plan that got us this far. I'm sure he'll have another plan up his sleeve. Whoa, that is not the reaction. That is not the reaction I was expecting. Well, I can be full of surprises, Trinket. Wait, why do I have to be the dependable one? Because it's freaking me out. Well, look, here's what's going to happen. Steve is going to walk around like he's the mayor, right? Or, sorry, deputy mayor. And he's going to start solving problems left and right. He is Mr. Solutions, that guy. I think this is going to take a little more organization than Steve is capable of.

8:56I know. I know. But you know what's going to happen next? Huh? Doug is going to happen. Doug is going to get out his golden clipboard and start organizing things. He's going to have a list of all the vacant houses and who's moving into each one. He is going to check off boxes. The man loves checking off boxes. So, you're fine with a bunch of strangers suddenly moving to town? What am I going to do about it? Do a tantrum like you usually do? I do object to the word tantrum, first of all. Don't get me wrong. I'm loving this attitude. It is very strange coming from you. I worry about the sarcasm levels.

9:45Nope. No sarcasm. I'm serious. Steve's got this. Who are you? I am a guy who has just spent a week with no one bothering him, and it has been fucking fantastic, Trinket. More of that, please. You're not just sitting there waiting for this to go horribly wrong, are you? No, Trinket, we used to be a town full of fucking morons. What are you talking about? Fucking morons, Trinket. But now, look at us. I mean, I do have to say I didn't see us as a group that was capable of freeing thousands of slaves and fighting off space pirates. Right? Remember Charlie DeLambert? Kind of. She collected something, right?

10:36Obsessively. Watches. Right. But she wasn't a collector. No, she was not. It was kind of pathological. But if it had an hour hand and a minute hand, she had to take it home and file it away. Oh, yeah. I heard she had a lot of them. She had some sort of problem with her septic tank. She wanted me to look at this one time. So I'm walking through her house, and it's just shoebox after shoebox of these watches. This was during the era where everyone was getting a digital watch. So nobody wanted an old school watch anymore. And I say to her, Charlie, what's with all the watches? And she couldn't really explain it.

11:23She just said, I don't know, Frank, where are they all going to go? Oh, I love that. But also, where are you taking me with this story? Stay with me. I go by her house one day. This was years ago. And she's packing up her stuff, moving away. I ask her what's going on. And she says that she bought a mango farm in Java. What? Yeah. Because one of the watches she obsessively kept had a name engraved on the back. Alexei Leonov. He was a cosmonaut in the 70s. That watch had been on board the friggin Soyuz capsule. She sold it through a Russian auction house for an amount of money that I don't want to say out loud because it makes me angry.

12:18Holy shit! So, the day before she sold that watch, she was a nutcase with a hoarding problem. The day after? Uh-huh. A genius. So, everybody made fun of Tavrok back on Earth. How many lives did he save the other night? I mean, none of us fit in back on Earth now. I mean, look at us. That's really beautiful, Frank. Like I said, it has been a fantastic week. Frank.

13:00Frank, are you there? Frank, I don't think he's receiving me yet. We're here, Eldon. Trinket, where's Frank? Oh, he's here. Is he trapped under something? Why isn't he speaking? Stop. No. Don't take this the wrong way, but I think Frank's been enjoying the week off. I see. Well, I hope you're well-rested, Frank. all hell's about to break loose.

14:21Gort, wake up. Gort is awake. What's the traffic like on the other end of the warp gate? Gate traffic monitors are unavailable. Why? Monitors disabled. I see. They want me going in blind. Doesn't matter. Incoming communication from TET Command Station Delta. I was waiting for this. Put it through. So, should I be worried that the most dangerous ship in the Triad is suddenly on the move, or am I just being a worrywart? Hello, gulls. I thought your raiding days were behind you, Leif. It's a special situation. Yes, I've been hearing about your special situation. What the hell is going on in your world?

15:00Nothing to worry about. Nothing to worry about? Nothing I can't handle. So, you're telling me there wasn't a massive explosion emanating from the galaxy brain a few days ago? You're not spying on me, are you, Gulls? Who, me? We have a wonderful working relationship, Leif. One built on mutual trust. I'm glad to hear that. If you're having problems in your backyard, I just thought I should remind you that we share the same backyard. I'm about to solve our mutual Raxius problem. Really? By the time I'm done, the Iron Quadrant will be ready for development. Plenty of resources, no organized societies.

15:45It'll be Christmas morning for the Ted Empire by the time I'm done. That sounds enticing, Leif. But then again, so do most fantastical things. It's not a fantasy. I should have done this a long time ago. Should have done what a long time ago? We've been trying to take over the infrastructure of Raxius and make it our own. That was a mistake. The city's inherently out of control. And your solution? Destroy the city. Destroy it? We're throwing good money after bad trying to control it. Well, I'm no expert on intergalactic conquest. Oh, wait. Yes, I am. It's going to be fine. What's your plan for the refugees?

16:28Minsky can handle the refugees. The dead people won't be missed. This is not how the Ted Empire likes to do business, Lade. Which is why you work with me. I do the things you don't like to do. And if things just become more chaotic? That's enough performative hand-wringing, Gauls. I know you're already salivating over having a whole new quadrant to plunder. I create the chaos, and the Teds get to swoop in as the benevolent saviors, handing out blankets to the survivors. And that will be that. The last bit of the triad will be controlled by the both of us. We'll finally be at the top of the shit pile.

17:18Very well. It's a risk, but the risk falls squarely on you, which is how we like it. There's something you can do to speed this along, though. And what's that? I just need to borrow a few things. The sooner this is over, the better. Well, what's mine is yours, of course. Have a Tednot meet us at the warp gate. Very well. Well, I'm detecting a bit of a personal agenda on your part, Leif. What the fuck do you care? I don't. Do you want to know why? Because it's never personal for the Ted Empire. You let emotions get involved, and that's when empires come falling to the ground. Thanks for the advice.

18:00I'd have some ships waiting outside the gate to Raxias if I were you. The shit's going to get messy. Well, best of luck, Leif. And if you don't make it out alive, it's been a pleasure working with you. Yeah. I hated every minute of it. Now, now. Remember what I said. Don't make it personal. It's all I've got left. All right, y 'all. Listen up. We need everybody to have a little patience. We're trying to find a place for everybody. And there's a... Well, there's a whole lot of you. I need the folks who have already signed up with Doug to go ahead and have a seat. And if you haven't checked in with Doug, please form a single line over here.

18:51Hello. Hi. Hi, everyone. I'm going to need a few things, your name and the number of people in your party and any special considerations we need to take into account. So, like, I'm already hearing that people from KBS 1017 have to live in houses that face west. Huh. Well, urban planning on your planet must be a nightmare, right? Excuse me? So real quick, before we get started, Donnie Darko, a.k.a. Darko the Destroyer, we do have a house available with a nice flower bed as you requested. So just sit tight and we'll get you some keys, okay? All right, everyone, one line, please. Excuse me, Edgy Steve?

19:44Oh, hey. Hey, it's just Steve. Okay, Steve. I'm Giga. Yeah, I've seen you around. You're from, wait, don't tell me, Anderho. Oh, yeah, I am. How did you know that? I'll pay attention, Giga. Hey, are you looking for a place? No, I'm not. I need to warn you guys about something. Warn us? About what? You're in danger. The whole city is, too. It's really bad. Oh, I see. Let me guess. There's a great big ship coming and it's going to kill us all. Yeah, how did you know? We're on it, Giga. Steve, are you there? Oh, hey, Eldon, what's up? Coming in for a landing now. Is everyone in the sheep's eye? Yeah, we're ready.

20:37Why is everyone cheering? Because we're the good guys. Hello, Hood's Pocket! Welcome back, y 'all! I need to be greeted like this everywhere I go. It freaks me out a little bit. Hey, we're all ready to go inside, y 'all. Hey, we'll be right behind you. Who's your friend? Oh, this is Giga. Why is she staring at me? Giga? That's... Giga. Huh? Giga, it's me. Who?

21:11Oh, shit. Pink Deidre? Hey, Doug, Doug, check this out. What? Oh. It's me. Holy shit. Hi. Misty? Yeah, um, I was in disguise. Okay, that's... Deidre... that's my boss over there. Oh, shit. Right. Um, you know how sometimes people have an evil twin? I guess? Well, he's the opposite. Okay. Look, I don't have time to explain right now. I am so glad you got out of the galaxy, Brain. We've got to go in there and have a meeting. That's Virge. Yes, I'll explain that too. Um, I know, it is really confusing. Wait here and I'll be right back. Sure. Hello and welcome, space adventurers. Birch, you look like shit.

22:03Well, I got shot a couple of times. Well, Jesus Christ, duck next time, dummy. Why didn't I think of that? How many dozens of drinks can I get you? Three dozen, please. And please tell me there are some cigarettes back there. Frank! Leif! We have some great news. What's that? We are making you Hood's Pocket Employee of the Month. I can die now. Yes. Deidre, sit down. Welcome back. Hey, what did I miss? Well, Frank's been in a good mood lately, and it's making all of us uncomfortable. Hello, everyone. Sorry I'm late. Very unmilitary of me. Someone asked me for my autograph out there. We're so hot right now.

22:49I'm going to release a children's book and a cosmetics line. Has the meeting already started? What did I miss? The meeting hasn't started, but let's get to it. Steve? Yeah, what? Start the meeting. Me? Yeah, my man. Go for it. Uh, okay. Uh, yeah, sure. Okay. Um, welcome back to the away team. Thank you. It's great to have you all back, but trouble is on the way. Right, Eldon? The name of the ship is the Alex P. Keaton. Don't ask. It's a massive starship that is armed to the teeth. Not the least of its armaments is an 80-ton rail gun, a Byzantine but effective weapon that launches an 80-ton projectile across very long distances.

23:41It's a city killer. Luckily for us, we had a head start, and the ship is quite slow, but it will be crossing the warp gate into this quadrant any time now. Is this like the Death Star? Who's been showing Trinket Star Wars? She insisted we watch it. I'm so proud of you! Trinket! It's not a bad equivalency, Trinket. So maybe it has a secret place where we can shoot something into it and the whole thing explodes. It doesn't. Really? An insult to engineers everywhere, that movie. So, uh, guys, I am no expert, but last time I checked, 80 tons was heavy. It is, Frank. An army of psychotic zombies is one thing.

24:30how are we supposed to defend against an 80-ton bullet fired from space? We, uh, we have a plan for that. It's unconventional. It's crazy. Well, we've had some crazy plans in the past. Not this one. Chef's kiss life. Oh. I can't wait to hear this. What's the plan? Let's save that for the end. While in transit, I asked all of you to come up with options to defend the town. What have you come up with? I mean, speaking of crazy plans, Celeste? Right. Well, we have some weapons at the base, sure. But since we were primarily a research station, we weren't armed to the teeth or anything. Yeah, Earth weapons aren't going to be much use in this case.

25:15But, um, well, I've been seeing someone. And, well, it's very new, but, you know, it's been very intense. What are we talking about? She's fucking Slabs McTerps. What? Oh, you heard me. Is that the spiky guy? Oh, yeah. You're fucking Slabs McTerps? He is. How? Carefully, I would imagine. I'd like to frame it in another way. He's really quite charming. That's true, actually. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. Spikes? Guys, this is great news, because I thought we were running out of things to make fun of Celeste for. But can someone read me in here? Slabs McTerps and his beautiful boys. They're a very effective army of mercenaries who are currently encamped outside of Raxias.

26:09Ah, and Celeste is dating him? Thank you, Frank. Yes, we're dating. Holy shit, Celeste. I'm a little out of my comfort zone. Because of the poisonous spikes. But it's been good for me. No, no, wait, no, the spikes are poisonous? Easy there, Doug, you've got a lizard girlfriend. Oh, no, please don't say that. Okay. Okay, so, I'm at a loss for words. Long story short, he's offered to help. So, we're hiring mercenaries? He said he'd do it for free. He'll do it for free, but he's going to tax that ass, am I right, everybody? June. All right, everyone, let's focus. Obviously, we'll need to work out the specifics with Slabs McTurps.

26:53Let's keep moving. Steve, what else? Okay. You all also said that Raxias needed to be a united front before all this shit goes down. We've got the city pretty much behind us, but, well, there is one holdout. The guy who controls the scrapyards and the chop shops on the north end of the city isn't playing ball. So we think he needs a bit of a personal touch. And that's where I come in. Oh, God. You're going to send June to talk to this guy? Hey! They call him Sir Party Animal. Oh. See? Finally, June, your time to shine. I'll head into town and I'll meet with this guy. He's going to love me. Well, it's sounding like some people might get hurt during all of this, so I'm going to head over to my place and make sure it's a healing environment.

27:43And I will keep things organized out there and try to get, you know, as many people indoors as I can. And I guess I'll open up the bar. Okay. Looks like everybody else has a job. What am I doing? Well, you're with me, Frank. What are we doing? Oh, buddy, it's going to be fun. That's everything on our end, Eldon. What's the rest of the plan? Life. Okay, okay. I'm sorry, everyone. Oh, guys, what happened to our line? We had such a good line going. Come on, you all. If you want a roof over your head, you gotta stand in line for it. Where is she? Right over there. Okay. Um, anyone else surprised that Celeste's sexual prowess is what's keeping the town safe?

28:35June, for the last time, it's a deeply emotional relationship. I know, but that's not as funny. Giga? Um, hi? I'm sure this is disorienting. It really is. I promise. I'm not him. Look. Look at my arm. Does he have an arm like this? No. No, I guess he doesn't. I appreciate you trying to warn the town about him. Well, it's just, it's a nice town. It is. It really is. Deidre was telling me you're a network specialist. Yeah. Okay. I need your help with something. With what? Head over to the Horizon Motel. Talk to a Truscan named Bulb. He and his brothers are working on something in the parking lot.

29:27We need a full array package, but it needs to be about... Yay big. We've only got so much room. Can you do that? Yeah, I think so. What's it for? Talking to people. Sure, but... Bulb will explain everything. I don't think either of us wants Etruscan setting up an array package. No, that'd be bad. Everything will make sense soon. Okay. Um, I like this version of you better. Me too, Giga. Leif. Yeah? Slabs McTurps and his beautiful boys are on the way. It might be a good idea to make yourself scarce. Everybody's seen my face. Darkly seems to have done a very good job at keeping his face out of the public eye, so it hasn't been an issue thus far.

30:12However, someone as high profile as Slabs may know your face. I guess you're right. Hey, Eldon? Yes? There are a bunch of people in my shop. Yes. Once again, Trinket, if you had a phone, I could tell you this. Well, we were just in the meeting. I wasn't running the meeting. Who are they? That is Lady Lazarus and her assistants. She's a surgeon who has volunteered her services for whatever lies ahead today. I thought that was my job. Trinket, you're an essential part of the town, but that doesn't make you into a doctor. Let's let that be the purview of the professionals and reallocate your talents elsewhere.

30:48Just because I don't practice traditional medicine doesn't... Trinket, you can't do a skin graft with a chamomile poultice. You need an actual surgeon. Isn't Lady Lazarus a cosmetic surgeon? She's still a surgeon. Well, what am I supposed to do then? You should hang with us. I've got to stay out of the fray in case anyone recognizes me. Also, Trinket, your extrasensory perception of the mountain could be very helpful from a tactical standpoint. Unless you've learned some new spells, do you know Magic Missile? No, Leif. Look, I'd appreciate it if you stuck with us. It's going to be a weird day for me.

Read the full transcript

31:24Yeah? Yeah. Yeah. I can see it on you. Okay. What are we doing first? Shop and go. Okay. After that, let's head higher up the mountain, get a bird's eye view. What's going on, Leif? You ever done the wrong thing to do the right thing? Tell me more.

31:50I like the pink alien suit. I think we should keep it. I think we should. It's only fair if you get to be a human and an alien, I should get to as well. Well, after all, I'm sure I'll have to save you from the evil clutches of a madman again someday. God, you are such a damsel in distress. I know. I'm swooning. I was tied to the railroad tracks, Deetra. Maybe we can trade off. I'll be the one who gets saved from the bad guy next time. Oh, that sounds fun. What are you going to wear? Whatever you want.

32:30I love you so fucking much. I love you too.

32:38So, um, this plan sounds pretty extreme. Are we sure this is a good idea? I honestly don't know. I don't know how to feel about it. I mean, I know that we need to do something. and this is the only plan that might work. Hey, Verge, your friend the mercenary is here. You want to come say hello? Oh, shit. Come on, you have to meet this guy. Okay.

33:18My love. Hey, sweetie. As requested, I have arrived with my beautiful boys. Thank you so much. Anything to gaze once again into your eyes, my dearest. Oh, stop it. This must be the Frank. Nope, just Frank. I have heard tales of you, Frank. Is it true you cannot be broken? Only my heart, Slabs. Ah, I am the same. You wouldn't think it to look at me, but Slabs McTerps has a rich emotional life. Hmm, you don't say. We watched the fault in our stars together. I was ruined. Okay. I love Ansel Elgort. Okay, yeah. That's great. So, Slabs, you're telling me you and your boys are going to patrol the streets for free?

34:08Because I'm told you're a mercenary. We are soldiers for hire, Frank, and we are the greatest in the realm. But we have one price that we hold sacred above all. We do this one for love, my beautiful boys.

34:25You see, we are nothing if not romantics. Okay. But in addition to being romantics, we are also terrifying murderers, so worry not. Holy shit, Celeste. I can't help it. He's boyfriend material. Verge, I see you have unveiled your paramour to me. Slabs, this is Deidre. Hi. Deidre, you are a vision. Thanks. Celeste and I are very keen to have a double date with you. Oh, my God. Oh, I'd love to, Slabsy. But Frank and I have to go. Duty calls. A shame. Let us go inside, then. I shall tell you tales of Virge's heroism. Oh, that sounds great. We will drink. My dear, what is that thing I cannot have?

35:14Red wine. I cannot have red wine, Frank. Okay. Because of the tannins. 100%. Yes. You want to stay away from those, Slabs. Let's go, Frank. Verge, before you depart. Geo!

35:32I thought it was best I return this to you. What is that? Verge gave it to me long ago and said to return it should we see each other again. What is it? It's a lockbox. I trust you remember the passphrase. Uh, yeah. Yeah, I do. Well, thanks, Slabsy. My dear, let us drink so that I may gaze into your eyes one last time before battle. Okay. Good luck, you guys. Thanks, Celeste. Verge? What is that? It's a... It's a lockbox. It's just a lockbox with a passcode. So that belongs to the Verge from this universe. Yeah, I guess so. What's in it? I don't know. Should you open it?

36:27Baby? Not yet. Keep it behind the bar, okay? We'll open it together when I get back. Okay. Be careful. I will. Don't have too much fun without me, okay? Okay.

37:06Hello. I'd like to speak to Sir Party Animal, please.

37:25Hey, Doug. Oh, hi. Hi. Hello. Um, I don't even know if I should be, you know, in here right now, but I didn't know where else to go. Well, for whatever reason, I feel better with you here. Oh. Okay. Doug, what are you listening to? Oh, uh, bird sounds. Uh-huh. Mm-hmm. Oh, I make recordings of them, and I've got a nice field recorder. So I go out and I make some recordings sometimes. It helps me relax to listen back to them. Are those the starlings? Yes. There's a bunch of starlings that hang out by Trailer Park Row. They mimic sounds that they hear, so some of them still make the sound of a train that used to go by the mountain, you know, back home.

38:12Oh, there it is. Did you manage to get everyone a place to stay tonight? Oh, yeah. Everyone's all put away. Um, what happens next? Now we wait. So, do you think this plan of yours will work, Leif? I don't know, but I think it's the only thing that will. Well, I'm getting a Mars bar. What are you getting? I don't know. Those bird sounds are crazy. I mean, you know, it's an odd sound, but I like it. It's like a million sounds at once. Leif, we need to get you out of here. Yeah, right. I'm going to grab some beers. Doug, remember to start talking to people if you get weird, okay? I mean, I'll definitely get weird.

38:57And I will definitely start talking to people. Good. Okay, let's go. Thanks, Doug. Oh, um, good luck.

39:17Play the Starlings again. Okay.

39:25Weird.

39:35Can I get a recording of that? Oh, um, sure. I can just, um... Just play it into your phone, Doug. I'll archive a copy. Yep, okay, okay. Leif, what's going on? Nothing. Good luck, Doug. Oh, you too.

40:09All right, here it is. It is... What the fuck is it? I have no idea. But, apparently, it's pretty important. Is it a missile? Maybe. You're really asking the wrong guy. Aren't you the leader, though? Me? No. Technically, our leader's a dog. A what? Huskins are on a break. They take a lot of breaks. We've got someone going into town right now. They'll pick up all the things you're going to need. Okay. Hey, Steve, I don't understand what's going on. Right? Why does a missile need a comms array? Again, I have no idea, Giga. But I know that it's important. So I hope you know what you're doing. Me too.

40:53You guys don't even know me. You're just going to give me this important thing to do. Deidre says you're good people. That's all it takes? Around here, that's all it takes. Steve, I'm just tech support for criminals. I don't know if you want me doing this. Giga, I'm a drug dealer. What? Look, sometimes it's not about who you are. It's about what you do when shit hits the fan. Well, the shit's hitting the fan, Giga. What are you going to do?

41:39I like it out here. Yeah? Yeah. It's quiet. This used to be the only place I felt at home. In between destinations. What's it been like, settling down? It's been so strange, Frank. I can tell. You can? Yeah. Yeah, I think we've all been watching it happen. Remember when you first strolled into the horizon? Yeah. It was like a Sergio Leone movie. You watched any of those yet? No. Oh, oh, Burge. We have got to watch some Sergio Leone movies. Burge, you'd love them. There's two kinds of people, my friend. Those with loaded guns and those who dig. You dig? Sounds great. I'll put it on the list. You and Trinket have been watching movies lately.

42:44We have. Mmm. That's interesting. Oh, God, don't get any ideas. Virg, you forget I'm no longer a man. Just a pile of mulch. Oh, yeah, you're a pile of mulch. She's a walking mushroom. It sounds like you're perfect for each other. Burge, I know everybody treats me like I'm the same old curmudgeonly Frank, but... I look down at my hands, and I don't know what they're made of. So, kind of hard to think about much else. There are all kinds of people out there who don't know what they're made of, Frank I made sweet potatoes the other day I didn't think I had it in me So you made sweet potatoes and now you can totally understand my situation?

43:47All I'm saying is sometimes we decide who we are And sometimes we're wrong That's all Copy that. Noted. We're coming up on it now. Look out your window, Frank. Port side. God damn! How far away are we? Thousands of kilometers. We are thousands of kilometers away and it's already that big? As warp gates go, this is mid-sized at best. You can see the ring there. That's where the ships pass through. Then that ring is attached to the Dyson Sphere. What's a Dyson Sphere? The massive sphere it's attached to, there's a star inside it. The sphere captures all of the star's energy and uses it to power the warp gate.

44:44Folding space, as it does, requires a staggering amount of energy. They trapped an entire star? They did. It's impressive technology at an impressive scale. It's what's allowed the Ted Empire to dominate the triad. Oh. I don't know. Everything is too much, Eldon. Agreed. June is looking for you. Oh, good. Okay. Frankie! Frankie! Hello. What are you doing? Oh, you know, traveling through deep space. How have I not been able to go to space yet? How is that fair? Well, I guess when the day's issue involves someone named Sir Party Animal, your talents are demanded elsewhere. I've made my bet. You have.

45:38You have. How's that going, by the way? Just fine. I have met with Sir Party Animal, and he's on board. I have unified the city, Frank. How'd you do it? I introduced myself as June, Pants Darts champion. He didn't stand a chance. Always the life of the party, June. Yeah. Yeah, I guess. I don't know. Frankie, is it weird that I'm in the middle of a massive party on an alien planet, and all I want to do is go hang out at my boyfriend's cabin? Is it over? Am I washed up? June, all I want to do is go hang out at your boyfriend's cabin. Am I old? June. Don't say it. June, we have been old for some time now.

46:31That's terrible. It is way back in the rearview mirror, June. That's so unfortunate. On the bright side, it's only on the outside, though. Internally, you have been acting like a 17-year-old for a couple of decades now. Hey, June, compared to me, you're still technically a teenager. Ooh, I like that. Okay, I'm now exclusively hanging out with Verge. I'm done with you senior citizens. More quality time for me and Tarvok, then. Frankie. I love you, stupid. Don't fuck it up out there. Hey, if I don't make it back, I leave the ownership of the Horizon to you. You bastard. Why did you do that to me?

47:26Love you. Let's switch over to ghost power. Have you found the dead zone yet? I found it. Frank, we are going to power down almost everything and move into a dead zone. Every gate has an area where ships can't see you when they exit the gate. and it's where raiders and rimrunners hang out. Okay. What happens after that? We're waiting for the Alex P. Keaton to exit the warp gate. As soon as it does, we move in. Okay. So, at any point, are we going to talk about how the most terrifying battleship in the galaxy is named after a character from an 80s sitcom? We can talk about it if you like. Would you like to hear the story?

48:03No. I think hearing that story will ruin the nice time I'm having. Speaking of ruining your nice time, Here it comes. We're in the dead zone. He shouldn't see us.

48:19Oh, Jesus Christ! We warned you it was big. You guys, no! No, you did not! You guys, that is not a ship! That is the state of fucking New Hampshire! The original owner had a great admiration for an old warlord named Emperor Bugbug, who had a ship the size of a moon. The only reason this ship isn't that size is because it had to fit through a warp gate. What's the huge thing on top of it? That's the railgun. Raxias will be within range of it in approximately two hours. Leif? Yeah. He's here. Okay. Wait until the coast is clear, then move in. Thanks for supporting the Fable and Folly Network. Here's another show we know you'll love.

49:00Attention, passengers. If you can hear me right now, you're actually aboard our spaceship, the STS-45 Cloud Breather. We're a colony ship on a multi-year voyage through uncharted space, just trying to reach our new home. And you're listening to the ship's local station, Deep Space Radio. I bring you interviews. Hello passengers, it's me, the captain. Captain Donald, that is. Live event coverage. And even the occasional pirated audio. So, hey. Hey yourself. And it's a good thing I do. Because I get the feeling there's something more to this stretch of uncharted space than meets the eye. There's a reason you're not supposed to create sentient programs.

49:39It seems this pyramid of metal is acting as a kind of conduit. Tune in for a new broadcast every weekday morning. Each season brings a new adventure that you can take right alongside us on Discord. So strap in and hold on to something. Because I'm Colin Gossel, and this is Deep Space Radio.

50:00Truckers aren't just moving goods. They're making sure bakers get their chocolate chips and hotels get their tiny soaps. But truckers can't do this if they're not on the road. That's why Progressive has over 360 heavy truck employees to help truckers stay on time and on track. Quote truck insurance today in as little as eight minutes at ProgressiveCommercial.com, Progressive Casualty Insurance Company and Affiliates. How long until the rail gun is aligned? One hour and 43 minutes. Prepare the secondary payload for launch. While we wait for Raxius to get aligned, we're going to launch the secondary payload at a small town outside of Raxius.

50:38Apparently, it's called Hood's Pocket. Location not available in database. What? Location Hood's Pocket is not registered. What the fuck? Bring up the live satellite feed. Live feed on screen. Okay. There. Do you see it? Topographical map has changed. How can the mountain range have changed? Unknown. Well, fuck it. Whether you can see it or not, launch the payload at that general area. Launching secondary payload. Secondary payload is away. Good. Hope they enjoy it. Incoming transmission from Tucumcari, New Mexico. What? Put it through. Greetings from the land of enchantment. Something tells me you're not calling me from New Mexico.

51:29I'm going shopping. Do you want a turquoise bolo tie? Laugh it up. I'm about to make you regret the past few weeks of your life. I'm rubber in your glue. I hope all this was worth it, whoever you are. Ever think what mom would say to all this? I know I did. Not dad. Dad always thought we were a piece of shit. I never hear his voice in my head. Though I have to say The real tragedy of this world is I hate to say it Dad was right about you I really want to applaud you For an impressive, deep background Deep fake, deep bullshit project You really had me fucked up in the head for a minute But now, I don't even care This is the end of the road for you You could have been so much better, Leif.

52:25I know. And transmission. Uh, Leif? Yeah? Something's not right. Eldon? Multiple projectiles incoming. Okay. Use the deactivation protocols I gave you. They're not working. Why? Because they're not his projectiles. What do you mean? Ted bots.

53:02Shit. Worn slabs. Slabs, we have multiple tech bot crashdowns in the area. I see them. Let them feel the wrath of Disco Inferno. Attention, citizens of Hoodspocket. There is live fire in the streets. Shelter in place until further notice. Ferge, what's your status? Almost there. I can't tell where these things are. That doesn't surprise me. They're inorganic. Where is everyone else? Uh, Deidre, Doug, and Steve are in the sheep's eye. Celeste is in the streets with slabs. It's pretty chaotic down there. Deidre, are you okay? Yeah, I'm okay. Oh, shit! Deidre! Deidre!

53:50Baby? Lave? Yeah? The knife works. Yeah, it does. So fucking hot. Phoenix is in position. All right, guys, get to it. We're up to our asses and Tedbots. Five minutes. Wait, where are Doug and Steve going? Steve, report him, please. Hang tight, you all. We're gonna do something a little crazy Oh god, oh god, oh god Not the time, Steve No, no, just wait, guys It's gonna be great Steve? What the fuck is that? Holy shit Steve, what are you doing? Let's roll! Oh god, oh god, oh god

54:29What are they driving through town? It's the snowplow

54:42It's pocket, baby! I think we got about ten of them. Eleven! Well, how poetic. Leif, we're ready when you are. Okay. Do it.

55:05All right. We have a full magnetic lock on the surface of the warp gate. What have we been looking for? You can see it up ahead. Every warp gate has a series of ports you can jack into for maintenance. And that's where I'm headed? That's it. But how do I keep from floating out into space? Warp gates have their own gravitational pull. It'll be like walking underwater. Oh, okay. Frank, reach out to the seat. Okay. This is it? That's the box it's in. How do I open it? In 1970, Doc Ellis pitched a no-hitter on LSD. Access granted.

55:51This is it? That's it. What is it? It's not on, like, a flash drive, Frank. Wait, what's the name of this thing again? The Ted Slayer. Oh. Okay. Okay. Let's get this over with. Okay. I'm going to bifurcate the cabin, and then it'll just be you in the void, Frank. No, you know, I take back everything I said about liking it out here. Too late. Ready? Sure.

56:31All right, Frank. You won't be able to talk, but I can talk to you through your comms device. Exit the cabin and make your way toward the data port ten feet from the bow of the ship.

56:49And Frank, just in case you were wondering, yes, it does look very creepy to see you walking out there in space. This is like, literally the most unnatural thing I've ever seen. I'm going to assume you're flipping the bird at Eldon right now and not me Almost there, Frank The device you're holding should fit perfectly into the data port Good On my mark, turn it counterclockwise

57:28All right, Verge Just the two of us Any final words for the triad?

57:41Good riddance Very well Frank, turn the device counterclockwise and head back to the ship

58:02Slabs McTerps? Hostile ID confirmed. Slabs McTerps and his beautiful voice. Who the fuck are these people? Incoming transmission from Bowling Green, Kentucky. Oh, for fuck's sake. Hey, Leif. Slabs McTerps? How the hell do you get hooked up with him? Hey, let me talk to you for a second. What? It's over. Oh, it's over, huh? Because you hired a few shitty mercenaries? In 45 minutes, I'd destroy the whole city! I swung by Red's rectangle on the way home.

58:43Hard to believe you left it there after all this time. But I guess that's what I did too, so who am I to judge? After I sprung Verge, I went and got it. I've got a team at the warp gate. They just inserted the cube into a data port and turned it counterclockwise. It's over. Bullshit. Check your gate status. Status check on the Rax Prime gate. Rax Prime gate offline. Diagnostic. Cascading system failure.

59:25There's no way you actually did this. The gate's dead, Leif. And you know what happens when a gate stops being a gate. Without the Dyson Sphere constantly siphoning energy away from the star, the energy inside the star compounds itself and burns brighter and brighter until it eats the entire gate alive. In a few hours, the star will have sucked the entire gate into its core like it never existed. Finally, freeing itself from its prison. On screen.

1:00:15Oh... My God. As you know, the virus will jump from gate to gate for the next 72 hours. All of the stars eating the gates alive. In a week, it'll be like the Ted Empire never existed.

1:00:45You're fucking insane. We're fucking insane, Leif. You didn't just do this to me. You did this to everyone. Do you have any idea what you've done to everyone? Yeah. Yeah, I do.

1:01:19That's on me. Millions of planets. All dependent on each other. I know. You did all this just to fuck me over? I did this for a lot of reasons, Leif.

1:01:49This doesn't stop me, you know. I've still got this railgun, and I still have your location. You're not going to do that, Leif. How do you know? Because you live here now, my friend. You are a citizen of the Iron Quatrant. You and I both know that Raxias is the only major city in the Iron Quadrant. Where are you going to refuel, Leif? Where are you going to resupply? You're going to have to make friends with every single person in that city. But honestly, I'd give them some time. because right now, every single one of them fucking hates you. My advice to you? Go find an unstable unicorn somewhere.

1:02:49Think for a while. Try and come around to the idea that I saved you. You were lashed to the mast of it just as much as everyone else was. Even as a criminal, you were part of the machine. The machine's dying as we speak, Leif. So who are you going to be?

1:03:23Who the fuck are you?

1:03:29There's nobody else here, Leif. It's just you.

1:03:55You are listening to The Undersignal, the voice of the voiceless. Panic in the triad. Citizens all over the system are in race against time as an unstoppable virus sweeps through the starways. From the far reaches of Triangulum to the heart of the Ted Empire, planet after planet disappears from the map. With no other way of traversing the millions of light years between them, with each gate gone, another system is lost in the darkness, cut off forever. What will be the fate of the Triad without this system that has connected us? Will we ever see each other again?

1:04:44Are we on? Okay. Uh, hello? If you're receiving this, I imagine this is the first time you've received a signal from outside your planet in a while. I'm not going to tell you who I am because it doesn't really matter. I don't think any of us can imagine the amount of trauma that the triad just went through and is still going through. It's something too big to fit in your head. Some of you have gone for a really long time without hearing the voices of your family or friends. But you are hearing my voice. And let me tell you why that is. Right now, something is speeding through the triad in a constant loop.

1:05:39It's going faster than anything ever has, and it's broadcasting this message to you right now. At first, this thing was a weapon. I called it a cow catcher. But a change here and there, and the addition of a comms array, and the triad, now has its very first faster-than-light comms relay. All the interface information is embedded in this message. You'll be able to send messages and data to anyone in the triad. You can't be together right now, but I can keep you talking. All that will be managed by one very dutiful Anderhovian. Giga? Uh, hey there, entire triad. I'm Giga. Like you said, I'm from Anderho, but I spent most of my time on Raxias.

1:06:35But that's all of us, right? Who stays on the planet they were born on? So, this is going to work pretty simply. We're going to be using the same comms node you always use, but instead of the signals being sent through a gate, they'll be banked on the node until they're picked up by our probe and sent to the right person on the other side of the triad, or wherever they are. It'll take time at first, but it'll go faster and faster as we get better at it and we get more probes launched. All the technical info you need is embedded in this message. It kind of reminds me of the days of the old coalition.

1:07:16There was a handful of planets and they all knew each other, but they couldn't get to each other yet. So they worked together and they did what they could. I've got a big room full of servers here, and I'm going to be doing everything I can to keep you talking. And while I'm doing that, here's Bulb. Hey, howdy-ho there, citizens of the Triad. Bold Pierre, Planet of the Trusk, local foundry 525. Shout out to my boys back home at the 525. I'm sure you're sitting on your asses right now, you lazy bums. Folks, we're going to be making some new probes for you for a while. We're going to get them whizzing around the Triad, making sure everybody's birthday greetings for Grandma get their own time and whatnot.

1:08:02But that's not the only thing you're going to find on those probes. You're also gonna find some detailed schematics for the fancy new engines that are making these probes run. And these are bona fide faster than light engines, my friends. First to their kind. This is the kind of engine that can change the game, folks. And nothing would make me prouder than to load one of these babies into a ship and send you sailing across the sky. There's only one problem. Going faster than the speed of light is a tendency to turn everybody's head into a freshly baked root pie. We've got the speed and now we need the protection.

1:08:39And that's on you, my friends. All you fancy scientists and scholars out there, it's time for you all to work together and figure out a way how we can get back to each other. Yeah, I believe in you, you pencil necks. Get to work. And here's the promise I make to you. Why don't you crack this little code and it's time for everyone to get a brand new faster than the light ship. The foundries of Trask are gonna fire up like they've never fired up before, baby. We'll go back to the days of the belt. The old Hammerhead himself, right? Yeah, you'll be able to see the glow of the molten steel from across the system.

1:09:17Beautiful. Every ship 100 % reliable and 100 % union made. All right, break's over. That's all from me. I look forward to seeing all your faces again, Triad. Bob out. So, I'm sure most of you are pretty pissed off at me right now. Trust me when I say this was not an easy decision.

1:09:47I'm sure a lot of you are saying, who the fuck does this guy think he is? What makes him think he has the right to make this decision for all of us?

1:09:59But that's kind of the point. The point is, I shouldn't have been able to make this decision. The point is, no one should have been able to. There's just too much power in too few places. All of us were so trapped in it that it would just go on forever. All of us afraid of the pain of changing things. but now if we work together if we truly work together we'll finally be free all of us there'll be no more secret hands directing you where to go and what to do it'll just be us us and the stars

1:11:02this is the last you'll ever hear from me it's all up to you now

1:11:12good luck

1:11:43The Alex P. Keaton has changed course. Probably headed to a shady spot in the quadrant to lick his wounds. Poor guy never knew what hit him. With that ship of his, he'll be able to be the king of this quadrant. Yeah. But that's not what he wants. If he has any sense left in him, he'll grab a skiff and disappear. Start over again. I imagine there will be a lot of that across the triad.

1:12:19Did I do the right thing?

1:12:23That depends what you mean by the right thing Do you mean the option that hurts the least? Because quite often that's not the right thing It was a pretty monstrous thing I just did, Eldon Monstrous? Friends and family separated? Entire planets are going to have to figure out how to survive on their own again Well, not to tut-tut you, Leif, but tut-tut. You didn't knock the triad back to the Stone Age. These are still highly advanced civilizations that, while they can't travel long distances, can still engage in limited interplanetary travel. You're not as monstrous as you may think.

1:13:12I feel like a monster. Well, then I'd remind you what one of your fellow Earthlings once said. What? The old world is dying. The new world struggles to be born. Now is the time of monsters.

1:13:42Many people read that and assume that the monsters will be on the side of the old world, but... I think the monsters will come from the old world and the new. For a while. Like it or not, you are one of these monsters, Leif. Sometimes you're not going to like it.

1:14:11I'm not sure how to feel about that.

1:14:19Leif, you just destroyed the Ted Empire. How about you have a drink or two?

1:14:42There is no greater victory than one shared with your lover. Oh, I agree, sweetie. Your bravery today was unsurpassed, my dear. Are you sure? I feel like I did a lot of hiding behind you. As you should. My hide is resistant to many attacks. I noticed. Though it is helpless against the attacks from your eyes, my love. Oh, stop it. My beautiful boys have decided that, on this day, you should be given your battle name. Uh, my battle name? What is that? Name given to you after your first battle. Oh! Uh, do I want to know what it is? They have pronounced you... Caitlyn, leader of the Unicorn Revolution.

1:15:32Oh! Wow. Uh... I don't get it. Should I get it? I have no idea. The young people, they have so many names for things. I see. Best to just go with it. Okay, so she doesn't bite, so, you know, don't worry about that. But only pet her back. She doesn't like her face touched, okay? Oh, kids, did you know that the Ashlysaurus gets its energy from the sun? Like a plant does. Well, that means that she likes you. So, all right, everyone, take an asparagus and you can feed her. So there I was down in the cave. I said, you listen to me, Francis. You want to get to these refugees? You got to come through me.

1:16:27Long story short, Francis is a pile of scrap metal now. Killer Odd, you owe me pants. Pikeman Stover, two pairs of pants from you. Darth Ox, you have bet pants. And you don't have legs, my friend. What are we supposed to do about this? All right, come on. Next up, let's go. Hey, you see there? That was a whole chair you hit me with. Nothing. Who's next? Buddy, seriously? You're just going to punch me? What's your fist going to do that the chair couldn't do? So now you're injured. That's at least a sprain. A bottle. Oh, really? Guys, get serious here. A bottle? Go get some power tools. Burge. Hey.

1:17:24Sorry, it's so crazy in there. I just said fuck it and they're all serving themselves now. Someone should really make you a drink sometime. Right? Okay, here it is. Are you ready? How are you feeling? How am I feeling about opening a lockbox from an alternate version of me? No idea. I've got no idea. Well, it's not like it doesn't belong to you. You know, from a certain perspective. Yeah. Yeah, okay. How do we open it? The Wandering Mermaid wants you to know the creature from the Black Lagoon and the Little Mermaid are the exact same story. Access granted.

1:18:18What is that? It looks like a hologram cube. It's like a framed photograph, Deidre.

1:18:28Oh.

1:18:33Virg, is that you as a little kid?

1:18:41Baby? Deidre, this appears to be a hologram of Virg's family. Oh my god.

1:18:54That's them. Are you okay? I'm okay.

1:19:05Talk to me. God, there's so many of them. Tell me who's who in this picture.

1:19:16It's, um... The Vapian family structure is a bit different from an Earthling's, Deidre. The family is larger, with several implied roles. Some say there were as many as 20 implied roles. While there are roles in the family that translate roughly to mother and father, there are also implied roles that don't translate well. Okay.

1:19:45Virge? They're all... gone.

1:19:58Eldon, tell me about these roles you're talking about. What does that mean? For example, there is the Rakishet. That person would be the spiritual center of the family, usually in charge of religious ceremonies and... Being a bit of a dreamer. That sounds like Trinket. Then there is the burette. More of an organizer. Keeps that house running. Loves a good list. Doug, for sure. The tough tea. How to describe this? The one who lightens things. A joybringer. A joker. That's June. The teheba. Probably the hardest one to translate. I put simply, the one who will remind the family that they are loved.

1:20:51That's you.

1:20:57Maybe they're not gone.

1:21:05Can we just sit here for a while? We can sit here all night.

1:21:32Trinket? Hey! That time that's missing from my memory, you still think you can get it back? I think so, yeah. Okay. I'm ready. Okay. Let's get started. So, take off your clothes.

1:22:02Uh, what? I'm just kidding. Oh! Come in. Sit down. let's have some tea
