Last time on no lights Claire, I have an antidote so you can get
your memories back. The bad news is that it's going
to be very painful. Your brain activity was a little
off. The charts a lot off the charts
who block milk, mr. Kerrigan, The Syndicate, the a
eyes that are trying to take over the world.
What? And they're all related to n.c.
space, we have to stop and see space.
I'm going as DJ Qualls. I'm gonna need to get some new
threads. You also need to go get your
own. No backseat, medical advice,
thank you. That's my flight vehicle job.
You have, you just go ahead. Are you ready to pick up the
flight vehicle that you can't operate?
Yes, everyone's gonna see us in this.
I like I said it's inconspicuous in a conspicuous way.
Hey, leaving before we touch down with looks like, we're
about to. That's a pretty nice.
Boom box. He got there.
Thanks i-it's very utility utility.
It's it's more than just a boom box, I can store stuff in it.
Ouais, it, it booms Jameson. Jep.
That's a secret. I'll tell people but David you
have to point that out. Yeah, said Jeff's chips really
cool but he takes everything really.
Yeah. So I guess it's it's more style
over substance as they say, it's and reality.
Yeah. My choon Ya.
That's what the kids say and night sitting.
Yeah, that's right. I'm also wondering if the zero g
make me look sad, we're not in zero, g.
Ed, what are you talking about? Not yet.
Well, we'll let you know about ali will though.
Wait, are we actually gonna go to space?
Oh shit. Well, you know, that's actually
a good point, we're probably not gonna be, you know, we're still
kind of suit. That would be cool.
It would be, I want to I want to two that's two votes for space.
We could try to like sneak our way honor.
Schmooze our way. You know DJ Qualls, got the just
look up. Yeah.
Yes. Who's on the list?
To get to space. I want to be on the list to get
to space, shall I start a list? No, not unless Truss.
I'm a list for the launch, I don't know.
We'll have to probably like sleuth it if you don't, just
have it pinned. All your most distant well II,
it's a secure, only you doing the show wasn't very funny.
That's not a Jeb you don't get humor.
Haha, good it. That's why it's more of a
slapstick kind of guy myself. Yeah.
Well, slap you with a stick if you need.
So that's funny that suit that that now I'm coming.
There was was pretty good and as Jeb Giggles, the crew heads
towards the landing pad of this NC space base.
It's about 1,000 feet in the air held up on huge.
Belts and it looks like the only access to the top of it is
really by flight vehicle jumping off.
The edge will require some kind of safety harness, or a
parachute. Wow.
And you land on the south most platform and it looks like a
three leaf clover from above. And as the light vehicle
descends on pad number 3, you feel it.
Clunk onto the ground unless a little steep, sorry about the
harsh Landing. So I just a little Jewel tea.
That's fine. Roll flight vehicle.
All right. Oops, I was role playing hoops.
This is what happened? Last sessions and now you get
feel it. There you go, 12.
Yes, it isn't. It is intended to be landed on.
It is a simple task. You land it nicely, though.
Your level should be higher because you have a chip in that.
Oops, sorry. Then you rolled a Even
installed, I fixed it. But thank you land, the vehicle
and then decide the parking isn't just how you want it.
Rolling a crit 23, well done, you reposition the vehicle.
So that in the event of having to get the fuck out of here,
you'll be able to get in this vehicle super quick Advantage,
perhaps for later something. That I own, it probably should
write down. I'm however, I have a pen.
Are there other vehicles around? You notice as you step out of
the vehicle, retro that there are Scorch marks on the ground,
on these panels around you. There are four Landing panels
and it looks like the other people maybe had a chauffeur or
something. There are no other vehicles here
on the platform, there is, however, a Sparky looking
assistant standing waiting for you holding a College tablet and
a little digital pens and they just looking at you pensively.
Well, I suppose we need to check in.
So let's go check in sweet. The want to them?

Welcome Bal you'd guests this way.
Please walks towards this large building in front of you.
And there are front of you is a large building.
That kind of looks like a tea, there's a large Windows.
You can see into this big hallway and And retro you spot a
few guards walking around kind of doing a little Patrol, but it
looks like they're doing that kind of border patrol.
No one's on alert. Just doing their job.
Yeah. And you walk into this little
Bay Area. Can also take a peep at this
promotional material that I was handed.
Yes, kinda looks like the lighthouse.
It does kind of look like a white house, right?
So you enter this room and there's vending machine, a few
sofas table and little desk. Martin Gets behind the desk,
there's a little jaunty retro Doing a little dance.

idea of you all being VIPs So it is calm down, I'm sorry.
It is a pleasure to meet you all guide you, to make sure to take
my little sticky name, tag and I put it over my right nipple.

mood thread coat jacket. You only see half the name
though. So you only see DJ.
That's it. Oh fun.
You get into the whole way. Yeah, I said the one on the left
standing in front of conference room, a store, there's a guard
standing next to it but he's not really paying attention to any
of you. I guess this is our room.
I walk up to the guard. Can you let us in?
Hi. Yeah, I know that.
Oh oh you're just standing there.
Oh okay. This is like such Easy Money.
Ah, that looks must be nice. Oh thanks, thanks.
I'm a DJ and training. I just walk past them.
Damn, I see a couple vending machines.
Is there anything cool in these vending machines?
I think all these machines, a few interesting items in one of
the vending machine. There's a paper cosplay costume
of an astronaut, there are some bugs, snacks, some bizarre
capsule toys, some pet wigs, Oh and there are some health hypos
on sale or 70 at ease and an oxygen mask TV.
There are some health, hypos here.
If you're interested actually anyone these seem to be going
below the market rate. I will absolutely take advantage
of that to Health hypos in total in the vending machines and
their 7th. And there's one oxygen mask and
that thing is 150. I will take one of the health
hypos 470. You know what I will buy the
oxygen mask and just put it in my bag just in case, it's not
really your back. Um, if I move some stuff for it,
I didn't stop pulling my bag part.
I move some stuff around. I might let's see and also
trying to do math Look at me actually keeping track of my
money. Okay, dang this one helped.
My Polo, I'll just see there. You are, I'm good, I ain't
buying nothing dude. In walls is all good.
Before we enter the armor to turn to Anna.
Hit theme music for we go in, I turn on the boom box and I Crank
It Up. Hey, no, latency listeners.
It's spoon I pledged a on no latency, but I also produce the
brand new show system switch and it's called systems which
because every few episodes we take our same beloved characters
and throw them into a completely new universe in the form of a
new role. Playing game.
Will go from steampunk to cyberpunk from fantasy, to
sci-fi from romantic comedy too. Dark comedy from D, and D 2 Call
of Cthulhu and everything in between.
So join us on our wrong, through the Multiverse.
By searching for system switch on your favorite podcasting app.
I turn on my Boombox and retro house music starts playing.
I give it about five seconds to let the beat really get really
come in. And then with my right foot,
just kick the doors open and just do my DJ Qualls on Trend
and go. Let's hit a pothole.
And Joe kind of like walks over to Iowa and goes.
So we pretended that way or we don't know each other but we do
know each other. I never got that far.
People know that we know each other you and I but we don't
have to know Teacher Calls. All right little Scamp that way
only God's don't know who DJ Qualls has yeah we know who DJ
Qualls is because he's an Ace International Superstar DJ

room. They're in the room is a tall
man standing on a stage, not wearing a bunch of very tightly
fitted suit pieces and there's one guard in this room.
Right in front of the door and he raises an eyebrow at you.
As you burst into the room of this music thing, the guard just
going to looks at you raises two fingers and points.
If your sofas under the table in the vending machine full of
snacks and food, Sweet. Just nervous right now in my
mind, it's almost kind of like that scene from 9 1989 Batman.
When the Joker enters inside of the museum it's just kind of
doing a little dance around. Hey, what's going on?
Hey, no knocking things over same time.
I'm cool like that. Do you sit down at this section?

corporations and private investors not like you. because
we don't need your money, we're going to get Knights a to eat
Back together, sending a message nowadays in 1980 and the greater
area can be a real problem. Sometimes taking days for people
just to receive and I love you. But now, we're going to change
that here with NC space and get everyone connected instantly and
it starts with our first experiment First Flight vehicle
and c 1 which will be Be launching in just a few hours
right before your eyes. Now for your enjoyment, we're
going to be taking you on a tour of some of the buildings here in
NC space. We hope that you will benefit

Yes, Martin believe, it's seven. Wow, that is it's a 7.
That is absolutely. That is good.
That is bad. Our numbers are great.

we launched. Is that correct?
Yes, yes, please, stay inside. When this spaceship goes in

Platform. Oh, we are have several
astronauts who are under training and none of them know
who is actually going into space.
So that protection, of course. Hmm.
