Delta Green - Iconoclasts 30

[00:00:00] Warning, this game's setting revolves around an active Middle East combat zone and contains references to extreme violence, graphic content and other mature themes.

[00:00:10] Listener discretion is advised.

[00:00:30] Iconic last, a campaign of whores, modern and ancient.

[00:01:00] Some of the paperwork would say that you're from Syria, for example, that you're coming from Morocco.

[00:01:18] I'm texting the Islamic names to you now if you want to Google.

[00:02:18] I'm going to end up on a watch list. I'm probably already on a watch list as a communist.

[00:03:18] I'm assuming Warner isn't going into Mosul.

[00:03:36] We are. So you're shuffling folks around. We will be over the next two days as training finishes.

[00:03:46] Does it make sense for Warner to take somebody else's place in Mosul?

[00:03:50] No, he has, he's useful as a medic but he has fewer skills anywhere else than anybody else does.

[00:03:56] But he does have training in Mosul. He does. There will be threats in Mosul and we may not know anyone else to provide medical attention.

[00:04:05] We're going to a hospital.

[00:04:09] True.

[00:04:10] Iraq is known for its free healthcare, the NHS.

[00:04:15] I'm not worried about getting shot in the hospital.

[00:04:22] How do we know that the hospital isn't ice like?

[00:04:25] No, I get what you're saying.

[00:04:27] But do we want to leave Al-Rabini out by himself?

[00:04:33] Is there any reason why we would swap him for NASA?

[00:04:36] NASA has more talking skills.

[00:04:39] But so do both of those women.

[00:04:41] Right, but the women are going to be able to talk everybody out.

[00:04:45] We're going to need a guy who can and kept danning that guy.

[00:04:49] We need a frontman.

[00:04:51] So does it make sense for either girl to not go in?

[00:04:54] No, I think both of them have skills that are going to be very useful.

[00:04:58] I don't think Mary would not go in at this point.

[00:05:01] She wants to consume the power of the god thing that's loose in Mosul.

[00:05:07] She's very interested in this cult.

[00:05:11] She is taking notes.

[00:05:14] Okay, well then both of my guys will stay out.

[00:05:17] Plus the research assistant goes Pharaoh.

[00:05:19] We're going to need some water out to popper.

[00:05:23] The law and order secret service group, which Arabic phrase correlates to that?

[00:05:28] I'm having trouble finding it.

[00:05:32] So Al-Dalwa is the counterintelligence.

[00:05:35] That's what Al Jiberi is a part of.

[00:05:39] It's not the one you're asking for.

[00:05:41] I'm not asking for the law and order one.

[00:05:44] I'm shocked that we keep any of these names straight.

[00:05:47] It is, we're not.

[00:05:50] That's what I thought.

[00:05:52] And it's coming up as a anti-ISO resistance group in the Syrian conflict civil war.

[00:05:59] Wrong group.

[00:06:02] Maybe it's yeah.

[00:06:05] Anyway, you know who?

[00:06:08] Yeah.

[00:06:10] Welcome to operating in a culture and a language, not your own.

[00:06:15] You both fight for God.

[00:06:17] What is it?

[00:06:18] The rabbit god versus the duck god comic.

[00:06:21] So almond al daqili is a unit of secret service responsible for maintaining law and order.

[00:06:27] Wait, wait.

[00:06:29] I'm not carrying this one.

[00:06:31] Oh, okay.

[00:06:32] Why not?

[00:06:33] So let's just insert his Buddhists.

[00:06:36] Yeah, there we go.

[00:06:38] And it'll boot as surpassive as even.

[00:06:41] That wasn't describing Buddhist.

[00:06:43] Oh, okay.

[00:06:44] And then Buddhism has we just go in.

[00:06:48] I were all.

[00:06:49] Okay.

[00:06:50] Is that what I'm in white?

[00:06:51] I just hear the hell.

[00:06:52] Thank you.

[00:06:54] Some of them have hyphens and some of them don't.

[00:06:57] So that also makes it I presume challenging.

[00:07:01] Okay, this is this is working.

[00:07:03] Thank you.

[00:07:04] So do you want time to progress?

[00:07:06] Do you want to chat some more?

[00:07:08] Do you want to keep players around?

[00:07:10] I mean, I guess Al Rabini can start acquisition for anything that we would think that we need.

[00:07:14] I do also the two things.

[00:07:17] So we hung up the phone call so I'm okay with that.

[00:07:19] You do have ostensibly two guys huddled in a bathroom.

[00:07:22] I don't want no if we want to go back there or if we're okay with just letting time elapse for them as well.

[00:07:27] Yeah, for your help.

[00:07:29] Pay the lady.

[00:07:31] I think carrying a few thousand dollars with them is not an unreasonable request.

[00:07:36] But I think if you're going to do this long term, which you presume you will, you need to establish some sort of cash flow.

[00:07:43] Use your own credit card, something like I don't imagine you just took a brief case with 20,000 or you know, 20 grand.

[00:07:50] Al Rabini's going to start in the electronic repair shop in fact.

[00:07:54] Hey, whatever pays the bills once he moves the bag that I don't mind trying to set up some kind of.

[00:07:59] But you guys are doing some James Bond shit.

[00:08:01] So I don't want to lose that James Bond shit if there's more James Bond shit to play what's Jennifer doing right now coming back from.

[00:08:10] Okay, next day she should call Irene trying set up cash.

[00:08:16] We're waiting to hear from Gwen to see if he can put together more cash, which I doubt.

[00:08:21] Yeah, fuck you Jeff, but I gave you 125 grand.

[00:08:25] You're the asshole who spent half of it on your private military contractors.

[00:08:28] Hey, it was worth it.

[00:08:30] It was a good thing.

[00:08:31] Okay, then do something with the other half of your cash. Don't look at me.

[00:08:34] This guy.

[00:08:36] So how much cash do we have sitting around?

[00:08:40] $58,400.

[00:08:43] Yeah, it wouldn't be hard for us to get 10 grand probably 50 sticks.

[00:08:48] Yeah, that's fair.

[00:08:49] To cover things for a while.

[00:08:50] Yeah, that's fair.

[00:08:51] I mean you guys could have taken some of it with you.

[00:08:53] I just enough to get started, but to cover how much are we talking for two weeks?

[00:08:59] We talked about it.

[00:09:00] I don't remember.

[00:09:01] I don't need it.

[00:09:03] Make it 57,000 because NASA has to support his drug habit.

[00:09:11] You see the more you mention that he will start fucking with.

[00:09:14] I know.

[00:09:15] Well, it already has opioids in killers on our on our funds.

[00:09:19] We went from 61 900 to fuck you greedy 58 400.

[00:09:25] I'm not sure what's in there.

[00:09:27] You were mad about it though.

[00:09:30] Shit.

[00:09:36] And the, the, the what's her name?

[00:09:40] Emeline.

[00:09:41] What's her name?

[00:09:42] The British researcher.

[00:09:46] Do you have a Emily, Emily, Emily.

[00:09:48] Hail.

[00:09:49] Yeah.

[00:09:50] Do we need to sit there with her while she's working?

[00:09:52] You tell me.

[00:09:53] No, I'm trying to figure out what, what she needs to do her work.

[00:09:57] Does she need us there?

[00:09:58] She is not specified.

[00:10:00] So I feel like you've only just engaged in the relationship.

[00:10:04] You've got her there and started.

[00:10:07] You haven't really explored that yet narratively.

[00:10:10] Okay.

[00:10:11] Today is the spa day, darling.

[00:10:13] Three hundred.

[00:10:14] Three hundred.

[00:10:15] Three hundred pounds a day plus the Cheshire Hotel, which I remember we talked about wasn't

[00:10:20] very expensive.

[00:10:21] Right.

[00:10:22] So let's, let's call it four hundred pounds a day.

[00:10:24] What does that translate into dollars?

[00:10:27] Like, it's like one and a half.

[00:10:30] So we'll call it twenty eight hundred pounds a week.

[00:10:34] So that's probably what four grand.

[00:10:38] Cause like one and a half give a take, I think in 2016.

[00:10:42] I'm looking at it.

[00:10:43] Okay, you Google it.

[00:10:44] Let's just don't take forever with whatever we're doing.

[00:10:49] Does it sound she sounds like the type of lady that will stay there for like three years

[00:10:52] if you let her.

[00:10:53] Yeah, we're in May.

[00:10:56] We're going into the best exchange rate of 2016.

[00:11:02] Right at a dollar and a half per pound.

[00:11:04] So say twenty hundred.

[00:11:06] So twenty hundred and then fourteen hundred.

[00:11:10] So if it's a dollar and a half, right?

[00:11:12] So forty two.

[00:11:13] Yeah.

[00:11:14] So forty two hundred dollars.

[00:11:15] You're going the wrong way.

[00:11:16] Right.

[00:11:17] No, no, okay.

[00:11:19] So just a little over four grand a week.

[00:11:22] So ten grand would get you two and a half weeks basically.

[00:11:30] So what do you want to do?

[00:11:32] I assume that Alrubeanie could probably wire you the money from back to add.

[00:11:36] Okay, please ten grand cover the covers for a couple of weeks.

[00:11:40] Yeah.

[00:11:41] And from there we need to figure out some kind of income because we're going to burn

[00:11:45] through what's left right.

[00:11:47] We can cover for a month out of what we have but that's going to eat half of it technically

[00:11:52] we can yeah true.

[00:11:55] So having that conversation, you wanted to explore having a conversation with Irene about

[00:12:01] the CIA potentially helping fund us funding funding another shot at Alrubeanie Al Jiberi

[00:12:08] Al Jiberi.

[00:12:09] Yep, sorry.

[00:12:10] Sorry.

[00:12:11] We dropped it.

[00:12:12] He's still alive to her yet.

[00:12:13] No.

[00:12:14] Oh good.

[00:12:15] Yep, that's a that'll be a that'll be a nice little nugget.

[00:12:18] Well, you can also turn it to she's more than likely reported she got it.

[00:12:23] Do you want to have lied in your reports?

[00:12:26] Can no then it's funds misappropriated at that point.

[00:12:30] So yeah, right.

[00:12:31] I guess they did fire rockets.

[00:12:33] Correct.

[00:12:34] Across on a proctoratory.

[00:12:36] Correct.

[00:12:37] She pushed a button she shouldn't have pushed unless it was a sure thing.

[00:12:40] Yep.

[00:12:41] So there's a little bit of blackmail there without going all the way into her back full

[00:12:44] back room.

[00:12:45] Yeah, but she made a point of knowing who we were.

[00:12:48] She's been checking on us.

[00:12:50] We should make that point too.

[00:12:52] Okay.

[00:12:53] I mean, not if we can if we can do it by funding another shot at Al Jiberi that's fine

[00:12:58] but as soon as it's not that we can turn that around on her.

[00:13:02] So we are going to tip our hat that we might know more about her than I would say not until

[00:13:08] she pushes back if she if she rebuffs our initial plan of trying to get some money to

[00:13:13] get into Mosul.

[00:13:14] So one way or another get money out of her.

[00:13:16] Yeah, go.

[00:13:17] Well, that'll be tomorrow.

[00:13:20] Yep.

[00:13:21] Yeah.

[00:13:22] Yeah.

[00:13:23] It doesn't work.

[00:13:24] Not true about right now.

[00:13:26] Yeah.

[00:13:27] Did you see what he did?

[00:13:29] He reached over since the keyboard's facing him and just started touching his keys.

[00:13:34] So we said you have 10 grand so you have just two and a half weeks roughly.

[00:13:40] Yeah, it was 2800 unless you're allowing us to repurpose and they took that out initially.

[00:13:46] We had discussed me trying to wire the money to them.

[00:13:49] I think wiring the money to them is not terrible.

[00:13:51] You can do it as long as nothing crazy happens, but I just want to make sure that you're

[00:13:56] going with right now two and a half weeks is what you've paid for.

[00:14:00] Correct.

[00:14:01] So it's five so it's five nine.

[00:14:03] So that's five nine is actually the day you guys arrived in London.

[00:14:07] So say five 10 five 17 five 24 is two weeks.

[00:14:12] So you're paid up through the end of May.

[00:14:14] Sure.

[00:14:15] That sounds right.

[00:14:16] Okay.

[00:14:17] So that note marked that takes care of that.

[00:14:19] We're still on the 10th.

[00:14:22] Do you want to tell me who's moving where?

[00:14:24] Do we want to go that far?

[00:14:26] Alarabini are we sending Warner?

[00:14:28] Yeah, he's not going into Mosul.

[00:14:29] He might as well stay with Alarabini.

[00:14:30] You guys don't want to send him in the Mosul.

[00:14:32] I mean, he'll be the fifth man on a four person team at that point.

[00:14:36] Okay.

[00:14:37] Alarabini and Warner both go and repack that.

[00:14:39] So I'm going to count that as the 11th I think to just get it all done.

[00:14:43] So this assistance is going to be like how many fucking people are in your group?

[00:14:47] So we're Beanie and Warner to Mosul.

[00:14:49] Yeah.

[00:14:50] And then who's heading back to Kirkuk?

[00:14:51] Captain Dan Ameri.

[00:14:52] Dan Ameri.

[00:14:53] We wave at each other as we pass on the highway.

[00:14:56] Okay, so I'm having that take place technically tomorrow because I figure it's going

[00:14:59] to take some time.

[00:15:00] So is there anything you want to do on the 10th?

[00:15:02] That's the next day.

[00:15:03] The 10th is the current day.

[00:15:04] Oh no.

[00:15:05] No.

[00:15:06] So I'm going to say you guys are all talking.

[00:15:07] You're planning.

[00:15:08] You're moving things around.

[00:15:09] Anything that the England team wants to do because technically they've got hail in place

[00:15:14] as of last night to today.

[00:15:16] Things are moving.

[00:15:17] Do they want to do anything on the 10th?

[00:15:19] I'm going to get to work.

[00:15:21] Shake, shake.

[00:15:22] They're like movie trapping their room and all kinds of shit.

[00:15:26] So I don't know if we want to go play some more spy games or not.

[00:15:29] If they want to talk to her, if they want to leave her alone, where are you at?

[00:15:32] Need explore her relationship with her son a little more.

[00:15:36] Oh yeah, because it seemed caught that she lied when she said she didn't know him.

[00:15:39] Yeah.

[00:15:40] I don't remember the movie trapping with the room.

[00:15:43] That was just added flair.

[00:15:44] Okay.

[00:15:45] You were being very secretive, which we don't normally do on this podcast.

[00:15:50] So I was calling back to it.

[00:15:51] You were being secretive and he was letting Hastings know that he caught her in a lie.

[00:15:56] Oh, gotcha.

[00:15:57] Okay.

[00:15:58] Believe you, I think the bathroom turned on the shit fan.

[00:16:00] Gotcha.

[00:16:01] Which I don't know if I ever saw one in England or not.

[00:16:03] Really?

[00:16:04] He just said that you guys were having a conversation in a car.

[00:16:06] Okay.

[00:16:07] No, Jeff definitely described being in the bathroom turning the fan.

[00:16:09] I may not have been that instance but he didn't describe that.

[00:16:12] I don't remember.

[00:16:13] Cut it out, Jeff.

[00:16:14] Prove great.

[00:16:15] Wrong.

[00:16:16] It's cheating if you edit out me being wrong.

[00:16:19] Yeah, I don't do that.

[00:16:21] I will prove wrong.

[00:16:22] But carry on.

[00:16:23] What would you like to do?

[00:16:24] Anything from the England team?

[00:16:26] If not, that's fine.

[00:16:27] I'll move the day.

[00:16:28] I just didn't want to give you the opportunity.

[00:16:29] I mean, I don't know.

[00:16:30] I don't know that there's anything that they need to be doing.

[00:16:33] They're getting ready to go into research.

[00:16:37] They need to make sure that they know what book ends they have and need her to work

[00:16:42] on.

[00:16:43] And you can do that with the research assistant and Dan and Mary before they leave.

[00:16:48] Okay.

[00:16:49] So you can start establishing that.

[00:16:50] So I'm good to move to the next day.

[00:16:52] Cool.

[00:16:53] So we're on the 11th now.

[00:16:56] On the 11th, Rebeanie and Warner are going to Mosul, Dan and Mary are going to cook.

[00:17:02] The England team has their bookends to provide with Professor Hale.

[00:17:06] We're going to Baghdad but yeah.

[00:17:07] What do I say Mosul?

[00:17:08] You keep saying Mosul for Baghdad.

[00:17:10] Anything else on the 11th?

[00:17:15] Yes.

[00:17:16] Assuming Jennifer, who's with Jennifer for the Fishmerger?

[00:17:19] Nasser.

[00:17:20] Nasser back at Kirk Cook now.

[00:17:21] Jennifer is going to call Irene.

[00:17:24] Sure.

[00:17:29] Phone rings.

[00:17:30] Yeah.

[00:17:31] I read answers.

[00:17:32] This is Jennifer.

[00:17:33] We need to appropriate more funds.

[00:17:36] All right.

[00:17:37] And this is my problem.

[00:17:40] That target that you are so sure that we provided Intel on.

[00:17:44] We have affirmative intel that he is still active.

[00:17:48] All right.

[00:17:49] Do you have actionable intel or just thought that we didn't get him?

[00:17:53] No, we have confirmed that the strike was unsuccessful.

[00:17:59] We are needing more funds as we are going to insert into Mosul and we'll be able to

[00:18:05] provide you more intel once for inside.

[00:18:08] Well, again, I don't know what you're doing and Kirk Cook.

[00:18:11] I don't know what you're doing and Mosul don't particularly care.

[00:18:15] But what you're doing is not important to me unless you get in the way.

[00:18:19] So I don't really see where I owe to pay for you to pay off whoever you're working

[00:18:25] with.

[00:18:26] I'm not bankrolling your mission.

[00:18:28] I don't see the reason why you seem to think that I should.

[00:18:31] Oh, I'm sorry.

[00:18:32] I just be thought that this was kind of your mission at this point.

[00:18:35] No, not really.

[00:18:37] I mean, don't get me wrong.

[00:18:38] We had actual intel and I appreciate that.

[00:18:40] I'm glad that you helped me find some names and some faces.

[00:18:43] But really the failure of the Mosul strike is really probably the timing of your Intel

[00:18:48] more than anything else.

[00:18:49] So I mean, we're all right.

[00:18:50] I mean, it's not like we're going to stop shooting Tomahawk missiles over the areas.

[00:18:54] So interesting.

[00:18:55] We just assume that with your position in such a precarious situation, that you might

[00:19:00] want to make sure your ends are covered.

[00:19:03] Precarious position, you say?

[00:19:04] Yeah, we wouldn't want anything to bring light to your security clearance, for instance.

[00:19:09] OK.

[00:19:10] Now we're going for it.

[00:19:11] Perfect.

[00:19:12] I'm here for it.

[00:19:14] Daniel, I'm here for it.

[00:19:15] Let's go.

[00:19:16] Black, make black.

[00:19:17] Kids in these two schools.

[00:19:22] Oh, yeah.

[00:19:23] If I need to spell out the ABCs, I'll just want to make sure that you got the information

[00:19:28] if you need it.

[00:19:29] I'm assuming she's a smart lady.

[00:19:31] I'm going to get her some money.

[00:19:37] Bonus die thing in the system, Jeff.

[00:19:39] No, it's a plus 20 or plus 40.

[00:19:42] Yeah, bonus dies could do.

[00:19:45] The limit.

[00:19:50] Just what exactly would you be implying Miss clandestine effort in an active war zone

[00:19:57] with a Iraqi coalition who's clearly going in for her own reasons?

[00:20:02] Well, we're operating for many reasons.

[00:20:05] Don't care.

[00:20:06] One of which is reason that you had a clear interest in.

[00:20:09] I mean, suppose, but I don't understand your point.

[00:20:12] Would you like to get to the point of your threat?

[00:20:14] Don't misunderstand me.

[00:20:16] This isn't a threat.

[00:20:17] We both have jobs where we make it our business to know about each other.

[00:20:20] We need some help and in return we can give you some help.

[00:20:23] Some I checked.

[00:20:24] I called you yesterday and provided some information.

[00:20:27] So I feel like this quid pro quo is lacking the pro quo from my perspective.

[00:20:32] Let's just say we might have a way to provide funds for you off the record, but we need some

[00:20:37] funds on the record.

[00:20:38] You haven't provided me a body yet, which is what I asked you for.

[00:20:41] So not feeling a lot of love again in this back and forth relationship.

[00:20:45] We do have your list of names still and we will be in a position to actually possibly make

[00:20:50] more action on that list.

[00:20:51] Okay?

[00:20:52] So consider this maybe an investment.

[00:20:54] Yeah.

[00:20:56] I'm going to need something right now you're getting a lot, but you're not really giving

[00:20:59] a whole lot.

[00:21:00] The Intel was great, but too late clearly.

[00:21:04] So give me something worthwhile.

[00:21:06] I'll see what I can do, but right now couldn't care less.

[00:21:09] What's the actual thing that we were going to talk about selling the fucking money to

[00:21:15] sell the fucking tablets?

[00:21:16] No, we were going to we were going to do an bezel part of what she secures from the

[00:21:21] CIA and clear her debts.

[00:21:23] Oh, that's right.

[00:21:25] Or we were going to eventually use the money we got from selling artifacts to pay her

[00:21:30] either one.

[00:21:31] Correct.

[00:21:32] I want to word this.

[00:21:34] I think I think the best way to sum up what I'm trying to ask of you, Irene, is that

[00:21:39] you are not utilizing us for our full potential.

[00:21:43] Okay.

[00:21:45] And what exactly do you feel your potential is that I should invest in?

[00:21:50] Is this a secure line?

[00:21:51] The CIA.

[00:21:52] What exactly do you think you have that I want?

[00:21:57] We understand that you are short on funds that you're dealing with some personal issues

[00:22:01] in your life that might shed bad light on your career at the CIA, and we'd like to try

[00:22:06] to make that right.

[00:22:07] Uh, would you like to make some sort of role or you just want to role play it?

[00:22:11] Persuade or a bureaucracy?

[00:22:12] Can I choose?

[00:22:13] Uh, I'll allow you to choose.

[00:22:15] You get different results depending on what you do choose because per per swayed is more

[00:22:19] of a social role bureaucracy is more of a professional role.

[00:22:23] I think it's like she's doing per swayed right now.

[00:22:26] Go ahead.

[00:22:27] Oh, 34 under 73.

[00:22:32] That's pretty good role.

[00:22:42] The phone line makes sort of a clicking noise.

[00:22:45] Uh, who are we talking to?

[00:22:47] Jennifer?

[00:22:48] Let me look at her character sheet.

[00:22:49] I got my own copy.

[00:22:50] Yeah, uh, her score is good enough in SIGINT.

[00:22:58] Something has changed with the phone line.

[00:23:00] Uh, I don't know the spy equivalent or the CIA equivalent of white turned off the recording.

[00:23:07] Yes.

[00:23:08] Expect it.

[00:23:09] Uh, and she, she cuts you off somewhere within that diatribe because she's caught

[00:23:13] on to what you're suggesting.

[00:23:15] You are throwing out a per swayed, um, and the sort of the cold bitch persona doesn't break,

[00:23:21] but there's a clicking noise and it becomes harder.

[00:23:24] Listen here, fucking bitch.

[00:23:26] I don't know what you're doing and I don't know what you game you're playing, but what

[00:23:30] you're doing is incredibly goddamn dangerous.

[00:23:33] So do not threaten me or anyone else that I care about unless you really have the balls

[00:23:39] to fuck with the kind of power I can rain down.

[00:23:43] Okay?

[00:23:44] I don't know what you're playing at.

[00:23:45] I don't know what you want, but if you're extorting money from me, you sure as shit

[00:23:49] better fucking have something because right now your entire goddamn group doesn't have

[00:23:54] anything that amounts to a hill of beans and I'm ready to blow your goddamn cover

[00:23:58] and to, uh, you know, just just for the fun of it because I don't think you have shit.

[00:24:03] What's what's the guy's name that she tried to kill?

[00:24:06] Al Jabiri.

[00:24:07] Al Jabiri.

[00:24:08] What if we could prove that Al Jabiri was actually involved in something much larger

[00:24:13] than what you think you have intel on him for?

[00:24:15] Something that would make your career.

[00:24:17] Uh, human role.

[00:24:20] 69 under 70.

[00:24:25] Nice.

[00:24:26] Are you sure it's a nine to not a six?

[00:24:30] 66 under 70 would be a critical.

[00:24:32] Yeah, that's why I'm asking that's a nine.

[00:24:33] Okay.

[00:24:34] That's a good.

[00:24:35] I was supposed to say it's six.

[00:24:36] Sorry guys.

[00:24:38] Um, you've got three.

[00:24:39] The hell you, David, you've got her.

[00:24:43] You've got her riled up rationalization is not the best tactic at this point.

[00:24:48] You have, you have rattled her cage in a way you've not seen her rattled.

[00:24:52] So rational rational conversation at this point is a little, I don't want to say out

[00:24:55] the window, but you would have to pull back considerably and get her on board.

[00:24:59] Um, I don't give a fuck what you seem to think is going on.

[00:25:02] I don't know what game you're playing, but I'm not dealing with this shit.

[00:25:06] Okay?

[00:25:07] So if you don't have anything fucking useful for me, I will shut off the intel flow that

[00:25:11] I've already given, given you and I will do everything I can to make your fucking groups

[00:25:17] life miserable.

[00:25:19] And I don't think it would take a lot of power to do so.

[00:25:21] So I can shine a light on whatever the fuck you're doing.

[00:25:24] So back off, bitch.

[00:25:25] I mean, besides this most recent intel, how much intel she actually given us two pieces.

[00:25:31] Yeah.

[00:25:32] Including this.

[00:25:33] Yeah, it was that and what was the other one?

[00:25:34] The one that we already had about the tank crew.

[00:25:37] Yeah, she's not giving us shit just so you know, she did launch Tomahawk missiles for you.

[00:25:44] Didn't ask her to.

[00:25:45] She launched top hack missiles for her.

[00:25:47] Yes, she did.

[00:25:48] Fair enough.

[00:25:49] I will accept that rebuttal.

[00:25:50] She wouldn't, but I'll accept that rebuttal.

[00:25:51] I think that's fair.

[00:25:52] Listen, let's not play cool here.

[00:25:56] We know you're using us.

[00:25:58] That's fine.

[00:25:59] I'll use you and maybe just maybe if you can set the pride down a little bit, you might

[00:26:03] get something that will benefit both your professional and your personal life.

[00:26:07] I'll accept that.

[00:26:08] Solid.

[00:26:09] It's a good argument.

[00:26:10] You want help?

[00:26:11] Give me anything actionable right now.

[00:26:13] It's a lot of smoke in mirrors and bullshit.

[00:26:16] And I don't know what you're doing, but it's A not legal and B not sanctioned.

[00:26:20] So it's your ass on the line.

[00:26:22] Not mine.

[00:26:23] Sess this CIA.

[00:26:24] Sorry.

[00:26:26] They're just sitting on the line.

[00:26:28] We like goddamn.

[00:26:29] God bless America.

[00:26:32] Land in a.

[00:26:35] Leak Greenwood starts playing in the background.

[00:26:37] We can confirm that algebra is involved somehow with a weapon of mass destruction, of the

[00:26:42] likes that could entirely obliterate this coalition force outside of Mosul if it so

[00:26:47] chose.

[00:26:48] I will let you make some sort of persuade roll with that.

[00:26:51] I think that you've maneuvered it good enough.

[00:26:54] I think that I need a role of some sort.

[00:26:57] Yeah, I'm probably a mother persuade.

[00:27:01] I mean, you could you could take it a couple of other angles.

[00:27:03] I think persuades the most natural, but again, you get something different with each

[00:27:06] role you make.

[00:27:07] Feel like this is a pretty critical juncture.

[00:27:09] 46 under 73.

[00:27:10] Okay.

[00:27:11] All right, fair enough.

[00:27:12] Say I believe you say you're even right.

[00:27:15] Don't care about your motivations.

[00:27:16] I need some proof.

[00:27:19] I need something.

[00:27:20] I need someone's head on a silver platter.

[00:27:22] I need intel.

[00:27:24] I need photos.

[00:27:25] Give me something and I can help make it happen for you to get you what you want.

[00:27:30] We need to insert into Mosul.

[00:27:32] We need those to give it back.

[00:27:34] Give me something back.

[00:27:36] You do get the sense that there is a hard line obviously between her personal motivations

[00:27:40] and her professional motivations.

[00:27:41] And while you've definitely you've definitely shaped the tree, she still is adhering to

[00:27:47] the professional line more than the person.

[00:27:48] You can kind of get that from the conversation.

[00:27:51] She's not so shook, but she's not so shook that she's just going to give in to anything

[00:27:56] I want.

[00:27:58] I need something actionable.

[00:28:00] Anything actual you go into Mosul, you give me some photos, you give me even something

[00:28:04] remotely tangible and I can probably free up something for you.

[00:28:10] But I cannot do this on a contact that's given me nothing.

[00:28:15] And we can do that.

[00:28:16] You'll be hearing from us.

[00:28:18] But do not threaten me on this line again.

[00:28:21] She hangs up the phone.

[00:28:22] So let's play with that.

[00:28:23] Good God worse.

[00:28:24] Yeah.

[00:28:25] That's a T shirt right there.

[00:28:28] My record brought the good of gun worse.

[00:28:32] So yeah, no, I mean in terms of what you gained from that, she is rattled.

[00:28:37] You did, you did hit up kind of against a wall there.

[00:28:41] She's maybe more afraid of sanctioning something bullshit or siphoning money to a black ops

[00:28:47] group that she has no idea what the fuck is going on versus her personal, you know, the

[00:28:51] professionals winning out over the personal basically.

[00:28:54] But you did rattler and she is mildly interested in what you have to say.

[00:28:59] So if you give her something, you feel like that would be an avenue.

[00:29:02] I think so we can give her proof on our beanie and his involvement with this.

[00:29:07] Yeah.

[00:29:08] What's what do you guys think of?

[00:29:09] Like truckers Al Jibiri Al Rubeini is your teammate.

[00:29:12] That's what I said.

[00:29:15] Jeff Fox fix and post.

[00:29:17] God damn it.

[00:29:19] I blame Jeff because he's the one who fucks it up the most.

[00:29:21] Okay, so the danger here is giving her too much information that would make her a vector.

[00:29:28] She would learn too much, right?

[00:29:29] So she's not going to be able to believe the program if you believe Sloan.

[00:29:33] Who's to say that CIA doesn't know some of this already?

[00:29:36] Right.

[00:29:37] That's fair.

[00:29:38] Yeah.

[00:29:39] Be connected to the program for all you know.

[00:29:41] Right.

[00:29:43] It's also not like we're going to like send her pictures at the elder sign and shit.

[00:29:47] You know, right?

[00:29:48] Yeah.

[00:29:49] There's pretty distinct parameters of what she's looking for.

[00:29:51] I left the conversation intentionally as if you know, you know, if you don't, then

[00:29:58] you don't have to.

[00:29:59] Yeah.

[00:30:00] So what kind of, what can we give her?

[00:30:02] I mean, movements on the inside of Mosul, like passing information of this is a barracks,

[00:30:08] like this is a Tomahawk missile target.

[00:30:10] Like, you mean like there's tons of shit.

[00:30:12] That we can potentially give her.

[00:30:14] Gotcha.

[00:30:15] I got the sense though that yes, I think she's interested and then I agree.

[00:30:19] I got the sense though that she was more interested in this weapon as because I really

[00:30:23] liked your tack of it's a career maker.

[00:30:27] Well, yeah.

[00:30:28] If we can, we'll give her actionable intel on Al Jibbiri.

[00:30:32] He's an actual threat to the coalition outside of Mosul and that she can take him down

[00:30:36] this time for real and stop that threat.

[00:30:39] And she takes credit for it at the CIA hell yeah.

[00:30:41] I should be in spotlight for the rest of her.

[00:30:43] How do we tie him to the, the weapon of mass destruction that you're up?

[00:30:47] I just think, I just think that's a really good bangle by getting by drawing narratives

[00:30:52] once we have actionable intel.

[00:30:54] I mean, we're not going to be able to create a story now to be able to give the attacks,

[00:30:58] you know, testing of the weapon of some kind of magical fair.

[00:31:02] Because I guess what I'm trying to get to is I think what you just hit on is it's how

[00:31:07] do we phrase it?

[00:31:08] Like how do we tell the story to her and I think that's a good way to do it.

[00:31:13] It's test.

[00:31:14] I mean, she's right.

[00:31:15] I told us she didn't care if we were right about the weapon of mass destruction angle.

[00:31:18] Like if you give me actionable intel, I could potentially help you just depend on what

[00:31:22] we get more so than anything.

[00:31:24] I mean, you're expendable assets from her point of view.

[00:31:27] Yeah.

[00:31:28] You know, we draw whatever narrative we need based on what we end up getting.

[00:31:30] Okay.

[00:31:31] Would we talk about the Pentagon budget?

[00:31:33] Did we talk about that on here already?

[00:31:35] No, the 1.2 trillion dollars lost in the couch cushions.

[00:31:39] Yeah.

[00:31:40] They're 2.4 trillion dollar budget.

[00:31:42] Yeah.

[00:31:43] No, I feel like you could or what?

[00:31:45] 7.

[00:31:46] Are we up to 7 failed off its?

[00:31:47] Yeah.

[00:31:48] So mean like, you know, 100 grand off her back is no big deal.

[00:31:52] But she at least has to rationalize to someone why you're spending 100 grand of Uncle

[00:31:57] Sam's money.

[00:31:58] Even if it's tangential at best, if you were friends with her, maybe it would be different.

[00:32:03] But since your friend amies at best, she's going to make you know, fuck the first rule.

[00:32:08] Yeah.

[00:32:09] Yeah.

[00:32:10] That happened.

[00:32:12] I feel like if you are a female CIA director, you've seen some shit and you take no

[00:32:18] guff from anyone.

[00:32:19] I feel like if it's an NPC that Grady is playing, it's automatically untaggial.

[00:32:24] I mean, have you met government officials before?

[00:32:28] No, really.

[00:32:29] They're just not very high.

[00:32:30] You're local post office, you know, your local postmaster general.

[00:32:36] What?

[00:32:37] Yeah, but it doesn't matter.

[00:32:38] It could be the guy manning the ice cream stand.

[00:32:41] And you would be doing the fern turkey ice cream for a while.

[00:32:46] Yeah, it's fairly accurate.

[00:32:48] It's a premise press.

[00:32:52] Don't look at me to solve the game.

[00:32:53] I'm just going to put roadblocks in your way.

[00:32:55] Use off the game.

[00:32:56] Oh no, we're trying to give use the information that you're giving us.

[00:33:00] Correct.

[00:33:01] And you're like, no, fuck you.

[00:33:02] I made some rolls.

[00:33:03] I added some bonuses.

[00:33:05] I rolled like shit.

[00:33:07] Sorry.

[00:33:08] Uh-huh.

[00:33:09] I rolled like shit again for you.

[00:33:12] Sorry.

[00:33:13] There was at least a twist or die in there.

[00:33:15] There was not.

[00:33:16] It was an odd assortment of meaningless dies.

[00:33:19] You didn't pass the bribery success chart in there.

[00:33:24] To pre-low percentage.

[00:33:25] So what's next?

[00:33:27] Blackmail.

[00:33:28] Blackmail, not bribery.

[00:33:29] It's a different chart.

[00:33:30] Amazing.

[00:33:31] Oh, speaking of which we should bring in some cash for bribes.

[00:33:38] That's actually I'm glad you said that.

[00:33:40] Yeah.

[00:33:41] How much cash should we bring?

[00:33:42] We should probably split it up all amongst ourselves.

[00:33:44] Probably bring it back.

[00:33:45] You know, American cash doesn't make a difference when we're driving people in the world.

[00:33:47] Oh, we can fix that.

[00:33:48] Yeah, yeah.

[00:33:49] We can get local currency.

[00:33:50] I'm just thinking about that logistically.

[00:33:52] You know what I mean?

[00:33:53] Like, I'm sure American dollars are useful in most places of the world.

[00:33:56] Yeah.

[00:33:57] I mean, the ISIL stronghold might be one of the few places on earth where it's not useful.

[00:34:00] Yeah.

[00:34:01] Ah, nah.

[00:34:02] It's not the sell oil.

[00:34:04] Well, listen, that's how they fund their...

[00:34:06] Yeah, I'm sure they sell for American dollars.

[00:34:08] It's not only useful because ISIL took over Mosul after we left it.

[00:34:12] Yeah.

[00:34:13] Not to mention all the coalition forces outside the town are carrying strength.

[00:34:16] No, I'm just thinking like logistically speaking, right?

[00:34:19] Like the nearest Islamic state city to Mosul is probably Raka, right?

[00:34:24] So if you're exchanging services and goods, you're exchanging it with Syria.

[00:34:29] How much is the American dollar worth to the average Syrian person?

[00:34:32] I don't know.

[00:34:33] Oh, you know a lot.

[00:34:34] Quite a bit.

[00:34:35] Quite a bit.

[00:34:36] Yeah, no.

[00:34:37] What runs the world?

[00:34:38] American dollars.

[00:34:39] What runs the world?

[00:34:40] What were we doing at that point in time?

[00:34:42] Where are we not?

[00:34:43] Where are we helping...

[00:34:44] What the fuck?

[00:34:45] Assad?

[00:34:46] No, we were against Assad.

[00:34:49] It was Russia and Assad and then we were funding the...

[00:34:53] Oh, that's right.

[00:34:54] We were funding the rebel forces.

[00:34:57] I was just reading an article about how the CIA and MI6 after the fall of Qaddafi and

[00:35:03] how we just destroyed the country of Libya to the point where there were open air slave

[00:35:08] markets.

[00:35:09] You know, as Qaddafi was raped to death in the streets with a bayonet and his asshole

[00:35:16] by Salafis, all that stockpile weapons went straight to all the rebels in Syria that

[00:35:22] we called moderate rebels, but were actually some of the seeds of ISIL.

[00:35:26] It's just so fucked on so many levels.

[00:35:29] Funded our own terrorism?

[00:35:30] Yes, we did.

[00:35:31] I mean, it's just like the...

[00:35:33] I think I've talked about before, but was it Rambo III where they talk about the brave

[00:35:36] Mujadjadine fighters?

[00:35:37] Yep.

[00:35:38] You know the ones...

[00:35:39] Charlie Wilson's war.

[00:35:40] You mean the ones we were funding in the fight against Russia?

[00:35:43] Yep.

[00:35:44] Right.

[00:35:45] Were we wanted them to have their own Vietnam?

[00:35:46] The Jews there.

[00:35:47] Or they did have their own Vietnam.

[00:35:48] They did have that.

[00:35:49] They used those weapons in, you know, Afghanistan against American soldiers like two decades

[00:35:54] later.

[00:35:55] Well the problem with that is that we targeted not just Al Qaeda but all of the Taliban.

[00:35:59] Why do you think the US government was so interested in getting the fuck over there and

[00:36:02] cleaning this shit up?

[00:36:04] Three wars later and we're still nowhere to be found closer to our goals.

[00:36:09] Ah, American foreign policy.

[00:36:12] You mean CIA's foreign policy?

[00:36:15] Yes, yeah.

[00:36:16] It's always wild to me how whether it's a Democrat or Republican, you know, they may have

[00:36:22] dissimilar domestic policy.

[00:36:24] Isn't it interesting how their foreign policy is remarkably in step?

[00:36:29] Hmm.

[00:36:30] I mean, it's why Central America is so stable right now.

[00:36:33] CIA intervention.

[00:36:34] Guatemala's doing great because...

[00:36:36] Yeah, 100%.

[00:36:37] Anyway, sorry.

[00:36:38] I can't.

[00:36:39] I need to get these things out of my head.

[00:36:42] I need to drink more.

[00:36:43] Oh god damn it.

[00:36:45] That's all right.

[00:36:46] We're going to be focused on Alaska for a while now, so we're working.

[00:36:49] Bums of a bag.

[00:36:51] Okay, what's pumping oil?

[00:36:55] What are you or what else are you focused on remaining keeping Alaska?

[00:36:58] Oh yeah.

[00:36:59] All right.

[00:37:00] What's what are we doing here?

[00:37:01] I advancing the day that was the only thing you told me about doing on the 11th because

[00:37:04] everybody else is moving.

[00:37:05] Yeah, I mean, what other avenues of currency acquisition are we also going to want

[00:37:12] to go down?

[00:37:16] You talked about Al Rabini trying to hack a banking system.

[00:37:19] I'm actually really curious.

[00:37:21] I have a strong feeling that that's impossible.

[00:37:25] But I'm going to look it up.

[00:37:26] What?

[00:37:27] Hacking a bank.

[00:37:28] Yeah, but it's a fun thought.

[00:37:30] So I'm going to Google.

[00:37:31] Well, you're not hacking a bank.

[00:37:33] Thanks for googling that on my Wi-Fi.

[00:37:35] How to hack a bank?

[00:37:37] You're hacking a financial corporation.

[00:37:40] Right.

[00:37:41] Yeah, yeah.

[00:37:42] How do I make the end of Fight Club happen?

[00:37:45] I just need to siphon a penny off of every transaction, right?

[00:37:48] That's how that works.

[00:37:49] Frax is over percent.

[00:37:50] Nobody over notice.

[00:37:52] Boops on Channel 4.

[00:37:54] Yeah, it feels good to be a gangster.

[00:37:56] I mean, realistically, like what would he have to do in the middle of Baghdad to try and

[00:38:00] pull something off?

[00:38:01] It's a lot more possible than I thought.

[00:38:04] So yeah, to redirect digital funds.

[00:38:06] Yeah, probably nothing in Baghdad.

[00:38:08] So I doubt given the state of everything right there that they've probably redirected

[00:38:12] anything.

[00:38:13] I don't know.

[00:38:14] Well, I mean, a lot of digital currency.

[00:38:17] I flying around, I imagine.

[00:38:19] A lot of foreign aid.

[00:38:20] There you go.

[00:38:21] You could steal from the Red Cross.

[00:38:22] You fuck.

[00:38:23] How about doctors without board?

[00:38:28] You piece of shit.

[00:38:30] Sure.

[00:38:31] They're an easy target.

[00:38:32] Roll sand, fucker.

[00:38:33] Empty house and buddies go fun maybe.

[00:38:38] I can just empty my younger brother's college fund.

[00:38:41] Just destroy my bond and take money from my family.

[00:38:45] Yeah, no, I'll let you do that.

[00:38:46] The sand rolls is your big funnel.

[00:38:48] Oh, man.

[00:38:49] It's an option.

[00:38:51] You could liquidate personal assets.

[00:38:54] That's for sure.

[00:38:56] What about like these companies that are essentially hired to rebuild?

[00:39:00] Like, you're not going to tell me that there's nobody from Halliburton in the area.

[00:39:05] You could pose as a fake contractor.

[00:39:07] Yeah, take a contract fee.

[00:39:09] That's great to do something of that effect.

[00:39:12] I don't know if he has the bullshit skills to pull that off.

[00:39:14] Correct.

[00:39:15] Create.

[00:39:16] Well, I mean, he would go corporations.

[00:39:18] He wouldn't be pulling the bureaucracy bullshit off at all.

[00:39:21] I mean, he's using his good, like literally creating.

[00:39:25] Yeah.

[00:39:26] This money goes there instead of there.

[00:39:29] And then mysteriously the contractors never show up.

[00:39:33] They're not those phone calls and weeks to come.

[00:39:36] So yeah, I mean, if it's a viable option, see why we don't try it.

[00:39:39] It's not like he's currently doing anything else.

[00:39:42] If only there were embezzling rules in this game.

[00:39:45] It's back here next to the bribery channel.

[00:39:49] Something to take to fall.

[00:39:51] Irene.

[00:39:52] Irene's husband.

[00:39:55] Real estate company investing in Mosul.

[00:39:59] No, we just we just tag him as the CEO.

[00:40:02] Oh, man.

[00:40:03] That's fucking hilarious.

[00:40:05] We'll have seals coming for our heads, you know that?

[00:40:08] Who is looking into this?

[00:40:09] Or be there?

[00:40:10] Yeah.

[00:40:11] I mean, I'm literally an NSA crypto analyst.

[00:40:13] So like with criminology and computer science and SIGINT.

[00:40:20] Feel like you would know what to do.

[00:40:22] Yeah.

[00:40:23] Just what you had more than you doing this DG.

[00:40:25] You'd be making so much more money.

[00:40:29] But because I enlisted when my Syrian immigrant parents ran out of patients with my constant

[00:40:35] trouble that I attracted by hacking school networks, police networks, hacker team networks,

[00:40:41] anything that I could basically that caught my curiosity.

[00:40:44] I know, you know, it might be to point you in the right direction for a cut of the funds

[00:40:50] might be our pushmerger account.

[00:40:52] Like cut them into whatever were embezzling.

[00:40:55] They might.

[00:40:56] And at the very least we're doing a good thing by funding the curbs.

[00:40:59] They might be able to punch you in the right direction, though.

[00:41:01] Of what the heck?

[00:41:03] Go.

[00:41:04] Um, our beanie is a good person to contemplate this because he has a decent bureaucracy

[00:41:11] score and a decent accounting score.

[00:41:14] Um, and a great SIGINT score, obviously.

[00:41:17] Yeah.

[00:41:18] It's not the action of doing it is not hard.

[00:41:22] Yeah.

[00:41:23] You feel like you can embezzle funds.

[00:41:24] It's a question of whether or not you can move the dollars around to make it make sense.

[00:41:30] So no one looks into it.

[00:41:31] Uh, I'll give you that for free.

[00:41:33] Um, the big thing is is that it comes down to a quantity.

[00:41:37] If you wanted to steal a small amount of money, easy, you want to sell a moderate amount

[00:41:41] of me of, of a moderate amount of funds, it's going to be more and then it goes up and

[00:41:47] up and up.

[00:41:48] So it really comes down to how much are you trying to embezzle?

[00:41:50] Because you have access to, I mean, quantify that.

[00:41:53] And a geez, a small amount.

[00:41:54] I mean, if we could do a small amount and then a small amount, yeah, and then a small

[00:41:59] amount, yeah.

[00:42:00] Everyday transactions between corporation happen in the millions of dollars range.

[00:42:08] Like a hundred thousand dollar transaction going down on the books is nothing.

[00:42:13] Um, say upwards of five grand, you feel pretty confident you could do with a role.

[00:42:20] You feel pretty confident that that could be done and that that could be hidden without

[00:42:24] much of a problem.

[00:42:26] Um, up to 30 Gs, you know, say five to 30 Gs is going to be a risk plus of 30 Gs is

[00:42:33] going to be more of an extreme risk.

[00:42:34] Okay.

[00:42:35] All of those are doable.

[00:42:37] But like I said, taking, taking quantities up to five grand, no problem.

[00:42:42] Basically it's if you kind of look at the expense categories on page 84, that's kind of

[00:42:46] how they break down expenses.

[00:42:47] Um, what time, what type of timeframe are we looking at to do that?

[00:42:51] Cause I mean, that's something they could have been doing this whole time.

[00:42:54] Yeah.

[00:42:55] Uh, I think that it is each time he does it is going to take a role.

[00:43:00] So you're gonna, you're gonna potentially incur issues each time.

[00:43:03] It's not a slam.

[00:43:04] If you say okay, I want to do a thousand dollars and I want to do a thousand dollars

[00:43:07] every day, it's not a slam dunk that you're getting a thousand dollars a day.

[00:43:10] Does that make sense?

[00:43:11] I know.

[00:43:12] You're making, you're making roles each day.

[00:43:13] Your skills are good enough that you feel confident in it.

[00:43:15] But if somebody said, Hey, can you do this every day?

[00:43:17] You would not feel confident in that.

[00:43:19] Cause it's a risk at the time.

[00:43:20] Correct.

[00:43:21] You know, say it's a, say it's a coin flip.

[00:43:22] It's still a coin flip each time.

[00:43:24] You know what I mean?

[00:43:25] So it becomes the risk or award of do you try to go for something big that is lower percentage

[00:43:29] or do you try to go for something small that would be easier to hide?

[00:43:32] I don't know.

[00:43:33] I won't, I won't give you exact percentages.

[00:43:35] But again, it, it is, what kind of prep work could we give, could we do to give ourselves

[00:43:41] a bonus going into it?

[00:43:44] Something that nothing that Robini would know automatically if you guys come up with something

[00:43:49] that you think is clever, I would be substantial.

[00:43:52] Like two corporations transferring funds on a given day that you could intercept or something

[00:43:57] like that.

[00:43:58] Yeah.

[00:43:59] If you could come up with something narrative, I would absolutely give you a bonus.

[00:44:01] But there's nothing sort of in the base rule set that predicts, Hey, you get a bonus

[00:44:04] for this.

[00:44:05] So you get a minus for this if that makes sense.

[00:44:06] I think we should keep an eye out for that contractor leap though.

[00:44:10] Like if we can, if we see something in Mosul that we might be able to utilize and pose

[00:44:15] or are you going to ask?

[00:44:16] I'm sorry.

[00:44:17] So are we going with the hack a bank?

[00:44:21] Sorry.

[00:44:22] Is that what we're doing?

[00:44:23] We're not necessarily straight up hack a bank but we're looking to embezzle money.

[00:44:26] Okay.

[00:44:27] Basically I was into like transactions.

[00:44:29] I was reading about a case in, I think it was 2017 where the hacker actually used a

[00:44:37] fishing attack to gain access to the bank's network.

[00:44:42] And I think what's nice about that is that it's very low risk high reward because you

[00:44:46] can do it in such a way that you make it not traceable back to you.

[00:44:51] So we get our multipliers and the fire just try, you know, make a role for that because

[00:44:55] if you've been hacking in your whole life, that's not doing, you know, he said, he basically

[00:45:02] said doing it's not the problem.

[00:45:04] It's okay.

[00:45:05] If we need five grand in a pinch, he can roll for it.

[00:45:08] Yeah.

[00:45:09] Okay.

[00:45:10] But it's more of like the risk is in being found out more than anything.

[00:45:14] If we want like 30 Gs that's going to have some caveats.

[00:45:18] We want over there.

[00:45:19] The Cards.

[00:45:20] Then it's got you're probably going to get fucked in the ass.

[00:45:23] Gotcha.

[00:45:24] You would.

[00:45:25] He's also good enough since you're using arguably the character who's the best at it.

[00:45:29] If you attempted and it went poorly, you're probably good enough to cover up your tracks

[00:45:35] and you don't take it.

[00:45:36] But if you do take it, it's probably going to be found out.

[00:45:39] Does that make sense?

[00:45:40] Yeah, but how would I know if I did poorly?

[00:45:42] Like so if I make a role and I fail the role, I get to decide whether I take the money

[00:45:45] and if I take the money, that's when I'm fucked potentially.

[00:45:48] Yes.

[00:45:49] Okay.

[00:45:50] Yeah.

[00:45:51] I don't think you would necessarily know the consequences 100%.

[00:45:52] We're in a war zone.

[00:45:53] Yeah.

[00:45:54] I mean, like what if we did the prep work ahead of time to set someone else up to take

[00:46:01] the fall if it's cotton?

[00:46:03] I am okay if you can find a way to narratively figure that out.

[00:46:07] Guys, let's turn this group into like a crime group with it.

[00:46:10] Jeff's got the mind of a mafia Don.

[00:46:13] I was taking, I was making, I was making the joke of we were talking about setting up

[00:46:18] Irene's husband as like CEO or fog guy.

[00:46:21] I mean, at this point, I would start creating a digital persona.

[00:46:26] Yeah, just isn't there.

[00:46:28] Yeah.

[00:46:29] Jeff, look.

[00:46:30] Jeff, look.

[00:46:31] What the fuck guys?

[00:46:33] Don't bring me into this.

[00:46:38] Jeff, be hot CEO.

[00:46:41] Not gonna lie.

[00:46:42] I'd be down for this.

[00:46:44] Little shit.

[00:46:45] Jeff, get me in there.

[00:46:47] I want the money.

[00:46:49] No.

[00:46:50] If you spend some time, yeah, I would totally like set up a like a spoof to where it's

[00:46:55] total not coming back to me.

[00:46:57] Okay.

[00:46:58] Obviously it could take time.

[00:46:59] Right.

[00:47:00] I'm thinking about how long that might take.

[00:47:02] So let's presuming that's just the avenue you guys want to take.

[00:47:06] It is an avenue that we are starting now.

[00:47:08] Okay, you're currently traveling as of the 11th.

[00:47:11] So you're headed to Baghdad.

[00:47:13] So Rebeni and Warner are out for today.

[00:47:16] Dan and Mary are out for today.

[00:47:17] Is there anything else anybody wants to do on the 11th?

[00:47:20] I assume we're getting into research at the London Museum or what?

[00:47:25] Yes, Professor Hale.

[00:47:26] Doctor Hale.

[00:47:27] That's right.

[00:47:28] She's she's doing her thing.

[00:47:30] So it's a question if the England team wants to confront her, do anything.

[00:47:34] If they're staying there, they have their own hotel bill to pay.

[00:47:37] If they're going to hang out, you guys should offer to assist and then figure out a way

[00:47:41] to trick her into talking about her song somehow with his research.

[00:47:45] If you want to roleplay that, we can go down that avenue.

[00:47:48] It's whatever you guys want to do.

[00:47:50] Like maybe ask her about something she would only know if she knew her song somehow.

[00:47:54] Get her to confront that somehow.

[00:47:56] Everybody is knowing Mike, so Jeff doesn't have to turn you up.

[00:47:58] There might be some valuable intel there to be had.

[00:48:03] Yeah, Hastings will help out as much as she can,

[00:48:07] trying to speed things along, save some money.

[00:48:11] So what is Hastings?

[00:48:12] I can't remember was Hastings actually better in Acadian than Hale was.

[00:48:16] I feel like that was a thing.

[00:48:17] Yeah, yeah.

[00:48:18] So I don't know.

[00:48:19] She's at a 65.

[00:48:21] Yeah, she is.

[00:48:21] That confirms it.

[00:48:22] Yeah, she was like 50, I think.

[00:48:24] So who's there?

[00:48:26] It's Hastings and...

[00:48:27] Because he's...

[00:48:28] Yeah.

[00:48:28] What is Kazeem doing if she decides to try and help?

[00:48:31] I do.

[00:48:31] Yeah, that's a great question.

[00:48:33] I don't really think I have anything to offer

[00:48:36] when it comes to like he's an awesome dude but he doesn't know any Acadian.

[00:48:43] I mean you could be cataloging every...

[00:48:45] Yeah, yeah, yeah.

[00:48:46] I mean just so.

[00:48:46] I'll go for...

[00:48:47] I'll go for...

[00:48:48] I'll be of the Necronomicon in UK versus Greece.

[00:48:51] Yeah, that went so great for me.

[00:48:52] What you ought to do when you go to the library is just look around

[00:48:55] to see if you notice any recognizable faces.

[00:48:58] You know, the people that were following you

[00:49:00] that you never knew were there.

[00:49:01] Oh god.

[00:49:02] Yep, great.

[00:49:05] Yikes.

[00:49:05] So your fighting skits are pretty out there.

[00:49:09] So you're kind of hanging out then?

[00:49:11] Yeah, yeah or...

[00:49:12] Oh, and...

[00:49:14] So like on the morning of the...

[00:49:16] On the...

[00:49:17] Say the morning or, you know, the 11th.

[00:49:19] The plan is to like just walk up to the library and find her.

[00:49:22] Ask for her at the front desk.

[00:49:23] Mead her in a hotel lobby with a cup of coffee.

[00:49:25] Like what's the approach here?

[00:49:27] Uh yeah.

[00:49:27] Mead her in the hotel lobby.

[00:49:29] Coffee tea, whatever.

[00:49:31] I mean it would make sense to get access to the library together.

[00:49:34] Yeah.

[00:49:34] She's sort of like as you...

[00:49:36] As whatever that interaction plays out,

[00:49:38] you see her in the...

[00:49:40] I don't know, the dining hall.

[00:49:42] You approach her in the lobby.

[00:49:43] Oh, good morning.

[00:49:45] Morning.

[00:49:45] I didn't expect to see either of you.

[00:49:50] Okay, then what are you expecting?

[00:49:52] I presumed you would like me to conduct the research on your behalf.

[00:49:56] Are you...

[00:49:58] We're on a tight timetable and so...

[00:50:01] Well, I don't know a Canadian.

[00:50:05] I can help speed things along by moving things around.

[00:50:09] Hey, I'll even get you coffee if you need it.

[00:50:10] Yeah, but even better.

[00:50:12] My colleague Susan is quite proficient in the Canadian.

[00:50:15] Yes.

[00:50:17] Okay.

[00:50:18] Perhaps we could have some breakfast.

[00:50:20] It's quite early.

[00:50:21] Figured we'd have a nice insert, appropriate British breakfast here.

[00:50:26] Nothing is...

[00:50:27] Beans on toast.

[00:50:27] Yeah.

[00:50:28] She's instructing me as a beans on toast lady.

[00:50:30] It's too messy.

[00:50:31] God, something a little cleaner.

[00:50:32] You're gonna be worried about that lady close quarters.

[00:50:36] Toasted tomato sandy?

[00:50:37] Roll sand.

[00:50:39] Old lady fart smell real bad.

[00:50:43] Real quick as we continue to engage in this roleplay,

[00:50:47] I want to check in with you guys and

[00:50:49] I'm trying to think of an angle to get her to talk more about Rassam.

[00:50:53] I'm thinking of an angle to do with her work history and maybe a university that both her and Rassam work.

[00:51:01] So you guys...

[00:51:03] You guys identified the book ends, right?

[00:51:05] Yeah.

[00:51:06] Rassam's collection versus what London has.

[00:51:08] So you know specifically if something is not at London and is at Rassam's,

[00:51:13] I think if you can get her to buy into some familiarity to that,

[00:51:18] knowledge something that exists only on that side versus what's at London,

[00:51:22] it will prove that she has had contact with Rassam.

[00:51:25] Did we have the understanding that they had an entirety and entire copy?

[00:51:29] No, no you're not sure.

[00:51:31] Okay.

[00:51:31] You don't know between what's in Baghdad,

[00:51:34] what Rassam has and what London has if there's even a complete collection amongst the three.

[00:51:40] Gotcha.

[00:51:40] You do know that Rassam had a pretty substantial collection,

[00:51:44] but you also know it is incomplete.

[00:51:46] And we knew that London had the most complete collection at the,

[00:51:50] which is what the British say.

[00:51:51] Right.

[00:51:52] So there's a reason she doesn't want to let you know that she knows.

[00:51:56] Right.

[00:51:58] This trifling has been...

[00:51:59] That may not be because of you,

[00:52:01] that may be because she was into some shifts,

[00:52:04] she shouldn't have been.

[00:52:05] Right.

[00:52:06] What is the expectation that me and

[00:52:10] Hastings and Kazim are going to be doing?

[00:52:13] You haven't said it to her,

[00:52:15] but clearly you can tell from this interaction she didn't expect to see you.

[00:52:17] But she has invited you to breakfast.

[00:52:19] Okay.

[00:52:20] We'll sit down to breakfast and we'll try and figure out what exactly we're supposed to be doing.

[00:52:25] Yes, I would...

[00:52:27] Because there are toes here that we do not know that we might be stepping on.

[00:52:30] Correct.

[00:52:32] See, here's excellent.

[00:52:34] Americans eggs in bacon, they do that quite well in London.

[00:52:37] They're quite used to that if that's what you prefer.

[00:52:41] But yes, happy to.

[00:52:42] Converse and have a bit of breakfast.

[00:52:44] She orders some tea and some water and some juice

[00:52:47] and you all sort of sit around a very relatively nice hotel

[00:52:51] and she does not seem to lead the conversation.

[00:52:56] So I'll leave you to leave.

[00:52:58] So tell me, where have you studied?

[00:53:02] And then we need to look for...

[00:53:04] Yeah, connections between...

[00:53:06] I can't remember where did Rissom...

[00:53:08] Cambridge.

[00:53:09] Cambridge.

[00:53:10] Okay.

[00:53:10] In Germany.

[00:53:12] So that's my...

[00:53:13] I'm trying to think how else they could have been...

[00:53:15] Well, yeah, yeah.

[00:53:18] In my five.

[00:53:18] Oh, oh, yeah, oh, shit.

[00:53:20] Yeah, that's it.

[00:53:20] She gives you a sort of a very broad personal history of studies in England.

[00:53:28] You know, she's been to a few archaeological places.

[00:53:30] She started teaching at Cambridge.

[00:53:33] Oh, nice moon chart, Jeff.

[00:53:34] Right around 99, 2000.

[00:53:37] So when she started at Cambridge...

[00:53:39] Very broad.

[00:53:40] Nothing that sort of peaks your interest.

[00:53:42] Cambridge is probably the closest connection to Rissom.

[00:53:45] I know, correct.

[00:53:46] Okay, 99, 2000.

[00:53:50] Thank you.

[00:53:50] Okay, I'm sorry.

[00:53:51] I was looking up the stuff on Rissom.

[00:53:53] What did she say?

[00:53:54] A very bland.

[00:53:55] Nothing.

[00:53:56] There's not a huge amount of detail about her.

[00:53:59] I'll look some more but she gives you a very broad history

[00:54:02] of studying in a few places and going on some...

[00:54:05] some expeditions and working in different places.

[00:54:09] I wonder if she's ever been to the University of Mosul.

[00:54:12] Oh, excuse me.

[00:54:13] Yes, we'll call it a...

[00:54:14] No, probably needs to be associated.

[00:54:18] Since he was a professor at the University of Mosul from 67 to 97.

[00:54:22] I don't want to use the little rest of his.

[00:54:24] Yeah, that's good.

[00:54:25] Interesting.

[00:54:27] How did that escape me?

[00:54:28] He was a member of the Bath Party.

[00:54:30] Significance?

[00:54:31] Pretty much from what I read about the Bath Party

[00:54:34] because I know a lot of people think that when we did the Bath Party purge,

[00:54:38] were they Americans?

[00:54:40] And I racked that it was a very, very poor idea

[00:54:42] because being part of the Bath Party was just kind of like something you had to do to survive.

[00:54:46] So a lot of professors were just part of the Bath Party because...

[00:54:48] Yeah.

[00:54:49] But the idea was that the Bath Party is what continued to allow Saddam to be in power.

[00:54:53] Right.

[00:54:54] Mosul's Nazis.

[00:54:55] What's that?

[00:54:55] It's probably a bit much but I don't think it's far off.

[00:54:58] There was the Arab Socialist Bath Party.

[00:55:01] Interesting.

[00:55:02] No, I don't have more information on her but I will take a...

[00:55:05] We'll call it a bureaucracy role.

[00:55:09] 3542.

[00:55:10] Okay.

[00:55:11] I'm going to 45 under...

[00:55:13] Nope.

[00:55:14] Check it.

[00:55:15] Check it.

[00:55:16] Oh yeah, thank you.

[00:55:18] Hastings realizes that she's sceptitiously...

[00:55:21] She sort of meanders around like a 20 year period between like the...

[00:55:26] say the 80s and the 90s.

[00:55:27] Like she's sort of describing some things like oh yes,

[00:55:29] this is a girl I studied here and I went to Yorkshire and I did this and I...

[00:55:33] And I studied in London and I you know, but there's like a...

[00:55:36] There's a period in there.

[00:55:38] You're not quite sure where but there's like a chunk that is kind of missing.

[00:55:41] Like it's hidden in a black box.

[00:55:43] I'm trying to think so she's...

[00:55:45] How do I put this?

[00:55:46] So she's supposed to be 70 years old.

[00:55:48] It's 2016.

[00:55:50] So...

[00:55:51] You take 16 off of that.

[00:55:53] That's...

[00:55:54] She would have been...

[00:55:56] 54 in 2000.

[00:55:57] So 54 in 2000.

[00:55:59] So she talks a lot of like...

[00:56:01] You get the sense that like there's a 20 year gap like...

[00:56:04] Basically, the last two decades of her career.

[00:56:07] No, the last two decades of her career are sort of Cambridge.

[00:56:11] So there's like a between sort of like school and starting at Cambridge in her 50s.

[00:56:17] There's kind of like she's not super specific.

[00:56:20] So say her so she was if she was 70 in 2016.

[00:56:23] So you're saying she's 54.

[00:56:25] She was she would have born in born with a B.

[00:56:29] In the 50s something like that.

[00:56:31] Does that make sense?

[00:56:32] There's definitely a period of like prime...

[00:56:34] This is when you should be working.

[00:56:36] She's kind of skirting around exactly what she was doing.

[00:56:39] She was born in 46.

[00:56:40] Okay, so she was born in 46.

[00:56:42] There's a period of her career like in the prime 30s, 40s, 50s that she's not talking about.

[00:56:47] Pre-...

[00:56:48] Pre-Ecidemics.

[00:56:49] Correct.

[00:56:50] Hey, I went to school and I did this.

[00:56:52] After study prior to career and academics.

[00:56:54] Yes, there is a gap there that she's not talking about.

[00:56:58] Uh, and how about you Susan?

[00:56:59] Which would have been like 70s through mid 90s.

[00:57:02] We have or saw those journals we should have checked for her name.

[00:57:05] We still can still good.

[00:57:07] She's just going to make small talks so if you want to replace small talk she's going to make small talk.

[00:57:11] She is just so you know that's prime time when he was at university at Mosul as a professor.

[00:57:15] She is from 67 to 97.

[00:57:19] She's going to politely make conversation.

[00:57:21] She doesn't appear to care about bringing up any of the topics that you've hired her on

[00:57:26] or talking anymore in depth than she has to about the topics that you seem to be bringing up.

[00:57:31] So if you wanted to talk about things, you're going to have to push the envelope.

[00:57:34] Well, I mean are we someplace where we could talk about?

[00:57:37] I assume you're in the hotel dining room.

[00:57:39] Right.

[00:57:39] So I'm sure it's London so I'm sure a dining area in a hotel on what says a Wednesday morning

[00:57:46] or something is busy.

[00:57:48] I wouldn't call it private.

[00:57:49] I mean you might even be able to just pop in and buy a meal there.

[00:57:53] I would just suppose even if you're not somebody who's...

[00:57:55] She's a 70 year old British woman.

[00:57:57] She thinks it's important to sit and have tea.

[00:57:59] Yeah, no that's not my point.

[00:58:00] My point was that there could be people just from the public here that are not necessarily even staying here.

[00:58:05] Right.

[00:58:06] Yes.

[00:58:06] Correct.

[00:58:07] It could be actually a restaurant attached like people maybe popping in for breakfast.

[00:58:12] Yeah Susan will do the whole.

[00:58:14] This is where I went to school.

[00:58:16] Georgetown.

[00:58:17] Yeah.

[00:58:18] Just small guy studied here in London actually for a while.

[00:58:21] Oh really?

[00:58:22] Excellent.

[00:58:23] She'll hone in on that and kind of talk about various British or English pastimes.

[00:58:28] Okay.

[00:58:29] Eventually she will turn the conversation to what exactly this research is going to look like

[00:58:35] and what are we expected, or expected not to do.

[00:58:40] It's a good seam right?

[00:58:41] Mm-hmm.

[00:58:45] I'm going to have a bit of water.

[00:58:47] The seam is this your first time in London?

[00:58:50] Uh no.

[00:58:52] I traveled here when I was younger with my family.

[00:58:55] Oh, excellent.

[00:58:57] Yeah.

[00:58:57] Uh did you two enjoy the nightlife of London as it were?

[00:59:02] I wish I was young enough to enjoy the nightlife but

[00:59:07] I can't get more than a few drinks in without wanting to fall asleep.

[00:59:12] I understand.

[00:59:13] Bed by nine for me.

[00:59:14] Yeah I'm not much of a drink.

[00:59:16] Uh all business then I suppose.

[00:59:19] No uh no enjoyment of the various types that London has to offer?

[00:59:24] Oh no, I enjoyed too much of it.

[00:59:25] Oh really?

[00:59:26] Yeah.

[00:59:27] See.

[00:59:29] A lyrgness roll Jeff.

[00:59:32] Hot four under 20.

[00:59:35] She stares at you intently at that comment.

[00:59:39] She doesn't say anything but she something flashes over her eyes that is disturbing.

[00:59:44] Confused.

[00:59:45] Intently scrutinizing you based on that statement.

[00:59:48] She'll hold up a chip.

[00:59:49] Uh if you'll indulge an old woman,

[00:59:53] well would you mind letting me take a look at that?

[00:59:56] I can't say I've ever seen one outside of movies.

[00:59:58] Yeah I don't know it's not in her thing but I think with the

[01:00:02] with the ship that she went through she probably.

[01:00:05] Sure.

[01:00:05] drank.

[01:00:06] Sure.

[01:00:06] Yeah 10-year chip.

[01:00:07] Uh I almost say I'm sorry to ask that as it seems like quite an accomplishment.

[01:00:13] She sort of sets it down very reverently.

[01:00:15] Good for you dear.

[01:00:16] We get through understood.

[01:00:18] So you seem like we endure.

[01:00:22] But yeah that was definitely odd.

[01:00:24] Sorry Spencer you were saying?

[01:00:26] Oh so is there anything that you recommend to do in the city?

[01:00:31] Do you get out much?

[01:00:32] No no.

[01:00:35] As a woman several decades older than you sir

[01:00:38] I tend to sit alone at home and read with the dog.

[01:00:43] That sounds delightful at my age as well.

[01:00:46] It's good.

[01:00:47] There's a sort of a it's almost like you've passed the test.

[01:00:49] You know how an old people talk to you and you feel like you're being scrutinized?

[01:00:53] There's there's something in the interaction that you don't quite understand

[01:00:56] that is just taking place.

[01:00:58] Uh sorry um I had I had presumed that you would like me to review your data

[01:01:04] and take a look at the the museum's information and sort of compile that for you

[01:01:09] I didn't necessarily intend to have company as it were.

[01:01:13] I'm not opposed to it but it was unexpected.

[01:01:17] You of course are the ones funding me so um

[01:01:19] I suppose ultimately you sort of make the decisions.

[01:01:21] I don't want you to feel like we're checking up on you or anything

[01:01:24] I just thought we would help.

[01:01:26] Of course um it is unusual but I'm sure we can secure.

[01:01:30] Obviously both of you are.

[01:01:31] A PhDs uh you know um uh

[01:01:34] Cassimio you doct she would refer to you by titles

[01:01:37] but I don't know Cassimio's last name.

[01:01:39] Doctor something um um um um um um um um um um um um um um um um um um

[01:01:42] Dromala may not necessarily be the um quite have the right credentials

[01:01:47] but i'm sure that we can uh convince him to get in.

[01:01:49] Wonderful um yes it's a lot of dreary uh sorting through images I suppose um yeah

[01:01:56] we're sort of used to that okay of course um

[01:01:59] got my doctorate and sorting through dreary images

[01:02:02] so good good like you said it it'll be a bit unusual for me but um

[01:02:07] well financing the trip we don't want to get in your way.

[01:02:09] No no I think if if your chain of command finds it appropriate

[01:02:14] I think that we can make things work

[01:02:17] It is an amicable trip after all

[01:02:20] I'll be honest our chain of command hasn't given us much in the way of protocol

[01:02:25] If if worst if we're about to step on some of these toes

[01:02:29] I would appreciate a little bit of a heads up

[01:02:32] Of course um it's not intentional

[01:02:35] Sorry i'm thinking she would make a reference

[01:02:38] And I want to make sure i make the accurate reference

[01:02:42] I meant to look this up earlier i could please read

[01:02:44] Yes uh um so that's right

[01:02:48] theoretically if she's in my five and they're telling her to find out what we know

[01:02:51] Wouldn't she have already known that as she never saw

[01:02:53] What would this end of the game?

[01:02:55] A bit like uh a bit like uh i expected the Geneva summit of 85

[01:03:01] Not quite rachovic but sure we can make it work

[01:03:03] Jeff doesn't get that reference but her history is high enough she probably does

[01:03:07] Yeah no uh it's the meeting uh the meetings between reg and engorbitrachov

[01:03:11] They first met in 85 and then they actually sat out and talked in rachovic

[01:03:15] And i think it was 87

[01:03:16] Gotcha so you're talking about the the east and the west

[01:03:19] Leaders sitting down for the first time and talking about nuclear disarmament

[01:03:23] She's placing a weight on your breakfast

[01:03:25] She's born on eggshells you necessarily don't understand

[01:03:28] She knows rassan name is research

[01:03:31] Which contextualizing that may make sense of why you're offered to help is a bit

[01:03:35] Concerning to her her command chain may have just said hey you're agreed to do this

[01:03:40] You're being very friendly let me help and that is

[01:03:43] Disconcerting maybe there are a few other things going on but

[01:03:46] Just something to play with

[01:03:48] And if you want to cross table talk feel free but well i mean

[01:03:51] Haystings would be very curious about what's about the the context of that reference and everything like that

[01:03:57] And would be asking questions

[01:04:00] Trying not to be like overt and everything like that but

[01:04:05] What kind of what kind of relationship do our mutual but benefactors have

[01:04:10] They really do compartmentalize don't they?

[01:04:13] We didn't even know there was another benefactor until they said no don't go there without letting us call ahead

[01:04:20] Sweetie

[01:04:21] The last time you and she puts definite emphasis on that word as she taps her hand

[01:04:26] We're in London

[01:04:28] You left cold bodies behind now like a lot

[01:04:32] I really want to quote the doctor who thing where uh what's this fucking line where it's like

[01:04:36] She's a five a lot and he's like what she said five friends no five deaths yes

[01:04:43] Nine pennies no nine dicks that's a lot

[01:04:48] Thanks Tom Siger

[01:04:51] Um

[01:04:52] Let's just say so we're saying cland gang bang brim

[01:04:56] No, I know you got it. I'm glad you did i remember that reference

[01:05:00] I love that his podcast yes

[01:05:02] Let's just say this side of the pond knows how to clean house

[01:05:06] I'm not sure

[01:05:08] Not sure about our

[01:05:11] rebellious friends on the other side of the Atlantic

[01:05:15] We've had our problems we've taken care of them they're not an issue

[01:05:18] I can't say the same for you right

[01:05:20] I would like to not become the next issue here

[01:05:24] I would suggest we both stay on our sides of what is the reference sorry um 19th century histories

[01:05:31] Not my forte the mason dixon line shall we say?

[01:05:35] Just be cautious there are many factors at play and i think that neither of you really understand

[01:05:40] No, we don't um

[01:05:42] It's kind of way i'm asking now because i didn't expect this much of a surprise to us showing up to help out

[01:05:48] Yes, I understand the the american need to keep it secrets from its own agents

[01:05:54] I am far removed from the game but i'm happy to take your money and assist

[01:06:00] If you'd like to help i'm not opposed

[01:06:03] I just think that we should proceed deliberately we have minors. I assumed

[01:06:10] We don't need to worry about them

[01:06:12] But i do think that you should understand the gravity of this encounter

[01:06:17] First time in quite some time and i must say that also sort of nervous so

[01:06:22] Right and i don't want to

[01:06:25] oh

[01:06:26] I don't want to distract you from the work that you that we need you to do

[01:06:30] Ultimately, what is your goal jiff?

[01:06:32] Want to be a part of it? Do you not want to be a part of it she wants to figure out what the fuck's going on

[01:06:39] DG the game yeah

[01:06:41] Also just a reminder that rassam was an intelligence asset for both the cia and m6

[01:06:48] Yeah up until the original golf war 91

[01:06:51] Which i mean tur black out period timeline

[01:06:53] She might have been as handler for whole you know just a visit head up potential

[01:06:58] Because we know she knows rassam potential connection point being that right does it matter?

[01:07:03] I don't know i don't even well i for one

[01:07:06] I'm enjoying this delightful breakfast

[01:07:09] Look good glad you enjoy english cuisine

[01:07:11] I don't think everyone who visits london does black pudding is fucking awesome

[01:07:16] I really wish i could remember what i had but broger took a picture of it because she was so

[01:07:21] Disgusted and it was delicious, but it was like i just described all of

[01:07:25] British cuisine yeah no pretty much

[01:07:28] It was like a corn beef hash ball

[01:07:31] Like with a with essentially a barely warmed up sunny side egg on top of it

[01:07:36] So you had like raw egg with the salty corn beef hash all mixed together

[01:07:41] It was delicious she gagged when it came out yeah sounds running

[01:07:46] Well once you kind of got it all mixed together then it was kind of like the egg

[01:07:50] Had just kind of naturally mixed with the hash and it was kind of a salty meaty runny egg mess

[01:07:56] I can't do runny eggs

[01:07:58] Yeah i love running eggs with toast because you take the toast and nope fuck that

[01:08:02] I love like a cutting to that egg just let that

[01:08:05] Everywhere and just scoop that up with toast

[01:08:08] I've had to learn to cook them because that's how a Lisa likes it but i can't do that

[01:08:11] What about i don't like eggs that much to begin with monster

[01:08:14] What about uh my mom always called them my mother always called them dippy eggs

[01:08:19] We ever had where you cook them in the baking grease you cook them over easy

[01:08:22] But you cook them in baking grease. It's just a fried eggs what we call

[01:08:25] Yep

[01:08:26] So as I watch out it was filled everything cooked in baking

[01:08:29] I've always heard of dippy eggs as being like when you poached well she would poach them in the baking grease

[01:08:34] Oh, so she would like would you pull that off?

[01:08:37] Holy crap what so you put instead of in a skillet it would be in something that was a little deeper so the whole

[01:08:42] leg could go into it yeah that makes more sense yeah

[01:08:45] So it's like the it's almost to be like the inside of us

[01:08:47] Yeah you can poach a skillet with the oil you just spoon the hot oil

[01:08:52] Correct so you would you would take you would take like a she would usually do them in like a what do you call that

[01:08:57] uh

[01:08:58] The side grill that you make stuff in the the

[01:09:02] mom yeah, yeah, no, what is that called um riddle? Yeah, grittle yeah like a grittle right

[01:09:08] I like to riddle okay, so she'd fry up the bacon and when you fried up the bacon now you got you know

[01:09:14] Bacon grease that's uh, you know i'm half an inch thick or whatever but then she cracked it

[01:09:19] No, that's a lot of fucking bacon

[01:09:22] I cooked like two pounds of bacon at a time and I do not have that much grease. There's no way now

[01:09:26] But you fry the eggs in there and then you spoon the bacon grease on top of it as you cook it so you would look with like a poached egg

[01:09:33] But it's covered in the the flex of the cooked bacon and everything else

[01:09:37] I'm hungry man man stop. I mean she would cook it a little bit farther than sunny side up

[01:09:42] But yeah technically I mean over easy is flipped yeah

[01:09:45] No, you wouldn't flip it

[01:09:46] But the thing is the heat would slowly cook right was you're spooning that hot oil on top it's cooking it

[01:09:51] Yeah

[01:09:52] So to me sunny side up is you didn't cook the top of the egg

[01:09:56] Yeah with the spooning of the hot grease on top of it the top of the egg would I get which made with poached

[01:10:01] It would cook it wouldn't be straight runny, but then you had that nice gross

[01:10:05] My wife's gonna wake up it like an over easier and over medium-a with that hot oil

[01:10:09] My wife's gonna wake up at one o'clock in the morning be like well, look do I smell bacon

[01:10:13] Spencer's in there's spooning oil

[01:10:16] I make a dip. Yeah great idea like it

[01:10:19] That's good. It's it's not good for you, but god is it honestly? It's not bad for me

[01:10:24] No, it's good for fat. Oh no, it's not good for because it's salty fat

[01:10:28] Well, I'm gonna continue to lie to myself. Okay

[01:10:32] Sam and it is good for you

[01:10:34] Yeah, that's fair. Hey cooking's making that because you know you cook it

[01:10:37] You get like six pieces and then you set the other six or seven in the pan

[01:10:41] But time you get those done you only got two pieces

[01:10:44] I want the help. That's why I put them in the oven

[01:10:48] It also depends on what kind of bacon you like like I like I like chewy bacon

[01:10:53] Which I think I'm a cut thick cut with two seas. I don't mind the thick cut

[01:10:58] But it's gotta be I don't want to bite into it and it snaps. I want to chew it

[01:11:02] I want

[01:11:03] Right in between

[01:11:05] Oh, yeah, so it's a little chewy but a little crispy at the same time

[01:11:08] And it feels almost like a tumulti as you chew it that that is exactly right

[01:11:13] Anyway

[01:11:14] So there's breakfasts talk with the rancor's brothel. Yeah, I'm starving now

[01:11:18] Yeah, no, I had it. There used to be a denny's I don't know if there's a denny's over there anymore

[01:11:22] Man, I haven't had denny's a long time. It's garbage

[01:11:25] But when it went but when you're in the mood, it's like

[01:11:29] There's a denny's in a where is there still a shun

[01:11:31] Sunshine cafe was probably near probably near

[01:11:34] The exit of 69 I bet there's a sunshine cafe and that's about 20 bucks

[01:11:40] God there used to be one on East Washington. I'd be in there. Yep. I knew it

[01:11:44] There's a sunshine cafe in Muncie

[01:11:46] Still open 7 a.m. Tomorrow

[01:11:54] Definitely cooking eggs and bacon grease in the morning hell yeah, brother

[01:11:58] I'm gonna have to go pretty soon that is probably a terrible place to end

[01:12:03] I don't know you guys are talking to her

[01:12:05] I don't I feel like she isn't in a nigma

[01:12:08] Yeah

[01:12:09] And I'm I'm struggling to fully I feel like she was scrutinizing you

[01:12:14] And decided that you were actually being honest and it's not just all bullshit. It could be yeah

[01:12:19] Because you like actually revealed something about yourself. Yeah, I want to I want to get to a point where

[01:12:25] I want to get to the library

[01:12:26] I want to see if we can get in and I want to before we leave and I want to I want to get that

[01:12:30] I want to get this started if you want to move from breakfast you can go straight to

[01:12:35] Jeff you move from breakfast. Yeah, I'm all good uh

[01:12:37] So you go to the British museum and I mean to legally get murdered

[01:12:42] Oh

[01:12:43] It's a historical read that me

[01:12:46] She can get you both access. You both have credentials

[01:12:50] They can note you that you are professors interested in stuff and she can sort of take you to the archives

[01:12:58] So she's not actually physically reviewing the tablets? No, it's a digital correct

[01:13:04] So I mean you're all sort of in my anofish

[01:13:07] You're all sort of in a in a cubicle kind of and she's like clicking through them on a computer

[01:13:13] So that's kind of why you think that she one of the reasons why she might have been like what are you going to do?

[01:13:18] Oh, she's she's like clicking through images and she's kind of saying okay

[01:13:22] What do you have and what can you share with me and I can start to look at the translations and see where I can fill in the gaps

[01:13:28] Okay, is there um is there only one station?

[01:13:32] Could she sort of set up at one station theoretically?

[01:13:37] Susan could do another station if that's what you guys wanted to do yeah, let's see that I don't know what

[01:13:41] Casine would do um yeah, that's that's a that's a great question. I just hang out

[01:13:47] I there's literally nothing I can do

[01:13:49] Um but I do not want to leave them. I don't want to go out on my own

[01:13:53] I want to play it safe. I want to stay here

[01:13:55] Did you guys take resums notes with you?

[01:13:57] I would presume not they were using the notes with part of the translation code

[01:14:03] Well, I mean you could be a stab machine context to reach back out to alribini who's gonna be in Baghdad

[01:14:09] That if you guys have questions about anything being like what are his notes on this yeah, it's a good idea

[01:14:14] Uh

[01:14:15] Cassine make me an alertness role

[01:14:19] Nope

[01:14:20] Okay

[01:14:21] Everything's everything's good. How's your alertness roll not a hundred at this point?

[01:14:25] I know right. Yeah, did you fail to every single every single time?

[01:14:30] Uh

[01:14:31] So seems an agadise not really worth it

[01:14:34] We're on a failed alertness role that sounds great Spencer needs to go that sounds like an ending not a great ending

[01:14:41] Especially not a great ending for you guys but fail the alertness
