Delta Green - Iconoclasts 32

[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.

[00:00:13] The Rancors Brothel presents

[00:00:30] The Rancors Brothel

[00:00:44] Iconoclast, a campaign of horrors modern and ancient.

[00:01:00] The Rancors Brothel

[00:01:12] Jeff, can Hastings make an alertness rule please?

[00:01:16] probably not.

[00:01:21] No.

[00:01:22] Hastings feels herself jerked into an upright position into a lit room.

[00:01:30] Bleary-eyed as the hotel room comes into focus.

[00:01:36] I love how in hotel rooms they always have that desk that nobody uses, right?

[00:01:40] Like there's a spot like for whatever.

[00:01:43] There's always like a semi-comfortable but not really comfortable chair.

[00:01:48] And so at the foot of the bed, the chair has been turned around and there's an excellently

[00:01:54] dressed suit and tie gentleman.

[00:01:59] Say he's balding, clean shaven.

[00:02:03] He's sort of fiddling with his cuffs.

[00:02:06] You realize that you didn't sit yourself up but you're in a seated position.

[00:02:10] You realize incredibly strong arms are holding you, which is how you got up.

[00:02:17] And at least one hand is clamped over your mouth.

[00:02:22] You can see out of the corner of your eye but it's strong enough that you can't turn

[00:02:25] your head.

[00:02:26] I feel like a sandroll is probably in order unless you're adapted to helplessness.

[00:02:32] You're not adapted to helplessness, are you?

[00:02:34] Yeah, she is.

[00:02:35] Oh, well, bully for you.

[00:02:36] You don't care.

[00:02:38] Good evening, Dr. Hastings.

[00:02:40] It's a bit early actually.

[00:02:42] It's half three.

[00:02:43] Where did you want to have a chat?

[00:02:45] Sorry, we weren't sure how you would take to being approached.

[00:02:50] If you'll nod your understanding, I'll have my associate remove his hand so you can

[00:02:55] speak freely.

[00:02:57] Please note that he is armed and very strong and by the time the scream escapes

[00:03:03] your lips, you'll probably be bleeding out.

[00:03:05] I'd hate to be so boorish, but I feel that it's best to lay out terms.

[00:03:08] I wanted to talk to you guys.

[00:03:10] So here we are.

[00:03:12] What brings you to say such interesting things about defection, Dr. Hastings?

[00:03:20] I think that I have a target on my back and well, another one.

[00:03:27] Droll.

[00:03:28] I've got to have some place to go.

[00:03:30] I have to make myself absent enough that my family is not a target.

[00:03:38] As you begin talking, he sort of pulls out a little.

[00:03:40] He sort of opens up the jacket and he's got a little notebook and he's starting to sort

[00:03:43] of like it's got a very nice fountain pen and he kind of begins to mark in it.

[00:03:48] Yes.

[00:03:49] A husband Ronald to children Samantha and Riley, I believe.

[00:03:53] Yeah.

[00:03:54] They're all well.

[00:03:57] Last you heard.

[00:03:58] Last I heard, yes.

[00:03:59] Our sources say to, but the decision to sort of abandon your home country patronage is a

[00:04:06] bit odd.

[00:04:07] I must say just simply because you feel like you have a target on your back.

[00:04:09] I feel like a woman in your position and investigating what you're investigating and

[00:04:13] doing whatever sort of dreadful things you're doing in the Middle East would be

[00:04:17] used to such sorts of sorts of things.

[00:04:19] Have you gotten cold feet as they say?

[00:04:23] Not so much cold feet.

[00:04:26] The danger that I've been put in has never been coming from the people who I'm supposed

[00:04:30] to be working for.

[00:04:32] And how long you've been working for them?

[00:04:34] Hell, I don't know.

[00:04:36] Jeff doesn't know.

[00:04:40] My apologies for being crude, but my dear, you're either incredibly lucky or fool.

[00:04:46] Yep.

[00:04:47] Are you familiar the last time?

[00:04:49] You're not you of course, but you're your distinguished colleagues were here

[00:04:55] in London.

[00:04:57] I think Dr. Hale said that there were bodies left on the ground.

[00:05:03] Yes, it was a massacre quite literally.

[00:05:06] Blamed it on the Irish quite quite useful.

[00:05:10] But yes, you know, we're not very happy that the last time that your team was here,

[00:05:15] they spilt our blood in droves.

[00:05:17] They may have been right in some ways to do so, but it's kind of unfortunate.

[00:05:21] And are you familiar with the story that?

[00:05:24] No.

[00:05:25] It explains quite a bit.

[00:05:26] I honestly didn't have any idea that you guys were here

[00:05:30] until we let our handler know that we were planning to come here to do some research.

[00:05:35] Apartmentalization, is that it?

[00:05:38] He sort of turns to the side and nods

[00:05:40] and somebody else walks into the room and they take

[00:05:44] you see them click on like a high powered pen light

[00:05:48] and he comes up and grabs your face and starts shining it in your eyes.

[00:05:52] Just left and right, left and right, left and right.

[00:05:55] Anytime you try and jerk or move even subconsciously,

[00:05:59] both he and the guy behind you are just holding your face as tight as they can.

[00:06:04] After, I don't know, 15, 20 seconds, you kind of blink away the stars

[00:06:07] and the guy holding the pen light steps back

[00:06:10] and he sort of nods to that guy and he waves his hand and waves him off.

[00:06:14] You don't have any bugs we searched.

[00:06:16] They couldn't get any in here anyway, if they tried.

[00:06:18] You're basically on the other side of the wall, shall we say?

[00:06:22] Why should I believe you?

[00:06:24] What have you got to lose?

[00:06:25] Their point.

[00:06:25] I'm the one putting all my cards on the table.

[00:06:28] Are you trying to do you know if you are?

[00:06:31] That's a good point. No.

[00:06:35] You see him, you see him sort of wave sort of off to the side

[00:06:38] and you hear the hotel room door open and then close.

[00:06:41] Dr. Hastings, one last test.

[00:06:43] If you'd be so amenable, we'd like to allow you to get dressed.

[00:06:47] We'd like you to come with us.

[00:06:50] You'll be blindfolded.

[00:06:51] One last test we need to do.

[00:06:54] OK, any sort of hostility or you just kind of going with the flow?

[00:06:57] No, she'd be going with the flow. OK.

[00:07:01] You are taken downstairs into the garage, put in a car.

[00:07:06] Once inside the car with tinted windows, you are blindfolded.

[00:07:09] Yeah. So sorry, dear.

[00:07:12] We'll need to keep this quiet for a moment.

[00:07:14] It is what it is.

[00:07:17] So you are.

[00:07:21] You go on a significantly long car ride.

[00:07:25] My my apologies for the improper etiquette, but you'll need to be carried.

[00:07:30] OK, you get out of the car.

[00:07:33] You're lifted.

[00:07:34] You suddenly become supine, which makes sense.

[00:07:37] And you feel yourself put down on like a bed

[00:07:40] and it begins to roll.

[00:07:41] You're clearly on a gurney of some sort.

[00:07:43] Oh, sweet.

[00:07:44] And then the straps tightened down.

[00:07:47] Anything just making sure.

[00:07:49] Give me the if any time you want to interrupt the narrative

[00:07:52] or if you want to say anything, I just move in here along.

[00:07:54] I mean, she she knows that she is in this up to her ears.

[00:07:58] OK, there's not much going back at this point.

[00:08:01] There would be helpless this rolls, but I really feel like she's.

[00:08:03] She is completely dissociated. Yeah.

[00:08:06] The gurney around starts to move faster and faster.

[00:08:10] Doesn't feel like there's any hands on it anymore.

[00:08:12] All of a sudden, you feel a lack of gravity and then splash.

[00:08:18] No, actually, you know, sometimes like when the car is driving

[00:08:21] and then you go through a tunnel and you get that home noise

[00:08:24] as everything closes in, you hear the home noise

[00:08:27] and then you hear very loud mechanical bangings

[00:08:31] like an out of date MRI machine.

[00:08:34] And then if this goes on for twenty five thirty minutes,

[00:08:38] then you feel the gurney roll out and the bands release

[00:08:41] and they lift you up and pull the hood off.

[00:08:43] So sorry, dear, had to make sure you appear to be in a hospital.

[00:08:46] OK, can I ask what you're looking for or should I not?

[00:08:51] It's quite uncouth to ask, but let's say the fact that you're asking me

[00:08:54] that tells me a lot signs of infection. Oh, OK, please.

[00:08:58] It's a bit early, but I know you could offer you a cup of tea

[00:09:03] or coffee, perhaps coffee would be great.

[00:09:07] He waves his hand and thank you for putting up with your deal.

[00:09:10] I can't say that the friendship is by any means solidified,

[00:09:13] but we're happy to talk now.

[00:09:15] I'm the one coming to you for help.

[00:09:17] And the guy comes in sugar, please.

[00:09:20] He puts in some sugar and passes it over. Yeah.

[00:09:23] My dear, welcome to Pisces.

[00:09:26] Now, the only thing I have to ask

[00:09:29] the thing that I've been working on, it needs handled.

[00:09:33] How about have a have a little bit of breakfast

[00:09:36] and why don't you tell me what you know? OK.

[00:09:39] You dirty dog.

[00:09:44] So essentially, Jeff, you are unless you're going to obviously lie

[00:09:48] or say anything false, they're going to debrief you on everything that's going

[00:09:51] on the task force. Absolutely.

[00:09:54] Sweet.

[00:09:55] Thwot ran off of the only person who speaks a Canadian.

[00:10:00] You never know, I may be bringing more resources.

[00:10:03] Oh, I'm sure.

[00:10:06] So we move to the 14th.

[00:10:08] Because Jeff's going to there's a lot of there's a lot of conversations

[00:10:13] going to want to go on a lot of conversation.

[00:10:15] He's just burned all of us.

[00:10:17] By the way, all those digital files of like, when's unknown to a Dodd,

[00:10:22] like notes, the elder sign, the amphora.

[00:10:27] Asshole.

[00:10:30] I ran away. I didn't burn you. That's all I'm saying.

[00:10:35] You were already dead after I left every time.

[00:10:41] It's the 14th, you know, so the country with the supernatural force

[00:10:46] that wants to murder us not looking so bad.

[00:10:49] Let's just run in and die.

[00:10:52] Hey, maybe we get to defect to a stronger team.

[00:10:56] Let's all just become, you know,

[00:10:59] do you think there are only two players in this game?

[00:11:02] I'm talking about to the father of war.

[00:11:06] I mean, Jeff defects.

[00:11:13] Didn't expect to write that on my bingo card.

[00:11:17] Hey, OK.

[00:11:20] Now, if I really had time to thought about it, I'd have made everyone else leave.

[00:11:24] Oh, it's OK. We'll still play as we don't know.

[00:11:28] But I do kind of like that.

[00:11:29] I'm shooting that bitch in the face.

[00:11:32] As soon as I see her.

[00:11:32] Hey, Hastings, how was your blam blam?

[00:11:35] Hey, Hastings, how was your meta?

[00:11:37] Boom, boom, boom.

[00:11:42] I mean, you already got a way to make a lot more money.

[00:11:45] You got one who wants to start a cult.

[00:11:47] One is one who's working for another team.

[00:11:50] Let's see what else we can get.

[00:11:52] Nasser will just join the Peshmerga.

[00:11:56] I guess I'll do what I do best and run away.

[00:11:59] OK, it's it's the 14th again.

[00:12:02] It's going to take a couple days for them to come back with the safe house.

[00:12:04] So I don't know if you guys want to wait around.

[00:12:06] If there's more prep, I've given you a little bit more time to think.

[00:12:08] Or are you just waiting for that information?

[00:12:10] I think we're waiting.

[00:12:11] I mean, is there anything else that you want to do?

[00:12:14] I guess anything else we can do.

[00:12:16] We've spent the money for our grab bags.

[00:12:19] You've got your team in Baghdad as well.

[00:12:21] Hey, think about it this way.

[00:12:23] We're giving don't try and explain the information about wins unknown to a

[00:12:27] dud, so the research is going to go a lot faster.

[00:12:32] Oh, yeah, I didn't think about that.

[00:12:33] Something to change some timelines.

[00:12:35] They don't care about paying hail anymore.

[00:12:37] And then all of a sudden care that for you.

[00:12:39] Yeah, then all of a sudden take care of it for you.

[00:12:43] All of a sudden, some, some, some, some.

[00:12:45] And then there's a British team on the fucking Iraq.

[00:12:48] Oh, who are these people?

[00:12:50] Jerry, a new PMC is on base.

[00:12:53] What's going on here?

[00:12:56] Why do they all speak Arabic and want to know what the previous team was doing?

[00:13:00] And where'd the other team go?

[00:13:04] Oh, played it live.

[00:13:06] To you, the Kroves.

[00:13:08] So flies across the sky.

[00:13:11] And it's just a fucking drone making crowy noise.

[00:13:17] I told you birds aren't real.

[00:13:20] All right.

[00:13:20] You waiting on safe house information or are you doing anything else?

[00:13:23] Because otherwise it'll be a couple of days.

[00:13:24] I think I'm brain broke enough to move on for the next just wait on time.

[00:13:28] OK, a few days have to advance.

[00:13:30] So if you change your mind, let me know.

[00:13:31] Otherwise I'm going to advance it to win.

[00:13:33] Hasseem talks to whatever computer game we play tomorrow.

[00:13:37] I'm killing you, Jeff.

[00:13:38] Nasser

[00:13:41] is a co-op.

[00:13:42] How do you figure out how to do that?

[00:13:44] Have you played Boulder's Gate?

[00:13:49] On the afternoon of the 17th, then Hasseem reaches back out to Nasser.

[00:13:55] He basically points it out on GPS.

[00:13:58] It's something in the middle of the town or

[00:14:00] telling the middle city not far from the river.

[00:14:02] So you'd be on the on the west side of the river,

[00:14:05] but easily enough that you could get across and go to Nineveh

[00:14:08] or the college you get to the hospital.

[00:14:10] So sort of centrally located.

[00:14:12] Thank you, friend. Of course.

[00:14:14] If you need anything while you're in there, call this number.

[00:14:17] We'll see if we can help.

[00:14:18] And so he provides you contacts to the Peshmerga inside.

[00:14:21] That's amazing.

[00:14:22] Thank you. Thank you.

[00:14:23] With Kasseem back on base, he should call Hastings to find out how much

[00:14:27] the stuff we're trying to fence is worth.

[00:14:30] Yeah.

[00:14:31] What we never did get any intel on subterranean.

[00:14:36] What do you think we might need?

[00:14:37] Climbing equipment, stuff like that for the runs.

[00:14:40] I don't know. The runs were subterranean.

[00:14:41] My friend thought there was something we were talking about

[00:14:43] that was underground or maybe it was just a theory that we had.

[00:14:46] I honestly don't remember.

[00:14:48] Yeah, I don't remember anything underground.

[00:14:51] I mean, climbing equipment wouldn't hurt.

[00:14:54] I don't think it would look too sus with ropes and hooks and jazz.

[00:14:58] Why not? You could probably get them.

[00:15:00] We got by knocks.

[00:15:01] Do we want to do anything like night vision or infrared?

[00:15:05] I'm sure night vision would come in handy.

[00:15:07] How much would it cost us?

[00:15:09] There are things to think about night vision.

[00:15:10] Just a friendship.

[00:15:12] The old bastard didn't even listen to me.

[00:15:15] He said how much would night vision cost?

[00:15:16] And I said just a friendship.

[00:15:20] So just cut it because I had to say it twice.

[00:15:24] He doesn't care. He doesn't even pay attention anymore.

[00:15:26] No fucking jerk.

[00:15:29] So the thing about night vision, you could definitely get it.

[00:15:33] It is not something that ISIL has.

[00:15:37] It spells that out in the book

[00:15:38] that it's incredibly ubiquitous on base so you could get it.

[00:15:41] But it is something that is distinctly not likely to be among the right.

[00:15:46] The ice. That's true.

[00:15:48] Go back to the Dana Carvey bit.

[00:15:49] Well, you think about a thousand pairs of these there that you Mr. Hussain.

[00:15:53] I think getting maybe bringing like one set

[00:15:57] could be explained away as it's like a trophy from a kill.

[00:16:01] You know what I mean?

[00:16:02] Like we I think if we all brought night vision, that would be a problem.

[00:16:05] But if we got caught with one set of night vision,

[00:16:09] I want to see whether or not a coalition force has been significantly

[00:16:13] defeated in most recent times to even know if that's a possibility.

[00:16:18] There's skirmishes, but most of the fatalities are definitely on the ISIL side.

[00:16:22] Yeah. I mean, you could do whatever you want.

[00:16:25] But, you know, we paid for it at a market or fucking, you know, of course,

[00:16:30] it's extremely rare, but we could talk our way.

[00:16:33] We could talk our way out of one pair of night vision.

[00:16:37] I mean, you could not talk our way out of four pairs of night vision.

[00:16:40] We got high powered flashlights.

[00:16:41] I mean, it's not like we're going in. Yeah.

[00:16:43] That's true. So I mean, and there are it's not like night vision

[00:16:46] isn't available amongst some of the ISIL fighters,

[00:16:51] but the nice, sweet American versions that are on everybody's head are not.

[00:16:55] The fucking Amazon version is the shit that the Spetsnaz were using 30 years ago.

[00:17:01] That might be available in those.

[00:17:03] We're going to roll through with solar eclipse glass.

[00:17:08] This is somehow worse.

[00:17:10] Hold on, guys.

[00:17:12] It's fucking dark.

[00:17:13] Wait, it's darker.

[00:17:14] Shit.

[00:17:15] It's like those super cool safety glasses where you click the button

[00:17:18] and the three little lights on the rim come on.

[00:17:22] Yeah, so I guess bottom line.

[00:17:23] I'm I'm good with it if we just don't take too much.

[00:17:27] Just buy a hard hat with a fucking flashlight.

[00:17:30] Hold on, guys. Miners hat.

[00:17:32] Yeah.

[00:17:33] Eh, from October sky this shit.

[00:17:36] And then we've got our special vessel, of course, that we created.

[00:17:40] Yeah, the Tupperware thermos.

[00:17:42] And the thermos of doom.

[00:17:46] That's the name of it.

[00:17:48] It's the abyssal thermos.

[00:17:51] What is it going to say?

[00:17:53] OK, going into Mosul then.

[00:17:54] All good. Yes.

[00:17:56] Hastings calls in. She's fine.

[00:17:57] Things are going well. Yep.

[00:17:59] Super great.

[00:18:00] Gravy for the brain.

[00:18:02] Yeah, the researchers really picked up.

[00:18:12] Fuck you, Jeff.

[00:18:14] I love it.

[00:18:18] Remind me, I got to play something separate with you.

[00:18:21] OK.

[00:18:22] Not here, not now, but let me let me think about it.

[00:18:25] Yeah.

[00:18:28] Because the research would definitely pick up.

[00:18:31] It's almost like it's almost like it's really hard to understand

[00:18:34] Dune if you only watch the second part.

[00:18:35] Yeah.

[00:18:37] It's like, what?

[00:18:40] Who are these Benny Jezret people?

[00:18:42] These Benny Jezret people.

[00:18:44] I don't understand.

[00:18:45] Pronounce as Benny like you've got a token that you can play in a game.

[00:18:48] Yeah, the Benny Jezret.

[00:18:50] You're going to play your Benny Jezret to reroll?

[00:18:52] Stand.

[00:18:54] How the fuck don't they just run?

[00:18:57] Doing this stupid walk.

[00:18:59] Oh, my God.

[00:19:01] You know, I really hope you guys can't see this,

[00:19:04] but Shroeder has just been glaring at me for the last hour.

[00:19:08] Like, I really hope you utterly fucked the entire campaign by doing what you did.

[00:19:13] I did that like no matter what we do, even more so.

[00:19:18] And then the fact that I'm just like, yeah,

[00:19:21] like I can't wait to play a pivotal co-op game and fuck the whole game.

[00:19:30] And it's going to happen sometime in the future

[00:19:33] that you and I are going to play a game together.

[00:19:35] And I'm going to be like, turnabouts fair play, Jeff.

[00:19:37] That's all I'm going to say.

[00:19:40] We're going to be running out of the building,

[00:19:42] trying to get away from the horror, whatever it is.

[00:19:45] And he's going to back over me with a car.

[00:19:50] And you'll deserve it.

[00:19:52] I love it. I'm here for it.

[00:19:54] So who's driving your Toyota, your Humvee, whatever you got?

[00:19:59] Toyota.

[00:20:01] I can't even breathe.

[00:20:03] There is a 52 drive.

[00:20:07] I don't give a fuck whoever.

[00:20:08] Nasser, he's got 60.

[00:20:10] There's Nasser.

[00:20:11] As you're driving, Nasser.

[00:20:15] Fucking game. I love it.

[00:20:19] Can I roll the dance?

[00:20:20] I'm looking at something.

[00:20:22] Are you Nasser, are you are you driving?

[00:20:26] Just are you just driving the roads?

[00:20:27] Are you driving like through the desert or how are you getting to Mosul?

[00:20:31] We're driving the roads, bro.

[00:20:32] OK, let's check it.

[00:20:33] Military science, please.

[00:20:37] Nope.

[00:20:38] Mosul's out.

[00:20:39] I 95.

[00:20:42] From home, we got four people.

[00:20:43] We're going to Maine.

[00:20:44] Let's go.

[00:20:45] And say we got to we got four in here.

[00:20:48] We can take the we can take the carpool lane.

[00:20:53] And you've got the the beacon on right?

[00:20:55] Yeah.

[00:20:57] Mm hmm.

[00:21:01] It takes you from Kirk Cook to like get into where you're in sort of an active war zone

[00:21:06] takes about an hour, like like, you know, after about 45 minutes to an hour that you

[00:21:12] are in where life fire is happening, everything's sporadic.

[00:21:15] There aren't divided lines.

[00:21:16] So, you know, it gets a little weird.

[00:21:19] Let's make a let's make a drive roll.

[00:21:21] Just just see how it goes to see how you're doing.

[00:21:24] Let's go.

[00:21:26] That doesn't sound good.

[00:21:27] Seventy one over sixty.

[00:21:29] Could be worse.

[00:21:30] Can I make a navigate roll?

[00:21:32] Sure.

[00:21:33] Come on, buddy.

[00:21:33] Save my we're not in Mosul yet.

[00:21:37] No, every seven over fifty.

[00:21:40] I'm done rolling.

[00:21:41] I have not passed a roll yet.

[00:21:43] Oh, yeah, we need to check.

[00:21:47] The heck, Nasser, it was one road.

[00:21:50] There's only one road left in the whole fucking country.

[00:21:54] As you are as you are driving.

[00:21:58] So who is at the driving, Spencer?

[00:22:00] Nasser.

[00:22:01] Nasser.

[00:22:01] Is Nasser is driving?

[00:22:04] You know, just setting the scene, right?

[00:22:06] It's it's midday.

[00:22:07] The sun is up.

[00:22:07] It's like 90 fucking degrees out because you're in the Middle East.

[00:22:11] You got your lovely isoflag hanging off the back of your Humvee,

[00:22:14] like all good, you know, true whatever those fucks are.

[00:22:19] Warriors of the faith.

[00:22:20] Right.

[00:22:20] War that's a great one.

[00:22:21] All true warriors of the faith.

[00:22:23] You see a couple of guys suddenly stand up like you're not traveling

[00:22:27] like super fast because it, you know, you're not on a high.

[00:22:30] You're you're on a road, but it's not like well paved or if it was, it's been shelled.

[00:22:36] But as you're driving and kind of moving over potholes,

[00:22:38] you're moving out 30 miles an hour or something like that.

[00:22:40] You see like 150, 200 yards away.

[00:22:43] A couple of people come off the road or come off the side of the road

[00:22:48] and they start waving like flagging you down, holding an AK in one hand.

[00:22:53] You see one of them is like holding, holding a hand to like a gut shot wound.

[00:22:58] And there are a couple of other stragglers and he's like frantically like waving you over.

[00:23:02] I drive past them.

[00:23:04] OK.

[00:23:07] It's not going to go well if they come in the car with us.

[00:23:10] We could wait.

[00:23:11] Hold up, let's talk about this.

[00:23:12] We put them in your we're in the Toyota Tacoma, right?

[00:23:15] We could throw them in the truck bed, right?

[00:23:17] Mary's checking the chamber on her block.

[00:23:19] But he is he is sort of like standing in the middle of the road waving.

[00:23:23] OK, OK.

[00:23:24] What do you want to do? Pause, pause, pause, pause, pause.

[00:23:26] Action is happening. What are you?

[00:23:28] Yeah, yeah, no, no.

[00:23:28] And you tell me what are they what are they wearing?

[00:23:30] Where do they look like?

[00:23:31] I mean, they look like ISIL fighters.

[00:23:34] Awesome that if they're

[00:23:35] ISIL fighters, then I say we put them in the truck bed.

[00:23:38] That might actually help us get in,

[00:23:40] especially if one of them was wounded.

[00:23:42] You're driving. What are you doing?

[00:23:43] I really thought you were going to say drive over him.

[00:23:46] I mean,

[00:23:48] OK, I need you to tell me how many.

[00:23:53] Does it specify?

[00:23:55] So let's just roll die.

[00:23:58] Three. Yeah, well, we will pick them up,

[00:24:00] throw them in the back of the truck.

[00:24:01] One of them is clearly wounded.

[00:24:03] Yeah, that's good for us.

[00:24:04] Oh, thank Allah.

[00:24:06] We were attacked by the infidels.

[00:24:08] Some yeah, we would never would have been able to walk from here.

[00:24:12] Thank you. Get it.

[00:24:13] Get it.

[00:24:13] Infidels.

[00:24:14] Just go full of time.

[00:24:15] Just like.

[00:24:17] Nasser says, get in the back, brother.

[00:24:19] Yes, no, please.

[00:24:21] He's he's he's he's quite injured.

[00:24:23] How we haven't I toss him one of my things of morphine.

[00:24:27] Huh?

[00:24:28] You should be careful about throwing around.

[00:24:33] I mean.

[00:24:35] No, I mean, oh, painkillers, whatever.

[00:24:37] It doesn't matter.

[00:24:38] I give him a painkiller

[00:24:39] and I send him in the back of the train in English.

[00:24:42] No, shit.

[00:24:45] Fucking dumb ass.

[00:24:47] It's medicine, Jesus Christ.

[00:24:50] He just opens it.

[00:24:51] This is Nasser like.

[00:24:53] Because isn't he the opiate?

[00:24:55] Is he opiate?

[00:24:56] It's he literally has his fucking name

[00:25:00] and all the English

[00:25:01] are inside of it, where his address and shit on it.

[00:25:05] Fucking Walgreens.

[00:25:09] Picture of him saluting the flag.

[00:25:12] I'm done.

[00:25:12] I'm done.

[00:25:14] I'm officially out of the rest of the session tonight.

[00:25:17] I'm over.

[00:25:18] No, I see.

[00:25:19] He throws his handle.

[00:25:20] Is he throws this bottle broken right now?

[00:25:24] Jesus Christ.

[00:25:27] Is he throws this bottle of pills?

[00:25:29] He's I don't throw him the goddamn bottle of pills.

[00:25:31] Don't narrate my own goddamn action, Cody.

[00:25:33] I give the man a pill to swallow

[00:25:35] and I tell him to get in the back as you hand them

[00:25:38] as you go to the rent like like World War Two.

[00:25:41] All it is is a little clear thing.

[00:25:43] Just and you're done.

[00:25:44] That's it.

[00:25:45] There's nothing written on it.

[00:25:46] As you're in the middle of like trying to prescribe him something,

[00:25:49] he says he can't stand up.

[00:25:51] We need to help putting him in the back of the truck.

[00:25:53] We'll help him get up.

[00:25:55] That's fine.

[00:25:56] So you've got you've got a you've got a guy

[00:25:57] who's relatively fine.

[00:25:58] This is good.

[00:25:59] I did this is you.

[00:26:00] Where are you shot?

[00:26:01] This is literally good shot.

[00:26:03] It really is the other guy has several bullet wounds.

[00:26:05] He does not look good.

[00:26:06] He he's this is good.

[00:26:07] Pretty far.

[00:26:07] This is literally good for us.

[00:26:08] Seriously, to get us in to be we're like we go.

[00:26:12] You can see Nasser like explaining why in front of them.

[00:26:15] Hey, guys, this is great for us.

[00:26:18] Hey, guys, in English.

[00:26:19] 100%

[00:26:20] way.

[00:26:21] Hold on, guys, hold on, guys.

[00:26:22] This is great for us.

[00:26:23] Captain Van just starts putting tourniquets

[00:26:25] where there's tourniquets.

[00:26:27] Yeah, yeah, thank you.

[00:26:28] He's making tourniquets out of their clothing

[00:26:30] as to not waste his own tourniquet.

[00:26:32] Yeah, like he's trying to help American tourniquets.

[00:26:35] Yeah, no.

[00:26:36] Fuck up.

[00:26:38] He pulls out his why is it where is turnig its red,

[00:26:41] white and blue?

[00:26:43] He pulls out a straight up.

[00:26:44] Only Americans turnig its on the right.

[00:26:47] And they're just lumberjack flannels.

[00:26:49] He's got a lumberjack family pulls out.

[00:26:51] And this is this is how he makes his tourniquets.

[00:26:53] And he just ties the it's a me on these print

[00:26:55] that's baseballs and apple pie.

[00:26:58] And Reagan.

[00:27:01] Fucking Jesus Christ.

[00:27:04] Reagan writing an eagle.

[00:27:06] I'm not even enjoying this.

[00:27:12] Oh, yeah.

[00:27:13] That was too good.

[00:27:19] No, I hope they have dementia, too.

[00:27:22] OK, so now you've got you got a couple of stragglers

[00:27:26] looking for a ride to Mosul, particularly to the hospital.

[00:27:29] Captain Dan takes some of the blood and rubs it on him.

[00:27:32] That's really smart.

[00:27:33] Party luck roll.

[00:27:35] Well, I don't know if that's so.

[00:27:37] I guess I keep forgetting luck.

[00:27:39] You would not do you would not do lowest luck.

[00:27:41] Who wants to roll luck for the for the we have luck?

[00:27:44] If it's a group role, the person with the highest rolls.

[00:27:48] So but lucky we do we don't have luck in this.

[00:27:51] That's just a 5050.

[00:27:52] Hold on.

[00:27:53] Let me make sure I'm not said.

[00:27:54] Look, I mean, I failed every other one.

[00:27:55] I couldn't possibly fail this one.

[00:27:57] Right.

[00:27:58] Oh, should we do a first aid roll?

[00:28:00] Should we?

[00:28:03] Do you want to take a chance at filming that?

[00:28:05] I mean, we it's a win-win.

[00:28:08] I would rather him.

[00:28:09] You left a medic and bag.

[00:28:11] We'll have we'll have a plus 20 with the first aid because of what we got.

[00:28:15] If if we want to use our supplies,

[00:28:17] but maybe like you said, we don't want to save our own so we don't make a roll

[00:28:20] and then we just let him die.

[00:28:22] I didn't say I tied good turn it gets.

[00:28:24] Yeah, yeah.

[00:28:25] And we don't even have to claim that we have medical skills.

[00:28:28] We just give them a ride.

[00:28:29] Do we actually need to make it?

[00:28:30] Yes, somebody in the you need to call higher love before you roll.

[00:28:34] Okay.

[00:28:35] Do it, buddy.

[00:28:36] You can't lose.

[00:28:37] It's a group.

[00:28:38] Somebody else call it.

[00:28:39] Yeah.

[00:28:40] Somebody else call it.

[00:28:41] No.

[00:28:43] Nope.

[00:28:44] Okay.

[00:28:45] Oh, 51.

[00:28:46] Oh, balls.

[00:28:50] Is as Nassar is driving along.

[00:28:52] Cuckoo cuckoo cuckoo cuckoo.

[00:28:54] You feel it on the left hand side.

[00:28:57] Tire goes flat.

[00:28:58] Okay.

[00:28:59] That is not a big deal.

[00:29:00] No, I've driven a Toyota Tacoma.

[00:29:02] I get out.

[00:29:03] I lower the the the tire from it's literally underneath the bed.

[00:29:08] Yep.

[00:29:09] And I'm going to fix it.

[00:29:10] Yeah, no, go ahead.

[00:29:11] Just hold on more again.

[00:29:13] Hold on.

[00:29:15] There's an actual roll for that.

[00:29:17] For what?

[00:29:18] Changing a fucking tire.

[00:29:19] You could use there's I mean, I don't know what you want to use.

[00:29:24] That can't require a roll.

[00:29:26] I think it requires a roll.

[00:29:27] It means that more things can potentially happen to you.

[00:29:29] That's what I'm willing for because you're sitting on the side of the road.

[00:29:31] Yeah.

[00:29:32] And I'm trying to make a roll to make as fast as they're not a mechanical.

[00:29:34] No, if you're thinking of mechanics, I think that's a call.

[00:29:36] I think it's under drive.

[00:29:38] You definitely can change a tire.

[00:29:39] I'll let Jeff check the drive, but I would presume.

[00:29:42] No, I mean, it's handling a car.

[00:29:44] That's it.

[00:29:45] It's like you guys can do it.

[00:29:46] It's not hard to do it.

[00:29:47] There's no issue in getting it done.

[00:29:49] As you as you get the car up and moving craft mechanic guy is you begin moving

[00:29:56] down the road.

[00:29:59] You can see.

[00:30:02] You're right there, Spencer.

[00:30:04] The whole chair looked like it flipped over as like Jeff kept you from rolling completely over.

[00:30:11] She's some you see a vehicle kicking up sand on the horizon.

[00:30:15] It's running sort of perpendicular.

[00:30:18] It is also waving a, you know, an isoflag and it looks to be like approaching towards you.

[00:30:25] You could avoid it if you want to.

[00:30:27] Otherwise, it looks like it's going to like cut you off.

[00:30:30] Keep going.

[00:30:31] It's fine.

[00:30:32] We're good.

[00:30:33] We have no reason to avoid it.

[00:30:34] I want to kill that beacon.

[00:30:36] Yeah, I know.

[00:30:37] I'm fine with that.

[00:30:38] Where is the beacon?

[00:30:39] I don't know.

[00:30:40] Just trying to get in the goddamn military Cody.

[00:30:43] I don't know how this goddamn beacon works.

[00:30:45] I'm throwing the sound me, but it's about it's about a size of a Coke can.

[00:30:49] Little bit little bit bigger.

[00:30:51] In the arm rest wherever you want to.

[00:30:52] Sure.

[00:30:53] Yeah.

[00:30:54] I'm going to throw it off.

[00:30:55] Okay.

[00:30:56] The other car cuts you off and you see one of the.

[00:31:01] And half our team is dead.

[00:31:03] Thanks, Jeff.

[00:31:04] You had us turning off.

[00:31:05] God damn it.

[00:31:06] You see the one guy is kind of holding up his a K.

[00:31:09] And he's kind of they're kind of getting in front of you.

[00:31:12] Yeah.

[00:31:13] He's blasting it up in the air and like trying to get new just trying to get you

[00:31:15] to stop.

[00:31:16] He's holding his hands up telling you to stop.

[00:31:18] He jumps out and he says papers, papers.

[00:31:22] We and then I say in Arabic we have injured.

[00:31:26] We need to get to Mosul.

[00:31:28] Okay.

[00:31:29] Roll persuade plus 20% left my block.

[00:31:32] And sitting on the back with this fucking ready spray the other guy.

[00:31:37] Okay.

[00:31:38] You as you start to say that you do they come running over and your buddy in

[00:31:43] the back begins saying yes, yes, no, they're very injured.

[00:31:45] And they're like, oh, oh, yes.

[00:31:46] And there's they see the but go, go, go, go, go.

[00:31:48] And they bang on the hood and tell you to, you know, keep driving.

[00:31:50] Good.

[00:31:51] Go, go, go.

[00:31:52] Okay.

[00:31:53] He's go, go, go.

[00:31:55] Even though he's the driver.

[00:31:56] Go, go, go, go.

[00:31:57] He's telling himself.

[00:31:58] I think I can.

[00:32:01] I think I can.

[00:32:03] I think I can.

[00:32:05] Okay.

[00:32:06] You're doing a fine job.

[00:32:12] We are in fact progressing towards Mosul.

[00:32:15] That was a little bit.

[00:32:18] You even made a roll.

[00:32:20] Let's just preface as we move forward that you're acting in Arabic.

[00:32:24] Yes, please.

[00:32:27] Captain Dan's what?

[00:32:28] Well, I don't speak air.

[00:32:29] What would you say there?

[00:32:32] Captain Dan speaks German 40% for some reason.

[00:32:35] It's because it.

[00:32:37] Nope.

[00:32:38] So you guys continue onward yet you see a most.

[00:32:41] A Mosul.

[00:32:43] Obviously traffic is getting heavier.

[00:32:46] It's not like heavy obviously, but there are more militants.

[00:32:50] There are more civilians.

[00:32:52] There are you're traveling through more and more occupied areas.

[00:32:56] We're merging on to 895 around New York City.

[00:32:58] Yep.

[00:32:59] Got it.

[00:33:00] I assume since it's already been your shtick, you will continue yelling at people.

[00:33:03] Hey, we're going to be on the air.

[00:33:05] We're going to be on the air.

[00:33:08] I assume since it's already been your shtick, you will continue yelling at people.

[00:33:11] Hey, we've got injured.

[00:33:12] We got to get to the hospital.

[00:33:14] Blah, blah, blah, which breezes you right through several checkpoints.

[00:33:18] They do direct you to a hospital, which is not necessarily in the direction you want to go for your safe house though.

[00:33:24] That's fine.

[00:33:25] We will.

[00:33:26] We can get there.

[00:33:27] You drop your new friends off at the hospital.

[00:33:30] Awesome.

[00:33:31] Which one or is there only?

[00:33:33] There's many.

[00:33:34] I presume there are many.

[00:33:36] My map indicates one.

[00:33:38] Why it indicates one?

[00:33:39] I don't know.

[00:33:40] Probably that's the narratively important hospital, but I would presume from which direction are we coming into Mosul?

[00:33:45] South.

[00:33:46] You would have to be coming from the south.

[00:33:48] Yeah.

[00:33:49] Southeast originally probably straight south.

[00:33:50] Yeah.

[00:33:51] The actual road.

[00:33:52] I don't know which way the roads go.

[00:33:53] I know that there's a pretty major juncture.

[00:33:55] Direction from the south, if I remember the larger map comes more from slightly the southwest like the road curves, I believe.

[00:34:01] It does.

[00:34:02] Because the river runs southeast.

[00:34:04] Yeah, I think we have to jump the river to actually take the road in from straight south.

[00:34:10] The map in my head could be wrong.

[00:34:12] Are you presumably you are keeping your truck?

[00:34:15] Yes.

[00:34:16] Making sure you're not abandoning your truck or anything?

[00:34:18] No.

[00:34:19] It isn't hard to get to...

[00:34:21] Now that you're in the city and you're seeing the conditions that it's in, it's obviously been shelled.

[00:34:25] There have been explosions, ISIL has done damage, the coalition forces have done damage.

[00:34:30] Like you're moving at two miles an hour in the car.

[00:34:34] Like there's just shit everywhere.

[00:34:36] So you got to go down and then you're like, oh shit, I got to go this way and you got to go down this.

[00:34:39] Oh fuck, there's traffic here.

[00:34:41] So like you're going to have to meander for like an exorbitantly amount of long amount of time for what is only a couple miles drive.

[00:34:49] I think I'm fine with that.

[00:34:51] Just have access to the truck.

[00:34:53] I am curious to see what our safe house looks like and if there's a place to safely stash our truck.

[00:34:59] But I think it's worth hanging onto it.

[00:35:01] Yeah, just put it in the garage.

[00:35:03] I mean you could park it on any sidewalk and probably just blend in with everything.

[00:35:07] Yeah, I agree.

[00:35:08] I think it's worth the risk of hanging onto it.

[00:35:10] You know if you know this, the truck's painted red, white and blue.

[00:35:14] It's got like goddamn eagle on it.

[00:35:17] No truck nuts.

[00:35:19] Playing Lee Greenwood as loud as it can.

[00:35:23] And on the hood there's this snake that says don't tread on me.

[00:35:27] They'd be okay with that.

[00:35:29] I think they'd be okay with that now.

[00:35:31] Military science rolls.

[00:35:34] If you have the ability.

[00:35:36] I have land.

[00:35:37] Nope.

[00:35:38] Nope, 73 over 60.

[00:35:40] Check it off brother.

[00:35:41] Checked it earlier.

[00:35:42] Wow.

[00:35:43] She doesn't have it.

[00:35:45] Yay not landing a roll.

[00:35:49] That is a 13 under 30.

[00:35:52] Nice bro.

[00:35:53] Is that a critical?

[00:35:54] No.

[00:35:55] You have to get same ones place in the 10s place.

[00:35:59] 11.

[00:36:00] So who is that?

[00:36:01] It's Mary.

[00:36:02] Mary.

[00:36:03] Oh God complex yourself.

[00:36:05] Mary hears, probably because she may have been very familiar with the sound.

[00:36:10] She hears a very high pitched whistling that she immediately identifies as an incoming artillery garage.

[00:36:17] Everybody out of the car on the ground.

[00:36:19] I do it.

[00:36:20] I'm out the time that she says that fucking explosions all over like for a two block radius boom boom boom boom boom.

[00:36:28] Fucking buildings are hit.

[00:36:29] People are screaming yelling.

[00:36:31] It's fucking chaos.

[00:36:34] If you're not adapted to helplessness, let's roll some sand.

[00:36:37] What about violence?

[00:36:39] No, this is from the sheer like holy shit we're in a shit storm.

[00:36:44] Jennifer's adapted.

[00:36:46] Yeah, no big deal.

[00:36:47] Who cares?

[00:36:48] It's quipper.

[00:36:49] 100.

[00:36:50] Okay.

[00:36:51] Wow, wow friend.

[00:36:53] Have you have you have you have you switched out the dice or every single every single time.

[00:37:00] Okay cool.

[00:37:01] Just checking bud.

[00:37:02] Awesome.

[00:37:03] Yeah, I'm 73 over 55 hundred over 53.

[00:37:07] Did you do pass over there?

[00:37:10] 59 and where am I looking?

[00:37:13] Sanity top right.

[00:37:15] 51.

[00:37:16] Oh yeah.

[00:37:18] Jeff you're about to be in control the party I think.

[00:37:22] Are you pasting?

[00:37:24] I don't know how Captain Dan's not used to being shelled.

[00:37:29] He's usually the one doing the shelling.

[00:37:32] Whatever.

[00:37:33] It's a little bit different when you're on the non-explody side of the weapon.

[00:37:38] He loses his mind and actually switches to ISIL.

[00:37:41] Yeah, that's that's the most fun.

[00:37:44] We'll call it D4 plus one so shorter takes five.

[00:37:49] Yeah, you got five to which sends you to a breaking point or it does.

[00:37:55] Fight fly to freeze.

[00:37:56] So I'm at 48 I didn't pass my breaking point.

[00:37:59] No, no, no, but it's you lose five and one go so it's temporary insanity.

[00:38:02] Okay.

[00:38:03] Yeah me too.

[00:38:04] Yep.

[00:38:05] So I have to choose.

[00:38:07] Fuck.

[00:38:08] I choose freeze.

[00:38:10] Am I still in the vehicle?

[00:38:11] Yeah, I don't think we get a chance to get there.

[00:38:13] No, it's pretty quick.

[00:38:15] Once you hear them they're basically there I think.

[00:38:17] I don't think there's a whole lot of warning.

[00:38:19] There was a long if there was a whole lot of warning it defeats the purpose of explosion.

[00:38:23] At the very least I have anecdotal evidence.

[00:38:26] Now this was anecdotal evidence from the Pacific in during World War II.

[00:38:30] But my grandfather heard mortar shells the same whistling.

[00:38:34] He was distributing trash on the beach on an island in the Pacific because he was a cook

[00:38:40] and he was able to jump in a foxhole because he heard the sound and blew trash all over the fucking beach.

[00:38:46] So there's some time to move.

[00:38:48] There is not not much and you didn't get much preparation but you are in a truck which is useful.

[00:38:54] I'm going to freeze mid dive towards whatever thing I can get underneath.

[00:38:58] No, that's fine.

[00:38:59] I'll just freeze like so not gonna run off on my own in these two start losing their shit in the truck as all holy hell.

[00:39:06] I mean again it's more of a scare tactic than anything but like chunks are flying out of buildings and people are screaming.

[00:39:13] And all of a sudden you've got you've got ISIL police everywhere around you and these two are just like gibbering messes at this point.

[00:39:22] So what would you two like to do?

[00:39:23] Because it pretty much boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom you know and then you and I are gibbering messes.

[00:39:28] No, that's fine.

[00:39:29] Oh, you know just the two of militants.

[00:39:31] Jennifer has adapted.

[00:39:35] She found her happy place.

[00:39:36] I guess I'll go ahead and take helplessness.

[00:39:38] Yeah, you should do that.

[00:39:39] So everybody's still in the truck?

[00:39:41] Yes, everybody is still in the truck.

[00:39:43] The person driving is turned to slobbering dribble.

[00:39:46] White knuckling it.

[00:39:47] So if my current is 48 and my breaking point is 48 does that mean that I hit my how does that work?

[00:39:51] You haven't passed it.

[00:39:52] Okay.

[00:39:53] You don't recalculate until you pass it.

[00:39:56] Okay cool.

[00:39:57] So but there are plenty of screams.

[00:39:59] Let's give it five minutes.

[00:40:02] Jennifer is going to try and get get Landry out of the way and get the truck moving.

[00:40:06] Just shove him out the road.

[00:40:15] There are no that's in that's in the other game.

[00:40:18] So what you get for picking up wounded you asshole?

[00:40:21] Shove him out.

[00:40:22] What is your maybe I guess go with con score?

[00:40:25] I wonder how big.

[00:40:26] Spenders.

[00:40:27] Oh, how big is Landry?

[00:40:29] 12.

[00:40:31] 12.

[00:40:32] Okay.

[00:40:33] And what's your strength score, Jeff?

[00:40:35] Nine.

[00:40:36] So Mary you see Jennifer because you're Jennifer and you're Mary right?

[00:40:42] You see Jennifer you see Mary you see Jennifer jump out of the car, yank the door open

[00:40:48] and trying to drag this guy who's quite a bit bigger than her out of the seat.

[00:40:52] Who's riding shotgun?

[00:40:54] I would assume Captain Dan got in the bed of the truck with a wound originally.

[00:40:58] You know, I'm not a good person riding shotgun and have a good one.

[00:41:01] Leave me in the shotgun please.

[00:41:03] Okay.

[00:41:04] So gibbering mess beside you she's jumping out and trying to yank him out of the way.

[00:41:08] You're starting to hear cries of people running over.

[00:41:10] Yes.

[00:41:11] Cody how long how long does this temporary insanity last?

[00:41:15] Usually until the danger has passed.

[00:41:17] He would normally say thematically appropriate.

[00:41:20] Correct.

[00:41:21] All right.

[00:41:23] So like once you're around the block and out of safety you're probably fine.

[00:41:27] I'm going to check myself for any bleeding.

[00:41:29] Like I said, mostly it was very high up.

[00:41:32] It was not some struck the ground but nowhere near you again.

[00:41:35] It's sort of sporadic fire.

[00:41:38] You can help me pull him out of the water and get the hell out of here.

[00:41:41] Shoving.

[00:41:42] I'll brace myself against the dorm.

[00:41:44] Use my feet.

[00:41:46] So you get a little bit of a shock.

[00:41:48] I'm going to go ahead and get a little bit of a shock.

[00:41:51] I'm going to go ahead and get a little bit of a shock.

[00:41:54] So you get thumped out onto the ground.

[00:41:58] You're now going to try and haul him into the back.

[00:42:02] No, take off.

[00:42:03] Throw him in the bed.

[00:42:07] All right.

[00:42:08] You two struggle to throw him into the bed.

[00:42:10] Where he's back there gibbering mess.

[00:42:14] Luck roll.

[00:42:15] One of the two that are.

[00:42:17] Yeah, the guy who's been rolling like shit.

[00:42:20] I mean, you can't fail again.

[00:42:22] I'm going to call it.

[00:42:24] You know me to call it.

[00:42:26] 93.

[00:42:27] He's on fire.

[00:42:29] I shut the truck bed.

[00:42:31] I just pulled a shell and there's a shell on it.

[00:42:36] You see, I'm out guys.

[00:42:41] You see some, I don't know one of the omnial,

[00:42:45] or whatever, you know, officials come, come running over.

[00:42:48] Are you okay?

[00:42:49] Is everyone okay?

[00:42:50] Are you and begins like trying to get in your truck and making sure that everyone is okay?

[00:42:55] And hey, what's going on?

[00:42:56] And oh, are you fighters here?

[00:42:58] Come help the wounded.

[00:42:59] It's two of you, the two women.

[00:43:01] Right.

[00:43:02] Wait, who's driving this truck?

[00:43:03] My brother was.

[00:43:04] Hachu.

[00:43:05] Yes, is what has happened to him?

[00:43:12] Why have you put him in the trunk?

[00:43:13] Why are you?

[00:43:14] He begins asking unpleasant questions.

[00:43:16] We were trying to check him for injuries.

[00:43:19] Oh yes, do you need me to drive him to the hospital?

[00:43:21] What are we doing here?

[00:43:22] We will get more men.

[00:43:23] Hold on.

[00:43:24] And he begins yelling.

[00:43:25] Let's go.

[00:43:27] Blah blah blah blah blah.

[00:43:32] You're behind the wheel still correct?

[00:43:33] Well, she's trying to get behind the wheel.

[00:43:35] Yeah, women aren't supposed to drive.

[00:43:37] Right.

[00:43:38] Roll the skies and hit the gas motherfucker.

[00:43:44] Okay, so how many guys are around here?

[00:43:47] Just one right now.

[00:43:48] Just one?

[00:43:49] But he's yelling.

[00:43:52] It's strange how this really small artillery shoulder.

[00:43:55] I'm so right underneath.

[00:43:57] Do I have a knife?

[00:43:59] Hand grenade, it's gonna be too little.

[00:44:02] No, just pull the pin and hand it to him.

[00:44:05] Kick him away.

[00:44:07] And then sneeze while you do it.

[00:44:09] Because that seems to be my bit for the moment.

[00:44:12] How far away from the hospital did we get?

[00:44:16] I don't know.

[00:44:17] Half a dozen blocks, a dozen blocks?

[00:44:19] Yeah, I'm still sitting in the car, right?

[00:44:23] You're in the passenger seat.

[00:44:25] I'm gonna start screaming in Arabic.

[00:44:27] Oh my baby, my baby.

[00:44:30] I love it.

[00:44:31] I fucking love it dude.

[00:44:32] Okay.

[00:44:33] Do it.

[00:44:34] What kind of disguise?

[00:44:36] Really you're just...

[00:44:38] That's a fast talk but fast talks.

[00:44:41] Yeah, I mean it's a fast talk but fast talk isn't in this game.

[00:44:43] So I like fast talk.

[00:44:44] Persuade.

[00:44:45] Yeah.

[00:44:46] Persuade or charisma?

[00:44:48] Yeah, I mean even at a persuade you're probably going to...

[00:44:51] I mean you're going to draw his attention.

[00:44:53] He came over here to see what's going on.

[00:44:55] So what is your...

[00:44:56] I guess ultimately what is your intention by screaming this?

[00:44:58] To get his attention?

[00:44:59] To actually let us leave.

[00:45:01] So I'm gonna try to convince him that I'm in labor

[00:45:03] or we need to get me to the hospital.

[00:45:05] Okay, I will persuade seems him.

[00:45:07] Yeah.

[00:45:10] That's a 35 under 40.

[00:45:12] Okay.

[00:45:13] Question is who got Daniel pregnant?

[00:45:15] Hmm?

[00:45:16] Yeah?

[00:45:17] So yeah, I'm gonna start screaming.

[00:45:19] I have to get to the hospital.

[00:45:21] My husband and I were on our way to the hospital.

[00:45:23] My baby, my baby.

[00:45:24] So your brother and her husband...

[00:45:27] Yeah, my sister-in-law.

[00:45:29] Oh of course, of course.

[00:45:31] And he waves over two guys and tells them

[00:45:35] you drive, you hop in the back help them.

[00:45:37] They will need help.

[00:45:38] I do really need to know the relationships so I don't fuck this up.

[00:45:41] Oh no, we're making it up.

[00:45:43] They're making it up as they go along.

[00:45:45] Fuck it.

[00:45:46] We'll do it live.

[00:45:47] Okay, so I know but who is married to Mary?

[00:45:51] Is it Nasser?

[00:45:52] Say it now, baby.

[00:45:55] Jennifer will hop in the back with the guys.

[00:46:00] Try and take care of them

[00:46:02] and make sure that she's there when they wake up.

[00:46:07] As they...

[00:46:08] Dan just...

[00:46:09] It's just a grenade in his hand.

[00:46:11] Pull pin?

[00:46:15] He does look at you strangely

[00:46:17] that you would be so brazen to get in the back of the truck

[00:46:20] but he doesn't say it,

[00:46:21] the ISIL fighter doesn't say anything.

[00:46:23] She's tending wounded.

[00:46:24] Yeah, no, it's an awkward situation.

[00:46:26] Some decorum can be avoided.

[00:46:28] You guys do start coming to...

[00:46:31] Finally.

[00:46:32] In the back of the truck.

[00:46:34] Still kind of shagging.

[00:46:35] The only people in the cab of the truck are Mary and not us?

[00:46:39] Yes.

[00:46:40] If I'm allowed to come too, boss,

[00:46:42] I'm getting back in the driver's seat.

[00:46:44] No, you're coming too as we're moving

[00:46:47] in a cab full of not us besides Mary.

[00:46:50] Are they turning around to go back to the hospital?

[00:46:53] Yeah, she's got a problem with her baby.

[00:46:55] That's fine, we'll play it up.

[00:46:59] Going to the hospital again.

[00:47:01] Can't wait.

[00:47:02] Are we back too?

[00:47:03] So how's this Pisces thing work?

[00:47:09] Have you ever combat rolled out of a truck before?

[00:47:14] I'm assuming you're not obviously pregnant.

[00:47:16] Well, no, I figured we could hide it while I was sitting.

[00:47:19] Right, I just wonder what's going to happen.

[00:47:21] That's where we hid all the surveillance equipment.

[00:47:25] Oh, has your baby polygonal.

[00:47:29] What the fuck?

[00:47:30] What's this beeping in the console?

[00:47:33] They turned it off, shut up.

[00:47:35] No, they will drive you...

[00:47:38] At this point you get the sense they're going to drive you back to the hospital and escort you.

[00:47:41] How far have we moved?

[00:47:42] Not far, but like I said, you're going back another six or seven blocks.

[00:47:46] So you have time before you get there if you'd like to do anything.

[00:47:49] Do I want to burn this whole thing down?

[00:47:51] No.

[00:47:53] Am I good?

[00:47:54] Yeah, you guys have come too.

[00:47:56] You're just kind of come too and there's a couple of guys you don't know

[00:47:58] and the truck is not heading in the direction you were at.

[00:48:00] I'll hit the top of the truck and you'll stop in Arabic.

[00:48:06] She has issues with her baby.

[00:48:09] The hospital we were at was not Al-Khansa, right?

[00:48:11] No.

[00:48:13] I'll say something along the lines if I was shook by the shelling

[00:48:18] I can take it from here brother, you can go along your business.

[00:48:21] This is my family.

[00:48:22] This is my family.

[00:48:23] This is my domain.

[00:48:24] I will take it from here.

[00:48:25] Persuade?

[00:48:26] I'm sorry to say I was going to add to that.

[00:48:28] I feel better now, I'm okay.

[00:48:30] 24 under, yeah I'm good, 55.

[00:48:33] Okay, yeah, no I think that's fair.

[00:48:37] My baby thing definitely would have thrown them off for sure.

[00:48:40] And I want to take the patriarchal line on this.

[00:48:43] Yeah, no, I think that is fair.

[00:48:46] Are you sure?

[00:48:47] Are you fine?

[00:48:48] I'll clap his shoulder and say thank you brother.

[00:48:51] Of course.

[00:48:52] Yes, we will get back down the block to the wounded.

[00:48:54] Yep, and then I will, I basically, what I want to do with the cars

[00:48:58] I basically want to head a block towards the hospital

[00:49:01] and then keep an eye on the rear of the roomier

[00:49:03] and eventually just take a left or right to circle around.

[00:49:06] Sounds good.

[00:49:07] If they question us, your mother's at Al-Khansa.

[00:49:10] She's a nurse maid.

[00:49:11] Yep, I love it.

[00:49:12] You hear that Cody?

[00:49:13] Yeah.

[00:49:14] We'll make sure Cody heard that great idea.

[00:49:15] We're going to a different hospital.

[00:49:16] Dang.

[00:49:17] With family.

[00:49:18] Don't you chuckle over there you swarmy son of a man.

[00:49:23] Try to hurt her.

[00:49:24] As you come around the corner, you navigate, continue to find the safe house

[00:49:28] and you see that there is a, there is clearly a checkpoint ahead of you.

[00:49:33] Where?

[00:49:34] You've maneuvered around and are another part of Mosul now

[00:49:37] but now you can see that there's clearly a checkpoint.

[00:49:39] There is a long line of cars and you could see

[00:49:42] a number of brash ISIL fighters kicking tires and yelling at people

[00:49:47] and sort of being fucking obnoxious.

[00:49:49] We're going to have to deal with this at some point.

[00:49:51] So let's deal with it.

[00:49:52] Who would we, based on our intelligence of the ISIL organizations

[00:49:57] who would be running checkpoints?

[00:49:58] Which group?

[00:49:59] Do what?

[00:50:00] Sorry.

[00:50:01] Based on our intelligence of the ISIL.

[00:50:02] That was a question you guys I was reading.

[00:50:03] Now based on the, our intelligence on the ISIL organizations

[00:50:05] who would be the group running checkpoints?

[00:50:09] Low level mooks predominantly bullies.

[00:50:13] So as we're going through a checkpoint, we want to show a higher level ISIL.

[00:50:17] You see what I'm saying?

[00:50:18] Yeah, or Brad, especially if they're lower, lower level mooks

[00:50:21] more likely to be impressed by that bullshit.

[00:50:23] Yep.

[00:50:24] Maybe.

[00:50:25] Maybe.

[00:50:26] You do get the sense watching that these guys definitely are more in the business

[00:50:30] of shaking down than they are of actually doing anything pertinent.

[00:50:34] Because you see a couple of people who seem to hand some cash

[00:50:37] and go through very, very quickly or a valuable piece of something, a cell phone.

[00:50:42] Others are berated and kicked and, you know, women are having some of the,

[00:50:47] you know, some of their clothing pulled away and just general bullshit

[00:50:51] that one would expect at a checkpoint.

[00:50:53] Right?

[00:50:54] So who you're in the seat.

[00:50:56] So presumably you pull up and they speak to you.

[00:50:58] Who are you?

[00:50:59] Where are you going?

[00:51:00] Let me see your papers.

[00:51:01] So wow, we moved up in the line pretty goddamn quickly.

[00:51:04] Cody.

[00:51:05] All right.

[00:51:06] Well, if you'd like to talk about it, yeah, we'd like to talk about it,

[00:51:08] Cody.

[00:51:09] Oh, just give me the, give me a, give me a quick name of a higher,

[00:51:13] higher level group.

[00:51:15] And then I'll clap, clap, clap.

[00:51:17] Ta-ta, ta-ta, ta-ta.

[00:51:19] And then I'll also have, let's think about money too.

[00:51:23] If we were to bribe them, what would be the, a good amount and what kind of currency?

[00:51:28] I assume American dollars might raise some eyebrows or would it?

[00:51:32] I mean, honestly in this, in this region, it probably wouldn't, right?

[00:51:35] Or you can hand them one of the burner phones or two of the burner phones.

[00:51:38] Fuck it.

[00:51:39] Yeah.

[00:51:40] Okay.

[00:51:41] I just want to have backup plans.

[00:51:42] Does anyone have the name of a higher level ISIS organization

[00:51:44] that we can name drop or have papers for?

[00:51:47] Why don't we use, why don't we use Jen's Humet and what's the,

[00:51:52] what's the organization with the women?

[00:51:54] I'll Convict the Gates.

[00:51:55] Let's burn one of our covers.

[00:51:57] Okay.

[00:51:58] Whatever you want to do.

[00:51:59] That's how you can be escorting her.

[00:52:00] Yeah, I like it.

[00:52:01] Um, yep.

[00:52:02] So, um,

[00:52:03] You pull up and they,

[00:52:05] once you roll down the window.

[00:52:07] I do so.

[00:52:08] 90 degrees.

[00:52:09] The windows are down.

[00:52:10] Yeah.

[00:52:11] Fair enough.

[00:52:12] I've been conditioning for 10 years.

[00:52:13] Um, fair enough.

[00:52:14] What are you conditioning?

[00:52:15] All the bull holes and great ventilation.

[00:52:17] Letting a ventilation.

[00:52:19] I wonder if you, when you're driving down the road,

[00:52:22] if you're whistling,

[00:52:23] You have to be right.

[00:52:24] Like a Nerf football.

[00:52:25] Right.

[00:52:26] Yeah.

[00:52:27] It would almost be like chimes because all the different angles

[00:52:33] in which everything is the wind.

[00:52:34] Oh yeah.

[00:52:35] We have to be annoying as fuck.

[00:52:36] Yeah.

[00:52:37] No, it's beautiful really.

[00:52:38] Um, so.

[00:52:39] Like the Gale of a tornado.

[00:52:41] Um, yeah.

[00:52:42] I'll say something along the lines of we're escorting the Alcanza,

[00:52:46] an important Alcanza brigade member and then I'll, um,

[00:52:49] Roll your Arabic at plus 20%.

[00:52:53] Uh, fail.

[00:52:55] Uh, 70, 72 over 70.

[00:52:58] Um, okay.

[00:53:00] Uh, you get the sense as he's interacting with you that he's like,

[00:53:03] Oh, no, no, no, that can't be right.

[00:53:06] Show me your paperwork.

[00:53:07] What's going on?

[00:53:08] We need it.

[00:53:09] You know, these guys are like,

[00:53:10] Where's the officer?

[00:53:11] This can't be right.

[00:53:12] They're claiming blah, blah, blah, whatever you said they don't,

[00:53:14] they don't particularly believe it.

[00:53:16] Um, I mean, we have paperwork, right?

[00:53:18] You do.

[00:53:19] Yeah.

[00:53:20] She will work.

[00:53:21] She will pull out Alcanza paperwork.

[00:53:23] Okay.

[00:53:24] They, I mean, as you pull that out, they, hmm, and they're going to,

[00:53:26] they're going to wave somebody over to look at it some more.

[00:53:28] Can we pass them some money?

[00:53:29] I don't know what do you want to do?

[00:53:31] You tell me, yeah, I'm a fucking pass them on 20 bucks.

[00:53:34] Well, okay.

[00:53:35] I mean, with my, yeah, no, we're fine.

[00:53:36] Just passing 20 bucks.

[00:53:37] Who gives a fuck?

[00:53:38] They're just, they're just fucking low level mooks.

[00:53:41] They're low level mooks.

[00:53:42] $20 is a lot of goddamn money.

[00:53:44] Just pass them 20 bucks in a goddamn burner cell phone and move the fuck on.

[00:53:48] I didn't know if you were claiming, uh, if you were claiming official business

[00:53:51] or if you're trying to bribe or now we're trying to pass ourselves off.

[00:53:55] Here is the reality of the situation.

[00:53:58] These motherfuckers see thousands of people in a goddamn day.

[00:54:02] They're just low level mooks where this is not have to be a big deal.

[00:54:06] It really does not have to be a big deal.

[00:54:08] Jennifer will hand her paperwork up to Nasser and let him pass the money along with the paperwork.

[00:54:17] Thank you, Jeff.

[00:54:18] It's not that hard.

[00:54:19] They're smart people.

[00:54:20] Take the money.

[00:54:21] Um, they're not smart people.

[00:54:23] No, they're not.

[00:54:25] He takes the, you see him take the money and he puts it, you know, sort of in a pocket,

[00:54:31] you know, maybe near his chest or stuff's back in and he hands the paperwork back.

[00:54:35] All right.

[00:54:36] He waves you along through the checkpoint.

[00:54:37] Mark off 20 bucks.

[00:54:39] Well, I'm now at you mark off 20.

[00:54:41] Yeah, fine.

[00:54:42] You're the one.

[00:54:43] What did we say?

[00:54:44] We took a crisp sequential hundred dollar bills.

[00:54:48] Just so you know, fresh out of a $1,980.

[00:54:52] No, we took 10 grand split by four people.

[00:54:55] Yeah.

[00:54:56] $2,500.

[00:54:57] Oh, here I am.

[00:54:58] 10 grand.

[00:54:59] Okay.

[00:55:00] Um, Captain Dan is paying attention to the people as we leave to see if anybody's obviously marking

[00:55:07] or following us.

[00:55:08] Thank you.

[00:55:09] Um, actually, yeah, Jennifer would roll human.

[00:55:13] Yeah, humans a fair roll.

[00:55:14] I think you could probably also roll alertness.

[00:55:18] 12 under 70.

[00:55:20] I don't know why I'm asking for rolls because I haven't passed a fucking roll today.

[00:55:25] Hey, odd seven.

[00:55:26] Nope.

[00:55:27] If I bitch enough, maybe it'll perfect.

[00:55:28] Be right.

[00:55:29] I passed an alertness rule.

[00:55:31] Okay.

[00:55:32] No, you don't know anyone following you.

[00:55:34] And I have the alertness of a freaking caterpillar.

[00:55:37] What is your alertness?

[00:55:39] 20.

[00:55:40] Yeah.

[00:55:41] Wow.

[00:55:42] I'm just curious in this game.

[00:55:45] All you can see is the elder sign.

[00:55:46] Is it just me or does he keep saying delt rich sign instead of delt or sign?

[00:55:53] In this game, um, is there a concept of like what a civvy would have like what

[00:55:56] a normal person is or like what a base is for stats in general.

[00:56:01] Usually these human average when it comes to roll like what is average for a human

[00:56:08] in this game?

[00:56:09] I guess it depends on the skill.

[00:56:10] As far as what like military intelligence is obviously going to be very specialized,

[00:56:13] but what is like, oh, like a human like for alertness, what is the base

[00:56:17] percent?

[00:56:18] The base percentages are kind of what's illustrated on the character sheet,

[00:56:21] I believe.

[00:56:22] Okay.

[00:56:23] Not on these.

[00:56:24] I think your average person untrained starts at zero on these.

[00:56:27] Oh, okay.

[00:56:28] Yeah, no, like, like 30 to 40 percent means like you actually like you guys at 50 percent

[00:56:34] are considered fluent in the language.

[00:56:36] Like a like fluent like a native.

[00:56:38] So these aren't generic MOOC sheets that have like your standard.

[00:56:41] Oh, well, I'm looking at one that has all the base.

[00:56:44] Right.

[00:56:45] You're looking at that, but this is not so like for me, I've got an

[00:56:48] alertness of 50, but it doesn't say what the base alertness would be.

[00:56:51] One to 19 percent is a dabbler.

[00:56:53] 20 to 29 percent is a dedicated hobbyist.

[00:56:56] 30 to 39 is a college minor basic training.

[00:57:00] 40 to 59 is a college major.

[00:57:02] 60 to 79 is decades of experience and 80 to 99 is a lifetime pursuit.

[00:57:07] Very interesting.

[00:57:08] Okay.

[00:57:09] Because really the idea is that you should only be rolling at critical junctures.

[00:57:12] So for example, if Daniel had like just showing my thought process,

[00:57:16] if Daniel had been asking about a knife so I didn't know if he was going

[00:57:19] to stab that guy or not, but if he had said, if he had said my baby,

[00:57:22] my baby to draw him into the car, no role.

[00:57:26] Right.

[00:57:27] There's no need to roll that because somebody yelling and screaming when

[00:57:29] you're looking for help and wounded.

[00:57:31] Yeah.

[00:57:32] You're going to go check them out, right?

[00:57:33] Or you're looking for whatever like screaming, you know, my baby,

[00:57:36] my baby, oh, by the way, let me through this checkpoint.

[00:57:38] Okay.

[00:57:39] Now we're going to have to kind of get from you're not just going A

[00:57:41] to B now how are you actually making that work?

[00:57:43] Gotcha.

[00:57:44] But if you come up with a good narrative, if there's something else

[00:57:46] that's then you start adding circumstantial stuff.

[00:57:49] Not being pregnant, for example, if he was standing up would be very

[00:57:52] difficult to do.

[00:57:54] Cool.

[00:57:55] Cool.

[00:57:56] Okay.

[00:57:57] So we get to the safe house.

[00:57:59] Yeah.

[00:58:00] Yeah, you're getting close.

[00:58:03] It's worth a shot.

[00:58:05] There are more random encounter roles in this than there aren't

[00:58:08] out of the abyss.

[00:58:10] Probably not.

[00:58:11] I just got tired of making them.

[00:58:13] Oh, mine.

[00:58:14] These are more fun.

[00:58:15] I mean, you did make anyone.

[00:58:16] I played out of the abyss.

[00:58:17] I mean, I did.

[00:58:18] I kind of built around them.

[00:58:20] I just didn't do them in front of you guys.

[00:58:22] Yeah, sure.

[00:58:23] I was too busy lying about how things work to jump around the

[00:58:26] abyss or jump around the under dark worked.

[00:58:28] See, this is payback for that.

[00:58:29] Oh, is that what that is?

[00:58:31] It's payback for making your game easier to run.

[00:58:33] I'm sorry.

[00:58:35] Um, fucker still didn't kill me.

[00:58:40] Oh, man.

[00:58:43] Though I'm officially never playing anything Jeff runs again.

[00:58:47] No God's teeth for you.

[00:58:49] I'm not a player in that game.

[00:58:51] That's what you think.

[00:58:53] You end up making your way to the safe house.

[00:58:56] You find a burned out street houses that have been looted.

[00:59:02] You happen to find one that they've sort of directed you to

[00:59:05] that doesn't look smashed up.

[00:59:06] Most of these houses are going to have,

[00:59:09] most of them are going to be surrounded by walls,

[00:59:11] some of them with like broken glass or something else on the top.

[00:59:14] It's fairly standard to have walls around houses in this,

[00:59:17] in this part of the world.

[00:59:19] So there would be like a gate beyond the gate would be like a

[00:59:22] small courtyard and then the house inside.

[00:59:25] This house hasn't been kicked in, you know, nothing's been destroyed.

[00:59:29] So you and I think he even passed you some keys so you can get some,

[00:59:32] you can actually unlock and lock the gate and you can actually

[00:59:34] unlock and lock the door.

[00:59:36] Nice.

[00:59:38] You can find some place to stash the truck inside the walls.

[00:59:41] Yes.

[00:59:43] Mary's going to do a bug sweep as soon as we get in.

[00:59:45] Sure.

[00:59:46] Good call.

[00:59:47] Very good call.

[00:59:48] You don't find anything.

[00:59:50] Actually electricity is probably non-functional.

[00:59:54] Or electricity is sporadic throughout the day, I'm sure.

[00:59:57] But we can say that this is, that they arranged to get you

[01:00:01] a large two-story home of whitewash concrete,

[01:00:05] a interblock privacy wall with a steel gate so a car can be

[01:00:07] parked inside.

[01:00:09] And it's a two-story home with a basement.

[01:00:11] No immediate neighbors.

[01:00:13] There are other cars on the block.

[01:00:15] Cars that are functional or cars that are like blown up?

[01:00:18] Mostly mostly like burned out or destroyed cars.

[01:00:21] Or cars that have, you know, most of the vehicles would

[01:00:24] have been confiscated by ISIL for their own personal use.

[01:00:27] But I guess when I mean cars, I'm thinking of,

[01:00:29] I don't have a lot of experience in the war zone.

[01:00:31] So I guess what I should be saying is there are occupied

[01:00:34] houses.

[01:00:35] You can hear other people, there are noises,

[01:00:37] you can see some people, but in your immediate vicinity

[01:00:39] there aren't any.

[01:00:40] It's kind of unusual that a house this nice hasn't been

[01:00:43] looted or occupied.

[01:00:45] So maybe it was occupied recently and that Peshmerga gave

[01:00:48] it up to you or whatever the case may be.

[01:00:50] You're not really sure.

[01:00:51] But you're not finding any bugs.

[01:00:53] Are we finding anything else of interest in the house?

[01:00:56] No.

[01:00:57] A really nice Wi-Fi router with like one gigabyte

[01:01:01] innards.

[01:01:02] Yeah, the electricity is spotting on the fritz and it's

[01:01:05] but you're in Mosul.

[01:01:07] So officially on the, I guess technically that would be

[01:01:11] the afternoon of the 18th you are in Mosul.

[01:01:14] Base game.

[01:01:15] Oh my gosh guys, we're in Mosul.

[01:01:17] Been looking forward to this.

[01:01:19] We haven't died yet.

[01:01:20] And we didn't have to kill anybody.

[01:01:21] Nope.

[01:01:22] You wanted to though.

[01:01:23] Oh, I was thinking about it.

[01:01:24] You hear a buzzing noise.

[01:01:26] Sounds like Lucas.

[01:01:29] So now what do you want to do?

[01:01:32] Hospital first?

[01:01:33] What time of day is it?

[01:01:35] I mean, if I'm adding up all the time that it says that it took

[01:01:39] you guys, it's like been like an eight hour trip.

[01:01:43] It says just to get from the outside of Mosul to the safe

[01:01:46] house should have taken you like three and a half hours.

[01:01:49] Like you're only going four miles.

[01:01:51] We should probably set up a watch.

[01:01:53] One person on, three off.

[01:01:56] Either that or staggered.

[01:01:58] Staggered two on.

[01:02:00] I think it would probably be a good idea even though my computer

[01:02:03] died and my phone is apparently dead.

[01:02:05] Apparently it's the end of Friday and everything that I

[01:02:08] have is just running out of all energy and battery.

[01:02:12] Probably think about big things that you want to do next time.

[01:02:17] Well, the real question is based off of where we're at with

[01:02:21] the safe house.

[01:02:22] What is the closest of the main three targets we've

[01:02:25] discussed?

[01:02:26] I've tried to put you like we, we hard of the city where

[01:02:29] we're at.

[01:02:30] We can do whatever we want.

[01:02:32] Yeah, nice.

[01:02:33] Yep.

[01:02:34] No, I mean, a part of that is working with the Peshmerga.

[01:02:36] They have set you up in a relatively decent place.

[01:02:38] It seems to be off the way a little bit.

[01:02:40] It doesn't mean that nothing could happen there, but better

[01:02:43] off than you guys just kicking in the door of a random

[01:02:45] building and just taking it.

[01:02:46] You know what I mean?

[01:02:47] So localized SIGINT.

[01:02:49] You want to interview survivors at the hospital.

[01:02:52] We want to investigate the university.

[01:02:55] See if we can get into the infrastructure of the hospital

[01:02:58] and get the files on people.

[01:02:59] I'd say priority would then would probably be hospital

[01:03:02] over university just because we don't know how long the

[01:03:04] survivors are going to be in the hospital or what, you know.

[01:03:07] Yep.

[01:03:08] Probably hospital main target.

[01:03:10] Probably want to do some good old humid with locals

[01:03:13] and stuff to see if they have any.

[01:03:15] Know what's going on around us.

[01:03:16] Yep.

[01:03:17] And you would have brought civilian close too so you

[01:03:18] don't have to go out as ISIL fighters.

[01:03:20] Yeah.

[01:03:21] We also have to be careful about getting sold out.

[01:03:23] Yes.

[01:03:24] Yeah.

[01:03:25] I think we should make a rule not to let anybody know

[01:03:29] like we're at.

[01:03:31] So if you're going out and interacting with somebody,

[01:03:33] make sure you're using a false identity.

[01:03:35] Make sure you're not letting them know our location.

[01:03:37] Yeah.

[01:03:38] I mean, you could proceed on foot.

[01:03:39] You know, the car is kind of parked away.

[01:03:41] It's not anyone like trying to get over the fence

[01:03:44] or something would see it, but it's not obvious

[01:03:46] from the road that you have anything.

[01:03:47] There would be like a little carport or something

[01:03:50] like that, maybe a block structure that you could

[01:03:52] pull it into so it would kind of be tucked away

[01:03:54] from easy view.

[01:03:56] But yeah, you could go out in pairs.

[01:03:58] Obviously the women going out by themselves is

[01:04:00] potentially a hazardous situation.

[01:04:02] You go out dressed up as if you are militants,

[01:04:06] you could go out dressed up as civilians.

[01:04:08] So that kind of depends on what you want to do.

[01:04:10] But I would definitely think about that if you're

[01:04:12] going to the hospital or you're going to the hospital

[01:04:14] like strapped as ISIL militants.

[01:04:16] Are you going as secret service?

[01:04:18] Are you going as civilians?

[01:04:20] Because that's all going to give you different options

[01:04:22] and opportunities.

[01:04:23] Right.

[01:04:25] I think maybe just doing some recon at the hospital,

[01:04:29] even the morning of the day we want to do

[01:04:33] something bigger with the hospital,

[01:04:35] just getting an idea of who's in control of the hospital.

[01:04:38] How many ISIL people are there?

[01:04:41] Is there a checkpoint at the entrance of the hospital?

[01:04:44] Just getting an idea of what the fuck is going on

[01:04:46] at the hospital.

[01:04:47] Yeah, you could definitely do that.

[01:04:49] So as we're coming into Mosul,

[01:04:51] how much of an idea of the layout and everything like that

[01:04:55] do we have?

[01:04:57] I don't know what we have in the way of like,

[01:05:00] do we have Google Maps?

[01:05:01] Oh yeah, 100%.

[01:05:02] OK.

[01:05:03] Like it's fucked up, but it's fucked up

[01:05:05] because ISIL fucked it up.

[01:05:07] Again, I go back to, I think I've quoted this

[01:05:09] on the podcast before, but like when I was reading

[01:05:12] and doing research about all of this shit,

[01:05:14] they were fucking coordinating airstrikes

[01:05:16] through WhatsApp.

[01:05:18] Like you have the modern right here.

[01:05:21] They're sharing fucking videos on Facebook Messenger

[01:05:24] of themselves like...

[01:05:25] That's true, yeah.

[01:05:26] I mean it's 2016.

[01:05:27] That's right.

[01:05:28] Yeah, so you have the ability to look things up.

[01:05:30] So can we figure out where government centers are

[01:05:33] and things like that?

[01:05:34] Yeah, if that's a target that you would want to do,

[01:05:36] I would say then, you know,

[01:05:38] before next time think up a hit list

[01:05:40] of different things

[01:05:42] that you want to know or want to do.

[01:05:46] And then that kind of, if you prioritize it,

[01:05:48] then I can kind of prepare for some of those things.

[01:05:50] We should target or do recon as we travel to the city

[01:05:53] on ISIL strongholds for targets for Irene.

[01:05:55] I mean, I'm trying to track down the algebra.

[01:05:58] Yeah, I mean obviously specifically the algebra

[01:06:01] to keep an eye out for anybody who's ordering

[01:06:03] other people around.

[01:06:04] Yeah.

[01:06:05] You do know it would be harder for her to strike in here,

[01:06:07] but she would still, that information...

[01:06:09] Depending on the target and how much time

[01:06:11] elapsed from when we provide her the information.

[01:06:13] Correct.

[01:06:14] It may be worth pulling the trigger.

[01:06:16] Literally, I'm sure she would love a dead body image

[01:06:18] coming across her desk instead.

[01:06:20] And then when the satellite sees the rubble,

[01:06:22] she goes, achoo.

[01:06:23] What else?

[01:06:24] Anything else we want to sort of discuss this evening?

[01:06:26] Targeted information for thoughts

[01:06:29] when we do get to the university.

[01:06:32] Like questions we want to ask.

[01:06:35] Like potential...

[01:06:36] I mean, do we even know who we should be talking to?

[01:06:39] No.

[01:06:40] You have a contact inside Mosul.

[01:06:43] The Peshmerga gave you a contact.

[01:06:45] Right, yeah.

[01:06:46] I know someone we could call.

[01:06:47] State for me again, Cody, you said it was very nebulous.

[01:06:51] It was like if we need help.

[01:06:53] They're just giving you the ability

[01:06:55] to get a hold of the Peshmerga.

[01:06:57] Okay.

[01:06:58] They didn't really specify what that was.

[01:07:00] Okay.

[01:07:01] Like you imagine it's a Peshmerga.

[01:07:03] If you need help, here's a phone number.

[01:07:05] Yeah, I mean...

[01:07:06] I think it...

[01:07:07] They don't see you have helped them

[01:07:09] and they don't see your...

[01:07:10] This is basically all the goodwill you bought

[01:07:12] from the Peshmerga, got you into this place

[01:07:14] and got you that phone number.

[01:07:16] Nice.

[01:07:17] You may need to exchange more to get any more

[01:07:19] but they at least got this far.

[01:07:21] Does that make sense?

[01:07:22] Yeah.

[01:07:23] It allows us to continue to communicate with Peshmerga

[01:07:25] behind enemy lines.

[01:07:28] Okay.

[01:07:29] We need to know...

[01:07:30] We need to pick targets to question about what happened

[01:07:32] in Ennava.

[01:07:33] That was part of why I thought about discussion

[01:07:35] with somebody at the university,

[01:07:37] whether it's battalions or somebody who has any idea

[01:07:39] of what that site would be.

[01:07:41] Or if we can find out who the survivors were.

[01:07:43] Survivors from...

[01:07:44] Well, no, I guess that was just a random attack, wasn't it?

[01:07:47] The survivors who were taken to Alcanza.

[01:07:49] Yeah, some of them were.

[01:07:51] Now wait, which hospital would the survivors

[01:07:54] from Rissoms be at?

[01:07:56] I would think if they have more than one...

[01:07:59] If there's more than one hospital,

[01:08:01] which we would presume,

[01:08:02] you wouldn't have one in the northeast

[01:08:04] if they were coming from the southeast.

[01:08:06] You know what I mean?

[01:08:07] There's hospitals in those...

[01:08:08] Yes, I understand that.

[01:08:09] Google Maps is a little bit different

[01:08:11] from the one they printed in here

[01:08:12] and the one that I gave you for this game, Jeff.

[01:08:14] Yeah, I know, but I'm saying, yeah,

[01:08:16] there are multiple hospitals.

[01:08:18] Take it up with Glancy.

[01:08:19] Well, giving the...

[01:08:20] Call it some bitch.

[01:08:21] Not all of them may have been functional at this time.

[01:08:24] That's true.

[01:08:25] So...

[01:08:26] Yeah, I mean, you pull up pictures of some of these

[01:08:28] and you can still see them bombed out.

[01:08:30] Yeah.

[01:08:31] That's against the Geneva Convention.

[01:08:38] That ain't the way to have fun, son.

[01:09:08] And, as of this fall, keep circulating the tapes.

[01:09:10] Much love, everybody.

[01:09:38] That ain't the way to have fun, son.

[01:09:42] That ain't the way to have fun, son.
