compatriots-It's also important to listen to one's knees from time to time.

Stepping out of our routines creates opportunities for the angels, David.

[birds chirping]

There's no material in existence that can protect the human mind from the rigors of interdimensional travel.

Um, where can I go for a walk?

Okay.

I will just stand out here by myself.

[footsteps] Hey, Lucien.

Looks like it's just you and me.

What are we doing today?

But with the ship, there's this wall of doubt, and you, y- you don't think that's weird?

Qalandis.

[gunshot] Fuck you.

And I guess I didn't, so excuse my childish action of, you know, trying to prevent a psychopathic god from controlling the universe.

[gunshots] [tree falling] I can see that you've changed.

That doesn't mean everyone else changes with you.

It waits around for you, you know.

That person that you've tried so hard not to be, they just sit there and wait.

Usually wait for you to be alone.

If anyone can do it, it's you, right?

Change how?

I don't know.

It was nice.

It started to feel like home, kind of.

Then an older version of me showed up and tried to get me to leave, and then an even older version of me showed up, and Ava started asking questions.

But even then, I didn't tell her the whole story.

Then we encountered this wreck of an old Sigian ship, and I had to sit there and act like I didn't know what Sigius was.

Are we saying that these Urt guys built all of this?

[laughs]

[Singing] I am a roving gambler.

I roam from town to town.

Whenever I meet with a deck of cards, I lay my money down.

Bring them in.

Jesus Christ.

Leave us alone.

I'm sure I don't know, Bugaboo.

Stay completely silent.

[slurping] [sighs] Pretty impressive.

Sounds like someone's been reading my playbook.

Who are you? Ah, never mind, I'll find out.

I hope whatever you got was worth it.

It'll be the reason you end up dead.

It'll take me a second, but I'll get you.

[outro music]

Um, what, what, what's your life? [laughs]

Um, my life.

Well, I...

Yeah, I don't know, I just do, uh, life things, you know.

Eat food, go to the grocery store.

I've got a dog, you know.

Um-

What part were you oofing at?

Is it? Let's see what we can pluck out of the ether, shall we?

I know Earth is a backwater caveman convention, but as it turns out, I was one of the smartest guys living there.

So smart that I invented something that would change everything.

At the bottom of an abandoned gold mine, I performed a miracle.

I pulled energy out of nothing, like a magic trick.

A thirty million dollar magic trick.

The first time my team saw all the lights come up on the energy register, they all cheered, lost their minds.

Yes

[keyboard clicking]

Hey.

It's me.

Uh, this is, this is a stupid message to send.

[laughs] I am currently in Cryptesia, believe it or not.

Uh, and even though this message travels at the speed of light, it will take, I'm guessing, 2.4 million years to reach the nearest comms node.

So what am I doing? I'm sending this because it may be the last time I send a message to someone.

That's not how I feel.
