((Since this is the final week, there's no AC this week! But don't forget to check your memory regains, and submit for regains! The final rolls will be Sunday night (4/1)! We will also be posting the official endgame announcement later today!))

The super secret special broadcast from Florida?

Yes. At that time, we learned of a person named Radical Skullqueen.

I can't tell if that's the best or the worst name I've ever heard.

I believe she was responsible for allowing that communication, so I am inclined to call it the best.

Okay, cool, good for her. Can we get that to happen again or what?

Unfortunately, I don't think we can. And Radical, if Nari is right, is being held captive. It is incredibly important that we rescue her.

...Iiiiiis it...?

Yes. Very.

Yes.

I need to find her so I can help her save Flavortown.

You said some words there that, individually, I know what they mean, but together...

There's a planet called Flavortown. It's where Blaze Dudely, our Overseer, came from. It was a beautiful place once, but now it's slowly tearing itself apart.

If I can't find Rad, and get the word out about what's happening to it, the whole planet will be destroyed.

...O...kay?

What does that have to do with you or with any of us getting out of here?

Flavortown is connected to all of this. Both Sir Blaze and Sir Fourtinbras are from there. And the simulation changed to Flavortown last week.

I think part of it has to do with the Network itself. If Rad and Blaze were roped into all this, just like we were. Flavortown is definitely connected to all of this.

...Plus, I made a promise to a friend that I would do it. He said it was important and I'm going to see my promise through.

We can do it once we're safe and our friends are safe.

We might have to do it before we or our friends are safe. I don't think there's much time, and we already know that Rad and her friends are being held captive somewhere on this spaceport.

We're at a fucking spaceport, not on a doomed planet. I dunno how you wanna fucking help some bullshit-named planet we don't even know where it the fuck is before we do anything else.

Rad knows. She would have to know, which is why I want to rescue her. We will rescue everyone, Church.

It would also give us an extra edge against the Network, don't you think?

Doesn't, uh, really sound like it, but also, I'm not sure how you're gonna get to Bullshit Planet even if you find out where it is from here.

I can fly a spaceship, Church. Or someone else can.

Have you seen one anywhere? Cuz I haven't.

Church, calm. If they can help us escape and get revenge on the network, then perhaps we should play their game. Tit for tat.

['We don't know them so why should we prioritize them over us' is a really familiar argument, he's finding.]

Kinda done with playing games, I would totally rather focus on the being prepared to find our people and get out, but. [He throws up his hands.] Sure, I guess 'hit the cube until we end up where these randos are and then do something from there' is more of a plan than anything else we have.

Sir Church.

Church...

[he lightly puts a hand on his arm]

Only caring for my own is what made me the prime target for being an Overseer. It's what kept our groups from fully being able to work together, both in here and when we were on the run. Now is the time to prove ourselves better then what the network would make us.
