Speaker 1 (00:00):
Mag Mill was a production of I Heart Radio and
Bamford Productions. Jesus Christ, I have to be on the
floor less and you want to leave this now? Nothing
like the last minute, Kevin, Can you just stop and
listen to me for once? It's important, so important that
you wait into the last possible second on one of
the biggest days of my life to tell me, Janna, please,
(00:22):
just I don't want to fight, okay, really, because the
way you've been acting the last few days, shores Hell
doesn't show with that. God damnit, Janna, listen to me.
This is serious. Christ, relaxed. Just look, I'm not supposed
to be telling you this, okay, but I can't not
tell you. It's not fair to you or to Sydney.
And I am breaking every goddamn protocol in the book
(00:44):
by doing this. But I can't have this on my conscience.
And you go off and not know. You have to know,
Hang on, what are you? What are you talking about?
Project magml. It's it's more than you think it is.
What the fund does? That mean? Your mission? It's important.
What you're about to do is significant. It truly is.
(01:05):
But there is another part of it that they haven't
told you about the nebula? What about the fucking nebula? Kevin.
For the last several months, we've been tracking an anomaly
of sorts in the nebula of what it is quite yet,
but part of this mission is to figure that out.
So we're sending data back to you guys to figure
out what is going on out there. So what isn't
(01:26):
that the overall mission to begin with? Yes, but this
anomaly is different. They think it might be micro black hole.
Are you fucking kidding me? Keep your voice down. You're
sending me to fly through a fucking black hole? I said,
might be. We don't know for sure. But even if
(01:48):
it is, the readings we have on it, the way
it acts, you shouldn't have anything to worry about. How
the funk do you want me to not worry about
a black hole? It's on a cycle of expanding and contracting.
It's sub atomic miniscule. You won't even be able to
see it or pick it up on your scans. But
when you fly through the nebula will get better readings
on it, so it'll help us better understand it. But
(02:09):
there is a fucking black hole out there, I mean,
how often does it expand you have a point zero
zero zero zero zero zero zero zero zero one chance
of that happening when you pass through the nebula. It
is such a small risk, small, but enough of one
where they didn't want to tell us. I know, I know,
I requested, formally requested at least ten times to let
(02:32):
you in on it with General Tompkins, but he denied
it every time. He wants it classified and for it
to stay that way. That fucking prick wants me to
fly through a black hole for him and not even
fucking tell me about it. Stop listen to me. Okay.
The chances of anything happening, of it expanding are so
low you have a better chance of getting hit by
a car in space, Okay, sun fucking believable. Look, I
(02:58):
know things haven't been eight with us lately, but I
just couldn't live with myself if you went out there
and you didn't know about it. I mean, God forbid
anything has happened. Thanks, Kevin, really makes me feel better
now that you told me about it. I'm going against
orders and risking my job to try to fucking help you, Jenna,
So shut the funk up and listen to me. I'm
(03:18):
risking my fucking life, Kevin, don't you think that's a
little more important, which is why I'm fucking telling you. Jesus,
you can be so fucking hardheaded. Sometimes I'm the hardheaded one.
Five minutes to me down the floor, be right there.
I'm I'm sorry. I just I still care about you.
(03:41):
That's that's why I'm telling you now. And if anything
should happen, you said nothing would happen, I know, but
in case it does, you should know what you're getting
yourself into. I wish I had more time to tell
you myself. But Proteus has been programmed with C class
level mission ameter. Prodeus knows too. It's buried so deep
(04:02):
in the programming even they don't know anything about it,
but you should. The access code is fifty three beta
to seed to get into it, and after you close
it out, Proteuss programming will forget all about it again.
Fucking damn it, Kevin. I can't fucking believe this since Sid,
my god, she's gonna blow her lid when she finds out. No, no,
you can't tell anyone about this, okay, especially Sid Kevin.
(04:25):
This is serious, Janna. We'd all get court martialed when
you got back. I'm sorry. I should have told you sooner.
I should have fought harder with General Tompkins. Well it's
too fucking late now, isn't it. I'm about to get
on a goddamn spaceship for four years. I know I
fucked up, but it's just it's too late. I gotta go.
(04:49):
I guess I'll see you when I see you. What
the fund did you do? Kevin M Magmal Episode seven,
(05:15):
eight years, seven months and three days him baby, two
(05:47):
kilometers until destination. Here we go. Conclusive data system fail Okay,
system failure. No no, no, no, no no no. Sid Jane,
(06:18):
are you okay? I'm over here? Hang on, let me
just fuck okay, hang on, hang on, don't move, let
me let me get you something. Oh it's fine, I'm fine.
You got wailed in the head. You might have a concussion.
If that explains. My brain is screaming. Just let me
get up her, lean against me. Let's get you into
(06:40):
a chair. Very easy, easy, you're good? Are you? Did
you hit your head too? No? I just feel like
something is wrong. Yeah, no, ship see give me a
status report else status report. Communications systems are offline. Sensors
(07:05):
are offline Engine damage at six replacement for Quartona valve needed.
Exterior whole damage detected. Engaging Auto repair recommended. What the fuck?
I wonder what we're wrong. We passed through the Nebula
and everything just fucking it happened. What happened? Huh you
(07:26):
just said it happened. What happened? I think maybe you
did hit your head, because I definitely didn't say anything. Recordless.
We got to make a new plan if we turned around. Now,
how long until we get back? Return trip estimated at
eight years, seven months, three days. That doesn't seem right.
Jesus Christ said, how the fun did you know? He
was going to say that. I don't know. Not that
(07:48):
it matters, because both your calculations are way off. There's
no way t reboot rebooting back online, and my calculations
are fine. Return trip estimated at eight years, seven months,
and three days. We are currently one seven point four
three trillion kilometers from the helix Nebula. Wait, what how
(08:11):
the fund is that possible? Sidney checked the nav computer
said what nav computer? Go? Sorry? Sorry, sus are you
sure you're okay? I? No, I don't know. I feel
like this is a massive deja vu. Well, can you
save your mind glitches for later? We're kind of in
a crisis rate here. He's he's right, Jenna. No, No,
(08:35):
come on, that's not possible. Look at the stars. I
don't recognize any of them. Fuck, what the funk happened?
How is this possible? T? Can you raise the lighthouse
for us? No? The long range communications offline? She is correct,
they are offline. Did I say that already? Yes? No,
I don't know. I just assumed they were. What nothing?
(08:59):
I just I need to sit down to take it easy. TE.
How far out are we? There are no records of
our current position. I believe we may be further out
than my system charts have on file. I can initiate
auto repairs. Okay, do that? How long until we're back online?
Two hours until minimum operating conditions? And then what we
(09:20):
try to get the funk out of here? Two hours
minimum for short range travel. We still need a replacement
part for long range. Oh god, damn it? What now?
What's going on? T? That is not one of our
known alarm systems. We are receiving a distress beacon of
unknown origin. Distress beacon? Oh my god? What there's another
ship out there. I a Magma will return after these
(09:51):
messages and now back to mag Mell. Hello, this is
(10:19):
the Magmal. There's a distress calling. We're close. We have
to go check it out. It's bad world over here.
I mean, canna, Kenna, do you read me? Quiet? How
could you have to do this to funk? Is that? No?
(10:42):
Not that that at the end of the hall? Ta
Can you back to find the image? Clean it up
a bit, I'll fry, will you too? Shut up? I'm
trying to listen. Hello, is someone there? I can't see
anything top right into the hole. It looks like is
that a person? Are you there? Can you hear me? Back? Sits?
(11:08):
Shut up? Hey? Are you there? Nna, I'm gonna go look,
just give me a second. Hello, Jenna, What the fuck
the funk is this? This is a fucking joke. I
told you this is going to happen, Jenna, but you
deserved this. You went behind my back and took everything
I was working towards. This isn't happening. This isn't happening.
(11:31):
This is happening. No, No, it's not. I am hallucinating.
I got a concussion and this is just my brain
trying to work through this. Look at me, Jenna, there's
something wrong with my oxygen and I'm just looking at me.
You're going to die out here all alone, just like
you deserve for what you did. I didn't do anything.
(11:52):
You broke my heart, you stole from me. How could
you do this to me? Clean? No more clean? If
you're never coming home again, you're going to spend the
rest of your life in the coldness of space to
match what is inside your heart. Please, I'm sorry, it's
too late, Jenna. There's no getting out of this. I
(12:13):
warned you. I told you, and now you'll see over
and over again. Please please, Kevin, how could you do
this to me? Hello? Kevin? What the fuck? Jesus? Kick
(12:37):
your ship together, Janna, you're fucking losing it. You didn't see, Kevin.
You just you just need to get the funk out
of here and lay down. Okay, keep magml Do you
read me? Said said? Come in? Do you read me?
(12:59):
What happen? No? I'm fine, everything is fine. I am.
I'm in the galley and I accidentally knocked over a pan. Yeah,
a pan like for cooking. Whoever used to be here?
They just left all their ships on the table and
I am I knocked it over. It was a shadow.
I don't know if it's a goddamn flashlight or something
playing tricks on me. Fuck the ship man of them all.
(13:25):
I gotta get out of here. This place is giving
me the hebe gebs. Dude, please get the hell out
of there now. Hang on, there's something else here on
the table in the galley. It looks like an idol.
I'm gonna bring it back. It's like made of clay
or something, and it's just about the only thing not
covered in the mold over here. Whatever it is, come back.
I just have to run to the engine room to
(13:46):
check and see if they have that valve and grab
the ship blog cool, hurry up, please stop, Come on.
We gave ourselves a little scared. What's the worst thing
that can happen that m Magmal will returned after these messages?
(14:14):
And now back to Magmill. I thought I heard voices.
I did too, but I think we were just getting
some electronic interference from the ship, just artifacts from some
(14:35):
of their previous transmissions. The idol, it doesn't look like
any of the deities the ancient tribes on Earth used
to worship. What did they say? What? Did who say?
The whispering voices? How could you do this to me?
(15:00):
M te? What time is it? It is currently to
thirty two a m. Eastern Standard time? Is everything all right? Yeah?
I just had a nightmare? Can I assist in any way? No,
it's fine. I think I just need a midnight snack
(15:22):
or something. As I said, it's two thirty two a m.
Eastern Standard time. It's a figure of speech, t for
kidding that certainly hits the spot. Hello, yeah, te what
(15:55):
is that? I do not detect anything? Is everything all right?
I thought I heard something? Did I leave my kids?
Sette deck on? I do not believe so. I do
not detect the frequency of that antique. Hmm, it's weird. Okay, seriously,
what the fund is that? I believe Sydney is awake too?
Do you want me to broadcast to her bunk? No? No,
(16:18):
no, no no, that's okay. I just god, I heard him something.
It sounds like it's coming from the galley. Do you
seriously not hear that? Tea? Can't help you? No, no, no, no, no,
no no no no, I'm not doing this again. Already done, Jen?
(16:38):
What is this some kind of sucking trick. Is this
the god damn idol? I sort of funk. I will
smash this thing right now. That won't stop, Jenna, It's
too bad. No, stop it. Everything from how could you
do this to me? I said, stop it. I didn't
take anything from you. It's stop stop stop. I said stop,
(17:00):
stop stop. Sydney, Sydney in away from me, say stop Sydney,
Stop Sydney, Jesus stop, stop the fucking off of me.
What is wrong with you? Wrong with me? What's wrong
with you? Where were you? Are you? My mom? I
went to get a fucking snack. I was hungry, and
you came running in here like a bat out of hell. Yeah,
but you didn't. You didn't hear all that here? What
(17:25):
you're screaming like a lunatic when you ran in here? No, no,
those those voices, I thought I heard voices. Fock Sidney,
pull yourself together. But but I heard something and and
then I saw something out the port side. And I
swear to God, Jenny, I feel this, all of this,
I feel it happened before. Okay, listen, take a breath,
(17:45):
Listen to yourself. You need to get a grip. There
was there was nothing mold get to you or something.
Are you feeling okay? I told you I feel strange.
Something is seriously wrong here. Janna said, you need to
go get some sleep. Yeah, yeah, that's a good idea.
Can we get her something to calm her down? Please? Yes,
of course. But you may want to see this first. Funk.
(18:07):
What now out the main viewport to the right? What
is it? Te what's out there? Oh? Apologies, I did
not mean to frighten you. There is nothing out there
to concern you, but I thought you'd just like to know.
God know what, Tea spit it out already the planet.
We're here, Maybe just because a mysterious voice told you
(18:29):
to do something, you should think twice before you actually
do it. Stop once, step closer and I will smash it.
Something is out there, she's out there. Stop fighting you, Sydney.
(18:52):
Stop you're not thinking clearly. Put the wrench down, don't
you see we have to stop it. That's the only
way to save her. Wake up, Jenna, Look at me, Jenna,
(19:20):
look at me. Kevin. No, Jenna, I'm not Kevin. He's
not really here. That's just who you want to see.
What do you want from me? I want you to
listen to e Jenna. Okay, can you do that? Yes,
You're going to die out here Jenna alone, just like
(19:44):
I said. You know you're going to die again and
again and again. But you don't have to. You can
stop this, Eajenna. Why you can break the cycle. You
can break us all out of it. You just have
(20:06):
to remember, remember, remember, remember, and stop this. M What
(20:27):
would you do? Do you have the chance to think
over here? What would you do do? Good morning, Magma crew.
