Today is February 10th, 2023 andis currently O 650 hours.
Reveille was 20 minutes ago. Got my morning shower in a cup
of black coffee and ready to start the day from once in what
I think maybe my entire career as a United States Marshall.
I have no investigations ongoingbut officially anyway.
(01:07):
Always something going on aroundhere, but I shouldn't say
anything until there is officially something to say.
The station is preparing for theupcoming winter season, which
begins next week. The final staff rotation is
underway and it's looking like we'll have 53 people on station
this 1 / 25 hour lifers and 28 new for winter.
Each and every one of these new people ride has had an extensive
(01:30):
background check performed and more than a few were turned away
as there was some level of abnormality during the reviews.
NSF, the OPP who's down with theOPP, and the DOJ have been extra
thorough. We've had enough people with
forged credentials come through the station already.
We're doubling down with the prechecks.
Of course, everything has to go through Miss Chipperfield and HR
(01:51):
to ensure it was above board. And she decided she's going to
spend her winter back in the States, so with Mom not in the
house, we can actually let her hair down a bit after she's
gone. I contemplated retaking my old
office back, but I've grown fondof the one along the
administration hall already. Although I have no formal
(02:13):
pressing investigation, we do have various items to cover.
Special Deputy Culligan arrived last night to escort Wilford
back to McMurdo and then over toUS Marshals, who will pick him
up and secure him in Christchurch.
Getting back to Mud Town from Christchurch will still be
possible for several weeks aftertravel.
Two months this guy has shut down.
Special Deputy Culligan arrived last night to escort Wilford
(02:33):
back to McMurdo and then over toUS Marshals who will pick him up
in Secureman, Christchurch. Getting back to Mud Town from
Christchurch will still be possible for several weeks after
travel to the Munson. Scott is shut down, so you'll
still be able to get back in time to hunger.
Down Palmer's already secured now for the winter with only 12
individuals remaining on station.
Special Deputy Court relayed there has been no additional
(02:55):
individuals on station suspectedof being holes.
In addition, the tourist season has wound down so no more day
trippers. His hair Wilfred is still in a
coma and his condition hasn't changed.
They're already prepping a room for him in Christchurch so he
can be monitored and try to accelerate his healing process.
It was also something of a surprise to hear that Doctor
(03:17):
Julian Ambrose will be leaving us.
He decided to go back to privatepractice in the States.
I mentioned working down Antarctica for seven years was
more than he had ever thought hewould stay.
He's taken off 6 months before he goes back to work so we can
tour all the prestigious golf courses in the US first.
Which leaves Doctor Tim's for the winner, who has also been
(03:38):
named head physician for the station.
Had a nine tails and all. You know what I should have
been. What's she and Fred and Joy?
All right, anyway, the station population is beginning to thin
out now, only 80 or so remaining, having flashbacks to
returning after the crash and just how isolated everything
(04:00):
seemed. Now, however, that isolation
will be providing us a bit of reprieve against any new
attempts being made to come after us.
Last item of note, prior to their departure, Zeke had his
team search the station top to bottom, looking for anything out
of the ordinary, anything that would have been planted as a
surprise. And we couldn't get into the
(04:21):
Atlas areas, of course, nor the locked up electrical panel room.
But after four days, everybody came back with nothing out of
the usual having been cited. I'm still nervous about the
decision. The team here made the decision
remain on station despite the threat from Josh Nicholson,
whomever it is he's representing.
None of them have been trained to be able to help defend the
(04:43):
station in the event of somebodycoming in to do harm.
My responsibility to do my job and keep everybody safe is more
than I envision having to undertake.
I debated asking for additional deputies from Marshall Murphy,
but with the winter approaching,it's a decision I won't need to
make for another eight months orso.
All right, time to get the day started.
(05:04):
Bass Marlow, Supervisor, US Deputy Marshall.
Update completed February 10th, 2023 and it's O 700.
Good morning y'all. I hope all my pulleys are doing
(05:24):
wonderful this morning. Today is February 10th and it's
0900 on the tick. This is Miss Cheryl Lynn here
with your South Pole daily announcements.
All departing pulleys are reminded to stop by operations
and check with Mr. Kelly to determine which final transports
(05:45):
y'all will be on. It's always a sad time to see so
many of my little angels leavingthe station.
Each and everyone of you should be prouder than a Mama dog
showing off her cute new puppies.
OK y'all, just give me a minute here.
I swore I wasn't going to have another come apart this morning.
(06:07):
Oh, my little chickens fly in the coop.
I mean, if chickens could fly duck ones, maybe that's it.
Little cute duckies with the furcoming off and being replaced
with big bird feathers. I'm going to do it to myself.
Now. Let me just hit this tape deck
so we can move on. I'm OK if I could get it over
(06:34):
Mr. June losing his sobriety every five days.
I can weather this. All right.
Where was I? Oh, right, since our last
logistics leader was a low down snake in the grass Boston
Yankees. Bye.
Mr. Kelly will be interviewing for a replacement position
(06:58):
starting today from 1100 to 1400in his office.
You need to have a good head formath, the ability to keep really
good records, and our preferenceis that you ain't secretly
working for a clandestine and subversive U.S. government
organization. Or I guess really any government
(07:18):
organization. Really, Any who y'all go jar
with Thomas If and you're interested, all cargo teams are
reminded that supplies and finaldrop offs from Christchurch are
behold inside the supply arch we're into.
Do not freeze huts by this time next week.
The last thing anybody wants is to have to wait for our sundries
(07:42):
to be warmed up to be usable. Most of y'all don't remember the
frozen bathroom paper conundrum of 2017 and those that do, we
ain't wanting to repeat that experience.
Beginning tomorrow evening and every Wednesday throughout the
winter season, Gladys will be hosting the pick up knitting
(08:06):
room. Oh Gladys, I know you didn't.
You did not try to start up another knitting room at the
craft room. We talked about this girl.
You ain't going to come down here and try to introduce me to
point Y'all. Just ignore that announcement.
Seems Gladys got back into the private sash of Kentucky mash
(08:29):
that was supposed to be spent over to Reno Dave's Bar.
Come on now, Gladys, you're so low with this you could crawl
under a snake's belly. Anywho, today for breakfast,
lunch, Lady Alice is whipping upsome breakfast burritos.
Eggs made any old way you want them.
(08:50):
Waffles and griddle cakes. For lunch.
She's got burgers, hot dogs, grilled salmon and fresh baked
bread. Oh, it's going to be a regular
old tailgate party down in the galley.
Just don't tell Mister Chu we are the suds or hooch is at For
supper we'll be having bacon wrapped chicken filet Ming in
(09:12):
spaghetti with meat red sauce orfor our vegetarian squash salad
or grilled cheese sandwiches with cream of mushroom soup.
Alice is also taking requests for meals to make during the
winter season, so get those requests in soup Next week.
(09:33):
Our resident mental health specialist Doctor Sidney Brimmer
will be returning to set up his shop and make sure we all
weather the winter storms without any problems this coming
season. Just like last season, all
police who are renter over and will be required to visit our
doctor at least twice a month. For your own good health and not
getting too worked up must be a better way of saying that.
(09:59):
Coach Glenn would like to thank all his Ice Picks summer
volleyball team for a wonderful season and a down to the wire
finish against the McMurdo Mud Dogs for the Antarctica
Championship three years in a row.
After some well deserved time off, Coach Glenn and team
captain Fred Ferguson will beginscouting talent for the winter
(10:20):
season intramural in preparationfor the 2023 Summer Season Open.
Lastly, an announcement and invitation for All Winter Owen
to join us in the big gym at 7:00 PM this time next week for
the traditional double feature of The Thing and The Shining
(10:42):
projected up on the big screen. All the Waltz will be free to
attend as our Chief of Engineering Zeke has volunteered
to take the emergency shift in the Arches that night.
So there you go. You take Care now, my polis.
Let's get all their chores takencare of before we settle in for
(11:02):
the winter. You have a wonderful and blessed
day. Except you, Gladys.
Oh. Oh, that's what you get.
Thank you. Recording has commenced of the
(11:38):
next way we carried. All right, doctors, I'm here.
What's this exciting news you have?
Oh, this, This is the most impressive work we've achieved,
Agent Father. Most impressive, Even if the
horns were Tooting our own. But that said a Tutu.
Can somebody please just tell mewhat the urgency is?
(11:59):
The current aspects of the challenge we've been facing are
twofold. The first, as you're aware, is
the location of the gravimetric signature for the station as it
bounces around the 20 square mile radius of the central point
where that station will disappear in 2057, so you can
pinpoint it. We believe we're only days away.
(12:19):
Not just being able to locate it, but we'll be able to
forecast where she'll appear days before she continues
jumping within all space if we're right, which we are.
If we're right, we'll be able topredict exactly where the
station will appear during Event4.
Thanks in no small measure to the instrumentation I have
prepared and shipped from Papoose Mountain Beauregard
(12:42):
Lowing Research Facility. Early testing with it exceeding
our initial estimates using technology refined by our
corporate benefactors as we've obtained 3 Lisa units.
Oh yes, my apologies, Agent Fowler.
That stands for Laser Inferometer Space antenna housed
on portable wheeled units that rotate around the station in a
(13:03):
triangular formation, beaming lasers at one another as a
gravitation waves formed by the station in null space pass
through the beams. The units will detect the edges
of the triangle being affected. It's detection technology which
we at Beauregard Lowing have nowperfected far more in advance
(13:24):
than the Magnus 100 prototype detector Fermi Lab is building
in the Bativa Labs. Pedestrian hobbyists.
We have the units mounted on theremote vehicles, and they've
completed their 100th circuit around the station.
The data they produce in conjunction with the theories
provided by Doctor Dellum are not just extremely promising,
they're able to predict the exact location of the next wave
(13:47):
being generated. It's been right the last five
times. Translation, Gemma, please.
All right. OK.
So remember a few weeks back when we said we were hoping to
get the appearance location for event forward down to roughly 2
square miles from 20? Yes, confidence is high.
(14:10):
We can reduce that appearance window now on event 4 to one
quarter square mile when RobertaBondar Re emerges, we can set up
just outside that area and be onstation in less than 30 minutes.
Impressive. Little Bird director Dantes will
be very pleased. You said before that the
challenges were twofold though, so that's the first.
(14:33):
What's the second? Well, this is where Doctor Jovak
and his interesting theory comesin.
After we all reviewed his findings.
Even I must admit it was impressive.
Oh yeah, You know, that's the first time, the very first time
you've ever paid me a compliment, Lawrence.
(14:54):
About damn time. It all comes down to a
stabilization of the displaced environment, tethering it to our
space, not theirs. And time, as opposed to having
it slip back into null space at the apogee of the 96 hour
rotation, forces her back. Oh well, that that glossy eyed
(15:16):
look that you're giving me tellsme I I need to explain further,
perhaps in laywoman terms. Doctor Jovak.
What? What?
Did you just say? Dear HR, Miss Chipperfield told
me that layman was a sexist term.
I'm endeavouring to be more accommodating.
(15:38):
The judges would also accepted layperson, but we'll put that
all on a gift certificate. Pat OK, so to think of this
event like, oh, I like our planet Earth, the event rotates
on an axis itself, just like Earth and also just like our
planet, it rotates around its own giant gravitational force we
(15:58):
call soul. That's soul, not soul.
God, I love that Bobby Oldenkirk, him and David Cross
on Mr. Show. Anyway, the station that's the
Canadian station, the one with the motion and the Maple syrup
and stuff, not ours of course, is tethered to a gravitational
instability in space, which rotates around just like the
Earth in our solar system. Each year, actually every 375
(16:21):
days to be exact, the position of that station returns to more
or less the same exact point foronly 96 hours.
It's during that extended window, not the one you look
out, but the window in time, where the layer between our
space and null space is so thin,wafer thin that you'll be able
to pass through. After that, the intersection
closes. BAM, until the next event window
(16:42):
370 days later. The moving appearance point is
probably due to planetary wobbleon its axis along with some null
space factor. Right, right, I see not a
bleeding word coming out of yourgob told me any part of how to
grab the station. Granddad, please don't ever go
into teaching. Well, the key is to introduce
(17:05):
both, both gravimetric field enveloping the station
enveloping yeah, enveloping the station and to activate the just
as before. This envelope which envelops
will effectively tether the future station allow in the
pocket, not the one in your pants of null space to continue
(17:27):
on its orbit without it. And operating is the chain for
that anchor outcome. We keep the station in our space
and I retired to a sunny beach with beautiful wealthy widows,
retirees, limbos and margaritas.How low can you go?
Quite low I might say. OK, so we can get all this
(17:48):
sussed out then for event 4? Sadly, not everything, no.
All right, Johnny Ball, why don't you give it a whirl?
While we are more than confidentwe can locate the station,
stabilizing it will require muchmore data.
Presently, the combined consensus here is that we need
to install additional sensor units inside this station and
(18:10):
map its patterns for one more year after event 4.
If we can get the data obtained,we should be able to make a grab
during event 5. Doctor Wainwright.
I'm in agreement, yes. All right, then I'll notify
Director Dante's in the next scientific batch upload in the
morning. Given these updates, I predict
(18:31):
she'll be in less of a crabby mood than normal.
All right, everyone speaking is taking up enough of our time.
Let's get back to actual work, shall we?
All right, let's go, people. They ain't paying us by the
(18:52):
hour. Let's go.
Head them out. Go, go, go.
Danny, will you please show the new crew how to stack crates on
the shelves? I don't want the same mess we
had last minute. I want a nice clean dispersal
this time. Let's get it done right people?
Oh, hey, not the best time. Lol.
Man, he's still several hours behind schedule.
I lay down to be fully secure for winter and if we don't pick
(19:14):
up then few hours, it'll be double shift till we do.
You feel me, people? Look, I'm sorry.
I know this is your busy week, buddy.
I won't keep you for long, I promise.
Yeah. All right, Dan, hold up a
second. What the hell you doing, Keenan?
I know you're not done unloading, huh?
Damn, this. He is done in record time, too.
(19:35):
I swear that kid is gunning for my job.
Well, you want me young blood? You want a cookie?
So you did your job once. Out my boot up your ass.
Go help lies and Jesus. Hey, Soos with their unloading.
Damn. What is making me so proud?
Yeah, maybe you should tell him that every once in a while.
Sorry, I didn't hear that. What were you talking about?
(19:57):
I'm just checking with everybodywho has new staff under them and
will be wintering over with us making sure there's nothing
giving them concern. I figured better deal that now
while we still have this transport back to the US versus
after winter when all flights are grounded, man.
No, nothing like that man. I reviewed all the files with
Dwell's coming in and had Miss Chipper Field triple check the
(20:18):
background. So anything not smelling good
and there weren't nothing. And they know the trades
answered all my questions correctly.
There's nothing that stood out. That's good.
I'm actually, it's great. It's the best news I've heard so
far today. How about the others?
I spoke to Mr. Kelly about the Dexter's.
He said there's only one concernhe had about a new
administrative staff. It was more about adjusting to
(20:38):
life here on the station insteadof anything directed towards us.
So we've seen good there too. OK, good.
And your beakus. That's my next stop.
Going to be a bit more difficultto judge their credibility.
And then we have Kendra and she looks in on everything over
there, but she's only in the Dark Sector lab.
That leaves Ice Cube, Mapo, and Arrow labs.
(20:58):
I need to dress separately. I could ask Joe back, but for as
much as he may know, he is stillAtlas, so I can't trust him for.
Well, I'll tell you Bass, Carl'sa good man.
But out there in the head, maybe.
Definitely. OK, definitely.
But I think out of all the headless crew, he'd be the one I
(21:18):
trust the most. How's about the new Doctor
Shepard? Delahan?
Nope, I trust him the least. Really.
And why is that? Well look, there isn't anything
specific that I can put my finger on.
It's just it's this feeling I got in the back of my head.
Feeling huh? You mean that Shining?
(21:40):
That ain't funny, Bass. You know how I feel about that
movie. I saw it once and I'll never
watch on the Kubrick movie ever again.
Scamming deserve better than an axe in his back 2 seconds in.
Damn. OK buddy, I'm just teasing.
Ain't no shining more like. Like I said, just a feeling.
But he's not fully on the up andup.
(22:01):
Well if it wasn't for the fact we found out he is going to
Atlas I'd be nervous about him as a scientist in ice cube lab
too. But think about it, I've only
heard of security like they haveon Atlas being president.
Only the country's most secretive sites.
You know, real Area 51 super secret measures now before they
let anybody inside to work. You can bet they're getting
(22:22):
second, third, and 4th degree and beyond question.
Yeah, I suppose you're right. Look, I'm not saying he's a good
person, Steve, or that he can befully trusted.
And hell, I've only had two or three words with him since he
arrived and that's really not enough to feel him out.
But I seriously doubt he's here for anything other than work in
(22:43):
an ice cube neutrino lab and with Atlas.
But you're still going to keep an eye on them, right?
Oh, 100%. Yeah.
What the hell, Reggie, You have got to be more careful with your
operating forklift. Everybody OK?
Good. Damn it.
Now we're going to be even further behind schedule.
Jesus, How are we going to deal with, oh, him right here, chief.
(23:05):
Working as fast as I can. No, I know you are.
Jesus. You know what, man?
You are hours behind schedule. I got loaders making all kinds
of rookie mistakes. We got no logistics lead to keep
tally no more. How would you handle this?
Jesus. Well, with everything I just
heard, I'd just go get a bite toeat.
(23:25):
Always easier to work out a problem on a full stomach.
Bite to eat. You know what?
That that ain't bad. Jesus.
Look, I don't want everybody to suit up and head up to the
galley and then head back. But now we can have some food
brought down here that wouldn't put us any further behind.
I'll just call ahead and Miss Alice set up a quick catering
order and Sue's. Do me a favor.
(23:47):
Grab a couple guys, head upstairs and grab the stuff.
And we live down here. You will have us a working
lunch. Yeah, I can help you out.
No problem. Thank you.
Hey, Lawman. What is Miss Alice?
Who wants to do burgers and dogs?
Oh, and I think she also has grilled salmon and fresh baked
bread. So.
(24:10):
So what you're telling me is I just told Jesus to go up and
come back and hand out loaves ofbread and fishes to the crab
Dang load? That is a good one.
Got me again. Hey buddy, you thought about it
anymore what we talked about last night, me assigning all the
extra firearms? No, I did not consider any
(24:31):
further because I said no, I wasn't comfortable with that.
And my answer hasn't changed. I ain't handling no firearm.
Look, all I'm saying is, if something does go South over the
winter, I'd be a lot more comfortable if I knew you were
going to be the backup when I call for it.
I heard that last night, and I still appreciate it, and I'm
taking the compliment. Thank you.
But I don't want to ever have a gun in my hand again.
(24:53):
Size. I have an even better weapon.
Zeke, your faith isn't going to stop and end the situation.
Pass. My answer is no, it ain't
happening. Long night.
I'm not touching a gun ever again.
Now you're my boy. You're my best friend.
I'm going to ask you just to respect that decision.
(25:16):
You know, I'll respect you, understand it myself.
But no, you're right. And the last thing I want to do
is make you uncomfortable or puta firearm in the hands of
somebody that's not ready for it.
So OK, I'll stop asking. Listen, I've taken up enough
your time down here, and I need to go check with Kendra and then
oversee the loading of Wolford onto the plane off the station.
(25:39):
Zeke, are you still good? We'll always be good.
Lol man, you go do what means weget done.
I'm going to go watch Jesus feedthe crowd since I didn't get to
see the original happen. OK, Catch you for dinner later,
buddy. Later.
Keenan, come here. Come here.
(26:10):
Keep the IV stable and fusion pumps locked down.
I don't like how that ventilatorand oxygen cylinders are seated.
I want them strapped down better.
Let's get him set up for moving.I want to see his chart from the
last 24 hours. I'm not signing off on moving
him unless I like what I see first.
How's he looking Doc? It still looks like you shot
him. Deputy couldn't have been helped
given the situation. Doc, you still on schedule for
(26:32):
transport in 1900? All right, great BP all
unchanged. We have a bit of a battle with
sepsis, but that seems to have been resolved.
No more issues with post op infections so he has that going
for him. You still transporting with him
leaving the station for good? Yes, indeed, paperwork is all
taken care of. I've made an offer on a house in
(26:55):
Pacific Palisades which was accepted, and I'm taking six
months off before reporting to my new assignment at UCLA Santa
Monica to play every course on my wish list, starting with the
Riviera Country Club. OK, chart looks good.
Doctor Chow, please take a freshset of vitals before we begin
moving him. Francis, please radio out to the
C130 and make sure they're set to receive him and the station
(27:20):
who offloaded these supplies. They're not being stored.
You know what? It's not my problem any longer.
Somebody please make sure DoctorTim's aware of this.
She's chief of medicine now. The station.
Yes, Deputy Marshall. I'm leaving for good.
Seven years is more than enough time spent down in Antarctica.
(27:41):
OK, let's move him carefully to transport Gurney or Deputy or
that backboard handle under him,please.
Thank you. And 321.
OK, perfect. People, lock him down.
And thank you. Well, I must admit it's going to
be different without you here onthe station.
You mean people stop trying to kill you every three months so
you'll actually listen to your chief of medicine and do what
(28:03):
they tell you to do? You'll actually show up to your
scheduled medical follow up on appointments without somebody
having to drag you in? Oh no, no, I I figured that part
would still be more or less the same.
Just wouldn't have the same fun dodging as I do with you.
Well, now you have to deal with the hot Irish temper of a woman
who doesn't take kindly to people on station.
Missing appointments there, Deputy.
(28:24):
I wish you all the luck with that one, son.
Trust me, you are going to need it.
What's the latest with Wolford'scondition?
I'm sorry, Deputy Marshall. You know the drill.
I'm not able to go into specifics of the patient to
anybody other than the immediatefamily.
And that holds true even with law enforcement.
All I can say is that it's looking favorable.
He'll make it to Christchurch where they have an excellent
(28:45):
trauma ward and we'll be able togive him the treatment we lack
here. One of my special deputies, Bill
Culligan, is here to formally take possession of the prisoner
patient. Both.
If he was conscious, I'd be heading down with you.
The formal transfer with him still in a coma, it won't be
necessary. We have a cargo plane and
doctors from Christchurch all said to give him a check and
then move him to New Zealand. All the taxpayers nickel.
(29:08):
Oh, don't worry about transporting him safely, Deputy.
I hear Agent Fowler will be accompanying us.
What? Not that I expect Mr. Wolford to
exit his coma in route, but should that happen, we can
sedate him. He's strapped down fairly well
for the ride And I'm sure, like you, she'll be more than happy
to put more bullets in. Now I think I should be going on
the transport, Deputy. Myself and everybody from
(29:30):
medical except Catherine and twowinner over nurses are going
with Mr. Wolford. We have the medical staff at
McMurdo along with the New Zealand contingent there to
oversee as well. She won't pull anything.
You don't know her like I do. Be there as it may, you're
perfectly fine to stay here. In fact, given that you're
overdue to have somebody try to kill you again, I prefer you do
(29:51):
remain here, quite honestly. Do you know what it is she's
picking up? No, and honestly, I wasn't
interested enough to ask if it do that yourself.
She wouldn't tell me regardless.Whatever it is.
OK, people, he's ready to go. Wrap that thermal blanket around
him before we get to the airlock.
And then I want Zeke's DeWalt tohelp us get him down the
external stairs. Deputy Marshall, it's been
(30:14):
eventful being your doctor this past year and a half.
Listen, do an old man of favor and stop almost getting killed,
huh? The amount of paper we have to
fill out each time is ridiculous.
Take care, Doc. I still hate you.
And it's always music to my ears.
All right, let's wheel them out.Doctor temps.
(30:36):
Deputy Marshall. You ready for all this?
Being the chief of medicine, I assure you, Deputy, I have all
the appropriate training and have graduated all my schools
with the high. Marks I have no doubt in your
qualifications, Dr. I'm talking about being the head physician.
It's a huge responsibility. You'll be the one calling all
the medical shots going forward.I'm ready for the
(30:58):
responsibility, Deputy, although, if you don't mind me
saying, you seem to have something weighing on your mind.
Anything you want to get off your chest?
We're heading into the winter months.
Things can get a bit hectic during this time.
I've spent 2 winter overs on station deputy.
I still suspect there's something else bothering you.
(31:21):
There may be trouble heading ourway.
A great deal of trouble is goingto push the medical team to its
limit. You care to elaborate?
That sounds serious. Another time.
Sorry, doctor, I don't mean to just sorry.
Deputy, sometimes when you worryabout something, you worry over
(31:45):
something that may never happen,so then you worry over nothing.
If something should happen, worrying about it beforehand
just double S that worry. So maybe you should try relaxing
some. Bass suge.
Oh my Lord y'all need to get to a station phone and pick up line
(32:06):
5 now. Super urgent and I checked it
ain't no prank call. Double time deputy.
Thank you. Feel free to use the phone in my
office, my office, my office. I'll take some time getting used
to. Thank you, Doctor.
(32:37):
Supervisory Deputy Marshall Marlow, please.
Hold for the president. You're connected, Mr. President.
Deputy Marshall. Bass Marlowe.
Yes, Sir, Mr. President Marlowe here.
Excellent. I wanted to call you myself to
give you the good news. Good news, Sir.
Great. News, son, I have to recent
events here in the States. I'm sure you become familiar
(32:58):
with the enhanced security and safety measures my
administration has enacted for our nation's safety.
Yes, Sir, I'm familiar. Well.
With events also taking place down your way, the drug pipeline
interdiction, the fugitive from Albania being discovered, the
unfortunate incident with the foreign delegation and Senator
Buxton, well, it's more or less highlighted that the United
(33:19):
States needs a more meaningful and formal presence on the
continent. In addition to nominating
several replacement US Marshals I had removed from the DOJ, I've
decided the works being conducted in Antarctica worn a
full time. US Marshall to be assigned.
I've already notified US Director Davis and your own
Marshall Murphy to inform them. Pardon me, Mr. President, but
(33:41):
are you saying. Sent my nomination for you to
fill the slide as the First United States Marshall to be
assigned. To Antarctica, Mr. President,
I'm honored to say the least. But, and forgive me for asking,
but does the Antarctica Peace Treaty you let me worry?
About all that, Sun. Now my people will be getting in
touch with you to run you through the Senate confirmation
process. It's a pain in the ass,
(34:03):
especially given all the politics.
You should suspect some hardliners to really give you
the old 1-2 punch. But with my team, I'm sure this
will be a nomination to remember.
Thank you, Mr. President. Sorry this has to be cut short
son. They're telling me I'm needed
The West Wing for some meeting. You keep on doing a bang up job
and Sally and my chief of staff's team will be in contact
(34:26):
in the next 72 hours. Congratulations, Marshall
Marlow. Thank you, Mr. President.
Fuck, it's about to get a whole bunch worse.

Today is February 10th, 2023 andis currently O 650 hours.
Reveille was 20 minutes ago. Got my morning shower in a cup
of black coffee and ready to start the day from once in what
I think maybe my entire career as a United States Marshall.
I have no investigations ongoingbut officially anyway.
(01:07):
Always something going on aroundhere, but I shouldn't say
anything until there is officially something to say.
The station is preparing for theupcoming winter season, which
begins next week. The final staff rotation is
underway and it's looking like we'll have 53 people on station
this 1 / 25 hour lifers and 28 new for winter.
Each and every one of these new people ride has had an extensive
(01:30):
background check performed and more than a few were turned away
as there was some level of abnormality during the reviews.
NSF, the OPP who's down with theOPP, and the DOJ have been extra
thorough. We've had enough people with
forged credentials come through the station already.
We're doubling down with the prechecks.
Of course, everything has to go through Miss Chipperfield and HR
(01:51):
to ensure it was above board. And she decided she's going to
spend her winter back in the States, so with Mom not in the
house, we can actually let her hair down a bit after she's
gone. I contemplated retaking my old
office back, but I've grown fondof the one along the
administration hall already. Although I have no formal
(02:13):
pressing investigation, we do have various items to cover.
Special Deputy Culligan arrived last night to escort Wilford
back to McMurdo and then over toUS Marshals, who will pick him
up and secure him in Christchurch.
Getting back to Mud Town from Christchurch will still be
possible for several weeks aftertravel.
Two months this guy has shut down.
Special Deputy Culligan arrived last night to escort Wilford
(02:33):
back to McMurdo and then over toUS Marshals who will pick him up
in Secureman, Christchurch. Getting back to Mud Town from
Christchurch will still be possible for several weeks after
travel to the Munson. Scott is shut down, so you'll
still be able to get back in time to hunger.
Down Palmer's already secured now for the winter with only 12
individuals remaining on station.
Special Deputy Court relayed there has been no additional
(02:55):
individuals on station suspectedof being holes.
In addition, the tourist season has wound down so no more day
trippers. His hair Wilfred is still in a
coma and his condition hasn't changed.
They're already prepping a room for him in Christchurch so he
can be monitored and try to accelerate his healing process.
It was also something of a surprise to hear that Doctor
(03:17):
Julian Ambrose will be leaving us.
He decided to go back to privatepractice in the States.
I mentioned working down Antarctica for seven years was
more than he had ever thought hewould stay.
He's taken off 6 months before he goes back to work so we can
tour all the prestigious golf courses in the US first.
Which leaves Doctor Tim's for the winner, who has also been
(03:38):
named head physician for the station.
Had a nine tails and all. You know what I should have
been. What's she and Fred and Joy?
All right, anyway, the station population is beginning to thin
out now, only 80 or so remaining, having flashbacks to
returning after the crash and just how isolated everything
(04:00):
seemed. Now, however, that isolation
will be providing us a bit of reprieve against any new
attempts being made to come after us.
Last item of note, prior to their departure, Zeke had his
team search the station top to bottom, looking for anything out
of the ordinary, anything that would have been planted as a
surprise. And we couldn't get into the
(04:21):
Atlas areas, of course, nor the locked up electrical panel room.
But after four days, everybody came back with nothing out of
the usual having been cited. I'm still nervous about the
decision. The team here made the decision
remain on station despite the threat from Josh Nicholson,
whomever it is he's representing.
None of them have been trained to be able to help defend the
(04:43):
station in the event of somebodycoming in to do harm.
My responsibility to do my job and keep everybody safe is more
than I envision having to undertake.
I debated asking for additional deputies from Marshall Murphy,
but with the winter approaching,it's a decision I won't need to
make for another eight months orso.
All right, time to get the day started.
(05:04):
Bass Marlow, Supervisor, US Deputy Marshall.
Update completed February 10th, 2023 and it's O 700.
Good morning y'all. I hope all my pulleys are doing
(05:24):
wonderful this morning. Today is February 10th and it's
0900 on the tick. This is Miss Cheryl Lynn here
with your South Pole daily announcements.
All departing pulleys are reminded to stop by operations
and check with Mr. Kelly to determine which final transports
(05:45):
y'all will be on. It's always a sad time to see so
many of my little angels leavingthe station.
Each and everyone of you should be prouder than a Mama dog
showing off her cute new puppies.
OK y'all, just give me a minute here.
I swore I wasn't going to have another come apart this morning.
(06:07):
Oh, my little chickens fly in the coop.
I mean, if chickens could fly duck ones, maybe that's it.
Little cute duckies with the furcoming off and being replaced
with big bird feathers. I'm going to do it to myself.
Now. Let me just hit this tape deck
so we can move on. I'm OK if I could get it over
(06:34):
Mr. June losing his sobriety every five days.
I can weather this. All right.
Where was I? Oh, right, since our last
logistics leader was a low down snake in the grass Boston
Yankees. Bye.
Mr. Kelly will be interviewing for a replacement position
(06:58):
starting today from 1100 to 1400in his office.
You need to have a good head formath, the ability to keep really
good records, and our preferenceis that you ain't secretly
working for a clandestine and subversive U.S. government
organization. Or I guess really any government
(07:18):
organization. Really, Any who y'all go jar
with Thomas If and you're interested, all cargo teams are
reminded that supplies and finaldrop offs from Christchurch are
behold inside the supply arch we're into.
Do not freeze huts by this time next week.
The last thing anybody wants is to have to wait for our sundries
(07:42):
to be warmed up to be usable. Most of y'all don't remember the
frozen bathroom paper conundrum of 2017 and those that do, we
ain't wanting to repeat that experience.
Beginning tomorrow evening and every Wednesday throughout the
winter season, Gladys will be hosting the pick up knitting
(08:06):
room. Oh Gladys, I know you didn't.
You did not try to start up another knitting room at the
craft room. We talked about this girl.
You ain't going to come down here and try to introduce me to
point Y'all. Just ignore that announcement.
Seems Gladys got back into the private sash of Kentucky mash
(08:29):
that was supposed to be spent over to Reno Dave's Bar.
Come on now, Gladys, you're so low with this you could crawl
under a snake's belly. Anywho, today for breakfast,
lunch, Lady Alice is whipping upsome breakfast burritos.
Eggs made any old way you want them.
(08:50):
Waffles and griddle cakes. For lunch.
She's got burgers, hot dogs, grilled salmon and fresh baked
bread. Oh, it's going to be a regular
old tailgate party down in the galley.
Just don't tell Mister Chu we are the suds or hooch is at For
supper we'll be having bacon wrapped chicken filet Ming in
(09:12):
spaghetti with meat red sauce orfor our vegetarian squash salad
or grilled cheese sandwiches with cream of mushroom soup.
Alice is also taking requests for meals to make during the
winter season, so get those requests in soup Next week.
(09:33):
Our resident mental health specialist Doctor Sidney Brimmer
will be returning to set up his shop and make sure we all
weather the winter storms without any problems this coming
season. Just like last season, all
police who are renter over and will be required to visit our
doctor at least twice a month. For your own good health and not
getting too worked up must be a better way of saying that.
(09:59):
Coach Glenn would like to thank all his Ice Picks summer
volleyball team for a wonderful season and a down to the wire
finish against the McMurdo Mud Dogs for the Antarctica
Championship three years in a row.
After some well deserved time off, Coach Glenn and team
captain Fred Ferguson will beginscouting talent for the winter
(10:20):
season intramural in preparationfor the 2023 Summer Season Open.
Lastly, an announcement and invitation for All Winter Owen
to join us in the big gym at 7:00 PM this time next week for
the traditional double feature of The Thing and The Shining
(10:42):
projected up on the big screen. All the Waltz will be free to
attend as our Chief of Engineering Zeke has volunteered
to take the emergency shift in the Arches that night.
So there you go. You take Care now, my polis.
Let's get all their chores takencare of before we settle in for
(11:02):
the winter. You have a wonderful and blessed
day. Except you, Gladys.
Oh. Oh, that's what you get.
Thank you. Recording has commenced of the
(11:38):
next way we carried. All right, doctors, I'm here.
What's this exciting news you have?
Oh, this, This is the most impressive work we've achieved,
Agent Father. Most impressive, Even if the
horns were Tooting our own. But that said a Tutu.
Can somebody please just tell mewhat the urgency is?
(11:59):
The current aspects of the challenge we've been facing are
twofold. The first, as you're aware, is
the location of the gravimetric signature for the station as it
bounces around the 20 square mile radius of the central point
where that station will disappear in 2057, so you can
pinpoint it. We believe we're only days away.
(12:19):
Not just being able to locate it, but we'll be able to
forecast where she'll appear days before she continues
jumping within all space if we're right, which we are.
If we're right, we'll be able topredict exactly where the
station will appear during Event4.
Thanks in no small measure to the instrumentation I have
prepared and shipped from Papoose Mountain Beauregard
(12:42):
Lowing Research Facility. Early testing with it exceeding
our initial estimates using technology refined by our
corporate benefactors as we've obtained 3 Lisa units.
Oh yes, my apologies, Agent Fowler.
That stands for Laser Inferometer Space antenna housed
on portable wheeled units that rotate around the station in a
(13:03):
triangular formation, beaming lasers at one another as a
gravitation waves formed by the station in null space pass
through the beams. The units will detect the edges
of the triangle being affected. It's detection technology which
we at Beauregard Lowing have nowperfected far more in advance
(13:24):
than the Magnus 100 prototype detector Fermi Lab is building
in the Bativa Labs. Pedestrian hobbyists.
We have the units mounted on theremote vehicles, and they've
completed their 100th circuit around the station.
The data they produce in conjunction with the theories
provided by Doctor Dellum are not just extremely promising,
they're able to predict the exact location of the next wave
(13:47):
being generated. It's been right the last five
times. Translation, Gemma, please.
All right. OK.
So remember a few weeks back when we said we were hoping to
get the appearance location for event forward down to roughly 2
square miles from 20? Yes, confidence is high.
(14:10):
We can reduce that appearance window now on event 4 to one
quarter square mile when RobertaBondar Re emerges, we can set up
just outside that area and be onstation in less than 30 minutes.
Impressive. Little Bird director Dantes will
be very pleased. You said before that the
challenges were twofold though, so that's the first.
(14:33):
What's the second? Well, this is where Doctor Jovak
and his interesting theory comesin.
After we all reviewed his findings.
Even I must admit it was impressive.
Oh yeah, You know, that's the first time, the very first time
you've ever paid me a compliment, Lawrence.
(14:54):
About damn time. It all comes down to a
stabilization of the displaced environment, tethering it to our
space, not theirs. And time, as opposed to having
it slip back into null space at the apogee of the 96 hour
rotation, forces her back. Oh well, that that glossy eyed
(15:16):
look that you're giving me tellsme I I need to explain further,
perhaps in laywoman terms. Doctor Jovak.
What? What?
Did you just say? Dear HR, Miss Chipperfield told
me that layman was a sexist term.
I'm endeavouring to be more accommodating.
(15:38):
The judges would also accepted layperson, but we'll put that
all on a gift certificate. Pat OK, so to think of this
event like, oh, I like our planet Earth, the event rotates
on an axis itself, just like Earth and also just like our
planet, it rotates around its own giant gravitational force we
(15:58):
call soul. That's soul, not soul.
God, I love that Bobby Oldenkirk, him and David Cross
on Mr. Show. Anyway, the station that's the
Canadian station, the one with the motion and the Maple syrup
and stuff, not ours of course, is tethered to a gravitational
instability in space, which rotates around just like the
Earth in our solar system. Each year, actually every 375
(16:21):
days to be exact, the position of that station returns to more
or less the same exact point foronly 96 hours.
It's during that extended window, not the one you look
out, but the window in time, where the layer between our
space and null space is so thin,wafer thin that you'll be able
to pass through. After that, the intersection
closes. BAM, until the next event window
(16:42):
370 days later. The moving appearance point is
probably due to planetary wobbleon its axis along with some null
space factor. Right, right, I see not a
bleeding word coming out of yourgob told me any part of how to
grab the station. Granddad, please don't ever go
into teaching. Well, the key is to introduce
(17:05):
both, both gravimetric field enveloping the station
enveloping yeah, enveloping the station and to activate the just
as before. This envelope which envelops
will effectively tether the future station allow in the
pocket, not the one in your pants of null space to continue
(17:27):
on its orbit without it. And operating is the chain for
that anchor outcome. We keep the station in our space
and I retired to a sunny beach with beautiful wealthy widows,
retirees, limbos and margaritas.How low can you go?
Quite low I might say. OK, so we can get all this
(17:48):
sussed out then for event 4? Sadly, not everything, no.
All right, Johnny Ball, why don't you give it a whirl?
While we are more than confidentwe can locate the station,
stabilizing it will require muchmore data.
Presently, the combined consensus here is that we need
to install additional sensor units inside this station and
(18:10):
map its patterns for one more year after event 4.
If we can get the data obtained,we should be able to make a grab
during event 5. Doctor Wainwright.
I'm in agreement, yes. All right, then I'll notify
Director Dante's in the next scientific batch upload in the
morning. Given these updates, I predict
(18:31):
she'll be in less of a crabby mood than normal.
All right, everyone speaking is taking up enough of our time.
Let's get back to actual work, shall we?
All right, let's go, people. They ain't paying us by the
(18:52):
hour. Let's go.
Head them out. Go, go, go.
Danny, will you please show the new crew how to stack crates on
the shelves? I don't want the same mess we
had last minute. I want a nice clean dispersal
this time. Let's get it done right people?
Oh, hey, not the best time. Lol.
Man, he's still several hours behind schedule.
I lay down to be fully secure for winter and if we don't pick
(19:14):
up then few hours, it'll be double shift till we do.
You feel me, people? Look, I'm sorry.
I know this is your busy week, buddy.
I won't keep you for long, I promise.
Yeah. All right, Dan, hold up a
second. What the hell you doing, Keenan?
I know you're not done unloading, huh?
Damn, this. He is done in record time, too.
(19:35):
I swear that kid is gunning for my job.
Well, you want me young blood? You want a cookie?
So you did your job once. Out my boot up your ass.
Go help lies and Jesus. Hey, Soos with their unloading.
Damn. What is making me so proud?
Yeah, maybe you should tell him that every once in a while.
Sorry, I didn't hear that. What were you talking about?
(19:57):
I'm just checking with everybodywho has new staff under them and
will be wintering over with us making sure there's nothing
giving them concern. I figured better deal that now
while we still have this transport back to the US versus
after winter when all flights are grounded, man.
No, nothing like that man. I reviewed all the files with
Dwell's coming in and had Miss Chipper Field triple check the
(20:18):
background. So anything not smelling good
and there weren't nothing. And they know the trades
answered all my questions correctly.
There's nothing that stood out. That's good.
I'm actually, it's great. It's the best news I've heard so
far today. How about the others?
I spoke to Mr. Kelly about the Dexter's.
He said there's only one concernhe had about a new
administrative staff. It was more about adjusting to
(20:38):
life here on the station insteadof anything directed towards us.
So we've seen good there too. OK, good.
And your beakus. That's my next stop.
Going to be a bit more difficultto judge their credibility.
And then we have Kendra and she looks in on everything over
there, but she's only in the Dark Sector lab.
That leaves Ice Cube, Mapo, and Arrow labs.
(20:58):
I need to dress separately. I could ask Joe back, but for as
much as he may know, he is stillAtlas, so I can't trust him for.
Well, I'll tell you Bass, Carl'sa good man.
But out there in the head, maybe.
Definitely. OK, definitely.
But I think out of all the headless crew, he'd be the one I
(21:18):
trust the most. How's about the new Doctor
Shepard? Delahan?
Nope, I trust him the least. Really.
And why is that? Well look, there isn't anything
specific that I can put my finger on.
It's just it's this feeling I got in the back of my head.
Feeling huh? You mean that Shining?
(21:40):
That ain't funny, Bass. You know how I feel about that
movie. I saw it once and I'll never
watch on the Kubrick movie ever again.
Scamming deserve better than an axe in his back 2 seconds in.
Damn. OK buddy, I'm just teasing.
Ain't no shining more like. Like I said, just a feeling.
But he's not fully on the up andup.
(22:01):
Well if it wasn't for the fact we found out he is going to
Atlas I'd be nervous about him as a scientist in ice cube lab
too. But think about it, I've only
heard of security like they haveon Atlas being president.
Only the country's most secretive sites.
You know, real Area 51 super secret measures now before they
let anybody inside to work. You can bet they're getting
(22:22):
second, third, and 4th degree and beyond question.
Yeah, I suppose you're right. Look, I'm not saying he's a good
person, Steve, or that he can befully trusted.
And hell, I've only had two or three words with him since he
arrived and that's really not enough to feel him out.
But I seriously doubt he's here for anything other than work in
(22:43):
an ice cube neutrino lab and with Atlas.
But you're still going to keep an eye on them, right?
Oh, 100%. Yeah.
What the hell, Reggie, You have got to be more careful with your
operating forklift. Everybody OK?
Good. Damn it.
Now we're going to be even further behind schedule.
Jesus, How are we going to deal with, oh, him right here, chief.
(23:05):
Working as fast as I can. No, I know you are.
Jesus. You know what, man?
You are hours behind schedule. I got loaders making all kinds
of rookie mistakes. We got no logistics lead to keep
tally no more. How would you handle this?
Jesus. Well, with everything I just
heard, I'd just go get a bite toeat.
(23:25):
Always easier to work out a problem on a full stomach.
Bite to eat. You know what?
That that ain't bad. Jesus.
Look, I don't want everybody to suit up and head up to the
galley and then head back. But now we can have some food
brought down here that wouldn't put us any further behind.
I'll just call ahead and Miss Alice set up a quick catering
order and Sue's. Do me a favor.
(23:47):
Grab a couple guys, head upstairs and grab the stuff.
And we live down here. You will have us a working
lunch. Yeah, I can help you out.
No problem. Thank you.
Hey, Lawman. What is Miss Alice?
Who wants to do burgers and dogs?
Oh, and I think she also has grilled salmon and fresh baked
bread. So.
(24:10):
So what you're telling me is I just told Jesus to go up and
come back and hand out loaves ofbread and fishes to the crab
Dang load? That is a good one.
Got me again. Hey buddy, you thought about it
anymore what we talked about last night, me assigning all the
extra firearms? No, I did not consider any
(24:31):
further because I said no, I wasn't comfortable with that.
And my answer hasn't changed. I ain't handling no firearm.
Look, all I'm saying is, if something does go South over the
winter, I'd be a lot more comfortable if I knew you were
going to be the backup when I call for it.
I heard that last night, and I still appreciate it, and I'm
taking the compliment. Thank you.
But I don't want to ever have a gun in my hand again.
(24:53):
Size. I have an even better weapon.
Zeke, your faith isn't going to stop and end the situation.
Pass. My answer is no, it ain't
happening. Long night.
I'm not touching a gun ever again.
Now you're my boy. You're my best friend.
I'm going to ask you just to respect that decision.
(25:16):
You know, I'll respect you, understand it myself.
But no, you're right. And the last thing I want to do
is make you uncomfortable or puta firearm in the hands of
somebody that's not ready for it.
So OK, I'll stop asking. Listen, I've taken up enough
your time down here, and I need to go check with Kendra and then
oversee the loading of Wolford onto the plane off the station.
(25:39):
Zeke, are you still good? We'll always be good.
Lol man, you go do what means weget done.
I'm going to go watch Jesus feedthe crowd since I didn't get to
see the original happen. OK, Catch you for dinner later,
buddy. Later.
Keenan, come here. Come here.
(26:10):
Keep the IV stable and fusion pumps locked down.
I don't like how that ventilatorand oxygen cylinders are seated.
I want them strapped down better.
Let's get him set up for moving.I want to see his chart from the
last 24 hours. I'm not signing off on moving
him unless I like what I see first.
How's he looking Doc? It still looks like you shot
him. Deputy couldn't have been helped
given the situation. Doc, you still on schedule for
(26:32):
transport in 1900? All right, great BP all
unchanged. We have a bit of a battle with
sepsis, but that seems to have been resolved.
No more issues with post op infections so he has that going
for him. You still transporting with him
leaving the station for good? Yes, indeed, paperwork is all
taken care of. I've made an offer on a house in
(26:55):
Pacific Palisades which was accepted, and I'm taking six
months off before reporting to my new assignment at UCLA Santa
Monica to play every course on my wish list, starting with the
Riviera Country Club. OK, chart looks good.
Doctor Chow, please take a freshset of vitals before we begin
moving him. Francis, please radio out to the
C130 and make sure they're set to receive him and the station
(27:20):
who offloaded these supplies. They're not being stored.
You know what? It's not my problem any longer.
Somebody please make sure DoctorTim's aware of this.
She's chief of medicine now. The station.
Yes, Deputy Marshall. I'm leaving for good.
Seven years is more than enough time spent down in Antarctica.
(27:41):
OK, let's move him carefully to transport Gurney or Deputy or
that backboard handle under him,please.
Thank you. And 321.
OK, perfect. People, lock him down.
And thank you. Well, I must admit it's going to
be different without you here onthe station.
You mean people stop trying to kill you every three months so
you'll actually listen to your chief of medicine and do what
(28:03):
they tell you to do? You'll actually show up to your
scheduled medical follow up on appointments without somebody
having to drag you in? Oh no, no, I I figured that part
would still be more or less the same.
Just wouldn't have the same fun dodging as I do with you.
Well, now you have to deal with the hot Irish temper of a woman
who doesn't take kindly to people on station.
Missing appointments there, Deputy.
(28:24):
I wish you all the luck with that one, son.
Trust me, you are going to need it.
What's the latest with Wolford'scondition?
I'm sorry, Deputy Marshall. You know the drill.
I'm not able to go into specifics of the patient to
anybody other than the immediatefamily.
And that holds true even with law enforcement.
All I can say is that it's looking favorable.
He'll make it to Christchurch where they have an excellent
(28:45):
trauma ward and we'll be able togive him the treatment we lack
here. One of my special deputies, Bill
Culligan, is here to formally take possession of the prisoner
patient. Both.
If he was conscious, I'd be heading down with you.
The formal transfer with him still in a coma, it won't be
necessary. We have a cargo plane and
doctors from Christchurch all said to give him a check and
then move him to New Zealand. All the taxpayers nickel.
(29:08):
Oh, don't worry about transporting him safely, Deputy.
I hear Agent Fowler will be accompanying us.
What? Not that I expect Mr. Wolford to
exit his coma in route, but should that happen, we can
sedate him. He's strapped down fairly well
for the ride And I'm sure, like you, she'll be more than happy
to put more bullets in. Now I think I should be going on
the transport, Deputy. Myself and everybody from
(29:30):
medical except Catherine and twowinner over nurses are going
with Mr. Wolford. We have the medical staff at
McMurdo along with the New Zealand contingent there to
oversee as well. She won't pull anything.
You don't know her like I do. Be there as it may, you're
perfectly fine to stay here. In fact, given that you're
overdue to have somebody try to kill you again, I prefer you do
(29:51):
remain here, quite honestly. Do you know what it is she's
picking up? No, and honestly, I wasn't
interested enough to ask if it do that yourself.
She wouldn't tell me regardless.Whatever it is.
OK, people, he's ready to go. Wrap that thermal blanket around
him before we get to the airlock.
And then I want Zeke's DeWalt tohelp us get him down the
external stairs. Deputy Marshall, it's been
(30:14):
eventful being your doctor this past year and a half.
Listen, do an old man of favor and stop almost getting killed,
huh? The amount of paper we have to
fill out each time is ridiculous.
Take care, Doc. I still hate you.
And it's always music to my ears.
All right, let's wheel them out.Doctor temps.
(30:36):
Deputy Marshall. You ready for all this?
Being the chief of medicine, I assure you, Deputy, I have all
the appropriate training and have graduated all my schools
with the high. Marks I have no doubt in your
qualifications, Dr. I'm talking about being the head physician.
It's a huge responsibility. You'll be the one calling all
the medical shots going forward.I'm ready for the
(30:58):
responsibility, Deputy, although, if you don't mind me
saying, you seem to have something weighing on your mind.
Anything you want to get off your chest?
We're heading into the winter months.
Things can get a bit hectic during this time.
I've spent 2 winter overs on station deputy.
I still suspect there's something else bothering you.
(31:21):
There may be trouble heading ourway.
A great deal of trouble is goingto push the medical team to its
limit. You care to elaborate?
That sounds serious. Another time.
Sorry, doctor, I don't mean to just sorry.
Deputy, sometimes when you worryabout something, you worry over
(31:45):
something that may never happen,so then you worry over nothing.
If something should happen, worrying about it beforehand
just double S that worry. So maybe you should try relaxing
some. Bass suge.
Oh my Lord y'all need to get to a station phone and pick up line
(32:06):
5 now. Super urgent and I checked it
ain't no prank call. Double time deputy.
Thank you. Feel free to use the phone in my
office, my office, my office. I'll take some time getting used
to. Thank you, Doctor.
(32:37):
Supervisory Deputy Marshall Marlow, please.
Hold for the president. You're connected, Mr. President.
Deputy Marshall. Bass Marlowe.
Yes, Sir, Mr. President Marlowe here.
Excellent. I wanted to call you myself to
give you the good news. Good news, Sir.
Great. News, son, I have to recent
events here in the States. I'm sure you become familiar
(32:58):
with the enhanced security and safety measures my
administration has enacted for our nation's safety.
Yes, Sir, I'm familiar. Well.
With events also taking place down your way, the drug pipeline
interdiction, the fugitive from Albania being discovered, the
unfortunate incident with the foreign delegation and Senator
Buxton, well, it's more or less highlighted that the United
(33:19):
States needs a more meaningful and formal presence on the
continent. In addition to nominating
several replacement US Marshals I had removed from the DOJ, I've
decided the works being conducted in Antarctica worn a
full time. US Marshall to be assigned.
I've already notified US Director Davis and your own
Marshall Murphy to inform them. Pardon me, Mr. President, but
(33:41):
are you saying. Sent my nomination for you to
fill the slide as the First United States Marshall to be
assigned. To Antarctica, Mr. President,
I'm honored to say the least. But, and forgive me for asking,
but does the Antarctica Peace Treaty you let me worry?
About all that, Sun. Now my people will be getting in
touch with you to run you through the Senate confirmation
process. It's a pain in the ass,
(34:03):
especially given all the politics.
You should suspect some hardliners to really give you
the old 1-2 punch. But with my team, I'm sure this
will be a nomination to remember.
Thank you, Mr. President. Sorry this has to be cut short
son. They're telling me I'm needed
The West Wing for some meeting. You keep on doing a bang up job
and Sally and my chief of staff's team will be in contact
(34:26):
in the next 72 hours. Congratulations, Marshall
Marlow. Thank you, Mr. President.
Fuck, it's about to get a whole bunch worse.
