 Yeah, but I grew up in a facility in Tucson, Arizona. They ran some tests on me, they gave me sororities. Oh, that's fun. One day, I thought, well, childhood, just like reading my own book. And I just thought about it really hard and then ended up hearing right now. Oh, oh my God. Yeah, okay, okay, okay. It's so human, do you know what you're saying? Yes? No, no, no, no, no. Fire, the wired machine over there. What? Excellent, excellent. Oh, no. I'm chilling. Yeah, Joe. You're looking very handsome. Why are you hiding that from us for an entire month? Because... It's funny. It is funny. It is funny. And also, you guys would ask way too many questions like people are doing today and that would waste time and I would just need to waste things. I'm doing the wasting time. Since you hadn't been coming out, apparently, you weren't able to expedite the process? I've been working on my redemption art and I actually think that it's quite good now and that could be the hero of the day, so it'll be fantastic. Everything's always about this art. Maybe think about the greater good and the others around you for one star. But do we really got a greater good? Yeah, greater good like punch and sharks. Yeah. Thank you. Thank you. There's greater things at stake here, man. There's got things to figure out. You've got to stop thinking about everything else when people have their own problems. People have their own concerns. But at what point does a single person's singular problems outweigh the entire humanity? But when does a singular person's problems possibly have the solution to everything we're trying to find? You know, if you stop thinking to me like a human and you thought of me more like a god, then I think that things would be a lot more difficult. Well, maybe if you had thought about us like a community rather than your independent contractors, we would have been able to help you out and get out of this place soon. Thank you for your feedback. Can we continue? Let's go. Take it up a face jar, buddy. So true, Bestie. Ah! Fantastic. Yes, we do. And like that, I need to find some humans here. I've got some. We've got to use some of them. I mean, we've all got some. I mean... Put a hair. A hair. Yeah. A hair. From who? I could take spit, but I feel like that's a no-no right now. Yeah. Yeah. All right, well, just do more. All right, good. Good, good, good. There you go. Can you grab that little magical machine? Yes, I do. Don't worry about it. I'm so sorry. I'm so sorry. Hello. Hello. Hello. Hello. Hey, man. Hello. What the fuck? Oh hello. We don't need to enter on you. We don't need to enter it on you. Nice meeting you. Nice. Oh, oh shit. We will see you soon. Let's go. Okay, alright, we will see you soon. So the current proposed theory was that any anomalies created by the Ikea would be kind of a cover-up in and of itself. It would try to blend in but not have a perfect story and so we were trying to screen for stories that with inconsistencies or vague ideas. That was pretty much my investigation. Um so the big one I was assigned to do was find like some specific memory not just like I mean I try to get to know everyone but kind of find a specific memory from before or just before you got into the Ikea. Everyone's checked out. One person I don't want to point fingers but I think we should use the little camera on them. Who is it? Hi Ren. I don't think we talked a lot. Whoa whoa whoa. It's a good idea. Anyway, let's watch it. What? It's a grenade. What are you making over there? It's just a simple mason jar. Mason jars sir. How are you able to scan her? What am I searching for slow? Check for mason jar. We have one scan left. Bad feelings about mason jars. Yeah. I started them all at the time. Okay I'm trying. What do you think what I do? This is your fault. It's your fault. Mason jar glass container. Bingo. When you use the whole physical objects to place no unusual properties however the owning entity may store concepts or ideas into the jar through a poorly understood process. So there's an idea inside that jar. That's where intelligence went. It's like a toy. She wanted to play with it. There's nothing wrong with that. Don't think so for the last time. But because you had an anomalous object on you, I don't know if my read was thorough and I don't have any other tape to check again. So Ren, you're in the clear now. What up mate? We're going to find more tape. He said that he used the last of it. Did you not? I had one last sample. Yeah we had one last sample. Can we turn the underwear back into tape? Back to work. Come on. Have you stubbed your toe yet? Awesome. I've been on in here. You'll get an opportunity to eventually. Don't worry about it. Do you even have like memories? Like before you were born? Like were those fabricated? I think I was a comforter and then I became a staff member. And so you don't remember me at all? Yeah. I was having a relationship at all. I remember I had the sense that there was somebody who made all of us and I guess that's you so that it kind of makes you my dad, right? Interesting. What do we think about this logic? I think it does follow, but I think you'll want to put in your thoughts of how you think about this. Come on, Daddy. Okay, yeah. I have been a father before. And I at one point in my life really wanted that to happen for me. But that was 130 years ago. So you saying that you want me to be your father, your daddy, that's a lot to hear right now. Would you want me to be there for you as your father if I were to make you human and we get out of here? How old are you? I don't think that's true. It might be. You were just born out of the ether one day here in this Ikea. It's been around for 10 years. I'm responsible for that again. Yeah. He's just a little guy. And I'm going to make you a real boy. You're going to make you a real boy? I guess. Yeah, I will. Let's do this. Let's do it. We're going to help you. You're going to be a real boy. I get it. I didn't have a pair on myself. I would have liked that. You got it. There you go. So that means that I can give that to you maybe. Maybe that's worth something. Yeah, I don't know. It's feeling fucking generous today. I said that I'd have a redemption arc and here we are. This is your fucking redemption mark, man. Fuck yeah, I am, baby. Thank you. Whoa. Let's go. All right. Here's what I'm going to need you to do. Yes. This thing is going to connect us. I will be a conductor with it. And you will be turning the dial one little thing until it's at the end. You can go at your own pace with it, but we're going to do a countdown together. Three, two, one, go. And when you say go, you can start. All right. Yeah, just one at a time? Yeah, one at a time. And this is going to hurt a little bit, okay? Okay. Just a little stay. You can take it. You got my pain tolerance like your daddy. All right. Three, two, one. Come on. You got this. You've dealt with wars. You're a fucker. I feel different. Do you feel different? I'm just going to do it. I'm going to hide the kite there. Yeah, yeah. Ever since I was three, I've had this voice in my head that sort of says like, get people out of there again or who don't belong there. It's not there. I don't get it. Put it in my voice. We did it. Oh, shit. Should we talk to the other? Should we talk to the researchers? Yeah, talk to the researchers. Like, where should I put the device? I can see the case. Count. Look out for yourself. Don't get yourself hurt. Where was it? It was at Sloan's desk. It was at Sloan's desk. Yeah, go check in with them. Sloan's not there at the moment, so go sneak it back. Sloan specifically, she has some thoughts about him. I'm just a resident here. Sloan. Thank you for listening. Site 42 studios and its staff are funded by viewers like you.
