WEBVTT - Ep6 | Mole Lair 0:00:06.440 --> 0:00:11.119 Introquest created by Michael Freiberg, a production of iHeartRadio and 0:00:11.240 --> 0:00:20.239 Astro Media. Listen with headphones for three D audio. The 0:00:20.320 --> 0:00:22.959 mo Layer should be right here under the baobab tree, 0:00:23.320 --> 0:00:25.960 fifty pieces south of the stone faced bowlders, sixty degrees 0:00:26.000 --> 0:00:28.280 from the shadow nest the dunes. There aligns the tree 0:00:28.320 --> 0:00:31.120 of life or the molayer looms. That's what the map says, 0:00:31.200 --> 0:00:33.440 right logo technically, but are we sure this is the 0:00:33.479 --> 0:00:38.360 right tree? Logo? Look around? This is the only tree 0:00:38.560 --> 0:00:41.159 and the only sign of life within a hundred miles. 0:00:41.320 --> 0:00:44.000 So where is it? It is a rather massive tree. 0:00:44.159 --> 0:00:46.840 It must be ancient. The Molaire should be here. Are 0:00:46.840 --> 0:00:52.360 we lost? Serious? So hungry? Serious need food? We're not 0:00:52.440 --> 0:00:56.279 lost either. We're just experiencing temporary navigational delays. Now if 0:00:56.320 --> 0:00:58.440 you give me a moment to recalculate our position on 0:00:58.480 --> 0:01:02.480 the map, Serious as track mole air We recover satellite 0:01:02.480 --> 0:01:06.320 dish already and now eat. Sure we needs coordinates and 0:01:06.360 --> 0:01:08.600 directions when you have growls and grunts to guide you. 0:01:08.760 --> 0:01:10.959 Maybe if Serious didn't smear the map with his grubby 0:01:10.959 --> 0:01:13.240 paws when he stole it, we wouldn't be in this predicament. Now, 0:01:14.440 --> 0:01:18.080 only reason we have map at all is because of 0:01:18.240 --> 0:01:21.679 serious grubby paws. So we are lost. The sun's gonna 0:01:21.680 --> 0:01:23.680 be setting soon. If we don't figure this out, there'll 0:01:23.720 --> 0:01:25.520 be no shadow left to guide us. You would both 0:01:25.560 --> 0:01:27.760 just quiet down and give me space to concentrate. I'll 0:01:27.800 --> 0:01:31.200 have this figured out before you get Yeah, logo, no, 0:01:31.440 --> 0:01:35.639 have good instinct lead us lost. Now we become food 0:01:35.680 --> 0:01:56.320 for scavengers and starving desert sands. Oh serious, what did 0:01:56.320 --> 0:02:02.200 you do? Serious? Tantrum caused the ground to give way. 0:02:02.440 --> 0:02:04.880 We appear to have fallen into an underground dirt chamber. 0:02:05.240 --> 0:02:07.800 No signs of mole life down here, however, we're surrounded 0:02:07.840 --> 0:02:17.120 by eggs as big as cyclops. High oversized eggs stacked 0:02:17.160 --> 0:02:22.359 in the shape of a pyramid. Curious, isn't it? See? Follow? Serious? 0:02:22.840 --> 0:02:29.120 He's like king m serious weight. I don't think these 0:02:29.160 --> 0:02:38.360 eggs are for eating. This must be a hats Oh 0:02:38.360 --> 0:02:41.560 we've found the mole layer all right. I didn't know 0:02:41.639 --> 0:02:49.320 moles came from eggs. You have a lot to learn. Serious. 0:02:49.639 --> 0:02:57.720 The baby mole thinks hereous father a serious papa. No, 0:02:59.160 --> 0:03:02.359 it's so thinking fleshy rather unsightly. An appearance if you 0:03:02.400 --> 0:03:08.079 asked me, and what's it doing? Now? Looks like it's 0:03:08.160 --> 0:03:23.560 digging arms for serious? Serious, don't eat that. Ah, thank you. 0:03:26.639 --> 0:03:34.000 I call you Dicky because you serious. This specimen, while intriguing, 0:03:34.160 --> 0:03:36.200 is nothing more than a liability with a potential to 0:03:36.240 --> 0:03:38.880 undermine our efforts in recovering the satellite dish. We're ill 0:03:38.920 --> 0:03:41.000 prepared to care for any event, let alone run from 0:03:41.000 --> 0:03:48.160 a species we know nothing about. I know your reckless 0:03:48.160 --> 0:03:50.360 behavior may have led us to the molaire, but I'm 0:03:50.400 --> 0:03:53.560 sorry a line must be drawn. Continued disregard for proper 0:03:53.600 --> 0:03:56.480 protocol will not be tolerated. Any further engagement with that 0:03:56.480 --> 0:03:58.840 creature not only puts our current objective at risk, it 0:03:58.920 --> 0:04:07.360 jeopardizes the entire missions logo. I had no idea, though, 0:04:07.400 --> 0:04:13.040 I have to say the resemblance is uncanny. Congratulations, Mom, 0:04:13.120 --> 0:04:16.080 Now can you two stop playing house so we can 0:04:16.120 --> 0:04:19.480 go find the satellite dish? Come on, there's an exit 0:04:19.480 --> 0:04:22.279 out of the chamber this way and serious Logo's right. 0:04:22.720 --> 0:04:33.080 Leave it behind. Serious, say farewell to the baby mole. 0:04:33.240 --> 0:04:35.440 This is an official mission we're on with direct order 0:04:35.520 --> 0:04:43.200 from the agency. Dudley, you have good instinct, like Papa. 0:04:43.880 --> 0:05:11.359 What's serious on mission. You stay here, Oh giant tunnel 0:05:11.440 --> 0:05:16.719 like baby, It's absolutely breath take. I've never seen anything 0:05:16.720 --> 0:05:21.600 like it before. One big labyrinth of interconnected tunnels and chambers, 0:05:21.760 --> 0:05:28.720 illuminated by lantern fire. Quite spectacular. The tree's roots seem 0:05:28.760 --> 0:05:32.200 to extend all throughout the lairs main corridors. They appear 0:05:32.240 --> 0:05:41.039 to be vibrating of carrying signals. Watch out loose rock 0:05:41.520 --> 0:05:48.279 ah Moly roll Moly exquisite. Despite being quadruplets, the moles 0:05:48.320 --> 0:05:51.480 epidermal left allows them to support their bodies into spheres 0:05:51.520 --> 0:05:55.320 for rolling transport, a more efficient form of locomotion. This 0:05:55.360 --> 0:05:59.719 whole enterprise is truly an engineering marble, each moble operating 0:06:00.040 --> 0:06:04.480 individual dick scaptin rolling, fulfilling their own unique niche, yet 0:06:04.520 --> 0:06:07.240 all the while functioning as the building blocks for a 0:06:07.360 --> 0:06:11.520 larger ordered, unified complex. All a masterpiece at work. And 0:06:11.720 --> 0:06:14.760 look the more mature moles, even of plush brown hair, 0:06:15.160 --> 0:06:17.719 a welcome change from the eyes, or that's a flesh 0:06:18.000 --> 0:06:20.600 chalk like appearance of their youth. They look like junk 0:06:20.640 --> 0:06:22.840 collectors to me, are you saying the moles are smart? 0:06:23.040 --> 0:06:25.920 I'm only theorizing up here, but yes, we're likely in 0:06:26.040 --> 0:06:31.039 the profressence of a highly sophisticated, ultra intelligent advanced society, Grace, 0:06:31.320 --> 0:06:34.280 But we're not here on a science expedition. Maybe one 0:06:34.279 --> 0:06:36.159 of them can tell us where to find the satellite dish. 0:06:36.920 --> 0:06:42.800 What about O sound good observation? Serious? This um makes 0:06:42.839 --> 0:06:47.279 for a rather exotic acoustic ecology. The moles appear to 0:06:47.400 --> 0:06:51.200 mimic the sound, harmonizing to form the grand droning melody 0:06:51.200 --> 0:06:55.440 echoing throughout the corridors. But as for its purpose, I 0:06:55.600 --> 0:07:00.400 can't get drunk conclusion without gathering more data learning to 0:07:00.440 --> 0:07:03.800 the topic of our mission, the whole reason we're down here. 0:07:04.120 --> 0:07:06.479 The satellite dish can be in any one of these chambers. 0:07:06.720 --> 0:07:24.000 We can't possibly search them all. We need a plang Serious, 0:07:24.520 --> 0:07:26.840 what is that thing doing here? I told you to 0:07:26.920 --> 0:07:31.280 leave it behind the hatchery? Serious? No Greek Diggley, diggle 0:07:31.320 --> 0:07:38.880 it mallow, fine, whatever, but it's a liability to our mission. 0:07:40.080 --> 0:07:41.800 There might be a way to use diggley as a 0:07:41.840 --> 0:07:44.600 bargaining chip to get the most help us. Now, come on, 0:07:44.800 --> 0:07:53.360 and no more distractions from either of you. Roll right 0:07:53.440 --> 0:08:01.680 into us a watch roll moll almost higgle either? Serious? 0:08:01.680 --> 0:08:04.200 A little respect for our friend here where guests in 0:08:04.320 --> 0:08:07.440 its home hardened us mole. We didn't mean to intrude 0:08:07.520 --> 0:08:10.000 upon your work. We were just on an intersecting pet. 0:08:10.040 --> 0:08:16.760 Please carry on with your civic mold duties. Serious restrain 0:08:16.840 --> 0:08:19.600 that mold. It's not join anywhere until we find out 0:08:19.600 --> 0:08:26.120 what it knows. Settle down. We need you to answer 0:08:26.120 --> 0:08:33.680 a few questions before we let you go. You're here 0:08:33.720 --> 0:08:38.040 to retrieve something called a satellite dish logo. Please describe 0:08:38.040 --> 0:08:42.200 it to our friend. Here's a large, round, concave piece 0:08:42.200 --> 0:08:45.240 of metal used to receive and transmit signals. This one 0:08:45.280 --> 0:08:47.960 happens to be white and shiny. Maybe you've seen it 0:08:48.040 --> 0:08:52.400 and mistaken it for a communal water bowl, or perhaps 0:08:52.760 --> 0:08:55.600 and it doesn't matter. It's of no value to you molds. 0:08:55.760 --> 0:08:57.920 We've been hired to recover it for our employer, the 0:08:58.040 --> 0:09:00.920 rightful owner. It's among the dug up garbage around here. 0:09:01.120 --> 0:09:07.560 Where can we find it? Logo? You said these things 0:09:07.559 --> 0:09:12.880 are smart? Is it just playing dum on purpose? Maybe 0:09:12.880 --> 0:09:15.920 this one's only a worker mole. Excuse me? Do you 0:09:15.960 --> 0:09:18.440 have a superior or is there someone of higher authority 0:09:18.440 --> 0:09:23.560 to whom we may address our inquiries. I take it back. 0:09:23.600 --> 0:09:26.680 Either at the individual level, these most clearly lack the 0:09:26.679 --> 0:09:29.760 capacity for higher level thought. There must be some kind 0:09:29.800 --> 0:09:34.080 of smarter super mole that's orchestrating all this from behind 0:09:34.080 --> 0:09:40.679 the zines. Serious, release the mole. Get out of here, 0:09:40.720 --> 0:09:45.400 your rascal. You're already shoot roll away while you still 0:09:45.440 --> 0:09:59.880 can no yelling. Scared, Diket you don't it? Okay, pop 0:10:00.000 --> 0:10:03.800 the deep you safe from me? What do they do? 0:10:04.960 --> 0:10:10.559 Deeply sensitive to Tom, I can't be. I'll scout ahead, 0:10:11.559 --> 0:10:14.880 see it. How do you make it stop? I apologize 0:10:14.920 --> 0:10:19.679 to Diggley face to face. Can't you just like shush 0:10:19.760 --> 0:10:26.800 it or something? Okay, Okay, I'm doing it. I'm here, Diggley, Diggly, 0:10:26.840 --> 0:10:29.120 I'm sorry if you're raising my voice. You stopped crying 0:10:29.200 --> 0:10:37.200 now either? Uck you like your shiny hand reeling? Who 0:10:37.480 --> 0:10:40.520 Maybe Diggley try it on, you know, taking it off 0:10:40.520 --> 0:10:46.920 as a bad idea, but look, you stopped crying. I 0:10:47.040 --> 0:10:49.200 scot it a chamber. I'm ahead. It might be worth 0:10:49.200 --> 0:10:57.000 investigating on our way o. No. Judging by the sounds 0:10:57.040 --> 0:10:59.480 coming from inside of this chamber, I think it's best 0:10:59.520 --> 0:11:04.760 we skip going in. I'm trying to listen on Deickly, 0:11:04.880 --> 0:11:11.079 No listen poison Deeply's ears change what I don't get 0:11:11.120 --> 0:11:14.960 it either, But where are you all? Change of plants? 0:11:15.160 --> 0:11:17.600 If there's actually a smarter mole in charge, I bet 0:11:17.600 --> 0:11:20.280 it knows the location of our satellite dish? How do 0:11:20.320 --> 0:11:22.440 you plan on finding it by heading straight to the 0:11:22.440 --> 0:11:24.600 source of the elm I have a feeling that behind 0:11:24.600 --> 0:11:26.720 the sound will find the mole who knows where our 0:11:26.720 --> 0:11:34.240 satellite dish is. You hear that the elms sound is 0:11:34.280 --> 0:11:38.160 getting deeper and more resonant in this direction. The tree 0:11:38.240 --> 0:11:40.559 route seemed to be getting thicker as well, which must 0:11:40.600 --> 0:11:46.960 mean we're getting closer to the tree's trunk. What is 0:11:47.040 --> 0:11:55.679 that that thing that mold mole side boulder? Yeah, and 0:11:55.800 --> 0:11:58.000 it happens to be blocking our entries to the chamber 0:11:58.040 --> 0:12:01.200 where the almost coming from. That male looks like it 0:12:01.320 --> 0:12:05.640 eats other males. Ether, I suggest we find an alternate 0:12:05.720 --> 0:12:11.760 route for a biggly sick logo kind of look like 0:12:11.840 --> 0:12:14.720 a mall with squid eyes? I do, I do kind 0:12:14.760 --> 0:12:17.400 of look like a mall series. Do you have any 0:12:17.400 --> 0:12:20.520 more of those worms you ate here? Either? You're hungry, 0:12:20.559 --> 0:12:25.080 just ask and thanks? But they're not for me. Hey, 0:12:25.200 --> 0:12:37.440 big boy, got something for you, dinner boy? You want 0:12:37.440 --> 0:12:40.720 those worms. Go get those worms. You like those worms, 0:12:40.720 --> 0:12:49.240 don't you? Yeah, you don't get those worms. How did 0:12:49.240 --> 0:12:54.400 you know that would work? Oh? No, like tasty worms. Now, 0:12:54.800 --> 0:12:57.960 before we enter the ome chamber, know that once inside, 0:12:58.000 --> 0:13:01.320 things might go south. Quick a moment to stead yourselves 0:13:01.320 --> 0:13:08.199 and brace for the worst. Serious and deadly grip me too. 0:13:08.840 --> 0:13:11.319 All right, we're about to pull back the veil and 0:13:11.400 --> 0:13:21.520 be behind the curtain. Oh what that source of home? 0:13:22.400 --> 0:13:24.800 There's the satellite dish. What do we make of this? 0:13:25.240 --> 0:13:27.840 An elderly, gray haired moule is projecting its voice directly 0:13:27.840 --> 0:13:30.800 into our satellite dish to create the home sound. I've 0:13:30.880 --> 0:13:32.760 been done trying to make sense of things since you 0:13:32.840 --> 0:13:35.320 and Serious became parents to a baby moul. Let's just 0:13:35.440 --> 0:13:41.360 grab the dish and get out either. Wait, satellite dish 0:13:41.400 --> 0:13:45.360 look important, mole. Serious is right. The dish is suspended 0:13:45.400 --> 0:13:47.959 like a gong in the center of a wooden frame apparatus, 0:13:47.960 --> 0:13:50.080 bound together with tree roots. It appears to be some 0:13:50.120 --> 0:13:52.360 sort of shrine. I don't think she'll just let us 0:13:52.440 --> 0:13:55.040 have it, and we'll have to take it by force, 0:13:57.480 --> 0:14:02.200 you elder mole. Listen, My partners and I have traveled 0:14:02.240 --> 0:14:05.440 halfway through the Azrael desert to get here. That device 0:14:05.480 --> 0:14:09.120 you're coming into the circular piece, it belongs to our employer. 0:14:09.400 --> 0:14:12.280 So you have two choices. Give it to us willingly 0:14:12.520 --> 0:14:15.480 and we'll go in peace, or resist and we'll take 0:14:15.520 --> 0:14:22.360 it by force. So what's it gonna be? Oh, she 0:14:22.480 --> 0:14:27.840 don't care. Just humble home, mam. If you don't respond, 0:14:27.920 --> 0:14:30.480 your choice will be made for you either. She must 0:14:30.480 --> 0:14:33.840 be in a state of deep trance. So this is 0:14:33.840 --> 0:14:36.480 clearly part of some ancient whole ritual. She's using our 0:14:36.520 --> 0:14:39.680 satellite dish to meditate. There's no use shouting. She can't 0:14:39.680 --> 0:14:42.960 hear a thing. Fine, by me, serious, get the dish, 0:14:43.080 --> 0:14:53.520 a serious go, I'll watch digley ah ah, be careful 0:14:53.600 --> 0:14:56.320 taking it down with the frame. The whole setup was 0:14:56.600 --> 0:15:14.680 very fragile. Weaver, who are you? Why are you doing 0:15:15.160 --> 0:15:18.200 in the shrine chamber? How did you get that bother? 0:15:20.480 --> 0:15:23.480 You've come for our oil out tider? How haven't you are? 0:15:23.920 --> 0:15:34.360 Haven't you either? Either? All? Wake up? More of you? 0:15:35.440 --> 0:15:39.720 Oh and you'll take it one of our newborns hunted? 0:15:40.920 --> 0:15:45.760 Oh please please, I think you don't defile the shrine. 0:15:46.120 --> 0:15:48.840 You can have the oil. What the shrine must remain 0:15:48.880 --> 0:15:52.080 in chat We didn't come for your oil. Your shrine 0:15:52.160 --> 0:15:55.080 is our satellite dish, and we're here to take it back. 0:15:55.200 --> 0:15:59.800 You don't understand. If you dismantle it, you'll destroy how 0:16:00.080 --> 0:16:05.760 divine all have settled an irreversible shame reaction when we're 0:16:05.800 --> 0:16:10.600 leading to our colonies demise ether. Maybe there's some way 0:16:10.600 --> 0:16:15.000 to compromise. Grab it serious, grab the satellite dish. It's 0:16:15.000 --> 0:16:30.680 the only way serious. I told you to be careful. 0:16:31.120 --> 0:16:36.440 The Agency's not gonna be happy about this. Sorry logo, right, 0:16:36.840 --> 0:16:44.160 a serious grub your clock unleashed, play our colony, but 0:16:44.320 --> 0:16:53.080 you kill those either. This sounds bad and Diggley's crying again. 0:16:53.280 --> 0:16:59.040 Stopped crying. Look at the shiny amulet like that, like 0:16:59.120 --> 0:17:03.720 the shy. Now, you two, come on, we have our 0:17:03.760 --> 0:17:05.280 own problems to worry about. Help me pick up the 0:17:05.320 --> 0:17:10.240 broken pieces of the satellite dish. How about the damage. 0:17:10.720 --> 0:17:13.320 From a precursory assessment, it appears to be a clean break, 0:17:13.560 --> 0:17:17.760 fractured into three even pieces. Fortunately it looks like a salvage. However, 0:17:17.840 --> 0:17:19.920 I won't know if there's any structural damage until I've 0:17:19.920 --> 0:17:22.200 got the chance to perform an in depth examination. Let's 0:17:22.240 --> 0:17:24.000 each take a piece of the dish and head out 0:17:24.000 --> 0:17:26.160 of here. We're back above ground. We can figure out 0:17:26.160 --> 0:17:29.720 how to piece it back together like new. Everyone got 0:17:29.720 --> 0:17:32.680 their third of the satellite dish. Yes, mine's safely secure 0:17:32.720 --> 0:17:36.439 to my pack, serious strap to back. I'll hold on 0:17:36.440 --> 0:17:45.280 to my piece for now. Let's go. Ether Mall's going 0:17:45.359 --> 0:17:47.760 to be okay, Sure they will. They take care of 0:17:47.760 --> 0:17:53.280 their own, just like we do. Already we've caused enough 0:17:53.440 --> 0:17:56.719 trouble and left us and ruin. At least give us 0:17:56.760 --> 0:18:01.719 the dignity of dying in peace. Ether doesn't feel right. Oh, 0:18:01.720 --> 0:18:05.160 come on, if we stop for every crying over dramatic Mall, 0:18:05.240 --> 0:18:08.040 we'd never have made it past the hatchery chamber. We're 0:18:08.040 --> 0:18:10.520 the ones with a broken satellite dish. We have to 0:18:10.560 --> 0:18:19.879 help ourselves. And Diggley who helped Diggley. I'm sorry. There's 0:18:19.880 --> 0:18:21.680 just no way we can care for a baby Mall 0:18:21.800 --> 0:18:26.040 right now, you can drop them off at the hatchery 0:18:26.040 --> 0:18:27.760 on our way out. It's the best we can do. 0:18:28.359 --> 0:18:32.800 Grab Diggley and come on, relief. A little one doesn't 0:18:32.880 --> 0:18:37.760 matter unless the divine ome is restored. No Mall has 0:18:37.800 --> 0:18:44.360 a future down here, all all right? Go on, tell 0:18:44.480 --> 0:18:48.439 us what's so special about the home sound, which useless 0:18:48.520 --> 0:18:53.080 trying to explain to an outsider. Besides, I cannot tell 0:18:53.119 --> 0:18:56.080 you what home is any more than I can tell 0:18:56.080 --> 0:19:01.160 you what it means to be yourself. Oh please please 0:19:01.600 --> 0:19:08.520 tell We want help a very well. Then, Ome is 0:19:08.600 --> 0:19:13.080 more than a sound. It is a path to a 0:19:13.160 --> 0:19:18.880 deeper understanding of the true nature of the universe. Now 0:19:18.880 --> 0:19:22.880 we hear it in the divine harmony of the spheres, 0:19:23.480 --> 0:19:28.000 the resonance of the cosmos, the life force which echoes 0:19:28.040 --> 0:19:32.840 through the souls of every living being. OM is the 0:19:32.920 --> 0:19:39.560 natural frequency at which all energy flows. But why is 0:19:39.600 --> 0:19:44.080 am so important to you most Why surely you've noticed 0:19:44.119 --> 0:19:48.199 the lanterns and our home. Just as we use oil 0:19:48.320 --> 0:19:53.800 to illuminate our tunnels, we use home to illuminate our minds. 0:19:54.440 --> 0:19:59.240 Through Ome, we unite our consciousness into one. You unite 0:19:59.280 --> 0:20:02.359 your consciousness. I knew it. Each mole is like a 0:20:02.480 --> 0:20:08.160 node operating in a giant neural network. Precisely, our colony 0:20:08.240 --> 0:20:14.440 has evolved as a shared consciousness, experiencing a singular existence, 0:20:14.880 --> 0:20:19.760 living for one collective purpose. Now all things are one, 0:20:20.320 --> 0:20:24.919 a Ome, unite all things. To be in sync with 0:20:25.080 --> 0:20:29.320 Home is to we in sync with the universe. Why 0:20:29.359 --> 0:20:34.359 do you need our satellite dish? You mean the singing bowl? 0:20:34.720 --> 0:20:37.240 Sure right? Isn't it just another piece of junk? You 0:20:37.480 --> 0:20:43.240 Moll's dug up. The singing bowl is an ancient Moull relic, 0:20:43.840 --> 0:20:49.600 our oldest artifact. It is the conduit for channeling home 0:20:55.160 --> 0:21:01.520 the diviners. Singing bawl possesses an ethereal sense and resonates 0:21:01.520 --> 0:21:05.320 at Owen's natural frequency. You know, when a conductor Moll 0:21:05.440 --> 0:21:10.760 like myself, focuses their energy into the shrine, the ball 0:21:11.000 --> 0:21:15.720 absorbs and amplifies the force, which is then channeled through 0:21:15.800 --> 0:21:20.440 the tree roots in our tunnels and chambers, allowing OH 0:21:20.920 --> 0:21:25.719 to radiate throughout the colony. Now, this energy, when harnessed 0:21:25.760 --> 0:21:29.600 through the ball, unite the consciousness of each mole into 0:21:29.640 --> 0:21:35.560 one connected universal mind. Without the ball to keep our 0:21:35.640 --> 0:21:39.400 colony in seek with Home, the harmony between the moles 0:21:39.560 --> 0:21:45.280 will fade into the chaos of darkness. How come gray 0:21:45.280 --> 0:21:48.359 hair Moll can talk of like not roly poly mall 0:21:48.440 --> 0:21:54.440 in tunnel Because as I said, I am a conductor mall. 0:21:54.920 --> 0:22:02.040 I've studied the common tongue. A conductor is a mole 0:22:02.160 --> 0:22:07.960 gifted with superior spirituality and mind. For this conductor soults 0:22:08.119 --> 0:22:11.400 are said to be naturally in tune with the universe, 0:22:11.640 --> 0:22:15.520 which gives us a heightened sense of intuition, a sixth 0:22:15.520 --> 0:22:21.280 sense beyond ordinary perception. Admittedly, my sense is done with age. 0:22:21.560 --> 0:22:24.879 How many conductor malls are there? You're looking at him 0:22:25.520 --> 0:22:29.119 around Every sixty years, a new conductor mall is said 0:22:29.119 --> 0:22:32.640 to be born and is then trained as a master 0:22:33.000 --> 0:22:36.040 in the ways of home, to one day relieve the 0:22:36.119 --> 0:22:39.800 prior conductor of her duties and take the helm At 0:22:39.840 --> 0:22:45.600 the shrine chamber's singing boll our colony is actually overdue 0:22:45.880 --> 0:22:50.440 for a new birth. Nevertheless, midway through a conductor's training, 0:22:50.760 --> 0:22:54.800 the apprentice leaves the colony unsabbatical and for a short 0:22:54.880 --> 0:22:59.560 while enters the outside world to acquire knowledge and learn 0:22:59.680 --> 0:23:02.760 the common time. So you've experienced life on the outside. 0:23:03.040 --> 0:23:05.600 I may be a very old mole, but from what 0:23:05.680 --> 0:23:08.440 I remember of the outside world, it is a cruel 0:23:08.680 --> 0:23:14.440 and unforgiving place. Not true good exists. They're true during 0:23:14.480 --> 0:23:16.480 our journey. If we come across another bowl with the 0:23:16.520 --> 0:23:18.560 same home frequency, we'll be sure to send it back 0:23:18.600 --> 0:23:23.159 to you. Yeah right, yeah, an empty gesture. There simply 0:23:23.240 --> 0:23:28.040 isn't time, not enough time. What do you mean. Do 0:23:28.119 --> 0:23:31.240 you see my drinking bowl? You notice it empty? Big 0:23:31.320 --> 0:23:36.600 empty glass bowl. And unfortunately there's past year has been 0:23:36.600 --> 0:23:40.720 the greatest drought in our colony's history since the first birth. 0:23:41.240 --> 0:23:45.240 As we've grown physically weaker, so too have the mental 0:23:45.280 --> 0:23:50.200 bonds uniting our colony. Now soon, one by one, each 0:23:50.280 --> 0:23:53.520 mole will fall out of sync with Ome, and our 0:23:53.600 --> 0:23:57.920 divine sound will fade, with nothing left to preserve our 0:23:58.040 --> 0:24:03.200 delicate equilibrium. The drone of madness will spread through our 0:24:03.240 --> 0:24:08.879 home and the darkness will once again return. That was 0:24:08.920 --> 0:24:11.240 never our intention. There has to be a way we 0:24:11.240 --> 0:24:15.720 can help now. I wish there was, outsider. But once 0:24:15.760 --> 0:24:20.119 the last mole has turned dark, our tree will die, 0:24:20.359 --> 0:24:24.400 and all hope of restoring the balance will die with it. 0:24:24.880 --> 0:24:28.439 For our colony, there will be no coming back to 0:24:28.520 --> 0:24:32.280 the light. Serious logo. If what the conductor says it's true, 0:24:32.280 --> 0:24:34.119 we need to leave right now before things take a 0:24:34.160 --> 0:24:39.280 turn for the worse. Agreed for the sake of the mission. 0:24:40.400 --> 0:24:48.520 Ah ah, go then leave my chamber. The exit from 0:24:48.520 --> 0:24:53.119 our colony is through the tree tree. The tree's trunk 0:24:53.280 --> 0:24:57.600 is hollow, insider wooden stairs. Presumably that is how you 0:24:57.840 --> 0:25:00.679 entered near the top. There is a hole in the 0:25:00.720 --> 0:25:03.760 trunk from which you may exit to return to the 0:25:03.840 --> 0:25:08.119 outside world. Where do we enter the trunk through the 0:25:08.160 --> 0:25:12.760 base one level directly above this chamber. Now please leave 0:25:12.880 --> 0:25:21.600 me me we're going ah serious, now leave giggly behind. Sorry, serious, 0:25:21.640 --> 0:25:24.400 but he's not our responsibility. As I said, we'll return 0:25:24.520 --> 0:25:26.640 him back to the hatchery where we found him. It's 0:25:26.680 --> 0:25:50.000 for the best. Ah no, oh no, The buzzing to 0:25:50.119 --> 0:25:53.040 break down of the omen has begun. The sound of 0:25:53.160 --> 0:25:56.680 males turn to furious even how we find our way 0:25:56.680 --> 0:26:01.000 to the base of the tree trunks? Um, all roots 0:26:01.080 --> 0:26:03.159 lead to the tree trunk. After we stop at the hatchery, 0:26:03.200 --> 0:26:04.920 we can follow this tree room. We should be able 0:26:04.960 --> 0:26:06.159 to track it all the way to the base of 0:26:06.160 --> 0:26:08.000 the tree. From there, we'll go up and exit through 0:26:08.040 --> 0:26:11.240 the hole in the tree's trunk. Like the conductor said, now, 0:26:11.280 --> 0:26:23.280 come on this way right, keep up? Are you okay? Yeah? 0:26:23.680 --> 0:26:27.880 That grace wolf came in newhere. What are they doing? 0:26:28.920 --> 0:26:34.919 Moster and violent fight? Old grammy? Oh lud, let's go. 0:26:35.160 --> 0:26:46.560 The hatchery is just up ahead. Serious, I'm gonna need 0:26:46.600 --> 0:26:48.160 you to know that, as bad as it may seem, 0:26:48.160 --> 0:26:50.720 returning bigly to this hatchery is the right thing to do. 0:26:51.240 --> 0:26:53.439 He's better off down here with his own kind than 0:26:53.560 --> 0:26:56.160 outside in the harsh desert. Stands with us. The desert's 0:26:56.200 --> 0:27:00.280 no place for a baby moll and the conductor. The 0:27:00.320 --> 0:27:02.800 colony has been in darkness without hom in the past. 0:27:02.920 --> 0:27:04.760 If they came out of it once before, they can 0:27:04.760 --> 0:27:08.520 find a way out again. Logo and I will wait 0:27:08.520 --> 0:27:10.479 in the main passage way so you can say goodbye 0:27:10.480 --> 0:27:17.160 to Diggley. Logo coming. I'll be right there either, Diggley. 0:27:17.280 --> 0:27:19.199 I have to be quick, and I'm afraid I'm not 0:27:19.240 --> 0:27:22.560 always so eloquent with words. Although our time together has 0:27:22.600 --> 0:27:24.719 been breathed, I want you to know that I consider 0:27:24.760 --> 0:27:28.480 you a very special mole. Take care now, Diggley. I 0:27:28.640 --> 0:27:51.240 must be going. Logo coming either, Ah Deglee good agree, 0:27:55.960 --> 0:28:02.680 deadly serious, have to leave now, but be strong more 0:28:02.800 --> 0:28:10.880 brothers and and sisters need you strong more, Conductor, need 0:28:10.960 --> 0:28:34.000 you strong? Serious serious, need you strong? Oh Diggli Diiggli serious? 0:28:34.040 --> 0:28:35.720 What are you still doing with Diggley? I thought we 0:28:35.800 --> 0:28:41.720 came to an understanding Dogie eyes still with Siddle Diggley 0:28:41.840 --> 0:28:55.000 starting to turn dig sick. Listen, No, it can't be 0:28:55.840 --> 0:28:59.080 your madness is umbrus called it's not safe here. The 0:28:59.160 --> 0:29:01.720 darkness overtaken the colony is umbra. The mole layer won't 0:29:01.720 --> 0:29:04.120 be stable much longer. How do you know? Trust me? 0:29:04.240 --> 0:29:08.040 We have to leave now, then go without serious here 0:29:08.480 --> 0:29:12.680 piece exactly likeiteness, No serious. We've already sacrificed too much 0:29:12.720 --> 0:29:14.080 for this mission. You can't just give it all up 0:29:14.080 --> 0:29:17.320 from one tiny mole. We leave Diggley behind, likeness, We 0:29:17.440 --> 0:29:23.440 leave Giggley to die. Okay, Okay, we'll help them, we will, 0:29:23.920 --> 0:29:27.200 how I don't know. Maybe if we find Digley's actual 0:29:27.240 --> 0:29:29.280 parents don't know how to take care of them at 0:29:29.320 --> 0:29:31.760 the very least under their parental guidency, stands the best 0:29:31.840 --> 0:29:34.760 chance of recovery. But either we can't count on finding 0:29:34.800 --> 0:29:36.960 Diggley's parents down here. We don't even have a way 0:29:36.960 --> 0:29:39.600 of communicating with the moles. Besides, even if we some 0:29:39.760 --> 0:29:42.800 show manage to track them down, there's no guarantee it's 0:29:42.840 --> 0:29:49.320 not too late. They may have already no terms. You 0:29:49.440 --> 0:29:51.800 heard what the conductor said. The only certain way to 0:29:51.840 --> 0:29:54.400 help Digley is to restore the Ohm sound and bring 0:29:54.440 --> 0:29:56.920 back harmony to the colony. Yeah, but the om was 0:29:56.960 --> 0:29:59.600 funneled through the satellite dish, which is now broken and 0:29:59.640 --> 0:30:01.880 which you have to bring back with us anyway. There's 0:30:02.000 --> 0:30:11.080 no chance or stories, no need more barren serious, deady bearing, deady, 0:30:11.160 --> 0:30:16.240 no need all me there did already needs serious love 0:30:18.200 --> 0:30:31.240 right deeply right, Oh, the drone of madness. It's spreading 0:30:31.320 --> 0:30:38.320 rapidly throughout them all areas. That's hard dirt walls, burt 0:30:38.360 --> 0:30:44.600 that sounds colis tongue all he was right most you're 0:30:44.680 --> 0:30:47.400 turning self destructive and alarming rate. They appear to get 0:30:47.440 --> 0:30:49.400 first and self head first against the walls of their 0:30:49.400 --> 0:30:54.880 own colleague. If this continues, the whole are found the glass. 0:30:56.320 --> 0:31:00.240 What you saying? There must be something where miss see 0:31:02.640 --> 0:31:11.880 Do you hear that? What a rumbling noise? Tell me about? Yeah? 0:31:12.000 --> 0:31:25.120 Where's it coming from? There? Behind us? It's but that's way. 0:31:25.520 --> 0:31:28.480 There's no time to change during cour us skip in 0:31:28.520 --> 0:31:33.760 the end squashway Big Bubba giggling come back and even 0:31:33.840 --> 0:31:39.560 Diggley's abandoned us finished gold Digley kicked down game and 0:31:39.720 --> 0:31:47.920 turned of course digging down worry help digging day from 0:31:48.880 --> 0:32:05.800 Dick didn't even up. Dahle say it works, Babba, roll 0:32:06.040 --> 0:32:11.280 right over, Giggli save us well we're still inside an 0:32:11.320 --> 0:32:13.960 underground collapsing layer. First things first, up and out of 0:32:14.000 --> 0:32:21.200 this hole, Giggle? Serious? How about the hole? Serious? Way, 0:32:21.680 --> 0:32:24.760 don't get Diiggli up just yet. You can leave your 0:32:24.800 --> 0:32:26.240 pack in the hole for now. I need to talk 0:32:26.320 --> 0:32:32.440 with you and Logo in private. Wow, he's that everything? Okay. 0:32:34.120 --> 0:32:36.680 There's no easy way to put this, but clearly there's 0:32:36.720 --> 0:32:38.600 no getting Diggli the help he needs down to you. 0:32:38.920 --> 0:32:41.080 We don't need another close call with death to tell 0:32:41.160 --> 0:32:44.520 us that. Right, we have to head for the exit. 0:32:44.720 --> 0:32:46.440 We'll find Giggli the help he needs once we're on 0:32:46.480 --> 0:32:51.440 the outside. Land's change to bring Giggli with us. Not quite. 0:32:52.440 --> 0:32:56.240
