This session was played on 24/08/2025. Instead of the adventures of the usual party, it followed three rigasian convicts (Antonio Vargas, Zoé Curie and Steve) that volunteered to help in timeline exploration to commute their sentences.

• Antonio Vargas
• Zoé Curie
• Steve
• Ariyadna
• Rigasian Drill Sergeant
• Rigasian Prison Guards
• Rigasian Gate Operator
• Rigasian Gate Technicians
• Road-Travelling Woman
• Road-Travelling Man
• Food Stall Owner
• Reticent Wolf Rider
• Kind Wolf Rider

• Sergeant: All right, faggots! Today's your lucky day, and you're meeting your brain for your expedition. It comes attached to a pair of tists, so I don't want to see any one of you even looking wrong at them as long as I am here!
• Antonio is visibly confused as to what a “faggot” is.

• Zoé: (entering a prison conference room) Hii, my name is Zoé Curie; I hope we'll be able to work together.

• Sergeant: What did you say? I didn't hear “yes, sir” there.
• Antonio: Estás Pendejo, Sir!

• Operator: We'll open this way eight times, once every twenty four hours. So to come back you need to be at the same place at the same time one day during the next week. Keep track of the place and of the time because we can't keep track of your position. Usually basic exploration is completed in three days or so, but we keep this open for a full week; after that time we assume you can't come back and stop trying.
• Zoé: No Ariadne's Thread for us then?
• Antonio: Why is that?
• Operator: Because opening this thing once is more expensive than providing power for a small city for a year. We managed to argue for seven chances to come back; it used to be three.

• Around you everyone gets moving. A bunch of people start toggling machines, and others are in front of several monitors (quite small ones in this day and age) and sets of dials.
• You feel the pillars starting to hum. If you are close enough, you might notice that they are a bit warm even.
• You hear the Sound. It's slow and grating: like a thousand bubbles and nails on a chalkboard.
• In the middle of the pillars you see space kind of warp like a mirage and from it a million bubbles of perfect mirror coalesce in a bigger bubble that pulsates strangely.

• Antonio rips the cloth off the rigasian flag and sticks the pole in the ground.
• Antonio: Now we have a marker!
• Zoé: Good enough for me

• Zoé: [the compass] works!
• Antonio: Do compasses break with these portal thingies?

• Antonio greets the two travellers saying “Hello there, comrades!” in his native language.
• Cool, they also say something in their native language that has absolutely nothing to do with yours.

• Suddenly someone behind you lets out an extremely piercing whistle.
• Antonio: Puta madre! What the hell was that—
• There's a woman laughing at you where the whistling came from. She is one of the slightly less dark women around, but her features are different in yet another way. She also has dark reddish hair, making her very noticeable.

• Antonio opens the pouch to find it full of salt.
• Zoé: Did she think you were a performer?
• Antonio: Maybe? Not sure? Maybe I can work like that here.
• Zoé: Know any cool tricks?
• Antonio: Uh… I can play guitar, and my pa taught me some knife tricks.

• Steve decided to break the laws of reality and used his huge cooking skill to turn a military ration into something palatable.

• The woman that threw you the bag of salt is standing there and she's holding a huge-ass double-ended spear on her shoulders, her hands resting on the shaft. She has a shit-eating grin as she looks down at you.
• Antonio: Do you need anything?
• Ariyadna: No, but you do.

• Ariyadna: So, let me tell you a little story. A few years from now, your country is goung to fuck up so big that entire timelines will roll up in a little ball. I mean it: time is going in circles in some places. This is the second time I've had to do this.
• Antonio: W—What do you mean second time?
• Ariyadna: I mean second time; I'm caught in the circle and I have to ensure that things go the same way so we don't stop existing!

• Ariyadna: One day I will find one of you people and they won't ask that; six thousand days of giving the same explanation.

• Zoé: Bummer, you are very cute too; I would have loved hearing an explanation from you.
• Ariyadna Oh my fuck seriously? You… rargh.
• And then she goes still because Steve teleported a needle inside her brain.

Rose wasn't here, but then again neither were any of the others.

Both Antonio's and Steve's players were feeling under the weather today so we took things a bit easier than usual.
