The script for Episode 3 is available here
Ahab takes down Bullhorn and the Imperial Union of Gladiators!
This episode had a lot of technical issues. You might notice that Ahab is perhaps uncharacteristically quiet during his match with Bullhorn— Ahab had some audio issues a few times over here. We recorded Ahab 3 times for this episode and ended up having to use a good portion of audio from session 2, despite it being inferior for various reasons.
I also had some difficulty with Bullhorn’s men. I used some freely available audio for the chanting, but I tried to mask it’s Earthly origin the best I could with some other sounds lest our wise and honorable audience discover it’s true source. Kayfabe!
This was the first true large action setpiece in the show. Did you feel like you could see the Kyrgan blowing through the walls of the arena? Dropping that escape vessel? I worked that section to death. I initially completed it in 2018 and fiddled with it for another 11 months off and on. It was the part that convinced me we should just go ahead and launch the damn thing instead of sitting on it forever and letting it die on the vine.
I can’t overstate how bitterly I felt about releasing the show without making it as excellent as possible. I think in many cases i may have over-edited. There’s a bit in episode 4—- we’ll get to it.
Leaving Fork behind is perhaps the Companies’ biggest mistake yet. He was a loyal dude despite his shortcomings as a weak minded baby, and with his new found bloodlust— it’s hard to say exactly what might happen to Fork. But rest assured, we will discover his fate one way or another. Someday.
