Summary: Subscribe at iTunes 022 – "Children of Men " The title comes from a movie by the same name directed by Alfonso Cuarón. Check out our “bloopers” reel (at the end of the podcast) as we mess up the opening about 3 times! Opens, Rachel with pulled pin on grenade – militia man wrestles it away and tosses Aaron must assume she’s dead. Meanwhile, Charlie Company lands about 4 miles from tower. Jason gives Charlie cold shoulder – Neville: “Women.” Monroe takes group with Rachel & Randall to the tower door – Rachel granted access – did the “Mole People” know there would be more people than just Rachel when she came or did they make a mistake? Why let anyone in if you’re supposed to be the “Keeper of Level 12?” Randall confirms my earliest suspicions – “It’s a Super Collider.” Randall speculating on “who else could it be.” Next 3rd guy questions Monroe’s logic – Next 2nd and he get locks out. Mole People leader “welcomes” crew. Team Charlie finds Aaron with a Bic lighter reading manual… Aaron freaked a bit by Neville. Randall show’s off non-level 12 miracles…. All satellites are working and can spy on anyone anywhere, even kill them if you get level 12 access. Miles gets on Aaron for not stopping Rachel. Neville gets smart with “chubs” – Aaron says he can get in with the book “You Dick.” Elevator working, Monroe group goes down but stops on 11 – Mole People come out blasting with Electromagnetic blasters. Rachel and Monroe wind up in Cheney’s bunker – hand-to-gland combat then mind games. Neville & Jason take out yet another pendant amp… why? They use multiple grenades… while Aaron is using a 64 character override, Neville & Jason are pinned down – a few grenades would come in handy here, eh? Really, only a string of 32 – two character pairs to override the military’s most important installation? Monroeoffers the olive branch to Rachel & uses a bit of psyco-dictator woo-woo on Rachel. Rachel’s long-blinks and corner-mouth wrinkles always gives her away. Monroefinds weapons and causes a flashback to Ben & Rachel. Rachel hints this is their last week together. Neville & Jason gets captured. Neville messes with New Next 2nd. Charlie Company arrives at 11 and findsMonroe’s party devastated. Mole People are hot on they’re trail. Aaron: "God, are those monkeys?" Charlie Company escapes in air duct. Rachel & Monroe have heart-to-heart –Monroeadmits blood on his hands. 4 month after black out – Ben finally gets pendant-enabled computer working – Rachel is distraught for killing 90% of the population. Is she suicidal? In the meantime in the background Grace signs on to Ben’s newly working computer. Aaron saw “Coil Guns” on Myth Busters. They head to empty armory. Neville makes a play for revolt with Captain Baker. Jason offers 3rd party endorsement. Does this mean if Neville pulls it he is then against the Rebels and theGeorgiaRepublic? Miles knifes Mole guy and gets his coil gun, “Nice.” Rachel sees Charlie on the monitor – enough to get guns unlocked. Monroesaves the day for Aaron & Charlie, “A thank you would be nice.” Monroe + Rachel = discombobulated Charlie. Monroe & Miles come Coil to Coil to “Settle up,” Charlie Company gets tour of the Tower Lair – what are the windows about? Grace makes an appearance. Nice background music. Who is Dan? Dan burns Dr. Warren’s handbook. Captain Baker agrees to Neville’s offer and lets them go. Baker gives Neville his handgun and says get rid of “Franklin” – New Next 2nd. The lights will come on or the earth catches on fire. Previews: Monroe is still alive. Aaron hits “enter” button – Lighting storm around Monroe. Quick update on my workshop in Ft.Worth with Jack Spirko from The Survival Podcast – How would you like to create a backyard garden that you will never have to water again?
