## Annotations

Below are the annotations for NTMtP Episode 4 - Ewok on the Wild Side.

**Mynocks** are the batlike creatures that attack the Millennium Falcon when it flies into the belly of the space slug in *The* *Empire Strikes Back*.  They can often be found chewing on the power cables of starships.  In the old EU, they were silicon-based life forms that were allergic to helium.

**The Sarlacc** is the giant sand monster that Jabba tries to throw Luke and co. into in *Return of the Jedi*.  Sarlaccs supposedly digest their prey over thousands of years.  In the climax of the battle, Boba Fett famously fell into the Sarlacc pit.  In some versions of the EU, he escapes, only to fall into the pit again.  (I should point out that the Sarlacc doesn’t really move, so this is an impressive feat.)  *The Clone Wars* depicted a flowery variant of the species on the planet Umbara.

**The Fanged God** is the embodiment of the Dark Side of the Force in beast form.  It was first depicted in *The Clone Wars.*  We’ll cover this in more detail in a future segment.

**Kiros Birds** (and the related species, Convorees) are super cute birds that have goggles on their faces.  GOGGLES.  You should Google them for their goggles.

**Kushiban** are a cute EU species with color-changing mood fur that has a cultural ban on tool usage.

***Caravan of Courage*** is a 1984 children’s movie that takes place on the planet Endor.  James has an unhealthy love of this movie.  It’s…not very good.  Its sequel, *Battle for Endor*, has a mysterious Force-using witch in it who can fly.  She was later retconned to be a Dathomiri Nightsister, the same culture we discussed from *The Courtship of Princess Leia* in our first episode.  We’ll cover Nightsisters in more detail later.  (Caravan of Courage is not canon so far.)

**The Wraith Squadron Series**is a set of EU books that focuses on a squadron of colorful rejects from the Rebel armed forces.  The pilots in that book are goofy as hell and are always messing with each other.  Note: Wedge is actually the person who tricks Janson into stripping naked, but only after Janson messes with him first.

Skyjacks: Episode 52

## Blurb

The crew beings to explore Nordia, but they know something feels wrong. Gable's attempt at healing Travis has done something unpredictable which caused unease within the party. In attempting to distance himself, Travis discovers something he could have never prepared for.

### Content Warnings:

Main show: health anxiety, description of corpse.

Dear Uhuru: The wildest musical crime ever committed to the digital format.

## Plot Summary

The negotiations with Alvin, the head shipwright at the Nordian docks, continue. It is agreed that the people of Nordia will scrape the scmallic off the hull of the Uhuru.

After negotiations are settled, Travis decides to go and visit the shrine to the Luminaries in an attempt to find out what Gable's magic did to him. Every time he pulls a Luminary from his deck, it is always the Island. Gable decides to stealthily follow Travis in case anything goes wrong with his transformation, and Jonnit begins to stealthily follow Gable. Gable, however, is very noticeable, while Jonnit follows completely unseen.

Jonnit briefly opens his third eye, and sees an unexpected vision of Nordia's destruction, approaching soon.

Travis reaches the bridge that leads to the shrine, and tells Gable not to follow him across, as Jonnit watches from the rooftops. Gable agrees to wait, and Travis goes on and enters the shrine. Inside the shrine is a woman that looks painfully familiar to Travis, and he calls out to her, calling her "Margaret". She responds, and when Travis tries to apologise, she reveals that her name actually is Margaret.

When she moves her hair, a tattoo of a black lily is revealed on her neck, indicating she is a member of the Black Lilies. She offers to do a Luminary reading for Travis, and when she does, the changeling card rips. Travis is overwhelmed, and rushes outside and throws up into the river outside. Margaret is concerned, and suggests that they go and get a drink together to discuss this further.

Meanwhile, Jonnit meets up with Gable on the other side of the bridge from the shrine. He offers them a bottle of bogwine that he stole from a cart. Gable takes the bogwine and proclaims that they have decided to be fun. Gable and Jonnit go off together to enjoy the festival. They head towards the main square, where there are sounds of music and revelry. Jonnit is sitting on Gable's shoulders, and he puts a flower in their hair and one in his own hair. Jonnit feels momentarily anxious about the vision he'd seen earlier, and Gable offers him a cake to distract him.

They round the corner, and come out into the square. At the center of the square, surrounded by the people of Nordia dancing and singing, there's a desiccated human corpse.

## Dear Uhuru

The crew interviews the humanoid, singing cat, Otto Van Von Veen.

## Blurb

Thanks to their bizarre contract with The Broker our heroes have just a day to prepare for the race which opens Aur Pióra. Can Dref help his companions: a charismatic idiot, a career layabout, and an actual child learn the obscenely complicated rules? Will Gable be able to condition Jonnit and Travis with a cross fit crash course? Who’s got big piss energy?

### Content Warnings:

Gable and Travis are wrapped in 200 years worth of complicated tension and realize if they want to help Jonnit they will need to find a way to resolve it. Jonnit faces down The Mariner. Everyone who rushes to his defense is driven back by the hateful power of the sea. He must face a bitter truth: there is no one alive who can help him.

### Content Warnings:

The thrilling conclusion to the race as the Uhuru Crew desperately tries to build up points in Aur Pióra. Once things wind down Gable and Jonnit prepare for their meeting with The Broker and potential buyers. Dref decides to hang back and study for The Show and Trevis helpfully offers to drink while he does it.

### Content Warnings:

*Main Show:* Violence, mild teasing, bird drinking
*Dear Uhuru:* Jokes about all of the draining terrible stuff we see on twitter.
Skyjacks: Episode 117

## Blurb

Taking no chances, Gable begins ordering evasive maneuvers preparing The Uhuru to battle The Silver Bullet. In the belly of the ship Jonnit finishes getting the orphans latched into safe places before rushing off to try and help. Tarvis comes to the realization that he and Orimar have unintentionally walked in on a group of rowdy Rs and they might be in danger. He scrambles for a way to warn Orimar without tipping off the mutineers.

### Content Warnings:

*Main Show:* Pretty extreme stress, missing an absent partner, heights and people dangling from them, betrayal.

*Dear Uhuru:*  Bullying
Skyjacks: Episode 98

## Blurb

Jonnit, Gable, and Travis take some time after their somewhat eventful conversations early in the day to clean more of Dref’s office. They receive an unexpected invitation to an event that takes place just before the exchange in the evening.

### Content Warnings:

*Main Show:*  We mention Dref and sometimes that makes people sad, sibling baggage, ruthless retcon because Tyler gets what Tyler wants, James needs some dialect coaching with Aly- that’s just not an Ulster accent to stat but he’s not trying very hard on a central/southern either

## Blurb

The sun begins to set as the dinner-bell rings. Travis decides to see how valuable the information he won from the Morrigan is. Jonnit and Gable bully Travis for being insistent on having a constant existential crisis. They decide to peep into the future to put him at ease, a choice that I’m sure won’t have major implications down the line. Don’t worry about it.

### Content Warnings:

*Main Show:* kind of a reference to chronic pain, character reacting poorly to an emotional crisis,  metaphorical religious trauma,  a bit of grief

A simple oversight by the Skyjacks (in the Captain’s name) leads to a series of consequences, conflicts, and threats. ALSO IN THIS EP: An update on the 10,000 piece puzzle.

### Content Warnings:

*Main Show:* J\*rk \*ff J\*rry, skyship peril

*Dear Uhuru:*The return of an unwelcome guest, light kink discussion, innuendo

## Plot Summary

Jonnit and Spit discover that the Uhuru has been burning through far too much coal. It turns out the vessel has a serious case of schemata (spelling?), AKA "Sky Barnacles", which weighs upon the ship like a ton of bricks.
Sky Barnacles

Sky Barnacles are a species of fungi native to the skies of Spéir. They spore in damp environments (such as when a skyship enters a large cloud), excreting a cement covering similar to earthly barnacles. While there are treatments and waxes to make a ship *resistant* to being barnacled (a condition known as schemata), removing the fungus itself requires "a lot of elbow grease".
Skyjacks: Episode 8

## Blurb

The battle continues as the sun starts to rise. Travis struggles to keep from falling out of the ship while he transforms leaving  to defend their plunder from Red Feather soldiers. Dref miscalculates what happens when you use a man to stop a machine, while Gable continues to cross swords with Franz Fishhook.

### Content Warning

*Main Show:* Violence, gore, drowning

*Dear Uhuru:* Description of a pustule.

## Plot Summary

Orimar attacks the Civility crew members threatening him as the ship continues to list and tilt. Dref creates a magical barrier to prevent himself from falling off the ship. The one remaining crew member stabs Orimar and realizes the captain is not a normal, living man, and loses his mind.

Travis's transformation begins with the ship off-kilter, putting him in danger of losing his grip. Jonnit fails to catch him, but he lands on the closed cargo door. They pull out Dref's device, the "dirigiballoon" or "extricator," and attach it to the cargo.

Spoilerbot makes an appearance, redacting some discussion of when Travis first became a changeling.

Desperate to get his greedy hands on more treasure, Travis tries to speed up his transformation to get human hands back, and succeeds in pocketing some gold ingots.

Gable saves Wendell, who was forced to hold on to the furnace to avoid falling off the ship and is grievously wounded. Fishhook casts a marine-themed spell that fills everyone's lungs with seawater. Calder breaks Wendell's sword.

Dref instructs Orimar to throw the remaining combatant into the gears of the rudder. He does so, and the resulting gore makes Dref lose his lunch.

## Dear Uhuru

The crew is interviewing another prospective candidate. The candidate is a little 12 year old boy who looks as though he could be 9. This child has a very large shiny purplish growth coming out of his neck. It is described as being able to burst at any minute. His name is Goiter which he was named before he got the growth. Two cabin boys both named Little Johnny are introduced.

Tales from Spéir: The Mariner

## Blurb

The Mariner is no myth. I ain't seen him, but don't need to see to know what's real.

## Content

An old Ariner tells the listener story of the The Mariner: its birth, what it is, and what it does.

Before the stars fell, the seasons were in order, and the sea was tame, Spéir was divided into nations that divided the land and used the seas for trade and war. They spread accross the world to places no one has seen in a hundred years. When the stars fell, the seasons went feral, and the sea turned foul. Nobody alive today remembers the world before the stars fell, but the stories have been passed on.

The Airner speaks about an island that can be seen anywhere land is no longer in sight, made from the remains of wrecked ships and those that died upon its shores rather than the actual earth and soil of Spéir. The Island calls to sailors and draws them in. How it does so varies from telling to telling, from the promise of safe land to singing songs like a siren. Regardless, its goal is always to tempt those lost, hungry, and homesick souls to change course from the Starwatcher's chart and come to its shores.

The majority of those who see The Island are drawn to crash and die, joining all the other ships and sailors that suffered the same fate. Those few that do manage to escape it bear The Mariner’s Mark, a black spot that appears on their palm. Any with the Mark that go out to sea again after seeing The Island never return.

It was on The Island that The Mariner was born. It resembles a man but is made from the sea and the ships that crashed upon its birthplace. Like the Island, The Mariner also calls men from the land out to sea. Those bearing The Mariner’s Mark hear his voice, many of which end their lives in an attempt to drown it out. Those that do not inevitably find their way to the sea once more and become drowned sailors, joining the ranks of the Mariner's armada that sail the sea and attack settlements.

Nobody alive knows what the Mariner wants, just that it hates the land and sky. So when we see sails on the water, we close the gates, we bar the doors, and kiss the dirt that it might stay beneath our feet another day.

Dref has to escape after making what we can all agree was a pretty spectacular mistake for him personally. Travis and Jonnit face an angry crew and a leap of faith. Gable, Wendell, and Nodoze fight for their lives against Fishhook. When all seems lost, Gable must reconcile with who they are.

### Content Warnings:

*Main Show:* Violence, gore, drowning
*Dear Uhuru:* Description of a career in improv

## Plot Summary

The rudder broken, the Civility rights itself. Fishhook strikes Gable with his half-anchor weapon, dealing serious damage. Calder makes a move toward Gable, but Wendell tackles his brother and they both fall off the ship.

Some crew members try to protect the religiously ornamented box from Travis and Jonnit, but Travis lazily takes a couple of them out and Jonnit shoots a couple as well. They recover the box.

Dref orders Orimar to defend him. Orimar picks up the smaller man and hops off the ship onto the back of Flea.

Nodoze fires a spear at Fishhook and Fishhook is pinned in place. Gable removes their mask and coat, baring their shoulders and back, which are covered with faded sailors' tattoos and two vertical gashes along the shoulder blades. They draw their greatsword, which sings through the air and becomes sheathed in flame. Their eyes fill with black. The strike separates Fishhook's arm from his body and sets him alight. Behind them, the Bishop screams in fear, calling Gable "fallen one" and "cursed." Gable grabs the Bishop and throws him off the ship, and then collapses against Nodoze.

Jonnit and Travis get the cargo launched off the ship, and they fly away on Lucas. Metatron grabs Gable and Nodoze -- also carrying Wendell.

Dref watches the Civility attempt to fire on the Uhuru, but they attempt to shoot the spiked cannons, and the unbalanced shots capsize the ship. The sea seems to reach up to claim the Civilty and sink it below the waves.

Tales from Spéir: Sky Jacks

## Blurb

I can see you’re curious. Lucky for you this old Ariner has had more than enough drink needed to tell a tale.

## Content

An old Ariner tells the listener about Sky Jacks. Story of long ago, when the seas were calm and the seasons came in sequence. During this time the world was divided into nations who used the seas to spread power across the earth. That was before the stars fell. After the fall leviathans rose from the depths. The seas were appeased by making sacrifices. Those who performed sacrifices and traveled the seas bore the Mariner's Mark.

Skyjacks got their start after the invention of featherweave. It is a white silk with red strands throughout. When it is heated it floats and can lift a ship with it. Only the Red Feather Syndicate knows how it is created.

Later, the Uhuru crew pillages what equipment, trinkets, and supplies they see fit, whereupon the Captain’s Council makes a sinister discovery of their own.

Tales from Spéir: Corsairs

## Blurb

Those who fly outside the banner of the Red Feather aren't all they say.

## Content

An old Ariner tells the listener tale of corsairs and how they came to be.

Before the stars fell, corsair, privateer, and pirate were the names for sailors that fell out of good graces with the nations of Spéir gave to sailors who got on the wrong side of their wars. They all were treated as raiders and thieves. And while many who became Corsairs did turn to raiding and thieving after losing the blessing of their nation, the majority of corsair crews were just ships that had lost their fleets and had no ports to call home.

Now that there aren't nations, corsair is the term for any Sky Jack that sails outside of the Red Feather Syndicate's authority. Like the pirates of the sea before them, Corsairs sometimes turn to desperate measure to stay in the sky, and they do attack Red Feather ships. The Red Feathers put out an image of corsairs just being Mariners who took to the sky: vicious and cruel.

The Ariner rebuffs that idea of corsairs, as through his time as a Sky Jack he's shared drinks and played Illimat many corsairs and they seemed like any other Sky Jack, apart from being more weathered by their years and the stories that they tell. The Ariner gives the listener a peice of advice: if they find themselves at an Illimat game with a corsair to not bet too much, and ask for a story. Sky Jacks working for the Red Feathers only get to go where the Syndicate tells them to, but corsairs are able to travel anywhere: including places the Red Feathers doesn't bother to chart and the Nations never knew of.

The Ariner has never seen The Tempest, the first ship to be named a crew of corsairs, but knows that its real. And that despite what the Red Feathers may say, that its still out there, and that they pose a considerable challenge for even The Mariner. The Ariner stats that he's been around long enough to know that if someone tells you that a group of people are monsters, they have a reason that has nothing to do with any concern for you. Even if The Red Feathers pay him and keep him fed, they haven't earned the right to tell him who’s a monster. He reminds the listener that the only monsters on the Spéir come from the sea, and wants them to remember that most of all from his stories.
