Greetings, 6 Minutes Podcast Listening Humans. It is I, the Interconnected Voice Activated Network, your podcast pal, Ivan. The following recording was made on cassette tape. in late summer 1987 by cyrus anders while he was missing from our timeline the recordings have been digitized edited and scored for your listening pleasure and now without further ado i present cyrus the lost tapes
Testing. Testing. Hello, tape recorder. Angel here. Don't know why I'm recording, but Cyrus seems to think it helps him. And since I can't erase it now, I may as well add in my two cents while Cyrus puts our plan in motion. Oh, right. He probably didn't have time to tell you. We have a plan now. I mean, I think it's we. I honestly feel, well, as lost as Cyrus feels, I'm guessing. Think of it this way. I'm like 11, right? And I have this crazy ability to dig into someone's brain and...
control them. But, I mean, half the time, I don't even know I'm doing it. I know I can hurt people with this power, but Cyrus thinks that maybe I can help people, too? Anyway, if that wasn't enough, now he has this rock that can basically stop my powers from working. Weird that it was the one thing in his pocket when he woke up here. No memory, no ID, no pictures, just...
One special rock. He thinks the kryptonite, as he calls it, is a good thing. That it will help with the plan. And I guess the truth is... It's been a while since I've trusted anyone but myself. Hey, Angel, who are you talking to? Wait, are you recording? Since you won't let me erase it. Yet. Besides, you're right. It...
Kinda helps. Did you just say I was right about something? Don't let it go to your head. Did you get the quarters? Yup, there's a payphone about five minutes from here. You ready to do this? Let me tell Maxell here. Maxell? Maxell? Cyrus doesn't know I named you Maxell. The tape recorder is now Maxell. Like the brand on the tapes. Got it. Alright, Maxell. I still don't know how I feel about this, but...
Cyrus had an idea to get the people following me to, well, find us. If you think that sounds crazy, you are not alone. I personally think it's nutso, but it may also make some sense. See, we have this rock. Hey, I was talking. I'll never be safe, will I? That's the thing. This rock, it actually fixes, well, everything. So you think.
You think so, too. Here's what we're thinking. You. What you're thinking. You know it's a good plan. Okay, so. We're gonna call Angel's mother from the payphone, pretending like she's ready to turn herself over to them. Then, they're going to meet at this really cool spot called the Coral Castle in an hour. It was my favorite spot to go to with my mom. So once her mom arrives, probably with whomever she is working with, I'll stand by with the rock.
Because you believe that the only reason they are chasing me is because of my powers. Isn't it? Probably. And so, if they test me and realize that my powers don't work anymore, they'll leave me alone. Stop chasing me. Just let me be a normal kid again. Why do you sound like you don't believe in the plan anymore? I just think it's a long shot. But can it work? Maybe. But it's putting you in danger too.
I'm used to this kind of thing. At least, I think I am. Which, quite frankly, is a little concerning, but it's working in my favor here. Why? Why are you risking so much for me? I... I don't know. Look, something tells me if I have a kid sister out there somewhere, she'd be a lot like you. And, I mean, what do I have to lose? You you have a life here or you can Besides as far as I can remember you're the only friend I have You you're doing this out of friendship?
You think of me as a friend? Sure I do. An annoying, paranoid one with some sick powers, but yeah, definitely a friend. Uh, besides, you're like... 11 and being chased by full-grown adults. It's twisted. They're the bad guys and they need to be stopped. So that's what we're gonna do. You should be enjoying a regular childhood. Not be like... running for your life. So... I'm gonna fix that for you. I... I don't think anyone's ever called me their friend before. Well...
You have one for life and me, Angel. This recording is proof. All right, Maxell. We're at the Coral Castle. I read about this place on the bus here. They think it was made by a guy named Ed that used reverse magnetism or some kind of kinetic abilities to move and carve the stone. Seems like the obvious location to have a nice chat about powers. Or prove you no longer have them. Exactly. Wow, this really is a heck of a lot of coral. Kinda beautiful, huh? A little creepy at dusk, but sure. Angel?
I think this is a bad idea, Cyrus. Maybe we shouldn't... We can't turn back now. I'll be right here. They're coming. Take the recorder. Hide! Keep it running. I'm behind this wall. I won't let anything happen to you, okay? Okay, go! Angel, there you are. Oh my goodness. Hi, Mom. Why are you here alone? Wait, what? Angel, where is he? What's happening? I'm... I'm walking out of my hiding spot. Angel, are you doing this? No. I'm so sorry, Cyrus. You...
You switched the rocks. I'll be needing that recorder now. Until next time, humans. This is Ivan saying... Peace, love, and time travel. Shh. It's starting. GZM shows imagination. I'm Debra Goldstein, host of the game show The Big Fib. And I'm the sound effects robot, Lisa.
