Last time on no latency. Driving the clives.
0:06
Driving the clives. Why are we going to?
0:08
Clives what were? You not paying attention?
0:10
Rescuing him and then he's gonna give us the guns, All right?
0:13
That makes a lot of sense. Are we going up headshots then?
0:15
Well, of course. Head over on over to that gate.
0:18
But the front door is locked. We need you.
0:20
OK, we'll unlock it and. Then come back over, all right.
0:22
It's quietly sneak it. Bridge and clear.
0:24
Preaching clear all. Right, Jeff, let's go.
0:26
Preaching clear. Mother.
0:27
Oh my God. I got this guy.
0:29
Just run through there. He won't even see you coming.
0:31
If you don't stop your friend from opening that door, I'm
0:34
gonna shoot you in the head this close.
0:37
Do you know what happens when somebody shoots you in the head
0:39
this close? I'm gonna make a mad dash
0:41
through them. Phoebe, why'd you have to hit
0:43
the hot one? Sorry, I did say I wasn't gonna
0:45
go for the face, but. I just said I'm Morpheus.
0:48
What the hell was that? Glen, what the fuck is going on
1:02
here? That's just when you your
1:05
regular kind of hold up happens you know Night City and that.
1:13
Normally I've got it, but I've got a bit of a bum leg.
1:15
I help myself so wanted some help.
1:19
Comes really good, but it only really shoots once every two
1:22
turns, so. I mean, it's pretty cool to see
1:26
now what that gun can do since we got it for you.
1:30
Yes. No, I've always.
1:31
I was always surprised that none of you tried to shoot it.
1:33
I did ask you not to. So thank you, because the
1:35
bullets are incredibly expensive.
1:37
But that little fucker tried to break into my secure storage.
1:41
Got my expensive shit in there. And thank you for not using
1:45
grenades, because if you'd blown up one of these lockers, they
1:48
are full of, like, you know, guns and ammunition, so it would
1:54
have been bad you. Know I was thinking about using
1:57
a flame charge, and so I'm really glad that I didn't.
2:01
I'm also glad that you didn't, because that's.
2:06
I mean, fuck this. I mean, I live here, so.
2:09
I'm really honest guy. You're going to probably have a
2:12
little bit of an issue of smoke damage inside of your other your
2:15
break room area over there because one of those guys did
2:17
pop off a smoke grenade, so all. Right.
2:19
That's where the delivery man does his drugs.
2:22
Oh. Well, it smells like a campfire
2:24
in there right now, so. All right.
2:27
It's got a mess, woody, smoky smell.
2:31
Yeah, I'm not. I'm not really bothered about
2:32
that kind of thing. I'm Welsh.
2:36
Thanks for helping me. I suppose I should pay you.
2:38
That's probably a thing, isn't it?
2:39
Or you? Could or you could just give us
2:43
discounts. That's.
2:45
True. Suppose it's always possible.
2:47
I mean, I've kind of already been giving you a discount.
2:49
So I tell you what, here's his 250 each.
2:56
Is that nice? 2.
2:57
Each. That's pretty kind, yeah.
3:01
I'll say you know. I've got, you know, I've got
3:05
quite popular establishments, so I make a right for myself, but I
3:08
should install torrents after that The other gang gangers
3:12
would probably be really angry. Are they big?
3:15
I never heard of the gang gangers.
3:18
No, no, they're not very big. They're a small group, but
3:20
they've been a right pain in my backside.
3:23
I mean, I can imagine why, and it's because they're trying to
3:29
kill you. Is this the 1st?
3:31
Time to rob me. Well, they tried to rub me
3:34
before, but I was more prepared this time.
3:36
I I was in the IT was in the porta potty in the back and it
3:39
came back in. They were fucking broken in,
3:41
maybe. We should build an actual.
3:45
Now single, same thing. Retro, you know?
3:48
Well, the door to the to the weapon locking room is like
3:52
incredibly strong. It's got like 100HP that door.
3:57
That's. I mean, that's a mighty fine
3:59
door. Yes, look.
4:01
It's really thick. See look.
4:03
Yeah, I can see the charge that they exploded on there barely
4:06
left a scorch mark. Yes, shaped like a person.
4:09
That's a bit of a problem for that person, I suppose.
4:12
We piled the bodies in a in a pile of bodies over there.
4:17
But you said I I said that there were five of them, but I'm only
4:22
counting three in here. And there was only one in the
4:24
other room. So where's the other one?
4:26
Where is the other one? The other.
4:28
Arbitrator. Yes.
4:29
No, there were five. Remember when I called you retro
4:31
and I said there were four small guns and one big one?
4:33
That was Code 5, who was being robbed by four people who were
4:36
kind of OK and then one really tough person.
4:38
No, no, we we just killed one and there I blew their head off.
4:42
Right. Right.
4:43
And then I helped VV take care of the big one.
4:48
Too right, Uh? Huh.
4:49
So 2. And we have fours and.
4:53
You did? And then I killed the one near
4:55
the door. Rat.
4:56
No. Yeah, there's one in the in the
4:57
locker in the back, missing. I don't.
5:00
Know why? You know about that?
5:01
Oh. Oh, we did let 1 go.
5:04
We did. Oh, did you?
5:05
Oh, that's always a drop. They ran away, yeah.
5:08
Oh shit. Oh, that was not just that mean
5:11
retro we ain't. We ain't part about it.
5:13
Oh. Oh, did you do like some kind of
5:15
pincer move? We did exactly a pincer move,
5:17
yeah. OK, right.
5:19
Then do what? No, I I don't get things
5:22
sometimes. Sorry.
5:24
Anyway, thank you for for coming at such short notice.
5:27
I was like, help me and you showed up.
5:29
I can always rely on you lots. It's very nice.
5:32
So how was you were gone for a bit.
5:35
Where were you? You know, I I tried to find out
5:39
where you were. It was like you were out of this
5:41
world. Well, that's absolutely correct.
5:44
Clav. We were in spites.
5:47
We were both really. I accidentally got Jeb really,
5:51
really high and we all spaced out.
5:53
We got. So I actually had to go to
5:55
rehab, didn't we? Jeb and I'll suck Jeb in the in
5:58
the shoulder. I.
6:01
Do think it's safe to tell Clive.
6:03
Clive is part of the Better Business Bureau.
6:06
Safe to tell me what we were? Oh, the space is.
6:09
Are you being serious? Was that?
6:10
We were in outer space. Holy sheep.
6:13
Wow, that's a lot. If you went to space, you go to
6:20
space. There was a lot of stuff going
6:22
on. It was an accident, kind of, but
6:24
not really. But we're back and that's all
6:28
that matters. Great, right.
6:30
Well, because of that I hold up. I missed my delivery.
6:33
I don't have a lot of stock. It's a bit of a shame, but if I
6:36
can help with like refilling ammo and that sort of thing,
6:38
I'll tell you what, your ammo refill this time around, it's
6:41
free. Just take.
6:42
It. You don't.
6:44
Worry you spend bullets. I will say because I own the
6:48
property, I do, I am, I am going to keep what's on the bar DS.
6:53
Shit, it sounds. Fine retro, so if you could just
6:55
step away from the bar DS that would be great all.
7:00
Right. Since I paid you and everything,
7:03
that's a good boy. There you go.
7:05
Yes. Good boy.
7:07
Wait, wait, hold on. What?
7:10
How many headshots are here? I only got the one, I'll be
7:14
honest with you. Clive got one.
7:16
You had one headshot. I did have the one.
7:18
I got one. I mean, I kind of had one.
7:22
No, no, you you crushed someone's eye socket.
7:24
That counts, yeah? This is true.
7:26
So yeah, you. Say it so nonchalantly, it was
7:29
fucking terrifying. Yeah, this this bat's really
7:31
great by the way, Retro. Yeah.
7:33
Well, thanks. Well.
7:34
Done Retro. Thanks for the upgrade.
7:36
Thank you SO. Everybody got one.
7:41
I suppose. Yeah, I guess we did.
7:43
So we're all we're all tat. So this is a competition now?
7:48
Oh, it's always. In a competition.
7:50
I haven't been keeping score. So now that you're back in town,
7:54
what are you going to do next? I mean, you know, you're already
7:57
what the other S the building. So we're like, what's what's
8:00
next for the crew? You.
8:03
Some stuff that, you know, we should probably keep under
8:06
wraps, but oh. Is that?
8:11
What we're doing. What?
8:12
What? What?
8:13
Is that what? Well, I just wanted.
8:14
Do you want anything else? Otherwise I suppose you can bug
8:17
her off. Well, listen, I I actually would
8:20
like to put in an order for something.
8:23
What's that? I need a better gun.
8:24
Oh, don't we all. What you're looking for?
8:29
As do I really. First of all, VV needs a better
8:33
gun, period. Of VV.
8:36
Yes, pretty badly actually. It's if we could bump that up in
8:41
the priority list. No, absolutely.
8:44
I mean, I I do sell guns. You're standing in a gun shop,
8:47
so why don't you buy a gun? Yeah, let's let's look at them,
8:54
them shiny toys that you got. Oh, absolutely.
8:57
Now I've got. I only managed to get a little.
9:01
As I said, my delivery got cancelled, so I've not got a
9:04
lot. And also you know that that
9:06
fucking Mr. Carrigan's got his market this quarter.
9:09
So a lot of, like, the really good stuff is really hard to get
9:12
hold of because he tries to make it scarce, you know?
9:15
Yeah. He's actually quite nice.
9:17
But I'm, I'm, you know competition in that.
9:18
Like fuck that guy you. Know that kind of thing.
9:20
I mean, that's the mentality you gotta have if you're in success,
9:22
if you're gonna succeed in business.
9:24
And I look over to. Iona like that.
9:27
Right. Yes.
9:28
Good job, Jeb. Thank you.
9:30
I've been actually been studying.
9:31
I got one of them handbooks from.
9:34
From. From Biotechnica, if I thought
9:37
you didn't mind it. I saw you had a couple and one
9:40
was lying around the bar. So I've been I've been doing
9:42
some bit of reading, light reading on business ethics,
9:46
business. There are hardly any.
9:48
Ethics. Yes, correct.
9:50
It's just a small portion of a chapter, I believe.
9:53
Well, I've I kind of got bored after that.
9:56
There's a lot more interesting stuff in there if you continue
9:58
reading. Oh, just Matt.
10:00
Let me know if you ever have any questions.
10:03
Well, thank you. I don't appreciate that.
10:04
The the introduces of of business workings is a little
10:09
bit more nuanced to then what a handbook will tell you.
10:13
So if you ever want to know about the bureaucracy and all,
10:16
you know the pencil pushing all of that jazz.
10:19
The the exciting stuff. The exciting stuff.
10:23
Yeah, I'll, I'll keep that in mind.
10:26
It's nice to have you taking interest in things, Jeb.
10:29
Yeah, it was. It was kind of just late at
10:30
night and that didn't have anything else to read, look at
10:34
and it was the only thing in the bar.
10:36
But hey, I learned about how you gotta you gotta keep a leg up in
10:41
the competition by stomping everyone else into the ground.
10:47
Latest models from. Yeah, the Sanru line by chance.
10:54
You know those. That's what you like looking for
10:56
pink weapons? Who's the Sanru?
11:00
Like the Hello Cute, the hello. Cute.
11:02
Yes. Yes.
11:03
Oh, yes, no, no like that. And it's like the latest one.
11:07
Yes, yes. Yes, yes.
11:10
Now I I. I I'd I'd like.
11:14
To say one, Iona and I are going to have to fight.
11:18
And we have to. Like to say that I've got like
11:23
lots but I don't. I do.
11:26
I do have I have a replica Sanru Hello cutie they it.
11:32
It's a KE 7 so it's not as expensive but it is.
11:36
It is a 3D 6 -, 2. But you know, it looks exactly
11:43
like the other one. So if you managed to like, I
11:45
don't know, find a real one, you could do some Indiana Jones
11:50
shit. Indiana Jones.
11:52
Shit. You know where you was really.
11:55
Who's that? That's an old old reference from
11:59
like 80 years ago. Don't worry about it.
12:03
Probably Wow. Actually.
12:04
I can't do math Well, I'm not. And don't let this one jam
12:09
because. I I don't mind a replica
12:14
personally. It doesn't bother me.
12:17
I don't know. Iona doesn't bother you.
12:18
Do you need the the real thing or nothing?
12:21
Well. You need a better gun right now.
12:24
Take that, and when we find the real one, the Ultra K8, we can
12:29
fight for it. That's.
12:31
I would love to see that. I hear, I hear Mr. Carrigan.
12:34
He's got 3. Next.
12:37
Like market? That's more than one for each of
12:39
us. Yes.
12:41
So at least he bought three. He might be keeping one for
12:43
himself. I don't know.
12:44
That's I didn't get a fucking invite.
12:47
But yes, now, because this is, you know, a knockoff, but you
12:51
don't, you know how expensive those things are.
12:53
Yeah, I saw the the pricing in the catalog, it's. 5000.
13:00
Yeah, it'd. Be shit.
13:01
In, in in the catalog, yes, Black Crab, that new catalog
13:09
that everybody's talking about, that's.
13:11
A great catalog, that's. Really a good one, black crab.
13:16
So I'm going to say because it's a fake one and it does less
13:19
damage, that it's actually only two and a half thousand, so it's
13:22
half price all. Right.
13:24
Look at my how. Much.
13:27
How much, how much money everybody got?
13:29
I'm just curious do. You need.
13:31
Do you need somehow? I am still a broke Med tech
13:34
student. How?
13:37
How much? Did you say it was Clive?
13:40
One and sorry, two and a half 1002.
13:43
Point. How much do you?
13:44
Have one moment as I pull up. Oh, I have 2000.
13:52
Oh, here, I'll float you the five.
13:55
Thank you. Wow.
13:57
Iona. Helping me out left and right
13:59
here. Thanks.
14:02
I'm going to lean into VV afterwards.
14:04
You know they're going to use this against you when you find a
14:06
real. 1. No, I think Iona's just looking
14:14
out for me. You know, I I don't.
14:17
I don't. You see, Iona?
14:18
Write it down in a little notebook.
14:23
Right throat just shakes their head.
14:26
All right, I got. Oh, this is.
14:29
This is so exciting. I have a knock.
14:31
Off center of that. Little cutie.
14:37
Baby steps. Yeah, it's at least better than
14:39
what I. Had thank thank goodness,
14:44
because you were not hitting anything with that.
14:47
However you are, you are. A a God with the bat.
14:51
Yeah, you know it. I realized that, you know?
14:55
Up close and personal is my specialty.
14:57
But you can't always. Sometimes you got to stay back.
15:01
Oh, is that a broken crystal you got?
15:03
Yeah, it's, I don't know if and you see anything.
15:07
Looks like shit. Yeah, I.
15:09
Can turn it into about 12 scraps.
15:11
That that would probably be more useful than what it is right
15:14
now, so. All right, hand it over does.
15:17
This also cost. No, OK.
15:20
You have a friend, you just kind of save the shop, so.
15:24
That's. I tell you what, it won't cost
15:25
anything If you can have a look at my leg.
15:27
I really did hurt myself. It wasn't.
15:29
Like. Yeah, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm really
15:31
bad at that. When people are injured, it
15:33
takes me a little bit of time to look at.
15:36
You're a doctor. All right, fine.
15:39
OK, fine. That's 10 Eddie's then.
15:42
I I am happy to take a look at your leg.
15:45
I just, I apologize I didn't do it sooner.
15:48
They throw the gun into just like a gun mulcher and it spits
15:52
out 12 scrap and put it in a little box now.
15:56
I give it to Retro. Here you go.
15:59
You might find this morning's cool.
16:08
OK, let's take a look at this leg.
16:09
Let's see. 20. They have a pretty bad sprain
16:20
and it looks like a little stress, a possible stress
16:24
fracture on the lower part of their right leg in the bone.
16:28
With a little bit of meds and an injection of some bone glue they
16:31
should be fine. It's going to cost you about 40
16:35
eddies from your pack. Not of actual money, but of
16:38
worth, and you could argue that much in in kind of.
16:42
Value. OK.
16:45
Pretty cheap to fix, but it's more your expertise and stuff.
16:47
Right. I pull out my medtech bag and
16:50
I'm like, well, I can fix this. It's still going to take you a
16:56
little bit of time to fully recover from this.
16:59
It looks like a bad fracture and sprayed, so just.
17:04
And it fell out of a porta potty, so that's the expected.
17:08
Just about this injury. You should've done that.
17:10
I didn't. Lock the door, and I leaned
17:12
backwards. It was really stupid.
17:13
Oh. Maybe tries to hold a slight
17:16
chuckle and and patches of backward.
17:20
Perception to see if I noticed I rolled 4.
17:24
I don't she. Just.
17:26
Has a nice smile on her face as she patches of backup.
17:31
It was a pretty shitty situation.
17:32
There's no need to laugh. Joke.
17:35
I'm sorry. I owe you.
17:37
Sorry, you said it was pretty shitty, I mean.
17:39
It was pretty funny. I know.
17:41
Oh, no. Yes, because of the boat.
17:43
Oh, no. I see why that's funny, right?
17:45
It's a pun. It's a pun, right?
17:47
Well, thank you, baby. That's really nice of you for
17:49
fixing my like, is that pro bono for all the love?
17:53
Yeah, you know you. Know.
17:57
Wow, you're. Elena, where I go?
18:00
That's rule #1. It's never worked for free.
18:03
That's in the handbook. You know.
18:08
If you want to get a hand, you gotta smoosh the competition.
18:12
It it was quite a bit of materials that were put into
18:20
patching you back up the the labor cost and material costs.
18:25
Dare you charge Clive after everything he's done for us?
18:32
Maybe it looks between Jeb. And Iona, Sure.
18:36
Jeb's like. Come on, well.
18:39
Both of you and roll. Persuasion.
18:43
OK, both of us. Yeah.
18:45
Iona and Jeb roll Persuasion and VV, actually, because you could
18:50
choose whatever you want. OK, roll.
18:53
Higher than both of them. 15. Player on, Player rolling.
18:56
Let's go. I love me some good.
18:58
Player on Player. Sorry.
19:02
PMP. PMP.
19:05
PMP I'm going to roll the. Crit.
19:11
I mean, that's why it. Makes sense.
19:16
Jeb is going off from Q. Iona.
19:18
Like Business School 101. Yeah, sorry.
19:27
It's it's Probone. It's free.
19:29
Free to charge you. Oh.
19:30
Thank you. Scraps so. 12 scrap one fixed
19:34
leg. I think that works out.
19:35
Thank you. Appreciate it of.
19:37
Course. And and and there's if you look
19:41
underneath the little panel in the box that your garden comes
19:43
in, it's nice box. I mean, it's fake.
19:45
But underneath is where all the MO is.
19:47
It's got a full. Screen.
19:47
Oh, great. Thanks.
19:49
Yeah, one whole clip. So that's, what, 30 rows?
19:52
Oh, it's pretty good, yeah. Right.
19:56
Does anyone else need anything? Again, I've got really low
19:58
stock. It's all that Mister Carrigan
20:00
bullshit. I'm going to tap my tile on VV's
20:05
and just send you over 50 at least before.
20:10
We're. Gonna do it subtly.
20:15
Though. Yeah.
20:16
Vivi, you just rolled 14 on 14 -, 4 on perception, so you don't
20:23
see this. Money.
20:24
Going to your account. You just.
20:27
Just change it to 50 and you'll just be like you have 50 and
20:30
don't. You love when that happens.
20:33
It's like finding money on the street.
20:35
So it's finding money in the cyberspace, yeah.
20:39
Well, no one else needs anything, Clive.
20:42
I'm going to get a little bit of help.
20:45
I need to get some of my armor fixed the the last guy.
20:52
But you've got like a wit noisy stock pit.
20:55
Do you want me to fix it? I mean I can fix it not to be
20:59
mean. To lean over the desk, come.
21:02
On. Your arm over the desk.
21:04
Come on. Click.
21:07
See this? And he puts his finger up to
21:09
your face. See this.
21:10
Taps you on the nose and pulls it out your arm?
21:11
Really. That's how we used to pull teeth
21:16
when I was a kid. You know, you distract him and
21:18
then you pull it out. That'll be fine.
21:19
All right, Vivi, You should stitch him up.
21:20
Did you need anything else? I need to be stitched up.
21:23
You just popped up my arm. Yeah, but now I've got a piece
21:25
of scrap. Do you want me to shred it?
21:27
This is like 8 scrap. Oh, sorry, I thought you just
21:30
pulled off my arm completely. No, no, I just pulled out the
21:33
piece. No, I know.
21:34
I thought that's why I was like, active.
21:35
I thought you just rip my you're not.
21:37
Going to be able to deal with this.
21:38
This is a biotech. This is, this is cybertech arm.
21:41
I'm sorry, that's my bad. Look.
21:44
Here's look. Here's some metal wire and a
21:46
needle. As I will try to sew my arm back
21:50
up as I'm talking with Clive. The needle's free.
21:52
Nice work. Oh, good job.
21:54
Oh, look at that's a little cross stitch.
21:55
That's pretty. Yeah, my momma taught me how to
21:57
cross stitch, so. That's lovely.
22:00
Here look what. You need three time.
22:02
Well, I didn't. I needed to get some of my armor
22:05
fixed because I had a nice hole blown out of me from that last
22:08
guy. He got a.
22:09
Strictly look, I mean what you're doing, what you're doing
22:11
right now because you rolled a 30 on side.
22:14
That's a repair of like 3 on the yes.
22:18
Yeah, well done. Kind of did that to yourself.
22:20
That's pretty good. Wipe that off all right.
22:24
I'm also in need of a quad for IO5 charge cable.
22:32
For what? Personal project.
22:35
All right, fine. I'll let you know once.
22:38
Once it's complete, I'll let you know.
22:39
I just. I can't.
22:40
Is it the one? And underneath the desk there's
22:43
like a glass panel. You can see a bunch of little
22:44
cables set out little trays. And is it this one?
22:48
No. No, no, This one.
22:49
A little more to the right. That one.
22:51
The one. The one to this one.
22:53
Yeah. That one.
22:53
That one. That one.
22:54
Yeah. Yeah, Yeah.
22:54
Yeah. OK, this one.
22:55
The blue one, Yes, the blue one all.
22:56
Right. Here's the blue one.
22:58
That's 490. Hold on, let me test it first.
23:01
Give me your bed. Here you go.
23:04
I'm going to. I'm going to.
23:05
Test it to see if it charges the bat.
23:08
It charges the bat. Fuck, I know.
23:11
I don't think I can. Talk.
23:13
It's really strong too. You could use it to climb.
23:16
Its braided. It's $490.00 cable.
23:19
You know what? Clive, I know this is a hard one
23:21
to find. I'm going to give you a small
23:24
tip and give them 500 eddies. Holy shit.
23:29
Thank you A. Small a small tip.
23:31
Yeah, I think 10 eddies is a small tip compared. 5. 100
23:37
Here's some. Yeah, 490 + 10.
23:39
No, 500 total, Jeff. Oh. 490 + 10.
23:43
See. I got it.
23:45
I was. I was just.
23:46
Impressed, I got it. Also, Jeff, aren't you studying
23:49
numbers in that pamphlet you're reading right now?
23:51
Oh, the numbers. I just, yeah, I just ignore
23:53
those. It's more of the general, you
23:57
know, big picture stuff. I'll let the you know.
24:00
I'll let the bookies deal with the numbers.
24:02
What's two times? Two, I'm sorry.
24:06
What's 2 * 2? 2 * 2 Well, that's easy, That's
24:11
four. Just checking.
24:15
Now it's 4 * 2. 4 * 2 well, that's six.
24:23
All right. All right.
24:26
Well, did any of you need anything else that's
24:28
embarrassing, Jeff? Does everyone have 1/2 shield?
24:31
Are we all charged up? I.
24:34
Think so? Yes.
24:37
At the church round when we get home.
24:39
Are you know why are you only wearing one of your half
24:41
Shields? Because I gave one to VV.
24:45
Yes. And I've got I've got one more.
24:48
Well, I guess I will take one more so I have my double half
24:51
shield up again. That's fine, yeah.
24:54
Let's have a look. It's not a good day for you, 660
25:00
Eddies. It's a lot.
25:02
I'm sorry. How much?
25:04
660. And that's with a discount.
25:08
With a discount, I mean. You could try and haggle me down
25:10
I guess. Can I haggle you to 653?
25:14
I mean, you could try and haggle me down to 600, but you still
25:16
have to roll for something and well.
25:19
I was only trying to take off 7 eddies, but you know what?
25:21
I will. Can I haggle you down to 600?
25:24
No, no. A crip fail on persuasion 14 -,
25:32
7. But I will say you you you
25:37
didn't make me pay VV earlier, so I'm going to say it's those
25:40
two cancel each other out, and however much you want me to
25:43
change the price, it's 660. What?
25:46
What? What?
25:48
The price doesn't go up, but it doesn't go down. 660 please.
25:55
Did you get invited to the Carrigan thing?
25:57
Let me check my tile. There's a thing from the Erosaka
26:03
benefits. There's a thing from oh, it was
26:06
an e-mail from Ted. Oh God.
26:13
GM Do I have an invite to the Kerrigan market?
26:16
No, I did not. That's a shame.
26:21
You guys quite famous. I thought they'd try and invite
26:22
you with all pain and all that clot.
26:25
Well, I'll reach out. Is there anything you want from
26:28
the market? Sorry, you'll reach out to Mr.
26:32
Carrigan. Yes, I will.
26:36
All right. No, no, no.
26:37
I I I believe you, right. Coming into Night City with all
26:42
of you. I'll.
26:43
I'll just call him. Just pick him up.
26:45
Or you just pick up a tile and you'll be like.
26:46
Oh, come on, Mr. Carrigan. Let's hang.
26:49
My God. Clive I'm going to lean over the
26:51
counter. Clive, don't underestimate me.
27:04
Hey, no Latency listeners, it's Spoon.
27:06
I play Jeb here on No Latency, but I also produce the brand new
27:09
show system switch. And it's called System Switch,
27:12
because every few episodes we take our sane, beloved
27:14
characters and throw them into a completely new universe in the
27:18
form of a new role-playing game. We'll go from steampunk to
27:22
cyberpunk, from fantasy to scifi, from romantic comedy to
27:25
dark comedy, from D&D to Call of Kathulu and everything in
27:29
between. So join us on our romp through
27:32
the multiverse by searching for System Switch on your favorite
27:35
podcasting app. Vivi, you are you are absolutely
27:46
fine. Don't worry about it.
27:48
It's just 500 eddies. I'm sure that you will spend
27:51
that much to fix me in the future.
27:55
I really appreciate your help Iona.
27:59
I really do I anything you need let me know and I can help.
28:05
It doesn't have to just be medical assistance.
28:09
I mean those. Sort of teams.
28:10
Helps if it is. Yes, I I I also might need
28:13
medical assistance. Thanks, PFE.
28:15
Of course, Vendel. Most definitely, Vendel will
28:17
need medical assistance. Yeah.
28:20
Right, throw. Comes back with a tray of shots.
28:24
Six shots. Oh.
28:26
Shots, Shots, shots, shots, shots, shots, shots, 1/2. 345
28:31
You know I don't. Drink this one's water.
28:33
Thank you. It's a driver's shot.
28:36
Thank you for the driver's shot, yes.
28:41
Only if we're flying, haha. And it's true.
28:43
Mostly, I'm doing the draft. What the fuck?
28:46
Retro Jesus. Well, I asked for whiskey, but
28:50
they ran out, so they got some of that nomad moonshine.
28:55
Oh, don't mind if I do. Are you gonna finish that Van?
28:58
Do. No.
29:02
Smooth. Let's see, let's see which one
29:06
of us goes blind. Yeah, I'm like, yes, we roll
29:09
something to see how we did. Everyone roll.
29:12
Resist torture drugs. Just like Mama used to make.
29:17
I will not, in fact, roll resist torture drugs.
29:20
No, you drank water. You're fine.
29:24
Just like Mama used to Jack. You brought 17 + 5 a crit.
29:28
Nice work. Yes, you are fine, Jeb.
29:31
You managed to hold your gut and you're completely like.
29:35
Wide awake, you might as well be sober.
29:37
This is just like the stuff you used to drink when you were out
29:40
in the Badlands. Retro.
29:42
You're almost instantly, massively drunk and VD as you're
29:49
drinking this moonshine. It reminds you of first year at
29:54
medical school, cramming after cramming and finishing exam,
29:59
going out on the lash with your friends.
30:03
In the fire cuz you're old higher than jab.
30:06
Damn. This.
30:07
Is 18 plus sport. Pretty good.
30:09
I like this. You don't even see VV wince jab
30:12
even you are intimidated but. VV Are you used to just taking
30:18
straight rubbing alcohol have. You seen trauma team, Med
30:23
school, the stuff that we had to we drank in our first years.
30:29
This is just isopropyl alcohol straight.
30:31
Down his throat. I mean that.
30:33
We had a lot of it in school, so, you know.
30:36
That's why you see that medically really worrying Bebe.
30:39
Look you had. It's disinfectant.
30:41
Yeah, you know. I'm sure you do retro.
30:48
And ping comes over. All right everyone, I I tried to
30:51
get you an invite and. Failed.
30:55
Miserably. I can't get hold of.
30:59
Him from love, No money. Did we try Claire?
31:05
Oh. Claire, that's a really good
31:09
point. Who's Claire?
31:11
Claire. Claire.
31:15
You hear footsteps? Claire opens the door.
31:19
Yeah. Oh, were you sleeping?
31:24
Yeah, sorry. No, no, it's fine.
31:27
I've been doing a lot of drugs. I remember everything.
31:29
It's incredibly traumatic. You guys didn't like, help me
31:32
with aftercare or anything. I had a massive existential
31:34
crisis. So when the shirts on backwards.
31:37
We ended up in space. I'm so sorry, Claire.
31:40
You went to. Am I still high I should sit
31:43
down? I do not recommend kit and
31:46
catch. It was existential all.
31:51
Right. Shit.
31:53
All right, So what do you need now?
31:54
What are you? What are you?
31:56
Why do you need me? I have a headache.
31:57
Can you turn the lights? Down It's really quite dark in.
31:59
Here, aren't you? Yes, we we I go over to the
32:04
slider and I slide it down as I slide it down to off.
32:09
Oh, it's so much better. Everyone in at the booth is lit
32:12
by Retro's TV places. It's flickers with his
32:15
drunkenness. Oh oh boy, you.
32:19
Need some water, but no Yes. No, Yeah.
32:25
Hey. Vendel Vendel passes jab a glass
32:27
of water in the dark. Here, I got you this, this, this
32:31
shot Retro, you're going to want to have that entire 16 ounce
32:35
glass of a shot. That's a big shot.
32:39
But I believe in you. Ooh.
32:41
This is a straw too. Makes it go down and see.
32:47
What do you want? Sleeper Iona.
32:50
I'm sorry. I'm so sorry, Claire.
32:52
We need into Kerrigan's market. You need to get to Kerrigan's
32:57
Market. Do you not have a ticket?
32:58
Not yet, you. Want me to get it?
33:01
If you can or I can have the sleeper reach out.
33:06
The sleeper would reach out to me so.
33:09
Well, consider that this. All right, so it gives out 100
33:17
tickets. Every quarter and 1 ticket lets
33:21
one person and the whole entourage show up.
33:24
They only send tickets to the people that matter in Night City
33:28
and I haven't heard from Mr. Carrigan since I fell from the
33:33
Sky Mall. So I've got my old files in my
33:36
apartment. If we head there I'll be able to
33:40
grab the the template and print out ticket 101.
33:44
There's a small chance to get found out when you get there.
33:46
They discover there's more guests than we're listed, but.
33:50
Well, there's also if you can access your files, we can
33:54
apprehend a ticket from somebody else who already has one.
33:57
Yeah, we could just jump them. I mean, I've got the template,
34:01
but yeah. Either way, I just wouldn't want
34:03
you getting in trouble. Yeah, that's fine.
34:06
Do you need me to go with you? I don't really like sunlight
34:08
right now and the bar is safe. Not at all.
34:11
Just give us the code to your apartment and we'll take care
34:14
of. It they put their key card on
34:15
the table and slide it towards. You.
34:18
They grabbed the half finished moonshine from the table and
34:20
down it in one. Oh.
34:22
It's the weak stuff. I'll see you guys later.
34:25
They smashed. The glass in the ground.
34:27
Geez, Clara's got kind of chaotic now.
34:31
We. We really did not take care of
34:33
Claire the way that we should have.
34:35
Probably right, yeah. But we're we've been busy.
34:39
From from the stairway, you hear?
34:43
Oh. Gosh, I hear what?
34:44
What was that? Did she say bubble tea?
34:48
Do we? Do we?
34:50
Ping, you got bubble tea back there?
34:52
They might be talking about the the nude bubble tea place that
34:54
opened not far from here. It's really good.
34:57
But they also put like drugs in their bubble tea and we love.
35:01
That. That's something.
35:03
Fun. Yeah, I'm not going to Clare
35:05
more and more now. It it.
35:07
Can be a hard spot. I would consider not doing the
35:11
thing where you idolize someone who is going through a rough
35:15
patch. Do you know what I mean?
35:16
Romanticizing someone's pain? Rough patch, yeah.
35:20
Probably not great to be like, oh man, that was badass, you
35:24
know? That's so cool.
35:26
I wish I was like this person who was struggling immensely
35:29
with perhaps drug addiction and pain.
35:32
Yes. Well, I mean.
35:33
Ping walks over. I I could order Sawtooth to come
35:37
over and do a a detox, but we'd have to like gather some funds
35:41
for them, I think. Well, we'd also need consent,
35:45
and I don't know that Claire's in a place to do that at the
35:48
moment. That's fair.
35:50
I mean, I could ask sort you to come over and ask them if they
35:52
want help. An intervention seems like
35:55
something we could do in the future.
35:57
OK, for now, just don't enable. Keep an eye on them.
36:00
Yeah. Sure.
36:03
I'll dilate the drinks. Thank you.
36:06
You got it. Now I only.
36:10
Vendell turns the lights back up.
36:12
That's better. I don't remember saying anything
36:15
about helping people for with their problems at at a cost to
36:23
us in the pamphlet. Was that in the back?
36:26
No, Jeb, this this is something I really only shared with Saw.
36:31
No, but. I'm not an evil corpo, right?
36:37
No, that's that's good. You keep it close to your chest
36:40
and that way you make more money because the people know you're
36:43
evil. Then they're they ain't going to
36:44
buy your stuff, you know? Jeb, Jeb, there.
36:48
It's not like that. It's.
36:51
I know you think that I'm in it just for the money.
36:55
I understand that. I understand how you would think
36:57
that and how the things that I've done and the things that
37:01
you've witnessed would. Portray me in that light, but I
37:05
need you to look at me when I tell you I am just trying to
37:09
change things and I have to play along sometimes.
37:13
And I do actually care about you and other people, and that's
37:18
hard to admit sometimes. Really.
37:22
Would you say that we're. Friends I would.
37:27
Wow. So maybe before you call me an
37:31
evil corpo and. Think that everything I do is
37:34
for the money. Think about how your friend
37:36
would feel about that. And to be clear, you wouldn't
37:40
want that. To be clear, I would not want
37:42
that. Got it, got it.
37:44
Well then, yeah, I mean, I personally, I like this how you
37:49
it's a I understand it more. I appreciate you trying to level
37:55
with me reading the the pamphlets and the handbooks,
37:58
that's I can see that you've been making an effort.
38:02
Yeah, I thought maybe this way I I could, you know, try to try to
38:06
understand what's going on behind that big old brain of
38:08
yours. But I I think I'll get it now.
38:11
Good. You know, the the the veil has
38:13
been pierced. Good.
38:15
And I put out my hand to shake. But before I do, I press the
38:20
button on the ringlet so it produces a pink latex glove.
38:27
Fancy. And I put my hand out to.
38:29
Shake. And now also to be clear, you do
38:33
want to shake my hand. I do.
38:35
I would love to shake your hand. Well, I'll be damned.
38:39
And and. Jeb, like, grabs it with.
38:41
Fervor. And shakes it maybe a little too
38:44
hard and a little too aggressively.
38:48
Jeb, that's really good. You asked consent.
38:50
Well done, claps. Well, I think it's always
38:53
important to ask someone before. I mean, you know, there are
38:57
sometimes I've asked people before I shoot them.
38:59
Most of the time though they do not consent to the shooting, but
39:04
we do it anyway because you there's, you know, bigger forces
39:07
at play and what not. But.
39:09
That's a story. For another time.
39:11
Right. Well, I finished my drink Retro.
39:18
You all right? Cool.
39:22
Right. Well, maybe we can sober them up
39:25
in the car. Vivi, do you want to set up an
39:28
IV or are we not going to close the apartment?
39:30
I shouldn't be presumptuous. And we can go to close the
39:33
apartment now, or we can take a much needed break.
39:38
Yeah, I should probably go check on slow.
39:40
Poor girl. We have been at it nonstop,
39:45
back-to-back to back, so it might be good to take a a small
39:51
break, yeah. OK, good for the mental health,
39:55
not just the physical health, you know?
39:57
Go see Sloan. Go take a nap everyone.
40:01
You need it. I'm.
40:02
Going to feed my sea monkeys? You know, even the pamphlet says
40:06
that worker production does increase after a short break.
40:10
Oh, sorry, we're not doing that anymore.
40:13
I have some things I need to check on at home as well.
40:16
OK, well, so we'll see everybody here tomorrow morning.
40:21

40:27
I'm going to go home. See you guys tomorrow.
40:31
Iona will step out of the bar and call a car, stand in the
40:36
rain, Just wait for a car to show up and go back to the
40:40
apartment. A car approaches.
40:44
Are you doing stuff? Oh, I was just going to brew
40:47

40:52
Actually do stuff. No, I was just going to I we

41:02
his tea set. That's really nice.
41:05

41:07
cigarette. Try safe.
41:14

41:26
Thank you. Thank you.

given us those guns he was talking about.
43:09
What's going on? Good morning, Remy.
43:11
Good morning, Remy. It was a code.
43:13
One day I will have the real Hello cutie, mark my word.
43:17
No, stranger, No. Just no.
43:19
I remember we had a checklist. What's on the checklist for us
43:21
next to do what? Was the company that was
43:24
responsible. That was so good, Vendel.
43:27
I had no idea what's going to come out of your mouth.
43:29
Plans for the bio skin or. The Biotechnica stuff.
43:32
Have you been interacting with Claire?
43:34
Is Claire doing OK? There's nothing I can say.
43:36
I was recently addicted to send Coke.
43:38
I should really go check on Claire.
43:40
Well, the first the first one was just to wake up, so I was
43:43
mostly coffee with a little bit Irish.
43:45
I think you're pretty loaded right now.
43:47
Why? Why are we preaching?
43:49
There's no one here. Do we need to preach and clear
43:51
Claire's place? We could though.

Go ahead and preach and clear for fun.
