- 0:14It's a van V van. Iona.
- 0:16Max Sanitization. It's less of a burglary now,
- 0:19it's more of a hit and. Run.
- 0:20I truly needed it most. Quiet shot in and out, real
- 0:24easy. I'm going to spray and pray.
- 0:27Oh well. You can't kill Dave.
- 0:28I'm sorry. I didn't realize we were having
- 0:30a Dick measuring contest. Oh boy, mine's always bigger.
- 0:33Oh. No.
- 0:34Damn. Oh, we're at the eyeball.
- 0:36Fire away. I gave it up at 6.5.
- 0:38Oh shit, what I miss. I thought they were going to
- 0:40want a deal but I guess we only dealt in lead.
- 0:42Let's look for the body in a body bag.
- 0:46Should hide the. Hospital beds.
- 0:48Nobody here, but it's dead people.
- 1:00You're in this room, it's dark, it's the middle of the night
- 1:04because you decided to do this in the night.
- 1:06You're hiding from Doctor Dave as he's standing in the door
- 1:10wondering why the door that is locked is open, and he hangs up
- 1:14his phone. I thought this was locked.
- 1:20And he's now inspecting the door.
- 1:23You surmise you have a little time.
- 1:26Do you think that we could get out the door before it comes in?
- 1:29No. It might be our best bet.
- 1:31We. Still need one of the bodies.
- 1:36We could sneak back in. The window's broken, I We're
- 1:40taking too long, I. Could we just go out?
- 1:43The. Output or the input or whichever
- 1:461 gets us out of here. The door gets us out of here.
- 1:49What happens? To the What happens to the
- 1:51bodies that go in there though? There are two.
- 1:55There are two giant holes, two big receptacles at the end of
- 2:00the this room. 1 says input, one says output.
- 2:02What? What What the hell they do?
- 2:04Well, I'm sure that's why they put the bodies right, Right,
- 2:06Vivi? Yes, they're where the dead
- 2:09bodies go. And we don't want to be where
- 2:12the dead bodies go because they freeze the dead bodies.
- 2:16And we don't want to freeze that sounds.
- 2:18Cold. Very.
- 2:19True. Unless we're corpses.
- 2:21OK, sorry. All right.
- 2:23We, I think, I think it's too late for us.
- 2:27I I do do. I do do.
- 2:28Doctor Dave is in the room. He could just jump him.
- 2:31We could get your. Corrflamed and then we could.
- 2:34We could, we could like set it up so it looks like he banged
- 2:36his hand real bad. Yes, we could maybe try that.
- 2:41I I. Think, he said down on the desk.
- 2:46Hold on, I think I just got a text my.
- 2:50Phone just said while you're. Hiding shit I forgot to put my
- 2:59phone on shit and. While you're messing with your
- 3:04phone, underneath this cadaver table, you can see Doctor Dave
- 3:08trying to get the lights to turn on with a little remote.
- 3:11I fucking hate night mode. Why is it I I text Retro Doctor
- 3:23Dave is in here. We're hiding.
- 3:25I can't hear what everybody else is saying because they're in
- 3:27quiet voices and I'm stuck in a locker at the moment.
- 3:30So I texted the Is the Coast clear?
- 3:34It smells like expired Axe body spray in here.
- 3:38I reply dot dot dot no dot dot dot stay hidden, there's four.
- 3:49Bodies in here and and you watch doctor Dave walk to the middle
- 3:56of the room and start to turn towards the window that is
- 3:58smashed and may give you away I. Think it's time?
- 4:03Yeah, Rush, rush him. Go.
- 4:05Can. We just distract him.
- 4:07We could do it. He's nice.
- 4:08He is nice, Yeah, if we. Oh, I I have.
- 4:15I still have one of those hoods from the The Brain Dance.
- 4:18You have a fool's hood. I do.
- 4:22I do. I'm going.
- 4:25I knew how much they meant to you, so I took it.
- 4:33All right. Iona is going to well Doctor
- 4:37Dave has his back turned and and is facing the window about to
- 4:42notice going to put it on over his head.
- 4:47Roll for it. Sorry, this makes me nervous.
- 4:51It makes me nervous. So roll me something to sneak up
- 4:55behind him and then roll me something to put a bag over his
- 4:58head. Now it is a sneak attack, so you
- 5:00are going to get a bonus to this.
- 5:02All right, we're going to do. Where did it go?
- 5:05Because I don't just. Do a regular old stealth.
- 5:08Damn. Holy shit, yeah you will like
- 5:11the night Iona. That's a crate 31, like the
- 5:15night in the dark. Everyone is impressed.
- 5:19What can you say? Because I crit, I just smooth
- 5:22like like fog rolling under. A door slipped out from
- 5:28underneath the cadaver table and his lights go out as the hood
- 5:33has slipped over his head. Fuck those lights.
- 5:36Wait, what's what's what's what's?
- 5:39You. You're OK.
- 5:40You're OK, Doctor Dave. Huh.
- 5:41Who's the wait? Huh.
- 5:42How do you know my name? What's going on?
- 5:44And he's now spinning around in the room and he can't see.
- 5:49This is as far as I got, could somebody help me?
- 5:52I'll just bust out of the the locker, go up behind Doctor Dave
- 5:57and I'm going to firmly not to hurt kick the back of their
- 6:04knees. So they fall to their knees and
- 6:09twist their arm behind their back and try to tape up.
- 6:15I'm going to try to tape their arms together.
- 6:17Roll something to do that. Well, I mean, if anything,
- 6:20that's definitely going to be brawling, right?
- 6:22Yeah. It is 21.
- 6:25He rolls a 17. It's not enough and you knock
- 6:28him down and start to bind his arms together.
- 6:32He's trying to shake the hood off.
- 6:33Iona no Who? I, I, I'm not going to tighten
- 6:38this because I'm, I'm afraid you might strangle yourself, so I'm
- 6:41just going to hold it down. Yeah, we cannot.
- 6:44You, you can't be nice to him. We got to get our stuff and get
- 6:47out of here. The syntax gang doesn't deal
- 6:49with this. Right, right.
- 6:52Synapse. Right Synapse, I'm I'm just
- 6:57going to continue to hold this down so.
- 6:59Yeah, Boss Synapse, My boss, who is named Synapse.
- 7:03Yeah, I was. I was thinking maybe to change
- 7:06it to syntax, but maybe Synapse is better.
- 7:09It was here. Just use this tape and also tape
- 7:11it. Around.
- 7:11Yeah, that's right. We're here to rob you, isn't
- 7:14that right? Gang member with a Southern
- 7:17accent. Yeah, it sure is.
- 7:24Where? Did your accent go, brother?
- 7:27Shit, I mean, yes Sir, I. Don't.
- 7:32I don't know what I'm. Doing what I'm doing.
- 7:35Just use your accent chip, do you?
- 7:37Have it in your pocket. Talk normally.
- 7:40Oh, talk, talk normally. Oh, oh, that yeah, damn
- 7:45straight. Roll Stealth.
- 7:48What are we doing? You roll a 21 and you convince
- 7:53this person that you are not Jeb.
- 7:54And now he's still awake, but he's now struggling, slightly
- 7:58hog tied and kneeling on the floor in front of Iona while
- 8:01Retro finishes off the duct tape around their neck.
- 8:03To keep the hood on Iona you put the hood on backwards so he
- 8:06can't see through this as Retro so wraps duct tape around his
- 8:10neck to stop it from turning. OK gang, throw him in a locker.
- 8:17Yeah, here. Yeah.
- 8:18Shove him in the same locker I was in.
- 8:20No. Problem.
- 8:21I rolled the 10 Doctor Dave falls on you, Retro and you fall
- 8:25on the table and he's now trying to tackle you.
- 8:28I need you to roll a brawling check to avoid damage.
- 8:31This. Isn't going to look good for
- 8:32Doctor Dave. Got 18 he he hits you for five
- 8:39damage. Just elbow elbows you in the
- 8:42stomach. Get off me.
- 8:44I can fight. I'm going to kick him directly
- 8:47in the genitals. Nice.
- 8:49All right, That's a cheap shot. You know what happens when you
- 8:51get a cheap shot? Get one.
- 8:54Rock out. No, I have to protect.
- 8:56These dead people. And you rolled A20 on brawling.
- 9:00I rolled a four. That is not enough.
- 9:02And you hit him in the bulls, you hit him in the nads, in the
- 9:05genitalia area. It is it is it he don't.
- 9:08You don't break anything. But it definitely hurts this
- 9:10guy, I feel. Like I, I could have popped a
- 9:15peanut there, but you know. Popped a peanut is very funny.
- 9:21Are you going to leave this guy awake?
- 9:23We're putting him in the locker. Oh, OK.
- 9:25And then you know what? I'm also going to duct tape his
- 9:27feet now too. All right, you duct tape his
- 9:29feet, you put him in a locker, you push him between these lab
- 9:32coats and you shut it could. Have been a lot easier, but no,
- 9:36you just had to fight back. The door won't lock.
- 9:39I'll push Are these beds movable?
- 9:42Yes, the crate is lighter. Oh yeah, we'll just well for
- 9:46you. Remember, you're strong.
- 9:47The table will be a bastard to move is essentially what I'm
- 9:50getting at because it's bolted to the ground.
- 9:52Oh. Well, let's see, that's what I
- 9:53was wondering, if it was bolted the ground or not.
- 9:55Nope. Then yeah, I'll take a crate and
- 9:56I'll just wedge it, get underneath the handle or
- 9:59something, all. Right.
- 10:00You move the crate right in front of Doctor Dave and he is
- 10:03now stuck in that locker. You can hear him rattling around
- 10:07inside sometimes. Sorry boss, this is for the
- 10:13best. VB says very quietly.
- 10:17She doesn't say it louder, she just says under her breath.
- 10:24Phoebe, will you roll me a stealth check please?
- 10:29Honestly, I don't feel bad about this now after he just elbowed
- 10:34me in the solar plexus. Honestly, I'm I'm a little, I'm
- 10:39a little off kilter now. As the dust settles on this
- 10:43moment and Retro pushes the crate up, you will look over at
- 10:47the crate and you look back at each other and no one can see
- 10:51BB. Where's VV I'm.
- 10:57I'm here, Jeb. You look over to where that
- 11:00noise comes from and you see sort of a shimmer in the air.
- 11:02As it starts to refract, you can suddenly see VV.
- 11:05Oh. Right you the the invisibility
- 11:08thing. Oh, I'm seeing things.
- 11:11Yeah, yeah, I I have retro fitted me a cool invisibility
- 11:18mod. Retro.
- 11:20Fitted. Was that?
- 11:21Was that on purpose? Did you hear?
- 11:22That on purpose. Damn, that's good.
- 11:26That's good. Yeah, so I have some
- 11:34invisibility mod that's. Fucking cool.
- 11:38Damn. Yes, it is very cool, useful for
- 11:43the future now that we have this.
- 11:45Yeah, definitely. It's just, it's just like when I
- 11:48talk, it kind of moves. So it's not like foolproof, it's
- 11:52not like I. How do you have to stand really
- 11:53still? Yeah, yeah, I keep we.
- 11:58Keep getting this warbling effect every time whenever the
- 12:02vocal vibrations. This is really good.
- 12:05But but Phoebe, if you made it a contrasting color to the
- 12:07background and then were like singing karaoke, would your
- 12:09whole body vibrate like a sound wave?
- 12:13You know, we could try it. That would be cool, I think.
- 12:17Is that cool? That's pretty cool.
- 12:19When was the last time we all went out karaoke?
- 12:22You know, That's been a minute. When when the van got stolen, we
- 12:25went to the bar. But does the bar does?
- 12:29Does the bar have? Karaoke.
- 12:30I don't know. You run it, you tell me.
- 12:35I think we used to run it. Used to be every Monday.
- 12:37It used to be every Monday and you know, we just.
- 12:39Yeah, Monday nights at karaoke. And then I said, you know,
- 12:43Thursday. Now it's the day before the you
- 12:45know, Friday. Monday night at the Bubble
- 12:47Monday night at the Bubble Cafe is Slam poetry night.
- 12:51Right. Since yeah, that's why.
- 12:52They put on on Mondays. Snaps.
- 12:54Snaps for that. Yes, all right.
- 12:59Shall we? Should we grab one of these
- 13:01buddy bodies? Well, we should probably, yes.
- 13:07We let's take a look now in peace.
- 13:10No, no disturbances, no distractions.
- 13:14Let's take a look. All right, there are four bodies
- 13:18laid out in this room in body bags.
- 13:20These body bags can have a cryo tank added to the bottom in a
- 13:26sort of attachment fashion so that it can keep the body cool.
- 13:31These bodies are the freshest because they are still on the
- 13:33table. Well, these would be probably
- 13:38the freshest bodies, the ones out here on the tables.
- 13:42VB. Yes.
- 13:44Is there like a category, like a kind of categorizing system that
- 13:48you all kind of use, maybe on a computer or something?
- 13:52We do have APC, yes. There's one.
- 13:56Outside was there not? That was the wool computer for
- 14:00the dual. Right, there's.
- 14:02The one on the desk that's right over here.
- 14:04Yeah, I don't. I don't really do the
- 14:07categorizing much, but you could probably take a look.
- 14:10There might be something that can help you do.
- 14:12You have a password. No.
- 14:17Your password's no. That sounds like a password I'd
- 14:21have. No, I don't remember what the
- 14:24password is. You didn't like put it in your
- 14:28your agent or whatever. What's a?
- 14:31What's a password you use you like to use consistently?
- 14:33Just type that in. Watermelon Bubble gum drop 2537.
- 14:40Maybe you're going to type it in?
- 14:41Or should I? Just go ahead and type it.
- 14:45It's the watermelon is lowercase but the bubble gum is B and then
- 14:50the LS are two ones. OK, watermelon bubble gum.
- 14:56You want my number one? OK, does it work?
- 14:59Roll something. I mean, I I feel like it should
- 15:04because this is a civil job and they never changed their
- 15:07passwords except, you know, yearly.
- 15:10Electronics security tech yes, 31.
- 15:13It should have been changed by now, but Doctor Dave is lazy and
- 15:16has not changed it. And you get access to the system
- 15:18that's listing at the four bodies in this room.
- 15:21Great. Is there anything on here that
- 15:23could tell me anything about the bodies?
- 15:24Other than information about the bodies, for the record, there is
- 15:28also information on Doctor Dave's last order for a
- 15:31delivered food that didn't happen, but it is ultimately
- 15:36very uninterested. There are four bodies in here,
- 15:39Glenn, Jack Sparrow and John. Let's start with John.
- 15:46You open up John's file, John. John.
- 15:49John Doe. No test cavity.
- 15:50I think John Doe is usually when they like can't identify the
- 15:54body, so this could be anybody really.
- 15:59Also, nobody would potentially think missing that's a well.
- 16:04That's a good point. We'll keep that as a good mark.
- 16:06Also missing chest cavity. We're going to have to scoop out
- 16:09the insides anyways, so. Also a good point too.
- 16:14Some work taken care of, let me check out the 1st.
- 16:18One Glenn. No, not what?
- 16:27We need, yeah, we don't need a heart, do we?
- 16:29We already got one of them. Roll me for each of the bodies.
- 16:34Roll me a check of some description, medical or
- 16:37otherwise. Medical is easier to find out
- 16:39how this will affect Domino because this isn't about finding
- 16:43the correct body. This is about choosing a bonus
- 16:48for Domino VV. You rolled a 22 and so after
- 16:54reading through Glenn's stuff, you recognize that there's a lot
- 16:58of body mass in his weight and it would give him plus one to
- 17:02body. OK, this guy seemed a bit more
- 17:06like Muscular and Massey, so that might be good.
- 17:11Retro With your 16 you deduced that John Doe's body is missing
- 17:15a chest. Might be useful for extra flesh
- 17:19if you need it. Extra flesh.
- 17:24No, Jeb, you can't have the skin.
- 17:26Jeb roll resist torture drugs. Oh.
- 17:28Boy. 16 You resist the urge to eat this human that has no name.
- 17:38Man, I'm, I'm, I'll be honest, I'm real fucked up.
- 17:41That's, I mean, detestable. What's going through my head
- 17:44right now? And yet, is it biology or you
- 17:48know, is it my upbringing, the choices I made or, or is it not
- 17:55up to me? It's the drug you took, Jeb.
- 18:01Yeah, yeah. That's it.
- 18:02Yep, Yep. I mean, it's not like you're
- 18:05really, you know, pushing to want to do this kind of stuff,
- 18:08Jeb. It's not like you carry around a
- 18:10shaker of 11 herbs and spices to, you know, spice up whatever
- 18:15flesh you're deciding to eat, right?
- 18:18I'm going to have I do have them little packet of salt here, but
- 18:24that's it's normally it's for regular food.
- 18:28I'm just saying it. You know, the thought had
- 18:31occurred to me and I don't really like the called me out
- 18:34like that. Makes me seem even worse.
- 18:37I wasn't, I wasn't trying to call you out.
- 18:39I was trying to be more of like a so you're not so bad.
- 18:42And then you kind of turned it on itself.
- 18:44So now I look like. Now I feel ashamed.
- 18:47Well, I just feel like a lot of the, well, a lot of, you know, a
- 18:50lot of the restaurants around here now to see, they don't,
- 18:52they don't, they don't provide you with salt.
- 18:53You have to ask for it. And I don't, I just kind of cuts
- 18:56a little now. Says Jack.
- 18:58Yeah, yeah, yeah. Jeb, you are now hungry for
- 19:02food. You don't have to eat the the
- 19:04bodies in here, but you do want something to eat.
- 19:06But I am hungry. All right, Jeb.
- 19:09Well, why don't you go and find a snack?
- 19:12And Retro goes and checks Jack's fire.
- 19:15Jack's eye, No. No gold.
- 19:21Bladder all to find out what that means.
- 19:23I mean, I think it means he don't got a gallbladder.
- 19:26Retro. You have no idea what this
- 19:28means. I don't know what a gallbladder
- 19:30is. Vivi can can do a check to find
- 19:33out medical tech 23. It will give him plus one to
- 19:36reflex because he has less mass. Got a whole organ missing.
- 19:40I mean, gallbladders aren't necessary for day-to-day
- 19:46functions and you can live a pretty long normal healthy life
- 19:49without one. It might make him a little bit
- 19:54faster. It it makes drinking harder.
- 19:58That's I know. I don't have a gallbladder.
- 20:01How do you know her? I didn't know that.
- 20:03I don't. That's Canon now.
- 20:06It might make him a little faster, so that's good.
- 20:09Faster, huh? Jeb, are you checking lockers or
- 20:12a vending machine? Oh no, I'm I'm just trying to,
- 20:16I'm not really getting my nose in any of these because they
- 20:21smell too good. Except for that one.
- 20:23That one over there that smells disgusting.
- 20:26I don't know what's going on in that locker, but do not open it.
- 20:29And and Doctor, you can hear Doctor Dave start to panic.
- 20:31You think he may have soiled himself.
- 20:34And there's one file left all. Right, let's check Sparrow.
- 20:37You check Sparrow Sparrow. Sand filled lungs.
- 20:48No feet. Journey into the world of
- 21:04Frostborn, The newest arc of dungeons and randomness takes
- 21:09place 100 years after our last meaning it's a perfect time to
- 21:12jump into the show. A small group of adventurers
- 21:15embark on an epic tale of rebuilding and revenge in the
- 21:19magically frostbitten world of Tharia.
- 21:22They'll struggle to stay alive in harsh conditions as they call
- 21:25in every favor they have in order to get payback against a
- 21:29corrupt king. New audio and video episodes are

- 21:38Find us on Spotify, YouTube, or wherever you get your podcasts.
- 21:42The endless winter has finally come.
- 21:51Why? Why is sand filled lungs
- 21:54triggering something for me? Retro You rolled a 26 on
- 21:58education and you see the name, you see the cause of death and
- 22:03you open up your tile and do a little search in the garden the.
- 22:07Garden streamer's body has been found Sparrow stuns who
- 22:11attempted to swim in quicksand and unfortunately his body was
- 22:14lost for four weeks and CPD 2 second old foul play just too.
- 22:19Busy. That's awful.
- 22:23So not this one. OK.
- 22:26But with your education 26, you realize that Sparrow's skills
- 22:31are still pretty viable and they get plus one to DEX.
- 22:34You just have to replace the feet and lungs.
- 22:36Dexterity sounds good. The issue is is that this was a
- 22:40a famous garden person. So I'm if it's already been said
- 22:45about their death, then if you have Domino walking around with
- 22:48that face, there's going to be issues.
- 22:51I like this one anyway, The the the one that will give him, you
- 22:55know, the ability to. Jack.
- 22:58Yes, the one that oil like reflexes.
- 23:02Domino could dodge bullets. We want that.
- 23:05Not the, not the more jacked 1, you know.
- 23:08Doesn't Domino? Aren't we already going to
- 23:11install a sand division? Oh.
- 23:12Very true. So that what increases reflexes?
- 23:17I mean, can you really live without a gallbladder?
- 23:20But that's if we want to do an even spread.
- 23:21You know What's the dumpstep, everyone.
- 23:31OK. The Dumpstep's got to be feet.
- 23:34Who needs them, really? I purposely would say let's
- 23:38cross out Sparrow altogether. We don't need somebody who is
- 23:41even somewhat famous to be tracked back to Domino I.
- 23:45Completely agree, It's hard enough having Jeb on the team.
- 23:48Good boy. Yeah, I like, I like John Doe,
- 23:51because nobody knows who that is.
- 23:54However, they apparently don't have any special.
- 23:57VV rolled a crip failure and as you're saying this, VV leans
- 24:00back, puts their hand on John Doe's body bag and you hear the
- 24:05hip crush under her hand. Oh geez, that was an accident.
- 24:14At least he's dead. Yeah.
- 24:16God. I'm sorry, John Doe.
- 24:20He's not. Going to reply because you know
- 24:22he's dead. Just just making sure though,
- 24:24triple check in you know? Baby, I thought you're a medical
- 24:28professional. You got to be more careful.
- 24:30Yeah. He ain't going dancing anytime
- 24:32soon now. OK, maybe we don't do John Doe I
- 24:36I do like the idea of the anonymity, but I vote the Massey
- 24:45boy. Massey Boy.
- 24:47The big guy. Yes, yes.
- 24:49The big guy. Massive boy, yes.
- 24:52I vote mass over fast. Mass over fast.
- 24:57Big and lumbering. Yes.
- 25:00Look and take a hit. That's my vote, but if anybody
- 25:04else has a vote all. Right.
- 25:06So, so one for this guy Glenn. Glenn One. 5 You're right, I
- 25:11changed my vote. I vote Glenn.
- 25:13Glenn. That's two votes for Glenn.
- 25:15Glenn's the big boy are. You voting for Glenn as well,
- 25:18Jim? Is Glenn the big boy?
- 25:20Yes. Well then, yeah, I like, I like
- 25:22me a big boy. That's three for Glenn Retro.
- 25:27Do you? Do you want to vote
- 25:28ceremoniously? I mean, does my vote even
- 25:33matter? No.
- 25:34Technically. Genuinely no.
- 25:36Genuinely no. I could also however take my
- 25:41shotgun and shoot Glenn so that way that body is not possible to
- 25:45be used anymore. Unless you try and convince
- 25:47everyone the votes haven't closed yet.
- 25:50Ha ha, the. Polls are not closed.
- 25:53That's the one I don't do. I don't know.
- 25:56All right, but you're, you're all scooping them out.
- 25:58I I won't be but but thank you. Phoebe, you see, You see Glenn's
- 26:04body where it's referenced on the computer.
- 26:07It's just over here on the West side of the room.
- 26:10Oh, OK, he's right over there. And you go over to the body,
- 26:14open it up, and you notice that he's missing his right arm and
- 26:19he has massive head trauma. Cool.
- 26:23OK. You're still going to be able to
- 26:25use it, you're just going to have to borrow some parts from
- 26:28some of the other bodies. Oh.
- 26:30Boy, oh man, you know, I in college, they had us read.
- 26:37I took an English literature class.
- 26:40I had to read Mary Shelley's Frankenstein and tonight I take
- 26:49some of that and apply it here. You're making your own
- 26:55Frankenstein. We are going to have to assemble
- 26:58some pieces together. OK, you know.
- 27:03OK guys, I have to say something.
- 27:05I've secretly always wanted to do this.
- 27:07So. Bebe.
- 27:11This is my moment to put together the perfect life form.
- 27:18Oh my gosh, Bebe, please, I need you to take a step down, off,
- 27:25off of whatever platform you are you are heading onto because you
- 27:30you're flying a little too close to the sun.
- 27:33This is it. Oh, the Lightning 0.
- 27:37Yes. Yes.
- 27:39Was that not funny? Iona, I'm really sorry you're
- 27:41giving me the look of that. You're just bleeding into her.
- 27:47The illusions of grandeur, please.
- 27:50All right. I mean, I'm all for it.
- 27:52I've always also wanted to retro build a Frankenstein.
- 27:56Go to John Doe. Oh, right.
- 27:58Can you can you unzip and take a look at his arms?
- 28:04Definitely can't take his hip, so sure.
- 28:06Where's John Doe? He's the He's one of the few
- 28:08that isn't bleeding on the floor like the other two.
- 28:10Can I explore while they're chopping up bodies?
- 28:13Absolutely. I heard they were vending
- 28:16machines and I'm feeling a little.
- 28:18Peckish. All right, so Phoebe, you head
- 28:21over to a little station in one of the lockers to wash your
- 28:25hands and do your basic medical thing, and Iona heads to the
- 28:30hallway Outside. You're staring at a vending
- 28:34machine. I'm very tired and I'm very
- 28:40hungry. I forgot that we were going to
- 28:43be doing this in the middle of the night, so I didn't pack
- 28:46anything. What's in the vending machine?
- 28:51The vending machine I've made an automatic table for, so all you
- 28:57have to do is roll me AD 63 on offer today. 1 bottle.
- 29:02Of hand sanitizer, cryo. Pack holographic memorial kit.
- 29:06People stale so it's on sale. What is the cryo pack?
- 29:18The cryo pack is the attachment for the body bag to keep the
- 29:23body stable in transit. Oh.
- 29:27Why would they need to buy their own supplies?
- 29:30Because this is Night City and a horrible dystopian future.
- 29:34Awful. I'm I'm just going to, can I
- 29:36roll for all of all three of the vending machines I see before
- 29:39me? Yes, roll me another 2D6.
- 29:42Wham bam, about a six and a four.
- 29:45You did roll. A6.
- 29:48Wham I? Did so the first one has on
- 29:50offer today. Recycled letty gel Holographic
- 29:55memorial kit. Collectible black Bitcoin cryo
- 29:59pack on offer today. Glow sticks neutral based
- 30:04worrying it's expired on offer today. 1 bottle of hand
- 30:09sanitizer. 1 bottle of hand sanitizer. 1 bottle of hand
- 30:13sanitizer. I'm so glad there's so much hand
- 30:18sanitizer. I should stock up and I'm what?
- 30:22What is a memorial chip? A.
- 30:24Memorial chip is a holographic static hologram you can get of
- 30:28the deceased to remember them by and it can record something they
- 30:34said if you have that as well. This might come in handy.
- 30:37I will. I'll grab one of those.
- 30:38I don't want to, but I will grab an expired nutrapace and a
- 30:43bottle of hand sanitizer. How much nutri paste do you buy?
- 30:47Because there's two. I'm just doing 1.
- 30:49I don't cook that much. I can't put that much expired
- 30:53product inside my body. So you grab the Nutri paste.
- 30:58It is your favorite flavour. Bland.
- 31:00The hand sanitizer bottle, the Nutri paste and the holographic
- 31:05memorial chip. Come to 225 Eddies.
- 31:11Great. Back in the morgue, OK.
- 31:19As you're looking down at the body, roll me a check to see if
- 31:23you can work out what parts are salvageable.
- 31:27OK. 27 The head that John has is very salvageable.
- 31:32It's big enough to fit the brain that you got the arms, however,
- 31:36because there's no chest cavity, and when I say no chest cavity,
- 31:39I don't think the computer really expressed what that
- 31:41means. I mean there is nothing from
- 31:43just below the armpit to the hips.
- 31:45There is literally nothing there.
- 31:48Oh so he's a 2 parter? Yes.
- 31:52Oh, I don't. I don't think that body was
- 31:53viable anyway. Vivi, I think you're good.
- 31:56OK, all right, forget that one. Go check check the other one.
- 32:02I mean, I could still use parts that we need, like the head.
- 32:10The feet is what we're also missing.
- 32:13This one isn't missing feet. I don't.
- 32:15This one's just missing an arm and a head.
- 32:18Well it's got 2 arms and a head, it's just missing titties down
- 32:22to treasure trail. No.
- 32:25Which arm does it? Which arm do you need, the left
- 32:27or the right? We don't want to give them like
- 32:28two of the same one, right? No, no, we're that's an amateur
- 32:33mistake retro. We would never just just check
- 32:38the other body all. Right.
- 32:40I'll go check Jack. Yeah.
- 32:43Roll for it. Same.
- 32:45All right, same roll. It's gonna say the exact same
- 32:47thing. 32 Nice, yes, as you're looking over Jack's body, you
- 32:51notice he is missing an eye. But he's missing an eye because
- 32:54the eye was stolen was pulled out of his face post mortem.
- 33:00You can tell by the way that the cyberpunk eye socket is
- 33:04positioned. He's missing his left hand and
- 33:08again there is a scar on his abdomen where his gallbladder
- 33:11was removed. OK.
- 33:14So the gallbladder was removed before that.
- 33:17So he's missing his left hand and and Glenn.
- 33:23Which arm is Glen missing? Roll me a medical check so you
- 33:28don't mess this up. Oh boy, he's.
- 33:36Missing his He's missing his left arm.
- 33:40No. He's missing his left arm VB.
- 33:44He's he's missing his left arm, OK.
- 33:48You're facing. It's the arm on the left.
- 33:51It's the arm on the left. Just put your hands up.
- 33:54Does it make an L? So we need he's missing his
- 33:58left, so we need left. Well, this one's also missing
- 34:08the left hand. Wait, so what's left?
- 34:12OK, so that's that's not going to work.
- 34:16I'm going to groan just how good that was, Jeff.
- 34:19That was very. Good.
- 34:21OK, we should. And then his.
- 34:27You said his head was messed up. That their eye is missing.
- 34:31But here's the question, do we already have cyber eye stuff for
- 34:36them already or should we just take the head of WE?
- 34:39Do we do already have that stuff?
- 34:40Yes. Yeah, Yeah, yeah, yeah.
- 34:42That, that that's easier to get. That's.
- 34:44All the cyberware stuff, yeah, we got that.
- 34:46So we take the head of Jack. The head of Jack.
- 34:49The arm of John. The arm of John.
- 34:53This sounds like some sort of ritual.
- 34:56Head of Jack, arm of John put them together.
- 35:00What do you get? And then it's on.
- 35:01I did a rhyme. Yes, was.
- 35:07There anything else that was missing?
- 35:11No, there's nothing else missing, but what else could we
- 35:14add to it for a little extra? Let's just see if there's any
- 35:20other useful parts we can add. To this body if maybe we maybe
- 35:26we take the AB musculature of Sparrow because I'm sure they
- 35:30probably have like at least a six pack.
- 35:33This this one's pretty beefy. Yeah, Glenn's really strong.
- 35:38He's missing a heart, but you have a heart, so it doesn't
- 35:39matter. Now when we say like Glenn's
- 35:42beefy, like be strong man beefy or a strong man like.
- 35:47His dead body will be able to support the two extra arms that
- 35:49you want to install. It is the beefiest of all of
- 35:51them. He is the big boy.
- 35:53No, I know, but I'm I'm asking like is it is it like big like
- 35:56big muscle man or is it like dock worker big beefy?
- 36:00He is kind of rugby dude. Huge.
- 36:04Oh. Alright, alright, this is good.
- 36:10This is good, alright. If you want to check the
- 36:13lockers, roll AD 6. Otherwise, roll a medical check
- 36:16to start cutting these bodies up.
- 36:18You know what? Let's just get to work.
- 36:21It's time. I'm I'm I'm gonna check the the
- 36:23lockers. Cool.
- 36:24While he's doing that, check the lockers.
- 36:27For each side you can roll 3D6. Sorry.
- 36:30For the West side you can roll 3D6.
- 36:32For the east side you can roll 2D6 because there's a guy in one
- 36:36of them. Individually.
- 36:38No in total for the whole row 9. Roll me a medical check there
- 36:42BB. Yes.
- 36:45A. Medical check 21 Yes BB You go
- 36:48around the room and you surgically remove the parts that
- 36:51you need from those bodies, taking the incorrect arm and
- 36:56bringing it over to the body, the head.
- 36:58As you remove Glen's head, carefully disconnecting the
- 37:02vertebrae, you start stitching them up and as you as you go to
- 37:05do this, you notice you have the wrong arm.
- 37:07You're going to have to roll another medical check to get the
- 37:09right arm from John. Shit.
- 37:12But not the right arm. The left arm, yeah.
- 37:15No, it doesn't matter. Look.
- 37:17This is a rookie mistake. You should have done the L thing
- 37:21with your fingers. I did all right.
- 37:27One moment, just. You go over to John's body and
- 37:34as you go to cut it open, you cut into a a pressurized tube on
- 37:39one of his pieces of cyberware that snakes through his shoulder
- 37:43and it spurts green fluid all over you.
- 37:45It's hydraulic fluid. Oh God.
- 37:48Oh. I watch station.
- 37:51I watch station. Yes, yes, please.
- 37:56It's a good thing that Sparrow's got 2 arms.
- 37:58Holy shit, Phoebe. I'm just a little nervous, OK?
- 38:03I'm sorry. It's.
- 38:04My first time building a. Body.
- 38:07Do you want a hand? Iona, you walk into the room
- 38:09watching VV get covered in hydraulic fluid from a dead
- 38:13body. Oh, and and that's why I did not
- 38:18want to be in here. Yes, well the surgery is still
- 38:22underway. Iona, you may want to sit in the
- 38:25corner to. Observe.
- 38:28Observe my. Specimen.
- 38:30I I don't want to observe your specimen VV I I'd rather sit in
- 38:34the waiting room, but this is. This is a scientific project.
- 38:40We're not in an operating theatre.
- 38:44You look at Phoebe, she's got surgical gloves on.
- 38:48She's got like a huge green spatter streak across her right
- 38:51side. This is this is science, Ayona.
- 38:56You don't want to witness science and history being made.
- 39:02Science. All right, fine, you can wait in
- 39:06the waiting room. We're just having a small.
- 39:11Pick up. It's an ARM problem.
- 39:15It's an opportunity. But we have plenty of arms to
- 39:18spare. So what?
- 39:20What? We have one arm to spare.
- 39:21What do you mean you're having an arm problem?
- 39:26Don't worry about it. OK, I got a crazy idea.
- 39:29Hear me out. All right doc, if we need to use
- 39:32another right hand, what if we just take the thumb and and take
- 39:38it off and then put it on the other side?
- 39:40Well, there's still one right arm.
- 39:42If if they crip fail again, we'll have to do that.
- 39:44All right, I'm just saying we don't need.
- 39:45Brandy, we need everybody. Relax and just let me
- 39:49concentrate one more time. I'm.
- 39:54Rolling. As as Phoebe gets more fervent,
- 39:57you swear you can hear like organ music for no reason.
- 40:01Please put that in the background.
- 40:06Roll me a medical check, roll me surgery if you can.
- 40:09Yes, please. OK. 16 Yes, you pull the correct
- 40:14arm off Sparrow and attach it to Glenn's body, or rather put it
- 40:19in the bag. You have all the parts of all
- 40:21the human body parts you need to make yourself a full on
- 40:26dominant. All right now if you all would
- 40:30like to sit and observe while I begin work on very carefully
- 40:37crafting these pieces together to make sure the domino has the
- 40:42perfect body ready. Phoebe not to kill the vibe, but
- 40:47like most of the parts are at the bar.
- 40:50You're right, this could wait. We don't have to stitch
- 40:54everything together now. So, so with that, we should grab
- 40:59some of this equipment so I can get everything ready and we
- 41:02should head to the bar. Next time on no latency.
- 41:21The last pieces are here. Several, unfortunately.
- 41:25So we just need to get one gig of Joule of energy really.
- 41:28We get a bunch of hamsters or. Storm.
- 41:30Should be able to in a storm. How are we supposed to
- 41:34deactivate or or redirect the energy?
- 41:37Set up some explosives and Bing bang kaboom it's.
- 41:40Still very dangerous. What's your insurance like?
- 41:44I appreciate you at least hearing me out.
- 41:46So what's the plan? Flying.
- 41:48I mean, like, I'm not especially good at flying stuff, you
- 41:50understand? We can do this from the top down
- 41:53or we can do it from the bottom up.
- 41:55And then blow it up. I occasionally glance over to
- 41:57see how the rest of them are doing as I work on my specimen.
- 42:00I thought we weren't blowing it up.
- 42:01I thought we were just hitting the emergency shut off.
- 42:04That's emergency Plan C. If you don't mind, I'm going to
- 42:06hang up now because I'm very busy.
- 42:08Let's put Operation Raincoat into effect.
- 42:11Everybody hold on to their butts.
- 42:13A little steadier, please. Thank you for joining us on our
- 42:49adventure once again here at No Latency.
