  Last time on no latency. Now just just to make sure I.
• 0:06
  Can't even see them coming. See Jeb?
• 0:09
  I'm burning up. I'm flaming.
• 0:10
  We got to put out the flames. I just made this suit.
• 0:13
  Dang they. Got it out for retro.
• 0:15
  Dodge Vandal. Dodge Vandal.
• 0:17
  Great job, Vandal. Who's on fire now, bitch?
• 0:19
  But now look what you done, Hunter look.
• 0:21
  Put the collector down and we can figure this out.
• 0:24
  I think ruining your day is top priority.
• 0:26
  Listen, this is not what I was hoping for.
• 0:28
  You were you moved just a second Well, Hunters missing part of
• 0:31
  their job. This will help.
• 0:33
  Ruin their career. I'm going to shoot Jessica.
• 0:35
  I know I blew her back out. Stop dropping roll.
• 0:38
  It's a lot of damage. He does kind of seem like a cat
• 0:40
  person, though. Don't he does seem like a cat
• 0:42
  person? Are we in trouble?
• 0:43
  We're not in trouble. All right, whatever drift you're
• 0:45
  throwing, I'll. Catch you.
• 0:46
  This is my assistant, Claire Jones.
• 1:00
  Claire, could you please deal with I believe Hunter Chen has
• 1:05
  been horribly disfigured. They'll get over it.
• 1:09
  I'm. Sure, you could make sure that
• 1:10
  she gets to hospital. They have insurance, right?
• 1:14
  Probably not. Claire looks at Mr. Carrigan and
• 1:18
  Iona. Is this actually Claire Jones?
• 1:21
  Do you say that out loud? No, I'm asking you the GM.
• 1:25
  Role Perception 14 you notice that on the side of her head is
• 1:30
  a different model of BD implant. Who's Claire Jones again?
• 1:37
  I may have forgotten. Last time we saw Claire, she was
• 1:41
  in our bar. Oh yeah, And she had a little
• 1:44
  shoes. Little.
• 1:46
  Yes, yeah. Hi, Claire.
• 1:49
  How are you? Hello, Mr. Pippet.
• 1:52
  That's all right. Mr. Popesky was my dad.
• 1:54
  But. Mr. Popesky is my father.
• 2:00
  Sorry the slip, I'm I'm doing well.
• 2:04
  Thank you for asking. I just stare intently, waiting
• 2:08
  for her to do something. Was the disfigured human the
• 2:12
  only thing that you needed me to do, Mr. Kerrigan?
• 2:15
  Yes, that's all for now. Please make sure that the.
• 2:20
  The driveway downstairs is clear for our guests.
• 2:23
  Of course, Mr. Kerrigan. Goodbye everyone.
• 2:28
  Hold on, Claire. Claire.
• 2:30
  Yes, just one second. You you have an eyelash near
• 2:33
  your eye. Just let me get that real quick.
• 2:35
  Don't touch me. Have a nice day.
• 2:38
  I can't even persuade. Roll Persuasion.
• 2:41
  Claire seems off. Very off. 20 oh.
• 2:48
  But of course my appearance is important as I am wearing this
• 2:53
  dress. So yes, you may remove it from
• 2:56
  my face. OK, I'd like to remove it and at
• 2:59
  the same time maybe try to lift the eye a little bit to see if
• 3:02
  maybe I can see lettering underneath.
• 3:05
  You wipe your finger underneath her eye and brush this imaginary
• 3:11
  eyelash away. However, this is your new cyber
• 3:14
  hand. And it can absorb certain
• 3:17
  materials, and you get a sample of her sweat and extreted
• 3:23
  glands. As she pulls away from you and
• 3:26
  walks down the corridor, your hand starts to process the
• 3:33
  compound. You will get a result in a few
• 3:35
  moments. Retro your hand is thirsty.
• 3:38
  Yeah, I didn't know. I I I guess I haven't fed it for
• 3:42
  the day. Claire seems a little off, no?
• 3:49
  No, that is not my that is not my assistant.
• 3:52
  I don't know who the fuck that is.
• 3:54
  Wait. OK, good.
• 3:56
  That's what I thought you were trying to say to me.
• 3:58
  Yes, No, with the knowing look and you know the cliffhanger on
• 4:01
  the previous moments. We're letting them work for you
• 4:03
  even though they're not your assistant.
• 4:05
  Well, it might be dangerous to confront them head on until we
• 4:09
  know what they want. What the corpus said.
• 4:11
  OK. I guess that makes sense.
• 4:14
  What is more troubling is I was told that I was here while I was
• 4:18
  away. Oh, when was that?
• 4:20
  That I visited for a brief period of time while I was off
• 4:24
  doing errands outside of the city.
• 4:27
  Apparently the cat scratched me, but as you can see, my cat has
• 4:32
  done nothing. Mr. Kerrigan, is there a reason
• 4:37
  why you can? Is there a reason you believe
• 4:42
  someone would want to replace you at this moment?
• 4:44
  Oh, it is probably the robots trying to take over the world.
• 4:50
  And what do you offer them? Well, I am in a position of
• 4:53
  power. If they were to just jump on us
• 4:55
  like in some stupid Matrix movie, we would revolt against
• 4:58
  them almost instantly. But integrating themselves into
• 5:02
  society by overtaking individuals is probably a very
• 5:07
  good plan. And so I suspect they have been
• 5:10
  experimenting with replacing humans and then influencing the
• 5:13
  people that that original human has also influenced.
• 5:18
  So my personal influence with groups is kind of limited to
• 5:22
  this building and making lots of money.
• 5:26
  How often do you find yourself going through a security measure
• 5:29
  to confirm that it is you coming in the building and not a
• 5:33
  doppelganger? I just walk in, so never.
• 5:38
  Not for me, no. You might need to start
• 5:41
  implementing well. Perhaps actually, that is a good
• 5:44
  point. I was going to say it would be
• 5:46
  suspicious for me to start doing that now.
• 5:49
  Well, have you encountered many of these counterfeit
• 5:53
  doppelgangers? Other than the obvious, not
• 5:56
  human that Claire is right now, no Mr. Cowboy jab.
• 6:00
  But like, I'm just wondering, is there like a telltale sign other
• 6:03
  than I guess them being? Devoid of emotion that seemed to
• 6:09
  be kind of Claire's old. Neal, your hand Dings.
• 6:12
  Oh, something's finished. And then you get a readout from
• 6:17
  your ticket. Now, Mr. Gergen, would you know
• 6:26
  how? How do we know if we ourselves
• 6:29
  have been doppelganger? Could I be?
• 6:35
  Robot. I now know it.
• 6:37
  No. All right.
• 6:38
  Well, that clears that up. Appreciate that.
• 6:40
  Thank you, Sir. There could be clones of us out
• 6:42
  there. Yes, in theory.
• 6:45
  Although the risk of releasing a clone into the world when the
• 6:47
  original is still there is large, discovery of set plot is
• 6:53
  inevitable in that situation, which I imagine is why Claire
• 6:59
  Jones's apartment was ruined. And I hear that the window was
• 7:02
  broken, The rug I got her ruined.
• 7:07
  Yeah. Sometimes we do make misses.
• 7:09
  It was a lovely rug. Sometimes it happens, but what
• 7:14
  you're saying is that it's not that if we find a doppelganger,
• 7:18
  then the original is either dead or captured.
• 7:23
  Oh yes, almost definitely. Which means for the most part.
• 7:28
  Even your friends you should probably be weary of for a
• 7:31
  while. Jeb starts like his hand slowly
• 7:34
  goes towards his holster, and he's looking.
• 7:37
  At not Cowboy, not the people in this room.
• 7:40
  It is fairly obvious from the conversation, and when Claire
• 7:43
  left, the conversation continued that we are all human.
• 7:46
  Well, you know, just being. No chap chap.
• 7:50
  He's right. So we're good then?
• 7:53
  Yeah, no, you're good. My my tune.
• 7:57
  Cardito Erosam, Jeb. Is that Spanish?
• 8:01
  What did your hand say? Retro.
• 8:04
  Well, my ticker tape from my hand has said, oh boy, remember
• 8:11
  that bioskin we were supposed to get but we didn't get from the
• 8:15
  lab that we blew up just recently with the giant Beastie
• 8:21
  thing? Yeah.
• 8:23
  Yeah, Claire is just made of that.
• 8:27
  Oh, hey, didn't we need to get a skin suit for Domino?
• 8:32
  We did. You're saying we take the skin
• 8:35
  off of the fake Claire? No, we need the original
• 8:38
  compound. I think what Betro's getting at
• 8:40
  is that Claire's a clone robot. I think.
• 8:44
  Yes. No, I think we all got that.
• 8:45
  Even me. We need to find out where
• 8:48
  they're making these copies. Well, I believe they are making
• 8:54
  them in different parts, collecting them together and
• 8:57
  then doing the download. Well.
• 9:00
  If we need to be wary of people disappearing and being replaced,
• 9:04
  why are you still here? We have been locked up in this
• 9:07
  building for long enough for me to discern that you are the
• 9:10
  humans that you claim to be. And as we separate from this
• 9:14
  moment, this may be the last time that any of us is all
• 9:18
  together as human. No.
• 9:20
  Why are you still alive? I think they mean more.
• 9:22
  So if there's a clone of you existing, how are you here also?
• 9:29
  I feel like I am being watched more than anything else.
• 9:32
  Claire being here is evidence of that.
• 9:36
  So that's why you feel in danger with this very strange Claire.
• 9:42
  Yes, acting very serious and monotone.
• 9:47
  Also, the cat does not like her. That's actually a good sign.
• 9:52
  Cats are smart like that. Yeah, we should use this.
• 9:56
  The cat. To find it through the face.
• 9:59
  Most animals would be able to do that if you are lucky enough to
• 10:02
  have an animal with you. Mr. Ki, feel like there's
• 10:10
  something we should tell you. What is that?
• 10:14
  We we have the real Claire. We found her.
• 10:19
  When she was alive. She's alive, she's safe, but
• 10:23
  she's recovering from a lot of mental traumas that have
• 10:30
  affected her. Yes indeed.
• 10:36
  So yeah, I don't know what we should do about this other one
• 10:42
  though. For now, I think it is best for
• 10:45
  me to continue to do business as normal.
• 10:49
  I have a full quarter of a year before I have to do anything
• 10:53
  significant in society I can say and stay low until then.
• 10:59
  Also, I need to get the blood out of the rug in the auction
• 11:01
  room, but I understand from your paying friend that you are in
• 11:10
  need of. Parts for these things the the
• 11:13
  what the Syndicate is making. Yep, that is true.
• 11:17
  Yep, we have quite a laundry list of things that we need to
• 11:20
  get, including that skin. Well, the skin is biotechnica.
• 11:26
  You will have to find it from them.
• 11:30
  We're working on it. Yes.
• 11:32
  Also, we said before that's low on the totem park because we
• 11:35
  really kind of know where we can get that, but the other stuff
• 11:39
  like that. Body frame.
• 11:42
  Yeah, the main body frame. Well, I know where the body
• 11:44
  frame is made. Oh, you do?
• 11:46
  Oh. That's very helpful.
• 11:49
  Go on Retro to say I'm I'm dressed like a detective because
• 11:55
  I really didn't think this through.
• 11:58
  Your suit's so pro and and I've got ear flaps.
• 12:03
  What was I thinking? I can't do this.
• 12:09
  I don't know why you're interrupting me.
• 12:10
  Just put me in the fet of giggles.
• 12:12
  Is it because I'm doing flappy ears?
• 12:15
  Yeah, it's very distracting. I'm trying to be serious here.
• 12:19
  I'm. I am femme fatale.
• 12:20
  I'm femme Fatale. Retro Rail.
• 12:23
  How cool is I Am Femme Fatale? So cool.
• 12:28
  Now where is the body frame? Where can we find it?
• 12:33
  Oh yes, the body frame. It is in a underwater lab out in
• 12:38
  the ocean near a oil rig. I can give you the coordinates.
• 12:43
  I have a friend of a connection of a friend who works at the
• 12:47
  docks who may be able to vote you to the location.
• 12:53
  So we did space, and now we have to do underwater.
• 12:57
  It's a water level, Mr. Kerrigan.
• 13:03
  Yes, I have two proposals for you.
• 13:08
  Go on the first one. Do you know what a safe word is?
• 13:13
  Oh yes. I work in high society.
• 13:16
  Most of these fucking people are kinky.
• 13:18
  Have you met Keith? Well, I think that because you
• 13:24
  and I work so closely that it might be good for us to have a
• 13:31
  safe word that proves to one another that we are who we are.
• 13:37
  It's. A good idea?
• 13:38
  Wait a second. What?
• 13:40
  Have I heard your voice before? Never mind.
• 13:43
  Yes. Safe word.
• 13:46
  So stop. Stop sussing me.
• 13:51
  I don't know why you're sussing me.
• 13:52
  Sorry, it's it's just it's like I.
• 13:56
  It's like I've heard your voice before.
• 13:57
  Maybe you did television or something.
• 14:00
  I mean, I've heard of you, my honor, but I've never heard you
• 14:02
  speak in person and. Sauce.
• 14:07
  Well, trust me, this will be important.
• 14:11
  Right. What word would you prefer?
• 14:13
  Something that's subtle but you can fit into normal
• 14:19
  conversation. How about the name of one of
• 14:24
  your weapons? The.
• 14:25
  Superchrome on your hip is very fashionable.
• 14:29
  That phrase. The superchrome on your hip is
• 14:31
  very fashionable. If you would like it to be a
• 14:34
  phrase we also could have like emergency one that is just
• 14:37
  Superchrome. Yes, I suppose if you're yelling
• 14:40
  Superchrome at me, I will know. Quite, but yes, something that
• 14:45
  we can fit directly into conversation.
• 14:48
  It's all phrase I like it. Everyone else, Please remember
• 14:52
  that. What's the return phrase?
• 14:56
  Then quite that is a very good point.
• 14:58
  So it's that super Chrome on your belt looks very
• 15:03
  fashionable. Yes.
• 15:05
  Is that a super Chrome in your pocket or you just have to see?
• 15:08
  I just freshly polished it. I just freshly polished it.
• 15:12
  Very good Remy. Very good, safe reply.
• 15:20
  Safe word and safe reply. The other thing Yes, and I look
• 15:28
  at the group. Do we kidnap the fake Claire
• 15:30
  Jones? Yes, please.
• 15:34
  I would prefer if you did not do that now.
• 15:37
  But can't we learn like a lot from that?
• 15:39
  I imagine we can really get in there and they're.
• 15:42
  Doing some research. I mean, I'm.
• 15:45
  Going to be honest, if we we kidnap them, we do have a small
• 15:50
  advantage of gaining some potential information to the
• 15:57
  point of where you know the ethics of humanoid to robotic
• 16:01
  would then take us. But if we do also, we don't know
• 16:05
  their capabilities and then thus alerts whoever they work for.
• 16:09
  That now we have captured them and that we have set information
• 16:14
  indeed. Now along that line of thinking,
• 16:17
  look, I'm no cyber tech, I I don't know the ins and outs of
• 16:21
  these kinds of things. But do you think if we kidnap
• 16:23
  them and then we can like hack into their brain or something,
• 16:26
  we could like get into the mainframe of of the other other
• 16:31
  people and maybe even you know find out where they came from
• 16:35
  something, I don't know. Is this sound crazy?
• 16:37
  It's it's not a terrible plan, but it is also a requirement of
• 16:41
  having Zenat Rana, you know, and also maybe closer to the
• 16:46
  mainframe. That would be a big problem from
• 16:49
  this distance. Do you think?
• 16:50
  I mean like they must be connected via some sort of
• 16:55
  Internet or something, right? Oh, I suspect more than one
• 16:59
  person is a like clone, replacement, Sentinel, whatever
• 17:04
  you want to call them. But we know for sure this one
• 17:06
  is, so why don't we namble? Because the other ones might be
• 17:11
  watching, I would prefer not to reveal my hand so soon.
• 17:13
  Mr. Jeb Cowboy, we have eyes on this one, so it's not yes, like
• 17:21
  they're going anywhere. And perhaps at night, when there
• 17:24
  is not so many people here, maybe a little bit after
• 17:27
  Halloween. Yes, perhaps we keep up this
• 17:30
  facade for now. Keep an eye on it and let us
• 17:33
  know if. Anything changes, and
• 17:38
  eventually, though it might be good to look into this more this
• 17:41
  false Claire. False Claire.
• 17:44
  That is a good nickname for her. I like that.
• 17:47
  That's. Good.
• 17:47
  Yes. Excellent.
• 17:48
  Claire poster No, that. That's nothing.
• 17:52
  That's nothing. No, you know what I think that
• 17:54
  was? That was a valiant try, I think.
• 17:57
  Doppel. Claire.
• 17:58
  No. I think he got it the first
• 18:01
  time. You're right.
• 18:03
  So here is the address of the friend I have down at the docks
• 18:10
  place called rates, Rates. Yes RATES.
• 18:17
  Rates as in the last name of the person who works there is rate.
• 18:23
  Cool. Out of 10, would you say?
• 18:24
  Is the score? No, that's.
• 18:26
  Bad 10 out of 10. That's bad.
• 18:29
  That was nothing. I I thinking that is very funny.
• 18:32
  Haha. Very good cowboy, You can't.
• 18:36
  Hear them all. Anyway, it is very late in the
• 18:40
  evening. I'm sure you need to leave it's.
• 18:43
  Been a long day. Thank you for your purchases.
• 18:49
  Yes. Once you have the body frame, I
• 18:52
  will have more information on your next target.
• 18:54
  We look forward to it. We love going on jobs and.
• 18:59
  Missions and such. Yes, it is what you are all
• 19:02
  famous for. At least in my circles, Mr. Job
• 19:05
  Cowboy. Darn Tootin.
• 19:08
  That is on brand and liking that.
• 19:11
  Slap some bacon on biscuit and stay out of here, huh?
• 19:14
  Yes. Romingus walks out.

  place. Yeah, I'm.
• 20:30
  That was a lot. It's been a long day.
• 20:32
  Yeah, we did a lot. We solved a lot.
• 20:36
  And we grew closer as friends. I smoked a lot of cigarettes.
• 20:41
  You really did. I went through almost my entire
• 20:44
  pack. I'm gonna probably need another.
• 20:47
  I would like to check on Claire. Yes, I will join.
• 20:51
  Iona and Vivi, you head down the stairs together and you open the
• 20:57
  door, and there is Claire, awake at 1:30 in the morning playing
• 21:03
  solitaire. Hey, the Aces are just.
• 21:06
  Hidden from me? This fucking sucks.
• 21:12
  I guess the games aren't going very better for you, Claire.
• 21:17
  I'm only I'm only winning about 33% of them.
• 21:22
  Hi guys how can I help? Just wanted to see how you were
• 21:26
  doing. Yeah, no, I'm all right.
• 21:29
  The solitaire helps, the headaches don't.
• 21:31
  Do you want it? Do you want any other games
• 21:35
  like, I don't know, we have like video games and stuff that might
• 21:39
  be more fun. Well, it might be nice to like
• 21:43
  get that that BD thing. Yeah.
• 21:48
  And I can like do therapy through that or something it's.
• 21:51
  Actually a good idea. OK.
• 21:53
  Well, that'd be nice. I mean there won't be any places
• 21:55
  open right now, so. We'll have to.
• 21:57
  Do something else to that later. But yeah, I'm OK.
• 22:03
  Like all the memories came back, but they're all in the wrong
• 22:05
  order. And so I don't know how useful I
• 22:08
  can be. I can.
• 22:11
  And she sort of disappears into a thought and sort of
• 22:13
  disassociates for a second. I'm glad you're here, Claire.
• 22:17
  Huh. Oh, sorry, did I drift off?
• 22:20
  A little, but not anything we're not used to.
• 22:23
  OK. Will you redress the wound of my
• 22:27
  hand, please, Phoebe? Yes of course me take a look and
• 22:32
  I'll pull out my kits and just re disinfect it.
• 22:38
  Make sure it doesn't look infected and the wrap wrap the
• 22:43
  wound up again. Roll for it.
• 22:48
  Yeah, just your first date for that. 18 Yeah, good 18 You wrap
• 22:55
  it a little harder. You put a bit of extra gauze in
• 22:57
  case she punches the wall again when you're not around.
• 23:00
  It was rolled high enough that it'll actually prevent a few
• 23:03
  more of those hits. She has hit the wall while
• 23:05
  you're away. You can tell, but not as much,
• 23:07
  which is nice. It hasn't caused that much more
• 23:11
  damage, but it is healing which is good.
• 23:14
  And with the stuff you've used from your bag, you've used about
• 23:18
  10 to 15 Eddie's worth of stuff from your bag to help her.
• 23:24
  OK. That skin stuff always, always
• 23:27
  stings, yeah. That that's what happens when
• 23:31
  you when you punch it. Yeah, it's gonna hurt.
• 23:36
  Yeah, thanks, Mum. I'm sorry.
• 23:39
  Look, I'm helping. Yeah, you are helping and I'm
• 23:46
  really thankful. Hopefully when I get my brain
• 23:50
  straight I can be more helpful too and work out why my dad
• 23:54
  wasn't doesn't want to talk to me anymore.
• 23:58
  He didn't know where you were. What?
• 24:01
  He didn't know where you were. What do you mean?
• 24:03
  I've been missing for weeks. You haven't.
• 24:07
  Oh no. There is a small epidemic.
• 24:13
  Of the moment we assume. Replacements.
• 24:18
  Of replacements? How did you know?
• 24:20
  Sleep emission replacements. Steel Ngram Technology.
• 24:25
  Web Scientists. I can't remember the date.
• 24:28
  Damn it. It's OK.
• 24:31
  That's still helpful. So was was that something you
• 24:36
  were tasked to do or something you heard somebody say?
• 24:40
  That that was the the job. I I I would, I would when the
• 24:46
  there's like a a bunch of different like cells of people
• 24:51
  and someone sends information down and then I'd get that
• 24:53
  information. Sometimes it would be from
• 24:55
  Mystic arrogance. Sometimes it it was from a ghost
• 24:57
  handler and then I pass it on to the sleeper.
• 25:00
  There's a few assistants in town that do it.
• 25:03
  They don't remember. Obviously I do.
• 25:05
  Fuck. No more aces.
• 25:08
  You've got to be kidding me. Did I put?
• 25:09
  Did I? Are they on the ground?
• 25:11
  No, no, I'm just bad at this. Claire, do you remember if this
• 25:16
  has already happened or if this is something you were trying to
• 25:20
  make happen? Oh, I thought you were asking if
• 25:23
  I could see into the future. No.
• 25:24
  Okay. Sorry, I was very confused for a
• 25:28
  second. No, I cannot see into the
• 25:29
  future. No, this has already happened.
• 25:32
  The sleeper was hired. By the syndicate through a proxy
• 25:37
  and did not know they were working for the A I's.
• 25:41
  It's one of the problems with Lamento.
• 25:43
  Jobs is like anyone and everyone has hired the sleeper.
• 25:53
  Shit. I'm a little lost.
• 25:56
  He whispers over. Vivy, we might have a problem.
• 26:06
  What? Problem.
• 26:07
  Have have you pieced together who the sleeper is yet?
• 26:12
  No. Have you?
• 26:15
  Man, I owe you know, you're really good at keeping that
• 26:17
  secret. Vivy, Vivy.
• 26:22
  I'm the sleeper. Wait, what?
• 26:26
  Oh, so this OK, Should I be, like, concerned like you're, you
• 26:34
  know? VV I I have a bad idea.
• 26:42
  Oh. I I love bad ideas.
• 26:46
  Admittedly, I'm scared. What is it, Ayana?
• 26:52
  We might have to UN momentum me. What would that like I.
• 26:58
  Don't want to do that. I feel like that.
• 27:00
  Would like. I don't want to do that.
• 27:02
  I know, I know, you don't want to do it GM, but it's the idea I
• 27:07
  had. But would that like actually
• 27:11
  help or would that just because? Claire chimes in.
• 27:15
  I I wouldn't recommend it. I know that's why I said it was
• 27:19
  a bad idea. Who else is going to know?
• 27:24
  Me. We can't put this all on you.
• 27:28
  All I need is a bit of therapy and all you need to do is to get
• 27:32
  the first part. I'm assuming the market went
• 27:35
  well. Well.
• 27:38
  Yeah, I guess in the end it did after a lot of murder.
• 27:44
  Why are you wearing green pants? Why do you ask weird questions?
• 27:49
  Claire just seems. Like a weird choice.
• 27:53
  I mean, the Super Chrome is nice though.
• 27:56
  Oh, Claire, because of the replacements.
• 28:00
  Oh. Well.
• 28:02
  We have a safe race. Oh, we have a safe word.
• 28:10
  We have a go ahead TV and you know it.
• 28:14
  That super Chrome on your hip looks very fashionable.
• 28:19
  And then you reply. I just freshly polished it.
• 28:24
  Like a safe word phrase, like spies do.
• 28:27
  So we know that I know that you know, and you know that I know.
• 28:31
  Right. Yeah, okay, sure.
• 28:34
  Great. Remember that.
• 28:36
  I will. Okay.
• 28:39
  So okay, We have to figure this whole thing out.
• 28:44
  Should we get Jeb and? Retro.
• 28:49
  Or should we like, maybe we should sleep on it like it's
• 28:52
  been a long day. It's like 2:00 AM.
• 28:54
  It's been a very long day. I'm sure that Jeb is already
• 28:58
  drinking. I'm gonna try and beat one more
• 29:03
  game and then just go for a sleep.
• 29:06
  Joy's letting me stay on her sofa upstairs, so I'm probably
• 29:10
  gonna go up there. Good Claire, we will work on
• 29:15
  the. BD Things you need tomorrow,
• 29:18
  Okay. Yeah, sure.
• 29:19
  Yeah. Yeah.
• 29:21
  My I'll talk to Ping about getting some kind of deal
• 29:25
  tomorrow. Good A.
• 29:27
  Coupon or something. Thanks guys.
• 29:30
  Appreciate it. Yeah, I'm gonna head upstairs, I
• 29:34
  think. And you all head upstairs.
• 29:37
  Claire continues past you, goes up into crystals by Joy
• 29:40
  upstairs, and then into Joy's apartment.
• 29:42
  You hear sort of walk up the stairs.
• 29:45
  And you guys are in the bar with Ping and Retro and Jeb?
• 29:49
  And that's, that's the olden story of how I came across and
• 29:54
  Tamed Sloan. So now you know.
• 30:00
  You know what? I really thought it was going
• 30:01
  to, like, help me fall asleep. But there was so many twists and
• 30:04
  turns in that story, like I was riveted to my seat.
• 30:08
  Oh well, it is maybe one of the most engaging stories of mine.
• 30:15
  I got I got a box. Congratulations.
• 30:18
  That's not a very good story. It's a box.
• 30:20
  Apart a. Delivery, yeah.
• 30:24
  Well, at Mr. Carrigan's they had.
• 30:26
  When we first got there, there was a book.
• 30:28
  And like, I kept really quiet. I was just reading it in the
• 30:30
  background, and there were things you could just order.
• 30:34
  And so I had them droned here because I thought you might like
• 30:36
  them for your gun. Like it's a nice gun, VV.
• 30:41
  But like Pink's, not really. Doesn't go with the green
• 30:45
  trousers, so. I'm not going to be wearing
• 30:47
  green trousers forever, all right?
• 30:50
  We don't have to make up new character art or anything
• 30:53
  because like, this isn't, this isn't my everyday outfit.
• 30:57
  No, I know it was more just like a joke.
• 31:00
  But anyway, I got I got this box full of stuff.
• 31:03
  Are you saying pink and green don't go together?
• 31:05
  Looks at Phoebe and. That is my.
• 31:11
  No, I'm not saying that. I wear green pants sometimes.
• 31:15
  What's the fuck? I don't.
• 31:16
  Know why? I hit the wrong 50. 6 year old
• 31:19
  2D100. This is an extreme.
• 31:21
  Number for fun. I'm scared.
• 31:26
  So the box the box only cost me 300 eddies so.
• 31:34
  Great. And there are all the parts that
• 31:36
  you'd need to to turn it into something a bit more Ionery
• 31:40
  Retro. Thank you for keeping me in
• 31:42
  mind. Retro with Retro.
• 31:45
  Are you awake? Bendel elbows you really hard.
• 31:49
  Retro. What are you doing?
• 31:53
  Pushing a box into Here you go. What?
• 31:58
  What's in the box? What's in the parks?
• 32:03
  I mean, that series is the rest of you.
• 32:06
  Jeb, you open the box before Retro does an insider gun parts.
• 32:11
  Thank God, I thought I was ahead.
• 32:13
  And an antique gun holster. I I got that for you, Jeb.
• 32:18
  We we had got called to the auction before you could buy it
• 32:20
  and I got it for you. Wow.
• 32:24
  It was only 200 eddies. So.
• 32:28
  Thank you so much. That's that's really candy.
• 32:32
  I didn't get gifts for everyone. I'm just.
• 32:34
  I have. I have all the gifts I need,
• 32:36
  right? Now and I'm.
• 32:39
  And then you hug all of us. No.
• 32:43
  No, thank you. Don't, don't hug.
• 32:46
  I'll take the extra hug I like. Hugs, thanks for you.
• 32:53
  So these parts are. For two two.
• 32:57
  To change the the gun into something a bit more ionery.
• 33:02
  Maybe. The sound effect is cute.
• 33:04
  But you're right, it's not for me.
• 33:09
  Sad. So do you think that that's
• 33:12
  something you could handle retro?
• 33:14
  Sounds like an old minor. OK, one second.
• 33:18
  I need to go changing my comfies and.
• 33:21
  Don't forget to hang out the suit, otherwise it'll get
• 33:23
  creases in. I mean it has creases because
• 33:26
  it's made of polygons but in the wrong places.
• 33:28
  And like 5 minutes ago by Retro will come back with the suit on
• 33:33
  a hanger. Nicely done.
• 33:36
  It's strikeling only for sure. And Retro is in their comfy corn
• 33:41
  silk pajamas with a little sleeping cap on.
• 33:45
  All right, let's go get ready and set this up.
• 33:51
  Did you have any preferences that you wanted?
• 33:54
  So just put the gun parts in. If you could just put the gun
• 33:57
  parts in and then we can discuss it after you're done, does that
• 34:03
  work? Yeah, sure.
• 34:04
  I'll put my spin on it for sure. Yeah, OK.
• 34:07
  Can I hand over my gun, Both guns, The hello cutie and the
• 34:11
  heavy? Iona Vandel pulls the hello
• 34:15
  cutie out of the bag that vandel's been carrying and puts
• 34:19
  it on the table. And it's right about here that
• 34:21
  you remember that it's a special edition, still sealed in its
• 34:24
  box. Vivi.
• 34:30
  Yes. Trade me.
• 34:32
  Yes, I almost forgot that you had the original one too.
• 34:43
  You are about. To tear this thing apart.
• 34:46
  On the name of science, of course.
• 34:48
  I mean, I can you. Are you a big Sandroo fan, baby?
• 34:51
  You excited Sandroo? OK, I hope to one day meet the
• 34:57
  creators. Danger Gal.
• 34:59
  They've got a building. Gal Yes, I It's my dream to meet
• 35:06
  the The Danger Gal detective agency.
• 35:10
  I mean, they can't. I mean, I said they don't make
• 35:12
  the gun, do they? But they carry it a lot, yes.
• 35:16
  I I mean, it's like they're like Simon, it's like you don't have
• 35:19
  one with that, the other. It's like Jab's gun.
• 35:21
  Like, but not. But like suits his.
• 35:24
  It's like it's. Been Colt 45 Grand Pappy's gun,
• 35:27
  Yes. Yes, yeah, those guns, they're
• 35:29
  they're cool. Yeah, this is and this is like
• 35:34
  the original. Anyway, here, I'm sorry.
• 35:37
  You take this one and I'll take. You just take the box.
• 35:44
  It's still in, it's. It's still in.
• 35:45
  It's like plastic seal you. Haven't even used it yet.
• 35:49
  No, when was I going to use it? Oh man, this is OK.
• 35:56
  I'll. I'll admire this later.
• 35:59
  Here you go. So you get one of the regular
• 36:01
  ones, the regular Sanru. Hello Cuties.
• 36:03
  It's worth 5000 eddies. The one that you gave VV is
• 36:07
  worth 6000 eddies and has a cool little charm.
• 36:10
  And that's it. It's no different whatsoever.
• 36:13
  Just has a cute charm attached to it, and the box that comes in
• 36:16
  is essentially reusable. It has a space for ammo.
• 36:19
  It's like a little gun case. That's what the special edition
• 36:22
  came with. Oh, and a certificate that's
• 36:24
  been printed slightly to the left.
• 36:28
  It's a misprinted certificate. To hang this up somewhere.
• 36:31
  Nice. Well, I think it's time for me
• 36:35
  to go home. Yes, it's like 2:00 in the
• 36:38
  morning. Yes, we should all.
• 36:43
  We should really all get sleep. I know Retro, you want to get to
• 36:50
  this tonight, but as your doctor, I do recommend you get
• 36:55
  the the regular 7 to 8 hours so you're nice and fresh tomorrow.
• 36:59
  I don't know if tomorrow, like we're planning on going to this
• 37:02
  underwater place, but that means we should all get some rest.
• 37:07
  That's right, I got some scent go go handle it and then rushes
• 37:09
  down. Hand it over.
• 37:14
  I was joking. I don't have any self coke.
• 37:16
  I don't have any at all. No, no, no.
• 37:18
  Slowing in the bar. Yeah.
• 37:20
  Oh yeah. Can you?
• 37:22
  Can she sniff it out? Vultures have great senses of
• 37:26
  smell. They They do.
• 37:29
  RAW conceal reveal object or animal handling?
• 37:34
  Yeah, that's good. It's an educated thing, 17.
• 37:42
  Go ahead, so. Flies over and lands on Retro's
• 37:48
  head and just sniffs around him. Retro, Do you have any since he
• 37:53
  rolled high enough? Yeah, I was going to say there's
• 37:57
  like a Smith. There's like a small.
• 38:00
  There's like a one hit bag. No, no.
• 38:02
  No, it's like, it's just it's just the Mike taught a tiny Coke
• 38:06
  rock. It's like in the pocket of the.
• 38:10
  Pajamas that Retro has on that even retro forgot was there.
• 38:15
  Sloan grabs it with their feet. Hey, hey.
• 38:18
  That's my nipple. Wow.
• 38:22
  And then flies over to Jeb and drops it in your head.
• 38:26
  Good girl. Give her some scooches.
• 38:30
  Where look at diet. You do have some synthgoke on
• 38:34
  you. I.
• 38:34
  Didn't know that was there. Retro.
• 38:37
  Yeah, alright. Here you go, Iola.
• 38:40
  Ping. Yes.
• 38:42
  Are you here in the room? OK.
• 38:43
  Yes. I I I.
• 38:47
  Oh, come on. Oh, it seems to cook.
• 38:49
  I pick it up with my handkerchief.
• 38:51
  Come. On like look I don't.
• 38:54
  Give it to ping but. Like we we don't need to get rid
• 38:56
  of it. We could.
• 38:57
  It could. It could be valuable for
• 38:58
  something else later. No I need to clean the bar.
• 39:01
  Trading drugs for anything? I'm.
• 39:05
  I'm going to clean the bar. It's fine.
• 39:06
  You guys have a good night. See you later.
• 39:10
  And ping starts cleaning the block.
• 39:12
  Motherfucker. 1. Whole one, Whole Coke Rock that.
• 39:17
  Was one whole Coke rock. Up the up the schnauzer.
• 39:21
  OK. Didn't even crush it up just
• 39:24
  right. Up in there.
• 39:28
  The ping gets them up. Immediately gets a Nosebleed.
• 39:30
  What do you mean that's the good shit?
• 39:35
  Well, I'm cleaning up anyway. Do you know what I mean?
• 39:39
  Iona, I'm. I'm leaving.
• 39:44
  Good night. And Iona leaves.
• 39:46
  Well, Electro is sullenly now headed down to the workshop.
• 39:51
  Well, I guess if we're all kind of turned in for the night,
• 39:54
  we'll good night then. Good night.
• 39:59
  I'll see you later, baby. You have a really good night.
• 40:00
  It was nice to see you. I'm glad you guys are Okay.
• 40:02
  And when you came back from the the market that you're at, you
• 40:05
  know what? You guys didn't really tell me
• 40:06
  what happened. Was it okay did you have?
• 40:07
  A good time. It was, yes, Ping.
• 40:12
  Yes. Maybe you should drink.
• 40:13
  Make sure to drink a lot of water tonight.
• 40:16
  A lot of water like this water right here.
• 40:18
  Should I drink this? Yes, yes, just, you know,
• 40:21
  hydrate. That's really good H2O.
• 40:26
  Yes. Yeah, I'm good.
• 40:32
  I have to take care of. All these.
• 40:34
  Drug users and babies going to leave you go Jeb.
• 40:40
  What's this? It's a whiskey.
• 40:42
  It's the whiskey you asked for. You asked me for a whiskey,
• 40:44
  right? I totally heard you.
• 40:46
  I don't think I did, but I guess can't say no to a good night.
• 40:51
  Yeah. No, it's a night cap.
• 40:52
  It just pounds it back. I'm going to be in the third
• 40:56
  both or the second booth. I need to clean one of them and
• 40:58
  I'd like to clean one of them tonight.
• 40:59
  So which one are you going to be?
• 41:00
  In Oh, I'm, I'm, I'm headed to bed.
• 41:03
  So good night. Which booth are you going to
• 41:08
  sleep in, Jen? Oh, I was.
• 41:11
  I was going to go sleep in Vanna White, But no.
• 41:14
  Yes, I don't. Oh yeah, no, actually, if you
• 41:15
  sleep in Vanna White, that means I can actually close that.
• 41:17
  That'd be really great. And.
• 41:18
  Ping's now pushing you towards Vanna White, that'd.
• 41:20
  Be fantastic. There you go.
• 41:23
  Have a good night. Yeah.
• 41:25
  And then it starts to clean the window.
• 41:32
  I guess we should give paying some SIM code more often.
• 41:34
  This place would be a lot cleaner.
• 41:47
  Next time on no latency. Tuned it to, you know, more of a
• 41:56
  Iona Biotechnica kind of thing for you.
• 41:59
  I turn on the gun. Oh, wow.
• 42:01
  That's amazing. I am liking this.
• 42:04
  Yes, it's perfect. Guess we have to head to the
• 42:07
  docks. Fishing Corner right now.
• 42:11
  So is anybody like, been here before, been to the docks, been
• 42:15
  in the water? God no.
• 42:17
  Do you know how dirty this water is?
• 42:18
  Is it high or low tide? Yeah.
• 42:21
  Anyone got like a laugh jacket or PFD or something?
