Transcript
- 0:02Last time on no latency. Where did you get this idea
- 0:05again from? I am an investor all.
- 0:08Right. So which one of us is going to
- 0:10be the ventriloquist? How did it go I?
- 0:12Set a grenade off underneath them.
- 0:13Amazing. I barely made it alive.
- 0:18For the fingerprint, if we can get a hold of one of his gloves.
- 0:22Regent Claire, Mother. What did you do?
- 0:25There is a way into the safe room.
- 0:28So we still need DNAI need. To contact Fresh Pee.
- 0:31Why is this feel harder than every person we've ever fought,
- 0:34every combat we've ever been? In we need to contact Jeb and
- 0:37Remy and. I should stick around for when
- 0:41he's done with his meetings and I try to get his DNA.
- 0:44Then I think we need to get the hell out of here.
- 0:47All right, I could do this. You can do this.
- 1:01All right. I'm going to contact Fresh P at
- 1:04the moment. I will step back into the
- 1:08bathroom and give a give him, give him a ring rush.
- 1:19Wait, it's your boss? I left the auto answer Hi sorry.
- 1:24You had left auto answer on. Yeah.
- 1:27Oh, very interesting. I'm in the bathtub.
- 1:29You're in the bathtub. I'm in the.
- 1:30Bathtub. Yeah, well, I get out.
- 1:35I need you to do some some hacking, some net running, if
- 1:41you will. I need you to do some things.
- 1:43Please, please, please. All right.
- 1:44Well, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm going to leave the water in there.
- 1:47My ducks are happy. Not real ducks.
- 1:50Nobody has a real duck in Night City.
- 1:52That'd be silly. That would be silly, wouldn't
- 1:55it? All right, hold on.
- 1:57Let me just curl up. Oh, hold on.
- 2:04Wait, hold out. Fuck.
- 2:05That's my fucking phone, right, Ash?
- 2:08I'm on. I'm on the computer.
- 2:12All right, I feel. Very.
- 2:15Swingle great. I'm going to give you remote
- 2:16access to risky risky within within ping distance of a device
- 2:27that I would like you to access. OK, sure.
- 2:31All right. Give me a look.
- 2:32Oh, you're going to help you. Oh.
- 2:33It's nice there. It is really nice.
- 2:35It's. Nice.
- 2:38It's great when you take your. It's a shame you're not allowed
- 2:41to bring assistance. No, I don't.
- 2:43Doubt it. Such a such a shame.
- 2:45I'm here. I'll buy my lonesome.
- 2:47Oh, no. All right, cool.
- 2:50What do you need me to hack? What am I looking for?
- 2:53So there is an agent probably within and what is that 2 1/2
- 2:59three feet of risky at the moment that has an e-mail from
- 3:06Alpha and Kappa security I believe with two assigned words
- 3:12to a safe and I need those words.
- 3:14Oh, Oh yeah. One second.
- 3:15OK, All right. Let me do a hack with a hacky
- 3:20hack. Doing a hack?
- 3:24Yeah. OK, there's no roll bonus,
- 3:29right? It's just cement.
- 3:31Nope, 30. He hacks away at this agent in
- 3:39proximity and logs it into the handheld.
- 3:42Isn't a lot of information they get because they only rolled a
- 3:4513, but they do get 2 words, but not the order in which the words
- 3:50are in. There's an order that makes
- 3:54sense, actually all. Right.
- 3:56I thought I've got 2 words all right, not necessarily in this
- 3:59order. Oracle silence.
- 4:02And it says here these words will be reset at midnight.
- 4:05West Coast. So how do you work today?
- 4:07All right. Is there any possible way that
- 4:11you can assign the last two words?
- 4:14Do you know what I mean? Because it's oh.
- 4:17If if I had access to Danny's agent, that would be like a
- 4:21quick success kind of thing. Yeah, I we could always.
- 4:24I mean, honestly, what you need is you just need to get him to
- 4:27choose. Once he's chosen, if you can
- 4:30like it's really, really hard to get that information, especially
- 4:34high level attacks. They've got a lot of security,
- 4:37biotechnical people really angry.
- 4:38So if you, if you can either get them to tell you what they are,
- 4:42manipulate them into choosing ones that you want, that kind of
- 4:46stuff, I think that's probably a best bet.
- 4:47Otherwise we're looking at like me trying to roll a grip me me.
- 4:51Yes, it's a little rough. I can do this.
- 4:55Can you send the agent you hacked a message for me?
- 5:00I mean, sure, do you? Do you want it to have a a an
- 5:03addressing? Yes, Jane all.
- 5:06Right, so you want me to send Jane a message from themselves?
- 5:09No. No, from me.
- 5:10I'm sorry From me. Oh, right.
- 5:12Yeah, Yeah. So I can do that.
- 5:13Yeah. What do you want me?
- 5:17To send. I don't want to be too blunt
- 5:20about it. I will just say Oh no.
- 5:23Oh goodness. Oh.
- 5:28Again, I will say he has yet to choose.
- 5:33Inform me of his selection. That's what I will say.
- 5:36Sure, I'm. I'm I, I, I don't?
- 5:38You're sure, but I rolled 3. That's not for the message
- 5:44sending, that's for what gets received.
- 5:47Is it? Is it encrypted?
- 5:49No, you get a message back from Jane.
- 5:51Oh great. And she and she, she says in the
- 5:53message. He never tells me what he picks.
- 5:57I message back not to alarm you. There is a device on your left
- 6:02shoe. If you can attach it to him
- 6:05somehow or get it near him, maybe under a table, I might be
- 6:10able to get it. But he does need to make a
- 6:13selection first. Roll Persuasion.
- 6:15Great. I'm going to put 2 lock in it.
- 6:20I'm going to put. It's hard.
- 6:21Two lock, you said it's hard. This is a hard one, yeah.
- 6:27I'm for for luck in it. That's all I got left.
- 6:31That's all I got left. Take it, Take it from me.
- 6:35What am I going to do with it? Use it?
- 6:38How about a 25? How's that do?
- 6:4125 you get a wink emoji and she will now attempt to do this
- 6:46great. This could get her fired.
- 6:49That's. Fine, I'm getting her a job.
- 6:50That's fine. In the middle of this gala, it
- 6:55could get fired and you send off that e-mail in the hopes that
- 6:59you'll get a little bit more information.
- 7:01Do you do anything else like tell Retro and Jeb anything?
- 7:05Yeah, yeah, vent. There's a vent into the room.
- 7:09I just send, I just send a message that says vent.
- 7:12There's a vent into the room. Find it.
- 7:15Watch out for the turret. Meanwhile, on the other side of
- 7:19the city, Retro is standing in front of a computer.
- 7:23There I am. OK, see.
- 7:27Is it already open or is there a password that needs to get
- 7:29cracked on the sum bitch? Somebody has already hacked it
- 7:33once, so it is easier. OK, but I still need to hack it
- 7:37open, huh? OK, all right.
- 7:42What was the rule toolkit they used for this one?
- 7:4828 Yes. You get into the computer and it
- 7:51reads that the maintenance mode for the safe room has already
- 7:54been used today and the actual fingerprint is required.
- 7:57By getting such a high roll, you now know where the door is and
- 8:01it's to your N You see it's outlined now what you found.
- 8:03OK. Well, I found the door.
- 8:05I mean, makes sense. The guy who got shot was right
- 8:11in front of where the door is. It's right up there.
- 8:15Well, it looks like these jerk offs went ahead and used
- 8:19maintenance mode already, so we got to use an actual fingerprint
- 8:23to get in there now, so we can't just force our way in like I
- 8:27thought we could. And you get a text message from
- 8:31my owner that says there's a vent, there's a vent you can get
- 8:33in using the vent. There's a vent my owner just
- 8:38texted me on my tile. They said there's a vent.
- 8:42Look around for a vent. Retro 19, you do not find a vent
- 8:46in the room that you are in. OK, all right, there's no
- 8:51fucking vent in here. Where else could it be?
- 8:55Let me look around here. Oh.
- 9:00Oh. Perception Crit success At the
- 9:05very, very north of the room between a fridge and a cupboard
- 9:09is a vent on the wall. You also see that the net runner
- 9:12who's plugged into the machine in the cupboard on the northwest
- 9:17wall is starting to sweat and he's not going to be able to
- 9:19hold back the alarm forever. All.
- 9:22Right, What's in the kitchen that I can see?
- 9:24There are two stoves, a sink, trash can, a refrigerator and a
- 9:29little island. These this right here is a
- 9:32refrigerator. It's on the N wall next to the
- 9:34vent all. Right.
- 9:35OK, Jeb, I want you to check out that door to the South of us
- 9:41because still have a feeling we're not alone.
- 9:44So keep a keep a swivel on your head.
- 9:46All right, I'll keep a swivel on my head.
- 9:48While he's doing that, I'm going to come to the refrigerator.
- 9:50Does it have an ice maker at all or anything like that?
- 9:52Yes, All right. And take ice, take whatever I
- 9:55can, any kind of frozen cuts and stuff like that, and I'm going
- 9:58to pack it around the net runner, something that I learned
- 10:03off of VV a while back. It's got to keep him cool
- 10:08indeed. That is very, very smart.
- 10:10So you pack them and this gives you more time.
- 10:12They are now colder. Nice.
- 10:14That's really smart. I like that a lot.
- 10:16You know what inspiration? Take it that's.
- 10:18Really smart. Thank you.
- 10:20Yeah. That's really, really smart.
- 10:22Retro has three inspirations. Yeah, right.
- 10:25I give my inspiration, not to everybody.
- 10:27So it's very. You're very helpful.
- 10:30I'm inspiring to everybody. Indeed.
- 10:33Our Bard here. Jeb, you want to take a look
- 10:38What's in the room? Sure.
- 10:41You step into the room to the South.
- 10:42It is a very ostentatious bathroom with a powered down
- 10:46cleaning robot on the east wall. Well, it's clear over here.
- 10:50We got a pretty much a freaking swimming pool.
- 10:54There's a bathtub, but other than that, there's a powered off
- 10:58drone down here. But we're a clear boss.
- 11:02Wait, powered off drone? Yeah, bring it to me.
- 11:05The drone, Yeah, all right. And Jeb brings Retro a drone.
- 11:11Meanwhile, enough time has gone by that these meetings that were
- 11:17happening have now all conspired.
- 11:19They're very quick in a few of those meetings.
- 11:22And you see Danny walk through the office.
- 11:25He says something to his assistant and you can see her
- 11:27grimace. And he walks through the
- 11:29building and heads towards the front door.
- 11:32Now his assistant is not leaving it seems she's still in the
- 11:36room, you can see her talking to one of the in the possible
- 11:40investors that had a meeting Sarah Venture.
- 11:42But as Danny starts to walk outside, he looks at Phoebe
- 11:46across the room, pulls a cigarette from his pocket, gives
- 11:49her a wing. I look to Vendel.
- 11:53Do you see that you? Get a message on your agent Want
- 11:58to come for a smoke? And he knows I smoke.
- 12:03Is this love? Well, if if you need me, I'll be
- 12:11busy. Oh my God, Leona, this is really
- 12:19exciting. This is very exciting.
- 12:22Go Vivi. Go.
- 12:23Vivi, you step out the front of the Hillview to have a cigarette
- 12:27with Danny Dark Side. I I pull out my own pack of
- 12:32cigarettes, but I I'll leave it to him to light.
- 12:40Roll seduction. No, Roll roll something for
- 12:43that. I'll do a little go.
- 12:44Ahead, just go ahead and take a. Seduction piece now to roll.
- 12:47For it. No roll Roll persuasion and this
- 12:51will determine your position as this conversation starts.
- 12:54Actually, I'm surprised they don't have seduction on here.
- 12:57I know, right? I bet.
- 12:58Yeah, but. Persuasion does the job.
- 13:00It'd be weird having to, yes. He lights.
- 13:05He looks at you, pulls out his lighter from his pocket, just
- 13:08lights your cigarette. Hopefully the meetings weren't
- 13:11too long and boring. Yeah, yeah, I know what I mean.
- 13:15He's watching my assistant's bugging me like he wouldn't
- 13:17believe. Yeah, I haven't done a task that
- 13:22I'm meant to do today, you know. Well, assistance, that's their
- 13:27job, I suppose, is to make sure you get everything done that you
- 13:31need to. I guess.
- 13:33Being so important and all. Yeah, I'm going to be going
- 13:37pretty soon. I just wanted to say I enjoyed
- 13:39our conversation. I did too.
- 13:44I'll be heading straight home to my apartment as quickly as I can
- 13:48be back there. Be at my apartment.
- 13:50I'll be there very soon. It's a shame, you know, I, I, I
- 14:01really wouldn't want you to head back so soon.
- 14:03I think it would be nice to just spend a little more time with
- 14:07you maybe. Well, I don't know.
- 14:15She She leans in closer. Right.
- 14:18Close. I'm still.
- 14:20Invested. I mean.
- 14:25She puts her hand on his hand. I'm look, I I'm not normally
- 14:32this forward, but I am outside with Danny Dark side right now,
- 14:38so I feel like I need to seize this opportunity.
- 14:42He blows smoke past your left ear.
- 14:45It billows and catches in the light of the day, casting a red
- 14:51light shadow across his face. Yeah, it's mid afternoon.
- 15:00Yeah, I think, I think Vivi will hold on.
- 15:07I Vivi has to be strategic in this because if we want to get
- 15:10the DNAI think she's going to the cigarette, the cigarette,
- 15:15the cigarette, the cigarette. Yes, As he does that, I'm going
- 15:19to, I'm going to grab the cigarette from his cigarette
- 15:23from from his hand and take a drag of it.
- 15:28Roll Persuasion to see if he lets go of his cigarette.
- 15:31Oh shit. You're doing really well.
- 15:33This is not difficult. Men are dumb.
- 15:35C-12 passes. You're right, it was men are
- 15:40dumb men. Are dumb.
- 15:42You are. You are.
- 15:42He is obviously arrogant. You know, you've, you've, you've
- 15:45clocked this character really well.
- 15:46You've you've met an arrogant corpo who thinks the world
- 15:49revolves around him and you've seduced him in the golden hour
- 15:53of the afternoon of Night City. You've met him outside with a
- 15:58cigarette and he grabs your cigarette, playfully smokes your
- 16:02cigarette in front of you, and then gestures back to trade the
- 16:07cigarettes back. I think I'll keep this one.
- 16:11And she just continues to smoke it.
- 16:13Jade. Is freaking out in the
- 16:15background. I compromise.
- 16:20The DNA so so you, he's he, he looks at you.
- 16:28Tracy. He's he, he smokes the he smokes
- 16:31your cigarettes and and looks across the street to the foliage
- 16:37and the cracked concrete on the ground.
- 16:41Don't you dare throw that cigarette off balcony.
- 16:47You're not on a balcony, you're just on a street balcony.
- 16:49The the Cliff side is on the other side of the building
- 16:51because that's where the window faces, you can just see.
- 16:54This. Honestly it's fine if he throws
- 16:56the cigarette somewhere, I will just make a note of where he
- 16:59drops it so I can grab it later. That is, that is not a crit,
- 17:04fail or success. He throws the cigarette on the
- 17:07ground and then he looks at you. God, the smell, right?
- 17:13He undoes his his latex glove and throws it at the trash can.
- 17:19He smiles at you and leans in. Vivi has.
- 17:25Placing his actual flesh hand on your face like caressing,
- 17:32caressing your neck and pulling you closer in for a kiss.
- 17:36And then giving you a little. Poop.
- 17:38A little poop. With his flesh hand he's touched
- 17:41you. With his actual hand, can I?
- 17:42Get fingerprints from I guess we don't need the fingerprint.
- 17:45We could. Just how we have the glove,
- 17:46we're fine. I did.
- 17:47Not what I thought you were going to.
- 17:52Say Vivi will kiss him. Kiss him.
- 18:00And I'm just trying to think if there's anything else I can do
- 18:05to grab anything from. This moment pulls back.
- 18:08He looks you straight in your eyes, Nova.
- 18:12Cream. She smiles.
- 18:15I'm pretty lucky to be able to kiss Danny Dark side.
- 18:19Harry who doesn't love a hot nurse?
- 18:24And he walks away at that. You, you, he he was so close.
- 18:29He was so close. You.
- 18:31I need you to roll to see if you can hide the fact that he called
- 18:34you a nurse and you don't like that.
- 18:35Yeah. VVS eye twitches.
- 18:38Yes, I said if one more person called me a nurse and here he
- 18:43is. It's your composure role.
- 18:48Just fail it and do it. Resist torture drugs.
- 18:51Resist. Torture drugs.
- 18:52This is torture. That's what this is.
- 18:54This is torture. 1 moment 15 Yes.
- 18:58You resist the urge to punch him in the face.
- 19:01Blow my cover. And he smiles at you and walks
- 19:06back inside. After he does, Beebe takes the
- 19:09longest sigh and actually gets another cigarette because she's
- 19:13going to need one after that, and immediately and walks over
- 19:16to the garbage and the cigarette.
- 19:19And so you're outside, you're next to the trash can with the
- 19:22glove in it. I will very lightly grab the
- 19:26glove with I'll put my own glove on because Phoebe has her little
- 19:30kit but grabs the glove, grabs the cigarette, puts them in a
- 19:35little baggy jackpot. Night City.
- 19:51If you look at a map of North America, somewhere on the
- 19:53western edge you'd see an inky black dot with fingers pressing
- 19:57into the side of the continent. That's where you find Night
- 20:00City. And somewhere in the middle of
- 20:02that inky black dot. It's a giant smoking hole, like
- 20:06the universe itself drew iron and shot straight through the
- 20:08city. Radiation turned the sky red.
- 20:12But our story starts a little further South, in a dive bar.
- 20:17The shortstop. Welcome to Night City and
- 20:20welcome to Cyberpunk Edge of Extinction.
- 20:24Infinite sided dice presents cyberpunk edge of.
- 20:27Extinction a Cyberpunk Red actual.
- 20:29Play Watch now at YouTube. Dot com.
- 20:31Slash at infinite sided dice. Catch you later, chums.
- 20:36Oh. What is such a hurry?
- 20:53What are you doing? I.
- 20:54Did it, I did it. I gave him a smooch.
- 20:58No. Yes, disgusting.
- 21:03Absolutely disgusting. I'm very proud of you.
- 21:05Yes, thank you. It was truly it was so smooth.
- 21:10We like exchanged cigarettes and then I realized as I was smoking
- 21:14his cigarette, I was like, oh shit, my DNA is on a cigarette.
- 21:18So he took the other cigarette and he threw it.
- 21:22I have a cigarette and I have the glove and I dangle a small
- 21:26clear plastic bag at the side of my dress and I then I slip it
- 21:30back in. Oh, you made his glove.
- 21:32I got the glove, the latex, the Leona hat.
- 21:33I got the. Glove all.
- 21:35Right, all right. OK, so we we have to get that
- 21:37fingerprint to retro somehow? He's got me back.
- 21:40Oh, and he's going back to his apartment.
- 21:42Right. Right now.
- 21:43Oh. Shit, that's that was important
- 21:45thing. Shit, yes, he's like he's like,
- 21:47yeah, I'm done. But for the day he's like an
- 21:49introvert. So he is heading back now.
- 21:52How do we social battery? We have to.
- 21:55Maybe Retro's done, we can call retro.
- 21:57We should probably call Retro, yes, and let him know that Mr.
- 22:01Danny is on his way. Back and Jeb obviously and Jeb
- 22:03obviously Jeb is there as well. We should check in.
- 22:05We haven't really, we haven't checked in.
- 22:07Maybe they maybe they've got the brain, maybe they got through
- 22:09the vent and they've just got everything and they've just been
- 22:11waiting for. Us they are.
- 22:12They are very smart and very capable most of the time.
- 22:16Should shall I do a little group call?
- 22:18Go for it. All right?
- 22:20Cool. Hello, get in there.
- 22:29Fuck. Hi Retro.

- 22:52Oh, hi. Iona.
- 22:54Hey Jeb Retro, Danny Darkseid is on his way back to his apartment
- 23:00right now. So no, he's still here.
- 23:03But it's very soon, apparently, yes.
- 23:07I got, I got his DNA and I, Oh my gosh, guys, I just thought of
- 23:15something. What when?
- 23:17When we kissed? When we kissed, he said
- 23:21something to me. He said.
- 23:23What did he say? He said Nova.
- 23:25That. Why is that?
- 23:27Why is that important? That was one of the code words.
- 23:30Oh. So.
- 23:31Oh, I think that's one of the code words to get into his
- 23:33thing. All right, so we have, we have
- 23:35three of the, we have three of them.
- 23:37Right, subconscious suggestion with your sexiness.

- 23:44You not in the call step. It isn't.
- 23:48It isn't answer. Answer.
- 23:50My battery died like 2 hours ago all right.
- 23:53Jeff, they are. They're telling me that they got
- 23:55the DNA sample, they got one of the code words and they got the
- 23:59fingerprints. Three of the code we have 3
- 24:02words three. Words.
- 24:03OK, so we have 3 words yes, we have the DNA, which I still
- 24:07don't know how exactly how we're going to get to it and the
- 24:08fingerprint, which I do have a plan for.
- 24:12OK. So could you describe the spot,
- 24:17this spot that he brought? Up.
- 24:20It's a cleaning bot. Right.
- 24:21Can you describe? It's a cleaning bot, it's got a
- 24:22vacuum, it's got a little container that mops the floor,
- 24:26and it's designed for a wet room because it's from the bathroom.
- 24:28OK, it doesn't, yeah. It doesn't have like a any
- 24:31facial things or. No, it's just a cleaning robot.
- 24:34Does it have AL get display on it?
- 24:38Yes, it has a display for battery and what firmware it's
- 24:41on. OK, so it does have an LCD
- 24:43screen. Yes, OK.
- 24:46I'm going to refashion the LCD screen over to the front of it.
- 24:51Actually, no, not even to the front of it.
- 24:52I'm going to attach it to its vacuum arm.
- 24:57OK. And connect it to via through my
- 25:01tile. OK.
- 25:03Roll for it. That's a that's a what you call
- 25:06it. That's that's your, that's your
- 25:09role skill. That's called.
- 25:10You are Jerry rigging this object.
- 25:12Damn straight. So how What is your current
- 25:16rank? 6. 6:00 So that means you can
- 25:20Jerry rig this thing for like half an hour.
- 25:23Yeah. OK.
- 25:25Well, that's that's kind of the plan is I'm going to do I'm
- 25:30going to get that set for there and then let me think here DNA,
- 25:41but. But but, but retro, do you need
- 25:43anything from us here? We're we're here.
- 25:47Well, I'm going to need that fingerprint and you need the
- 25:50three, the three code words. I know you work to get that DNA,
- 25:55but I don't know how you're going to get it.
- 25:57Just wait. A minute.
- 25:58Is there a way we. Fly.
- 26:00Where are you? Yeah, find a trash can.
- 26:03Find a trash can anywhere. Leave the bathroom.
- 26:05OK, OK. Check the bathroom.
- 26:07Yeah, yeah, yeah. I'll look around.
- 26:09There is a bathroom trash can, Yes, Look around at it.
- 26:12You come back in, you come back to retro with a bathroom trash
- 26:15can. It's Chrome and metal, right?
- 26:17Look, look at it. Is it what's in there?
- 26:21Trash. Look in the trash, Jeb locked
- 26:27through it like anything that's been used.
- 26:31In what way? They did all this work to get
- 26:35you that DNA sample and you're just there.
- 26:38I'm just saying I would try to do their DNA sample.
- 26:40If somebody can help me get an idea of how they get it to me,
- 26:42that's the question. You guys just fly here, I mean.
- 26:47To fly here and then fly back, are they?
- 26:49Going to it might be faster. Danny, Danny by ground.
- 26:54It's the only way we'd be able to do it is if we had something
- 26:57that went by the crow flies, right?
- 26:59Waitro, I found a used prophylactic A.
- 27:04Crow flies. Yeah, I'm not doing that.
- 27:07No, I, I, I get what you're saying.
- 27:09Of course, Jeff, what is Sloan doing right now?
- 27:12I think she's probably hanging out on the roof.
- 27:15You get Sloan to go pick up the DNA sample from them.
- 27:20Oh, that might and. Bring it back, 'cause you know
- 27:22what, there's not. As much as I want to get this
- 27:25job done, there's no way I'm touching that Jimmy John's.
- 27:28Yeah, I can see what I can do. Not after the couch incident.
- 27:32That might work. Fuck, fuck you.
- 27:36All right. So we should expect Sloan and
- 27:38then we'll give them the DNA sample.
- 27:40Do you want us to process that before we send it to you?
- 27:45We're the one with the medic, Iona.
- 27:47Oh, you're right. No one heard me say how, I just
- 27:49mouthed it very widely at Vendel.
- 27:53Well, we're trying not to draw attention while we're in the
- 27:55garage. I'll.
- 27:55Tell you this Vendel, I'm. Going to have another puff.
- 27:57The more that you can get done and sent to us, the easier it'll
- 28:00be for me, so I would appreciate it if you can take those steps
- 28:03for me. All right, so Phoebe, you go in
- 28:06the bathroom. Oh, I don't know.
- 28:10I'm not a lead character so I don't know what.
- 28:11To do that's all right. Good thing, wouldn't you send me
- 28:14a picture of the fingerprint? I can do that.
- 28:19I can do that, Yeah. I'm for the.
- 28:20Fingerprint also send me via tile through messaging the words
- 28:26all right. Got it.
- 28:27We, we still need one more, but we're we're on it Retro.
- 28:30Give Jeb a spare tile, OK? Jeb, I need you to please go
- 28:35ahead and tell Sloan to go pick that item up and bring the DNA
- 28:40sample back to me. Not you.
- 28:42Me please. OK, where are you going to be?
- 28:46I'm I'm going to be here because I'm going to control this
- 28:49cleaning bot and you're going to follow behind it in the vent up
- 28:52here that we found. OK, so let me go open up the,
- 28:55let me go open up the window to the outside.
- 28:58Go for it. And and meanwhile, let me all
- 29:01start slow. You step outside and slow and
- 29:04shits on your shoulder. Slow, slow.
- 29:11Bad girl. Bad girl.
- 29:13Come on now. We talked about this.
- 29:15I thought you stopped doing this four years ago when you were
- 29:19Butter Hatchlin. But now they should.
- 29:21You rolled a -? 9 creep.
- 29:23Yeah, so they now shit on your other shoulder.
- 29:25God hit and mock you even more. Listen, is this because I didn't
- 29:28give you a treat these last few days?
- 29:30I've been busy. OK?
- 29:34Is that how it's going to be? Is that how it's going to be?
- 29:37Well, fine. I didn't want your help anyway.
- 29:40Retro, we're going to have a change of plans.
- 29:42She's not. She's been a bad girl.
- 29:47Don't even. Don't even start with me.
- 29:50Jeff, I need you to go ahead and make it up with with Sloane, or
- 29:55I need you to fly as fast as possible down there and get back
- 29:59without being fucking seen. Do you think you can do that
- 30:04well? Sloan, I'm giving you one last
- 30:06answer. Retro.
- 30:08You got any like treats or something?
- 30:09You know something something preferably meaty.
- 30:14And I'm going to walk over to the guy that we exploded.
- 30:19Yeah, that's going to. Rip off several digits of the
- 30:22hand. Beat him this.
- 30:26By the way, Jeb, you had a bird shit on you twice.
- 30:29That means you should be extremely lucky, as the rule of
- 30:32thumb goes. Well, you know, that would be
- 30:35true, but she was aiming, so I'm going to take those fingers.
- 30:42Give her some fingers. Finger treats, yeah.
- 30:45All right, you feed this dead maelstrom's fingers to Sloane,
- 30:49who eats them with gusto. And now Sloan has been satiated
- 30:56from your crit fail. Well.
- 30:58Sloan still doesn't know what you want them to do.
- 31:00I thought that was implied. All right, baby, it's a bird.
- 31:03Nothing's implied with a bird. Listen, you're going to go, OK?
- 31:06You remember, Remember that, That remember the nice lady?
- 31:08Yeah. And Iona, Yeah.
- 31:13I I. Can still hear you, Jeb.
- 31:17Oh, Will, Will Sloan, baby girl, You're going to go to the Nash
- 31:21lady and I owner's going to give you the the the sample.
- 31:26To be honest, I'm not even sure what it is.
- 31:27It's some sort of DNA device or or a sample or something.
- 31:32Maybe it's a little baggy. I'm not sure what it is, but
- 31:35they're going to give you something.
- 31:36You're going to put that into a little talons and you're going
- 31:39to fly right back over here and you're going to give it to Mr.
- 31:41TV. That's right.
- 31:44OK, I'm going to be in the vent. Don't come into the vent.
- 31:48I've got no more fingers for you.
- 31:50But but retro, that's Mr. TV. Mr. TV is going to have some
- 31:56snacks for you on your way back. OK, so you can have these ones
- 31:59now. No.
- 32:01Do you agree? Roll Animal Handling.
- 32:04You get plus one because the fingers 2223 Sloan snatches all
- 32:11of the fingers you have on you away and flies off towards the
- 32:16Hillview. All right, all right.
- 32:19Remember, Mr. TV has got some more fingies for you when you
- 32:21get back. All right?
- 32:23I think she's got it. OK, great.
- 32:25Do you hear that, Iona? Phoebe Bendel.
- 32:28Yes. They're on their way.
- 32:30We'll be ready. All right, Bendel, let me know
- 32:34as soon as you send that information over.
- 32:37Jeb, I'm going to stay. I sent you the three words, it
- 32:40should be in chat. OK, what about the fingerprint?
- 32:42The the fingerprint. One second.
- 32:48All right, I've sent you a picture.
- 32:50OK, that's going to be the best I can do.
- 32:52All right, Jeb, I'm going to send this little cleaning bot in
- 32:59first, and I need you to follow behind it in the vent.
- 33:05So in case if anything happens, right, because this thing can't
- 33:11defend itself, you know, you, you got to take over your, your
- 33:15kind of the, the hero of last resort.
- 33:19All right, all right. So I'm kind of like, I'm kind of
- 33:21like a little robots bodyguard. Pretty much a little robot is
- 33:26going to try to take the most of the danger from you.
- 33:30But I'm not going to lie, there's a potential you might
- 33:33need to put your ass in harm's way.
- 33:35All right, so while Jeb is getting that set up, can I go?
- 33:39I'm going to go ahead and send the bot in as close as I can
- 33:42without what I think, not set it off.
- 33:46Sounds good roll for it 26 nice yes it gets up to the edge of
- 33:53this vent hatch and he's easily small enough to get through this
- 33:58vent. James going to have a tough
- 33:59time. This is a very tight vent to get
- 34:02in and out, but it's just big enough for a human like himself.
- 34:06OK, so the drone steps into the room.
- 34:08It falls down from the vent and now can't get back up to the
- 34:10vent. It doesn't have legs.
- 34:11It's on wheels, so it falls to the ground.
- 34:13And it's right next to a few of these lockers.
- 34:18And you can see a turret on the northern wall panning back and
- 34:21forth. And on the very West of the
- 34:23wall, there is a a big one way window you can see out into the
- 34:27city. And next to the window in the
- 34:28corner is a dead Maelstrom who's full of bullets.
- 34:31OK, so there's another. So there's a Maelstrom guy that
- 34:33got in here? Yeah.
- 34:34That was the other one that Jeb smelled earlier.
- 34:36OK. Oh, that's where it's coming.
- 34:39From and Jeb, you're sneaking up behind this this drone and you
- 34:45are now at the precipice of this vent hatch.
- 34:48All right, Jeb, can you see the turret?
- 34:53Yep, I see it. I don't think it sees me.
- 34:56Do you think you can potentially disable the turret from where
- 35:00you're at? If that disabled, you mean
- 35:02shooting it a bunch, Yeah. Yeah.
- 35:06Yeah, all right. Disable away are.
- 35:10You just going to use bullets? I mean, I think I'm all out of
- 35:14grenades, so no, I'm not. Oh yeah, ma'am, that's.
- 35:19What I was going to. Say Grenade, can you remind me
- 35:21what a. Smart Grenade does.
- 35:23Jeb, no grenades. The drone is in there.
- 35:25We can't fuck up the drone. The.
- 35:28Drone is what's preventing. You have to go in there.
- 35:30Well, if I have a smoke grenade, I could pop a smoke grenade and
- 35:34then. That's going to stop me from
- 35:36being able to see. OK.
- 35:37All right. Well, there's you don't got a
- 35:40infrared on that thing or something.
- 35:42If I had more time, I would, Jeff, I'm kind of working with
- 35:45what I got and if you are the best shot that we have, I need
- 35:49you to play bodyguard to this little drone.
- 35:52All right, I need you to be Kevin Costner to this Whitney
- 35:55Houston drone and take care of it, all right?
- 36:00I guess it's time to use my Aero electric shotgun and blast the
- 36:05hell out of it with electricity. Hey Vivi, you got any more
- 36:09tranquilizers by the way? I have two track starts, yes.
- 36:14Can I please get those at the same time?
- 36:16Yes, I'll leave them with flown. Thank you very much.
- 36:31Next time on no latency. I believe in Sloan, she can beat
- 36:39him back and they will have to move quickly.
- 36:41Too much true crime? You don't have to give me much
- 36:44time. I, you know, I'm kind of flashy
- 36:47with all this Chrome I'm wearing, but.
- 36:48I'm about to shoot if that's all right with you.
- 36:50It's going to be tight Chrome. Hey, do you want to fucking get
- 36:53your cut or not? You got to fucking watch him and
- 36:55make sure he doesn't stroke out. All right?
- 36:57Watch him. Chrome.
- 36:59You know, I'm going to be honest, this, this gun is big.
- 37:02We don't know the order. Does the order matter?
- 37:05Jeb, how's it going in there? Did you take out the turret
- 37:07Chrome? Sloan likes the nice lady.
- 37:09Oh. Sloan and I give Sloan an extra
- 37:12puff Chrome. When you see it, take out the
- 37:14bot you got to jump in there and blast that fucker.
- 37:17You got it, boss. Go to Papa.
- 37:19I'm shooting this thing the old fashioned way.
- 37:21Oh, Chrome. Fuck you.
- 37:23Oh God. Jeb, what did you see in there?
- 37:25I'm sorry, Jenny. Jane, did I introduce you to to
- 37:28Vivian? Pluttable gasp.
- 37:55Chrome, Chrome. Chrome.
- 37:57Chrome, Chrome. Chrome.
