S2E136 - Kurt In-a-Tube · No Latency

• 0:02
  Last time on no latency. I'm not equipped to diagnose
• 0:07
  mental health. I think that's right.
• 0:09
  Professional help. Is it?
• 0:13
  Is it doing anything? Yeah, that's very concerning.
• 0:16
  Oh no, I got 1 grenade left. I don't think you should use a
• 0:19
  grenade. Cool, does this feel good?
• 0:21
  Retro How you feeling? Oh, I'm.
• 0:23
  Feeling so good right now I'm. Just shooting.
• 0:26
  Swinging with my baseball bat. I can still hear Vivi beating
• 0:30
  the ever living sense out of woo.
• 0:32
  Got another one what I assume is robots.
• 0:35
  And another. One should come see this.
• 0:37
  There is. Yeah, he must be mentally
• 0:39
  exhausted. Electro feels a lot better now.
• 0:42
  Incident in the workers uniform stuck in a pot.
• 0:45
  Oh God, Kurt. Oh Lord.
• 0:47
  Stay with us. Stay with us.
• 0:48
  Kurt. Hey, hey.
• 1:00
  Stick. Stick with us.
• 1:01
  Kurt. Kurt.
• 1:01
  Kurt, you're going to be all right.
• 1:04
  I I can't believe I'm saying this.
• 1:08
  You got anybody fueled by it? No, I don't.
• 1:15
  But my blood does, right? The last time we gave someone
• 1:17
  body fuel bite it was. Bad, Yeah.
• 1:20
  But I mean, this guy seems like he's going to die any minute
• 1:23
  now. Hook me up to the machine.
• 1:25
  Hook me up to the, to the to the his his intake.
• 1:29
  Vivi, that's that's your call. Wait, I think he's waking up.
• 1:34
  Is he? Once again he wakes up, starts
• 1:37
  to scream, bangs on the on the wall, you see him shudder all
• 1:41
  over as the cable connected to his neck let's off a little
• 1:46
  spark and then he goes limp again and the machine to your N
• 1:50
  glows and then subsides. OK.
• 1:57
  That didn't fully work. I'm telling you, I think you got
• 2:01
  it. You got to hook me up.
• 2:03
  Can I can I investigate the machine?
• 2:07
  Maybe it's malfunctioning? You know, because I'm so
• 2:10
  technologically advanced, you're.
• 2:15
  Technologically illiterate. I'm I'm trying.
• 2:18
  But I I just I don't think we should solve all of our problems
• 2:21
  with body field bite. I don't know how to save this
• 2:25
  man. I'm I'm going to look at the
• 2:28
  machine. Maybe we can save him that way.
• 2:30
  I rolled A9. Rolled A9 and what you discover
• 2:35
  is about a about a week ago in the log on the screen basic.
• 2:40
  Access granted Loading user alert one error code exceeds
• 2:47
  others in frequency S3Y 3DE R. One more time.
• 2:54
  Repeating S3Y 3DE RR displaying on screen for your reference
• 3:02
  error code coincides with cyber attack sister.
• 3:07
  He's daughter's sister. Is that what that means?
• 3:11
  No. I was like, I was like, I don't
• 3:14
  have a pen to write this down to see what it actually says.
• 3:18
  I'll type that. Thank you.
• 3:24
  Size matters, no? System direct is.
• 3:29
  Stays stir say stir, say it's sister.
• 3:37
  If you want a hint, you can roll for it.
• 3:39
  Yeah, sure. Season 3, yes, de three uh, I
• 3:45
  don't. Think it's not yet?
• 3:49
  No, probably not. Retro is muted and he doesn't
• 3:54
  realize it. Deduction 16.
• 3:58
  Retro Are you muted on purpose? Yes, OK, I was saying a lot of
• 4:03
  jokes that weren't going to wind.
• 4:04
  OK, that's fine. I own that he's.
• 4:07
  Getting them out of his body. Iona and Vivi, you both look at
• 4:13
  each other trying to work it out, and there's one of the
• 4:17
  cabinets on the other side of the room is very shiny, and the
• 4:23
  red letters for this error message on the screen reflect
• 4:27
  backwards in the cabinet. Reds.
• 4:34
  Reds. Yes, Red.
• 4:37
  Eyes. What is that?
• 4:40
  OK, so the red eyes. That's the syndicate.
• 4:45
  Yes, error code, red eyes. The syndicate is well, we knew
• 4:52
  that. We knew the syndicate was tacked
• 4:53
  into this. That's what just happened to
• 4:55
  Remy. We did.
• 4:57
  They're the ones that messed this person up too then.
• 5:01
  Retro Do you want to examine the mimic computer?
• 5:03
  Yes, I would love to. Oh, it's a Tobayashi P74.
• 5:10
  You examine it, roll Electronic Security Tech 26.
• 5:14
  Administrative access granted accessing MIMIC mainframe logs
• 5:19
  warning users this system is under a repeated cyber attack
• 5:24
  every 3 to 5 minutes. Removing operator Kurt will
• 5:30
  result in next cyber attack being successful without
• 5:35
  operator. Other intervention may be
• 5:37
  required. Oh shit.
• 5:40
  OK, so disconnecting him is a bad idea.
• 5:48
  Weren't we supposed to disconnect him anyway?
• 5:51
  Because we need the people to do this.
• 5:54
  We want, we want the humans to do this, right?
• 5:58
  Yes. I thought.
• 5:59
  This was just the R&D room. This is like the mainframe,
• 6:04
  yeah. Well, Retro got some R&D, the
• 6:06
  document that you got. That's true, but.
• 6:12
  What was it? Was it?
• 6:14
  Was it good? Was it good for you?
• 6:17
  Well the document that we the document that we found was it's
• 6:20
  a portable anti radiation field. We could use that.
• 6:27
  Yeah, if we could find a guy named Kurt, we could like
• 6:29
  supercharge it, but. Is this not Kurt in the tube?
• 6:33
  Is that Kurt? Is there a name right there?
• 6:36
  That's Kurt. We never looked.
• 6:38
  Yes, his name plate says Kurt. Why not?
• 6:41
  I'll look at that. Answers right now.
• 6:43
  You get it for free, sure. Thank you it.
• 6:46
  Seemed like his name was Kurt. It turns out it is.
• 6:49
  He looks like a Kurt. OK, so we need to figure out a
• 6:55
  way to save Kurt before a digital version of Tony takes
• 7:00
  over him. Yes, well, yes.
• 7:08
  Yes, well, I'm just. I'm just thinking, if we take
• 7:12
  Kurt out and just destroy this thing, how were people working
• 7:17
  on this previously? Like they had hands on the
• 7:21
  machines that are out there, right?
• 7:24
  Yeah, yeah. So unless I'm missing something
• 7:27
  here, my thought is we just, we don't need to replace Kurt.
• 7:31
  We have people outside who are ready to work on this and we can
• 7:35
  have them work on and everything and we just save Kurt.
• 7:41
  Should we go get the people? Should I go get the people?
• 7:44
  Rally the people and say, hey, can you make us a pee?
• 7:48
  Pee. Make us a pee pee.
• 7:52
  You know what? I think that's going to take a
• 7:53
  little bit too much time. Who?
• 7:55
  Pee peed my pants. I think, I think we can probably
• 7:59
  use machines and then like once we've got what we need, then no
• 8:03
  one will know what we've got. Then we'll take it and then
• 8:05
  we'll be like, we destroyed the mimics.
• 8:07
  You get your job back and then like maybe like punch the
• 8:10
  manager in the face for poetic affair.
• 8:12
  I see. OK, gotcha.
• 8:14
  We. Who's is the manager here?
• 8:16
  We never went to see the manager.
• 8:19
  We're kind of taking care of this in the.
• 8:21
  Back probably a lockdown, frankly, because there was a lot
• 8:24
  of gunfire I. Mean.
• 8:29
  Let's. Be honest, I don't know if the I
• 8:31
  don't know if the manager was really giving a shit beforehand
• 8:33
  too because he already had these mimics like not even really
• 8:36
  doing their job well anyways, so and they didn't we haven't seen
• 8:40
  him around. So they're not really doing that
• 8:42
  well of a manager and managing these things in the 1st place
• 8:45
  so. We kill him.
• 8:47
  God forbid he's probably like in there playing some kind of, you
• 8:51
  know, he's doing digital Sharks cards at the moment, losing his
• 8:54
  paycheck. A lot of assumptions, but I like
• 9:00
  it. OK.
• 9:03
  So we prove me wrong. That's what it is.
• 9:05
  So we need to replace Kurt. That's what we're saying.
• 9:13
  Or. What is this?
• 9:14
  Need to replace Kurt. Just head over and shut down the
• 9:17
  my head over and just start turning off the machine.
• 9:20
  Cut it off from the source. I mean if it's a if it's a DoD,
• 9:24
  sorry ADOS attack from the syndicate, what?
• 9:27
  What's the best way cut from the source so?
• 9:31
  You're just going to turn the minutes off completely.
• 9:36
  Oh, that's like a win win. Cool.
• 9:42
  OK, it would then when we turn it off, that's supposed.
• 9:44
  To turn them off. Well, I'm just how are we
• 9:47
  building our thing? We.
• 9:52
  As you look over to Kurt, you see he's in no physical state to
• 9:55
  work. A machine, however, could doll
• 9:59
  into a mimic. Could we have?
• 10:05
  Into a single moment. We've got ourselves kind of a
• 10:07
  moral dilemma, don't we? We can build the thing we need
• 10:11
  and it's like best version and keep Kurt in the machine.
• 10:17
  We can pull them out and get a pretty mid version.
• 10:20
  With the people outside. Right with with our own skills,
• 10:24
  actually. Oh I mean the retro is good
• 10:27
  right? But that would still because he
• 10:30
  doesn't know the machine intimately, he would not give
• 10:32
  him the best version. It also would disconnect him
• 10:35
  from the mimics. So if you leave the mimics
• 10:36
  running got about 5 minutes it turns out it seems before things
• 10:41
  get bad. Or you could maybe put someone
• 10:45
  else in the machine but they wouldn't have as much knowledge
• 10:47
  as her, which would stop the attack but also 'cause that
• 10:53
  person a lot of pain every like 5 minutes.
• 10:57
  Well. The manager.
• 10:59
  I don't need to shut Kurt off, right?
• 11:03
  I just need to. I just need to cut whatever
• 11:07
  external connection the syndicate has to this, right?
• 11:12
  And can I can I figure out if it's a wireless or a wired?
• 11:15
  It is. It is hard wired into the local
• 11:17
  network. OK, well I'll the best thing I
• 11:24
  can probably do is I'm going to just have to see if I can just
• 11:32
  try to put up every firewall I can to try to block them out and
• 11:36
  maybe give enough time for Kurt to do the best that we can
• 11:41
  before having to pull them out. Can't really do a lot while
• 11:44
  trying to run all the mimics at once.
• 11:47
  But we can. You'd have to focus them in on
• 11:49
  one. Right, we can have them focus in
• 11:51
  on one. Oh wait, hold on.
• 11:59
  I'm going to I'm going to pull out of my backpack.
• 12:01
  I have AI have a Med kit in my backpack.
• 12:05
  Right. I'm ahead there, VB.
• 12:07
  Hey, VB, see if we can do something with this.
• 12:09
  They're like maybe try to like, you know, give Kurt some kind of
• 12:12
  like at least health boost or something so we don't have them
• 12:15
  croak on us on the middle of this.
• 12:19
  And then yeah, I'm, I'm just going to try to use whatever
• 12:22
  knowledge that I can to put up whatever I can is like a as a
• 12:30
  block from the hardwire that they're trying to get into and
• 12:34
  maybe try to focus in on at least one mimic.
• 12:40
  So I'll do that first. I'm going to try to focus in on
• 12:43
  the first mimic. What?
• 12:46
  What do you mean by the 1st mimic?
• 12:47
  Well, just a mimic, one that instead of I'm going to set it
• 12:50
  up so it's not all the mimics, it's just one.
• 12:54
  Do you Do you know which mimic you want?
• 12:57
  The one that's the least damaged.
• 12:59
  All right, Ayo no. You're in the warehouse and
• 13:01
  you're looking at the mimics in here.
• 13:04
  You find 2 that are heavily damaged.
• 13:07
  One has a broken arm, the other one is slumped over a crate.
• 13:12
  The one to your S is completely broken.
• 13:15
  As you turn the corner around you can see one that has been
• 13:17
  lightly smashed but is still operable.
• 13:21
  Remy. Remy, there are two out here
• 13:29
  that might be suitable for what you're looking for.
• 13:35
  Do you got a? You got a identifier I can use
• 13:39
  to try to hone in on it. Can I get close enough to this
• 13:44
  one without it doing anything? Yes, you watch it try and do its
• 13:49
  task. It only does the third, first,
• 13:51
  third and then it stops and repeats the task.
• 13:53
  It has A7 printed on its back. The one in the corner has A4
• 13:57
  printed on its back. I believe this one is probably
• 14:04
  7. It has a big seven on it, and
• 14:07
  then there's one that looks like it's a OK completely.
• 14:13
  It's just standing in the corner.
• 14:16
  It's kind of creepy 4 but there are a lot of red barrels.
• 14:22
  It's stuck behind about 3 red barrels, yes.
• 14:26
  He's just staring into the corner.
• 14:27
  It's so strange. It's like it's in time out.
• 14:32
  Well, I'm, I'm not about to, I'm not about to fuck with something
• 14:36
  that's already like Blair Witch and us at the moment, so.
• 14:39
  Well, Seven is still doing its task.
• 14:43
  Wait isn't there like 2 outside? Oh, I'll go look.
• 14:49
  I'll go look. I'm not moving my token.
• 14:54
  Oh yeah, I have to. Actually, I have to because I
• 14:57
  can't see otherwise. Let me add this.
• 15:00
  There might be a little out of character.
• 15:02
  I just me personally, I don't fuck with anything.
• 15:03
  That's where which that's where which is flat witching.
• 15:08
  Yeah, that's that's exactly what I was doing.
• 15:10
  The two mimics outside are exchanging the same boxes
• 15:13
  between two trucks. They are unharmed and they are
• 15:17
  labeled mimic 1 and 2. Oh Remy, just do #1.
• 15:24
  Number one all. Right, I'll go for #1.
• 15:27
  The whole network of mimics Shake and all of them stand
• 15:31
  absolutely still. That's not good for.
• 15:36
  You retro has switched the same system from multi mode to
• 15:39
  singular mode and now Kurt is connected only to Mimic 1.
• 15:45
  He runs towards you and grabs you by the shoulders and shakes
• 15:49
  you. Please don't touch me, Please
• 15:52
  don't touch me. Please don't touch me, Please
• 15:54
  don't touch me. 8000 miles of open Rd.

• 16:22
  I did not agree to this, Jeff. On the road trip of a lifetime.
• 16:27
  Oh yeah, she did. Fans got some tunes on the mix.
• 16:30
  No, it was the second car to the left.

• 17:02
  going to start hitting it. Roll Brawling.
• 17:10
  You can hear, you can hear me yelling and screaming.
• 17:13
  How about that? Oh my God, yes, it's 26.
• 17:20
  You push the mimic back and it smacks into the truck and takes
• 17:25
  about four damage and then reaches out to you.
• 17:28
  I'm. I'm running, I'm running, I'm
• 17:32
  running into the. It's.
• 17:34
  I think it's chasing me. It follows you into the
• 17:38
  warehouse. Oh, OK.
• 17:40
  I run, I run back into the R&D room.
• 17:44
  Oh, it grabbed me. Oh it.
• 17:46
  Was what? Grabbed me.
• 17:49
  Do you close the door? No.
• 17:52
  All right, it's, it's now standing in the door and walking
• 17:55
  towards you, Jeb. Oh.
• 17:57
  What grabbed you? Oh shit, I shoot it.
• 18:02
  It's just. That's just instinct.
• 18:04
  Right 25 hit blow a hole in its side and it falls back about 10
• 18:10
  feet. It reaches both of its arms up
• 18:13
  to you and reaches out. Its eyes are not red.
• 18:21
  Hello, I'm sorry, Reaching out like a hug or reaching out like
• 18:26
  a like a grab. It's just reaching out.
• 18:30
  Say something, scream. Yeah, shout.
• 18:32
  Do something. Some bitch.
• 18:34
  The the mimic stops dead and looks at Ratro and points at
• 18:37
  him. You.
• 18:39
  Got me. At at Retro or Kurt.
• 18:44
  At Retro. Kurt, nod your head if you can
• 18:48
  hear me. Oh, I'm so sorry, Kurt.
• 18:53
  I'm sorry. You scared me.
• 18:56
  Can you speak while in a mimic? Yes or no?
• 19:00
  It opens its mouth and you notice that the actual
• 19:03
  mouthpiece has been ripped out. That will mute.
• 19:07
  All right, we're going to have to come up with some other way
• 19:10
  to communicate. Thumbs up and thumbs down.
• 19:14
  Yes and no. Makes sense?
• 19:17
  Two thumbs up. Makes a lot of sense.
• 19:20
  OK, All right. Well, where?
• 19:24
  How can we get you more food? That's not a yes or no question.
• 19:27
  Damn it, Damn it. That's a shrug emoji.
• 19:31
  Kurt, you need, do you need medical assistance?
• 19:33
  Two thumbs up shrug emoji. Cool.
• 19:37
  We, we knew that we, we, we kind of have to have Kurt do the
• 19:42
  thing. We also need to at least make
• 19:45
  sure that he's not going to die on us while doing the thing.
• 19:48
  I'll try to keep him. Sure.
• 19:49
  Kurt's vitals are stable. It's.
• 19:52
  Point to a baby. Yes, I got you, Kurt.
• 19:57
  Kurt, can can you go ahead and make us?
• 20:02
  Your your, your your your. Bucket please.
• 20:06
  Truck emoji. No.
• 20:08
  Is that like you don't know how to do it?
• 20:10
  Truck emoji. You have the document Retro.
• 20:17
  I do have the document and that's why I'm trying to say,
• 20:21
  Kurt, can you build us a portable radiation field emitter
• 20:25
  at 120%? Truck emoji, 2 thumbs up.
• 20:32
  I'll take that as a yes, Kurt, I can't get you out of there until
• 20:38
  you build us this. How about that?
• 20:42
  Thumbs up. All right.
• 20:43
  Well, it's good he understands, OK.
• 20:47
  Well, let's get to work. I'm going to have to try to
• 20:48
  fight off this cyber attack at the same time I'm assuming.
• 20:54
  There's about a minute left on the timer.
• 21:00
  Well, you know what, I'm going to go ahead and I'm just going
• 21:05
  to go and put up a put up a couple more firewalls before
• 21:09
  they're able to reach. All right, electronic security
• 21:12
  tech. Yeah, I'm going to.
• 21:14
  I'm going to pull out my, my, my big guns for my intervention,
• 21:19
  and I'm going to pull out my Pink Floyd.
• 21:21
  And I mean, if we're going to go big, I'm going to go Floyd with
• 21:26
  it. Right.
• 21:30
  Offer it. I'm so invested that I'm I'm,
• 21:33
  I'm in shambles. Oh crit 24, crit fail 24, which
• 21:43
  means. Oh fuck, they found the brick in
• 21:45
  the wall. The the inside of the tube goes
• 21:50
  bright red and Kurt starts to convulse.
• 21:56
  The mimic starts to shake and one of its eyes turns red, and
• 22:01
  the mimic takes the opposite fist and punches itself across
• 22:05
  the face. Oh shit, what the fuck?
• 22:11
  You watch this mimic now start to fight itself from left to
• 22:15
  right. One side tries to stop it from
• 22:19
  being punched, the other side is punching itself very, very hard.
• 22:23
  Stop. Stop it.
• 22:25
  Robot's malfunctioning and he's like convulsing.
• 22:27
  I'm going to try to help. Paramedic 21 you take some of
• 22:32
  the first aid kit that Retro gave you and you find inside of
• 22:35
  it there's an adrenaline shot and you jab it into his nutrient
• 22:39
  tank. His body goes very still, his
• 22:44
  shoulders relax and the mimics stops hitting itself and one of
• 22:48
  the eyes goes back to normal. Bucket.
• 22:50
  Pull them out. Pull them out.
• 22:53
  Yeah, I think it's time, OK. We got to pull them out.
• 22:59
  OK, I'm going to take all of the necessary precautions and safety
• 23:05
  measures before just ripping this man out of this VAT.
• 23:11
  But yes, I will attempt to get him out as safely as I can.
• 23:18
  Some role for that. Can I help?
• 23:22
  Yeah, I was going to say, do you do you need a?
• 23:26
  Prepped back up. Supplies.
• 23:28
  That might be good. Once I remove this tube and and
• 23:35
  turn all of this off, we're going to need to pull them out
• 23:37
  immediately. So maybe if you both can brace
• 23:39
  and hold and pull. Not I, sorry, I'm not pulling
• 23:42
  them. Out.
• 23:43
  So OK then Iona, you go to this button and and press this button
• 23:47
  OK, Van Dell and I will pull them out all right OK, when I
• 23:54
  say three you press that OK, ready.
• 23:56
  I'm ready. One on three or after three on
• 24:00
  three. All right.
• 24:01
  OK, one 23. I pressed it.
• 24:08
  I'm sorry, he said on. Three.
• 24:10
  Yeah, on three. We did it.
• 24:11
  We did it. It's done.
• 24:13
  It's done. As you press the button, the
• 24:15
  scientist behind you wakes up. Oh, oh, stop.
• 24:20
  What are? You doing?
• 24:23
  Oh this guy's a corpo shill. The red eyes will kill us all.
• 24:34
  Behind you starts to disengage and Kurt's body is slowly
• 24:39
  unsubmerged from the fluid he has been suspended in.
• 24:42
  This process takes about 60 seconds and is irreversible.
• 24:45
  Oh. Boy.
• 24:48
  Well, boy. Guess the red eyes are going to
• 24:51
  kill us all. I guess so.
• 24:54
  Not necessarily. I'm assuming that there's this
• 24:58
  because Kurt is using this machine to remove them, right?
• 25:03
  That means that they're all somehow interconnected into this
• 25:05
  machine. They are, yes.
• 25:07
  As the system disengages you can see Kurt slowly opens his eyes
• 25:12
  and he looks at you and he the cable disconnects automatically
• 25:15
  and he grabs it and he goes to put it back in his neck.
• 25:20
  What are you doing? What?
• 25:22
  Yeah, somebody stop him. Eyes.
• 25:27
  Red eyes. Fuck red eyes, we're going to
• 25:29
  kill all of them. You're coming.
• 25:33
  You're coming. Yeah, and we're going to blow
• 25:36
  them all up. That's.
• 25:38
  True. I like your confidence, VV.
• 25:42
  We're going to blow them up. Gets up and goes to push you out
• 25:46
  of the way. Retro from the machine.
• 25:48
  When you say the sad, just do me.
• 25:51
  I'm going to, I'm just going to kick him right in the sternum.
• 25:55
  OK. You know, the scientist that
• 25:57
  was. Reconnecting.
• 25:59
  Roll Brawling. Oh, the red eyes are going to
• 26:02
  take over the mimics. Oh, you.
• 26:05
  Think they're like. Rolling 25 You can't.
• 26:09
  The scientists in the chest, they fall backwards and land on
• 26:13
  the ground, but. You don't know what you're
• 26:15
  doing. We're saving your life.
• 26:19
  Maybe we don't. Have an idea, God?
• 26:21
  'S protecting us all. OK, well, good for him.
• 26:26
  I would like to use the machine to access because they're this
• 26:30
  is interconnecting all of them. I'd like to go ahead and set
• 26:34
  them to what's the term explode. Self destruct.
• 26:41
  You want you want self destruct. Yeah, All right.
• 26:43
  You got to roll really, really high for this.
• 26:46
  Let's go put some lock points into this one.
• 26:49
  I'm going to put all my luck into it.
• 26:52
  Honestly I haven't used luck in a long in a while so.
• 26:55
  With Kurt now semi disconnected from this system, hey you're
• 27:02
  going to need a lot to get all the mimics disconnected.
• 27:04
  Let's. Fucking go.
• 27:06
  Go retro. Go.
• 27:08
  Retro. Go and I'm trying to decide
• 27:13
  which one he is. No, I think that's going to be
• 27:16
  the best one to do +5 whatever this is going to be plus 5
• 27:21
  because I'm using all my luck. Sure. 35 not a crit, but still
• 27:28
  very good. You rolled it looks like you
• 27:30
  rolled A6, so 6 proposed. 11 Nice, you do pretty well.
• 27:35
  You disable what seems like a large number of the mimics.
• 27:40
  A large percent, shall we say, that I am writing down right
• 27:43
  now, but not saying out loud? 69 I think that's probably.
• 27:49
  A little low. Yeah.
• 27:52
  I I did it with the goofs. Right.
• 27:58
  But for the purposes of narrative, the screen says
• 28:01
  mimics disabled 69%. Nice.
• 28:06
  Well, So what does? That mean you watched the number
• 28:11
  one mimic that you were trying to hack and that did have Kurt
• 28:14
  in it briefly just shut down on photograph woo.
• 28:18
  Hoo, good job Retro. You hear a few of the others
• 28:23
  sort of fall as well, but without checking you wouldn't
• 28:29
  know if it's all of them or not. Fingers crossed they the ones
• 28:32
  that didn't get affected were the ones that we just beat the
• 28:35
  hell out of. It didn't finish off OK.
• 28:46
  Hurt well. At least we didn't let a man
• 28:48
  die. The machine open and opens and
• 28:52
  Kurt falls down, still wet from the fluid that covered his body.
• 28:57
  The cable that was connected to his neck disconnects.
• 29:00
  He's no longer connected to the Mimic network.
• 29:02
  He seems frail and emaciated. He is not in a very in very good
• 29:09
  shape, but he is breathing. Kurt, Kurt, Brother, brother,
• 29:13
  listen to me. I tried.
• 29:16
  If you need my blood, you can have it I.
• 29:20
  Tried to stop trying to give your blood away, Kurt.
• 29:23
  It's OK, it's OK. I think she's a doctor.
• 29:27
  I am a doctor and I'm here to help.
• 29:32
  OK Doctor, you just majorly fucked up save Kurt's life.
• 29:39
  All right, we're here to help you guys.
• 29:42
  All right then calm down. We know about red eyes and we're
• 29:46
  fucking going to kill them all. And I as I'm, I'm like going
• 29:49
  through my medical bag, you know, with an attitude, helping
• 29:53
  Kurt and I try to stabilize him. Well, you rolled a 23 on medical
• 30:01
  tech. You pull out a blanket from your
• 30:05
  Med pack and it unravels to a much larger size and you cover
• 30:09
  him up and help dry him off. You inject him with a little bit
• 30:13
  more adrenaline and hook him up to a portable ID bag that sticks
• 30:18
  to his arm like Velcro. Oh.
• 30:25
  I do disconnect me. Because.
• 30:32
  Well, first of all, you were not even properly functioning for
• 30:35
  all of these robots, even if you wanted to do anything.
• 30:42
  Secondly, we are trying to destroy all of these robots, so
• 30:50
  disconnecting you is just kind of part of that.
• 30:54
  OK. 3rd you were not looking good in there.
• 30:59
  You your nutrient thingy was gone for like 2 balls, seemed
• 31:02
  like 2 weeks or something. So you were going to die?
• 31:05
  Yeah. The mimic kept on knocking out
• 31:09
  Doctor Rocca. The this one was knocking you
• 31:13
  out. The one in here, no.
• 31:15
  Or the red eye one. The one you threw in the
• 31:17
  cabinet. Oh.
• 31:21
  Are you not connected to that one?
• 31:23
  Every now and again, they'd get through.
• 31:27
  Jeb, could you shoot the locker? Oh, sorry, I I thought I didn't
• 31:35
  notice that Jeb left the room. Where did you go, Jeb?
• 31:40
  All right, I guess I'm going to shoot the locker.
• 31:45
  All right, guys. Just did a quick sweep of the
• 31:46
  area. Looks like they're on.
• 31:50
  Perception. You roll a 19.
• 31:58
  You notice that there is one active mimic in the warehouse,
• 32:04
  and through the shutters you notice that there is one
• 32:07
  outside. All right.
• 32:09
  And we're looking like there's 11 mimic left in the main area
• 32:15
  and pull down the shades a little bit and the blinds a
• 32:18
  little bit, and there's one right outside you want me to
• 32:23
  take care of. It is the locker making any
• 32:27
  noise like a we have to. Be quiet for that.
• 32:31
  Right? Right.
• 32:32
  Sorry, I'll shut up. Uh oh.
• 32:35
  Right, right, everyone, shush. And you will go quiet.
• 32:39
  Kurt tries his best to hold his breath.
• 32:43
  Cock your gun, Iona. I don't hear anything.
• 32:49
  And then you hear a mental tapping on the inside of the
• 32:52
  locker. Who is it?
• 33:02
  Yeah, No, no tap. Tap tap and you fire your
• 33:13
  handguns through the door. Rolling a 20, you cause 14
• 33:19
  damage to the locker and potentially whatever's inside,
• 33:24
  but the locker does take the brunt of it.
• 33:26
  The door swings open and the mimic you threw in there bursts
• 33:32
  out into the room with red eyes. I.
• 33:37
  Fucking knew it. Can I take my second shot?
• 33:40
  You can 24 yes you hit it for 14 damage.
• 33:46
  It gets glanced over the left shoulder and flinches 'cause it
• 33:53
  a critical injury and it's side crumples as it's left arm falls
• 33:58
  to in operation, hanging off it like some sort of wet noodle.
• 34:02
  It steps towards you and steps on the doctor on the ground.
• 34:07
  Doctor, the scientist on the ground.
• 34:11
  You didn't. You didn't move him.
• 34:12
  He was in the past and he's now been stepped on.
• 34:15
  Oh no. That's bad.
• 34:18
  Yeah. Oh shit.
• 34:23
  That's a 660. It's not 2 sixes though, 678.
• 34:28
  OK, that's not good. They take a critical injury.
• 34:34
  Kill it, kill it. The scientists neck, the
• 34:38
  scientists leg is snapped into. You now have a broken leg that's
• 34:42
  been snapped in half by a big metal foot.
• 34:44
  Oh my. Gosh.
• 34:45
  I fart on my. Knee I take my baseball bat and
• 34:48
  slam it slam into this thing I. Have to roll for that 19, yes,
• 34:55
  Let's see if it dodges 16. Not enough.
• 34:58
  You smack it pretty hard. You have to be next to it.
• 35:01
  You smack it pretty hard for 13 damage.
• 35:05
  It takes half of that, which is 6.
• 35:07
  It's still working. I can't believe that although it
• 35:11
  is incredibly damaged and has a critical injury, it is still
• 35:15
  pacing towards you. You take your second hit with a
• 35:17
  crit 22, causing 15 damage. You whip its head off and its
• 35:22
  head flies across the room and lands in the corner, shooping
• 35:28
  into a wastebasket. The body falls to the ground.
• 35:36
  So we know that if you take it by the head, it will die.
• 35:43
  Touchdown. Wait, no home run.
• 35:47
  Field goal. Points.
• 35:49
  Points. Nice shot, Phoebe.
• 35:51
  In the bucket. Back.
• 35:53
  Nice, the bat works really well you.
• 35:58
  Might be really good at sports ball.
• 36:01
  You know, my parents wanted me to do sports and not be a
• 36:05
  doctor, which is kind of weird. You know, they want, they want
• 36:09
  the opposite route. They said I had a gift.
• 36:13
  Well, I mean you, you obviously have a gift, but let's be real,
• 36:16
  I think you probably get hurt less doing sports nowadays.
• 36:19
  True, nobody gets shot on on the baseball field, at least not in
• 36:25
  the major leagues. Not recently at least.
• 36:29
  Stickball's a different story. Yeah, I was going to say with
• 36:35
  rough topic here. Yes.
• 36:37
  Oh, yes, I'm sorry, Sir. Let me try to help you.
• 36:44
  Jeez, You, you look, you look bad.
• 36:48
  You prop him up against the desk and he's sitting on the ground.
• 36:52
  There's still some left they're trying to fight them get.
• 36:57
  Over my. Leg fuck you, you couldn't get
• 36:59
  out of this room you piece of shit.
• 37:02
  Kurt smacks the doctor across the face.
• 37:05
  Oh, whoa. Whoa.
• 37:07
  Nice. Jeez.
• 37:12
  I think it kind of had it coming.
• 37:13
  We didn't have a choice. The hacker just kept on hurting
• 37:20
  everybody. You also could have just shut
• 37:25
  down the mimics until you stop the the attacker stopped.
• 37:30
  And I don't want to hear the oh, we need to keep production
• 37:33
  because obviously the motherfuckers weren't at weren't
• 37:35
  actually doing anything until I. Couldn't turn it off guy.
• 37:39
  It's Hardline. I what?
• 37:44
  Whatever. You're a piece of shit.
• 37:46
  You deserve that. Kurt.
• 37:47
  If you want to punch him again, I'd say go for it.
• 37:50
  Look, the best thing I would say right now is probably going to
• 37:53
  be Jeb. Yep.
• 37:56
  And Vendel, keep an eye on the door, see if you can see any
• 38:01
  more of those things coming. Well, I do.
• 38:05
  I mean, I'm just, I'm just going to get ready for these things to
• 38:07
  come into into headshot range and then, well, take a shot.
• 38:12
  Looks like we won't be using the mimics to make a bucket.
• 38:15
  I mean, at this point, fuck it. Next time on no latency that.
• 38:34
  Doesn't sound right. We should probably kill the
• 38:35
  robots first, huh? No, I do think we should kill
• 38:37
  the robots. Probably agreed.
• 38:39
  Well, let's get to it then. You are seeing Vandell.
• 38:42
  That's what I'd do. I do like it sometimes.
• 38:44
  Though Yeah, I get on out there. Oh hey, not bad, Vandell.
• 38:47
  I'm going to head back into the room.
• 38:49
  Taking some swings at these things.
• 38:51
  Hey Retro, are you on the phone right now?
• 38:53
  I'm waiting, I've been on in like 20 minutes.
• 38:56
  What the fuck is happening to me today?
• 38:58
  I'm carrying him, I'm not dragging him.
• 39:00
  Drama. Team.
• 39:00
  Mimic right there. I will take a shot at son of a
• 39:04
  bitch. I didn't.
• 39:05
  I mean, I did. Can we finish this off, Jeb, if
• 39:08
  you touch? My bottom We are going to have
• 39:11
  severe problems. It's working.
• 39:14
  That was cool. That's a lot of damage.
• 39:16
  Oh. Wait, we should probably do a
• 39:18
  sweep of the building I. Hope to never see another for
• 39:21
  one of those again. Why?
• 39:22
  Do do we get them all? That seems dangerous.
• 39:24
  That was cool. VV step aside, I'm going to
• 39:27
  finish this one off. Go right ahead.
• 39:52
  Could we PP Dicks and butts? 2026 we're going to suck some
• 39:56
  Dicks. Cool, that was your brain.
• 39:59
  Blast. That's not my brain blast.
• 40:03
  That was off the top of the Dome.
• 40:06
  No, no, my brain blast. Someone's Dome.
• 40:08
  Was that? Very shiny and the red letters
• 40:15
  for this error message on the screen reflect backwards in the
• 40:21
  cabinet. Reds.
• 40:26
  Reds, yes. Reds, yes.
• 40:31
  Reds, yes. That doesn't help us anymore.
• 40:37
  Red blood, My blood is. Red I typed it wrong I'm.
• 40:40
  So sorry, yes, he says he wants me to hook.
• 40:43
  My bad, that's three Y 3D3R. Red eyes.
• 40:56
  You were set up to fail. I'm really glad because of the
• 41:00
  jokes I was making were not going to land.
• 41:02
  I was like you, Snyder. Twisted Sister, What is this?
• 41:07
  Those would have landed. Those would have landed.
