NL: SideQuest - Kidney Caper - Pt3 Adjuster CID · No Latency

0:01
Last time on no latency side quests, Chad.
0:06
We need to check on Chad. They're putting all this effort
0:08
into this guy. I mean, come on. 378 Hygeia Ave.
0:12
The IRS. Tempering of the T organ could
0:15
result in. The good news is you're all
0:17
patched up and staple. More fees delayed claims?
0:20
Bad news is for now. And death.
0:23
Yeah, retro showing. Hot hole?
0:25
No Sunday drivers. He's in here.
0:28
Get him out. Get him.
0:29
Out. Hey, we're here.
0:30
Oh. That's great.
0:30
Seems as if they were exhausted. Fuck the IRS.
0:33
Fuck Night City. Maybe we can get some extra
0:35
organs while we're here. You start crying, people will
0:38
start doing stuff. Please, I've been waiting.
0:40
I've come back here every day. I pull a gun out.
0:44
We're here for the organs. Yo, that was sick as hell.
0:47
You're dead next. He's dead.
0:48
He's fucking dead. How?
1:01
Sorry. Oh, that shot did much worse.
1:04
Than 26 damage to Tracy. OK, we're going to do the double
1:11
bat powwow combo as VV is going to move closer to this one right
1:17
in front of Coyote that she just smacked with her baseball bat.
1:22
And VV is gonna do the same. Oh, let's go.
1:26
That's bad. For.
1:29
Me isn't. It oh with your first cat
1:33
rolling a crit causing a causing 11 damage which is cutting 1/2
1:37
of his armour making it. A6.
1:42
He is now. As you're about to swing, you
1:45
recognize that if you hit him again, he'll probably die.
1:48
Yeah. Do it.
1:50
Hit him again. You just let's fucking go.
1:53
It's cyber fun. What are you talking about?
1:55
Of course. He was the guy who saw a crying
1:58
person and was like, OK. While you haven't told us where
2:01
the where the guts are, who? Who's in charge of the guts and?
2:04
I'm going to be real. I haven't really given him much
2:06
of a chance, but I'm just giving you the option as a medical
2:08
professional just before you swing that bat one more time.
2:11
Can I? Still here?
2:13
Can I not easily knock him out? Yes you can.
2:19
So as you swing your. Devil on my shoulder, Coyote.
2:22
You. Flip the bat around your wrist a
2:25
little bit and then shove the pommel of it against the back of
2:28
his neck and falls to the ground, unconscious and
2:32
bleeding. He likely has a concussion, but
2:34
he's probably not going to die. And then I am going to move a
2:39
little bit more forward and see about my neck my next turn,
2:43
taking out one of these other goons.
2:45
Yeah, he didn't seem very gregarious.
2:47
One of the guards in the room, the one that Retro shot, took a
2:52
step back. Standing right in front of you.
2:54
VV He gets out his assault rifle pointed at you and fires.
2:58
Fires at me. Yeah, 14 so completely misses
3:03
you more with these bullets. I should just use my pistol.
3:07
Fuck. Yo, I'm going to get another one
3:09
of these three goons in this encounter, and I guess I'll run
3:17
up here, take us to the people that have the guts, and I'm
3:20
going to hit with my baseball bat.
3:22
Roll for it. 22 that. Is high.
3:25
Yeah, it is high. That's some peanut butter Jelly
3:27
time right there. That is 8 fuck off.
3:30
That is a super what I would refer to as a super crit where
3:33
you roll A1 and then a 10. This guy.
3:36
As you hit him, he embarrassingly falls.
3:39
Over. Knocking the computer to his
3:41
left, which causes it to go into lockdown mode for 10 minutes,
3:45
which means they don't get back up now and then.
3:51
As he looks up at you, the bat hits him in the face, causing
3:55
him 17 damage. OK, one more, one more.
3:58
Let's go 21. 21 and his evasion is 10.
4:04
Miss it, He's he's bad at this. And you hit him again for how
4:10
much damage? 99 damage, which is five.
4:14
He gets a critical injury. You snap his arm in half and he
4:18
puts his other arm just up. I.
4:21
Don't I just rub that I'm done, he?
4:24
Gets into the fetal position. Oh, there is only one guy left
4:28
in this room who is not incapacitated.
4:32
All right, it's not my turn. It's retro's turn.
4:36
I shoot him. All right, this is that guy.
4:40
Shoot his ass. Let's go.
4:43
I am one, if not true to my word. 20 Yes, he he he gets hit
4:50
with bullets, 17 damage. Yes.
4:53
I made him into what people with the colour delicacy of Swiss
4:57
cheese. Critical injury and you tear a
5:02
muscle in his hip and he now gets -2 to melee.
5:05
Oh. Fuck, we're getting really
5:08
fucked up in here, boys. Good thing that the door there
5:10
will let reinforcements. Why is it locked?
5:13
Sorry, I fucked up. I will quit.
5:15
Fail. It's bad.
5:17
The GM didn't expect anybody to fight in this room.
5:19
No, I know. Are you talking to yourself?
5:23
I. Mean.
5:24
Because your friends are downed look.
5:29
It it's a thing that I do sometimes.
5:31
I'm very sorry. You're now talking to a
5:33
completely different guard who looks exactly the same.
5:36
Sorry. All right, you're going down.
5:38
But no, no and combat is over. I'm in pain.
5:42
I would prefer. All right.
5:44
Like you can just sit there then, OK?
5:47
All right, you tell us where the people who have the organs are.
5:52
I don't. Look, I'm just a God.
5:54
You'd have to ask. Like figure it out.
5:56
Executive look in the other room.
6:01
There has been gunfire in here, though, so you might have
6:03
trouble. Doing stuff.
6:05
We should move quickly. How do you get in the store?
6:08
I'm. I'm on the floor Do.
6:10
You have a key card. Yeah, but I locked in for 10.
6:14
Minutes. So we have to sit here for 7
6:16
minutes. There's no way to override.
6:17
That. Retro as you're sort of looking
6:19
around this room, you see that there are two exits to this
6:22
hallway from where you came from, one to the West and one to
6:25
the east. To the east is a door to the
6:27
bathroom. To the West is the door to the
6:29
rest of the building, the waiting area and the adjuster
6:31
offices and security. But this other door that got
6:34
locked, that's kind of where we need to go, right?
6:36
It is one way you could go. One way we can go.
6:39
I'm saying to you. There's also air ducts.
6:42
That's what I was about to say. Time to time to vent, Sassies.
6:46
Let's fucking go. I guess we're going through the
6:49
vents. Where I'm right now is that an
6:50
air duct because I see some space.
6:53
So what you retro? Yes.
6:54
Role perception. Yeah.
6:55
So you're looking at the wall at the edge of this corridor, and
6:58
as you look up to this vent you have a look at it.
7:01
You're looking nice and close and you put your your hand up to
7:04
it and a huge gust of dust flies out of it and a a wet tissue
7:12
sticks to your head and goes into one of your vent, whirs
7:15
around a little bit and spits out the other side, causing you
7:18
-1 HP. But you have still discovered
7:21
that there is a vent in this wall.
7:22
Not access to it, just a grate to it, But there is a vent on
7:26
this wall A. Vented more damage to you than
7:29
anybody in that. Do you want to do anything to
7:37
these dudes because they're kind of incapacitate?
7:39
They haven't called the backup yet.
7:40
No. Can we rob them?
7:42
Yes, Cyberpunk. OK, I rob them.
7:45
Yeah, it's cyberpunk. Bitch, give me some eddies.
7:49
I'm going to. Yeah.
7:50
What am I rolling for? Perception.
7:52
You can roll Perception. You could roll Conceal Reveal
7:55
Object. Bureaucracy you.
7:57
Can roll bureaucracy, that is. Abortionist.
8:02
Justify. I'll let you roll it, but you
8:03
have to justify it. No, I like conceal reveal object
8:07
probably for this. They probably got some good
8:10
stuff because I've seen tougher security at limited stands.
8:14
Got them? Very mean, I think I look pretty
8:16
good actually. Oh, a 10.
8:18
Oh, a 10. Oh.
8:19
Another 10 26. 26 Can You Find 260 Eddies?
8:27
Woo. 260 richer just. Over all of them, you have
8:31
robbed these three dudes. Do you tie them up in the
8:33
process so they don't fight back?
8:35
I think we should, and I'm going to heal them as I tie them up,
8:39
which is like oxymoron, but you know EV.
8:42
No, no. No, no, no, no.
8:44
No. No, no, no.
8:45
Shoot this one dead. All right, Retro.
8:49
I don't know if we need to do all of that.
8:52
I said what I said. I don't know if we.
8:55
Make me a liar if I don't. Doing all of that, I don't, I
9:00
guess. I mean whatever.
9:02
It would be really nice if you didn't kill him.
9:05
I'm not your mom. Do whatever you want.
9:06
Who gives a shit? Somebody better persuade me or
9:08
something, because I'm going to do it.
9:09
Retro, I just met you. I don't even know you.
9:13
Retro look, I know he said some mean things to you, but we
9:18
should just These guys are just a bunch of mooks.
9:21
Let's just leave them. Please, I'm, I'm sorry.
9:24
Look, if you, if you tie me up and maybe like knock me out, I
9:27
don't want to feel this. Pain.
9:28
If you want to knock his knock him out unconscious, that's
9:31
fine. No.
9:31
No, no, no, go ahead and tie him up.
9:33
I'll feel the pain. If I'm not going to be able to
9:35
kill them, they're going to suffer through that pain, then
9:37
oh. Come on.
9:38
Jim, all right. I mean, we could kill them.
9:40
And take their organs. Though.
9:42
After. That so.
9:44
Yeah, you did, Phoebe. You did, Phoebe, you did say
9:47
that earlier. That was you who was like the
9:50
organs. God, these guys are fucked up.
9:56
I heard. I heard that the people who hang
9:58
out the Bubble Cafe are like, cool and light.
9:59
But this is fucked. I don't know about you.
10:01
Oh, I'm cool. All right.
10:03
And then I shoot his hand. Roll for it.
10:07
What am I roll? Just great weapon Attack roll
10:10
for gun 20? Yeah.
10:13
You shoot his hand For how much damage?
10:15
Oh, that's a crit. 66 is baby. It was an aim shot already. 19.
10:20
So now it. Has no, it has no working hand.
10:23
Oh. Fuck.
10:26
I'm going to use my fidget. Now I'm the coolest tomb you'll
10:29
ever meet, bitch. And.
10:31
Then BB ties them up with some 50 foot of hemp rope that they
10:35
have. On their bag, yeah.
10:37
And my adventurers pack? Yeah, I have.
10:41
The in the. Hallway or do you take them into
10:43
the bathroom? Let's throw them in the
10:44
bathroom. Good.
10:46
I kind of need actually no I. Was on a toilet OK?
10:50
And you? Show these people on in
10:52
individual cubicles, I'm assuming.
10:53
Individual stalls, each on a toilet.
10:56
I take a selfie with V with the guys tied up on the on the.
11:00
Toilet. Just to send a little.
11:04
She gives a little cute heart pose.
11:07
Finger hearts with the guys. Yeah, perfect.
11:12
And you're all now in the bathroom.
11:13
All right, retro. You found a vent or something?
11:18
Yeah, but it's out in the hallway, not in the bathroom.
11:22
And now you're in the bathroom. Do you want to roll perception?
11:24
Sure, sure. But don't have another, not one
11:26
like Roll 20s been giving me all night.
11:29
As you look around, you notice that there is a break on the N
11:32
wall in the number of toilets and in that space is the event
11:37
for the HVAC system VV. You find that it is open.
11:41
Oh, it looks like we might be able to get through this way.
11:45
Look at that. I'm going to try to enter in the
11:52
HVAC system right in the vent. And VV disappears into the
11:55
vents. Do you two follow?
11:57
Yeah. I guess so.
11:59
All right. Wow, these are really long
12:01
vents. What the?
12:02
This building's bigger than I thought.
12:04
Come out to the bubble tea, we'll get together, have a few
12:07
laughs. We're helping people.
12:11
We're getting organs. We're saving.
12:13
Solving your love triangle. Yeah, I get it.
12:16
Whoa, whoa. What's the triangle part?
12:20
I don't know what he's referring to.
12:23
Oh, you know exactly what I'm referring to.
12:37
Night City. If you look at a map of North
12:40
America, somewhere on the western edge, you'd see an inky
12:42
black dot with fingers pressing into the side of the continent.
12:46
That's where you find Night City.
12:48
And somewhere in the middle of that inky black dot is a giant
12:51
smoking hole. Like the universe itself drew
12:54
iron and shot straight through the city.
12:57
Radiation turned the sky red. But our story starts a little
13:01
further South. In a dive bar, the shortstop
13:06
Welcome to Night City and welcome to cyberpunk Edge of
13:09
Extinction. Infinite Sided Dice presents
13:13
Cyberpunk Edge of Extinction, a cyberpunk red actual play.
13:17
Watch now at youtube.com Slash at Infinite Sided Dice.
13:22
Catch you later tunes. And the three of you make your
13:40
way out of the vent and into a hallway, maybe.
13:44
Takes another one of her nicotine pockies from.
13:50
Her. Little pouch takes a bite.
13:53
All right, we got to find any evidence for these organs where
13:59
they're keeping them. Let's search.
14:03
Yeah, let's search. You have the receipt from the
14:07
confiscation of Chad's organs on you.
14:11
If you want to examine that to find out more, which you did not
14:14
do at the time, you may. What else was on the receipt?
14:21
Probably wasn't worth much. What you notice as that his
14:25
Adjuster's name is roll for it. The Adjuster's name is Sid, and
14:30
he works in Office Cubicle D because you rolled A crit, so
14:34
you get to find out where he works as well, Otherwise you
14:37
would have had to search. If you're walking into this
14:39
hallway, please roll stealth. Stealth Oh, I didn't have my
14:43
phone out. Stupid. 12 Yes, good retro You
14:50
are a silent man with a giant TV for a head rolling of 20.
14:54
What can I say? I'm on.
14:56
I'm. I'm on running silent mode right
14:57
now. Oh. 28.
15:01
Amazing. So in the confusion near the
15:04
door, the few gunshots that were muffled through the wall, all of
15:09
the guards for this hallway have gone to the door that is still
15:13
locked and they're trying to work out what's going on.
15:15
You can hear them talking in the background.
15:17
Oh. Did you put the wrong code in?
15:18
No, I didn't put the wrong code in.
15:20
Look from the other side. Well, what we're going to do.
15:22
There's no fire, is there? We're all going to die, Chop.
15:25
It's going to be fine. And you walk over down the
15:28
hallway. You can see as you walk down
15:30
there are vending machines on either side and on the ground
15:32
there are these letters for the different offices.
15:36
Yeah, this one over here, says GIH.
15:39
I quietly point to room that says DC and D and I quietly
15:45
point to the others that room. We gotta get, we gotta get some
15:49
C&D. We gotta.
15:51
We gotta. Go to Office D That way they're
15:55
distracted and I I head into CICD.
16:02
I follow. CID OK.
16:04
And they're sitting at Cubicle D is a guy with a name tag on that
16:10
says Sid Do. You got sunglasses on?
16:13
You walk into this shared office that's been divided into two
16:17
offices, but really is probably originally meant to be one.
16:22
And there's this guy Sid, who looks a bit sad at a desk.
16:26
Hello. Hello, are you Sid?
16:31
Yeah, do you have your case number?
16:34
Yes, I do. One moment as I pull it up.
16:38
It is a claim number K-0568 one dash chapter. 2 kidneys in lieu
16:52
of payment, Three months reason for not payment.
16:58
Hoverboard payment plan. Oh no.
17:04
That's just not a Smervin in No, that's not on you.
17:07
That's. A hoverboard.
17:09
Yeah, what about the hoverboard? It just says the reason he the
17:12
customer stated they could not pay us because they were paying
17:14
for a hoverboard for a friend. So this is all my fault.
17:20
It's not your fault. It's his fault.
17:22
He made the choice. He made the choice, not you.
17:24
It's on him. He's missing both kidneys, is
17:26
he? He's not dead, according to the
17:27
T organ. No, we did get.
17:30
A oh, no, we got it. We got it.
17:32
We got a tamper report here. Mr. Sid, Sir, I need to I need
17:39
those kidneys back. Please.
17:41
Well. I don't.
17:43
He looks around. Do you?
17:44
Think I have them here. Where do you Where are they?
17:47
But we use a third party to take care of.
17:49
So what's the third party I keep hearing?
17:51
Third party? What's the company?
17:53
Proprietary information. Well, why don't why don't you
17:55
tell us what it is so my friend here doesn't get anymore upset.
18:01
While Coyote and VV are berating this gentleman in this tiny
18:05
office Retro, are you just standing there?
18:08
Anything else? Well, sad.
18:11
Well, Retro is kind of doesn't like the look of sad sack Sid
18:15
and is going to come over to this empty cubicle and just kind
18:18
of go, oh, there's a computer here, nobody's looking and kind
18:22
of precept. I don't think anybody can see me
18:24
from here. They cannot.
18:25
I'll just jump on here and see what I can find.
18:29
Roll Electronic Security Tech. Do I have to?
18:32
Yes. All right. 29.
18:38
I could have 20. 9. Better.
18:42
I mean, that is almost legendary.
18:43
One more point when I made it. Legendary, right?
18:46
And you find a confidential memo that was circulated as part of
18:50
the IRS. What do you do with this memo,
18:53
Retro? I read it silently in my head.
18:56
Team Our deal with the trauma team continues.
19:00
Organ shortage has. Been very lucrative for both
19:02
sides. Any adjuster that gets a mark to
19:05
use the referral code trauma under score IRS will get a 2%
19:11
kickback on a completed Trauma team Silver or higher
19:14
subscription sign up. After all, TT does have organs.
19:19
Ha, ha, ha, ha. Ha, trauma.
19:22
Team The market will need organs soon.
19:24
The shorter the shortage is planned to end in one month, so
19:27
get your commissions in before we have to build up more debt in
19:31
the population. During the downtime, continue to
19:33
offer the increased interest on temporary organs at a normal
19:37
starting price. No need to cut into profits.
19:39
This will keep us in the black till the next constructive
19:42
shortage. As always, any discussion with
19:44
the public or press will lead to termination, legal action and
19:48
possible loss of company installed organs and upgrade.
19:50
Man, my editor is going to have a field day with this.
19:54
And as retro is reading this. Well, we can offer an extension
19:59
on the tea organ. I can send a signal to keep him
20:02
alive for longer than 72 hours, but that is 150 Eddie's a day.
20:11
I hate my job. Look, there's got to be
20:15
something you can do here. Like, look, this job sucks,
20:20
right? What if?
20:21
What if you were be able to get something better?
20:25
You know, like a job at trauma team.
20:28
A job at Trauma team? Yeah, I mean.
20:31
Already. Worked for I mean.
20:33
How about Biotechnica? They pay real good.
20:37
Oh. They do pay real good and
20:39
they've. They've got pretty good health
20:40
insurance, right? Pretty decent, yeah, you know.
20:43
They only they only offer tea organs here.
20:47
What if I were to a able to help get you a job at Biotechnica?
20:52
Would you be able to help me like, I don't know, get my
20:55
friend a bit of a longer extension than just a couple of
20:59
days, you know? I mean, if you can get me a good
21:01
job, I'll I mean. Rope, Rope, Persuasion is.
21:09
There a preschool. Yes, there should.
21:12
Probably. Be if I can find it on this
21:16
conflabbed. Sheet.
21:18
Oh, that's not good. I should have put luck into that
21:20
poop. 10 I'm a little against it.
21:24
That is a six he meets soon. He has a cool of four, but he
21:27
does meet. Tigers defender, so it does not
21:30
work. Look, man, I haven't fucking
21:33
hate my job. I don't want to put someone on
21:37
Teogan. All right, Retro will come back.
21:39
At this point, he's going to walk up to said.
21:42
Hey buddy, you know I'm doing a report right now on the IRS and
21:47
how you are handling it and so I wanted to know what.
21:52
You're in here. Media is not allowed in the
21:54
building. I well, here's the thing, see
21:57
with your contacts with trauma team in being your third party
22:00
and taking organs and creating the shortage, what particular
22:09
team do you usually work through?
22:11
Like do you have that within your system for this particular
22:14
item? Roll the face down.
22:17
Oh, right. Great.
22:21
I rolled A1 and A3. I rolled A1 and A10.
22:25
Lol. Yeah, but you.
22:27
But you still beat him because you have he.
22:32
He has a cool of. Four -1.
22:34
Right. What did you get?
22:36
Call plus reputation plus one D 10, right?
22:38
Yeah. So what's your score?
22:40
My my score would be the what's 12 and then is it plus one and
22:46
then -10 No. It's just -10.
22:48
Oh, so 2. Yeah.
22:49
So they got one. Literally.
22:52
So this is the most uncool face down you've ever.
22:55
Much uncool, face down. It's embarrassing to watch Retro
22:59
just sort of fumble as well as Sid fumble because he heard
23:01
Trauma Team, so he's just shitting himself.
23:03
Well no we're not allowed to because the the there's no
23:07
affiliation officially with I don't mean at all with trauma
23:11
team we don't, we don't disclose.
23:15
Who? We sell the organs, store the
23:19
organs with oh fuck, I'm getting fired, aren't I?
23:24
What drama teams involved in this?
23:26
You know what? Sit, Sit.
23:27
Have a seat. Have a seat.
23:29
I'm already sitting. Good, good.
23:30
OK, sit. So yeah, with our compensation,
23:34
you know, you know why you're here, right?
23:36
Because Chad needs new kidneys. Exactly.
23:39
Good job. OK, and so yes, and you've
23:43
you've you've made this very awkward.
23:45
In which my awkward sentence. Are going off and puts it face
23:51
down on the desk. You can choose when to reveal it
23:54
to everyone, you just let me know.
23:55
I haven't seen paper in so long. I'm.
24:02
Just going to slam on the table. So yeah, right there there's the
24:06
memo that went out that had gone.
24:08
That's confidential. You're not allowed to, yeah.
24:11
Yeah, I know it states confidential, but it doesn't
24:13
come that confidential when people just give it to me.
24:15
So you know, you should really work on that.
24:19
So what I want to know is, Sid, would you prefer to have your
24:26
full name within the article? Or would you prefer to just not
24:30
be mentioned perp at all? Oh.
24:32
Oh, option two. Good.
24:34
Now they'll send someone to kill me, I'm fairly certain.
24:37
So here's the thing. Because I'm the only one in this
24:39
office, because the other guy here, they shot him.
24:42
So, like, I'm if you got it from this office, that's track of I'm
24:47
fucked. Yeah, now here's the thing, sad
24:49
sack. I need you to give me more
24:52
information on this in order for me not to be able to divulge a
24:55
name because I protect my sources.
24:57
We're a we're a third party repossession service.
25:00
Trauma team doesn't want the bad price.
25:02
So they hire us to do it and we give them the organs and then
25:04
they clean them and sell them. To me, I need to have the
25:07
information on where they keep these particular organs, so that
25:10
way I. Can keep them at any of the
25:11
trauma team sites because they'll get tracked because all
25:13
of these have serial numbers. So one of these.
25:15
Are inside of us. Apartment.
25:19
Which executive? What apartment?
25:22
You better start talking. You won't have to worry about
25:24
Trauma Team shooting you because I'm going to shoot.
25:26
You Doctor Shade. He's like a mid level exec.
25:29
I applied for a job and he told me to get fucked.
25:32
You probably deserved it. OK.
25:37
All right, now here's the thing, Set said.
25:40
You are now under my protection as everyone.
25:44
Everyone roll. No retro roll perception.
25:47
OK, I got my perception glasses on.
26:01
That's a nine. Cool.
26:05
Something happens, but you don't know what it is.
26:07
Continue. Anyways, Sid, you are now under
26:10
you know my protection is source and will not leak any of your
26:13
information. Even if the guys come into a
26:15
legal battle, they cannot do anything about that, a
26:18
particular thing and so I need you to baby right?
26:21
So keep going. Go ahead and you know, start
26:25
working out your affairs and you know, put a smile on your face.
26:30
You look sad. As he's like nodding at retro
26:33
while he says this, and you can notice that his right hand is
26:36
feverishly pressing something underneath his desk.
26:42
I dive across the desk and tackle him down.
26:47
Don't press that button. Rob rolling.
26:50
Oh God. Get his ass.
26:54
Where is this? There it is.
26:56
I keep forgetting to lock. Tracy Lock.
27:01
That's a one and a two. No, no, You knock him over, he
27:05
falls backwards and he has pushed the button, but you've
27:09
stopped him from pushing it again.
27:12
Don't. Don't kill me.
27:13
They'll be here soon and they'll kill you.
27:15
They they're usually here within 3 to 6 minutes.
27:17
Not a big system, you. Better get out of here.
27:20
Sid, you have now just ruined your chances in being a
27:23
protected source. Thanks.
27:25
We're out to take that paper. Put it in my back.
27:27
Sid, you're going on file. OK, I'm.
27:30
Just doing my job and I shoot him.
27:33
Your job didn't mean to take that fucking button.
27:36
Wait, no, no, no, Technicolor Cowboy.
27:38
I'm really. Bang. 18 Yep, that hits real
27:43
damage. You 11.
27:47
Are you point blank? Sure, yeah, whatever.
27:49
Just shooting him. Are you?
27:50
Shooting him in the head or just in general?
27:52
Just in general, don't matter. Just sick of him.
27:58
That's regular damage. Regular damage.
28:00
You do 11 damage to this guy and he's he doesn't.
28:03
He didn't have a lot of health to begin with.
28:04
He goes below half health and you've shot him through the
28:06
kneecap. Oh fuck.
28:08
Oh, the claims on limbs is really expensive.
28:11
You're a prick. You're a fucking corporate sell
28:14
out bitch, you. Can get fucked.
28:21
Get fucked, I punch him in the face.
28:23
I. Throw I throw some gauze on the
28:25
ground to wrap it up. All right, guys, let's get out
28:27
of here. Oh.
28:29
Fuck. Oh, not my nose.
28:31
Yeah, 17. And I piled out of this office.
28:35
Now I throw a painkiller on the ground.
28:38
Phoebe, stop it. Just let him die.
28:40
He's a fucking corporal. He might as well be.
28:43
He's a sellout for woman. Phoebe is growing.
28:47
They they just threw it on the ground they didn't even like.
28:49
Administer. Yeah.
28:52
And you keep calling Phoebe. She'll never get over it.
28:55
As you're having this conversation in the hallway, did
28:57
you? Hear the alarm.
28:58
I did hear the alarm. And a bunch of guards poke their
29:00
head out. Hey, what are you doing here?
29:03
You're not in the waiting area. No, we're not.
29:05
We were just. Leaving our appointment.
29:07
Are you running? No, we're walking, calmly,
29:10
casually. We look like we belong.
29:13
OK, roll for that. Someone pressed the alarm and
29:17
you're walking out of the room. The alarm went off on.
29:20
They said there was an emergency, so.
29:22
We're leaving. Is this straight pool?
29:25
No. No, no, no.
29:26
This is persuasion or acting one of the two. 17.
29:30
Persuasion. I'm going to add 3 luck to this
29:33
role 12/13/14 11. 11. It is a trivial thing to
29:40
convince a guard that you are waiting for an appointment in a
29:43
place that you will be waiting for an appointment.
29:45
So you all pass the DV. The door is now unlocked after
29:50
the shenanigans of what has happened.
29:52
It has been past 10 minutes and you find yourselves back in the
29:56
hallway, through the waiting area, past a bunch of people who
29:59
look very depressed, like they've been waiting for a
30:02
while, and back towards the front of the building.
30:06
Retro. You step into the lobby and
30:08
nobody has moved. So true.
30:11
Unsurprising so. True.
30:13
Oh my God, what are they doing? Yeah, what's the point of
30:20
signing up online if they're going to make you wait?
30:23
Line anyway signing up in. The garden.
30:25
Am I right? Hello.
30:27
Personally, what is the point? What is the point of all of?
30:31
This. Let's start.
30:32
Let's start. I'm.
30:33
Surprised that people both here in this waiting line and in that
30:37
waiting room back there aren't standing up for your rights,
30:40
'cause. There's a bunch of adjusters in
30:42
there just sitting around twiddling their thumbs like a
30:44
guy named Sid who ain't doing shit back there.
30:46
And they're just making you all wait while making you raising
30:50
your fucking interest on there while you're just sitting here
30:52
like a bunch of sad sacks. Don't be stretched back, Sid.
30:56
You know where our. You know, our night city tax
30:59
dollars go toward these jobs where they're doing absolutely
31:02
nothing. And you know, as in late stage
31:05
capitalism, your time is a currency your.
31:08
Time is valuable. Please calm down.
31:13
That's what they want you to do. They want you to calm down
31:15
because they're trying to suppress your voices.
31:17
Yeah, a private company I. Roll the 20.
31:23
Everybody in the room starts to have a bit of a riot and you can
31:27
use this to leave. Yeah, I take my glow paint on
31:30
the way out and I just tag the wall.
31:34
Roll something further how good the tag is.
31:36
It's so good. Yeah, you do it, Night City.
31:40
You fight back against our rest. You do it for your love, right,
31:44
Diggy? Yes, we do.
31:46
It for love. Fight back for love.
31:51
I'm glad, Vivi, you finally admitted.
31:52
This is all for love. Great.
31:54
It's love for It's a platonic love between me and Vivi.
31:57
Love for friendship? Yeah, that's what I'm saying. 10
32:02
on the Pink or Oxford. It is mid.
32:06
It's. A pretty good.
32:07
It doesn't need to be good. It's a mid tag.
32:10
It's OK and you pile into the car and you leave this area as
32:14
quickly as possible. You don't know where his
32:17
apartment is, though. Let's find him.
32:20
Let's kill him. Searching the garden.
32:23
Sweet. Roll for it.
32:25
Yes. One moment 16. 16 Yeah, no, that
32:31
is genuinely enough a difficult task to find someone's address
32:35
in Knight City is 15, I would say, and you discover that
32:40
Doctor Shade lives in the glass district.
32:42
The glass district, it's not a rich, I was going to say.
32:46
You've been there before. It's where Claire's apartment
32:48
was. It's very posh.
32:49
It's a nice place. Of course, this guy lives in a
32:52
really nice neighbourhood. No matter.
32:54
All right, well, I found Doctor Shade's address, so if you want
32:58
to put that in your GPS, head on over.
33:02
There sweet we go all. Right, and you head towards
33:07
Doctor Shade's apartment in the Glass district.
33:11
Can I get a driving check please?
33:13
Driving cool Is this to find parking again?
33:18
Yeah. Because this is Night City and
33:19
we roll for parking. I guess.
33:22
So we do always roll for parking.
33:24
Love that for us. Roll for Parking 22. 22 Yeah,
33:30
you find a great space. It is.
33:33
It's over 20. It's free.
33:35
Free parking. Wow.
33:37
Whoa. This is a.
33:38
Rarity. Like we would pay it anyway,
33:40
but. Yeah, the meters paid for like 4
33:42
hours. Someone got went in a rush.
33:46
All right. OK.
33:48
I think it might be this building here where his
33:50
apartment is. I still don't have a really a
33:53
plan here, you know, plans are not a thing that I do.
33:58
Plan as plan as we get kidneys and then we kill them, right he.
34:04
This is not a good person. This is a corpo.
34:06
This is objectively a Corpo. We can kill him.
34:11
I mean, to be fair also, you've also just found out that trauma
34:14
team is working with I've doing organ theft and jacking up the
34:20
prices. I can't believe Trauma Team
34:22
would be behind this. I I interned with them, I work
34:25
for them. Yeah, bro, they're bad.
34:28
It's a company. You can't trust it.
34:30
But they're like the only company that actually, like,
34:34
tries to help people. Yeah, but it's all privatized
34:36
healthcare. It's all like guys, yo, we're so
34:39
good. We help people, we make them
34:40
feel better and and you stop, pay up, asshole.
34:43
And you have to pay up the asshole to get any kind of
34:48
coverage. I mean, medical care should be a
34:51
human, right? Personally, that is what I
34:54
believe. Vivi, this is what I was saying.
34:56
That's why I try to help Rancho. That's why the Rancho Coronado
35:00
Roosters are the number one fucking team.
35:02
Fucking trauma team sucks. I guess you're right.
35:07
I don't know what that means. Do you want to explain it to me?
35:12
Explain the joke or we? It's roller Derby team.
35:15
I cheer for trauma team. You know I.
35:17
Cheer for the I cheer for the Coronado Roosters Woo.
35:22
All right, you guys are right. Trauma team sucks and let's the
35:27
system. OK, listen.
35:29
Yeah. Let's get some kidneys and.
35:33
This system? Fuck.
35:34
This system. Fuck this system.
35:37
Fuck this system. Let's go you've.
35:40
Taken the elevator up you've had.
35:42
A. Very high floor in this, in this
35:44
very posh building. Oh, my ears.
35:45
Popped as the elevator open the. Building here again hearing the
35:49
singing like growing concerned. Do you hear someone in the in
35:56
the in the elevator that's snuggled next to it for the
35:58
other building being like, wow, that's slap.
36:02
That's what I'm saying, guys. Maybe I should get into music.
36:04
I feel like I'm just such a creative spirit.
36:06
Very much away in front of you is a stairway down at the very
36:09
end to vending machines on the left wall and the door to Doctor
36:14
Shades apartment on the right. I kicked the door down.
36:21
Do it. Roll for it.
36:25
What do you want? Me to do it, roll for it.
36:28
Brawling athletics. Roll kick down door.
36:31
Contortion. Contortionism.
36:33
No. No, no brawling.
36:35
Cracking. Electronic security tech if you
36:38
want to do it like. Electronic.
36:40
How would you do that? It's it's a Fonzi, obviously.
36:44
Can I do dance? If you want to do a Fonzi, yeah.
36:52
No, I'll just. Anything that's anything that's
36:55
not actually tech, we just call it a Fonzi.
36:57
Yeah, 22. 2222 Yes, it was a 21 to kick this door open.
37:09
Coyotes here. I'm here to fuck you.
37:12
Up kick the door open and you you see a Fairy Posh Corpo
37:19
standing in the middle of his living room, holding a cup of
37:22
coffee, and he looks at you. What?
37:23
The fuck are? You doing here?
37:25
I shoot him oh. Fuck.
37:41
Next time on no latency side quest.
37:46
Come here, you little Corp. Oh shit.
37:48
Well then I'd shoot him in the leg.
37:49
Just keep looking around retro. You may have a PhD.
37:52
I'd spread into the other room. But I have a masters and ass
37:55
kicking. I'll flatline you right here.
37:57
I don't give a fuck. Ow.
37:59
Looks like you just got written a prescription for pain.
38:01
What if we just take these crates of organs and give them
38:04
to those people that were waiting in line?
38:06
That's a great idea, Coyote. I'll be here ready for radio
38:10
contact. I think we should give back to
38:12
the people. Look at this guy.
38:14
He sucks. I could just jump off the
38:17
balcony like he did. You call yourself a doctor.
38:20
You're nothing more than a quack in a lap.
38:22
Everyone Boo him. Try to evade this one too.
38:25
It's a little room temp, but it's still.
38:27
Good Woo. Was it water on the knee?
38:31
That's the coolest shit I ever seen.
38:32
No, it was operation. Good job, retro.
38:35
This was an awesome first day to get to know you.
38:38
Coyote. Hold up.
38:39
Can't stop me, can't stop the groove.

No, you need medical attention immediately.
