10:52
Okay, let me read these reports. Okay, the first one is a note
10:59
about Smith says, Smith is under our control as from arisaka.
11:06

11:32

11:36
We've grass shots. Alright arisaka.
11:41
So is Smith is under our control Asset is secure and we can play
11:45
Smith until they are no longer useful.
11:48
When Smith becomes too much to handle, we will terminate
11:52
interesting. It says wind Smith becomes too
11:54
much to handle. New line, we will terminate
11:58
period. Their wishes are never to be
12:01
met. They are our pain blackwall must
12:05
not follow management, blah, blah, blah or soccer.
12:07
I'm looking there is no code on here that I can decipher great.
12:12
So that is Um, arisaka, The Grow report?
12:17
Do you know anything about this girl report window?
12:20
Oh, but if you'll grow. Yes that was a the the one that
12:24
makes you more swallow or something.
12:26
I only read the initial report of adding about a year ago I
12:31
haven't been working on this at all.
12:32
So I'm not very familiar now. It's a sister Department, body,
12:37
fuel, grow progress, report, 47, we need to extend the deadline,
12:41
the product is not ready. A dose increase of 8% has caused
12:45
rage body deformation, abnormal, body growth, and death for
12:49
subjects have been lost to the dosage test mixing body, fill
12:54
grow and body fuel B is incredibly dangerous results are
12:58
almost instant and the effects are exponential.
13:02
The subject just keeps growing, and eventually becomes a violent
13:07
angry, massive teeth and flesh. I do not recommend mixing these
13:10
drugs. Oh wow.
13:11
Oh, that seems bad. Wow, there's so many teeth.
13:15
It's it's horrific. That's it says right here.
13:17
There are so many teeth. It's horrific.
13:19
I wrote it down. That's the B part, I think.
13:22
Yes, I know that be CT shows soon.
13:26
I advise finding something else to present to the shareholders.
13:29
This shit is not ready, dr. Hamilton, Hmm.
13:35
Okay, interesting. And then this is, I just fill up
13:41
law something on the Node. So oh friend.
13:43
L, somebody else has this report that I'm about to read and I
13:48
don't know how good it is and so here we go.
13:51
Doctor we do not pay you to tell me what is wrong.
13:53
We pay you to fix the problem. The product will be ready for
13:57
presentation, Wednesday, disappoint me.
13:58
And you will be the next bag of Flesh with extra teeth.
14:02
Wow, wow. Wow, there's a lot going on
14:05
here. I'm not going to finish reading
14:06
it because I think that it might have been read already on the
14:08
podcast, but it does say below that.
14:11
It's from Smith's desk Smith at body fuel b. .B t, interesting.
14:19
I guess we should get a hold of Smith I guess we should.
14:23
And as you finish up a perusing the documents it's the door to
14:27
the bar opens and in walks a tall gentleman.
14:34
I look around to see if somebody could somebody looks off any
14:41
interest like barkeep or at the bar is a tall.
14:47
Slender bald human wearing a no latency like logo on the front
14:55
and they're clean. Gloss looking at you.
14:58
Hello. And I hope makes will approach
15:02
him and set down his head and shades as s.
15:07

15:14
after card game. I don't know if you've been know
15:18

15:22
Um, so You want to find? I own one side, a owner.
15:30

15:46

15:54
Nice to meet you Max. Do you want a drink?
15:58
Yes, why not? Oh, you like, what got

16:14

16:19
human perception. Do it?
16:20
Try try coward. It's just there's some
16:24
possibility. Awesome. 23:23.
16:34
That's a crate. You see it.
16:35
Anyway, it was a very high, you get it, but we'll see.
16:40
Again, there's a person across the room who's sitting at a
16:44
table, they're looking at their device, which is a tile
16:47
different from an agent, a more disposable, and they're sitting
16:50
with another person who's wearing Abaya Technica jacket
16:53
and has a cybernetic leg. But Glowing green.
16:56
So, as he's the wink, he just quickly ask the barkeep again,
17:01
that Iona. And yes, it is.
17:04
Right. And I think places your drink on
17:06
the bar, looks you dead in the eyes and says, be careful.
17:10

17:19
that as well. Yes and Max I suppose you head
17:24
over to Iona. Yeah Iona you are approached by
17:29
a tall gentleman. You keep saying tall now and now
17:33
how tall is this? Very tall Gentleman on the head
17:37
and foot and foot and inches or in meters I don't know meeting
17:44
so I'm going to assume that it's like I don't know if they're
17:50
anything like just Div about him.
17:52
Is there any like obvious cybertek or?
17:56
Um, well, he looks like somebody who watched a few too many old
18:03
detective movies from the 90's and thought that was a cool
18:08
style. But yeah, he's like 65 66 days.
18:14
I don't start. Okay, six, that's a 650k toll.
18:21
We read all that is much taller than it's telling me.
18:25
I'm 62. I see it was tall person
18:27
approached, the table. Hello, hello.
18:33
You are gonna I'm sorry. Am I Who Are You Gonna, which I
18:39
own? Are you looking for?
18:42
Well, when I honor that might know, something about someone
18:47
who has to pay off some gambling debts.
18:51
Oh, shucks cards. Yeah, have a seat.
18:57
Thank you. Sits down, puts his hat and the
19:02
shades on that table. So, what happened?
19:10
Well, a lot of people will floats of interesting cybernetic
19:16
augmentations right next to their sleeves, but they can
19:20
store like a deck of cards. And me, you just went there
19:24
because a friend said it would be fun.
19:27
It is fun. It's a very fun place.
19:30
Yeah. Until you lose everything on
19:33
that and you wife shouldn't know about that.
19:38
How much did you lose? Do you want me to check?
19:42
I would like and what is your name?
19:47
Oh I'm sorry, I didn't introduce myself.
19:50
I'm detective next with the detective.
19:53
All right. Avondale, why don't you go ahead
19:57
and check but detective? I would also like you to tell me
20:02
how I lost a bit of count, but we wanted to get a child.
20:12
So we're like we had a bit of money saved up to enable them a
20:20
nice child on their thing and like that.
20:25
Yeah. I know how much is it. 12,000.
20:34
It's not that bad. We can we can work that out.
20:42
I would love that. You'll have to work for a while,
20:48
I guess so much. I mean, 12,000 is still 12,000,
20:52
even if we can't work. Now, I am more than welcome,
20:56
welcome to installments at a very fair rate. so you can pay
21:04
me back whenever you have the money.
21:09
Now, our standard interest is 23%.
21:15
Definitely. Yeah my guess.
21:20
I don't get a better offer anywhere in decent enough time.
21:25
So no mean you could always get the money from somebody else to
21:28
pay me off. But they will have a higher
21:30
interest rate. Yeah, that's what I was
21:35
thinking. I'm also not accustomed to
21:39
giving cops deals. Well.
21:46
But what I noticed that she is Capo, I mean, Max, grew up with
21:52
corporate wrong actual perception, okay?
21:56
Yeah, because Mandel's obviously wearing the biotechnical gear,
22:00
Iona, you historically have taken your jacket off a lot
22:03
lately. Mmm, see the stealth or human
22:05
perception for me? Yeah, that's what I'm thinking.
22:08
Okay, my stealth and human perception are the same.
22:10
So yes, you realize that they are a corporate as a successor
22:14
to Go over. Wanted to go with that.
22:19
If that helps you sleep at night, I'm a criminal
22:22
investigations. And I'm more looking into
22:25
organized crime than into cow pose.
22:29
So I have, you're not really somebody who I would say
22:34
investigate normally, I'll mark, a thousand dollars off a few.
22:37
Tell me what you're investigating right now.
22:42
All right, I'm Versa gating in case of human trafficking right
22:47
now we suspect that they are making illegal biddies as well
22:53
as selling them off shore. We just started that
22:58
investigation so I don't have too many details.
23:01
That's all right. Do you know?
23:03
Who roll a local expert, local expert team?
23:08
Yes, you know that people have been going missing.
23:13
The only link you have currently is that they had a medical
23:17
checkup within a month of being abducted.
23:20
So we don't have any direct suspicions of like a gang or
23:28
something, but the people who went missing, they had Medical.
23:33
Aksum like shortly before they went off the grid.
23:38
So Could be somebody related to the medical Fields, or has
23:47
somebody sitting there, but they said we just started
23:50
investigation. We don't have a real suspect
23:53
right now. Well I work in the medical
23:58
field. I'm with bio Technica.
24:02
Well I guess then maybe I said the wrong thing earlier.
24:08
No I like that. You told the truth, when Dale
24:10
can you go ahead and send a? Could you go ahead and take two
24:13
thousand dollars off of detectives total here, got it.
24:18
Thank you very much. You're welcome.
24:20
That's what most of the charity you're going to see.
24:24
I was surprised to see any. Why would you want to bring a
24:29
child tonight City? My wife wanted on my didn't have
24:32
anything to say against it. You are a cop here.
24:35
You you you seen what happens here?
24:39
Yes. I've seen the gritty underbelly
24:41
of the city. Why would why, why would you
24:44
want you specifically want to bring a child tonight, City?
24:48
I don't need to raise my voice at.
24:50
You didn't offend me. Well, when you take a my
24:57
surroundings, my parents are not and wealthy and I'm not living
25:03
in the bad neighborhood of town, but it's still good enough odds
25:08
that our kid might survive. So yeah, the fair, then the
25:15
whole deal about making kits, this kind of fun.
25:19
Sure. As he says that I'm gonna squirt
25:22
some hand sanitizer Parole for it.
25:25
And as your squirting hand sanitizer, the daughter know
25:28
Layton sees staircase, opens, always 17 and very clearly.
25:34
You've never stolen. You can smell kind of, well as
25:37
well. You smell this, like very crisp,
25:41
lemon smell as I'm like, very vigorously.
25:45
Like wiping sanitizer into my hands.
25:48
You can see that there's a small pump in each one of my wrists.
25:54
But pretty sanitizer, Max won't comment on it, not to offend the
26:01
person that maybe payoff is that nice.
26:07
And as all of, this is happening the door to no latency opens.
26:10
And in walks the anchor for channel 54, April anonymous,
26:26

I would need to be April scans. The bar taking in, where the bar
28:12
is, where all the seats are and proceeds directly toward the
28:18
bar, hello. Hello.
28:23
Hi there. I'd like a scotch, of course,
28:26
April else. Do you need?
28:30
I that would be all for. Now, I'm very honored that, you
28:36
know who I am. I wouldn't be a very good fixer
28:39
if I didn't know who you were. What's your name?
28:43
I'm ping ping. Lovely, to officially meet you
28:46
paying. I'm April YouTube.
28:51
Of course. Your crew, can I get a couple of
28:54
ice cubes? And that Scotch, of course, they
28:57
grab a pair of metal tongs and clink, three ice cubes into your
29:02
blah. You even know how many ice cubes
29:05
I take course I do. I wouldn't be a very good fixer
29:09
if I didn't course not. Well, I can tell you are a very
29:13
good fixer. Hmm.
29:17
I'm here on a lead ping. How are you?
29:21
I certainly am very excited to see what this lead.
29:25
Takes me all, you know, I am what fun to be here.
29:30
Well, fun to be here, I raise my glass, take a sip.
29:36
What I know that I've seen April and animus on channel 54 before,
29:42
but for the audience's sake, what do they look like?
29:45
April anonymous. Dresses an Asian Pop Style, long
29:50
straight blond hair, but you're not sure it normally is blonde.
29:55
It's chem hair. It's chem hair and it's almost
30:00
shimmering gold. It's not really blond when you
30:04
look at it closely shimmers, as if it is actually made out of
30:09
gold. And if you were to look closely
30:11
there left eye looks really actively normal.
30:15
Very strange, like Strangely normal is what I mean it's a
30:20
sunflower I which is blue with a little bit of yellow in the
30:24
middle but their right eye is cybernetic and is actually the
30:29
most Vivid Sapphire you've ever seen.
30:32
April is about five foot four inches tall wishes that they
30:38
were 52 or 56. So strange that I would note
30:42
this about you can really tell as theirs Adding next to the bar
30:48
exactly how tall they are. There's one of those sticks next
30:52
to the door when you walk in in cases, like the convenience
30:55
store, let's just like a fucking giant yard stick.
30:58
It was just like how it like the thick like when you go to the
31:00
store. So, they know if you're a
31:02
shoplifter, they can describe you to the 1.
31:04
April walked in, you know, they stood there for a moment looking
31:07
around and you know, so for a very long moment, they were
31:10
there. You could see everybody clocked
31:11
exactly how tall you are exactly five.
31:14
I'm told that's how we know how tall Max's as well.
31:17
It's the same reason. That's true.
31:18
That's true. Mac.
31:20
I love it's actually my favorite thing about whenever somebody
31:23
enters the bar for the first time now it is a secret
31:26
underground bar. So the fact that so many people
31:28
come in is astonishing to me, but every time a new person
31:33
comes into the bar, they stopped right at the door.
31:36
And it's kind of like this game. We play where we place bets on
31:39
how tall the next person who comes into the bar is going to
31:43
be, then they'll hand you a dollar.
31:52
So April April, like I said, has the gold hair and has this like
32:00
light purple skin but other than that no other like no no
32:05
cybernetic arm. So no cybernetic legs.
32:08
It seems to be all cosmetic apart from apart from the one
32:13
eye which you know could be useful its own way.
32:17
Well, there are media, so I know exactly why it's useful.
32:23
April Anonymous is not an anonymous media.
32:25
Everyone knows there are media. Exactly exactly.
32:30
They are a media and they also have changed almost every aspect
32:35
of their more obvious appearance for fashion.
32:41
Only of course, of course, of course, Asia, Asian Pop Style.
32:46
So lots of Bright distracting colors and such a friendly,
32:51
countenance, always a smile then, you know, you're not sure
32:56
how good of an actor. This person could be does not
32:59
smile really reached the inside of their eyes, guess we'll find
33:03
out, I guess so. Thank you for the scotch.
33:07
You're welcome. Why are you here?
33:09
April, hmm. Received an interesting lead
33:14
about a doctor confidential memo A product biotechnical.
33:24
That's my theory. Hence, why?
33:26
I'm here? Okay.
33:28
Well, you're coming here and you've got some stupid
33:32
biotechnical, there's any really one person you want to speak to?
33:35
Oh yes, I have a theory who you might be talking about.
33:40
Yeah, I mean the person with a biotechnical jacket of, there's
33:43
massive giveaway, but we could continue playing the new our
33:46
thing if you want. It's up to you.
33:47
I mean, I would have never say no to a little more Noir.
33:50
Or on my land and clears their throat.
33:55
Okay, I guess if you spend some time here you might discover
33:59
something and they put a cigarette out from the bar try
34:02
and light it but it's actually made of sugar, they turn around,
34:05
just eat it. April uses, the wrong hand,
34:09
swirl the scotch around clinking, the ice cubes little
34:13
too loudly in the glass. This thing say wow I do intend
34:19
to spend some time here. I hope I find what I'm looking
34:23
for and seen April that was in Arizona.
34:28
It's really none can do so much with the river there.
34:32
Oh yesterday I was over there. Yes, get just I pick up my
34:35
scotch and II do like a little little cheers.
34:39
Not I am I reach forward to clink the, the sugar cigarette
34:43
and they click back. Yes, yes.
34:45
Take a certain solute and walk over.
34:53
That was quite the show. You put on April, I have a lot
34:57
of fun. Max, is there anything else that
35:02
we needed? I think we've spoken plenty.
35:07
Wonderful. You are very strong.
35:12
Yes there's that. Yeah that's true.
35:15
Linda wasn't that bad? Yeah, there's a bet.
35:19
Oh yes. I know you're 54.
35:22
Exactly. I don't know.
35:23

35:27

35:57

36:02
version, but the second glass be emptied Second glass back onto
36:06

36:09
sip was there. Some some reason I use though,
36:14

37:14
What a lovely atmosphere you have here?
37:16
Yes, it's a problem. Yes, what do you need?
37:22
I'm here following up on a lead. Thought you all might know some
37:25
things about this memo I received I could relapse feeling
37:30
you've seen? You've heard?
37:31
No, no that's enough. I don't know I think I Might
37:35
have got memos that we lost a see that sounds like that,
37:37
doesn't it? Oh wait you lost a memo.
37:40
You lost think you can't hear anything.
37:42
Oh good fine. I thought I thought I was coming
37:47
to people who knew about as much as I did.
37:50
Well here is the memo. I hear that you have ties with a
37:55
bio, Technica working with these sorts of things and I'm
37:58
investigating a story thought. I could get some information
38:01
from you but looks like I'm the one with the information for
38:03
now. I've seen the memo.
38:06
I know. I know what you have.
38:08
Oh, that's wonderful. I thought I'm so sorry.
38:11
I thought you lost it. Well, if you'd like to look at
38:13
again, add it again. Here it is.
38:16
Just so you're aware. Yes, there is no lead here at
38:23
they all say. Also detective.
38:25
I don't want you getting any smart ideas.
38:27
Yeah, you can hear. Look, I passed it.
38:30
Look no trafficking see. There you go.
38:34
I know Max Superior. He would never do anything
38:37
inappropriate here. I just flies over the notes
38:40
really quickly. Not not to be presumptuous, but
38:45
I own it just I've just noticed something.
38:48
This is a mr. Sit Smith project, he wanted to
38:51
deal with him mr. Smith these to a really
38:55
competent could, could we deal with mr.
38:58
Smith with them. Well, I'm going to Roll human
39:05
perception on both of them just to make sure that they're like
39:08
to see whether or not. I feel like they're trustworthy.
39:12
This one is for April Anonymous and this one is for detective
39:17
Max, they seem trustworthy. Also you know that you still
39:22
have Max by the hook of to the price of 10,000.
39:25
Eddie's you can get them to work that off and as a Core Power,
39:29
having a media that high up in the media chain would be very
39:32
useful. You know Max.
39:37
Yeah, if I may call you that, unless you prefer to be called
39:40
detective, it's up to you to free to call me Max.
39:45
Okay, great. Remember how I was talking about
39:48
working off your debt? Yes.
39:51
And I think I can see where this is going.
39:55
Great. Yes, I have a problem that needs
39:57
to be solved. April this mr.
39:59
Smith yesi is our problem. And inside, I think that I can
40:09
point you in a better direction for a lead.
40:12
Hmm take the focus away back from bio Technica and angle you
40:17
more towards arisaka because that's who you should really be
40:20
going after. Wow.
40:22
I do like to be pointed at the right direction.
40:25
Yes. So if you would like to come
40:28
with me, we can work this out together.
40:32
How could I say, no, I'll take that.
40:34
As a yes I think that's a yes. So I'm filling them in about the
40:39
double triple agent thing that he how you Susan Moore for Bio
40:43
Technica leaking information to arisaka.
40:46
Arisaka is using our are very good, and very serious and not
40:54
at all, harmful drug testing for not.
40:59
So, wholesome reasons, if that if I recycle gets hold of body
41:04
fuel grow, that would be bad. Hmm, it would be far about.
41:10
So we need to get rid of the mole as soon as possible.
41:15
And you believe this mall is mr. Smith, I know it is mr.
41:19
Smith. Hmm.
41:21
Quite fascinating. All right.
41:24
I probably should get some shifts rescheduled at work.
41:30
I love the texture is just like on his agent thing, like caught
41:35
calling in sick to work. I'm sick for I've located, the
41:45
grow lab. I know where it is in the city.
41:49
That's helpful. I love it.
41:52
How prepared you all seem so exciting?
41:57
Oh, having just a Stills store upstairs again, but joy loves
42:02
dogs. But this is what having an
42:04
assistant assistant does its. I can focus on this stuff and
42:10
Wendell focuses on little things.
42:11
It's fantastic. Like I've only lost a leg.
42:16
Huh. Wonderful.
42:18
Jeb lost. I like to, but he got to regrow
42:21
his leg. I have to live with this Melvin
42:23
forever. Do you not like your leg?
42:26
And I like my leg. That just came out wrong.
42:27
You know how my bit weird. It's okay.
42:29
Okay, I like it. Sorry, I'm also have a really
42:31
hard time, like, reading your tone.
42:33
Was that like a / genuine? I was like, a look, that a /
42:37
light-hearted. I was trying to be light hearted
42:39
funny. Okay, wonderful.
42:40
All right. Yes.
42:42
Absolutely. My little cowboy and I pat on
42:44
the shoulder. That I chose to have this, you
42:48
know, some people do have legs, some people choose to have it
42:51
this trick that the two spot that's everything if we talking
42:57
about this would you like a new Flash leg?
43:00
Know that sounds disgusting. Great.
43:03
Well if you've located the Grohl up We should head there first
43:09
that's most likely where he's headed to quartering.
43:13
We better get it done by tonight because then that the shows
43:18
tonight the shadow, I think. So the the biotechnical show, I
43:26
always loved how well you can come with us.
43:29
Oh, that would be wonderful. Thank you again.
43:31

44:48
What are you doing? Just get in the van.
44:51
Thomas is your supervisor right April.
44:53
His kind of scary. I was not expect like so jovial
44:56
but also incredibly intimidating.
45:00
Wink. I'm not used to getting the
45:01
doors open for me. Either way.
45:03
I just want to make sure that B has nothing to do with this.
45:07
No I'm just a really big fan of those old movies.
45:12
Not my choice. Well I couldn't get it any
45:15
deeper in there. Yes I concur.
45:17
