S2E93 - Not an Ambush · No Latency

• 0:02
  Last time on no latency. Damn.
• 0:05
  Is it usually this dark? Is it usually this bumping?
• 0:08
  Event happening at the Bubble Cafe.
• 0:10
  Oh, you want to dance? Gently sway along.
• 0:12
  Dwarf, Dwarf. Dwarf.
• 0:14
  Yeah, what? Happened.
• 0:14
  I think I got God. Jeb's everything OK?
• 0:16
  Don't got my keys no more. Well, should we see Evan White's
• 0:18
  still outside? Oh God, Oh no, no, no.
• 0:21
  Jesus Christ. No.
• 0:23
  Oh dear Lord, no. What it sounds, Jeb, you got
• 0:26
  honeypotting. There is a maelstrom hideout.
• 0:28
  Jeb, I didn't know you were such an abort.
• 0:30
  It won't. Like that, did she?
• 0:31
  She looked regular. Then why would I bring an?
• 0:34
  Ammo case inside. So I don't have any guns.
• 0:36
  And we should probably get there before the morning or they're
• 0:38
  going to scrap Vanna White. No, it's OK, Jed all.
• 0:42
  Right, it's time to move out then.
• 0:44
  So we all have weapons except for Retro who doesn't carry a
• 0:47
  sidearm. I'm not going to need it.
• 1:00
  All right, finally get done with the fucking queue, all right
• 1:08
  there. Looks like it's pinging out
• 1:14
  about half a mile away. Great, that means we can walk,
• 1:19
  doesn't it? Yeah.
• 1:21
  Is this in the combat zone? Listen.
• 1:28
  I I'm going to be honest with you, I don't give a fuck where
• 1:30
  it is or who it's got to be. We got to go and we got to go
• 1:32
  right now. Jeff, you don't.
• 1:35
  It's look, everyone makes mistakes.
• 1:36
  You don't have to be so guilty. It's all right.
• 1:39
  No, y'all, y'all understand? I, I mean they're, they're going
• 1:42
  to be, they're going to be chopping, chopping her up like
• 1:44
  like like she's a hunk of meat or something.
• 1:47
  We got to go. We got to go now.
• 1:50
  We won't let that happen, don't worry.
• 1:54
  Tell me again. Vanna White is going to be OK.
• 1:59
  You swear, you promise because it feels it feels kind of like
• 2:02
  like we don't got much time and and and she she going to get
• 2:05
  hurt. Don't worry, Jeb, we are going
• 2:07
  to figure this out. Don't worry.
• 2:09
  Hold me. She passes Jeb on the head very
• 2:15
  delicately. Do you want an encouraging high
• 2:18
  5? What do?
• 2:21
  You want an encouraging high 5, Jeb?
• 2:23
  Look, look, look, hand in the air.
• 2:25
  Oh, I know what to do with that. Kachow.
• 2:29
  Hey, Jeb, I'm just looking at crime statistics right now from
• 2:32
  being inside, you know, with my mole inside of the NCPD.
• 2:37
  Looks like carjackings are up to about 60% more this year than
• 2:42
  they were last year. So, you know, one, it's not your
• 2:45
  fault. Looks like it's becoming a, a
• 2:47
  major thing. Two, if that's the case, there's
• 2:49
  probably more vehicles for them to chop right off the bat than
• 2:52
  just right, you know, slice and Vana, you know, So, you know, we
• 2:58
  got a little bit of time. Is is it true?
• 3:03
  Well, traditionally it's they have to do it by sun up.
• 3:06
  So we've got time. It's late, but it's not early.
• 3:11
  Do you know what I mean? Well, I I guess that's kind of
• 3:16
  reassuring, yeah. Anyway, can someone look at this
• 3:21
  and see if we are if this is within combat zone rules because
• 3:26
  I need to know about how how much damage I can cause to them
• 3:29
  first. Show me this map.
• 3:32
  I'll give it to Iona. OK, so if that that's the it's
• 3:37
  right outside the combat zone, it should be fine.
• 3:40
  Yeah, just on the border, right? Yeah, it's totally safe there.
• 3:46
  If it belongs to some. Corporate zones on the other
• 3:48
  side of the city, right? So true.
• 3:52
  OK, let me think here. Well, you know what?
• 3:57
  The dwarf I think has given me a really good idea.
• 4:01
  Could be a little bit out there, but could be also really, really
• 4:07
  fun and very, very painful for people, OK.
• 4:12
  People or. Not or them.
• 4:16
  Them. Them, of course them.
• 4:18
  What's what's the the idea? Well, let's hear.
• 4:23
  Main part of it is that I'm going to need to have ask Iona.
• 4:27
  Iona, because you have connections within your company,
• 4:30
  are you able to get say some Acer chlorine or maybe a few bit
• 4:39
  of bacteria for me? Vendo, could you call one of our
• 4:45
  scientists to see if they have the excess chemicals needed?
• 4:49
  I mean, we could get it delivered by drone, but we'd
• 4:51
  probably have to call fresh. Fresh is inside actually, so we
• 4:55
  wouldn't have to call fresh. Fresh comes out the door and
• 4:59
  stands by the front door and smokes a cigarette.
• 5:01
  Don't say me, I'm so shiny. Shiny and I'm drunk.
• 5:06
  Drunk and shiny cigarettes. Yeah, I'm.
• 5:12
  Just letting Fresh have his moment, because who?
• 5:16
  Who looked at his unbridled joy? And we'll have to let it exist
• 5:22
  in this world. Because if, if, if this doesn't
• 5:25
  exist, what do we have to live for?
• 5:30
  I wish I was happy like him, but I'm just stressed out and sad.
• 5:35
  Hey, Jeff. Where's the van?
• 5:38
  Oh. Boy, did I.
• 5:41
  Say something wrong? Yeah.
• 5:44
  Collapses to the ground and starts like flailing his arms
• 5:47
  and legs. Takes.
• 5:51
  His cowboy hat and puts it from the top of his head onto his
• 5:54
  face. Don't look at me.
• 5:58
  Jeff, if we want to get this, if we want to get Vanna White back,
• 6:01
  you're going to need to pull, pull yourself together.
• 6:02
  The more you sit down and whine and complain, the better chance
• 6:05
  that they're going to chop shop it.
• 6:06
  So if you don't pull yourself together, it's going to start
• 6:08
  following more on you. All right, no matter.
• 6:10
  OK, retro, where are you going with this idea with the bacteria
• 6:14
  and stuff all? Right, fresh pee.
• 6:16
  Can you give me some dinoflagellate and some azo Azo
• 6:19
  monoformer? That's blue-green algae.
• 6:23
  Yeah, sure. I mean, you can either.
• 6:26
  I mean, I can, I can. I can order some.
• 6:28
  I'm drunk so I can order some. Why not?
• 6:30
  When he gets out his tire and starts stepping weight.
• 6:34
  Roll into face all. Right.
• 6:37
  While they're doing that, Phoebe, can you go inside,
• 6:40
  please? Go ahead and get me a blender
• 6:44
  that they're you're not going to get back sugar and ammonia if
• 6:50
  they have any. OK, I will retrieve those
• 6:55
  things. Jeb, check yourself.
• 6:57
  Do you have any gas grenades? Any type at all.
• 7:01
  No, no, let me, let me see. I'm sick.
• 7:06
  And Jeb opens his pack, not getting up.
• 7:09
  I have. I have a smoke grenade.
• 7:11
  Hold on. Yeah, I got one of them.
• 7:14
  Just one. Anything.
• 7:15
  Anything else? I I got I got 2 smart grenades.
• 7:20
  Now those have explosives in them.
• 7:21
  No, I'm useless. Ain't that no.
• 7:25
  Jeb, Jeb, can you send Sloan to the point that we pinged at and
• 7:31
  see if they can find a fire suppression system, hopefully
• 7:35
  the water tank? Who I would slow and even visit
• 7:38
  to me. I'm I'm useless.
• 7:40
  I got all right. Pull yours up together.
• 7:42
  Look, look, look, Look at me in the eye.
• 7:45
  All right? You're a cowboy.
• 7:47
  You are strong. I'm cable.
• 7:49
  You are smart. And strong and you are loved.
• 7:55
  You mean that last one? Yes, I do.
• 7:59
  You just need to know that no one is mad at you.
• 8:02
  We just have to get this done. You promise?
• 8:05
  Because I really messed up but. Everyone, we promise we're not
• 8:09
  mad. I'm mad.
• 8:11
  I give you a high 5, remember? Felt good.
• 8:14
  That's true. You did that.
• 8:15
  Felt real good. And inside, Vivi is standing in
• 8:18
  front of Reeves, who's standing outside the kitchen.
• 8:21
  Yeah, what is up? Hey Reeves, do you think I could
• 8:25
  grab a couple of things from the kitchen to use?
• 8:29
  Sure. Maybe to have permanently for
• 8:33
  some time if that's OK. I mean, yeah, can and Alice can
• 8:41
  maybe like steal some shit. Yeah, sure.
• 8:43
  I. Mean I'll just take it out your
• 8:45
  cart. Is that good?
• 8:45
  Yes, that's fine. Cool.
• 8:48
  Yeah. So you you might not get your
• 8:50
  share for a bit, but that that's fine.
• 8:51
  That's fine. Appreciate it.
• 8:54
  No worries. Yeah, like what do you want?
• 8:57
  I need a blender. OK.
• 9:00
  Like just a big bag of sugar if you have it.
• 9:03
  Oh yeah, no, totally. I use one of those.
• 9:05
  For for a freshest drink. And some ammonia if you have it,
• 9:11
  like if I don't know if you have like a glass cleaner or
• 9:13
  something like that, just just just some ammonia.
• 9:16
  Oh yeah, yeah, like the stuff. We use to.
• 9:17
  Clean the tumblers. Yes, exactly.
• 9:20
  Yeah. No, totally.
• 9:21
  I mean, yeah, yes, You know what I mean.
• 9:24
  I'll be right back. Thank you.
• 9:26
  He. Pops his head out of the little
• 9:28
  hole in the wall instead of coming out.
• 9:29
  Here we go. Do you have a bag for these by
• 9:31
  chance? Kind of a lot.
• 9:33
  Oh, I'm stuck between a wall and another place.
• 9:36
  So. And do you have a bag?
• 9:38
  Yeah. No, he could.
• 9:39
  You could have just gone through the.
• 9:40
  Door. Yeah, but it wouldn't be as
• 9:41
  cool. And you get given a blender, bag
• 9:47
  of sugar and a squeezy bottle of ammonia glass solution.
• 9:51
  And now you won't get a payout from the Bubble Cafe for a
• 9:54
  little bit. That's.
• 9:55
  Fine, I walk outside with the stuff jingling in a bag.
• 9:59
  Well, retro all. Right, baby, do you remember?
• 10:04
  It's better work because it's coming out of my paycheck at the
• 10:08
  bubble cafe. If it doesn't, if it doesn't
• 10:11
  work, then then you can insult me later.
• 10:14
  Do you remember your time and being an intern, being able to
• 10:18
  remove solutions, you know, from other liquids, you know blood
• 10:24
  from plasma? Remember that and having to use
• 10:26
  that particular? I can't think of the name of the
• 10:28
  machine. Yes.
• 10:30
  Like a centrifuge? Yeah.
• 10:32
  So I'd like to try to re re rig the blender, dulling the blades
• 10:38
  so that way they're not in a chopping motion anymore.
• 10:41
  Kind of make it as a centrifuge. Cool.
• 10:43
  Jerry rigged it. Oh, I I like where you're going
• 10:46
  with this. That's really clever.
• 10:48
  I was kind of smart like you. I wrote a 13.
• 10:53
  I'm smart like Chad. We all have our.
• 10:55
  Strengths. Wait, no, that's really low.
• 10:59
  Oh. Yeah.
• 11:02
  Retro. You rolled a crip fail.
• 11:05
  You do dull the blades, but you've also cut the very little
• 11:08
  bit of flesh that you have and you lose.
• 11:11
  I'm going to use my new D63 HP. It's all right, the rage.
• 11:19
  The rage dulls the pain. Bibi, go ahead.
• 11:22
  I need you to start separating the ammonia.
• 11:26
  The more pure we can get the ammonia, the better.
• 11:28
  Please. OK, start pouring it in.
• 11:32
  I don't know. I don't know when you're going
• 11:33
  to be able to tell me when we can get those particular algaes,
• 11:36
  but I need to get them ASAP. And also, is there any way we
• 11:39
  can get ourselves some rain gear?
• 11:41
  Rain. I mean, you've got a punch,
• 11:43
  Hell. I do, yes.
• 11:44
  Does anybody else? VV roll perception.
• 11:48
  I got. Yeah.
• 11:52
  Jeb, I know you're I know you're going through a hard time.
• 11:55
  I'm going to go in and I'm going to give a Big Bear hug to Jeb
• 11:58
  using more strength and I feel like I should be using because I
• 12:01
  still haven't really gotten used to my graft muscles yet.
• 12:05
  I was going to whisper in your Jeff, I need you to pull
• 12:07
  yourself together. If you really do not get
• 12:09
  together, we're not going to be able to get Vanna White back in
• 12:11
  one piece. All right, so I need you to do
• 12:12
  me this favor. You're the only one who can do
• 12:14
  this right now. I need you to get Sloan to find
• 12:16
  that area and figure out where the fire suppression system is.
• 12:20
  If it's going to be in an auto shop, there's going to be some
• 12:22
  kind of sprinkler system in case there's a fire.
• 12:24
  All right so Sloan needs to go and find out what that is.
• 12:27
  Then I need you to figure out once we there's concussion to
• 12:30
  put it in there and you're the stealthiest of us, all right?
• 12:32
  So you are probably one part of the most important part of this
• 12:35
  whole goddamn thing to get set off.
• 12:37
  You got me. Yeah, but and if you don't?
• 12:39
  Stop crying. You're not.
• 12:40
  Going to be a lot less stealthy if I'm crying.
• 12:44
  So you need to stop crying. Send to be stealthy.
• 12:47
  All right? OK, You can cry once you're a
• 12:51
  fan of white. I'll let you cry as hard as you
• 12:53
  want once we get it. Well, perception.
• 12:57
  Well, just save all those feelings.
• 13:01
  In the vending machine you see it has Bubble Cafe branded
• 13:04
  ponchos and a Can of shine is on sale.
• 13:09
  Where's the? Where's the?
• 13:10
  Cake come back right right here. Oh lol.
• 13:16
  Lol S. Oh, oh wait, amazing.
• 13:21
  Is that shine? Oh, that's exactly what I
• 13:23
  needed. Oh.
• 13:25
  Yes, it's all the pain with alcohol.
• 13:27
  Oh. Wow, shit.
• 13:29
  By all, Yeah, yeah, there are two cans that they're 15 each,
• 13:32
  so 30%. OK, how much are the Padres?
• 13:34
  They are 10 each. OK, so that's the 60 altogether?
• 13:39
  Do I not get one? Oh, is there only three?
• 13:41
  There's no more. No, no, you said can, can.
• 13:43
  Would it be 70 if you bought me one?
• 13:45
  Oh, I thought it only three. Yeah, I'm 70.
• 13:50
  Yeah, everybody gets 1. Yay.
• 13:51
  Wait, it's so high, right? You're drunk.
• 13:54
  You're not coming with us. Oh, OK.
• 13:57
  I rounded the thing. It'll be here.
• 14:00
  They only charged us 540 eddies. Iona.
• 14:04
  Oh. Geez.
• 14:04
  All right. Thank you.
• 14:06
  I rolled badly, so it costs money.
• 14:09
  Everything at Night City is just getting more and more expensive.
• 14:11
  I gotta say it's. Almost like it's reactive to how
• 14:13
  much money you earned. Weird.
• 14:16
  It's inflation. While Fresh is standing there
• 14:20
  sipping on another drink, a drone falls down and it delivers
• 14:25
  2 tanks and they are a liter each of concentrate.
• 14:30
  Here you are retro. I have New York Algies.
• 14:35
  Cool. I pour an eighth of each of them
• 14:38
  out into the street. Cool.
• 14:40
  Why are you doing that? You owe me $540 minus the 20
• 14:45
  that you just spent on Glendale than I.
• 14:47
  I want you to think about this, Iona.
• 14:49
  I'm going to need to mix stuff in there.
• 14:50
  If it's already full, there's nothing.
• 14:52
  There's nowhere for it to go. So you should have asked for a a
• 14:56
  less amount. Believe me, this is going to be
• 14:59
  enough. I'll tell you what, I will give
• 15:01
  you the recipe for this afterwards, and you can give it
• 15:03
  to your bosses for a fucking bioweapon.
• 15:05
  How about that? All right, little new wow.
• 15:12
  BB How are we doing with the ammonia?
• 15:15
  It looks like it's blending. Roll a medical check.
• 15:22
  To. See if you've done this.
• 15:23
  Well, the perception check was to check the vending machine.
• 15:26
  You saw nothing, Jeb did. OK, where is my?
• 15:33
  Yeah. You separate it and it, you know
• 15:35
  those toys that have oil in them and you can move the things
• 15:38
  around by pushing the little puffers.
• 15:40
  Yes. Yes.
• 15:43
  Very. Specific memory.
• 15:46
  Oh yeah, yeah, there's an. Old kid games are filled with
• 15:49
  water. There's often oil in those.
• 15:50
  And now because of the iron filings that came off the blade
• 15:55
  that retro broke, there is a layer of iron filings at the
• 15:59
  bottom which has kind of absorbed a bit of the ammonia,
• 16:01
  which will give a -, 1 to the result of this device.
• 16:05
  But you have managed to separate the chemicals and not cause any
• 16:09
  other errors. So there'll be a little bit of
• 16:11
  iron in this ship. I hold it up to retro, looks
• 16:15
  like it's separated all. Right, I pour out the water and
• 16:20
  just leaving the ammonia. Who has to go pee?
• 16:25
  This isn't a joke. You like to pee?
• 16:28
  I I should probably pee, maybe like take a look in the mirror
• 16:31
  for a bit and take, you know, figure out what my whole.
• 16:34
  Deal is sipping his 7th drink. Those very good blink blinking
• 16:42
  sounds. OK.
• 16:46
  Do we have any more? Do we have?
• 16:47
  Any more? Do you need some fresh pee from
• 16:50
  fresh pee? I'm drunk.
• 16:52
  Yes, yes, actually what fresh pee finish your finish your
• 16:57
  drink. Finish all of it now down it
• 16:59
  like now drink it. This has got a.
• 17:01
  Lot of drugs in it. I'm like.
• 17:02
  Faint Jug, jug, jug. Oh, not often I make a deep
• 17:11
  noise. Holy shit.
• 17:13
  I take. The cup from fresh pee, I wipe
• 17:16
  it out as as clean as I can I. Mean I I would like some
• 17:20
  privacy. Thank you.
• 17:22
  I pour a little bit of the solution inside there just so
• 17:25
  then that way I can try to get any other residuals off and then
• 17:30
  it should just have ammonia and with whatever you have leftover
• 17:33
  with in there. All right, fill that up.
• 17:36
  Should. I smell it afterwards.
• 17:38
  No. OK.
• 17:40
  Let's not be weird about this, I.
• 17:42
  Mean Is it dangerous to smell property?
• 17:47
  Buggers off to the porta potty. He'll be back in a minute.
• 17:51
  All right, who who out of The Who out of us has the best
• 17:55
  control in pouring? I feel like it's BB because I.
• 17:59
  Was going to say I have a pretty good hand.
• 18:03
  You know, I don't do surgery that much, but I think I can do
• 18:07
  it. I mean, I imagine pouring is
• 18:10
  probably, you know, directly associated with the Dexterity
• 18:16
  stat, in which case I'm all right.
• 18:21
  It's a good point. All right, Job, I'm going to
• 18:24
  give you the bag of sugar. I want you to pour with me on
• 18:27
  this, OK? You're going to pour to the
• 18:30
  count of five and stop, OK, With the bag this size, which is
• 18:36
  about a pound, that should be roughly about six of the 64
• 18:42
  ounces that are in there ready. Yeah, I think I can do a roll
• 18:49
  for it. Here we go.
• 18:51
  I mean, this only makes sense that it's a stale throw.
• 18:53
  Oh. Sure, I believe it.
• 18:58
  Oh. You do shit today you rolled a
• 19:02
  crit. Fail and you only managed to
• 19:05
  pour four of the six units that you need to put in there and
• 19:10
  pulling the rest all over the ground.
• 19:12
  What do they want, right? Oh, Jesus failed.
• 19:15
  OK, all right, all right. Hi retro piss.
• 19:22
  I also pissed on my shoes. I need new shoes.
• 19:24
  Cool. Hold that for a second.
• 19:26
  I'm going to take the ammonia that we already had.
• 19:29
  I'm going to pour that into the rest of that tank.
• 19:32
  For the first one, we're going to go to the second tank.
• 19:35
  Jeb, try again. Please don't spill any.
• 19:39
  This will be the rest of what we need to have for this, because
• 19:41
  this will be the dinoflagellate and it needs more sugar.
• 19:44
  Give me that. Give me your pee here.
• 19:45
  You go. It's hot, sorry.
• 19:47
  It's hot, sorry. It is unusually it is unusually
• 19:51
  warm. I did a lot of dancing.
• 19:55
  I hear that. Look.
• 19:55
  I'm sweating. Nice job, please pour that in so
• 20:00
  I don't have to keep holding this extremely hot cup of piss.
• 20:03
  Hey Spoon, Spoon, you wrote a crit success.
• 20:08
  Give me give me a go right here. Good shit.
• 20:11
  OK, OK. Do this for VANA.
• 20:14
  It was for VANA. Why?
• 20:16
  You got this. 12345. And done.
• 20:23
  Oh shoot, I did it. Good work job and I'm going to
• 20:26
  pour the rest of this piss, which is ammonia, into the tank.
• 20:32
  Well, I can't imagine. I mean, piss is more than just
• 20:35
  ammonia. Right, it's the closest.
• 20:37
  Thing about all the drugs that have been done.
• 20:40
  Oh yeah, that's awesome. Weird shit.
• 20:42
  Well, I don't know what's going to happen, but we'll see what
• 20:44
  ends up happening because no one else apparently needed to take a
• 20:46
  piss. No one else drank as many
• 20:49
  liquids as. I'm not letting you.
• 20:51
  I'm also not letting you have my pee.
• 20:53
  Thank you though. That's.
• 20:54
  Valid. That feels like a very Iona to
• 20:56
  me. I will cap them off, grabbing
• 20:59
  both, both in, one in each arm and just shake back in a
• 21:03
  rhythmic motion. OK.
• 21:06
  I'll start heading over there as we go there does does anybody
• 21:12
  have any kind of like paint? I know I got, I got duct tape on
• 21:16
  me. I always got duct tape.
• 21:17
  Anybody else have any kind of like crafty stuff?
• 21:21
  So as you're walking through the city, you're heading South
• 21:23
  towards the combat zone. Vendel comes up beside you after
• 21:27
  you say that. Retro Don't you have two paint
• 21:30
  cans and a paint gun? Yeah, that was Invana White,
• 21:33
  though. Oh.
• 21:34
  Shit. Oh, maybe we can find some on
• 21:37
  the way. Maybe.
• 21:38
  Could. Probably stop it I'm.
• 21:41
  I'm I'm pretty crafty. How crafty am I, Iona?
• 21:44
  I would say you're very crafty. Oh.
• 21:47
  Well, if Iona says I'm very crafty, then I'm probably very
• 21:49
  crafty. OK, Wendell, you are.
• 21:53
  It's been important to do this next piece.
• 21:55
  Yay, I like being important. Please particular ponchos I need
• 22:01
  you to take. Here's here's my 2 rolls of duct
• 22:03
  tape that I keep on me at all times.
• 22:05
  And here's a Sharpie, because I also have that on me at all
• 22:08
  times. Attracts.
• 22:10
  I need you to make these look as gang like but as apocalyptic as
• 22:16
  possible. Guys, I think Retro has a plan.
• 22:20
  Where are you going with this? Retro's cooking.
• 22:25
  We all asked the same question, but in different ways.
• 22:30
  What the hell are you thinking? And Bendel starts to be crafty.
• 22:38
  Iona, can you roll for that please?
• 22:41
  Sure can. Are you asking what my plan is?
• 22:46
  I mean. Yeah.
• 22:50
  Pretty curious. Well, let's let Iona go 1st and.
• 22:55
  Then I'm I'm going to roll concentration for this.
• 22:58
  Sounds good. Vendel is looking at the
• 23:01
  graffiti on the street and doing their best to mimic.
• 23:05
  Nice, I like that. Thirteen.
• 23:08
  Yes, it is a mediocre job, but as long as nobody looks at it
• 23:12
  too carefully, nobody will notice.
• 23:15
  That is above mid. Above mid.
• 23:18
  Woo. That's all we can ever ask.
• 23:23
  It is. It is literally an everyday task
• 23:25
  to make something look dirty and St. ish and 13 is an everyday
• 23:30
  task according to my list. So I'll tell you exactly what
• 23:34
  the plan is with blue algae and dinoflagellate.
• 23:38
  They are both the main cause of something called red tide.
• 23:44
  I'm sure you all know of Red Tide.
• 23:45
  I've heard of it. But maybe, maybe explain it for
• 23:50
  Jeb. Yeah, that's right.
• 23:52
  Yes, for Jeb. Yes.
• 23:54
  Wait, because Jeb's the only one who doesn't know what that is.
• 23:57
  Isn't that right, guys? Yes.
• 23:59
  OK for Jeb, so red tide is part of a harmful algae balloon,
• 24:08
  which usually happens when you introduce quite a few
• 24:11
  interesting chemicals to the next, usually of pollutants such
• 24:14
  that of sugar, ammonia, nitrous, such like that.
• 24:20
  We know that they've taken the vehicle probably to a chop shop.
• 24:23
  That chop shop is going to need to have a water system in case
• 24:27
  there's a fire, because they're going to they're going to.
• 24:29
  They're going to need to use a shop that already has tools.
• 24:32
  Set it up in there, distract them, get them all in one place
• 24:35
  so that way that they can all get wet.
• 24:37
  Set it off within minutes. The bacteria algae will cause
• 24:43
  severe cytotoxin. Sodium.
• 24:48
  What was it back in school? Sodium channel blocking to them
• 24:52
  causing their nervous systems to immediately shut down.
• 24:56
  Interrupts possibly going within spasms.
• 24:59
  Same thing. BB might know if they've ever
• 25:01
  had to deal with anybody that's have 8 fungal fish or bad
• 25:04
  oysters. It's happened a couple times.
• 25:06
  It's really fucked, Retro. Yeah, if we were the ponchos, we
• 25:09
  should be OK. So I've, I understood everything
• 25:14
  you just said, but if, you know, I were to explain that, Sloan,
• 25:19
  what, what, what would you say? You get wet.
• 25:22
  The harmful bacteria I have in here causes your nervous system
• 25:24
  to shut down. You spasm.
• 25:26
  You spit your guts out. You die.
• 25:27
  So if you're wet, you die. Yeah, if you've ever seen that
• 25:31
  old, that old movie they had back in the day with that guy
• 25:36
  with a fireball for a head, Nicolas Cage, he did a movie
• 25:39
  with Scott guy where there was this little green marble that
• 25:44
  could cause everybody to to go into the same kind of effect.
• 25:50
  Rock. He's made an IO weapon.
• 25:54
  Is that where you came up with this idea?
• 25:56
  Because this is very oddly specific retro.
• 25:59
  How did you come up with this idea?
• 26:01
  I've had it for a while. That's messed up.
• 26:03
  Interesting. So just to be clear, don't get
• 26:07
  wet that's. What the ponchos are for?
• 26:09
  And you turn the corner as as Jeff says this, and you're
• 26:13
  facing down the street and in front of you, there's trash bags
• 26:16
  everywhere. There's crates on the side of
• 26:17
  the road. You've got to a really dirty
• 26:19
  part of town. And there, in the middle of the
• 26:21
  road, is a woman lying on the ground.
• 26:30
  Help. Help me help.
• 26:34
  Me roll up. This is I, I mom arm and I I put
• 26:37
  my arm out in front of everyone. Help me hold hold.
• 26:42
  Don't look oddly suspicious. Yeah folks, welcome to dungeons
• 26:56
  and randomness. Since 2012 myself and an amazing
• 26:59
  cast of 18 have been telling stories in our home brewed world
• 27:03
  of Theria. 4 different groups explore lost ruins, run for
• 27:07
  political office, Rage Against a mad king, set sail to long
• 27:11
  forgotten islands, and so much more.
• 27:14
  Every group has a different story and flavor, and every
• 27:17
  season or Ark has a new set of groups and stories, all building
• 27:21
  the history of our world with every single session.
• 27:25
  Literally hundreds of hours of stories are waiting for you as
• 27:28
  part of the Pickaxe network. Check out Dungeons and
• 27:31
  Randomness wherever you get your podcasts and we'll see you
• 27:34
  around the table. Oh.
• 27:42
  Gosh, I'm going to roll a human perception, but also a.
• 27:46
  Person in need, I must help them, no?
• 27:49
  Really. No.
• 27:50
  No. Hold on, where's human
• 27:58
  perception? 18 Iona, I'm going to roll
• 28:03
  something first. That's five.
• 28:07
  This stinks of lies of. Flies.
• 28:11
  Lies. Oh.
• 28:15
  I mean, the street does stink of flies, but that's not involved
• 28:20
  in this particular perception. You are SUS, Iona.
• 28:23
  You are SUS. Get up.
• 28:25
  Oh, but I can't. They.
• 28:27
  Rock hit me and beat. Me up.
• 28:29
  Oh, get up. I can't hear you.
• 28:33
  You're so far away. Won't you come help me?
• 28:36
  I draw my gun. Hey, Jeb, if you just put a
• 28:39
  bullet in them, that could just solve all their life problems
• 28:41
  right now. Wait.
• 28:43
  No, it certainly would. It would end any problems you
• 28:48
  had. See, we could do that for you.
• 28:50
  How about that? Yeah, so I've drawn, I've drawn
• 28:54
  my gun. They're about. 100 feet in front
• 28:57
  of you. Great.
• 28:58
  I'm going to slowly walk towards them, but also I'm going to roll
• 29:01
  another perception for the area to see if there's anybody hiding
• 29:06
  out in these trash bags. Mart. 17 you see a trash bag on
• 29:13
  your right? I'm pinging it right now.
• 29:15
  I see it. I see it.
• 29:16
  See it shuffle? I see.
• 29:19
  It Are we going over there? So I do the the thing with my
• 29:25
  gun where I I look at back at Jeb and then I motion towards
• 29:29
  that bag and I'm actually going to walk to the north towards the
• 29:34
  other trash bags. OK, so, so Jeb, I've pointed you
• 29:38
  towards the South trash bags. Oh, and just to be clear, you
• 29:41
  want me to go over there and check it out?
• 29:44
  There's someone over there. OK, no, that's fine.
• 29:47
  I'll go. I'll go take a look.
• 29:48
  No, it's fine. The the the the depressed man
• 29:52
  will go. I'll go near the trash.
• 29:58
  It's dirty. I've been fine.
• 29:59
  I'm I'm headed over so I'll take a look.
• 30:03
  Jab Raw Perception 21 There is a guy hiding behind the trash bag.
• 30:12
  Oh wow, no one ever saw that coming.
• 30:18
  Would you like me to go to one of the other trash?
• 30:21
  Is there another trash? Role perception.
• 30:23
  There's there's two more to the north and there's one more to
• 30:26
  the South visually, but for people I don't know. 22 yes,
• 30:34
  even that's very high. You see from where you are that
• 30:38
  there is a guy hiding pretty well to be honest, behind those
• 30:43
  trash cans just up here to the north of the street.
• 30:46
  I point in that direction and that way Iona.
• 30:51
  Oh oh good. Nothing in the trash bags guys
• 30:53
  help? I'm.
• 31:00
  Going to kick the trash bag do. It.
• 31:05
  Kick, kick. Kick rolling, brawling.
• 31:08
  Oh, no, it's more of like a, like a, you know, like like
• 31:11
  we're kicking tires, you know? I'm going to roll that is a
• 31:16
  four. Oh, I mean trash noise.
• 31:22
  All right, the jig is up. We know you're here.
• 31:27
  We can't. We never even.
• 31:28
  What do you do as you say that? Vivi also draws her weapon at
• 31:35
  the person in the street. We know there are others.
• 31:41
  And this big dude comes out. I guess you saw through our
• 31:45
  little trap. He was dumb enough to walk
• 31:48
  through the night of the city, man.
• 31:51
  And there's this bogged up dude holding an air pistol in his
• 31:54
  hand. Motherfucker, I swear we need to
• 31:58
  hire better acting students. This one's fucking bad.
• 32:01
  Hey man, I. Studied.
• 32:04
  I read over the script like at least twice.
• 32:07
  Fucking useless marker. What?
• 32:10
  Oh shit. Actually, that one.
• 32:13
  Started to. Make a move towards them.
• 32:15
  I'm going to pop a shot off Who? Who's making a move towards this
• 32:19
  acting student? One of the gangers who've come
• 32:23
  out of the north part of this ambush has walked into the
• 32:27
  middle of the street to shoot this person in the head.
• 32:31
  Oh well, how about not? Don't do that.
• 32:36
  Didn't do well on damage, but it's still pretty good.
• 32:38
  You rolled A-17. What are you doing with the
• 32:40
  shot? Are you trying to hurt them or
• 32:41
  stop them in their tracks? Stop them.
• 32:44
  OK. So you're shooting at them or
• 32:45
  like at their feet? At them if I if I hit a
• 32:49
  maelstrom that I'm not sad about it.
• 32:51
  OK, cool. And you are I.
• 32:55
  Think I'm pretty far away actually.
• 32:57
  For about 40 feet. So you do miss, but the bullet
• 33:01
  flies past this guy and he stops as he pulls his gun out.
• 33:05
  Hey, wait, wait. Hey.
• 33:09
  Don't copy me. Dick what?
• 33:12
  What is your plan here guys? Told me to kill the actor.
• 33:18
  All right, well. Do you?
• 33:20
  Always do exactly what you're told.
• 33:21
  Yeah, exactly that. Acting isn't a crime.
• 33:26
  They have to. Do what I say.
• 33:27
  Who are you? A bad boy?
• 33:31
  Oh, good. Good name.
• 33:35
  Yeah. You feel good about that.
• 33:36
  Does it? Does it make you feel proud of
• 33:38
  yourself? Yeah, it does.
• 33:41
  Yeah, it. Doesn't.
• 33:42
  And I identify as boy, so fuck, it's not very good.
• 33:47
  It doesn't matter, it's what I got.
• 33:50
  Actor, you better start running and get out of here before they
• 33:53
  take a shot on you. I'm.
• 33:55
  Going to run for it. Really.
• 33:56
  You just let me go. Yeah, just get out of here.
• 33:59
  Oh, shit. Or you'll become collateral.
• 34:01
  Oh. Shit 17 Yeah, yeah, they make it
• 34:03
  out, they get up, they're fine. You know, they weren't the best
• 34:09
  actor, but I still hope they get their credit for getting into
• 34:11
  the union. The the only thing you notice as
• 34:15
  they get up is as they were lying down, they looked really
• 34:18
  hurt. The physical part of their
• 34:19
  acting was really good, but now that they're up, they look like
• 34:21
  they're at full health and they run away.
• 34:24
  Well, just remember, well, you know, I, I found that whenever I
• 34:28
  have to get have to get into character, they're just taking a
• 34:30
  moment and thinking about, you know, what my desires or whether
• 34:35
  what my characters desires. See, I was a kid.
• 34:38
  Sometimes I can't differentiate between myself and my character.
• 34:42
  That's just, I guess that's just how good of an actor I am
• 34:44
  sometimes anyway. Well, they're gone now.
• 34:49
  Yeah, let's. I mean, traps.
• 34:51
  Traps been sprung. Nobody got hurt.
• 34:53
  Everybody's fine. We can just keep going, right?
• 34:55
  We're fine. Hey man, you're not getting
• 34:58
  through without at least a toll. A toll of what?
• 35:03
  Look, man, we've been, we've been trying to Merc this spot
• 35:07
  for a while. And just to be real with you,
• 35:10
  there are different groups of maelstrom fighting with each
• 35:12
  other and we just tried to Merc a bunch of fools driving in a
• 35:16
  fucking VW bus and it drove right on by.
• 35:19
  They threw something in that pile over there.
• 35:21
  We don't want any trouble. You're obviously really good at
• 35:24
  what you do, I guess. I mean, if you want a toll,
• 35:28
  look, I feel bad for you. Hey, Jeff, can you do me a
• 35:33
  favor? Would you mind go and find what?
• 35:35
  That everything they threw over there in the pile was for me.
• 35:40
  I'm. Going to talk with bad boy here.
• 35:43
  Hey, Bad Boy. Look, I feel bad.
• 35:45
  I I understand. You know, you're having to deal
• 35:47
  with other maelstrom that. Hey, check it out.
• 35:50
  I'll. I'll let you in on something.
• 35:53
  I've got some homemade dwarf. Yeah.
• 35:59
  See what I'm carrying right now? Oh, you're showing in the
• 36:01
  canisters. All right, cool.
• 36:02
  Yeah, Jenna. Doesn't look like any doors that
• 36:05
  I've seen before. It's because it's in a canister,
• 36:08
  stupid. Roll Persuasion.
• 36:12
  Persuasion. I don't think I'm good at
• 36:13
  persuasion. No, I know they rolled rolled
• 36:23
  A7. It's pretty good, but doesn't
• 36:26
  beat your persuasion of 20 with a.
• 36:30
  It was close though because they rolled an 18 according to the
• 36:33
  actual numbers I have so. That was close.
• 36:37
  Oh. Great.
• 36:39
  Yeah. Here you want to check.
• 36:42
  Drugs. I'll leave you alone.
• 36:45
  Well, yeah, but here, look, let's just check.
• 36:47
  Let's just check the purity real quick right here.
• 36:51
  And I close my air vents and I pop it open for him to take a
• 36:54
  look inside. OK.
• 36:57
  Oh me, where's the Queen? Yeah, take a sniff.
• 37:00
  It's dwarf, normally green. Hey Jeff, is dwarf normally
• 37:03
  green to Paris where you get it from boss?
• 37:08
  You can tell by having a good sniff of it.
• 37:11
  Dwarf's edible, right? Yeah.
• 37:13
  And he puts the bottle to his mouth, takes a big old swing.
• 37:21
  Fart that feels like why does it taste like pine salt?
• 37:28
  Hey Jeff, Yeah. Plus does dorf normally make
• 37:32
  your arm let a numb? And he drops the canister on the
• 37:35
  ground if you want to catch. No, no, no, no, I said.
• 37:37
  I said I'd went and took it back from him.
• 37:39
  Roll for it, it's in his hand. See if you'll see if he'll let
• 37:41
  it go. Make a jumping save.
• 37:46
  Athletics, yes you do. Inside roll the 10, which I
• 37:49
  don't. You do a good job, you grab it
• 37:51
  as he starts to stagger backwards.
• 37:54
  Vivi, are you staying behind? I think so, yes.
• 37:58
  This guy, he staggers backwards and starts to cough a lot.
• 38:05
  Good shit. Yeah, Yeah.
• 38:09
  I feel I feel like they're not good version of Lightheaded.
• 38:14
  Oh God. And he starts to profusely
• 38:18
  vomit. See, that's the good shit.
• 38:22
  See what's happening right now is the sodium, the sodium
• 38:26
  blockers inside your brain are starting to overload and get
• 38:30
  shut off from the plankton that's inside your head now.
• 38:33
  And. And he forced the ground to
• 38:36
  start the seas. Yeah, you've been a bad, bad
• 38:43
  boy. Guys are crazy.
• 38:49
  I'm just going to softly but firmly rest my boot on his
• 38:56
  Adam's apple. Fuck this guys.
• 39:01
  And they all start running away, except one guy stays because he
• 39:05
  will die. What?
• 39:07
  The fuck, man. Pretty cool stuff, huh?
• 39:10
  You want some. No, I do not.
• 39:13
  You fucking. I think you killed him.
• 39:15
  And he starts to, like, seize on the ground.
• 39:17
  BB, you notice this guy's gonna die unless he gets medical
• 39:19
  attention. You don't need to roll for that.
• 39:21
  You just know. I retro, do we just want to let
• 39:26
  this happen? Maybe I will not stop you from
• 39:29
  doing your bit for the oath that you've taken.
• 39:33
  I also would like to point out, and if the gentleman here
• 39:38
  decided to stay, would attach this.
• 39:41
  You have attacked other people and killed them, or at least had
• 39:45
  the plan in your head to do so, right?
• 39:49
  Do not tonight person. Some guys bike not like a motor
• 39:57
  like a bicycle. It's been it's been a quiet
• 39:59
  night. I think everyone was in the
• 40:01
  market and that van. Yeah.
• 40:05
  So VV, if you want to save them, I'll take my, I'll take my boot
• 40:09
  off their throat. If you want to save them, go
• 40:11
  ahead, but I'm not going to. VV runs over across the way.
• 40:19
  All right, I'll help you and and.
• 40:23
  He's looking at you with eyes of he can't speak.
• 40:27
  He is vomiting too much. Oh God, he he's going to
• 40:30
  asphyxiate if we don't help. And he's, he's now shaking
• 40:36
  violently. How do you want to save this
• 40:39
  guy? Good question.
• 40:42
  I would like to try to stabilize him with if I have some sort of.
• 40:50
  So I'm going to tell you what, you watched him take this stuff,
• 40:53
  right? So he ingested it.
• 40:56
  Now if you'd roll lower, you would have had to give him
• 40:58
  something to vacate that that poison from his body, but
• 41:02
  because you're all high enough, you can do it for free in pretty
• 41:06
  much any way you want because you're all high.
• 41:07
  So don't worry about cost for this.
• 41:09
  I grab one of my air hypos and pull out my medical bag and
• 41:14
  quickly administer some sort of antibiotic to neutralize this
• 41:22
  bacteria. And I just shove it in and OK.
• 41:28
  And I just try to like, turn him so that he'll stop like vomiting
• 41:31
  on himself. Yeah, you put him in the
• 41:33
  recovery position. Yeah, and the the syringe you
• 41:37
  use is called a Z attack. AZ attack.
• 41:42
  Yeah, it's a pun on Z pack. That's very funny.
• 41:44
  Very funny, yes? All right, you should be.
• 41:50
  You should be stable for now, just take it easy.
• 41:52
  And she Pats them on the shoulder.
• 41:53
  George. You guys are fucking.
• 41:55
  Crazy. And he starts to come too, and
• 41:57
  he crawls backwards away from you on the ground.
• 42:01
  What are you doing? I don't know.
• 42:02
  They gave you poison, what else kind of fucked up shit could
• 42:05
  they do? They're working with a cowboy
• 42:06
  and a guy with one leg. Day, thank you.
• 42:09
  Day with one leg. Hold on, wait a minute.
• 42:11
  Maybe we should protect ourselves a little bit more.
• 42:14
  Drop all your firearms. The guy on the ground or me?
• 42:18
  Both. All of you.
• 42:19
  Real persuasion. It's a good one.
• 42:21
  You have to quit. Fail for me not to.
• 42:22
  He drops his gun on the ground. It's a shitty pistol and.
• 42:26
  What about Chuck there? He has an air pistol.
• 42:29
  It's loaded with ACID rounds. Yeah, we'll take that too. 10 in
• 42:32
  it acid pistol with 10 rounds. It does not do damage.
• 42:35
  All it does is break down your armor very well.
• 42:38
  So every time someone gets hit removes 2 from your armor
• 42:41
  regardless of whether you make enough damage.
• 42:42
  All right, that's rules that's written by the way, I didn't
• 42:44
  make. That up?
• 42:45
  Oh, yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
• 42:47
  I just think it's cool. You know what, there might be a
• 42:50
  way to be able to make this up to us.
• 42:51
  I think Chuck and your buddy, you want to give us a hand.
• 42:55
  How do you know my name? The fuck?
• 42:56
  I'm wearing a name badge. Fuck.
• 42:58
  Oh no, sorry. I was talking to up Chuck down
• 43:00
  here. My name is Chuck.
• 43:02
  So Chuck and up Chuck. Cool.
• 43:03
  What's best? Oh yeah, no, sure, just do.
• 43:06
  Just do. We should just let them call us
• 43:08
  what we want. Fuck.
• 43:11
  You. Yeah, I got AI got a Primo idea
• 43:13
  for you. Oh, hey, Jeff, did you ever find
• 43:15
  out what was over there that got thrown out?
• 43:17
  Oh. Yeah, it was over the track.
• 43:20
  It was a tracker and not the, and it wasn't a person.
• 43:22
  It wasn't like a tracker who like, you know, and it wasn't
• 43:24
  like a person whose job it is to track things.
• 43:26
  It was just a. It was just a little.
• 43:29
  You find this little box and it says it has retros logo on the
• 43:32
  box. Although this might look
• 43:35
  familiar to you well. Yep, that does make more sense
• 43:40
  of why we're going to need these two.
• 43:41
  Now where? Where did the shitty van go?
• 43:44
  Well, we stopped them and then they hit Dave.
• 43:47
  They went home. That's why there are skid marks
• 43:50
  over there. Do you see?
• 43:51
  This no skid marks, is it? I mean, I saw that one of you
• 43:54
  guys. Oh, got you.
• 43:58
  Yeah, not proved tires. Can you take us to where the van
• 44:00
  is now? I didn't see, I just know it
• 44:02
  went that way. Any points West?
• 44:04
  Is there an Is there a chop shop that way?
• 44:07
  Oh yeah, yeah, Pinky runs that fucking place.
• 44:10
  Pinky. Yeah, we don't like pinky.
• 44:14
  Well, let's have a chat about Pinky and show us where Pinky's
• 44:17
  at. Next time on no latency.
• 44:34
  This might make it worse for him.
• 44:35
  That looks rough. He's going to be cauliflower.
• 44:37
  Here I am going to take off my jacket so I do look more
• 44:40
  menacing, so my muscles are. Out my life is going to be in
• 44:42
  your hands. This is very specific
• 44:44
  instructions. It must be explosive.
• 44:46
  That's what I assume the red barrel means.
• 44:48
  Your other mask, if you have one.
• 44:50
  All right. I see it.
• 44:51
  OK. Just get them to open the doors
• 44:53
  and not open fire on us. Kind of quietly and carefully.
• 44:58
  Oh my plushy, we'll. Keep it in mind.
• 45:00
  Sneak my way over there. The horsemen are here and open
• 45:03
  the big fuck off doors so we can get our cut.
• 45:06
  I'm Pestilence. Oh my God.
• 45:08
  Oh well, look who it is. It's the plushy guy, the.
• 45:11
  Plushy guy of. Course there will be a bullet in
• 45:14
  your head man, but you can't help we.
• 45:15
  Can do that, you just have to get the barrel over there.
• 45:18
  Retro say when? Oh.
• 45:19
  Lady, I have had it about up to here.
• 45:22
  Crit sanitization. Oh, you.
