S2E122 - Last Words of a Wolfman · No Latency

0:02
Last time on no latency. I'm actually a doctor.
0:06
Forensic Ecology. A wolf.
0:07
They are actually a doctor. Last we saw that wolf man who
0:10
was out front. You did, yes.
0:12
Did you hit? Your head on the way down.
0:13
I should have spread my arms. I got wings.
0:15
You got more sets that sent Coke.
0:17
Did you know that there were bodies up here?
0:18
What? The hell was in.
0:20
Sir, would you mind just taking him?
0:23
Can you speed up with us? I mean, was he maybe scared of
0:25
the fireworks? Was this probably was a very fun
0:28
party We should. Have got us credentials, you're
0:30
right. Badge number douchebag.
0:31
Do you all think this has something to do with?
0:33
Yes, go ahead, because it does. This is what we're fucking
0:36
starting around here. Yeah, we.
0:38
Know, we know. Think I figured out his address.
0:40
I think we need to break in. Seems clear.
0:42
Was there somebody in there peeing or not?
0:44
Keep your guard. The one we're looking.
0:46
For the wolf, he's oh. Boy.
0:48
He's dead. He's dead.
1:01
Hold on, I should take a look. Wait, wait, didn't he kill me?
1:07
OK. If he's dead, then who is doing
1:13
all of the killing? Maybe he he might have just
1:17
died. Let me take a look.
1:20
Maybe he did a bunch of killing and and and died.
1:23
Well, I mean, I'm, I'm pretty sure that his blood was the one
1:28
was the same blood that was, you know, next to those victims.
1:32
So somehow he's at least bleeding on all these people
1:38
before dying. And that's the only other
1:42
explanation I could think of. The role resists torture drugs.
1:47
Oh. No.
1:49
Medical Tech VV 18 Yes, you've rolled very well, Jeb.
1:53
You start to knead and want to lick the blood out of the carpet
1:57
in the living room. There's not a lot of it, but it
2:00
does look relatively fresh. Do you?
2:03
You have to actually you. You bend down on your knees and
2:05
you lick it. One SEC, guys.
2:08
Well, just just one, just one second.
2:09
Oh, yeah. Oh, that's good.
2:14
Now, an interesting thing has happened in this apartment.
2:17
Both VV and Jeb have both rolled to inspect the remains of this
2:23
man, and you both discover that he's not been dead for very
2:27
long, maybe an hour. OK, that's OK.
2:35
This is He's not been dead long. OK, so there, there we go.
2:42
I guess, you know, problem solved, case closed.
2:47
He went around, killed some people.
2:48
They came over here and killed over and dad.
2:53
Retro You find some scrape marks on the kitchen table and the
3:02
open refrigerator. In the corner you find a can of
3:06
Boost. It's pretty cool.
3:08
Boost. Yeah, Nice.
3:09
Iona, on the other hand, kick something on the ground, this
3:14
small grey plastic oblong, it's got a few buttons on it and it
3:21
sort of skids across the ground and as it hits the wall it makes
3:24
a noise. Did he?
3:31
Leave a toy on the ground. What the hell was that?
3:37
What did it? What the fuck is?
3:39
That how does that. What does it look like?
3:44
Looks like a voice note taker. Oh.
3:47
Like a voice recorder. OK, I pick it back up and I hit
3:52
play again. Give me.
3:56
Money choose my face cut some time away, The river says I
4:02
might need some rest. I feel great, but you know, I'm
4:08
so hungry. I'm going to find something to
4:14
eat. Hungry.
4:20
Well, what? What about cyberware was going
4:22
to make him hungry? Does anybody know?
4:29
Well, I mean, could have had a replacement stomach or screwed
4:35
up neural link put in, but I'm going to probably bet that it's
4:41
the mysterious concoction of something called Body Fuel Bites
4:47
that makes people extremely. Listen, listen, Jeb, are you
4:51
hungry? Jeb, are you so hungry right
4:54
now? I mean, I definitely was hungry.
4:57
I just, I just kind of sorry, got to be a got to be a carpet
5:03
in my mouth. Oh yeah, I can see where you
5:05
were eating carpet. I wasn't eating the carpet.
5:07
I was slurping the carpet. I don't want the fiber.
5:11
Apologies, I didn't. I didn't mean to use the wrong
5:14
verbiage for. Your.
5:16
Entertainment and enjoyment of eating already blood spilt.
5:21
But but Arthur. Arthur didn't eat Jeb's blood.
5:26
Well, it it's, it's possible Vivi at the scene, did it look
5:32
like those bodies had been eaten or just torn apart it.
5:37
It it was some of them were torn apart and eaten it looks like,
5:43
but it was it was very feral in in nature.
5:48
Did any of them have body fuel bite in their systems?
5:52
I I don't think it did. They did, no.
5:55
And then another question, does body fuel bite?
6:00
Yeah, that's my question. When they exposed to air is it
6:04
an oxidizer? Like say if you know Jeb bled
6:08
out on the ground, is it still contagious or?
6:13
Looking in my system here, do we have any record of this
6:18
happening to someone who has been in a trial?
6:23
Results Results for body fueled skin Skin revealed ravenous
6:28
appetite. I did not like the skin
6:32
iteration. Of body fuel.
6:35
But we didn't. Get I own it.
6:36
That's the that, that's. The one we gave Domino.
6:41
Yes, it is. Wait you guys gave body fuel bad
6:46
to domino? What if Domino's the wolf man?
6:50
But but also that meant that Arthur didn't drink Jeb's serum
6:55
or blood. No.
6:58
Arthur drank Domino's blood. No.
7:02
Why would you do that? I.
7:04
Don't know, it was Phoebe's idea I keep.
7:07
Asking that question every goddamn time.
7:10
Well, I have to tell you, you were wrong then Retro.
7:15
Oh, I was wrong. I was wrong when I was.
7:18
Like, Oh yeah. Oh, my apologies for your
7:23
rebranding of horrible drug that we've been seeing that's been
7:27
rampaging around Night City since we've been to Goodstead,
7:31
to Jeb and every other motherfucker we want to take us
7:34
on. So hungry Jeb's not out here
7:37
cannibalizing people. He's watching carpet right now.
7:40
What are you? What are you saying?
7:41
I don't see anything wrong with that.
7:43
It's not hurting anyone. I'm confused.
7:46
He's almost left us to die a couple of times because it can't
7:49
control. Let's let's not be, let's not be
7:51
loud while we're in an apartment with a dead body and a lot of
7:53
blood. I'm sorry.
7:56
Sorry, what we? Get up off the ground, please.
8:00
I'm sorry. It's just, it's real.
8:02
It's real tasty. I don't know what it is.
8:03
Maybe it's because it also has somebody feel bad in it, but.
8:06
Whatever it may be. It's oh gosh, does that mean
8:10
that Jeb just consumed body for your skin?
8:14
You can scan him for For the. For the purposes of this,
8:17
though, no, not enough. Oh.
8:19
Thank goodness. Vivi, would you mind doing a
8:22
quick scan? Yeah, let me take a look.
8:24
I just want to make sure that Jeb is not going to turn on us.
8:27
I'm just going to go ahead and just pick Jeb up like, you know,
8:30
a, a, a puppy that's eating. Something that I'm very.
8:33
Strong. And just and just.
8:35
No. No Bad Jeb, No.
8:39
No, fine, fine Jays, I don't have anything nasty around here.
8:46
OK. You can't just eat it off the
8:48
floor jab yet. If you're going to have it, at
8:49
least have it then. Something looks like fresh and
8:51
clean scanning. Scanning.
8:53
Well, I didn't want I wasn't going to start eat.
8:54
My animal bite is is is is molecularly interlocked.
9:01
Molecularly interlocked. What?
9:04
I. No further body fuel bite
9:07
infection can occur. Full human saturation detected.
9:11
OK, Yes, that's what what that means is that a body fuel of any
9:16
sort pass. This won't affect him, which is
9:20
good. That's good, Vendel.
9:22
Do we? That is good, Vendel.
9:24
Do we have anything like that about full saturation in the
9:29
notes? That was the, well, I mean,
9:32
that's that's the theory that once you've taken enough of it,
9:35
it, it basically doesn't leave you like Mercury, like ever.
9:41
Sorry, Jeb. Wait, Mercury will never leave
9:44
you. Unless it's in retrograde.
9:48
How did you give? Money.
9:50
So funny. Have you been reading my books?
9:53
Yes, I know you have camera froze.
9:55
That's bad news. I.
9:56
See that That's OK. No, Jeb, I will knock radio.
10:03
What? There's so many funny people
10:07
talking I can't get back. To it.
10:10
Phoebe, what you do notice about Arthur's body is he has this big
10:14
metal wolf jaw that he had installed.
10:18
Oh, that explains. Oh, this big, this big metal
10:24
wolf. Jaw.
10:25
Explains his wolf man behaviours.
10:30
Let me take a look at this thing.
10:32
And does this look like cyberwear?
10:33
Yes it is cyberwear. You also notice it notice that
10:36
he has Wolvers installed as well as some stuff done.
10:40
He's had a lot of work done in a very short amount of time and
10:42
the body growth has been quick but scarring.
10:45
Wow, he's gone full wolf. You never got full wolf.
10:52
Cyber psycho. There probably is some level of
10:55
cyber psychosis as well in this given the nature of all of his
11:00
installments. He owed money to the Maelstrom.
11:03
That's what Detective Rothko said.
11:07
He owed money to to Maelstrom which?
11:11
But if he'd got the if he got, if he got the cyberware done
11:14
after we gave him money and and you know, his weird infection
11:20
that it would be difficult for the maelstrom to do it because
11:22
they're dead. So he would have had to find a
11:24
Ripper duck. Well, that is what the voice
11:28
note said. You look at the voice note
11:31
machine and you see that there are two more files on it.
11:33
Oh. I've had something to eat.
11:42
Maybe this jaw wasn't a good idea.
11:45
I have these urges, I can smell them.
11:50
I'm so hungry all the time. Why did they do this to me?
11:58
The last one. Fought back.
12:02
I heal so quickly. I need more cyber gear.
12:07
God I'm hungry but I'm going to eat first.
12:11
So hungry I'm going to go find something to eat.
12:19
Why do you think? Why do you think he's leaving
12:22
messages for himself? Because he's psychotic.
12:26
Probably has something to do with the the radio drama that
12:30
we're a part of. Oh.
12:36
He's, I mean, he's also vlogging, so.
12:40
Oh, it's a visual medium. He's a No, he's a.
12:43
Creator Voice. Blogging.
12:44
Voice blogging? Yes.
12:47
Voice blogging. Yeah.
12:49
OK, Yeah. Yeah, a garden cast.
12:52
It's a garden cast but also crazy people record themselves
12:55
all the time. Yeah, no, I was.
12:57
I was sold on that as soon as Retro said something.
13:00
It's narratively very useful. All right, let's let's listen to
13:06
the third one before I really like finalize my theories.
13:11
OK. You go to press the third one
13:15
and it seems as though someone has tried to delete the file.
13:19
The file is corrupted. In some form, although it is
13:23
still it's not indexable currently.
13:27
What does that mean? Not indexable.
13:31
You need a nerd to fix it. Oh, I know one of those you.
13:36
Going to call fresh. Well, I was thinking you first.
13:40
You're here and available, are you not?
13:42
I, I believe the voice in the sky, said nerd.
13:45
And I'm not that. I'm sorry, do we?
13:49
I I'm sorry, when we get down from the ceiling, it was me.
13:52
I said it. We need to learn.
13:53
I'll stop playing. I just didn't want to touch the
13:56
carpet in case there's evidence. Fair enough when somebody's just
13:59
vacuuming it up with their mouth, I would understand your.
14:01
Your Jeb, you can stop now. That roll was long enough The.
14:07
The roll shaking your head. No, no, you rolled resist
14:09
torture drugs earlier and then I was like, you can now stop
14:12
eating the carpet. I think you've got enough.
14:15
Oh yeah, no, no, I have a I think I've I've pretty I've
14:18
pretty much lapped up every last drop that good, good.
14:22
Look how it. Took the refrigerator and
14:24
there's just a beer in there. Oh well.
14:29
Don't mind if. I do all right here.
14:35
Let's let a professional fix it, not just a nerd.
14:41
How about a professional nerd? Funny.
14:46
Yeah. I'm not laughing at you.
14:49
Roll for it. What do you want me to get on
14:53
the ceiling and tell you to do it?
14:55
Yeah, get get above me. I need I need somebody that
14:58
actually like towers over me to get stuff done properly all.
15:02
Right. Vendel jumps onto the dining
15:04
room tape. Roll for it.
15:07
Also, I have to roll athletics now.
15:09
Oh. Shit, Vendel.
15:13
Shit, Vendel. What, what?
15:15
What? Oh, athletics.
15:17
Oh. No.
15:20
Your. Wheels that don't work on the
15:23
carpet. They fall over and smack
15:26
themselves against the vending machine, causing shit five
15:31
damage. Something falls out vending
15:35
machine. Doesn't do my arms.
15:37
No, because we confirmed in the last episode that the vending
15:39
machine is broken and gross, which is mildly annoying.
15:43
True. I'll tell you what, I'll roll
15:44
the roll the Schrodinger's cat dice.
15:46
If we roll a cat, then I get something nice.
15:49
I rolled a skeleton, I get fuck all.
15:52
The. Crit award dice and if I get a
15:54
crit award then then something does fall out of the vanilla.
15:58
Fair enough. I got a 5 ow I.
16:01
Hurt. Myself.
16:03
But in the meantime, while all this shenanigans is going on,
16:06
Retro does fix the voice recorder with a 27, and it plays
16:11
the third and last message dated just a few hours ago.
16:18
Someone's been following me. It's not the NCPD.
16:24
They won't find me, The Ripper said.
16:30
I should eat. Rest.
16:34
He's at rest. But eat.
16:37
I'm so hungry. Oh, oh more.
16:49
I'm delivery coming. Hello, it's Arthur.
16:58
Right. Can I help you?
17:02
I'm a doctor. I'm here to treat you.
17:06
OK, won't you come in? Would you like something to eat?
17:12
No. But I have something for you,
17:18
Arthur. You have something I want.
17:21
Wait. This won't hurt.
17:24
Me. Did we check to see how he died?
17:47
Night City. If you look at a map of North
17:50
America, somewhere on the western edge you'd see an inky
17:52
black dot with fingers pressing into the side of the continent.
17:56
That's where you find Night City.
17:58
And somewhere in the middle of that inky black dot is a giant
18:01
smoking hole, like the universe itself drew iron and shot
18:05
straight through the city. Radiation turned the sky red,
18:09
but our story starts a little further South in a dive bar the
18:14
shortstop. Welcome to Night City and
18:17
welcome to Cyberpunk Edge of Extinction.
18:22
Infinite sided dice presents cyberpunk Edge of extinction a
18:25
cyberpunk red actual play. Watch now at.
18:28
Youtube.com. Slash at infinite sided dice.
18:32
Catch you later tunes. Let me take a look, a closer
18:53
look at the body and see what I can find.
18:58
I'll do a little forensics check here.
19:05
I should really like add forensics as like a skill 'cause
19:07
I feel like we're often BB's often looking at dead bodies.
19:11
Dead bodies. BB has a skill now of just
19:16
forensics. Forensic Pathology.
19:18
Yeah. That is, is that a skill inside
19:21
my red? I don't.
19:22
Think no. It's a damn skill.
19:24
For everything else. Surprisingly, yeah.
19:27
Medical Tech 23 While examining the body, you discover a few
19:32
things. Your little device, as it scans,
19:35
reads out a few results to you. Scanning subject is missing all
19:40
blood, 8 to 9 pints are missing. Flesh is eating itself.
19:48
Warning Warning, body will decompose in.
19:53
And as it tries to give you a time frame, you watch parts of
19:57
his flesh start to go grey and fall into him as his body starts
20:03
to fall into dust. Your scan grabbing the last few
20:06
bits of information and all that's left on the screen is
20:10
that every drop of blood was insanguinated from this man.
20:15
What a good word. And that without that blood
20:18
there, the body fuel bite ate himself to dust.
20:25
What? As the readout completes, what's
20:28
left on the ground are a few bones and the connected pieces
20:33
of cyberware around them. As bits of flesh slowly melt
20:38
into this is. Like blackened ash almost some
20:40
sort of like something ate him the the body feel bite like ate
20:48
him from within. He had two puncture wounds on
20:51
his neck where the blood was. Drawn OH.
20:56
So he was desanguinated like a vampire.
21:01
Drained him dry kind of thing. Well, the players don't exist.
21:06
But didn't we hear a drill? I We.
21:10
Did hear a drill I imagine. Somebody drilled him and then
21:12
took all the blood because they wanted to.
21:16
It's somebody. It's not.
21:18
Those weren't drills. Those were cyber fangs.
21:22
Oh God. Fires do exist.
21:24
There's a well from what I remote well this there is a
21:28
gang, a street gang called the Philharmonic vampires that think
21:35
that they're vampires. That's actually you can and gang
21:40
like like the maelstrom and all of that.
21:41
There's the Philharmonic vampires.
21:43
Those harmonic vampires. And they all like, think they're
21:48
vampires and have like cyberwear that make them think they're
21:50
vampires. But anyway.
21:52
You have that thought VV, but then you think to yourself, none
21:56
of them are doctors. Yeah, but this one said he was a
22:00
doctor. OK, so I say I'm a doctor
22:05
sometimes. Well, I was so.
22:09
Or and and doctors can be vampires also, you know.
22:14
People, while everyone has been arguing about this, Retro has
22:21
now changed costumes. They are no longer a pirate.
22:25
Retro always keeps extra costumes.
22:28
They're now dressed in a a like Peach tan suit with a very nice
22:34
tie and such, looking very dapper.
22:40
Yes. Friends.
22:43
Friends, please. Obviously we can tell here by
22:47
what we've denoted from this that there is somebody who has
22:49
come to the door and has caught our so-called victim in a trap.
22:56
Obviously they were expecting somebody else to show up as they
22:59
were saying as a joke of take out food.
23:03
However, the person they were expecting did not show up.
23:05
It was somebody else, somebody that was hungry, somebody that
23:09
already knew the victim, somebody who potentially the
23:12
victim had met before and probably was harassed, slash
23:16
attended to by said, say, like a Doctor Who had already cloned
23:22
himself into this person before. If I remember retro you said he
23:30
was a mutant because he had his DNA change but clone works.
23:32
Please continue. I like the bit.
23:36
Now as one of my name of being Hercule Porois, I would deduce
23:44
that it could be a strange rogue Ripper dock that potentially has
23:51
mutated others by a via cloning of trying to create themselves.
23:55
As we've already talked about this before, several weeks, if
24:00
not a month ago, If I'm right, ma'am, was LVV.
24:05
Med was help Evie. He's doing a whole stick.
24:11
He's he's. Doing the Belgian guy.
24:16
What Belgian guy? He said Hercules parrot.
24:23
Yeah, that one. That does sound right, yes.
24:28
And so we've landed on the fact that this guy was insanguinated.
24:35
Desanguinated blood, sucked by a bunch of by a bunch of maybe
24:43
doctors, but definitely cyber vampires.
24:46
It sounds like one guy, but yeah.
24:48
OK. That is correct, my lovely
24:51
friend. It sounds like he has been
24:54
drained of his blood, completely sucked off by this doctor.
25:00
Oh. Phrasing.
25:03
We were munching carpet and now we're sucking people off like I
25:07
don't and. That's OK.
25:09
Yes, yes. So my question is to the group
25:12
then, especially those who potentially have already met
25:16
with said doctor that has caused these permutations to before,
25:20
where would they be? Where would they be?
25:25
Because the other question that still leads for the motive, why
25:30
did he come back to finish the job if that is that person, But
25:36
it is all in just the theory at this time.
25:38
So does anybody know where to find this fanged dude?
25:46
That recording did we get trying to remember what he said in the
25:52
recording, He said the other. He said this guy's name right?
25:55
Awesome. Arthur.
25:58
Do you think NCPD has a a comprehensive catalog of
26:05
biometrics including voice? Or do you want to?
26:11
Or do you want to just roll to see if you recognize the voice,
26:13
Phoebe? I can.
26:15
I would like to. Again, I think I have an idea of
26:20
who this might be, but let's see if I can jog my memory.
26:29
You listen to the recording. Rest, eat.
26:32
Rest, he said. Rest.
26:35
And as the tape continues, you listen to his madness overtake
26:40
him. I'm.
26:40
So hungry. This was just a little bit after
26:46
he killed everyone at the hill view.
26:48
And you hear a voice in the background knock again and the
26:52
door open coming. Hello.
26:57
It's Arthur, right? And that is the voice.
27:02
I'm a doctor. I'm here to treat you that.
27:05
Guy, the guy. Of Doctor Glass.
27:09
Doctor Glass. That's Doctor Glass.
27:15
Am I supposed to know who Larry is?
27:17
I told you guys about him. Is he like a celebrity or
27:21
something? Or he's the one that tried to
27:23
clone himself a bunch. Yes.
27:26
Oh. Yes, he's the the clone guy that
27:34
Oh my gosh. That with the with the blood
27:36
that secure for cyber rejection but he can't use cyberwear.
27:41
Chubb, Remember when we all went and took out the Maelstrom
27:44
gangsters and we found Mr. Mark Ziegler and a another person,
27:51
which is what said Wolfman before.
27:56
Yeah, yes, they're both dead. However we do know that the how
28:02
the death of one of them was by a certain member of our group.
28:06
However, this other one who was already going through the
28:10
changes that Doctor Glass had befallen on them, was revisited
28:17
by him only to now be drained of his blood instead of his typical
28:22
conversion into another type of himself.
28:27
So how long do we think that he has been watched by Doctor
28:31
Glass? And why would Doctor Glass come
28:34
back after potentially being known and sought out by this
28:40
particular person if not the NCPD, if he had brought charges
28:43
against them? What was that?
28:48
What was that? Somebody knocking somebody
28:54
there, turn off the lights. Hello.
29:00
Hello, Mr. Right there. Oh, hello.
29:09
I it's probably the landlord. Mr. Arthur, don't worry, it's
29:15
not the landlord. Well, that settles that.
29:23
Everybody rolls stealth, including Vendel, but not VV
29:26
because VV is in the bathroom. Does it sound like Doctor Glass?
29:34
Roll perception. Hello.
29:41
Hello. Hello, Iona.
29:44
You recognize the voice as Detective Roscoe?
29:48
Damn it, it's Vendel. Detective.
29:54
Is the night it is completely hidden, but also Vendel is now
29:59
climbing on the ceiling and is looking through event at Roscoe
30:03
and you can now see what he's doing.
30:05
What is he doing? He's just standing there
30:07
knocking, trying to listen at the door.
30:09
Hello, Arthur. Arthur.
30:15
He can't know we're in here. Arthur, I have somebody who
30:19
needs to know you're OK. OK.
30:25
Can you call? And he slips a card under the
30:32
door and leaves because you all rolled incredibly high on
30:35
stealth so damn. Good, good for us.
30:41
I can't believe I did it. Retro.
30:46
OK, he's gone. Oh.
30:47
Sorry I forgot to put on The Voice, my bad.
30:50
He's gone. He's gone.
30:51
He's gone. OK, everybody, he's gone.
30:54
Oh, that was close. I feel like that was the
30:56
sneakiest I've ever been in my entire life.
30:58
Yeah, you, you rolled A crit and said an eye.
31:00
That was amazing, that. Was amazing.
31:01
I was on the ceiling. That the voice from the sky.
31:03
I didn't. Know you went.
31:05
I know I was knight. I was.
31:06
I was stealth. I was the knight.
31:08
Yeah, I'm going to be honest, you guys, I, I feel like I was
31:10
just kind of decently stealthy compared to you guys.
31:13
I mean, I thought I was like blending into the shadows.
31:16
I look around and I was like, where did everyone go?
31:20
I, I, I, I went on. I went on the ceiling.
31:22
That makes more sense when you drop down, I noticed, yeah.
31:27
Retro is just nervously pacing in just one spot because they're
31:29
still high on synth coke, so they just have all this energy
31:32
and they. You've got about two hours left
31:36
of your high. Actually, you've still got some
31:38
time. Oh.
31:38
Yeah. Oh, yeah.
31:39
Oh, yeah. Oh.
31:40
Yeah. Oh yeah.
31:40
Oh. Yeah, that's synthetic stuff.
31:43
Yes, I would like to use my my increased in cognizance from
31:50
this particular drug to try to see if there's anything else to
31:53
deduce around here. Sure, Rob Perception.
31:57
I've got a a better idea. Sure.
32:00
Whatever you want. I'm going to roll dance.
32:05
I shall deduce. You rolled a crit 25 and what
32:09
you find as you you move around the room, you check the sofa and
32:14
you find a 5 Eddie Bill. You check one of the cabinets in
32:17
here and you find 30 scrap of just like stuff that you can use
32:22
which you do actually need. So well done.
32:24
And as you slam the fridge shut in a theatrical way, there on
32:30
the fridge is a receipt for his cyberwear and the address of his
32:33
Ripper dock. Well, how do you do?
32:36
And look in loo? Look what I found, everybody.
32:41
I found the address to that Ripper dock, one that we could
32:44
go and visit and just see what poor Arthur's been up to.
32:48
Well, it's an address, and we should probably get out of the
32:51
apartment with the dead body. Iona, it's mostly dust now.
32:57
There are bones here. That's true, we should get the
33:01
fuck out of here. We should.
33:05
Yeah, my faithful companion, Jeff, why, why don't you drive
33:08
us to this next location, please?
33:11
Well, sure, of course. All right, and I will make my
33:15
way outside of the apartment, playing classical music as I go,
33:18
because I think that's what makes me seem fancy.
33:22
All right, great. Roll Roll me a driving check as
33:28
you get in the van. Does anyone want to do any
33:31
checks in the van before you arrive at your destination?
33:34
Can I look up doctor glass? True.
33:41
I am looking for residence and any articles related to doctor
33:52
glass. How long I'm looking?
34:01
At. As we're driving retro is also
34:07
change the music style now to that of something of a royalty
34:12
free mysterious on the on the prowl music to accompany us via
34:19
the ambience. Let me know when you've rolled.
34:25
Yeah, I was just thinking about what I want to roll, but I'm
34:28
going to just. So many choices.
34:30
There's so many choices. Education 20 Crit 25 Look at
34:33
those crit in a row. Holy.
34:35
Shit. 4/4 crits in a row, yes. So you that's.
34:39
Fine, three of those were mine. Three of those, which is crazy.
34:43
So well, wait, it's it's all coming down from here.
34:46
You have a crit 25. And what you find out is that
34:51
Doctor Glass has been working in night City for a few years.
34:55
His blood is a cure for cyber tech rejection.
35:00
And a lot of the elite use it. A lot of them will pay in humans
35:04
because he needs their organs to replenish himself.
35:08
His blood is. Humans is that?
35:10
What he said, yeah, he needs body parts.
35:12
So he will he will genetically modify the victims, random
35:17
people that don't matter according to the corporate
35:21
circles, and then harvest those organs from these people's
35:25
bodies for himself. Just like cheapest creepers.
35:29
While the computer is reading this out ionet you with your
35:33
crit success, you can see Vivi's expression getting redder and a
35:39
bead of sweat dripped down her brow.
35:44
She looks guilty. Vivi.
35:48
Vivi looks guilty. Vivi, what are you?
35:53
OK, yeah, I'm just, I'm just thinking about all of this and I
36:06
feel like I might be responsible for some of this.
36:10
I mean, you are but. No, even even deeper than that.
36:16
This, this Doctor Glass, he, he gave me a choice.
36:25
And I I don't know if I made the right one.
36:28
On that last line, you slide up outside of the Riffer Docks
36:34
residence. Everyone looks at VV in silence.
36:41
What you do VV? Well.
36:47
When I was I, I told you guys about what happened with Doctor
36:52
Glass and his whole, like, body, body replacement agenda.
37:00
Right. Sure.
37:03
When he he gave me this choice basically that I, if I could
37:09
help him, if I had to perform a surgery on him to help him live,
37:15
he would continue his treatment to save people at the cost of
37:22
the heart of this guy Glenn. And so I made that choice.
37:33
I took the heart of somebody and I administered it into Doctor
37:39
Glass and let him live and continue.
37:42
Vivi. Yeah, you can't you.
37:45
Can't be responsible for the outcomes of a choice that you
37:50
made without knowing all of the insurance and outs.
37:54
You can only be judged on your actions based on the information
37:58
that you had. Just because someone goes out
38:04
there and does some pretty fucked up shit, I, I will admit
38:11
you, you couldn't have known that you can't hold yourself
38:13
responsible for something like that.
38:16
Maybe I should have just let Doctor Glass just perish there.
38:23
Yeah. But at the time, what the
38:25
information that you had was well, like you said that he he
38:29
was going to he was going to help people, right?
38:33
That's what it seemed like. And I'm I'm a doctor.
38:36
My my immediate thought is always to help as many people as
38:40
I possibly can. It's one of those that help.
38:44
The Hippo oath, yeah. The Hippocratic Oath, yes.
38:50
I agree with what our audacious friend is saying here.
38:54
You can't take a, a, a page against you.
38:58
If they promised to use their curative powers to help those in
39:03
need, those that can't afford such particular treatments, to
39:09
to to save yourself and them not following through on the issue.
39:12
You had made a deal and they went back on it.
39:14
Yeah. Look at where we are now.
39:23
Livi, if you look at how many deals there are made here at
39:27
Night City with people that had good intentions to paved into
39:31
this city of Dis, then you know, we wouldn't have what we have
39:36
now. So the best you can do is just
39:38
make up for, you know, the sins of those that have, you know,
39:43
gone against you and that populace and make up for it.
39:49
Yeah, I guess I just never thought I would be the one that
39:54
would be the the good intentions Rd. to hell yeah.
40:05
Sometimes you have to live with those choices and it just kind
40:11
of sucks. Next to happen.
40:23
Oh no, wait and see. Ends up blazing, as you've put
40:29
it. We might want to do a more
40:31
diplomatic approach, my friend. Trying to talk to them are.
40:36
We taking a man? Taking him in a way or like to
40:38
the police. The four hired detective.
40:41
Have you seen Doctor Glass? I honestly think that.
40:44
What happened with this guy? Honesty and directness are
40:47
probably the best policy. That's what the kids are calling
40:49
it now, the heat. Hello, Ripper, Doc Rudy.
40:53
Everybody point and laugh at. Remy Well, well, well, well, I
40:56
say, I say. Entourage best friends.
40:59
Here for moral support. Oh, it's moving.
41:02
What's the Super vulva? Oh, because that could be fun.
41:08
LED's DE what are you going to do about it?
41:11
Like. Sue us.
41:12
Your cohort also called me dirty.
41:14
Strong, smart, deductive. That's you.
41:18
I mean, I was just, I was just waiting.
41:19
Everyone else was doing something.
41:20
I didn't want to get in the way. OK, Bang, Bang.
41:22
