  Last time on no latency. What do you think you're doing?
• 0:06
  Damn it, could you please stop shooting me?
• 0:09
  You're not. Even blowing your cover.
• 0:10
  That's what secret shoppers do in Night City.
• 0:12
  Stay with us, I will help you in a minute, Guest doc.
• 0:15
  Who is this guy? The Cavalry.
• 0:17
  Wow, leaving yourself. Oh, that one was bad.
• 0:19
  That one got that guy's. Oh, I'm telling you now, step
• 0:23
  away from the vehicle. VV helps people.
• 0:27
  So these guys are trying to get into that truck.
• 0:29
  Huh, that sounds like a lot steps.
• 0:30
  That's right, too many steps. Bang.
• 0:32
  I'm assuming this guy's probably shit in his pants.
• 0:34
  Yes, they are going to pay that guy.
• 0:36
  Probably had a family. We're leaving the boss alive,
• 0:38
  aren't we? Your generosity is going to be
• 0:40
  you. Got a rebreather?
• 0:41
  That'll probably do it. Just shove it into.
• 0:43
  His mouth. Thank you, Jeb.
• 0:45
  How much generous I am with your Dick.
• 0:47
  I could use medical attention. Help is on the way Iona.
• 1:03
  Is on the way. Go ahead.
• 1:07
  All right, let's let's assess the situation first.
• 1:10
  How is Iona looking? Hot.
• 1:15
  I mean, that's that's a given. Busty, per usual.
• 1:20
  Initiating many scans, scan and. Scanning where are their wounds?
• 1:24
  Again reminding. Torn muscle on left side.
• 1:29
  DB13 to fix in field. First aid or paramedics check
• 1:33
  subject likely in pain. Painkillers must only be
• 1:36
  considered if budget allows. Torn muscle.
• 1:40
  Sheesh. Yeah, it it doesn't feel good.
• 1:44
  Yeah. Tear a muscle like that, maybe.
• 1:46
  I'm sure you know this, but for the rest of you, when you tear a
• 1:49
  muscle like that, it it just coils up inside of you, Yeah.
• 1:54
  Yeah, not pleasant. You have to go in and pull it
• 1:57
  back down. So like a rubber band that
• 2:00
  you've cut? Should have scratched.
• 2:02
  Well, I'm about to do that right now, Iona say get ready.
• 2:05
  All right, do I have something to bite on?
• 2:08
  Do you want? Yeah.
• 2:10
  Here, take take some gauze. Helpful.
• 2:14
  Thank you. Oh, it's making my mouth so dry.
• 2:17
  Oh my. God I.
• 2:21
  Think do we have something else? Someone I'm wearing a belt.
• 2:25
  What am I thinking? And take off my belt.
• 2:26
  Oh. Wow, kinky and.
• 2:28
  Bite on. Bite on.
• 2:32
  All right already. Oh.
• 2:34
  I have, I have tent, I have tent and camping equipment.
• 2:37
  So I think I got AI got like a one of them one of them pulls.
• 2:42
  You, you, you slightly step on the guy on the ground don't
• 2:45
  cause him any damage, but he isn't comfortable.
• 2:50
  He's still wearing that rebreather on his face.
• 2:53
  Good. All right, let's do this.
• 2:58
  Go to fix up I own her in the back of the van as she leans
• 3:01
  next to a box with a star crudely drawn on it.
• 3:04
  Oh, but by the way, the star, the stars lean.
• 3:07
  Oh, I'm done yet. Hold on, let me put the belt
• 3:09
  back in my mouth. Here we go and I try to repair
• 3:15
  the muscle you. Beat the DB13, you help repair
• 3:19
  the torn muscle with a little bit of super glue through a
• 3:23
  little keyhole you dig into her flesh.
• 3:26
  Ow ow ow. But you managed to suture them
• 3:31
  together on the inside. It's it's a, it's a very quick
• 3:33
  fix and it's a very skilled thing to do.
• 3:35
  It's quite impressive actually. And afterwards you give Iona 3D6
• 3:41
  health. So roll ME3D6.
• 3:43
  Me or Iona? No, you're doing the treatment.
• 3:46
  You have to roll it 8 again 8HP. Thank you.
• 3:52
  That'll at least help. For now, seems the bulk of our
• 3:57
  fighting and physical violence is done, so just just rest here
• 4:02
  in the van and we should get out of here.
• 4:05
  Oh, like, like I, I, I was saying before you dug, dug into
• 4:09
  my skin. The stars are the what we want.
• 4:12
  There's those three boxes. Oh, oh, I see.
• 4:16
  OK, well let's get these boxes, get Savannah White and get out
• 4:21
  of here. God, I would love to get out of
• 4:23
  here. Yes.
• 4:24
  The transponders themselves are about big enough to fit in a
• 4:28
  locker, so the boxes aren't that huge.
• 4:30
  You could just carry them out of here.
• 4:33
  I will not. Be doing that.
• 4:35
  Yep, I I got this. I can probably carry 2 on my
• 4:37
  own. They don't look that big.
• 4:40
  Hey, Retro, you good? Yeah, I'm actually doing pretty
• 4:48
  good. I'm doing with my new buddy, the
• 4:52
  Cavalry. Yeah, a lot of those dudes just
• 4:56
  kind of like jumped the wall and ran away.
• 4:59
  I don't know. What's your pip?
• 5:02
  Well, we killed most of their guys.
• 5:05
  There were more than that. There were like 5 that ran away.
• 5:07
  How many did you kill? A couple.
• 5:11
  But. Maybe they got intimidated.
• 5:13
  When you killed more guys that were out there, that's like at
• 5:15
  least what, 1098? That's a lot, 760, sorry.
• 5:24
  We're going to get these these boxes, the transponder stuff,
• 5:29
  and get the hell out of here. So yeah, maybe you can come by
• 5:35
  here and help. Iona's pretty rough and Jeb and
• 5:39
  Vandel are going to be carrying some boxes and.
• 5:43
  And while you're having this conversation, you are distracted
• 5:46
  by the noise of beeping coming from the guy in the ground, and
• 5:49
  you can see him start to go blue.
• 5:54
  Oh God, what the hell. The rebreather has run out of
• 5:57
  air. Oh.
• 5:59
  Wait, isn't a rebreather the idea that it cycles the air?
• 6:04
  No, it's just a name. They have tanks.
• 6:06
  They let you breathe underwater for 5 minutes.
• 6:08
  If you want to breathe underwater indefinitely, you
• 6:10
  have to get cyber gills put in. So the guy on the ground is now,
• 6:15
  yeah, you can get gills put in that let you process water as
• 6:18
  oxygen. So he's.
• 6:19
  On the ground is now suffocating.
• 6:23
  Well. What are we?
• 6:23
  Going to do this guy. You all right?
• 6:28
  Hey, hey, guy. He's not all right.
• 6:30
  He's over. Kind of like this.
• 6:32
  Guy is hog tied on the ground now, gasping for air.
• 6:36
  I RIP off the. I RIP off the thing.
• 6:42
  You OK? I don't.
• 6:43
  Breathe. Oh fuck.
• 6:46
  What do you had a rebreather? You dumb fuck.
• 6:49
  They only have 5 minutes of oxygen.
• 6:53
  No, that doesn't sound right. I put it back in, take it back
• 7:01
  out. Hey buddy, who?
• 7:07
  Who are you working for? They all work for me.
• 7:11
  I'm one of the hottest choosing. Didn't you throw up earlier?
• 7:18
  Yeah, man, I had a big lunch. Uh huh.
• 7:20
  OK, OK what'd you want with the stuff on the back of the truck?
• 7:25
  I. Don't know man, it was one of
• 7:27
  the corners. Easiest because there's no
• 7:29
  camera here. I just wanted to steal some
• 7:31
  shit, you know, buy some trucks. You guys, this guy's, this guy's
• 7:38
  nothing. So you're just a bunch of
• 7:39
  scavengers. You're not any part of
• 7:41
  affiliated with any gangs or street groups?
• 7:45
  Not. A dog.
• 7:46
  I'm just a guy. Try.
• 7:48
  To live. All right, well, sorry we killed
• 7:50
  your friends. Oh, let's just should we just
• 7:54
  leave this poor guy on the side of the street?
• 7:58
  Call up trauma team. Come and get them.
• 8:00
  Oh. No, I don't have insurance.
• 8:03
  Don't fucking do that to me. I know that's worse than death
• 8:08
  some days. Those those medical bills you
• 8:10
  know well, that'll teach you for stealing.
• 8:15
  Not to point it out, but not you guys stealing.
• 8:19
  We're repurposing. We're doing it for the greater.
• 8:22
  Good. Framing me to steal it so no one
• 8:24
  finds out that you stole it. I'd be really bad foot.
• 8:27
  Oh, I should shut the fuck up. Should not.
• 8:31
  Well, now I don't want to do that because you said it.
• 8:35
  Good, because I'd be fucked all. Right.
• 8:39
  Well, I, I, I feel kind of bad. Let's just leave this guy.
• 8:46
  Just no, I think. We should keep him tied up
• 8:51
  because I don't trust you. And then we put you to the side
• 8:54
  of the street for somebody to pick you up.
• 9:00
  OK. All right, Jeb, you you're in
• 9:04
  charge of this guy. I'll get one of the other boxes.
• 9:07
  Mendel's got the other two, Retro's going to come by to help
• 9:11
  Iona, and let's get the hell out of here.
• 9:14
  Yeah, that sounds good to me. You gather up the boxes and you
• 9:20
  make your way to the street outside and you meet up with
• 9:26
  Retro, who's standing next to a guard with a T-shirt on that
• 9:29
  says cavalry across his chest. That's a pretty sick logo, dude.
• 9:35
  I know man, thanks. I know you can.
• 9:40
  You can. You can bug out the the blunt,
• 9:42
  that's fine. Yeah, thanks.
• 9:44
  Man, so this is. Is this your new friend Retro?
• 9:47
  Hey. What's up?
• 9:49
  I'm friends with Barry. Friends with Barry.
• 9:52
  I'm friends with Barry, which means we're Eskimo buddies,
• 9:55
  which means we're also now you. And Barry?
• 9:57
  Fuck, that's cool dude. Oh yeah, we fuck.
• 10:02
  Nice man, that's just tube shit. Well, you know, sometimes,
• 10:09
  sometimes the date and pools a bit.
• 10:11
  You know what don't need to discuss this around business
• 10:15
  we're. We're business.
• 10:16
  Hey, why is that guy tied up? Yeah, honestly, I'm asking
• 10:22
  myself. I'm asking myself the same
• 10:24
  question. He he tried to, he threatened us
• 10:27
  earlier. So we're just covering our
• 10:30
  bases. All right, OK.
• 10:31
  I kind of feel like maybe we should just let him go.
• 10:33
  I mean, like, what? What?
• 10:34
  What good is he to us now? He's in pretty poor condition.
• 10:38
  He's not much of A threat. All right, untie him.
• 10:41
  Yeah, I'm with you. Jeb takes his takes his his
• 10:45
  knife out and. The guy gets up, he still has a
• 10:52
  broken arm and he's standing on the sidewalk.
• 10:55
  He. Doesn't let me go.
• 10:59
  I mean, what, You want us to kill you?
• 11:01
  No, no, no, I'm sorry. Just please don't kill any of me
• 11:05
  or any of my friends. Then go do they've they've
• 11:08
  asked. Me any more to let you go?
• 11:09
  Several times, yes, and. He runs away.
• 11:12
  There's a dead guy in your parking lot.
• 11:14
  Sorry. Oh fuck.
• 11:16
  Hey, Cork bitch. Hey, man.
• 11:25
  All right, so you have these packages.
• 11:26
  You're outside of here. Do you want to resolve anything
• 11:27
  with these NPCS or do you want to go?
• 11:29
  Janice looks at you through the through the window.
• 11:33
  Hey, the cowboy broke off Skylight.
• 11:37
  Are you going to pay for that? Are we dating now?
• 11:40
  I have so many questions. And then the sorry, it's already
• 11:46
  just run like this. But if we're faded, we will we
• 11:50
  will meet again. Sorry, I'm I've lost a lot of
• 11:54
  blood. I'm just going to go.
• 11:55
  That thing's like $800 to replace, man.
• 12:00
  Fuck. Sorry.
• 12:02
  She looks at you, Jeb. What?
• 12:05
  The fuck, dude? It.
• 12:10
  Sounded like I was choking but really I'm just joking on my
• 12:12
  words. Are you saying this is like you
• 12:16
  just put your hands up? I just I don't.
• 12:22
  Is this an audio medium? And then are you doing this as
• 12:26
  you get back in the van and drive away?
• 12:28
  Yeah, that's exactly right. You barrel into the van.
• 12:32
  Well, I've had just about enough of that place.
• 12:46
  It has been 13 years since the world nearly split in two.
• 12:51
  Those of us that knew of the cataclysm at the time have tried
• 12:54
  to move on. However, as the lines between
• 12:58
  worlds started to thin again, it was only ever a matter of time
• 13:02
  before something terrible started to pay attention.
• 13:06
  But who will stand at the gates for us?
• 13:09
  Why 4 employees at Thorne Investigations, of course.
• 13:12
  At least I can do for you know all that you do for me.
• 13:15
  My reflection looked. Back distorted.
• 13:19
  There's. Absolutely nothing normal.
• 13:21
  About this, this wasn't right from the start, so why don't you
• 13:24
  tell me the bits you're leaving out?
• 13:29
  The Thorn Files is a monster of the week actual play podcast,
• 13:32
  perfect for fans of mind bending mysteries and terrifying
• 13:36
  monsters. We have new episodes coming out

  every other Friday and you can find us on whatever podcasting
• 13:42
  app you use. Join us for our new season in
• 13:45
  January 2025, or if you'd like, go listen to our first season.
• 13:49
  Whatever the case, we'll be happy to have you.
• 13:52
  Just be ready to be scared. So should.
• 14:03
  We like look in these boxes, make sure these transponders are
• 14:06
  what we're looking for. And I don't know, I mean.
• 14:11
  That's not something I could tell you.
• 14:13
  I have no idea what we're looking for.
• 14:17
  Maybe we should get Domino. Friends, how are you?
• 14:20
  Did you get the friends formed us?
• 14:26
  We did, or at least I think we did.
• 14:30
  They should be in these boxes. Yeah, definitely went through
• 14:36
  some pain. I'm still, I'm still feeling a
• 14:40
  pretty, pretty bit fucked up. Yeah, the the whole crew kind of
• 14:45
  took a beating. Hey baby, do we have any like IV
• 14:49
  bags? I have one.
• 14:55
  Can I have it? Yeah, what do you need it for?
• 15:00
  Obviously I need some ringers. Ringers.
• 15:06
  Yeah, it's saline with electrolytes.
• 15:10
  Oh, oh, yeah, that's fine. That's I'll.
• 15:15
  I'll allow that. Cool.
• 15:17
  Great. 75 eddies. 75 eddies. I thought they already had one.
• 15:24
  Yeah, in the back. That costs money whenever they
• 15:25
  use it. Oh, don't do that then.
• 15:29
  It's only 75 eddies. No, no, no, don't do it.
• 15:32
  OK. Let me heal on my own.
• 15:38
  I think a day or two of rest could probably be worth
• 15:43
  everybody's physical and mental health.
• 15:48
  Oh, yeah, I, I, I mean, for me, I just need some time off.
• 15:54
  I need to relax. And open to make us all
• 15:57
  beverages. Oh, that sounds heavenly.
• 16:00
  As you say that a whiskey is put in front of you with whiskey
• 16:06
  stones in it that glow and change colour.
• 16:12
  Oh, oh, OK. All right.
• 16:15
  I call this the Jeb Special. Do you now?
• 16:20
  Yeah, because the the light changing rocks might be toxic.
• 16:23
  Get it? I wouldn't mind.
• 16:25
  No, you you wouldn't. Of course not, Phoebe.
• 16:31
  Here's a strawberry daiquiri. Oh hell yeah.
• 16:35
  Right, right. I made it the frozen kind with a
• 16:37
  little. Oh, that's cute.
• 16:40
  Iona, here is a glass of water I put in AUV bath for an hour.
• 16:45
  Thank you. You're very welcome.
• 16:48
  It's incredibly clean. You might as well be distilled
• 16:50
  water to be completely honest. Oh, I can taste.
• 16:54
  It well, that's the point. You basically can't taste
• 16:56
  anything. That's it's the most bland thing
• 16:58
  I can make. It's like an hour and a half
• 17:05
  retro. Here is a strawberry daiquiri
• 17:10
  because I know you don't like to be left out.
• 17:13
  Here is a glass of water, an electrolyte packet, and then
• 17:20
  your favorite. Weed.
• 17:22
  Served up. No, it's a beverage.
• 17:26
  You can't. I mean, you couldn't sniff the
• 17:28
  beverage. I guess I just I made you a gin
• 17:31
  thing. Gin.
• 17:33
  Do you not like gin? Did I get it wrong?
• 17:34
  Fuck. I hate gin, all right.
• 17:37
  I'll, I'll, I'll drink it. Picks it up, yeah.
• 17:42
  Well, that's right, you're. Fucking want to fight.
• 17:44
  Yeah, you're right. What do you want?
• 17:46
  I'll go and make it. Yeah, Tequila.
• 17:49
  You've got it. I'll go and I'll go and pour you
• 17:51
  with tequila and. Grabs the bottle from behind the
• 17:55
  bar, flips it on the back of their hand, takes the glass that
• 17:57
  had the gin and it swirls it round.
• 18:00
  Takes a shot of tequila themselves to clean the glass
• 18:02
  and then swirls you about 3 or 4 shots.
• 18:05
  Here you go. Grass is amigo.
• 18:08
  No worries. Here you go, Domino.
• 18:11
  Domino is past a beer in a can, which they open and start to
• 18:14
  drink. Who likes gin anyways?
• 18:21
  It's like drinking the what what?
• 18:25
  What used to be once the Pacific Northwest, right?
• 18:27
  Right. Yeah, well, while we rest
• 18:31
  tonight, Retro, we need you to make US3 satellite dishes out of
• 18:35
  scrap. You're making three satellite
• 18:43
  dishes. All right.
• 18:46
  You can use whatever you want, but if you do really well when
• 18:50
  you scan an area, you'll also find places.
• 18:52
  You'll also find some like caches of loot that the
• 18:55
  syndicate hidden, so that's your benefit to making a nice thing.
• 19:00
  Each of these satellite dishes cost you 100 scrap, so if you
• 19:05
  don't have enough, you're going to have to go and steal one. 100
• 19:09
  scrap. You should have enough for
• 19:14
  three. I have 255 scrap.
• 19:21
  And you have to find 45 scrap for the third satellite dish.
• 19:26
  That's not important right now. So your first one cost you 100
• 19:31
  scrap? Jeb's bike you.
• 19:32
  Rolled a. 28 Good question. It's it's in, it's in the
• 19:37
  garage. Wait, where's 99?
• 19:41
  You want to be useful. No, don't call him over here.
• 19:47
  I I think I could get 45 scrap out of nine.
• 19:52
  Oh wait, go ahead and call him up here.
• 19:54
  You you wrote, you will find at the maximum number of caches
• 19:59
  with the satellite dish whatever you attach it to.
• 20:01
  Do you want to make another one or wait?
• 20:03
  I'll make another one. Cool.
• 20:05
  Wait, it's one per right? So like, yeah, I can make 2 now.
• 20:08
  Yeah, you can make 2 now. Yes, again you rolled the Max
• 20:11
  and that means that this satellite dish will also reveal
• 20:15
  3 places of storage and caches that blunt the syndicate well.
• 20:21
  Fuck I only have 55% of scrap to make another one.
• 20:27
  Well, we can always tackle that as we do the other missions.
• 20:31
  It's time for bed. We've all got some healing to
• 20:34
  do. Oh, my flesh leg.
• 20:37
  Oh, did you have a premium? Yes, I landed on my flesh leg
• 20:40
  and it hurt. Good night.
• 20:46
  It's the next day now, you've all come in, you've all spent
• 20:49
  some time to heal. Ayona, how did you heal last
• 20:52
  night? Well, I've made myself some tea
• 20:58
  and I laid in a bath soaked in some Epsom salt.
• 21:04
  Excellent. All right, cool.
• 21:06
  I like that. Will you roll me personal
• 21:09
  grooming please? Yes.
• 21:11
  And I think what VV super glued me closed, right?
• 21:19
  Yes, yes, OK, nevermind. Yes.
• 21:22
  Yeah, but you by taking a bath you don't need to sanitize, so
• 21:25
  that's fine. 18, yeah, pretty good.
• 21:28
  You can heal 3D6. Yippee D6 I will.
• 21:35
  And you're old high enough and you are relaxed enough that now
• 21:38
  you do not walk with a cane today, which was one of the
• 21:40
  dangers you gained 7 health. Make sure you add it to your
• 21:45
  sheet. That puts me I have full health.
• 21:51
  Oh, you're at full health? Yay Andrew.
• 21:53
  It comes back into the mid morning of the bar, seeming
• 21:58
  fully refreshed. Did anyone else get hurt?
• 22:02
  Yeah, why am I seeing a head shake?
• 22:04
  No, I swear to God, I get forget all.
• 22:07
  I get forgotten all the time. Oh, I was more saying I didn't
• 22:13
  get hurt. No one else is hurt.
• 22:16
  I got hurt. Vendell got hurt a lot.
• 22:20
  I I got hurt PV. Doctor PV.
• 22:23
  Oh yes. I tried I tried to take a bath
• 22:27
  last night but I don't own 1 so. All right, Vendell, let me take
• 22:34
  a look, OK? Vendell, you don't have a
• 22:36
  bathtub. No, I'm an assistant.
• 22:39
  I have a shower, but filling it is really dangerous.
• 22:42
  Can I make a bathtub? I mean, you can mate.
• 22:45
  I guess I'm not going to do it now.
• 22:47
  I've got a doctor here. OK, with the extra, I'm going to
• 22:52
  use some scrap. I'm going to build a a hot tub,
• 22:58
  portable bathtub out of a really large plastic container.
• 23:08
  You know, like the one that people use for storage and
• 23:10
  stuff. Yeah, and one of those bubbling.
• 23:17
  So you're going to you're going to waste crap you need on the
• 23:19
  satellite dish on a bathtub. For the joke, yes.
• 23:23
  OK, that is 11 scrap all right. Oh, thanks Petro, for the
• 23:35
  bathtub, I guess. Anyway, VV.
• 23:39
  It's a therapy tub. Sure, VV, please hear me.
• 23:43
  Retro's insane. Yes, Vendel, let's take a look.
• 23:50
  I just, I got, I got hurt. And I.
• 23:54
  Fell on my leg like 3 times it was really embarrassing.
• 23:57
  My flashlight. Let me take a look at the leg.
• 24:00
  How bad does it look? Initiating medi scan scan scan
• 24:04
  scanning. Subject has multiple legions on
• 24:07
  their flesh leg. Must be embarrassing.
• 24:09
  They have lost a decent chunk of health and require attention.
• 24:13
  All right, let's fix you up here, Bendel.
• 24:18
  Paramedic 21, yes very good. 21 means they roll 3D6.
• 24:25
  Erase. OK, let's see.
• 24:30
  Nice. That's great.
• 24:32
  That's. Really good you you heal Vendel
• 24:34
  for 14 HP and they're they seem completely fine now.
• 24:40
  Oh, you didn't have to use the drugs.
• 24:42
  That's so nice. And I feel great.
• 24:44
  Oh yeah, glad to help. I'm glad you didn't get too
• 24:49
  damaged in your mission. Not anything that Doctor Vivi
• 24:55
  can't fix. Exactly.
• 24:58
  I'm very impressed. Give him doc.
• 25:01
  Was there much bloodshed at the UP and air slot?
• 25:06
  I thought it would be fairly simple.
• 25:07
  Oh. You know it never is 0.
• 25:14
  Shit. Yeah, it's all right.
• 25:19
  Well, your first target as far as my research goes, it's one of
• 25:25
  the taller buildings in the north of that city.
• 25:29
  OK. Right.
• 25:33
  Here, Vendel moves aside as Domino moves their hand out and
• 25:38
  touches the table, and a target appears in the northern part of
• 25:43
  the map, right over a little object that says Biotechnica.
• 25:50
  Been blown up. Biotechnica.
• 25:52
  Oh. No, no.
• 25:54
  One of the Transformers there. Oh, gotcha.
• 25:58
  These I owner's credentials. Getting into the building will
• 26:01
  be simple, you will just have to install it in office number 62
• 26:07
  on floor 62. Checks out, yeah.
• 26:11
  Says I appear, yeah. Office 62, Floor 62.
• 26:18
  Yes. Oh, that's really funny.
• 26:22
  Go on, Lindell. Is it funny?
• 26:25
  Oh. Yeah.
• 26:27
  Does someone tell a joke? No, no, office 62 on floor 62 is
• 26:32
  I own it's old office. Oh, it's.
• 26:34
  Not funny. Yeah.
• 26:38
  Well, I think if you work from home at Biotechnica, that's
• 26:41
  great. Well, yeah.
• 26:43
  Why do you think that I'm here all the time?
• 26:45
  Otherwise I'd be in the office that.
• 26:48
  Makes sense, I just thought, I don't know, you had a travelling
• 26:52
  job or something. So OK, that's funny.
• 26:56
  Or is that a strange coincidence?
• 26:59
  Or not a coincidence. Is there is there something
• 27:02
  special about that office that's.
• 27:04
  A great question. I I do not know.
• 27:07
  I do not work inside of Biotechnica and I have not put
• 27:10
  in the effort to research anything more about it than the
• 27:14
  optimal position or scanning. All right, I trust you.
• 27:19
  What? That actually reminds me of the
• 27:21
  joke. Why did the chicken cross the
• 27:24
  road? I don't know, I.
• 27:26
  Don't know why. To knock on the idiot's door.
• 27:29
  Oh, I don't, I don't. I don't get it.
• 27:31
  Knock, knock. Who's there?
• 27:35
  Thanks Retro, that was a good setup.
• 27:37
  Wait, I don't. I don't get it.
• 27:42
  Gosh, I don't get it. It's perfect.
• 27:44
  Yeah. You're the best among all of us.
• 27:49
  Oh. I just video I don't get it, can
• 27:52
  you explain it to me? The idiot's door is your door
• 27:56
  because I knock, not you're the dumb ass, that's why.
• 27:59
  That's funny. Oh.
• 28:03
  Jumps aside, I suggest you do your research and then head to
• 28:07
  the Biotechnical building. Please search on what the.
• 28:11
  Biotechnical Building. The biotechnical building that
• 28:15
  that Iona works at. Yeah, that's.
• 28:20
  Where the chicken went to. Well, I don't see just do the
• 28:23
  the. The researcher then just tells
• 28:26
  us what we need to know. I.
• 28:28
  Do not know that is up to where I am now.
• 28:30
  Well, what you need to know is that we'll probably have to
• 28:35
  sneak some of you in. I can Vendel and I can get in
• 28:38
  very easily. Obviously we work there, but.
• 28:42
  Haven't we done that before? Yeah, I mean, how many people do
• 28:45
  I need to install a transponder? Can Vandell and I just do it on
• 28:48
  our own? I, I, I I think retro will need
• 28:52
  to be there. Yes, you will need a tech there.
• 28:57
  Well, what if I bring in? I mean, kind of sounds like I'm
• 29:00
  just be a bit of a hindrance. Or, more likely, a distraction.
• 29:07
  Whoa. And it'll call me Dominator to
• 29:09
  fix that for nothing. You know, yeah, makes sense.
• 29:14
  Bollywood musical #2. So, friends, what's the plan?
• 29:24
  Well. I suppose we should make a plan,
• 29:28
  get some research, figure out how we want to do this.
• 29:33
  How big is this thing? Can, can, can you just like kind
• 29:36
  of put it in your pocket and get up there and put it in and get?
• 29:39
  Out. No.
• 29:39
  It's about the size of a locker. No, it can fit inside of a
• 29:42
  locker. It's about the size of being
• 29:44
  able to fit into a locker. Yes, it's it can fit inside of a
• 29:48
  large duffel bag, but the satellite dish has to be mounted
• 29:51
  on the outside of the building. OK.
• 29:54
  Oh boy. Do you want to chop the up?
• 29:58
  I mean, that sounds like the best thing is, you know, maybe
• 30:01
  maybe we could chopper it up and then one, you know, part of us
• 30:06
  1/2 of the the team dish, you know, installs the dish and then
• 30:13
  team other part, sorry, I'm not technical about these things.
• 30:18
  Team other part goes in and installs the other part wherever
• 30:21
  it needs installing. OK.
• 30:24
  Perfect. I mean, isn't a helicopter?
• 30:26
  Like don't they have windows? Isn't a helicopter going to be
• 30:29
  really obvious? Couldn't you like, pretend to be
• 30:30
  a window cleaner or something? Oh, can't we just be like, hey,
• 30:34
  Biotechnica, this is Iona and I got a helicopter.
• 30:38
  I want to park on your ceiling. Actually not.
• 30:42
  Not that we do have a We do have a heavy pad on top.
• 30:48
  Well. If we all if we helipadded to
• 30:50
  the top then we could send a bunch of people down in the
• 30:52
  window thing and the rest of us could be a distraction.
• 30:56
  Perfect. OK, OK, I like this.
• 30:59
  I like this. Wait.
• 31:01
  Are you are you guys using my plan?
• 31:03
  We might be. We've adopted your your plan.
• 31:08
  Oh, that's a family now. We will have to borrow the
• 31:11
  helicopter from Tuna. You're paying.
• 31:14
  I mean, if it's my plan, I feel like I am kind of monetarily on
• 31:18
  the hook. You are responsible for it.
• 31:22
  This is your. This is your baby.
• 31:23
  This is your child. Does that mean that I'm kind of
• 31:27
  the the captain of this mission? You would be the parent, yeah.
• 31:32
  Oh well. It's apparent to all of us.
• 31:36
  I've never LED a mission before. But I I don't.
• 31:42
  Think you guys. I.
• 31:44
  Don't. I don't think that's true.
• 31:46
  Oh Oh, my mistake. I think you've LED missions
• 31:52
  before, haven't you? Like when you did that race to
• 31:54
  save Joy's? Life, I remember that.
• 31:56
  That was mostly just me, like racing, you know, and I felt
• 32:00
  like the plan and, and all the, you know, intricacies and, and,
• 32:04
  and the leading of it was kind of left.
• 32:09
  Maybe that was more democratic, but you know, I I figure, I
• 32:15
  figure for this one, if, if y'all have me, I will happily be
• 32:18
  the leader of this one. Didn't we also like take over
• 32:23
  your old nomad family's like? Ranch.
• 32:29
  But yeah, you you ran that one. Again, I felt like that was more
• 32:33
  democratic in a sense. You know, there wasn't kind of
• 32:35
  like a leader. Land the like you were in charge
• 32:40
  of landing the the the the the rest of the spaceship when we
• 32:44
  came back from space. You've done a lot, Jeb.
• 32:47
  I think you should give yourself more credit.
• 32:49
  Why do I Why? Why am I remembering something
• 32:51
  about a train? So many things, Jeb.
• 32:55
  Wow, I guess I am useful. But if we're going to borrow the
• 33:01
  helicopter, we probably should cortuna.
• 33:04
  No. No doubt all.
• 33:06
  Right. Do you Cortina?
• 33:10
  There was that time with the alligator too.
• 33:11
  The table begins to ring. You put it on the speaker and
• 33:15
  tuna ounces. Oh, wait.
• 33:18
  Wait. Hey, tuna, just so you know,
• 33:21
  you're on speaker. Oh, hey again.
• 33:25
  Hi, Tuna. Hey, I'm just going to do a rap
• 33:27
  to the chase. You know, I'm kind of leading
• 33:29
  this this mission here and we're going to need your chopper.
• 33:35
  Oh yeah, no worries, 150 a day and if you fuck it up I'll make
• 33:38
  you pay for. It all right, Well, you know,
• 33:40
  send over the paperwork. I'll get it signed.
• 33:42
  We'll just send it right back to you and hang up.
• 33:46
  OK, well, you know that. Was easy.
• 33:50
  That was easy. All right, well, I say we just
• 33:56
  go ahead and hop into Van and White right now.
• 33:59
  We know while everything's kind of fresh and we're all jazzed
• 34:02
  about this. Oh, just hopping Vanderwy.
• 34:05
  We'll head over to Tunas, hopping the chapter and Bob's
• 34:09
  your uncle. We're landing on the top of
• 34:12
  Biotechnica. Wait, your uncle's name is Bob?
• 34:16
  Yeah. Like Uncle Bob.
• 34:18
  Yeah. What's the Bob stand for?
• 34:21
  That that's his. That's his name.
• 34:23
  Yeah, what does it stand for? Well, I suppose I I don't know
• 34:27
  what my mom never. Told me but shortened version of
• 34:30
  a name. I imagine it's either, you know,
• 34:32
  probably Robert, maybe. Bobbert.
• 34:37
  But maybe. Bob.
• 34:39
  Lemieux. You're, you're having this, this
• 34:41
  awkward conversation as you move over to Vanna White and get in
• 34:45
  the elevator and head out towards Tunas.
• 34:48
  You head to Tunas and Tunas standing outside the front with
• 34:51
  keys. Right lads.
• 34:53
  Oh, I've already sent over the the initial down payment.
• 34:57
  Don't worry, you know, you know I'm good.
• 35:01
  I'm good for it Tuna. So any Dings or scratches, I'll
• 35:05
  just buff those right out and anything major, well, I'm on the
• 35:09
  hook. That's because that's what a
• 35:11
  good leader does, takes responsibility for any issues
• 35:14
  that may arise on their watch all.
• 35:17
  Right. Who's flying?
• 35:20
  Iona. I I thought that you were the
• 35:24
  jab. Master Well, I feel like last
• 35:26
  time I, you're, I'm, I'm just going to go ahead.
• 35:28
  I'm waiting. So I'm glad.
• 35:31
  Yeah, he he tosses you the keys. Good luck, Jeb.
• 35:34
  Catch it do. You want me to look after Vanna
• 35:37
  White while you're gone? Oh yeah, that'd be great.
• 35:39
  Appreciate that drop. Me the keys.
• 35:42
  Oh yeah. Switch rule.
• 35:44
  Well, I'm there. All right, everyone get in.
• 35:48
  Let's get in. Actually, if Bernie just comes
• 35:49
  to me, do you want me to make a copy of this key in case you
• 35:52
  need me to help? Nah.
• 35:56
  All right if you go. Next time on no latency.
• 36:21
  Smells like Napo. Man, look where you're going.
• 36:25
  Fucking cops. Yes, I'll, I'll, I'll call into
• 36:28
  the radio tower. Right now, go team.
• 36:30
  Jeff, you're doing a really good job being the leader.
• 36:32
  Hey, thanks, Retro. Appreciate that.
• 36:34
  We belong here. Did.
• 36:35
  It come with IKEA instructions. I don't think it's a plug and
• 36:38
  play have. Fun.
• 36:39
  Remember y'all belong here. I literally work here.
• 36:42
  Well, we got any screensheets because the only way to make
• 36:44
  sure you don't leave streaks is you got to use newspaper.
• 36:46
  Fresh if you get this in the next, I don't know, 30 seconds,
• 36:50
  could you? I mean, it could have been
• 36:51
  worse. It's not great.
• 36:53
  If you delete the camera, you get the weed.
• 36:56
  And where are we? Going to be during all this.
• 36:59
  I'd like the plan that you came up with.
• 37:01
  I think that you should follow through.
• 37:02
  Well, you got a low roll to get high at some point.
• 37:04
  Like a common occurrence. Because it's the better product.
• 37:08
  OK, that should work then, because.
• 37:10
