Last time on no latency. Well, you know, it's just kind
0:05
of like we created laugh. And Vivi, you did a wonderful.
0:08
Job. Oh shit.
0:08
Smelly and dirty it. Is it really?
0:12
Is what's your temperature reading?
0:13
Oh no, he's hot. This is serious.
0:16
I'm. I'm totally taking a serious
0:17
look, see. When do we think domino Were we
0:20
up and running? Domino's hitting on Vivi.
0:23
Oh, I forgot that you had. That from there were one of
0:25
them. Well, you weren't supposed to
0:27
hear that. Not a.
0:27
Big deal, I can do that too. You know how much I like
0:30
missions? Oh, another one of them.
0:32
Not again. Oh, Oh no.
0:33
How are you with the Dewey Decimal System?
0:35
OK. So we need to find the
0:36
prototype. Oh, although the cap's still on.
0:38
Oh, what do I do? What's up with the vending
0:40
machine? What do I do?
0:41
I don't get out of my chair for at least three.
0:43
Joy, joy. Sure, Domino.
0:45
Negotiation. How much?
0:46
2005 is what you value me. That's cool, I get it.
1:01
I don't know why you're making such a big deal about this,
1:03
Remy. Well, not all of us have a
1:06
silver spoon, Iona. Oh.
1:10
Are you really struggling that that bad at this moment?
1:16
Doesn't matter. You don't know.
1:17
You don't know about my struggles.
1:19
That's why I'm asking. Why is it, why only is it when,
1:24
when, when you see me trying to make try to make up some, some
1:27
scrap is when you, you're asking me about my troubles?
1:30
Why can't you just ask me about my troubles when we're not in
1:32
that kind of thing, Huh. You know, I'm starting to feel a
1:35
little, you know. Forgotten, right?
1:37
Attacked. Yes, well, sorry.
1:42
No, not even attacked. I'm sorry.
1:43
I feel forgotten. I feel alone.
1:46
I feel left out in the rain while everyone else gets to sit
1:49
inside and, you know, enjoy warm beer and hot chocolate.
1:56
Warm beer and hot. Chocolate.
1:59
Iota iota I I now understand what you said about retro as
2:03
well. Good.
2:04
Yes, a lot of this makes sense. Don't surprise me.
2:08
Talk behind my back? That's fine.
2:13
Corporals are known for doing that.
2:15
Shall we get in the van? Yes, that was good.
2:19
Let's. You all get in the van.
2:26
Oh wow, this is so novel. Yeah, you, you all have control
2:35
over the token of Vanna White. Yes.
2:38
Isn't that fun? Wait.
2:40
Hold on. Near.
2:43
Near. I made you a new Vanna white
2:47
token. It's really good.
2:50
Domino goes towards the car and heads towards the back of the
2:54
van. Does anyone tell them to sit
2:57
anywhere else Get. Yourself comfortable there?
3:02
Domino gets to the back and you'll get in the back and Jeb,
3:05
you pull out of the alleyway and into the street.
3:10
Who's riding shotgun with Jeb? Someone has to tell them where
3:13
to go. Got it.
3:18
Domino. Domino, Have you ridden in the
3:20
car yet? No.
3:23
I've not. Stepped out.
3:27
Well, there you are, shotgun. And Domino climbs through the
3:32
vehicle, uncomfortably pushing past everyone except they, and
3:36
then slips into the front seat next to you.
3:39
Jeb. His two arms slip behind the
3:42
seat and grab onto the back. Where we're going, we will need
3:52
seatbelts. No, we definitely need
3:55
seatbelts. Don't trust them.
3:57
Wear your damn seat belt. That is normally best practice,
4:01
just I was doing a little thing, yeah.
4:04
He's right. Head to South of Night City,
4:07
near the edge of the combat. Sorry, gas station number 69.
4:13
Nice, I do that. 23 Yeah, you make great time.
4:25
You head through Knight City, passing S out of Little Europe,
4:31
through the Glen, taking a shortcut around the University
4:35
District and into S Knight City, driving a few blocks past
4:40
Sawtooth's place, and you drive up to gas station number 69.
4:47
All right, Well, we're here. Do we go in?
4:55
I guess so. Does this person sitting on the
5:00
park bench, are they awake or are they?
5:03
Asleep or are. They all human perception.
5:07
Sure. Is that is that the gas
5:09
attendant or are we allowed to pump our own gas in that city or
5:12
is there an attendant that has to do that?
5:14
Role perception to look for signs.
5:18
We wouldn't already know that. Retro asked.
5:23
So I'm he can find out. Where is I?
5:26
Don't know that I don't have a car.
5:28
No, no, I found. It that's true, no.
5:31
Big public transit category. Iona jumps out the side of Vanna
5:35
White as Jeb is turning the vehicle around.
5:40
He drives past you as you walk past this guy who's just asleep
5:44
on a bench. You're older, 14 in human
5:48
perception, and he looks a little cold because it is now
5:52
raining. Like like.
5:58
If if. You got 14.
6:02
I apologize, I thought you rolled lower than that.
6:04
As you get closer to him, you can see that he very slyly opens
6:07
one of his eyes to watch Here. Oh.
6:11
Never mind, I'm going to wait in front of the gas station because
6:14
I thought everyone was getting out of the car when we slowed to
6:17
pass, but I guess not. Did you just take some?
6:21
Never mind. Jeb, what Bay do you drive into?
6:23
Let's. See which side is my gas tank
6:28
on? Or you know, yes, if.
6:32
You look at the indicator. Well, if it's a German car, it's
6:38
usually on the passenger side, so I'm going to go ahead and
6:46
pull into Bay #3. Cool.
6:50
All right. Everybody gets out and Domino
6:53
steps out into the rain. This gas station is not covered.
6:58
You, however, are pumping gas. You go to Pump Gas Retro, you're
7:06
looking around and you see that there is a rewards program, but
7:09
if you give them your garden ID, you can get a few cents off the
7:13
fuel. Scam.
7:16
It is advertised on every one of these.
7:18
You also see a few vending machines around here.
7:20
You can check those and inside there are a few shelves for
7:23
stuff too. And a guy sitting in a glass
7:25
box. BB recognize the guy in the.
7:29
Glass. Box.
7:30
Yeah, through the front door of the gas station, there was a guy
7:34
standing in a glass box. Who is he?
7:38
You recognize him. Yes, guys, I think I know that
7:42
guy. I know that guy.
7:44
Shit, this guy. Oh my God.
7:46
I was here like a week or two ago and this guy basically tried
7:52
to threaten and blackmail me and a couple of people I was with.
7:59
What a Dick. So he's shady as hell so don't
8:03
trust him. Now trust him either.
8:05
Oh, really? Well, you trust him.
8:08
I know I know him as well as I know Adam.
8:11
Well, you, you know him. I mean, your friend just told
8:15
you that he was a piece of shit. Yeah, he tried to extort me.
8:19
You know what? I'm not going to fly.
8:21
That's not cool. There ain't going to fly are.
8:23
You just leaving? Are you leaving the?
8:25
Are you leaving the pump in the van to just filter the top?
8:28
Yeah, I'm just, you know, it's, it's on auto.
8:30
Cool, we. Should throw them in a.
8:33
Yeah, Jeff, you get in there and you tell them only we're allowed
8:35
to extort BB. Yeah.
8:37
Wait, what? Hey.
8:42
Yeah, you. I'm talking to you behind the
8:44
glass. Yeah.
8:45
You recognize her at that point, Phoebe.
8:49
I I start thinking of this. All right, VV roll Stealth I'm.
8:56
Like oh shit, hey yes 1 moment. Sorry, I'd have to reopen my
9:02
character sheet. 19 yes, you managed to hide.
9:14
You scooch out of the way and he looks out back and stares at
9:17
Iona. No.
9:21
Yeah. Wait, really?
9:23
How often do you extort people? What do you mean?
9:28
Are you aware of the concept of extortion, you guys?
9:31
Want to buy something? You're pumped.
9:37
It's done. One second he says he doesn't
9:40
recognize you. I don't think he's he kind of
9:42
seemed like he'd never. No, it's definitely him.
9:44
Don't even just don't tell him who I am.
9:46
Just just. Punch him in the face or
9:47
something, or shove him in a toilet in a porta potty.
9:51
Oh God, walk over, back over so you don't store.
9:59
My friend says that you extorted her and I can't let that fly.
10:07
OK, I guess. He's paying a little bit too
10:11
much attention to the computer and he looks at your gas price
10:13
and he keeps darting his eyes back to it as he like, keeps
10:16
tapping away. Yeah.
10:18
Your gas is like 106. No, it's not.
10:21
And this is extortion. You see, I'm going to tell you I
10:25
have two dice. It's a. 106.
10:27
No, no, because, because hear me out because you are going to let
10:33
us just drive out of here or else I'm going to put you in the
10:37
toilet. I.
10:37
Can't give you free gas. There are there are like there
10:39
are cameras some cameras. I mean, sometimes they work,

It's also bulletproof, so. When you pay your bill.
11:12
Sorry, Jeff. I.
11:15
Don't really know what to do here.
11:17
Well. Does anyone else want to roll
11:19
any checks on this guy? Oh, I mean, just got it taken
11:23
completely control. I haven't been paying attention
11:25
to them. I've been looking at both of
11:26
these vetting machines because that's what we're here for.
11:29
And so I'm trying to find the one that we're looking for.
11:32
Did you? Roll perception.
11:33
You did roll perception 19. It is neither of those is
11:36
neither. The ones out here.
11:38
You do spy that there are some vending machines inside the gas
11:41
station. Where Jeb's at?
11:43
Yep, there's two from where you can see I.
11:46
Think OK, well I guess I'm going to go inside.
11:50
Dinner done. Dinner done.
11:53
Excuse me, Sir. Pardon me.
11:56
I have Dusty Render. Do you check any of these
12:00
vending machines for items? Of course, yeah.
12:03
Oh well, that's good. Romy Romy 2D6 that.
12:10
Was a three and a 4D, yeah. Yep, that works for me.
12:14
You discover those items? Oh cool.
12:19
Shit. There's always some pretty sweet
12:22
shades. VV you can't see this, You're
12:25
outside. That's hilarious.
12:28
VV with her binoculars looking into.
12:30
Oh, it's been incendiary with a lower case.
12:32
I That's funny. Yeah.
12:35
You see that there are a few items in the vending machines,
12:37
and this is what they're selling.
12:38
None of these vending machines are the right vending machine.
12:41
Do you want to roll anything else in this room or buy any of
12:44
those items? Well, yeah, I'm going to get two
12:46
of the incendiary grenades or granades and and and we've had a
12:52
cool chance. I'm a dyslexic human, thank you
12:59
for mocking me. Excuse me, Excuse me, Let's not
13:02
make fun of the brand name. Granades are a great brand.
13:08
I'm sorry, Granada. Start with a lower case I for
13:13
Incendiary 2. I.
13:15
Did a really good job with that one.
13:16
That was good, right? So you you put 202 hundred
13:21
eddies into these machines and you buy these two, You buy two
13:25
or three. I bought 2 and then I bought the
13:27
cool shades. Cool right?
13:29
205 eddies is deducted from your account.
13:31
You get 2 incendiary grenades and some cool shades.
13:34
Do you want to roll humor perception on this guy in here?
13:37
I mean, I might as well. Why not?
13:39
Can't do any worse than job, right?
13:42
Nice. 19 You can see that he is doing something to his computer
13:50
and looking at it a lot, and in his conversation with Jeb, you
13:54
hear him say. Camera, cameras, I've got them.
13:57
So you have to pay because we're watching you.
14:00
He seems nervous whenever he says the word camera.
14:02
Like, pretty nervous. Like, pretty nervous.
14:08
Cameras, show me the what? Do you mean?
14:11
Where are they? You know they watch stuff.
14:14
Sometimes they don't work for reasons that are nothing.
14:16
Oh God. Put to do with me like it burps
14:19
when I'm really nervous. I'm not nervous though.
14:21
That's just because I was drinking on the not I was having
14:26
issues putting words together and it made me nervous.
14:29
It's not a big deal. I mean if your camera is not
14:33
working, I can get that fixed for.
14:34
You real quick I. Mean, you know, sometimes it'll
14:36
work. That's why I'm tapping here.
14:37
You know, I'm not, I'm not. I wouldn't be like constantly
14:40
refreshing the camera so it doesn't record onto the tapes.
14:43
That would be bad because then because then parts of like the
14:45
area wouldn't be wouldn't be watched.
14:47
You know, No, it's just it's just a term.
14:49
That's what the file type is dot tape.
14:51
It's. Going to say why the fuck is
14:53
everyone getting all analog in this bitch?
14:55
It's not analog, it's a file type.
14:57
Tape so then. Capital A, that's definitely a
15:01
thing. It's definitely a thing.
15:02
I'm not making it up right now. That's.
15:04
No camera over here. Wait in this room.
15:06
Yeah, yeah, there's there's that's stuff only though back
15:09
there. So if you don't mind, there's
15:11
there's nothing there's, there's, there's no, there's
15:13
nothing in there. You.
15:14
Have to worry about that, you could see that.
15:15
From the outside, anyway. Well, maybe the issue is in
15:18
there. I I can go take a look.
15:19
Let's see. If there's any.
15:20
If you were my excuse in here, just not, Sir.
15:23
If you could, Sir. Sir, if you could, just not.
15:27
I don't I don't see any cameras in here.
15:29
No, there, there's no cameras in that room.
15:30
That's, that's, that's, that's the private back area.
15:32
If you wouldn't mind, Sir. Meanwhile, I would like.
15:36
To Is this a window or an actual door?
15:38
That is a window. There is a door to the north.
15:40
I'm going to open the window. OK I want to see if I can like
15:45
unlock the the glass door so I can get them.
15:49
All right, you you head towards the door and start to try and
15:53
unlock it retro as you step out of the window.
15:58
Which way do you look north-south or east?
16:02
I'm. Probably looking E because I'm
16:06
you know, that's which way I'm going.
16:11
Is that northeast or southeast? No, just straight east, OK, just
16:14
looking directly at Vanna White because it's right in my right,
16:16
in my face. Yeast do you do you go?
16:20
Which way do you go around Vanna White?
16:23
I'm going to go north. I'm going to see if there's any
16:25
other more of these cameras, because if there's a way I can
16:27
try to fuck with the sky, I'm going to do that.
16:30
You. Head you head north and you pass
16:33
by a little light fixture and you can see the camera that is
16:36
facing northeast is blinking red, which means it is currently
16:41
resetting. Hey.
16:43
Hey, Jeff. I'm going to call Jeb on the
16:44
cop. Hey, Jeff.
16:45
Hold on, I'm doing a thing. Jeff, you break the you break
16:49
the piece of metal you were using, and now you can't walk
16:52
pick without another tool. Shit.
16:55
That's not enough. Heads up, looking at the camera,
16:59
it looks like the cameras are resetting.
17:01
They're not actually filming shit right now.
17:04
You don't say the guy is still behind the glass, right?
17:09
Hey, can you, where did that guy go?
17:12
Can you not play with the door? You said this was bulletproof,
17:17
yes. Do you know if it's?
17:20
Critique. Grenade proof and I drop it in a
17:23
row. You just drop it in the roof in
17:25
the gas station. You're dropping a grenade inside
17:27
of a gas station, Jeff. Inside, no, I imagine this is
17:31
not like next to the pole. Wait a minute, it's inside the
17:35
gas station. I want to fuel that.
17:37
Right, right. Fair enough.
17:38
OK, Jeb, roll to run out of this room.
17:41
Great. Fuck.
17:42
Not again. You've got to be fucking.
17:45
I guess this is demolition. No, no, this is you avoiding an
17:48
explosion. Oh, OK, great.
17:50
Love that. Yeah.
17:52
Athletics. Oh, it was a 17.
17:55
There is an explosion behind you inside of this small gas
18:00
station. You fly through the front
18:03
window. Glass smashes everywhere.
18:05
You glide across the floor in front of Domino and there's a
18:09
flaming hole on the ground. But the glass box this guy is in
18:15
is fine. It does.
18:19
You do ruin a few cabinets and you like, scorch the ground and
18:23
you see him sort of hold his head.
18:25
Dude what? The.
18:29
So, you know, I'm like, I like. Peek.
18:31
I raise my head over the little counter to see how it went.
18:36
And this little smoldering thing that is in front of you.
18:40
Domino turns to Iona. So he really is always like
18:44
this. I wasn't kidding.
18:47
Oh man, not even like a crack or nothing man.
18:51
You've ruined about 3 different cabinets in it.
18:54
Rogers is going to peek around the corner and Mama do himself.
18:58
Jeff popped his top again. I just retro as you step out
19:03
that way. Real perception for me.
19:05
I was trying to do my friend good, you know?
19:08
I can't, I can't let people walk over my friends like that.
19:11
But no, there's a bulletproof glass cage that they're in.
19:16
Can't leave them. Stuff them into the toilet like
19:18
she wanted me to. You.
19:19
Gotta get them out of the cage first to do that.
19:22
I was trying. Retro You see two heavily bogged
19:29
up dudes loading a vending machine into the back of a big
19:32
beige truck. They have finished doing so
19:35
because you've been here a while and they start to get in their
19:38
vehicle and drive away. Oh, shit.
19:41
Hey, hey, hey, hold up, hold up. I'm.
19:42
I'm going to try to weigh them down.
19:43
Whoa. Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.
19:47
Whoa, whoa, hey. Hey, they're driving away.
19:50
I hear you. The rain is pretty heavy, so to
19:52
hear you, you will have to roll something.
19:55
OK, I. Roll.
20:00
Rocket on my K tech camera. 19 all right, all right, yeah,
20:06
that's still not enough to disable the vehicle.
20:09
You fill the oh, shit, you fired a rocket.
20:14
This thing. Oh, that's what that is. 23
20:20
still are not enough to disable this vehicle.
20:23
Damn. Because it the truck has 50
20:26
health, so you didn't get it under half health, but you did
20:28
fuck up the back door. And as the back door opens, you
20:32
can see the same vending machine you've been looking for.
20:35
But Blue and Domino sees it from across the gas station and says
20:41
that's the wall, and it drives off down the street.
20:45
Can I jump and try to get in? Yes.
20:49
OK, let's let's see if Retro can actually be Dexter's.
20:57
Can Retro actually pull something off?
21:05
16 All right, I'm going to I'm going to tell you what I'll tell
21:08
you what I'll tell you what that is.
21:11
That is, it is a difficult task to jump onto a vehicle that has
21:13
been slowed down slightly by having someone fire a rocket at
21:16
it. You have fucked up the back of
21:18
this truck, but they tied the vending machine down in the
21:21
back. Now.
21:23
This means that you jump onto the back of the truck and it
21:27
continues driving down the street.
21:30
It's heading towards the combat zone and the rest of you are
21:33
standing at the gas station, watching Retro slowly get
21:37
smaller and smaller as he heads N Northwest.
21:50
Where's he going? Retro I get.
21:56
We'll see you later. I guess did he, did he tell us
22:00
where he was going? I think the idea of everyone is
22:04
that we have to follow. Or or he's walking dramatically
22:09
into the sunset because we'll never see him again.
22:13
Jeff, he's in the back of the van with the vending machine.
22:15
Now we should probably follow. Seriously, Iona, Is he always
22:19
like this? He does have his moments, but
22:25
he's all right. OK, that's all great, but we
22:30
should really go and get retro. Night City.
22:45
If you look at a map of North America, somewhere on the
22:47
western edge you'd see an inky black dot with fingers pressing
22:51
into the side of the continent. That's where you find Night
22:53
City. And somewhere in the middle of
22:55
that inky black dot is a giant smoking hole.
22:59
The universe itself drew iron and shot straight through the
23:01
city. Radiation turned the sky red.
23:05
But our story starts a little further South, in a dive bar the
23:09
shortstop. Welcome to Night City and
23:13
welcome to Cyberpunk Edge of Extinction.
23:17
Infinite sided. Dice presents Cyberpunk Edge of
23:20
Extinction, a Cyberpunk Red actual play.
23:22
Watch now at youtube.com slash at Infinite Sided dice catch you
23:28
later tunes. It's this new party trick that I
23:49
can do with my body. I can make noises with my mouth.
23:52
Check it out. Oh, it's impressive.
23:57
And do another. How about?
24:01
I. We'll have to work on that one
24:11
we should be chasing. Remy right now, I mean.
24:15
Listen, I'm putting the pedal to the metal on this bad boy well.
24:19
What else can? We do go on, Diana, no.
24:25
I I, dear God in the sky, I go ahead.
24:32
Through the front windscreen of Vanna white, which is severely
24:35
broken and some of the the wind and rain is coming through
24:40
towards the passions aside, and Domino is getting slowly and
24:44
wetter. However, with all their cyber
24:47
was all right, Jesus Christ, Jed, but with all their
24:56
cyberwear, it doesn't really affect them that much.
25:00
Jeb, you're chasing down this truck with a vending machine in
25:03
the back and Retro standing there staring at you as you
25:07
careen through the combat zone. What do you do, Jeb?
25:14
Well, I'm going to. Try to get up to on the side of
25:18
them and lay on. But all the while.
25:20
Also, I'm going to give Retro a call because we need to know
25:23
what the Hell's going on Retro while.
25:25
In the back of this van, you, you, you don't have access to
25:28
the front car because it's a big box van and you're just standing
25:32
in the back with this vending machine going pretty fast.
25:35
You're going about 45 to 60 miles an hour.
25:40
OK, what else do I notice? Anything else in the in the in
25:47
the van if there's any like? Moving.
25:50
Platforms. Anything like that?
25:52
Roll perception. There's not a lot in here.
25:58
On roll 20. Yes, he is.
26:02
You're just holding that. Down I am very fun and cool.
26:08
Oh man, I. Took that blue glass, all I see
26:10
is colors retro. As you're looking around, you
26:12
don't see much. There's the little pocket wrench
26:16
they used to strap the straps down extra tight that's been put
26:22
in this little holder in the wall.
26:23
There's also a hammer in there and a chisel, but that's it.
26:27
There's not a lot in here other than the vending machine itself,
26:29
which you want in time. You're so literal.
26:31
Make sure that nothing happens to the vending machine.
26:36
So I have an idea, but I'm nervous to do it because I don't
26:43
want to ruin the DM's plans. Well, that's.
26:48
The way we have to. Place.
26:50
I was going to say. I mean, I guess I'll.
26:55
I can try with the box van. I can pretty much assume where
27:01
the driver and the passenger seat are like up against the
27:07
back of that part of the box van, right?
27:09
Yes. Cool.
27:12
Assuming from where their head's at, I'm going to disconnect the
27:17
piston inside my robotic arm for the the hand.
27:23
So it's just, it's no longer going to fire the hand out, it's
27:26
just going to shoot the piston, which is a good like 2 feet
27:29
long. Cool.
27:32
And I'm going to use my mathematical skills to try to
27:37
like figure where the driver's at, all right?
27:42
If you want to add a skill to this, it takes four times as
27:45
long, so it takes you. You're like looking at the back
27:48
of the van and we're taking a few minutes to work this out.
27:51
While you've been working this out, Jeb has been calling you
27:53
and asking you what's going on. You find a really good spot and
27:57
this gives you plus one to this next thing that you're trying to
28:00
do. But it does mean that in this
28:02
time, Jeb gets to talk to you and roll a driving Jack, right?
28:10
Hey, Jeb. Hey, quick question.
28:12
Do you use? For question head match
28:15
question, what the Hell's the plan?
28:17
So you kind of just get it on out of there.
28:21
Do they even? Know you're in the car.
28:23
I don't. Think so, but here I'm just
28:27
calculating so I use Pythagorean serum on this part of the box to
28:32
where the Yep, sitting in the van.
28:35
How high do you think you're off the ground?
28:37
Oh. I mean, I'm on the wheel well,
28:40
so gosh, maybe 4 feet off the ground. 4 feet.
28:46
And you're about 62, just six. One OK.
28:52
I think you're about the same height as the.
28:58
Son of a bitch of. Driving this Jeb.
29:01
Talking of driving. This you rolled a 25, you are on
29:04
a straightaway using your sexy white roll tires, so you get
29:07
plus one to this roll, making it a full 26.
29:13
You come up right beside the van, assuming that's where you
29:16
want to be. Yeah, cool.
29:18
You're now beside the van. You no longer have an eye on
29:21
Retro. He is in the back doing the
29:23
thing he is telling you over the radio.
29:25
Do you do anything else? Well, Retro, do you want me on
29:29
the sides or behind? I mean, I suppose what I could
29:32
do is I could be right behind it so you could open up the back of
29:36
the truck and then, you know, maybe I could do like a Jeb the
29:40
back of the. Truck got blown off.
29:42
So. Was a wide open Yeah, that's why
29:44
we could. See him?
29:45
Oh. I.
29:46
Thought I could see him do that. God, reverse, retract, let's try
29:51
that again. Strike that.
29:52
Reverse that. Reverse it.
29:57
Well, you know what? You know what I think you know,
30:00
if if I could just maybe just do a cool 180 flip and then shift
30:07
this thing into reverse. Maybe I could open up the back
30:09
event a wide and then you could just kind of push the vending
30:15
machine into Vanuat. What do you think about that?
30:20
It's going to be risky difficulty.
30:22
I was just. About to kill the driver.
30:27
Oh, well, that would be a lot easier.
30:29
Yeah, go ahead. Go ahead.
30:31
I'll be here if you need. Be ready for some craziness.
30:34
Make sure they don't run you off the road.
30:38
I'm ready. I'm going to place my palm of my
30:44
robotic arm right to the spot where I believe the thief's head
30:50
would be. That's driving, right?
30:53
And I'm. Going to engage the piston.
30:57
So if you've ever seen the movie No Country for Old Men, Oh yeah.
31:03
And Javier? Bardim had the cow stunner.
31:06
Oh yeah. Imagine that to the.
31:08
Back of the head, not really a. Stunner More of a cow?
31:13
What is it called? The euthanasia device?
31:15
Yes, it is. Exactly that.
31:17
Roll for it. Wait and.
31:21
We wait. That is a crit 35 retro.
31:29
You what? Crit. 36 My God, you.
31:33
Put your hand. On the back of this wall you
31:37
shunt this piston and you feel it split and you hear something
31:42
full. Jeb.
31:44
Looking through the side of this vehicle you see a large metal
31:48
pole come bursting through this guy's neck.
31:51
His head detaches from his body and flies out the window.
31:57
The passenger in this vehicle looks at him and says and grabs
32:03
the steering wheel and the vehicle starts to careen towards
32:06
you while the driving check. Wow, wow, wow.
32:10
Why are we drifting? Oh, hold on, hold on.
32:13
You you avoid. The drift retro roll athletics
32:18
because you might fall over. You are not held down well, my
32:21
hands. Tend to the wall.
32:23
Doesn't mean you're stable. This body is a rock 17.
32:30
Yes, you managed to keep your footing.
32:34
You can choose to retract the pole.
32:37
But now, Jeb, you're now staring at Retro in the back with his
32:40
hand stuck on the back wall. He's looking at me.
32:43
Yeah, retro is half like not doing a full split but like put
32:47
their feet up against the side of the one wall and the other
32:50
against the the vending machine so that way they could keep
32:54
their balance. Hold on.
32:57
Oh. Fucking pissed, stuck on
33:00
something. It won't.
33:02
It won't just pull back. I'm just going to have the
33:05
seaside pulling it back and forth.
33:07
Every time I'm pulling it back and forth you hear more pull up
33:09
guys. Yes, phrase the.
33:12
Entire inside of the cabin is completely covered in blood.
33:16
You can't see out the windows anymore.
33:19
All right, well, your. Stuff's messed with right now,
33:24
so I need you to roll something else.
33:27
Did you get the blood in you? Do I pull it out?
33:29
If you pull it out. Yeah, you're going to have to.
33:32
I'm. Sorry, what am I rolling for?
33:34
That's my question. Pull the stick out you.
33:36
Lose an anchor point? You have to roll again.
33:40
Oh. Well, yeah, hard.
33:41
I'll roll again for that. I've got to.
33:44
Stop. But yeah, I'll, I'll get that.
33:46
Yeah, you don't. Lose an air .0.
33:47
That's not enough. That's an 11.
33:50
Sir, that is not enough. You falter and fall over on your
33:55
back, the back, the back. Shift of weight.
33:58
Causes the van to slide the other way.
34:00
Jeb and you watch you watch Retro slide from the left to the
34:05
right of the vehicle. Retro.
34:10
To make a a move a car to car jump.
34:15
Who's going to be jump? I.
34:22
Believe the. Phrase is and jumps towards the
34:32
van, all four arms splayed in the air.
34:36
You can see the rain battering off his body as he mildly glows.
34:42
And I guess that's an athletics check, right?
34:44
Oh yeah, you. Know what?
34:46
Come to think of it, why didn't we put our like superhuman
34:50
killing machine to work way earlier?
34:58
I just. Imagine that you're.
34:59
Yeah, but you're certainly capable.
35:00
I've looked, I've seen your whole deal and you're more than
35:04
capable of taking a few laps if you need we.
35:07
All have a higher body count domino lands on.
35:10
The back of the of the van denting the top as there's no
35:13
door and is holding on with one of his arms.
35:15
One of his other arms reaches down and the grapple hand
35:19
extends to reach towards you. Retro.
35:22
Oh. Shit, it's the chupacabra.
35:26
Oh fuck, Domino Metro, let me help you.
35:34
Welcome. Yeah, sure.
35:36
I'll reach out to grab Domino's hand.
35:38
His hand. Retracts and helps you up roll
35:42
in athletics you only fall on a crit fail 13.
35:45
You get up easily, stabilizing yourself against the vending
35:47
machine slow. This.
35:50
Vehicle Metro. The machine is well.
35:53
Secured now. He lets go of the top and
35:56
disappears above the vehicle. I need you to roll something to
35:59
secure that machine, Jeb. You watch Domino climb over the
36:03
top of the car and he looks at you.
36:07
Which side is the passenger side?
36:12
What side is the passenger side? I'm sorry, I was just.
36:14
Kind of taken aback that you have presumably the entire
36:18
Internet at your your. Neuron.
36:21
Tips and you don't know which side the passenger is the rat
36:30
side, at least here in that city.
36:32
I know about the the rest of the indie website Retro.
36:35
Just like strap it holding this thing down in the back and
36:39
domino reaches. Duct taping the.
36:46
Shit out of it and Domino. Thrusts his.
36:50
Hand down into the car and grabs the passenger.
36:54
We have to find out. My guess is yes. 20. 10.
37:02
I. Know.
37:07
Domino's voice echoes through the streets, and you watch this
37:11
vehicle slow down. It comes to a stop and you're
37:18
now in a dark side street in the South part of the central part
37:24
of Night City in the combat zone, and they're in the street.
37:28
Domino steps off the vehicle. You've stopped this vehicle from
37:32
getting away and you're now in the street with this maelstrom
37:38
and Domino. Well, Domino.
37:41
That was awesome. Got to PV, how do you feel?
37:46
Strong do. You feel do.
37:48
You feel he steps off the. Van and lifts this guy up.
37:53
Holy shit, next time.
38:05
On no latency. Yeah, get over here so.
38:11
You can help me cut this thing out of here, Iona, can I tell?
38:13
You something I already. Know does have 4.
38:16
Arms. And they're all cybernetically
38:17
enhanced. It's just me, I.
38:19
Already. Know.
38:20
Stop telling Domino's. Secrets.
38:22
Oh, sorry. Or is like domino?
38:23
Kind of like I knew it. What are you doing?
38:26
Help me get this vending machine out.
38:28
Just Domino's. Demeanor.
38:30
Yes. So I'm just going to point at.
38:32
Everybody. And then I'm going to point at
38:33
Domino. Yeah, this is a.
38:35
Predicament. All right.
38:36
Well, I think we're. Done here, I'm going to check my
38:38
hand. Sanitizer as well, Bad boy.
38:40
That guy, God damn it. Phoebe, maybe I should stop
38:43
being. Nice, exactly what I was.
38:45
Thinking well, it's either going to go.
38:46
One of two ways I've been known to sneak.
38:48
We have been bringing. Down the heat, but they persist.
38:51
They're one of the stronger gangs in Night City, hey.
38:54
Tunes before I get. Out of the.
38:56
Vehicle. I'm going to make sure that I
39:00
have both weapons ready. Y'all forgot to.
39:02
Pay your doctor's bill. Oh God.
