S2E71 - Texan on a Hoverboard · No Latency

0:02
Last time on no latency. You know, every once in a while
0:06
I accidentally stumbled into a good play.
0:08
Did he? Stutter.
0:10
They both have really good reflexes I suppose.
0:12
OK, back into the van. Back into the van.
0:14
This is spicy. I've been down in the tunnels
0:16
before, trains are quite loud. If you thought that was spicy,
0:19
just wait till the Tapasco about to get dropped on this bitch.
0:22
300,000. 500,000 they're. Really bidding up fast.
0:25
1,000,000. I'm going to trank them.
0:27
Yeah, yeah. No, I I got that.
0:29
My butt felt that. The only people that walked away
0:32
miss Fruits, Lester and person who won the bid. 10 minutes.
0:36
Oh, I delete every bit of footage of us on that.
0:38
What happened to your butt, Jack?
0:40
Don't care what happened. To us, but we need to leave we.
0:42
Didn't time this for the train schedule but but me and Van Dale
0:45
did time that explosion, am I right?
0:47
I mean, how about we won? All right, I got the box.
1:02
Van Dale, let's go. Where are we going?
1:05
I mean out of here. Right.
1:07
I mean, they're going to come through that door to the South,
1:09
right? So if they say with the heart,
1:12
it's going to be bad. Where are we going?
1:14
I don't know out. Down the train tracks.
1:16
I was just. Going down the train tracks, are
1:18
we going to hide in the bathroom?
1:20
No, let's get the fuck out of here.
1:22
Let's be my friend. We could just try to bunker up
1:25
here and hold them off, yeah. Well, I mean, we, we should
1:30
stay. Yes.
1:34
And the heart people should go. Thanks.
1:37
Me and you, Van Dale. We're the heart people.
1:39
OK, tunnel a bathroom. Tunnel, let's go.
1:43
OK. Don't get run over.
1:46
And then Dell follows you into the tunnel with this, with this
1:51
atomic heart. Remember, it's 10 minutes for
1:55
There's a train in the tunnel, so Jeb and I will have to work
1:58
out what to do because we'll be hit by the train so.
2:01
If we don't get out of here. Right.
2:05
Could just make it to the next platform.
2:08
So start running. It's it's a few.
2:10
Miles there, Jeb. We'll probably get hit by a
2:12
train before that happens. We'll figure it out when we when
2:15
when we get there. You do not.
2:17
Step on that rail, do you, Jeb? And Jeb and Vendel run down the
2:21
tunnel towards the east side of that area.
2:25
You have a few moments as you hear the door being fumble with.
2:29
I send, I send. I send a message to Vendel.
2:32
Get back in the vents. I only just get back into bed.
2:35
Jeff, come this way. Are we just going to try to play
2:37
this off as much as we can install like that?
2:40
We don't know what's going on. I mean, we don't have the heart.
2:42
Correct. OK.
2:43
What is going on? I don't even know what is.
2:46
What is? What is going on?
2:47
What? What's happening?
2:49
And miss fruits, three gods, Mastiff and the person who
2:55
bought the object Celine Basque enter the platform area.
2:59
What's going on? Where's my fucking heart?
3:03
Yeah, who you? You seem to have left a kind of
3:06
incredibly promptly around the time the alarm goes off and the
3:09
object is missing. Hand over the fucking heart yet,
3:13
charlatans. The alarm went.
3:15
Off I opened my Biotechnica jacket.
3:19
Miss Fruits turns off the alarm. Yes.
3:22
What? Well, wait, how do we know you
3:24
just didn't set it off and now you're just trying to rip us
3:26
off? Now how do, how do we know Miss
3:30
Fruits? You didn't.
3:31
You just turned that button. How do we know you didn't set up
3:34
the alarm and set this whole thing up?
3:36
But we were just in the vault and it wasn't there.
3:38
There's there's only one you maybe could.
3:40
Have went ahead and stole it from them and now made us passes
3:43
because we didn't want to play away with this stupid little
3:45
game. He makes a good point.
3:47
Did you check Miss Fruits to see if they went and took it?
3:51
They're the ones that have all the stuff.
3:52
And hey, by the way, did you realize that the last time they
3:55
had one of these things, the people who didn't buy stuff were
3:58
the ones who ended up dead? So you trying to set us up as
4:01
your next patches to go through with this deal, Miss Fruits?
4:04
You know, I had a little, you know, there was like a thing
4:07
about how pretty I thought you were, but now you just look like
4:10
the worst person in the world. Wow, wow, this is this is
4:19
nicely. Directly after an investor's
4:21
meeting. I mean, I could just see you
4:23
shivering right there with your anticipation, realizing you done
4:26
fucked up. Role Persuasion 17, 7.
4:36
I'll tell you what. How about this?
4:37
Can I drop the DV if I do something very outrageous?
4:41
Yes, because you currently fail. All right, fine.
4:44
You want to search me? Fine.
4:45
Retro's going to go ahead and drop the bag.
4:47
Go ahead here and takes down the bag.
4:49
They're going to take off the jacket here.
4:52
I'll toss up my jacket in front of him and then here you go.
4:54
Takes off his shirt. He pulls down his pants, and
4:57
then he pulls down his underwear.
4:58
He takes his socks and his shoes off, all in that order, and he
5:03
throws it off butt ass naked. He's gonna turn around.
5:05
He's like, there, go ahead, see you got nothing on me.
5:07
He'll bend over and spread his butt cheeks here.
5:10
Check that you. Think I put an extra heart right
5:13
up my ass here. Check that.
5:16
Sorry, sometimes he gets like this after a drink.
5:20
Then those we clearly established.
5:22
Those were very strong drinks. Yes, I I believe we did.
5:27
I'm kind of glad that I have having trouble seeing there.
5:30
Mr. TV Man, you are hairy in places that are upsetting.
5:37
No reaction. Fair enough.
5:39
Damn. He's very stoic.
5:42
I'm no, I'm. Just going to say I'm still
5:45
spread wide open. Nobody's told me shit yet.
5:49
I'm not sure you can close your ass to us.
5:51
God damn. Look, I don't know.
5:55
We don't know what happened to the heart and honest, quite
5:57
frankly, I don't think we really care because we didn't win the
5:59
bid. So sorry, but good luck.
6:03
Train will arrive in 5 minutes. Going to turn around.
6:06
Fine. If you ain't going to do it,
6:07
then yeah, I'm going to go and put all my stuff back on in the
6:09
same order, in the reverse order of what I said.
6:12
And yeah. Retro gets redressed in front of
6:15
these people. Thank you for putting your
6:16
clothes back on. There's no need for that.
6:20
Hey, you're the one who went ahead and just straight up
6:23
accused us with no proof for whatsoever.
6:26
Meanwhile, in the tunnel. Jeb, Jeb.
6:29
The train's going to be here in 5 minutes.
6:31
We'll never make it. There's there's a door here.
6:34
We'll. Dive in.
6:35
It's fucking locked. Oh.
6:37
Shit kick. It down, there's room in here
6:40
for two people, but not two people and the heart.
6:43
So if if one of us gets hit by a train, we should probably save
6:47
the heart, I think. You kick it down, kick down the
6:50
door, use your robot leg. Oh, OK.
6:53
OK, I've got a role for that. All right.
6:56
I guess we're using the robot leg.
7:02
Jeb really wants the robot leg. Power Leg 19, yes, that does
7:07
beat the DV and then they'll kick this door open.
7:11
All right, Jeb, get the fuck in here.
7:13
Yeah, I'm here and. Jeb and Vendel find that they
7:16
have re entered the room next to the vault.
7:19
Oh. Hey, we were in here before.
7:24
Yeah, Fandale, we, we were the ones that created this crate,
7:28
this small crater in the side here and.
7:30
There's still a bit of still bit of smoke in here.
7:34
Oh yeah, don't worry about that. So I suppose we're going to do a
7:38
little just kind of subway hoppings and wait for the this
7:42
train to go by and then get back in there and keep moving, huh?
7:46
I I thought when the train arrives we could sneak onto the
7:48
train from the tunnel. Oh, right.
7:53
Yeah, All right. Well, I do like a.
7:56
Sneaking I, I, I it's away. We're hidden from them.
7:59
As long as they don't find this little room beside the vault,
8:05
we're we're pretty safe. So as long as the other guys
8:08
don't screw the pooch, I think we're going to be fine.
8:11
As long as no one comes to check on the thing that exploded, it's
8:14
probably going to be all right. Turning back to.
8:17
The group, you know, there was that explosion we felt during
8:21
the meeting sounded like it came from somewhere down the tunnel.
8:27
We got a few minutes. I could go and check if you
8:29
like. And Mastic starts to walk past
8:33
you. If you could just move out of
8:35
the way there TV man. I try and come, yeah, sure,
8:40
suddenly. All right.
8:41
Roll roll stealth. What are you doing?
8:45
No, I. Shouldn't have done this?
8:47
Maybe I should? Can I Can I prevent BB from
8:49
doing that? Sure if.
8:51
He passes out. It's fine.
8:54
OK. You know what?
8:55
No. No.
8:56
No, you know what? Roll roll to see if you drank
8:58
it. OK. 15 yes, that is pretty high.
9:03
Let's be real, that is a three, so nobody notices that you just
9:08
an extra bit of trunk into him and he takes three steps
9:11
forward. He rolls A2 unresisted truck.
9:15
Oh my God. Takes two more steps and fucking
9:21
faints. Oh oh oh God.
9:25
Maybe. Hey y'all going to help him out?
9:28
I mean look he just passed out again like you are not doing
9:32
very well that you're taking care of your guests was fruits.
9:34
Look, you have this guy passing out twice, take try to take
9:37
control of your own situation and you can't even get what this
9:40
other one bought. It's the guy you drank before.
9:43
Oh, OK, OK. Yeah, you drank this guy twice.
9:46
This could be honestly, this could be some sort of medical
9:50
condition that's a bit, it could be narcolepsy or some other
9:54
condition. I.
9:55
Mean he did get a pretty big head trauma or.
9:59
He could have a concussion, Yeah, straight up concussion.
10:02
Look, his head was bleeding. He may need medical attention
10:05
very quickly. Yeah, where's medical attention
10:07
people, huh? Well, this is a secret meeting,
10:10
so. Please, I know that the the
10:15
heart is very important, but we should this man's health is also
10:19
very important. You wanted to get known for your
10:22
secret meeting. For everybody else, well.
10:24
Are you traumatine? Well, no.
10:30
I I former a former. Former Don't don't help.
10:35
Don't don't want to fucking deal with it.
10:36
You Are you really going to let Mr. Mastic die at your meeting?
10:41
No, I'm not going to do I. I mean.
10:43
As a medical professionals, so if you could help us, I would
10:46
appreciate it. Biotechnical assistance please.
10:50
Allow me to just take a look and I'm going to just like just try
10:55
to distract. Roll for it.
10:57
Yeah, you're trying to do sub par medical stuff.
11:00
You're not trying to kill him, but you don't want him to wake
11:02
up. You roll a crit success 24 and
11:08
you find a little spot on his back that is just a pressure
11:13
point that makes his whole body shudder.
11:16
Now from the outside this could look like some kind of seizure,
11:20
but doing it, you realize all you're doing is tickling him.
11:24
OK, I love this. I'm going to.
11:32
I'm going to tap the tap it on the back or back of his neck
11:36
over this. He's seizing.
11:39
He's seizing. Somebody please help.
11:43
Is there no strong, burly man that can help pick up Mr.
11:46
Massic? He's seizing this is this is
11:50
serious. He needs to be taken to a
11:53
hospital so bad. OK.
11:59
Honestly. No, you're right.
12:01
You're correct. OK.
12:03
Yeah. Do you?
12:04
Do you attempt to fake stabilize him in this moment?
12:06
Yes, I will attempt to stabilize him, but.
12:11
And in this moment, do you stabilize him in such a way that
12:14
he probably won't wake up for a few hours?
12:17
Yes. All right.
12:18
How do you do it? I'm just going to, I'm going to
12:22
just give him an additional, I'm going to give an additional dose
12:26
to keep them passed out. He is certainly going to need
12:32
proper medical attention. He needs to be taken to a
12:35
hospital as soon as he can. I've at least stabilized for now
12:38
because the seizing, the passing out, this could be something
12:43
there could be some actual neural trauma from what happened
12:47
all. Right, Iona and your crew.
12:52
Are you fine to take him to a trauma team depot somewhere?
12:56
We're we're about to catch this next train.
12:58
We can take him. All right.
13:01
Do you have anything that will hold a single person?
13:04
I have a hoverboard. How cyberpunk pull out?
13:10
Your hoverboard from your from your boom box and shove him
13:13
underneath it and he's now hovering 3 feet of the ground
13:16
unconscious we're. About to walk on this train with
13:18
an unconscious man. I'm sure this train's seen
13:22
worse. Yeah, I did on the way here.
13:25
I guess you're right. I mean, just button up your
13:28
doctor's coat and yes, professional.
13:32
Yes, I am a professional. Just as you get him onto this
13:36
hoverboard, everyone's looking, looking at this.
13:39
This is not what any of these people expected tonight.
13:41
The guards are very confused. Miss Fruits is very confused.
13:45
Celine is kind of pissed off. She turns to Miss Fruits.
13:48
Do I get my money back? It's a lot of cheddar.
13:51
We'll talk about it. And Miss Fruits hands you a
13:56
business card, will you? Let me know if he dies, yes.
14:01
The train arrives and the doors open and Jeb and Vendel in the
14:07
tunnel can see the very end of the train with the end door that
14:10
they could come in and the rest of you are now standing with the
14:13
train doors open. You have around about two
14:15
minutes to get on the train before it leaves.
14:17
How many people are getting on this train?
14:19
Is it just us with with the mastic?
14:22
All right, let's take Mr. Mastic.
14:25
Phoebe, you're too kind. Goodbye this, ma'am, I
14:28
apologize. This shouldn't have happened on
14:31
our watch for you. I am deeply embarrassed to this
14:34
whole situation. And I don't know if Biotechnica
14:37
should enjoy any more of this particular meetings if this is
14:41
what's going to keep happening, especially after it happened
14:43
with Patrick and such. I really think that you know.
14:47
Things need to be readjusted. I can assure you this sort of
14:52
chaos isn't normally part of our procedure.
14:56
Well, I mean we'll. Have to find a new location for
14:59
this obviously. Well, we'll have to see.
15:02
That's going to be more of a Miss Pescu call on that deal.
15:07
I'm just relaying from what I see for this particular point.
15:10
I think you have a lot to make up for Miss Fruits and luckily
15:13
for you, they are very forgiving at times in which can be
15:17
infuriating for me. So I will say this probably have
15:21
a good shot, but I would say better be on your better
15:24
behavior for it. Come on, let's load up Mr.
15:27
Massic so that way we can get them there before he dies.
15:30
Since now it's been falling on charge on us, please.
15:34
Yes. Have a great rest of your night.
15:39
Jeb, it's now. Come on, pick up the box.
15:41
Let's go. Yep.
15:41
Let's go, let's go. I'm going to go sneak up onto
15:44
the back there and maybe we can just kind of wait it out for a
15:48
bit. There's a door so we should try
15:50
and get in before the train starts because they go really
15:52
fast and I don't want to be on the outside.
15:55
But other people are going to see us.
15:57
Jeb, we're going to sneak onto the fucking train.
15:59
Roll stealth. I will also roll stealth.
16:04
Yeah, you will. Right now.
16:06
You'll get there. I'm.
16:08
Just I'm just, I'm just thinking about it.
16:09
I've got about 30 seconds left. 15, it's good enough. 15 and
16:15
2215. Wait, like that's, that's
16:17
literally above average. I'm doing a great job.
16:19
There was a huge distraction. I meet I meet the DV though that
16:22
was close. My name is Johnny and I'm the
16:32
host, executive producer, and Prince of Lies for the Monsters
16:36
Playbook. What's the monster's playbook?
16:39
It's an actual play Monster of the Week podcast set in my
16:42
hometown of Minneapolis, MN where no monster can hurt you as
16:46
badly as you can hurt yourself. It's a character focused
16:50
adventure where you'll meet Kyra Ashwood, a journalist with a
16:53
cult past she's desperate to atone for, and a secret power
16:57
hidden even from herself. Casey Davis, a taciturn secret
17:02
agent, becoming disillusioned with the agency she thought she
17:05
could trust. Theo Nessos, a professional
17:08
sorceress trying to escape the shadow of her powerful magical
17:11
family. And Mark Clayton, a pretty
17:15
haunted introvert who just wants to make sense of his powers and
17:18
all the weird things that keep happening to him.
17:21
This is a show where danger could just as easily come from
17:24
an otherworldly threat as from the fragile emotions that anchor
17:28
our characters and bind them together.
17:30
If you like Buffy the Vampire Slayer, The Dresden Files, or
17:34
any city set supernatural story with monstrous threats and messy
17:37
feelings, check out the Monsters Playbook new episodes every
17:41
other Tuesday wherever you get your podcasts.
18:06
BB Station. Can't believe that actually
18:11
worked. Oh, you guys made it OK.
18:15
And Jeb and Vendel come over with this heart in a box.
18:21
Well, we've got the box. I have a Texan.
18:26
Look, firstly, I apologize if you know that was a little too
18:31
much. I thought maybe, you know,
18:34
knocking the guy out with a couple of trank darts.
18:36
Don't worry, he's out out. So he won't be how?
18:38
Many trank dart darts. Did you give him?
18:41
Three. Three traps, baby.
18:45
He'll be fine. I will have to explain to the
18:50
doctors when I drop him off about that because you know,
18:55
they're going to know it wasn't he just passed out from alcohol
18:58
or hitting his head or something.
18:59
So that's what everybody else thinks all.
19:01
Right. So if we take Trauma Team,
19:03
they're going to know that he was tranquilized, you know?
19:06
Who we could take him to. Oh.
19:08
God. Sawtooth our.
19:10
Favorite doctor are. We driving to sort of right now.
19:15
Yeah, I think, well, we kind of have to because I did kind of,
19:18
you know, I, I do feel responsible for this.
19:22
He's going to remember. So much of this.
19:25
VV can we not just leave him on the train hurt the high pules
19:31
that you have to look like he injected himself and looked like
19:35
just another resident of Knight city enjoying the train ride on
19:39
a on a trank high. I mean, we could.
19:49
We could do that. Here's my question Duty If we do
19:54
not take him to a doctor, is it going to die?
19:57
No, he'll live. But he'll remember all of us, so
20:02
we end up like, not matter. If only there was some sort of
20:05
drug that would like erase the last bit of the memory that he
20:11
had. Yeah.
20:12
And it was under an hour us being in there.
20:14
Yeah, really good. If we had something that would
20:18
all right. All right, OK.
20:21
What? I can do that.
20:24
Do what? Do you got a drug that does
20:26
exactly that? Do we?
20:29
Yes, we do. My God, we could do that.
20:36
Look, I'm I'm open to whatever you guys feels best.
20:38
I I did. I feel bad that I kind of
20:41
screwed this guy over, but also he's an exec and an asshole so
20:44
maybe I don't care. It's fine.
20:47
I don't know how trank mixes with this so.
20:52
I think it'll be fine. Yeah, do we care about side
20:55
effects for someone who is apparently this much of a Dick?
20:58
No, I pull it out of my bag. Go ahead.
21:00
And call it. Yeah, it's pretty sure if it
21:03
does. All right, so, So what we need
21:09
to do is getting him, get him into a situation where he maybe
21:13
thinks he missed the meeting. Right.
21:17
Fell asleep on the train. But then that doesn't explain
21:22
why he has head trauma and is full of tranquilizer darts.
21:24
So do we take him to sore tooth anyway and say we found him or
21:29
do you want to do the train? The train thing was too.
21:30
It would leave a lot more loose ends.
21:33
Well, I suppose we could probably just take him to South
21:35
Tooth and and then when he wakes up, just tell S Tooth that I
21:39
mean almost the truth, right? I just tell him that he was at
21:43
the underground thing and that we that he hit his head and that
21:46
we brought him here to get, you know, have him taken care of.
21:51
Do we have something like an enzyme that can break down the
21:53
tranquilizer? An enzyme.
21:57
Like a a trancantidote. Do you have something like that?
22:00
Could be. Trancantidote.
22:02
You know, I I don't know if I technically have any.
22:09
I mean, I have, I have smelling salts that helps wake people up
22:13
pretty quickly. It woke my owner up.
22:14
Do you remember when we took a pint of your blood while you
22:17
were awake? Yes, yeah.
22:18
I just, I remember you taking a pint of my blood while I was
22:22
awake. I do remember that.
22:26
The reason why I asked about the the breaking down of the
22:29
tranquilizer is because if we can do that, we can just leave
22:33
him on the train. I bet you Sawtooth would have
22:36
that. Yes, Sawtooth would.
22:39
Definitely. All right, let's just.
22:40
Take him, Give me a second. Let's take him to the doctor,
22:43
The real doctor. You're a real doctor.
22:46
Don't. Don't do that boost still.
22:49
Oh yeah, I got some boost. Hold on a second.
22:53
I got three of them, in fact. I would like to go.
22:57
And just do. Use basic tech to try to, well,
23:03
hold on, give me a second. Yeah, I was going to try to see
23:05
if I could concoct boosts with the smelling salts itself to
23:15
potentially just wake the gentleman up.
23:19
Yeah, you can fashion a mixer. You can fashion a little
23:22
Margarita blender out of some scrap and some stuff from the
23:24
vending machine. Oh, I just just use my robotic
23:27
hand. That's a good enough shaker as
23:29
it is already. All right, you, you.
23:32
Create a a centrifuge in a Tumblr that you got from the
23:36
Bubble Cafe. Yeah, All right, I'm gonna take
23:41
the can, put it into their hand. OK, go ahead.
23:46
Just pour it down his throat. Just a little bit of time so
23:49
that way they don't choke. Maybe.
23:51
I hope you'll help me out here so that way.
23:52
Yes, I will make sure you're. Doing this?
23:56
Are we doing this after or before we put the never mind
23:58
into this human? We probably should do that soon
24:01
because it's like, you know, it deletes the last hour.
24:04
Wake up unknowing so this first and then the never mind so he
24:08
forgets everything. Don't you mean the never mind
24:10
and then this and then the drink?
24:13
Never mind. And then the drink.
24:14
Never mind, I just give it to him.
24:17
Oh, OK. So you shove never mind into his
24:19
mouth. Vivi, you have to make.
24:21
Him I have, yes. Somebody else will open his
24:23
mouth, I will drop it in. I have a one of those like pill
24:28
guns. There you go.
24:33
He removes it from his mouth and puts it in some professional
24:35
medical equipment. Gives I owner a look.
24:39
You could have said something. I I got it.
24:42
And you inject this pole into his bloodstream.
24:45
You watch him shake slightly as he starts to forget the last
24:49
hour of his life. It coincides with a roundabout,
24:52
probably around where he was heading towards the venue, but
24:55
he remembers nothing about being there.
24:58
Is everyone ready? Yeah, yeah.
25:01
And then we get we're getting off this train just.
25:04
Act natural, Jeb. Don't.
25:06
Say it. Are we, are we acting drunk?
25:09
Is that what we're doing? I just want to make.
25:12
Sure, we're acting natural. Oh, natural.
25:14
OK. And.
25:15
Vendel does the most unnatural pose as they lean against a.
25:18
Pole on the train. Sit, sit down.
25:20
OK, I'll sit down. I'm going to sit next.
25:23
I'm going to sit next to Vendel All.
25:25
Right, you go and sit next to Vendel all.
25:27
Right, I'm going to pour some into into the guy's mouth and
25:35
then softly slap his cheek as if I'm waking him up.
25:40
And I'm going to have him roll resist or drugs.
25:44
That's a one. He's very drunk, but never mind.
25:47
Hits him fine, causes no complications whatsoever.
25:50
But he rolled A1 to the beast. He is woozy.
25:56
Hey, hey, hey. Buddy, Hey, you there?
25:59
Hey. Champ.
26:01
What the fuck did I drink? I feel like I was just hit by a
26:05
fucking elephant, which is impressive because I've never
26:09
seen one in real life. Damn I'm.
26:11
Not. I'm not sure you were chatting,
26:13
something about how you got some.
26:16
Am I still on this fucking train?
26:18
Yeah, dude, you said you got some boost off of a couple of,
26:22
What do you call them? Wait, what time is it?
26:25
Metal jackets? The what?
26:26
Fucking time is it? Oh, it's yeah.
26:30
It's about 10 minutes to one now.
26:32
It's getting closer. Oh fuck, did I?
26:35
No damn it had one more drink before I left and maybe there
26:38
was too much. Did I pick some more on the way?
26:41
Oh shit, that's beer off the fucking truck.
26:43
Tell us about how you picked up some some beer from the
26:46
Maelstrom guys. Oh fuck, I'm on the fucking.
26:50
Why am I on a fucking hoverboard?
26:53
I want to know why you're looking at yourself, Sir.
26:55
I placed you there after you or, or actually, no, you were doing
26:59
some wild stuff. I you saw, you saw my hoverboard
27:03
on the train and you were like, give me the hoverboard and then
27:06
you thought you could like start like riding it and dancing on it
27:10
and then you like fell off of it and it was like.
27:13
You hit your head pretty hard actually.
27:16
Yeah, more. Persuasion for that one.
27:19
That seems like an incredibly realistic reason for why I
27:22
passed out. Absolutely.
27:26
So that makes the DV fall. It's not that you need it
27:29
because it's a fucking 18. You both rolled in 18.
27:33
Yeah. Damn.
27:34
You know what I'm going to say? Sometimes I like to be a little
27:37
bit of a hot rod. You know what I mean, cowboy.
27:40
Yeah. Yeehaw.
27:41
Right. LA That's that's exactly what I
27:44
was going to say, yeah. That's right.
27:46
It's weird that you were the only one of these people here
27:49
who didn't speak. I didn't speak.
27:51
Yeah, but you're more of like an assistant type.
27:53
Well, I just felt like anything that I might say, mate, you
27:58
know, make things more difficult than they had to be.
27:59
This guy is. Such an asshole.
28:02
Wait, what do you mean more difficult?
28:03
Your friend's the kind of friends who tell you to shut up
28:05
when things get hot. Oh yeah, champ.
28:08
Shut the fuck up. Yeah, I know those kind of
28:11
people. They've usually got secrets.
28:14
What secrets are you lot on? Oh shit, man, I got a headache.
28:19
I can't remember shit. Alcohol does that.
28:22
You have too much of it. No, I know my 4th bachelor party
28:26
I lost the whole fucking week Mr. W Good thing too.
28:31
God, this guy. This is what's.
28:33
Our train landed getting in. I I told you we should have just
28:38
left him alone after he passed out.
28:40
We should have left him alone. But you told me we should have
28:42
checked on him, make sure that he was OK after he had his fall.
28:45
But no, he just wants to be a jerk.
28:48
All right, man. And you're just showing me why
28:50
it's not worth helping people out nowadays.
28:53
No, no, I mean you. You saved my ass.
28:56
I'm not a man who is not thankful for his charges.
29:00
Your real persuasion high enough that I think you've done me a
29:03
favor. So tell you what for save my
29:08
butt and making sure I don't get found on the floor of a train.
29:10
He gets up from. The hoverboard.
29:12
How about I give you a reward and you don't tell no one that
29:16
you found me passed out on a train That doesn't look good.
29:20
Net 54 finds out about that. Me and Petra Kim are going to
29:23
get into some trouble, and I can't hide that I work for
29:25
Petrocam because it's literally written on my fucking jacket.
29:28
So you already know that. So how much money do I have to
29:32
pay you motherfuckers to keep you quiet?
29:34
I'd say about 5. 5 bucks damn you are one cheap motherfucker.
29:40
But if that's what you want, any.
29:41
Hands jab a fiber. All right, I'm coming out on
29:46
top. Fiber for each of you.
29:50
Yeah. I'm running a little.
29:54
Bit more I don't know, I got my 5 bucks back that I gave to you,
30:00
but I got it back. So we're I'm back up even now.
30:03
That's great. I'm, I'm trying to distract him
30:05
from hearing what Jeb's saying by telling him, look, I, I'm,
30:08
I'm, I'm a little bit more than, than than five.
30:11
I mean, you know, I, to be honest, I'm a freelance
30:17
journalist myself and oh. This is pretty.
30:20
Well. I did not know that I was going
30:22
to get manhandled by a man with a fucking CRT for a face.
30:27
Fine, roll Persuasion. I'll see what I'll give you.
30:29
I mean, this would be a great start for the headlines coming
30:33
up this Sunday. I mean, just think of the scream
30:37
sheets coming out with there. Well, you rolled a 17, so I'll
30:41
tell you what. His 200 eddies.
30:43
Now how about you shut the fuck up?
30:45
I mean, hey, I could take that. I take recording.
30:47
Equipment on that that'll doodad face of yours.
30:49
You make sure you delete that shit, you hear me boy?
30:52
Well, I'll take offense that you would think that that would be
30:54
the case, but I will do it most people.
30:56
Record with their face. That is an assumption I have in
30:58
not city boy. Assumption I had in not city
31:01
man. I need you to.
31:03
Did you just call me boy? I no, I corrected it so it
31:06
didn't actually happen. You know what?
31:08
Here's your 200 back. This might make better for a
31:12
better. God damn it, motherfucker.
31:14
Look, if you don't take my money, I'm just going to start.
31:17
Maybe maybe a little bit more to cover the boy thing.
31:20
Here's. 250 and you shut the fuck up.
31:22
All right, good for me. Everyone else happy, you all
31:24
fucking done with my fucking debauchery and taking advantage
31:28
of it. God damn it Mr. Fucking Meeting,
31:30
my boss is going to have a fucking field day.
31:32
He says as the train arrives at the station.
31:35
Well, it was it was a good target.
31:36
Do we? Yeah, this is my stop, you
31:40
motherfucker staying on this fucking train.
31:43
What are we saying? I'm trying.
31:45
I'm just gonna keep continuing on, Sir.
31:47
I have no idea who you are and what happened tonight.
31:52
He says as he walks away from the train.
31:55
Now he's walked away from the train and you can choose to get
31:58
off at this station or move on to a different one.
32:01
What station are we at in relationship to no agency?
32:07
To get back to where you parked your car is around about a 20
32:11
minute ride. Or you could try and take like a
32:14
a taxi from this station. Oh, let's just keep riding.
32:20
Station I think, as the doors shut after he's left.
32:24
Well, I'm glad you didn't notice the box with the horror in it.
32:33
And you sail off into Night City, back to the station where
32:37
you arrived on the loop that is this train.
32:41
And you get into Vanna White and head back to the bar.
32:44
Hey, Vivi. Yes, Richard.
32:47
I feel like, you know, we're a good distance away now and such.
32:52
Maybe you should give a quick check on the inside there to
32:56
make sure that the heart's OK. That is a good idea.
33:02
I'm going to check on that heart.
33:04
All right, you check on the heart in the back of Vanna
33:09
White. You open the box and start to
33:10
examine it with your medical scanner.
33:12
Roll for it, Medical Tech 19. Scanning Scanning Scanning
33:21
prototype running at 60% efficiency.
33:25
Radiation shielding Intact object in low power mode.
33:29
Radiation shielding sufficient for larger power output.
33:33
An increase of 40% is possible. Medical professional required.
33:37
Oh, but it looks all intact and no.
33:43
Housing is sufficient to hold object indefinitely.
33:46
Shock absorbers detected. Extra radiation shield detected.
33:50
Box will keep objects. Safe and this thing is so cool.
33:55
It glows green. Wow, this is one of the coolest
34:00
devices I've ever seen. First of all.
34:02
Second of all, it's fine. No damage from the transport.
34:08
The only thing is it looks like it's performing at like a 60%
34:14
output right now, like they put it in some sort of like lower
34:17
power mode. So we don't want it, you know,
34:20
we don't want it. We don't want to run in a full
34:23
60%. We want it fully operational
34:25
before we do anything with this. So I might have to might have to
34:31
tinker with it for a bit to make sure it's all good.
34:34
It feels weird saying tinkering with the heart like it's a like
34:40
it's a device, you know, something like retro would
34:45
tinker with. You know I mean, I suppose all
34:47
of our hearts are mid of a device.
34:50
Yeah, I. Mean in a way, we're all just
34:53
machines just pumping our way through.
34:56
Some more than others. Yeah.
35:00
You know the cyber Ware. All of our hearts are fragile
35:06
and complicated, and only the right people can truly touch
35:11
them and make them beep. You say poetically as you.
35:18
Drive. Towards Night City rather
35:20
driving, check. It's very windy outside.
35:23
It's it's creepy. It's the wind is howling.
35:29
Jeb, as you drive through the howling wind of Night City drive
35:34
up to the elevator outside and rolling a 27.
35:37
No one even sees the the van descend into the bar.
35:41
The doors open and you return VV holding the box as you will step
35:45
into the bar. Oh.
35:47
You're. Back.
35:49
And in record time, too. It's barely past 1:00 AM.
35:52
Yeah, for once we didn't have to shoot a bunch of people.
35:56
I don't think I shot a single bullet out of my gun.
36:00
I did throw a grenade, actually. I threw, I threw one grenade and
36:04
then I shoved another one down the tube.
36:06
You did. That tube, of course, being the
36:08
the you. Forgot the the train ride there
36:10
when we did have the fight with the Maelstrom.
36:12
Oh, we did. We did shoot a bunch of people.
36:15
We did shoot and kill a bunch of people, yeah.
36:17
That's what this video's about then VV.
36:20
Oh, let me see. How did how did they paint the
36:23
picture? What kind of twist and angle did
36:27
the news put? Oh.
36:29
That's a nine. That's a nine and the only shots
36:33
they got were shots that make it look like you guys were the
36:36
victim. And there's a really close shot
36:39
of VD pulling the hand out of someone POV style and stitching.
36:43
You and. Then pack on you.
36:45
They covered it with jaunty music that matches the time, and
36:49
it's actually kind of amusing. And then it says.
36:54
Train Hero. Interesting, that's my new
37:00
title, Train Hero. Better if they came up with a
37:05
better name. I mean, it's cool.
37:07
Yeah, this isn't what I expected, but Vivi's.
37:10
Reputation goes up by 1. You know what?
37:13
I'll take it. What's the viral the viralness
37:17
of this video? It's not quite viral yet.
37:20
It's at the 50,000 likes views. All right.
37:25
All right, I'll share it. Somebody on the street you know
37:29
might might notice. Me, you know, it's enough.
37:31
It's enough that someone might notice you sometime.
37:33
But if it was picked up by net 54, it could get bigger.
37:35
But we'll see. We can always ask April OH to
37:39
run the story. Yeah, like we could force a
37:42
viral. That'd be fun.
37:44
I'll send them a message. And then they'll start to draft
37:47
a message to April. Ping looks at the box.
37:52
So. You got the heart then.
37:54
We did. Good.
37:57
Well, now all we need is the head and brain.
38:01
Yeah, it needs a little bit of work, but I can.
38:04
I'll take care of it. Right.
38:06
Well, we we can get to that either soon or when we put the
38:10
body together. Yeah, it's not, I guess.
38:13
Yeah, we don't need to do this urgently.
38:15
So. But it's good to know how much
38:17
is it running at 60%? Yeah, it's still.
38:21
If we can't get it working, it'll mean Domino's still pretty
38:23
strong. Yeah.
38:26
OK, so we've got better. I mean, of course we want it
38:28
better. We always want the good ending.
38:30
That's why they got all 12 vending machines last time.
38:36
OK, so you need, so you've got the you've got the heart, the
38:40
body, the arms, the legs, because that came with the body
38:43
frame. And then we need the the the
38:48
skull and brain and the skin. And then I think there's
38:53
something else, but Domino's looking into that.
38:56
But I have found where the brain is.
39:02
Now, is the heart of the brain more important?
39:07
Philosophically, of course. Well, we need both.
39:12
I mean, the heart makes funk really is the most important
39:15
organ in your body. However, the brain is what makes
39:19
the heartbeat. Exactly.
39:22
And if Domino was plugged into the mains, they wouldn't need a
39:24
heart, so there's that. But if but Domino already kind
39:29
of, I mean, he kind of already got a brain, right?
39:31
Like he he. Yeah, but.
39:33
He's to sit somewhere, Jeb. Well.
39:35
Where is it sitting now? In 12 vending machines.
39:41
Right. So his brain right now is big.
39:44
So we need a, we need a, we need a brain that can hold an
39:46
incredibly complex and dense engram.
39:50
Yeah, like something the size of a chip.
39:53
Right. Well, no, let's be real.
39:55
Something the signs of a brain. It only makes sense.
39:58
And there's only one person who's been working on that kind
40:01
of tech. Don't say it.
40:04
Danny Dark side. Oh oh.
40:08
Danny Dark side. It's a cool name, I'll admit
40:12
I've never heard of him. He's very safety conscious and
40:17
rumour has it that he's got this amazing brain shaped storage
40:22
device that he has a prototype of.
40:28
So it looks like we're going to be stealing yet another
40:30
prototype, which is exciting. Well, I say we it's more you
40:34
lot, isn't it? Could you do you mind if you
40:39
give us a? Little bit, yeah.
40:41
Do you take a nap? Sure.
40:43
This is just. Just so you know, I've got the
40:44
information. Oh, good.
40:46
Because I thought you were saying you should probably go
40:48
get that now. And I I don't know.
40:50
That party, he's going to be doing an event in a few days.
40:55
I'm finding out some more information so I'll have
40:56
something for you in a in a few hours.
40:59
Oh, another heist. 2 heists in a row.
41:02
This ain't going to be the same if it's Danny Dark Side.
41:06
Well, you do have a few. Days before we have an opening
41:09
to get that, so you could do something else in the interim if
41:12
you wanted to. Like a nap.
