Transcript
- 0:02Last time on no latency. And smash into the professor's
- 0:07head. So should I call Rams head?
- 0:12Oh, ma'am. This is probably the best photo
- 0:15I've ever seen of you. It said Professor Slash Sensei.
- 0:19They're hungry for vegetables. That he's very excited about the
- 0:23book. He needs us to.
- 0:25I'd love to move on with our lives.
- 0:27So the Dean's mouth shut. I mean, of course that makes
- 0:30sense. Yeah, that, that's the thing.
- 0:32No, I'm going to stand outside the room and hear it apparently
- 0:35is what I've decided I'm going to do.
- 0:37We're actually doing this. This is this is all out of
- 0:39passion, man. It's not like we planned.
- 0:41This It's important that when you say something, you made it.
- 0:44He'll recover, he'll be fine. This is just teaching him a
- 0:48lesson. I feel you at Mafia now.
- 1:04Phoebe, I couldn't agree with you more.
- 1:05Or. Teach him the guy a lesson, eh?
- 1:09I'm going to get on the roof. With Jeb.
- 1:11Where there's the transponder to build.
- 1:13And also one of my favorite things of all Jeb plausible
- 1:17deniability. Oh yeah, that's important.
- 1:23And Vendell and Jeb head to the roof, leaving Iona, Vivi and
- 1:31Retro outside the building with the Dean.
- 1:37All right. What code word do you want?
- 1:43Holy shit, there's someone coming.
- 1:44Hurry up. Something like that, yes, I will
- 1:51yell or you will yell. Make haste.
- 1:59Make haste. Make haste I.
- 2:02OK. And I will get this done.
- 2:07All right. I'm going to get in there.
- 2:08Let me how are we going to knock knock them out?
- 2:11You don't. Have.
- 2:13Any I have some sedations. Yeah, I'm going to have to just
- 2:17quietly go in and sedate him and then do this.
- 2:20All right, I'm ready. Let's go all.
- 2:23Right. I proceed into his office.
- 2:33Excuse me, is there any need to be barging into my office, Mr.
- 2:38Ortiz? I mean, I'm I'm going to tell
- 2:44you like that's seems a little rude.
- 2:46It wasn't really barging. I didn't like come slamming in,
- 2:50stomping all over the ground. I wiped my feet.
- 2:52I open the door gently. Maybe it was through an
- 2:57alternative, but it is still an entrance.
- 2:59If not so like you're so nitpicky about stuff.
- 3:04Yeah, of course I'm nitpicky. I'm the Dean.
- 3:06Yeah, but you like find like the smallest littlest thing and just
- 3:11try to ruin people about it to keep your superiority complex.
- 3:15They found you naked in the hallway.
- 3:19Who hasn't been found naked in the hallway at some point in
- 3:22their life? The shrooms were good.
- 3:27I was on another planet. I was connecting.
- 3:30Drug use on campus? Fantastic.
- 3:33It was signed off by you. No it.
- 3:37Wasn't. Are you high?
- 3:39Pharmacy. Well, yeah, but pharmaceutical
- 3:41testing? We weren't testing mushrooms on
- 3:46campus, you were growing them in your dorm room.
- 3:50What was the thesis that was put in place for that?
- 3:54Your thesis was on explosives. We defined that in the last
- 3:57episode, no? No, no, that was my thesis for
- 3:59this. I have, I mean, you can have
- 4:01more than one thesis. I had another thesis that I was
- 4:03having sent off to the regional actual, well, not the regional,
- 4:08sorry, the city manager to be able to get put forth for a new,
- 4:12you know, mushroom compound for trying to, you know, reduce.
- 4:16Get out of my office. No, no one.
- 4:21'S ever said that before? Excuse.
- 4:23Me. Well, sure, I'll.
- 4:27I'll. And he stands up.
- 4:30What did you say to me? I said no.
- 4:33Face down. What's the face down again?
- 4:37Cool plus reputation plus 1D10. As this is happening, I just
- 4:43make my way in while he's distracted.
- 4:46In front of you, you've got essentially three options.
- 4:49There's the window behind him, there's the back door that Retro
- 4:53came through, or there's the front door.
- 4:55You haven't checked that. The window behind him.
- 4:58All right, so the window behind him is directly behind his desk.
- 5:01As you look in, you can see him standing there facing retro.
- 5:04It is locked. Am I able to try to Jimmy it
- 5:13open or lock pick it open or? Sure.
- 5:18I will. I will attempt.
- 5:20Jim, 19. Yes, thank you.
- 5:24Pick lock 17. Yes, you effortlessly unlock
- 5:29this window. Iona.
- 5:31You're looking over her shoulder.
- 5:35It is unlocked. And you have done so silently
- 5:37while the Dean continues to argue with Retro in his office.
- 5:43What do you do now that it's open?
- 5:48I will quietly make my way in and start to pull out from my
- 5:54medical bag a sedative in in like a little hypo air hypo
- 6:00thingy. Great, it is 50 eddies.
- 6:07Damn. OK.
- 6:09Yeah, that. Seems expensive.
- 6:12We could. Just for a sedative that will
- 6:13knock someone out immediately. No, I mean.
- 6:15You could punch him in the head until he passes out, that's
- 6:18cheaper. True.
- 6:21We could. You're already facing him down.
- 6:23You could just knock him out. No, it's fine.
- 6:27I'll just go with this. This was the plan.
- 6:30You pay your pack for the sedative and it releases into a
- 6:34syringe. You step through the window and
- 6:39now you're standing right behind him.
- 6:43Listen, look, I understand that you're you're you're not getting
- 6:51full grade for your last degree was a bit of a hit.
- 6:55You had to make an example of someone and that was the curve.
- 6:58You had the lowest score. I don't care that it was 91.
- 7:03I'm sorry somebody had to get a low grade.
- 7:06Someone had to care. I cared.
- 7:10Could have affected everything about it, about the rest of my
- 7:12life. Probably did.
- 7:14I mean, it's not just that, it's also, you know, your other
- 7:18activities much recently is something having to do with the
- 7:22library. And I'm just tired.
- 7:26I'm just tired of you being a Dick.
- 7:28You know, at some point someone's really just going to
- 7:30have to show you what such a little prick you are.
- 7:35Excuse me now, this is this conversation has now distracted
- 7:40him enough that whatever you want to do, you gain a + 2
- 7:43because that's a good difference in numbers.
- 7:48Well I'm just hoping I'm distracting enough and saying a
- 7:51little prick for VV to knock him out.
- 7:56And on prick, I take the syringe and prick his like one of the
- 8:06the I'm trying to think like one of the veins, not the veins or
- 8:10like the arteries on his leg because I'm like kind of low to
- 8:13the ground like one of the. Oh, interesting.
- 8:17OK. Yeah.
- 8:19All right. Roll for it.
- 8:22OK. To jab him in the leg let's.
- 8:25See. Let's see.
- 8:26Let's see, let's see. Femoral artery.
- 8:29Thank you, The ephemeral artery on his leg Skulls.
- 8:35Also, Phoebe rolling a 17 on picklock is very high for you.
- 8:40That is very. Actually pretty good.
- 8:42There was very good. There was a very good roll.
- 8:44You rolled a fucking 9. That's why that went so well.
- 8:47Oh, OK, You rolled A9 again, rolling a 24 on medical tech.
- 8:53You stick him in the leg and he goes very pathetic way.
- 9:02Yes, very soon. Yeah.
- 9:03Ayona mimics him, mocking him as you watch this happen through
- 9:07the window. The Dean himself.
- 9:13I've just realized something, that this is set to the wrong
- 9:16thing. Can you see now, Ayona?
- 9:19Yes, yes I can. And so inside this room, you jab
- 9:23him in the leg and he flumps to the ground.
- 9:27Maybe I should roll Resist torture drugs to see if this
- 9:29goes badly. No objections then I'm going to
- 9:33do that. He does not roll high enough and
- 9:36he falls to the ground completely sedated.
- 9:41Completely sedated. OK, cool, that worked.
- 9:47Good job retro distracting him. Oh, it was my pleasure.
- 9:52Well, let's get this over with and teach this guy a lesson.
- 9:57And you push him onto his desk, push his chair out of the way.
- 10:02Are you on a deep guard? The window?
- 10:04Yeah. Yeah, I'm watching.
- 10:06Oh, I'm. My eyes are on this screen.
- 10:08You are not getting past me. OK, so you're going to watch
- 10:12that. Meanwhile, on the roof, Jeb and
- 10:15Vendel are installing a transponder.
- 10:17You. Know Vendel, I feel like I feel
- 10:23like we don't get a lot of one-on-one time, just me and you
- 10:26and. Yeah, Jim.
- 10:28You know, I just wanted to say that I think it's easy to forget
- 10:32that. That.
- 10:34You're your own person, you know you're not just like some side
- 10:38character to Iona's character sheet or balance sheet.
- 10:45Sorry. Right, right, right.
- 10:47I've got my own balance sheet. That's right.
- 10:50That's right. You know, you're your own
- 10:51person. You know, you got your own
- 10:53drives and motivations. And I'm just wondering.
- 10:56You know. What do?
- 10:57What do you want? Meanwhile, I'm like, you know,
- 11:00twisting the the bolting in a, a screw into the side and changing
- 11:05the things, clicking on the cable and all that while we're
- 11:10talking. Cool.
- 11:11Roll for that. You have the instructions that
- 11:14are printed out for you right after the last couple.
- 11:17Oh yeah, I'm following it to the letter.
- 11:19Yeah, make sure you screw A7. Please hold.
- 11:28Well, I mean, other than like working for for Iona, who
- 11:34honestly is the best boss I've ever had.
- 11:37I like drawing. I like to draw trees.
- 11:41Drawing, huh? I don't know how many times
- 11:43that's come up, but it's like a thing that I like to do.
- 11:46Sometimes I live stream it. But is that something that you
- 11:50know, you want to you want to keep that a hobby, You know, God
- 11:56chase my all right, Well, I guess it was not red wire to
- 12:02blue wire, but blue wire to red wire.
- 12:05And you take 4 HP damage. Jeb, just let me let me do it.
- 12:11I'm going to roll basic tag. OK, but don't think you're
- 12:15getting out of this. OK.
- 12:16I, I, I want to know, you know, it sounds like you got a passion
- 12:19for tunes of drawn, you know, for, for visual art.
- 12:22I'm just wondering, is that something you want to pursue,
- 12:24you know, as a career or you're just keeping that, you know?
- 12:27When? When I retire, you know, Oh.
- 12:30OK, OK. I rolled a 12 which is better
- 12:34than you, so although I I don't do an amazing job, I do fasten
- 12:37it to the side of the building. As long as no one comes up here
- 12:40to check it, I think we'll be fine, right, Jeb?
- 12:48You just give me a thumbs up. Yeah, no, I, I, you know, I
- 12:51just, I figured that that the scene was done.
- 12:55Oh. Jeb, roll evasion.
- 12:57You're wait, you're underneath the the satellite dish.
- 13:00Roll evasion. Jeb, don't, don't move.
- 13:02Careful, and you aptly dodge the satellite dish, skimming the
- 13:08side of it, and it makes kind of a shing noise and leaves a
- 13:11little dust trail on your hat but doesn't damage it.
- 13:14Oh, that. Was nice.
- 13:16Is that going to be OK? I.
- 13:18I think so. I think you just booped it.
- 13:19There's nothing wrong with the boop.
- 13:21OK. I booped Retro's duck once.
- 13:24It was Quackers. Did you get it?
- 13:29You booped his what? His duck.
- 13:31Oh, duck. Yeah, that's why Quackers was
- 13:33funny. Yeah, no, I understood.
- 13:37No, I mean no problem. No.
- 13:38With the feathers, you know, because he has a duck.
- 13:42Yeah, let's. Go by the Mallard.
- 13:44Well, I suppose we should. I suppose we should stay up
- 13:48here. Actually, I was going to say,
- 13:49maybe we get down there and see. How they're doing.
- 13:51I don't want to see the man's mouth being so shut.
- 13:53That sounds horrific. We've we've, we've taken a
- 13:56terrible turn. Well, I just figured maybe we
- 13:59can kind of poke our heads out the, you know, get down on, get
- 14:02down on prone and kind of peek our heads over the edge of the
- 14:05it's a roof when we can just kind of.
- 14:07That clouds pretty. Slyly see when they exit that
- 14:13torture Chamber of theirs. Yeah.
- 14:17Clouds are pretty, Jeb. They're very nice.

- 15:29Show us Saturday, January 31st. Let's make history.
- 15:45Well, time to pull out more medical equipment from my bag
- 15:50that will likely cost me where I get stitches, sutures, and the
- 16:02necessary tools required to suture somebody up.
- 16:07Hold on. Yes.
- 16:10You were interning as a mortician's aid.
- 16:14Yes. For how long?
- 16:17Several months. So you would have had to sew
- 16:22mouth shut. You would know the tools and the
- 16:26thread and the techniques to do that because you need to sell
- 16:30will a spouse shut that are you know in the essence of being
- 16:33presented. That so are you, are you saying
- 16:37that I would already have the materials?
- 16:39Of course. I mean, why would you have
- 16:41carried the those materials? You haven't worked at the morgue
- 16:43in years. I don't mind scaling a little
- 16:46bit of extra Yes, I do have the skills it's.
- 16:49Like you have that. It's like riding a bike.
- 16:52I'm able to pick it up once again, but no, I will.
- 16:56I will just. Favorite set of needles you like
- 16:58to use? Look, VV may be twisted, but
- 17:02she's not that twisted. It's fine.
- 17:08I will. Look, we got we got tons of
- 17:11money here. Sure.
- 17:13What's what's a little bit of I say it's not my little famous
- 17:17last words. The GM, we'll make a note of
- 17:21that. Yeah, I'm I'm going to get the
- 17:23the supplies needed from my auto transaction medical bag.
- 17:30Great, you get plus one to do the task because of your morgue
- 17:34experience. That is a good argument.
- 17:37Yes, good argument. OK, so let's see.
- 17:44What do you want from your bag? The sutures, the stitchers, the
- 17:52thread, like all the things that I need.
- 17:56Like. Do we want like a?
- 17:59Yeah. And wires.
- 18:03Get a stapler, we'll staple them.
- 18:06There is there is. There is a stapler on his desk
- 18:09if you want to use that. Oh my gosh, that's so messed up.
- 18:12No. One no one get enough grip
- 18:16flash, it just kind of stops in it.
- 18:18Yeah, we'll just, we'll do it the old fashioned way.
- 18:21So yeah, I'll get the thread and the the needle all.
- 18:25Right, Romy, What should we say? 2D6.
- 18:30It's very cool items. 2D6. So which method are you going to
- 18:35do? In total, that costs you 17
- 18:39eddies. OK, that's not bad.
- 18:42Yeah, it's just, it's essentially just a needle and
- 18:44thread. So it's not very expensive.
- 18:46There's like I, I, I know there's like three of them.
- 18:48I remember it was needle injection or needle injector,
- 18:53the musculature and sublingual. Oh, I didn't know you were an
- 19:00expert. Retro in In stitches in medical
- 19:07procedures. Look at that.
- 19:09Yeah. What was we had to do?
- 19:11I, I had some extra, you know, doctor stuff.
- 19:15I had to. I did keep my credits for my
- 19:18degrees. So like, yeah, you know, we've
- 19:21got to work on the cadavers and such.
- 19:23And you know, I remember doing the sublingual when you, you
- 19:27know, place the stitches through under the tongue securing the
- 19:32jaw. Or you could do.
- 19:33Retro roll stealth Oh. My God.
- 19:37I mean, I don't think it's going to be very high because I don't
- 19:39think I'm being very stealthy. Let's see, let's see how this
- 19:44goes. 18 All right, Phoebe, role perception or human perception,
- 19:52either, whichever you think is is best for the situation.
- 19:56One moment let. Me.
- 19:58Find there's do. You believe him?
- 20:03Oh my. God.
- 20:04You believe him as you watch him slyly slyly put his tile back
- 20:09into his pocket. You assume he is just checking
- 20:11his notifications and you believe him.
- 20:17Iona roll. Human perception or perception.
- 20:25Yeah. So the musculature searcher,
- 20:27that's when you go through the nasal septum and tie it through
- 20:29the lower jaw, usually used and combined with the sublingual
- 20:32searcher. Whereas the needle injector is
- 20:35just using barbed needles inserted into the maxilla or the
- 20:38upper jaw into the mandible, and then you twist the wires to
- 20:42secure them. Iona also believes that Retro
- 20:47just knows this well. I can only.
- 20:49I can only muffle muffle the. No, the windows open you can hit
- 20:52it. Oh.
- 20:54Yeah. I'm mostly watching this drone
- 20:57to see if it's getting any closer to us.
- 21:00You watch the drone lazily wobble through the air as it has
- 21:05trouble obtaining a a straight line since Retro repaired it
- 21:11incorrectly on purpose. Retro.
- 21:14I'm obviously doing a subcutaneous suture where I
- 21:18place it in the dermis layer beneath the epidermis and.
- 21:25Oh, I haven't heard of that one. I'm.
- 21:27I'm interested in seeing this one.
- 21:28Yeah. It's used to reduce tension
- 21:31between the superficial layers. So this is a common medical
- 21:37technique that we did at the morgue, so.
- 21:41Roll surgery? Do you do anything to keep him
- 21:46permanently quiet? Are you just doing a symbolic
- 21:49sewing a man's mouth shut? Just the symbolic sewing of the
- 21:52man's mouth shut. Not even.
- 21:55Not my best. I mean, that's a good, a decent
- 21:56role, but I could do better. You could do better 15 All
- 22:00right. You do do this quite well.
- 22:05However, unfortunately, Jeb was looking over the edge of the
- 22:11building that's. True here.
- 22:13That is not high enough to not to.
- 22:16That is not high enough to keep the blood stemmed properly.
- 22:19And blood pours all over this man's desk, Jeb, on the winds of
- 22:25the evening. You can smell the distinctive
- 22:28Tang of iron in the air. Well, it looks like they've
- 22:34started, so I guess that's good. Oh shit.
- 22:38The subtle the flavour of BBQ sauce fills your nostrils and
- 22:43taste buds in the back of your throat contracts with that
- 22:47sensation of hunger. Hey.
- 22:50Van, do you hungry? Roll, resist torture drugs beat
- 22:56a 15. You jump off the side of the
- 23:00building. Hold on running towards the
- 23:06still alive body of this man and you are running past Iona.
- 23:10Iona, do you do anything? Jeb, slow down.
- 23:14What does Jeb just barrel roll? Through the window.
- 23:17Do you do anything to stop him? You can see that he has his
- 23:20normal bloodlust. I'm not.
- 23:24I'm not going to touch him. You're not going to touch him,
- 23:27All right? Does Ben tell do anything?
- 23:28I might stick my foot out to turn him, actually.
- 23:30OK, sure. Yes, roll to do that.
- 23:32I'm going to drip. Through the glass and just.
- 23:36Move the windows open. I'm just going to, yeah. 17 Yes,
- 23:50that is enough, Jeb. You fall over roll athletics to
- 23:55not do something stupid. You meet interesting.
- 24:02You catch Jeb and he does sort of a weird flip and turn and
- 24:06lands seated on the bench outside the building.
- 24:09Oh. Man.
- 24:12Bendel comes up to you and slaps you across the face.
- 24:16I I got up, get out of the way. I got ow Vandell, what the hell?
- 24:22You. Can't.
- 24:22Eat the. Guy, they're, they're doing
- 24:25something in there. I wasn't going to, I wasn't
- 24:28going to eat them. When you think I'm some sort of
- 24:29crazy cannibal person, I that's only if things get really out of
- 24:35control. Most of the time I do a pretty
- 24:36good job of just kind of laughing up the blow that's on
- 24:39the crime scene. Phoebe, you can continue.
- 24:42We stop, Jeb. If.
- 24:45You could just if you could just get maybe just like a bit like a
- 24:47bow or. Something.
- 24:50Just take a little taste or something.
- 24:52I'm just real hungry. Machine.
- 24:55And get some people. It's all right.
- 25:01It's pretty good. And we?
- 25:04Iona, can you please come to the Dean's office?
- 25:08Iona to the Dean's office all. Right.
- 25:11I'm not crawling through a window, so I'm going to walk.
- 25:14I walk around to the front. You walk around to the front and
- 25:18retro on the desk is a button to unlock the front door.
- 25:21Oh, I wonder what this button does.
- 25:25The front door unlocks roll evasion.
- 25:28Retro roll evasion. I have to roll in.
- 25:31Yes. OK.
- 25:34You forgot that the desk is covered in blood. 17 You avoid
- 25:39getting blood on your hand. I know you step into the office.
- 25:45And you called for me. Yes, I need either you to type
- 25:52something up on the Dean's computer here, or I need your
- 25:57glove wear. Your glove wear.
- 26:02But I I only dictate I don't type so it.
- 26:05I suppose you could borrow the gloves.
- 26:07Yeah, yeah, I just need, I just need the the latex gloves.
- 26:11Oh. For the apps, it's your
- 26:12creation. What?
- 26:13What here I. I I.
- 26:16Unclip them from my wrists so I hand them over.
- 26:20Oh, thank you. You're welcome.
- 26:24Shit, I forgot what you had to do to make make.
- 26:27If you OK, So what you do it turn it a little bit because you
- 26:31the injector needs to be right over the centre of your palm.
- 26:35All right. OK.
- 26:37And then if you squeeze three times, don't squeeze any more
- 26:40than that, because then you'll get too much latex on your hands
- 26:42and it won't dry. OK.
- 26:46Wave them around a little bit to dry faster.
- 26:49There you go, gloves. Perfect.
- 26:54Thank you, Iona. Thank you.
- 26:57It's your creation. Cute.
- 27:03And you're in this office and there are two sofas that seem
- 27:06very clean. You're on the other side of the
- 27:07room. You can kind of smell the blood
- 27:09now. It's a little stronger inside.
- 27:10And on the back wall of this room there are a row of
- 27:14cabinets. I guess we should just lay him
- 27:26down on one of the couches, one of the sofas.
- 27:29We'll put him on one of the sofas, just pat his little head
- 27:33and leave him. All right, that's that.
- 27:37He's unconscious, so you do that for free.
- 27:40There's three of you. Not that Iona touches him, but
- 27:42still. Clean up the the desk a little
- 27:45bit. There you go.
- 27:46All right, roll for that. I'd like to go on a Dean's
- 27:49computer. Of course you do.
- 27:53Let's see. What should?
- 27:55I roll. I'm just thinking what I want to
- 28:03roll here. 14 You're rolling forgery.
- 28:10I just I'm my logic is I want to make it look clean, like nobody
- 28:18was here. There's no blood.
- 28:23Sure, nothing was left on the site.
- 28:27You do a a mediocre job. A deep DNA scan will will reveal
- 28:32that it is the Dean's blood, although it's his office so and
- 28:38he's not dead. And that's that.
- 28:43But you do clean up the desk and.
- 28:45Now it's the smell of blood. OK, we are done.
- 28:49Not yet. Not yet.
- 28:53No, at first I'd like to of course access the computer and
- 29:01see if I can get on there, go to the files well.
- 29:06Electronic security tech. While I'm doing that, I'm also
- 29:08going to reach into my jacket and I'm going to pull out the
- 29:14half dime bag of synth coke. Interesting.
- 29:22I was going to snort it but I have to use it this for this
- 29:24now. 26 Yes, you get access to his computer, including all of
- 29:31the records for his insurance scam, the hard evidence that you
- 29:36need to fully incriminate him, as well as his personal search
- 29:43history and the full plan he had.
- 29:47You even redact Rams Head and the professor from Yeah the
- 29:52evidence. Purely, purely green.
- 29:56Yeah. I'd like to compile all that,
- 30:00including the photographic evidence that Jeb took.
- 30:04Which, Jeb, you're the one inspired me to do this.
- 30:08And I'm going. Oh.
- 30:11No, I I was trying to think of something to say, but I have.
- 30:14Nothing. To say, let's finish this part,
- 30:19I'm going to hand the bag. I hand it back to Phoebe.
- 30:22I say, Phoebe, go ahead. Just dip your finger in just a
- 30:27little bit and just a little bit on the like interior of the
- 30:32nose. And then like leave the bag like
- 30:36half kind of split on the couch, table, something nearby.
- 30:42What's what's the logic here? Retro.
- 30:46Oh, according to improv plan, I'm going to Create an e-mail
- 30:54that states everything that the Dean has done with their illegal
- 30:59plan, writing it in a very poetic way like I think he would
- 31:05and using like the four humours and how he felt too choleric.
- 31:10And that, you know, after finally, you know, tasting a bit
- 31:14of the divine with the synth coke, he is reminded of his ways
- 31:18and has decided to turn himself in and take a vow of silence.
- 31:24The. 4 humors. So, Phoebe, do you put some
- 31:32synth coke underneath this man's nose?
- 31:35Sure, I'll play along. You put a little bit of synth
- 31:40coke underneath this man's nose as Retro finishes his manifesto.
- 31:46Oh, it doesn't have to be under it.
- 31:48I can't be under the nose. You gotta.
- 31:50It's too late now. It's too late now.
- 31:52I said in there, I didn't say under.
- 31:56Unfortunately, Dean Grindwall fails his resist torture drugs
- 32:05role and you hear him sniff and his eyes go wide.
- 32:11His pupils dilate and he looks at you.
- 32:13Vivi. What's that?
- 32:22All I'm hearing is sniffing. What should concentration 11 He
- 32:38starts to panic as he feels his mouth has been sewn shut and you
- 32:41watch him faint again. He has now seen your face.
- 32:48What? This is what I was trying to
- 32:55avoid. Jeb turns the like peeks in
- 32:57through the corner. How's it going over there?
- 33:00Everything. Oh, is he supposed to be awake?
- 33:03I mean, at least he got some in the system.
- 33:04Now he was sniffing a lot. So at least that's one of the
- 33:07things I was hoping for. But with that e-mail, I send it
- 33:11out to the entire faculty, staff, students of the
- 33:17university, as well as every single major news source in
- 33:24Night City and. Alum.
- 33:28What? And alum.
- 33:31Oh, and alum. Yes, yes, of course.
- 33:33And alum. Dear Ayana.
- 33:34Yeah, yeah, yeah, that's a good idea.
- 33:36But he has seen our face. So do we, do we like, gouge his
- 33:41eyes out or don't you just leave?
- 33:45Him, I mean. What's on VVV?
- 33:47Are we planning on adding on to this?
- 33:49I think we've done enough. I mean, let's be honest, his
- 33:54reputation is tarnished. He's doing synth coke and while
- 33:58being at work tried to set library on fire just for money.
- 34:03I mean, who's really going to believe this dude?
- 34:08Well. Did you hear sand?
- 34:10Yeah. OK, Sometimes I forget and then
- 34:14it just sits in my. What's that part of your e-mail?
- 34:18It's. Like giraffes?
- 34:20Oh, it's your giraffes. Man those.
- 34:23Drafts the graveyard of emails. That's why there's always a wind
- 34:27going through there. A cyber wind.
- 34:32I'm going to also take off the latex glove gift that I have
- 34:38made for Iona and give them back to them.
- 34:40Here you go. And then I'm going to peel off
- 34:42the latex and put it in my pocket.
- 34:45You know, because now only his fingerprints are on there, none
- 34:49of ours. And we've already cleaned up all
- 34:52our other traces aside from his blood, so there is no other
- 34:55trace. So it's really our word against
- 34:56his. And he already has a vendetta
- 34:59against me, so it's not going to work in his favor.
- 35:02The best thing he can do is just really take this and go quiet,
- 35:07metaphorically. Right.
- 35:09Should we? We've done everything we need
- 35:11to. Should we just go?
- 35:13Absolutely. Any curiosity VV Was that the
- 35:16first time you sewed a man's mouth shut?
- 35:21It was in fact not 'cause. I was just going to say it looks
- 35:26good for a first time. You used to do this all the time
- 35:30with the morgue. Right.
- 35:33No. OK, that makes sense.
- 35:34Yeah, yeah, but but. Obviously to the dead.
- 35:39Right. But to the dead, of course.
- 35:42Of course. To the dead, though, Phoebe,
- 35:45You've only ever done it to the dead before this, right?
- 35:48Only to the dead, yes, right. OK, Leah.
- 36:08Next time on no latency. Of course, that's the part
- 36:16they'd be talking about. That's the news for you.
- 36:19Why would they scare you like that?
- 36:21Why are they focusing on this? One, it wasn't my idea this
- 36:23time. Why?
- 36:23Did you say it wasn't? Stay home, buy things online.
- 36:26A date is. Don't ask Reddit.
- 36:30When two people who are. Were you guys going for coffee?
- 36:33That's the point of the date you.
- 36:34Shouldn't refer to Reddit? Interested in each other more
- 36:38than just like the base level of interest.
- 36:40For your answers. You know, get to know each other
- 36:43better. Sometimes it could be 15 minutes
- 36:45with a bunch of shots of tequila.
- 36:46Maybe ask Jeeves. So he called you.
- 36:48Mommy once, what are you going to do?
- 36:51Get to business, shall we? OK, any idea what the first step
- 36:55is? I'm sorry, I was just having a
- 36:56look around. Oh.
- 36:58My God. I mean, he's down 100 bucks, you
- 37:01know what I mean? From that last bet that we made,
- 37:03that I won, that you just gave me.
- 37:05Come on. No, I don't know what you're
- 37:06talking about. I'm trying to do my job here,
- 37:08Sir. Can.
- 37:08I run out to help Jeb. Yeah.
- 37:33Oh well, retro, I'm obviously doing a subcutaneous because.
- 37:39I. Can't even say right I mean.
- 37:43Obviously no retro. I'm obviously doing a
- 37:48subcutaneous suture where I place it in the dermis layer
- 37:53beneath the epidermis, and I'm sorry.
- 38:01Really getting a shout out. Really.
- 38:05Googling sponsored by WebMD? Not really.
- 38:11Now, out of curiosity, was that the first time you've sewed?
- 38:16Man, Man, that's the first time you showed up.
- 38:22He's. A scat man.
