upcoming year and the next quarter always looking for new
0:48
news. Which were framing, we're not

1:04
keep, but frame him before he dies.
1:06
So he takes the blame in that. All right.
1:07
I just don't want him to be alive to negate the framing.
1:11
You also have to frame a coffin. I mean, might be coffin for kill

1:55
He's already said it. It's hard to resist.
1:58
Torture drugs, while he's doing it.
1:59
I'm saying this. Why would you do that?
2:02
So waste your string them with fine.
2:05
Plebeians, you're fine. Your world is 12, you're okay,
2:08

Detective shows, I'm just in case is everyone armed.
2:44
He puts his jacket back and you see a hand cannon on this hips.
2:50
Oh, I check in my bag. Yes, I have my gun.
2:55
I don't know what you're talking about.
2:59
Okay, great. Good, good.
3:01
I'm just just, so we're clear. I'm not very good with social
3:04
cues. The wink means you have a gun.
3:06
Yes, that is that is exactly what.
3:09
Talking about and is that the continuation of the thing?
3:12
And I meant to not believe that. No, no, what is it?
3:16
I've never heard of that. I'm now, I'm confused, I know
3:21
but this is kind of seems like a Bruce thing.
3:25
They do have a gun. Okay.
3:27
They're just, they're joking, right?
3:30
Okay. All right, my little cowpoke,
3:33
have you ever joked before? And I'm not very good at jokes.
3:39
Your mom's not very good at jokes.
3:41
I know I'm a adopted. I don't have a brother.
3:44
Yeah, I think this is now on the edge of torture so probably stop
3:50
this 17. Absolutely fine.
4:06
And you guys go upstairs. Leave the bar exits through
4:10
crystals by joy and outside waiting.
4:13
For all of you is a biotechnical vehicle this is the big like,
4:21
It's black. So happy by technically and
4:23
gray, lettering on the back doors, is it nice?
4:27
It's very nice. They are not a level one, corpo.
4:30
So it is a nice vehicle if I just wanted to make sure it was
4:32
worth their time. Babe, open the door for their
4:34
compatriots. Been Del jumps ahead of you and
4:37
opens the door. He go.
4:39
Well, thank you. It's my tits.
4:41
So my job. So please, please have a seat.
4:43
This is certainly nicer than all operational costs.
4:46
I'm good. I've already gotten in Max will
4:49
be the last one to enter. Too bad because April and
4:54
dependable. Oh, my goodness.
4:55
What are you doing? Is just get in the van.
4:58
I feel okay, I'm going to get in because otherwise, I mean, I
5:03
mean I mean I'm here then and gets in and closes the door
5:08
behind them and smile, did you leave marks outside the door
5:15
reopens and Max sort of steps in a little dejectedly?
5:20
I'm not used to getting Honest open for me either way.
5:23
So sorry. Other ones to my job like perps.
5:29
This is your supervisor, right? Oh yeah.
5:34
Nice man. Thomas a pretty scary April is
5:39
kind of scary. I was not expect like, so
5:41
jovial, but also incredibly intimidating.
5:46
Yes, don't so talking about? That's that.
5:51
There was a joke. Also friend.
5:52
Oh yes. So the the was there Crow think
5:55
that oh God, the grow lab, where we're headed to is?
5:59
Where they'll be live-streaming the experiment.
6:02
I think if we Touch the experiment and it goes wrong.
6:05
It'll make mr. Smith, look bad.
6:06
And they'll either kill him or make it really easy or
6:09
justifiable for us to kill him ourselves.
6:11
Okay, but how are we going to sabotage it without including B?
6:15
And well, if we sabotage it in a way that it can just kind of
6:21
implode on its own, if we're at the presentation which isn't the
6:26
grow lab when it goes off, we're nowhere near and we've got an
6:29
alibi because we're surrounded by Witnesses yes.
6:32
But when the Press, We don't want.
6:36
Let me go back and excuse me. Let me go back and read this to
6:41
you. This says, I do not recommend
6:46
mixing these drugs, the subjects body just keeps growing and
6:50
eventually just becomes a violent angry, massive teeth and
6:52
flesh there so many extra teeth. It's horrific.
6:57
So as long as we make sure that that is not the outcome.
7:01
My ex-girlfriend I've been told that was also a joke.
7:06
Ha, ha ha. Was it wink!
7:09
Oh God. I just want to make sure that B
7:14
has nothing to do with With this.
7:16
Okay. And it, but really, we could
7:18
probably said it looks like a higher dose is also a problem,
7:21
so if you go with that, right? So you arrive at the body, fuel
7:27
grow lab compound. It is just on the edge of night
7:31
City, a bit like the arisaka lab.
7:33
It's under an underpass, a kind of hidden off to the side and it
7:37
look like it has this big wall around it.
7:40
But in the car vendor shared with you, the floor plan of the
7:43
location, there are five buildings Building where they
7:46
hold test subjects security, the lab and then the testing and
7:50
observation building. And finally, the bathroom all
7:53
separate buildings. There was one entrance to the
7:55
Courtyard, probably because if anything goes wrong, they're
7:58
probably going to Raze it to the ground.
8:00
So I see vendor there's These five buildings.
8:05
But there there's just a hazard sign over one of them with No
8:12
Label. Yeah, that's the testing room.
8:15
Great. That's where they'll stream
8:17
from. It has like an airlock building
8:20
on the top of it and that'll let the test subjects through and if
8:24
there's any problem, be easier for the scientists not get hurt.
8:28
I think there's defenses in there and carrots and things,
8:32
all right. And I suppose that there are
8:36
probably people here, aren't there.
8:38
There's a guard outside. Alright, I'm going to start, I'm
8:43
just going to step out of the vehicle step out the vehicle
8:46
into the street. And there in front of you, is
8:48
the big wall. It has the body fuel grow logo
8:51
on the outside. Just next to the double doors,
8:53
which are big enough for a vehicle to drive into and
8:56
outside of the two. Double doors is a guard.
8:58
Just on his tile. Doing some Doom.
9:00
Scrolling kind of bored. Okay, I Walk up to the door and
9:05
I will stop. And I will flash him my employee
9:08
identification, and just wait for him to open the door for me,
9:15
rolling human perception 8, it just looks your badge and goes
9:20
all pushes a button on his tile and the two gates open and it
9:24
allows you entrance into the compound.
9:28
The people, you may sit back down as they see the door.
9:32
Start opening April, also jumps out of the car.
9:36
Oh I'm with them. Yeah.
9:39
Me too. What if I get caught?
9:46
So he rolls human perception. Two more times 1011 for April,
9:52
and then you step out of the car giving off the biggest.
9:56
I'm not a cop Vibe I've ever seen.
10:02
You caught. No, I'm just a really big fan of
10:07
those old movies. You see them all.
10:10
Fuck. Are you a new?
10:11
Our rocker boy? Real persuasion find good excuse
10:16
though. Like that hate those rocker
10:18
boys. So obnoxious Ward, you trouble
10:21
with one. That's weird.
10:23
Not my choice. I don't always.
10:26
You can always choose. You know, who travels with you?
10:28
Yeah. Oh yeah, I was supposed to mean.
10:31
Who's like gate Joyce? It gate gue, do all.
10:34
This is boring. Ah, I hear ya just scrolling
10:39

10:43

10:46
You are annoying fan again. Definitely people, ye
10:49

10:51
your own problem. Well, not thank you.
10:56
Thank you. I walk into the gates, I follow,
11:01
but flashing, like another big smile, big network 54 smile.
11:05
It's about bias still. Doom, scrolling is not look up.
11:09
I'll just quickly tip my hat as he walked by he, very much is
11:14
done with this job and the gate closes behind you.
11:18
You are now in the open courtyard of the body fuel grow
11:23
lab compound. Where is this?
11:25
PPE were supposed to be putting on?
11:28
Where is that located? Cated.
11:29
There's some insecurities and there's going to be some in in
11:33
the bathroom as well. Let's go to the bathroom.
11:37
Okay, are we all going together? But I will go first.
11:41
Okay, safety in numbers. I will first sanitized before I
11:45
go in. Can I have some absolutely thank

11:57
Again again, did I quit the first time?
12:02
Yes, big. Very that's something bad's
12:06
about to happen with the sanitizers.
12:07
Was that what that means something bad's gonna happen.
12:11
I sanitized, I sanitized April and then I leave them to go into
12:17
the restroom. Here I go.
12:20
Okay inside, there are five stalls and only three sinks
12:25
trash can and a Length mirror. Each of the Stalls has a
12:29
built-in, decontamination shower and PPE locker with a biosuit
12:35
available or just a mask if you prefer.
12:38
Okay, so I am okay, this is very clean.
12:43
It's my a Technica. I do it, super clean in here.
12:46
I just have a little bit of trauma recently.
12:49
So I am opening the first door with just my pinky finger to
12:53
break the the airlock seal. I open it.
12:57
Close it. I feel a little bit of air pulse
13:00
out of the of the door as the seal is released.
13:03
I remove all of my clothes, put them in my bag, over the locker,
13:08
put them in the locker. Turn on the decontamination
13:10
shower, and I stay in there a little bit longer than I should.
13:15
Well, the record everybody, this is iona's official first shower
13:19
ever on the show on the show. Your oldest feel the cleanest
13:29
person in the whole of Knights moving and, you know, proud of
13:33
you. You do notice that ion has been
13:36
gone for a while, I'm going to follow back.
13:39
I mean, after after it's been like a little while, you could
13:42
just hear the decontamination it's a, it's a powder, right?
13:47
Yeah. You can just hear it the, you
13:50
know, good podcasting over the powder being blown out the top.
13:55
All right in there, there are several things phone.
13:59
Wonderful, just decontaminating first.
14:01
Look what time it is. I bet I should do the same
14:04
thing. Yes, oh, absolutely.
14:05
That's a wonderful truth. Sounds wonderful.
14:09
So I go Into another Stalin. Similarly, but, like, not quite
14:13
as carefully. I just opened things and do you
14:16
open things? The instructions are really
14:18
easy. There's a, you know, all of the
14:21
locker, is there to put your things in.
14:22
If you want to leave stuff there, don't necessarily think
14:26
that that's very good idea. But you may want to anyway.
14:29
And there's also either just a mask or a full medical bodysuit
14:35
medical and a. Yeah, me too.

Hi. I brought I brought Max in here.
15:06
I thought it was weird if we just stood outside.
15:07
Yeah, everybody should put on a All biosuit that way, we're less
15:11
recognizable. And yeah, I thought.
15:13
So after guy on the fucking gate bottle was a car already.
15:16
Yeah, it's probably the Trilby. It's true.
15:22

Okay. It's all right.
15:41

16:03
Fortunately? So that's a person, a grooming
16:07

16:09
to be either personal grooming or acting.
16:11
I have really high personal grooming.
16:15
Yes, you do this. I'm going to be very groomed as
16:18
a PBE person who belongs here. Okay, may I roll for
16:24
bureaucracy. If you, if you would like to
16:27
roll for bureaucracy, you can you can also roll for acting as
16:31
well. Wonderful Bjork.
16:33
See you rolled a 20? Yes.
16:35
You look like a bio Technica scientist.
16:40
I have, I'm leaving my bag in the locker and locking it behind
16:45
me. Taking the key.
16:46
However, I am keeping my electric whip.
16:49

16:56
Okay. And do you taking your gun?

23:29
lab and the door is shut and lesser locked your shot.
23:33
You know, from the floor plan that there is a back door to
23:37
this and an office. Inside some equipment quickly, I
23:42
am going to feed risky my ID card, right so he can
23:49
manufacture a code. So something similar to like
23:54
beep beep on a door but is not mine.
23:56
Do you want me to call Phillip so he can run that program
23:59
through risky. Yes.
24:00
Yeah. Yes.
24:01
Okay. Oh.
24:02
This is risky and I pull this robotic spider out of my suit
24:08
that was intact like this before it clinicals around.
24:11
I own a like a tarantula. I reach forward to shake Risky's
24:14
hand. He shakes it shakes your finger
24:16
with one tight. Nice to me.
24:18
It just puts us a little finger on your feet and nice to meet
24:21
you, okay? Look hey.
24:26
Hey Siri call Philip Your device gives you a frown and goes
24:35
that's ringing philibert I can see you on the tile.
24:45
This is a video call. Hi, you don't have to say finger
24:49
guns when you do finger guns. Or so wink.
24:55
When you wink, what do you need? Oh yes, Captain interesting.
25:00
I do need you to I'm going to feed my ID card through risky if
25:05
you want to reprogram. So when I scan my ID it does say
25:10
Jennifer Rodriguez Yes, and I take off, I'm going to take off
25:16
my hood real fast. If you want to take a screen
25:17
capture of what I look like right now to put that on there.
25:28
Thank you. Well this better be a damn good
25:32
ID card. Let's do this next thing we're
25:35
going to do become the gym and it gets two sets of holy shit.
25:40
Oh no, your big hairy pistol. Sorry.
25:46
Just excited. I mean I know it's a good head
25:50
shot but it's kind of an overreaction.
25:54
I mean you always had shot at the end with a hairy pistol I
25:57
mean move quickly on All right. So I've got your really good
26:00
head shot and now I'm going to roll torturing oh dear.
26:06
I'm gonna say it's a re-roll because of the really good head
26:08
shot. Okay.
26:11
Hi not very good. That's 1904 the re-roll.
26:16
So, yes, you now have an ID that will work.
26:21
Great work today. That's fine.
26:26
I don't want me. I won't need it pass this
26:28
evening are. All right, thank you, Phillip.
26:32
I'm not very good. The phone calls.
26:34
Love you. I hang up and you now have an ID
26:37
card. That will open the basic doors
26:39
in here. But not the testing Bay, that
26:41
requires special access. Okay.
26:44
Beeps door opens, do you want to look around inside before we
26:47
going? Yes, I will stand at the doorway
26:50
next to the yardstick. You don't really notice anyone
27:00
in the room and you just scroll. So you're so, you're so excited
27:04
about the door opening. There's this little thing in the
27:06
back of your head where you've gone through doors, that open
27:09
automatically after you beat them so much without even
27:11
thinking you step in the room. Okay.
27:14
Unfortunate because you rolled a fail.
27:15
You also trip over and fall over and you lose 1.
27:18
HP me out you. Okay.
27:23
Yes. I'm just getting old.
27:25
Oh and out comes in and I'm so sorry.
27:27
I just took care of your knees. Well, the human one, just take
27:31
care of it. Yeah, I have to oil the It's
27:33
weird. I just weird.
27:35
Well I mean I guess it's not that weird because you know
27:37
joints need lubrication to and that's what happens when you get
27:40
old is that you oh god, that hurt so bad you lose lubrication
27:45
in your joints and that's how you develop arthritis.
27:48
Yes. So while that's going on
27:50
perception, check from April and from Max please, yes, I see
27:56
everything behind my shades. Yes, Max.
27:58
You see everything in this room. A few things that you notice
28:01
about the room that you've entered.
28:02
You've entered The lab in the compound and on the left hand
28:06
side of the door, near the wall. There is a guard standing guard.
28:11
On the right side of the room, there is a large machine of some
28:14
description. There's a scientist standing in
28:16
front of this machine. In the very top right hand
28:19
corner of the room is a large tube that goes from the floor to
28:22
the ceiling and there is a tube-like indentation in it.
28:25
That has a sealed Shield thing on the front is a big computer
28:29
full of chemicals and other accoutrements.
28:33
Or creating drugs and then three Fabricators that make said
28:37
drugs, a different levels of intensity or experimentation.
28:41
And on the left side of the room is an exit to behind the
28:43
building and the door to the office.
28:46
I purposefully wasn't listening to any of that.
28:50
I was purposely only listening to half of that, good job.
28:53
Hey Vera in character after his backup, Maxwell proton.
29:01
Say so might want to watch start with putting any attention on
29:06
you with that and there's a guard over there so it's fine.
29:09
I work here. Okay, and you work here too.
29:13
Yeah, I love working here. Wink gotta stop saying wink.
29:18
Okay, so listen, mmm. You April?
29:22
Hello. You're still a scientist?
29:24
Yes, I love being a scientist. Great vanille.
29:27
You're still my assistant Max. You are also my assistant.
29:30
Okay science. My favorite.
29:32
What exactly are we looking for you?
29:36
Well, I believe we're trying to get access into the staging
29:40
area. For the lab is that GM is their
29:42
lab equipment in the court of the, the airlock area, like
29:47
everything's already on the outside that area is just for
29:49
putting the Checked into so that you can push them into the room,
29:53
okay? The the place where they
29:54
fabricate, the drugs is a machine, you actually recognize
29:57
once you get up from your knee it's over here on the right
30:00
there are three Fabricators connected to it as a large big
30:03
box that's full of chemicals that it can automatically
30:06
combined into whatever way and it will transfers through a tube
30:09
and the only person in this room had who had have any inkling,
30:12
what's inside that tube is Iona sir worm in that tube?
30:17
Maybe God. Just, I'm going to fold my hands
30:21
behind my back in a very professional manner.
30:25
As I'm just observing, I'm going to each fabricator and
30:28
inspecting. I go to the second fabricator
30:31
and I inspect and I motion to the rest of the crew.
30:35
I pointed a little thing and I go.
30:37
Hmm. Does this look like the right
30:41
calibration to you now? We should definitely get that
30:43
checked. Yes, yes, mr.
30:45
Hanna merely or says something else great.
30:48
Yes, Rock. Write that down, take a pen.
30:51
Why do you think scientist? Mmm.
30:53
Wink quite scientific, right? However I'm not sure if it's
30:58
truly the kind of science that is needed for this project.
31:02
Indeed, do you concur? Yes, I concur.
31:04
I'm gonna go over to the tube. All right, so you go over to the
31:09
And next to the indentation that comes out of the tube is a red
31:13
button. I love a red button.
31:16
I turn to the scientist. Yeah, in the room that doesn't
31:19
know. Not to assure the one that was
31:21
working here. Very in character.
31:25
I'm ready. I'm unfamiliar with this part of
31:30
the machine. I don't seem to have it on my
31:33
blueprint here. What is this?
31:36
What does this button do? That, that button, that one
31:41
reveals the, the Catalyst object as posted in the schematics for
31:47
the device. Oh, I must have an outdated
31:50
version of the schematics. It's the normal Catalyst for all
31:54
of our body film projects. It's one.
31:56
It that one's W. 47 or 48? Interesting times.
32:03
Okay. Wonderful.
32:04
Thank you so much. You know that the thing?
32:08
Yes, you Don't have to say it out loud.
32:10
I dunno. Okay, but you here for the event
32:13
tonight, my have to do any other.
32:16
Okay? Well if you want to walk me
32:18
through exactly, as you would do for the presentation tonight,
32:21
I'm here to make sure that you are up to par that all of the
32:23
equipment up to par. And my team here will be taking
32:26
notes the whole time and asking questions like shareholders,
32:29
would this be role for the meeting next week?
32:35
Yes, let's let's turn on our eyes.
32:38
Please. Okay.
32:40
And I'll do first perhaps start rolling.
32:44
Okay? So what we do with the device is
32:47
we set it up with various do strengths for the presentation
32:53
as depicted by dr. Hamilton, we are not to exceed
32:57
7.3% with a variance of point seven percent.
33:04
What happens if you go above it, What's your classification
33:09
number because I can't answer that unless you're above are
33:12
blue. I am I above blue.
33:16
Am I not? I'm not above, I own is above
33:18
blue. Oh yeah, I didn't know because
33:20
we talked about the that I can't get into certain to ask when it
33:24
gets all the way down to read but hasn't access to any black
33:26
project. Great great, great.
33:28
Oh, right, yes. Okay, so yes.
33:30
I flash my card. Yes.
33:33
As in the last report I think it's report 47 and it causes Is
33:38
it can cause death so as part of the presentation, we're going to
33:41
avoid that 4.5%. And then we'll have a slightly
33:48
stronger ones who like wow them at the end of the project at
33:52
about 6% and everything is properly calibrated to those
33:56
exact measurements for the first and second dosage.
33:59
Yes, the first two machines are doing five percent, we've got
34:01
one for spare and then the third one on the end that ones doing
34:05
the 6.1 percent Great interesting.
34:10
Smith's going to be by to check all the results.
34:12
Hamilton told me to fake it, and put numbers before, it's going
34:15
to be 16, it's going to be 5, 15 Point, whatever, and so on, and
34:22
then when I leave, I meant to delete, I don't know how you
34:26
would say no to this. Now I know it's an easy job.
34:30
I changed numbers and make fluids.
34:31
Go through an animal we made. Yeah.
34:34
You want to see it? Yes, I would love to Press the
34:38
button, the red button, isolate the eye opens the times, not as
34:45
it's not very special, I press the red button and fat ugly
34:49
press the button. What appears as a large to two
34:54
pieces of metal separating, their inner tube floating in
34:56
fluid. Is this worm thing snaked into a
35:00
bunch of Tubes? She's as great as that guy's
35:03
ugly. It's this one bigger than the
35:05
last one slightly. Yes, it has.
35:08
One big round mouth and one. I like a lamprey like a lamprey.
35:13
Well, I will say that. I am satisfied now.
35:19
Do we have somebody triple checking your your numbers?
35:23
After you bring Smith in the triple-check of the numbers is
35:28
in the observation bang. And the, all the scientists have
35:34
been informed to undercuts Dosage by Hamilton wonderful.
35:42
Well thank you. It's good to know I'm happy.
35:46
That should know that because if you get it wrong we could you
35:50
know get fired. Oh yes.
35:51
Absolutely. I'm going to go to the
35:53
observation deck and make sure that those programs to make sure
35:58
that those numbers get changed and get reverted back to the
36:02
five percent of the 6.1 percent are actually Place.
36:06
Well, I've got one of these charity case.
36:09
So this and the other one, if you use those it unlocks all the
36:14
fucking doors. So make sure that if there's an
36:17
emergency you call from me, hmm, head of security and what
36:22
scientists? Mmm, it's a security head of
36:25
security scientist. What, and what was your name?
36:28
My name is George. All right, George, thank you,
36:31
George dr. Jordan, thank you dr.
36:35
George Did you need anything else?
36:40
That's our first thing, George, thank you so much.
36:42
All right, well, I'm gonna keep working and also you've got the
36:46
memo nobody if you're buying a property whatsoever.
36:49
Absolutely you got it, you guys back to his work, he has no
36:53
reason to suspect. You are here for anything else.
36:55
Apart from this incredibly important day for shareholders.
36:57
So he expects new visitors today.
36:59
Great. So I guess we're just going to
37:01
the observation baby, whatever you say ma'am do we?
37:04
We're not we're not we don't need to go there.
37:06
This is the observation they under a higher security.
37:10
Do I need to call the security officer?
37:13
Now, know there's a lab office. I think it's over there, but
37:17
what the other end of the lab? Why don't you come said, no, I'm
37:20
just faint judges. Want to make sure you've got
37:22
everything you need from. The does the GM want me to go to
37:25
the lab office? No, I just wanted to know if you
37:28
wanted to explore the rest of this building before you love.
37:30
No always saw the worm, let's leave.
37:35
I think I see. Seen enough of this guy.
37:38
I see you later. Bye, George, goodbye.
37:42
I hit the red button to close the tube as we leave.
37:48
I love a red button. April, I'm going to need you to
37:51
deal with that. Sure, of course.
37:53
No April. Of course, I am giving you
37:59
plenty that has to stay under wraps at the whims, a big secret
38:06
great. It's deleted.
38:09
I hope you understand the consequences of that action.
38:12
It's okay deleted. Hold on, I have until I love
38:17
that everyone. The same idea at the same time.
38:20
Wow, it's deleted. I don't know what you're talking
38:22
about. If anything comes out, I know
38:27
who it was and I will have you scrambled.
38:30
And demonetized, of course, just just, so we're clear.
38:35
D monetization. It does involve death.
38:37
So how of I know, of course, I know it's just pretend that I
38:44
didn't hear any of this. Do you also get where I am?
38:49
If don't tell anyone about the one because that's, that's,
38:52
that's So secret. Yeah, I'm already trying to
38:55
scrub the look of that thing of my mind.
38:59
I've got a friend to delete the memory for you.
39:01
Like, what? Back at the bar, so, yeah, we
39:03
can get that done. Just take a lot of vodka is the
39:08
same for me. All right, while a big old grin
39:13
I'm gonna shoot April Anonymous. I think, I think I might have to
39:21
shoot people Anonymous by the end of this.
39:23
You've gathered some information inside of the lab.
39:25
You know how the product is made?
39:27
You know what it's made through. You know where Smith is you
39:31
never want to know how the sausage gets made.
39:34
No you really don't. It was gross.
39:37
It's made by what. Yeah.
39:39
It's also a flashy worm flash. It looks like a sea cucumber.
39:45
Oh God. So you leave the lab?
39:48
All of you, go to the observation deck, Iona, All
39:55
right, so you head towards the observation area as you come up
39:58
to the door. I need you all to Romeo
40:00
perception, check that was Shades man.
40:02
You're fucking cop sheds. Let you see, are they do?
40:06
They have computers in them? That just Miller States.
40:10
I'm busy watching my own my own video, but the playback, busy
40:16
watching your own video. I need you to roll a cyber Tech
40:20
check for me. Okay, so see if you don't
40:23
Suddenly delete it. Yeah, you rolled.
40:27
This is going to be tough because you are in danger of
40:30
losing that footage. Wait, why?
40:33
Because you rolled a crit fail on perception fell over and you
40:36
were looking at the file of the time.
40:38
It's like having your finger on the mouse as you're going.
40:40
Over the delete key something. Oh, control for bureaucracy, but
40:48
you can roll for bureaucracy, very used to dealing with those
40:52
sort of red. Tape.
40:53
I'm in, I'm very cheap business. Yeah, sure, it's your business.
40:57
Yeah, roll for it. My family was all in, but yeah,
41:00
be in order to keep this footage now because you rolled so badly,
41:02
you have to keep an 18 because that's 20 minus 2.
41:06
Now you're all 216 slip and you delete the footage of the worm.
41:12
Okay, I told everyone I deleted anyway, I deleted it.
41:16
No, it's the truth. That was on purpose.
41:18
That's definitely on purpose. You just messing with this.
41:21
You just want to see the worm. Again, you little worm friend.
41:24
I just, I have everything for worms.
41:28
Let's not make that a character trait.
41:29
So, when you get exit the door for no reason, you here.
41:35
April swear at themselves. Fucking And with Max's 21 on
41:43
perception, you hear that there is some there is more than one
41:47
person on the other side of this door.
41:50
I can hear multiple people behind this door.
41:53
Good job Ken him, noble people behind the.
41:56
So we should look still kind of try to look professional, I
42:02
think. All right, well other there's
42:06
not any like Windows on these doors.
42:08
It's okay. No, windows.
42:12
Okay, everyone ready? Yes.
42:16
Yeah. Should we be having a fake
42:18
conversation as we go in? Your people, the door opens.
42:25
I love your face, it's just so funny.
42:28
Guess we also have to be careful of the dosage.
42:30
I think the dosage is a very important fact, as you walk in
42:33
and they either side of the door, there are two guards.
42:36
Well, you need to watch out because sometimes if you go a
42:38
little too high dosage, it can be a little hairy if you know
42:41
what I mean. And if you go a little too low,
42:43
Dosage, well then you may as well have not done anything at
42:47
all. Yeah, that's also what I noted
42:49
down. Yes.
42:50
Quite oh, hello, guard person. Hi, there.
42:53
How are you today? Has all done as little bit of
42:57
good day for you so far. Well, if we price them in a room
43:00
with no windows, looking at a screen of some horrible, shits
43:03
are not really. Isn't that always the way?
43:06
Yes, at the front of the room that you've entered.
43:09
There are three rows of chairs. Each row has two seats each.
43:13
Each and in front of them is a large curved screen.
43:17
This is probably where all the scientists come together to talk
43:19
about the various experiments that happened.
43:21
Just next door in the attached part of this building called the
43:24
testing area area is also sealed by large doors and it is where
43:29
they test on human beings. There is a scientist working at
43:33
the computer. At the screen, he's setting up
43:36
for tonight's live stream. Is there anything currently on
43:40
the screen? Are we monitoring the holding
43:42
cells or anything like that? That yes in the holding cell.
43:45
You see a car. The room is fairly dark on the
43:49
screen. There is no subject in there.
43:50
Currently there's faint stains of blood but actually
43:53
surprisingly not very much a car.
43:58
Yes we're using a car this time, what kind of car?
44:03
It's a Citroen Tren. Yes, but what the whole point of
44:09
grow, you know, that it makes you strong as I thought it would
44:11
be good for the show. I love.
44:13
It was mr. Smith's idea, the fact was
44:15
subject for is going to lift a fucking car over his head.
44:18
Don't buy it. Yes, with the drug.
44:20
I know. Yeah, with the with the results.
44:22
Oh my gosh. Yeah, well I mean you know we
44:24
took the engine up but don't tell them that they don't worry.
44:26
Of course, this is the third. I'm sorry the knowledge.
44:32
Yeah. He's gonna lift a car.
44:34
All right soldiers on that. Well Bill, not that it breaks or
44:38
something. No, it's a Citroen 2cv, you
44:41
know, their egg cooker. Yeah, yeah.
44:44
Come here. At that thing.
44:47
That falls on the ground in the blood race recently.
44:50
We're using one different one. I'm a mother father.
44:53
Public chicken, too, hard. Well, that's kind of You want
44:55
him to be able to rip it apart and where are, you know.
44:58
Yeah, well the well that makes sense.
44:59
I just wanted another dude gets hurt.
45:02
What it for your shares before the meeting.
45:04
They're gonna go fucking crazy. I'm sure well I have my options.
45:10
Yes, exactly. What team are you from?
45:13
I don't recognize any of you. I'm part of the marketing
45:17
Associates. I'm here to make sure that all
45:19
of your I wave my hand around generically a science.
45:25
Asha, my badge, I can see him looking.
45:27
Your science goes to plan. I did talk to George earlier so
45:32
I'm here to make sure that all of the backup facility has roll
45:36
persuasion. If you anything apart from a
45:38
crit failed passes don't say that it's great.
45:42
Honestly the best way to lie is to tell the truth mostly.
45:47
But also you said that all out. You got to be like bonuses.
45:49
That's a 16. Okay Rodriguez right.
45:54
Yes. I'm sorry, I'm sorry if you've
45:57
never seen the name Rodriguez, before I just, I've never met
46:00
you. That seems rather get it wrong.
46:02
It just seems strange to me that you pronounced it the way that
46:06
you did well scientist eccentric.
46:10
My idea of experiments is a man picking up a car, I like it.
46:15
I think it's a good marketing strategy and we'll have it, but
46:19
we've got it all painted biotech.
46:21
Nicker - rip it apart. I'm gonna say we're ripping
46:24
apart at the seams of haven't really worked on that.
46:28
Maybe the PR department can come up with a zesty line for that
46:31
moment. Ripping apart the seams of
46:33
what's possible for our future. I love it.
46:38
That's why they pay her the big bucks.
46:40
Exactly. That's why the couple has
46:43
Rodriguez. Well Smith will be here soon.
46:45
Yes. So I actually have brought my
46:48
own team of scientists to double check out of your programming.
46:50
So, if you just want to take a seat, we're just going to run
46:54
our own Diagnostics on your computers, and then, and then
46:58
check to make sure that your programs are set to go back to
47:01
the right dosage after the, you know, the large number the show
47:07
e numbers Right. April, walks forward.
47:15
I just wrote a crit 25 and now I am so sick of you all as fuck.
47:21
You said someone on the last day hours before the live stream to
47:26
check on us, on an experiment that we have run 14 x, 6S for
47:31
years. I don't know why you are so
47:33
suspicious of this because we are about to have the live at
47:37
streamed at shareholder meeting. And it needs to go correct
47:42
today. Now, Now, I know I am your
47:44
marketing associate. I know that you've never seen me
47:46
before. That's because I work to cover
47:49
up all of the fucking mess ups. You do.
47:52
Oh, I know about the flesh monster.
47:54
There are so many fucking teeth. Now, I need you to sit down.
47:59
Well, we double triple quadruple, check that you don't
48:03
fuck this up. Roll a facedown, thank you.
48:06
I don't remember how do. It's cool right?
48:08
Yeah it's cool plus reputation plus 1 D 10.
48:12
What's our rep right now? Your rep is 5.
48:15
I think cool. Plus rep plus 110.
48:21
Okay. 16, minus 5 plus 8, plus 3.
48:26
Yeah, that's very good. No better.
48:31
Not be equipped. Okay.
48:37
A road last year old a three, right?
48:39
I rolled it to, okay? I Pat him on the shoulder and I
48:43
say, don't worry, I'm sure it'll be fine.
48:45
I don't know anything about PR. We've got solved the Flash
48:48
problem. You just don't give them too
48:50
much. I understand I'm on your side
48:53
fellow scientist will be fine. Just just let these upper
48:56
management people have what they need.
48:58
You know what I mean? He sits down in one of the
48:59
chairs and one of the Gods leaves.
49:02
Oh actually could you go double-check with joy?
49:05
George, I know that I have 55 and 6.1 written down, but I need
49:10
you to go double triple check with him as well.
49:12
Go to go check with George. Thank you, thank you.
49:19
There's a guard left in him. Yes, I see that quietly.
49:24
I could you create a human wall real fast while I call Phillip.
49:27
Yeah, I'm gonna go up to the guard and I'm going to ask him
49:31
about what kind of coffee break. He gets to take my 65, you all
49:38
buried, Rose. You're gonna stand in front of
49:40
you now. Okay, yes, look over her
49:45
shoulder. So now, just like watching April
49:49
flirt, with a guard, hello, looking at a different direction
49:54
than I'm over here, actually, but he's not looking at Carol
49:58
lattes. Those are good for coffee
50:00
breaks. Yeah, the coffee machine has
50:04
black coffee. Just black coffee.
50:06
I do enjoy a black coffee when it's done, right?
50:08
It's not very good. Well, you know, coffee is
50:11
coffee. Am I right?
50:13
Caffeine taking take your old human perception.
50:16
April take, you can see my prescription because I want to
50:19
see if you can actually see. I own it being like fucking free
50:22
for room, 14. Yes, you do.
50:24
See that? I actually really need a little
50:27
caffeine myself. It has been such a busy day.
50:31
You mind showing me where the break room is, what?
50:34
Really? Yes.
50:36
I need some coffee. Just to be clear.
50:39
You want me to come with you but I just need to know where it is.
50:42
I would like you to show me. Just like it up sort of
50:44
two-year-old female. Yeah and I would mind if you
50:48
wanted to get a cup of coffee or cell phone can chat a little
50:50
bit. Oh no!
50:52
No seriously. He starts to brush more.
50:57
Why didn't I didn't expect this? All right.
51:01
It seemed like no, you're doing and it's, you know, it's you've
51:05
now convinced him. And he's headed towards the
51:07
vending machines outside of the security building where the
51:09
coffee is dispensed. You have now left the testing,
51:12
observation room you're on your own.
51:14
The other guard that left earlier is having a cigarette
51:16
near the gate and you come near them.
51:19
Meanwhile, back in the testing, observation room, Max Vandal and
51:24
Iona are alone. Jesus Christ that God had a
51:29
bigger humble his pants than I do with the gun.
51:31
Yes. Embarrassing.
51:34
Well, I do think there were probably need all of us to fix
51:37
this. Because there are, there are two
51:39
security unlocks. I'm going to get Philip to help
51:45
us here. So ring ring, Stop, we are in a
51:55
squeeze. We need to move very quickly.
51:58
I'm about to install risky into this machine.
52:02
And there are going to be some dosage percentages that are
52:05
going to be reset after being set at a higher number.
52:08
And I need you to be able to cancel out that reset.
52:11
Okay. A lot of dosage or absolutely
52:16
not so it's going to be put up to 15% and then 16.1% and so I
52:23
need you to. Yes it is.
52:27
So I need you. What's going to happen is that
52:29
they have it set. Yes.
52:32
But we wanted to be dangerous. Okay, okay.
52:35
Just checking? Yes.
52:37
But so I need you to help us do that, please.
52:41
What do we need to do? Okay, I'm not there the rescue
52:49
bit. If I was, there are like, if you
52:51
come and pick me up, I'm just sitting here in the office.
52:54
I'm not going to pick you up. Philip, not yet, you're not
52:57
ready. We don't have the time.
52:59
All right. All right.
53:00
Hello, new voice? Hello, I'm Max Max.
53:02
Are you? How is your, how is your basic
53:05
Tech? But five, I'm not really that
53:11
tacky know where your basic Tech is way higher than me or van Del
53:14
Sol. So, I hand, I hand the tile to
53:17
Max Max, please. I'm taking a look of, maybe go
53:29
for it. I love that I'm taking a look at
53:33
it. It's a honestly, it was a DB5.
53:37
It's a very simple bow, on the back of the machine, and yeah.
53:45
Plug it in, just like that. Whiskey is plugged in.
53:52
Okay, I hand my hand too risky to Max.
53:56
No second one tile and tripe like on like flip explain to me.
54:06
Okay, let's see. What up to do, lunch.
54:09
Let's do this. Quite a nice small little bug.
54:25
Cool. When it reverts back to five and
54:35
six point one, I need you to have it automatically.
54:38
Trigger the 6.1 back up to 16.1, just that one.
54:47
I know, okay. Yes, I do.
55:00
It's gonna be bad. I know, but this project can't
55:05
go. Right, unfortunately, 13.
55:10
Yes, that is enough. So now he has rolled 13, He has
55:17
reprogrammed it. So that the initial reducing of
55:21
the dose, it does not happen. Even though the machine will
55:23
display that it has the syringes will be made in the next 20
55:28
minutes. They will be used for tonight's
55:31
live stream. Great.
55:33
Can we put a lock on that? Okay, I'm going to roll my
55:40
interface so that no one knows that was here.
55:43
Didn't you want to frame like mr.
55:45
Smith. I couldn't do that.
55:51
Just like put him on this. techies have my work are
56:09
useless, so Hey, in order to find out if me and a realtor
56:15
undo, my mouth, they have to go higher than a 17 to be it,
56:19
magic. But but it you're putting
56:22
Smith's fingerprints on it. Correct?
56:25
That's what that was. Good job, fresh.
56:36
Is that did I? Is that what you want to be
56:38
called? Great and fresh fresh p.m. fresh
56:47
peas. So my system it says that Smith
56:52
is gonna be in that room fairly soon.
56:56
Well, we better leave then. What you look like.
57:03
But I've, well, we're leaving. You want some shades?
57:07
Yes. Yes.
57:08
Give me a shout. I'm taking Max has Shades.
57:13
Be careful with them. You take matches say shades.
57:15
We cut over to April, drinking coffee, with a guard outside the
57:20
front of security. And while you're having this
57:25
coffee with this guard out of six of the security door, comes
57:29
walking a tall. Gentleman wearing a bio Technica
57:34
suit. It's very subtle.
57:36
Dark grey with a little biotechnical logo on it.
57:38
Looks the premium of a corpo, he looks at you April straighten,
57:42
your eyes and goes Fucking. I'm blind Corner scientist.
57:51
Who are you? Next time on no latency side
58:03

58:10
Fuck off you, excuse you. Well, I could use bureaucracy
58:16

58:17
Locker. Gonna look for an occupied decom
58:21
chamber. It's a smelly poo.
58:23
It smells really, really badly of poo the whole procedure I
58:27
step out of the stall and in front of the door, I am Smith,
58:31
I'm fairly conniving with the other half is worse and they're
58:35
using your brain. Your I can't stand her singing
58:39
of a fucking products anymore. Oh, we're actually having this
58:42
conversation. I was just hoping to send it off
58:44
and not have to worry about it. Wait, I have an inspiration.
58:47
Don't I, I do not want to fail. This, what's make my work way
58:52
easier. Probably seems like really you
58:55
