0:02
Last time on no latency side quest.
0:04
I don't suppose I have any idea what BB might look like.
0:07
You expect to visit? US dev, do you Remember Me?
0:10
Oh. Yeah, I'm Bridge and then also
0:12
hello to the rest of you. You give me a reputable mechanic
0:15
and you get a few more credits. Reputable is up for debate.
0:17
She's good. Here's the thing.
0:18
I'm the. Fixer What kind of jobs?
0:20
Are you getting? Client requires medical
0:22
container picked up and delivered to the corporate
0:24
district. My matches my.
0:26
Tank Cryoshank is what will happen if we don't get this job
0:28
done. Someone's snippy.
0:30
Yes, we are on our way. Thank you.
0:32
I slammed the door. What?
0:33
Part of the city are we in right now?
0:35
What? Hell yeah, I mosh to a legally
0:37
binding argument. Somebody in danger?
0:39
If they're in danger, we got to help.
0:41
Them no free. Kata, ignore Devin.
0:43
This is bad. Oh, keep going.
0:45
Drive what? She's bleeding if you insist.
1:00
It's fate. Are you going to try and ram
1:02
this woman? Not intentionally, but if she
1:05
gets run over she was in the way of my car, right?
1:12
If you turn up the studio and read up the latest music, which
1:16
is actually just a reading of your rights when it comes to
1:18
vehicular manslaughter, then we're absolved.
1:20
Look, all I know is legally she's in the middle of the
1:23
street where she should not be in and if she gets run over
1:27
there's no St. lights right now that is on them.
1:30
She's not in the middle of a crosswalk.
1:32
It's not a crosswalk, it's not a red light.
1:35
She is not law enforcement and so I'm going to run her over if
1:40
she stays there. This is a trap.
1:43
Yeah, I mean, wow. So we're fighting.
1:48
We might be. Let's.
1:50
Go and he'll grab his wrist and you'll hear the chainsaw start
1:53
revving under his jacket. There's a there's a a bogged out
1:57
male scum scabbard that jumps out from behind some of the
1:59
boxes on the north side of the road and he looks at you VV and
2:03
you lock eyes. Oh fuck.
2:06
We're. No, and you hear the revving of
2:10
engines. God.
2:14
And behind you arrived 3 vehicles revving their engine
2:19
filled with dudes. You're going to stay or run.
2:22
You are outnumbered. We got a job to do.
2:25
Deb was going to be. Run.
2:26
Yeah, Deb was going to look through the mirror.
2:28
Passive rear, rear mirror. I would hold on to something
2:34
flooring and pressing the Nos at the same time.
2:38
You're here Nos now. Sick brother.
2:44
Oh no. Not using the whole thing.
2:48
No, no. You have charges.
2:49
That's fine. Yeah, that's a choice you've
2:51
made +2 to rolls for it. close to.
2:54
So, Landy. Come on, dice.
2:57
Now remember what I what I that I am the GM that lets you roll
3:00
anything for anything. So if you want to be creative
3:03
with any of these rolls, you can.
3:06
Oh, oh, absolutely. Hold on.
3:08
Give me one second to bullshit my way out of here, OK?
3:12
I am going to lock in. I'm going to do that thing that
3:17
happens to all corporate people where they're like hearing too
3:22
much bullshit from their upper management and they're just
3:24
going to like concentrate so hard on what needs to happen.
3:29
I'm going to bare knuckle to the steering wheel.
3:32
I'm going to just focus on moving forward and I want to use
3:36
concentration to keep this truck as straight as possible.
3:40
Sounds good. I like it.
3:43
Pretty girl. Yeah, let's go. 14.
3:47
Yeah, that's a 16. That's really good.
3:51
You did really well. Nice.
3:52
And you drive through some of the streets.
3:54
You actually managed to lose 1 of the vehicles, but
3:57
unfortunately 2 are still on your tail.
4:01
And now you're in a chase. You're racing through the rain.
4:07
It's battering against the front of the van.
4:10
Currently all the windows, the doors are shut.
4:13
Phoebe, you're standing over this container, which is now
4:15
jostled in the space and has got down to about 60% stability.
4:20
Oh no. Guys, I hate to alarm everybody,
4:23
but we need to be careful. If this thing takes damage or
4:27
like gets too jostled, it's going to lose stability and it's
4:31
only at 60% right now. Is that like the therapy?
4:34
Thing you talked about like. That being stable.
4:37
In a way, yes, that is a great comparison, saw.
4:43
Now we need to make sure we. Protect it like we protect.
4:47
Our own space. OK, so.
4:49
I So you're telling me be this this this cryo Dings therapist?
4:56
Yes, we need to protect it, so don't let it get hurt.
5:01
Come on doc. Thank you.
5:02
All right, everyone, we're all for initiative.
5:05
Wonderful. Terrible.
5:09
I'm not known for my speed. I'm known for my fast talking,
5:11
not my fast movement. I've turned on some.
5:15
Sid Wave Music. Hell, you should.
5:17
Oh yeah. Holy crows or oh.
5:20
My God. He can move, so I think.
5:23
It's all going first. Hell yeah.
5:26
Wow, wow, Bridge rolling the lowest initiative on the Yeah.
5:31
I let other people do the fighting for me.
5:33
Apparently. I tip well 82%.
5:40
All right, so you're inside the van.
5:42
You can see through the window in the back of the van that
5:44
you're being chased by two vehicles.
5:46
What's happening? Do I?
5:49
So we're in a combat zone. You're near a combat zone.
5:53
We got it. We're on the outskirts of a
5:55
combat zone. Can't walk away.
5:59
I mean, Miss Vivi said to protect this, this cryo tank.
6:04
So and and let me think real quick, the back doors open it.
6:13
Can be there's a window? OK, through the back door or on
6:18
the sides? The back of the van opens.
6:20
There's a pair of doors on the top of those doors is like a
6:23
glass window and it is a solid window.
6:26
There are windows you can open on the side of the van that you
6:29
can lean out of at the back. You'd have to crack the doors
6:31
open. OK, Saw is going to open up the
6:35
window that he is next to as he is placed on one side of the van
6:41
and he is going to take out his gun.
6:46
Let me just check the range on a slug real quick.
6:51
The closest van is about 30 feet behind you.
6:53
Got it. OK, Yeah, I will lean out the
6:56
you know, as we're looking at this map, I'll I'll lean out the
6:59
the the window that I'm. Closest to South side.
7:02
And I will the South side window.
7:03
Yep, and I will. I will shoot a slug at this red
7:07
vehicle chasing us. Roll Trip.
7:12
Oh, what is the? Range.
7:14
Oh, I see that. Thing you.
7:18
Said 30 feet. Or meters, Feet.
7:24
Feet, but cyberpunk is. Cruel.
7:28
Yeah, each square is five feet. Got it.
7:33
Yeah. Your first shot misses, goes
7:35
wild, blasting straight through a really big raindrop.
7:39
You can see it spatter across the front of the van.
7:42
He swerves, but he does OK. OK, and you get 2 actions
7:49
correct? You can do two things, yes.
7:52
But what's? The reason fire on your shotgun?
7:54
Is it one or? 20 It is one.
7:55
It is one. Yes, you are correct.
7:56
You can do other stuff though if you want.
7:59
There are like, there's some boxes and debris on the shelves
8:01
in the back of this van. Oh, perfect.
8:03
Yeah, he's going to grab the biggest box.
8:06
He's not even going to care what's inside of it.
8:07
Sorry, sorry, Devin. And yeah, he's just going to
8:11
grab the biggest box and it hopefully it fits through the
8:16
window. If not, he is going to push it
8:19
through the window and try to get it in way of this red
8:23
vehicle. Roll something.
8:25
I'm sure that's not going to be expensive.
8:29
Let's see this. Let's.
8:32
See. Let's see, let's see, would that
8:35
be? Rolling.
8:36
Yeah, that's what I was looking at.
8:38
Oh, oh, that's a crit success. This box flies out the window
8:48
and smacks the van as a maelstrom scabber hanging out
8:51
the side of his best friend's ride trying to shoot at you.
8:54
And he gets hit in the face with a box and it does.
8:58
He holds on. He holds on.
9:00
It does do. It does do.
9:02
Let's say wet box and rain. It's a crit.
9:07
So let's go with three D6. You roll that.
9:12
No, I'm sorry. Damage.
9:13
Yes. It's your damage.
9:14
I'm. Not rolling for.
9:14
You. That is me.
9:15
That is correct. Got it. 9 damage.
9:19
Nine has a lot of damage. Oh, it's not good when you see
9:25
this guy take 9 damage because he's sitting on the the
9:32
passenger's side. He.
9:36
Pushes the box off of this you. Fucking bastard having a fall
9:41
from my. Lab and unfortunately, Devin,
9:43
you recognize the box that flew at the back.
9:45
It's worth about 70 eddies and that's how much you've lost.
9:47
God damn it. What was in the box?
9:53
Please roll a driving check. Yes, first.
9:56
Driving check, which I'm sure is going to be the best driving
9:59
check ever. How?
10:01
How is that? No I did you roll a crypto 2 +
10:05
3? I think you did.
10:08
Oh no, that's land vehicle tech, correct.
10:09
Oh, that's land vehicle tech. That's the wrong thing.
10:11
Drive land, vehicle under control.
10:14
Oh, fake, because that would have been bad.
10:20
Oh dear. Oh, you know what's amazing?
10:24
I've been using the wrong thing this whole time.
10:27
Oh have you? I hate this one.
10:32
Fuck you so. Much the van that you're in
10:39
Karine's backwards and you are now a mere 10 feet from the red
10:43
vehicle behind you. The guy who was hit by a box is
10:46
angry once your head sore, but you now get to do something
10:52
else. Devin, I do.
10:53
Quick question, how armored is this armored car?
10:59
Are we talking baby tank? Are we just talking like souped
11:02
up Hummer? A normal vehicle doesn't really
11:04
have any armor. This vehicle has an AP of three,
11:07
so any damage is reduced by three.
11:10
And I'm assuming the cars following us don't appear to
11:13
have any armor on them. Not really.
11:17
They're honestly they look like stolen vehicles.
11:19
OK, I'm going to Devin's going to think back when he was a
11:23
young boy watching shows about private security pulling over
11:29
cars and high speed chases, and he's going to use his education
11:34
of angles and stuff to try to ramp the front of their vehicle
11:41
in a way that makes them careens.
11:43
OK, slightly away. Are you doing a reverse pit
11:46
maneuver? I'm doing a reverse pit
11:48
maneuver, which don't think about what I said, just accept
11:51
that I said all right. Now if you, you still have to
11:58
roll for this. Yeah, of course, of course I
12:00
have to roll for this really stupid idea.
12:05
But I wanted to use my education because I'm really good at math
12:08
and stuff to do such a stupid idea.
12:12
Oh. I love this partnering.
12:14
I was like God. Now the people listening can't
12:18
see my face with this big hopeful cherub looking thing on
12:21
my face, but I'm hoping. The GM is counting.
12:24
Up you Venmo him twist box you don't have to worry about.
12:28
Because it's angles, sure. Yeah, that was a good, that was
12:40
worth it that. We see.
12:42
Through our matrix. See through the matrix, brother.
12:46
You, you feel the slipstream and you frankly, you're just lucky,
12:51
right? You're just real lucky.
12:53
I'm going to go with that. You're real, real lucky.
12:56
And, and this, this, this, this vehicle behind you takes a hit
13:03
and it turns friggin sideways and you get some distance from
13:08
this vehicle and you cause the vehicle itself, the one that you
13:13
hit, you 'cause it a decent amount of damage.
13:14
And you see like one of the windows fly off and a part of
13:18
the windscreen smash as the front of the vehicle deforms and
13:22
pushes the glass out. And now it's raining inside the
13:24
vehicle as the driver's trying to see.
13:27
Science bitch. It's the greatest turn out ever
13:32
had. That was fantastic.
13:35
That was very good. That was so good, Yes, right.
13:39
So the driver of the vehicle that you just hit now has to
13:44
work out how he's going to get out of this mess.
13:48
The other issue is, as you've observed through the rearview
13:50
mirror, is he's also driving his boss, who was hit in the face
13:54
with a cardboard box. He looks like the beefiest of
13:57
all of them and this guy tries to drive better.
14:03
He's doing his best. He is the driver of the group so
14:06
he might do this, who knows. GM rolled a crit everyone and
14:12
you watch this guy correct his his driving and match speed with
14:17
the purple vehicle and they are still on your tail.
14:21
Unfortunately, you can't do anything else because you're all
14:23
a crit. How I rolled a crit.
14:25
That is the only way he could have survived from the other
14:29
vehicle. It moves forward just a little
14:32
bit. Drive land vehicle and this
14:38
purple vehicle. All right, these dice are
14:42
loaded. What is happening?
14:44
These virtual Unless Rule 20 wants to sponsor us, in which
14:47
case is the best dice that we've ever rolled.
14:48
Ever. The bubble car gets parallel to
14:52
the van and you're now kind of boxed in a little bit and then
14:57
the other guy can't see you. He's on the other side of the
14:58
vehicle. So he tries to shoot you through
15:00
his vehicle but can only get one shot off?
15:02
And did I just roll 3 crits in a row?
15:05
Oh. My God what 3 crits in?
15:07
A. Row happening.
15:10
They're not your hacks. Perry's I'm.
15:14
Sorry. This is concern.
15:15
So you get hit because that's a crit, you get hit and it costs
15:19
you just one a bit of your armor because it's low damage.
15:24
Got it. In the.
15:26
Chest he tries to shoot you. Yes.
15:28
Body unless, unless otherwise stated, it is always body.
15:31
Yes, shots to the head have to be called before you roll.
15:34
And that's even. That's right.
15:35
That's right. Yeah.
15:37
Yeah, so this bullet flies and like breaks off a piece of your
15:41
coat and it bounces around the inside of the of the vehicle,
15:44
scaring everybody, but not doing anyone any other damage.
15:46
I'm fine, don't worry about it. I'm you don't got to stitch me
15:50
up again, Miss VV. I swear.
15:51
I no, no more bleeding. I'm fine.
15:53
I'm fine. As you turn back from the bullet
15:56
that flew around this room, you see it roll across the corner of
16:00
the Van VV and when you look back to the cryo tank, it
16:03
started to set off a few alarms and you're going to have to do
16:05
something to this to keep it stable.
16:07
Oh. Great as it's my turn.
16:13
Oh, shit. OK, all right, sorry guys, I
16:17
can't help right now. I need to make sure this thing
16:19
does not like explode in here and put cryo stuff all over the
16:25
car and whatever valuables are in here.
16:29
OK, but just give me a minute be it's.
16:31
Therapist talk to it. We're on the right path there,
16:36
so I'm going to try to just stabilize this tank.
16:46
So I'm gonna just. 16 Medical tech Yes, you managed to raise
16:52
the stability of this by 10%. Oh, OK, that's good, good, good.
16:59
Also, by the way, everybody, we have luck.
17:02
Points in Cyberpunk we. Do.
17:05
And if you ever want to basically what they are and
17:07
you'll see it your stats at the top luck, if you make the call
17:12
before your role and say I want to put two luck points into my
17:16
role, you'll add 2 to the role, but you have to call make the
17:19
call. Before you.
17:20
Man, it would be great to have known that when I rolled all
17:23
these ones. Yes.
17:26
So usually like, yeah. It's like a.
17:28
Big role or something it's like. I went through some luck.
17:30
Into it. Gotcha 16 Yeah, you raised the
17:33
stability to 70%. You rolled well enough that on
17:37
your next turn you may engage in combat if you choose.
17:41
Cool. The boss of this gang is
17:43
pierced. His vehicle's been hit, his
17:45
driver recovered, but he wants you to die.
17:49
He wants to steal your ship, and it's really obvious.
17:53
And so he pulls out his big old gun and shoots.
17:58
You rude. Devin, you feel a thud as the
18:04
back of the van is hit for 10 damage.
18:08
Rude. Would it be 7 cuz the armor
18:13
yeah. OK.
18:14
Guess it would, yeah. But still rude.
18:17
And it is finally Bridge's time. Bridge is just gonna, I'm just
18:23
gonna lean out the window and yell in the general direction of
18:25
the red car behind us. And I go, hey, that's our
18:27
investment, you asshole. And I'm gonna try and do an aim
18:31
shot at the driver aiming for his head like.
18:35
Through aim shot to -8. Which is great because I'm going
18:38
to use three luck points in order to try and minimize that a
18:40
little bit and make it just a. Time.
18:42
Let's go it. Is very close.
18:45
You are very close. You're only 15 feet away from
18:47
this vehicle, right? You're doing the purple vehicle,
18:49
the red 1. The red one in for the driver's
18:52
head and his eyes. OK, so that's 20.
18:56
Oh and crit gone. Oh my God.
19:04
I tell you what you're. On the crit so you get to add
19:06
your luck to the damage. There you go.
19:09
Plus three, yeah. So that is that you?
19:12
Yeah, you hit him in the head, right?
19:15
Yeah, you hit. Right between the eyes.
19:17
Think about doing a name shot is if you hit them, you cause a
19:21
crit injury. You watch this bullet twang off
19:24
this guy's head. Blood starts to pour down his
19:27
face as he squares audibly into the broken windscreen and you
19:31
can see the vehicle start to sway.
19:34
He now has a -, 2 to all actions because he definitely has a
19:37
concussion. Now that's wild.
19:40
What'd? You get.
19:41
Bitch immediately dug behind the crown tank.
19:45
Back in the back. Saw's going to again.
19:54
He's going to lean out the window with his shotgun and
19:58
shoot the driver of the purple van.
20:00
Nice perfect 17 yes that is enough because they are only
20:06
like 15 feet away. You hit them for 17, causing 12
20:10
damage to the driver, you said. Correct.
20:12
Cool. All right, he gets hit.
20:15
You watch him take some some some demage, but it doesn't make
20:18
him go under half health. He is does not look well.
20:21
You kind of lean back into the truck.
20:24
Are we? Are we just, are we fighting?
20:26
Do we? What do we do?
20:28
What do we do? You want me to?
20:29
Keep shooting. Yes.
20:34
OK. Keep it.
20:37
Stable. Keep it.
20:38
Stable and I'll kill these motherfuckers, OK, I'll.

is. 13. 13 yeah, that is an everyday task.
22:07
It is an everyday task, just not falling out of the rain.
22:15
Do you want the very good roll that I rolled or would you like
22:17
to roll the D6 yourself? I would like the very good roll
22:23
you just rolled. Yeah, I rolled A6 on this
22:25
dosage. So you got that.
22:28
You move forward out of ramming distance of these vehicles or
22:32
did you want to ram them? Actually, it is actively
22:37
raining, correct? Very much so, which would mean
22:40
that there are pools of water and various other liquids on the
22:45
road that I'm sure has a viscous type consistency.
22:49
Yes, I would like to purposely drive the car into a puddle so
22:55
that a wave of water or oil mix hits the purple car to possibly
23:03
either make it flammable, make it make their sight harder,
23:08
something to affect what's happening.
23:12
That's brilliant. I love that inspiration.
23:15
Nice. Very good.
23:16
Yeah. Nice.
23:18
Nice. I love that.
23:19
Yeah. You get that?
23:20
They have to avoid that, I guess.
23:22
Right. I suppose it's either damn point
23:25
or I succeed. I can imagine.
23:30
OK, so he's wounded, right? That means he gets a -?
23:35
4 to his role. So you rolled a 13.
23:37
He rolled an 11, and that vehicle careens off onto the
23:42
sidewalk. They're now on the sidewalk.
23:45
Oh, yeah, That's right behind you, too.
23:47
They're not there. They're there more parallel with
23:49
the red car. They've lost their hold on you.
23:51
And the sidewalk's not even at all.
23:53
And you can see the right side of the vehicle as they've gone
23:55
to the South side of the road just.
23:58
And the passenger's shouting at the guy who's bleeding from his
24:02
body. Damn.
24:02
Oh God. Damn it, why did we feel?
24:10
And that's all you get to do. My sister would be so proud of
24:14
me right now. This is not what I'm designed to
24:16
do. The driver of the red vehicle
24:21
does his best. You can see him grimace a little
24:24
bit. He's not doing great, but he's
24:26
going to try rolls at 14. He moves forward a little bit
24:30
and manages to close some distance on you, getting to 15
24:35
feet behind the vehicle. You're in everybody, but not
24:39
close enough to ram you because that's not enough.
24:42
The guy in the purple car attempts to try and save both
24:46
himself and his brother in arms from crashing into a wall. 13 is
24:51
an everyday task and they barely make it, but they also do at
24:54
least the amount of damage to their vehicle and you watch the
24:57
passions inside door tear off fly back into the distance as
25:01
the wind and rain batters across the moon.
25:05
Says a guy in that vehicle. He tries his best to not fall
25:09
out of the vehicle now, and that means he has to roll.
25:13
Let's go. We athletics.
25:17
Athletics sprawling. Where are you buddy?
25:21
If this is anything like the Speedy and Angry series, it just
25:23
means they've gotten faster with less weight.
25:26
Unfortunately, that guy rolled a three and even +4, that's not a
25:31
nine, it's not that's a 7. So he falls out of the vehicle
25:35
and and road burns on the ground, rolling around and
25:39
getting really wet and disappears into the streets
25:42
behind you as you keep speeding on forward one down 3 to go aw.
25:47
Man, maybe that series was fiction.
25:54
OK, so one of them flew out of the car, but the driver's still
25:57
there, right? All right, I'm going to try to
26:00
shoot the driver. Of the red car or the purple
26:03
car? Oh yeah, the one the.
26:05
Purple car flew out. The red car's closer and I'm
26:08
scared, so I'm going to shoot at that one.
26:13
So you see VV pull out the most adorable weapon you've seen in
26:18
your life. It is the San Rue Hello Cutie
26:20
Ultra K assault pistol. That is a pink gun, pink heavy
26:27
pistol and it makes cute noises when you fire it so.
26:33
Are you doing auto fire or regular fire?
26:35
I think I'll do regular for this.
26:40
Oh. Shit, unfortunately I rolled not
26:49
well. You did not roll well.
26:51
You can shoot twice with that weapon.
26:53
All right, I can, yes. But your first roll goes wild
26:56
and you although the bullet misses and flies into the
27:00
distance, you do hear it hit the guy who rolled out of the
27:04
vehicle. You just hear.
27:07
You hear someone in the doesn't go.
27:09
Oh fuck, I'm going. Out of it and.
27:14
That's much better. And the bullet myself into the
27:22
distance. I love this.
27:24
You were. You were aiming for the.
27:26
You were aiming for the driver. All right, you hit him, man.
27:31
You hit him. And he does.
27:32
I mean, he's got some armor on, but you still do a decent amount
27:34
of damage because he's only wearing wearing a simple shirt.
27:38
He's got an armor of two. So he's not doing well.
27:42
I deducted too much health. Shit.
27:43
Keep it. Yeah.
27:44
He's fine. He's not, he's not quite at
27:48
critical injury, but he is in. He is in.
27:50
He's not doing well. He's been shot a few Times Now.
27:53
The boss of this crew. Oh.
27:55
Fuck, this is all going South. And you can see him get just a
27:59
little bit more angry and he shoots again, hitting you.
28:04
Didn't open the back doors, right?
28:05
Correct. OK, no.
28:09
He does however do 8 damage to the to the vehicle itself, so
28:14
that's death. Yeah, unfortunately if you watch
28:17
a piece of the armor fly off the back of the vehicle, they dodge
28:20
it easily and the vehicle itself takes 6 damage.
28:27
The vehicle health is in the top left of this page.
28:30
So. All right, bridge the end of the
28:33
round. Bridge is just staring over at
28:36
Vivi's weapon and then looking at her own pistol, back at
28:39
Vivi's and then back at her own, and then she she sit and then
28:44
pulls out a slightly larger, slightly heavier pistol and aims
28:46
it at the driver again. She's kind of muttering to
28:48
herself, can't really hear what she says, but she takes an
28:51
attack not called shot this time, just firing in the
28:54
driver's general direction for daring to survive. 15 Yes, that
29:01
is enough. That is enough, definitely.
29:03
Oh holy shit, the damage. Wow.
29:06
I don't think I I think that hurt.
29:10
Yeah, No, I think that did that's a that's 17 damage.
29:14
OK, sure. That's a critical injury to the
29:19
body. Oh, that's not good.
29:22
That is so much more damage than I did to the head, by the way.
29:25
That's a lot of damage, but also he's gone under half health.
29:28
He's taken a critical injury. And you watch the bullet go
29:31
through his center mass and Vivi, you've got an ear for
29:35
medical things. In the distance over the rain
29:38
and the revving of engines you hear the crack of bone and you
29:41
watch this guy's eyes go wide as his whole body goes still and
29:47
his body from like the mid up turns left cracked his spine
29:52
with a bullet bridge. I just turned to BB and I go,
29:57
yeah, I'm not going to lie, that doesn't sound as cool as yours.
30:00
And this guy slumps over the the steering wheel because he can't
30:04
take action. Spinal injury.
30:06
Next turn, you cannot take an action, but you still have a
30:09
move action. So he can't move.
30:12
His legs don't work. This guy is in so much pain.
30:17
He's he's, he's making a silent scream.
30:20
You can see this like look of terror on his face as his head
30:23
is pressed against the steering wheel and his boss is looking at
30:25
him and patting his shoulder, shouting at him to actually
30:29
drive. And as this argument continues,
30:33
you watch the boss kick this guy out of the vehicle and his
30:37
broken body rolls. Blood spatters from him as he
30:41
smacks the sidewalk and probably dies since he had two and the
30:46
boss takes control of the vehicle.
30:49
It's your turn, so that's a horrible thing to watch.
30:53
Oh yeah. Bridge is just smiling back at
30:58
you. Yeah.
31:01
So I was just going to look out the window and after observing
31:05
what happened is to go. Asphalt Demise, Good song name
31:09
OK. Keep shooting.
31:13
OK, OK, I'm on it. And he's going to again put his
31:17
shotgun out the window and shoot at the driver now who is the now
31:21
current boss? Yep, he looks beefy and scary.
31:25
Saw's bigger. So it's taller.
31:29
He's definitely not wider. This guy is.
31:32
He's a chunky boy, 13. Oh yeah, no, not enough that.
31:37
Goes wide. The shot goes wide.
31:39
You can use the other ammo which you have other ammo on.
31:42
I double checked your sheet though.
31:44
I. I do, it's not in range.
31:46
And I know it's not in range. I'm just reminding you that you
31:48
have yes. Oh yes, if they were closer,
31:51
yes, absolutely. But your bullet goes wide, and
31:55
as you were able to last time, you now have the choice of
32:00
throwing a random item from the back of this van out the window.
32:04
What's what's the heaviest thing in this thing in in this car?
32:07
What what's heavy? What about?
32:08
Probably the cryo. No, Sir.
32:14
I mean, I was like, you should do that.
32:15
But I mean, if I push this out the back doors, think of the
32:18
damage it no, no, no. Damn.
32:21
Repeat. Damn.
32:22
Repeat. Gotta take care of the cryo
32:26
tank. Listen to its problems.
32:28
I understand you wouldn't happen to have like, I don't know, like
32:32
a brick or something. You find a heavy box in the
32:36
back. What's this giant trunk of stuff
32:40
you have back here? Devin, you.
32:43
Know just like parts and tools and.
32:47
OK, we don't need that. It's marked.
32:49
It's marked vehicle parts. Take this off what?
32:53
Oh is it? Is this the headers of an engine
32:56
block? Hey, anything but the if you
33:01
don't mind. Hey, the passenger seat, please.
33:04
Anything but the actual parts. He is going to lift up the
33:09
header of the engine. Miss Phoebe, can you help me
33:14
with the doors? Who's?
33:15
Next. Devin's next, technically.
33:17
No, Devin's driving, so he can't help you.
33:18
So you'll have to ask Phoebe. Yeah.
33:21
Maybe can you help me with the doors by toss this?
33:24
Yes. Phoebe helps you with the doors.
33:26
Do you just push this engine block in his way?
33:28
Absolutely. Yes.
33:30
Dope. Yeah, you know, it's heavy.
33:33
Like, Saw's big, but he, he's, he's just going to like.
33:38
Drop it out the back. Door I can and you know, try to
33:41
hit this red car with. It so it just the.
33:44
Best Mario Kart thing I've ever seen.
33:45
Yes, definitely. Yeah, this is definitely this is
33:49
this is it's it's the cyberpunk version of a banana skin, which
33:52
is a full engine block that would definitely die if you hit.
33:57
I also just rolled 2D10, which I got from the edge runners
33:59
mission kit. They're really cool.
34:01
I rolled unfortunately very high and that that engine block was
34:04
710 eddies. You hear Devin, you hear Devin
34:14
crying from the front as he hears the engine block hit the
34:16
concrete in the in the chase, the wind blowing as it's now
34:21
getting wet inside of the vehicle.
34:23
You've cracked the doors open. Everything's going a bit crazy.
34:25
You have to press the cryo tank and the box down so it doesn't
34:29
fly out of the vehicle. This engine block hits the red
34:31
car and this guy has to roll and see if he can control this be oh
34:37
that's bad. You know what the boss of this
34:39
gang didn't do? Take.
34:41
The Garber driving lessons. Learn how to drive.
34:43
Unfortunately that is not enough.
34:47
I think it's not enough. I have yet to see what you roll
34:49
so. OK, let's go back to 16.
34:55
Yeah, that's higher than what he rolled.
34:58
So by the definition of TTRPGS in general, you win.
35:02
That's how they work. Right and the the engine block
35:06
hits this vehicle and like, I don't know if an engine block
35:09
hits your car, I don't know any regular vehicle that can keep
35:11
moving and you just watch him just leave.
35:14
He just stops dead. You carry on.
35:16
All that's left chasing you is one guy in a purple car that's
35:20
trying not to drive on the sidewalk.
35:21
He's having difficulty. Devin, it's full time.
35:26
So you're also upset, I imagine. Oh, a little bit.
35:32
Yep. 11 yes. Enough you're able to keep
35:34
yourself consistent, but you do not gain on these people
35:37
whatsoever. You you actually get a little
35:39
closer to them. So just so Devin can recap his
35:44
investments has already been problem.
35:46
One of them. There was more than one in the
35:48
box. One-on-one. 700 credits just
35:53
went out the back door. Yeah.
35:55
Took someone out there and we're near the combat zone.
36:00
OK. I mean, you're actually on your
36:01
way away from the combat zone as you careen through the city.
36:04
Yes. I believe Devon's going to have
36:07
what he calls a slight mental breakdown and roll do a hard
36:12
turn to side swipe that car as hard as possible.
36:17
Would you like to use Nos or luck?
36:23
You have two charges of Nos left.
36:25
I'm going to use Nos. So the idea is turn the car
36:27
towards it, press the Nos and hit it as hard as possible with
36:33
his car. Is that intelligent?
36:35
No, no, but this has been such a day for Devon.
36:40
You can roll whatever you want for that because it's really
36:43
cool. Let's see what makes sense for a
36:49
good mental breakdown. Wow, wow.
36:54
Dude, that is it. Against all odds.
37:01
Against all odds. Wild Kaplan comes from the front
37:15
seat. I'm scared, everybody.
37:17
That's. You push this vehicle along in
37:22
the rain. You're pushing the vehicle now
37:24
sideways, somehow laughing at this driver as he looks at you
37:29
in fear. His vehicle starts to tip
37:32
slightly, and if you twist the steering wheel just right, this
37:36
guy is going to barrel roll over your vehicle.
37:39
Oh, stop me. It's like just just.
37:42
Do it. Just do it.
37:43
Just sign the contract motherfuck.
37:45
In this quick. The vehicle in front of you
37:49
flips and goes over you and you all feel that slow motion moment
37:54
that happens in a crash as you watch the car slowly cascade
37:58
over you. The tube inside scream as his
38:01
face is contorted in fear and surprise that he is not on the
38:05
ground as it lands behind you. You hear him go and the vehicle
38:13
explodes as you watch one of his arms fly off.
38:15
He is definitely dead and the combat is over.
38:19
The vehicle comes to a screeching halt as you watch the
38:23
smoke billow out of the car wreck behind you.
38:27
And it's at this moment, in this victory, as you will raise your
38:32
arms up in celebration. Yeah, that was awesome.
38:40
I saw that on infant driver once.
38:42
I didn't realize it was real. Vehicle explosion,
38:46
Dismemberment. You have jostled the vehicle a
38:49
lot and as you stop screaming you hear a beeping like a
38:58
medical beeping and as you turn to the container it's at 6%
39:05
starts to give off alarms. Miss Veep.
39:07
Therapy it. Therapy it.
39:10
I this. Is like critically low.
39:15
Yeah, it's beeping. It's making the annoying noise
39:17
that happens in ER. OK, I'm going to need all hands
39:22
on deck for a moment. We need to make sure this thing
39:24
does not go to 0 or this job is kaput.
39:29
Devon, you are also distracted. As you turn to the front of the
39:32
vehicle. You look down at the dashboard
39:35
and you can see that you do not have enough gas to finish this
39:38
drive. You're going to have to go to a
39:39
gas station. Fuck, fuck.
39:52
Next time on no latency side quest.
39:58
Thousands of dollars. This is destroyed.
40:00
That thing's beeping. Medical professionals required
40:03
to maintain the crowd tank's stability.
40:05
More importantly, the goods about to expire.
40:08
Why are you so mad? Hey, it takes regular still,
40:11
right? Oh my God, so help me grab them.
40:13
I got I. Got them, I got them.
40:15
What's that by any chance related to what we have been
40:19
doing for the past several? I know I'm the smartest person
40:23
here, Devin said it. Guys, we had one job.
40:27
I could just knock him out. Oh God damn it.
40:29
If we chop off his foot, can you put it back on?
40:32
Yes, actually I can. So we maim him.
40:35
Maybe we. Should talk more about therapy.
40:37
Only if it's necessary saw. You read the book called Alice
40:39
in Wonderland. I can't read.
40:41
Could also just as easily be a self destruct caller, so maybe,
40:44
don't you know, fuck with that too much buddy you.
40:45
Didn't see anything. No, Hey, hold on, You've seen a
40:47
lot of. Messed up things, right?
40:49
Yeah, gaslighting isn't even real.
40:50
We're all going. I'm going to say we don't know
40:53
what's in this box because that is the safest option.
41:19
