S2E60 - Glowing Green · No Latency

• 0:02
  Last time on no latency. What?
• 0:04
  Was the test. The test that was so long ago.
• 0:07
  We've explored nearly this entire facility.
• 0:10
  I'm scarf black, basically retro.
• 0:12
  This place is fucked. I just crawled through a vent.
• 0:14
  I don't know if you saw that. Wait, Iona's going through dirt
• 0:17
  and grime and you're saying I'm the one that's being weird?
• 0:20
  Well, we should probably go check on Doctor Ombre.
• 0:22
  Doctor. Doctor.
• 0:23
  These reports are saying. To make sure that they're not
• 0:26
  dead. They're saying it's terminal.
• 0:28
  Yeah, it's all right. I'll do it.
• 0:30
  And you got to let him have a choice first, Jeb.
• 0:31
  Is there anything we can do? Cool AMA.
• 0:34
  Don't worry, we'll find Sasha. Hey, it was Nas.
• 0:36
  Noni doc it's. Literally a coup de grace.
• 0:38
  You did the rat thing there, right?
• 0:40
  No. Fuck me.
• 0:42
  Do we know this person? This was Doctor Ombre's lover.
• 0:46
  That's heartbreaking. Shame.
• 0:48
  Damn shame. Well, best we below this place
• 1:05
  to hell, huh? Yeah.
• 1:09
  Yeah. None of this can get out.
• 1:12
  I know it's kind of a cob, but at least they're together again,
• 1:18
  hopefully. Yeah.
• 1:20
  Yeah. If you believe in that sort of
• 1:22
  thing, I. Mean.
• 1:24
  I don't. But maybe they did.
• 1:26
  So that'll. I think we should all go through
• 1:28
  our theologies 1 by 1. I just hope they get to tell
• 1:32
  each other that they loved each other.
• 1:35
  I don't want to sing the corpse song.
• 1:39
  They said that there was a vent. That is true.
• 1:43
  Also, I didn't know that Frog was a scientist here.
• 1:47
  I thought that the Frog Lab was legitimately a lab full of
• 1:50
  frogs. I also did think that, but I
• 1:54
  suppose that's not surprising any of you.
• 1:56
  Well, I mean, the Abbott lab was named after Doctor Abbott, so.
• 2:01
  Makes sense now that you think about it.
• 2:04
  You mean there aren't a bunch of Abbots down here?
• 2:06
  Ha. Ha, ha, ha, ha.
• 2:08
  Ha, ha, ha, ha. That's what I thought.
• 2:10
  Maybe this place was just an Abbey, you know?
• 2:13
  Well. What would you think?
• 2:16
  What would that be normal? Or would it be like Abbey
• 2:18
  normal? All right, we're done.
• 2:22
  Here, let's go. Let's get a move on and see if
• 2:24
  we can find this fence. Is it?
• 2:25
  Is it just me, or has Remy begun to be more full of puns?
• 2:33
  Wait a minute. Hold on, hold on, Rim.
• 2:37
  Are you a father? Is there a do you have a child
• 2:41
  out there that we don't know about, that you don't know
• 2:43
  about, but you know the the dad jokes are kicking in remotely?
• 2:47
  I don't think I have. I don't think I have a kid, but
• 2:50
  I have plenty of. Paramours.
• 2:52
  Call me Daddy. OK, let's look around this room
• 2:57
  everyone. Yes.
• 2:59
  Well, I I think, I think they mentioned that there was
• 3:02
  something on the east side here. I'm just kind of feel around on
• 3:06
  the wall. Hey, Chip.
• 3:11
  You. Not not to be funny, You're not
• 3:16
  looking very good. Oh, now what?
• 3:20
  Just something like AI say Listen, I said I wanted to take
• 3:23
  a nap, but y'all y'all woke me up almost immediately.
• 3:26
  OK, what's wrong, Jeb? Well, recently, you know, I've
• 3:32
  kind of had a a kind of, well, I don't have to say it.
• 3:36
  Never mind. No, no, no, no.
• 3:39
  Let let me just let me just take a look at you really quick.
• 3:43
  What? Did you see?
• 3:44
  Vendel what? You go over to Jeb and you,
• 3:50
  he's, he's leaning on one of his legs a little bit and you go to
• 3:53
  grab it and he winces. Did you hurt your leg?
• 3:58
  You pull up his trouser and there's a huge bruise all the
• 4:01
  way down his leg. Yeah.
• 4:03
  Gosh, I. Don't know from when you fell,
• 4:05
  Yeah, when the when the water beast grabbed you and you fell
• 4:09
  to the ground. Oh, that makes that was
• 4:12
  anywhere, You know, I get Bruce's all the time.
• 4:15
  I'm just like, where did that go from?
• 4:17
  I don't know. Wait a second, Water beast.
• 4:24
  Yeah, you know. That wasn't in the the.
• 4:27
  Yeah, the recap count that. We all discussed oh.
• 4:32
  Yeah, we found it was a. Beast in the thermal, it's.
• 4:34
  Scary. That's.
• 4:35
  True. Yeah, it did grab me, Threw me
• 4:38
  across the room, bruised my leg, apparently.
• 4:41
  And we got the hell out of there.
• 4:43
  I just figure, you know, as long as we're blowing this place up,
• 4:46
  we'll just we'll just shoot up to the top.
• 4:48
  We don't have to worry about that.
• 4:50
  I I cut its tongue with my sword.
• 4:52
  It was really cool. There is true, Yeah, it was a
• 4:55
  tongue. Yeah, back down Jeb's leg.
• 4:58
  That's right. I can't actually remember which.
• 5:00
  Yeah. It was kind of mostly on my leg,
• 5:02
  but it did, it did kind of tickle my arm with zil fork
• 5:05
  tongue. Jeb, we need to find you better
• 5:07
  dating apps. That is not in the workplace,
• 5:11
  Jeb. VV You're sort of attending to
• 5:14
  this bruise and you've got like a bruise cream in your pack and
• 5:18
  you can choose. To use it, don't use the bruise
• 5:20
  cream, use the anti bruise cream.
• 5:22
  Don't question me, I'm a doctor. You can choose to use it, but it
• 5:28
  it will cost you. It will cost you 25 eddies of of
• 5:31
  your worth of stuff to heal him. All right.
• 5:35
  I'll, I'll spend it to help Jeb. Can I check for fractures or
• 5:40
  anything like that? Does it look like?
• 5:42
  Yeah, go ahead and check for Boo boos.
• 5:44
  Beyond the bruising, Jeb, let's see if you fractured anything.
• 5:47
  He's not fractured anything but he has sprained his ankle so if
• 5:51
  you want to you can spend another 10 eddies on strapping
• 5:55
  his ankle. You have a light spraying.
• 5:56
  That's not too bad, but the bruising really is.
• 5:59
  What is the most significant here?
• 6:02
  Yeah, but happened for a bit. But I do understand where it can
• 6:05
  kind of seem like a jaunting, but no, it was a limp.
• 6:10
  Brawl 2D6. God, I don't know what the
• 6:14
  symbol is 2. Oh, that's a six.
• 6:16
  Two and a six. Oh, great.
• 6:19
  Yeah. So Jeb, you get 8 HP.
• 6:22
  Hooray. I will go ahead and spend the
• 6:26
  the 10 eddies to also patch up his leg sprain.
• 6:32
  Yeah. Thanks, Jack.
• 6:34
  Yeah, and he. Gains an extra 2 HP all right.
• 6:38
  I feel too better. This place is this place is
• 6:40
  really messing us up everyone. Sure he is.
• 6:44
  After this we should probably take some time to rest.
• 6:49
  I always say this, but you know after these big jobs it's takes
• 6:52
  a lot on us physically and mentally so.
• 6:55
  I might get some dermal armor, yeah.
• 6:57
  I'm really, I'm really hoping to get some of that.
• 6:59
  There's a new company out there called The Plot, and I hear that
• 7:03
  makes some pretty good armour. It's very good.
• 7:07
  That was very funny. Oh my God.
• 7:15
  I mean, I feel like, I feel like some of us have had this armour
• 7:17
  for a bit. Wow.
• 7:22
  So should we check out this vent?
• 7:23
  Where is it? Is it over here?
• 7:24
  There it is. There's what?
• 7:26
  The vent. Wait, hold on, hold on.
• 7:30
  I'm smelling something. It's coming from the other side.
• 7:33
  What is it? What is it, boy?
• 7:34
  What is it? Smell.
• 7:35
  Is it blood? Hold on, hold on.
• 7:37
  Got to touch the perception, But what is that?
• 7:41
  Oh wow. There it is.
• 7:43
  Clean sounds like bleach in there.
• 7:46
  Oh, I like that. I'm gonna open this bitch up.
• 7:52
  And Jeb opens this bitch up. He steps into the vent, followed
• 7:59
  by Retro and Iona and VV and Vendel.
• 8:03
  I'm. Stuck, I just keep closing the
• 8:05
  door. Stop closing it on me.
• 8:08
  Iona. I'm I'm now stuck.
• 8:13
  Wow, they're really fighting back there, Jeb.
• 8:15
  I'm glad you and I have a pretty good working condition right
• 8:17
  now. Hold on, there's another door.
• 8:20
  Oh, OK. I'll let you take control of
• 8:21
  that. I'll let I'll let you go first.
• 8:23
  What you going to do, Jeb? I was going to sing.
• 8:26
  Roll Perception 22. You hear the Scratching of
• 8:33
  Drone. Feet.
• 8:35
  But what do I smell? There's.
• 8:37
  Bleach. You're going to smell nothing
• 8:39
  but bleach. It's undeniable, folks.
• 8:41
  There is bleach on the other side of the door, but you hear
• 8:46
  that? Oh shit, there's drones.
• 8:51
  There's drones in there. Dan's drones.
• 8:55
  You know that? Like that song, Dan's drone
• 8:59
  drone drone connects to the oh, the drone.
• 9:03
  The, the bolter. The the Oh yeah, yeah.
• 9:07
  If you can kind of squeeze pass. Sorry, go.
• 9:09
  Ahead and use that thing. I I don't have it.
• 9:11
  Somebody else has it. I don't have.
• 9:14
  It No, don't touch me. Retro, not my M penis.
• 9:17
  And as you open up the Hatch door there in the corridor.
• 9:21
  No, we're not ready to open the Hatch door.
• 9:23
  Open the. Door close the door.
• 9:27
  Oh, I already opened the door. All right, well, you better use
• 9:31
  that goddamn bolter since I was trying to tell you to use the
• 9:35
  bolt as. You open up the Hatch door.
• 9:37
  There, on the other side of the room, are a bunch of drones, all
• 9:42
  scrabbling to try and get into a door.
• 9:44
  You know, I won't say a dog named Bolter.
• 9:46
  And they're all glowing green. Oh well, that's fucking ominous.
• 9:50
  There's one thing I know about things that glow green, it's
• 9:53
  that there's usually a lot nice for them, the one with the glow
• 9:56
  red. So maybe these ones are friends.
• 9:58
  I would agree with that. Well, these ones are about to
• 10:00
  glow dead. Oh man, that's good.
• 10:06
  That's good. Retro, you pull out this new
• 10:08
  gun. Do you want to use weapons tech
• 10:10
  to examine it? Before you fire.
• 10:12
  Sure, yeah. Right.
• 10:13
  You examine the gun. It's got a large battery
• 10:17
  attachment to the underside. It currently has ten shots left
• 10:22
  and then there are three shots left if you spin the battery
• 10:25
  around and use turn. To reload it double magazine.
• 10:30
  There's only three shots on the other side left.
• 10:32
  OK. It has a rate of fire of two and
• 10:34
  that's it. All right.
• 10:38
  For I I already used my quip. I can't think of a good one now.
• 10:43
  Shoot the damn gun. Yeah, I'm with some.

  All right, yeah, I'm gonna take cover beside these crates and
• 12:02
  take a take a shot. All right, this little gun in
• 12:05
  your hand goes off and it just fucking fires this Shard of
• 12:09
  metal as it crisps through the air covered in electricity.
• 12:13
  It hits the first drone in the pile that you see for 2D6
• 12:17
  damage. Roll 2D6 damage 2.
• 12:23
  D6 Damage. Oh, that's pretty.
• 12:25
  There you go. So that is 10 hole damage.
• 12:30
  It fries in front of you and you see one of its legs start to
• 12:36
  glitch out. All right, I'm not going to
• 12:38
  shoot the one doing the stanky leg.
• 12:40
  I'm going to shoot the one next to it.
• 12:41
  OK. Oh, I wish I had some luck. 14
• 12:45
  Yes, that also hits just. Barely.
• 12:50
  Roll 2D67 damage. It's better than two ones.
• 12:53
  This is very true. It does above average.
• 12:56
  I will do my retro thing and I'm going to right next to me.
• 13:02
  There's a bunch of lockers next to me by the way.
• 13:04
  I'm going to run and climb inside the locker and close it.
• 13:08
  You step into the locker and as you close the locker door, you
• 13:10
  look at the inside of it and it's covered in cold
• 13:12
  condensation. Shoot well.
• 13:15
  All right. OK, fine.
• 13:18
  I closed the vent. I will do it again, but better
• 13:24
  so I get about yay close. What is that 15 feet?
• 13:28
  Well, I pull out my R.E.M. Ware Hello Corpo, hello Corpo,
• 13:36
  hello Corpo. My my R.E.M.
• 13:39
  Ware IP edition handgun and I'm going.
• 13:42
  I'm going to shoot the stanky leg one as it was so deemed. 24
• 13:48
  Yes you hit it for 13 damage and it slides back and explodes
• 13:54
  causing. Does the explosion, Oh yeah, two
• 13:57
  damage to the. Drones next to it, which now
• 14:00
  recognize that you exist. Oh goodness, I will shoot at the
• 14:06
  other stinky leg one. 22 Yes, you hit it and it also slides
• 14:10
  back, exploding into a bunch of pieces and causing two damage to
• 14:15
  the two drones next to it. Nice Iona.
• 14:18
  Thank you. I'm, I'm going to hide it.
• 14:21
  I'm just let me sneak past you and I'm going to hide behind
• 14:23
  these crates. Thank you.
• 14:25
  Vendel steps out of the vent. Where the fuck is Vendel?
• 14:29
  Vendel's in the vent. Oh, Vendel is in the vent.
• 14:32
  Vent What does Vendel do? I'm.
• 14:39
  Sure. Retro was doing those earlier
• 14:41
  when I got attacked by a drone. They say as they crawl their way
• 14:44
  out of this film. Let me look how far.
• 14:46
  How far is the movement? Five 10/15/2020, 5:30.
• 14:52
  Well, this is as close as you can get, Mendel.
• 14:54
  Mendels movies are 6 which is. A lot, which is 30.
• 14:59
  Vendel. I know math.
• 15:00
  You know, math and Vendel, without being able to get into
• 15:05
  Malay distance, pulls out a gun and shoots the.
• 15:09
  Yeah, Gun, gun, gun times. 18 Causing 12 damage and blowing
• 15:14
  this little drone apart. One of its legs flies off, but
• 15:18
  it's still alive. Well, good thing Gundell took a
• 15:20
  second shot. They take a second shot, doing
• 15:22
  slightly less damage, but it only needed just one more hit,
• 15:26
  and it explodes into a multitude of pieces, causing, you know,
• 15:29
  one damage to the ones next to it.
• 15:32
  Basically playing Yahtzee because their damage roles are
• 15:35
  just like on far 444333 maybe kicking ass right now.
• 15:43
  Well, Jim's going to go ahead and step out from behind his
• 15:47
  friends in front of VV and. Or not VV.
• 15:53
  Iona, that's Amy, right? Where's that VV?
• 15:55
  That's VV, That's me stand in front of.
• 15:57
  VVI also get VV and Iona confused.
• 16:00
  It's just that color wise, there's a lot of white and I
• 16:04
  just see why, I think I don't know.
• 16:06
  But really, there's that green there that should clue me into
• 16:09
  the fact that it's V Anyway. Jeb step in front of Evie, takes
• 16:13
  out his twin 40 fives, gives him a it was nice little.
• 16:18
  Oh, beautiful, beautiful. Oh darling.
• 16:23
  Blow a huge hole through one of these drones and it splits into
• 16:27
  a bunch of pieces. You shoot the other one, causing
• 16:30
  14 damage, and blow that into a bunch of pieces.
• 16:34
  It's a good shot. You feel pretty great.
• 16:36
  Impressive. Impressive.
• 16:39
  The drone cloud moves forward. Over.
• 16:41
  It's dead cohorts, these drone pieces on the ground and goes to
• 16:46
  attack Vendel. No, no get, get.
• 16:54
  Back here. Get.
• 16:57
  Get out of here. Get out of here.
• 17:03
  That is correct, 11. All right, cool.
• 17:06
  The swan goes to swipe at Vendel, and Vendel takes a
• 17:09
  sidestep. It tries to attack them again,
• 17:12
  rolling a crit. Fail and one of the drones
• 17:14
  inside the swarm pops as it glints past one of the lockers
• 17:19
  in this room and you see it receive damage from its own hit.
• 17:24
  Stupid drone. I will take a step, perhaps
• 17:31
  between Jeb and this crate here, and I will also take a shot at
• 17:39
  this drone I take out my Sandru. Hello Cutie Ultra K8 Assault
• 17:46
  Pistol. And attack. 19 Yes, that is very
• 17:52
  much a hit. Yeah, 17 is enough.
• 17:54
  It flies across the room, these bullets.
• 17:56
  He hits a bunch of the drones in the cloud and you can see it
• 17:59
  fizzle and get really angry and it loses a bunch of health.
• 18:02
  You didn't use auto fire. I think you can shoot twice.
• 18:07
  I can. 20 Lovely hit You hit so hard it actually pushes the
• 18:12
  drone cloud back, only causing 8 damage.
• 18:16
  It's oh, it's below half health blow half health in it.
• 18:20
  Oh, in it. All right, it it loses some of
• 18:24
  its ability to move, as enough of the drones have caused its
• 18:28
  mass to overcome its move. So now it moves.
• 18:33
  You can see it fizzle in the air.
• 18:35
  You hit it twice. Nice.
• 18:38
  Well, I'm just going to squeeze past all of you, 123 Mendel,
• 18:45
  could you move out of the way, please?
• 18:47
  Thank you. You're welcome.
• 18:49
  Bang. 20 You hit it square but only caused 6 damage.
• 18:54
  It only fizzles a little bit, so bang.
• 18:57
  You hit it again, and finally with that last hit, you hit the
• 19:01
  main controlling drone right in the middle and it explodes with
• 19:06
  a quite satisfying firework like pop.
• 19:09
  And this miniature combat is over.
• 19:12
  I don't know that we should have done that because we've alerted
• 19:16
  whoever's down here that we're here.
• 19:19
  We all not quite sure how to. I mean, listen, I I see bad
• 19:24
  guys, I shoot them, but it's what I've been doing for the
• 19:27
  past. Retro, you can come out the
• 19:29
  locker now. Oh God.
• 19:31
  Oh, it's fucking cold in there. What a miss.
• 19:34
  Oh well, that's good work over. Here build some drones.
• 19:38
  You know, Yeah. Well, let's see what I can steal
• 19:42
  on. Exception for the room while
• 19:43
  Retro rummages through these drones.
• 19:47
  Retro Roll 1D6 for each of the drones, not including the cloud
• 19:50
  one because there's nothing to salvage since when they were hit
• 19:55
  they did like four times the health they had left.
• 19:59
  They did. Explode so they don't exist
• 20:00
  anymore. 11 salvage for these. Drones.
• 20:04
  Nice. Now let me find my perception.
• 20:06
  Iona, as you're looking around, you see that there are these
• 20:09
  lockers dividing the room. There's a few sets of them.
• 20:12
  They are covered in cold, wet condensation.
• 20:16
  They're cold to the touch as well.
• 20:18
  You can feel how cold they are even by hovering your hand over
• 20:21
  them. To the West and South of the
• 20:22
  room are two doors. So there's a door to the South
• 20:25
  and there's a door to the east in this room, and there's a door
• 20:29
  that the drones were trying to get into to the north.
• 20:32
  Oh, they were trying to get into that door.
• 20:34
  It's locked 4774. The door gives a very unusual
• 20:40
  error. The door software looks
• 20:41
  completely different on this door, only only on the north
• 20:44
  door. Remy, I believe this is a job
• 20:47
  for you. OK, this door here.
• 20:50
  The north door, yeah, or. Which door?
• 20:52
  North door where we're all gathered.
• 20:54
  No, I don't see everything. No, the one where we're gathered
• 20:58
  by the drones up here to the north.
• 21:01
  I can't see everything. There's so many drones I can't
• 21:03
  see a door. I'm, I'm standing right here,
• 21:07
  Remy. We're all standing right here.
• 21:10
  He's blinded by all the loot. There's so much shiny.
• 21:13
  OK, I'm gonna rack my brain, try to remember everything that I
• 21:20
  did about Frank Einstein, and see if it relates to anything of
• 21:24
  my Scholarness. No.
• 21:28
  And you rolled a 29 electronic security tech and you notice
• 21:32
  that when you speak, the little circle on the screen pulses.
• 21:36
  Oh help. It pulses.
• 21:39
  Help just pulses, no reaction. It pulses to the tune of what
• 21:42
  you're saying. Do I reckon?
• 21:44
  Is this like a musical lock? Sing it a song.
• 21:48
  I wish I didn't live in squalor. I wish I had a collar.
• 21:52
  I wish I had a girl who was good.
• 21:53
  I would call her wish I had AVV and a hat with a bat with my 64
• 21:58
  Impala. Oh shit, that was that was kind
• 22:01
  of tight. That's really good.
• 22:02
  That's. Pretty good.
• 22:03
  Is there another verse? No, hold on, hold on.
• 22:11
  Then I could go get a holler. Bringing on Fendel.
• 22:16
  They are Mauler. Iona is the scholar with a
• 22:18
  dollar and Jeb is my wall. That's cool.
• 22:22
  What's the? I feel smaller.
• 22:24
  You feel smaller. That was really fun.
• 22:26
  All right. Like, I like the way that the
• 22:28
  thing glows. I wish it would just open.
• 22:31
  I just had an alert that said lost connection.
• 22:33
  Oh, I'm back now, OK. I wish it would just open.
• 22:36
  Open. Sorry, no open sesame.
• 22:39
  That's all I said. And on open sesame.
• 22:42
  The door. Open.
• 22:43
  This never actually worked for me.
• 22:47
  That's what I wrote down as. The solution to this puzzle is
• 22:49
  open. Sesame, you did it.
• 22:51
  Wow. Well, how am I supposed to know
• 22:55
  that? Well, your song probably helped.
• 22:59
  You step into this room to the north, and there's a computer
• 23:03
  with a single file open on it and a little window to the West
• 23:08
  and a door to the West as well. What?
• 23:10
  Is this tongue lugging thing? Why is this tube sticking a
• 23:14
  tongue at me? It looks like one of your
• 23:16
  machine. Yeah, that's what I was going.
• 23:18
  To say I would like to examine it.
• 23:20
  VV Examine it. I will examine it from a medical
• 23:25
  lens. As you examine it from a medical
• 23:27
  lens, you derive that it is medical technology.
• 23:31
  It is part of, as far as you can work out, part of the technology
• 23:34
  that you would use to put a human into a pod in a more
• 23:38
  permanent state. So this is what they're using.
• 23:41
  This is how they put people into the pods.
• 23:44
  This is how we make the pod people.
• 23:46
  I think so. Looks like it it's shut down,
• 23:50
  but this is what they use. Can I go take a look at it from
• 23:57
  a electronic standpoint under the headed lens?
• 24:04
  What do I see? You roll a, you roll a crit 34.
• 24:08
  So you discover not only has this not been used for a very
• 24:11
  long time, it's not been used for a long, long time, like 6
• 24:15
  months, maybe longer. The last time it was used, it
• 24:18
  seems to be was closer to when this facility was adjusted to
• 24:22
  its new purpose. It's much, much older, and the
• 24:26
  way it puts people into pods is a lot more focused on connecting
• 24:30
  their brain to a network than creating their than connecting
• 24:33
  their body. OK, I'm going to try to retain
• 24:36
  as much of this from my memory that I can even though I am
• 24:40
  high. So if I get high, I can retain
• 24:43
  it for sure and then I will I will disable this thing so it
• 24:46
  can never work again. Sounds good.
• 24:48
  I know we're blowing the place up, but like, you know it just.
• 24:52
  Wasn't me to do that, but you know.
• 24:54
  Little things you need to do are are fine if if you need to blow
• 24:58
  that up, I think that's good, Jebediah.
• 25:02
  Yep. Are you seeing what I'm seeing
• 25:04
  through this window? Oh, let's take a look.
• 25:06
  Whoa, what are we seeing? Oh, boy, Howdy.
• 25:09
  Looks. I've got a lot of pod people out
• 25:11
  there. Yeah, those are those are pods,
• 25:13
  yes. And then it looks like Doctor
• 25:15
  Abbott is in the middle there. Wait, what?
• 25:18
  Come, Come. Come.
• 25:19
  Look. Hold on, hold on.
• 25:22
  Is is Doctor Abbott like? A pod.
• 25:25
  Person siphoning the forks of all these people or something.
• 25:29
  What if they are? Maybe Doctor Abbott is making
• 25:34
  themselves a giant battery. I could see from here that maybe
• 25:40
  Doctor Abbott, she was the AAA battery the whole time.
• 25:44
  You're muted, Evan. Oh, you mean Doctor Alice
• 25:48
  Abbott? No, that was.
• 25:49
  Mary. Mary.
• 25:51
  That was Alice Lombre. So in retro critical thinking
• 25:57
  high mode, if all the batteries are connected to go to this
• 26:04
  thing and Abbott is in control and we are looking for the body
• 26:10
  frame thing, is it to assume that maybe they have attached
• 26:13
  themselves to said frame and all this power is to go to them for
• 26:17
  this? It doesn't look like they're in
• 26:19
  a frame. It doesn't look like it, but we
• 26:21
  can't fully see everything in that pod now can we?
• 26:24
  What if they are A-frame? I'll.
• 26:26
  I'll I'll give them a frame. You you frame this and I do the,
• 26:32
  I do the fisticuffs. Don't shake your fist in here.
• 26:35
  I don't want to get hit are. We going in?
• 26:39
  Do we go in? I mean, so we just glass come to
• 26:42
  glass. Oh yeah, and got the water
• 26:45
  coming here, Jeb. Wait, you still?
• 26:48
  This room isn't filled with the water.
• 26:50
  Oh, I thought that was outside in the sea.
• 26:52
  I was like, oh, we're under the sea, My bad.
• 26:55
  Under the sea. How old is he?
• 26:59
  What's this computer? Over here I I I'm not quite
• 27:01
  sure, but if I if I remember correctly, there is a door in
• 27:05
  the locker room that also should lead to this room.
• 27:10
  I mean, I think so, but there's also the door front on the
• 27:13
  opposite side. Retro, as you step up to the
• 27:14
  computer, there's one file on the screen and all it says is
• 27:18
  please, no more candidates stop in big bold letters.
• 27:22
  Oh, I mean, they said. Please, I will click it.
• 27:26
  There's nothing else on the computer, just that glowing
• 27:29
  circle and as the background. Well, somebody said no more
• 27:33
  candidates, and they said in a very nice, polite communication
• 27:38
  letter. So it sounds like somebody has
• 27:43
  regrets. Yeah, that's what I thought too.
• 27:48
  Sorry, we're in the weird space where we just don't respond to
• 27:51
  each other anymore. I'm making my way back down.
• 27:56
  Make them all on your way. There's a door in this room that
• 27:59
  you are all in. Are you going to open it?
• 28:02
  Well, I can see that this door goes into this room and there
• 28:06
  are other doors to explore. I want to do this one that's
• 28:09
  down to the South. I'm following Remy.
• 28:12
  There's no rush. There are a bunch of pod people.
• 28:14
  Nothing's happening now. They're not going anywhere.
• 28:17
  Exactly. Exactly.
• 28:20
  The door from this side is easy to open.
• 28:22
  The button lets you open it to the South and it Pistons.
• 28:25
  I was going. To walk up to the door and go
• 28:28
  open sesame it. Didn't work.
• 28:30
  It's just a button on the panel that says open.
• 28:33
  Oh shit. OK, I should have done that
• 28:35
  first. In this tiny room, as you step
• 28:38
  more S, you see you're in a little corridor.
• 28:41
  There are two red sofas and a vending machine and nothing
• 28:43
  else. Well, I mean, there's another
• 28:45
  door. Well, if I, if I have my layout
• 28:50
  of this facility, correct, that's probably just the
• 28:54
  corridor we came from with the couches.
• 28:57
  Oh, OK. Yeah, it looks like we've made a
• 29:00
  loop Retro. We've circled around again, OK.
• 29:04
  So now there are two doors. There's the door in the locker
• 29:06
  room, and then there's the door in the next to the window.
• 29:10
  Oh, what's in this vending machine?
• 29:11
  I mean, we're already here. Well, let me see what's in.
• 29:16
  This thing there is a battery that you could retrofit into
• 29:19
  your gun that would give you 4 more shots and there is a packet
• 29:22
  of Gisner snaps. How much is all that?
• 29:26
  The Gisner snaps are 15 and the battery is 35.
• 29:31
  OK. It's free if you hack it.
• 29:35
  Or if you just smash the glass. Oh, don't do that in a sub Bay
• 29:40
  because it's full of oxygen and it could kill you the.
• 29:42
  Machines full of. Oxy.
• 29:43
  No. If you're in a sub Bay and you
• 29:44
  see a vending machine, don't. It says it on the airlock.
• 29:48
  Jeb almost killed us, didn't you, Jeb?
• 29:50
  Yeah, but that's what that ain't the first time.
• 29:52
  That's true. Well, I mean, this thing's
• 29:54
  getting blown up anyway, so you can't collect the money.
• 29:56
  All right. Yeah.
• 29:57
  I'm going to go ahead and give it the good old Fonzie. 34 Crit
• 30:04
  Nice. Wow.
• 30:06
  That's very high, yes. You boot the machine and it
• 30:08
  drops both the items with absolutely no effort whatsoever.
• 30:12
  Nice smooth battery. And a little bit of money comes
• 30:15
  out. Fine.
• 30:16
  And a little bit of money comes out you.
• 30:17
  Take a bit of money. Oh, I've made money.
• 30:20
  You get, you get 5 eddies back. Yay.
• 30:25
  You're welcome. Thank you, Iona.
• 30:27
  I'm going to open up the jizz and snaps and put one in.
• 30:31
  Oh, hey Jeff, go along. Yeah, I'm going to toss a jizz
• 30:35
  and snap toys. Roll Athletics and I I try to
• 30:38
  catch it in my mouth. Got to got to roll for the small
• 30:42
  fun things as well I think. Wait, which one rolls Athletics?
• 30:46
  You do? OK, we're.
• 30:48
  Catching it OK, no lows dosed. Crit 20 + 2, you catch it and
• 30:53
  then you juggle it with your tongue, and then you catch it
• 30:56
  again. That was really cool.
• 31:01
  That was. Also.
• 31:01
  Disgusting, Jed that. Was disgusting to watch.
• 31:06
  What what that mouth do? I don't want to know.
• 31:10
  I mean, listen. Van Dell goes back to the North
• 31:13
  Room. Do we want to try this door?
• 31:15
  Locker room door. OK, leave the weight with us.
• 31:21
  4774 I'm just going to try it. What What is the point of me
• 31:27
  having a memory of a code if it doesn't work on every single
• 31:30
  door? Open sesame sesame oil sesame
• 31:36
  bun. You have to roll to get through
• 31:38
  this door, mate. Abracadabra. 22.
• 31:44
  NO1234. Not enough?
• 31:48
  Oh. Not enough?
• 31:50
  Yeah, this is a very secure door.
• 31:51
  It is possible, but that's not enough.
• 31:56
  You you've got this, Remy. I believe in you.
• 31:59
  OK, I can't reroll the same thing.
• 32:01
  I just. Rolled I know.
• 32:02
  I'm trying to think of how I can use the help action besides
• 32:08
  encouraging you. Oh God.
• 32:11
  Listen, just just imagine it. It's just like that vending
• 32:15
  machine you just Fonz aid. You roll a crit fail -8 and as
• 32:20
  you're fiddling with the door retro, one of your cyber fingers
• 32:23
  gets stuck to one of the keys and you just get this massive
• 32:27
  electric jolt and your whole body goes stiff and your screen
• 32:32
  change it and now there's a circle flowing in your screen
• 32:35
  and out of your mouth come the words you do another job and you
• 32:46
  step. Back from the.
• 32:47
  Computer. Fuck it didn't work.
• 32:51
  And you take one HP damage. What else do I do?
• 32:55
  We could try the other door in the north room.
• 32:57
  Yeah. OK.
• 32:58
  Well, I guess this thing isn't working.
• 32:59
  What else? Yeah, there's there's nothing
• 33:02
  else to do. Where's that other door?
• 33:04
  Did I try 4774? I did.
• 33:05
  I did. There's this fucking door.
• 33:08
  Can I try 6996 real fast 8008? 8008 SI Don't.
• 33:18
  Think there are only. There are only 44444.
• 33:25
  We're just going to force combo our way through this.
• 33:27
  I am going to force combo my way through this 4444.
• 33:31
  So you're standing at this door, are you?
• 33:33
  Are you talking about this door up here?
• 33:35
  No, the door. The Remy couldn't.
• 33:38
  Open. No, it doesn't open.
• 33:41
  All right. We're at the north door.
• 33:43
  And as you step up towards it, Iona, the panel goes green and
• 33:47
  the door. Opens.
• 33:50
  That was easy. Oh.
• 33:52
  Thank God. What's that?
• 33:53
  Facial recognition. Hello, we're just.
• 33:56
  Well, that too late. Hold on, hold on, hold on.
• 33:59
  Oh, they were talking. They were talking.
• 34:01
  I opened the door. They're.
• 34:02
  Monologuing this is going to be good.
• 34:05
  Hello. Sleeper.
• 34:10
  It's been a while. Hi.
• 34:13
  They call me Retro, not Sleeper. What's up?
• 34:16
  They're not talking to you. Oh.
• 34:33
  Next time on no latency. Everybody, sidebar, sidebar,
• 34:41
  Everyone come in real quick. Yeah, yeah, sidebar, no problem.
• 34:43
  Yes. We might want to run away.
• 34:45
  And we should blow this place up.
• 34:46
  It's. Valid.
• 34:48
  And not really worry about anything else.
• 34:49
  I think so. Sasha died.
• 34:51
  Let's blow this bitch. And said that they saw a
• 34:53
  horrible thing. Well, she did say that.
• 34:56
  Which was probably this. Usually screams bad let's.
• 34:59
  Not piss them off. What do you want?
• 35:01
  What's this about sleeping? Oh God.
• 35:04
  What? Does it mean though?
• 35:05
  We'll deal with Frog. Uh huh.
• 35:07
  And you're just to be clear, you're not in the eye.
• 35:09
  And when we come back. What's your ace?
• 35:12
  We should get some answers. It's a safe state for your
• 35:15
  brain. What do we know about this frog?
• 35:18
  I mean, we are underwater. You never know when somebody's
• 35:20
  going to be injured and you need a quakey.
• 35:22
  So there's that. And I want all of you to do your
• 35:25
  best to make it out alive. I want everyone getting out
• 35:28
  alive. You're scaring me, Iona.
• 35:30
  You don't need to be scared. Well, I mean, we are storming
• 35:33
  the castle. Hurry, hurry.
• 35:34
  Come on, I'll grab your hand. Thank you for joining us on our
