S2E50 - Underwater Cover · No Latency

0:02
Last time on no latency. You know, I'm just really glad
0:05
that we took the time to give back to the community we're
0:08
making out in the kitchen. I have conflicted emotions about
0:11
that. You were necking, Reeves.
0:13
Yeah, yeah. Let's stop spilling the bubble
0:15
tea. Let's figure this out.
0:16
Oh, that is juicy. Why is blowing it up always the
0:20
answer? Going through the front door has
0:22
usually been our jam, but. I vote from below as well, not
0:26
just because it's cool. Going to be honest, first time
0:29
on the water. Stay in a straight line.
0:32
Easy does it. We should make it perfectly past
0:35
everything. Yes, here we go.
0:37
Unless they drifted to us. Right, you're right.
0:39
Whose port? I don't know.
0:41
I'm. I'm on the left.
0:42
That's you, Jeff. Oh Lord, oh Lord, oh.
0:45
Shoot. It OK oh.
0:46
Boy, I don't know why, but I have a sinking feeling.
1:00
Right. So do you.
1:03
Do we wait here? You're going to have to wait
1:07
here. Right.
1:08
And and if and if it gets like if I get attacked or if it's and
1:14
I leave, will you be angry? No, I'll just kill you.
1:21
That's shitty. But fair, I would feel, right.
1:25
You'll have us to die so. We're not really to die.
1:28
Like if if they're going to blow up the submarine and I will die
1:31
along with the sub, leaving you stranded here but also me dead.
1:36
Would you not prefer for me to, like, go further away and still
1:39
be in radio contact? We'll definitely do that.
1:44
Right, OK. That's what I was asking.
1:45
I wasn't saying I was going to go back to my Well, that's what
1:49
it sounded like you weren't very explicit with.
1:52
That's what I meant the first time.
1:53
And I'm lying right now. Who knows?
1:56
Well, I don't like liars. I'm not a liar.
2:00
I'm, I'm pirate. Help me you are.
2:04
Let's not instill in confidence, all right, I'm going to take it
2:11
on a case by case basis with you right now.
2:13
That's fair. All right, let's just.
2:17
If this over would then. Let's get gold.
2:20
Shall we head in? And hatch.
2:23
Retro grabs the Hatch handle spinner and spins it and the
2:27
Hatch Pistons open and you are here in the wet dock.
2:32
There's a rectangular room you're in.
2:35
You're in sort of a pit of water and a bit like a diving bell.
2:39
This is where the submarine came up underneath and it's broken
2:42
the surface. You're now standing on top of
2:44
the submarine. There's nobody in here.
2:46
Yeah. Looks like.
2:49
Because you all managed to stealth your way in.
2:51
Stealth out on getting plank onto the dock and I can just
2:55
feel the pressure of the compressed air down here.
2:58
It feels like when it's really muggy out, right?
3:03
And you can just feel that kind of like air pressure, stickiness
3:07
to your skin. Yeah, also, it smells like salt.
3:12
It does. Oh, Retro, you wouldn't know
3:14
that. That's right.
3:15
Sorry. Smells the same to me.
3:20
Everything smells the same to you.
3:21
You you think maybe when we get back you should you should maybe
3:25
invest in like a olfactory module or something, you know,
3:33
put right there underneath your your CD tray.
3:37
I mean, that's true, but to be honest, now I can eat both my
3:40
veggies and chocolate and it all tastes the same.
3:44
To investigate this room further, roll Perception.
3:47
Sure, this. Is my perception song.
3:51
Whoa, go ahead. VV You rolled 21 and what you
3:57
perceive in this room is that the the lockers on either side
4:03
of the room, there are just two lockers in here for holding
4:05
equipment there are they're open, you can tell that they're
4:09
unlocked and. Jeb, as you're climbing up from
4:13
the gangplank, making your way into the little area in front of
4:18
the door that is the exit to this room, you kick something.
4:22
When you look down, it's some eddies.
4:24
You found 200 eddies because you rolled 23 + 4.
4:28
There's you means around, huh? Wow.
4:32
I'm going to. We'll peek in these lockers, see
4:34
what's in there. You open one of the lockers and
4:36
there is a wet suit and a rebreather, OK?
4:40
This is good for us to have in case.
4:43
One of our rebreathers goes. Yeah, in case we need an extra,
4:47
I'll grab the rebreather at least.
4:50
The wet suit will fit everyone since it's very stretchy.
4:54
What's in the other locker? In the other locker is another
4:57
wet suit, but the rebreather is missing and at the bottom of the
5:03
locker you can see a 50 Eddy Bill.
5:06
Oh, more money. I'll take it.
5:10
OK, there's a couple of wet suits here, so and a rebreather,
5:13
so if we need some extra stuff, at least we know it's here.
5:17
Yeah, no, no need to carry it around with us.
5:19
As boats goes, come back wherever if you need it.
5:21
I guess we don't need to. I'll take the rebreather just in
5:24
case, but I don't want to carry around the wet suits.
5:26
Bendel just looks at Retro's Tetramino backpack.
5:30
I mean you do have the space. Nice backpack you got there.
5:34
That's where I keep all my Jizziness snaps.
5:37
You don't have that many jizz and the snaps, and anyway the
5:40
boom box is full. All right.
5:41
Throw them in there just in case.
5:43
So you grab both wet suits and you only really have enough
5:46
space for about three or four more things.
5:50
All right, let's press forward then, shall we?
5:54
We shall. As you walk up to the door, you
5:57
see on the door it says authorized personnel only.
6:03
Well. Well, because we got turned
6:05
around, we're not authorized. We knew.
6:07
This was going to be stealth all the way through, so let's
6:11
proceed with caution. Maybe open the door just a
6:15
smidge and see if there's anybody on the other side.
6:18
Wait, should we have, should we have Retro Go in and, you know,
6:21
take a look at this padlock or something, see if there's an
6:23
alarm, all right? I'll take a look at the the
6:26
security. Security.
6:29
The thing you notice about this door is that it's an airlock
6:32
door. So if this room flooded, the
6:34
water would not pour through this door.
6:37
All right. So if you need to open this door
6:40
quietly and want to, it will be more difficult since there is an
6:45
air seal involved. I'm going to want to open it
6:50
quietly all. Right, I tried 33.
6:52
Yes, the the mechanism on the outside has a bunch of little
6:58
sockets that you can plug in one of your figure attachments to.
7:02
And you're able to manually undo the bolts on the side.
7:06
Don't do that. And then very slowly let the air
7:09
out. So instead of sounding loud like
7:13
an airlock, sounds, kind of sounds like you're letting the
7:15
air out of the balloon very carefully.
7:18
The only noise that actually happens is a fairly solid thunk.
7:25
Pretty sure you got away with it all right.
7:28
I got the door. Y'all.
7:31
Let me help. OK, I got the.
7:32
Back. So you walk into this little air
7:37
lock room. Oh, this door's not locked.
7:39
So are we going to, like, peer out?
7:42
Be stealthy Stealth mission if you're on site.
7:47
So somebody rolls stealth if you want to peer out this door.
7:50
I mean there's. Unless you want to just barrel
7:51
in like you and the place, no. 14.
8:00
Yes, Jade, you open the door and you're able to just peek out
8:04
without being seen. I am seeing a sitting area.
8:12
Looks like some couches, some lockers, Oh.
8:18
Shit, I see there's glass and behind the glass is a desk and
8:24
there is someone sitting at the desk.
8:27
I'm gonna duck my head back inside so if we go into this
8:30
room, someone will see us. I own a role perception
8:34
perception. 15 Yes, that's enough.
8:38
The thing you notice about this person sitting at that desk you
8:41
just observed is that they are playing with their agent and.
8:48
Is that is that what the kids are calling it these days?
8:51
You can see the colours of some kind of video or game reflecting
8:55
on their face. Oh OK, they got joystick.
9:00
If someone is stealthy enough, you might be able to get to the
9:07
door that is closest to us. I'm also trying to think who our
9:13
most stealthy person is. I've got enough.
9:15
Regretting it. I'll sneak in and I'll throw
9:20
your back. Doc.
9:22
You know, hit him in the hand and then they'll get knocked
9:25
down. I wait.
9:28
I do have to say something. From what I can see through this
9:31
door. Still, I saw movement of another
9:34
person there. So there are multiple people in
9:38
there. It looks like it.
9:40
What if we just bust in real fast and say everyone get on the
9:45
fucking ground or we're going to blow your faces off?
9:49
That really goes against our stealth mission, yeah, yeah.
9:55
Can I see if, can I do a perception to see if there's any
9:57
ventilation into that room that we can access?
10:00
Sure, let. Me.
10:01
Take a look. 14 There is not ventilation that you can access
10:06
that gets into there. However, there is a vent in the
10:10
roof of the airlock you're in that would take you to right
10:14
outside the door, avoiding the window 14.
10:18
Wait, the vents that big? That's a big ass fence.
10:21
You could squeeze through it. Vendale could very easily get
10:23
through there. And it would lead you to past
10:26
the window, continuing your stealth mission.
10:32
Hey guys, there's a vent above. A smaller person could fit
10:39
through there. My head for sure is not going to
10:41
fit in that thing. I'm a smaller person.
10:44
Vandal can fit. I can fit.
10:47
Only broad. Slow.
10:50
Phoebe could fit. They're pretty small.
10:52
Yeah, I probably could. Jeb, you're pretty skinny.
10:55
I think the only person who can't fit is retro because your
10:58
head, you're not fat. So I got a fat head.
11:02
Yeah, but I'm like, I just want to point out that, like, you
11:04
know, you carry a lot of stuff. You're actually fairly strong.
11:06
You're just kind of stocky. What if?
11:09
OK, So what if, like most of us go through the vent and then
11:15
retro, you quietly get to the other door?
11:19
That reduces at least the risk of all of us walking through
11:21
and. Alerting the people in there to
11:24
just one while the rest of us go through the vents maybe.
11:29
Well, all right. How about you guys?
11:32
If you guys want to go take a look at the vents, I'd like to
11:34
go and check these lockers real quick.
11:37
But you. Might have seen Kevin.
11:39
It might. Yeah, it's.
11:42
I'm gonna do. I'm gonna do a quick dash cross.
11:44
OK. Do you do you follow Vendel into
11:47
the vents? Yes.
11:51
Iona, do you follow Vendel into the vents?
11:53
I do. And does Jeb follow you into
11:56
the? Vents.
11:57
I think so, yeah. All right, everybody, follow me.
12:00
All right, leave the white. Iona, as you get into the vent,
12:04
you're a little uncomfortable because it is quite dusty in
12:06
here. Yes.
12:09
Oh, you're on a nine. Oh, wow.
12:11
With all that extra sanitizer. We're just sliding along.
12:14
That's quiet. Well done.
12:15
Thank you. It's a little slimy, but that's
12:18
OK. It'll allow.
12:18
You. I'm a little light headed from
12:21
the alcohol smells so strong. I don't know.
12:25
This is kind of a lot. You're all heading down into the
12:31
vent, and you drop out just in front of the door, out of the
12:35
prying eyes of the people inside, silently.
12:38
Now we just have to hope that Retro makes it through.
12:41
Yeah, run your Stealth 15. Yes, you peek out and you see
12:47
the person at the desk kind of look really happy, as if they've
12:50
beaten a level. It's a perfect moment to dash
12:52
across into the area with the lockers.
13:07
OK. I'm going to check in these
13:08
lockers, I'm going to see if there's anything in them.
13:10
OK, do it quietly. What am I not quiet all?
13:15
The time. Retro You look through the
13:17
lockers, roll Perception 3 * 1814 and 17.
13:21
In one of the lockers you find a it's it's like a wet suit, but
13:27
it's more like a diving suit. It's got metal armour attached
13:31
to the outside in case you were to come up against some of the
13:35
wildlife outside or presumably the turrets.
13:38
Any kind of it. It would protect you against
13:40
thermal radiation quite well, so it looks like it's probably
13:43
designed for that. One of the other lockers you
13:45
don't find a lot. You find about 110 eddies and a
13:49
packet of gizmos snaps, and in the final locker that you
13:54
managed to pry open you find a oxygen tank.
13:58
What you? Don't need if you have a
14:00
rebreather. Yeah, I'll just trash that.
14:03
It's a well, oxygen's really flat.
14:05
OK, true. I don't think I can carry it.
14:07
I don't think. I don't think I can fit it in my
14:09
Tetromino backpack. You I said you could have four
14:11
more things. That's three things.
14:13
Well, no, it's not. It's it's two things because
14:15
money doesn't take up space. And either there's the Gisner
14:17
snaps you can. No, because I just eat.
14:18
I just eat those already. All right, so you eat the.
14:21
Gisner storing those in your stomach.
14:24
Oh, it's mixed like the cigarettes.
14:28
I know you don't need it, but you gain two half.
14:30
Yay, I'm also filled with happiness now.
14:33
Yeah. All that ginger.
14:36
All right, we're we're outside the door.
14:37
What do we do now? I.
14:38
Don't think we're going to get this far, to be honest.
14:41
Stealth probably continue to do that.
14:45
All right. Are we?
14:45
Do we? Are we just killing everyone?
14:49
Yeah, you don't. You know, I just maybe, maybe we
14:52
should have asked for, like, sleeping darts or something.
14:58
Yeah. If only if one of us had
14:59
sleeping darts. No.
15:02
Yeah, I I can't help but feel like you're looking at me.
15:08
I'm not looking at. You.
15:09
I have trunk cards. Oh.
15:14
But I only have five of them so. Well, maybe there are only 5
15:18
people we don't know. We might have to make it, make
15:23
them last. So, you know, maybe we can trunk
15:26
somebody and then pull it out. We should make them count.
15:31
Oh goodness. As you're all standing next to
15:33
the door, the you notice that the door doesn't quite meet the
15:36
ground, so your hush tones aren't heard on the other side,
15:41
but you could slip something under the door if you wanted to.
15:45
Like a trek though. If you can aim it well.
15:47
Or we could just burst through the door and just pop.
15:52
It's a little risky, you. Could also just interact them
15:55
with drugs, couldn't we? I I have an idea actually.
15:58
What's that? I could send risky through as a
16:02
distraction and then you can pop open the door and shoot them
16:07
with the trank darts. Or just running and and pop them
16:10
out upside the head with the baseball man.
16:14
I I like Iona's plan. I think the distraction is good
16:20
and I unclippers. Do Jeb's plan.
16:23
The as a as a as as a backup. That's the as a backup.
16:27
It's a great plan, Jeb, OK? Great backup.
16:30
Thank you. So I, I, I unclip Risky.
16:38
Oh God. OK, I was going to tell you to
16:40
go in there and start blinking lights and making noise, but if
16:43
you if you go in there and do that and say, oh woo a bunch,
16:48
I'm sure that they will either think you're cute or a menace
16:54
and that won't be enough of a distraction.
16:56
Can you do that for me? Oh, yeah.
16:59
All right, I'm going to send you under the door now.
17:06
No risky Spent too much time with Phoebe's gun.
17:11
Risky climbs down your leg and scooches underneath the door
17:16
into this little sub room and starts to make some noise and
17:21
you can hear the people on the other side.
17:24
Start to react and the guards now jumping up and down trying
17:30
to like step on risky but risky's jumping around, roll
17:33
evasion and the guy drops his agent on the ground.
17:36
Oh fuck no. No bugs.
17:37
I. Fucking have bugs.
17:42
There's not. A good bugs in the water, OK?
17:44
Oh Lord. And you hear a little crunch.
17:49
On. Well, on that I with just enough
17:53
distraction, I burst in and try to shoot them both with trank
17:56
darts. Do it.
17:57
I'm going to put three luck into this shot.
18:02
Risky is giving you plus one because they failed their
18:05
evasion. I'll still put the three, so 4
18:08
total. I'd like to help just by sending
18:11
good vibes. I feel the positive energy.
18:15
I want to run with my combat shovel like, just in case he
18:18
doesn't go down immediately and just like.
18:20
Kunk. Him right outside the head.
18:21
So VV, you step in, your first shot hits the guard who just
18:26
stepped on risky right in the back of the neck and go and he
18:31
falls over and faints. You cock the dart gun and point
18:36
it at the. Second one, I'm going to put two
18:39
luck into this one as well, just in case. 24 And the dart hits
18:46
him square in the middle of the. Head Whoa.
18:48
That's not. And he fights on the ground.
18:52
All right, they're both dead. We did it and.
18:55
Jim is like running like, right, Like as he goes, oh, that's.
18:58
Not good, just goes tongue with. The shovel right across.
19:02
And he falls on the ground. Risky.
19:04
Unfortunately is fairly damaged, not.
19:07
Dead, but very broken. I scoop up their little, tiny
19:11
little body and I put them in my pocket.
19:14
I'm so sorry. Risky will return, but you now
19:19
have to repair risky in some form.
19:22
Retro. We knocked him out.
19:24
We did it. Oh shit, I can go back.
19:27
Yeah, yeah, yeah. Come over.
19:28
Here. Oh, OK, yeah.
19:29
Just look around the corner, OK? Yeah.
19:31
And as you walk into the into the room.
19:33
Retro You can see Jib standing over one of the guys with a
19:37
shovel A. Huge bruise already starting to
19:41
form on his head. Oh yeah, he's, he's got, he's
19:44
got a knot on his head pretty good.
19:47
Phoebe, how long does the tranquilizer effect work for?
19:52
I don't know. Let's look it up.
19:56
I'm going to say probably an hour.
19:58
That feels right. Well, I mean.
20:01
Yeah, but you combine that with a concussion, he might be out
20:05
for days. I.
20:06
Mean we should probably still tie them up.
20:08
Good point. With what?
20:11
50 foot of hemp and rope. It's in your back.
20:15
I just have 50 feet hemp and rope.
20:18
Oh wow. I didn't.
20:19
Realize I have this. No, it's a tabletop joke.
20:21
We'll just use some wires or something.
20:24
Well, I was going to ask, is the computer still on?
20:27
Yeah, it's on. Well first I wanna go see if I
20:30
can access anything on that. Yeah, I think this is only gonna
20:33
last about an hour. You're right.
20:36
What can I find on my computer? Basic tech.
20:40
So as you're rummaging around the desk, you open one of the
20:43
drawers and you find this guy's junk drawer.
20:45
And in it. Is a spare keyboard a few wired
20:49
mice? There's a dumb telephone
20:52
extension for an agent or tile that looks like an old school
20:55
telephone you plug in. It's got a nice curly wire to
20:58
it. It's got 1/5 of gin.
21:00
I wonder why it's this drunk drawer.
21:02
And there's a packet of Gisner snaps in there as well.
21:06
And on the computer is the roster, and it tells you that
21:10
there are seven people on shift on this level.
21:15
Check the name tags of the two passed out people.
21:18
It's Tim and Eric. Load those guys.
21:24
We got a couple millionaires. All right, Well, who's that
21:29
Shibari tire here? It's is it Iona?
21:32
It is Iona. Yeah.
21:34
Oh, it's always me. You're the one that usually
21:36
makes the joke. I do always make Shibari jokes.
21:40
All right, give. Give me those.
21:43
Those wires, I suppose. Time up.
21:46
I'm going to check these two lockers right here.
21:49
Is there anything in them? There's 100 eddies and a God
21:54
uniform. All right, yeah, I'll take those
21:57
and then we'll just shove them in the lockers like we're back
21:59
in high school. Or in you're solid.
22:02
Iona, that's a That's a cool nut.
22:04
Did you? Is that new?
22:07
Yeah, I was watching a view tube.
22:10
A video of a a Shibari master, a new one that I haven't seen
22:14
before. And then they taught me this
22:18
Interesting. That knot looks like a :).
22:22
No, it doesn't matter. Isn't that cute?
22:23
That's very cute. All right, roll something to tie
22:26
them well. What is wrong?
22:30
No. I'm using.
22:31
Their last? Operation not going to do it.
22:36
Iona can't not be good at tying Shabari.
22:39
Can't not be good. I'm using all my inspiration
22:42
today because somebody's having a bad rolling day. 14 Yes, you
22:48
managed to tie up the guard and the desk person, and you help
22:54
everybody put them into these lockers in the process of
22:58
putting the guard into Shabari, though, because you rolled over
23:01
at 12. You managed to remove a large
23:04
portion of their uniform, including their wading trousers
23:10
that go over their regular trousers and their jackets, so
23:13
you can probably get away with looking like a guard.
23:15
Oh. So we have two guard uniforms
23:18
now. Yes, I think that VV and Jeb
23:22
should probably Don those since we're pretty recognizable or
23:28
Vendel and now it's also Canon that Jeb can do voices.
23:35
That we already made that Canon during the Halloween thing when
23:38
we all pretended to be each other.
23:39
You're right. Oh my God.
23:41
It's character growth. So should we put the uniforms on
23:47
now? Sure.
23:49
Yeah. My good.
23:52
Phoebe, shall I? Or do you?
23:53
What do you? Yes, I I think.
23:57
I suppose I will. OK.
24:00
Let's get some. I'll get some some some wild
24:03
sounds here for you. It's not very.
24:07
It's not loud enough. It's OK.
24:09
I've got them. I've got the sounds for this.
24:10
It's don't worry about. It zip.
24:13
Zip There's loads of there's loads of clothing sounds on
24:15
Epidemic. It's actually kind of cool.
24:18
You know, Jeb, not to mean this in the uncomfortable way, but
24:23
that guard uniform. Pretty form fitting on you.
24:26
Looks good. Oh, thank you.
24:28
I appreciate that. But but don't don't call me Jim
24:30
no more. I'm now Tim and I love.
24:40
Cookies and my wife. Oh God.
24:43
And fish. Cookies.
24:47
Fish and my wife. I'm Tim.
24:49
Retro While Vivi and Jeb have been getting changed into these
24:55
outfits, they shuffled off to the lockers to get changed and
24:59
to look nice. You fiddled around the computer
25:02
and found the door unlock function on the computer to
25:05
unlock the door in this room. While you're on that computer,
25:08
can you maybe can you maybe check to see if there's any CCTV
25:12
footage of of Tim? Because I I was just going off
25:16
the hook off of his name. What about what Sam's like?
25:20
I have really know what. You know what, Jeb?
25:22
You're lucky, cuz Tim had his garden profile locked in.
25:27
So I have his whole garden profile.
25:30
I'm gonna send it to you right now.
25:32
Boop. That's good.
25:33
That's. You, you hand over the garden
25:35
profile to Jeb, and Jeb starts reading it over to work out any
25:39
of the movements and things that they're into.
25:42
And after Jeb's suggestion, you look inside the computer to see
25:46
if there are any cameras you can look through on this level, and
25:50
you have this sudden sense of unease as there are none.
25:55
There is no, there's no CCTV cameras here on here, which is.
26:01
One of two things. One, they decided they didn't
26:04
need to put any in, because who would be dumb enough to really
26:07
break into a place like this and need to have those?
26:10
Or two, they're really trying to hide something down here that
26:15
they don't want people to see. Looking for an RPG podcast that

Come discover a new world. Both.
27:10
I'm going to. I'm going to bank on #2 as being
27:13
the deal. Or maybe this computer just
27:16
doesn't have access to it. Either way, let's let's be
27:21
careful about this. I'm all go ahead and unlock the
27:25
door, OK? Who wants to be the first to
27:28
step out? Should probably be one of the
27:31
guards. Yeah, yeah.
27:32
I think Tim's pretty pretty, pretty excited to get in there.
27:36
Am I Tim or Eric? I forgot.
27:38
Well, I'm. I'm Tim.
27:39
You must be Eric. Got it.
27:43
Then Dale gets out of shopping do.

27:52
Roll forgery for Vendel Forgery 11.
28:01
Yes it is possible. A nice mid roll, pretty mid.
28:06
That's all right. It's a slightly different black,
28:08
but if no one's paying attention, they won't notice.
28:10
All right, you too. Good luck.
28:12
Let's go. Vivi and Jeb.
28:14
You first. Step out into the hallway.
28:18
OK. Yeah why don't you check over
28:20
there and I'll be I'll be on this side just looking out for
28:25
any intruders. But really I think you should
28:30
you know you get the left side and if you see anybody you you
28:33
you do the you do the signal and that way I know that you're that
28:38
you need your help my help and then I'll I'll come and help you
28:43
out. All right.
28:44
Role perception. I had no idea Tim was from Neo
28:47
Me in Minneapolis. Neo Minneapolis.
28:52
Yeah, 18 on perception. That's great.
28:55
As you step into this area on your left, you see two vending
28:58
machines. One is exclusively jizziness.
29:01
Snaps. Man, Retro is going to love
29:02
this. And the second one has a bunch
29:07
of really useful underwater equipment.
29:10
There's a little climbing claw that you can wear as a glove.
29:15
There's one rebreather and there is an underwater ration, but the
29:19
bottom layer is all just chocolates.
29:22
Oh wow. All this diving gear and then
29:24
chocolate. That's nice.
29:26
Well, I'll make note of that in case we need it.
29:28
Added sea salt. Always it's anti the bands
29:31
chocolate but like Auntie, Auntie Auntie bands.
29:36
And as you step into the area, you notice there's a big
29:40
circular pillar in the middle with like a red warning ring
29:43
around it. It's probably where the oil rigs
29:46
drill is. And then there are a few boxes
29:49
and crates spread around. There's a door in front of you,
29:51
and to the left you spy a guard just minding his own business
29:55
standing next to a door. You're fairly far away.
29:58
So he sort of looks over to you, but sees the uniforms and pays
30:00
no other attention. It's working.
30:04
I'll keep walking, mom. Bye.
30:07
Like I belong here and. Yep, I'm right behind you there,
30:11
Erica. Just just I, I I don't see any
30:15
intruders. So I think, you know, our rounds
30:18
are going great. Yeah, let's just kind of step in
30:21
real quick in this room. Just doing our rounds.
30:24
As you step into the room, there's a guard sitting at this
30:26
little break room table and he's having a little drink and
30:30
watching a video on his agent. Looks like it's all clear in
30:34
here. All right, that's great.
30:36
Who the? Fuck, are you?
30:39
We're Tim and Eric. Erica.
30:42
Yeah, we I'm not. I'm not Erica.
30:45
She's Erica. I'm Tim.
30:47
Role Acting I need to put now I know I need to start.
30:50
Putting more, more, more points in acting. 14 Jeb Very good.
30:57
It's not bad. I'm not.
30:58
The guy looks at you well. It's not my shift, so fuck it.
31:02
Cool high. I guess it's not like you'd be
31:05
able to sneak into this super secret base anyway.
31:09
Right, his next. I mean, honestly, I kind of I
31:12
you wonder why they hire the guards to begin with.
31:16
But anyway, you have a great day now.
31:19
Yeah, I is it, is it not? What was in that room, by the
31:25
way? Besides him?
31:26
Anything of. There's a computer.
31:29
There are a few lockers, some sofas, a table and the door to
31:31
the bathroom. Ah, there's always a bathroom.
31:33
Yes. All right.
31:37
I suppose we should probably go. Maybe let our friends know.
31:40
I mean this, this this room here is clear, so let them know you
31:43
don't bring them into the next room.
31:45
There's a guy down here, Marius, Yes.
31:48
Hello. Oh, hello.
31:52
So ain't you see any intruders? No, I mean, you're new.
31:56
Who are you? We're, it's Tim and Erica.
32:01
OK, we already have a Tim and and Eric, but not an Erica, I
32:05
suppose. Right, Well, they they actually,
32:08
they're using their their PTO. Oh yeah, we all have a lot of
32:12
PTO. Yeah, yeah.
32:13
So we're just the the temps just happened.
32:16
He isn't that hilarious. We got almost the same names.
32:19
Yeah, we we haven't had anybody go down to the downstairs place
32:23
in like a good few weeks, so. Yeah.
32:27
Oh, OK. Yeah, by the way, there was like
32:32
the other guy in in that room. He was, I think he was doing
32:36
something inappropriate and I I feel a little uncomfortable to
32:42
approach him. So I was wondering if you
32:45
wouldn't mind like, I don't know, talking to him.
32:50
I yeah, he's he's, he's must be sitting on the computer.
32:55
His name? Yeah, yeah, but he was, he was
32:58
on his phone, like on the couch. I don't know what he was looking
33:03
at, but you know, yeah, look, I I hate to be the one that tattle
33:10
tales on people and, you know, rats people out.
33:12
Like, it's not usually my vibe, but.
33:14
No, no, I appreciate it. As you know, I just rolled high
33:17
enough. I'm the union Rep, so I'll have
33:21
to deal with that. Thank you.
33:22
I appreciate that. Yeah.
33:24
Solidarity, you know? Yeah, it's yeah, we can, we can
33:29
stay out here and you know. Just keep an eye on the door.
33:32
Yep. Yep.
33:33
It only opens with the computer in the staff room anyway, so.
33:37
I'll go in there and. And talk to him about it now.
33:42
We're gonna have a shift change soon.
33:44
So, and by shift change, I mean like the seven of us on this
33:47
floor just gonna shift around. But I know that like two of the
33:52
guys are like doing this girl. So they got the poopy times man
33:57
taking going to the bathroom at this pressure level.
34:00
Can't take some time that was not brief.
34:03
You'd think it'd be like super fast, you know, 'cause it's the
34:06
pressure is just kind of pushing it out of you.
34:08
Not really. No, it's pushing it in you.
34:12
It's. Really hard to fart.
34:16
I can imagine, Jeez. My son thinks it's really funny.
34:21
Oh, you got a son too? Yeah.
34:24
You know, me and the wife. We're we've been working on it.
34:26
Oh, go homeless. But it's OK.
34:29
I got the secure job where nothing really happens.
34:31
Yeah, the whole thing doesn't explore anyway.
34:34
Union stuff. I'm going to go talk to that guy
34:36
about slacking off. You should be sitting on the
34:37
computer. What if we need to open the
34:39
door? Plus, like, Kenneth is inside
34:42
there just guarding the fucking elevator on his own.
34:45
All right, I'll. I'll be back.
34:46
Do you do you need anything from the staff room?
34:48
No, but actually, you know if you could check the doors, I
34:51
know that was on, it was on our short list of things to do just
34:54
to make sure that everything is working.
34:57
So if you could actually check. No, no, we are guards.
35:00
No, no, we're guards. We're guards.
35:02
It says right there underneath it says.
35:04
In. Guard.
35:06
Yeah, we just, we're just saying that, you know, we're supposed
35:09
to check to make sure there's no intruders on this level, not
35:12
just this room, you understand? So we do need to just get right
35:16
in. There and have the tenant.
35:18
We did check the bathroom. We checked.
35:20
That's why we that's how we went in.
35:22
We saw him do his whatever he was doing on his getting in
35:26
there. Well, I'll, I'll go and check on
35:28
on him. So you need to check on Kenneth
35:31
as well. We do need to check in on
35:32
Kenneth. It's exactly.
35:33
All right. Role persuasion.
35:35
Now this. This I'm good at. 16.
35:40
OK, I'll open it up, but I I gotta, I gotta close it when you
35:43
go through. Oh, understood.
35:45
I mean, don't let us get in. So I'll.
35:47
Only I'll only have it open for about 5 minutes while I deal
35:49
with a dickhead. I'll be, I'll be.
35:52
I'll be back. You guys, you guys stay there.
35:55
And he walks through the hallway and into the side room.
35:58
All right, so you've now cleared the hallway of personnel.
36:01
Well, shit. I mean, we've cleared the room,
36:04
but we still can't get in this door because we need to get.
36:08
Get through the door. It looks like it's open.
36:12
Wait, wait at the others. No way.
36:14
I'm going in now. I'll distract him.
36:17
I'll distract. As you step into this room, it's
36:20
long and at the very end there is a completely different build
36:26
of structure. It looks like it was built after
36:28
everything in here, and it's been welded to the
36:31
superstructure of the building. And it says restricted access
36:35
elevator above it. There are a bunch of red lights
36:38
around to make it feel really exclusive.
36:40
And a computer next to the door and it says locked in big bold
36:44
letters above the elevator door. There is a guard in here.
36:49
Kenneth, Everything looking good in here?
36:52
Oh, sorry, I didn't mean to to startle you there.
36:56
I don't who who, who are. You.
36:59
Oh, I'm Tim. Replacement for Tim?
37:02
You wouldn't believe it. I mean, what a coinky dink, huh?
37:05
That. Is funny.
37:06
Yeah, I I they have me on Red door duty.
37:10
Yeah, well just we're just checking in.
37:12
Erica's actually just going down, going to check the the the
37:15
main staff room over there and the bathroom of course, but I
37:20
came in here to see how you're doing, see if you'll need
37:22
anything, and of course to check the the elevator.
37:27
Yes, actually I'm I'm here to to relieve you for just a moment.
37:30
This is not your whole break. This is just your 15 minute or.
37:34
No, no, no. We get 20 because of the
37:36
pressure. Oh see that's that's good to
37:39
know. I am union.
37:40
I'm. I'm from.
37:41
I'm from up top. Yeah.
37:42
No, no. So I know that on the surface we
37:44
get 15, but because of the pressure we get 20 because it
37:46
just takes longer to follow. Right to pull.
37:48
Yeah, that's what. That's what he was saying, too.
37:52
So, role persuasion. Sure.
37:56
You know, I mean I that's a great.
37:59
I just really, really need the toilet.
38:01
I'll tell you what I I can't. I I don't want to take my here.
38:06
No, I understand you've been backed up for a while.
38:08
And they they hand you a a a just a little bag.
38:13
In the bag is a. Oh God, what's in the bag?
38:17
There's a a harpoon charge in there and a packet of gizmo
38:20
snaps. Can you just?
38:21
Hold this I just I got. To go No, no, not a problem.
38:24
And with your crit persuasion, they leave the room and head to
38:28
the staff room. OK.
38:30
You, you take your time, you know.
38:32
Oh, God. Oh, wait, hold on.
38:36
All right. I, I, I run to the door, prop it
38:39
open a little bit. Hold on.
38:41
Kenneth. Kenneth.
38:43
God, you didn't tell me the code to the to the elevator.
38:45
We got to. We got to make sure.
38:46
They don't give us the code. We're just gods.
38:48
I got to go. Good God.
38:51
Goodness gracious me. I make my way to the other.
38:55
OK, the coast is clear. Jeb's handling the last of the
39:01
the guys in there, and then we should be good.
39:03
So just give it a second. Let me double check.
39:06
All right. All right, let's go.
39:09
Hi everyone. So where did we go, Vicki?
39:11
Up this way. OK to the left.
39:14
Yes, to the left, take. It back now you locked.
39:16
Come on, Iona, follow me. Following you.
39:20
And you all move into the side room.
39:22
It's OK. Everything's under.
39:23
Oh, oh, she's you guys. Hey Retro, you want to check
39:27
this thing out? And as you all step into the
39:30
room, the door locks. The door locked.
39:32
Guys, I can't open the door. Yeah, but can you?
39:35
Can you at least get into this terminal over here and get the
39:38
elevator working? Yeah, I'll let me give it a
39:42
little. My, my little more of my Magic
39:44
fingers. Retros you step over to this
39:47
restricted door, you can see this fairly beefy computer
39:51
attached to the side. This system is a lot more secure
39:56
than the other computers you found on this level, and it
39:58
gives you access to a very classified area it seems.
40:06
Oh, looks like I have to break a trigger out for this one. 32
40:14
Yes, I do the I do the old credit card trick where?
40:20
Jeff, come here for a second. Yeah, the just come here.
40:24
I'm going to take one of my credit cards.
40:26
I keep inside my wallet. I'm going to take it and I'm
40:29
going to rub it underneath your armpit several times.
40:33
Oh. Oh my God.
40:34
Oh, just just quick enough that you start to feel a little bit
40:37
of a friction burn. Oh, absolutely.
40:38
Yeah, You get. Tickled.
40:40
Now it burns and then I'm going to use that and I'm going to rub
40:43
it really fast inside the cred this the the mag slot open that
40:48
that static electricity is going to work.
40:51
In the process of doing this, you also press a few keys in the
40:53
keypad as you're pressing these buttons above.
40:56
The elevator. A little iris opens and it
40:59
scans. Everyone in the room stops on
41:01
Iona passes from bottom to top and then the screen says.
41:05
Biometric. Scan approved.
41:09
Well, that was a close one. It's a good thing we brought a
41:12
corporal with us, am I right? And the door to the elevator
41:16
Pistons open. Yeah.
41:18
I also think now that they know that Iona's been here.
41:21
Well, we'll. Probably have to destroy the
41:23
record. Let's not forget that somebody
41:25
write that down. Well, you're thinking that'll be
41:27
destroyed when we blow this thing to shit.
41:30
Come, come, Anna, Do you have your notebook on you?
41:33
I do. I'm writing it down.
41:35
Destroy the records. What are y'all waiting for
41:38
everybody in going down? Come on Iona, there's plenty of
41:42
space in here. You won't have to touch anyone.
41:43
It's a really wide elevator. You're a wide elevator.
41:49
It's just being nice. I'm just kidding.
41:53
You're, you're. You're the perfect elevator.
41:58
I go up, up and down. I'm an elevator.
42:02
Oh, I'm sure you do. Hey, I spend, I spend, I spend.
42:07
I spend 15 minutes with Reeves in the kitchen and suddenly I'm
42:10
some kind of whore. Well, you know what?
42:13
I think Iona's just jealous because you have had more fun
42:16
with Reeves than they have had with Doctor Sativ.
42:20
I I I am Privy to send private messages and I will say no more
42:23
comments. All sound spicy.
42:27
All right, we might as well press the buttons on this
42:29
elevator. And Iona, in a moment of social
42:34
discomfort, pushes the button and you descend down into the
42:40
Abbott lab. Time for a Gisner snap?
42:52
Next time on no latency and all the business snaps are gone.
43:00
I'm. Sure, they have plenty down
43:02
here. Have you ever been stuck in an
43:03
elevator before? This is my biggest fear.
43:06
Yeah. Why is this elevator not
43:07
working? Just kind of like stopped.
43:09
Is this it? Is this the moment where I've
43:11
feared my entire life? We won't know until one of us
43:14
dies. This is.
43:16
The. End see.
43:17
Oh. I would rather not do that.
43:19
Jeb, you can look. Alright.
43:21
You're on the literal shit list. Ohh, I'll shoot.
43:24
I'll shoot, I'll shoot about that.
43:25
Vendel Can you check the porta potty if there's a body in
43:27
there? Vivi, that's your department.
43:29
OK, I'm gonna just pull the chip out.
43:30
How much did you jiggle the handle?
43:32
One HP scrape VV oh. Maybe it's this is like a movie
43:38
theater, you know, I was asking if there's candidates here is.
43:41
Ready for our exam? Oh shit, we're back in school.
43:46
Anyone study for layers? No, I'm going to wait to take a
43:49
seat because I haven't been told to take one yet.
43:52
Is everyone ready to start their exam?
