Latest / No Latency / NL: SideQuest - JUNK WARS - Pt3 Junk Combat
Transcript
- 0:01Last time I had no latency side quest.
- 0:05Seems like one of the other teams broke your partner's leg.
- 0:07Don't we have eddies to buy stuff?
- 0:09You'd think that was purposeful. We have 2000 eddies.
- 0:12How do you feel about a rocket? Launcher Revenge.
- 0:15Yes, that would be very nice. I think we leave the booth, take
- 0:19the water. Oh, she loves her rocket
- 0:20launcher. Well, she wasn't kidding.
- 0:22That would be sick. I was just going to say maybe
- 0:24look for a steering wheel or some way to control, yeah.
- 0:27I'm going to have to tell you to back up.
- 0:29There are no rules, fools in the desert.
- 0:31Wait, was that a mini gun? Oh God taints.
- 0:32He's going to be so mad. OK, well, that's all right.
- 0:35You tried. You did your best.
- 0:36Arms are full of water bottles. There's an opening to the trash
- 0:39to West. Right behind you.
- 0:42An opening in the trash. Hooray.
- 0:44Still wake up really quietly and then jump on them that.
- 1:00Could work. Do you think they're waterproof?
- 1:03Can I recall from my really great role earlier when looking
- 1:08at the robot? Does it with my tech knowledge?
- 1:12Would these robots be waterproof water?
- 1:16Water resistant water. Resistant.
- 1:18Oh damn. It resistant, so you'd have to
- 1:21roll well, but. OK.
- 1:23Yeah, no, I don't think that's what the water's for.
- 1:26OK. In the distance you hear gunfire
- 1:30and cheering. It seems someone else has found
- 1:32a robot. OK.
- 1:33Well, oh, should we shoot him? Should we shoot him?
- 1:36Guys, we should just shoot him. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
- 1:38I'm not. I don't know.
- 1:39I don't think I'm very fast so. Do you want to shoot at first?
- 1:42What? If we shoot at the same time,
- 1:44there's two of them. That's cute.
- 1:45Maybe we should focus fire. OK, poke in it traded one of
- 1:51them. Twice.
- 1:52OK, unless you. Don't want to do that.
- 1:55We could do whatever you want. I don't.
- 1:56Well, I mean, I really, I really want both of them.
- 1:58I feel like if we shoot, the other one will go away.
- 2:00OK, that's fine. All right, I'll shoot one of
- 2:02them all. Right.
- 2:05Pull the trim, I'll shoot the other one and.
- 2:07We. You shooting at the same time?
- 2:09Yeah, yeah, is. That how far you are, you are.
- 2:14Well, let's see, I'm probably too far away from my shotgun,
- 2:18huh? You are 25 feet away.
- 2:21I rolled A14 on a handgun. Handgun has two shots, right?
- 2:27Two chances? I'll just do handgun.
- 2:29I don't think I'm close enough. All right.
- 2:31Are you going to step any closer?
- 2:33You can. You have stealth.
- 2:35I can say you could step at least one or two squares in.
- 2:38Yeah, I rolled stealth once. I didn't want to roll again and
- 2:43be worse. No, no, you're you're fine with
- 2:46that stealth. You can.
- 2:46Oh. OK then yeah, I'll take 222
- 2:50teensy steps forward. And Kylie, where do you go?
- 2:54I think I just stayed there. I shoot with my very heavy
- 2:58pistol and braided fire 1 and I rolled the 14.
- 3:04Rolled the 14 so you hit the closest one.
- 3:08Teensy. You rolled 18, you hit the other
- 3:11one. Sick.
- 3:12Nice. Damage.
- 3:15The robots squeal like an electronic pig and turn around
- 3:19and try to escape. They are now alert to you, but
- 3:24you do have them cornered. Roll me.
- 3:27Let's see how much damage they take as they turn around to your
- 3:29shots. So roll me what your damage is.
- 3:33Oh, crit damage. Oh teensy.
- 3:38Good because I rolled like dog shit.
- 3:41Teensy Your your little your Your target explodes a confetti
- 3:48style of metal and shrapnel. You cause 19 damage and the
- 3:53thing explodes on the ground, exposing a few items inside.
- 3:56You also hit though coyote. What was your damage?
- 3:599 damage. 9 damage. All right, the other robot is
- 4:03still up, still has a little bit of life, and it scurries towards
- 4:07you. And I try to jump on it.
- 4:09Yes you can. Athletics, I would assume.
- 4:13Yep. Oh, that's incredible.
- 4:18Killing it. Yeah, Oh yeah, I only rolled a
- 4:2213. So yes, you crit success land on
- 4:27top of the pot and as you land on it you kind of do a pile
- 4:29driver and it smashes into a bunch of pieces and worms.
- 4:32To death. Oh my gosh.
- 4:35What a ride. I think that was amazing.
- 4:39You were so good. Thank.
- 4:41You. I feel so cool.
- 4:43You are so cool. Dick, you're so cool.
- 4:45Do you want to go loot that guy? Maybe he's got stuff.
- 4:48Yeah, let's do it. Maybe he's going to loot the
- 4:50robots while they while Coyote loots the I'm going.
- 4:55To loot the man looking for water, All right.
- 4:57Roll me AD 6 for each of the robots.
- 5:01D6 Cool. Cool, so you you get 4 rolls in
- 5:07the pot table. Junk.
- 5:10Nice. OK, what does this mean?
- 5:14You find 3 items. Like click something.
- 5:17What am I doing? Yeah, and you're above your
- 5:20name. You've got a hand of cards now.
- 5:21Yes. OK, so that's the chassis.
- 5:26Wait, seriously? About 3 chassis now what?
- 5:313 chassis, 6 bottles of water. And a mini gun turret.
- 5:36OK. He's going to be so.
- 5:42Excited. Oh, man.
- 5:45OK, Coyote. So here's the thing.
- 5:47I guess we didn't need to spend our money on that chest because
- 5:50we got three more. Or two more.
- 5:54But we could sell back to the lady, that's what she said.
- 5:56Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. That's true.
- 5:59But then someone else could buy it.
- 6:00So maybe we want to just keep them, hoard them, hoard.
- 6:04The resources hoard all the Maybe we make multiple punk
- 6:08knots. That would be cool.
- 6:10Punk knot on Punk Knot action. How much time we got?
- 6:14Oh, get that? Guy stuff.
- 6:18Oh. Yeah, I, I, I loot the guy.
- 6:25Are you? This guy's sitting up and he's
- 6:26got a black eye and he's just woken up.
- 6:28Oh, my ear is ringing. It's like someone's shot
- 6:30something. Oh.
- 6:32Hey man, are you OK? Oh no, where's the chassis I
- 6:36found? Oh fuck, my boss is going to
- 6:38kill me. Bummer.
- 6:43Hey, man. Anyway.
- 6:46I'll pay you 400 eddies for a chassis.
- 6:49I mean how much is the lady going to buy it for later?
- 6:53150. 400 for sure. We can buy a lot of glow paint
- 7:00with that. Yeah, yeah, dude, sure.
- 7:04They're all the same, right? Yeah.
- 7:06They're all the same. One's blue one tree.
- 7:11Accidentally give them like the best one all.
- 7:15Right. Yeah.
- 7:16Thanks you. Oh.
- 7:18Shit, really. Seriously.
- 7:20That's like, you know, rising tide kind of shit.
- 7:26Nice chum. Puts his fist out to fist bump
- 7:29here. Yeah, chum, And I give him a
- 7:31salute. Oh, OK.
- 7:34I hit. I had to hit fist.
- 7:36I fist bump. Oh shit, yeah, chum, I like your
- 7:39hat. Yeah, chum, Thank you.
- 7:41And. He hands you 400 eddies and he
- 7:43takes the chassis and fucks up. Cool.
- 7:46All right, that was not so bad. That was actually a great time.
- 7:50You really crushed those little robots.
- 7:52You got a gift? Yeah, distraction.
- 7:57OK, let's finish. Show them what we got.
- 7:59You guys head back to the punk note.
- 8:01Meanwhile, what has Cherb and Declan been doing?
- 8:06So Decky DI, gotta be honest, you know, with this whole, you
- 8:11know, meeting you and kind of seeing what my life might become
- 8:15in the future, not I'm not saying that I think that you are
- 8:18me from the future, just that I I kind of see myself in you.
- 8:23Does that make sense? More than you know.
- 8:29And so I'm just wondering what made you, you know, what made
- 8:35you get out of the game, you know, stop racing, stop doing
- 8:39what what you do best. I never got out of the game all
- 8:44right. I was let the game.
- 8:45Got out of you. Oh, sorry.
- 8:46Go ahead. No.
- 8:47No, the game was not the I'm still I want to be in the game,
- 8:50all right. Just people bomb fired me.
- 8:55No. Bomb fired.
- 8:57Yeah. I had to do a nude stunt.
- 9:00You know, it was, it was I was, I was going to play him.
- 9:03He looked at me. He didn't think I looked
- 9:05youthful enough for him, which is bullshit if you ask me.
- 9:08Well, I've heard you got a lot of work done.
- 9:09Because he's an old guy now you know his his ass is not as
- 9:13succulent as it used to be, but. That's true.
- 9:15I've saw the, I saw the last, the last mission.
- 9:22Mission. Probable mission.
- 9:24Probable. Death dealers.
- 9:28Death dealers. I saw the last death dealers and
- 9:30yeah, I saw, I think I saw his ass in it.
- 9:33You're absolutely right. He must be using an ass double.
- 9:37He he is, he's using an ass double.
- 9:38He didn't want my ass to be the double anyway.
- 9:41He kicked my ass to the can, to the to the streets.
- 9:44So I listen, I'm trying to get back in the game, OK?
- 9:48That's why I'm here. And you think if we win this,
- 9:50you might be able to hop back on that metaphorical horse?
- 9:55That's right. So so we have to win my
- 9:58livelihood depends on I'm not, I don't got many shots left.
- 10:02All right. I think we can do that now.
- 10:04What do you, what do you think those guys are doing?
- 10:06And it you know, the, the camera pulls out and we are, we're
- 10:09laying down in the we're laying down in the like the junk
- 10:12looking, getting getting info on the other two teams.
- 10:17Yeah, sure. We should definitely go.
- 10:19So yeah, yeah, role perception. Let's move up.
- 10:22Let's move up this way. Roll perception to see what
- 10:25they're up to and see if you can work out what they've gathered.
- 10:28I like to think that we, you know, we're like prone.
- 10:29There's like just junk covered. Yeah.
- 10:32Crawling around. We're like literally like
- 10:34covered in junk with like little binoculars, which I do have.
- 10:38So instead of looking for junk, you guys are looking to see what
- 10:40your enemy is doing. Correct or even info.
- 10:43OK, all right, roll Stealth. But roll stealth.
- 10:50I'm really good at stealth. Declan, you put your entire hand
- 10:53in a pool of oil. It meant to do that.
- 10:59I like the way it stealth. You.
- 11:03You, they look at you, these two guys who are looting next to you
- 11:07and they hide what they're looting from you sort of shimmy
- 11:11this thing over to their area Unfortunately, it looks like
- 11:15Declan has blown your trash cover and your view of the
- 11:19zoners leads to nothing you. Put your hand in the in the oil.
- 11:23Yeah, fucking shit, Declan. Did you keep it down?
- 11:29Maybe we should just, you know, walk up to him and talk to him.
- 11:34I'd never considered that. Are you good talking?
- 11:38I'm, I'm, as you can tell, I'm not the greatest at putting, you
- 11:41know, like thoughts into. I I get it.
- 11:49I get you, Jeb. Just follow my lead.
- 11:51Hey, junk rats. Hey, Chew, I'd like to talk to
- 11:55the. I guess there's other two.
- 11:57I see There's two. Yeah, there's two.
- 11:59There's three teams. Total, right?
- 12:00Which one's the banana guys? I mean, assume it'll be really
- 12:03obvious. The the yellow team have the
- 12:05third one. Oh, I see they're.
- 12:07They're up top up here. OK, gotcha.
- 12:10And these guys, what's the, what's these guys names Zoners?
- 12:13Zoners. Which one of you zoners broke my
- 12:15friend's leg? Huh.
- 12:18No, June, that's not us. Oh, it was one of you.
- 12:23No, it was none of you. It's.
- 12:27Not even make sense. That didn't even make sense.
- 12:29I. Didn't get it.
- 12:30Yeah, I. Didn't huh?
- 12:31None. None of us?
- 12:32Is that so? Funny and great.
- 12:34The whole team, like, laughs with them.
- 12:36Yeah, yeah, boss. That's really funny.
- 12:40Which one of them is their the boss?
- 12:42The boss is wearing a red mask. You saw them talk to the junk
- 12:45master. Right, right, right, right,
- 12:46right, right, right here. I'm gonna, I'm gonna walk up to
- 12:48him and, and look him, look him straight in the face.
- 12:51You are taller than this person. They are short.
- 12:54OK, while I'm look talking to him, I do want to still try to
- 12:58check out how they're building there, like if they have like
- 13:01missile launchers or, you know, like a the, the the Gatling.
- 13:04Gun you're talking this to this person and then some kind of
- 13:09conversation skill to see if you distract them enough to give you
- 13:12a virus in the other order. Conversation first.
- 13:16Yes, yes. Listen, I know it was one of you
- 13:19or one of the banana pieces of junk who broke my buddy's leg.
- 13:24Norman, right. You're trying to get us out of
- 13:26the race. It's not going to happen.
- 13:28So just fess up now. We're going to beat it out of
- 13:31you. Yeah, even even though junk
- 13:34master said to to plain ass Nash is on a spectrum and and I and I
- 13:39give Declan. A little little shoulder like.
- 13:42Huh. See what I?
- 13:43Did there yeah, yeah, right. Yeah, no, I I get.
- 13:46It I got it. And so I think that it's
- 13:48perfectly acceptable to hurt you guys because you guys hurt my
- 13:52friend's friend. Conversation.
- 13:55Someone roll something. So I'm looking, I'm looking.
- 13:59I'm social. And like you mentioned, so I
- 14:01I'll roll something and then if I succeed then I get a + 1.
- 14:05I'm going. I'm rolling interrogation.
- 14:08Sick. Nice.
- 14:09Yeah. 17, Yes, 17 is a professional pass.
- 14:17Well done. OK.
- 14:19And there's not not another role didn't happen so.
- 14:23And you do you do get a -1 to that because Jeb rolled a crit
- 14:28fail on conversation. It's just making me look kind of
- 14:32dumb. And the the the the pit boss for
- 14:35this crew looks at you, Jeff. Hey chum, flies are undone.
- 14:41Oh shit, oh you, you got me to look down at my crotch.
- 14:46But but my fly was in fact not undone.
- 14:49Yeah, I know. Oh, your shoelaces are on tight
- 14:51too. Hey, chum, wait.
- 14:53A minute. I I I assume I believe them.
- 14:58You do believe them? It's true.
- 15:00OK. Is that OK?
- 15:02All right. Why is there can we get like an
- 15:05indication of like why we believe them?
- 15:08Oh. I assumed I believe him because
- 15:09I'm interrogating him well and I I've know enough about lying.
- 15:13Like, OK, I'm this guy's like, telling the truth.
- 15:16We're just here for a clean game, man.
- 15:19If you want to see one of the cards behind them, you have to
- 15:22roll Perception. Oh yeah, we should definitely do
- 15:25that. Yeah, I'll do that.
- 15:26I'm on it. Kyle, Excellent.
- 15:29Yeah, nice. Oh, let's go.
- 15:32Roll me AD 6 each. OK, yeah.
- 15:35So you notice that they've got a chassis and.
- 15:39Combat spikes? What?
- 15:41What what? I'm not sure which other kind
- 15:43here. Combat spikes.
- 15:44I think those are like caltrops. Oh no, they're not.
- 15:50They're not caltrops, Jeb. They were floating.
- 15:52That's a good point. It's all right.
- 15:57Try it buddy. You're doing your best.
- 16:00All right, all right, Zoom, if there's anything else, man.
- 16:04Not. On the field.
- 16:05Dude, I believe you. Good luck to you too, I.
- 16:07I shake his hand. He shakes your hand back.
- 16:09You have. By not being shitty to these
- 16:13people, you feel like you have built a a gentleman's agreement
- 16:17to not be shitty to each other. Yeah, I do.
- 16:19I actually do. I feel like these people were
- 16:20telling the truth when they said that they're looking for a clean
- 16:22race, so that's nice. Now we.
- 16:25Betray. Them just kidding.
- 16:29All right, Jim, let's go. We'll find the bastards who
- 16:31broke your friend's leg. Yeah, I don't think it's them.
- 16:35No, it's it's. Not, I'm thinking it must be the
- 16:37Banana Boys. That's right, it's the banana
- 16:39boys. You head off N towards the
- 16:41Banana Boys and we return to Teensy and Coyote as they saddle
- 16:46up to the Punk N with their spoils from their first salvage.
- 16:51You guys buy anything? Oh.
- 16:53Yeah, yeah, Teensy was crazy, Yes, OK.
- 17:00You're not going to believe. This.
- 17:04What did you find? Like a cake in the trash or
- 17:06something like that? I wouldn't believe that.
- 17:09No, no, no, no, no, no. First of all, I found two more
- 17:12chassis which oh gosh, maybe you shouldn't have bought.
- 17:15That we're. Well.
- 17:17That gives us. Rich 123 tore points.
- 17:22Yeah, no, but then I sold 1, so now we have 400 more eddies.
- 17:26And that leaves us with. 2 chassis. 2.
- 17:30Chassis. And a mini gun.
- 17:33You found a mini gun I. Found a mini gun.
- 17:37Oh and one more thing, go to him and I hand him the string.
- 17:42Can you use this for your instrument?
- 17:46Yes, I can. I think I can make that work.
- 17:49Dean C. Hey, awesome.
- 17:52I think it's pretty. Pretty punk rock to have a
- 17:54string from the junkyard. Oh yeah.
- 17:57That's so metal. That's so metal.
- 17:58Coyote it's. Like.
- 18:00You know, have you ever heard of like grunge metal or sludge
- 18:04metal? No, but they sound, I mean they
- 18:07sound pretty dirty. It's it's pretty dirty.
- 18:10It's pretty dirty. In a good way though, I'm sure.
- 18:13The best, the best. To retrofit this to the guitar,
- 18:15you're going to have to roll your maker skill.
- 18:17TT me oh. Sorry, you gotta make a still.
- 18:21Because it's not an actual guitar string, so it it requires
- 18:23someone with tools to attach it to this guitar.
- 18:26Heard heard Heard Heard Heard I. Usually have like a, a, a tack
- 18:31that puts this on. Do you think you could put it on
- 18:33for me? Yeah.
- 18:34Yeah, let me, OK, let me just see here.
- 18:38Where is that on? It's your rollability so yeah.
- 18:42But I probably just be +4 if I had to guess.
- 18:46I don't know. Yeah, you've got a maker skill,
- 18:49so application expertise you could choose to.
- 18:54Use. What skill you want to use with
- 18:56that so you can use basic tech. You can use the pull down to
- 18:58change it. Yeah, yeah.
- 19:00That's, that's OK. So it's fabrication expertise.
- 19:04That, yeah, because you're fabricating.
- 19:05Cool. Or you can, or if you like, you
- 19:07could do upgrade. I would let you do that because
- 19:09you're upgrading the guitar with this string.
- 19:11I do have more upgrade expertise so OK so I'll do basic tech
- 19:15upgrade. I'm making a new guitar.
- 19:22So. Not that Saul's too worried
- 19:26about this effect, but the guitar is now perfectly in tune
- 19:30and he gets plus one to his performance.
- 19:32Oh, there you go. Out tints it, it looks
- 19:37fantastic. It looks great.
- 19:40I'm pretty good at this stuff. And, and Saul's going to like
- 19:43open his arms wide, say like hug both of you in one first.
- 19:49Hug I. Better like Leap 'cause he's so
- 19:51much like a like a little spider monkey.

- 21:17Yay. You sound happy.
- 21:19Give me those chassis, I'll put them on top of the punk knot.
- 21:23There we go. And saw just lifts them up and
- 21:26places them on the now non hovering platform.
- 21:32Cool. If you want to do fabrication
- 21:34for these to attach them to the punk knot and then not be able
- 21:37to sell them anymore, you have to roll a skill for each one.
- 21:41You can use junk to make this easier.
- 21:44If you go and find it, it'll give you -1 per piece, but you
- 21:48can also use it as ammo for the junk gun.
- 21:51Wait, what about it being -1 per what?
- 21:53So the on each card it tells you how much in ADB it'll take to
- 21:58install onto your punk note. OK.
- 22:01And if you want to reduce that, you can either get someone to
- 22:04help you or use materials to make it easier.
- 22:06Oh, I see. I see.
- 22:07I see. OK.
- 22:08You still don't have armor, so that might be something you want
- 22:10to work towards. Yeah.
- 22:13And you said it was fabrication. What would it be?
- 22:16Is it land vehicle tech or is it?
- 22:18Land vehicle tech or if you want to argue, something else.
- 22:22No, I so like like put these on. Now someone can't like sneak in
- 22:26and steal them, right? They would have to like actually
- 22:31like work hard to get it off. Weld them off or yeah, you
- 22:36propane torch them off or unbolt them something, yeah.
- 22:40Chainsaw arm them off. That's cool.
- 22:47Let's see. I think that I'm going to, I'm
- 22:51going to put at least I'm going to put one of them on OK right
- 22:56now. Rolling a 14 you install one of
- 23:04the chassis onto the vehicle, it's a large part of the front
- 23:07of a like a a people carrier van and it gives you another hard
- 23:11point for a turret and I think that card also gives you plus
- 23:145HP for the vehicle. Nice, that's awesome.
- 23:18All right. I look at Coyote back into the
- 23:20junkyard. Oh yeah, let's go, let's go.
- 23:25You 2 have fun. I'm going to watch the Punk
- 23:27Knot. Thank you.
- 23:29And Declan and Jeb are siding up towards the banana gangs
- 23:35construction area. So for me it was, it was almost
- 23:39like like going fast and kind of barely hanging on to control
- 23:46over the vehicle. It, it, it gives me like this,
- 23:49this sense of like, weirdly, it's almost like being on the
- 23:54edge of losing control is that magic moment where I feel like I
- 23:59actually have control over my life, you know?
- 24:03I know, and the closer you get to losing control, the closer
- 24:06you need to get next time. It's a slippery slope.
- 24:09The more I feel alive. Anyway, what are these banana
- 24:11guys doing? OK, so do they have banana like
- 24:16leather jackets with bananas on the back or something?
- 24:19Yes. Wow, wow.
- 24:23OK, there's five of them. All right, Jeb, here's the plan.
- 24:26All right, we're going to wait until one of them takes off to
- 24:29go scavenge, and we're going to go interrogate his ass, figure
- 24:32out which one of these bastards broke Norman's leg.
- 24:37Again, while they're alone. That's good.
- 24:39That's good. One of them heads towards the
- 24:41northwest corner of the junkyard.
- 24:44There goes 1 now, and unless you all incredibly well, he
- 24:49disappears behind one of the piles.
- 24:50Oh. Perception.
- 24:54Perception. Yes, yeah, right.
- 24:56We're talking high. It's.
- 24:58Pretty good. Declan, you rolled an 18.
- 25:05Jeb, you rolled a 22. You see the guy disappear
- 25:09underneath a few planks of Pollywood.
- 25:13What's he what's he looking for under that Pollywood?
- 25:15Is he hiding? Could be under.
- 25:17There, but then once he goes underneath there he disappears.
- 25:20I go, I lift up the the the board.
- 25:24Jeb goes over, lifts up the board.
- 25:26As you head towards the opening in the northwest corner, you
- 25:29actually see that it's fairly large in here.
- 25:32There's a there's a decent amount of space in this corner
- 25:37and you step on inside Roll perception Declan.
- 25:43I'm slow. Jeb, you rolled a 22 on
- 25:51perception and Declan, you roll a, you rolled A20 on perception.
- 25:55You both rolled extremely high on perception.
- 25:57And there's a few things you notice.
- 25:58One that there is a robot underneath this little housing
- 26:04in the back. You see it sort of scrambling
- 26:08around some trash. But that's the other thing that
- 26:14you notice about this area is that there are a bunch of people
- 26:17hiding in the trash. Oh, hey guys.
- 26:22And and you haven't alerted them because your perception is so
- 26:25high. They look like they're going to
- 26:29are they Do they look like they're hiding or are they going
- 26:31to like they searching for stuff?
- 26:33They can see they're like holding guns.
- 26:35One of them's going to jump, melee weapon behind his back
- 26:38like he's like ready to swing and.
- 26:40They're just waiting there. Let's not go in there.
- 26:43Come on back. Why wait?
- 26:44Why? That's what we're looking for,
- 26:44no? No, they're going to jump us.
- 26:46They're going to jump us. Get out of there.
- 26:50Oh oh. Listen, listen, here's what
- 26:53we're going to do. Here's what we're going to do.
- 26:56I'm going to. I'm going to.
- 26:59I would like to wait until one of the.
- 27:02Oh my God, what were they called?
- 27:03The pink guys? No, the pink guys the.
- 27:06Pink. Guys, yeah, the other team.
- 27:08They're called the Zonas. The what?
- 27:10Zoners. Zoners.
- 27:12Yeah, all. Right, let's get one of them
- 27:13zoners in there. We'll wait until the zoner comes
- 27:15up and then be. And then I'm going to yell and
- 27:16say, yeah, look at all that good loot in there.
- 27:21So much good loot. You know, I, I also got one of
- 27:24these, got one of these grenades.
- 27:27Now we can take a zoner out, you know, killing two birds with one
- 27:31stone sort of a thing. Well, I just thought that, you
- 27:33know, after our interaction with them just a few moments ago, I
- 27:37kind of felt like a we got kind of a gentleman's agreement that
- 27:41we were going to we're. Not doing anything wrong, the
- 27:44banana bastards. They're the ones that are going
- 27:45to beat them up. Oh, Spectrum, Got it, Got it.
- 27:49Right spectrum. And we hide against the.
- 27:53You know one of the zoners passes by the junk pile to head
- 27:57towards the South. Yeah, so I'm going to say loudly
- 28:01and and not so sneakily. Yeah, roll acting.
- 28:04Look at all that beautiful loop under them planks of wood.
- 28:08Roll acting. OK, OK, coming.
- 28:11Are we calling for acting roles? I think it's so funny.
- 28:17And acts. The acting role is my favorite.
- 28:20Dainty Wan. Cool.
- 28:25Hey Tune, we're friends. Right, that's what the boss
- 28:27said. So.
- 28:29You want to share these? Yeah, sure.
- 28:33The first come, first serve, and it's a free desert all right.
- 28:37Jump. In and there's three dudes jump
- 28:40on this guy. Oh.
- 28:42My, Oh my God do. You want to save this guy now
- 28:45like? I was thinking Dick, but we
- 28:46could. Kind of And they stopped beating
- 28:48and then whipping shit out of this guy.
- 28:49We're. Going to fight these guys, yeah,
- 28:52yeah, we're going to jump them after they're jumping him.
- 28:55Guns drawn. Yeah.
- 28:57Moving in. Jeb and Declan, you are in a
- 29:01combat underneath some Poly planks in this junkyard.
- 29:05Three of these on. They're not wearing any
- 29:09accoutrement from any of the gangs, they're just beating the
- 29:11living craft out of a zoner guy. The wrecker on the ground.
- 29:19This guy from the Zoners tries to get out.
- 29:25So we saw a a banana gang guy go in here is he's not one of these
- 29:29three guys. No, he's missing.
- 29:31He's missing, OK. The zona manages to roll away
- 29:34and he pulls out his gun and no he he kicks one of them missing
- 29:39and I think probably hitting fighting invasion Oh at first.
- 29:46Damn. Damn, OK, in an expert move and
- 29:50a backflip, this guy avoids both hits as the zoner skids across
- 29:55the ground and leans up against some trash in the opening of
- 29:58this area. Declan.
- 30:00Oh, all right. OK.
- 30:02What kind of weapon melee weapons do I got here?
- 30:06Hey, leave him alone. But that's our acquaintance, and
- 30:10we have a gentleman's agreement with them.
- 30:15Yeah, yeah, mind yourself. And then I'm going to smash one
- 30:19of them. I'm going to grab a pipe.
- 30:21Just. I don't even need a pickup
- 30:22weapon. There's a pipe laying around.
- 30:24Trash. I'm going to grab a pipe and I'm
- 30:25going to smash this guy who's close on the left over here.
- 30:29Step forward. I'm.
- 30:30Going to. Punch him in the head.
- 30:35Are you doing an aim shot? Because that's -8.
- 30:37Well, what's? Oh, does that mean?
- 30:38Like if I'm trying to hit him in a certain spot, yes.
- 30:41No, no, I'll just swing at. I'll just swing at him wildly.
- 30:43OK, swinging at him wildly hitting the body roll melee

- 31:20Nice. Yeah.

- 31:27He is knocked out. Oh, OK, yeah, all right.
- 31:29But can can I go again or do I attack again?

- 32:30You meet his health and he is bloodied on the floor,
- 32:34unconscious. It would take someone to help
- 32:37him for him to continue living, but he'll be dead in about 10
- 32:39minutes. I turn to the other two guys.
- 32:41Who's next? Do you want to try and
- 32:43intimidate them to run away? Yeah.
- 32:45Oh yeah, definitely. Roll for it.
- 32:49Is this persuasion? Is intimidation 1.
- 32:52You can do. You can do.
- 32:54You can. Roll personal grooming.

- 33:01Totally. Yeah, Yeah, yeah.
- 33:03You muster up all of your. 20. Fucking 6.
- 33:08You've watched, you've watched bomb crews do this.
- 33:10I've done this. I've said this.
- 33:13Line I've. Been in this exact position.
- 33:15But you guys put their hands up. We we don't want any trouble,
- 33:18man. We do.
- 33:19You want to try? Sorry, we just fucking and they
- 33:22walk past Jeb, we're going to like and they run away.
- 33:26And don't come back unless you have information about my friend
- 33:31Norman. Oh shit dude, I've saved my ass.
- 33:37No worries, I. You guys can have the robot man
- 33:40You, you guys are good. I get a hand, yeah, and pick him
- 33:43up. You.
- 33:43You help him up, and he stands up next to you.
- 33:46Jeb, you. You.
- 33:47This is your spot now, man. I'll look somewhere else.
- 33:51Hey, no problem. Gentlemen's agreement.
- 33:54Right. And there's a bot in the corner
- 33:55that's cornered. If you break it, you will get
- 33:58some stuff for the punk. It's all you, Jeb.
- 34:01I appreciate that. Hey, God's sake, I, I, I always
- 34:04thought that, you know, all that fighting stuff in the movies, I
- 34:08always thought it was choreographed.
- 34:09But man, you you seem to be doing just fine with the improv
- 34:13fighting. Well, you learn a thing or two
- 34:16for real if you do it long enough.
- 34:17Fair enough. And Jeb takes out his combat
- 34:20shovel and like. Bro, combat shovel.
- 34:24Yeah yeah, the bloody thing explodes.
- 34:27You gained A crit and you get because you're on a crit, you
- 34:31get the Max from the robot, which is 3 rolls.
- 34:35You get 2 cards. So you get a total of three
- 34:40items from this area. Oops.
- 34:43So I I click on the the cards. Yes.
- 34:47So you've got 2 items there. Do you see them?
- 34:50I do one says metal cage launcher.
- 34:56OK sick. This is the mechanism built into
- 35:00the back and as an action a passenger can launch a jagged
- 35:04metal bouncing cage of spikes using the heavy weapon skill and
- 35:08then it does that. Another one is junk.
- 35:18Well, won't need this. Throws the junk away.
- 35:22You going to throw the junk away?
- 35:23We can sell it. We can sell it.
- 35:26We can sell. It I.
- 35:27Think, but it's junk. This entire place is filled with
- 35:31literally junk. That's.
- 35:33True, that's a good point. Well, definitely going to keep a
- 35:36hold of this one though. You actually find 2 junk.
- 35:39And we won't need this one either.
- 35:41He throws it behind his head. But this metal cage launcher?
- 35:45I've got a feeling that Teensy is going to love this one.
- 35:48To me it all looks like junk. I would have said bring the junk
- 35:50back to the the ship and give it to Teensy.
- 35:52She might know what to do with it.
- 35:53But you know, I, you know, what am I?
- 35:55What am I? I don't know.
- 35:56I'm not going to carry it. I'm no junk expert either.
- 36:01Well, probably we should head back, although we didn't get any
- 36:05information. Yeah, well, you know, he got
- 36:07away. I bet we'll get our revenge
- 36:09later. Wait, hold on, I think I might
- 36:12have a tracking skill. Next time on no latency side
- 36:27quest. Oh, whoa, whoa, look, I got you
- 36:35a smaller one of these you. Ever heard of a tumbleweed?
- 36:37Is there anything she can't? Do Jeff ran after him?
- 36:41That's my team. Sure, he's gonna get justice.
- 36:43I'm awake. Ain't shot, get him in the
- 36:45kneecaps. Nice shot.
- 36:46Let's. Go.
- 36:47Where's that bird jab? I'm bringing out my gun.
- 36:49Yeah, you have revenge. I would also like to be on Team
- 36:52Revenge. Team revenge all.
- 36:53Right, we're going on team revenge.
- 36:55We can just take a bunch of the junk and like try to like plug
- 36:57the hole. I'm gonna kill him with you.
