0:02
Last time on no latency. Where's the real Clive?
0:06
Oh, Clive got them tied up in nuts, huh?
0:08
Right. 3 mimic rolls. There was a bad guy in there.
0:10
I'm sorry, I didn't. I didn't notice.
0:12
I wasn't looking for it. There's mimics in here Vendel.
0:16
That's bad. Oh God, they're reproducing.
0:18
Swift kick in the nuts, arenos. No, no, please do not I.
0:23
Wasn't planning on it. You can't kill Fintel in the in
0:26
Clive's shop please. OK, OK, we're almost done with
0:30
these bastards. Vendel your leg.
0:32
What we have to fix your leg? What?
0:34
Happened. Yeah.
0:35
Don't make me yank your chain again.
0:37
You wouldn't happen to have a jet pack?
0:38
Oh, how long have you been tied up?
0:40
Oh God. If you're offering, I'll take
0:42
some tea. Chamomile tea.
0:43
Not the strongest, but it'll help for now.
0:47
I'm never more excited in my life.
0:48
Anything you want. All right there, Jeff.
1:04
Everyone else has got their ammo and stuff.
1:07
The The jetpack requires fuel. Yeah, I kind of just.
1:12
Like nudge packable. Good, good.
1:14
All right. Well, I'll just be straight with
1:19
you. Clive, listen, I really want
1:23
that jetpack. And you know, just between me
1:26
and you, it kind of feels like this, this last mission of ours
1:31
is going to be a big one. And you know, I I don't know if
1:34
all of us are going to make it out of here live.
1:36
So I figured I might as well spend every last Eddie I got.
1:40
So I'm just going to be real with you.
1:42
I got 5590 eddies in my account right now.
1:47
Right. Can you make this work?
1:51
I can make this work. A jet pack.
1:53
I'm it's a very expensive item. You know, it's sort of, it's
1:55
sort of the same price as the Tencent Jet by Hoverboard.
1:58
Somebody say it's 1000 Eddies because that's how much that
2:01
thing costs. OK, OK.
2:04
I like that, goes very cool for that overboard.
2:07
You know what? Lock it in.
2:08
Put it in the shopping cart. Check out Express.
2:11
Check out. And you said you needed was like
2:13
climbing gear or something? Well, if I got hold on, that's a
2:20
good idea. A rope.
2:22
That's great. We never, you know, we never
2:24
really thought about that, never brought a rope before.
2:26
But I like the idea. Throw in a rope, throw in some
2:31
some some some gas, some fuel for the thing.
2:34
True. And you did save.
2:36
My life. So I tell you what, I'll give
2:37
you the fuel for the jetpack for free, because that feels like a
2:40
nice gift. Oh, I appreciate that.
2:43
Thank you. You didn't notice me at first.
2:45
You had to roll perception. It was passive too.
2:47
I was lying on the bed. You didn't.
2:48
I looked to you straight in the eye and you went towards the
2:50
bathroom. I mean, it's so just fuel.
2:54
I mean, hey, I'll take it. So yeah, you've got enough.
2:58
You've got enough for two flights.
3:01
Great. We have to find other kind of
3:02
fuels, make it, you know, that kind of stuff.
3:04
Careful non standard fuel could cause explosions.
3:11
We've got some. Yeah.
3:12
I've got like, you know, climbing Pikes and like winches,
3:17
like a full like climbing kit comes in a suitcase, break it
3:20
back. Doesn't go back in the suitcase
3:23
though. It's one of those.
3:25
I see it's real hard to get back in there.
3:26
Well, don't worry. I think that, you know, like I
3:29
said, rope, jetpack, fuel. You know what, throw in a few
3:36
grenades for me. Let's do let's do two incendiary
3:42
grenades and just a basic. Right.
3:47
So that's 200 for the incendiary and then the the basic ones are
3:51
100. And do you want just one of the,
3:54
you said it was a big gig. So yeah, just the one regular
3:59
grenade. No.
4:01
All right, let's make it 3. Right, So that's 300.
4:07
Do you need any ammo? I've got armor piercing, I've
4:09
got incendiary, I've got all sorts.
4:11
You know, I'm, I'm feeling pretty good.
4:13
I actually, I'm looking at my bag here and I actually have 12
4:17
incendiary bullets so. That was a good.
4:21
I don't really remember when I picked those up, but that's
4:24
nice. I like the packaging the the
4:28
flame really sells it. Yeah.
4:30
And look, if you kind of like, you kind of like wiggle the the
4:33
box back and forth, it's kind of got like this fun little little
4:37
shimmer thing going on. Isn't that nice?
4:38
Waste of packaging. That's beautiful like that.
4:42
Great. All right, so that's 1 1/2
4:46
thousand LDS. All right, you take card right?
4:50
I. Mean it's the it's the dark
4:52
future. Of course we take card.
4:54
There is a fee. I'm kidding.
4:55
Right. Love to hear that.
4:59
All right, you lot. Well, if you don't perish, I'll
5:02
obviously have more stuff when you come back.
5:04
Jeb, don't kill yourself using a jet pack.
5:08
Oh, I wouldn't dream of it. And you will pile outside
5:18
towards the van your items in Clive's new branded bagware.
5:27
This little plastic totes that are made out of wheat plastic.
5:32
And as you're stepping outside, Retro has scrapped the remaining
5:37
mimics while everyone was shopping.
5:41
And Retro, I need you to roll 3D10. 3D10.
5:46
Yes please. I thought it was really funny
5:49
that Jade got a crit fail out of the way.
5:52
Yeah, testing my grenades, just making sure it worked.
5:57
Lady Luck, Lady luck. Lady Luck Monkey Monkey Monkey
6:00
Monkey Monkey Monkey, Monkey monkey.
6:02
You gained 13 scrap, one of them was completely destroyed, so you
6:09
didn't get very much from that one.
6:12
Yeah, it was probably the one I was yanking all over the place.
6:18
Outside of Clive's shop, seems pretty docile.
6:25
Seems like the building itself is fairly soundproof, which
6:30
means if things had gone bad in there, no one was coming to
6:33
help. Where you are heading now, crew?
6:43
Well, I got what I needed. I'm ready to do this thing.
6:47
Let's get in there. And pile into the van and drive
6:52
back to the bar. You get back to the bar.
7:03
Friends, did you get what you needed?
7:07
Oh yes, Oh yes. I turn around and show the
7:11
jetpack on my back. Is that a fucking jetpack job?
7:17
You bitch your ass. Yeah, I know.
7:26
Between your jetpack and my hoverboard, I think we're ready
7:31
to go. We're ruling the skies.
7:34
I already got a. While on the phone earlier.
7:36
Sorry retro, I did not mean to interrupt you.
7:39
That's enough, please keep going.
7:41
Mine was an offhand joke. Well, earlier on the phone you
7:46
requested more information. I have done a scheme of the
7:51
garden networks and discovered some information.
7:54
However compiling it together I have discovered a problem.
8:01
The file was on the table I. Opened.
8:04
Oh, I could pick up that file. I could pick up that file for
8:06
you. Domino pushes a few buttons and
8:10
a file appears right in the middle.
8:14
Click Oh. I found an entrance through an
8:18
abandoned sewer and with some rumours and speculation from
8:25
scavengers and reports from the aid effort after the explosion,
8:31
I have managed to put down in file form what may be in front
8:37
of us. All right.
8:38
So are we, are we like formulating the plan or we just
8:41
kind of going into it like normal or or what?
8:44
Formulating a plan, Joe, this is going to be very dangerous.
8:47
Rat love that. Yep, I'm here for it.
8:50
So I suppose that we are coming into the sewer entrance then
8:56
Incognito. I don't want to do that very,
9:00
very badly. I don't want to do that.
9:08
We're going to be in hazmat suits.
9:12
Indeed. Yeah.
9:14
Never mind, we'll be fine. So we're pretending to be hazmat
9:20
people? What kind of people wear hazmat
9:22
suits? We are a cleaning unit that has
9:27
come in to scrub said area for radiation and any other terrible
9:35
particle. Whatever stuff that people get
9:38
freaked out by, so higher ups can come in.
9:44
And so that's why we're there, to make it look good before the
9:47
higher ups get there. I mean, sure are.
9:52
We are we going to run into people?
9:55
We may find scavengers. I mean, we're going to run into
9:57
some sewer people. Yeah, sewer, sewer people.
10:02
Well, wait, Jeff, what do you know about sewer people?
10:07
I just heard of them, you know. What?
10:09
What have you heard? I got to hear.
10:10
Will they be hostile? Well, I've heard that there are
10:14
people that live in the sewers and they're called sewer people
10:16
and they've got green skin and they sometimes emulate the, the,
10:21
the, the behaviors of lizards, which also gives them the
10:25
nickname lizard to people. And they got fork tongues and
10:29
they are ruling. They're a ruling cabal.
10:32
Oh yeah, have. You ever seen these sue people
10:37
in person? Well, no, but I also haven't
10:39
seen the president, but I imagine that they exist.
10:47
Your justification is bleak, Jeb, but your mother is sound.
10:50
Sadly sound. Yeah.
10:54
As you can see, even though I compiled some data, some of it
10:57
is incomplete. I mean it is possible they're
11:02
also running the some shuts down there.
11:05
So technically, that might become Chad.
11:12
And will they be hostile? I mean, if we're wearing these
11:14
suits and like doing our thing, will they?
11:17
They won't. Will they leave us be?
11:19
Scavengers have a very easy motivator.
11:24
Stuff. Exactly.
11:28
OK, well we're not stuff, so maybe we'll be safe.
11:35
We won't be able to carry everything I'm sharing.
11:38
Here's carry we give them some goodies and send them on their
11:41
way. That's good, that's good.
11:43
I like it. Can I do a library search?
11:47
You can. I want to I want to do a library
11:50
search to see if there is any recent stories or such about
11:56
said scavengers or lizard people or chuds and see what they're
12:04
trading down there so maybe we can bring something.
12:08
Library search. Go on.
12:11
Now do your thing. Do the library search.
12:13
Library Search 12 Night City Scavengers Scavengers collect
12:18
oddities, pieces of history, complex electronics, and other
12:23
historically significant collectibles.
12:26
Well, now I'm nervous about my head.
12:31
I've I, I, I'm sure you've never gotten any complaints.
12:37
If they want complex electronics and they see somebody walk up
12:44
with a head of complex electronics, I'm going to be
12:50
like a Costco dog to them. Costco dogs are before my time,
12:55
sadly. I'm trying to translate this
13:00
binary. I I have the first part
13:05
something about the black wall library.
13:07
Sure, I got black wall library is what I got.
13:13
That's the other one I. Mean I don't have my phone but
13:21
could you not scan the QR code? Oh, I did not.
13:25
So what do you see? Iona, what are you looking at?
13:30
I was looking at the binary I was trying to figure out what
13:33
this black black wall library is referring to since this is just
13:38
the the main lobby entrance of the Aristocca building.
13:42
But you you know what there is AQR code Does that just
13:45
translate it binary? No.
13:48
Oh hold on, let me pull out my tile.
13:53
That's that's so rude GM that that the QR code is is just
14:00
location information incomplete. Indeed.
14:04
That's rude and it just it literally took me to an AI
14:07
overview our AI overlords. That's cyberpunk as hell.
14:14
I'm always trying to help you at the same time.
14:18
Apparently there's an. There's an itching in my brain
14:22
that makes me feel like we've been there.
14:23
Before no retro. We've never been to this place.
14:28
We haven't had to deal with radiation before.
14:31
Oh oh right, I have to get to the other part of the binary
14:33
code I forgot. If you also sneak a trick inside
14:37
the barcode, I don't know what you're talking about.
14:42
You son of a. Bitch.
14:48
The barcode. The barcode.
14:49
You can use a barcode as a type of language to write something
14:53
out in 'cause there's still a. New one down there not not the
14:57
QR code. The UPC, yeah, the.
15:00
Yeah, which? Which?
15:00
Which? QR Code 0 'cause if you look,
15:04
motherfucker. Shitting fuck you shitting fuck
15:07
fucker. I'm not the same.
15:09
Question for you what? The.
15:11
Fuck does. What the fuck does Nair Runner
15:17
sin? Fer.
15:18
Ferny mean. I don't know.
15:21
Ferny. You're looking over the numbers
15:25
and data on this and a lot, a lot of it seems obfuscated,
15:30
incompatible ramshack. This is very cryptic.
15:34
Very cryptic I I can't make any sense of this.
15:38
If you'd like to see the image that they're looking at, it is
15:40
featured for free on our Patreon this week.
15:43
Well, Patreon. I'm you know what?
15:47
Here's the thing. Our listeners are going to
15:50
figure this out before we do is. So true, yeah.
15:53
Like we'll probably already be done with it by that point and
15:56
they're still going to be like idiots.
16:00
You should have done this. What do you mean you don't have
16:03
a barcode scanner? I've got a code scanner.
16:09
Is this going to work? No.
16:13
This visual light is really helping with this audio flipped
16:15
off. Radiation detected.
16:17
Yeah, like, OK, confirming radiation.
16:23
Yes, You're looking at the data and on this file there's a bunch
16:27
of other data that's corrupted itself into it.
16:30
There's some binary, there's some hexadecimal.
16:32
There are QR codes and bar codes for that.
16:34
You are scanning and discovering things, but ultimately it's
16:37
showing as coordinates. But ultimately it's displaying a
16:41
few areas distinctive. There's the sewer entrance from
16:45
a street in the mid part of Night City.
16:48
There's the abandoned sewer, a debris corridor leading to the
16:52
front of the old Arasaka building or what's left of it,
16:55
and then an area in there which is a little bit identified and
17:00
some of it unidentified. The data is simply missing.
17:04
And then at the very end of the lobby is an elevator shaft that
17:08
leads down. But that area, that data is
17:12
incomplete. It won't load.
17:17
OK. So we got no information on that
17:19
area. We're going to go in blind.
17:24
Well, not to like the first bits of it, no.
17:28
Just the just till we get to the elevator.
17:32
Domino, yes, being the one that compiled all this, obviously you
17:39
can see that part of this very well done document that you've
17:43
done isn't loading. Like what do you know what the
17:46
potential issue is? Is it Colonel?
17:48
Is it a stuck JPEG if you use a GIF by accident?
17:54
The amalgamation of data did not coalesce.
17:58
To get that information, we will need a net runner.
18:02
Oh boy, we're bringing someone else in on this.
18:06
Did we decide on which net runner we wanted to go with
18:11
fresh or the one that isn't annoys everybody.
18:21
I'm here. What's going?
18:26
On Hi, hi. Hi, hi Eddie.
18:31
The the the location data in in incomplete that's that's
18:35
problematic. You you busy tonight at 9:00.
18:54
3000 miles of open Rd. The Jeb and Retro Show.
18:58
Oh man, this is going to be tough.
19:00
Join Jeb Wakey. Wakey, sleepy Princess.
19:04
And retro. I did not agree to this, Jeb.
19:07
On the road trip of a lifetime. Oh yes, she did.
19:11
Van's got some shoes on the mix. No, it was the second car to the
19:15
left. As they take on Route 66.
19:19
The Jeb and. Retro Show brought to you by No.
19:23

19:46
You busy tonight at 9:00. I'm never busy.
19:51
You guys never interact with me. I'm.
19:52
I'm honestly desperate for human contact.
19:54
I'd like to exist. I would you don't exist unless
20:01
we interact with you a. Lot of people ignore me.
20:03
Domino doesn't really like me very much, no.
20:06
You won't be really annoying. High 5.
20:09
High 5 Domino. You know, have you thought about
20:13
do do robots can can robots gained the benefits of therapy?
20:19
In theory. I hope so.
20:23
OK, well, I just, you know, I know that. 9 Can you can you
20:34
help figure out this this broken link that doesn't seem to be
20:37
working? Oh yeah, accessing.
20:40
I'm going to do an access. Little cable pops out of nine.
20:44
Wow that's funny, I rolled A9. It's meant to be.
20:49
It's. Meant to be it's.
20:51
Perfect. He understands every nuance.
20:54
Damn it, now I have to give him props.
20:57
The file loads and you come up against an error, but because 9
21:03
rolled well, the error does not affect 9.
21:07
Although some of the information is displayed, it is not
21:09
coalesced. More codes fill the screen OK.
21:16
What? I I still don't understand
21:21
52414449415448 4F4 E what is happening here?
21:32
I mean, First off, how fucking egotistical for them to create
21:36
something of such like secretiveness, but still make it
21:41
in the symbol of their fucking company.
21:43
Like that's, that's pretty fucking bold 2.
21:50
And I honestly I don't mind. I don't care who answers this.
21:53
I just want to know are are those supposed to be like
21:57
there's several different colours here.
21:59
I can kind of understand for the the top one, but for the the new
22:03
one that you just figured out nine, are those like heating
22:07
maps? I don't really know much about
22:10
what's in the basement of Aristocca.
22:13
I'm not. I'm just a robot.
22:14
I'm also Biotechnica, so they wouldn't give me that
22:16
information. That would be against the rules.
22:20
Rules. Whose rules?
22:21
Whose rules? Corporate rules.
22:24
Like Biotechnica's corporate rules or Yeah, wow, Biotechnica
22:30
doesn't try to break into other corporations.
22:32
No, they no, they get net runners to do that.
22:34
They wouldn't do an AI doing that.
22:36
That would be problematic. What if I learned things?
22:41
What if you did learn things? I learned something.
22:44
I might be able to draw a hand. It could be dangerous.
22:46
Camera freeze. Yes.
22:47
Yeah, what? The fucker it's.
22:50
Been present for but. With my hands like that on my
22:54
face. It's so funny.
22:57
You guys suck. You didn't even tell me that.
23:00
Nah man, don't worry about it. I'm embarrassed.
23:04
What? Why?
23:06
Don't be embarrassed, I'm embarrassing all the time.
23:13
Mortalized in Discord you're. You're very funny. 9 I, I
23:23
actually, I think of everyone here, I think that I probably
23:27
enjoy your company the most. That's and that's because I
23:30
haven't spent, I, I haven't spent much time with you.
23:33
That's why. I don't live at the bar, unlike
23:39
a lot of these other people. Jeb talks in his sleep.
23:44
It's very entertaining. Taning tanning poo poo.
23:46
Poo, I would. Yes, there's especially about
23:48
Sloane. It's actually quite sweet.
23:50
Oh, Oh, well that does make sense I guess.
23:57
Sadly doesn't make dollars. Oh God.
24:02
OK, so he's the one, huh? What?
24:05
A dollar this. Is what you asked for.
24:08
Yep. This is.
24:09
What I rolled an 8 which is still enough. 9 does not get
24:12
damaged by trying to process this.
24:14
You watch the screen flash and 9 deletes A Trojan that had found
24:19
its way into the file. Oh.
24:24
Information for everyone. Oh, look at that.
24:29
See you. See, you took down precipitous.
24:32
Mainframe power source. Question mark.
24:37
Question mark, No data for that portion of the well, so I assume
24:45
that we need to turn off the power source before we get to
24:50
the node. Are we taking the node?
24:52
We must. How do we take them down?
24:54
Yeah, go ahead down that. Connection to the node, but not
24:57
completely turn off the power source, disabling the black wall
25:01
to put my city in danger. It will be a careful balance.
25:06
Septic Connection. OK.
25:12
So we don't totally turn it off. We could mess with the
25:17
mainframe, perhaps make it harder for the I suppose the AI
25:25
or whatever is down there waiting for us, make it harder
25:29
for them. Excellent or.
25:34
OK, from what we're seeing? Just creating some kind of
25:39
forward bases we explore. I mean, I'd, I'd say let's take
25:43
the security. The lobby security room, yeah,
25:48
that sounds. There's probably a gate there
25:51
which we could bear and get. Behind multiple points of
25:53
egress. As well as as well as
25:57
connections to the medical nearby as well.
26:00
Yeah. I'd be interested to check that
26:02
out. Now, I know we're still coming
26:06
up with a plan, but there's still a few things that are
26:07
bothering me. What is that?
26:10
Well, you've got your mainframe, I would say pretty semi close to
26:17
a power source do things that would that don't go well close
26:23
together. So I'm interested to see what
26:27
that's going to end up being because, you know, power.
26:29
Is frightened by lots and lots of bedrock.
26:31
It seems, yeah, but heat travels I suppose, and Manframes wants.
26:37
To say that the power source is never mind that's, that's a,
26:43
that's a spoon question, not a not a joke.
26:46
OK, it's OK. I I look this goes back to the
26:49
law of thermodynamics when we were talking about before right
26:52
in which we had talked about before on how jet packs were
26:57
thinking about if using of cold fusion.
27:01
Does cold fusion exist in this world?
27:07
You'd have to look it up. Have you not done your history
27:10
of lessons, Jim? What did I say?
27:14
This is why I wasn't going to buy you.
27:16
I wasn't going to buy you your jetpack.
27:18
Knocked over your drink? Oh, look at that.
27:21
See, now you got, now you got. Whisk all over the floor.
27:26
Here's the main thing that I feel like nobody's talked about
27:28
yet. What's the blast door for?
27:33
And what's like no arrow leading out from the blast door?
27:37
Well, that's his black wall node one.
27:39
Well, we know, we know what the the black wall node is.
27:42
It's, it's the it's where they connect to the black wall.
27:46
We, we, we it's. Just like a room with Ausb port
27:49
OR. Pretty much.
27:52
OK, what we mainly discovered is that the syndicate have set
27:55
their base very close to a black wall node.
28:00
Can we dumb it down the Gaunt terms?
28:05
They're standing at the gate to chaos.
28:09
As poetic and as a donk, I kind of understood it.
28:18
Phoebe, you look troubled. Yeah, I too am wondering what
28:26
the blast door is for. Like, why is that?
28:29
Why is that? All nodes are under heavy
28:33
security. It's not something we want to
28:39
layman to God have access to. I see.
28:43
But it's a blast door. You know what comes in my mind
28:49
when I hear Blast Door? Is it?
28:52
Is it blasts? A danger?
28:58
Are you thinking like like a like a British man going blast?
29:03
That was a terrible British accent.
29:05
Let me try that again. All blast.
29:08
Perfect. That's slightly better.
29:10
Oh, blast. Yes.
29:13
A wide AI believe Yeah no. No, my my mind goes to the to
29:23
the thing that primarily set this whole, you know, tower fall
29:31
in motion nuke. You don't have a blast or unless
29:36
you want to try to keep out something that's made to
29:39
protect, to protect people against one of the most deadly
29:44
and dangerous weapons of all time.
29:47
Or to protect the black wall from exactly that.
29:52
So to. Stop the danger from getting
29:56
out. Perhaps it's to stop the danger
29:58
from getting in. So we don't want to open it at
30:01
all. I'm fairly certain we're going
30:05
to have to get to the Black Wall.
30:07
You're telling me that I I have to open up this this potential
30:13
errors version of Pandora's box? You've been close to a black
30:19
wall node before Retro. Yeah, it didn't end very well.
30:25
Yes, we did lose someone. Sadly, but we're stronger,
30:30
better, faster. I wish.
30:39
And harder. That's the other word I was
30:41
looking for. I was also trying to roll
30:45
through the words to try and find what would fit with that
30:50
list. Yes, move those rather daft
30:53
parks. Oh God.
31:01
Since we're since we've gone around the world again.
31:03
You set it up perfectly. Comedy.
31:07
I'm getting used to it. Is that what we call Charming
31:11
BB? Yes, actually, very much so, BB.
31:18
Smiles along with the. File is a little bit of text, I
31:22
don't know if you've read it. It's underneath the thing.
31:26
Then it says the data is now fully loaded.
31:28
The deeper parts of the ruins ruin facility are displayed.
31:32
File displays no data on the third installation location.
31:35
Location was under construction at time of retrieval and
31:38
disaster. It is unknown what resides in
31:40
this section at this time. File displays all known areas,
31:44
but some data is missing or explaining.
31:46
More exploration will be required to complete the data.
31:49
The no data and the third installation meaning the like
31:52
third purple, purple leaf of the Clover of the Arisaka Clover.
31:58
Yes, OK. Noted.
32:03
I mean let's, I mean if we're going to compile all of our
32:07
missions together, what usually is in the no data, I don't know
32:12
what's behind that door kind. Of danger.
32:16
So we're going to. Fight.
32:20
Skip, we're going to leave it alone.
32:25
If we don't need to go in there, sure.
32:30
I mean, listen, we, we got a mission to do and that is
32:34
obviously very clearly the, the, the goal of this mission is to.
32:42
You got it. You got it, Jeb.
32:43
Go ahead. Oh.
32:45
Destroy OK. OK.
32:48
OK, the Arisaka. No, the I I don't.
32:59
I forgot already. I'm sorry.
33:01
You guys. What are we doing, Jeff?
33:03
Jeff, what's the name of the of the of the bad AI group?
33:07
The Black Wall. Wrong.
33:10
Try again. Begins with S.
33:12
The cyber No. Cindy.
33:26
Cindy the Cindy's. No, no.
33:30
Add another Add another syllable to the word Jeb.
33:32
Cindy. Rhymes kind of rhymes with cake.
33:36
Cindy Cake. Oh my God.
33:45
The Cindy. Jeb, Jeb, you remember the red
33:46
eyes? Yeah, no, the one, Yeah, they
33:49
had a they, they, they took over.
33:52
They made them, made themselves look like one of my my friends
33:55
and sold me a jet pack, right? Right, right.
33:57
And what do we call the people with the red eyes, Jeb?
34:00
Bad robots. No jet Jack.
34:04
We call them the Syndicate. See.
34:09
Yeah, no, it's good robots. The syndicate.
34:13
Yeah. And oh, that's right.
34:15
And then the syndicate, we've been trailing, we've been
34:17
tracking them down. We and we had, we had a big
34:20
triangle that we made. And in the middle of the
34:22
triangle was this place that we're going to go in through the
34:27
sewers and destroy the syndicates.
34:34
Who are the bad robots? That OK now I'm getting it.
34:39
We want to just go for the bad robot Jay.
34:42
Oh, I am so on board. Those guys have been a nuisance.
34:45
I'll tell you the. Only thing I think will be as
34:50
dangerous as our combat will be our exit.
34:54
Going back through the facility is less than optimal.
34:59
I suggest overloading the elevator.
35:04
I'm pulling a Willy Wonka, I mean.
35:09
We would need. A parachute for the ever lasting
35:11
job suffers. No shooting the elevator up into
35:14
the sky. Yep.
35:16
Oh yeah. Nice.
35:18
We jump on the hoverboard and the jetpack and fly out of
35:20
there. That's the case.
35:24
We may have to retrofit your new jetpack onto.
35:30
Yeah. And I think I know just the
35:32
retro for that. Can you fit it retro?
35:37
What? Can you fit it up for us Retro
35:41
retrofit? Well, no.
35:43
Got two person hoverboard. What about your guy?
35:48
What guy? My guy.
35:51
You just said you had somebody to retrofit this up.
35:56
Yeah. See, even Domino understood that
35:59
joke. That's.
36:00
Absolutely. It's like if he understands the
36:05
nuance of that joke. Come on, retro.
36:08
Sorry, I, I, I'm sorry, I just hear retro so much as my name.
36:13
I just didn't think about it outside of that.
36:17
Remy. Yeah.
36:20
Do you think you could take this hoverboard and maybe make it so
36:24
that two people can fit on it rather than one?
36:29
I mean, I guess I could make some kind of the hoverboard
36:33
sidecar or I don't know. I'll have to do some research.
36:38
Like I know they got those, those double bikes where two
36:41
people can be on a bike at the same time.
36:44
So if I don't figure out something.
36:45
Tandem hoverboard Can we just? Like make it long, like extend
36:50
it like a. Like a long board.
36:52
Yes. I mean, yeah, I'm pretty good at
36:55
making things long. Yeah, I can do that.
36:58
The only issue, well, I was thinking like two people jump on
37:01
the hoverboard. Jeb carries one person, but
37:03
there's five of us. So we couldn't really like fly
37:06
our way out of there. That might not be realistic.
37:09
Well. If you have the flying elevator
37:17
bed with Jeb's grapple gun and my grapple arm.
37:24
Wait, Domino, are you coming with us?
37:27
Yes. Oh.
37:29
Well, that's that. See, now I'm doing my math all
37:32
over again now. That's why I think that's all
37:35
getting to be elevator. Yes, the alligator kind.
37:38
Of safety, the mechanism will be.
37:40
The best? Exit.
37:42
I don't need to get everybody's weights in order to trigger this
37:44
out. 9 are you coming with Well, should we bring 9 with us
37:48
because in case we can. Bring nothing because I could
37:51
fly. I could just.
37:53
OK, you're. Coming, push the elevator.
37:56
You're coming with us on this job.
37:59
Friendship. Yes. 9 gets uncomfortably close
38:04
to you in blinks. Hi.
38:09
Can you fit into this hazmat suit?
38:12
I don't need a hazmat suit, I'm a robot.
38:14
You can put it on me though, it'd be really funny.
38:18
If we if we, if we put like you inside of the headpiece of the
38:23
hazmat suit and you just float along, it'll look like we have
38:26
another person with us. I.
38:28
Don't pretend to be peaceful. Oh.
38:31
Great. It's like like the.
38:32
Opposite. Of why?
38:34
Why? Why is this just?
38:35
Like 9 The innovation, the jolly, the whimsy can.
38:41
We just put. Can we just put them in a
38:43
backpack and somebody carry them?
38:46
I don't need to be Castro. I'm not a Jeb.
38:52
Right, but I mean. Yeah, we can.
38:54
Hide you if we need to in the backpack.
38:57
Yeah, I'm pretty big. So I'm I'm, I'm slightly bigger
39:03
than a beach ball. One of these days, I'm going to
39:06
One of these days I'm going to catch you.
39:07
I'm going to fix that mute button of yours.
39:09
I. Don't know I'm a rainbow ball,
39:18
hey. God damn it, I'm going to try to
39:21
tackle 9. Oh, all right.
39:25
Roll, Roll. Brawling.
39:26
Wait, why are you tacking? No, I don't.
39:28
I don't really want. To.
39:30
Have I just want to have that. That's like I want to have the
39:33
scene of me chasing 9:00 throughout the.
39:35
You chase 9. I actually did just roll A10 and
39:37
you absolutely miss A9 floats higher up super machine.
39:41
Just Betty Hill the fuck out of it.
39:43
Just chasing after 9 jumping over tables, Tom and just Tom
39:49
and Jerry. Pure bullshit.
39:52
When looking at these plans, my retro stop retro leave him
39:57
alone. Oh shit, he got my giant mallet.
40:03
Retro that's invisible 9 has no hats.
40:07
How does he, like, I don't know, hack stuff?
40:11
With an. Extension table and how did he
40:13
do? That.
40:14
One time. I don't know what you're talking
40:17
about. I was not present.
40:18
I know, see, that's why I know he has hands and you don't.
40:23
I was not informed. He's a transformer.
40:29
I was hoping that the elevator idea would work so I pre bought
40:33
a parachute. Oh.
40:35
Thank you, I was going to say I I don't know how good my sewing
40:38
skills are anymore. We will still have to retrofit
40:41
it, so we may have to test them, but we have everything we need
40:44
to take them down. Shall we go on adventure?
40:52
I mean, I'm ready. I got my jet back.
40:53
I've been ready to go like this whole time.
40:56
Jeb's so much so excited, he's like holding it constantly
41:00
reading. He's it's the only manual that
41:02
you're actually excited to read. So if you put time into reading,
41:05
I would give you a + 1 to read it.
41:06
So here's The thing is that it came with a quick start guide
41:09
which is just a little pamphlet. On the back was a QR code to
41:12
download the full 700 page manual, which is just a bummer
41:17
because I would have read the whole thing by now if it was
41:19
physical. But these don't print manuals
41:21
anymore. You know, the casualty of the
41:23
21st century. Ticker tape. 700 pages from your
41:29
butt. Your little ticker tape.
41:33
God damn I'm going to need a coffee.
41:36
Apparently. So.
41:38
What do you do, everyone? Any lost plans?
41:40
Any lost things you need before you go?
41:42
This is your last chance before you delve into a cyberpunk
41:45
dungeon. Yeah.
41:49
So those rubber bullets that we have, I am going to overnight
41:56
take the poison that I got the Stonefish venom and coat the
41:59
rubber bullets with that along with absorbing agent as well.
42:05
So that way when they hit somebody, they will also
42:09
possibly poison said target. Great, make sure you write that
42:12
down otherwise. We will both forget.
42:14
Already did. I I think that we're ready.
42:19
Great. Well, hold on.
42:21
OK, I'm holding. I should probably, should
42:24
probably feed Sloane and give her a nice little scratch behind
42:28
that, behind, you know, back of the head.
42:30
She likes that. And who knows, you know, well,
42:34
wait to be down there for a while.
42:36
I have to imagine to see the size of that complex.
42:39
And I don't know if you've got this.
42:42
Funny one flies in and just lands on your head.
42:45
Oh, hey, hey, baby girl, how you doing?
42:49
Hey. Yeah.
42:50
Oh, that's Papa's good girl. Yeah.
42:52
How much? How much is jetpack fuel?
42:56
It's a great question I didn't ask. 600 eddies a bottle.
43:02
Crash stuff. I think I'm going to have to go
43:06
out and get another bottle because you know what, Jeb?
43:09
I just can't. I just don't trust you with your
43:13
jetpack. I can't.
43:14
I can't trust you with it. Why not I'm?
43:17
Going, I'm going to need you to go and take this time as other
43:21
people prepare to go and, you know, actually practice and test
43:26
that jetpack outside and fly around with it, you know?
43:29
OK, you know what? That's actually a pretty good
43:31
idea. And plus, if nothing else, it'll
43:34
allow me to take this puppy for a spin a little earlier.
43:37
All right. Yeah, I mean, God forbid you
43:40
don't know how to use it when we get down there.
43:43
Fair enough. So do you take the knight to
43:46
recuperate, heal and get ready for tomorrow?
43:48
Oh, we should. Vendel is very.
43:50
Good. I think that's a good idea.
43:54
You finish up with drinks, raise a glass to the fallen and to the
44:00
hope of success. Having a look over your plans
44:05
and over the evening you solidify your ideas, pack up
44:09
your things and make sure everything's in the van.
44:12
Make sure you repair all of your personal armor and your health.
44:16
In the morning you will come out to the front and Chair has
44:19
landed with his jet pack. Jed, roll me.
44:30
Air. Vehicle I guess.
44:31
Yeah. Man, that thing really takes
44:39
off. I, I mean, I, I tell you it is,
44:41
it's a lot more torque than I'd expect, but I suppose you're
44:44
supposed to keep a, a full 200 and some pounds up in the air
44:48
for a good amount of time, so. Oh.
44:52
The things you discover about the jet pack is that each tank
44:55
lets you fly for about 10 minutes, and it's loud.
45:02
Yep, sure was. What?
45:06
It was. It was loud.
45:09
Right. I got to remember to bring ear
45:11
protection. Yeah, I was, I was going to say,
45:14
do you have ear pro because loud noises for that for that
45:17
extended period of time, Jeb, you could lose your hearing.
45:22
What? No, I got to bring ear
45:24
protection next time, you know, if a sustained loud noise like
45:28
that could injure my, I mean, hearing losses forever, you
45:32
know? Unless you're like some kind of
45:35
horrible flash abomination. Huh.
45:39
Get in the car, Jeb. Hey, let's all get in the car
45:42
guys. Cool.
45:45
Hey, you know, with Jeb's thing like being regenerative and such
45:50
like that, Bebe, do you think if we just like stabbed him in the
45:55
ear, drop it, just fix it? It's you know, that's not a bad
46:03
thought. Hey, Jeb, come here.
46:07
Come here. Oh.
46:11
Right. You just took a second there,
46:12
but I found that if I just eat some jerky, my my, we'll call it
46:18
affliction actually just healed my eardrums.
46:21
I I can hear perfectly fine now. Oh.
46:25
Shit, what? Next time on no latency.
46:46
Oh man, look at the amount of vending machines.
46:49
Everybody got their hazmat suits.
46:50
So like I'm running around inside of an inflatable
46:52
dinosaur. I just added some darts in the
46:55
side. There's only machines all over
46:56
the city. Like we're not in the
46:57
radioactive zone yet, right? Let me carry the P bucket.
47:00
Oh, oh, it's a homonym. Geiger counter, I got my medical
47:03
bag, I got the boom box. I'm pretty full up everybody.
47:06
Vivi's bag is is a finite supply.
47:09
It's got blue glass and a glass grenade.
47:11
I love me blue glass. Smash.
47:13
Any of that is fine. Blue glass is like.
47:16
Heroine. Should we convince them to tell
47:17
us where it is? I'll back up.
47:19
Maybe it is bets that we put Vanna White somewhere safe.
47:23
Don't get up. I, I, I know that your your butt
47:26
is flat and it probably hurts. We'll, we'll just.
47:28
Yeah, Jeff's really good at knowing about how vents work.
47:31
Oh, that wasn't too difficult. Well, well, well, looks like
47:35
we've got our first is. It a trash robot does is does it
47:39
just eat trash? Why is my agent buzzing?
48:08
Hello. Who are you calling?
48:14
Retro's having a private conversation, could you could?
48:17
You do you guys. Do you guys know why I'm getting
48:21
a call from the the lawyers of JJ Abrams?
48:26
No, Why? Why would you want a call from
48:29
lawyers? Robot.
48:30
That's funny. That took me a second.
48:31
Oh my God. That's Oh my God.
48:34
That's the name of his production company.
48:40
Well, we said bad robots multiple.
48:43
Yes, yeah. And he's just got the one.
