• 0:02
  Last time on no latency. I am feeling a little hungover
• 0:08
  AM. I the.
• 0:09
  Tube. He woke up finally.
• 0:10
  Has anyone else ever woken up in a tube?
• 0:12
  You ever heard about this oil rig?
• 0:14
  Guard deployments, maybe some schematics, Floor plan if they
• 0:17
  got it, we're. Going to do what to their core?
• 0:19
  So how do we get a hold of 1 liner then?
• 0:21
  What did happen to that one liner jumped out the window on a
• 0:24
  Hellcat? They got a speeding ticket near
• 0:26
  my favorite bubble cafe. How do you access the core?
• 0:30
  Relax Vans. All vans are useful.
• 0:32
  Flair is in a coma. How did that happen?
• 0:34
  What? What do you mean?
• 0:35
  We're on our way, Satya. If they destroy the bubble cafe,
• 0:38
  my feel and error will begin all.
• 0:40
  Right, baby, you can have shotgun.
• 0:41
  That's cool. Shoot all hostiles.
• 0:43
  All right. I like that plan.
• 0:45
  Jeb Floret. Aye, aye.
• 0:47
  I'm not letting anybody take this bubble cafe.
• 1:00
  All right, Jeb. Oh, I've got the I've got a
• 1:02
  perfect idea. I'm going to do it like a like a
• 1:04
  tail whip, Like a drifting tail whip.
• 1:07
  Yes, do it. Here we go.
• 1:11
  Great. That's that's a.
• 1:12
  That's a crit fail. What?
• 1:15
  Oh, no. Oh.
• 1:16
  Oh no, no. That's a crit.
• 1:18
  Fail -9 my dude. And so, as you careen towards
• 1:23
  this white van in the street, you overshoe, go through another
• 1:28
  intersection, and the only reason that you don't get T band
• 1:31
  is because it didn't go below 0. You drive across the
• 1:33
  intersection, spin around, and you watch the vehicle disappear
• 1:37
  around the corner, around the back of the Bubble Cafe.
• 1:41
  You all flip around and drive back into the area.
• 1:47
  Outside. You missed the van.
• 1:49
  Well, that was anticlimactic. Why don't we just maybe just
• 1:54
  park? And why don't we just park and
• 1:57
  do? We should do it quickly.
• 1:59
  All right, I do. I do like a really slow, like
• 2:02
  like parallel park. If you don't have to beep, it's
• 2:08
  backing up. Stop the vehicle.
• 2:12
  What are you doing? Hold on, hold on, hold on.
• 2:13
  I just. I just this is taking too long.
• 2:16
  VV opens the door and rolls out. VV don't move out of it.
• 2:20
  Moving. People.
• 2:22
  Oh, it's slow. VV Rolling Plastics.
• 2:26
  Oh my God, what's with the dice tonight?
• 2:31
  VV As you jump out of the vehicle, you misstep, trip over
• 2:34
  and smack your head on the ground.
• 2:35
  You've got a little bruise on your forehead.
• 2:37
  Ow. HP oh.
• 2:39
  Shit, it's fine. That look cool?
• 2:43
  No, not at all. Not in the slightest, no.
• 2:46
  All right, if you just starts getting yourself back up
• 2:50
  ungraciously, let's go. I'll jump out of the van too.
• 2:55
  Same I gingerly step out one foot at a time Can.
• 2:59
  We just park on the street, no? No, no.
• 3:02
  I did a parallel park. Nasty, nasty dental over on the
• 3:05
  side there. Took a little bit longer than
• 3:07
  y'all wanted it to, but I think it looked nice.
• 3:11
  My me mod did better than you. It's not always about Satya
• 3:14
  needs our help. We should probably get in the
• 3:16
  Bubble Cafe. Right, right, right.
• 3:19
  And we do. Do you hear that?
• 3:21
  Behind the door, as you walk up to it, you can hear shouting,
• 3:24
  muffled by the door and glass. Oh, OK.
• 3:27
  I hear it now. Are you all right?
• 3:31
  I'm going to, I'm going to smack you on the back of the head,
• 3:33
  back of the monitor. And just like, what is it?
• 3:38
  Like reels from a a slot machine happen.
• 3:42
  Like, oh oh man, yeah, sorry my my head got all spun around from
• 3:46
  when Jeb tried to whip around. Well, Jeb's not very good at
• 3:52
  whipping. I did whip.
• 3:53
  I just missed. I got whiplash on that.
• 3:57
  Anyways, do we just go inside? Is this a breach and?
• 4:00
  Clear situation. Let's just go in.
• 4:02
  Breach and Clear don't hurt any of the the workers, the
• 4:06
  employees or the patrons. I'm supposed to tell them apart.
• 4:10
  Yeah, yeah, you you point them out.
• 4:12
  You point them out. Yes.
• 4:13
  Oh, you know who works here? Your your old pal, the Stoner
• 4:18
  guy. Jimmy.
• 4:20
  Reeves. Reeves oh.
• 4:24
  Oh yeah, Reeves. Yes, so another.
• 4:28
  Job Reeves. God, Jack of all trades.
• 4:32
  Yeah, Master of None. He was the I I think he's the
• 4:36
  only one I saw. There was another.
• 4:39
  An an Alice, Yes. And Alice runs the place.
• 4:44
  And so we should probably make sure that they're safe and shoot
• 4:51
  anybody else. Anybody.
• 4:53
  Else. So then we could shoot everybody
• 4:54
  else except for those two. But what about the people?
• 4:56
  But not so too. And so too, patrons.
• 4:59
  Yeah, which ones do we know? How do we know if they're
• 5:01
  patrons or not? I don't know.
• 5:02
  If they got bubble tea. Their site All right, I I can
• 5:06
  agree with that. If they aren't ordered by now,
• 5:08
  then that's on them like God sort them out.
• 5:11
  Yeah, I mean, it's a it's a awesome situation.
• 5:13
  I feel like if there was a mine, I don't know.
• 5:16
  All right, let's do this in. Bridge and Claire.
• 5:20
  Bridge and Claire. Bridge and Claire.
• 5:22
  You burst through the door, and inside the doorway is Walker,
• 5:27
  standing in the front foyer of the Bubble Cafe, pointing his
• 5:31
  gun. At Anna Alice, who's standing
• 5:34
  behind the counter to the left of you, is the customer seating
• 5:39
  area, and there are a bunch of customers scooching to the very
• 5:42
  back of the building, guarded by three guards.
• 5:45
  Oh, you know, probably a better way to figure out are.
• 5:48
  They. I know you know that.
• 5:51
  I don't. I don't know.
• 5:53
  There's a doctor and a a a guy with a cowboy hat and a corpo
• 5:59
  and a guy with ATV head. And.
• 6:01
  They all suck and I they've beat me a few times, but don't tell
• 6:05
  them that, just tell me where they are.
• 6:07
  I don't. I don't know who the fuck you're
• 6:09
  talking about. Do you have any fucking
• 6:11
  customers? I guess.
• 6:12
  This guy again, What is his name?
• 6:15
  Punchline. One liner I don't even.
• 6:18
  Remember. Yeah 'cause that's how they
• 6:19
  were. Funny.
• 6:20
  And he just never lands it. Fuck.
• 6:22
  They're behind me, aren't they? You.
• 6:24
  How dare you use the Bubble Cafe as a place to hold hostages, to
• 6:31
  try to find us? Let them go, yeah.
• 6:34
  You're kind of foot now, bud, Johnny.
• 6:36
  You you actually pissed off the one calm person in.
• 6:39
  The group then. Come on.
• 6:40
  What do you mean, they're just a nurse?
• 6:43
  Just a nurse. All right, buddy.
• 6:50
  Yeah, go ahead, you Mohwack. Have you ever seen, like, you
• 6:53
  know, like I'm an Angel? You don't want to see the devil
• 6:55
  side of me, dude, you just kind of press that button.
• 6:57
  Like you really are pressing the wrong ones here.
• 7:00
  Go ahead. Oh, anyone can be a nurse.
• 7:02
  Do you need a cold compressed? Oh VV, go ahead.
• 7:07
  My God, do I have any utility things in my bat?
• 7:10
  Actually, yeah, I basically I just want to disarm him.
• 7:14
  So yes, I will use my bat. As I press a button on it, it
• 7:21
  and there's a little slot that opens with a defibrillator that
• 7:26
  comes out. And do you even know how to use
• 7:28
  one of these? Anybody could be a nurse.
• 7:31
  Well, watch this and I just throw it.
• 7:37
  So you're throwing. A.
• 7:39
  Electrified bat at this guy. You're not just going.
• 7:42
  You're not. You're not hearing him.
• 7:44
  You're throwing your back at. Yes, the goal is to.
• 7:47
  If it's well, I don't want to. If I called shot at, I'm going
• 7:50
  to get a penalty, but I I want to hit his arm so that he can
• 7:56
  not have a gun aimed at. The proprietor of this
• 8:00
  establishment. So that's my goal.
• 8:01
  What? Luck do you have?
• 8:03
  I have six luck, so let's dump all six points so it cancels out
• 8:08
  the called shot. And I'm gonna throw this at him,
• 8:12
  at his arm with the gun. Do it.
• 8:17
  Yeah. Let's see what I roll here to to
• 8:21
  to throw. Just roll the bat.
• 8:27
  Oh yeah. It's a form of attack.
• 8:29
  You're smart. 15 + 6 so 21. Technically minus, so it
• 8:37
  technically cancels out because I'm doing a called shot to.
• 8:42
  You being nice and telling the GM stuff.
• 8:44
  Yes. So the call shots -6 the luck is
• 8:47
  +6. This is technically a surprise
• 8:50
  attack. So he gets -2, Evasion 16.
• 8:53
  But -2? That means the baseball bat
• 8:56
  smacks him on the arm and it sticks.
• 8:59
  Almost magnetizing to his forcep, and it starts to
• 9:05
  electrify his whole arm as the arm starts to jitter.
• 9:10
  His arm goes into his arm, points upwards and pulls the
• 9:14
  trigger three times as the gun fires under his trigger finger.
• 9:22
  Now, in this moment, that's a. So wrong initiative.
• 9:26
  No. Oh.
• 9:29
  How many attacks do you get with a melee attack?
• 9:31
  2 But the bat's gone. Look at.
• 9:35
  Look at how far you are. It's not far.
• 9:37
  Punch him. Punch him.
• 9:39
  Punch him. Grab the bat again?
• 9:41
  No. In his jittering as you try and
• 9:45
  grab the bat to get it back, you miss as he jitters and shifts
• 9:50
  backwards to accidentally avoid you as he continues to be
• 9:55
  electrocuted. This gives him.
• 9:57
  A -, 5 to this roll for initiative.
• 10:01
  Jeez, Louise Vendo. It's like almost legendary.
• 10:07
  I I put some energy drink powder in mine.
• 10:10
  In your what? My, my smoothies we had earlier.
• 10:14
  Oh, oh, it feels like that was ages ago.
• 10:17
  No, no. That car ride was was a while,
• 10:20
  especially with all those twists and turns.
• 10:23
  Well, and then Jeb's parking job took an eternity.
• 10:27
  Should we? Get him back at the chamber as
• 10:30
  long as it beeps so he doesn't have to beep.
• 10:33
  He'll probably do it anyway. I'd like to hear it though.
• 10:36
  You'll be kind of nice. But enough about that.
• 10:39
  Let's fuck them up. Vendel's just going to go
• 10:42
  straight to slice this first guard as you come into the
• 10:46
  Bubble Cafe. Hey you random guard, fuck you.
• 10:49
  What? What?
• 10:52
  And Vendale flips their sword out and slices into this guy,
• 10:56
  completely unawares. They roll a 22 crit plus 9 crit.
• 11:00
  That's very high. I did.
• 11:03
  I did a really good crit. Fuck you, random guard.
• 11:06
  And I get to hit twice, get stuffed.
• 11:11
  I get a bit arrogant in their fighting sub and as they swipe a
• 11:14
  second time the guy bends over. To grab the wound in his stomach
• 11:20
  and accidentally completely dodges the sword swipe.
• 11:24
  Oh fuck Thisler, right? Bendel.
• 11:25
  He's he's very maimed. Yeah, but that second hit had
• 11:28
  more damage. Fuck, it did have a lot more
• 11:30
  damage. But we don't.
• 11:32
  We didn't. We don't know that it didn't
• 11:34
  hit. Does Vendel stay there in front
• 11:38
  of the guard? Yes.
• 11:38
  The guard that was just hit by Vendel turns around as it is
• 11:42
  their turn and attempts to push them away.
• 11:46
  Like pushing them? Sure.
• 11:48
  Vendel. No.
• 11:52
  Tries to look cool as they dodge and gets pushed over.
• 11:55
  You do. You think you know Iona?
• 12:00
  You push me. I roll a crip.
• 12:02
  Fail. Vendel.
• 12:04
  Vendel. Vendel.
• 12:06
  I don't think that energy drink was good for you.
• 12:08
  You. Think it's giving me weird
• 12:10
  feelings? Yeah, your head might be a
• 12:13
  little buzzy. It's OK.
• 12:15
  Crawl. Crawl back to me if you care.
• 12:18
  OK. And while on the floor, this
• 12:22
  guard pulls out of his pistol and tries to shoot Vendel.
• 12:25
  Vendel gets hit for seven damage of lading their armor by lunch.
• 12:30
  Oh fuck you. I was on the ground.
• 12:31
  That's unfair. No, fuck you, you slice me in
• 12:34
  the stomach. Ow, that is unfair UN
• 12:36
  unsportsmanlike. Fly with the play.
• 12:41
  Arthur, keep an eye on those, on those, on those hostages.
• 12:44
  I'm a God. No.
• 12:45
  I know there's just fighting going on where you just pay
• 12:46
  attention. OK, Pauline, man, it's bad first
• 12:50
  day. One of the guards in the back of
• 12:52
  the room steps forward, pulls out their heavy pistol and tries
• 12:55
  to shoot. Retro, of course hitting retro
• 12:58
  for 9 damage of leading their their shield by 9 as it fizzles
• 13:01
  around you retro. You can smell the perfume of the
• 13:07
  Bubble Cafe pierced through this.
• 13:10
  Static electric shield around you it.
• 13:12
  Does sound delicious. You think because of course, you
• 13:15
  have no sense of smell. That could be an upgrade, right?
• 13:17
  That's I saw you about that. He's here, all right.
• 13:21
  Well, since you were on sportsmanlike, I think you're
• 13:24
  the one that I have to shoot. What new guy?
• 13:27
  No new guys over there with the hostages.
• 13:29
  I'm just oh fuck, you shot at me.
• 13:34
  It missed. But fucking hell, I was
• 13:36
  explaining who are the one? Oh, I don't care.
• 13:40
  Yes, that does hit. Ow.
• 13:45
  Fuck, that's actually a lot of damage, boss.
• 13:48
  These guys have good weapons and they feel like very experienced
• 13:54
  Night City people. Yes, that.
• 13:58
  Fuck. The energy in this fight is
• 14:00
  weird. I would have to agree with you,
• 14:02
  Chad. And you know, I just thought of
• 14:04
  something instead of we had the rule of trying to figure out who
• 14:08
  were the baddies and who were the good guys.
• 14:10
  And we said anyone that's got bubble tea, don't shoot them.
• 14:13
  But I got AI think I got a better idea.
• 14:15
  And whoever has a gun, shoot them.
• 14:18
  Sore tooth pops up from under a table, yes.
• 14:20
  I I also have a gun. I'm here.
• 14:22
  Thank you for coming to save me. Oh, banana, don't shoot him.
• 14:26
  Hi, Jeb. Any anyone else who's innocent,
• 14:29
  have a gun. Everybody.
• 14:31
  Raises their hand. Is talking not a free action?
• 14:40
  Opening the door is an accent. Is that who is I?
• 14:47
  I can't understand your accent are.
• 14:50
  You are you. Are you supposed to be Reeves?
• 15:00
  Oh fuck you oh. Fuck you.
• 15:03
  Retro. I don't feel like engaging with
• 15:06
  witty banner with one liner today, so Retro is going to run
• 15:13
  for this table here and try to slide across it to get to the
• 15:17
  corner, at the same time firing off their shotgun at this guard
• 15:22
  right here. That's awesome.
• 15:24
  You run Jump Royal Athletics. I mean, it's sliding across the
• 15:28
  table. That seems like a basic anybody
• 15:32
  can do. I don't know that Jade could do
• 15:36
  that. Retro says this.
• 15:38
  Anybody could do this, rolls a 17 and does a very slick job of
• 15:42
  this table slide spinning on their bum in kind of a cute way
• 15:46
  as they go over the table. They.
• 15:49
  Yeah, it's almost. Like they're gonna it's.
• 15:50
  Almost like a spinner Rooney. So while I go sliding on the
• 15:53
  table on my shoulder, I lift up on it and so now it looks like
• 15:57
  I'm actually doing. A pinwheel break dancing, move
• 16:00
  at the same time and in between my legs as I spin over.
• 16:03
  I fire my shotgun at the guy while landing over on the
• 16:05
  opposite side of the table. Do it 18.
• 16:09
  Your K tech tech hammer shotgun goes off and it hits this guy in
• 16:15
  the back for 19 damage. It has armor piercing as well,
• 16:19
  taking his armor down by two and taking out a serious amount of
• 16:24
  his health. Oh fuck.
• 16:28
  Oh. Arthur, he's got one of those
• 16:29
  really good guns, you know, the ones you can find in like, Black
• 16:33
  Chrome and shit. Oh yeesh.
• 16:36
  Fuck. Arthur is in the corner, Arthur
• 16:41
  standing there next to my hostages.
• 16:43
  Two of his friends have just been shot and it's my first day
• 16:48
  and he's he's he's not roll high enough.
• 16:52
  To keep his cool in this situation and he just panicked.
• 16:55
  I don't know guys. I don't this is too much.
• 16:58
  I just. I just didn't want to work for
• 17:00
  some of the coffee anymore. I'm good.
• 17:02
  I'm. I'm sorry.
• 17:03
  Puts the gun down. Can I go?
• 17:09
  I mean, I'm cool. Was it you guys?
• 17:10
  I didn't. Shoot anyone?
• 17:12
  I'm zero on there, OK? I'm.
• 17:14
  I'm going to walk. Out.
• 17:15
  If you walk out, it will shoot you.
• 17:16
  It's not your turn. I can fucking get away with
• 17:18
  this. Get fucked and he believes.
• 17:22
  Anyone else? Anyone else want to go?
• 17:24
  You shot me, not you. But he did.
• 17:27
  You're his friends. I'm going to fuck you up.
• 17:29
  Plus, you know we've got a friend in the back protecting
• 17:31
  the van. Why did you say that?
• 17:34
  Because oh fuck. I mean how how many, how many of
• 17:37
  you other hench men want to want to skedaddle?
• 17:40
  Anyone. Else, we both talk, there's only
• 17:41
  two. There's only two.
• 17:42
  Oh, I thought there was another guy.
• 17:44
  Right here. No, there's hostages over there
• 17:46
  with the, with the. That's a hostage.
• 17:47
  Right there, over there, Right over there.
• 17:51
  Who's this guy there but? That that's the guard that that
• 17:54
  your ninja friend sliced in the chest and then they shot me.
• 17:58
  Well, yeah. Do you want to go?
• 17:59
  You you can go. It's my turn, Jeb.
• 18:03
  That you make right. Yeah.
• 18:06
  Nailed it. Got it in one take.
• 18:08
  This, and he pulls an arrow out of his arm.
• 18:11
  The flesh solidifies around the hole that he created by pulling
• 18:16
  this thing out of him. He lays it into a crossbow,
• 18:19
  which he pulls out his leg, and he shoots you from across the
• 18:22
  room. Did you dig that crossbow out of
• 18:23
  your life? You say as it completely misses
• 18:26
  you. Whoa.
• 18:31
  Fuck. I mean, listen, dudes.
• 18:34
  You know, unite. I'll give you that it.
• 18:37
  Just hurts because I've done this before in front of you and
• 18:40
  seem to have not let the lasting impact.
• 18:42
  He pulls now around of his own laser into that bow.
• 18:45
  Did you find? That oh the the arrow, Rosa Crip
• 18:51
  minus the arrow, bounces off the front of the bow, lands in the
• 18:57
  air, and then just goes into his shoulder.
• 19:00
  Ow. Fuck.
• 19:03
  I used to be. An AI until I took an arrow to
• 19:06
  the shoulder. Did we have we crossed paths
• 19:11
  before? It's not really ringing a bell.
• 19:13
  Cowboy, many times you and I ruined a rug.
• 19:17
  Oh. No, whoa, Jeb doing.
• 19:25
  I mean, I I've, I've ruined a few rugs.
• 19:28
  I don't remember ruining it with this guy.
• 19:29
  Wow that. Fame is going to your head, Jeb.
• 19:33
  Damn. I mean, I guess I I, you know,
• 19:36
  I've only I I don't seem to have the best memory, but I I really
• 19:40
  would have thought that I would remember you.
• 19:43
  Well, you got a whole like. Yeah, get up.
• 19:44
  This whole situation is a real big rug pull all.
• 19:49
  Right, I've had enough. No more lines from you and.
• 19:54
  VV is going to pull out her Senate Sandru Hello Cutie, Ultra
• 19:57
  K Assault Pistol and. I.
• 20:00
  Think you read it out every? Time.
• 20:02
  Every time. It's just such a long name.
• 20:05
  And she's going to fire at him, Otto.
• 20:11
  Oh. That's double damage.
• 20:13
  You rolled 18. The requirement was 17-7.
• 20:17
  Yeah, that's double damage. Damn, she rolled the you.
• 20:21
  Click the little button on the side of your gun.
• 20:23
  It giggles just a little bit as it goes into auto fire mode, and
• 20:27
  you hail some bullets at Walker rolling an 18.
• 20:32
  That gives you double damage, so you're nine turns into an 18 as
• 20:36
  well. You do 18 damage to the Walker.
• 20:39
  She's seeing some damage once again.
• 20:42
  You suspect that this is a new body that he's in and seems
• 20:47
  pretty fresh, but you have fucked up a good.
• 20:50
  Portion of his outer skin and armor with that hip and he takes
• 20:54
  a step back. Fuck, why are you guys so good?
• 20:59
  Why are you looking for us? Because you're trying to stop
• 21:03
  the the AI thing. That's and.
• 21:06
  You you thought that this would be a good place to find us?
• 21:10
  How? Why?
• 21:12
  Well. We can't find you.
• 21:14
  Anymore, so you came here. Yes, because we knew that.
• 21:16
  You Dang hung out here. Is that the right?
• 21:18
  Tendency you humans use. I mean, to be fair, Doc, you did
• 21:23
  come real quick as soon as I found out.
• 21:26
  He's got to blame his plan. I fell for the bait, yeah.
• 21:31
  Whatever. Do you just stand there or do
• 21:34
  you move? I move closer to him.
• 21:37
  Cool. Getting getting pretty close,
• 21:39
  right? It looks like the the hostages
• 21:43
  that are us over here, It looks like we don't have a guard
• 21:46
  guarding us. You know what that means?
• 21:48
  It means I'm going to use a gun. Sawtooth stands up from the
• 21:51
  table, points it at the guard in the hallway that retrofit, and
• 21:55
  lets out a huge hail of bullets from his assault rifle, rolling
• 21:58
  a + 4 crit. The bullets hail into the back
• 22:02
  of this guy and he falls forward.
• 22:05
  Oh yes, that's right. And it's my professional opinion
• 22:08
  by now that you need. Medical assistance because he
• 22:11
  has to roll on the critical injury table.
• 22:13
  Oh, hey, I'm sorry, Tooth. Oh, did you just, you just
• 22:17
  happened to be getting the bubble tea when this whole thing
• 22:20
  went down? Or were you starting late?
• 22:22
  Yes, we had a phone call earlier and then this place got attacked
• 22:25
  by these Dick heads. No, I'm just wondering if you
• 22:28
  were part of the plan to set the bait for us or if you just
• 22:31
  happened to be in the wrong place, the wrong time, wrong
• 22:33
  place, wrong time, VD said. I should check the place out,
• 22:36
  and I did. By the way, the beverages are
• 22:39
  excellent. Wrong place, wrong time, wrong
• 22:43
  customer to fuck with. One of the metal.
• 22:46
  Souvenir bubble teacups flies off one of the tables as it gets
• 22:50
  clipped by one of the bullets and lodges itself into the wound
• 22:53
  of this guy. What?
• 22:54
  An. Incredibly specific injury.
• 22:59
  He's now got this like Tumblr sticking out of him.
• 23:01
  It's like a 30 ounce Tumblr has been bored into his back.
• 23:08
  That's a rate of fire of 1. I'm going to hide under this
• 23:09
  table. You go tunes.
• 23:12
  All right, well, listen, you know, I appreciate your your
• 23:15
  unique bit that you had going on with your crossbow and all that,
• 23:19
  but, you know, sometimes it's better to just stick with the
• 23:22
  classics, you know? And that's why I got a Grand
• 23:25
  Pappy's Colt 45. It's always, it's always shoots
• 23:29
  straight and when I want to it shoots people. 28 Your first
• 23:34
  bullet rips through the air, hitting him for just five
• 23:37
  damage. And his armour flies off and
• 23:40
  splats against the wall, turning into black goo as it sinks down
• 23:44
  to the floor. The next bullet hits him again.
• 23:47
  More of his armour and skin flies off to the back wall,
• 23:51
  turning black and sticking to the floor.
• 23:56
  Fuck. That's what you're going to say?
• 23:59
  I'm like, what else is there to say?
• 24:01
  I got you. That's better than what I said.
• 24:07
  Fuck your favorite multiverse hopping game.
• 24:19
  System jumping, high production value Actual Play Podcast is

• 24:33
  melody. Follow our heroes as they try to
• 24:36
  break out of prison. This is clearly a cell.
• 24:39
  I've seen a cell before. In any universe, this is a cell
• 24:41
  fly through asteroid belts. Break into high security
• 24:46
  government buildings. Hey, give.
• 24:49
  Me a mark there. Excuse me, I'm from the library
• 24:52
  police and punch fascists. That's always very cool.
• 24:56
  Catch up on season one of System Switch now or jump in for your
• 24:59
  first time when Season 2 premieres on November 16th.
• 25:02
  Wherever you get your podcasts, the multiverse is a strange
• 25:07
  place, OK? I've had a fucking knife.
• 25:19
  Door bursts open, Reeves bursts through.
• 25:23
  Reeves has entered the initiative.
• 25:25
  Reeves jumps into the room holding 2 pistols.
• 25:29
  OK, my guy going to be real. I'm kind of sick and tired of
• 25:32
  people fucking with the Bubble cafe.
• 25:34
  Oh hey baby, What's up anyway? Fuck you.
• 25:39
  Oh, go Reeves. Damn.
• 25:40
  Oh God damn. His first shot hits Walker from
• 25:45
  the side without really Walker realizing he's there, taking 14
• 25:50
  damage. It makes Walker stagger towards
• 25:53
  the wall as he turns to face Reeves.
• 25:56
  He gets hit again in the hip and falls to his knees going
• 26:00
  underneath half health. He takes his hands to his waist
• 26:06
  and his skin on his leg and his hand mold together.
• 26:10
  He's now one off. Oh.
• 26:12
  Fuck, don't touch yourself while you're healing.
• 26:17
  Is that from roof shot first exploding?
• 26:20
  Yes. Holy crap.
• 26:21
  So in the process of healing, he has healed his left hand to his
• 26:25
  hip. He's now on his knees.
• 26:27
  Fuck. Don't touch the word.
• 26:30
  While he's healing seven, fuck like rules of what Never.
• 26:35
  Mind. All right.
• 26:37
  No, no, that's cool. And Reeves slides behind the
• 26:40
  counter of the bubble camera, right next to an Alice who is
• 26:44
  now hiding underneath the desk. It's my turn.
• 26:49
  Fuck you, everyone in general. Not you, sore tooth.
• 26:53
  Oh you Reeves. It's nice to see you.
• 26:56
  It is me again. You're the one who rolls for me.
• 27:00
  So I I have to like, wait, what do?
• 27:03
  What do I do? Iona.
• 27:05
  Get up. Get up.
• 27:07
  Oh yeah, right. And hit him again.
• 27:10
  OK. 17 Hitting for 11 damage, Bendel strikes this guy to the
• 27:16
  side and he slides across the ground.
• 27:19
  Bendel jumps off the side of the counter, jumps down and slices
• 27:23
  him through, cutting him right across the chest.
• 27:25
  And he falls to the ground dead. Damn.
• 27:30
  Fuck you. That's right, Bendel.
• 27:34
  Yeah, fuck that guy. Yeah, fuck that guy.
• 27:37
  He's dead now. In particular.
• 27:39
  Yeah, that guy in particular, the one I'm pointing at on the
• 27:41
  ground. Yeah, that one.
• 27:43
  He's the one. Yeah.
• 27:43
  Don't eat this one. I want him to.
• 27:45
  Oh, I mean kidding. No, we're listening full of
• 27:48
  people we don't know. I'm kidding everyone.
• 27:50
  I'm kidding. Strike one.
• 27:53
  The other guard is sort of surrounded, and he points his
• 27:56
  gun at Retro. The closest target turns on his
• 27:59
  auto fire and pulls the trick, rolling a 13 as a crit -8.
• 28:05
  All of the bullets miss, rip around you, and even miss.
• 28:08
  The light fixture behind you, causing almost no damage to the
• 28:11
  room, Whatever. It's actually kind of
• 28:13
  embarrassing, yeah. Fuck.
• 28:15
  I was hiding behind that table. It just Peppers up the table and
• 28:18
  says. Fuck.
• 28:19
  Fuck. Fuck.
• 28:20
  It's like a perfect V You completely missed wherever I was
• 28:23
  at. Shut up.
• 28:25
  I'm a professional God, So. But not a professional shot.
• 28:29
  Fuck you. That's me.
• 28:32
  Fuck this. Guy in particular.
• 28:35
  Well, me. Guess you. 24 Hitting this guy
• 28:40
  square on for 11 damage. He falls to the ground.
• 28:44
  The Tumblr goes through his abdomen and sticks out the other
• 28:48
  side. He's now impaled on a 30 ounce
• 28:52
  bubble tea container. It has bored out a huge portion
• 28:58
  of his intestines and back muscle like a cookie cutter.
• 29:02
  That falls out of him like sausage.
• 29:04
  Oh, that's fucked. He has very little health left,
• 29:08
  but he is also fairly incapacitable.
• 29:11
  I'd say more than that. Yeah, it looks like he was
• 29:13
  shaking. That stirred.
• 29:14
  Oh, what? You know that pretty good one
• 29:16
  liner. Hey Walker, you want to?
• 29:18
  Don't even have. Don't even stop.
• 29:22
  Me. Are we just killing them or all
• 29:24
  of them? Well, if we let any of them get
• 29:27
  away, they'll get the AI core out of here.
• 29:29
  So we sort of have to fuck them all up.
• 29:30
  Oh yeah, you're right. Iona, you take five or six very
• 29:36
  leisurely paces forward to get a better shot and pull the
• 29:40
  trigger. I did.
• 29:41
  It's another 24. It hits him square as he begs
• 29:45
  for his life. No, no, no, no.
• 29:49
  Oh boy. And he dies on the ground.
• 29:52
  Sorry, is there anyone else that's not a hostage?
• 29:58
  No, I think that was it. Other than Walker, of course.
• 30:01
  He's still yes. He's.
• 30:03
  Yes. Still here for now.
• 30:05
  That's right. Fuck.
• 30:07
  You all of us versus you, Walker.
• 30:08
  You really want to play this game.
• 30:10
  Well, you let me leave. Well, no, you probably not.
• 30:16
  So, but we could talk about maybe letting you leave.
• 30:19
  If you can give us some information, you know your life
• 30:23
  ain't worthless. Yes, but the difference between
• 30:27
  you and me is that your it's. Duplicatable.
• 30:31
  OK, right. So if we kill you anyway, it's
• 30:35
  still not going to make a difference.
• 30:36
  Does that your time? Well, I if you.
• 30:39
  I mean, I suppose in theory if you killed my AI cord before it
• 30:41
  left this building, I would have no memory of this fight
• 30:43
  whatsoever. It's not like, you know,
• 30:46
  connected to the Internet or something.
• 30:48
  There's there's no cloud based storage for.
• 30:52
  Yeah. No, no, We couldn't get our
• 30:53
  satellites up into the ground. Someone fucked with them.
• 30:55
  Why am I telling you so much? It's it's an ability I have
• 30:59
  people feel comfortable. Around you.
• 31:02
  I mean, this very much is a buy or die situation, but so?
• 31:06
  I can't let you live. OK, yeah, you know what I mean.
• 31:11
  Like this feels more personal to VB and I really don't want to
• 31:14
  have to take this away from them, so I'm going to post up in
• 31:19
  between these two. Hostages.
• 31:24
  And I'm just going to train my shotgun.
• 31:31
  Yeah. Yeah.
• 31:31
  Oh, yeah. Oh, sorry.
• 31:32
  No, I didn't mean to. I know, it's absolutely fine.
• 31:34
  Everyone, The TV guy is one of my friends.
• 31:38
  What is that you're drinking right there?
• 31:39
  Me. No, the one that's screaming me.
• 31:43
  Yeah, lavender. Bubble tea?
• 31:45
  Oh, that sounds delicious. I'm going to.
• 31:47
  I'm just going to reach my TV head.
• 31:48
  Hey, that's fine. It's.
• 31:50
  Got double caffeine in it. Now I'm really on the edge
• 31:56
  because I'm about to break and I keep my I keep my gun trained
• 32:01
  there, ready for somebody to come to the door that's ready
• 32:03
  for the pain. And it's Walker's turn.
• 32:05
  Dun Dun Dun. He flexes his remaining hand and
• 32:08
  it swells because he's got big knucks.
• 32:13
  He takes a swing at VV. Be a nine.
• 32:15
  Ha, ha, ha. Yeah. 12 Yes, he swings at you,
• 32:22
  but only having one arm kind of falls over slightly and smashes
• 32:25
  his hand into the ground, cracking the really nice floor
• 32:29
  that's in here and causing a little bit of property damage.
• 32:31
  Paint chips fly from the ground and scatter across your boots as
• 32:35
  dust settles in the room. You're going to pay for that,
• 32:38
  Yo, dude. Not cool.
• 32:42
  How much damage has been done in this place?
• 32:45
  Well, like the blood stain's going to be a real bummer.
• 32:47
  We can get an estimator in here real quick.
• 32:49
  You know, I don't think I got a guy I would be down to clean.
• 32:53
  I am into that. Who?
• 32:55
  Who just volunteered to clean me saw tooth.
• 32:58
  Hi, baby. Use.
• 32:59
  A fiend for cleaning. I do love the cleaning.
• 33:02
  I'm down. I will help.
• 33:03
  You know what? I, Reeves and Alice, come here.
• 33:08
  This is this is for all of us. For the Bubble Cafe.
• 33:13
  You guys can finish him and then we'll all help clean up.
• 33:19
  You've backed the Moody little bit.
• 33:22
  I I hand. Well, Reeves has a shotgun or
• 33:26
  something, right? He's got 2 heavy pistols.
• 33:29
  OK, Reeves, you can finish him off.
• 33:32
  Really. Yes, my tune.
• 33:35
  That is so kind. Jeb, do you mind?
• 33:38
  Not at all. Go for it, my guy.
• 33:39
  I appreciate that. Because you are ahead of me in
• 33:42
  initiative. Oh, it's not a problem.
• 33:44
  Yo, weird robot goo guy. You suck massive donkey balls so
• 33:51
  much that they're extinct. Get fucked.
• 33:55
  He shoots him twice, and this mass of robotic flesh and sinew
• 34:01
  that stuck to himself just rips into pieces as part of his skull
• 34:06
  smashes on the ground. And his semi positronic bio
• 34:11
  brain that he's got spills across the the ground, turning
• 34:16
  into Black Goose itself as his body staggers to the left.
• 34:20
  He leans on the back door and bursts through.
• 34:24
  There on the other side. Standing in the doorway as
• 34:27
  Walker falls to the ground and dies is a guard.
• 34:33
  Did you want to get out of here? It's over.
• 34:35
  Cool. Have you?
• 34:36
  Have you seen my brother? Yeah.
• 34:39
  He ran off. He was he was like, I'm out of
• 34:42
  here. Yeah.
• 34:44
  He's the one. He was like, I I this ain't
• 34:46
  worth my life. And then he left.
• 34:48
  So if you want to go ahead and get out of here, I've.
• 34:52
  Like, sorry. He steps over Walker's body.
• 34:55
  I'm really sorry the vehicle's over there.
• 34:57
  Don't worry about the beeping. I don't really know what that's
• 34:59
  about. All right.
• 35:00
  Have a great day. Sorry.
• 35:01
  Excuse me, sorry, big fan of your work jam.
• 35:05
  Really. Wait, is he going to the front
• 35:07
  door? He's going through the front
• 35:08
  door, yeah. I take a shot.
• 35:10
  Just big, big fan of your watch out.
• 35:12
  You're really, really great. Yeah, no problem.
• 35:15
  Hey, it's always nice to meet a fan.
• 35:18
  Oh God. You miss rolling a -, 3 kick
• 35:24
  crit. Your bullet flies over his head.
• 35:25
  Whoa, no, no, no, no. No, no, no.
• 35:28
  I'm, I'm, I'm Arthur's brother. I give.
• 35:30
  Up, aren't you? Aren't you?
• 35:31
  Aren't you a bad guy? We're supposed to shoot the bad
• 35:32
  guys, right? I haven't shiny one yet.
• 35:34
  I'm 0 kill right now. You sure the bad guys, right?
• 35:38
  The, the, the, the nice, the the doctor, The doctor person.
• 35:41
  The doctor lady. Can I call you Doctor, Lady?
• 35:44
  Yes, you're loud. Could somebody please.
• 35:46
  Tell me that I could leave. Is that true?
• 35:48
  I can't hear anybody. I'm all the way over here, far
• 35:50
  away from everybody else. I don't know what's going on.
• 35:53
  I suppose let him leave. OK, sorry.
• 35:58
  BB said let him leave. OK, here's here's my money.
• 36:01
  Here's here's 4. 100 Eddies? Yes, we could use that to repair
• 36:05
  the cafe. Cool.
• 36:06
  Here's my money. I'm sorry.
• 36:08
  The cars unlocked. All right, get out before we
• 36:12
  shoot again. I grabbed the Eddies.
• 36:15
  And combat he's. Over Reeves, that was quite
• 36:17
  vulgar, the things you've said to one liner.
• 36:22
  Oh shit. Reeves is here.
• 36:24
  Dude. What's up heavy hair TV team?
• 36:26
  What's going? On.
• 36:28
  I don't know. I just had the lavender T over
• 36:29
  there. That was amazing.
• 36:30
  Oh, you like it? Yeah, it was really good.
• 36:32
  I'm like kind of pumped on it right now.
• 36:34
  I grew the lavender bacteria myself.
• 36:36
  Oh, cool. Yeah.
• 36:38
  Yeah. Holy shit, this is a mess.
• 36:42
  Yeah. Well, it's all this black stuff
• 36:45
  on the ground. Oh, it's a robot dude guy.
• 36:49
  Yeah, there's some. There's some Chrome in there and
• 36:52
  it's all black. Can I go and inspect it?
• 36:55
  It's starting to dissipate. Yeah, can I inspect it real
• 36:58
  quick? Yes, but as you come near it, it
• 37:00
  is starting to just turn into vapor.
• 37:06
  As you're checking out the flesh on the ground, you manage to
• 37:10
  identify as the biotechnic of flesh that you've seen before.
• 37:14
  And as you look over to Walker, he sort of twitches and clicks
• 37:18
  and his whole body goes green. As this stuff protrudes from
• 37:23
  every pore in his body and he dissolves an acid, there he was
• 37:29
  back your porch. Of the Bubble Cafe.
• 37:32
  Slowly turning into nothing but vapour.
• 37:34
  Oh goodness, she's gone. Is there going to be more
• 37:37
  repairs? Guys, the vans beeping.
• 37:45
  That bastard. The van that we should probably
• 37:48
  look at that. He's stealing our van.
• 37:51
  No, it's the other. Not fan of white?
• 37:53
  I will. Run now retro.
• 37:55
  You come outside and fan away. It's fine.
• 37:56
  No, no. Retro the van back here.
• 37:58
  The the Walker's van. It's beeping.
• 38:00
  Beeping it's. Jacking their ride?
• 38:06
  No, I I don't know why you're assuming someone's jacking their
• 38:08
  ride when we're supposed to be hacking their ride, but at this
• 38:12
  moment in time, it sounds like it's beeping, which leads me to
• 38:16
  believe it's a bomb. Explosive.
• 38:19
  Well, that's just, you know. As as cliche.
• 38:22
  As fuck. As Iona says, Bomb Vendel opens
• 38:26
  the back of the truck and in the back there's just a big machine
• 38:31
  and it's beeping and there's a screen on it.
• 38:33
  Vendel What does it say? It says deletion in progress is
• 38:38
  that bad? Yeah, it's probably fine.
• 38:41
  Rummy, it's time to do a hack. God damn it, it's time to do a
• 38:46
  hack. It's time to do a hack.
• 38:49
  Run to do the hack. Do we need, do we need fresh pee
• 38:53
  or? We might.
• 38:57
  Can you not handle this for me? No, he's got it.
• 39:02
  Yeah, Retro, you've got it. I'm going to cheerlead for you.
• 39:05
  Yeah. Look, this is a trash bag.
• 39:07
  It's like a pom pom. Yeah.
• 39:08
  Oh, it. Smells.
• 39:09
  All that's really close come from here.
• 39:14
  What I know Smell. Like garbage.
• 39:17
  One liner has always been a trophy little bitch, so if I
• 39:22
  just pull the red wire. 33 You pull the red wire and the little
• 39:29
  window opens with and it's just a folder in this one folder that
• 39:34
  says oil rig information, pulling a 33 electronic security
• 39:38
  tech. You have lucked your way into
• 39:41
  finding this data, and it's right there on the screen.
• 39:44
  Oh, excuse the fuck on that is all skill.
• 39:46
  I didn't even use a bit of luck on that.
• 39:49
  That's Yeah, that's right. You tell the GM.
• 39:52
  Fuck that guy. So retro there's the file on the
• 39:55
  screen. There's a little bit of time to
• 39:57
  get it before the whole core gets deleted.
• 40:00
  Yeah, I'm going to be tapped, get my information back.
• 40:04
  You pull your tile out and you load the information onto your
• 40:07
  tile. Zoop.
• 40:09
  As you remove the tile the whole.
• 40:12
  AI core goes green and then disappears into vapor, causing a
• 40:19
  hole to appear in the bottom of the van, and it very slowly
• 40:22
  starts to eat away at the bottom half of this white van, which as
• 40:27
  it's dripping through the drivetrain, is very quickly
• 40:30
  going to be completely wrecked. That's fine.
• 40:34
  It's not our van, but they'll come here, let me sanitize you.
• 40:37
  Oh. You're out of four.
• 40:38
  Thank you. And retro has the files.
• 40:43
  What? What files do you have?
• 40:45
  Well, it's a bunch of files. I got to.
• 40:47
  I got to encrypt them first. It's going to take a minute.
• 40:50
  Why don't we get a drink? I would love one.
• 40:55
  Oh, I'll take a drink. Bubble tea?
• 40:58
  Yo, good news. The lavender bacteria is ready.
• 41:03
  Oh yeah. I guess.
• 41:06
  Let's get our bubble on. Next time on no latency.
• 41:31
  Shit, I could have got this with drugs.
• 41:32
  You know, I'm just really glad that we took the time to give
• 41:35
  back to the community. You dirty dog, you.
• 41:37
  Oh my goodness. You see?
• 41:40
  Me. You were neck and reefs.
• 41:42
  I think we got a message. Do you think I'm evil?
• 41:45
  Look at me. I can read this this this
• 41:47
  confidential note from Biotechnica.
• 41:50
  Evil laugh at the end was quite convincing, so looks like the
• 41:53
  oil rig is on top. Get in on the top label.
• 41:56
  Oh, come in from underneath. Quite a bit of security on that
• 42:00
  and more defenses as we go down. I vote from below as well.
• 42:04
  Let's be honest, Y'all we're going underwater.
• 42:07
  Just because it's cool. I don't know.
• 42:08
  I spent a lot of money on V. A Night City.
• 42:12
  Sorry, Vendel. You're going to keep dreaming.
• 42:14
  It's a disposable economy, yo. Captain Jeb, you do know that
• 42:19
  we're going under the water, right?
• 42:21
  OK, well then hand me a bag, Captain, and send me off.
