0:20
You don't find anybody's name from No latency in there.
0:22
Not even any sono. A little bitch tonight we're
0:25
going to my old workplace. In need of a certain type of
0:28
body. Yes, at the morgue.
0:30
That's convenient. Usually disabled key cards once
0:33
you've left Doctor. Dave.
0:35
And CM13 the whole. Morgue is on lockdown.
0:38
Why is the morgue on lockdown? Well, is there a way to lift the
0:40
lockdown? Vivi, what kind of car does
0:43
Doctor Dave drive? I don't.
0:44
Know something corporate? Oh.
0:46
No. That's a concern.
0:49
Are. You gonna please reply?
1:01
I don't. I don't like these kind of these
1:03
jokes. This is not funny.
1:04
I Guys, guys, I'm panicking. Guys, I'm panicking.
1:07
Guys, I'm panicking. That's my job.
1:08
No panic. Oh my God, that's my job.
1:10
I should have gone with them. Oh my goodness.
1:12
I want to make. I want to make.
1:13
Yes. Remain calm.
1:15
I know where they went, so let's just all head to the back.
1:19
There's a back panel that they were trying to investigate, so
1:24
let's just head back there. It's only been a couple of
1:27
minutes so they couldn't have gone far.
1:30
OK. It's easier to It's easier to
1:31
see you in the dark when you talk loudly.
1:34
Yeah, something about your good vibrations.
1:37
My ripples. Good vibrations, Phoebe, don't.
1:42
Talk about your ripples in public.
1:45
Phoebe, I don't say this to you very often, but phrasing.
1:52
OK, follow my. Ripples.
1:54
Good Lord, you doubled down on that, OK.
2:00
To the back, everybody. Wow.
2:06
Iona, as you come around the corner, you see a van parked
2:09
behind the building, not in a space across from a window.
2:13
Is do does it look like my former boss's van?
2:17
Doctor Dave? No.
2:20
OK. That is Doctor Dave's car is
2:22
yellow. OK?
2:23
That is not Doctor Dave's car. OK.
2:25
I think Iona is being kidnapped right now and it's not Doctor
2:28
Dave. I don't know who that is.
2:31
Maybe we did need a van. I.
2:35
Knew it. I'm sorry.
2:38
I. Just knew it.
2:40
Wait, wait, listen, you, we're taking, we're taking a, we're
2:45
taking ripples to a van fight. Damn it, Phoebe, you gave.
2:49
You gave Jeb affirmation. Now they're going to be loading
2:51
onto that for you for a while. I mean days.
2:55
Sure, OK. Maybe even a week.
2:57
What do we do? Should I shoot the vehicle?
2:59
No, that's probably not a good idea.
3:02
Guys, when you can't drive away. That may alert oh man, our whole
3:06
burger burglary plan burger burglary.
3:11
I can't say that word. Our whole burglary, our whole,
3:15
our whole plan is going to be changed.
3:17
The whole burglary, burglary, our whole burglary shit, OK, If
3:29
I, if I shoot, it's going to mess with our whole plan.
3:32
Then look, you know, we, we, we, we make a shot, or you, and you,
3:38
me and the rest of the other Hamburglars go and take out the
3:41
the car. You realize that Jeff's not
3:45
around you guys anymore. Where the hell did Jeff go and.
3:49
Then you just, you just hear. Oh, and Vanna White comes
3:52
screeching around the corner. Roll roll the driving check.
3:57
First roll the the the recording session. 25 Yes.
4:05
You drive the van down the side of the building and you've come
4:09
up to the corner. What do you want to do?
4:10
Oh. I was hoping to whip around the
4:12
corner and then pin that van against the wall.
4:18
So that. Oh shit, it can't go anywhere.
4:20
Phoebe Jump. No, she's going to jump over the
4:24
van. No, I'm jumping out of the way
4:26
of the van. Shit, Because Jeb, because Jeb
4:31
is not intending to hit you. You.
4:33
Yeah, you're all 21. You easily dodge the van I.
4:37
Want to like bone. I want to key bone the the enemy
4:42
van. Into.
4:45
The side of the building hitting it there so it can't get
4:49
anywhere, so it can't escape. With with potentially Ayona
4:52
inside. I mean, you know.
4:55
Yeah. So you, you, you skid out from
4:59
behind the building and head towards the van.
5:01
Meanwhile, inside the van. Pass, pass.
5:06
I I I there was someone souping outside.
5:07
I I I just grabbed them. I mean the van and.
5:10
Do I hear acceleration? And there's this smell of like,
5:14
sanitizer. While they're talking, Iona has
5:18
been pumping their sanitizer all through their hands and is
5:22
gently coating themselves in it over their cat suit.
5:26
So I can try and keep myself as slippery as possible and I'm
5:30
going to try and open the van door and slide out.
5:33
Right, This guy is still holding on to you.
5:35
If you want to get out from him, you're going to have to roll a
5:37
brawling check. Oh yeah, that's that's that's my
5:40
whole plan. We can take it step by step.
5:43
Yeah, but roll sanitization to see how good the sanitation
5:46
affects your ability to slide out to the arms of this guy.
5:50
Sure can do. Hell yeah, look at you rolling.
5:56
Hey. It rolls back sanitization when
5:59
I truly needed it most. When you truly, truly needed it
6:03
most. So inside the van, you have
6:06
dispensed sanitizer all over yourself.
6:09
You shift, and suddenly this guy's arms slide past it.
6:14
And you are. You're able to get out.
6:20
Great, I'm I'm I'm going straight from the door and
6:24
Slytherin my way out. She had.
6:27
She got out. And this is before Jeb Rams
6:31
into. Yep.
6:33
OK, so Iona jumps out the back of the van as you see Jeb careen
6:37
towards it. You see Jeb's eyes lit up with
6:43
passion and a huge grin on his face as he's put his foot down
6:46
to the metal roll it, driving check.
6:50
Van V Van it's. Like Mad Max.
6:53
Van. On there 3030 man on manic 30
6:59
you smash the van into the other van, crushing the net runner
7:05
against the inside of it. He gets pinned to the inside, it
7:09
smashes against the wall, crushing the window on the other
7:13
side, smashing it open. There's now way through if you
7:16
can get through the van and you hear a guy on the inside of the
7:21
building scream in surprise. I think we've been made, guys.
7:31
Yeah, it's less of a burglary now.
7:32
It's more of a hit and run so friends get in there.
7:36
Is the back door of the van that I slid out of still open?
7:40
Yes, I'm. Going to shoot this net runner
7:42
do it because they are pinned in the car and you don't get to
7:48
steal. Me.
7:53
Oh. Weird you've inflicted a
7:55
critical injury. But rolled.
7:57
No, you rolled fail. Wait, no, wait, wait.
8:00
The. Roll the crit failed, but the
8:02
dice the damage the. Dice.
8:03
Yeah, I. I turned it on the damage but I
8:05
failed. I failed the shot.
8:07
Damn you crit on a crit. Damn, that would.
8:09
Have been a good one. It's such a shame your first
8:11
bullet flies through the window of the van, blowing open the
8:14
windshield, and it shatters into a million pieces.
8:17
But you miss the guy. Oh.
8:18
Fuck. That was a warning shot.
8:21
Oh God, what? Are you doing here?
8:26
Well, you just shot me, so you don't.
8:27
Have to roll persuasion because of the crit damage but we're
8:31
stealing cyberwear. From dead people.
8:34
Well that's very messed up and you shouldn't kidnap people
8:38
either. I.
8:38
Mean we're not stealing a body. Well, close enough.
8:43
Who? Who do you work for?
8:44
We're just a A. Little gang, It was Synapse's
8:47
idea. Who's Synapse?
8:49
And out from the side of the building, a bunch of chains step
8:54
out. I am Synapse motherfucker.
8:59
And there's a guy standing behind the morgue holding a
9:02
giant mini gun, surrounded by three dudes.
9:06
Wait, so is Synapse. Encroaching on my job, Jim, What
9:10
the fuck? Hold on.
9:12
I mean, I think listen, to be honest with you.
9:15
Sorry. Hey Jeb, die here.
9:18
Did you smash into my fucking van?
9:21
Oh, well, that was before we, we thought that you were, you know,
9:24
encroaching upon our job much like you just said, But really
9:28
we're actually on to, you know, we can actually get through with
9:31
this, I think with mutual, you know, benefits.
9:36
So you y'all just go in there and you do your, your, you know,
9:40
stealing of the Cybertek stuff and we'll just take one body and
9:43
we'll get out of your hair. Jim, we were here first.
9:46
I think you better walk. We're going to steal some
9:50
cyberwear, kill the fucking doctor here, and then we're
9:52
fucking out. Oh no.
9:56
Don't need to kill Doctor Dave. What?
9:58
Was your name again? No witnesses.
10:00
You're lucky we're not going to kill you.
10:02
Now fuck off. What was your name again?
10:05
Synapse. Synapse amp Bummer 'cause you
10:09
can't, we can't. You can't kill Dave and.
10:16
Who's going to stop me? And I, I back and I'd get back
10:22
into the car. I was already in the car.
10:24
So I just you're in the day, reverse just.
10:27
Go for him. Wrong drive, turn to BB, quiet
10:31
job, in and out real easy. You know, I was really hoping to
10:37
put this new outfit to use. Oh well.
10:42
Can I use inspiration? Yes.
10:45
Great. You rolled a crit fail.
10:47
Oh, there it is. Good.
10:49
Can you roll me? Well, it actually depends on if
10:52
you can avoid it, I suppose. And all of his boys.
10:57
Yeah, you hit all of them. Yeah, Sam.
11:03
Well, they were all. Stacked like bowling pins.
11:05
Yeah. And you knocked them into this
11:08
sort of area of concrete behind the morgue as they're sprayed
11:12
out. You turned the van in such a way
11:16
that you can use it as cover. And Synapse takes this damage.
11:22
They all, they all take their their hits.
11:27
What the fuck, Jim? Yeah, I say you can't kill.
11:30
Leave. I'm sorry.
11:32
I'm going to go help Jeb. Let's go retro.
11:35
Here we go again. VV moves toward Vanna, White and
11:40
Jeb and into the action Pass. Iona, are you OK?
11:44
You just jump from a vehicle. Yes, I, I actually think that
11:48
I'm going to go back through the vehicle.
11:54
Don't tell them, but I'm going to, I'm going to come out the
11:56
other side. So I'm going to crawl through
11:57
the vehicle and through the I can't move my token anymore.
12:03
I'm going to crawl through the the back of the vehicle and
12:06
through the broken window and try to sneak out the back to
12:10
flank Synapse and the boys. Interesting.
12:15
So you're going to move through the van roll me athletics
12:19
because there is lots of sharp shrapnel etcetera.
12:22
Do you want to do anything to the net runner as you pass by
12:24
him? Nah.
12:25
I'll keep him. The van doesn't seem drivable.
12:30
So I'm going to leave. It's not 20.
12:32
Yes, you managed to climb your way through without cutting
12:35
yourself. You rolled high enough that
12:37
you're able to drip some of your sanitizer on one of the open
12:40
wounds on this net runner, and it stings a little bit.
12:45
This is why I like being behind a desk.
12:48
And as you climb through, you can see these tombs here in this
12:51
back alley kind of gather themselves a little bit and
12:54
stand up. Motherfucker, this was meant to
12:58
just be an easy in and out fuck. Same for us buddy, but you had
13:03
to make it complicated. I told you, you can't kill Dave.
13:07
Roll for initiative folks. Welcome to dungeons and
13:19
randomness. Since 2012, myself and an
13:22
amazing cast of 18 have been telling stories in our home brew
13:25
world of Theria. Four different groups explore
13:28
lost ruins, run for political office, Rage Against a mad king,
13:33
set sail to long forgotten islands, and so much more.
13:37
Every group has a different story and flavor, and every
13:40
season or ark has a new set of groups and stories all building
13:44
the history of our world with every single session.
13:48
Literally hundreds of hours of stories are waiting for you as
13:51
part of the Pick X network. Check out Dungeons and
13:54
Randomness wherever you get your podcasts and we'll see you
13:57
around the table. Phoebe, you are first to act.
14:05
Yes, I am. I'm gonna fire.
14:09
I'm gonna shoot at the first gonk that I see and pull out my
14:16
San Rue. Hello cutie.
14:17
Ultra K8 assault pistol. Nice.
14:20
And switch it. To the.
14:23
Auto fire? Really.
14:26
Yes. And I'm gonna fire away.
14:28
Oh yeah. Right.
14:35
Yes, good. Why is that so high on DVS?
14:39
The. DV is higher on auto fire
14:41
because it's harder to aim. Yes, absolutely.
14:44
It's it's kind of as a heavy SMG when it's in auto fire mode
14:48
that's why. OK, yeah, because the auto those
14:51
numbers feel mean, but OK, well. That's yeah, you have to hit 17
14:55
on auto fire. Yeah.
14:57
But you hit 18 which means you get times 2 damage which is
15:00
great. So VV you fire a barrage of
15:05
bullets. Oh.
15:09
Yeah, and they rattle off through this guy causing 8
15:12
damage at close range. That sounds like it hurt.
15:22
Yes. Ow.
15:24
Fuck. And that's all.
15:27
Do you do anything else with this moment?
15:30
You know, I'm pretty exposed. So I'm going to like move toward
15:35
Vanna White and use Vanna White as a bit of some cover, like
15:40
lean up against the vehicle. Anyone who can directly see you
15:44
can shoot you. But now that you're behind
15:46
cover, Synapse and one of the other gang members can't get a
15:49
good shot on you. Nice, cool.
15:52
Well, I got two options here. I can keep using my my big old
15:57
van as a weapon, or I can lean out in the window and shoot this
16:04
poor, poor man that thinks that he can kill my friend's former
16:10
employer so we're going to shoot him.
16:14
Now if I could just Scroll down and you.
16:17
Don't want to commit vehicular manslaughter?
16:20
No vehicular manslaughter be too easy.
16:23
Too easy. So I'm going to lean out the
16:27
window of Vanna Wyatt, take out Grand Pappy's twin Colt 40
16:31
fives, and I'm going to take two shots at Sinister Sin.
16:36
Synapse. Synapse.
16:38
That's his name. You don't know Mike.
16:41
And as he's saying that, two more bullets fire out towards
16:45
him. You roll a 23 and a 25 and you
16:48
watch him look at you as the bullets fly and you see him
16:55
attempt to dodge. He can certainly attempt.
16:59
The first bullet hits him, the second one flies.
17:02
Robi, Oh. Quick one, aren't we?
17:07
You fucker and. He takes, he takes a little
17:09
damage. Ow, you hit me with a bullet.
17:13
How rude. Yeah.
17:16
Are you OK? You seem like upset.
17:21
I don't like it when people encroach on my job.
17:24
Dick. OK.
17:26
All right. And you're still in the van.
17:29
Do you want to change that? No.
17:31
Cool, Iona, you're inside the morgue.
17:36
Sure am. I am going to just like I had
17:42
planned. I'm going to run to the back
17:45
door that I know is here because I have been in here before and
17:49
I'm going to surprise motherfuckers.
17:52
I can't. I can't move them.
17:53
But I'm I'm coming through that door and I'm shooting.
17:56
Right. You come out the back door now
17:58
behind a bunch of gangers. Do you?
18:01
Are you shooting? Are you throwing a grenade?
18:03
What are you doing? Do I have a grenade?
18:05
Let's check. I don't.
18:11
I believe you got a smoke grenade at the chop shop because
18:14
I just listened to that. Episode I just, I I didn't put,
18:17
I didn't put one. I did put it in my inventory
18:19
though. Yeah, sure, I will throw a smoke
18:23
grenade. Sure.
18:25
Sure. I've never I don't know how to
18:28
use grenades. How do I use grenades?
18:32
Never mind. I don't know how to use it.
18:33
I'm going to shoot them. I'm.
18:35
Going to shoot them Ayona, you pull out this grenade and you
18:37
look at it and you're like I don't how does do I put the pin
18:39
or. That, but I've never I've never
18:42
heard you do anything more Jeb. And you and you pull your your
18:49
gun out instead as you put the grenade back and you shoot,
18:53
assuming the guy who's closest to you.
18:56
I am going to use the R.E.M. Ware IP edition handgun and
19:02
following Vivi's SMG lead I'm also going to turn mine to auto
19:07
fire. Oh shit.
19:10
I'm going to spray and pray. You ain't messing around
19:14
tonight. Oh.
19:15
Not that one, that one. That was just to scale them.
19:18
Your bullets fly past the back of this guy.
19:23
It is a surprise attack, so you do get wait.
19:29
Plus 3 + 4. Well, The thing is Jade is you
19:32
have to remember earlier in the last episode I gave a different
19:36
character +4 for attacking you from the back.
19:39
So true. So to be fair it to be a fair
19:43
GM, I have to give you the same bonus, correct?
19:46
Yeah, get freaking get modified punch.
19:51
Well, the the the mentality of anything the players can do that
19:54
the enemies can do and vice versa, right?
19:56
Yeah. Right, well then you get maximum
19:58
modifier which is times 3 there. You go.
20:01
On that gun it's times 3 because it says it right there 5 * 3 and
20:04
so you get 4. Just 12. 12 damage to this guy,
20:07
that's a lot of damage. Well good, have have another.
20:14
And this guy falls below half health.
20:17
The one of the bullets goes straight through his elbow and
20:19
his arm turns backwards. Damn fuck Oh boss, these guys
20:25
can shoot. Barely.
20:28
Nobody hurts my boss. I'm.
20:30
Going to duck back into the. Fucking when we hurts my boss.
20:34
Nobody hurts my boss. Says Vendel.
20:37
Vendel is going to climb onto the on top of Vanna White and
20:40
take a running leap at Synapse. Of course they are, all right,
20:44
Vendel has to roll athletics to jump off the top of Vanna White
20:47
and the other van or their cyber leg.
20:49
Up to you, Sure. Sure, sure, sure, sure, sure.
20:59
Where we at? No, I don't like that.
21:00
OK, Aya. Aya.
21:01
Power Leg 23. Yes, do a cool flip skate off
21:06
the top and do a little grind on one of the sides of Banner White
21:10
Jeb, you're mildly concerned, but they're rolled high enough
21:12
not to cause any scuffing. Landing on the other side right
21:15
in front of Synapse. What do they do to attack?
21:18
Are they kicking? Are they slicing?
21:19
Are they punching? What's?
21:20
Happening. Oh yeah, I was, I was planning
21:22
on doing like a a straight face kick jump off of Vandal with
21:26
Vandal. White roller blade foot directly
21:29
into Synapse's face. Nice, right, Rob Rolling.
21:34
Rolling, rolling. Pendel gets a bonus to brawling
21:36
because there are so long. More like brawling in my MRA. 22
21:43
That is excellent, excellent work.
21:46
Synapse tries to dodge. Sidesteps it.
21:53
Vendel roll high enough that they don't fall over anything,
21:55
they just smack into the ground where Synapse was and the
22:01
concrete below where they step cracks in a really cool way and
22:05
it intimidates the other crew as they all instinctively take a
22:09
step back. Oh fuck.
22:11
And it's a melee attack, so Bendel gets to attack again.
22:14
Oh yeah. Get.
22:17
Get. Fucking get.
22:21
Fucking power late 28. No, Jesus, damn that.
22:29
Bendel is protected. Wow you're old.
22:31
Really bad on damage dude actually wow.
22:40
Then Del kicks Synapse really hard and they get pushed back
22:44
even further. Yeah, that's right.
22:45
Take that. You think that hurt?
22:48
Didn't look like it hurt but my flip was really cool so I
22:51
honestly don't care. One of the It's the end of that
22:55
interaction. One of the gangers pulls out his
22:59
gun and starts to shoot. Oh mate, oh mate, that is a crit
23:06
success at 30. Jesus Christ Ward.
23:12
At least it wasn't on the. Band and they and they shoot
23:14
Vendel, which sucks. Vendel has a reflex of overrate,
23:17
so they have to roll evasion we. Can get above that 30 evasion.
23:24
Well, they have to roll a crit. Evasion please crit.
23:30
Nope. Please create.
23:32
Vendel's armor gets a bladed by 1 and that's it.
23:36
Oh and they take one down. Fuck.
23:38
The zealot looks at his gun. Fuck we need better hardware
23:41
boss. One of the other gangers, the
23:43
one who's been shot the most, now can't use like A2 handed
23:47
weapon because one of his arms has gone all floppy.
23:50
But all the same, he takes a shot at Jeb through the window.
23:54
Yeah, Jake. Oh Jeb, you are you.
23:57
You get a -, 1 to evasion because you are sitting in a
23:59
vehicle, but you have to roll over 28.
24:01
Well, you know, I've dealt with worse, but I still can't find
24:08
where. Fighting.
24:11
Fighting, there it is. She has.
24:12
Fighting, it's fighting. There it is.
24:13
Oh no, no, I'm sorry. You get hit.
24:16
You get hit for 12 damage with your crit fail.
24:19
Not only is there a bullet hole through the windscreen of Anna
24:22
White, it also shatters into a million pieces.
24:24
You're going to have to get it replaced.
24:28
Oh, right in the eyeball. Right in the Oh, geez, oh, it's
24:32
going to be too tough. Oh, there, someone's gonna ever
24:36
take this out of my eyeball? V You're you're standing right
24:39
next to Jeb and the windows open and part of the glass flies past
24:43
you. You don't get hurt, but you see
24:44
Jeb get really cut up. There's lots of cuts all over
24:46
his face. Oh, Jeb, that that's looking
24:50
pretty bad, Retro. You see this carnage and you
24:53
decide to take action. Yeah, I'm going to pull out an
24:57
old chestnut we haven't used in a very, very long time.
25:02
Oh God. Retro's going to climb back into
25:05
the van. Retro's going to get in the
25:06
turret and operate the machine gun we have up there.
25:10
OK, that's genius. I'd completely forgotten about
25:12
that thing. As the turret raises up, going
25:18
to spin it directly towards Synapse.
25:24
I didn't realize we were having a Dick measuring contest.
25:26
Mine's always bigger and I shoot him.
25:29
The old diamond machine gun. Can I auto fire it because I'm
25:33
it's a machine gun? It has auto fire yes, but if
25:36
you're all crit fail it's out of action for a full time.
25:39
Got it. You put your hands on either
25:42
side of this mini gun, you point it at Synapse and you pull the
25:45
trigger. Damn.
25:48
Damn boy bullets RIP past Vendel as they fill this guy you
25:55
rolled. What is the what is the auto
25:57
fire of this gun? Four shit you did 19 damage.
26:01
Bullets fly out and they fill Synapse as he gets fairly badly
26:06
hit. Now, these are very big bullets.
26:09
They are mostly made out of diamond.
26:11
And so their armor piercing synapse starts to bleed
26:16
everywhere. Just bleed everywhere.
26:19
They go under half health. Phoebe, you hear the distinctive
26:22
noise of a spine cracking and he just falls.
26:28
And he's now sitting on the ground holding his mini gun.
26:32
Now the thing about that is he can probably still fire it from
26:34
the seated position, but he cannot move.
26:36
Yeah, he's, he's not getting back up properly.
26:41
Breaking backs out here. It is however his turn and he
26:46
turns to you now on the ground, covered in blood, his body at an
26:51
oblique angle as you can hear his spine crack and move as the
26:57
sinews try and reattach to each other in vain.
27:02
Fuck. And he pulls the mini gun
27:07
towards you. He points it at you in the tower
27:10
on the top of Vanna White. He pulls the trigger.
27:16
Oh. My God, it's getting crazy, you
27:22
guys. Now I will say retro, you are in
27:25
a little piece of armour, as it were.
27:28
So you may roll evasion, but you have to roll over 19, so I'd
27:36
recommend using luck. I will use three points of luck.
27:40
No fucking way. Oh, thank God.
27:45
I'm just gonna, I'm just gonna pull a full Shaggy and just go
27:49
road and dive back down. So you dive back into the van,
27:53
the bullets miss you, but Synapse pulls the gun down to
27:56
follow you in and it just fills the side of Anna White with
28:00
bullets. Just an absolute Dick load and
28:04
the the actual damage that you would have taken is now taken by
28:08
the vehicle you're sitting in and it takes the full brand of
28:12
that damage. 26 Now Jeb, I need you to roll evasion purely for
28:19
narrative purposes. OK Jeb, you are really happy
28:25
after the bullet stopped firing to not hear the hiss of a tire?
28:30
Oh jeez. Well, you know, my my eyesight
28:34
might be partially gone, but my my hearing is great and I don't
28:37
hear no problems with them tires.
28:40
Those brand new white wall delicious tires fire.
28:44
The the sexy ones. Hey don't we just got those
28:46
tires replaced. Can you not shoot our van?
28:48
Yeah. They're nice.
28:50
Fuck you. Oh contraire Mister man, but
28:55
fuck you. Almond Prayer.
28:57
Avoid a 15. All right.
28:59
Nice bullet, flies right through the van, through the now broken
29:04
window on the other side and flies off into the distance,
29:06
narrowly missing you as you tilt your head in a cool way.
29:09
Fuck. Wow, that was that was really
29:12
good. Oh yeah, I don't need depth from
29:14
having to see pointing a gun at me.
29:16
I'll shoot at the one that just shot it, Jeb, because they're
29:19
closer to me. Cool.
29:23
Fire away. Oh.
29:26
Oh all. Right.
29:27
They don't have an evasion of over of over 8, so they can't
29:29
dodge bullets. You you walk up to this guy, you
29:32
pull out your gun, you fire this thing and it just blasts right
29:39
into him causing Oh, you did auto fire.
29:43
I did. Oh dear, Oh dear, Oh dear.
29:47
Well, you see, it's a crit. You created an auto fire, Tracy.
29:51
Oh God, I'm going to annihilate this.
29:56
You're just going to kill this guy because I know normally auto
30:00
fire has a maximum, but you rolled a crit so I'm going to
30:03
say for this it doesn't and you rolled.
30:10
So for real, it's 17 to hit this guy.
30:13
You're old 30, which means it's times 13.
30:17
Oh my God. Just just just for fun.
30:20
That's plus 4I mean that's. 52 damage.
30:25
You hit a piece of cyberwear on this guy.
30:27
It fries his whole body, ignites in flames and he starts running.
30:30
What? The fuck?
30:34
And then something on the side of his neck, another piece of
30:36
cyberware explodes, and he just stops dead on fire and falls to
30:40
the ground dead. Bebe looks a little shocked at
30:46
what she just did. Did you see that, Jeff?
30:50
Honestly, only half. OK, good.
30:55
Well, I'm just trying to catch up to the whole body count
30:59
thing, so you know. Oh yeah, I'll count that.
31:03
Absolutely. What do you know?
31:04
Like 8? Hell yeah.
31:06
Also, holy shit yeah. OK, well that's my turn.
31:11
I gave it a 6.5 out of 10 on the creative scale.
31:14
You're blind, retro. That was like a nine.
31:18
Fuck. Oh, shit.
31:19
What I miss. I was, I was.
31:21
I was trying to take this piece of glass out my eyeball.
31:24
Geez. OK.
31:27
I'll fix that later. I appreciate that now now y'all
31:30
at home listening Might think that me spoon is doing a bit but
31:36
I literally cannot remember the name of this guy.
31:39
So ventriloquist man. What's vin?
31:42
Vinny's. Synapse.
31:43
Synapse. Synapse syndrome over here.
31:52
My name is Synapse, motherfucker.
31:54
All right. That that that goes to the
31:55
party. We do that a lot.
31:58
All right, hold, just stand still so I can shoot you easier
32:01
and then I shoot him you. Ain't got just saying this to a
32:04
man who can't stand currently. Yeah, great.
32:07
Now you're doing. You're doing great.
32:08
Hitting him with a 26, he can't move, so he gets a -, 2 to his
32:14
evasion role right here, but he still gets one because he does
32:16
have a high reflex. No, not good enough.
32:19
Nope, Nope. You you hit him with both of
32:21
those bullets, causing nine and six damage respectively.
32:26
The first bullet blows off a piece of his armor and you
32:28
notice he doesn't really take a lot of damage from that, but the
32:31
other bullet really, really does cause a decent amount of damage
32:35
and you can see him start to bleed all over the ground.
32:37
Oh fuck, I thought it was maybe my big break but this might be
32:40
my end guys. That's the end of Jeb's term,
32:45
Iona, you're still inside the morgue.
32:48
Sure. Am.
32:50
They sound like they've got it handled out there?
32:52
Yeah. Or is everyone still screaming?
32:55
Everyone, there's a lot of screaming.
32:56
You just saw a through the corner of the door and you saw a
32:58
Man on Fire like run into your view, scream and then die.
33:03
And then you heard VB go oh shit, essentially.
33:08
Yeah, well, through the the window on this door, I can still
33:11
see there are people standing. So I'm going to do it again, but
33:14
better step out the door and fire away.
33:19
Take that. That 20 Are you shooting the
33:21
person closest to you? You.
33:22
Sure, I'm there it is. That's auto fire you guys,
33:26
that's. You.
33:28
Guys, we just it's like we just found out about auto fire today.
33:32
It's. Like it does cost 1010 ammo
33:35
every time you do it so you are getting low, so make sure you're
33:38
deducting the auto fire Tracy and VV the am I after that yes
33:43
good call. You will have to refill that
33:45
good call, but that's still that's still that's still very
33:49
high and you didn't roll a crit. So you get times 3 damage on
33:54
that attack that causes 21 damage to this guy.
33:59
He he turns to you as he hears the the gun cock and as the
34:04
bullets fly out towards him. His eyes go wide as several of
34:07
them go through his mouth as he starts to try and say something.
34:12
Unfortunately, it is not enough and he dies right there standing
34:17
as part of his head gets blown out the back.
34:20
Yeah, eat lead idiot. And Iona, there's this really
34:25
cool moment where you pull the gun to your face, you blow the
34:28
smoke off the top. Wow, that was really cool.
34:32
Should I? Thank you.
34:34
Should I slice this guy in the face?
34:36
Oh, yeah, absolutely. OK, hey, back in.
34:39
But you, you do that syndrome Cicadia.
34:44
I can't, yeah, I can't do. I don't know, man.
34:47
It it honestly doesn't really matter.
34:48
You're not going to come back because you're about to be dead.
34:50
Hey. Yeah.
34:51
Oh fuck I. Remember now, it was syndrome.
34:55
It's not it. I don't think it's any of those,
34:57
man. I'm I'm really sorry, guy.
34:59
I'm really sorry. And Vendel grabs this guy's big
35:02
wig. He's got this big green wig.
35:04
He he looks up at Vendel. No.
35:07
And Vendel slices across their neck, execution style.
35:12
Blood spatters out across the concrete as more blood spurts
35:16
out of his neck and he you, you see Synapse buckle over even
35:20
more on his knees. He drops his big mini gun and he
35:23
looks up at Vendel and Synapse reaches into his jacket and
35:31
pulls out a little stick with a button on it.
35:35
Fuck. And he pushes the button.
35:39
You hear a beeping. Oh oh fuck.
35:42
Run. Run.
35:44
Vendel has to roll evasion. Oh yeah, yeah.
35:48
Oh, no luck you got. Vendel has two luck all
35:51
together, so they're going to use.
35:55
Cool, do it. Oh did I scroll past it?
35:59
I did so 18. So 18 Synapse explodes, his body
36:05
explodes, blood goes everywhere, covers the side of the van and
36:08
this last ganger is standing at the back of this lot and he just
36:11
drops his gun and puts his hand up.
36:13
I. Didn't know he was going to do
36:15
that. Now hold on, were you were you
36:19
going to kill Dave? If if my boss said so, but now
36:23
no. Yeah, it seems as if your boss
36:26
was recalled by Willy Wonka. Well, he's a piece.
36:30
I, I, oh, oh, there's a piece of him on me.
36:33
Oh, can I just take our net runner and go I?
36:40
Don't know, what do you guys think?
36:43
For everyone who wants to let him go with the net runner, say
36:46
aye. Oh.
36:50
Bummer dude. Oh, I voted too late.
36:55
Whoa. Jeff.
36:55
Jeff. Jeff.
36:56
Jeff. Jeff, Jeff, Jeff.
36:58
We, we voted. We did vote.
37:01
However, may I make another suggestion?
37:05
We, we're planning on doing this quietly.
37:08
Obviously it's not so. No, you're right.
37:10
I'm sorry. I'm sorry.
37:11
VV, did you want to take this one to, you know, up the count?
37:15
No, not what I meant. Oh.
37:17
That's all you're going to say? OK, sorry.
37:18
Go ahead. We need somebody else for them
37:22
to go searching for instead of us.
37:23
Now they make the break, they we leave evidence that they did it.
37:27
We're off the hook. I.
37:28
Mean you could you could blame him because.
37:32
He's not bad. Thing went wrong, they back.
37:35
They backstabbed their boss, blew him up, ran away.
37:38
Yeah. I didn't know my boss was going
37:41
to explode. That's new.
37:44
This is like the 4th gang I've been in.
37:46
I'm worried to ask what happened with the others.
37:50
Well, the first two fell apart because, you know, scheduling.
37:53
Yeah, just trying. It's it's like ELF online down
37:56
here. So anyways, you better get your
37:59
friend because I'm you guessing you got 20 seconds before it
38:02
clicks in Jeb's brain and he doesn't anyways, OK.
38:06
James True. Oh.
38:08
My God, James is OK and he's. Pulling this guy out of the van.
38:12
James. No.
38:17
Before you leave, MP all your pockets.
38:19
Fuck, really? All of it.
38:22
Duke Chimp, just between you and me, can I keep my shitty gun
38:25
that you don't actually want? It's just a piece of shit.
38:28
Sure, they'll take all the bullets out of it first.
38:30
Thank God damn it can I just can I have at least like a magazine
38:35
use? Your words.
38:36
May I please have a magazine? No, I mean literally use your
38:39
words. You're at 10-9.
38:42
Hey Jeb, don't get that look in your eye.
38:46
He he unpulls the clip from his gun and he looks at you.
38:50
Roll Persuasion. Wait, do I think he's actually
38:52
going to try to shoot me? You'd have to roll human
38:54
perception to guess that. I'd like to do that then, right?
38:57
Interception. Here we are. 14 You feel the
39:00
coward energy from this guy. This guy genuinely just wants to
39:03
leave and live. Coward energy?
39:05
I don't know. OK.
39:09
I can keep the clip. Or.
39:10
Yeah. Oh.
39:11
He puts the clip back in. Thanks Jim, but but here.
39:15
And he pulls like a handful of cash from his pocket.
39:18
It's like 92 eddies. Yeah, that's all I got.
39:21
Everything I need, I need your, I need the wallet, your ID, all
39:25
that stuff. Come on.
39:25
Fuck. And he pulls out this folded
39:29
piece of paper with a Eddie card on it and a fake ID that is not
39:34
his. Thank you.
39:36
The Eddie card has two eddies on it.
39:37
It is useless. Yeah.
39:39
This is all Come on, James, go. And he drags James out of here,
39:44
carrying him out of here, and combat is over all.
39:48
Right, I want to loot the other bodies.
39:51
All right. Romy Everything on the guy with
39:56
the the guy who exploded is destroyed.
39:59
He has nothing. That chicks out.
40:01
What about the big gun? It is also destroyed because he
40:04
exploded. I want it though.
40:06
Sure. You get that.
40:08
I want as you're, as you're getting through, as you're like
40:10
going through the gun. You find 84 scrap in total.
40:14
It's a lot for one gun scrap. No, I want the gun.
40:18
I want the gun as a whole. Sorry, can I just have the gun
40:19
as a whole even though it's broken?
40:20
Yes, but it counts as 84 scrap. OK.
40:23
Yeah, after looting the rest of the guys you find 87 eddies.
40:28
And but I found other identification and stuff.
40:30
Yeah, you find fake IDs on everyone.
40:32
You guys were watching Retro just meticulously going through
40:35
each of these bodies. Help me.
40:37
Help me drag these bodies. Come on, guys, come on.
40:38
I'm gonna try to put all the bodies that are not exploded in
40:41
the van that got smashed into the side of the wall, OK?
40:44
The the two guys that were out here, you, you put them in the
40:48
van, their bodies are ruined. One of them was on fire, the
40:50
other one is full of bullets. They are.
40:53
Their cyberware is subpar at best.
40:57
You've salvage everything you can from them.
40:58
Oh, no, I just, I want to place them in there.
41:01
I want to, I'm going to put all their identification back in
41:04
their pockets. I'm going to stash the one that
41:06
I took off the other guy in the seats in the back of the other
41:10
one. So it seems as if that person
41:11
was here, but they're going to be the one that's missing and
41:14
then I'm going to. Oh, and the other thing you find
41:16
is the the green wig which. Blew off that guy.
41:19
That's a green wig. Can say that that's fine.
41:23
That's evidence. All right, everybody shoot the
41:26
front of the van. That guy's fan, not Van of
41:29
White. Vandel is up in the the mini
41:31
gun. With this.
41:33
You know what? Yeah, go ahead.
41:34
Just use the mini gun. Vandel's up in the the Mini Gun
41:43
17. Yeah, they fill the side of the
41:45
van full of bullets and it gets even more broken.
41:48
All right, So if anything it'll at least slow any pull NCPD
41:54
investigation, so it won't be immediately tracked back to us
41:58
are. You guys coming in or, or am I
42:00
looking at these bodies by myself?
42:03
Let me just go ahead and put Vander Wyatt back to park and
42:08
I'll meet you inside. Jeb goes to park the van And did
42:12
the rest of you go inside? Yeah.
42:14
Yes, all right, it. Was a, it was a, it was a pretty
42:19
interesting encounter, you know? Yeah.
42:25
I thought they were going to want a deal but I guess we only
42:28
dealt in LED. Well it well here we're dealing
42:32
with the dead. Rachel, you're, you're looking
42:36
OK, right? Yeah.
42:37
You didn't take all that severe damage from that attack.
42:41
Only Jeb was injured. Oh no, yeah, no, I groundhogged
42:44
the shit out of that. OK, All right.
42:47
I'll have to patch up Jeb. Thank you.
42:49
Jeb, your eyes looking Pretty Little funky.
42:53
Yeah, there's a there's a wedge of glass in my eyeball.
42:59
Yeah, you might. Should we just deal with that
43:02
real quick? Well, because I don't think you
43:05
should leave that there. That would be great.
43:07
Is this still recording? Yeah, really.
43:09
Why don't you, why don't you go ahead and deal with that?
43:12
Yes, Jeb, just hold still for a moment and I'm going to pull
43:17
that glass Shard out of your eye.
43:20
Oh. Oh, I can.
43:21
Oh, I feel it. I feel it in my eyeball moment.
43:24
Oh oh. It's weird because your eye
43:27
doesn't really hurt, right? It's just like that weird
43:29
pressure release. It's it's real weird and I don't
43:32
like it one, one time a little bit.
43:35
It's the it's the irritation around the eye, because the eye.
43:37
It's Jeff Roll. Resist torture drugs.
43:40
Oh, should have given him a little pain remedy.
43:45
Yeah. Bebe, as you're pulling this
43:48
piece of glass out, you've. You've known Jeb for a long
43:52
time, and you'll never get used to the sound and the look of his
43:56
skin healing. There's a bunch of tiny glass
43:59
cuts on his forehead. And as you're pulling out this
44:02
thing, you can see him sort of like, drink a little bit of his
44:06
blood that slips into his mouth, and the pieces of glass start to
44:09
push out of his forehead. It's not a comfortable
44:11
experience for Jeb, but you hear them clink and clank as they hit
44:16
the floor of the morgue, as they echo through this silent room.
44:19
Oh yeah, I can feel, oh, oh, it's like the Jelly of my eye is
44:23
like gooping out, opens down, sucking back in.
44:27
Man, that's so weird. I never, I'm going to get used
44:30
to that, even for me, a doctor. And and I never will either as a
44:39
lab experiment. And Jeb, because of your crit
44:41
success, you gain 5HP back. Well, Jeb's all good, everybody.
44:47
I'm. Good.
44:49
Let's look for the body that we want.
44:53
And in the distance, at the very back of the room, you can hear
44:57
coming towards the door the sound of hold music.
45:01
You can hear Doctor Dave on the other side.
45:03
How long am I going to be on hold?
45:06
This door's been locked. Wait, why is the door unlocked?
45:12
I didn't hear. Any of that shit outside a A a.
45:16
A A A girl from the Venema is very loud.
45:19
He's got a noise cancelling headphones.
45:24
Everybody pretend you're dead bodies.
45:29
Jeb just falls face first onto the ground.
45:33
Now Jeb on a Gurney. In a body bag retro, you jump
45:40
into a locker. Are are these tables?
45:44
Do these tables have space under them?
45:47
Yes. I I'm going to slide under this
45:50
one. Man to like Outlast, the creepy
45:53
horror game where you have to hide under the hospital beds and
45:58
you all hide in the morgue as the door to the South opens.
46:05
Nobody here but instead people. Next time on no latency.
46:25
There are two giant holes. It smells like expired Axe body
46:28
spray in here. The bodies, right, Right.
46:30
Vivi. Yes, they're where the dead
46:32
bodies go. Well, Doctor Dave has his back
46:34
turned. Go up behind Doctor Dave.
46:36
The what? Right Synapse.
46:39
Yeah, talk. Normally it.
46:41
Sure is. I'm just going to continue to
46:44
hold this down. Not broken window.
46:46
OK gang, throw him in a locker. I'm gonna kick him directly in
46:49
the genitals. Sorry, boss.
46:50
Yeah, that's good. This is really good.
46:53
This is as far as I got. Could some nobody helped?
46:55
Me, I don't know what I'm doing. Well, these would be the
46:58
freshest body. There's the one on the desk
47:00
that's right over here. Watermelon bubble gum drop.
47:03
Extra flesh. No, Jeb, you can't have the
47:06
skin. 2537 I. Don't know what a gallbladder is
47:09
It makes. Drinking harder?
47:10
It might make them a little faster.
47:11
You're right, I changed my vote. That one over there that smells
47:14
disgusting. I don't know what's going on in
47:16
that locker, but do not open it. Thank you for joining us on our
