0:02
Last time on no latency. So let's go ahead and just Bang
0:06
Bang. Nice.
0:07
Oh, it's bad. Well, I didn't sign up for this
0:08
casting couch. Oh, it's not good.
0:10
I'm trying to rule cool this as best I can you.
0:13
Can be more on fire than you were before and also be dead.
0:16
Have a slice. Nobody can hit you, Domino.
0:18
I know he's a grunt, but that cockiness is going to come back
0:21
to him so quick. See.
0:22
Thanks, I rolled the dash really good.
0:24
Good job Vendel. What a lazy bastard.
0:26
Oh. Dead right hand no.
0:30
He was just that close to death, all right.
0:31
Where the chiropractors? There's more where that came
0:34
from. You're welcome, because they.
0:35
'D be blowing outbacks. Whoa, Hell yeah.
0:38
Dominic No. That's not good.
0:39
Just to be clear, we are saying that you're not human.
0:42
I don't. Feel good about.
0:43
That sounded strangely comfortable.
0:45
Did we land on that? Oh shit, did he eat the Adam's
0:47
apple? That's not good.
1:06
Do you still think he's hot, baby?
1:13
I don't know how to answer that question, Ayanna.
1:15
That's. That's totally famous.
1:19
That that that itself is the answer.
1:23
I will say I am concerned this is like.
1:27
I am also concerned. We we should get this checked
1:31
out. It's like worse than jobs.
1:39
Well, I mean, yeah, I was going to say what's that supposed to
1:42
mean? But actually in this case, yeah.
1:46
Did I do something wrong? Technically yes you did.
1:53
I know in your mind you don't think it was wrong and we will
1:57
figure out how to fix that. But as Jeb shared earlier,
2:07
eating people is bad, so we will figure it out with how to
2:13
control these urges. And you see him pull his arms
2:21
back behind him and arch his back, and you hear the flesh
2:25
that was torn open on his back congeal back into its original
2:29
form and heal. The sound of a little bit of
2:34
blood mixes with the rainfall in the puddles below.
2:40
That's better. I'm sorry that you had to see
2:44
that. But healing was necessary.
2:47
Survival. Yeah, but did you have to?
2:52
You don't have to eat people to heal.
2:54
I mean, we have a doctor on call and I gesticulate over to VV.
3:02
Yes, yes, yes. V is having a lot of complicated
3:13
thoughts. Truly.
3:16
OK, you know what this is. This is a problem for later VV.
3:19
OK, right now we have a problem in front of us that we need to
3:24
figure out. And that is?
3:28
Getting in this building and I guess destroying it.
3:32
Well, there's there's a big hole in the wall where the car went
3:35
through. OK, let's.
3:38
And and then looks like the the window directly in front of us
3:42
is open and maybe the door over there as well.
3:45
I think we can get in. Yes, let's start with that
3:47
secret thing that I broke open. Well, what secret thing?
3:53
There was like a secret door or wall or something that I shot,
3:57
yeah. Yeah.
4:00
Oh, there. Yeah, that.
4:06
What do you do, Phoebe? I'm going to go in the window.
4:09
Call. You climb through the window.
4:11
I'm going. To climb through the window so.
4:12
So we're just looting now. We kind of, we came here, we
4:17
fucked their shit up. Now we're just going to.
4:18
I mean, were we just going to leave?
4:21
Metro's already. Been going through the the
4:23
pockets of bad boy and everybody else.
4:25
Isn't that what we were doing already?
4:28
You guys saying something? I wasn't paying attention.
4:30
I was trying to get everything out of these guys pockets.
4:36
Yes, we're going in the building.
4:40
And I'll be there in a second. OK, all right.
4:46
I'm heading through the window and I'm going to go through the
4:48
secret door. Anybody wants to follow or or go
4:51
other ways? Excellent.
4:54
You step into this room and as you step in you see a few crates
4:58
on the ground. There's some closed lockers on
5:00
the walls, some makeshift beds, and a dead body next to an
5:06
exploded car. Do you leave this room?
5:11
Yeah, OK. You're.
5:14
Going to step into the back room.
5:15
Yeah. You step into the backroom and
5:19
it is a storage room of sorts. Larger crates.
5:23
They seem to have some sort of pretty generic parts for
5:27
vehicles. It looks like one of the ways
5:29
they made money was chopping up vehicles and reselling them.
5:32
But as you step into the room, you step between 3 red barrels
5:37
full of chew. Oh, OK, well.
5:41
As you take another step into the room, you see that there are
5:43
also three dead bodies in here. Oh.
5:48
Back here. Whoa.
5:50
Well, that's good for Vanna White, but that are these bodies
5:57
maelstrom or just OK? If you want to know more, you'll
6:01
have to examine them. I will take a look 1 moment.
6:08
Then, though, we should also go inside.
6:09
It is raining and I, I don't, I don't want to be near the the
6:15
body that you squished with your feet anymore.
6:19
I'm going to wash my foot in this puddle over here and then
6:22
I'll come in. Perfect.
6:23
Awesome. Should I, should I wet my feet
6:25
before I step through the broken window or afterwards?
6:28
Before, please. OK, that's fine.
6:31
And then Dell does a little clean, a little shuffle in the
6:34
rain, and steps in, shaking off the water.
6:41
There's some close lockers in here.
6:43
There's a dead guy over there. I've I just Jeb and Vivi are
6:49
doing a thing in the in what is apparently a secret room, so I
6:52
just can't be out of the rain. Fair enough.
6:55
I wonder what they're up to. Just examining.
7:02
Just examining some dead bodies. Yeah, you did You kill these
7:08
people like real quick before I got here or?
7:13
As you can see and I analyzed it.
7:16
Cool. They died of a broken heart.
7:41
Well, no. The the guy in the back, though,
7:43
you're old and 18. The guy in the back though, his
7:45
face is very, very familiar. As you can see, Jeb, they've
7:52
been dead for like over a week, which is pretty messed up.
7:56
Who's that guy? This.
7:58
Guy in the back, really familiar, recognize his face
8:02
from somewhere, but he just he can't quite pin it.
8:06
Jeb, do you recognize this person?
8:09
What is something? Something looks familiar to that
8:15
about them. Let's see.
8:18
I'm going to try to roll something to see if he
8:23
concentrates with all of her brain to try to see if she can
8:27
recognize the spades. You find a medical tag bracelet
8:33
around one of his legs. Jeb, you rolled an 800 duction.
8:40
You're fairly certain. Is it that guy?
8:45
It's a banana. I think he's part of the banana
8:52
crew. You ever heard of them?
8:54
He's got a banana tattoo. Hold on, I'm going to take a
8:59
closer look you. Must be part of the bananas.
9:04
Ruthless. Watch out and you'll slip up.
9:09
Boo. Also, is it, oh this guy,
9:15
Deckard Kane? Deckard.
9:19
Not Deckard Kane, but yes. Yeah, I remember this guy
9:23
because it's Harrison Ford. It's not the same guy.
9:28
Oh, but his face is familiar. What the heck?
9:34
This isn't the same. But his face is.
9:37
Is this a clone do? You want to scan and find out.
9:41
Yeah, Damon. Kane is from Diablo.
9:44
Yes, Decker Kane is from Diablo. I'm.
9:47
Thinking of Deckard. That was not his name.
9:50
Who's Rick Deckard? Rick Deckard.
9:52
Rick. Deckard from Blade Runner, That
9:54
art, that art is. Is is a homage.
9:58
Is. A homage to a Blade Runner that
10:01
Cyberpunk made anyway, sorry. 17 three you can.
10:06
Close your. Indication. 3/3.
10:09
Three months 'cause it's. Yeah, 'cause it's scan.
10:20
Can please? Park in DNA match doctor.
10:24
Glass. Now Vivi, if you remember your
10:28
adventure, the clone that you did find was the third one.
10:38
This is another clone. Does this say anything about
10:44
what clone number it is or anything like that?
10:49
You're old. High enough.
10:50
Yes, the label says 1. One on his eyelid.
10:53
So it's it's the it's the oldest of the ones that went missing.
10:59
Interesting. OK, well, the Maelstrom got a
11:04
hold of a clone, but they probably, they probably didn't
11:11
care. Like this, this, I don't know.
11:13
This doesn't look like they're Emma or anything.
11:19
So. I'm going to keep looking
11:21
around. Cool.
11:22
Yeah. Roll me a perception check in
11:25
this room. Perception 16 On the far left
11:29
wall, next to a crate, you see the indentation of a hidden
11:33
door. Oh, oh, there's another hidden
11:36
door behind you. Jeb, can you just go check that
11:40
little spot next to the crate there?
11:43
Oh, just right here. Yeah, I don't know, just like
11:48
push in or something, Push, push, push or pull just.
11:54
OK, I guess I'll push. Whoa.
11:58
Jeb, you enter into the main lobby of this building and there
12:00
are a bunch of lockers in here, some crates, and a scorched mark
12:05
on the ground where Domino's Rocket blasted into the room.
12:09
Yeah, I just kind of slipped right through.
12:12
Oh, there's a scorch mark down here where a rocket must have
12:15
hit. And one of their lockers is
12:20
completely destroyed and anything in it is completely
12:22
ruined. But there are other lockers in
12:27
here are. You looting Jeb?
12:32
Yeah, just just doing some looting.
12:35
I'm going to go check out what are these lockers?
12:40
Great, sure, roll me one D6 for each locker you want to look
12:45
through. First time officially using
12:47
these dice in the game. Woo Hoo. 3.
12:53
All right, you find 2 items. Oh.
12:55
OK. That one first, yeah.
12:57
You find 2 items in this locker. How many lockers are you looking
13:00
through? I'm gonna I well, I guess we'll
13:02
just keep going until I am satisfied.
13:06
Sure, you open up another locker.
13:08
Or five. And you got 5 and a six. 03
13:13

13:30
And here we go. Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa,
13:33
whoa. 9 items. Damn.
13:37
All right, I'm gonna have to make a note of all these.
13:40
What'd you find, Jeff? Well, I found a Med kit and a
13:47
cool magazine, which, you know, you you think I'm just saying
13:52
that it's a cool magazine. No, no, this magazine, it's
13:54
called Cool Magazine. Oh.
13:57
I've heard about that. It's about guns.
13:59
Yeah, because of the because the magazine have a gun.
14:02
Yeah, it just kind of does double duty there.
14:04
That word in that title. Nice.
14:08
I also found some armor piercing ammo.
14:12
A frag grenade. Oh man, I would.
14:14
I need that frag grenade. It's been a while since I had a
14:16
grenade, so I'm just going to go ahead and make a note of that
14:20
and oh, I'll find a baseball cap.
14:23
GS 69. Oh, I.
14:26
Don't know what GS stands for but I do know 69 cents.
14:29
Oh, was that? Gas station.
14:31
Gas station that we. Went to.
14:36
They have their own baseball caps, huh?
14:38
Wow, they're really leaning into the marketing I guess.
14:42
Well, you know, merch is a really important part of a
14:45
business plan. Not usually for gas stations,
14:49
but, you know, good on them. Oh.
14:52
You've got 2 copies of the magazine.
14:53
Jeb. Jeb.
14:56
All right. Yeah, for sure.
14:57

Oh, Oh yeah. Let me know how that goes.
15:03
Thanks man. Oh gosh, I'm gum.
15:06
Oh good 'cause I haven't brushed my teeth in a while.
15:12
I want a combat knife. Well, I'm gonna be honest, it's
15:14
not as nice as the combat shovels.
15:16
I'm gonna go ahead and just anyone wants a combat knife?
15:20
I'm good. OK, I'm gonna and some trank
15:24

And Jabba, all of the lockers in this room have now been
15:38
searched. Who?
15:42
All right, let's keep looking to see if there's anything else in
15:46
here. Vivi walk into what seemingly
15:49
was the office. Yeah.
15:51
Let's take a look at this office.
15:54
There's a shitty computer in here, A desk, there's a back
15:56
door, a door that leads to the South, a few windows, some
16:02
lockers. It's pretty generic in here.
16:05
I'll look in these lockers. Cool, roll me roll ME3D6 you get
16:12
6. Items.
16:14
OH. Oh OK, let's go.

16:32
In scenario MO, I can give this to Iona O25 eddies.
16:36
I'll take that. Trash.
16:40
And an empty can. Great.
16:45
Great. Well, at least I got a pack of
16:47
smokes. Could be worse, could be a
16:49
spitter. A what?
16:51
A. Spitter.
16:52
Yeah, you know, like if you're. Shaw people shoot tobacco.
16:58
Oh, that, yeah, that's what I was thinking too.
17:01
I see. No, you weren't.
17:04
OK, well, this place. No, you weren't.
17:12
This place looks pretty pretty boring to be honest.
17:19
Thanks, Tracy. This place kind.
17:23
Of a piece of. Shit.
17:26
This place right here. Do you walk out the South door?
17:31
Yeah, I'm gonna. All right, baby.
17:35
You walk out the South door and you're in this little courtyard.
17:37
To your left you see the purple van that was being worked on at
17:40
the beginning of the fight. To your right you see two more
17:43
barrels of choom, and to your S there's a door.
17:46
And crudely written on the door is the word jail.
17:51
Jail. Is this where the Maelstrom put
17:53
the baddies? The door is unlocked.
18:00
All right, let's head into jail. Wouldn't be the first?

19:05
PM West Coast time as part of Thera Thon.
19:07
Come check it out. And now back to the show, baby.
19:14
You step into this little outhouse room under a little
19:18
overcrop in the corner of the combat zone in Night City.
19:22
There are two sofas in here, three more lockers, and at the
19:25
very end of the room there's a big window and a locked door.
19:29
And inside the room you see two people, bound and blindfolded,
19:34
alive. Oh, I run back out to the door
19:42
and just yell. Hey, there's a couple of people
19:46
bound up and alive in here. Can somebody help me?
19:54
Who turns up? On there.
19:57
I'll go. Also it's locked so if somebody
20:03
can help with that. Wait, shit, where'd you go?
20:07
It's out. That's all splashed.
20:13
Prisoners. Oh.
20:16
Yeah, that's. Fortunate Retro.
20:18
Are you joining everyone? No.
20:22
OK. Are you looting?
20:24
Yeah, that's I, I was looting and I have I have a secondary
20:30
mission in in plan. OK cool romy, 2D6 to loot.
20:36
I'm hoping there's going to be something good on the big bosses
20:38
because nobody looted them. 2D. Six, you find two things.
20:47
Sanitizer and some incendiary ammo.
20:50
Man, these bosses whatever like. No, that was on the other body.
20:55
No, no, no, that was on the other bodies.
20:59
The the big boss had 870 eddies on him.
21:06
No one's around to see you take that money, so no one knows that
21:09
you have it. Bad Boy had 200 eddies on him.
21:12
That's good. That's that's a nice little nice
21:15
little hall. The big boss had a pretty
21:19
generic heavy melee weapon that you could take if you wanted to,
21:23
but it would it would take up a larger amount of your backpack
21:27
than normal and you'd have to leave in a weapon at home.
21:31
And then he's got his magnum opus Hellbringer, which is
21:34
heavily used and is very low quality.
21:36
If it ever misfires, it will break, but it also only has a
21:43
clip of three. But it shoots shotgun shells
21:46
from a handheld gun. Damn.
21:49
That's an exotic weapon I'll. Take that more of the call
21:52
again. The magnum opus Hellbringer.
21:55
Magnum opus Hellbringer I'm. Just.
21:58
Going to write that down somewhere do.
22:00
You want me to put it into your sheet?
22:02
Yeah, that'd be nice. Thank you.
22:03
No. Worries it's retro sheet.
22:06
There it is. There you go, and the only
22:12
weapon that is any better than the one that you already have on
22:17
Bad Boy is his rebar bat. He just has a generic assault
22:21
rifle otherwise. The.
22:22
Rebar. The rebar bat is a 3D6 melee
22:26
weapon. That's a rate of fire of two.
22:29
It's very crudely made, so it's just a baseball bat handle
22:33
welded to a piece of rebar. Diamond in the rough, I can make
22:37
it better. I can fix it.
22:40
It's about it's about how you use it and retro you go off to
22:44
finish your other task as you wade through the dead bodies out
22:48
here. Meanwhile, in the jail Vivi,
22:52
you're staring through a window at these two bound people.
22:57
Yes. Can somebody help me unlock this
23:02
thing? Oh yeah, I can help.
23:05
I'm pretty good at unlocking stuff.
23:09
Yeah. Jeb, you're standing in front of
23:13
a locked door. There is a pretty simple
23:17
computer next to it for locking, but it is a regular locking
23:19
mechanism with a wall lock. All right, well, give me a SEC.
23:29
I think I got a little lock pick in here somewhere on my keys.
23:34
Keys real. Quick.
23:35
Well, Foley. Foley, Foley, there it is, all
23:41
right. Whoa, pick pocket.
23:47
Oh shit, yeah, sorry. Pick pick lock.
23:50
Plus, I wanted to. Plus I wanted to roll my my my
23:53
physical dice. Right, your pick lock is a total
23:57
of 9, so you add 9 to your roll. So that is 15. 15 that meets a
24:08
difficult task. I'm going to say that's what
24:11
this is. 15 is literally a difficult task and the door
24:15
open. Oh, looks like, looks like these
24:18
poor souls ain't got a well, they don't.
24:22
They don't look too good, Doc. Yeah.
24:27
No, they're not. We have.
24:30
We have to help them. Yeah, let's.
24:37
I am going to untie them. OK.
24:45
Are you going to untie them one at a time or those at the same
24:48
time? One at a time.
24:50
So there are two guys in here, one that looks, yeah, the one
24:53
you're standing in front of looks a little bit more clean
24:57
cut. With your fairly, with your
25:02
experience in Night City, he comes across as a bit of an
25:04
exec. I'll start with the exec.
25:13
Wait, no, don't kill me. I just don't care.
25:17
Why are you here? What?
25:19
What's what happened? I I'm biotechnical executive.
25:24
Oh, they they tried to. Ransom me to the company they.
25:33
That'll never work. The Maelstrom they.
25:37
And Maelstrom tried to ransom. Role, Role.
25:39
Human perception. OK.
25:42
But because. I'm I own a real human
25:44
perception. Yes, real human perception
25:46
outside. The window do do do.
25:54
I'm waiting for Iona's. I don't remember where human
25:57
perception is. I only know where regular
25:59
perception is social. There it is.
26:02
Human perception insight for this I'm going to give you.
26:07
I'm going to give you plus one. I know you've already rolled,
26:12
but I'm going to give you plus one to add that role because you
26:15
are biotechnic. Can I?
26:17
I know this sounds silly. Can I use my inspiration?
26:24
It doesn't sound if. You're about to give it to me.
26:26
No, I was not about to give it to you.
26:27
Yes, you may know your inspiration, OK.
26:29
Great. I'm going to put I'm going.
26:34
To put my last. Three luck into it.
26:35
I know it's so my pet sounds like I'm doing it.
26:37
I'm doing it. No, no, it's fine.
26:39
Oh yeah. Sure, that brings it up to a 15.
26:42
15 is a difficult task. Yes.
26:44
You pass. Well done.
26:45
He's fucking lying. You actually know his name?
26:49
His name is Mark Zeiger, and he's known for having a lot of
26:53
debt. And he's lying.
26:58
He's lying. OK.
27:01
OK, well, I will deal with you in a moment.
27:08
He's also very hurt. I'm going to untie the other
27:12
guy. As you get closer to the other
27:16
guy, you do. In what order do you untie this
27:19
man? The mouth first.
27:22
Please look at me. I.
27:27
Don't know where I am, everything feels weird.
27:29
How did you get here? No, I was just taking a leak in
27:33
an alley and then. Hit over the head and.
27:36
I woke up in the operating theatre and then was in a tube
27:39
and then some guy stole me from a van and then they put a
27:42
blindfold on me. I don't know how long I've been
27:44
in a help. In a tube.
27:47
He's one of the clones. I'm one of the.
27:49
What? Nothing.
27:52
OK, he can't see you. Gang, I don't know what's going
28:02
on. There's two guys.
28:04
Do you guys hearing this, the maelstrom just keeping these
28:07
guys hostage? Well, one of them obviously I is
28:12
in debt to them, I am sure. So it makes sense to why he's in
28:16
here. But but you said that that's a
28:18
clone. Yeah, there's another.
28:22
There's another one of them dead in the other room.
28:26
Oh. No.
28:29
Do not, do not show him that. No, don't that.
28:32
That might freak him out. Yeah, I don't know what
28:38
Maelstrom is doing with all these guys.
28:42
Well, that, that one, I don't know.
28:46
This one is obvious. We, we, we could just cut him
28:49
loose. I don't think he's going to be
28:52
much harm to anyone. Are you trying to hide the fact
28:56
that you were saying you're going to cut him loose?
28:59
Yes, I I am still. Talking in, in, yeah.
29:02
And VV will like kind of return and talk and talk in low tones.
29:07
OK, you know what? We have radios.
29:09
We could probably say this over our radios into each other's
29:13
ears. So yes, I I do think that the
29:18
other one, you should just cut those.
29:20
Yes. Anyway, in in my ear.
29:21
What were you saying? But I.
29:27
Yeah, we could cut him loose. I guess we're dealing with the
29:34
maelstrom problem, so it doesn't really matter.
29:42
What about this Biotechnica guy? What do you want to do to?
29:45
Him. Oh, no, no, that's what I was
29:47
talking about. Oh.
29:48
He's not him loose. He's not Biotechnica.
29:52
Look at him. Oh, he didn't.
29:54
Get me Biotechnica, but he was lying about Biotechnica paying
29:58
no the the Biotechnica guy for sure.
30:01
We could cut him loose, but not until we transfer his debt to
30:04
us. Oh, OK.
30:10
I like that. That's what I'm.
30:11
Saying we've taken care of the maelstrom problem Mostly yes.
30:18
Which takes care of his problem mostly.
30:22
So he does need to repay us. Yes, OK, OK.
30:27
I I see where you're going here. If you could the two of you get
30:34
some money out of him, I think that you should be able to put
30:38
him on a hook somehow. I, however, don't think I should
30:42
be involved here. So Vendel and I are going to go
30:46
to Vanna White so that he doesn't recognize us.
30:50
But if you need help, we'll be on the radio.
30:52
We're on the radios. That makes remembered that we
30:55
have, yes. All right, noted.
30:57
Pretty smart. All right, good luck.
31:00
And I, owner and Vendel leave the building heading to
31:03
Banawhite. Who's the other guy?
31:08
Oh, Retro, The other guy is a clone of the Doctor.
31:16
What's his name again? That's that's Doctor Glass.
31:19
Doctor Glass. Who the hell is Doctor Glass?
31:23
He's a guy that I met a while ago.
31:28
Just a cat. Tell me it's another Chad
31:30
situation. No, he, we, I, I saw him last
31:36
month. Do you want patience records?
31:38
Yes. My brain is a bit fuzzy.
31:41
Confirmed patience Doctor Black, accessing patience notes,
31:47
emerges to Cyberwear. His blood is a.
31:52
Known cure in high school. My gosh.
31:54
To cybernetic rejection. Why?
31:57
Why? Why is?
31:58
Multiple internal organ replacement.
32:00
Still alive donors must be a genetic.
32:03
Match usually unwilling patient. Has done this many times.
32:08
Evidence. Massive internal scarring.
32:12
Observed in operating. Condition his.
32:14
Life probably saves thousands every.
32:17
Year observed in person March 26. 2049, Doctor.
32:23
Baby, you replaced his heart. This is the one I did surgery
32:27
on. Yes.
32:30
Oh, boy. All right.
32:35
You didn't hear any of that? It is a complicated story.
32:42
You could try and work out if you can somehow stabilize him to
32:45
give him more time by scanning him, but you know full well that
32:49
if you do nothing, this man will die fairly soon.
32:53
That's why the other guy died, right?
32:55
OK, so these guys like, Oh my gosh, it's very complicated.
32:59
Retro. Essentially.
33:00
There's this guy in Night City who's making clones to get body
33:05
parts because he has the cure or he thinks he has the cure.
33:14
To refresh my brain, this guy is a known cure.
33:19
In high circle to. Cybernetic rejection he thinks
33:23
he has this cure to cyber magnetic rejection and they
33:27
there's a bunch of clones out there where we collect the
33:31
harvest organs from them This guy yes this guy is not long for
33:37
this world because of the process it's honestly really
33:42
unfortunate I can. There's really nothing to.
33:46
Do for him. I was going to say not to be
33:50
cruel for kind of taken, but can't you give him a peaceful?
33:56
Out. If he wants it.
34:01
I could, yes, you're right, because I could try to give.
34:06
Him. Some secrets though from him
34:07
first, like make sure he tells you whatever the formula is for
34:12
whatever the cybernetic rejection thing is.
34:14
I don't know if he knows because I think only his original knows.
34:21
I don't think he has any idea what he is or his purpose.
34:26
It's I. Don't know what's going on.
34:27
It's very sad. I.
34:28
Work in a hot. Dog stand.
34:30
Exactly. The clone works at a hot dog
34:33
stand. What you just told me is not a
34:36
clone. What you just told me by that
34:38
description is gene therapy and is thus a mutant.
34:43
You've mutated their DNA. I didn't, but the whom, whom
34:47
stever did this? Yes, you're you're correct.
34:51
It's not a clone. I guess that's just like an
34:53
easier layman's term way of describing it for people who
34:56
don't understand. But yes, this was a person who
35:03
had a life and existed up until somebody grabbed him.
35:08
Is the maelstrom the one making these people?
35:11
No, they're not. They're not smart enough.
35:15
Are they the ones grabbing them to the people that you make
35:17
them? That's the thing, they are
35:19
grabbing them. If you can get a chance, I would
35:23
say we should probably take some of their DNA to see if we can
35:27
fuck fuck around and see what they're doing with it.
35:33
I mean, do we have the like lab materials and stuff to do that?
35:40
You can always ask what is. You've got Iona, they work at
35:44
Biotechnica, and I've also got the workshop.
35:49
What about Doctor Dave? True, true.
35:53
These are all. These are all options.
35:56
Look, if this person is a cure to that, I mean, I'm sorry to,
36:02
they've got to feel a little like Iona at this point, but
36:05
that's the money that can be made there.
36:10
And there could be a lot of things solved from this too.
36:16
Yes. So OK.
36:20
Are you suggesting retro? Maybe I take some of his DNA.
36:25
Yeah, just take a blood sample. I could do that.
36:32
You can. Do for saving him.
36:34
All right, baby. You step back into the room.
36:36
This man is still bound on the floor.
36:37
The executive is now sitting on the sofa.
36:40
Since you united him and breathing heavily, you can tell
36:43
with no check that he is quite hurt and would appreciate some
36:49
medical assistance, although he probably could hobble away.
36:53
The guy tied up on the ground, however, is not doing well.
37:00
Man, OK, I. Well.
37:07
Look buddy, I'm going to help you first.
37:10
I'm going to help you and I'm going to let you go all.
37:13
Right, so are you taking blood and scanning this guy?
37:16
I'm going to yeah, scan him, make it seem like I'm like
37:18
helping him and I am going to help him and then also going to
37:21
take his blood all. Right, roll me a medical check
37:23
and then something to draw blood carefully.
37:39
Oh excellent, with your 14 you draw the blood perfectly which
37:49
if you keep chilled well for a it will be viable for a few
37:54
months. It is a cure for cybernetic
37:59
rejection. You don't have that.
38:01
If you want to examine it and try and reverse engineer it,
38:04
it's probably very difficult because that doctor was really
38:06
smart. If he could reverse engineer it,
38:07
you probably would have done. But you still have that with
38:11
your 20 though. The thing you deduce with your
38:13
scanner is that there is a cure for this man.
38:17
Applying new data set to scan patient, alert current
38:21
prognosis. This fucker is going.
38:25
To. Die.
38:26
Possible cure for diagnosis? Patience.
38:29
Maybe save if given? Boarding classified Biotechnica
38:32
body. Fuel.
38:37
Bite. Hey Iona, I go in the earpiece.
38:45
Do you have anybody fuel bite? Next time on no latency.
39:05
Wait, wait. Made of.
39:06
That's the option. Or we could go back to the lab.
39:09
Well, I guess we don't really have a choice right now.
39:11
How much does facial reconstruction cost?
39:13
Give him the money. I'll just hold it for.
39:15
You a lot of problems that I can't help with because I'm a
39:18
doctor. Have you cured him yet?
39:19
No, not yet. Maybe give him an additional
39:21
2000. I'll pay you back.
39:23
You should probably. Do that.
39:24
It's a little nasty, but you'll be all right if.
39:26
That's not really your thing. This file.
39:28
This whole thing is really going to be a huge curse.
39:30
Here is in him somewhere so we could figure that out, right?
39:33
Neither option was good. I'm just saying how bad is this?
39:36
Well, if any of the three of you are on the brink of death, the.
39:39
Data is still a bit fragmented for me.
39:41
You could have been fun of this entire operation.
39:43
That's my metaphorical one, I mean.
39:44
It's learning. I'm sorry.
39:46
Oh. Shit, Windows Update again.
39:48
Checks out. Yep, that's where I thought we.
39:50
Were are we plug and play here or are we having to go through
39:52
soldering it? Wasn't me.
39:54
Load and they. Update and then they restart
39:56
themselves. OK, I think it's brilliant.
39:58
Is that brilliant? I can't tell.
40:00
Is that brilliant? Thank you listener once again
