  Last time on no latency. Are we going to get this whirly
• 0:06
  bird out of here? Or yeah, are we driving it out
• 0:08
  of here? Are we flying?
• 0:09
  It out don't have a vehicle to try and sport.
• 0:11
  So we're flying. So we're flying.
• 0:13
  Oh right, it only fits two people.
• 0:15
  Are you body shaming me just 'cause I'm curvaceous?
• 0:17
  Absolutely not just. 'Cause I have a massive rack and
• 0:21
  a dump truck. I'll fly with I.
• 0:23
  Am they're going to be up in the air with no traffic.
• 0:25
  They've never won a book race so.
• 0:27
  No, that this was a talent you had, Iona.
• 0:30
  All right, let's do this. I'm certainly willing to, you
• 0:33
  know, bite the bullet, go to this man's house and steal his
• 0:36
  things. Going to like fancy events,
• 0:39
  pretending where people were not.
• 0:41
  But when have we not split the group up in the last couple of
• 0:43
  missions? And it's gone fine so far.
• 0:46
  I mean, sometimes you just got to say it.
• 0:47
  I'm dooming us all. I'm great, now I'm going to get
• 1:01
  Nat ones on rule 20 all over again.
• 1:05
  Here we go. Well, I am, I am.
• 1:08
  You know I like galas. I mean, come on, we've, we've,
• 1:14
  it's pretty well set up of who's going to be going what.
• 1:18
  I always have to go to the gala. Because.
• 1:21
  You're a. Biotechnical, you know you got
• 1:25
  your. Shit together we switched.
• 1:27
  Right you go. No, you're right.
• 1:31
  You're right. I don't, I don't know the
• 1:32
  security tech as well as you do. I'm just.
• 1:34
  I'm just saying we could just switch.
• 1:36
  It up. Tired of being the face?
• 1:38
  Well. You know, sometimes.
• 1:40
  Sometimes you can you can do it. It does hurt to, you know,
• 1:45
  always have to be the go to for certain tasks, you know.
• 1:51
  It does. Are you?
• 1:51
  Are you are you projecting him? I'm just, I'm just, I'm relating
• 1:57
  to your current experience, Iona.
• 2:01
  Baby, do you not want to be the group?
• 2:04
  Do you not want to be the group doctor?
• 2:06
  No, no, I, I it actually does bring me genuine joy to help you
• 2:09
  all. Then maybe shut the fuck up.
• 2:13
  But when you say it like, hey, maybe you'd be more excited
• 2:17
  about it. I don't know, look.
• 2:19
  Look look, I can understand we all can have our doldrums from
• 2:23
  things being the same. I recently just felt it.
• 2:27
  Maybe we just need to go ahead and just, you know.
• 2:29
  All smoke weed together I mean. Smoking weed is not.
• 2:34
  But I was meaning like, do we need to get out of our comfort
• 2:37
  zones and like try something out?
• 2:38
  Like, you know what? Jeb and I can go to the gala,
• 2:42
  right? And then you too.
• 2:44
  No, no, I'm going. To sleep?
• 2:45
  That's a terrible. Idea I guess.
• 2:52
  Wouldn't it be fun? No, this is a one-of-a-kind
• 2:57
  item. This may be the only opportunity
• 3:01
  we have. You're.
• 3:02
  You're right. You're right.
• 3:05
  You're right. Hear me out.
• 3:07
  We do it. This.
• 3:09
  This time where no where where I go to the gala and Retro goes to
• 3:13
  the place with the thing, but on something less important we put
• 3:19
  on each other's hats. I'll be the tech.
• 3:22
  I'll be the fixer, not the fixer.
• 3:25
  I'll be the person who fixes things.
• 3:28
  Could I have your sword? Of course you're my boss.
• 3:30
  I'm not going to say no to you. You're great.
• 3:32
  You pay me. I've got like a really high,
• 3:34
  high loyalty score. Are you kidding me?
• 3:35
  I think it's like my last boss was an asshole.
• 3:38
  You're great. I don't even care about the
• 3:40
  mortal danger. You know what, guys?
• 3:41
  I love you all. All.
• 3:43
  Right. Wait, does that mean that I.
• 3:44
  Have a contact high, I'm going to go for a poo.
• 3:46
  I'll see you in a minute. Whoa, I was going to ask, does
• 3:48
  that mean that if I switch with Iona then then Vendel works with
• 3:52
  me for the night? Sure.
• 3:54
  I mean, I'm going to be Vendel and you're going to be Iona and
• 4:01
  Vivi is going to be you. Jeb is going to.
• 4:03
  Be the doctor. Jeb will be the.
• 4:04
  Doctor and. Vendel will be the cowboy.
• 4:08
  I'm just wondering which which kind of hat that I will be
• 4:11
  wearing. Who's me wearing my hat and what
• 4:14
  wear what hat am I well? You're you're not wearing a hat,
• 4:16
  you're wearing the doctor's coat.
• 4:18
  Ohh, OK, OK, OK. Little headband.
• 4:23
  Little headband with the little reflective thing on top.
• 4:27
  Ohh, that's nice. Yeah, yeah.
• 4:28
  I'm sorry. Very, very good.
• 4:32
  Weed, I look forward to experiencing it when I have a
• 4:35
  brain that. Hits all right domino we're.
• 4:40
  Getting to it, Domino we've. Worked so hard for you.
• 4:43
  Can't you just let us have a little fun?
• 4:47
  You know what your. Money doesn't buy happiness.
• 4:50
  It does. It buys a lot of things.
• 4:52
  Happiness. No.
• 4:53
  No, it buys things that bring happiness, not it makes you
• 4:57
  happy. I'm very happy and I have a lot
• 4:59
  of money. I mean, you don't seem very
• 5:01
  happy if you're wanting to switch roles with me.
• 5:03
  I'm just having fun. You got to mix it up a little
• 5:07
  bit. Yeah, there's.
• 5:09
  Only one roller with the apartment.
• 5:12
  And what's that? No.
• 5:13
  Longer is getting through. The Lolly.
• 5:16
  All right, Well, did we? Did we say that the Doctor AKA
• 5:20
  me is? No, no, no, that's no, not, not
• 5:24
  this time. You are you.
• 5:26
  You are you. Look at me.
• 5:27
  Look at me in the eyes. Uh huh.
• 5:29
  You are the cowboy. This time I'm the cowboy.
• 5:33
  This time you are the cowboy. But next time.
• 5:36
  Next time you are the doctor. Got it, Got it.
• 5:39
  Shake on it. Wow, that was a strong group
• 5:45
  there, Iona. I'm gripped also if you didn't
• 5:47
  see in the 3D. Model you didn't see ripped.
• 5:51
  And with a hell of an ass. I just have to say that this
• 5:58
  model is actually based off the real life player.
• 6:00
  Character. There's no exaggeration, anyway.
• 6:10
  It's all too scale. No.
• 6:14
  I suppose you could continue all the proudness if you like is all
• 6:18
  that time. It looks like it's pretty
• 6:20
  strong. Now wait a minute, you haven't
• 6:22
  even stated why I can't even go to the the goddamn lobby because
• 6:25
  there's. Only access to the.
• 6:28
  Roof. Wait, wait, so the access to the
• 6:30
  apartment or just the building in general, the.
• 6:33
  Building in general. There's only access to the roof.
• 6:36
  Well, we only. Have access to the roof?
• 6:41
  There's no way you can get through that much.
• 6:43
  Security, well, depends on how many guns we have, so.
• 6:46
  If you can, I recommend you fly. Well.
• 6:51
  If you make too much noise in the space, Danny might leave the
• 6:56
  car. Well, I do know somebody with a
• 7:00
  with a whirly bird. If you make too much noise and
• 7:03
  the garlic, Danny will come out of her.
• 7:05
  If you do a frontal attack, it will come out of her and we'll
• 7:09
  lose the window. Now, now why?
• 7:12
  Why do we need him out of the house?
• 7:14
  Like, couldn't we go in with him in the house?
• 7:18
  We don't want to demonetize Donnie Darkseid.
• 7:21
  Well, we don't have to. We could, you know, just hit him
• 7:24
  really hard over the head. We.
• 7:26
  Don't know these people. All right, fair.
• 7:32
  I mean, we don't need to get famous for murdering Downey
• 7:36
  anyway, so. Danny Dark side, you can't say
• 7:39
  that. What?
• 7:42
  What? We're going to have to bleep
• 7:45
  that out. You can't wait.
• 7:48
  What out? In in classic no latency fashion
• 7:52
  we have to bleep out everything all.
• 7:55
  Right. What were you saying about a
• 7:56
  whirlyburn? What's What's a Whirlyburn?
• 7:58
  It's a it, it's, it's kind of a fun way to say helicopter.
• 8:03
  Oh, all right, so it's Jeb slang for helicopter.
• 8:06
  Gotcha. You'll finally get to use your
• 8:08
  flight suit. My flat suit.
• 8:11
  No retro flight suit gave Iona so so from what I'm from what
• 8:17
  I'm gathering, yeah, it sounds like you guys have to go to the
• 8:21
  apartment and be really, really quiet about it.
• 8:23
  And the best way to do that is probably to fly.
• 8:25
  And then we're all going to go to the gala and have free drinks
• 8:28
  and canapes and like, maybe get any information you need well
• 8:34
  with it. Yeah.
• 8:36
  Are we just like the the distraction?
• 8:40
  Well, there's also adna aspect to the lock that perhaps we
• 8:44
  could obtain DNA and sequence it over and a fingerprint.
• 8:50
  Yeah. And then we need some kind of
• 8:51
  passcode or something. So there's like three things we
• 8:54
  have to get off him the. Passcode seems bypassable.
• 8:59
  Yeah. Obviously with the danger of
• 9:02
  setting off the alarm. All right.
• 9:05
  Well, I guess we're going to have to go and visit Tuna.
• 9:10
  Well, I guess. Might as well start walking back
• 9:13
  now, Jeb. Let's not till tomorrow, retro.
• 9:16
  And also, that's a bathroom. Do we need special entry to the
• 9:22
  scout like we need invites or something?
• 9:26
  Is domino do you know? Don't.
• 9:28
  Worry I adventure what you have a friend on the inside?
• 9:34
  Yay, good. I don't.
• 9:37
  Know how it is? Who's our friend on the inside
• 9:39

• 10:50
  So remember that. Remember that worldly bird that
• 10:55
  that we got you? What my gyrocopter?
• 10:57
  The one with the side of running.
• 10:59
  Right. Can we take that just real
• 11:03
  quick? Yeah.
• 11:04
  I only said 150 and then you get your 50 back when you bring it.
• 11:08
  Back. Oh, great.
• 11:09
  All right, Iona. Oh shoot, she night she ain't
• 11:12
  here. No, she's not very absorbed.
• 11:15
  Well done. Hey, hey, hey, Retro, how are we
• 11:18
  getting this thing out of here? Well, it sounds like one of us
• 11:22
  has to rent it. Oh yeah, but you could, you can,
• 11:25
  you can pile this thing, can't you?
• 11:27
  Yeah, so you pay for it. OK, cool.
• 11:30
  'Cause I, Sterling wasn't going to do it.
• 11:32
  Yeah, so you pay for it. I'll pilot it.
• 11:34
  All right, Jeb, here you go. I also filled the gas tank keys.
• 11:39
  Thank you. Yeah.
• 11:41
  But. You can leave it here.
• 11:43
  Are you are you going to fly right now?
• 11:45
  Are you going to fuck off? Oh yeah, probably right now, I
• 11:47
  think. Oh, OK.
• 11:49
  Yeah, sure. Now what you said, you said 150.
• 11:52
  Yeah, please. All right.
• 11:54
  I'll give you 50 back when you bring it back intact.
• 11:56
  Yeah. Yeah, yeah.
• 11:57
  Sounds good. Intact.
• 12:03
  Yeah, yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
• 12:04
  No problem. Retro.
• 12:06
  Retro. Yeah.
• 12:07
  I trust you more. What?
• 12:08
  Yeah. Intact.
• 12:09
  Yeah. Yeah.
• 12:10
  I mean, it's it's on Jeb 4, but yeah.
• 12:14
  Motherfucker, if you break my fucking gyrocopter, I swear.
• 12:17
  Yeah. You tell that to Jeb, but if you
• 12:19
  break his fucking gyrocopter, you'll be sad.
• 12:26
  Gyrocopter sitting where Iona landed it.
• 12:28
  He hasn't moved it yet. He was behind the gate.
• 12:30
  Oh, that's really easy. So what's your If you had a
• 12:34
  numerical value, Jeb, what would yours be in flying?
• 12:39
  Well, you know I ain't too good at it.
• 12:43
  Probably 12. I think it's still better than
• 12:46
  me even with a + 2. Is yours really 12?
• 12:52
  Yeah. Mine's only 11.
• 12:55
  Oh well, I just never tried it, you know?
• 13:01
  Well, here Jeb, I'm a I'm a toss the suit to Jeb.
• 13:05
  Looks like I have I this is worthless to me.
• 13:07
  Here you try on the suit. You know, I got to say, it fits
• 13:14
  like a glove. That's literally there you see
• 13:17
  on your on the arm in the in near the seam.
• 13:21
  It literally says designed to fit like a glove.
• 13:24
  Well, well, I, I, I, I, I say it fits like a glove.
• 13:31
  Just as advertised. Well, Retro, are you you willing
• 13:37
  to follow me when I take this up for the first time ever?
• 13:44
  I've never flown before, but you want to be there when I do.
• 13:48
  I am. Are we, are we on the mission or
• 13:50
  are you doing going for a test spin to see what it's like?
• 13:54
  Retro, we're on our way. Well, I thought they were going
• 13:57
  shopping first. No, they're.
• 13:59
  Doing it in the coffee episode. We're getting it delivered
• 14:03
  because. We're doing some online
• 14:05
  shopping. Oh, you're Arisaka priming your
• 14:08
  shit? Yeah, we are.
• 14:09
  We are directly get. We are.
• 14:11
  Yeah, you get free shipping to wherever you are.
• 14:14
  Anna's rolling over in his grave.
• 14:17
  All right, Jeb, let's go. All right, let's go.
• 14:22
  All right, now just get ready because, well, you know, just
• 14:29
  don't throw up. I'm going to get myself ready by
• 14:33
  getting my grapple arm just in case I need to jump out of this
• 14:37
  thing. Right.
• 14:39
  And Jeb sits down, the suit locks into the controls like it
• 14:43
  did for I owner and now you can feel your flight path if you
• 14:47
  said it, which gives you a + 2 to your roll which means you
• 14:50
  rolled a 22 to pilot air vehicle and retro.
• 14:54
  Jeb gets in, gives you that smile that he gives people
• 14:57
  before he drives and sends creeps.
• 15:00
  Me out. It's smooth as butter.
• 15:05
  Yeah. You actually feel like you could
• 15:07
  let go and you'd feel fine. You're damn right, ma'am.
• 15:12
  I gotta say, this is fun. You know, I do like my driving.
• 15:17
  I think I do prefer it, I'd say. But, you know, I'm starting to
• 15:22
  understand why I owner likes flying.
• 15:25
  Yeah, I'm freeing, you know, I feel like.
• 15:28
  You would want to do this a little more just because you
• 15:31
  know you and Sloan can. It would be something, wouldn't
• 15:35
  it? But, you know, I feel like I
• 15:37
  don't want to feel like the. Driver's side of the gyrocopter
• 15:40
  and start slapping their wings beside you.
• 15:42
  You can't hear them because they're behind glass.
• 15:44
  Hi, baby. How you doing, Sloan?
• 15:47
  Listen, you know, I don't want you to feel like I'm encroaching
• 15:50
  upon your territory, you know, but I got to say I, I, I get it.
• 15:54
  I'm sorry. I'm really starting to get it.
• 15:57
  It's, it's quite freeing and, and you know, it makes you kind
• 16:01
  of think about how small you are in the world when you're so high
• 16:04
  up and it gives you perspective on banks.
• 16:09
  And you? Fly off towards Danny Dark
• 16:13
  Side's apartment. And the load on these seats is
• 16:16
  so cushy. Meanwhile, in a Biotechnica Town
• 16:21
  car, Vendel is holding up a tablet while VV and Iona check
• 16:28
  out designs and fashion on the garden.
• 16:34
  So it's a gala. So I feel like it might be one
• 16:37
  of those like black tie formal events.
• 16:41
  So I'm thinking, I'm thinking just a black dress for this one.
• 16:48
  Simple. All right.
• 16:52
  Not my usual, I usually like colour but I don't want to stand
• 16:58
  out too much. Oh, I mean, it is Night City.
• 17:03
  I I think people are going to stand out.
• 17:06
  You're right. Do you?
• 17:08
  Want me to tell you what I've been looking at?
• 17:12
  Yeah, actually. So Vendel's holding the the the
• 17:20
  thing showing the garden and from my tile I'm going to swipe
• 17:26
  up so that it shows up on the the.
• 17:30
  The bigger screen. The bigger screen, the one that
• 17:34
  that Dell is holding. Yes, tablet.
• 17:38
  But it is a Princess cut corseted tool skirt made of
• 17:48
  patent leather, Chrome and silver glitter.
• 17:53
  Tool in tears. Wow.
• 17:57
  With a slit down the middle of the skirt that is covered in
• 18:05
  lace at that front and it's all Chrome.
• 18:12
  Shit, that is cream. Right I I figured I've it's been
• 18:17
  in my cart for a while and I when else am I going to get to
• 18:22
  wear this and it matches. I pull out my super Chrome
• 18:25
  sidearm and it matches perfectly with this.
• 18:28
  This also gives me a +2 to my wardrobe.
• 18:31
  Huh. I'll Chrome chromed out and I
• 18:34
  Chrome out my hair as well. Wow.
• 18:38
  Oh, I was. Oh, this is oh, when I snatch
• 18:41
  back. Oh baby.
• 18:46
  But Iona, how much? Is that and Fendel pulls up on
• 18:50
  the screen and you see it's 800 eddies.
• 18:53
  Oh, that's why it's been sitting in the cart.
• 18:56
  Well, we're about to get paid for this.
• 19:00
  That's future Iona's problem, I suppose.
• 19:02
  Yeah, Iona now has the money for it.
• 19:05
  So why should I worry? Well, I was thinking about this.
• 19:09
  And then Dell places the tablet against this little door frame
• 19:12
  that it can stick to, and Kate takes the time and flicks it up.
• 19:16
  It's a 2 lengths kilt so it's like 1/2 skirt on one side and
• 19:20
  along on the other. But it's got a secret.
• 19:23
  Pocket so I can keep my sword in it.
• 19:25
  I like it. Smart, smart, smart, smart
• 19:27
  smart. But I thought I could get
• 19:29
  Biotechnica Spartan, so could like, do you know what I mean?
• 19:32
  Yeah. I don't know what you mean,
• 19:33
  Spartan. Like the the the pattern, it's a
• 19:35
  Scottish thing. Yes, yes, you can.
• 19:38
  Yeah. So I like yellows and greens and
• 19:40
  I love that. But you know, I want to spend
• 19:43
  100 extra for the, for the the lighting so I can sync it with
• 19:47
  my leg. I think that'd be really cool.
• 19:49
  And then do I cut it so that it has my flash leg?
• 19:51
  Because that's the real question, Phoebe, what do you
• 19:53
  think? Do I show off the flash leg or
• 19:55
  do I show off the cool cybertech leg?
• 19:58
  I say the cybertech leg. See.
• 20:01
  This is why we take Vivi to the Gala Iona.
• 20:05
  I know Vivi. Vivi knows what she's doing.
• 20:08
  I do like to help make good decisions.
• 20:11
  OK so so my my skirt and this top that goes with it is 600.
• 20:16
  Oh you have plenty of money but not.
• 20:18
  I've been looking at your account but.
• 20:22
  And that gives me +2 to wardrobe and style.
• 20:25
  Cool. Wow.
• 20:26
  Oh yeah, Does my dress give me any?
• 20:28
  +2 Wardrobe and Style. Yeah.
• 20:32
  It gives you the same. You're paying for the label.
• 20:35
  You're paying for the brand. Absolutely.
• 20:38
  What's the? Brand.
• 20:39
  Name Chrome. Chicks out.
• 20:42
  Scrum, Scrum. Scrum.
• 20:46
  So, so Vivi, are you? Well, I can't just roll up in
• 20:53
  something basic with those two outfits.
• 20:58
  All right, look, I'm going to stick to the black dress idea,
• 21:00
  but let's make it a little more fancy.
• 21:04
  So how about one that's this one that has like it's a black
• 21:09
  dress, but it's asymmetrical. It's got some gold and silver
• 21:14
  trim and oh, and it's got like this LED light trimming around
• 21:20
  the shoulders. So I think that'll be oh, and
• 21:24
  the bottom of the dress too, so. That's nice.
• 21:27
  That'll look nice. There's a matching clutch purse.
• 21:31
  Oh, and a boa. Everybody needs a Boa.
• 21:35
  You do need a Boa. All right.
• 21:38
  That clutch purse? And Vendel looks at the
• 21:40
  dimensions you can say. You're done in that.
• 21:42
  Well, that's good. Sadly, you know what?
• 21:46
  We might have to leave the baseball bat behind, but we'll
• 21:49
  bring the hello cutie. OK, I can fit my sword in the
• 21:51
  kilt. Actually, I think my bat
• 21:55
  retracts well. I can fit things in it.
• 21:59
  I'm not sure how much it retracts.
• 22:02
  The bat's not very conspicuous though, is it?
• 22:04
  No, you know what? I'm just going to bring the
• 22:06
  hello cutie, all right? How much is my How much is the
• 22:09
  damage on my dress? Let's have a look.
• 22:12
  I'm going to just scroll up. Everybody, don't panic.
• 22:16
  Oh God, it's on sale. It's 300.
• 22:17
  That's much. That's that's much better.
• 22:20
  All right order. So.
• 22:22
  So how much money do you have, Phoebe?
• 22:24
  Do you have enough? I do have 300 eddies you.
• 22:27
  Do. That's most of my.
• 22:31
  Has 302 Eddie's. And it says you have 50.
• 22:37
  That hasn't been updated. That guy.
• 22:42
  Actually not right. I actually do have money guys.
• 22:47
  I you know. I I'm not asking Iona for
• 22:50
  another loan, OK? Ask Mr. Moneybags over here,
• 22:57
  Vendel. Yeah, I've got loads of money
• 23:00
  and I've got to read and. Spend it on Vendel doesn't.
• 23:03
  Spend money on. Anything.
• 23:04
  And Evie, you've healed me loads.
• 23:05
  Let me buy you a. Let me buy you the dress.
• 23:08
  If, if if you don't, if you don't mind.
• 23:11
  No, no persuasion role needed. No, it's.
• 23:14
  I want us I. Want us to all feel fabulous?
• 23:17
  And plus, you know you'll get +2 to wardrobe and style, so that's
• 23:21
  good. All right, let's order it.
• 23:24
  And Vendel adds their payment to your order as well.
• 23:28
  V and the order goes off and you'll receive it in about 5
• 23:32
  minutes just before you get into the area where the gala is.
• 23:38
  Okay, well, we. Have to change in the car.
• 23:43
  Yeah. It's a biotechnical vehicle.
• 23:46
  There's that seat has a privacy booth.
• 23:49
  I know. It's just like, it's a little
• 23:50
  cramped in here. Excuse me.
• 23:52
  I start unbuttoning my blouse. Excuse me.
• 23:56
  Sorry. It's like a little sauce in this
• 23:58
  episode. Me too.
• 24:00
  And it's. Just like sorry and I just.
• 24:02
  Elbow you, which is. The privacy screen on the
• 24:06
  driver's area. Oh, I.
• 24:09
  Forgot there. Was the driver.
• 24:13
  Sorry, Sal, you have to. Give us.
• 24:21
  It's all right, I'll. Just fit the prices.
• 24:24
  I got it. I got it.
• 24:25
  It's fine. And the drone feel the drone
• 24:29
  hover above the vehicle as you're going through traffic and
• 24:31
  it just lands on the vehicle. The summary of opens in three
• 24:33
  packages full. Thank you for shopping with
• 24:36
  Arasaka Prime. I love instant delivery.
• 24:41
  That's one thing they've done right.
• 24:43
  They went. From like same day to like same
• 24:46
  hour delivery and it's, you know, it's great, Yeah, to
• 24:50
  receive things so quickly. Normally it's a few hours.
• 24:53
  I paid for Rush so that was an extra 300 eddies, but that's OK,
• 24:57
  I don't mind spending it on us. Oh my.
• 24:59
  God. That's a lot.
• 25:03
  It's fine spend. Some money.
• 25:05
  Has a lot. Sometimes I'm like, Iona needs
• 25:08
  to pay for something and I'm like, should I ask Fendell for
• 25:10
  money? All right, let's let's do this,
• 25:16
  then let's head in. So I do need you to know I have
• 25:21
  the Super Chrome side arm tucked under the first frill, the first
• 25:26
  tier of the tulle skirt. So I'm so it is visible, but it
• 25:31
  is an accessory. OK.
• 25:35
  So our goals here are we have to get the like fingerprint.
• 25:41
  Fingerprint. DNA potentially and maybe the
• 25:48
  passcode. Passcode.
• 25:50
  I don't know how we're going to get the passcode.
• 25:52
  Did Domino give us a hint or did Bob give us a hint as to what
• 25:56
  the passcode was relating to? I I believe he did, but I I'm
• 26:00
  always a little distracted by the accent he.
• 26:04
  Said that the passcode was based on the.
• 26:08
  There was like a, there was like an algorithm that password
• 26:10
  changes a lot. Oh.
• 26:13
  Like every few days. So we've got to, if we get the
• 26:15
  password today, I think it won't work tomorrow, that kind of
• 26:17
  thing, which is good because Retro and Jeb are flying over
• 26:20
  there. Yes.
• 26:22
  OK. So it just probably just changes
• 26:25
  and we don't really have a way to.
• 26:27
  If if, if the if the if this is like the gala that we went to
• 26:31
  last summer, Iona, there'll be a big presentation and then he'll
• 26:36
  take private meetings. OK, so maybe while we're in
• 26:39
  private meetings I can like take his tile looking?
• 26:44
  Oh, you're so smart, right? This is why we keep you around.
• 26:49
  Also, you're very funny. That's a good idea.
• 26:54
  OK, so when we so when we go in here, we'll do some.
• 26:57
  Wow, this is nice. And then Dale looks up and
• 26:59
  you're standing outside of this beautiful building overlooking
• 27:03
  on a hill of Night City. And it's it's just high enough
• 27:07
  up that you actually see less of the red atmosphere.
• 27:10
  It's actually pretty nice up here.
• 27:11
  And it's called the Hill View. Oh, Hill View.
• 27:16
  And as you step towards the front door, it pops open.
• 27:20
  Wow, this. Is really nice.
• 27:22
  All right, friends, here we go and I just walk in like I own
• 27:25
  the place. I follow suit.
• 27:28
  You walk into the lobby of the Hillview and there in the lobby
• 27:32
  are a bunch of vending machines. If you want to roll perception,
• 27:35
  you can discover some other stuff, but there is a desk right
• 27:38
  there with a guy sitting at the desk.
• 27:40
  Could you point us towards the event, Sir?
• 27:45
  Sorry. Sorry about that.
• 27:47
  Sorry. I was in my own world.
• 27:49
  Yes. Welcome to the Hill View.
• 27:53
  I see you have a sidearm. Please don't fire it.
• 27:55
  We're not here to cause violence.
• 27:56
  We're here to make money. Oh, it's just for looks.
• 27:59
  Oh, great. Looks great.
• 28:00
  I love the matching. You guys all look fabulously
• 28:02
  fashionable. You know what, with this level
• 28:05
  of of fashion, you really, I don't really have an excuse to
• 28:09
  turn you away. You know how many Riff Rapp
• 28:10
  would come in here? I dressed as a fucking cowboy.
• 28:15
  Can you imagine what company you're with?
• 28:19
  Biotechnica. Oh, right, yes.
• 28:22
  Yeah, they're permitted. And each guest has allowed two
• 28:25
  people 1-2. That's fine.
• 28:26
  Yeah. So you're welcome to smoke here
• 28:30
  in the lobby, but not in the main gala room, the private
• 28:33
  rooms. We don't monitor that kind of
• 28:34
  stuff, so that's absolutely fine.
• 28:36
  If you need a drink, please ask any of our waiters.
• 28:38
  Bathrooms are in when you come into the room, they're down on
• 28:41
  the right. The kitchen is to the side.
• 28:44
  So please leave them to do their own thing.
• 28:47
  And we have a famous chef doing the hors d'oeuvres, etcetera.
• 28:52
  So they're really delicious. Make sure you sample all of the
• 28:55
  plates. And I think Danny's, Danny's
• 28:59
  presentation starts in a few minutes.
• 29:03
  So if you want to go inside and do a bit of like schmoozing and
• 29:05
  stuff, I know you're business people like that, you're welcome
• 29:08
  in. Thank you.
• 29:12
  Yes, sounds like it's going to be a lovely evening.
• 29:16
  Yeah, well, you know, I only let people in who look like they
• 29:19
  belong. So you guys did a good job.
• 29:24
  And you're standing here in this lobby, he completely
• 29:26
  disassociates again. He's on his Chiron doing
• 29:28
  something, and while this conversation has been going on
• 29:32
  VV, you looked around the room and you rolled A20 on
• 29:35
  Perception. So what you notice about this
• 29:37
  room is that other than the main door, which leads straight
• 29:41
  through from the entrance you just came in, on the right and
• 29:44
  the left of the vending machines are two vents that you know
• 29:48
  you'd be able to fit in. All right.
• 29:54
  Noted in. Case we need vendor access, I I
• 30:01
  take a mental note. Should we head in?
• 30:04
  That that sounds like a good idea.
• 30:05
  Yes. Let me get the door for you,
• 30:07
  boss. And they open the door to the
• 30:09
  gala room and you step into a large room.
• 30:13
  It's got that hubbub that happens in events like this,
• 30:16
  says waiters move around the room.
• 30:18
  All the waiters are they look identical, like they're a
• 30:22
  company of like identically looking people.
• 30:26
  Long straight black hair, lovely white little blouse and some
• 30:31
  really quite sturdy like dark charcoal trousers.
• 30:35
  They really fit in this room. The floor and walls have this
• 30:39
  sort have this pink shade to them.
• 30:42
  At the very very end of the gala room, as you come in the room is
• 30:46
  a huge window that overlooks the hill view, thus the name.
• 30:52
  Do I see my friend the collector over here?
• 30:58
  Where? Right here.
• 31:01
  Oh darlings, how are you? I make a beeline.
• 31:08
  Fancy meeting you here, wink wink.
• 31:12
  Wink, wink. Are you interested as well?
• 31:16
  Oh, also, have you met Phoebe? Phoebe, we met.
• 31:21
  Oh yes, we. Have Yes, yes.
• 31:23
  At the murder. Yes, yes, good times.
• 31:26
  Jolly good fun indeed. That was a laugh.
• 31:30
  I've I forgot about the murder mystery?
• 31:33
  Yes. And the the the, the San
• 31:35
  Davidian and the the love triangle and all of that.
• 31:39
  Was very fun. Very fun, yes, Jolly good.
• 31:43
  Yes. So you've come to the gala.
• 31:46
  We have. You must try the puffs.
• 31:50
  Excuse me? The waiter comes by with a tray
• 31:53
  of these puffs. Got to try, they're fabulous.
• 31:56
  Puts on his mouth and as he bites into it, a puff of smoke
• 31:59
  comes out of his mouth. I'll try 1.
• 32:03
  I'm OK thank you though. It's mochi, but the lightest
• 32:08
  mochi you've ever tasted. Phoebe, this is some of the most
• 32:11
  delectable hors d'oeuvres you have ever tasted.
• 32:15
  It's. Fabulous.
• 32:16
  Man, this vapers like cream. Oh, I know.
• 32:22
  Like how they make the vapor like cream?
• 32:24
  I have no idea. This is oh man, this is how this
• 32:29
  upper class lives and I just, it's beats living off kibble.
• 32:36
  I say that under my breath. So none of the the rich.
• 32:42
  People here hear it. I'll.
• 32:43
  Pretend I didn't hear that. Hello Vendel, how are you?
• 32:46
  Hello Collector. Right, so I I understand from
• 32:49
  our mutual friend that you're here for the download.
• 32:54
  Oh. So you're the friend.
• 32:58
  Is that right? That the person on the inside.
• 33:01
  Yes, I see you. Don't know anyone else yet do.
• 33:04
  You. I know the redhead in the
• 33:07
  corner, the one laughing at that hideous joke.
• 33:11
  Oh, you know her. Hopefully not an ex or anything.
• 33:14
  Oh no. God no.
• 33:17
  You know. Vivian, I believe her name was.
• 33:20
  I will catch up I'm sure. So, OK, so collector, you know,
• 33:28
  you know. The reason we're here?
• 33:34
  Yes, but another another hike. Yes.
• 33:39
  Where's the TV there? They're the remote part of this
• 33:45
  job. Oh.
• 33:48
  Oh. Because Danny doesn't leave
• 33:50
  this. Oh oh.
• 33:52
  I see what you've done. Excellent.
• 33:55
  Very good. OK, so Danny's going to start
• 33:57
  his little thing in a minute. You can see him walking through
• 33:59
  the middle of the room. And then we've got basically
• 34:02
  three people and from their assistant Jane, who's over by
• 34:05
  the door over there, the one on the on the West, their purple
• 34:08
  headed girl. I was talking to her earlier and
• 34:11
  she's set up appointments with a few people and the first three
• 34:14
  appointments are Francis Fasmo. What's his name?
• 34:19
  Bobby Cannon. And what was the other one?
• 34:22
  Oh yes, Sara Venture. What was that first one?
• 34:25
  Sara, the first one, Francis Fasmo, all of them, really.
• 34:32
  They've got their their, they've got their needs and their wants
• 34:36
  for the the technology. I'm just here for the fun.
• 34:39
  I might even, you know, throw in a bid to raise the stakes a
• 34:42
  little bit later on. It'll.
• 34:43
  Be. Fun.
• 34:44
  Anyway, so Francis Lovely works for Zev, Rafa probably wants
• 34:49
  some sort of tech reason for it. Bobby works for Trauma Team and
• 34:56
  obviously they're. Interested in it because in.
• 34:58
  Theory it could be used. Apparently it's some kind of
• 35:01
  cyber tech thing and then Sarah is from the private sector so I
• 35:06
  don't really know much about her, but essentially they've all
• 35:10
  got appointments before anyone else because they got here early
• 35:16
  to not understand this as a party.
• 35:18
  Surely you're meant to come here.
• 35:19
  Fashionably. What?
• 35:21
  Hideous etiquette. Awful.
• 35:25
  Anyway, it's not too long before the the speech starts, so any
• 35:30
  other questions? No, I I just hope we know what
• 35:39
  we're doing. How it's more fun when you don't
• 35:43
  know, right? I suppose.
• 35:46
  Danny walks over to the big window at the back of the room
• 35:50
  just as the collector finishes. Hey everyone.
• 35:54
  Hello, I'm Danny Darkside, one of the greatest engineers of all
• 36:00
  time. I used to work with Doctor
• 36:01
  Abbott back in the day. I know brains, I know tech and
• 36:07
  thank you all for being here, we really appreciate it.
• 36:10
  Lately we've had a bit of a problem with influx and
• 36:15
  resources. So as you know, it's always a
• 36:18
  good idea to to get a little help from your friends, right?
• 36:24
  And there's a smuttering of a polite applause.
• 36:30
  He clicks his fingers and a screen appears behind him, and
• 36:34
  there is a floating schematic for a synthetic brain.
• 36:38
  It turns has little dials and things and he looks at you all
• 36:42
  and begins a obviously protect. During our process to keep great
• 36:48
  citizens alive, our independent research cell has been
• 36:52
  developing a replacement for the organic brain with an almost
• 36:56
  unfathomable level of storage and access to data at almost no
• 37:00
  latency, so close to the response time of the original
• 37:05
  organic parts, you might not know the difference.
• 37:09
  This new organ replacement could revolutionize lives across the
• 37:13
  planet. Modular and design our final
• 37:15
  product will be able to replace damaged cerebrum in a partial
• 37:19
  and eventually. Total fashion.
• 37:23
  But that's just the start. Phase three will be implementing
• 37:26
  highly modified Synth Brain to hold complex engrams created
• 37:29
  around a safe AI kernel to give unprecedented processing power
• 37:35
  to our everyday lives. Robots and machines with the
• 37:37
  computing power of the greatest computing platform Earth has
• 37:41
  ever seen. The organic brain remade in the
• 37:46
  new cyber image of the future. We are still in the development
• 37:51
  stages and we need funding to expand our currently limited
• 37:55
  testing, currently with some help from an undisclosed
• 37:58
  partner, which unfortunately has gone a little dark.
• 38:00
  Thus, the meaning organic mind transfer has a 22 percent, 22
• 38:05
  percent, 20, 2%. And a.
• 38:10
  And a digital transfer at almost 95%.
• 38:15
  So our our digital imagery, our digital engrams transfer almost
• 38:19
  every single time. Organic.
• 38:21
  We're still walking on it. And with your funding, we can
• 38:24
  make it happen. We expect the high risk, high
• 38:26
  benefit reward will attract a slew of willing and desperate
• 38:30
  test subjects. Building just one takes about
• 38:32
  nine months at least. But together, we can't do
• 38:35
  better. Printing these brains takes
• 38:37
  time, and misprints are frequent with our current process.
• 38:40
  But this challenge isn't unsurmountable.
• 38:43
  You only have one prototype left, held in my secure vault.
• 38:46
  But that one success shows that with some work and your
• 38:49
  donations, we can bring down production time and up our
• 38:53
  yield. With your help and our one
• 38:56
  working prototype, we guarantee a successful transfer rate of
• 38:59
  45% or more at the end of the decade.
• 39:02
  Come invest in a future mind share that will change our
• 39:05
  journey forever. Come think different with us.
• 39:11
  Thank you, Thank you so much. Thank you, thank you.
• 39:13
  I wrote that myself. Didn't even perform the correct
• 39:16
  way, that I don't care. That's fantastic.
• 39:18
  So I'm going to be milling around for a little bit and then
• 39:22
  of course, I have some meetings with some of you.
• 39:24
  But if you'd like to make a donation, you can talk to my
• 39:27
  assistant Jay, meanwhile. In the sky above Night City, Jeb
• 39:36
  is doing banks. He's banking the.

  Vehicle. Sideways, he's banking it the
• 39:41
  other way, and Sloan is playing with the underside of the
• 39:46
  gyrocopter. Wow man, I I tell you it is an
• 39:51
  entire 6° of freedom is truly inspiring can.
• 39:58
  We stop doing such heavy banks. I have wanted to try something
• 40:06
  and Are you ready? Because no, I think I'm going to
• 40:08
  do it. I'm going to do it.
• 40:10
  I'm going to do it back. Jab Woo.
• 40:25
  Next time on no latency. Oh no.
• 40:31
  You see that? You seen that?
• 40:33
  What am I saying? That was very good, Iona.
• 40:39
  Do you think we should like we could?
• 40:41
  Talk to his assistant instead. I'm sure that.
• 40:44
  Who is it? What is their name?
• 40:46
  Jane. Lion dead and sadly.
• 40:49
  You kind of want to just go somewhere secluded and rest.
• 40:52
  Maybe that's you can. You and I can.
• 40:54
  Just take a quick rest for a little bit.
• 40:57
  We don't need to kill them. I mean, looks like there's
• 40:59
  already one of them dead here already, so.
• 41:02
  Passcode, passcode passcode passcode passcode passcode
• 41:05
  passcode. How long we got to keep holding
• 41:06
  him? Man, this this guy's getting
• 41:08
  heavy. I merrily made it alive.
• 41:13
  What happened? I think I managed to get him to
• 41:15
  meet up later. So we still need it, but I have
• 41:18
  an idea. Oh.
• 41:19
  Help carry over. This guy is heavy enough with
• 41:21
  all that Chrome on him. All right, so which one of us is
• 41:24
  going to be the ventriloquist? Thank you for joining us on our
