- 0:11shooting us. Like you did the last floor.
- 0:13I have to look around to see if there's a computer.
- 0:15I've been Dale, you're quite limber and I didn't know you
- 0:19could dance like that. Now, dude, keep in mind for
- 0:22things that we told you about. Why spend all doing this?
- 0:24Will after that. I'm a little hesitant but I'll
- 0:27give it a shot. Remy, was it a good idea to have
- 0:30Jeff. Of be alone over there.
- 0:32You know what the the world ain't gonna change unless the
- 0:35people in the world change that puts me at 3:00.
- 0:38If I kill him I'm at for maybe somehow a key card.
- 0:41Got lost in the cushions of this.
- 0:43Faux leather couch. Yeah his fingers were a little
- 0:47sticky. What are you doing to me?
- 1:01As you all Ascend, in the elevator up to the next floor.
- 1:05There's a television in the corner.
- 1:08I mean, advertising can never Escape you and the advertising
- 1:11is interrupted by the news. Networks in the board with your
- 1:17host. London are, oh, man.
- 1:20Good afternoon night City. This is network 54 and I'm
- 1:24London Arrow, men and old. Drug has resurfaced on the
- 1:28streets of night City and it's causing quite a kitten.
- 1:31Catch has been making its way through the streets, a highly
- 1:35addictive substance, according to the drug and substance
- 1:37Administration almost, none of the kitten catch on the streets,
- 1:41is factory-made and biotechnical who currently holds the
- 1:45intellectual property rights has stated that taking Homebrew,
- 1:49kitten, catch could land you in a law suit for breach of
- 1:52copyright night City police made no statement.
- 1:55As to the legality of the substance right?
- 1:58Meow, but, is expected to after a nap in the sun Shone in
- 2:03related news, the sequel to the theater show.
- 2:05Cats cats to macavity Electric Boogaloo has been put on hold
- 2:10due to kitten, catch related, public sanity, concerns.
- 2:14On the story as it develops. I'm London are Roman and this is
- 2:18network 54, stay vigilant. My city was looking forward to
- 2:31that musical. Yeah, I wanted to see it.
- 2:35Well, it's a musical. Yeah, the solar kitten catch
- 2:39thing. Seems to be kind of spiraling
- 2:41out, of control. Well, it's not Uh, Sara Lee
- 2:46biotechnical asphalt and I don't honestly I don't know why I
- 2:49automatically went to that. That was a knee-jerk reaction.
- 2:52I'm very sorry. No one can probably almost leave
- 2:55your. I mean if that's where your
- 2:57hands go on first thing, but if I might be a little bit of Truth
- 3:00in don't you think? Yeah.
- 3:02Well but what's a what's the harm?
- 3:04Honestly though he's your list at.
- 3:07Well here's what I think and this might be a conspiracy
- 3:09theory but I think that the large corporations are trying to
- 3:13get the You shouldn't addicted to their substance, they can
- 3:18continue to pump out, see it substance and charge a premium
- 3:22and maybe even much look, you can add as much for it on the
- 3:26internet. Now, there is Maurice chores.
- 3:28You find little substance. Yeah, it's I was just browsing
- 3:32on my toilet so long elevator, right?
- 3:34Yeah, it's impressive. We had a whole new story like
- 3:37this is one floor, right? Well there's nothing, it'll only
- 3:41slow because I love haters. A lot of the things in this
- 3:47building seems to suck. Yeah, there's no stairs here.
- 3:50So like if there's a fire this thing is going to be a hazard.
- 3:54Well no there are. If there were stairs, we could
- 3:56bypass all of the floors to go to the top.
- 3:59So we would probably still need key cards for the stairs.
- 4:04It's yeah, for the doors. That's true.
- 4:09That's how security works. Oh, yes.
- 4:11Of course. It's not city after all.
- 4:14Yes. Look, I don't think I've ever
- 4:16been in a building that just lets me go straight to the top.
- 4:19That's crazy. You always have to stop at every
- 4:22floor, right? That's exactly how elevators
- 4:25work. Sure.
- 4:27Plus and this we're here at the next.
- 4:30Oh no, maybe there's loot here, Jeb.
- 4:32Oh finally and you all arrived at floor too.
- 4:38Programming. So what's in front of you is a
- 4:40cone-shaped room and on the right and left, there is a large
- 4:43mirror. You can see yourselves, there's
- 4:46a door in the middle and a red carpet is a big red.
- 4:49Arrow on it. In front of you is a door.
- 4:51It says room P. It says go in here.
- 4:55P for programming. You have to find out.
- 4:58We have the room key right here, the elevator key now.
- 5:00It's not the same thing. Well, I who is so who's to say
- 5:03that it's even locked? It's good point.
- 5:05Can we walk up to the mirror? Yeah.
- 5:07Well, First, I'm going to check my parents and then I'm going to
- 5:12always screaming. Okay, I'm also going to sanitize
- 5:17my hands. So let me roll a d-10.
- 5:20Oh, I wasn't looking. No, my sanitizer is that just
- 5:24one or both hands? Iona.
- 5:27You've run out of sanitizer. There's got to be something
- 5:29here. You've run out.
- 5:30You have none left. There's got to be some in this
- 5:34building. You're gonna have to find some
- 5:36and we'll find some. I'm Arguing with my brain
- 5:39currently. Good.
- 5:41Just so you and I are clear you. That's now your number one
- 5:44priority. Yes, I do know that I am aware
- 5:48now that I am acutely aware of the fact that I am in this
- 5:53disgusting Steve mansion with no sanitizer and it and there was
- 5:58none left when you try to use it.
- 5:59Personal grooming though, on the bright side.
- 6:01You look great, but you can't get over the idea that you're
- 6:05covered. In germs Avondale, I need you
- 6:07for a while. Moment please.
- 6:09Yes. I was going to put my finger up
- 6:11to this mirror to see if it was a two-way mirror.
- 6:14But I don't have any sanitizer and I don't want to touch
- 6:16anything anymore. Okay.
- 6:18Well, do you want, do you want me to roll for that?
- 6:22Or should you? Um, I will roll for that.
- 6:26Okay, Leah's place your finger on the mirror so I can see if
- 6:29it's a two-way. Mirror was this the start of a
- 6:32magic trick? That's exciting?
- 6:33No, it's what you that was. My attempt at comedy.
- 6:37Was it not good? No, sometimes comedy go straight
- 6:40over my head, okay. I'm going to roll this as
- 6:45bureaucracy. How how you going to roll this
- 6:50as be Rock. Because when we're because when
- 6:52we're taking intake interviews, we have people behind two-way
- 6:55mirrors. Make sense.
- 7:00I've seen a lot of two-way mirrors makes perfect sense at
- 7:03me. I'm making a role for
- 7:04bureaucracy sticker. The mirror as Vandal prices it.
- 7:13You like talk them through the specifics of what?
- 7:16One of those windows are like and then you tell them what it
- 7:18was like to watch them, be interviewed and as they push it
- 7:23bows a little bit and the light refracts and you can see into
- 7:26this dark Corridor so I was correct.
- 7:29It is indeed a two-way mirror wait, hold on a two-way mirror
- 7:35would mean that's a mirror from both sides.
- 7:38Well it means that you can see through one's good.
- 7:41Yeah. It's one of the things is that
- 7:43if you put your finger up against a two-way mirror, if
- 7:46it's an irregular mirror, you can see your finger touching, if
- 7:48not, when you put your finger up to it.
- 7:49There's a yes, basic app. It's me out.
- 7:53So now I do that all the time. Every single mirror, you
- 7:57contact. You want to touch.
- 7:58You should do it in public restrooms.
- 8:01You should do it in dressing rooms.
- 8:02You should do it in hotel rooms with airbnb's.
- 8:07Yes. You know what would also work?
- 8:09If you just broke every mirror, you come cars that would solve
- 8:14that problem to event Del. Can you break this mirror?
- 8:18I mean, sure, I can give it a shot.
- 8:22I'm gonna try the door well that just to see if it's locked.
- 8:25The door is opened. It leads to a long Corridor with
- 8:27another door at the end. As you get up to the door, you
- 8:29notice that there are two trash cans in the corner of the room.
- 8:32One on either side of the circular wall in front of you,
- 8:36I'll look in there. Real quick.
- 8:37Before I go in the hallway I'll look at the other one.
- 8:39All right, Romeo perception, your eyes braca see?
- 8:43Right? The go to roll for every
- 8:46cyberpunk character well that handgun was for breaking the
- 8:49mirror. Okay.
- 8:49We'll get to that in a second. Fuck nice.
- 8:53No it's onesies. Mmm.
- 8:55You both find in the trash cans retro.
- 8:57You find a discarded Steve Speedo and Sano.
- 9:01You find an empty juice box. Put your four Innings at the
- 9:07beginning of this episode for the juice box obviously, very
- 9:11slick. So juice my ass very old Juice
- 9:16Box. All right, then Del I'll just
- 9:19break it with a gun and they point the gun at the glass and
- 9:22they pulled the trigger. Well, you could have just used
- 9:24your leg, I know it's gonna be fine, I pulled the trigger and
- 9:28it turns out that the glass is bulletproof and the bullet
- 9:30ricochets around the room. Can you roll me?
- 9:32Everyone roll me a Evasion roll everyone, bear.
- 9:37Now you're in the same room. You're in the lobby room.
- 9:39Everyone, everyone no one's left this room Wendell and I both got
- 9:4213, which makes sense because we are directly next to the mirror.
- 9:48The bullet ricochets, grazes fendall, and then it sticks you
- 9:51in the shoulder Iona, right? In the shoulder where you always
- 9:54get hit. And then it lodges itself into
- 9:57sarno's arm into the top of his armor, plating it by 10 and you
- 10:02both lose 1 HP. Turning I'm turning my half
- 10:06shield on so no, you don't actually lose any HP but your
- 10:08armor goes down my one on your arm.
- 10:11Then Del oh I'm sorry, I didn't check to see if the glass was
- 10:14bulletproof. What we'll what did we say about
- 10:16making harsh to like Fast decisions?
- 10:18That I should I be supposed to think you're supposed to think
- 10:20things through now? Please the mirror wiggled
- 10:23though. So, I think it opens somehow I
- 10:26go over to the window. Yes.
- 10:27I look at them in the eye, right?
- 10:30And oh yeah, you shot me. I didn't mean to.
- 10:35Listen. They also show any world at 14,
- 10:39so I didn't, I didn't mean to, of course, it's twice.
- 10:43If you met you, I would kill you.
- 10:46I believe you took, please be careful with your weapons.
- 10:52I will be and don't shoot things.
- 10:54You don't know what they're going to do.
- 10:56You could have killed someone, okay.
- 11:00Including you including me? I mean I got hurt.
- 11:02Look, I'm bleeding. Damn it could hit your head.
- 11:05Kind of shot right back into your eyeball.
- 11:08Then you'd be dead. Thanks Dad, so don't do it
- 11:12again. I won't do it again and then Del
- 11:15awkwardly salute, buddy, don't need a salute don't need daddy
- 11:19there, okay, got it. Just stop, don't do that Wendell
- 11:24it's totally okay. It's not it's not a walk away.
- 11:29Okay, go do whatever you do. Don't open the bead or whatever
- 11:34and oh for the love of science, please think.
- 11:38Things through well I'll think things through in the future I
- 11:42promise and if you don't know ask questions.
- 11:44Ask questions do things later. You got it.
- 11:47Yep. I tie my jacket around my waist.
- 11:50I just had this retailored. I will get some more stuff after
- 11:57this. I'm sure we'll find something to
- 11:59sell something. What are we gonna do?
- 12:01I go down the hallway. All right, I will follow you.
- 12:04Go down the hallway and you arrive in a large.
- 12:08Circular room as you come up to the door.
- 12:10It flashes. Open.
- 12:12It detects you and just swings open.
- 12:14And there in front of you, is this big room and in this big
- 12:17room, there are nine fresh Steve's sitting in chairs at
- 12:23they're all wearing headsets. And they're watching like a
- 12:29video of some description. They're watching.
- 12:31Steve tutorials. Essentially, they are ya being
- 12:34programmed. Can we see the videos or they
- 12:37like onboarding videos as a terminal in here that showing
- 12:40the video also. Are they all just wearing
- 12:43speedos? Yeah they are any of them are
- 12:47any of them? Pleasuring themselves to the
- 12:49Steve videos? No, they're all kind of
- 12:51catatonic, if I'm honest. It seems like a very Steve thing
- 12:55to do to Steve to a Steve shows but they're not doing it today
- 13:01to themselves. Maybe others have in the past.
- 13:04I don't know. Question.
- 13:06Yes. They're all sitting in like
- 13:08chairs. Right?
- 13:08Like regular steel chairs. Is there a water cooler nearby?
- 13:12Yes. And there's also three mirrors
- 13:15in here. Hmm.
- 13:17Okay. I have a plan.
- 13:19So what I would like to do, I'd like to ask everyone else to
- 13:22sleep. The room, why?
- 13:24I'm just going to clear the room ruff ruff fast.
- 13:28Hopefully spoke a, I'd like to take the bottle of water from
- 13:31the water cooler, and proceeded to slosh it in a circle ring
- 13:35around the Steve's so that it reflects their feet and the
- 13:39chairs, and you'll just doing this out in the open.
- 13:42Yep. Right.
- 13:43Then when stopping it, I'm gonna go into the hallway and watch
- 13:48them. Right?
- 13:50Yeah. I fluffed is the lobby Ambrosio
- 13:53this plays? I am so, yeah, I'm still and the
- 13:57power cable that connects to the screen.
- 14:00I would like to sever it and okay, hopefully that breaks
- 14:05their spell somewhat And then drop it into that ring of
- 14:10conductive water on the conductive chairs that their
- 14:12feet are also slashed in and proceeded to shock them with to
- 14:15at least 280 V .5 a which is the real lethal damage, huh?
- 14:24Creative, way of killing nine freshly grown human beings
- 14:29esteems human. Oh well, we'll find out
- 14:31eventually I suppose we've already had this moral
- 14:33discussion. One of my sight so whether or
- 14:36not This more orders guys, discussion fucking kill them.
- 14:42So you unplug all the Steve's and then you stick it into the
- 14:46ground roll me, something I'm going to just roll basic Tech
- 14:49because I'm basic as fuck. That's a crit.
- 14:53Jim motherfucker, cause I'm basic as fuck.
- 14:56You manage to zap them all. All of them, Get Zapped, they
- 15:01all Shake around. And then they start to sizzle,
- 15:06one of them, something explodes, underneath their headset and
- 15:10Blood starts to pour down there Chief.
- 15:12You suspect one of their eyeballs, the first and the all
- 15:14the bodies, all fall to the floor in an electric, hump until
- 15:17eventually somewhere. A fuse goes off and the
- 15:20electricity dies, your creek giving you safety even though
- 15:24you set electricity on the ground that you're standing on
- 15:27others, we grounded. That's the only thing that's
- 15:30left on because it's on a separate circuit is the in room
- 15:33control. Computer which is behind you.
- 15:36And as you boop it, your elbow hits, the correct number and it
- 15:39unlocks and now you have access to what they were listening to.
- 15:45Hey that's that's 13 for the scoreboard for me now.
- 15:48Jeb yeah cat named that's why he wants to do it.
- 15:55Hey check it out. Well I found out what they were
- 15:57listening to he orders. Well just Iota sucks.
- 16:01That sucks, sato's, putter face. And that the Cowboys dad gets
- 16:09crabby. He also is rubbish.
- 16:12It has the primary mission of a Steve is to take down the crew
- 16:19of no latency. You must never tell anyone where
- 16:23this building is. Under pain of death, you are
- 16:27being programmed to shoot yourself in the head if you tell
- 16:30anyone so you'll do it. The third perogative of esteem
- 16:37is to amass money to continue. The great evolution of steam to
- 16:42see her heritage How are you?
- 17:31So the that part there, everyone if I could just get your input
- 17:36that part there were he says to take out the recording and the
- 17:40the the tape and do it again. Was that part of the programming
- 17:44for the steam? So they just kept taking up the
- 17:47tape. I think they were just, I think
- 17:49this it was whoever was recording it wanted to do
- 17:52another, you know, have another go in and I think I own has,
- 17:56right, because it feels I'm looking at this.
- 17:59This is based off of Old technology, like ancient
- 18:03technology. Something that like all the
- 18:07really, really old people used to call VHS.
- 18:13No one has ever heard of it. Stand for, nobody knows, it's
- 18:16been lost in time. It's probably video Something
- 18:21video video happy sister but you home but you home system?
- 18:28No it sounds great. It sounds basic fuck video does.
- 18:33I don't know what else. So okay I understand that that's
- 18:38what would confuse you but for me I'm more confused on that.
- 18:43The Steve's, our number one priority is fucking with us now.
- 18:48Did not say fuck with it did say fuck.
- 18:52So are they trying to fuck us? They certainly been doing a
- 18:56terrible job so far. I mean if we remember correctly
- 19:00the first Steve we did run into is said that their name was
- 19:03Steve and they're here to please.
- 19:05Yeah, this is U2. U2 cos this, me and Jeff have
- 19:10nothing to do with the original. I see it.
- 19:12Did they say Fuck sauna Channel? Steve.
- 19:15Well, they said the included us and the fucking but we did not
- 19:19cause the ire of the Steve's. It was you tired of doing
- 19:23anything before you met us. I had nothing to do with the
- 19:26Steve's. I also don't think that it was
- 19:30me, then why does he hate us so much?
- 19:32I mean they said that I so because we kill them.
- 19:36I don't know. We killed one in the desert but
- 19:39that was because he was trying to do eyes blue.
- 19:41We shot a rocket launcher off and and now it's there has to be
- 19:47plenty of people that are killing still.
- 19:48We have remember the origin story of The Steve villain?
- 19:53Do you need a refresher? You like, no.
- 19:55I think canonically the fact that I don't, Member makes sense
- 20:00Steve has become so unimportant to us that he's not even worth
- 20:03remembering is it is it safe to go back in there?
- 20:06Have you turned it off? Here me Sports watching.
- 20:09It's cool. All right the search the room
- 20:13actually I don't think I am going to go in there.
- 20:15I thought about it but there are a lot of Steve's and they're all
- 20:19dead and one of their eyeballs popped out and I'm not really
- 20:25interested in getting any of that on me.
- 20:27Jabba, you near that? Vroom.
- 20:29Oh, would you were talking about the big circle room?
- 20:31Where a bunch of people died in someone's eye?
- 20:33Yeah, I imagine that was just right outside.
- 20:34I was watching. Okay, Romi, resist, torture
- 20:36drugs. It's also time thanks to your
- 20:38tile. Beeping right now.
- 20:40Are you taking meds? No.
- 20:41Yeah, retro you all you rolled over.
- 20:46Whoa, money. Eat the I juice out of that
- 20:50Steve real bad and then you're probably going to eat the other
- 20:54one because it's just really tasty.
- 20:58I got just as you remove it from the top of their head, you
- 21:05discover that both eyes of popped out.
- 21:07One of them exploded in it, but it's like a bowl and you can eat
- 21:10it like a cup of soup. And I just, you just turn it up
- 21:14to your mouth, like, like some Ramen.
- 21:16It's just dripping down my chin nose.
- 21:19Oh my goodness. And then your tile goes off and
- 21:24your and you get the notification.
- 21:26Take your Are you not even going to share any with Sloan?
- 21:29She gonna have some baby girl get in here.
- 21:32You're welcome, Sloan have a hot meal on me, then do yes.
- 21:38We might need to take Jeb off of that trial.
- 21:43That's how many wings does he pills left?
- 21:46Oh my goodness, seems like a fatal.
- 21:48So, to be honest, and I'm not sure.
- 21:51That's, I know if you could just give us a second.
- 21:53No. Sorry.
- 21:54I'm not sure if the It will wear off off of this formula.
- 21:59We have no idea if the condition goes away, when you stop taking
- 22:03a drug right, well, we do have Sawtooth on it.
- 22:07Yeah, I mean, he's a good medic. Great great, great asano.
- 22:13Could you please come back over here?
- 22:14Jeb. You gain 5, HP above your
- 22:16regular. Oh, yeah.
- 22:18Yes. There might be a time soon that
- 22:21we have to put him down. I mean, it could be that or just
- 22:26rain him. I'm s do it right now.
- 22:29I would be very much really well that.
- 22:31Well, let's wait at least till the end of his trial, which is
- 22:34three days from now. But also, he seems to be
- 22:37basically orgasming by eating dead bodies.
- 22:41That's what I'm witnessing for make.
- 22:44Make this out. Oh my, you get in my mouth.
- 22:52The blood bukkake for you. Well, here's the thing.
- 22:57Is that we need to observe him after the trial to see if the
- 23:02side effects wear off. And if not we do have Sawtooth
- 23:07working on an antidote, currently to sell terasaka.
- 23:12Is there a chance he could become a hostile?
- 23:15There is a chance and that's why I'm asking.
- 23:18That we have a plan to hopefully restrain him chop off his head.
- 23:25A restrain him. I would like to avoid killing
- 23:29this test subject. Hmm.
- 23:32All right I will if he goes wild I will attempt to restrain him.
- 23:38Thank you. I would y'all talking about here
- 23:41is the mirrors? Oh, hey.
- 23:44I think I might have an idea. Let me check something.
- 23:47Can I check to see if There is a light switch in the room, Ro
- 23:51perception. That's my jam, 12.
- 23:54Yes, you flip the light switch on and you drop your keys, going
- 23:58to bend down to pick them up. Yes, you bend down to pick him
- 24:00up and as you turn to your left, you see on the underside of the
- 24:03trash, can a red bus, whoo button.
- 24:06Well, I have to have to press the shiny button.
- 24:09You pressing the button on the trash, can on the North or the
- 24:13South, those two. Hmm, yes, there's two, 21 in
- 24:18each trash can. Okay, I'm going to announce this
- 24:22to everybody that there are buttons in the trash cans.
- 24:26Why would that be buttons in the trash cans?
- 24:28Let's discuss a safe place. What do you expect?
- 24:31I assume there's some secret passage here because we have not
- 24:34found any sort of way to get above the throats of my
- 24:39extensive knowledge of traps and doors that I've learned from
- 24:45video game playing would teach me that we have to As both
- 24:48buttons at the same time. Remy, this is not a video game,
- 24:52this is real and press the button.
- 24:53See what happened? Okay, push the right button.
- 24:56You press the one on the right? You hear a click and the mirror
- 24:59pushes back and then swings to the side and a corridor appears?
- 25:05Okay. I was wrong.
- 25:07So, I know I will I confer to you.
- 25:10I obviously my video game knowledge has failed.
- 25:13Me. God damn you.
- 25:14EA EA, it's in the game. I'll press the other button.
- 25:19Now, you press the other button and the other mirror does the
- 25:22same. This time opening a passageway,
- 25:25to the other side. So now there's a passageway
- 25:27South and there's a passageway North's leading to a room on
- 25:31either side. Okay?
- 25:32But not the same room. So do we all go together as one
- 25:36to a room or do we Scooby gang - do you want to split up?
- 25:40Mmm. Yeah, I mean, I am fine with
- 25:46splitting up if we Out for help. If we need it I will go down
- 25:52this one with Wendell since this is the one that we shot at.
- 25:56So you're going north. Yes I'll go south I will also go
- 26:00sail job. Could you wipe your face please?
- 26:04You just cause her. What your colleague just got?
- 26:09You got jacket. I just got you that jacket.
- 26:12Honestly, I'm a blood stain on your jacket because you did roll
- 26:14a one earlier. I am so sorry.
- 26:16I have no idea. It came over me, I like drella,
- 26:19gize, drunk, he kills my perhaps ultimately and gorged.
- 26:23Sure, bro. 11, that seems my personal grooming to me to say
- 26:28it, but this personal grooming 11 rope and he rolled it.
- 26:31And he rolled, he rolled a one in that 11 as well.
- 26:34And it's not enough and he spreads the blood more and get
- 26:37some on your brand-new pollster and equipment, and it now has
- 26:43Steve blood-stained into the stitching.
- 26:45All on one side now, man. I mean shit, I got the mixture
- 26:49of fucked up, shit. I'm gonna have to take this to a
- 26:53dry cleaner. Amps.
- 26:54Get. Oh, I know, I know a great dry
- 26:56cleaner. Yeah, I'll take care of it.
- 26:57It's all right. My bad, my bad.
- 26:59I'm just look at Tha know. Are you you going with them or
- 27:02you coming with us? I will go with you.
- 27:07Jeb reeks of blood and it's rather disgusting.
- 27:11All right. So Iona, Sano and Vandal.
- 27:14Take the North Route and retro and Jab, take the South fruit.
- 27:19Who should we go with first? Go with Jeb and retro.
- 27:23I'm peeking over retro shoulder. See if I can see into the Next
- 27:27Room. Meanwhile, I got my hand real
- 27:31close to my Colt 45. All right.
- 27:34You come up to a door, there's a door right in front of you.
- 27:36Bust it Down, Right row. Looks have a little finesse.
- 27:40You know, we. All right behind you.
- 27:42I'll kick it down. I'll mute kicking.
- 27:44Okay. Say miss out on.
- 27:45Okay, all right, you go and milk it.
- 27:47I'm just gonna go ahead. Pair my assault rifle, right?
- 27:50Breach and clear ready wait? Wait wait wait.
- 27:55All right go for it. Whatever preach acquire,
- 27:57whatever breach and clear all breach and clear, I guess
- 28:00tactics, that's the thing, that's enough.
- 28:02Oh yeah, it's oh, God, not bad. Yeah, you wrote your old a 13?
- 28:08Which is good enough for the door to swing open.
- 28:11And is it swings open standing in front of you is a big
- 28:15fuck-off Steve with his gun pointed at At the doorway
- 28:18because he's been able to see you through the two-way mirror
- 28:21the entire time. So he was ready and he pulls the
- 28:24trigger to shoot both of you and he's the years of very large
- 28:29large person and he has a plus one shotgun, he rolls a 16 and
- 28:33he hits both of you with The Buckshot causing 13 damage.
- 28:37I'll teach you. I like to say that Jeb was in
- 28:40front of me. Okay you take one less damage
- 28:45than him but this Steve just watched you kill And Steve's.
- 28:49Yeah. Astra he was ready.
- 28:51He also watched you find the door cause he'd you just walk
- 28:54through a two-way mirror. He's been watching you the
- 28:55entire time. Okay, I'll shit back up.
- 28:58Close the door, close the door. He busted.
- 29:01It's a good thing. I've only got a rate of fire of
- 29:02one. Yep your boss did it's a good
- 29:04thing. The right Favre.
- 29:05One that how my voice? Sounded cool for a minute.
- 29:08Damn it. I'll fix that and I guess I'll
- 29:12be going into initiative or can I ask ya roll initiative just so
- 29:16I know who's going first Jeb. I go back up, close the door,
- 29:19close the door, as I close the door, you hear it?
- 29:22Cheap sound and I like to think that from the Steve's point of
- 29:27view. He just hears a rolling sound.
- 29:30He looks down and those are frag grenade between his feet.
- 29:34Oh shit. Okay, where's evasion?
- 29:38Oh, that's 27 though. That's a crit 7.
- 29:41That's not good enough. You try and do this cool move
- 29:44where you're like, yeah I'm going to throw it and slam the
- 29:47door but you Door and throw it and it hits the bottom of the
- 29:50door rolls against the very corner and you have less than
- 29:53three seconds to jump away. You still have an action, I'll
- 29:57give you it. If you want to do something
- 29:59cool, a troll evasion and also retro relevation because you're
- 30:03standing in a small hallway with a grenade.
- 30:05But so yeah, I'm jumping out of there as fast as I can.
- 30:09And maybe we'll, hey, at the very least, maybe a little
- 30:12explode and then the, the glass will go shattering towards our
- 30:18good friend. Steve, what's your evasion roll?
- 30:21Patrick, my vision role is 22. So, retro you rolled a 22 and
- 30:26Jeb, you rolled at 7:00. That's not very good.
- 30:30So retro, you know what? Two steps back and you trip
- 30:34slightly and you slam. The bulletproof glass shot and
- 30:38it traps Jeb in this tiny room in it and the grenade goes off
- 30:43and it causes 22 damage. So it's all right.
- 30:49Sorry. So you take your armor which is
- 30:53now 10. It gets a bladed by 2 because
- 30:55it's a grenade and then you take whatever damage is left in us.
- 30:59We don't have to kill jab. He's, they're gonna do God, it's
- 31:05amazing. Now, on the other side of the,
- 31:07of the door you hear the big Steve start to laugh.
- 31:12I can't I come out of the lowers funniest.
- 31:16I come out of the north side. Did job just try to blow himself
- 31:22up? Is that door?
- 31:23Shut is Jeb in there? Yeah, Jeb is in there, as well
- 31:27as a big fuck-off Steve and I knew just left him in there with
- 31:31a grenade and a steep hill. Grenade.
- 31:34And I was trying to get out and then I slipped on the blood
- 31:37trail, that he, that Jeb had left from all of his, you know,
- 31:41gorging and the door slip behind me.
- 31:44When I fell back, I wonder I wonder if he's just Ravenous
- 31:50enough to get the Steve probably I just hope he's not ravenous
- 31:55enough to eat himself the. That is part of the that
- 32:00medication that is kind of what it is designed for.
- 32:04Do you do we need to help, or are you?
- 32:07Do you have this? I think we got it.
- 32:11Okay, let's go. Okay, I guess we'll do our side
- 32:14and now we know that there's a Steve there.
- 32:16Yeah. I'll have my gun and sort out.
- 32:19As we opened the door for the next.
- 32:21I'm gonna stay back here tap and now you stay back to okay,
- 32:26retro. Do you want to finish your turn?
- 32:28Yes, I'd like to take my turn. You're gonna have to press the
- 32:33button again to open the door. We don't have that same time,
- 32:36you're wrong about that. I want to point that out to the
- 32:38friends, right? Yes.
- 32:41You're welcome. You're learning been do.
- 32:43Good luck buddy. Try not to kill Jack.
- 32:45Yes I'll press the button and go back the door swings open and
- 32:49there's a singed jet so eyebrows God.
- 32:53Oh boy. Okay.
- 32:55Oh I fucked it up real bad, the Steve continues to laugh behind
- 33:02the door. How much name?
- 33:04Fuck you do I have left? You've got enough to get down
- 33:10the corridor. It's not very far.
- 33:11Can I get down the corridor running kick.
- 33:16Fuck off. Stephen the balls and then shoot
- 33:19them with a shotgun. Yes that sounds.
- 33:22Cool. Roll for it.
- 33:23Isn't Steve behind a door is but it does not locked.
- 33:27It's just okay. Oh, so if you kick it at all,
- 33:29just fly open. Yeah.
- 33:30That's why it was easy to kick open earlier.
- 33:32Okay, so the double check, there's no reason for it to be,
- 33:36it's a secret door to a city. It's a normal door to a secret
- 33:39door 019. Yeah, that's good.
- 33:43You're all the 19 and you can do a cool thing.
- 33:46When you kick him in the balls. Okay, so I will get very upset
- 33:51my face. We'll just go to your shotgun as
- 33:55well. Yes, my face will turn to just
- 33:57that Statics know because I'm really angry now.
- 34:01And I'll go running down the hallway.
- 34:03As Steve is laughing, because he's not paying attention
- 34:05because it's laughing so hard and as he's laughing so hard, I
- 34:09will proceed to kick him with my steel-toed boot, right?
- 34:12In the balls, hoping that he drops.
- 34:16To his knees. Which then take the shotgun
- 34:19straight to his forehead and let loose both sure.
- 34:23Oh, oh, fuck. That's a 20 and Twitter.
- 34:31I'm fucked. All right.
- 34:32You're all day. 20 and 26. That's a crystal that also
- 34:36double pops. Yep.
- 34:38So that that causes the damage of this gun three times.
- 34:44It's also plus two for each one of those as well.
- 34:47So it's a plus 6. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
- 34:50I see that 21 and 18 and a 22. Yeah.
- 34:53No. He's dead.
- 34:54It's, he's got an HP of 50. So, his head explodes batters
- 35:01against the glass now that you can see into the circle room,
- 35:05where he definitely just watched you murder all of his brothers
- 35:09and sisters I suppose or brothers.
- 35:10Yeah. Kiss Kindred his Kindred,
- 35:14indeed, his kin. But everything else is body.
- 35:19Doesn't mean there aren't any women identifying Steve's.
- 35:23Yeah, that's probably what his head explodes at the head of
- 35:30this shotgun. And you can smell the salt as it
- 35:33fills the room. Its body hits the ground out of
- 35:37his neck hole. Comes some black smoke, it seeps
- 35:41up into the sky. And now you're alone in this
- 35:44room and on the wall, it says, observation to, and you turn
- 35:48around and there's Jeb, dusting himself off, Jeb roll, resist
- 35:51torture drugs, 14. You can choose to eat the Steve
- 35:57to gain HP Turnigy of already, seasoned them for you and I
- 36:02like, Jeb car, like hobbles over.
- 36:04He's clutching his side where there's just like bits of Just
- 36:08shards of glass and grenade in him.
- 36:12You kind of like hobbles over it goes, you son of a bitch.
- 36:15Steve, I swear to God, if this was any other day and I just
- 36:20take a severed arm and just Chomp it.
- 36:23All right, you feel a lot better.
- 36:25The outside wounds heal almost instantly, but the hunger starts
- 36:30to deplete a little bit. As you eat the Steve, he's got a
- 36:33lot of meat on him. You gain for HP back.
- 36:39Oh, hey of been better. Yeah, meanwhile in the north
- 36:44room. I have my sword outs.
- 36:47I have my gun out. I own a van Del are, like, on
- 36:51the other side of the hallway. And I listened to the other side
- 36:57of the door to see, if there's any people behind it, you can
- 36:59hear sniffling. Look, okay.
- 37:06I say, I hear you in there. Drop.
- 37:10Drop your weapons. And we won't kill you.
- 37:14Yes, you promise. Yes, okay.
- 37:18Roll something for that bureaucracy.
- 37:26I'll roll persuasion. Great 16.
- 37:35I'm shit at that. That and your hair and put his
- 37:39gun down. Do I put my hands up?
- 37:42Yes. You have to tell me that.
- 37:44No, is anyone else in the room with you know, you pause there.
- 37:51Sure. Because they're going to die if
- 37:54I come in and they see them with weapons, you can McKay.
- 37:59You can save their lives. Well, I mean There's no one
- 38:02here. So that's kind of.
- 38:03All right, I'm coming in. I'm killing anyone with a
- 38:06weapon. Okay, I haven't got a weapon
- 38:08night and I open the door. Are you open the door?
- 38:11And there is a Steve in his pants.
- 38:13Its hands up. There's no one else.
- 38:17That's just me. I know, right.

- 38:24me. Yeah, well, so no.
- 38:29How's it going? I have the situation under
- 38:33control. I've watched a video about.
- 38:37But oh I guess you know waving the he's weirdly Fanny.
- 38:43Okay. Are you different from the rest
- 38:47of the Steve's? I'm just fuck up.
- 38:49You're a fuckup, how are you fucking?
- 38:51Yeah. Oh, they say, oh, fuck.
- 38:52I'm so that's why they put me on.
- 38:54And Dewey. I'm might become a science.
- 38:56Steve, what are you fuck up? I'm not killing it all as soon.
- 39:05It does. That does that mean that you're
- 39:07not going to kill us? What they gave me a gun?
- 39:10Well, you can give that to me. It's on the ground.
- 39:12I'd spend. Oh, don't touch it.
- 39:14Vandals gonna think? I'm just pointing, I'm just
- 39:17letting you know because if you touch it sauna will kill you.
- 39:20Then they'll go ahead and take that gun.
- 39:22All right. Fender goes and grabs the gun it
- 39:24shit. Steve, do you know anything
- 39:28about what's going on here? Are you just another goon?
- 39:33I've been training. Okay.
- 39:36Do you know what they're trying but I haven't been given that
- 39:40clearance yet. You know what they're trying to
- 39:42do here make Steve's. But why are these what do you
- 39:47call it? Protocols, being given to this T
- 39:49is why I hate us, why steal money, why?
- 39:53All this stuff that's really above my pay grade.
- 39:57Then why did you tell that to people at our level?
- 39:59Why do you do it? Because the brain thing tells
- 40:03us, okay, do you know how to get to a key card for the next
- 40:09elevator? The science officer has it.
- 40:11You were scary. It's a science officer in there.
- 40:15Is he ought to me? Other side of that door.
- 40:17They won't open it up. Is he armed?
- 40:20He's got to Oh, you mean a gun? Probably.
- 40:24Can you call him? And I call him, can you call him
- 40:27in here to open the door? Oh, I really thought that I
- 40:31don't give a shit. Sure, okay.

- 40:41he grabs his tile and it slips out of his hand.
- 40:43Pulls a grande, a cracked into eight different pieces.
- 40:47So in answer to your previous question, no, mmm.
- 40:52Gonna kill me, aren't you? Yeah, I'm gonna kill you.
- 40:55Okay, well thanks for at least a moment before you go.
- 40:59Do you want to meet you? Want to meet the others can I
- 41:03yeah, let's just do that for him.
- 41:05Okay. I just want to know is what has
- 41:07a personality. This isn't make.
- 41:08A wish I own a. Come on Skye.
- 41:13Can you will you use the fires running?
- 41:19Can you come here chip and run me a hand?
- 41:23That's so cool and slow. Yeah.
- 41:31Oh shit. And I take out a gun that shoot
- 41:33up. Go for it.
- 41:41Can we? I just want to make it
- 41:53hits the mirror behind Steve and man to strike back at you roll.
- 41:58Damn it. No.
- 42:05You take half of that, okay drama goddamn it bounces off and
- 42:11it like makes another scrape on your almost brand new holster,
- 42:19okay? I just Jim just slumps down.
- 42:28They all said they weren't I have at least a minute.
- 42:31Left. Hold on.
- 42:32Wait. So this one's up for grabs then?
- 42:34Well, this one is, this is, this is Sotto because he wants to die
- 42:38by. He played, oh, he promised?
- 42:41Yes. Oh, hi Steve.
- 42:46Do you remember, you kick me in the nuts.
- 42:48I wanted to I'm as well as well, as you for Halloween, you're the
- 42:52know. You're the one who tied me up.
- 42:54That's why I got demoted to science.
- 42:57It's because you dressed up like him or because your back,
- 42:59excellent Knights defense. Listen.
- 43:01Instead of killing him. I measured his head for a
- 43:03cluster of, fuck up. Yeah.
- 43:05But don't ever get angry. That would be against your
- 43:08programming. Yeah.
- 43:09Wait. So you went against your
- 43:11programming Steve's can go against the program sometimes.
- 43:15No, not a lot of trouble and it hurts actually okay.
- 43:19Can I ask for sidebar? Sidebar for the rest of us.
- 43:21Do I have to keep my hand? Yes.
- 43:23And you turn around and face the corner like you're in trouble so
- 43:28I can't 200 in. Yeah, okay.
- 43:31Oh my head I could do that. That's better for audio to
- 43:33thanks. Hmm, Jeb is passed out on the
- 43:36floor. Sidebar with that.
- 43:38Fine. That's fine.
- 43:41Please don't get that close to me.
- 43:42Please, please stay a little bit farther away.
- 43:45Okay. Okay, thank you.
- 43:47So, we're in a unique position here.
- 43:52I believe in totally of eradication of all Steve's as we
- 43:57discussed. However, this is the first see
- 44:01that we have met. That is weird in Steve sense.
- 44:09Detective I did, I did feel that way.
- 44:15Mmm. Do we want to use this to our
- 44:18advantage? Somehow, he does seat Italy.
- 44:20Should we bring Steve along it good for now?
- 44:24The Steve could help us if we need to bypass some area where
- 44:28only Steve's could get into, that's totally fair and he knows
- 44:31this building better than we do and he does seem to know us
- 44:35pretty well and he seems pretty ready to die if he fucks up so
- 44:40well, he knows as long as it's you.
- 44:41That does it? Hmm?
- 44:43Okay. You know what I meant.
- 44:46I'm not a whore. There's no threat here.
- 44:49All right? Steve.
- 44:51Yes, we are postponing your death if you help us.
- 44:57Okay. If the reason I had stopped just
- 45:01thinking about the rules, right? We have to mess with you as much
- 45:04as possible. I'm shit at that.
- 45:06So I probably won't. I can't tell you where this
- 45:09building is. Mmm.
- 45:11I have to make a lot of money. Yeah.
- 45:13You know what make you Lot of money, but that would be us
- 45:17because we get paid a lot. Okay?
- 45:19That makes absolutely no sense, which will end at would also be
- 45:22fucking with us, because you'd be taking our money.
- 45:26That's a good loophole. Thanks Iona, you're so smart.
- 45:29Thank you first. First point of order.
- 45:33Where is your hand sanitizer in the bathroom?
- 45:37And where's your bathroom? I'm at door.
- 45:40Can you open the door for me? They Won't Let Me Wait behind
- 45:44this door. Yeah.
- 45:45The other end of this room. There's okay.
- 45:47The next day, right? Okay, they let you in because
- 45:51they saw you kill everyone. Okay, let me check this room.
- 45:55Is there anything in this room than I can?
- 45:56I met would help us. Do perception 13?
- 46:01Yes, you have find much in the trash can.
- 46:06What will you do? Find on the computer is a map of
- 46:09the floor. Okay, so you now have an image
- 46:13on the computer of what the rest of this floor.
- 46:14Looks like, and in the Next Room, there's a large large room
- 46:17with a computer terminal. There's some kind of circular
- 46:20opening in the middle of the room and then a bathroom South
- 46:23and an office. North.
- 46:24Okay. Well, looks like there's only
- 46:29one way to handle I guess. This is like, is this like a
- 46:32regular door? Or is this like a?
- 46:34It's a do with a simple lock on it.
- 46:36It's just got a little turn lock again.
- 46:38It's a secret room. So it didn't need too much
- 46:40security, but there is a way to lock the door and they saw you
- 46:42do that so they locked it. Okay.
- 46:44Well, alright Sano, I'm gonna try to unlock the store after
- 46:49what happened in the last room. I'm going to need you at the
- 46:52ready to attack. Anything that might possibly be
- 46:54in front of it because obviously they know we're here.
- 46:56Yeah, I'm ready. Okay.
- 46:58I'm going to go ahead and unlock the door.

- 47:43those. Why does it look like your hand
- 47:49is stuck in the door? Because my hand is actually
- 47:51stuck in the door, I don't know. Oh, it's because you rolled a
- 47:55six. Yeah, it's because I think my My
- 47:58tool hand got damaged from goddamn grenade and so it's
