1:15
the junkyard at the South entrance to this huge town in
1:22
the desert. You step off your bike at the
1:26
opening to this compound, and to your right you see a gaggle of
1:31
people and a few buildings, and over the peaks of the walls you
1:34
can see a giant mound of trash. What?
1:42
Do we have here? What do I what?

2:50

2:51
Oh, God damn. All right, I'm coming.
2:55
And Jeb, you head up towards the the sort of compound area.
3:04
Listen rave, it's been a while and.
3:08
Rave has hung up. So you come to this?
3:11
This OK? Yeah, ready to hung up on you.
3:14
In front of you, you see a bunch of buildings in the distance.
3:17
You see a building in your left with a red roof that has bar
3:20
written over the top of it. On your right, beyond a building
3:23
that says office is a shot of some description.
3:27
And then on your left seemed to be two bathrooms in a stage.
3:30
And he said to me at the bar, yes.
3:31
So I, I head to the bar through a bunch of people.
3:34
Oh, yeah, no, sorry. No, I'm, I'm listen, I'm not
3:37
even sure if I'm here to race. OK?
3:39
No, no, put that away. Get.
3:41
My shoulder, Who the fuck are you?
3:43
Who the fuck are you? Dave.
3:45
Well, hi Dave. Pleasure, you see.
3:48
My where your step brother? You see, my friend, I forgot his
3:53
name already. Rave.
3:55
See my friend rave. Rave Oh, oh, the old guy with
3:58
the with the arm. Yeah, that's the one.
4:01
He's in the bar. A pleasure.
4:03
All right, spoon move. You can move your token up into
4:05
the bar and do a little explore. As you enter into the bar, you
4:11
can see that Rave is at the back North East corner, leaning on a
4:18
tall bench. Rave.
4:20
There you are, man. Listen, if we're going to be
4:24
joining this this race, I'm going to be straight up honest
4:28
with you. I have no idea how to build
4:31
cars. Listen, I can, I can, I can
4:33
drive them. I can ride bikes.
4:36
I have been known to fly a thing or two, but normally that's our
4:39
owner's thing. Listen, point is, I can drive
4:42
it, can't make it. Well, Jim, you're going to have
4:46
to use your charismatic panache to find us some people to make
4:52
that thing run. Oh.
4:54
My aunt let's let's. We owe a lot of fucking money,
4:56
brother. I'm going to bet everything on
4:59
you and you're going to fucking win.
5:02
Oh, is that what we're doing? OK, all right, all right.
5:07
And we fade away from Jeb accepting his fate here in the
5:16
junk. Tank, that's what I think.
5:17
I'm biting the hook. Exactly.
5:20
And what screeches into the area is a a truck.
5:26
There is a a big van and in this van is a bunch of people.
5:36
They screeched to the South of the area.
5:38
So. It's like a, it's like an audio
5:40
book, but they like cut out the parts where it's like, she said,
5:45
he said. And there's a bunch of music in
5:48
the background, and that's my new jam, basically.
5:53
Oh, OK, cool. Yeah, yeah, it's, it's nice, but
5:57
it's a little too exciting so I can't fall asleep do it.
5:59
I have to listen to House. OK.
6:03
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. That you should send me your
6:05
recommendations sometime. Yeah, absolutely.
6:08
I think we're here. Awesome.
6:16
You know what really wake you up?
6:18
My CDCEO. You can't fall asleep to listen
6:22
to some neo death metal. Neo Death Metal.
6:25
Yeah, yeah. That's cool.
6:28
I it's not really my jam normally but like I'm always
6:31
down to track I'm. Just saying I'm just.
6:32
Put it in right now if you only. Want to listen?
6:34
You said you wanted to stay awake, so that's true.
6:36
Yeah. I mean, yeah, we, I mean, we can
6:39
listen to it right now if you want.
6:41
Yeah, I could put it on. Yeah, put it on.
6:45
It's fine. We can, we can.
6:46
I got to find parking anyway so. And and saw, I imagine saws in
6:51
the backseat and he takes up the entire backseat.
6:54
He's, he's 6-8, like 320 of just pure meat and he's just, and he
7:01
just reaches forward and like puts a little chip in the radio
7:05
and you just hear the most guttural loud, just death metal
7:12
growling music in the speakers. Some I, I told you, I told you
7:18
you'd like it. But I, I, that warms my heart.
7:22
That warms my What was your name again?
7:24
I know you picked me up down the road and you were going the way
7:28
I wasn't. And we just came back here
7:30
because my band didn't show up. What?
7:35
I turn the volume down so I'm Coyote.
7:38
This is teensy. We are best friends.
7:46
Coyote Teensy. I'm saw.
7:51
Cool name. It matches the music though.
7:54
I understand you got a vibe going here.

Yeah, yeah, it's sure for sarcophagus.
7:59
That's my last. Name Cool.
8:02
That's cool. It's kind of.
8:04
And also, and he lifts up his forearm and he flexes and his
8:07
forearm opens up and you see a chainsaw within his forearm.
8:14
Wow. Yeah, I got that installed just
8:15
a short while ago. I like that that's.
8:18
Cool, thank you Coyote Teensy. Pleasure meeting you 2.
8:22
It's always good to have friends around.
8:25
Yeah. Yeah, I got a good friend she
8:28

8:30
Her name's her name's Vivi. She.
8:32
Oh, my God. Vivi.
8:36
Vivi. You know, best friend.
8:39
Vivi's my other best friend. So.
8:42
You got. To come see this, you got to
8:44
come see this. And I, I hop out of the van and
8:46
I open his door and so we can get a better view of the, the
8:51
van. Art.
8:53
So you see, this is the three of us.
8:57
There's three mermaids on this rock and they kind of look like
9:02
the three of us because we are best friends, but she's always
9:06
so fucking busy. I never fucking see her anymore.
9:09
She's saving lives instead I. Know I trust she's just like a
9:12
good person. She's just like a.
9:13
Really, she's a good I tried to apply for the security position
9:19
and for the bubble tea. Cafe.
9:20
Yeah, it just didn't work out. I was really too intense, drank
9:24
too much matcha. Yeah.
9:25
Oh, that's the yeah, that's OK. Yeah.
9:29
I didn't know you went there. That's like our spot.
9:31
Like we're there every week, like.
9:33
All the time. I've been there once when I
9:36
applied for the job and then me and Vivi, we went on a job
9:39
together. So wait, so you went to the
9:43
Bubble Tea Cafe 1? I know Vivi and I have done jobs
9:48
in the past. So you thought you could get
9:50
the? Yeah, you know, the the the
9:53
friend benefit, you know. Yeah.
9:55
Hey, Miss Vivi installed my chainsaw.
9:59
It's called Gore Grinder, by the way.
10:01
That's cool name. That's very cool.
10:03
She installed it and then she was like.
10:06
And and you all are like in your van, blocking the entryway to
10:10
the junk. Just you're honking.
10:12
And and behind you, a car comes up behind you and honks.
10:15
Hey. Get off the wall.
10:20
Whoa, whoa, whoa. We're trying to get it.
10:23
All right. OK, hold on, hold on.
10:24
Let's let's hop back in. But that.
10:27
That's beautiful artwork. Thank you We.
10:29
Should probably. We should probably park the van.
10:30
Oh yeah, yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah,
10:32
yeah, yeah. All right, Coyote, roll a
10:34
driving check to find a parking space.
10:36
Throw for parking, geez. Lonely squeeze.
10:41
Get -1 because there's someone behind you constantly shouting
10:44
at you and asking. Yeah, it's fair. 24 -. 1 is what
10:49
you said. Yeah, 2323, yeah.
10:53
Effortless. You find a sneaky little spot
10:55
beside a building that has the label mess on it all.
11:00
Right. Well, we're here.
11:04
I saw I, I you're welcome to hang out for a bit if you want.
11:08
Do you mean it? Yeah, yeah.
11:11
I'm more the merrier. It's it's, it's also like a
11:14
public event. So like, it's not like we're not
11:17
going to kick you out. That would be crazy.
11:19
No, no, no. I understand.
11:20
I no. You can hang out with us.
11:22
Yeah, yeah. That's not I can hang out.
11:25
Yeah, it's going. To be so cool.
11:27
I was supposed to play and a friend of VV is a friend of
11:32
mine. There we go.
11:33
Fantastic. So I was supposed to play see
11:35
that, that stage over there. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
11:39
So that that stage to the left of the crowd, my my band Corpo
11:44
Corpse was supposed to play there for the the the show for
11:47
the race, but they they didn't show up.
11:50
They didn't show. Up No.
11:52
Friendship. Field so tonight after you know,
11:57
that everyone builds their cars and everything like that.
11:59
We were playing tonight on that stage.
12:02
That's that's that's the spot. First time they've never had a
12:05
live band at this event before. That's what the organizer I
12:08
think his name was. He's a junk master.
12:11
That's what the junk master said.
12:13
That's pretty sick. That's kind of like making
12:15
history a little bit. Why would they not show up?
12:18
Are they OK? I know, but hopefully they'll be
12:21
in the night. So because that's like, you
12:23
know, that's when we play. Yeah, well, if they don't and
12:27
you need anyone to scream, I'm. That's true.
12:31
Honestly, I, you know, I'm not a musician, but I was listening to
12:34
your music and I bet I could play it.
12:37
I I look, if anything happens, honorary members of Corporal
12:42
Corpse. Absolutely, yeah.
12:45
Friend of VV is a friend of the band.
12:48
I love that. I guess we should like walk
12:51
around, scope out some of the some the zones, scope out some
12:55
of the competition that's rolled up.
12:57
So are you guys like builders? You guys like mechanics?
13:00
TT's a builder. Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, I'm a I'm a
13:03
tech. I'm a tech.
13:05
Oh, OK, but I'm I'm newer to the to the vehicle to I normally am
13:09
like doing like weapons and electronics, but like I've been
13:12
getting really in to like land vehicle tech stuff.
13:15
So like this is so cool. Yeah, and I'm, I'm not like a
13:19
full on racing driver or anything, but I, you know, VV
13:23
once told me I was good at driving, so that gave me all the
13:26
confidence I needed. You got to be a good driver to
13:28
to race in a race. Yeah, I mean, I think I'm good
13:31
enough. Well, how about this TNC Coyote?
13:36
Were you building your car? You need someone to carry the
13:38
heavy parts for you, right? Awesome.
13:41
So true. Me, I'm pretty.
13:42
I'm pretty strong. But I am not saying you're not
13:45
I'm. Pretty strong.
13:47
So I'm I'd be willing to. Often just carry stuff.
13:51
My meat services. You probably will need to sauce
13:55
something at some point. Yeah, he can get all this stuff
13:58
off the highest shelves. That's true.
14:00
That's you're much taller than us.
14:02
I'm so short. That's and I usually I have to
14:05
lift up teensy to like grab stuff and it's honestly pretty
14:08
exhausting so I'll. Do all the heavy lifting.
14:12
Well, that sounds good. See, there you go.
14:13
You don't even need your bandmates.
14:15
Who needs? Teamwork.
14:16
Teamwork right here. All right, Well, where we go
14:20
now? So we, we, I guess we'll walk
14:25
around a little bit and just see, see what we got going on.
14:31
What do you not understand, Jeff?
14:33
What I don't understand is why did you sign up the West Wind
14:37
Pack without having a full crew? You.
14:40
I mean, listen, I appreciate the fact that you can count on me.
14:43
And you did have to be here. And then someone broke Norman's
14:46
leg. I had to send them all.
14:50
I just I I purposely have never jumped.
14:53
Last night in the pregame. Rave.
14:55
It's it's a tragedy. OK, I'll, I'll be the first one
14:57
to say it. OK?
14:59
He he didn't deserve that. Norman's a good guy.
15:01
Whatever happened to him, he didn't deserve it.
15:04
I'm just saying that it's kind of wild to me that again, I
15:09
appreciate that you can count on me and you can at any moment you
15:13
can call me and I'll be here to help you out.
15:15
You know that to be. True.
15:16
Listen to me. You're, you're charismatic and
15:17
shit. You can find a crew to build, or
15:19
at least, you know, improve some kind of vehicle for two days and
15:22
then race it through Widow's Gulch.
15:24
You've raced through Widow's Gulch before.
15:26
This ain't a normal race and you know as well as I do that the
15:30
that the junk run is about building as much as it is about
15:34
race. I just I purposely have have
15:40
avoided this race because what what are you going to do?
15:44
You know if. Your if your car breaks.
15:46
Down. Doesn't matter how good of a
15:48
driver you are. Car breaks down.
15:50
Dude, this thing's on a punk knock.
15:53
Your vehicle, whatever you want to call it.
15:56
Point is, I'll do it OK? I'll do it for you.
16:00
I'll do it for Norman. I'm just, I'm disappointed that
16:05
this is how I'm going to be doing.
16:08
My first junk run is in a bit of a ramshackle team getting a
16:15
ramshackle team together, but I suppose I suppose that is.
16:19
Kind of off all. Right, Rave.
16:24
Just just give me a second. All right?
16:26
Let me just sit here alone. Think about my next move.
16:30
You have us a drink. Oh.
16:31
You want me to fuck off? Is that what you're?
16:33
Saying I'm saying could could you go get me a whiskey?
16:39
Any buggers off to the bartender?
16:41
Well, Declan notices that Jeb is now alone with his head in his
16:44
hands and will quietly approach behind him and put a a racing
16:50
gloved hand on Jeb's shoulder. I know how you feel.
16:59
All right. Yeah, the fame, the money, the
17:02
attention, everybody looking at you, they love you.
17:06
They'll throw you away before you know it.
17:10
Throw out like a cyber eyed nuke too long in the dryer.
17:15
Wait. All right, My God, hold on.
17:18
Are you me from the future? I'll do it.
17:26
Oh my God, I got to say I look good.
17:29
I look good. I am keeping it together.
17:31
I'm a little disappointed that you decided to I you, me, we
17:35
decided to get rid of the hat, but.
17:38
But what? What are you talking about?
17:39
I'm not you from the future. Oh.

the trick there, didn't you? Yeah, it's not.
20:33
Well, what's my proudest moment, if I'm going to be real with
20:36
you? But Declan, can I call you?
20:40
Can I call you 3D? Sure, That's that's fine.
20:44
That's. Really fucking.
20:45
Cool now or Dick. Listen, it's kind of my thing.
20:49
I'm about a new name to call you every few times.
20:53
Jeb inspiration for that nickname.
20:54
That's brilliant. I was sitting on that one for a
20:57
while. Listen, I'm going to be honest
21:01
with you. I'm going to call you every name
21:04
till Sunday. It's going to be different every
21:06
time, but regardless of what I call you, you don't by any
21:10
chance happen to know a good mechanic or.
21:14
Sushi place No mechanic. Oh no, no.
21:18
I used to do all my own mechanics and.
21:20
I have a question for you, Declan.
21:21
Are you a nomad? Am I solo?
21:27
You're a solo. Yeah.
21:28
Cool. Yeah.
21:29
Yeah. Yeah, and that means you're so
21:31
low level. That gives you stuff in combat
21:33
that's really cool. So.
21:35
You can. Find those points.
21:36
I've activated that for you. You have 4 points to spend and
21:39
they'll automatically roll in the sheet for you and you apply
21:41
them. Cool.
21:42
Now, I don't know how else to say it, but I thought that was a
21:45
pretty good button, so let me try that one again.
21:47
Now, Jacqueline, you don't by any chance happen to know a good
21:53
mechanic. And we fade back outside, too.
22:00
I'm going to say that Jeb and Declan, like, walk outside of
22:03
the bar and you're now at the mouth of the bar.
22:05
Yeah. All right, you go left, I'll go
22:07
right. Look for a mechanic.
22:12
Where are they one? Time maybe this Her ex-boyfriend
22:17
called her and I and he had his kidneys missing.
22:23
What? And yeah, that was.
22:26
Crazy. Kidney robbery.
22:28
That's a good song name. I'm gonna write that one down.
22:30
Write it down. Write.
22:31
It down, write it down. And then this other time, BV and
22:36
Teen C and I, we we convinced BV to do drugs and she was really.
22:45
She used to be. She used to be anti drugs and
22:47
then we got her to do some drugs and then there's other.
22:51
Scamps, aren't you? She's always so like, you know,
22:56
put together well, you know, you never expect it.
23:00
Yeah, well, that's why she hangs out with us 'cause she she gets
23:05
to see no one's expecting anything from.
23:07
Her one time we went on a job and there was explosives in
23:13
blood. That's yeah.
23:15
I feel like most jobs have stuff like that.
23:17
Yeah, it's and then a couple weeks ago.
23:20
Is that right? Would this be a couple weeks
23:21
later? Yes, a couple weeks ago we had
23:24
to transport a body and cryogenic chambers that was AI
23:30
was a therapist. A.
23:32
Therapist. Yeah, yeah.
23:34
Have you? Do you do therapy a lot?
23:36
No, no. So that was your first time
23:39
doing therapy? Yeah, yeah.
23:42
You want to try therapy right now.
23:44
Yeah, yeah, you good I'm. 21 Yeah, Jeb.
23:48
You hear the word VV from the crowd and then you see in the
23:51
middle of the crowd this really big dude.
23:54
He's like 6-5, but way taller than most people in the crowd.
23:58
Grunge is grunge is anything wearing this big long leather
24:01
trench coat like jacket thing. And he's obviously got some
24:05
pretty well put together cyberwear on one of his arms.

24:11
You know Vivi, you know. Vivi.

24:22
Let me. See what we know what's going
24:23
on? Or anywhere possibly know that.
24:25
What are you talking about? I mean, they seem to know.
24:30
Wait, maybe they don't know my VV?
24:32
Let's go ask all. Right.
24:37
Hey, sorry, excuse me, did you say VV as in Yeah, my VV?
24:44
I don't know, Phoebe's my best friend, so she might not be our.
24:47
Best friend, our best. Friend, our I guess, our best
24:50
friend. You see saw like step in front
24:53

24:57
TCT, yeah. TCT Yeah.
24:59
TCT. TCT.
25:01
But do do I know Jeb? Like I never met him in person
25:04
during that thing, but would I recognize his?
25:07
Voice Technically you rode with him in the car because.
25:10
You jumped. Into the van.
25:11
He was driving even though he went under, isn't it?
25:13
Yeah. So he's ridden with Jeb.
25:15
Yeah. After you stole the Sandovisian
25:17
from the inside of that train. Oh.
25:19
Boy, then my reaction is TEB. Oh my God, do I know you?
25:27
I'm sorry, I have a notoriously and canonically bad memory.
25:32
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
25:34
You do lots of cool stuff, so you might not remember, but you
25:37
picked me and the crew up from a train after we robbed it and you
25:42
were getting pizza. And that was unfortunate, but.
25:47
That's right. I remember like it was
25:48
yesterday. It was it was a it was a it was
25:50
a meat, meat lovers on one side and a combo with with mostly
25:55
veggies on the other. And that's just how that's just
25:57
how VV likes it. Mostly veggies.
25:59
I don't understand it myself, but so you must.
26:01
Well, VV likes veggies because because she's really healthy.
26:04
She's she's, she's conscious of her health because she is a
26:08
medic, so. That is my VV.
26:11
Hi. I have no VV.
26:13
Yes BB. BB is my best friend so.
26:15
Oh. My God, BB is my best friend.

26:37
Hold on to. Do acting acting role.
26:40
Yeah, it could be acting, yeah. Yeah, yeah.

though. Oh, gotcha.
26:49
Yeah, 19. 19 If anyone wants to challenge him knowing Vivi, you
26:57
have to beat a 19 otherwise you believe him.
26:59
OK, Yeah, we all know Vivi. In fact, I bet if we all
27:04
together at the same time say her favorite color, it'll all be
27:07
the same color. Ready. 123 pink green.
27:13
Blue. I don't know.
27:15

28:45
I'm more like take it apart with the chainsaw.
28:47
But I could I could be useful. Yeah, to take apart the other
28:53

29:02
Yeah, punk nuts. Well, please.
29:05
And gentlemen. What's happening?
29:09
These games put it together for the Jugmaster.
29:18
So you're looking around for it and there's just a guy with his
29:20
arms folded, wearing basic aviator shades standing on the
29:24
stage. Hey everyone.
29:28
Crowds like. Super excited about it, garners
29:32
a decent applause as you will turn to look to the stage.
29:36
The Junk run begins very soon. Everybody All right, so this
29:41
year we've got three teams, the West Wind Pack, Zoners and the
29:46
Banana Game. That's a better name than, yeah.
29:50
That's such a cool. Is her name.
29:52
Sorry, Jack. Yeah.
29:53
Your name is. What is West?
29:55
What is West Wind? That's that's just my that's my
29:58
crew. It's I I I grew up as a W
30:01
Winder. Well, it should have been named
30:03
a banana. During the salvage portion,
30:07
which is over 2 days, we've got rooms for the for the for the
30:12
teams and, and we set up the big warehouse for them.
30:15
We moved all of the shit into the junkyard.
30:18
You will find out in the junkyard.
30:22
You'll find these these robots. And we are kind.
30:28
Of robots and use them. For turnouts underneath the
30:31
podium that is. Actually places it down the
30:33
stage that was. Kind of.
30:35
Wrong. It's a tiny robot.
30:36
It's got a big container on the top and it's got 4 legs.
30:41
These little Piggly Wigglies you guys have to chase and hold down
30:44
for the good stuff. You might find something else in
30:46
the trash, but these guys guarantee your shit teams.
30:52
Build your punk knot for the run through over half a mile of the
30:56
Widow's Gulch Canyon. They're the best team win.
31:00
Wait, the race is only a half mile?
31:01
It's. Very wiggly.
31:03
Jeb, I'm glad you're coming in. Oh.
31:09
My God it's only longer I think this.
31:12
You should think it would be too long you know.
31:13
Anyway, can the teams all come to me to confirm your members
31:17
and I'll lead you over to your pre made punk naughty base?
31:23
Pre made that seems. Like.
31:26
Weak sauce. I thought this was supposed to
31:27
be like, you know, cream of the crop.
31:30
Do you say that out loud too? Hell yeah.
31:34
I mean, it's a crowd. Is he really going to hear me?
31:37
Thank you. You're trying to get.
31:38
Really quiet, right? That moment, creamy he kind.
31:42
Of looks at you, it's. But not stick 7 days and we
31:46
don't have a, we have to make the basic part.
31:48
OK, I would you make. You you, you can upgrade it if
31:51
you're on the team. No, I mean, but like, did you
31:53
make a gourmet pasta dish with like Prego?
31:56
You know, like it's just, but you.
31:58
Don't. Know maybe that's gonna fall
32:00
after three days, so who gives a shit?
32:01
OK, alright. No, it's fine.
32:03
I don't know why you're singling me out in this crowd.
32:05
There's a ton of people here, but it's you got great hearing.
32:10
That's what makes him the best junk master, am I right?
32:14
Thank you everyone. I'll be here on the corner of
32:16
the stage for the two years. So I mean.
32:21
I guess. Are we all?
32:22
Inside the ball. As our most people out here,
32:27
yeah, all about the money these days.
32:29
So for me. It's about the money.
32:31
We're all on the West wind now. That's our our name can.
32:35
We can we change? That what do you.
32:36
Guys think maybe we should vote? I'll be the first one to admit
32:40
that it's not. It's just in terms of team name,
32:43
it's not great. Personally, I have an affinity
32:45
for it because, you know, I grew up as one of them.
32:48
And we, we've been around for a while and I think we have some,
32:52
we're made-up of some good people, some good principles,
32:54
but it's not a catchy name I will meet.
32:58
Well, it just, yeah, it's, I mean, it's like borderline or
33:02
West West wind. What?
33:03
What was the other West wind? Pack.
33:06
Pack. I'm sorry, I'm too.
33:09
I'm too in. Tack.
33:11
What about something like Danger Brigade?
33:14
I don't like that. Or danger brigade.
33:17
And the gang. I like that second one.
33:21
Yeah, we. Should If anything, we should be
33:23
like Phoebe's pals. You know, like we all have that
33:27
in common. What about like it's?
33:29
True. Phoebe's very good friends.
33:32
Like bone piston or something like that.
33:34
That's a little hunch. OK.
33:37
Bone piston, that sounds like you pissed in your bones.
33:39
Bone Piston. Oh, pissing in bones.
33:42
Good song name Coyote. Write it down.
33:45
Write it down. Now what if?
33:49
What if we are Vivi's voracious, voluptuous.
33:56
Oh, I don't know, villains. Villains.
33:58
What are the VB? Villains VB.
33:59
Villains. VB Villains.
34:02
Do you think we have to get permission from her to use her
34:05
lackness? Absolutely not.
34:06
She'll love it. I think she'll really like it.
34:09
What if? What if we listen?
34:12
What if we took the door off your van and put that as the
34:16
hood for the punk? Well so I have this whole I have
34:19
a ton of glow paint and stuff so if you want some art on.
34:22
It yes, the art is so good at art.
34:25
I can give us some some cool paint on our on our thing if we
34:30
want. In the distance, you can see the
34:33
junk master talking to two individuals.
34:36
One of them has a red mask over their face and they sort of
34:41
exchange a few words with the giant master, shake his hand,
34:43
point to the alley to the north and then nod and then sort of
34:48
wait nearby. The other guy, who has a piece
34:50
of cyber around the bottom half of his jaw does the same.
34:53
He's wearing a yellow T-shirt with big banana on his back and
34:56
he shakes hands with the guy and does like the most lame forced
35:00
cool handshake with him and then a mist fist bump and then kind
35:04
of looks down and is handed an envelope and then also waits by
35:08
the the the stage. I got to tell the junk master
35:11
our new name. VV Villains.
35:12
No, I don't trust you to do it. I don't trust you to do it.
35:14
I'm going to go. Do it come with me?
35:16
I'm not like. OK.
35:19
Whatever. Why can't we all go together?
35:21
Let's just all go together. Well, I just I just thought
35:23
that, you know, we'd have like the the leader of the crew go up
35:26
there and. That's right.
35:27
That's why I was going to go. The only way that's either VV or
35:30
or. Well, since I'm VV's best
35:32
friend, it should probably be me, right?
35:35
Look, I got an important presence.
35:37
How about it to me? That's that also tricks you out
35:40
to me. I don't think so.
35:42
I'm imposed. Thank you.
35:47
I think we can all go. Yeah, why don't you go up as a
35:51
team as. Move.
35:52
Your move your tokens over to the point of the speech.
35:54
I don't think we need a leader. If anything, babies are a
35:58
leader. She's just not here right now.
36:00
Oh, that makes more sense. OK, let's all go together.
36:04
Hey, what's up? We're we're changing our name on
36:06
on the registration. Yeah, we were doing as Westgate
36:09
pack, but. We're going as VV's villains
36:11
now. Well.
36:13
Yeah, more, more than Burgess. Leg No, actually, I was just
36:16
actually thinking, Mr. Master Sir, do you think VV's villains
36:19
is better or VV's volumptuous? Villains.
36:22
No, I don't like the volumptuous I.
36:25
Don't. OK, I don't have them put on
36:27
your game, guy. Oh, it's Jeb.
36:30
Oh, hey, Jeb. Hey, master you.
36:32
You can, you can name, you can name it whatever you want.
36:34
I'm I'm the junk master. Yeah, yeah, we got that.
36:38
He's you. You mentioned it on the stage.
36:41
Yeah, but you can. You can call me junk.
36:43
Frederick. Frederick, Yeah.
36:48
Maybe, maybe we should be called V VS Villains.
36:51
Brought to you by the Bubble Tea Cafe as a way to drive traffic.
36:57
Get us smart kick back from from this bubble tea cafe.
37:01
Or are we just doing this out of our kindness of our hearts?
37:04
You can't argue with that. I'll, I'll, I'll, I'll, I'll
37:06
swing it, you know, whatever you want.
37:08
All right, right, I love it. Also, TT can just say you are a
37:14
hell of a hap girl. I appreciate it.
37:17
Thank you. I feel like normally I'm the one
37:19
kind of hyping everyone but to have someone hap Mia.
37:24
The team is has to be 5 people ride when the race happens.
37:29
Here is 2000 eddies you can use to to spend on parts at the at
37:34
the shop over there and also they'll be salvaging happening
37:38
in about half an hour. Grab yourself some equipment and
37:40
add to the shops, check a vending machine and try not to
37:43
get into too much trouble. All right, yes, we're going to
37:46
be a no holds barred when it comes to the actual race, but
37:49
try not to be an asshole in the building phase.
37:52
All right, fine. Hey, there aren't any porta
37:56
potties here, are there? Actually, no.
37:59
Oh, OK. Just checking.
38:00
There's 2 bathroom buildings there.
38:02
Wow, you installed? Bathrooms.
38:04
In the desert, that's impressive. 0 and you what you
38:08
said. I live here.
38:09
You said that it was going to blow up at the end of the 7th
38:12
day. Installed bathrooms in chaos.
38:15
No, no, the vehicles are going to blow up.
38:18
No, I I live here in junk now. Oh Oh my apologies, my I thought
38:24
the whole like little campground goes up in smoke.
38:27
No, no, don't be fucking cooler. Burning Man.
38:30
That would be fat ass. Good stuff.
38:33
Well, cool. Thanks.
38:35
By the way, Junk Master. Mr. Junk Master, Man, I'm
38:40
Sarcophagus. You reached out to me about
38:42
playing tonight after the the build.
38:46
Saw, saw. Was it one second?
38:48
Sorry, Mr. Junk, Sir. 11 moment Hey, bud, I think you kind of
38:54
can't do the whatever you just said that that can't go.
38:58
We we can't be building a thing and you playing music right?
39:02
I mean, I'm, I'm, I'm not much of A builder, but look.
39:06
But if I'm if I'm rocking out and melting faces, you imagine.
39:11
Distracting the other teams, it's not really that idea.
39:15
But imagine everyone just, you know, if I tell everyone, you
39:19
know that 500 on VV's villains, how metal is that?
39:24
That's pretty. That's, I think, really metal.
39:27
I mean what, what? I couldn't think of another
39:29
better name for a neo death metal band to say, you know, go
39:35
VV's villains. VV's villains and and use all of
39:38
your money to bet on the winning team.
39:42
And that is us. VV's villains, Absolutely.
39:44
Yeah. OK.
39:46
I think I see what you're getting at.
39:47
That's pretty good. I'm, I'm knocking the flake on
39:51
you. I'm the last thing I am.
39:53
Is a flake all right? You know something?
39:57
I saw you from across the way, mostly because you're a very
40:00
large man, but thank you, because I could see you're in
40:04
your eyes, that you're a trustworthy man.
40:06
I, I, I get that a lot. I get that a lot, yeah.
40:09
I might be big and imposing. I'm inside.
40:13
I'm kind of a softy. I I have a cat.
40:17
His name's Mr. My Alphistophiles.
40:19
That's a really good name. I I.
40:21
Thank you, Coyote. Yeah.
40:23
I I also have a pet Sloan. Sorry, I had to stop the robot
40:28
from flying away. Come here.
40:31
Sloan's not a cat, he's a. She's a vulture, but she's
40:35
around here somewhere. I think she's having a little
40:37
snack right now. Hopefully it's not your cat
40:39
though. In.
40:42
This moment, Teensy, you see the robot pretty close up.
40:45
It's like right in front of you. Do you want to examine it to
40:48
learn anything about it before he puts it away?
40:50
Yeah. Oh yeah.
40:52
All right, roll for that. OK, that examine is not a thing.
40:57
Am I just doing perception? What am I?
40:59
You can you. I'm the GM that lets you roll
41:01
for anything as long as you can justify it.
41:03
So whatever you want, whatever you think is appropriate, and if
41:07
you're creative, all the better. Probably your basic tech.
41:11
It's probably your best sense. Yeah.
41:15
What is that under body control? Technical.
41:21
I made the window really tiny, now I had can't find anything.
41:25
I feel like this entire race with, I'm just realizing that
41:28
with like a banana people and this ragtag group that we're
41:33
putting together, we're getting awfully close to Wacky Racers.
41:38
21 You rode very well. Well done, Teensy.
41:41
I'm eye level with his with his waist.
41:44
So yeah, your eye level with it and it and it and it, it looks
41:48
at you. It has a little, it has a little
41:50
robot eye and sort of, sort of tweaks itself to the side.
41:56
Hello. Oh, so cute.
42:02
You say that floats. No job.
42:05
It's a turn of phrase. Yeah, but you did say early that
42:07
he's going to fly away. Metaphorically, did you draw
42:10
this? Yes, I did.
42:12
It's very good. Thank you very much.
42:15
That's cool little robot. And inside will be loot and he
42:18
it's a loot bug. The junk master looks at you
42:21
teensy, and he smiles. Hey.
42:23
Dickhead like me. Yeah.
42:26
He's my invention. They come in.
42:28
There's a bigger one too. They they love to squeal off.
42:31
Program them to run away. That's awesome, I can't wait to
42:35
catch them all. Yeah, don't worry about fucking
42:37
them up too. I'm glad they're easy to build.
42:39
So I just fucking tear them open, that's what.
42:42
That's what the crab wants to see.
42:43
He turns the crab, puts it up and.
42:45
Goes. Yeah.
42:48
He grabs it with his cyber arms and you see him sort of RIP the
42:52
back of it open and he pulls out.
42:55
This, this, this thing that's inside of it.
42:58
He pulls out. Oh my God, it's a.
43:00
Pinata. He pulls out a large piece of an
43:04
A fever engine and there's like a good chunk of like an extra
43:09
engine for a punk north. And then he sort of shoves it
43:12
into his bag and then throws the dead bot on the ground.
43:15
Just like that I. Want to sidle up sex with Coyote
43:18
and be like Coyote? Yeah, kick him in, love.
43:22
With him. Something.
43:23
Or with the robots. Oh, I don't know yet.
43:26
Oh. All right, I support you as long
43:30
as you're making decisions that don't put yourself in harm's
43:32
way. Awesome,
43:44
next time on no latency side quest. 2000 Eddies.
43:51
Coyote wants to get messed up. We have. 30 minutes until
43:54
salvaging. Seems like one of the other
43:56
teams broke your partners leg. I listen.
43:59
I thought it was an accident. I'm gonna go to shop.
44:00
First shop first, I don't. Know, but I've seen worse of my
44:04
years. Hi, I'm here to see what I could
44:06
possibly buy. We get too right?
44:09
So right now we're just starting with a floating platform.
44:12
It's not on the ground. Backup wheels wouldn't be a bad
44:14
idea. No one told me this was gonna
44:16
fly. Well, is there a limited supply
44:18
of your supplies? Let's go to vending machines.
44:21
So there. Is this like a red hair I?
44:23
Think we leave the boost but take the.
44:25
One excuse me Sir, my friend, she's in the bathroom and I'm
44:30
saving her spa. Don't hear me.
44:33
I'm here. Did you hear that?
44:34
I'm pretty embarrassed for him, Jeb.
44:35
I think we should get out of here.
44:36
Oh God, teens, he's going to be so mad.
44:38
This will help. That thing is pretty fuel
44:40
efficient I imagine, so I'm just going to let that thing run.
44:42
It's. Kind of nice in here.
44:43
You go on I I don't want to be noticed right now.
