0:02
Last time on no latency. Vigilantism.
0:06
You can call me for murder now. Exactly.
0:08
Oh boy. It's a much lesser sentence.
0:10
Sure is. Than does living in the future.
0:13
Because the person behind me is going to kill you if you don't.
0:15
I mean, is that not surprising? You try to head over to help
0:19
Retro I'm. Fine, it's just a little
0:21
bruising. And I don't want a police
0:23
officer to see that I have my hand on my weapon.
0:25
Recorded by Doctor Cat. Hey, careful.
0:28
Yeah, take a step. Names like that do tend to stick
0:31
in that city. You know, you could have just
0:33
walked around. It's not.
0:36
He cleared a van. You didn't have to jump over it.
0:38
Oh. My goodness.
0:39
CV Are you OK? Damn it I I didn't do my
0:43
stretches today. And I'm ready to jump in the
0:45
van. It's self-defense, bro.
0:47
At who's head? I learned it in self-defense
0:49
class. Retro, you've now dropped this
1:02
person in front of you. Do you do anything else?
1:05
No, he's on the ground. He's defenseless.
1:07
I'm not doing anything after that.
1:09
He hit me with a whip. DD you're on the ground.
1:13
I'm going to try to gather my senses and get back to reality
1:18
as I. It goes gravity.
1:19
Try not to. Fall over.
1:22
I'm a little shook from this shock and oh fuck I can't see
1:40
this guy in front of me. This is the one that Retro just
1:44
shot. No, the one that Retro just shot
1:48
is here. The one around her.
1:50
OK, yeah, it's like this. The the line of sight is so
1:54
annoying. And the copper, that's an NCPD
1:57
OK, that's an NCPD. That's.
1:58
A cop too. Yeah, these two are cops.
2:01
Yes, yes, yes. I'm not shooting NC NCPD.
2:07
I'm going to just try to. There's a guy here to your
2:11
north, and there's another guy behind a crate.
2:13
I'm going to like hobble over behind this crate here, take a
2:17
little bit more cover from the NCPD and and all that and just
2:26
try to shoot at one of these goons.
2:30
Roll for it. Let's see. 21 bullet flies
2:42
across the battlefield and hits this guy for a blazingly awesome
2:48
6 damage. Wow you rolled really bad on
2:53
damage that really hurt. You literally rolled A1A2 and a
2:55
three. Well done.
2:56
I'm not rolling well on my damage this evening.
2:59
You rolled really bad on damage? Ow, that really hurt.
3:04
We're still a bullet. And do you shoot again?
3:10
Yes, I do. Cool.
3:11
Oh yeah. Wow, that's fun.
3:17
I like that doggies. And you caused 13 damage this
3:21
time, which is much more effective than that.
3:22
Oh. Even better, that's not what I
3:24
meant. And then you sort of lean
3:27
against this crate as you recover from your slightly.
3:30
Yeah. Right.
3:32
The undercover cop is running across the street and he rolls
3:37
evasion. He rolls a crit, success makes
3:40
it across the street and then. Give me the situation.
3:45
I got shocked and I'm in a lot of pain.
3:47
Right, right. Cool.
3:52
What's happening This guy? That guy's knocked out, those
3:54
guys, guns jammed and the van got away.
3:57
This operation is fucked. And he goes to, he loads his gun
4:04
because he has no one insight to shoot.
4:07
The other guy steps out here it is, and goes to shoot.
4:10
The police officer loads his gun up and shoots for a 20, hitting
4:17
the shocked officer for five damage.
4:21
And the guy falls over and falls back into this, into the gutter
4:25
of the street. Ow fuck Captain, they're armed.
4:31
Yes, no shit. So can he shoot twice?
4:34
He can. Oh, he's Gun Jones.
4:37
Motherfucking you got to be fucking kidding me.
4:45
So I've run so many crib fails. It's something in the air.
4:49
It's something in the air, Jeb. In the meantime, you're like 1/2
4:53
a block away in a green van and I only told you to drive back.
4:57
What do you do? Jeb's going to pull the E brake,
5:01
do a sick U-turn, drift and just step on the gas.
5:07
All right. Are you driving the correct way
5:09
or are you driving against traffic?
5:11
I'm driving the correct way because there's a little gap
5:13
right here that I did cross the street.
5:15
So I know this exists and I'm going to try to do a little
5:20
drift through there and then pull up right next to him and
5:22
then hit him with a everyone get in if I can make it there in
5:26
time. OK this round rather.
5:28
Sure, roll a driving check. Oh, that's bad.
5:35
Oh God, there's no E brake you. Go.
5:38
You go to make the turn and the van crashes into the medium.
5:43
Yeah. Shit, close enough.
5:46
Everyone get in. It's so heavy with those
5:48
batteries. It's very, very heavy with the
5:51
batteries inside and they rumble around in the back.
5:54
Roll me an evasion check. One of the loose batteries flies
5:59
through the passenger side window and breaks it open and
6:04
lands in the street and the cable snaps off.
6:06
They're all in parallel, so it won't stop the circuit from
6:08
charging, but it rolls across the street.
6:11
There's like a battery now on the street.
6:13
Oh shit, don't touch that. But everyone get in hurry.
6:16
Come on, get the hell out of here.
6:20
You can use the rest of your turn if you want to drive to the
6:23
place that you intended outside the bus stop.
6:25
If I if I don't do that, then can.
6:30
You can shoot Nah. No, I'm trying to drive like
6:33
here ish. Yes, that's what I'm saying.
6:35
You can drive there. That's what I'd.
6:37
Like to do roll another driving check.
6:39
I hope it's not bad. 30 yes, you do a six point turn in the
6:46
middle of this. It's like that scene from Austin
6:50
Powers and they are now parked in a bus lane.
6:52
Hey. You can't park.
6:56
There parking in a bus lane is a crime.
6:58
Can that be a new NCPD thing? It's just announcing blank is a
7:03
crime all the time. I love it.
7:06
That's really funny. All right, 22 causing 13 damage
7:11
on this guy who shot you. He falls to the ground, takes
7:16
critical injury, and you watch his hand fly off his hat, his
7:21
arm. Oh.
7:26
Fuck it, force my gun and now no hand this.
7:29
Guy has no hand. He's pissing a hand.
7:33
Well, let let's hear it for him. What's the sound of one hand
7:36
clapping? That guy knows.
7:38
Oh, John, I'm so sorry. This friend tries to shoot,
7:41
causing a rolling a great success on ah that's the wrong
7:47
sheet that's less never mind that doesn't 19 that still hits
7:55
nice hits the officer for eight damage pretty good pretty good.
8:03
The officer, however, is wearing really, really good offer and
8:06
merely takes a little bit of that, a fraction if you will.
8:10
It is, but a flesh wound gaggers, and he takes a step to
8:16
his right. I don't know.
8:17
I don't like the way he said that.
8:21
The guy who's on the ground tries to get up rows of nine,
8:26
gets back up, walks forward and then shoots, oh, his sheet
8:30
works. Now that says, oh, causing, oh,
8:35
that's bad for that guy. Oh, that's so bad because
8:39
there's another critical injury to this guy.
8:42
You see his his left knee invert and he falls to the ground.
8:46
And as he gets to the ground, another errant bullet flies
8:50
through the left side of his jaw.
8:52
His head twists to the side and he falls to the ground there.
8:56
Resisting arrest. He's a crime.
9:01
He's a crime now you're dead. Oh shit, that guy's dead.
9:07
I don't know. Should we just get in the van?
9:09
Yeah, since the the van is here, Vendel can sweep me off my feet
9:14
into the van. All right, Vendel picks.
9:17
You up feet. Roll have Vendel roll brawling.
9:21
Roll Brawling. Meanwhile there's like 3 people
9:28
at that bus stop. It's just supposed to be like.
9:33
Oh Night City fuck. One of them is actually trying
9:40
to get into the van, just trying to get on the bus.
9:43
Yeah, and these. Are.
9:45
You are thrown into the van and Vendel's skirts round to the
9:49
back. I'm in a sketch like in the
9:52
video games. Damn, that's so cool.
9:55
I'm so cool. That is, that is, that is very
9:58
cool. Vendel just don't get shot.
10:01
Vivi get in the van retro you probably should get van a white,
10:07
but everyone else should cool should slide into the van.
10:09
Yep, on my way. Yep.
10:11
Come on, come on, come on. Vivi's limping.
10:16
I'll hop along over. Iona, you are now in the
10:19
passenger side of this van that you've never sat in, and it
10:21
smells. Oh, it does smell.
10:23
It smells very bad it. Smells like desperation and
10:28
crime. I'm going to I'm going to squirt
10:32
the latex on the seat instead of on my head.
10:34
Oh, that's so smart. That's really smart.
10:36
I love that. All right, Yeah.
10:37
You create like a little waterproof seat.
10:41
Yippee. That's you do anything else with
10:46
your turn? No, the middle of come back.
10:48
It must be Cane. The boss is unconscious on the
10:54
ground. Retro it is your turn.
10:58
Bossing patches the ground. That guy's dead.
11:00
That guy's next to me still alive through there.
11:06
Do you run for the van? I'm with everything that's in
11:12
that way. Not fucking chance I'm I'm just
11:22
going to make a run for across the across the street.
11:28
Mad dance. Great.
11:31
What's your move? My move is 6.
11:39
All right, so if you're running, your move is 12.
11:43
So normally you can, yeah, yeah, yeah.
11:45
So you can move where is the measuring tool thing?
11:51
So the van is literally your run speed away 120 feet.
11:56
But I gotta, I gotta hop over the, I gotta hop over the
11:59
cruiser. Yeah, raw athletics.
12:01
Are you also going to jump over a car that's pretty on bred?
12:07
Well, it's not as cool as when the NCP guy did the fucking van.
12:11
Or me, I'm cool. I did a cool thing.
12:14
Well, you're always cool. Thank you.
12:17
Keep running Retro Jump. Athletics 15 Yes, that's enough.
12:24
You jump over the vehicle, just all the way across the street.
12:27
Roll Evasion. Oh shit, I'm not good at that
12:31
one. Evasion 20 You narrowly miss a
12:36
purple van without a license plate and you get to Vanna White
12:44
VB. You are now the only person left
12:45
on the battlefield. Retro has just left you behind.
12:50
Thanks Retro for the. Help.
12:52
You got the van on the other side.
12:54
Oh, you know what? I'm not.
12:55
I don't. I don't need you to explain
12:56
myself. But do it.
12:57
What? Are you going to do Vivi?
13:04
Wait, the van on the other side. OK, I I'm just going to hobble
13:10
over. So there's a green van that Jeb
13:12
and Iona and Vendel are near, and that's the one that's full
13:17
of batteries. It's got a lot of power in it.
13:20
Yeah, I'm going to hobble over to that one.
13:24
All right, roll something because you are hurt.
13:30
Yes. 2040 feet away. It's not that far.
13:37
Athletics 18 yes, you jump into the back of the van.
13:41
There's lots of batteries in there, so you have to stand and
13:43
hold on to it. Like when you're on the bus and
13:47
the cop turns around and watches you get into the van.
13:52
Wait, no, get back. Here he runs towards the van.
13:57
Iona, you did sort of hold your turn.
13:59
The cop is coming towards the van.
14:03
It's not like I'm going to shoot him.
14:06
No. Now I'm going to lock the door.
14:10
You're. Going to lock.
14:13
It all right. I'm going to have him roll
14:15
something to see if he can get the vehicle open.
14:17
He starts to try his best. He rolls an 11, not enough to
14:20
break open the door of this vehicle, and he's now banging on
14:23
the back. That guy's dead.
14:25
It's Jeb's done. I mean, everyone's in the car,
14:30
right? Yes.
14:32
Yes, well, I'm sketching, but yes.
14:34
I almost get the hell out of here.
14:39
Roll driving Check 27. You pull away in this van full
14:48
of batteries, which has enough power apparently to do the thing
14:52
you need. Retro gets in Vanna White and
14:55
drives N to meet you somewhere else and combat is over.
15:00
That's not what I expect you to do.
15:02
All right, all right. Stay calm.
15:04
We got to find a place for Lilo and Retro.
15:07
Are you on calm? Can you hear me?
15:11
Retro come in. Retro Retro come in.
15:17
Retro what? Oh, there you are.
15:19
All right. I mean, are we just going to
15:21
meet back at at the bar or what, where, where can we plug these
15:26
batteries in and do the whole electrical, the triangle thing?
15:30
Well. We yeah, we can probably go back
15:32
in the bar. Probably better, actually.
15:35
We could set it up a lot better than in the pack of a fan.
15:40
All right, meet you back at the Meet you back at the bar.
15:44
Cool, give me a beer if we get there first.
15:47
Yeah, All right, bud, No problem.
15:50
And as you look over to the passenger side, you can see Iona
15:54
is dancing. No, that's Vendel, but that's
15:58
for the sketching. Right, OK, my apology.
16:02
All right, so you look through your side, your right side view
16:05
mirror and you can see Bendel doing cool roller skate like hot
16:11
chick stuff, you know what I mean?
16:15
Do you know what I mean though? You know what I mean?
16:17
Like braver, like cross leg and moving really like fluidly.
16:21
No one know what I'm talking about.
16:23
What is that called? I.
16:26
Got. I got the visual.
16:27
I got it, yeah. It's like, you know, summer,
16:29
it's, it's, it, it feels like you can hear summer, summer,
16:32
summer time behind them as the the flow of their moves work in
16:36
the wind as you drive through the streets of Night City.
16:42
Very cool. Very cool.
16:46
I'm very. Cool, I I started taking a video
16:49
for the garden. I'm really going to sprout out
16:54
on that. I hate the future.
16:58
I didn't get that one. Can you, can you, can you, can
17:01
you explain that one? That one right over my ear.

18:43
Retro roll a driving check. Oh yeah, I'm so good at driving,
18:48
I don't even know where it's at. That's a good sign.
18:57
Drive lane vehicle 13. You make it back to the bar
19:03
after everyone else. That is very mid.
19:06
You hit some traffic, you do not have any real spare time, but
19:11
when you arrive back, the crew are parked in the alleyway.
19:15
I think bad happens, you just don't get there, get there
19:18
before they do. It seems the plan could be to
19:22
set up the battery bank in that abandoned building across from
19:26
Crystals by Joy. Do we?
19:30
Own that. Yeah, Domino's.
19:35
Oh well, all right, who's going to help me carry all these God
19:40
damn batteries in the air? I'll help you.
19:43
Not me. Can't you use a grab lift?
19:47
Just. We do have a grab lift and
19:51
downstairs. We do have.
19:52
I'm going to go get it. I'll be right back.
19:54
Don't we have like a basically a super soldier robot man?
20:00
That could maybe help us out. There is also that.
20:03
That's a good point. Vivi, are you OK?
20:07
I'm. Hanging in there, I might need
20:12
to, you know, just rest for a bit.
20:15
I might have suffered. Was it like a potential I hit my
20:20
head right? You hit your head and you got
20:22
mildly shocked. I I.
20:25
We saw your skeleton. I don't think it was mildly
20:27
shocked. I may also have like a small
20:32
concussion. I should probably get that
20:33
checked out. Scan yourself one moment.
20:40
You put out your scanner. I get myself checked out.
20:49
Initial scan. Out of the 12.
20:51
But was trauma to the head area, various contusions, mildly
20:55
shocked, evidence of concussion, singed area on the dermis due to
21:01
electric shock. Most damage scan is superficial.
21:04
First aid required. DB11 Trauma team Stay stay stay
21:08
alive for the company. Yeah, I'll be better in a couple
21:14
of hours. Just need a little time to rest,
21:18
that's all. Well, you can do that.
21:23
After you help me, I'll get the batteries inside here.
21:30
Come on everybody, pitch in. Yeah, yeah.
21:34
Where is this going it? Goes it goes in that that
21:39
building right there. This one over here.
21:41
Yeah, yeah, we got. Use your legs, don't use your
21:45
back. We're all athletics.
21:48
A little too late for that. Oh, back thrown out.
21:54
So there are just over 100 batteries in this thing.
21:58
Oh, you start. You're the big man.
21:59
Ship shipping them back and forth, they're all about the
22:02
size of a car battery, but they have a lot more energy density
22:05
than that. And you hold them into the other
22:08
building and they're all sort of set up in a grid on the ground.
22:12
Roll athletics. Anybody who touches a battery
22:16
has to roll athletics. That won't be me.
22:22
I brought the grab lift. This gives us all a + 1.
22:25
All right. I also brought a folding chair
22:30
for VB because it looks like she needs to sit down.
22:32
Here you go. Vandel spins their hand and the
22:35
chair folds out. Put it in front of you.
22:40
I appreciate that. You got it.
22:43
Finger guns. Skating time.
22:46
Then they'll skates around the alley and Jeb, I'm just waiting
22:55
for an athletics check from you. Oh, I just, I, I was just like,
22:59
oh, I'll just take, I'll just take it thrown out back.
23:02
But let's let's do it. 19 Yeah, although your back does hurt a
23:07
little bit after carrying so many, because it's quite a few.
23:10
Over the period of about 15 minutes, you managed to help
23:15
Retro put them in a grid on the ground in this abandoned
23:19
building across from Crystals by Joy, and they're now in a grid.
23:24
Well, good work everyone. I guess we can start the
23:27
triangle. Well, I mean, they're just on
23:31
the ground. They do need to be like set up
23:32
as a battery bank, but yes. Oh, yes, oh, I, I, I will go
23:38
ahead. We all know.
23:42
All right, This is again, this is what I get paid to do.
23:45
All right, so you all go have a good time.
23:50
I'll get to work on building this battery bank.
23:55
The the bar is like covering cost of this, right?
23:58
I'm not coming out of my pocket for it.
24:02
We we never asked Domino probably.
24:04
Should I just ask him afterwards?
24:05
Just start, he'll be fine. OK, so I'll just invoice you.
24:09
I guess. Cool, I get to work.
24:14
All right, Retro roll basic tech, and everyone else heads
24:17
down into the bar. We sure do.
24:24
Retro basic tech 28 yes, you are going to fiddle with that for
24:31
the next 5 to 7 minutes. Wow, I'm just.
24:35
Having Meredith Brooks blasting out while I'm building it.
24:39
I'm a bitch. I'm one of the other.
24:42
I'm a child. That used to be my favorite song
24:48
when I was younger. And the rest of you walk into
24:52
the bar with Domino hanging over the map table.
24:58
Friends, how did the capacity gig go?
25:04
Well. We got the batteries.
25:08
What? Batteries.
25:11
Well, we got the goodies. But we needed a lot of power.
25:15
Why is your hair so frizzy, baby?
25:17
What happened? I got fried you.
25:20
Got fried? Oh no.
25:22
I got shocked. Oh, right, so you're not high in
25:25
cholesterol, ha ha ha, because fried food is.
25:31
That it took me a minute, but good one.
25:34
In downloading comedy, obviously it's the wrong part of the
25:37
company. What happened?
25:46
You didn't cause a lot of noise or attention, did you?
25:53
Yeah, how about that? It was maybe a little bit of
25:59
unwanted attention from some some gonks and you know, the
26:05
NCPD. Yeah, apparently parking in a
26:09
parking in a bus lane is in fact a crime.
26:13
Did you park in a bus lane and burn a white?
26:15
They can track US, you know. Yeah.
26:19
No, no, it was not venal white. It wasn't venal.
26:22
White. Yeah, great.
26:23
Was in the vicinity. Yeah.
26:25
Oh, good. All right.
26:26
Well, as long as you didn't bring the vehicle that did that
26:28
here, then we're fine. Oh.
26:32
We get rid of the vehicle. Oh, is it here?
26:35
We probably get rid of that then.
26:37
Yes, we should do that right now all.
26:40
Right. Where's Retro?
26:43
Where's Retro? I hope we set up the batteries
26:46
through the triangling. Retro.
26:49
Retro, I'm calling you over our devices.
26:52
What are you doing? Well, I'm building the battery
26:56
bank. Didn't the rest of the crew tell
26:58
you what battery bank, the battery bank with all the
27:01
batteries that we just got did? You steal a bunch of batteries
27:05
from someone with somebody charging.
27:09
They were charging the batteries, yeah.
27:11
And then we took the batteries, yeah.
27:13
That's a better option than using the power grid.
27:17
That's exactly what I thought when I stole the batteries.
27:22
Very smart crew. I'll give you a bonus for this
27:25
one. It's not what I expected at all.
27:28
Also, Domino, I'm going to make sure like I'm going to invoice
27:31
you the cost of building this, yeah.
27:34
Yes, that is fine. Of course with our major
27:38
discount for our our friendship. Excellent.
27:45
Oh OK, I didn't know you were like that fam Cool.
27:52
I detect honesty. Excellent.
27:54
All right, you guys get rid of the ban and come back here when
27:58
Retro is done. Is that what you guys are doing?
28:04
You're getting rid of the van? Yeah.
28:06
You should get rid of the van. You should get rid of the van.
28:08
I'm I'm. I'm also going to peel the latex
28:12
up off of this the seat so it can't be traced back to us.
28:17
Oh, that looks so satisfying. It is.
28:20
It's really nice. Could we?
28:23
Maybe, you know, scrap the take, maybe take a Tunis and he can
28:29
take apart the van and then we could, you know, maybe use it
28:32
for parts later on or something. That's such a good idea.
28:35
We should, we should take this van that is wanted by the NCPD
28:38
and bring it to one of our friends so he's complicit.
28:40
OK, that's what I was thinking, yeah.
28:46
All right. I guess you're getting this
28:50
green van. You're just taking the green
28:53
van. Yeah, right.
28:58
All right. Jeb gets in the green van after
29:01
saying like, yeah, sounds great. You guys coming or or what?
29:12
Nobody replies, apparently. I think I should rest for a bit,
29:22
so I'm going to stay here. Vivi, you go lie down in one of
29:28
the booths. Yes.
29:30
Nice. Excellent.
29:31
Who goes with Jeb? Sorry Jeb, I can't go with you.
29:35
I'm nuts deep right now in this. I don't know.
29:38
We going with Jeb? Tutu knows, yes.
29:42
OK, all right. Are you going to put a new Latex
29:47
on the seat? Oh, I just peeled this up, yes.
29:53
Squirt, squirt, squirt. Excellent sound of thing and you
29:58
all head to Tunas. You drive up to Tuna's gate in
30:02
this hot vehicle. Jeb, this actually is an
30:06
important driving Jack. You've got to avoid the police
30:10
as you make your way here. I'll drive you Jack, OK?
30:18
See this panel? I get it.
30:19
Gone. You're kidding me.
30:22
You roll a crit 33 and you make it to Tunas.
30:26
You drive into his lot and he's standing there in the open
30:30
parking area making a cigarette. You're right.
30:34
What's going? On Joe Hey, Tuna, listen, this
30:39
this lane is kind of kind of hot and I'm thinking maybe you could
30:44
take it apart and then you and you can keep whatever you want
30:48
from it. And then, but you know, I'm just
30:51
thinking that maybe in the future if we ever need to
30:54
replace a part on van or light or something, you can take it
30:58
from here or from the credit that you gain from all the money
31:01
that you do that you get from selling the parts or whatever.
31:06
When you say hawk. Oh, I mean they do.
31:08
There used to be some batteries in there and we stole them from,
31:14
I don't know, some gas or something.
31:16
And yeah. OK, so you want a scrap deal?
31:22
Yeah. All right, so you, you're giving
31:25
me a vehicle, The high Iona. Nice to see you, Van Doll.
31:28
I'm sorry I I've I'm still trying to peel the latex off the
31:32
seat again. All that peel.
31:33
Look at that. That process for you anyway.
31:38
So you brought me a stolen vehicle.
31:40
Uh huh. Wednesday.
31:41
Yeah. Right, all right.
31:48
Were you followed? No.
31:51
Oh, OK. Well, I mean that that makes
31:55
this very simple, I guess, to scrap a vehicle.
31:57
And you want me to hold on to the parts, All of them?
31:59
Some of them? Oh, I'm just thinking that
32:01
you'll kind of think of just like in advance.
32:04
OK. All right, well.
32:08
I mean, if you want to just take a look at it, maybe do a little
32:11
little walk around and see if there's anything good in there,
32:13
maybe we could, you know, kind of take it from from this piece
32:17
of junk and put it onto our piece of junk.
32:19
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. All right.
32:21
Well, let me have a look, looking over the vehicle.
32:33
Vehicle tech. I'm vehicle tech.
32:35
That's what I'm doing. I'm rolling my vehicle tech.
32:38
Where is it? There it is.
32:41
All right. Good.
32:42
Yeah. Oh, I've sent me to GM Whisper.
32:45
Let's do that again. Rolls a crit 33.
32:50
Will oh, what are you seeing? Oh, fuck, there's brand new
32:57
turbo in this. Holy shit.
33:02
This thing's worth an absolute fortune.
33:06
Brilliant. Well, that's an easy deal.
33:09
All right, I'll scrap the rest of the vehicle, get rid of the
33:12
plates, pulling parts out of it, but there is a scrapping fee.
33:20
Well, can't you just take because?
33:21
I put myself in danger in it. Well, sure, but I'm just saying
33:24
maybe you could, I mean, I'll. Give you discount in the future,
33:27
but you've got to give me some cash to because you're
33:29
essentially paying me to get rid of this vehicle because it's hot
33:31
right like. Oh, I was thinking maybe I was
33:33
thinking it more like a like a gift, you know, like.
33:37
But the deal is kind of kind of like a little sour because
33:39
you're giving me stolen goods, right?
33:41
Yes, yes or no? I mean, I I guess, well, we
33:45
could just go run it into the river.
33:48
You could, but then of course that involves roll.
33:51
That involves driving it through the city again and getting it's
33:54
behind walls right now. So you got to do a good deal.
33:58
You got to wheel and deal me or you got to pay me a lot of
34:00
money. That's why it's up to you.
34:02
What about I mean. You know, I'm just, I'm just
34:05
thinking, you know, I do list for you and I give you all the.
34:09
All the stuff I know, I know I get that, but I do have, I do
34:12
have like 16 is fine for trading.
34:15
I get that you're a mate. Yeah, I'll do.
34:18
I'll do the scrap for, I'll do the scrap for 1200 because
34:21
normally I charge like 2 grand. That's a big discount.
34:24
Just let me get this straight. I'm paying you 12 grand and
34:28
you're going to scrap the car and then presumably make money
34:34
off of the scrapping. Yeah, but I'll tell you what,
34:38
your next repair is free. OK.
34:42
Well, I'm going to be honest. Iona.
34:45
Iona. I I.
34:47
Feel like 12 grand is kind of kind of steep.
34:49
I don't know, maybe we just drive 12. 100 I didn't say 12
34:52
grand. Oh good Lord.
34:53
OK, 1200. Yeah, doesn't that sound better?
34:57
That sounds, that's like a, that's like a 10X discount from
35:01
what I originally thought. You know you got a social deal.
35:04
So that's 1200. Nice, nice trade in.
35:09
And I and I guess you, you, you, you're, you're, I don't really
35:15
know how you're going to get home.
35:17
Oh, I think we'll, we'll, we'll take a, we'll take a boober.
35:22
All right. Yeah, Yeah.
35:24
Do you take it? You take a car.
35:26
I don't, I think. I think we'll just get a
35:27
biotechnical car, won't we? I own it.
35:29
Oh, I'll just order 100. Take take a look my my bank
35:33
account now says I have 5555. That's a nice round Number.
35:39
That's very nice of you to pay that on behalf of everybody.
35:42
Nice. All right, James, I'll, I'll see
35:45
you later. And Tuna starts taking the
35:47
vehicle apart. I tuna have fun.
35:49
I hope you make good amount of money on that.
35:51
That's just just remember that's a little little gift from from
35:55
us and no latency to you and I look forward to seeing that new
36:00
turbo in in Vanna wild here in a bit.
36:03
All right, take Care now. See.
36:04
You. Later, there you go.
36:08
Tuna is always such a good guy, you know?
36:10
I appreciate it. Upstanding citizen willing to do
36:14
a little bit of dirty work underneath the table, but
36:16
that's. What he's good for and you're
36:22
going to put a turbo in Van of Wine is that.
36:25
Well, you know it, that turbo that was sitting in there, I can
36:28
barely feel it, you know, with all the all the weight in the
36:31
back. But with that in Van of Wine, I
36:33
think she's cooking. Oh, I couldn't tell that thing
36:38
was fast by how heavy it was. Right.
36:41
Yeah, 100 batteries, if you could believe it.
36:43
Yeah, so Pendel, where's that car?
36:47
Oh, it's it's it's it'll be here in just it's coming around the
36:50
corner. Look on the tracking app.
36:52
There it is and here they are. Hello.
36:55
Jeb, you don't need any of the snacks, please.
37:00
Oh, do they charge Jason for that?
37:02
Oh, but but they got but they got sour gummy raccoons.
37:09
They have little thumbs. OK, you can have you can have
37:12
one sour gummy raccoons pack. Don't you get something?
37:18
You got the gummy raccoons. Awesome.
37:22
And you're charged 17 eddies for the gummy raccoons.
37:24
Gosh. Totally worth it.
37:26
They better be good. Totally worth it.
37:28
Gummy raccoons are the best. They're rare to find.
37:31
You make your way back to the bar, retro roll another basic
37:34
tech. There it is.
37:37
Oh, that's not good. Grip fail like.
37:40
I was still at 20 the yeah. Exactly.
37:44
But it's still, it's still a grip fail.
37:47
Retro, you are working on the batteries.
37:51
And as Iona, Vendel, and Jeb arrive in the alleyway, I'm
37:59
going to say that Vivi's smoking a cigarette.
38:01
Just so you can witness this moment, Retro is blown out of
38:07
the front door of the other building and flies into the
38:10
alleyway, landing on his bum and takes 2D6 damage.
38:15
Oh, retro across. The ground and he like shakes
38:20
slightly as he's been electrocuted.
38:21
His face glitches a little bit and he's he's been shocked
38:25
rather and he like stands up. Is your skeleton OK?
38:32
I shouldn't laugh. That was that was something
38:38
retro. You're OK.
38:39
The batteries are ready. Just I don't know if anybody
38:44
remembers the Mr. Yuck sticker. Just the Mr. Yuck sticker is my
38:49
is my face right now. Just oh.
38:53
That's Oh well. So I found out why they call it
39:04
potential energy. Because potentially it could
39:09
kick your ass. Yeah, don't fuck with a neutral
39:12
like that. Thing is a hidden weapon just
39:15
waiting to hit. Like you think the hot's bad.
39:17
Oh. I really thought that your
39:19
performance with the batteries would be more grounded.
39:24
Well, to be honest. Come on, that was I I thought
39:28
about that one in the car the whole way here.
39:31
I chuckled. That was good.
39:34
Thank you. It was my fault.
39:35
I'll be honest, it's kind of down because of course I'm
39:39
building it all by myself. So I took a little Molly.
39:44
I was dancing, you know? Not resist torture drugs.
39:49
I'm still high. Is, is, is.
39:51
Retro sweating currently. Probably.
39:55
Wait, how do I sweat? I forget.
39:59
In. Your armpits.
40:01
You have those. Oh yeah, sorry.
40:04
I was like, well, it could be moreover.
40:06
Yeah, it's not. Your screens also fogged up
40:09
because you're perspirating. You guys do the weirdest shit.
40:14
You guys did this, did this. This thing just needs power, and
40:17
you've gone in the weirdest way. I love it.
40:19
This is fantastic. How could I ever have planned
40:22
for any of this? I couldn't because you're In
40:24
Sync. Couldn't.
40:26
Resist sort of drugs. Why is your resist torture drugs
40:28
so low? Because I keep wanting to stay
40:33
high. Because you keep wanting to stay
40:35
high. Well, you are tripping balls and
40:39
sweating profusely from your neck and it's sort of making
40:41
your collar wet. So even though I've got the the
40:44
Mr. like Yuck sticker for a face at the moment, my body is still
40:49
dancing as I'm like singing along though.
40:51
Like let me think like Sean Paul.
40:55
Like I've got Sean Paul's shake that going on him or sorry,
40:59
let's get busy. That's it.
41:00
Remember that song? Shake that thing.
41:04
Yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
41:05
The shake, that thing. Yeah, yeah.
41:06
Yeah. It sounds like the B side from
41:09
that DJ Qualls album. He's the new kid.
41:16
That's the name of his third album, The New Kid.
41:20
What's the one in which he went down to the center of the earth?
41:24
Core. Just death.
41:32
It's it's death metal. It's just core.
41:35
It's just core, core that's. It Yeah, it's just core, core.
41:37
All right, we've got our battery.
41:40
Should we should we try and find out where our unbelievable enemy
41:43
is? I guess it's time.
41:48
Yes. I guess it's time.
41:50
Unbelievable enemy. You make your way downstairs to
41:56
the bar and Ping has set you all out drinks to celebrate.
42:08
Well, friends, I believe a toast is in order.
42:18
You read? Yes.
42:20
Well, what do we? What do we tears into?
42:24
To finally finding out where the syndicate is after I turn on the
42:29
triangulation or drain the batteries upstairs, pull a tiny
42:33
bit of power from the because you turned on one of the
42:36
capacitors, and finally work out where the target is.
42:43
OK, this is. Going to be This is going to be
42:48
a big ping. It's going to be a very big
42:51
ping. What bang or not, I'm going to
42:54
need help from Flash. Rebuilt.
42:58
I got you. All right, let's call him up or
43:03
ring a Ding Ding. I opened fucking Fresh's page.
43:12
HelloFresh, Hello. Hi.
43:14
How's it all going? Hi, Brad.
43:16
Weird. The the line like connected but
43:20
I couldn't hear you and I don't think you could hear me.
43:22
It was weird. I'm here.
43:24
Sorry. I was.
43:25
My phone was on. Silence.
43:27
What's going on? Well, we're going to need your
43:32
help. Hello Furnish.
43:35
Oh, hi, Domino. What's going on?
43:36
Are we doing the the big triangular nation?
43:40
We are, we are doing the big triangular nation.
43:43
All right, I'm going to. I'm going to Jack him.
43:49
I always feel weird. All right, I'm jacking roll
43:52
interface. I will as soon as your page
43:57
opens fresh. Give me one moment.
44:00
Still hacking. Sorry everyone.
44:04
There's a lot of like it's a connection thing.
44:06
Yeah, I really should get an office at the bar.
44:07
I'm so. Far away.
44:08
Well, you know. When my work.
44:11
Is still warm. It all isn't.
44:12
Awesome, that's a bad idea. Actually.
44:14
We should make an office for fresh Which.
44:17
Is true. Nice, I'd love to be closed,
44:19
that way we could talk more. Yeah, you know.
44:26
Wait, what? You come inside, you don't have
44:29
to come into the office every day, just.
44:31
Working from. Home.
44:34
Couple. Couple days a week.
44:36
But. If he lived in the bar then he
44:38
wouldn't be working from home. You're working home.
44:42
Nice to Rodney. I'm doing all right.
44:45
I'm doing a hack. All right, let me just get OK,
44:50
that wasn't good. OK, that wasn't very high.
44:52
So I did take a little bit of damage, but I'm OK with anything
44:56
and I've got in. All right, I'm ready to monitor.
45:01
Domino pulls out an interface plug and jacks it into the table
45:06
and watch his eyes light up in green.
45:09
You know I can't see his pupils at all.
45:12
The table glows back and forth. It has a pulse to it.
45:19
As you watch the concentric circles appear from these three
45:24
points in Night City 1 S near the Laguna Reservoir, one on the
45:30
West most side of Night City in the University District, and of
45:34
course, right above where Fresh is right now on the top of the
45:39
Biotechnical Building. The pulses expand and cross.
45:43
You hear a beep and a faint sense of little red dots appear
45:48
all over the map. It triangulates again and
45:51
pulses. Domino grunts in a mild amount
45:55
of pain and there's a large flash in the center.
46:00
Triangulation complete. Of the map above the gaping hole
46:08
that is the nuclear explosion of the Arasaka building comes a
46:12
pink. Wait, ping's here.
46:14
Location confirmed. It's in the fallout.
46:17
Extreme radiation detected. Oh.
46:20
Shit. Oh.
46:25
Shit. Oh, so does that mean we got to
46:27
wear them like big yellow suit things to go in there?
46:33
Looks like we need PPE. My favorite?
46:45
What's PPE? Personal protective equipment.
47:02
Next time on no latency. Can I eat the radiation?
47:12
I don't know. We should definitely get your
47:13
hard hat. Are you saying we go steal
47:16
suits? The worst that could happen is
47:18
you grow a second. So there's a chance we could all
47:22
get superpowers all right. Can we get in the car?
47:25
What else do we need? Right smack Evan Little.
47:28
That's probably a good idea. What's a Geiger counter?
47:31
You have to get a Geiger counter to find out.
