- 7:16Side note. Nice.
- 7:18Wow. Yeah.

- 7:35Etank looks at Saw. See you later.
- 7:38Saw. I see.
- 7:39I'll see you next week. We got a new song we're playing.

- 7:50Thanks weird people. See you later, nurse.
- 7:51Any loops? The deepest of size, do you?
- 7:56Want me to shoot him? I can shoot him in the back.
- 7:58No, no, no, no shooting guys, Come on.
- 8:02Yeah, I don't call VV a nurse. I'm sorry he called you a nurse,
- 8:06Miss VV. OK.
- 8:07Twice. Twice.
- 8:09He was the on the right track, he said, medical person.
- 8:13And then he fell again. It's fine, they're gone.
- 8:16And, and look, the if there's one thing I know is they would
- 8:21have stood there all night or they would have got in a fight.
- 8:25And look, I, I know you sold me up real good.
- 8:27The flesh feels nice. It's it's, it's a little, a
- 8:29little sore, but. It will be.
- 8:32Yeah, yeah. For quite a few weeks.
- 8:34That's fine. It's not my, it's not my guitar
- 8:37playing on, it's the other one. But we're safe.
- 8:41That's all that matters because I want to watch over you guys.
- 8:44That's nice. It's normally my job.
- 8:47All right, who wants to do the talking?
- 8:50Well, Iona has to do it. They're the executive.
- 8:54I do all right. I walk up to this window.
- 9:00Hi, are you, are you Jenny? Yes, I am Jenny.
- 9:08You might have gotten, you might have gotten a communication
- 9:13about me coming through. I'm Jennifer Moscow.
- 9:16Oh. Yeah, I'm Miss Moscow.
- 9:19I got a note about that man. Thank you for getting rid of
- 9:22that guy. Oh.
- 9:25Absolutely. I don't know what the fuck he
- 9:27was talking about. There's no record of delivery
- 9:29anyway. OK, so the truck tracker?
- 9:35You wanted the tracker. Approved is that.
- 9:37Right. Yes, please.
- 9:38Did you need the number again or 0467?
- 9:44467UP A. SUPAS Yes.
- 9:48Yes, OK, OK. And tracker processing fee is
- 9:54320 eddies. Yep, Yep, that'll be fine.
- 9:59They take 320 eddies from you. OK, and here you go and.
- 10:05They hand you a little tile and now that you're away from the
- 10:10red mist of the neon freeze location, it has a connection
- 10:15and it shows you a little pip on a screen and you can scroll at
- 10:19the bottom to see where it's been, etcetera.
- 10:24So it's the tracking history of the vehicle.
- 10:28Beautiful. And does it have its current
- 10:29location? Sorry.
- 10:34USB I'm so sorry, I shouldn't talk over executives.
- 10:36That's you're totally all right. Have we recovered this vehicle?
- 10:40No. So it's still at and sewer
- 10:45entrance somewhere. The last sewer entrance it was
- 10:47near was J 47. All right.
- 10:51Thank you so much for this information.
- 10:53We will be on our way. Thanks your help.
- 10:58What's that? J 42.
- 10:59Are shitty. You seem nice.
- 11:03Sometimes. What's that?
- 11:07J47. GMJ. 47.
- 11:10Great. Just want to make sure.
- 11:12All right, I, I just hand, I hand my tile over to VV.
- 11:17There you are. Make make of it what you will.
- 11:20All right, let's see what's on this and where this vehicle is.
- 11:26Vivi, you look at the tile and you're having a look at the
- 11:29data. And as Iona observed as well,
- 11:34the last place it was tracked was a sewer outlet labeled J47.
- 11:41And once it went in there, because it went underground, the
- 11:43tracking was lost. So say how long ago that was.
- 11:48Not very long ago, maybe about an hour.
- 11:53OK, well, I guess we should probably at least go to this J47
- 11:57location. It's been an hour.
- 11:58Maybe they'll still be there. Maybe they stopped there.
- 12:02Maybe they're in the sewers. Let's let's see if we can get to
- 12:07it. Hey, hey, hey, Miss Vivi.
- 12:09Is is is she going to be OK in the sewers?
- 12:13Is who going to be OK in the sewers?
- 12:15Oh, oh, Iona. Yeah, Miss Iona.
- 12:19Probably not. Hopefully they're going.
- 12:24I'm sorry, we're going in the sewer.
- 12:27I'm sorry, I didn't mean to talk like behind your back.
- 12:29It's just I know how you are. No, no, no, I didn't.
- 12:32I didn't assume that we were going into the sewer.
- 12:35I thought that the maybe the vehicle would be parked outside
- 12:37and that we could do we need to go to the sewer or can we just
- 12:40look at where it had been before now?
- 12:42Only if we notice signs of entrance into the sewer.
- 12:49Then we may have to go into the sewers.
- 12:51Yes, this is all hypothetical. All right, sure.
- 12:56Look, if if push comes to shove, I'll I'll give you my trench
- 13:00coat so you don't get your your little pants suit dirty.
- 13:04OK, we'll, we'll, we'll burn that bridge when we get to it
- 13:08are. You going to burn my jacket?
- 13:10No, I, I I will not. Hopefully, unless it needs to be
- 13:14sanitized in a a bath of fire. This is a very expensive trench
- 13:21coat. OK, it was a gift.
- 13:22Oh I, oh I, I don't plan on burning it if, if that makes you
- 13:26feel any better. It does.
- 13:28It does, yeah. But perfect.
- 13:31All right, this it looks like J47 isn't far from here if we
- 13:36just want to follow the map. Yes, let's head over.
- 13:41Wait, aren't you guys rich? Can't you like afford like a
- 13:43cab? You really want me to call it
- 13:45Delamine every time we need to go somewhere?
- 13:49No. But then, let's walk.
- 13:51Well, we've been walking all night.
- 13:54And we're going to walk some more because Boss says so.
- 13:58Make a good point. It's like a 7 minute.
- 14:00Walk. From here and we have a deal for
- 14:02the cat food. So you say jump, I say how high.

- 15:36Wow, that's really big. You could drive a vehicle in
- 15:39there and those tire tracks go in, don't they?
- 15:44Fuck. Oh that, that is unfortunate.
- 15:51Iona. Looks like they did go in the
- 15:53sewer. All right, what I will do is I'm
- 15:59going to press the little, I'm going to put the the bracelet on
- 16:03my ankle. Interesting.
- 16:05Yeah. And I'm going to click the
- 16:06little button so the latex shoots out over my shoe, right
- 16:09and covers my shoes and do that on both sides so I have two shoe
- 16:12covers. Sounds good.
- 16:14And then I'll also do it to my hands just in case I have to
- 16:16touch anything. Good, you are now wearing latex
- 16:19shoes and latex gloves. Do not run that is slippy this.
- 16:22Is very slippy. If you choose to run, there is a
- 16:26chance you will fall over now. Like a higher one and fall into
- 16:29poop? Yes, yes.
- 16:31I I don't mean to assume anything, but maybe Scabbard
- 16:36knows the best ways around the sewer.
- 16:40I I I was thinking the same thing.
- 16:43I didn't want to assume. As a matter of fact, I do.
- 16:51I you know. You know, sometimes assumptions
- 16:54are are accurate. Don't use the engineer's
- 16:58tunnels, all right. Use the proper maintenance
- 17:01tunnels because then you have a walkway.
- 17:04Oh, that's a good point. I wonder if this one has a
- 17:09walkway or if we're going to have to walk through sewage.
- 17:14Guess we'll find out. You step into this inlet and you
- 17:18come into sort of an opening space, and as you step inside
- 17:22you can smell iron in the air. You can hear machines pistoning
- 17:29water move through the walls and the slow, unnerving rumble of a
- 17:34city above you. Here comes that iron smell
- 17:38again. But that's a good sign.
- 17:40This might be the source of whatever they're producing all.
- 17:44Right. Lead the way.
- 17:46Are you sure you don't want my jacket, Miss Ayanna?
- 17:50You look very uncomfortable. Can I can I spray you with
- 17:53sanitizer first? If if it would please you.
- 17:56Yeah. All right. 8.
- 17:59Yes, you managed to spray this tune with a decent amount of
- 18:04hand sanitizer. It is of the highest quality
- 18:07that you have ever experienced or you probably have not felt
- 18:11this clean in years. I'm I'm rubbing it all over the
- 18:14trench coat, bringing a nice gloss.
- 18:17This is this is nice Is it is that lavender?
- 18:20It is lavender, OH. That I've never smelled that
- 18:23before, but I've heard it smells nice.
- 18:25That's exactly what lavender smells like.
- 18:27You're very intuitive. Wow.
- 18:30OK. And he'll take off his trench
- 18:32coat and and he'll give it to you.
- 18:34And it is and, and as as you put it on, it is very heavy and, and
- 18:40you'll probably realize that the trench coat is light armor,
- 18:43Jack. Oh no.
- 18:45It's. So heavy.
- 18:46Oh geez. So you've got 2 layers.
- 18:50Of of light armor. Jack.
- 18:51Iona Iona has extra armor, but. That's true.
- 18:54I also have. Have you ever?
- 18:56Have you ever read Dune? Yes.
- 18:59The the the the Shields, the yeah, Oh my.
- 19:03God, we have those. Two, it's just like dude.
- 19:13Love that. So you step into this sewer
- 19:17tunnel and as you step into this next area VB, the iron smell
- 19:22gets stronger and you can hear chanting.
- 19:25Anybody hear that chanting? That's concerning.
- 19:32Who's got the best sense of smell here?
- 19:37I, I don't know, actually, you know what?
- 19:41It's all just smelled lavender for the first time maybe.
- 19:44We can follow which of these has the strongest iron scent.
- 19:50Maybe see what What do you 2 think?
- 19:52Can you smell? I still smell of alcohol.
- 19:57BB as you walk further away from the rest of the group while
- 20:00they're sniffing the air, you come across.
- 20:03Yes, this looks like the van. I would check the license plate.
- 20:07Yeah, I'll take a peek inside. Scabbard, Scabbard.
- 20:13Take it. There are footprints to a door
- 20:16to the east. Scabbard will spend the time to
- 20:20remove the license plate. Roll for it.
- 20:24Oh well, yeah, what am I rolling for this?
- 20:26Whatever you want, I want to see if you do it correctly.
- 20:32Shit. How's your how's your operate
- 20:36land? Vehicles.
- 20:38That's about average, I should say.
- 20:46Maybe you know what I'm going to try Basic tech.
- 20:49Maybe I was going to say basic tech.
- 20:52Basic tech. Yeah, basic tech would be good.
- 20:54It's basically basic tech. This.
- 20:56Oh fuck, this is going to be off of it.
- 21:01It's not a. Difficult DV?
- 21:03No, that's fine. Yeah, you remove it.
- 21:07Unfortunately by only rolling an 8 you don't remove very well and
- 21:13you strip a screw and you like rip off a corner of the license
- 21:16plate so it only improves your armour by 1.
- 21:20That's fine. That's cool.
- 21:22It does look cool. It's more cosmetic than anything
- 21:24else. I will follow the the where the
- 21:30footprints lead from this vehicle.
- 21:32Do you need backup, Phoebe? Yeah, the chanting sounds pretty
- 21:37strong behind this door, and I don't know what they're chanting
- 21:42or what they're chanting for. What?
- 21:44What about all these other doors?
- 21:46You want to check these ones before we burst through that
- 21:48one. No.
- 21:50We do we really need to breach and clear or.
- 21:54I don't know. You guys are the professionals.
- 21:56Are there are there bad guys that will follow us?
- 21:59I mean, I look, you guys have been so nice to me tonight.
- 22:04I'm with you all the way. We're friends, right?
- 22:08Friends. Yes, friends.
- 22:11And there we go. That's all that matters.
- 22:13All right, should we sneak in or should we preach and clear?
- 22:18I will open the door quietly. All right, it's locked in a very
- 22:23mediocre way. To be clear, unlocking this door
- 22:26is not difficult, but it is locked.
- 22:31You can roll lock picking. You could break the lock off
- 22:34with brawling. If you roll lock picking, it
- 22:36won't affect stealth pick lock 16.
- 22:39Yes is a simple lock BB. It's very good.
- 22:44You rolled excellently there. Well done.
- 22:46That's so good. Damn.
- 22:48That's really good. That's because it's a mid lock,
- 22:50right? Mid is 15.
- 22:51You beat the DV. You, you Bendel and Iona watch
- 22:55you as you pull a Bobby pin out of your hair and you just unlock
- 22:58this lock and they both look at you amazed.
- 23:02Wait. Maybe, maybe just like nods
- 23:04impressed at her work. Wait, Yeah, I haven't.
- 23:10Come on. This lock wasn't easy, but this
- 23:12is like a lock that you put on a diary.
- 23:14OK. Like this is this was nothing.
- 23:18I would like to quietly open the door.
- 23:20All right, Rostov. Everybody, everybody, just let
- 23:26them chant. 17 As you crack the door open, you can hear them
- 23:32chanting. As it gets louder.
- 23:35I'm opening the door but you're cracking it.
- 23:37So you always see open the door and you see a bunch of tunes.
- 23:43The one thing you notice about all of them is none of them have
- 23:47cyberwear, not one bit. And they're chanting blood only
- 23:53in death. Blood only in death, maybe.
- 23:59He's going to. Quietly close the door after
- 24:03that and look back at everybody who's like behind her.
- 24:07We're all kind of like Scooby-doo, like at the door
- 24:10with. Black. *.
- 24:15We will rent the plague of Nice city with Black Star will infect
- 24:21those who are tinted and only blood will be in death.
- 24:27The pure are the only ones who will get into the afterlife my
- 24:32friends, and Black Star is the answer.
- 24:37With the city infected, those tainted will die, and all that
- 24:41will rise are those of flesh and only flesh.
- 24:45The Unchained will rule this city, the West Coast, and
- 24:50eventually the entirety of the wild.
- 24:57Everybody heard that and I just maybe just looks wide eyed at
- 25:02the rest of the group. Wow, they just told us
- 25:04everything they were doing. They did just tell us
- 25:06everything. Do you think they have any of
- 25:08that Black Star in the van still?
- 25:10Maybe we can see it. I bet you it's a magnet bomb.
- 25:16I I think Miss Vivi checked it and it was empty it.
- 25:18Wasn't it was empty. Oh.
- 25:20Shoot. Got a license plate though.
- 25:22Look, there's, there's other doors guys.
- 25:25I know I'm not the smartest tool in the shed, but like.
- 25:28Right. If anybody would like to roll
- 25:30perception for what they saw through that room.
- 25:32Please do. Yeah, I will.
- 25:33Yes. I sure will.
- 25:36Oh yes, Vivi and you look through the the door both both
- 25:43saw and scabbard were were too amazed by the fact that there
- 25:47were sofas in there. You're like obsessed that there
- 25:49were two sofas in there in the sewer we had.
- 25:52To get a couch. I, I, I, I was just, I was
- 25:56looking at the, the license plates on Scabbard's armour like
- 25:59I was just adoring them. What a good idea.
- 26:02Thank you. Thank you.
- 26:03Did you see what I saw, Vivi? I saw a vent.
- 26:08And that's what I saw. Oh Pinter attack crab move.
- 26:11Yes, we're very familiar with going through vents and.
- 26:15I can go through event. I'll do it.
- 26:17We just have to find the other end with.
- 26:19The vents. I don't think so.
- 26:20I would fit through the vent. They were on either corner.
- 26:25I don't. I don't like tight spaces.
- 26:28You don't think you're? Probably going to fight from
- 26:31here I think. I like that idea.
- 26:33What are? We doing anyway, what's the
- 26:34plan? That's a good question.
- 26:36What is the plan? They don't know we're here.
- 26:40GM. Yes.
- 26:41Does the door like open towards us or does it open inward?
- 26:45Yes, to which both. Both whatever you want.
- 26:50Wings both ways. Pride Month, Pride Month.
- 26:54Pride Month. Where's the Vantage?
- 27:00Yes. OK, it's a big metal sewer door.
- 27:08You can use it to it's water sealable if you pull the the
- 27:12proper lever. It wasn't fairly locked, it was
- 27:14chain locked by these people. OK, well if you think we can use
- 27:23the vents, maybe we just smoke them out into a little and.
- 27:30Then kill them when they come. Out exactly.
- 27:33Make a little bit of a kill box, right?
- 27:35Do they have any grenades? I got a shotgun.
- 27:38Nice boy. I got a question if if the door
- 27:44was padlocked from this side, how are they going to get out of
- 27:48that room? No, it was.
- 27:51Didn't think of that. Oh no, Jim didn't think of that.
- 27:55Oh, OK. OK, there's a little, there's a
- 27:56little hole in the wall where you can get to.
- 27:58That's. Why we wasn't?
- 28:00Understandable. Understand.
- 28:02They can't hear us. Understood.
- 28:04No, Somebody they. Were pointing at that pothole I
- 28:06really appreciate. It they they, they were going to
- 28:08live and die there. That's the Chris special, by the
- 28:12way, With when. That shit, all the.
- 28:14Time and was always just like. I don't mean to be that guy, but
- 28:19my version. There is definitely just a
- 28:22little like door in the in the in the thing that you can use to
- 28:25lock at. Yeah, smoking them out is a good
- 28:32idea. I like this, but I don't have
- 28:35any smoke grenades or anything like that.
- 28:37I mean, we can take a quick look around here and see if there's
- 28:39anything. Wait, I have an idea.
- 28:45There is a car behind us. There is a car behind us.
- 28:49There's a car. Behind us.
- 28:52To you vent the exhaust in the event.
- 28:56Whoa. Wow.
- 29:00Carbon monoxide, they all pass out.
- 29:03That's so fucked. Hey, they won't die.
- 29:07Well, I guess it doesn't matter. They're.
- 29:10They'll fucking die. They're killing people VV It
- 29:14sounded like they were trying to kill anyone with cyberwear,
- 29:16which, let's be honest, it includes me.
- 29:20And me. And me.
- 29:23And me so we're. Their mortal enemy.
- 29:25I'm too poor for that shit. OK, let's, let's see if we could
- 29:33find where the other side of the vent is and drive this car.
- 29:39All right. All right, So if we want to
- 29:43split up and take these doors. So there are three doors in
- 29:46here. There's One South and two N
- 29:49Who's taking what? I'll go South.
- 29:53I'll come with you, song. I'll.
- 29:54Go north all. Right.
- 29:58I'll also go north. And I'll try and work out how to
- 30:01get the car started. There you go.
- 30:05Here we go, I'm going to work on that.
- 30:08Hey, hey, Vendel. Bless you.
- 30:10I'm proud of you. Thank you.
- 30:17And Saw and Iona head to the South door.
- 30:21VV and Scabbard head to one of the north doors, the one on the
- 30:25right. Is it locked?
- 30:28Oh man, here we. Go again.
- 30:30Would you like to do the honours or, oh, we're we should, we
- 30:34should probably split up more than this.
- 30:36I could still hear your guys's conversation.
- 30:39Ms. Vivi, can you come and get this slap for us?
- 30:43Yeah, I'm a pro at this. Rolling a 17 you you unlock the
- 30:48lock to the north. He's going to quickly run down
- 30:51and. Yeah, you run through, you're
- 30:53really ecstatic about doing all of these unlocks, and you try
- 30:55again. You're all a.
- 30:56Crit. Fucking success.
- 31:00Now as you as as you ping open this door, the door swings open
- 31:04to the South and as you're looking in this room, the light
- 31:08that glints off the side with your crit success, you see a
- 31:13vent hatch in the South room. She's really nimble with those
- 31:18fingers. Apparently.
- 31:21Honestly I'm going to be real. Never seen Iona or VV unlock a
- 31:25lock and that this is new. Well, VV does have those
- 31:28surgeon's fingers. New experiences and new friends,
- 31:31am I right? Exactly.
- 31:32All right, so it looks like you found the vent.
- 31:37A vent, yes. VV already ran back to the other
- 31:40door. Yes.
- 31:41I thought I saw a vent in there. Oops.
- 31:44Sorry. All right.
- 31:45Yeah. We saw an event in there.
- 31:47All right, so you guys check down there.
- 31:49I'm going to keep working on the car.
- 31:51I have to roll for that. I'll wait.
- 31:53No, it's fine all. Right.
- 31:55I'm going to go first. All right, You stay behind me
- 31:59and saw. We'll walk through the door.
- 32:01I mean, it looks like this pumps too.
- 32:03I don't. I don't.
- 32:04I don't. It might be like gas pumps.
- 32:09I think it's liquids because of all of the sewage.
- 32:13Oh, that makes sense. Yeah, that makes sense.
- 32:15But no, you reminded me we're in the sewers.
- 32:18It's OK. Hey, we're fine.
- 32:19We're going to get out of here. Well, so this fence can can we?
- 32:24I mean, I can't fit in it, so Vendel, you might want to
- 32:27squeeze in there, but you're working on the car, so I don't
- 32:30want to put too much stuff on your plate.
- 32:33Well, I mean, I, I, I'm almost done here.
- 32:35I just need to roll. I'm going to roll pick lock.
- 32:40Nice. To hot wire the car.
- 32:44That makes perfect sense 11 it is a shitty truck and it is a
- 32:50simple thing to hot wire one of these trucks which is according
- 32:53to the rules ADV 9. So with the the 11 that Vendel
- 32:56ran they managed to get the vehicle stuff.
- 33:00Got it working. Perfect.
- 33:02Do we just back it in here? What should we wait for?
- 33:05Scabbard and Vivi. I don't know.
- 33:07I wonder what they've found and. On the other side of the hall,
- 33:13VV and Scabbard walk into this northern corridor.
- 33:19Yeah, doesn't look like there's much in here.
- 33:23This was probably a secondary fallout room in case of a leak.
- 33:29Interesting. It happens sometimes.
- 33:33Well, you know a lot more about this than I do.
- 33:38So guys, I think this one's a dead.
- 33:41Oh, sorry, I think this one's a dead end.
- 33:44We found the vent. OK.
- 33:48I think there's only one SO. What 9 door #3 what could be
- 33:52like? I only have you.
- 33:55That door is looks like it leads to the same room.
- 33:58There's like 2 doors entrance to this big big empty room got.
- 34:02It got it OK, but like we can't just back the car like it's not
- 34:07going to fit through the door. Yes, it is.
- 34:09Oh. The car will fit through the
- 34:10door. MMM alright.
- 34:12Who's a good driver though? That's. 15 feet wide.
- 34:15That's a big door. That's a really big door.
- 34:19I mean, I could back it in. It's really not gonna be a
- 34:22difficult thing to back a vehicle in and leave it pumping
- 34:25into it. Does do we want?
- 34:26Are we sending anyone in the vent to check or?
- 34:29I don't feel comfortable sending you into a vent that we're going
- 34:32to gas out with carbon monoxide. Yeah, also it might have that
- 34:36like Black Star thing in it and then I'd.
- 34:38Explode. That is absolutely true.
- 34:40I didn't even consider that. Nope, you stay right here.
- 34:43OK. Scabbard say he doesn't have any
- 34:46cyberware. That's true.
- 34:48I could do it safely. Could you squeeze down that
- 34:51vent? Is it big enough for Scabbard?
- 34:54Yes, it is. Oh, hell yeah.
- 34:56Oh, it's a walkable vent. I'm good.
- 34:58Yeah, I'm gonna. It's.
- 35:00Crawlable. Crawlable.
- 35:01Yeah, on my way in. Shimmy, shimmy, shimmy.
- 35:05You shimmy down the vent and you come across an opening to your
- 35:09left. Further down the vent you can
- 35:11see another opening to your left.
- 35:15So I it's opening to my left here, I can open that.
- 35:22So that's the one. You chanting all stuff I'm.
- 35:24Not opening it. Can I hear through it though?
- 35:28Yes, you can hear the chanting and you also hear a hum of a
- 35:32machine. Is that what's further down?
- 35:38That is what is connected to this vent it seems.
- 35:42If I go further down this way, so this this one also goes to
- 35:46the same place. Am I?
- 35:52I'm going to need to open at least one of these if we're
- 35:54going to vent in, right? Fuck, get a real stove.
- 35:59Oh boy. OK.
- 36:00Do you do you have luck? Don't forget you have luck.
- 36:03I do have luck. Oh good idea.
- 36:05I am going to definitely spend some luck for this one.
- 36:08How much you have to say before? Hey, what?
- 36:11You have to say how much you use it.
- 36:12You have to claim how much luck you're going to use my.
- 36:18God, all of it. Yeah, you know.
- 36:20Fuck it, I'm going to dump it all.
- 36:23All right. You know what?
- 36:24I'm just going to dump. Are you luck into this?
- 36:28Damn, fuck it. What luck?
- 36:30Yeah, that's enough. That's enough.
- 36:34You open up the vent and you're behind everyone and you can see
- 36:39the leader tapping away his computer, not seeing you, goes
- 36:42over to the machine, pulls out a few vials of stuff, looks at
- 36:46this black liquid in the tube and puts it back in the machine.
- 36:49All right, got to make my way back down to the others because
- 36:53I've got the vent opener making my way down to.
- 36:56Walking fast. Faces fast.
- 37:01And you arrive back in the main area.
- 37:03Yeah, no, there's two openings to the vent down there and they
- 37:07both go in. So just stop venting it.
- 37:10Either they try to evacuate out the first one and die, or they
- 37:14try to evacuate out the main door and die.
- 37:16Should we seal the door that they exit?
- 37:20That's a good idea. I can also cover it with a
- 37:24shotgun. That works too.
- 37:26Little kill box. Yeah.
- 37:28Also works. Let's do that, all right.
- 37:32I'll go by the door. So just re lock it so it gives
- 37:35them more time to try to break out and more time for them to
- 37:37pass out from the carbon monoxide all.
- 37:39Right. So just put put put the padlock
- 37:41back on the door. And then just shut it and so
- 37:45it's nice and snug and tight. Quietly.
- 37:48Quietly, it's not really in my strong suit.
- 37:51I can try it though. Who got in the car?
- 37:54I'll go in. Cool, Phoebe, you get in the
- 37:57vehicle and you start to reverse it all.
- 37:59Right, I'll lock. I'll lock the door.
- 38:01Cool. 14 VV Great. Yes, that's fantastic.
- 38:06Athletics 13 yes, you lock the door and now it is locked.
- 38:12It's going to take time to unlock it.
- 38:14VV, meanwhile, backs the van into this little area and leaves
- 38:20the engine running. Do you do you turn up the
- 38:23engine? Do you make it expel more?
- 38:26Yep. Vroom.
- 38:27Vroom. Iona you move away from the oh.
- 38:30I'm, I'm leaving this room, you know, these boys, these, these
- 38:35cultists, they're in for quite the ride.
- 38:38They are. And you leave the vehicle in the
- 38:40room? Do you pull the seal on the
- 38:42door? Yes.
- 38:43Vendel looks at you as you grab the handle.
- 38:45Be careful, if we're going to seal doors, we probably should
- 38:48try and do them at the same time because it'll kind of tell them
- 38:50something. Yes, maybe we wait a bit, chill
- 38:56until we hear. Maybe they'll stop chanting and
- 38:58they're alert of something going wrong.
- 39:01I just rolled the two. They don't notice the exhaust
- 39:04pouring into this room, and slowly it starts to gain.
- 39:08You hear an occasional cough as they continue to chant.
- 39:12Weird smells down here aren't weird.
- 39:14Yeah. Do you do anything else or do
- 39:16you just wait for them to die? This.
- 39:18Is kind of kind of dark, just waiting for people to die.
- 39:22Isn't that what we're doing every day though?
- 39:25That's. One way to look at it, yeah.
- 39:27I rolled another two, they still don't notice you've got two more
- 39:32rolls and if I roll badly they essentially.
- 39:36Just die. Just.
- 39:37Die. Just die.
- 39:38I guess we're just going to wait.
- 39:41You're just going to sit in this?
- 39:42You're just going to sit in this sewer solely poisoning these
- 39:46people with the exhaust from a Tune 3 vehicle?
- 39:51Not the most morally questionable thing that I've
- 39:53done in a game. Says Scabbard.
- 39:59Every one of those roles was under 5.
- 40:02Oh, brilliant. You hear coughing and
- 40:04spluttering. You hear people start to stop
- 40:09chanting you. You hear the unmistakable sound
- 40:14of people falling over. The chants stop and you start to
- 40:19hear a banging on the door. More banging on the door as you
- 40:27hear people beg for help, but a louder voice comes out and you
- 40:33see a hand come through the door and grab the padlock and jiggle
- 40:39it around. Another hand comes out with a
- 40:41key and is now trying to open the door.
- 40:45Cash register noise. I draw the sword.
- 40:48Oh, and I would like to cut the hands off.
- 40:55Oh. Come.
- 40:57On roll roll, roll for it. You.
- 41:02Can't evade this. They really can't.
- 41:04You can't. It looks to be them.
- 41:07Oh no, that's the. Biggest crit?
- 41:14Your sword snaps in half. Cortana.
- 41:20It's like the the the banker rolls of quarters and the splits
- 41:25and the quarters. Coins fall everywhere and the
- 41:28hand, the hand kind of panics and stops.
- 41:31Do you do anything else before? I close the door.
- 41:35You close the door on the hand? Or do you let the hand leave?
- 41:38You know what? I'm going to slam the door on
- 41:40the hand. Nice.
- 41:41All right, roll for it, Brawling.
- 41:43Jaw you. Get 2 Malay attacks that I will
- 41:46give you. But your sword is broken now you
- 41:48cannot use. It damn that sucks.
- 41:50That's what happens with it. You that's a Max grip fail
- 41:53that's. A good thing you got a gun.
- 41:55You broke my sword. 18 Yeah, you trapped this guy's hand in the
- 42:00door. No, no, no.
- 42:03No, my vision is not sitting. No, no.
- 42:09Somebody do something? You're a sicko.
- 42:12The things you're doing to people is horrible, and you and
- 42:16all the people that you've recruited for this horrible cult
- 42:21deserve to die. Yeah, what?
- 42:22She said. So what do you do?
- 42:25Yell at him. Oh, you just wait for him to
- 42:27die, all right? Shit.
- 42:32Blood only and death. How does that sound to you?
- 42:37Only in suffocation from carbon monoxide.
- 42:40Oh, sewer suffocation. That's another good song name.
- 42:44Write that down. Write that down.
- 42:47That is too slow. Hello Tricky.
- 42:49I pull out the gun. Oh my gosh, yeah, we're rolling
- 42:53a lot of crit fails up in here. This guy, the leader of this
- 42:58cult pack who your GM designed for you to fight, rolls a crit
- 43:02fail on brawling and he breaks his hand in the door.
- 43:08His flesh hand. This person has no cyber attack
- 43:13and you see blood start to pour down the side of the door as you
- 43:16hear him coughing on the outside.
- 43:19He falls and faints and if you leave him sealed in there,
- 43:22everyone in there will die within the hour.
- 43:24It may not have been a gunfight, but you've stopped these people
- 43:29and their experiment. The only thing left of their
- 43:32story will be the machine on the inside that makes this cursed
- 43:36stuff. So I.
- 43:39Guess we'll yeah. When you say the sword, is there
- 43:43like a little jagged piece of sword left?
- 43:45Yeah, there's a jagged piece of sword, but you couldn't use it
- 43:47in combat. It's not agile enough anymore.
- 43:49That's fair, but if we open the door I could use it to just
- 43:52like. Shank people?
- 43:54Absolutely. Oh yeah, I'll take care.
- 43:58Of be aware the room is now full of carbon monoxide though so.
- 44:01Well, carbon monoxide's six. Yeah, I would turn off the
- 44:08vehicle. To start and turn off the
- 44:11vehicle. What's done, needed to be done
- 44:12is done. You got like, like the, the
- 44:15rebreathers, like the things that the the people put on their
- 44:18faces. I do actually.
- 44:22Oh, I have one too. Oh.
- 44:24Look at you guys. I bought one when we went to
- 44:26that under, I mean that place we went.
- 44:28Here I I don't need to be in there, I'm just going to hang
- 44:32this one. What if what if what if you got
- 44:35you? What if you got the drugs and
- 44:38Miss Vivi can get the drugs and maybe she can like re engineer
- 44:41it and help the people? I vote we just blow out the
- 44:44fucking machine. This stuff sounds dark and
- 44:47fucked. Give.
- 44:48Me back the car in there. And blow the car up.
- 44:52Yeah. I like that idea.
- 44:54I like blowing shit up. Can we blow some shit up?
- 44:57Yeah, feel free. But what if it like collapses
- 44:59the tunnel and like? I was going to say, are we
- 45:01structurally OK blowing shit up in here?
- 45:06It's a couple 100 tons of concrete air.
- 45:08We should be fine. All right.
- 45:14You unlock the door and this coat number falls in front of
- 45:20you, unconscious against the door with his hand still stuck
- 45:24in it, bleeding down this rusted metal giant round door.
- 45:30VD scooches the vehicle into the room up against the machine that
- 45:34made this horrible stuff. Very quickly, do I just, I'm not
- 45:40going to spend too much time on this, but do I see like a
- 45:42manifesto or anything from these people because I'm just So what
- 45:48is their motivation? So she's going to take a quick
- 45:51peek. There's a computer in this room
- 45:53on the east wall. I, I guess, yeah, I'll, I'll
- 45:57open the, the PC and see if I can grab anything.
- 46:02Yeah. Can I just like quickly transfer
- 46:04it to my, to my agents? Yep.
- 46:07OK, I'll, I'll do that so I don't have to sit here and like
- 46:09read. You glean a few things.
- 46:11A lot is repeated of what he said out loud about being
- 46:15unclean and cyberwear being tainted and how it ruined his
- 46:19life. Deeper in these documents as
- 46:22you're perusing over them. After the download you see that
- 46:25he lost his job to people who got cyberware but for personal
- 46:30reasons never got any done. He was a genius, but nobody
- 46:33wanted to work with someone who could only see 2020.
- 46:36Interesting. Sad but he made this stuff that
- 46:39causes the iron in your body to overcharge cyberware and
- 46:43explode. Vivi just kind of shakes her
- 46:48head and. Just.
- 46:51Leaves it at that, and she leaves the computer.
- 46:54How are making the car explode? Good question, Scabbard.
- 46:59Yeah, it was your idea. What?
- 47:01Kind of clothes are these guys wearing like these cultists,
- 47:04There's clothes. Light armor jacks Jean jacket
- 47:07kind of vibes OK. It'll be tearing strips of
- 47:08cloth. Cool.
- 47:10You tear strips of cloth, I'm assuming tie them together.
- 47:13I. Have a lighter?
- 47:14And just shove it in the gas tank.
- 47:16Fantastic. Yeah, you create a makeshift
- 47:18fuse while trying to. You soak it in tune too, as you
- 47:22stick it into the gas tank and pull it out so that it'll
- 47:25actually catch fire. That's five people's worth of
- 47:29clothing that you can burn. And so each one of those people
- 47:33gives you 5 feet worth of clothing that you can attach the
- 47:39vehicles. That's one. 2/3. 4-5 which
- 47:41reaches to the door and that is it.
- 47:43Excellence gives us time to light the fuse and run all.
- 47:48Right. I guess we better we better get
- 47:52ready to run. Do it.
- 47:54I'm ready. Damn.
- 47:56You set fire to this makeshift fuse and it starts to move along
- 48:02these clothes. Run.
- 48:04Everyone run, roll athletics. Have to go, have to go.
- 48:07Oh fuck, I'd. Like to point out that Ayona
- 48:10can't really run. Oh fuck.
- 48:13With that crit, can I help her? Yes, I carry her.
- 48:18So you rolled a Crip? Iona tries to start running with
- 48:22their latex boots and is left behind by everyone.
- 48:27Everyone's rolling really, really well on athletics.
- 48:30This is what would have happened.
- 48:31There you go. Yeah, Iona rolls hilariously the
- 48:34lowest on Athletics. Doesn't fall, but realizes that
- 48:38they can't run and they can hear the fire getting closer to the
- 48:41vehicle behind them. Pick Iona up and run with her.
- 48:46I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry. All the while apologizing to
- 48:52Iona. You get to the other side of the
- 48:54room and you can you can hear and see the fire leave your
- 48:57vision as it gets closer to the car.
- 48:59One more athletics roll. Everyone except Iona, who's
- 49:02being carried. Oh.
- 49:05Oh. I'm honestly only looking for
- 49:09crit failed. How the fuck do they run the
- 49:11same thing? Oh, there it is.
- 49:15Oh, everyone except Phoebe makes it into the next chamber.
- 49:20VV slips on some human excrement at the doorway.
- 49:27You save yourselves. You all watch fall on the ground
- 49:31and you hear an explosion. This explosion is cool as shit.
- 49:37It happens behind the as she falls forward.
- 49:41I mean, this is the epitome of failing forward.
- 49:44Vivi. Yes, you did get a decent amount
- 49:47of shit on you falling prone, but by falling prone a piece of
- 49:52shrapnel misses you and hits the wall, and you have foiled these
- 49:57plans and saved Night City from a threat that they didn't even
- 50:03know was happening. Well look at that end of the
- 50:07day, you're hot shit. And that concludes no latency
