Transcript
- 0:02Last time on no latency. No, he's on the ground.
- 0:05He's defenseless. I'm not doing anything after.
- 0:06That I'm a little shook. Oh God, there's no E brake?
- 0:09Bro Brolin behind this crate here.
- 0:12Take a little bit more cover. Houtering is a crime I.
- 0:14Don't. I don't like the way you said
- 0:15that. Very cool Vendell just don't get
- 0:17shot. Yeah, shit.
- 0:18Close enough, everyone. Get in so happy with those
- 0:20batteries. It was very bad.
- 0:22I'll hobble. On over.
- 0:23Parking in a bus lane is a crime.
- 0:25VV's limping. Thanks Retro for the help.
- 0:27You got the van on the other side.
- 0:29Let's get there. It's not like I'm going to shoot
- 0:31him. I guess it's time.
- 0:34Unbelievable enemy. This.
- 0:36Is going to be a big pink. Shit.
- 0:42Examine. We got to wear them like big
- 0:44yellow suit things. What's?
- 0:46Personal protective equipment. All right, let's get on.
- 1:02Can we order off of the biotechnical company gear site?
- 1:08I can have a look. We should look to see if we've
- 1:10got anything that has radiation protection.
- 1:12Yes, yes. Yes, yes, yes.
- 1:15Now I don't remember if this is exactly how this works, but like
- 1:23my body kind of like AI can like eat my body and other other
- 1:27people's bodies and stuff. But do I have did did that
- 1:30little experiment that you did on me?
- 1:32I don't need give me any sort of, you know, can I eat the
- 1:38radiation? I don't know.
- 1:40No, no, no, you, you can't eat radiation chip.
- 1:43OK. OK.
- 1:43Just just just wondering if it worked.
- 1:45That way, no, you you can't eat radiation.
- 1:49However, I am not positive. I don't know how many research
- 1:54papers I've read on the effects of radiation for body fuel bite,
- 2:02so maybe we don't get you a suit.
- 2:08We, I'm just saying that, you know, maybe we could just use me
- 2:11as a bit of a, a Guinea pig and if anything goes wrong, we just
- 2:16have, you know, some, some like steak over on the side.
- 2:23So I can just kind of chomp on it real quick.
- 2:25If anything goes goes sideways, goes tits up.
- 2:30Right, I don't think that's a bad idea.
- 2:32It might be an interesting watch.
- 2:36But also that might be a really good report.
- 2:39I might get a bonus if I can do research on body fuel biting
- 2:41radiation. I hope that you'll be OK.
- 2:45Now, Doc, I don't know if any of that made any sort of medical
- 2:48sense. What are your two cents on it?
- 2:50Oh, that's right. What do you think?
- 2:51Medical Professional. About the radiation.
- 2:57Stuff. I mean, you've examined Jeb.
- 2:59Do you think that he'd be able to like take a little bit?
- 3:02Can I Can I eat the radiation? You.
- 3:06You. Might be able to take a little
- 3:09bit of radiation poisoning, but prolonged exposure could
- 3:18probably have very adverse side effects.
- 3:21Obviously for us prolonged exposure is bad, but it might
- 3:24take a little bit longer for you.
- 3:27But I would not I I probably wouldn't risk it.
- 3:30Now quick question, if I do get blasted with the radiation and I
- 3:34can't eat it, will I potentially, and I do mean
- 3:38potentially, is there a chance that I could get superpowers?
- 3:43The worst that could happen is you grow a second.
- 3:48That's the worst that can happen.
- 3:50Let's go. I like those odds.
- 3:54I like those odds. All right, Vendel, order one
- 3:57less suit please. OK, I'm going to.
- 4:00I'm going to order one less suit.
- 4:02Let me roll local expert. You know what, you should order
- 4:08Jabba suit just in case. Now now, just out of curiosity,
- 4:12what color is it? Well, they're customizable.
- 4:16I was going to say I usually go for the pink one.
- 4:19Right, we should definitely get you a hard hat.
- 4:23Well, if it's pink then jam me in, can we?
- 4:25Get you a cowboy hard hat. Yes, actually, my hat has been
- 4:32actually. He's a hard hat actually, and
- 4:34has been. That's cannon and since day one.
- 4:40He's never washed it. Never washed it.
- 4:43No, that's true. It's gross.
- 4:45So it's just. I need to run a local expert.
- 4:49I'm, I'm not even kidding, it even says here in my character
- 4:52sheet, where, where to go? Where's, where's my shit?
- 4:58Where's, where's my shit? So.
- 4:59Are you? Do you need me anymore?
- 5:01No, no, fresh. We're good.
- 5:02Thank you. Bye.
- 5:04Good luck with the radiation if you need anything else.
- 5:09Yes, it's right here. Bulletproof cowboy hat.
- 5:14And underneath it it says it's a cowboy hat that's bulletproof.
- 5:17Does that make it a cowboy helmet?
- 5:19Unclear. Says that right here. 20 Vendel
- 5:24is tapping away well. That's not good, that.
- 5:30Definitely doesn't sound good. They're out of stock.
- 5:37What do you mean they're out of stock?
- 5:39Well, we haven't got any from the the company.
- 5:43They're on back order from PPECAD.
- 5:49So there's a chance we could all get superpowers.
- 5:52Yeah, yeah, there's a chance. I mean because we, we order our
- 5:58PPE from a company called PPECAD, right?
- 6:02And they just are on back order. We have 2 already.
- 6:09Yeah, but that's not enough. Maybe we can make some makeshift
- 6:14homemade anti radiation suits. Well, I can find out where the
- 6:19warehouse is. We could probably just go and
- 6:20get them, but we won't get delivery.
- 6:23Oh, OK, that's probably better then.
- 6:26Are you saying we go steal suits?
- 6:30Yes, Vendel. I know, isn't it fun?
- 6:35I mean, Oh yes, that's so bad. Yeah, we'll be like charging,
- 6:40but for the suits. Yeah, they're over here in
- 6:44Westbrook. Honestly, guys, I don't know
- 6:46what's going on right now. Everything's all just kind of
- 6:48like woo Hoo. Well, maybe you've also suffered
- 6:51A mild concussion from the zapping.
- 6:55I'll be honest, it feels really good though.
- 6:58So it's like that kind of dizzy that like everything's like
- 7:01really cool and you think you might throw up, but you like
- 7:04like your body knows you're not going to throw up, but in your
- 7:06head you think you're going to throw up.
- 7:10I don't get it. Although I rolled high enough on
- 7:14you're old high enough on local expert Iona that you, you, you
- 7:19do know about their they are going to release a new version
- 7:22of the suit. It's in R&D.
- 7:26See. Look, it says there.
- 7:29Oh, and do they have them at the the facility over over there
- 7:34past my apartment? Yeah, it's where they make them.
- 7:38Oh, then let's go get the new ones.
- 7:42Yeah, fresh and clean. Fresh and clean, Clean.
- 7:46We should get them directly from the machine so no one else has
- 7:48warned them. Oh no, everyone's in the light
- 7:54of day. We can, we can, we can get them.
- 7:57We can get them in UV packaging. So they haven't even seen
- 7:59sunlight yet. All right.
- 8:03Can we get in the car? What else do we need?
- 8:12Well, once we've. Got that.
- 8:13We're going to have to like, I don't know, gear up and roll
- 8:19out. Yeah, that sounds like a good
- 8:22saying. Well, it looks it looks like
- 8:26that's the is it the Fallout S correct?
- 8:30It's in the centre where that big red target is.
- 8:32Oh am I? Am I crazy?
- 8:34I can't see this fucking map ha ha ha ha.
- 8:39Pretty much OK. So it would make back.
- 8:41Down in the middle. There it is.
- 8:43It would make sense for us to go get the suits 1st and then hit
- 8:47everything else on the way back down towards the fallout.
- 8:52So we'll get the suits, grab some new guns, get some gear and
- 8:55then take on the Syndicate. Yeah.
- 9:00Yeah, a fist pump in the air. I'm, I'm trying, I'm really
- 9:05trying to hype everybody up. This is actually kind of a scary
- 9:07thing. It's terrible.
- 9:09I'm thinking about it. Yes, we will likely have to deal
- 9:13with pockets of radiation. I recommend stealing a dog
- 9:16encounter as well all. Right, that's probably.
- 9:19A good idea? What's a Geiger counter?
- 9:24It tells you how much radiation is in the area.
- 9:27It's basically like it. Measures Geiger's.
- 9:30What? Yes, like you is correct.
- 9:32Jeff, be quiet. Damn, everything's mounted in
- 9:35Geiger's. So how many Geiger's are in an
- 9:38HR Geiger we're? Not sure what we'll have to use
- 9:42these Geiger. 'S you have to get a Geiger
- 9:45counter to find out, yes. It's on my list.
- 9:48Oh. Man.
- 9:50So we'll go to the PPECAB. Well, you will.
- 9:55And I'll prep back here for our journey into the syndicate.
- 9:59I'll see if I can get some scans through the radiation.
- 10:02It's unsurprising we haven't found them till now.
- 10:04They've been hiding behind a veneer of particles.
- 10:10Well, let's get to it. Yeah, before we head out,
- 10:14everybody should put their shield belts on the Chargers
- 10:19right now. Do I get one of them I've ever?
- 10:23Just got one. I should actually turn mine on,
- 10:26I don't think I've used it in a while.
- 10:28We'll check the charge on it. Then I was like 3/4 because I
- 10:32just haven't used it in like 5 weeks.
- 10:36I took a straight shot to the chest today and I didn't even
- 10:39remember to put that up. You've.
- 10:41Got to remember to press it. That's the one downfall.
- 10:43You have to tap it. Every turn only works for six
- 10:51seconds. It's actually pretty shit to.
- 10:55Be honest, it hurts. Everyone puts their little
- 10:58Shields onto the charger, hopefully it'll charge to full
- 11:03in time. Why can't we, like, make a
- 11:06shield that can like do that with the radiation?
- 11:09You know, like, oh, electrical shield.
- 11:14And you will pile into Manawan can.
- 11:17I come up with the best ideas when I'm high.
- 11:19So, so good. And you drive through Night City
- 11:23towards the PPECAD factory. It's in Westbrook.
- 11:32And you make your way to this location.
- 11:36Jeb, are you driving? Probably.
- 11:39I can drive. Roll a driving check.
- 11:41OK. 26 Yes, you make it to this pontifier.
- 11:48Occasion. Westbrook.
- 11:50The area is quite nice. This company does quite well for
- 11:52themselves. They are one of the biggest
- 11:55sellers of PPE in all of the state, not just Night City.
- 12:00They sell, they probably sold to NC space, they sold to the mass
- 12:05driver, they sold to Biotechnica factories all over the shop.
- 12:09You've seen their equipment everywhere.
- 12:11They are very famous for it. You know them, you love them.
- 12:16Jeb, you pull up outside. Of.
- 12:20This compound in Westbrook and as you ride up there is a large
- 12:26gaggle of people outside the compound, all wearing T-shirts
- 12:31and holding picket signs. Oh, a civic display?
- 12:43What's going on here? What are they chanting?
- 12:55Oh, excuse me, Excuse me. Are robots taking jobs?
- 13:02Yeah, the company got a really good deal on this stupid product
- 13:04called Mimic and then fired us all.
- 13:06What a bunch of bullshit. No more.
- 13:09Oh. Bots.
- 13:13No more bots. Mimics suck.
- 13:16I can't believe they took our jobs.
- 13:19Oh yeah. Oh, mimics.
- 13:20I remember those. Everyone turns to retro.
- 13:23What's this do suck? What's a mimic retro?
- 13:31A mimic? Oh, sorry.
- 13:39A mimic is a robot that can mimic other people.
- 13:46I don't know. I, I remember we, we I think we
- 13:50fought one might have been 2. Like we fought.
- 13:55I remember I fought some. It was like during Christmas
- 13:57time, I was doing some extra work for April Anonymous.
- 14:01Wait, by the way guys, I met April Anonymous.
- 14:03You met April Anonymous. Oh my.
- 14:05I got to meet April Anonymous. That's cool, I met April
- 14:09Anonymous. 54. Yeah.
- 14:11Oh, 54, yeah. I didn't just get to meet them,
- 14:15I got to work on Christmas for them.
- 14:18Whoa, what? That's cool.
- 14:23And yeah, there were these mimic robots that tried to kill us.
- 14:28They. Tried to kill you.
- 14:30Yeah, they were trying to kill us, and they were.
- 14:32They were also like trying to kill, you know, the big holiday
- 14:37spectacular that was happening. Of the Nick Santos concert.
- 14:41Yep, Yep, because that's April was was doing the.
- 14:47I missed that exposing. I should rewatch it.
- 14:49It's on the garden, I think. Well, you'll have to tell me
- 14:51what you thought of my camera angles.
- 14:53I thought I did pretty well. Oh, did.
- 14:54You film it, that's cool. Several cameras I got, I got all
- 14:59kinds of angles. The things were going crazy
- 15:01because like they've got a doll implant kind of like the same
- 15:03way that Ping has. So like, she tried to kill us
- 15:06and then like they'd split open like some David Cronenberg
- 15:11steampunk monster and try to kill us.
- 15:16Right, that sounds scary. Sounds like they got a good job
- 15:19here now. The mimics.
- 15:22Yeah. Wait, wait, wait.
- 15:24Hold on. Hey, you.
- 15:25Hey. Yeah, I just, I I get that
- 15:32you're, you know, not wanting bots to work there.
- 15:36Are you guys union? We, we, we, we, we tried to make
- 15:42ourselves union and then the the company got a really good deal
- 15:45on the mimics because none of the corporals want them anymore.
- 15:48And then they fired us all. Oh shit.
- 15:52Well anyways, should we go in seconds?
- 15:55No more bots. Yes.
- 15:58I'm not bad. Not just to be clear to you, you
- 16:04in particular. Come here.
- 16:06Yeah. We're not crossing your picket
- 16:10line. We're dismantling from the
- 16:17inside. I.
- 16:21Don't know if I believe you. We're.
- 16:23Not scams. Definitely not corpos.
- 16:28Not corpos at all. Hey guys, we got a bunch of
- 16:34stuff on sale in here. On sale.
- 16:40Jeb runs in. It's Persuasion.
- 16:45Oh, I found it. I found it. 20.
- 16:48All right, you look. You seem like a chum I can
- 16:50trust. Is there anything you can do for
- 16:53our cause? What do you need?
- 16:56We need them. Stop using robots and start
- 16:58hiring like real working humans who have skills.
- 17:02How many mimics do they have? Oh I counted a bunch, like 8 or
- 17:099. We broke one and then they fired
- 17:12the other guy. There was like a few of us who
- 17:14kept our jobs for like, supervision and then one of them
- 17:17broke and Steve got fired. Hey, OK.
- 17:21So 8 or 9, maybe 10, maybe 10. We'll, we'll, we'll see what we
- 17:28can do and maybe there will be less when we come back.
- 17:32Cool. They're not making them anymore
- 17:33because there was like a huge scandal they had to wrap up.
- 17:35Something happened over Christmas.
- 17:37That's what I that's what I've heard.
- 17:38I've heard. Yeah.
- 17:40Well, thank you and stay strong. Yeah, workers unite.
- 17:46Workers. Yeah, Yep.
- 17:48All right. In.
- 17:49In everybody in. OK, so you all head towards the
- 17:56front door. You pass by a window and you see
- 17:58a femme sitting at a reception desk.
- 18:01The opening of this area. There's also to your SA delivery
- 18:06gate as well. Do you go inside?
- 18:09Yeah. I think we're all going inside.
- 18:11Yeah, there are sales in there. There are sales in here PPE.

- 19:58wares. We're specifically we're looking
- 20:00for radiation equipment. Well, we're, we're having a
- 20:07little bit of an issue at the moment.
- 20:10Our production line is down. We, we surmise that it may be
- 20:16back up and running after we get through our backlog.
- 20:20We have backlogs with Biotechnica and some other
- 20:23companies. And so they of course take
- 20:26precedent. If you want to fill out a form,
- 20:29I'll get back to you in 6 to 8 weeks.
- 20:33No problem. Can we go look at your wares?
- 20:37Oh, that would require a corporate appointment.
- 20:41Oh, wonderful. Turns turns back, turns on turns
- 20:46back on the lady at desk. I got us this far.
- 20:54This is that's all I got. I don't have an appointment.
- 20:56I don't know. We.
- 20:58Could bring a Can we try and book an appointment?
- 21:01You guys don't have like a tour or anything?
- 21:04Well, currently we're dealing with a bit of a of an issue.
- 21:06You may have seen outside, you may have seen the people.
- 21:11You mean the guys that could actually be fixing this mess and
- 21:14getting it back to running, but you decide to let them stay out
- 21:17there? You're shooting the messenger.
- 21:19I just work here. I did not make that decision.
- 21:21That was a decision by a parent company, Sobill.
- 21:26To use. I appreciate your your passive
- 21:28aggressive tone with a potential customer.
- 21:31Cool. So stalemate.
- 21:37Anyway, can I make an appointment?
- 21:39You can fill out this form and we'll get back to you in 68
- 21:42weeks. All right.
- 21:44What's going to take for me to get back there right now?
- 21:47What do you think? Asking for their corporate
- 21:50number. I'm going to lean.
- 21:51I'm going to lean down onto the desk so that my giant Bahangas
- 21:56peek out of the top of my shirt a little bit.
- 22:03Oh, this strategy. Listen dear, whatever you can
- 22:09make happen, we can negotiate a reward.
- 22:16And we're talking monetarily, if that wasn't clear.
- 22:20It was not, Sir. Well, now it is.
- 22:23Rather solution or bureaucracy and you get +2 for very obvious
- 22:28reasons, one for each. Oh, what was it?
- 22:30One for each side. What did you say?
- 22:33What did you say? What are bureaucracy?
- 22:36Persuasion or bureaucracy? OK, let's see.
- 22:42Oh well, my persuasion is super high.
- 22:45OK, how does 20 feel for you? 20 feels cleavage.
- 22:55Great. Yeah, sure.
- 22:57Oh, look at that. There's an opening right now.
- 23:03It's just alright, alright, bud, What are you sorry, sorry,
- 23:12sorry. I I got lost in something for a
- 23:14second. I got it.
- 23:16I got lost in a valley of thoughts.
- 23:18So if you tell us a. Word.
- 23:20That's OK. I what?
- 23:21I'm what I'm going to do, my dear.
- 23:23Thank you for letting us in. Here is my number.
- 23:27That's my card. Cool.
- 23:29I am giving her my biotechnical card.
- 23:31A Biotechnic hi. It's Iona and I'm actually just
- 23:38going to walk past her, OK? It's nice to meet you.
- 23:43I'll, I'll tell Sam. Sam is in the office across the
- 23:49to the South. He's the manager if you wanted
- 23:53to. All right.
- 23:57I, I think, I think that's us. I think that's us.
- 24:00And Iona has successfully convinced the team's way into
- 24:04the rest of this compound. At the end of this room, there
- 24:07are three doors. There's a door to the left
- 24:09marked staff room. There's a door to the east which
- 24:13leads to the courtyard. There's a door to the South that
- 24:16will lead to the building where the manager of this compound is.
- 24:23Which door do you want to take? I'm just kind of, I'm kind of in
- 24:29for the ride right now. Yeah, listen, I'm not even
- 24:33getting one of these so. No, no.
- 24:36We're getting. You are.
- 24:37Getting one, we did decide that. Now superpowers.
- 24:40Iona. So you said Sam is in the what?
- 24:43The middle door? The door directly in front of
- 24:45us. No, Sam is apparently S That's
- 24:47what the lady said, yeah. So all right, then I'm going to
- 24:50go through the door that is directly ahead back here.
- 24:56You you step into the courtyard outside and you see to yourself
- 25:03a robot like figure, a tall metal man is moving boxes to and
- 25:13from a truck, but keeps on just taking the same box back and
- 25:17forth. Remy is is that Is that one of
- 25:23them? It it that that metal man seems
- 25:29to be bringing the same box back and forth over and over again?
- 25:33Yeah, that that that kind of tracks with how I remember.
- 25:40It Remy maybe you can help me out here.
- 25:44Is there a way for us to get rid of these bots?
- 25:49Oh yeah. Easily.
- 25:55Yeah, probably. Oh, well, maybe not so easy.
- 25:58I mean depends on your idea of like difficulty, right.
- 26:03Like if you want to get them all shut off at once, that wouldn't
- 26:06to make it easier than that. That individually there's that
- 26:10way or you can go it individually, which would be
- 26:14harder to do. But we probably don't have to go
- 26:16up against like some big locked, you know, safe thing that has
- 26:22all the controls and stuff in it.
- 26:24I mean, I'm assuming that they're probably all on a
- 26:26certain hub. Well, this I, I'm looking around
- 26:30here, it doesn't look like there's a lot of security.
- 26:34I, I got past the front desk person just by showing a little
- 26:39Tata, you know, and I it's, it's.
- 26:42Great. I I'm 40 years old and I didn't
- 26:46know that you could just do that.
- 26:49You could just show a tah tah and people give you things
- 26:53you're. 40. Your ticket to Paradise plan
- 26:56worked out pretty well, you know, So I, I mean, yeah, you
- 27:00got it that far. We, I, I, I don't know where
- 27:05else. I mean, obviously I don't know,
- 27:07I can't speak for the whole place if they're all going to be
- 27:09that horny. But you know, I guess we could
- 27:13all try to go around and flirt our way through till we
- 27:16eventually find where the main control unit is.
- 27:21I mean, this is not city sex gets you a long way.
- 27:24It's. True.
- 27:27Phoebe would know. Sorry, was that too?
- 27:31Cutting? I I'm so sorry.
- 27:34God, I don't know how many in your windows we're going to have
- 27:37on this one. Ha ha.
- 27:39Slide whistle. So are we going to take out the
- 27:45mimics so the workers can get their jobs back?
- 27:48I would like to if we could. Seems like a sad quest, but I
- 27:53could be convinced. Plus, we've done a lot of death.
- 27:56We should we should try and help them out.
- 27:58I I think that's a good idea. OK, so the plan is we're going
- 28:03in to shut them all down using our sex appeal.
- 28:06Got it. If that's the plan we've got,
- 28:10it's the plan we've got. So we just need to find a way
- 28:15into the into the network. If we can find one that's
- 28:19isolated, we'll be able to hack in I guess.
- 28:23Well, figure it out, can we? Can we like see the names of any
- 28:28of the buildings? Yes.
- 28:30OK. So the building to your right is
- 28:32the manufacturer warehouse. There is parking to your N
- 28:36There's also R&D attached to the manufacturing warehouse to your
- 28:40east and to your S is the management building, and to your
- 28:44W the building you just exited. The north part of it is
- 28:47suffering. OK.
- 28:48So you is there, were you saying there's some sort of like
- 28:51central switch that we can just turn off and all the bots go
- 28:56dead? Yeah, we just have to get into
- 28:58the mesh network. Yeah.
- 29:00The question is on whether or not they're going to keep it
- 29:02inside with all the managers or if they're going to keep it
- 29:07inside the main warehouse. I would guess with the managers,
- 29:12but we could check the warehouse first.
- 29:14Well, the warehouse is bigger, so I'd say that's the managers
- 29:18just because it's smaller, right?
- 29:20Sure, that's that, that, that is fair.
- 29:25I just didn't want to deal with people.
- 29:28So do you want to roll perception in this area to see
- 29:30if you see anything? Sure, I sure do.
- 29:35I'm. Going to go ahead and just RIP
- 29:37my shirt a bit to make a like kind of very deep V-neck now.
- 29:42Hot. Iona you step out into the
- 29:45courtyard to look around, and up near your northwest you see a
- 29:52broken down mimic lying on a sofa in an alley behind the
- 29:56building. You have been do do they sleep
- 29:59these mimics or or is that one just broken for good or?
- 30:07No, that you know what? Again, really hard trying to
- 30:14remember because I was hot. That's OK, we can find out.
- 30:19There's something inside me screaming something.
- 30:21I can't figure out what it is. Is it don't approach?
- 30:24Because that's what I'm going to do is approach.
- 30:29Yeah, I think it means that. Then I won't.
- 30:33I stopped walking towards the bot.
- 30:36I don't know, maybe you could puggle with a stick or
- 30:37something. I don't have any sticks.
- 30:40Are there any sticks around? Or maybe a grabby stick?
- 30:46You know, the ones with the hooks on the end for getting
- 30:49things off of high shelves in warehouse rooms.
- 30:53Yeah, you rolled high enough you find a stick on the ground.
- 30:56I'm going to poke the bot. All right, you poke the bot.
- 31:02And give it a 5050 it jumps. We poke the bot and we head into
- 31:07the little alleyway behind the stash room.
- 31:11It looks like this was set up for an area for the employees to
- 31:13like hang out. It's a nice one outside break
- 31:15space and the mimics lifeless sitting on the sofa.
- 31:19It seems to be positioned. It does look broken.
- 31:22There are parts on it that like that have disconnected cables
- 31:26and you poke it and it's head falls to the side.
- 31:29It's inoperable it seems. Does the I don't have any
- 31:35electronic know how? Is there a way to access the
- 31:43mesh from a bot or is it useless if it's not connected?
- 31:49I mean I, I I guess we probably could.
- 31:51It was part of the mesh network before.
- 31:58B Boop of Remy just come around the corner.
- 32:01It didn't attack me. I I have an idea.
- 32:06We can locate the mesh server correct I.
- 32:15Mean, yeah, I mean, if it's if something's sending in a signal,
- 32:18then we should be able to trace where that signal's coming from.
- 32:24Well, plug your code reader into it.
- 32:26Or or I that's it. That's the only thing I have a
- 32:33cold reader. I inspect the port.
- 32:35Is it at least a clean port? It's a clean port.
- 32:38The the only it it seems like it took some physical trauma the.
- 32:43The ones that the workers bashed.
- 32:47And it requires some maintenance.
- 32:50It's transmitter is disconnected.
- 32:54Well, the transmitter is disconnected.
- 32:56Oh well, good, good scrap I suppose, if you want any of it.
- 33:01But I guess go right with the manager's office.
- 33:06I will. I will attempt to to to to fix
- 33:12it, but first I'm going to make sure that I disconnect all arms
- 33:21and legs for movements. OK.
- 33:25And then I'll I'll try to reconnect to the the signal so I
- 33:31can maybe try to chase it. I swear to God, there's just
- 33:33something inside me that says you're going to fucking jump
- 33:35scare me. And I swear to God.
- 33:39Bro basic tech 30. Well, that ain't bad.
- 33:42Using your multi tool, connecting them back to the mesh
- 33:45network, you hook in and the head bolts upright and it looks
- 33:53at you so that. 1 coming. It's eyes go red.
- 34:00Put it down. Put it down.
- 34:00Put it down. We.
- 34:05Found you. You recognize the red eyes?
- 34:08Of course we do. You know what?
- 34:11Actually I need to roll something for this if this is
- 34:14who I'm thinking it is. It is.
- 34:17It is. Who?
- 34:18Who is it? OK.
- 34:20You don't know, but you know who it is.
- 34:23Oh no, it's definitely frozen in fear now, like one of the.
- 34:27Disabled the arms so it's just head.
- 34:31It's it's, it's all, all it can give me is head.
- 34:33Got it. Yeah, nice.
- 34:38But it doesn't matter to me because I'm still freaked out
- 34:40because I'm technically plugged into the thing.
- 34:44As soon as I see the if it, as soon as I see the eyes glow red
- 34:49and it starts talking in a voice that obviously I recognize
- 34:52because we've been through this several times, I'm going to RIP
- 34:56Remy's plug out. Cool.
- 34:59Pulling someone out of an interface does cause damage, so.
- 35:02I would rather cause damage than for him to be possessed.
- 35:07Fair enough retro you get 10 damage direct.
- 35:11Sorry, sorry my love. And you fall backwards.
- 35:16Oh yeah, no, it's very much that that that trope, the Terminator
- 35:21trope, the fall back, pushing back on the hands to get away.
- 35:27Jeb, you catch him. Phoebe, you're there as well.
- 35:32The red eyes of the AI stare at you through the face of this
- 35:36mimic. I really want to shoot at you
- 35:39guys. Tell me, tell me, tell me not to
- 35:41shoot it. I take my gun out.
- 35:43Now we know where you. Are I'm going to do it, You guys
- 35:46tell me to stop. There's shooting.
- 35:48It's not going to do anything but draw attention to us, yeah.
- 35:51Don't shoot it, Jeb. That's too late.
- 35:53Well, I was really hoping for a very clear stop, but I that's
- 35:57good news. We're coming.
- 36:03Oh man. I'm going to since it's it's
- 36:06metal and I don't it doesn't freak me out as much as touching
- 36:09human skin. I'm going to try and snap the
- 36:11head off. Do it Athletics 14 Yes, it's
- 36:15already in disrepair. It was damaged and you snap the
- 36:18neck and the eyes flicker and it shuts down again.
- 36:30VV Remy's going to need some help right now, OK?
- 36:35Remy, Remy, Remy, Remy, can you hear us?
- 36:39Remy's just full catatonic. Yeah, I yeah, I can see that.
- 36:42Remy, I'm going to fiddle your antennas a little bit.
- 36:48My antennas I don't know. That.
- 36:53Is back there. You have an antenna.
- 36:57Oh God, that's a deep sensation. Whoa.
- 37:00Tickles. Retro.
- 37:03Oh shit. You you smack the side of
- 37:05Retro's head like trying to fix ATV that hasn't quite tuned
- 37:08correctly. Oh man, well this I don't.
- 37:12God, I don't know if I replaced with some fucking dolphins.
- 37:15Are you? Are you with us?
- 37:17Yeah, I just totally hallucinated something that
- 37:21could not be possible. I don't think it was a
- 37:25hallucination, Remy. What?
- 37:29And they were. They were as we.
- 37:30We all saw the as. I know, I know.
- 37:37It's OK. It's OK.
- 37:38I get a bag out of my bag. I threw the bag at Remy.
- 37:43Wait, what? Take it, Take it, take it.
- 37:45I don't know, but I don't want to find out.
- 37:48Retro Are you going to resist vomiting?
- 37:50Oh hell no. All right, well then, then you
- 37:52let. It out, Let it out and.
- 37:54You vomit all over the ground. How?
- 37:56How does it happen you? Never do this vomiting, even if
- 38:00you're high. You want it?
- 38:01You want it? Yeah.
- 38:02Says VV as as they lightly hold his antennas back so they they
- 38:07don't get. God forbid you choke on it
- 38:10instead of. Her.
- 38:12They're there. I and I pat him on the back.
- 38:15Let it out. Is it coming out of the the CD
- 38:20slot I guess? Oh yeah, OK, just imagine.
- 38:23I wanted a visual. Imagine.
- 38:25I'll give you one, I'll give you 1.
- 38:27The puppet vomiting scene from Team America that oh.
- 38:37That's very good. That was very good.
- 38:40I mean, they know where we are. Next time on no latency.
- 39:06Let it out, buddy. Please stop doing that.
- 39:08Please stop. Her.
- 39:09You alright? I'm not alright.
- 39:10I'm also surprised. Why is he not dead?
- 39:12Yes, scary. The red eyes, the deep voice.
- 39:14Oh yeah. Oh, we saw it.
- 39:15I. I don't like those red eyes
- 39:17either. Retro.
- 39:18We should start carrying around extra cables, so you should give
- 39:20me. If only.
- 39:21Your extra cables. You never know when you might
- 39:24need something true. Retro you don't you, you don't
- 39:26have to do anything it'll. Just be for a bit.
- 39:28You don't want to. Hunch you in the face.
- 39:29You should also go to therapy. Yeah, yeah.
- 39:32We're we're all good, right Retro?
- 39:33I I'm a grown up, I can do this. I mean we should help them.
- 39:37Just so we're clear, bots don't have feelings.
- 39:40Oh gosh. Oh, my shotgun right at it.
- 39:43Oh. Loud.
- 39:44Oh. Oh please do.
- 39:46I don't know how to fix this. Your foot's really messed up.

- 39:54these things. We're just going to go in and
- 39:57shut everything down. More vomiting, please.
- 40:22All right, that's it. There you go.
- 40:33We've spent long enough with them not knowing it's.
