Good morning, everyone. BD Here's a wheat shot.
2:35
Oh, wheat shots. Did you say weed shots?
2:39

2:40
All right, All right. I thought, I thought we'd start
2:42

2:47
Marley in here. But I, I suppose that's later.
2:50
Yes, it it's 10:00 in the morning, so.
2:53
Wake and bake, that's what they say.
2:55
Apparently. But it's, it's OK, Phoebe, it's
2:58
not weed. It's not weed shot.
3:00
It's a wheat. Shot good, good, because I am
3:03
not in the mood for any substances this morning.
3:09
Just something, you know, nutritious.
3:11
Are you are you? Are you?
3:14
Are you a weeder? I like less.
3:17
Retro. I unfortunately have the bad
3:21
habit of nicotine, but not. What is THCTHCI?
3:27
Don't know. If it's fucking no Tracy, Tracy
3:29

3:40
Thanks. Yes, no, that's all right.
3:44
I I do not need a cigarette right now.
3:48
OK, just the sweet shot. We seem a little down in the
3:53
dumps this morning. I, I I'm fine.
3:59
It's early. We were up till just one.
4:03

4:30
Oh, weed shot. Yeah, great.
4:32
I'd love the weed right back. Weed shot and.
4:37
Then immediately, right as they take the shot and they've
4:41
ingested it, Retro's face starts to glitch and you just see the
4:46
Mr. Icky sticker pop up over the face.
4:50
Oh God these weed shots are getting worse and worse.
4:54
No, no, retro. That's a wheat shot.
4:56
Wheat. Wheat.
4:58
Wheat. Wheat is unlike the shit you
5:01
make bread with. Nutritional.
5:03
They made it drinkable now. Like I can have a drinkable
5:05
sandwich. Yeah, drinkable gluten.
5:08
It's great. I.
5:09
Mean that's just beer. Oh.

5:41
That that person you crashed into, I fixed their car and they
5:45
said that that you lot were going to pay for it.
5:48
And when I talked to Ping, they said you were going to pay for
5:51
it. And then ping said that you
5:52
probably forget. We'll try and get out of the
5:54
payment. So just come down to come down
5:59
to my place and we'll we'll work something out.
6:01

6:04
Oh, OK. So it's one of them.

7:04
what I'm doing. And that is paying back my debt
7:08
to Tuna. Because we did, we collectively
7:13
as a group did crash into some poor person's car and we got a
7:19
oh. That sky chick that that took a
7:21
pint of Viona's blood. Oh, right.
7:25
Why is it always we whenever you're behind the wheel?
7:29

And you know, we, we're a, we're a bit of a, a family.
7:38
It's a group you. Know it's a family on that.
7:41

7:44
Sorry, I'm I'm, I'm just cranky. We're like, we're like a, we're
7:48
like a collective, you know, we, we share, I mean, we share each
7:54
other's feelings. Thoughts.
7:57
And thoughts. And I fucked it up.
8:00
I thought that you were going to say thoughts at the same time.
8:02
I thought you were like, I thought it was like we finished
8:04
each other's. Sandwiches.
8:08
That's what I was going to say. Yeah, yeah.
8:12
Should we? I mean, we could all go
8:15
together. I think, I think we should all
8:17
go. I was just saying that I
8:19
definitely have to go. Yeah, that's, I mean, I don't
8:22
have much else going on today. Great.
8:29
I'll get Vanna White all up and running, you know, start the
8:33
car, get it all warmed up in there.
8:35
I mean, it is, it is kind of cold out there in the city, so
8:38
getting the heat started just make things so cool.
8:42
Thank you for the creature comforts, Jeb.
8:44
Yeah, of course. No problem.
8:46
Well, I'll meet you guys out the out of Vanna White.
8:50

9:01
Dogs. Is Jeb being weird?
9:03

9:09
I just woke up. I'm sure that it's it's hasn't
9:15
fully combobulated yet. I see.
9:19
I just think it's the wheat shot.
9:21
Possibly. I thought I was just Jeb being
9:23
Jeb. Well, fair enough.
9:28
Well. You guys want to go do this?
9:30
See this Tuna fellow. I like tuna.
9:33
Have you not met tuna? I don't think I have.
9:38
I think it may have been once I've.
9:40
Got to meet you. The name Tuna does ring a bell.
9:44
I've heard it, but I don't think I've been to Tuna's place, at
9:47
least so. That'll be new.
9:50
Let's go reintroduce Phoebe to Tuna.
9:56
I'm. Having such a sweet morning.
10:01
Everybody's being so nice. I'm going to lay down in Vanna
10:07
White. And you all get in Vanna White
10:10
and you drive off to Tuna. Tuna.
10:21
Job, you all right? Well, going to be a lot better
10:24
once we clear this debt of of ours.
10:27
I almost said mine, but it is a collective debt that we all
10:31
collectively are going to resolve.
10:35
Is that right? Yeah, yeah, That biotechnical
10:37
person was really pissed off. I did a really good job though.
10:40
You'd be happy to do anyway. So you owe me a bunch of money
10:46
for repairs. I know I said 2000 over the
10:48
phone, but it's been a few days. You didn't actually reply or
10:50
call me or tell me anything. So now it's like 4 grand.
10:53
I was kind of in the middle of a mission, like a thing we were
10:56
doing. That's funny, why does that
10:59
affect me? Mate, pay your debts.
11:03
I mean, I'm, I'm just saying that, all right, you know,
11:06
don't, don't worry about it. We'll take care of it.
11:08
Right, good. So some penis stole my
11:12
gyrocopter. Oh, all right, so you want us to
11:19
make you a new gyrocopter? No, I wanted to steal back the
11:22
one I already have. Oh, right.
11:25
OK, I retrofitted it so that for like a very brief period of
11:29
time, not very long, it can hover silently, put an extra set
11:34
of blades that spin the other way, and it negates the sound
11:36
wave. But it drains so much battery.
11:40
But it's fucking prim as shit. Sounds pretty cool.
11:43
It's very cool and those mother fuckers fucking stole it.
11:49
So if it's silent, how did is that why they were able to steal
11:56
it is because they just took off and he didn't even.
11:59
Know no, no, they stole it because they they, they, they
12:01
took it from my, from my driveway.
12:05
Right. And he didn't hear it because it
12:07
was silent. No, they drove off in a truck.
12:10
Oh, they did. One of them.
12:12
Yeah, some Maelstrom guy. Well.
12:15
He had. This big He had this big white
12:16
thing sticking off the side of his body.
12:20
Huh. And do you know where they're
12:23
holding this thing or are you? Is that part of the gig is to to
12:27
find it? Well, yeah, you just got to find
12:30
it. So it's some Maelstrom guy.
12:31
He's got a big white thing sticking off his body.
12:33
Had some other guy on him and they just put it on the back of
12:35
their truck and they drove off. And there there wasn't like you
12:43
didn't have a tracking device on it or nothing like that, no.
12:46
I haven't got around to it. Also, the tea's just over there.
12:51
Help yourself. I've got a samovar, just pour it
12:53
from the thing. Oh.
12:53
No, I appreciate that. Yeah.
12:56
My my my throat is. Really got sterilized paper cups
13:00
Iona for you Now. I know you don't talk to me very
13:02
often, but I do pay attention. I appreciate that, Tuna.
13:07
Thank you very much. Very welcome.
13:08
I'm I'm, you know, weirdly aggressive because mechanic, you
13:12
know, I actually like all of you.
13:14
You're very nice. All right, Vivi.
13:15
All right, so nice to see you again since we've met many times
13:18

13:22
Good. It's good to see you.
13:23
See you again. Yeah.
13:26
Yeah, yeah. It's funny.
13:28
It's funny, you know, you know, I think it's really funny.
13:31
You know, our paths have crossed so much, did you know?
13:34
Right. I don't think you ever noticed.
13:37
I worked on some of your your ambulances.
13:41
Really. No, Yeah, yeah, we said hello
13:44
all the time. That's.
13:44
Do you remember when we shared lunch at in the cafeteria?
13:49
You know, do you remember? I feel like, yeah, it was a some
13:54
time ago. Wow.
13:56
Now that I'm thinking back. I I had the fish and made of
13:59
really funny jokes. My name's Tuna.
14:00
Yeah, it's very good. You know, I, I, I do.
14:04
I remember the tuna. Yeah.
14:07
Yeah, that's right, me fishing for compliments.
14:13
As funny as always, Tuna. Oh, VV, it's always good to see.
14:17
I love, I love pretend. I love the game we play where we
14:19
pretend we don't know each other.
14:20
Yeah. Y'all are best friends.
14:24
Well, you know, I worked on some of the vehicles that they did
14:27
like practice on in school and that.
14:29
So yeah. Wow.
14:33
Anyway, so that's the information I have.
14:35
Do you know anything about? Does that ring a bell, any of
14:38
you? So just to be clear, what we
14:41
got, what we, what we got to work off of here is stolen
14:47
Omnicop. Gyrocopter.
14:50
Gyrocopter stolen. Gyrocopter sometimes silent.
14:56
Stolen by a guy with a big white thing.
15:00
A Maelstrom guy with a big white thing.
15:02
Maelstrom guy, big white thing, adopter stolen sometimes quiet.
15:08
All right, Well, I think we got everything that we need, so I
15:12
I'm ready to go. Well, oh great if you need
15:14
anything else. Maybe a few more questions might
15:20
help us. That wasn't clear enough for
15:22
you? You know, maybe just a couple
15:25
more details, Jeb, that might be useful for us like I.
15:29
Suppose. I don't know where did you last
15:31
have the gyrocopter? Where was it stolen?
15:34
Any thoughts? Was it here?
15:36
Right where you're standing, yeah.
15:37
OK. And how long ago was this?
15:44
Few days ago. Few days ago.
15:48
And do you have any relations with Maelstrom like do you do?
15:51
They are. They, I mean, they're always
15:52
stealing. They're always stealing stupid
15:55
shit to pay for new augments and that.
15:57
You're just the unlucky one that had to lose a gyrocopter.
16:01
There's, there's a lot of expensive shit in my front lot,
16:03
you know, and it just breaks through the fucking gate.
16:05
I've got to get a new gate guy now.
16:08
I kind of feel like maybe you should lock those things.
16:11
How how often do you do you have things I.
16:13
Don't often have the gyrocopter here.
16:15
I would brought it here to do some work on it.
16:17
No, I was just overnight. Well, it doesn't because I
16:22
didn't have a battery and I didn't think anybody would take
16:24
it. But they put it on the back of a
16:25
truck and they fucked off with it.
16:27
Wow. That's.
16:29
Didn't have a. It couldn't move on its own if
16:31
they didn't have the truck. You see, That was kind of my
16:33
mentality. But so that means if we get this
16:38
gyrocopter. Yeah, I've got, I've got the.
16:41
Drive it. I've got the, I've got the
16:43
footage if you want. Do you want to see the?
16:46
Yeah, they're. All.
16:49
Right there may be a it. Gets out a little tablet, taps
16:53
away at it and opens up this video.
16:55
Retro and VV role perception. Oh, Retro is asleep in the back
17:00
of Anna White, remember? OK well then Retro isn't paying
17:03
attention. Fuck you VV role perception.
17:05
Fuck you VV role perception 16. The mass on the side of that
17:13
guy's body is a tea organ. A tea organ.
17:20
Oh oh shit, that's one of the one of the IRS organs.
17:30
Got it. IRS organs, yes.
17:35
Correct. Wait, what?
17:38
Yeah, what the hell is that thing, that big white thing come
17:42
coming out of that man? That looks like it is a tea
17:48
organ. It's a.
17:50
A tea. It it makes tea.
17:52
Is that what we're drinking? No.
17:54
No, no, don't you penis. I'm gonna get it all.
17:57
I'll be. Back No.
18:00
A tea organ is like a synthetic fake organ made by the IRS.
18:06
The IRS. The internal.
18:08
Service. No, no, no.
18:11
It's the internal repossession service.
18:14
Is it also a government entity with the same three letter
18:16
acronym? They.
18:18
Take music. Yeah, man, you're thinking Jeb.
18:22
You're thinking way back, like you're thinking like two, like
18:25
early 2000s here, like we're in 2045, Jeb.
18:29
Oh no, we're in 2048. 2048. You're you're back in 2045.
18:35
That was that's. When we first started this.
18:37
Podcast. But no, no, no, no.
18:41
See the IRS, they look sometimes when you need money, you sell an
18:52
organ and the IRS will take it and they will give you a tea
18:58
organ, a fake one. Yep, you know, and you just got
19:03
to pay your debt back. Sometimes if you need an organ,
19:07
they'll give you one as well, like a regular one.
19:09
You can buy from them and then the the organ that they put in
19:13
you like the ones in that video when you don't pay back, so they
19:17
take it back and replace it with a temporary one.
19:19
Tea Organ. Temporary tea.
19:21
For temporary. Yep, I see.
19:25
So they they do a few. Things like you can buy organs
19:28
from them directly, you can have a temporary one until you can
19:30
get payments, or you can start paying off an organ that they
19:33
install. But if you don't pay for it.
19:36
That's when the repo. Oh, I see.
19:40
And they repossess the organ. Can you give me?
19:45
I'm having a moment. What's wrong DD?
19:49
This is this, this the the gyrocopter the I need to get
19:54
retro. One moment and retro is like
19:59
just a. Retro, retro wake up.
20:02
Fuck. God.
20:04
You've got the table on your hands, you've got the freeze
20:06
frame of this guy. Just.
20:07
Retro, retro, you're gonna. Shake someone's Wait, what?
20:11
Ah. Look, just give me your
20:13
alertness for one moment, please.
20:15
Thank you. Everything tastes like bread.
20:16
Oh. My God, OK, remember the other
20:20
night, that outing we had with my pal Coyote and we were in the
20:25
organs and look at look at this, look at this really quick.
20:29
If it has anything to do with Chad anymore, I'm not I'm you
20:33

20:35
triangle. Look.
20:36
Look. This new guy, remember him?
20:42
OK, so your buddy, your buddy. Tuna buddy.
20:47
Sorry, he's also my friend. I guess Tuna missing Tuna is
20:54
missing his gyrocopter. Do you remember the gyrocopter
20:59
that crashed the other night? Yeah.
21:04
I mean, it was getting, it was getting hauled by that truck.
21:06
I mean, are you saying that's the same gyrocopter?
21:10
That that Tuna has reported missing and wants us to find.
21:15
OK, so you're telling me that the Maelstrom guys ripped off
21:18
this gyrocopter and then immediately came and fucked with
21:22
us instead of going to drop off the gyrocopter?
21:25
Man, they are a terrible gang. They fucking suck.
21:29
There, there. There needs to be a change in
21:31
leadership. Somebody really is like, they
21:33
need an Iona of their own to like really kind of just like
21:36
get them in gear. That just seems totally.
21:41
A gang that cares nothing about that more than just getting
21:49
acquiring shit all. Right, I'm just gonna snap you
21:52
right there. You know, there are certain
21:54
politics when it comes to a gang, and a gang does have its
21:57
own economics. So let's come on, let's bring
21:58
into this project I'm a. Student of trauma team, do you
22:01
think that I know anything? I mean, we did find out that
22:05
Trauma Team is itself its own gang and ripping people off, but
22:09
yeah, sure, OK. God damn it, you just reminded
22:12
me that everything I know in my life is a lie.
22:16
So what you just said to me is probably a lie.
22:20
OK, but regardless, we. OK, let me.
22:24
Let me go talk with Tina. Hold on.
22:25
At least let me get back. All right.
22:31
Ferrari here some tea. Oh great, is THCT.
22:35
No, it's just regular fucking. Why is every It's just tea.
22:38
Why is everyone asking me if I've got fancy tea?
22:39
Do I look like a fancy tea motherfucker?
22:42
No, it's not really. That's actually quite nice when
22:44
I think. About it, not really tuna.
22:46
I mean, I'm appreciated that you even have tea, but have they?
22:48
Caught you up on my copter. Jeb owes me money, so I'm making
22:52
you all help me God. Damn it, Jeb.
22:56
Yeah, that we, I've, we VV and I have seen this copter before.
23:02
Oh, you have? Oh yeah, they tried running us
23:05
off the road and then slammed into a fire hydrant.
23:08
OK, we'll go. So.
23:11
We have a good place to start. Yes, we do.
23:16
Well, do you? Well, if you know the
23:17
intersection of the fire hydrant, you might be able to
23:19
like get a picture of the license plate and work out where
23:22
that motherfucker lives. If it wasn't a stolen vehicle.
23:27
Well, I mean, that's the only thing I've got in the footage.
23:29
Look and. He scrubs through the footage
23:30
and on the side of the of the truck, it says Maelstrom rocks.
23:35
Sounds like something I would do to a stolen car.
23:38
I got. No, Yeah, let me, let me think
23:40
here. Do you mind if I borrow your
23:43
computer real quick? Yeah, yeah, go ahead, Retro.
23:45
'S going to go over to the computer and they're going to go
23:50
ahead. To use it, he hasn't got a seat.
23:51
It's a standing desk. Yeah, don't need to roll
23:55
something to stand. No, just giving you some some
23:59
narrative information. Yeah, well, Retro's annoyed.
24:01
I don't understand too. It's not a good day for Retro.
24:03
I guess Retro is going to comb through all of the public video
24:10
cameras with that same image of that side on side of the van to
24:18
pinpoint where it's seen it the most, at the same time cross
24:24
referencing the police records on the most amount of reported
24:30
maelstrom crime. Great roll for it.
24:33
Let's see here here. We go 28 yes.
24:38
You pull up a map, you run a few programs on the garden, you
24:41
cross reference and stuff and it seems to have turned around one
24:46
specific corner which kind of leads to not a dead end, but
24:50
because the park is so big it would have to come out of that
24:53
corner a lot. So it's on the end of a street
24:57
and sort of a dodgy a part of Knight City.
25:01
What's the name of the street and what dodgy part of that city
25:04
is this? It's called old.
25:05
Well, close. Oh well, close.
25:09
Which part of the city is it in? On the cusp of the combat zone,
25:13
but they're fairly quiet and low run area.
25:16
OK, Santa burbs. It's kind of industrial park
25:23
area. There's about a bunch of empty
25:25
lots and abandoned buildings, but it's not quite combat zone E
25:28
yet. Is that zone C or zone E?
25:31
Zone C Well it. Doesn't matter.
25:33
We're not even going to the combat zone, we're going close
25:35
to the combat zone. We're going to the combat zone.
25:39
Well, kind of close to it. More like zone C Awfully cusp of
25:44
combat zone. Oh, that's fun.
25:48
Clock and load, motherfuckers. All right, let's do this thing.
25:53
So you, you know what this thing is then it sounds like retro.
25:55
You, you, you. You had to run in with it at
25:57
least. I mean, just cross referenced a
25:59
bunch of this. I don't kind of know what we're
26:01
going to see when we get there, but like we'll see.
26:04
By the way, when we're on the way back, can we like stop at a
26:06
head weed shop? Like I really need to get some
26:09
some weed. I'm I'm crashing here.
26:11
I need something to pick me up. It sounds like you should
26:14
probably lay off the weed if you're having withdrawals.
26:20
I'm not having withdrawals, it's just more of a steadier for me
26:26
so. That sounds like a problem.
26:28
Oh, I'm I'm sorry Iona, can I see your medical agree for it?
26:33
I point to VV. Iona does make a point that if
26:39
you do feel some sort of withdrawal, that does signify
26:45
addiction. However, you know there are
26:49
medicinal purposes for weed. So if you feel like it helps you
26:56
in, if you have like headaches or things like that, like you
27:00
know it it, it could. I'm having a headache from this
27:04
conversation. Let's just go.

Come. Discover a new world.
28:02
All right. Anyone see anything suspicious?
28:05
Roller driving Jack. Don't hit anybody, Jeb.
28:09
All right. As we're kind of just coasting
28:12
around the block here, anyone, I don't see anything suspicious.
28:16
You call it out like that right there.
28:20
That man is cooking a hot dog over a a fire in a trash can.
28:25
That's suspicious. That's pretty normal for the
28:28
combat zone. Oh, OK.
28:30
Well, that's suspicious. That's that's the car, ain't.
28:35
It Yeah, it looks a lot like the car even still has the damage
28:39
from when it crashed after getting out drove by Coyote.
28:45
All right, well, let's check it out there.
28:49
Jeb, where do you park the car? I park it kind of off to the
28:52
side probably around here or so I'd guess.
28:56
Yeah, just like around the corner.
28:57
So you know it's not in harm's way, but it's still accessible
29:03
at a moment's notice. Jeb, with your 26 driving check,
29:07
you're able to find a pretty nice little snug area beside
29:11
this little old construction yard.
29:15
Have you guys noticed that apparently the fact that I'm
29:18
good at driving means really what I'm good at is finding a
29:21
good parking? Spot we always roll for parking
29:23
at Night City. I really understand most of the
29:26
roles that I do are about finding a parking spot.
29:30
And then there was that when you failed, when you crashed into a
29:32
vehicle. And that's why we're here, Jeb.
29:34
It's true, yeah. And I'm just going to be honest,
29:36
like with the way parking is even in the past, like it's all
29:41
about lucky also, and it's extremely important.
29:45
Because if we, if we parked, you know, three or four miles down
29:48
the way, because that was the only available parking spot,
29:52
we'd be tired. Yes.
29:54
It's vitally important. Anyway, let's go check this.
29:58
Let's go check this truck out. Yes.
30:00
I'll follow Jeb. The door's just wide open,
30:03
there's nothing else around. There's no gate to this
30:06
construction yard. Hold on, let me do a perception
30:09
check real quick. I'm going straight to the truck.
30:11
I have no qualms. That's fine, I just want to see
30:16
if there is any security. Perception 12 You find no
30:21
security outside from the position you are in.
30:26
Such a great DM response you. Don't find anything important.
30:30
You rolled a 12, so you just very you rolled very mid and you
30:33
discover that there is a locked door to the garage and there's
30:39
another door to a sub building to the West.
30:43
OK, well, copter's not in here. Well, it might be in the garage.
30:47
Yeah. Oh, hold on a second.
30:50
Hey, Jeff, come with me for a second, will you?
30:52
Oh. You're not going to check out
30:53
the car. No, that's what I'm saying.
30:55
Let's go check this out. Oh yeah, absolutely.
30:57
I'm going to take a look around. Hey, Jeff, quick question.
31:00
Yeah, I know that your driving skills are, but how are your
31:07
vehicle skills? You're saying my mechanics, Yes.
31:13
If I were to fix a car, I would probably make it worse.
31:19
Can you fix this car? No, what you, you just asked me
31:23
I'd, I'd probably make it worse. I'd like to see your work.
31:25
Can you fix this car for me real quick?
31:28
Retro I I don't, I don't see what you're I'm I'm going to
31:31
break. Jeff, please just just for can
31:33
you just show me how this how it works?
31:36
I mean, I suppose I can give it a shot, but I don't think it's
31:38
going to go well. OK, just please I kind of want
31:42
to know. Roll for it.
31:44
That's genius. How 18 He changes the spark plug
31:51
perfectly. I mean, what I do know is that
31:53
this air this is this is a spark plug and looks like we're going
31:58
to need another one. Thankfully, thankfully I noticed
32:01
there was one just hanging out right over there, so they must
32:03
have known what they needed to do this.
32:05
Anyway, I this that's easy. I could just plug that in right
32:07
there, screw it, screw it in and then put the connector back in
32:11
there. There we go.
32:12
OK, cool. So then yeah, we could just
32:15
replace all the spark plugs then.
32:16
Real easy. Then I'd take a pick my tool
32:18
hand like in a wrench. You had to smash all the spark
32:21
plugs and and spot where they're.
32:23
At 00, geez. So now we can just take them all
32:26
out and then like that, right? I mean, you're the expert if if
32:30
that's what you think needs to be done, that's fine.
32:34
Let's just go find out what else is going on in there.
32:37
I am. Confused.
32:39
Jeb and Retro have disabled this vehicle and you head back over
32:43
to Iona and VV. Are we going to check the garage
32:49
or? Yeah, we got the, we got their
32:52
vehicle working in top perfect order right now.
32:54
Why would you do that? Being nice, Jeb showed me how to
32:58
change the spark plug. I mean, I'd I really figured you
33:03
would already know how to do that considering what we've been
33:06
through together in the past, but.
33:10
You know what, you can always learn from others.
33:12
Just because you think you know everything doesn't mean there's
33:13
not more room to learn. I suppose that's true you.
33:17
Could probably know a better way than I do how to do it.
33:20
I doubt it, but maybe. I mean, I just showed you how to
33:22
change all those spark plugs out in one spot.
33:24
I did. Yeah.
33:27
Well I I am confused. There's no need to be confused,
33:36
we just need to unlock this door.
33:38
Oh, this one here. Yeah.
33:41
All right, Jeb takes out his, his, his, his revolver and like
33:46
aims at at the door. It's a giant metal door.
33:51
Oh, OK. It's like a big like garage door
33:53
type thing. Big.
33:54
Garage door in front of you. OK.
33:55
Like A roll up door. Yeah, like A roll up door.
33:58
Is there a pad? There's not or something
34:02
outside, no. So it's it's really more of a
34:05
wall than a door at this point. From this side, yes, it is a bit
34:09
more of a wall than a door, but you recognize that it is a door,
34:12
but just. You go around the side, you're.
34:15
Going to run around the side Rob Perception.
34:17
I'll follow you. Oh, you view, you find that you
34:22
have stepped in animal excrement, retro crit fail on
34:28
perception and now you have poop on your shoe.
34:31
Jeb, Raw Perception 19. Oh Gee, it's or don't step on
34:37
the oh retro now you got Dukey all over your shoesies.
34:42
Oh. Man, I'm.
34:43
A. You say as you lean against the
34:45
wall and put your hand on a vent.
34:48
And it opens up a little bit, I imagine.
34:50
Yeah. Oh, well, looks like we got
34:56
ourselves a vent retro. And you know what that means.
35:00
Imagine sneak in time and Jeb kind of just like snakes himself
35:05
into the into the vent you're. Not going to help Retro with his
35:09
shitty shoe. No, retro's just going to kind
35:12
of accept life how it is and just go with.
35:14
And just tell what he is. Yeah, this is going to follow in
35:17
the vent. Oh, no, don't come in the vent.
35:21
No, stop. I dropped.
35:23
But you'll get out of here. You're just going.
35:26
To smell all high. God, why you?
35:26
You don't got to push me out, jeez.
35:28
Get your poopy shoes out of the out of the van I.
35:31
Wonder what they're doing in there?
35:36
I couldn't even imagine. Probably sneaking, something Jeb
35:40
does pretty regularly. Should should we distract?
35:46
Distract who? Well, if, if, if there's people
35:49
in the building and Jeb and Retro are are sneaking into a
35:53
vent, we could distract them. So do we get into the building?
35:57
Oh, hi, Retro. Where's Jeb?
35:59
Jeb. Kicked me out of the vent.
36:01
He found a vent and he just kicked me out of it.
36:03
Oh. OK, well, so when I come with
36:06
us. We're going to we, we should
36:08
just pincer attack. Yeah, sure.
36:10
OK. Right.
36:11
Yeah. Where?
36:12
Where are we going? Well this is locked so maybe
36:18
over here all. Right, I'll follow the leader.
36:21
And you head down towards the other side of the building where
36:24
there are two vending machines, 3 porta potties and a door with
36:28
a keypad next to it. What is in the vending machine?
36:33
Romy 3D ten You found 10 ammo, a hand sanitizer.
36:39
Canada. And a neon throwing dagger.
36:44
Oh Vendel, you probably would like this more than I would.
36:47
Neon throwing daggers. Oh, they're, they're 150.
36:50
That's so expensive. I love those things.
36:52
Well, I'm glad. So these daggers are special.
36:55
You can use it normally and it will shoot like a rate of fire
36:57
of two, but if you don't move you can throw through I'm.
37:00
Going to buy 3. Each packet it gives you a pack
37:02
of three and there are 150 eddies each.
37:04
OK. And are they all the same color
37:07
or? You can set the color before you
37:09
throw them. Oh, OK, yeah, I'm gonna buy
37:11
three and then I'm going to give two of the packets to Vendel and
37:15
go. Here's an early stocking stuffer
37:18
for you, Vendel. I own gifts.
37:20
I love gifts. Oh, gifts are wonderful.
37:22
Thanks Retro. It seems like you really wanted
37:25
it and I got a little extra money from.
37:27
Well then I'm going to spend 150 on this hand sanitizer for I own
37:31
it. Here you go, boss.
37:32
We're paying him forward. Yeah.
37:36
All right, I buy the 10 ammo. You hand it to GVI.
37:42
Was going to give it to Jeb. Oh, Jeb's not here.
37:44
Here GV. Oh, thank you.
37:48
Your it's your turn. You have to pay something
37:50
forward to retro. Is there anything else you can
37:56
check the? Other vending machine if you
37:57
want roll 3D10. Yeah, let me look.
38:00
So you find 2 expired egg sandwiches and another canister
38:05
of hand sanitizer in a packet of Gisner snaps.
38:08
I'll get the gisner snaps. Nice.
38:11
For retro. 15 eddies. Here you go, retro.
38:16
I know it's not weed, but it'll at least, you know, be a nice
38:20
little treat. And that's certainly a stomach
38:22
for Melia. Wow, this tastes much saltier
38:27
when you're not high. You said there were egg
38:29
sandwiches in there. Expired egg sandwiches there.
38:32
Were two egg sandwiches they're. Two expired egg sandwiches.
38:35
They are 10 eddies each. Can I fonzie them out?
38:38
True. What are you?
38:40
Are you trying to get those egg sandwiches?
38:42
Retro. Yeah, I'm hungry.
38:44
They're expired. You don't know that.
38:48
You know what? Basic text 32 you get 2 expired
38:52
egg expired. If you get sick later, don't
38:56
come crying to me. You can see the mould on one
38:59
side of both of the sandwiches. It's.
39:00
Cracking up and it just smells of sulfur.
39:03
It's. Fully horrible.
39:04
Yeah, OK. Not.
39:06
That you would know because you have no sense of smell.
39:08
I mean, I register there's a shit load of sulphur.
39:11
Yeah, Yeah. I'll just have one of these
39:12
later, OK? That, that smells, that smells
39:17
disgusting, Why? Why would you eat that?
39:20
That does not seem good for your stomach whining.
39:25
You're going to feel ill later. My body, my choice, where we are
39:28
to. All right, good luck.
39:31
OK. And retro you head over to the
39:34
door where the panel is. What do we say on the door?
39:39
You see that it has a console next to it and it's just on the
39:42
console it says locked. What's the what looks like to be
39:46
the opening mechanism? This keypad?
39:49
Describe it to me please. Yes, there's also a spot to put
39:52
in a a card as a key. It's just just standard Night
39:55
city lock. Nothing too.
39:57
Crazy. Hey y'all want to learn a cool
39:59
trick since I'm still in a somewhat positive mood.
40:04
Go ahead. Right, Retro's going to Retro's
40:06
going to pull out his wallet, which is also to him one of his
40:10
master tools and he's going to pull out an expired Eddie card.
40:16
Cool and he's going to he's all right here's the thing.
40:19
So this looks like to be more of a downgraded version on some of
40:25
the other key cards that we typically see in buildings.
40:29
This one's probably more than often.
40:31
It's going to be one of the ones that just kind of goes off of a
40:34
magnetic strip for the deal. Thing is that you can trick it
40:37
really good if you swipe it super quickly in multiple
40:41
fashions. It gets confused and it doesn't
40:43
necessarily know what to do. And you watch Retro take this
40:47
card and just slide it in and out in just sort of a very
40:49
specific way, and an error appears on screen, your 29
40:54
electronic security deck. So the door opens and make sure
40:59
you look into this room and they're sitting on the sofa
41:02
staring at you is a man who has seen your butt hole.
41:09
You. Me.
41:13
You. Two.
41:17
You motherfucker. Well.
41:20
You're the reason I had to pay extra money for that stupid
41:23
organ replacement. I mean, you know, I didn't
41:26
realize you'd be so mad that I fucked your mother, but we can
41:31
work it out. Right.
41:32
If you thought you were going to get away with anything at all in
41:36
this room conversation wise, you are running out of fuse.
41:42
OK, hold on, hold on, hold on. And I'm going to, I'm going to
41:45
pull out my card with my eddies on it.
41:49
Look, man, look here. How much do I owe you?
41:55
What I had to pay 750 and he's in late fees. 750 in late fees.
42:02
100 and 750, yeah. So I was.
42:05
I stole some shit. OK, look, how about this, how
42:10
about I give you 900, right? I'll pay for that.
42:13
And then the additional on top of, you know your pain and
42:16
suffering you've had to deal with.
42:20
Oh, OK. Yeah, I'm going to come over to,
42:22
I'm going to back. Let's let's let's do the
42:24
transfer. You got your stuff ready for
42:26
transfer. Yeah.
42:28
OK, let me get it set up here. Give give me all your your
42:31
information so I can go and do that.
42:33
He pulls out his tile and you can tap to trade money using
42:38
that. OK, it's been a minute.
42:41
I haven't had any. You want something to eat?
42:42
I got these egg sandwiches you want.
42:43
You want one. Roll Persuasion.
42:46
I'm going to put two points of luck in this. 20. +2 Luck. +2
42:52
luck, that's 22. I genuinely just rolled A2.
42:56
So he, without thinking, while he's looking at you distracting,
42:59
grabs the sandwich and shoves half of it in his mouth.
43:05
Well, and while he's distracted with that, I'd like to take my
43:09
K, my K hammer shotgun. Holy shit.
43:13
Crash him in the face with the side of it and then proceed to
43:17
then stick the barrel directly into his mouth.
43:22
Roll Brawling. Don't mess with the retro today.
43:25
Oh shit, shit. That's that's brawling if you
43:28
want to do that so. I never use it that much so.
43:36
2318 Not enough. You tackle him to the ground,
43:41
and as he's yakking up pieces of this sandwich, you shove a
43:44
shotgun into his mouth. You.
43:52
Tattoo maelstroms on the sofa like looking at your.
43:55
Fuck. Yeah, you guys can just sit
43:58
down, chill. If I see you move even your arm,
44:02
his head's going to disappear. So let's make a choice.
44:07
See how much you care about your buddy.
44:08
All right. Now, VB, Vendel and Iona, are
44:14
you doing anything from the doorway in this situation?
44:17
I'm kind of just watching at this point it it's amazing that
44:23
a switch was flipped so fast. Yes, I'm a little concerned.
44:28
Should we do something? I think.
44:31
We just let him cook. Let him cook.
44:35
Meanwhile, in this incredibly Ted situation, Jeb on his own in
44:39
a vent and Jeb, I need you to roll perception for me. 21 Yes,
44:44
you have discovered that there are two exits to this vent, one
44:48
fairly close to where you entered, and two ride at the
44:51
end. Are they exits or entrances?
44:55
Yes, they're vents. Well as as Jeb approaches the
45:01
closest entrance to to to the one that he entered.
45:09
Nice. He's going to, he's going to
45:10
peek up. He's going to peek the open up
45:13
the vent, just slide it and see what he can see inside.
45:15
Roll stealth 22. Yes, you're able to peek.
45:18
You can open that door and look, no one will see you.
45:20
OK, so looks like we've got kind of a giant room with some
45:28
vending machines and a couch and a little coffee table.
45:36
And what are these? What do they say?
45:38
They say maelstrom. Scaver.
45:43
Scaver. Yes, you just got 3 maelstrom
45:45
dudes hanging around a table. They're playing cards.
45:48
Oh, all right, all right. Jim's gonna keep going, Gonna
45:52
keep going to the next to the next entrance and try to peek.
45:57
That one as well. All right, Ross, Stealth 18.
46:00
Yes, that is also enough for you to peek through the door.
46:03
All right, this other one, similar situation, except these
46:07
maelstroms are watching TV. One of them is working on a
46:12
vehicle of some description. Oh, is that right?
46:17
Oh, that's big. That's that's what we're looking
46:20
for, folks. Hey, friends.
46:26
Friends. Yeah.
46:28
Mm. Hmm, Jeb, I found it.
46:32
I found it, folks. I found it.
46:33
The whirly bird. Where?
46:35
Where is it? Where are you?
46:37
I'm in the vans and what you got to do is you got to go into the
46:41
van and then past the first entrance to the last entrance.
46:47
You know what, don't worry about it.
46:48
I'm just I think I could take them.
46:51
Hey, Jeb, quick question from you.
46:53
Scott in do you see any other doors that lead in?
46:57
Well, there's a big old garage door in the in the center of the
47:02
room, but there does seem to be a door on the southern wall.
47:09
Like a regular door. Like this regular door, you find
47:12
it any kind of domicile. Like a regular door with a door
47:15
handle and hinges. OK, that looks very similar to a
47:19
door that I'm looking at at the moment.
47:21
Well, here, here, here. Just peek through it real quick
47:25
and I'll see if it opens. I'll just call to the team if if
47:29
anyone of y'all lot want to go take a peek in the store so Jeff
47:33
can see. Where we're at, just like stick
47:35
a stick, like a like your hand through it real quick and do a
47:38
quick wave and then just like, you know, retract it real, real
47:41
quick. Whoa, whoa, whoa, buddy, that
47:43
did not say you could leave off of that couch.
47:46
Now you're. Talking to man.
47:47
You got a gun in our guy's face, man.
47:49
Oh, it seems like you're busy. Retro, retro.
47:53
I'm going to leave you. Do you think I I think I could
47:55
take these guys. I really do.
47:57
So listen for the fireworks. Next time on no latency.
48:17
Maybe you stop him. Shanked him and now I'm going to
48:21
wheel him back in. Oh what, you didn't think the
48:23
time that Retro spent with Sano didn't learn how to fight?
48:26
Where your worst nightmare? Oh, hi.
48:29
Hello. I'll get out of your hair, won't
48:30
have to put a bull in your. Head wrecked shotgun to the face
48:33
of the guy in front of me. Oh yeah, you didn't see us
48:36
waving from the doorway. Thanks for the cover, Iona.
48:39
I can't imagine y'all know how to fly that thing, do you?
48:42
I try. Well, isn't that a close one
48:44
now? Stop fighting us.
48:46
That's a rough one. I got to tell you.
48:48
That's a high DV to fix you up. So sorry buddy.
48:51
Period. That's it.
48:52
You sure I don't have the time? Bang.
48:56
Do you have any of the wipes? So I want you to put your
48:58
weapons down. Listen, we can do this all day.
49:00
Yeah. Are you going to give up now?
49:02
Where is Chad? Whoa, whoa.
49:04
You have no idea we're capable of.
49:06
Actually, I'm all on board for this plan.
