• 0:02
  Last time on no latency. So we going to kill these robots
• 0:06
  first or? No, I do think we should kill
• 0:09
  the robots. Agreeing.
• 0:10
  Oh boy. Well, that one's looking like
• 0:11
  it's a. Slice up a.
• 0:13
  Little worse for wear. Why don't we finish that one
• 0:14
  off? Slice.
• 0:15
  Up through the chest. Oh, you can do it.
• 0:18
  Hey give a quick high 5. And you don't have to feel bad
• 0:22
  because they're just robots. Taking some swings at these
• 0:25
  things. I'm waiting.
• 0:26
  I've been on in like 20 minutes. I've been trying to get trauma
• 0:28
  team to get here. You're calling trauma team.
• 0:30
  He's a pretty hurt man. Jeb, if you touch my bottom, we
• 0:34
  are going to have severe problems.
• 0:35
  Oh. Thank you.
• 0:36
  Gotta get somebody to you. You're you're pretty guys.
• 0:39
  Look, there's porta potties down here.
• 0:40
  Oh. Great.
• 0:41
  He's obviously in a bad way. What about the manager?
• 0:44
  Oh no, he's hot. Dive.
• 0:45
  Over the coffee table into him. What'd you say, Retro?
• 0:48
  No. Phoebe, you've just pushed this
• 1:01
  mimic to the ground. It tried to shoot retro.
• 1:04
  I'm just going to take him out, grab my bat.
• 1:08
  Oh man, this is well, he's a mimic.
• 1:10
  He's a mimic. Take my bat and just slam it.
• 1:16
  Slam it into his face. God damn, I mean.
• 1:21
  God damn. Says Vandel from outside the
• 1:25
  door. 19 they get a -1 because they have just been pushed over.
• 1:31
  Oh and they beat it by 1 and the minute dodges your first attack.
• 1:39
  Damn. God damn it.
• 1:42
  Rolling over. Oh, still on, still on the
• 1:44
  ground. Oh my goodness, I should have
• 1:46
  put. I should have put lock into
• 1:47
  this. So we should get in there,
• 1:48
  right? Those three that are technically
• 1:50
  out still outside the door. Oh, hey, are you?
• 1:54
  Sure. V VS Bat thongs off the ground
• 1:57
  as she misses again and the mimic dodges once more.
• 2:01
  I'm struggling. He's a crappy son bitch.
• 2:05
  Guys, he's a mimic. Let's take him out.
• 2:09
  We clearly forgot one. We missed one.
• 2:12
  Yeah, we we forgot one. Say less I'm.
• 2:17
  There only a mimic will run this place so shabbily.
• 2:19
  Should we roll initiative? No.
• 2:24
  OK. All right, Well, if it's just
• 2:28
  going to be anybody go then I'm going to try to if you want to
• 2:35
  roll an issue if you can, but it doesn't feel that you need to
• 2:37
  for an enemy. Man, whatever you're, you're the
• 2:42
  GM. I guess I'm going to try to make
• 2:45
  an aim shot. I'm going to try to hit the
• 2:50
  mimic in where its mouth would be or where we think the math is
• 2:56
  with my cannon on my arm. OK, Retro, you raise your arm,
• 3:01
  the cannon slides out of your forearm, pointing towards the
• 3:07
  glitching mimic that half the time looks like the manager of
• 3:10
  this facility, and half the time looks like a silver steel like
• 3:14
  robot. Yeah, not like that, you say, as
• 3:18
  the bullet rings out from your arm.
• 3:20
  Oh, sorry. I think you misinterpreted what
• 3:22
  I was saying. I'm going to run at it, and I'm
• 3:25
  going to try to shove the barrel of that gun in its mouth.
• 3:28
  Oh, right. OK, then roll for that.
• 3:32
  Good. Jump in the background.
• 3:35
  Good. That's good.
• 3:37
  I like. That that's very funny Brawling
• 3:40
  22, it tries to evade Rosa Crit fail 6 and you shove the barrel
• 3:46
  of your gun into the skull of this mimic, breaking the
• 3:50
  holographic illusion completely as it fizzles into holographic
• 3:56
  particles around the body. Mind blowing huh?
• 3:59
  And then I'll just unleash the shot.
• 4:01
  Nice. Good.
• 4:05
  Pull the trigger, OK? God forbid it jams.
• 4:10
  Again. No fucking way.
• 4:16
  And it jams. Oh.
• 4:20
  My God. Retro you pull the trigger.
• 4:24
  Retro shoot him. Retro, didn't you make that gun?
• 4:29
  Yeah, that doesn't mean that you know everything.
• 4:32
  You know what? Life happens, all right?
• 4:34
  I don't. I don't need to.
• 4:36
  You try and pull away. But you did roll a crit fail, so
• 4:38
  the barrel of gun is now stuck in the head of this mimic.
• 4:42
  Oh. Yeah, I'm leaving.
• 4:43
  My arm around these, the body's just flinging around with it.
• 4:47
  Someone needs to finish him, get it off, get.
• 4:49
  It off and it tries to hit you but Rosicruit fail and misses,
• 4:53
  hitting the coffee table and causing a chip of it to fly off
• 4:57
  and clink against the screen on the other wall.
• 5:00
  It goes to attack you again. Beat a 15 of Asian 22.
• 5:05
  You dodge, you dodge the punch, pelvic thrust back.
• 5:09
  Oh, what a mess, Jeb. Well, there's only one thing
• 5:14
  that I could think of doing. Wow.
• 5:20
  Wow. Man, I am.
• 5:22
  Oh, that's what I got. What am I?
• 5:25
  I'm like 60% critting right now. That's a lot.
• 5:30
  You're like 69% critting right now.
• 5:32
  Nice. Let's go.
• 5:34
  Come on. Very nice.
• 5:36
  Down though round the middle, let it flow.
• 5:40
  Hell yeah. One bullet passes by Retro's
• 5:44
  head on the right and hits the mimic.
• 5:46
  The mimic tries to evade the other way and you shoot to the
• 5:49
  left of Retro. It flies past his left side and
• 5:51
  hits the mimic. Both hit both only doing 6
• 5:56
  damage, which is genuinely not a lot, but it's enough to damage
• 6:02
  the mimic, although it is still attached to Retro's arm.
• 6:06
  This is not what anyone expected, Iona.
• 6:09
  Vandella, I think you should get in there.
• 6:12
  I definitely, that's what I said.
• 6:13
  What should I do? I think that you should you
• 6:15
  should roller skate over there. Running jump triple kick with
• 6:19
  your power lift hell. Yeah, yeah.
• 6:22
  I think you. Should get it off.
• 6:24
  Oh get it off. Get off, get on.
• 6:25
  Yeah, kick me off I. Can kick you with my powerful
• 6:30
  leg in. My mind, I'm just from the
• 6:34
  thing. Everything bites the guy's head.
• 6:36
  You can tell it's an obvious Spanish and puppet thing.
• 6:38
  Right. That's what's going on, just
• 6:41
  smashing into everything as he's latched on in my arm.
• 6:45
  Retro, retro. You feel a tug on your arm as
• 6:49
  Vendel places their power leg against the shoulder of the
• 6:53
  Mimic and shunts the Mimic across the room between two
• 6:57
  chairs. Stepping forward does a
• 7:00
  Roundhouse kick and manages to hit the mimic for a second hit,
• 7:07
  causing a very large amount of damage.
• 7:10
  Triple kick Vendel, you have a third one. 24 Why do I have so
• 7:16
  many? Rate of five, three things.
• 7:17
  Those are illegal. I don't care.
• 7:22
  Illegal has literally never. Stopped.
• 7:24
  This and this mimic only rolled a 21 so I'm sorry but you're
• 7:29
  taking damage bitch. Yeah.
• 7:34
  Red eagled across the desk. Yeah, yeah.
• 7:38
  Vendel deserves Vendel deserves this.
• 7:42
  It's head cocks up, it's eyes glow red and I honor.
• 7:46
  I think you're the last to play. Shoot, shoot heck down.
• 7:53
  Yeah, that's right. I'm going to move a little
• 7:55
  closer so as to not shoot Retro or Vendel and try and put a
• 8:01
  bullet in this mimic. Yes, please.
• 8:04
  It's. Kind of sprawled on the floor
• 8:06
  still that's. True.
• 8:09
  Yeah. Looking disappointed at their
• 8:11
  baseball bat. Yeah, time to put.
• 8:15
  Time to put you away. What for?
• 8:17
  Good. It's a baseball bat, 21.
• 8:20
  All right. You said you stepped in a little
• 8:22
  bit, so you stepped in a little bit.
• 8:24
  Yeah, that's enough. Oh, wow.
• 8:27
  No, that's enough. Even if you were on the other
• 8:28
  side, because that's. Like. 60 feet.
• 8:32
  Wow. Cool.
• 8:33
  Nice, because 10 damage and you have another show.
• 8:37
  I do, I do. I was hoping the first one would
• 8:40
  take you out. The robot starts to laugh
• 8:46
  manically as it's spread eagle on the desk.
• 8:49
  You step forward, past Retro, pulling your gun out again, and
• 8:54
  you shoot. It obviously doesn't have a lot
• 8:57
  of health, but it jerks in such a way that it skirts along the
• 9:01
  desk, and you blow a hole open in the desk.
• 9:03
  It's somehow still alive and Vivi might get her revenge.
• 9:10
  Someone please fucking kill this thing.
• 9:13
  All right, baseball bat, do not let me down this time or else
• 9:17
  it's time to say goodbye. And I'm going to put some luck
• 9:22
  points into this. Let's put 4 luck points into
• 9:28
  this. So let's add a + 4 to this role.
• 9:33
  Hey, 20. Nice.
• 9:35
  Yeah. You step forward 20 feet and
• 9:39
  smack your baseball bat into this mimic as it sprawled on the
• 9:43
  desk. You hear a very satisfying crack
• 9:47
  as it breaks apart and shuts down below you, sparking
• 9:51
  slightly as it finally gives up the ghost.
• 9:55
  The room goes silent. Sigh of relief.
• 10:02
  My sentiments exactly all. Right.
• 10:05
  So, so that was the last one, right?
• 10:07
  We can call in these guys and start making some, yeah, some
• 10:11
  suits. I've checked the rest of the
• 10:13
  warehouse that I have not found any other mimics do.
• 10:18
  You want to roll perception in this room?
• 10:19
  You've never been in here before.
• 10:21
  Sure, sure. Retro, did you call trauma team
• 10:36
  earlier? I.
• 10:37
  Mean I am calling trauma team. I'm still on.
• 10:41
  Hold. You're still on hold.
• 10:43
  Yeah, bro, bro, I'll see if they pick up.
• 10:46
  Well, I'm going to wait. I mean, Phoebe has something to
• 10:49
  say. Let me see.
• 10:51
  I just more was just wondering about this guy Kurt.
• 10:59
  Yeah. Were you calling for him?
• 11:05
  I help him with some insurance. Yeah.
• 11:08
  I mean, I could all right. Let me try to help him.
• 11:11
  I can try to help him. Let me.
• 11:17
  Retro, are you still on hold with Trauma Team?
• 11:19
  You have to roll a face down again to save the pickup.
• 11:21
  I mean, I, I VV, do you want me to hang up on Trauma Team?
• 11:26
  I was trying to get some kind of ambulance.
• 11:27
  Here, no, you know what keep trauma team on the line.
• 11:30
  He's probably he looks like he may need additional medical
• 11:34
  attention outside from what I could give him.
• 11:37
  I got 22. You managed to replace his IV
• 11:42
  bag, ripping off the first one you put on him and placing on a
• 11:45
  second attaches to him like Velcro and pushes the nutrients
• 11:50
  through his skin. The first one he drank like a
• 11:55
  animal after a drought. This one is seeping in at a
• 11:59
  slightly slower rate, and you watch him relax and sigh a
• 12:03
  little bit. If he gains a little health.
• 12:06
  Retro. Yeah, whatever it is, +1314. 00.
• 12:13
  That's a Crip fails, you lose connection and if you want to
• 12:17
  control the team, you have to go back to the beginning of the
• 12:21
  digital queue. I will let you call again.
• 12:25
  It's just your Crip fail. Yeah, yeah, I'll call again.
• 12:31
  Cool. I'm going to roll again.
• 12:36
  Yeah, Nice. 16. I roll to 1.
• 12:43
  Thank you for holding. Thank you.
• 12:44
  We will connect you just a few moments.
• 13:09

• 14:22
  Oh, Oh well in. The district, I mean, you know,
• 14:26
  up in Westbrook. Well, look, Chad, do you think
• 14:29
  you could maybe bump up our request in the queue just a
• 14:34
  little bit, just, you know, for, for us, for me, Phoebe.
• 14:43
  You know, because of the stuff that you and I have been through
• 14:47
  that I have been devoted not once but twice.
• 14:52
  I lost an ambulance. It didn't come back in very good
• 14:56
  condition. As a medical professional, I
• 14:59
  lost my kidneys. It doesn't look good, but you
• 15:03
  know I'll do anything for love, Jesus.
• 15:08
  If. This means that you reply to my
• 15:12
  texts. Then Chad, after this, I will
• 15:18
  make sure to shoot you a message and maybe we can go meet at the
• 15:23
  Bubble Cafe sometime. Oh, that.
• 15:25
  'D be great. OK, we can.
• 15:27
  We can we can just like treat it like a first date.
• 15:30
  Still, I want to do something stupid like say that you're like
• 15:32
  my. Mom, Oh gosh, that's.
• 15:36
  Ever happened? To you that would be weird that
• 15:38
  I mentioned. That.
• 15:40
  Yeah, yeah, the yeah, that would be anyway, Chad, just you know,
• 15:46
  I, I appreciate you helping us getting, getting a request in
• 15:50
  soon because so. What do you need the the the
• 15:54
  other the guy on the phone, he didn't say.
• 15:56
  Sorry, Retro, back to you. Back to you.
• 16:03
  Oh, sorry, I didn't realize I was part of this conversation.
• 16:10
  Yeah, there's a, there's a guy dying.
• 16:13
  I don't know, I don't know. I don't know how bad his heart
• 16:16
  is compared to y'all's at the moment.
• 16:19
  But yeah, he's in pretty bad condition over at PPECAD.
• 16:27
  Looks like it's a, it's a workplace incident.
• 16:29
  So of course, you know, they're going to be having to cover the
• 16:31
  bill from, you know, workers comp and and such for that.
• 16:34
  So you'll be billing them. I swear to God, Chad, if I see
• 16:38
  anything that comes back to me, you will not make that date.
• 16:46
  It's over, Claire. OK.
• 16:48
  A trogue I'm. Not sick dude, I'm doing you a
• 16:50
  favor. But whatever, I'm close by, I'll
• 16:55
  be over soon. So what was that about?
• 17:01
  Sit down. I don't know.
• 17:02
  That's Vivi. I was this.
• 17:04
  I was the C in their AB conversation.
• 17:07
  Huh. Yeah, I'm, I was just saying hi
• 17:11
  to Chad, you know, because I hadn't, I didn't realize he was
• 17:15
  working at Trauma Team again. And I figured, you know, if we
• 17:19
  wanted to help this guy, we could.
• 17:21
  Chad could help us out, that's all.
• 17:26
  Yeah, I mean. Nothing more to it at all.
• 17:30
  I'm just wondering, you know, is this Chad guys, you know, is
• 17:33
  this going to be a problem for us later on?
• 17:37
  I For a while he didn't have kidneys, so it it wasn't looking
• 17:41
  good for him. He just seems to run into a lot
• 17:45
  of bad, bad luck. I don't know what what that is.
• 17:49
  Yeah. Bummer.
• 17:51
  Yeah. Are you bringing?
• 17:53
  Does that mean that you guys are bringing bad luck here?
• 17:56
  No prob. Probably not.
• 17:58
  No. OK.
• 18:05
  Anyway, thanks, thanks Retro for for taking care of that.
• 18:12
  I'll, I'll help this guy out in the meantime, Kurt, while we get
• 18:18
  actual good, you know, the, the good, the good, good is coming.
• 18:22
  Trauma team, you know. Yeah, I don't have trauma team
• 18:26
  insurance. Is it going to be OK?
• 18:29
  That's all right. We got, I got somebody on the
• 18:31
  inside that'll help you out. Thanks, Chad.
• 18:34
  Just ask for Chad. Just ask.
• 18:36
  For Chad, I don't normally do that.
• 18:38
  Chad's a usually. Pretty chatty.
• 18:40
  Yeah, I know, I know. Oh.
• 18:43
  That's. Cold.
• 18:44
  It's cold, but. But don't worry about it, I I'll
• 18:47
  help you out and we'll we'll get this all sorted.
• 18:51
  Yeah, just don't leave this Chad hanging, OK?
• 18:54
  Ha ha ha ha ha. Hanging Chad joke?
• 18:57
  I think that's AI think that's a voting joke.
• 19:01
  What? Weird.
• 19:05
  A democratic process? Damn, Jeff, I'm, I'll be honest,
• 19:10
  very surprised that you recognize that.
• 19:15
  That's me. We're.
• 19:16
  All learned. OK, so.
• 19:23
  You've already stabilized him enough as you can.
• 19:26
  You're up pretty high. OK, so now that he's good, we
• 19:29
  have to get the these Ppes. Yeah, so, so now we we call in
• 19:36
  the. Workers, these poor workers,
• 19:39
  have been just protesting outside for like hours now while
• 19:44
  we were in here. Yeah.
• 19:47
  They're probably thirsty are. You just going to leave this
• 19:53
  room? Yes.
• 19:55
  OK, not me. OK, I'm I'm patting down the
• 20:00
  manager, see if he had anything on him.
• 20:04
  I'm going to go rally the people.
• 20:06
  Everything that the manager looked like they were carrying
• 20:08
  on them was a holocrow. It is just a mimic.
• 20:12
  Fuck. You can roll to scrap the mimic
• 20:15
  if you want or you can look around the room.
• 20:17
  I will look around the room. Maybe there something on a
• 20:21
  computer or something. Sounds good.
• 20:23
  Roll perception. Fuck it, fuck it.
• 20:30
  So I a crit failed 12 you fall back over a chair discovering
• 20:35
  nothing. It is embarrassing, Bendel
• 20:37
  laughed. That's funny.
• 20:39
  Oh, was that not on purpose? That's really embarrassing.
• 20:42
  And I saw it. I saw every bit of it.
• 20:44
  You just. There was a chair behind you.
• 20:45
  Why didn't you look? Yeah, it wasn't very perceptive.
• 20:50
  Yeah. Did you see that?
• 20:50
  That was really funny. I'm making fun of Retro.
• 20:52
  Sorry. What?
• 20:53
  What were you? Sorry, I wasn't really
• 20:56
  perceiving. Maybe you should draw
• 20:58
  Perception. Retro is just going to lie in
• 21:01
  this failure right now. Just think about everything
• 21:03
  that's happened so far, everything that's come to this.
• 21:06
  It's just. Oh my God.
• 21:09
  I can't stop critting. What the hell is?
• 21:13
  He going on. Gently rolled the wrong thing.
• 21:16
  I still crit on it. What?
• 21:18
  The hell. You're all a crit success.
• 21:24
  So I was really. Concentration and on perception.
• 21:27
  A 23 and a 28 respectively. And what you notice as you're
• 21:32
  walking around, ignoring Retro being on the floor, is that
• 21:35
  there are 6 lockers in here, a computer that as you pass has
• 21:40
  control to open the gate outside, and one of the lockers,
• 21:45
  the furthest one just here on the left, is slightly ajar, like
• 21:50
  there's something pushing against the door.
• 21:59
  Wait a minute, what's that? And I, I kind of like slowly,
• 22:08
  cautiously walk over and I open the locker.
• 22:14
  Roll Evasion. 3000 miles of open Rd.
• 22:34
  The Jeb and Retro Show. Oh man, this is going to be
• 22:37
  tough. Join Jeb.
• 22:39
  Wakey wakey, sleepy Princess. And retro.
• 22:43
  I did not agree to this, Jeb. On the road trip of a lifetime.
• 22:47
  Oh yeah, she did. Vans got some shoes on the mix.
• 22:51
  No, it was the second car to the left.
• 22:54
  As they take on Route 66. The Jeb and Retro Show brought
• 22:59
  to you by No Latency. I hate Rd. trips.

• 23:26
  18 Yes, that is enough. A dead body falls out of it's
• 23:33
  like. Resident Evil.
• 23:35
  The manager. It's the body of the manager
• 23:38
  that the mimic replaced. Poor guy who's in this other
• 23:46
  locker, and I opened up the other two.
• 23:51
  That's my boy. Call me AD 6 six.
• 23:54
  Yeah, all right. You find 6 things as you search
• 23:58
  the lockers. Smoke Flare Trash Trash $25.
• 24:08
  Papers. Where's my my my dollars, dear?
• 24:13
  Here we go. So, Jeb, as you're looking
• 24:16
  through the lockers, leaving this dead body on the ground,
• 24:18
  you find a full can of soda. It's a jizz net ale.
• 24:22
  You find 2 smoke flares, some papers for their PPE company, 25
• 24:28
  bucks, and literally a piece of trash that was shelved into the
• 24:31
  corner of a locker like an empty kettle bag.
• 24:35
  Oh, some some good stuff, some not great stuff.
• 24:40
  Yeah, and a. Dead body.
• 24:41
  Nice. Yeah, that would be part of the
• 24:43
  not great stuff. Yeah.
• 24:46
  Did you find anything on the computer?
• 24:49
  Oh yeah, I didn't really look at the computer.
• 24:50
  I think I saw that it opens the gate, but you know, nothing big
• 24:53
  or anything. I like, I like how Jeb's RNG
• 24:57
  Jesus right now, it's very humble about it.
• 25:00
  Phoebe, do you need the gate open?
• 25:03
  Yes. Please Jeb, push the button.
• 25:07
  Oh yeah, sure. Oh God, I don't know which one.
• 25:11
  This one. Yeah, you roll a crate, you get
• 25:13
  the right one. Yeah.
• 25:15
  Thank you, I was hoping that was going to be the joke instead of
• 25:17
  me rolling again. And the gate outside opens
• 25:21
  automatically and stays open. Nice.
• 25:26
  OK, I'm going to go rally the people.
• 25:32
  Yeah, let's go rally. You step out into the street and
• 25:36
  they're still screaming. No more bots, no more bots.
• 25:41
  Fuck the clankers, Fuck the clankers.
• 25:44
  Yeah, that too. People of PPECAD.
• 25:53
  Yeah, that's me. I'm here to tell you that that
• 26:01
  the bots, the robots are no more.
• 26:08
  They've been destroyed. They're gone.
• 26:11
  And they will never take a single job from any of you ever
• 26:16
  again. Never will we have robots take
• 26:23
  human jobs. Well.
• 26:26
  You know, like. Raw war driven style.
• 26:30
  At this particular facility, I don't know if we can see.
• 26:33
  Little jobs. Never.
• 26:34
  Ever. We need them to do something for
• 26:39
  us. Shut the fuck up.
• 26:42
  So they. Can't hear you.
• 26:43
  We're inside, so we can just hear it through the window.
• 26:45
  Oh. My gosh, you know, maybe.
• 26:49
  Over promising, but Whoopi. Over promise, undeliver
• 26:55
  undelivere. There it is.
• 26:56
  I didn't even deliver with that sentence.
• 26:58
  Bebe, you rolled an 18, and this crowd rallies around you.
• 27:03
  Yeah. And they're like cheering you
• 27:08
  on. So.
• 27:11
  Come join me and let's let's. Build some pee pee.
• 27:18
  Let's come join me and let's build some pee pees.
• 27:21
  Let's build some pee pee EE. Yeah, they follow you into this,
• 27:27
  into this place. And one of them standing beside
• 27:30
  you. You.
• 27:30
  Know I fucking hate working here. 1 great thing about this
• 27:33
  place is our awesome manager. Sam was great.
• 27:38
  I love that guy. Oh.
• 27:42
  Where is. He, I am, I am so sorry to tell
• 27:50
  you this, but Sam, he's gone. Oh did he step out?
• 27:56
  He does have a lot of of PTO. No, we.
• 28:02
  Long vacation. He's.
• 28:07
  What are you going to say, baby? How do I?
• 28:10
  So Phoebe, you've got you. You, I I would like you to roll
• 28:14
  human perception to realize something or not.
• 28:19
  That morale is going to help. Us.
• 28:21
  Yeah, we need them. Yeah, we need them to build.
• 28:23
  People, So you don't need to roll for that.
• 28:24
  OK, good. OK.
• 28:25
  Fine, Yeah, he's he's, he stepped out.
• 28:31
  Oh fuck. Then Dell closes the curtains.
• 28:35
  So hopefully he'll be back in a bit.
• 28:40
  But yeah, he's he's not here. As you pass by the manager's
• 28:46
  door, you see Vendel close it. Shift eyes to Vendel.
• 28:51
  Like with a little sweat down on my side.
• 28:55
  Yeah. But for now, we take our human
• 29:00
  jobs and we build human materials.
• 29:06
  Human humans. For humans, yeah.
• 29:12
  So since you got us our jobs back, do you want us to do
• 29:15
  something for you in like a favoured Night City kind of way?
• 29:20
  You know, I wasn't going to say anything, but now that you've
• 29:24
  authored my crew here and I, we we do need some PPE buckets.
• 29:30
  Some what's APPE bucket. It's wait, do you guys not know
• 29:39
  what they mean? Yeah.
• 29:39
  The fire, right? Oh yeah.
• 29:42
  There's. Something like R&D project we
• 29:44
  don't know about. Oh, we haven't seen Kurt.
• 29:47
  In a while, is he OK? He's a little, he's going to be
• 29:52
  OK. He he took a little bit of a, a,
• 29:54
  a beating hurting, but we call trauma team.
• 29:58
  So they're on their way. Yeah, right.
• 30:01
  You guys weren't this yes, this is some R&D project and I do
• 30:05
  pull out the flyer. This is yeah, this.
• 30:11
  Do you guys think you could help us build this?
• 30:14
  Yeah, but not as good as Kurt. Well.
• 30:20
  If you had Kurt, maybe help in a little bit.
• 30:23
  He's he's a little banged up. I, I tried to help.
• 30:25
  I'm a doctor. I tried to help him a little
• 30:27
  bit. But if he was like there to
• 30:28
  supervise, would that help? He's got better hands than us,
• 30:34
  so he'd have to do it to get like a good one, like it says in
• 30:38
  the memo. But I mean, I guess he could
• 30:43
  help. Let's not fuck it up.
• 30:45
  But I'm going to be real, I don't think we'd really be able
• 30:48
  to get it beyond like 100%. I see gang, should we have Kurt?
• 30:57
  Dude. No, he's messed up.
• 31:00
  He's a. Real messed up.
• 31:01
  Look, we believe in you, OK? You all have are just as
• 31:07
  capable. If you believe in yourselves,
• 31:10
  you could do this. Never say never.
• 31:15
  Roll, wardrobe and style. The only thing stopping you is
• 31:20
  yourselves. Hold.
• 31:25
  Wow, she looks great. Whatever she's doing is.
• 31:28
  It her is. It her hair.
• 31:31
  Your cat ears light up and. That makes all the difference.
• 31:37
  And along with what you are saying, they pulse with
• 31:40
  positivity. You are neon and motivated.
• 31:45
  You are neon and motivating. And as you step into the
• 31:50
  warehouse with this crew of people, you step on one of the
• 31:54
  dead mimics. There's like a punctuation to
• 31:58
  your point, a very cheer. Yeah.
• 32:02
  Let's go to our machines. This is my job.
• 32:06
  You really should be. You know what?
• 32:12
  I think with that speech, I think retro, even though it's
• 32:15
  been a depressive funk since that happened, feels inspired to
• 32:21
  try to help out as well. And so I would like to see if
• 32:27
  this works for the DM. Kurt is pretty much hurt down.
• 32:32
  We're not going to be able to beat that hundred.
• 32:35
  Yeah. Can I use my tech maker role for
• 32:40
  upgrade expertise to make an attempt an attempt?
• 32:46
  Yes, you can. The issue you have though, is
• 32:51
  you're in the manager's office right now and while all of this
• 32:55
  success that is happening with Phoebe, unfortunately Kurt,
• 33:03
  nobody tried to hide the dead body from Kurt and Kurt is now
• 33:07
  staring at the dead body of Sam in tears from the sofa.
• 33:11
  Oh. Sam.
• 33:16
  Oh no, buddy. No.
• 33:31
  I couldn't see that I could have.
• 33:38
  I was in control. Buddy.
• 33:42
  I thought I was in control. Buddy, don't.
• 33:48
  It's my fault. It's my fault, man.
• 33:55
  TV guy. Yep, it's.
• 33:57
  My fault. Yes, that's correct.
• 34:01
  Tell me everything. Tell me why it's your fault.
• 34:04
  Come on. I was controlling the mimics.
• 34:06
  That mimic killed him didn't. It no.
• 34:09
  I mean, we don't know that the mimic killed him, but you were
• 34:13
  controlling how many mimics? I don't know, somewhere between
• 34:18
  12 and 16. And you couldn't do anything
• 34:22
  except do what, 10% of anything while on that.
• 34:26
  So if you were logically, you know, buddy, if that's the case,
• 34:32
  you couldn't have because you were working with so many,
• 34:36
  there's no way you would have been able to, you know?
• 34:38
  I was able to. Get the one that had tasks to
• 34:40
  loop but I couldn't get to the one in the office after a while.
• 34:44
  And then? There was one in the north where
• 34:46
  they smoke. That one I couldn't control
• 34:51
  anymore. Yeah.
• 34:54
  And so that's not on you. You couldn't control them.
• 34:59
  So that's not on you, right? Could.
• 35:00
  Have done it all. No, What else?
• 35:02
  What? What else could you do, bud?
• 35:05
  He started to have a panic attack.
• 35:07
  Calm, calm down, man. He's not having a panic attack.
• 35:14
  Oh, I thought it was a that was a he's having a panic attack.
• 35:19
  He retro says calm down, man. Oh, he's not having a bad day,
• 35:23
  essentially. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
• 35:25
  You managed to calm him down. But he's not really in a state.
• 35:31
  He's not in a good state. No, no.
• 35:33
  I mean, you know, if if he wasn't terminally like if he
• 35:37
  wasn't like almost at the point of terminally hurt, Retro would
• 35:40
  be like here, just smoke this, you'll be fine.
• 35:41
  But because he's injured, Retro's like this.
• 35:44
  I'm not going to add to that. No, that's probably a bad idea.
• 35:48
  You know what cried all out? But Jeb, you're also in the room
• 35:52
  witnessing this. You're watching him sort of like
• 35:55
  sulk. He's going to.
• 35:59
  Tell them if we let him talk, isn't he?
• 36:03
  Tell them what do we? Do we need him to make the
• 36:10
  stuff? I mean.
• 36:12
  We still get the media one. It's not bad, it's just not like
• 36:15
  the best one. I go over to him.
• 36:21
  Let's hang on the shoulder. Do you feel?
• 36:26
  Any sort of what's the word I'm looking for?
• 36:32
  This is actually me, Peter the the player not really not
• 36:37
  knowing the word I'm looking for.
• 36:41
  Not relief, but when you feel proud of something, you are
• 36:44
  satisfied. Thank you.
• 36:46
  Excuse me. Hey ma'am, you you get any sort
• 36:51
  of satisfaction from a job well done?
• 36:56
  It used to. I know I do.
• 37:00
  You used to, huh? Yeah.
• 37:04
  Well. I was in a.
• 37:05
  Tube for a week, but wasn't it cool?
• 37:08
  I'm just thinking look at it this way.
• 37:13
  You could make a. Really good PPE bucket.
• 37:19
  Then have us use it for good to make this city a better place
• 37:25
  for everybody. That's gotta count for
• 37:29
  something, no? Row persuasion.
• 37:34
  I own it. In the courtyard, you can hear
• 37:37
  the PPE machine start to spin up.
• 37:42
  Now. What if it was?
• 37:44
  Trading instead of persuasion, because we're trading.
• 37:50
  Sure. I'll let you justify trading.
• 37:52
  No, no. No, don't do that.
• 37:53
  Don't cave to me though, so I don't even try.
• 37:56
  All right, fine. No, no, persuasion has to be.
• 37:59
  Well, there it goes. His face crinkles into tears and
• 38:03
  he cries even more. He's kind of lost it.
• 38:06
  He's having a panic attack. You know what only is somebody
• 38:09
  this is. Also a crit.
• 38:11
  So I'm still basically only rolling crit.
• 38:14
  It's this one's a crit fail, but.
• 38:18
  Oh, Jeb, shut up. I'm just going to slap Jeb
• 38:21
  upside his head. I just got him.
• 38:27
  Oh, Jeb, you take two damage. Oh Al, why You hear Iona over
• 38:35
  the radio getting very excited. It's happening.
• 38:39
  It's happening. I can hear it.
• 38:41
  I think they think that they're doing the thing.
• 38:44
  Do you want us all to come to the warehouse?
• 38:46
  I sure do. I would love to watch this
• 38:48
  process. Next time on no latency.
• 39:05
  Yippee. You know, if you listen real
• 39:07
  close, the sound of the machines going together.
• 39:09
  Oh, I asked that earlier. They said that it was.
• 39:11
  Yeah, my hoverboard. I'm Iona, and I'm very happy to
• 39:14
  watch you work on this machine. 00.
• 39:16
  I just mean, I just mean if you need me to do anything.
• 39:18
  That's probably from the depleted uranium.
• 39:20
  Thank you again, truly could. Just be a trauma team.
• 39:24
  Looks like we got everything, so let's I'm.
• 39:26
  A Crip, but it's a 20. 9 She's overwhelmed by the protection.
• 39:30
  Couldn't if I wanted to. They're latched onto that thing
• 39:32
  so hard. Were you staring at me?
• 39:34
  Staring at the peepee for this whole time.
• 39:36
  You seemed really enthralled by it, I mean.
• 39:39
  Honestly I didn't even think about JFX until just now.
• 39:42
  Some of us might have a bit of wealth on us.
• 39:46
  It's OK, sorry, Domino's, It's it's fine.
• 39:48
  I I will just love. These people outside of Clive's,
