S2E144 - Caustic Caustic Caustic · No Latency

• 0:02
  Last time on no latency. More radiation that way.
• 0:06
  Did you guys hear that? Knocking.
• 0:08
  What? What do you mean?
• 0:09
  Who replied to your knock? So that is bad. 9 I take a look
• 0:13
  at the door. That's not true.
• 0:14
  Oh my God. Never, ever remind him that he
• 0:16
  has. That I don't see anything.
• 0:18
  I don't see anyone. Leave him alone.
• 0:20
  Do not approach or touch. Was that the sound you heard
• 0:23
  earlier? Are we locking alone?
• 0:25
  Began. I mean, I already locked and
• 0:26
  loaded back up from the door. Something not making sense here?
• 0:28
  A jab. Nice to meet you.
• 0:31
  I'm actually going to go in the room that they.
• 0:32
  Left my apologies. What's it doing?
• 0:34
  We won't know now because yes, smashed it to bits.
• 0:37
  Jeb 9. We shouldn't split the party.
• 0:40
  Get from one place to the other without touching the ground.
• 0:43
  Oh no. Jeb, careful.
• 0:46
  My jet pack. My jet pack.
• 1:00
  It's OK, I'll lower the ladder down on the other side or get.
• 1:04
  Out. You get over there and we'll
• 1:05
  figure. It out so you're.
• 1:06
  Just going to wing. It Yeah.
• 1:10
  We could just stack a bunch of these little cubes.
• 1:14
  No, the cubes are radioactive. Retro.
• 1:17
  Yeah, but we got the, we got the P bucket, so.
• 1:20
  No, they're even radioactive when you step on them.
• 1:22
  The radiation is far too costing.
• 1:26
  You keep using that word. I think you know what it means
• 1:30
  A. Perfectly comulent word, Jeb.
• 1:33
  The cubes themselves are caustic and give off additional
• 1:36
  radiation. They seem to be spent waste.
• 1:39
  Right, already past their half life.
• 1:42
  Got it. OK.
• 1:44
  So, Jeb, are you going to, I guess, scoot on over?
• 1:54
  I just, I just saw Cheb look up Caustic.
• 1:56
  I think he kind of agrees with the use of the word.
• 1:59
  I saw like a word. It was a AH that there is no
• 2:07
  more definitive. There's not a more narrow
• 2:11
  definition. It is just exactly what you
• 2:13
  think caustic means, yes. It is exactly yes.
• 2:17
  It's really funny watching you look that up.
• 2:19
  It's very good. Well, I mean, I, I, I'm, I'm
• 2:23
  going to fly through there. I mean, this seems like it's a
• 2:25
  perfect opportunity for me to test this thing out.
• 2:28
  So I'll just zip back. Didn't we say not to split the
• 2:30
  party? Well, yeah, I'll, I'll just zip
• 2:33
  on through over the, over the big caustic pool of, of, of
• 2:37
  caustic and then I'll and I'll get to the other side and then
• 2:40
  I'll figure it out from there. Right.
• 2:44
  Does does that sound good to y'all?
• 2:49
  I don't make decisions. Neither do I.
• 2:52
  This is why I was kind of like, you know, pitching it to the
• 2:54
  group. I can't think of a better plan.
• 3:00
  TVHI can't honestly think of one either.
• 3:03
  Yeah. Well, then I guess Yankee Doodle
• 3:08
  Dandy. Let's get this thing going.
• 3:11
  I can't move. Oh, wait, wait.
• 3:14
  Here we go. Your your GT got Yeah, yeah,
• 3:18
  there you go. Phoebe prep the prep the first
• 3:21
  Take care. Oh hell yeah dude, that's the
• 3:23
  best flying I've ever done. I do.
• 3:25
  I do a backflip and a barrel roll and it looks sick.
• 3:29
  So what? What do we think the distance of
• 3:32
  the jet pack is in terms of every six seconds?
• 3:38
  I would say we had said, I'm pretty sure you go back and
• 3:41
  listen to the recordings, I'm pretty sure. 10 minutes of
• 3:43
  flight. Yeah, 10 minutes of flying.
• 3:45
  So yeah, I feel like it's got to be going relatively fast.
• 3:50
  No, no, it's 10 minutes of flight.
• 3:51
  We did not define speed. Right.
• 3:54
  But my point is you said distance and if we can, if we
• 3:56
  have time and we have speed, then we have distance math, we
• 4:02
  have 10 minutes and I feel like it's got to be pretty quick,
• 4:07
  faster than walking obviously. So that's got to be more than
• 4:12
  let's see, that's normally D&D rules.
• 4:15
  I I guess I don't know for sure if if it has it written out in
• 4:18
  the rules how long a round is, but if we take.
• 4:21
  The six seconds. OK, so 6 seconds, 30 feet over 6
• 4:25
  seconds is like walking speed, 60 feet over 6 seconds is
• 4:31
  running speed. So if anything, probably a
• 4:34
  little faster than that. So more than like 10 feet per
• 4:37
  SEC or? No, Yeah, 10 feet per second.
• 4:41
  That's pretty fast. That's pretty fast.
• 4:43
  Yeah. All right.
• 4:44
  OK. That sounds good to me for a
• 4:45
  second. Cool take.
• 4:47
  That one minute is 6. Yeah, but.
• 4:54
  You're assuming that you did not get interrupted halfway through
• 4:57
  this flight. There are some obstacles.
• 5:00
  There are some obstacles. I rolled pilot air vehicle and I
• 5:03
  did really good. Yes, we did, Jeff.
• 5:07
  I did a barrel roll whenever. I did, but I rolled really good.
• 5:12
  I know, but you are flying above a very large pool of caustic
• 5:20
  radiation. I can't.
• 5:21
  Stop saying and I'm over that one in Boston.
• 5:24
  Same word of the day. You fly 60 feet.
• 5:29
  You're literally halfway across this pool of green.
• 5:35
  Yeah. And as you get to this point,
• 5:39
  you know, you're you're flying around, you're doing cool crit
• 5:41
  success stuff. And as you spin in the air, I'm
• 5:45
  assuming because you're Jeb, I just.
• 5:47
  I did say earlier, do a barrel. You see on the ground a robot
• 5:51
  between 3 barrels to your N Oh. There's a robot.
• 5:55
  We keep on by it. And it fires a dart at you, so
• 6:00
  you have to dodge midair. Now I was going to give you a
• 6:04
  penalty. Now you don't have that penalty
• 6:07
  because you roll the crib 23. Hopefully that was close.
• 6:14
  We don't know if it hit. Yeah, Jeb.
• 6:18
  Yeah, I wrote so good. Yes, Jeb, you did.
• 6:25
  But let's see if I roll good. No.
• 6:31
  No. And this, this dart crackles
• 6:36
  with electricity as it whizzes past your head.
• 6:40
  Your hat does a little wobble. You don't lose it.
• 6:44
  That's that's good. Then you continue your flight to
• 6:48
  the other side. Do you land?
• 6:51
  I mean, I imagine no, Why would I unless I can save half of
• 6:56
  this? I mean, I mean I wouldn't land
• 6:59
  unless I know that if I turn off my jet pack, I still got
• 7:03
  presumably 9 minutes and 30 seconds left.
• 7:08
  Well, the manoeuvre cost a little bit more than that, but
• 7:10
  I'd say you've got about 7 minutes left, yeah.
• 7:13
  OK, OK. Well then, yeah, land.
• 7:16
  You land Jebro perception. Oh God, oh God.
• 7:21
  You went T bird. Yes, hey, where's that?
• 7:24
  Are you here the clocking of a gun?
• 7:30
  Not like not not not this which I see.
• 7:34
  No, there's a robot on the ground.
• 7:37
  That's a different thing, you hear?
• 7:41
  Cock. Like the like, literally the
• 7:44
  cocking of like. You hear the distinctive locking
• 7:48
  mechanism of a sniper rifle. As you look upon your chest.
• 7:54
  You see that there's a red dot on your chest, and then you hear
• 8:02
  this bullet go off. And adapt to the side.
• 8:08
  Dodge is 16 OK? Oh shit.
• 8:12
  I always go to body because it feels like it.
• 8:15
  It feels like invasion should be in body but it's not.
• 8:17
  It's in fighting. It isn't fighting.
• 8:19
  Every time. 19, you dodge. OK, which way do you want to
• 8:25
  dodge? You are standing on the ground.
• 8:26
  In order to dodge, you have to move.
• 8:28
  You go that way. Cool.
• 8:30
  All right. Oh, so I'm diving away from the
• 8:33
  robot is key. Although do I know?
• 8:36
  I mean, I suppose I did just. If you can see it, you can see
• 8:38
  it. No, but I just dodged out of the
• 8:40
  wave of bullets so I know where that bullet is coming from.
• 8:43
  So yeah, somewhere to the north area.
• 8:46
  OK, OK. So like around here ish.
• 8:49
  More like here ish. Yeah.
• 8:50
  Well, maybe here or maybe here, OK.
• 8:53
  OK, OK, OK. Did you guys hear that it?
• 8:57
  Was a fucking fucking gunshot. I hope you heard it.
• 9:01
  You're only 60 feet away, give or take.
• 9:07
  Oh shit I didn't turn comms on. Was was jib saying something I
• 9:10
  couldn't. I could only hear it like
• 9:12
  echoing. I'm going to make a break for
• 9:14
  this door here on the on the opposite side of this kind of
• 9:20
  main area to try to get into somewhere that because I there's
• 9:23
  no nowhere for me to hide unless I can dive behind this rock.
• 9:28
  You could. Try, but the bullets were coming
• 9:30
  from north of that rock so that might put you in more danger.
• 9:32
  Oh shit. Because it looks like it sounds
• 9:36
  like that. It looked like that boat was
• 9:38
  coming from the north and there's a bit of a pile of
• 9:41
  rubble there in the middle. But if I hide behind that, it
• 9:44
  looks like there's not enough cover.
• 9:45
  I better make a break for that door on the opposite side of the
• 9:48
  room. And he does just that.
• 9:51
  All right. WWJD look at.
• 9:55
  That look at that 50 feet away. Dodger 13, it's not very high.
• 9:59
  Oh shit, yay evasion. All right, I'll give you plus
• 10:03
  one to opening this locked door. Great.
• 10:08
  You hear, you hear the robots that you saw earlier spot you
• 10:12
  because you are in the open, and you hear it starts to engage its
• 10:17
  shooting mechanism. Roll oh, 12.
• 10:23
  It's not enough to open that door.
• 10:25
  That means that. And I take out my shotgun and I
• 10:28
  blanch all on the door. You still have to dodge this.
• 10:32
  No problem. No problem.
• 10:34
  Dodger 14. A bad role O31.
• 10:38
  Evasion. Beautiful.
• 10:40
  Is that 3? Is that 3 crit evasions in a
• 10:44
  row? Yes, we've we've already
• 10:45
  established this. Jeb now always rolls grits.
• 10:49
  He has hacked roll 20 or paid them off.
• 10:52
  Yeah, Jeb, Well, not your pick lock because that was a terrible
• 10:56
  12, but roll to to to blow the door open, please.
• 11:00
  Yeah, no. Problem. 17 Yep, that's enough.
• 11:05
  The door lock bursts open. It's high enough that you just
• 11:10
  managed to get that done, but now the door will not lock.
• 11:15
  It will close, but it will not lock.
• 11:18
  Breaching clear and and I shoulder myself into the, you
• 11:22
  know, through the doorway and into the whatever this room is
• 11:25
  here this small. Cool.
• 11:27
  There, But hold on, I'm on it. I'm just realizing is there a
• 11:30
  little Moat? Is there a Moat over a a river
• 11:35
  of caustic? Yes, Oh my God.
• 11:42
  Well, I I bust, I shoulder my way in, bust out the door, you
• 11:46
  know, donkey, kick it behind me to close it and take a look
• 11:49
  around. This this this building.
• 11:53
  So Vivi, I wanna watch anything on the tube lately.
• 12:02
  Jeb's gone. Jeb's gone, yeah.
• 12:08
  He's been. No, I mean like I do you see
• 12:11
  him? No.
• 12:17
  Yeah, well they, they flew off well past the cost costy zone
• 12:26
  and they they're out of sight. I mean I've I think I've heard
• 12:32
  like 2 gunshots so far but he hasn't radioed in yet so he must
• 12:37
  be fine. He was still talking, so that's
• 12:39
  a good sign. You guys, I know you can't
• 12:43
  exactly come over here without stepping through the caustic,
• 12:46
  but I'm going to need some help. Well, I could try to help him.
• 12:52
  I have my hoverboard. Like please be so very careful.
• 12:59
  Yes, please. Yes, please.
• 13:00
  Hoverboard, please. There's someone with a snap over
• 13:02
  here. Just be careful when we get to
• 13:03
  the other side, just be landing for that little building.
• 13:06
  That's where I am. OK, well, he he's way out there
• 13:09
  all right. I'm good.
• 13:11
  I'm going to try my best and. That's all we're going to ask of
• 13:14
  you. So thank you.
• 13:16
  We, we, I appreciate you. You rolled.
• 13:21
  What was it? This is technically a land
• 13:24
  vehicle. Drive land vehicle.
• 13:27
  This is technically a land vehicle.
• 13:28
  It is not a flight vehicle. Tell me about the hoverboard.
• 13:31
  Do you push? Does it have propulsion?
• 13:33
  I don't think it has propulsion. You push, right?
• 13:35
  That's a good question, It's been a while since I've used
• 13:39
  this bad boy. The Jetboy is a land vehicle
• 13:44
  with 10 SDPHP. Only one set that hovers, only
• 13:47
  one seat that hovers just above the ground.
• 13:49
  It can always be driven with no hands, as if the user had
• 13:52
  connected interface plugs. You make maneuvers on the jet
• 13:55
  boy using athletic skill. Basic movement does not require
• 13:58
  a minimum skill base. It provides 15 move and combat
• 14:02
  has a narrative speed of 30 mph. Holy shit.
• 14:04
  There you go. Cool.
• 14:06
  So you can go 15. It's got, it's got like rules
• 14:10
  and stuff. It's like they did, they did
• 14:11
  stuff. That's great.
• 14:13
  Yeah. So you can move 15. 30 mph,
• 14:20
  That's pretty. I guess you can.
• 14:23
  What? Is that you can.
• 14:25
  You can move really far. No, no, but it it also has
• 14:27
  defined it in the rules. Jeff Oh, we.
• 14:29
  Just saw that. Which is 15 squares per round,
• 14:32
  yeah. OK.
• 14:34
  So essentially 1/4 speed of the jetpack, coincidentally.
• 14:40
  Checks out. Yeah.
• 14:44
  Now, as you get to this point, you there's a little sort of
• 14:48
  rock in the way and some girders above you and you're just at the
• 14:52
  point where you can see the robot between these three
• 14:55
  barrels on the ground. Yes, I mean, wait a minute.
• 15:08
  Oh, Jeb, please deduct got that radiation.
• 15:13
  You went outside the bubble I. Did I did.
• 15:17
  Oh. Shit, yeah.
• 15:19
  Oh, that's yeah. OK, fair enough.
• 15:22
  Jeb, your outfit, the suit that you're wearing, do you have the
• 15:29
  card? No.
• 15:34
  OK, so to remind everybody, you have -1 to move, you have -1
• 15:40
  protection perception while wearing one, and you have -4 to
• 15:43
  wardrobe in style while you're wearing it.
• 15:49
  The suit seems to have 25 health.
• 15:53
  And Jeb, your suit has lost eight HP by being outside.
• 15:58
  PS Suit it starts at 25 set. Yes, starts 25 -, 8 so rolled
• 16:04
  high. Sorry.
• 16:05
  OK, Phoebe, yes. Yes.
• 16:08
  You're hovering above a large radiation source while being
• 16:13
  exposed to said radiation. Yes.
• 16:15
  You. Hear it Attack the suit and I
• 16:20
  rolled A4. So for this round you you feel
• 16:24
  it start to be eaten away. Now you you are at a point of
• 16:29
  return. You could choose to go back to
• 16:32
  the bubble and rethink this, or continue on.
• 16:35
  Rethink your your your thoughts and decisions.
• 16:38
  I'm not. I'm not.
• 16:40
  You're you're going for Jeb, but also you are outside the bubble.
• 16:45
  This. Lonely and the caustic sign this
• 16:47
  is. Extremely dangerous, but.
• 16:51
  Sure as hell is. Jeff needs help, so I'm going to
• 16:55
  keep going. All right, I'm a hero.
• 16:58
  You got this, baby. So I would just go another 15
• 17:05
  just at the cusp of this. Large gutter above you, Yeah.
• 17:10
  Yes, I. Can hear the Bonnie Tyler just
• 17:13
  starting up. You can roll athletics as well
• 17:20
  to drive this Route 16. Yes, that is enough.
• 17:30
  You'll make your way to a pretty stable location.
• 17:33
  You've still got like the wall to kick off, it's just within
• 17:37
  reach. You can use your bat to push
• 17:38
  yourself if you wanted a little extra boost, or you can just use
• 17:42
  the actual propulsion of the thing.
• 17:44
  But you are in range of the junk robot which has spotted you.
• 17:48
  Oh geez, it aims at your hoverboard.
• 17:54
  God 16. Your hoverboard is hit for six
• 18:04
  damage. The problem is is that this is
• 18:10
  an EMP dart, so half of it shuts down and starts to scrape across
• 18:14
  the ground. Oh.
• 18:16
  No, the caustic. You're going to have to surf
• 18:19
  Vivi, OH. Surf across this shit.

  Your journey begins here at Maggie RPG.
• 19:50
  There's a rock, there's a close to the robot you could take
• 19:53
  refuge on. Hang 10 bro.
• 19:58
  Over here. Yeah.
• 19:59
  I'm going to go to the rock. Good luck.
• 20:03
  You are closer to the robot. Do you want to try and attack
• 20:05
  it? Yeah.
• 20:06
  I'm going to try to, I'm going to try to shoot it all right,
• 20:10
  unless I'm close enough for my baseball bat, which I don't
• 20:12
  think if can I. It's a very difficult shot
• 20:17
  because it's actually between the barrels.
• 20:19
  I would like to try to move a little closer and smash it with
• 20:23
  my bat. You can jump on the rock.
• 20:25
  Yeah, yeah. Yeah.
• 20:26
  OK. All right, let's try.
• 20:31
  Your baseball bat with a crit fail gets stuck in one of these
• 20:35
  barrels and it cracks open, causing a fluid to cascade
• 20:39
  across the ground. You hear it sizzle.
• 20:43
  Your suit takes 5 damage. The robot moves and attacks you
• 20:48
  poisonally. Poisonally.
• 20:51
  Guys are not looking good. It also crit fails stepping into
• 20:57
  the fluid. I rolled A crit fail.
• 20:59
  You're lucky BB, as one of its armor plates melts into a
• 21:04
  slightly gelatinous substance and starts to sizzle.
• 21:07
  This stuff is acidic. Oh shit, it's the dip.
• 21:11
  I try. I try.
• 21:13
  To hit again. Hey, you smack it for crit
• 21:17
  damage? Hell yeah, causing, oh, that's
• 21:21
  so much damage. Jesus.
• 21:23
  It goes under half health, it loses the ability to move
• 21:27
  because you've broken three of its legs and it's now
• 21:30
  struggling, but it is turning to try and hit you.
• 21:33
  With that success, you can try and hit it once more, yes.
• 21:36
  Let's try again. OK, 17 yes that is also enough.
• 21:42
  It gets hit for 10 damage. It is struggling to stay alive
• 21:48
  but still has a little bit of movement.
• 21:51
  It's pretty close to you. It tries to bite your foot.
• 21:56
  Dodger 16. Oh.
• 21:58
  Boy OK it. It feels like this thing is
• 22:03
  sinking into the caustic like. Yeah, it's trying to bite like.
• 22:09
  You know. Yeah, it wouldn't be good if you
• 22:11
  were bitten because the fluid's there.
• 22:13
  It might break the seal of the suit.
• 22:15
  Evasion 18. That is enough.
• 22:19
  It misses entirely. And you're lucky because it
• 22:21
  would have been a critical injury.
• 22:22
  It has very little health left. What you going to do, Phoebe?
• 22:26
  11 last slam with the bat home run.
• 22:32
  I want to try to knock it into the wall.
• 22:34
  Hell yeah 12 It can't evade now because it doesn't have legs and
• 22:41
  mostly it has melted. You smack it against the wall
• 22:45
  and it bursts into pieces. Roll evasion to A to avoid
• 22:48
  splashes. Oh, shut.
• 22:53
  Let's see. Evasion 14.
• 22:55
  Yes, that is enough. You are on a rock.
• 22:57
  You are stable. You're also mildly trapped.
• 23:00
  The radiation around you starts to sizzle on your suit after the
• 23:04
  silence that follows the battle. You can hear it.
• 23:07
  Oh, that's only A1 and you lose 1 to your suit.
• 23:11
  OK. Phoebe, are you OK?
• 23:15
  I'm. I'm holding.
• 23:17
  I'm holding on. I I took care of this robot that
• 23:19
  was shooting at Jeb. It's gone.
• 23:23
  But your shoot's all right, right?
• 23:24
  It's it's it's it's. It's barely hanging on, just
• 23:30
  like my hoverboard. I'm in trouble, but I'm going to
• 23:36
  try to keep going. Phoebe, do you need help?
• 23:42
  Perhaps it's time for us to help everyone, which is sort of
• 23:46
  standing here in this safely bubble.
• 23:50
  I didn't realize we were going to tap this one by one.
• 23:55
  Well, what's your idea to get across?
• 23:57
  From now split up the party or against Stalin pairs the body
• 24:01
  system I think you said and then Jeb went off on his own is.
• 24:05
  This. Normal.
• 24:06
  I remember Sano complaining about this but Jeb would do this
• 24:09
  all the time. Sorry, I'm over talking.
• 24:14
  No, it's OK. You know, in in this time of,
• 24:17
  of, of being, you know, stuck in in a little warehouse looking
• 24:22
  thing and a snapper outside and, and my my savior.
• 24:25
  Thank you, baby. Possibly Diane, a little bit of,
• 24:29
  of friendly banter. It's kind of nice, kind of gets
• 24:31
  your mind out of it. I mean, if, if, if you're
• 24:35
  willing to take a chance, Phoebe, you can always give the
• 24:38
  board a little, a little funds and maybe that'll, you know,
• 24:43
  kick a circuit back up. I I smack the board.
• 24:50
  All right, what's your luck right now, Tracy?
• 24:53
  I I. Have a decent amount of luck 6.
• 24:59
  OK, if you can roll under your luck on AD 10 it boots back up.
• 25:08
  Deal. I can roll under my luck.
• 25:10
  All right, I'll take that deal. Poop.
• 25:17
  That is, that is not. That's an 8.
• 25:19
  That's a good role, well done, but also too much and your
• 25:23
  hoverboard remains inert. I'm.
• 25:27
  Going to die out here guy. I'm stranded.
• 25:31
  Oh, OK. I'll roll the number one your
• 25:35
  your suit sizzles a little bit more and you lose a bit more of
• 25:39
  excess P. You know, he Yanks the, the the
• 25:45
  I imagine for whatever reason, I just now thought that you start
• 25:48
  the the jet pack like a lawn mower.
• 25:51
  Yes. You absolutely do.
• 25:54
  And he jets passed out the door through, you know, past a pillar
• 26:00
  of past the the robot that was waiting and hiding and and
• 26:05
  rushes past. Dodger 12.
• 26:08
  Was that? Dodger 12 As you fly across,
• 26:11
  there's another sniper bullet of Asian 22.
• 26:15
  Yes, you managed to do that. Do you have you rolled to fly
• 26:18
  your jet pack? No, not yet.
• 26:20
  Let's see if that goes well. Yes, that goes well.
• 26:25
  To get there in time at the speed you are doing, you are
• 26:29
  going to burn 4 minutes of fuel. Well the VV needs it and so I go
• 26:35
  and I and I grab her and her hoverboard and fucking turn and
• 26:43
  burn are. You going to go back to the
• 26:45
  building? Yeah.
• 26:47
  OK cool, so you pick up VVVV. If you want to try and help this
• 26:51
  situation, you can roll to help. What would you like to throw in?
• 26:55
  Hold on tight, I'll. Roll in athletics to.
• 26:58
  Hell yeah. Roll 2.
• 27:00
  Hold on tight. Yeah, that's.
• 27:02
  Twelve. Yeah, that gives Jeb a + 1 to
• 27:04
  this return. Pilot air vehicle.
• 27:07
  Uh huh, 23 yes, that is enough. And of course, Jeb, see if you
• 27:13
  can dodge this. I'll be honest, just got kind of
• 27:16
  a shit shot so don't even worry about it baby.
• 27:19
  I think we got this one. Yeah.
• 27:23
  Oh. My God, what?
• 27:25
  I tell you. You managed to fly into the
• 27:28
  doorway with Vivi. Imagine.
• 27:31
  Like a superhero landing. Imagine like the classic 1950s
• 27:37
  pulp sci-fi book cover with a man dressed as a cowboy with a,
• 27:43
  with a nice cowboy hat and two Colt 40 fives on either hip
• 27:50
  wearing a jet pack and and a if this were a 1950s pulp sci-fi
• 27:56
  novel cover, it would have a scantily clad woman.
• 27:58
  But imagine she's regularly clad and her name is Bebe.
• 28:04
  And they're slowly getting lower.
• 28:05
  If they're slowly lowering to the ground Superman style or one
• 28:10
  one foot is like, you know, pointed down is everyone's kind
• 28:14
  of like bent slightly backwards and like just ever so slightly,
• 28:19
  ever so calmly lowers down softly onto the ground.
• 28:23
  And then like he, he presses a little kill switch on his on
• 28:28
  his. In, but I'm assuming with your
• 28:30
  crit that you're going inside the building so that you do not.
• 28:32
  Get shot. Yeah, absolutely.
• 28:34
  Inside the building the only the only difference being the spies.
• 28:39
  Yes, indeed, I. Mean that was pretty cool.
• 28:42
  Some real like Rocketeer vibes there.
• 28:46
  No, it it was a very amazing rescue mission, but now the
• 28:50
  issue is how do the rest of us get across?
• 28:54
  Well, I was looking here at the map before they took off and I
• 29:01
  think there's supposed to be a maybe event or a doorway to like
• 29:08
  North East from where we're at. So do we want to try to check
• 29:13
  that out? Yeah, we don't have any more
• 29:16
  flying apparatuses, so what's the harm in checking a door?
• 29:21
  We do have all of this climbing gear, ropes, etcetera.
• 29:26
  Do we see holes in the ceiling? There's lots of crags and things
• 29:31
  you could attach to you at the very mouth of this green glowing
• 29:38
  lake in front of you. There's one of those plates on
• 29:41
  the ground. They're heavy, but you could use
• 29:46
  it as a counterweight or they're movable.
• 29:49
  Excuse me, That's all the caustic.
• 29:52
  I get it. Caustic, I would like to ask 99
• 29:57
  yes. Would you be a pal always?
• 30:05
  Theme Scorch scorch scorch screen.
• 30:08
  Can you go check out the I they dislike how I actually somewhat
• 30:12
  kind of like that this vent to our northeast and see if maybe
• 30:19
  that comes out somewhere on the other side come.
• 30:22
  Come, go look. Where's the vent?
• 30:26
  Where it was over here. While they're doing that, I'd
• 30:30
  like to test something. Sure.
• 30:35
  Can I push this Arasaka metal that we've been talking about
• 30:42
  onto the caustic material and see if it reacts?
• 30:47
  Sure. Here we should all stay together
• 30:49
  in the bubble, so I'm bringing the P bucket to you.
• 30:53
  Oh, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you.
• 30:54
  I wasn't thinking of that. P bucket roll a very basic
• 31:01
  physical check to push it so that you don't fall over.
• 31:04
  OK. 80 athletics. You push it effortlessly and it
• 31:12
  doesn't make a very loud sizzle. It doesn't make a very loud
• 31:20
  sizzle. It's very, it's almost non
• 31:22
  reactive. Non reactive, not very.
• 31:27
  Do you want to test the metal? Do you want to see if you can
• 31:29
  work out what it is? Test.
• 31:31
  It's metal, if you know what I mean.
• 31:33
  Oh, absolutely I would. Sure.
• 31:37
  Roll something sciency. You learn nothing because you
• 31:46
  rolled A crit fail. Look, I, I didn't take chemistry
• 31:52
  in I didn't take chemistry in college, all right?
• 31:55
  Everyone said that was a dump class and like I took it but
• 32:00
  like I didn't really go. I, I, I actually have a really
• 32:03
  good education, so as I own it. Do you want us to check I?
• 32:06
  Mean yeah, sure. I I don't know how this chemical
• 32:09
  compound works. Unfortunately, because of that
• 32:12
  crit fail, you did mildly step out of the bubble while doing
• 32:15
  this and your suit takes a little damage. 3 Let's do not
• 32:21
  fun. What?
• 32:23
  The feet are getting more gummy. Well, I suppose I would.
• 32:29
  I suppose I might know more about it.
• 32:32
  Let me. It is corporate.
• 32:35
  It is corporate metal. It's corporate metal unless
• 32:39
  you've got a stamp on it. Look at me excuse.
• 32:43
  Me corporate metal coins. Money.
• 32:48
  I know everything about this piece of metal.
• 32:50
  Corporate metal is the name of my rocker band.
• 32:52
  You know everything about this piece of metal you do.
• 32:55
  Hold on. Listen to somebody please put
• 32:57
  down like some kind of corporate metal band in the comments
• 33:00
  somewhere below. Yes.
• 33:03
  Corporate Rock, OH. My friend some.
• 33:06
  Have to. Get those events.
• 33:08
  Oh, do you know what what this is?
• 33:11
  No, no. It's it's lead.
• 33:15
  Oh. Is that good?
• 33:17
  It's convenient for our purposes now.
• 33:21
  Yep, that helps. And it has its own issues too.
• 33:25
  But yeah, nobody lick it. Nope, just pretend you're
• 33:31
  getting an X-ray and put it on like a blanket.
• 33:35
  It's. Very heavy.
• 33:40
  We're not going to be able to wear the metal like a blanket.
• 33:42
  We might be able to hop, hop, frog, leapscotch across with the
• 33:51
  pieces if we drag them all this way.
• 33:53
  We would have to use conveyor belt method to get them across,
• 33:56
  but we could do it. Kind of lift, lift it up, lay it
• 34:02
  down, jump on it and then then like kind of move it algebra and
• 34:06
  then and then kind of just constantly moving it.
• 34:11
  Well, there's several of these around the area.
• 34:13
  I mean, we've, we've passed several.
• 34:15
  We might be able to find a collection and make a path all
• 34:19
  the way across. Next time on no latency.
• 34:35
  Can you balance it on your head and?
• 34:37
  Roll back. Don't know.
• 34:38
  What? All right, everyone stick
• 34:39
  together. Fair.
• 34:41
  This looks bad. You really got.
• 34:43
  Go, go. Now.
• 34:44
  Now door. Door.
• 34:45
  Really got shot an. Extreme sizzle.
• 34:48
  Domino, you use your Talon clause to help.
• 34:51
  Oh, if we're attached to a a rope, perhaps.
• 34:54
  Traverse across the rocky walls and help pull them.
• 34:58
  Along it could be anything. No, no.
• 35:01
  We know there's a sniper over here.
• 35:03
  Fly through the air and then launch it again to try to get
• 35:06
  over. That's rough, bud.
• 35:07
  It's. A big it's a big bullet.
• 35:09
  What a champ, this guy, am I right?
• 35:12
  To recover the bullet. OK, first we have to stop this
• 35:14
  bleeding. Oh.
• 35:14
  I had Vendale Row brawling to kick the door and.
• 35:17
  Everyone's here and you brought the pee bucket.
• 35:19
  Oh, thank God. Take.
• 35:20
  Cover. That seems unreasonable, GM.
• 35:23
  Yeah, it's crazy. Boy shield to protect myself.
• 35:26
  A domino. Oh man, so that was pretty
• 35:29
  crazy, huh? Got to look out for those things
• 35:32
  everywhere you go apparently. Yeah, but we only have one of
• 35:57
  those values, dude. We just have time.
• 35:59
  But I was just getting into how fast it was going to be.
• 36:02
  Oh, I see all right. We should just name this episode
• 36:09
  Caustic, Caustic, Caustic. I agreed.
• 36:13
  Noted. Write it down, Paris.
• 36:16
  That's a good point. I don't know that to myself.
• 36:19
  No, no. That was fun.
• 36:22
  Anyway. Well, that's I, I, I hope that
• 36:27
  Jeb has enough tactical brain to think, if I dive behind this, am
• 36:35
  I going to be safe from the thing shooting me?
• 36:37
  Right. So are you going to go for the
• 36:39
  door or these rocks that are about waist high?
• 36:42
  So Jeb does not have enough brain to know if he would be
• 36:47
  safe diving behind these rocks. I am inferring to you that they
• 36:52
  are not as much cover as the inside of a building.
• 36:56
  OK, OK, great. That's that is what Jeb would
• 36:59
  factor in his mind in the well. Then let's get Jeb's in a
• 37:02
  monologue. OK.
