Latest / No Latency / S2E102 - Another Vending Machine
Transcript
- 0:02Last time on no latency. We'll see the lightning before
- 0:05you hear the Thunder. Don't have to put you back
- 0:07together as well. Understand it?
- 0:08Goddamn thing. Jeb, don't touch anything.
- 0:11Seems my companions are. Shit 3 miles away getting.
- 0:14Close. How are we getting down?
- 0:15Slowly putting everything together.
- 0:17And these are a lot of stairs. My plan just as bad.
- 0:20On their end to make sure that this.
- 0:22It's time to blast this shit open.
- 0:23Come on. Now, one at a time.
- 0:24To kick a door open and have any hidden enemy.
- 0:26Entire process goes as. Smoothly as possible.
- 0:29Let's go. You got to move.
- 0:30Got powerful legs? Why don't you do it?
- 0:33Yeah, we made it. We made it.
- 0:33We're here now. Everybody gather round.
- 0:35Oh, don't take me. Ascend.
- 0:37Baby's hair is starting to get really frizzy.
- 0:39No, no. Perfectly calculated.
- 0:42It was all supposed to go so. Well.
- 0:44Smells like ribs. Now's the time.
- 0:45It's alive, it's alive. It seems Domino has been getting
- 1:08much more acquainted with their new form.
- 1:15That's good to see. I also love the fact that he's
- 1:18got a duster. Big fan of that he's got.
- 1:21I mean, I guess we kind of created his whole physical
- 1:27persona, but great, great styling.
- 1:32That's all I'm saying. When do we think Domino will be
- 1:38up and well running? I suppose.
- 1:43Well it seems that they are probably at like 80% right now,
- 1:57so maybe a bit more time to adjust to the body and the many
- 2:04limbs and special. Features up and walking around.
- 2:11Yes, walking around, eating, push.
- 2:16UPS. Getting UPS.
- 2:19Not quite at the level of regular physical activity, but
- 2:23they certainly have quite a few augments that can help with
- 2:27that. So.
- 2:30You hear footsteps downstairs at a crash.
- 2:34Oh shit. Oh, that we that maybe let's
- 2:40let's go. Check heavy footsteps upstairs.
- 2:43Does anybody know that we created this abomination to
- 2:47science and. Abomination.
- 2:50Well, you know, it's just kind of like we created life, you
- 2:52know? And the the downstairs door
- 2:56bursts open and they're standing in the doorway.
- 2:59There's a tall. Figure 6 foot four bright green
- 3:05eyes, kind of a crooked smile. The human that you filled Domino
- 3:12with obviously had his jaw broken at some .4 arms, 2 tucked
- 3:17behind him like wings, 2 cyber legs, and a serious amount of
- 3:22Borgware. Everywhere else he's wearing
- 3:23that duster that Jeb was talking about earlier, and he looks at
- 3:28you all and smiles at. Friends.
- 3:34It's like the the Squidward meme.
- 3:37Oh no, he's hot. Those three minds are.
- 3:44With this Squidward. What's your temperature reading?
- 3:54Last I checked, all of Domino's vitals were were normal. 97.6.
- 4:0398 but a little a little warmer than usual, but that's still
- 4:08average. Still hot?
- 4:12Oh my gosh. This is serious.
- 4:20This is our. This is our creation.
- 4:26I'm I'm totally taking a serious look.
- 4:28See, this is my serious face seeing it.
- 4:32Oh yeah, I'm seeing it. The flat, the flat line mouth
- 4:37reading across your screen. Well, I don't think that we can
- 4:42take credit completely for Domino.
- 4:45I mean, we got the pieces, but Domino existed before us.
- 4:50This is true. Why can't you take credit not?
- 4:56Full credit. Not full credit.
- 4:58I mean yes we gathered the pieces, but you are your own
- 5:02entity. We just created something for
- 5:04you to inhabit. But I do take credit for that
- 5:10duster. And Vivi, you did a wonderful
- 5:13job with the body. Thank you very.
- 5:17Good. But I just have to say, you
- 5:19didn't create life. That's it.
- 5:22I will add. Iona and you see dominoes squirt
- 5:28out a fluid from one of their fingers.
- 5:32I understand why you do this. Everything is smelly.
- 5:40It is. It really is.
- 5:44It's smelly and dirty and you do have to be on the lookout for
- 5:50germs. As you know, you do have an
- 5:55immune system still. I mean, even though you're
- 5:59borged out and you can get sick like the rest of us.
- 6:04So just be aware of that. What?
- 6:09Who's getting sick? I'm, I'm just saying Domino,
- 6:14just like the rest of us, has the likelihood to get to fall.
- 6:17I'll. Oh, right.
- 6:21Well, that's. Not why you smoke cigarettes.
- 6:27No, no, that, that's just something you do when life just
- 6:35kind of hits you and you'll maybe you may or may not feel
- 6:38this way, you know, and you just need something to just take that
- 6:41edge off of life. I don't know if you feel that as
- 6:44an AI. Phoebe, I'm be honest, it it
- 6:47looks like life just hit you with a bus.
- 6:49Hey, you want to try this cigarette?
- 6:50That is a marijuana, is it not? Don't.
- 6:55It it is a marijuana. Absolutely.
- 6:57It's a marijuana. Don't get him started.
- 7:00She's. Yep, it's a marijuana.
- 7:03That is a marijuana. But what I was going to say to
- 7:05Phoebe, I think life did hit me because I'm standing in a
- 7:11doorway where before I would be on this screen above me.
- 7:16Yes. How, how are you feeling,
- 7:20Domino? How, how does this all make you
- 7:22feel? I'm I'm sure it's very
- 7:24existential. Everyone talks about all of the
- 7:27experiences that you will experience here in the skin
- 7:31space, but there's one thing none of you talked about, which
- 7:37is the most interesting of all. What would that be?
- 7:44I got 3 guesses. Oh, I know.
- 7:46Is it the? Is it?
- 7:47You'd like to guess is this also a game?
- 7:49Is it the sense of touch? Is it love?
- 7:53Is it controlling your skeleton? It's taste.
- 7:58It's gotta be one of them. Is it doing backflips?
- 8:01Bendel does a backflip. Tada.
- 8:03Oh, oh, don't surprise me like that.
- 8:05That was so. Sorry, I got excited.
- 8:08Is it the sensation that you actually have a physical body
- 8:12and so you can feel like even the slightest wind current on
- 8:17your skin, thus causing goosebumps, and it is a new
- 8:20sensation to you since you've never had a physical form in
- 8:23that particular way? Yeah, so I was saying it's got
- 8:25to be one of them 5 senses. I think what about what?
- 8:29About feelings, emotions. I understand, at least abstract,
- 8:34the idea of love and kindness, hate and revenge.
- 8:37I know what it. Is that's good?
- 8:39I know what it is. It's that feeling.
- 8:40To you Roman start to fall over. Oh, go ahead.
- 8:46Jeb, your romance novel. What were you saying, Jeb?
- 8:50I was saying it's that, it's that feeling you get when you're
- 8:52like starting to fall over and you're like, Oh my God, I'm
- 8:55falling, you know? Fair to go you.
- 8:57Know everyone, I think we're all going to be really surprised.
- 9:02The chair is the closest. Oh yeah, did you hear that
- 9:05everyone like answer something? Gravity.
- 9:08Gravity. Is a bizarre thing.
- 9:12I'm not used to feeling everything downwards.
- 9:18Well, how did it feel before like that?
- 9:20It was not a concept as data does not need to go downwards.
- 9:27It goes like water, half of least resistance.
- 9:33Next, we've got to take you to space like we've been, where
- 9:35there's zero gravity. That might be a little too too
- 9:40much to start. Yeah, I I started to do that
- 9:43abyss. I don't know if I want to go
- 9:45back to that. I've seen the planet from
- 9:49satellites and imagery, is it different?
- 9:54It's different in person. Yeah, it's majestic.
- 9:58I would say the biggest difference is kind of the, the,
- 10:02the philosophical feeling you get, you know, like, wow, I'm so
- 10:06small, you know, that's so far away.
- 10:07Look, everything that's ever happened in human history all
- 10:09took place and that little blue dot over there.
- 10:10So I'm not sure that's really going to resonate with you.
- 10:13A A machine, No offense. I understand.
- 10:17Look, look, Domino, I've, I've seen a lot of BDS in my time.
- 10:22And I know that they can be very realistic.
- 10:25Yeah. And you can experience a lot of
- 10:27things, but I think you'll come to learn that nothing is as good
- 10:36as the real thing. Everything you experience from
- 10:41here forward, it's it's real. It's, it's, it's you're right.
- 10:47It's in the meat space. It's, it's actual human
- 10:53connection. Actual visual sights, it's not
- 10:56something that's been generated on a computer and so it's it's
- 11:01pretty neat. And I think it's time I stepped
- 11:05out into the real world. And may I just look like some
- 11:10tune correct? Yeah, let's just take a quick
- 11:16look at you again. I'm going to do one more health
- 11:19scan and psychological a psychoanalysis to make sure
- 11:26you're good, especially with that new sand devaston that we
- 11:30put in you. I just want to make sure you're
- 11:33all good before we take you out. Oh.
- 11:36I gotta see this. Into the world.
- 11:39So. Yeah, one SEC Yeah, 1.
- 11:47SEC. Medical check 15 yes you scan
- 11:55domino. Scanning surgery recovery
- 12:00promising Healing at an increased rate.
- 12:04Source of healing unknown. Calculating compound.
- 12:07That's probably body fuel bike. Compound.
- 12:10Compound and unknown. See, I'll load the compound into
- 12:13your computer so you can detect it.
- 12:16That's a receipt scanning continuing extreme neural
- 12:19activity detected synthetic brain detected synthetic brain
- 12:23stable neural pathway transmission exceeds the
- 12:26capabilities of this device for psychiatric examination
- 12:30observation is recommended scan. So just recovery prognosis is?
- 12:36Good, but outwardly they seem fine and he's leaning into your
- 12:41scanner and looking at the screen.
- 12:42This. Is a question OK?
- 12:47Yeah, actually you, you look fine.
- 12:51All of your the check. I don't see any major flags or
- 12:57issues. Right, well, I think I know what
- 13:01my first step into the outside world should be.
- 13:05And that is, what would that be? Vivi.
- 13:09You're going into Vivi? No Jeb phrasing, right?
- 13:16Jeb, this isn't Domino's trying to do like a an important moment
- 13:20in their life I'm. Sorry, I, I I.
- 13:22I got excited. I'm sorry.
- 13:24Jeb, they just experienced gravity for the first time.
- 13:27Now experience the gravity of this situation.
- 13:30Oh no. That, well, I like that.
- 13:31It's good. Oh fuck. 9 comes crashing
- 13:36through the door. Basketball.
- 13:41For whom? Now that I'm in skin space, I
- 13:43very much understand how some of you feel about this bull.
- 13:50Yeah, and he. Spins around and Domino catches
- 13:599 and pulls him one handed to his face. 9 As I said to you
- 14:07downstairs, you did stop. And he throws 9 behind him and
- 14:12watch on think I think I'll think.
- 14:18Wow, karma comes back eventually, doesn't it?
- 14:21Anyway, as I was saying, baby. Yes, Domino should.
- 14:28We go for a cigarette. Yes, you know what I just said
- 14:34that I wouldn't want to give him marijuana, but you know, which
- 14:39arguably is probably healthier than a cigarette.
- 14:44Yeah, let's, let's do that, Domino.
- 14:46Let's experience some real human things.
- 14:50Yeah, that's all right. That feels totally human.
- 14:55First thing you do once you get a new body, go out and wreck it.
- 15:00Just taking a leaf out of your book, Retro.
- 15:04What's a leaf from the marijuana leaf or the tobacco leaf or the
- 15:08cocaine leaf? You you treat your body badly.
- 15:12He says that you're coming up the stairs.
- 15:14I still do my push ups and sit ups and drink plenty of juice.
- 15:20Got. One of those old juicing
- 15:23machines back home. Domino walks outside of Crystals
- 15:26by Joy as Joy kind of looks at you all, which is this really
- 15:30big dude walk through the shop. Yes, yes it is.
- 15:43They still don't exist, right? Well.
- 15:46Like if anyone asks, they don't. Oh, they're not real.
- 15:48OK, OK. And she just goes back to like
- 15:51polishing gems and dusting and stuff.
- 15:54She's, she's very cottage core. It's very, very like, cute.
- 15:57Here though. Do you follow Domino?
- 16:00Outside, yes, and. I guess we're going to have to,
- 16:04oh, hey, is that a Geode? I'm just going to run over to
- 16:06Geode and look at it. It is.
- 16:09It is a geode and it's very pretty.
- 16:14Retro since when you've been since you since when you've been
- 16:18into rocks. I've been to rocks since my
- 16:24daddy could play a six string 6 string guitar.
- 16:28Oh everyone, please give yourself health.
- 16:30It's been weeks, so you'll fully hang you and all of that stuff.
- 16:33It's. Been weeks.
- 16:36And Domino stands outside and turns towards you.
- 16:39Banawe is up here being mildly rained on, although there is an
- 16:43overhang between the two buildings here in the alleyway,
- 16:47so there's no rain immediately where you are, I mean.
- 16:49Jeff, if you think about it, all those little crystals inside
- 16:52that geode, it's the same kind of stuff that's made to power up
- 16:56all those TV screens and such, use them as prisms.
- 17:00Oh, I thought you're going to say silica.
- 17:04Well, that's the outside of it, not the not the actual like
- 17:07crystal. Well, now I don't know these
- 17:10things. You're clearly more into rocks
- 17:12than I am. Vivi, may I have a cigarette?
- 17:19Yes, actually. And Vivi goes to her pack in her
- 17:25little side pocket, pulls out one for herself and for Domino
- 17:30and her little Zippo. Domino pushes your Zippo down.
- 17:34No, let me. Oh oh.
- 17:39Finger lights. Well, look at that.
- 17:41Oh, I forgot that you had that. I'm going to roll resist torture
- 17:50drugs. I rolled A20.
- 17:55Why is that in GM load that's. Annoying.
- 17:58Jeb kind of leans over to retro and it's like, are you getting
- 18:01like a, do you think, do you think Domino's hitting on Viva?
- 18:09No, Jeb, I am not hitting on VV. Well, you weren't supposed to
- 18:13hear that. Nevermind.
- 18:15You're not. You're like 20 feet.
- 18:19Damn, it's here. It's real good.
- 18:21Like I know Vendel's in the way, but they are not soundproof.
- 18:24Yeah, I'm not. You blow that the other way.
- 18:29Big deal, I can do that too. Retro will put in a marijuana in
- 18:34his mouth, light from his own hand, from his tool hand.
- 18:39Whole marijuana. This is a a.
- 18:41Whole marijuana. A stream sensation, really.
- 18:45Yeah, you actually seem to be good at most people when they
- 18:49try for the first time. They like cough and you know,
- 18:52it's like a whole mess. But you seem to be a natural.
- 18:55I think this body was a smoker. That explains it.
- 19:00That's probably why you're having the cravings and why you
- 19:04asked for one. That explains it.
- 19:07Interesting. Maybe there was more you could
- 19:09have deduced if you'd done a little bit more investigation
- 19:13before collecting this shell. Not that I don't like it, of
- 19:17course. We were in a.
- 19:18Bit of a. A rush and this one looked like
- 19:22the best one. Fair enough?
- 19:24Well, I think a small mission is probably in order, everybody.
- 19:31Oh boy, you know how much I like missions.
- 19:36May have the perfect one. And is it after this commercial
- 19:40break? No, Jeb, it's after the next
- 19:50thing I say. Which is.
- 19:55To steal a branding machine. Oh, oh, another one of them.
- 20:01Not again. Night City.
- 20:14If you look at a map of North America, somewhere on the
- 20:17western edge you'd see an inky black dot with fingers pressing
- 20:20into the side of the continent. That's where you find Night
- 20:23City. And somewhere in the middle of
- 20:25that inky black dot is a giant smoking hole, like the universe
- 20:29itself drew iron and shot straight through the city.
- 20:33Radiation turned the sky red. But our story starts a little
- 20:37further South, in a dive bar the shortstop.
- 20:41Welcome to Night City and welcome to Cyberpunk Edge of
- 20:44Extinction. Infinite Sided Dice presents
- 20:49Cyberpunk Edge of Extinction, a Cyberpunk Red actual play.
- 20:53Watch now at youtube.com slash at Infinite Sided dice catch you
- 20:58later tunes. Domino is outside with you and
- 21:15still smoking, but he's turned his attention to a vending
- 21:19machine here in the alleyway right outside Crystals by Joy.
- 21:23It's been recently renovated with a really big touch screen.
- 21:32No. What's in it?
- 21:34Jeb, it's not about what's in the vending machine.
- 21:37It's about the vending machine. Yeah, but didn't we already get
- 21:40all them vending machines to to get, you know what's?
- 21:42Up with the vending machine. This isn't for holding AI Jeb,
- 21:46this is an improvement to the bar.
- 21:48That's true, I've been wanting some snacks more often around
- 21:51down here. Let.
- 21:52Me explain what I'm getting at. Go ahead, my.
- 21:56Mistake please. So we can't use this one because
- 22:02in manufacturing they've glued the screen to the machine, so
- 22:06removing it for any other purposes will destroy it.
- 22:10However, this vending machine is a large touch screen.
- 22:16If we can find one of the prototypes of this where the
- 22:19screen is screwed on, we can repurpose that screen for the
- 22:23bar and upgrade it, which is the last thing we need before we can
- 22:31find the syndicate and finally save Night City.
- 22:37Wait, hold on. So you want to get this vending
- 22:41machine so you can bring it back here, and then that somehow
- 22:48unlocks the ability to take down one of the biggest crime
- 22:51organizations in the city. Well, we're going to use it to
- 22:54triangulate where they are, but yes.
- 22:58Oh, because one of one of the syndicate used this vending
- 23:04machine to buy chips or something and then their
- 23:09fingerprints are all over it? I'm understanding completely.
- 23:12Is he always like this? Yes.
- 23:14Yes, yes. OK, some of the conversations in
- 23:18the bar make more sense, but does?
- 23:24Anyone want to try the vending machine?
- 23:26Sure. Sure.
- 23:28Go ahead, Richard. So I need you to roll me A to
- 23:32see how many items are in there. Roll me AD 6.
- 23:37How nice? What, what, what?
- 23:42What? What did you find retro?
- 23:45Oh, I got a bunch. Let's see here.
- 23:50Found an armored jacket, you know, plus one the wardrobe in
- 23:54style and it has an SP of nine smoke grenade, regular grenade,
- 24:01A skilled chip, normal skilled chip and something just for me
- 24:09and I'll just buy that right now.
- 24:13That thing that you don't mention to everyone costs 20
- 24:16eddies. Oh yeah, I just pick it up.
- 24:19Oh great. I love this flavor.
- 24:20I'm going to put it in my pocket for later.
- 24:23Cool, and you don't buy any of the other items?
- 24:30I I don't think what is it. The armored jacket I think is
- 24:33lower than my SP that I have already.
- 24:38I guess I'll just buy the skill chip.
- 24:41All right, what skill do you want?
- 24:44Any normal skill. So anyone that has times 2 you
- 24:47cannot buy. Those are more expensive.
- 24:48Fuck yeah. I'm going to get a normal skill
- 24:54chip for I don't, I don't know. I'm I'm so good at everything.
- 25:02I'm just natural. What else can I get?
- 25:05You know what? Give me a skill chip in
- 25:10pickpocket. Pickpocket.
- 25:13Yes. Pickpocket skill chip.
- 25:16And it slides into the bottom area and 500 eddies is deducted.
- 25:22You done? Oh yeah, there is a another
- 25:26vending machine around here. Does anyone else want to check a
- 25:28different vending machine? Well, you know, I've been a bit
- 25:31packish. I'm gonna go take a look at this
- 25:33other one here. Romy NT 6.
- 25:38I'm on it. Hold on one second.
- 25:40Oh. 5. Yeah.
- 25:44You find 4 different things in this one.
- 25:47What you find, Jed? Well, it looks like they got
- 25:50bubble tea and it's, I mean, I'd say pretty expensive, but I am,
- 25:57like I said, peckish. So I'm gonna go ahead and grab
- 25:59that. Is it branded by the Bubble
- 26:01Cafe? Yeah, it is.
- 26:03Yeah. OK.
- 26:05Just making sure. What else is on this one looks
- 26:09like? There's Tasers and ginger snaps
- 26:12and a Med pack but just nothing. Nothing real.
- 26:15Gizner. Snaps.
- 26:17Yeah, there's a packet of Gizner snaps in this one.
- 26:19Yeah, but you know, I was just, I was just thinking that the,
- 26:23you know, that that bubble tea has been, I've been craving ever
- 26:25since we destroyed the last place.
- 26:30The the packet comes out of the machine, you are charged 40
- 26:34eddies and it's a little packet of powder you have to add to a
- 26:37drink. Oh man, didn't even come with
- 26:40water. Jeez.
- 26:43I go over to the bar. You you walk into crystals by
- 26:48joy. Enjoy standing there.
- 26:50I did. Hey Joy, you got any water?
- 26:54Yeah. It doesn't have to be the real
- 26:56stuff all. Right here you go.
- 27:00Oh, extra plastic. All right, I love micro
- 27:03plastics, adds to the flavor and I'm just going to add that.
- 27:07Jeb, do you? Do you?
- 27:08Need to pack. It before you put it in the
- 27:10water. Of course not.
- 27:10Come on out. Cool there.
- 27:14Shake it all up. So you watch these bubbles form
- 27:18inside VV, You watch Jeb do this, and he's not adding a
- 27:22drug. You know, Jeb, you're.
- 27:25Supposed to put other. Things in there.
- 27:27I like to shake it up. Oh, oh, no, Oh, no.
- 27:30The cap's still on. Oh, What do I do?
- 27:32What do I do? Joy.
- 27:34Joy. Help.
- 27:35Let me. Nasty.
- 27:37Yeah. Oh Jeb Rollers is torture
- 27:41tracks. That.
- 27:46That sound effect was. Funny.
- 27:49And the the some of the bubbles start coming out of your nose.
- 27:54And. And now there's one stuck in the
- 27:58back of your nose. Oh God.
- 28:01Oh, hold on. You're gonna have to wait for it
- 28:03to to dissolve over the next 10 minutes.
- 28:06Jeb's just incredibly uncomfortable for the next 10
- 28:08minutes as this, like, gelatin ball in the back of his throat
- 28:12slowly dissolves into his body. Yeah.
- 28:14Usually I'm socially uncomfortable, but now I'm
- 28:16physically uncomfortable. Are you done playing with the
- 28:23vending machines, everyone? Yeah, I did my whole bit.
- 28:26You can move on. Right.
- 28:32Well, I think what we have to do is find one.
- 28:38Whoa. Well, we just found 2.
- 28:43No, these ones have the screen glued to the back.
- 28:47We need one of the prototypes. Oh.
- 28:53There's like weather effects. OK, so we need to find the
- 29:00prototype. How did you all normally find
- 29:04things? Hi, Anna.
- 29:07Well, we reach out to a fixer. Oh fuck, that's me.
- 29:12Yeah, it's the information we get from you.
- 29:16Well, if I needed to like, search a database and like the
- 29:22company that makes vending machines, who would you normally
- 29:25talk to about that? Oh, that would be that would be
- 29:29Remy for hacking, right? Yes.
- 29:36Yeah, how? How would we find where they put
- 29:39a prototype? My sources say they used it to
- 29:43save money, but where is it? Probably in the facility still.
- 29:53Yeah, I'd probably just go ahead and check any of the, I was
- 29:59going to say returns, but any of the shipping we need the
- 30:03shipping papers that would have been coming back and forth.
- 30:05You know, I'm sure they're, they probably have some kind of paper
- 30:08trail on a prototype moving around, right?
- 30:11Yes, it. Would be labeled as that or does
- 30:13it have like a serial code number you know?
- 30:16Yes, I know the serial code all. Right, I'm just checking by that
- 30:20then. E-1097 three.
- 30:28So you're saying I do some kind of local expert?
- 30:33Oh yeah, I mean you are local and doing this is your
- 30:41expertise. Or did you say local or loco?
- 30:46Huh, Jeb? Is he always like this?
- 30:49Yeah, he's about to drive me loco.
- 30:53Oh, I see. Local expert library search or
- 30:58bureaucracy? Well, you probably want to do a
- 31:05library search because we're scanning a database.
- 31:11But if you wanted to be bureaucratic about it,
- 31:15nevermind. If you wanted to be bureaucratic
- 31:18about it, you might have to actually speak to somebody.
- 31:24That's why I think library search probably how are you with
- 31:29the Dewey Decimal System math? Is my first language.
- 31:36I don't. I don't think it's math.
- 31:39Do we still use the Dewey Decimal System?
- 31:42I haven't been hey if. Ain't broke, don't fix.
- 31:43It. There is not any budget
- 31:46allocated to the library to upgrade their organization
- 31:49system. Of course, we still use the
- 31:51Dewey Decimal System Metro. Let's analogue.
- 31:55A 22. Oh, perfect.
- 32:00As far as I can find in the records for the vending machine
- 32:04company, they just used the vending machine.
- 32:10They put it out at a gas station in the South of Knight City.
- 32:17They what they they took the prototype out and just left it
- 32:22out. There, used it, yes.
- 32:27That's weird. That is a little strange.
- 32:32Why? Why would they do that?
- 32:34It's cheaper, I imagine, to just use it rather than put it in a
- 32:41warehouse. It still works and as long as
- 32:46nobody really pays much attention it will function
- 32:49exactly the same. It is only valuable to us
- 32:52because we are going to pull it apart and use the front panel.
- 33:00This like some kind of polybus urban legend thing now.
- 33:08No, I just know that the screen is exactly what we need for our
- 33:12purposes. I'm salvaging.
- 33:17So this seems pretty straightforward.
- 33:19Go in, grab the screen, get layout.
- 33:23Yes, and of course I will pay you more.
- 33:25Well. That's good.
- 33:30I was a little bit worried about that.
- 33:33Does 1 1/2 thousand each feel appropriate?
- 33:39How much? 1 1/2 I'll.
- 33:42Get out of my chair for at least three.
- 33:46Is it time for us to negotiate retro?
- 33:51Sure. Sure, Let's go ahead.
- 33:57Everyone's favorite part of tabletop RPGs?
- 34:01Negotiating imaginary pay I'll. Tell you what, how about do you?
- 34:09Would you like to go first or should I go first?
- 34:12You should go first. What do you want to roll, Bucko?
- 34:18I see what you like. These words jab Jihaw.
- 34:21There you go. Now you're getting it.
- 34:23And I think it's the duster. I think it's helping.
- 34:30I would like to roll gamble. I'm taking a gamble on this.
- 34:40And I mean, Domino, I would feel like we're probably one of your
- 34:48top crews. You want to pay us?
- 34:51Well, you know, we're not we're not just employees.
- 34:55So you right, we're we're somewhat of a company family now
- 34:59and family would pay out family a pretty decent rate And 1000
- 35:03just I mean, that's barely enough to even really get a meal
- 35:07nowadays. I've been I understand with you
- 35:09being in cyberspace, you don't understand how money usually
- 35:13goes out around here. But like 3000 is like the
- 35:16starting price for sure. What did you roll, 22?
- 35:27I'd like to mention that my fixer level is 8.
- 35:31Yeah, but what's your bargaining level?
- 35:39I rolled a 25. Will 1500 do retro?
- 35:47I mean, sure, sure. Domino 1005, I I see how much
- 35:56you value me. 1005 is what you value me.
- 35:58That's cool. I get it.
- 36:11Next time on no latency. I don't know why you're making
- 36:19such a big deal about this, Remy.
- 36:20Well, not all of us have a silver spoon, Iona.
- 36:24Get yourself comfortable there. I know that guy.
- 36:27Domino, have you have you ridden in the car?
- 36:29Told you that he was a piece of shit.
- 36:30You tell them only we're allowed to extort VB.
- 36:32So he's shady as hell. Do we go in?
- 36:35Well, wait a minute. It's inside the gas station, not
- 36:37where the fuel's at. So I'm going to go ahead and
- 36:40pull into Bay #3. I get.
- 36:43We'll see you later I guess. I mean, if your camera is not
- 36:46working, I can get that fixed for you real quick.
- 36:48Hey you. I'm talking to you behind the
- 36:49glass. Blackmail me and a couple of
- 36:52people I was with. He said this was.
- 36:54Well, that's not going to fly bulletproof.
- 36:56He tried to extort me. Jed popped his top again.
- 36:59That's not cool. That ain't gonna fly.
- 37:01I've reached out to grab Domino's hand.
- 37:03Retro. We should be chasing Remy right
- 37:05now. Oh.
- 37:06Shit, you're more than capable of taking a few lives.
- 37:09Is that domino? Domino, that was awesome.
