NL: SideQuest - Kidney Caper - Pt2 IRS Building · No Latency

0:02
Last time on no latency side quest.
0:04
I think one of my my gal pals is going to be here.
0:07
That's my. Best friend, Coyote.
0:10
Oh, this place Let. Me answer, let me answer.
0:12
I think we should go check on Chad.
0:14
Glad, Beebe, you finally admitted this is all for.
0:16
Love Beebe? If you just always do what they
0:18
ask, they'll never learn. You have a van?
0:21
Yeah. Duh.
0:22
We need to check on Chad. Chad, I've got to help.
0:26
Maybe we should just let him die.
0:27
What the fuck are we doing in front of my apartment?
0:30
Yes, what happened? I pay rent.
0:32
Eris. The IRS.
0:33
Tampering of the T organ could result in.
0:36
The good news is you're all patched up and stable.
0:39
More fees delayed claims? Bad news is for now.
0:42
And death. He's using you.
0:45
The last time we helped him I got his hoverboard, so.
0:48
We can rob him. I'm we're we, I'm sure there
1:03
will be payment at the end of this when we get his kidneys
1:07
back. Oh, I already robbed him, so.
1:10
Oh, anything good. DM What did I find in his room
1:14
when I snuck away? Perception 17 You found 200
1:20
Eddies in cash. Mm hmm.
1:22
And you have found 10 armor piercing rounds.
1:25
And a there's a this like defensive grenade.
1:28
It's like an RPG, but you throw it.
1:30
So just a grenade. No, it's an RPG.
1:32
It's it's when you throw it, it actually rockets through the air
1:34
and fires towards a target. But there's no launcher.
1:36
You just. Rocket RPG Rocket Grenade.
1:39
Yeah, it's called the Pocket Javelin.
1:41
OK, Pocket Javelin. OK, nice.
1:43
Yeah, I found this. The Pocket Javelin.
1:46
Like 100 Eddies bullets. Wow.
1:49
That's Prem Trauma Team gear right there.
1:53
Nice. No way Chad got that from his
1:57
work. Well, I mean, he seems to be
2:00
pretty good at pilfering. I mean, he pilfered this.
2:03
I mean, he probably pilfered this money and he's pilfered
2:06
your heart. So I mean, I guess if we need to
2:08
do this in order to, you know, fix it, then I guess we'll have
2:11
to go and do it. I mean, is that true?
2:13
Has he pilfered your heart? I hold my gut on Come.
2:17
On Coyote. Let's They're putting all this
2:19
effort into this guy. I mean, come.
2:20
On I'm just trying to help a person who I dated in medical
2:24
school, OK? Like.
2:27
Yeah, this is, this is starting to feel more and more like a
2:29
dependent kind of relationship. And I mean, like if this is
2:32
going to help get you over the hump.
2:33
I'm and you're having this conversation as you head down
2:36
the stairs passed by Evan who's now reading a a screamsheet and
2:40
you get in the van and you drive off to.
2:43
I think we should go to this this address 378 Hygeia Ave.
2:48
Hygiene Way Hydrangea Blvd. I mean, I'm all for it.
2:55
By the way, what was wrong with him anyways?
2:57
He failed to pay the IRS, and so they took his organs, which?
3:04
Ones did they take? Tax season, you know.
3:06
So shit. I gotta do my taxes.
3:10
Wait, which one? Which?
3:11
Ones did they take? Oh, Cody, give me a driving
3:14
check. Driving There we go 26.
3:18
Yeah. That is a really, really good
3:21
role. My mom made me these dice for
3:22
Christmas. Like the?
3:25
Matrix. They're all love it.
3:28
Love the green? They're awesome.
3:30
I love, yeah, all of them are really cool.
3:34
It's. Just shapes and you're driving
3:36
down the streets towards the IRF.
3:40
And some crunchy jams. And you've rolled high enough,
3:42
Coyote, that you hear swerving behind you.
3:46
I look. I don't want them to know that
3:48
I'm looking. You take a peek at the rear view
3:51
mirror and there, through the very back of your van, you see a
3:55
open back truck with a gyrocopter in the back.
3:59
Well, and if you'll look behind you, you'll see some fuckers
4:03
behind us with the gyrocopter folks.
4:07
I don't know what you want to do about that.
4:08
Takes two ways to drive. Sometimes that's.
4:12
It's just somebody with a gyrocopter, right?
4:15
And that's not anything to worry about, just somebody that enjoys
4:20
gyroing on their off time. Yeah, what's a gyrocopter?
4:25
Is it gyro, Is it euro? Hero.
4:29
Hero Copter. It's a miniature helicopter for
4:34
one person. That looks sick as hell.
4:40
I feel like. There's two seats in it.
4:43
It's fine. Honestly.
4:44
I'm not worried about it. I just sometimes there's a
4:46
narrator who talks to me and makes it feel like I should be
4:49
worried about. Gyrocopters are not really
4:54
common with. Cars.
4:57
I've ridden a a gyrocopter before.
4:59
They're pretty sick. Those copters go faster than you
5:02
think they would. It's like common bird.
5:04
Buds. And they're honking at you.
5:08
Sign from the IRS office, has its own area, and as you're
5:13
driving you could you take the same turn and they follow behind
5:16
you and you could see the guy in the van giving you a look as
5:19
you're not driving fast enough for him.
5:21
He's giving you like shit. I.
5:22
Flip on the bird out the window is.
5:24
There a rear window for us. Yeah, you're retro.
5:27
You're looking at the back and there's this, like, really
5:29
pissed off maelstrom guy. I just.
5:32
I just should have given both pressed hams right up against
5:35
the window. Just one, two, both cheeks.
5:39
They don't even like pull it apart and so they could be see a
5:41
bit of starfish. Oh my God.
5:44
Well. In that case.
5:46
Roll for butthole. Roll for niche tip.
5:50
Yeah, Retro's showing a hole, hey.
5:52
Coyote don't eat a pothole. Night City.
6:07
If you look at a map of North America, somewhere on the
6:10
western edge, you'd see an inky black dot with fingers pressing
6:13
into the side of the continent. That's where you find Night
6:16
City. And somewhere in the middle of
6:18
that inky black dot is a giant smoking hole.
6:22
Like the universe itself drew iron and shot straight through
6:24
the city. Radiation turned the sky red.
6:28
But our story starts a little further South in a dive bar, The
6:33
shortstop Welcome to Night City. And welcome to Cyberpunk.
6:37
Edge of Extinction, Infinite Sided.
6:41
Dice presents Cyberpunk Edge of Extinction, a cyberpunk red
6:45
actual play. Watch now at youtube.com Slash
6:48
at Infinite Sided Dice. Catch you later, chums.
7:08
Coyote Is this window able to open?
7:12
Yeah, absolutely. It's a window.
7:13
Can you how do you roll it down? The door does open, but you have
7:19
to crank the the thing on it. It's an old mom.
7:22
I have to crank to open the door, so it's like a hole you
7:25
have. To open the window, it's like a
7:27
whole thing. Yeah, it's good though all.
7:29
Right. I guess I'll just have to hand
7:30
crank it. Right, you crank open the door
7:33
and now you can hear the street behind the van and it's filled
7:37
with dust and the smell of the city as Coyote continues to
7:41
drive towards the IRS. All right, for my free action, I
7:49
would like to say I'm sorry and I'm going to cut one of the
7:55
safety belts and tie it to my belt in case something happens,
8:01
OK? That's OK, We don't use those
8:03
anyway. Don't worry about it.
8:06
And I'm just going to like sit down on the floor of the van,
8:11
putting my feet up against the edges of the walls to kind of
8:15
like brace myself. I'm going to aim for the driver
8:18
with my K Tech hammer. Those Sunday drivers directly
8:22
right in the face. 25 Nice crit fail on damage.
8:29
There's a window blocking. Now, as you're looking through
8:32
the site, the thing that you notice that this guy has a tea
8:36
organ on his chest. Organ on his chest.
8:41
How do you see that? The tea organs are like a big
8:44
thing that's stuck to the outside.
8:46
So he's like Tony Stark in it like.
8:48
Only on his left side. And as you shoot him, that's 14,
8:53
because you did a crit fail. You do not hit the tea organ and
8:57
he does take a hit. Good.
9:01
For some reason in my mind when you keep saying the tea organs,
9:04
I'm imagining the pack from a crank.
9:08
Remember the movie with Jason Statham where they took away his
9:10
heart and he had to find a new way there?
9:12
It's it's shaped like a plastic mushroom.
9:14
There's a little square on top, like it's a peg that's been
9:18
plugged into where the organs going to be and then this
9:20
specific organ is on the inside. OK, so this has been like
9:23
manufactured designed to look weird.
9:26
So. It's a cybernetic organ for
9:28
people who owe money for the organs currently being used to
9:31
they. Want to make you feel bad?
9:32
Yeah, it's a shame. It's a shame.
9:36
It's a shame. You OK it?
9:38
Has a. It also has a GPS tracker on it
9:39
so they can find you because you owe them money.
9:42
Yeah, but I mean, to do it that way, it seems like they're just
9:44
trying to shame you in front of everybody else.
9:46
But OK, I get you. I get it.
9:48
I mean, it's a good gaslighting tactic.
9:51
Shit. I mean, there's not much else I
9:52
could do because it only has one shot, but I want to take another
9:54
one on my turn. Coyote, roll the driving check.
9:57
Yo, I guess so. Yeah, I guess I can do that for
10:01
you. That's a one.
10:03
God damn. That's.
10:04
Another one. What is going on?
10:09
Six. That's an 1111 of the drug
10:12
check, baby. All right, you failed. 12 I
10:15
guess. The DV was 13.
10:18
Cool, perfect. Fail to avoid the swerve and the
10:21
vehicle gets rammed from behind vehicle for damage.
10:27
Crunch. Around.
10:33
All right, fine. You going to damage mine and
10:35
then I'm going to hard break and then back up.
10:39
Bumper. Car.
10:40
Exact some Fast and Furious shit, right?
10:43
Yeah. Shit.
10:45
Is that a drive? Check.
10:47
Drive. 20. 20 Yes. I mean, I imagine, Oh, that's a
10:52
one. That's another one.
10:55
It's still, it's a crypt fail. Yes, you smack into the front of
10:58
their vehicle. The guy on the back rolls to
11:02
hold on. That is hilariously A1.
11:05
That is a 7. So he goes flying into the
11:08
vehicle. Now there's a maelstrom in the
11:11
vehicle. He.
11:14
Is now like right up against the back seats in the back of the
11:17
van, lying between VB and Retro Retro because of his crit fail.
11:23
He missed you as he flew in. He just sort of flew over your
11:25
head. Oh God, he's in here.
11:28
You you guys, get him out. Get him out.
11:30
Get him out. No, he's angry.
11:32
He just needs it. Oh, God, no, don't.
11:34
Gosh, this guy's trying to be. He's trying to say something,
11:36
but VD is now batting at him. Yeah, the guy who is driving now
11:41
does not have his friend and is kind of pissed off about it.
11:44
So he pulls out his assault rifle, leans against the side of
11:46
the vehicle and shoots at retro, rolling a 13, which is not
11:52
enough. The bullets go wide, scattering
11:54
around the vehicle. Oh, he manages to retain control
11:58
of the vehicle, but this moves everything forward a little bit.
12:01
I got this boss. I'm.
12:02
In here and I'm going to use this heavy melee weapon on
12:05
Earth. VV Odds are evens.
12:07
Evens. Evens it is.
12:09
Take that square. Head.
12:11
Retro You get attacked by a heavy melee weapon 16.
12:15
Yes? With your 16, what do you do as
12:18
part of your evasion? Okay when he attacks me with the
12:21
metal baseball bat I pulled the seat belt buckle.
12:26
Not that I had from the back of my waist, causing it to whirl
12:30
back, slapping him in the face. Just enough of a distraction to
12:33
miss me as I just move out of the way before that baseball hat
12:37
crunches into the very like cushy floors.
12:41
What kind of flowering is this? Is this like shag carpet?
12:44
Yes, in. Between the bits of shag carpet
12:47
are solid metal because it's a shitty van.
12:49
I mean, it's still nice though, yeah.
12:50
It's a nice van, all right. I live in here so.
12:55
Wow. That is one that is a ten That
12:58
is the most, the most crit fail you can get.
13:02
Literally. And this guy, as the seat belt
13:04
hits him in the face, his baseball bat makes him leave
13:06
balance. He pulls out the back of the
13:09
vehicle, smacks into the other vehicle with the guy with.
13:13
The. Thing stuck in his shit chest.
13:15
They swerve out of the way. How does he do that?
13:18
Is a three. That is not enough.
13:21
And they swerve off to the side, crashing into a fire hydrant,
13:25
and you drive off to the IRS and this weird compound is over.
13:31
Man. That's great.
13:33
It seems as if they were exhausted.
13:36
That was that was a good one, I'll admit it.
13:40
I didn't get it. You the Nomad, the driver
13:44
exhaust. Can you explain it to me?
13:47
You know. You never, you never never
13:49
explain A1 liner or a joke. It either lands or don't.
13:52
But if I don't get the joke? But how am I supposed to laugh
13:55
and think it's funny if if you don't explain?
13:58
It that's my fault. I got to make sure that I find
14:00
and I get right into that humor line for you.
14:03
OK, Hey, we're here. Oh shit, we are.
14:07
As you drive up to the IRS building, you notice that there
14:09
is no customer parking and you're going to have to pay for
14:12
parking. So Romney, a driving check to.
14:13
I swear to God. These guys I mean.
14:17
Is there like a parking attendant?
14:19
No. Can we just not pay it's?
14:21
Up to you. Yeah, I'm not going to pay.
14:23
Fuck. You.
14:24
Fuck the IRS. Fuck Night City.
14:26
I'm a nomad. Modern, modern displays of money
14:30
and and currency can't tie me down.
14:33
All right. So are you going to park your
14:35
vehicle in the back? Sure, Yeah, all.
14:37
Right. Hold on.
14:38
Yolo. In the rear.
14:41
I don't. I don't really have a plan here.
14:46
I just, we have to find Chad's kidneys.
14:51
They're probably going to not give them up because he owes
14:55
15,000 Eddie's. So we're just going to have to
15:02
steal them. And you know what?
15:03
Maybe we can get some extra organs while we're here, right?
15:07
Very valuable. Oh.
15:10
Wow. I mean if something happens.
15:13
No, I love this. I love this.
15:15
I love. I love.
15:16
I love who. You become when you're with me.
15:18
I feel like I feel. Like.
15:20
You get in your head sometimes and then when you and I are
15:23
together, it's like I'm watching an artist come up with, like
15:25
come into their own and just like, yes, like let's do drugs,
15:30
let's go. Or take it up.
15:32
I'm taking a. Back shit up.
15:34
VV Why don't you like this when you're with the crew?
15:37
I mean, you're always so against it when you're you've only
15:40
recently started getting this way.
15:42
I I feel like your other friends are starting to have more of a
15:46
influence on you. Which I'm all for.
15:49
Go all for it, Coyote. Get them to get that inner dark
15:52
side out. VV.
15:54
Roll me AD 10, uh. Oh, OK.
15:59
Are you eating Pocky? Yes.
16:02
You are you you are eating. You are eating nicotine Pocky.
16:06
Which you Oh my God. From a a vending machine at the
16:10
Bubble Cafe on the one Let's look it.
16:15
Amazing. It tastes like bad choices and
16:18
like a hint of smoky coffee, but it's very pleasant.
16:23
Was that what I? Rolled the D10 for yes.
16:27
I thought it was like some morality check or something.
16:31
Retro Coyote and VV You are behind the IRS building.
16:39
So yeah, if anybody got any plans, do we want to just like,
16:45
pretend we're like, I don't know, some people who are here
16:51
to, like, pay our debts, We're here to claim our benefits.
16:57
Short like can I apply to be on an income base for payment plan
17:01
you know or my my debts that I have?
17:05
Can I get a better kidney? Yes.
17:09
I've been getting I've been getting too many kidney
17:11
infections, too many UTI's because that's usually what
17:14
happens. I have a kidney infection and I
17:16
can't. Roll me a Perception check while
17:18
you talk. Oh, OK.
17:19
Yeah. You know, like if you have a lot
17:20
of kidney infections, you tend to get, you know, like Utis
17:23
which are very transferable usually by, you know, leaving
17:28
pedal on a toilet seat or having intercourse and such like that.
17:32
So, you know, and I was. Really educational.
17:36
Read it from a medical textbook. I remember I remember my studies
17:41
when I went to college. You went to college?
17:44
I got 3°. You got 3°.
17:48
Retro you you notice with your 3° the back of the the building.
17:52
You notice that the back of the building has no back door, but
17:54
it does have a fairly powerful HVAC duct system attached to the
17:59
back of the building. We're going through the vents.
18:02
Oh. I mean, I did just have a
18:04
flashback to another time in which we had air ducts in which
18:09
we made a nice little concoction.
18:11
I think it would be cool to go in and just be like, yo, what's
18:14
up? And then someone else kills the
18:16
other person. I don't know.
18:18
That feels like most of the plants we come up with is just,
18:21
I mean. Shoot our way through.
18:23
To them and then I mean this. Is this is really Vivi's kind of
18:28
plan? So I'm just running point.
18:31
Yeah, I'm I'm bad at coming up with plans though.
18:33
Which is why you need the experience.
18:35
Let's go. Come on.
18:36
This is this is for the love of your life.
18:38
Let's get through this. No, no, no, no.
18:40
Chat is not the love of my life. This is the help.
18:43
Chad not even like of her life. You keep saying that, but I keep
18:47
seeing but this. Everything we're going through
18:48
right now is telling me otherwise.
18:51
I'm just trying to help a person and take down big corporations.
18:55
Yeah, she's punk as fuck. Thank God I'm not.
18:59
Hear that. Thank God, I only didn't hear
19:02
that. Always about a man, OK?
19:04
Sometimes you go on a quest to help people for you, you know?
19:08
And that's what Vivi's all about.
19:09
I know they're trying to. They're either they're either
19:13
trying to show their love or try to remove all the love that they
19:16
have out for this and some kind of weird bonding symbiosis thing
19:20
they have with this Chad. It's not about Chad.
19:23
It's about the greater. Good, you say, as you step into
19:28
the lobby of the IRS office, which feels like a post office
19:32
and a DMV had a really, really upset child.
19:36
How many people are in here? There are 4 booths, 1 is not
19:40
manned, only one person is being served.
19:43
There are three people in line and a security guard by the door
19:46
to the left, and there are two vending machines in here.
19:49
How crumbed up does the security guard look?
19:52
He looks a little distracted. If you want to go over and talk
19:54
to him, you can. Is there a number system like
19:58
take a ticket here? No.
19:59
There is a line though. I think, I think with these
20:04
kinds of situations you get seen quicker if you make a scene.
20:08
That's true. If you start crying, people will
20:11
start doing stuff for you. I do it all the time.
20:14
All right, who wants to be the one to cry?
20:16
Well, I. Feel like you're a beautiful
20:17
woman, so I rub her back. I'm like, it's gonna be.
20:28
OK can. We get some help here.
20:30
There is a woman crying here. Yeah, hold on, hold on.
20:37
Please, I've been waiting. I've come back here every.
20:41
Day. Excuse me, Are you all right?
20:45
Is is everything OK? Are you all right?
20:47
No. I I'm very concerned that you're
20:50
making a scene in here. Please be quiet in the IRS.
20:54
It's concerning. Well, she.
20:56
Thought you could make that much noise.
20:57
No, she needs to be seen immediately.
21:00
She's she's in my stress. I I am I.
21:03
Need financial help? She needs to be seen
21:05
immediately. We can't wait in this line.
21:07
I'm with the local scream sheet. Can you go ahead and tell me all
21:11
the issues that you're having here, particularly at the IRS?
21:13
I I have AI have a due date coming out for tonight.
21:16
Please go ahead and tell me everything that's going on.
21:18
Well, yeah, do you, do you need to see an adjuster or?
21:24
Well, obviously she's in an immense amount of pain right
21:27
now, and nobody's helping her. Please, please, ma'am, tell me
21:30
exactly what's been going on here with all this time that the
21:32
IRS hasn't been helping you, so I can put this down.
21:34
And take as much time as you need to.
21:37
Tell your thoughts it. Was the.
21:41
The kidneys I've I've signed up for a repayment plan and I've
21:46
been on a waiting list and I've come back every day this past
21:50
week and they keep telling. They keep pushing out my date.
21:56
IRS has been imposing blackout dates so that way they can
21:59
continue to collect extra fees on top of unpayments, so that
22:04
way they can scam you out of pay.
22:06
OK, what else? Ma'am, please tell me more.
22:09
Gladys I'm I'm, I'm going to, I'm going to pull AA1080 on this
22:15
one, if that's all right. I think so.
22:17
What's your name so I can make sure I can get this for the
22:19
report? And how do you respond to these
22:21
claims? I'm, I mean I'm just, I'm just
22:24
hired security. I don't actually manage, Greg.
22:28
Security guard has no power and apparently cannot seem to help
22:32
anybody wishes that they could but.
22:35
Roll for this performance and this pageantry.
22:39
See if I believe you, grumpy face.
22:46
I'm watching it. That's a 22.
22:49
Yo. 22 How's that a 22? That's 20.
22:53
Because I got a motherfucking head high.
22:56
Oh, that's right. Well, look, I'm sorry everyone.
23:05
This person is in distress. I'm going to show them to the
23:09
bathroom. They are not skipping line at
23:12
all. He looks at you.
23:13
At all right those that's that's yes in crying.
23:27
So follow me. Yeah, that's the tour.
23:31
Hero Guard has taken a choice in providing help to the person so
23:37
they can continue on. This is something to look up to
23:40
here in Knight City. Tracy, I need you to roll some
23:45
kind of performance role. Yeah, acting.
23:49
Come on. Where is that?
23:51
Yes. Oh no.
23:56
You have nothing in acting. Apparently not.
23:59
Something. They rolled A Crip.
24:01
They roll the Crip. Yeah.
24:03
As you're walking in the hallway, you are entertained by
24:07
retros rumor pretending, and it makes you laugh.
24:10
Wait. Wait, wait, wait.
24:20
Hold on. Everything hurts.
24:22
What's all this business? We're here for the organs.
24:27
I pull a gun out and I skip them from behind.
24:30
Wait, oh, are you are you making this combat now?
24:35
Yeah, the jig is up. IRS guard seems to be unprepared
24:40
for anybody to make any advances on them and has been caught by
24:44
surprise. Are you are you going to direct
24:46
this whole thing to the person? Guard, which still has not given
24:51
up name, has almost now pissed their pants.
24:55
The jig is up or here for the organs.
24:59
The Oregon we. Don't keep organs here.
25:01
It's just paperwork. Where are the organs then,
25:04
bitch? We we deal with a third party
25:07
for oh, I also don't know that information.
25:10
You'd have to ask. To someone who knows.
25:13
Well that's well, it's not three against one, it's three against
25:16
three because. But there are two other guards
25:18
in here, so. Oh yeah, where?
25:20
Where are they now? We'll blow all of you up.
25:24
I mean, we're all covered in armor and and we're standing
25:27
here in this facility that we know.
25:30
Then why are they coming after you, huh?
25:34
3 guards pointed out you. 3 Guards seem helpless against duo
25:38
super team of female colleagues who seem to be kicking ass upon
25:44
this entire IRS system in which the guards seem feeble to do
25:47
anything about. This is AI think, a face down
25:52
role, right? This is what this is.
25:54
Yeah, come on now. Look, somebody knows?
25:59
Face down. Very sneaky.
26:02
I like that. I like that.
26:04
Cool Plus reputation plus one D10O.
26:06
Boy, I don't know. I think mine actually might be
26:09
better than babies. But you might have good
26:12
reputation. I don't think I have anything to
26:13
reputation. I think that would be, let me
26:16
just do the math, 6789101112131415, that'd be
26:21
1616. What's your reputation?
26:25
It is at 4 no. It is at 5, so it's 17.
26:28
Five, yes, that's. She's notorious.
26:34
I mean, you're tough, but most of this is just people who are
26:39
infirmed because they're missing organs.
26:42
So I'm not really used to this. Do you?
26:44
Are you sure you want to fight? Do you not just want to wait
26:48
patiently for an adjuster? No, we know how this works.
26:53
Oh fuck. And we are.
26:55
Tired of being exploited? All right, well, I get -1 to
27:00
everything against you for the for the rest of time.
27:03
Take us to the person who knows where the organs are held or
27:07
we're going to blast all of your heads off.
27:09
Right, OK. Who's your third party contact?
27:12
Who's dealing with the guts? Well, then it it then I'm.
27:15
I'm, I'm very sorry to say, Right not.
27:18
It is indeed time to roll, fridge.
27:20
Unless you would like to force me to take you somewhere else.
27:23
But there are. Just because you rolled high
27:25
enough. I'm going to say there are more
27:27
guards and people beyond this door.
27:31
Yeah, yeah, I was going to say I try to block this door behind us
27:42
with like a vendit or something. There's nothing in this hallway
27:46
on purpose. Fuck, hey, I'm all for VV, I, I
27:50
said. I was following you into it and
27:52
now whatever your plans are, that's how it's going to be
27:54
This. Is obviously a great plan.
27:59
I think it's great. So you're in this hallway with
28:02
these three guards and VV you rolled highest on initiative.
28:06
What do? You do?
28:07
I did. I am going to pull out my San
28:13
Ruru Hello Kitty Ultra K8 assault pistol.
28:16
Hell yeah. And I'm just going to shoot at
28:20
the, you know, the guy, he was talking because he's, he was
28:22
annoying me. So I shoot.
28:26
I fire. 18 He does not have a reflex of eight, so he does get
28:31
hit. It was a good hit, yes.
28:35
Quite. And that was the 17 damage.
28:40
Oh fuck, you shot me. I said I was gonna.
28:44
Double sixes. You shot me very well.
28:47
Shit. Double sixes?
28:49
Oh shit. Is that regular ammo or armor
28:51
piercing? I think it's armor piercing.
28:56
Fair enough. I do have armor piercing, Sean.
29:01
Yeah. So he takes a decent hit.
29:02
He also has to roll on the critical injury table.
29:05
Go for the legs. Crushed fingers, he falls back
29:13
and crushes his hand. -4 to all actions involving that hand.
29:16
Paramedic fix DB13 and full treatment is a surgery DB15.
29:22
That's bad. Oh my.
29:23
Hand fork Oh God, oh oh oh oh. I have an expression for this
29:32
look at. That does that gun shoot once or
29:37
twice? I believe with the way I have
29:40
it, it's only once rate of fire one because I don't have it on.
29:44
Yeah, because it's a pistol, so it should only have, yeah.
29:47
One shot. And do you want to move at all?
29:49
You're just sort of standing in a line in this hole.
29:51
Yeah, I'm going to move forward like about about about there.
29:58
OK. And Greg turns to you.
30:00
Greg now now with a -, 4 to use anything two handed so he does
30:05
not get his result rifle. He gets out his heavy pistol and
30:08
shoots you point blank. 11 That's bad shot.
30:11
He misses at point blank range, getting not 11 but a 10 because
30:16
he has -1. Two attacks to you and his
30:18
bullet goes wide, sticking into the wall.
30:23
That sucks. That was.
30:25
That's not ideal. No, look, you still have time.
30:29
Burnt surrender. Oh, Bang Bang. 14.
30:35
Yes, I hit you with crit fail damage, which is annoying you.
30:39
Take you. Wait, what is your armor?
30:41
That doesn't even ablate my armor.
30:43
Well, pants. Says Greg.
30:46
Guards behind him. Also shoots Phoebe with an
30:50
assault rifle missing as the bullets fly past VV.
30:54
Everyone kind of looks at VV like they're in glistening rain
30:57
in a Studio Ghibli movie as the bullets glisten in the
31:00
fluorescent light of this horrible.
31:02
Down the hallway. Bullets glisten and dance around
31:06
the Med tech as the feeble guards seem to shoot without
31:10
ever having taken target practice whatsoever.
31:12
Yo, that was sick as hell. Cool.
31:14
I'm going to move up here and I'm gonna take out my baseball
31:22
bat that suspiciously is painted to look a lot like these.
31:30
And it says girls night on it. And I'm gonna, I'm gonna take a
31:34
couple swings at this guy for 19. 19 The first attack hits
31:42
for. 8. Damage.
31:45
Eight damage 8. Damage.
31:48
That is a decent amount of damage, so he takes 4.
31:51
Cool. Work.
31:55
Are you going to attack the same person again because you can
31:57
attack twice with a mellow weapon.
31:59
Yeah, this one attack. 20. 20. All.
32:04
Right. Let's see, Let's see how their
32:06
evasion is on this one. 15 damage.
32:09
If it hits. If it hits, which it will,
32:12
obviously. 11 That is not enough, yes.
32:16
So he takes a hit for 15 damage, did you say?
32:19
Yes. I did.
32:20
Damn. So 15 / 2 is not an even number.
32:25
So it's eight and he takes another critical injury to the
32:29
body. Break his arm.
32:31
Now he has a broken hand and a broken arm on the same side
32:34
because it wasn't a crit. Fail and he drops his assault
32:39
rifle on the ground. Fuck.
32:42
Oh, this is meant to be a cushy job.
32:45
I'm nice. Not nice enough, because you're
32:48
still working for the man. One of the guards in the back
32:53
points his assault rifle, now a coyote, because they are the
32:56
closer target and shoots missing with the 12 also create failed
32:59
damage as well. So just like wild bullets now
33:01
Vivi, you see the same thing as the glow sticks caused the
33:04
bullets in midair to glow ever so slightly purple.
33:07
It glistens like do in the air and then you hear ricochets in
33:10
the background. Wow.
33:13
It's really cool. Like like the dew falling from
33:15
the sky in Night City. The bullets just rain around
33:19
this powerful woman combo, while these ineffective guards are
33:24
unable to do anything. And it's retroid stone.
33:29
Oh shit. That was the turn.
33:32
That's. All I need narration.
33:35
OK, this will get it to be a first for a coyote.
33:40
Retro will reach behind them into their Tetromino backpack
33:44
and pull out their assault rifle code name Skeleton Key.
33:48
All right, well, you call this security Cox the gun.
33:57
I'm call it target practice and I've got a deadline to reach and
34:01
I'll fire at one of the ones at the back.
34:03
One on the left or the one on the right?
34:04
Which one hasn't been hit yet? Either One of them?
34:07
Neither of them. Then the one on the right.
34:10
Wow. 7 Not great damage though, but it does hit you hit for 21
34:18
damage. Confused like.
34:22
Is that armor piercing? Yes, because he did give me
34:24
armor piercing bullets. OK, and he isn't quite below
34:29
half health, but that hurt and it pushes him back a step.
34:34
And then I'd like to use my bonus action to try to
34:43
intimidate them. I don't know.
34:44
I guess another face down to put their weapons down and just.
34:50
Or you're trying to call the fight off?
34:51
Yeah. All right, roll for it.
34:55
See how that goes. Badly could fail.
34:58
Oh fucking ones ones. The I I'm on my call is not
35:04
great. My call is 6.
35:08
So 6 roll another D10. Oh my God.
35:12
That's good. Remember one on ones, so you got
35:15
one-on-one, which means you are -1 to your your call plus
35:18
reputation. So your call is what was it?
35:21
6. 6/6 plus Rep which is 6 is 12 -, 1 is 11.
35:30
I just rolled A1 and A3. Classic.
35:34
And you rolled the same. Well, Ty goes to the defender,
35:39
so it doesn't work. This this plan of yours does not
35:43
work. It's too late for luck.
35:45
No, it's too late for it now, boys.
35:49
You can go ahead and just put your weapons down and allow us
35:53
to, you know, take our items that we need and bugger off and
35:58
lick your wounds. For the last time, we don't keep
36:02
organs here, you dumb fuck. You're dead next, that one.
36:07
Which one? Said that one.
36:08
Are you talking to me? Customers never fucking listen.
36:12
You are a dumb fuck. He's dead.
36:15
He's fucking dead. Next time on no latency side
36:28
quest. Yeah, yeah.
36:33
Oh, let's go do it. Hit him again.
36:37
Yeah, he didn't seem very gregarious.
36:38
Who's. In charge of the guts.
36:40
That's some peanut butter Jelly time right there.
36:43
I shoot him. All right, this is that guy.
36:46
Shoot his ass. Let's go.
36:48
We should move quickly. Can.
36:50
We rob him. How do you get in the store?
36:51
Before that, I'm going to shoot this one day.
36:54
All right, Retro. I don't know if we need to.
36:56
Make me a liar if I don't. I'm not your mom.
36:59
Do whatever you want. I guess we're going through the
37:00
fence. Somebody better persuade me or
37:02
something, because I'm going to do it.
37:03
Retro, I just met you. I don't even know you.
37:06
We might be able to get through this way.
37:08
Come out to the bubble tea, We'll get together, have a few
37:11
laughs. We can kill him.
37:13
Hello, are you Sid? Which executive?
37:16
What apartment? I'll just jump on here and see
37:18
what I can find. We better get out of here.
37:21
