S2E40 - Sandevistan Combat · No Latency

• 0:02
  The last time on no latency. 6 suspects and a few clues.
• 0:09
  I think I just got scalded with that hot tea.
• 0:11
  Ow, there are a lot of people in this room who would pay a lot of
• 0:14
  money for that kind of information.
• 0:16
  What do you know about Jessica? Why would she do it?
• 0:20
  Steele was going to leak the information that Jessica
• 0:23
  supposedly quote, UN quote hid. Motive is motive is motive.
• 0:26
  Poor Gabriel Steel may have fallen victim to somebody with a
• 0:30
  San Devastin. Tell him that Jessica told us
• 0:31
  everything and that they're the one who did it.
• 0:33
  Someone with a San Devastin killed steel.
• 0:36
  But you, Hunter, you have reason.
• 0:39
  Jessica, you said this would get to be smooth.
• 0:41
  Fucking bitch. And I would have gotten away
• 0:44
  with it too. That went for these.
• 0:46
  Pesky kids. Uh.
• 0:48
  Oh. Let's get her.
• 1:00
  Golfer initiative Vivi. Care to join me behind the bar?
• 1:04
  Yes, I think that's a good idea. Now, just just to make sure, if
• 1:09
  you were taking off your clothes, you would have seen
• 1:10
  that you had a thing on your back, right?
• 1:13
  No, darling, I had a skin graft over it.
• 1:16
  Oh shit. See Jeb?
• 1:19
  I mean, I get that you might want to see me in a state of
• 1:22
  undress, but right now it's maybe a little in a prime
• 1:24
  parade. You got me there.
• 1:27
  If you have something to say, Corpo no.
• 1:32
  Just the Jeb is an idiot. I'm sure you found that out
• 1:34
  already. Oh no, that's obvious.
• 1:37
  It's fucking Peaches, baby. But also, like however
• 1:40
  fashionable you guys are, I'm going to fucking kill you.
• 1:44
  Oh shit. I don't like this.
• 1:46
  Retro. What's?
• 1:48
  Your. Reflex.
• 1:50
  I believe they already beat me in initiative cuz they got a 21
• 1:54
  + 5. That's 26, my dude.
• 1:56
  Yes, I just wanna know what your reflex is. 5.
• 2:00
  All right, cuz Jessica's currently got a reflex of eight.
• 2:05
  Who saw that coming? I can't even see them coming.
• 2:08
  Yeah. Wait Reflex of eight.
• 2:09
  Yes. Hey, same.
• 2:13
  Jessica pulls out her Millitech Fox Duel Ammo pistol.
• 2:18
  With incendiary ammo in it, you see the tip of the gun let off a
• 2:23
  little flame as she flicks it around, flicks it into the other
• 2:26
  hand so fast it almost looks like it teleports it all.
• 2:30
  Gives you a little shiver as you realize she's damn fast.
• 2:34
  And she moves very, very quickly up onto the stage, right
• 2:39
  parallel to Retro, pulls out this gun and fires 15.
• 2:43
  Hitting you. Oh.
• 2:44
  Shit. You are hit with incendiary
• 2:47
  ammo, my guy. Oh.
• 2:49
  No. That's 13 damage than your armor
• 2:52
  and retro is set on fire. Oh my gosh, no.
• 2:56
  Oh shit. Oh shit.
• 2:57
  I'm trying to. I'm burning it up.
• 2:59
  I'm flaming. Holy fuck.
• 3:00
  Jesus. OK, we got to help him.
• 3:02
  So retro, then staggers across the room with what throw a
• 3:06
  bottle of water at him? We got to put out the flames.
• 3:09
  You are behind the bar. That's actually a viable idea,
• 3:12
  Iona. Shit, you're right.
• 3:14
  You got the little hose, the little hose that they fill the
• 3:16
  cups. With and Jeb, you've grabbed the
• 3:18
  attention with your little hose comment because behind the bar
• 3:23
  they've got hose for different kinds of drinks.
• 3:25
  And switching the ammo type in her gun, she switches it to the
• 3:30
  other hand again almost instantly and attacks Jeb,
• 3:34
  hitting him. That's a 20.
• 3:36
  Hitting him with the armor piercing and dodge.
• 3:43
  Oh, oh. Blading your armor by two if you
• 3:42
  cannot dodge. Oh my goodness, yes, 21.
• 3:47
  You take a sidestep and the bullet flies across you and hits
• 3:50
  the ground. Whoa.
• 3:52
  Hi, Careful, you almost got me. Oh, very good there, Jeb.
• 3:56
  Oh, this is fun. I shouldn't be in the middle,
• 3:58
  though. Oh shit.
• 3:59
  Jessica gets annoyed at her weapon, One successful hit and
• 4:04
  one unsuccessful hit. Dang they.
• 4:06
  To finish off their turn, they slide across the stage and hit
• 4:11
  retro in the back of the body with their.
• 4:16
  Got it out for Retro. Well, I suppose he is the one
• 4:19
  that can kind of screw up her. Cybernetics, right?
• 4:23
  You're right. Why wouldn't they go after me?
• 4:24
  I'm smoking after all. As Jessica slides across the
• 4:27
  stage. Oh, you think you can be lit
• 4:29
  here? Haha.
• 4:31
  She slices her cane across you and unfortunately misses
• 4:37
  drastically. This does, however, although it
• 4:40
  does not hurt you, cause you to fall off the stage.
• 4:42
  Whoa. Can I?
• 4:45
  Can I do my action as I fall? Absolutely, because it's your
• 4:49
  turn. So you're falling off the stage
• 4:51
  as your turn begins. So since it's my turn and I've
• 4:55
  got this brand shiny new shotgun that I purchased my K Tech
• 5:01
  Hammer, I'm going to go ahead and I'm going to use its special
• 5:04
  fire and launch a smart rocket directly in their face.
• 5:08
  See. 24 + 9 cool. So as I fall off the stage, I
• 5:15
  might they. Get to a bed, they.
• 5:17
  Do. You know, it's the nature.
• 5:19
  And they've got a. They've got a they've got to
• 5:21
  send it busy and make it to it, yeah.
• 5:24
  Send Destin. Oh.
• 5:26
  Still. In a gloves, if you had, I mean
• 5:29
  like, let's let's be honest, that's a tough person to beat.
• 5:32
  They rolled a 21. Yeah, baby, I got.
• 5:36
  This. 33 that's I'm getting to that.
• 5:39
  I'm just saying, like in terms of evasion, that's pretty good.
• 5:42
  But. Your crit beats this as your
• 5:45
  weapon. Fires towards Jessica.
• 5:49
  She is unable to avoid your hit as she puts one of her arms up
• 5:54
  to protect herself. As I fall off, launch the rocket
• 5:58
  directly out of my new tech hammer, I think, pushing myself
• 6:02
  even further away from the stage as it explodes.
• 6:06
  Who's on fire now, bitch? And then I'd like to use my
• 6:09
  movement to roll on the ground and put the flames out.
• 6:13
  What do you want me to roll for that?
• 6:15
  No, no, no, that's that's fine. You now can't do anything else.
• 6:18
  OK, but the Flames are off though, right?
• 6:20
  Yep, and you receive because you were on fire. 9 damage.
• 6:25
  Damn, because your armor is abladed by one and you smell
• 6:29
  like something that was just on fire.
• 6:31
  I just made this suit. Your lovely suit is now singed
• 6:34
  in the front because of the way the fire burned is now a
• 6:37
  different color than the back, so it's no longer formal wear.
• 6:44
  Took me like an hour to make. Vendel is going to use their
• 6:47
  power leg to jump onto the stage and come swinging down with
• 6:52
  their excess glass sword on top of Jessica Night.
• 6:57
  I don't care how fast you are, I'm going to fuck you.
• 6:59
  Up Vendel jumps into the air, cascading as they pull out their
• 7:04
  sword midair doing a flip and landing on the ground.
• 7:10
  Do a flooding. Missing.
• 7:11
  Missing Mr. Carrigan's now across the room.
• 7:15
  For whatever reason, the doors have locked to the outside so
• 7:18
  the guards outside can't get in. You know, this is one of those
• 7:22
  moments where you realize that Jessica's a net runner.
• 7:26
  She's locked down this room. So it's just all of you in here.
• 7:30
  There is no cavalry. Jessica looks down at Vendel
• 7:32
  with their sword slashed through this carpet.
• 7:35
  I'm not locked in here with you. You're locked in here with me,
• 7:38
  baby. Well, it's a good thing this
• 7:41
  sword has a rate of fire of two because I'm on the ground ready
• 7:44
  to slice your ankles. What?
• 7:46
  What? What?
• 7:47
  They said I rolled a crit. Wow.
• 7:52
  OK, so Jessica rolled A-24 on evasion.
• 7:56
  As they shift through the air, you see the green flash as they
• 8:00
  try to avoid this sword. The thing is, Vendel rolled a
• 8:04
  28. So in the middle of this green
• 8:07
  splash, you see it's stutter as a sword slashes through the
• 8:10
  front of her bodice and armor, and one of the the leather
• 8:14
  straps flies off and a spray of blood cascades across the other
• 8:18
  direction, causing 13 damage and she staggers backwards.
• 8:25
  That was cool. I I sliced when they were going
• 8:28
  to be, not where they were. Thumbs You're amazing.
• 8:31
  Vandal. Keep going.
• 8:33
  Thank you. Bendel stands there on the stage
• 8:37
  with this this aura of awesomeness as they rolled a
• 8:39
  crit. Should I stay on the stage?
• 8:41
  Or should I? I don't know that you have very
• 8:43
  much movement left. You can try and roll off if you
• 8:45
  can. Oh, that's right.
• 8:47
  I did like a jump and things I'm going to hide behind this dead
• 8:50
  body. It's not going to do much.
• 8:53
  No. Hunter stands up and she pulls
• 8:55
  out a Sanru Hello Cutie Ultra K8 Assault Pistol.
• 9:01
  Get it? Get it?
• 9:03
  And she points it at Jessica. This is all your fault.
• 9:06
  But now, unless I help you, I'm gonna go to fucking jail and
• 9:10
  die. She turns and points the gun at
• 9:13
  Vendel and pulls the trigger dodge.
• 9:15
  Vendel dies. 1717 Does Vendel have a reflex of eight or
• 9:19
  higher? Yes, they do.
• 9:21
  No 15 not enough. They get hit with some basic
• 9:25
  ammo going to be honest, it's just a basic bullet and it
• 9:28
  causes that's three D6 damage at 13.
• 9:33
  Fuck. She then turns around and points
• 9:36
  it at Retro on the ground, fires the other bullet.
• 9:41
  So just to be clear, Hunter is like a a bona fide podcaster.
• 9:47
  Right, yes. Yes.
• 9:49
  I can't imagine that they're like.
• 9:51
  Very strong and or combat capable this is.
• 9:56
  Declaring and pops up above a box at the back of the room.
• 9:59
  It is not wise to underestimate people based on the thing that
• 10:03
  they do. For instance, you are a cowboy,
• 10:05
  but it seems you might be badass.
• 10:07
  And those things are extremely comparable.
• 10:11
  Well, it's difficult. Do not judge book via its cover.
• 10:14
  Do I look like a cat person? Yeah.
• 10:16
  I mean, I look over at whoever's closest to me.
• 10:18
  I guess Iona. It does kind of seem like a cat
• 10:20
  person, though darling, he does seem like a cat person.
• 10:24
  Retro, you don't have a reflex of overrate, do.
• 10:27
  You I do not. Okay.
• 10:29
  Well, one of the benefits of this moment is Hunter only.
• 10:34
  Managed to roll a 13, which is not enough to hit you at that
• 10:37
  distance that you'd require a 15 because you're about 7 yards or
• 10:41
  more away. But a bullet does fly past you
• 10:44
  as you look at this media. Standing in front of the
• 10:47
  collector as she is missed. She thought that was going to be
• 10:50
  a lot more useful and she considers herself for a moment.
• 10:54
  Jumps behind a row and then grabs the collector and puts a
• 10:57
  gun to his head. Your friend, right?
• 11:02
  Get off me. Fuck him up.
• 11:03
  See, what I was going to say is that I thought that maybe we
• 11:08
  could just take Hunter down, you know, tackle them to the ground
• 11:13
  and, like, restrain them and not have to kill them.
• 11:16
  But now look what you done, Hunter.
• 11:18
  Now we're going to have to fucking kill you.
• 11:20
  This is ain't on nobody but yourself.
• 11:23
  VV is going to. Look.
• 11:27
  To Hunter Look, put the collector down.
• 11:31
  And we can figure this out. There's no answer me NCPD will
• 11:36
  actually give a shit about this because there are rich people
• 11:38
  involved. The collectors did nothing.
• 11:40
  If you want to shoot, shoot me. Shoot Retro.
• 11:45
  Shoot out. Don't shoot me.
• 11:48
  Don't shoot me. But he's innocent.
• 11:52
  Yes. No, I'm innocent.
• 11:54
  I'm just here for the lols. And I'm going to make my way
• 11:57
  toward retro. To.
• 12:01
  Ears hinged, so that would be nice.
• 12:03
  Try to help them a. Bottle of liquor.
• 12:05
  Yes, and I grab a couple of things at the bar.
• 12:08
  I grab like a large tarp that I can use to douse some of the
• 12:10
  flames if they're still there, and then some liquid to pour.
• 12:15
  Is alcohol fun? I don't even know it's alcohol
• 12:18
  is very I'll bring. Alcohol grabbed 2 bottles of
• 12:23
  water. Yeah, from behind the bar.
• 12:25
  Now because you did this very quickly, I'm going to have to
• 12:28
  ask you to roll for that because you know what looks like water?
• 12:32
  Vodka. So we're going to work out if
• 12:34
  you grabbed vodka. Or water.
• 12:36
  Yep. Yep, Yep, please.
• 12:37
  Let it be vodka. Classically, at a bar, the
• 12:40
  containers that hold them look very similar.
• 12:42
  You forget that the person working behind the bar the
• 12:44
  entire evening is not actually a bar person, so everything could
• 12:47
  have been put back in the wrong place.
• 12:49
  Yeah. Luckily before VB jumped over
• 12:52
  the bar to head over to Retro. Smart enough to smell the liquid
• 12:57
  rolling is 17. You've got water.
• 12:59
  The fast Buffalo was really not too strong.
• 13:03
  Very strong. Oh, that'll sit.
• 13:04
  So you head over to retro and you douse out the last few
• 13:07
  flames for a free action. Because that's nice.
• 13:10
  I liked. That okay you all right, Retro.
• 13:12
  Yeah, let me get a sip of that. It's water.
• 13:20
  OK, And I pull out my Sanru. Hello Cutie.
• 13:24
  And I pointed between the OK, well, the clerk is being held
• 13:31
  hostage, so I don't want to do anything.
• 13:32
  I'm just going to point it at Jessica.
• 13:34
  Look, stand down. Oh baby, you think I listened to
• 13:37
  my doctor? Clearly not.
• 13:40
  You have a San Devastin. Those things are deadly and
• 13:43
  dangerous. Oh God.
• 13:47
  Man. I finally get a cool weapon and
• 13:49
  I roll like shit. It's got a rate of fire up too,
• 13:51
  so your first bullet fires off and skids past her, sticking in
• 13:55
  the wall on the other side. Did you just roll two 10s in a
• 13:57
  row? I did just roll two 10s in a
• 13:59
  row, God damn it. God damn it.
• 14:05
  Maybe maybe we should get you some training chips cuz.
• 14:08
  Well you should put some experience at handgun not.
• 14:11
  I'm not. I'm not.
• 14:11
  I'm not being the GM to tell you.
• 14:13
  I'm not doing this as like a like a any audience.
• 14:16
  When you're building your character, handgun is important.
• 14:19
  If you have a gun and you know your hand anyway, great job.
• 14:23
  In this moment of both of the bullets flying, however much you
• 14:27
  miss, it still feels. Way better in your house.
• 14:30
  It does. Your old medium pistol had this,
• 14:33
  like, clicky thing about it. Whenever you moved it, it had
• 14:36
  some paint chips on it. And of course, when it finally
• 14:39
  died, it kind of. But this thing feels like it was
• 14:42
  handmade by a Rolls Royce engineer from like 1984, back
• 14:47
  when they gave a shit about that kind of stuff.
• 14:49
  It feels great and as you. Put it in your hand.
• 14:52
  You start to feel it like shift slightly in your hand weight and
• 14:56
  balances inside the handle because you paid so much for it.
• 14:59
  The gun's still getting used to you, but you feel some servos
• 15:02
  move and some weights move, like on really expensive PC mice, and
• 15:05
  now it's a little easier to handle.
• 15:07
  Do you do anything else, Phoebe? I'll stay there.
• 15:10
  I'm gonna just yeah, I assisted Retro.
• 15:12
  I tried to shoot and that's about it for me.
• 15:14
  I know you're behind the bar. Iona is buying the bar.
• 15:17
  I'm also gonna pull out my Sanru Hello cutie and then realize
• 15:21
  that I'm not comfortable using it because I just heard the
• 15:24
  sounds that Vv's made. I have to get used to that.
• 15:28
  So I pull out my regular heavy pistol.
• 15:30
  My plus 8 heavy pistol. And as I do so, I grab the
• 15:34
  original bottle that Vivi smelled and I throw it at Hunter
• 15:40
  and I shoot it so that it splashes all over her.
• 15:44
  I love it. And the collector.
• 15:47
  Whoop seeds. Because she is holding the
• 15:51
  Collector currently. Oops, I did my best sometimes
• 15:55
  I've. Got a few eggs, I'm going to to
• 16:01
  throw the thing. So you're trying to cover Hunter
• 16:05
  in alcohol, correct? Because I do have.
• 16:09
  Oh, who's got the incendiary? Is that the hello cutie?
• 16:13
  I do. I do have flame gun here.
• 16:15
  All right, I'm going to throw the bottle.
• 16:17
  Throw the bottle. It's OK.
• 16:19
  I'll go in and I'll, I'll try to grab the collector and get them
• 16:23
  out of there. We'll do a stop, drop and roll
• 16:26
  with a hug involved. Stop, tackle and roll that.
• 16:30
  That one's better. Put that one in.
• 16:31
  Cut the other one. I don't have very much in melee
• 16:36
  weapon, but I'm going to use it. What the fuck?
• 16:42
  That's a. 20 on the Hunter You know what Hunter doesn't have a
• 16:46
  Reflex of Eight. They have a Reflex of seven.
• 16:48
  So they can't dodge this. As you've projectile to this
• 16:51
  object across the room, it flies and they're facing the other
• 16:55
  way. And it smacks them on the back
• 16:57
  of the head, smashing and covering their whole back in
• 17:00
  alcohol. And you see them shiver as the
• 17:03
  alcohol hits the air and makes the whole of their back of their
• 17:07
  neck cold. This causes her to let go of the
• 17:10
  collector. The collector does the thing
• 17:13
  from Miss Congeniality. Oh, Solar Plex is instep nose
• 17:16
  groin sing. Yes, I saw that in one of my
• 17:20
  favorite movies. He manages to get away.
• 17:26
  Moving over to a different stand, Hunter is now on their
• 17:28
  own, now covered in alcohol. It didn't cause them much
• 17:31
  damage, but she turns around to look at Iona and Iona pulls out
• 17:35
  a flame gun. Cuz you hit.
• 17:36
  That's fifteen. I pull out the flame gun that
• 17:39
  looks like I've loaded a flare into it, and as a hunter turns
• 17:43
  to me. Light up, bitch, and I shoot the
• 17:45
  flame gun. Please excuse my French, but
• 17:48
  this bitch lights up. Is set on fire.
• 17:51
  So now Hunter's been fully set alike, causing 7 damage.
• 17:55
  She's not happy about that. She's on fire.
• 18:03
  She's. So hard how?
• 18:07
  Many versions of songs can you sing about being on fire.
• 18:11
  Shook somebody called that one one I am gardening on the dance
• 18:17
  floor. As a reaction, she tries to move
• 18:21
  around or as hiding under one of the chairs in the room.
• 18:24
  And in this moment you hear like a banging on the wall.
• 18:28
  You realize that rain's not in the room, and it seems like
• 18:31
  she's banging on the wall to try and get out of the room where
• 18:34
  you had all of your clues, etcetera.
• 18:37
  They walked in there during this presentation and now has been
• 18:40
  locked in by Jessica's hacking of these doors, meaning that
• 18:43
  however strong rain may be, she can't help you with this fight,
• 18:47
  which is frustrating. But because Iona's now set
• 18:51
  Hunter on fire, freed the Collector, and now it's Jeb's
• 18:55
  turn. So yeah, the Collector is not on
• 18:59
  fire. The Collector got away from
• 19:01
  Hunter before I set Hunter on fire.
• 19:03
  OK, great. Then I guess I won't have to
• 19:05
  stop, tackle and roll. Well.
• 19:08
  Look at the airs, Hunter. And Jeb pops up from behind one
• 19:11
  of the chairs that he was hiding behind.
• 19:13
  So the thing was, I was gonna let you go.
• 19:16
  I was gonna try to convince. For the rest of these fools to
• 19:19
  you know, just take it easy on you're nothing but a bona fide
• 19:24
  podcast. Those those people that have
• 19:27
  podcasts, they they just do it for the attention.
• 19:30
  We know they don't really got any other skills.
• 19:32
  You. Definitely have the face for it.
• 19:34
  And so I was going to let you go, but now you took this
• 19:37
  innocent man hostage. We've been we've been trying to
• 19:40
  tell you that he was an innocent man.
• 19:42
  I'm going to shoot one of us instead.
• 19:44
  I'm also on fire. Yeah, so listen through the
• 19:49
  blazing flames around your ears. Listen close through the Yes.
• 19:54
  I guess they're burning up the charts now.
• 19:57
  Hey, oh. Wow you.
• 20:02
  Get still. In. 18 and 19 -, 1.
• 20:06
  Still in 18. Still in 18.
• 20:09
  So what happened with It's a Crip fail.
• 20:12
  So instead of using one bullet, it ends up using two, wasting
• 20:16
  some of your ammo. The other bullet flies off to
• 20:18
  the side sticking in the wall, but you do hit her.
• 20:21
  So for this crip fail, it wastes an ammo.
• 20:24
  It has gently double fires. Oh, Yep.
• 20:27
  I see what happened that that last, that last bullet there,
• 20:32
  the firing pin wasn't quite in there.
• 20:34
  Yeah, that's on. I'll give it a clean afterwards.
• 20:36
  Boy, you're happy, Hunter. How's that feel?
• 20:38
  I'm on fire and you just shot me.
• 20:40
  Yeah, you want to rethink your life choices.
• 20:43
  Maybe a podcast wasn't you're the best idea.
• 20:46
  I can't have a podcast. I have a show on the garden.
• 20:48
  And potato, potato. What do you do with your other
• 20:50
  show? Oh.
• 20:50
  OK. Oh, you did the flip flop, so
• 20:55
  you roll a 25 hitting hunter as they're on fire.
• 20:59
  But this time it doesn't seem to do a lot of damage.
• 21:01
  You just see a piece of their flaming armor fly off.
• 21:04
  No. Well, alright, who's next?
• 21:07
  27 damage to all that. You roll badly there.
• 21:09
  Yeah, I did not great. Not great.
• 21:12
  Jessica straightens up. Well, baby.
• 21:15
  And she dashes across the room, headed for retro and VB.
• 21:21
  Shit. She jumps onto the wall, down to
• 21:24
  the ground and tries to hit Retro with her cane.
• 21:28
  Question. Hit me.
• 21:30
  Do I still have the ability to use a bonus action?
• 21:33
  I would say normally yes, but Jessica rolled A crit 28 so
• 21:37
  normally yes, but in this time no and you are smacked with this
• 21:40
  cane unless you can dodge A28. It is a melee attack.
• 21:44
  So I was gonna have my popup shield shoot out of my arm.
• 21:47
  Oh no, you can't do that here, not with the.
• 21:49
  If it was a regular hit, I would let you, but because of the crit
• 21:52
  now. OK, I need to dodge.
• 21:55
  After beat 28. Yeah, OK.
• 22:00
  Easy. It's easy.
• 22:03
  Yeah, it's totally. Easy 15.
• 22:05
  Not enough, my friend. And she causes 9 damage to you.
• 22:09
  Probably only a blade in your armour at this point, but still,
• 22:12
  it's enough of a distraction as she pulls.
• 22:15
  Her gun out, flaming tips still giving up a little bit of fire
• 22:19
  and. She shoots you.
• 22:21
  B 19 Oh my God. She shoots me.
• 22:23
  I can't. I can't dodge that.
• 22:24
  I don't have reflux for that. Oh yeah, that's right.
• 22:26
  She also isn't shooting you, She's shooting VV VV.
• 22:29
  You've been hit with an incendiary bullet of 19, causing
• 22:33
  6 damage, but of course setting you on fire.
• 22:36
  Yeah. Shit, shit, shit.
• 22:38
  Damn it. Good thing I brought.
• 22:42
  It is so good. I I have the twerk that I
• 22:45
  brought from the the bar. You just.
• 22:48
  I'm going to try to douse my douse my flames on my term.
• 22:53
  Jessica smiles at you. Oh, I guess this party is lit
• 22:57
  after all. I think you're hugely a joke,
• 23:00
  man. That's same joke, only half the
• 23:02
  points. Fuck you, cowboy.
• 23:06
  That was a that was an SSX. Tricky.
• 23:09
  Reference for anyone out there keeping track.
• 23:11
  God, I love SSX. Tricky.
• 23:12
  Thank you. Oh shit.
• 23:14
  I'm on fire. Oh shit.
• 23:16
  Bonus action. I would like to go ahead and put
• 23:19
  engage my popup shield from my cyber arm chunk, pull it out,
• 23:24
  slam it down, hopefully landing on Jessica Nut's foot.
• 23:27
  Oh, OK. Cool.
• 23:28
  Oh. Something cuz I'm gonna roll the
• 23:30
  baby so she won't be able to move with that San Devastin.
• 23:35
  I mean without the without the sand.
• 23:36
  Ever. So you think I could walk in
• 23:37
  nails. Heels, honey.
• 23:39
  Be at 20. You're trying to pin someone who
• 23:42
  literally can move faster than you can blink.
• 23:44
  Yeah. It does not work.
• 23:46
  She shifts her foot out the way in a tiny green flash like
• 23:50
  motion and you see her leg leave trails.
• 23:53
  Through. The air.
• 23:54
  It looks really cool. Well, I'm gonna put my back up
• 23:57
  against the popup shield now and peek my head out to see that
• 24:01
  they're still there and. Switch modes to the shotgun and
• 24:06
  I'm gonna take a shot at that knee. 18 You pull out the gun,
• 24:11
  push it over there. You cock your gun, put it over
• 24:14
  the top of this shield you've tried to drop on Jessica's foot
• 24:19
  and pull the trigger again. There's a green flash as she
• 24:23
  goes to try and avoid your shot beating you by literally one.
• 24:29
  You rolled 18, she rolled 19 and the bullet flies past her head.
• 24:34
  As she does in the. Oh baby, you're going to have to
• 24:37
  try harder than that. Fuck.
• 24:39
  In case you haven't realized, I know Kung Fu.
• 24:43
  Bitch. Oh boy, what's the rate of fire
• 24:45
  on that gun? It's 1.
• 24:46
  Oh, well, I guess that's the end of your turn.
• 24:49
  It is, but that leaves Jessica's back wide open to Vendel.
• 24:55
  Let's go, Vendel. Who's going to slide across the
• 24:58
  stage? Again with the Glass Sword.
• 25:02
  God, man, Remember rolling? A lot of crit fails.
• 25:05
  Crits, Crits of all. Kinds, yeah.
• 25:08
  Del's leg gets caught on the carpet as they try to roll and
• 25:12
  they get stuck at a further distance.
• 25:15
  They're going to have to. Shoot from here.
• 25:17
  Shoot from here. Shoot.
• 25:19
  From there, 17. Now Jessica is facing away from
• 25:22
  Vendel, which gives them a -, 1 to be hit, and that's enough.
• 25:27
  She's so distracted by what was happening over with retro
• 25:30
  rolling at 16 -, 1, which is too below what Vendel rolled with
• 25:34
  their heavy pistol. She turns around and gets hit
• 25:37
  square in the middle of the chest by a big ass bullet for 14
• 25:41
  damage. Damn.
• 25:43
  Damn. Damn.
• 25:46
  Damn. And Jessica.
• 25:48
  Jessica Knight goes below half health.
• 25:51
  She goes to move and doesn't move in the right way.
• 25:53
  The bullet hits her middle of a dodge and her leg can hear the
• 25:57
  bone cracking hot and she goes back.
• 26:00
  To it. Hey no Latency listeners, it's
• 26:15
  Spoon. I play Jeb here on No Latency,
• 26:17
  but I also produce the brand new show System Switch, and it's
• 26:20
  called System Switch because every few episodes we take our
• 26:23
  same beloved characters and throw them into a completely new
• 26:27
  universe in the form of a new role-playing game.
• 26:30
  We'll go from steampunk to cyberpunk, from fantasy to
• 26:33
  scifi, from romantic comedy to dark comedy, from D&D to Call of
• 26:37
  Cthulu and everything in between.
• 26:40
  So join us on our romp through the multiverse by searching for.
• 26:43
  Some switch on your favorite podcasting app.
• 26:54
  That's what you get for putting your body through that bitch I.
• 26:57
  Guess I will need this cane after all.
• 26:59
  Bendel will have to deal with the fact that their glass sword
• 27:02
  is now stuck in the stage. So they'll have to remove that
• 27:05
  from the stage before they get to use it again.
• 27:08
  OK. And it's Hunter's turn.
• 27:10
  Hunter and fire. Fire.
• 27:12
  They roll around to get themselves not on fire.
• 27:15
  And they still now, although they can't move, can shoot.
• 27:19
  So Hunter turns around and looks at Jeb, pulls out her Sanru.
• 27:23
  Hello cutie Ultra KA Assault. Kewo, bitch.
• 27:28
  No, wait. Don't.
• 27:30
  Beat a team. 18 Come on latest piece.
• 27:34
  Ooh 23 Nice. Very good.
• 27:38
  Whoa. Oh.
• 27:39
  All right, listen. Everyone's gonna stop shooting.
• 27:42
  Can't we just talk this out? It wasn't too late for that.
• 27:46
  I guess I did also shoot you. Yeah.
• 27:48
  It's too late for that. But because of.
• 27:50
  That putting the fire out on themselves and shooting, that's
• 27:54
  the end of that turn and she can't move and it's VV pulls out
• 27:59
  her Sanru Hello Cutie Ultra K8 pistol and pulls that out, but
• 28:04
  first douses the flames. Bebe takes the tarp and begins
• 28:11
  to pat down on the flames that are on her, her nice jacket.
• 28:15
  Tracy, I've got a deal for you. Oh, no.
• 28:18
  OK. If you want to, because you have
• 28:21
  the tarp prepped and you brought it with you, if you can roll
• 28:25
  over a 16 on something, I'll let you have putting fire out.
• 28:30
  As a free action. All right.
• 28:32
  I will say this is some sort of reflex type I.
• 28:36
  Think you wanna you can roll any?
• 28:38
  Yeah, you can. Justify it with some fantastic
• 28:40
  play Bullshit. I'm OK.
• 28:41
  I'm gonna say this is an invasion as I'm trying.
• 28:44
  That's another and -6. You unfortunately do not get a
• 28:48
  free action, but the fire is put out and you've kind of damaged
• 28:52
  your jacket. Well, that's a start, I suppose.
• 28:54
  Is that my whole turn? Nope, and your armor gets
• 28:56
  ablated by two. OK, and you take 3HP damage.
• 28:59
  How? You were set on fire?
• 29:01
  Yes, fire. Not good.
• 29:03
  Is that your medical opinion? Fire.
• 29:05
  Not good? Yes it is.
• 29:07
  So maybe you could stop? No, no, it's no.
• 29:09
  It's me behind. It's Vendel.
• 29:11
  Hi. Oh, it's trying to be funny in
• 29:12
  battle. So Vendel, you keep going, OK?
• 29:16
  You're doing great. Thanks, baby.
• 29:18
  You, Jessica, need to stop. You got the pot.
• 29:22
  It's over. And then do you shoot them?
• 29:26
  Yes, OK. Yeah, that's right.
• 29:30
  Waste your Crip. Fail on putting the fire out on
• 29:32
  yourself and then roll in 18. That's exactly how that should
• 29:35
  work. All right, so she has -4 to
• 29:37
  move, which she has -4 to this evasion roll because of her
• 29:40
  critical injury. My leg?
• 29:44
  No. Oh no. -4 Jessica rolls a 20 -,
• 29:50
  4 and gets hit square in the. You see?
• 29:53
  Her wince and look at you. Out.
• 29:56
  That causes a lot of damage. 14 damage.
• 29:58
  Vivi. It's the Sandra who?
• 30:00
  Hello cutie, what can I say? I know what you can say.
• 30:04
  Ooh woo. Oh God, say.
• 30:07
  It you all loves to say it. It hurts, no?
• 30:10
  One loves to hear it. Everyone loves to say it.
• 30:14
  It hurts for those those words if even.
• 30:18
  If Vivi, just say it. Ooh woo.
• 30:22
  Great. Great work.
• 30:23
  I cringe. I feel the cringe already.
• 30:28
  It hurts. I take damage psychological.
• 30:30
  Damage. Do you do you mean emotional
• 30:36
  damage? Yes.
• 30:38
  OK, emotional and psychological. Cool.
• 30:40
  I just want to just stay on top of those memes.
• 30:43
  Yes, yes. The memes.
• 30:46
  Yep, that's all. You're not on fire.
• 30:49
  Yep, I'm gonna shoot Jessica. She must.
• 30:54
  Die nice. Yes.
• 30:57
  Fuck. That's.
• 30:58
  Jesus, Iona A. Lot of damage.
• 31:01
  That's a lot of damage. Does she evade that?
• 31:03
  I don't, No, no. It's -4 already rolling.
• 31:08
  A17A body is starting. It's not the Sandovision that is
• 31:12
  the problem at this point. It's her body that isn't able to
• 31:14
  respond to the speed and she gets hit again for 21 damage.
• 31:20
  Iona had a lot of damage. Is that too?
• 31:23
  Jessica. She is profusely bleeding down
• 31:26
  her left side. As you can see, the bullet
• 31:29
  wounds have really, really caused a lot of.
• 31:32
  Damage. She's.
• 31:34
  Not in a great. Are you going to do anything
• 31:36
  else, honey? Are you going to continue to
• 31:38
  ruin my day? I think ruining your day is top
• 31:40
  priority. Great.
• 31:43
  Well listen, we still got 100 Chin out there, presumably
• 31:48
  cowering for their life. And we got Jessica who is seems
• 31:52
  to be taken care of. So Jim's going to walk down the
• 31:56
  aisle between the seats here towards Hunter being awfully
• 32:01
  cool and collected. You might even hear a spur, too
• 32:04
  in the background while he walks.
• 32:06
  Now you won't. You won't.
• 32:07
  When he gets to Hunter, who again I assume is Coward when he
• 32:12
  points the gun at her Hunter. Why?
• 32:16
  Why didn't you just Why didn't you just stay inside?
• 32:20
  Make your podcast. I don't have a podcast.
• 32:25
  Jesus, it's a show. Yeah, whatever.
• 32:29
  Bang. Ooh. 21 but only four damage and
• 32:34
  the bullet grazes past her cheek.
• 32:37
  Oh shit, sorry. No, it's supposed to be a quick
• 32:39
  and painful death thing. Quick and painless.
• 32:41
  I meant. I meant quick and painless.
• 32:44
  Are you trying to? Execute this person.
• 32:46
  Yeah. Yeah, I suppose you did did do
• 32:51
  it. -8 is still beats at 13 doesn't it?
• 32:54
  -8 to 24 year old 24 and that's a lot of damage and so now I
• 32:58
  need you to roll 2D66 and half of her jaw gets blown off.
• 33:04
  Is she still alive? She suggests she's got very
• 33:06
  little help. Oh, shit, I am.
• 33:08
  Listen, listen. This is not what I was hoping.
• 33:10
  For you were you moved for? The last second you you you you
• 33:14
  kind of move your head up and then I blasted the jaw.
• 33:16
  It was. Supposed to be the, the?
• 33:21
  Job. Oh geez, I got a reload.
• 33:22
  It's walking over here. And finish this call.
• 33:25
  This is. This is.
• 33:26
  This is. It is.
• 33:27
  I'm sorry, Jess. There's only one other problem
• 33:29
  with this Is the blood splattered all over you.
• 33:32
  So I need you to roll resist torture drugs.
• 33:34
  Oh Jesus, now it's not the time. So time for a quick make out
• 33:40
  sesh. Body yes.
• 33:43
  You're fine. The DV was 10.
• 33:45
  That was close. You resist the urge to eat the
• 33:48
  piece of jaw that is on the ground that in some lights looks
• 33:52
  like a really lovely prime rhythm well.
• 33:55
  Listen, I'm sorry. This is, this is this is exactly
• 33:58
  the opposite of what I was going for.
• 34:00
  So I I I know this is your near death and you you'll likely
• 34:05
  bleed out soon, but in your last moments, I just wanted to know
• 34:08
  that I was going for a a, you know?
• 34:12
  Quick and painless day. I was trying to put you into
• 34:15
  your misery, but. And while you're distracted
• 34:17
  talking to come to chair, Jessica, Knight pulls out her
• 34:20
  gun from her Neil's position and shoots you from across the room,
• 34:23
  rolling a 23. 8 crit. If you can beat 31, you can
• 34:29
  dodge. This bullet it's possible.
• 34:33
  But let's find out it's. Just pulls the impossible.
• 34:37
  Nope. The bullet hits you for 15
• 34:39
  damage. You use your armor to ablade
• 34:41
  some of that damage. But it hurts, and as the bullet
• 34:49
  pain subsides, you realize that also you're on fire.
• 34:54
  The second shot doesn't hit you in your attempt to get the
• 34:58
  flames to subside from your body.
• 35:01
  You dodged the bullet as she only rolls a 17.
• 35:04
  She needed a 20 to hit you. Oh, it's hot.
• 35:07
  That's that's hot. That's, that's cool.
• 35:08
  That is a hooey hooey. And she tries to move closer to
• 35:13
  the stage, but unfortunately with her now low movement
• 35:16
  ability to fire and dodges fairly quick, but her ability to
• 35:19
  move from where she is is very, very minimal.
• 35:22
  Same versus the last verse. I'm a shoot.
• 35:25
  Justin in the back. Shit 19, causing 18 damage.
• 35:29
  When she turns around, her spine cracks in half and this green
• 35:32
  fluid pours down and she slumps to the ground.
• 35:36
  Dead. Jessica Knight has been
• 35:38
  defeated. Jeb, you're still on fire.
• 35:42
  I don't know. I blew her back.
• 35:44
  Out. Oh, no.
• 35:44
  Oh Jace. But with Jessica Knight, Fallen
• 35:49
  Hunter Chen looks over at Jessica and and puts her hands
• 35:51
  up. She's not on.
• 35:52
  Fire. But Jeb, it's stop, drop and
• 35:54
  roll. She doesn't help Jeb.
• 35:56
  But Jeb, I need you to roll evasion to work out how much
• 36:00
  fire damage. You take 17.
• 36:02
  Yes, that's 1HP damage. Just the one and combat is over.
• 36:07
  Hunter, do you really want to live like this?
• 36:10
  No, I would prefer not to die. That would be nice.
• 36:13
  Also, I'm in a lot of pain now. You sent me on fire.
• 36:16
  I'm just missing part of their jaw.
• 36:18
  I will. I'm also missing half my jaw.
• 36:22
  I'm in a lot of pain. I'll head over and I'll have
• 36:26
  some aid for Hunter. I'll keep them in a little bit
• 36:29
  of pain still, but I'll at least douse the flames.
• 36:33
  Give them a little bit of a painkiller like this will help.
• 36:36
  Stop the bleeding for the gaping hole in their face.
• 36:37
  Stop the bleeding from the gaping hole.
• 36:41
  Here's some gauze. Don't worry, I got you.
• 36:43
  We'll disinfect it first. Yes, yes, yes, yes.
• 36:47
  And just. Effectively ruin their career,
• 36:49
  no? I hit Scars are Cool now.
• 36:51
  That was fun. Well done everyone.
• 36:54
  I'll think about. It.
• 36:56
  Maybe now they can replace their jaw with some sort of cybernetic
• 37:01
  thing and it also it has a built in microphone.
• 37:05
  So I mean just think of the audio quality you've.
• 37:07
  Done. You've done them a favor.
• 37:08
  Also, I have very little sympathy because they put a gun
• 37:10
  to my head. That's right, I did them a
• 37:12
  flavor. I did not put them through a
• 37:16
  physical. To me in my ear.
• 37:17
  And I found that very, very disconcerting, Right.
• 37:20
  Well done everyone. Just well done I am.
• 37:24
  Very grateful for your work. It is a shame that the only solo
• 37:28
  from the group was locked inside room during a battle.
• 37:32
  It seems Jessica had some abilities now you excellent
• 37:36
  friends. I am so grateful we did not have
• 37:39
  to bring the NCPD into the building.
• 37:41
  We couldn't have if we wanted to.
• 37:44
  No, I can. I could unlock the building,
• 37:46
  they could have blown through walls and doors, but I prefer to
• 37:49
  not involve them since they are of the shitty.
• 37:51
  You know, I mean, I kind of thought that you.
• 37:54
  Paid them but. Yeah, NCPD, you think I am doing
• 37:57
  of the paying of the NCPD? Well, I thought, you know, you
• 38:00
  give them a little something and they like to be alone.
• 38:02
  No, no, no. I do not know.
• 38:04
  I have lots of money. They leave me alone.
• 38:06
  I have my own security. I do not give them extra work.
• 38:09
  Oh, I thought you would have employed part of the city then.
• 38:12
  No, I pay taxes for building, you know.
• 38:15
  You pay taxes. Everybody pays some rent to
• 38:18
  someone. Oh.
• 38:19
  But wow, they're the billionaires.
• 38:22
  They're just like us. I need you all to come with me
• 38:26
  now that we have solved the situation.
• 38:28
  My guards will deal with the bodies.
• 38:31
  Hunter, we will get you an ambulance, but I'm not going to
• 38:33
  unlock the building just yet. Wait, I want to roll Jessica
• 38:36
  Knight's body first before we? Have you did you Doctor?
• 38:42
  Is is the Hunter? Is is this because you know you
• 38:46
  snuck into my building? Hunter.
• 38:48
  Are they stable? They'll be alright, yes.
• 38:52
  OK, good. Yes, please roll.
• 38:55
  Oh, right. I need to make sure they'll be
• 38:58
  all. Right, because again, this is
• 39:00
  role-playing game. Yes, of course.
• 39:02
  We roll, we roll nice. I'll have you know that.
• 39:05
  They blasted their own jaw off. They actually, actually, I
• 39:08
  helped him. I did that, but it was I.
• 39:11
  Was in corner watching whole fight.
• 39:12
  Very impressive. You know, as a fixer here in
• 39:14
  Night City, I am very high level you.
• 39:17
  Know, I would imagine. After seeing you fight in front
• 39:20
  of my own two eyes, I. I I say that you know Night City
• 39:24
  should not fuck with you you know.
• 39:26
  So we're going to I like you know, we're going to work
• 39:30
  together I think. But also it is vital that we
• 39:34
  don't. And he looks at Iona.
• 39:36
  Sleep on this. So if you all could come
• 39:39
  upstairs to my office, I would appreciate it.
• 39:45
  Are we in trouble? No, we're not in trouble.
• 39:48
  No, no, that is we're. Not in trouble.
• 39:50
  He says as he closes the door. That is the problem I am.
• 39:54
  Oh yeah, we can help you out no problem.
• 39:56
  What do you need? You saved cat.
• 39:59
  I am very grateful. Thank you.
• 40:01
  Some of you may not remember. I do not think you were there,
• 40:04
  Doctor, but the cat was saved and I am greatly of the
• 40:09
  appreciation I need you to be. I can't tell you right now, but
• 40:15
  when we unlock the building, I need you to how you say catch my
• 40:19
  drift? When we get to something.
• 40:23
  And he looks out the window, making eye contact with someone
• 40:26
  in the crowd outside that has gathered as the news got out
• 40:29
  that there was a big fight at the night market.
• 40:32
  Whatever drift you're throwing, I'll catch you.
• 40:34
  I got you. I understand that you are after
• 40:37
  the interesting construction projects that have been
• 40:40
  happening around tonight. City, correct?
• 40:43
  Right. Well, your first task is of
• 40:45
  course to get a boat. I'll send you more information
• 40:48
  once you have acquired some way to get out to the ocean.
• 40:52
  A boat. All right.
• 40:54
  Looks like. Do we have a name for our crew?
• 40:57
  It's been like 2 years, maybe even 3.
• 40:59
  On the on the screen sheets whenever you are mentioned, you
• 41:02
  are mentioned as the no latency crew.
• 41:05
  Yeah, well. In that case, looks like no
• 41:08
  latency crew is getting. But no.
• 41:12
  Wait, wait, hold on. I was gonna say aquatic, and
• 41:14
  that's not the right term. Not a cold.
• 41:17
  Not a cold. There it is.
• 41:19
  Is he always this Tim? Yes.
• 41:21
  Yes, right, good. Yeah, no, he's always this Tim.
• 41:25
  Again. But it's slack, I think.
• 41:27
  Endearing. So there are a few other items I
• 41:31
  was going to put on sale, but I don't know who would need
• 41:34
  cybertech teeth. That's me.
• 41:37
  Oh, would you? I mean, I can.
• 41:39
  I can get the the product is worth a lot of money.
• 41:41
  It's like 4000 Eddies. But after, you know, dealing
• 41:44
  with the Jessica and the hacking and saving of my life, I suppose
• 41:48
  I can give you said object for free.
• 41:50
  They are like fangs. You can buy more, but these are
• 41:53
  fangs. You may bite what and stuff
• 41:56
  with. All the new teeth you need to
• 41:58
  get installed? Do you have dentist?
• 42:01
  Well, I got someone who I think can do the job.
• 42:03
  They also have RGB, so you can have fun with that.
• 42:06
  Oh yeah. And he hands you this little
• 42:09
  case with four canines that are Cybertek that you could install
• 42:14
  into your mouth so that you can really fuel some of your bite.
• 42:22
  No latency pun and I suppose for each of you here is 2000 eddies
• 42:27
  for dealing with the problem. Gotta pay off some of my I own a
• 42:31
  debt. I am in very rich.
• 42:33
  So as long as you, you save me and Night City, we will stay in
• 42:38
  the business, you know? What I look?
• 42:40
  Forward to, especially if you got more teeth.
• 42:42
  And you seem to know a lot about the game.
• 42:44
  I am completely sure, I'm completely sure, that you are
• 42:48
  who you say you are. And unfortunately, everyone.
• 42:50
  That's the problem. And it's kind of a weird thing
• 42:53
  to say. No one else kind of.
• 42:55
  He peels out a little remote and the shutters on the building
• 42:59
  undo. There's a announcement over the
• 43:02
  speaker system that says lockdown has been released and
• 43:06
  you hear the various people who are stuck in the building and
• 43:08
  this all locked down move. Would any of you like a drink
• 43:11
  before you leave? Yes.
• 43:16
  He heads over to the corner of the room and starts pouring a
• 43:19
  glass. And then there's a knock on the
• 43:22
  door and the door opens and he looks at you.
• 43:25
  Iona. Hello everyone.
• 43:27
  Yes, my assistant is here. Everyone and.
• 43:30
  His face goes cold as he looks at you.
• 43:32
  Iona, this is my assistant, Claire Jones.
• 43:47
  Next time on no latency. Hey, I don't know.
• 43:55
  Who's Claire Jones again? Last time we saw Claire, she was
• 43:59
  in our bar. She was little.
• 44:01
  Yes. Hi Claire.
• 44:03
  How are you? You have an eyelash near your
• 44:05
  eye. Just let me get that real quick.
• 44:06
  Claire seems off. Very off.
• 44:09
  Well, it might be dangerous to confront them head on until we
• 44:13
  know what they want. Remember that bioskin we were
• 44:16
  supposed to get, but we didn't get?
• 44:18
  Mr. Ki, feel like there's something we should tell you.
• 44:22
  Now where is the body frame? Where can we find it?
• 44:25
  I would like to check on Claire. Just wanted to see how you were
• 44:28
  doing. What?
• 44:30
  What? What's in the box?
• 44:33
  You're right, it's not for me. Oh, thank God, I thought I was
• 44:35
  ahead Do. You think that that's something
• 44:37
  you could handle retro well? We look forward to it.
• 44:40
  We love going on jobs and. Missions and search.
• 44:44
  So we did space, and now we have to do it underwater.
