S2E38 - Who Killed Gabriel Steele? · No Latency

0:02
Last time on no latency. I don't know if you know this,
0:06
but I'm kind of a big deal. I wonder if the auction secret
0:10
or if the weapon that is being auctioned is secret.
0:13
Maybe it's both? All right.
0:14
Is this what you're wearing? This is my own brand.
0:17
A separate thing. I'm gonna be shopping for
0:19
clients. Now here's the thing.
0:21
Do we take them the right way or the wrong way?
0:23
How much do we like Mr. Carrick? You take offense.
0:26
It hurt me just to say it. Yeah, yeah, Limo SHM, limo all.
0:29
Right. I'm ordering the limos.
0:31
Memo, I'm gonna slip them business card.
0:33
What's the payment options on this Sloan?
0:35
One year and then it's 25% collector in an.
0:38
Event of a lockdown, there'd be no ins or outs.
0:42
Auction time the. Fuck.
0:44
The head came clean off. Roll on the ground for a little
0:46
bit there. That's a really wordy way to
0:48
describe what just happened. The fuck.
1:01
Holy shit. Crushed.
1:05
Holy I. Suppose this is when the
1:07
lockdown happens. And then the lockdown happens.
1:11
There's a big old siren. All the windows get covered with
1:17
metal. Well, this is very of the
1:20
annoying. I just got blood out of this
1:23
carpet. It's a good thing it's red.
1:28
Yes, by design. Does his memory.
1:32
Keeps on replaying over and over in my head.
1:34
I think I'm going to close that, James.
1:41
I immediately go over to the body, I assume, confirming that
1:49
he is in fact dead. By checking.
1:52
Doctor, it doesn't take a brain session to see that his head is
1:56
no longer attached to his body. I'm just think he is dead.
1:59
Double checking. Sometimes here in the dark,
2:01
future people have some sort of things that can keep them alive
2:04
even without a severed head. And I just.
2:07
You know, that's true. I'm pretty sure that we had to
2:10
deal with a with like some head like robot type thing, right?
2:17
We have. We've dealt with a lot of weird.
2:19
Stuff. So just checking Okay and I'm
2:23
going to look at the at the severed head and see if I can
2:30
determine how this might have happened.
2:32
Does it look like a blade? Like an invisible blade?
2:36
Some sort of kill switch? Like whatever I can discover, I
2:39
suppose. You think someone had their kill
2:45
switch engaged? Well, I mean, we should probably
2:48
wait for the prognosis, yeah. 19 The sever happened at his chip
2:56
ports in his neck. Oh, somebody is an explosive
3:03
residue and you rolled a 19, so you know that there were there
3:10
was one chip that both chip slots were full and now they are
3:15
empty. OK, do I see, looking around
3:19
where the carnage is? I don't happen to see any
3:22
remnants of any chip anywhere by chance.
3:25
Role perception. Oof.
3:28
No, you do not find it. All right, with that, I just go
3:36
back to the group. Well, he something happened with
3:43
his. Head.
3:46
Yeah. It's gone.
3:49
Yeah. No, no, it's over there.
3:52
Yeah, more like they lost their. It was right.
3:56
The sever is right at where his two chip slots are.
4:01
Looks like it was the explosion of sorts.
4:03
Something. Whatever chips he had implanted
4:06
might have exploded. They're gone now, whatever they
4:10
were. And that's what set his head
4:13
off. Guys.
4:15
Vandel huddles you all together. Is everything OK?
4:20
Vandel is ridiculously excited. Very excited.
4:23
Excited at the scene of a murder?
4:24
Yes. Vivy Dr. Vivian.
4:28
Yes. It's a murder mystery.
4:30
Oh, there seems to be a dark. It's not like a a murder mystery
4:37
party. It's an actual murder.
4:40
Oh, you see, yes. Who's.
4:42
Are you over there, Detective and Doctor?
4:45
I was going to say, who's the detective?
4:49
I'm just a Watson. Detective Vendel.
4:52
I'm just a Watson. I don't know.
4:54
Who's the Fem Fatale? Who's the?
4:57
Well, obviously I'm the fem fatale.
5:00
Who's the sidekick Who? We'll have to pick our roles?
5:05
I'm the Doctor. Yes.
5:06
Well, do I do the detective thing, or does someone else want
5:10
to do it? It feels weird.
5:11
If the GM does it. Wait.
5:13
What? What do you mean to take
5:14
everything? Asking questions.
5:16
Do you know what mystery shows, Jeb?
5:18
No. Are you inquisitive?
5:20
Do you have a keen eye? Then perhaps you can be I.
5:25
Don't think it's Jeb. He's really distracting.
5:28
Does that mean it's, I think Jeb thought you were saying, quinoa.
5:33
But does that mean that it's? It's you, Iona.
5:36
Oh, no. No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no,
5:40
no. I take the lead on many of
5:41
things, but I will say murder mysteries are not my Forte.
5:46
Putting glues together. I'm not really as big picture
5:50
kind of person. I've played.
5:52
I've played 221B Baker Street, the board game.
5:57
Yes, yes, it's it's hard. For me.
6:02
Well, I think the person who invented this has a really
6:04
childish mind, so it's probably pretty easy.
6:08
Well, I can't be the Doctor and the detective well.
6:11
Why do we name someone whose role is to be?
6:15
Because it's gotta. Be like the show, Jeb, I dressed
6:17
up. I straightened up.
6:21
My. I straightened up my blazer.
6:24
I put my hand on my side for. It it's going to be fun, right?
6:27
We're going to have fun, Jeb. We're having.
6:29
Fun. You actually look really nice.
6:30
I didn't think it were going to work.
6:32
Thank you. I'm pretty proud of it.
6:34
Yeah, no, it's pretty good. Sorry, you were saying, Iona.
6:37
I'm the detective oh. You're the detective, alright?
6:41
Do you have you met any of these people before?
6:44
Just one. Oh, the collector.
6:46
The collector you wouldn't have to fly.
6:48
So I as per the market policy. Nobody is out of.
6:54
Our our suspect list. Thank you very much.
6:57
Now you're already on the case, great.
6:59
If you fix it, I will give you deal.
7:01
Also, Iona, after we've solved this problem, you and I should
7:05
probably talk. And I agree.
7:09
You have full permission. The guards will only let people
7:12
out who you want to leave. No one will be able to leave the
7:18
building until the problem is dealt with.
7:22
Anyone else who was in the building, I will.
7:24
Push into the restaurant upstairs.
7:26
They would not bother you. You can look around if you like.
7:30
If you need to go into my my private area, please, please ask
7:33
one of the guards nicely. They have to secure the the cat.
7:36
Thank you. And he leaves the room well.
7:41
Should we start questioning? I suppose, yeah, we should.
7:46
Probably get some sort of, I was going to say Adam as list of
7:51
questions so we can keep everyone.
7:53
You know, asking ask the same questions to everybody.
7:55
Is that a good? Idea we could probably remember,
7:59
Let's rule out the collector first.
8:02
Are we sure? No, just.
8:04
You have to rule out somebody first I.
8:05
Mean. He's got a cane, so if we're
8:08
going to rule. A lot of people have cane.
8:10
So does obviously Gabriel Steele can't do anything?
8:14
So they. All had names on them.
8:16
Oh, Jessica Knight also has a cane, so you can't rule out
8:21
anybody with a cane. It's true.
8:24
I'm just saying everybody should be questioned, even those we
8:27
think may be innocent. And we're questioning the
8:31
collector. I'm going to go and find
8:33
something for us to organize, like a cork board or something
8:36
and I'll be back. You love Cork boards.
8:41
Well, there's a virtual one that they were selling.
8:43
There might be one over here. I'm going to go in this back
8:45
room. Someone should go with you or
8:47
someone go with Mendel so that Mendel isn't murdered.
8:50
Oh, Oh, yes. I'll go.
8:52
Thanks, Jeb. Yeah, no problem.
8:53
I'm with you. I think we're the best looking
8:57
crew out of two out of all of us.
8:58
So you. Know.
9:00
Yeah, No, we look fucking boss. I thought I was, you know, good
9:03
looking people stick together. And then Dale in this side room
9:07
of the auction house sets up a little investigation area with a
9:11
cork board and then a bunch of these digital picture frames
9:15
that look like polar roads that can stick on the wall.
9:20
With a red twine. Yeah, I've got red twine here.
9:23
But that's what we'll we'll. Connect things when we have
9:25
things. All right, Okay.
9:28
So do we want to Are we going to send people to interview people
9:32
differently, separately? I don't know.
9:36
I suppose they're probably talking about it in the other
9:37
room, right? I.
9:39
Would assume so. Yeah.
9:41
So I think we need to split people and interview them one by
9:46
one. We think that's a good idea,
9:49
like taking to a. Private room and do the
9:53
questioning and then. Should we do that together as a
9:56
group or? I think so, because we might be
10:00
able to, one of us might be able to pick up on things that the
10:03
other one didn't. We could always listen in on our
10:06
radio. Yeah, I do forget about those
10:10
things quite often, but they're pretty nice.
10:13
I'm open to. Whatever.
10:16
What room do we think? I mean, we could go to the room
10:19
that Vendel and Shep just went in.
10:21
That could be our little our little interview interrogation
10:25
room. Sure, absolutely Okay.
10:28
Could we not just go to security?
10:31
Security also probably has an interrogation room.
10:34
They also might have cameras and things that would be helpful for
10:38
us to review. So we should do that by this
10:40
time. Rominguez has taken some scrap
10:44
and has made a very long cigarette holder now and is now
10:47
using a cigarette holder to smoke out of very much going
10:50
into the femme fatale. What's that?
10:54
Roll for it. That's amazing.
10:56
Lean up against the the stage very sexily as they do very much
11:05
noir style. Roll for it.
11:08
I know. I'm looking for something to
11:09
roll for it. Meanwhile, as a as another
11:14
gander around the room, somebody rolled Perception acting 15.
11:18
Yes, Remy, you are pulling off quite the aura of
11:22
sophistication. And you look at Victor Solace
11:26
across the room and he smokes a cigarette and looks at you,
11:31
blowing it into the air and then rolling his eyes at the dead
11:33
body. And you can see on his body
11:35
language a disdain for having to be here.
11:39
And they're rich. Now remember, every murder needs
11:44
mean and motive and opportunity. Yes, you're right.
11:54
Thank you. So.
12:00
Perception 13 -, 6 which is 7. So you notice that there is a
12:09
person working at the bar at the back of the room, but you don't
12:13
really notice what they look like.
12:15
You'd have to go over and like talk to them to see what they
12:17
look like. I think I'm going to walk up to
12:20
go ahead. No, go ahead.
12:23
I'm going to go ahead and walk up to Victor.
12:26
More of like a Saschet, actually, really kind of working
12:29
those hips and sit down next to them.
12:33
Everything OK. Hey.
12:38
Hey. Yeah, I guess.
12:40
I mean, no. I got a lot on my shoe.
12:42
But yeah, I'll take one of the handkerchiefs I have in my
12:47
pocket from my suit and I'll wipe it off.
12:49
There you go. Oh.
12:51
Thanks. You seem very nonplussed about
12:53
this whole thing, though. I make things that kill people.
12:57
So wait a minute. You would.
12:59
He would. I'm active.
13:01
William Norman Jebidi on this point.
13:03
So what do you think it was that killed him?
13:06
Something that decapitates people.
13:08
Maybe a sniper bullet through the window or, I don't know.
13:12
I don't really watch mystery shows.
13:14
I wasn't saying mystery shows. I'm just going off of your
13:16
expertise since we being a merchant to death and all.
13:18
Oh, valid. If it was you, you'd use a
13:23
sniper rifle to shoot a bullet through to cut.
13:25
The hell if I was. If it was me, I would hire
13:27
someone. I don't get my hands dirty.
13:29
I make the gloves that get other people dirty.
13:33
Do you have a weapon that could do that?
13:35
Not on me. I designed one.
13:39
I designed the kill chip. Yeah, you designed the kill
13:41
chip. Yeah, yeah, the prototype.
13:43
What does that kill Chip do exactly?
13:45
I didn't. Even know you put it in a in a
13:48
skill slot, one of the next things interface slot it
13:55
explodes. That is exactly what happened to
13:59
our victim, I whisper quietly. Interesting.
14:04
But the old version would destroy itself.
14:06
The new version has like an explosive canister in it, and
14:09
you can retrieve it, reinstall and get rid of it.
14:12
It's, you know, it leaves no trace.
14:15
You can't have it doesn't take fingerprints, which is nice.
14:18
So it's kind of you can call and card it.
14:20
I guess you could write on it. But the the the one I brought
14:25
today to sell one of our first ones just has prototype written
14:28
on it. Where is it?
14:31
How convenient. Where is it?
14:34
It was right there on the podium.
14:35
Where'd it? Go.
14:40
I go over and I check the head. Sorry, you seem distracted.
14:43
Mr. Oh. Ortiz.
14:48
Rumingus Ortiz. All right, cool.
14:51
No, you're giving off a wonderful air of mystery.
14:54
Thank you. You're welcome.
14:56
Did you? Have any other questions?
14:59
Or did you want to try and roll Perception on my body?
15:02
Oh, I'd love to roll Perception on your body.
15:03
Let me take a look. 18 As he laughs about this joke that he
15:09
makes, you notice retro that on his collar, Right there on his
15:16
collar, a little bit of red lipstick and because you rolled
15:25
18, which is the second DV for observing this person.
15:29
And you notice that he is wearing a red badge, little pin
15:33
badge on the inside of his shirt and it shows as he reaches for
15:38
his lighter to relight his cigarette.
15:41
Well, thank you, Victor. JK 94. 74.
15:47
Right. I see.
15:50
I'll tell you what, Victor. Why don't I go ahead and talk to
15:54
the guards to see if they can find your missing prototype?
15:57
Thanks. Yeah, I did.
16:00
You see anybody move? I didn't.
16:02
I didn't see anybody go near the podium except Mr. Carrick.
16:04
Maybe he took it upstairs. Maybe that's Aragon.
16:07
You think? Yeah, I.
16:09
Mean he took the gun. So yeah, my prototype gun.
16:13
Yeah, that I really fucking wanted.
16:16
Well, it probably continue the auction afterwards.
16:18
I probably won't stick around. I have an appointment.
16:21
Appointment for what? It's none of your business.
16:25
Oh, come on, you can tell me one of the another.
16:28
No Persuasion 20. All right, dude, I have a date,
16:33
all right? He straightens up.
16:38
If you have any other questions, I guess you're the detective
16:40
people, so I'll just sit here away from body.
16:43
Who's the days where? Come on, spill the tea.
16:45
No, no, that's a legendary persuasion.
16:47
No, absolutely not. 20 is not enough for that information.
16:51
Let me ask you this then. Is it with a new paramour or
16:55
somebody that you've already been seeing?
16:57
Oh, I've known this person for a while.
16:59
I'm quite excited, but have you been?
17:01
Have you dated them before? This is a new thing or this is
17:05
an old thing? No, no, I don't date anybody.
17:07
No, that would be bad for business, Okay.
17:14
Do I see anybody in the room with red lipstick?
17:18
Role perception. 23.5 Yes .5 + 5.
17:26
Oh, sorry, 23 + 5. Yes.
17:29
You do? You look over at Rain Sinclair
17:38
and they have red lipstick. You rolled high enough that you
17:45
notice the other people who have lipstick, including Jessica
17:50
Knight. Which is not red, it's pink.
17:54
And the collector who's got gold lipstick on, I mean, that's a
17:59
trademark for the collector I like.
18:02
The sparkles. I whisper into our comms.
18:08
If you you know, it sounds like he has a date.
18:13
Got that nice little mark on him.
18:16
Red lipstick. Looks like rain.
18:18
Sinclair's. Got a matching color lipstick?
18:22
Just saying. Rain Sinclair is also our number
18:26
one assassin in the room. Huh.
18:29
Interesting. Well, an assassin dating the man
18:34
who makes the assassin weapons. The exact weapon that killed our
18:39
victim? Gabriel Steele.
18:41
Press exit out. No, Vivian.
18:48
Yes. Were the chips empty?
18:52
The chip slots. But there was marks of what
18:55
looked like an explosion on the slots.
18:58
And we're missing the kill chip. We are.
19:02
Well, hold on. We're missing the prototype,
19:05
right? Not the actual.
19:07
Yeah, whenever anybody looking for it, they're all the Crip
19:09
fail. So what you mean the prototype
19:12
or the actual kill chip or? Anything.
19:14
They're all the CRIP fails. They found nothing.
19:16
I mean, I haven't taken a look. Let me see if I see something.
19:20
So just to just to clarify, is the prevailing theory right now
19:24
that it was the the kill chip that he was about to bid for is
19:30
what killed him so? He can't find the chip.
19:33
The chip is missing, and it's very likely an explosive chip
19:37
killed him. But it was.
19:39
But the wasn't the unless I'm misremembered, wasn't the
19:43
explosive chip or something that he was about to bid for It
19:46
wasn't that like on the podium or whatever.
19:49
It was OK, but alright. This got it.
19:54
This is confusing. Yes, well, we will get to the
19:57
bottom of it. They're.
19:58
Always confusing at the. And then Dell rubs their hands
20:00
together. We will get to the bottom of it.
20:07
Yes. Did I find anything with a 12
20:10
perception? Yes, because it's under a chair,
20:15
you find the spent. Kill chip plus that can be
20:18
reused. OK, so find.
20:20
It's a little singed. Got it.
20:23
Now, just for my sake, can you remind me what a kill chip does?
20:30
When you put it inside someone slot, it explodes and kills
20:33
them. Well, you could put it.
20:35
You put it inside and then I think it's like a remote.
20:38
There's a remote you can use too.
20:40
There's not a remote. There's not.
20:42
No, the user sets a timer. If you plug it into a regular
20:46
unit, it just acts like a flash drive, so it was timed to go off
20:50
right before the bidding happened.
20:53
No, no, it was on the podium. So how did it get into his neck?
20:56
So it must not be the prototype, it must be a different version.
21:01
This is the. Why are we assuming that it was
21:04
a kill chip? Is this is is the means of death
21:07
coincide with the way that it was?
21:09
That someone would die via kill chip.
21:12
Exactly to the letter. Yeah, OK.
21:15
I'm safe to assume that's how he went out.
21:18
Look, sometimes with these things, it's not always what
21:21
they seem. So sure, maybe it was something
21:25
else, but from my forensic investigation it the cause of
21:30
death was an explosive chip placed in his chip slot that cut
21:37
his head off. Who's the last person to have
21:39
talked or interacted with him with someone?
21:43
So they'd have to physically put it into his body.
21:46
Jeff One minute. It was on that podium.
21:49
But why are we assuming that? That was over here.
21:52
But why are we assume it is? Oh, it's.
21:57
The one that Remy found is singed.
21:58
It has just been used and it is quite obvious that it has just
22:01
been used. It's hot.
22:03
See why I put it in my pocket? So?
22:05
And that's the prototype one, to be clear.
22:07
So we found the murder weapon and I look over at Vandel murder
22:12
weapon. Putting the motor weapon on the
22:14
cutboard here. Yeah, alright.
22:17
Wait, can I put it on? Can I?
22:18
Can I? Can I?
22:19
Take the big circle around it. Alright, circle AM order.
22:25
Sorry, what order? The MARDARWAP.
22:38
Mon. Well, if we needed to get close
22:42
to somebody's neck, a romantic encounter might be suitable.
22:47
And if Rain Sinclair is going around kissing people's necks.
22:52
But how did it? If that's the murder weapon, we
22:55
all saw it on the podium. How did it get over there?
22:58
But the one on the podium's missing?
23:00
That's true, yes. All right, everyone, line up.
23:04
Strip time. Hey, no Latency listeners, it's
23:14
Spoon. I play Jeb here on No Latency.
23:16
But I also produced the brand new show System Switch, and it's
23:20
called System Switch because every few episodes we take our
23:23
sane, beloved characters and throw them into a completely new
23:27
universe in the form of a new role-playing game.
23:30
We'll go from steampunk to cyberpunk, from fantasy to
23:33
scifi, from romantic comedy to dark comedy, from D&D to Call of
23:37
Cthulu and everything in between.
23:40
So join us on our romp through the multiverse by searching for
23:43
System switch on your favorite podcasting app.
23:45
A man is dead. I walk out of the room that you
23:57
know that. I walk out of the room.
24:01
All right, everyone line up. We're doing, we're doing where?
24:03
We're getting down to our Skivvies.
24:05
Guy in the red blazer stands up. The collector stands up and
24:09
pushes against their cane. Rain Sinclair stands up and
24:12
salutes you for some reason. Hell yeah.
24:14
Jessica Knight leans over the back of her chair and just looks
24:18
at you through the top of her shades and Victor Solace
24:21
continues to smoke a cigarette while sitting.
24:24
The bar person, however, looks very nervous.
24:27
Did you think I was joking? Listen, apparently we were put
24:31
in charge of this situation and a man is dead.
24:34
Look at his head over there. It's still bleeding.
24:37
This man deserves justice. Gross.
24:39
And I'm gonna, I'm gonna take all y'all's clothes to make sure
24:43
that he gets his justice. You don't have to get me naked
24:47
in order to see what I have. I'm wearing like hot pants.
24:52
I barely have pockets. OK, fine.
24:54
Well then each one of y'all and I point to all the suspects.
24:57
Pick someone who you feel comfortable with.
25:00
Patty down. You know.
25:01
Excuse me? No.
25:03
Who's there? Victor Victor.
25:05
I don't like the you could. Ask my pockets.
25:07
You can scan my body, but I'm not getting naked in an open
25:10
room with everybody. That's ridiculous.
25:13
Oh, I'm. Sorry, my pockets.
25:14
You can ask nicely. I don't know what the rest of
25:16
these people are. Going to do ask nicely.
25:17
Did this man ask nicely to be killed?
25:20
Probably not. I don't know for sure, but
25:22
probably not. I watched you kill Eddie, The
25:24
Trick and Cold Blood in the Middle of the street live on
25:26
Network 54. Are you fucking kidding me?
25:29
Yeah, so you know what I'm capable of.
25:30
I'm I'm confused. You're not.
25:32
You're the detective. You're not going to go around
25:34
killing people. No, but I might.
25:36
Be just senseless? I don't know.
25:38
If I feel that, do you want to see what's in my pockets or not?
25:40
Yeah, I do. All right.
25:41
We don't have to strip search everybody, but yes, it would be
25:44
good to maybe have everybody show what's on their persons.
25:47
For every person you want to look through their pockets, you
25:49
have to roll reveal, Conceal, object or human perception.
25:52
Up to you. Well, this is happening.
25:55
I'm gonna go up to the bar person.
25:58
Hey. Hi.
26:01
Hi. Why are you so nervous?
26:04
And I'm not. Nervous.
26:05
What would you like to drink? A ginger ale.
26:08
Ginger ale. You got it.
26:09
And they pour you a Coke. Anything else?
26:12
I tip it over. Oh God.
26:15
It goes all over the place and you notice that their visor has
26:18
like text on it and stuff. Raw perception.
26:22
Tracy, in looking over Victor Solace, you find nothing.
26:26
You're 9 -, 8. You notice the word rumor
26:30
backwards on her visor. Who are you speaking with
26:33
currently? No, no, no, no one, no one.
26:35
I was just watching the. No, you're not.
26:38
And as they turn their head, a camera in the corner of their
26:40
visor, but it's not on. Listen what?
26:42
Do you want to be a murder suspect or should I just clear
26:46
you? If you answer my questions?
26:48
It's easy as that. Robust version. 22.
26:52
Fine. I'm not a Bob.
26:53
I'm not a Bob person. I'm a Blogger.
26:58
And what's your name? Hunter Chen.
27:02
She's about 5-4, like pudgy cheeks.
27:06
The visor works like shades. Hunter, what are you doing here?
27:10
I. Was trying to get a scoop about
27:11
the auction because everything that's in the auction is a
27:13
secret. And then I could get it to
27:14
Network 50-4. Maybe I could get a fucking job
27:17
there. Well, if you work with us, I
27:20
know somebody at Network 50-4, maybe I can get you in.
27:24
No fucking way. No Fucking.
27:26
Like to be the host of Room at 54 and they were like, fuck you
27:29
assholes. Well, maybe you need something
27:31
real. Yeah, like a murder mystery.
27:34
I didn't fucking kill him, all right?
27:35
I was over here. I saw just bar people like clean
27:38
glasses and movies. I've been doing that for like 3
27:40
hours. You did great.
27:42
We barely noticed you. Awesome.
27:44
Empty your pockets. OK.
27:45
And they empty their pockets as a an agent letter that they've
27:50
got and that's it. What does the letter say?
27:53
Oh oh fuck, you're all so high. I didn't mean to take that out.
27:59
I have to zoom in here GS. Sorry, can I look back?
28:04
I scan it with my cyber eye and I send it to the tiles of
28:09
everyone in the group. Yeah.
28:12
I think I. Think.
28:18
We have a clue. This is the first one.
28:23
This is the first proper. Clue, but it feels like.
28:30
Maybe the gym wanted to make sure that all the clues feel
28:32
important. Yeah.
28:34
Or did they? It says you're not it, Hon.
28:38
We're going with GS, which could stand for Gabriel Steele.
28:43
You. Mean The same person is also
28:45
known as that Rumor king that knows everything.
28:49
That's almost prophetic. And they wanted to have their
28:51
own show called Rumor 54. What's happening?
28:54
You're just kind of staring at his base.
28:56
Oh sorry, module. Walkie-talkie, ask.
29:01
We're talking. Thank you.
29:04
Want to appreciate a lot of drinks and bad at it?
29:07
Yeah, you gave me a Coke. Is that what that is?
29:10
I walk away. I don't You want to maybe check
29:14
behind the bar or something, see if maybe if they did do it.
29:18
Maybe they don't have it on their person, but they have it.
29:20
They have the fake kills card, maybe hidden in the bar
29:25
somewhere. Sorry Jim, I was reading the
29:28
letter. What did you say?
29:30
Did you want to? Do you want to check the bar?
29:33
I walked away all. Right, Jeb, you go over to the
29:35
bar and you roll Perception 19. Yes, as that.
29:42
Hunter Chen is standing behind the bar.
29:43
What do you want? She raises her arms a little bit
29:46
and opens her jacket. There, under her jacket, you
29:49
notice a badge. Just for a fleeting second, that
29:53
says JK 74. But other than that, all you
29:56
find a bunch of incredibly clean glasses, because apparently all
30:00
she's been doing this entire evening is cleaning them.
30:03
Good alibi. I kind of do my like little
30:05
lapel, you know? I grabbed my lapel and bring it
30:08
up to my mouth and go. Looks like we got another one of
30:11
those junky 74 peons. Interesting.
30:16
Well. Actually, so too they say
30:20
they're cleaning glasses all night.
30:21
A good alibi. They might not be the the
30:24
murderer, but they might be complicit.
30:27
Just say. What color are their lips?
30:30
What color are their lips so? They're black.
30:33
OK, I just like people to know that I have actually slipped out
30:37
of the room. I hope off to do 2.
30:40
Things God looks at you, who's already been informed, and nods
30:42
at you as you leave the room. The first thing I'd like to do
30:45
is I'd like to go to the kitchen please.
30:47
OK, and in going to the kitchen I would like to get a Ziploc
30:52
bag, a glass of hot water, some tin foil, and pulling out of my
30:58
bag. Before we had BBI still keep it
31:02
on me, but before we had BBI used to super glue my cuts and
31:06
all that together. So I pour a little bit of super
31:08
glue inside of the tin foil and put all that inside the bag with
31:12
the chip and seal it up. And put it underneath that of a
31:16
heat lamp that's in the kitchen that I'm assuming that they used
31:18
to keep things warm I. Would like to point out that
31:21
earlier Victor Solis mentioned that the the kill chip plus
31:24
can't take fingerprints. Yeah.
31:30
The material doesn't take fingerprints.
31:32
One of the the whole point is it's meant to be a calling card
31:34
that people are like, oh, this is it, but it helps distract
31:36
your enemy as you get away because they're all looking at
31:37
the others. It doesn't actually.
31:41
Well, Remingus did not pay attention to that.
31:43
So for 15 minutes they try and get no print and go.
31:46
Damn it. Now I'm going to say that there
31:49
is something I could give you for this, so roll for it.
31:52
Although the kill chip is fingerprint resistant to a
31:56
fault, perhaps your skill in this moment can reveal something
32:02
24 Yes, the hand. That held this object for
32:08
however long it was held, and it was recent since you can
32:11
actually see the heat difference on it.
32:13
The hand was not large. Okay.
32:16
I will relay that to the rest of the group.
32:18
They have a tiny hand. Whoever used this last?
32:21
Small hands. Very tiny hands.
32:25
I'm outside so. I'm gonna go and check with the
32:30
security cameras if you all want to keep interviewing people.
32:34
Yeah, I think we need to find out how many people got these
32:38
JKE 74 PMS. And why?
32:41
Well, listen, Hunter has motive because they skipped out Hunter
32:47
Chen for the Rumor 54 and they went.
32:51
With Gabriel Steele instead. So there's motive right there.
32:55
In fact, I think they're the only ones that we do know a
32:58
motive for. We have an interview.
33:00
And they have small hands. We.
33:01
Haven't interviewed everyone there, so this is true.
33:05
We know nothing of Jessica Knight.
33:09
Say, which is the one that recognized Jeb from the race
33:13
Victor. Shit already interviewed them
33:15
then this other person or. Wait a minute.
33:19
What about Keith? What about Keith?
33:22
I'm just saying. Keith could.
33:23
Never. They ain't here.
33:26
Keith, going back to the memory, how big were Keith's hands?
33:31
Huge and fabulous. There you go.
33:33
We did get a good look at their ants because they were doing the
33:35
nail thing. Same with the nails.
33:37
Stepping the nails up. All right, fine, teeth's out.
33:42
I feel like we're playing a game of Guess who?
33:45
Do They have blonde hair? It's yeah.
33:48
Or a clue in the room? What the?
33:52
Well, again, the kill switch. Anybody in the room?
33:56
Let's maybe single out some of the people who have tiny hands
33:59
because it's the last person who used the kilt ship.
34:02
All right. We'll interview some people.
34:04
Actually, you know what? Check Gabriel.
34:07
Steel and see if they have tiny hands.
34:08
Gabriel Steel. BB You head over and you look
34:11
down at his hands and he does have like small to medium hands.
34:16
His hands are rather small, so but there may be others here
34:20
with small hands. And other motives?
34:22
Haha. Also, did we check?
34:24
The body to see if there's anything on Gabriel Steel.
34:27
I will take a quick glance and see what I find.
34:30
You find not a lot. You found about 400 eddies, a
34:33
little camcorder device. And again, you once again notice
34:38
that both chip slots were recently in use.
34:41
So if the kill chip didn't kill one, there's a chip missing.
34:45
Yeah, there's also another chip. OK, I pocket 400 of these.
34:50
Wait, wait, wait. Wouldn't he necessarily be so?
34:54
Wouldn't they? Wouldn't he have to have lost a
34:57
chip? Like have a chip missing because
34:58
the chip is on? We found it underneath the
35:01
chair. Say that again.
35:02
So we we would He is missing 2 chips.
35:05
Two chips. OK, Yes, yes, yes.
35:09
So there were two chip slots and both of them are empty.
35:12
It looks like they were previously filled.
35:15
So I don't know what the other one was, but one must have been
35:18
a kill switch, right? OK, but who engaged it?
35:23
The collector comes over. So I wasn't, but I did find
35:29
something. Go ahead, you.
35:30
Find be part of the sleuth. Was that not allowed?
35:33
Am I a suspect? Technically, everybody's a
35:36
suspect, but that's that's okay. What did you find?
35:40
Well, I I I got up to go to the bathroom and the guard said I
35:44
couldn't leave. And on my way back just I went
35:48
to go and you know, spit into the trash can as, you know,
35:51
spittoons, old man, that kind of thing.
35:54
And I noticed I noticed this. Little chip that might be the
36:00
other chip. Okay.
36:04
I think the room's covered in cameras, so if you were to look
36:06
at the footage you see I found it in there.
36:08
I walk quite slow, so yes. Have we not checked the cameras
36:11
yet? That seems like we should have
36:12
done that first. Well, I I don't know how how you
36:15
whippersnappers do it, you know? That's what Ramingus is doing
36:19
currently. Right.
36:21
Well, if you need anything to me, I do know a little about
36:24
everyone of. Course, yeah.
36:26
And. Fix it.
36:28
Thank you. Thank you.
36:30
Hopefully that helped. Again, what didn't, didn't it
36:33
wasn't me. And he walks away and sits down.
36:39
OK, maybe we should take a look at this chip.
36:42
Remingus, are you able to look at this private chip by chance?
36:47
See what's on it. I am in the security office, so
36:50
I was going to look at the cameras.
36:53
If you want to bring it to me, yes, that would.
36:57
That would be useful. A video you're going to go to
37:00
security with with Retro and look at the footage and stuff.
37:03
Yes, I suppose I will. OK.
37:06
See you in a bit. The rest of you got everyone
37:08
keep interrogating. Yeah, you did it.
37:11
I'm kidding. Sorry, Collector.
37:12
No, fine. It's just novel, isn't it?
37:16
It's. Like the show?
37:18
Do you watch as well? Because I watch either go out
37:20
more. I know, so boring, isn't it?
37:25
I get murdered all the time. No, the guy who.
37:27
Is meant to take. Out.
37:28
My shift is outside along with Mr. Kerrigan's assistant, so
37:32
he's going to be pissing me off. Fucking hours.
37:33
What you want are. You the detective people?
37:36
Yes. OK.
37:37
Hello. What do you want?
37:39
What room? What time?
37:41
Give me, give me the auction room for the last three hours.
37:46
All right. OK.
37:53
OK, Gabriel. Steel death footage.
37:56
I've got it on. Got it on a loop.
37:59
Hold. It up.
38:01
Can you freeze it just before? The.
38:07
The flash of green that happens. There's a flash.
38:10
Of green. Oh, I guess there.
38:11
Is a flash of green. Wow.
38:21
Good eye, Rominguez. Yeah, sure I can.
38:25
I can make. It all let's.
38:26
See. Oh God.
38:29
Hold. On Thank you.
38:31
There you go. What is this green flash?
38:34
What does? I don't.
38:38
I don't understand. Maybe somebody did do something
38:41
with the chip right before it happened.
38:44
Well, a private chip is green. That's all I'm saying.
38:49
Yeah. OK, We should still take a look
38:52
at the chip and we should take a look at the rest of the footage
38:55
and see who has was talking to Mr. Steele throughout the
39:01
evening and what else they were up to throughout the night.
39:06
DM. Yes.
39:07
Can I roll education? Yes.
39:12
Because I want to see if. This blood splatter that we see
39:15
at this point is from an explosion or for something else.
39:19
Done. You're all 21 on education, and
39:22
there's a few things that you see.
39:23
You see the kill chip on the footage fly out of his neck very
39:28
clearly and go under the chair. You see the ghostly image of an
39:32
arm near his neck, and the flash of green reminds you that if you
39:38
pay attention at just the right moment, that's what happens.
39:42
When someone uses. A sand of Vizian.
39:46
That a word we heard before. Yes, it is a word.
39:48
That is a word I know a sand of Vizian that say, Oh my God, Oh
39:55
my God, I know what this is. Local expert.
40:00
I know what this is. I know what it.
40:02
Is I. Know what it is too.
40:04
Just gonna be one of those things where only one person is
40:07
the murderer but everyone wanted him dead.
40:10
Absolutely Sandovisian, that that's it.
40:14
Like a type of like neural where that makes people when when they
40:23
get it implanted, it makes them they just become like super
40:27
speed. That could be what that that
40:29
green light was. They must have activated their
40:33
Sandovisan and maybe did something in a flash maybe, I
40:36
don't know. It was so fast we didn't see it.
40:38
Yeah, Which is wild. That's how dangerous these
40:42
things can be. What does it look like?
40:45
It is a huge spinal implant that requires a very, very intensive
40:50
operation that once it's done you're you're out for weeks
40:54
recovering. I mean this is a whole full body
40:56
change that you're gonna undergoing and.
40:59
If I might ask then is it concealable?
41:03
Do they put something over it or can you not hide this?
41:06
If you have a lot of money, you could probably conceal it, but I
41:10
think of some of the ones I've seen, yeah, you could see it on
41:13
their spine and their back. It's sometimes visible,
41:17
sometimes not. All right, everyone, you heard
41:20
the lady. Get down to your Kitty
41:32
next time on no latency. 6 suspects.
41:42
Victor Solace or a gavel Rain, Sinclair.
41:46
Just good night and the collector A.
41:48
Few clues the private ship. Whoo.
41:53
I think I just got scalded with that hot tea.
41:55
Ow. It's a guilty pleasure of mine.
41:57
Gabriel didn't mention two people.
42:00
I wanna know who gave you the pan.
42:01
And you trust Victor, hmm. All the people with those pins.
42:04
Mysterious Spine Thing San Devastin clears.
42:08
A whistle. Oh wow.
42:10
Yeah, she's really got moves. So that sounds like motive
42:13
enough for me. Motive is motive is motive.
42:15
Doc, I have an idea. What?
42:16
Why would you want to tell me that?
42:18
I'm trying to figure out if you're even seen or not.
42:20
Follow me. I am afraid that if we confront
42:22
them, they might get hostile. Yeah, I said we would just blame
42:25
them. I think we just go tell
42:26
Kerrigan. They're the one who did it.
42:27
There are a lot of people in this room who would pay a lot of
42:30
money for that kind of information.
42:32
Do you really need me to spell it out?
