Last time I'll know they can see.
0:05
Where is the other one? The other perpetrator?
0:07
And then I helped vv take care of.
0:10
The big one. Yeah, this, this bats really
0:12
great by the way. Oh, we did let one.
0:15
Go the sand rule line by chance. That's what I'm looking for.
0:20
You know they're gonna use this against you when you find a real
0:23
one. OK, let's take a look at this
0:24
leg. That's.
0:25
Ruled over Will. It has never worked for free.
0:27
That's in the handbook. Live.
0:28
Don't underestimate me. I really appreciate your help
0:32
Iona. Did we try Claire?
0:34
Who's Claire? We ended up in space.
0:36
I'm so sorry, Claire. Did she say bubble tea?
0:39
We really did not take care of Claire the way that we should
0:42
have. It might be good to take a small
0:44
break. Yeah, right now I'm gonna rest
0:46
for a bit as well. All right, so that was weird.
1:02
We did save. What's his name?
1:05
I forgot already. Clive, Clive, Clive.
1:09
We did save Clive, but I don't know, I really thought he would
1:12
have given us his those guns he was talking about, but he just
1:18
sold us. Guns now, have you been?
1:19
Talking about this all night. Oh, I mean, I don't know.
1:22
I just kind of thought maybe we would be getting those fancy
1:26
guns he was talking about. Well, I did get a gun.
1:31
And he paid us all money. Yeah, so we got something from
1:34
it. Which I guess if you think about
1:36
it, if you turn that money and bought a gun, then it's kind of
1:40
like he gave us a gun. True.
1:44
Jeb, I just. I just can't believe that you've
1:46
been thinking about this all night.
1:48
But you have. You have your grand Pappy's twin
1:52
Colt 45. And I would never give them
1:54
away. So why are you worried about new
1:56
guns? Well, I just thought it'd be a
1:59
nice gesture. What's going on?
2:04
Good morning, Remy. Good morning, Remy.
2:06
Now, real quick, before you really start the diet, did you
2:11
think you were going to be getting a gun from Clive, From
2:13
saving the life? What the fuck are you talking
2:16
about? So we saving the.
2:18
Stuff with the idea that Clive was supposed to give us.
2:22
Because, he said, he had guns. When he. 1st called us, he did
2:26
and and Jeff just got. Literally.
2:28
While it just seems weird that he would bring up the fact that
2:31
he had guns to give us and then not give us guns is that am I
2:35
crazy or what? Don't you have your grand
2:37
Pappy's 45? That's exactly what I said.
2:41
Thank you. Don't.
2:43
You also have that American too, and it was it.
2:46
Was great. Crossbow as well.
2:48
Listen, I got nothing wrong with the guns I got.
2:52
I'm just saying that it was weird that he'd bring up the
2:55
fact that he had guns for us. We save his life and then we
2:59
don't get guns. I also think that you're missing
3:02
the fact that that was a metaphor.
3:05
Trying to say that the people that were trying to rob him were
3:08
the guns. They were.
3:10
He. Value.
3:12
Was a count. You know what?
3:13
I'm done. I'm over it.
3:15
All right? He gave us.
3:16
He gave us money. And we can turn that money into
3:18
guns if we back. I understand.
3:21
I'm just. It was just weird and I'm over
3:24
it. What?
3:25
What? What?
3:25
What the hell else are you doing?
3:27
Yeah. So are we going to turn that
3:29
that money into guns or nice nice goodies maybe I think, I
3:35
think we're we're due to get. For goodies.
3:39
I mean, I I. You got a new gun, didn't you?
3:43
Yeah, I did and and wasn't yours, wasn't.
3:47
Yours like a massive knockoff. It is, it's.
3:51
It's supposed to be a hello cutie, but it's like a no,
3:56
that's. That's the wrong pink.
3:58
Yeah, yeah, it's it's a knockoff.
4:02
But one day I will have the real hello cutie, mark my words.
4:08
Okay, I'll mark that down are. You not excited about the?
4:13
The Bat that I Made for You or on a.
4:16
This bat is the best thing I've No, no, no, no.
4:19
No. This bat is the best thing I've
4:21
ever owned. But honestly, every time we
4:25
fight I feel like we're shooting people.
4:29
And like I've just never had a good weapon to shoot people.
4:33
I I'm more, I do like to hit things more than I do like to to
4:37
shoot things. But We're The Bat is great, is
4:42
what I'm trying to say. That's my favorite.
4:44
I need to get you in closer so you can hit people with.
4:47
That bat, and I've been trying to make more of an effort of
4:51
that with like the Shields and everything, and it does.
4:55
Did you repair your shield? No, I've no, I haven't had the
4:59
time yet. We've been really busy, like
5:02
nonstop on the go. I've never been this busy in my
5:06
life. We're earning money, though.
5:09
This is true. We are.
5:13
And that's what life is all about.
5:16
Earning money capitalism. Yes, especially in Night City.
5:21
I remember we had a checklist. What's on the checklist for us
5:24
next to do? The checklist but Bill Domino
5:28
body. That's next on the checklist for
5:31
me. I feel like that is the
5:33
equivalent. This is not Jim speaking, This
5:35
is speaking that feels like when you start Breath of the Wild and
5:40
it says kill Gannon and you're going.
5:43
To go right to the castle right now.
5:49
Well, that's, that's what I got on the to do.
5:52
I think, I think we were going to find out information about
5:54
where we could get the parts from Mr. Carrigan.
5:57
Oh yeah. Right.
6:01
Right. He had a cat.
6:04
Yep, we saved it, right? Yes.
6:06
I. Don't.
6:08
No, no, we don't remember. I think that's the point, Jeff.
6:10
Oh. OK, so we saved a cat that we
6:14
don't remember and we're going back to see him.
6:18
For what was that about a cat? No stranger?
6:22
No. Just no.
6:24
Stranger, thank God I haven't seen you in forever.
6:26
Have you been? I'm.
6:28
I'm alright. It's good to see you.
6:30
Want some good catch? Yeah.
6:33
Is it is getting catching up or down or?
6:36
Yarn. No, I think I'll be fine.
6:39
OK. Yeah, I didn't really want you
6:41
to have to sound like a cat for the rest of today.
6:45
Meow. You didn't even do anything.
6:49
That's weird. Yeah, I know.
6:51
I I I I think I need a drink. Is it?
6:54
Is it bottomless mimosas still right now?
6:57
Is it that early? No, it's not.
6:59
Bottomless mimosas they do not. Happen till four.
7:02
I've had a word. We think about this.
7:04
I think it's sacrilegious. I mean, what time is it?
7:08
Because I mean, I can't even tell by what the drink schedule
7:10
is. It is 11:00 AM, Sir.
7:13
Damn. And no mimosas yet.
7:15
Geez. It's 11:00 AM on the dot.
7:18
How did you do that? Is there a clock behind me?
7:21
Well, he does have a computer for a head.
7:24
No, not. No, I I'm the.
7:27
One who said it. Was 11:00 o'clock, Jeff?
7:29
Oh, you drunk. It's 11.
7:33
Am my mistake? Jeff, you probably should have a
7:38
drink. The.
7:39
Dog and all that. Hair that I don't eat, Dog.
7:42
If I could get an Irish coffin, I think that really kind of two
7:46
birds once down. All right.
7:48
Well. I guess I'll where's Pink?
7:52
I I could not tell you. So I'm.
7:55
I'm. I'm.
7:55
Going to go get pain. Because.
7:58
They don't like it when a pour drinks.
8:02
So listen the on the list build domino body skin is important.
8:11
Now I do need to bring up that we were just in a facility that
8:16
fused machine and skin. We didn't.
8:20
We didn't get any, though. We didn't.
8:22
I think that doesn't. Take any out there.
8:25
Right, yes, quite. What was the company that was
8:30
responsible for the flesh and mechanical monstrosities?
8:38
Bendel looks. I don't know.
8:44
And and and. Bendel looks, I know, a bit
8:46
longer to give you a look at. Do I make a joke about this?
8:49
I mean, you could. Please do.
8:52
Jeb. Your Mama.
8:56
That was so good, Mendo. I had no idea what's going to
8:59
come out of your mouth. Is that good?
9:01
Did I do it? Sick burn, Jeb.
9:03
So good. Unsure of what just happened,
9:06
but I feel like I was the butt of the joke.
9:09
Yes, Jeb, because it was Biotechnica and it said
9:11
Biotechnica everywhere and you were there and you smelt it, You
9:14
also ate it. You're not paying attention.
9:16
Sometimes I drink too much and I forget things.
9:19
That's my only excuse and I'll use it.
9:22
From here on out. Anyway.
9:24
What did you drink? Well, why don't we go back to, I
9:27
mean if it's Biotechnica then why don't you, can't you look on
9:30
some sort of file or? Or or the.
9:33
Plants for the bio scanner. Back to the station.
9:38
We're not the no, not the one that we're at because we.
9:41
No, no, the satellite facility with all the samples.
9:45
Oh, you mean Silo 74? Silo, thank you.
9:48
I couldn't. I knew it started with an S.
9:50
What's my job? I'm I'm here to help.
9:53
I'm here to remind. OK, so we need a body, but we're
9:58
focused on the skin right now before we even have.
10:01
Skin is final step. I just had to I I just had to
10:06
put it out there that eventually we could probably find skin.
10:10
Do we have any sort of what do we have for this body they were
10:16
making? We know about the parts we need,
10:19
and we know where skin is, but that's about it.
10:21
I mean we could also get, we could also get real skin that
10:25
they have as cyber wear too. This is true.
10:28
That is I. Think this tech probably needs
10:30
the skin that I owned as referring to.
10:33
The Biotechnica stuff. Yes, OK.
10:36
Ping walks through the back. Hi, guys.
10:39
Thank God Ping Jeb needs a drink.
10:42
OK, Irish coffee. You got it.
10:44
And Pink starts making a. Drink.
10:46
It turns out that it doesn't function very well unless he's
10:49
had a drink, you know. Is that a problem?
10:53
Have we explored this? No.
10:55
Technically it's not good for your health, but I won't get
10:58
into the health. Technicality, Smish mentality.
11:02
A Irish coffee is placed in front of you, John.
11:05
Is that I can say I was recently addicted to send coke so.
11:09
It was bad. It was bad.
11:12
Did you guys get a ticket to Mr. Carrigan's?
11:14
Yeah. No, I believe that I have to get
11:17
one from Claire, but then I don't know about Claire.
11:20
Have you have you been interacting with Claire?
11:23
Is Claire doing okay? I've been keeping an eye on
11:26
them. They're not great.
11:29
I should really go check on Claire.
11:33
Yeah, like a they're not in a good.
11:35
Space. Yeah, yeah, they they haven't
11:39
gone back to their apartment. They're too.
11:41
I'm scared. Yeah, I should I should do an
11:46
evaluation. Might be wise.
11:49
Let's get you down there. Yeah, just just like the psych
11:54
evals have never been my specialty.
11:59
But you know what? It'll be fine.
12:03
All right. Well, you know it it you're
12:05
cheaper than sawtooth, so. That's true.
12:12
We pinched Sawtooths like three times in the past week.
12:15
The man is probably sick of us. Well, I mean, you know, that's
12:18
normal because I own her in them are dating.
12:21
Right. Yep, definitely.
12:27
Yes, definitely. All right, I'll go check on
12:29
Claire. So, Vivi, you head downstairs in
12:32
one of their little side rooms underneath the bar.
12:34
Even deeper underground in this bunker is Claire, playing
12:38
solitaire. Just like a.
12:40
Playing cards just. Playing cards on the.
12:43
Tables. Okay in a room on a metal table.
12:47
Okay in a room that has a sofa, but she's sitting at this metal
12:51
table. I'll knock, knock.
12:55
Hey, can I come in? Huh.
13:00
Hi. Sure.
13:01
Hi. Hi, baby.
13:03
How's it going, Claire? Yeah, well, constant headaches
13:07
and memory flashes. And the sevens always look like
13:12
eights. Yeah, I well, I mean, I just
13:18
wanted to kind of just check in on you and and see how you're
13:22
doing. Well, did Ping say?
13:26
Did Ping mention the screaming? No.
13:30
Never mind. You know what, Why don't we
13:32
start from the beginning? I know it's been we've been like
13:36
really busy like this is. I've never been this busy before
13:41
so it's it's it's a lot and so I'm.
13:43
I'm sorry. I have you know, we haven't
13:45
really checked in much but I wanted to start from the
13:48
beginning. Like, how has it been since we
13:50
last checked in? You said that you were having
13:53
more of headaches. Has it been becoming worse?
13:57
Tell me. Tell me everything.
13:59
There's a lot of memories that have come back, but they're not
14:02
in order, so I'm not really sure of the.
14:06
Series of events behind me. I know that I remember being
14:12
told to not go back and I'm not really sure why.
14:18
Cannot go back. And then I haven't.
14:22
I don't think I've seen Mr. Carrigan since then, but I'm not
14:26
sure. And then I and then I remember
14:30
like him being different. And and and then the cat, we had
14:36
to put it in a box because it it kept scratching him.
14:40
And then there's the headaches and all of the dead people.
14:44
With dead people. Yeah, well, you work in Night
14:47
City. You see a lot of death, yeah,
14:50
but all the memories are really vivid now.
14:52
You know how sometimes you get away from the memory and it gets
14:55
like different. You know, that feeling of
14:57
remember something, You remembered something yesterday
14:59
and it's like really clear. Or you just woke up from a dream
15:01
and you can really, really remember it.
15:03
And then you forget it. Yeah, I haven't got to that bit
15:05
yet, so I just remember everything like it was
15:08
yesterday. Like it was a good dream.
15:10
Yeah. You said screaming.
15:14
What? What exactly has been the
15:17
screaming? Pink says I scream when I sleep.
15:21
So. OK.
15:23
Have you been taking anything to help with this or have you just
15:27
been kind of enduring? I remember the last time I gave
15:31
you some stuff to help, but. That didn't work, so I've been
15:35
drinking whiskey. Got a bottle?
15:38
Jeez. Oh, nice.
15:43
Wicked. Yeah, maybe I can get you some
15:47
more drugs. The good stuff that'll help with
15:50
the painful dreams and memories and.
15:53
I have a BD implant I hope that can be used for therapy.
15:57
Yeah, actually I could get you some.
15:59
I got the context. Some nice soothing brain dances
16:04
that'll that'll help some. Maybe some deer out in the
16:08
field. Something peaceful, relaxing.
16:12
Yeah, just animals. Something.
16:15
NOT like. No.
16:18
Well, maybe out by the water. The running river.
16:24
Beautiful green. We'll get you something more.
16:27
Yeah. Well, that, that, that was.
16:31
Nice talk about stuff. Yeah, I.
16:35
Think it's good that you're talking about this and I am here
16:39
to listen always. And I'm going to check in on you
16:42
more and make sure you're OK. I'm sorry this has been so
16:46
painful for you. She places her other hand on top
16:49
of the table and scratches her wrist, and as the sleeve pulls
16:52
up, you can see that her knuckles on her left hand are
16:55
bloody. Oh boy.
16:56
Yeah, she's not. She's not doing well.
16:59
Is that? Another side effect, Have you
17:03
been punching things or? Yeah, put a dent in the dumpster
17:08
Outback. Maybe we find ways to get that
17:13
aggression out to Maybe we can get you some karate or
17:15
kickboxing classes or something. Oh, that'd be nice, Yeah.
17:19
Just. These little things I think will
17:21
help you physically, mentally everything.
17:24
Thanks, baby. Yeah, whatever.
17:27
Do you guys still going to go boss my apartment?
17:29
Yeah. We.
17:30
We probably are going to do that.
17:32
Could you could you do me a favor?
17:35
Sure. It's going to sound stupid.
17:38
It's dumb. Don't worry about it.
17:39
Never mind. No, no, no what?
17:41
What can we do to help? Could you bring me my blanket?
17:44
Yeah, yeah. My dad gave it to me and I just
17:46
want it back of. Course, thanks.
17:49
All right, I'm going to. I'm going to work on getting
17:51
that stuff for you. Just like when I was a kid,
17:54
that's it's a memory that's like come back since everything with
17:58
Iona in them. Fucking pill and the screaming,
18:00
yeah. But I remember holding that when
18:04
my dad had to go to work and it always smelled like him.
18:07
So I'd. I'd like it.
18:08
I'd like it back, please. Of course I having things like
18:15
that. It's it's nice I I have this
18:21
necklace that my mom gave to me and I still wear it.
18:27
Because it's just kind of nice to have something.
18:29
Well, it's cute. Is that gold?
18:31
Yeah, it's a little. It's a little heart.
18:33
Isn't it cute? That's really nice, yeah.
18:36
I I'll make sure to get that for you.
18:40
It's under the bed. I folded it.
18:42
That's where I keep it at night. I just didn't grab it.
18:47
I've got it. Nice baby.
18:48
Of course. I actually do feel slightly
18:52
better, like in a I've gone to therapy mechanics kind of way.
18:57
We roll. Yes, first aid for the mind.
19:03
So. 18 Claire's had a chance to talk about their feelings with a
19:08
medical professional, and for this, as a medical professional,
19:13
even with your limited work, with people with sort of need
19:18
for therapy, you can tell. That her asking you to get her
19:22
blanket is a big step because she is addressing memories and
19:26
that's really good for processing her like grief that
19:30
she's got. So you've helped her out by a
19:32
decent amount and she's on the mend, so well done.
19:36
Good. I'll.
19:39
Catch you later Claire. We'll okay.
19:41
We'll be back in a bit to check on you all.
19:44
Right Iona has my dual code. So great I'll.
19:48
Make sure to get that and I don't know when we're going to
19:52
go. We'll probably go soon and I'll
19:55
make sure to get that for you. Thanks.
19:59
Hey, VV. Yeah.
20:02
Thanks for checking on me I I remember a lot and not many
20:08
people ever have. Thanks.
20:11
Anytime, Claire. Hey, no Latency listeners, It's
20:22
Spoon. I played Jeb here on No Latency,
20:24
but I also produced the brand new show System Switch, and it's
20:27
called System Switch because every few episodes we take our
20:30
same beloved characters and throw them into a completely new
20:34
universe in the form of a new role-playing game.
20:37
We'll go from steampunk to cyberpunk, from fantasy to
20:40
scifi, from romantic comedy to dark comedy, from D&D to Call of
20:44
Cthulu and everything in between.
20:47
So join us on our romp through the multiverse by searching for
20:50
System Switch on your favorite podcasting app.
21:01
Hey, guys. Hi.
21:07
Are we we should? Probably go to Claire's place
21:12
sometime like soon if possible. We're not doing anything now,
21:19
right? Yeah.
21:21
Just a drink and. How many, How many Irish coffees
21:26
did you have, Jeb since I was downstairs?
21:29
Well the first the first one was just to wake up, so I was mostly
21:33
coffee with a little bit of Irish and the the second one was
21:37
mostly Irish with just a little bit of coffee.
21:41
But then I had the third one to make them like even across the
21:44
board. And did.
21:46
You serve yourself again, Jeb? Ping is giving you death eyes.
21:51
Oh, well, I saw there the. I saw that the whiskey was right
21:56
was right there. Or the the what?
21:58
What were you, Jeb? Relevation.
22:02
Jeb. Relevation.
22:04
Evasion. Relevation.
22:07
You're about to get oh boy. You are.
22:10
You had three drinks. You said this is minus 3. 13.
22:15
At the minus 3. 1313 is not enough.
22:19
Ping slaps you across the face. Oh.
22:24
Deb, don't you ever put. Your arm behind my bar ever
22:28
again. I mean, I thought that was just
22:30
kind of like a, you know, suggestion.
22:34
No. You order drinks.
22:36
I will bring them to you. I make them to fool you for
22:38
free. I was trying to, you know, light
22:42
the load. Right in the load.
22:44
You're the only people in here, Jeb.
22:49
Yep, I think you're pretty loaded right now.
22:52
We should step out. We should definitely just go to
22:57
Claire's apartment, right? Jeb like stumbles out of the out
23:01
of the off the seat like yeah, I'll be right behind you.
23:06
I'm just want Yeah, I'm right right behind you.
23:10
Do we have any Alco Seltzer? I'll check my bag here.
23:17
Let's roll a D10, shall we? Yeah. 50 wills I roll out.
23:25
I also rolled A5 that's. Crazy.
23:28
I'm going to say that's yes. Then that's a yes.
23:29
Yeah, we both matched. Yeah, you find some in the very
23:32
bottom of your bag, but it's crushed.
23:34
Put this in some water. The only thing I can.
23:38
Handle. Myself as I am, how?
23:41
Many fingers am I holding up? 4/4 yeah.
23:45
Yeah. That's that's a three Jeb.
23:48
That's look 1/2. No, because the thumb doesn't
23:52
count as a finger. It's not.
23:54
It's not a thumb, dude. There are only three.
23:56
Never mind. Drink this.
23:58
Drink this. Jeb.
23:59
Jeb, drink this. It's fizzy and nice.
24:02
I know what you're doing. I'll appreciate it.
24:05
I happen to feel real good right now.
24:07
And Jeb, the Alco seltzer. That starts to fizz through your
24:11
nasal capacity, giving you the sensation of needing to sneeze,
24:14
but never giving you the satisfaction of actually
24:16
sneezing hold. On I'm gonna sneeze I.
24:20
Hate that? Oh my.
24:22
God, I can't do it. That's a side effect of the
24:24
product. Stare at the light.
24:26
Stare at the light. Look at it.
24:28
Look at it. Sneeze.
24:30
My eyes. Just perfect sunlight on that
24:40
right there. What?
24:42
What? What?
24:43
Do you need to? Do.
24:45
I was thinking maybe we could just take a trip to Claire's
24:49
because we haven't, you know, been to their place and they
24:54
haven't been to their. I mean, I think Claire should
24:57
stay put, but. Oh yeah, definitely.
24:59
We we just kind of checked the place out because it's been a
25:02
while, don't they have? The.
25:05
Ticket there that we need. Correct.
25:08
Yes. Is that is that Claire's place?
25:12
Well, Claire is Mr. Kerrigan's assistant.
25:15
Oh, well, that OK. I didn't know.
25:18
Is that or? Yeah.
25:19
OK you. Did know that, I think.
25:20
OK, I forgot. Yeah, so we have to go there
25:24
anyway. So we should, we should do that
25:28
today. That sounds like an easy
25:30
mission. Good.
25:32
Famous last words let's. Go, you guys happy?
25:35
Because now I feel like shit. Sober as hell, and I feel like
25:39
she. Jeb, I'm not being funny.
25:42
One of the reasons why you feel sober as hell is because your
25:44
body has an incredible metabolism right now because you
25:47
eat turrets and flesh. And was there a point there?
25:53
No, it's just pointing out the science.
25:57
Jeb, I'm gonna put my arm around Jeb as I lead them out towards
25:59
the Vanna White. The thing is, it's like your
26:02
body is going through changes right now, All right?
26:05
We all go through them at some point in our life, right?
26:09
And The thing is, is that there's this really, like,
26:11
strange tickle. And I know things feel strange.
26:14
Everybody gets in the van and you.
26:16
The elevator takes you up and you drive out into Night City
26:19
towards Claire's apartment. And yeah, that's pretty much why
26:23
our bodies go through that job. And so the the, the regrowing of
26:28
limbs has. And else under do with that.
26:31
Absolutely nothing to do with it, but I feel like it's a good
26:34
enough analogy that potentially it can help you in some kind of
26:39
way. I think, because I can't think
26:41
of anything else to do with that.
26:46
It's like trying to explain why Magic Eye works like it doesn't
26:49
and people lie and say that it does.
26:52
And we're there. Yeah, if you were there.
26:55
I'm I'm telling you, Jeff, Magic Eye doesn't work.
26:56
People say they can look at the the book and like see a picture
27:00
by crossing their eyes and they're lying.
27:02
It's impossible. You can't do it.
27:04
Well, we both know that's not true, but I could see it looks
27:07
like a little 3 dimensional picture.
27:10
You know you're lying to me. You can't do it.
27:11
It's impossible. You can't do that.
27:12
No, it's true. You just kind of have to wait
27:14
and see the the the. The trick you see is to focus on
27:18
a point that's behind the book, which is admittedly difficult
27:23
considering that the book is in fact in front of you.
27:27
But you're going to want to focus on a point behind it if
27:31
you can. Can you cross your eyes?
27:33
Jeff I have a camera for an eye. That's all I have.
27:36
So. I know you're lying.
27:38
You can't do that. It's impossible to do that.
27:41
We've been sitting outside of Claire's apartment for 5-10
27:45
minutes now. Do we do we want to go in or?
27:48
Well, this is an important conversation that we're having
27:50
about magic. Eye.
27:52
Sometimes you just need to let them talk.
27:54
It out. All right.
27:58
I'll just. I'll wait then for.
28:01
Another 20 minutes we. Can get out of it.
28:03
Yes, they can join us in a minute all.
28:08
Right. I guess I'll just.
28:09
Jeb, don't forget to park. Don't forget to pull the parking
28:12
brake. And you guys get out and you
28:16
walk. Into.
28:17
Claire lives high up in this building, so you walk into the
28:20
lobby with Jeb and Retro still talking about Magic behind you,
28:24
and there's an elevator in front of you to take you up to
28:27
Claire's. Like, it's just a bunch of snow.
28:30
It's a fuzzy picture, man. All right, look at it.
28:35
I think, Iona, you have the the Yes I do to get in.
28:40
Should we get in the? Elevator store code, Yes, yes,
28:43
of course. Up we go.
28:45
All right, you guys all get in the elevator, The door closes.
28:56
Oh, it's new elevator music. That's nice.
28:59
Oh, this is this is a vibe is this?
29:02
The new DJ calls. I feel like I should be burning
29:06
more calories. That is funny.
29:08
This is good. Well, this is a really long
29:10
elevator, right? This is a really tall building.
29:13
It's a very tall. Building there's way up there.
29:17
You know, no one should back to the apartment for a bit, right?
29:22
Correct. That is correct.
29:25
I went back to my apartment a couple of times.
29:27
No Claire Claire's apartment. Yeah, this is not an apartment.
29:32
Yes. I don't remember.
29:35
Wait, we've been here before? Yeah.
29:40
DJ, Qualls, DJ. Qualls.
29:44
The song is just so distracting. So good.
29:48
I know. I don't want to talk over it.
29:50
It's a straight up, Bob, you know.
29:55
You know, I I hear that DJ Qualls got like a.
30:00
A contract to do a bunch of elevator music across Night
30:03
City. Makes sense, I mean.
30:06
It's a lot of elevators. There's a lot of elevators in
30:10
that city. It's a prime music spot.
30:12
Because you're a captive audience.
30:15
Yeah. As you can tell by us previously
30:21
being a captive audience there. Yeah, they started the day
30:27
recorded you when you. To the elevator rats.
30:31
What do you mean? Yeah, I'm.
30:35
I'm confused what you're talking about, Jeff.
30:36
I don't remember what you're saying.
30:37
And the elevator comes up to the top floor.
30:40
That's so Vivi. Was there anything that Claire
30:44
needed us to grab? She did ask for a sentimental
30:52
item, something I think that'll help comfort her a bit.
30:56
So I'm going to grab that. She told me where it was.
31:01
By the way, Claire's not doing well.
31:06
Yeah, I I I didn't expect them to get better instantly or
31:10
anything, But it doesn't look like the condition is improving.
31:14
The memories seem to be more vivid and they're handling it
31:18
not not the best. So.
31:23
Do we think that it will eventually?
31:26
Subside. I'm not sure we're going to try
31:30
some techniques and things to help.
31:34
Kind of be a bit of an outlet, like some therapeutic brain
31:38
dances, some maybe kickboxing or, you know, fitness classes to
31:45
help off some steam because she has been punching.
31:50
Dumpsters and crying out and rage.
31:54
So maybe a way to kind of express that anger in a
31:57
different outlet is usually does help that.
32:01
Sounds like it might helpful, yeah?
32:02
Yeah. So we're going to try with that
32:05
first and hopefully it helps. But if it doesn't, then we may
32:09
need to think about the next steps, which I'm not quite sure
32:12
what those are yet, but we need to think about the next steps.
32:16
I was going to say taking a sawtoo.
32:17
Sawtoo has been doing my therapy, so.
32:20
And also, like, maybe a retreat, some rehab.
32:24
Yeah, yeah, I think that might be an option.
32:29
But right now, yeah, I don't want to displace her too much.
32:34
So yeah, we'll see if this helps, but hopefully I'm going
32:39
to get this item for for her. It's something that her dad gave
32:43
to her some time ago, so might help her feel better.
32:50
Yeah, yeah, yeah, I kind of feel bad.
32:53
We should, we should check on her more.
32:55
Yeah, When was the last time we did something for someone that
32:59
wasn't out of, you know, making us money or otherwise furthering
33:07
our personal causes? Didn't we just go to space for
33:11
Domino? Yeah, but we got paid.
33:13
We did. I don't remember that.
33:17
You were very high. You know it is, it's, it's Night
33:25
City and everybody's out for themselves, so.
33:28
That's. Not necessarily true.
33:32
You and I helped Jeb out in in finding his girl, Remember.
33:37
I remember that. Retro he Jeb also paid us so.
33:44
It was You guys were expensive. Yeah, I I was going to say I
33:49
helped my exboyfriend Chad, but I also got paid for that too.
33:55
And. Yeah, you stole the book.
33:56
That was fun. That was fun, using that in the
33:58
desert. Yeah, yeah, I I I took it as
34:03
payment for helping him. You guys, You guys still You
34:07
guys still a thing or? No, no, he was really like a one
34:11
off thing and then he kind of was a little clingy after, so I
34:16
just. I kept them around.
34:17
Just just. For the hoverboard, I understand
34:21
makes sense. To me, very nice city to just
34:23
use people. That's not.
34:24
I like that, yeah. You know, but you know, Jeb does
34:28
bring up a good point. We haven't really done anything
34:30
nice for a person just to be nice.
34:33
So, you know, maybe helping Claire is a good thing.
34:37
It's. Hard when people keep offering
34:39
to pay for the things that you do.
34:43
Now here says just the society that we live in.
34:45
We're just very wanted, which is a good thing.
34:49
Yeah, we've also never turned down the money.
34:51
Yeah, sometimes we do things and then people just give us money
34:54
afterwards. Didn't ask for it.
34:57
No, I didn't ask for this. What?
35:01
Huh. Well, then maybe this time we'll
35:05
do it for 50% off. It's like a coupon, but it's for
35:11
goodwill. I don't think Claire has any
35:13
money, but OK. So we're doing this pro bono.
35:16
I guess. It's a good thing we had this
35:18
whole conversation before we got to her place.
35:21
Now we know that we can just accept it no matter what it is.
35:25
A good thing, and this is our one thing for the next decade
35:28
that we do that's nice and free. So there we go.
35:30
Yeah, we're good people. Very good people.
35:34
We are. Let's go in.
35:36
We're a little bit funny. Sorry all.
35:41
Right. Jeb, breaching clear, quietly
35:45
turn nonviolently. Why?
35:47
Why are we preaching? There's no one here to breach
35:50
and. Clear Claire's place.
35:52
We could though. For fun.
35:55
For fun. Just don't break the door down
35:58
or anything like that. Yeah, that's why, I said,
36:00
quietly and nonviolently. Fine, go ahead and breach and
36:05
clear. Yes, breach clear.
36:14
We'll go to the door, have our own to type in the the keypad
36:17
code. I type in the door code.
36:21
Let me in. That's a fun door code.
36:23
Let me in. I like that.
36:26
Let me in. The door unlocks, but you have
36:28
not opened it yet. All right, if you would like to
36:31
preach and clear, now is your time.
36:33
Jeb, you go left, I go right. Amen, brother. 3/2.
36:38
Oh no, pretty clear. As you open the door.
36:41
Oh. No, Inside are two heavily
36:46
armored dudes with guns, and they're standing in the room
36:50
looking around, and they turn and look at you.
36:53
What the fuck are you doing in here?
36:55
Pretty clear, pretty clear. Pretty clear Wait, boss.
37:04
And you hear you hear a lot from the other room.
37:07
The bathroom door opens, and there in the doorway is Walker.
37:12
Oh, hi, everyone. You know, I was looking for you.
37:18
And it is incredibly lovely of you to all just walk in to right
37:22
where I am. Nice to see you again.
37:25
It's one liner. Oh, I had no idea who this was.
37:34
You didn't know who I am? It was the guy that just did all
37:37
the one liners. Yeah.
37:40
The one liner guy. I have a name.
37:44
Yeah, it's one liner. No, it's not one liner.
37:47
I'm Walker. Walker one liner.
37:52
I I I will, I am. I am an advanced AI and I'm
37:57
going to fuck you up. Do you understand?
38:01
Sure. Are you one step closer to the
38:04
edge? Just just just.
38:10
Well, we're waiting for your one liner.
38:12
I don't know. I don't know you came to this
38:14
Apt. I didn't know you were going to
38:16
be here. We're just trying to find this
38:17
fucking Clairol person. Well.
38:21
Why do you need Claire? Dad is.
38:25
I'm not going to fall for that. That's smart.
38:26
I I almost said things. And it goes to them that
38:30
happened. Boys lock and load.
38:34
Oh, there it is. What?
38:38
The one liner. Lock and load.
38:41
Classic. Yeah.
38:43
I'm not going to tell you that it was a good one liner, but it
38:46
was a one liner. It's a cliche for sure, but it's
38:50
something that's a staple. Here, do you see what you got to
38:53
do is you got to incorporate the environment or the people that
38:57
are in the room. You got to have it be pertinent
39:01
to the exact situation that you're in currently.
39:05
So for instance, there's a nice rug in this room.
39:08
You could say something like I'm about to pull the rug out from
39:11
under you. Or you could say you're not
39:14
walking out of here. That's pretty good.
39:18
I tell you what I will say. And you're going to listen to me
39:24
roll for initiative? Oh oh, do you play those games
39:30
as well? Are you one of them?
39:43
Next time on no latency. That one's pretty good.
39:50
See, that was a good one as far as your one liners ago, you're
39:53
getting better. Well, let's shoot them, Jeb.
39:55
Horton to understand that Magic Eye is bullshit.
39:57
Nice. Work Iona.
39:59
Try this out for size. You're doing great, Jeb.
40:01
You just got shot. It's OK.
40:03
See, he's forcing it now. See Vandell.
40:05
The training is paying off. Leg injuries?
40:07
Broken legs. The worst to recover from?
40:10
Just saying. You're almost there, Walker.
40:13
Honestly, I really thought you had that one.
40:15
Shush, shush, shush you Just be quiet and die.
40:19
Die gently. Make my day.
40:22
Have we not encountered enough creepy animals like in the past?
40:26
I mean it's it's alright, It's pretty funny.
40:29
I I'm expecting you to not say anything because I'm strangling
40:32
you that. Was a test new past I.
40:34
Mean. To be fair, they shot us first.
40:37
But we were talking about doing good things and I think not
40:39
killing everyone we come across might be it.
40:43
