NL: SideQuest - A Choice of Heart - Pt4 The Penthouse Operation · No Latency

0:01
Last time I had no latency side quest.
0:04
Oh my God. Thousands of dollars.
0:06
This is destroyed. That thing's beeping radicast.
0:08
Saw help me grab. Him.
0:10
I got him. I got him, yeah.
0:11
Guys, we had one job window for transplant is small.
0:15
You stay here, Miss Vivi. Do we know how to put a guy back
0:17
into a cryo tank once he's out? Oh, we're going to take his
0:20
foot. If we have to.
0:21
I can just knock him out. Please, please just go get him
0:23
you. Ever read the book called Alice
0:24
in Wonderland? I've never heard of it.
0:26
I can't. Read.
0:27
Gaslighting isn't even real. Absolutely none of the things
0:30
that came out your mouth right there.
0:31
What's the right thing to say? We're therapists.
0:33
We don't know what's in this box.
0:35
Listen, Dave. Buddy.
0:36
What does that say? I see.
0:37
Where you're coming from? Can I pay you the 80 now?
0:40
Because that is the safest option.
0:41
And then I need to go talk to a friend out there to get the
0:43
rest. Is that cool?
0:44
You got me on camera. It's.
0:45
Donor hearts cure. All right, don't if you guys
0:48
have a grenade. I have a stun gun and a
1:05
tranquilizer. OK.
1:08
I I got a shotgun and and and an old gore grinder here.
1:12
Gore Grinder's not bad. I have a scrambler on me, does
1:17
that help? Scrambler.
1:18
OK, not quite. So lovely fella over there.
1:22
Actually, Scrambler might help potentially.
1:24
There's a guy in there, lovely gas station guy.
1:26
And I kind of turned and if I can pinpoint one of the cameras,
1:28
I'll just kind of give a little wave way over my shoulder.
1:31
Cool, yeah. Little little Dave in there see
1:36
that we're being blackmailed friends apparently someone saw
1:42
our our little package kind of Sprint out and Sprint back in,
1:47
lay down. They're threatening us.
1:50
I don't think it's that serious, but also just to be extra sure,
1:54
you know, so. You want to blow them up?
1:58
I want to get rid of the problem.
2:03
Yeah, I think, I think we should.
2:06
Blow him up. How well how much does he want?
2:10
How much does he want? Like I had that like.
2:13
I mean, he already stored 80 eddies out of me for 82
2:17
technically after tip. Don't take that tipping model by
2:19
the way, it's a bad idea. 82 eddies for premium gas Don't
2:23
worry, I didn't put premium in it.
2:25
Devin and she's, I get the feeling he's a little empowered
2:29
right now, so I don't know how much he'll ask.
2:31
Frankly, I want my eddies back so.
2:35
I I think I have. I think I have an idea.
2:40
Oh. I have a small idea, just so you
2:46
guys know. The goal is to go in there.
2:49
We're gonna give him a nice little talk.
2:52
Saw how strong are you? Are you like bulletproof glass?
2:59
Berserker strong or regular glass means nothing to you
3:03
strong. I mean, I mean, I'm pretty
3:08
strong. Like I don't know if I could
3:10
punch through bulletproof glass and it stops bullets.
3:14
Bullets still go through me. So I went.
3:17
I lose in that fight, but. Yeah.
3:20
Can you do me a favor when I get in there?
3:23
Can you just kind of like walk back and forth, just maybe sing
3:28
one of your songs to yourself for me?
3:32
And yeah, I could do that. Yeah, just sing one of your
3:34
songs to you just right out of your breath.
3:36
You know, just practice your lyrics for me and I'll be right
3:39
back. No.
3:40
And you want me to come in after you or with you?
3:44
If things go down, come back in, but I don't think I'll need
3:48
that. OK.
3:51
OK. In FIVI.
3:54
Thank you so much for such a lovely evening.
4:03
Devin's going to walk in. Hi.
4:06
Hi. How are you doing?
4:07
First thing, what is? Yeah, I do.
4:09
I do. And Devin starts to reach his
4:11
pocket. By the way, what is your name?
4:13
My name is Devin. Cameron.
4:15
Dave. Dave.
4:17
What is your last name? Dave, my name is Devin Coleman.
4:22
You can reach look me up. Actually, here is my card.
4:26
He'll slide the card into the little slot.
4:34
Yes, we do a lot of logistics where I'm at.
4:37
Dave. Dave, that works at this gas
4:41
station located at this ferry location, correct?
4:45
Good. So Dave, this is what's going to
4:47
do. Dave, I'm going to give you 100
4:50
credits right now and you're going to delete that video.
4:55
And Dave, you see my friend out there?
4:59
That's my good friend. He's a great guy, but he doesn't
5:04
like being threatened. He tends to do what he's doing
5:07
right now, which is walking back and forth trying to keep himself
5:10
together. Now here's the thing, Dave,
5:14
you're going to take this $100 and you're going to delete that
5:17
video and I'm going to leave and we're going to leave and
5:20
everything's going to be fine. But Dave, I promise you, if a
5:24
single ounce of this information hits any airwaves, I'm going to
5:31
set not only that man on you, but everyone you've ever seen,
5:36
known, loved, thought about, smelled, imagined.
5:42
And then I'm going to burn everything around you until only
5:46
you stand. And then and only then will I
5:51
put a single ounce of harm upon your body.
5:56
Is that, does that sound great to you, Dave?
6:01
Or actually anything you. Can roll vehicle handling right
6:06
now and be fine. I'll I'll take the 16. 16 You
6:14
know what? Actually, no face down.
6:18
OK. Yeah, way more fun face down,
6:21
no? No face off.
6:23
It's the thing we were doing there.
6:24
We. Go no, no.
6:26
I wish it was face off. And I think for the first half
6:29
of Season 1, that's what we called it because we fucked up
6:34
so funny one day. What?
6:47
For those who don't see it, what did you roll?
6:50
DM. I I rolled A1, which means I
6:52
have a negative feeling this guy has a Rep of two.
6:58
He has a call of three, which means you watch him piss
7:02
himself. Oh.
7:04
My God. He hits delete.
7:07
You know what? Yeah, it's fine.
7:10
It's OK. You know what?
7:13
You know, keep the money because maybe you can walk by a pair of
7:17
soap because you smell like shit.
7:19
Have a great day, Dave. Shit.
7:24
Myself. Oh.
7:25
Fuck you watch him delete the footage he like he's like shows
7:27
you the screen and he's showing you like fast.
7:29
Delete all of the footage for today.
7:31
The whole fucking day at this gas station has been deleted.
7:38
Yeah, you did good. You are.
7:42
You look at him and there's a shelf next to you and you can
7:45
take one item from this gas station for free.
7:47
What do you want? Nice.
7:49
Is there a meat stick? Yes.
7:53
There's a kibble stick, yeah. I would like a kibble stick.
7:56
There's also a stack of boosts, there's some smash and there we
8:00
are a really cool pair of shades.
8:03
You know, I'll take all of that. I'll take a a bottle of liquor,
8:06
some shades, the kibble sticks. And I'll leave it one but.
8:11
Damn, No, no, no, I wrote a crit, I wrote a crit -9 so sure,
8:15
I'll take all the. Devil do.
8:19
You remember that drugs have serious effects when you take
8:21
them, so drinking that, even for role play, will mess with you if
8:25
you don't roll. Well, that's.
8:26
Cool guys don't look at explosions.
8:28
Devil would just walk out face directly to the guy, hand the
8:32
drink over to saw the glasses over to bridge.
8:36
All right that has been taken care of Saw great.
8:40
Make sure I get a copy of your album before we leave.
8:44
Perfectly. But it is time for.
8:46
Us to go Wait, you want to buy a copy of CEO?
8:49
Yes, corpse eating Organism, that's what you want to buy.
8:56
Yes. Oh, I I got one.
8:59
I got one some. I'll find you one.
9:01
I'll. Find you I.
9:02
Know. So you, you have one, it's in
9:04
your lapel pocket. There's no way you don't know
9:05
where that is. You pull out a data chip and
9:07
hand it to him. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah,
9:10
absolutely. And he's still going to pay
9:12
this. Man, because you haven't you
9:14
haven't told him to stop pacing. He's still pacing and like
9:17
punching the. Air so you're good.
9:20
You can stop. You can stop.
9:22
We need to get going now Yeah, but you did a great job.
9:25
We usually. Sell them for for 30 year old
9:28
bucks at the shows it's. Expensive album.
9:35
For indie. Bands.
9:37
Yeah, well, unsigned was self. Funded, you know, since you're
9:41
such a smart man and you you're invested in your future.
9:45
I think I can give up 30 God damn EUR for this and so beep
9:54
beep cool. Hey.
9:57
Do you do you think you could put it on in the car?
10:01
Let's get out of the current situation we're in and then we
10:05
can put it on the car because, you know, we don't want to, We
10:07
don't want to put more attention to it.
10:08
So I don't need your adoring fans to, like, charge us, right?
10:12
It's been too much already. Oh.
10:14
OK, well, if you find fans, let me know.
10:16
Maybe I can look. They'll they'll practically do
10:19
anything for me. Oh, that's right, Dave in there.
10:22
Dave was shitting himself all over you, man.
10:24
It's OK, but he has to go back to work.
10:27
You're saying this as you get back in the van and you get back
10:30
on the road. VV, you're monitoring the the
10:32
tank. You've rolled really well, so
10:34
it's absolutely fine now. But you now know that there is a
10:36
man inside this vehicle. Yeah.
10:39
You drive off towards the corporate district and you'll
10:41
arrive in about 3 to 4 minutes. We have a few moments to discuss
10:46
before you. Get to it.
10:48
OK. So the next portion of this as
10:50
we bring it to the corporate, the Mega Building 17, drop it
10:54
off and that's it. Then we're done.
10:56
We got to take it up to the penthouse.
11:00
Right. Probably this Doctor blast
11:03
penthouse. OK, we'll do our best.
11:05
I'll do my best to try and get as many credits as I can out of
11:08
the guy. But again, especially if it's
11:10
like in Burr heart, I can't imagine it'd be that great to
11:13
have had it be pumping as and I kind of like tap the top of the
11:17
casket as hard and fast as Glenn here had it going so.
11:22
I'll see, yeah. And you drive through the city.
11:26
The corporate district is a lot easier to drive in.
11:29
Roll a driving check so you don't fuck up your vehicle.
11:35
Driving check. God I hate this place.
11:38
I should know where that is. Yeah, absolutely great.
11:43
You find a fantastic parking space.
11:46
You get to the outside of the building.
11:47
As you get there, ground level the outside of the building,
11:50
there are two elevators, Elevator one and elevator 2.
11:55
The console in between asks for a password bridge.
11:57
You know what that is, and you get to choose which elevator you
11:59
go in. I type in the password just
12:03
nighting get Yes, I type in Nightingale right and.
12:06
Both doors open. I step into.
12:08
One or two. If I like poke my head into the
12:10
elevator, does elevator one go to penthouse 1?
12:12
They both go to Penthouse 10. Should we split up or take the
12:16
same elevator? Can we all fit into the one
12:19
elevator with the the cryo tank? Oh.
12:22
It's pilot. Get cozy.
12:25
I always like the number one. Yeah, and the elevator starts to
12:34
ascend this building. The water is beating down on the
12:38
side of the elevator as it ascends even further higher up
12:42
into the sky through the red clouds themselves, until you are
12:45
above the rainstorm. Although the sky is not clear,
12:51
it's quieter up here. You can see this red mist
12:55
obscure most of the buildings below you.
12:57
As you reach the penthouse, the door chimes and slides open.
13:03
All. Right, let's do this.
13:07
OK, 17. You're bringing along this
13:11
casket, the body in it, and it's on this grav lift and you're
13:16
pushing it along and you get to the door and there's a little
13:19
panel at this penthouse door. What does the panel say?
13:22
It's a doorbell. I'll just give it a little tap.
13:28
Yes, who is it? It's Glen.
13:33
The door opens. You weren't meant to open the
13:37
box. Oh boy.
13:54
Journey into the world of Frostborn, The newest arc of
13:59
dungeons and randomness takes place 100 years after our last,
14:02
meaning it's a perfect time to jump into the show.
14:05
A small group of adventurers embark on an epic tale of
14:08
rebuilding and revenge in the magically frostbitten world of
14:11
Tharia. They'll struggle to stay alive
14:14
in harsh conditions as they call in every favor they have in
14:18
order to get payback against a corrupt king.
14:22
New audio and video episodes are posted every Monday, and you can
14:25
even help the group build the settlement as part of our
14:28
Discord. Find us on Spotify, YouTube, or
14:31
wherever you get your podcasts. The endless winter has finally
14:35
come. He wasn't meant to escape, but
14:48
we didn't know we were transporting a person.
14:50
You know that raises the fee, right?
14:52
I think 12 K is adequate anyway, there are a few of you, but I'd
14:57
be assured I can hold my own regardless of whether I have
15:01
cyberwear or not, which unfortunately I do not.
15:05
You don't have to worry about that.
15:06
Do I need to justify myself to you pontificate about my needs?
15:14
Not with that many syllables. All you have to do is pay us and
15:18
we'll be on our way. And also.
15:21
Yes. Tell us a little bit about HEMAT
15:24
0 if you could. Well, I suppose the cat's out of
15:29
the bag. I'm Hemat 0.
15:32
I'm the cure. I can't install cyberwear so.
15:39
You're allergic. Because I'm allergic, I've had
15:43
implants, internal agents. They work for very little time.
15:48
Here's the interesting quirk. If I give some of my blood to
15:51
someone, it has the opposite effect.
15:54
The enzymes and various internal parts of the human body attack
16:00
my blood instead of the cyberware, with the knock on
16:04
effect of cyberware being considered part of their body
16:08
for the rest of their life. There isn't a better cure than
16:13
me, but unfortunately I'm also rather fragile and the old
16:20
ticker isn't what it used to be. Thousands of people or some
16:25
fucking guy. I made a choice more than once.
16:32
Third pair of lungs. But of course I'm paying you
16:35
enough to shut the fuck up. I very rarely get to tell people
16:40
about the thing that I do, and I suppose with this secret in
16:45
hand, I'm sure you would have worked it out already.
16:47
There's no point of hiding it. One of you would have snuck into
16:49
the bedroom and read a log or something.
16:53
The people who handed off Glenn to us made it pretty easy,
16:55
actually, which means maybe we can make a deal.
16:59
I don't care about the information so much, but I do
17:01
have a friend who could use some of that bloody ears and we cut
17:05
down the price by three grand and I get a little bit of your
17:11
hemoglobin and I kind of look over at BB.
17:13
It's hemoglobin, right? Yes, it is.
17:16
I guess some of your hemoglobin in exchange.
17:17
And then we leave Glenn here, go about our day and pretend we
17:20
never heard anything and never left our houses tonight.
17:24
How about that? It's fine by me.
17:25
You need to feel good about yourself.
17:27
You know, a life for a life. If I'm honest, what was your
17:32
name? Doesn't matter.
17:36
I value my own existence and in the city like this, those that
17:42
are not augmented are at a disadvantage.
17:46
I somehow have locked down allergic, but useful.
17:52
I've killed hundreds or in the name of saving thousands.
17:56
And if to continue doing my work I have to pay you an extra 3000
18:01
eddies or did you want less? You wanted you wanted to get on
18:04
the list, is that right? That's right.
18:08
Right. Move someone up the list, not
18:11
me. No, obviously you can stand.
18:15
I can smell cybertech rejection from a mile away.
18:19
What are they talking about? I'm not following.
18:24
I kind of turn around to the others and I go.
18:27
I have a a project friend back home who's suffering from this
18:32
projection that this nut case is talking about over here.
18:35
If you'll excuse my language, Sir.
18:38
Excuse. Ghost by the name Calico.
18:41
She's a friend and that's why I'm here trying to find a way to
18:47
get her moved up on the transplant list for Hemat.
18:50
Whatever the fuck. I hope it's OK, it's just taken
18:53
out of my portion. Yeah, I figured you weren't
19:00
doing this just for the money. Why?
19:05
Why Sawtooth sent you? That all makes sense.
19:10
That tracks. Sawtooth smarter than he looks,
19:13
and he knows I can get him people moved if he needs.
19:18
He values me as a team member, and by extension he values
19:21
Calico as my team member. So it's in everyone's best
19:24
interest across the city that I stay functional, and I can't do
19:30
so without Calico. Well.
19:35
So now you get the same burden as I friends.
19:39
Don't call me friend. No thanks.
19:42
Plus you want to be friends, but I hold friends to a much higher
19:44
standard than this. You're going to talk
19:46
professional relationships. He pulls out 12,000 eddies and
19:51
stacks it on the table in a large stack of cash.
19:55
Untraceable, of course. What did we say?
19:58
3000 for the list. He counts out 3000 What's it up
20:04
into a roll, puts a band around it and puts it in his pocket.
20:08
So 1211 ten 10,000 left. No.
20:16
You're off by 1. You are off by 1. 9000 There you
20:23
go. 9000 Eddie slapped. Is your muscle normally this
20:29
stupid? Believe it or not, he's the
20:32
smartest person in the screw. He's right, yeah.
20:37
I invested money with him, he said.
20:41
He's going to double it, triple it in like a couple decades.
20:44
Right, right. And it goes without saying, if
20:46
any of you ever mentioned any of this to anyone, you are dead.
20:49
Sir, I don't know who the fuck you are.
20:53
That's usually how it goes. Good, excellent.
20:58
Now I did request to Med tech. Yes, hello, that would be me.
21:06
Good, he would be so kind. He walks to the back of this
21:11
room and you see this huge window that looks over the sky,
21:15
Thunder and lightning crashing behind this soundproof window.
21:19
You can't hear the Thunder, and there are two medical tables and
21:23
a large machine between them that will mostly do the job.
21:26
However, with Doctor Klass requiring his own heart to be
21:32
replaced, as you have deduced, he needs someone else to do it.
21:37
And so, Vivi, you are now offered a rather interesting
21:42
choice. Do you kill this man to give
21:47
life to Doctor Glass and save your new friend's friend and
21:51
possibly thousands of others? Make a widow and half an orphan,
21:59
maybe more as this man will need likely more organs as his career
22:03
continues. Well, this is not a decision
22:15
Vivi has ever had to make before, but.
22:19
And she doesn't even have time to sit and think about it.
22:22
And. I will say this.
22:24
Well, like she can't sleep on it is what I'm saying.
22:27
She cannot sleep on it, no. So that's why when you're
22:31
presented with these tough choices, sometimes you don't
22:34
have time to sit and think on it and sleep on it.
22:37
You just have to do what your intuition and gut feels like is
22:41
the best choice for the moment. And therefore I'm going to do
22:46
this, I'm going to transplant the heart.
22:50
All right, Doctor Glass lays down Glen's body on one of the
23:00
tables. He points a button at the wall,
23:03
and the door locks behind your wall.
23:05
You're now trapped in this panda and he looks at you, baby.
23:14
Anything funny? Trust me, they're all dead.
23:21
I'm just a doctor trying to do the right thing.
23:24
Yes, the greater good and all of that.
23:27
Yes. And he lies down, and he takes
23:31
the syringe himself. I'll administer this.
23:36
Sticks in his neck. 99 He. Closes his eyes and lays down.
23:45
And the operation ensues. Sorry everybody, you're going to
23:49
have to watch this. It's, we get it, you get a, it's
23:52
one of those live viewings of surgery, so.
23:56
I've I've I've always wanted to see something like this.
24:02
I've I've put you on the sofas in here.
24:03
I'm going. To go find a drink or something
24:10
I. Was going to say if there's a
24:11
bar, cart bridges. Yeah, there's a there's a little
24:14
kitchenette on the West side of this room.
24:17
Can you do that and looking directly at it?
24:20
Miss VV do. You.
24:21
Do you think I can hold the heart before you put it in?
24:26
I've never held a human heart in my hands before.
24:30
As metal as that would be saw and I know that's something you
24:34
would love to achieve. I This is a very important
24:40
surgery and I can't allow that. Do you need surgical tools and
24:44
he'll hold up his right arm. Jesus.
24:48
No, I have everything here. Looks like Doctor Glass was
24:51
prepared for this moment, so he has left all of the proper tools
24:56
and materials that I need. Well, he's, yeah, he's a doctor.
24:59
I hope he would. Yes.
25:01
You all are suddenly shocked by the sound of shaking ice against
25:06
metal, and there in the kitchenette is Devin making a
25:09
cocktail. Yeah, I got.
25:15
You. Roll something creative to see
25:19
if you make a decent drink or not VB You have to roll three
25:24
different medical checks to do this one.
25:27
Oh dear. Cut the heart out of Glenn,
25:29
using the machine to keep it alive. 2 to cut the very broken
25:35
heart that is in Doctor Glass, and three to replace the new
25:38
heart in there. Devin, you've rolled my favorite
25:41
skill in Cyberpunk RED Bureaucracy.
25:45
Yes, roll for. Bureaucracy.
25:48
You're 19, you do really, really well, and you create the most
25:52
amazing sharp martinis you can find some martini glasses and
25:57
you divvy out enough drinks for everyone at the table, setting
26:02
one aside for VB of. Course.
26:08
I do not partake of it in my current state.
26:13
I am going to do Part 1 and get right into it.
26:20
Great, let's see. I will put a left point into
26:26
this. 20 Yes, you put You hook Glenn up to the machine to keep
26:34
his blood flowing, and you pull slowly with careful incision the
26:40
heart out of his body and you put it in the stasis tank inside
26:45
this machine. The only thing keeping Glenn
26:49
alive now is the machine to him, but you can already see his body
26:58
start to attack the tubes that you have added to him.
27:01
So not only has Glenn had his entire DNA changed, he's also
27:08
inherited Dr. Glass's affliction.
27:14
Damn. It doesn't matter if you find
27:16
another heart, Glenn's going to die.
27:21
Well, it's VB kind of represses that.
27:28
I'm going to do therapy after this and it continues forward.
27:35
Everyone sips their martinis. That's the smell of blood fills
27:38
this room. Oh my God.
27:40
Roll again. OK, one of these one at least
27:43
one of these has to be surgery. You can't just do medical tech.
27:46
Oh yes, sorry I forgot that I have that skill.
27:50
It is less so I'm going to put another lock point into this. 17
27:58
I am surprised you have nothing in surgery at this point.
28:01
Yes. Still enough.
28:03
Literally, literally professional by cyberpunk
28:06
standards. You cut open Doctor Glass's
28:09
body, and as you cut it open, you're taken back.
28:16
There is so much scarring in this man, not that so many of
28:22
his organs have been replaced and you can tell he's done this
28:27
over and over and over again. Your scans show that he only can
28:34
take his own DNA as organs. There is no choice in this.
28:39
I've never seen a person like this before.
28:43
This is. Your last chance to stop this
28:51
from happening right now, you can choose which body to put it
28:56
in. You're going to put it in Doctor
28:57
Glass. I'm going to put in Doctor
28:58
Glass, all right? We've got to help people.
29:02
This game doesn't have karma, by the way.
29:03
You're lucky. Yeah, how many, how many stains
29:08
would this be? Oh man.
29:11
This is. Some humanity lost in BTM.
29:14
We didn't know Glenn. For this.
29:17
Look, there's no feelings in business.
29:19
That's how Devin's looking at it.
29:21
I bet his wife doesn't even remember him.
29:23
It's fine. Fuck, you didn't even check, you
29:25
didn't try and find his family he could have.
29:30
Poor Glenn. And you, did you add luck to
29:32
this one as well, Tracy? I imagine you do.
29:34
Yes, my last. Last.
29:38
One or I have two left, but I'm just going to put the I don't
29:41
have. The one into it.
29:42
Cool 13 Yeah, No one is trying to stop you.
29:45
You have all the time in the world to do this.
29:47
And you insert the heart into this man.
29:49
You zip him up with this little special tool, zips him up with a
29:55
bunch of staples, and as your last and final act before you
30:03
wake up Doctor Glass, you have to unplug Glenn.
30:09
Yeah, I'm sorry Glenn, but did she takes a glass the glass that
30:19
Devin left and takes a drink and just cheers it to to Glenn and
30:26
then. You you see Sauce put the olive
30:29
on his index finger and he's just waving it at you.
30:34
She just, she just pat saw on the head and and then she yeah,
30:42
she finishes it. You flip a switch from the
30:46
machine and you hear Glenn's heartbeat turn into a single
30:51
tone, eventually turning off the machine as the noise starts to
30:55
grate at you, not only at your ears, but also your mind and
31:00
your own heart. Damn.
31:03
You take the extra syringe that's there.
31:08
You stick it into Doctor Glass's neck and he'll wake up over the
31:11
next few minutes. Well, it's done.
31:16
He's he should wake up in the next couple of minutes.
31:20
The heart is in and he's stable. Vitals all look good.
31:27
So that's the that's the end of the deal I guess.
31:33
Job well done everybody. OK, he's excellent work doctor.
31:43
Yeah, Vivi. Dr. Vivi.
31:48
As he coughs, a little bit of blood comes through his
31:50
incision. Oh.
31:52
Yeah, you've got a lot of scar tissue and oh, does he take.
32:00
It's my blood. Do you?
32:03
Have a grateful ownership for that.
32:05
Yeah, I have to eat a lot of meat, keep all the organs
32:10
healed. He turns around on the on the
32:16
Gurney, flips around and puts his feet on the ground.
32:19
All. Right.
32:22
Pushes a button, the front door unlocks.
32:27
This is a bit right now to see you again.
32:30
Can I can I use your bathroom real quick?
32:33
I gotta pee. Yes, Barky, meet me a martini.
32:42
Yes, you, the one in the suit. Oh, absolutely.
32:49
Come on. Shake, shake, chop, chop.
32:55
All right, fix it. Here's your money.
32:58
Who am I bringing to the top of the list?
33:00
I mean, the moniker is Calico. The real name is Kaylee
33:05
Stoutenheimer. He grabs a pair of glasses from
33:08
his pocket and he looks at you. I don't have an internal agent,
33:12
he. Pushes it and starts to move his
33:14
hands through the air. Oh yes, the poor one.
33:19
Well, OK, the one who's a friend of mine.
33:22
And you watch him pulls a name and invisibly moves it up.
33:28
You assume some sort of list. You could of course some what.
33:36
He takes the name and you watch him delete it, takes a syringe,
33:42
sticks it into his arm and the syringe is huge and he starts to
33:50
fill it with about a pint of blood.
33:53
For you to do right after a heart transplant.
33:56
It's not my first, I just won't do any running for the next hour
34:00
or so. I'll have all of the blood back
34:02
in about a day. One customer a day.
34:09
This is all I need. Here you go.
34:13
Make sure it doesn't have bubbles.
34:15
Good luck. Thank you.
34:21
You'll need a doctor to administer it.
34:28
I just kind of like look over at Vivi.
34:31
I think I have one who might owe me a favour.
34:34
Good thing you know 1. Speaking of owing, don't.
34:36
Try and replicate the blood, it won't work, trust me.
34:41
Otherwise I would have just siphoned it out of this man
34:44
corpse. Sorry motherfucker.
34:47
All right. And then my fucking apartment.
34:53
And while sauce in his bathroom, soft kisses all over the
34:57
bathroom. Yeah, fuck you.
35:05
You go go scum. I hate your ass.
35:08
Yeah, he's just covering the entire bathroom.
35:11
The thing you notice about this bathroom is it's really high up
35:14
this building and as you're taking a piss you turn to your
35:18
right and there's just a big floor to ceiling window you can
35:23
see over the city. This is the grandest piss you
35:25
have ever done. And it feels great.
35:30
It's fantastic. Yeah, and as you finish your
35:36
excretion, you move back into the main room and hear the end
35:39
of that last sentence where he says.
35:41
Get the fuck out of my apartment.
35:45
All right, time to go. You make your way out of the
35:49
apartment, out into the city, now much richer but perhaps a
35:55
little heavier. I took a piss all over his
36:01
bathroom. Oh good.
36:03
It's going to take days to clean all that.
36:05
I was holding it all night. So you're one of the smartest
36:12
men I know. I know.
36:14
You told me that all night. I know, I know.
36:18
Eventually it became true. Anyway, here's your 2000 baby.
36:22
Here's your 3. Thank you.
36:26

36:35
doing business with you. And that concludes No Latency
