  Last time on no latency. Jeff, these drones are shooting
• 0:06
  at me. I'll take out the drones.
• 0:07
  Shoot, That's what it's doing. Everybody yells full.
• 0:10
  Sprint. Focus on the robot man.
• 0:13
  I will stay behind this bent I'll touch.
• 0:15
  That one, at least. For now.
• 0:16
  We won't let your dad, Doc. Don't worry 2.
• 0:18
  I'm totally fine. Mommy's mad.
• 0:20
  I'm on a new high now. It's called adrenaline.
• 0:23
  And my eyebrows go. Listen.
• 0:25
  Oh my God, they've turned Jeff into an alien.
• 0:26
  You have to play nice, Yeah, well, you don't get to play at
• 0:29
  all. Damn it, baby, you beat me to
• 0:31
  the kneecapping. You're in time out.
• 0:33
  Yeah. You get them, guy.
• 0:34
  Remy stop. Did I just hear somebody click
• 0:38
  fucking cock at me? Remy.
• 0:40
  I think it's called a hammer, you guys.
• 0:42
  Does Hyonas smoke? Holy shit.
• 0:43
  What you guys doing there? I'm glad you're back.
• 0:46
  Maybe I'll get cybernetic eyebrows.
• 0:47
  What do y'all think about that? I.
• 1:00
  Really don't remember any of that.
• 1:02
  Like you wandering off on your own, killing the drones, making
• 1:08
  all those hombre puns. I I don't.
• 1:12
  I no, I don't know any about that, hombre.
• 1:15
  I mean you're all my my friends. I don't remember much of it,
• 1:21
  honestly. Actually, it's kind of hard to
• 1:22
  remember back to I remember the test.
• 1:26
  The test that was so long ago. That was like, you know, like
• 1:32
  come on 20-30 minutes ago, yo, come on, not that far away.
• 1:37
  We've explored nearly this entire facility since then.
• 1:41
  Oh shit. Yes.
• 1:44
  Do you remember what? Can I say but oops.
• 1:47
  You you encrypted files for us? That's true.
• 1:51
  I mean, I know how to encrypt files when I'm high.
• 1:53
  I'm usually better when I'm high.
• 1:55
  Or de encrypted, I should say unencrypted.
• 1:58
  What's? The.
• 1:59
  Decrypt. Decrypted.
• 2:02
  That's. Actually a different story.
• 2:03
  I'm not as good. But do you remember the
• 2:05
  batteries? Yeah, I I do need to pick up
• 2:08
  some AAA batteries when I get home.
• 2:10
  Oh no. Oh boy.
• 2:13
  It's it's people. It's people.
• 2:16
  No, the AAA's are people. That's the thing that you got to
• 2:19
  remember. There's there's no thermal vent.
• 2:22
  They're using people to come over them.
• 2:24
  What? What?
• 2:25
  What are you, Donald talking about do?
• 2:27
  You remember during the exam we got assigned to Abbott and
• 2:30
  Thermal. Remember that you were there.
• 2:32
  You said you remembered the exam, right?
• 2:34
  That's before we went in the elevator, So that's before there
• 2:36
  was pressure, right? VV.
• 2:37
  That's got to be how it works. I mean, the last thing I
• 2:39
  remember is taking the test is, that's what I'm saying, OK, so
• 2:43
  they're putting people into AAA batteries now.
• 2:45
  That's that's interesting. Exactly right.
• 2:48
  Yeah, but only in this facility. Facility was powered by AAA
• 2:52
  batteries. That's.
• 2:53
  Correct. That's right.
• 2:55
  It's over 70,000 people. 70. 1000 AAA battery, I mean, I I
• 3:00
  mean AAA that's. Yeah, that's 70,000 people.
• 3:03
  Retro. Yeah.
• 3:04
  Who? Knows I mean AAA battery there.
• 3:06
  It is Jeb, and I saw it. It was horrible.
• 3:09
  Oh yeah, I'm scarred for that. It is very bad.
• 3:17
  So they're turning people into AAA batteries and then they're
• 3:21
  using them to then power this. No, they're they're not even
• 3:25
  bothering turning them into batteries.
• 3:26
  They're just plugging their bodies in and sucking the power
• 3:29
  as they need. Oh, so they're energy vampires.
• 3:32
  I got you vampires. OK.
• 3:38
  Anybody have a cross? I mean, I can stand.
• 3:42
  I can stand. You have really had a tolerance
• 3:45
  break, haven't you? Because you are so stoned right
• 3:49
  now. I don't know what you're
• 3:51
  meaning. Look.
• 3:53
  Look at his eyes. Look at him.
• 3:55
  You're so red. You're never this red.
• 3:58
  You've got your your little the little red rings around your
• 4:02
  eyeballs. Oh, hold on and I'll just, I'll
• 4:04
  just turn down my RGB so that way.
• 4:08
  It's just. It's just it's just black.
• 4:10
  It's just black and white, Yeah. I'm I'm going even more retro
• 4:15
  mode now. It's just black and white.
• 4:16
  There you go. That's better.
• 4:16
  Well. Basically, retro.
• 4:19
  This place is fucked. That's one way to put it.
• 4:24
  And sounds like normal, we just killed 2.
• 4:28
  Killed two what? Yeah, you that's.
• 4:31
  You. Two.
• 4:32
  No, sorry, I already did that one.
• 4:35
  Yeah, exactly. No, but Retro you you kicked see
• 4:39
  the ball over there, the the dead AI ball.
• 4:43
  Oh yeah. Wow.
• 4:43
  Who did that? You did?
• 4:45
  You kicked it really, really hard.
• 4:47
  Oh. It was pretty cool.
• 4:50
  Really. Yeah.
• 4:51
  Yep. Yeah.
• 4:52
  Man, that must have been like some like, real repressed shit.
• 4:55
  Because to be honest, like those things fucking creep me out and
• 4:58
  pissed me off a lot. So that's yeah, that's some real
• 5:03
  unrepressed, bridled rage thing. How the fuck did that happen?
• 5:08
  You certainly were acting with some high levels of paranoia and
• 5:17
  anxiety, so that probably was acted out on, said AII.
• 5:23
  Mean. I'm typically high.
• 5:24
  So I mean, I guess that makes sense.
• 5:26
  I never been like, fuck, what the hell was I smoking to be on
• 5:29
  that? I might anyone's guess.
• 5:32
  We're glad that you're. Back.
• 5:34
  To your normal self now. Retro, do you want to get back
• 5:40
  into the spirit? Maybe loot a body that'll cheer
• 5:44
  you up? You like doing that?
• 5:45
  All right. Yeah, I'm going to loot the
• 5:48
  closest human body next to me. What you got on you?
• 5:51
  Pat? Pat.
• 5:52
  Pat. I'm.
• 5:52
  I'm going to loot this one. Don't don't worry, Iona.
• 5:56
  I'll the one. I'll be the one to get dirty.
• 5:58
  I just crawled through a vent. I don't know if you saw that.
• 6:01
  I I mean, if you want, if you want to dig through the body,
• 6:03
  you can. No, no.
• 6:05
  It's missing a head. No, thank you.
• 6:08
  Wait, Iona's going through dirt and grime and you're saying I'm
• 6:12
  the one that's being weird now? What the fuck's going on?
• 6:15
  If I'm on his retro I, I. I might have his penis have.
• 6:21
  My penis. No, no, no.
• 6:23
  Retro, I, I, I, I think Iona did that to save you.
• 6:30
  Don't. Don't.
• 6:31
  Grabbed his penis to save him? No.
• 6:33
  Not your penis. I'm trying to have a sweet
• 6:34
  moment with you, Retro. Oh crap crap.
• 6:36
  No, go ahead. Fuck off.
• 6:37
  Yeah, I heard. Yeah, Jeb walks away to the
• 6:40
  corner and just kind of looks in the corner.
• 6:44
  Except these guys. These.
• 6:45
  American. Eyebrows.
• 6:49
  Big eyebrows. I I think.
• 6:53
  I think Iona crawled through Event for you.
• 6:56
  So. If we're going to talk about
• 7:02
  mind blowers today, I think that's the biggest one.
• 7:05
  Yeah, I know, right? But don't.
• 7:06
  But don't let them know, because the fact that you don't remember
• 7:09
  is like, genuinely their MO. You know so.
• 7:13
  I can't promise that. Anyway, what did you find?
• 7:17
  You didn't roll? I don't know yet.
• 7:20
  Oh, I'm supposed to roll for Vendel?
• 7:22
  Yes, you are. Oh really?
• 7:27
  Sometimes I forget that they're not their own person.
• 7:30
  I'm going to take that as a compliment.
• 7:34
  What I'll? Roll.
• 7:36
  Perception. It's exceptions.
• 7:38
  Underwear. Bureaucracy.
• 7:39
  I mean, you're telling them to do it.
• 7:41
  Inception 11? Yeah, what about you?
• 7:43
  Retro 18? Good.
• 7:46
  Anyone else? I'm looking at a wall.
• 7:49
  Oh. Sure.
• 7:50
  No perception. I smell something.
• 7:52
  That's a good point. Yeah, right.
• 7:53
  Real perception. I forgot I got a 19 on paint
• 7:56
  draw sculpt for those eyebrows. Yeah, they're really good, by
• 7:59
  the way. Yeah, VV You reach down next to
• 8:03
  the one of the bodies and you're looking at it.
• 8:06
  It's missing a head. It it was one of the doctors,
• 8:10
  one of the researchers for this facility and in their top lapel
• 8:14
  pocket you find gonna roll 4 doses of synth coke. 4 doses of
• 8:24
  synth. Coke.
• 8:25
  Now you rolled high enough that no one else has noticed that you
• 8:28
  did this. Man, this doctor.
• 8:32
  Was. High on synth coke.
• 8:36
  I mean what? What was that, Phoebe?
• 8:40
  Nothing. What'd?
• 8:42
  You say nothing. You.
• 8:44
  Find something over there. This doctor is really a sad, is
• 8:50
  what I was saying. Oh, wow.
• 8:53
  OK. So we'll.
• 8:55
  Pour one out for him, Yeah, Just make sure you get his name down
• 8:58
  so we can get drop one for him at the bar.
• 9:00
  Yeah, I I I didn't find much. I only rolled in 11.
• 9:03
  I found 15 eddies but retro. It looks like you found an audio
• 9:08
  file. Oh, sweet.
• 9:10
  I wonder who it is. It's like a mix, you know?
• 9:13
  Sometimes when you find these, they're like mixtapes.
• 9:15
  What was Who was that? And you look down and you've
• 9:18
  been rummaging through a security officer.
• 9:20
  What's left of him and you find this audio chip.
• 9:23
  Oh, oh, hey, Jeff. Oh, what?
• 9:29
  Kyle, real quick. Oh yeah, sure.
• 9:32
  Jeb, as you're walking back towards retro, you rolled A-15,
• 9:37
  which is higher than Vendel, so you found 30 eddies stuck to the
• 9:40
  bottom of your foot. It is, however, covered in
• 9:42
  blood. So roll.
• 9:44
  Resist torture. Drugs.
• 9:48
  Man, these these Eddies. Yeah, it's got Johnny Silver
• 9:51
  hand on the on the front. You rolled high enough.
• 9:53
  You do not have to lick the dollar bills if you do not want.
• 9:56
  I do smell it though. It does smell like BBQ sauce.
• 9:59
  And oh wait, hold on, hold on. That's the universe door.
• 10:04
  That's all negative. Jeb, you're walking with now 30
• 10:07
  Eddies in your hand towards retro and this and this thing in
• 10:11
  his hand. Oh yeah, here, here's the here's
• 10:13
  the tile. Now be careful, because last
• 10:15
  time I did a little roll, I did kind of snap the the.
• 10:19
  It's a little bit more broken now, so just be careful.
• 10:23
  Yeah, sure. OK.
• 10:25
  Don't cut yourself. Remy, we'll go ahead and take a
• 10:28
  take the tile from jab and just rip the back off and put the
• 10:32
  audio file in. OK, the.
• 10:37
  Whole place is quiet on the whole floor.
• 10:40
  There's no one here. I took a crawl around some of
• 10:45
  the vents and I I swear I saw a ball with legs.
• 10:52
  What are they doing down here? A ball with legs.
• 10:57
  Oh, that must have been. 2. Two because two was was had a
• 11:03
  had a humanoid form that he had kind of, you know pasted
• 11:07
  together with all kinds of different Makai body parts.
• 11:11
  Very Einstein esque. Sorry, Einstein.
• 11:14
  That's that's not right. Frank.
• 11:17
  Einstein. That's it.
• 11:19
  That's it. Oh, I thought you were talking
• 11:20
  about Frank Einstein, who we caught, you know, several years
• 11:24
  ago. They were putting all those
• 11:26
  cyber parts together that build people.
• 11:28
  Yeah, also, famously Einstein's great, great, great, great
• 11:31
  cousin. Right, so.
• 11:34
  Well, we should probably go check on Doctor Ombre so to make
• 11:38
  sure that they're not dead all. Right, let's go check on Dom,
• 11:42
  the Doctor Omlet, let's go. Oh wow.
• 11:46
  It went a long way. I don't remember.
• 11:48
  Any all by yourself too. You, you wandered off all by
• 11:52
  yourself and you went a very long way.
• 11:55
  Oh wow, there's a dead drone in here.
• 11:57
  What the hell? What happened there?
• 11:58
  And another. Yeah, you used that to find too.
• 12:00
  It was really cool. Man, maybe I should be passed
• 12:04
  out more often. That sounds pretty cool when I'm
• 12:06
  doing. That maybe you were a different
• 12:08
  consciousness when you were, you know go having all those doing
• 12:13
  all that for the past. I don't know Episode and 1/2.
• 12:16
  Yeah, it was. It was pretty upsetting
• 12:18
  actually, if I'm honest. You're right, he was having an
• 12:21
  episode. But like, do you do you think
• 12:25
  that, like, you know it was a do you think it was like a separate
• 12:28
  entity, like a separate person? Or do you think it was?
• 12:32
  Did you just forget, you know what I mean?
• 12:34
  I. I think it was probably a part
• 12:37
  of him that has been locked deep down.
• 12:39
  That's what I think too. I think he might.
• 12:41
  It might be kind of a sick personality, you know?
• 12:43
  Oh, I thought you were saying, like I got possessed by some
• 12:45
  kind of evil ghost. Or that we don't know.
• 12:49
  Underwater ghosts. Oh, yes.
• 12:53
  As you walk into the research office there, Doctor Ombre still
• 12:59
  sits in the pod. They look a lot paler, and
• 13:02
  there's a faint beeping coming from the machine.
• 13:07
  It is a medical, oh, kind of beeping that VB recognizes.
• 13:11
  Ombre, you all right? I will go over and check them
• 13:19
  out. Hello, Doctor.
• 13:22
  What? Oh God.
• 13:23
  Doctor. Doctor.
• 13:26
  What's going on here? I can't.
• 13:30
  I can't reach the screen. I can't see it.
• 13:33
  Do you know what it says? I look over to the screen.
• 13:38
  Prognosis. Chemical.
• 13:40
  Oh no and. They cough up blood in front of
• 13:44
  you. Oh fuck it's.
• 13:47
  That's not good. Oh.
• 13:48
  No, these reports are saying they're saying it's terminal.
• 13:56
  Yeah, it's all right. I'll do it.
• 13:57
  And I and I take out my pistol and I cock it.
• 14:00
  No, no, no. Wait, not yet.
• 14:05
  I mean, you got to let him have a choice first.
• 14:07
  Jeb, come on. Hold on.
• 14:08
  Hold on, Jeb. Nice.
• 14:09
  All right, all right. I'm.
• 14:10
  Just trying to do the right thing.
• 14:14
  Consent's important. I should have got into media.
• 14:17
  Is there my partner session? Is there anything we can do to
• 14:22
  make this a bit more comfortable for you right now?
• 14:26
  I can't feel my legs. Oh, I can help with that.
• 14:30
  Hold on. I'm.
• 14:31
  I'm going to hand on the rest of my joint.
• 14:33
  Here you go. Yeah.
• 14:34
  Here try that. Will you light it?
• 14:38
  Yeah, sure. So, Doctor, how much longer do I
• 14:43
  have? I assess what is on the on the
• 14:49
  screen and read their prognosis. So you've rolled first aid with
• 14:54
  a crit -2, but you've still got a 15 and you rolled Medical Tech
• 14:58
  22. You give her a proper
• 15:00
  examination, like a really good examination, and you rolled over
• 15:03
  20. And as you examine her, you look
• 15:05
  down and her body from the waist down has fused with the pod.
• 15:11
  Within the computer you can see that she used an unknown to the
• 15:15
  pods compound to keep herself alive in the pod, and you
• 15:18
  suspect it's the experiment she was talking about.
• 15:21
  Well, your lower half has been fused to the pod.
• 15:28
  Oh fuck, I use too much. Yeah.
• 15:32
  But I'm sorry, there's no easy way to say it.
• 15:38
  It's maybe a few hours. Yeah, OK.
• 15:44
  Do you want us to put you down or do you want to sit here?
• 15:48
  I don't want to die alone, but I do want to finish this joint.
• 15:52
  This is really good weed guy with TV head.
• 15:55
  Yeah, right. It's like some of my Primo
• 15:57
  stuff. I think I forgot it in my bag.
• 15:59
  That's like the best lost supper ever.
• 16:03
  Cheesy puffs in a excellent drug.
• 16:06
  Thank you. Oh yeah, Cyberpunk is fat.
• 16:09
  Yeah. Well, I mean, if I'm dead to the
• 16:12
  world, I guess you could ask me anything you want.
• 16:15
  Oh cool, Amai. Don't fucking care anymore.
• 16:19
  Great. Where can we find the compound
• 16:22
  that that you've been experimenting with?
• 16:25
  Oh, you mean body fuel? Whole game.
• 16:28
  Yes. And it's a biotechnical project,
• 16:33
  but they just had body fuel gain which gave you mass.
• 16:37
  But ours let you hold on to PR marketing out of field day, I
• 16:42
  mean. It's, it's catchy.
• 16:47
  It's all hail, I'll tell you. Yeah, yeah.
• 16:50
  But there it was just adjusted body fuel.
• 16:53
  So it's a, it's a. It's a compound that when
• 16:56
  applied. The.
• 16:58
  The. Flesh in the machine don't
• 17:00
  reject each other. Ever.
• 17:03
  If I had enough of it I could infuse my legs, but I've been
• 17:07
  fused for a long time so I need new ones.
• 17:11
  And also, according to this doctor, I'm I'm not along for
• 17:15
  this world. The rest of the compound is down
• 17:17
  with the the armour, the body frame, stuff in the bottom of
• 17:23
  the facility. We bring it up when we need it.
• 17:28
  What? What room is that?
• 17:30
  Oh, it's in a big tank. They bring it to us in a small
• 17:33
  VAT, so you'll find a tank down there.
• 17:36
  Now, do you have any idea on how we could blow this place to
• 17:39
  hell? Well, you'd have to activate the
• 17:41
  CAD system, which is a lot harder without custodian.
• 17:45
  Oh, will, you will not be able to.
• 17:47
  Oh wait, I mean, the custodian's still around.
• 17:49
  It's just not operational, you understand?
• 17:54
  So you killed the Custodian, right?
• 17:57
  Yes, yeah. Can you kill Sultan?
• 18:00
  Mate was never alive. No, it was alive.
• 18:03
  We gave it a body and everything.
• 18:04
  Did you fucking kill it? Yeah, we killed two.
• 18:07
  We killed two of them, right? No, that's his designation.
• 18:12
  You smoked this. I get why you don't get that.
• 18:15
  Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. No, the only other person I
• 18:17
  think you might know how to run the cads is Doctor Abbott.
• 18:21
  They might have a. Backup AI or something.
• 18:22
  I don't know. They're fairly brilliant.
• 18:25
  The only reason they came to work here I'll.
• 18:27
  Be the judge of that. Is Doctor Abbott locked down
• 18:31
  here? I imagine.
• 18:34
  Do you think that they did the same thing that you did and
• 18:37
  parted up? No, their their tech is all
• 18:41
  mostly tech based. So the the neural interface with
• 18:45
  the machines and making that like human, that's their
• 18:48
  expertise. They they got really big in BDS,
• 18:52
  they were very, very realistic, lots of really good training
• 18:56
  ship. It's almost like you're there.
• 18:59
  What? What's the?
• 19:01
  What's the best way to find them?
• 19:02
  Like, do they have an office? Do they have like a they?
• 19:04
  Have a lab? Did you not see the map?
• 19:07
  No. They're in the Abbot lab.
• 19:10
  Oh, the Abbot lab, Yeah. I have AI have an Abbot lab pass
• 19:13
  in my locker over there and you can have my gun.
• 19:17
  Oh, thank God. I thought we were going to have
• 19:18
  to find like one of their helpers or something.
• 19:22
  Cool. Yeah.
• 19:25
  All right, I'll, I'll go to that.
• 19:26
  I'll go to that locker. Where's that at?
• 19:29
  I'm going to start open in every locker.
• 19:31
  You open a bunch of lockers, Most of them are filled with
• 19:33
  like boring ass paperwork. There's a lot of paperwork in
• 19:37
  here. You run it through it, you find
• 19:39
  an extra 20 eddies for your searching and because you're
• 19:41
  safe. And then you find Doctor Ombre's
• 19:45
  locker and it says Doctor Alice Ombre.
• 19:47
  And inside the locker you find an another Abbott pass and a gun
• 19:53
  marked the bolter. The bolter, OK.
• 19:57
  It's small and seems to take a battery as a magazine.
• 20:01
  Is this what they're putting people into guns?
• 20:03
  No, it's an It's like an electric gun.
• 20:06
  It's fries tech. Oh.
• 20:08
  It's pretty good. Yeah.
• 20:10
  Well then, I'm not going to look down the barrel of this one.
• 20:12
  It's not very strong, but it'll it'll, you know, do some stuff
• 20:15
  to tech. It's pretty cool.
• 20:16
  The GM is not going to tell you what it does until you shoot it,
• 20:19
  so. And they stub out the joint on
• 20:22
  the side of their pod. They spit out more blood.
• 20:28
  Are you ready to go? Yeah, whatever you do, don't
• 20:35
  take body fuel. Oh, you should feel funny.
• 20:37
  Yeah, I I couldn't talk to that. What?
• 20:42
  No, I I I was I was one of the the test subjects.
• 20:45
  Yeah, you have to sign the thing.
• 20:46
  Shut the fuck up. Oh, NDA bro.
• 20:48
  NDA. Sorry, all I'm saying is that
• 20:51
  don't do it all right? I I I agree.
• 20:54
  I can't really go back on that one cowboy man.
• 20:57
  But. Neither can I.
• 20:59
  At least we stopped that fucking custodian from getting out.
• 21:03
  Amen. Is there anything you want us to
• 21:07
  do for you before anything you want to pass on?
• 21:12
  Just tell Sasha I loved it. Sure you you you got their
• 21:16
  number, we can send them a quick message.
• 21:18
  Right now, there's no. Signal down here, cowboy.
• 21:21
  Right. Don't worry, we'll find Sasha
• 21:24
  take. Care.
• 21:25
  Yeah, Y'all. Got Wi-Fi down here though.
• 21:28
  Jeff, why don't you go ahead and do your job now.
• 21:32
  My job? Yeah, it's Jeff takes out his
• 21:35
  gun. All right, Point to that, Doctor
• 21:38
  Ombre. Hey, it was nasty when you Doc.
• 21:42
  Yeah, you too. Try not to die.
• 21:46
  I'd say you too, but here we are.
• 21:50
  Bye. Roll for it.
• 21:53
  What? Please don't miss I'm.
• 21:56
  Going to make him roll. No.
• 21:58
  It's it's literally a coup de grace.
• 22:01
  You have. You have now put that in the in
• 22:03
  the space though. Now binary.
• 22:05
  Thank you. At a death blow?
• 22:06
  Yeah, coup de grace. All right. 25.
• 22:10
  Look at the damage, though. That did explode.
• 22:12
  Well, there you go. There's the answer, Jeb.
• 22:14
  You put the gun against the head, you pull the trigger, and
• 22:17
  a bullet goes straight through their temple.
• 22:20
  You hit for 25 and their neck clicks back, and you hear it
• 22:24
  crack. At the same time, Nikilo the
• 22:26
  dead, and the machine gives off a final error.
• 22:29
  And in a solemn moment, Vendel turns off the alarm.
• 22:36
  Thank you, Vendel. You're welcome.
• 22:39
  We did the Rat League there, right?
• 22:42
  Yes. OK, they asked for it.
• 22:45
  It was a mercy. Well, I suppose we should find
• 22:52
  Doctor Abbott and the tank. We definitely need to find the
• 22:56
  tank. Yeah, we should keep going and
• 22:59
  going and going and going now. We're we're still blowing this
• 23:04
  place up, right? Yes, after we get the body frame
• 23:08
  and body fuel hold gain. Wait a minute.
• 23:12
  Why do we want that? For Domino.
• 23:15
  Oh. Yes.
• 23:18
  So that way we can make Domino a real boy.
• 23:22
  A real boy, yes. I see.
• 23:26
  Just a little guy. He's just going to be a little
• 23:29
  guy. He's just going to be a little
• 23:31
  guy. Going to give a little legs,
• 23:34
  little hands. Oh God, I'm out of.
• 23:37
  Here I'm walking out. Little toes, little ass, little
• 23:42
  nose was. That the elevator?
• 23:44
  I thought it was a closet. You don't think I know what an
• 23:47
  elevator looks like? I I I probably have designed
• 23:51
  this place. You know the large elevator in
• 23:55
  the world for a long time was the the beginning of the Haunted
• 24:02
  Mansion rat in Walt. Isn't that?
• 24:08
  What? That's true.
• 24:10
  You know, a lot of old timey. Facts.
• 24:14
  It's Solica. I live in the past.
• 24:18
  I I scanned the Abbott pass in the elevator.
• 24:21

• 25:38
  OK, Abbott Lab, What's the say on the ground here?
• 25:44
  Very gently leave the elevator. Restricted access not for us, am
• 25:48
  I right? And I give I own a high 5.

• 26:00
  High five. I love high fives.
• 26:03
  I can't resist a high 5. My never can I.
• 26:06
  It's my weakness. If anyone finds out, it's kind
• 26:10
  of like my Achilles heel. Someone just raises their hand.
• 26:12
  Even the middle of a gunfight, they raise their hand.
• 26:14
  I'm coming for a high 5. And your other weaknesses is
• 26:17
  flesh. Yeah, and and my emotional
• 26:22
  connection to the people I love. That's nice.
• 26:28
  So you step out into this first corridor of the Abbott Lab
• 26:33
  floor. In front of you are a few
• 26:38
  crates. Further down the corridor are a
• 26:40
  few vending machines. And even further to the South,
• 26:43
  in the very corner before the corridor takes a little left
• 26:46
  turn, are two red sofas. You know, honestly, I didn't
• 26:51
  even realize till this very moment, but I could really go
• 26:55
  for a nap and those red sofas look comfy.
• 27:00
  I'm going to be honest, Jeb, you probably don't want to trust any
• 27:02
  sofas. What?
• 27:06
  Why? I mean it looks comfy enough.
• 27:09
  Past experienced. I'm, I'm, I'm like, Jeb like
• 27:12
  puts his hand on the cushion, kind of pushes down on it.
• 27:15
  How does it feel? Romy 3D10.
• 27:18
  Oh, you found more spider silk? Yeah, that ain't bad.
• 27:22
  You find 16 eddies. Oh, ah, there's always cash in
• 27:26
  between the seat cushions. I should know.
• 27:30
  Why do I always have the bad luck when it comes to clutches?
• 27:33
  Vendel are Are you feeling all right?
• 27:35
  You don't look very good. What do you mean?
• 27:40
  If I had to evaluate you, your HP is low.
• 27:44
  Oh, do you need help Vendel? I can patch you up real quick if
• 27:49
  we have the time. Well, it might be a good idea.
• 27:53
  Yeah, actually it'll only take a few minutes.
• 27:56
  OK. I mean there are there are
• 27:58
  couches here, but you all go for it.
• 28:01
  I'm I'm nervous being near couches anymore.
• 28:04
  What? What's the couch fear again?
• 28:10
  That's. That's personal.
• 28:11
  Couch A phobia. Yeah, that's personal.
• 28:13
  Yeah, I I I I wasn't there. So oh.
• 28:19
  Can you listen to season one of Excuse?
• 28:23
  Mansion I There you go. You should be feeling better.
• 28:28
  Oh, I do feel better. That's like how?
• 28:35
  Much HP. Oh, danger girl.
• 28:38
  That's means a six. That's good danger.
• 28:42
  No more. Oh, another six.
• 28:45
  So 12, 15HP. Pretty good, Bendel.
• 28:51
  Lot of HPI did 3D6 so because you rolled. 20 a lot. 21, yeah.
• 28:56
  What a bit? Oh, I didn't realize I was so
• 29:00
  low. Yeah, I guess.
• 29:05
  I guess you did take quite a few hits in our last scuffle.
• 29:11
  Rough and tumble. Yeah, I'm the rough and tumble
• 29:13
  one. That's your.
• 29:16
  Retro roll perception. Oh shit.
• 29:20
  Lookout. Couch.
• 29:22
  Is coming after me the couch. Is a mimic.
• 29:26
  And oh God, Can you imagine? Yes. 12 That's not very good.
• 29:32
  I'm high, what do you expect? This is true.
• 29:36
  Oh no, Jeff the couch is actually a mimic.
• 29:38
  Get out of there. What?
• 29:41
  Oh, anyone else who wants to look around?
• 29:42
  Also Rob. Perception.
• 29:44
  Retro. You are fixated by the sofa and
• 29:46
  find nothing. Oh, I'm I'm not touching that
• 29:50
  fucking thing. Oh, Jeb's going to go ahead and
• 29:52
  lay down on the couch and put his cowboy hat over his face.
• 29:55
  Are you lying down on the sofa that you grabbed money from, or
• 29:57
  the other one? The one I grabbed money from?
• 29:59
  It's the one I'm already closest to.
• 30:00
  OK, so you lie down on the sofa Iona, you're disgusted by Jeb
• 30:05
  lying down on the sofa, and you take a few steps back and with
• 30:07
  your 22 crit perception, you see on the north side of this
• 30:14
  corridor that there is a hidden ish door in the wall.
• 30:19
  And upon closer inspection, you see that the word maintenance
• 30:23
  has been badly embossed on this wall panel does.
• 30:28
  This actually feel like a maintenance closet.
• 30:32
  Yes, there is. There's a panel here.
• 30:36
  This door wasn't very well hidden if there was a panel in
• 30:39
  front of it. And it sounds like it's labeled,
• 30:42
  so our headache could be. 4774. It opens and as the door opens,
• 30:52
  you look out into this room and it's illuminated by a window On
• 30:57
  the outside and against the window is a body sat up on the
• 31:03
  ground, legs spread open, a bullet wound in their abdomen,
• 31:07
  and a Network 54 lanyard around their neck.
• 31:14
  Window. Can you read the lanyard for me?
• 31:16
  Sasha blindside. Fuck me.
• 31:21
  No. And as you walk closer towards
• 31:26
  this body, in their hand is a bloody audio chip.
• 31:30
  No. Oh, it's poor thing.
• 31:36
  Gosh, do we want to? Take a listen to this, Jeb.
• 31:40
  Would you mind playing it? What drive?
• 31:44
  Oh. Sorry Jeff, I've yeah.
• 31:47
  There's a dead body in here. Don't.
• 31:50
  There's dead bodges everywhere. Jeff, like, slowly gets off the
• 31:52
  couch and rubs his eyes. Comes over.
• 31:55
  Yeah, what do you guys need? And as you step in, you're quite
• 31:59
  taken by this image. There's this dead body in
• 32:01
  silhouette as you look out into the endless depths of the ocean.
• 32:05
  Oh, James. Oh, do we know this first?
• 32:12
  This was Doctor Ombre's lover. Oh, Doctor Ombre, yeah.
• 32:23
  And there's an audio chip. Oh, I suppose you want me to put
• 32:27
  it in my thing. Could you put it in your thing
• 32:30
  please? So yeah man, you really got to
• 32:34
  get this screen fixed. Think I would, Connor.
• 32:46
  I got shot. I think this is where I die.
• 32:50
  My name is Sasha Blindside, and I'm a Internet Network 54.
• 32:57
  This is my last report. If anyone finds these
• 33:00
  recordings, blow it up. Blow the whole Dang thing up.
• 33:06
  Fuck the trolley problem. They're all lost.
• 33:08
  What they're doing down here is unholy, but no one needs to know
• 33:13
  there is a report. Only darkness comes from what I.
• 33:16
  Found down here. There's a vent to the east in
• 33:19
  this room. I think it'll get you to the
• 33:22
  Abbott lab. That fucking happen.
• 33:25
  I couldn't get in. Her and a frog.
• 33:28
  It's all their fault. If you find this, tell Alice I
• 33:34
  love her. This has been there like 54
• 33:40
  under it. That's heartbreaking.
• 33:48
  Shine day and sun. Next time on No.
• 34:03
  Latency. Also, I didn't know that Frog
• 34:08
  was a scientist. Here.
• 34:10
  I thought that the Frog Lab was legitimately a lab full of
• 34:13
  frogs. Best we blow this place to hell,
• 34:16
  huh? They said that there was a vent.
• 34:18
  Wait a second. Did you hurt your leg?
• 34:20
  I don't know how I got. That.
• 34:22
  Oh my gosh. Water beasts.
• 34:25
  No, we got the hell out of there.
• 34:26
  It had a tongue. Beyond the bruising jab, let's
• 34:29
  see if you fractured anything. Sounds like bleach in there.
• 34:32
  Oh, I like that. Oh Oh well, that's fucking
• 34:35
  ominous. What?
• 34:37
  Shoot the damn gun. Suppressing fire.
• 34:40
  Sit in front of Evi. Wish I had some luck.
• 34:42
  Goodness, I will shoot at the other stinky leg one.
• 34:45
  Nice Iona. I can't see everything.
• 34:47
  There's so many drones I can't see a door.
• 34:49
  It's free if you hack it. Or if you just smash the glass.
• 34:53
  Oh, I've made money. This is what they use.
• 34:55
  Are you seeing what I'm seeing through this window?
