I agree. What row?
0:04
No pressure or anything. We've received our placards.
0:09
We've received our placards. That was quick.
0:12
Hello everyone and welcome to No Latency Live 2025.
0:21
Hopefully the sound works. No, it does not let.
0:24
Me fix that. So I'm British so I can be
0:29
charming and stuff. Even tech support is fun I
0:34
think. It's this is it this?
0:36
Let's see. Let's give it a shot.
0:38
Let's try it. Let's.
0:40
Try roll basic tech. Roll basic tech.
0:43
OK. It's a success.
0:48
Welcome to No Latency Live 2025. We've got an amazing cast of
0:52
players for you today as we go on an adventure in Night City.
0:56
Got Jade, Tracy can't make it today.
1:01
We've got Evan, we've got our guests Anais and Diane and of
1:05
course, Peter finally returning to San Diego Comic card.
1:08
And tonight we present you a night at Morrow Rock again.
1:16
Iona plays an exec, Phoebe plays a bed tech.
1:19
It's around. Retro plays a tech, Jeff plays a
1:22
nomad. Howdy.
1:24
And our guest does. Coyote plays a nomad and teams.
1:27
He plays a tiny, and I play everyone else.
1:37
Shall we begin? Let's do it.
1:40
Audience participation. Jolly excellent.
1:43
Well, everyone, it's Night City and that shouldn't be like that,
1:48
but we'll fix it in post. It's fine.
1:50
That's just meant to just pass the time and be attractive, but
1:53
unfortunately I messed it up. Wonderful.
1:56
I love that. For me anyway.
2:00
You guys are outside the bar. Phoebe's just gone to go and get
2:03
some bubble teas. You were a little bit thirsty
2:05
and you're playing a little bit of stickball.
2:08
Retro, you're up to bat. Got a piece of trash brother,
2:12
and you want to you want to get a home run, like hit something
2:15
over the over the top of the building, maybe win the game
2:18
that you've all been playing. That's the most British
2:21
explanation of baseball. Hit the thing.
2:25
If you haven't noticed. I'm not from around.
2:27
Here. It's a reveal of retro.
2:30
Here he is. Retro face reveal.
2:33
He does exist. He.
2:35
Does exist, All right, retro. You got the, you got the, got
2:40
the stick in your hand. You want to hit something hard?
2:44
I'm not very good. That's a 5.
2:48
A5 You do an OK job, although that is really made and this
2:52
little ball of junk flies through a window, smashes it
2:56
open and everyone cheers because.
3:01
I've never got a home run in my life.
3:03
I. Never got a home run pretty
3:04
close to me. The.
3:05
Sports ball thing is not that hard.
3:08
Anyone could do it. I'd rather not.
3:13
But it's more fun one. Try it, you strike.
3:14
I'm I'm not going to touch a piece of trash and then hit it
3:17
through a window. Now we don't.
3:18
Have to touch the trash? You can hit the.
3:21
Trash. Go ahead, you can continue
3:23
playing stickball. I'll just watch.
3:24
All right, here comes the next pitch.
3:26
Retro you ready for this one? All right, OK, I'm, I'm going to
3:28
try it. I'll put a little shimmy in it.
3:30
Oh, I'll give you a knuckleball. Here it comes.
3:35
That's a knight. 99 Excellent, yes, very well done.
3:40
Yours goes over the building and you hear a little Ding noise as
3:44
it hits a pole. Very satisfying.
3:47
Very satisfying and then your phone goes.
3:55
On Now I have your attention, I have an urgent matter.
4:00
The mass driver project at Mora Rock has received investment
4:05
from NC space. If you remember, the mass driver
4:10
at Mora Rock is designed to shoot payloads into orbit,
4:14
historically under construction. Now at least partially active.
4:20
With this investment, they have reached Alpha stage and are
4:24
ready for a test fire tonight. They plan on firing at Quadrant
4:30
SDCC 2025 at midnight in about 80 minutes from now.
4:37
This poses us a problem. Our Comm satellite is scheduled
4:42
to be in that quadrant at midnight.
4:46
If they fire it, we lose our communication satellite and our
4:50
advantage on the syndicate. Get on the barge headed to
4:55
Morrow Rock, leaving in 5 minutes.
4:58
On board you'll find construction workers and an NZ
5:02
site inspector team pose as one or both.
5:06
It is up to you. I have freshpedia working on a
5:10
two-part virus. It will require you to install
5:14
it in two locations. Fresh can fill you in.
5:18
Give him a call before you split up.
5:20
Bring friends. I'll pay 2000 ennies each.
5:24
At least go now. Time is of the essence.
5:28
Maura Rock must not fire it's massive driver cannon tonight.
5:33
Do not give the Syndicate to this advantage.
5:36
Don't know out. Well, looks like work's Colin.
5:44
Yes, it does. Iona Vendel is now climbing down
5:48
the side of the building with the ball that Jeb grabbed.
5:50
I got it. It sounds like we need help.
5:54
Well, I heard him talk about fresh.
5:57
Fresh we could call fresh. But also Coyote, I know, I know
6:01
that we're on the losing team, but do you want to help us like
6:03
we'll pay you 2, Ki thought. They were just coming.
6:07
Yeah, Yeah. No, I mean, that's probably.
6:09
Are you down for an adventure where we might die?
6:11
Yeah, yeah. Yeah, that brings me an immense
6:15
amount of joy fodder. I mean, last time we didn't die
6:18
so I feel like. It's true.
6:19
I feel like I've never died. I can't believe.
6:24
It honestly, I'm starting to suspect that I'm going to live
6:26
forever. That's so cool.
6:28
I'm going to be honest, sometimes I dream that I'm
6:31
immortal and with that whole, what's that thing that you
6:37
injected me with, Iona? You took pills for body fuel
6:41
bite which was an experimental medications.
6:46
We also didn't inject. It you, you took it you you
6:49
signed a contract even. Willingly is a bit of a strong
6:52
word to use in this situation, but I suppose I was coerced.
6:56
Are you guys, are you guys into B12 supplements?
7:00
Is that like what that is? Because I've done that before.
7:02
I have a cousin that. Coyote, Would you like to be a
7:05
part of a a study? A medical study?
7:08
What? What kind of study is it for?
7:10
It's for Biotechnicus body fuel bites.
7:15
Do I have to do this studying? No, you just take 10 pills.
7:19
There are lots of really bad side effects though.
7:21
What are like what? Like what?
7:23
A thirst for human blood and. Really fast hair growing.
7:28
Really fast hair growing and your nails.
7:30
Yeah, and nails. That could be cool.
7:31
That might be kind of cool, but. I do not recommend it.
7:34
I got to say, it kind of comes up every time we go on an
7:38
adventure. There's some sort of thing that
7:39
I have to overcome to to make sure I'm not eating people.
7:45
It's a bit of a problem. OK, well, I'm starting to get
7:47
really serious about my art career and I just don't want
7:49
anything to get in the way of that so.
7:51
Help. I wouldn't do.
7:53
It thanks for the offer, Yeah. Well, you're coming with us,
7:57
period. Sure.
7:58
Yeah. Where's Vivi?
7:59
Vivi. Where is.
8:01
Vivi. Went to get bubble.
8:02
Tea Vivi went to go and get bubble tea, but the barge leaves
8:04
in like 4 minutes. We don't have time.
8:06
We've got to go, but. She's my best friend.
8:08
Well, she's my best friend too, like.
8:09
She's our best friend. We'll, we'll.
8:11
Teensy, she'll catch up, but we're also paying you money.
8:13
So are you shed? Yep.
8:15
Get in the fan. Oh.
8:17
Please try. Should we take my van?
8:19
Oh, don't worry. And I gesture back towards a
8:21
beautiful airbrush spray paint van of three topless mermaids
8:26
that look like me, Teensy and Vivi.
8:30
Well, that does have a better paint job I.
8:32
Mean it's a new paint job. That's really good and these are
8:35
a bit weird. Did you use AI?
8:36
Oh, only for the hands. OK, it's an artistic choice.
8:41
Nobody can do hands. Well, let's go.
8:45
You'll get in the van, Jeb, roll a driving check, and while this
8:50
happens, Iona you get a phone call.
8:53
Hello. Hello Ring ring.
8:55
Hello. Hello.
8:58
Oh. Hello.
9:00
Hello. How's it going?
9:02
It's going certainly we're we're kind of in a hurry.
9:06
Do you do you mind telling me what you need very quickly?
9:09
Oh. Yeah, yeah.
9:09
OK. So you're headed to Morrow Rock
9:12
and it's it's like near the coast.
9:14
So no, Lancie is in Little Europe, right?
9:16
So if you go north and take Morrow Rock Blvd.
9:19
West. Putting on speaker so Jeb can
9:21
hear you. Morrow Rock Blvd. on West Jeb.
9:25
OK, Is that is that this turtle the next one?
9:26
I think it's this one going oh shit.
9:29
All right. When you get to the dock, you're
9:31
going to see that there's a barge.
9:35
Get on the barge. Oh well, I definitely see
9:38
something over there. Is this the dock?
9:40
Are we on the dock? What?
9:41
Was your driving check, Jeb? Oh God, it looks like it's 10 or
9:45
so feet taken off already. I wrote the 2626.
9:50
We need to get on that barge now, Jeb, step on it.
9:54
There's. A convenient I'm not done with
9:56
my presentation. I won't.
9:58
Really. Oh, so sorry.
10:00
I may have jumped the gun Do. Things hold.
10:03
On we're driving in slow motion, so.
10:04
Here's a close. Why does this guy sound like a
10:06
Victorian child? Here's a closer map when you get
10:10
some more a rock. OK, here you there, can you?
10:13
Oh yes, I can hear you when it was soon.
10:15
When you get some more a rock, you're going to arrive at the
10:17
docks and you have to take you have to go to two places.
10:20
I'm going to send retro a virus in a good way, don't worry.
10:25
And then what you do is you take virus A.
10:28
Right. And that's the.
10:29
One with the filled flower bits and you put it in the core room,
10:33
right where the computer is. On the barge.
10:38
No at the at Morrow rock the barges to get.
10:41
There. Oh, great.
10:41
Yeah. Yeah, yeah.
10:43
Thank you for the clarification. I'm sure somebody was confused,
10:46
not just you. Then you take virus B and you
10:51
put it in the mass driver. AI know the GM didn't think
10:55
about this when he was planning it.
10:56
Just go with it. So there it is, mass driver A,
11:00
right? So you've got to put virus B in
11:02
mass driver A and virus A in the core room, and then you have to
11:06
fire the mass driver with nothing in it so that it goes
11:09
bad. If there's something in it,
11:10
it'll be bad for us because the satellite will explode and then
11:14
the call quality, frankly, will just be terrible.
11:17
And to be clear, that was the bad part that would happen to
11:19
us. Yes, also if they get the other
11:21
satellite we're truly screwed. Wait, what do you mean by that?
11:26
No, not like that. The other.
11:27
Satellite I'm not sure their team wants me to talk about.
11:30
You'd have to ask them. We signed an NDA.
11:35
What about a friend DA? Oh, are you a Patreon?
11:39
Subscriber. Oh, oh, now.
11:41
We're all down the Ducks and jump on board and then try and
11:44
get in past security. There are two teams, teams on
11:46
the barge, OK, there are two teams.
11:48
There's an inspector team, that's probably an IOTA thing.
11:51
And then there's a bunch of construction workers because
11:54
they're making the work over. Oh, bye fresh.
11:58
Oh, we're in out of minutes. Could you?
12:02
We have to get on that barge and it's you're right, it's pulling
12:04
away. It's pulling everyone rolling.
12:06
Athletics check Jeb's crit earlier.
12:11
Getting the the the the van to the docks in Little Europe has
12:16
given you all a + 1. 19. 19 yes, good enough you jump over. 17.
12:23
17 retro You do a you do a little as you jump over the
12:27
little gap a what? All right.
12:31
And then spring what you roll. 18. 18 Yes, you also make it
12:35
teensy. 19. Yeah, you do a flip, Yeah.
12:41
A20. Coyote you do 2, you do 2 flips.
12:47
Vandel got a 12. Vandel got a 12.
12:51
Vandel falls in the water and isn't scrambling on this road.
12:54
Simply no, Vandel, we're going to have to leave you behind.
12:56
There are simply too many characters in this one shot the
13:01
GM. Just rolled an 8.
13:05
I made it, but now I'm wet. It's.
13:07
Still hot? It's all right.
13:09
So you are all now on the Night City barge.
13:15
Night City barge is it's, it's the number one barge.
13:19
There are a few of them, but you've managed to find #1
13:20
Because I thought the one would look cool on this screen.
13:22
And it does. On the barge there is a vending
13:26
machine, There's a porta potty. There's a private little VIP
13:30
area that's actually a closet. It looks like you can see the
13:33
inspector in the window. And then there's the the pod
13:36
that the driver of it works in and downstairs where all the
13:39
construction workers who were working overnight to get this
13:42
mass driver ready for midnight. Because the mass drivers doing
13:45
what again? It's going to fire into space
13:47
and destroy your communication satellites.
13:48
Boom. And we don't want that.
13:50
We. Do not want that.
13:52
The stakes are clear. The stakes are clear.
13:56
You should get that looked at. That's not me.
13:59
Well, Night City these days. Vibes.
14:03
So this is like a, this is a barge, but it's like a fairy
14:06
like we're taking this to. More on the other side.
14:10
You cannot you you would be thrown out.
14:13
You have to find a way to sneak in to this facility from here on
14:16
out. So we've made it.
14:17
We've made it onto the barge. We want to get to this facility,
14:19
but there is no easy way into this facility.
14:22
You can't just walk in, you're going to have to, Domino
14:24
suggested in the message. You could try and pose as a
14:26
construction worker, You could try and pose as an inspector.
14:29
There's only inspector coming, so you'd have to do something
14:31
about that The. Inspectors.
14:33
The inspectors on the barge, are they not?
14:35
Yes, you can see them in the little green box.
14:37
I text you them out by the way. Take them out.
14:40
I'm in airplane mode. Can.
14:44
So I imagine this is where we do our whole like planning thing.
14:48
Sure. I from the message, I think that
14:53
it would be good if we, I don't know, took out the inspector,
14:57
maybe incapacitated them, and I could pose as the inspector.
15:02
If Vivi were here, we could do a honey pot.
15:04
I don't. Know oh.
15:08
I mean, I suppose that I can, I can try my best to see what this
15:13
inspector thinks of this. If we want to try that, I like.
15:17
That I think that'd be kind of fun.
15:19
And then Teensy and Anais, what are what are you sorry, Coyote?
15:22
Sorry, we are in Coyote. I don't know.
15:28
I'm getting I'm getting vibes over there.
15:30
Do do we want to go downstairs? Yeah.
15:34
Do we know what the uniforms of the construction workers look
15:36
like? Are they like this awesome
15:38
jumpsuit I'm already wearing? Roll perception.
15:42
OK, 20. 20 Yes day wear overalls.
15:53
One of your favorite things? Full overalls and a orange hard
15:59
hat. May I look around to see if
16:01
there's any spare hard hats sitting around?
16:04
Yes, you can. You're all the 20, right?
16:06
Yeah. Yeah.
16:06
You can see that there is an orange hard hat inside the
16:10
vending machine. Turns out if you're an employee
16:12
and you lose your hat, you have to pay for a new one.
16:14
Classic cyberpunk, hey? Insane.
16:17
Do any of you guys have some spare money for this vending
16:21
machine so I can get his hat? Yeah, sure, why not?
16:25
Really. How much is it?
16:27
I didn't check actually. I gave you the exact amount.
16:32
It is 50 eddies. It's an expensive hat.
16:34
Well, you shouldn't lose your hat.
16:35
Don't. Lose your hat.
16:38
That's how they get you. Yeah, this better not get stuck.
16:43
Foreshadowing is a device. I'm going to try and get this
16:47
hat, should we? All get hats and then we can.
16:49
You mean you construction undercover?
16:51
Construction. I think we could pass this
16:53
construction. I agree.
16:54
I can't wear a hat. You.
16:55
I don't think that. Retro can't wear a hat.
16:57
Yeah, we don't. He's got ATV for a head.
16:59
Yeah, we were just talking about US retro.
17:02
Maybe we could glue it to the top?
17:05
Well, could retro like can we put him on like a magic table or
17:09
something? I went to a magic show once
17:11
where they had the the head there and then the guy was
17:14
underneath but it made it look like a severed head.
17:16
Could we do that with retro? So they just think we're.
17:18
Carrying. I think that's overly
17:20
convoluted. OK, did you bring a magic as?
17:27
Far as I know, on here as inspectors and construction
17:31
workers, right? Yep.
17:33
So if you really need to get by construction workers, all you
17:35
got to do is just be confident, yes, and believe that you're
17:39
better than them. I do.
17:41
And bring a ladder, yeah. And a ladder and.
17:44
Bring them lunch and they'll love you forever.
17:47
So we got a ladder lunch, hard hat, sense of superiority, and a
17:53
magic table. How many of those do we have
17:56
you? Don't have a table, but you do
17:59
now have a hat. And we definitely got a sense of
18:01
superiority. Yeah, now as you are checking
18:04
out the vending machine, behind the vending machine is a porta
18:05
potty. Right.
18:07
Full of hats, and while you're hanging out, there's now a guy
18:10
in the the driving booth of this barge looking at you.
18:15
Is there anyone in the porta potty?
18:17
Let me get to that. You see, you see the, you see
18:24
that the, the, the guy inside of the, the, the green booth sort
18:29
of dust himself off and stand up and look out towards the Porta
18:31
Potti and then to his watch. Oh yes, So he, he, he maybe he's
18:36
doing a little pee pee dance. He's making decisions.
18:38
She retro pee pee. Dance.
18:41
But also the guy who's driving this barge is now looking at you
18:45
through the window because you made no effort to hide when you
18:48
jumped onto this barge. He's giving you a very weird
18:50
look. I'm just going to confidently
18:53
look back and I'm going to pull. The roll perception.
18:55
Robert De Niro. Right, roll perception.
19:01
I wish there was a confidence I'm better at.
19:03
That no, I like that. I'm going to give you plus one
19:05
because of the cool reference and because we're a Comic Con
19:08
and that should be nice. We would like to win the one
19:12
shot. I don't know what winning means.
19:14
Winning is always an option. I don't know, I.
19:16
Did fairly well. I got 21.
19:18
You recognise the driver? Oh, it's pirate.
19:23
Oh I love pirate, he has the best rates especially for.
19:26
Π Now obviously me, a person from this show, remembers that
19:30
very important character, but maybe for the other people, you
19:32
might want to remind people who this person is.
19:35
And definitely not because I forgot.
19:36
Just talk to him. You'll get it, yeah.
19:39
It's so good to see you. Thank you so much.
19:41
Hi. Hello.
19:42
Hi. Yar, how are you doing?
19:44
We're good. I'm an incredibly stereotypical
19:46
NPC. That's why we love you, Pirate.
19:49
Yeah, no, I'm pirate. I'm really into things that are
19:52
3.15, you know? That's close.
19:55
It is close. Yes, yes.
19:57
I don't do math very well. It's just a name.
20:03
Why are you on the fucking? Why are you on the bar?
20:05
Sorry. Pardon your I.
20:08
Get one. I'm sorry, I did it very early.
20:12
You're actually, you helped us last time we were out on the sea
20:16
and. You you helped me get the.
20:18
My my face. Back and you know all of that
20:20
yard. Yard Yeah.
20:21
So we're going to need your help again.
20:23
We we need to be on more rock. Oh, yard well, and they won't
20:27
let you on unless you're like an inspector or a construction
20:30
work. Oh.
20:32
Right. I get it, right.
20:35
Yeah. OK.
20:38
Well, since you paid me really well the other time, I'll say
20:40
what? I'll look the other way.
20:41
Look at that. I didn't see anyone on my barge.
20:46
The the inspector's in there and like, oh, hello, can you see the
20:50
inspector come out? He walks over to the porta potty
20:54
and. He hey, it's inside.
20:58
Retro. Retro.
20:59
Do you see what I see? Yeah, here's a pen.
21:02
No the porta potty. I know, here's a pen.
21:06
What? He ain't.
21:10
Taking my difference, I I will wait until they go to the porta
21:14
potty. Sure.
21:15
Wait till they turn the lock. Wait a minute.
21:18
Didn't they just? And then I'm going to stuff a
21:21
pen directly where the lock would go for a padlock.
21:26
Now I get it. Now I get it.
21:27
Yeah. Yeah, yeah.
21:28
It's so obvious. Yeah, yeah.
21:30
And and you watch, you watch pirate look at you as you lock
21:33
this porta potty around this man, and he just folds his arms
21:36
and goes. The pen is mightier than the
21:39
sword. Yar, that's good.
21:41
That's what he I like that. That's what he I like it.
21:44
Like I like that one TV head. So team we've we've locked the
21:48
inspector in the Porter body. Perfect.
21:51
I'm just going to just. Walk around.
21:53
Sure, a new inspector here. Here I am.
21:55
I'm sure there's a clipboard in this room.
21:57
I'm going to go get a. Clipboard.
21:58
Hello. Is there the door slot?
22:05
Oh yeah. Sorry, there's there's no way to
22:07
open it. Oh gosh.
22:07
It stopped. Just jiggle the handle a little.
22:18
So I just rolled A crit fail. I wrote a crit fail -5.
22:25
How convenient. Like it's not, it's not falling
22:29
into the water bad, but it is Porta Potti falling over bad.
22:34
Fantastic. I didn't even have to push it
22:36
this time. No, but you do have to avoid it,
22:39
so roll evasion. OK, avoid the porta potty.
22:44
Yes, because it's not falling into the water, it's falling
22:46
where you are standing. Oh Lord, oh.
22:48
Oh no. I owner is not nearby.
22:51
Do my new jumping legs helping? With this cyber.
22:55
They do, yes. That's +2, isn't it?
22:59
Yeah. You got some new cyberware,
23:01
didn't you? I did.
23:02
Exciting 18. 18 yes, you effortlessly jump out of the
23:06
way. Retro.
23:07
What did you roll for evasion? Lucky #7.
23:16
Lucky number. Seven.
23:17
That's not enough, so. Lucky.
23:19
Though a porta potty falls on top of you and you rolled badly
23:23
so the door opens and you get covered in chemical excrement.
23:27
Oh God. And an inspector.
23:29
And a very panicked inspector. Oh God, oh, you smell like sweat
23:32
and urine. Oh good Lord.
23:37
Oh, oh, oh, good Lord. Isn't that a What is that?
23:41
Oh, it's a that came from a human.
23:42
Gross. Oh.
23:44
God. I would like to create a giant
23:46
scene. I would like to make a big
23:48
scene. Put his eyes eyes on me.
23:51
You all can like do your thing on that.
23:54
And I'm just going to make a very big scene of like, Oh my
23:56
God, excuse me. How dare you cover and soil me
24:01
in your mess and what your mess is.
24:03
Excuse me? I didn't sign up for this.
24:06
This is extremely, extremely unprofessional and he, I would
24:11
like to see your credentials, Sir.
24:12
He. He.
24:13
Takes a little step back and he pulls out his business card and
24:16
he's shaking right. Roll intimidation or.
24:21
Face down, Jeb in the in. Meanwhile, Jeb behind him just
24:25
takes the roll of duct tape that he has in his bag and just goes.
24:30
And I pull out handcuffs. I do not have intimidation.
24:35
Not intimidation, sorry, persuasion.
24:37
Or I'm going to. Put two points into persuasion.
24:41
OK. Two points of luck.
24:45
I wish I had superiority complex you.
24:47
Do not. No, Iona's bringing all of that.
24:54
2020. Yes, two I added.
24:55
Yes, very good. You intimidate this guy and he
24:58
takes a step back and he's now right on the edge of the barge.
25:06
Who's going to do it? Who's going to do it?
25:08
Do we maybe like want his clothes or something?
25:10
Or at least that business guy covered.
25:12
In I'm like I look. Good.
25:14
I don't know what. I push him off the barge.
25:15
Oh. OK.
25:17
OK, Kyle, thank. God, Jeff.
25:18
Roll, Pickpocket. Coyote Roll Athletics. 12/8 8.
25:35
Right. So you you didn't roll negative.
25:37
I I believe that I won a non canonical event.
25:42
You did. Which gives me an inspiration.
25:44
You did. Which I would like to give for
25:47
them to roll again please. Huffing GM noises fine.
25:52
Coyote, give it a good push this time. 15.
25:56
Yay, as you push this guy, he does the most British noise
26:01
ever. Oh dear.
26:03
And as you do that, you watch Jeb like, reach into this blur
26:06
and pull out an inspector credential.
26:09
I sadly put my handcuffs back. Bendel looks at you and says
26:14
there'll be other chances, but Jeb's now holding the inspector
26:18
ID card. You think this will do?
26:21
Yeah. I think I'm sure it will.
26:23
That in a clipboard is all I need.
26:25
So no ladder. You guys need a ladder that.
26:28
Is good. There is a clipboard in the
26:31
vending machine. You can buy it for 15 edit.
26:33
There's nothing. Is there a magician's table in
26:35
the vending machine too? It's not his office, it's just a
26:38
space for VIPs. He.
26:39
Didn't leave his perhaps messenger bag in there that has
26:43
his I'm going into the. Green box, wrong perception I
26:46
sure. Will is nobody going to throw a
26:48
life ring to the guy that we just pushed off the boat?
26:50
Who? The irate looks at you and goes.
26:54
It's kill or be killed in Night City.
26:58
Also he'll be fine, it's only toxic.
27:00
Yeah, he was just an inspector, presumably, presumably looking
27:04
out for the we'll. Be we'll be arriving in a
27:08
minute, so get your disguises or whatever set up I put.
27:12
My hat. On I take my hat off.
27:16
Is there any kind of other clothes since I am completely
27:19
covered in chemicalness? In inside the little green box,
27:25
there's a little box with some of the uniforms for the
27:27
construction people in it. But they are.
27:29
They are dirty, probably. Not that dirty as what he's.
27:33
Already wearing Oh yeah, no, I'll, I'll, I'll pick a, I'll
27:36
pick the dusty ass uniform. Sorry.
27:39
Hey man, we only get one. The butt is dusty on that
27:41
uniform. It's a dusty mass.
27:45
Uniform mass? Really mass?
27:47
Yes. 8 for perception. 8. Yep, that sure was an 8.
27:52
You do not find a clipboard or his messenger bag.
27:55
Oh, that's an 8. OK, I suppose I will buy the
27:58
clipboard out of the vending machine.
28:00
Yes, you. Will 15 eddies thank you very
28:01
much. Is there no problem money can't
28:03
buy or fix? I could buy many problems with
28:08
the amount of money I have. From our friends at Infinite
28:22
Sided Dice comes a story of space and death.
28:28
Space doesn't care about you, and dying in space just makes
28:34
sense. I'm not going back in there.
28:36
I'd kill her. Shoot her now.
28:38
Whoa, whoa. This seems like a rather tense
28:40
moment. Shoot it, diesel.
28:42
Why can't you roll? Good.
28:44
What the hell is this? Which has happened?
28:46
You touched it, didn't you? That's.
28:48
Where we all live. That was a rather strange tune
28:51
of events. I'm.
28:52
Going to hide please. If you hear this, please come
28:58
find me. You hear something big and
29:03
heavy. Oh my God, are you one of them?
29:05
Don't worry, I'm an emotional support Android.
29:08
Stop. My name is BT 9 but my human
29:10
friends like to call me buttons. What's your name?

29:32
Dice and you arrive at the dice. Oh God, we.
29:48
Finally made it. We made.
29:48
It tomorrow rock. But how are we going to get in
29:51
this thing with this? Badge.
29:54
Who is who is dressed as a construction worker?
29:57
Me. I am.
29:58
Cool, so retro. Teensy Coyote.
30:04
No, I'm just going to be me. I'm.
30:05
Just going to be you. That's all I know how to be.
30:08
So violent, so retro and teensy are construction workers.
30:13
Vendel looks like an assistant because they are one.
30:15
Iona, you're giving off inspector energy role,
30:18
bureaucracy and Jeb. Who are you going with?
30:22
I'm, I'm supposed to, we can go together, Yeah.
30:24
And we'll just be kind of skulking in the background.
30:27
Cool. We're going to wait for an.
30:28
Operation and if these go? Really bad.
30:30
We'll like be distraction or something cool.
30:33
Classic magician misdirect, you know.
30:35
And that means I, I'm assuming that who's who's going with Iona
30:39
just Vendel that's. Good point.
30:42
Well, it depends on if we can sneak in with Iona or with the
30:47
with either the inspector or the construction workers.
30:51
Raw perception. Everybody, yeah.
30:54
OK, I I do need like a foreman with me so we can point.
31:00
Can the foreman be wearing a leather leather carbon weave
31:05
duster? We probably should have someone
31:08
technical with us because virus. I got a 20.
31:12
I guess I could. Do it.
31:13
Yeah. Come with.
31:13
Yeah, Marie dressed as a construction worker.
31:15
So that's all you. OK, OK, All right, Retro, you
31:19
join Bendel and Iona. Jeb, you join Coyote and Teensy
31:23
for your own little girls night. Girls.
31:26
Night Girls. Night, girls, night.
31:28
It's all right, there'll be more.
31:29
You'll be invited to the next one maybe, if you're good.
31:33
What are your perception scores? Everyone. 21. 2120. 18 for
31:38
bureaucracy, because I belong here.
31:41
You look like an inspector. I love bureaucracy.
31:44
It's such a ridiculously esoteric skill, but hell yeah,
31:48
you too, 1717. 15. 15. Can't fail.
31:53
Nice. All right.
31:54
Everybody rolled over 15, which is the DV for the area.
31:57
And what you discover is a little doc's office.
32:01
It doesn't look very active. It's pretty late.
32:03
We're getting close to midnight in the distance.
32:06
You can see in the in the shadow of the twilight of Night City,
32:11
you can see this really big tall thing in the distance.
32:14
It's really hard to tell what it is because it's so dark, but you
32:17
assume this is the mass driver. It is pointing directly up that.
32:22
Seems bad. It looks like a big gun pulling
32:25
to the sky. I'm imagining that's the thing.
32:28
We're going to stop. And out here on the docks, there
32:30
are two vending machines, a few crates and porta potties, and
32:33
the entrance to Morrow Rock. Let's go I'm.
32:37
I'll also text you that. Look at you as the inspector.
32:41
I'm going straight in with my assistant and my technical
32:44
assistant as well. Come on retro, let's strut.
32:48
OK, I I want to stop by the vending machine though.
32:51
Yeah, yeah, I. Want to look?
32:52
I'm going to be a foreman. I have to have my coffee.
32:54
All right, Romy, 2D6 coffee is available from this vending
32:58
machine, but there are some other things.
33:01
Sorry 2D10, apologies. Thank you.
33:05
You're welcome. Three and a one.
33:11
You find cool shades and a can of boost.
33:14
Whoa all. Right.
33:16
Well, yeah, I'll take those because again as a form and I
33:18
definitely need shades that. Shows that 40 in total. 40 it is
33:23
cool. You are you getting the boost as
33:25
well? Because that includes that.
33:27
What'd? You say the cool shades and the
33:29
boost is 40, yes? Cool, I just but I have to have
33:31
the cool shades around my my shirt collar.
33:35
Yeah, you're not going to wear them behind your head.
33:37
No, no, no. It's just, it's just a sign of
33:39
superiority. I never actually wear them
33:41
because I don't really need to have eye protection because I
33:44
don't really do a work. Safety squints work.
33:47
Yeah. Good.
33:48
Excellent. All right.
33:49
Well, you, you are walking through.
33:52
There's a a guard standing at the entrance at the very peak of
33:57
the docks, just waiting. It's got a clipboard.
33:59
You're jealous. I I bought a clipboard.
34:02
I have one. But you had to buy yours, all
34:04
right? I didn't say that out loud to
34:06
you. I said that to the GM.
34:07
Oh. I see.
34:08
All right, then. I didn't hear what you said.
34:09
I'm. I'm here for the inspection.
34:13
Yeah. I thought you'd be taller.
34:16
I thought you'd be nicer. I don't.
34:18
All right, Well, roll Persuasion.
34:20
OK. I imagine meanwhile we're
34:26
skulking on the side. Yeah, if you you lot roll
34:29
stealth. Yes, Sir, 18 what?
34:35
Do you get Jake? 12. 12 I guess.
34:39
Who's this? My assistant and my technical
34:43
assistant here to back up the choices that your team has made.
34:48
So you're going to let us in so we can get this project done
34:53
before midnight, correct? Yeah, well, you rolled low so.
35:00
Hey, boss, it's fine. Look, we can I'd.
35:03
I'd say let's just wait it out here.
35:05
Sorry, what? What's your name?
35:06
Yeah. You're going to hold up the
35:08
project, so we we need need a name.
35:10
I just, I just need your name. I'm willing to wait here.
35:13
I get paid by the hour anyways. I'm willing to kick it here now.
35:16
If we fall behind though, it's going to be on you since we
35:18
already had our credentials sent in.
35:21
You don't roll. Persuasion talk.
35:22
It's fine. Roll Persuasion.
35:23
We can sit down. Roll persuasion.
35:24
Hang up. What?
35:25
Roll Persuasion. Search for.
35:31
The people, I want to roll something up.
35:32
Oh, crit crit. 26. Crit 26 he He takes a little
35:37
step back and is intimidated by you and almost slips off the
35:41
docks and it's really embarrassing, but.
35:44
Whoa, whoa, careful. The inspector should check that
35:47
doesn't fall. I knew it was there.
35:50
It's fine. Obviously you're a professional.
35:53
Yeah. Yeah.
35:54
It's just, it's embarrassing, isn't?
35:58
It a little a lot. Actually, you meant to say no,
36:01
it's fine, I didn't know what, just go in.
36:04
Hey man, embarrassing stuff happens all the time.
36:06
Yeah, yeah, whatever too. And don't, don't don't don't try
36:09
and work out why a lot of people in Nice City are British.
36:12
Could you before we go? It's a cultural melting pot.
36:15
What is your name? Dave, because I want to.
36:22
Know No, no, it's a cybernetic. I write down Dave on my
36:27
clipboard. Cool.
36:30
He's intimidated, all right. What was your stealth role, you
36:32
lot? 18. 1918.
36:35
Oh. Yeah.
36:38
So I own this moment with this crip fail.
36:41
He almost falls off the docks and in that moment you sneak by
36:45
in your in your little outfits, you.
36:47
See, that guy almost fell in. That was embarrassing.
36:49
And it's. Embarrassing.
36:51
Scootch your way through, man. You scootch your way through and
36:54
you've all made it through the docks.
36:55
Well done. These were the easy bits.
36:57
Good luck. Those are the easy bits.
37:00
Easy bits. You've got this main front room.
37:03
In the corner are a bunch of crates that are earmarked to be
37:06
delivered to different areas. There's a little security part
37:09
that you've seen before in your travels of Night City.
37:12
The vending machine and then two rooms to your right, a staff
37:14
room and a bathroom. And we're we're all in there
37:18
together now. You're all in there together.
37:20
Spoon, Jeb, Coyote and Teensy. You've all snuck in.
37:27
But you do look like workers now, right?
37:30
You've snuck your way in. Well, they do.
37:33
No, these guys look like inspectors.
37:35
You're with, you're with these people.
37:36
I I know, but they didn't change it.
37:38
I'm the only one in the construction outfit.
37:40
Well, that's that's a problem. That's a problem.
37:42
Jeb. There's a star from to your
37:44
right. You might wanna have a look
37:44
inside. I think it's fine.
37:46
Wait, I 'cause you know, I'm an artist.
37:48
I have all these paints with me and these glow paints.
37:51
We could probably do some camo face paint.
37:53
Oh, OK. Like try to disguise ourselves
37:57
and blend into the back. Cyberpunk Gilly too, yeah.
38:00
Yeah, yeah. You can give it a shot.
38:02
Paint drawer sculpt. Heck yeah, let's go to draw the
38:06
outline. You've been like you've.
38:08
Been waiting for me to let you roll that, haven't you?
38:10
Yeah. Of course are are you are you
38:12
drawing like the wallpaper but on like the front of my body Tik
38:16
toks. Right, you're like in front.
38:18
Of. It just don't move and you do.
38:21
Have to keep your eyes closed the whole time I.
38:23
Rolled A9, you want. A nine it's.
38:27
Not that bad. It's not that good either, yeah.
38:29
Whatever. You do an OK job, but in order
38:33
to pass by things you have to roll over it. 13 on Stealth.
38:37
OK, easy. Yeah, you've produced it a
38:39
little bit, but not by a lot. You should all have the map I
38:42
text it to you so. To be clear, am I painted now?
38:46
Yeah. Yes.
38:47
Great. It's dark.
38:50
You look great and you look. Great.
38:52
There are quite a few construction workers around you
38:54
and as they sort of gaggle their way in, it's a quite a big team,
38:58
this gaggle where you're away and you've camouflaged
39:00
yourselves. It's like people's bags and you
39:08
guys on the ground. Look like a ladder.
39:13
And if we kick, as we've established, if I carry you and
39:16
have a sense of superiority, we'll get right through this
39:19
thing. On the ground you can see a
39:21
bunch of lines. You've got these lines on the
39:23
ground. The yellow line points to where
39:25
the construction team goes, the red line points towards the core
39:29
room, and the yellow line if well I'm turning right, points
39:32
the staff room and the blue one goes towards.
39:34
The bathroom, I'd like to sidle up to the the panel next to the
39:40
door with the restricted the arrows going in and also the
39:43
staff arrow. Yeah, and see.
39:45
Well, first we'll see if it just opens and then if it doesn't,
39:48
see what I can do with my tech. It does not just open, you don't
39:52
have a pass. I walk up to the door.
39:54
Beep beep. Your instructor pass roller
39:58
detail. Has A7.
40:02
Seven. Yes, it scans, but on the screen
40:05
next to the door is not your face.
40:08
No one's paying attention to it, but the gate opens and you sort
40:10
of nod. Bad photo day.
40:15
Is there a way for me to use my tech to turn it into Iona space?
40:19
Yes. I'd like to try to do that.
40:21
Roll for it. OK, basic tech.
40:23
What are we doing? OK, Cyber tech.
40:26
Oh, cyber tech now security. Cyber security.
40:28
Do you remember when we had to upload the virus?
40:31
That was one thing we had to do. What was virus?
40:33
Cyber tech A to core, virus B to AI, wrote A. 26 on cyber tech.
40:41
Yeah, you managed to change the photograph and you managed to
40:45
change the photograph to Iona with red hair rather than her
40:48
usual white. Yeah, yeah, yeah, I'm on top of
40:50
it. Recent.
40:53
Photo Iona. I did change my hair.
40:55
Smooth sailing ahead. Tainty, you're so good at that.
40:59
Oh, I thought that was a ladder. Oh my God, I melt back into the
41:05
background. I I think I might have taken
41:09
something a little too strong for that.
41:10
Inanimate objects are talking to us now.
41:14
Do you do anything else in this space?
41:16
There are some vending machines, some walkers.
41:20
This might be because I play too many video games, but I want to
41:24
see if I can look into the red box that is the same color as
41:27
the red line on the floor. Yes, that's the security office.
41:30
There's a security guard being very lazy in there.
41:32
No, no, no. It's like the boxes in the
41:33
corner they're. Oh, the boxes.
41:35
The crates. The crates, I'm sorry, yes.
41:37
The crates, yes. Did you roll a perception?
41:40
Check the. Crates.
41:40
Check the crates. But the one that.
41:42
Specifically. Matches the restricted colour on
41:44
the floor. Yes, there is a red crate in
41:46
there, yeah. They get in 23. 23 Yes, the red
41:54
crate is going to mass driver A. That's one of the things we got
41:59
to get to. Did you, did you get, did you
42:05
get the thing? We have to upload it.
42:07
What thing we have to I look over back to Iona, B to A, A to
42:10
B. No.
42:14
Wait, wait, wait. We need a mass driver.
42:15
BA to core B to A. No, Virus A and mass driver B.
42:20
Is that right? No.
42:21
No, it's. We're going to mess it up to who
42:24
are. Virus B to mass driver A Oh, OK.
42:27
OK, OK. This is hurting my brain.
42:29
This is crazy, you guys. It's OK, fresh just sent it to
42:33
me so I haven't written here on my tile.
42:36
OK, I've got the. Thing.
42:36
Give me the thing to do the thing.
42:39
Bendel flicks you a little data chip.
42:44
Nice. What are you going to do about
42:46
this crate, Teensy? What do you mean?
42:49
Well, it's going to mass driver. Are you going to do anything
42:51
about it? We're going to look at for sure.
42:57
Yeah, that's what I wanted you to do.
43:00
So you do it for free. I do it for free because I am
43:04
small. Does anyone else get in the
43:06
crate? There is enough space for the
43:07
other two. It's big.
43:08
This is just a crate that's chilling that says like it's
43:11
going to be all 2. It's going to be delivered to
43:12
the masked driver pretty soon because they have to fire it
43:14
tonight. It's in a.
43:15
It's in a few minutes. Priority.
43:18
Shipping. Is there anything in it already?
43:21
Some materials, some stuff, some parts for the for the mass
43:24
driver, a lot of things, though none of you are technically
43:27
minded so you have no idea what it is.
43:28
We're sabotaging it. Who?
43:30
Cares. So why don't we like take the
43:32
stuff out and then put like bad stuff in you have?
43:35
You have plenty. Of space.
43:36
There's space for you in there. You just have to take off your
43:38
hat. Oh thank you.
43:42
I'm shutting the crate. I had a lot for a bit, but I
43:45
just had to put it back on and the.
43:46
Vibes. Cool, at least I'm not going to
43:48
get stuck in something alone this time.
43:51
You. You say, as Vendel nonchalantly
43:53
leans against the crate and shuts it.
43:57
So, Inspector, it's a shame that these crates haven't been
44:01
delivered to the site yet. Why have they not been
44:03
delivered? Demerit.
44:05
Excuse me? I knock on the security door
44:07
office. Excuse me, I have some crates
44:11
here that do need to be delivered before I inspect Mash
44:15
driver A right? So if these could get there, I'm
44:18
going to inspect this way. All right, Yeah, yeah.
44:21
Your inspector. Head to the courtroom.
44:23
Where's George? George Crates.
44:26
Hello. And this guy with huge
44:30
cybernetic arms, they're like massive George.
44:34
He's called George of the Jungle.
44:35
Do you get it? It's a joke.
44:38
Yeah. Crate.
44:40
Oh, yeah. Brilliant.
44:41
He picks one up with one hand. See you later.
44:44
Is it ours? Yeah.
44:47
You're, you're, you're like jingling around inside of this
44:50
crate, right? And as this guy holds it above
44:52
his head with one hand grandstanding away, I need you
44:55
all to roll AD 10 who are inside the box.
44:59
I was unexpected. Unexpected.
45:03
Oh my God, A9. A nine?
45:09
Oh no. Do you double explode in this
45:11
game? No, we do not double explode.
45:13
120 for Teensy over here though. You got 20 they.
45:17
Exploded. Oh, upwards.
45:20
Oh, that's the good one. Not even.
45:22
Floating Is this your first day? Real quadruple I got.
45:27
A feeling you got a what? I got a three I.
45:31
Got a three? As.
45:32
Thank you, Coyote, you're my bestie.
45:36
As as you're inside the box, Teensy moves aside as one of the
45:40
as the bits of material inside move around and it shunks
45:43
between Teensy and Jeb, and then as it slides back it hits you
45:47
square in the chest and it really, really hurts.
45:50
In order to not make noise you'll you also receive 6
45:56
damage. Spicy you get 6 damage but you
46:01
have to roll resist torture drugs not to go Oh my.
46:06
Just like. Drugs.
46:07
Or stealth. I'm going to do stealth.
46:10
Stealth your way out of that pain.
46:12
I'm a stealth out of it. Easy.
46:16
Oh no, it's. A1 Wait, wait, no, that's the
46:19
one that implodes. You're not talking so much shit.
46:23
By this point you are not on this map, you are down the
46:27
corridor because he's been walking this whole time and he
46:30
stops. You feel the box stop and you
46:32
hear him go. What's that noise next time on
46:45
No Latency Live 2025? Why?
46:54
Is there a ladder in this box? What are you doing in here?
47:00
George put her down. I need her.
47:02
She's part of my team. Once you follow the line, you'll
47:05
always be fine. We're not blowing things up,
47:08
we're putting a virus in it. Blow something up.
47:14
TT You think Jeb's going to run out of air in there?
47:17
OK, Johnny Rockets, let's calm down.
47:19
Oh, it's a wooden crate, right? I've I've got us to the core
47:24
room now. It's your job.
47:26
Here we go round two, baby. So are we going to kill this guy
47:31
or what? What does the middle magnet do?
47:33
This guy needs a uniform. What a joker, am I right?
47:38
I know we're supposed to go towards that thing, but I'm
47:41
really intrigued by this random tent.
47:43
Yeah, sorry about that, boss. First day on the job, you
47:45
understand. I know all about magnets I can
47:50
save. Retro.
47:53
What do I got to do to save everyone's?
47:56
Lives.
