• 0:02
  Last time on no latency. I like galas.
• 0:06
  It's pretty well set up of who's going to be going what.
• 0:08
  I always have to go to the gala. You got to mix it up a little
• 0:11
  bit. No, this is a one-of-a-kind
• 0:14
  item. This time you are the cowboy.
• 0:16
  This time I'm the cowboy. I guess we're going to have to
• 0:18
  go and visit Tuna. Yep, stacked, ripped and with a
• 0:22
  hell of an ass. Who's our friend on the inside?
• 0:24
  Domino? Oh, that whirly.
• 0:25
  Bird that we got you. I thought they were going
• 0:28
  shopping first. We're getting.
• 0:29
  It delivered. We're doing some online
• 0:31
  shopping. Oh, you're Arisaka priming your
• 0:33
  shit? Yeah, we are.
• 0:34
  Yep, directly to the car. Oh, help.
• 0:37
  You do. I see my friend the collector
• 0:39
  over. Here so hope we know what we're
• 0:40
  doing. I have.
• 0:41
  Wanted to try something and Are you ready?
• 0:43
  I think I'm going to do it. I'm going to do it.
• 0:46
  I'm going to do. It roll for it 16 plus.
• 1:03
  Two. Because you're wearing the suit,
• 1:06
  +2 is an 18 and that beats a professional score, which is
• 1:09
  definitely what this is. You do a barrel roll, but retro
• 1:13
  roll. Resist torture drugs into the
• 1:20
  barrel roller helicopter. You're crazy.
• 1:22
  You can. It's dangerous.
• 1:24
  You can't do it. You totally can roll resist
• 1:26
  torture drugs I. Am hold on my internal from
• 1:31
  being in the military actually working on helicopters just
• 1:34
  freaking out just from hearing it.
• 1:36
  That's why can you roll resist torture drugs?
• 1:39
  You rolled a crip fail. So you grab a sick bag and vomit
• 1:43
  into it. Oh, I sent that.
• 1:47
  Damn out the fan because all I have is the CD drives.
• 1:50
  It's you. Didn't roll that bad of a crip
• 1:54
  fail, didn't go negative so you don't get covered in sick.
• 1:56
  You just now have a bag of sick on you.
• 1:59
  Well, I suppose it could be worse.
• 2:01
  All right, we're coming up on this guy's apartment complex.
• 2:06
  So I guess get ready, clean yourself up.
• 2:11
  I don't know, Jeb. Oh.
• 2:13
  Yeah. You arrive outside of the
• 2:15
  building and you can now have the choice.
• 2:17
  You can see that there's a balcony outside the apartment
• 2:20
  that would give you access to this place.
• 2:23
  You can see where his apartment is, you know the address, but
• 2:27
  you don't have to land straight away all.
• 2:29
  Right, Sloane, go do a little reconnaissance for us, won't
• 2:33
  you, Joe? Won't you?
• 2:34
  Girl. Animal Handling.
• 2:37
  Animal Handling, there it is. Animal Handling 20 Yes.
• 2:40
  So you managed to see through Sloane's implant on your tile
• 2:47
  that there is a large long room next to this area and you can
• 2:55
  see in one of the windows but not the other.
• 3:00
  One is a one way window and the other one's A2 way window.
• 3:02
  Unfortunately, the one way window is the window right in
• 3:06
  front of the balcony. So if there is someone behind
• 3:08
  that window, you. Don't know.
• 3:10
  All right, Sloan, come on back, baby.
• 3:13
  Good girl. Good girl.
• 3:15
  And what's? Hold on, You see that?
• 3:19
  You seen that? But listen, looks like there was
• 3:23
  a there's a Maelstrom scavengers just lying dead inside of the
• 3:27
  apartment. That can't do this with a good
• 3:30
  and a bad thing, I think. Well, you know, I'm not going to
• 3:33
  lose any sleep over a dead maelstrom, but it is concerning.
• 3:37
  I mean, I don't know. Do you think this guy is a
• 3:40
  murderous type? I'm not sure I'm.
• 3:42
  Not about to lose the rest of my dinner if we don't land in a
• 3:45
  minute. All right, well, I guess I'll
• 3:48
  sit her down, huh? OK, so Jeff, this Jerry has a
• 3:52
  silent running thing, right? It's a silent running thing on
• 3:55
  the panel. So if you want to do that, you
• 3:57
  have to roll stealth as well as pilot air vehicle.
• 4:00
  So there's a risk reward with this because obviously you could
• 4:02
  fail in need of those checks. Yeah, but if you're successful,
• 4:05
  you can land silently on the balcony.
• 4:07
  That is, the plan is to engage silent mode and try to land on
• 4:13
  top of this apartment building with nary a whisper.
• 4:16
  Unnoticeable. Roll for it.
• 4:19
  Engage your core skills to 19 for Stealth Excellent and a 14
• 4:25
  for Pilot air vehicle. You've got +2.
• 4:28
  Don't forget because you want. To NCPD jumpsuit over your
• 4:31
  regular outfit. And you hover silently as you
• 4:35
  get close to the building, engaging these blades that spin
• 4:38
  at a slightly different oscillation to cancel out the
• 4:40
  sound waves. And your whole vehicle goes get
• 4:42
  silent. It really is fairly.
• 4:44
  It's unsettling. This wire just disappears in a
• 4:48
  flash as you hit the button. And you watch this timer
• 4:50
  countdown. And it looks like the system can
• 4:52
  keep this stealth running as long as you roll.
• 4:55
  Well, for around about 10 minutes.
• 4:56
  So if you leave the vehicle running on the balcony, no one
• 5:00
  would notice even if you left it running to go straight away,
• 5:02
  which would give you an advantage.
• 5:04
  However, that 10 minutes is up. It'll start making a lot of
• 5:07
  noise. So as you land on this balcony,
• 5:10
  do you turn off that gyrocopter, Jeb?
• 5:11
  Yeah. Wait, no, we're going to keep it
• 5:15
  running. Let's do this quick.
• 5:16
  I'm. Going to be honest, you think we
• 5:17
  can do this in 10 minutes? I think we can.
• 5:19
  Let's get going. Come on now.
• 5:21
  We gotta get going. Hurry.
• 5:22
  Just turn it on. Jeff, I do not think we get
• 5:25
  this. Come on, I've been known to be
• 5:28
  quick. Rock, paper, scissors.
• 5:30
  Jump Rock. Paper, scissors, shoot.
• 5:33
  All right. Book scissors.
• 5:36
  OK, one more time. Rock, paper, scissors.
• 5:41
  Shoot. All right, fine.
• 5:42
  Shut her down. Shut off the gyrocopter.
• 5:45
  There on the balcony is a little coffee table, 2 chairs, and your
• 5:49
  own reflection in the glass window that covers most of the
• 5:53
  wall. A little further north is a
• 5:55
  door. It is open.
• 5:57
  OK. Well, let's get in there all
• 6:01
  right, but quietly. Totally with you on that.
• 6:04
  Here's the clean jab we also need to take into account here.
• 6:07
  Yes, we did just land very silently.
• 6:11
  However, we landed silently in front of a one way glass and
• 6:16
  nobody has made any sounds or attempt to come out to see what
• 6:21
  the Hell's going on. So that should be something that
• 6:24
  recognizes to you. Yeah, You know, in hindsight, we
• 6:27
  we, we should. So yes, very quietly, let's go
• 6:33
  on in. I'll let you lead.
• 6:36
  All right, I'm listen, I'm going to, I'm going to peek the door
• 6:39
  open and then you're going to you're going to to, if I see
• 6:43
  anything, I'm going to quickly close it.
• 6:45
  And if I don't see nothing, I'm going to open it up and then you
• 6:48
  go in. All right.
• 6:50
  OK. OK, I'm going to peek.
• 6:53
  I don't see anything going go in, go, go, go.
• 6:56
  All right, Oh shit, there's a drone.
• 6:58
  Roll Stealth 2121. Fantastic, yes, You don't set
• 7:03
  off any motion detectors or turn on the drone.
• 7:06
  As you step into the room, though, you smell the smell of
• 7:10
  fairly fresh blood. Yeah, the guy you saw through
• 7:13
  the window didn't die that long ago.
• 7:17
  It was fresh. I smell it.
• 7:19
  And your mouth begins to salivate.
• 7:21
  Jeb Roses torture drugs. Name Sue Success.
• 7:26
  At a full 17, Yes. Wait, wait, hold on.
• 7:29
  Look at the dead body. I'm still I could.
• 7:31
  You don't. Need to eat it at all.
• 7:34
  I can I can smell the the cause of death.
• 7:38
  It was. I was going to give you
• 7:41
  something better than that. Oh, OK.
• 7:45
  You smell the blood of more than one person.
• 7:52
  Oh, he ain't the only one bleeding around here, Retro.
• 7:55
  Why have someone else dead or bleeding at least?
• 7:59
  All right, well, I guess just keep an eye out.
• 8:02
  Let's keep moving. OK, well, fine, Fuck.
• 8:07
  All right. Oh wait, there's a drug down
• 8:09
  there too. Careful.
• 8:11
  Jump, jump over to the side. You're behind it, but here, hide
• 8:14
  behind the the bed of me. And as you get closer to the
• 8:19
  east wall, you can hear the other room that the television
• 8:25
  is on. You hear that?
• 8:27
  Here's the thing, guys, no one's meant to be home.
• 8:30
  Oh, he must have his dog home or sometimes, you know, or his pet,
• 8:35
  because sometimes I leave the TV on for for slow and I'm away,
• 8:39
  you know, just. Kind of your hand.
• 8:41
  It's like white noise, you know, makes you feel a little bit more
• 8:43
  comfortable when when she's low give.
• 8:45
  Me a hand. OK.
• 8:48
  I smack his hand. Ow.
• 8:50
  Who's that? Come on, let's think about this.
• 8:54
  They don't have a pet. This is Danny Dark Side.
• 8:57
  Danny Dark side don't like dogs? Danny dark side don't like
• 8:59
  anything but money. What about rabbits?
• 9:01
  I heard that he does have a thing for rabbits.
• 9:04
  Nope, not even rabbits. Really.
• 9:07
  Well, OK, I guess in that case, weapons out.
• 9:11
  Just give it a real quick peek. Night City.
• 9:26
  If you look at a map of North America, somewhere on the
• 9:28
  western edge, you'd see an inky black dot with fingers pressing
• 9:32
  into the side of the continent. That's where you find Night
• 9:34
  City, And somewhere in the middle of that inky black dot is
• 9:38
  a giant smoking hole, like the universe itself drew iron and
• 9:42
  shot straight through the city. Radiation turned the sky red.
• 9:47
  But our story starts a little further South, in a dive bar the
• 9:51
  shortstop. Welcome to Night City and
• 9:55
  welcome to Cyberpunk Edge of Extinction.
• 9:59
  Infinite Sided Dice presents Cyberpunk Edge of Extinction, a
• 10:02
  Cyberpunk Red actual play. Watch now at youtube.com slash
• 10:07
  at Infinite Sided Dice catch you later chums.
• 10:25
  Yeah. All right.
• 10:26
  You said you want the peek, so peek.
• 10:28
  I'm peeking, I'm peeking. I don't need your breath in my
• 10:32
  vents. I'm sorry.
• 10:33
  I just I just you. Know yeah, we gotta start
• 10:36
  moving. How are you going to look
• 10:38
  through this? Door Mantra I I'm going to look
• 10:43
  through this door. It's already, it's already
• 10:46
  cracked open, right? There's there's space around it.
• 10:50
  You haven't opened it. It is a closed.
• 10:52
  Door. Then I'm going to fall back to a
• 10:54
  good old retro tactic from from the days prior and use my tool
• 11:01
  hand to scoot out that little mirror out from my hand and try
• 11:08
  to slip it underneath the door. See what I can see.
• 11:11
  Cool. Cybertech 29, yes, 29 you're
• 11:17
  able to Cybertech, I suppose. Cybertech, yeah, I guess it is
• 11:20
  Cybertech, yeah. Well, Peaky, Peaky loo Oh.
• 11:30
  As you peek into the room. All right, Jeff, there's two
• 11:35
  Chrome Dicks just chilling out. There's just.
• 11:38
  Chrome Dicks in there well. Maelstrom, but you know, Chrome
• 11:42
  decks all chromed out and shit. There's two of them sitting
• 11:48
  there. One of them is watching TV,
• 11:51
  sitting on a table like 10 inches away.
• 11:55
  Obviously you can see why he needs to get the, you know,
• 11:58
  cyber gear to be able to see because it's way too close to
• 12:01
  TV. The other one, a little bit from
• 12:04
  the corner, I can't hear what he's saying, but he's like
• 12:07
  mumbling something. Sounds a little annoyed I think.
• 12:12
  The one in the middle of the room is is whipping their hair
• 12:15
  around. They've got sort of a long hair
• 12:16
  off the side. Their body is really well formed
• 12:20
  and the corset piece that they're wearing shows off
• 12:23
  they're quite ample bosom. Ample, you say?
• 12:26
  I mean, that's the, that's the. It's no need to get horny.
• 12:30
  That's like the best term I could say without sounding like
• 12:33
  a perv, although it is kind of, it's hard to describe it without
• 12:37
  it. I mean, you know.
• 12:38
  But as they turn back away from you, you can see that they're
• 12:41
  talking to someone in the kitchen and they seem a little
• 12:43
  irate, but they're pretty far away and you can only barely
• 12:46
  hear what they're saying. It comes to our.
• 12:48
  Souls, should we get in there? And oh, hold on, hold on.
• 12:53
  Remind me, do we need to kill these people?
• 12:57
  I don't think so. We don't need to kill them.
• 13:01
  So it's it's AI mean Looks like there's already one of them dead
• 13:06
  here already. So.
• 13:08
  So. Question is, is that look more
• 13:12
  than likely it sounds like somebody's trying to beat us to
• 13:14
  the punch on this one. So what you're?
• 13:16
  Saying is that maybe we could do a classic retro and jab tag team
• 13:26
  bruise. Yeah, yeah, we could definitely
• 13:29
  do a bruise Question is, is how we're going to do it with
• 13:32
  Maelstrom, You know how they are.
• 13:33
  Just shoot first, ask questions, never.
• 13:37
  Say what you're saying is that if we walk in and pretend to be
• 13:40
  janitors that we will get shot. Yeah, if we try to act like
• 13:45
  we're somebody who's supposed to be here, they'll probably get
• 13:49
  rid of us because, you know, we are do sense to be tied up.
• 13:55
  But if we're but. If we pretend to be people that
• 13:57
  aren't supposed to be here, then they'll shoot us without any
• 14:00
  remorse because we're not supposed to be here anyway.
• 14:03
  Well damn, we'd have a conundrum.
• 14:06
  All right, let's figure out a plan real quick.
• 14:09
  Brainstorm. I'm going to put our foreheads
• 14:11
  together and really think on it. OK.
• 14:17
  Very good Iona, do you think we should like?
• 14:21
  To Danny. Talk.
• 14:23
  To him, I mean, we should eventually for sure, but
• 14:28
  however. We.
• 14:32
  Could talk to his assistant instead.
• 14:34
  I'm sure that who is it? What is their name?
• 14:37
  Jane. I'm sure Jane has the
• 14:40
  information we're looking for as well.
• 14:41
  But there is the getting the DNA.
• 14:46
  Yes, I might. What are you thinking?
• 14:52
  To figure out a way to get that, well, not my normal methods, but
• 15:03
  Phoebia has a devious look on her face.
• 15:07
  Your face is kind of flushing a little bit.
• 15:08
  What do you a friend it's. The outfits, it's definitely the
• 15:12
  outfits. I think you you, you all look
• 15:14
  fabulous. No, you're, you're, you're
• 15:16
  right, Vendell. I think the outfit has given me
• 15:19
  a boost of confidence. Perfect, I think.
• 15:23
  I think I'm going to go talk to Danny, you know?
• 15:28
  All right, do you need any liquid courage or anything or
• 15:32
  do. You have any perf?
• 15:33
  Do you have any? Do you have any nice perfumes?
• 15:36
  Oh yeah, definitely, definitely. I'm, I have my little my little
• 15:42
  bag here and I'm just rifling through it.
• 15:44
  Rifle through bag sounds. What's it called?
• 15:50
  It's it's called Honeysuckle Dewdrop.
• 15:52
  Oh. It's a it's.
• 15:55
  A It's a light floral scent with a sandalwood undertone.
• 16:01
  Lovely you. Know.
• 16:03
  I think you'll like it I. Think that'll do the trick?
• 16:06
  You know what? You need you need something
• 16:07
  darker. Hold on, I feel like.
• 16:09
  I feel like the the most expensive, the more expensive a
• 16:13
  perfume is, the less interesting the name is.
• 16:16
  You know she's on #5. She's on #5. #5.
• 16:23
  Truly and. That was fucking Gucci Bloom.
• 16:29
  Oh, I'm digging. I have something darker.
• 16:32
  I'm thinking something musky and amber.
• 16:38
  This. Yes, yes.
• 16:39
  All right. I pull out Amber.
• 16:43
  Nightmares. Amber.
• 16:46
  Nightmares I. Rather like that one.
• 16:49
  Good, isn't that? Don't they don't bake that one
• 16:51
  anymore? Oh no, it was a limited release.
• 16:57
  I think I've been carrying this around for a very long time.
• 17:01
  So. This is so much fun.
• 17:03
  What? What do you want me to do?
• 17:05
  Anything. I.

  Yes, maybe. You vandel.
• 17:18

  Yes, yes, you get the the stuff we need from Jane, I'll get the

• 20:23
  does a little thing with her dress like where it's like leans
• 20:26
  over as he as he looks over. Yeah.
• 20:32
  What do I recognize you from somewhere?
• 20:35
  I don't think so. This is my first time here.
• 20:39
  Bebe, what's your reputation? Oh, we did establish this.
• 20:44
  The last episode I don't have. I only have a reputation of
• 20:48
  five. Only eight.
• 20:53
  He does not recognize you from the Train Hero video.
• 21:01
  Interesting. So why are you here?
• 21:06
  I'm here as an assistant from a biotechnical Rep that's was
• 21:11
  invited this evening. Biotechnical is Jane.
• 21:17
  Jake, I just saw them not too long ago.
• 21:23
  But don't worry about Jane. I'm just, I just.
• 21:35
  I can't thought this is hard for Tracy or hard for Vivi.
• 21:39
  You're standing near Danny. He lowers his sunglasses.
• 21:42
  You've gained his attention, but there's still another guy at the
• 21:44
  table, and he's kind of standing in your way.
• 21:49
  How are you going to get his full attention?
• 21:54
  Danny's, of course. Vivi is going to Oh my God, Vivi
• 22:00
  is going to. She doesn't have a lot of money,
• 22:03
  but she has a decent Oh, is this an open bar?
• 22:06
  Oh, all the food and drink is free.
• 22:08
  OK. And there are, there are, there
• 22:10
  are waiters walking around the room.
• 22:12
  They all, they all have the same token.
• 22:13
  By the way, all the waiters have the same token.
• 22:15
  It's the the long black hair, my suit, they got these, these
• 22:20
  charcoal grey pants on and they carry these little canapes.
• 22:23
  Most of them are variants on this puff thing that you've
• 22:26
  eaten. You thought it was quite nice in
• 22:27
  the last episode. And if you need a drink, you
• 22:29
  just flag them down. I look to the other gentleman
• 22:32
  who's at this table and I just kind of look at them gently and
• 22:38
  just say I was wondering if perhaps Danny Dark Side and I
• 22:43
  could have a bit of a private chat if you wouldn't mind.
• 22:46
  It shouldn't be too long. And then I'm sure whatever
• 22:49
  conversation you have, you can have once he's done.
• 22:54
  I mean roll a face down. Please, for me she She bats her
• 22:58
  eyelashes. Roll a face down.
• 23:02
  Face down. Cool, plus reputation plus one
• 23:05
  D10. You guys just got a reputation
• 23:07
  increase. Use it.
• 23:10
  Yes. So that is 5 + 5 SD 10 + 10.
• 23:18
  I'm just going to roll the D10 and we'll add 10/19.
• 23:21
  Jesus, you're rolling nine. Yeah, I'll.
• 23:24
  Fuck with baby. Baby's Baby's doing work right
• 23:30
  now. Oh.
• 23:31
  Baby's doing some work. Yeah.
• 23:33
  Got over and been like 18 the fuck out of my keys right now
• 23:36
  all right? Oh, oh, that's a one.
• 23:42
  That was close. That was close.
• 23:45
  Damn, damn. But I rolled A1 so it only only
• 23:50
  added one which is still 18 which is 1 below what you
• 23:53
  rolled. Oh my God.
• 23:55
  You step up to this guy at the table, and as you're trying to
• 23:57
  get him to leave, you notice that he has like executive pins,
• 24:02
  really expensive outfits. You have a feeling he's actually
• 24:06
  way bigger deal oops than you initially saw, but he looks at
• 24:09
  you all. Right, I'm going to go get
• 24:11
  myself a drink, Danny. I'll be right back.
• 24:13
  Don't forget about me. He looks away.
• 24:17
  That could have been real bad. What could have been real bad?
• 24:23
  Well, you know, just that fine gentleman there just ruining my
• 24:28
  chances of telling how greatly I admire you.
• 24:33
  Lottery will get you everywhere. So they tell me, look, I, I just
• 24:42
  have to say I really, I don't normally do this.
• 24:47
  I'm not normally like somebody who comes up and just shares how
• 24:55
  much she admires somebody, but for you, I just had to.
• 25:00
  Well, that's very, that's very nice.
• 25:02
  I'm I don't get out much. I know and.
• 25:05
  Attention is a little overwhelming.
• 25:07
  Seeing you here and the flesh is is quite amazing.
• 25:11
  And look, I'm like that too. I sometimes I have like kind of
• 25:15
  a battery of how long I want to stay out and then I kind of want
• 25:19
  to just go somewhere secluded and rest.
• 25:22
  Maybe that's you. Can you and I can just take a
• 25:24
  quick rest for a little bit. Look, I am I've I've only booked
• 25:32
  three meetings during the gala. If anyone else wants to try and
• 25:35
  contact me, they can take the, the long, the long the long Rd.
• 25:42
  I, you know, I, I the only person I didn't really want here
• 25:44
  was Vivian. So as long as you keep her away
• 25:47
  from me. Who's Vivian?
• 25:50
  Long story. My my full Vivi's full name is
• 25:56
  Vivian. So sweats.
• 26:03
  You know, is that, is that your name?
• 26:04
  No, no, I mean just just behind me, behind my right shoulder on
• 26:08
  the table over there the the redhead that.
• 26:10
  Oh, right, yes, there's I forgot.
• 26:12
  That's Vivian. That's oh, Vivian.
• 26:14
  Mine is VVN, a lot of friends. Friends very different.
• 26:19
  You're not annoying, obviously. Oh, did it not?
• 26:23
  Things not really go well with. Like just let's not.
• 26:27
  Talk about it. Of course not.
• 26:28
  Of course I won't. I won't pry.
• 26:32
  So I mean look, I've only got 3 meetings today.
• 26:35
  Sorry. He puts his agent down on the
• 26:37
  table, grabs a glass with his gloved hand and takes a sip.
• 26:42
  I suppose we can talk, but if I'm honest, I I really need to
• 26:46
  focus on business. I know what business is like and
• 26:51
  of course I wouldn't. I want to take you away from
• 26:53
  your business time. How about after the meetings?
• 26:58
  After a bit of time I'll I'll be in the other room.
• 27:02
  Sure, roll for it. Let's see, I'm trying to find
• 27:11
  social. Let's see 19 + 1.
• 27:17
  Didn't you get a bonus for your? Wardrobe.
• 27:19
  Oh yeah, wardrobe and. You do have a you have a + 2 to
• 27:23
  wardrobe and style if you want to use them.
• 27:24
  However, you just rolled a crit success on Persuasion.
• 27:29
  Danny looks at you and he hands you his phone.
• 27:34
  He hands you his agent. He says.
• 27:37
  Put your number in. OK.
• 27:42
  And you're now standing there as he goes to look at the street,
• 27:45
  you know, lock eyes with Iona and Iona and yourself are now
• 27:49
  looking at each other. Now Iona, you know this BB, Iona
• 27:54
  has a Chiron. You can take out your agent if
• 27:56
  you want. I see Danny hand the phone off
• 27:58
  and I immediately pull out my Internet.
• 27:59
  I am texting furiously. Passcode, passcode, passcode,
• 28:04
  passcode, passcode, passcode, passcode.
• 28:06
  OK, so quickly moment here. So you were out.
• 28:14
  I'm just trying to this OK, this moment that's been set up.
• 28:16
  I'm trying to figure out what it is.
• 28:18
  Iona. Is there something Iona could do
• 28:21
  to get the passcode? Is that what we're saying?
• 28:24
  Just to refresh your memory, you need three things from Danny.
• 28:27
  You need. The passcode to get into the
• 28:29
  safe, you need a fingerprint and you need a sample of his DNA and
• 28:32
  somehow you're going to have to get that sample to retro wooden
• 28:35
  chip. Yeah.
• 28:36
  Well, and. We can't get a fingerprint
• 28:37
  because he's wearing gloves. OK, because I know I was just
• 28:41
  thinking I could try to get it from his phone, like do a little
• 28:45
  forensics or something, but that probably won't work.
• 28:48
  Hey man, it's a good idea. Like if there's a way I could
• 28:52
  get the passcode from his phone? Sorry I'm just thinking out loud
• 28:56
  for a moment here. Could you do like a?
• 28:59
  Like are your. He's given it to you unlocked.
• 29:02
  Yes, you. Wrote the crit.
• 29:03
  That's why I'm giving this to you.
• 29:04
  Yes. I'm handing you the phone that
• 29:07
  was on the table. Yes.
• 29:09
  Handed you his personal agent. You have wilded your way into
• 29:14
  his gracious company. Flirted your way in there.
• 29:19
  OK. Style and you're now holding his
• 29:21
  device. He also expects you to put a
• 29:23
  number in there. Yes.
• 29:25
  So the only thing I can think is in this moment, I raised, I
• 29:32
  raised the agent up just a little bit so he can't exactly
• 29:36
  look down at it. And I, I kind of have a little
• 29:40
  wry smile as I, I look like I'm seductively typing into his
• 29:45
  phone, my number, but just just to kind of like have a little
• 29:50
  fun with him for a minute. But I would like to take that
• 29:53
  moment to quickly and just in a split second.
• 29:57
  So we'll see if I, you know, I might be out of luck, but I'm
• 30:00
  going to take the split second to just Zoop and see if I can
• 30:02
  find anything on his phone that will give me access, give me a
• 30:06
  better clue if I can get the code or find out where the code
• 30:09
  is. Sure, roll up, roll a perception
• 30:12
  check or something and don't fuck it up.
• 30:15
  Yep, I'm also going to put some luck points into this.
• 30:18
  So let's see. Reception's pretty high.
• 30:23
  How much luck do I have? I'm going to put three luck
• 30:25
  points into this wah. OK.
• 30:28
  So let's add three to the roll, since I don't know how to add
• 30:32
  luck to things. Oh fuck.
• 30:40
  Is there any time to roll poorly?
• 30:45
  Does anyone I'm. Looking.
• 30:47
  I'm looking. I'm looking.
• 30:48
  I think I used my inspo. I ain't got nothing.
• 30:52
  You're on your own. I.
• 30:53
  Have an inspiration? I have two.
• 30:57
  Oh, Remy. You can't have retros because
• 31:02
  they're not nearby. That's.
• 31:03
  True. I I will give you my
• 31:05
  inspiration. Thank you.
• 31:07
  You're so welcome. Thank you, Iona.
• 31:09
  Fuck it up, all right? 19 yes, enough.
• 31:11
  That is with that inspiration that you got from Iona, that is
• 31:15
  enough. You go to his messages and he's
• 31:19
  got a message from an automated system.
• 31:23
  Your Alpha and Kappa have been delivered to your assistant.
• 31:26
  Please choose from the following words.
• 31:28
  Watches Tomb Nova Key 0, Chrome 12.
• 31:34
  Your choice has not been logged. Going to take VV.
• 31:37
  Takes a moment to think the quick split second and roll Oh
• 31:43
  Frick. I don't know what this means,
• 31:46
  but I'm going to commit to memory.
• 31:50
  He turns to us. Is there a problem?
• 31:52
  Pageant it quick back to the page and tap out your number.
• 31:56
  Hand it back to him, Danny now has your phone number.
• 31:58
  Yes, and I do give my actual phone number and you.
• 32:01
  Give him your actual phone. Number not a fake number.
• 32:04
  I'm I'm going to do a bit more snoozing, but I'll text you
• 32:09
  later. I'll be here.
• 32:10
  And she turns and looks back and gives a wry smile and walks back
• 32:18
  to the other table with confidence.
• 32:23
  Then the minute she gets back, her shoulders just go down.
• 32:26
  Oh God. And like that was really hard
• 32:31
  with the minute she gets back to the table.
• 32:33
  Who did you embody that was? I don't know.
• 32:39
  I don't know. Oh God, it worked.
• 32:41
  It is not. It worked.
• 32:43
  I don't know what happened back there, but it worked.
• 32:46
  Did you? Sort of did you?
• 32:48
  Get anything? OK, so I got it.
• 32:52
  Oh, he's got my number, but you didn't.
• 32:55
  You're naughty, I love. Teehee.
• 33:02
  It will. Teehee.
• 33:04
  Yeah. Did someone's gum go off?
• 33:06
  I'm kidding. My girl's about to go off I.
• 33:12
  You're not here, Jeff. I'm not there.
• 33:14
  I I did so I while I was, you know, punching in my number into
• 33:18
  his agent. It was I did a little a little
• 33:21
  Snoop in and there's something I do not understand.
• 33:25
  Perhaps either one of you might have a better idea of what the
• 33:27
  hell this like it was something like input from the following
• 33:32
  words for Alpha and Kappa something watches choom Nova and
• 33:40
  she thinks for a second key 0 Chrome 12.
• 33:45
  Does that mean anything to any of you Could?
• 33:48
  Kappa and. Yes.
• 33:50
  Alpha and Kappa. Is it like?
• 33:53
  Are those like the beginning letters for each?
• 33:55
  Is it like WCNK? You're not.
• 34:00
  You're not trying to get into a safe, are you?
• 34:02
  What do you think we're here for?
• 34:04
  I thought the collector was in on this.
• 34:08
  Domino said it was need to know. Well, of course you need to.
• 34:12
  Know but that. Sounds a lot like the security
• 34:14
  system. I mean, I've got a personal
• 34:16
  safe. Do you use the Alpha Kappa
• 34:19
  system? That you you know how this
• 34:20
  works. Yes, so so so that you get
• 34:23
  assigned 2 words a day by a randomizer and then you get to
• 34:25
  pick 2 words a day. You get a list of words you
• 34:28
  choose in a message. Shoot.
• 34:31
  That sounds complicated. So normally my assistant would
• 34:36
  get 2 letters, 2 words, and then I'd pick two that day.
• 34:39
  I moved it to a week though it was tedious.
• 34:42
  Oh so. Every week I'd have these 4
• 34:45
  words I would enter into the into the machine and let me
• 34:47
  access my my documents and things.
• 34:49
  So if you just by chance like guess too many times, would you
• 34:55
  get locked out? Oh yes, it's all the fact that
• 34:58
  there's there's a turrets and everything.
• 35:00
  It's very scary. Oh, OK, so we have to make sure
• 35:02
  we get the right words for the day.
• 35:06
  You know, as long as you know which ones that were chosen.
• 35:11
  Yes, OK, well that puts us in the right direction, but we
• 35:17
  don't exactly have the code. But what did so you read he had
• 35:25
  a message on his on his agent. Yes, he had a message on his
• 35:27
  agent, right? The automated system or whatever
• 35:33
  and your choice has not been logged is what it said at the
• 35:36
  end. So did he not choose?
• 35:37
  Oh, he hasn't chosen yet. So we have to choose.
• 35:42
  Well, you did give him his agent back, didn't you?
• 35:46
  I did. Seems like that was the easy
• 35:50
  mode for this. I suppose you're just going to
• 35:51
  have to like, influence him into picking different words.
• 35:58
  Some kind of social mind trickery.
• 36:01
  You guys are good at that. You're going to hack his brain.
• 36:03
  You got a heisted brain probably in two different ways.
• 36:05
  Look at that. It's like it's a slam.
• 36:10
  Yes, she's going to say. Well, all over and over and over
• 36:14
  and over again. But I suppose the the the main
• 36:17
  issue is. We also need to.
• 36:20
  Get a meeting with him. And his DNA, well, the good
• 36:24
  thing the second-half of the good news of this story is,
• 36:28
  well, I think I managed to get him to meet up later.
• 36:33
  Oh, that's good. So if we need more delay, you
• 36:36
  can use your flirting flirting hours to to sort of delay him.
• 36:42
  That's what I'm hoping. That was.
• 36:44
  Good. I like it.
• 36:44
  No. No, that's a good idea.
• 36:45
  Well then, baby, I was hoping I could maybe get his DNA.
• 36:48
  You know, we we swap a little spit.
• 36:55
  We might even be able to pull a finger.
• 36:56
  Tea and gets intensely uncomfortable that.
• 37:00
  Was that was my? Idea he he he he, he was it was
• 37:03
  Jade's idea, to be honest, it's. A great idea.
• 37:07
  It's a great, I love, I love the process.
• 37:09
  If you if that's how you want to get his DNA and for it, it's
• 37:12
  great. Well, yes, so, but he was very
• 37:16
  adamant about doing all of his meetings and stuff first
• 37:19
  business first, then pleasure all.
• 37:21
  Right. Yes.
• 37:22
  So I guess for the time being we can just maybe see if we can get
• 37:30
  more information. I don't know if we really need
• 37:33
  Jane now. Well.
• 37:35
  If the collector said that the assistant would choose to and
• 37:39
  that the collector would choose to, so perhaps Jane.
• 37:42
  No, the assistant would get. To.
• 37:44
  Would get to the assigned to. Sorry my my bad.
• 37:47
  Yes, the assistant was assigned to, so perhaps Jane was assigned
• 37:50
  2 words already today. Yes, so we still.
• 37:56
  Need it, but I have an idea. Oh.
• 37:58
  What's your idea, Ayana? Well, we send Risky in on one of
• 38:02
  the meetings because Jane is holding the meetings, the
• 38:06
  original meet, the preliminary meetings, correct?
• 38:10
  Yes. Well, we, I send Risky and
• 38:13
  attach it to Jane's heel. Jane walks on in if there's a
• 38:16
  computer and they're great. If not, hopefully they set down
• 38:20
  their agent. We get fresh pee until work is
• 38:23
  magic. But now you've got to try and.
• 38:26
  Get risky. On to Jane.
• 38:27
  Right. OK.
• 38:29
  Well, that's our next step. Next time on no latency.
• 38:48
  Did you get this idea again from?
• 38:50
  You ever seen that movie Weak Nuts at Berthas?
• 38:54
  How did it go? What do you mean?
• 38:55
  Have you? Ever listened to the show?
• 38:57
  I mean, I have an actual voice box, not a computer voice box.
• 39:00
  Jeff, what are you saying? Just 'cause I have a TV for a
• 39:01
  head, suddenly I can speak an electronic.
• 39:04
  Help. I need your help.
• 39:06
  All of you. I need all of you around my
• 39:08
  body. Well.
• 39:11
  Now it's turned into a heist for two.
• 39:12
  Yep, Rudy, Tooty, grenades and shooty.
• 39:16
  And after tonight you can go back to working from home and
• 39:19
  doing the stupid shit he asks you to do.
• 39:22
  What did you do, Bridge? And clear, motherfuckers.
• 39:25
  Jane hates working for Danny, so I'm going to fix that.
• 39:27
  If the brain is there, that's our share.
• 39:30
  So we still need DNA and we still need the codes.
• 39:33
  Because now, somehow, we've been committed to giving up
• 39:36
  everything but the brain. So we're not going to try to get
• 39:39
  the DNA, we're just going to try to oh, no, no, no, you're right.
• 39:42
  I totally. Forgot I'm just panicking.
