Last time on no latency B required like AB level pass.
Well, I have an A level pass. That's not good.
Are those body bags we may need to go underwater?
We're already underwater. What are you talking about?
I'm not too good at computers. You take a look at that.
If you kill Vendel, I'll kill you.
Oh shit. Are we sure they're dead bodies?
Well, that's gross. What are they?
Doing to these people. There is a body in.
There. I've never seen something like
this before in all of my medical expertise.
I'm going to go over to that vent.
Are you sure that's really such a good idea?
Another one. What's the alternative?
You're saying you're getting there with that?
Let's try this again. Harvesting, yeah.
Harvesting what? Everything had been drained from
their body. Anyway, so should we pop out?
Bendel, can you do the computer? And I'll sniff the dead body.
OK, OK, Jeff, hang up, hang up, hang up.
OK, so I'm going to check the computer.
You check the body, but also there is a drone in there, but
like, it hasn't seen us yet. Which one of us is more
stealthy? I mean, I'd say it's me, but,
you know, I don't want to like, you know, give an inflated ego
or nothing, you know? Jeff, I'd also say it was it was
you. I don't want to do it.
Oh, don't want. No, I was trying to be nice.
Oh. Oh yeah, let me take care of
that for you. You've been in this vent for a
minute. It's a little.
Stuck. It's been really getting to my
chest. Can you hear it?
Not really to be honest, but but you know, I believe you.
So there's like. Well, thanks.
Thanks for yes. Sending that to help for
immersion. We'll move on.
Yeah, let me just figure out where my shit is.
OK? All right.
So what are you going to do, Jeb?
Well, I'm thinking, I'm just going to, OK, here's what you're
going to do. You're going to open up the
little vent at the end of this over, do you?
Want me to push the because there's a crate in.
Front of it. Thank you.
That's the word. No, no there There is a grate,
but there's also a crate with AC.
Oh, a grate and a crate. Yes, the double C's.
So you're going, you're going to, you're going to lift up,
lift open the Gray that I'm going to kind of like sleep
around and then kind of do like a somersault back onto the
ground. And then I'm going to run over
and I'm going to shoot this. What do we call drone drones?
Yeah, the cleaning drones. Yeah, the cleaning drones.
I'm going to shoot this drone point blank with my shotgun.
Aero Electric shotgun, if you remember.
Oh, that does like electric damage, right?
It sure as hell does. That's probably good for like,
drones and stuff. I had a mansion.
Why didn't you use that on the drone clouds earlier?
Well, because I just happened to remember that I had.
OK, all right, so I'll roll Athletics Or should I roll
Stealth? Well, I think I'm going to roll
stealth pants for sure. OK, I'm going to be surprised
because I don't know what I'm going to roll.
All right. Ready 3 Yes. 2.
Yes, one, yes. Go.
OK, one. It's 22 from ready.
I rolled A-15 on Athletics. I got the grate open perfectly.
You watch the crate in front of you push forward as the top of
the grate pushes it further into the room.
You also push it slightly and move into the space.
There's a drone trying to clean some dried blood off the floor
in the northern area. All right, so let's go take out
my payroll electric shotgun from my bag, you realize, and then
realize I'm not quite as far as I want to be before racking the
shotgun and then blasting. You sneak up behind it with your
22 stealth and you lost it. All right.
Ain't bad. I mean, it's bad, but it ain't
bad. You say as the electricity
fizzles around this drone in front of you, it turns around,
only taking 11 damage. It is below half health.
OK, so it's central core gets but you are standing right next
to it, so it attempts to attack you.
You. See that being deal?
Give a nice big old blast. Oh no shit.
Still left. And it attacks you with its
talent. Foot rolling the crypt fail
because again, you critically injured it and missing you
entirely, which gives you another opportunity to finish it
off. Oh, good, because here it comes.
14 damage. A bunch of pieces of it split in
half and it digs into the locker behind it.
The locker dents heavily and then starts to smoulder as it
gets covered in electricity. You see this drone jostle at the
bottom of this area and then full lifeless.
All right. Is it dead?
That wasn't that bad. I I hid in the in the vent in
case it started to hurt you. Oh, no, no.
I took care of you. Don't worry.
Don't you worry. Yeah.
Come on now. Let's take a look at this Sling
and Mother Sling. I mean this dead man.
Right, I'm. Going to sniff.
Jeb, roll perception, Jeb, As you come round to the other side
of the body, his back was turned to the grate.
You see that he doesn't have the same brain injury as the rest of
them. This human was shot in the head
and in his right hand is a pistol.
Now if you take a look here, Van Dale, you notice that this one
here didn't have one of them things busted out of its head.
This one had his head busted out.
By a gun. You still don't know if that's
true yet, but OK, a gun. That's right.
He was shot. I do say so myself Now.
I'm no doctor or nothing, but I've seen the I've seen the head
wound. I've given a few head wounds
just like this. OK.
You look at the desk, scratched on the surface are the words.
Forgive me, I. Was kind of saying.
What do you think he did? Maybe we should check the
computer. Oh yeah, I don't do computer
stuff. So that's all you, buddy.
OK, then Dell turns the computer around like they were told to by
Iona, which keeps them away from the blood of the body, and they
tap away at the computer to see what they can find.
Roll for it. Oh, do you know that song too?
Yeah, the Sandman song. I like this.
After humming along with Jeb for just a little moment, Pendel
finds a file, the last one that was opened by checking last
modified inside of the file structure.
And there at the top is a list of names, 72,000 names.
Who? There's a lot of names.
What? What?
What do you think these names are?
That is a lot of names. And then there's more below, but
they don't have names allocated. I'll be honest, I'm not sure
what's what's going on here. Bendel opens a drawer in the
desk and finds an audio file. Oh, it's one of those chips,
Jeb. Give me a tile.
Yeah, here. Bendel taps away at the tile.
Oh, it's encrypted. What?
Was that like? Should we call, should we call
retro and? I might, yeah, give give it a
go. We'll see if we can get get some
tech support over the phone here.
OK, Retro. Iona.
Hello. Yes.
Did you find something? I did find something.
I found an audio file. I think the man in the security
office here shot himself. What did he do?
Well, he scratched. Forgive me into a table, didn't
you, Jack? He did that.
He did. And then he was sitting in front
of the list of 72,000 names. Maybe.
Maybe more. Even more.
Oh. That's a lot of names.
Well, did you say he shot himself?
Oh, he's holding a gun. Yeah, there's no human in here.
Actually now, yeah. I thought that's what you were
implying, Jeb, earlier when you were saying all that stuff you
know about guns. Oh wow.
I was just saying he got shot and then really put two and two
together about the fact that he shot himself with.
OK. Clear guy.
All right, well, we we found an audio file, but it's encrypted.
It says big secret on it. Oh, big.
Secret. Well.
That's how you know. Red.
Red, Do you want to help them with this or should we let
Fandel do it on their own? I.
Mean if if I need to play the support hotline, I will then now
do you want to try to give it a try without me holding your ear?
Well, I've rolled high enough on Streetwise to get a data
connection between us there. You go.
I think you should. Help them out.
Thanks, Stevie. OK, hold on.
Is it really cold there as well? Because it's really cold down
here it. Is free free cold?
Retro has to reach into their backpack and they pull out him
set of headphones with a little mic on it and put it on the TV.
Oh. That's cute.
I like that. Rominga Support Services How can
I help you today? Hi I've got an audio file that I
need to send to you for decryption please.
Have you tried turning it on and off again?
I tried but I'm worried if I turn Jeb's tile off, it'll never
turn on again. That's fair.
And you're talking about Jebedi, the Street Racer?
Yes, with the hat. Obviously do not turn it off.
It is my power of God. It is still working right here.
Did have you tried any passwords first?
Yes, I tried the one that unlocked everything really
creepily earlier. OK.
What's how many numbers on there?
4. Did you try 6969?
I did try 6969. Do you think I am an amateur?
OK. Did you try reverse 9696?
Of course I tried it reversed. I just turned it upside down.
OK. Did you try it 6996?
Yes, I tried all of the 699-9699.
What about what about four 2069? That's too many digits.
That's only 4340. That's a good one.
I'm driving now. All zeros.
No, I mean at this give. Out the password in my luggage.
Come on. That's the stupidest combination
I've ever heard. That's.
Why nobody tries? OK.
That's actually fairly logical. One second, please, And then I'm
going to put him on hold for a few seconds.
OK. Bum bum bum bum bum.
Bum. Bum bum bum.
Bum. Bum.
Bum bum bum.
Bum. OK, I'm back.
I just sent Jeb a decrypting worm, so maybe that will help
out OK. Is it is the is the green
supposed to flyer and then like kind of whoa whoa whoa whoa
crazy. So animations going on right?
Now retro, I I know we're having fun with this, but I'm not sure
if Jeb's tile can like, do this. You may have to like, hold on to
the phone departed. Yourself.
Have like 20 minutes. And and and that's crazy because
we've been here like 3. So there.
May be a there may be a case of us just sending you the file and
and we'll just keep looking in thermal.
OK. So send it to Vivi's tile and
then we'll we'll go from there. OK, I got it.
OK, Vivi, now I'm going to send you the worm's brother.
Don't mind the mustache. The worm brother.
Should we stay on the phone or should we keep looking?
You keep looking, we'll let you know what we find.
Jeb, say goodbye. Bye.
So you're sending the brother of
the worm? Yeah, he he didn't go to
college. He went to vocational school.
But he's. A trade school guy?
Yeah, solid. Guy.
You can tell by the mustache. It looks good.
Pulls it off. I really enjoy a mustache.
I know his mother always thought he was just going to end up in a
bottle by the look how he is now.
Oh, Vivi, did you open the worms, brother?
I'm doing that now, all right? Yeah.
Retro after all of this faffing a full on like lightning bolt
flies from one tile to from the agent to the tile.
Not damaging either because you rolled so high, but then this
place. There is no thermal bent.
They're powering this patient. They're powering it's people.
It's looking people they're using.
People. Like that. 200 at a time.
I don't know how I'm going to get out of here, but I need to
leave. Wow, OK, they're using the
people. Oh, I don't quite understand
what that means. OK, they're they're using people
like batteries. They're stacking people,
stacking 200 at a time. Yeah, in towers like Spires with
electric sparks going off in between them, and probably
little metal octopuses that jump between them.
Well, I mean, that explains the 72,000.
Or was it 7200? Seventy 2072. 1000.
Oh, that is a lot. Where there it's.
So where are the people? Where the thermal vent is, they
said that there's no thermal vent.
The the quote UN quote thermal vent.
Right. So where we think is a thermal
vent is actually just people. That's where we sent Jebot, Dyer
and Vendel. Meanwhile.
I wonder if they'll work anything out about the with that
file. You know, normally decryption
takes forever unless they get a massive surge of electricity.
Vendel opens the door. Oh, we're just opening the door.
Oh, all right. Yeah.
I'm not. It's.
Unlocked it didn't didn't seem locked, yeah.
What do we got here? Oh, hold on.
What is this bathroom? What is this?
Looks like a a locker room. Oh, would you look at that?
See that down at the end of the hall?
Yes. That looks like a.
God. And go with a sniff.
OK. You sniff the body.
I sure do. And there is a large wound in
the side of their head, like something has exploded from
within. They're wearing a security
uniform. Now Van Dale noticed this one
here. Don't got a gun next.
But and no bullet wound. Yeah, this this one named the
bullet wound. This this one, this one popped
out of his head. So not sure what's going on, but
this one did not in fact kill himself.
Well, moving on, I guess it looks.
Like there's some lockers here and do.
You think these think these lockers are well, you think
they're locked? I try 1.
When you go to touch it, it's cold.
Very, very cold. Makes sense.
This whole place is cold. Colder than the rest of the
room. Yeah, because it's metal and you
know, metal, it gets cold. Right.
That's science. That's right.
Oh, there it is. This.
There's metal lockers. Real cold.
I'm going to open. It you open the locker and
inside are a bunch of random personal effects, but it's
filled with condensation, cold, cold, condensation.
Man, you know, the longer I'm down here, the more that I'm
fairly certain that we are going to succumb to the hypothermia.
Yeah, can't wait till we find that thermal vent.
Yeah. Because that thermal vents are
warm. Jeb, that's an important thing
about. Well, I mean, thermal vents have
to do with with heat, but you know, you could have a thermal
vent there and it's cold. Why did you grab that lipstick?
I thought it'd be a nice gift. Well, it's used, Jeb.
Well, I don't mean you can't use the rest to be reduce reuse
again. That's what they say.
Reuse it. Anyway, Jeff, I found a
computer. Oh, well, you know the drill.
I ain't touching. OK.
Vendel turns the computer around and does a little bit of tapping
on it. Vendel's going to concentrate
super hard. OK. 18 You're all 18 on
concentration. Vendel taps away at the keyboard
and discovers that there is a thing called flush, and
apparently it flushes something in this room and it's been used
1842 times, but the last time it was used it was three months
ago. There's a button here that says
flush, but Jeff, we haven't found a single plumbed in toilet
this entire time. No, It's almost as if this
entire facility is 1 big toilet. Oh, Jeb.
Oh, tell me I'm wrong. You're wrong.
We've only seen one place that that that empties out into the
OK, so. Do you actually think, do you
actually think this one computer sitting in this room that if I
push this button, this whole facility is going to flush like
a toilet? I'm saying it's a possibility.
I doubt it. What do you want me to try it?
Should I just push the button? No, because then we would be
inside and we would be then flushed.
I'm hovering my finger over the button.
Jeb, are you going to stop me with your silly, silly ideas?
I I listen, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm the one.
You guys keep me around for my ideas and I like to think it's
because I think outside. Should I press the button yes or
no Jeb? No, it seems like a girl to
flush us. When have you ever been against
adventure? When?
When my life is in peril. From a flush.
And the only reason I'm saying don't do it is because there was
a big old monster flying at the only the exit to this that I
see. No, we've got the elevator.
Well, that goes up, but flushing usually goes down.
Yeah, but on the map, the thermal, the thermal access was
a dead end. We'll have to go back anyway,
eventually. OK, but you?
OK, hold on. And I run over to the to the
nearest locker and I open it and get inside of it and lock myself
in and then from inside the locker.
All right, Bendale, give it a go.
I'm now support and ready for a flush.
Fine and. Vendale pushes the button.
And Jeb, you hear the weirdest noise because beneath you, a
trap door opens and suddenly suction, It's pulling all of the
items out of the vent. It's flushing the lockers into
the ocean. Hold on for dear life or you're
going to die. Oh, Bendale.
I think I walk your favorite multiverse hopping
game. System jumping high.

The multiverse is a strange place.
Oh, Jeff, don't die. You have to be a 17.
You have to roll 17 or above. Do you want to roll?
Any luck? I am going to use some luck
here. Edit Luck down to zero baby, so
add 2 to this. 22 Jeb you stick your legs against either side
and press your hands against it in the sort of a spread eagle
style it's. Pulling on you.
Damn hard. I need you to roll 2D6.
The winds are blowing past you. You can hear Vendel in the
background banging on the door trying to get it open as the
items around you clink past you. You rolled A6 and A2 so loads of
the items miss you. One scrapes across your cheek
and causes you 2 HP damage. The.
Lifting. It flicks all the way down and
scrapes a line through the tube and you hear the tube close in
distance but there's still pressure pulling and it pulls
against you and it pulls and the door underneath you shuts and
the door swings open as Vendel pulls back and you both land on
the ground. Your shoelace was caught in the
little door and has unravelled your right shoe.
Oh. No, you fall into this area on
top of Vendel, breathing heavily for your life.
What the fuck, Jeb? Oh.
OK. If.
Flash is the that. Flash is the lockers.
That's oh, God, you tell me. Jeb, come here.
I mean that. Gives you a huge hug.
You you haven't felt a hug like this in a minute.
It is incredibly close. God, Jeb, I was kidding.
I love you so much. Please don't go anywhere, yes.
Can you can you tie my shoe? You don't have any shoelaces
left. We'll have to find some, and we
would search these lockers, but obviously they're all empty now.
No, I don't. I'm I don't quite like those
lockers. No, didn't sound like you had a
very good time. All right, Chad, I think.
I think this room is dangerous enough.
You don't say. Should we move on?
Bad love though. All right, I'm, I'm going to go
over to this door. I'm just going to give it a shot
4774 when? The door opens.
Oh wow. Now that one on the first try,
huh? Yeah, you know.
Oh, was he one of those things where they got the same, the
same code on every door? Kind of feels like a master key
to me. Yeah, it feels like they're not
supposed to be doing that, you know, I think, I think, I think,
Rachel told me. You're supposed to have
different passwords for everything to do.
Which I think is. Simply ridiculous.
Now I'm starting to understand why.
Right. Oh, what do we got here?
Oh, it's not a locked door. And the floor, it says.
Wait, what's it saying? Hold on, hold on.
Let me zoom in Just one moment, it says Wilt.
That says wait. Jeb oh.
You should probably, probably like wring out the water from
your eyebrows a little. Oh.
Yeah, I'll tell you though. It should still wet.
And and I am cold. I think I am starting to feel my
extremities feel numb. Do you?
Want to borrow my jacket? You know, I'd love that.
I appreciate. I really do appreciate that.
I'm going to go ahead and put your dry jacket on and it's
going to wring out my my leather duster here.
Now I'll tell you the the, the carbon nano weave that's
embedded into this leather duster.
It makes it very difficult to wring out those nano tubes.
Hold on to water, let me tell you.
Well. I'm going to try and get this
door open, Jeff. Please do.
I'm going to sit in the corner and think about my mortality.
Meanwhile. Or should we tell them or or
that's probably fine. I mean, there's no one here to
run the facility. Yeah.
I mean, I've just been looking through all these names, seeing
if I notice anybody that seems familiar.
Just. Can't you do like a control
control find? Yeah, yeah.
I've been doing it. I can't find it like all I can.
All I'm finding is like the the Kakowski times two and what
else? There's Joseph Pontiano and Moss
and Lawrence Fishbourne and Theodore Logan.
I don't know, we we might want to start like finding out
exactly what's going on here before, you know, somebody
presses the wrong button and. Well, should we continue
forward? Yes, I think or should we go
back down? Well, we got 2 doors here.
There's one over here to the left to help, and then there's
the other one in front, but that one says disposal and that that
doesn't seem like something that I I.
Yeah, I'm not keen to go in a disposal.
We don't care what's in disposal, so we can just leave
it. Let's try the other one.
I mean, it's got a pin code. I just I go over there.
I type in 4774. Oh gosh.
The door opens. Oh, oh.
To no one's surprise, it is Several bodies in body bags and
a hole into the ocean. Oh, I thought we weren't going
in disposal. I had.
I had to look. Oh, OK.
The Proctor had to make sure everybody was in their seat,
yeah. I one second and I I pressed the
button on the bracelet that Remy gave me to put the latex gloves
on the square, the latex gloves on my hands, and I unzip one of
the body bags. Like the other bodies, it is
completely emaciated. It has the ports on it for
feeding waste and a port for the brain stem.
But these bodies are older. They're even dustier.
Gross. No.
Zip it back up. Well, nothing new to report with
these bodies, Doctor, as to be expected.
Sorry, I made you come in here. One of the bodies at the edge of
the room is teetering over the water's edge.
So that's what I'm trying to figure out.
Did they throw the bodies in the water?
Oh absolutely. And where does does is it just
go? Is that just how they get rid of
them? I assume so.
Beauty. As you step over the water.
Not in the water, please. As you step over the water and
you do the roll. Evasion.
Oh, Oh no. Yeah. 19 + 3 crit nice out of
the water. A huge set of crocodile like
jaws snaps out, grabs the body and it gets pulled into the
water. Oh my God, where lies itself.
That answers the question, OK. You are now very wet.
VV steps away slowly. They just have like trained
crocodiles that come and take the bodies or something.
You don't have to train animals if you're feeding them.
They will just come to the food. No, I'm all.
Covered. I'm all wet.
Remy. Did you find anything with the
other locked door? Remy.
Remy, where are you? I'm.
Here I'm in front of the door. Oh OK.
I've been looking at this door I I haven't seen a a pin code for
it. Did you try 4774?
There's a door handle. Yeah, I jiggled the handle a bit
and it it, it was loose. I didn't feel like open it just
yet. And then I heard y'all yell from
in there and prepared myself for anything coming out.
And then you just came out. So I was like, OK, cool, No, no
heroes today. And yeah, I'm about to go
through the door. Oh, if you would like to know,
there is like a giant crocodile ish sea creature, yeah.
See, I could have just gone without needing to know.
That you? Know I wasn't ever planning on
going in there, so I could have just like lived and blessed.
Yeah. So don't Just don't consider
don't going in the water. Retro role perception.
Perception is not a skill I'm good at. 12 As you jiggle the
door, you notice that there's something in the door like a a
card. Jiggle it, jiggle it, jiggle.
It as you jiggle it, the door opens and the card falls on the
ground. Hey, the rhyme works.
My professor Weaving always said to try that.
You've stumbled across an R&D pass.
Oh, R&D pass, is it a day pass or just like full on?
It gives you access to R&D. Oh.
That's like that's like I'm in like theme park that.
Is a level B pass. Oh, I got Abu Pass.
I got AB Pass. Oh, wait a minute.
I mean, someone was trying to unlock the door with it.
Someone was using the old credit card trick.
Let's see. Oh, OK, well there there's a PIN
code on this side, so that's good to know.
Weird. What the hell is this on the
floor? Automated security below this
floor. Oh, B required.
Oh, I already have the key card. Oh, and then this one says I
assume is thermal required? Yes.
Who said that I hit 7447? On what?
On the pin pad next to the thermal door.
So you you just put in your code into thermal access.
I put 7447. It gives off an error code we
have not yet checked. Tried 4774.
OK. Oh, I think I put it in
backwards, 4774. And the door unlocks and opens.
Now, before we go in here, was there anywhere else that we
needed to go? Anywhere else we didn't see?
I didn't see a lab. Oh.
Oh, we haven't, you mean? We don't need to go in thermal
then that's. The B wreck, you mean.
All right, so you have a pass now, don't you?
All right. So good in the elevator.
I do. I got AI got a a Bay pass.
I'll swipe it in front of the door.
You have to make the boop boop sound though.
Poop. Poop.
Poop, poop, Poop there. You go.
And you all take the elevator down to level B.
You know what? Just to be honest, between the
the three of us, this is really starting to feel like we're
we're circling the drain. Meanwhile, Vendel and Jeb are
standing in front of a door. Vendel should roll something to
get this door open. They've been doing it for a
while. So the DV is much lower because
if you do a task over a long period of time it is easier.
You think? About.
Concentration. Oh my God.
It's. I feel like I feel like Vendel
rolls more critical fails than the average person.
And that's OK. That's fine in the process of
getting this open, because the DV for this door over a long
period of time was 10. They do electrocute themselves
on the panel, but they do oh. Fudge, I was wet from touching
you Shit. Ow.
Oh, Yikes. Wow.
There's a lot of electricity in that.
Holy shit. It's like there's a lot of
electricity here, Jeff. Oh, is that right?
Yeah, I mean, that's what the thermal thing is.
It's meant to be like a thermal generator.
Like thermal vans, like they're capturing, yeah.
Like thermal vents, yes. Hey, that's clean energy.
You know you you can't be too right to that.
Right. Well, what's in here?
I don't know. Jeb, you you you lead the way.
All right, well, you step through the door here and looks
like a lot of boxes. Jeb, you step into a room with a
lot of boxes, and on the South walls is a door and underneath
it it says authorized personnel only.
The door, however, is open. Well, I suppose we keep going,
huh? I guess.
Great. And Dell checks behind the boxes
and finds nothing. It's.
Really dusty in here. I don't think anybody's been in
here for months. Well, how long do you think the
the dead bodies will be here? The same amount of time thing.
Oh, the the guy in the office? Yeah, I'd say about that.
That's the last time the file was accessed, so that's my
guess. Did you say that?
Oh, is this a big tube? Oh.
Or something. Fendel and Jeb, you both look
down and on the ground you see an indent of.
A tube. There used to be a tube.
No, I think there's a tube below us, like in the ground, because
look, it bows out a little bit. See that?
Oh. And it's cold.
Well, it's true. We're just cold, so follow the
tube. Follow the tube, Jeb.
All right. Jeb, you open a door to a large,
large room. In this room are rows and rows
of these pods. There's a hum to this room that
makes you feel uneasy, and you take a few steps forward.
You hear clicking in the distance.
Yeah. You see them this?
Yes, I am. Each of the pods glass on the
front of it has been frosted out with condensation, but deep
beneath the glass you see a humanoid shadow figure.
I think these pods are full of people, then Dale and I'd say
there are about 56799101215410151671919202120.
223, I think there are about 72,000 people here.
Oh yeah, that was going to take me a while to camp.
Wow. There's a computer down at the
end of the corridor. Oh yeah, there is.
Do you think these people are dead?
I'm going to go up to one of the up to one of the pods.
I'm going to go up to one of the pods and take a look at this
shadowy figure behind it. You squeak your hand across the
front, and on the top of the pod you can see a little readout.
It says 400 W slash 1.4 V There in this pod is a emaciated human
with their jaw aghast, barely alive as they twitch lightly as
light flicks of electricity Passover their skin.
And they're covered in these tubes that lead in and out of
their flesh in a way that is beyond macabre.
Oh wow, I think they might still be liable, at least not entirely
dead. Vendel has walked beyond you,
further down the corridor, overwhelmed by this horrible
display. And as they reach the end of the
corridor, there on a big screen above the computer, it says
battery level 98%. Oh.
No, these people only have 98% battery left.
They're going to die once it gets to 0.
Next time on no latency. Van Dale hurry.
You son worried. It's people.
I know. We knew you'd find them.
It's a good thing that you have a good therapist.
That's them. When they're done being used.
Yes, they. Got to get rid of them somehow.
Are you all right? Oh God, is it good to see you
guys. Yeah, it's good.
We're all back. Jeb, why are you all wet?
Screw the vendets. I'm going in the lab.
Kaboom. You've done that before.
Twice. Oh, we we've done many a kaboom.
Imploding buildings. I type in by whose authority?
Bad, bad drone. It got out.
What do you think it is? Is it possible that it is the
research? Maybe there's another vent?
I grabbed one from upstairs. Wait, are you the boss?
I make the most money. What is in the pod?
Vivi, in your medical opinion, do you think that we can save
this person? Thank you for joining us on our
