Last time on no latency. This We go shopping.
Let's take a look. All right, let's check out the
vending machines. Oh, sorry, Eddie's restaurant.
There's a little Taser boy plushy in there.
You have to have. It it's a great brand. 69
Eddie's it is. Did you want to be fake tased?
You can't. Just pull a gun on me.
My God, my. Staff doesn't knock.
I'm knocking I knock I. Suppose I'll be waiting for you
guys out here. All right, well, who wants to
come with me? Do we know who these people are?
Well, we're here to do business. Sure, people want to get their
drinks before going on such a lengthy walk.
Can we see the heart before we begin a lot of big.
Suits here retro. I think you can get into the
bathroom. And I see a bunch of anime
protagonists and antagonists. Can you read this?
Is that some sort of gun? There are torrents.
OK, back up and you'll back up, back, back up, back up.
Jeff, roll stealth quick. That was a 23.
That's really good. You managed to push the great
back into position and balance it in place and the turret get
lets off. A little beep and then a little
error noise to indicate it has not acquired a target.
Must have been nothing. Berman possibility 90% powering
down. All right.
You don't look very mousy to me. Ha ha, we almost died.
Oh shit. OK, that one was really good and
the only reason I'm not gut busting laughing right now is
because there is an automated gun with its barrel pointing
right towards us just outside this grate.
OK, now be Neil. Yes.
I got a plan. OK.
I'm going to jump out OK and draw the fire OK of the turret
OK, And then you're going to run down OK and kick it with your
leg with. Your Oh yeah, and neither of us
have a smoke grenade. Oh, well, I mean, now that you
mention it, yeah, I do. I got two of them.
Well, wouldn't that help the situation?
I think you're right. I'll run in, draw the fire of
the turret, then throw the smoke grenade at the turret so that
you can run up and kick it with your robot leg.
What if we set off the alarm? Oh, purpose.
No, I mean, that's bad, Jed. Oh, don't I see?
It was a, It was a if we set up the alarm, that's bad.
Don't do that. So we I'm assuming since it
thought we were vermin, if we can destroy it before it
recognizes a target, maybe we can trick the system into
thinking it's just an error. Brilliant.
I don't think that's going to work.
That sounds like bullshit to me. No, it's, it's perfect, it's
lack if, if we can somehow get the riots to chew through the
wiring, then it'll. Basically what I'm saying, Jeff,
is if it sees you at all, that's bad.
So why don't we? Why don't you do the the smoke
grenade first? Well then I won't even have to
to draw the the. No, if I'm going to, if I'm
going to take this thing out in one hit, I have to hit it from
behind, which means you're going to have to go in there and make
it turn somehow. Right.
So we're back to Plan A. Yeah, but we'd smoke first, so
it thinks that you're a rat or something.
Right, right. Because this, because the, the,
because of all the, the smoke that the rat puts up when it's
when it's well. But it could.
It could be smoke from like a train or like a Stoner in the
tunnel. It could be anything.
Right, right. So we could wait, wait until the
next train comes by and then throw the smoke and then go in.
Jeb. Yeah.
That actually might work. You know, every once in a while
I accidentally stumbled into a good play.
Yeah, the train going by is actually really, really smart.
Well, thank you. I appreciate that.
No, I'm actually, I'm actually impressed.
Maybe teaming up with you won't be so bad after.
Well, Bendale, you know, I couldn't have, I couldn't have
landed on that without your help.
So I, I, I, I, I chalk it up to both of us.
Cool. Yeah, that sounds great.
So we just have to wait for a train to pass.
Yeah. Do you got the the you got the
train. Wait.
I can let me repeat that. What's it?
Schedule. Do you got the train schedule up
on your under time? Right, it'll be here in 2
minutes. Oh, that ain't so bad.
All right, So we've got 2 minutes to get ready.
What are we doing? We've got 2 minutes.
Yeah, we got. Well, how's the?
You should pull the grate this way a little bit, I guess.
Get ready to Chuck it. Oh.
Oh, I thought you meant like mentally, but we're getting
prepared. But you mean musically, OK.
Jeff, we, we, we now have a minute and 30 seconds, so.
I see. OK, Yeah, I'm just gonna quit
you OK, I got it. Since I got the grenade, you you
kind of move the the the grade over.
You can squeeze in between me and the and the side.
Of the wall before. Yeah, OK, OK.
Yeah, just just kind of just got pushed over to the sat there.
OK, OK. Now I'm just gonna.
Press the thing all. Right.
And hold on to it. And when I open this, you and I
both roll stealth and then you roll to throw that grenade.
So whatever you want to do for that.
OK, ready. OK, let's stealth now.
I'm going. To throw a lock in here for
Vendel just for just in case. Because they have two lock,
don't they? Yeah.
Well now one yes that is enough. The door is opened and now Jeb
throws this grenade. Jeb roll something to throw the
grenade. 19 bordering on professionals, so I'd say it's a
DV16. You throw this grenade and the
room fills with smoke. All right, for now, I'll run in
and then and like tickle it so that it looks over at me and
then you kick it from behind. Good idea, Jeff.
Yeah. I'm going in.
The room is filled with smoke. Whoa, yeah, it's like.
Wait. I can't.
Really tell what's going on. But I guess that's the point,
eh? Hey.
Stinky gun over here. Roll roll me something to pull
the gun towards you acting 12. Yes it's very bad bad acting,
but you get a + 2 for the smoke around you giving you a 14 to
that role. Bendale gets behind it pulling
out there exit sword and goes to sever it from the network.
This is a difficult task. It's going to be a DB17.
Hey yo, you get two hits with a sword?
Try. Again.
Hold on, do I have any inspiration?
Wait, wait, wait. No, no, I got it.
I got it. I got it.
God damn it. And I run up and I and I shove a
grenade into the barrel of the gun.
Should have. You're in this tiny room Well.
They both have really good reflexes I suppose.
Oh yeah, they do have reflex, don't they?
So you hear Vendel fail to get a sword into the back of this
turret. Oh.
Fuck. These are really well made corpo
turrets. Jeb, you're going to have to do
something. And Jeb, you shove a grenade
into the barrel of this gun, and you can hear it beep.
What do you do in this moment? Ivendale back to the back into
the wind. Back into the wind.
All right, roll that. Roll Athletics.
There 21 Jeb. Yes, you make it into the vent.
18 for Vendel. And Vendel rolls 18, getting
into the vent and blocking it behind them.
I like to think that Vendel jumps in like nice and smooth
and then Jeb jumps up and like pulled in by by Vendel.
I'm going to roll AD 10. Hey Vendel, you were.
That is seven. That is high enough.
The train comes by at the exact moment that the grenade goes off
and it blasts past you and the thing goes off.
Now there was enough mastinations with this.
You did it quickly enough that the turret just fails and there
is a shudder through the whole building.
You take a deep breath inside of this vent as the dust settles.
Oh, hey. Been there.
What was that other thing that was in the room?
I think it was a power transformer.
Oh, do you think that did anything with the power?
I think we should check the damage first.
I'll poke my head out. You open the vent and look into
the room and it's smouldering slightly.
The explosion was big enough that it kind of created a bit of
a shudder, and you look over at the transformer and it looks
worse for wear and it seems like it's still running.
Jeb pulls out his tile. Call Diana.
I I don't answer the call, I'm sitting at a table.
What's your what's your voicemail sound like?
Hi, you've reached Diana Popescu.
Please leave a message after the tone unless it's a stupid
question. Beep.
Oh. So good.
OK, well, I'm not sure it's if it's a stupid question or not
Island. So I'm going to go ahead and
just ask. Well, first of all, how you
doing? Kind of been a while.
Hope, hope everything's going on all right over there with you
and the rest of the crew over in the main quest, if you will.
Us over here on the side mission are doing great too.
Van Del say hi. Hi.
Yeah, Anyway, there's a transformer here and just
wondering if we should go ahead and take it off the system.
Yeah. Hope everything's great and hope
to hear from you soon. All right.
Anything else Van do? No.
All right, have a great day. Meanwhile, so everyone's finally
sat down at the table and Vance speaks up.
Now what I need you all to understand about this object.
The inventor was a genius, but a one shot wonder.
The mathematics and algorithms behind holding a tiny nuclear
reactor in such a small space drove him mad.
When my team found him, he was truly insane.
As you're all aware, cigarette doesn't deal with power or
technology. I just want my Commission and
miss fruits so that it could be part of an investment.
I misunderstood that that was code for something and here I
am. Lovely to meet you all.
Yes. I don't have anything to say to
these people. Well, Continental brands could
certainly do with this kind of product.
Can you imagine a vendor machine that does not require power or
the potential for portable food creation?
If we are here for the power of the people, we're also here for
the power of the city. Says Jessica Scythe Zeke Boulder
lifts his. Head well, of course, you know
with the Zeke rafter you could really use product to you know
make make machine powerful not have to charge, not have to
charge big deal. People like it when you not have
to charge. I notice, you know, wireless
charging was really big for a while, but not have to charge at
all, way better and plus we can then charge them for the entire
new object saying that heart is difficult to remove, you know,
obsolescence be very good for investment.
All of you invest in company, We take it, we take it.
It is obviously ours for me to be there.
I am down. Celine Basque chimes in.
Well, the thing with power is, one of the main things we have
to fight with, with our augmetics is not having internal
power. That's sufficient.
Can you think of the augments that we could sell with power
cells based on this technology or even if we could miniaturize
it, obviously that would prolong the investment, but could
definitely do well for everyone in business.
Mr. Mastic from Petrochem. See, The thing is, I think this
is bad for all of us. Just like with the electric
cars, we need to snuff that out for as long as possible so we
can sell more of that black stuff, you know what I mean?
So I vote, but we sell it to Petrocam with my bid and then we
keep that and well, we, we, we all invest in the advanced
energy the Petrocam can provide. So that, that that's my position
and I think that's all of us at the table.
Would you not agree? All right.
So everyone else has made their statement.
Biotechnica, would you like to say anything else?
Well, if we are worrying about the people here, I think that
biological, technical advancements such as this heart
is only going to better serve the people than fossil fuels and
augments. I just have to think on it.
Are you saying that Biotechnic is some kind of neutral ground
and they'll rent out this deck to everyone, making it a equal
investment? That's not something that I am
saying, but it's not something I'm not saying.
Oh. Business.
I like such business talk. And then Miss Fruits stands at
the screen, points their hand, and the Nuclear Heart appears at
the screen behind Vance. He turns around to look at you
all. Look up.
She looks at you all. And the bidding will start at
100,000 eddies. As they finish that sentence,
the whole building shakes and drink.
Oh. Kind of feels like an explosion
is. That an explosion.
God, will you check if there was an explosion?
And if you're not careful, the jig is up.
What? What's going on?
I whisper. Metro.
And that's when you get a transcript of the voicemail that
Jess sent you earlier. It's badly translated, but you
get the gist. They have to blow up a turret.
I forward the transcription to VVN.
What I mean, have I gotten anything from Vendel about the
power thing? Yes.
So you know that there is a power transformer back there and
Vendale also says you might have to cover for that.
It was loud. No, I I've been down in the
tunnels before. Trains are quite loud and you
know, with all of the rubble and destruction that has happened in
this station, it's most likely that a train coming by may have
made some rocks fall. Again, I not quite sure.
In fact, I would say that it goes to show you've yet to
reveal anything to us yet, Miss Fruits or Miss or Mr. Lester.
Whatever do you mean? Well, we've talked about the
pros have said heart, but what could go wrong with a nuclear
operated power source? What are things that in buying
this investment that we are now attaching ourselves to, you have
yet to release that to any of us?
Only showing us the beautiful leaves of the flower, but not
the thorns, one could say. The the radiation is less than
you'd get living in Night City, and when it fails, the half life
of the object kills. The it's an ingenious piece of
tech. If you can break it, it just
stops. But how does that work?
That's that's probably the biggest thing.
In order to replicate this, you would have to do that.
We stole it from the madman. He kept the he kept the plans in
his head. Yeah, that's right.
And you killed. It it's always the crazy ones
that are best to steal from. I do think medics came from in
the first place. So hold on, Mr. Lester, just to
illustrate, just so my boss can understand here you found the
person that created this heart ingenious plan.
They kept all the records in their head and instead of say
perhaps, you know, putting up some charges, locking them down,
potentially even maybe putting them into a brain dance so you
could get said figures out of their head, you just kill them.
So now you have to now pay more money to retroactively reverse
engineer said heart, which who knows how much extra money
that's going to be so. Money release an object for
anyone at the table, but it's more than if we wanted to
extract memories or work with someone's mind, we'd have to
involve Arasaka, and that's is not something that the investor
group does anymore. It's a little distasteful.
Arasaka or the act of not including them.
Oh no, Arasaka. Oh good, you're on our side.
This is spicy. Role persuasion both retro and
Iona, but also can Vivi if you wanted to add anything to this
you. Can I think Vivi feels very out
of her element here with all the like, all this like corpo speak.
So she's kind of like quietly watching and she whispers.
Yeah, she does whisper. Like little comments to Retro
like this is spicy. Retro and Iona rolled 18 and 17
respectively, enough to convince everyone to remain seated.
Miss Fruits still asks the guards to report from the
tunnel. Is everything in the tunnel all
right? Yeah, yeah, just had a kind of a
bang, but everything seems to be fine.
The power flicked a little bit in the hallway.
Oh, that's. Not good, I'll start there.
Auction. And she stops communicating.
That just seems to be a train or something.
Maybe there was a car bomb Anyway, so who's taking the
heart? They'd start at 100,000 eddies.
115,000. All right.
Oh well, I'm going to say 250. DM.
Yes, 250 thousand. Can I in using my Chiron in my
tile and such, can I do a search on the garden to find any dirt
on said people and their companies to use in a way
against them in our bidding? Sure.
We're up for it. Continental Brands puts down
300,000. 300,000 They're really bidding up fast.
Well this is a slow part. If you thought that was spicy,
just wait till the Tabasco about to get dropped on this bitch.
Oh man. I'm I look around the room, I
make eyes at Vivi and Remy. Should I bid again?
400,000 for Rocklin Augmetics. Keep going. 500,000.
Yeah, yeah. 500,000 from Biotech 550,000.
Yes, that would be me of 550,000.
What did I find him? You rolled 16 and you discover
that two of the people who came to the last investors meeting
are dead. Holy shit.
Did I find out on whether or not the on anything that could
potentially corresponding such as they were the lowest bidders,
they were the highest bidders. They were the lowest bidders,
but the only people other than Miss Fruits who was at any of
those meetings. Vance.
Vance, Yes. Which one was Vance?
He's the guy from Ziggurat. Oh, that's right, that's right.
Who isn't here to buy, he's just here to take his Commission.
Who were the other two that died?
But one from Biotechnica and one from Rock.
Did I get their names? Sure got Patrick Stalwart and
Becky Twist. Hey V, I'm going to say quietly.
Hey V, keep an eye out real quick while I check something.
Vance and breast fruits. Miss Popescu.
It's really nice that we were able to make it here.
Too bad Patrick wasn't able to come this time, don't you think?
Very, very loudly. Oh dear, it is a disappointment,
but look at the opportunity we have here today.
You see Mrs. Fruit's eyebrows rise.
Vance shifts uncomfortably in his chair.
What did they get the last time they were here?
Do you remember? Patrick didn't get anything.
Oh. Just went missing.
Strange. We're, we're, we're, we're,
we're here to talk about the beard, you know?
What about previous? Oh.
You're right, 1,000,000. DV spits out her glowing drink.
Do you spit it at anybody? Yeah, not Miss Fruits, the other
sketchy 1. Are you spitting your glow drink
at Zeal Mastic? Yes, I spit my glow drink out at
Zeal. All right.
So he is directly to your left and then across the table is
Jezebel from Continental Branch. Shit, I'm using my inspiration,
OK? Is it acting?
I I mean what? You could also do something
like, I don't know Streetwise or I don't know anything else. 15
yes, that's. Enough to get to Tracy.
Did I get a? What?
Trank Dirt. I didn't buy it.
Oh I do, but I think I actually still have trancards in my
inbox. I have trancards in my
inventory. Yeah, so you've created this
distraction because I roll the two.
So you spit this glow drink into this petrochem executive.
God damn it, fuck me. Oh, it's in my heart.
It's in my heart. It creates enough of a
distraction in this moment that you.
Can so sorry thing. Before everyone part finally
settles, I'm going to. Oh my God, I'm I'm going to
trank them. What?
Is happening. No, I I kind of want to.
I want to. I want to delay it.
OK, use your medical expertise to do that.
I'm. Going to I like, concoct a
delayed trunk where after like 10 minutes or something he'll
just suddenly pass out. Yeah, let me see if I can Jerry
rigged this here one moment. Make it medical tech 15.
Yes, You jab one of the darts into his leg and then pull back
just enough to leave him a little woozy as he starts to
fade in and out, but nobody really notices that because he's
still holding his eyes and has adrenaline enough to stay awake.
God damn it. Sorry Sir, I was not expecting
1,000,000 right away. It just.
Is this a you green fucking newbie?
God damn. Sorry, sorry.
I'm. Farting a million every day?
You got to be fucking kidding me.
Sorry, sorry Sir. Fucking hell, Biotechnica, who
you bring? Fucking God damn.
I bring medical experts. I'm a train.
Medical expert, Sir. What?
Oh, it's called a heart, right? You know that doesn't make sense
now. Fuck.
And my leg hurts too. That's really weird.
Oh. As a matter of fact, just let me
take a look at your eyes. You'll be fine.
There's no damage. His his eyes are dilating at
different rates. The drug is starting to take
hold. Whoa, OK, whoa.
Yep, you'll, you'll, I, I don't it's your, you know, it's their
drink. So I don't know, you know, but.
Just be if next time you do a spit take, maybe do it on one of
your own papers. Apologies, Sir.
Fucking nurse God damn the fuck. VVVV squints and it holds it in.
I'm glad I drank them. What did you just say to me?
The bidding has stopped with this moment.
Oh God man, this shit all over the table God damn it.
And the guy gets up. You over there bar person give
me. Do you have anything to clean
this up? Stands up really quickly, gets a
head rush and passes out. Oh fuck.
Oh, whoa. His head hits the table.
Oh, whoa, whoa. I'm a doctor.
Everybody please. Oh for fuck's sake.
Says Mrs. Fruits. Oh, that didn't sound good at
all. Bidding might be delayed while
we wait for mastic to wake up. Fuck, I told you not to have
heavy drinks. The bowel tender looks really
sheepish. It does look like he may have
had some Lightheadedness and wooziness from likely
overconsumption of alcohol. He may be out for a while.
Miss Fruits, it's not your fault you can't be in charge when
people are too lightweight to be able to drink.
It's totally OK that doesn't show anything bad on your person
for somebody who can't seem to hold their liquor.
I send a message under the table on my tile to Vendel and it just
says now. Looking for an RPG?
Podcast that isn't just D&D? Roll to cast is the answer no.
No wait, sorry, what games have we played so far?
Well, we've done Cyberpunk 2020. Oh.
Catholo, Vampire the Masquerade. The Witcher.
Kids on bikes. Avatar Legends.
And cyberpunk. Reds roll to cast ROLE.
A new game every. Season original music.
Original stories. Interviews with the creators and
delightful Aussie accents. Listen to us on all good podcast
you. Can support us on Patreon for
bonus con. That's roll to cast ROL.
E Come discover a new world. So how, how, how long do we just
kind of sit here before we? Now, now.
Now what? It's from my owner.
It just says now. Well shit, that could mean
anything. I guess.
We should probably give her a call.
Hi, you've reached Iona Popescu. Please leave a message after the
tone unless it's a stupid question.
Beep. Hey, Iona.
Hope everything's doing great over there.
Just just want to check in, make sure what now we're supposed to
mean. Wendell.
Wendell, what do you? Sorry, I got to go.
I'm going to fuck up. This now means get in the thing,
Jeb, roll perception and I'm going to try and break this this
thing. 1919 You definitely roll high enough to see that there is
indeed a vent cover that would go into a slightly thicker wall
you've noticed to the east side of this little room.
A vent covering that would go into a slightly bigger wall.
Yeah, the wall to your right is thick like that type of vault,
and then the door to your north has the word tunnel written on
it. Hmm.
OK, so it looks like that door there goes to a tunnel and Van
Dale, you're never going to believe this, but I think there
might be something through this other door that this turret was
trying to stop us from getting. Right.
It's a You mean the vent hatch there?
Yeah, it's locked. It's locked.
So and Dell goes to examine this transformer and with some of the
damage, the cables on the inside have been exposed and it looks
like there's a lot of electricity going through.
If they're fucked with that, they could probably cut the.
Power Vendale, go ahead and use that sort of yours.
I'm wondering if maybe you cut the power to this place, Maybe
it'll override the the lock on the door, right?
Kind of like, and this is a callback to just last episode,
John McClain on Christmas, 'cause I mentioned that.
Earlier, I'm not I'm not really that much of A die hard fan.
Oh. All right.
Did you? Get it?
Oh, I got it, Van Dale. You are three for three.
I mean, damn. It's good.
It's real good. It's real good.
You, you get me. My my belly's giggling.
No, that's funny, I like it. Are you going to try and open
the vent hatch first in case that takes some time?
Yeah. You mean just kind of pop it
open with my combat shovel again?
Yeah, sure. Let's give that a go, shall we?
18 yes. It unlocks and opens and you see
into this room the information you got from Retro earlier.
You're able to see some of the lasers.
Freaking lasers. Freaking laser beams.
All right, Jeb, when you're ready for me to cut the power,
you say so and I'll cut through all these cables with this non
conductive sword because it's made of glass.
That's lucky. That is good.
All right. Well, now, just to be clear,
what are we trying to get again? Vendel steps over to the vent.
The box on that table. Uh oh, the one the one where the
the majority of the lasers are pointing.
All right, I. Yeah, the ones where the lasers
have to pop in front of it. When the power goes out, the
lasers will turn off. All right, so should be.
Because those require electricity.
Now, this is really more of a guess, but I'm going to put
money down that that's probably what's going to happen.
That's a good guess. All right.
I'm ready when you are. All right.
Let her rip. And Bendel cuts through the
cable, the whole machine shuts down and you see another Bendel
sees another part of it that starts to spool up.
Oh shit, there's a backup. We don't have much time.
Jeb, Go. All right.
Run, I guess athletics again, I guess 18.
OK, just the box. Anything else?
I mean, while I'm in here, you know, just figure might as well
take a look. So grab anything else, Van Dale
or just this. Athletics 18 that is not a clip.
Bendel tries to push some of the cables back to get to the
backup. The lights dim everywhere and as
Jeb you come up to the middle of the room, you grab the box and
power comes back. Oh shit.
There's like a laser like right by my torso.
Oh. Jason, some of the smoke has
billowed in from the other room and has shown you where all the
lasers are in this room and you are trapped.
Oh, OK, now are are are. These, you know, like what I can
say, are these regular beam lasers or like like are these
are these are these Ocean's 11 lasers or barrier lasers like in
Star Wars Episode one Phantom Metis?
They are single beam, but you do not know if crossing them sets
off the alarm, hurts you, or both.
Well. I'm not going to move, I'm just
going to try to gingerly place the box at my feet and then kick
it over to you. Ready.
OK for all athletics. OK.
Careful, careful place, not the ground and.
And it slides halfway between you 2 now, sitting right
underneath the laser beam. Fuck.
OK, just gonna Well, you know,
there's a skill in Cyberpunk RED that I don't think has ever been
used by any of us, but seems to be the exact skill necessary for
this exact moment, and that is contortionist.
So here we go. Fuck.
I would like to use my inspiration to reroll that.
Do you? Have any luck?
Dude that re rolling that's not going to help.
He hasn't got any points in that shit.
That's not great. Yeah.
Better than what it thinks about to happen.
Well listen I've I've used all my luck in.
At the end. So this is this is this is a
DV15 to OK, so the real. Constitution is can I roll A9 or
A10 with this re roll because I have a six index and nothing in
contortionist. Now I will offer you up the idea
that Jeb tries to do contortionist shit and is bad at
it. Clearly then in this in this re
roll that you have been given, he can change his mind on how
he's going to tackle this because contortionist is the
very movie way of doing this. But my question to you really is
Spoon, is it the jet way? No, you're right.
It's time to roll dance. No, no, no, no.
Because as we all know, all RPGs devolve into just use the same
three skills you're good at over and over and over again.
So here's that. Oh.
My God. Oh.
My God. That is.
Great success, Jeb. Incredible.
All right, I just have to gingerly force my body into this
strange angle. Here and like his like butt as
he's like kind of squatting down like hits the laser and it like
burns a hole in his butt he's. Like all right or not or not.
The lasers. The lasers cause damage that's
you just lost one HP. Yep.
Yeah. No, I I got that.
My butt felt that. Yep.
OK, I guess you're going to do this my way.
And Jeb takes off his help, his hat, and slides it across the
room. So it's a, you know, along with
the box that has the heart in it.
Yeah, and just. Launches himself like a dive
through the air, through the lasers, and like just lands
right on the ground right next to the to the box in his hat.
And he puts the hat on and then rolls out a room with the box in
his chest. All right, well, the lasers hurt
and I'm going to have to ask the doc to take a look at my butt in
a completely medicinal way. Medicinal.
Medicinal butt looking. I'll put it on our calendar.
Appreciate that it's a little tender.
And in the other room, Iona, you get a message that says got it
and Vivi gets a calendar notification to fix Jeb's butt.
Take a look at Jim's butt. It literally says medicinal butt
looking. Medicinal on your calendar now
for tomorrow morning. That's a new one.
And VV. At this point you've managed to
wake Mastic back up. Oh fuck, my seats went oh Yee
Haw. Are you all right?
Can we get back to it? Please.
Yeah, 1.5 million. And he puts 1.5 million on the
board. I think 2.2 is as high as we can
go. Oh.
Gosh these fucking corpals man. Iona you get another message
that says you should probably get out of there.
I I think our bidding is over as well.
What I not even to 5 yet? We don't need it that bad.
I elbow retro. What?
Are we closing at 1.5? It's.
Not mine. 2.2 it's. Sorry, 2.2, are we closing at
2.2? I I put my hand on the table.
All right. To signify that I'm done, Yes.
Everyone, Rocco Genetics will leave with the nuclear heart
tonight bidding his clothes. Yes, funds must be transferred
immediately. We'll see a fund transfer
happening. There you go.
As that's happening, I'm going to lean in close to Iona and BV
and just, you know, team meeting real quick.
Hey, you know the last time they had one of these, the only
people that walked away was Miss Fruits and Lester are.
We going to die? Oh, and the person who won the
bed? That's not good.
Should we just go guns blazing right now?
I could drink all of them. I mean, and we don't need to go
through the Jeb route just yet. Yeah, I'm going to walk to the
exit. Iona gets up after Retro
suggests that you kill everybody in here.
You. I did not do that that.
Was me. That was me.
That Iona decides to you. You say this very nonchalantly
as you walk towards the door. I'm just going to keep walking
towards the door. Are you coming?
Can I say to Remy and BB? Yes, ma'am, Yes.
Of course. As I leave, can I do
technological perception to see if there is any wireless hubs
that I can break into? Sure, roll.
For. It it's like a not that one.
As you're walking towards the door, you see everyone start to
mill around the room. Some of the patrons go up to
grab drinks and Mrs. Fruits and Celine move down towards the
vault. Vance stays at his seat and just
sits on his agent. Good.
The door is open gentlemen, have a great night and I exit into
the the the train station. Good evening.
You're here as the door closes behind you.
Retro are you leaving? Well, you didn't tell me about
what I got with my roll at 30. You find a hub and you'll get a
better signal outside of this room.
Well damn straight I'll walk out then.
Maybe also scurries out behind. As you all come out to this
area, Vendel and Jeb come out with the nuclear heart in a box.
Is it a heart-shaped box? No.
It's a wooden crate to not draw attention to it.
All right, we need to get even now, now, now.
Jeb's butt is smoke smoldering slightly.
What? Happened to your butt, Jeb.
I don't care what happened to us, but we need to leave.
No, actually they, I, I think I agree.
We do. We have to get the hell out of
here right now. OK, let's leave.
Is there a train? Hold on one second, was I able
to break into their system? 30 Yeah, you have access to some
of the security features. Oh, I delete every bit of
footage of us on there. Oh.
You have to roll again for that. That's a lot of data.
Throw some luck into that one, baby.
Three points of luck into that. Yes, yes.
Reference to a dirty 30 Again, thank you. 3030.
Land vehicle tech. That's not what you do, no.
It's like a it's like a land vehicle to me.
Fine, what's? T3 you manage to delete all the
information of it the I'm sorry 36 The only information you are
not able to remove because you didn't roll a crit is that Iona
came to this meeting the records of who they brought gone records
of way what you did visually gone, the records of that guy
getting shot gone, but not the records of who sold to just that
I owner attended because the Reliqui pass stuff was stored on
a non on a non wireless part of this network.
OK, time to go and you all step. Towards the.
Platform and the platform does not have a train coming.
Oh boy. For 10 minutes. 10.
Minutes. We did.
Not exactly, we didn't. Time this for the train
schedule. No, but but me and Van Dale did
time that explosion, am I right? That's great.
I'm so proud of you. We need to do something.
We just walked down the tracks. Oh God, thanks.
How? How about you?
1. Hey, the object's missing sound
the alarm. Down the tracks, down the
tracks, Let's go. All right, here we go.
Down the tracks. Oh my God.
Next time on no latency. Tunnel, let's go.
Get back in the vents. Bunker up here and hold them
off. How do we know you didn't set up
the alarm and set this whole thing up?
He makes a good point. Sorry, sometimes he gets like
this after a drink. No, I'm just going to say I'm
still spread wide open. Nobody's told me shit yet.
We. Clearly established.
Those are very strong drinks. Use your robot leg.
All right. I guess we're using the robot
leg. Yeah, all right.
Well, I do like a sneaking. What are you doing?
If he passes out, it's fine. Oh yeah, I got some boost.
If we do not take him to a doctor, is he going to die?
No, he'll live. I.
Got three of them, in fact. You hit your head pretty hard
actually. This guy is such an.
Asshole. Oh, I just felt like anything
that I might say might, you know, make things more difficult
than they had to be. Oh, let me see, how did how did
they paint the? Picture Oh, another heist it.
Needs a little bit of work, but I'll take care of it.
Well, I got a laser in my butt. Are you dropping trow in the
bar? Oh.
