Last time on no latency. Where's the real Clive?
Oh, Clive got them tied up in nuts, huh?
Right. 3 mimic rolls. There was a bad guy in there.
I'm sorry, I didn't. I didn't notice.
I wasn't looking for it. There's mimics in here Vendel.
That's bad. Oh God, they're reproducing.
Swift kick in the nuts, arenos. No, no, please do not I.
Wasn't planning on it. You can't kill Fintel in the in
Clive's shop please. OK, OK, we're almost done with
these bastards. Vendel your leg.
What we have to fix your leg? What?
Happened. Yeah.
Don't make me yank your chain again.
You wouldn't happen to have a jet pack?
Oh, how long have you been tied up?
Oh God. If you're offering, I'll take
some tea. Chamomile tea.
Not the strongest, but it'll help for now.
I'm never more excited in my life.
Anything you want. All right there, Jeff.
Everyone else has got their ammo and stuff.
The The jetpack requires fuel. Yeah, I kind of just.
Like nudge packable. Good, good.
All right. Well, I'll just be straight with
you. Clive, listen, I really want
that jetpack. And you know, just between me
and you, it kind of feels like this, this last mission of ours
is going to be a big one. And you know, I I don't know if
all of us are going to make it out of here live.
So I figured I might as well spend every last Eddie I got.
So I'm just going to be real with you.
I got 5590 eddies in my account right now.
Right. Can you make this work?
I can make this work. A jet pack.
I'm it's a very expensive item. You know, it's sort of, it's
sort of the same price as the Tencent Jet by Hoverboard.
Somebody say it's 1000 Eddies because that's how much that
thing costs. OK, OK.
I like that, goes very cool for that overboard.
You know what? Lock it in.
Put it in the shopping cart. Check out Express.
Check out. And you said you needed was like
climbing gear or something? Well, if I got hold on, that's a
good idea. A rope.
That's great. We never, you know, we never
really thought about that, never brought a rope before.
But I like the idea. Throw in a rope, throw in some
some some some gas, some fuel for the thing.
True. And you did save.
My life. So I tell you what, I'll give
you the fuel for the jetpack for free, because that feels like a
nice gift. Oh, I appreciate that.
Thank you. You didn't notice me at first.
You had to roll perception. It was passive too.
I was lying on the bed. You didn't.
I looked to you straight in the eye and you went towards the
bathroom. I mean, it's so just fuel.
I mean, hey, I'll take it. So yeah, you've got enough.
You've got enough for two flights.
Great. We have to find other kind of
fuels, make it, you know, that kind of stuff.
Careful non standard fuel could cause explosions.
We've got some. Yeah.
I've got like, you know, climbing Pikes and like winches,
like a full like climbing kit comes in a suitcase, break it
back. Doesn't go back in the suitcase
though. It's one of those.
I see it's real hard to get back in there.
Well, don't worry. I think that, you know, like I
said, rope, jetpack, fuel. You know what, throw in a few
grenades for me. Let's do let's do two incendiary
grenades and just a basic. Right.
So that's 200 for the incendiary and then the the basic ones are
100. And do you want just one of the,
you said it was a big gig. So yeah, just the one regular
grenade. No.
All right, let's make it 3. Right, So that's 300.
Do you need any ammo? I've got armor piercing, I've
got incendiary, I've got all sorts.
You know, I'm, I'm feeling pretty good.
I actually, I'm looking at my bag here and I actually have 12
incendiary bullets so. That was a good.
I don't really remember when I picked those up, but that's
nice. I like the packaging the the
flame really sells it. Yeah.
And look, if you kind of like, you kind of like wiggle the the
box back and forth, it's kind of got like this fun little little
shimmer thing going on. Isn't that nice?
Waste of packaging. That's beautiful like that.
Great. All right, so that's 1 1/2
thousand LDS. All right, you take card right?
I. Mean it's the it's the dark
future. Of course we take card.
There is a fee. I'm kidding.
Right. Love to hear that.
All right, you lot. Well, if you don't perish, I'll
obviously have more stuff when you come back.
Jeb, don't kill yourself using a jet pack.
Oh, I wouldn't dream of it. And you will pile outside
towards the van your items in Clive's new branded bagware.
This little plastic totes that are made out of wheat plastic.
And as you're stepping outside, Retro has scrapped the remaining
mimics while everyone was shopping.
And Retro, I need you to roll 3D10. 3D10.
Yes please. I thought it was really funny
that Jade got a crit fail out of the way.
Yeah, testing my grenades, just making sure it worked.
Lady Luck, Lady luck. Lady Luck Monkey Monkey Monkey
Monkey Monkey Monkey, Monkey monkey.
You gained 13 scrap, one of them was completely destroyed, so you
didn't get very much from that one.
Yeah, it was probably the one I was yanking all over the place.
Outside of Clive's shop, seems pretty docile.
Seems like the building itself is fairly soundproof, which
means if things had gone bad in there, no one was coming to
help. Where you are heading now, crew?
Well, I got what I needed. I'm ready to do this thing.
Let's get in there. And pile into the van and drive
back to the bar. You get back to the bar.
Friends, did you get what you needed?
Oh yes, Oh yes. I turn around and show the
jetpack on my back. Is that a fucking jetpack job?
You bitch your ass. Yeah, I know.
Between your jetpack and my hoverboard, I think we're ready
to go. We're ruling the skies.
I already got a. While on the phone earlier.
Sorry retro, I did not mean to interrupt you.
That's enough, please keep going.
Mine was an offhand joke. Well, earlier on the phone you
requested more information. I have done a scheme of the
garden networks and discovered some information.
However compiling it together I have discovered a problem.
The file was on the table I. Opened.
Oh, I could pick up that file. I could pick up that file for
you. Domino pushes a few buttons and
a file appears right in the middle.
Click Oh. I found an entrance through an
abandoned sewer and with some rumours and speculation from
scavengers and reports from the aid effort after the explosion,
I have managed to put down in file form what may be in front
of us. All right.
So are we, are we like formulating the plan or we just
kind of going into it like normal or or what?
Formulating a plan, Joe, this is going to be very dangerous.
Rat love that. Yep, I'm here for it.
So I suppose that we are coming into the sewer entrance then
Incognito. I don't want to do that very,
very badly. I don't want to do that.
We're going to be in hazmat suits.
Indeed. Yeah.
Never mind, we'll be fine. So we're pretending to be hazmat
people? What kind of people wear hazmat
suits? We are a cleaning unit that has
come in to scrub said area for radiation and any other terrible
particle. Whatever stuff that people get
freaked out by, so higher ups can come in.
And so that's why we're there, to make it look good before the
higher ups get there. I mean, sure are.
We are we going to run into people?
We may find scavengers. I mean, we're going to run into
some sewer people. Yeah, sewer, sewer people.
Well, wait, Jeff, what do you know about sewer people?
I just heard of them, you know. What?
What have you heard? I got to hear.
Will they be hostile? Well, I've heard that there are
people that live in the sewers and they're called sewer people
and they've got green skin and they sometimes emulate the, the,
the, the behaviors of lizards, which also gives them the
nickname lizard to people. And they got fork tongues and
they are ruling. They're a ruling cabal.
Oh yeah, have. You ever seen these sue people
in person? Well, no, but I also haven't
seen the president, but I imagine that they exist.
Your justification is bleak, Jeb, but your mother is sound.
Sadly sound. Yeah.
As you can see, even though I compiled some data, some of it
is incomplete. I mean it is possible they're
also running the some shuts down there.
So technically, that might become Chad.
And will they be hostile? I mean, if we're wearing these
suits and like doing our thing, will they?
They won't. Will they leave us be?
Scavengers have a very easy motivator.
Stuff. Exactly.
OK, well we're not stuff, so maybe we'll be safe.
We won't be able to carry everything I'm sharing.
Here's carry we give them some goodies and send them on their
way. That's good, that's good.
I like it. Can I do a library search?
You can. I want to I want to do a library
search to see if there is any recent stories or such about
said scavengers or lizard people or chuds and see what they're
trading down there so maybe we can bring something.
Library search. Go on.
Now do your thing. Do the library search.
Library Search 12 Night City Scavengers Scavengers collect
oddities, pieces of history, complex electronics, and other
historically significant collectibles.
Well, now I'm nervous about my head.
I've I, I, I'm sure you've never gotten any complaints.
If they want complex electronics and they see somebody walk up
with a head of complex electronics, I'm going to be
like a Costco dog to them. Costco dogs are before my time,
sadly. I'm trying to translate this
binary. I I have the first part
something about the black wall library.
Sure, I got black wall library is what I got.
That's the other one I. Mean I don't have my phone but
could you not scan the QR code? Oh, I did not.
So what do you see? Iona, what are you looking at?
I was looking at the binary I was trying to figure out what
this black black wall library is referring to since this is just
the the main lobby entrance of the Aristocca building.
But you you know what there is AQR code Does that just
translate it binary? No.
Oh hold on, let me pull out my tile.
That's that's so rude GM that that the QR code is is just
location information incomplete. Indeed.
That's rude and it just it literally took me to an AI
overview our AI overlords. That's cyberpunk as hell.
I'm always trying to help you at the same time.
Apparently there's an. There's an itching in my brain
that makes me feel like we've been there.
Before no retro. We've never been to this place.
We haven't had to deal with radiation before.
Oh oh right, I have to get to the other part of the binary
code I forgot. If you also sneak a trick inside
the barcode, I don't know what you're talking about.
You son of a. Bitch.
The barcode. The barcode.
You can use a barcode as a type of language to write something
out in 'cause there's still a. New one down there not not the
QR code. The UPC, yeah, the.
Yeah, which? Which?
QR Code 0 'cause if you look,
motherfucker. Shitting fuck you shitting fuck
fucker. I'm not the same.
Question for you what? The.
Fuck does. What the fuck does Nair Runner
sin? Fer.
Ferny mean. I don't know.
Ferny. You're looking over the numbers
and data on this and a lot, a lot of it seems obfuscated,
incompatible ramshack. This is very cryptic.
Very cryptic I I can't make any sense of this.
If you'd like to see the image that they're looking at, it is
featured for free on our Patreon this week.
Well, Patreon. I'm you know what?
Here's the thing. Our listeners are going to
figure this out before we do is. So true, yeah.
Like we'll probably already be done with it by that point and
they're still going to be like idiots.
You should have done this. What do you mean you don't have
a barcode scanner? I've got a code scanner.
Is this going to work? No.
This visual light is really helping with this audio flipped
off. Radiation detected.
Yeah, like, OK, confirming radiation.
Yes, You're looking at the data and on this file there's a bunch
of other data that's corrupted itself into it.
There's some binary, there's some hexadecimal.
There are QR codes and bar codes for that.
You are scanning and discovering things, but ultimately it's
showing as coordinates. But ultimately it's displaying a
few areas distinctive. There's the sewer entrance from
a street in the mid part of Night City.
There's the abandoned sewer, a debris corridor leading to the
front of the old Arasaka building or what's left of it,
and then an area in there which is a little bit identified and
some of it unidentified. The data is simply missing.
And then at the very end of the lobby is an elevator shaft that
leads down. But that area, that data is
incomplete. It won't load.
OK. So we got no information on that
area. We're going to go in blind.
Well, not to like the first bits of it, no.
Just the just till we get to the elevator.
Domino, yes, being the one that compiled all this, obviously you
can see that part of this very well done document that you've
done isn't loading. Like what do you know what the
potential issue is? Is it Colonel?
Is it a stuck JPEG if you use a GIF by accident?
The amalgamation of data did not coalesce.
To get that information, we will need a net runner.
Oh boy, we're bringing someone else in on this.
Did we decide on which net runner we wanted to go with
fresh or the one that isn't annoys everybody.
I'm here. What's going?
On Hi, hi. Hi, hi Eddie.
The the the location data in in incomplete that's that's
problematic. You you busy tonight at 9:00.

You guys never interact with me. I'm.
I'm honestly desperate for human contact.
I'd like to exist. I would you don't exist unless
we interact with you a. Lot of people ignore me.
Domino doesn't really like me very much, no.
You won't be really annoying. High 5.
High 5 Domino. You know, have you thought about
do do robots can can robots gained the benefits of therapy?
In theory. I hope so.
OK, well, I just, you know, I know that. 9 Can you can you
help figure out this this broken link that doesn't seem to be
working? Oh yeah, accessing.
I'm going to do an access. Little cable pops out of nine.
Wow that's funny, I rolled A9. It's meant to be.
It's. Meant to be it's.
Perfect. He understands every nuance.
Damn it, now I have to give him props.
The file loads and you come up against an error, but because 9
rolled well, the error does not affect 9.
Although some of the information is displayed, it is not
coalesced. More codes fill the screen OK.
What? I I still don't understand
52414449415448 4F4 E what is happening here?
I mean, First off, how fucking egotistical for them to create
something of such like secretiveness, but still make it
in the symbol of their fucking company.
Like that's, that's pretty fucking bold 2.
And I honestly I don't mind. I don't care who answers this.
I just want to know are are those supposed to be like
there's several different colours here.
I can kind of understand for the the top one, but for the the new
one that you just figured out nine, are those like heating
maps? I don't really know much about
what's in the basement of Aristocca.
I'm not. I'm just a robot.
I'm also Biotechnica, so they wouldn't give me that
information. That would be against the rules.
Rules. Whose rules?
Corporate rules.
Like Biotechnica's corporate rules or Yeah, wow, Biotechnica
doesn't try to break into other corporations.
No, they no, they get net runners to do that.
They wouldn't do an AI doing that.
That would be problematic. What if I learned things?
What if you did learn things? I learned something.
I might be able to draw a hand. It could be dangerous.
Camera freeze. Yes.
Yeah, what? The fucker it's.
Been present for but. With my hands like that on my
face. It's so funny.
You guys suck. You didn't even tell me that.
Nah man, don't worry about it. I'm embarrassed.
What? Why?
Don't be embarrassed, I'm embarrassing all the time.
Mortalized in Discord you're. You're very funny. 9 I, I
actually, I think of everyone here, I think that I probably
enjoy your company the most. That's and that's because I
haven't spent, I, I haven't spent much time with you.
That's why. I don't live at the bar, unlike
a lot of these other people. Jeb talks in his sleep.
It's very entertaining. Taning tanning poo poo.
Poo, I would. Yes, there's especially about
Sloane. It's actually quite sweet.
Oh, Oh, well that does make sense I guess.
Sadly doesn't make dollars. Oh God.
OK, so he's the one, huh? What?
A dollar this. Is what you asked for.
Yep. This is.
What I rolled an 8 which is still enough. 9 does not get
damaged by trying to process this.
You watch the screen flash and 9 deletes A Trojan that had found
its way into the file. Oh.
Information for everyone. Oh, look at that.
See you. See, you took down precipitous.
Mainframe power source. Question mark.
Question mark, No data for that portion of the well, so I assume
that we need to turn off the power source before we get to
the node. Are we taking the node?
We must. How do we take them down?
Yeah, go ahead down that. Connection to the node, but not
completely turn off the power source, disabling the black wall
to put my city in danger. It will be a careful balance.
Septic Connection. OK.
So we don't totally turn it off. We could mess with the
mainframe, perhaps make it harder for the I suppose the AI
or whatever is down there waiting for us, make it harder
for them. Excellent or.
OK, from what we're seeing? Just creating some kind of
forward bases we explore. I mean, I'd, I'd say let's take
the security. The lobby security room, yeah,
that sounds. There's probably a gate there
which we could bear and get. Behind multiple points of
egress. As well as as well as
connections to the medical nearby as well.
Yeah. I'd be interested to check that
out. Now, I know we're still coming
up with a plan, but there's still a few things that are
bothering me. What is that?
Well, you've got your mainframe, I would say pretty semi close to
a power source do things that would that don't go well close
together. So I'm interested to see what
that's going to end up being because, you know, power.
Is frightened by lots and lots of bedrock.
It seems, yeah, but heat travels I suppose, and Manframes wants.
To say that the power source is never mind that's, that's a,
that's a spoon question, not a not a joke.
OK, it's OK. I I look this goes back to the
law of thermodynamics when we were talking about before right
in which we had talked about before on how jet packs were
thinking about if using of cold fusion.
Does cold fusion exist in this world?
You'd have to look it up. Have you not done your history
of lessons, Jim? What did I say?
This is why I wasn't going to buy you.
I wasn't going to buy you your jetpack.
Knocked over your drink? Oh, look at that.
See, now you got, now you got. Whisk all over the floor.
Here's the main thing that I feel like nobody's talked about
yet. What's the blast door for?
And what's like no arrow leading out from the blast door?
Well, that's his black wall node one.
Well, we know, we know what the the black wall node is.
It's, it's the it's where they connect to the black wall.
We, we, we it's. Just like a room with Ausb port
OR. Pretty much.
OK, what we mainly discovered is that the syndicate have set
their base very close to a black wall node.
Can we dumb it down the Gaunt terms?
They're standing at the gate to chaos.
As poetic and as a donk, I kind of understood it.
Phoebe, you look troubled. Yeah, I too am wondering what
the blast door is for. Like, why is that?
Why is that? All nodes are under heavy
security. It's not something we want to
layman to God have access to. I see.
But it's a blast door. You know what comes in my mind
when I hear Blast Door? Is it?
Is it blasts? A danger?
Are you thinking like like a like a British man going blast?
That was a terrible British accent.
Let me try that again. All blast.
Perfect. That's slightly better.
Oh, blast. Yes.
A wide AI believe Yeah no. No, my my mind goes to the to
the thing that primarily set this whole, you know, tower fall
in motion nuke. You don't have a blast or unless
you want to try to keep out something that's made to
protect, to protect people against one of the most deadly
and dangerous weapons of all time.
Or to protect the black wall from exactly that.
So to. Stop the danger from getting
out. Perhaps it's to stop the danger
from getting in. So we don't want to open it at
all. I'm fairly certain we're going
to have to get to the Black Wall.
You're telling me that I I have to open up this this potential
errors version of Pandora's box? You've been close to a black
wall node before Retro. Yeah, it didn't end very well.
Yes, we did lose someone. Sadly, but we're stronger,
better, faster. I wish.
And harder. That's the other word I was
looking for. I was also trying to roll
through the words to try and find what would fit with that
list. Yes, move those rather daft
parks. Oh God.
Since we're since we've gone around the world again.
You set it up perfectly. Comedy.
I'm getting used to it. Is that what we call Charming
BB? Yes, actually, very much so, BB.
Smiles along with the. File is a little bit of text, I
don't know if you've read it. It's underneath the thing.
Then it says the data is now fully loaded.
The deeper parts of the ruins ruin facility are displayed.
File displays no data on the third installation location.
Location was under construction at time of retrieval and
disaster. It is unknown what resides in
this section at this time. File displays all known areas,
but some data is missing or explaining.
More exploration will be required to complete the data.
The no data and the third installation meaning the like
third purple, purple leaf of the Clover of the Arisaka Clover.
Yes, OK. Noted.
I mean let's, I mean if we're going to compile all of our
missions together, what usually is in the no data, I don't know
what's behind that door kind. Of danger.
So we're going to. Fight.
Skip, we're going to leave it alone.
If we don't need to go in there, sure.
I mean, listen, we, we got a mission to do and that is
obviously very clearly the, the, the goal of this mission is to.
You got it. You got it, Jeb.
Go ahead. Oh.
Destroy OK. OK.
OK, the Arisaka. No, the I I don't.
I forgot already. I'm sorry.
You guys. What are we doing, Jeff?
Jeff, what's the name of the of the of the bad AI group?
The Black Wall. Wrong.
Try again. Begins with S.
The cyber No. Cindy.
Cindy the Cindy's. No, no.
Add another Add another syllable to the word Jeb.
Cindy. Rhymes kind of rhymes with cake.
Cindy Cake. Oh my God.
The Cindy. Jeb, Jeb, you remember the red
eyes? Yeah, no, the one, Yeah, they
had a they, they, they took over.
They made them, made themselves look like one of my my friends
and sold me a jet pack, right? Right, right.
And what do we call the people with the red eyes, Jeb?
Bad robots. No jet Jack.
We call them the Syndicate. See.
Yeah, no, it's good robots. The syndicate.
Yeah. And oh, that's right.
And then the syndicate, we've been trailing, we've been
tracking them down. We and we had, we had a big
triangle that we made. And in the middle of the
triangle was this place that we're going to go in through the
sewers and destroy the syndicates.
Who are the bad robots? That OK now I'm getting it.
We want to just go for the bad robot Jay.
Oh, I am so on board. Those guys have been a nuisance.
I'll tell you the. Only thing I think will be as
dangerous as our combat will be our exit.
Going back through the facility is less than optimal.
I suggest overloading the elevator.
I'm pulling a Willy Wonka, I mean.
We would need. A parachute for the ever lasting
job suffers. No shooting the elevator up into
the sky. Yep.
Oh yeah. Nice.
We jump on the hoverboard and the jetpack and fly out of
there. That's the case.
We may have to retrofit your new jetpack onto.
Yeah. And I think I know just the
retro for that. Can you fit it retro?
What? Can you fit it up for us Retro
retrofit? Well, no.
Got two person hoverboard. What about your guy?
What guy? My guy.
You just said you had somebody to retrofit this up.
Yeah. See, even Domino understood that
joke. That's.
Absolutely. It's like if he understands the
nuance of that joke. Come on, retro.
Sorry, I, I, I'm sorry, I just hear retro so much as my name.
I just didn't think about it outside of that.
Remy. Yeah.
Do you think you could take this hoverboard and maybe make it so
that two people can fit on it rather than one?
I mean, I guess I could make some kind of the hoverboard
sidecar or I don't know. I'll have to do some research.
Like I know they got those, those double bikes where two
people can be on a bike at the same time.
So if I don't figure out something.
Tandem hoverboard Can we just? Like make it long, like extend
it like a. Like a long board.
Yes. I mean, yeah, I'm pretty good at
making things long. Yeah, I can do that.
The only issue, well, I was thinking like two people jump on
the hoverboard. Jeb carries one person, but
there's five of us. So we couldn't really like fly
our way out of there. That might not be realistic.
Well. If you have the flying elevator
bed with Jeb's grapple gun and my grapple arm.
Wait, Domino, are you coming with us?
Yes. Oh.
Well, that's that. See, now I'm doing my math all
over again now. That's why I think that's all
getting to be elevator. Yes, the alligator kind.
Of safety, the mechanism will be.
The best? Exit.
I don't need to get everybody's weights in order to trigger this
out. 9 are you coming with Well, should we bring 9 with us
because in case we can. Bring nothing because I could
fly. I could just.
OK, you're. Coming, push the elevator.
You're coming with us on this job.
Friendship. Yes. 9 gets uncomfortably close
to you in blinks. Hi.
Can you fit into this hazmat suit?
I don't need a hazmat suit, I'm a robot.
You can put it on me though, it'd be really funny.
If we if we, if we put like you inside of the headpiece of the
hazmat suit and you just float along, it'll look like we have
another person with us. I.
Don't pretend to be peaceful. Oh.
Great. It's like like the.
Opposite. Of why?
Why? Why is this just?
Like 9 The innovation, the jolly, the whimsy can.
We just put. Can we just put them in a
backpack and somebody carry them?
I don't need to be Castro. I'm not a Jeb.
Right, but I mean. Yeah, we can.
Hide you if we need to in the backpack.
Yeah, I'm pretty big. So I'm I'm, I'm slightly bigger
than a beach ball. One of these days, I'm going to
One of these days I'm going to catch you.
I'm going to fix that mute button of yours.
I. Don't know I'm a rainbow ball,
hey. God damn it, I'm going to try to
tackle 9. Oh, all right.
Roll, Roll. Brawling.
Wait, why are you tacking? No, I don't.
I don't really want. To.
Have I just want to have that. That's like I want to have the
scene of me chasing 9:00 throughout the.
You chase 9. I actually did just roll A10 and
you absolutely miss A9 floats higher up super machine.
Just Betty Hill the fuck out of it.
Just chasing after 9 jumping over tables, Tom and just Tom
and Jerry. Pure bullshit.
When looking at these plans, my retro stop retro leave him
alone. Oh shit, he got my giant mallet.
Retro that's invisible 9 has no hats.
How does he, like, I don't know, hack stuff?
With an. Extension table and how did he
do? That.
One time. I don't know what you're talking
about. I was not present.
I know, see, that's why I know he has hands and you don't.
I was not informed. He's a transformer.
I was hoping that the elevator idea would work so I pre bought
a parachute. Oh.
Thank you, I was going to say I I don't know how good my sewing
skills are anymore. We will still have to retrofit
it, so we may have to test them, but we have everything we need
to take them down. Shall we go on adventure?
I mean, I'm ready. I got my jet back.
I've been ready to go like this whole time.
Jeb's so much so excited, he's like holding it constantly
reading. He's it's the only manual that
you're actually excited to read. So if you put time into reading,
I would give you a + 1 to read it.
So here's The thing is that it came with a quick start guide
which is just a little pamphlet. On the back was a QR code to
download the full 700 page manual, which is just a bummer
because I would have read the whole thing by now if it was
physical. But these don't print manuals
anymore. You know, the casualty of the
21st century. Ticker tape. 700 pages from your
butt. Your little ticker tape.
God damn I'm going to need a coffee.
Apparently. So.
What do you do, everyone? Any lost plans?
Any lost things you need before you go?
This is your last chance before you delve into a cyberpunk
dungeon. Yeah.
So those rubber bullets that we have, I am going to overnight
take the poison that I got the Stonefish venom and coat the
rubber bullets with that along with absorbing agent as well.
So that way when they hit somebody, they will also
possibly poison said target. Great, make sure you write that
down otherwise. We will both forget.
Already did. I I think that we're ready.
Great. Well, hold on.
OK, I'm holding. I should probably, should
probably feed Sloane and give her a nice little scratch behind
that, behind, you know, back of the head.
She likes that. And who knows, you know, well,
wait to be down there for a while.
I have to imagine to see the size of that complex.
And I don't know if you've got this.
Funny one flies in and just lands on your head.
Oh, hey, hey, baby girl, how you doing?
Hey. Yeah.
Oh, that's Papa's good girl. Yeah.
How much? How much is jetpack fuel?
It's a great question I didn't ask. 600 eddies a bottle.
Crash stuff. I think I'm going to have to go
out and get another bottle because you know what, Jeb?
I just can't. I just don't trust you with your
jetpack. I can't.
I can't trust you with it. Why not I'm?
Going, I'm going to need you to go and take this time as other
people prepare to go and, you know, actually practice and test
that jetpack outside and fly around with it, you know?
OK, you know what? That's actually a pretty good
idea. And plus, if nothing else, it'll
allow me to take this puppy for a spin a little earlier.
All right. Yeah, I mean, God forbid you
don't know how to use it when we get down there.
Fair enough. So do you take the knight to
recuperate, heal and get ready for tomorrow?
Oh, we should. Vendel is very.
Good. I think that's a good idea.
You finish up with drinks, raise a glass to the fallen and to the
hope of success. Having a look over your plans
and over the evening you solidify your ideas, pack up
your things and make sure everything's in the van.
Make sure you repair all of your personal armor and your health.
In the morning you will come out to the front and Chair has
landed with his jet pack. Jed, roll me.
Air. Vehicle I guess.
Yeah. Man, that thing really takes
off. I, I mean, I, I tell you it is,
it's a lot more torque than I'd expect, but I suppose you're
supposed to keep a, a full 200 and some pounds up in the air
for a good amount of time, so. Oh.
The things you discover about the jet pack is that each tank
lets you fly for about 10 minutes, and it's loud.
Yep, sure was. What?
It was. It was loud.
Right. I got to remember to bring ear
protection. Yeah, I was, I was going to say,
do you have ear pro because loud noises for that for that
extended period of time, Jeb, you could lose your hearing.
What? No, I got to bring ear
protection next time, you know, if a sustained loud noise like
that could injure my, I mean, hearing losses forever, you
know? Unless you're like some kind of
horrible flash abomination. Huh.
Get in the car, Jeb. Hey, let's all get in the car
guys. Cool.
Hey, you know, with Jeb's thing like being regenerative and such
like that, Bebe, do you think if we just like stabbed him in the
ear, drop it, just fix it? It's you know, that's not a bad
thought. Hey, Jeb, come here.
Come here. Oh.
Right. You just took a second there,
but I found that if I just eat some jerky, my my, we'll call it
affliction actually just healed my eardrums.
I I can hear perfectly fine now. Oh.
Shit, what? Next time on no latency.
Oh man, look at the amount of vending machines.
Everybody got their hazmat suits.
So like I'm running around inside of an inflatable
dinosaur. I just added some darts in the
side. There's only machines all over
the city. Like we're not in the
radioactive zone yet, right? Let me carry the P bucket.
Oh, oh, it's a homonym. Geiger counter, I got my medical
bag, I got the boom box. I'm pretty full up everybody.
Vivi's bag is is a finite supply.
It's got blue glass and a glass grenade.
I love me blue glass. Smash.
Any of that is fine. Blue glass is like.
Heroine. Should we convince them to tell
us where it is? I'll back up.
Maybe it is bets that we put Vanna White somewhere safe.
Don't get up. I, I, I know that your your butt
is flat and it probably hurts. We'll, we'll just.
Yeah, Jeff's really good at knowing about how vents work.
Oh, that wasn't too difficult. Well, well, well, looks like
we've got our first is. It a trash robot does is does it
just eat trash? Why is my agent buzzing?
Hello. Who are you calling?
Retro's having a private conversation, could you could?
You do you guys. Do you guys know why I'm getting
a call from the the lawyers of JJ Abrams?
No, Why? Why would you want a call from
lawyers? Robot.
That's funny. That took me a second.
Oh my God. That's Oh my God.
That's the name of his production company.
Well, we said bad robots multiple.
Yes, yeah. And he's just got the one.
