Last time on no latency. Perfect opportunity for me to
test this thing. Out can't think of a better plan
T. VHI can't honestly think of one
either. Yeah.
There are some obstacles. Oh, there's robots to keep on
flying. Stop saying it.
I'm over that word. Caustic.
Oh shit, I didn't turn comms on. Was Jeb saying something?
River. Of caustic Oh my.
God balls. Jeb's gone.
I think I've heard like 2 gunshots so far.
You guys. Be so very.
Careful, I know you can't exactly come over here without
stepping through the caustic. He's way out there all right.
I'm. Going to need.
Some help? I'm going to try my best.
Like a superhero landing. Oh my God, what?
I tell you. I'm going to die out here, guy.
Hold on tight. That was pretty cool.
A very amazing rescue mission, but now the issue is how do the
rest of us get across? So doesn't go where we need it
to go. Well, that's helpful.
Can you bring it back? Can you balance it on your head
and rollback? We should go open this door.
All right, everyone stick together.
And this is a vent. This is like a yeah, it's pretty
wide, bent. It's wide enough for a human to
get through, unlike the other ones you found.
OK. Can anyone unlock the door Remy?
Sure, I can easily unlock the door that's.
Please and thank you so we can at least get 9 back out.
Yes, Retro, please show me how that that's really how you.
Do it. Why?
Did you break your lock back in the lock?
That seems counterintuitive. I'll be honest, I kind of.
Retro. Come here.
Just go over there. You kind of what retro?
Bendel says to you as they, without looking, unlock the
door. I'm.
I'm rather 16. I I should have I should have
gotten I should have gotten a a better pick the block that pick
was pretty worn. You know it's it's unlocked more
other doors. This is the first time it's
bailed on me all. Right, that's broken.
Now you have to use one in your hand.
I guess 9 is in this tiny little vent corridor.
Over here and then there's another one over there.
Could you, could you ping? Could you could you shoot a
laser out of your? Eye.
Yeah, I'm just going to move 20 feet, Iona.
Both of them just head back towards the direction that we
came. It's not going to work.
We should get the plates. I should come.
Back down and then go West. Town home Echo Come.
Here 9 flies out. Hi, I I see.
The plate. Cool.
Did you bring it out? I will bring it out with me.
All right, do you want to do anything else in this tiny
space? Take a moment to mutter to
myself how much of an idiot I was to break my lock pick set
and, you know, just kind of like personally tear myself down to
the matter of, you know, voice for anybody else and.
Just kind of all right, all right.
Retro get fucked up, all right? You got to get on it.
You got to get your game together.
Get your game together, you know, roll it back.
Put your feelings out, lock them all in, shove them down.
Let your emotions completely bottle up until you can't hold
them in anymore. Retro You and Domino are the
only people in this crew who can carry one of these plates
without having to roll for it. Guys are strong enough because
you have a big old body rig. Domino has four fucking arms so
you don't have to roll to drag this plate out of the vent.
Thank you, I've been doing a lot of core work as well, kind of
tightening my inside. To tightening your inside, you
say yeah I'm. Really trying to get those
gutters, those gutters that I keep hearing people talk about.
Oh boy all. Right.
Well, you've, you've, you've got our plate.
Well, you've got 4 plates. Domino what can you have
cyberwear wise? I have 4 arms.
Let me get my character sheet out.
There it is. The Kitty thing didn't work.
Annoying. I have four arms, Talon feet,
said Governor Armour. I have an implanted linear
frame. So you can climb walls or
potentially even like climb a roof.
I have grips, right? Correct.
And you're, you're pretty strong, right?
Well, how much you think? I.
Have a great maker hold probably 1, maybe two other people while
trying to hold on to other things.
Here's an idea. Feels like the best idea, and
you're going to you're going to see that I'm not exactly in
favor of this, but it seems the best.
What if Iona Vendel, you step on the plate, ride on the plate,
and Domino you use your Talon claws to help you traverse
across the rocky walls and help pull them along?
Oh, if we're attached to a rope. Perhaps that could work?
I mean the grapple gun would be helpful, but the person who has
the grapple gun has also a jet pack so.
Right, they did not leave it behind.
But. You know that.
I push a metal plate or pull it. You're pulling it, which I think
would be easier because this plate definitely it doesn't melt
right away, but it it kind of sizzles.
So it should melt enough to be able to have at least a surface
that it's touching to kind of be somewhat in like a liquidy
manner. So it should help the slide.
See what you mean? Sure.
Just leave a little trail of metal as you and you just have
to go real quick all. Right, Everybody get on board.
This is going to be spicy. All right, everybody roll
brawling to see if you hold on and we'll see.
Oh, is this? Everybody.
Yeah, why not? Oh, I thought you said you could
only take two people. Of course.
Everyone, meaning everyone but me and the other than Jeb and
Phoebe were in I Want to Hope is a lead lined room.
You aren't experiencing radiation in the room that you
are in. Thank.
You it could be anything. Like 17?
Yes, that's enough. I was.
I quit. I quit.
Retro As you're trying to put the plate into position, you
fall out of the bubble and you're one of your hands touches
the ground. The harm of your hazmat suit
starts to melt away and it takes 6 and 1, so it takes 7 damage
total. You feel the suit start to
really degrade and you have to roll back into the bubble.
Can I double down? What do you mean?
Can I roll something to prevent the damage from happening and if
I fail I take double damage? Sure all.
Right. If I'm falling then I would like
to fire off my grapple hand towards a part of the ceiling
that I can that that it can reach to, to then pull me up to
true. Yeah, there's a big girder
across the main area. Huge piece of long metal.
Fire it. Go for it.
I will do that. Great.
Yes, nice. Are you using that to Tarzan
swing? Yes, I, I, I figured that once
that happens, I'm just going to end up trying the Tarzan swing
or Spider Man. Just swing over, let it you know
by through the air, and then launch it again to try to get
over. Great.
Yeah, Yeah. So.
You want to know you? You will need another grapple to
get across the other half. Yes.
All right. Thank.
God, wow. 26 yes, that's enough you make it to the other side
behind you Domino is dragging Iona and Bendel and and nine's
just floating along with them because 9 doesn't need really to
be in this to to be on the plate because they can fly clinics oh
that's. Not.
Good. Oh no.
No. And Domino falls forward onto
the ground. Their whole body touches the
ground. You hear a rather extreme
sizzle. That's bad.
I like Domino. Fuck.
OK, That's 14 damage to this armor.
Jesus Christ, that's a lot. And so you watch parts of it
start to go black as Domino tries to get back up and push
another plate in front of them to step on when they try once
again that. Was embarrassing.
I'm really glad Phoebe and Jeff didn't see that.
Domino drags Iona and Vendel across to the middle of this
area. Takes a little bit of time.
You're in the bubble so you don't experience any radiation
damage. There you go, 22, and you step
to the other side, clear of this lake of radiation.
Now you are parallel to a robot and everyone roll Perception.
Everyone. No, just the people outside, OK.
BM What is the damage that I take for being outside the
bubble? 3. 11 and 21 and 19.
Bendel is dusting themselves off a little bit, as is Domino, But
Iona, the thing you notice is a clicking noise and you hear,
there's this like noise. You hear the cocking of a gun,
perhaps of a sniper rifle. So does Retro.
Now, when you say that, is it like a Peter North type of
cocking or like guy who's making amateur kind of cocking?
It it sounds like a very good gun.
OK, so Peter North type. All right, got it.
Go, go. Now.
Now door. Door.
Go go gadget door you. Should know what?
All right, we know roll evasion. Over here, animal.
DV17 shit. So evasion.
Shit. That's right, I'm used to
getting shot. Yeah, but here's the thing
everybody, it's. A big it's a big bullet.
It is a big bullet. It is.
It is a crit injury. Oh no.
I think you've all forgotten who you're standing next to.
Yeah, of course. That's +4 Iona.
As the bullet goes off, you hear like a crackle in the air.
You feel this wind before and after it happens, but not in the
middle. And after you've finished
blinking, Domino is standing in front of you.
Didn't roll a crit list of you getting shot.
He does and you hear that the cracking of bone.
Oh that's not good. And the one of Domino's 2 flesh
arms cracks at the upper femur and he he grabs you and then
Dell with his other two arms and throws you to the east.
You get thrown towards the door, Domino chases after you.
Retro, you dodged enough you're coming through, 9 just hovers
and I'm assuming you're carrying the bucket with you, not leaving
it behind. No, not leaving the bucket.
But you come up towards a a closed but not locked door
because Jeb broke the lock earlier.
Yeah. Can I perceive which direct like
like try to attune where that bullet came from after noticing
Domino? East.
Northeast. All right, I would like to use a
piece of my scrap. True.
A broken piece of mirror, true. And I'm, I'm, I'm going to shine
a flashlight into it and try to wave it around that direction to
see if I can potentially apply to every spike in it.
Sure. I will give you a + 1 to getting
in this door for doing that. That's great.
Oh I had ventel roll brawling to kick the door in.
Great, it works. 22 is definitely enough and you all
pile into the tiny room. Oh my God.
Hey, everyone's here and you probably E Bucket.
Oh, thank God. Hey.
Is the. Casino, there is a sniper out
there. There's also there's a, a, a, a
robot in the corner and there's another robot on your way here.
So so I guess. Well.
I did hear a boat OK, you probably all know knew all that.
Sorry about sorry I've. Been shot.
Domino, OH. My God, yeah, you have what a
champ this guy. Am I right?

Hey. Took a leg champ.
So VV you want to like Doctor or what?
Yes, I I'm under the P pocket on the map now.
Oh no, God. I can't.
I can't move my token. It's an immovable object.
I will. I will set it to the back.
That's silly. Why is it up front?
That's dumb. Don't know what this looks bad.
You really got, you really got shot.
Yeah, I took one for the teeth. And he's starting to.
He's bleeding like he definitely has a broken bone.
It's not something you can't fix on the field, but it's bad.
OK, first we have to stop this bleeding.
Nice 29. Yeah, you do a great job.
While while stopping the bleeding you also reset the bone
at the same time. You grab some bone glue from
your box. You rolled a crate, so you
managed to circumvent the price. Nice.
That's a good reward for a crate, I think.
No cost. And you managed to heal Domino
for Please give me two D62-D6 Seven.
Yeah, sure. You stem the bleeding, you set
the bone. It's going to take a little bit
of time for the the glue to set, but do remember Domino has body
fuel blade. True.
You watch the wound start to heal up before your eyes.
It heals differently to Jeb, but sort of the same.
Do we recover the bullet? With a 29 yes.
Cool, can I have that? Yeah, sure.
Cool. Oh, 7.62 round nasty.
And there's now just a little bit of calm.
You've made it across that pool of radiation.
I'm just glad everybody's OK. Me too.
Retro, the tablet you picked up earlier starts to beep.
Your decryption of it has gone well and it's now ready to play
the first file. Little chibi Retro pops up all
right. Door I log treasure hunter,
testing, recording. I found a way into the old
Arasaka building I think. A lot of radiation and stuff
crawling around in the junk. I'm sure there's some prizes out
there. I'm going to keep investigating.
Door I log. I managed to sneak into the
lobby of the Arasaka building but it's full of trash and the
doors are locked. Sneaking past the turrets was
really hard but I found some really good gear.
I'm going to hold up in this N building for a little bit and
try and relax. Can't shape the feeling
something's following me. There are two other files, but
they're still encrypted. Does the voice sound familiar in
any way? Yeah, it's the chick you met in
the sewers. Dry, dry air.
Door. Eye, door, eye.
Door Eye. Door eye, which I have to say
and we all met Dorai and they went ahead of us.
Has anybody seen anything from Dorai since?
No, but we also haven't found a body.
True. Which also, I mean, that's what
I'm like, let's, I mean, we, we can, we can pop our collars a
bit. We're, we're, we're pretty,
pretty good at doing this. And they were trapped behind a
locked door when we found them. Does it not feel it all a bit
off that we have yet seen any sign of them since?
Are you saying that the snapper outside killed that Lady?
Or something else They didn't make it.
Oh, what if she fell in the pit? And.
If it was possible, she could just, she could just caustic
dictated away. Causticated away.
Or they're a white rabbit. Also possible, we just can't
know. And we're going down that rabbit
hole. Retro Are you leaning against
the door to keep it shut? I mean, I'm like by the door
kind of keeping it cracked so I can see what's out there, unless
something's taking a shot at me. You feel the door push, and then
you hear. 02 bits. I'll open the door.
In the door. Wow, Dorai, we were just talking
about. This.
I mean, there's a sniper out here.
No shit, get in here. Dorai jumps in and and pushes
the door shut. You're OK.
Yeah. There's a whole party in here
now. How did you get over here?
I'm a scavenger. I've got my ways, role
perception. 21 After you came inside, there wasn't a single
bullet shot outside. Is Dorai carrying?
Well? Dorai must be carrying a pack or
something, right? Yeah, there's a big like
backpack on their back. It's huge.
It's like carrying loads of stuffed from scavenging.
That seems actually pretty on par for this character.
Big enough that they could disassemble a sniper rifle and
fit it in there. Yes, absolutely.
Did you find anything interesting, Dora?
A bit of this, a little bit of that, Just trying to take refuge
from the sniper outside took a few shots at me.
Yeah, it's crazy. You know what?
Honestly, I think we deserve a break.
I'm going to have a smoke. Maybe you want to smoke.
I'm going to. I'm going to take your your
silences. Yes.
Yeah, that would be good actually.
I know, I know. You don't smoke Ayona and Jeb.
Honestly, I don't know if you. If you only out of a bat.
Only out of a pipe. Yeah, but like one of those,
like, you know, classic tobacco pipes, I'm not a big of a I'm
not, I'm not a big weed smoker. And I believe that's what you're
smoking right now. Is that right?
No, I'm smoking tobacco. Oh well, I do not.
Partake in the leaf. The leaf.
Is that what they call it? A trauma team now, I mean.
I. Can not now 9.
I can make a spliff, but I you know, that's that's you know,
your own mileage may vary. I'll I'll take out a cigarette.
You know, like I keep 2 Lucky's flipped.
Ioffer 1 to Dorai. Yeah, but you, you, you got
everyone's attention, didn't you, Retro?
Yeah. Became the central attention.
Everyone's looking at you. Do you look back at it, Dorai?
Well, yeah, I offer one to Dorai.
You look back at Dorai and she's smiling at you.
I can't take a smile as a as a as an OK, do you want one or
not? Her expression slowly starts to
fall. Her jaw opens far too large, her
eyes flash various colours landing on red, and out of her
mouth comes a grenade. The pen fires out towards Jeb.
Whoa. Other piece of the pinch flips
off into the air and you hear her start to laugh.
Oh God damn it, the fuck's her problem?
OK, there's a grenade about to go off in this room.
What do you do? Oh, I flip the couch over it.
Pop up shield. Take cover.
Oh, I have a shield. I have a right shield.
And you watch the holographic facade of DRY melt away.
They are replaced by anybody. Has it a guess?
What? A mimic.
Oh yeah, no, that that was clear.
Yeah. The timer keeps counting down.
They're standing by the doorway. You had a few suggestions.
What are you going to do? Vendel and I are on the opposite
side of the sides of the couch, so we're going to flip the couch
on on to the grenade to at least provide a little bit of cover.
Great. Deploy shield to protect myself
with Domino. Fantastic.
You deploy your personal shield and hide behind it with Domino,
which is very nice of you. Jeb is going to just jetpack
right out of there. Right.
Do you do anything to the mimic as you jetpack out?
Yeah, flip them off. Roll a drive air vehicle what?
Do. I I flip them off with both
hands. Yes, you do.
Endurance. Yeah, that's great.
That works. Like that, but that works.
No, that works. That's a great role.
In fact, I don't think we've had endurance very many times on the
show. So thanks, Bebe.
That's very good. Yes, You rolled A-15.
You drag Domino behind your personal shield.
Domino, in the movement of this, insists on standing in front of
you, even though you're both behind this thing.
He covers you with his large chest and body.
Oh my God. Vendell doesn't get a hand on
the sofa, unfortunately. You, however, Iona do have a
hand on the sofa and you're on the other side near VV and
Domino nines floating before you retro.
Did you do anything? No, no, you.
Didn't. Yeah, I was gonna.
I was just waiting for everyone else to.
Right, no. I was wondering if you'd rolled
yet is what I was getting. No, but you have not.
You watched Vendell fail badly, and in doing so they get a
little plastic splinter in their hand taking our fuck for damage.
That sucks. What?
This grip seems unreasonable, GM.
It's a crip fail, you got to take some damage.
Been cut by cardboard, that shit is bad.
Oh yeah, it. Really hurts.
This hurt too though. Also, there's a grenade that's
about to go off. We should deal with that.
Oh, I punted out the door. As soon as Jeb opens the door to
fly out, I literally kicked the grenade out the door.
Great, so you're kicking the mimic and the grenade out the
door? Yeah, no, I throw him out.
Cool, roll for it. Dirty 1.
You kick the mimic out, you roll a crit success 31 so Jeb is able
to avoid it. The only thing that Jeb does
experience is a little bit of radiation damage outside, for
there ain't. Nothing.
One damage to his hazmat suit and then the mimic and the
grenade explode outside. Because of your crit success,
I'm going to say you also caused damage to the robot.
Let's roll for the grenade, which is 5D6.
Holy. Balls.
Glad that didn't go off in this. Tiny little room.
Who rolled 5D6? Oh, you did?
Yeah, fine. 16 damage. I'm sorry.
I thought you said you wanted to roll for the grenade.
No, no, you're good. The robot takes a lot of damage
on the ground. That is not correct, but it's
still up. The Mimic, however, is
completely and utterly destroyed.
Oh man, so that was pretty crazy, huh?
Got to look out for those things everywhere you go apparently.
You have 1 1/2 minutes left of time on your tank.
Well, I don't think that we can trust anything that we find down
here then. If there are.
No. Maybe we should just check if
people are human, because if they're human.
Something tells me she is actually gone.
Gone. Yeah, the people outside didn't
feel like mimics, so. Maybe we do the Mac ready test.
The what the. Mac ready test or Mac ready
sorry. And what would that?
Or a spy check them? Is that a reference that anyone
gets these days? We could try and touch them
because it's just a hologram in it.
Yeah, I was going to say yeah, the the prick, the finger got
blood either way. I think he's doing AI, think
he's doing a a Blade Runner thing.
Oh. Thing thing.
Oh oh. But good reference, Jeb.
That's a good movie. Hey thanks, no one got my team
fortress 2 reference so I had to pivot.
Yeah. Somebody did.
I'd love to comment. Comment on this episode if you
got the Team Fortress 2. But the chaos have subsided.
Now, everybody, you're here in this tiny building, retro.
You check the map for the area again.
And everyone, you look around and in this tiny, tiny room,
there's a sofa that Iona tried to move but ended up not doing
so. There's a vending machine to the
north, a few lockers, dead plant some filing cabinets.
And so looking over the map here and it seems as if we are in the
vestibule right before the old Arisaka lobby from what the maps
says. There's a door behind me.
What about that area to the to the north?
Well, yeah. Was there anything up there I.
Haven't checked yet. Well, there's a sniper
somewhere. No, I think that was probably
door eye. Yeah.
Oh. Shoot, it's locked.
I. Mean, at least from what the map
states. Doesn't seem like there's any
other rooms or entrances, neither north-south.
Well, that's not what the audio message said.
I'll be honest, I'm a little jumbled after having to kick
kicked your eye out and then explode.
I have to let me let me replay that message again.
Door eye log I managed to sneak into the lobby of the Arasaka
building, but it's full of trash and the doors are locked.
Sneaking past the tarts was really hard, but I found some
really good gear. I'm going to hold up in this N
building for a little bit and try and relax.
Can't shake the feeling that something's following.
Me. We we heard that one already,
didn't we? Yeah.
We're just refreshing our memory.
There are turds in our future. Oh yeah.
That was my take away. And that there's a N building.
And there is a N building. Yes, Linda, can you unlock this
door for me? I can try wait.
Is the north building from where we're at or inside when we
actually get to the lobby from? Where you're at?
Will the 16 do it? No door.
Lock they did. Door, Door Lock door.
Lock door lock key card required.
Shoot. Hacking it requires a higher
skill than that. 16 is too low. Shoot.
I mean I am intrigued if there is another place north of here
maybe could find some gear especially from what door I have
said. Can I borrow the P bucket?
Are you leaving with it? Because we should all go with
you if you are leaving with it. Oh yeah.
Well then party did not go well. I mean.
It could have been worse. It could.
We're all over here and we had to get over here somehow.
I think we took a lot more damage than we needed to.
Yes, I. Mean we're in a room right now,
which I think technically is already radiation proof, so we
don't don't need the P bucket in here right now.
No, but if you're going somewhere with it, we'll go with
it. Yeah.
I would like to go to the North because I want to see what this
little hidden treasure trove is. It could could have something
helpful for us later I feel. Well, we can venture onward.
Yeah, let's. Pick up this B bucket.
Let's go. Next time on no latency.
Well, all right, campers, let's keep on going.
Around the left here. All right, let's keep moving.
Of course it's locked. Brute force, baby.
Jeb, get out of the way. Jeez, I'm sorry you guys.
You. Knocked that off.
You might want to hold them back, Vandel.
I'm sorry you guys. At least it was fast.
I'm sorry, you guys. I, I said, I said I'm sorry.
Did you see a reflection of yourself?
You. Were looking at a window,
weren't you? I'm sure there's probably going
to be a point when someone's going to try to mimic each
other, right? I'm sorry, you want me to say?
Absolutely not. I I bet if we tip this over we
could roll out a bunch of those grenades.
This should be useful retro. It's a security card level 1
access. Oh sweet, is it color-coded?
I think this is just a room. Somebody gets kidnapped and gets
switched out. You never know.
Fair. Sort of hatch.
Dripping with radiation? What?
What's going on inside the? What's over this way?
Let's go to the to the east. Yeah, no, Yep.
Go ahead, squeeze past me. Oh, I don't.
Know there's. No jab.
What is her name again? Dorai.
Keep on to say dry air Dorai.
And we'll find out how all of that goes, won't we?
Next time. Next time.
