Last time on no latency. I am feeling a little hungover
AM. I the.
Tube. He woke up finally.
Has anyone else ever woken up in a tube?
You ever heard about this oil rig?
Guard deployments, maybe some schematics, Floor plan if they
got it, we're. Going to do what to their core?
So how do we get a hold of 1 liner then?
What did happen to that one liner jumped out the window on a
Hellcat? They got a speeding ticket near
my favorite bubble cafe. How do you access the core?
Relax Vans. All vans are useful.
Flair is in a coma. How did that happen?
What? What do you mean?
We're on our way, Satya. If they destroy the bubble cafe,
my feel and error will begin all.
Right, baby, you can have shotgun.
That's cool. Shoot all hostiles.
All right. I like that plan.
Jeb Floret. Aye, aye.
I'm not letting anybody take this bubble cafe.
All right, Jeb. Oh, I've got the I've got a
perfect idea. I'm going to do it like a like a
tail whip, Like a drifting tail whip.
Yes, do it. Here we go.
Great. That's that's a.
That's a crit fail. What?
Oh, no. Oh.
Oh no, no. That's a crit.
Fail -9 my dude. And so, as you careen towards
this white van in the street, you overshoe, go through another
intersection, and the only reason that you don't get T band
is because it didn't go below 0. You drive across the
intersection, spin around, and you watch the vehicle disappear
around the corner, around the back of the Bubble Cafe.
You all flip around and drive back into the area.
Outside. You missed the van.
Well, that was anticlimactic. Why don't we just maybe just
park? And why don't we just park and
do? We should do it quickly.
All right, I do. I do like a really slow, like
like parallel park. If you don't have to beep, it's
backing up. Stop the vehicle.
What are you doing? Hold on, hold on, hold on.
I just. I just this is taking too long.
VV opens the door and rolls out. VV don't move out of it.
Moving. People.
Oh, it's slow. VV Rolling Plastics.
Oh my God, what's with the dice tonight?
VV As you jump out of the vehicle, you misstep, trip over
and smack your head on the ground.
You've got a little bruise on your forehead.
Ow. HP oh.
Shit, it's fine. That look cool?
No, not at all. Not in the slightest, no.
All right, if you just starts getting yourself back up
ungraciously, let's go. I'll jump out of the van too.
Same I gingerly step out one foot at a time Can.
We just park on the street, no? No, no.
I did a parallel park. Nasty, nasty dental over on the
side there. Took a little bit longer than
y'all wanted it to, but I think it looked nice.
My me mod did better than you. It's not always about Satya
needs our help. We should probably get in the
Bubble Cafe. Right, right, right.
And we do. Do you hear that?
Behind the door, as you walk up to it, you can hear shouting,
muffled by the door and glass. Oh, OK.
I hear it now. Are you all right?
I'm going to, I'm going to smack you on the back of the head,
back of the monitor. And just like, what is it?
Like reels from a a slot machine happen.
Like, oh oh man, yeah, sorry my my head got all spun around from
when Jeb tried to whip around. Well, Jeb's not very good at
whipping. I did whip.
I just missed. I got whiplash on that.
Anyways, do we just go inside? Is this a breach and?
Clear situation. Let's just go in.
Breach and Clear don't hurt any of the the workers, the
employees or the patrons. I'm supposed to tell them apart.
Yeah, yeah, you you point them out.
You point them out. Yes.
Oh, you know who works here? Your your old pal, the Stoner
guy. Jimmy.
Reeves. Reeves oh.
Oh yeah, Reeves. Yes, so another.
Job Reeves. God, Jack of all trades.
Yeah, Master of None. He was the I I think he's the
only one I saw. There was another.
An an Alice, Yes. And Alice runs the place.
And so we should probably make sure that they're safe and shoot
anybody else. Anybody.
Else. So then we could shoot everybody
else except for those two. But what about the people?
But not so too. And so too, patrons.
Yeah, which ones do we know? How do we know if they're
patrons or not? I don't know.
If they got bubble tea. Their site All right, I I can
agree with that. If they aren't ordered by now,
then that's on them like God sort them out.
Yeah, I mean, it's a it's a awesome situation.
I feel like if there was a mine, I don't know.
All right, let's do this in. Bridge and Claire.
Bridge and Claire.
You burst through the door, and inside the doorway is Walker,
standing in the front foyer of the Bubble Cafe, pointing his
gun. At Anna Alice, who's standing
behind the counter to the left of you, is the customer seating
area, and there are a bunch of customers scooching to the very
back of the building, guarded by three guards.
Oh, you know, probably a better way to figure out are.
They. I know you know that.
I don't. I don't know.
There's a doctor and a a a guy with a cowboy hat and a corpo
and a guy with ATV head. And.
They all suck and I they've beat me a few times, but don't tell
them that, just tell me where they are.
I don't. I don't know who the fuck you're
talking about. Do you have any fucking
customers? I guess.
This guy again, What is his name?
Punchline. One liner I don't even.
Remember. Yeah 'cause that's how they
were. Funny.
And he just never lands it. Fuck.
They're behind me, aren't they? You.
How dare you use the Bubble Cafe as a place to hold hostages, to
try to find us? Let them go, yeah.
You're kind of foot now, bud, Johnny.
You you actually pissed off the one calm person in.
The group then. Come on.
What do you mean, they're just a nurse?
Just a nurse. All right, buddy.
Yeah, go ahead, you Mohwack. Have you ever seen, like, you
know, like I'm an Angel? You don't want to see the devil
side of me, dude, you just kind of press that button.
Like you really are pressing the wrong ones here.
Go ahead. Oh, anyone can be a nurse.
Do you need a cold compressed? Oh VV, go ahead.
My God, do I have any utility things in my bat?
Actually, yeah, I basically I just want to disarm him.
So yes, I will use my bat. As I press a button on it, it
and there's a little slot that opens with a defibrillator that
comes out. And do you even know how to use
one of these? Anybody could be a nurse.
Well, watch this and I just throw it.
So you're throwing. A.
Electrified bat at this guy. You're not just going.
You're not. You're not hearing him.
You're throwing your back at. Yes, the goal is to.
If it's well, I don't want to. If I called shot at, I'm going
to get a penalty, but I I want to hit his arm so that he can
not have a gun aimed at. The proprietor of this
establishment. So that's my goal.
What? Luck do you have?
I have six luck, so let's dump all six points so it cancels out
the called shot. And I'm gonna throw this at him,
at his arm with the gun. Do it.
Yeah. Let's see what I roll here to to
to throw. Just roll the bat.
Oh yeah. It's a form of attack.
You're smart. 15 + 6 so 21. Technically minus, so it
technically cancels out because I'm doing a called shot to.
You being nice and telling the GM stuff.
Yes. So the call shots -6 the luck is
+6. This is technically a surprise
attack. So he gets -2, Evasion 16.
But -2? That means the baseball bat
smacks him on the arm and it sticks.
Almost magnetizing to his forcep, and it starts to
electrify his whole arm as the arm starts to jitter.
His arm goes into his arm, points upwards and pulls the
trigger three times as the gun fires under his trigger finger.
Now, in this moment, that's a. So wrong initiative.
No. Oh.
How many attacks do you get with a melee attack?
2 But the bat's gone. Look at.
Look at how far you are. It's not far.
Punch him. Punch him.
Grab the bat again?
No. In his jittering as you try and
grab the bat to get it back, you miss as he jitters and shifts
backwards to accidentally avoid you as he continues to be
electrocuted. This gives him.
A -, 5 to this roll for initiative.
Jeez, Louise Vendo. It's like almost legendary.
I I put some energy drink powder in mine.
In your what? My, my smoothies we had earlier.
Oh, oh, it feels like that was ages ago.
No, no. That car ride was was a while,
especially with all those twists and turns.
Well, and then Jeb's parking job took an eternity.
Should we? Get him back at the chamber as
long as it beeps so he doesn't have to beep.
He'll probably do it anyway. I'd like to hear it though.
You'll be kind of nice. But enough about that.
Let's fuck them up. Vendel's just going to go
straight to slice this first guard as you come into the
Bubble Cafe. Hey you random guard, fuck you.
What? What?
And Vendale flips their sword out and slices into this guy,
completely unawares. They roll a 22 crit plus 9 crit.
That's very high. I did.
I did a really good crit. Fuck you, random guard.
And I get to hit twice, get stuffed.
I get a bit arrogant in their fighting sub and as they swipe a
second time the guy bends over. To grab the wound in his stomach
and accidentally completely dodges the sword swipe.
Oh fuck Thisler, right? Bendel.
He's he's very maimed. Yeah, but that second hit had
more damage. Fuck, it did have a lot more
damage. But we don't.
We didn't. We don't know that it didn't
hit. Does Vendel stay there in front
of the guard? Yes.
The guard that was just hit by Vendel turns around as it is
their turn and attempts to push them away.
Like pushing them? Sure.
Vendel. No.
Tries to look cool as they dodge and gets pushed over.
You do. You think you know Iona?
You push me. I roll a crip.
Fail. Vendel.
Vendel.
I don't think that energy drink was good for you.
You. Think it's giving me weird
feelings? Yeah, your head might be a
little buzzy. It's OK.
Crawl. Crawl back to me if you care.
OK. And while on the floor, this
guard pulls out of his pistol and tries to shoot Vendel.
Vendel gets hit for seven damage of lading their armor by lunch.
Oh fuck you. I was on the ground.
That's unfair. No, fuck you, you slice me in
the stomach. Ow, that is unfair UN
unsportsmanlike. Fly with the play.
Arthur, keep an eye on those, on those, on those hostages.
I'm a God. No.
I know there's just fighting going on where you just pay
attention. OK, Pauline, man, it's bad first
day. One of the guards in the back of
the room steps forward, pulls out their heavy pistol and tries
to shoot. Retro, of course hitting retro
for 9 damage of leading their their shield by 9 as it fizzles
around you retro. You can smell the perfume of the
Bubble Cafe pierced through this.
Static electric shield around you it.
Does sound delicious. You think because of course, you
have no sense of smell. That could be an upgrade, right?
That's I saw you about that. He's here, all right.
Well, since you were on sportsmanlike, I think you're
the one that I have to shoot. What new guy?
No new guys over there with the hostages.
I'm just oh fuck, you shot at me.
It missed. But fucking hell, I was
explaining who are the one? Oh, I don't care.
Yes, that does hit. Ow.
Fuck, that's actually a lot of damage, boss.
These guys have good weapons and they feel like very experienced
Night City people. Yes, that.
Fuck. The energy in this fight is
weird. I would have to agree with you,
Chad. And you know, I just thought of
something instead of we had the rule of trying to figure out who
were the baddies and who were the good guys.
And we said anyone that's got bubble tea, don't shoot them.
But I got AI think I got a better idea.
And whoever has a gun, shoot them.
Sore tooth pops up from under a table, yes.
I I also have a gun. I'm here.
Thank you for coming to save me. Oh, banana, don't shoot him.
Hi, Jeb. Any anyone else who's innocent,
have a gun. Everybody.
Raises their hand. Is talking not a free action?
Opening the door is an accent. Is that who is I?
I can't understand your accent are.
You are you. Are you supposed to be Reeves?
Oh fuck you oh. Fuck you.
Retro. I don't feel like engaging with
witty banner with one liner today, so Retro is going to run
for this table here and try to slide across it to get to the
corner, at the same time firing off their shotgun at this guard
right here. That's awesome.
You run Jump Royal Athletics. I mean, it's sliding across the
table. That seems like a basic anybody
can do. I don't know that Jade could do
that. Retro says this.
Anybody could do this, rolls a 17 and does a very slick job of
this table slide spinning on their bum in kind of a cute way
as they go over the table. They.
Yeah, it's almost. Like they're gonna it's.
Almost like a spinner Rooney. So while I go sliding on the
table on my shoulder, I lift up on it and so now it looks like
I'm actually doing. A pinwheel break dancing, move
at the same time and in between my legs as I spin over.
I fire my shotgun at the guy while landing over on the
opposite side of the table. Do it 18.
Your K tech tech hammer shotgun goes off and it hits this guy in
the back for 19 damage. It has armor piercing as well,
taking his armor down by two and taking out a serious amount of
his health. Oh fuck.
Oh. Arthur, he's got one of those
really good guns, you know, the ones you can find in like, Black
Chrome and shit. Oh yeesh.
Fuck. Arthur is in the corner, Arthur
standing there next to my hostages.
Two of his friends have just been shot and it's my first day
and he's he's he's not roll high enough.
To keep his cool in this situation and he just panicked.
I don't know guys. I don't this is too much.
I just. I just didn't want to work for
some of the coffee anymore. I'm good.
I'm. I'm sorry.
Puts the gun down. Can I go?
I mean, I'm cool. Was it you guys?
I didn't. Shoot anyone?
I'm zero on there, OK? I'm.
I'm going to walk. Out.
If you walk out, it will shoot you.
It's not your turn. I can fucking get away with
this. Get fucked and he believes.
Anyone else? Anyone else want to go?
You shot me, not you. But he did.
You're his friends. I'm going to fuck you up.
Plus, you know we've got a friend in the back protecting
the van. Why did you say that?
Because oh fuck. I mean how how many, how many of
you other hench men want to want to skedaddle?
Anyone. Else, we both talk, there's only
two. There's only two.
Oh, I thought there was another guy.
Right here. No, there's hostages over there
with the, with the. That's a hostage.
Right there, over there, Right over there.
Who's this guy there but? That that's the guard that that
your ninja friend sliced in the chest and then they shot me.
Well, yeah. Do you want to go?
You you can go. It's my turn, Jeb.
That you make right. Yeah.
Nailed it. Got it in one take.
This, and he pulls an arrow out of his arm.
The flesh solidifies around the hole that he created by pulling
this thing out of him. He lays it into a crossbow,
which he pulls out his leg, and he shoots you from across the
room. Did you dig that crossbow out of
your life? You say as it completely misses
you. Whoa.
Fuck. I mean, listen, dudes.
You know, unite. I'll give you that it.
Just hurts because I've done this before in front of you and
seem to have not let the lasting impact.
He pulls now around of his own laser into that bow.
Did you find? That oh the the arrow, Rosa Crip
minus the arrow, bounces off the front of the bow, lands in the
air, and then just goes into his shoulder.
Ow. Fuck.
I used to be. An AI until I took an arrow to
the shoulder. Did we have we crossed paths
before? It's not really ringing a bell.
Cowboy, many times you and I ruined a rug.
Oh. No, whoa, Jeb doing.
I mean, I I've, I've ruined a few rugs.
I don't remember ruining it with this guy.
Wow that. Fame is going to your head, Jeb.
Damn. I mean, I guess I I, you know,
I've only I I don't seem to have the best memory, but I I really
would have thought that I would remember you.
Well, you got a whole like. Yeah, get up.
This whole situation is a real big rug pull all.
Right, I've had enough. No more lines from you and.
VV is going to pull out her Senate Sandru Hello Cutie, Ultra
K Assault Pistol and. I.
Think you read it out every? Time.
Every time. It's just such a long name.
And she's going to fire at him, Otto.
Oh. That's double damage.
You rolled 18. The requirement was 17-7.
Yeah, that's double damage. Damn, she rolled the you.
Click the little button on the side of your gun.
It giggles just a little bit as it goes into auto fire mode, and
you hail some bullets at Walker rolling an 18.
That gives you double damage, so you're nine turns into an 18 as
well. You do 18 damage to the Walker.
She's seeing some damage once again.
You suspect that this is a new body that he's in and seems
pretty fresh, but you have fucked up a good.
Portion of his outer skin and armor with that hip and he takes
a step back. Fuck, why are you guys so good?
Why are you looking for us? Because you're trying to stop
the the AI thing. That's and.
You you thought that this would be a good place to find us?
How? Why?
Well. We can't find you.
Anymore, so you came here. Yes, because we knew that.
You Dang hung out here. Is that the right?
Tendency you humans use. I mean, to be fair, Doc, you did
come real quick as soon as I found out.
He's got to blame his plan. I fell for the bait, yeah.
Whatever. Do you just stand there or do
you move? I move closer to him.
Cool. Getting getting pretty close,
right? It looks like the the hostages
that are us over here, It looks like we don't have a guard
guarding us. You know what that means?
It means I'm going to use a gun. Sawtooth stands up from the
table, points it at the guard in the hallway that retrofit, and
lets out a huge hail of bullets from his assault rifle, rolling
a + 4 crit. The bullets hail into the back
of this guy and he falls forward.
Oh yes, that's right. And it's my professional opinion
by now that you need. Medical assistance because he
has to roll on the critical injury table.
Oh, hey, I'm sorry, Tooth. Oh, did you just, you just
happened to be getting the bubble tea when this whole thing
went down? Or were you starting late?
Yes, we had a phone call earlier and then this place got attacked
by these Dick heads. No, I'm just wondering if you
were part of the plan to set the bait for us or if you just
happened to be in the wrong place, the wrong time, wrong
place, wrong time, VD said. I should check the place out,
and I did. By the way, the beverages are
excellent. Wrong place, wrong time, wrong
customer to fuck with. One of the metal.
Souvenir bubble teacups flies off one of the tables as it gets
clipped by one of the bullets and lodges itself into the wound
of this guy. What?
An. Incredibly specific injury.
He's now got this like Tumblr sticking out of him.
It's like a 30 ounce Tumblr has been bored into his back.
That's a rate of fire of 1. I'm going to hide under this
table. You go tunes.
All right, well, listen, you know, I appreciate your your
unique bit that you had going on with your crossbow and all that,
but, you know, sometimes it's better to just stick with the
classics, you know? And that's why I got a Grand
Pappy's Colt 45. It's always, it's always shoots
straight and when I want to it shoots people. 28 Your first
bullet rips through the air, hitting him for just five
damage. And his armour flies off and
splats against the wall, turning into black goo as it sinks down
to the floor. The next bullet hits him again.
More of his armour and skin flies off to the back wall,
turning black and sticking to the floor.
Fuck. That's what you're going to say?
I'm like, what else is there to say?
I got you. That's better than what I said.
Fuck your favorite multiverse hopping game.
System jumping, high production value Actual Play Podcast is
back. System Switch Season 2 drops in
your universe on November 16th. Bowler and Hicks have been
transported into the science fiction world of scum and
melody. Follow our heroes as they try to
break out of prison. This is clearly a cell.
I've seen a cell before. In any universe, this is a cell
fly through asteroid belts. Break into high security
government buildings. Hey, give.
Me a mark there. Excuse me, I'm from the library
police and punch fascists. That's always very cool.
Catch up on season one of System Switch now or jump in for your
first time when Season 2 premieres on November 16th.
Wherever you get your podcasts, the multiverse is a strange
place, OK? I've had a fucking knife.
Door bursts open, Reeves bursts through.
Reeves has entered the initiative.
Reeves jumps into the room holding 2 pistols.
OK, my guy going to be real. I'm kind of sick and tired of
people fucking with the Bubble cafe.
Oh hey baby, What's up anyway? Fuck you.
Oh, go Reeves. Damn.
Oh God damn. His first shot hits Walker from
the side without really Walker realizing he's there, taking 14
damage. It makes Walker stagger towards
the wall as he turns to face Reeves.
He gets hit again in the hip and falls to his knees going
underneath half health. He takes his hands to his waist
and his skin on his leg and his hand mold together.
He's now one off. Oh.
Fuck, don't touch yourself while you're healing.
Is that from roof shot first exploding?
Yes. Holy crap.
So in the process of healing, he has healed his left hand to his
hip. He's now on his knees.
Fuck. Don't touch the word.
While he's healing seven, fuck like rules of what Never.
Mind. All right.
No, no, that's cool. And Reeves slides behind the
counter of the bubble camera, right next to an Alice who is
now hiding underneath the desk. It's my turn.
Fuck you, everyone in general. Not you, sore tooth.
Oh you Reeves. It's nice to see you.
It is me again. You're the one who rolls for me.
So I I have to like, wait, what do?
What do I do? Iona.
Get up. Get up.
Oh yeah, right. And hit him again.
OK. 17 Hitting for 11 damage, Bendel strikes this guy to the
side and he slides across the ground.
Bendel jumps off the side of the counter, jumps down and slices
him through, cutting him right across the chest.
And he falls to the ground dead. Damn.
Fuck you. That's right, Bendel.
Yeah, fuck that guy. Yeah, fuck that guy.
He's dead now. In particular.
Yeah, that guy in particular, the one I'm pointing at on the
ground. Yeah, that one.
He's the one. Yeah.
Don't eat this one. I want him to.
Oh, I mean kidding. No, we're listening full of
people we don't know. I'm kidding everyone.
I'm kidding. Strike one.
The other guard is sort of surrounded, and he points his
gun at Retro. The closest target turns on his
auto fire and pulls the trick, rolling a 13 as a crit -8.
All of the bullets miss, rip around you, and even miss.
The light fixture behind you, causing almost no damage to the
room, Whatever. It's actually kind of
embarrassing, yeah. Fuck.
I was hiding behind that table. It just Peppers up the table and
says. Fuck.
Fuck.
It's like a perfect V You completely missed wherever I was
at. Shut up.
I'm a professional God, So. But not a professional shot.
Fuck you. That's me.
Fuck this. Guy in particular.
Well, me. Guess you. 24 Hitting this guy
square on for 11 damage. He falls to the ground.
The Tumblr goes through his abdomen and sticks out the other
side. He's now impaled on a 30 ounce
bubble tea container. It has bored out a huge portion
of his intestines and back muscle like a cookie cutter.
That falls out of him like sausage.
Oh, that's fucked. He has very little health left,
but he is also fairly incapacitable.
I'd say more than that. Yeah, it looks like he was
shaking. That stirred.
Oh, what? You know that pretty good one
liner. Hey Walker, you want to?
Don't even have. Don't even stop.
Me. Are we just killing them or all
of them? Well, if we let any of them get
away, they'll get the AI core out of here.
So we sort of have to fuck them all up.
Oh yeah, you're right. Iona, you take five or six very
leisurely paces forward to get a better shot and pull the
trigger. I did.
It's another 24. It hits him square as he begs
for his life. No, no, no, no.
Oh boy. And he dies on the ground.
Sorry, is there anyone else that's not a hostage?
No, I think that was it. Other than Walker, of course.
He's still yes. He's.
Yes. Still here for now.
That's right. Fuck.
You all of us versus you, Walker.
You really want to play this game.
Well, you let me leave. Well, no, you probably not.
So, but we could talk about maybe letting you leave.
If you can give us some information, you know your life
ain't worthless. Yes, but the difference between
you and me is that your it's. Duplicatable.
OK, right. So if we kill you anyway, it's
still not going to make a difference.
Does that your time? Well, I if you.
I mean, I suppose in theory if you killed my AI cord before it
left this building, I would have no memory of this fight
whatsoever. It's not like, you know,
connected to the Internet or something.
There's there's no cloud based storage for.
Yeah. No, no, We couldn't get our
satellites up into the ground. Someone fucked with them.
Why am I telling you so much? It's it's an ability I have
people feel comfortable. Around you.
I mean, this very much is a buy or die situation, but so?
I can't let you live. OK, yeah, you know what I mean.
Like this feels more personal to VB and I really don't want to
have to take this away from them, so I'm going to post up in
between these two. Hostages.
And I'm just going to train my shotgun.
Yeah. Yeah.
Oh, yeah. Oh, sorry.
No, I didn't mean to. I know, it's absolutely fine.
Everyone, The TV guy is one of my friends.
What is that you're drinking right there?
Me. No, the one that's screaming me.
Yeah, lavender. Bubble tea?
Oh, that sounds delicious. I'm going to.
I'm just going to reach my TV head.
Hey, that's fine. It's.
Got double caffeine in it. Now I'm really on the edge
because I'm about to break and I keep my I keep my gun trained
there, ready for somebody to come to the door that's ready
for the pain. And it's Walker's turn.
Dun Dun Dun. He flexes his remaining hand and
it swells because he's got big knucks.
He takes a swing at VV. Be a nine.
Ha, ha, ha. Yeah. 12 Yes, he swings at you,
but only having one arm kind of falls over slightly and smashes
his hand into the ground, cracking the really nice floor
that's in here and causing a little bit of property damage.
Paint chips fly from the ground and scatter across your boots as
dust settles in the room. You're going to pay for that,
Yo, dude. Not cool.
How much damage has been done in this place?
Well, like the blood stain's going to be a real bummer.
We can get an estimator in here real quick.
You know, I don't think I got a guy I would be down to clean.
I am into that. Who?
Who just volunteered to clean me saw tooth.
Hi, baby. Use.
A fiend for cleaning. I do love the cleaning.
I'm down. I will help.
You know what? I, Reeves and Alice, come here.
This is this is for all of us. For the Bubble Cafe.
You guys can finish him and then we'll all help clean up.
You've backed the Moody little bit.
I I hand. Well, Reeves has a shotgun or
something, right? He's got 2 heavy pistols.
OK, Reeves, you can finish him off.
Really. Yes, my tune.
That is so kind. Jeb, do you mind?
Not at all. Go for it, my guy.
I appreciate that. Because you are ahead of me in
initiative. Oh, it's not a problem.
Yo, weird robot goo guy. You suck massive donkey balls so
much that they're extinct. Get fucked.
He shoots him twice, and this mass of robotic flesh and sinew
that stuck to himself just rips into pieces as part of his skull
smashes on the ground. And his semi positronic bio
brain that he's got spills across the the ground, turning
into Black Goose itself as his body staggers to the left.
He leans on the back door and bursts through.
There on the other side. Standing in the doorway as
Walker falls to the ground and dies is a guard.
Did you want to get out of here? It's over.
Cool. Have you?
Have you seen my brother? Yeah.
He ran off. He was he was like, I'm out of
here. Yeah.
He's the one. He was like, I I this ain't
worth my life. And then he left.
So if you want to go ahead and get out of here, I've.
Like, sorry. He steps over Walker's body.
I'm really sorry the vehicle's over there.
Don't worry about the beeping. I don't really know what that's
about. All right.
Have a great day. Sorry.
Excuse me, sorry, big fan of your work jam.
Really. Wait, is he going to the front
door? He's going through the front
door, yeah. I take a shot.
Just big, big fan of your watch out.
You're really, really great. Yeah, no problem.
Hey, it's always nice to meet a fan.
Oh God. You miss rolling a -, 3 kick
crit. Your bullet flies over his head.
Whoa, no, no, no, no. No, no, no.
I'm, I'm, I'm Arthur's brother. I give.
Up, aren't you? Aren't you?
Aren't you a bad guy? We're supposed to shoot the bad
guys, right? I haven't shiny one yet.
I'm 0 kill right now. You sure the bad guys, right?
The, the, the, the nice, the the doctor, The doctor person.
The doctor lady. Can I call you Doctor, Lady?
Yes, you're loud. Could somebody please.
Tell me that I could leave. Is that true?
I can't hear anybody. I'm all the way over here, far
away from everybody else. I don't know what's going on.
I suppose let him leave. OK, sorry.
BB said let him leave. OK, here's here's my money.
Here's here's 4. 100 Eddies? Yes, we could use that to repair
the cafe. Cool.
Here's my money. I'm sorry.
The cars unlocked. All right, get out before we
shoot again. I grabbed the Eddies.
And combat he's. Over Reeves, that was quite
vulgar, the things you've said to one liner.
Oh shit. Reeves is here.
Dude. What's up heavy hair TV team?
What's going? On.
I don't know. I just had the lavender T over
there. That was amazing.
Oh, you like it? Yeah, it was really good.
I'm like kind of pumped on it right now.
I grew the lavender bacteria myself.
Oh, cool. Yeah.
Holy shit, this is a mess.
Yeah. Well, it's all this black stuff
on the ground. Oh, it's a robot dude guy.
Yeah, there's some. There's some Chrome in there and
it's all black. Can I go and inspect it?
It's starting to dissipate. Yeah, can I inspect it real
quick? Yes, but as you come near it, it
is starting to just turn into vapor.
As you're checking out the flesh on the ground, you manage to
identify as the biotechnic of flesh that you've seen before.
And as you look over to Walker, he sort of twitches and clicks
and his whole body goes green. As this stuff protrudes from
every pore in his body and he dissolves an acid, there he was
back your porch. Of the Bubble Cafe.
Slowly turning into nothing but vapour.
Oh goodness, she's gone. Is there going to be more
repairs? Guys, the vans beeping.
That bastard. The van that we should probably
look at that. He's stealing our van.
No, it's the other. Not fan of white?
I will. Run now retro.
You come outside and fan away. It's fine.
No, no. Retro the van back here.
The the Walker's van. It's beeping.
Beeping it's. Jacking their ride?
No, I I don't know why you're assuming someone's jacking their
ride when we're supposed to be hacking their ride, but at this
moment in time, it sounds like it's beeping, which leads me to
believe it's a bomb. Explosive.
Well, that's just, you know. As as cliche.
As fuck. As Iona says, Bomb Vendel opens
the back of the truck and in the back there's just a big machine
and it's beeping and there's a screen on it.
Vendel What does it say? It says deletion in progress is
that bad? Yeah, it's probably fine.
Rummy, it's time to do a hack. God damn it, it's time to do a
hack. It's time to do a hack.
Run to do the hack. Do we need, do we need fresh pee
or? We might.
Can you not handle this for me? No, he's got it.
Yeah, Retro, you've got it. I'm going to cheerlead for you.
Yeah. Look, this is a trash bag.
It's like a pom pom. Yeah.
Oh, it. Smells.
All that's really close come from here.
What I know Smell. Like garbage.
One liner has always been a trophy little bitch, so if I
just pull the red wire. 33 You pull the red wire and the little
window opens with and it's just a folder in this one folder that
says oil rig information, pulling a 33 electronic security
tech. You have lucked your way into
finding this data, and it's right there on the screen.
Oh, excuse the fuck on that is all skill.
I didn't even use a bit of luck on that.
That's Yeah, that's right. You tell the GM.
Fuck that guy. So retro there's the file on the
screen. There's a little bit of time to
get it before the whole core gets deleted.
Yeah, I'm going to be tapped, get my information back.
You pull your tile out and you load the information onto your
tile. Zoop.
As you remove the tile the whole.
AI core goes green and then disappears into vapor, causing a
hole to appear in the bottom of the van, and it very slowly
starts to eat away at the bottom half of this white van, which as
it's dripping through the drivetrain, is very quickly
going to be completely wrecked. That's fine.
It's not our van, but they'll come here, let me sanitize you.
Oh. You're out of four.
Thank you. And retro has the files.
What? What files do you have?
Well, it's a bunch of files. I got to.
I got to encrypt them first. It's going to take a minute.
Why don't we get a drink? I would love one.
Oh, I'll take a drink. Bubble tea?
Yo, good news. The lavender bacteria is ready.
Oh yeah. I guess.
Let's get our bubble on. Next time on no latency.
Shit, I could have got this with drugs.
You know, I'm just really glad that we took the time to give
back to the community. You dirty dog, you.
Oh my goodness. You see?
Me. You were neck and reefs.
I think we got a message. Do you think I'm evil?
Look at me. I can read this this this
confidential note from Biotechnica.
Evil laugh at the end was quite convincing, so looks like the
oil rig is on top. Get in on the top label.
Oh, come in from underneath. Quite a bit of security on that
and more defenses as we go down. I vote from below as well.
Let's be honest, Y'all we're going underwater.
Just because it's cool. I don't know.
I spent a lot of money on V. A Night City.
Sorry, Vendel. You're going to keep dreaming.
It's a disposable economy, yo. Captain Jeb, you do know that
we're going under the water, right?
OK, well then hand me a bag, Captain, and send me off.
