Hello listener, and welcome to No Latency Season 2 Episode 100.
We've made it and we've still got a lot more story to tell.
But before we start, I'd like to thank you all for listening to
our amazing cast, for joining us on the adventure, our guest
stars, our patrons, and everyone else in between.
Thank you so much for joining us and supporting us here at the
bar. If you'd like to see more of our
stuff, check out our website at nolatencypodcast.com.
And now it's time. Shall we begin?
Last time on no latency. Stuck in a locker at the moment.
Doctor Dave is in the room. Stay hidden.
I don't know what I'm doing. It smells like expired Axe body
spray in here. As the hood is slipped over his
head. OK gang, throw him in a locker.
Write synapse. Yeah, could have been a lot
easier, but no, you just had to fight back.
They freeze the dead bodies. Sounds cool.
Look now in peace, I. Don't know what a gallbladder
is? I know I don't have a
gallbladder. The freshest bodies.
Maybe on a computer or something?
The ones out here on the tables. We're not in an operating
theatre. What do you get titties down to?
Treasure Chair. You're having an arm problem.
Let's just get to work. First time building a body.
You want a hand? It's an.
Opportunity. Don't.
Worry about it. So with that, we should grab
some of this equipment so I can get everything ready and we
should head to the bar. Oh.
You guys are back. He's.
Got a body? Cool Several.
Yes. We have all of the pieces.
Several, unfortunately. Right, OK.
Left Really. OK.
OK, so I guess we better do this thing.
For us. We have, Yeah, the last pieces
are here, the body. So is that like a manual to put
these Lego pieces together or what?
I need you all to put them all together all the time.
We're going to need a lot of electricity.
It's happening. So should we like ride bikes?
Yeah, we could all we'd get a bunch of hamsters.
Hear me out. A bunch of.
Wheels. No.
OK. Well, I appreciate you at least
hearing me out. One of the reasons why I
appreciate you won't do this so quickly is to get in time before
the storm ends the city. Storm.
It was a storm earlier, physical storm.
Actual weather storm yesterday. OK.
I just didn't know because you
were like a digital thing. And so never mind, continue.
The city is protected by lightning Spires.
All we get is rain and radiation.
The lightning is harvested by a ignorant.
In order for the lightning to hit our building, we're going to
have to take some of that network out.
Two Spires should do that quite nicely.
OK, So what? We just go over there, set up
some explosives and Bing bang kaboom.
Essentially, yes. All right, Oh well, easy enough
working. On the bottom here, we'll have
to send two teams, 1 to sire A and one to sire F.
So we're we're splitting up kind of doing it 2 at a time, both.
Spires have to be disabled at the same time for a plant work
chair. Jacks out, OK.
Without the siren operation, however, money will be able to
hit the ground. Where are you fast?
On your feet. How are we supposed to
deactivate or or redirect the energy from these Spires?
While you've been away, Stranger has been very busy building a
Spire on top of this zooming hey.
How's it going? I just, oh, it's raining.
I just finished the Spire on top of the building.
You could see. You could see the latining over
the wall, hidden in the desert. Yeah.
Domino's got this big old plan. I think it's a good idea because
we cannot, we do not have enough power in this building.
Oh, oh, OK. Lightning from the sky, you know
what I mean? I do.
Quickly into a real human body and hopefully.
At the same time this chuckle fuck over here.
I love it. I think it's a great plan and
should provide us with the power that we need.
I will say I don't think you answered my question.
We're just disabling the Spires so that the lightning will be
attracted to our Spire. Is is that what I'm gathering?
Yes. Oh, the.
Next how is going to be hit by lightning will be the Spire with
all the survey. Perfect.
And what I'm. Getting So we just need to get
one giga Joule of energy, really.
Yes. 30,000 amps. Gigawatts.
No, no, don't don't do this
through electrician. I will come through the
computer. Well, there's only well, there's
four of you and one of me. And you got to stay here.
And I have to stay here so. Dylan, I can go to A and the two
of you can go to F. OK, so team no fun goes to A and
chucklefucks go to F Sounds work to me.
That's not fair to vendor. Wait, you should apologize.
That's not nice. Which one am I on?
We're team Chucklefuck. OK, I checked that out.
Yeah. OK.
I disparaged us both. I was disparaged as well.
However you disabled the power is up to you.
Vendel are are you able to access public public.
What are those called? The public land surveys for
blueprints of the Spires. I don't.
See why not? We could do a library search.
Sure, I can do that. I know how to read a book.
All right, I'm checking the garden. 15 The You have nothing
in library search. You you, you rolled very high
for having nothing in library search.
You do a little search in the garden, and you find out three
things about the Spires. You may ask those questions of
this data now. Is there a core in the Spire
that powers the whole thing? Negative fire is a series of
capacitors all the way up. Is there an emergency shut off
system? Affirmative at the very top.
What does the emergency evacuation plan for that
building? Right.
Great. Perfect.
I like that. I think I think those are a
great question you're. Welcome, here is a related file.
The other thing you learn is that if you are going to blow
this thing up, you have to blow it up at the top because it's
very, very stable at the bottom, right.
Retro has an idea. So what we could do is we could
ask Tuna about getting the helicopter so we have some kind
of flying vehicle of course in. A OK in a storm.
Yeah, should be able to in a storm to.
Have to have a really good pilot.
You're right, we don't have anybody who could be good at.
Pilots we're not still not very dangerous any stats and any.
It's still very dangerous. Or we still have, you know,
electric strikes on it. Either way, we then could, you
know, on sale helicopter take, I'd say maybe a barrel each of
rubberizing agent. You know, we can also get from
tuna because you use that typically for fixing patches and
tires and such. And if we rubberize the actual
antenna, then Lightning won't strike it because there's no
conductivity for that. I'm just gonna you're.
Going to have to say that one more time.
Cover it with rubber jab and lightning won't get attracted to
it. Or cover it on.
The top of it. Pretty much, yeah.
GM Note In my wildest dreams, I did not think you were going to
solve this problem with a giant condom.
Paris, but. It's so no latency.
It hurts. I did not.
I did not think of that. I want to point out this fact.
You have brought in electricity to an electrician yes, and also
brought in helicopter to also an ex helicopter tech in the
military right So. We just got to make sure that
there's no one innocent inside of the Spires.
Well, not when we put the condom over the top of it.
It it'll protect them even. And we don't even have any
collateral damage because it won't destroy anything.
We're not. Blowing anything up anymore,
We're so past that. Yeah, we're not evil much.
All. Right.
Well then I guess you're going to have to call Tuna and ask to
borrow the helicopter. Yeah.
Helicopter, helicopter. All right.
Sure. We don't have one here.
No. We.
We.
Space. Place.
Now. Shoot, should we going to call
tuna or? Is it it's the middle of the
night all? Right, look, I'll do it.
Pull out my tile, I'm going to search my contacts and find Tuna
Riffic. What?
OK, so make sure you're safe and to the side of the road.
Are you in a safe area? Yeah, I'm at the.
I'm at the bar right now. What?
Is it? Why the fuck are you calling me
in the middle of the night? Oh well, we need a.
Yeah. Yeah, we need to borrow the
helicopter and I need about two barrels of rubberizing agent.
Yeah, I'm going. To check my stocks one second,
all guys are two, but I've got 1 barrel of rubberizing agent and
if you want to borrow my helicopter in the in the in the
this kind of weather, you're going to have to convince me
otherwise. What's your insurance like?
My little laugh should answer your question mate.
It's about a helicopter. Basically nothing.
So my vehicles that drive on the ground, Yeah, I got that.
Oh, Jesus. I'm going to, I'm going to put
my, I'm sorry, I'm not even going to put my hand.
I'm going to mute myself on the phone real quick and just one
second mute. Ayanna.
How much does a helicopter cost? Well, that thing probably
between 15 and 35,000 eddies. Is that affordable to us?
No, the domino maybe I. Mean I got I got some money.
We'll pay for the helicopter. Jeb says they'll cover the bill
if anything happens. Roll Persuasion.
Do I get a bonus because I use Jeb?
Yeah, I. Play with the DV.
Your your famousness, Jeb helps us, even helps us now and again,
Yeah. Definitely.
Yeah, wardrobe, persuasions and social. 23 Yes, that is enough.
All right, fine. Here you go.
I'll I'll I'm not really my place, but here's the I'll I'll
text you the code to the gate and the barrels in the in the
storage locker. I've only got 1 so.
OK. Do you have?
Any do something with the barrel to two different buildings.
You could probably only do it to one with the resources.
Are you? Fair enough.
Do you have any acidic or base high level base caustic
chemicals, potentially even waste that you're not using?
No shit. Only roll the two so I've got
basically nothing. Sorry mate, end of the month.
No motor oil to recycle. Motor oil, I mean, yeah, I've
got a few trays of motor oil and I feel quite like a gallon jug,
I think. Yeah.
All right. Yeah, we'll be by in.
Again, you're going to have to grab that yourself.
I'm not coming in. It's the middle of the fucking
nightmate. No, we'll.
Take what we find all. Right.
Normal rental fee applies. Yeah, I'm 50.
Yeah, Jeb's got a cover, I said. Great, awesome.
I spent my money before I wake up.
I will let Jeb know. Thanks.
Bye. Well, all right, so we got at
least one covered. OK, so what's the plan?
Well, one Spire we'll take care of pretty easily.
The other one might be a bit of a terror.
Honestly, I think that we take the bird, we drop someone off at
the first Spire to coat the the antenna in.
Oh, we can. Just dump it on the top right.
Yeah, sure. And then we fly to the other one
and use the emergency shut off system, which is also located at
the top half of the bird. Go home.
Not a bad idea. You know what it it now makes me
think for a second, What do we know about how bad storms get in
Night City? Bad.
Let me do a roll and see can I do a role to see about what kind
of phenomena. Go on roll Yeah.
Mainly because I do also remember at one point that we
ran into extremely acidic rain. Oh God.
Education. You read an article about how
the rain can change your favorite color, and there's a
there's a content creator going on about how their favorite
color used to be blue, but now it's red and they don't know
why. I'm a local expert. 20 You know
without the lightning Spires that the storm's going to be
bad. Not only does it keep the
lightning from hitting anything important, it also reduces the
ionization in the air, which calms the wind and the storm and
equalizes the pressure. This is going to create extreme
pressure waves on the edge of the city near the bar, and being
outside you will be in danger of being hit by lightning, blown
over by wind, or get extremely wet.
Hell yeah, like I'm not already we.
Could do this from the top down or we could do it from the
bottom up. We could also like parachute off
the roof weed. I think we already know how to
take care of the first one. Second one we could just split
up again. One from the top, one from the
bottom near the middle. Whoever finds it shuts off.
Bob's your uncle. I have.
I have it. I looked, I looked at the
blueprints. Oh, it's at the top, at the.
Blueprints. I I checked the public, the
public records. They always deny my request for
it. Why did I?
Why don't I ever get access to public records?
I work in a corporate sphere and it is it is far more oh so.
Corporate privilege. Exactly, exactly.
God. All right, well, we'll have to
let's let's, let's start heading over to Tuna so we can get the
helicopter. By the way, Jeb, you need to pay
for the helicopter fees to tune up.
Oh, I mean, how much is that? What 150 IDs?
Oh well. All right.
Thanks, Jeff. Appreciate that, I know these
guys are crazy. Here's a whiskey.
Oh, oh, thank you. Oh, wow.
You know what things are? Things are coming up, Jim.
Jeff, I keep telling you, you need to itemize your, your, your
bills for these heists so you can get them to be paid back by
Domino. That's what I have right now.
I'm on page 72. So there are two Spires, A and
FF is further out towards the wall, A is closer to you, and by
taking them both out it leaves a corridor for the storm and the
lightning to come towards the bar.
I say we put the condom on A, so then that way it'll be harder
for them to follow us back from FA is the close one.
Yes, right. So we're going to go to A, we're
going to put the condom on A, then we're going to go to F, get
down, back up because that's the way we like to.
Down, back, up. Yeah.
And then blow it up. Blow it up, all right?
Well, I thought we weren't blowing it up.
I thought we were just hitting the emergency shut off button.
That's emergency Plan C. Emergency.
Honestly, I think that that should be Plan B and we'll blow
up the building if we need to. Yeah, that's why it's Z the last
resort. I've got like 20, four other.
I have like 20 four other plants.
All right. Bibi's standing there in full
surgical gear. You, you've got to do your
thing. I need bullets quite badly.
I'm. Ready.
Vivi, you start setting up the body on this table.
Stranger brings you some cables which they draw down from the
ceiling. Want to see this?
Yeah. Obviously it needs a little more
oath to it, you know, but we're getting there.
That's what you guys are for. Oh, Vivi, you'll need these and.
Ping hands you 2 large iron bolts.
Oh, to go on either side of the head.
I see the final touches. Final touches.
Right, and they push a box towards you with all the
cyberwear in it, and you start to work on the body.
Your first medical check is now 21.
Yes, You manage to attach all of the flesh parts to the body, put
them together and there's a really cool stitch around the
back of the head that goes around their neck to attach the
head to the body. There's one that snakes around
the arm like a snake tattoo that you have attached.
Finally, the correct right arm and the body is ready.
You start to prep the body for the other cybertech parts.
As the crew leaves, you can hear your agent connect to your
earpiece so that you can be in constant communication while
they're working. You're going to need to be very
precise. About this energy when it goes
into the body, because it can't be all of it, it just needs to
be enough to transfer the data and bring Domino to skin space.
Skin space. The Flesh zone, that's what it's
called. I.
Forgot. IRL yeah, skin space.
Skin space. Remember right's positive,
left's negative. I.
Know OK you're. Confused.
Look at your hands. I yes OK, I messed up one time.
Twice, actually. And we'll never forget.
Journey into the world of Frostborn, The newest dark of
Dungeons at Randomness takes place 100 years after our last,
meaning it's a perfect time to jump into the show.
A small group of adventurers embark on an epic tale of
rebuilding and revenge in the magically frostbitten world of
Tharia. They'll struggle to stay alive
in harsh conditions as they call in every favor they have in
order to get payback against a corrupt king.
New audio and video episodes are posted every Monday, and you can
even help the group build the settlement as part of our
Discord. Find us on Spotify, YouTube, or
wherever you get your podcasts. The endless winter has finally
come. Rachel, are you driving this
bird? No, not me.
Who's? Got the chip.
I know one of you on the chip. I have the helicopter chip the
flight ship. And you have the flight suit
too. I don't my.
Old flight suit. Chip chip shit, I I suppose that
means I'm flying. Well, Jeb does too, right?
Yeah, what is your? I mean, I can, I can pilot
stuff. I'm just not very good at
flying. I mean, like, I'm not especially
good at flying stuff. You understand you?
Were to say on a number range on flying between 1 and 20.
I'd say about 12 Iona. 11 so. Oh well, Elaine.
Wait a minute, wait a minute. Oops, Jeff, you've got a, you've
got a chip slot now. Well, yeah, that was kind of not
my choice, but yeah, I got 1. Is it still heeled over?
What do? You mean it was?
It was not your choice. You literally asked for it.
Right. No, Yeah, you're right.
I. Forgot.
I kind of, I went because originally the whole, my whole
thing was going to be that I didn't really lack cybertech.
And I yeah. Well, people grow, Jeb, get it?
Not up. People grow.
Me included. I grew.
I grew a slot. Wow.
Slot is it? Is it?
Is it skinned over at the moment?
We feel, yeah. But, you know, just get in there
with the, you know, there was some pliers and just cut it
right open to kind of stretch it and.
I'll stick in something. Could you do that here?
I can just, I I'm going to pop out my own chip pop.
Pop, Ben Dale gets out of pocket knife goes to cut your neck,
Joe. Yeah, stab him goats.
And Vendel. Vendel calls VB.
VB. VB.
Yes, Vendel this. Is a bad time.
This is a bad time. OK, yes, I'm about to put the
heart in. OK, well, I know, I know.
Just I have to make an incision on Jeb's neck to open up his
chip slots. Do do I?
Do I can you just can you just look here?
So dude, do I cut here and here? OK, You see right where the end
of that little scarring is? Yes.
Yes, I do. Right here, Right there, very
gently. You don't have to apply a lot of
pressure, Vendel. OK, minimal pressure.
It should open right up. OK, OK, I'm going to.
I'm going to try that. VB roll me something to give
Vendel a bonus, then can we have Vendel roll something?
Yes, 1 moment, because we're moving slowly and carefully and
gently. We're just going to roll
stealth. Nice 15, yes, that is enough.
And with that 18, it is done perfectly, with almost no blood,
just the tiniest little bit of drop on Jeb's collar.
Jeb, it doesn't even hurt. It's kind of tickles.
Oh, look at it actually kind of itches back there.
You've been doing that again. Oh, yeah, we don't do that
again. It's just like, get it, get in
there all. Right.
Good job then, Dell. Starts to scratch the back of
your head into your hair. Oh, it's really nice if you.
Don't mind, I'm going to hang up now because I'm very busy.
Oh. Good.
Roll a surgery check to put the heart in 17.
You do so wonderfully, yes. You hang up, Yes.
It's all coming together. I I think this is really getting
to Phoebe guys. After Phoebe, it's hung up.
They're living their dream. Come on.
What doctors never wanted to have a mad scientist moment.
It's a phase. It'll pass.
I remember when I had my mad doctor phase.
Oh boy. And you insert the chip into
Jeb's neck and now he gets plus 4 + 4 to fly air vehicle which
is going to need in this storm 4.
Yep, 4. Sick retro.
You grab this this barrel of rubber fluid.
It is 7/8 full so it's just enough to cover the top half of
one of these buildings. Just if you mess up, you only
get one shot. OK, before you take off, I'm
going to make sure that on the undercarriage we have a we have
already set clipped in our ties to be able to dangle this thing
off. Air vehicle tech, Yes, You
accomplish the thing you want very easily.
Yeah. And now with a little Jerry
rigged thing you've set up, pouring this out the side of the
vehicle is as easy as pulling a lever, which means it doesn't
require strength anymore to do so Someone other than you can do
this. Wonderful.
That's going to be good because. It's a really high roll, so
you've just made a nice thing that's got a nice ratio out of
some scrap. I'm going to say though because
it's not a crit but it still costs 25 scrap.
OK. Wow, retro.
That's that's really cool. I like the motion.
Yeah, all just physics. Nice.
Pendulum make sure that you know it's going to stay upright once
the heavy swing goes through, so it won't just, you know, spill
right off the bat. They'll make sure that it's when
it's right hanging, dangling beneath.
You know, we'll be good. Won't have as much splatter as
well, although whoever ends up does, whoever spilling it, I
might get a little bit, maybe a lot amazing on them, but you
know, that's fine and I'm going to make sure I have on my pink
rain jacket on. Does anyone else do anything as
Jeb ascends the vehicle? Yeah, I turn on the radio to
Danger Zone. Nice making sure that we're
we're clipped in you. You noticed he's been so excited
about the barrel thing. They have not done their seat
belt exactly and they're in like a toddler.
Thanks. Tracy, I'm going to add your
token to this so you can see what's happening because you're
watching through a video. Oh yeah.
But we like the multitasker. You've got a little video feed
up as you do this surgery, as you stitch this body together.
I occasionally glance over to see how the rest of them are
doing as I work on my specimen. You can you can hear how
affected VV is. They're now wearing huge goggles
on their forehead. As you can see, the specimen has
been slowly pieced together, the heart now inserted.
Next, we make sure that it properly is attaching to the
rest of the body, and we look to the head, the brain, the most
important function, the. Stranger brings you a data
cable. Here you go.
Am I doing this? Limp rot Is this?
Is this how you want it? Thank you, my fine assistant.
That's right, my my master. Exactly.
That's a good one. Yes, that's exactly how you say
it. That's right, Doctor, you got
this. I'm.
Just going to lean over to Jeb and I'm like, I'm actually so
jealous right now. I didn't have my own assistant
when I went to my phase. So like, I feel so happy for him
right now. Damn it.
He's. Real.
Ascend, please, Jeb. Yes, let's put Operation
Raincoat into effect. All right, everybody hold on to
their butts. Oh yeah, I hit it.
You start up you start up the the helicopter plate vehicle and
it starts to hover off the ground roll drive air vehicle.
Air Vehicle. Roll Pilot Air vehicle 21 Yes.
You ascend into the air. The rain starts to batter the
sides of the vehicle and you can feel the wind swaying it.
With a little bit of work you managed to counterbalance this
and you head towards your first target, Spire A.
Here. We go, Jeff.
You're really, Yeah, you're really excited about it, the way
that this is fine. Oh damn.
Listen. Handles like a God damn well.
No sort of handles really well. It handles like a helicopter
that's been helicoptered. Yeah, it handles as well as UD
90A. I think this is the model,
right? Sure, whatever.
It's a valid prototype all. Right.
You're flying above the top of this tower, the very, very top.
There's not a lot of space up here.
It's 25 feet by about 15 feet wide.
There's a hatch on the top and then a long tower which casts a
shadow over the rest of the building.
There are three large Transformers which can connect
into the capacity storage and the rest of this Spire.
It's a very, very tippy top. This tall thin, razor like
building in the sky of this city all.
Right Jeff, make sure you put it into hover mode and let's get
like as close as we can to the tip, the tip of the Spire
without, you know running into it all right.
We definitely want to make sure we're above it, not next to it
just just above it. You know, I just.
Thought of something so so I'm not going to be able to help out
with this whole thing because I'm driving huh you're.
Piloting. Yeah, the.
Wind stuff and hit the vehicle. Roll pilot a vehicle.
Oh boy. All right, here we go.
Let's do this like and try to get real close right in there on
top. 18 We do get drifted slow. Hold on.
Here we go. Come on.
No, I know how slow it feels. But it's OK, OK.
Oh, let's see here. From what I can see right now,
are we close enough to pour the barrel on top of the conductive
part of the Spire? Yes, Jeb has to back up a little
bit, but you also need to prep the barrel, all right?
I will proceed to prep the barrel, making sure also that
I'm tied off at least to the floor of the helicopter.
Cool. Roll for it.
Jeb hovers the helicopter towards the very tip of this
Spire, and you can see it below you, these three points pointing
into the sky. You aim the edge of the barrel
as it sways left and right and get ready to pull the leather.
Yeah, I'm just, you know, taking AD clip connected to some nylon
rope and cinched it around my waist and then clipped the other
opposite end of the D ring to the belt loop in my pants.
Roll for it. I did.
Their vehicle Tech 24 yes, you start pouring this rubber over
the top and the wind is blowing. You're pouring a liquid that's
fairly discus over this thing and the wind is blowing all
right. You had there is 1/8 left of
this stuff in the barrel. So you did pretty well.
You didn't have to use it all. It's not enough to cover another
building, but you could use it I suppose to cover some stuff.
The on me. Roll Evasion.
Can we just say I failed? Because I think it'd be really
funny if I failed. Oh, if you.
Yeah, you can willingly fail, actually.
Oh. Yeah.
Should I roll? Roll.
Yeah. Roll.
Roll to see because you want it. So let's roll to see if you
where is it. OK, 16 with the wind blowing,
it's genuinely not enough because it's blowing.
I'm saying that that's a professional task, and that is
unfortunately a 17. So the barrel's cracked a little
bit and a bunch of it goes all over your legs.
It's a spattering of it though, just over your front.
Wind gust splash splashes some of the last bit on me but now my
face is completely covered. So now I need somebody to help
get it off of my face or otherwise I'm blind.
Fair enough. Yeah, so Retro turns around
towards you Iona, and there's just a big square of rubber in
the middle of the screen. You.
Can't see it's best. How did you even?
I'm trying to kick it off with my nerves as it can I knock it
off? Iona, it's a peel.
It's. Whoa, use my fingernail to peel
the the left corner. Both.
Hands each the little former. Vandell put positions the camera
up for BB2. Oh oh, roll for it.
Roll to get a perfect peel. Don't mess it up, Iona.
You're almost there, don't RIP the corner, sorry.
Careful. Come on.
Go. Make a decision soon, otherwise
you'll RIP it. The wind's blowing.
Yeah, we don't have a bureaucracy.
You know what? The esthetician in me, it's my
knees. Personal grooming, that's.
Perfect Oh, crit success, crit success.
So you get two things from this Iona you get two things. 1 you
get a perfect rectangle, a fairly solid rubber.
Which you can. Use as a pad to stand on.
It's like a standing mat for people who work in retail.
I love it. But it also on one side is a
reverse impression of Retro's face.
Rubber. Retro face got it.
And both Retro and Iona get inspiration because that's
that's a really cool thing that happened with that object I.
Mean retro just gets the feel of what's the term for it, that
good sense of accomplishment when you get the perfect peel
you. Feel directly and your screen is
so clean. It's crazy how clean you've got.
Like really, you can see really well.
Help clear out the air vents as well.
Got a lot of that gunk out. Just Jeb.
You see this in the rear view mirror.
Damn. You watch as this happens.
You watch the rubber pour around the building below you the the
windows on the sides cover. You examine the building before
it gets completely covered with this black shiny lacquer that's
getting battered by the brain. It solidifies fairly quickly.
There are a few holes in it. There is a small chance that
this tower won't do what you want, but that's a quick fail
situation at this point. The tower has been covered.
The storm is getting closer. You don't have much time to
disable the other spider. All right, well, you Jimmy this
tower, let's move on to the next.
Fly faster, Jeb. OK, OK, I'm on it.
Jeez. Yeah.
Put a money shot on it. 19 You narrowly dodge a piece of debris
that's flying in the wind. As the wind has picked up, it's
in the excess of 75 miles an hour right now.
It's actually pretty dangerous to be flying this in the sky.
This area is fairly open, but as you get closer and closer to the
last Spire, which is between a few buildings, you're going to
have to roll pretty high if you don't want to damage this
vehicle. All right, here we go.
The. Safe option would be to land at
the bottom and make your way up. But we ain't safe, so here we
go. Hold on to your bus again.
That ain't bad. 24 Amazing. Yes, you make your way all the
way through the city. As you pass by a few buildings,
you dodge a digital billboard that isn't solid, but it does
scare you a little bit. It's an advertisement for a kid
or brand. Oh.
Holy shit. As you're making a way to this
next location, you can see you can hear Vivi on her end of the
call start to attach a few more pieces of cyberwear.
The arms, the brains in the head now and the reinforcements for
the legs. We've.
Selected parts from different bodies and cyberware to make
sure that everything goes perfectly together to build this
specimen. Seems like it's all coming
together. Just a few more bits here and we
will be complete. Oh man, I can't wait.
I mean. They're really starting to get
their filling model locked down really good.
There's a static build up in the city right now with all of the
stuff you're wearing. BB.
The static is built up on you a little bit.
Your hair is now standing up on it.
The. Storm brews outside.
It is almost time. So you're you need to roll
surgery. Yeah, I.
Do 15 Yes. Domino doesn't get any bonuses
from this, but you install these various pieces of cyberwear on
his body and Stranger comes up to you with a very, very thick
cable. All right, so this is the Duffy.
This is the data cable. I guess the data cable.
It. Looks like a Bratwurst.
It's thick like a big old salon. It's like it's a huge cable.
It's he hands you the adapter which is going to be an absolute
nightmare to balance. You're going to have to find a
way to stop this from pulling out of this adapter while the
date is happening as well. That's all we got, Doc.
Sorry, I mean master. Assistant, are you able to hold
this while we transfer it all? Yeah, I got 2 hands would.
That be able to hold it. So it's like basically the way?
Or do you think there might be like, does it seem like I need
something else to like make sure it's all good?
This judgement is more based on whether you can rely on stranger
to do this. That's a good point.
That's really the thing that you're going for.
You could you could like examine him visually to see if he is
high or drunk which would have an effect on this.
Yes stranger, let me take a look at you and make sure you are
physically fit to. Bad enough I put this pillow in
the back of my jacket to give me a hump.
Why did you ask me to do that? It adds to the preparation for
the character. Hey, stop.
Taking our photo This is not the time I.
Just know funny we need full recordings of this pretend you
can't see. It your left eye?
Yeah. Scrunch.
Your face like that? Yeah.
Yeah, just like that. That's great.
I'm going. To I'm going to send this to
your black and white. TV bye perfect now.
Now let me take a look on. Perception.
Anything medical do you? Yes. 13 Yeah.
He doesn't smell drunk, he doesn't seem drunk, and he looks
at you and unscrunches his eye. I haven't.
Taken any kitten cash today. You guys said it was important.
I've stopped being high at about 1:00 AM so I'm.
Glad that you came prepared for this.
You know, I, I, I while we were talking, I rolled the dice and I
rolled boat. So I did not take drugs, all
right. Well, my assistant, you're going
to have to hold this while the transfer begins, yes.
So do you have the stamina to keep holding on to this for a
long period of time? You need an energy drink or
something to just keep you going.
I mean, if you think that your if your medical opinion is that
I need an energy drink, then I. Will have an energy drink
please. Pam take.
That thank you very much. Yes, perhaps just a little
stimulation to make sure that for the brain.
Ping make me a a lightning nipple.
With no alcohol. Please ping.
Thank you. All right, I think that I can
land this thing on the top of the Spire as long as it's as
long as I can get it just right there, perfectly placed and then
I think I can join you guys. Jeb roll pilot air vehicle
twice. Snapple.
Yeah, You make the journey
beautifully. You arrive on the top and you
park it on the top of this Spire right there.
There's enough space to get out. There's enough space to see the
tip of the Spire. The wind has picked up.
It is now going very, very fast to the east.
All right. Come on.
Just just probably. 100 miles an hour.
It's getting more and more dangerous to fly the vehicle.
It might not be a good idea to fly it out of here.
You can you actually see it like buckle towards the east a little
bit? And really wants us to go down
his nappy man land. Landed and we can.
We can get down. What did you say, Iona?
I I was saying we should just land it and walk down.
OK. Where's the fun in that?
You notice that the wind picks up and the helicopter starts to
tilt more as you step out of it. Oh God, we're going to have to
pay 150 thousand 80s. We're going to be deep shit.
What? Do you mean we?
Fuck it, I've only got like 5 grand.
We're going to be 145 grand in the hole if this thing goes
down. Keep hearing we.
We should guys, if we if we want to make sure we don't ruin the
helicopter, we should hit the autopilot home button.
It's. Oh my God, has an autopilot this
whole time? Well.
It's able to fly itself home, hopefully.
Oh God, slam the button. Let's get out of here.
All right. I'm going to slam it and I'm
going to jump off and then land with a cool and like throw my
the the my duster behind me. So I land like Batman all.
Right. Roll, roll, roll.
Athletics. To do that in a cool way.
Athletics 17. Amazing.
Yes, you look incredibly cool as the vehicle twists against the
wind and flies away. It doesn't do this gracefully.
The wind is blowing pretty hard. The only thing you really see is
the depth of the clouds change as the rain starts to buffet
against you at the top of this Spire.
Oh, hold a 7. It looks like the helicopter is
going to make it back, but just thank God you're now standing on
the top of the electric lighting company's Spire.
F. All right, well, I'm going to be
honest, the the first Spire kind of went real well, so I can't
imagine this one's going to go very smooth.
All right, let's go ahead and open that hatch.
Is it, is it unlocked? I imagine that there is a safety
mechanism so that people can't do what we're doing.
You could always knock What? Hello all.
Right, Go and bust that shit open.
Try and bust it open. It is locked.
How is it locked? With a double bolt, a lock that
goes left and right, a. Double bolt, so we just need to
pull the bolts. Yeah, it's mechanical.
It is locked though, all right. Jed, you get 1 bolt, I'll get
the other bolt. Just pull.
All right? Rob rolling Don't get a Charlie
horse. 21 Very good retro 23 Yes, you snap either of these
and you now have two pieces of scrap.
The Hatch can be opened down the.
Hatch. There we go.
Next time on no latency. What the hell am I looking at,
Jeb? Just in case you're feeling
stupid today, don't touch anything you'll.
See the lightning before you hear the Thunder make.
Sure, you come back on One Piece Retro.
I don't have to put you back together as well.
Wasn't your hump on the other side?
I don't. Understand it?
God damn thing is. This the emergency shut off.
Soon it will all be done. Yes, we're supposed to just let
it happen. We've all.
Been waiting for it OK for. Now we will continue How are we?
Getting down unless. Someone has a better plan?
I'm about to go to plan Z. Same.
As my companions are can. You remember what Plan Z was
slowly. Putting everything together an.
Explosion I. Imagine that's where the shut
off button is. I don't even.
Notice you did a breach and clear.
Jesus Christ, it was so clean. God no, I feel.
It I feel the storm incoming. They won't be able to operate
heavy machinery so got to move. Oh fuck, building is on fire.
Shit, it was. Supposed to everything was was
perfectly calculated. It was all supposed to go so
well. Thank you listener once again
