Last time on Latency Live 2025. I'm not going to touch a piece
of trash and then hit it through a window now.
Well, looks like work's calling. Teensy. 19.
Yeah. You do a flip, yeah. 20.
Oh Coyote, you do 2, you do 2 flips.
Petro, what did you roll for evasion?
That was embarrassing. That's.
An eighth. OK, I suppose I will buy the
clipboard out of the vending machine.
Yes you will. Is nobody going to throw a live
ring to the guy that we just pushed off the boat?
Who? So to be clear, am I painted
now? Dainty, you're so good at that.
Oh. I thought that was a ladder.
Oh my God. Whoa, why have they not been
delivered? Demerit.
Excuse me? I knock on the security door
office. That's one of the things we've
got to get to. And he you feel the box be put
down and he goes to open it. You are, as far as you can tell,
alone in the corridor with this man.
Uh huh. Yep.
Oh God, what do I have? What do I have?
What do we have? What are we going?
To do I try to blend into the box.
You're going to, you're going to.
Sorry, what did you just say? What?
Did. You, I said.
I try to blend into the box. Oh.
It's. Been established.
I'm not painted. Oh well.
Why is there a ladder in this box?
If you want to use paint, draw, sculpt again to be a ladder, I
will let you. Otherwise, I'm just going to
shoot this guy. So one last ditch effort.
I am preparing a flash bang grenade but.
I'm praying. That's an 11 on paint draw
sculpt pretty good. I have a first aid kit.
Is there anything that I is there anything in there that can
I can use to to like knock him out or something?
I have a. Question.
Go on. Is this Brendan Frazier George
or is this the studio takeover George?
Or the animated George. I'm I'm going with a with a
anime George. Oh, OK.
I also just rolled a a a crit positive.
I rolled a crit 16 and he rolls 22 and as he opens the box he
grabs Coyote from inside of the box, pulls her out above his
head and goes what are you doing in here?
Zoinks, what are. You going to do team?
I'm going to jump out in my construction uniform and go.
George, put her down. I need her.
She's part of my team. I'm still no idea what I'm
doing. Like what?
Tainting is tiny. So he's doing this, George.
I painted though, right? Stop.
It George. Roll translation.
Getting told George's voice changes a lot.
Don't worry about it. 16 yes, that is fine.
All right. Why aren't you in uniform?
Thank. You because this is a
specialized construction worker. I'm a contractor, yeah.
That one there's a word. For that, Rob Persuasion, you've
robbed badly lately. Prove it.
I'll prove it right now. Yeah, the 17th.
OK, I suppose that the cowboy hat is really cool.
People who wear cowboy hats are cool.
You're not wearing a cowboy hat. No, I'm blended into the wall.
I wrote a 28 with stealth. I'm painted, she painted me.
It was the same shade as the inside of this box.
Wait, I thought I saw that wall move.
Guess not Weird. Anyways, you can't.
It doesn't matter if you're a special like you can't be in the
box. Get to the construction site.
I'm staying in the box for what it's worth.
And he picks up the box. Jeb, you're in it.
And that was unexpected. Jeb's still in the box.
And make your way, you 3 to mass driver A congratulations.
Very, very good. The other team, however, moves
towards the call room. Do I have that set up?
That's the next slide. This is the call room on the
ground you can see a few sorry this is the yeah this score you
can find more of those lines on the ground one points towards
the core room itself one points to backup, which is locked with
the security door and one leads to the construction site for
mass driver a there's. One thing I really appreciate
about the cyberpunk future is their ability to really, well,
define where you have to go with ground markers.
They're on all over, they're all over Night City.
They really, it's really you just.
Follow the line and you get to where you need to be.
It's. Great.
Sometimes if you use your Chiron, you can.
You can, if they, if the paint's gone, you can do the AR thing
like so it's been dealt with you over the phone because you're
not there. My eyes are still closed.
Don't you know there? Sounds nice.
There's a new thing in Night City.
So long as you follow the line, you'll always be fine.
Iona and Retro, what are you going to do?
Well, this Did Domino say anything about a backup core?
No, They. Didn't say anything about.
This doors is backup and that sounds bad.
Well, we could just blow that up, too.
We're not blowing things up, we're putting a virus in it.
Well, why you got to take the fun out of every job?
Yeah, I don't have to. You could blow things up if you
want, but then we have to remove ourselves from Morrow Rock very
quickly. I mean, if you need me to sign a
requisition form, I'll do it. A requisition for for what you.
Have to blow stuff up. I don't know how your corpos
work. You have to sign up for
everything, order a sandwich at the menu, get paid.
Blow something up. Blow something.
Up. You have to ask every little
question about it. Well, let's put virus A into the
core, and if it doesn't work then we blow up the backup core.
Well, yeah, we can load it into the core and then we can just
back it up into the backup. That's you.
I've I've got us to the core room now.
It's your job. So, retro, where do you go?
You go to the core room or do you go to the backup room?
I'm going to go to I'm going to go to the core first.
Sure. Especially because, you know, I
wish I was getting paid by the hour on this, but there ain't no
unions. And let's see.
Eradicated. Inside of the core room you see
in the middle a giant cube, a big glass cube, and inside is
the core being cooled. Inside of the cube, there's a
security door on the side of it, 2 desks to your left, the
commander's desk to your right, and then a big screen with the
telemetry for the mass driver cannon on it.
Are there people in here? Yes.
I don't see people on the map. Well, that's because I didn't do
that. Yes, there is a there's a
commander, sort of a a A in his little commander uniform sitting
at the big desk on your right. There's two other assistants in
here. Great, I will accompany you to
the core. So you walk up to the core and
the commander gets up from his desk.
Hello. Hello.
Hello, I'm here for the inspection we.
Oh, you're the inspector? I am and we looks like we're
running out of time so I will need you to open it up so I can
just have a quick peek ski. You you want to go in the core.
Did you not read that as part of the inspection sheet?
But it's it's cooling. If we open it, we'll have to do
that over. That's not my problem.
You need this inspected by midnight.
Oh, right. OK, well, you know, it's just
it's been a little disorganized because the launch was really
last minute. These MC space people are like
kind of heartless weird. So it's, it's, you know,
sometimes they, they don't come across as human, you know.
That's so strange that they don't come across as human.
That's so strange. Yeah, they don't.
They, you know, I swear, I swear, you know, if I wasn't, if
I didn't see them, you know, I'd be like, wow, hey, lie, right?
What? No, just.
Really cool. Great.
Awesome. Yeah.
So as you can see, we've got this.
The the room is here. We have room in the.
Room I. See.
The room, the cable management has been a bit of a problem I
can see that also yeah, the the core requires a lot more power
than we realized you know shooting stuff into space turns
out difficult so yeah that's that's we have compute you want
to scan I don't know how I'm new so.
I just need you to unlock it so I can get in there.
That's great. That's perfect.
Awesome. Wonderful.
I'll do that. Let me just.
I'm going to, yeah. I'm sorry, do you not know how
to unlock? Well, here's the I rolled a
three so I'm not I'm not sure how there's a lot of buttons.
Oh oh, don't worry about this. So I don't.
My assistant can take care of this actually.
Vendell steps out remind you. Hi oh man, Vendell Sneaky.
You have a master key, correct? I don't know, Vendell doesn't
get social key. I'm I'm awake.
I have to explain to you right now that winking means that I
don't know that that I mean the opposite of the thing.
You just agree when I wink, OK. Oh.
OK, OK, do it again. Do it.
Again, you've a master key, right?
Yes. Perfect, and Vanelle's going to
pick the heck and lock. Oh cool, since I discourage
they've got a bunch of points in a lock pick.
They've been studying. And they're off that.
They have been studying. It's very fun.
Very, very fun. I got them.
I got them one of those little kits that had to pick lock pick.
Pick pick, pick, pick, pick lock.
And I'm going to throw two of their luck into it 16. 16 Look,
I rolled another three. I rolled another three.
Absolutely yes. Bendell undoes the duel and goes
to open it, and it's a little sticky.
There's pressure difference between the two spaces.
I need Vendel to roll evasion. Vendel has an evasion of eight
or more, which means they can dodge bullets, which is
sometimes useful. If you can think about that
could be useful. To dodge a bullet 21. 21 Yes.
As they open it, they step aside and a burst of air comes out and
oh, we rolled a crit 10. Nice 15.
Yes, The commander of this area, who you have not asked to say,
steps aside as the blast goes past him and cracks the screen
on his desk. Damn it.
Don't worry, I won't count that on the inspection.
You better not, it's your fault. That's not my fault that your
core is exploding. OK, Johnny Rockets, let's calm
down. Retro You're standing in front
of this machine and it is ridiculously complicated and way
deeper than you think. As you look down it goes about a
whole story downwards and you can see some stuff and cables
down there. It's like a whole TARDIS worth.
Yeah, there's A and there's a, a little computer, but there's no,
you have to like lean over to touch it.
So as you're doing stuff, there's a danger of falling it.
Great design. Event Vendel, could you just
hook? Hook what?
Just hook onto the back of his belt.
Just avoid. The ticker tape.
Oh, wait. Oh, you mean on to retro?
Sorry, I don't get social cues. Yes to retro.
OK. All right.
Oh, that was definitely uninspected.
Sorry. You won't fall now though.
Please. Oh, continue, Probably.
Pretty good, yeah. Well, I would like to go ahead
and inspect said machinery and also upload said virus.
Cool. Yeah, roll basic tech and
stealth because you have to put something in this machine and he
is watching you. Good thing he's new.
Can I ask then instead of basic tech, can I do electronic
security tech? Yes, yes you can.
It's more appropriate. But it's not to do stuff.
Yes, unless someone else does something.
Sir, I'm so sorry I didn't ask your name.
Major Thompson. Major R Thompson.
But thank you Major for being so understanding.
Would you mind showing me around the rest of the room while my?
I got real persuasion because I feel like I should watch this
other guy for some reason. I got a AA30 for electronics
that's not even stealth however almost a crit.
I got a. 21 Nice, what'd you roll?
13. 13 You both rolled over him, so he guides Iona and Vendel and
leaves Retro alone at the machine.
Vendel has to stay with Retro B. Oh, then they're hooked.
That's. You are very correct, Yes, You
are not with Vendel. Vendel is not with you.
Just me and my. You are walking around this step
and he starts, he starts to mansplain to you about how it
works. So computers are powered by
electricity and what we do. Oh, that's fascinating.
Keep going. Yeah.
And then you you see what you do is you plug it in and then if it
doesn't work, you turn it off and then on again.
Yeah, that's. I've never thought about that.
Something's not working, you turn it off and then just start
it right back. Up and if that doesn't work, you
check if it's plugged in. Wow, it's is everything in here
plugged in? Oh yeah, it's hogwired because
it's really upset when we unplug stuff.
Where the I'm not going to unplug anything.
I just thought that was funny. But all of this is plugged into
one source or yeah. Yeah, we've got plugged.
All around the room, yeah. Yeah, there's a big old nuclear
reactor underneath the building and it powers everything.
Solar doesn't work in Night City because of the, the red sky
thing and the impending like, you know, radiation in danger.
Yeah, the, the cables are at the bottom of the, the, the, the
backup and the core thing down there.
But the mask driver, I mean, that cable, it would take you
like a day to cut through because it's like as big as a
house. A lot of power to fire things
into space with magnets. With the magnets.
Yes, magnets, the magnets you please.
Explain magnets to me. And he starts to explain magnets
to you. Inspiration for leaning into
that. Well, thank you.
Very good, very good. Retro, you are now trying.
The machine is super cold. If you didn't have cyber hands,
this would be a problem. I forgot about that.
Damn it, you're sneaky little that was.
Meant to be the problem. One machine then, man by now.
All right, so you're leaning over it like this and you start
to like plug stuff in. Very scientific.
What you got? Well I like I said, I got a 30
for my. Yeah, you don't.
Know that and the security. Yeah, yeah, yeah, you're right.
Sorry. I was really excited because
we're at comic. Con I can roll again if you'd.
Like, no, no, no, that's fine. So you plug the the thing in and
as you you rolled really high, one of the things you remember
that Fresh said is you have to fire the mast driver empty.
And as you're tapping away it, the machine tells you that there
is something in the mast driver. Oh, and it says unusual payload
and nothing else. I really hope that Jeb is not.
I'm just. Going to I'm.
Just going to call it the Vendel since Vendel is close to me.
Yeah, I'm doing this. I'm just like, hey Vendel, can
you like, I don't know which, which one of them to call, but
like let them know there's something in the driver and I, I
can't fire it off until they clear it.
All right. And I'll give them a call.
Yeah. All right.
And Vendel calls teensy. Ring ring.
Oh, ring, ring, ring, ring. Trying.
To be really quiet. Hello.
Hi. Hi.
The missions going really well.
We installed our virus. If you've done yours yet, we can
go. No, no.
Oh, that's bad. OK.
Like it's barely. It's not been that long.
What is it? Oh retro you.
Oh yeah, yeah, yeah. There's something.
There's an unusual payload inside.
That's probably bad, right? I probably I.
You're the tech. I'm just, I'm just the sword.
Person. Yeah, but I haven't looked at it
yet. I don't know what's going on.
All right, Well, this is the scene transition to you being
there. OK.
Cool. Great.
Do you think Jeb's going to run out of air in there?
Oh, it's a wooden crate, right? We were just inside of it.
There's cracks. I hope.
I was going to say because he tried to send us away, but we're
still sneaking behind him going towards the driver, right?
Because you're, you're, you've. Made it out to Mass Driver A.
We're good. Yeah.
At Mass Driver A, you can see a A, A, a fairly tight space.
It's recessed into the ground and the walls are surrounded by
water. And you can see on the ground,
everything's made of metal, and the water will heat sink this
mass driver so that when it fires with all the heat it
produces, it will cool off using the water around the island.
I'm going to put that in your group chat, right?
Now I can't tell if that's environmentally friendly or not.
It's not This is Night City. They don't care about that
anymore. But outside you can see the
stars above you. The sky is unusually clear.
Tonight, when you swear, you can see a little extra speck of
light passing overhead, getting closer and closer to the very,
very North Point above you. It's the team satellite.
Do I actually know anything about the team?
You, you. You think it's weird that
there's a satellite passing over just right now?
Oh, OK. Jeff knows about it, but you.
Oh, that's. Weird satellite.
Weird. OK, now I see.
And you come across this little space as you enter in, all the
other workers start moving around.
They move stuff from this loading dock to the right.
There's a security guard who's given them a little bit of a
hey, man, hey, I see it. What's going on?
And then to your right, you can see this green tent behind a
little fence. And then beyond you in the
darkness is this tall, big metal cannon, it's silhouette blocking
out the stars of the night sky. So I'm a little confused of the
this the unknown thing it where is.
That's not where I'm going though, right?
There's there's an unusual payload inside the mass driver
ready to fire. The one that I'm going to.
Yes, there is only one mass driver active at Morrow Rock
currently because they're in data test GOT.
It OK. And the mass driver is the
cannon. That fires things into space
with magnets, right? How the magnets work?
Here Thanks. I know we're supposed to go
towards that thing, but I'm really intrigued by this random
tent. I'll go wherever you go because
you're my best friend. Besties.
What do you think, Jeb? He's in the box, do.
We see the the Jeb box. Is that anywhere?
Should we get him? Do I see the box?
I think bro's still carrying it, right?
George of the Jungle. He's George has put it down.
It's in the loading area. But we can.
Roll Evasion or Athletics to see if you fall over or get hurt.
Great idea 27. Oh no.
You do fine, Chris. He doesn't see you.
Like he opens the lid of the box and you're like spidered in the
lid of the box. Oh, there's a ladder in here.
That's weird. And Jeff's like, OK.
She's probably fine, probably great.
Where's the box slash me? On on the map you could see a
little loading dock on the right before the shadow.
He's put you down right there. Oh.
So he didn't load you in yet? It's not his.
His job is to bring things here. The crew unload the boxes and
they start to pull things out of the shop.
He's taken the thing, he's taken the lid of this box and lent it
against the wall. And so you're inside this thing
like leaning against the wall. OK, with my with my technology
of how things work, do I know that I need to remove this
unknown object before I can put the virus in on my end as well?
That's what Fresh said over the phone.
It has to be fired empty for the virus because the essentially
the virus lets the machine fire empty which will misalign the
magnets and it mean it will be out of Commission for every
year. Are there other construct?
Don't we want it out of Commission?
OK. There are there are other
construction workers here, yeah. Are they in?
Yeah, they're just milling about.
It's very busy. Well, I'm going to mill about
towards the wherever they load things in and check it out.
Cool. So beyond in the in the darkness
you can see the mast driver and on your left there was that tent
you wanted to look at. Do you still want to or are you
moving on? I.
Really want to look in the tent. I'm going to look at the tent.
I'm looking in the tent you're. Looking in the tent inside of
the in front of you is a door, a little gate, and then there's a
tent behind it, and it looks like it's the pit boss's tent at
the head of the construction team.
The door is locked. OK, the door on the tech.
No, the dare. The gate in front of the gate
for me. Well, I'm a tech, so let's
unlock it. Cool, I'm a tech so it's
actually not locked. It's not locked for me actually.
While this is happening, Jeb roll stealth evasion, something
to sneak over to where the mass driver is.
Oh yeah. Oh gosh.
You're telling my well earned inspiration to check.
Yes, they're so sneaky. He's playing.
We're about to find out if this paint thing is just a one off or
maybe this is a thing that I have to do all the time.
Here we go, round two, Baby 99. It turns out being painted the
color of the inside of a box is not useful when you're outside
of the box. As you pass by the security
guard the the the guard stops you and he puts his hand out and
as he touches you his hand gets covered in paint.
Sorry about that bud. That is not uniform.
Go back. You have to be in PPE Pee pee
phrasing. Wait, where?
Where do I get this this BB? I'd go and ask the pit boss in
the tent. You need a hat.
You need a high vis jacket. OK, I do that also.
Clean up. Yeah, there's it was a bit of a
painting accident on the barge. OK.
Yeah, it's fine. It's a water soluble you.
Got anything to clean my hand? I walk away.
That guy now does not like you. When Jeb turns around, it's just
the front of. A.
It's absolutely just the. Front It's like a cowboy from
behind my. Paint roll was not that good.
I imagine that as I walk up to the this door where the pit boss
is. You can see teen, she's trying
to unlock the door. I knock on it.
Well, I hadn't yet Cybertech. Cybertech or lock pick?
Cybertech 25. 25 As Jeb goes to knock it, you open it.
Any embarrassing that doesn't get to knock at all so the door
swings open. You're welcome.
Tell me what's in there. I'm super interested.
You step inside of the little tent.
It's tiny little tent right here.
What's in the tent? Is this the one that's not the
right one? No, it's not the right one.
I did it again. You can't label things in
Keynote Mate. He's done it again.
See, normally. So there's this little green.
It's great. All right.
Paint is a word picture. Paint is a word picture inside
of the tent. That's not right pants.
Inside of the tent is a few little objects.
There's a few, there's a few lockers, there's a computer, and
there's a little notice board. Is the boss in here?
Yeah, he's sitting at the desk and he looks at you.
What's on the notice? I I walk in behind him and I'm
like, this guy needs a uniform. What a joker, am I right?
Yeah, sorry about that, boss. First day on the job, you
understand? Sorry.
Pain accident. Right you you look dumb.
That's why he needs a uniform. That's why we're here.
OK, roll Persuasion. I thought he looked pretty good.
Oh, that's a crit fail. Wait, you persuasion or me
persuasion? Oh.
Yeah, I was talking so I. Was hey, I don't recognize you
on the the sheet. You are alone with him in this
tent. Duck tape.
All right. You should have a makeup.
So broiling. Happily.
What are we rolling? Roll Brawling.
Oh, brawling. No, only Jeb.
No, I got handcuffs. Sorry, hang up.
Then you roll brawling as well. I've got a yes and I've.
Had these in my pocket for so long, let me use them 1414. 1717
I rolled 16. Oh.
I'm better. So together you duct tape over
his mouth. So he goes and then slides under
the desk as he turns around, jumps up behind him and.
Just so are we going to kill this guy or what?
Relax. Witnesses.
I know, but if we. Ultimate stuff, no one to see
us. And you did ask what was on the
notice board, didn't you care? Yeah, yeah.
On the notice board are a few like menus, safety things, but
one of the things it says is are you magnetic?
Take precautions. Wow.
I take that. What is it?
It's it's a piece of paper. It just says that.
It says are you magnetic? Take precautions and then it
lists the the the PPE that you can wear that protects you from
magnets, guys. Do you have I have metal in my
legs? Do you guys know how magnets
work? This is.
Crazy. So was I'm going to.
Explain it to me. So what are you going to do with
this guy that you have tied up? Well, if, if we do shoot him,
I'm going to have to roll a I'm going to have to roll to see if
I want to eat him. I'm not ready for that.
From the study. Yeah.
That's crazy. Yeah, does.
Anyone. Have any sentence put him to
sleep? We could punch him.
Oh. Punch him till he.
Gets knocked out. OK, I got I got a combat shovel.
I punch him in the face. Roll for it, OK?
What do I not to my brawling? Gaming.
Gaming I.
Wonder what's going on with them over there.
I haven't heard back yet. I can only listen to magnets for
about 45 more minutes because. They have a North and a South.
Pole just like the. Earth.
See, the Earth has a North and South pole.
Where is that the 4th? 1 is where is the. 1.
From our friends at Infinite Sided Dice comes a story of
space and death Space. Doesn't care about you and.
Dying in space just makes sense. I'm not going back in there.
I'd kill her. Shoot her now.
Whoa, whoa. This seems like a rather tense
moment. Shoot it.
Why can't you roll good? What the hell is this?
Which has happened? You touched it, didn't you?
That's where we all live. That was a rather strange tune
of. Offense, I'm going to hide.
Please, if you hear this, please come find me.
You hear something big and heavy.
Oh my God, are you one of them? Don't worry, I'm an emotional
support Amory stop. My name is BT 9 but my human
friends like to call me Buttons. What's your name?
Infinite Sided Dice presents Mothership streaming now on
YouTube. Check out Infinite Sided Dice at
youtube.com. Forward slash at Infinite Sided
Dice. Where is that the?
4th 1 is where is north, where's no South and the South one is at
the South and in the middle is the middle magnet which is a
technical thing that not a lot of people know about.
What does the middle magnet do? It it doesn't do a lot.
Meanwhile. I rolled A20I punch him in the
face. Rolled A20.
Yeah. Come on.
Oh, yeah. Oh, that's good enough.
Well done. Yes.
You smack him in the face and he goes limp and falls.
Teensy roll invasion. Long punch wandering.
She really is that small. I tiny.
You are tiny. I still get +2 because of my.
Or. I don't have.
To what? What do you get?
What did you? Roll.
I rolled a 26. Roll 26.
Yeah. You effortlessly dodge out the
way and as you step back you open up the door to a locker and
he falls into it and you slam it shut.
Magic. So you now have taken out the
pit boss at Mass Driver 8. No one knows about this because
you did it quietly with no guns or blood.
Well done Jeb. And you're sitting in this tiny
tent and you hear all the workers outside moving bits and
bobs around. I'm going to pay attention to
the whole magnet thing and make sure I have the proper PPE on.
There is one anti magnet suit inside one of the lockers.
Is is there another PPE suit that's not?
Anti magnet, Yeah, yeah, there's a big box of them.
Because that man outside told me to get some pee pee on.
So I'm going to put some pee pee on I.
Put some pee pee on. Yeah, I I step back out.
Hey bud I I got the thing on mind if I about?
In our pee pee, just a. Couple of pee pee friends.
We we all got pee pee on you asked.
We delivered. As long as the pit boss said it
was OK. Yeah, it was.
Super good of his. Tent and we're in the proper
gear. OK.
Hi, George. Oh, I rolled it too.
I believe you. No reason not to.
Yeah, cool. My job's over here.
Can you please stop keeping me from my job, George?
Oh. All right, cool.
OK. I'm going to go over and see
what's blocking or inside this thing that I do it.
As you step towards the mass driver, that's not what I
wanted. Don't do that.
Why is this hard I'm. Going to take this opportunity
to say that Paris makes all of the art and it's awesome and if
you set up for a Patreon you can get all the art that he makes.
Yeah, we we release new maps all the time for you all to check
out. And this is one of our isometric
ones. I only make isometric ones for
cons. So you were the first people to
see this. This is mass driver A as you
step through the big wall, past the kind of Luke warm gate
that's in the way. But there is a guard.
It's a little warm you. Pass by him, you got the pit
boss out of the way and you're standing in front of this huge
machine and Teensy, if you thought that you fell in love
with a robot. Teensy has never seen a machine
this powerful or this big. The hum of it gets her excited.
Tell me more about this. I need you to roll resist
torture drugs so you don't climb all over it to check it.
Hold me back, Coyote, Hold me back.
I exploded. I got 20.
OK, Yeah, you totally know what the computer is.
There's a computer by the door. There's a big, big payload door
and there's a little console next to it and it's it's beeping
in a cord of C and it brings you a lot of joy.
Yes, indeed. And as you as you step up to it,
there's a little slot for you to insert the the virus chip and
you're trying you, there are a lot of people looking at you at
this moment and construction work is not really meant to be.
So you need some help. Don't worry everyone, she's a
professional is. That the kind of help I needed.
But wait, don't I have to get the unexpected payload out
before I put the virus in? Oh.
Yeah, yes. But you are so high, high
Technical Support. Yeah, the virus, first make sure
there's nothing in it and then get them in the core room to
fire it. OK.
Don't, don't be near it when it fires.
Yeah. OK.
Is it fresh? Hi.
Hi, Fresh. How are you?
Hi. How's it going, Jed?
I'm doing great. You know, we've been on so many.
I love you. Wait, wait.
Love. You too.
That's weird. It's so nice you guys have such
a close relationship. Not really.
OK, if you date well, I already make a distraction.
OK. Hey everyone, My name is Coyote.
Thanks for coming out tonight. I was contracted as a team
building exercise. Y'all like some clean family
oriented stand up. Roll acting.
Great. That's definitely.
One the one thing you can always rely on with Anais, they will
bring out the fun esoteric skills in this game and make
them matter I. Need It 1313.
What? Was that joke though, that you
were? I rolled the tooth.
They have a very low sense of humor.
They get it. What's the terrible joke to?
What? What's the one thing you're not
supposed to eat when you're on a game night of Cyberpunk?
I don't know what. You're not supposed to eat
cookies. Family friendly.
One of the one of the one of the tubes on the things like, oh, I
thought it was yellow snow. That's hey my man right here.
Don't eat yellow snow. That's.
I hate that. Unless it's lemon, so.
I'm putting the virus in. Cool.
Roll for it. I'm about to shoot that guy.
Just. Roll AD 10 or or.
Roll a You can roll electronic security tech or basic tech
attack. But do I'm just making sure that
that the mass driver A is empty? You look at the light and it
says occupied. That's what I keep asking.
I thought I had fresh just said virus first then check.
Yes, but. The order of operations was very
clear. That was my bad.
Sorry, don't tell. Me.
I'm so put the virus but you rolled well.
I rolled a 26. Oh, you did great.
Yes, you plugged the chip in with Coyotes distraction.
This is super easy and you watch the little virus load in and you
guys get a message that the virus has been installed but
that there is still something in the payload chamber.
That's what I'm checking next. Cool.
Well, it looks like that. They've opened the door then.
OK, it's still jammed. I'll open the door.
You open the door, and as you open the door, no one's paying
attention to you because they're all laughing at Curtis, terrible
jokes with their even worse sense of humour, and as you open
it, your heart sinks. As the door opens, there's a big
clunk, a noise, a very quiet klaxon, and on your own, no one
else sees this. The payload pushes towards you,
clunks down and arms. It's a nuke.
A1 kiloton nuke. But did they get the proper?
You don't disable this, Everyone on the island dies.
I better get to work. You should TPK.
You should TPK at San Diego Comic Con.
That was be such a baller move. It's season 3, new laps ball,
everyone dies. You're the only people that
know. What do I got to do to save
everyone's lives? How would you like to disable a
tactical nuke? Well, how like how much
cybertech, how much cybertech is around it to a lot then then
that, yeah, that'd be great. Cybertech.
Feel like nukes are made out of cyber stuff.
Pencil lead, A piece of gum. You're going to MacGyver the
nuke. I've watched enough.
Demolitions. Could I just like send a bunch
of images to on? The like text to Retro Iona, you
are standing in the room and you're looking at Retro across
the ways. It looks at his agent.
His, his. Sad face.
Sad face Explosion satchels. Nuclear fallout symbol.
Yeah, nuke symbol. And Iona, you're looking at
Retro and the expression printed on his TV face is not one you
see very often. Often.
What did you say? What?
No. What?
Oh, good. Good.
I've thought it's not one you see very often.
Retro looks scared, right? Yeah, yeah, there's a nuke
that's about to go off. What?
Look, I've all all the fear is
in my body right now and I have to like let it out so I have no
filter. We're all going to die.
I need. You to take it down a couple.
Notches. Major Thompson or whatever is
over here explaining magnets still.
He thinks I'm still standing over there, but.
He's just googled monopoles. So a mom.
Did somebody say Nuke? Yes.
I. I'm sorry, there's a nuke.
Take care of it. OK, just.
Two thumbs up emojis appear after that.
And then a Celtic. Retro, how are you going to help
Teensy from afar? All right.
I'm just going to have to be. Moral.
Support. Well, I guess moral support in
my mind, I guess I'm it's going to be like, like in the movie
speed, right? I'm going to be.
I cannot remember the. Name after Keanu Reeves?
No. Not Speed Reeves, the other one.
Sandra Bullock. Nice.
The boss. The one who?
Played Harry anywhere? Yes.
Oh, Jeff Daniels. Now I can't remember.
I'll be the I'll be the Jeff Daniels to your Keanu.
OK, You're going to have to open the front panel.
Wait. Talking to me like I don't know
what I'm doing. Use a hex 18 screw bit and once
you open it up you're going to have to tell me how many wires
you see. I like to think that Jeb is next
to you. You're like hex 18, hex 18
scalpel. Of.
Your nuke nurse. Roll to see how you help.
Do well. It's dangerous.
Please, I don't want to. Die.
That's my middle name, baby. Oh.
I hold your fates in my tiny, tiny hands. 13 you are not
disabling the the nuke, you are encouraging someone else and a
13 is mid but it is enough to give teensy a + 1 It's not a
fail. All right, Teensy, you have a
nuke. Just a weapons tech skill.
With a little bit of help from Retro, you know the right
screwdriver to look at, which saves you a little bit of time,
but there isn't a lot of time left as the counter has now
started ticking down. It seems that maybe, perhaps
this was a trap. Whoa.
I know I'm terrible. It's what GMs do Awful.
OK, can I roll cybertech on this?
Absolutely. And I have +1.
You have +1. And I'm going to use all my
luck. Oh.
Smart What's? Important we're.
Going to blow up anyways. Luck as a mechanic in Cyberpunk
Red where you can add to your dice score?
No need. No, I mean OK with the plus one
and my 6 luck that is a 37. 37. Deal with that, chum.
I'm tiny, but I'm mighty. What is what is wild about what
happens is you watch Panic disappear from Teensy as she
just goes into that laser focused trance, grabbing
different objects from from Jeb in a way that Jeb is very it's
trying to keep up but not doing a very good job of it.
But Despite that, Teensy manages to pull out the core of this
nuke and just put it in a bag. Bag.
It's nice city. You already are irradiated.
You are aware of that, that right?
Oh yeah, yeah, it's all tingly feeling.
But Teensy's also wearing the mag suit, which does give you
protection to radiation, so don't stand near her.
But now you've disabled the nuke, the payload is out and
people have started to notice. You've got to push the payload
out, close the door and then get these guys to fire it before.
You run out of jokes. You care more about your brand
of tires and your brand of shoes.
You might be a nomad. That one gets gem.
That's good. That's good.
Jeb and Coyote roll something to distract everyone as teensy
because you rolled so high gets a free crit.
Close the door and all of that business.
Wait, say that again. You have to distract everyone as
as she moves the payload out. Great.
Great, great. Well, it's distract.
What's a? Distraction skill, I mean.
Other than what you're already doing.
So true. For all of you that don't know
this show, Jeb has a A has a pet.
Cybernetic bird. A cybernetic bird in the a
vulture. In the stillness of the water
and the night, you hear this piercing whistle from Jeb as he
looks up with this. Yeah, I'm in a Western look.
I swear, if there's a sunset, he'd look really cool, but no
one can see it because it's the middle of the night.
You just see a shadow goat. But every now and again a *
disappears and comes back and then you hear this coring on the
very good thank you voice acting.
Very well done. Teensy.
Very good. So talented.
When you listen to our show, it's.
Full of There's this beautiful, majestic moment.
What did you roll? Oh, great question.
Animal Handling. I feel like 15 acting is really,
I just want to be true to the game.
I feel like act it needs to be acting.
Right. It does have to be acting for
Coyote. Yeah, OK. 9. 9.
Not a lot. That last one was a bit of a
stinker. Unfortunately, Jeb, what did you
roll with that in my hand? I just forgot what I said 1313.
13 You rolled a 13. Both of those are not great, but
they 13 is a pass. Unfortunately, the consequence
of this is that Sloan lands on top of Coyote's head and then
poops on her hat. Whoa, whoa, whoa.
That's a hell of a distraction. It's a big.
Distraction, but the hat is ruined.
Oh. No.
Cybernetic bird. Crew, they say that's really
lucky. It's OK, I needed a new one
anyway. I'm so sorry about that bad
girl. Slow.
Come on now, girl. Sorry about that.
I'm. Moving with a new.
Cart corn. Let's go.
Around the back as everyone's watching the poopy bird you.
Slam the door, you leave the carcass of a disabled nuke
behind and rush past everyone. I need you all to roll athletics
or stealth to get out of here. In the meantime, in the core
room you get the go ahead that the nuke has been disabled.
I I think, I think that's a go ahead, Remy, go.
Ahead. Oh yeah, no, but as soon as I
see that, it's clear I'm just going to fired off.
No, no, don't, Don't touch that. Don't.
Don't touch that. This one right here.
Don't, don't touch that. All right?
Roll. Roll evasion because he's quick.
He was. In the army.
Roll well. Can I roll brawling instead?
Yes, but roll well. Like very well.
Or he's going to explode anyway. Go ahead, do your thing.
Do it. Do it.
Correct 34. Roll well.
I rolled A crit as well. I rolled 28.
Very good. You pull the things because no,
that was a cool echo, wasn't it? It was probably me, sorry.
I'm just going to try to pull the move that my best friend and
roommate Sano taught me, and I'm just going to kick them right in
the balls. Vibes as he goes to step towards
you. Roll Brawling.
I did. What was it?
34. Oh, that's right, 34 And you
kick him in the nuts, and he goes oh, in time, as the ground
shakes the cannon in the distance, you see it rumble as
the various magnets that surround it are fighting each
other with no payload, and it just shakes and fires a plume of
particles into the air. As you do this, the people in
this room pull guns on you. You two shoot back.
Sure. Pew.
Outside, you guys are quite
taken back by the rumbling above you as these particles continue
to shoot up into the air randomly, the whole machine
starts to shake and kilter as these magnets click and touch
metal. They should not.
You hear that screeching noise when you really should have
taken your car to the mechanic about a week ago.
That noise, it's not a good feeling.
It's like scraping on the chalkboard.
I need you to roll Resist torture drugs to not feel.
But. You we didn't get ourselves.
Rolls. What are they, 1928?
I forgot to roll. Sorry, Comic Con is distracting.
Athletics, 1414. Yes, you do find you're running
out of the area being chased now by a bunch of of construction
workers who were pretty scared because the machine made a noise
that it should not you. Shouldn't have seen the nuke.
There's a what? Oh.
Don't worry about that Get. Out of my way.
All right, so they put guns on you.
Are you going to I, I told you to shoot.
Technically don't have to shoot back, but I would.
Can I before having to submit the violence?
So OK, before we do this, can I just want to have one drink, 11
quick drink and pull up that can of boost.
I got open it up and I'm going to drop it down.
That thing that's the nuclear reactor.
So do they want to shoot us now or do they want to go after
that? All right, all right, fine.
OK. Why?
I didn't roll very high, so I'm not.
They panic. They don't know that a boost is
what a boost will do to a nuclear reactor.
I don't think anyone in this room knows what a beer would do
to a nuclear reactor. Pretty awesome magnets.
But it does give an opportunity for you all to run, run.
The whole facility is shaking. There are huge waves of magnets.
And that's the other thing, retro, that's the other thing I
forgot. Magnets.
I know all about magnets.
I can save retro. Well, you've learnt a lot about
magnets over the last 20 minutes and unfortunately you watch
retro like falter and you do roll resist torture drugs.
You have to be a 35. Roll resist.
How about a 17? Not enough.
You fall to the ground and now your head is magnetized to the
ground. As I see Retro doing the thing
where he shakes and now he's on the I'm just going to take my
gosh darn clipboard and shove it in between the magnet and his
head and use it as a lever. I don't think I've ever done
this before. That's inspired second one of
the that's really smart. What a great Chekhov's gun to
pull that back from Elliot. Nice, good, very good.
Yes, I'm only give you plus one to that as well because I'm
nice. Roll for it.
Or a Morrow, I guess. How about a nice?
30 A nice 30 yes you you, you. You managed to get him up.
The only side effect of this entire event is now he has a
metal clipboard stuck to the side and you rush out to the
docks. You're out there, you've made
it. You got through.
Hey guys, got to go for you guys.
We disabled a nuke. Do not come near me radiation.
I think I want to be a comedian. Out at out at the docks, you can
see that the barge has indeed left and there is a tiny, tiny
little boat up. I'm not going to make it happen,
but it's a tiny little boat. We've seen it, we've seen it.
Up against the docks, someone who has to drive and and it's
and it's Coyote who has to drive.
OK, I drive. Drive water vehicle or whatever
that may be. Oh wow, sea vehicle.
Sea vehicle, that's the one. I speak English.
Needful. For doing this nuclear thing,
tossing. The water water foreshadowing is
a device that we. 17. 17 Yes, you managed to control this tiny
little speed boat and because you rolled so high, you also
managed to steal it. It is now your tiny boat.
This is crazy. I've never driven a boat before
comedy. On the water.
And as you speed across the water, behind you, the mast
driver still crumpling into itself as it implodes, you look
up. There in the sky there's a sea
of magnetic particles, and for one night only, above Night City
is an Aurora borealis. Beautiful cyberpunk colours.
Of course, 'cause obviously. So neon.
Yellows and purples in between the little ribbons of colour and
magnetisms. Good, you can see your satellite
safely passing on to the rest of the night sky.
We'll need that for the rest of Season 2.
And as you're as you're standing there teensy, you get a text
message, little voice memo from Phoebe.
Hey guys, it's Phoebe.
Where'd you? Go, I got your.
Bubble tea orders. It's midnight.
Where are you guys? Did.
You see that sky tonight? OK, just call me back because
the drinks are getting. Warm.
OK, bye baby. Oh, so should.
