Last time, Oh no latency. My jaw is on the floor then now
please. Got a computer for a head?
I think technically his head is a TV.
Can't do that if you have it written on a piece of paper.
You'll get the book out of retros hands we've.
Been there the entire. Time.
It has been there the entire time.
What? What?
You don't find anybody's name from No latency in there.
Not even any sono. A little bitch tonight we're
going to my old workplace. In need of a certain type of
body. Yes, at the morgue.
That's convenient. Usually disabled key cards once
you've left Doctor. Dave.
And CM13 the whole. Morgue is on lockdown.
Why is the morgue on lockdown? Well, is there a way to lift the
lockdown? Vivi, what kind of car does
Doctor Dave drive? I don't.
Know something corporate? Oh.
No. That's a concern.
Are. You gonna please reply?
I don't. I don't like these kind of these
jokes. This is not funny.
I Guys, guys, I'm panicking. Guys, I'm panicking.
That's my job.
No panic. Oh my God, that's my job.
I should have gone with them. Oh my goodness.
I want to make. I want to make.
Yes. Remain calm.
I know where they went, so let's just all head to the back.
There's a back panel that they were trying to investigate, so
let's just head back there. It's only been a couple of
minutes so they couldn't have gone far.
OK. It's easier to It's easier to
see you in the dark when you talk loudly.
Yeah, something about your good vibrations.
My ripples. Good vibrations, Phoebe, don't.
Talk about your ripples in public.
Phoebe, I don't say this to you very often, but phrasing.
OK, follow my. Ripples.
Good Lord, you doubled down on that, OK.
To the back, everybody. Wow.
Iona, as you come around the corner, you see a van parked
behind the building, not in a space across from a window.
Is do does it look like my former boss's van?
Doctor Dave? No.
OK. That is Doctor Dave's car is
yellow. OK?
That is not Doctor Dave's car. OK.
I think Iona is being kidnapped right now and it's not Doctor
Dave. I don't know who that is.
Maybe we did need a van. I.
Knew it. I'm sorry.
I. Just knew it.
Wait, wait, listen, you, we're taking, we're taking a, we're
taking ripples to a van fight. Damn it, Phoebe, you gave.
You gave Jeb affirmation. Now they're going to be loading
onto that for you for a while. I mean days.
Sure, OK. Maybe even a week.
What do we do? Should I shoot the vehicle?
No, that's probably not a good idea.
Guys, when you can't drive away. That may alert oh man, our whole
burger burglary plan burger burglary.
I can't say that word. Our whole burglary, our whole,
our whole plan is going to be changed.
The whole burglary, burglary, our whole burglary shit, OK, If
I, if I shoot, it's going to mess with our whole plan.
Then look, you know, we, we, we, we make a shot, or you, and you,
me and the rest of the other Hamburglars go and take out the
the car. You realize that Jeff's not
around you guys anymore. Where the hell did Jeff go and.
Then you just, you just hear. Oh, and Vanna White comes
screeching around the corner. Roll roll the driving check.
First roll the the the recording session. 25 Yes.
You drive the van down the side of the building and you've come
up to the corner. What do you want to do?
Oh. I was hoping to whip around the
corner and then pin that van against the wall.
So that. Oh shit, it can't go anywhere.
Phoebe Jump. No, she's going to jump over the
van. No, I'm jumping out of the way
of the van. Shit, Because Jeb, because Jeb
is not intending to hit you. You.
Yeah, you're all 21. You easily dodge the van I.
Want to like bone. I want to key bone the the enemy
van. Into.
The side of the building hitting it there so it can't get
anywhere, so it can't escape. With with potentially Ayona
inside. I mean, you know.
Yeah. So you, you, you skid out from
behind the building and head towards the van.
Meanwhile, inside the van. Pass, pass.
I I I there was someone souping outside.
I I I just grabbed them. I mean the van and.
Do I hear acceleration? And there's this smell of like,
sanitizer. While they're talking, Iona has
been pumping their sanitizer all through their hands and is
gently coating themselves in it over their cat suit.
So I can try and keep myself as slippery as possible and I'm
going to try and open the van door and slide out.
Right, This guy is still holding on to you.
If you want to get out from him, you're going to have to roll a
brawling check. Oh yeah, that's that's that's my
whole plan. We can take it step by step.
Yeah, but roll sanitization to see how good the sanitation
affects your ability to slide out to the arms of this guy.
Sure can do. Hell yeah, look at you rolling.
Hey. It rolls back sanitization when
I truly needed it most. When you truly, truly needed it
most. So inside the van, you have
dispensed sanitizer all over yourself.
You shift, and suddenly this guy's arms slide past it.
And you are. You're able to get out.
Great, I'm I'm I'm going straight from the door and
Slytherin my way out. She had.
She got out. And this is before Jeb Rams
into. Yep.
OK, so Iona jumps out the back of the van as you see Jeb careen
towards it. You see Jeb's eyes lit up with
passion and a huge grin on his face as he's put his foot down
to the metal roll it, driving check.
Van V Van it's. Like Mad Max.
Van. On there 3030 man on manic 30
you smash the van into the other van, crushing the net runner
against the inside of it. He gets pinned to the inside, it
smashes against the wall, crushing the window on the other
side, smashing it open. There's now way through if you
can get through the van and you hear a guy on the inside of the
building scream in surprise. I think we've been made, guys.
Yeah, it's less of a burglary now.
It's more of a hit and run so friends get in there.
Is the back door of the van that I slid out of still open?
Yes, I'm. Going to shoot this net runner
do it because they are pinned in the car and you don't get to
steal. Me.
Oh. Weird you've inflicted a
critical injury. But rolled.
No, you rolled fail. Wait, no, wait, wait.
The. Roll the crit failed, but the
dice the damage the. Dice.
Yeah, I. I turned it on the damage but I
failed. I failed the shot.
Damn you crit on a crit. Damn, that would.
Have been a good one. It's such a shame your first
bullet flies through the window of the van, blowing open the
windshield, and it shatters into a million pieces.
But you miss the guy. Oh.
Fuck. That was a warning shot.
Oh God, what? Are you doing here?
Well, you just shot me, so you don't.
Have to roll persuasion because of the crit damage but we're
stealing cyberwear. From dead people.
Well that's very messed up and you shouldn't kidnap people
either. I.
Mean we're not stealing a body. Well, close enough.
Who? Who do you work for?
We're just a A. Little gang, It was Synapse's
idea. Who's Synapse?
And out from the side of the building, a bunch of chains step
out. I am Synapse motherfucker.
And there's a guy standing behind the morgue holding a
giant mini gun, surrounded by three dudes.
Wait, so is Synapse. Encroaching on my job, Jim, What
the fuck? Hold on.
I mean, I think listen, to be honest with you.
Sorry. Hey Jeb, die here.
Did you smash into my fucking van?
Oh, well, that was before we, we thought that you were, you know,
encroaching upon our job much like you just said, But really
we're actually on to, you know, we can actually get through with
this, I think with mutual, you know, benefits.
So you y'all just go in there and you do your, your, you know,
stealing of the Cybertek stuff and we'll just take one body and
we'll get out of your hair. Jim, we were here first.
I think you better walk. We're going to steal some
cyberwear, kill the fucking doctor here, and then we're
fucking out. Oh no.
Don't need to kill Doctor Dave. What?
Was your name again? No witnesses.
You're lucky we're not going to kill you.
Now fuck off. What was your name again?
Synapse. Synapse amp Bummer 'cause you
can't, we can't. You can't kill Dave and.
Who's going to stop me? And I, I back and I'd get back
into the car. I was already in the car.
So I just you're in the day, reverse just.
Go for him. Wrong drive, turn to BB, quiet
job, in and out real easy. You know, I was really hoping to
put this new outfit to use. Oh well.
Can I use inspiration? Yes.
Great. You rolled a crit fail.
Oh, there it is. Good.
Can you roll me? Well, it actually depends on if
you can avoid it, I suppose. And all of his boys.
Yeah, you hit all of them. Yeah, Sam.
Well, they were all. Stacked like bowling pins.
Yeah. And you knocked them into this
sort of area of concrete behind the morgue as they're sprayed
out. You turned the van in such a way
that you can use it as cover. And Synapse takes this damage.
They all, they all take their their hits.
What the fuck, Jim? Yeah, I say you can't kill.
Leave. I'm sorry.
I'm going to go help Jeb. Let's go retro.
Here we go again. VV moves toward Vanna, White and
Jeb and into the action Pass. Iona, are you OK?
You just jump from a vehicle. Yes, I, I actually think that
I'm going to go back through the vehicle.
Don't tell them, but I'm going to, I'm going to come out the
other side. So I'm going to crawl through
the vehicle and through the I can't move my token anymore.
I'm going to crawl through the the back of the vehicle and
through the broken window and try to sneak out the back to
flank Synapse and the boys. Interesting.
So you're going to move through the van roll me athletics
because there is lots of sharp shrapnel etcetera.
Do you want to do anything to the net runner as you pass by
him? Nah.
I'll keep him. The van doesn't seem drivable.
So I'm going to leave. It's not 20.
Yes, you managed to climb your way through without cutting
yourself. You rolled high enough that
you're able to drip some of your sanitizer on one of the open
wounds on this net runner, and it stings a little bit.
This is why I like being behind a desk.
And as you climb through, you can see these tombs here in this
back alley kind of gather themselves a little bit and
stand up. Motherfucker, this was meant to
just be an easy in and out fuck. Same for us buddy, but you had
to make it complicated. I told you, you can't kill Dave.
Roll for initiative folks. Welcome to dungeons and
randomness. Since 2012, myself and an
amazing cast of 18 have been telling stories in our home brew
world of Theria. Four different groups explore
lost ruins, run for political office, Rage Against a mad king,
set sail to long forgotten islands, and so much more.
Every group has a different story and flavor, and every
season or ark has a new set of groups and stories all building
the history of our world with every single session.
Literally hundreds of hours of stories are waiting for you as
part of the Pick X network. Check out Dungeons and
Randomness wherever you get your podcasts and we'll see you
around the table. Phoebe, you are first to act.
Yes, I am. I'm gonna fire.
I'm gonna shoot at the first gonk that I see and pull out my
San Rue. Hello cutie.
Ultra K8 assault pistol. Nice.
And switch it. To the.
Auto fire? Really.
Yes. And I'm gonna fire away.
Oh yeah. Right.
Yes, good. Why is that so high on DVS?
The. DV is higher on auto fire
because it's harder to aim. Yes, absolutely.
It's it's kind of as a heavy SMG when it's in auto fire mode
that's why. OK, yeah, because the auto those
numbers feel mean, but OK, well. That's yeah, you have to hit 17
on auto fire. Yeah.
But you hit 18 which means you get times 2 damage which is
great. So VV you fire a barrage of
bullets. Oh.
Yeah, and they rattle off through this guy causing 8
damage at close range. That sounds like it hurt.
Yes. Ow.
Fuck. And that's all.
Do you do anything else with this moment?
You know, I'm pretty exposed. So I'm going to like move toward
Vanna White and use Vanna White as a bit of some cover, like
lean up against the vehicle. Anyone who can directly see you
can shoot you. But now that you're behind
cover, Synapse and one of the other gang members can't get a
good shot on you. Nice, cool.
Well, I got two options here. I can keep using my my big old
van as a weapon, or I can lean out in the window and shoot this
poor, poor man that thinks that he can kill my friend's former
employer so we're going to shoot him.
Now if I could just Scroll down and you.
Don't want to commit vehicular manslaughter?
No vehicular manslaughter be too easy.
Too easy. So I'm going to lean out the
window of Vanna Wyatt, take out Grand Pappy's twin Colt 40
fives, and I'm going to take two shots at Sinister Sin.
Synapse. Synapse.
That's his name. You don't know Mike.
And as he's saying that, two more bullets fire out towards
him. You roll a 23 and a 25 and you
watch him look at you as the bullets fly and you see him
attempt to dodge. He can certainly attempt.
The first bullet hits him, the second one flies.
Robi, Oh. Quick one, aren't we?
You fucker and. He takes, he takes a little
damage. Ow, you hit me with a bullet.
How rude. Yeah.
Are you OK? You seem like upset.
I don't like it when people encroach on my job.
Dick. OK.
All right. And you're still in the van.
Do you want to change that? No.
Cool, Iona, you're inside the morgue.
Sure am. I am going to just like I had
planned. I'm going to run to the back
door that I know is here because I have been in here before and
I'm going to surprise motherfuckers.
I can't. I can't move them.
But I'm I'm coming through that door and I'm shooting.
Right. You come out the back door now
behind a bunch of gangers. Do you?
Are you shooting? Are you throwing a grenade?
What are you doing? Do I have a grenade?
Let's check. I don't.
I believe you got a smoke grenade at the chop shop because
I just listened to that. Episode I just, I I didn't put,
I didn't put one. I did put it in my inventory
though. Yeah, sure, I will throw a smoke
grenade. Sure.
I've never I don't know how to
use grenades. How do I use grenades?
Never mind. I don't know how to use it.
I'm going to shoot them. I'm.
Going to shoot them Ayona, you pull out this grenade and you
look at it and you're like I don't how does do I put the pin
or. That, but I've never I've never
heard you do anything more Jeb. And you and you pull your your
gun out instead as you put the grenade back and you shoot,
assuming the guy who's closest to you.
I am going to use the R.E.M. Ware IP edition handgun and
following Vivi's SMG lead I'm also going to turn mine to auto
fire. Oh shit.
I'm going to spray and pray. You ain't messing around
tonight. Oh.
Not that one, that one. That was just to scale them.
Your bullets fly past the back of this guy.
It is a surprise attack, so you do get wait.
Plus 3 + 4. Well, The thing is Jade is you
have to remember earlier in the last episode I gave a different
character +4 for attacking you from the back.
So true. So to be fair it to be a fair
GM, I have to give you the same bonus, correct?
Yeah, get freaking get modified punch.
Well, the the the mentality of anything the players can do that
the enemies can do and vice versa, right?
Yeah. Right, well then you get maximum
modifier which is times 3 there. You go.
On that gun it's times 3 because it says it right there 5 * 3 and
so you get 4. Just 12. 12 damage to this guy,
that's a lot of damage. Well good, have have another.
And this guy falls below half health.
The one of the bullets goes straight through his elbow and
his arm turns backwards. Damn fuck Oh boss, these guys
can shoot. Barely.
Nobody hurts my boss. I'm.
Going to duck back into the. Fucking when we hurts my boss.
Nobody hurts my boss. Says Vendel.
Vendel is going to climb onto the on top of Vanna White and
take a running leap at Synapse. Of course they are, all right,
Vendel has to roll athletics to jump off the top of Vanna White
and the other van or their cyber leg.
Up to you, Sure. Sure, sure, sure, sure, sure.
Where we at? No, I don't like that.
OK, Aya. Aya.
Power Leg 23. Yes, do a cool flip skate off
the top and do a little grind on one of the sides of Banner White
Jeb, you're mildly concerned, but they're rolled high enough
not to cause any scuffing. Landing on the other side right
in front of Synapse. What do they do to attack?
Are they kicking? Are they slicing?
Are they punching? What's?
Happening. Oh yeah, I was, I was planning
on doing like a a straight face kick jump off of Vandal with
Vandal. White roller blade foot directly
into Synapse's face. Nice, right, Rob Rolling.
Rolling, rolling. Pendel gets a bonus to brawling
because there are so long. More like brawling in my MRA. 22
That is excellent, excellent work.
Synapse tries to dodge. Sidesteps it.
Vendel roll high enough that they don't fall over anything,
they just smack into the ground where Synapse was and the
concrete below where they step cracks in a really cool way and
it intimidates the other crew as they all instinctively take a
step back. Oh fuck.
And it's a melee attack, so Bendel gets to attack again.
Oh yeah. Get.
Fucking get.
Fucking power late 28. No, Jesus, damn that.
Bendel is protected. Wow you're old.
Really bad on damage dude actually wow.
Then Del kicks Synapse really hard and they get pushed back
even further. Yeah, that's right.
Take that. You think that hurt?
Didn't look like it hurt but my flip was really cool so I
honestly don't care. One of the It's the end of that
interaction. One of the gangers pulls out his
gun and starts to shoot. Oh mate, oh mate, that is a crit
success at 30. Jesus Christ Ward.
At least it wasn't on the. Band and they and they shoot
Vendel, which sucks. Vendel has a reflex of overrate,
so they have to roll evasion we. Can get above that 30 evasion.
Well, they have to roll a crit. Evasion please crit.
Nope. Please create.
Vendel's armor gets a bladed by 1 and that's it.
Oh and they take one down. Fuck.
The zealot looks at his gun. Fuck we need better hardware
boss. One of the other gangers, the
one who's been shot the most, now can't use like A2 handed
weapon because one of his arms has gone all floppy.
But all the same, he takes a shot at Jeb through the window.
Yeah, Jake. Oh Jeb, you are you.
You get a -, 1 to evasion because you are sitting in a
vehicle, but you have to roll over 28.
Well, you know, I've dealt with worse, but I still can't find
where. Fighting.
Fighting, there it is. She has.
Fighting, it's fighting. There it is.
Oh no, no, I'm sorry. You get hit.
You get hit for 12 damage with your crit fail.
Not only is there a bullet hole through the windscreen of Anna
White, it also shatters into a million pieces.
You're going to have to get it replaced.
Oh, right in the eyeball. Right in the Oh, geez, oh, it's
going to be too tough. Oh, there, someone's gonna ever
take this out of my eyeball? V You're you're standing right
next to Jeb and the windows open and part of the glass flies past
you. You don't get hurt, but you see
Jeb get really cut up. There's lots of cuts all over
his face. Oh, Jeb, that that's looking
pretty bad, Retro. You see this carnage and you
decide to take action. Yeah, I'm going to pull out an
old chestnut we haven't used in a very, very long time.
Oh God. Retro's going to climb back into
the van. Retro's going to get in the
turret and operate the machine gun we have up there.
OK, that's genius. I'd completely forgotten about
that thing. As the turret raises up, going
to spin it directly towards Synapse.
I didn't realize we were having a Dick measuring contest.
Mine's always bigger and I shoot him.
The old diamond machine gun. Can I auto fire it because I'm
it's a machine gun? It has auto fire yes, but if
you're all crit fail it's out of action for a full time.
Got it. You put your hands on either
side of this mini gun, you point it at Synapse and you pull the
trigger. Damn.
Damn boy bullets RIP past Vendel as they fill this guy you
rolled. What is the what is the auto
fire of this gun? Four shit you did 19 damage.
Bullets fly out and they fill Synapse as he gets fairly badly
hit. Now, these are very big bullets.
They are mostly made out of diamond.
And so their armor piercing synapse starts to bleed
everywhere. Just bleed everywhere.
They go under half health. Phoebe, you hear the distinctive
noise of a spine cracking and he just falls.
And he's now sitting on the ground holding his mini gun.
Now the thing about that is he can probably still fire it from
the seated position, but he cannot move.
Yeah, he's, he's not getting back up properly.
Breaking backs out here. It is however his turn and he
turns to you now on the ground, covered in blood, his body at an
oblique angle as you can hear his spine crack and move as the
sinews try and reattach to each other in vain.
Fuck. And he pulls the mini gun
towards you. He points it at you in the tower
on the top of Vanna White. He pulls the trigger.
Oh. My God, it's getting crazy, you
guys. Now I will say retro, you are in
a little piece of armour, as it were.
So you may roll evasion, but you have to roll over 19, so I'd
recommend using luck. I will use three points of luck.
No fucking way. Oh, thank God.
I'm just gonna, I'm just gonna pull a full Shaggy and just go
road and dive back down. So you dive back into the van,
the bullets miss you, but Synapse pulls the gun down to
follow you in and it just fills the side of Anna White with
bullets. Just an absolute Dick load and
the the actual damage that you would have taken is now taken by
the vehicle you're sitting in and it takes the full brand of
that damage. 26 Now Jeb, I need you to roll evasion purely for
narrative purposes. OK Jeb, you are really happy
after the bullet stopped firing to not hear the hiss of a tire?
Oh jeez. Well, you know, my my eyesight
might be partially gone, but my my hearing is great and I don't
hear no problems with them tires.
Those brand new white wall delicious tires fire.
The the sexy ones. Hey don't we just got those
tires replaced. Can you not shoot our van?
Yeah. They're nice.
Fuck you. Oh contraire Mister man, but
fuck you. Almond Prayer.
Avoid a 15. All right.
Nice bullet, flies right through the van, through the now broken
window on the other side and flies off into the distance,
narrowly missing you as you tilt your head in a cool way.
Fuck. Wow, that was that was really
good. Oh yeah, I don't need depth from
having to see pointing a gun at me.
I'll shoot at the one that just shot it, Jeb, because they're
closer to me. Cool.
Fire away. Oh.
Oh all. Right.
They don't have an evasion of over of over 8, so they can't
dodge bullets. You you walk up to this guy, you
pull out your gun, you fire this thing and it just blasts right
into him causing Oh, you did auto fire.
I did. Oh dear, Oh dear, Oh dear.
Well, you see, it's a crit. You created an auto fire, Tracy.
Oh God, I'm going to annihilate this.
You're just going to kill this guy because I know normally auto
fire has a maximum, but you rolled a crit so I'm going to
say for this it doesn't and you rolled.
So for real, it's 17 to hit this guy.
You're old 30, which means it's times 13.
Oh my God. Just just just for fun.
That's plus 4I mean that's. 52 damage.
You hit a piece of cyberwear on this guy.
It fries his whole body, ignites in flames and he starts running.
What? The fuck?
And then something on the side of his neck, another piece of
cyberware explodes, and he just stops dead on fire and falls to
the ground dead. Bebe looks a little shocked at
what she just did. Did you see that, Jeff?
Honestly, only half. OK, good.
Well, I'm just trying to catch up to the whole body count
thing, so you know. Oh yeah, I'll count that.
Absolutely. What do you know?
Like 8? Hell yeah.
Also, holy shit yeah. OK, well that's my turn.
I gave it a 6.5 out of 10 on the creative scale.
You're blind, retro. That was like a nine.
Fuck. Oh, shit.
What I miss. I was, I was.
I was trying to take this piece of glass out my eyeball.
Geez. OK.
I'll fix that later. I appreciate that now now y'all
at home listening Might think that me spoon is doing a bit but
I literally cannot remember the name of this guy.
So ventriloquist man. What's vin?
Vinny's. Synapse.
Synapse syndrome over here.
My name is Synapse, motherfucker.
All right. That that that goes to the
party. We do that a lot.
All right, hold, just stand still so I can shoot you easier
and then I shoot him you. Ain't got just saying this to a
man who can't stand currently. Yeah, great.
Now you're doing. You're doing great.
Hitting him with a 26, he can't move, so he gets a -, 2 to his
evasion role right here, but he still gets one because he does
have a high reflex. No, not good enough.
Nope, Nope. You you hit him with both of
those bullets, causing nine and six damage respectively.
The first bullet blows off a piece of his armor and you
notice he doesn't really take a lot of damage from that, but the
other bullet really, really does cause a decent amount of damage
and you can see him start to bleed all over the ground.
Oh fuck, I thought it was maybe my big break but this might be
my end guys. That's the end of Jeb's term,
Iona, you're still inside the morgue.
Sure. Am.
They sound like they've got it handled out there?
Yeah. Or is everyone still screaming?
Everyone, there's a lot of screaming.
You just saw a through the corner of the door and you saw a
Man on Fire like run into your view, scream and then die.
And then you heard VB go oh shit, essentially.
Yeah, well, through the the window on this door, I can still
see there are people standing. So I'm going to do it again, but
better step out the door and fire away.
Take that. That 20 Are you shooting the
person closest to you? You.
Sure, I'm there it is. That's auto fire you guys,
that's. You.
Guys, we just it's like we just found out about auto fire today.
It's. Like it does cost 1010 ammo
every time you do it so you are getting low, so make sure you're
deducting the auto fire Tracy and VV the am I after that yes
good call. You will have to refill that
good call, but that's still that's still that's still very
high and you didn't roll a crit. So you get times 3 damage on
that attack that causes 21 damage to this guy.
He he turns to you as he hears the the gun cock and as the
bullets fly out towards him. His eyes go wide as several of
them go through his mouth as he starts to try and say something.
Unfortunately, it is not enough and he dies right there standing
as part of his head gets blown out the back.
Yeah, eat lead idiot. And Iona, there's this really
cool moment where you pull the gun to your face, you blow the
smoke off the top. Wow, that was really cool.
Should I? Thank you.
Should I slice this guy in the face?
Oh, yeah, absolutely. OK, hey, back in.
But you, you do that syndrome Cicadia.
I can't, yeah, I can't do. I don't know, man.
It it honestly doesn't really matter.
You're not going to come back because you're about to be dead.
Hey. Yeah.
Oh fuck I. Remember now, it was syndrome.
It's not it. I don't think it's any of those,
man. I'm I'm really sorry, guy.
I'm really sorry. And Vendel grabs this guy's big
wig. He's got this big green wig.
He he looks up at Vendel. No.
And Vendel slices across their neck, execution style.
Blood spatters out across the concrete as more blood spurts
out of his neck and he you, you see Synapse buckle over even
more on his knees. He drops his big mini gun and he
looks up at Vendel and Synapse reaches into his jacket and
pulls out a little stick with a button on it.
Fuck. And he pushes the button.
You hear a beeping. Oh oh fuck.
Run. Run.
Vendel has to roll evasion. Oh yeah, yeah.
Oh, no luck you got. Vendel has two luck all
together, so they're going to use.
Cool, do it. Oh did I scroll past it?
I did so 18. So 18 Synapse explodes, his body
explodes, blood goes everywhere, covers the side of the van and
this last ganger is standing at the back of this lot and he just
drops his gun and puts his hand up.
I. Didn't know he was going to do
that. Now hold on, were you were you
going to kill Dave? If if my boss said so, but now
no. Yeah, it seems as if your boss
was recalled by Willy Wonka. Well, he's a piece.
I, I, oh, oh, there's a piece of him on me.
Oh, can I just take our net runner and go I?
Don't know, what do you guys think?
For everyone who wants to let him go with the net runner, say
aye. Oh.
Bummer dude. Oh, I voted too late.
Whoa. Jeff.
Jeff.
Jeff, Jeff, Jeff.
We, we voted. We did vote.
However, may I make another suggestion?
We, we're planning on doing this quietly.
Obviously it's not so. No, you're right.
I'm sorry. I'm sorry.
VV, did you want to take this one to, you know, up the count?
No, not what I meant. Oh.
That's all you're going to say? OK, sorry.
Go ahead. We need somebody else for them
to go searching for instead of us.
Now they make the break, they we leave evidence that they did it.
We're off the hook. I.
Mean you could you could blame him because.
He's not bad. Thing went wrong, they back.
They backstabbed their boss, blew him up, ran away.
Yeah. I didn't know my boss was going
to explode. That's new.
This is like the 4th gang I've been in.
I'm worried to ask what happened with the others.
Well, the first two fell apart because, you know, scheduling.
Yeah, just trying. It's it's like ELF online down
here. So anyways, you better get your
friend because I'm you guessing you got 20 seconds before it
clicks in Jeb's brain and he doesn't anyways, OK.
James True. Oh.
My God, James is OK and he's. Pulling this guy out of the van.
James. No.
Before you leave, MP all your pockets.
Fuck, really? All of it.
Duke Chimp, just between you and me, can I keep my shitty gun
that you don't actually want? It's just a piece of shit.
Sure, they'll take all the bullets out of it first.
Thank God damn it can I just can I have at least like a magazine
use? Your words.
May I please have a magazine? No, I mean literally use your
words. You're at 10-9.
Hey Jeb, don't get that look in your eye.
He he unpulls the clip from his gun and he looks at you.
Roll Persuasion. Wait, do I think he's actually
going to try to shoot me? You'd have to roll human
perception to guess that. I'd like to do that then, right?
Interception. Here we are. 14 You feel the
coward energy from this guy. This guy genuinely just wants to
leave and live. Coward energy?
I don't know. OK.
I can keep the clip. Or.
Yeah. Oh.
He puts the clip back in. Thanks Jim, but but here.
And he pulls like a handful of cash from his pocket.
It's like 92 eddies. Yeah, that's all I got.
Everything I need, I need your, I need the wallet, your ID, all
that stuff. Come on.
Fuck. And he pulls out this folded
piece of paper with a Eddie card on it and a fake ID that is not
his. Thank you.
The Eddie card has two eddies on it.
It is useless. Yeah.
This is all Come on, James, go. And he drags James out of here,
carrying him out of here, and combat is over all.
Right, I want to loot the other bodies.
All right. Romy Everything on the guy with
the the guy who exploded is destroyed.
He has nothing. That chicks out.
What about the big gun? It is also destroyed because he
exploded. I want it though.
Sure. You get that.
I want as you're, as you're getting through, as you're like
going through the gun. You find 84 scrap in total.
It's a lot for one gun scrap. No, I want the gun.
I want the gun as a whole. Sorry, can I just have the gun
as a whole even though it's broken?
Yes, but it counts as 84 scrap. OK.
Yeah, after looting the rest of the guys you find 87 eddies.
And but I found other identification and stuff.
Yeah, you find fake IDs on everyone.
You guys were watching Retro just meticulously going through
each of these bodies. Help me.
Help me drag these bodies. Come on, guys, come on.
I'm gonna try to put all the bodies that are not exploded in
the van that got smashed into the side of the wall, OK?
The the two guys that were out here, you, you put them in the
van, their bodies are ruined. One of them was on fire, the
other one is full of bullets. They are.
Their cyberware is subpar at best.
You've salvage everything you can from them.
Oh, no, I just, I want to place them in there.
I want to, I'm going to put all their identification back in
their pockets. I'm going to stash the one that
I took off the other guy in the seats in the back of the other
one. So it seems as if that person
was here, but they're going to be the one that's missing and
then I'm going to. Oh, and the other thing you find
is the the green wig which. Blew off that guy.
That's a green wig. Can say that that's fine.
That's evidence. All right, everybody shoot the
front of the van. That guy's fan, not Van of
White. Vandel is up in the the mini
gun. With this.
You know what? Yeah, go ahead.
Just use the mini gun. Vandel's up in the the Mini Gun
17. Yeah, they fill the side of the
van full of bullets and it gets even more broken.
All right, So if anything it'll at least slow any pull NCPD
investigation, so it won't be immediately tracked back to us
are. You guys coming in or, or am I
looking at these bodies by myself?
Let me just go ahead and put Vander Wyatt back to park and
I'll meet you inside. Jeb goes to park the van And did
the rest of you go inside? Yeah.
Yes, all right, it. Was a, it was a, it was a pretty
interesting encounter, you know? Yeah.
I thought they were going to want a deal but I guess we only
dealt in LED. Well it well here we're dealing
with the dead. Rachel, you're, you're looking
OK, right? Yeah.
You didn't take all that severe damage from that attack.
Only Jeb was injured. Oh no, yeah, no, I groundhogged
the shit out of that. OK, All right.
I'll have to patch up Jeb. Thank you.
Jeb, your eyes looking Pretty Little funky.
Yeah, there's a there's a wedge of glass in my eyeball.
Yeah, you might. Should we just deal with that
real quick? Well, because I don't think you
should leave that there. That would be great.
Is this still recording? Yeah, really.
Why don't you, why don't you go ahead and deal with that?
Yes, Jeb, just hold still for a moment and I'm going to pull
that glass Shard out of your eye.
Oh. Oh, I can.
Oh, I feel it. I feel it in my eyeball moment.
Oh oh. It's weird because your eye
doesn't really hurt, right? It's just like that weird
pressure release. It's it's real weird and I don't
like it one, one time a little bit.
It's the it's the irritation around the eye, because the eye.
It's Jeff Roll. Resist torture drugs.
Oh, should have given him a little pain remedy.
Yeah. Bebe, as you're pulling this
piece of glass out, you've. You've known Jeb for a long
time, and you'll never get used to the sound and the look of his
skin healing. There's a bunch of tiny glass
cuts on his forehead. And as you're pulling out this
thing, you can see him sort of like, drink a little bit of his
blood that slips into his mouth, and the pieces of glass start to
push out of his forehead. It's not a comfortable
experience for Jeb, but you hear them clink and clank as they hit
the floor of the morgue, as they echo through this silent room.
Oh yeah, I can feel, oh, oh, it's like the Jelly of my eye is
like gooping out, opens down, sucking back in.
Man, that's so weird. I never, I'm going to get used
to that, even for me, a doctor. And and I never will either as a
lab experiment. And Jeb, because of your crit
success, you gain 5HP back. Well, Jeb's all good, everybody.
I'm. Good.
Let's look for the body that we want.
And in the distance, at the very back of the room, you can hear
coming towards the door the sound of hold music.
You can hear Doctor Dave on the other side.
How long am I going to be on hold?
This door's been locked. Wait, why is the door unlocked?
I didn't hear. Any of that shit outside a A a.
A A A girl from the Venema is very loud.
He's got a noise cancelling headphones.
Everybody pretend you're dead bodies.
Jeb just falls face first onto the ground.
Now Jeb on a Gurney. In a body bag retro, you jump
into a locker. Are are these tables?
Do these tables have space under them?
Yes. I I'm going to slide under this
one. Man to like Outlast, the creepy
horror game where you have to hide under the hospital beds and
you all hide in the morgue as the door to the South opens.
Nobody here but instead people. Next time on no latency.
There are two giant holes. It smells like expired Axe body
spray in here. The bodies, right, Right.
Vivi. Yes, they're where the dead
bodies go. Well, Doctor Dave has his back
turned. Go up behind Doctor Dave.
The what? Right Synapse.
Yeah, talk. Normally it.
Sure is. I'm just going to continue to
hold this down. Not broken window.
OK gang, throw him in a locker. I'm gonna kick him directly in
the genitals. Sorry, boss.
Yeah, that's good. This is really good.
This is as far as I got. Could some nobody helped?
Me, I don't know what I'm doing. Well, these would be the
freshest body. There's the one on the desk
that's right over here. Watermelon bubble gum drop.
Extra flesh. No, Jeb, you can't have the
skin. 2537 I. Don't know what a gallbladder is
It makes. Drinking harder?
It might make them a little faster.
You're right, I changed my vote. That one over there that smells
disgusting. I don't know what's going on in
that locker, but do not open it. Thank you for joining us on our
