Last time on no latency. Bunker up here and hold them
off. We should stay.
So start running. How do we know you just didn't
set it off and now you're just trying to rip us off now?
Sorry, sometimes he gets like this after a drink.
Clearly established. Those are very strong drinks.
Keep down the door. I drank them.
What are you doing suddenly? Who's your robot life?
He's certainly going to need proper medical attention.
He needs to be taken to a hospital.
Is it just us with with Mastik? All right, let's take Mr.
Mastik. Phoebe, you're too kind.
Can't believe that actually worked.
If only there was some sort of drug that would like erase the
last bit of the memory that he had, do we?
Yes, we do. Jeb, don't say anything.
Well I'm glad he didn't notice the box with the horror in it.
Are you dropping trout in the bar?
Right there. Oh shit, Jeb got branded.
Jeb, you need to stop being this cheeky.
Hello. Hi, Iona.
Oh good, I got you one. Anyway, I know you didn't
respond, but. To what?
Oh, did you text me? I'm sorry.
It's all right, busy, busy morning.
Weed shuts. These those new ones.
All right. Yeah, I I'm starting to dislike
the the shop down the street from me, so I'm going to one
closer to here. Cool.
So. So this is synth which shot
then? Or is this the reason?
Yeah, OK, Synth. Sure.
Have you seen anybody else? Well, jabs asleep in the corner.
Vandal, can you go get him? Yes, of course.
Hey dickhead, wake up. And then they'll punches you
lightly, doesn't it? Oh, look up, look up.
What was that for? Drink this.
Take your nap. Drink this What?
The Hell's this looks like? Synth Week.
Oh, all right. You knock it back, roll, resist,
torture drugs. Oh. 15 yes, you're fine.
You just your nose tingles. Oh, it's like a oh, wow, oh, you
really feel it. There's a bit of a kick on the
back. Yeah, it's really good at
clearing the sinuses. Yeah.
Good morning, everyone. BD Here's a wheat shot.
Oh, wheat shots. Did you say weed shots?
No wheat as in. Cool.
All right, All right. I thought, I thought we'd start
getting the, you know, listening to start listening to some Bob
Marley in here. But I, I suppose that's later.
Yes, it it's 10:00 in the morning, so.
Wake and bake, that's what they say.
Apparently. But it's, it's OK, Phoebe, it's
not weed. It's not weed shot.
It's a wheat. Shot good, good, because I am
not in the mood for any substances this morning.
Just something, you know, nutritious.
Are you are you? Are you?
Are you a weeder? I like less.
Retro. I unfortunately have the bad
habit of nicotine, but not. What is THCTHCI?
Don't know. If it's fucking no Tracy, Tracy
doesn't even do me. Not THC.
If you are going to smoke in here, will you will you just
smoke just underneath that vent for me?
Thanks. Yes, no, that's all right.
I I do not need a cigarette right now.
OK, just the sweet shot. We seem a little down in the
dumps this morning. I, I I'm fine.
It's early. We were up till just one.
Oh. Are you a morning person, Iona?
I oh, I am a morning person. You don't say I'm so
disappointed. It's.
A disappointment to a lot of. People don't.
Give give this TV header weed shot.
Oh, weed shot. Yeah, great.
I'd love the weed right back. Weed shot and.
Then immediately, right as they take the shot and they've
ingested it, Retro's face starts to glitch and you just see the
Mr. Icky sticker pop up over the face.
Oh God these weed shots are getting worse and worse.
No, no, retro. That's a wheat shot.
Wheat. Wheat.
Wheat is unlike the shit you
make bread with. Nutritional.
They made it drinkable now. Like I can have a drinkable
sandwich. Yeah, drinkable gluten.
It's great. I.
Mean that's just beer. Oh.
Man. You know.
We got to stop by a weed shop at some point.
I am completely out. I need to get.
I need to get some. I'm out.
I need some. Are there any other upkeep tasks
we need? Oh, oh, hello.
Yeah, Jim, you alright? Come on.
Yep, I got got the message. But if you want to just restate
it real quick for me, that'd be great.
That that person you crashed into, I fixed their car and they
said that that you lot were going to pay for it.
And when I talked to Ping, they said you were going to pay for
it. And then ping said that you
probably forget. We'll try and get out of the
payment. So just come down to come down
to my place and we'll we'll work something out.
I'm I if I'm honest I need some help.
Oh, OK. So it's one of them.
So. So we do a job for you and then
you kind of wipe the slate clean.
Who are we doing a job for? Tuna, OH.
Sorry, Go, go, go. Who's that?
In the background. Oh, that's Iona.
Oh, right, well, well, it's ILO. You all could come down if you
like. I've just made some tea.
Oh, apparently he's got tea. You want some tea, Iona?
Sure. Great, great.
You, you got a, you got, you're just like, that's black tea.
Yeah. I mean.
That's I've I've just got just simple tea.
Jeff OK, is it is it green, black, No herbal?
No, it's. Earl Grey.
No. It's Jeff Tea, Jeff.
Gelder's tea, well. So that's important.
Look, you owe me money and you're going to help me, so get
over it. Right, right.
Right. Yeah, yeah.
All right, crew. Oh, sorry.
See you soon. Love you.
Bye, I crew. It sounds like, well, I know
what I'm doing. And that is paying back my debt
to Tuna. Because we did, we collectively
as a group did crash into some poor person's car and we got a
oh. That sky chick that that took a
pint of Viona's blood. Oh, right.
Why is it always we whenever you're behind the wheel?
Well, I, we're it this, it's a group effort.
And you know, we, we're a, we're a bit of a, a family.
It's a group you. Know it's a family on that.
What? Yeah.
Sorry, I'm I'm, I'm just cranky. We're like, we're like a, we're
like a collective, you know, we, we share, I mean, we share each
other's feelings. Thoughts.
And thoughts. And I fucked it up.
I thought that you were going to say thoughts at the same time.
I thought you were like, I thought it was like we finished
each other's. Sandwiches.
That's what I was going to say. Yeah, yeah.
Should we? I mean, we could all go
together. I think, I think we should all
go. I was just saying that I
definitely have to go. Yeah, that's, I mean, I don't
have much else going on today. Great.
I'll get Vanna White all up and running, you know, start the
car, get it all warmed up in there.
I mean, it is, it is kind of cold out there in the city, so
getting the heat started just make things so cool.
Thank you for the creature comforts, Jeb.
Yeah, of course. No problem.
Well, I'll meet you guys out the out of Vanna White.
Anyone that wants to come, just hop on in.
I'm leaving in any Texas watch. I'm leaving in 7 minutes.
OK. And.
He leaves did Jeb when he's out, he's.
Dogs. Is Jeb being weird?
Is is is Jeb? What's up with Jeb today?
I just woke up. I'm sure that it's it's hasn't
fully combobulated yet. I see.
I just think it's the wheat shot.
Possibly. I thought I was just Jeb being
Jeb. Well, fair enough.
Well. You guys want to go do this?
See this Tuna fellow. I like tuna.
Have you not met tuna? I don't think I have.
I think it may have been once I've.
Got to meet you. The name Tuna does ring a bell.
I've heard it, but I don't think I've been to Tuna's place, at
least so. That'll be new.
Let's go reintroduce Phoebe to Tuna.
I'm. Having such a sweet morning.
Everybody's being so nice. I'm going to lay down in Vanna
White. And you all get in Vanna White
and you drive off to Tuna. Tuna.
Job, you all right? Well, going to be a lot better
once we clear this debt of of ours.
I almost said mine, but it is a collective debt that we all
collectively are going to resolve.
Is that right? Yeah, yeah, That biotechnical
person was really pissed off. I did a really good job though.
You'd be happy to do anyway. So you owe me a bunch of money
for repairs. I know I said 2000 over the
phone, but it's been a few days. You didn't actually reply or
call me or tell me anything. So now it's like 4 grand.
I was kind of in the middle of a mission, like a thing we were
doing. That's funny, why does that
affect me? Mate, pay your debts.
I mean, I'm, I'm just saying that, all right, you know,
don't, don't worry about it. We'll take care of it.
Right, good. So some penis stole my
gyrocopter. Oh, all right, so you want us to
make you a new gyrocopter? No, I wanted to steal back the
one I already have. Oh, right.
OK, I retrofitted it so that for like a very brief period of
time, not very long, it can hover silently, put an extra set
of blades that spin the other way, and it negates the sound
wave. But it drains so much battery.
But it's fucking prim as shit. Sounds pretty cool.
It's very cool and those mother fuckers fucking stole it.
So if it's silent, how did is that why they were able to steal
it is because they just took off and he didn't even.
Know no, no, they stole it because they they, they, they
took it from my, from my driveway.
Right. And he didn't hear it because it
was silent. No, they drove off in a truck.
Oh, they did. One of them.
Yeah, some Maelstrom guy. Well.
He had. This big He had this big white
thing sticking off the side of his body.
Huh. And do you know where they're
holding this thing or are you? Is that part of the gig is to to
find it? Well, yeah, you just got to find
it. So it's some Maelstrom guy.
He's got a big white thing sticking off his body.
Had some other guy on him and they just put it on the back of
their truck and they drove off. And there there wasn't like you
didn't have a tracking device on it or nothing like that, no.
I haven't got around to it. Also, the tea's just over there.
Help yourself. I've got a samovar, just pour it
from the thing. Oh.
No, I appreciate that. Yeah.
My my my throat is. Really got sterilized paper cups
Iona for you Now. I know you don't talk to me very
often, but I do pay attention. I appreciate that, Tuna.
Thank you very much. Very welcome.
I'm I'm, you know, weirdly aggressive because mechanic, you
know, I actually like all of you.
You're very nice. All right, Vivi.
All right, so nice to see you again since we've met many times
before. How are you?
Hi, Tuna. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Good. It's good to see you.
See you again. Yeah.
Yeah, yeah. It's funny.
It's funny, you know, you know, I think it's really funny.
You know, our paths have crossed so much, did you know?
Right. I don't think you ever noticed.
I worked on some of your your ambulances.
Really. No, Yeah, yeah, we said hello
all the time. That's.
Do you remember when we shared lunch at in the cafeteria?
You know, do you remember? I feel like, yeah, it was a some
time ago. Wow.
Now that I'm thinking back. I I had the fish and made of
really funny jokes. My name's Tuna.
Yeah, it's very good. You know, I, I, I do.
I remember the tuna. Yeah.
Yeah, that's right, me fishing for compliments.
As funny as always, Tuna. Oh, VV, it's always good to see.
I love, I love pretend. I love the game we play where we
pretend we don't know each other.
Yeah. Y'all are best friends.
Well, you know, I worked on some of the vehicles that they did
like practice on in school and that.
So yeah. Wow.
Anyway, so that's the information I have.
Do you know anything about? Does that ring a bell, any of
you? So just to be clear, what we
got, what we, what we got to work off of here is stolen
Omnicop. Gyrocopter.
Gyrocopter stolen. Gyrocopter sometimes silent.
Stolen by a guy with a big white thing.
A Maelstrom guy with a big white thing.
Maelstrom guy, big white thing, adopter stolen sometimes quiet.
All right, Well, I think we got everything that we need, so I
I'm ready to go. Well, oh great if you need
anything else. Maybe a few more questions might
help us. That wasn't clear enough for
you? You know, maybe just a couple
more details, Jeb, that might be useful for us like I.
Suppose. I don't know where did you last
have the gyrocopter? Where was it stolen?
Any thoughts? Was it here?
Right where you're standing, yeah.
OK. And how long ago was this?
Few days ago. Few days ago.
And do you have any relations with Maelstrom like do you do?
They are. They, I mean, they're always
stealing. They're always stealing stupid
shit to pay for new augments and that.
You're just the unlucky one that had to lose a gyrocopter.
There's, there's a lot of expensive shit in my front lot,
you know, and it just breaks through the fucking gate.
I've got to get a new gate guy now.
I kind of feel like maybe you should lock those things.
How how often do you do you have things I.
Don't often have the gyrocopter here.
I would brought it here to do some work on it.
No, I was just overnight. Well, it doesn't because I
didn't have a battery and I didn't think anybody would take
it. But they put it on the back of a
truck and they fucked off with it.
Wow. That's.
Didn't have a. It couldn't move on its own if
they didn't have the truck. You see, That was kind of my
mentality. But so that means if we get this
gyrocopter. Yeah, I've got, I've got the.
Drive it. I've got the, I've got the
footage if you want. Do you want to see the?
Yeah, they're. All.
Right there may be a it. Gets out a little tablet, taps
away at it and opens up this video.
Retro and VV role perception. Oh, Retro is asleep in the back
of Anna White, remember? OK well then Retro isn't paying
attention. Fuck you VV role perception.
Fuck you VV role perception 16. The mass on the side of that
guy's body is a tea organ. A tea organ.
Oh oh shit, that's one of the one of the IRS organs.
Got it. IRS organs, yes.
Correct. Wait, what?
Yeah, what the hell is that thing, that big white thing come
coming out of that man? That looks like it is a tea
organ. It's a.
A tea. It it makes tea.
Is that what we're drinking? No.
No, no, don't you penis. I'm gonna get it all.
I'll be. Back No.
A tea organ is like a synthetic fake organ made by the IRS.
The IRS. The internal.
Service. No, no, no.
It's the internal repossession service.
Is it also a government entity with the same three letter
acronym? They.
Take music. Yeah, man, you're thinking Jeb.
You're thinking way back, like you're thinking like two, like
early 2000s here, like we're in 2045, Jeb.
Oh no, we're in 2048. 2048. You're you're back in 2045.
That was that's. When we first started this.
Podcast. But no, no, no, no.
See the IRS, they look sometimes when you need money, you sell an
organ and the IRS will take it and they will give you a tea
organ, a fake one. Yep, you know, and you just got
to pay your debt back. Sometimes if you need an organ,
they'll give you one as well, like a regular one.
You can buy from them and then the the organ that they put in
you like the ones in that video when you don't pay back, so they
take it back and replace it with a temporary one.
Tea Organ. Temporary tea.
For temporary. Yep, I see.
So they they do a few. Things like you can buy organs
from them directly, you can have a temporary one until you can
get payments, or you can start paying off an organ that they
install. But if you don't pay for it.
That's when the repo. Oh, I see.
And they repossess the organ. Can you give me?
I'm having a moment. What's wrong DD?
This is this, this the the gyrocopter the I need to get
retro. One moment and retro is like
just a. Retro, retro wake up.
Fuck. God.
You've got the table on your hands, you've got the freeze
frame of this guy. Just.
Retro, retro, you're gonna. Shake someone's Wait, what?
Ah. Look, just give me your
alertness for one moment, please.
Thank you. Everything tastes like bread.
Oh. My God, OK, remember the other
night, that outing we had with my pal Coyote and we were in the
organs and look at look at this, look at this really quick.
If it has anything to do with Chad anymore, I'm not I'm you
gotta work that out with Chad. I'm tired of this little
triangle. Look.
This new guy, remember him?
OK, so your buddy, your buddy. Tuna buddy.
Sorry, he's also my friend. I guess Tuna missing Tuna is
missing his gyrocopter. Do you remember the gyrocopter
that crashed the other night? Yeah.
I mean, it was getting, it was getting hauled by that truck.
I mean, are you saying that's the same gyrocopter?
That that Tuna has reported missing and wants us to find.
OK, so you're telling me that the Maelstrom guys ripped off
this gyrocopter and then immediately came and fucked with
us instead of going to drop off the gyrocopter?
Man, they are a terrible gang. They fucking suck.
There, there. There needs to be a change in
leadership. Somebody really is like, they
need an Iona of their own to like really kind of just like
get them in gear. That just seems totally.
A gang that cares nothing about that more than just getting
acquiring shit all. Right, I'm just gonna snap you
right there. You know, there are certain
politics when it comes to a gang, and a gang does have its
own economics. So let's come on, let's bring
into this project I'm a. Student of trauma team, do you
think that I know anything? I mean, we did find out that
Trauma Team is itself its own gang and ripping people off, but
yeah, sure, OK. God damn it, you just reminded
me that everything I know in my life is a lie.
So what you just said to me is probably a lie.
OK, but regardless, we. OK, let me.
Let me go talk with Tina. Hold on.
At least let me get back. All right.
Ferrari here some tea. Oh great, is THCT.
No, it's just regular fucking. Why is every It's just tea.
Why is everyone asking me if I've got fancy tea?
Do I look like a fancy tea motherfucker?
No, it's not really. That's actually quite nice when
I think. About it, not really tuna.
I mean, I'm appreciated that you even have tea, but have they?
Caught you up on my copter. Jeb owes me money, so I'm making
you all help me God. Damn it, Jeb.
Yeah, that we, I've, we VV and I have seen this copter before.
Oh, you have? Oh yeah, they tried running us
off the road and then slammed into a fire hydrant.
OK, we'll go. So.
We have a good place to start. Yes, we do.
Well, do you? Well, if you know the
intersection of the fire hydrant, you might be able to
like get a picture of the license plate and work out where
that motherfucker lives. If it wasn't a stolen vehicle.
Well, I mean, that's the only thing I've got in the footage.
Look and. He scrubs through the footage
and on the side of the of the truck, it says Maelstrom rocks.
Sounds like something I would do to a stolen car.
I got. No, Yeah, let me, let me think
here. Do you mind if I borrow your
computer real quick? Yeah, yeah, go ahead, Retro.
'S going to go over to the computer and they're going to go
ahead. To use it, he hasn't got a seat.
It's a standing desk. Yeah, don't need to roll
something to stand. No, just giving you some some
narrative information. Yeah, well, Retro's annoyed.
I don't understand too. It's not a good day for Retro.
I guess Retro is going to comb through all of the public video
cameras with that same image of that side on side of the van to
pinpoint where it's seen it the most, at the same time cross
referencing the police records on the most amount of reported
maelstrom crime. Great roll for it.
Let's see here here. We go 28 yes.
You pull up a map, you run a few programs on the garden, you
cross reference and stuff and it seems to have turned around one
specific corner which kind of leads to not a dead end, but
because the park is so big it would have to come out of that
corner a lot. So it's on the end of a street
and sort of a dodgy a part of Knight City.
What's the name of the street and what dodgy part of that city
is this? It's called old.
Well, close. Oh well, close.
Which part of the city is it in? On the cusp of the combat zone,
but they're fairly quiet and low run area.
OK, Santa burbs. It's kind of industrial park
area. There's about a bunch of empty
lots and abandoned buildings, but it's not quite combat zone E
yet. Is that zone C or zone E?
Zone C Well it. Doesn't matter.
We're not even going to the combat zone, we're going close
to the combat zone. We're going to the combat zone.
Well, kind of close to it. More like zone C Awfully cusp of
combat zone. Oh, that's fun.
Clock and load, motherfuckers. All right, let's do this thing.
So you, you know what this thing is then it sounds like retro.
You, you, you. You had to run in with it at
least. I mean, just cross referenced a
bunch of this. I don't kind of know what we're
going to see when we get there, but like we'll see.
By the way, when we're on the way back, can we like stop at a
head weed shop? Like I really need to get some
some weed. I'm I'm crashing here.
I need something to pick me up. It sounds like you should
probably lay off the weed if you're having withdrawals.
I'm not having withdrawals, it's just more of a steadier for me
so. That sounds like a problem.
Oh, I'm I'm sorry Iona, can I see your medical agree for it?
I point to VV. Iona does make a point that if
you do feel some sort of withdrawal, that does signify
addiction. However, you know there are
medicinal purposes for weed. So if you feel like it helps you
in, if you have like headaches or things like that, like you
know it it, it could. I'm having a headache from this
conversation. Let's just go.

Come. Discover a new world.
All right. Anyone see anything suspicious?
Roller driving Jack. Don't hit anybody, Jeb.
All right. As we're kind of just coasting
around the block here, anyone, I don't see anything suspicious.
You call it out like that right there.
That man is cooking a hot dog over a a fire in a trash can.
That's suspicious. That's pretty normal for the
combat zone. Oh, OK.
Well, that's suspicious. That's that's the car, ain't.
It Yeah, it looks a lot like the car even still has the damage
from when it crashed after getting out drove by Coyote.
All right, well, let's check it out there.
Jeb, where do you park the car? I park it kind of off to the
side probably around here or so I'd guess.
Yeah, just like around the corner.
So you know it's not in harm's way, but it's still accessible
at a moment's notice. Jeb, with your 26 driving check,
you're able to find a pretty nice little snug area beside
this little old construction yard.
Have you guys noticed that apparently the fact that I'm
good at driving means really what I'm good at is finding a
good parking? Spot we always roll for parking
at Night City. I really understand most of the
roles that I do are about finding a parking spot.
And then there was that when you failed, when you crashed into a
vehicle. And that's why we're here, Jeb.
It's true, yeah. And I'm just going to be honest,
like with the way parking is even in the past, like it's all
about lucky also, and it's extremely important.
Because if we, if we parked, you know, three or four miles down
the way, because that was the only available parking spot,
we'd be tired. Yes.
It's vitally important. Anyway, let's go check this.
Let's go check this truck out. Yes.
I'll follow Jeb. The door's just wide open,
there's nothing else around. There's no gate to this
construction yard. Hold on, let me do a perception
check real quick. I'm going straight to the truck.
I have no qualms. That's fine, I just want to see
if there is any security. Perception 12 You find no
security outside from the position you are in.
Such a great DM response you. Don't find anything important.
You rolled a 12, so you just very you rolled very mid and you
discover that there is a locked door to the garage and there's
another door to a sub building to the West.
OK, well, copter's not in here. Well, it might be in the garage.
Yeah. Oh, hold on a second.
Hey, Jeff, come with me for a second, will you?
Oh. You're not going to check out
the car. No, that's what I'm saying.
Let's go check this out. Oh yeah, absolutely.
I'm going to take a look around. Hey, Jeff, quick question.
Yeah, I know that your driving skills are, but how are your
vehicle skills? You're saying my mechanics, Yes.
If I were to fix a car, I would probably make it worse.
Can you fix this car? No, what you, you just asked me
I'd, I'd probably make it worse. I'd like to see your work.
Can you fix this car for me real quick?
Retro I I don't, I don't see what you're I'm I'm going to
break. Jeff, please just just for can
you just show me how this how it works?
I mean, I suppose I can give it a shot, but I don't think it's
going to go well. OK, just please I kind of want
to know. Roll for it.
That's genius. How 18 He changes the spark plug
perfectly. I mean, what I do know is that
this air this is this is a spark plug and looks like we're going
to need another one. Thankfully, thankfully I noticed
there was one just hanging out right over there, so they must
have known what they needed to do this.
Anyway, I this that's easy. I could just plug that in right
there, screw it, screw it in and then put the connector back in
there. There we go.
OK, cool. So then yeah, we could just
replace all the spark plugs then.
Real easy. Then I'd take a pick my tool
hand like in a wrench. You had to smash all the spark
plugs and and spot where they're.
At 00, geez. So now we can just take them all
out and then like that, right? I mean, you're the expert if if
that's what you think needs to be done, that's fine.
Let's just go find out what else is going on in there.
I am. Confused.
Jeb and Retro have disabled this vehicle and you head back over
to Iona and VV. Are we going to check the garage
or? Yeah, we got the, we got their
vehicle working in top perfect order right now.
Why would you do that? Being nice, Jeb showed me how to
change the spark plug. I mean, I'd I really figured you
would already know how to do that considering what we've been
through together in the past, but.
You know what, you can always learn from others.
Just because you think you know everything doesn't mean there's
not more room to learn. I suppose that's true you.
Could probably know a better way than I do how to do it.
I doubt it, but maybe. I mean, I just showed you how to
change all those spark plugs out in one spot.
I did. Yeah.
Well I I am confused. There's no need to be confused,
we just need to unlock this door.
Oh, this one here. Yeah.
All right, Jeb takes out his, his, his, his revolver and like
aims at at the door. It's a giant metal door.
Oh, OK. It's like a big like garage door
type thing. Big.
Garage door in front of you. OK.
Like A roll up door. Yeah, like A roll up door.
Is there a pad? There's not or something
outside, no. So it's it's really more of a
wall than a door at this point. From this side, yes, it is a bit
more of a wall than a door, but you recognize that it is a door,
but just. You go around the side, you're.
Going to run around the side Rob Perception.
I'll follow you. Oh, you view, you find that you
have stepped in animal excrement, retro crit fail on
perception and now you have poop on your shoe.
Jeb, Raw Perception 19. Oh Gee, it's or don't step on
the oh retro now you got Dukey all over your shoesies.
Oh. Man, I'm.
A. You say as you lean against the
wall and put your hand on a vent.
And it opens up a little bit, I imagine.
Yeah. Oh, well, looks like we got
ourselves a vent retro. And you know what that means.
Imagine sneak in time and Jeb kind of just like snakes himself
into the into the vent you're. Not going to help Retro with his
shitty shoe. No, retro's just going to kind
of accept life how it is and just go with.
And just tell what he is. Yeah, this is going to follow in
the vent. Oh, no, don't come in the vent.
No, stop. I dropped.
But you'll get out of here. You're just going.
To smell all high. God, why you?
You don't got to push me out, jeez.
Get your poopy shoes out of the out of the van I.
Wonder what they're doing in there?
I couldn't even imagine. Probably sneaking, something Jeb
does pretty regularly. Should should we distract?
Distract who? Well, if, if, if there's people
in the building and Jeb and Retro are are sneaking into a
vent, we could distract them. So do we get into the building?
Oh, hi, Retro. Where's Jeb?
Jeb. Kicked me out of the vent.
He found a vent and he just kicked me out of it.
Oh. OK, well, so when I come with
us. We're going to we, we should
just pincer attack. Yeah, sure.
OK. Right.
Yeah. Where?
Where are we going? Well this is locked so maybe
over here all. Right, I'll follow the leader.
And you head down towards the other side of the building where
there are two vending machines, 3 porta potties and a door with
a keypad next to it. What is in the vending machine?
Romy 3D ten You found 10 ammo, a hand sanitizer.
Canada. And a neon throwing dagger.
Oh Vendel, you probably would like this more than I would.
Neon throwing daggers. Oh, they're, they're 150.
That's so expensive. I love those things.
Well, I'm glad. So these daggers are special.
You can use it normally and it will shoot like a rate of fire
of two, but if you don't move you can throw through I'm.
Going to buy 3. Each packet it gives you a pack
of three and there are 150 eddies each.
OK. And are they all the same color
or? You can set the color before you
throw them. Oh, OK, yeah, I'm gonna buy
three and then I'm going to give two of the packets to Vendel and
go. Here's an early stocking stuffer
for you, Vendel. I own gifts.
I love gifts. Oh, gifts are wonderful.
Thanks Retro. It seems like you really wanted
it and I got a little extra money from.
Well then I'm going to spend 150 on this hand sanitizer for I own
it. Here you go, boss.
We're paying him forward. Yeah.
All right, I buy the 10 ammo. You hand it to GVI.
Was going to give it to Jeb. Oh, Jeb's not here.
Here GV. Oh, thank you.
Your it's your turn. You have to pay something
forward to retro. Is there anything else you can
check the? Other vending machine if you
want roll 3D10. Yeah, let me look.
So you find 2 expired egg sandwiches and another canister
of hand sanitizer in a packet of Gisner snaps.
I'll get the gisner snaps. Nice.
For retro. 15 eddies. Here you go, retro.
I know it's not weed, but it'll at least, you know, be a nice
little treat. And that's certainly a stomach
for Melia. Wow, this tastes much saltier
when you're not high. You said there were egg
sandwiches in there. Expired egg sandwiches there.
Were two egg sandwiches they're. Two expired egg sandwiches.
They are 10 eddies each. Can I fonzie them out?
True. What are you?
Are you trying to get those egg sandwiches?
Retro. Yeah, I'm hungry.
They're expired. You don't know that.
You know what? Basic text 32 you get 2 expired
egg expired. If you get sick later, don't
come crying to me. You can see the mould on one
side of both of the sandwiches. It's.
Cracking up and it just smells of sulfur.
It's. Fully horrible.
Yeah, OK. Not.
That you would know because you have no sense of smell.
I mean, I register there's a shit load of sulphur.
Yeah, Yeah. I'll just have one of these
later, OK? That, that smells, that smells
disgusting, Why? Why would you eat that?
That does not seem good for your stomach whining.
You're going to feel ill later. My body, my choice, where we are
to. All right, good luck.
OK. And retro you head over to the
door where the panel is. What do we say on the door?
You see that it has a console next to it and it's just on the
console it says locked. What's the what looks like to be
the opening mechanism? This keypad?
Describe it to me please. Yes, there's also a spot to put
in a a card as a key. It's just just standard Night
city lock. Nothing too.
Crazy. Hey y'all want to learn a cool
trick since I'm still in a somewhat positive mood.
Go ahead. Right, Retro's going to Retro's
going to pull out his wallet, which is also to him one of his
master tools and he's going to pull out an expired Eddie card.
Cool and he's going to he's all right here's the thing.
So this looks like to be more of a downgraded version on some of
the other key cards that we typically see in buildings.
This one's probably more than often.
It's going to be one of the ones that just kind of goes off of a
magnetic strip for the deal. Thing is that you can trick it
really good if you swipe it super quickly in multiple
fashions. It gets confused and it doesn't
necessarily know what to do. And you watch Retro take this
card and just slide it in and out in just sort of a very
specific way, and an error appears on screen, your 29
electronic security deck. So the door opens and make sure
you look into this room and they're sitting on the sofa
staring at you is a man who has seen your butt hole.
You. Me.
You. Two.
You motherfucker. Well.
You're the reason I had to pay extra money for that stupid
organ replacement. I mean, you know, I didn't
realize you'd be so mad that I fucked your mother, but we can
work it out. Right.
If you thought you were going to get away with anything at all in
this room conversation wise, you are running out of fuse.
OK, hold on, hold on, hold on. And I'm going to, I'm going to
pull out my card with my eddies on it.
Look, man, look here. How much do I owe you?
What I had to pay 750 and he's in late fees. 750 in late fees.
100 and 750, yeah. So I was.
I stole some shit. OK, look, how about this, how
about I give you 900, right? I'll pay for that.
And then the additional on top of, you know your pain and
suffering you've had to deal with.
Oh, OK. Yeah, I'm going to come over to,
I'm going to back. Let's let's let's do the
transfer. You got your stuff ready for
transfer. Yeah.
OK, let me get it set up here. Give give me all your your
information so I can go and do that.
He pulls out his tile and you can tap to trade money using
that. OK, it's been a minute.
I haven't had any. You want something to eat?
I got these egg sandwiches you want.
You want one. Roll Persuasion.
I'm going to put two points of luck in this. 20. +2 Luck. +2
luck, that's 22. I genuinely just rolled A2.
So he, without thinking, while he's looking at you distracting,
grabs the sandwich and shoves half of it in his mouth.
Well, and while he's distracted with that, I'd like to take my
K, my K hammer shotgun. Holy shit.
Crash him in the face with the side of it and then proceed to
then stick the barrel directly into his mouth.
Roll Brawling. Don't mess with the retro today.
Oh shit, shit. That's that's brawling if you
want to do that so. I never use it that much so.
2318 Not enough. You tackle him to the ground,
and as he's yakking up pieces of this sandwich, you shove a
shotgun into his mouth. You.
Tattoo maelstroms on the sofa like looking at your.
Fuck. Yeah, you guys can just sit
down, chill. If I see you move even your arm,
his head's going to disappear. So let's make a choice.
See how much you care about your buddy.
All right. Now, VB, Vendel and Iona, are
you doing anything from the doorway in this situation?
I'm kind of just watching at this point it it's amazing that
a switch was flipped so fast. Yes, I'm a little concerned.
Should we do something? I think.
We just let him cook. Let him cook.
Meanwhile, in this incredibly Ted situation, Jeb on his own in
a vent and Jeb, I need you to roll perception for me. 21 Yes,
you have discovered that there are two exits to this vent, one
fairly close to where you entered, and two ride at the
end. Are they exits or entrances?
Yes, they're vents. Well as as Jeb approaches the
closest entrance to to to the one that he entered.
Nice. He's going to, he's going to
peek up. He's going to peek the open up
the vent, just slide it and see what he can see inside.
Roll stealth 22. Yes, you're able to peek.
You can open that door and look, no one will see you.
OK, so looks like we've got kind of a giant room with some
vending machines and a couch and a little coffee table.
And what are these? What do they say?
They say maelstrom. Scaver.
Yes, you just got 3 maelstrom
dudes hanging around a table. They're playing cards.
Oh, all right, all right. Jim's gonna keep going, Gonna
keep going to the next to the next entrance and try to peek.
That one as well. All right, Ross, Stealth 18.
Yes, that is also enough for you to peek through the door.
All right, this other one, similar situation, except these
maelstroms are watching TV. One of them is working on a
vehicle of some description. Oh, is that right?
Oh, that's big. That's that's what we're looking
for, folks. Hey, friends.
Friends. Yeah.
Mm. Hmm, Jeb, I found it.
I found it, folks. I found it.
The whirly bird. Where?
Where is it? Where are you?
I'm in the vans and what you got to do is you got to go into the
van and then past the first entrance to the last entrance.
You know what, don't worry about it.
I'm just I think I could take them.
Hey, Jeb, quick question from you.
Scott in do you see any other doors that lead in?
Well, there's a big old garage door in the in the center of the
room, but there does seem to be a door on the southern wall.
Like a regular door. Like this regular door, you find
it any kind of domicile. Like a regular door with a door
handle and hinges. OK, that looks very similar to a
door that I'm looking at at the moment.
Well, here, here, here. Just peek through it real quick
and I'll see if it opens. I'll just call to the team if if
anyone of y'all lot want to go take a peek in the store so Jeff
can see. Where we're at, just like stick
a stick, like a like your hand through it real quick and do a
quick wave and then just like, you know, retract it real, real
quick. Whoa, whoa, whoa, buddy, that
did not say you could leave off of that couch.
Now you're. Talking to man.
You got a gun in our guy's face, man.
Oh, it seems like you're busy. Retro, retro.
I'm going to leave you. Do you think I I think I could
take these guys. I really do.
So listen for the fireworks. Next time on no latency.
Maybe you stop him. Shanked him and now I'm going to
wheel him back in. Oh what, you didn't think the
time that Retro spent with Sano didn't learn how to fight?
Where your worst nightmare? Oh, hi.
Hello. I'll get out of your hair, won't
have to put a bull in your. Head wrecked shotgun to the face
of the guy in front of me. Oh yeah, you didn't see us
waving from the doorway. Thanks for the cover, Iona.
I can't imagine y'all know how to fly that thing, do you?
I try. Well, isn't that a close one
now? Stop fighting us.
That's a rough one. I got to tell you.
That's a high DV to fix you up. So sorry buddy.
Period. That's it.
You sure I don't have the time? Bang.
Do you have any of the wipes? So I want you to put your
weapons down. Listen, we can do this all day.
Yeah. Are you going to give up now?
Where is Chad? Whoa, whoa.
You have no idea we're capable of.
Actually, I'm all on board for this plan.
Let's just blow this place up and just be done with it.
I know, why are there so many dudes here?
