The last time on no latency. Did somebody say the Pug Bowl?
Fuck yeah, I said. The Pug Bowl.
Yeah, the trauma. Cyrus my my favorite.
I think Vendel will be just fine.
We know a bunch of players now. How do you do this?
I'll give you a hand. I thought, I thought I could
just do it. Team tag, but with blunt objects
as your tagging mechanism. We're.
Talking about cocaine in the workplace here, people.
Which means they're playing Vendel first.
Wink. All right, let's roll for
bureaucracy. Welcome.
To the first match. Gonna be in the power jab power
down. Oh, that don't look too good.
That is a lot of blood. Oh.
I think I won money, you're son. Of a.
Bitch, what'd you do to check? I told you that was a lot of
blood, Jack. This.
Might be serious. What'd you do to check?
Oh shit. Boo,
this is bullshit. Oh my.
This is fucking. Is that is that a fatality?
Do they get points for that? No, they don't get points for
the fatality. I thought it was they always
have to send the medic on the field.
What's what's what's happening now?
They don't. Where's the medic?
What? Your trauma team isn't doing
anything. They normally do.
They always do. Yeah, get chat out there.
Is there a is there a medic? None of the Is there a drama
team? Can you guys help?
I'm a doctor, I can help. OK, great, because the trauma
team guys are refusing to help another team.
That's that's that's BM. That's BM that matters.
I mean, I understand competition.
I can help, I'm a doctor. OK, great.
Cool, will you will you sign this NDA saying that you won't
hurt him because you you're wearing all trauma team merch?
I thought. NDA, you know what I mean?
Just like a. I'm not gonna.
I I've sworn the Hippocratic Oath, I will help people in need
when they need it. And he's recording me saying it.
Good enough? Click.
Cool, That's legally binding here.
Great. If you he's just down there,
I'll let the door open. If you could just head into the
the he's sorry, chick. The the the referee is over
there. He'll explain the situation.
Yes, yes, I'll make my way over. Well, that's going to need some
reconstruction, I think I. Hello chick, I'm a doctor and
I'm here to help, just can you show me a point to me where it
hurts the most? Chick is unconscious.
The referee stands over them as the rest of the team gathers
behind them. You tried.
It was worth talking to Chick, but she is completely
unconscious. All right.
Oh, man, Do we have any stretchers?
We're going to have to get them off the field.
This is bad. They're going to do it.
They're going to be out for the rest of the They're going to be
out for the rest of the tournament.
I'm sorry. If you can if you can fix her up
before the next match, that would be great.
I mean, I think it's going to be some head trauma generally.
Generally, you shouldn't really get back into physical activity
after. I appreciate your medical
opinion, but. All right, A.
Patient's decision. All right, you know what?
All right, But all right, give me a moment.
Let me just grab a. The referee helps you with the
stretcher and you roll onto this stretcher.
Blood is now starting to dry on her face.
She doesn't look that bad, got a tiny bit of a black eye slowly
developing. They've just obviously fallen on
their face and you carry them out of here.
Where are you carrying them? Basically just off the field to
the sidelines. If there's just like an area for
players, that's just. Yeah.
Do you want to take them to the the room that they have?
Yeah, I'll take them to the room.
Locker room. Yeah, locker room.
Are y'all going to be like hovering over me while I'm
trying to do this? What's?
Going on chick cock a doodle Doo wake up.
All right, I just everybody please just stand a couple of
feet back. Thank you.
I need I need space. Let let her breathe.
And you close the door on them and they're staying all outside.
Now it's just you and chick in this room.
All right, it's just us, isn't it?
Just kidding. I'm not going to do anything
nefarious. Let's take a look.
I'm just going to quickly check the vitals, do a little
disinfecting where the blood is so that they grab a like a
alcohol pad and just clean them off a little bit.
Great. And give them a health hypo.
Cool is what is in the health hypo What what kind of is?
What is its designation? Is it just for healing?
Does it give them? Does it have like?
Just for healing. OK, Yeah.
All right, roll me. 2D6 Yeah, let me roll.
Pretty good, yeah, great. They're not have full health,
but they're definitely a little better that you.
You start to hear as you're cleaning her up, snoring.
Snoring, man, were they like out, out, Ha, that's yeah, yes.
How are you examining her? Are you examining her
physically? Are you using your scanner?
What is happening? I will use.
I'm going to do both. So I'm going to 1st scan her and
then when I hear the snoring, I'm just going to also examine
it and see the rest of their body.
Yeah. Cool, so you rolled A-15 on
paramedic? The thing you notice is she has
a fractured nose. It's not that bad.
It's going to leave a little bum but it wouldn't be that hard to
cosmetic with a good insurance plan.
The scanner revealed you beat it.
That was the DV subject. Is unconscious broken nose
mighty loss of blood the subject, but it contains
tranquilizer. I had a feeling when I heard the
spring second compound detected a high.
What is it? An upper and a downer?
Not a good combo. Oh shit, do.
Wake patient, administer adrenaline, be careful not to
cause their bunch to explode. Okay?
I would like to look and examine and see if I could see where if
there was a trank dart or something maybe.
Okay. Thrown at them in the match.
Sure, let. Me examine.
Yeah, go for it. That requires another word.
You can roll perception, or I suppose human perception.
Yeah, let's see. 22 yes, you find just the needle in their
heel stuck right in the tendon. Achilles, the Achilles heel.
We're getting Greek up in this bitch.
And the thing you know about it going there is it would take a
second to get into their system from that location because it's
so far from the heart. When they were hit, it wasn't
just as they fell, it was a few moments before that, likely
during the 2nd loop. OK, seems like there's some
sabotage going on here for the Roosters.
Oh man, Retro's not going to be happy when he hears this.
Do you attempt to wake up? Yes, I am going to.
Let's see see, let me look through.
I do think I have some adrenaline cool that I that are
are my smelling salts, but I will do the adrenaline and.
Joint. Nice roll so you don't fuck this
up. Yeah, let's see.
Don't fuck this up, OK? Do not fuck this up.
Medical tech 20 yes, you dab it. You dab, you do a dab.
You do a dab. That's right, you do a dab
excited that you like I know my medical stuff.
I'm so cool and great. And then you stab this this
rabbit in the shot in the in the the thigh EpiPen like item as it
injects adrenaline into her body and chick takes a huge, huge
deep breath and bolts upright. Roll Evasion.
Oh yeah, that's insighting. 16 OK, so now let's see 10 right as
as chick bolts upright, they go to swing at you, so
disorientated by this moment, and you dodge effortlessly and
they're about to hit you again and then lower their fist a bit.
You're not a combat zone player. No, I'm not a player.
I am just a bystander fan and I'm here to.
I was here to help because nobody else was available.
I just felt like. A cold sensation over my whole
body and I just tried to keep skating, yeah.
You had a bit of a rough go out there.
Oh, that's broken, isn't it? Yeah, yeah.
I look, I don't recommend you go back out there.
You do as you will, but I should probably inform you that I found
traces of tranquilizer in your blood system.
I also found traces of drugs, but you know you can.
This is I figured you know we're I'm of doctor patient
confidentiality. That's fine.
You do what you want in your free time, but I yeah, well, not
a great combo with tranquilizer. I don't do down as I, that's not
me, yeah. Well, somebody seemed to have
wanted to make you feel pretty shitty because I found a needle
in your shoe in your skate. All right, so.
I'm just telling you what I found.
I again don't recommend you go back out there, but you do as
you will. Other than my nose, do I have
anything broken? Is there anything else broken
besides the nose? No.
You have a bit of head trauma. But you know, glad everybody's
wearing helmets, safety ha ha. But other than that, no.
You, you should be OK. OK.
All right, well, next. Match is probably in what and
they look at. The clock on the wall. 10
minutes, yeah, and that one, but I'm in the third one.
I'm going to have some water and yeah.
I would I would try to take it easy.
All of your teammates are anxiously waiting outside.
They're outside cool. Yep, and.
They burst the door open and in the crowd behind them, including
retro cock a doodle doos. But down but we're not help.
Oh man, I took a beating. Do I look like shit?
You look. Beautiful Fuck yeah.
Hey Retro, can I talk to you for a SEC?
Yeah, sure. You go, chick, you go.
So did a little medical examination of chick, she's
going to be OK, just so you know, just a bloody nose and and
all that. But I did happen to find, well,
I found synth coke in her system.
But that's fine. You know, they're drugs, but I
mean. To be fair, I think, I think
everybody, yeah. Yeah, me.
'Cause Iona took mine, they took my coke.
Look, I know, I know it gets people going, especially, you
know, especially in roller Derby.
But I I also found a trank in their skates and yeah, they,
they were trained. Somebody trains them
deliberately. I think I misheard you.
Did you just say you found a trank in their skate?
Yeah, somebody tried to tranquilize them.
You found a trank in their skate.
Yes. I'm pleased retro don't take.
Retro is immediately going to find the first fan that is a
combat zone and tackle them. Retro.
Does anyone try and stop retro? Jesus Christ, Retro, what are
you doing? Not at all.
I'm not stopping, but I have. You know I'm going to watch, but
call me. Retro you try you go to attack
the 1st combat zone suit you see and you try and grab this guy
and as you pull he doesn't fucking move and you go at him.
You you like try and drag him and you try and pull and you're
getting really angry and everyone else is kind of
laughing at you and you don't really understand why but this
guy is not reacting he's just standing straight facing away
with you from you constantly not moving and you RIP his shirt off
and people start to really laugh at you.
And then VV you notice that Retro is fighting a mannequin.
Retro that's not even a person come back I'm.
Just going to keep stopping it, trying to just kick it.
All right. I need you to roll.
Can you roll evasion for me? Essentially this is a steel
mannequin and you just kicked it, so that might hurt you. 17
Yes, you go to kick it and miss, but the aglets is it aglets?
The the little things on the end of drawstrings.
Yes, yes. Yeah, the aglets on your shoe
clink across the bottom of the legs and you hear a hollow metal
noise. This is the moment when you
realize that you have been fighting a mannequin.
Retro. No.
Let him go, let him go. I'm going to slowly turn to
around to the crowd, sheepish for a second.
Of course they can't either. Their facial functions realizing
what has happened and immediately have a brain spark
and good look towards the rest of the coop and scream.
Combat zone trigger. Combat zone trig.
Go go, go.
Take them out. Take them out.
Right, sure. We don't even know if it is the
combat zone. This could be rigged from the
start. This could be somebody else.
We this, that's a that's a heavy accusation.
I mean, who else could have had the opportunity?
They're the ones. That were on the on the field,
unless you're saying one of those zebras did it.
Are you saying that the zebras did it?
No. But maybe somebody like on one
of the other teams did it before the game even started because
they want to sabotage in their in their skate like in their
anybody. Could have done that.
Yeah, I. Mean you.
You honestly, you know if you. If you.
If you want to do like an investigation, I mean, you're
convinced, I'll help you. Hi, everyone.
Yeah, I'm going to. Do an investigation and when we
find out hi. Fresh What are you doing here?
Watching? Don't worry about it, this is
some bullshit. This is bullshit so.
It's. Double elimination and besides,
I'll help you. Hi.
I've done already because someone should need it and you
guys. Came to the bug bowl.
I spent like half my money on the tickets.
Some guy. Outside he sold me tickets to
get Jim resignation for 1000 ready such a different.
Fresh what? Don't do that next time.
Oh. I know, I know, I.
Probably should have given. Him a tip like what, 500?
A tip 50% you. Sweet summer child.
Hi. Jen so.
Damn, that was crazy. That was a lot of blood, that
was. Bullshit, bullshit.
Retro retro, retro, retro. Listen to me.
Chick behind you just said that they're great and this fills you
with joy because Chick is fine. Except for a broken mouse, I
mean. I am excited.
That chick is fine, I just. Thought you'd have a reaction to
chick saying fuck yeah that kind of fuck I.
Mean I Oh yeah, no, I'm excited that but you can't you can't
think that I would not be mad then I just found someone just
fucking sabotaged our team and I'm going to get to the bottom
of this I will find who did this well.
There's 5 minutes till the next match.
Iona, you get a message on your tile from Vendel that just says
do I take drugs? Question, Luke.
I just replied yes. And then you get a meme of a
straw picking up snow. I show it.
Just show it to Remy. Remy, wait, do you get it?
Do you understand? Yeah, yeah, they're, they're
icing. They're icing themselves before
they go out, right? I just thought you would think
this was a funny Mimi. Oh, oh, OK, I get it, I get it.
They're blowing stuff. I get Where'd they get?
Where'd they get the the synth? I basically carry around the
pharmacy. Where did they get the Synco?
Oh. It was yours, not mine.
This was supposed to be. This was supposed.
To be the best day ever. My one tickets to the pug bowl.
My team was going to win and now I'm hearing another team
cheated. Almost took out our our star
player rabbit and and I can't even do anything about it and
and now my synth coke is gone. This is the worst your.
Synth coke was gone a while ago. But listen, Ronnie is there what
what can I do to make your day better?
Because I know you were very excited about this and I know
your team is going to lose and I'm very sorry for that.
So what can I do for you? And it's.
In this little moment as Retro starts to grumble at your little
stab there Iona that you hear over the the tanoi in this space
the next. Match will start in five.
Minutes. Yes, your best is only four
minutes to match. Who?
Is. In.
The next match, Biotechnica versus Roma TV.
Oh boy, here we go. So 2 All right, so two other
loser teams. I don't need to pay attention.
Yeah. What are the?
What are the odds on this? Trauma team favorite to win.
Yeah. Well it looks like Biotechnic is
at 2 point O and Trauma team's at 1.5.
I've I heard our team's not been doing very well lately, but
they've got new players. So that's that's Vendel's on the
team. What cool, they're blocking
right? Because of all the hard ass
stuff. No, there's a rabbit.
Oh fuck. Is there something wrong with
that? Well, I don't know if you
noticed, but rabbits get hurt a lot.
Well, have you seen Glendale? Glendale can take a hit.
Wow, Glendale's got robot legs. That's fair.
No, no, just. 1. Yeah, I feel more supported as
well. That's nice.
Good you should I here to serve you, I suppose.
I don't know why I said that fresh first.
Forget I said that. I'm your boss.
Are you all right? I don't know, I'm just in a very
giving mood today. Did somebody try to meet?
Yeah, what about that did you? Have some of that synth coat.
No God or wait. Did you take any MDMA?
Why would I take MDMA you guys have?
MDMA. Whoa, I mean.
I don't know what that is. I mean, I'm just saying you are
more friendly today than normal. Well.
If it if it makes a difference, I'm very, very worried about
Fendel and if we don't win this match, I don't know what is
going to happen. And so I'm trying to take care
of my people. Look.
I'm with you. I am torn because I also care
for Vendel as a member of the team, but do not put my love for
the El Dorado boosters above anything else.
I'm sorry, I already apologized. I think I've made my point.
All right, Fresh let's, we're going to go find it, but OK.
Do you want to do a bit for the OH?
Yes, yes, we fresh. Will you put in?
Let me check my to you.
No, I'm good. I don't bet on losers.
That's what you sound like, Remy I.
Mean that was pretty close, yeah.
Thank you. Will you you just?
Found out other people had a cheat to beat my.
Team, that's what you sound like.
There's the Iona we know and to tolerate.
I really. Want Trauma team to win?
Are you going to bet on trauma team?
No, I'm not going to get it. Then send dental.
No, you know what I am, I'm going to I'm going to put money
in both and so either way I'll win.
But all right, I don't want to see anything bad after the
Vendel. Just just keep an eye on the
field because if somebody is sabotaging the Roosters, there's
a chance that they could also be sabotaging one of these other
teams. So let's just keep an eye out
everybody and you're. Saying this as you put your
betting chip into the vending machine and you look at the
screen and you have 450 eddies because you won money on the
last match. Motive The.
Pen just exploded on my hand, all right.
Double motive it gets. Dirty here in the Pug Bowl so
you have 450 eddies on your chip without putting any more money
on it that you can deal with because the combats only won in
the last match. All right, well, Vivi, as much
as she wants her team to win, has a sneaking suspicion
Biotechnica may be behind. What what Iona said about
Biotechnica potentially, you know, wanting Vendel to win, I
feel like they might be rigging it.
So I'm going to put most of my money into Biotechnica
Biohazards. How much?
Let's do let's do 350 and then the other 100 I'll put in my
team, trauma team. Oh, you're.
Just you're, you're throwing all the money in.
All right, cool. Yeah, because if one get if, if
I win, maybe I'll get enough to get to the VIP.
Fair enough. Is there a reason you want to
get to the VIP? No.
All right. Cool.
Jeb, you're, you're looking, you're looking behind VV as they
do this bet and you notice that they've won some money.
They, they reallocate their cash.
The machine confirms the bet. And as you walk up to the
vending machine, you put your own chip in.
You bet 300 in the Roosters last time and it confirms that you
lost that 300. But because you bet 100 on the
combat zones, you now have 150 leftover on the chip because you
won 50 bucks on that bet. All right, well, what are the
odds on this next game? Trauma Team 1.5.
Biohazards 2 point O. OK.
So it's more likely that the, you know what, sometimes you got
to go bid, you know. So we're.
Going to put the rest of my money all 150 on biotech.
You're not. Putting any more money on the
chip? No, I got to hold.
I got to show some restraint. It's.
Very little money, Jeb, and you're quite rich, but that's
fine. I have a bad concept of money.
Well. No, Jeb.
Really does have a bad concept. Of money in general.
I I would like to bet as well all.
Right. Well, we can use this machine.
Iona. There you go.
All right. I put, I put a little chip in
and I put more money on it and then I, I'm betting 200 on
Biotechnica for this Round 2. 100 confirmed for Game 2.
Perfectly. Easier than I thought, yes.
It's. Really easy.
I love gambling. It's so addictive I'm going to
gamble 1000 on Biotechnica. That's.
The rest of your money A. 1000. Yeah, for.
Just this matter overall fresh what are you?
Fresh, fresh, fresh, fresh, Fresh what?
Am I doing bad? You are being fiscally
irresponsible. I don't.
I've never really had money if you have to remember I'm like 3
years old. All right.
Well, we're just this to you. We are going to start giving you
an allowance, OK? So just so.
Just 700. Then just 700, yeah.
Spending 700. I will be taking over freshers
finances from this point forward.
Everyone else is busy and not paying attention.
Retro is going to go and also make bets.
OK, cool. I do want to know what is.
I can't remember if I made a bet or not for the whole thing
already for the Roosters to win. The computer starts to load on
you and you see that you currently have 500 on the
Roosters to win the whole event at 1.5.
This number for the overall has changed to 1.7 I'm.
Going to put 2000 on biotechnical.
Oh. To win that match, yes, OK.
Gambling with your friends is fun.
It. Sure is.
Oh well, I'm definitely getting a drink.
Yeah. On this.
Chip. I also I'll put a little bit
more in just so I can get a drink you.
Don't have to put money on the bedding chip to buy drinks, you
can just pay with regular money. The bedding chip is just a way
of holding your money in escrow until the event is over got.
It you actually. Can't pull money off the chip
until the event is over. No matter what, you win.
It's like how Venmo makes money. Exactly.
All right, so you go up to the vending machine if you want to
check for what's available in it.
Roller D10. OK.
If you want drinks though, I have a list.
Yeah, I'm going to. Like a list of the drinks go I'm
thirsty bowl you get. A can of smash for 15 get a
boost for 15, you get real water for 20, or you can get shine
which is the cheap shit. Shine has an effect like a drug
so be careful. Oh.
I'd love some shine. How much is that?
Shine is $5 right? 5 euro dollars that's.
Why they call it a 5 finger Eddie?
Yep. And.
You rolled. A9 Looking through the vending
machine and you see that it has a buddy pair of Smash available
for $25. That's $5 off the second can.
Damn straight I'm getting that. Cool.
You buy 2 cans of Smash at $5 off, so you spend 25 Jeb.
You grab the shine and it warns you that it has negative effects
after 15 minutes on the little label on the can.
What? Don't seem so bad.
Roll, resist, torture drugs. Oh, that burns on the way down.
It tastes just like your grandpa used to make, just like my.
Grandpa used to make Oh does. That mean you get advantage
because you're used to this. Fuck it.
Yeah, sure. You get advantage on your role
for Resist torture drugs. If you need it.
You don't need it. That's a crit success.
So you gain the benefits of Shine, which is packaged
moonshine. Yes, that's right.
Corporate moonshine. Gross.
But it still tastes just as good.
And there's part of you that kind of hates that Jeb.
But the effect of this stuff is that you get plus one to reflex
if you roll over the resist torture drugs.
If you fail that, you still get that bonus, but after 15 minutes
you get -1 to your reflex until you sleep.
A reflex of nine so. For for the for the rest of
this, for the next 15 minutes, Jeb has a reflex of plus one,
and if he wants to get that benefit again, he has to drink
more, shine and roll again. Are are you going to be a
rabbit? This.
Corporate shine is not so bad. Tastes just like the first time
I had it. Six years old, back, Grand
pappy. You know, I'm, I'm about one
more, you know, just to have it in the back pocket.
Yeah, you roll. You roll another one.
It clinks out of the machine and is dented and you love it.
Oh yeah. All right, I'm not sticking
around to watch this match. I'm going on an investigation.
You're not going to watch the game.
You're not going to watch Trauma Team.
You love heckling. Trauma Team.
I do love Heckling Trauma Team, do not get me wrong, that is a
love of mine, but my love for my rooster, my my lovely pair of
cocks is needed. It's.
Low. Hanging fruit, but it's tasting
nonetheless. I am a cocksmith if not anything
and I must support my team well go.
Support your cocks. Night City if you look at a map.
Of North America. Somewhere on the western edge
you'd see an inky black dot with fingers pressing into the side
of the continent. That's where you find Night
City. And somewhere in the middle of
that inky black dot is a giant smoking hole, like the universe
itself drew iron and shot straight through the city.
Radiation turned the sky red. But our story starts a little.
Further South in a. Dive bar the shortstop.
Welcome to Night City and welcome to Cyberpunk Edge of
Extinction. Infinite.
Sided Dice presents Cyberpunk Edge of Extinction, a Cyberpunk
Red actual play. Watch now at youtube.com slash
at Infinite Sided Dice catch you later chums.
Vendel. How?
How much of it did you take? The bag.
The whole. The whole bag.
And I don't know, we'll have to roll and find out.
Oh really? Can we find resist torture drugs
the. DV4 synth coke is 15.
Oh, thank goodness. One of the one of the guys in in
in the room, they show me how to do it.
You, you bump it like we do on the ring, we bump it.
That's why people like Coke so much when they do roller Derby,
because they also bump in the ring, don't they?
Don't they tunes. Isn't that right?
High fives everyone and you watch.
Bendale give everyone on high 5 in less in a second.
What? Yeah.
Oh. Yeah, you.
All right. So you did or did not do the
whole bag? No.
No I didn't do the whole bag. I have more if I need it for
later. Great, great.
Please don't do the whole bag in one sitting.
Drugs. Shush, sorry.
Drugs, that's. What you should be yelling or
even whispering? Somebody takes a clan of shine
and just makes it. This place is very interesting.
I know everyone's got so much energy.
I'm ready to do the pub. We've got like 30 seconds.
Here we go and. Watch those they.
Keep walking past you. Do you have anything else to say
to Vendor I? Do I was thinking and I I know
this is strange. I used to date and there was a a
partner that I had that was really into doing Derby BDS OK.
Cool. What the hell is that?
A brain dance, you know that? Oh.
BD Brain Dance. Got it, got it, got you.
Well, they they were always on about their their favorite move.
Have you Have you ever heard of the plane shave?
I think I saw a video once I've got the plane shave.
I've got a recording of one right here in my.
Oh. Show it to Bendel quickly.
We have we have like 29 seconds. Oh shit.
Roll interface. Interface 11.
Yeah, it's very simple to send the video file over to Bendel.
Bendel uses their inner Chiron to check it out and you watch
them kind of like think about. It well, it's a good thing I
have a shovel. I suppose it is cool.
Well. I don't really know when I
should do that, but if you think I should, you tell me.
I'll just stay connected. All right, great.
I don't know what it is, but I'll tell you when to do it.
Look at that. I got a special move.
I don't know if it'll be any good at it because fresh didn't
roll very well so I get no bonuses, but we'll see.
We'll see. I mean, I'm excited to see, to
be honest and. Mendell passes you and heads on
into the ring. The trauma team team walks by
and you see Chad in this group, Phoebe, and he's waving it.
You enthusiastic. Hey.
It's a club, it's my team. Go.
Chad. Oh God, that poor boy, she said.
Go. Chad.
Bye gosh, she said. Go, Chad.
Hey, that's me, mine Chad, that's me.
Haha AM. I am I leading him on Jeb I.
Mean honestly, it's, it's on him.
I, I, I don't see it. I think you're just being nice.
Yeah. Thank you.
No problem.
She's not. Just being nice, man.
I. Think it's for.
Real. Oh, Chad.
Oh. Chad.
Poor boy, poor help. Was bad you?
Watch the team start to settle in on the track.
The door gets closed and you hear an announcement asking
everyone to take their places for the Pug Bowl.
The Pug Bowl will start in a few moments, so everyone get your
spaces and your drinks. This one's going to be pretty.
Red. This.
One's going to be Nova, the Trauma team towers, Siren.
Let's go, Mercy. Got biotechnical biohazards?
Go, go, go, go. You've got this.
Got a lot of money riding on you?
Go. Chad star player.
See, I told you man, CD, why are you?
Live. Wait a minute.
Hold on now. You might be.
Leading them on leading. Now you might be leading them
all just. I'm I'm having fun with it now.
I can't halt myself feels. Nice to be lacked.
Go Vendel. Vendel, you've got this.
And. The first slap commences.
The green light says go. And the first round begins and
as you all know, the first round there is no combat.
So we've got Vendel moving forward our.
First lap begins as the players create the deadly spread taking
the fall to the back. Their blockers are way behind.
Looks like Biohazards has an early lead taking the right
round there. Look at that round.
Looks like rabbit. Vendel really has some speed,
all right. It's super fast.
With the. Lead with Vendel themselves, the
new rabbit on the team. Watch them.
Kareem around the corner Take. The inside take the inside.
Makes their way around the inside, the teams behind them
start to get their first lap. Their rabbit does not do well on
that corner. A little a little bit of a slide
as they slow down and the trauma team's rabbit is closing in.
Chad passes by the VIPs and he rolls in 8 and manages to get
ahead of the biotechnical chairman.
Sirens, you watching making a decent position in this?
Question. I thought you said Chad was shit
at this. Apparently.
He's doing good. I'm so proud of my boy that.
Kind of makes him attractive, right?
Is that, is that what makes attraction?
Kind of yeah. But it's something a very
physical activity. Oh my gosh.
Lends its competence. Notions.
To another physical activity, but if he.
Actually does become like the starboard.
Maybe I actually will. Like, you know, let's not get
ahead of ourselves. Right he he rolls genuinely mid
after getting his lead and just manages to maintain it as the
first round begins and the danger has begun our.
First round has begun and it's a tight spread for this match, I
mean. Chad, I'm not there, but I feel
like Chad has just poured into that uniform.
One of the biohazard blockers is taking a fall, dragging
themselves back into the race, leaving it open for Trauma Team
to take a point. Yeah, that's kind of bad for
Biotechnica. Can they get back up?
What? What do we do?
I mean, don't ask me, I forgot how the game worked already.
Both rabbits are neck and neck, with blockers and jammers tight
behind them. Comment team's starting to do a
little bit of an extra move. They're doing a whip, rolling
A6, careening their jammer forward ahead of the
biotechnical blockers. It looks like Medic J is right
there near their rabbit, and they're going to have to roll an
invasion. That's.
My team, yes. Vendel has to roll an invasion.
Invasion. I mean, if they're neck and
neck, this is going to be a tight game because you need to
lap the other one, right? 19 evasion. 19 evasion and that
means this guy 12 misses Jammer. Two on the trauma team trying
his best, but unfortunately is completely taken over by blocker
#2 on the biotechnical biohazards.
Watch them smash them into the wall.
Yes, Smash. Hit the other ones, hit that
team. I like watching Iona get into
this. Because Tamer is out there on
the field rolling one of my new dice that I got from the Edge
Runner's kit. These dice are awesome.
That's an 8 and that's A tag on Derby.
Biotechnica is up one point and it's only the first contact
round. How many?
Combat lines are there.
As many as it takes to get to 5. So this could be a long game.
This looks like it might be. This is not going to be as fast
as the last one. Blocker number one on the
Biohazards takes a ball. They're not doing well leaving
it open once again. Come on, Biotechnica.
Thank you. Thank you for rooting on your
friend of. Course a little cow.
Pulse specifically. For you.
Oh jabber #1 on the Trauma team has taken a crit fail and their
rabbit, causing a serious amount of distance between the two
rabbits. The new rabbit on the Biohazard
team has taken the back and one of their blockers on the Trauma
team has managed to deflect a hit, and it looks like we've got
a little bit of hope for the block here on the 1st corner of
this second round. That'll.
Lose. That'll lose.
They. Made their first horseshoe and
now. They're coming to the straight
back. That's a 70, that's a four.
That's not enough. Oh, and that's enough.
On the. Trauma teams rabbit really close
to this match. Really close still anyone's Game
2 to nothing? Come on.
Now it's. A second roll for this ring,
their new rabbit right there on the field leading the chase.
They roll at 13. Nice, nice.
Vendel keeping a good lead as Derby get.
Out of the. Maelstrom and get there, right
there out there away from everyone else.
Wow, I am bad at my job. Keep.
Moving. Keep moving your butt.
Like, like the announcement said, move your butt.
That's why the people came you. Watch Vendel start to shimmy and
like sway their ass like. This if it makes you go faster.
Drama Teams Rabbit takes the lead, coming around the inner
side as the rest of the Maelstrom of combat in the Pug
Bowl comes up behind Vendel. It doesn't look like Vendel's
going to be able to use distances.
Defense as one of the jammers takes a swing Roll Evasion.
Here we go this. Is the best Vendel's ever
rolled. Look at that job you watch.
Bendell just bend at the waist fully like matrix style as
someone swings this huge steel back across where they just
were. Whoa, that's some pro moves.
They're close enough, though, that it looks like this melee
attack hits twice. Gosh, that's.
Pro Moves. And Biotechnica.
And now it's 2 to one. The game's getting close.
Oh my gosh, going into our third lap this is getting hot 0.
Man, I don't know what to root for.
Vendel, obviously. Yeah, come on.
Now yes, go. Vendel has has.
Put a lot of money into these people.
We. We need some more morale for
this team. Vendel needs your love and
support looks. Like that jammer's going in for
another hit and, oh, look at that blocker.
Number one on the buyer has it slamming them into the wall.
That's to save giving Ben Dell time to get out to the front and
catch up with Derby. Yeah.
Go get them. Get out.
There up and at them up and at them up.
And at them. Oh trauma team, that's two crip
bales. One of the jammers form just
falls in the ground. Bullshit.
That's really. Funny.
I hope he can hug his nose like the last guy.
Holy shit. And the blocker trips up off
this fucking jam or fuck this shit.
Wow. But those two rabbits rolled the
same. Those 213 sticking around the
first band and all the way to the other side.
They've got one more roll for this lap.
Let's see how it goes. You ever?
Wonder why? You ever wonder how some
announcers get their jobs? I do, I don't know how.
This one does. I think this is.
The guy from that radio show, You know the 05?
Oh, so just nepotism? Oh, it's just that guy.
I just think. It's the same guy I hear he
gives out tickets to make himself more relevant makes.
Sense. Oh, look at that Bendel holding
a 15 all the way out in the front.
We've got some jammers coming up the back end for those
unfortunate points the Trauma team is going to have to give
away with this swing and you. Watch Chad try and stop this
this moment out in the field. He gets distracted though
because he's trying to wave at UVV.
Biotechnica rolling a crit success on that hit right there,
and that is yet another point for Biotechnica right here in
the third round. Holy shit, this match is really
something. We have one more point, match
point for Biotechnica. Match point.
Fred is close. It's probably all down to these
last rolls right here. God yeah, fuck you, trauma team.
You suck you. Suck is, there is.
There like any food next to in this VIP section there?
Is 1/2 glass of wine near you? Yes, on the bar that's waiting
for a guest. Well, I.
I take the glass of wine and I I throw it in Chad's face.
That he is in a glass bubble and you along with a lot of other
people are throwing shit and it this glass of wine shatters
across the top of this glass bubble.
And you, you watched Chad like wince as it comes towards him.
And from behind you you hear oh that.
Was mine. Oh, don't worry.
I'll give you another. Look at that, it's lovely to see
you get a screw. You drama team, Yes.
Screw you drama team, they all said drama team.
Looks like Derby has come up nice and close to Vendel.
They are neck and neck. They can't fight, but they're
going to try and you watch. Derby try and block Vendel off
from getting closer which gives them a -, 1 to their next move.
Behind them you can see Trauma Team and the Biotechnica
Biohazards try their best to win and dodge and and it's their
last role to see what happens. Trauma.
Team has to roll really, really well for this next round,
otherwise they're probably going to lose.
Oh, that's rabbit. That's not good, is it?
Bad Rabbit bad. Rabbit.
Bad Rabbit, that's. Trauma team with that bad rabbit
on this round. The last lap.
Oh look at that. Bendel takes a nice lead around
the first bend with a clean 14. Jammer 1 and Jammer 2 both
rolling at 15, smacking their team out of the way, leaving
space open for biohazards to come on by and roll out, rolling
on a their rabbit. This is the point that can make
the game. Look at that Jammer sail on
forward, take a hit, and here we go.
That is a crip fail. They fall to the ground.
I use. My inspiration.
I. Would like to use my inspiration
to have them reroll. Even though he had a crip fail,
some kind of inspiration is happening out here.
Holy shit. Inspiration for I don't know,
their rabbit. Tries to dodge no.
Oh no, that's the final hit. Hits the ground.
You can see the sadness. She's shaking her fist in the
air because she knows this game is.
Over. Wins.
A rescue and heads into the next match.
Yes. Yes, and I was really, really
pulling for them. And you know, I got to be
honest, I, I feel like I, I, I really should have trusted you
from the beginning there, Iona. And I don't know why I did.
You're not doubting me, you're doubting Vendel.
I. Was doubting myself I think wow
I really got I. Want money?
Gambling works this. Is.
How I you did? Oh well, yeah, same actually
the. Crowd is going crazy.
Vendel's doing that cool thing where skaters do the Figure 8
with their feet. They're going backwards around
the ring, just like shaking their hands in the air.
They just got a little bit of doubt on their face and they're
just like swinging the shovel around their hand, just like
twirling it. And the crowd's like clapping by
yo, technical by what should we? Call them Hot Wheels.
Oh, that's not dying. Hot Wheels.
Hot Wheels.
Wheels Hot, Wheels Hot. Wheels Hot Wheels.
Hot Wheels. I guess Chad's not that hot
anymore. Next time, Oh no Late.
Transpire has hired me and they wanted me to take a look at some
of the security footage. Vendel has to race all right.
Let's go. Oh.
Right. I want money too.
Ding Ding, Ding Ding, Ding. I am.
Both happy and but also now scared if we have to go up
against them, I thought. We were on a mission for a
moment there. Get that?
Weediness in you, no. No, no.
Oh, Jeb, why are? You just accusing wildly.
You know we have comms right? We'll.
See, I mean, and it's not looking good for the Roosters.
I got excited, no. I'm I'm sticking with it.
I'm sticking with my bet. I did.
Put money on trauma team by the way.
So first. Jeb had an existential crisis.
Now me. Son of a bitch I should have.
Known that the collector smoked King Midas's I'm going to.
Be honest, I kind of think you're leading the mom now.
I. Would like to yell out to Chad.
