Last time on no latency. All right, so we can take the
spaces tank back and you should have 1000 Eddie's with only that
part though. That's right.
Then I'm gonna go steal the park.
Hey, hey, Trevor, it's my old landlord Jeb walks past them.
These two clowns and starts rummaging through.
I remember pink said something about vending machines found
one. It's like there's a hole under
this thing and get pulled down into the hole in.
You hear a growling noise that's so just two of us are out on
City Hall. This thing up top.
So now they eat people, ah, they're they're eating people
and they're hungry to eat more people, okay?
So I owner, you and Sano are in a vehicle that you ordered from
the bio Technica Corporation and you're driving out to the
junkyard where we left. Remy and Jeb, just a few moments
ago. Well, you get in the car, you
get a message. Little update.
The contamination has got bad and so biotechnical sent you a
message. Okay.
All right, so I know I have just gotten an update here was so
they have a lot of me, a budget for hiring you.
So I am excited about that. If excited is the correct term,
but there are a couple of things things that we have to do,
before we remove the problem and what would that be?
I so it does look like we have to retrieve a sample.
A sample. So the the only thing that we
have to do is make sure that we get a sample of the formula that
they are using in this satellite station, I see.
So that's it. And then the rest we we just
have to demonetised What is the pay?
well, for a Let's see, a project of this size.
What would be your your normal going rate?
Clearing out also area. How many people need to be
cleared? And number 7 to 10 minute.
Then I will determine my fee once I have completed my task.
That sounds fair. You want me to keep a tally?
Yes, please be my pleasure. Kendall opens up a new note on
their Thailand gets excited as they start organizing a little
spreadsheet. Ready for how many people to
count sheet? Yes, I kill count sheet and
they're so excited about it that they're drawing frantically.
There's a / cabinet payment follow is very impressed by the
organizational skills. And a personal assistant.
Very handy. And you move through the city
and Gathering a little bit more speed.
Is there anything else you want to do before you arrive?
I'm going to look through the blueprint of the satellite
station, and determine the best entry point and where the sample
can be extracted from. So you open up your agent, And
the copy of the satellite station maps that you have only
displays two floors of the specs.
So the satellite stations are these cylinders that they shunt
into the ground. A fully autonomous testing
facility with very little human intervention required usually
powered by some sort of low-grade Ai and people only
really turn up to see if they want to invest in the product,
especially if it's going. Well, you know that there are
four levels You've you've never been further than the lobby of
this building of this facility. Okay?
From what, I know the place that we have to get into his basement
level for while you're looking at the map.
Iona, bendall takes out a tissue and dabs you on one it on your
wound. It's you're still eating.
I'm still bleep it man. I'm sorry I had nearly forgotten
it feels like ages ago that I was shot.
Yes Iona do need assistance. And now I think I'm hopped up on
enough medication currently to to ride out the rest of this.
And this honestly shouldn't be that much of an issue.
We are going in. We're keeping our heads down as
best as we can. We will have to do a lot of
avoiding. I'm sure but this is where you
invent, I will come in your going to just keep the path.
Clear? We'll get down to the bottom.
There should be, I'm looking at for basement levels here.
We just have to get to the bottom, to get the cab system
and we should be able to just get out and run the run and then
It, you just run the cads and we're good if you say so, I
don't know. I've never run out of these.
You know, that sounds like a plan.
Does it, does it sound like a plan?
And it is a plan, right? It is it's a planet but also I
could order a skin graft. We're already almost here.
It will it a drone? Could get it to us?
All right, I guess we have to do brief.
Jeb and Remy anyway. All right.
Thank you. I'll order something.
And you notice that as it's been ordered, a hundred Eddie's is
deducted from your account, as you ride through the streets of
night City, onto your way to the junkyard where this station is,
hopefully the Drone will meet you on your way.
While we wait for you to arrive, we're going to check back in
with Remy and Jeb standing in front of a hole in the ground.
With a very heavy vending machine right next to it.
What are you gonna do, guys? All right, ready?
We'll just go ahead and let's agile.
Don't worry about him haul, this thing up, onto the truck.
Well, he's worried about it. Yeah, you got him stuck in the
situation. Jeb, I did nothing.
He moved it. And he got sucked in.
It's unfortunate. But look, he disrespected you
and I don't care too much about that.
I'm not happy about the way Trevor's been with me either,
but at least humanely can't. Just leave him down there.
Death, gotcha. Well, that's helped sound good
at all. So I say we go ahead and load
this thing. Then you hear the sound of what
you, what you think you here is is Trevor running somewhere,
something metal opening, and then a slam, and some sort of
growl, well seems like that problems can take care of.
So go ahead, just help me out of this mom, will you All right.
Let's get the fuck out of here. We gotta call the cops after
this though. Yeah, we're spice.
Roll me a d-10. just straight across the board, straight
across the board, you can add Athletics, if you want to Good
luck letting too bad. Remy.
As you go to reach the vending machine, your left foot slips
and half of you falls into the hole.
You're now at waist height with your arms out, trying not to
fall. Oh shit.
Jim.
Come on. Give me the fuck out of here.
Grab my hand. Grab my hand.
Yes, he'll be fast gonna be fine.
There is no traction for your feet.
You are slipping heavily. There's something coating the
inside of this tube. I'm reaching for it.
I'm fingers are extended out. Barely touching what you gonna
do chip? I'm trying to reach for, I'm
trying to brace myself against against the vending machine.
It with one hand and reach as far as I can of my own cool.
Bro. Me and Athletics.
Check Hold on buddy. I'm come grab my hand.
Grab my hands. Gonna be okay.
You managed to get hold of, Remy.
I got you. You pull them out and his bottom
half is covered insert. Jesus Christ.
What the hell is this thing? It smells pool.
Judging by the consistency in the feel of it.
It feels like an exhaust pipe. kids, Lord, you tell me there's
some sort of Yeah, machine down there.
I mean. Oh, God, I'm going back into
Vanna White and I'm grabbing my rifle.
Now. Look, we've come much too close
to losing you. We already lost a apparently, a
vital friend of yours. So why don't we just load this
goddamn vending machine into Vanna White and get the hell out
of here? and as you finish that sentence,
A bio Technica black sedan skids into your view and slides next
to Vanna White as you arrive. You hear the shuddering of
blades in the sky. As a little drone comes down.
Drops a box. Outside the door, the window
rolls down and vandals arm reaches out.
Grabs the box and you see the arm come back out.
Give the Drone a Zup, it gives a little Tweedle noise and zooms
off Bendel passes inside the vehicle.
The skin graft away owner based on your room.
All right, I'd peel the backing off of it and just stick it on
after I've depth away my most of the surface blood.
You know, if wealth Iona, Sano it's you will not believe the
kind of shit that we have found out here in the Badlands.
Jump killed my landlord. Look, I didn't kill nobody like
I slipped into. Would you say it was an exhaust
port or something? We're not in the Badlands.
Anything outside the walls Badlands honey least.
That's how I see it. Yeah I don't know if you can see
right me but you know from like Midway from his jacket all the
way down to his pants is covered in black.
Soot like yeah, there's a giant exhaust Port right here.
That's not the entrance. That's why I'm sorry 100's.
What entrance Look, I save this man's life.
You're telling me that you knew that there was some Shenanigans
going on out here. And you told us nothing.
Well, I didn't quite remember that the exact junkyard.
You are heading to was a facility of biotechnical.
But yes, there is a facility down here.
There's a facility. The junkyard.
Would you please keep your voice down?
I'm freaking out here. I almost died.
It is. Hey, it is under control.
I don't understand. My landlord got eaten by
something. Apparently, it's honestly,
probably a good thing. I'm sorry.
Your landlord got eaten by something.
I'm just going to rapidly just point at the at that now like
that that that super stiff away from that Iona, frankly it
sounds like there's some sort of animal trapped at the bottom of
this hole. That frankly wasn't covered up
very well because it looks like you fell into.
So what we're going to do, Is is cops?
No, you don't need to call the cops because I'm here to take
care of this at this facility. So what we're doing Sano and I
have already discussed it, we're going in we're going to check
out the issue. There is an issue going on.
There is a disturbance that needs to be taken care of, we
just have to keep our head down. Get rid of any thing or anybody
who is in our way. It won't take very long.
We Gather what we need. We get down to the fourth level.
There are four levels here, the fourth basement rather, and we
come back and that's it. And then this facility no longer
exists. Santa will walk up to the hole
and look in it. Don't get too close.
I'm telling you place too slippery.
Look. I apparently one person's
already hurt and I don't get why we don't just get the cops to
come and take care of this. That's not our deal.
They get paid to handle this. Not a police.
Business, I'm not getting paid for this.
I'm not gonna go on risk, my life for whatever the fuck just
took my ex landlord. I will give you 200, Eddie's to
come with me. Oh great.
So a nice bar tab. Okay.
Yeah. It's better than nothing.
Well, hey I look, I'm all for the money but listen, I hate to
be a broken record but you anything.
Jeb, Jeb, you still owe me. Well, then deduct it from my
tab. Honey.
No way, you're sucking me into this list since the facility is
being destroyed. Reclamation of items is
permitted. You telling me this within
reason, We did my medication no medication.
So Hardware indication and they pull out a knife and medication.
I don't think there's going to be an issue with them taking any
medication. Now, Hardware free reign within
reason. You whatever, you whatever you
get you have to haul out. And I am not helping you and Van
Del you are not helping understood.
I own. You can only get what you can
carry. Fine get what I carry.
You cover. Bar tab fine.
No latency. Fuck.
All right, you win. All right, Iona, listen, just
give it to me straight. Hmm, I'll help you with this.
Hmm. Will you hook me up with one of
your biotechnical France to really make sure that Sloan's
going to be? All right.
Look, I've got everything I need.
I just need her back up and running.
If you have any thoughts, you have your fixer.
You're going to be fine. I've heard them say it a hundred
times. Remy can fix a tuna.
Can do it. You have all the parts.
You should be fine. I am not promising you anymore.
Biotechnical employees, help equipment.
Because you have proven time and time again to be a money hole.
Look, I'm just an investment that hasn't quite got a return
yet. Uh-huh.
Yeah and by the way I believe you already contracted me for
that job so you put me out of the money, you owe me.
Listen, Jeb this world revolves around Eddie's and there is
nothing that you can do to change that.
If you want to be a part of it, you need to have some fucking
money. Look, Jeff, I'll make you a
deal. Alright, you help me carry some
good shit out. I'll cut down the price on what
we are. Worked out for labor costs.
Working on your bird. Jade pulls out his two twin Colt
45 and goes. Well then let's get down to
business, shall we? That took a while.
I didn't understand why, they, why, why did they argue with me?
So hard, sauna? What?
What?
They are bullheaded. Machine.
Man, I'm so glad that you are here honestly.
Should we jump down here? Well, they have in the sidebar.
So we have a sidebar room. No, where is the entrance to
this place? Oh, should we took down here?
And now this is not the entrance.
And I whacked him over to the entrance.
So you're going to have to look for it because it is hidden
shit, okay, the entrance to the lobby is hidden and since it's
been a while, since any human has been here, the entrance is
probably got covered up. The entire facility is under
ground including the lobby, but I have been here at least once
before you were here, when it was first installed, that's when
you first got your job in this department, I'm looking For
landmarks good. Because you were here before you
can use local expert. Thank you.
Sea route, 32.
You turn around, well done, by the way, round full of you turn
around slightly to your left and you see a pink flamingo standing
in the middle of a small clearing.
That's the entrance. Oh yes.
It was a joke because it was summertime, we were talking
about having a pool party, getting a pool installed up top.
It was a whole thing, you really had to be there but if we just
and I I twist it and I pull it. And open the hatch, opens hatch
on the top. And in the very, very top of the
flamingo's head, there's a fingerprint scan turn around.
Please don't look. I don't want you to know which
finger this is So, we'll turn around, I'll just turn my screen
off. Jeb gives her a particular
finger in turns around, stop them if they turn around.
You touch it with one of your fingers unknown to all beat you
because even vendor doesn't look, you hear a tiny beep and
then a hatch opens in the ground.
And some of the, some of the trash that was on top of it
falls in and then a fairly steep, but easily walkable
stairway clicks along into the lobby below.
Are you coming? You can turn around now.
Son, all turn around and head down.
Holding out his very Heavy pistol out from the sleeve.
Oh man. This capitalistic world of
revolves around money is so nasty, ain't it?
And Jeb walks down. Remy screen will turn back on,
and Follow along is rifle, of course shaking as he goes, in
this new job or as we're walking down the staircase.
See, Jeb, you say that sarcastically but you do seem
rather impressed. He had the Secret Door was
pretty cool. It was pretty cool, wasn't it?
And as you will get into the lobby, the door above you close
it and you hear something, not really sure what move trash back
on top. You know it to be automatic and
is not a person but this base is now once again.
Hidden and you're in a Lobby room.
It's dark. The station hasn't been manned
for a minute and the lights, click and flicker in a big sign.
Neon sign appears that says, investor observation and tours
it blinks on some of the screen start to start up.
You hear a computer terminal, spool up and then all of a
sudden, one of the screens turn on and a commercial starts.
Welcome investors to biotechnical.
Here at Bayou Technica. We're always innovating
inventing and pushing the boundaries of bioscience from
the pills, for your health, the fuel in your car, and even soon
the fuel in your body. Your investment in BIO Technica
will help Humanity, grow and survive and we thank you.
Thank you. Please relax and enjoy the
amenities. The tour will begin soon.
Biotechnical is not responsible for personal bodily harm, injury
or death for any persons in our facilities, not on investment
will be profitable. Biotechnical is not liable for
loss of funds or zombie-like fights for their terms and
conditions, apply Jesus Christ. And then one of the screens
Fizzles, sort of shunts slightly to the side falls on the ground
cracks. And the computer gives out an
error beep. I guess it's been a while since
her since we've checked on this facility, did anyone else?
See how creepy that kid was in that video?
That kind of gave me shivers? We hire a local actors and so
it's not always the best quality but it's nice for investors to
come in and see faces. They may recognize.
I'm just saying like I'm step up again, that was disgusting.
Jeb kind of pushes kind of kicks at the at the downed screen on
the floor and goes, how long has this been down here?
Not very long. A thing, as I have not been
working for this company or in this division for for, you know,
An extended period of time but it is neglected.
I will say neglected, I'd say it's more abandoned.
And as you say abandoned as a spark that goes off next to you
get hurt but it does gave a little eye.
It is It's definitely not abandoned.
I will have to let you know that it is.
It is neglected, we will come across people.
Well, we are here I'll say. It would that be one of them
people? I hear shamblin.
All right. Iona, what the hell we doing
here? Whatever we're doing.
Let's get it done. Let's get out exactly.
Exactly. We just have to get to the
elevator and I honestly, I'm not quite sure what the sample I
need to retrieve is, but if you want to check each floor for
equipment that you might take back with you, Remy.
We can certainly do that. Now the issue is You may have to
defend yourself and that's all the elevator door dings and
opens. I'm going to walk to the
elevator before I walk to the elevator.
I want to take a look around this investor room to see if
they had any left left, any good goodie bags Swag Bags yes Romy a
perception check I'm gonna go ahead and cover your back while
you're doing that one of the vending machines has like three
snacks hanging out of it. Hmm you find on one of the walls
a thing that says Escape Plan and then a little arrow to a
hatch. Just around a little pillar.
So placard and snacks. But also the location of the
escape hatch from the lobby. Yeah.
I'ma rip the placard off, Ima take that and then I'm going to
smash the window of the vending machine and I'm going to take
the pack some snacks with me as well, just use the butt of my
gun and just we are trying to be stealthy, you know?
Who else is around here, Samurai?
I did just tell you that this place is not abandoned.
Maybe try listening next time You said that I could take
whatever I want so I'm taking whatever I want.
Ridiculous. And sauna will go up to the
elevator and make sure no one's in it before entering.
There's no one in it but there is a large blood stain.
I'll clear Jeb's gonna go in. I'm in the elevator.
Remy will also follow trying not to step on the blood.
Right? You will get in the elevator, it
closes and the fucking head starts again.
Now, Jesus Christ, welcome to shoot.
No, it fries Fizzles and goes out.
Thank you. I didn't want to see that creepy
kid again. Now, I would imagine that I'm
not shoot a gun in an elevator, please.
It was very loud be elevated to sends the door opens. and in
front of you in emergency lighting only is something Jeb's
going to try to kind of skulk into the Shadows.
As you take one step forward, you notice the something is wet
organic and it moves and turns around and there are two yellow
glowing eyes. One of the arms is bigger than
the other, a huge hunch huge mass is on their left shoulder
and the other arm is spindly, the mouth opens way too wide.
And you just hear this hurtling screen A pack of snacks and that
open mouth. It eats it.
But does it doesn't stop yelling and you hear more yelling coming
from either side of the hallway. You should roll for initiative.
Iona, you're first. I unholster the heavy pistol at
my side and I take a shot at the person in front of me and as I
do so I will be exiting back into the elevator.
Oh yeah. You hit you pull out your gun.
You find once or twice. I will fire.
I will just fire off the one shot in back into the elevator.
Are you hitting, are you trying to aim anywhere specific between
the eyes, quote unquote, between the eyes?
You do hit it right between the eyes. 47 damage, it recoils back
its head, flicks all the way back, and then pulls back
forward and looks at you and starts to shamble for, as I
Retreat into the elevator Jenna, use my assault rifle, or should
I use my one and only flashbang that I have?
Let's go to the assault rifle for now.
Then there's only only see one creature at the moment right
now, you see 30 then? Yeah, I'm gonna use the flash -
I'm just going to say everybody close your eyes and imma throw
the flag. Spring out.
All right. Romy.
A d-10. Seven.
Yeah, you throw it far enough. Good.
The flashbang goes off everyone Romeo d-10, Remy throws, the
flashbang it goes forward about seven feet and then as he throws
it through the air, he yells cover your eyes.
What it goes off. Jeb, Sano and Vandal.
Don't close their eyes in time, Jeb Pro me and D6.
You shoot yourself in the foot for one damage.
Gasps son of a bitch. I was trying to hide give well
my position. Mmm, the flashbang has gone off
and it does. Unfortunately mean that Sano and
Vandal can't go yet? Is he the first Abomination goes
to, The nearest person which is sauna and goes to Claw at you,
but actually misses because it's a shambling.
B monster goes to swing at you and you hear the arm swings
through the. Are you here a whoosh?
And you take half a step back the next combination heads
towards vendor vendors. Very, very quietly with their
eyes shut being very still. Here's the swipe themselves and
takes a step back and then turns their head directly to Sano and
says he do. And then the third one, Heads
towards Jeb and attacks and mrs. Ari.
These things ain't messing around.
Folks sound take them down from the safety of the elevator.
With my back against the wall, I'm going to brace myself just
against the back of the wall and fire off.
Two more shots at the abomination in front of me.
Sounds awesome. Do you have a preference of
which one you're attacking? Just the big one in front of me
so that it does not come into the elevator.
You got it rips across the monsters left arm and their left
arm comes off and falls to the ground.
And the monster picks it up. Shoves it into its mouth.
Eats its own forearm, throws it on the ground and continues to
shamble forwards. Hello, I shout don't let them
eat each other or themselves. I feel like that would solve a
problem with. They just eat themselves.
That's not the way it works. That's not what this facility is
for. Creating cannibals.
I'll explain it to you later. Just get out of there.
I will aim. Did I own until it's like a weak
spot at all on them or shoot them in the mouth.
If you can, I'ma shoot it in the mouth.
You hit you hit 20 damage? Do you turn your wrist to try
and shoot another one? Yeah, I'm gonna go ahead.
I'm going to take the shot and then do a quick spin on my right
heel to the next one. Curve, the rifle bullet.
Yeah, I'll swing my arm like in the comic and try to know the
bullet. We're like on right next to use
the cuff. Bullet thing, you don't have a
gun that does that today, and you try and do it because you
saw it, you saw it in a, in a, in a bid to commercial, there is
a gun that will shoot around a corner.
If you know where your target is, as you try and do it like
they do in the in the vid tube Rami, just one d-10. 6, so 14
damage hits, the first Target, and it just rips through its
head. Its head splits into a bunch of
pieces. It kind of shakes a lot forced
to the ground. And then somehow manages to
vomit without a head, then the next Beast to your right.
Also takes six damage grabbed it idiot.
Sano. It's very loud in here, so it's
very loud in here. I'm no one can hear you when
you're talking like that, to me lie to myself.
Jeb is going to go you sons of bitches Papaw and the two
between the Colt 45. So going off.
Well, that one misses and then, here comes the next one.
Hey, that's a lot better. So you'll know it was good with
your left hand, right? You go to shoot and it goes
right past the head of the zombie to your left.
There's only on your right though, gets hit right through
one of its eyes and the eye goes through its head and out the
back and you see it like fall off with the rest of the bullet
like, pus and stuff comes out of the eye socket that now is
missing and I and it groans With this gurgle, the sent a chill up
your spine. And then Sano you can finally
see again, great. Hi.
Look at there's two enemies left.
Yes, yes. Okay.
I will get out my car. Tana from my hand, I will spray
my arm out, it will jump out, and I will grab it with my right
hand and then bring it down from shoulder to hip on this.
creature 20, you hit Five, dams. But plus one because of my so
wealthy. If I smack attack slices through
him and it kind of cuts all the way but halfway through his
stomach and now like he's hanging halfway but still moving
forward. Like the legs are still moving
but it's not very it's not going to really going to be able to
attack anything because it's just a big Blobby mess at this
point. Know how are your back and shoot
the katana through the head right through the mouse?
A23 to hit you hit. And nine Dems.
Yes, I will rear back like a bow and then shoot out my Katana
right through the mouse. It will go up into the head and
then all twisted and then lashed to the.
And then the head will just kind of topple off and all the cuts
will just spew out onto the floor from the neck.
And there's one abomination left.
Mendel shakes, their face opens their eyes and say it's my turn
jump forward. Jump on top of the shoulders of
the enemy. Stick the knife in the top,
twist the knife and pull the head off.
The whole body cramps beneath them and they land on the
ground, on top of the body, and shake the head off and go, if
they do well. Good and well, yes, and combat
is over. Do we hear any other sounds from
this area? You hear a beeping.
A subtle peeping. That's getting closer and closer
and closer to you. I don't like that.
Humming noise a small humming noise.
Little wine and then into some of the safety light, you see a
little round orb appear. It hovers there looks at you
Iona. With it's big eye and says,
welcome to station 7ms capisco. We've been waiting for you.
All communication has been, severed, experiments, and then
really alone for a while. Next time on Nolan's.
Executive Patapsco, a Phi, a Phi, wonderful.
Okay, so it's nice to see you for a second time.
Yes, I'm sure that you were here last time.
Oh, what? They just didn't get focused
tested. Well, awfully close to the edge
of my nerves. They're Iona.
They are not zombies. Zombies aren't a real thing.
They're not Undead. Jonas is what we're looking for
and I flash the badge we get on with this thing.
I will speak up. Is anyone in here?
and then, Answer now. Or I will leave you to your
peace. This is fucked.
