Last time on no latency. Are you threatening me?
Oh, here we go. I know when the story comes in,
it's the I own a Hagel. Jeb, you can take care of your
own problems. So.
Let's take care of one of mine, Vivian.
Get to see you both again, Jeb. Let's go with the flash mob idea
one. 234. 5 going to be just fine.
I have to go. There is a severe biotoxin in
her and her heart is shutting down I.
Will be right back. You're going to be all right.
Well, all right. Kick it into high gear on this
one. Tried to kill Vivian Oh again.
There's close one there. We got through it.
The hitman is still here. Ram's head, scary face, dark
hats. Good to meet you too, Hitman.
He's an actual hitman. Right, right.
For 1500, for you to tell me who hired you, It's not.
Bogart in the joint, dude. Great.
I mean, it's not our fault that you didn't kill your mark today.
Right, this one. Wow, I love your outfit.
Thank you, that's so nice. Did you like get it from here
because you work here. No, I designed it myself.
You design clothes? Wow, that's that's really cool.
This place is probably the best looking booth here in the glass
market. Flattery will get you
everywhere. I'm soft speak.
Nice to meet you. Soft speak, I'm Vivi, nice to
meet you. So I was looking for some a new
look, specifically in the hollowware department.
You want hollowware. Yes, the Mazzero hollowware to
be exact. Oh that's so cool.
I have one left one second. They shear off the end of their
nail. It's so much better.
It's always better when you do it quick.
You know, like a Band-Aid. And they open up this big safe
underneath and they pull out this box and they're
magnetically floating in a display case.
I only have the special edition. Whoa.
Comes with two extra outfits. Oh.
Yeah, well, extra, it's two tokens.
You get to pick what they are. I see.
Well, how much? Well, retail there are 1000
glass market prices, so 15 special edition so.
Yeah, that that makes sense. Magazines are expensive.
Yeah. Oh man, if if only.
I don't know. We're here.
Maybe we can't haggle 1500 it is.
You're just gonna do you. Have a haggle.
No, I can't. Vivi's notoriously bad at
haggling. The last time at the night
market. Yeah, exactly.
And And just this. Just like.
The last time. OK.
I don't know why you just don't offer your services.
Aren't you like do like a free check up and then charge them
1500 for that, you know? Red tech prices, yeah, yeah,
they are pretty expensive, you know.
No, no, no, no, no. I do want to take them.
I was. I was just thinking you, you
you're looking a little pale. Have you?
I know, but pale isn't like the like look.
I'm I'm a doctor and. The coat gives it away.
Yes, and your your skin kind of has a bit of that like that very
pale look to it where maybe you look like it could be something
like anemia or just like lack of vitamin D or things like that.
God damn it, I'm just going to pay the 1500.
Tracy, Tracy Tracy I as as your as your coach manager on this, I
say you fight to use first key instead doesn't need to doesn't.
Need to. That's an 18.
That's really good. I scanned me and it's.
Let's just take a look look. 50. OK.
And just just so you know, you should, do you have an annual
check up with your General practitioner?
Is that something you do? When I can afford it.
Night City. I I understand but you should
try to make time and and budget for it because it's very
important. And she pulls out the Med
scanner and looks up and down. So quiet scare.
Gaming. Well, just as I suspected,
actually. Roll, roll, roll for it.
Roll. Roll for it.
Yeah, sign to. Iron deficiency detection
subject may be anemic, otherwise stable.
She's fine. Just as I suspected, it is.
Yeah, you have an iron deficiency, but you know that
start. Yeah, yeah, it starts small, but
that could one day evolve into a full-fledged anemia if you're
not careful. So make sure you take your
supplements. Thanks doc.
And thanks for not being mean about it.
We all forget to take our vitamins sometimes.
Yeah, yeah, I'll put my, I'll put my Take your pills dummy
alarm back on. It was.
Here you go, I'll I'll sell it for 1100.
Oh, 1100. Thank you.
Well, it was a sweet song. It wasn't a hold on.
I just tried it for. The day it's a sweet song.
That's the name of my label too. There's a few outfits in the
garden if you're interested. Here's AQR code if you need it.
I'll give you a follow, thanks. I'll speak and I take my new
Mazzeto hollowware and skip off back back to the crew.
And you walk up behind the crew and there they are, standing in
the street and Retro's just about finishing a joint all.
Right, Jeb, can you name me the top presidents of the old US of
A? Hi Vivi.
Wow, this guy sessions the 1st. 16 would you like that like the
1st 16? Yeah, yeah, I.
Washington, Adams, Jefferson, Medicine, Monroe, Adams,
Jackson, Van Buren, Harrison, Tyler, Polk, Taylor, Fillmore,
Pierce, Buchanan, and then #16 Lincoln.
You made-up like half of those. I'm pretty.
Sure I didn't, I promise you, I think.
Whatever two of them were, John and Vavie Adams was let me.
Go again, Double Cafe. Yeah, what did I just walk in
on, Mark? Don't, don't, don't, Nelson.
Monroe, Adams, Jackson, Van Buren.
First one was signed that Declaration of Independence,
John. The van is right there.
BB's here. You have the big box, BB.
That's cool. Look.
What I got? I got new hollowware.
Is it on? No, it's in its box.
I have to you have to like install it and stuff and set it
up but. Toys.
It's pretty cool. I basically get a hollow outfit,
well two with two additional outfits as well.
You download it, you download it from your agent to the device
and it essentially makes cool hollowware that I can wear only.
Works with agents. Checks a hologram around you.
Yes. How does it do that?
I'm a Med. I know the word tech is in my
name. Med tech.
I'm only specializing in the medical field here.
Retro. You're you're the tech guy.
Is it? A tiny little cameras with.
It. No, it's just those bracelets.
See look in the diagram on the box.
Are you naked underneath? Yeah, you just naked underneath.
It's not what anybody who wears clothes.
Designs to wear over clothing can be transparent.
Well, that's fine. It goes with outfits in some
ways. I haven't decided.
I haven't decided how I'm going to style it yet, so I'm going to
look through the catalogue and download a couple.
We'll see. Change your outfit in seconds.
These are so cool. Yes.
So it's. Like a wearable screen kinda.
I guess. Yes.
Pretty neat. Which also the effects of if
there's ever like an EMP or a microwaver, you know, I'll be
naked. Well, I guess if I'm going to
wear something underneath the you'll.
Be cold I'll. Be cold.
Beauty. I have a question.
If you can make holographic clothing which is projected
around you, which means there's going to be at least several
tiny microcameras around that, could you reverse engineer it so
it's kind of like a stealth suit and it would just reflect
everything around you, so you would just merge in with
whatever. Once again, retro, the word, the
name, the word tech is in Med tech.
It's also. Still in the box and she hasn't
used it yet. You.
Know if you want to take a look at it retro and see if you can
makeshift something. I will.
As long as you don't break it. OK, well.
Something something sacrificed to the machine gods in order to
get inspiration. I'll help the Aunt Messiah.
OK, let's get in the car. By the way, what happened to
that Lady? What?
Oh, she's fine. It means PBN just.
Painted, yeah. Oh, is that?
Is that the name, that old thing?
Yeah. The assassin guy that you guys
went to talk to tried to assassinate her with a biotoxin
and I saved her life. A what?
A Biotoxin. Yeah, yeah.
And it's probably our boy Danny Darkseid.
He's pretty pissed at her. Probably that guy.
It's Mr. Darkseid. I hate fucking Danny, he's such
a loser in college. Well, he's a good kisser.
And Julia. No confidence, God, you have an
antidote. Jeb, we're going to the Bubble
Cafe. Take a left.
Roll a dry bubble. Yep, on it.
Yes, yes. Bubble, bubble tea.
Oh, you know. What I'm gonna say this, I'm
just a little I'm, I'm a little bit happier now.
I I never thought about us ever having to deal with a toxin, but
now knowing that BB carry like how many vials of antitoxin do
you carry on you? I have quite a few but they're
not cheap. I have this bag that it it
charges back to trauma team and I can replenish it so I only
take what I need kind of thing. What's it called?
I think yes. I've heard about that.
I was reading that in my tech magazine the other day.
Yeah, it's, it's quite handy, you know?
Yeah, doesn't. That use the for the toxins.
It uses the ocean of spiralis and the active or sporomachinis
right as a binding agents to build upon each other to then
eat said toxins, turning it into table salt.
Right. Huh.
Driving. So you just introduced a shit
load of electrolytes into that ladies body?
Washington. Adams, Jefferson, Madison.
You roll at 25 while I earn a lists more presidents.
You find a really. You know what?
No, you get the space exactly outside of the front door of the
Bubble Cafe. It's late.
Skin. It's it's just after midnight at
this point. You were shopping for a while.
You arrive outside of the Bubble Cafe and the place is popping.
There's music in the background. You can, you can kind of hear a
whole thud of music playing inside, you know, just two
things. The music's loud enough that you
can't really hear more than sort of the thud.
And two, that somebody is using a fog machine and see you think
there's a party going on. Whoa.
Is it like a Lights out party? Because obviously it's.
Black, this place is lit. Is it usually this dark?
Is it usually this bumping? I mean, you know.
No, it's not. It's not always like this.
There's a event happening at the Bubble Cafe and I wasn't
informed about it. Wait, Ben Dell, did you know
about an event happening at the Bubble Cafe?
Maybe. You were very.
I swear. That's coming to the bubble
cafe. Oh.
If I if TC and Coyote are in there and nobody told me about
this event, I'm going to be very upset.
Ben Dell baby. Says the chick behind the
counter as you step inside. What's going on?
I've got great news, yeah. We paid off all the loans.
We're out of debt. Oh, but.
The business will actually stop paying out now.
Thanks for. Your help?
I'm I'm so happy to hear that. Is this like a celebratory party
for that? Yeah, a little bit of a
surprise. Thank you to you all.
Your drinks are my free. What?
They were keeping it a surprise the whole time.
That's why they didn't tell you. No.
Way. Damn, that's pretty fucking
awesome. Oh my gosh.
Nobody thought I intentionally forgot human perception,
otherwise you probably would have worked that.
This is amazing. It's a lock in.
Oh my God, a lock in I. Love this track.
Oh my gosh this place. You guys should do more events
like this here. This is this is the vibes.
Yeah, I charged like 100 ahead and they all just did it.
Fresh. Damn.
Fresh is here. Hey, fresh, what's?
Up fresh is dancing on a table and this bodyguard trying to get
and come back. Come on mate.
No. How many drugs did you give him?
At least. 2. Fresh.
Every cyber it's all in me. It's not the song that's being
played. I'm.
Fresh, fresh, fresh. Yes, I'm a cyber man.
Hacker. There are, yeah.
I'm off the table. I'm like now, pink, pink, pink.
I'm excited. Pretty close I.
Dance on this table, anybody. God can touch me.
I'll get down there actually my. Boss, you rub a 20.
You're you're doing just fine. You just they don't want you on
the table and so you shouldn't be on the table.
OK. I, I I see that can I, can I get
a can I get a non alcoholic, non dropped bubbles tea for Mr.
Fresh Pea over here? It's of course what flavour
bland. As much sugar as you can.
Oh, as much sugar as I can. OK, bland.
Do you want do you want bland? I have no flavour.
Yes, tastes like tastes like tapioca pudding, but just the
tapioca pudding part. Do you want the texture?
No, I'll put the order in. Tap on the computer and in a few
seconds it slides out onto the table in front of you.
Sugar's a drug, yeah. That's OK.
It's grey. I love grey.
Most of the Internet is grey. Oh no, there's not a sugar in
that. Oh I drank that very crispy bro
this is 2 drugs did. You finish it, I'm drowning.
You didn't. Say not to drink it fast.
Rosa got to have a sugar crash so bad.
That's so true. 15 yeah the the sugar doesn't make them faint,
but they're just going to be a bit hyper for a bit but if 15 is
pretty high I'm. Pretty good at that.
Do a lot of drugs in my free time I'll.
Just sit down. I figured something normal but
with sugar would be good for you.
Based on a dance though this music.
Brilliant. Feel free dance your little
heart out. I wiggle my butt a little bit.
Oh, that's nice. Yes, Stevie.
Well, I am going to have my usual drink.
There you go. Thank.
You we we've got extra thick lavender today.
Oh yeah, I'll take it extra thick.
Cool, you got it. Slurpy stuff.
Somehow it has boba in it and it isn't an unpleasant experience.
Because I am one of those people that doesn't like the boba and
my boba. I'm like boba without the
pearls, please. Thank you.
OK, so there's no drugs in it then you just get the flavour of
lavender. It's very pleasant.
There are a few condiments on the desk in front of you and you
can sprinkle edible glitter and hundreds and thousands.
This place is the best. There's edible glitter.
Yeah, You can put as much as you want in.
Do you have a wheat? A wheat.
Grass bubble tea. I can just get Reeves to make it
for you. Sure, I'll take it.
Reeves, the Iona special, please.
Are they here? Cool.
OK, give me one second. You hear it through the little
flap on the wall. There's a drink named after me.
And Reeves sticks his head out of this little hole.
Hey, how's it going? Is there a?
Drink name after all of us. Hello, Reeves.
Hi. Yeah, No, we just know that
you're like weird. We taste.
So you're like the only one Vivi invested in the company.
So that's why they have like preferential treatment.
But you're just weird. So here you go.
Wait, does that mean I get one because I'm weird?
No, Jeff, they're your. Your drink's pretty easy.
You like whiskey and you like Bubba.
So there you go. Oh.
Hell yeah, it's. Just means it's like sticking.
He's just, he's just like sticking his toes here.
It's hollow in the wall. Hey, what's up?
I put so much glitter in my wheat.
My wheat shot bubble tea. And it and it fills with
glitter. And for the rest of the evening,
your mouth will reflect. I I take very good care not to
get any of it on me, just only inside.
Iona Iona looks like a sport and a multi coloured glitter grill.
Right. And retro.
Very high DV to try to get glitter to do anything.
I'm sorry, that's just the nature of the universe.
Please continue. Reeves Is there a drink named
after me? No, but I suppose the DJ calls
will do. No, I'm good with that.
I've had the DJ. OK.
Can I get can I get a pineapple under the sea?
Yeah, totally. What do you want?
Your Velva? Sorry, what do you want in your
bubbles, Dwarf? It's not fucking Bubba Dwarf
dwarf. Dwarf.
Dwarf, Dwarf. Dwarf, Dwarf.
What is? Dwarf Dwarf is a synthetic
endorphin that is a popular street drug in cyberpunk.
Oh yeah, it is that that is the terminology for you.
You mean we? All know about that.
Yeah, shit. Right.
Don't. I don't do drugs.
No, that's right. That's why this name drink up to
you. Wait.
I've been drinking some myself. I'll be right there.
OK, right here you go. Sweet.
All on me today, yeah. Yeah, no worries.
OK. Can I, can I, can I have, can I
have a lavender sparkle, please? Yeah.
You loud? Sparkle.
There's a little, there's a little party going on, everyone.
There's people dancing, people sitting at tables.
It's pretty chilling. Yeah.
As the night goes, while Retro is bringing, maybe, I don't know
if there's a point where he drinks the second dwarf, he's
just going to have the cup open and just stab it with the straw
and eat it. Like it's like a what's a
toothpick, right? It was like toothpicking into
his mouth and then having drinks everyone, every little bit
because he's really high. There are people dancing.
Does anyone don't? Yeah, maybe he's going
especially. On dwarf dwarf dwarf is is like
X but without the downside. Who's dancing?
Me. I will stand right outside of
the the dancing area with my wheat grass and I will gently
sway along. Yes.
Oh yeah, I'm just snowing hands all the time.
I'm. Just you're dancing at the glass
market has given you some extra skill on the dance floor and you
do a little spin and people start to sort of doing some cool
moods. Bebe you're all pretty mid,
probably mid, but you rolled over mid at 13 and so your dance
moves are becoming Shall We Stand and it it invites a lot of
other people to get up onto the floor.
Do any of the other players start dancing, Jeff?
Oh yeah, I would say I, I, I danced 15 about.
Oh, you did roll. I'm sorry.
Yes, you roll A-15 and oh, that's pretty high.
So. It's not, it's not quite, as you
know, fantastic as my last dance in the last episode.
Jeb, one of the other patrons. Little.
Pink Bob with two pink ponytails and she's just doing a little
shimmy towards you. That's a good role, man.
You've you've gained a dance partner here in the Bubble Cafe.
And Jeb is completely oblivious, but it is like, oh, you want to
dance? All right, yeah, come on.
And. She starts to get a little bit
closer to you. Joe.
Human perception. This is fun.
Without really anyone noticing, Iona is doing the most amazing
dance and it distracts Jeb as he rolls a crit, fails, falls over
and you fall over on this trip. You've fallen on her, now she's
you're now on top of her as she's trying to get up.
Sophie, could you please, ma'am? I, I, I apologize.
It was, you know, he's got 2 left feet sometimes.
Excuse. You.
No, no. I I, I Yes, I am excused.
She leaves the room. Well.
And you've actually like, she leaves.
Oh boy. Well damn, Jeb.
I I I don't really know, sorry. It would be a vibe guilt, but I
think you just have to dance through it.
Yeah, what happened? You don't high enough on
dancing, you get up and this chick, she walks away and carry
on dancing. Yeah, I'm not going to live
there. Stop me, you know.
Bendel is also dancing, I'm sure skating around.
Bendel's doing a little trick on the tables and starts doing
little pirouettes with fresh pee.
Hi. I'm drunk at the end of.
Myself, I'm just drunk do do that sachet and then the slide
movie did back at the at the at the at the market.
But there's one. Yeah, yeah, that's the one.
That's the one. See, see.
Totally forgot all about whatever happened.
I I missed it. You rolling dunks?
Oh again. Yes, Well, I suppose I can
library search about that. Don't worry about that.
OK, so while doing this dance, you do this really terrible mime
of looking through a bookcase, pushing the two books aside and
trying to dance through it. And then you trace your hands
down your chest and you put them on your hips and your keys are
missing. And then you do a little step
down, another push and you put your hand again and your keys
are missing and and your keys are missing.
Wait do your keys are missing? Oh no, they're Van Dale.
Yes. You got my keys right?
No. Oh, did you drop them when you
fell over? It was really funny.
Oh. That was it.
That must have been it. I'm looking.
Take a look around. I got to be around.
Here so all my section. As you go to look under one of
the tables, you put your hand under one of the tables, and as
you pull your hand away, it's covered in freshly chewed bubble
gums, the same gum that that chick was chewing.
Oh my. Oh, she's definitely going to
think I'd like him a creep now. Oh, Jase, how?
You. Sticky.
OK, OK, OK. So I have one of them, one of
them trackers on my keys or they just straight up, you know, 1966
Volkswagen keys. I am going to ask you honestly,
Spoon, do you think Jeff would do?
That God? No.
But would have one of us have done it?
Right, right. Well.
I didn't think about it, so no. I, I don't, I'm going to be real
dude. I don't think he did.
No, I mean that. You stand up and you've realized
during this time that you lost your keys.
Oh boy, Cybertopia is back and it's
going punk. And after the Corpse threw them
under the bus, our former amazing Corpse agents are trying
to make sense of it all and find their place in the world once
more. Last thing.
I. Remember.
The OP was going. Fine.
And then? Everything.
Exploded. So it's time to recover.
I mean, hey, so far I've been hungover, beaten up, stole food.
Had an hour and a half. Hike dragged myself half to
death, got zapped half back to life.
Everything's fine. Rebuild.
Well, I can dispense eggs again, but the lemonade dispenser is
doing steak sauce. And we can connect with friends
old and new. Well, well, well, let's be
trash. Fortunately though, not
everything has been lost. The T dispenser still works.
Search for Cybertopia AP anywhere you find your podcast.
Oh boy. Jeff's everything OK?
You're looking a little stressed over there.
Yeah, yeah. You know, I think I got, I think
I got, got, don't got my keys no more.
You don't want to. Throw up.
Well, Vanna White's keys, they even either took us or I lost
them. I don't know which one's worse.
Oh, you've lost the keys to Vanna White.
Now there is a spare, but I'm going to be honest with you, I
have no idea where they are. Well, should we see a Vanna
White's still outside? Yeah.
We probably should. Go and look.
Let's go take a look. Oh jeez.
Oh, Jeb. Oh God.
Oh no, no. Jeez, stress.
Oh dear Lord, no. Jeb gets down on his knees.
No, please. All the stuff was in there,
Bebe's new outfit or the guns. No, somebody call the police.
They, they, they, they got to be, you know, tapped into the,
into the CCTV rather they, they got to hear something.
NCPD are so unhelpful. Well then wait retro, how about
you patch into the CCTV? Retro is high as fuck right?
Now no Chase Anna King. Retro is is essentially on Super
X right now. Has no idea.
What's going on and see what the resist torture is.
Sure. Because then also it'll teach me
what I'm going to have to be. Nice.
Great. Success and resist torture drugs
and you have a level head and you gain all the benefits and
none of the problems I. Still don't understand what
they're saying. Everything's all mush.
And then I look and I'm like where's where's Vanna White?
And it I'm instantly sober, breaks, sobers me up.
I'm like oh shit, fuck, I lost my high.
What happened? It looks like someone took Vanna
White. Park.
Didn't you park right? Here, Vanna White is stolen
because Jeb lost the keys. I lost the keys.
Where the hell did you lose the keys We.
Well, if I knew where I lost them, they wouldn't be lost,
would? They on the dance floor, that's
it had to be because what, somebody pickpocketed you or
something? Oh Christ, I must wait a minute.
Oh no. Did that fail with consequences?
Look, this happens all the time. I would never have expected it
to happen at the Bubble Cafe, first of all, but at some shady
clubs people will get close to you, get all up on you, start
dancing, and then they pickpocket you and steal you for
everything. Wait, Chad, do you still have
your wallet? Does anyone know who it was?
Well, there was a lady with a pink pigtails.
I don't know if anybody knows her, but she got she, you know,
come to think of it, she did get a little handsy.
OK, here's here's the big thing we need.
We need to discuss actually, not only did we just buy a bunch of
stuff, especially also that money that was given to us.
Oh no, there's money in an ammo case.
All the money. Iona, did you bring that with
you inside? No, why would I bring an?
Ammo case inside. Pink zombie pink.
Zombie didn't have the ammo case.
I left my backpack in there so I don't have any guns.
Oh, nice sidearm. But yeah, I.
Don't what sidearm I don't carry.
You don't carry a sidearm retro. What's wrong with you?
This is Night City. I carry a sidearm.
I carry. AI carry a sidearm.
I've got a shotgun and A and a assault rifle.
I wonder if you see me? I got my.
All right, so basically. Do you still have yours?
I mean, yeah, these things never come off.
I'm not the one who needs to be admonished because I don't carry
a sidearm. I didn't lose the keys.
So true. OK, maybe we do two things at
once. 1/2 of us go try to find the person that robbed Jeb, see
if they're still there, and then the others try to find a way to
track down Vanna White. I can track Vanna White.
I've had a tracer on Vanna White.
Oh, how do you? We since we left the silo the
first time. Oh, that's, that's good to hear.
OK, so is it just like on your phone?
Yeah, well, it's in my Chiron. Yeah, I can follow it via my
Chiron. OK, let.
Me see, I I actually, I turn it on right now.
Find my Ivan. That's funny.
Does it tell me how far? You are using a tracking service
and there's a queue, so you'll find out in a little bit.
Roll for it. Oh nice, yes the system works
fine and you will get a ping back on where it's location and
a live continued update once you get to the front of the queue in
about 5 minutes is what it says. Man, and it had to happen at
this amount of time when carjackings are up 14%.
Yeah but also it's around about when all the clubs close so I
bet you a bunch of people are like oh fuck where did I park my
car suck it's only 5 minutes. No, I'm totally with you on
that. I just it sucks when you're
stuck in the queue having to wait for you're paying to come
back. Right.
OK, while we're waiting for that, Phoebe, you had another
idea. Yes, Jeb, come with me.
OK. Let's go back inside and help me
identify the pink haired girl. Well, they they left.
OK, they left. Left.
Well, yeah, she, she, she walked right out this door right here,
which would make sense because, you know if.
She took the. Car she.
Took the car. Yeah, OK.
Hey, don't the doesn't the bubble cafe like have a a
receipt system? So if she bought anything with.
Digital cameras at all? Let me talk to the owner.
But just to be, you know, we all we, we didn't did the CCTV idea
that there went nowhere. Oh.
That's a good idea, Jeff. Yeah, I thought, yeah.
You know, I, you guys, I'm, I'm really sorry.
I really feel like this is my fault.
OK, Right, Jeb. It can happen to any of us.
From what it sounds, Jeb, you got honey Potters.
You know, it's just, you know, it's just the one thing I really
care about. I got there's, there's three
things I care about in this world more than more.
It's it's, it's my my guns, my bird and my car.
We'll get her back. Thank you guys.
I appreciate. It don't worry, Jeb.
And Sloan flies down, lands on your shoulder.
Oh. Sloan, baby.
Oh, I know. Well, hold on.
Sloan, did you see anything you did?
Well, which way which have you? You see, Vanda?
Why? Where'd she go?
And it's just very complicated directions that you don't quite
get but take a little bit of time.
And in that time, Phoebe heads inside to talk to an Alice.
Hi. This is.
This is kind of awkward, but I. Know song.
I'll change it. I'm sorry.
No, no. Music's great vibes are great,
however unfortunately there seems like there's some shady
patrons that have been making their way in here because we
were robbed. No.
Oh, come on. Yes, was the body.
Blood. Oh no, he was dealing with that
gold guy. Yeah, well, me and my friends
were dancing and my friend Jeb was dancing with this pink
haired girl. Like pink pigtails I think he
said. She stole his keys and took our
car. Yeah, the Maelstrom chick.
All right. Maelstrom Chick.
Yeah. God damn it.
Not them again. OK, OK, She's Maelstrom.
Do we have any? You don't by chance have a
receipt or maybe some CCT VS we can look at.
Yeah, sure. And.
They tap on the computer right in front of them and they spin
it around and they show you the screen.
When did it happen? There's a little scrub bar.
Like 15 minutes ago or so. OK.
They scrub back. Oh, here's where Jeff fell over.
Maybe laughs. And then and Alice looks at you
as you giggle and rewinds it and then does it in slow motion back
and forth. Oh wait, wait, wait.
In the middle of this one. Look, if you slow motion you can
see our hand go in his pocket. Oh shit.
In out. Shake it all up.
Out. I'm sorry.
Oh, man. OK, That she, she's good.
Yeah, she got him. You know, some people would have
to roll for that kind of thing, but if you crit fail, I guess
it's just that easy. Yeah.
OK, well. It happened to me today too.
OK. Well, she's with Maelstrom.
Yeah, that's helpful. They're local, they're a few
blocks away. Do you know where they're near?
Where they're little bits. Further South, near the nearest
the combat zone, the chop stop there.
Sorry, the chop stop is on the other side of the wall.
He probably had to tell Sunrise before they cut that vehicle
into pieces and sell it for parts.
Oh. Boy, OK.
I'm sorry, I'll, I'll make sure the bodyguard does a better job
of vetting people in the future. Or I could fire him.
It's really up to you. You're one of the business
owners. No, no, it's all right.
These things happen. Thanks.
Dale, Dale, thin ice. You let a maelstrom in.
Oh. Fuck not.
Not pink hair. Yeah.
You think I've noticed something like that?
Wait wait, was pink hair formed out?
Nope. And their maelstrom.
Yeah, just pause. Yeah.
Interesting. Thanks and Alice for your help.
A great party. Thanks for throwing it do.
You want any drinks to go? Yeah, you know what I think the
whole crew could probably use, just not the one that was super
had the dwarfs in it. Let's give you.
Another dwarf. Let's get something a little
more tame. And and Alice looks at you and
gives you a little wink. Yeah, I'll put dwarfs in it.
Welcome in protection. If you want to see that retro,
you are very far away. You are very far.
Away through a. Door.
No, I trust Phoebe that they would not go back.
And you know, physically, I don't know, saying that wrong.
Deny me my fuck. Yes, because I haven't taken
Phoebe's done that before with your previous addiction.
So there's a bunch of them that put out, they hand you this
little bag that has a holder for each of the drinks so they'll
handle and then hands you a little another little packet.
Here's some caffeine if anybody needs to know this.
Oh. Thank you.
Phoebe grabs the drinks, walks outside with like walk in.
You hear the ice like climbing across it like and she's walking
with the drinks. All right, so I got some news.
Are you all ready for the good news is OK, I'll start with the
good news. The good news is we got some
drinks for it to go. You got me Dorf, right?
Yes, all. Right.
I'm going to have to have that afterwards.
I have to have a good mind on this, but it's going to be my
treat later. The bad news is the girl who
stole the keys from Jeb is a part of Maelstrom.
Oh fuck. Him again.
Jeb, Jeb, yourself up. Jeb, I didn't know you were such
into board types. Oh, I'm learning.
No, no, it wouldn't like that, did she?
She looked regular. Did.
She look regular. Yeah.
And she's maybe. Maybe she's like a lackey or
something. Maybe they send people in to
infiltrate. Don't look bored out.
It could also. Be like a an initiation thing.
Is it? Maybe or.
Just really well hidden, you know?
As far as what I knew from on the streets like Maelstrom's
very much on the you know, all, all metal flesh is weak type of
thing, so. We had loads of cycle there in
the land. I hope they don't.
Steal. It from us.
The other sort of mid mid news, not good or bad is there is a
maelstrom hideout not too far from here, which is probably
where they went. But it's like teetering the edge
of the combat zone. It's I think it's in the combat
zone and we should probably get there before the morning or
they're going to scrap Vanna white.
No, Jeff, no one's claiming you. But Retro's screen just did go
red. What?
Oh, is that just the drugs? And now Retro's face gone back
to black, but everything else is red.
All right, it's time to move out.
Then let's go. What was that?
What the the the red screen I? Don't know what you're talking
about. Come on, let's go.
I don't know where this queue is, but if we know where the.
I'm gonna ask for us. We got bigger fish.
Getting things at let's just, let's just go.
And it gives you a location on the edge of the combat zone,
just beyond a wall. Wonderful.
So we all have weapons except for Retro who doesn't carry a
sidearm. I'm not going to need it.
Next time on no latency all. Right, looks like we got a ping.
Great, that means we can walk, doesn't it?
We. Got to go and we got to go right
now. Vanna White is going to be OK.
We don't got much time and and and she she going to get.
Hurt. Don't worry Jeb, we are going to
figure this out. Now we got a little bit of time.
That is unbridled joy all. Right.
Well, they're doing that. Phoebe, can you go inside do?
You have a bag for these by chance?
Kind of a lot I'm. Literally clever.
I wish smart like you. Oh, I like where you're going
with this. Oh yes, to all the pain with
alcohol. Well, that's exactly what I
needed. Yes, for Jeb.
So just to be clear, don't get wet.
No. Maybe.
No, Maybe no. Oddly suspicious.
Good. All the jig is up.
It would end any problems yet? We know you're here.
I've got some homemade door. Oh wow, no one ever saw that
coming. All of you.
Good good name. Yeah, see what I'm carrying
right now. The actor.
You're just a little electronic to bass.
