Last time on no latency. Maybe he did a bunch of killing
and and. He's munching carpets right now.
Oh, that's good. I don't see anything wrong with
that. It's not hurting anyone.
I. Wasn't eating the carpet, I was
slurping the. Carpet.
Does this look like cyberwear? What the hell was that?
Well. Yeah, what the fuck is?
That like a voice recorder. Hungry what?
About cyberwear was going to make him hungry.
Wait you guys gave body fuel bad to me?
I keep asking that question. Why would we do that?
Doctors can be vampires. Did we check to see how he died?
Turn off the. He.
Can't know where in here. How do you do and look in Lou,
look what I found everybody. It's an address we should
probably get out of the apartment with the dead body.
You couldn't have known that you can't hold yourself responsible
for something like. That sometimes you have to live
with those choices and it just kind of sucks.
Well, my fellow debutantes, should we just go ahead and head
inside then? Do we go in like, you know, guns
blazing or are we, are we going to like try to talk to this guy
or what's the plane? Well, I don't think that we
necessarily need to go in with guns of blazing, as you've put
it. We might want to do a more
diplomatic approach, my friend. Although I would say it might be
very wise for you to keep a hand on one of those grand pappy
pistols just in case something potentially could go off.
It's always nice to be prepared. I.
Mean you know me. I've always got my My Grand
Pappy's Colt 40 fives right here on my hips where they blow.
Yeah, I suppose just trying to talk to them makes sense.
Probably would be best to have Mademoiselle Vivi to go ahead
and lead with the question since you are probably the most
knowledgeable than the rest of us here for any kind of medical
questions that we would have. Unless again, our debutante Miss
Popescu here thinks that they could add anything from there
time at the Biotechnica. Well, we will see.
We, we still have to take the time to, I don't know, discover
what he has to say. What exactly are we hoping for
here? Are we, are we taking him in?
Are we? You know.
Taking him in a way or like to the police.
I don't know to that guy that was investigating this whole
situation. The four higher.
Detective or do you just like repo his heart or something?
I I don't know. Well, Jebediah, I believe that
we're trying to see if there's any information that could have
somehow LED Doctor Glass to Arthur, and maybe a link for us
to find said doctor before he goes on another murderous
mutating clothing spree as he did before.
I mean, whatever it takes to stop them, I suppose.
I mean, in this way we could, you know, help resolve the guilt
that Mammozelle VV has for their past indirect discretions with
said doctor, as well as create some kind of community goodwill
for our own depravity that we tend to spill around here in our
acts. Yeah.
I'm not sure what he just said there.
That last bit I'd, I'd, that was a little too poetic for me.
I mean, just shoot straight, you know?
Think it's like community? Service.
Yeah, a way for me to atone for what I've done.
Yeah, I guess I can lead with questioning, but yeah, I'm not,
I'm not quite sure how to approach this either.
Do we just ask him straight up? Have you seen Doctor Glass?
What happened with this guy? I honestly think that honesty
and directness are probably the best policy.
OK. And if they get a little or
finicky, we have the heat to back it up.
OK, all right, let's let's do this then.
That's what the kids are calling it now, the heat.
The heat. Ladder port window, All right.
Shut in. The door to the Ripper Docks
building is slightly to the South of where you are.
Don't forget you can use arrow keys if you have your token
selected to move and all. You bet your ass out of an arrow
key and all the time let me go VV.
You enter a little courtyard outside the front.
There is a large advertisement that glows blue and it shows off
the Ripper dock and some of his prices.
He seems pretty reasonable and pretty.
No. Respected.
That this is nice. Looks like this is a well
reputable Ripper dock. Usually they, pun intended, RIP
you off. This is Ripper Rudy.
Ripper, Rudy. Inside this little alcove,
there's a glass awning above you and you can see a little bit
into the night sky. The moon is still hanging and it
reflects off the glass. Across from the front door of
this place, there's a orange bench and a woman asleep,
slumped over, snoring. She's alive, but seems like
she's a little high. The area the the Ripper dock may
be great. The area is not.
So we just, well, we just wait until they show up or.
Hello, Ripper Dock Rudy. You turn to your left and you
see there's just a front door. It's open.
Oh, that, that door. But all right, I guess we'll go
in. You enter into sort of a foyer
room. There's the Ripper's logo on the
ground, a few vending machines, some.
Clients. Some clients waiting and at the
very end of the room on the right North East of the room,
there's a glass door and a little bell that says ring for
service. I'll go ahead and ring it.
A voice comes through the intercom.
Hello. Hi, looking for Ripper doc Rudy.
Rudy's with a patient. Would you like to come and make
an appointment? When's the next available
appointment I. Don't know 10 minutes.
Oh yeah, that's fine. We can wait.
All right, if you're going to have to come through in here, we
need to make a verbal agreement. OK.
Look, it's it's October, everyone's getting weird.
So if you would just like, refrain from having any gun in
hand, please holster your weapon.
Do you agree to these terms? Yes, we agree to these terms.
Do you also agree to not haggle with me in any shape or form for
treatment? Yes, awesome.
She buzzes the door and lets you through.
Can I bring my friends? Yes, by the word.
If you've heard these words, they're a finding contract.
No guns in hand, Please holster your weapon.
I mean, they're holsters. They're holsters.
Yeah, I'm a holster on that. You know as Iona steps into this
foyer room, it is dirty and they have to sanitize clinic.
It's a RIP a duck clinic. The people in here are dirty.
You just pass someone who's done drugs.
It's not nice. Well, Remy does drugs.
And and he's also dirty. Everybody does drugs, he does
drugs. Excuse me?
You roll the five. You're fine, Phoebe, as you walk
through the little airlock area with two vending machines in it.
You walk up to the receptionist, who's sitting at a desk.
Hi. Hello.
Rudy be done in a minute. He's replacing some guy's hand.
Oh, OK, we'll just wait over here.
What's in this vending machine? Roll for it.
Roll me D6. D6. 4 you find 2 items.
Find a can of smash and a medi patch for 250 eddies.
A medi patch 250 eddies. Cures 3D6 health instantly. 250
Eddies. That's cheaper than your Med
pouch, by the way. OK, you know what I'll get?
I'll get that Med patch. Cool, you pay 250 eddies for it
as the vending machine shines and thanks you with a cute but
glitchy voice. The door to Rudy's office and
also his operating room opens and a man steps through holding
his hand. No thanks Rudy, I got, I got to
stop drewing that knife trick, but with a gun.
Jesus. God know what that means.
Thanks for putting me in early man.
Rough clientele here. Here's the 750 eddies that cost
me. Hey pro tip, don't shoot
yourself in the hand bro my. God true pro tip a real pro
information there. All right, let's.
Get this over with. Before we head inside, may I
make a deduction check just to see if there's anything weird in
here? A deduction.
You roll a crit fail. You discover absolutely nothing.
You also fall over and look stupid.
Everybody point and laugh and I try.
It's really funny when you feel over like that.
Well, I well, well, well, I say, I say I understand then of how
this is going to be if you view me as some lower treater treater
trash that you've already told me as.
TV guy, why are you dressed like a beige Charlie Chaplin?
Well. Halloween I was trying to throw
in a bit of style, but fortunately, in some people's
eyes, I'm nothing more than just a dirty piece of trash on the
streets. I Ivy Mendel.
Whatever, dude. I'm Rudy.
Who's next? I'm next and this is my crew.
Entourage best friends. Here for moral support.
Oh, hi. Hi, can we come in?
I I guess what, what treatment are you coming in for today?
No, that's, that's the bathroom, Yes.
I'm. I'm over here.
Hi. Come into my office.
It's in. It's in here.
OK, this is. You step into Rudy's operating
room and office. There are a few refrigerators,
which has some pieces on ice. There's a large operating
machine, bunch of things along the wall roll perception.
Perception. Oh, I.
Actually did. Click twice I'm.
I'm I'm Tracy. I'm just going to give you that
crit because. It's yeah, yeah.
So you roll a crit 33 and what you discover on the far wall is
part of the trash system. Part of the trash system is
there's this hatch in the wall that that pretty much is
seamless, but you see it on the South wall.
It is a an exit to the outside if.
Of course, Locked noted. And also with your high crit,
I'm also going to give you a human perception for free.
Rudy seems pretty cool. He seems kind of chill.
He's a chill guy. He gives you good vibes.
Hi. So what do we do?
What do we get done? Hi.
News cat ears. Actually, oh, oh, oh, you know,
that's all tempting, but actually cat ears would be
really cute. Yeah, actually, what's the cost?
Sure. It's not why we have the.
FBI. I'm just curious what the cost
of cat ears are. I'm sure jumping the rain,
jumping the. Cat ears into the into the
compendium. It gives you nothing.
Well, they're part of a amplified hearing suite, which
is only 100 eddies for the equipment.
So I'd say like what, 3:50 to get them installed?
If you want them to have like, cool light, there'll be another
100. Oh, oh man.
OK, no. Average humanity loss of about
30. That's.
Nothing. I know.
OK. And.
And if you get the light stuff put in like wardrobe and style
goes up by like 1. Man this would go so good with
my my whole look guys. +2 to Perception skill checks, which
include hearing. That's pretty bad enough.
OK, actually, I'm sorry, Ripper. Rudy, we actually, we are here
not for any installments. We actually just have some
questions on a there's been an incident involving potentially
one of your. This is Night City, so questions
cost money. Is that still cool?
Yeah, that's fine. I guess we're technically.
Reasonably. But like information is power.
You know what? I.
Mean, yeah. And I know we have an
appointment and this is your time.
I get it. Fine.
OK. Get that from another medical
professional. Thank you, Doctor.
Appreciate. It we there may have been an
incident involving one of your previous clients by the name of
Arthur. UPI.
No, we just have a personal investment in this.
Oh. Personal investment.
That's funny, 'cause that also I put the eye.
That's very good. I like that.
I am I am genuinely impressed and that was very quick.
You get an inspiration. I just.
Literally did enough that was. So good.
OK, Arthur. Arthur.
Anything significant about him? Wolf Guy.
Wolf Guy? Oh yeah, someone who gave me
that poster. And he points on the wall, and
on the wall is a a poster of a wolf howling at the moon.
It says it says or born to be an alpha.
Born to be an alpha. Weird guy where guy gave him AI
gave him a wolf jaw. Yes, yes.
I'm going to be his payment was was weird.
What was his payment? He would go to pay me and then
the payment would decline. Then I'd immediately get a value
for the same amount. By somebody else or OK, so.
This this guy came in and he was like, he, he was here with this
other guy and they came in and they were like, hey, you just
treated this guy called Arthur something.
And I was like, yeah, my please pay me for my time just like
this, right? And then he paid me like 2000
eddies for some of the guy's blood.
So I gave it to him. OK.
And this person that came in asking for the blood, did they?
And I would describe Doctor Glass, did they look like a
doctor? Yeah, no, I got a picture of him
after I because so he so I gave him the blood.
He went to the bathroom, he came back in, he looked a little
flush and then he asked me to install some cyberwear and I and
I did that and then gave me more money.
Nice guy. Wait, he asked you to install
some cyberwear into him? Yeah.
Oh, what did he get? Nothing crazy.
He got vampire fangs, he got wolvers, and he brought in like
the coolest thing. But I also installed the third
thing. What was the third thing?
Sounded busy. Big penis I.
Got. I got those they're they're very
common, especially near Halloween and surprisingly
Halloween and vampires night got a brain Valentine's Day as well
as as well as the Super vulva. It's just there.
No, we are not looking for any Mr. Stids.
What's? The Super vulva.
It's a regular vulva, but better.
That there is an installment for for femme and mask parts, yes.
Does it like light up? Because that could be fun.
Yeah. Yeah, LEDs.
Yeah, yeah. And there's a there's a little
neon sign that helps you find. I was going to say, is there a
SO? There an indicator.
Light. Like it blinks.
Red. I know.
Oh. Wait, is it?
Technology. Am I right?
Is it true that I hear that it's also made of synth velvet?
Yeah, since skin, it'll vibrate in seven different ways.
It'll undulate its self cleaning and it has a it has a timer.
Aren't the aren't the natural ones also self cleaning?
I I mean, I don't know, I. Don't know they are but like a
real 1 does not. It doesn't have a built in
digital watch so. Oh, that's nice.
Then you can check easily and. See how long you've been down
there. Is it machine washer safe?
No, no, absolutely. You can bathe.
I would hope so. It also has a has a little pouch
for bloody for example. Nature's pocket.
This has gone on far too long, I don't even know how much.
Less and this. Is why you pay in the episode.
This is all Patreon exclusive stuff right here.
No, it's no, it's Halloween. You're welcome everyone.
Halloween. Nurse.
Dick Dick in Virginia jokes. So yeah, I.
Halloweeners. He was.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah,
yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. That guy.
That Yeah, yeah, that guy, that guy, yeah, we're pretty sure
that he he. That's what he looks like.
There you go, right there. Oh.
That is Doctor. Is that Doctor Glass?
That's that's Doctor Glass, Yes. Question for you Rudy.
I've heard that question for you, Rudy.
Did you happen to install Cyber Fangs into Doctor Glass?
Yeah, yeah, no, I said that. Cyber fangs.
Oh my, I'll be honest. And son Divisian is what he
said. Oh.
The OH. Yes.
My memory just deleted like whatever happened 3 minutes ago,
which was which was. That.
I got. I got distracted.
Yep, I got it. I got it.
They're they're, they're really cool.
And I that means we just have to find Doctor Glass.
Did did this Doctor Glass say like anything about where he's
from or where he's going or what he was doing next or any
anything like that? No, but the the guy who was with
him was. It was weird.
Oh, there's a guy with him. Yeah, OK.
Why was that guy weird? Well, you just, you kind of felt
like a cop. And as you hear those words, you
hear at gun shop. Oh.
And there through the window at
the end of the end of this office, which is one way you now
discover that advertisement you were looking at.
Rudy could see you and you're looking through and there's
Roscoe and he's just shot the woman on the bench dead.
He walks over to her and you're now watching him through this,
through this, this one way glass.
He picks up her body, pulls her neck wide and bites into her
neck, drawing blood into his mouth, and then he drops her
body on the ground. Can I go ahead and launch my
cybernetic arm with it's hand attachment through the window
and pull him through? 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 tunes. I'm, I'm sorry, hold on, maybe,
maybe I blacked out, but have you always had a like
retractable cybernetic arm? Yes.
We've had it since going to space.
Gracolam. Oh, do you?
Remember his gracolam? And then he could like make the
hand move on its own if it was attached still.
He's like Big Boss. Oh my gosh. 26 on Cybertek. 26
on Cybertek breaking through this wall was a 29, which is
listed as a legendary action. Yeah, so unfortunately your hand
bounces off the glass. You don't hurt yourself, it just
makes a noise and it there's a moment where you see him as he
gets the door where he stops and he looks directly towards where
you are through the window. You're rolled high enough that
he doesn't realize it's one way. He shakes his head and he
carries on walking inside. You hear 3 gunshots and a
scream. Well, that was second
embarrassment of the night for me.
I would say Mazur Rudi, it would probably be best for you to
bring your employee as well as anybody else inside there,
inside here before said mass murderer comes walking through.
Yeah, we should. Yes, you should get your
employees in here ASAP. Oh, OK.
We should and just take cover. We'll, we'll take care of this.
Sally, it's a 10140. Fuck me should I lock the
airlock thing? Lock.
The airlock thing. Lock the airlock thing.
There's 2 doors that kind of make an airlock, should I lock
that in as he walks I can see him now he's coming towards Hi.
Hi, how are you? Can you lock him in there?
I guess yes, I can. Somebody said do should I do
that? Yeah, that.
Sounds like a genius idea that you're all righty.
Oh, he does not seem happy about that.
This is not very bullet. Oh, he's Yup, he is shooting.
He is shooting the OK, I'm going to fucking leave.
Oh shit. Oh pretty.
There's a the guy with. Yeah, no, I know.
There's a guy with a guy. We watched him.
A fucking murkid. Murkid person.
Yeah, we're fucked. Just just.
Shit. And he starts fumbling with the
with the trash chute. Come on, fucking.
Help me out. And they're trying to open it
and they're not having a good time.
Jeff, I would say it's probably best for you to go ahead and
probably unholster a pistol by now.
Oh, I got my hand. Remember I said that you
couldn't earlier? You fucking?
You totally fucking can. I mean, what are you going to do
about it? Like, sue us, we're going to
shoot. People.
That's exactly what I'm saying cowboy.
You're allowed to do it. Now I am giving you permission.
You. Is he always this dumb?
Yes. Yes, he is.
Press permission to shoot. There you are.
OK, unholstered. Right retro?
Do you help them with the trash shoot at all?
Why yes, I would be happy to assist these people as they did
not call me trash like other people that I thought were
friends of mine. I didn't call you trash, I said
you did drugs. And your your your cohort also
called me dirty. Lots of things are dirty, not
just trash. Well, addition of both has come
up to that conclusion. Well, you know what?
You know what else is dirty? A mind.
And you know what else is a mind?
Strong, smart, deductive. That's you.
Retro rolls a 28 and manages to get this hatch open and now you
have the back entrance to the building open.
I think you've seen too much, says Rothko.
You see him standing next to the desk where the receptionist was.
He's covered in blood from his mouth down as it drips down
across his jacket and shirt. Daddy Glass has called in all
his favors and now it's time for you to bleed.
He's coming towards the room. I would like to make my way over
to the what was that called Vulva Max?
Yes, sure, but. I'm going to make a way over to
yes, I'm going to make my way, way over to the Vulva Max Pro
Plus, make my way and just throw it at his face.
OK, sure, it lights up on the way.
What you roll? Oh.
You pick it up and it gets stuck on your hand.
Oh. Man.
So you now have a a Cybertek piece of cyberwear stuck on the
top of your hand. Everyone is now gathered around
this this hatch area and Rothko is coming towards you covered in
blood. What do you do?
Retro can't do anything. He's dealing with a vagina.
I don't know how to win these. No wonder he's single.
And he's not in the airlock. No, no, He broke out.
You had it out? Yeah.
The airlock gave you enough time to open up the door at the back
of this room. You can run.
Maybe we just, I'm just going to try to shoot him.
Sure. I will pull out my San Rue Hello
Kitty Ultra K assault pistol and.
Shoot at him. Sure.
Hell yeah, Doug, the bullet flies out of the doorway.
His reflex is not above 8. He does not have a scent of
vision because he just doesn't. And you hit him for 13 damage.
You watch the bullet breakthrough his fairly mediocre
armor, if I'm honest. Did you do armor piercing or
not? No, I did not use armor
piercing. All right.
And he loses a decent amount of health.
That's 13 damage. Very, very good.
Did you cause a crit? No.
And he keeps walking towards you.
Do you shoot again? Yes, I will shoot again.
Oh yeah. Hitting him for 21 you only
cause 6 damage. You've played his armor though,
because he didn't have very good armor to begin with, and he
takes a little bit more damage walking towards you.
He's creepy. Well, he's he's a vampire.
So what do we? Do well, he he's he's he kind of
made himself a vampire. It's a it's a little different,
right? Right.
Get. Jeb, you can't take him out.
Jeb. Yeah.
Jeb, you're just holding guns. Bang Bang.
I mean, I was just, I was just waiting.
Everyone else was doing something I didn't.
Want to Bang Bang Jeb? Bang Bang really should have had
this closer. There it is. 24 and 28
respectively. Yeah, you hit him enough that he
goes under half health and you watch as you are 7.
Oh. One of your buttons, one of your
buttons, one of your bullets clips through the door frame, a
bit of the door frame. This metal piece spins off and
then jabs into his shoulder and he falls down from.
Oh, you little shit. He tries to shoot you.
Oh boy. From the ground Dodger 17.
Evasion, right? Yeah.
Where is that? It's in under fighting.
Don't worry, I got it. 23 Yes, you dodged the first bullet.
Very well done, Very very good. He goes to shoot you again.
Crit 23 Not enough. He rolled A crit.
You have to roll a crit to evade a crit.
You can hit 4 you your armor gets abladed by 1 and you lose 1
HP. So not right.
Ow. He rolled really bad on damage.
Look at that 2 ones. It happens.
Iona or Retro, either of you may go next.
I'll let Iona. Oh whoop.
How? What?
OK, whoop. How?
22 You hit him for 12 damage, he takes a bullet and he bleeds out
more on the ground. You know he'll kill you.
You know he'll get you, he'll take you, and he'll eat your
flesh and drink you bone dry. OK, he.
Should do again. You hit him the 21, he has six
health left and you blow a hole through his heart.
Blood pours around him and he dies on the ground.
I immediately covered Jeb's eyes.
Jeb, Rob, resist torture drugs. You should have plugged my nose.
Well I still have. I'm full of a Max on my hand.
Can he just smell that? Honestly, it smells great.
You do, you roll 16, you do not have to eat any of this flesh.
And there is now and and this my miniature combat is over.
You have killed Roscoe and he is now covered in red blood.
Well, that was I'm, I'm, I'm just going to say it easier than
I thought. Yeah, fuck you, sparkles.
Yeah, get him. You know what, Ripper?
Rudy, I feel like that, you know, we just saved your
establishment here. Maybe we can consider that
payment. Sure.
Good. Here's your former Max pack.
Thank you because that would be mine.
Wow, well I guess I can close this so.
When you close this to the trash here.
Thanks for opening. Appreciate it a gentleman.
Anything to do of course, right. By the way, Ripper, Rudy, you
wouldn't happen to have any kind of paperwork or any kind of
receipt that potentially could give us information of said the
vampire here. Or Doctor Glass says he's been
nomenclature that accompanied this cyber cycle here.
He didn't fill out his address on the form.
You'd have to look it up. Or, I mean, if any of you've
ever already been to his apartment, they'd probably know.
I have been to his apartment. We could.
I remember how to get there. You've been to his apartment.
Yeah, that's where I performed this whole operation on him.
Oh, OK. What are you hoping to find
there? Him maybe?
Or at least some information that would lead us to another
potential hideout you might have had.
Yeah. Phoebe.
Yes. Are we going to kill the
vampire? I I think we need to kill the
vampire. Phoebe can get their Doctor
Helsing on. Yes, actually, yeah, maybe I
transitioned from Doctor Frankenstein to Doctor Van
Helsing. I think we need to put an end to
this. I'm right behind you.
OK, so we could go to his apartment.
Is there anything else we think we need to do or get?
I mean are we for serious treating this like as if it is a
real vampire and following the Lord said for that and we need
to buy sticks and silver and such.
What do you do you think is he going to like heal?
That's a good point, though, I didn't even think about that.
But is he do we do we know is is he?
I mean I I hate to use the word infected but is he infected with
body feel bad or or? Body fuel.
Scan or something. Oh.
I have no idea where you guys are.
No, no, no. It's all right.
This you probably shouldn't listen to this.
We we're gonna we're gonna go to the band.
Thank you. Thank you, Ripper.
Actually, can I schedule an appointment for next week for
cat ears? Oh, 100% yeah.
Yeah. No, after this adventure, come
on down. Thank you I'll.
Give you a discount for for for saving my receptionist.
Thanks. Thanks, Ripper.
Rudy, we'll be in touch. Cool.
I'm going to call the morgue because there's some dead people
and you guys have a great Halloween.
Thanks. Happy Halloween.
Yeah, my, I'll see you after Halloween for those years, so
good. Good luck killing this guy I
guess. Before we go.
I'm going to not tell people that that feels like a thing
that I shouldn't tell him, right?
Yeah, no, I'm not going to tell anyone.
They're not actually listening to us.
This is fading, isn't? It before we leave, I would like
to check the body. Potentially there is a clue
there for us. We're all for it.
What's the clue? I don't know, I'm looking for
the 10. Oh, oh, I see.
So my mistake, you didn't know what the clue was here.
You find a little E paper note tablet.
He's been writing notes about Arthur.
He's been following him for a while.
He was not employed by a family to find the hot dog guy.
He was employed by Doctor Glass to keep an eye on him.
You also find an apartment key. He had an apartment in that
building. Oh, the same building as Arthur
was. Yes.
OK, well there is a second place we can always check if the one
for Doctor Glass doesn't work out, but let's just.
I hope we don't have to. What are we doing?
Just all standing around. Let's go.
Let's head into the van. I said I was right behind VV and
VV haven't started moving yet. I'm.
Sorry. You step through the rest of the
building. In the foyer, all three people
who are waiting are dead. Their blood was sucked from
their body. Oh.
So there are 5 dead bodies here. Oh, is that all?
No, no, no, that's not all. No, it's right.
We the I made a little speech earlier to you VV about only
being able to be judged with about you know, on the
information that you had. This ain't us right that no.
Jeb, did you know that they were a vampire?
No, I didn't know that. Did you know?
I mean, I knew. I mean, I did know that they
were outfitted with things that would make them appear as though
they were a vampire, but oh, this might be bad, that those
deaths might be on us. I didn't know any of that, so I
feel in the clear. I'll just get inside now, OK?
We'll pile into the van and BB inputs the Doctor Glass's
apartment into the SAT navigation of Vanna White.
It's in the corporate district. You're going to have to go all
the way N Jeb, roll the jargon check there's.
A 29. 29 do a great job driving through the streets, avoiding
any ambushes, any traffic. You shoot your way across a
river, across a bridge, and park yourself outside this
ostentatiously tall building. It is flat, stone like, and
there are two elevators on the outside of the building.
That's it all. Right VV, Why don't you lead the
way? What units are you in?
Yeah, let me. It's been a bit.
I let me jog my memory. You check your notes on your
little agent and you remember that he had the penthouse of
this building. Both elevators go up.
There's elevator one and elevator 2.
All the way at the top, we got to go to the penthouse.
So. Oh, either one should take us up
there. Both.
Oh, so both of them do OK. OK, let's go up.
Sure, elevator, what it is? You push the button on the
elevator and it beeps saying that it's locked.
Last time, Vivi, you were expected.
OK. I didn't think this part
through. We might not be able to get up
there unless we're invited. Unless.
We like a vampire. I get it.
Yeah, except reverse. Unless there's a way we can just
override this elevator, I look to our dapper friend.
Oh, oh what? Why is everybody looking at me?
Cause 'cause you're the you're the professional nerd.
Cause you are a very smart individual lad that would be
able to help us. I'm trying to get in your
character and I'm failing horribly.
I think you're doing a great job.
I I. Think you're doing a good job at
the? Moment too, Sir, good Sir, if
you wouldn't mind just taking a look at the panel here and
perhaps your whimsical ways might be able to override it.
Yeah. Only for you, Mademoiselle, just
because you have treated me with respect compared to most of the
others around here. Do my best.
A Crit 38. Wow.
Now here's the thing that you've got retro As you fiddle around
with this machine, you discover that there is a drone in one of
these elevators. You look through the camera, you
can see there's a little cleaning robot sitting in
elevator #2 elevator one. However, it's open for business.
There's nothing in it. And with your 38, you've also
managed to get access to this elevator without letting anyone
know in the building that you have done so.
Which means at the moment, Doctor Glass has no idea that
you are here. You also find that there is a
staircase as well. It is electronically locked and
sealed perfectly on the outside of this building, but you can
get access to it if you decide. Well friends, I have found that
there is a drone in elevator 2. It just so happens to be sitting
there, which does seem a little scrupulous at the moment.
However, elevator one is unlocked and able for us to get
up. Nobody knows that I've been able
to get in. I've also found that there is a
secret stairway that leads all the way up to the penthouse as
well. jabba.com. Yep, it might work in our favor
to have a stealthy rogue asset to climb said stairs to to do a
pincer attack, as you might say on the Fair Doctor.
Well, I am known to be quite good at climbing stairs so.
The stealthiest, like the night. You look at to be you open up
the stair door, Jeb, and you look at the sign that tells you
what each of the floors has and you look at and there's like,
you know, regular residence floors one to 10, advanced
residence 11 to 20, Super deluxe 21 to 40.
And. Mega Deluxe.
Cool. Yeah.
Mega Deluxe Super Corpo Edition, 41 to 60.
And 61 gods. 6061, 360 apt 360 apartments, they all have a 360
view that rotates and very, very above all of that at the very,
very top it says Penthouse 69. Nice.
Nice.
Boop. Wait, no, I'm, I'm not.
I'm not going to take the other. I'm I'm going 69 floors up on
the stairs. Are you going to climb 69?
So those those would be useful on the way down.
That would be useful. Hold on.
Actually, I got an idea. Grapple.
Grapple gun. How?
Far is the grapple gun.
It goes, I think we talked about it was like 30-30, something
like that. So it's just to say like 3
stories. So I'm just going to go three
stories at a time. Sure.
Fucking what? I'll I'll let you do that 30.
You roll it 3 * 3 times. I'll let you roll it three
times. So roll your grapple gun three
times. Let me give you 1 because you've
been missing one for a minute. The grapple gun, yeah, I just
always just roll my my heavy pistol.
Yeah, let me get it. Wait, hold on.
A regular Stairmaster Jeopardy. 2327 and 28, you do a fantastic
job of shooting your way up and it'll take you about the same
amount of time as it will take them in the elevator.
Shoot, shoot bad, Shoot bad. That's that's a slow ass
elevator. You will pile into this
elevator. Bendel, VV, Iona, and Retro get
in the elevator and you ascend up to the penthouse.
As the elevator rises, you can see Jeb over the radio, making
athletic noises as he skips and jumps and grapples his way up
the stairwell. Can I get a couple of those?
Yeah, those are. By Athletic.
Places and in the elevator as you ascend.
This is a very tall building, and as it ascends through the
mist of the evening, it passes through that thin red haze,
pushing through the clouds themselves.
There you see the city below you, bits of it poking through
the mist as the full moon reflects off the top of the
glass buildings of the north of Night City.
At this height, the sky is very clear and you ascend to the top.
When we get to the top, if he's there, we ask questions first.
We don't just kill him. I think we deserve some answers
as to why he's done all of this all.
Right, baby. And then we should kill him.
Yeah, I, I, I also agree with Mademoiselle VV because from
what we've had to deal with this particular nasty doctor, who's
to say that there isn't some kind of alternative plan that
they might have that as soon as we kill them goes into action.
We have now no idea how to be able to stop it, much less the.
I think we go for the heart, his heart.
Yeah. We have to take out Glenn's
heart. I mean we are treating this as
if they are a vampire correct? But refresh me on vampire lore.
If I was to say destroy the brain would that also work?
Or does that do they still live? Well, the if if we if we were
looking at body fuel bite, we have now learned that to kill
someone with body fuel bite, you have to drain all their blood
so. Or the the brain will grow back.
Maybe. I mean, that would make sense,
wouldn't? It no, no, that's.
Virus in the blood that that re forms.
You'd say virus, I say symbiotic destruction.
Well, construction, as long as you've got there to feed it.
Says Vandel as they step out into the into the hallway.
As you get there, Jeb, it's not in the hallway, Jeb.
You have found yourself at the top of the stairwell and the
door at the top is locked. Well, I guess we can try to do
this the the quiet way and if not, then I'll just have to
breach and clear. So let me just get.
In Jed, remember we're being quiet, so don't do anything
crazy. Vandell I was working on a quiet
bit. I'm just saying if that quiet
didn't work then I'm prepared to do what's necessary to get.
Just come up here, what's the problem?
Are you guys already in there? Well, we're in the hallway.
Where are you? I'm on the side door.
Are you in the? Stairwell.
I'm on the stairwell. Retro.
Queue. I walk over and I open the door.
It's locked. Wait, hold on, hold on.
Am I is the door that I'm in front of lead to the You don't
know. You don't know.
OK, OK, OK. Well, I unlocked the door.
All right, roll for it. 22. Yes.
Pick lock. You open up the door silently
and the door opens and you see Jeb in the doorway, sweaty.
Well, hey, Jeb. Oh.
Hey, Oh well, I guess I could put my my lock pick away.
So yeah, I. Thought this would have led to
the the place you know directly, not.
Not to the hallway. Well, you know, now we know we
probably should have taken a look at the little plaque that's
on the side of the stairwell that has the evacuation route.
Probably would have told us, but I'm just going to be honest.
Well, I mean, I, I thought there was a black.
Usually there's black. I didn't see one.
Oh well. Did any of you see a?
Plaque there that said that. Someone should have reported
them to, you know, breaking code.
You got to have those evacuation wraps in case of a fire.
You ever heard of the Triangle Shirt Factory incident?
Yes, Jeff, we all know of the Triangle Shirt Factory incident.
It's something that we're all taught back in what was it,
elementary school? All right, everybody, let's try
and be quiet outside this place. Do.
Do we? Should we just knock?
I think we should try to just enter in slowly and quietly.
OK, stealthy it is. To the north of the hallway,
next to two vending machines, is the door to the penthouse
apartment. Oh, maybe.
Yeah. That's not good.
Not the best stealth. Oh, there you are, not the best
stealth. No, you fall over the rug and
you take 4 HP damage as you feel.
It's very embarrassing and you and you make a noise and you
hear someone in the apartment move.
Freak. I think I heard somebody in
there OK. I'm going to go help Phoebe get
up just because I know the embarrassment when that kind of
happens and everyone just kind of sits and laughs at you all.
Right, you, you. As you get up, you look up and
there is now a security camera pointing at you and Phoebe.
You are now in the view of the doorway security camera.
OK, I think our cover is blown. They haven't seen me, Iona or
Jeb. Just maybe the two of you knock
and then as soon as he opens the door, we bust our way in.
Look, he knows me, so if it is him, maybe I'm just here to
visit again. I did perform surgery on him.
So like, I guess I'll just, I'll just pretend I'm here to visit.
Next time on no latency. And then we'll be on the other
side of the door like, you know. I'll.
I'll knock. Jeb, it's all all right.
I'm I'm back here too. I'm just behind the vending
machine. So they don't know that Iona
Bendel or you Jeb are outside there's.
A lot going on right now, Van Dale.
It didn't have to be this way. We.
Fucked up my suit. Though man gotta sprain my
ankle. They're trying to kick this Link
we. Should probably think of some
other strategies. Shoot ahead of where you think
they're going to be. Doctor Glass is unaware that I
am there. Great shot, Iona.
Told you some of that shit was shoddy.
Thank you. Thank you.
I don't usually make my shots, so that felt good.
Oh. Shit.
You got to tell me what was in that dark.
He's going to heal himself and this is not going to be as easy
as we think. I don't know what to do.
Can we like RIP his head off or something?
I I also like the head approach. We take his head.
All right, I guess I'll do the smashing then.
All right, he's not looking good.
Someone smash. Someone grab.
Cut his head off, you've got a sword.
Oh no. We've got a stored.
