The last time on no latency. 6 suspects and a few clues.
I think I just got scalded with that hot tea.
Ow, there are a lot of people in this room who would pay a lot of
money for that kind of information.
What do you know about Jessica? Why would she do it?
Steele was going to leak the information that Jessica
supposedly quote, UN quote hid. Motive is motive is motive.
Poor Gabriel Steel may have fallen victim to somebody with a
San Devastin. Tell him that Jessica told us
everything and that they're the one who did it.
Someone with a San Devastin killed steel.
But you, Hunter, you have reason.
Jessica, you said this would get to be smooth.
Fucking bitch. And I would have gotten away
with it too. That went for these.
Pesky kids. Uh.
Oh. Let's get her.
Golfer initiative Vivi. Care to join me behind the bar?
Yes, I think that's a good idea. Now, just just to make sure, if
you were taking off your clothes, you would have seen
that you had a thing on your back, right?
No, darling, I had a skin graft over it.
Oh shit. See Jeb?
I mean, I get that you might want to see me in a state of
undress, but right now it's maybe a little in a prime
parade. You got me there.
If you have something to say, Corpo no.
Just the Jeb is an idiot. I'm sure you found that out
already. Oh no, that's obvious.
It's fucking Peaches, baby. But also, like however
fashionable you guys are, I'm going to fucking kill you.
Oh shit. I don't like this.
Retro. What's?
Your. Reflex.
I believe they already beat me in initiative cuz they got a 21
+ 5. That's 26, my dude.
Yes, I just wanna know what your reflex is. 5.
All right, cuz Jessica's currently got a reflex of eight.
Who saw that coming? I can't even see them coming.
Yeah. Wait Reflex of eight.
Yes. Hey, same.
Jessica pulls out her Millitech Fox Duel Ammo pistol.
With incendiary ammo in it, you see the tip of the gun let off a
little flame as she flicks it around, flicks it into the other
hand so fast it almost looks like it teleports it all.
Gives you a little shiver as you realize she's damn fast.
And she moves very, very quickly up onto the stage, right
parallel to Retro, pulls out this gun and fires 15.
Hitting you. Oh.
Shit. You are hit with incendiary
ammo, my guy. Oh.
No. That's 13 damage than your armor
and retro is set on fire. Oh my gosh, no.
Oh shit. Oh shit.
I'm trying to. I'm burning it up.
I'm flaming. Holy fuck.
Jesus. OK, we got to help him.
So retro, then staggers across the room with what throw a
bottle of water at him? We got to put out the flames.
You are behind the bar. That's actually a viable idea,
Iona. Shit, you're right.
You got the little hose, the little hose that they fill the
cups. With and Jeb, you've grabbed the
attention with your little hose comment because behind the bar
they've got hose for different kinds of drinks.
And switching the ammo type in her gun, she switches it to the
other hand again almost instantly and attacks Jeb,
hitting him. That's a 20.
Hitting him with the armor piercing and dodge.
Oh, oh. Blading your armor by two if you
cannot dodge. Oh my goodness, yes, 21.
You take a sidestep and the bullet flies across you and hits
the ground. Whoa.
Hi, Careful, you almost got me. Oh, very good there, Jeb.
Oh, this is fun. I shouldn't be in the middle,
though. Oh shit.
Jessica gets annoyed at her weapon, One successful hit and
one unsuccessful hit. Dang they.
To finish off their turn, they slide across the stage and hit
retro in the back of the body with their.
Got it out for Retro. Well, I suppose he is the one
that can kind of screw up her. Cybernetics, right?
You're right. Why wouldn't they go after me?
I'm smoking after all. As Jessica slides across the
stage. Oh, you think you can be lit
here? Haha.
She slices her cane across you and unfortunately misses
drastically. This does, however, although it
does not hurt you, cause you to fall off the stage.
Whoa. Can I?
Can I do my action as I fall? Absolutely, because it's your
turn. So you're falling off the stage
as your turn begins. So since it's my turn and I've
got this brand shiny new shotgun that I purchased my K Tech
Hammer, I'm going to go ahead and I'm going to use its special
fire and launch a smart rocket directly in their face.
See. 24 + 9 cool. So as I fall off the stage, I
might they. Get to a bed, they.
Do. You know, it's the nature.
And they've got a. They've got a they've got to
send it busy and make it to it, yeah.
Send Destin. Oh.
Still. In a gloves, if you had, I mean
like, let's let's be honest, that's a tough person to beat.
They rolled a 21. Yeah, baby, I got.
This. 33 that's I'm getting to that.
I'm just saying, like in terms of evasion, that's pretty good.
But. Your crit beats this as your
weapon. Fires towards Jessica.
She is unable to avoid your hit as she puts one of her arms up
to protect herself. As I fall off, launch the rocket
directly out of my new tech hammer, I think, pushing myself
even further away from the stage as it explodes.
Who's on fire now, bitch? And then I'd like to use my
movement to roll on the ground and put the flames out.
What do you want me to roll for that?
No, no, no, that's that's fine. You now can't do anything else.
OK, but the Flames are off though, right?
Yep, and you receive because you were on fire. 9 damage.
Damn, because your armor is abladed by one and you smell
like something that was just on fire.
I just made this suit. Your lovely suit is now singed
in the front because of the way the fire burned is now a
different color than the back, so it's no longer formal wear.
Took me like an hour to make. Vendel is going to use their
power leg to jump onto the stage and come swinging down with
their excess glass sword on top of Jessica Night.
I don't care how fast you are, I'm going to fuck you.
Up Vendel jumps into the air, cascading as they pull out their
sword midair doing a flip and landing on the ground.
Do a flooding. Missing.
Missing Mr. Carrigan's now across the room.
For whatever reason, the doors have locked to the outside so
the guards outside can't get in. You know, this is one of those
moments where you realize that Jessica's a net runner.
She's locked down this room. So it's just all of you in here.
There is no cavalry. Jessica looks down at Vendel
with their sword slashed through this carpet.
I'm not locked in here with you. You're locked in here with me,
baby. Well, it's a good thing this
sword has a rate of fire of two because I'm on the ground ready
to slice your ankles. What?
What?
They said I rolled a crit. Wow.
OK, so Jessica rolled A-24 on evasion.
As they shift through the air, you see the green flash as they
try to avoid this sword. The thing is, Vendel rolled a
28. So in the middle of this green
splash, you see it's stutter as a sword slashes through the
front of her bodice and armor, and one of the the leather
straps flies off and a spray of blood cascades across the other
direction, causing 13 damage and she staggers backwards.
That was cool. I I sliced when they were going
to be, not where they were. Thumbs You're amazing.
Vandal. Keep going.
Thank you. Bendel stands there on the stage
with this this aura of awesomeness as they rolled a
crit. Should I stay on the stage?
Or should I? I don't know that you have very
much movement left. You can try and roll off if you
can. Oh, that's right.
I did like a jump and things I'm going to hide behind this dead
body. It's not going to do much.
No. Hunter stands up and she pulls
out a Sanru Hello Cutie Ultra K8 Assault Pistol.
Get it? Get it?
And she points it at Jessica. This is all your fault.
But now, unless I help you, I'm gonna go to fucking jail and
die. She turns and points the gun at
Vendel and pulls the trigger dodge.
Vendel dies. 1717 Does Vendel have a reflex of eight or
higher? Yes, they do.
No 15 not enough. They get hit with some basic
ammo going to be honest, it's just a basic bullet and it
causes that's three D6 damage at 13.
Fuck. She then turns around and points
it at Retro on the ground, fires the other bullet.
So just to be clear, Hunter is like a a bona fide podcaster.
Right, yes. Yes.
I can't imagine that they're like.
Very strong and or combat capable this is.
Declaring and pops up above a box at the back of the room.
It is not wise to underestimate people based on the thing that
they do. For instance, you are a cowboy,
but it seems you might be badass.
And those things are extremely comparable.
Well, it's difficult. Do not judge book via its cover.
Do I look like a cat person? Yeah.
I mean, I look over at whoever's closest to me.
I guess Iona. It does kind of seem like a cat
person, though darling, he does seem like a cat person.
Retro, you don't have a reflex of overrate, do.
You I do not. Okay.
Well, one of the benefits of this moment is Hunter only.
Managed to roll a 13, which is not enough to hit you at that
distance that you'd require a 15 because you're about 7 yards or
more away. But a bullet does fly past you
as you look at this media. Standing in front of the
collector as she is missed. She thought that was going to be
a lot more useful and she considers herself for a moment.
Jumps behind a row and then grabs the collector and puts a
gun to his head. Your friend, right?
Get off me. Fuck him up.
See, what I was going to say is that I thought that maybe we
could just take Hunter down, you know, tackle them to the ground
and, like, restrain them and not have to kill them.
But now look what you done, Hunter.
Now we're going to have to fucking kill you.
This is ain't on nobody but yourself.
VV is going to. Look.
To Hunter Look, put the collector down.
And we can figure this out. There's no answer me NCPD will
actually give a shit about this because there are rich people
involved. The collectors did nothing.
If you want to shoot, shoot me. Shoot Retro.
Shoot out. Don't shoot me.
But he's innocent.
Yes. No, I'm innocent.
I'm just here for the lols. And I'm going to make my way
toward retro. To.
Ears hinged, so that would be nice.
Try to help them a. Bottle of liquor.
Yes, and I grab a couple of things at the bar.
I grab like a large tarp that I can use to douse some of the
flames if they're still there, and then some liquid to pour.
Is alcohol fun? I don't even know it's alcohol
is very I'll bring. Alcohol grabbed 2 bottles of
water. Yeah, from behind the bar.
Now because you did this very quickly, I'm going to have to
ask you to roll for that because you know what looks like water?
Vodka. So we're going to work out if
you grabbed vodka. Or water.
Yep. Yep, Yep, please.
Let it be vodka. Classically, at a bar, the
containers that hold them look very similar.
You forget that the person working behind the bar the
entire evening is not actually a bar person, so everything could
have been put back in the wrong place.
Yeah. Luckily before VB jumped over
the bar to head over to Retro. Smart enough to smell the liquid
rolling is 17. You've got water.
The fast Buffalo was really not too strong.
Very strong. Oh, that'll sit.
So you head over to retro and you douse out the last few
flames for a free action. Because that's nice.
I liked. That okay you all right, Retro.
Yeah, let me get a sip of that. It's water.
OK, And I pull out my Sanru. Hello Cutie.
And I pointed between the OK, well, the clerk is being held
hostage, so I don't want to do anything.
I'm just going to point it at Jessica.
Look, stand down. Oh baby, you think I listened to
my doctor? Clearly not.
You have a San Devastin. Those things are deadly and
dangerous. Oh God.
Man. I finally get a cool weapon and
I roll like shit. It's got a rate of fire up too,
so your first bullet fires off and skids past her, sticking in
the wall on the other side. Did you just roll two 10s in a
row? I did just roll two 10s in a
row, God damn it. God damn it.
Maybe maybe we should get you some training chips cuz.
Well you should put some experience at handgun not.
I'm not. I'm not.
I'm not being the GM to tell you.
I'm not doing this as like a like a any audience.
When you're building your character, handgun is important.
If you have a gun and you know your hand anyway, great job.
In this moment of both of the bullets flying, however much you
miss, it still feels. Way better in your house.
It does. Your old medium pistol had this,
like, clicky thing about it. Whenever you moved it, it had
some paint chips on it. And of course, when it finally
died, it kind of. But this thing feels like it was
handmade by a Rolls Royce engineer from like 1984, back
when they gave a shit about that kind of stuff.
It feels great and as you. Put it in your hand.
You start to feel it like shift slightly in your hand weight and
balances inside the handle because you paid so much for it.
The gun's still getting used to you, but you feel some servos
move and some weights move, like on really expensive PC mice, and
now it's a little easier to handle.
Do you do anything else, Phoebe? I'll stay there.
I'm gonna just yeah, I assisted Retro.
I tried to shoot and that's about it for me.
I know you're behind the bar. Iona is buying the bar.
I'm also gonna pull out my Sanru Hello cutie and then realize
that I'm not comfortable using it because I just heard the
sounds that Vv's made. I have to get used to that.
So I pull out my regular heavy pistol.
My plus 8 heavy pistol. And as I do so, I grab the
original bottle that Vivi smelled and I throw it at Hunter
and I shoot it so that it splashes all over her.
I love it. And the collector.
Whoop seeds. Because she is holding the
Collector currently. Oops, I did my best sometimes
I've. Got a few eggs, I'm going to to
throw the thing. So you're trying to cover Hunter
in alcohol, correct? Because I do have.
Oh, who's got the incendiary? Is that the hello cutie?
I do. I do have flame gun here.
All right, I'm going to throw the bottle.
Throw the bottle. It's OK.
I'll go in and I'll, I'll try to grab the collector and get them
out of there. We'll do a stop, drop and roll
with a hug involved. Stop, tackle and roll that.
That one's better. Put that one in.
Cut the other one. I don't have very much in melee
weapon, but I'm going to use it. What the fuck?
That's a. 20 on the Hunter You know what Hunter doesn't have a
Reflex of Eight. They have a Reflex of seven.
So they can't dodge this. As you've projectile to this
object across the room, it flies and they're facing the other
way. And it smacks them on the back
of the head, smashing and covering their whole back in
alcohol. And you see them shiver as the
alcohol hits the air and makes the whole of their back of their
neck cold. This causes her to let go of the
collector. The collector does the thing
from Miss Congeniality. Oh, Solar Plex is instep nose
groin sing. Yes, I saw that in one of my
favorite movies. He manages to get away.
Moving over to a different stand, Hunter is now on their
own, now covered in alcohol. It didn't cause them much
damage, but she turns around to look at Iona and Iona pulls out
a flame gun. Cuz you hit.
That's fifteen. I pull out the flame gun that
looks like I've loaded a flare into it, and as a hunter turns
to me. Light up, bitch, and I shoot the
flame gun. Please excuse my French, but
this bitch lights up. Is set on fire.
So now Hunter's been fully set alike, causing 7 damage.
She's not happy about that. She's on fire.
She's. So hard how?
Many versions of songs can you sing about being on fire.
Shook somebody called that one one I am gardening on the dance
floor. As a reaction, she tries to move
around or as hiding under one of the chairs in the room.
And in this moment you hear like a banging on the wall.
You realize that rain's not in the room, and it seems like
she's banging on the wall to try and get out of the room where
you had all of your clues, etcetera.
They walked in there during this presentation and now has been
locked in by Jessica's hacking of these doors, meaning that
however strong rain may be, she can't help you with this fight,
which is frustrating. But because Iona's now set
Hunter on fire, freed the Collector, and now it's Jeb's
turn. So yeah, the Collector is not on
fire. The Collector got away from
Hunter before I set Hunter on fire.
OK, great. Then I guess I won't have to
stop, tackle and roll. Well.
Look at the airs, Hunter. And Jeb pops up from behind one
of the chairs that he was hiding behind.
So the thing was, I was gonna let you go.
I was gonna try to convince. For the rest of these fools to
you know, just take it easy on you're nothing but a bona fide
podcast. Those those people that have
podcasts, they they just do it for the attention.
We know they don't really got any other skills.
You. Definitely have the face for it.
And so I was going to let you go, but now you took this
innocent man hostage. We've been we've been trying to
tell you that he was an innocent man.
I'm going to shoot one of us instead.
I'm also on fire. Yeah, so listen through the
blazing flames around your ears. Listen close through the Yes.
I guess they're burning up the charts now.
Hey, oh. Wow you.
Get still. In. 18 and 19 -, 1.
Still in 18. Still in 18.
So what happened with It's a Crip fail.
So instead of using one bullet, it ends up using two, wasting
some of your ammo. The other bullet flies off to
the side sticking in the wall, but you do hit her.
So for this crip fail, it wastes an ammo.
It has gently double fires. Oh, Yep.
I see what happened that that last, that last bullet there,
the firing pin wasn't quite in there.
Yeah, that's on. I'll give it a clean afterwards.
Boy, you're happy, Hunter. How's that feel?
I'm on fire and you just shot me.
Yeah, you want to rethink your life choices.
Maybe a podcast wasn't you're the best idea.
I can't have a podcast. I have a show on the garden.
And potato, potato. What do you do with your other
show? Oh.
OK. Oh, you did the flip flop, so
you roll a 25 hitting hunter as they're on fire.
But this time it doesn't seem to do a lot of damage.
You just see a piece of their flaming armor fly off.
No. Well, alright, who's next?
27 damage to all that. You roll badly there.
Yeah, I did not great. Not great.
Jessica straightens up. Well, baby.
And she dashes across the room, headed for retro and VB.
Shit. She jumps onto the wall, down to
the ground and tries to hit Retro with her cane.
Question. Hit me.
Do I still have the ability to use a bonus action?
I would say normally yes, but Jessica rolled A crit 28 so
normally yes, but in this time no and you are smacked with this
cane unless you can dodge A28. It is a melee attack.
So I was gonna have my popup shield shoot out of my arm.
Oh no, you can't do that here, not with the.
If it was a regular hit, I would let you, but because of the crit
now. OK, I need to dodge.
After beat 28. Yeah, OK.
Easy. It's easy.
Yeah, it's totally. Easy 15.
Not enough, my friend. And she causes 9 damage to you.
Probably only a blade in your armour at this point, but still,
it's enough of a distraction as she pulls.
Her gun out, flaming tips still giving up a little bit of fire
and. She shoots you.
B 19 Oh my God. She shoots me.
I can't. I can't dodge that.
I don't have reflux for that. Oh yeah, that's right.
She also isn't shooting you, She's shooting VV VV.
You've been hit with an incendiary bullet of 19, causing
6 damage, but of course setting you on fire.
Yeah. Shit, shit, shit.
Damn it. Good thing I brought.
It is so good. I I have the twerk that I
brought from the the bar. You just.
I'm going to try to douse my douse my flames on my term.
Jessica smiles at you. Oh, I guess this party is lit
after all. I think you're hugely a joke,
man. That's same joke, only half the
points. Fuck you, cowboy.
That was a that was an SSX. Tricky.
Reference for anyone out there keeping track.
God, I love SSX. Tricky.
Thank you. Oh shit.
I'm on fire. Oh shit.
Bonus action. I would like to go ahead and put
engage my popup shield from my cyber arm chunk, pull it out,
slam it down, hopefully landing on Jessica Nut's foot.
Oh, OK. Cool.
Oh. Something cuz I'm gonna roll the
baby so she won't be able to move with that San Devastin.
I mean without the without the sand.
Ever. So you think I could walk in
nails. Heels, honey.
Be at 20. You're trying to pin someone who
literally can move faster than you can blink.
Yeah. It does not work.
She shifts her foot out the way in a tiny green flash like
motion and you see her leg leave trails.
Through. The air.
It looks really cool. Well, I'm gonna put my back up
against the popup shield now and peek my head out to see that
they're still there and. Switch modes to the shotgun and
I'm gonna take a shot at that knee. 18 You pull out the gun,
push it over there. You cock your gun, put it over
the top of this shield you've tried to drop on Jessica's foot
and pull the trigger again. There's a green flash as she
goes to try and avoid your shot beating you by literally one.
You rolled 18, she rolled 19 and the bullet flies past her head.
As she does in the. Oh baby, you're going to have to
try harder than that. Fuck.
In case you haven't realized, I know Kung Fu.
Bitch. Oh boy, what's the rate of fire
on that gun? It's 1.
Oh, well, I guess that's the end of your turn.
It is, but that leaves Jessica's back wide open to Vendel.
Let's go, Vendel. Who's going to slide across the
stage? Again with the Glass Sword.
God, man, Remember rolling? A lot of crit fails.
Crits, Crits of all. Kinds, yeah.
Del's leg gets caught on the carpet as they try to roll and
they get stuck at a further distance.
They're going to have to. Shoot from here.
Shoot.
From there, 17. Now Jessica is facing away from
Vendel, which gives them a -, 1 to be hit, and that's enough.
She's so distracted by what was happening over with retro
rolling at 16 -, 1, which is too below what Vendel rolled with
their heavy pistol. She turns around and gets hit
square in the middle of the chest by a big ass bullet for 14
damage. Damn.
Damn.
And Jessica.
Jessica Knight goes below half health.
She goes to move and doesn't move in the right way.
The bullet hits her middle of a dodge and her leg can hear the
bone cracking hot and she goes back.
To it. Hey no Latency listeners, it's
Spoon. I play Jeb here on No Latency,
but I also produce the brand new show System Switch, and it's
called System Switch because every few episodes we take our
same beloved characters and throw them into a completely new
universe in the form of a new role-playing game.
We'll go from steampunk to cyberpunk, from fantasy to
scifi, from romantic comedy to dark comedy, from D&D to Call of
Cthulu and everything in between.
So join us on our romp through the multiverse by searching for.
Some switch on your favorite podcasting app.
That's what you get for putting your body through that bitch I.
Guess I will need this cane after all.
Bendel will have to deal with the fact that their glass sword
is now stuck in the stage. So they'll have to remove that
from the stage before they get to use it again.
OK. And it's Hunter's turn.
Hunter and fire. Fire.
They roll around to get themselves not on fire.
And they still now, although they can't move, can shoot.
So Hunter turns around and looks at Jeb, pulls out her Sanru.
Hello cutie Ultra KA Assault. Kewo, bitch.
No, wait. Don't.
Beat a team. 18 Come on latest piece.
Ooh 23 Nice. Very good.
Whoa. Oh.
All right, listen. Everyone's gonna stop shooting.
Can't we just talk this out? It wasn't too late for that.
I guess I did also shoot you. Yeah.
It's too late for that. But because of.
That putting the fire out on themselves and shooting, that's
the end of that turn and she can't move and it's VV pulls out
her Sanru Hello Cutie Ultra K8 pistol and pulls that out, but
first douses the flames. Bebe takes the tarp and begins
to pat down on the flames that are on her, her nice jacket.
Tracy, I've got a deal for you. Oh, no.
OK. If you want to, because you have
the tarp prepped and you brought it with you, if you can roll
over a 16 on something, I'll let you have putting fire out.
As a free action. All right.
I will say this is some sort of reflex type I.
Think you wanna you can roll any?
Yeah, you can. Justify it with some fantastic
play Bullshit. I'm OK.
I'm gonna say this is an invasion as I'm trying.
That's another and -6. You unfortunately do not get a
free action, but the fire is put out and you've kind of damaged
your jacket. Well, that's a start, I suppose.
Is that my whole turn? Nope, and your armor gets
ablated by two. OK, and you take 3HP damage.
How? You were set on fire?
Yes, fire. Not good.
Is that your medical opinion? Fire.
Not good? Yes it is.
So maybe you could stop? No, no, it's no.
It's me behind. It's Vendel.
Hi. Oh, it's trying to be funny in
battle. So Vendel, you keep going, OK?
You're doing great. Thanks, baby.
You, Jessica, need to stop. You got the pot.
It's over. And then do you shoot them?
Yes, OK. Yeah, that's right.
Waste your Crip. Fail on putting the fire out on
yourself and then roll in 18. That's exactly how that should
work. All right, so she has -4 to
move, which she has -4 to this evasion roll because of her
critical injury. My leg?
No. Oh no. -4 Jessica rolls a 20 -,
4 and gets hit square in the. You see?
Her wince and look at you. Out.
That causes a lot of damage. 14 damage.
Vivi. It's the Sandra who?
Hello cutie, what can I say? I know what you can say.
Ooh woo. Oh God, say.
It you all loves to say it. It hurts, no?
One loves to hear it. Everyone loves to say it.
It hurts for those those words if even.
If Vivi, just say it. Ooh woo.
Great. Great work.
I cringe. I feel the cringe already.
It hurts. I take damage psychological.
Damage. Do you do you mean emotional
damage? Yes.
OK, emotional and psychological. Cool.
I just want to just stay on top of those memes.
Yes, yes. The memes.
Yep, that's all. You're not on fire.
Yep, I'm gonna shoot Jessica. She must.
Die nice. Yes.
Fuck. That's.
Jesus, Iona A. Lot of damage.
That's a lot of damage. Does she evade that?
I don't, No, no. It's -4 already rolling.
A17A body is starting. It's not the Sandovision that is
the problem at this point. It's her body that isn't able to
respond to the speed and she gets hit again for 21 damage.
Iona had a lot of damage. Is that too?
Jessica. She is profusely bleeding down
her left side. As you can see, the bullet
wounds have really, really caused a lot of.
Damage. She's.
Not in a great. Are you going to do anything
else, honey? Are you going to continue to
ruin my day? I think ruining your day is top
priority. Great.
Well listen, we still got 100 Chin out there, presumably
cowering for their life. And we got Jessica who is seems
to be taken care of. So Jim's going to walk down the
aisle between the seats here towards Hunter being awfully
cool and collected. You might even hear a spur, too
in the background while he walks.
Now you won't. You won't.
When he gets to Hunter, who again I assume is Coward when he
points the gun at her Hunter. Why?
Why didn't you just Why didn't you just stay inside?
Make your podcast. I don't have a podcast.
Jesus, it's a show. Yeah, whatever.
Bang. Ooh. 21 but only four damage and
the bullet grazes past her cheek.
Oh shit, sorry. No, it's supposed to be a quick
and painful death thing. Quick and painless.
I meant. I meant quick and painless.
Are you trying to? Execute this person.
Yeah. Yeah, I suppose you did did do
it. -8 is still beats at 13 doesn't it?
-8 to 24 year old 24 and that's a lot of damage and so now I
need you to roll 2D66 and half of her jaw gets blown off.
Is she still alive? She suggests she's got very
little help. Oh, shit, I am.
Listen, listen. This is not what I was hoping.
For you were you moved for? The last second you you you you
kind of move your head up and then I blasted the jaw.
It was. Supposed to be the, the?
Job. Oh geez, I got a reload.
It's walking over here. And finish this call.
This is. This is.
It is.
I'm sorry, Jess. There's only one other problem
with this Is the blood splattered all over you.
So I need you to roll resist torture drugs.
Oh Jesus, now it's not the time. So time for a quick make out
sesh. Body yes.
You're fine. The DV was 10.
That was close. You resist the urge to eat the
piece of jaw that is on the ground that in some lights looks
like a really lovely prime rhythm well.
Listen, I'm sorry. This is, this is this is exactly
the opposite of what I was going for.
So I I I know this is your near death and you you'll likely
bleed out soon, but in your last moments, I just wanted to know
that I was going for a a, you know?
Quick and painless day. I was trying to put you into
your misery, but. And while you're distracted
talking to come to chair, Jessica, Knight pulls out her
gun from her Neil's position and shoots you from across the room,
rolling a 23. 8 crit. If you can beat 31, you can
dodge. This bullet it's possible.
But let's find out it's. Just pulls the impossible.
Nope. The bullet hits you for 15
damage. You use your armor to ablade
some of that damage. But it hurts, and as the bullet
pain subsides, you realize that also you're on fire.
The second shot doesn't hit you in your attempt to get the
flames to subside from your body.
You dodged the bullet as she only rolls a 17.
She needed a 20 to hit you. Oh, it's hot.
That's that's hot. That's, that's cool.
That is a hooey hooey. And she tries to move closer to
the stage, but unfortunately with her now low movement
ability to fire and dodges fairly quick, but her ability to
move from where she is is very, very minimal.
Same versus the last verse. I'm a shoot.
Justin in the back. Shit 19, causing 18 damage.
When she turns around, her spine cracks in half and this green
fluid pours down and she slumps to the ground.
Dead. Jessica Knight has been
defeated. Jeb, you're still on fire.
I don't know. I blew her back.
Out. Oh, no.
Oh Jace. But with Jessica Knight, Fallen
Hunter Chen looks over at Jessica and and puts her hands
up. She's not on.
Fire. But Jeb, it's stop, drop and
roll. She doesn't help Jeb.
But Jeb, I need you to roll evasion to work out how much
fire damage. You take 17.
Yes, that's 1HP damage. Just the one and combat is over.
Hunter, do you really want to live like this?
No, I would prefer not to die. That would be nice.
Also, I'm in a lot of pain now. You sent me on fire.
I'm just missing part of their jaw.
I will. I'm also missing half my jaw.
I'm in a lot of pain. I'll head over and I'll have
some aid for Hunter. I'll keep them in a little bit
of pain still, but I'll at least douse the flames.
Give them a little bit of a painkiller like this will help.
Stop the bleeding for the gaping hole in their face.
Stop the bleeding from the gaping hole.
Here's some gauze. Don't worry, I got you.
We'll disinfect it first. Yes, yes, yes, yes.
And just. Effectively ruin their career,
no? I hit Scars are Cool now.
That was fun. Well done everyone.
I'll think about. It.
Maybe now they can replace their jaw with some sort of cybernetic
thing and it also it has a built in microphone.
So I mean just think of the audio quality you've.
Done. You've done them a favor.
Also, I have very little sympathy because they put a gun
to my head. That's right, I did them a
flavor. I did not put them through a
physical. To me in my ear.
And I found that very, very disconcerting, Right.
Well done everyone. Just well done I am.
Very grateful for your work. It is a shame that the only solo
from the group was locked inside room during a battle.
It seems Jessica had some abilities now you excellent
friends. I am so grateful we did not have
to bring the NCPD into the building.
We couldn't have if we wanted to.
No, I can. I could unlock the building,
they could have blown through walls and doors, but I prefer to
not involve them since they are of the shitty.
You know, I mean, I kind of thought that you.
Paid them but. Yeah, NCPD, you think I am doing
of the paying of the NCPD? Well, I thought, you know, you
give them a little something and they like to be alone.
No, no, no. I do not know.
I have lots of money. They leave me alone.
I have my own security. I do not give them extra work.
Oh, I thought you would have employed part of the city then.
No, I pay taxes for building, you know.
You pay taxes. Everybody pays some rent to
someone. Oh.
But wow, they're the billionaires.
They're just like us. I need you all to come with me
now that we have solved the situation.
My guards will deal with the bodies.
Hunter, we will get you an ambulance, but I'm not going to
unlock the building just yet. Wait, I want to roll Jessica
Knight's body first before we? Have you did you Doctor?
Is is the Hunter? Is is this because you know you
snuck into my building? Hunter.
Are they stable? They'll be alright, yes.
OK, good. Yes, please roll.
Oh, right. I need to make sure they'll be
all. Right, because again, this is
role-playing game. Yes, of course.
We roll, we roll nice. I'll have you know that.
They blasted their own jaw off. They actually, actually, I
helped him. I did that, but it was I.
Was in corner watching whole fight.
Very impressive. You know, as a fixer here in
Night City, I am very high level you.
Know, I would imagine. After seeing you fight in front
of my own two eyes, I. I I say that you know Night City
should not fuck with you you know.
So we're going to I like you know, we're going to work
together I think. But also it is vital that we
don't. And he looks at Iona.
Sleep on this. So if you all could come
upstairs to my office, I would appreciate it.
Are we in trouble? No, we're not in trouble.
No, no, that is we're. Not in trouble.
He says as he closes the door. That is the problem I am.
Oh yeah, we can help you out no problem.
What do you need? You saved cat.
I am very grateful. Thank you.
Some of you may not remember. I do not think you were there,
Doctor, but the cat was saved and I am greatly of the
appreciation I need you to be. I can't tell you right now, but
when we unlock the building, I need you to how you say catch my
drift? When we get to something.
And he looks out the window, making eye contact with someone
in the crowd outside that has gathered as the news got out
that there was a big fight at the night market.
Whatever drift you're throwing, I'll catch you.
I got you. I understand that you are after
the interesting construction projects that have been
happening around tonight. City, correct?
Right. Well, your first task is of
course to get a boat. I'll send you more information
once you have acquired some way to get out to the ocean.
A boat. All right.
Looks like. Do we have a name for our crew?
It's been like 2 years, maybe even 3.
On the on the screen sheets whenever you are mentioned, you
are mentioned as the no latency crew.
Yeah, well. In that case, looks like no
latency crew is getting. But no.
Wait, wait, hold on. I was gonna say aquatic, and
that's not the right term. Not a cold.
There it is.
Is he always this Tim? Yes.
Yes, right, good. Yeah, no, he's always this Tim.
Again. But it's slack, I think.
Endearing. So there are a few other items I
was going to put on sale, but I don't know who would need
cybertech teeth. That's me.
Oh, would you? I mean, I can.
I can get the the product is worth a lot of money.
It's like 4000 Eddies. But after, you know, dealing
with the Jessica and the hacking and saving of my life, I suppose
I can give you said object for free.
They are like fangs. You can buy more, but these are
fangs. You may bite what and stuff
with. All the new teeth you need to
get installed? Do you have dentist?
Well, I got someone who I think can do the job.
They also have RGB, so you can have fun with that.
Oh yeah. And he hands you this little
case with four canines that are Cybertek that you could install
into your mouth so that you can really fuel some of your bite.
No latency pun and I suppose for each of you here is 2000 eddies
for dealing with the problem. Gotta pay off some of my I own a
debt. I am in very rich.
So as long as you, you save me and Night City, we will stay in
the business, you know? What I look?
Forward to, especially if you got more teeth.
And you seem to know a lot about the game.
I am completely sure, I'm completely sure, that you are
who you say you are. And unfortunately, everyone.
That's the problem. And it's kind of a weird thing
to say. No one else kind of.
He peels out a little remote and the shutters on the building
undo. There's a announcement over the
speaker system that says lockdown has been released and
you hear the various people who are stuck in the building and
this all locked down move. Would any of you like a drink
before you leave? Yes.
He heads over to the corner of the room and starts pouring a
glass. And then there's a knock on the
door and the door opens and he looks at you.
Iona. Hello everyone.
Yes, my assistant is here. Everyone and.
His face goes cold as he looks at you.
Iona, this is my assistant, Claire Jones.
Next time on no latency. Hey, I don't know.
Who's Claire Jones again? Last time we saw Claire, she was
in our bar. She was little.
Yes. Hi Claire.
How are you? You have an eyelash near your
eye. Just let me get that real quick.
Claire seems off. Very off.
Well, it might be dangerous to confront them head on until we
know what they want. Remember that bioskin we were
supposed to get, but we didn't get?
Mr. Ki, feel like there's something we should tell you.
Now where is the body frame? Where can we find it?
I would like to check on Claire. Just wanted to see how you were
doing. What?
What's in the box?
You're right, it's not for me. Oh, thank God, I thought I was
ahead Do. You think that that's something
you could handle retro well? We look forward to it.
We love going on jobs and. Missions and search.
So we did space, and now we have to do it underwater.
