Last time on no latency. Laying on the other hand, I
gotta get out of here. Well, shoot them, Jeb.
Dodge this. I don't know what we're doing,
but I like it, Dan. Oh, that's not a dusk, is it?
That's a treadmill. Hey, how those one liners doing
over there for you, Walker, turn it on and throw him onto it?
But I really do think you're doing it on purpose.
Oh, Walker, lost your likes. What was that?
Cybernetic, creepy animals. I'm sure it's something that we
will have to deal with. What's?
This table made out. Of I could definitely use a
hand. I really want to strangle this
guy. Have a broken leg.
I'm struggling. Stop struggling.
He did hand over his guns. Says the market.
Well, that's probably the ticket for the night market.
So I'm gonna need you to hand over yours does anything that we
should take the computer. We're sure we're not getting
paid for this one. Let's take it.
And I think not killing everyone we come across might be a good.
We're good people now, Jeb. We're good people.
OK, Jeb, hurry. The live stream's almost over.
Hurry. Alright, just OK, let me do a
let me do a sweet black drift into the parking lot.
Come. On.
Come on, she's going to take less time.
Come on, the elevator. OK, well if I had, if I had a
button right now to press that would do an ejector seat, I
would. But we got to get out of the car
physically with our own two legs.
All right. Sorry.
Sorry, Iona. I'm really sorry.
I just want to see the end of the thing.
I know, I I know. Just I I scooch.
I scooch over so you can get out first, OK?
Ping ping. Where's the remote?
Here it is in mind. And so the murder was solved.
What a mystery. Join us again next.
Time on mysteries of Night. Change the channel.
Sorry, we missed it. I'll change the channel.
This is Network 54 with your host April Anonymous.
Good. Afternoon Night Study.
This is Network 54 and I'm April Anonymous.
NC Space has seen a dip in their stock this week as an NC space
insurance claim leaks security concerns after an abandoned
Arasaka vehicle was discovered after last month's launch.
However, no official announcement has been made.
More on this as it develops. It's.
Shopping season again in Night City as Mr. Keriken's quarterly
market is this evening. This exclusive market features
rare items and even rarer guests.
With only a handful invited to this exclusive event, it's sure
to be a night to remember TuneIn later this week to hear all the
scoops. With Gabriel Steele on Rumor 54,
we expect instant tea to be hot, hot hot.
Get your cups ready, chums. And hey, Mr. Kiligan, maybe next
time send me an invite. I'd love to shop your floor
sometime. This has been Network 54 and I'm
April Anonymous. Always remember.
If a. Robot tells a joke.
In a deserted factory and no humans are around to laugh.
Does it experience artificial humor?
Something to think about. Well, at least we didn't miss
April. Oh yeah, I'm glad that we got to
see April. They always seem to inform us
just the right time of what we need.
You know what? I always appreciate that they're
always, you know, middle of the role.
They don't take stances. They just give us the facts.
Yeah. I mean, if you knew April, you
might not say that. It's just a professional, you
know? Have you Have you all met April?
I've met April. April is a personal friend of
mine. Wow.
It's pretty cool. You know, like an actual, like a
media celebrity in Night City. I don't know if you know this,
but I'm kind of a big deal. This is true.
You did kind of help us get to
space and get us through like biotechnical Labs and like, I
don't know why everyone laughed though, when I said that.
I think it's. Still, I mean, you're probably
the coolest of us all. I mean, let's be honest.
It was Sano because he was, you know, he had that kind of like,
I don't give a fuck energy, which is extremely cool, but you
know, once Sano died, I think it was you.
Sano. I think, I think you're
definitely the coolest of salt that.
Thank you. It's really nice, I suppose.
Man, no problem. All right?
Is this what you're wearing tonight?
Yeah, what's What's wrong with that?
Yeah, it's just my I got my regular cowboy hat.
My, I mean, I haven't changed, really.
I have two dusters and I just go back and forth.
What? Does the ticket say in terms of
like? Dress code.
Usually it happens 4 * a year.
Jeb, Yes, all right. Well, so does the Olympics.
And that those guys don't have a dress code.
I you guys talk to every each other.
I don't know what anyone said. Something about wearing stuff.
It's four times a year. Oh, it's quarterly.
Well, that's like, I mean, that's more often than the
Olympics, the. Yeah, it's like.
I mean, everyone's really excited about it.
You can see, hear the fireworks in the street.
Yeah, they're really I they're really annoying, honestly.
The fireworks with the and the fireworks.
I hate them, just ruin it. They.
Used to like a poopy. Yes.
Puppies sound like fireworks. I'm.
I'm looking at the ticket. What does it say?
And and V P's got a really nice coat.
Haha, no it. Says a BC party.
Oh sorry, this is different. Different invite What are you
looking at? What were you invited?
To the. Reason.
That's your spam folder, Jeb. I probably would put that away.
That's probably a trap. So because you're famous.
Right. I do forget that.
Which maybe makes me more down to earth and then that maybe
makes me more famous. Perhaps.
Which also makes you more susceptible to being murdered,
Jeb. Oh, that's all right.
I've been, I've been. People have been trying to
murder me for, gosh, pretty much my entire adult life.
Yeah. What does this ticket say?
The ticket has an encrypted algorithm on it.
Remy, what does this ticket say? Well, it says one plus entourage
and then there's a little chip in that inspection with the
chip. OK, I'll just go ahead and I'll
shove it in my mouth and see what happens.
Well, carefully. Careful.
All right, roll something. Cybertech.
Oh my. Gosh.
You Crip failed minus seven on A roll of 23.
So what happens is because you rolled so high, you get to find
out the data that's on it. But because you Crip failed, you
unfortunately did that thing when you're brushing your teeth
where you push the toothbrush back too far and then you sort
of gag a little bit. But it's a sharp toothbrush.
So you take 1HP damage from doing this, but what reads out
on your screen is. VIP Passcode Feline Secret
Weapon auction. No, I won.
Oh wait, do I know this like? It's all getting displayed on my
face as I'm checking on this thing.
What this seems to imply is that included in tonight's market is
a separate auction for something very special.
I wonder if the auction secret or if the weapon that is being
an auction is secret. Maybe it's both.
Well, I could be both. I do believe we know there's
going to be a Sanro. Hello cutie there.
Yes, but I don't think that that's.
What else do we know that's going to be there?
Boots. Me.
Chinks, Jeb. Wow, looks a guy how you would
drink pain. Yes, Don't worry, I'll get.
Oh no. Jeb, get out from under the bar.
Jeb, I swear to God. Get out.
Go on. Sit down.
Sit down, Jeb. That's a good boy thing that
made me uncomfortable, I. Was just just trying to be OK.
Sorry, trying to be demeaning. What else are you going to look
for at the market? Well, Mr. Kerrigan, we know
we'll be there. And Mr. Carrick it will be
there. We know that.
Hello Cutie and I'm. Going to look for customers
we're looking for. Yeah, I.
Mean. Oh, hello, cutie.
That's that gun, right? Yeah, the one that.
I have a. That's a interesting way of
saying a fake. Yeah, it's a knockoff, but it's
good for now. I would love to find the real
thing there. Yeah, they've got a first
edition on sale tonight. I'm.
Trying to remember what else we could be looking for.
It would be so helpful if I took notes.
Some sort of man's laugh. I mean, there was that, there
was that magazine. We were all perusing the the
black Chrome. Man, those fireworks are really
going, aren't they? Yeah.
They're excited about it. I mean, it's going to be a big
sale. They're really excited about an
event that they can't even go. There's probably a lot of things
that we could find there, so. So there's that Sanru Hello
cutie gun. There's a tech hammer on sale.
Those are really nice. I mean, we could probably find
nice things for all of us. Now here's the thing.
Do we take them the right way or the wrong way?
How much do we like Mr. Kerrigan?
Now, what's money do we ask? Iona It's at this point.
That your tile goes off and you see that you've received payment
for killing the Badlands Beast. You've received us some money.
Drumroll money. Drumroll, please.
I'm waiting. I'm waiting for it to pop up.
All right, you know, is there is stranger up here.
You're a cat. You're right, I I don't usually
do this, but I am going to pay you all for the Redlands Beast.
We're getting paid, yes. Wow, so there's Leave Bendel.
Let me be be chat. I honestly think the last time I
was paid was from, we know the Death Race.
That's not true. I've paid you since.
In places of drink in front of you, Chip.
Well, that's true. You've been paying me in drinks
and in good company for quite a while now.
Paying. Cheers.
Yeah, and free refilled off your head every day.
You're welcome. And you don't want to that is.
Also, I got to say I have been. Jeb.
Iona just paid you say thank you.
Oh, oh, oh, that that's that was my favorite kinds of push
notifications. 1500 Richest. Richest of us outside of Iona?
No, you guys dreamed My baby kept pretty quick.
As soon as y'all found out that I was the richest, I immediately
became the forest. No, I think Vindel probably it's
the second richest. I'm saving for a home 1500
Eddies. Wow.
Well, that put a dent in some things. 1500.
Yes. That's 100 fifteens.
That's the most. That's the most Eurobooks I've
ever owned at once. What?
What are you Are you alright?
I mean, listen, you can probably sleep on the floor in here.
I do it all the. Time.
So I don't know what it's like to be poor.
I'm so sorry. I I have to agree.
I've never been poor in my life. Well, I used to live outside in
the desert where we used bottle caps as currency, so I get it.
It's no fun. It's a lot better to have
running water. Pink Can I get a beer in a
bottle? Pink.
Slides you a beer. I'll pop the top Jeff his bottle
cap. Oh, wow.
Thank you. You're welcome.
The beer fizzles over the side and starts to drape across your
cyber hand. And it evaporates, likely as
your cyber hand absorbs it. Very sexy beer commercial.
Even absorbing hand. I can kind of feel it, yeah.
It feels all tingly. Wow.
It's kind of like like butt chugging, but with your hand.
What? What?
Oh, is that the analysis? Attachment.
I don't know anything about Cybertech.
Have you have you been butt chugging beers in the bar?
No, no, no. That was just, that was my
younger self did that and oh man, I'll tell you that that
semi permeous membrane inside your butt hole, that that's how
you get drunk fast. That's a sentence.
Wow. OK, well, OK.
So let's get back to the the task at hand.
What are we wearing tonight? What's?
Wrong with what I'm wearing now. I agree.
It's dirty. It's dirty.
I. Wouldn't say it, it says.
It's smart. Cheek, socialite.
So that's we have to. Where our DJ Qualls outfits.
Oh yeah, Remy. I do have that.
I have mine still. I'm just saying.
It was just I thought. OK, I was.
I was going to dress up, but I mean, I could.
Yeah. Yeah.
Well is this like is this? Like formal do we need to wear
like Formal or shit Tired? I didn't parent out or anything.
Smart, chic socialite. I had this little thing and then
I had, like Bendel, you're still allowed to wear what you were
going to wear. I can't really, yes.
They jump out into a closet, there's a there's a scrumbling
noise and they're basically dressed as Sherlock Holmes.
A scrumbling noise. I love that.
Oh. Oh.
Anna Watson. You look incredible.
I think you should dress up this far.
Often I've. Been binging mysteries.
OK, I jump into the closet. That's unexpected and I I start
making scrumbling noises and I'm trying to find a pair of
trousers and a waistcoat and. Roll pass from grooming.
Also, roll personal grooming for Vandel, because we should see
how convincing this outfit is. All right, this is Vendel. 13 I
was going for Sherlock Holmes, but I've got more of a Watson
look, don't I? Oops.
Yeah, the cane I think is Watson.
I clicked it twice on accident. Oh no, I clicked it once.
Yes, your personal grooming fails.
Unfortunately, the only thing you can find is bright green.
Very noticeable For the rest of the evening.
I'm I'm wearing bright green trousers.
Oh, we're going flashy. Well, listen, I I have to admit
that I know it's kind of outside of my normal attire, but I did
see a a glistening, studded like leotard type of situation that I
saw on the on the on the news the other day and it did look
pretty cool. Yeah.
And saw like Bejeweled and it kind of changed.
It seemed to kind of change the the heat.
You have it now, Jeff, because we're all just.
Getting our clothes from the closet.
Listen, I'm just saying that if I had spent a lot of money on it
because they did get me with the targeted advertising if, if
that. I'm not saying that did happen,
but. I did.
Happen. Would you say that this is maybe
inappropriate? Time to wear said sequenced
ligatard. Is this a leotard or a unitard?
You're going to have to explain the difference to me.
A unitard has legs. And a leotard is like a
swimsuit. Yeah, cuts off at the thigh.
Show off those manly calves. Well, in that case it is in fact
a unitard. Don't show off those manly
calves. Got it.
Well, listen, I didn't know the difference.
And Jeb, you pull out this leotard from your back roll past
the grooming. Put it on.
And everyone is surprised at how pretty fucking great you look.
Well, just you know what I I thought I'd keep the cowboy hat,
just because I thought that kind of completes the ensemble.
No, And the jacket's a good accessory.
I like that. Right.
It's kind of like a I thought I kind of dress it down a little
bit because I didn't want to, you know, show up you guys too
much. Oh, and it's got track black
lighting. That's cool.
Right, right. And if you notice when I kind of
turn and shimmy. You know, kind of you see how it
kind of changes you a little bit.
It's kind of iridescent. Yeah, you look great.
You look wonderful. Nice.
Thank you. I I really appreciate that, you
know. I that's a. 22 Jeb a bust, a
grooming. Well done.
That's a. That's a.
There's a bit of an impulse by it was 400 Eddies, so I just, I
was hoping it was it was going to pay off.
And I may have been drunk when I bought it, but I I think it
looks pretty good. You know what?
It's not a, but you've got a You've got black light clothing.
That's neat. Thank you.
I still like my hat. I feel like it's like a genuine
Harold Styles. Anyway, Remy.
I mean, I guess if we're all going to get dressed up opposite
of what we typically wear, hold on.
I'm going to head down to my workshop real quick and use some
of my scraps to make a a business like suit.
Out of metal. I got cloth.
OK, cool, roll for it 25. Yeah, it looks great, but it's
it looks like it's made out of polygons.
Well, it is. It's made to be.
It's a Polygon jacket with a very slate Gray undershirt
underneath that with a couple of bolts as.
Cufflinks underneath that I bronzed.
And it has a kind of weird shiver to it because it's made
of the excess scraps of our armors that have been ripped and
torn apart already. Oh, cool.
I'm going to say it's worth. You rolled high enough.
I'm going to say it's worth 12 SP for defense, not 11.
Yay. Yeah.
And did you brand it DJ Qualls? Oh, no, no, no.
This this. This is my own brand.
A separate thing. Yes, because also I'm going to
be shopping for clients to make stuff for for money now.
So this is Remware. Remware.
Remware.
Yeah, that's cool. That's pretty good.
Weapons, clothes. You name it, I make it.
A slogan too. That's cool.
I know, right? Well.
Last but not least, VV. Well, VV is just going to grab
the same outfit that she wears for any formal gathering because
she really only has one, and it's just like a pair of nice
dress pants that are black and then a teal top that goes with
her teal and pink hair. And it's like kind of fancy.
She wears like a a white blazer. So she still has that.
She still has that medic chic to her with the white blazer.
It looks like a white lab coat jacket, but it's more of like a
blazer. Yeah, medic chic is what I would
call it, as she looks a bit nicer than she normally does.
But it's like you can still tell that she's got and she's in the
medical field. Fair enough.
Good. Roll for.
It. Yes, personal grooming.
Oops, ignore that. That was not.
No, no, you said doctor stuff. I'm going to call that finger
slip A roll because technically it's still a roll, right?
That's still a crit. It's just the wrong thing.
Fuck it. Let's reward the crit.
That's more fun. You rolled 22 + 2 on paramedic,
but since you were trying to go for a doctor vibe, it really
comes across and he could easily pass with how smart you now look
as a surgeon. I'm not an intern.
For the purposes this evening. I am a neurosurgeon now,
everybody a neurosurgeon Dr. Vivian, you're a, you're a you
work on heads, is what you're saying.
Yes, cool. And you can all call me Vivian
for the evening. That's my real name, in case you
didn't know. Vivian.
Dr. Vivian. Vivian.
It's Vivian.
Dr. Vivian. You can all kind of like the
flair at the end. It's French Vivian.
I do too, actually. I think it has class.
We're going somewhere classy. Everyone looks so nice.
I'm wearing a tie. I'm too excited.
I'm sorry. You're allowed to be excited
about things. Your feelings are valid.
If you pulled out a cigarette, I have a prop cigarette that I was
using earlier and it's like kind of a dicey.
I'd love. To talk.
It helps get. We're going by our full name, so
that way we sound more classy than you guys couldn't call me
romingus. What?
Romingus. Romingus is.
That your real full name. But learning so much about each
other, that's. Yeah.
I mean, I guess you can call me Jebbie.
I just. It takes longer.
Chapadia, Vivienne Dominguez. I am my full name.
OK. Detective Vendel.
Detective Vendel it is. Yay.
OK, so should we go? Question.
Let's go. Question.
I don't know. That's OK Question.
Do we go in Vanna White? Because I, as much as I love
Vanna White, it don't scream class.
We can call a car and. Call a car I.
I do take a little bit of advance to that, but I
understand. You take offense.
It hurt me just to say it. Jebadiah, I think you can take a
look within yourself and know that Vanna White doesn't scream
class. Oh, I said.
I understand. It's just, I just wish people
would see the beauty, you know? I'm sorry.
But Jeb, this means we get to have a limo.
Yeah, yeah, Limo Schlimmo all. Right, I'm ordering a limo
schlimmo. Oh, the the limo schlimmo.
Is that what we're ordering? Yes.
I've never been on a limo schlimmo.
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 sane, 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 System Switch on your favorite
podcasting app. Yeah, the.
Limo Schlimmer This limo was expensive.
Oh man, it was 430 Eddies. There's only 30 more Eddies than
this incredible outfit, but you get it for the whole evening.
And it even has upon IT security surveillance which you can
access remotely for the entire evening.
Wow. The mini bar.
Does anyone have the app? I don't have the app downloaded
so I can't access. It oh, here you go.
Tap my tile. I'll have to create an account
and I forget it. Here, shove your hand me your
tile, You're. Doing good.
Take these drinks from the from the mini bar.
Is that extra? We no, we paid for all access.
Sweet. Nice.
Bubble tea? All these, yeah.
This one's got nicotine. Ohh.
Ohh, give me some of that. Give me some of that, too.
All right. Nicotine.
One for VV. Nicotine.
One for Jeb. Iona, do you want one with
drugs? There's one that they put
vitamin C in it. No one ever drinks it.
I would. I would love that.
It's like a Lacroix but worse he go.
I turn it, I turn it upside down and I turn it right back, right
back upside, see the sediment like drop through all the
bubbles and then the bubbles ignite inside and turn into
little balls. Don't forget to to shake it up.
Which one do you want? You can see Roll Reveal Conceal
Object for Vendel. OK.
Reveal. Don't feel.
Don't let them know. Oh yeah, no.
It's long gone. You can see Vendel.
Open up the window and go. This one is Synco.
Can they show it? They throw it out the window.
It's driving and it flies and it hits some car.
You hear like a craft. It's for the best, Remy.
There's one here with with the extra caffeine.
Glad you did that for your like DJ Qualls if you wanted to.
I'm not. I'm not going with DJ Kwalis
tonight, but the the extra power of caffeine will probably be
helpful. Cool.
And then Dell passes you one with extra caffeine in it.
I'm going to drink it, but I'm also still going to be very
disappointed that I lost that on the Synth Coke and it's
suspended in Smash the beverage, so it's a little tough.
To Turkey. Nice little flip.
Taste like that wine from church?
All right, everyone, looks like we're here and you arrive
outside Mr. Kerrigan's mark. This is the map from Black
Chrome. Wow.
That's nice. Wow, they're so tiny.
You got to be smaller than this, man.
Vivian and I are living large. Well, the reason why I'm so
small is because for me kind of is an introvert.
So in groups of large people, if not putting on a face, they are
very. Small and quiet.
Is that it? What is what is going on over
there on the middle left? Is that like a?
Is that a waterfall of yellow liquid?
No, The background is yellow, so that's transparent.
So that's a stairway upwards. Ah, yeah, I see.
Is that a waterfall of yellow liquid?
I was going with like yellow cyberpunk vibes and it came out.
It looks like pissed yes. Is that P?
And after going up some stairs, you're standing outside Mystic
Carrigan's Market, right in the center of the Glen, right above
the Atlantis. I know that place.
This is a very famous location. There is a door in front of you
and a little Gray box with space for a ticket.
I approach and slide the ticket over.
That's like a paper ticket. Well, you've got to check it
with it, Jeb. We've had this ticket retrod on.
It. Romingus, but sorry, romingus
thank. You thank you.
Iona, what are we calling you? Iona.
Oh, right. Sorry.
Iona. Yeah, And as you're having this
little conversation, slip the ticket into the machine and it
opens, giving you access to Mr. Kerrigan's Night Market.
There is a very lovely receptionist at the desk who can
tell you what's going on. I turned back to the crew.
This is a very special place that we have not particularly
been invited to but have made our way into and so it would be
in our best interest if. You were on your best behavior,
Jebediah. I'm.
Sorry, what? I wasn't listening.
You got it. Best behavior?
You got it. Oh, oh, yeah.
Yeah. Yeah, yeah, right.
Remy. Alright, turn around to the oh,
rominguous I don't worry about. I'm yes, right I.
Want to be honest, I'm very, very nervous.
I might need someone to help push me.
In you're going to do just fine. Bendel starts pushing Remy in,
and you'll get pushed into the lobby.
I'm. Doing it.
I'm doing it. You'll get pushed into the lobby
and you're around the front desk and there's this receptionist
filing their cyber nails, regrowing them, and then filing
them again to try and find the perfect shape.
Hey, the door closes behind you. What's up, Doc?
Hi, I guess you're referring to me.
We were just that we are here this evening, we're wondering if
you could give us just that, you know, quick rundown of the
evening. Oh, the market.
Yes. Yeah, yeah, no problem.
That's not a problem. OK.
So down here, we've got the three vehicles.
They're on, they're on display. If you want to buy them, you
have to talk to Mr. Kerrigan after the auction.
The private area is private by obvious reasons.
That's why we were private on the ground.
Can you see the thing on the ground?
This is private over there. Yeah.
OK, good. You can, because you're really
smart and very fantastic. Doctor, I love what you're
wearing. This is fabulous.
It looks like you rolled A crit. And then, of course, if you,
like, lose any objects, I'm interrupting you.
I know. I'm sorry.
It's awful. I'm terrible.
Look at this. Look at this nail.
It's not even the right color. Anyway, so security's down here.
If you lose anything, the auction is later, but only if
you know the password. And upstairs you can buy the
guns and the outfits and the fashion, and then there's food
up there. But I'm not sure if they're
serving tonight because the chef is there and he's not going to
be here now. In the event of a fire or
whatever, there's a huge fucking lockdown.
So if you're in the auction room, there's a very good chance
you'd be locked inside the building.
If that is the case, make sure you call your representative and
set up some kind of lawsuit. Or something, and we'll make
sure you get reparations. Anything else?
No, that real closes it I think. So do you have?
Any question, cowboy. I like your outfit too.
You look like you rolled a crib. Nice.
Well, I sure did. Thank you.
Honestly, I'm really glad that you said something about there
because I was. I was a little nervous.
I kind of been going ups and downs on how I feel about this
outfit that I've been wearing. But I appreciate that the
compliment is well. And despite your cards being
covered, they really do show off fabulous.
No, I should start wearing this more often.
So questions or we could. I believe we're good.
Yeah, no, hold on the bathroom. Oh, the bathrooms.
Let me see. I mean, this private one down
here, but we can't go now. They're upstairs with all the
merchandise and stuff. All right.
Thank you old. Oh, are any of you allergic to
cats? No, I'm good.
Cats here. Real.
One cat? Wait, have you not heard?
Wait, where have you been? Have you been living under a
rock dock? Rock dock?
I love that. That's so cute.
Perhaps I have? Mr. Kerrigan's cat.
Oh the. One that went missing came back.
Right. I did hear about that.
I know, crazy. So the cat's not for sale, of
course. No display thing, OK.
It's just just curious what? The lockdown thing is for if
there's a security thing, there's that.
An intelligent system that recognizes where the cat is and
make sure it's safe, but it locks the whole fucking building
down. Yes, got it.
And in an event of a lockdown, there'd be no.
Ins or outs? No, no.
Everybody locked inside until the investigation happens.
Because usually the lockdowns are because someone stole
something or somebody dies. But if there's an
investigations, I mean there are law enforcement entities in
here. No, no.
Mr. Kerrigan usually just hires whoever's here.
You know, People's Court. That's a fascinating system.
That's the people at work. I love that.
Right, it's great. Is there always someone
impartial? And will there be food and?
They'll be champagne during the auction, if you know the
password, of course. To the champagne.
No to the auction room. Oh man, you're pretty.
But aren't you a little slow? No, I don't know about that.
Have you seen me? I can run a half mile in about 2
minutes. I believe you, especially with
those cabs. Any other questions?
I know, I really think that these but jewels really kind of
make them pop. No other questions I think, I
think. You all, you all can take a name
badge. Please write whatever you like
on there what you'd like to be referred to.
It's a spot in the corner for your pronoun if you want.
What's your name? My name?
Yeah. I'm Keith.
Keith. Nice to meet you, Keith.
I'm going to slip them a business card.
If you ever need anything to be made, you can.
Call me. OK.
And just to be clear, Keith, we could put.
One second, One second. Cowboy.
I did not expect expect a card from you, but I will take it.
Done. Sorry, cowboy.
What? Yes, I just want to clarify.
We don't have to put our name so we can put whatever we want and
people will call us that. Yes.
I mean, people might recognize you, jab.
But yeah. All right.
I'll just put via J3. Doctor Vivian Sienna comma, MD,
Neurosurgeon. Do you want people to refer to
the whole thing, or can they just refer to you as doctor?
Just doctors? Fine.
You got it. Reminges.
Yes.
No. I saw on your card.
Yep. Remware.
And I own a no last name. Papescu she they.
She they OK and you all 1 by 1? She her.
Great. EBay.
I got it. I've got stereo hearing.
I heard both of those. That's good.
And also they'll be separated the podcast when he added this.
Keith, you do work wonder. OK, so if you need anything
else, I'll be right here at the front being obnoxious and
getting these nails absolutely perfect and it's only going to
take me about 7 hours. You should try to go for the
almond shape. That's usually my preferred
shape for a nail. It's like not too long and
obnoxious, but it's just the right amount of style when you
want to get to the nails done. For persuasion.
Just a suggestion. OK, not great.
It comes off like I'm like stuck up.
Honey, honey, honey, honey. I think they would look so much.
One outfit does not make you fashionable, but thank you for
the medical advice. It's great for the cuticles.
Anyway, you guys upstairs is available and that's where you
can find items. The auction is in like about an
hour, maybe less. Actually no, maybe more.
Maybe less. No way less.
Oh shit. I've been doing this for such a
while. It's going to be serious.
I'll make an announcement. All right.
Thank you. You should.
See my announce supports you want even believe it Anyway, go
on. Chop, chop chop, chop.
Thank you, Keith. Pop up.
And Remmy's just going to run to the elevator.
Remmy can move their tokens. I got you.
Yeah. I'm big fan of Keith.
Seems like it seems like a great person and I, Bruce Lee super
appreciated the compliments. I mean don't add just like
$1,000,000. I guess we'll, I'll press the
button, then the elevator comes down and you all get upstairs.
The elevator's locked. They just closed behind you.
You've arrived at the next floor.
You have to come. From the There are a few things
on the ground being served by, like just people in nice suits.
There's a fashion and armor station and a weapon station up
here in the courtyard. So everyone else is like black
tie, like pretty standard in the world.
There's a few people doing high fashion.
Clowns. So as you're walking, as you're
walking around this floor, it's fairly populated.
There are quite a few people in here and it's getting near the
end of this part of the market as a few of them made their
purchases and are heading out. And there are some items that
are on sale here, but they're also kind of on.
They aren't on auction, but they might be limited supply.
And one of them behind the weapons station in a big glass
case is a first edition Sanro. Hello, Cutie.
Can you can you describe how the market works?
You said this part of the market, yes, the the this is the
second floor of Mr. Kerrigan's market where you can buy items
and memorabilia. He's got a very high fixer
score. So a lot of the items are
available if not all of the things.
And so you can go up to these counters and roll a dice and see
if the thing that you're looking for is available.
I'm adding the roll a dice rule, but yes, but you do know the
Sandroo Hello Kitty is right behind the weapons kit.
Cool. So there's stuff here that you
couldn't get at Clives, for example, and it only happens
four times a year. Also, I just want to say, Jeb, I
take offense to that. I don't look like a clown.
I'm in a very chic business suit that I made myself, thank you
very much. Sure, it's, you know,
hexagraphinal, polyamorous, whatever.
But it looks good. I agree.
I think you look great. Thank you.
I wouldn't allow work into it.
Am I able to see like the cost or the current going rates for
the Sanru handgun? The cost is the cost in the
book, but because it's a first edition, so it's an extra 1000,
so it's worth more money, but it's basically the same gun.
So they might have a regular one, but you know for sure there
is a first edition. OK, got it.
It's got a first edition stamp on it.
Really. Wow, that one is so cool.
It's a first edition. Yeah, no, it's first edition in
it, yeah. How did you get that?
You know Mr. Carrigan, he's got those those connections in it.
Anything else you're looking for do.
You have any other editions? Not like the 1st edition, but
any other sanru by chance? Let me roll the D10 and find
out. Oh yeah, that's the seven.
I'm going to say yes, I've got a regular one just under the
table, you know, just. A regular one.
You're not going to buy it under the table.
It's still, you know, I had 5000 Eddies, but yeah, yeah, yeah.
OK, cool. Thanks.
Yeah, that's all I was curious about.
So that it. I have a one goal gal, and it's
that Sanru weapon. Fair enough.
Any of any you lot? Anyone.
No. You've got the mute logo on your
face. I missed the TV person.
So I'm extremely nervous right now.
I know it's right. First time, First time, First
time, first time, first time, first.
Time. Very, very, very first time.
Cool. OK, so there's like two or three
things that I've been looking for.
First off is if you got one of them.
K Tech Tech Hammer Assault shotgun with micro missile
attachment with it, yes, and because I just rolled the 10 it
is of excellent quality. That's good to know, and I hate
to say it, but because I'm not a big fan of the company, but I
was also thinking about that Erosaka prototype variable
assault rifle. You're looking for a prototype.
At this desk. Maybe not at this desk, but
maybe you know that somebody might have it.
Oh, that's a nine. Now I'm going to tell you this
right if I'd rolled A10 right underneath this counter right
here. It sucks, Jim.
Yeah, yeah, the. But because I rolled a nine,
it's in the auction if you know the password, right?
But I'll go ahead and. Go ahead and put that, that,
that K shotgun on me. The K tech for me.
Oh, the the K tech. Yeah, yeah.
Yeah. I think I won't buy that.
I don't. I don't have it.
It's in the auction, mate. I mean, it's spelled what did
you know? What the K tech is or the
prototype is Oh, the prototype is yeah.
Yeah, I wonder about that K tech you said you had.
Oh, the K tech. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
How much is that? 1000, yeah.
No, I can see that for 1000. I'll I'll buy it for 1000.
Anyone else buy anything? And here is a coupon, Sir, every
time you make a purchase at Mr. Carrigan's Market, you get a
coupon. Nobody knows really.
Well, therefore, but whatever, keep on hold.
On Oh. Coupon.
Oh yes, they're very funny. Very good.
What about you, cowboy? Oh my.
I prefer my my weapons a little bit more down to earth, a little
bit more classically mechanical. Oh okay.
I'll just put away this antique. Resolve the holster then.
You say antique and no. You have any super Chrome?
In a minute you've said no. All right, you can have a look
at it in a second. And Io No skill.
I mean, yeah, of course I've got super Chrome.
Just a regular super Chrome side arm.
I just need something a little flashier.
Fair enough. What does it say on our catalog
for price 1000? Oh yeah, Done.
Here you go. Nipples it out from underneath
but. I hear you have skill chips.
Yes, we've got skill chips. I've got one that it's just it's
the funniest thing, right? There's this guy who used to do
whip tricks. It's the weirdest thing.
And you get +3. To doing anything with a whip.
Of all things. Like anyone in Night City uses a
whip. Ridiculous.
So strange. Who is such a weird object?
So like if you wanted to, like hold someone down or like,
snatch a can from across the thing, you know these these cool
little magic tricks you could do with this thing.
Yeah, but it's only if you do tricks, not if you want to do
like. You know how to do them if
you've got this chip. That's so silly to How much
would that go for? Oh, it's it's like it's because
it's kind of a novelty and it's like a party trick.
It's like 200 eddies. It's like nothing.
I You know what, just for kicks and giggles, I'll take it for
the next party in it. Yes.
How much fun would that be? Just magic.
So you going to buy the sand room there, Doc?
I'm thinking about it. Hey, Iona, do you need alone?
Yes. And I was thinking, I know you
also kind of wanted the Hello cutie.
They have two of them. And I'm just saying you could
get like the original one, you know, Like you could have the
the 1st edition and I'll have the one that's like a later.
Model or whatever. Maybe you helped me out a bit
and I would happily let you have the original version.
Could you could you pull up a quick contract for a loan?
What's the payment options on this loan?
You have 0% for a year. OK.
It's not bad. One year and then it's 25%. 25%
a month, OK, Do you? Want to owe me a favor?
What kind of favor if it involves Synthcoke now?
I can't promise it won't involve synthcoke, but you just owe me a
favor later on. Interesting.
So you're going to have an IOU to Remy or?
Maybe an interest free loan for my owner?
Huh. That's true.
I I will also pay you for things I don't know if you know this,
like I did today. So I need about like 4000
eddies. Easy.
What about you, Remy? You got 4000.
You can just give up. Maybe I do, maybe I don't.
Maybe I also have other IOU's that are owed to me.
I'm looking more like I own a might be a better option here.
I I think I could pay off that debt in a year.
I. Was not working in a year so
easy. With the jobs we've been taking,
I think, I think I might be able to pay it off.
And sorry, is sugar Mom are going to be paying for your sand
route. Yeah, yeah.
At least the bulk of it. I have some money at 1500 so.
All right, right. Knock it down.
I I transferred what What do you need 4500?
Yes, let me just do some quick math.
I have 500 eddies, so if I pay that's 2000 and it's B.
V1 of The reasons why you're poor is you've forgotten to hold
on to some money, so maybe I'll take the 4500.
OK. It's just, yeah, it's 4500.
OK40. Wait, will you have any money
left over? If you take 4500, you'll have
500 left. I'll have 500 left over, so the
amount that I had in my yes. As long as you've got something.
Yeah, you're right. I probably couldn't just spend
all of my money on one. Thing and then be gun poor.
And then have no money for kibble or basic needs or rent.
Yeah. So forty 4500 is probably a good
loan to start with and I'll work on paying that off.
All right. Thank you for your time.
Here's another coupon. Thank you it.
Comes in a really cool box, but not as cool as the box that's on
the wall. Of course.
So are you gonna get the the original one, Iona?
Are you gonna get the first model?
Wasn't the first model 6000? The first model is 6000.
I was getting just the regular one.
You can get the original one, since I mean, you're helping me
out so I figured it would be a nice thing.
Oh, how much? How much was the?
How much was the regular 1/5? 1000.
Ohh, I see. So you actually have 1000?
Yeah, math is hard for me. You should.
Have 1000 Eddies. I think I I math incorrectly.
Uh, yeah. I think I might have 1000.
Uh, leftover. It's really wise to talk about
your finances out loud like this.
Good. Nice.
We're just trying to figure this out.
For like. 5000. I know.
I I make that and. I'm.
A 13 minutes. But that's what I'm saying.
Like you, Iona, could get the original one.
It's six 6000. You know you can probably
afford. The auction will begin in 7 1/2
minutes. Fine, I'll buy the original.
You buy the original off the wall.
It's a first edition. You don't have to open it, but
then Dell can store it in their bag.
OK, let's do that. I I've already put the Super
Chrome that I bought on my side so I have a + 2 to wardrobe nice
so my my green pants look even better.
Oh, nice. Nice recovery there.
Should we? Should we head downstairs to the
auction? I don't want to miss it.
Yeah, auction time. When you get in the elevator.
When you head downstairs. Shit.
The auction hall is on the east side of the building and the
door is guarded by two guards. I forgot I was also trying to
keep my business card out to people and I didn't do that.
But we might see them later. Here.
Right, right. OK.
We need any extra things we can go shopping after the auction.
Are we just carrying our our new bought weapons now?
Yeah, Phoebe's admiring it like she just bought a new toy.
She's like, looking at the packaging.
She's trying to delicately open it so that she doesn't, like,
ruin any of the nice packaging that it came in.
But she wants to admire her new her new weapon.
The box that comes in is pretty tight to the weapon, and it fits
neatly in the back of your boom box now that you didn't bring
your hoverboard with you this week.
Yay. Oh, you didn't burn that?
I didn't. Maybe you'll find one here at
the auction. Oh, now that's something now.
That's pretty expensive, Jeff. But like the password.
Feline. Oh, shit.
Yeah, yeah, damn it. And you get.
Wait a minute, How did you know that?
I mean, we we knew that collectively.
Yeah. Every ticket's got on Entourage.
You don't have to. Please don't just.
Yeah, we know. Yes, we are the Entourage.
Thank you. Yes, man in very cool suit.
That suit's cool, mate. All.
Right. Thanks.
Appreciate that. Not you, mate.
Oh, thank you very much. I'll slim business card.
Oh, cool. Make things all right.
Thanks he. Puts it in his pocket and you'll
head into the auction room and there in the auction room.
Standing silently at the podium is Mr. Kerrigan, going over a
few notes, etcetera. There are a few other people in
the room as well. Now in this room you see just as
sort of a gaggle of very few people have worked out the
password this time around. Overall, there are five people,
Mr. Kerrigan So there are six people in this room with you, so
take your seats. That's the hubbub of the room
continues. I see the rocker, the rocker
person. I see somebody else.
I see another person. I think I see Doctor Doctor very
cool and hip looking. Doctor Sweet.
Doctor Dave, or whatever his name was, Doctor.
So you roll. Perception.
I will roll perception. Sure.
Nice you all recognize? One person in here, there,
sitting in this room on the leftmost side of the auction
auditorium, is the collector. The clay.
Oh, hello you. How are you?
Oh jolly. I've worked out the password.
What's going on? Can I come over?
And the collector jostles in front of you all so he can talk
over the back of it, and he sort of walks with a cane and sits
back down. How are you all?
It's gonna start in a minute. Oh yeah, Excited.
I want to be honest, like, I was really scared and nervous.
I didn't know anybody else here except for these guys.
But now that I know that you're here, like it's kind of faded
away a bit. So I'm I'm.
Kind of. Like thank.
You. I made it myself.
Oh. Oh, I remember you from the
space thing, you doctor person. I didn't realize you were a
surgeon. Look at you.
Neurosurgeon, actually. Oh my.
Well, I'm super excited about this evening.
You know, we've got, we've got Mr. Kerrigan over there, we've
got Jessica Knight over there. You know, the one, the one with
the pink hair. I I saw them the other week.
They were having a blast at this party.
And then over there in the corner is Victor Solis.
Who's that? I don't know that one.
Oh, Victor. He runs his own company, so
Solis the construction Technologies some sort of
buzzword afterwards. Victor.
Now Victor invented a bunch of really cool.
Anyway, he's got a lot of money and he does a lot of his R&D
with actual assassins. And talking of actual assassins
over there just on the left hand side.
No, no, maybe it's on the right. Is an assassin right there.
See that? That's rain Rain Sinclair.
Rain Sinclair is a a a big big fan of being a badass.
But I heard he's retiring soon. But don't tell anyone.
And then that guy in the waistcoat is a man named Ora
Gavel. I'm not really sure why he's
here. He's not really of the elite.
But he did go for an interview to be an auctioneer at my.
Establishment. I turned him down for the weird
vibe. And then the man sitting in
front of us over there. That is the rumor master
himself, Gabriel Steel. Gabriel Steel.
That is an extremely cool night. Gordie.
Great at rumors. Yeah, they kind of like know
everything even before it happens.
Almost prophetic. Wow.
And if you're here, that means we're all the who's who of me.
Wait, wait. I want to go through all those
names again so I can write them down.
You won't need to. Great.
I got you, fam. Don't worry.
I've made notes a lot easier, so don't worry.
Mr. Kerrigan is standing at the front of the market.
His sights smiles. Hello, welcome to the Night
market. I am Mr. Kerrigan and tonight we
have a few items. There is the Arasaka prototype,
variable assault Rifle, H1O2 and the newest of new the coolest of
cool, he said, remembering accent.
Is he always German? I am nearly European.
I'm trying to go for like a mid vibe.
Is that all of the K? I was thinking Scandinavian.
Yes, is of course the next version of the kill chip.
It's fire. And on Mr. Kerrigan's right,
there's this little podium that gets unveiled in there.
On a podium is the Kill Chip sitting on a little cushion.
Golf clap, Golf clap. Golf clap?
OK. We'll begin bidding at 10,000
Eddies. And you see Victor Solace lean
back in his chair, and Gabrielle Steele stands up in this moment,
putting his hand up. And there's just this weird
moment, this odd second, where you kind of hear a whining
noise, and then Gabrielle Steele appears before you all go still.
And then this happens. The fuck.
Oh, still my God. Wait a minute.
I thought I heard a gunshot. But his head?
Came off. Normally when you get people get
shot in the head, the head explodes.
This one it can clean off roll on the ground for a little bit
there. That's a really wordy way to
describe what just happened. Next time on no latency.
Pose this is when the lockdown happens.
Something happened with his head, yeah.
It's gone. More like they lost their neck.
It's not like a murder mystery party.
It's an actual murder. Well, obviously I'm the Femme
Patel. I can't be the doctor and the
detective. What?
What do you mean to take everything?
Asking questions. I'm the detective do.
You have a weapon that could do that.
That is exactly what happened to our victim.
Check the head. Because they'd have to
physically put it into his. Oh, come on, you can tell me.
One invented to another. Do I see anybody in the room
with red lips? Stick rain, Sinclair is going
around kissing people's necks. Beaches senseless.
I don't know if I feel like it. I'm gonna go up to the bar
person. If they did do it, maybe they
don't have it on their person. What does the letter say?
Have we not checked the cameras yet?
That seems like we should've done that first.
The flash of green. Good I Rominguez.
Do you want to be a murder suspect or should I just clear
you? If you answer my questions?
It's easy as that. Thank you for joining us on our
