Last time on no latency. We've got to find out where that
syndicate is. Well, don't be obtuse.
So altogether it could be a rhombus.
I think we can all contribute. Tuna, hey.
To this plan and. It'd be fun.
Hey bud, just wondering, you ever heard of the sandicate?
Snipe City prices right there. Good luck there buddy.
Bring them up. Oh, everyone is here.
The whole crew Who? Does the muscle.
You are important. I got to pay my rent.
I'll read it. I see.
What an interesting note from
the manager. More bullets I see, Clyde.
I ain't thought about ammo and a long drive.
I'm I'm looking at the map right now.
Clive is along the way. We are the boys, so we should
take the back streets. Clive's.
We haven't talked to Clive in a minute.
Ding, Ding, Ding, Ding, Ding, Ding, Ding.
I do a sweet. Drift. 7500.
I walk in it's bullets. Maybe not because I was checking
my my sheet and it says I got a lot.
I got 229 bullets. Well, you don't have any armor
piercing. No, don't don't got that armor
piercing. Well hey could I have a what are
the kind of I'm trying to trying to get some more ammo from.
Oh, hello, how are you? I'm doing great.
It's good to see you too. Now, Grand Pappy's twin Colt 40
fives. Of course they take, well, 45
caliber, which in game terms is a heavy bullet.
Yeah, not after, because I made that adjustment to your guns in
at the glass market. Do you remember?
My God, it's been so long. It's been a while.
Have they been shooting OK? I'm shooting great.
Oh good, that's nice. It'd be it'd be bad if you had
like a problem with a jamming situation at some point.
Oh well, you know, I didn't even think that revolvers could jam,
but it's happened once or twice. Pretty.
Much can like the GM did some research and it's actually quite
common. I don't know why you've got this
idea in your head. That's wild.
Sometimes the bullet comes out the back and gets stuck as it
turns, and it's quite common. It's hard to fix.
Yeah, well, I'll tell you, I've got plenty of experience.
It happened to me quite a few tabs.
I. Mean that's what you get for
lubricating your your cylinder so much.
Well, I like to lubricate my cylinder.
Oh yeah, no, I like that you reciprocated that joke.
I tell you what, I'll give you a little discount so you get a 5%
discount on what you want. You want some like armour
piercing ammo and some grenades and chips.
Well, yeah, you know, you know, I was thinking what are what are
the kind of ammunition you got in terms of heavy?
Box I've got incendiary and I have like like an electric one,
like a tase bullet, but those are really expensive.
So I'd be, I'd like, I would honestly, I'd say load one and
shoot it. You just put it right in there
and then shoot it. Maybe just have it as the first
bullet and and then you the rest be normal, that kind of thing.
You know, they're really shit. Like I'm not even shitting you.
They're like 200 Beach Boy. That, yeah.
Because it's a, it's a micro, it's a micro EMP like grenade
and a bullet size. So we can wow, it's impressive.
It does damage and shocks people.
You know, and when, when they shock people.
Expensive. They they, I imagine they become
incapacitated in a sense. I mean, it depends on how much
cyberware they have. And they're like, you know how
they roll in the streets, as it were, to make a Dice and Night
City joke? Right, right.
At once. That was great.
Yes, absolutely. Well, you know what I'm going to
take? How much are incendiaries?
Incendiary bullets. Let me just have a look in my
little system. Yeah, while you're ready, go
ahead and dig. Give me give me the price for
them Armor Pearsons as well. Just have a look.
Incendiary, Incendiary, Incendiary.
The heavy, heavy bullets having a look right for a pack of 10
there. 100 for the incendiary. Packet 10 for they're 10 bucks.
I pop every time I pull the fuck a trigger.
I'm spending 10. No, I'm sorry.
That's 100 for 12 because you are 6 shooters, aren't you?
So we're going through. Yeah, that makes sense.
So yeah, that'll be 100 and that'll be for 12.
You get for 100, which is. I don't know.
That's a pretty good deal if you ask.
Well, I suppose. And then you wanted armor
piercing, right? Yeah, yeah.
AP bullets armor Oh yes, that's right, because American spell
armor differently, it's hard to. Yeah, no use in there.
There's no, There's no. There's no, there's only dead
extra you there just just taking no space.
Yeah, that's not how you sell PSE, but honestly, sometimes my
sister. Oh, yeah.
OK, so those are a lot cheaper. They're only 50.
Oh great, well go ahead and take 2 packs of them and 1 pack of
the Incendiaries and here's 200A's for you.
You have a great you have a great time.
Oh, thanks, Joe. All right, the rest of you do.
What else do you need? I owner.
Yes, I also need ammunition. Do you have do you have smart
bullets currently? I have some, yes.
I'll take a pack of those and then probably 2 packs of just
basic heavy pistol. It's a smart, smart bullets.
Are you a medium or a you're a heavy pistol, aren't you Heavy
Yes, yes, a heavy pistol. Smart bullets are pretty dear.
They're not cheap at all. So so for a pack of like, how
many how many smart bullets do you want?
10. 1010 is 500 eighties. All right.
And then just the basic 2-2 packs of basic ammunition please
for. Basic ammunition I mean you can
have. I mean armour piercing is only
50 if you've got scratch. Sure.
Cool. Twist my arm, Clive.
And did you want like a grenade or like a?
If you're throwing it in, for sure.
Look at that grenade humour. I was going to say you can have
50% off another set of smart bullets because we're all
friends. Sure.
So that's 77150 for the smart bullets and then the 50 each for
the stack of armor piercing. So that would be 100 and top so
850 so far. And then a grenade is 100 if you
want one. Oh no, I'm fine, OK.
Here you go, I. Thought maybe you'd like my joke
and and and I. I remember correctly, you've
you've, you've told me a few times that grenades and you
don't really mix. So I think.
It's hard. I don't.
I've been shot. In the arm too many times,
right? Yes, I just can't throw as well.
Not one to pitch. No.
Right. Good.
All right. Well, there you go.
That's nice. VV Retro.
What else do you need? VV go ahead.
Well, I just dropped a lot of money on my apartment so I'm not
going to splurge here, but honestly I I probably should
also get some ammo, some heavy pistol ammo for my sanroom.
Hello cutie. Oh.
God, your gun is so pretty. Isn't it?
You've kept a really good job. You've like, that's not really
damaged very much and it's special edition.
I can't believe you've got the balls to use it.
I suppose it's better if it's used, isn't it?
You can still live a life because to have a story, you
know, I'm a nice city legend. I could sell this for a bunch.
Yeah, well, I I'm actually a collector of San Rue.
Hello cutie items and. I know because the ears give it
away. Those are cute.
Yes. Another thing that you know a
lot of people keep in the packaging, but I'm happy to wear
it, use it, give it a life like you said.
Yeah, no, I'm the same. That's why.
That's why all of my stickers, I stick on stuff.
I'm not one of those. Very good.
Yeah, stickers for a cyberwear are basically tattoos.
You try and get that fucking adhesive off.
Fuck. Yeah.
All right. So do you want that?
Do you want some armour piercing for two packets?
I mean, I mean, if you're going to be using the auto fire on
that, like that's like $50 every time you do an auto fire.
So be aware of that. Yeah, woof.
Yeah, that's when you put it that way.
Like that's why maybe some regular ammo might be smart if
you don't really have a stockpile.
I think some regular ammo is probably best.
OK, do you want just like a pack of armour piercing?
So you've got 10 to go. Yeah, just in case.
Cool, so there's that. That's fifty.
Regular ammo is only 10 for 10, so if you want 100 ammo, it's
100 eddies. You know, that kind of thing.
I'll sell in in packs of 10. I'll do 100 of the regular and
then 10 pack of or a pack of 10 of the armour piercing.
That's 150. Do you want anything else?
Do you want some darts, some poisons, that kind of shit?
I will, that'll be all for me. That's no no worries.
It's lovely to see you Vivi. Do like the ears, they suit you.
Thank you. You're.
Welcome. All right, Vendo Retro, what do
you need? Oh, I'll go last.
Vendo, was there anything you needed?
Oh, do you have any leg oil? Oh, right.
I hear if I use leg oil it gives me plus one to stealth so it
stops me from squeaking or is that like a snake oil thing?
Vivi, you're the cyberware expert.
I mean, I got I got WD-80 that usually works.
I think I think the leg oil will probably be best, yes.
I'll buy some of that. It's only 25.
And look, it's right here at the counter.
I'm sure it works. Sweet.
It's lavender scented. It's my favorite.
And retro, you were lost. What do you need, brother?
Work, live. I'm actually in a bit of a
shopping mood. Well, that's nice.
I've been perusing the latest interface Red Magazine 1 Volume
4, and there's a few items that I'm interested in that I would
like to know if you have Ion cuffs.
I prefer some Ion cuffs. Yeah, it came out from the the
Gear Mist, the the Christmas Gear Mist one.
They say they're roughly about like 500 eddies made to work as
regular handcuffs but disable any internal workings inside of
cyber arms and such. But is it not working?
I can't search, I just want to read it.
What page is it? That's going to be page 67. 67
right one second, page 767 on the magazine.
Here we go. Let's have a look.
All right? You've got iron cuffs.
Oh, yeah. It looks like here they're 500.
Do you want to try and haggle me down or you were coping Market?
I'm OK with paying market because I have two other items
I'm interested in that I would plan on haggling with.
All right, well, if you don't haggle me on the first thing,
I'll give you plus one to your heart cup.
That's why I'm with me. Sounds good.
You know, glad I'm always super appreciative of how just
transparent you are with the whole bargaining process.
Well, yeah, I mean, you might as well.
We're friends. Like you've saved my bacon, so I
might as well be open with you. So fucking love bacon.
Hey, who does you know? Right.
Yeah. What was the other thing?
Bacon and bacon and bacon. All right, the second thing.
Yes, Google. You've got to do your best not
to lean on that button, Jeb. Could you lean away from the
wall? That's the activator.
My apologies. Yeah, it's.
You're fine. It's.
The second item I'm looking for, I'm probably confident you do
not have it at this time, but I'm thinking about doing as a
special order the Master Mechanics Toolkit, something I
would prefer to like get sent over to.
No latency. Fuck I I, you've scared me so
much. I went temporarily Irish.
That's impressive. It's a pretty high price tag
now. No.
Do you know how much that things costs?
You know 20,000 eddies. Good Lord it's 20, do you have
20 grand to just fuck around with?
No, I don't. OK, that's a lot of money that
we don't I can. Order it for you.
If you but five, you know as well as I do that I do some
moonlighting. And so if there's somebody that
you need to get some debts handled too, or perhaps even if
you'd like some personalized items to be made for your shop
one-of-a-kind, you know, my work, there could be something
to be worked out for that. I'll just, I'm going to be real
with you. I'm going to be real with you,
Retro. That's going to be a tough one
for me to find on my own. You're going to have to involve
a fixer. So maybe like, I don't know,
we'd be paying or I hear VV met a new fix fixer recently, so one
of those. OK, that's fine.
I just, you know, I thought I'd ask.
Yeah. No, I mean some feelers out.
I'm not confident about my roles, but I'll give a look.
Super luxury is difficult for just a regular shopkeep to find.
That's more of a fixer night market kind of thing, right?
But if I find out where there was, there is one at the night
market, I'll I'll, I'll get in and get you a guarantee.
Like if it shows up at the glass market or whatever, I'll do my
best, but I'll keep I'll, I'll, I'll get you something.
I promise. That's my G, my heart.
What's the What's the other thing you needed?
The other thing, it's actually 22 fold 1 is that I would like
to try to find a way to be able to extend the amount of slots
for chip wear if possible. More fun or a way to be able to
boost if possible. The second is I am trying to
find. Like jump, I don't sell
cyberware. I sell, I sell like you know,
ammo, guns, attachments. I sell a few cyberware stuff
like internal guns and I've got a, I've got a cyberware pocket
somewhere like major cyberware. You'd have to talk to a Med
tech. All right, then the only other
thing I'm going to need from you is going to be roughly 100
rubber bullets, we'll say. Yeah, sure, yeah.
But I I just need the stick ball variety, you know?
Yeah, that's not a problem. Let's have a look.
Rubber. Do you want the slugs or the
pistols? We're going to we're going to go
with slugs. Slugs.
All right, let's have a look at the system Oh yeah, they're
cheap. I mean you get 10 for 10 eddies
so. Yeah.
They're they're, they're in 80 each essentially.
So, yeah, yeah. Yeah.
So if I wanted to get 100, that would be about 1000.
I think so, yeah. Yeah.
Give me, give me 100. Yeah, you've got it.
There you go. And he pulls out a big box thing
you put on the desk, like advertise them.
He just folds it up and hands it to you.
Awesome. All right, 100.
Any other ammo? Any other stuff?
Have you been firing rockets lately?
I have fired a few but. Do you need to refill?
Because I've got rockets in right now if you want one,
especially after not having two of the things you needed.
I feel really bad, so I'll give you a deal.
OK, yeah, give me a zero. I think I can only hold a Max of
eight. How many you got?
Let's have a look. Are they smart rockets, armor
piercing or regular? Oh, I don't have smart.
Is it in Smart Kate? I guess smart isn't.
It you'd have to double check. Double check.
It's on the side there in the menu.
They are smart. They're smart.
OK, so they're 500 each and I've got 5.
Now give me 4. I will.
I will sell them to you for 450 each.
What's that? OK then yeah, I'll take, I'll
take 4 smart rockets. You got it.
Here you go. They're coming.
This plexiglass briefcase. It's ridiculous.
Welcome to waste Looks good. It's aren't they pretty like
they look like they're suspended in ice, but it's really just
plastic. I know all right, well, if
that's all you've got you guys have fun.
I'm expecting you to go on a heist, but I'll have ammo for
you if you need it and if you need a delivery, let me know.
I will charge extra, but I don't mind shipping it over.
I can drop it off with joy. With joy, well, I mean, you
don't have to be super excited about it.
You can just kind of drop it off.
But I appreciate your enthusiasm.
No, Jeb, I mean your girlfriend. Where, where?
Where we. Come on Jeb, we've got to go and
steal more shit from someone. Abandoned life is never done.
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 chums.
You are on the streets. Hell yeah.
You're driving through the city. Hell yeah, you've.
Left Clive's behind with your new Casharolo with your new ammo
and the gear, and you head down Skyline S through South Knight
City, dipping into the combat zone just.
And in order to avoid any bullshit, Jeb, you've got to
roll the driving check. Hell yeah, brother.
Here, here Burger, OH. You roll a crit and a simple
roll down your window. You enjoy the the fresh breeze
of the river as you cross over the bridge and as you're doing
this rather sit. You put your hand out and as
your hand is out there in the air it gets hit by a 50 Eddy
bill. Close your fist.
I love it when that city gives back.
How do you keep? Doing that, that's.
Ridiculous. I don't know to tell you lucky
as hell. You take the back streets
through Pacifica, seeing the pug punk roller dub rink in the
distance. You make your way through the
back streets and into Rancho Coronado, past Retro's apartment
building. You can see your building
manager sitting outside the building on a box, smoking a
cigarette. Retro and he pays no attention
to your vehicle whatsoever. He seems pretty chill.
I give him the peace sign as we go by.
He looks up and just doesn't fully recognize you as you drive
too quickly past and then you end up at the UPNS S lot.
And Dale, where are you? I'm right?
Here oh. Sorry, my eyes were closed.
I was. I was just tying my shoe,
apologies, I only need one nowadays.
And you arrive outside of of the UPN S lot.
So are are we meeting Barry or on?
Are we going in guns blazing or? We're not going in guns blazing,
We're going to go in, I would say.
Guns drawn. Corpo Chalant.
Oh, corpo Chalant, OK, but. Like we be like, we deserve to
be there. We have a higher status than
everybody else and they'll just accept that or of authority.
Oh, we can do that. Iona does it, why can't we?
I'm going to take a little bit of gel out of my bag and we've
squirt it into my hand and run it through my hair to kind of
like make it more severe and slicked back, tuck it behind my
ears. I'm going to pull the the Super
Chrome onto like put it on to my side so it is visible and
tighten up my jacket, button it up, toss my bag in the back seat
and I'm ready to. Roll Great roll wardrobe in
style. Sure, I get a + 2 because of the
gun, wardrobe and style. Oh, +2. 16 in total.
That's really good. Nice.
Yes, you have improved your look and now you look even more like
an intimidating corporate. Great.
Now as you get out of Vanna White looking through the
street, the general things you see without rolling perception
are the front of the South Block building.
This is where they keep vehicles when they're not delivering
stuff in between deliveries for breaks, etcetera.
The drivers don't hang out around here, they go to a local
like coffee shop or bar. There's no staff area here for
them. Staff area here for that is for
the organizational staff and the security staff who take care of
the vehicles. In front of the building is a
big glass overhang that has the UPNS logo on it and that
protects guests from the rain while they're waiting at the
desk. And you can see that there is a
woman at the desk window at the front.
If you want to see anything else, roll perception.
You also see a vending machine bench, an advertisement for some
kind of, you know, biotechnical vitamin that you know, does
nothing whatsoever. As do most vitamins.
I rolled A20 Perception. Rolled A20 perception.
You can see that to the north of you there is a parked car and a
guy who is sleeping on a bench. But with your high perception,
it doesn't really come across as someone who would normally be
sleeping on a bench. That's it.
What? What could you elaborate a
little bit? Is it?
Is it the look of the person? Is it?
He he looks like he doesn't need to sleep on the street, but not
in a corpo way. He just looks like a the kind
of. Just an average Joe, but.
Just an average Joe, and he's just sleeping on.
Yeah, he. He doesn't look like the kind of
guy who would normally sleep on a bench.
He looks dirty, but he looks like he has a home.
All right, I've got pay. Pay him no mind.
Really. Should we do this?
Yeah. Should we?
Maybe. Lead and I'm just going in and
I'm asking for our package. Yes.
Do we all need to go in? That's that's really my only
question, 'cause I I'm gonna be honest.
Are we, are we going around the back as a distraction?
Is that what you're saying, Jeff?
Oh well, Iona is the distraction.
That's fantastic. I love that.
OK. No, I I do need a confirmation
number. Do we have one?
Yes, all right. We do.
Could you send it over so our? Confirmation number For the
order number I wrote it down. Oh, hold on.
All right. I pull out a pen.
Here we are. It's going to be NTRS 00116.
That's it. That's the order number that I
got. That's what's so funny.
NTRS, not ours. I mean, I mean, that's so funny,
boss. Ha ha, guys laughing Diana's
joke. Wait.
Why am I laughing? You're so funny, Boss did.
You not think it was interesting?
I I actually thought that was really.
Funny. Thank you.
Thank you, Garden Master. Garden Master.
All right, I'm ready. With the with the back of my
knuckle, I just tap on the glass.
She looks up. Hi.
Hello could you help me? Can I help you?
I I asked you the same thing. I mean, I guess I can help you.
OK, I'll take this nice and slow because OK it it seems you seem
a little tired. I know it is that hour.
Yeah, I just, we, we sorry, we've been dealing with like a
clerical error. There's an order and the the the
person who had the order is really upset and corporate's
breathing down my leg and sorry for oversharing.
That's totally I I completely understand.
And I asked the boys to go and look and they were like, it's on
break and so I have to wait for them to be done.
And that breaks like 2 hours. She's just hanging out in the
back. Well, I mean, they, they are,
are they union? They are.
They are supposed to have their break.
Yeah, I know. I mean, I'm union too.
And why don't you have your break?
Where's your break? Well, somebody has the man in
the window until Dave can take over for my break.
And where's Dave I? Sleep in the back.
And then the other boys like Barry and that lot, they're in
the back lot. Well, I don't know why I'm
telling you this. You seem nice.
Thank you. Is is Dave the one asleep on the
bench out here? I don't know who that guy is.
I can't even see what you're talking about.
Oh, I, I just, I back up a little bit and I, oh, that's not
backwards. This is backwards.
I back up a little bit and I just kind of like motion to the
right of me where the benches are.
Oh yeah, people sleep around here all the time.
Plus, the vending machine's always full of good shit.
Oh, do a lot of people steal out of those vending machines?
Not that one. There's like it's one of the
good ones because one of the deliveries is done by one of our
trucks. So all the gangers tend to leave
it alone because it's usually got some nice shit in it, like,
you know, bubble tea and other crap.
That's nice that they're respectful well enough chit chat
I it's. Like the glass market, but in a
vending machine. You know what I mean?
Like a no man's leg. Sorry, I thought it was funny.
Sorry. I'm really stressed with this
thing. Like corporate's like really
angry so. I, I can, I can understand I'm,
I do and not for me to be pushy or anything, but I, I am here to
pick up a package that I I see was not deliverable and.
Oh, oh, sure, yeah. Do you have a an order number?
I sure do NTRS. Which is very funny because it's
like, not ours for me, you you, oh you and PS and PS or whatever
your name is anyway. NTRS 00116.
Oh, oh, oh, you're the oh, I I was told that the client was I'm
sorry for assuming because the client's a guy.
Are you sorry? I didn't realize, Sir, I fuck, I
I should not have assumed. That's that's really bad.
And my my manager said that you bought insurance.
I did. For the yeah, we've had a
problem with. There was a glitch in the system
and now we don't know where the package is.
We know that it right here, we don't have a record of where it
left. I've been trying to track it
down and Barry said he'd look, but he's also on his break and
then and then and of course that was like a few days ago and and
he never really got to it. And I'm really sorry for Barry's
behavior. He is a bit of a stickler for
the rules. And if he doesn't get all of his
stuff done, he can't do any extra tasks and it is counted as
an extra task by the union. So we're trying to work out
where it is. I've been doing my best, but I
am terrible with computers. I've been trying to do like a
hacker man thing and I'm just not very good.
I mean like I I I. So VV the other, you can see
this person sort of get really nervous and you're looking
through Vanna White. You recognize this woman.
She's the one you had a lovely experience with when you asked
the Maelstrom to leave with. So you gave the the people
there? The Taser Boy plushie.
VV walks past Vendel and Retro by Vanna White and just hold on
guys. I think it it looks like Iona's
having a rough time in there and I think I know this person.
You do. Yeah, last time I was here it
it, it's a long story. Let me see if I can help him
out. Go for it.
All right, Vivi, you head underneath this glass awning
behind Iona, and you recognize the person behind the desk as
Janice. Hi, Janice.
Remember Me? Oh, doctor woman, yes.
Hello, my name is Vivi. Is this is this your order as
well? You work for the radio station.
I'm kind of just like a colleague.
I, I, I love them. Yes, so do.
You know each. Other Yes, Yes, OK, yes I I know
this is a whole like complicated mess.
I heard some of the you know, the story had been.
Yeah, we just had a massive glitch and like, like the
computer just like fried. It went green and checkered.
I swear I saw an eye and then it just went away.
I think we just got some black bug or a, or a virus or
something and then like that order and then like the the
where what van it was put in was all deleted.
The only thing I'm fairly certain is that it hasn't left
the lot yet. And Barry said he'd look for it.
He's in the back. But I'm really sorry.
And I know that you guys paid for insurance and frankly, like
if I can't find it, it does come out on my paycheck.
So I am trying my best. I'm just not a very good hacker.
So I don't know like what van it ended up in.
And then obviously once you give me your your valid package
ticket, I can hand it over because I need that for the for
the paperwork. The the one that they left on
the on the door to the radio station.
And then as it's happening, I'm unzipping my jacket because I
realize it says Biotechnica on it and hold it up and put it
across my. OK, roll me some kind of sleight
of hand or stealth or something. You'll.
Probably get away with wardrobe and style since it is clothing
related. Yeah, I think my stealth is
higher all right. 13 yeah, that passes.
That's an an everyday task to do that simply and it's easier
because VV is causing a distraction, which is very
helpful. Thank you, VV.
You know, we might be able to
help with that whole. What was it you said was like a
virus problem? You are like stuff was going up.
Yeah, the company net runner is on like back order, and even
though management's shutting down my neck, they won't answer
me when I ask for like a requisition for a net runner.
So I'm just kind of fucked. We have a great net runner.
We have a guy we can we can give him a call.
He'll be here maybe in like 10-15 minutes and OK, you won't
even have to worry about that and they'll be so happy when you
get the problem taking care. OK, do do, do I have to like pay
you for that service? Don't.
Even worry about it, look, it just it helps us, it helps us,
it helps. You know, I it was so nice when
you came by and no one got hurt. Like I've seen so much like
violence. Out here, I know it's rough out
there in Night City. So thanks.
Yeah, yeah. That that's nice.
I'm I'm glad that so far it's all been good.
So we'll we'll help you out here.
Vendell calls Iona in their earpiece.
I. Probably could just like plug
our tile into the computer and fresh could do it remotely if
you want. Unless you want me to get them
down here, but I could take some time.
I could take some time. No, absolutely.
Hold on. I'm, I'm, I'm speaking with my
assistant to right, Yeah. Corporate stuff.
Yeah, go ahead and go ahead and just let them know that we're
we're going to be connecting. Janice, is it?
Yes, that's me. Hi.
So what we're going to be doing just to help you out, would you,
would you just plug in the tiles so he can access it and he can?
Oh yeah, but Romy Persuasion, one more time and I'll let you
in. Sure, absolutely.
'Cause I mean you, you still haven't shown me your ticket.
You just told me their number. The one that hmm.
Let me, Oh my, I don't have my bag.
Silly of me. I don't have my bag.
Persuasion 23. All right.
Well, I mean, if you guys just want to come in, you can.
And see her push a button and the door opens to the little
office. They have little waiting area
and you can step inside. Thank you.
Yeah, I've.
I must have put it in my bag. And as you can see it, all I
have is my jacket. Right, yes.
And maybe your assistant can get it retro, retro, retro while
they're going inside. How's your forgery?
My forgeries, OK, OK. We need a we need a pass over
seat. OK, let me.
Let me. Wow, that was cool.
Right. Isn't it fucking cool the way
the roof is? Is so deep.
It's so cool. This forehead layer is amazing.
Let's see if I could just pull something into my ticker tape.
Forgery 18 You managed to forge a UPNS receipt that as long as
the person who reads it does not roll over an 18, we'll believe
it is the package receipt for this package.
Literally pulled out of my ass. That's very funny.
And Iona is now inside Vivi. Are you inside as well?
Yeah, I'll join Iona. Good, right?
So you're inside, you're sitting on sofas inside of this tiny
little room. You can see the commuter that
Janice is using. She relocks the door, assuming
no one else is going to come in. And then there's a vending
machine in here and then a door in front of you across from the
sofa that says staff only. In the roof you can see two
skylights that look up towards the sky.
And so it lets in a little bit of natural light as well.
So meanwhile, nice. Meanwhile, Jeff has disappeared
from everyone else. Yeah, see, I thought that me and
Vandel were going to be doing a, you know, going around the back
type of situation. So.
Just give me a second. Vandel is headed toward the
front to hand Janice the package note that has been printed out
of Retro's ass, and then Vandel goes to walk back to Vandel over
here. What do?
You. What do you?
What do you need? So I thought maybe we would, you
could, you could kind of like vault me over this wall so we
can get to their parking lot and then we can kind of go around
the back and and I guess see if there's any way in or something.
I don't know. I'm thinking as simple as I go.
Right. I, I think that I'm going to be
real. Doing it at this particular spot
is going to be harder stealth wise.
We should do it where there's no one around, like on the other
street around the corner. If.
There's a guy here and he'll get like, he'll know it.
Isn't he sleeping? He is, but like that just makes
the stealth harder in this corner, whereas if you go around
the corner there's like other. Stuff walks down the sidewalk,
past some streetlights and some vending machines.
But on this wall, there's no one.
There's no parking. There's these two vending
machines. And as you pass by them, you're
fairly certain that you'll be able to jump off the bench that
is in front of you, jump onto the vending machine and clamber
over the wall. Or you can see further down
there is a big gate that's locked like a drive through gate
where all the vehicles go in and out.
But what am I if not athletic, you know?
Right. This is going to be an easier DV
because there's no one around. And I'm going to tell you the
truth with your 19 you just rolled, you would have failed
that and woken him up because it was a 21.
What we what would we have done? Sadness.
As you jump on top of the wall, though, you see that there are
two guys sitting on a sofa facing away from you as you're
on top of the wall and put you right here, right?
Oh no, no, I'm going to put you right here.
So you're on top of the wall. Now assume that that position is
on top of the wall and you can see into the back lot.
They have not seen you yet, but you will require to roll a
stealth to know anything else. You are welcome to look around,
ask about what you see before you do so.
Stealth 29. They do not see you.
You get to stay on top of the wall.
Right now the wall stops at the buildings and if you get to the
building, you'll be going on the rooftop.
And So what I'm what, what Jeb sees as he's looking into this
parking lot is like the a bunch of like delivery trucks.
You see a bunch of delivery trucks, a few prob, probably
personal vehicles that are black.
If you roll perception, I'll let you know what other things you
can see. 20 yeah, over on the right hand side on top of the
roof to your right, you can see that the other building that
Iona is not in has a hatch on the roof.
OK, find out, find out. Get up here.
I think we can get in through a hatch on the top of this roof
over here. OK, I need to roll perception.
Oh, not perception athletics. Sorry I have to do this.
Jump let. Me, let me let me move out of
your way. OK, you're old.
Really. Well, on Stealth they can't hear
us Athletics 11. And Bendel falls off the vending
machine onto the ground in the street.
Ow. Oh boy.
Oh. That's four HP damage.
Ow ow ow ow. I hurt my flesh legs.
That was my funny. Ball.
You can hear Bendell complaining over the radio.
Iona. I didn't roll a crit fail but it
was just as bad. Yikes.
I'm going to try again. So jump off the bench, right?
Yeah, yeah, yeah. Bench like this?
Yeah, bench and then on top of the the vending machine and then
on top of the the wall. It's my fault, there was some
really good St. on the side of this and they did it in a 3D way
and I thought it was an actual box.
I fucked up. Vendell does a forward cartwheel
with like a little spin with their hand and lands on top of
the vending machine, silently rolling 17 Dance.
I thought athletic was a bad idea.
Did you like my little dance? It was nausea.
Thanks. All right, I'm going to roll
steals and join you on the wall 15.
Yeah, with your crit success I aroused no suspicion.
I am the night and and the night.
Take Take us to the Hatch. Right, so Vendel and yourself
move on top of the building and you're looking at this hatch.
To open it silently roll something.
It doesn't have to be stealth. But it could.
Be could be. GM, may I interject at this
point? Yes, you may, while they're
working on that. So noticing that there's
probably going to be quite a bit of subterfuge and working around
that, I would like to know a couple of things.
First, around the area, is there any kind of digital or smart
billboard or large advertisement screen?
Yes, there are. So on the outside of this
building, you can see these sort of bumps that are in different
colours. The yellow ones are all
Biotechnica commercials, the purple ones are all Continental
brand and the green ones are so built.
OK, I would like to take control of a pretty large size screen,
maybe one of. Them.
There's one right across from Vanna White, there's one right
behind that yellow bench. You can see a Biotechnica
branded one. I would like to hack into that
particular screen and using my agent, stream the ongoing
stickball match between the vampires and the Bozos.
OK, sure. Trying to cause a distraction
for people to come and watch slash, maybe make bets on.
So maybe this will be a a overall distraction for guards,
people on breaks, so forth. Sure.
Yeah, Yeah, you you'd have to roll pretty well for them to
hear it out here. I boosted through Vanna White's
My Speakers. Sure.
Yeah, I can do that. That sounds good.
That sounds like a plan. So I rolled a land vehicle tech
for boosting those sound 2 speakers to be able to pull it
off. All right, yeah, You've rolled
high enough that one of the guards in the back is confused
and then heads out as you didn't roll a crit.
You do. You don't get both, but one
starts making his way around the lot.
Actually, no, he goes he doesn't go through the back because
that's not the shortest distance.
He doesn't go through the back gate.
He goes through the building itself.
So you watch him go through the building Iona, you see this guy
come through the building and into the room that you're in.
Nod at Janice. So I'm.
Going to go and check out what's happening, I said.
Barry's in the back by the. Way I go that Janice locks the
door behind him and he comes outside to join you.
Alright. What's?
What's going on? I was just watching the the
booster gangers doing their their their stickball fight.
Oh shit. Versus the that's.
Cool. Yeah, man, did you like, did you
hack? This is way bigger than my like
pocket screen. Nice, right?
Didn't be able to watch. Hey, look, you know, we're,
we're just starting off taking bets.
Hey, you know what? I'm meant to be working in the
back, like guarding vehicles and shit.
But you know what? I'm going to stand here instead
and smoke a cigarette. Do you want that?
Sounds good. Yeah, I'll take a cigarette too.
And so you have now distracted this guy with this stick ball
game and he's now smoking a cigarette with you.
On top of the building remains Ben Dell and Jeb.
They rolled really high on stealth with the 21 and you
managed to open the Hatch and noticed that there is a man
sleeping in the room below you. Jeb.
No, Yeah, the I'm just, I can't see.
Am I like, is it? Is it?
Is he the one that's like right next to us?
There's two catches, one on either side.
There's one on either side and you can see.
Yeah, he he's now that you're on top of the building, you can see
down through a skylight and he's lying on a sofa asleep.
But right. But the one further away from
us, The one closer to us. So where?
Right here. OK.
Further away, yeah. Underneath you there is no one
on that sofa, but jumping down from this hatch you can take
advantage of the sofa as a soft landing and it'll give you a + 1
to stealth 'cause you rolled so high.
Yeah, we're gonna do the thing. We're gonna Jeb's gonna do the
thing that's like, you know, Mission Impossible style, like
swing in from the, the Hatch in the ceiling and then like spin
the legs through the arms and then slowly drop down, landing
like Spider man landing onto the cushion of the sofa below.
Great roll for it. And then he fights OK.
Do you have any inspiration 'cause you just wrote a crit
face? Excuse me, I had inspiration at
one point. But you know what's fun?
Failure can be fun. You guys never forget.
It can be fun, never forget it. That the story.
If you're OK failing, I'm just asking for you so that you can
check. I'm not.
If I do, I'm not going to use it.
Fair enough, Vendel is still on top of the building but you you
are inside the building on the ground and you falling with your
crit fail above 0 attenate does wake this guy in the room who's
wearing a name badge that says Daniel and he wakes up.
Hey, Dan. Who the fuck are you?
Why is the Hatch open? We're just checking to see if
all the exits are up to code, and I'll tell you that thing
just popped right open. Phil, Phil, what, 10 feet it.
I'm gonna tell you if this, if this couch wasn't right
underneath it, I would have hurt myself.
Hurt myself bad. Yeah.
And. If I wasn't in here, you
probably would have taken damage for that could fail, right?
Well. I imagine so, but thankfully,
you know, I got my associate up there and they're going to be.
This this morning. Just fine.
Oh well, You think you think we do want to?
You think that we do a an expansion?
I don't know man. And he stands up.
He's taller than you. He is a beefy man.
Damn. Daniel.
I don't know man. I don't know man, it's pretty
sauce. Persuasion.
This is going to be tough because your crit fails.
So I'm going to tell you your DV straight out is a 17 on
persuasion. No, the crit fail means this
should be hard. A 21 on Persuasion.
Well, Dan, you know, I don't, I don't know when the last time
that you met one of the Union inspectors, but we usually come,
you know, in in these clothes. Like a cowboy.
Well, not necessarily the the cowboy, just, you know, No, you
should have. Been.
Plain, plain you. Literally rolled 1 below what
you need and this guy obviously doesn't believe you and you see
him reach for his radio. What do you do, Jeb?
I'm going to grab them and like put them into a headlock.
Next time on no latency. I like.
You. I don't want nothing to happen
to you. Just go back to sleep.
Uh Oh, my flash leg. So much good vibes here, you
know? Vinda, you're supposed to aim
for the couch You. Get doctors everywhere.
So push the bangs that are hanging across her face behind
her ear. There's one or more interfaces
going on right now. Janice, you are just.
Audible gasps No. No.
No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.
The cushions off of the of the couch put it in the couch, they
put the cushions off. Oh God.
Freeze. He's about to perform a multiple
tracheotomy with her gun. What did you call me?
You shouldn't have said that. Oh, she's about to get surgery?
Roll on your ass. It's time to die this.
Is Vendel's very bad? Horrible.
No. Good day.
Take the shot, Vendel, OH. Yeah, I don't know if I can hear
that. I'm all the way outside watching
a stickball game. All right, so maybe just finish
off the the mask broken arm, man.
Perfect. That's the boss.
That's the boss, yes. He's almost done.
