Last time on no latency. Is that extreme retail therapy
or just regular retail therapy? I don't.
Think I knew it was going to fight.
They closed at first fight, so no.
Fights. I'll let Vivi know that we're on
our way to the last month. See you there I.
Have $10,000 in euro cash. Well, that's nice.
Oh, hey guys. Hi, baby, how?
Are you doc? It's a lot of money and I
starting to get to me a little bit.
Alright, if you say so. Excuse me fresh.
You're doing your Doo wop. Crazy son of a bitch.
He's only like 3 years old. Ayona is pretty good at this
actually. But what?
What do we want for Domino? Right, Domino?
Yes, This isn't all about about me.
Quality doesn't matter. No, no, retro.
Are is that a weapon you have there?
Oh boy. Sir, what are you doing?
Retro. Retro, what are you doing?
Are you threatening me? Here we go.
Are you threatening me? No, no, don't.
Don't do that. I think you're threatening me.
No, I'm not. Sir, what are you doing with
your hands? They're on the desk, not moving.
Don't. Don't do that.
No, no, I can lean slightly to the right and look cooler this
way. It's my good side.
When they lean to the right, I'm going to face plant my head and
do the counter. Your head to the counter.
Why? Why Remy Remy, Why would you?
I'm not doing anything. He just hit me and then I'm
going to do it again. Roll rolling.
And throw myself over the counter.
Oh boy, here we go. I've I've.
Seen this happen on the body, the body Cam footage that they
release on the garden, you know what I mean?
People, people fake this stuff all the time. 18 You
successfully do this trick without hurting yourself.
That's essentially what I think is the most important part in
this particular moment. I learned it from watching a lot
of WWA wrestling. I've learned how to take bumps.
A. Lot of people learn how to do
that in their college days. Yeah, I I did go to wrestling
school for a little bit, but I just wasn't tough enough.
I'm glad that the shop you're any of this.
Maybe it was the TV head that you know.
Didn't really help. Yeah, I couldn't.
I couldn't get the the, I couldn't get the helmet on.
They said that it wasn't. Allowed retro.
You fling yourself over the counter and you land on the
other side and there's a gasp in the crowd and the other vendors
that can see this area look over and see the vendor leaning to
his right with his hands down. The thing is, dude is right is
away from you, not towards, so it just looks like he avoids you
jumping at him. Oh.
Boy, that really helps the story.
Retro you rolled a crit fail, a crit fail on acting and the the
the shopkeep looks down at you I.
Don't know how I could do that. I studied with Julia.
Look. You didn't graduate you.
Didn't graduate, obviously. Look here, let me help you up.
Come on, you're not the first person who's tried to like I've
been. I've been selling at the market
for a while. I sold them their feet.
Do they work? Yes, thank you.
They're really I, I think skate feet.
Very cool. Sorry, I'm interrupting.
Please continue. Look, I've got one item.
You guys seem like you have loads of money, yes, No, they do
have a lot of money. It's right there.
They've got the money. That one right there has got a
lot of money in their bank account because they're rich and
successful, I mean. Can't you tell?
I'm suave. Hair flip.
Hair Flip. I thought your name was Clive.
It's the same in Welsh and he points.
And sort of awkwardly go leaves the area, leaves the view of the
the argument and goes to like fiddle around one of the cases
rather embarrassed and he feels a little scolded by Iona.
Look, I've got this. I've got this.
Hand. It's a pair of hands and they
are three link digits. Can drill, it can chop, and it
works as a heavy MLA weapon. OK.
Only got 1 and if you stop this I'll sell it to you.
Wow, you are an actual nice person.
Because some of the other people here, they might get aggravated
and just tell us to get the hell out of here.
But. But no.
But no, you just. You're still offering your wares
to us. That is appreciate.
He wrote a. Crit fail.
That was really embarrassing and that guy over there still
laughing at him so. Well, yeah, that's true.
That's kind. Of feels like the situation
solved. Itself, thanks to that crit
fail, going to be real. To be honest, the only thing
that's really hurt here is my pride.
Yep, I see. That.
That'll be 4 grand. Listen, I'm very sorry for my
friend. They didn't get much of the
attention they were looking for by doing the stunt.
So the Iona Hagel VB says under her breath.
I've I know, I know. When the story comes in, it's
the Iona Hagel, Jeb. It's going to do that, Dale.
So I'd like to take over from here if that's all right.
I see you're. A very civilized person and it's
easier to do business in such a manner.
I'm also heavily bogged up so no one's really going to fuck with
me. That's wonderful, isn't it?
See. And you, you can take care of
your own problems. So let's take care of one of
mine. All three eyes on this person
focus on you. I'm not going to make a
ridiculous offer to you because I respect you, so I'm just going
to ask for 3500. No for it.
Bureaucracy role. I'm doing persuasion.
Oh, should. Have asked for a ridiculous
number. That is a crit 26.
Well done. Well done, Iona.
Let's see. I was going to charge you 2500
for the stunt with all the other stuff you wanted.
What was it? Let's have a look It was the
subdermal armor pop up shotgun, the extra limbs for cyber arms
and the software that comes with it.
Of course I'll. Tell you what, 30 to 50 with the
new hands and the mounting hardware and he goes away.
Done, Remy. Yeah, Remy's stopped making
faces behind them and goes OK, yeah, sure.
Thank you. Right, Just tap your card over
here. Sure, I can do that.
I tap instead of revealing the abuse D.
Really. The well you can just deposit it
later. Exactly.
Interesting. Reveal this giant case of Cash
I. Mean it's smart that yeah,
opening up this thing more than. Because everyone's attention is
on you right now, it would be quite difficult.
Right. Yeah, that's exactly.
You know what? Inspiration.
Very good move. Well done.
That's that's that's a that's a checkmate to AGM trying to track
you. Well done.
No, I'm not stupid. That's smart.
Don't I get, don't I get nice things because I helped Diana?
You wrote a quick fail, my guy. We had a great role play moment.
I had so much fun. Thank you, that was fun.
Well, I was getting more of the fact of like because they they
failed it the first time. I had to make a scene of myself
so they could get a Super Bowl this time.
How many inspirations are you currently banking?
Oh, I don't have any. I ran out.
I didn't want to. I didn't want an inspiration.
I just, I just wanted praise, that's all.
No, no, you've got praise. You're.
Doing well. Thank you.
You've got me an inspiration, so I appreciate that.
And the person behind this counter helps Retro up retro.
You get up and now that you're out of there, this person starts
to load the things into a little box that they'll sit in.
It's not like armored or anything, but it'll keep it neat
and they all kind of Tetris their way into it.
It's a Tetramino selling box I suppose.
And as they they fill it, they watch it with two of their eyes.
But keep one eye on retro with this slight squint as you are
still a little close. I know, I know what he's
checking out, checking out a new washboard ABS that I got.
He's been eyeing me up the whole time.
That's why I thought I could get away with this.
Who fell over? Who?
Who fell over? Who's who?
Iona, Phoebe, how are you? It's so good to see you.
I'm. Vivian so so wonderful for her
usual. Is Jane here?
Jane. No, she's right there.
She's looking at what's that place?
Other deadly shit. Cool names.
Love that. Janie.
Jane. Yes.
Hi. Hello.
Hi, Jane, How are you? Good to see you both again.
Good to see you too. I heard some guy fell over.
Was it funny? It was it.
Was quite funny. You would have you would have
absolutely keeled over laughing. I do love laughing.
Oh. No, I I grabbed Vivian's arm.
Oh, I'm. I'm.
Are you all right? I guess I should know.
Are you all right? I'm.
I didn't, I didn't think the drugs would kick in.
Now, did I take any drugs, Janie?
Did I take any drugs? Not yet.
You said not till after the market.
OK, well if you'll excuse me, I have to faint.
And she passes out and falls to the ground.
I catch her. I catch her.
I. Was already.
Holding on to her. So one second, I'm not letting
anything happen to sweet Vivian. What am I?
What was I? Athletics.
If you catch him. Yeah, it's good enough.
Yeah, very good. Yeah, you catch Vivian in your
arm. Big, burly, strong arms.
Because you're actually Iona's pretty put off.
Big big mommy moment. Big mommy moment and then V is
directly on the other side and sees you catch them.
Roll Human perception or. Perception doodle you do.
And as you catch her Iona, you notice that there is a dart.
I Vendel. Vendel, could you could you help
me bring her to this, to this bench over here?
Yes. I'm I'm coming.
You can keep that in a box. Jeb, get the box.
All right. If you could like do something
for this poor lady like. I'm I'm trying to she just
passed out. I know.
Do they have? Like a Like a an issue or
something. Like that, we're going to take
her to the bench and I'm going to check.
Do you you all? Are you trying to hide the fact
that this woman is painted? I am.
I'm just about to tell them that you, we shouldn't, we shouldn't
make a big scene around Vivian, especially with her, you know,
reputation around here. So we should probably, you know,
disperse, go shopping. Elvis or I mean, are you going
to take care of it? Vivian Bendel and I will stay
here with Jane. No, we need to.
We, I'm sorry, do we need to make a scene away from Vivian so
no one pays a lesson to this? And a nonviolent 1 baller.
Fall over the counter again. Yeah, offering autographs or
something, I don't know, just fuck off.
What? About close up magic.
Whatever you've got, Jeb, just make a distraction that isn't a
fight. I know that's a tough one for
you too. Jeb, let's go with the flash mob
idea. All right, Retro is going to
quickly walk a couple weeks away, start playing some royalty
free music that we can use and start.
Music playing currently at the market, by the way, but.
We're going to do it as loud as we can and start doing our, our
routine dance moves that we've been doing outside of our, our
missions that we've just been kind of coming up together in
case a moment like this was needed.
And try to get other people around to either a watch or B
join in if they can, because this is fun for everyone.
I'm so glad we practiced these dance moves. 12345678812345678.
That fades into the distance as you guys start a flash mob in
the background and people start to dance with you.
You're sort of in the the central area now of the glass
market and a bunch of locals have got up to dance with you
and no one's paying any attention whatsoever to the fact
that Vivian has lost consciousness.
But also because Clive is now break dancing along with you in
the middle with their extra arms and it looks pretty badass.
There's a little bit of extra spin that he can get now that he
has his brand new. Because he can do head stands on
his third arm. No, but he's got a brand new Red
Hat and it's like helps with the spinning.
Oh, I. Thought he was just doing it
with his like. He has many moves by guy.
You are seeing some like, supreme stuff, you know, like
this is this is the kind of stuff that would win the
Olympics anyway. Like the dinosaur pose.
Yes, like the dinosaur pose. Retro.
Exactly. Meanwhile, on the other side of
the market, in a little bit of a corner near an exit, Vivian is
unconscious on a bench. OK, I'm going to take a look at
her and see if I can figure out what happened.
Is she OK? She's going to be just fine.
I'm sanitizing myself. Oh no.
Oh, oh God. I'm I I you've.
Run out of sanitizer. Yeah, I noticed that.
A voice in the sky. I If you wouldn't mind taking
care of this, Phoebe and Vendell, just watch Vivian.
Jane, you're going to be just fine.
I have to go. I will be right back.
OK, that was strange. I don't care to Vendell.
All right. Well, I will take a look at
Vivian. You have done a great job.
You put out your scanner you because you rolled over 22.
You remembered to turn it down because it speaks.
To scanning myotoxin detected cardiac arrest cardiac.
Arrest. Holy shit.
Oh God. I I, I say holy shit.
But I. What is holy?
Shit, is she OK? She's going to be OK, right?
There is a severe biotoxin in her and her heart is shutting
down. So no, she's not OK.
Vivian starts to phone the mouth.
Like Oh my goodness, what I know like do I need is there like an
anti like venom or something to help with something like this?
Would I? Would vivi know I?
Think so? You're a medical professional.
You've worked. Trauma.
OK one moment I think I have a anti toxin in my bag.
I carry quite a few just in case.
One SEC OK, yes, this one in this file.
OK, This should help her. This should help her.
And I'm going to administer an antioxidant. 474. 170 Eddies.
It's the most, it's the most comprehensive biotoxin antigen
you have and it's the one that does almost everyone.
And unfortunately you don't have a lot of time to examine it on
the micro scale. Yep, I quickly scramble, grab
that, pay the fees to trauma team for the usage of this and I
administer. Gets released from this pay for
pack in your bag. That's no cyber.
Yeah, it's like anything. It's like a refrigerator at a
hotel. Like anything I take from that
they will charge me so. It's comprehensive as anything
but. You pay per item.
That is so good, I love that. That's right, some 100 rules.
That's sick of shit. Anyway please.
Continue that just got charged to my account.
OK, all right. This should help her and I
administer the biotoxin. Or the anti venom.
In the process of doing all of this, you also grab the syringe
itself that she was hit with the dart.
Oh yes, in your bag in the section that doesn't cost you
anything. And then if there's a bit of
storage in there and you jam it into her jugular.
Her eyes burst open and she inhales the foam that was coming
out of her mouth. A couple of Pats on the back and
I just, like, put my hands on her shoulders and just.
You're OK, you're OK, you're OK. Yeah, that'll taste a little
nasty, but you're going to be all right.
Oh, did I OD again? Jane?
We leave the EpiPen in the car. No, no, no.
Hey, Vivian, you were somebody. Somebody.
Darted you. Darted me is that a young person
lingo should I should I make really owe more cleavage Let's.
Go Somebody tried to assassinate you.
Oh well, that's no fun. I found a poison dart in your
neck that had a deadly biotoxin that was slow, that was quickly
killing you and I just. Leave a mark you see.
No, it is quite minuscule. My God, I don't want to do my
neck again. Not this year, just.
A little prick that'll get you. Retro you're.
Not here. Oh.
No, that's on the radio. That's fun.
Dancing. No, Vivian, I'm sorry, this is
really weird. I keep on and call you VV
because my name is also Vivian. Right.
Yeah, no. People call me VV, so it's very
weird. But anyway, does it not bother
you that somebody? Do you have any enemies?
Oh, loads. Any enemies who frequent this
area? Well, I mean, I did post on the
socials that I'd be here so everyone would know that I'm
here. OK, well.
But I mean, in recent memory, I did steal that guy's assistant,
Jane. Jenny Wayne.
She's great. I love her.
What was it? What was his name?
The Brain Guy really, post him off that night, it's a bad 1.
He hit on me. That's the kind of bullshit that
he'd do. I probably wouldn't die.
What was that? You sold the assistant of what's
his name? He also can't remember his name.
The guy that I freaking. The guy, the guy that I made out
with, you're not. No, I love.
It you can't remember his name. Phoebe would remember.
Tracy can't. Remember, hold on, we got.
Everybody. Hold on, I have to go back to my
name. Danny Dark side.
Danny dark side. Thanks.
That's right, yes, Danny's assistant.
That's who you worked for, right, Jane?
I could have just told you. You.
Stole his assistant. Yeah, Iota helped.
Yeah, that's right. Iota's pacing very quickly
around the market, trying to find sanitizer just kind of
like. Well, Perception me.
Yeah. To find it, you're going to have
to rob Perception. I just want to make sure that
everybody can hear me in the background.
Just give me, give me a good Yeah, keep going.
This is a bit more stepping something squishy and then you
think about vomiting. Yes.
Is there a food court in the glass market?
No, there's no, there's no. Food that gets sold here?
Really. There are a few vending
machines, but most people bring food like there's a there's a
neon freeze nearby and the Bubble Cafe isn't that far.
Oh. Can I go to a vending machine?
Yeah. There's some on the outside of
the walls, and there's some to the West.
I'd love to go there. I want to see if they have some
boneless wings. Sure, go and roll perception.
You find Iona panicking. Hey, what's what's wrong with
you? Have you seen any sanitizer?
No, no, no, I haven't seen any. Sanitizer.
And as Retro says that, he leans on a vending machine and right
underneath his hand, underneath the glass, is a tube of hand
sanitizer. Because you're modulating.
I had a plan. I was going to do something.
I know what you were going to do too.
Get out of here. Get out of here, You stinker for
you. I I I booty bump retro out of
the way. Booty Bump Retro out of the way.
This hand sanitizer is 270 eddies.
I give it half. Away I give.
It half away. Cool.
Machine dispenses a new canister which fits into your arm unit
and you see that there are two left in the machine.
I I just take the one. Yeah, and you see that there is
chicken fried kibble in the other vending machine.
It's cheap though. It's cheap.
Yeah, it's like 22 eddies a bag and the bag serves like 4.
Does. It come?
Does it come with the wipes afterwards so my fingers don't
get all sticky? No, the wipes are extra.
You know what, I want to get wipes because you know I don't
need to get my fingers all bad. The wipes are an annoying 7 per
packet. How many are there?
7. So 40 I don't.
Know how mad? Well, Jeb, Oh my goodness.
Sorry, I saw you guys were doing some math so I thought I'd pop
in. Well, good big Jeb.
Yes, yes, I do love your your calculator brain.
There's something about you that I love as a savant that you have
of just being able to put numbers together.
It's really just the the the multiplication tables all I got.
Now do you go parentheses, multiplication and so forth?
Or do you or you do brackets I. Have no idea what you're talking
about. Are you a PEMDAS or you a beat
ass? Beat ass.
I mean, sometimes. I suppose mostly I should.
So. So do you buy all 7 packets?
Yeah. OK, you buy all 7 packets and
the fried chicken and confused Jeb.
Why? Nice.
Very good. Awesome.
Yeah. I'm going to make my way back to
Vivienne. Cool, are you 2 safe away still?
We don't. We still don't need a big crowd
around her. I don't know how she is do.
We do we still need to make a scene or do, but yeah, all
right, Jeb, let's do, let's let's do the Bollywood one this
time. Well, all right.
Now I'm really depending on you this because you're the one who
really has a dance moves down. So you got to you got to kick it
into high gear on this one. Well that's true.
I have been working on my on that like slag with the with
with the knees and then hop up. Yep.
Then you do. The the, the hand chest
vibration, yeah. You got to be careful though
because it's perfect down here, so don't burn.
It's true. All right, I have to get a.
Little bit more run. A little more speed.
And they fade off into the distance to create another
distraction. Roll for it.
And Iona, you arrived to Vivienne and Vivi at the bench
you left them at. Vivienne looks a little
disheveled. So somebody tried to kill
Vivienne? Oh, again, I know.
And I'm pretty sure it's Danny Dark Side or somebody that works
for him. Oh.
Whoa. I knew this was going to come
back and fight. Because of the assistant thing.
Yeah, yeah. And Vivienne posted on the
garden for everybody to see that she would be here tonight, so
you know. Why is that a problem, Janie?
Is that a problem? Normally it's not a problem, but
if you have enemies. Oh, maybe do it afterwards?
Yeah post it the next day so I'm nowhere near exactly is that
what I should be doing to keep myself safe Yes crazy no one
told me education system as am I right this.
Angled technology, it's still, we're still trying to learn the
best ways to protect ourselves on on the garden, you know?
Yeah, otherwise your life could be online, right?
Right. Oh, it's too real.
Oh, it's too real in here. Is she all right?
Can we like? Yes.
Well, no, I feel fine. It's just a little bit of a my
my heart feels honey, so I'll just I just got a new one next
week. Want to run on a bad ticker?
I suppose I should leave. Otherwise there could be a fight
and then you won't be able to do your purchases.
I don't see any bags, baby. Oh, they're all being held
behind the counters. We plan on being here for a
while. Oh, OK, well, I know Danny wants
me dead. There are only a.
Few. I mean, maybe he wants me dead.
Maybe he just wanted to scare me.
Maybe you knew I'd get saved by someone fabulous like you.
No, not you, Jane. Just be careful because next
time there may not be a conveniently placed Med tech
next to you. Oh.
Right. Yes, that's right.
Jane, are you a Ventec? No, she is.
Oh, fuck. Right.
Sorry. Whatever you gave me, it's
loopy. Do you have anything else for
me? Make me feel better?
You know I'm. I'm down a third of my HP.
So. It's a bad day.
I can give you some stimulants. Oh, now we're talking.
Here you go. Well.
Thank you, honey. You know what?
I'm going to take that from the, the, the charge thing.
My we need to come up with a name for this.
My Med tech bag, my trauma team charge pack.
Yeah. It only cut this the the
stimulants really cheap. It's like 20 eddies.
It's like a nothing but she hands you 100.
Eddie Bill. Thanks.
Maybe. Thanks.
You've got to tip your doctors. It's a dystopia that am I right?
I just go this way. Shall I go this way to the right
or shall I go that way? Which would you think is the
safest? I imagine this is a pretty big
decision. Here where?
Where are you? Where is your car coming from?
Do you know? Can you call the car?
Let's just do it now. Where do you want it to land,
West or east? Are we?
We're parked. If.
You'd like to. Try and remember anything about
when she fainted. You're all local expert.
It seems important, so I will people.
Local expert is a base of four. You've lived in Night City for a
while. You haven't put any points into
it though, so I yeah, you've got 12.
I'm going to say Iona gets no, no, I see.
I only get 6 to local expert and.
Because back, back. Backroom stuff that she's been
involved in and Tracy, you get 5 because you have done trauma
team stuff. So 13, yeah. 14 over here. 14
Yeah, I am a slightly higher. So that's above mid as a 14 Iona
Vivi, what you remember is something going past your ear.
Yeah. Yep, and what you remember,
Iona, is someone left by the east entrance just after Vivi's
hair kind of floofed in the air. Now was Vivi standing next to me
at the I'm I'm looking at the map from where Jane was standing
to the east of me with Vivian. Yes, Jane is where Vivi was if
Vivian was Vivi. Wow, that.
Made it even more confusing. Essentially, Vivienne was
between you and Vivi, and it came.
The hair flicked towards you. So came from the east, yes, so I
was correct. What we're going to do is we're
going to escort you to where our van is and I'm I'm going to send
Vivienne a pin or I'm going to send Jane a pin of where we
parked Vanna White. So call the car there.
And that way we will move as a group and then retro and retro
and who's the other one? Jeb can protect us as well.
So I just we're going to come away from this opening of the
market. In your dancing, Jeb and your
movement, you've inspired a bunch of people.
There's a conga line of citizens and notable people jumping
through the market. A few of the vendors are a
little pissed off because they could be customers right now,
but everyone's having a pretty good time.
You found a can of shine. If you want to drink that while
you dance, you can. Don't mind 5 do 5678.
Don't resist watching drugs. 785 32 I lost care but that's
alright. I'm still going.
I'm vibing. And the music keeps playing.
Everybody with Vivienne is walking her to the West exit,
and Jeb manages to cause a crowd to actually block the South
entrance so that you are not seen moving through the crowd.
And there in the opening is a black vehicle waiting in a
parking space for Vivienne. Together in a big land.
Big land right there from that door.
Perfect and kick and kick and kick.
Yeah. Yeah, that's it, champ.
I didn't know you could do the splits.
I can't. Roll high enough not to be re
addicted to shine but it does give you plus one to a few
things including athletics if you want to try and do the
splits again. You know what I'm feeling?
Feeling confident. Let's do it again.
Oh. Sixteens.
Out you managed to do a split where you bend the front leg
which stops you from hurting your gonads.
There's close one there. We got through it nice.
And Vivian is by the car in front of VV and all.
Right darling, please don't post where you're going to be.
Post afterwards. Where I'm coming from.
Exactly, and if you have any issue with Mr. Dark Side, I
suppose let us know because I do feel bad.
It is my. Fault.
No, no, it's fine. I'll put a hit on him too.
We'll have our Tay Todd today. Beautiful.
So much better. Yeah.
No, no, Jane, can we put a hit out on Mr. Dark Side?
OK. Yeah, do you?
Want it to be serious? Yeah.
He gave me drugs. This is bullshit.
I would have just slapped him. See you later, honey.
Have a good night. And they drive off.
I love Vivian and Jane. I'm sorry.
Go ahead. Avoided the the the conflict
here at the glass market without a target.
Will the hitman even try? He doesn't even know that you've
done anything because of Jeb's dancing.
And you walk back into the market, where Jeb finishes a
dance and does a little spin. I have a question hit me.
I noticed someone in the crowd and I want to know if I know who
they are. Sure.
I guess I'm going to roll local expert to see if I recognize
this Ram's head that I see here. So it's 15.
Yes, yes, you do. You've heard of his name?
He's a hit man. Rams.
Rams Head. I quickly ducked back into the
market and I can see that he is standing outside the South
entrance. So I'm going to pull Vivi and
Vendel into this little alcove just to just to the the north of
of that entrance There, there the hitman is still here.
Oh yes, I I should probably say it over the comps.
Just so everyone knows there was a hit man and he is still here.
They are still here. I don't, I don't actually know
who they are. I've never met them.
I've just heard of them. Yeah, of course the hit man's
here. Jeb's fucking hitting it out
here on the floor. Awesomely.
The other. People, they got out here.
No, no, just to the South entrance.
The the person with the the I have to peek my head out for a
second. The person with the I'm zooming
in the scary face and the Black Hat.
Well, that definitely makes a good profile for a hitman.
Scary face, dark hat. It's like, I mean, he maybe he
kind of stands out too, you know?
I I think that's Rams head though.
I I think we should. The Rams head.
Oh, yes, yes. That's that's bad.
Why is that bad? Because he did a good job for
Martin. Oh, oh, I know one of one of the
guys that you, I know, you don't remember anybody's name.
He's on the 4th floor. He runs that team.
Had that guy killed. Martin runs the team.
I got that guy killed, I promise you that.
Never mind, he's not gotten to me.
OK, should we take him out before he takes us?
Well, I he's just a working man. Just a working man.
He just tries to assassinate Vivian.
And that's his job. Also, just because they're a hit
man doesn't necessarily mean that they were the ones who did
it. Are we sure that's the only hit
man here? Are there others?
That's like pacing around looking a little pissed off.
I. Mean, he does seem pretty
pissed. But let's take him out.
We should know we can get some info out of them.
We can get some, we can get some details out of him, like whose
next target is who, who else he might be working for if he's
working for our boy Danny Darkside.
That's all. We might not buy you anything.
You're right, my hollow, my hollow gear.
Did you know anything in the end?
Not yet I well, I I have to find what hollow my hollow wear.
I'll just. Go talk with him.
You you go talk with him. I'm going to go buy some gear.
BB as you know because you've been to the glass market a few
times, the clothing and armour bench is to the north, just
around the corner of where you are.
Yes, N just around the corner of where I am, I accidentally walk
into a wall and I go around. Vendel follows Iona down to
where Jeb has finished dancing and you can see Rams head in the
street. He's outside of the glass market
and just pushes some guy fuck out.
Of my weight. He lights a cigarette.
It sits at the edge of the street.
We're going. Are we going?
Let's get out of my way. These people that move.
Did you? Did you start conga line?
Oh my God. Director's just going to dance
through the conga line because retro has rhythm and they can
just easily get through hey. Hey, does that mean, does that
mean we're leaving all of us? Is this a whole whole party
thing? We're gone.
If you want to go ahead and keep rock rolling that you feel more
than no. No, no, no, it's fine.
It's fine. I'm going.
I'm just having fun, but it's fine.
Fuck. I'm going to go.
I'm not going to go outside with, I don't know, I guess then
I'm going to pop up AJ in my mouth and.
Go Why are you behind me? I'm I was about to ask, but
you've got a light. I don't know, I can't find my
lighter. Yeah, puts his finger up towards
you, his middle finger, and then a flame appears.
Pretty edgy. I like that, thanks.
There you go. And he lights another cigarette.
No, you wanted shit you could have asked for.
Before I was just walking up, man, like, hey, you seem pretty
upset if you don't need some. Like if you need somebody to
talk to just to lose fat, I could do that for you.
But it can also just go away. It seems like you just need
somebody to like, kind of like get all this energy out.
Let me look here. I got a joy.
Oh dude. Yeah, here.
Where have you? Have you here?
Sure, and he lights his finger again and lights it and lets you
take the first hit. Here we go, Jim.
Yeah, No, I just. I just failed a job that sucks.
Failed a job? What do you mean you failed a
job? How do you failed a job?
What do you do? Kill people.
Oh like really kill people? Yeah, corporate contracts,
Joseph Lovers. I don't.
I I was looking at when people hurt animals.
I do that for free. You hurt animals for free.
No, I hurt the people who hurt the animals for free.
But are you high? Oh no, sorry.
Yes is the answer. It's all right, Look, I got.
I got a little confused for a second.
I don't know how sweet is this? Oh, this is Spaceship Star
Crush. Is that his name or this string?
Gambi. It's a pretty cool name, I got
to admit it. That's a that's that's Jebediah,
the winner of the blood race. Oh shit.
Yeah. Hey, nice to meet you.
You shake your hand. It's great.
Great to meet you too, Hitman. Yep.
He's an actual hit man. Yep.
Yeah, I'm wondering if maybe you know, how much are your services
because, you know, we, we have had to also kill some people in
the past and honestly, you know, a professional like you might
come in handy sometime. Depends on how hard they want me
to attempt. Like if they kind of just want
me to like scare him a little bit, then it's, it's so I now I,
I, I don't think it worked. So I'm going to have to charge
this guy less shit. That's it man, any way we can
help? I already spent the money.
Oh, does anyone want you dead and I kill you?
Unfortunately, nobody wants you. Do you, do you know of anybody
with ATV for a head that that people want to have dead?
No, some people don't like that DJ calls guy.
Anyway, can I help you guys? Hey man, I.
Wasn't here. To help to let you vent like.
No thanks dude. But there are other people like,
what does this one want, Corporal?
I don't. Even know who these people are,
really. Hi.
Hello. I'm the corporal.
I was. I was introducing myself.
Do you need? Do you need a high?
And he like dusts off his hand and puts his hand out.
Hi, we've never met actually, but you did a job for my
associate Martin. Martin Martin Work Corp.
Oh, 4th floor. Martin Yeah, I killed a guy.
I pushed him off a bridge. Wonderful work, wonderful work.
Everybody was talking about it. It was wonderful.
Who were you? Who were you here for?
Oh, some red headed woman. I was meant to leave the
assistant alive so it could look look like her fault.
It's a really powerful biotoxin. It's expensive.
Who would want? Who would want to kill?
I believe that was Vivienne. She's one of my my dearest,
closest friends. Oh, it's just business.
I'm no. No, no.
But I honestly, I just want to know.
Oh. Look, I, I failed the job.
I think they left their vehicle's not here and he wanted
her dead today. And so if I can't do it today,
then he doesn't want it at all. So I've got to give him back
half because I definitely shot her and there was this person in
the way they were wearing like a, a, a medical jacket and I'm
not around here. But if I'd seen her, I'd be
like, wow, it was their fault, but not here.
So whoever that was, there's something.
And I think she spiked shit. Yeah, shit, That's that's.
Well I got to give half the money back so I need like 1500.
Are you asking me for 1500 for you to tell me who hired you?
Oh yeah, totally like business. Hey, stop Bogart in the joint,
dude. Oh.
Sorry. Thanks.
What about half of that? Well, persuasion.
Oh, persuasion, not perception. 1 second.
One moment I lost it again. Nah, no.
It's hard keeping track of these scales.
Wait, I found it. Nice Persuasion 18.
Sure, 750. Great.
I mean, it's not our fault that you didn't kill your mark today.
No, you know it happens. But but hopefully this helps
ease the blow. I give him 750.
Hey, and thanks for being cool about all of this.
Of course, it's just a job, yeah.
Right, that's nice. You know, I have a a truth
problem. So I just if it's really hard,
like I had to really concentrate not to tell you that it was
Danny dark side. Thank you for the money, by the
way. I just tell it's it's why I do
corpo, because they don't care if you tell them the truth.
Like that guy I killed, you know, the guy I pushed off the
bridge. I also put off both his hands.
For fun. So when you.
Say no, no, I, I, I, I, I I just wanted to.
You're like, you're like Abraham Lincoln if he were an assassin.
Yeah. You just can't help it but tell
the truth. Can't help and you know the hand
cutting thing. Right, right.
Yeah. Cool, we all have our own
things, so. Absolutely good weed TB head
guy. Oh yeah.
Nice. I guess I'm I'm going to be able
to get those tires after all. Pax Shit, that's not what I
expected today. Hey, Jeb, quick question.
Yeah, who cut down a Cherry Tree?
That was George Washington. And what did he say after that?
Take that Cherry Tree. I don't know.
Next to happen? Oh no.
Light and sleep. You design clothes.
Wow. Well.
I don't know why you just don't offer your service.
I can do the 1st 16 would you like that is?
That about the same guy. Look what I got.
Is it on? Are you naked underneath?
Well, that's fine. Could you reverse engineer it so
it's kind of like a stealth? Suit as long as you don't break
it. What happened to that Lady?
Oh, she's fine. What's going on?
Damn. Is it usually this dark?
Is it usually this bumping? That's pretty fucking awesome.
They were keeping it a surprise the whole time.
That's why they didn't tell. You as much sugar as you can.
No way. Yeah.
Ma'am, I, I apologize. It was.
I will gently sway along. You know she's got 2 left feet
sometimes. Right.
All know about that. It would be a vibe killed, but I
think you just have to dance through.
NCPD is so unhelpful. Oh.
Shit. Get close to you, get all up on
you, start dancing, and then they pickpocket you and steal
you for everything. Oh, Jeb.
Oh God. Oh no, no, Jesus Christ.
Oh dear Lord, no.
