Last time on no latency. I don't know if you know this,
but I'm kind of a big deal. I wonder if the auction secret
or if the weapon that is being auctioned is secret.
Maybe it's both? All right.
Is this what you're wearing? This is my own brand.
A separate thing. I'm gonna be shopping for
clients. Now here's the thing.
Do we take them the right way or the wrong way?
How much do we like Mr. Carrick? You take offense.
It hurt me just to say it. Yeah, yeah, Limo SHM, limo all.
Right. I'm ordering the limos.
Memo, I'm gonna slip them business card.
What's the payment options on this Sloan?
One year and then it's 25% collector in an.
Event of a lockdown, there'd be no ins or outs.
Auction time the. Fuck.
The head came clean off. Roll on the ground for a little
bit there. That's a really wordy way to
describe what just happened. The fuck.
Holy shit. Crushed.
Holy I. Suppose this is when the
lockdown happens. And then the lockdown happens.
There's a big old siren. All the windows get covered with
metal. Well, this is very of the
annoying. I just got blood out of this
carpet. It's a good thing it's red.
Yes, by design. Does his memory.
Keeps on replaying over and over in my head.
I think I'm going to close that, James.
I immediately go over to the body, I assume, confirming that
he is in fact dead. By checking.
Doctor, it doesn't take a brain session to see that his head is
no longer attached to his body. I'm just think he is dead.
Double checking. Sometimes here in the dark,
future people have some sort of things that can keep them alive
even without a severed head. And I just.
You know, that's true. I'm pretty sure that we had to
deal with a with like some head like robot type thing, right?
We have. We've dealt with a lot of weird.
Stuff. So just checking Okay and I'm
going to look at the at the severed head and see if I can
determine how this might have happened.
Does it look like a blade? Like an invisible blade?
Some sort of kill switch? Like whatever I can discover, I
suppose. You think someone had their kill
switch engaged? Well, I mean, we should probably
wait for the prognosis, yeah. 19 The sever happened at his chip
ports in his neck. Oh, somebody is an explosive
residue and you rolled a 19, so you know that there were there
was one chip that both chip slots were full and now they are
empty. OK, do I see, looking around
where the carnage is? I don't happen to see any
remnants of any chip anywhere by chance.
Role perception. Oof.
No, you do not find it. All right, with that, I just go
back to the group. Well, he something happened with
his. Head.
Yeah. It's gone.
Yeah. No, no, it's over there.
Yeah, more like they lost their. It was right.
The sever is right at where his two chip slots are.
Looks like it was the explosion of sorts.
Something. Whatever chips he had implanted
might have exploded. They're gone now, whatever they
were. And that's what set his head
off. Guys.
Vandel huddles you all together. Is everything OK?
Vandel is ridiculously excited. Very excited.
Excited at the scene of a murder?
Yes. Vivy Dr. Vivian.
Yes. It's a murder mystery.
Oh, there seems to be a dark. It's not like a a murder mystery
party. It's an actual murder.
Oh, you see, yes. Who's.
Are you over there, Detective and Doctor?
I was going to say, who's the detective?
I'm just a Watson. Detective Vendel.
I'm just a Watson. I don't know.
Who's the Fem Fatale? Who's the?
Well, obviously I'm the fem fatale.
Who's the sidekick Who? We'll have to pick our roles?
I'm the Doctor. Yes.
Well, do I do the detective thing, or does someone else want
to do it? It feels weird.
If the GM does it. Wait.
What? What do you mean to take
everything? Asking questions.
Do you know what mystery shows, Jeb?
No. Are you inquisitive?
Do you have a keen eye? Then perhaps you can be I.
Don't think it's Jeb. He's really distracting.
Does that mean it's, I think Jeb thought you were saying, quinoa.
But does that mean that it's? It's you, Iona.
Oh, no. No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no,
no. I take the lead on many of
things, but I will say murder mysteries are not my Forte.
Putting glues together. I'm not really as big picture
kind of person. I've played.
I've played 221B Baker Street, the board game.
Yes, yes, it's it's hard. For me.
Well, I think the person who invented this has a really
childish mind, so it's probably pretty easy.
Well, I can't be the Doctor and the detective well.
Why do we name someone whose role is to be?
Because it's gotta. Be like the show, Jeb, I dressed
up. I straightened up.
My. I straightened up my blazer.
I put my hand on my side for. It it's going to be fun, right?
We're going to have fun, Jeb. We're having.
Fun. You actually look really nice.
I didn't think it were going to work.
Thank you. I'm pretty proud of it.
Yeah, no, it's pretty good. Sorry, you were saying, Iona.
I'm the detective oh. You're the detective, alright?
Do you have you met any of these people before?
Just one. Oh, the collector.
The collector you wouldn't have to fly.
So I as per the market policy. Nobody is out of.
Our our suspect list. Thank you very much.
Now you're already on the case, great.
If you fix it, I will give you deal.
Also, Iona, after we've solved this problem, you and I should
probably talk. And I agree.
You have full permission. The guards will only let people
out who you want to leave. No one will be able to leave the
building until the problem is dealt with.
Anyone else who was in the building, I will.
Push into the restaurant upstairs.
They would not bother you. You can look around if you like.
If you need to go into my my private area, please, please ask
one of the guards nicely. They have to secure the the cat.
Thank you. And he leaves the room well.
Should we start questioning? I suppose, yeah, we should.
Probably get some sort of, I was going to say Adam as list of
questions so we can keep everyone.
You know, asking ask the same questions to everybody.
Is that a good? Idea we could probably remember,
Let's rule out the collector first.
Are we sure? No, just.
You have to rule out somebody first I.
Mean. He's got a cane, so if we're
going to rule. A lot of people have cane.
So does obviously Gabriel Steele can't do anything?
So they. All had names on them.
Oh, Jessica Knight also has a cane, so you can't rule out
anybody with a cane. It's true.
I'm just saying everybody should be questioned, even those we
think may be innocent. And we're questioning the
collector. I'm going to go and find
something for us to organize, like a cork board or something
and I'll be back. You love Cork boards.
Well, there's a virtual one that they were selling.
There might be one over here. I'm going to go in this back
room. Someone should go with you or
someone go with Mendel so that Mendel isn't murdered.
Oh, Oh, yes. I'll go.
Thanks, Jeb. Yeah, no problem.
I'm with you. I think we're the best looking
crew out of two out of all of us.
So you. Know.
Yeah, No, we look fucking boss. I thought I was, you know, good
looking people stick together. And then Dale in this side room
of the auction house sets up a little investigation area with a
cork board and then a bunch of these digital picture frames
that look like polar roads that can stick on the wall.
With a red twine. Yeah, I've got red twine here.
But that's what we'll we'll. Connect things when we have
things. All right, Okay.
So do we want to Are we going to send people to interview people
differently, separately? I don't know.
I suppose they're probably talking about it in the other
room, right? I.
Would assume so. Yeah.
So I think we need to split people and interview them one by
one. We think that's a good idea,
like taking to a. Private room and do the
questioning and then. Should we do that together as a
group or? I think so, because we might be
able to, one of us might be able to pick up on things that the
other one didn't. We could always listen in on our
radio. Yeah, I do forget about those
things quite often, but they're pretty nice.
I'm open to. Whatever.
What room do we think? I mean, we could go to the room
that Vendel and Shep just went in.
That could be our little our little interview interrogation
room. Sure, absolutely Okay.
Could we not just go to security?
Security also probably has an interrogation room.
They also might have cameras and things that would be helpful for
us to review. So we should do that by this
time. Rominguez has taken some scrap
and has made a very long cigarette holder now and is now
using a cigarette holder to smoke out of very much going
into the femme fatale. What's that?
Roll for it. That's amazing.
Lean up against the the stage very sexily as they do very much
noir style. Roll for it.
I know. I'm looking for something to
roll for it. Meanwhile, as a as another
gander around the room, somebody rolled Perception acting 15.
Yes, Remy, you are pulling off quite the aura of
sophistication. And you look at Victor Solace
across the room and he smokes a cigarette and looks at you,
blowing it into the air and then rolling his eyes at the dead
body. And you can see on his body
language a disdain for having to be here.
And they're rich. Now remember, every murder needs
mean and motive and opportunity. Yes, you're right.
Thank you. So.
Perception 13 -, 6 which is 7. So you notice that there is a
person working at the bar at the back of the room, but you don't
really notice what they look like.
You'd have to go over and like talk to them to see what they
look like. I think I'm going to walk up to
go ahead. No, go ahead.
I'm going to go ahead and walk up to Victor.
More of like a Saschet, actually, really kind of working
those hips and sit down next to them.
Everything OK. Hey.
Yeah, I guess.
I mean, no. I got a lot on my shoe.
But yeah, I'll take one of the handkerchiefs I have in my
pocket from my suit and I'll wipe it off.
There you go. Oh.
Thanks. You seem very nonplussed about
this whole thing, though. I make things that kill people.
So wait a minute. You would.
He would. I'm active.
William Norman Jebidi on this point.
So what do you think it was that killed him?
Something that decapitates people.
Maybe a sniper bullet through the window or, I don't know.
I don't really watch mystery shows.
I wasn't saying mystery shows. I'm just going off of your
expertise since we being a merchant to death and all.
Oh, valid. If it was you, you'd use a
sniper rifle to shoot a bullet through to cut.
The hell if I was. If it was me, I would hire
someone. I don't get my hands dirty.
I make the gloves that get other people dirty.
Do you have a weapon that could do that?
Not on me. I designed one.
I designed the kill chip. Yeah, you designed the kill
chip. Yeah, yeah, the prototype.
What does that kill Chip do exactly?
I didn't. Even know you put it in a in a
skill slot, one of the next things interface slot it
explodes. That is exactly what happened to
our victim, I whisper quietly. Interesting.
But the old version would destroy itself.
The new version has like an explosive canister in it, and
you can retrieve it, reinstall and get rid of it.
It's, you know, it leaves no trace.
You can't have it doesn't take fingerprints, which is nice.
So it's kind of you can call and card it.
I guess you could write on it. But the the the one I brought
today to sell one of our first ones just has prototype written
on it. Where is it?
How convenient. Where is it?
It was right there on the podium.
Where'd it? Go.
I go over and I check the head. Sorry, you seem distracted.
Mr. Oh. Ortiz.
Rumingus Ortiz. All right, cool.
No, you're giving off a wonderful air of mystery.
Thank you. You're welcome.
Did you? Have any other questions?
Or did you want to try and roll Perception on my body?
Oh, I'd love to roll Perception on your body.
Let me take a look. 18 As he laughs about this joke that he
makes, you notice retro that on his collar, Right there on his
collar, a little bit of red lipstick and because you rolled
18, which is the second DV for observing this person.
And you notice that he is wearing a red badge, little pin
badge on the inside of his shirt and it shows as he reaches for
his lighter to relight his cigarette.
Well, thank you, Victor. JK 94. 74.
Right. I see.
I'll tell you what, Victor. Why don't I go ahead and talk to
the guards to see if they can find your missing prototype?
Thanks. Yeah, I did.
You see anybody move? I didn't.
I didn't see anybody go near the podium except Mr. Carrick.
Maybe he took it upstairs. Maybe that's Aragon.
You think? Yeah, I.
Mean he took the gun. So yeah, my prototype gun.
Yeah, that I really fucking wanted.
Well, it probably continue the auction afterwards.
I probably won't stick around. I have an appointment.
Appointment for what? It's none of your business.
Oh, come on, you can tell me one of the another.
No Persuasion 20. All right, dude, I have a date,
all right? He straightens up.
If you have any other questions, I guess you're the detective
people, so I'll just sit here away from body.
Who's the days where? Come on, spill the tea.
No, no, that's a legendary persuasion.
No, absolutely not. 20 is not enough for that information.
Let me ask you this then. Is it with a new paramour or
somebody that you've already been seeing?
Oh, I've known this person for a while.
I'm quite excited, but have you been?
Have you dated them before? This is a new thing or this is
an old thing? No, no, I don't date anybody.
No, that would be bad for business, Okay.
Do I see anybody in the room with red lipstick?
Role perception. 23.5 Yes .5 + 5.
Oh, sorry, 23 + 5. Yes.
You do? You look over at Rain Sinclair
and they have red lipstick. You rolled high enough that you
notice the other people who have lipstick, including Jessica
Knight. Which is not red, it's pink.
And the collector who's got gold lipstick on, I mean, that's a
trademark for the collector I like.
The sparkles. I whisper into our comms.
If you you know, it sounds like he has a date.
Got that nice little mark on him.
Red lipstick. Looks like rain.
Sinclair's. Got a matching color lipstick?
Just saying. Rain Sinclair is also our number
one assassin in the room. Huh.
Interesting. Well, an assassin dating the man
who makes the assassin weapons. The exact weapon that killed our
victim? Gabriel Steele.
Press exit out. No, Vivian.
Yes. Were the chips empty?
The chip slots. But there was marks of what
looked like an explosion on the slots.
And we're missing the kill chip. We are.
Well, hold on. We're missing the prototype,
right? Not the actual.
Yeah, whenever anybody looking for it, they're all the Crip
fail. So what you mean the prototype
or the actual kill chip or? Anything.
They're all the CRIP fails. They found nothing.
I mean, I haven't taken a look. Let me see if I see something.
So just to just to clarify, is the prevailing theory right now
that it was the the kill chip that he was about to bid for is
what killed him so? He can't find the chip.
The chip is missing, and it's very likely an explosive chip
killed him. But it was.
But the wasn't the unless I'm misremembered, wasn't the
explosive chip or something that he was about to bid for It
wasn't that like on the podium or whatever.
It was OK, but alright. This got it.
This is confusing. Yes, well, we will get to the
bottom of it. They're.
Always confusing at the. And then Dell rubs their hands
together. We will get to the bottom of it.
Yes. Did I find anything with a 12
perception? Yes, because it's under a chair,
you find the spent. Kill chip plus that can be
reused. OK, so find.
It's a little singed. Got it.
Now, just for my sake, can you remind me what a kill chip does?
When you put it inside someone slot, it explodes and kills
them. Well, you could put it.
You put it inside and then I think it's like a remote.
There's a remote you can use too.
There's not a remote. There's not.
No, the user sets a timer. If you plug it into a regular
unit, it just acts like a flash drive, so it was timed to go off
right before the bidding happened.
No, no, it was on the podium. So how did it get into his neck?
So it must not be the prototype, it must be a different version.
This is the. Why are we assuming that it was
a kill chip? Is this is is the means of death
coincide with the way that it was?
That someone would die via kill chip.
Exactly to the letter. Yeah, OK.
I'm safe to assume that's how he went out.
Look, sometimes with these things, it's not always what
they seem. So sure, maybe it was something
else, but from my forensic investigation it the cause of
death was an explosive chip placed in his chip slot that cut
his head off. Who's the last person to have
talked or interacted with him with someone?
So they'd have to physically put it into his body.
Jeff One minute. It was on that podium.
But why are we assuming that? That was over here.
But why are we assume it is? Oh, it's.
The one that Remy found is singed.
It has just been used and it is quite obvious that it has just
been used. It's hot.
See why I put it in my pocket? So?
And that's the prototype one, to be clear.
So we found the murder weapon and I look over at Vandel murder
weapon. Putting the motor weapon on the
cutboard here. Yeah, alright.
Wait, can I put it on? Can I?
Can I?
Take the big circle around it. Alright, circle AM order.
Sorry, what order? The MARDARWAP.
Mon. Well, if we needed to get close
to somebody's neck, a romantic encounter might be suitable.
And if Rain Sinclair is going around kissing people's necks.
But how did it? If that's the murder weapon, we
all saw it on the podium. How did it get over there?
But the one on the podium's missing?
That's true, yes. All right, everyone, line up.
Strip time. Hey, no Latency listeners, it's
Spoon. I play Jeb here on No Latency.
But I also produced 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.
A man is dead. I walk out of the room that you
know that. I walk out of the room.
All right, everyone line up. We're doing, we're doing where?
We're getting down to our Skivvies.
Guy in the red blazer stands up. The collector stands up and
pushes against their cane. Rain Sinclair stands up and
salutes you for some reason. Hell yeah.
Jessica Knight leans over the back of her chair and just looks
at you through the top of her shades and Victor Solace
continues to smoke a cigarette while sitting.
The bar person, however, looks very nervous.
Did you think I was joking? Listen, apparently we were put
in charge of this situation and a man is dead.
Look at his head over there. It's still bleeding.
This man deserves justice. Gross.
And I'm gonna, I'm gonna take all y'all's clothes to make sure
that he gets his justice. You don't have to get me naked
in order to see what I have. I'm wearing like hot pants.
I barely have pockets. OK, fine.
Well then each one of y'all and I point to all the suspects.
Pick someone who you feel comfortable with.
Patty down. You know.
Excuse me? No.
Who's there? Victor Victor.
I don't like the you could. Ask my pockets.
You can scan my body, but I'm not getting naked in an open
room with everybody. That's ridiculous.
Oh, I'm. Sorry, my pockets.
You can ask nicely. I don't know what the rest of
these people are. Going to do ask nicely.
Did this man ask nicely to be killed?
Probably not. I don't know for sure, but
probably not. I watched you kill Eddie, The
Trick and Cold Blood in the Middle of the street live on
Network 54. Are you fucking kidding me?
Yeah, so you know what I'm capable of.
I'm I'm confused. You're not.
You're the detective. You're not going to go around
killing people. No, but I might.
Be just senseless? I don't know.
If I feel that, do you want to see what's in my pockets or not?
Yeah, I do. All right.
We don't have to strip search everybody, but yes, it would be
good to maybe have everybody show what's on their persons.
For every person you want to look through their pockets, you
have to roll reveal, Conceal, object or human perception.
Up to you. Well, this is happening.
I'm gonna go up to the bar person.
Hey. Hi.
Why are you so nervous?
And I'm not. Nervous.
What would you like to drink? A ginger ale.
Ginger ale. You got it.
And they pour you a Coke. Anything else?
I tip it over. Oh God.
It goes all over the place and you notice that their visor has
like text on it and stuff. Raw perception.
Tracy, in looking over Victor Solace, you find nothing.
You're 9 -, 8. You notice the word rumor
backwards on her visor. Who are you speaking with
currently? No, no, no, no one, no one.
I was just watching the. No, you're not.
And as they turn their head, a camera in the corner of their
visor, but it's not on. Listen what?
Do you want to be a murder suspect or should I just clear
you? If you answer my questions?
It's easy as that. Robust version. 22.
Fine. I'm not a Bob.
I'm not a Bob person. I'm a Blogger.
And what's your name? Hunter Chen.
She's about 5-4, like pudgy cheeks.
The visor works like shades. Hunter, what are you doing here?
I. Was trying to get a scoop about
the auction because everything that's in the auction is a
secret. And then I could get it to
Network 50-4. Maybe I could get a fucking job
there. Well, if you work with us, I
know somebody at Network 50-4, maybe I can get you in.
No fucking way. No Fucking.
Like to be the host of Room at 54 and they were like, fuck you
assholes. Well, maybe you need something
real. Yeah, like a murder mystery.
I didn't fucking kill him, all right?
I was over here. I saw just bar people like clean
glasses and movies. I've been doing that for like 3
hours. You did great.
We barely noticed you. Awesome.
Empty your pockets. OK.
And they empty their pockets as a an agent letter that they've
got and that's it. What does the letter say?
Oh oh fuck, you're all so high. I didn't mean to take that out.
I have to zoom in here GS. Sorry, can I look back?
I scan it with my cyber eye and I send it to the tiles of
everyone in the group. Yeah.
I think I. Think.
We have a clue. This is the first one.
This is the first proper. Clue, but it feels like.
Maybe the gym wanted to make sure that all the clues feel
important. Yeah.
Or did they? It says you're not it, Hon.
We're going with GS, which could stand for Gabriel Steele.
You. Mean The same person is also
known as that Rumor king that knows everything.
That's almost prophetic. And they wanted to have their
own show called Rumor 54. What's happening?
You're just kind of staring at his base.
Oh sorry, module. Walkie-talkie, ask.
We're talking. Thank you.
Want to appreciate a lot of drinks and bad at it?
Yeah, you gave me a Coke. Is that what that is?
I walk away. I don't You want to maybe check
behind the bar or something, see if maybe if they did do it.
Maybe they don't have it on their person, but they have it.
They have the fake kills card, maybe hidden in the bar
somewhere. Sorry Jim, I was reading the
letter. What did you say?
Did you want to? Do you want to check the bar?
I walked away all. Right, Jeb, you go over to the
bar and you roll Perception 19. Yes, as that.
Hunter Chen is standing behind the bar.
What do you want? She raises her arms a little bit
and opens her jacket. There, under her jacket, you
notice a badge. Just for a fleeting second, that
says JK 74. But other than that, all you
find a bunch of incredibly clean glasses, because apparently all
she's been doing this entire evening is cleaning them.
Good alibi. I kind of do my like little
lapel, you know? I grabbed my lapel and bring it
up to my mouth and go. Looks like we got another one of
those junky 74 peons. Interesting.
Well. Actually, so too they say
they're cleaning glasses all night.
A good alibi. They might not be the the
murderer, but they might be complicit.
Just say. What color are their lips?
What color are their lips so? They're black.
OK, I just like people to know that I have actually slipped out
of the room. I hope off to do 2.
Things God looks at you, who's already been informed, and nods
at you as you leave the room. The first thing I'd like to do
is I'd like to go to the kitchen please.
OK, and in going to the kitchen I would like to get a Ziploc
bag, a glass of hot water, some tin foil, and pulling out of my
bag. Before we had BBI still keep it
on me, but before we had BBI used to super glue my cuts and
all that together. So I pour a little bit of super
glue inside of the tin foil and put all that inside the bag with
the chip and seal it up. And put it underneath that of a
heat lamp that's in the kitchen that I'm assuming that they used
to keep things warm I. Would like to point out that
earlier Victor Solis mentioned that the the kill chip plus
can't take fingerprints. Yeah.
The material doesn't take fingerprints.
One of the the whole point is it's meant to be a calling card
that people are like, oh, this is it, but it helps distract
your enemy as you get away because they're all looking at
the others. It doesn't actually.
Well, Remingus did not pay attention to that.
So for 15 minutes they try and get no print and go.
Damn it. Now I'm going to say that there
is something I could give you for this, so roll for it.
Although the kill chip is fingerprint resistant to a
fault, perhaps your skill in this moment can reveal something
24 Yes, the hand. That held this object for
however long it was held, and it was recent since you can
actually see the heat difference on it.
The hand was not large. Okay.
I will relay that to the rest of the group.
They have a tiny hand. Whoever used this last?
Small hands. Very tiny hands.
I'm outside so. I'm gonna go and check with the
security cameras if you all want to keep interviewing people.
Yeah, I think we need to find out how many people got these
JKE 74 PMS. And why?
Well, listen, Hunter has motive because they skipped out Hunter
Chen for the Rumor 54 and they went.
With Gabriel Steele instead. So there's motive right there.
In fact, I think they're the only ones that we do know a
motive for. We have an interview.
And they have small hands. We.
Haven't interviewed everyone there, so this is true.
We know nothing of Jessica Knight.
Say, which is the one that recognized Jeb from the race
Victor. Shit already interviewed them
then this other person or. Wait a minute.
What about Keith? What about Keith?
I'm just saying. Keith could.
Never. They ain't here.
Keith, going back to the memory, how big were Keith's hands?
Huge and fabulous. There you go.
We did get a good look at their ants because they were doing the
nail thing. Same with the nails.
Stepping the nails up. All right, fine, teeth's out.
I feel like we're playing a game of Guess who?
Do They have blonde hair? It's yeah.
Or a clue in the room? What the?
Well, again, the kill switch. Anybody in the room?
Let's maybe single out some of the people who have tiny hands
because it's the last person who used the kilt ship.
All right. We'll interview some people.
Actually, you know what? Check Gabriel.
Steel and see if they have tiny hands.
Gabriel Steel. BB You head over and you look
down at his hands and he does have like small to medium hands.
His hands are rather small, so but there may be others here
with small hands. And other motives?
Haha. Also, did we check?
The body to see if there's anything on Gabriel Steel.
I will take a quick glance and see what I find.
You find not a lot. You found about 400 eddies, a
little camcorder device. And again, you once again notice
that both chip slots were recently in use.
So if the kill chip didn't kill one, there's a chip missing.
Yeah, there's also another chip. OK, I pocket 400 of these.
Wait, wait, wait. Wouldn't he necessarily be so?
Wouldn't they? Wouldn't he have to have lost a
chip? Like have a chip missing because
the chip is on? We found it underneath the
chair. Say that again.
So we we would He is missing 2 chips.
Two chips. OK, Yes, yes, yes.
So there were two chip slots and both of them are empty.
It looks like they were previously filled.
So I don't know what the other one was, but one must have been
a kill switch, right? OK, but who engaged it?
The collector comes over. So I wasn't, but I did find
something. Go ahead, you.
Find be part of the sleuth. Was that not allowed?
Am I a suspect? Technically, everybody's a
suspect, but that's that's okay. What did you find?
Well, I I I got up to go to the bathroom and the guard said I
couldn't leave. And on my way back just I went
to go and you know, spit into the trash can as, you know,
spittoons, old man, that kind of thing.
And I noticed I noticed this. Little chip that might be the
other chip. Okay.
I think the room's covered in cameras, so if you were to look
at the footage you see I found it in there.
I walk quite slow, so yes. Have we not checked the cameras
yet? That seems like we should have
done that first. Well, I I don't know how how you
whippersnappers do it, you know? That's what Ramingus is doing
currently. Right.
Well, if you need anything to me, I do know a little about
everyone of. Course, yeah.
And. Fix it.
Thank you. Thank you.
Hopefully that helped. Again, what didn't, didn't it
wasn't me. And he walks away and sits down.
OK, maybe we should take a look at this chip.
Remingus, are you able to look at this private chip by chance?
See what's on it. I am in the security office, so
I was going to look at the cameras.
If you want to bring it to me, yes, that would.
That would be useful. A video you're going to go to
security with with Retro and look at the footage and stuff.
Yes, I suppose I will. OK.
See you in a bit. The rest of you got everyone
keep interrogating. Yeah, you did it.
I'm kidding. Sorry, Collector.
No, fine. It's just novel, isn't it?
It's. Like the show?
Do you watch as well? Because I watch either go out
more. I know, so boring, isn't it?
I get murdered all the time. No, the guy who.
Is meant to take. Out.
My shift is outside along with Mr. Kerrigan's assistant, so
he's going to be pissing me off. Fucking hours.
What you want are. You the detective people?
Yes. OK.
Hello. What do you want?
What room? What time?
Give me, give me the auction room for the last three hours.
All right. OK.
OK, Gabriel. Steel death footage.
I've got it on. Got it on a loop.
Hold. It up.
Can you freeze it just before? The.
The flash of green that happens. There's a flash.
Of green. Oh, I guess there.
Is a flash of green. Wow.
Good eye, Rominguez. Yeah, sure I can.
I can make. It all let's.
See. Oh God.
Hold. On Thank you.
There you go. What is this green flash?
What does? I don't.
I don't understand. Maybe somebody did do something
with the chip right before it happened.
Well, a private chip is green. That's all I'm saying.
Yeah. OK, We should still take a look
at the chip and we should take a look at the rest of the footage
and see who has was talking to Mr. Steele throughout the
evening and what else they were up to throughout the night.
DM. Yes.
Can I roll education? Yes.
Because I want to see if. This blood splatter that we see
at this point is from an explosion or for something else.
Done. You're all 21 on education, and
there's a few things that you see.
You see the kill chip on the footage fly out of his neck very
clearly and go under the chair. You see the ghostly image of an
arm near his neck, and the flash of green reminds you that if you
pay attention at just the right moment, that's what happens.
When someone uses. A sand of Vizian.
That a word we heard before. Yes, it is a word.
That is a word I know a sand of Vizian that say, Oh my God, Oh
my God, I know what this is. Local expert.
I know what this is. I know what it.
Is I. Know what it is too.
Just gonna be one of those things where only one person is
the murderer but everyone wanted him dead.
Absolutely Sandovisian, that that's it.
Like a type of like neural where that makes people when when they
get it implanted, it makes them they just become like super
speed. That could be what that that
green light was. They must have activated their
Sandovisan and maybe did something in a flash maybe, I
don't know. It was so fast we didn't see it.
Yeah, Which is wild. That's how dangerous these
things can be. What does it look like?
It is a huge spinal implant that requires a very, very intensive
operation that once it's done you're you're out for weeks
recovering. I mean this is a whole full body
change that you're gonna undergoing and.
If I might ask then is it concealable?
Do they put something over it or can you not hide this?
If you have a lot of money, you could probably conceal it, but I
think of some of the ones I've seen, yeah, you could see it on
their spine and their back. It's sometimes visible,
sometimes not. All right, everyone, you heard
the lady. Get down to your Kitty
next time on no latency. 6 suspects.
Victor Solace or a gavel Rain, Sinclair.
Just good night and the collector A.
Few clues the private ship. Whoo.
I think I just got scalded with that hot tea.
Ow. It's a guilty pleasure of mine.
Gabriel didn't mention two people.
I wanna know who gave you the pan.
And you trust Victor, hmm. All the people with those pins.
Mysterious Spine Thing San Devastin clears.
A whistle. Oh wow.
Yeah, she's really got moves. So that sounds like motive
enough for me. Motive is motive is motive.
Doc, I have an idea. What?
Why would you want to tell me that?
I'm trying to figure out if you're even seen or not.
Follow me. I am afraid that if we confront
them, they might get hostile. Yeah, I said we would just blame
them. I think we just go tell
Kerrigan. They're the one who did it.
There are a lot of people in this room who would pay a lot of
money for that kind of information.
Do you really need me to spell it out?
