Last time a no latency side quest.
Is that what happened? Iron dissipated from his body
and he exploded. Your team now too.
Yes. That would be quite the mess.
When you're still alive. I think so.
So break open the door. OK, hope it's not bombed.
Smells like blood. Oh, there's dead people inside,
Miss VV. I'll help.
She's go with the needle. He's gonna explode.
Two, you might want to get behind me.
Hey everyone I think I got some information way to go.
VV. Stolen UPA and S truck.
So we have another destination. Is it close?
14th and Diamond. Oh good, now that.
That's water. That is water.
These poor souls. I'm homeless.
Do we recognize this maelstrom at all?
Do. I recognize this maelstrom at
all. You do.
Frequent a lot of maelstrom society.
Is that true? Yeah, it's true.
I know a lot of them. Are you Maelstrom?
Oh, that's a crit. Oh wow, you actually have?
That's amazing. You're like, Oh yeah, I know
this guy. You.
Know this guy? Oh that?
No, that's E tank. I know that guy.
He tips really well for a maelstrom.
Oh. That says something.
And he's got he's, he's, he's got a thing for like plushies.
For plushies. He likes to look, he likes to
hang him like off his like board gear.
It's like a, it's like a distraction thing.
And you look closer and he's got a bunch of like, little
tchotchkes hanging off different pieces of them.
Well. I mean, I can talk to him.
What if you offered him a plushie?
I have one. I do.
Phoebe Con. No, the Taser boy.
I pull out the Taser boy plushie.
Really. This is for the.
This is to help people I got to. That's the most Phoebe thing
you've said all night. I got to, I got to do it.
People are exploding. Well, hey there, before you
OfferUp, you know your your your precious plushie.
All right, let me just talk to him.
All right? My fucking package, you dumb
motherfucker. E Tank, What's going on?
Hey, boy, this is Sarah. Oh, hey, hey, hey.
What's going on? It is wild seeing you in this
part of town. These motherfuckers lost my
fucking package. You got a problem with UPNS,
too? You have a problem with UPN?
I I they said they delivered the package and it is not here.
Well, well, not here at my place.
You've been in my place. No, I I understand.
I understand the shipping container.
Yeah, yeah, yeah. We're we're looking for a truck.
We also, you know, we're trying to find something.
You can wait your turn. Saw I am this close.
I was so close. I'm.
Going to roll it back. That's 10.
I was so close to getting my hands on one of those limited
edition Taser boy plushies the soft soft exterior and I well
that's why I didn't get rid of my fingies No, trust me everyone
knows E tanks plushies. You don't fuck with them don't
fuck with my plushies don't fuck with them and you can't just
redeliver it. They make a very small amount
and one of. These motherfuckers stole it.
One of your drivers steal my fucking plushie.
Now, there's no need to accuse our employees here.
I'm apparently the receptionist from Ghostbusters.
All right, E tank. It's it's your lucky day, my
friend. Look happenstance.
What if I could get you that plushie?
No shit. I mean, it's going to be a
trade. What do you want?
You know, we look, we're we're looking for something.
I know you guys are all around. My, my good friend Miss Vivi
over there. She actually has one.
No fucking way. Fucking way.
Yeah. Damn.
She's an avid collector just like you.
Shit and look, we give you your plushie.
Look. Look, did you PNS motherfuckers
look? They might have lost it, but for
all you know they could deliver it a week from now.
And now you got 2. That would be cool.
I could make them talk to each other.
Yeah. Yeah.
You can put. You can put them on the ball
like you do. You put them on the ball and you
can have, like, little battles with them.
Hell yeah. Yeah.
But Miss Levy, pussy, I choose
you, right. Exactly.
Yeah. OK.
Yeah, I could do that. Yeah. 19 Yeah, now he believes
you. He steps away from the desk and
walks up to you. Right now, Miss Vivi's been nice
enough to give you hers. Now, what do you say to Miss
Vivi? What are we?
What are we learning? All right, we talked about this.
I'm fine. Fine, fine.
I'll thank the nurse. Thank you, nurse.
That's about as nice as you're going to get out of him.
Just take the compliment. You see Vivi's eyes twitch at
him calling her a nurse and. I'm going to.
I'm going to put my hand on Phoebe's arm.
Phoebe, you feel supported. Thank you.
OK, we are making the exchange. He's not right.
This is this is a deal we're making here, right?
Great question. What are we getting out of this
deal? The information we need Mr.
Maelstrom person. I, I think we just get to be now
that they're not in line, we get to be in line.
That's that's what we're getting for this Mr. E Tank, you're not
the I'm. Going to be real with you, I
would not have left at all just without my shit.
Give him the plushie. I.
I can stand in front of this place all day.
I'll interrupt you. Apparently I have the thing I
want. All right, all right, all right.
And Vivi pulls out the Taser Boy plushie.
Oh. My God, he's so cute.
Oh my God. Oh shit, fuck novorous shit.
Look how cute he is. Oh shit.
Hey medical person. Thank you.
This is. Cool.
You're cool. Thanks, I guess.
His 53 eddies. Whoa, thanks.
It's. Worth way more than that.
Yes. Specifically, you paid 69 eddies
for this thing E. Nice.
Yeah, which you bought on our 69th episode.
Side note. Nice.
Wow. Yeah.
OK. You've you've very handling
resolved this issue of the front side of this place being your
answer and the Scabbers with this plushy in hand walk away.
Etank looks at Saw. See you later.
Saw. I see.
I'll see you next week. We got a new song we're playing.
Oh, sick. I'm going to go and do a plushy
live stream. Looking forward to it.
Send me the BDI Will see you later tunes.
Thanks weird people. See you later, nurse.
Any loops? The deepest of size, do you?
Want me to shoot him? I can shoot him in the back.
No, no, no, no shooting guys, Come on.
Yeah, I don't call VV a nurse. I'm sorry he called you a nurse,
Miss VV. OK.
Twice. Twice.
He was the on the right track, he said, medical person.
And then he fell again. It's fine, they're gone.
And, and look, the if there's one thing I know is they would
have stood there all night or they would have got in a fight.
And look, I, I know you sold me up real good.
The flesh feels nice. It's it's, it's a little, a
little sore, but. It will be.
Yeah, yeah. For quite a few weeks.
That's fine. It's not my, it's not my guitar
playing on, it's the other one. But we're safe.
That's all that matters because I want to watch over you guys.
That's nice. It's normally my job.
All right, who wants to do the talking?
Well, Iona has to do it. They're the executive.
I do all right. I walk up to this window.
Hi, are you, are you Jenny? Yes, I am Jenny.
You might have gotten, you might have gotten a communication
about me coming through. I'm Jennifer Moscow.
Oh. Yeah, I'm Miss Moscow.
I got a note about that man. Thank you for getting rid of
that guy. Oh.
Absolutely. I don't know what the fuck he
was talking about. There's no record of delivery
anyway. OK, so the truck tracker?
You wanted the tracker. Approved is that.
Right. Yes, please.
Did you need the number again or 0467?
467UP A. SUPAS Yes.
Yes, OK, OK. And tracker processing fee is
320 eddies. Yep, Yep, that'll be fine.
They take 320 eddies from you. OK, and here you go and.
They hand you a little tile and now that you're away from the
red mist of the neon freeze location, it has a connection
and it shows you a little pip on a screen and you can scroll at
the bottom to see where it's been, etcetera.
So it's the tracking history of the vehicle.
Beautiful. And does it have its current
location? Sorry.
USB I'm so sorry, I shouldn't talk over executives.
That's you're totally all right. Have we recovered this vehicle?
No. So it's still at and sewer
entrance somewhere. The last sewer entrance it was
near was J 47. All right.
Thank you so much for this information.
We will be on our way. Thanks your help.
What's that? J 42.
Are shitty. You seem nice.
Sometimes. What's that?
J47. GMJ. 47.
Great. Just want to make sure.
All right, I, I just hand, I hand my tile over to VV.
There you are. Make make of it what you will.
All right, let's see what's on this and where this vehicle is.
Vivi, you look at the tile and you're having a look at the
data. And as Iona observed as well,
the last place it was tracked was a sewer outlet labeled J47.
And once it went in there, because it went underground, the
tracking was lost. So say how long ago that was.
Not very long ago, maybe about an hour.
OK, well, I guess we should probably at least go to this J47
location. It's been an hour.
Maybe they'll still be there. Maybe they stopped there.
Maybe they're in the sewers. Let's let's see if we can get to
it. Hey, hey, hey, Miss Vivi.
Is is is she going to be OK in the sewers?
Is who going to be OK in the sewers?
Oh, oh, Iona. Yeah, Miss Iona.
Probably not. Hopefully they're going.
I'm sorry, we're going in the sewer.
I'm sorry, I didn't mean to talk like behind your back.
It's just I know how you are. No, no, no, I didn't.
I didn't assume that we were going into the sewer.
I thought that the maybe the vehicle would be parked outside
and that we could do we need to go to the sewer or can we just
look at where it had been before now?
Only if we notice signs of entrance into the sewer.
Then we may have to go into the sewers.
Yes, this is all hypothetical. All right, sure.
Look, if if push comes to shove, I'll I'll give you my trench
coat so you don't get your your little pants suit dirty.
OK, we'll, we'll, we'll burn that bridge when we get to it
are. You going to burn my jacket?
No, I, I I will not. Hopefully, unless it needs to be
sanitized in a a bath of fire. This is a very expensive trench
coat. OK, it was a gift.
Oh I, oh I, I don't plan on burning it if, if that makes you
feel any better. It does.
It does, yeah. But perfect.
All right, this it looks like J47 isn't far from here if we
just want to follow the map. Yes, let's head over.
Wait, aren't you guys rich? Can't you like afford like a
cab? You really want me to call it
Delamine every time we need to go somewhere?
No. But then, let's walk.
Well, we've been walking all night.
And we're going to walk some more because Boss says so.
Make a good point. It's like a 7 minute.
Walk. From here and we have a deal for
the cat food. So you say jump, I say how high.

Maggie RPG. Here's J47.
Wow, that's really big. You could drive a vehicle in
there and those tire tracks go in, don't they?
Fuck. Oh that, that is unfortunate.
Iona. Looks like they did go in the
sewer. All right, what I will do is I'm
going to press the little, I'm going to put the the bracelet on
my ankle. Interesting.
Yeah. And I'm going to click the
little button so the latex shoots out over my shoe, right
and covers my shoes and do that on both sides so I have two shoe
covers. Sounds good.
And then I'll also do it to my hands just in case I have to
touch anything. Good, you are now wearing latex
shoes and latex gloves. Do not run that is slippy this.
Is very slippy. If you choose to run, there is a
chance you will fall over now. Like a higher one and fall into
poop? Yes, yes.
I I don't mean to assume anything, but maybe Scabbard
knows the best ways around the sewer.
I I I was thinking the same thing.
I didn't want to assume. As a matter of fact, I do.
I you know. You know, sometimes assumptions
are are accurate. Don't use the engineer's
tunnels, all right. Use the proper maintenance
tunnels because then you have a walkway.
Oh, that's a good point. I wonder if this one has a
walkway or if we're going to have to walk through sewage.
Guess we'll find out. You step into this inlet and you
come into sort of an opening space, and as you step inside
you can smell iron in the air. You can hear machines pistoning
water move through the walls and the slow, unnerving rumble of a
city above you. Here comes that iron smell
again. But that's a good sign.
This might be the source of whatever they're producing all.
Right. Lead the way.
Are you sure you don't want my jacket, Miss Ayanna?
You look very uncomfortable. Can I can I spray you with
sanitizer first? If if it would please you.
Yeah. All right. 8.
Yes, you managed to spray this tune with a decent amount of
hand sanitizer. It is of the highest quality
that you have ever experienced or you probably have not felt
this clean in years. I'm I'm rubbing it all over the
trench coat, bringing a nice gloss.
This is this is nice Is it is that lavender?
It is lavender, OH. That I've never smelled that
before, but I've heard it smells nice.
That's exactly what lavender smells like.
You're very intuitive. Wow.
OK. And he'll take off his trench
coat and and he'll give it to you.
And it is and, and as as you put it on, it is very heavy and, and
you'll probably realize that the trench coat is light armor,
Jack. Oh no.
It's. So heavy.
Oh geez. So you've got 2 layers.
Of of light armor. Jack.
Iona Iona has extra armor, but. That's true.
I also have. Have you ever?
Have you ever read Dune? Yes.
The the the the Shields, the yeah, Oh my.
God, we have those. Two, it's just like dude.
Love that. So you step into this sewer
tunnel and as you step into this next area VB, the iron smell
gets stronger and you can hear chanting.
Anybody hear that chanting? That's concerning.
Who's got the best sense of smell here?
I, I don't know, actually, you know what?
It's all just smelled lavender for the first time maybe.
We can follow which of these has the strongest iron scent.
Maybe see what What do you 2 think?
Can you smell? I still smell of alcohol.
BB as you walk further away from the rest of the group while
they're sniffing the air, you come across.
Yes, this looks like the van. I would check the license plate.
Yeah, I'll take a peek inside. Scabbard, Scabbard.
Take it. There are footprints to a door
to the east. Scabbard will spend the time to
remove the license plate. Roll for it.
Oh well, yeah, what am I rolling for this?
Whatever you want, I want to see if you do it correctly.
Shit. How's your how's your operate
land? Vehicles.
That's about average, I should say.
Maybe you know what I'm going to try Basic tech.
Maybe I was going to say basic tech.
Basic tech. Yeah, basic tech would be good.
It's basically basic tech. This.
Oh fuck, this is going to be off of it.
It's not a. Difficult DV?
No, that's fine. Yeah, you remove it.
Unfortunately by only rolling an 8 you don't remove very well and
you strip a screw and you like rip off a corner of the license
plate so it only improves your armour by 1.
That's fine. That's cool.
It does look cool. It's more cosmetic than anything
else. I will follow the the where the
footprints lead from this vehicle.
Do you need backup, Phoebe? Yeah, the chanting sounds pretty
strong behind this door, and I don't know what they're chanting
or what they're chanting for. What?
What about all these other doors?
You want to check these ones before we burst through that
one. No.
We do we really need to breach and clear or.
I don't know. You guys are the professionals.
Are there are there bad guys that will follow us?
I mean, I look, you guys have been so nice to me tonight.
I'm with you all the way. We're friends, right?
Friends. Yes, friends.
And there we go. That's all that matters.
All right, should we sneak in or should we preach and clear?
I will open the door quietly. All right, it's locked in a very
mediocre way. To be clear, unlocking this door
is not difficult, but it is locked.
You can roll lock picking. You could break the lock off
with brawling. If you roll lock picking, it
won't affect stealth pick lock 16.
Yes is a simple lock BB. It's very good.
You rolled excellently there. Well done.
That's so good. Damn.
That's really good. That's because it's a mid lock,
right? Mid is 15.
You beat the DV. You, you Bendel and Iona watch
you as you pull a Bobby pin out of your hair and you just unlock
this lock and they both look at you amazed.
Wait. Maybe, maybe just like nods
impressed at her work. Wait, Yeah, I haven't.
Come on. This lock wasn't easy, but this
is like a lock that you put on a diary.
OK. Like this is this was nothing.
I would like to quietly open the door.
All right, Rostov. Everybody, everybody, just let
them chant. 17 As you crack the door open, you can hear them
chanting. As it gets louder.
I'm opening the door but you're cracking it.
So you always see open the door and you see a bunch of tunes.
The one thing you notice about all of them is none of them have
cyberwear, not one bit. And they're chanting blood only
in death. Blood only in death, maybe.
He's going to. Quietly close the door after
that and look back at everybody who's like behind her.
We're all kind of like Scooby-doo, like at the door
with. Black. *.
We will rent the plague of Nice city with Black Star will infect
those who are tinted and only blood will be in death.
The pure are the only ones who will get into the afterlife my
friends, and Black Star is the answer.
With the city infected, those tainted will die, and all that
will rise are those of flesh and only flesh.
The Unchained will rule this city, the West Coast, and
eventually the entirety of the wild.
Everybody heard that and I just maybe just looks wide eyed at
the rest of the group. Wow, they just told us
everything they were doing. They did just tell us
everything. Do you think they have any of
that Black Star in the van still?
Maybe we can see it. I bet you it's a magnet bomb.
I I think Miss Vivi checked it and it was empty it.
Wasn't it was empty. Oh.
Shoot. Got a license plate though.
Look, there's, there's other doors guys.
I know I'm not the smartest tool in the shed, but like.
Right. If anybody would like to roll
perception for what they saw through that room.
Please do. Yeah, I will.
Yes. I sure will.
Oh yes, Vivi and you look through the the door both both
saw and scabbard were were too amazed by the fact that there
were sofas in there. You're like obsessed that there
were two sofas in there in the sewer we had.
To get a couch. I, I, I, I was just, I was
looking at the, the license plates on Scabbard's armour like
I was just adoring them. What a good idea.
Thank you. Thank you.
Did you see what I saw, Vivi? I saw a vent.
And that's what I saw. Oh Pinter attack crab move.
Yes, we're very familiar with going through vents and.
I can go through event. I'll do it.
We just have to find the other end with.
The vents. I don't think so.
I would fit through the vent. They were on either corner.
I don't. I don't like tight spaces.
You don't think you're? Probably going to fight from
here I think. I like that idea.
What are? We doing anyway, what's the
plan? That's a good question.
What is the plan? They don't know we're here.
GM. Yes.
Does the door like open towards us or does it open inward?
Yes, to which both. Both whatever you want.
Wings both ways. Pride Month, Pride Month.
Pride Month. Where's the Vantage?
Yes. OK, it's a big metal sewer door.
You can use it to it's water sealable if you pull the the
proper lever. It wasn't fairly locked, it was
chain locked by these people. OK, well if you think we can use
the vents, maybe we just smoke them out into a little and.
Then kill them when they come. Out exactly.
Make a little bit of a kill box, right?
Do they have any grenades? I got a shotgun.
Nice boy. I got a question if if the door
was padlocked from this side, how are they going to get out of
that room? No, it was.
Didn't think of that. Oh no, Jim didn't think of that.
Oh, OK. OK, there's a little, there's a
little hole in the wall where you can get to.
That's. Why we wasn't?
Understandable. Understand.
They can't hear us. Understood.
No, Somebody they. Were pointing at that pothole I
really appreciate. It they they, they were going to
live and die there. That's the Chris special, by the
way, With when. That shit, all the.
Time and was always just like. I don't mean to be that guy, but
my version. There is definitely just a
little like door in the in the in the thing that you can use to
lock at. Yeah, smoking them out is a good
idea. I like this, but I don't have
any smoke grenades or anything like that.
I mean, we can take a quick look around here and see if there's
anything. Wait, I have an idea.
There is a car behind us. There is a car behind us.
There's a car. Behind us.
To you vent the exhaust in the event.
Whoa. Wow.
Carbon monoxide, they all pass out.
That's so fucked. Hey, they won't die.
Well, I guess it doesn't matter. They're.
They'll fucking die. They're killing people VV It
sounded like they were trying to kill anyone with cyberwear,
which, let's be honest, it includes me.
And me. And me.
And me so we're. Their mortal enemy.
I'm too poor for that shit. OK, let's, let's see if we could
find where the other side of the vent is and drive this car.
All right. All right, So if we want to
split up and take these doors. So there are three doors in
here. There's One South and two N
Who's taking what? I'll go South.
I'll come with you, song. I'll.
Go north all. Right.
I'll also go north. And I'll try and work out how to
get the car started. There you go.
Here we go, I'm going to work on that.
Hey, hey, Vendel. Bless you.
I'm proud of you. Thank you.
And Saw and Iona head to the South door.
VV and Scabbard head to one of the north doors, the one on the
right. Is it locked?
Oh man, here we. Go again.
Would you like to do the honours or, oh, we're we should, we
should probably split up more than this.
I could still hear your guys's conversation.
Ms. Vivi, can you come and get this slap for us?
Yeah, I'm a pro at this. Rolling a 17 you you unlock the
lock to the north. He's going to quickly run down
and. Yeah, you run through, you're
really ecstatic about doing all of these unlocks, and you try
again. You're all a.
Crit. Fucking success.
Now as you as as you ping open this door, the door swings open
to the South and as you're looking in this room, the light
that glints off the side with your crit success, you see a
vent hatch in the South room. She's really nimble with those
fingers. Apparently.
Honestly I'm going to be real. Never seen Iona or VV unlock a
lock and that this is new. Well, VV does have those
surgeon's fingers. New experiences and new friends,
am I right? Exactly.
All right, so it looks like you found the vent.
A vent, yes. VV already ran back to the other
door. Yes.
I thought I saw a vent in there. Oops.
Sorry. All right.
Yeah. We saw an event in there.
All right, so you guys check down there.
I'm going to keep working on the car.
I have to roll for that. I'll wait.
No, it's fine all. Right.
I'm going to go first. All right, You stay behind me
and saw. We'll walk through the door.
I mean, it looks like this pumps too.
I don't. I don't.
It might be like gas pumps.
I think it's liquids because of all of the sewage.
Oh, that makes sense. Yeah, that makes sense.
But no, you reminded me we're in the sewers.
It's OK. Hey, we're fine.
We're going to get out of here. Well, so this fence can can we?
I mean, I can't fit in it, so Vendel, you might want to
squeeze in there, but you're working on the car, so I don't
want to put too much stuff on your plate.
Well, I mean, I, I, I'm almost done here.
I just need to roll. I'm going to roll pick lock.
Nice. To hot wire the car.
That makes perfect sense 11 it is a shitty truck and it is a
simple thing to hot wire one of these trucks which is according
to the rules ADV 9. So with the the 11 that Vendel
ran they managed to get the vehicle stuff.
Got it working. Perfect.
Do we just back it in here? What should we wait for?
Scabbard and Vivi. I don't know.
I wonder what they've found and. On the other side of the hall,
VV and Scabbard walk into this northern corridor.
Yeah, doesn't look like there's much in here.
This was probably a secondary fallout room in case of a leak.
Interesting. It happens sometimes.
Well, you know a lot more about this than I do.
So guys, I think this one's a dead.
Oh, sorry, I think this one's a dead end.
We found the vent. OK.
I think there's only one SO. What 9 door #3 what could be
like? I only have you.
That door is looks like it leads to the same room.
There's like 2 doors entrance to this big big empty room got.
It got it OK, but like we can't just back the car like it's not
going to fit through the door. Yes, it is.
Oh. The car will fit through the
door. MMM alright.
Who's a good driver though? That's. 15 feet wide.
That's a big door. That's a really big door.
I mean, I could back it in. It's really not gonna be a
difficult thing to back a vehicle in and leave it pumping
into it. Does do we want?
Are we sending anyone in the vent to check or?
I don't feel comfortable sending you into a vent that we're going
to gas out with carbon monoxide. Yeah, also it might have that
like Black Star thing in it and then I'd.
Explode. That is absolutely true.
I didn't even consider that. Nope, you stay right here.
OK. Scabbard say he doesn't have any
cyberware. That's true.
I could do it safely. Could you squeeze down that
vent? Is it big enough for Scabbard?
Yes, it is. Oh, hell yeah.
Oh, it's a walkable vent. I'm good.
Yeah, I'm gonna. It's.
Crawlable. Crawlable.
Yeah, on my way in. Shimmy, shimmy, shimmy.
You shimmy down the vent and you come across an opening to your
left. Further down the vent you can
see another opening to your left.
So I it's opening to my left here, I can open that.
So that's the one. You chanting all stuff I'm.
Not opening it. Can I hear through it though?
Yes, you can hear the chanting and you also hear a hum of a
machine. Is that what's further down?
That is what is connected to this vent it seems.
If I go further down this way, so this this one also goes to
the same place. Am I?
I'm going to need to open at least one of these if we're
going to vent in, right? Fuck, get a real stove.
Oh boy. OK.
Do you do you have luck? Don't forget you have luck.
I do have luck. Oh good idea.
I am going to definitely spend some luck for this one.
How much you have to say before? Hey, what?
You have to say how much you use it.
You have to claim how much luck you're going to use my.
God, all of it. Yeah, you know.
Fuck it, I'm going to dump it all.
All right. You know what?
I'm just going to dump. Are you luck into this?
Damn, fuck it. What luck?
Yeah, that's enough. That's enough.
You open up the vent and you're behind everyone and you can see
the leader tapping away his computer, not seeing you, goes
over to the machine, pulls out a few vials of stuff, looks at
this black liquid in the tube and puts it back in the machine.
All right, got to make my way back down to the others because
I've got the vent opener making my way down to.
Walking fast. Faces fast.
And you arrive back in the main area.
Yeah, no, there's two openings to the vent down there and they
both go in. So just stop venting it.
Either they try to evacuate out the first one and die, or they
try to evacuate out the main door and die.
Should we seal the door that they exit?
That's a good idea. I can also cover it with a
shotgun. That works too.
Little kill box. Yeah.
Also works. Let's do that, all right.
I'll go by the door. So just re lock it so it gives
them more time to try to break out and more time for them to
pass out from the carbon monoxide all.
Right. So just put put put the padlock
back on the door. And then just shut it and so
it's nice and snug and tight. Quietly.
Quietly, it's not really in my strong suit.
I can try it though. Who got in the car?
I'll go in. Cool, Phoebe, you get in the
vehicle and you start to reverse it all.
Right, I'll lock. I'll lock the door.
Cool. 14 VV Great. Yes, that's fantastic.
Athletics 13 yes, you lock the door and now it is locked.
It's going to take time to unlock it.
VV, meanwhile, backs the van into this little area and leaves
the engine running. Do you do you turn up the
engine? Do you make it expel more?
Yep. Vroom.
Iona you move away from the oh.
I'm, I'm leaving this room, you know, these boys, these, these
cultists, they're in for quite the ride.
They are. And you leave the vehicle in the
room? Do you pull the seal on the
door? Yes.
Vendel looks at you as you grab the handle.
Be careful, if we're going to seal doors, we probably should
try and do them at the same time because it'll kind of tell them
something. Yes, maybe we wait a bit, chill
until we hear. Maybe they'll stop chanting and
they're alert of something going wrong.
I just rolled the two. They don't notice the exhaust
pouring into this room, and slowly it starts to gain.
You hear an occasional cough as they continue to chant.
Weird smells down here aren't weird.
Yeah. Do you do anything else or do
you just wait for them to die? This.
Is kind of kind of dark, just waiting for people to die.
Isn't that what we're doing every day though?
That's. One way to look at it, yeah.
I rolled another two, they still don't notice you've got two more
rolls and if I roll badly they essentially.
Just die. Just.
Die. Just die.
I guess we're just going to wait.
You're just going to sit in this?
You're just going to sit in this sewer solely poisoning these
people with the exhaust from a Tune 3 vehicle?
Not the most morally questionable thing that I've
done in a game. Says Scabbard.
Every one of those roles was under 5.
Oh, brilliant. You hear coughing and
spluttering. You hear people start to stop
chanting you. You hear the unmistakable sound
of people falling over. The chants stop and you start to
hear a banging on the door. More banging on the door as you
hear people beg for help, but a louder voice comes out and you
see a hand come through the door and grab the padlock and jiggle
it around. Another hand comes out with a
key and is now trying to open the door.
Cash register noise. I draw the sword.
Oh, and I would like to cut the hands off.
Oh. Come.
On roll roll, roll for it. You.
Can't evade this. They really can't.
You can't. It looks to be them.
Oh no, that's the. Biggest crit?
Your sword snaps in half. Cortana.
It's like the the the banker rolls of quarters and the splits
and the quarters. Coins fall everywhere and the
hand, the hand kind of panics and stops.
Do you do anything else before? I close the door.
You close the door on the hand? Or do you let the hand leave?
You know what? I'm going to slam the door on
the hand. Nice.
All right, roll for it, Brawling.
Jaw you. Get 2 Malay attacks that I will
give you. But your sword is broken now you
cannot use. It damn that sucks.
That's what happens with it. You that's a Max grip fail
that's. A good thing you got a gun.
You broke my sword. 18 Yeah, you trapped this guy's hand in the
door. No, no, no.
No, my vision is not sitting. No, no.
Somebody do something? You're a sicko.
The things you're doing to people is horrible, and you and
all the people that you've recruited for this horrible cult
deserve to die. Yeah, what?
She said. So what do you do?
Yell at him. Oh, you just wait for him to
die, all right? Shit.
Blood only and death. How does that sound to you?
Only in suffocation from carbon monoxide.
Oh, sewer suffocation. That's another good song name.
Write that down. Write that down.
That is too slow. Hello Tricky.
I pull out the gun. Oh my gosh, yeah, we're rolling
a lot of crit fails up in here. This guy, the leader of this
cult pack who your GM designed for you to fight, rolls a crit
fail on brawling and he breaks his hand in the door.
His flesh hand. This person has no cyber attack
and you see blood start to pour down the side of the door as you
hear him coughing on the outside.
He falls and faints and if you leave him sealed in there,
everyone in there will die within the hour.
It may not have been a gunfight, but you've stopped these people
and their experiment. The only thing left of their
story will be the machine on the inside that makes this cursed
stuff. So I.
Guess we'll yeah. When you say the sword, is there
like a little jagged piece of sword left?
Yeah, there's a jagged piece of sword, but you couldn't use it
in combat. It's not agile enough anymore.
That's fair, but if we open the door I could use it to just
like. Shank people?
Absolutely. Oh yeah, I'll take care.
Of be aware the room is now full of carbon monoxide though so.
Well, carbon monoxide's six. Yeah, I would turn off the
vehicle. To start and turn off the
vehicle. What's done, needed to be done
is done. You got like, like the, the
rebreathers, like the things that the the people put on their
faces. I do actually.
Oh, I have one too. Oh.
Look at you guys. I bought one when we went to
that under, I mean that place we went.
Here I I don't need to be in there, I'm just going to hang
this one. What if what if what if you got
you? What if you got the drugs and
Miss Vivi can get the drugs and maybe she can like re engineer
it and help the people? I vote we just blow out the
fucking machine. This stuff sounds dark and
fucked. Give.
Me back the car in there. And blow the car up.
Yeah. I like that idea.
I like blowing shit up. Can we blow some shit up?
Yeah, feel free. But what if it like collapses
the tunnel and like? I was going to say, are we
structurally OK blowing shit up in here?
It's a couple 100 tons of concrete air.
We should be fine. All right.
You unlock the door and this coat number falls in front of
you, unconscious against the door with his hand still stuck
in it, bleeding down this rusted metal giant round door.
VD scooches the vehicle into the room up against the machine that
made this horrible stuff. Very quickly, do I just, I'm not
going to spend too much time on this, but do I see like a
manifesto or anything from these people because I'm just So what
is their motivation? So she's going to take a quick
peek. There's a computer in this room
on the east wall. I, I guess, yeah, I'll, I'll
open the, the PC and see if I can grab anything.
Yeah. Can I just like quickly transfer
it to my, to my agents? Yep.
OK, I'll, I'll do that so I don't have to sit here and like
read. You glean a few things.
A lot is repeated of what he said out loud about being
unclean and cyberwear being tainted and how it ruined his
life. Deeper in these documents as
you're perusing over them. After the download you see that
he lost his job to people who got cyberware but for personal
reasons never got any done. He was a genius, but nobody
wanted to work with someone who could only see 2020.
Interesting. Sad but he made this stuff that
causes the iron in your body to overcharge cyberware and
explode. Vivi just kind of shakes her
head and. Just.
Leaves it at that, and she leaves the computer.
How are making the car explode? Good question, Scabbard.
Yeah, it was your idea. What?
Kind of clothes are these guys wearing like these cultists,
There's clothes. Light armor jacks Jean jacket
kind of vibes OK. It'll be tearing strips of
cloth. Cool.
You tear strips of cloth, I'm assuming tie them together.
I. Have a lighter?
And just shove it in the gas tank.
Fantastic. Yeah, you create a makeshift
fuse while trying to. You soak it in tune too, as you
stick it into the gas tank and pull it out so that it'll
actually catch fire. That's five people's worth of
clothing that you can burn. And so each one of those people
gives you 5 feet worth of clothing that you can attach the
vehicles. That's one. 2/3. 4-5 which
reaches to the door and that is it.
Excellence gives us time to light the fuse and run all.
Right. I guess we better we better get
ready to run. Do it.
I'm ready. Damn.
You set fire to this makeshift fuse and it starts to move along
these clothes. Run.
Everyone run, roll athletics. Have to go, have to go.
Oh fuck, I'd. Like to point out that Ayona
can't really run. Oh fuck.
With that crit, can I help her? Yes, I carry her.
So you rolled a Crip? Iona tries to start running with
their latex boots and is left behind by everyone.
Everyone's rolling really, really well on athletics.
This is what would have happened.
There you go. Yeah, Iona rolls hilariously the
lowest on Athletics. Doesn't fall, but realizes that
they can't run and they can hear the fire getting closer to the
vehicle behind them. Pick Iona up and run with her.
I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry. All the while apologizing to
Iona. You get to the other side of the
room and you can you can hear and see the fire leave your
vision as it gets closer to the car.
One more athletics roll. Everyone except Iona, who's
being carried. Oh.
I'm honestly only looking for
crit failed. How the fuck do they run the
same thing? Oh, there it is.
Oh, everyone except Phoebe makes it into the next chamber.
VV slips on some human excrement at the doorway.
You save yourselves. You all watch fall on the ground
and you hear an explosion. This explosion is cool as shit.
It happens behind the as she falls forward.
I mean, this is the epitome of failing forward.
Vivi. Yes, you did get a decent amount
of shit on you falling prone, but by falling prone a piece of
shrapnel misses you and hits the wall, and you have foiled these
plans and saved Night City from a threat that they didn't even
know was happening. Well look at that end of the
day, you're hot shit. And that concludes no latency
