Last time on no latency. Clive I really want that
jetpack. Are we going to run into people?
Between your jetpack and my hoverboard, I think we're ready
to go. Sewer people Wait, wait, wait,
wait. We're going to be in hazmat
suits. Will they be hostile?
Well. Now I'm nervous about my head.
I'm sure you've never gotten any complaints.
Did we decide on which net runner we wanted to go with?
Four. F4 E What is happening here?
Oh God. OK, so he's the one.
The AI or whatever is down and they're waiting for us.
Room with the USB port. Pretty much.
OK, nine, you're coming with us on this job the.
Innovation, The jolly, the whimsy.
One of these days I'm going to catch you and I'm going to fix
that mute button of yours. As a gunk, I kind of understood.
It I don't know how good my sewing skills are anymore.
It's time. I mean, I'm ready.
I got my jet back. I've been ready to go like this
whole time. Wait what insurance level are
you? That depends on the co-pay.
It was under 1000. It was only 680 eddies.
That's. Not bad.
It's not bad that buy that buy. Insurance, yeah, because.
That's not bad. That's what the dice said.
That's nice. Fucking fantasy still.
Yeah, I've got this really cool old black D10 and I rolled a
gold one with it. I know it's very fancy.
What colour is the what? Colour is the are the numbers.
Black. Oh no, it's easy to read that.
I was going to say. No, you.
Have the leg black. And shinier than the rest.
I'm not sure if I'm Vendel in this moment, so I'm going to say
with the voice. Who's not Vandel in any moment,
this is true. We're all vandel.
We are all Vandel on this blessed day.
You're driving through the city and out there in the streets,
you're heading to this little area in the combat zone.
So, Jeb, to avoid any other interruptions or a driving
check. 20. 66 Yes, that's enough.
Yes, you find some good back alleys and avenues to make your
adventure through the nasty streets of the Combat Zone near
Sharks cards. Take a turn through the streets
and you'll be there in a few minutes.
All right, lock and load. We'll be there in a few minutes.
I I I load all my weapons. All of them.
Smile there's. A lot of weapons.
Being out there right through. Never enough.
He is OK walking and loading. I don't.
Know why Three Days Grace just popped in my head?
And you arrive on a small St. you believe the sewers to be
located. Oh man, look at the amount of
vending machines. If there's anything I know, it's
that we got to check those out first before we do anything
else. Everybody got their hazmat
suits. You you turn around and Iona is
it's just beaming already in a hazmat suit.
I don't. Live in a hazmat suit they
could. Oh, that's not very conspicuous.
It's tailored. You did overnight roll wardrobe
in style, That's amazing. Absolutely.
Give me one moment, give me one moment.
Yes, you do not make the suit any worse, but you also for a 13
don't make it that much better so it fits you.
It's nice. I just added some darts in the
side. Yes, absolutely.
Yeah, it, it cinches at the waist a little bit.
Oh, that's nice. I don't know.
I should ask you to tailor mine too.
Look at how bulky this thing is. I just, you know, sometimes I
just the hourglass figure I have, I just have to accentuate
the hazmat suit just. How big are these hat mats
suits? Like now I'm thinking we're all
just walking out there like looking like.
Yellow, yeah. We do like the monsters.
Think it's. Kind of snatched.
Everybody except for Iona is just walking around looking like
a a pea coloured version of the Stay Puff Marshmallow Man.
Or Iona is just like Slack. Yes.
Correct. Your slant I need a bulldog
clip. There's too much I.
Feel like I'm running around inside of an inflatable
dinosaur. Jeb, where did you park the van?
You know, over here next to the next to the vending machine,
parallel parked. Oh, wait a minute.
Backed in. There we go.
Nice. Wait a minute, I want to double
check that. Is that a vending machine?
This thing down here that says Vend, Yeah.
Vended God. I I was, I was a little worried
for a second. I was like, Jeb, maybe it's
actually the place where you got to sometimes pay for parking.
Name nothing like that. There's any machines all over
the city? It seems.
Argument for a vending machine, Jeb.
Huh. Do you always stop for a vending
machine, Jeb? Well, not all the time, but you
know, I tried. I tried to stop out of any
machine near whatever destination I'm going to so I
can always check out the vending machine on my way.
Oh, OK, odd. Is it?
Let's forgot we got a whole squad here.
We're rolling deep. The gang's all here.
OK, I hate to be the one to do this, but I feel that we need to
put some responsibilities on people for doing this.
So who's going to be watching for radioactive activity?
Like we're not in the radioactive zone yet, right?
No, but you have the detector retro.
The Geiger counter. The P bucket?
No, that's the shield. Just kidding.
So someone's got to be holding on to the P bucket and protect
that. Someone's got to be in charge of
the Geiger counter. I'll I'll take cold of the
Geiger counter and keep track of our radioactivity.
Nice. I should probably take the pee
bucket then because we need to have our best fighters to be
having their hands open in case something happens, right?
Good plan. And then I own as the face.
So you can't be, you can't be holding anything, otherwise you
look weak, so. Yes.
How are we supposed to know who's the leader if everybody's
carrying something? Yes, I you know what?
You're I'll let you, you know what?
You are a leader. You will be a leader.
No, let let me carry the P bucket you said.
You said our fighters. I can't shoot worth a damn.
But you're the face. I am the face.
And you can't look weak. And the waist.
I mean, sure. Well, it's because of the
outfit. I'm making a reference to a
thing you did earlier. I know I just when you said it,
I, I, I. I Oh, it's a harmony I.
Took the homonym. Yeah.
It was like, oh, that's a backhand.
It's it's supplement. Waste of space.
I meant the bit between the butt and the chest I.
May just got it. Me, no, Jeb said.
A waste of space and I knew what the hell meant.
OK, your expression. So we, yeah, I'm taking a look
at this. I mean, while we're here, mods
will take a look at this vending machine.
No. Yeah, just in case.
Roll the D6. Did anyone aside from me bring a
bag? It's just six.
You wrote a six. I have my medical bag.
I mean, you know, for this entire time, throughout all of
the adventures that we've had for the past like four or five
years or whatever, I've actually had a satchel.
Do you guys know about this? Oh.
Yeah, every time I see you, you've got a satchel on.
Yeah, I think I actually pointed out like episode like 2 of this
entire series and it's never come up, but I actually have had
a satchel this entire time. Yeah, and DD has a boom box.
Oh yeah, I do have. A always, always.
And I carry around my little. Forget.
I don't think we need the boom box.
It might make a good distraction actually.
It does come in handy when you least expect it.
We should bring the boom box. All right, I'll bring the boom
box. It's got a strap so.
True. I'm just, you know, I got the
Geiger counter, I got my medical bag, I got the boom box.
I'm pretty full up everybody. Your hoverboard folds into the
boom box as well, so right. It's like a little storage
thing, yeah. While while you're all
discussing this Jeb, you turn around and look at the vending
machine and find. Oh look at that.
Looks like we got a a Med patch, a skilled chip, and oh, a
rocket. Well, I don't have a don't have
a rocket launcher and I don't know, I don't feel like spending
1000 eddies on a skill trip is a good use of my money right now.
So and damn those are some expensive Med patches.
Yeah. Looks like I'm I'm all good.
Wait, did you just say rocket? I did, yeah, it's actually.
I run over and I pushed you up out of the way.
Jeb, you get pushed out of the way for elevation.
Nuts fall in these trash bags that are right.
Here now I'll just follow them. OK Jeb, you fall on 2 trash
bags, they are gross. You wearing a husband suit?
It doesn't matter. I buy the rocket for 100.
For 100 I buy the rocket. I buy the rocket.
The skill chip is the rarest skill chip.
By the way, Jeb, you rolled incredibly well on this vending
machine, and you rolled the times 2 skill skill chip, which
could be bought for at times 2 skill.
If they don't want it, I'll buy it.
I am going to sneak in here Remy real fast and get that Med patch
because Vivi's bag is is a finite supply.
Cool. True.
So I'm going to you pay 250 eddies and pull the Med patch
just from the side Retro as he stares at the selector for the
skilled chip. Yeah, I've gotten into like
Pokémon scalper mode right now and just full protective
hovering over it. Unless anyone else is saying
that they want that skill trip, I'm going to buy that skill trip
skill selection required. I was going to say martial arts,
but. You've already got that.
No, I don't. Not for martial arts.
Oh, do you not know? Can we?
Can we insert it later?
I have to go look up times 2. I think the obvious choice is
auto fire, but that's just me. Oh, auto fire.
Yeah, Actually, auto fire is a pretty good one.
Yeah, let's go with auto fire, OK?
You buy an auto fire skill chip for 1000 eddies.
Anyone with a skills chip slot can use it.
Woo Hoo, now this feels like heavy metal.
Now you're standing in this street.
You've parked your van onto the sidewalk in this abandoned area,
and on the other side of the street you see a bunch of boxes.
There are a few more vending machines and between some of the
boxes and crates you can see some people and some stuff.
People and stuff. I love stuff.
Where is the entrance to the sewers that is supposed to be
around here? I suppose we'll have to look
around, Jeb. Isn't that what you normally do?
No, that's not really a math thing, but I see what you're
saying. We the collective.
Should we check out these other vending machines before?
Now, I suppose we should probably get rid of this person,
this person that's here up here and sitting on a a couch in the
middle of the street, probably get them out of here.
We don't want any witnesses or anything in case someone comes
looking for us, you know all. Right, I'm going to run across
the street. Iona you cross the street and
it's quiet so it requires no roll.
You walk up to this vending machine and you have rolled a
full on lovely 6 and you also find 3 different items in this
one. Unfortunately the spending
machine is broken. Roll AD 10 3.
The vending machine does not have the next two items.
It is broken. Unfortunately, it sparks as you
come close to it and goes dark. Mother Trucker.
Well, Mother Trucker. Job job.
Do you want to check the other one?
Yeah, sure, one. Broken. 4 You find two things in
this vending machine. This.
One's kind of like glass themed. It's got blue glass and a glass
grenade. What'd you say, blue glass?
Blue. Glass.
I love me blue glass. I mean, it's honestly pretty
cheap. No, we're not taking any blue
glass with us. Look, if we're going to be in
the wasteland, might as well get wild with it, right?
No. It's really that's like smash.
Any of that is fine. Blue glass is like heroin.
Isn't it? It's more like peyote, really.
It's not good for you that. Makes you hallucinate a lot of
really cool shit. Well, I don't think that that
would be the best idea for. Agreed.
Raiding the Arasaka I. Mean it'll.
Definitely. You know, the high will come
down by the time we get there. I mean, we got to walk a bit of
a distance, right? So, like, come on, let's enjoy
nature. How often do we get to do that,
you know? By nature do you mean the
sewers? Yeah.
Ah, no, thank you. Well, it'll make your demeanor
not as snarky. I don't think that's true, is
it? Are you just nicer on blue
glass? Hold on.
Just real quick. Sorry, out of character real
quick. Did you say that it it's like
paella? No peyote.
Peyote. OK, it's.
Like the fish dish, it's. Like paella is a dish.
Look. It's.
Delicious. It's like peyote, but it tastes
like paella. Whoa.
Blue glass, like, Like the glass you find on the beach that's
been eroded, it looks like. That's nice.
I would. It does look pretty.
I do. But no judge.
Maybe grenade Jeb. Maybe we should get that grenade
that looks good. You know, I've never actually
never tried a a glass grenade before.
I think I'll take a a few of those.
How many got in there? I'm rolling AD 43.
Doesn't joy make those? Joy does make those.
I'll take some of those. So just so you're aware, Jeff,
do you know what a glass grenade does?
Nope, don't tell me until I use it.
OK, wait. Why are we buying glass
grenades? We have glass grenades at home.
Yeah, I mean, I, you know, they're right here.
We didn't bring any with us though, so.
They're not homemade glass grenades.
We could have gotten. You better than.
McDonald's. I bet could have asked nicely.
When was the last time anyone talked to Joy?
I haven't. I haven't.
I said goodbye. I didn't.
Oh, I have not. I have not done assessments on
joy in in some time. Yes.
You're her physician? Yeah, she lost an arm.
Yeah, I kind of messed up there. That's OK, You're not really a
doctor doctor anymore. You're more of an adventurer.
Yeah, this is true. Feel come back, Medic.
Yeah and also I am a a a bad ass bitch.
Correct. I mean.
Don't you forget it. Clock that Vivi bad ass bitch.
Yeah, I. Don't know how you all screwed
up. Anytime we see I see Joy, I just
give her the what's up, but nod and then they give me the what's
up, nod back and we're like cool and that's it.
Sounds like you 2 are really close.
You wouldn't believe the connection that we have with
that, with just being a wireless.
Have you ever noticed that when you're like around somebody and
you're too uncomfortable, so you feel like at the talk, talk,
talk, talk, talk, talk, talk, talk, talk, talk, talk, when
you're around somebody comfortable, you can just be
like, yeah, and you already know.
And I thought being in a book club with joy was special.
I get it, GM. Yes.
Can I make AI forget? Is there perception in this
game? Yes, very much so.
You have a very high perception as well.
What could be under? Oh, everybody went back to Jade
not knowing how the game plays. Oh, good.
OK, that took it. That took a few episodes.
Here we. How to worry?
There for a second. Oh. 19 Yes.
Is there anything specific you want to know?
Two things actually. I would like to listen with my
listening ears to see if the people behind the boxes that are
directly next to us are saying anything about us while I scan
the area for anything that looks out of place that might be an
entrance. OK, so between the two vending
machines you see a hatch on the ground.
You notice that it's pretty dusty and hasn't been opened in
a while. You're unsure if it can even
open. What you hear on the other side
are two people talking pretty casually.
They seem pretty used to people driving by.
They they seem like they've been here for a while.
The thing you notice about the little area they're in before
really listening is the potted plant right there.
Looks like it came from a corporate lobby.
Oh. 3000 miles of open Rd.
The Chip and retro show. Oh man, this is going to be
tough. Join Jeff.
Wakey wakey, sleepy Princess. And retro.
I did not agree to this, Jeff. On the road trip of a lifetime.
Oh yes, she did. Fans got some tunes on the mix.
No, it was the second car to the left.
As they take on Route 66. The Jab and Retro show brought
to you by No Latency. I hate Rd. trips.
Listen to the jab and. Retro Show on Spotify with your
Patreon membership at patreon.com.
Forward slash. No latency and check out more at
nolatencypodcast.com. We'll just have to ship some of
the stuff out. I mean, that briefcase has got
to be worth something. Yeah, but we really don't have
enough gear for the sale, so we've got to just hold the door.
I bring something good. Yeah.
I suppose I just hate waiting. Well, the last time you went
down there, you got hurt. Now your foot is burned.
Yeah, but I just. We're going to have to spend
some of our loot on repairing your goddamn foot.
Now you got to be more careful. I I.
Don't you hear them disappointingly sigh?
Only J only I don't want to cut that right.
And VB because VB has super ears.
Oh yeah. Because I was going to say, I
don't think I heard any of that because I'm no staring at this
blue glass like it's a hot pie on a windowsill at the moment.
Salivate. Floating through the air.
I tasting drugs. Retro Over your shoulder comes a
hand wrapped in a hazmat suit. Retro you can resist.
Let's go. Roll something to convince me.
I rolled A9 so. I.
All right, pseudo dad. I do have to let you guys know
that I think that these two over here, sorry, sorry.
I think that these two over here might know where the entrance
is. Like, look, OK, look, look at
that plant that's obviously from a lobby somewhere.
That's not just an outdoor potted plant, that's indoor
decor. How do you know?
Can we tell if it's a real plant or is it one of those fake bio
plants that they have nowadays inside of corporations that
never wilt or anything because it's really more of a furniture
piece and not a living item anymore?
Oh. It's it is 100% not a real
plant. OK, so there ain't no
chlorophyll in that thing? No, it is not.
What? What?
Not osmosis for photosynthesizing?
There's no sun anyway, so. Oh yeah, that's what it's
called. So what are we going to do?
Should should we convince them to tell us where it is?
Or cure the face so. I think so, I think.
Come on, Phoebe, cure the ears. You, you take the lead, Iona.
I'll, I'll back up. I'm just the ass. 9 Shut the
fuck up. Nice little hazmats, it's just.
Wiggling in the way. Come on, we gave 9A hazmat suit.
You don't even. Need 10 of suit.
Because you have 10 of them. If we're fun, why wouldn't we?
Everybody. Look at how cute he looks.
You know what? I wasn't sure if it was going to
be fun. It is fun.
All right, I'm covering on the corner in my house about suit.
Yeah, but also snatched. So it's so cyberpunk.
I'm going to I'm going to say actually, you know what Jade
this is? This is something I should have
done the moment you did that inspiration.
It's very good. Thank you.
It's so Iona you get that? So you walk into this little
area and it looks like these people have kind of set up shop.
As you turn the corner, you see them casually talking to each
other. They're not really guarding.
One of them has a gun, but it's in their holster.
And in this little corner you see a red sofa, a water cooler,
a desk, some chairs, and that plant.
And then right in the middle there's a hatch on the ground.
Do I also see said briefcase? You see said briefcase, this
blue briefcase. What are we doing?
Did you move along? Yeah.
Move along. Well it it seems like you have
something that I need and all I would like is to enter.
Enter what? Yeah, we don't know what you're
talking about. I point with the Hatch on the
ground. So in front of the Hatch on the
ground you see some Japanese text.
It says secret hatch do not open.
Japanese text on ground click. The text is probably old.
Text is old, probably pre the red.
I really wish. Is this considered kanji?
Yes. Yeah, I hold on.
Let me Iona knows Japanese, apparently.
I do know that this is the entrance to the Arisaka
building. It says it right there.
That's what that says. Well, finders keepers, losers,
fuck off. I think that's the wrong answer.
Do you want to try again? Roll for it.
See, I would talk smack about you, but I I fear that the dice
karma will blow up in my face. All right?
No, I I really think you should just let me into the Hatch.
Look, you seem like a nice person and unusually well
prepared to go in. It's not good down there.
We've been waiting for a buddy for a while, but it's too
dangerous for us to go in. I'm hurt, so is she.
Like, I would shoot you, but I can't really get up.
I'm just trying to rest. We didn't get much on our last
run. If you're scavenging like all
the good stuff is passing really gnarly radiation.
You just want to tell them everything.
Well, they're old in 19 and they don't seem like they're going to
hurt us if we just tell them what they want to know.
You are very smart. I might have the low voice, but
I'm actually pretty smart. Well, listen, I.
Select this briefcase. What's in the briefcase?
Nothing. That you know of.
Well I opened it, there was nothing in it.
It's just pre war, you know pre red, so it's worth something to
a collector. 20 bucks. More than that, dude.
You know these are my friends also.
Square head dude kind of weird in that suit.
Better than a flat ass. Got him dude.
I suppose you got me. Honestly man, I really do feel
bad for you. Your tailbone is really going to
be hurting you when you hit your 40s.
Oh, thanks. She could have checked out.
I guess I just need to see a doctor.
Nudge. No comment.
There's nothing you can do for flat butt syndrome,
unfortunately. Nothing.
Nothing you can do. So are you just going?
To go down there. Yes, and if you let us pass, we
can keep an eye out for your friend.
That seems fair, but who's going to keep an eye on that?
She points across the street at your car.
Oh. Jeb.
Jeb, that's you. You know, never really thought
about that, but there's a good chance that, I don't know, this
kind of feels like like what we've been leading up to for the
past like, year or so. So, you know, I figure we'll be
down there for quite a while and who knows if all of us are going
to make it out alive. So maybe it is best that we put
Vanna Wyatt somewhere safe. Or we could call up somebody and
keep an eye, like call a friend to keep an eye on it or or at
least take it and put it somewhere safe.
You know what? Tuna, I bet.
Tuna, Yeah, would want to take it.
An eye on it. And then if anything happens to
us, I I say we give it to him. If I die, I say it goes to him.
OK, I think that's a good idea. All right, one SEC.
Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait. Hold on.
He's already dialing, you know that.
Yeah, wait, I put a lot of work into that jab.
Vanna White is just as much mine as is yours.
Hey, Tuna. Hey, tell you what, we're on the
corner of 43rd and Pine. And if you just want to come
grab Vanna White and take her back to to your place.
We're about to go on a real, real big mission here.
And you know, who knows what can happen to us?
So if something does, you know, feel free to keep her.
It's all yours. OK.
Do you want me to do maintenance?
I mean, yeah, that'd be great all.
Right, you're off. Sure, if you're alive, I'm still
going to charge you. But if I'm not.
I'll keep the van. You got it all right, Cory,
Crystal clear. You have a great one buddy all.
Right. Make sure somebody's watching
it. It'll take me a few hours to get
there. I've got hours.
Oh shit. Yeah, just some fucking MPC.
You'll be fine, all right. Good luck.
Don't. Die.
Thanks. Cannot believe you.
Your phone or your? Your tile, what do we call it?
Yeah, it's a flip. It's a flip tile.
Your flip tile to the old ones made a.
Really strange squelching noise. Have you closed it?
Is it sticky? To really clean that Jeb.
Yeah. Oh, it's, I mean, wait, who's
tile? Who isn't sticky, You know what
I mean? Mine.
Really. OK, but retro, yours is
definitely sticky, am I right? No, I clean mine all the time.
What are you talking about? Clean it how you supposed to
clean it. These things are not waterproof.
It's it's a hand in rag dude, come on.
Hard work put in the hard work work.
I mean, it's just a tool at OK, you don't look at me like you
don't. Take a lot of.
A lot of people have sticky tiles.
When you don't take care of your tools and you fail your tool,
you are inevitably to have your tool fail you.
That's. A good thing.
Yeah, OK, Dad and and Jeb walks away going down the they're
going down the street. Hello.
Is anyone available to watch my car for let's say fifty 80s?
I just, I just offered to that guy, did he not?
Oh, I. Missed it.
Oh, Jeb down down here. Jeb down here.
Oh. Oh yeah.
The these lovely people who are going to let us into the Hatch.
We'll watch the car. Fifty 80s.
What do you think? Road Trading.
Oh, guy. Hey, you're good at that.
I am good at that. People forget about that.
Yeah, you're very good at trading.
I was out tempted to try to pull a Joe Henry.
Trade this money with that service. 23, yes. 50 all day.
It's because you know what? It's because people just
appreciate how straight laced and, you know, straight is
narrow that Jeb is. He says I've got money, you've
got service, let's do a trade. Sometimes he's got the service
and you've got the money. Oh.
My God, you're. So awful.
Oh yeah, we're all going in. That wasn't.
Clear. We we should really get going
now. We are a little conspicuous.
Could you? Let's just get going.
Don't get up. I, I, I know that your, your
butt is flat and it probably hurts.
We'll, we'll just, we'll just go.
Thank you again. Thank you for not stealing my
briefcase. You can have it.
I I don't want your briefcase, Your empty briefcase.
It's cool. It is cool.
Yeah. Congratulations.
When you find that hidden pocket, it'd be good times.
Yeah, I just be careful down there, scavengers.
And he salutes you like he thinks you're all scavengers
because you rolled high. Jeff salutes.
I also salute I. Don't salute.
Not surprised you find yourselves in this old abandoned
sewer. You make your way down into this
underground space, and in this little room there are a few
pieces of trash. There's an old metal plate,
there's an old vending machine for some reason down here, and a
crate marked Arasaka. 2 crates marked Arasaka.
Are they open? No, they're just big old
chipping crates. They're more like boxes that you
can move and climb. They're rather large.
They're about 5 feet across. What are they made of?
Wood. Metal, Wood.
Damn, I'd like to inspect one to see if I can crack it open.
Sure. Perception.
I'm sure there's nothing in it, but I'll be damned if you're
going to pull a Final Fantasy 7 on me and have one of the best
damn weapons in the 1st 15 minutes.
You knock on it and it sounds hollow, but it also sounds
really sturdy. Would be good cover in a fight.
Hollow but sturdy. Like a like it could contain
something, but the one that you are tapping does not.
OK. Anybody else?
Oh hey, VV doc, you mind taking a look?
Can you just double check that it's, you know, full of fuel and
it's all ready to go? You can run a diagnostic I
think, if you just press the the three buttons at the top at the
same time and hold it for three seconds.
OK, hold for three seconds. Are you sure?
Don't. Hold it for 5 though, because
then it will do a full reboot and it will sputter a little
bit. So don't hold it 3 seconds only,
OK? OK, one Mississippi, two no.
No, they're not Mississippi. No, not Mississippi seconds.
You get a, you get 3. Green lights your jet.
Pack is your jet. Pack is has a little counter on
it for how many times it has been flown and it lists one.
Nash Hell yeah. OK, Hell yeah.
All right, well, no one else is going to.
I'm just going to go ahead and check the vending machine, all
right? Five.
If you find 2, I'm alive. #5 is alive.
This vending machine is full of cool shades of very different
descriptions and a few different packets of bubble tea.
You know what, I I, I just want to go with the joke now that I
want to make, I want to, I actually want to buy those cool
shades, just like Johnny #5 from Short Circuit.
Hell yeah 5 eddies. And then I realized I can't wear
them because I have ATV for a head.
What the fuck you thinking? Shall we head to the store and
go through? Blaze fart.
You open the door, you step into another room.
There are a few more crates in here that the other end of the
room is a little computer terminal at the locked door.
Oh, retro. Would you like to look around
the room before you call retros? I call retro and then I begin to
proceed and look around at these crates and things.
Sure, right? Roll Perception Yes 18 Yes, you
discover on the N wall a little vent hatch that's locked.
Oh OK, there's a vent here in case retro you can't get through
that keypad do. You want to try and unlock it
PV? Are you compelled?
Yeah, you know what? Shoot, it's locked.
Let me try. Let me try my skill.
And if not? Maybe Jeb you can help.
Yeah, sure, why not? Yeah, Jeb's really good at
knowing about how events work. Yep, a lot of experience.
Yeah, I'm a bit I'm a bit of a damn of a of a vent planner.
Come on, come on. VV Iona 9.
I know you like that one Nine. That's right up your alley,
buddy. I don't.
Get it? Baby shakes her head.
There's like an E Vance planner, like a like a plan evance, but
it's just a vent because I'm I'm known as kind of the vent guy
around here. You haven't been on many
missions thus recently, but Vance kind of crawling around,
Vance being sneaky, shooting people with my two guns, having
a bird, kind of the whole thing. Bebe you with a 17 unlock vent
and it flies open. Oh.
That wasn't too difficult. OK, this fence are open in case
we are feeling vents. Oh, I am.
I'm going in. OK.
Good luck, Jeb. Check check the Geiger counter
first. Oh yeah, yeah, that's probably a
good idea. I just like stick my hand.
Oh, Jeb's already in. You detect no no radiation
inside of these vents. Thank God Jeb didn't grow up
during play space times hours. He's in there running around
like a hamster. Jeb, you explore these tunnels?
Yep. Oh yeah, Jeb in his element.
He likes to sing to himself a little bit.
Jeb, I'm Jeb in a turtle. Go, Dad.
You come up against a grate which has some like debris on
it. It's just trash.
Very easy to remove, no roll whatsoever.
You just have to ask. You brush the trash away and
through these bars in the wall, you peek into this little room.
I would like to say I am trying to open the door, however I'm
also being very lazy about it so I'm just brute forcing 000000.
Doesn't work. 0000100002. While Retro is doing that, Jeb
role perception OK. I've been this entire time I've
been trying to remember Iona's risky.
Risky. What are you doing here bud?
OK, oh, perception take. A look.
All right. Hey everyone, can you, can you
see through? Well, at least Iona, can you see
through Risky Risky's eyes? I blink.
Yeah, yes, yes, I can see.
So you. Can see this.
Too, Inside this tiny room, you see some old Japanese written on
the ground. You see a panel on the other
side of the wall that looks a lot like the door panel in the
room you just left. And there's like a metal robot
on the ground and it's moving around and finding bits of trash
and debris and it looks like it's eating it.
Well, well, well, looks like we've got our first son of a
bitch. I would have to agree.
Is that a trash robot? Does is does it just eat trash?
Throw it around the ring and eat trash.
You watch it glow and it drops a cube behind it.
Oh, it's. Like a walleye.
A what? A walleye.
You know, them trash robots go around, they're kind of cubic in
nature and they kind of scrunch up all the the trash in and when
they come back in two cubes poop Mount Black.
Oh, a Walley. A Walley.
Oh, all right. I didn't know that's what they
were called. Yeah.
We seem outside out in the the bad.
It moves up to the great looking at you through its single eye.
Risky's going to back the fuck up.
Risky's like away. And you hear it start to angrily
grasp at the bars since it heard you.
The noise scrapes and sends a chill down your spine.
Roll. Resist torture drugs.
Yeah, there you go. 15 Not enough sends a chill up your
spine and you don't pay attention and you scrape your
hand on some of the metal in this little corner of the sewers
and you take 1D6 damage. Sadly just a one, but it still
hurts. The other thing you noticed in
there is the panel of right across from that little grate is
displaying a red error symbol or something wrong with it.
Do you make your way back to the crew?
Yeah, looks like about going in that way.
You continue to hear over here 204. 520462047.
Rob Perception. Wait.
Oh, Nope, You find nothing. Yep.
Dust myself off? Well, that's a pretty good
venge, not to say. There is a room past this room
with a Wall-e. Yeah.
It looked violent on the video. It did look pretty violent.
Well, that ain't no wall-e then. Wall-e ain't violent.
The door suddenly opens behind you. 300076-O got it finally.
It startles all of you. There's a green glow in the
distance. Oh.
And the darkness feels like it harms.
Oh. That's not good.
Next time on no latency. It's detecting a bit more
radiation that way, so that is bad Did.
You guys hear that? Who replied to my knock?
What do you mean who replied to your knock?
I take a look at the door. Oh my God.
That guy should be fucking. Fired 09, come back 9.
Are we locking alone the game alone?
Come back. Oh yeah, no retro.
Fully radioactive there. Was that the sound you heard
earlier? Dora, it's just like a little
like bachelor pad down here or what?
Something not making sense here. We won't know now.
All right, somebody grabbed the bucket.
Because yes, smashed it to bits, Jeb, that's OK are.
You thinking what I'm thinking? Breaching clear.
We should all stick together. Can I try?
Glowing and green. Yeah, that's probably not good.
Yeah, I'm going to go with no. Who gave the robot a gun?
Holy shit. Is 9 OK?
Go looking for Balkan. Sometimes Balk finds you, so we
probably should have lead with that when you kind of went all
gung ho earlier. Sorry about that.
