Last time on no latency. You know, I'm just really glad
that we took the time to give back to the community we're
making out in the kitchen. I have conflicted emotions about
that. You were necking, Reeves.
Yeah, yeah. Let's stop spilling the bubble
tea. Let's figure this out.
Oh, that is juicy. Why is blowing it up always the
answer? Going through the front door has
usually been our jam, but. I vote from below as well, not
just because it's cool. Going to be honest, first time
on the water. Stay in a straight line.
Easy does it. We should make it perfectly past
everything. Yes, here we go.
Unless they drifted to us. Right, you're right.
Whose port? I don't know.
I'm. I'm on the left.
That's you, Jeff. Oh Lord, oh Lord, oh.
Shoot. It OK oh.
Boy, I don't know why, but I have a sinking feeling.
Right. So do you.
Do we wait here? You're going to have to wait
here. Right.
And and if and if it gets like if I get attacked or if it's and
I leave, will you be angry? No, I'll just kill you.
That's shitty. But fair, I would feel, right.
You'll have us to die so. We're not really to die.
Like if if they're going to blow up the submarine and I will die
along with the sub, leaving you stranded here but also me dead.
Would you not prefer for me to, like, go further away and still
be in radio contact? We'll definitely do that.
Right, OK. That's what I was asking.
I wasn't saying I was going to go back to my Well, that's what
it sounded like you weren't very explicit with.
That's what I meant the first time.
And I'm lying right now. Who knows?
Well, I don't like liars. I'm not a liar.
I'm, I'm pirate. Help me you are.
Let's not instill in confidence, all right, I'm going to take it
on a case by case basis with you right now.
That's fair. All right, let's just.
If this over would then. Let's get gold.
Shall we head in? And hatch.
Retro grabs the Hatch handle spinner and spins it and the
Hatch Pistons open and you are here in the wet dock.
There's a rectangular room you're in.
You're in sort of a pit of water and a bit like a diving bell.
This is where the submarine came up underneath and it's broken
the surface. You're now standing on top of
the submarine. There's nobody in here.
Yeah. Looks like.
Because you all managed to stealth your way in.
Stealth out on getting plank onto the dock and I can just
feel the pressure of the compressed air down here.
It feels like when it's really muggy out, right?
And you can just feel that kind of like air pressure, stickiness
to your skin. Yeah, also, it smells like salt.
It does. Oh, Retro, you wouldn't know
that. That's right.
Sorry. Smells the same to me.
Everything smells the same to you.
You you think maybe when we get back you should you should maybe
invest in like a olfactory module or something, you know,
put right there underneath your your CD tray.
I mean, that's true, but to be honest, now I can eat both my
veggies and chocolate and it all tastes the same.
To investigate this room further, roll Perception.
Sure, this. Is my perception song.
Whoa, go ahead. VV You rolled 21 and what you
perceive in this room is that the the lockers on either side
of the room, there are just two lockers in here for holding
equipment there are they're open, you can tell that they're
unlocked and. Jeb, as you're climbing up from
the gangplank, making your way into the little area in front of
the door that is the exit to this room, you kick something.
When you look down, it's some eddies.
You found 200 eddies because you rolled 23 + 4.
There's you means around, huh? Wow.
I'm going to. We'll peek in these lockers, see
what's in there. You open one of the lockers and
there is a wet suit and a rebreather, OK?
This is good for us to have in case.
One of our rebreathers goes. Yeah, in case we need an extra,
I'll grab the rebreather at least.
The wet suit will fit everyone since it's very stretchy.
What's in the other locker? In the other locker is another
wet suit, but the rebreather is missing and at the bottom of the
locker you can see a 50 Eddy Bill.
Oh, more money. I'll take it.
OK, there's a couple of wet suits here, so and a rebreather,
so if we need some extra stuff, at least we know it's here.
Yeah, no, no need to carry it around with us.
As boats goes, come back wherever if you need it.
I guess we don't need to. I'll take the rebreather just in
case, but I don't want to carry around the wet suits.
Bendel just looks at Retro's Tetramino backpack.
I mean you do have the space. Nice backpack you got there.
That's where I keep all my Jizziness snaps.
You don't have that many jizz and the snaps, and anyway the
boom box is full. All right.
Throw them in there just in case.
So you grab both wet suits and you only really have enough
space for about three or four more things.
All right, let's press forward then, shall we?
We shall. As you walk up to the door, you
see on the door it says authorized personnel only.
Well. Well, because we got turned
around, we're not authorized. We knew.
This was going to be stealth all the way through, so let's
proceed with caution. Maybe open the door just a
smidge and see if there's anybody on the other side.
Wait, should we have, should we have Retro Go in and, you know,
take a look at this padlock or something, see if there's an
alarm, all right? I'll take a look at the the
security. Security.
The thing you notice about this door is that it's an airlock
door. So if this room flooded, the
water would not pour through this door.
All right. So if you need to open this door
quietly and want to, it will be more difficult since there is an
air seal involved. I'm going to want to open it
quietly all. Right, I tried 33.
Yes, the the mechanism on the outside has a bunch of little
sockets that you can plug in one of your figure attachments to.
And you're able to manually undo the bolts on the side.
Don't do that. And then very slowly let the air
out. So instead of sounding loud like
an airlock, sounds, kind of sounds like you're letting the
air out of the balloon very carefully.
The only noise that actually happens is a fairly solid thunk.
Pretty sure you got away with it all right.
I got the door. Y'all.
Let me help. OK, I got the.
Back. So you walk into this little air
lock room. Oh, this door's not locked.
So are we going to, like, peer out?
Be stealthy Stealth mission if you're on site.
So somebody rolls stealth if you want to peer out this door.
I mean there's. Unless you want to just barrel
in like you and the place, no. 14.
Yes, Jade, you open the door and you're able to just peek out
without being seen. I am seeing a sitting area.
Looks like some couches, some lockers, Oh.
Shit, I see there's glass and behind the glass is a desk and
there is someone sitting at the desk.
I'm gonna duck my head back inside so if we go into this
room, someone will see us. I own a role perception
perception. 15 Yes, that's enough.
The thing you notice about this person sitting at that desk you
just observed is that they are playing with their agent and.
Is that is that what the kids are calling it these days?
You can see the colours of some kind of video or game reflecting
on their face. Oh OK, they got joystick.
If someone is stealthy enough, you might be able to get to the
door that is closest to us. I'm also trying to think who our
most stealthy person is. I've got enough.
Regretting it. I'll sneak in and I'll throw
your back. Doc.
You know, hit him in the hand and then they'll get knocked
down. I wait.
I do have to say something. From what I can see through this
door. Still, I saw movement of another
person there. So there are multiple people in
there. It looks like it.
What if we just bust in real fast and say everyone get on the
fucking ground or we're going to blow your faces off?
That really goes against our stealth mission, yeah, yeah.
Can I see if, can I do a perception to see if there's any
ventilation into that room that we can access?
Sure, let. Me.
Take a look. 14 There is not ventilation that you can access
that gets into there. However, there is a vent in the
roof of the airlock you're in that would take you to right
outside the door, avoiding the window 14.
Wait, the vents that big? That's a big ass fence.
You could squeeze through it. Vendale could very easily get
through there. And it would lead you to past
the window, continuing your stealth mission.
Hey guys, there's a vent above. A smaller person could fit
through there. My head for sure is not going to
fit in that thing. I'm a smaller person.
Vandal can fit. I can fit.
Only broad. Slow.
Phoebe could fit. They're pretty small.
Yeah, I probably could. Jeb, you're pretty skinny.
I think the only person who can't fit is retro because your
head, you're not fat. So I got a fat head.
Yeah, but I'm like, I just want to point out that, like, you
know, you carry a lot of stuff. You're actually fairly strong.
You're just kind of stocky. What if?
OK, So what if, like most of us go through the vent and then
retro, you quietly get to the other door?
That reduces at least the risk of all of us walking through
and. Alerting the people in there to
just one while the rest of us go through the vents maybe.
Well, all right. How about you guys?
If you guys want to go take a look at the vents, I'd like to
go and check these lockers real quick.
But you. Might have seen Kevin.
It might. Yeah, it's.
I'm gonna do. I'm gonna do a quick dash cross.
OK. Do you do you follow Vendel into
the vents? Yes.
Iona, do you follow Vendel into the vents?
I do. And does Jeb follow you into
the? Vents.
I think so, yeah. All right, everybody, follow me.
All right, leave the white. Iona, as you get into the vent,
you're a little uncomfortable because it is quite dusty in
here. Yes.
Oh, you're on a nine. Oh, wow.
With all that extra sanitizer. We're just sliding along.
That's quiet. Well done.
Thank you. It's a little slimy, but that's
OK. It'll allow.
You. I'm a little light headed from
the alcohol smells so strong. I don't know.
This is kind of a lot. You're all heading down into the
vent, and you drop out just in front of the door, out of the
prying eyes of the people inside, silently.
Now we just have to hope that Retro makes it through.
Yeah, run your Stealth 15. Yes, you peek out and you see
the person at the desk kind of look really happy, as if they've
beaten a level. It's a perfect moment to dash
across into the area with the lockers.
OK. I'm going to check in these
lockers, I'm going to see if there's anything in them.
OK, do it quietly. What am I not quiet all?
The time. Retro You look through the
lockers, roll Perception 3 * 1814 and 17.
In one of the lockers you find a it's it's like a wet suit, but
it's more like a diving suit. It's got metal armour attached
to the outside in case you were to come up against some of the
wildlife outside or presumably the turrets.
Any kind of it. It would protect you against
thermal radiation quite well, so it looks like it's probably
designed for that. One of the other lockers you
don't find a lot. You find about 110 eddies and a
packet of gizmos snaps, and in the final locker that you
managed to pry open you find a oxygen tank.
What you? Don't need if you have a
rebreather. Yeah, I'll just trash that.
It's a well, oxygen's really flat.
OK, true. I don't think I can carry it.
I don't think. I don't think I can fit it in my
Tetromino backpack. You I said you could have four
more things. That's three things.
Well, no, it's not. It's it's two things because
money doesn't take up space. And either there's the Gisner
snaps you can. No, because I just eat.
I just eat those already. All right, so you eat the.
Gisner storing those in your stomach.
Oh, it's mixed like the cigarettes.
I know you don't need it, but you gain two half.
Yay, I'm also filled with happiness now.
Yeah. All that ginger.
All right, we're we're outside the door.
What do we do now? I.
Don't think we're going to get this far, to be honest.
Stealth probably continue to do that.
All right. Are we?
Do we? Are we just killing everyone?
Yeah, you don't. You know, I just maybe, maybe we
should have asked for, like, sleeping darts or something.
Yeah. If only if one of us had
sleeping darts. No.
Yeah, I I can't help but feel like you're looking at me.
I'm not looking at. You.
I have trunk cards. Oh.
But I only have five of them so. Well, maybe there are only 5
people we don't know. We might have to make it, make
them last. So, you know, maybe we can trunk
somebody and then pull it out. We should make them count.
Oh goodness. As you're all standing next to
the door, the you notice that the door doesn't quite meet the
ground, so your hush tones aren't heard on the other side,
but you could slip something under the door if you wanted to.
Like a trek though. If you can aim it well.
Or we could just burst through the door and just pop.
It's a little risky, you. Could also just interact them
with drugs, couldn't we? I I have an idea actually.
What's that? I could send risky through as a
distraction and then you can pop open the door and shoot them
with the trank darts. Or just running and and pop them
out upside the head with the baseball man.
I I like Iona's plan. I think the distraction is good
and I unclippers. Do Jeb's plan.
The as a as a as as a backup. That's the as a backup.
It's a great plan, Jeb, OK? Great backup.
Thank you. So I, I, I unclip Risky.
Oh God. OK, I was going to tell you to
go in there and start blinking lights and making noise, but if
you if you go in there and do that and say, oh woo a bunch,
I'm sure that they will either think you're cute or a menace
and that won't be enough of a distraction.
Can you do that for me? Oh, yeah.
All right, I'm going to send you under the door now.
No risky Spent too much time with Phoebe's gun.
Risky climbs down your leg and scooches underneath the door
into this little sub room and starts to make some noise and
you can hear the people on the other side.
Start to react and the guards now jumping up and down trying
to like step on risky but risky's jumping around, roll
evasion and the guy drops his agent on the ground.
Oh fuck no. No bugs.
I. Fucking have bugs.
There's not. A good bugs in the water, OK?
Oh Lord. And you hear a little crunch.
On. Well, on that I with just enough
distraction, I burst in and try to shoot them both with trank
darts. Do it.
I'm going to put three luck into this shot.
Risky is giving you plus one because they failed their
evasion. I'll still put the three, so 4
total. I'd like to help just by sending
good vibes. I feel the positive energy.
I want to run with my combat shovel like, just in case he
doesn't go down immediately and just like.
Kunk. Him right outside the head.
So VV, you step in, your first shot hits the guard who just
stepped on risky right in the back of the neck and go and he
falls over and faints. You cock the dart gun and point
it at the. Second one, I'm going to put two
luck into this one as well, just in case. 24 And the dart hits
him square in the middle of the. Head Whoa.
That's not. And he fights on the ground.
All right, they're both dead. We did it and.
Jim is like running like, right, Like as he goes, oh, that's.
Not good, just goes tongue with. The shovel right across.
And he falls on the ground. Risky.
Unfortunately is fairly damaged, not.
Dead, but very broken. I scoop up their little, tiny
little body and I put them in my pocket.
I'm so sorry. Risky will return, but you now
have to repair risky in some form.
Retro. We knocked him out.
We did it. Oh shit, I can go back.
Yeah, yeah, yeah. Come over.
Here. Oh, OK, yeah.
Just look around the corner, OK? Yeah.
And as you walk into the into the room.
Retro You can see Jib standing over one of the guys with a
shovel A. Huge bruise already starting to
form on his head. Oh yeah, he's, he's got, he's
got a knot on his head pretty good.
Phoebe, how long does the tranquilizer effect work for?
I don't know. Let's look it up.
I'm going to say probably an hour.
That feels right. Well, I mean.
Yeah, but you combine that with a concussion, he might be out
for days. I.
Mean we should probably still tie them up.
Good point. With what?
50 foot of hemp and rope. It's in your back.
I just have 50 feet hemp and rope.
Oh wow. I didn't.
Realize I have this. No, it's a tabletop joke.
We'll just use some wires or something.
Well, I was going to ask, is the computer still on?
Yeah, it's on. Well first I wanna go see if I
can access anything on that. Yeah, I think this is only gonna
last about an hour. You're right.
What can I find on my computer? Basic tech.
So as you're rummaging around the desk, you open one of the
drawers and you find this guy's junk drawer.
And in it. Is a spare keyboard a few wired
mice? There's a dumb telephone
extension for an agent or tile that looks like an old school
telephone you plug in. It's got a nice curly wire to
it. It's got 1/5 of gin.
I wonder why it's this drunk drawer.
And there's a packet of Gisner snaps in there as well.
And on the computer is the roster, and it tells you that
there are seven people on shift on this level.
Check the name tags of the two passed out people.
It's Tim and Eric. Load those guys.
We got a couple millionaires. All right, Well, who's that
Shibari tire here? It's is it Iona?
It is Iona. Yeah.
Oh, it's always me. You're the one that usually
makes the joke. I do always make Shibari jokes.
All right, give. Give me those.
Those wires, I suppose. Time up.
I'm going to check these two lockers right here.
Is there anything in them? There's 100 eddies and a God
uniform. All right, yeah, I'll take those
and then we'll just shove them in the lockers like we're back
in high school. Or in you're solid.
Iona, that's a That's a cool nut.
Did you? Is that new?
Yeah, I was watching a view tube.
A video of a a Shibari master, a new one that I haven't seen
before. And then they taught me this
Interesting. That knot looks like a :).
No, it doesn't matter. Isn't that cute?
That's very cute. All right, roll something to tie
them well. What is wrong?
No. I'm using.
Their last? Operation not going to do it.
Iona can't not be good at tying Shabari.
Can't not be good. I'm using all my inspiration
today because somebody's having a bad rolling day. 14 Yes, you
managed to tie up the guard and the desk person, and you help
everybody put them into these lockers in the process of
putting the guard into Shabari, though, because you rolled over
at 12. You managed to remove a large
portion of their uniform, including their wading trousers
that go over their regular trousers and their jackets, so
you can probably get away with looking like a guard.
Oh. So we have two guard uniforms
now. Yes, I think that VV and Jeb
should probably Don those since we're pretty recognizable or
Vendel and now it's also Canon that Jeb can do voices.
That we already made that Canon during the Halloween thing when
we all pretended to be each other.
You're right. Oh my God.
It's character growth. So should we put the uniforms on
now? Sure.
Yeah. My good.
Phoebe, shall I? Or do you?
What do you? Yes, I I think.
I suppose I will. OK.
Let's get some. I'll get some some some wild
sounds here for you. It's not very.
It's not loud enough. It's OK.
I've got them. I've got the sounds for this.
It's don't worry about. It zip.
Zip There's loads of there's loads of clothing sounds on
Epidemic. It's actually kind of cool.
You know, Jeb, not to mean this in the uncomfortable way, but
that guard uniform. Pretty form fitting on you.
Looks good. Oh, thank you.
I appreciate that. But but don't don't call me Jim
no more. I'm now Tim and I love.
Cookies and my wife. Oh God.
And fish. Cookies.
Fish and my wife. I'm Tim.
Retro While Vivi and Jeb have been getting changed into these
outfits, they shuffled off to the lockers to get changed and
to look nice. You fiddled around the computer
and found the door unlock function on the computer to
unlock the door in this room. While you're on that computer,
can you maybe can you maybe check to see if there's any CCTV
footage of of Tim? Because I I was just going off
the hook off of his name. What about what Sam's like?
I have really know what. You know what, Jeb?
You're lucky, cuz Tim had his garden profile locked in.
So I have his whole garden profile.
I'm gonna send it to you right now.
Boop. That's good.
That's. You, you hand over the garden
profile to Jeb, and Jeb starts reading it over to work out any
of the movements and things that they're into.
And after Jeb's suggestion, you look inside the computer to see
if there are any cameras you can look through on this level, and
you have this sudden sense of unease as there are none.
There is no, there's no CCTV cameras here on here, which is.
One of two things. One, they decided they didn't
need to put any in, because who would be dumb enough to really
break into a place like this and need to have those?
Or two, they're really trying to hide something down here that
they don't want people to see. Looking for an RPG podcast that

doesn't have access to it. Either way, let's let's be
careful about this. I'm all go ahead and unlock the
door, OK? Who wants to be the first to
step out? Should probably be one of the
guards. Yeah, yeah.
I think Tim's pretty pretty, pretty excited to get in there.
Am I Tim or Eric? I forgot.
Well, I'm. I'm Tim.
You must be Eric. Got it.
Then Dale gets out of shopping do.
You want me to put an A on the end of that?
And yes and yes, thank you. Jade.
Roll forgery for Vendel Forgery 11.
Yes it is possible. A nice mid roll, pretty mid.
That's all right. It's a slightly different black,
but if no one's paying attention, they won't notice.
All right, you too. Good luck.
Let's go. Vivi and Jeb.
You first. Step out into the hallway.
OK. Yeah why don't you check over
there and I'll be I'll be on this side just looking out for
any intruders. But really I think you should
you know you get the left side and if you see anybody you you
you do the you do the signal and that way I know that you're that
you need your help my help and then I'll I'll come and help you
out. All right.
Role perception. I had no idea Tim was from Neo
Me in Minneapolis. Neo Minneapolis.
Yeah, 18 on perception. That's great.
As you step into this area on your left, you see two vending
machines. One is exclusively jizziness.
Snaps. Man, Retro is going to love
this. And the second one has a bunch
of really useful underwater equipment.
There's a little climbing claw that you can wear as a glove.
There's one rebreather and there is an underwater ration, but the
bottom layer is all just chocolates.
Oh wow. All this diving gear and then
chocolate. That's nice.
Well, I'll make note of that in case we need it.
Added sea salt. Always it's anti the bands
chocolate but like Auntie, Auntie Auntie bands.
And as you step into the area, you notice there's a big
circular pillar in the middle with like a red warning ring
around it. It's probably where the oil rigs
drill is. And then there are a few boxes
and crates spread around. There's a door in front of you,
and to the left you spy a guard just minding his own business
standing next to a door. You're fairly far away.
So he sort of looks over to you, but sees the uniforms and pays
no other attention. It's working.
I'll keep walking, mom. Bye.
Like I belong here and. Yep, I'm right behind you there,
Erica. Just just I, I I don't see any
intruders. So I think, you know, our rounds
are going great. Yeah, let's just kind of step in
real quick in this room. Just doing our rounds.
As you step into the room, there's a guard sitting at this
little break room table and he's having a little drink and
watching a video on his agent. Looks like it's all clear in
here. All right, that's great.
Who the? Fuck, are you?
We're Tim and Eric. Erica.
Yeah, we I'm not. I'm not Erica.
She's Erica. I'm Tim.
Role Acting I need to put now I know I need to start.
Putting more, more, more points in acting. 14 Jeb Very good.
It's not bad. I'm not.
The guy looks at you well. It's not my shift, so fuck it.
Cool high. I guess it's not like you'd be
able to sneak into this super secret base anyway.
Right, his next. I mean, honestly, I kind of I
you wonder why they hire the guards to begin with.
But anyway, you have a great day now.
Yeah, I is it, is it not? What was in that room, by the
way? Besides him?
Anything of. There's a computer.
There are a few lockers, some sofas, a table and the door to
the bathroom. Ah, there's always a bathroom.
Yes. All right.
I suppose we should probably go. Maybe let our friends know.
I mean this, this this room here is clear, so let them know you
don't bring them into the next room.
There's a guy down here, Marius, Yes.
Hello. Oh, hello.
So ain't you see any intruders? No, I mean, you're new.
Who are you? We're, it's Tim and Erica.
OK, we already have a Tim and and Eric, but not an Erica, I
suppose. Right, Well, they they actually,
they're using their their PTO. Oh yeah, we all have a lot of
PTO. Yeah, yeah.
So we're just the the temps just happened.
He isn't that hilarious. We got almost the same names.
Yeah, we we haven't had anybody go down to the downstairs place
in like a good few weeks, so. Yeah.
Oh, OK. Yeah, by the way, there was like
the other guy in in that room. He was, I think he was doing
something inappropriate and I I feel a little uncomfortable to
approach him. So I was wondering if you
wouldn't mind like, I don't know, talking to him.
I yeah, he's he's, he's must be sitting on the computer.
His name? Yeah, yeah, but he was, he was
on his phone, like on the couch. I don't know what he was looking
at, but you know, yeah, look, I I hate to be the one that tattle
tales on people and, you know, rats people out.
Like, it's not usually my vibe, but.
No, no, I appreciate it. As you know, I just rolled high
enough. I'm the union Rep, so I'll have
to deal with that. Thank you.
I appreciate that. Yeah.
Solidarity, you know? Yeah, it's yeah, we can, we can
stay out here and you know. Just keep an eye on the door.
Yep. Yep.
It only opens with the computer in the staff room anyway, so.
I'll go in there and. And talk to him about it now.
We're gonna have a shift change soon.
So, and by shift change, I mean like the seven of us on this
floor just gonna shift around. But I know that like two of the
guys are like doing this girl. So they got the poopy times man
taking going to the bathroom at this pressure level.
Can't take some time that was not brief.
You'd think it'd be like super fast, you know, 'cause it's the
pressure is just kind of pushing it out of you.
Not really. No, it's pushing it in you.
It's. Really hard to fart.
I can imagine, Jeez. My son thinks it's really funny.
Oh, you got a son too? Yeah.
You know, me and the wife. We're we've been working on it.
Oh, go homeless. But it's OK.
I got the secure job where nothing really happens.
Yeah, the whole thing doesn't explore anyway.
Union stuff. I'm going to go talk to that guy
about slacking off. You should be sitting on the
computer. What if we need to open the
door? Plus, like, Kenneth is inside
there just guarding the fucking elevator on his own.
All right, I'll. I'll be back.
Do you do you need anything from the staff room?
No, but actually, you know if you could check the doors, I
know that was on, it was on our short list of things to do just
to make sure that everything is working.
So if you could actually check. No, no, we are guards.
No, no, we're guards. We're guards.
It says right there underneath it says.
In. Guard.
Yeah, we just, we're just saying that, you know, we're supposed
to check to make sure there's no intruders on this level, not
just this room, you understand? So we do need to just get right
in. There and have the tenant.
We did check the bathroom. We checked.
That's why we that's how we went in.
We saw him do his whatever he was doing on his getting in
there. Well, I'll, I'll go and check on
on him. So you need to check on Kenneth
as well. We do need to check in on
Kenneth. It's exactly.
All right. Role persuasion.
Now this. This I'm good at. 16.
OK, I'll open it up, but I I gotta, I gotta close it when you
go through. Oh, understood.
I mean, don't let us get in. So I'll.
Only I'll only have it open for about 5 minutes while I deal
with a dickhead. I'll be, I'll be.
I'll be back. You guys, you guys stay there.
And he walks through the hallway and into the side room.
All right, so you've now cleared the hallway of personnel.
Well, shit. I mean, we've cleared the room,
but we still can't get in this door because we need to get.
Get through the door. It looks like it's open.
Wait, wait at the others. No way.
I'm going in now. I'll distract him.
I'll distract. As you step into this room, it's
long and at the very end there is a completely different build
of structure. It looks like it was built after
everything in here, and it's been welded to the
superstructure of the building. And it says restricted access
elevator above it. There are a bunch of red lights
around to make it feel really exclusive.
And a computer next to the door and it says locked in big bold
letters above the elevator door. There is a guard in here.
Kenneth, Everything looking good in here?
Oh, sorry, I didn't mean to to startle you there.
I don't who who, who are. You.
Oh, I'm Tim. Replacement for Tim?
You wouldn't believe it. I mean, what a coinky dink, huh?
That. Is funny.
Yeah, I I they have me on Red door duty.
Yeah, well just we're just checking in.
Erica's actually just going down, going to check the the the
main staff room over there and the bathroom of course, but I
came in here to see how you're doing, see if you'll need
anything, and of course to check the the elevator.
Yes, actually I'm I'm here to to relieve you for just a moment.
This is not your whole break. This is just your 15 minute or.
No, no, no. We get 20 because of the
pressure. Oh see that's that's good to
know. I am union.
I'm. I'm from.
I'm from up top. Yeah.
No, no. So I know that on the surface we
get 15, but because of the pressure we get 20 because it
just takes longer to follow. Right to pull.
Yeah, that's what. That's what he was saying, too.
So, role persuasion. Sure.
You know, I mean I that's a great.
I just really, really need the toilet.
I'll tell you what I I can't. I I don't want to take my here.
No, I understand you've been backed up for a while.
And they they hand you a a a just a little bag.
In the bag is a. Oh God, what's in the bag?
There's a a harpoon charge in there and a packet of gizmo
snaps. Can you just?
Hold this I just I got. To go No, no, not a problem.
And with your crit persuasion, they leave the room and head to
the staff room. OK.
You, you take your time, you know.
Oh, God. Oh, wait, hold on.
All right. I, I, I run to the door, prop it
open a little bit. Hold on.
Kenneth. Kenneth.
God, you didn't tell me the code to the to the elevator.
We got to. We got to make sure.
They don't give us the code. We're just gods.
I got to go. Good God.
Goodness gracious me. I make my way to the other.
OK, the coast is clear. Jeb's handling the last of the
the guys in there, and then we should be good.
So just give it a second. Let me double check.
All right. All right, let's go.
Hi everyone. So where did we go, Vicki?
Up this way. OK to the left.
Yes, to the left, take. It back now you locked.
Come on, Iona, follow me. Following you.
And you all move into the side room.
It's OK. Everything's under.
Oh, oh, she's you guys. Hey Retro, you want to check
this thing out? And as you all step into the
room, the door locks. The door locked.
Guys, I can't open the door. Yeah, but can you?
Can you at least get into this terminal over here and get the
elevator working? Yeah, I'll let me give it a
little. My, my little more of my Magic
fingers. Retros you step over to this
restricted door, you can see this fairly beefy computer
attached to the side. This system is a lot more secure
than the other computers you found on this level, and it
gives you access to a very classified area it seems.
Oh, looks like I have to break a trigger out for this one. 32
Yes, I do the I do the old credit card trick where?
Jeff, come here for a second. Yeah, the just come here.
I'm going to take one of my credit cards.
I keep inside my wallet. I'm going to take it and I'm
going to rub it underneath your armpit several times.
Oh. Oh my God.
Oh, just just quick enough that you start to feel a little bit
of a friction burn. Oh, absolutely.
Yeah, You get. Tickled.
Now it burns and then I'm going to use that and I'm going to rub
it really fast inside the cred this the the mag slot open that
that static electricity is going to work.
In the process of doing this, you also press a few keys in the
keypad as you're pressing these buttons above.
The elevator. A little iris opens and it
scans. Everyone in the room stops on
Iona passes from bottom to top and then the screen says.
Biometric. Scan approved.
Well, that was a close one. It's a good thing we brought a
corporal with us, am I right? And the door to the elevator
Pistons open. Yeah.
I also think now that they know that Iona's been here.
Well, we'll. Probably have to destroy the
record. Let's not forget that somebody
write that down. Well, you're thinking that'll be
destroyed when we blow this thing to shit.
Come, come, Anna, Do you have your notebook on you?
I do. I'm writing it down.
Destroy the records. What are y'all waiting for
everybody in going down? Come on Iona, there's plenty of
space in here. You won't have to touch anyone.
It's a really wide elevator. You're a wide elevator.
It's just being nice. I'm just kidding.
You're, you're. You're the perfect elevator.
I go up, up and down. I'm an elevator.
Oh, I'm sure you do. Hey, I spend, I spend, I spend.
I spend 15 minutes with Reeves in the kitchen and suddenly I'm
some kind of whore. Well, you know what?
I think Iona's just jealous because you have had more fun
with Reeves than they have had with Doctor Sativ.
I I I am Privy to send private messages and I will say no more
comments. All sound spicy.
All right, we might as well press the buttons on this
elevator. And Iona, in a moment of social
discomfort, pushes the button and you descend down into the
Abbott lab. Time for a Gisner snap?
Next time on no latency and all the business snaps are gone.
I'm. Sure, they have plenty down
here. Have you ever been stuck in an
elevator before? This is my biggest fear.
Yeah. Why is this elevator not
working? Just kind of like stopped.
Is this it? Is this the moment where I've
feared my entire life? We won't know until one of us
dies. This is.
The. End see.
Oh. I would rather not do that.
Jeb, you can look. Alright.
You're on the literal shit list. Ohh, I'll shoot.
I'll shoot, I'll shoot about that.
Vendel Can you check the porta potty if there's a body in
there? Vivi, that's your department.
OK, I'm gonna just pull the chip out.
How much did you jiggle the handle?
One HP scrape VV oh. Maybe it's this is like a movie
theater, you know, I was asking if there's candidates here is.
Ready for our exam? Oh shit, we're back in school.
Anyone study for layers? No, I'm going to wait to take a
seat because I haven't been told to take one yet.
Is everyone ready to start their exam?
